because<00:18:23.200><c> that's</c><00:18:23.519><c> exactly</c><00:18:23.759><c> what</c><00:18:23.900><c> they</c><00:18:24.119><c> did.</c>

00:18:24.259 --> 00:18:28.240

Say<00:22:09.160><c> unto</c><00:22:09.519><c> him,</c><00:22:10.059><c> Thus</c><00:22:10.279><c> saith</c><00:22:10.440><c> the</c><00:22:10.619><c> Lord</c><00:22:10.779><c> God,</c><00:22:11.079><c> I'm</c><00:22:11.240><c> against</c><00:22:11.680><c> thee,</c><00:22:12.200><c> O</c>

00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:16.039
Gog,<00:22:13.259><c> the</c><00:22:13.559><c> prince</c><00:22:13.900><c> of</c><00:22:14.059><c> Rosh,</c><00:22:15.140><c> Meshach,</c><00:22:15.519><c> and</c><00:22:15.759><c> Tubal.</c>

00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:20.380
Now,<00:22:16.460><c> did</c><00:22:16.559><c> you</c><00:22:16.660><c> notice</c><00:22:17.019><c> up</c><00:22:17.440><c> here,</c><00:22:17.859><c> I've</c><00:22:18.240><c> said</c><00:22:18.380><c> when</c><00:22:18.599><c> this</c><00:22:18.960><c> prophecy</c><00:22:19.200><c> was</c><00:22:19.480><c> given.</c>

00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:27.759
So<00:22:21.660><c> how</c><00:22:22.259><c> long</c><00:22:22.759><c> after</c><00:22:23.380><c> the</c><00:22:23.799><c> invasion</c><00:22:24.359><c> of</c><00:22:24.740><c> the</c><00:22:25.000><c> Scythians</c><00:22:25.680><c> in</c><00:22:26.619><c> the</c><00:22:26.940><c> time</c><00:22:27.339><c> of</c>

00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:34.339
Josiah<00:22:28.779><c> was</c><00:22:30.160><c> this</c><00:22:30.640><c> prophecy</c><00:22:30.980><c> now</c><00:22:31.400><c> given</c><00:22:31.880><c> in</c><00:22:32.799><c> Ezekiel</c><00:22:33.259><c> 38?</c>

00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:42.619
Well,<00:22:34.920><c> we've</c><00:22:35.200><c> gone</c><00:22:35.339><c> from</c><00:22:35.640><c> BC</c><00:22:36.299><c> 630</c><00:22:37.740><c> down</c><00:22:39.480><c> to</c><00:22:39.819><c> BC</c><00:22:40.500><c> 585.</c>

00:22:43.740 --> 00:22:48.960
So<00:22:44.220><c> that's</c><00:22:44.700><c> only</c><00:22:46.119><c> 45</c><00:22:47.220><c> years</c><00:22:47.980><c> later.</c>

00:22:49.660 --> 00:22:54.359
It's<00:22:49.819><c> only</c><00:22:50.059><c> 45</c><00:22:50.759><c> years</c><00:22:51.440><c> after</c><00:22:52.359><c> the</c><00:22:52.720><c> Scythian</c><00:22:53.059><c> invasion,</c><00:22:54.259><c> and</c>

00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:56.839
Ezekiel<00:22:54.839><c> the</c><00:22:54.880><c> prophet</c><00:22:55.200><c> stands</c><00:22:55.480><c> up</c><00:22:55.680><c> and</c><00:22:55.839><c> says</c><00:22:55.960><c> he's</c><00:22:56.259><c> coming</c><00:22:56.500><c> again.</c>

00:22:56.980 --> 00:22:59.079
He's<00:22:57.160><c> going</c><00:22:57.279><c> to</c><00:22:57.380><c> come</c><00:22:57.480><c> again.</c><00:22:58.059><c> The</c><00:22:58.099><c> Scythians</c><00:22:58.539><c> are</c><00:22:58.779><c> on</c><00:22:58.940><c> their</c>

00:22:59.079 --> 00:22:59.599
way<00:22:59.240><c> again.</c>

00:22:59.819 --> 00:23:02.380
And<00:22:59.980><c> that's</c><00:23:00.220><c> the</c><00:23:00.380><c> promise,</c><00:23:00.619><c> you</c><00:23:00.779><c> see,</c><00:23:01.000><c> the</c><00:23:01.140><c> warning</c><00:23:01.420><c> of</c><00:23:01.559><c> Ezekiel</c><00:23:01.940><c> 38,</c>

00:23:02.660 --> 00:23:04.660
is<00:23:02.779><c> that</c><00:23:02.920><c> the</c><00:23:03.160><c> Scythians,</c><00:23:03.680><c> led</c><00:23:03.859><c> by</c><00:23:04.319><c> Gog,</c>

00:23:04.819 --> 00:23:07.680
were<00:23:05.059><c> going</c><00:23:05.240><c> to</c><00:23:05.420><c> mount</c><00:23:05.579><c> yet</c><00:23:05.880><c> another</c><00:23:06.200><c> invasion</c><00:23:06.779><c> of</c><00:23:07.079><c> the</c><00:23:07.200><c> Middle</c><00:23:07.420><c> East.</c>

00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:12.180
In<00:23:08.099><c> fact,</c><00:23:08.579><c> the</c><00:23:08.680><c> older</c><00:23:09.099><c> members</c><00:23:09.680><c> of</c><00:23:09.920><c> Israel</c><00:23:10.480><c> who</c><00:23:11.000><c> probably</c><00:23:11.400><c> remembered</c><00:23:11.960><c> the</c>

00:23:12.180 --> 00:23:14.019
invasion<00:23:12.640><c> in</c><00:23:12.900><c> the</c><00:23:13.000><c> time</c><00:23:13.240><c> of</c><00:23:13.420><c> Josiah</c>

00:23:14.019 --> 00:23:16.960
would<00:23:14.319><c> have</c><00:23:14.440><c> been</c><00:23:14.599><c> terrified</c><00:23:15.140><c> by</c><00:23:15.400><c> this</c><00:23:15.660><c> prophecy</c><00:23:15.960><c> that</c><00:23:16.220><c> Ezekiel</c><00:23:16.559><c> gave</c>

00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:20.460
because<00:23:17.480><c> they</c><00:23:17.859><c> remembered</c><00:23:18.359><c> when</c><00:23:19.039><c> the</c><00:23:19.299><c> Scythians</c><00:23:19.740><c> had</c><00:23:20.180><c> come</c>

00:23:20.460 --> 00:23:21.299
in<00:23:20.700><c> the</c><00:23:20.920><c> past.</c>

00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:25.259
And<00:23:21.720><c> they</c><00:23:21.920><c> no</c><00:23:22.000><c> doubt</c><00:23:22.299><c> recalled</c><00:23:22.720><c> the</c><00:23:23.279><c> brutality</c><00:23:23.799><c> of</c><00:23:24.000><c> that</c><00:23:24.240><c> nation.</c>

00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:33.180
So<00:23:27.039><c> Ezekiel</c><00:23:27.460><c> said</c><00:23:27.740><c> just</c><00:23:28.119><c> 45</c><00:23:28.599><c> years</c><00:23:28.900><c> later,</c><00:23:31.259><c> they're</c><00:23:31.400><c> coming</c><00:23:31.579><c> again.</c>

00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:36.759
Gog's<00:23:34.180><c> about</c><00:23:34.579><c> to</c><00:23:34.799><c> march</c><00:23:35.119><c> again</c><00:23:35.700><c> into</c><00:23:36.140><c> the</c><00:23:36.259><c> Middle</c><00:23:36.500><c> East.</c>

00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:38.140
So<00:23:36.880><c> they</c><00:23:36.940><c> would</c><00:23:37.140><c> have</c><00:23:37.220><c> known</c><00:23:37.339><c> exactly</c><00:23:37.720><c> what</c><00:23:37.880><c> he</c><00:23:38.000><c> meant.</c>

00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:40.680
It<00:23:38.259><c> was</c><00:23:38.460><c> the</c><00:23:38.640><c> leader</c><00:23:38.799><c> of</c><00:23:39.019><c> the</c><00:23:39.119><c> Scythians</c><00:23:40.000><c> that</c><00:23:40.279><c> laid</c><00:23:40.400><c> to</c><00:23:40.539><c> the</c>

north<00:23:40.839><c> of</c><00:23:41.059><c> the</c><00:23:41.160><c> Caucasus</c><00:23:41.619><c> Mountains.</c>

00:23:42.420 --> 00:23:44.220
They<00:23:42.480><c> knew</c><00:23:42.599><c> exactly</c><00:23:43.000><c> what</c><00:23:43.180><c> that</c><00:23:43.440><c> meant,</c><00:23:43.700><c> you</c><00:23:43.980><c> see.</c>

00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:47.940
There<00:23:44.720><c> was</c><00:23:44.940><c> an</c><00:23:45.299><c> historical</c><00:23:46.000><c> background</c><00:23:46.720><c> to</c><00:23:47.000><c> the</c><00:23:47.420><c> prophecy</c><00:23:47.740><c> of</c>

00:23:47.940 --> 00:23:48.740
Ezekiel<00:23:48.380><c> 38.</c>

00:23:48.779 --> 00:23:51.880
This<00:23:48.960><c> didn't</c><00:23:49.160><c> just</c><00:23:49.319><c> come</c><00:23:49.480><c> out</c><00:23:49.640><c> of</c><00:23:49.720><c> the</c><00:23:49.880><c> blue,</c><00:23:50.920><c> you</c><00:23:51.220><c> see.</c>

00:23:52.339 --> 00:23:56.400
You<00:23:52.480><c> see,</c><00:23:52.640><c> that</c><00:23:52.759><c> word</c><00:23:53.079><c> Magog</c><00:23:53.539><c> up</c><00:23:53.759><c> there,</c><00:23:55.039><c> let</c><00:23:55.380><c> me</c><00:23:55.500><c> just</c><00:23:55.759><c> explain</c><00:23:56.140><c> that</c>

00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:57.640
as<00:23:56.640><c> well.</c>

00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:03.319
The<00:23:59.079><c> historian</c><00:23:59.839><c> Josephus</c><00:24:00.680><c> says</c><00:24:01.019><c> that</c><00:24:01.779><c> Magog</c><00:24:02.299><c> founded</c><00:24:02.880><c> those</c>

00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:15.339
but<00:24:09.400><c> who</c><00:24:09.599><c> are</c><00:24:09.740><c> by</c><00:24:09.900><c> the</c><00:24:10.079><c> Greeks</c><00:24:10.359><c> called,</c><00:24:11.359><c> why</c><00:24:11.579><c> surprise</c><00:24:12.000><c> surprise,</c><00:24:13.960><c> the</c><00:24:14.119><c> Scythians.</c>

00:24:15.980 --> 00:24:19.519

Now<00:27:17.339><c> you</c><00:27:17.440><c> see</c><00:27:17.539><c> that</c><00:27:17.779><c> word</c><00:27:18.000><c> latter</c><00:27:18.339><c> years</c><00:27:18.700><c> or</c><00:27:19.099><c> latter</c><00:27:19.420><c> days,</c>

00:27:20.279 --> 00:27:22.359
that's<00:27:20.579><c> a</c><00:27:20.660><c> very</c><00:27:20.880><c> simple</c><00:27:21.220><c> expression</c><00:27:21.779><c> in</c><00:27:22.039><c> the</c><00:27:22.200><c> Bible,</c>

00:27:22.380 --> 00:27:25.480
which<00:27:22.579><c> simply</c><00:27:22.880><c> means</c><00:27:23.240><c> it</c><00:27:23.640><c> certainly</c><00:27:23.880><c> didn't</c><00:27:24.119><c> relate</c><00:27:24.400><c> to</c><00:27:24.599><c> Ezekiel's</c><00:27:25.099><c> own</c><00:27:25.279><c> time.</c>

00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:28.279
It<00:27:25.640><c> relates</c><00:27:26.059><c> to</c><00:27:26.259><c> the</c><00:27:26.500><c> time</c><00:27:26.799><c> of</c><00:27:27.140><c> the</c><00:27:27.299><c> end,</c>

00:27:28.539 --> 00:27:31.119
to<00:27:28.680><c> the</c><00:27:28.859><c> time</c><00:27:29.059><c> of</c><00:27:29.240><c> the</c><00:27:29.380><c> end</c><00:27:29.660><c> when</c><00:27:29.880><c> Bible</c><00:27:30.299><c> prophecy</c><00:27:30.680><c> is</c><00:27:30.920><c> about</c>

00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:34.579
to<00:27:31.299><c> come</c><00:27:31.480><c> to</c><00:27:31.720><c> its</c><00:27:32.220><c> explosive</c><00:27:33.220><c> fulfillment.</c>

00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:37.759
So<00:27:35.019><c> hidden</c><00:27:35.240><c> even</c><00:27:35.819><c> in</c><00:27:36.079><c> Ezekiel</c><00:27:36.440><c> 38</c><00:27:36.900><c> was</c><00:27:37.119><c> a</c><00:27:37.299><c> suggestion</c><00:27:37.579><c> that</c>

00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:39.720
this<00:27:38.000><c> prophecy</c><00:27:38.259><c> wasn't</c><00:27:38.579><c> for</c><00:27:38.779><c> Ezekiel's</c><00:27:39.220><c> own</c><00:27:39.440><c> time,</c>

00:27:39.799 --> 00:27:42.240

00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:45.160
He<00:27:42.920><c> said</c><00:27:43.079><c> they're</c><00:27:43.380><c> coming</c><00:27:43.559><c> but</c><00:27:43.779><c> they</c><00:27:44.000><c> never</c><00:27:44.240><c> did</c><00:27:44.500><c> and</c><00:27:44.960><c> they</c>

00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:46.720
won't<00:27:45.400><c> come</c><00:27:45.660><c> till</c><00:27:45.900><c> the</c><00:27:46.119><c> latter</c><00:27:46.339><c> days.</c>

00:27:46.940 --> 00:27:49.440
Mind<00:27:47.180><c> you</c><00:27:47.299><c> when</c><00:27:47.420><c> they</c><00:27:47.619><c> do</c><00:27:47.920><c> come</c><00:27:48.160><c> they'll</c><00:27:48.660><c> look</c><00:27:48.799><c> suspiciously</c>

00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:51.400
like<00:27:49.660><c> Scythians</c><00:27:50.099><c> because</c><00:27:50.480><c> see</c><00:27:50.799><c> verse</c><00:27:51.019><c> 4,</c>

00:27:51.579 --> 00:27:53.819
I'll<00:27:51.880><c> turn</c><00:27:52.079><c> thee</c><00:27:52.299><c> back</c><00:27:52.440><c> and</c><00:27:52.619><c> put</c><00:27:52.759><c> hooks</c><00:27:53.000><c> into</c><00:27:53.200><c> thy</c><00:27:53.440><c> jaws,</c>

00:27:53.819 --> 00:27:56.119
I'll<00:27:54.299><c> bring</c><00:27:54.400><c> thee</c><00:27:54.680><c> forth</c><00:27:54.980><c> and</c><00:27:55.279><c> all</c><00:27:55.460><c> thine</c><00:27:55.640><c> army,</c>

00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:05.119
The<00:28:01.740><c> horsemen,</c><00:28:02.619><c> the</c><00:28:02.740><c> famous</c><00:28:03.279><c> horses</c><00:28:03.819><c> of</c><00:28:04.059><c> the</c><00:28:04.640><c> Scythians.</c>

00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:07.960
Again<00:28:05.539><c> verse</c><00:28:05.799><c> 15,</c><00:28:06.579><c> thou</c><00:28:06.740><c> shalt</c><00:28:06.920><c> come</c><00:28:07.160><c> from</c><00:28:07.319><c> my</c><00:28:07.500><c> place</c><00:28:07.740><c> out</c><00:28:07.880><c> of</c>

the<00:28:08.140><c> north</c><00:28:08.339><c> parts,</c>

00:28:08.700 --> 00:28:10.579
thou<00:28:08.819><c> and</c><00:28:08.980><c> many</c><00:28:09.240><c> people</c><00:28:09.460><c> with</c><00:28:09.660><c> thee,</c><00:28:09.759><c> all</c><00:28:09.980><c> of</c><00:28:10.079><c> them</c><00:28:10.180><c> riding</c>

a<00:28:12.319><c> great</c><00:28:12.519><c> company</c><00:28:13.019><c> and</c><00:28:13.440><c> a</c><00:28:13.559><c> mighty</c><00:28:13.779><c> army.</c>

00:28:14.420 --> 00:28:16.980
Well<00:28:14.619><c> I've</c><00:28:14.880><c> no</c><00:28:15.039><c> doubt</c><00:28:15.240><c> that</c><00:28:15.400><c> if</c><00:28:15.740><c> the</c><00:28:15.880><c> latter</c><00:28:16.140><c> day</c><00:28:16.480><c> Scythians</c>

00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:21.539
they<00:28:19.599><c> probably</c><00:28:20.000><c> wouldn't</c><00:28:20.380><c> use</c><00:28:20.819><c> horses.</c>

00:28:21.539 --> 00:28:24.880
But<00:28:22.359><c> horses</c><00:28:22.819><c> in</c><00:28:23.019><c> Ezekiel's</c><00:28:23.720><c> day,</c><00:28:24.220><c> covered</c><00:28:24.460><c> in</c><00:28:24.740><c> armour,</c>

00:28:24.980 --> 00:28:27.279
would<00:28:25.059><c> be</c><00:28:25.240><c> a</c><00:28:25.359><c> pretty</c><00:28:25.559><c> good</c><00:28:25.779><c> description</c><00:28:26.240><c> for</c><00:28:26.440><c> a</c><00:28:26.579><c> latter</c><00:28:26.740><c> day</c>

00:28:29.740 --> 00:28:33.380
So<00:28:30.200><c> however</c><00:28:30.519><c> it's</c><00:28:30.900><c> fulfilled,</c><00:28:32.140><c> they're</c><00:28:32.339><c> going</c><00:28:32.460><c> to</c><00:28:32.559><c> come</c><00:28:32.859><c> forth</c><00:28:33.140><c> with</c>

00:28:41.980 --> 00:28:44.460
Well<00:28:42.140><c> you</c><00:28:42.299><c> see</c><00:28:42.380><c> what</c><00:28:42.539><c> verse</c><00:28:42.720><c> 15</c><00:28:43.200><c> says,</c>

00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:05.660
And<00:29:02.660><c> I</c><00:29:02.819><c> think</c><00:29:02.960><c> that</c><00:29:03.079><c> if</c><00:29:03.180><c> we</c><00:29:03.259><c> were</c><00:29:03.359><c> to</c><00:29:03.500><c> say</c><00:29:03.619><c> what</c><00:29:03.920><c> geographically</c><00:29:04.700><c> is</c><00:29:05.119><c> remotely</c>

00:29:07.460 --> 00:29:10.059
we'd<00:29:07.720><c> say</c><00:29:07.799><c> well</c><00:29:08.160><c> the</c><00:29:08.440><c> territory</c><00:29:08.759><c> that</c><00:29:09.000><c> lies</c><00:29:09.200><c> well</c><00:29:09.500><c> beyond</c><00:29:09.819><c> the</c>

Caucasus<00:29:10.539><c> Mountains,</c>

00:29:10.940 --> 00:29:14.160
which<00:29:11.319><c> takes</c><00:29:11.660><c> us</c><00:29:11.880><c> straight</c><00:29:12.140><c> back</c><00:29:12.319><c> into</c><00:29:12.500><c> Russia</c><00:29:12.759><c> again</c><00:29:13.160><c> you</c><00:29:13.359><c> see,</c>

00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:17.859
the<00:29:14.339><c> latter</c><00:29:14.539><c> day</c><00:29:15.059><c> Scythian</c><00:29:15.680><c> of</c><00:29:16.099><c> the</c><00:29:16.319><c> time</c><00:29:16.519><c> of</c><00:29:16.700><c> the</c><00:29:16.839><c> end.</c>

00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:21.019
So<00:29:18.839><c> what</c><00:29:19.019><c> we've</c><00:29:19.220><c> got</c><00:29:19.319><c> is</c><00:29:19.460><c> a</c><00:29:19.619><c> Bible</c><00:29:19.859><c> prophecy</c><00:29:20.259><c> that</c><00:29:20.579><c> says</c><00:29:20.799><c> that</c>

00:29:30.420 --> 00:29:34.059
just<00:29:30.660><c> like</c><00:29:30.880><c> the</c><00:29:31.079><c> Scythians</c><00:29:31.559><c> invaded</c><00:29:32.279><c> in</c><00:29:32.619><c> Old</c><00:29:33.039><c> Testament</c><00:29:33.519><c> times,</c>

they're<00:29:34.539><c> going</c><00:29:34.640><c> to</c><00:29:34.819><c> come</c><00:29:35.059><c> into</c><00:29:35.440><c> the</c><00:29:35.559><c> Middle</c><00:29:35.779><c> East</c><00:29:36.019><c> again.</c>

00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:39.240
Oh<00:29:36.660><c> and</c><00:29:36.720><c> just</c><00:29:36.940><c> one</c><00:29:37.140><c> more</c><00:29:37.420><c> thing</c><00:29:37.619><c> before</c><00:29:37.819><c> we</c><00:29:38.019><c> move</c><00:29:38.180><c> off</c><00:29:38.359><c> Ezekiel</c><00:29:38.779><c> 38,</c>

00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:41.839
can<00:29:39.579><c> I</c><00:29:39.680><c> just</c><00:29:39.980><c> show</c><00:29:40.059><c> you</c><00:29:40.200><c> the</c><00:29:40.400><c> nations</c><00:29:40.740><c> that</c><00:29:40.960><c> are</c><00:29:41.079><c> mentioned</c><00:29:41.420><c> in</c>

00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:43.019
this<00:29:42.059><c> particular</c><00:29:42.579><c> passage?</c>

00:29:43.339 --> 00:29:44.960
There's<00:29:43.480><c> a</c><00:29:43.579><c> whole</c><00:29:43.759><c> string</c><00:29:43.920><c> of</c><00:29:44.079><c> them</c><00:29:44.180><c> actually,</c>

00:29:45.339 --> 00:29:48.779
there's<00:29:45.460><c> a</c><00:29:45.539><c> whole</c><00:29:45.759><c> string</c><00:29:45.960><c> of</c><00:29:46.940><c> nations</c><00:29:47.420><c> that</c><00:29:47.720><c> are</c><00:29:47.980><c> with</c><00:29:48.299><c> Gogh</c>

00:29:48.779 --> 00:29:51.940
and<00:29:49.119><c> some</c><00:29:49.400><c> that</c><00:29:49.660><c> are</c><00:29:49.900><c> in</c><00:29:50.039><c> fact</c><00:29:50.220><c> opposed</c><00:29:50.700><c> to</c><00:29:50.940><c> Gogh.</c>

00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:53.839
Now<00:29:52.440><c> we're</c><00:29:52.519><c> not</c><00:29:52.660><c> going</c><00:29:52.799><c> to</c><00:29:52.940><c> refer</c><00:29:53.140><c> to</c><00:29:53.279><c> all</c><00:29:53.480><c> of</c><00:29:53.640><c> those,</c>

00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:56.240
but<00:29:54.200><c> can</c><00:29:54.420><c> I</c><00:29:54.559><c> just</c><00:29:54.740><c> draw</c><00:29:54.859><c> your</c><00:29:55.039><c> attention</c><00:29:55.359><c> to</c><00:29:55.559><c> just</c><00:29:55.759><c> the</c><00:29:55.940><c> very</c>

00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:57.960
first<00:29:57.339><c> power</c>

00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:02.579
that<00:29:58.640><c> seemed</c><00:29:59.079><c> to</c><00:29:59.259><c> be</c><00:29:59.539><c> associated</c><00:30:00.019><c> with</c><00:30:00.420><c> Gogh</c><00:30:01.039><c> and</c><00:30:01.380><c> Russia</c><00:30:01.940><c> and</c>

00:30:02.579 --> 00:30:06.240
the<00:30:02.859><c> Scythians</c><00:30:03.539><c> when</c><00:30:04.880><c> they</c><00:30:05.059><c> come</c><00:30:05.299><c> south.</c>

00:30:06.619 --> 00:30:12.119
And<00:30:07.039><c> verse</c><00:30:07.319><c> 5</c><00:30:07.700><c> says</c><00:30:08.640><c> that</c><00:30:10.259><c> the</c><00:30:10.400><c> very</c><00:30:10.779><c> first</c><00:30:11.180><c> nation</c><00:30:11.619><c> that</c><00:30:11.920><c> will</c>

00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:14.900
be<00:30:12.380><c> associated</c><00:30:12.819><c> with</c><00:30:13.140><c> this</c><00:30:13.380><c> invading</c><00:30:13.779><c> power</c>

00:30:15.500 --> 00:30:18.660
is<00:30:15.920><c> a</c><00:30:16.079><c> nation</c><00:30:16.299><c> called</c><00:30:16.740><c> Persia,</c>

00:30:19.019 --> 00:30:24.000
which<00:30:19.119><c> is</c><00:30:19.359><c> the</c><00:30:19.640><c> old</c><00:30:20.339><c> Bible</c><00:30:20.819><c> word</c><00:30:21.440><c> for</c><00:30:22.839><c> the</c><00:30:23.059><c> modern</c><00:30:23.319><c> day</c><00:30:23.519><c> nation</c>

00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:25.960
of<00:30:24.980><c> Iran.</c>

00:30:26.019 --> 00:30:28.180
Ah<00:30:26.019><c> now</c><00:30:26.259><c> isn't</c><00:30:26.799><c> that</c><00:30:27.440><c> interesting.</c>

00:30:28.559 --> 00:30:32.559
So<00:30:28.799><c> what</c><00:30:29.059><c> the</c><00:30:29.299><c> Bible</c><00:30:29.539><c> says</c><00:30:30.059><c> is</c><00:30:30.599><c> that</c><00:30:30.819><c> when</c><00:30:31.119><c> Russia</c><00:30:31.559><c> makes</c><00:30:32.099><c> its</c>

00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:33.759
invasion<00:30:33.079><c> south,</c>

00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:39.819
the<00:30:34.319><c> power</c><00:30:34.920><c> of</c><00:30:35.500><c> Iran</c><00:30:36.200><c> will</c><00:30:37.220><c> be</c><00:30:37.660><c> in</c><00:30:37.940><c> association</c><00:30:38.740><c> with</c><00:30:39.339><c> Russia</c>

00:30:39.819 --> 00:30:41.819
at<00:30:40.599><c> that</c><00:30:40.880><c> very</c><00:30:41.380><c> time.</c>

00:30:42.319 --> 00:30:46.420
That's<00:30:42.519><c> the</c><00:30:42.700><c> burden</c><00:30:42.920><c> if</c><00:30:43.119><c> you</c><00:30:43.259><c> like</c><00:30:43.420><c> of</c><00:30:43.819><c> the</c><00:30:44.059><c> prophecy</c><00:30:44.380><c> of</c><00:30:44.839><c> Ezekiel</c><00:30:45.440><c> chapter</c><00:30:45.859><c> 38.</c>

00:30:46.619 --> 00:30:48.660
So<00:30:46.779><c> this</c><00:30:46.960><c> is</c><00:30:47.160><c> a</c><00:30:47.279><c> line</c><00:30:47.400><c> if</c><00:30:47.519><c> you</c><00:30:47.680><c> like</c><00:30:47.799><c> of</c><00:30:48.000><c> Bible</c><00:30:48.259><c> evidence</c>

00:30:48.660 --> 00:30:51.799
that<00:30:48.960><c> suggests</c><00:30:49.380><c> there's</c><00:30:49.660><c> going</c><00:30:49.740><c> to</c><00:30:49.859><c> be</c><00:30:49.980><c> an</c><00:30:50.220><c> alignment</c><00:30:50.680><c> between</c><00:30:51.380><c> Russia</c>

00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:52.599
and<00:30:52.160><c> Iran</c>

00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:56.200
in<00:30:53.359><c> the</c><00:30:53.579><c> events</c><00:30:53.799><c> that</c><00:30:54.279><c> lead</c><00:30:54.440><c> up</c><00:30:54.700><c> to</c><00:30:54.920><c> the</c><00:30:55.240><c> culmination</c><00:30:55.920><c> of</c>

00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:57.519
Bible<00:30:56.480><c> prophecy.</c>

00:30:59.099 --> 00:31:01.259
Well<00:30:59.279><c> of</c><00:30:59.359><c> course</c><00:30:59.480><c> one</c><00:30:59.700><c> line</c><00:30:59.940><c> of</c><00:31:00.160><c> Bible</c><00:31:00.380><c> evidence</c><00:31:00.700><c> is</c><00:31:00.980><c> good,</c>

00:31:01.259 --> 00:31:03.339
but<00:31:01.980><c> perhaps</c><00:31:02.440><c> two</c><00:31:02.640><c> is</c><00:31:02.779><c> even</c><00:31:03.079><c> better.</c>

00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:05.039
So<00:31:03.539><c> let's</c><00:31:03.799><c> take</c><00:31:04.019><c> another</c><00:31:04.240><c> one</c><00:31:04.440><c> shall</c><00:31:04.640><c> we.</c>

00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:07.279
I'd<00:31:05.420><c> like</c><00:31:05.500><c> you</c><00:31:05.640><c> to</c><00:31:05.759><c> come</c><00:31:05.880><c> to</c><00:31:06.059><c> the</c><00:31:06.400><c> prophecy</c><00:31:06.680><c> of</c><00:31:06.960><c> Daniel,</c>

00:31:07.619 --> 00:31:09.960
which<00:31:07.779><c> is</c><00:31:08.000><c> a</c><00:31:08.079><c> little</c><00:31:08.200><c> bit</c><00:31:08.380><c> later</c><00:31:08.640><c> on,</c><00:31:08.839><c> not</c><00:31:09.079><c> too</c><00:31:09.359><c> much</c><00:31:09.559><c> later</c><00:31:09.779><c> on,</c>

00:31:10.059 --> 00:31:11.119
in<00:31:10.079><c> fact</c><00:31:10.119><c> it's</c><00:31:10.220><c> the</c><00:31:10.259><c> very</c><00:31:10.440><c> next</c><00:31:10.720><c> prophet,</c>

00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:13.059
Daniel<00:31:11.940><c> chapter</c><00:31:12.440><c> 11,</c>

00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:16.599
and<00:31:13.779><c> let's</c><00:31:14.019><c> just</c><00:31:14.220><c> look</c><00:31:14.339><c> at</c><00:31:14.500><c> another</c><00:31:14.779><c> line</c><00:31:15.339><c> of</c><00:31:15.859><c> reason</c><00:31:16.200><c> from</c>

00:31:16.599 --> 00:31:17.839
our<00:31:16.839><c> Bibles</c>

00:31:18.220 --> 00:31:21.059
that<00:31:18.700><c> might</c><00:31:19.079><c> suggest</c><00:31:19.640><c> similarly</c><00:31:20.119><c> that</c><00:31:20.359><c> there's</c><00:31:20.599><c> going</c><00:31:20.740><c> to</c><00:31:20.920><c> be</c>

00:31:21.059 --> 00:31:24.319
a<00:31:21.259><c> Russia</c><00:31:21.660><c>-Iran</c><00:31:22.359><c> axis</c><00:31:23.200><c> developing</c>

00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:26.380
at<00:31:24.839><c> the</c><00:31:25.140><c> time</c><00:31:25.400><c> of</c><00:31:25.799><c> the</c><00:31:26.000><c> end,</c>

00:31:26.380 --> 00:31:30.019
and<00:31:26.960><c> that</c><00:31:27.079><c> that's</c><00:31:27.380><c> a</c><00:31:27.480><c> reasonable</c><00:31:28.079><c> expectation</c><00:31:29.019><c> that</c><00:31:29.480><c> we</c><00:31:29.640><c> could</c><00:31:29.839><c> have</c>

00:31:30.019 --> 00:31:32.240
from<00:31:30.680><c> Biblical</c><00:31:31.259><c> prophecy.</c>

00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:35.119
Now<00:31:33.640><c> Daniel</c><00:31:33.900><c> 11</c><00:31:34.119><c> is</c><00:31:34.299><c> quite</c><00:31:34.500><c> a</c><00:31:34.640><c> long</c><00:31:34.819><c> chapter,</c>

00:31:35.140 --> 00:31:37.160
so<00:31:35.339><c> just</c><00:31:35.619><c> as</c><00:31:35.779><c> well</c><00:31:35.859><c> we're</c><00:31:35.980><c> not</c><00:31:36.119><c> going</c><00:31:36.259><c> to</c><00:31:36.279><c> look</c><00:31:36.420><c> at</c><00:31:36.519><c> it</c><00:31:36.660><c> in</c><00:31:36.819><c> detail,</c>

00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:39.500
but<00:31:37.559><c> I'm</c><00:31:37.900><c> going</c><00:31:38.000><c> to</c><00:31:38.140><c> take</c><00:31:38.240><c> you</c><00:31:38.380><c> right</c><00:31:38.559><c> to</c><00:31:38.720><c> the</c><00:31:38.920><c> start</c><00:31:39.099><c> and</c><00:31:39.279><c> then</c>

00:31:39.500 --> 00:31:40.160
right<00:31:39.700><c> to</c><00:31:39.880><c> the</c><00:31:40.000><c> end,</c>

00:38:44.840 --> 00:38:46.860
Well<00:38:45.039><c> I</c><00:38:45.039><c> think</c><00:38:45.159><c> we</c><00:38:45.260><c> can</c><00:38:45.380><c> do</c><00:38:45.519><c> that</c><00:38:45.679><c> as</c><00:38:45.820><c> well,</c><00:38:46.039><c> you</c><00:38:46.179><c> see,</c><00:38:46.340><c> from</c><00:38:46.639><c> a</c>

00:38:48.980 --> 00:38:50.440
So<00:38:49.139><c> let's</c><00:38:49.280><c> have</c><00:38:49.420><c> a</c><00:38:49.480><c> look</c><00:38:49.619><c> at</c><00:38:49.739><c> that,</c><00:38:49.940><c> shall</c><00:38:50.039><c> we?</c>

00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:54.539
Let's<00:38:51.159><c> match</c><00:38:51.480><c> up</c><00:38:51.679><c> those</c><00:38:52.119><c> two</c><00:38:52.519><c> particular</c><00:38:52.920><c> lines</c><00:38:53.260><c> of</c><00:38:53.840><c> Biblical</c><00:38:54.219><c> evidence</c>

00:38:54.539 --> 00:38:56.519
that<00:38:54.719><c> we've</c><00:38:54.920><c> put</c><00:38:55.099><c> together</c><00:38:55.480><c> there.</c>

00:38:59.619 --> 00:39:02.739
The<00:38:59.619><c> one</c><00:39:00.239><c> side</c><00:39:00.460><c> is</c><00:39:00.659><c> Ezekiel</c><00:39:01.019><c> 38</c><00:39:01.500><c> and</c><00:39:01.940><c> chapter</c><00:39:02.179><c> 39,</c>

00:39:07.380 --> 00:39:10.420
This<00:39:07.619><c> is</c><00:39:07.800><c> just</c><00:39:07.960><c> a</c><00:39:08.059><c> very</c><00:39:08.320><c> simple</c><00:39:08.739><c> chart</c><00:39:09.179><c> comparison</c><00:39:09.820><c> of</c><00:39:10.159><c> what</c>

Here's<00:40:14.320><c> another</c><00:40:14.579><c> thing,</c><00:40:14.940><c> is</c><00:40:15.079><c> that</c><00:40:15.239><c> their</c><00:40:15.739><c> devastating</c><00:40:16.380><c> speed</c>

00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:20.059
and<00:40:17.840><c> their</c><00:40:18.420><c> overwhelming</c><00:40:18.920><c> attack</c><00:40:19.360><c> are</c><00:40:19.539><c> the</c><00:40:19.719><c> same.</c>

00:40:20.300 --> 00:40:23.139
Because<00:40:20.599><c> we're</c><00:40:21.000><c> told</c><00:40:21.159><c> in</c><00:40:21.739><c> Ezekiel,</c><00:40:22.300><c> thou</c><00:40:22.380><c> shall</c><00:40:22.599><c> ascend</c><00:40:22.960><c> and</c>

00:40:23.139 --> 00:40:24.119

00:40:26.500 --> 00:40:29.039
And<00:40:26.739><c> that's</c><00:40:26.940><c> quite</c><00:40:27.159><c> similar</c><00:40:27.440><c> really,</c><00:40:27.820><c> isn't</c><00:40:27.960><c> it,</c><00:40:28.039><c> to</c><00:40:28.179><c> the</c><00:40:28.260><c> language</c><00:40:28.539><c> of</c>

00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:32.199

00:40:33.340 --> 00:40:37.059
It's<00:40:33.659><c> the</c><00:40:33.800><c> same</c><00:40:34.039><c> type</c><00:40:34.300><c> of</c><00:40:34.579><c> blitzkrieg</c><00:40:35.480><c> attack</c><00:40:35.920><c> that</c><00:40:36.380><c> is</c><00:40:36.619><c> mentioned</c>

00:40:56.219 --> 00:40:59.500
And<00:40:56.360><c> Daniel</c><00:40:56.579><c> 11</c><00:40:56.880><c> says</c><00:40:57.099><c> he</c><00:40:57.260><c> shall</c><00:40:57.579><c> have</c><00:40:57.900><c> power</c><00:40:58.199><c> over</c><00:40:58.559><c> the</c><00:40:58.980><c> treasures</c><00:40:59.239><c> of</c>

00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:05.099
There's<00:41:01.460><c> a</c><00:41:01.619><c> mercenary</c><00:41:02.239><c> aspect</c><00:41:02.800><c> to</c><00:41:03.000><c> this</c><00:41:03.599><c> warfare</c><00:41:04.280><c> adventure</c>

00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:18.280
Because<00:41:15.219><c> Ezekiel</c><00:41:15.679><c> tells</c><00:41:15.960><c> us,</c><00:41:16.539><c> thou</c><00:41:16.539><c> shall</c><00:41:16.760><c> fall</c><00:41:16.980><c> upon</c><00:41:17.239><c> the</c><00:41:17.360><c> mountains</c><00:41:17.639><c> of</c><00:41:17.760><c> Israel.</c>

00:41:18.559 --> 00:41:21.780
Thou<00:41:18.659><c> and</c><00:41:18.780><c> all</c><00:41:18.980><c> thy</c><00:41:19.199><c> bands</c><00:41:19.679><c> is</c><00:41:20.079><c> the</c><00:41:20.260><c> promise</c><00:41:20.460><c> when</c><00:41:20.739><c> gold</c><00:41:21.019><c> comes</c><00:41:21.380><c> down.</c>

00:41:22.179 --> 00:41:25.860
And<00:41:22.440><c> Daniel</c><00:41:22.800><c> 11</c><00:41:23.280><c> says,</c><00:41:24.119><c> in</c><00:41:24.320><c> the</c><00:41:24.579><c> glorious</c><00:41:25.159><c> holy</c><00:41:25.480><c> mountain,</c>

00:41:25.980 --> 00:41:27.960
the<00:41:26.019><c> king</c><00:41:26.179><c> of</c><00:41:26.320><c> the</c><00:41:26.400><c> north</c><00:41:26.579><c> shall</c><00:41:26.739><c> come</c><00:41:27.000><c> and</c><00:41:27.380><c> come</c><00:41:27.539><c> to</c><00:41:27.659><c> his</c><00:41:27.800><c> end</c>

00:41:28.760 --> 00:41:31.360
They<00:41:29.199><c> fall</c><00:41:29.400><c> on</c><00:41:29.559><c> the</c><00:41:29.679><c> mountains</c><00:41:30.019><c> of</c><00:41:30.320><c> Israel,</c><00:41:30.860><c> you</c><00:41:31.219><c> see.</c>

00:41:31.360 --> 00:41:36.400
So<00:41:31.760><c> what</c><00:41:31.940><c> we're</c><00:41:32.199><c> really</c><00:41:32.539><c> suggesting</c><00:41:33.000><c> is</c><00:41:33.800><c> the</c><00:41:34.519><c> one</c><00:41:34.780><c> who's</c><00:41:35.280><c> described</c><00:41:35.820><c> as</c>

00:41:48.599 --> 00:41:51.000
So<00:41:48.760><c> now</c><00:41:48.920><c> we've</c><00:41:49.099><c> got</c><00:41:49.239><c> two</c><00:41:49.519><c> lines</c><00:41:49.880><c> of</c><00:41:50.139><c> evidence</c><00:41:50.420><c> suggesting,</c>

00:41:53.400 --> 00:41:55.800
that<00:41:53.400><c> one</c><00:41:53.760><c> of</c><00:41:53.900><c> the</c><00:41:54.079><c> things</c><00:41:54.219><c> we</c><00:41:54.500><c> expect</c><00:41:54.920><c> to</c><00:41:55.219><c> see</c><00:41:55.300><c> at</c><00:41:55.480><c> the</c><00:41:55.679><c> time</c>

00:42:03.539 --> 00:42:04.920
Well,<00:42:03.800><c> that's</c><00:42:03.920><c> exactly</c><00:42:04.159><c> what's</c><00:42:04.420><c> happening,</c><00:42:04.739><c> isn't</c><00:42:04.820><c> it?</c>

Ladies<00:42:05.260><c> and</c><00:42:05.480><c> gentlemen,</c><00:42:05.719><c> as</c><00:42:05.840><c> we</c><00:42:06.199><c> come</c><00:42:06.400><c> to</c><00:42:06.840><c> modern</c><00:42:07.320><c> affairs</c><00:42:07.860><c> today,</c>

00:42:11.559 --> 00:42:15.539
In<00:42:11.699><c> fact,</c><00:42:11.840><c> we</c><00:42:11.920><c> could</c><00:42:12.059><c> even</c><00:42:12.300><c> suggest</c><00:42:12.699><c> to</c><00:42:12.960><c> the</c><00:42:13.400><c> Obama</c><00:42:13.940><c> administration</c><00:42:14.760><c> in</c><00:42:15.099><c> America</c>

00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:55.559
which<00:44:52.739><c> is</c><00:44:53.300><c> amazingly</c><00:44:53.860><c> rich</c><00:44:54.280><c> in</c><00:44:54.579><c> natural</c><00:44:54.960><c> resources</c>

00:44:55.559 --> 00:44:59.440

00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:03.880
So<00:45:01.139><c> they</c><00:45:01.320><c> called</c><00:45:01.480><c> a</c><00:45:01.699><c> conference</c><00:45:02.079><c> in</c><00:45:02.500><c> Tehran</c>

00:45:03.880 --> 00:45:06.920
and<00:45:04.179><c> they</c><00:45:04.340><c> invited</c><00:45:04.820><c> the</c><00:45:05.039><c> other</c><00:45:05.260><c> Caspian</c><00:45:05.739><c> nations</c><00:45:06.139><c> to</c><00:45:06.380><c> come</c><00:45:06.579><c> along.</c>

00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:08.780
It<00:45:07.239><c> was</c><00:45:07.340><c> a</c><00:45:07.420><c> bit</c><00:45:07.500><c> of</c><00:45:07.659><c> a</c><00:45:07.719><c> diplomatic</c><00:45:08.139><c> coup</c><00:45:08.500><c> really</c>

00:45:08.780 --> 00:45:11.780
because<00:45:09.320><c> Iran</c><00:45:09.599><c> was</c><00:45:09.820><c> under</c><00:45:10.019><c> a</c><00:45:10.019><c> little</c><00:45:10.219><c> bit</c><00:45:10.400><c> of</c><00:45:10.820><c> sanctioned</c><00:45:11.420><c> pressure</c><00:45:11.599><c> at</c>

00:45:14.079 --> 00:45:18.019
In<00:45:14.139><c> fact,</c><00:45:14.659><c> Putin</c><00:45:14.900><c> who</c><00:45:15.800><c> I</c><00:45:15.940><c> think</c><00:45:16.099><c> was</c><00:45:16.280><c> still</c><00:45:16.519><c> president</c><00:45:16.880><c> in</c><00:45:17.059><c> 2007</c>

attended<00:45:18.780><c> this</c><00:45:19.119><c> conference,</c><00:45:19.519><c> he</c><00:45:19.760><c> flew</c><00:45:19.920><c> into</c><00:45:20.179><c> Tehran</c>

00:45:20.980 --> 00:45:25.380
despite<00:45:21.440><c> the</c><00:45:21.639><c> fact</c><00:45:21.739><c> that</c><00:45:21.880><c> there</c><00:45:22.679><c> was</c><00:45:22.679><c> a</c><00:45:22.860><c> supposed</c><00:45:23.139><c> death</c><00:45:23.519><c> threat</c><00:45:23.619><c> against</c><00:45:24.059><c> him.</c>

00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:29.639
Someone<00:45:27.539><c> has</c><00:45:27.800><c> shut</c><00:45:27.940><c> the</c><00:45:28.179><c> crucial</c><00:45:28.500><c> door.</c>

00:45:30.820 --> 00:45:35.860
In<00:45:31.460><c> fact,</c><00:45:32.119><c> when</c><00:45:32.440><c> Putin</c><00:45:32.840><c> did</c><00:45:33.239><c> visit</c><00:45:33.719><c> Tehran</c><00:45:34.300><c> in</c><00:45:34.659><c> 2007</c>

00:45:35.860 --> 00:45:40.599
my<00:45:36.699><c> understanding</c><00:45:37.260><c> is</c><00:45:37.460><c> that</c><00:45:37.559><c> he</c><00:45:37.639><c> was</c><00:45:37.820><c> the</c><00:45:38.099><c> first</c><00:45:39.079><c> Russian</c><00:45:39.719><c> president</c><00:45:40.320><c> to</c>

00:45:40.599 --> 00:45:41.340
visit<00:45:40.820><c> that</c>

00:45:41.340 --> 00:45:46.699
I<00:45:42.199><c> think</c><00:45:43.039><c> since</c><00:45:43.300><c> Stalin</c><00:45:43.780><c> actually</c><00:45:44.460><c> in</c><00:45:44.599><c> 1943.</c>

00:45:47.239 --> 00:45:51.280
First<00:45:47.400><c> Russian</c><00:45:48.300><c> president</c><00:45:48.719><c> to</c><00:45:48.940><c> visit</c><00:45:49.119><c> Iran</c><00:45:49.480><c> since</c><00:45:50.239><c> 1943.</c>

00:45:51.579 --> 00:45:52.940
So<00:45:51.699><c> Putin</c><00:45:51.920><c> came</c><00:45:52.239><c> to</c><00:45:52.400><c> this</c><00:45:52.579><c> conference.</c>

00:45:53.320 --> 00:45:54.980
Now<00:45:53.440><c> what's</c><00:45:53.679><c> interesting</c><00:45:53.960><c> is</c><00:45:54.159><c> that</c><00:45:54.280><c> they</c><00:45:54.320><c> did</c><00:45:54.500><c> several</c><00:45:54.780><c> things.</c>

00:45:54.980 --> 00:45:58.440
They<00:45:55.619><c> first</c><00:45:55.920><c> of</c><00:45:56.059><c> all</c><00:45:56.239><c> signed</c><00:45:56.619><c> a</c><00:45:56.940><c> joint</c><00:45:57.139><c> agreement</c><00:45:57.519><c> between</c><00:45:57.820><c> all</c><00:45:58.079><c> five</c><00:45:58.300><c> of</c>

00:45:58.440 --> 00:45:59.780
these<00:45:58.719><c> states.</c>

00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:01.380
They're<00:46:00.420><c> called</c><00:46:00.539><c> the</c><00:46:00.739><c> literal</c><00:46:01.019><c> states.</c>

00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:03.820
The<00:46:01.559><c> word</c><00:46:01.699><c> literal</c><00:46:02.000><c> means</c><00:46:02.340><c> pertaining</c><00:46:02.760><c> to</c><00:46:03.000><c> the</c><00:46:03.239><c> coastline.</c>

00:46:04.219 --> 00:46:07.559
So<00:46:04.320><c> there</c><00:46:04.440><c> was</c><00:46:04.619><c> a</c><00:46:04.760><c> joint</c><00:46:04.960><c> agreement</c><00:46:05.340><c> of</c><00:46:05.539><c> all</c><00:46:05.880><c> five</c><00:46:06.539><c> literal</c><00:46:07.099><c> or</c>

00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:09.239
coastline<00:46:08.239><c> states</c>

00:46:09.320 --> 00:46:12.880
refusing<00:46:09.800><c> to</c><00:46:10.280><c> allow</c><00:46:10.639><c> their</c><00:46:11.059><c> territories</c><00:46:11.400><c> to</c><00:46:11.619><c> be</c><00:46:11.820><c> used</c><00:46:12.059><c> for</c><00:46:12.340><c> aggression</c>

00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:15.099
against<00:46:13.599><c> another</c><00:46:14.039><c> Caspian</c><00:46:14.760><c> state.</c>

00:46:15.260 --> 00:46:17.820
Now<00:46:15.460><c> that's</c><00:46:15.900><c> much</c><00:46:16.260><c> more</c><00:46:16.619><c> significant</c><00:46:17.059><c> than</c><00:46:17.239><c> you</c><00:46:17.460><c> might</c><00:46:17.639><c> at</c>

00:46:17.820 --> 00:46:18.440
first<00:46:18.119><c> think</c>

00:46:18.440 --> 00:46:20.880
because<00:46:18.980><c> see</c><00:46:19.119><c> what</c><00:46:19.360><c> the</c><00:46:19.699><c> US</c><00:46:19.860><c> was</c><00:46:20.099><c> up</c><00:46:20.260><c> to</c><00:46:20.300><c> at</c><00:46:20.460><c> that</c><00:46:20.679><c> stage</c>

00:46:20.880 --> 00:46:22.980
it<00:46:21.019><c> was</c><00:46:21.119><c> trying</c><00:46:21.280><c> to</c><00:46:21.400><c> get</c><00:46:21.519><c> a</c><00:46:21.639><c> base</c><00:46:21.760><c> in</c><00:46:21.900><c> one</c><00:46:22.019><c> of</c><00:46:22.179><c> these</c><00:46:22.400><c> three</c><00:46:22.639><c> spots.</c>

00:46:22.980 --> 00:46:25.440
They<00:46:23.420><c> wanted</c><00:46:23.639><c> to</c><00:46:23.860><c> set</c><00:46:24.079><c> up</c><00:46:24.199><c> a</c><00:46:24.400><c> military</c><00:46:24.639><c> base</c><00:46:24.960><c> there.</c>

00:46:25.860 --> 00:46:29.239
Russia<00:46:26.019><c> said</c><00:46:26.280><c> to</c><00:46:26.500><c> Iran,</c><00:46:27.360><c> I</c><00:46:27.380><c> think</c><00:46:27.539><c> we</c><00:46:27.639><c> ought</c><00:46:27.800><c> to</c><00:46:27.920><c> sign</c><00:46:28.079><c> a</c><00:46:28.260><c> treaty</c><00:46:28.539><c> between</c><00:46:28.960><c> our</c>

00:47:06.900 --> 00:47:08.900

In<00:47:09.300><c> fact</c><00:47:09.300><c> they</c><00:47:09.420><c> haven't</c><00:47:09.599><c> even</c><00:47:09.880><c> agreed</c><00:47:10.079><c> on</c><00:47:10.260><c> the</c><00:47:10.380><c> basis</c><00:47:10.639><c> for</c><00:47:10.780><c> how</c>

00:47:10.860 --> 00:47:12.139
they'll<00:47:11.019><c> even</c><00:47:11.360><c> start</c><00:47:11.579><c> to</c><00:47:11.800><c> apportion</c><00:47:12.039><c> it.</c>

00:47:12.139 --> 00:47:13.440
But<00:47:12.260><c> they've</c><00:47:12.500><c> agreed</c><00:47:12.639><c> that</c><00:47:12.739><c> they're</c><00:47:12.880><c> going</c><00:47:12.960><c> to</c><00:47:13.039><c> do</c><00:47:13.159><c> it</c><00:47:13.300><c> at</c>

00:47:13.440 --> 00:47:14.000
some<00:47:13.659><c> stage</c>

00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:17.980
which<00:47:14.280><c> is</c><00:47:14.659><c> a</c><00:47:14.800><c> giant</c><00:47:15.019><c> step</c><00:47:15.300><c> forward</c><00:47:15.539><c> as</c><00:47:15.780><c> far</c><00:47:15.920><c> as</c><00:47:16.340><c> politics</c><00:47:16.699><c> is</c><00:47:16.960><c> concerned.</c>

00:47:19.980 --> 00:47:23.239

But<00:47:27.840><c> the</c><00:47:28.019><c> interesting</c><00:47:28.280><c> thing</c><00:47:28.500><c> is</c><00:47:28.760><c> that</c><00:47:29.980><c> only</c><00:47:30.440><c> two</c><00:47:30.719><c> nations</c>

00:47:33.699 --> 00:47:39.190

00:47:44.340 --> 00:47:50.300

00:47:54.559 --> 00:47:58.639

00:52:52.380 --> 00:52:57.539

00:53:06.559 --> 00:53:09.940
Why<00:53:06.699><c> the</c><00:53:06.840><c> powers</c><00:53:07.139><c> of</c><00:53:07.320><c> Russia</c><00:53:07.579><c> and</c><00:53:07.900><c> Iran</c><00:53:08.360><c> acting</c><00:53:08.920><c> in</c><00:53:09.260><c> concert</c><00:53:09.500><c> together</c>
