It's<00:00:00.840><c> certainly</c><00:00:00.980><c> nice</c><00:00:01.219><c> to</c><00:00:01.399><c> have</c><00:00:01.399><c> my</c><00:00:01.620><c> feet</c><00:00:01.800><c> on</c><00:00:02.100><c> firm</c><00:00:02.279><c> ground</c><00:00:02.640><c> rather</c><00:00:03.040><c> than</c><00:00:03.540><c> being</c><00:00:03.879><c> in</c>

00:00:04.059 --> 00:00:04.679
the<00:00:04.139><c> air</c><00:00:04.280><c> as</c><00:00:04.440><c> I</c><00:00:04.519><c> was</c>

00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:05.660
yesterday.

00:00:06.379 --> 00:00:10.000
What<00:00:06.559><c> we're</c><00:00:06.799><c> going</c><00:00:06.900><c> to</c><00:00:07.099><c> try</c><00:00:07.240><c> to</c><00:00:07.459><c> do</c><00:00:07.820><c> over</c><00:00:08.720><c> our</c><00:00:09.039><c> sessions</c><00:00:09.359><c> together</c><00:00:09.740><c> this</c>

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.599
week<00:00:10.279><c> is</c><00:00:10.720><c> to</c><00:00:11.380><c> look</c><00:00:11.539><c> at</c><00:00:11.820><c> the</c><00:00:12.400><c> book</c>

00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:16.839
of<00:00:12.820><c> Revelation</c><00:00:13.259><c> in</c><00:00:14.320><c> as</c><00:00:14.599><c> simple</c><00:00:14.839><c> a</c><00:00:15.000><c> fashion</c><00:00:15.199><c> as</c><00:00:15.300><c> it's</c><00:00:15.660><c> possible</c><00:00:15.980><c> to.</c>

00:00:17.460 --> 00:00:21.440
Let<00:00:17.980><c> me</c><00:00:18.160><c> perhaps</c><00:00:18.359><c> just</c><00:00:18.699><c> start</c><00:00:18.960><c> by</c><00:00:19.260><c> asking</c><00:00:19.640><c> how</c><00:00:19.879><c> many</c><00:00:20.140><c> of</c><00:00:20.300><c> you</c><00:00:20.460><c> have</c><00:00:20.920><c> heard</c><00:00:21.179><c> a</c>

00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:22.359
talk<00:00:21.600><c> about</c><00:00:21.859><c> Revelation</c>

00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:24.359
which<00:00:22.539><c> has</c><00:00:22.760><c> gone</c><00:00:22.879><c> over</c><00:00:23.179><c> your</c><00:00:23.519><c> head?</c>

00:00:26.780 --> 00:00:29.260
I'm<00:00:27.300><c> certainly</c><00:00:27.640><c> one</c><00:00:27.899><c> of</c><00:00:28.079><c> those.</c>

00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:36.179
The<00:00:31.320><c> idea</c><00:00:31.839><c> for</c><00:00:32.380><c> this</c><00:00:32.640><c> week</c><00:00:32.880><c> is</c><00:00:33.140><c> to</c><00:00:33.340><c> try</c><00:00:33.539><c> and</c><00:00:33.799><c> deal</c><00:00:33.960><c> with</c><00:00:34.479><c> the</c><00:00:35.039><c> book</c><00:00:35.420><c> so</c>

00:00:36.179 --> 00:00:37.219
that<00:00:36.399><c> even</c><00:00:36.600><c> if</c><00:00:36.740><c> you're</c><00:00:37.020><c> lying</c>

00:00:37.219 --> 00:00:39.960
horizontally<00:00:37.880><c> it's</c><00:00:38.159><c> not</c><00:00:38.280><c> going</c><00:00:38.439><c> to</c><00:00:38.560><c> go</c><00:00:38.659><c> over</c><00:00:38.859><c> your</c><00:00:39.140><c> head.</c>

00:00:40.979 --> 00:00:43.619
I<00:00:41.200><c> hope</c><00:00:41.460><c> you</c><00:00:41.820><c> don't</c><00:00:42.060><c> feel</c><00:00:42.280><c> that's</c><00:00:42.579><c> too</c><00:00:42.880><c> simple</c><00:00:43.200><c> and</c><00:00:43.359><c> I</c><00:00:43.439><c> don't</c>

00:00:43.619 --> 00:00:45.880
want<00:00:43.780><c> to</c><00:00:44.100><c> try</c><00:00:44.399><c> and</c><00:00:44.859><c> insult</c><00:00:45.159><c> your</c><00:00:45.460><c> intelligence</c>

00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:47.219
in<00:00:46.079><c> any</c><00:00:46.200><c> way</c><00:00:46.399><c> at</c><00:00:46.579><c> all.</c>

00:00:47.659 --> 00:00:50.380
If<00:00:48.020><c> we're</c><00:00:48.320><c> dealing</c><00:00:48.380><c> with</c><00:00:48.579><c> anyone's</c><00:00:49.079><c> intelligence</c><00:00:49.359><c> it's</c><00:00:49.700><c> mine,</c><00:00:50.100><c> not</c>

00:00:50.380 --> 00:00:51.799
yours,<00:00:50.939><c> and</c><00:00:51.200><c> I'm</c><00:00:51.420><c> trying</c><00:00:51.560><c> to</c><00:00:51.700><c> deal</c>

00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:53.880
with<00:00:51.939><c> this</c><00:00:52.119><c> in</c><00:00:52.240><c> a</c><00:00:52.340><c> way</c><00:00:52.460><c> in</c><00:00:52.560><c> which</c><00:00:52.700><c> I</c><00:00:52.880><c> can</c><00:00:53.159><c> understand</c><00:00:53.500><c> it.</c>

00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:56.700
If<00:00:54.420><c> I</c><00:00:54.600><c> can</c><00:00:54.799><c> understand</c><00:00:55.100><c> it</c><00:00:55.259><c> then</c><00:00:55.439><c> perhaps</c><00:00:55.880><c> you'll</c><00:00:56.299><c> be</c><00:00:56.399><c> able</c><00:00:56.539><c> to</c>

00:00:56.700 --> 00:00:58.380
understand<00:00:57.020><c> it</c><00:00:57.219><c> as</c><00:00:57.420><c> well.</c>

00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.939
And<00:01:01.119><c> so</c><00:01:01.359><c> this</c><00:01:01.659><c> morning</c><00:01:02.140><c> it</c><00:01:02.560><c> is</c><00:01:02.740><c> a</c><00:01:02.939><c> challenge.</c>

00:01:04.060 --> 00:01:07.280
To<00:01:04.239><c> many</c><00:01:04.480><c> people</c><00:01:04.819><c> the</c><00:01:04.980><c> book</c><00:01:05.099><c> of</c><00:01:05.299><c> Revelation</c><00:01:05.620><c> is</c><00:01:05.819><c> a</c><00:01:06.000><c> closed</c><00:01:06.260><c> book.</c>

00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.540
Just<00:01:08.480><c> as</c><00:01:08.599><c> to</c><00:01:08.719><c> the</c><00:01:08.859><c> world</c><00:01:09.000><c> in</c><00:01:09.239><c> general</c><00:01:09.459><c> the</c><00:01:09.680><c> scriptures</c><00:01:09.959><c> are</c><00:01:10.239><c> closed,</c><00:01:11.359><c> so</c>

00:01:11.540 --> 00:01:13.140
to<00:01:11.719><c> some</c><00:01:11.980><c> who</c><00:01:12.420><c> read</c><00:01:12.579><c> the</c><00:01:12.799><c> scriptures</c>

00:01:13.140 --> 00:01:15.420
the<00:01:13.299><c> book</c><00:01:13.480><c> of</c><00:01:13.599><c> Revelation</c><00:01:14.000><c> is</c><00:01:14.180><c> a</c><00:01:14.340><c> closed</c><00:01:14.599><c> book.</c>

00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:21.159
Rather<00:01:15.819><c> strange</c><00:01:16.319><c> really</c><00:01:16.719><c> because</c><00:01:17.439><c> as</c><00:01:17.859><c> the</c><00:01:18.060><c> title</c><00:01:18.500><c> of</c><00:01:18.760><c> the</c><00:01:18.879><c> book</c><00:01:19.319><c> says</c><00:01:20.180><c> it</c>

00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:22.980
is<00:01:21.620><c> revealing</c><00:01:22.299><c> something</c>

00:01:22.980 --> 00:01:23.579
to<00:01:23.379><c> us.</c>

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.000
It's<00:01:23.780><c> not</c><00:01:23.939><c> concealing,</c><00:01:25.540><c> it's</c><00:01:25.859><c> revealing.</c>

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:31.659
And<00:01:27.859><c> personally</c><00:01:28.239><c> I</c><00:01:28.680><c> don't</c><00:01:29.159><c> like</c><00:01:29.719><c> to</c><00:01:30.519><c> change</c><00:01:30.939><c> the</c><00:01:31.180><c> name</c><00:01:31.379><c> from</c>

00:01:31.659 --> 00:01:33.099
the<00:01:31.799><c> name</c><00:01:31.959><c> Revelation.</c>

00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:40.219
Almost<00:01:35.120><c> if</c><00:01:35.400><c> by</c><00:01:35.640><c> putting</c><00:01:35.900><c> the</c><00:01:36.120><c> Greek</c><00:01:36.400><c> term</c><00:01:36.799><c> there</c><00:01:37.159><c> we</c><00:01:37.939><c> are</c><00:01:38.040><c> adding</c><00:01:38.359><c> a</c><00:01:38.780><c> confusion</c><00:01:39.319><c> in</c>

00:01:40.219 --> 00:01:40.859
the<00:01:40.480><c> minds</c><00:01:40.700><c> of</c>

00:01:40.859 --> 00:01:43.939
many<00:01:41.659><c> people</c><00:01:42.439><c> which</c><00:01:42.980><c> needn't</c><00:01:43.319><c> be</c><00:01:43.480><c> there.</c>

00:01:43.939 --> 00:01:50.420
Let's<00:01:44.540><c> just</c><00:01:44.819><c> think</c><00:01:45.079><c> of</c><00:01:45.280><c> the</c><00:01:45.439><c> book</c><00:01:45.680><c> as</c><00:01:46.540><c> revealing,</c><00:01:47.500><c> as</c><00:01:47.659><c> uncovering</c><00:01:48.659><c> something</c><00:01:49.540><c> rather</c>

00:01:50.420 --> 00:01:51.500
than<00:01:50.620><c> as</c><00:01:51.019><c> obscuring</c>

00:01:51.500 --> 00:01:52.579
it.

00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.799
And<00:01:54.500><c> of</c><00:01:54.739><c> course</c><00:01:54.900><c> we</c><00:01:55.060><c> know</c><00:01:55.379><c> that</c><00:01:55.599><c> the</c><00:01:55.879><c> message</c><00:01:56.239><c> of</c><00:01:56.379><c> the</c><00:01:56.439><c> book</c><00:01:56.599><c> of</c>

00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:58.040
Revelation<00:01:57.099><c> comes</c><00:01:57.480><c> from</c><00:01:57.719><c> the</c><00:01:57.879><c> Lord</c>

00:01:58.040 --> 00:01:59.379
Jesus<00:01:58.439><c> Christ.</c>

00:01:59.819 --> 00:02:03.840
Now<00:02:00.219><c> outside</c><00:02:00.760><c> of</c><00:02:01.019><c> Revelation</c><00:02:01.739><c> the</c><00:02:02.459><c> words</c><00:02:02.760><c> of</c><00:02:02.980><c> the</c><00:02:03.140><c> Lord</c><00:02:03.319><c> Jesus</c>

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:06.040
Christ<00:02:04.099><c> are</c><00:02:04.359><c> amongst</c><00:02:04.799><c> the</c><00:02:05.040><c> ones</c><00:02:05.299><c> which</c>

00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:10.000
we<00:02:06.579><c> generally</c><00:02:07.040><c> find</c><00:02:07.340><c> the</c><00:02:07.719><c> easiest</c><00:02:08.439><c> to</c><00:02:08.840><c> understand.</c>

00:02:10.009 --> 00:02:12.060
If<00:02:10.280><c> we</c><00:02:10.439><c> were</c><00:02:10.539><c> going</c><00:02:10.659><c> to</c><00:02:10.780><c> move</c><00:02:10.960><c> to</c><00:02:11.159><c> a</c><00:02:11.280><c> passage</c><00:02:11.500><c> which</c><00:02:11.759><c> we</c><00:02:11.939><c> said</c>

00:02:12.060 --> 00:02:15.800
is<00:02:12.539><c> absolutely</c><00:02:13.419><c> clear</c><00:02:14.180><c> we</c><00:02:15.139><c> would</c><00:02:15.460><c> probably</c>

00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:19.659
pick<00:02:16.060><c> a</c><00:02:16.439><c> parable</c><00:02:16.699><c> of</c><00:02:16.939><c> the</c><00:02:17.099><c> Lord</c><00:02:17.300><c> Jesus</c><00:02:17.780><c> and</c><00:02:18.099><c> its</c><00:02:18.439><c> explanation.</c>

00:02:20.060 --> 00:02:22.900
So<00:02:20.300><c> take</c><00:02:20.500><c> for</c><00:02:20.680><c> example</c><00:02:21.000><c> the</c><00:02:21.259><c> parable</c><00:02:21.539><c> of</c><00:02:21.759><c> the</c><00:02:22.020><c> sower.</c>

00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.099

00:05:28.660 --> 00:05:31.019
And<00:05:28.819><c> so</c><00:05:28.899><c> we</c><00:05:29.019><c> know</c><00:05:29.199><c> what</c><00:05:29.459><c> happens,</c><00:05:30.060><c> this</c><00:05:30.279><c> is</c><00:05:30.459><c> a</c><00:05:30.579><c> Sunday</c><00:05:30.779><c> school</c>

00:05:46.939 --> 00:05:51.120
And<00:05:47.339><c> then</c><00:05:47.899><c> a</c><00:05:48.360><c> force</c><00:05:49.019><c> is</c><00:05:49.839><c> to</c><00:05:50.000><c> go</c><00:05:50.220><c> out.</c>

time<00:07:28.779><c> that</c><00:07:28.939><c> they</c><00:07:29.100><c> go</c><00:07:29.399><c> round,</c><00:07:29.779><c> the</c><00:07:29.860><c> people</c><00:07:30.120><c> are</c><00:07:30.420><c> told</c><00:07:30.579><c> to</c><00:07:31.040><c> shout.</c>

00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:37.100
And<00:07:32.779><c> they</c><00:07:32.959><c> do</c><00:07:33.259><c> shout,</c><00:07:34.540><c> and</c><00:07:34.720><c> the</c><00:07:34.879><c> city</c><00:07:35.160><c> wall</c><00:07:35.439><c> falls</c><00:07:35.800><c> down</c><00:07:36.180><c> flat,</c>

00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:38.839
and<00:07:37.560><c> the</c><00:07:37.699><c> people</c><00:07:37.920><c> are</c><00:07:38.139><c> able</c><00:07:38.319><c> to</c><00:07:38.519><c> go</c><00:07:38.660><c> up,</c>

00:07:38.860 --> 00:07:41.180
and<00:07:39.000><c> the</c><00:07:39.199><c> city</c><00:07:39.360><c> is</c><00:07:39.620><c> taken</c><00:07:39.800><c> without</c><00:07:40.060><c> a</c><00:07:40.300><c> shot</c><00:07:40.439><c> being</c><00:07:40.800><c> fired.</c>

00:07:41.379 --> 00:07:44.040
Sorry<00:07:41.740><c> about</c><00:07:41.939><c> the</c><00:07:42.199><c> shot,</c><00:07:42.699><c> but</c><00:07:42.779><c> you</c><00:07:42.860><c> know</c><00:07:42.980><c> what</c><00:07:43.139><c> I</c><00:07:43.300><c> mean,</c><00:07:43.720><c> right?</c>

00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:49.040
The<00:07:44.519><c> city</c><00:07:44.839><c> is</c><00:07:45.100><c> taken,</c><00:07:47.439><c> and</c><00:07:47.500><c> the</c><00:07:47.639><c> city</c><00:07:47.920><c> comes</c><00:07:48.259><c> into</c><00:07:48.600><c> the</c><00:07:48.720><c> hands</c>

00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:52.420
of<00:07:49.279><c> Joshua</c><00:07:49.839><c> and</c><00:07:50.879><c> the</c><00:07:51.019><c> people</c><00:07:51.300><c> of</c><00:07:51.560><c> God.</c>

00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.019
Now,<00:07:54.019><c> that's</c><00:07:54.439><c> a</c><00:07:54.639><c> parable.</c>

00:07:55.259 --> 00:07:58.800
Of<00:07:55.439><c> course</c><00:07:55.680><c> it</c><00:07:55.860><c> really</c><00:07:56.259><c> happened,</c><00:07:56.639><c> yes</c><00:07:56.879><c> it</c><00:07:57.040><c> did,</c><00:07:57.319><c> but</c><00:07:57.480><c> it's</c><00:07:57.660><c> a</c><00:07:57.860><c> parable.</c>

00:07:59.459 --> 00:08:01.120
We<00:07:59.579><c> know</c><00:07:59.740><c> what</c><00:07:59.939><c> the</c><00:08:00.060><c> name</c><00:08:00.240><c> Joshua</c><00:08:00.759><c> means.</c>

00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:02.100
It's<00:08:01.379><c> a</c><00:08:01.500><c> Hebrew</c><00:08:01.800><c> name.</c>

00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:04.000
It<00:08:02.199><c> means</c><00:08:02.420><c> Yah</c><00:08:02.860><c> saves.</c>

00:08:04.220 --> 00:08:07.720
Move<00:08:04.379><c> into</c><00:08:04.579><c> the</c><00:08:04.699><c> New</c><00:08:04.920><c> Testament,</c><00:08:06.060><c> and</c><00:08:06.199><c> it's</c><00:08:06.480><c> Jesus.</c>

00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:13.920
In<00:08:08.519><c> fact,</c><00:08:08.980><c> Hebrews</c><00:08:09.139><c> chapter</c><00:08:09.600><c> four</c><00:08:10.000><c> and</c><00:08:10.279><c> verse</c><00:08:10.480><c> eight,</c><00:08:12.399><c> if</c><00:08:12.560><c> Jesus</c><00:08:13.379><c> had</c>

00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:15.839
given<00:08:14.139><c> them</c><00:08:14.420><c> rest,</c><00:08:15.259><c> and</c><00:08:15.399><c> it's</c><00:08:15.699><c> speaking</c>

00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:19.500
about<00:08:16.139><c> Joshua,</c><00:08:16.819><c> if</c><00:08:17.079><c> Joshua</c><00:08:17.600><c> had</c><00:08:17.879><c> given</c><00:08:18.040><c> them</c><00:08:18.300><c> rest,</c><00:08:18.860><c> all</c><00:08:19.040><c> right?</c>

00:08:19.899 --> 00:08:23.319
So<00:08:20.199><c> the</c><00:08:20.399><c> parable</c><00:08:20.759><c> is</c><00:08:21.040><c> telling</c><00:08:21.180><c> us</c><00:08:21.399><c> about</c><00:08:21.800><c> Jesus.</c>

00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:27.120
Just<00:08:25.180><c> like</c><00:08:25.379><c> the</c><00:08:25.620><c> parable</c><00:08:25.860><c> of</c><00:08:26.060><c> the</c><00:08:26.279><c> Sower,</c><00:08:26.439><c> look</c><00:08:26.639><c> at</c><00:08:26.800><c> each</c><00:08:27.000><c> of</c>

00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:28.379
the<00:08:27.360><c> elements.</c>

00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:33.159
Jericho,<00:08:30.279><c> a</c><00:08:30.560><c> city</c><00:08:31.040><c> strongly</c><00:08:31.860><c> fortified,</c>

00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:40.639
adverse<00:08:34.419><c> to</c><00:08:34.639><c> the</c><00:08:34.799><c> things</c><00:08:35.080><c> of</c><00:08:35.360><c> God,</c><00:08:37.340><c> teaching</c><00:08:37.480><c> false</c><00:08:38.379><c> religion,</c><00:08:40.320><c> stands</c>

00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:42.500
for<00:08:41.159><c> the</c><00:08:41.440><c> city</c><00:08:41.799><c> of</c><00:08:42.200><c> men,</c>

00:08:42.620 --> 00:08:47.379
the<00:08:42.899><c> kingdom</c><00:08:43.440><c> of</c><00:08:43.820><c> men,</c><00:08:45.960><c> in</c><00:08:46.139><c> our</c><00:08:46.399><c> parable.</c>

00:08:47.659 --> 00:08:53.879
So<00:08:47.840><c> we've</c><00:08:48.039><c> got</c><00:08:48.200><c> Jesus</c><00:08:48.960><c> and</c><00:08:50.279><c> his</c><00:08:51.059><c> followers</c><00:08:51.759><c> against</c><00:08:53.240><c> the</c><00:08:53.580><c> city</c>

00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:55.120
of<00:08:54.139><c> men,</c>

00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:00.080
and<00:08:56.779><c> the</c><00:08:56.980><c> city</c><00:08:57.259><c> of</c><00:08:57.500><c> men</c><00:08:57.779><c> is</c><00:08:58.139><c> ultimately</c><00:08:58.759><c> destroyed.</c>

00:09:00.259 --> 00:09:01.600
Various<00:09:00.559><c> things</c><00:09:00.919><c> happen.</c>

00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.840
People<00:09:02.539><c> go</c><00:09:02.820><c> round</c><00:09:03.200><c> it,</c><00:09:03.480><c> trumpets</c><00:09:03.980><c> are</c><00:09:04.220><c> blown,</c><00:09:05.320><c> judgments</c><00:09:05.580><c> are</c>

00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:06.259
brought<00:09:06.080><c> out.</c>

00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:10.399
In<00:09:06.519><c> the</c><00:09:06.759><c> end,</c><00:09:06.919><c> there's</c><00:09:07.100><c> a</c><00:09:07.240><c> great</c><00:09:07.559><c> shout,</c><00:09:09.559><c> and</c><00:09:09.740><c> the</c><00:09:09.960><c> city</c><00:09:10.200><c> of</c>

00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:11.320
men<00:09:10.639><c> falls</c>

00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:14.419
and<00:09:11.980><c> comes</c><00:09:12.299><c> into</c><00:09:12.600><c> the</c><00:09:12.740><c> hand</c><00:09:12.960><c> of</c><00:09:13.139><c> the</c><00:09:13.299><c> Lord</c><00:09:13.480><c> Jesus</c><00:09:13.860><c> Christ</c><00:09:14.259><c> and</c>

00:09:14.419 --> 00:09:15.639
his<00:09:14.659><c> followers.</c>

00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.299
Keep<00:09:16.559><c> your</c><00:09:16.740><c> finger</c><00:09:16.960><c> in</c><00:09:17.159><c> Joshua</c><00:09:17.399><c> and</c><00:09:17.500><c> just</c><00:09:17.639><c> go</c><00:09:17.779><c> into</c><00:09:17.980><c> Revelation</c><00:09:18.539><c> chapter</c><00:09:18.960><c> 11,</c>

00:09:22.379 --> 00:09:26.779
and<00:09:22.860><c> there's</c><00:09:23.080><c> one</c><00:09:23.320><c> verse</c><00:09:23.940><c> out</c><00:09:24.960><c> of</c><00:09:25.100><c> all</c><00:09:25.320><c> the</c><00:09:25.519><c> verses</c><00:09:25.720><c> in</c><00:09:25.879><c> the</c><00:09:25.980><c> book</c><00:09:26.100><c> of</c><00:09:26.299><c> Revelation,</c>

00:09:26.779 --> 00:09:31.899
which<00:09:27.440><c> perhaps</c><00:09:29.159><c> summarizes</c><00:09:29.899><c> better</c><00:09:30.279><c> than</c><00:09:30.480><c> any</c><00:09:30.820><c> others</c><00:09:31.179><c> what</c>

00:09:31.899 --> 00:09:33.620
the<00:09:32.039><c> book</c><00:09:32.220><c> is</c><00:09:32.460><c> about,</c>

00:09:34.220 --> 00:09:40.700
and<00:09:34.220><c> it's</c><00:09:34.379><c> here</c><00:09:34.639><c> in</c><00:09:35.759><c> the</c><00:09:35.919><c> 11th</c><00:09:36.320><c> chapter,</c><00:09:39.659><c> and</c><00:09:39.820><c> it's</c><00:09:40.000><c> verse</c><00:09:40.240><c> 15,</c>

00:09:40.820 --> 00:09:45.360
and<00:09:41.159><c> interestingly,</c><00:09:42.000><c> it's</c><00:09:42.080><c> when</c><00:09:42.799><c> the</c><00:09:43.240><c> seventh</c><00:09:43.679><c> trumpet</c><00:09:44.539><c> sounds,</c>

00:09:45.500 --> 00:09:48.960
so<00:09:45.700><c> we've</c><00:09:45.919><c> immediately</c><00:09:46.320><c> got</c><00:09:46.539><c> our</c><00:09:46.840><c> connection</c><00:09:47.259><c> with</c><00:09:47.519><c> Jericho.</c>

00:09:49.419 --> 00:09:52.039
Revelation<00:09:49.799><c> 11</c><00:09:50.139><c> and</c><00:09:50.279><c> verse</c><00:09:50.519><c> 15,</c><00:09:50.879><c> the</c><00:09:51.100><c> seventh</c><00:09:51.340><c> angel</c><00:09:51.639><c> sounded,</c>

00:09:52.100 --> 00:09:54.700
and<00:09:52.220><c> there</c><00:09:52.279><c> were</c><00:09:52.379><c> great</c><00:09:52.740><c> voices</c><00:09:53.240><c> in</c><00:09:53.500><c> heaven,</c><00:09:54.399><c> all</c><00:09:54.700><c> right?</c>

00:09:54.700 --> 00:09:57.559
So<00:09:54.860><c> we've</c><00:09:54.899><c> got</c><00:09:55.059><c> a</c><00:09:55.240><c> trumpet,</c><00:09:56.240><c> and</c><00:09:56.320><c> we've</c><00:09:56.460><c> got</c><00:09:56.580><c> a</c><00:09:56.700><c> great</c><00:09:56.980><c> shout,</c>

00:09:58.019 --> 00:10:01.220
just<00:09:58.240><c> as</c><00:09:58.360><c> there</c><00:09:58.480><c> have</c><00:09:58.639><c> been</c><00:09:58.840><c> in</c><00:09:59.360><c> Joshua</c><00:09:59.720><c> chapter</c><00:10:00.059><c> 6.</c>

00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:03.879
And<00:10:02.379><c> this</c><00:10:02.500><c> is</c><00:10:02.620><c> what</c><00:10:02.740><c> was</c><00:10:02.940><c> said,</c>

00:10:03.980 --> 00:10:07.120
the<00:10:04.139><c> kingdoms</c><00:10:04.600><c> of</c><00:10:04.799><c> this</c><00:10:05.159><c> world</c><00:10:05.659><c> have</c><00:10:06.379><c> become</c><00:10:06.600><c> the</c><00:10:06.779><c> kingdoms</c>

00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:09.559
of<00:10:07.360><c> our</c><00:10:07.580><c> Lord</c><00:10:07.899><c> and</c><00:10:08.120><c> of</c><00:10:08.259><c> his</c><00:10:08.460><c> Christ,</c>

00:10:09.659 --> 00:10:12.379
and<00:10:09.779><c> he</c><00:10:10.019><c> shall</c><00:10:10.240><c> reign</c><00:10:10.820><c> forever</c><00:10:11.600><c> and</c><00:10:12.059><c> ever.</c>

00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:15.340

who<00:20:40.779><c> had</c><00:20:41.059><c> brought</c><00:20:41.299><c> the</c><00:20:41.539><c> problem</c><00:20:41.940><c> upon</c><00:20:42.240><c> Israel,</c>

verse<00:20:43.180><c> 20</c><00:20:43.680><c> of</c><00:20:43.859><c> Joshua</c><00:20:44.259><c> 7,</c><00:20:45.480><c> Achan</c><00:20:45.839><c> answered</c><00:20:46.420><c> Joshua</c><00:20:47.200><c> and</c><00:20:47.880><c> said,</c>

00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:51.759
Indeed<00:20:48.640><c> I</c><00:20:48.940><c> have</c><00:20:49.200><c> sinned</c><00:20:49.460><c> against</c><00:20:49.799><c> the</c><00:20:49.960><c> Lord</c><00:20:50.180><c> the</c><00:20:50.319><c> God</c><00:20:50.480><c> of</c><00:20:50.559><c> Israel,</c><00:20:51.640><c> and</c>

00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:53.480
thus<00:20:51.940><c> and</c><00:20:52.119><c> thus</c><00:20:52.220><c> have</c><00:20:52.460><c> I</c><00:20:52.559><c> done.</c>

00:20:53.579 --> 00:20:57.460
When<00:20:53.779><c> I</c><00:20:54.119><c> saw</c><00:20:54.460><c> among</c><00:20:54.940><c> the</c><00:20:55.319><c> spoils,</c><00:20:55.700><c> have</c><00:20:55.859><c> you</c><00:20:55.859><c> ever</c><00:20:56.019><c> noticed</c><00:20:56.279><c> it</c><00:20:56.500><c> before,</c>

00:20:57.539 --> 00:21:01.759
a<00:20:57.700><c> goodly</c><00:20:58.240><c> Babylonish</c><00:20:59.279><c> garment</c><00:20:59.940><c> and</c><00:21:00.859><c> two</c><00:21:01.059><c> hundred</c><00:21:01.380><c> shekels</c>

00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:02.180
of<00:21:01.859><c> silver</c>

00:21:02.180 --> 00:21:05.920
and<00:21:02.339><c> a</c><00:21:02.440><c> wedge</c><00:21:02.539><c> of</c><00:21:02.759><c> gold</c><00:21:02.980><c> of</c><00:21:03.140><c> fifty</c><00:21:03.380><c> shekels</c><00:21:03.839><c> weight,</c><00:21:04.420><c> I</c><00:21:04.859><c> coveted</c><00:21:05.440><c> them</c>

00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:06.799
and<00:21:06.119><c> took</c><00:21:06.460><c> them.</c>

00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:08.980
Why<00:21:07.460><c> Babylonish?</c>

00:21:09.500 --> 00:21:13.240
Because<00:21:10.019><c> there</c><00:21:10.319><c> was</c><00:21:10.579><c> false</c><00:21:11.079><c> religion</c><00:21:11.839><c> in</c><00:21:12.759><c> Jericho.</c>

00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:16.680
That's<00:21:13.559><c> why</c><00:21:13.740><c> Jericho</c><00:21:14.200><c> had</c><00:21:14.400><c> to</c><00:21:14.559><c> be</c><00:21:14.680><c> destroyed.</c><00:21:15.140><c> That's</c><00:21:15.200><c> why</c><00:21:15.339><c> the</c><00:21:15.599><c> Canaanite</c><00:21:16.079><c> cities</c><00:21:16.299><c> had</c><00:21:16.500><c> to</c>

00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:17.400
be<00:21:16.980><c> destroyed.</c>

00:21:17.779 --> 00:21:22.299
They<00:21:17.880><c> were</c><00:21:18.240><c> cursed</c><00:21:18.619><c> before</c><00:21:19.019><c> God.</c><00:21:19.279><c> They</c><00:21:19.400><c> would</c><00:21:19.619><c> not</c><00:21:19.819><c> accept</c><00:21:20.579><c> that</c><00:21:21.180><c> God</c><00:21:21.480><c> was</c><00:21:21.700><c> the</c><00:21:21.920><c> Lord</c><00:21:22.140><c> in</c>

00:21:22.299 --> 00:21:23.839
all<00:21:22.539><c> the</c><00:21:22.799><c> earth.</c>

00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:28.039
And<00:21:24.220><c> they</c><00:21:24.539><c> worshipped</c><00:21:25.680><c> in</c><00:21:25.980><c> a</c><00:21:26.220><c> way</c><00:21:26.400><c> which</c><00:21:26.660><c> was</c><00:21:27.019><c> false.</c>

00:21:28.339 --> 00:21:31.200
And<00:21:28.539><c> there</c><00:21:28.660><c> was</c><00:21:28.859><c> a</c><00:21:29.039><c> Babylonish</c><00:21:30.000><c> garment.</c>

00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:35.240
False<00:21:32.380><c> religion</c><00:21:32.740><c> often</c><00:21:33.200><c> has</c><00:21:33.579><c> associated</c><00:21:34.299><c> with</c><00:21:34.559><c> it</c><00:21:34.700><c> the</c><00:21:34.839><c> idea</c>

00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:36.390
that<00:21:35.559><c> somehow</c>

00:21:36.500 --> 00:21:40.079
man<00:21:36.880><c> has</c><00:21:37.079><c> got</c><00:21:37.259><c> to</c><00:21:37.559><c> glorify</c><00:21:38.079><c> himself</c><00:21:38.619><c> with</c><00:21:38.819><c> his</c><00:21:39.099><c> clothing.</c>

00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:44.859
And<00:21:41.220><c> so</c><00:21:41.359><c> the</c><00:21:41.579><c> leaders</c><00:21:41.799><c> of</c><00:21:42.019><c> false</c><00:21:42.359><c> religion</c><00:21:42.720><c> and</c><00:21:42.960><c> their</c><00:21:43.259><c> garb,</c>

00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:46.200
their<00:21:45.339><c> vesture,</c>

00:21:46.700 --> 00:21:50.220
is<00:21:46.819><c> all</c><00:21:47.180><c> part</c><00:21:47.440><c> of</c><00:21:47.559><c> something</c><00:21:47.839><c> which</c><00:21:48.299><c> started</c><00:21:49.220><c> centuries,</c>

00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:52.240
millennia<00:21:51.160><c> ago.</c>

00:21:53.339 --> 00:21:57.180
And<00:21:53.579><c> it</c><00:21:53.640><c> was</c><00:21:53.900><c> there</c><00:21:54.240><c> in</c><00:21:54.519><c> Jericho.</c><00:21:55.259><c> And</c><00:21:55.480><c> there</c><00:21:55.599><c> was</c><00:21:55.859><c> false</c><00:21:56.220><c> religion</c><00:21:56.579><c> in</c><00:21:56.799><c> Jericho.</c>

00:21:57.180 --> 00:22:01.119
So<00:21:57.619><c> it's</c><00:21:57.900><c> quite</c><00:21:58.200><c> fair,</c><00:21:59.559><c> quite</c><00:21:59.720><c> reasonable</c><00:22:00.279><c> that</c><00:22:00.480><c> when</c><00:22:00.619><c> we</c><00:22:00.819><c> move</c><00:22:00.960><c> to</c>

00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:01.960
the<00:22:01.200><c> book</c><00:22:01.319><c> of</c><00:22:01.539><c> Revelation</c>

00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:05.039
we<00:22:02.700><c> find</c><00:22:03.019><c> the</c><00:22:03.240><c> city</c><00:22:03.480><c> called</c><00:22:03.920><c> Babylon.</c>

00:22:06.019 --> 00:22:08.200
It<00:22:06.180><c> was</c><00:22:06.380><c> there</c><00:22:06.799><c> all</c><00:22:07.259><c> that</c><00:22:07.559><c> time</c><00:22:07.859><c> ago.</c>

00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:13.099
We<00:22:08.420><c> don't</c><00:22:08.680><c> need</c><00:22:08.940><c> to</c><00:22:09.099><c> go</c><00:22:09.299><c> just</c><00:22:09.720><c> as</c><00:22:10.019><c> far</c><00:22:10.319><c> back</c><00:22:10.799><c> as</c><00:22:12.119><c> the</c><00:22:12.279><c> book</c><00:22:12.440><c> of</c><00:22:12.680><c> Daniel,</c>

00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:16.279
although<00:22:13.599><c> we</c><00:22:13.980><c> shall</c><00:22:14.200><c> see</c><00:22:14.480><c> in</c><00:22:14.599><c> a</c><00:22:14.700><c> moment</c><00:22:14.880><c> how</c><00:22:15.079><c> important</c><00:22:15.500><c> Daniel</c><00:22:15.779><c> is</c><00:22:16.039><c> to</c>

understanding<00:22:16.660><c> Revelation.</c>

00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:20.539
It<00:22:17.980><c> goes</c><00:22:18.380><c> farther</c><00:22:18.819><c> back</c><00:22:19.140><c> than</c><00:22:19.400><c> that.</c><00:22:19.539><c> And</c><00:22:19.680><c> we</c><00:22:19.759><c> shall</c><00:22:19.880><c> see</c><00:22:20.059><c> later</c><00:22:20.380><c> in</c>

00:22:20.539 --> 00:22:21.019
the<00:22:20.619><c> week</c>

00:22:21.019 --> 00:22:24.619
it<00:22:21.299><c> goes</c><00:22:21.539><c> back</c><00:22:21.799><c> even</c><00:22:22.220><c> earlier</c><00:22:22.839><c> than</c><00:22:23.619><c> the</c><00:22:23.880><c> book</c><00:22:24.019><c> of</c><00:22:24.220><c> Joshua.</c>

00:22:24.619 --> 00:22:29.359
But<00:22:24.880><c> we've</c><00:22:25.200><c> identified</c><00:22:25.880><c> it</c><00:22:26.140><c> here</c><00:22:26.779><c> in</c><00:22:27.460><c> Joshua</c><00:22:27.799><c> chapter</c><00:22:28.180><c> 7.</c>

00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:35.380
So<00:22:30.400><c> to</c><00:22:30.819><c> begin</c><00:22:31.119><c> with,</c><00:22:32.559><c> our</c><00:22:32.640><c> tip</c><00:22:32.839><c> number</c><00:22:33.200><c> one</c><00:22:33.539><c> was</c><00:22:34.220><c> there's</c><00:22:35.259><c> a</c>

00:22:35.380 --> 00:22:37.180
seven<00:22:35.680><c>-fold</c><00:22:36.000><c> structure.</c>

00:22:38.460 --> 00:22:41.839
It<00:22:38.839><c> works</c><00:22:39.140><c> like</c><00:22:39.440><c> this</c><00:22:39.619><c> as</c><00:22:39.880><c> well.</c>

00:22:43.859 --> 00:22:47.900
As<00:22:44.619><c> we've</c><00:22:44.980><c> seen</c><00:22:45.119><c> with</c><00:22:45.400><c> the</c><00:22:46.059><c> people</c><00:22:46.480><c> walking</c><00:22:46.900><c> around</c><00:22:47.279><c> the</c><00:22:47.500><c> city,</c>

00:22:47.900 --> 00:22:52.960
so<00:22:48.779><c> they</c><00:22:49.720><c> walked</c><00:22:50.319><c> around</c><00:22:50.660><c> once</c><00:22:51.259><c> a</c><00:22:51.640><c> day</c><00:22:51.819><c> for</c><00:22:52.019><c> six</c><00:22:52.299><c> days.</c>

00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:58.859
When<00:22:53.380><c> it</c><00:22:53.500><c> came</c><00:22:53.740><c> to</c><00:22:53.980><c> the</c><00:22:54.119><c> seventh,</c><00:22:54.980><c> the</c><00:22:55.279><c> seventh</c><00:22:55.539><c> contained</c><00:22:56.119><c> the</c><00:22:56.420><c> next</c><00:22:57.000><c> cycle</c><00:22:57.619><c> of</c><00:22:57.980><c> seven.</c>

00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:06.019
When<00:23:02.339><c> we</c><00:23:02.539><c> move</c><00:23:02.759><c> to</c><00:23:03.099><c> Revelation,</c><00:23:04.019><c> the</c><00:23:04.160><c> cycles</c><00:23:04.440><c> have</c><00:23:04.680><c> got</c><00:23:04.900><c> names.</c>

00:23:06.299 --> 00:23:10.519
So<00:23:06.440><c> that's</c><00:23:06.720><c> just</c><00:23:06.900><c> another</c><00:23:07.079><c> way</c><00:23:07.460><c> of</c><00:23:08.220><c> seeing</c><00:23:08.579><c> how</c><00:23:08.880><c> the</c><00:23:09.119><c> cycles</c><00:23:09.460><c> work.</c>

00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:16.579
You<00:23:11.480><c> have</c><00:23:11.740><c> six</c><00:23:12.200><c> seals,</c><00:23:13.039><c> and</c><00:23:13.140><c> the</c><00:23:13.319><c> seventh</c><00:23:13.559><c> seal</c><00:23:14.079><c> contains</c><00:23:15.519><c> all</c>

00:23:16.579 --> 00:23:17.079
the<00:23:16.740><c> trumpets.</c>

00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:20.400
And<00:23:17.880><c> the</c><00:23:18.019><c> seventh</c><00:23:18.339><c> trumpet</c><00:23:19.019><c> contains</c><00:23:19.700><c> all</c><00:23:19.940><c> the</c><00:23:20.079><c> vials.</c>

00:23:20.420 --> 00:23:23.480
The<00:23:20.539><c> seven</c><00:23:20.819><c> vials</c><00:23:21.920><c> contain</c><00:23:22.420><c> all</c><00:23:22.720><c> the</c><00:23:22.839><c> thunders.</c>

00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:28.259
Until<00:23:24.099><c> in</c><00:23:24.339><c> the</c><00:23:24.460><c> end</c><00:23:25.259><c> the</c><00:23:25.599><c> kingdoms</c><00:23:26.039><c> of</c><00:23:26.720><c> this</c><00:23:27.059><c> world</c><00:23:27.279><c> become</c><00:23:27.599><c> the</c><00:23:27.759><c> kingdoms</c><00:23:28.079><c> of</c>

00:23:28.259 --> 00:23:30.279
our<00:23:28.500><c> Lord</c><00:23:28.759><c> and</c><00:23:28.880><c> of</c><00:23:28.980><c> his</c><00:23:29.140><c> Christ,</c>

00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:32.500
and<00:23:30.460><c> they</c><00:23:30.680><c> reign</c><00:23:30.920><c> forever</c><00:23:31.380><c> and</c><00:23:31.480><c> ever.</c>

00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:38.099
So<00:23:34.460><c> there</c><00:23:34.700><c> are</c><00:23:34.799><c> the</c><00:23:34.980><c> different</c><00:23:35.200><c> cycles,</c><00:23:36.500><c> whether</c><00:23:36.700><c> they</c><00:23:36.980><c> be</c><00:23:37.259><c> seven</c><00:23:37.599><c> seals</c><00:23:37.920><c> on</c>

00:23:38.099 --> 00:23:39.180
the<00:23:38.339><c> scroll,</c>

00:23:39.900 --> 00:23:44.539
seven<00:23:40.519><c> trumpets,</c><00:23:41.539><c> or</c><00:23:41.799><c> seven</c><00:23:42.160><c> plagues</c><00:23:42.940><c> poured</c><00:23:43.259><c> out</c><00:23:43.559><c> of</c><00:23:43.779><c> seven</c><00:23:44.099><c> bowls.</c>

00:23:44.539 --> 00:23:46.920
And<00:23:44.759><c> I</c><00:23:44.759><c> can't</c><00:23:45.119><c> draw</c><00:23:45.380><c> seven</c><00:23:45.720><c> thunders,</c><00:23:46.299><c> so</c><00:23:46.460><c> you'll</c><00:23:46.660><c> just</c><00:23:46.799><c> have</c>

00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:48.680
to<00:23:47.079><c> imagine</c><00:23:47.480><c> them.</c>

00:23:50.619 --> 00:23:52.579
That's<00:23:51.259><c> what</c><00:23:51.480><c> happens.</c>

00:23:53.740 --> 00:23:58.980
And<00:23:53.900><c> tip</c><00:23:54.059><c> number</c><00:23:54.460><c> one</c><00:23:54.859><c> was</c><00:23:55.859><c> look</c><00:23:56.500><c> out</c><00:23:56.799><c> for</c><00:23:56.960><c> the</c><00:23:57.160><c> seven</c><00:23:57.480><c>-fold</c><00:23:57.819><c> structure.</c>

00:23:59.019 --> 00:24:00.819
Hold<00:23:59.240><c> it</c><00:23:59.420><c> in</c><00:23:59.539><c> your</c><00:23:59.799><c> mind.</c>

00:24:01.339 --> 00:24:04.740
Realize<00:24:01.980><c> that</c><00:24:02.200><c> wherever</c><00:24:02.579><c> we</c><00:24:02.920><c> are,</c><00:24:03.339><c> we're</c><00:24:03.500><c> moving</c><00:24:03.980><c> forward</c>

00:24:04.740 --> 00:24:06.319
towards<00:24:05.579><c> the</c><00:24:05.900><c> kingdom.</c>

00:24:06.539 --> 00:24:10.819
That's<00:24:06.960><c> the</c><00:24:07.119><c> aim</c><00:24:07.599><c> when</c><00:24:08.700><c> the</c><00:24:08.920><c> kingdoms</c><00:24:09.160><c> of</c><00:24:09.339><c> this</c><00:24:09.640><c> world</c><00:24:09.859><c> are</c><00:24:10.119><c> replaced</c><00:24:10.500><c> by</c>

the<00:24:11.000><c> kingdom</c><00:24:11.220><c> of</c><00:24:11.440><c> God.</c>

00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:20.420
Which<00:24:13.480><c> leads</c><00:24:14.000><c> us</c><00:24:14.359><c> to</c><00:24:14.460><c> tip</c><00:24:14.640><c> number</c><00:24:15.039><c> two,</c><00:24:19.700><c> because</c><00:24:19.819><c> that's</c><00:24:20.220><c> tip</c>

00:24:20.420 --> 00:24:21.420
number<00:24:20.819><c> two.</c>

00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:28.240
There<00:24:22.039><c> are</c><00:24:22.140><c> little</c><00:24:22.500><c> cameos</c><00:24:23.460><c> in</c><00:24:25.180><c> the</c><00:24:25.339><c> book</c><00:24:25.480><c> of</c><00:24:25.680><c> Revelation,</c><00:24:26.859><c> and</c><00:24:26.940><c> they're</c><00:24:27.200><c> cameos</c><00:24:27.920><c> of</c>

00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:29.500
the<00:24:28.500><c> kingdom.</c>

00:24:30.259 --> 00:24:33.599
You<00:24:30.380><c> see,</c><00:24:30.460><c> when</c><00:24:30.619><c> we</c><00:24:30.859><c> tell</c><00:24:31.019><c> a</c><00:24:31.259><c> story,</c><00:24:31.819><c> we</c><00:24:32.359><c> try</c><00:24:32.700><c> to</c><00:24:33.019><c> start</c><00:24:33.259><c> at</c><00:24:33.420><c> the</c>

00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:35.539
beginning<00:24:33.880><c> and</c><00:24:34.180><c> move</c><00:24:34.500><c> through</c><00:24:34.799><c> to</c><00:24:34.980><c> the</c><00:24:35.180><c> end.</c>

00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:37.880
If<00:24:36.039><c> that</c><00:24:36.240><c> was</c><00:24:36.480><c> the</c><00:24:36.599><c> case</c><00:24:36.799><c> in</c><00:24:36.940><c> the</c><00:24:37.039><c> book</c><00:24:37.180><c> of</c><00:24:37.380><c> Revelation,</c>

00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:41.319
we<00:24:38.640><c> would</c><00:24:38.900><c> only</c><00:24:39.279><c> have</c><00:24:39.539><c> information</c><00:24:40.180><c> about</c><00:24:40.460><c> the</c><00:24:40.680><c> kingdom</c><00:24:41.019><c> in</c>

00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:45.059
But<00:24:43.619><c> that's</c><00:24:43.799><c> not</c><00:24:44.119><c> so.</c>

00:24:45.539 --> 00:24:47.720
Revelation<00:24:45.960><c> is</c><00:24:46.240><c> ordered</c><00:24:46.420><c> differently</c><00:24:47.000><c> from</c><00:24:47.259><c> that.</c>

00:24:48.140 --> 00:24:51.720
There<00:24:48.359><c> are</c><00:24:48.519><c> these</c><00:24:48.779><c> little</c><00:24:49.200><c> snapshots,</c><00:24:49.799><c> little</c><00:24:50.160><c> cameos,</c><00:24:50.859><c> little</c><00:24:51.119><c> pictures</c><00:24:51.519><c> of</c>

00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:52.039
the<00:24:51.859><c> kingdom.</c>

00:24:52.180 --> 00:24:54.779
They<00:24:52.339><c> don't</c><00:24:52.519><c> show</c><00:24:52.740><c> everything,</c><00:24:53.440><c> they</c><00:24:53.640><c> just</c><00:24:53.839><c> show</c><00:24:54.000><c> an</c><00:24:54.240><c> aspect</c>

00:24:54.779 --> 00:24:56.220
of<00:24:55.099><c> the</c><00:24:55.279><c> kingdom.</c>

00:24:57.420 --> 00:25:00.220
But<00:24:57.539><c> there's</c><00:24:57.759><c> something</c><00:24:57.980><c> rather</c><00:24:58.440><c> special</c><00:24:59.000><c> about</c><00:24:59.779><c> these</c>

00:25:00.220 --> 00:25:01.779
cameo<00:25:00.759><c> pictures.</c>

00:25:02.420 --> 00:25:05.059
And<00:25:02.900><c> it</c><00:25:03.059><c> works</c><00:25:03.319><c> like</c><00:25:03.660><c> this.</c>

00:25:05.859 --> 00:25:11.119
That<00:25:05.980><c> instead</c><00:25:06.319><c> of</c><00:25:06.440><c> coming</c><00:25:06.720><c> at</c><00:25:06.960><c> the</c><00:25:07.180><c> end,</c><00:25:09.200><c> they</c><00:25:09.420><c> come</c><00:25:09.599><c> at</c><00:25:09.779><c> the</c><00:25:10.000><c> beginning.</c>

00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:16.839
Each<00:25:12.759><c> section</c><00:25:13.240><c> of</c><00:25:13.700><c> the</c><00:25:13.859><c> book</c><00:25:14.099><c> is</c><00:25:14.559><c> introduced</c><00:25:15.519><c> by</c><00:25:16.099><c> a</c><00:25:16.380><c> picture</c>

00:25:16.839 --> 00:25:17.920

00:25:18.220 --> 00:25:23.000
Now,<00:25:18.380><c> the</c><00:25:18.519><c> only</c><00:25:18.680><c> way</c><00:25:18.839><c> I</c><00:25:18.980><c> can</c><00:25:19.319><c> adequately</c><00:25:20.059><c> explain</c><00:25:20.579><c> this</c><00:25:21.079><c> simply</c><00:25:21.539><c> is,</c>

00:25:23.259 --> 00:25:25.480

where<00:25:25.619><c> you</c><00:25:25.680><c> get</c><00:25:25.819><c> lots</c><00:25:26.079><c> of</c><00:25:26.240><c> little</c><00:25:26.380><c> bits</c><00:25:26.559><c> of</c><00:25:26.759><c> plastic</c><00:25:27.180><c> which</c><00:25:27.359><c> you</c><00:25:27.500><c> can</c><00:25:27.680><c> make</c><00:25:27.920><c> up</c>

00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:31.579
You<00:25:29.619><c> buy</c><00:25:29.880><c> it</c><00:25:30.000><c> in</c><00:25:30.079><c> a</c><00:25:30.259><c> cardboard</c><00:25:30.519><c> box.</c>

00:25:39.700 --> 00:25:41.380
You<00:25:39.859><c> then</c><00:25:40.099><c> take</c><00:25:40.259><c> the</c><00:25:40.480><c> cover</c><00:25:40.640><c> off</c><00:25:40.880><c> the</c><00:25:41.000><c> box.</c>

00:31:08.940 --> 00:31:12.559
We<00:31:09.240><c> need</c><00:31:09.519><c> to</c><00:31:09.700><c> see</c><00:31:09.839><c> it</c><00:31:09.980><c> in</c><00:31:10.059><c> the</c><00:31:10.380><c> context</c><00:31:10.859><c> of</c><00:31:11.039><c> the</c><00:31:11.140><c> rest</c><00:31:11.400><c> of</c><00:31:11.619><c> Scripture.</c>

00:31:12.660 --> 00:31:19.000
If<00:31:12.859><c> we</c><00:31:13.079><c> come</c><00:31:13.279><c> across</c><00:31:13.680><c> a</c><00:31:14.019><c> section</c><00:31:14.599><c> or</c><00:31:15.640><c> a</c><00:31:15.859><c> part</c><00:31:16.279><c> or</c><00:31:17.420><c> a</c><00:31:17.799><c> verse</c><00:31:18.279><c> that</c>

00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:27.920
then<00:31:22.440><c> ask</c><00:31:23.000><c> yourself</c><00:31:23.460><c> the</c><00:31:23.640><c> question,</c><00:31:24.799><c> where</c><00:31:25.079><c> is</c><00:31:25.380><c> the</c><00:31:25.619><c> Old</c><00:31:25.880><c> Testament</c><00:31:26.720><c> equivalent</c><00:31:27.559><c> of</c>

this<00:31:28.240><c> verse?</c>

00:31:30.420 --> 00:31:33.039
Where's<00:31:30.720><c> the</c><00:31:30.920><c> Old</c><00:31:31.160><c> Testament</c><00:31:31.619><c> information</c><00:31:32.299><c> that's</c><00:31:32.559><c> going</c><00:31:32.680><c> to</c>

00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:35.359
lead<00:31:33.319><c> me</c><00:31:33.579><c> to</c><00:31:33.720><c> understand</c><00:31:34.119><c> what</c><00:31:34.400><c> this</c><00:31:34.740><c> verse</c><00:31:34.980><c> is</c><00:31:35.180><c> about?</c>

00:31:35.559 --> 00:31:38.500
And<00:31:35.759><c> normally</c><00:31:36.039><c> we</c><00:31:36.220><c> should</c><00:31:36.359><c> be</c><00:31:36.480><c> able</c><00:31:36.619><c> to</c><00:31:36.819><c> find</c><00:31:37.039><c> it.</c>

00:31:39.259 --> 00:31:42.460
So<00:31:39.480><c> we</c><00:31:39.720><c> need</c><00:31:40.039><c> a</c><00:31:40.460><c> bit</c><00:31:40.579><c> of</c><00:31:40.839><c> a</c><00:31:40.960><c> working</c><00:31:41.319><c> knowledge</c><00:31:41.839><c> of</c><00:31:42.019><c> the</c><00:31:42.180><c> rest</c>

00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:47.559
if<00:31:43.500><c> we're</c><00:31:43.740><c> going</c><00:31:43.859><c> to</c><00:31:44.200><c> understand</c><00:31:44.779><c> what</c><00:31:45.059><c> the</c><00:31:45.220><c> book</c><00:31:45.359><c> of</c><00:31:45.559><c> Revelation</c><00:31:46.079><c> is</c><00:31:46.480><c> about.</c>

00:31:48.740 --> 00:31:50.460
Funny<00:31:49.259><c> to</c><00:31:49.480><c> understand</c><00:31:49.900><c> what</c><00:31:50.039><c> it's</c><00:31:50.279><c> about,</c>

00:31:50.500 --> 00:31:52.759
we<00:31:50.619><c> need</c><00:31:50.759><c> a</c><00:31:50.859><c> very</c><00:31:51.200><c> good</c><00:31:51.460><c> working</c><00:31:51.759><c> knowledge</c><00:31:52.079><c> of</c><00:31:52.259><c> the</c><00:31:52.400><c> rest</c><00:31:52.579><c> of</c>

00:31:54.700 --> 00:31:57.700
But<00:31:54.839><c> as</c><00:31:54.960><c> we've</c><00:31:55.160><c> already</c><00:31:55.460><c> seen</c><00:31:56.019><c> by</c><00:31:56.680><c> looking</c><00:31:56.940><c> at</c><00:31:57.140><c> the</c><00:31:57.339><c> incident</c>

00:31:57.700 --> 00:31:59.660
of<00:31:57.900><c> the</c><00:31:58.079><c> taking</c><00:31:58.319><c> of</c><00:31:58.660><c> Jericho,</c>

00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:05.019
we've<00:32:00.440><c> begun</c><00:32:00.940><c> to</c><00:32:01.319><c> get</c><00:32:01.460><c> a</c><00:32:01.779><c> handle</c><00:32:02.079><c> on</c><00:32:02.359><c> the</c><00:32:02.599><c> book</c><00:32:02.920><c> just</c><00:32:03.839><c> by</c><00:32:04.099><c> understanding</c><00:32:04.599><c> that</c>

00:32:05.019 --> 00:32:06.579
one<00:32:05.420><c> incident.</c>

00:32:07.099 --> 00:32:09.259
And<00:32:07.359><c> so</c><00:32:07.599><c> don't</c><00:32:07.859><c> be</c><00:32:08.079><c> faint</c><00:32:08.299><c>-hearted</c><00:32:08.660><c> about</c><00:32:08.980><c> this.</c>

00:32:09.299 --> 00:32:11.339
Don't<00:32:09.559><c> say,</c><00:32:09.980><c> well,</c><00:32:09.980><c> of</c><00:32:10.160><c> course,</c><00:32:10.400><c> my</c><00:32:10.539><c> knowledge</c><00:32:10.779><c> of</c><00:32:11.000><c> the</c><00:32:11.160><c> Old</c>

00:32:11.339 --> 00:32:12.779
Testament<00:32:11.519><c> isn't</c><00:32:11.839><c> sufficient.</c>

00:32:13.660 --> 00:32:17.000
It's<00:32:14.160><c> something</c><00:32:14.500><c> that</c><00:32:14.660><c> we</c><00:32:14.759><c> can</c><00:32:15.039><c> work</c><00:32:15.420><c> our</c><00:32:15.660><c> way</c><00:32:15.880><c> into.</c>

00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:20.660
But<00:32:17.559><c> never</c><00:32:17.799><c> forget</c><00:32:18.380><c> there's</c><00:32:18.940><c> an</c><00:32:19.240><c> important</c><00:32:19.759><c> Old</c><00:32:20.240><c> Testament</c>

00:32:20.660 --> 00:32:21.859
background<00:32:21.279><c> to</c><00:32:21.500><c> the</c><00:32:21.680><c> book.</c>

00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:24.779
So<00:32:22.380><c> that's</c><00:32:22.660><c> tip</c><00:32:22.799><c> number</c><00:32:23.119><c> three.</c>

00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:29.799
Now<00:32:27.859><c> that's</c><00:32:28.180><c> tip</c><00:32:28.279><c> number</c><00:32:28.579><c> four.</c>

00:32:29.940 --> 00:32:34.059
The<00:32:29.980><c> book</c><00:32:30.119><c> of</c><00:32:30.299><c> Revelation</c><00:32:30.680><c> is</c><00:32:30.859><c> a</c><00:32:30.880><c> book</c><00:32:31.099><c> of</c><00:32:31.640><c> contrasts.</c>

00:32:34.380 --> 00:32:36.240
Now<00:32:34.720><c> I've</c><00:32:34.819><c> only</c><00:32:34.940><c> just</c><00:32:35.140><c> focused</c><00:32:35.460><c> on</c><00:32:35.700><c> one</c><00:32:35.980><c> there,</c>

00:32:36.259 --> 00:32:38.259
but<00:32:36.380><c> of</c><00:32:36.559><c> course</c><00:32:36.680><c> there</c><00:32:36.839><c> are</c><00:32:36.880><c> many</c><00:32:37.119><c> other</c><00:32:37.420><c> contrasts</c><00:32:38.099><c> in</c><00:32:38.160><c> the</c>

00:32:38.259 --> 00:32:39.039
book<00:32:38.420><c> of</c><00:32:38.619><c> Revelation.</c>

00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:41.859
The<00:32:39.579><c> two</c><00:32:39.880><c> cities,</c><00:32:40.180><c> we've</c><00:32:40.420><c> met</c><00:32:40.619><c> one</c><00:32:40.859><c> of</c><00:32:40.920><c> them</c><00:32:41.079><c> already.</c>

00:32:42.259 --> 00:32:46.140
One<00:32:42.480><c> city</c><00:32:42.819><c> is</c><00:32:43.059><c> Babylon,</c><00:32:43.660><c> the</c><00:32:43.839><c> other</c><00:32:44.180><c> city</c><00:32:44.740><c> is</c><00:32:45.000><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:50.220
We<00:32:47.819><c> should</c><00:32:47.960><c> talk</c><00:32:48.140><c> a</c><00:32:48.220><c> little</c><00:32:48.400><c> bit</c><00:32:48.500><c> more</c><00:32:48.660><c> about</c><00:32:48.839><c> those</c><00:32:49.059><c> in</c><00:32:49.160><c> a</c><00:32:49.319><c> moment.</c>

00:32:50.299 --> 00:32:52.240
But<00:32:50.440><c> there</c><00:32:50.599><c> are</c><00:32:50.799><c> other</c><00:32:51.119><c> contrasts.</c>

00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:56.380
There's<00:32:52.619><c> a</c><00:32:52.880><c> beast</c><00:32:53.480><c> in</c><00:32:54.059><c> Revelation,</c><00:32:54.619><c> as</c><00:32:54.720><c> we</c><00:32:54.880><c> already</c><00:32:55.240><c> know,</c>

00:32:57.019 --> 00:32:59.779
and<00:32:57.500><c> there</c><00:32:57.599><c> is</c><00:32:57.839><c> something</c><00:32:58.079><c> in</c><00:32:58.319><c> opposition</c><00:32:58.880><c> to</c><00:32:59.119><c> the</c><00:32:59.279><c> beast,</c>

00:33:00.059 --> 00:33:02.119
and<00:33:00.180><c> that's</c><00:33:00.880><c> the</c><00:33:01.140><c> lamb.</c>

00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:05.359
There's<00:33:03.519><c> a</c><00:33:03.720><c> prostitute</c><00:33:04.420><c> in</c><00:33:04.599><c> Revelation,</c>

00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:07.859
thus<00:33:05.680><c> there</c><00:33:05.920><c> are</c><00:33:06.000><c> two</c><00:33:06.180><c> women,</c><00:33:06.559><c> just</c><00:33:06.779><c> as</c><00:33:07.000><c> there</c><00:33:07.160><c> are</c><00:33:07.220><c> two</c><00:33:07.400><c> cities.</c>

00:33:07.859 --> 00:33:13.900
And<00:33:08.559><c> the</c><00:33:08.779><c> prostitute</c><00:33:09.920><c> stands</c><00:33:10.420><c> over</c><00:33:11.000><c> against</c><00:33:11.740><c> the</c><00:33:12.220><c> chaste</c><00:33:12.700><c> bride.</c>

00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:17.519
So<00:33:14.480><c> wherever</c><00:33:14.859><c> we</c><00:33:15.119><c> go,</c><00:33:15.559><c> and</c><00:33:15.759><c> there</c><00:33:16.099><c> are</c><00:33:16.140><c> only</c><00:33:16.460><c> three,</c>

00:33:17.740 --> 00:33:22.000
there<00:33:17.839><c> are</c><00:33:18.180><c> pairs</c><00:33:18.519><c> of</c><00:33:18.940><c> contrasts</c><00:33:20.440><c> in</c><00:33:20.519><c> the</c><00:33:20.700><c> book</c><00:33:20.839><c> of</c><00:33:21.039><c> Revelation.</c>

00:33:22.500 --> 00:33:24.500
And<00:33:22.839><c> you</c><00:33:23.000><c> could</c><00:33:23.180><c> perhaps</c><00:33:23.319><c> just</c><00:33:23.579><c> make</c><00:33:23.720><c> a</c><00:33:23.920><c> note</c><00:33:24.079><c> of</c><00:33:24.259><c> them.</c>

00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:27.400
As<00:33:24.900><c> you</c><00:33:25.140><c> go</c><00:33:25.400><c> through,</c><00:33:25.720><c> reading</c><00:33:25.980><c> the</c><00:33:26.140><c> book</c><00:33:26.279><c> of</c><00:33:26.440><c> Revelation,</c>

00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:31.539
and<00:33:27.819><c> you</c><00:33:27.960><c> come</c><00:33:28.099><c> across</c><00:33:28.400><c> a</c><00:33:28.759><c> new</c><00:33:29.019><c> feature,</c><00:33:29.519><c> say,</c><00:33:30.180><c> what's</c><00:33:30.359><c> the</c><00:33:30.559><c> opposite?</c>

00:33:32.099 --> 00:33:36.400
And<00:33:32.640><c> almost</c><00:33:33.079><c> invariably</c><00:33:33.900><c> you'll</c><00:33:34.440><c> find</c><00:33:34.920><c> an</c><00:33:35.400><c> opposite.</c>

00:33:36.740 --> 00:33:40.559
So<00:33:37.220><c> you've</c><00:33:37.460><c> got</c><00:33:37.559><c> these</c><00:33:37.980><c> pairs</c><00:33:38.619><c> in</c><00:33:39.000><c> opposition</c><00:33:39.519><c> to</c><00:33:39.779><c> each</c><00:33:40.039><c> other</c>

00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:42.440
as<00:33:40.900><c> we</c><00:33:41.059><c> go</c><00:33:41.279><c> through</c><00:33:41.579><c> the</c><00:33:41.680><c> book</c><00:33:41.880><c> of</c><00:33:42.059><c> Revelation.</c>

00:33:42.500 --> 00:33:46.319
Just<00:33:42.680><c> look</c><00:33:42.900><c> out</c><00:33:43.259><c> for</c><00:33:43.579><c> them,</c><00:33:44.299><c> see</c><00:33:44.539><c> if</c><00:33:44.599><c> you</c><00:33:44.740><c> can</c><00:33:44.900><c> see</c><00:33:45.059><c> what's</c><00:33:45.440><c> happening.</c>

00:33:47.279 --> 00:33:48.720
Well,<00:33:47.460><c> just</c><00:33:47.579><c> to</c><00:33:47.740><c> explain</c><00:33:48.079><c> this</c><00:33:48.259><c> a</c><00:33:48.339><c> little</c><00:33:48.420><c> bit</c><00:33:48.559><c> more,</c>

00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:51.759
let's<00:33:49.000><c> just</c><00:33:49.279><c> focus,</c><00:33:49.640><c> shall</c><00:33:49.920><c> we,</c><00:33:50.119><c> on</c><00:33:50.339><c> the</c><00:33:50.539><c> two</c><00:33:50.779><c> cities.</c>

00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:02.019
Well,<00:34:00.039><c> there</c><00:34:00.180><c> they</c><00:34:00.420><c> are,</c><00:34:01.019><c> Babylon</c><00:34:01.240><c> and</c><00:34:01.460><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:34:02.019 --> 00:34:03.779
And<00:34:02.119><c> what</c><00:34:02.240><c> I've</c><00:34:02.480><c> said</c><00:34:02.720><c> on</c><00:34:02.960><c> that</c><00:34:03.400><c> overhead</c>

00:34:03.779 --> 00:34:09.559
is<00:34:04.180><c> that</c><00:34:04.619><c> the</c><00:34:05.599><c> cities</c><00:34:06.180><c> are</c><00:34:06.599><c> both</c><00:34:07.180><c> new</c><00:34:07.680><c> and</c><00:34:08.440><c> old.</c>

00:34:10.179 --> 00:34:11.099
What<00:34:10.320><c> do</c><00:34:10.500><c> I</c><00:34:10.599><c> mean</c><00:34:10.760><c> by</c><00:34:11.000><c> that?</c>

00:34:11.199 --> 00:34:13.599
I<00:34:11.219><c> mean</c><00:34:11.440><c> that</c><00:34:11.619><c> history</c><00:34:11.880><c> explains</c><00:34:12.400><c> the</c><00:34:12.639><c> future.</c>

00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:18.420
This,<00:34:15.800><c> to</c><00:34:16.059><c> the</c><00:34:16.199><c> Apostle</c><00:34:16.599><c> John,</c><00:34:17.300><c> had</c><00:34:17.599><c> long</c><00:34:18.079><c> gone.</c>

00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:20.820
It<00:34:18.599><c> had</c><00:34:18.719><c> been</c><00:34:19.079><c> completely</c><00:34:19.639><c> destroyed.</c>

00:34:21.239 --> 00:34:24.239
In<00:34:21.480><c> fact,</c><00:34:21.699><c> if</c><00:34:21.840><c> we</c><00:34:21.960><c> turn</c><00:34:22.139><c> to</c><00:34:23.139><c> Jeremiah's</c><00:34:23.900><c> prophecy,</c>

00:34:24.460 --> 00:34:27.739
Jeremiah<00:34:24.920><c> said</c><00:34:25.199><c> that</c><00:34:25.460><c> Babylon</c><00:34:25.659><c> was</c><00:34:25.880><c> going</c><00:34:26.019><c> to</c><00:34:26.199><c> be</c><00:34:26.559><c> so</c><00:34:26.960><c> destroyed</c>

00:34:27.739 --> 00:34:30.679
that<00:34:28.679><c> the</c><00:34:29.019><c> site</c><00:34:29.219><c> of</c><00:34:29.460><c> Babylon</c><00:34:29.699><c> would</c><00:34:29.900><c> become</c><00:34:30.099><c> a</c><00:34:30.380><c> desert.</c>

00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:33.320
It<00:34:30.780><c> would</c><00:34:30.940><c> be</c><00:34:31.159><c> a</c><00:34:31.300><c> haunt</c><00:34:31.519><c> of</c><00:34:31.860><c> wild</c><00:34:32.099><c> animals.</c>

00:34:33.380 --> 00:34:34.719
There<00:34:33.460><c> would</c><00:34:33.559><c> be</c><00:34:33.800><c> nothing</c><00:34:34.059><c> there.</c>

00:34:35.179 --> 00:34:36.800
Babylon<00:34:35.380><c> would</c><00:34:35.699><c> never</c><00:34:35.960><c> be</c><00:34:36.300><c> rebuilt.</c>

00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:40.460
And<00:34:37.219><c> despite</c><00:34:38.019><c> what</c><00:34:38.659><c> Saddam</c><00:34:38.980><c> Hussein</c><00:34:39.340><c> has</c><00:34:39.639><c> tried</c><00:34:39.820><c> to</c><00:34:40.039><c> do</c><00:34:40.179><c> in</c>

00:34:40.460 --> 00:34:40.960
recent<00:34:40.679><c> years,</c>

00:34:40.980 --> 00:34:42.579
that's<00:34:41.280><c> still</c><00:34:41.679><c> true.</c>

00:34:42.739 --> 00:34:45.519
Babylon<00:34:42.980><c> has</c><00:34:43.239><c> never</c><00:34:43.519><c> been</c><00:34:43.820><c> rebuilt</c><00:34:44.219><c> since</c><00:34:44.539><c> it</c><00:34:44.719><c> was</c><00:34:44.900><c> destroyed.</c>

00:34:45.980 --> 00:34:48.320
The<00:34:46.119><c> word</c><00:34:46.360><c> of</c><00:34:46.579><c> God</c><00:34:46.739><c> has</c><00:34:47.000><c> proved</c><00:34:47.300><c> true.</c>

00:34:49.019 --> 00:34:53.940
So<00:34:49.340><c> the</c><00:34:49.519><c> history</c><00:34:49.940><c> of</c><00:34:50.300><c> old</c><00:34:50.619><c> Babylon</c><00:34:51.280><c> provides</c><00:34:53.000><c> the</c><00:34:53.340><c> information</c>

00:34:53.940 --> 00:34:56.639
which<00:34:54.260><c> gives</c><00:34:54.519><c> us</c><00:34:54.980><c> the</c><00:34:55.300><c> key</c><00:34:55.599><c> to</c><00:34:55.840><c> understanding</c>

00:34:56.639 --> 00:35:00.559
what<00:34:57.400><c> I've</c><00:34:58.019><c> called,</c><00:34:58.599><c> in</c><00:34:58.599><c> inverted</c><00:34:58.920><c> commas,</c><00:34:59.780><c> new</c><00:35:00.039><c> Babylon</c>

00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:02.559
in<00:35:01.579><c> the</c><00:35:01.760><c> book</c><00:35:01.900><c> of</c><00:35:02.099><c> Revelation.</c>

00:35:02.679 --> 00:35:04.820
And<00:35:02.940><c> there's</c><00:35:03.300><c> the</c><00:35:03.480><c> destiny</c><00:35:04.000><c> of</c><00:35:04.239><c> new</c><00:35:04.460><c> Babylon,</c>

00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:11.119
A<00:35:08.940><c> mighty</c><00:35:09.239><c> angel</c><00:35:09.500><c> took</c><00:35:09.659><c> up</c><00:35:09.840><c> a</c><00:35:10.000><c> stone</c><00:35:10.119><c> like</c><00:35:10.320><c> a</c><00:35:10.500><c> great</c><00:35:10.679><c> millstone</c>

00:35:11.119 --> 00:35:13.239
and<00:35:11.340><c> cast</c><00:35:11.599><c> it</c><00:35:11.800><c> into</c><00:35:11.980><c> the</c><00:35:12.239><c> sea,</c><00:35:12.860><c> saying,</c>

00:35:13.619 --> 00:35:16.699
Thus<00:35:13.880><c> with</c><00:35:14.179><c> violence</c><00:35:14.519><c> shall</c><00:35:14.760><c> that</c><00:35:15.059><c> great</c><00:35:15.480><c> city</c><00:35:15.880><c> Babylon</c><00:35:16.340><c> be</c>

00:35:16.699 --> 00:35:17.780
thrown<00:35:17.039><c> down,</c>

00:35:18.039 --> 00:35:20.000

00:35:22.980 --> 00:35:26.300
So<00:35:23.719><c> the</c><00:35:23.920><c> destiny</c><00:35:24.420><c> of</c><00:35:24.599><c> the</c><00:35:24.780><c> Babylon</c><00:35:24.980><c> in</c><00:35:25.179><c> Revelation</c>

00:35:26.559 --> 00:35:29.480
is<00:35:27.039><c> patterned</c><00:35:27.519><c> on</c><00:35:27.699><c> the</c><00:35:27.880><c> destiny</c><00:35:28.639><c> of</c><00:35:28.960><c> the</c><00:35:29.179><c> Babylon</c>

00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:38.599
so<00:35:36.860><c> we</c><00:35:37.039><c> know</c><00:35:37.239><c> that</c><00:35:37.460><c> the</c><00:35:37.679><c> Babylon,</c>

Whatever<00:36:05.639><c> men</c><00:36:05.880><c> have</c><00:36:06.099><c> tried</c><00:36:06.280><c> to</c><00:36:06.539><c> do</c><00:36:06.659><c> with</c><00:36:06.960><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:11.360
the<00:36:08.599><c> principles</c><00:36:09.219><c> of</c><00:36:09.500><c> Jerusalem</c><00:36:10.039><c> could</c><00:36:10.380><c> not</c><00:36:10.639><c> be</c><00:36:10.900><c> destroyed.</c>

00:36:11.380 --> 00:36:13.400
They<00:36:11.579><c> will</c><00:36:11.840><c> not</c><00:36:12.059><c> be</c><00:36:12.239><c> destroyed.</c>

00:36:14.739 --> 00:36:18.739
Because<00:36:15.300><c> God's</c><00:36:15.860><c> hope,</c><00:36:16.880><c> God's</c><00:36:17.400><c> trust,</c><00:36:17.780><c> God's</c><00:36:18.260><c> purpose</c>

00:36:18.739 --> 00:36:21.340
is<00:36:18.960><c> all</c><00:36:19.340><c> centered</c><00:36:19.780><c> in</c><00:36:20.079><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:36:22.420 --> 00:36:23.940
And<00:36:22.599><c> so</c><00:36:22.719><c> you</c><00:36:22.920><c> see</c><00:36:23.099><c> the</c><00:36:23.199><c> difference</c><00:36:23.619><c> now</c>

00:36:23.940 --> 00:36:27.519
between<00:36:24.260><c> the</c><00:36:24.440><c> destiny</c><00:36:24.840><c> of</c><00:36:25.099><c> Babylon,</c><00:36:26.320><c> new</c><00:36:26.539><c> Babylon,</c>

00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:30.340
and<00:36:27.980><c> the</c><00:36:28.139><c> destiny</c><00:36:28.480><c> of</c><00:36:28.719><c> Jerusalem,</c><00:36:29.420><c> new</c><00:36:29.579><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:31.619
couldn't<00:36:30.739><c> be</c><00:36:30.920><c> more</c><00:36:31.139><c> different.</c>

00:36:32.119 --> 00:36:34.659
So<00:36:32.300><c> Revelation</c><00:36:32.639><c> 21</c><00:36:33.179><c> tells</c><00:36:33.400><c> us</c><00:36:33.579><c> about</c><00:36:33.800><c> new</c><00:36:34.039><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:36:35.059 --> 00:36:37.579
but<00:36:35.119><c> Revelation</c><00:36:35.579><c> 18</c><00:36:35.940><c> tells</c><00:36:36.139><c> us</c><00:36:36.320><c> about</c><00:36:36.500><c> new</c><00:36:36.760><c> Babylon.</c>

00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:39.760
I<00:36:37.800><c> saw</c><00:36:38.019><c> a</c><00:36:38.179><c> new</c><00:36:38.320><c> heaven</c><00:36:38.559><c> and</c><00:36:38.699><c> a</c><00:36:38.820><c> new</c><00:36:38.960><c> earth,</c>

00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:42.019
the<00:36:39.960><c> first</c><00:36:40.280><c> heaven</c><00:36:40.440><c> and</c><00:36:40.619><c> the</c><00:36:40.780><c> first</c><00:36:41.039><c> earth</c><00:36:41.239><c> were</c><00:36:41.460><c> passed</c><00:36:41.739><c> away,</c>

00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:43.159
there<00:36:42.159><c> was</c><00:36:42.340><c> no</c><00:36:42.579><c> more</c><00:36:42.860><c> sea.</c>

00:36:43.619 --> 00:36:47.440
I,<00:36:44.019><c> John,</c><00:36:44.619><c> saw</c><00:36:44.960><c> the</c><00:36:45.260><c> holy</c><00:36:45.539><c> city,</c><00:36:46.420><c> new</c><00:36:46.579><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:49.800
coming<00:36:48.480><c> down</c><00:36:48.800><c> from</c><00:36:48.960><c> God</c><00:36:49.260><c> out</c><00:36:49.460><c> of</c><00:36:49.639><c> heaven,</c>

00:36:49.860 --> 00:36:52.739
prepared<00:36:50.139><c> as</c><00:36:50.360><c> a</c><00:36:50.500><c> bride</c><00:36:50.780><c> adorned</c><00:36:51.159><c> for</c><00:36:51.360><c> her</c><00:36:51.519><c> husband.</c>

00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:55.739
And<00:36:54.500><c> it's</c><00:36:54.639><c> interesting,</c><00:36:54.940><c> we</c><00:36:55.059><c> just</c><00:36:55.320><c> thought</c><00:36:55.440><c> about</c>

00:36:55.739 --> 00:36:57.440
three<00:36:56.039><c> pairs</c><00:36:56.320><c> of</c><00:36:56.559><c> contrast,</c><00:36:57.019><c> didn't</c><00:36:57.219><c> we?</c>

00:36:57.500 --> 00:36:59.900
The<00:36:57.699><c> cities,</c><00:36:58.239><c> Babylon</c><00:36:58.400><c> against</c><00:36:58.760><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:37:01.039 --> 00:37:03.239
the<00:37:01.260><c> beast</c><00:37:01.619><c> against</c><00:37:02.059><c> the</c><00:37:02.400><c> lamb,</c>

00:37:03.820 --> 00:37:06.260
the<00:37:04.059><c> prostitute</c><00:37:04.539><c> against</c><00:37:04.900><c> the</c><00:37:05.219><c> bride,</c>

00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:09.119
and<00:37:06.940><c> we'll</c><00:37:07.239><c> see</c><00:37:07.440><c> that</c><00:37:07.679><c> they're</c><00:37:07.980><c> all</c><00:37:08.219><c> connected,</c><00:37:08.719><c> aren't</c><00:37:08.880><c> they?</c>

00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:13.860
Babylon,<00:37:10.760><c> the</c><00:37:10.920><c> beast,</c><00:37:11.860><c> the</c><00:37:12.019><c> prostitute</c><00:37:12.599><c> are</c><00:37:12.960><c> connected,</c>

00:37:14.619 --> 00:37:19.019
Jerusalem,<00:37:16.039><c> the</c><00:37:16.239><c> lamb,</c><00:37:16.920><c> and</c><00:37:17.099><c> the</c><00:37:17.320><c> bride</c><00:37:17.800><c> are</c><00:37:18.340><c> all</c><00:37:18.559><c> connected,</c>

00:37:19.380 --> 00:37:20.519
as<00:37:19.639><c> we</c><00:37:19.820><c> would</c><00:37:20.019><c> expect.</c>

00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:24.679
So<00:37:20.739><c> as</c><00:37:20.860><c> we</c><00:37:21.059><c> build</c><00:37:21.260><c> up</c><00:37:21.420><c> these</c><00:37:21.719><c> two</c><00:37:22.019><c> columns</c><00:37:22.460><c> of</c><00:37:22.960><c> contrasts,</c>

00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:27.739
we're<00:37:24.920><c> finding</c><00:37:25.300><c> that</c><00:37:25.480><c> there</c><00:37:25.619><c> are</c><00:37:25.960><c> similarities</c><00:37:26.619><c> on</c><00:37:27.059><c> that</c><00:37:27.340><c> side</c>

00:37:27.739 --> 00:37:29.960
and<00:37:28.199><c> there</c><00:37:28.280><c> are</c><00:37:28.679><c> similarities</c><00:37:29.179><c> on</c><00:37:29.400><c> that</c><00:37:29.679><c> side,</c>

00:37:30.059 --> 00:37:33.420
there's<00:37:30.159><c> an</c><00:37:30.440><c> association</c><00:37:31.139><c> between</c><00:37:32.239><c> them</c><00:37:32.480><c> all.</c>

00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:36.739
So<00:37:34.559><c> it's</c><00:37:34.840><c> a</c><00:37:34.900><c> book</c><00:37:35.019><c> of</c><00:37:35.320><c> contrasts,</c>

00:37:36.820 --> 00:37:40.960
and<00:37:37.380><c> that</c><00:37:38.179><c> was</c><00:37:38.460><c> our</c><00:37:38.699><c> tip</c><00:37:39.199><c> number</c><00:37:39.659><c> four.</c>

00:37:48.760 --> 00:37:52.039
Well,<00:37:49.260><c> let's</c><00:37:49.480><c> focus</c><00:37:49.800><c> in</c><00:37:49.960><c> a</c><00:37:50.059><c> little</c><00:37:50.219><c> bit</c><00:37:50.400><c> more,</c><00:37:50.820><c> shall</c><00:37:50.820><c> we?</c>

00:37:52.539 --> 00:37:55.639
Now<00:37:52.760><c> we</c><00:37:52.980><c> come</c><00:37:53.260><c> to</c><00:37:54.280><c> tip</c><00:37:54.659><c> number</c><00:37:55.019><c> five,</c>

00:37:55.659 --> 00:37:57.980
and<00:37:56.039><c> we've</c><00:37:56.300><c> already</c><00:37:56.619><c> had</c><00:37:56.860><c> an</c><00:37:57.079><c> introduction</c><00:37:57.480><c> to</c><00:37:57.719><c> this</c>

00:37:57.980 --> 00:38:02.139
because<00:37:58.980><c> there</c><00:38:00.559><c> is</c><00:38:00.739><c> a</c><00:38:00.900><c> beast</c><00:38:01.280><c> in</c><00:38:01.639><c> Revelation,</c>

00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:05.639
and<00:38:02.559><c> the</c><00:38:02.679><c> beast</c><00:38:03.000><c> is</c><00:38:03.239><c> going</c><00:38:03.480><c> to</c><00:38:04.480><c> alter,</c>

00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:07.539
he's<00:38:06.820><c> going</c><00:38:06.940><c> to</c><00:38:07.260><c> develop,</c>

00:38:07.659 --> 00:38:09.380
something's<00:38:08.039><c> going</c><00:38:08.139><c> to</c><00:38:08.320><c> happen</c><00:38:08.619><c> to</c><00:38:08.820><c> this</c><00:38:09.059><c> beast</c>

00:38:09.380 --> 00:38:12.139
as<00:38:09.559><c> we</c><00:38:09.780><c> move</c><00:38:09.980><c> through</c><00:38:10.500><c> the</c><00:38:10.820><c> book</c><00:38:10.940><c> of</c><00:38:11.139><c> Revelation.</c>

00:38:14.820 --> 00:38:18.079
Brother<00:38:15.340><c> Des</c><00:38:15.699><c> introduced</c><00:38:16.559><c> us</c><00:38:17.119><c> earlier</c>

00:38:19.719 --> 00:38:23.960
to<00:38:20.239><c> Daniel</c><00:38:20.739><c> chapters</c><00:38:21.320><c> two</c><00:38:21.659><c> and</c><00:38:21.880><c> seven.</c>

00:38:29.460 --> 00:38:31.440
So<00:38:29.980><c> I've</c><00:38:30.199><c> got</c><00:38:30.300><c> two</c><00:38:30.619><c> slides</c><00:38:30.860><c> up</c><00:38:31.079><c> at</c><00:38:31.219><c> once,</c>

00:38:31.539 --> 00:38:33.619
if<00:38:31.579><c> you</c><00:38:31.679><c> don't</c><00:38:31.860><c> mind</c><00:38:32.000><c> one</c><00:38:32.260><c> being</c><00:38:32.440><c> back</c><00:38:32.699><c> to</c><00:38:32.860><c> front.</c>

00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:40.599
We<00:38:37.599><c> know</c><00:38:37.780><c> that</c><00:38:37.980><c> the</c><00:38:38.119><c> four</c><00:38:38.320><c> beasts</c><00:38:38.900><c> of</c><00:38:39.539><c> Daniel</c><00:38:39.800><c> chapter</c><00:38:40.119><c> seven</c>

00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:45.019
relate<00:38:41.159><c> to</c><00:38:41.679><c> the</c><00:38:43.019><c> metals</c><00:38:43.519><c> in</c><00:38:44.280><c> Daniel's</c><00:38:44.739><c> image,</c>

00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:48.019
but<00:38:45.239><c> what</c><00:38:45.679><c> Daniel</c><00:38:46.059><c> chapter</c><00:38:46.440><c> seven</c><00:38:46.880><c> does,</c>

00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:50.000
and<00:38:48.599><c> this</c><00:38:48.760><c> is</c><00:38:48.860><c> the</c><00:38:48.960><c> most</c><00:38:49.280><c> important</c><00:38:49.679><c> thing,</c>

00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:52.500
is<00:38:50.320><c> that</c><00:38:50.699><c> if</c><00:38:50.840><c> we're</c><00:38:51.000><c> not</c><00:38:51.300><c> careful,</c>

00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:55.900
we<00:38:53.500><c> can</c><00:38:53.659><c> look</c><00:38:53.840><c> at</c><00:38:54.019><c> the</c><00:38:54.280><c> image</c><00:38:54.739><c> of</c><00:38:54.980><c> Daniel</c><00:38:55.420><c> two</c>

00:38:55.900 --> 00:38:57.599
and<00:38:56.119><c> say,</c><00:38:56.440><c> yes,</c><00:38:56.539><c> we</c><00:38:56.719><c> know</c><00:38:56.820><c> there</c><00:38:56.960><c> was</c><00:38:57.079><c> a</c><00:38:57.239><c> gold</c><00:38:57.460><c> head,</c>

00:38:57.739 --> 00:38:58.940
which<00:38:57.800><c> was</c><00:38:58.039><c> Babylon,</c>

00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:01.559

00:39:28.940 --> 00:39:31.260
The<00:39:29.199><c> legs</c><00:39:29.500><c> of</c><00:39:29.840><c> iron</c><00:39:30.380><c> extend,</c>

00:39:38.360 --> 00:39:43.599
So<00:39:39.000><c> the</c><00:39:39.320><c> fourth</c><00:39:39.679><c> beast</c><00:39:40.539><c> that</c><00:39:42.000><c> Daniel</c><00:39:42.380><c> saw</c>

00:39:43.599 --> 00:39:46.340
lasted<00:39:44.800><c> when</c><00:39:45.659><c> it</c><00:39:45.659><c> was</c><00:39:45.880><c> there</c>

00:39:46.340 --> 00:39:49.440

00:39:49.539 --> 00:39:51.920
because<00:39:49.840><c> he</c><00:39:50.059><c> lived</c><00:39:50.260><c> during</c><00:39:50.559><c> the</c><00:39:50.679><c> time</c><00:39:50.840><c> of</c><00:39:50.980><c> the</c><00:39:51.039><c> Roman</c><00:39:51.320><c> Empire,</c>

00:39:52.260 --> 00:39:55.159
and<00:39:52.460><c> it</c><00:39:52.780><c> lasts</c><00:39:53.199><c> right</c><00:39:53.639><c> up</c><00:39:53.840><c> until</c><00:39:54.139><c> the</c><00:39:54.280><c> time</c><00:39:54.599><c> when,</c>

00:39:55.619 --> 00:39:57.340
to<00:39:55.940><c> use</c><00:39:56.159><c> Daniel</c><00:39:56.500><c> two</c><00:39:56.820><c> language,</c>

00:39:57.519 --> 00:39:59.059
the<00:39:57.659><c> stone</c><00:39:58.039><c> comes,</c>

00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:01.199

00:40:01.380 --> 00:40:05.460
the<00:40:01.500><c> ancient</c><00:40:01.820><c> of</c><00:40:02.119><c> days</c><00:40:02.659><c> sits</c><00:40:03.380><c> and</c><00:40:03.800><c> judgment</c><00:40:04.260><c> is</c><00:40:04.579><c> brought.</c>

00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:06.199
In<00:40:05.820><c> other</c><00:40:06.039><c> words,</c>

00:40:06.199 --> 00:40:08.860
that's<00:40:06.320><c> the</c><00:40:06.340><c> return</c><00:40:06.860><c> of</c><00:40:07.059><c> the</c><00:40:07.159><c> Lord</c><00:40:07.380><c> Jesus</c><00:40:07.760><c> Christ.</c>

00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:10.760
So<00:40:09.619><c> that's</c><00:40:09.960><c> one</c><00:40:10.139><c> important</c><00:40:10.519><c> thing,</c>

00:40:10.860 --> 00:40:12.340

00:40:12.619 --> 00:40:14.760
it's<00:40:12.719><c> not</c><00:40:12.860><c> five,</c><00:40:13.380><c> it's</c><00:40:13.619><c> four,</c>

00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:17.940
and<00:40:15.179><c> it's</c><00:40:15.519><c> the</c><00:40:15.639><c> great</c><00:40:16.420><c> fourth</c><00:40:16.800><c> beast.</c>

00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:20.699
And<00:40:20.280><c> really,</c>

00:40:21.059 --> 00:40:22.840
we<00:40:21.179><c> shouldn't</c><00:40:21.340><c> have</c><00:40:21.559><c> drawn</c><00:40:21.739><c> the</c><00:40:21.960><c> fourth</c><00:40:22.139><c> beast,</c><00:40:22.500><c> should</c><00:40:22.579><c> we?</c>

00:40:22.940 --> 00:40:25.280
Because<00:40:23.400><c> it</c><00:40:23.679><c> was</c><00:40:23.880><c> impossible</c><00:40:24.340><c> to</c><00:40:24.679><c> describe</c><00:40:25.000><c> it.</c>

00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:26.619
It<00:40:25.559><c> was</c><00:40:25.559><c> impossible</c><00:40:25.900><c> to</c><00:40:26.159><c> describe</c><00:40:26.460><c> it,</c>

00:40:26.619 --> 00:40:28.800
and<00:40:26.760><c> it</c><00:40:26.800><c> was</c><00:40:26.900><c> impossible</c><00:40:27.260><c> to</c><00:40:27.519><c> draw</c><00:40:27.760><c> it.</c>

00:40:29.139 --> 00:40:30.980
It<00:40:29.619><c> was</c><00:40:29.800><c> a</c><00:40:29.940><c> nightmare.</c>

00:40:31.800 --> 00:40:34.099

00:40:43.260 --> 00:40:46.199
it<00:40:43.440><c> had</c><00:40:43.820><c> ten</c><00:40:44.739><c> horns.</c>

00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:49.900
Amongst<00:40:48.280><c> them</c><00:40:48.380><c> a</c><00:40:48.480><c> little</c><00:40:48.800><c> horn,</c>

00:40:54.980 --> 00:40:58.079
So<00:40:55.280><c> when</c><00:40:55.440><c> we</c><00:40:55.699><c> move</c><00:40:56.199><c> into</c><00:40:56.539><c> the</c><00:40:56.679><c> book</c><00:40:56.820><c> of</c><00:40:57.000><c> Revelation,</c>

00:40:58.260 --> 00:41:00.699
that's<00:40:58.699><c> the</c><00:40:58.880><c> information</c><00:40:59.380><c> which</c><00:40:59.619><c> we're</c><00:40:59.820><c> going</c><00:40:59.920><c> to</c><00:41:00.119><c> take</c><00:41:00.260><c> with</c><00:41:00.500><c> us.</c>

00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:02.739
It's<00:41:00.960><c> this</c><00:41:01.260><c> beast</c><00:41:01.539><c> which</c><00:41:01.760><c> was</c><00:41:02.039><c> there</c>

00:41:02.739 --> 00:41:04.619

00:41:04.719 --> 00:41:06.760
It's<00:41:05.119><c> the</c><00:41:05.320><c> development</c><00:41:05.780><c> of</c><00:41:06.059><c> that</c><00:41:06.320><c> beast</c>

Daniel's<00:41:31.980><c> fourth</c><00:41:32.179><c> beast</c><00:41:32.360><c> had</c><00:41:32.519><c> got</c><00:41:32.699><c> ten</c><00:41:32.960><c> horns.</c>

00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:10.739
The<00:43:05.579><c> morphed</c><00:43:06.300><c> beast</c><00:43:06.800><c> has</c><00:43:07.780><c> got</c><00:43:08.099><c> seven</c><00:43:08.380><c> heads</c><00:43:08.840><c> and</c><00:43:09.219><c> ten</c><00:43:09.519><c> horns.</c>

And<00:43:16.099><c> it's</c><00:43:16.199><c> so</c><00:43:16.400><c> obvious,</c><00:43:16.800><c> isn't</c><00:43:16.900><c> it?</c>

00:43:18.139 --> 00:43:20.679
That's<00:43:18.639><c> the</c><00:43:18.780><c> beast</c><00:43:18.980><c> that</c><00:43:19.139><c> we</c><00:43:19.340><c> see</c><00:43:19.480><c> in</c><00:43:19.639><c> Revelation.</c>

00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:37.039

00:44:41.179 --> 00:44:43.880
It<00:44:41.619><c> spoke</c><00:44:42.079><c> like</c><00:44:43.300><c> a</c><00:44:43.539><c> dragon.</c>

00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:48.079

00:44:52.780 --> 00:44:55.579
So<00:44:52.940><c> there</c><00:44:53.039><c> are</c><00:44:53.139><c> now</c><00:44:53.300><c> two</c><00:44:53.559><c> things</c><00:44:53.960><c> which</c><00:44:54.400><c> characterize</c><00:44:54.920><c> the</c><00:44:55.199><c> beast.</c>

00:45:20.139 --> 00:45:23.260

00:45:38.739 --> 00:45:40.059
It's<00:45:38.960><c> the</c><00:45:39.139><c> image.</c>

00:45:41.000 --> 00:45:44.559

00:45:44.559 --> 00:45:48.079
Forget<00:45:44.920><c> the</c><00:45:45.139><c> substance,</c><00:45:46.000><c> it's</c><00:45:46.139><c> the</c><00:45:46.380><c> image</c><00:45:46.739><c> that's</c><00:45:47.019><c> being</c><00:45:47.300><c> presented</c><00:45:47.780><c> all</c>

00:45:57.880 --> 00:46:00.480
A<00:45:58.099><c> master</c><00:45:58.599><c> of</c><00:45:58.860><c> public</c><00:45:59.159><c> relations.</c>

00:46:02.519 --> 00:46:03.579
Speaking.

00:46:03.780 --> 00:46:05.539
Always<00:46:04.420><c> speaking.</c>

00:46:06.360 --> 00:46:09.679
And<00:46:06.579><c> when</c><00:46:06.760><c> you</c><00:46:07.639><c> analyze</c><00:46:08.280><c> what</c><00:46:08.539><c> the</c><00:46:08.739><c> mouth</c><00:46:09.079><c> is</c><00:46:09.380><c> speaking,</c>

00:46:09.840 --> 00:46:13.099
it's<00:46:10.159><c> always</c><00:46:10.639><c> speaking</c><00:46:11.179><c> against</c><00:46:12.059><c> God.</c>

00:46:13.739 --> 00:46:17.679
So<00:46:14.260><c> on</c><00:46:14.400><c> the</c><00:46:14.519><c> one</c><00:46:14.719><c> hand,</c><00:46:14.880><c> you've</c><00:46:14.980><c> got</c><00:46:15.099><c> an</c><00:46:15.360><c> image</c><00:46:15.619><c> which</c><00:46:15.800><c> is</c><00:46:16.139><c> acceptable</c><00:46:16.500><c> to</c><00:46:16.780><c> man,</c>

00:46:17.860 --> 00:46:21.159
and<00:46:18.000><c> a</c><00:46:18.280><c> message</c><00:46:18.699><c> which</c><00:46:18.940><c> is</c><00:46:19.199><c> contrary</c><00:46:19.500><c> to</c><00:46:19.699><c> the</c><00:46:19.840><c> things</c><00:46:20.079><c> of</c><00:46:20.340><c> God.</c>

00:46:21.719 --> 00:46:23.960
And<00:46:21.960><c> it's</c><00:46:22.320><c> a</c><00:46:22.480><c> devilish</c><00:46:23.039><c> brew,</c>

00:46:24.139 --> 00:46:25.780
when<00:46:24.260><c> you</c><00:46:24.440><c> bring</c><00:46:24.599><c> those</c><00:46:24.900><c> two</c><00:46:25.119><c> things</c><00:46:25.380><c> together.</c>

It's<00:46:27.880><c> a</c><00:46:28.019><c> devilish</c><00:46:28.460><c> brew.</c>

00:46:30.699 --> 00:46:32.519
So,<00:46:31.099><c> the</c><00:46:31.199><c> beast</c><00:46:31.420><c> develops,</c>

00:46:32.900 --> 00:46:36.500

00:46:54.400 --> 00:46:56.300
The<00:46:54.599><c> Babylonish</c><00:46:55.179><c> garment</c><00:46:55.619><c> is</c><00:46:55.920><c> there,</c>

the<00:46:56.619><c> woman</c><00:46:56.820><c> arrayed</c><00:46:57.239><c> in</c><00:46:57.420><c> purple</c><00:46:57.820><c> and</c><00:46:58.159><c> scarlet</c><00:46:58.539><c> color.</c>

00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:00.719
On<00:46:59.559><c> her</c><00:46:59.860><c> forehead</c><00:47:00.219><c> is</c><00:47:00.480><c> written,</c>

00:47:04.900 --> 00:47:05.980
So<00:47:05.159><c> we've</c><00:47:05.260><c> been</c><00:47:05.440><c> prepared</c><00:47:05.780><c> for</c><00:47:05.980><c> all</c><00:47:05.980><c> of</c><00:47:05.980><c> this.</c>

00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:13.440
And<00:47:09.880><c> it's</c><00:47:10.059><c> now</c><00:47:10.480><c> taking</c><00:47:10.960><c> place</c><00:47:11.480><c> in</c><00:47:11.699><c> our</c><00:47:12.099><c> lifetime,</c>

00:47:13.960 --> 00:47:16.480
in<00:47:14.079><c> the</c><00:47:14.340><c> circumstances</c><00:47:14.800><c> in</c><00:47:15.039><c> which</c><00:47:15.199><c> we</c><00:47:15.500><c> live,</c>

00:47:16.739 --> 00:47:19.139
and<00:47:16.920><c> it's</c><00:47:17.199><c> happening</c><00:47:17.659><c> today.</c>

00:47:19.800 --> 00:47:22.579
And<00:47:20.039><c> it's</c><00:47:20.219><c> that</c><00:47:20.460><c> beast</c><00:47:20.980><c> and</c><00:47:21.900><c> that</c><00:47:22.119><c> woman</c>

00:47:22.579 --> 00:47:24.920
that<00:47:23.480><c> have</c><00:47:23.599><c> got</c><00:47:23.699><c> to</c><00:47:23.840><c> be</c><00:47:24.000><c> taken</c><00:47:24.179><c> out</c><00:47:24.440><c> of</c><00:47:24.559><c> the</c><00:47:24.699><c> way</c>

00:47:24.920 --> 00:47:27.599
before<00:47:25.199><c> the</c><00:47:25.440><c> Kingdom</c><00:47:25.699><c> of</c><00:47:25.900><c> God</c><00:47:26.119><c> can</c><00:47:26.340><c> be</c><00:47:26.539><c> established.</c>

00:47:28.119 --> 00:47:30.159
So,<00:47:29.000><c> as</c><00:47:29.199><c> we</c><00:47:29.380><c> read</c><00:47:29.539><c> Revelation,</c>

00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:33.239
watch<00:47:30.619><c> out</c><00:47:30.900><c> for</c><00:47:31.099><c> the</c><00:47:31.380><c> development</c><00:47:31.880><c> of</c><00:47:32.219><c> the</c><00:47:32.420><c> beast.</c>

00:47:33.659 --> 00:47:35.179
That's<00:47:34.179><c> one</c><00:47:34.519><c> side.</c>

00:47:35.179 --> 00:47:38.179
That's<00:47:36.019><c> one</c><00:47:36.320><c> string</c><00:47:36.579><c> in</c><00:47:36.760><c> the</c><00:47:36.900><c> picture.</c>

00:47:40.539 --> 00:47:43.679
And<00:47:40.739><c> just</c><00:47:40.960><c> as</c><00:47:41.059><c> we</c><00:47:41.239><c> saw</c><00:47:41.380><c> there</c><00:47:41.539><c> were</c><00:47:41.860><c> contrasts,</c>

00:47:44.360 --> 00:47:45.360
so<00:47:44.519><c> we</c><00:47:44.639><c> must</c><00:47:44.840><c> also,</c>

00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:48.000
while<00:47:45.699><c> we're</c><00:47:45.880><c> looking</c><00:47:46.039><c> at</c><00:47:46.219><c> the</c><00:47:46.400><c> development</c><00:47:46.659><c> of</c><00:47:46.880><c> the</c><00:47:47.079><c> beast,</c>

00:47:49.559 --> 00:47:53.619
recognize<00:47:50.119><c> that</c><00:47:50.440><c> there</c><00:47:50.619><c> is</c><00:47:50.900><c> another</c><00:47:51.420><c> group.</c>

00:47:55.800 --> 00:47:57.739
There<00:47:56.039><c> are</c><00:47:56.380><c> witnesses.</c>

00:47:58.800 --> 00:48:00.519
But<00:47:59.099><c> most</c><00:47:59.420><c> importantly</c><00:47:59.820><c> of</c><00:48:00.099><c> all,</c>

00:48:00.519 --> 00:48:05.500
there's<00:48:00.920><c> a</c><00:48:01.079><c> group,</c><00:48:02.260><c> and</c><00:48:02.260><c> they</c><00:48:02.480><c> are</c><00:48:03.239><c> faithful</c><00:48:03.960><c> witnesses.</c>

00:48:06.500 --> 00:48:09.480
And<00:48:06.760><c> we</c><00:48:06.840><c> always</c><00:48:07.320><c> find</c><00:48:07.659><c> them</c><00:48:07.840><c> in</c><00:48:08.179><c> conflict</c><00:48:08.639><c> with</c><00:48:08.880><c> the</c><00:48:09.059><c> beast.</c>

00:48:09.780 --> 00:48:10.840
We've<00:48:09.980><c> got</c><00:48:10.079><c> to,</c><00:48:10.239><c> if</c><00:48:10.360><c> you</c><00:48:10.380><c> think</c><00:48:10.559><c> about</c><00:48:10.739><c> it,</c>

00:48:10.840 --> 00:48:12.179
because<00:48:10.960><c> we've</c><00:48:11.159><c> got</c><00:48:11.199><c> this</c><00:48:11.440><c> contrast,</c>

00:48:12.619 --> 00:48:14.340
which<00:48:12.760><c> is</c><00:48:12.980><c> always</c><00:48:13.320><c> there.</c>

00:48:14.900 --> 00:48:17.340
And<00:48:15.079><c> so,</c><00:48:15.480><c> in</c><00:48:15.639><c> the</c><00:48:15.780><c> conflict</c><00:48:16.099><c> with</c><00:48:16.300><c> the</c><00:48:16.440><c> beast,</c>

00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:23.139
we<00:48:19.460><c> find</c><00:48:19.840><c> that</c><00:48:20.440><c> this</c><00:48:20.719><c> group</c><00:48:20.880><c> of</c><00:48:21.099><c> people</c><00:48:21.360><c> are</c><00:48:21.820><c> called</c><00:48:21.960><c> different</c><00:48:22.420><c> things,</c>

00:48:23.219 --> 00:48:24.699
and<00:48:23.480><c> there</c><00:48:23.619><c> are</c><00:48:23.619><c> only</c><00:48:23.840><c> some</c><00:48:24.059><c> of</c><00:48:24.199><c> them</c><00:48:24.300><c> there.</c>

00:48:25.039 --> 00:48:26.159
They're<00:48:25.219><c> sometimes</c><00:48:25.539><c> called</c><00:48:25.760><c> witnesses,</c>

00:48:26.320 --> 00:48:27.940
they're<00:48:26.500><c> sometimes</c><00:48:26.840><c> called</c><00:48:27.099><c> the</c><00:48:27.320><c> seed</c><00:48:27.500><c> of</c><00:48:27.639><c> the</c><00:48:27.760><c> woman,</c>

00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:29.539
the<00:48:28.179><c> woman's</c><00:48:28.599><c> seed.</c>

00:48:29.840 --> 00:48:32.099
Sometimes<00:48:30.400><c> they're</c><00:48:30.719><c> called</c><00:48:30.739><c> the</c><00:48:31.000><c> saints.</c>

00:48:32.699 --> 00:48:34.739
Quite<00:48:32.960><c> often</c><00:48:33.260><c> they're</c><00:48:33.599><c> described</c><00:48:33.880><c> by</c><00:48:34.119><c> that</c><00:48:34.400><c> phrase,</c>

00:48:34.960 --> 00:48:37.840

00:48:38.559 --> 00:48:40.840
It's<00:48:39.019><c> a</c><00:48:39.099><c> lovely</c><00:48:39.400><c> phrase</c><00:48:39.760><c> when</c><00:48:39.920><c> you</c><00:48:40.059><c> start</c><00:48:40.280><c> to</c><00:48:40.440><c> think</c><00:48:40.579><c> about</c><00:48:40.760><c> it,</c>

00:48:40.940 --> 00:48:42.579
those<00:48:41.059><c> holding</c><00:48:41.400><c> the</c><00:48:41.639><c> testimony</c><00:48:41.960><c> of</c><00:48:42.079><c> Jesus.</c>

00:48:42.940 --> 00:48:45.320
Look<00:48:43.079><c> at</c><00:48:43.219><c> Revelation</c><00:48:43.559><c> 1</c><00:48:43.860><c> and</c><00:48:44.019><c> verse</c><00:48:44.280><c> 2,</c>

00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:48.079
because<00:48:45.679><c> John</c><00:48:46.079><c> bare</c><00:48:46.440><c> record</c><00:48:46.900><c> of</c><00:48:47.079><c> the</c><00:48:47.300><c> word</c><00:48:47.519><c> of</c><00:48:47.780><c> God</c>

00:48:53.059 --> 00:48:55.980

00:49:00.079 --> 00:49:03.940
The<00:49:00.360><c> dragon</c><00:49:00.659><c> making</c><00:49:01.059><c> war</c><00:49:01.699><c> with</c><00:49:02.659><c> the</c><00:49:02.860><c> remnant</c><00:49:03.139><c> of</c><00:49:03.300><c> the</c><00:49:03.440><c> woman</c><00:49:03.699><c> seed</c>

00:49:09.780 --> 00:49:12.059
So,<00:49:10.239><c> watch</c><00:49:10.519><c> out</c><00:49:10.699><c> for</c><00:49:10.880><c> that</c><00:49:11.179><c> group,</c>

00:49:22.059 --> 00:49:24.059
And<00:49:22.659><c> there's</c><00:49:22.800><c> one</c><00:49:22.980><c> last</c><00:49:23.340><c> tip.</c>

00:49:34.659 --> 00:49:36.880
Well,<00:49:34.760><c> we've</c><00:49:34.940><c> had</c><00:49:35.099><c> sevens,</c>

00:49:40.260 --> 00:49:41.559
now<00:49:40.500><c> we</c><00:49:40.659><c> come</c><00:49:40.760><c> on</c><00:49:40.920><c> to</c><00:49:41.119><c> threes.</c>

00:49:41.739 --> 00:49:45.260
There<00:49:42.019><c> are</c><00:49:42.719><c> three</c><00:49:43.519><c> great</c><00:49:44.179><c> earthquakes</c>

Three<00:49:49.199><c> great</c><00:49:49.619><c> earthquakes.</c>

00:49:51.460 --> 00:49:55.039
And<00:49:51.800><c> those</c><00:49:52.280><c> three</c><00:49:52.579><c> earthquakes</c><00:49:53.300><c> punctuate</c>

00:49:57.280 --> 00:50:00.039
So,<00:49:57.440><c> remember</c><00:49:57.679><c> we</c><00:49:57.900><c> started</c><00:49:58.219><c> with</c><00:49:58.420><c> a</c><00:49:58.559><c> sevenfold</c><00:49:58.940><c> structure.</c>

You<00:50:00.219><c> really</c><00:50:00.500><c> begin</c><00:50:00.860><c> with</c><00:50:01.139><c> the</c><00:50:01.639><c> seven</c><00:50:01.980><c> sealed</c><00:50:02.360><c> scroll,</c>

It<00:52:57.679><c> changed</c><00:52:57.960><c> again</c><00:52:58.360><c> when</c><00:52:58.559><c> the</c><00:52:58.800><c> second</c><00:52:59.039><c> earthquake</c><00:52:59.460><c> came,</c>

00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:02.539
and<00:53:00.780><c> that's</c><00:53:00.980><c> when</c><00:53:01.179><c> that</c><00:53:01.440><c> order</c><00:53:01.699><c> was</c><00:53:01.960><c> swept</c><00:53:02.179><c> aside,</c>

00:53:02.539 --> 00:53:03.739
because<00:53:02.820><c> men</c><00:53:03.059><c> and</c><00:53:03.179><c> women</c><00:53:03.400><c> said,</c>

00:53:04.119 --> 00:53:05.679
why<00:53:04.260><c> should</c><00:53:04.460><c> we</c><00:53:04.639><c> allow</c><00:53:04.880><c> power</c>

00:53:05.679 --> 00:53:08.780
to<00:53:06.460><c> be</c><00:53:06.699><c> vested</c><00:53:07.019><c> in</c><00:53:07.260><c> the</c><00:53:07.440><c> hands</c><00:53:07.679><c> of</c><00:53:07.920><c> just</c><00:53:08.199><c> a</c><00:53:08.460><c> few?</c>

00:53:09.059 --> 00:53:10.760
We<00:53:09.320><c> want</c><00:53:09.579><c> power</c><00:53:09.980><c> for</c><00:53:10.300><c> ourselves.</c>

00:53:10.880 --> 00:53:14.119
And<00:53:11.019><c> so</c><00:53:11.300><c> the</c><00:53:11.559><c> great</c><00:53:11.860><c> revolutionary</c><00:53:12.820><c> movement</c><00:53:13.440><c> started</c>

00:53:14.119 --> 00:53:16.159
at<00:53:14.960><c> the</c><00:53:15.019><c> end</c><00:53:15.139><c> of</c><00:53:15.320><c> the</c><00:53:15.460><c> 18th</c><00:53:15.880><c> century</c>

00:53:16.159 --> 00:53:19.659
and<00:53:16.380><c> then</c><00:53:16.760><c> swept</c><00:53:16.960><c> all</c><00:53:17.400><c> the</c><00:53:17.480><c> way</c><00:53:17.659><c> through</c><00:53:18.139><c> that</c><00:53:18.599><c> area,</c>

00:53:19.780 --> 00:53:22.500

00:53:22.940 --> 00:53:24.320
right<00:53:23.159><c> up</c><00:53:23.340><c> into</c><00:53:23.519><c> our</c><00:53:23.739><c> own</c><00:53:24.019><c> century,</c>

00:53:24.380 --> 00:53:26.280
the<00:53:24.500><c> Russian</c><00:53:24.820><c> Revolution</c><00:53:25.280><c> of</c><00:53:25.480><c> 1917.</c>

00:53:26.639 --> 00:53:27.579
It<00:53:26.679><c> took</c><00:53:26.760><c> all</c><00:53:26.980><c> of</c><00:53:27.119><c> that</c><00:53:27.300><c> time.</c>

00:53:27.579 --> 00:53:29.579
It<00:53:27.679><c> was</c><00:53:27.920><c> a</c><00:53:28.079><c> long</c><00:53:28.340><c> earthquake</c>

00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:32.139
until<00:53:30.920><c> in</c><00:53:31.079><c> the</c><00:53:31.260><c> end,</c>

00:53:32.460 --> 00:53:35.139
power<00:53:32.460><c> was</c><00:53:33.559><c> by</c><00:53:34.440><c> the</c><00:53:34.619><c> people,</c>

00:53:38.519 --> 00:53:39.940
And<00:53:38.679><c> that's</c><00:53:38.800><c> what</c><00:53:38.920><c> we</c><00:53:39.119><c> live</c><00:53:39.219><c> under</c><00:53:39.500><c> today.</c>

00:53:40.360 --> 00:53:42.699

00:53:42.699 --> 00:53:45.960

00:53:46.480 --> 00:53:48.119
And<00:53:46.840><c> there</c><00:53:46.940><c> will</c><00:53:47.079><c> be</c><00:53:47.239><c> a</c><00:53:47.500><c> time</c><00:53:47.739><c> then</c>
