00:02:41.979 --> 00:02:44.680
ye,<00:02:42.520><c> speaking</c><00:02:43.039><c> here</c><00:02:43.439><c> of</c><00:02:43.599><c> the</c><00:02:43.840><c> Thessalonians,</c>

00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.259
have<00:02:45.340><c> no</c><00:02:45.659><c> need</c><00:02:45.900><c> that</c><00:02:46.180><c> I</c><00:02:46.360><c> write</c><00:02:46.520><c> unto</c><00:02:46.759><c> you.</c>

00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:50.259
For<00:02:47.639><c> yourselves</c><00:02:48.120><c> know</c><00:02:48.360><c> perfectly</c><00:02:48.860><c> that</c><00:02:49.199><c> the</c><00:02:49.340><c> day</c><00:02:49.539><c> of</c><00:02:49.659><c> the</c><00:02:49.819><c> Lord</c><00:02:50.000><c> so</c>

cometh<00:02:50.500><c> as</c><00:02:50.759><c> a</c><00:02:51.020><c> thief</c><00:02:51.159><c> in</c><00:02:51.340><c> the</c><00:02:51.460><c> night.</c>

00:02:52.139 --> 00:02:57.020
But<00:02:52.460><c> ye,</c><00:02:53.680><c> brethren,</c><00:02:54.460><c> are</c><00:02:54.580><c> not</c><00:02:54.800><c> in</c><00:02:55.000><c> darkness,</c><00:02:56.180><c> that</c><00:02:56.479><c> that</c><00:02:56.759><c> day</c>

00:02:57.020 --> 00:02:58.500
should<00:02:57.280><c> overtake</c><00:02:57.659><c> you</c><00:02:57.900><c> as</c><00:02:58.139><c> a</c><00:02:58.280><c> thief.</c>

00:02:58.979 --> 00:03:02.639
Ye<00:02:59.360><c> are</c><00:02:59.659><c> all</c><00:02:59.939><c> the</c><00:03:00.080><c> children</c><00:03:00.340><c> of</c><00:03:00.599><c> light</c><00:03:00.860><c> and</c><00:03:01.719><c> the</c><00:03:02.000><c> children</c><00:03:02.340><c> of</c>

00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:03.159
the<00:03:02.840><c> day.</c>

00:03:03.340 --> 00:03:06.719
We<00:03:03.659><c> are</c><00:03:03.900><c> not</c><00:03:04.120><c> of</c><00:03:04.300><c> the</c><00:03:04.479><c> night</c><00:03:04.879><c> nor</c><00:03:05.300><c> of</c><00:03:05.580><c> the</c><00:03:05.719><c> darkness.</c>

00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.919
So<00:03:07.419><c> I</c><00:03:07.639><c> think</c><00:03:07.879><c> we</c><00:03:08.099><c> really</c><00:03:08.300><c> do</c><00:03:08.479><c> have</c><00:03:08.659><c> an</c><00:03:08.740><c> answer</c><00:03:09.080><c> here</c><00:03:09.520><c> that</c><00:03:10.000><c> we</c>

00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:12.919
should<00:03:11.259><c> know</c><00:03:11.719><c> the</c><00:03:12.060><c> times</c><00:03:12.280><c> and</c><00:03:12.560><c> seasons,</c>

00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:16.620
and<00:03:13.120><c> particularly</c><00:03:13.800><c> we're</c><00:03:14.759><c> so</c><00:03:14.919><c> very</c><00:03:15.199><c> much</c><00:03:15.400><c> closer</c><00:03:15.819><c> than</c><00:03:16.259><c> they</c>

00:03:16.620 --> 00:03:19.400
were<00:03:17.379><c> of</c><00:03:17.759><c> the</c><00:03:17.819><c> first</c><00:03:18.300><c> century.</c>

00:03:21.060 --> 00:03:24.479
Why<00:03:21.599><c> the</c><00:03:21.960><c> emphasis</c><00:03:22.319><c> here</c><00:03:22.659><c> on</c><00:03:22.960><c> this</c><00:03:23.240><c> word</c><00:03:23.599><c> thief?</c>

00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:28.280
We<00:03:25.159><c> see</c><00:03:25.340><c> it</c><00:03:25.539><c> actually</c><00:03:25.900><c> two</c><00:03:26.240><c> times</c><00:03:26.800><c> in</c><00:03:27.159><c> verse</c><00:03:27.479><c> 2.</c>

00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:31.060
For<00:03:28.439><c> yourselves</c><00:03:28.860><c> know</c><00:03:29.120><c> perfectly</c><00:03:29.580><c> that</c><00:03:29.879><c> the</c><00:03:30.080><c> day</c><00:03:30.280><c> of</c><00:03:30.400><c> the</c><00:03:30.560><c> Lord</c><00:03:30.780><c> so</c>

00:03:31.060 --> 00:03:32.960

00:03:32.979 --> 00:03:36.000
So<00:03:33.159><c> this</c><00:03:33.360><c> is</c><00:03:33.659><c> a</c><00:03:33.780><c> sign</c><00:03:34.000><c> here,</c><00:03:34.419><c> comes</c><00:03:34.639><c> as</c><00:03:34.939><c> a</c><00:03:35.099><c> thief</c><00:03:35.280><c> in</c><00:03:35.460><c> the</c><00:03:35.620><c> night.</c>

00:03:36.340 --> 00:03:40.259
And<00:03:36.500><c> we</c><00:03:36.659><c> see</c><00:03:36.780><c> it</c><00:03:37.000><c> again</c><00:03:37.240><c> on</c><00:03:37.659><c> verse</c><00:03:37.979><c> 4,</c><00:03:39.360><c> overtake</c><00:03:39.840><c> you.</c>

00:03:40.259 --> 00:03:43.939
So<00:03:40.620><c> there's</c><00:03:41.039><c> exhortation</c><00:03:41.599><c> here</c><00:03:42.080><c> that</c><00:03:42.680><c> Christ</c><00:03:42.960><c> is</c><00:03:43.180><c> going</c><00:03:43.259><c> to</c><00:03:43.439><c> come</c><00:03:43.539><c> as</c><00:03:43.759><c> a</c>

00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.840
In<00:03:52.580><c> fact,</c><00:03:53.039><c> as</c><00:03:53.259><c> we</c><00:03:53.419><c> look</c><00:03:53.560><c> at</c><00:03:53.740><c> the</c><00:03:53.860><c> New</c><00:03:54.039><c> Testament,</c><00:03:55.199><c> we</c><00:03:55.360><c> find</c>

00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:14.280
We've<00:04:08.060><c> got</c><00:04:08.199><c> it</c><00:04:08.340><c> by</c><00:04:08.560><c> Peter,</c><00:04:09.719><c> and</c><00:04:11.419><c> we</c><00:04:11.580><c> also</c><00:04:11.900><c> have</c><00:04:12.039><c> it</c><00:04:12.240><c> by</c><00:04:12.439><c> John</c><00:04:13.180><c> twice</c><00:04:13.979><c> in</c>

00:04:15.860 --> 00:04:19.740
So<00:04:16.019><c> that's</c><00:04:16.420><c> a</c><00:04:16.420><c> very</c><00:04:16.879><c> important</c><00:04:17.319><c> sign</c><00:04:17.800><c> and</c><00:04:18.620><c> exhortation</c><00:04:19.100><c> to</c><00:04:19.339><c> us.</c>

00:04:24.939 --> 00:04:27.339
It's<00:04:25.199><c> going</c><00:04:25.339><c> to</c><00:04:25.459><c> turn</c><00:04:25.579><c> as</c><00:04:25.819><c> a</c><00:04:26.000><c> thief</c><00:04:26.139><c> as</c><00:04:26.399><c> far</c><00:04:26.540><c> as</c><00:04:26.660><c> the</c><00:04:26.860><c> world</c><00:04:27.040><c> is</c>

00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:35.639
Now,<00:04:32.240><c> it</c><00:04:32.740><c> seems</c><00:04:32.939><c> to</c><00:04:33.120><c> be</c><00:04:33.339><c> contrasted</c><00:04:33.899><c> here</c><00:04:34.079><c> in</c><00:04:34.279><c> the</c><00:04:34.459><c> All</c><00:04:34.620><c> But</c><00:04:34.740><c> Prophecy</c><00:04:35.420><c> in</c>

00:08:30.689 --> 00:08:33.309
So,<00:08:30.990><c> if</c><00:08:31.149><c> we</c><00:08:31.290><c> read</c><00:08:31.449><c> here</c><00:08:31.850><c> in</c><00:08:32.049><c> verse</c><00:08:32.309><c> 51,</c>

00:08:36.409 --> 00:08:43.210
So,<00:08:41.370><c> here's</c><00:08:41.690><c> what</c><00:08:41.850><c> it</c><00:08:41.929><c> looks</c><00:08:42.190><c> like.</c>

00:08:43.830 --> 00:08:46.029
This<00:08:43.929><c> was</c><00:08:44.149><c> a</c><00:08:44.230><c> picture</c><00:08:44.389><c> I</c><00:08:44.529><c> got</c><00:08:44.730><c> up</c><00:08:44.889><c> very</c><00:08:45.210><c> early</c><00:08:45.429><c> in</c><00:08:45.570><c> the</c><00:08:45.669><c> morning.</c>

00:08:46.190 --> 00:08:53.110
You<00:08:46.289><c> can</c><00:08:46.529><c> see</c><00:08:46.669><c> the</c><00:08:46.850><c> Dead</c><00:08:47.090><c> Sea</c><00:08:47.330><c> over</c><00:08:47.669><c> here,</c><00:08:52.250><c> and</c><00:08:52.350><c> this</c><00:08:52.590><c> reflection.</c>

00:08:53.230 --> 00:08:55.090
I<00:08:53.370><c> had</c><00:08:53.549><c> the</c><00:08:53.710><c> sun</c><00:08:54.049><c> shining</c><00:08:54.389><c> off</c><00:08:54.710><c> of</c><00:08:54.850><c> it.</c>

00:08:55.289 --> 00:08:58.029
And<00:08:55.470><c> you</c><00:08:55.529><c> can</c><00:08:55.750><c> see</c><00:08:55.929><c> just</c><00:08:56.169><c> a</c><00:08:56.389><c> little</c><00:08:56.730><c> bit</c><00:08:56.950><c> of</c><00:08:57.129><c> reflection</c><00:08:57.470><c> there.</c>

00:08:58.470 --> 00:09:00.509
So,<00:08:58.610><c> I'm</c><00:08:58.789><c> standing</c><00:08:59.110><c> up</c><00:08:59.409><c> here</c><00:08:59.649><c> on</c><00:08:59.809><c> the</c><00:08:59.970><c> Mount</c><00:09:00.110><c> of</c><00:09:00.330><c> Aulbs.</c>

00:09:00.509 --> 00:09:02.129
This<00:09:00.750><c> is</c><00:09:00.950><c> all</c><00:09:01.129><c> cemetery</c><00:09:01.730><c> here.</c>

00:09:02.129 --> 00:09:07.730
I'm<00:09:02.590><c> looking</c><00:09:02.909><c> east,</c><00:09:05.730><c> and</c><00:09:05.789><c> this</c><00:09:05.990><c> is</c><00:09:06.210><c> the</c><00:09:06.250><c> road</c><00:09:06.370><c> down</c><00:09:06.610><c> to</c><00:09:06.809><c> Jericho.</c>

00:09:09.750 --> 00:09:13.309
And<00:09:10.190><c> this</c><00:09:10.629><c> little</c><00:09:11.110><c> village</c><00:09:11.529><c> of</c><00:09:11.730><c> Bethany</c><00:09:12.129><c> is</c><00:09:12.470><c> right</c><00:09:12.669><c> over</c><00:09:12.950><c> here.</c>

00:09:13.529 --> 00:09:16.210
And<00:09:13.730><c> you</c><00:09:13.850><c> would</c><00:09:14.049><c> not</c><00:09:14.190><c> be</c><00:09:14.330><c> able</c><00:09:14.470><c> to</c><00:09:14.690><c> see</c><00:09:14.830><c> it</c><00:09:15.330><c> from</c><00:09:15.710><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:09:16.330 --> 00:09:18.289
So,<00:09:16.529><c> I'm</c><00:09:16.649><c> going</c><00:09:16.789><c> to</c><00:09:16.889><c> turn</c><00:09:17.169><c> the</c><00:09:17.350><c> camera</c><00:09:17.730><c> right</c><00:09:17.990><c> around,</c>

00:09:18.350 --> 00:09:20.169

00:09:20.610 --> 00:09:24.429
And<00:09:20.830><c> we</c><00:09:20.950><c> have</c><00:09:21.149><c> Jerusalem</c><00:09:21.610><c> laid</c><00:09:21.870><c> out</c><00:09:22.409><c> on</c><00:09:22.629><c> the</c><00:09:22.750><c> other</c><00:09:22.990><c> side,</c><00:09:23.289><c> of</c><00:09:23.470><c> course,</c>

00:09:25.549 --> 00:09:26.570
This<00:09:25.750><c> is</c><00:09:25.889><c> looking</c><00:09:26.110><c> west.</c>

00:09:26.970 --> 00:09:31.450
And<00:09:27.149><c> you</c><00:09:27.250><c> can</c><00:09:27.450><c> see</c><00:09:27.870><c> the</c><00:09:28.509><c> wall</c><00:09:28.889><c> that</c><00:09:29.750><c> goes</c><00:09:30.009><c> around</c><00:09:30.309><c> the</c><00:09:30.490><c> old</c><00:09:30.629><c> city</c><00:09:30.850><c> of</c><00:09:31.070><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:09:31.450 --> 00:09:36.409
You<00:09:31.789><c> can</c><00:09:32.090><c> see</c><00:09:32.389><c> laid</c><00:09:32.710><c> out</c><00:09:33.149><c> here</c><00:09:33.370><c> the</c><00:09:33.490><c> modern</c><00:09:33.830><c> city</c><00:09:34.110><c> of</c><00:09:34.289><c> Jerusalem</c><00:09:34.690><c> up</c><00:09:34.929><c> over</c><00:09:35.289><c> here.</c>

00:09:37.490 --> 00:09:40.009
And<00:09:37.490><c> this</c><00:09:38.350><c> valley</c><00:09:38.669><c> is</c><00:09:38.870><c> quite</c><00:09:39.110><c> deep,</c>

00:09:40.210 --> 00:09:42.509

00:09:45.509 --> 00:09:49.990
So,<00:09:46.049><c> it's</c><00:09:46.250><c> something</c><00:09:46.549><c> done,</c><00:09:48.750><c> and</c><00:09:48.870><c> just</c><00:09:49.070><c> his</c><00:09:49.250><c> own</c><00:09:49.509><c> disciples,</c>

00:10:16.029 --> 00:10:19.309
Now,<00:10:16.549><c> I</c><00:10:17.070><c> take</c><00:10:17.409><c> the</c><00:10:17.629><c> Olivet</c><00:10:17.909><c> Prophecy,</c><00:10:18.470><c> and</c><00:10:18.610><c> I</c><00:10:18.710><c> take</c><00:10:18.870><c> the</c><00:10:19.110><c> first</c>

00:10:22.350 --> 00:10:24.230
I<00:10:22.470><c> think</c><00:10:22.610><c> we</c><00:10:22.769><c> can</c><00:10:23.029><c> prove</c><00:10:23.289><c> that,</c>

00:10:30.450 --> 00:10:33.909
But<00:10:30.690><c> as</c><00:10:30.990><c> the</c><00:10:31.190><c> prophecy</c><00:10:31.549><c> develops,</c><00:10:32.309><c> there</c><00:10:32.330><c> were</c><00:10:32.490><c> three</c><00:10:32.769><c> questions,</c>

00:12:22.370 --> 00:12:23.289
of<00:12:22.669><c> Noah</c><00:12:22.809><c> and</c><00:12:23.149><c> Lot</c>

00:12:23.289 --> 00:12:25.690
the<00:12:23.870><c> way</c><00:12:24.730><c> Genesis</c><00:12:25.309><c> does.</c>

00:12:25.990 --> 00:12:28.389
Now,<00:12:26.149><c> we</c><00:12:26.269><c> know</c><00:12:26.490><c> the</c><00:12:26.610><c> way</c><00:12:26.789><c> Genesis</c><00:12:27.250><c> does.</c>

00:12:28.450 --> 00:12:34.629
Day<00:12:28.730><c> of</c><00:12:29.690><c> Noah</c><00:12:30.070><c> was</c><00:12:30.289><c> a</c><00:12:30.429><c> day</c><00:12:30.549><c> of</c><00:12:30.809><c> violence,</c><00:12:33.470><c> and</c><00:12:33.470><c> it</c><00:12:34.429><c> describes</c>

00:12:34.629 --> 00:12:35.210
it<00:12:34.789><c> that</c><00:12:34.970><c> way.</c>

00:12:35.330 --> 00:12:39.730
And<00:12:35.509><c> the</c><00:12:35.570><c> day</c><00:12:35.750><c> of</c><00:12:35.950><c> Lot</c><00:12:36.169><c> was</c><00:12:36.450><c> a</c><00:12:36.590><c> day</c><00:12:36.730><c> of</c><00:12:36.909><c> immorality,</c><00:12:37.870><c> and</c><00:12:38.090><c> so</c><00:12:38.470><c> described.</c>

00:12:40.190 --> 00:12:45.250
But<00:12:40.750><c> Jesus,</c><00:12:41.309><c> instead,</c><00:12:41.789><c> Jesus</c><00:12:42.330><c> describes</c><00:12:43.210><c> an</c><00:12:43.870><c> age</c><00:12:44.169><c> of</c><00:12:44.409><c> eating,</c><00:12:44.929><c> drinking,</c>

00:12:45.250 --> 00:12:47.490
marrying,<00:12:46.029><c> and</c><00:12:46.190><c> giving</c><00:12:46.389><c> in</c><00:12:46.690><c> marriage.</c>

00:12:48.169 --> 00:12:49.029
That's<00:12:48.429><c> my</c><00:12:48.629><c> first</c><00:12:48.830><c> point.</c>

00:12:49.169 --> 00:12:50.470
My<00:12:49.350><c> second</c><00:12:49.549><c> point</c><00:12:49.830><c> is</c><00:12:50.070><c> this.</c>

00:12:50.929 --> 00:12:56.129
These<00:12:51.350><c> signs</c><00:12:52.230><c> fit</c><00:12:53.029><c> Israel</c><00:12:53.570><c> as</c><00:12:53.850><c> described</c><00:12:54.309><c> in</c><00:12:54.529><c> Ezekiel</c><00:12:54.970><c> 38.</c>

00:12:56.169 --> 00:13:00.309
They<00:12:56.370><c> do</c><00:12:56.669><c> not</c><00:12:56.870><c> apply</c><00:12:57.330><c> very</c><00:12:57.830><c> well</c><00:12:58.049><c> to</c><00:12:58.669><c> those</c><00:12:59.350><c> Ecclesiastes</c>

00:13:00.309 --> 00:13:03.850

00:13:03.850 --> 00:13:05.909
and<00:13:04.169><c> famines</c><00:13:04.470><c> taking</c><00:13:04.830><c> place.</c>

00:13:06.690 --> 00:13:10.929
And<00:13:07.250><c> in</c><00:13:07.809><c> particularly,</c><00:13:08.610><c> say,</c><00:13:09.450><c> Malawi</c><00:13:09.850><c> or</c><00:13:10.070><c> in</c><00:13:10.269><c> Africa</c><00:13:10.529><c> and</c><00:13:10.730><c> so</c>

00:13:10.929 --> 00:13:11.529
forth<00:13:11.110><c> and</c><00:13:11.289><c> that,</c>

00:13:11.730 --> 00:13:14.629
we<00:13:11.870><c> can</c><00:13:12.090><c> see</c><00:13:12.210><c> they</c><00:13:12.389><c> wouldn't</c><00:13:12.690><c> apply</c><00:13:13.009><c> very,</c><00:13:13.409><c> very</c><00:13:13.769><c> well</c><00:13:14.009><c> at</c><00:13:14.230><c> all.</c>

00:13:14.629 --> 00:13:19.669
As<00:13:15.450><c> far,</c><00:13:15.730><c> they're</c><00:13:15.889><c> under</c><00:13:16.289><c> very</c><00:13:16.590><c> much</c><00:13:16.830><c> hardship,</c><00:13:17.909><c> wars</c><00:13:18.129><c> and</c><00:13:18.450><c> famines.</c>

00:13:19.750 --> 00:13:22.350
But<00:13:20.129><c> if</c><00:13:20.490><c> we</c><00:13:20.649><c> take</c><00:13:20.850><c> Ezekiel</c><00:13:21.370><c> chapter</c><00:13:21.750><c> 38,</c>

00:13:22.850 --> 00:13:25.870
and<00:13:22.990><c> we'll</c><00:13:23.230><c> take</c><00:13:23.409><c> a</c><00:13:23.549><c> number</c><00:13:23.750><c> of</c><00:13:23.889><c> verses</c><00:13:24.090><c> here</c><00:13:24.350><c> to</c><00:13:24.549><c> show</c><00:13:24.730><c> that,</c>

00:13:26.730 --> 00:13:30.389
Israel<00:13:27.129><c> is</c><00:13:27.789><c> dwelling</c><00:13:28.149><c> prosperously</c><00:13:29.009><c> without</c><00:13:29.429><c> bars</c><00:13:29.809><c> and</c><00:13:30.129><c> gates</c>

00:13:30.389 --> 00:13:35.309
and<00:13:31.570><c> in</c><00:13:31.809><c> a</c><00:13:31.950><c> very</c><00:13:32.289><c> prosperous</c><00:13:32.710><c> condition</c><00:13:33.389><c> when</c><00:13:34.149><c> the</c><00:13:34.330><c> Gugging</c><00:13:34.629><c> Confederacy</c>

00:13:35.309 --> 00:13:36.789
comes<00:13:35.629><c> down</c><00:13:36.090><c> against</c><00:13:36.450><c> them.</c>

00:13:37.009 --> 00:13:38.070
That's<00:13:37.330><c> the</c><00:13:37.330><c> way</c><00:13:37.429><c> it's</c><00:13:37.629><c> described.</c>

00:13:38.490 --> 00:13:41.629
I<00:13:38.830><c> believe</c><00:13:39.230><c> that</c><00:13:39.690><c> Christ</c><00:13:40.009><c> is</c><00:13:40.330><c> saying</c><00:13:40.610><c> that</c><00:13:41.149><c> the</c><00:13:41.370><c> descriptive</c>

00:13:41.629 --> 00:13:42.509
of<00:13:41.889><c> that</c><00:13:42.129><c> time</c>

00:13:42.509 --> 00:13:45.149
would<00:13:42.629><c> be</c><00:13:43.110><c> the</c><00:13:43.389><c> days</c><00:13:43.549><c> of</c><00:13:43.789><c> Noah</c><00:13:44.029><c> and</c><00:13:44.429><c> the</c><00:13:44.570><c> days</c><00:13:44.750><c> of</c><00:13:44.950><c> Lot.</c>

00:13:45.309 --> 00:13:47.929
Not<00:13:45.570><c> quoting</c><00:13:45.850><c> Genesis,</c><00:13:47.009><c> but</c><00:13:47.129><c> quoting</c><00:13:47.409><c> Jesus.</c>

00:13:48.409 --> 00:13:51.470
Eating,<00:13:48.870><c> drinking,</c><00:13:49.590><c> marrying,</c><00:13:50.029><c> and</c><00:13:50.190><c> giving</c><00:13:50.450><c> in</c><00:13:50.669><c> marriage.</c>

00:13:52.509 --> 00:13:54.389
My<00:13:52.970><c> third</c><00:13:53.289><c> point</c><00:13:53.610><c> is</c><00:13:53.929><c> context.</c>

00:13:54.490 --> 00:13:57.210
This<00:13:54.690><c> part</c><00:13:54.909><c> of</c><00:13:55.110><c> the</c><00:13:55.250><c> alphabet</c><00:13:55.509><c> prophecy</c><00:13:56.009><c> is</c><00:13:56.409><c> directed</c><00:13:56.769><c> to</c>

00:13:57.210 --> 00:13:58.590
natural<00:13:57.610><c> Israel</c>

00:13:59.490 --> 00:14:02.049
when<00:14:00.049><c> Jesus</c><00:14:00.610><c> is</c><00:14:01.129><c> revealed.</c>

00:14:02.450 --> 00:14:03.669
And<00:14:02.690><c> we</c><00:14:02.789><c> will</c><00:14:03.009><c> develop</c><00:14:03.389><c> that.</c>

00:14:03.809 --> 00:14:06.909
Actually,<00:14:04.230><c> we</c><00:14:04.370><c> will</c><00:14:04.590><c> find</c><00:14:04.809><c> that</c><00:14:05.090><c> word</c><00:14:05.409><c> revealed</c><00:14:05.809><c> is</c><00:14:06.049><c> quite</c><00:14:06.269><c> significant.</c>

00:14:07.389 --> 00:14:10.309
It's<00:14:07.690><c> the</c><00:14:07.789><c> word</c><00:14:07.950><c> apoptolipto,</c><00:14:09.169><c> and</c><00:14:09.269><c> it</c><00:14:09.429><c> means</c><00:14:09.669><c> unveiled.</c>

00:14:13.389 --> 00:14:16.269
And<00:14:13.710><c> the</c><00:14:13.710><c> whole</c><00:14:13.950><c> world</c><00:14:14.250><c> is</c><00:14:14.509><c> going</c><00:14:14.710><c> to</c><00:14:14.830><c> know</c><00:14:15.090><c> dramatically</c>

00:14:16.350 --> 00:14:18.870
his<00:14:16.789><c> claim</c><00:14:17.029><c> that</c><00:14:17.350><c> he</c><00:14:17.629><c> is</c><00:14:17.850><c> the</c><00:14:17.970><c> Messiah.</c>

00:14:21.250 --> 00:14:23.690
Now,<00:14:21.970><c> what</c><00:14:22.149><c> I'd</c><00:14:22.350><c> like</c><00:14:22.429><c> you</c><00:14:22.590><c> to</c><00:14:22.730><c> do</c><00:14:22.929><c> is</c><00:14:23.149><c> I'd</c><00:14:23.370><c> like</c><00:14:23.370><c> you</c><00:14:23.490><c> to</c><00:14:23.590><c> open</c>

00:14:27.289 --> 00:14:29.009
I'd<00:14:27.490><c> like</c><00:14:27.529><c> you</c><00:14:27.669><c> to</c><00:14:27.830><c> go</c><00:14:28.029><c> to</c><00:14:28.269><c> Matthew's</c><00:14:28.830><c> account.</c>

So<00:14:39.470><c> we're</c><00:14:39.690><c> going</c><00:14:39.830><c> to</c><00:14:39.990><c> Matthew</c><00:14:40.230><c> chapter</c><00:14:40.669><c> 24.</c>

00:14:43.450 --> 00:14:49.909
And<00:14:43.750><c> we're</c><00:14:43.950><c> going</c><00:14:44.110><c> to</c><00:14:44.289><c> go</c><00:14:44.470><c> in</c><00:14:45.009><c> at</c><00:14:45.850><c> Matthew</c><00:14:46.330><c> verse</c><00:14:46.870><c> 27</c><00:14:47.669><c> and</c><00:14:48.190><c> verse</c><00:14:48.570><c> 28.</c>

the<00:15:02.830><c> interpretation,</c><00:15:03.370><c> I</c><00:15:03.570><c> think,</c><00:15:03.909><c> becomes</c><00:15:04.070><c> quite</c><00:15:04.490><c> clear.</c>

00:15:06.149 --> 00:15:10.669

They<00:17:32.009><c> ask</c><00:17:32.349><c> the</c><00:17:32.589><c> question,</c><00:17:33.009><c> not</c><00:17:33.170><c> when,</c><00:17:34.269><c> but</c><00:17:34.569><c> where.</c>

00:17:36.109 --> 00:17:38.549
Of<00:17:36.410><c> course,</c><00:17:36.789><c> from</c><00:17:36.910><c> Bible</c><00:17:37.210><c> prophecy,</c><00:17:37.809><c> we</c><00:17:37.890><c> know</c><00:17:38.190><c> the</c><00:17:38.410><c> where.</c>

00:17:38.710 --> 00:17:40.690
Christ<00:17:38.910><c> is</c><00:17:39.089><c> going</c><00:17:39.190><c> to</c><00:17:39.349><c> stand</c><00:17:39.569><c> upon</c><00:17:39.890><c> the</c><00:17:40.049><c> Mount</c><00:17:40.210><c> of</c><00:17:40.450><c> Aulves.</c>

00:17:40.750 --> 00:17:41.450
It's<00:17:40.890><c> going</c><00:17:41.029><c> to</c><00:17:41.250><c> split.</c>

00:17:41.930 --> 00:17:45.130
The<00:17:42.109><c> nations</c><00:17:42.430><c> are</c><00:17:42.630><c> going</c><00:17:42.710><c> to</c><00:17:42.829><c> be</c><00:17:42.990><c> gathered</c><00:17:43.150><c> against</c><00:17:43.529><c> Jerusalem</c><00:17:44.049><c> in</c><00:17:44.269><c> the</c><00:17:44.369><c> battle.</c>

00:17:45.410 --> 00:17:48.349
And<00:17:45.890><c> it</c><00:17:46.349><c> fits</c><00:17:46.589><c> the</c><00:17:46.869><c> contracts</c><00:17:47.269><c> beautifully.</c>

00:17:48.650 --> 00:17:52.190
That's<00:17:48.990><c> when</c><00:17:49.170><c> Jesus</c><00:17:49.609><c> is</c><00:17:49.849><c> going</c><00:17:49.950><c> to</c><00:17:50.130><c> be</c><00:17:50.349><c> revealed</c><00:17:50.829><c> as</c><00:17:51.329><c> the</c><00:17:51.490><c> lightning.</c>

00:17:52.250 --> 00:17:55.730
So,<00:17:52.670><c> we</c><00:17:52.730><c> can</c><00:17:53.029><c> see</c><00:17:53.630><c> when</c><00:17:54.009><c> we</c><00:17:54.230><c> put</c><00:17:54.390><c> the</c><00:17:54.750><c> context</c><00:17:55.130><c> on</c><00:17:55.369><c> it,</c>

00:17:55.829 --> 00:17:58.609
the<00:17:55.950><c> days</c><00:17:56.130><c> of</c><00:17:56.369><c> Noah</c><00:17:56.609><c> and</c><00:17:56.849><c> the</c><00:17:57.029><c> days</c><00:17:57.190><c> of</c><00:17:57.369><c> Lot</c><00:17:57.470><c> as</c><00:17:57.829><c> described</c><00:17:58.390><c> in</c>

00:17:58.609 --> 00:17:59.269
the<00:17:58.829><c> context,</c>

00:17:59.369 --> 00:18:02.049
I<00:17:59.769><c> believe,</c><00:18:00.210><c> apply</c><00:18:00.450><c> to</c><00:18:00.670><c> natural</c><00:18:01.049><c> Israel.</c>

00:18:02.250 --> 00:18:03.890
And<00:18:02.529><c> that's</c><00:18:02.789><c> our</c><00:18:02.990><c> conclusion</c><00:18:03.430><c> here.</c>

00:18:04.390 --> 00:18:07.230
The<00:18:04.549><c> days</c><00:18:04.730><c> of</c><00:18:04.950><c> Noah,</c><00:18:05.410><c> days</c><00:18:05.650><c> of</c><00:18:05.849><c> Lot</c><00:18:05.950><c> are</c><00:18:06.250><c> signs</c><00:18:06.569><c> to</c><00:18:06.789><c> Israel,</c>

00:18:07.589 --> 00:18:10.549
and<00:18:07.809><c> why</c><00:18:08.150><c> Jesus</c><00:18:08.609><c> doesn't</c><00:18:09.170><c> quote</c><00:18:09.450><c> Genesis.</c>

00:18:12.849 --> 00:18:16.589
Well,<00:18:13.869><c> we</c><00:18:14.089><c> know</c><00:18:14.529><c> from</c><00:18:15.170><c> Ezekiel</c><00:18:15.710><c> chapter</c><00:18:16.089><c> 38,</c>

00:18:16.750 --> 00:18:19.809
the<00:18:16.970><c> description</c><00:18:17.309><c> of</c><00:18:17.549><c> Israel</c><00:18:18.029><c> when</c><00:18:18.670><c> the</c><00:18:18.869><c> Golden</c><00:18:19.069><c> Confederacy</c>

00:18:19.809 --> 00:18:20.450
comes<00:18:20.150><c> down,</c>

00:18:20.450 --> 00:18:23.069
and<00:18:20.670><c> it</c><00:18:20.730><c> doesn't</c><00:18:21.069><c> fit</c><00:18:21.569><c> the</c><00:18:21.829><c> way</c><00:18:22.049><c> Israel</c><00:18:22.410><c> is</c><00:18:22.670><c> today,</c>

00:18:23.329 --> 00:18:26.150
not<00:18:23.569><c> in</c><00:18:23.750><c> any</c><00:18:24.049><c> shape,</c><00:18:24.509><c> form,</c><00:18:24.910><c> or</c><00:18:25.609><c> whatever.</c>

00:18:26.630 --> 00:18:29.630
We<00:18:26.769><c> know</c><00:18:27.009><c> Israel's</c><00:18:27.589><c> returned</c><00:18:27.869><c> to</c><00:18:28.029><c> their</c><00:18:28.250><c> own</c><00:18:28.470><c> land</c><00:18:28.670><c> in</c><00:18:28.930><c> that.</c>

00:18:29.769 --> 00:18:32.529
But<00:18:29.930><c> look</c><00:18:30.190><c> at</c><00:18:30.309><c> this</c><00:18:30.549><c> description</c><00:18:31.029><c> in</c><00:18:31.250><c> Ezekiel</c><00:18:31.670><c> chapter</c><00:18:32.109><c> 38</c>

00:18:32.529 --> 00:18:33.930
and<00:18:32.730><c> verse</c><00:18:32.990><c> 11.</c>

00:18:33.970 --> 00:18:36.269
To<00:18:34.130><c> the</c><00:18:34.410><c> land,</c><00:18:34.769><c> this</c><00:18:34.930><c> is</c><00:18:35.049><c> this</c><00:18:35.269><c> Golden</c><00:18:35.509><c> Confederacy,</c>

00:18:36.410 --> 00:18:40.170
is<00:18:36.430><c> going</c><00:18:36.569><c> to</c><00:18:36.670><c> come</c><00:18:36.869><c> down</c><00:18:37.150><c> to</c><00:18:37.349><c> the</c><00:18:37.549><c> land</c><00:18:37.950><c> of</c><00:18:38.289><c> unwalled</c><00:18:39.089><c> villages.</c>

00:18:41.029 --> 00:18:43.789
I<00:18:41.269><c> will</c><00:18:41.470><c> go</c><00:18:41.670><c> to</c><00:18:41.809><c> them</c><00:18:42.009><c> that</c><00:18:42.230><c> are</c><00:18:42.470><c> rest,</c><00:18:42.789><c> that</c><00:18:43.029><c> dwells</c><00:18:43.410><c> leafily,</c>

00:18:43.890 --> 00:18:46.869
all<00:18:44.230><c> of</c><00:18:44.369><c> them</c><00:18:44.549><c> dwelling</c><00:18:44.849><c> without</c><00:18:45.450><c> walls,</c><00:18:46.430><c> having</c><00:18:46.549><c> neither</c>

00:18:48.410 --> 00:18:50.710
And<00:18:48.730><c> that</c><00:18:48.970><c> does</c><00:18:49.269><c> not</c><00:18:49.450><c> apply</c><00:18:49.750><c> to</c><00:18:49.930><c> Israel</c><00:18:50.289><c> today.</c>

00:18:51.049 --> 00:18:54.230
Something<00:18:51.470><c> very</c><00:18:51.950><c> significant</c><00:18:52.529><c> has</c><00:18:52.750><c> got</c><00:18:52.890><c> to</c><00:18:53.049><c> take</c><00:18:53.230><c> place.</c>

00:18:54.289 --> 00:18:58.450
And<00:18:54.609><c> we</c><00:18:55.609><c> can</c><00:18:55.910><c> speculate</c><00:18:56.369><c> as</c><00:18:56.690><c> to</c><00:18:56.829><c> what</c><00:18:57.049><c> that</c><00:18:57.470><c> significant</c><00:18:58.009><c> is.</c>

00:18:58.750 --> 00:19:02.630
Right<00:18:59.009><c> now,</c><00:18:59.609><c> we</c><00:18:59.849><c> see</c><00:19:00.150><c> this</c><00:19:00.410><c> wall,</c><00:19:00.730><c> which</c><00:19:00.950><c> is</c><00:19:01.210><c> almost</c><00:19:01.549><c> complete,</c>

00:19:02.650 --> 00:19:07.990
that<00:19:02.890><c> divides</c><00:19:03.509><c> the</c><00:19:04.049><c> West</c><00:19:04.289><c> Bank</c><00:19:04.549><c> from</c><00:19:05.450><c> that</c><00:19:05.950><c> of</c><00:19:06.349><c> the</c><00:19:06.849><c> State</c><00:19:06.990><c> of</c><00:19:07.089><c> Israel.</c>

00:19:09.029 --> 00:19:10.309
Now,<00:19:09.390><c> I</c><00:19:09.529><c> took</c><00:19:09.730><c> this</c><00:19:09.990><c> picture.</c>

00:19:10.329 --> 00:19:12.309
It's<00:19:10.569><c> in</c><00:19:10.789><c> the</c><00:19:10.930><c> West</c><00:19:11.170><c> Bank</c><00:19:11.390><c> of</c><00:19:11.569><c> a</c><00:19:11.650><c> small</c><00:19:11.970><c> village.</c>

00:19:12.309 --> 00:19:14.789
You<00:19:12.470><c> can</c><00:19:12.730><c> see</c><00:19:12.930><c> one</c><00:19:13.130><c> of</c><00:19:13.230><c> the</c><00:19:13.349><c> houses</c><00:19:13.670><c> in</c><00:19:13.910><c> that</c><00:19:14.109><c> back</c><00:19:14.269><c> up</c><00:19:14.470><c> here.</c>

00:19:14.789 --> 00:19:19.329
And<00:19:15.289><c> they're</c><00:19:15.470><c> surrounded</c><00:19:16.029><c> by</c><00:19:16.950><c> bars</c><00:19:17.369><c> and</c><00:19:17.630><c> gates</c><00:19:17.930><c> and</c><00:19:18.210><c> barbed</c><00:19:18.549><c> wire.</c>

00:19:19.710 --> 00:19:23.190
And<00:19:19.710><c> as</c><00:19:20.130><c> you</c><00:19:20.250><c> can</c><00:19:20.450><c> see,</c><00:19:20.630><c> very</c><00:19:20.849><c> difficult</c><00:19:21.450><c> because</c><00:19:21.930><c> they're</c><00:19:22.210><c> afraid</c>

00:19:25.589 --> 00:19:28.990
of<00:19:26.150><c> people</c><00:19:26.710><c> coming</c><00:19:27.009><c> in</c><00:19:27.309><c> and</c><00:19:27.490><c> trying</c><00:19:27.849><c> to</c><00:19:28.049><c> kill</c><00:19:28.230><c> them.</c>

00:19:29.390 --> 00:19:31.529
So<00:19:29.569><c> that's</c><00:19:29.950><c> Israel</c><00:19:30.329><c> today.</c>

00:19:32.789 --> 00:19:35.470
Ezekiel<00:19:33.190><c> 38</c><00:19:33.630><c> verse</c><00:19:33.950><c> 12</c><00:19:34.349><c> says,</c>

00:19:44.029 --> 00:19:45.529
that<00:19:44.349><c> are</c><00:19:44.690><c> now</c><00:19:45.029><c> inhabited.</c>

00:19:45.970 --> 00:19:48.170
And<00:19:46.170><c> we're</c><00:19:46.309><c> seeing</c><00:19:46.529><c> that</c><00:19:46.769><c> they</c><00:19:46.910><c> are</c><00:19:47.190><c> inhabited.</c>

00:19:48.809 --> 00:19:51.269
And<00:19:48.809><c> upon</c><00:19:49.009><c> the</c><00:19:49.250><c> people</c><00:19:49.470><c> that</c><00:19:49.690><c> are</c><00:19:49.890><c> gathered</c><00:19:50.089><c> out</c><00:19:50.430><c> of</c><00:19:50.549><c> the</c><00:19:50.750><c> nations,</c>

the<00:19:54.529><c> land.</c>

00:19:54.809 --> 00:19:57.849
So<00:19:55.210><c> it's</c><00:19:55.549><c> describing</c><00:19:55.869><c> Israel,</c><00:19:56.769><c> certainly</c><00:19:57.230><c> today,</c>

00:19:57.869 --> 00:20:00.710
but<00:19:58.289><c> they've</c><00:19:58.789><c> gotten</c><00:19:58.950><c> cattle</c><00:19:59.430><c> and</c><00:19:59.809><c> goods.</c>

00:20:00.809 --> 00:20:05.490
We<00:20:01.170><c> might</c><00:20:01.470><c> go</c><00:20:01.750><c> on</c><00:20:02.069><c> and</c><00:20:02.210><c> say,</c><00:20:02.529><c> yes,</c><00:20:02.750><c> they</c><00:20:03.049><c> certainly</c><00:20:03.509><c> have</c><00:20:04.130><c> done</c><00:20:04.329><c> that.</c>

00:20:05.750 --> 00:20:09.490
But<00:20:06.309><c> that</c><00:20:06.769><c> dwell</c><00:20:07.029><c> in</c><00:20:07.349><c> the</c><00:20:07.650><c> midst</c><00:20:08.009><c> of</c><00:20:08.430><c> the</c><00:20:08.670><c> land.</c>

00:20:09.690 --> 00:20:12.529
And<00:20:09.869><c> you</c><00:20:09.990><c> look</c><00:20:10.130><c> up</c><00:20:10.329><c> that</c><00:20:10.549><c> word</c><00:20:10.829><c> midst</c><00:20:11.190><c> in</c><00:20:11.470><c> the</c><00:20:11.690><c> Hebrew,</c>

00:20:12.690 --> 00:20:15.589
and<00:20:13.210><c> it</c><00:20:13.549><c> basically</c><00:20:14.089><c> means</c><00:20:14.589><c> just</c><00:20:14.849><c> what</c><00:20:14.970><c> you</c><00:20:15.150><c> would</c><00:20:15.349><c> think,</c>

00:20:15.869 --> 00:20:17.329
the<00:20:16.009><c> middle</c><00:20:16.190><c> of</c><00:20:16.390><c> the</c><00:20:16.529><c> land.</c>

00:20:18.069 --> 00:20:20.470
So<00:20:18.430><c> where's</c><00:20:18.710><c> the</c><00:20:18.890><c> middle</c><00:20:19.049><c> of</c><00:20:19.289><c> the</c><00:20:19.430><c> land</c><00:20:19.589><c> in</c><00:20:19.769><c> Israel</c><00:20:20.130><c> today?</c>

00:20:20.789 --> 00:20:22.950
Well,<00:20:21.109><c> we</c><00:20:21.390><c> would</c><00:20:21.630><c> certainly</c><00:20:21.890><c> say</c><00:20:22.089><c> it's</c><00:20:22.369><c> the</c><00:20:22.470><c> West</c><00:20:22.690><c> Bank,</c>

00:20:23.150 --> 00:20:24.910
which<00:20:23.250><c> comes</c><00:20:23.470><c> down</c><00:20:23.809><c> like</c><00:20:24.150><c> this.</c>

00:20:27.450 --> 00:20:29.589
This<00:20:27.869><c> area</c><00:20:28.190><c> all</c><00:20:28.470><c> in</c><00:20:28.690><c> here.</c>

00:20:29.930 --> 00:20:32.369
And<00:20:30.349><c> this</c><00:20:30.690><c> is</c><00:20:31.029><c> where</c><00:20:31.430><c> the</c><00:20:31.650><c> midst</c><00:20:31.789><c> of</c><00:20:32.009><c> the</c><00:20:32.130><c> land,</c>

00:20:32.549 --> 00:20:34.970
we<00:20:32.730><c> would</c><00:20:33.009><c> say</c><00:20:33.230><c> is</c><00:20:33.390><c> certainly</c><00:20:33.750><c> in</c><00:20:34.150><c> this</c><00:20:34.410><c> area</c><00:20:34.710><c> here.</c>

00:20:34.990 --> 00:20:38.509
But<00:20:35.269><c> we</c><00:20:35.769><c> also</c><00:20:36.089><c> find</c><00:20:36.329><c> it</c><00:20:36.589><c> describes</c><00:20:36.930><c> it</c><00:20:37.250><c> as</c><00:20:37.410><c> the</c><00:20:37.609><c> mountains</c><00:20:37.890><c> of</c><00:20:38.089><c> Israel.</c>

00:20:38.509 --> 00:20:42.410
So<00:20:39.150><c> we're</c><00:20:39.549><c> saying</c><00:20:39.910><c> that</c><00:20:40.130><c> this</c><00:20:40.329><c> applies</c><00:20:40.789><c> to</c><00:20:41.029><c> the</c><00:20:41.289><c> West</c><00:20:41.569><c> Bank,</c>

00:20:42.430 --> 00:20:45.329
and<00:20:42.529><c> Israel</c><00:20:43.049><c> is</c><00:20:43.529><c> going</c><00:20:43.690><c> to</c><00:20:43.829><c> be</c><00:20:44.009><c> dwelling</c><00:20:44.289><c> in</c><00:20:44.690><c> that</c><00:20:44.930><c> area,</c>

00:20:51.109 --> 00:20:53.349
And<00:20:51.109><c> after</c><00:20:51.329><c> many</c><00:20:51.710><c> days</c><00:20:52.170><c> thou</c><00:20:52.450><c> shalt</c><00:20:52.650><c> be</c><00:20:52.930><c> visited,</c>

00:20:53.710 --> 00:20:55.930

00:20:57.509 --> 00:20:59.829
So<00:20:57.769><c> talking</c><00:20:58.049><c> about</c><00:20:58.329><c> our</c><00:20:58.609><c> time,</c><00:20:58.910><c> the</c><00:20:59.049><c> latter</c><00:20:59.250><c> years,</c>

00:21:42.170 --> 00:21:46.250
And<00:21:42.250><c> in</c><00:21:42.450><c> Zachariah's</c><00:21:43.089><c> prophecy,</c><00:21:43.950><c> this</c><00:21:44.390><c> mountain</c><00:21:44.750><c> is</c><00:21:45.150><c> the</c><00:21:45.390><c> split,</c>

to<00:22:15.430><c> carry</c><00:22:15.910><c> away</c><00:22:16.309><c> silver</c><00:22:16.769><c> and</c><00:22:16.970><c> gold,</c>

00:22:17.130 --> 00:22:18.630
so<00:22:17.289><c> they've</c><00:22:17.509><c> gotten</c><00:22:17.750><c> silver</c><00:22:18.150><c> and</c><00:22:18.369><c> gold,</c>

00:22:19.049 --> 00:22:20.529
to<00:22:19.250><c> take</c><00:22:19.410><c> away</c><00:22:19.670><c> cattle</c><00:22:20.049><c> and</c><00:22:20.329><c> goods,</c>

00:22:20.549 --> 00:22:23.309
to<00:22:20.769><c> take</c><00:22:20.970><c> away</c><00:22:21.289><c> a</c><00:22:21.750><c> great</c><00:22:22.309><c> spoil.</c>

00:22:24.769 --> 00:22:26.970
Now,<00:22:25.410><c> Israel</c><00:22:25.750><c> is</c><00:22:25.970><c> a</c><00:22:26.069><c> prosperous</c><00:22:26.369><c> country,</c>

00:22:27.289 --> 00:22:29.990
but<00:22:27.609><c> it</c><00:22:27.930><c> doesn't</c><00:22:28.130><c> quite</c><00:22:28.430><c> fit</c><00:22:28.589><c> this</c><00:22:28.930><c> description</c><00:22:29.329><c> here,</c>

00:22:30.190 --> 00:22:31.150
but<00:22:30.490><c> I</c><00:22:30.650><c> believe</c><00:22:30.829><c> it</c><00:22:31.049><c> will.</c>

00:22:31.150 --> 00:22:33.869
When<00:22:31.569><c> the</c><00:22:31.789><c> Gogian</c><00:22:32.130><c> Confederacy</c><00:22:32.829><c> comes</c><00:22:33.109><c> against</c><00:22:33.509><c> it.</c>

00:22:34.369 --> 00:22:36.410
And<00:22:34.450><c> this</c><00:22:34.630><c> could</c><00:22:34.849><c> be</c><00:22:35.049><c> maybe</c><00:22:35.329><c> one</c><00:22:35.549><c> of</c><00:22:35.670><c> the</c><00:22:35.809><c> things</c><00:22:35.990><c> that</c><00:22:36.190><c> will</c>

00:22:36.410 --> 00:22:38.029
help<00:22:36.630><c> to</c><00:22:36.829><c> bring</c><00:22:36.910><c> that</c><00:22:37.170><c> about.</c>

00:22:38.269 --> 00:22:39.289
We're<00:22:38.490><c> speculating</c><00:22:38.970><c> here,</c>

00:22:39.309 --> 00:22:43.990
but<00:22:39.490><c> there's</c><00:22:39.750><c> been</c><00:22:39.950><c> a</c><00:22:40.250><c> huge</c><00:22:40.569><c> find</c><00:22:41.009><c> of</c><00:22:41.549><c> natural</c><00:22:41.930><c> gas</c><00:22:42.450><c> off</c><00:22:42.930><c> of</c><00:22:43.210><c> Haifa,</c>

00:22:44.450 --> 00:22:49.109
and<00:22:45.009><c> I</c><00:22:45.569><c> believe</c><00:22:45.829><c> that</c><00:22:46.650><c> they</c><00:22:47.049><c> will</c><00:22:47.650><c> become</c><00:22:48.210><c> rich.</c>

00:22:49.130 --> 00:22:51.589
Now,<00:22:49.410><c> they're</c><00:22:49.609><c> certainly</c><00:22:49.849><c> a</c><00:22:50.309><c> prosperous</c><00:22:50.670><c> country</c><00:22:51.190><c> and</c><00:22:51.410><c> that,</c>

00:22:51.849 --> 00:22:54.829
but<00:22:52.190><c> this</c><00:22:52.549><c> could</c><00:22:52.829><c> change</c><00:22:53.150><c> the</c><00:22:53.369><c> whole</c><00:22:53.549><c> situation</c><00:22:54.150><c> in</c><00:22:54.369><c> Israel</c>

00:22:54.829 --> 00:22:56.109
and<00:22:55.329><c> for</c><00:22:55.549><c> the</c><00:22:55.769><c> world,</c>

00:22:56.109 --> 00:23:01.650
because<00:22:56.809><c> we</c><00:22:57.069><c> know</c><00:22:57.750><c> the</c><00:22:58.170><c> pipelines</c><00:22:58.609><c> that</c><00:22:59.049><c> go</c><00:22:59.250><c> through</c><00:23:00.289><c> the</c><00:23:00.630><c> Ukraine</c><00:23:01.150><c> and</c><00:23:01.450><c> that,</c>

00:23:01.710 --> 00:23:05.329
the<00:23:01.930><c> difficulty</c><00:23:02.430><c> that</c><00:23:02.710><c> Europe</c><00:23:02.990><c> is</c><00:23:03.230><c> having</c><00:23:03.450><c> in</c><00:23:03.769><c> getting</c><00:23:03.950><c> natural</c><00:23:04.329><c> gas.</c>

00:23:05.549 --> 00:23:07.309
And<00:23:05.809><c> if</c><00:23:06.009><c> Israel</c><00:23:06.230><c> could</c><00:23:06.529><c> step</c><00:23:06.750><c> right</c><00:23:06.970><c> in</c><00:23:07.170><c> there,</c>

00:23:07.309 --> 00:23:11.329
you<00:23:07.430><c> can</c><00:23:07.690><c> see</c><00:23:07.950><c> just</c><00:23:08.470><c> how</c><00:23:09.329><c> that</c><00:23:09.650><c> would</c><00:23:09.910><c> certainly</c><00:23:10.190><c> help</c><00:23:10.450><c> them.</c>

00:23:12.569 --> 00:23:15.829
When<00:23:12.769><c> will</c><00:23:12.990><c> Israel</c><00:23:13.309><c> draw</c><00:23:13.650><c> without</c><00:23:14.089><c> bars</c><00:23:14.490><c> and</c><00:23:14.789><c> gates</c><00:23:15.009><c> in</c><00:23:15.269><c> our</c><00:23:15.450><c> sequence?</c>

00:23:16.089 --> 00:23:18.930
Let's<00:23:16.369><c> go</c><00:23:16.549><c> back</c><00:23:16.769><c> to</c><00:23:16.930><c> our</c><00:23:17.130><c> sequence</c><00:23:17.450><c> here</c><00:23:17.670><c> just</c><00:23:17.950><c> for</c><00:23:18.069><c> a</c><00:23:18.190><c> minute.</c>

00:23:19.049 --> 00:23:21.329
And<00:23:19.269><c> I</c><00:23:19.390><c> would</c><00:23:19.569><c> suggest</c><00:23:19.990><c> it</c><00:23:20.329><c> happens</c><00:23:20.750><c> about,</c>

00:23:21.730 --> 00:23:26.410
this<00:23:21.990><c> is</c><00:23:22.230><c> thought</c><00:23:22.349><c> to</c><00:23:22.589><c> take</c><00:23:22.750><c> about</c><00:23:23.109><c> 10</c><00:23:23.349><c> years</c><00:23:23.990><c> before</c><00:23:24.529><c> Armageddon</c><00:23:25.170><c> takes</c><00:23:25.470><c> place.</c>

00:23:26.710 --> 00:23:29.269
So<00:23:27.009><c> I</c><00:23:27.130><c> would</c><00:23:27.349><c> suggest</c><00:23:27.789><c> it's</c><00:23:28.130><c> at</c><00:23:28.250><c> this</c><00:23:28.349><c> point</c><00:23:28.569><c> right</c><00:23:28.910><c> here,</c>

00:23:29.390 --> 00:23:31.309
just<00:23:29.630><c> before</c><00:23:29.950><c> Armageddon</c><00:23:30.450><c> takes</c><00:23:30.730><c> place,</c>

00:23:31.549 --> 00:23:37.390
but<00:23:31.829><c> maybe</c><00:23:32.289><c> after</c><00:23:32.970><c> Jesus</c><00:23:33.509><c> returns</c><00:23:33.950><c> as</c><00:23:34.250><c> a</c><00:23:34.470><c> thief</c><00:23:34.750><c> as</c><00:23:35.269><c> far</c><00:23:35.490><c> as</c><00:23:35.630><c> the</c><00:23:35.849><c> world</c><00:23:36.049><c> is</c><00:23:36.349><c> concerned.</c>

00:23:37.589 --> 00:23:39.670
And<00:23:37.990><c> these</c><00:23:38.390><c> events</c><00:23:38.710><c> then</c><00:23:38.950><c> take</c><00:23:39.250><c> place.</c>

00:23:40.150 --> 00:23:41.630
That's<00:23:40.549><c> a</c><00:23:40.630><c> suggestion.</c>

00:23:44.069 --> 00:23:45.549
Then<00:23:44.289><c> in</c><00:23:44.490><c> the</c><00:23:44.650><c> All</c><00:23:44.809><c> But</c><00:23:44.970><c> Prophecy,</c>

00:23:45.650 --> 00:23:48.609
there<00:23:45.789><c> is</c><00:23:46.029><c> a</c><00:23:46.250><c> pause</c><00:23:46.650><c> and</c><00:23:47.589><c> the</c><00:23:47.829><c> pause</c><00:23:48.029><c> has</c><00:23:48.329><c> to</c><00:23:48.509><c> do,</c>

00:23:48.609 --> 00:23:52.170
I<00:23:48.849><c> believe</c><00:23:49.190><c> with</c><00:23:49.690><c> the</c><00:23:50.569><c> sign</c><00:23:50.829><c> that's</c><00:23:51.170><c> given</c><00:23:51.349><c> to</c><00:23:51.730><c> us,</c>

00:23:52.369 --> 00:23:53.809
the<00:23:52.650><c> responsible.</c>

00:23:54.549 --> 00:23:58.630
And<00:23:55.069><c> you</c><00:23:55.589><c> will</c><00:23:55.789><c> notice</c><00:23:56.089><c> the</c><00:23:56.490><c> parable</c><00:23:56.849><c> starts</c><00:23:57.289><c> out</c><00:23:57.549><c> this</c><00:23:57.789><c> way.</c>

00:23:58.769 --> 00:24:02.269
Now,<00:23:59.569><c> so</c><00:23:59.789><c> we're</c><00:24:00.289><c> in</c><00:24:00.529><c> the</c><00:24:00.529><c> emphasis</c><00:24:00.829><c> area,</c><00:24:01.130><c> there's</c><00:24:01.410><c> a</c><00:24:01.609><c> pause</c><00:24:01.829><c> here.</c>

00:24:02.650 --> 00:24:04.670
Learn<00:24:02.930><c> the</c><00:24:03.190><c> parable</c><00:24:03.430><c> of</c><00:24:03.630><c> the</c><00:24:03.890><c> fig</c><00:24:03.890><c> tree.</c>

00:24:05.049 --> 00:24:07.650
And<00:24:05.289><c> we've</c><00:24:05.589><c> all</c><00:24:05.849><c> heard</c><00:24:06.069><c> this</c><00:24:06.410><c> parable</c><00:24:06.750><c> explained</c><00:24:07.230><c> it</c><00:24:07.470><c> many,</c>

00:24:07.650 --> 00:24:08.410
many<00:24:07.950><c> times,</c>

00:24:08.650 --> 00:24:10.930
of<00:24:08.789><c> the</c><00:24:08.970><c> tree</c><00:24:09.109><c> being</c><00:24:09.390><c> a</c><00:24:09.630><c> symbol</c><00:24:09.789><c> of</c><00:24:09.990><c> the</c><00:24:10.150><c> nation</c><00:24:10.369><c> of</c><00:24:10.569><c> Israel.</c>

00:24:11.369 --> 00:24:14.210

00:24:14.369 --> 00:24:18.329
Verily<00:24:14.730><c> I</c><00:24:14.930><c> say</c><00:24:15.049><c> unto</c><00:24:15.250><c> you,</c><00:24:15.829><c> this</c><00:24:16.109><c> generation</c><00:24:16.809><c> shall</c><00:24:17.049><c> not</c><00:24:17.329><c> pass.</c>

00:24:18.769 --> 00:24:20.750
And<00:24:19.130><c> we</c><00:24:19.390><c> ask</c><00:24:19.650><c> the</c><00:24:19.849><c> question,</c><00:24:20.230><c> of</c><00:24:20.450><c> course,</c>

00:24:20.750 --> 00:24:24.069

00:24:24.230 --> 00:24:25.869
we<00:24:24.289><c> want</c><00:24:24.430><c> to</c><00:24:24.549><c> be</c><00:24:24.650><c> able</c><00:24:24.869><c> to</c><00:24:24.990><c> prove</c><00:24:25.109><c> that</c><00:24:25.329><c> it's</c><00:24:25.470><c> Israel.</c>

00:24:26.150 --> 00:24:27.230
That's<00:24:26.410><c> easy</c><00:24:26.670><c> to</c><00:24:26.910><c> do.</c>

00:24:27.730 --> 00:24:30.009
We<00:24:27.930><c> know</c><00:24:28.109><c> that</c><00:24:28.329><c> Christ</c><00:24:28.630><c> cursed</c><00:24:28.990><c> a</c><00:24:29.250><c> literal</c><00:24:29.569><c> fig</c><00:24:29.789><c> tree,</c>

00:24:30.029 --> 00:24:31.670
which<00:24:30.210><c> wouldn't</c><00:24:30.410><c> make</c><00:24:30.650><c> any</c><00:24:30.829><c> sense</c><00:24:31.089><c> at</c><00:24:31.309><c> all.</c>

00:24:31.950 --> 00:24:34.650

I<00:25:22.890><c> would</c><00:25:23.069><c> suggest</c><00:25:23.529><c> we</c><00:25:23.750><c> stay</c><00:25:24.049><c> in</c><00:25:24.329><c> Matthew.</c>

00:25:29.890 --> 00:25:31.690
Actually,<00:25:30.190><c> we</c><00:25:30.390><c> have</c><00:25:30.549><c> 14</c><00:25:31.049><c> generations</c>

00:25:36.809 --> 00:25:39.289
And<00:25:37.130><c> if</c><00:25:37.269><c> you</c><00:25:37.430><c> divide</c><00:25:37.690><c> that</c><00:25:37.910><c> by</c><00:25:38.170><c> 14,</c>

00:25:39.309 --> 00:25:42.990

00:25:50.670 --> 00:25:54.970

We<00:25:56.890><c> can</c><00:25:57.089><c> see</c><00:25:57.210><c> it</c><00:25:57.349><c> varies.</c>

00:25:58.269 --> 00:25:59.829
And<00:25:58.529><c> it</c><00:25:58.650><c> goes</c><00:25:58.869><c> on</c><00:25:59.190><c> and</c><00:25:59.410><c> says,</c>

00:25:59.950 --> 00:26:02.970
and<00:26:00.349><c> from</c><00:26:00.569><c> the</c><00:26:00.750><c> carrying</c><00:26:01.029><c> away</c><00:26:01.190><c> of</c><00:26:01.450><c> Babylon</c><00:26:01.750><c> to</c><00:26:02.529><c> Christ,</c>

00:26:03.410 --> 00:26:06.210
our<00:26:03.549><c> 14</c><00:26:04.049><c> generations,</c><00:26:04.710><c> that's</c><00:26:05.009><c> about</c><00:26:05.289><c> 600</c><00:26:05.730><c> years.</c>

00:26:06.529 --> 00:26:10.369
And<00:26:07.130><c> we</c><00:26:07.390><c> get</c><00:26:07.529><c> about</c><00:26:07.809><c> a</c><00:26:08.089><c> 42</c><00:26:08.609><c> year</c><00:26:09.210><c> generation.</c>

00:26:10.430 --> 00:26:11.769
So<00:26:10.690><c> it</c><00:26:10.869><c> varies.</c>

00:26:13.029 --> 00:26:15.109
Does<00:26:13.329><c> that</c><00:26:13.589><c> help</c><00:26:13.710><c> us</c><00:26:13.910><c> very</c><00:26:14.170><c> much?</c>

00:26:15.549 --> 00:26:19.650
Well,<00:26:17.009><c> we</c><00:26:17.529><c> further</c><00:26:17.930><c> need</c><00:26:18.289><c> to</c><00:26:18.490><c> be</c><00:26:18.690><c> careful.</c>

00:26:20.289 --> 00:26:21.869
I<00:26:20.609><c> believe</c><00:26:20.869><c> it</c><00:26:21.069><c> does</c><00:26:21.289><c> help</c><00:26:21.589><c> us</c>

00:26:25.910 --> 00:26:28.589
it's<00:26:26.089><c> a</c><00:26:26.289><c> generation</c><00:26:26.890><c> that</c><00:26:27.930><c> did</c><00:26:28.329><c> what?</c>

00:26:28.750 --> 00:26:33.210
Well,<00:26:29.029><c> witnessed</c><00:26:29.650><c> Israel</c><00:26:30.509><c> becoming</c><00:26:30.869><c> a</c><00:26:31.049><c> nation</c><00:26:31.269><c> again</c><00:26:31.609><c> in</c><00:26:32.009><c> 1948.</c>

00:26:33.990 --> 00:26:35.670

00:26:42.690 --> 00:26:44.730
Not<00:26:42.930><c> many</c><00:26:43.150><c> would</c><00:26:43.329><c> raise</c><00:26:43.569><c> their</c><00:26:43.750><c> hands.</c>

00:26:47.569 --> 00:26:50.789
I<00:26:47.569><c> think</c><00:26:47.789><c> you</c><00:26:48.309><c> have</c><00:26:48.529><c> to</c><00:26:48.690><c> be</c><00:26:48.890><c> at</c><00:26:49.130><c> least</c><00:26:49.329><c> in</c><00:26:49.490><c> your</c><00:26:49.630><c> late</c><00:26:49.869><c> 60s</c>

00:26:56.130 --> 00:26:58.150
Now,<00:26:56.710><c> we</c><00:26:57.029><c> also</c><00:26:57.329><c> need</c><00:26:57.490><c> to</c><00:26:57.630><c> be</c><00:26:57.849><c> careful.</c>

00:26:58.430 --> 00:27:02.109

But<00:27:02.549><c> we</c><00:27:02.769><c> need</c><00:27:02.910><c> to</c><00:27:03.089><c> be</c><00:27:03.329><c> wise</c><00:27:03.609><c> here</c>

because<00:27:04.289><c> many</c><00:27:04.609><c> have</c><00:27:05.150><c> predicted</c><00:27:05.650><c> when</c><00:27:05.910><c> Christ</c><00:27:06.150><c> is</c><00:27:06.349><c> going</c><00:27:06.490><c> to</c><00:27:06.769><c> return</c>

00:27:07.130 --> 00:27:08.769
and<00:27:07.730><c> he</c><00:27:07.950><c> hasn't</c><00:27:08.230><c> returned.</c>

00:27:08.930 --> 00:27:10.609
And<00:27:09.190><c> that</c><00:27:09.430><c> doesn't</c><00:27:09.730><c> help.</c>

00:27:12.569 --> 00:27:14.950
We<00:27:13.130><c> need</c><00:27:13.690><c> to</c><00:27:14.529><c> try.</c>

00:27:15.089 --> 00:27:16.289
There's<00:27:15.190><c> nothing</c><00:27:15.349><c> wrong</c><00:27:15.630><c> in</c><00:27:15.910><c> that.</c>

00:27:16.410 --> 00:27:18.890
But<00:27:16.750><c> we</c><00:27:17.190><c> must</c><00:27:17.410><c> not</c><00:27:17.670><c> be</c><00:27:17.849><c> dogmatic.</c>

00:27:19.170 --> 00:27:23.950
Now,<00:27:19.369><c> here</c><00:27:19.650><c> is</c><00:27:19.890><c> a</c><00:27:20.049><c> BBC</c><00:27:20.509><c> article</c><00:27:21.150><c> back</c><00:27:22.109><c> four</c><00:27:23.430><c> years</c><00:27:23.710><c> ago,</c>

00:27:24.049 --> 00:27:25.130
but<00:27:24.150><c> it</c><00:27:24.250><c> was</c><00:27:24.410><c> quite</c><00:27:24.589><c> interesting.</c>

00:27:25.250 --> 00:27:26.089
It<00:27:25.390><c> said,</c>

00:27:26.250 --> 00:27:29.009
scientists<00:27:26.250><c> in</c><00:27:26.950><c> the</c><00:27:27.130><c> United</c><00:27:27.390><c> States</c><00:27:27.690><c> have</c><00:27:27.910><c> discovered</c><00:27:28.430><c> a</c><00:27:28.769><c> gene</c>

00:27:29.009 --> 00:27:33.410
that<00:27:29.349><c> can</c><00:27:29.589><c> keep</c><00:27:29.809><c> mice</c><00:27:30.170><c> alive</c><00:27:30.609><c> for</c><00:27:31.009><c> 30</c><00:27:31.430><c>%</c><00:27:31.769><c> longer</c><00:27:32.170><c> than</c><00:27:32.430><c> normal.</c>

00:27:35.430 --> 00:27:38.130
They<00:27:35.990><c> say</c><00:27:36.190><c> that</c><00:27:36.450><c> the</c><00:27:36.589><c> gene</c><00:27:36.750><c> has</c><00:27:37.029><c> a</c><00:27:37.210><c> key</c><00:27:37.410><c> role</c><00:27:37.670><c> to</c><00:27:37.990><c> play</c>

00:27:38.130 --> 00:27:41.569
in<00:27:38.289><c> many</c><00:27:38.569><c> of</c><00:27:38.829><c> the</c><00:27:39.150><c> processes</c><00:27:39.690><c> relating</c><00:27:40.309><c> to</c><00:27:40.730><c> aging.</c>

00:27:43.029 --> 00:27:44.690
And<00:27:43.349><c> here's</c><00:27:43.490><c> what</c><00:27:43.630><c> they've</c><00:27:43.849><c> been</c><00:27:44.009><c> able</c><00:27:44.170><c> to</c><00:27:44.369><c> do.</c>

00:27:45.150 --> 00:27:46.430
Now,<00:27:45.490><c> researchers</c><00:27:45.890><c> have</c><00:27:46.190><c> shown</c>

00:27:46.430 --> 00:27:48.869
that<00:27:46.670><c> by</c><00:27:47.029><c> boosting</c><00:27:47.430><c> the</c><00:27:47.890><c> activity</c><00:27:48.190><c> of</c><00:27:48.450><c> the</c><00:27:48.650><c> gene,</c>

00:27:49.230 --> 00:27:52.049
they<00:27:49.410><c> can</c><00:27:49.730><c> extend</c><00:27:50.009><c> the</c><00:27:50.269><c> natural</c><00:27:50.609><c> life</c><00:27:50.829><c> of</c><00:27:51.150><c> male</c><00:27:51.589><c> mice</c>

00:27:52.049 --> 00:27:54.269
from<00:27:52.630><c> two</c><00:27:52.890><c> to</c><00:27:53.049><c> three</c><00:27:53.369><c> years.</c>

00:27:55.750 --> 00:27:58.589
Now,<00:27:56.009><c> I</c><00:27:56.170><c> don't</c><00:27:56.430><c> think</c><00:27:56.650><c> I</c><00:27:56.829><c> want</c><00:27:57.029><c> to</c><00:27:57.150><c> see</c><00:27:57.269><c> mice</c><00:27:57.609><c> extended</c><00:27:58.069><c> life</c>

00:27:58.589 --> 00:28:00.150
from<00:27:59.109><c> two</c><00:27:59.650><c> to</c><00:27:59.789><c> three</c><00:28:00.009><c> years,</c>

00:28:00.170 --> 00:28:02.009
particularly<00:28:00.589><c> if</c><00:28:00.710><c> you've</c><00:28:00.789><c> ever</c><00:28:00.990><c> been</c><00:28:01.109><c> up</c><00:28:01.309><c> at</c><00:28:01.490><c> Manitoulin</c>

00:28:02.009 --> 00:28:04.210
and<00:28:02.230><c> you</c><00:28:02.390><c> have</c><00:28:02.650><c> mice</c><00:28:03.049><c> in</c><00:28:03.170><c> your</c><00:28:03.450><c> throat.</c>

00:28:05.349 --> 00:28:09.769
But<00:28:06.069><c> it's</c><00:28:06.789><c> interesting</c><00:28:07.329><c> if</c><00:28:07.809><c> mankind</c><00:28:08.349><c> can</c><00:28:08.650><c> do</c><00:28:08.910><c> that.</c>

00:28:10.490 --> 00:28:13.930
Well,<00:28:10.910><c> we</c><00:28:11.230><c> see</c><00:28:11.410><c> what</c><00:28:11.630><c> God</c><00:28:11.869><c> did</c><00:28:12.109><c> in</c><00:28:12.349><c> reverse,</c><00:28:12.869><c> actually.</c>

00:28:14.089 --> 00:28:18.589
If<00:28:14.329><c> we</c><00:28:14.450><c> go</c><00:28:14.730><c> back</c><00:28:15.289><c> and</c><00:28:15.829><c> we</c><00:28:16.230><c> look</c><00:28:16.450><c> at</c><00:28:16.849><c> Genesis</c><00:28:17.210><c> 6</c><00:28:17.569><c> and</c><00:28:17.730><c> 3,</c>

00:28:18.869 --> 00:28:21.829
man<00:28:19.049><c> was</c><00:28:19.289><c> living</c><00:28:19.789><c> well</c><00:28:20.529><c> over</c><00:28:20.890><c> 900</c><00:28:21.210><c> years</c>

00:28:21.829 --> 00:28:26.150
and<00:28:22.650><c> his</c><00:28:22.910><c> life</c><00:28:23.170><c> span</c><00:28:23.750><c> was</c><00:28:23.990><c> reduced</c><00:28:24.450><c> to</c><00:28:24.930><c> 120</c><00:28:25.569><c> years</c>

00:28:26.150 --> 00:28:28.609
in<00:28:26.589><c> Genesis</c><00:28:26.950><c> 6</c><00:28:27.329><c> and</c><00:28:27.470><c> 3.</c>

00:28:28.869 --> 00:28:32.109
We<00:28:29.109><c> also</c><00:28:29.470><c> find</c><00:28:29.910><c> in</c><00:28:30.190><c> Psalm</c><00:28:30.509><c> 90</c><00:28:30.970><c> and</c><00:28:31.190><c> verse</c><00:28:31.490><c> 10</c>

00:28:32.109 --> 00:28:36.650
that<00:28:32.630><c> it</c><00:28:32.710><c> was</c><00:28:32.970><c> reduced</c><00:28:33.289><c> again</c><00:28:33.789><c> to</c><00:28:34.269><c> three</c><00:28:34.710><c> score</c><00:28:35.210><c> years</c><00:28:35.809><c> and</c><00:28:36.309><c> 10</c>

00:28:36.650 --> 00:28:37.890
to<00:28:36.970><c> 70.</c>

00:28:38.650 --> 00:28:40.950
So<00:28:38.990><c> it</c><00:28:39.130><c> has</c><00:28:39.349><c> been</c><00:28:39.549><c> done</c><00:28:39.710><c> in</c><00:28:39.930><c> the</c><00:28:40.069><c> past.</c>

00:28:40.990 --> 00:28:43.269
So<00:28:41.130><c> it</c><00:28:41.289><c> may</c><00:28:41.349><c> be</c><00:28:41.569><c> possible</c><00:28:41.950><c> today</c><00:28:42.309><c> to</c><00:28:42.549><c> see</c><00:28:42.690><c> an</c><00:28:42.990><c> extension</c>

00:28:43.269 --> 00:28:44.650
to<00:28:43.569><c> the</c><00:28:43.730><c> life</c><00:28:43.869><c> of</c><00:28:44.069><c> the</c><00:28:44.210><c> generation</c>

00:28:44.650 --> 00:28:48.329
that<00:28:44.950><c> witnessed</c><00:28:45.269><c> Israel</c><00:28:45.750><c> become</c><00:28:46.089><c> a</c><00:28:46.369><c> nation</c><00:28:46.589><c> in</c><00:28:46.970><c> 1948.</c>

00:28:48.509 --> 00:28:51.150
And<00:28:48.730><c> so</c><00:28:48.930><c> that</c><00:28:49.650><c> generation</c><00:28:50.269><c> would</c><00:28:50.509><c> live</c><00:28:50.710><c> longer</c>

00:28:51.150 --> 00:28:53.809
and<00:28:51.670><c> they</c><00:28:51.829><c> would</c><00:28:51.990><c> be,</c><00:28:52.190><c> of</c><00:28:52.329><c> course,</c><00:28:52.549><c> the</c><00:28:52.690><c> ones</c><00:28:52.849><c> that</c><00:28:53.089><c> would</c><00:28:53.289><c> remember</c>

00:28:53.809 --> 00:28:55.589
and<00:28:54.250><c> they</c><00:28:54.490><c> also</c><00:28:54.829><c> would</c><00:28:54.970><c> be</c><00:28:55.170><c> the</c><00:28:55.369><c> ones</c>

00:28:55.589 --> 00:28:58.230
that<00:28:55.789><c> would</c><00:28:56.029><c> witness</c><00:28:56.509><c> Jesus'</c><00:28:57.670><c> return.</c>

00:28:58.809 --> 00:29:01.769
We<00:28:59.089><c> therefore</c><00:28:59.430><c> need</c><00:28:59.630><c> to</c><00:28:59.789><c> be</c><00:29:00.029><c> careful</c><00:29:00.490><c> in</c><00:29:00.849><c> our</c><00:29:01.069><c> interpretation</c>

00:29:01.769 --> 00:29:03.130
of<00:29:02.089><c> the</c><00:29:02.269><c> Parable</c><00:29:02.630><c> of</c><00:29:02.750><c> the</c><00:29:02.930><c> Fig</c><00:29:02.990><c> Tree.</c>

00:29:03.210 --> 00:29:04.990
I<00:29:03.210><c> think</c><00:29:03.369><c> it</c><00:29:03.490><c> puts</c><00:29:03.710><c> us</c><00:29:03.910><c> in</c><00:29:03.990><c> the</c><00:29:04.150><c> ballpark</c>

00:29:05.990 --> 00:29:10.910
and<00:29:06.450><c> that</c><00:29:06.650><c> we</c><00:29:06.730><c> haven't</c><00:29:07.029><c> seen</c><00:29:07.890><c> the</c><00:29:08.829><c> extension</c><00:29:09.450><c> of</c><00:29:09.650><c> man's</c><00:29:10.049><c> life.</c>

00:29:11.710 --> 00:29:15.809
It's<00:29:12.170><c> been</c><00:29:12.410><c> increased,</c><00:29:12.869><c> but</c><00:29:13.130><c> not</c><00:29:14.250><c> dramatically</c><00:29:15.170><c> so,</c>

00:29:15.849 --> 00:29:18.509
not<00:29:16.230><c> by</c><00:29:16.450><c> the</c><00:29:16.710><c> manipulation</c><00:29:17.329><c> of</c><00:29:17.609><c> genes.</c>

00:29:19.869 --> 00:29:23.150
Okay,<00:29:20.009><c> coming</c><00:29:20.230><c> back</c><00:29:20.589><c> to</c><00:29:20.789><c> Mark's</c><00:29:21.190><c> account</c><00:29:21.490><c> of</c><00:29:21.990><c> this</c><00:29:22.789><c> sign,</c>

00:29:23.210 --> 00:29:25.630
I<00:29:23.329><c> believe</c><00:29:23.529><c> it's</c><00:29:23.710><c> given</c><00:29:23.869><c> to</c><00:29:24.069><c> us</c><00:29:24.309><c> in</c><00:29:24.509><c> the</c><00:29:24.690><c> All</c><00:29:24.849><c> That</c><00:29:24.970><c> Prophecy.</c>

00:29:25.930 --> 00:29:27.990
We're<00:29:26.150><c> going</c><00:29:26.230><c> to</c><00:29:26.309><c> go</c><00:29:26.430><c> in</c><00:29:26.569><c> at</c><00:29:26.710><c> Mark's</c><00:29:27.109><c> account</c><00:29:27.309><c> this</c><00:29:27.609><c> time,</c>

00:29:28.170 --> 00:29:30.789

00:29:30.930 --> 00:29:33.210
First,<00:29:31.329><c> we</c><00:29:31.529><c> have</c><00:29:31.710><c> the</c><00:29:31.910><c> questions</c><00:29:32.230><c> that</c><00:29:32.470><c> are</c><00:29:32.589><c> asked,</c><00:29:32.970><c> Christ,</c>

00:29:33.250 --> 00:29:35.029
at<00:29:33.390><c> the</c><00:29:33.630><c> beginning</c><00:29:33.849><c> of</c><00:29:34.049><c> the</c><00:29:34.210><c> All</c><00:29:34.369><c> That</c><00:29:34.470><c> Prophecy.</c>

00:29:35.170 --> 00:29:37.049
Tell<00:29:35.309><c> us,</c><00:29:35.650><c> when</c><00:29:35.829><c> shall</c><00:29:36.069><c> these</c><00:29:36.349><c> things</c><00:29:36.609><c> be?</c>

00:29:37.329 --> 00:29:39.269
And<00:29:37.630><c> I</c><00:29:37.789><c> believe</c><00:29:37.950><c> the</c><00:29:38.230><c> context</c><00:29:38.569><c> here</c><00:29:38.829><c> has</c><00:29:39.109><c> that</c>

00:29:39.269 --> 00:29:41.390
there<00:29:39.410><c> won't</c><00:29:39.569><c> be</c><00:29:39.750><c> one</c><00:29:40.009><c> stone</c><00:29:40.210><c> upon</c><00:29:40.490><c> another.</c>

00:29:42.609 --> 00:29:44.829
And<00:29:43.109><c> what</c><00:29:43.609><c> shall</c><00:29:43.970><c> be</c><00:29:44.349><c> the</c><00:29:44.589><c> sign</c>

00:29:44.829 --> 00:29:47.490
when<00:29:45.069><c> all</c><00:29:45.529><c> these</c><00:29:45.890><c> things</c><00:29:46.210><c> shall</c><00:29:46.549><c> be</c><00:29:46.930><c> fulfilled?</c>

00:29:47.769 --> 00:29:50.230
And<00:29:47.970><c> this</c><00:29:48.170><c> is</c><00:29:48.430><c> kind</c><00:29:48.589><c> of</c><00:29:48.789><c> key,</c><00:29:49.009><c> I'll</c><00:29:49.210><c> show</c><00:29:49.369><c> why.</c>

00:29:51.930 --> 00:29:54.329
So<00:29:52.289><c> these</c><00:29:52.529><c> things,</c><00:29:53.109><c> not</c><00:29:53.230><c> one</c><00:29:53.509><c> stone</c><00:29:53.710><c> upon</c><00:29:54.009><c> another,</c>

00:29:54.369 --> 00:29:57.789
that's<00:29:54.710><c> verse</c><00:29:55.009><c> two,</c><00:29:56.609><c> that's</c><00:29:57.150><c> the</c><00:29:57.269><c> context,</c>

00:29:57.789 --> 00:30:00.829
which<00:29:58.589><c> completely</c><00:29:59.369><c> happened.</c>

00:30:02.049 --> 00:30:04.250
Well,<00:30:02.450><c> did</c><00:30:02.630><c> it</c><00:30:02.910><c> completely</c><00:30:03.250><c> happen?</c>

00:30:04.289 --> 00:30:08.049
We<00:30:04.490><c> know</c><00:30:04.730><c> when</c><00:30:06.430><c> Titus</c><00:30:06.869><c> came</c><00:30:07.130><c> through</c><00:30:07.309><c> in</c><00:30:07.430><c> the</c><00:30:07.509><c> Roman</c><00:30:07.710><c> armies</c>

00:30:08.049 --> 00:30:08.369
and<00:30:08.269><c> that,</c>

00:30:08.509 --> 00:30:12.069
they<00:30:08.650><c> destroyed</c><00:30:09.230><c> certainly</c><00:30:10.029><c> Jerusalem</c><00:30:10.769><c> and</c><00:30:11.650><c> the</c><00:30:11.809><c> temple.</c>

00:30:12.289 --> 00:30:14.349
In<00:30:12.509><c> fact,</c><00:30:12.670><c> they</c><00:30:12.910><c> destroyed</c><00:30:13.289><c> the</c><00:30:13.569><c> temple,</c><00:30:13.950><c> the</c><00:30:14.130><c> walls,</c>

00:30:14.490 --> 00:30:15.549
and<00:30:14.549><c> everything</c><00:30:14.849><c> about</c><00:30:15.150><c> the</c><00:30:15.369><c> temple.</c>

00:30:15.690 --> 00:30:19.170
They<00:30:15.710><c> were</c><00:30:15.869><c> looking</c><00:30:16.089><c> for</c><00:30:16.349><c> gold</c><00:30:16.710><c> within</c><00:30:17.130><c> the</c><00:30:18.089><c> stones</c><00:30:18.450><c> thereof.</c>

00:30:19.589 --> 00:30:21.630
And<00:30:19.769><c> there's</c><00:30:19.970><c> nothing</c><00:30:20.190><c> left</c><00:30:20.490><c> of</c><00:30:20.730><c> that.</c>

00:30:21.670 --> 00:30:24.730
But<00:30:21.829><c> it</c><00:30:21.990><c> tells</c><00:30:22.269><c> us</c><00:30:22.549><c> it's</c><00:30:22.890><c> the</c><00:30:23.170><c> buildings</c><00:30:23.630><c> of</c><00:30:24.150><c> the</c><00:30:24.329><c> temple</c>

00:30:24.730 --> 00:30:26.210
and<00:30:25.130><c> it's</c><00:30:25.390><c> plural.</c>

00:30:27.069 --> 00:30:30.789
So<00:30:27.349><c> rather</c><00:30:27.509><c> that</c><00:30:27.809><c> includes</c><00:30:28.470><c> these</c><00:30:29.630><c> type</c><00:30:29.869><c> of</c><00:30:30.049><c> stones</c><00:30:30.269><c> out</c><00:30:30.549><c> here</c>

00:30:30.789 --> 00:30:37.490
in<00:30:31.069><c> the</c><00:30:32.170><c> south</c><00:30:32.250><c> wall</c><00:30:34.509><c> of</c><00:30:36.029><c> the</c><00:30:36.490><c> old</c><00:30:36.630><c> city</c><00:30:36.869><c> of</c><00:30:37.069><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:30:37.670 --> 00:30:43.309
and<00:30:37.829><c> this</c><00:30:38.029><c> was</c><00:30:38.170><c> built</c><00:30:38.529><c> long</c><00:30:39.069><c> after</c><00:30:40.710><c> Titus</c><00:30:42.369><c> in</c><00:30:42.670><c> AD</c><00:30:42.910><c> 70.</c>

00:30:43.710 --> 00:30:48.950
But<00:30:43.890><c> these</c><00:30:44.630><c> steps</c><00:30:44.950><c> here,</c><00:30:46.369><c> some</c><00:30:46.650><c> of</c><00:30:46.730><c> them</c><00:30:46.789><c> go</c><00:30:46.970><c> back</c><00:30:47.250><c> to</c><00:30:47.430><c> the</c><00:30:47.589><c> time</c><00:30:47.789><c> of</c><00:30:47.930><c> Jesus</c>

00:30:49.230 --> 00:30:51.609
and<00:30:49.789><c> you</c><00:30:50.349><c> could</c><00:30:50.549><c> walk</c><00:30:50.789><c> on</c><00:30:50.950><c> the</c><00:30:51.109><c> same</c><00:30:51.349><c> steps</c>

00:30:51.609 --> 00:30:54.009
they<00:30:51.990><c> probably</c><00:30:52.309><c> came</c><00:30:52.450><c> out</c><00:30:52.630><c> of</c><00:30:52.750><c> the</c><00:30:52.890><c> temple</c><00:30:53.190><c> on.</c>

00:30:54.289 --> 00:30:58.210
So<00:30:54.809><c> that,</c><00:30:55.250><c> and</c><00:30:55.470><c> we</c><00:30:55.630><c> do</c><00:30:55.829><c> see</c><00:30:56.089><c> stones</c><00:30:56.430><c> one</c><00:30:56.690><c> upon</c><00:30:56.990><c> another</c><00:30:57.329><c> here.</c>

00:30:58.250 --> 00:31:00.890
But<00:30:58.609><c> certainly,</c><00:30:59.509><c> and</c><00:30:59.750><c> often</c><00:30:59.950><c> in</c><00:31:00.170><c> Bible</c><00:31:00.470><c> prophecy,</c>

00:31:00.970 --> 00:31:04.650
we<00:31:01.190><c> have</c><00:31:01.529><c> a</c><00:31:01.789><c> partial</c><00:31:02.089><c> fulfillment</c><00:31:02.650><c> and</c><00:31:03.190><c> a</c><00:31:03.410><c> full</c><00:31:03.650><c> fulfillment.</c>

00:31:05.049 --> 00:31:07.369
And<00:31:05.309><c> so</c><00:31:05.430><c> we</c><00:31:05.549><c> could</c><00:31:05.670><c> say</c><00:31:05.849><c> maybe</c><00:31:06.049><c> the</c><00:31:06.269><c> partial</c><00:31:06.569><c> fulfillment</c><00:31:07.109><c> was</c>

00:31:07.369 --> 00:31:08.289
in<00:31:07.589><c> AD</c><00:31:07.789><c> 70</c>

00:31:08.289 --> 00:31:12.690
or<00:31:08.650><c> when</c><00:31:09.769><c> 135,</c><00:31:11.349><c> they</c><00:31:11.509><c> came</c><00:31:11.730><c> along</c><00:31:11.950><c> the</c><00:31:12.109><c> Romans</c><00:31:12.329><c> again</c>

00:31:12.690 --> 00:31:15.430
and<00:31:12.849><c> they</c><00:31:13.089><c> plowed</c><00:31:13.349><c> this</c><00:31:13.829><c> whole</c><00:31:14.109><c> area</c><00:31:14.309><c> as</c><00:31:14.509><c> a</c><00:31:14.650><c> field.</c>

00:31:15.730 --> 00:31:19.170
But<00:31:16.130><c> certainly</c><00:31:16.589><c> in</c><00:31:16.829><c> the</c><00:31:17.009><c> earthquake</c><00:31:17.289><c> that's</c><00:31:17.849><c> described</c><00:31:18.170><c> in</c>

00:31:19.390 --> 00:31:22.329
in<00:31:19.670><c> verse</c><00:31:19.990><c> four,</c><00:31:20.549><c> when</c><00:31:20.549><c> Jesus</c><00:31:21.029><c> stands</c><00:31:21.450><c> upon</c><00:31:21.809><c> the</c><00:31:21.990><c> Mount</c><00:31:22.109><c> of</c>

00:31:22.329 --> 00:31:23.809
Olives<00:31:22.650><c> and</c><00:31:23.009><c> splits,</c>

00:31:23.829 --> 00:31:27.029
that<00:31:24.250><c> could</c><00:31:24.549><c> certainly</c><00:31:25.150><c> complete</c><00:31:25.549><c> that</c><00:31:25.910><c> prophecy</c><00:31:26.230><c> completely</c>

00:31:27.029 --> 00:31:30.170
when<00:31:27.750><c> there</c><00:31:27.890><c> would</c><00:31:28.089><c> be</c><00:31:28.269><c> not</c><00:31:28.490><c> one</c><00:31:28.710><c> stone</c><00:31:28.930><c> upon</c><00:31:29.210><c> another.</c>

00:31:30.710 --> 00:31:35.450
So<00:31:30.950><c> what</c><00:31:31.230><c> is</c><00:31:31.509><c> the</c><00:31:31.809><c> sign</c><00:31:32.150><c> when</c><00:31:32.490><c> all</c><00:31:32.950><c> these</c><00:31:33.289><c> things</c><00:31:33.869><c> shall</c><00:31:34.349><c> be</c><00:31:34.950><c> fulfilled?</c>

00:31:35.690 --> 00:31:39.069
That's<00:31:36.150><c> the</c><00:31:36.329><c> key</c><00:31:36.609><c> here</c><00:31:37.230><c> that</c><00:31:37.410><c> we're</c><00:31:37.650><c> trying</c><00:31:37.829><c> to</c><00:31:38.130><c> establish.</c>

00:31:40.730 --> 00:31:42.529
Well,<00:31:41.029><c> if</c><00:31:41.269><c> we</c><00:31:41.430><c> go</c><00:31:41.609><c> with</c><00:31:41.809><c> Matthew</c><00:31:42.049><c> 13</c>

00:31:42.529 --> 00:31:45.170
and<00:31:42.730><c> we</c><00:31:42.890><c> look</c><00:31:43.029><c> at</c><00:31:43.190><c> the</c><00:31:43.329><c> parable</c><00:31:43.569><c> of</c><00:31:43.829><c> the</c><00:31:44.009><c> fig</c><00:31:44.009><c> tree</c><00:31:44.190><c> again,</c>

00:31:45.269 --> 00:31:46.890
now<00:31:45.509><c> learn</c><00:31:45.750><c> the</c><00:31:45.970><c> parable</c><00:31:46.170><c> of</c><00:31:46.390><c> the</c><00:31:46.470><c> fig</c><00:31:46.630><c> tree</c>

00:31:46.890 --> 00:31:50.130
when<00:31:47.250><c> his</c><00:31:47.589><c> branch</c><00:31:47.829><c> is</c><00:31:48.009><c> yet</c><00:31:48.210><c> tender</c><00:31:48.490><c> and</c><00:31:48.690><c> put</c><00:31:48.869><c> his</c><00:31:49.049><c> four</c><00:31:49.190><c> leaves,</c>

00:31:50.309 --> 00:31:53.049
ye<00:31:50.670><c> know</c><00:31:51.069><c> that</c><00:31:51.410><c> summer</c><00:31:51.730><c> is</c><00:31:52.190><c> near.</c>

00:31:53.690 --> 00:31:57.890
So<00:31:54.109><c> in</c><00:31:54.470><c> like</c><00:31:54.690><c> manner,</c><00:31:54.950><c> when</c><00:31:55.130><c> you</c><00:31:55.369><c> shall</c><00:31:55.529><c> see</c><00:31:56.410><c> these</c><00:31:56.809><c> things</c><00:31:57.089><c> come</c><00:31:57.369><c> to</c><00:31:57.609><c> pass,</c>

00:31:58.269 --> 00:32:02.190
know<00:31:58.710><c> that</c><00:31:59.390><c> it,</c><00:31:59.789><c> that</c><00:32:00.069><c> would</c><00:32:00.269><c> be</c><00:32:00.450><c> Jesus</c><00:32:00.730><c> returned,</c><00:32:01.730><c> is</c><00:32:01.890><c> nigh,</c>

00:32:02.190 --> 00:32:03.190
even<00:32:02.470><c> at</c><00:32:02.710><c> the</c><00:32:02.890><c> doors.</c>

00:32:03.410 --> 00:32:07.109
Verily<00:32:03.690><c> I</c><00:32:03.930><c> say</c><00:32:04.049><c> unto</c><00:32:04.230><c> you</c><00:32:04.609><c> that</c><00:32:04.970><c> this</c><00:32:05.269><c> generation</c><00:32:05.890><c> shall</c><00:32:06.210><c> not</c><00:32:06.630><c> pass</c>

00:32:07.109 --> 00:32:10.809
till<00:32:07.990><c> all</c><00:32:08.970><c> these</c><00:32:09.410><c> things</c><00:32:09.930><c> be</c><00:32:10.369><c> done.</c>

00:32:11.309 --> 00:32:14.609
Now,<00:32:11.769><c> isn't</c><00:32:12.069><c> that</c><00:32:12.410><c> interesting</c><00:32:13.190><c> when</c><00:32:13.650><c> you</c><00:32:13.910><c> compare</c><00:32:14.289><c> that</c>

00:32:14.609 --> 00:32:19.750
with<00:32:15.529><c> how</c><00:32:16.970><c> the</c><00:32:17.190><c> prophecy</c><00:32:17.589><c> develops</c><00:32:18.049><c> back</c><00:32:18.349><c> in</c><00:32:18.509><c> verse</c><00:32:18.750><c> four?</c>

00:32:19.849 --> 00:32:21.829
This<00:32:20.109><c> phrase,</c><00:32:20.650><c> till</c><00:32:20.710><c> all</c><00:32:20.990><c> these</c><00:32:21.230><c> things</c><00:32:21.390><c> be</c><00:32:21.609><c> done,</c>

00:32:22.009 --> 00:32:25.690
is<00:32:22.190><c> very,</c><00:32:22.470><c> very</c><00:32:22.750><c> similar</c><00:32:23.089><c> when</c><00:32:23.569><c> all</c><00:32:23.890><c> these</c><00:32:24.170><c> things</c><00:32:24.349><c> shall</c><00:32:24.569><c> be</c><00:32:24.809><c> fulfilled.</c>

00:32:25.869 --> 00:32:28.869
So<00:32:25.990><c> that's</c><00:32:26.190><c> why</c><00:32:26.410><c> I</c><00:32:26.630><c> link</c><00:32:26.829><c> that</c><00:32:27.250><c> together</c><00:32:27.769><c> with</c><00:32:28.329><c> the</c><00:32:28.569><c> parable</c>

00:32:28.869 --> 00:32:29.930
of<00:32:29.329><c> the</c><00:32:29.509><c> fig</c><00:32:29.670><c> tree</c>

00:32:29.930 --> 00:32:34.670
and<00:32:30.470><c> a</c><00:32:30.710><c> sign</c><00:32:30.970><c> to</c><00:32:31.529><c> us</c><00:32:32.089><c> that</c><00:32:32.390><c> Jesus</c><00:32:32.809><c> returned</c><00:32:33.289><c> is</c><00:32:33.509><c> very</c><00:32:33.869><c> soon.</c>

00:32:36.450 --> 00:32:40.569
So<00:32:36.650><c> the</c><00:32:36.869><c> sign</c><00:32:37.170><c> equals</c><00:32:37.589><c> Israel,</c><00:32:38.309><c> a</c><00:32:38.450><c> nation</c><00:32:38.769><c> in</c><00:32:39.170><c> 1948,</c><00:32:40.250><c> when</c><00:32:40.390><c> it</c>

00:32:40.569 --> 00:32:41.450
put<00:32:40.730><c> forth</c><00:32:41.069><c> leaves,</c>

00:32:41.450 --> 00:32:45.309
and<00:32:41.970><c> the</c><00:32:42.109><c> generation</c><00:32:42.589><c> that</c><00:32:42.890><c> saw</c><00:32:43.009><c> that</c><00:32:43.490><c> will</c><00:32:44.349><c> also</c><00:32:44.630><c> be</c><00:32:44.950><c> alive</c>

00:32:45.309 --> 00:32:47.089
when<00:32:45.650><c> Jesus</c><00:32:46.049><c> returns.</c>

00:32:48.069 --> 00:32:52.430
So<00:32:48.549><c> why</c><00:32:49.029><c> does</c><00:32:49.349><c> the</c><00:32:49.549><c> Bible</c><00:32:49.829><c> go</c><00:32:50.089><c> out</c><00:32:50.309><c> of</c><00:32:50.410><c> its</c><00:32:50.650><c> way</c><00:32:51.109><c> to</c><00:32:51.730><c> give</c><00:32:51.950><c> signs</c>

00:32:52.430 --> 00:32:54.150
of<00:32:52.789><c> Jesus</c><00:32:53.170><c> return?</c>

00:32:54.269 --> 00:32:55.950
Not<00:32:54.509><c> to</c><00:32:54.690><c> know</c><00:32:54.869><c> the</c><00:32:55.069><c> day</c><00:32:55.230><c> and</c><00:32:55.329><c> the</c><00:32:55.490><c> hour,</c>

00:32:56.230 --> 00:32:57.509
but<00:32:56.390><c> it</c><00:32:56.549><c> goes</c><00:32:56.750><c> right</c><00:32:56.990><c> out</c><00:32:57.150><c> of</c><00:32:57.210><c> its</c><00:32:57.369><c> way.</c>

00:32:57.609 --> 00:32:58.829
We<00:32:57.630><c> have</c><00:32:57.789><c> many</c><00:32:58.089><c> time</c><00:32:58.329><c> periods.</c>

00:32:59.210 --> 00:33:04.029
Why?<00:33:00.829><c> I</c><00:33:01.009><c> think</c><00:33:01.190><c> the</c><00:33:01.349><c> key</c><00:33:01.470><c> reason</c><00:33:01.789><c> is</c><00:33:02.230><c> that</c><00:33:02.529><c> we</c><00:33:02.769><c> might</c><00:33:02.930><c> be</c><00:33:03.190><c> watching.</c>

00:33:04.490 --> 00:33:06.589
In<00:33:04.609><c> the</c><00:33:04.750><c> three</c><00:33:04.950><c> accounts</c><00:33:05.309><c> of</c><00:33:05.589><c> the</c><00:33:05.769><c> all</c><00:33:05.910><c> the</c><00:33:06.049><c> prophecy,</c>

00:33:06.849 --> 00:33:10.329
you<00:33:06.849><c> could</c><00:33:07.029><c> count</c><00:33:07.210><c> up</c><00:33:07.730><c> the</c><00:33:07.950><c> number</c><00:33:08.190><c> of</c><00:33:08.329><c> times</c><00:33:08.490><c> it</c><00:33:08.690><c> says</c><00:33:08.769><c> to</c><00:33:09.069><c> watch,</c><00:33:09.910><c> count</c><00:33:10.089><c> up</c>

00:33:10.329 --> 00:33:11.069
10<00:33:10.529><c> times.</c>

00:33:11.450 --> 00:33:12.390
We<00:33:11.690><c> are</c><00:33:11.890><c> to</c><00:33:12.049><c> watch.</c>

00:33:12.549 --> 00:33:15.329
And<00:33:12.609><c> here's</c><00:33:12.809><c> an</c><00:33:13.009><c> example</c><00:33:13.410><c> of</c><00:33:13.529><c> that</c><00:33:13.769><c> in</c><00:33:13.910><c> Mark</c><00:33:14.170><c> chapter</c><00:33:14.569><c> 13</c><00:33:15.109><c> and</c>

00:33:15.329 --> 00:33:16.829
verse<00:33:15.549><c> 32,</c>

00:33:17.029 --> 00:33:20.130
where<00:33:17.230><c> it</c><00:33:17.390><c> says,</c><00:33:17.730><c> but</c><00:33:17.730><c> of</c><00:33:17.970><c> that</c><00:33:18.230><c> day</c><00:33:18.470><c> and</c><00:33:18.650><c> at</c><00:33:18.869><c> our</c><00:33:19.049><c> north,</c><00:33:19.450><c> no</c><00:33:19.630><c> man,</c>

00:33:20.450 --> 00:33:22.809
no,<00:33:20.750><c> not</c><00:33:20.750><c> the</c><00:33:21.029><c> angels,</c><00:33:21.269><c> which</c><00:33:21.509><c> are</c><00:33:21.769><c> in</c><00:33:21.950><c> heaven,</c><00:33:22.369><c> neither</c><00:33:22.509><c> the</c>

00:33:24.630 --> 00:33:29.650
Take<00:33:24.950><c> ye</c><00:33:25.309><c> heed,</c><00:33:26.329><c> watch</c><00:33:26.990><c> and</c><00:33:27.829><c> pray,</c><00:33:28.789><c> for</c><00:33:28.869><c> you</c><00:33:29.049><c> know</c><00:33:29.210><c> not</c><00:33:29.430><c> when</c>

00:33:29.650 --> 00:33:30.789
the<00:33:29.910><c> time</c><00:33:30.130><c> is.</c>

00:33:30.890 --> 00:33:33.490
And<00:33:31.150><c> I</c><00:33:31.309><c> believe</c><00:33:31.410><c> that's</c><00:33:31.829><c> directed</c><00:33:32.190><c> right</c><00:33:32.470><c> to</c><00:33:32.750><c> us.</c>

00:33:33.950 --> 00:33:37.990
Or<00:33:34.289><c> no,</c><00:33:34.890><c> not</c><00:33:34.970><c> what</c><00:33:35.150><c> the</c><00:33:35.410><c> time</c><00:33:35.609><c> is</c><00:33:35.970><c> for</c><00:33:36.269><c> this</c><00:33:36.730><c> son</c><00:33:36.970><c> of</c><00:33:37.190><c> man</c><00:33:37.470><c> is</c><00:33:37.809><c> as</c>

00:33:37.990 --> 00:33:39.609
a<00:33:38.190><c> man</c><00:33:38.369><c> taking</c><00:33:38.670><c> a</c><00:33:38.950><c> far</c><00:33:39.150><c> country.</c>

00:33:39.609 --> 00:33:41.589
Jesus<00:33:40.470><c> is</c><00:33:40.730><c> the</c><00:33:40.769><c> son</c><00:33:41.049><c> of</c><00:33:41.130><c> man</c><00:33:41.369><c> here.</c>

00:33:41.589 --> 00:33:46.349
He<00:33:41.690><c> went</c><00:33:41.849><c> to</c><00:33:42.029><c> heaven,</c><00:33:42.890><c> who</c><00:33:42.990><c> left</c><00:33:43.230><c> his</c><00:33:43.450><c> house</c><00:33:43.990><c> and</c><00:33:44.829><c> gave</c><00:33:45.029><c> authority</c><00:33:45.509><c> to</c><00:33:45.769><c> his</c><00:33:46.069><c> servants.</c>

00:33:46.369 --> 00:33:49.369
This<00:33:46.509><c> would</c><00:33:46.690><c> be</c><00:33:46.869><c> as</c><00:33:47.069><c> apostles,</c><00:33:47.650><c> as</c><00:33:47.930><c> disciples</c><00:33:48.390><c> to</c><00:33:48.730><c> every</c><00:33:49.069><c> man,</c>

00:33:49.490 --> 00:33:50.029
that<00:33:49.589><c> is</c><00:33:49.809><c> work,</c>

00:33:50.450 --> 00:33:51.970
and<00:33:50.529><c> commanded</c><00:33:50.910><c> the</c><00:33:51.230><c> porter</c><00:33:51.430><c> to</c><00:33:51.769><c> watch.</c>

00:33:51.990 --> 00:33:53.869
So<00:33:52.210><c> here</c><00:33:52.309><c> we</c><00:33:52.490><c> are</c><00:33:52.650><c> again</c><00:33:53.089><c> to</c><00:33:53.470><c> watch.</c>

00:33:54.230 --> 00:33:57.549
And<00:33:54.309><c> then</c><00:33:54.529><c> it</c><00:33:54.750><c> emphasizes</c><00:33:55.190><c> again</c><00:33:55.529><c> in</c><00:33:55.730><c> verse</c><00:33:55.910><c> 35,</c><00:33:56.829><c> watch</c><00:33:56.849><c> ye</c><00:33:57.029><c> therefore,</c>

00:33:57.789 --> 00:34:00.529
for<00:33:57.950><c> you</c><00:33:58.109><c> know</c><00:33:58.309><c> not</c><00:33:58.690><c> when</c><00:33:58.890><c> the</c><00:33:59.089><c> master</c><00:33:59.490><c> of</c><00:33:59.710><c> the</c><00:33:59.890><c> house</c><00:34:00.089><c> cometh.</c>

00:34:00.730 --> 00:34:04.049
And<00:34:00.930><c> that,</c><00:34:01.250><c> of</c><00:34:01.250><c> course,</c><00:34:01.430><c> is</c><00:34:01.710><c> describing</c><00:34:02.170><c> the</c><00:34:02.410><c> Lord</c><00:34:02.589><c> Jesus</c><00:34:03.029><c> Christ.</c>

00:34:04.750 --> 00:34:07.589
Let's<00:34:05.150><c> coming</c><00:34:05.369><c> suddenly,</c><00:34:06.170><c> he</c><00:34:06.369><c> find</c><00:34:06.589><c> you</c><00:34:06.849><c> sleeping.</c>

00:34:07.650 --> 00:34:11.070
So<00:34:07.970><c> these</c><00:34:08.630><c> prophecies,</c><00:34:09.289><c> they</c><00:34:09.690><c> help</c><00:34:09.789><c> us</c><00:34:10.030><c> to</c><00:34:10.230><c> watch.</c>

00:34:11.250 --> 00:34:14.250
And<00:34:11.570><c> trying</c><00:34:11.789><c> to</c><00:34:12.010><c> figure</c><00:34:12.210><c> out</c><00:34:12.489><c> when</c><00:34:12.710><c> Jesus</c><00:34:13.070><c> is</c><00:34:13.309><c> going</c><00:34:13.469><c> to</c><00:34:13.849><c> return,</c>

00:34:14.349 --> 00:34:18.130
long<00:34:14.530><c> as</c><00:34:14.670><c> we're</c><00:34:14.869><c> not</c><00:34:15.110><c> dogmatic,</c><00:34:16.050><c> I</c><00:34:16.230><c> believe</c><00:34:16.510><c> helps</c><00:34:16.829><c> in</c><00:34:17.070><c> that</c><00:34:17.230><c> direction.</c>

00:34:19.329 --> 00:34:21.230

My<00:39:24.869><c> key</c><00:39:25.090><c> words</c><00:39:25.349><c> here</c><00:39:25.590><c> are</c><00:39:25.809><c> they</c><00:39:26.090><c> continued</c><00:39:26.590><c> steadfastly.</c>

00:39:28.070 --> 00:39:29.789
Their<00:39:28.309><c> heart</c><00:39:28.550><c> was</c><00:39:28.829><c> in</c><00:39:28.929><c> it.</c>

00:39:30.389 --> 00:39:32.550
This<00:39:30.789><c> is</c><00:39:31.050><c> what</c><00:39:31.309><c> we</c><00:39:31.650><c> have</c><00:39:31.849><c> to</c><00:39:31.989><c> be</c><00:39:32.170><c> able</c><00:39:32.369><c> to</c><00:39:32.510><c> do.</c>

00:39:32.650 --> 00:39:34.690
Our<00:39:32.929><c> heart</c><00:39:33.130><c> must</c><00:39:33.329><c> be</c><00:39:33.630><c> in</c><00:39:33.750><c> these</c><00:39:34.050><c> type</c><00:39:34.250><c> of</c><00:39:34.449><c> things.</c>

00:39:34.909 --> 00:39:37.409
If<00:39:35.090><c> we</c><00:39:35.309><c> are</c><00:39:35.429><c> to</c><00:39:35.590><c> be</c><00:39:35.849><c> delivered,</c><00:39:36.110><c> I</c><00:39:36.369><c> believe,</c><00:39:36.730><c> from</c><00:39:36.989><c> the</c><00:39:37.190><c> wrath</c>

00:39:37.409 --> 00:39:38.409
to<00:39:37.690><c> come.</c>

00:39:38.550 --> 00:39:42.989
And<00:39:38.889><c> it's</c><00:39:39.230><c> noted</c><00:39:39.469><c> here</c><00:39:39.989><c> that</c><00:39:41.050><c> they</c><00:39:41.809><c> continued</c><00:39:42.150><c> with</c><00:39:42.449><c> the</c><00:39:42.670><c> doctrine.</c>

00:39:43.070 --> 00:39:44.409
That's<00:39:43.530><c> extremely</c><00:39:43.869><c> important.</c>

00:39:44.650 --> 00:39:46.889
And<00:39:44.849><c> it</c><00:39:45.110><c> actually</c><00:39:45.409><c> precedes</c><00:39:45.949><c> fellowship.</c>

00:39:47.050 --> 00:39:49.369
So<00:39:47.250><c> that's</c><00:39:47.949><c> another</c><00:39:48.170><c> important</c><00:39:48.769><c> point</c><00:39:49.010><c> to</c><00:39:49.210><c> point.</c>

00:39:49.809 --> 00:39:52.070
You've<00:39:50.090><c> got</c><00:39:50.150><c> to</c><00:39:50.289><c> have</c><00:39:50.409><c> true</c><00:39:50.630><c> doctrine</c><00:39:51.050><c> before</c><00:39:51.550><c> you</c><00:39:51.769><c> really</c>

00:39:52.070 --> 00:39:53.469
have<00:39:52.269><c> true</c><00:39:52.510><c> fellowship.</c>

00:39:53.610 --> 00:39:57.630
And<00:39:53.829><c> the</c><00:39:53.989><c> breaking</c><00:39:54.230><c> of</c><00:39:54.550><c> bread</c><00:39:54.789><c> would</c><00:39:54.989><c> be</c><00:39:55.170><c> in</c><00:39:55.289><c> the</c><00:39:55.469><c> memorial</c><00:39:55.789><c> service</c><00:39:56.190><c> and</c><00:39:56.550><c> in</c><00:39:56.809><c> prayers.</c>

00:39:58.670 --> 00:39:59.820
But<00:39:58.869><c> moving</c><00:39:59.030><c> on.</c>

00:40:01.170 --> 00:40:05.469
As<00:40:01.349><c> the</c><00:40:01.510><c> Sessalonians</c><00:40:02.170><c> were</c><00:40:02.409><c> to</c><00:40:02.650><c> know</c><00:40:02.829><c> the</c><00:40:03.110><c> times</c><00:40:03.570><c> and</c><00:40:04.090><c> seasons,</c><00:40:05.190><c> what</c>

00:40:05.469 --> 00:40:06.170
about<00:40:05.750><c> us?</c>

00:40:06.170 --> 00:40:10.309
And<00:40:07.150><c> I'm</c><00:40:07.929><c> circling</c><00:40:08.309><c> here</c><00:40:08.570><c> this</c><00:40:08.809><c> word</c><00:40:09.130><c> seasons.</c>

00:40:10.849 --> 00:40:14.150
I'm<00:40:11.070><c> going</c><00:40:11.130><c> to</c><00:40:11.269><c> develop</c><00:40:11.530><c> that</c><00:40:11.829><c> for</c><00:40:12.769><c> a</c><00:40:12.769><c> little</c><00:40:13.050><c> bit</c><00:40:13.170><c> of</c><00:40:13.409><c> interest.</c>

00:40:15.050 --> 00:40:18.650
You'll<00:40:15.289><c> recall</c><00:40:15.510><c> the</c><00:40:15.730><c> words</c><00:40:15.909><c> in</c><00:40:16.150><c> 1</c><00:40:16.289><c> Corinthians</c><00:40:16.750><c> 15</c><00:40:17.269><c> and</c><00:40:17.489><c> 20.</c>

00:40:18.889 --> 00:40:22.389
But<00:40:18.889><c> now</c><00:40:19.210><c> is</c><00:40:19.469><c> Christ</c><00:40:19.769><c> risen</c><00:40:20.130><c> from</c><00:40:20.429><c> the</c><00:40:20.690><c> dead</c><00:40:21.070><c> and</c><00:40:21.730><c> became</c><00:40:22.090><c> the</c>

00:40:22.389 --> 00:40:24.110
firstfruits<00:40:22.889><c> of</c><00:40:23.150><c> them</c><00:40:23.389><c> that</c><00:40:23.750><c> slept.</c>

00:40:24.570 --> 00:40:27.570
So<00:40:24.670><c> we're</c><00:40:25.090><c> concentrating</c><00:40:25.570><c> on</c><00:40:25.789><c> the</c><00:40:25.929><c> word</c><00:40:26.150><c> seasons</c><00:40:26.610><c> here.</c>

00:40:27.789 --> 00:40:30.710
But<00:40:27.949><c> every</c><00:40:28.210><c> man</c><00:40:28.409><c> in</c><00:40:28.469><c> his</c><00:40:28.710><c> own</c><00:40:28.929><c> order,</c><00:40:29.369><c> Christ</c><00:40:29.750><c> the</c><00:40:30.030><c> firstfruits,</c>

00:40:30.809 --> 00:40:33.809
afterward<00:40:31.369><c> they</c><00:40:31.769><c> that</c><00:40:31.969><c> are</c><00:40:32.190><c> Christ</c><00:40:32.610><c> at</c><00:40:32.869><c> his</c><00:40:33.090><c> coming.</c>

00:40:34.030 --> 00:40:37.730
So<00:40:34.349><c> it</c><00:40:34.510><c> would</c><00:40:34.730><c> say</c><00:40:34.969><c> here</c><00:40:35.309><c> that</c><00:40:35.650><c> Christ,</c><00:40:36.630><c> as</c><00:40:37.110><c> descriptive</c><00:40:37.449><c> here,</c>

00:40:37.789 --> 00:40:40.969
of<00:40:37.969><c> the</c><00:40:38.210><c> firstfruits</c><00:40:39.289><c> of</c><00:40:39.630><c> them</c><00:40:39.829><c> that</c><00:40:40.150><c> slept.</c>

00:40:41.150 --> 00:40:43.150
Now<00:40:41.349><c> what</c><00:40:41.469><c> does</c><00:40:41.650><c> this</c><00:40:41.849><c> go</c><00:40:42.050><c> back</c><00:40:42.349><c> to?</c>

00:40:43.190 --> 00:40:45.539
It<00:40:43.349><c> goes</c><00:40:43.530><c> back</c><00:40:43.849><c> to</c><00:40:44.110><c> the</c><00:40:44.289><c> Feast</c><00:40:44.570><c> of</c><00:40:44.769><c> Weeks.</c>

00:41:16.250 --> 00:41:18.650

This<00:41:59.650><c> is</c><00:41:59.789><c> where</c><00:41:59.909><c> we</c><00:42:00.030><c> get</c><00:42:00.289><c> the</c><00:42:00.730><c> Pentecost</c><00:42:01.170><c> from.</c>

00:42:32.190 --> 00:42:35.170
And<00:42:32.329><c> so</c><00:42:32.510><c> if</c><00:42:32.630><c> you</c><00:42:32.769><c> had</c><00:42:33.150><c> describing</c><00:42:33.690><c> the</c><00:42:33.969><c> resurrection</c><00:42:34.389><c> of</c><00:42:34.590><c> Jesus</c>

00:42:35.170 --> 00:42:38.329
back<00:42:35.750><c> on</c><00:42:35.909><c> the</c><00:42:36.090><c> first</c><00:42:36.329><c> fruit</c><00:42:36.570><c> being</c><00:42:36.869><c> waved,</c><00:42:37.730><c> here</c><00:42:37.809><c> we</c><00:42:37.989><c> have</c><00:42:38.090><c> the</c>

resurrection<00:42:38.829><c> of</c><00:42:39.190><c> the</c><00:42:39.369><c> saints.</c>

00:42:40.409 --> 00:42:42.150
And<00:42:40.730><c> when</c><00:42:40.869><c> does</c><00:42:41.050><c> that</c><00:42:41.289><c> occur?</c>

00:42:42.849 --> 00:42:45.690
Well,<00:42:43.070><c> it</c><00:42:43.230><c> occurs</c><00:42:43.550><c> fifty</c><00:42:44.010><c> days</c><00:42:44.429><c> later</c><00:42:44.769><c> after</c><00:42:45.190><c> Passover.</c>

00:42:45.929 --> 00:42:49.469
That<00:42:46.170><c> would</c><00:42:46.369><c> be</c><00:42:46.670><c> in</c><00:42:46.969><c> May</c><00:42:47.269><c> or</c><00:42:47.590><c> June</c><00:42:48.010><c> as</c><00:42:48.590><c> the</c><00:42:48.789><c> resurrection</c><00:42:49.230><c> of</c>

00:42:49.469 --> 00:42:50.469
the<00:42:49.650><c> saints.</c>

00:42:50.949 --> 00:42:53.510
So<00:42:51.210><c> do</c><00:42:51.389><c> we</c><00:42:51.590><c> have</c><00:42:51.789><c> the</c><00:42:52.150><c> seasons</c><00:42:52.550><c> here?</c>

00:42:53.949 --> 00:42:56.110
Well,<00:42:54.510><c> again,</c><00:42:55.010><c> I</c><00:42:55.030><c> think</c><00:42:55.210><c> we</c><00:42:55.329><c> need</c><00:42:55.510><c> to</c><00:42:55.630><c> be</c><00:42:55.809><c> careful.</c>

00:42:56.289 --> 00:42:59.829
We<00:42:56.429><c> don't</c><00:42:56.670><c> want</c><00:42:56.809><c> to</c><00:42:56.929><c> be</c><00:42:57.130><c> dogmatic,</c><00:42:58.210><c> but</c><00:42:58.389><c> it</c><00:42:58.570><c> is</c><00:42:58.889><c> very,</c><00:42:59.210><c> very</c><00:42:59.449><c> interesting.</c>

00:43:00.250 --> 00:43:02.429
And<00:43:00.449><c> it</c><00:43:00.630><c> helps</c><00:43:00.889><c> to</c><00:43:01.210><c> keep</c><00:43:01.309><c> us</c><00:43:01.550><c> awake.</c>

00:43:03.389 --> 00:43:08.309
Okay.<00:43:06.550><c> What</c><00:43:06.829><c> about</c><00:43:07.130><c> the</c><00:43:07.409><c> times?</c>

00:43:11.869 --> 00:43:13.789
I<00:43:12.429><c> like</c><00:43:12.650><c> this</c><00:43:12.889><c> picture.</c>

00:43:15.050 --> 00:43:18.829
It<00:43:15.610><c> shows</c><00:43:16.170><c> the</c><00:43:16.750><c> abomination</c><00:43:17.329><c> of</c><00:43:17.610><c> desolation.</c>

00:43:18.909 --> 00:43:20.730
This<00:43:19.110><c> is,</c><00:43:19.510><c> of</c><00:43:19.510><c> course,</c><00:43:19.789><c> the</c><00:43:19.869><c> dome</c><00:43:20.050><c> of</c><00:43:20.250><c> the</c><00:43:20.429><c> rock.</c>

00:43:20.730 --> 00:43:24.250
And<00:43:21.429><c> we</c><00:43:21.809><c> have,</c><00:43:22.210><c> of</c><00:43:22.349><c> course,</c><00:43:22.590><c> this</c><00:43:22.809><c> very</c><00:43:23.150><c> false</c><00:43:23.409><c> religion</c><00:43:23.829><c> today</c>

00:43:30.849 --> 00:43:34.469
In<00:43:31.030><c> Daniel</c><00:43:31.369><c> chapter</c><00:43:31.730><c> 12,</c><00:43:32.250><c> which</c><00:43:32.909><c> Matt</c><00:43:33.190><c> didn't</c><00:43:33.449><c> get</c><00:43:33.690><c> time</c><00:43:33.969><c> to</c><00:43:34.190><c> cover,</c>

00:43:39.510 --> 00:43:42.809
We<00:43:39.690><c> have</c><00:43:40.130><c> two</c><00:43:40.809><c> prophecies,</c><00:43:41.510><c> two</c><00:43:41.750><c> dating,</c><00:43:42.170><c> two</c><00:43:42.389><c> dates</c><00:43:42.630><c> that</c>

00:43:49.530 --> 00:43:52.289
Now<00:43:49.730><c> we</c><00:43:49.909><c> know</c><00:43:50.210><c> that</c><00:43:50.469><c> was</c><00:43:50.590><c> taken</c><00:43:50.909><c> away</c><00:43:51.190><c> by</c><00:43:51.449><c> Nebuchadnezzar.</c>

00:43:52.550 --> 00:43:54.989

There<00:43:55.550><c> were</c><00:43:55.690><c> actually</c><00:43:56.010><c> four</c><00:43:56.349><c> invasions</c><00:43:57.010><c> that</c><00:43:57.210><c> took</c><00:43:57.409><c> place</c><00:43:58.010><c> at</c>

00:44:05.409 --> 00:44:07.869
So<00:44:05.650><c> from</c><00:44:05.949><c> the</c><00:44:06.150><c> time</c><00:44:06.269><c> that</c><00:44:06.449><c> the</c><00:44:06.630><c> daily</c><00:44:06.869><c> sacrifice</c><00:44:07.429><c> shall</c><00:44:07.610><c> be</c>

00:44:08.369 --> 00:44:11.610
and<00:44:08.690><c> the</c><00:44:08.929><c> abomination,</c><00:44:09.909><c> and</c><00:44:10.289><c> I</c><00:44:10.409><c> don't</c><00:44:10.610><c> think</c><00:44:10.690><c> there's</c><00:44:10.949><c> any</c><00:44:11.289><c> doubt</c>

00:44:11.610 --> 00:44:13.070
that<00:44:11.849><c> that's</c><00:44:12.190><c> the</c><00:44:12.269><c> dome</c><00:44:12.389><c> of</c><00:44:12.590><c> the</c><00:44:12.690><c> rock</c><00:44:12.829><c> today.</c>

00:44:13.070 --> 00:44:16.010
This<00:44:13.309><c> is</c><00:44:13.550><c> a</c><00:44:13.670><c> very</c><00:44:13.969><c> false</c><00:44:14.230><c> form</c><00:44:14.530><c> of</c><00:44:14.769><c> worship</c><00:44:15.030><c> and</c><00:44:15.429><c> it's</c><00:44:15.610><c> on</c><00:44:15.750><c> the</c>

00:45:22.929 --> 00:45:26.789

00:45:26.809 --> 00:45:27.869
So<00:45:26.969><c> we've</c><00:45:27.150><c> got</c><00:45:27.190><c> to</c><00:45:27.369><c> check</c><00:45:27.550><c> there.</c>

00:45:27.949 --> 00:45:32.170
We<00:45:28.110><c> can</c><00:45:28.269><c> do</c><00:45:28.369><c> it</c><00:45:28.489><c> by</c><00:45:28.630><c> history,</c><00:45:30.989><c> but</c><00:45:31.190><c> it</c><00:45:31.309><c> doesn't</c><00:45:31.429><c> stop</c><00:45:31.730><c> there.</c>

00:45:32.449 --> 00:45:35.150
And<00:45:32.750><c> that's</c><00:45:32.889><c> what</c><00:45:33.050><c> makes</c><00:45:33.230><c> this</c><00:45:33.449><c> so</c><00:45:33.650><c> interesting</c><00:45:34.230><c> because</c><00:45:35.010><c> it</c>

00:45:35.150 --> 00:45:36.869

00:45:42.369 --> 00:45:44.889
So<00:45:42.989><c> applying</c><00:45:43.389><c> the</c><00:45:43.570><c> day</c><00:45:43.670><c> for</c><00:45:43.869><c> year</c><00:45:44.030><c> principle,</c><00:45:44.449><c> we're</c><00:45:44.650><c> looking</c>

00:45:48.409 --> 00:45:54.590
So<00:45:48.869><c> if</c><00:45:49.170><c> we</c><00:45:49.349><c> take</c><00:45:49.469><c> the</c><00:45:49.710><c> 1</c><00:45:50.329><c>,335,</c><00:45:51.610><c> we</c><00:45:51.969><c> add</c><00:45:52.570><c> to</c><00:45:52.989><c> that</c><00:45:53.269><c> the</c><00:45:53.550><c> 691</c><00:45:54.349><c> AD</c>

00:45:54.590 --> 00:45:57.309
when<00:45:54.969><c> the</c><00:45:55.969><c> abomination</c><00:45:56.469><c> was</c><00:45:56.730><c> set</c><00:45:56.969><c> up,</c>

00:45:57.650 --> 00:46:02.869

00:46:02.869 --> 00:46:05.469
sacrifice<00:46:03.510><c> will</c><00:46:03.750><c> be</c><00:46:04.110><c> reinstituted.</c>

00:46:06.130 --> 00:46:08.389
And<00:46:06.710><c> that,</c><00:46:07.010><c> of</c><00:46:07.030><c> course,</c><00:46:07.170><c> is</c><00:46:07.329><c> when</c><00:46:07.489><c> Christ</c><00:46:07.789><c> comes.</c>

00:46:08.389 --> 00:46:14.230
And<00:46:08.989><c> I</c><00:46:09.170><c> would</c><00:46:09.429><c> suggest</c><00:46:09.929><c> this</c><00:46:10.210><c> would</c><00:46:10.409><c> be</c><00:46:10.989><c> after</c><00:46:12.230><c> Ezekiel's</c><00:46:12.989><c> temple</c><00:46:13.190><c> was</c><00:46:13.449><c> built.</c>

00:46:15.210 --> 00:46:17.510
Now,<00:46:15.730><c> it</c><00:46:15.869><c> gets</c><00:46:15.989><c> even</c><00:46:16.230><c> more</c><00:46:16.449><c> interesting.</c>

00:46:18.809 --> 00:46:23.190
If<00:46:19.110><c> we</c><00:46:19.449><c> take</c><00:46:19.630><c> the</c><00:46:19.869><c> 2026,</c><00:46:20.889><c> which</c><00:46:21.070><c> we've</c><00:46:21.369><c> got</c><00:46:21.510><c> here,</c><00:46:22.489><c> and</c><00:46:22.929><c> we</c>

00:46:23.190 --> 00:46:23.809
say,<00:46:23.570><c> well,</c>

00:46:24.010 --> 00:46:26.530
how<00:46:24.250><c> long</c><00:46:24.530><c> did</c><00:46:24.769><c> it</c><00:46:24.869><c> take</c><00:46:25.090><c> to</c><00:46:25.329><c> build</c><00:46:25.530><c> Ezekiel's</c><00:46:26.269><c> temple?</c>

00:46:26.989 --> 00:46:28.409
We<00:46:27.269><c> don't</c><00:46:27.510><c> know.</c>

00:46:29.110 --> 00:46:32.530
But<00:46:29.469><c> we</c><00:46:29.670><c> do</c><00:46:29.929><c> know</c><00:46:30.090><c> how</c><00:46:30.329><c> long</c><00:46:30.469><c> it</c><00:46:30.630><c> took</c><00:46:30.750><c> to</c><00:46:30.949><c> build</c><00:46:31.130><c> Solomon's</c><00:46:31.750><c> temple.</c>

00:46:32.670 --> 00:46:33.730
It<00:46:32.809><c> took</c><00:46:32.969><c> seven</c><00:46:33.269><c> years.</c>

00:46:33.909 --> 00:46:36.190
And<00:46:34.010><c> we</c><00:46:34.250><c> have</c><00:46:34.369><c> actually,</c><00:46:34.690><c> I'll</c><00:46:34.869><c> give</c><00:46:34.969><c> you</c><00:46:35.110><c> the</c><00:46:35.289><c> reference</c><00:46:35.570><c> for</c><00:46:35.829><c> that.</c>

00:46:36.190 --> 00:46:39.389
So<00:46:36.670><c> we</c><00:46:36.889><c> take</c><00:46:37.150><c> the</c><00:46:37.389><c> seven</c><00:46:37.610><c> years</c><00:46:37.989><c> to</c><00:46:38.230><c> build</c><00:46:38.349><c> the</c><00:46:38.590><c> temple.</c>

00:46:39.570 --> 00:46:42.030
We<00:46:39.909><c> come</c><00:46:40.110><c> down</c><00:46:40.389><c> to</c><00:46:40.670><c> 2019.</c>

00:46:42.869 --> 00:46:46.170
But<00:46:43.429><c> that's</c><00:46:43.989><c> when</c><00:46:44.409><c> the</c><00:46:44.750><c> temple</c><00:46:44.929><c> is</c><00:46:44.989><c> being</c><00:46:45.230><c> built.</c>

00:46:46.989 --> 00:46:50.730
And<00:46:47.550><c> that</c><00:46:47.989><c> starts</c><00:46:48.269><c> well</c><00:46:48.630><c> after</c><00:46:49.090><c> Jesus</c><00:46:49.650><c> returns</c><00:46:50.070><c> as</c><00:46:50.309><c> a</c><00:46:50.469><c> thief.</c>

00:46:51.210 --> 00:46:53.449
In<00:46:51.389><c> fact,</c><00:46:51.610><c> it's</c><00:46:51.829><c> thought</c><00:46:51.869><c> to</c><00:46:52.050><c> be</c><00:46:52.150><c> 10</c><00:46:52.349><c> years</c><00:46:52.630><c> after.</c>

00:46:53.570 --> 00:46:57.889
And<00:46:53.849><c> that</c><00:46:54.070><c> brings</c><00:46:54.250><c> us</c><00:46:54.489><c> down</c><00:46:54.929><c> to</c><00:46:55.849><c> 2009</c><00:46:56.710><c> AD.</c>

00:46:58.250 --> 00:47:00.050
And<00:46:58.449><c> that</c><00:46:58.630><c> becomes</c><00:46:58.949><c> very,</c><00:46:59.369><c> very</c><00:46:59.610><c> interesting.</c>

00:47:00.550 --> 00:47:03.090
But<00:47:00.690><c> we've</c><00:47:00.929><c> got</c><00:47:00.949><c> to</c><00:47:01.070><c> be</c><00:47:01.289><c> extremely</c><00:47:01.809><c> careful</c><00:47:02.309><c> here.</c>

00:47:03.329 --> 00:47:06.869
I'm<00:47:03.889><c> not,</c><00:47:04.570><c> there's</c><00:47:05.849><c> lots</c><00:47:06.070><c> of</c><00:47:06.170><c> things</c><00:47:06.329><c> we've</c><00:47:06.570><c> got</c><00:47:06.610><c> to</c><00:47:06.769><c> take</c>

00:47:06.869 --> 00:47:07.610
into<00:47:07.150><c> account.</c>

00:47:07.789 --> 00:47:11.550
For<00:47:08.010><c> example,</c><00:47:09.309><c> here</c><00:47:09.510><c> are</c><00:47:09.769><c> two</c><00:47:10.150><c> great</c><00:47:10.630><c> big</c><00:47:10.909><c> somethings</c><00:47:11.429><c> that</c>

00:47:11.550 --> 00:47:12.050
we've<00:47:11.869><c> made.</c>

00:47:12.230 --> 00:47:13.869
And<00:47:12.309><c> that's</c><00:47:12.889><c> just</c><00:47:13.050><c> two.</c>

00:47:14.630 --> 00:47:17.269
The<00:47:14.829><c> seven</c><00:47:14.989><c> years</c><00:47:15.289><c> to</c><00:47:15.510><c> build</c><00:47:15.710><c> Ezekiel's</c><00:47:16.369><c> temple.</c>

00:47:18.329 --> 00:47:19.389
Well,<00:47:18.550><c> we</c><00:47:18.829><c> don't</c><00:47:19.070><c> know.</c>

00:47:19.829 --> 00:47:22.909
We<00:47:20.190><c> based</c><00:47:20.469><c> it</c><00:47:20.630><c> on</c><00:47:20.809><c> Solomon's</c><00:47:21.349><c> temple</c><00:47:21.650><c> as</c><00:47:22.030><c> far</c><00:47:22.170><c> as</c><00:47:22.349><c> being</c><00:47:22.610><c> built.</c>

00:47:23.329 --> 00:47:25.030
It<00:47:23.429><c> took</c><00:47:23.610><c> seven</c><00:47:23.949><c> years.</c>

00:47:25.210 --> 00:47:28.630
But<00:47:25.409><c> here's</c><00:47:25.710><c> another</c><00:47:25.989><c> one</c><00:47:26.389><c> that,</c><00:47:27.150><c> and</c><00:47:27.389><c> this</c><00:47:27.590><c> is</c><00:47:27.829><c> the</c><00:47:28.130><c> reference</c><00:47:28.409><c> here,</c>

00:47:28.630 --> 00:47:31.329
if<00:47:28.670><c> you</c><00:47:28.829><c> want</c><00:47:29.010><c> that,</c><00:47:29.489><c> 1</c><00:47:29.570><c> Kings</c><00:47:29.849><c> chapter</c><00:47:30.329><c> 6</c><00:47:30.690><c> and</c><00:47:30.849><c> 38.</c>

00:47:31.329 --> 00:47:34.650
That<00:47:31.630><c> took</c><00:47:32.269><c> seven</c><00:47:32.650><c> years</c><00:47:32.869><c> to</c><00:47:33.070><c> build</c><00:47:33.230><c> Solomon's</c><00:47:33.829><c> temple.</c>

00:47:35.130 --> 00:47:37.449
But<00:47:35.489><c> here's</c><00:47:35.869><c> another</c><00:47:36.090><c> very</c><00:47:36.550><c> interesting</c><00:47:37.050><c> reference.</c>

00:47:37.489 --> 00:47:38.849
And<00:47:37.650><c> I'd</c><00:47:37.889><c> like</c><00:47:37.889><c> you</c><00:47:38.050><c> to</c><00:47:38.190><c> turn</c><00:47:38.309><c> this</c><00:47:38.530><c> one</c><00:47:38.650><c> up</c>

00:47:38.849 --> 00:47:41.630
because<00:47:39.030><c> I</c><00:47:39.210><c> don't</c><00:47:39.469><c> want</c><00:47:39.670><c> you</c><00:47:39.829><c> to</c><00:47:40.050><c> quote</c><00:47:40.190><c> me</c><00:47:40.510><c> and</c><00:47:40.630><c> say</c>

00:47:41.949 --> 00:47:45.550
that<00:47:42.449><c> I'm</c><00:47:42.849><c> saying</c><00:47:43.210><c> that</c><00:47:43.510><c> Jesus</c><00:47:43.690><c> is</c><00:47:43.869><c> going</c><00:47:43.929><c> to</c><00:47:44.230><c> return</c><00:47:44.469><c> in</c><00:47:44.630><c> about</c><00:47:44.849><c> two</c><00:47:45.070><c> weeks.</c>

00:47:45.690 --> 00:47:48.730
In<00:47:46.010><c> 2009</c><00:47:46.650><c> and</c><00:47:47.050><c> the</c><00:47:47.210><c> spring</c><00:47:47.510><c> of</c><00:47:47.789><c> the</c><00:47:47.909><c> year.</c>

00:47:49.789 --> 00:47:50.989
Please<00:47:50.150><c> don't.</c>

00:47:51.489 --> 00:47:53.349
But<00:47:51.989><c> here's</c><00:47:52.489><c> another</c><00:47:52.690><c> big</c><00:47:52.929><c> assumption.</c>

00:47:53.469 --> 00:47:55.429
And<00:47:53.630><c> this</c><00:47:53.829><c> one</c><00:47:53.929><c> goes</c><00:47:54.170><c> in</c><00:47:54.329><c> the</c><00:47:54.550><c> opposite</c><00:47:54.789><c> direction.</c>

00:47:55.909 --> 00:47:59.679
In<00:47:56.110><c> Ezra</c><00:47:57.409><c> chapter</c><00:47:57.750><c> 3</c><00:47:58.110><c> verses</c><00:47:58.449><c> 4</c><00:47:58.769><c> to</c><00:47:58.929><c> 6.</c>

00:48:01.329 --> 00:48:17.530
We<00:48:01.829><c> have</c><00:48:02.070><c> these</c><00:48:02.369><c> words</c><00:48:07.730><c> just</c><00:48:15.590><c> going</c><00:48:15.849><c> in</c><00:48:16.050><c> at</c><00:48:16.190><c> verse</c><00:48:16.389><c> 4.</c>

00:48:18.010 --> 00:48:22.110
This<00:48:18.150><c> is</c><00:48:18.409><c> after,</c><00:48:18.769><c> of</c><00:48:19.010><c> course,</c><00:48:21.030><c> the</c><00:48:21.130><c> exile.</c>

00:48:22.230 --> 00:48:26.130
And<00:48:22.449><c> people</c><00:48:22.690><c> have</c><00:48:22.969><c> returned</c><00:48:23.429><c> under</c><00:48:23.849><c> Ezra</c><00:48:24.489><c> to</c><00:48:24.989><c> build</c><00:48:25.510><c> the</c>

00:48:26.130 --> 00:48:26.550
temple<00:48:26.349><c> again</c>

00:48:26.550 --> 00:48:28.670
after<00:48:26.809><c> it</c><00:48:26.969><c> was</c><00:48:27.150><c> destroyed</c><00:48:27.610><c> by</c><00:48:27.989><c> Nebuchadnezzar.</c>

00:48:28.670 --> 00:48:30.090
This<00:48:28.909><c> is</c><00:48:29.110><c> under</c><00:48:29.449><c> Persia.</c>

00:48:30.090 --> 00:48:32.949
And<00:48:30.730><c> the</c><00:48:30.949><c> decree</c><00:48:31.150><c> went</c><00:48:31.429><c> forth</c><00:48:31.710><c> to</c><00:48:32.010><c> rebuild</c><00:48:32.309><c> this</c><00:48:32.590><c> temple.</c>

00:48:33.389 --> 00:48:37.010
Verse<00:48:33.510><c> 4,</c><00:48:34.489><c> they</c><00:48:34.750><c> kept</c><00:48:35.010><c> also</c><00:48:35.389><c> the</c><00:48:35.570><c> feast</c><00:48:35.769><c> of</c><00:48:35.989><c> Tabernacles,</c><00:48:36.769><c> as</c>

00:48:37.010 --> 00:48:37.570
it<00:48:37.190><c> is</c><00:48:37.389><c> written,</c>

00:48:37.690 --> 00:48:40.869
and<00:48:38.010><c> offered</c><00:48:38.349><c> the</c><00:48:38.610><c> daily</c><00:48:39.090><c> burnt</c><00:48:39.469><c> offering</c><00:48:40.050><c> by</c><00:48:40.570><c> number</c>

00:48:40.869 --> 00:48:44.170
according<00:48:41.289><c> to</c><00:48:41.510><c> the</c><00:48:41.670><c> custom</c><00:48:41.949><c> of</c><00:48:42.190><c> the</c><00:48:42.349><c> duty</c><00:48:42.730><c> of</c><00:48:43.289><c> every</c><00:48:43.510><c> day</c><00:48:43.710><c> required.</c>

00:48:44.210 --> 00:48:48.949
So<00:48:44.389><c> this</c><00:48:44.690><c> is</c><00:48:45.190><c> the,</c><00:48:45.530><c> this</c><00:48:46.389><c> is</c><00:48:46.789><c> actually</c><00:48:47.170><c> the</c><00:48:47.510><c> daily</c><00:48:47.730><c> sacrifice</c>

00:48:49.190 --> 00:48:51.429
that's<00:48:49.789><c> being</c><00:48:50.030><c> reinstituted.</c>

00:48:51.969 --> 00:48:54.829
Well,<00:48:52.269><c> is</c><00:48:52.389><c> it</c><00:48:52.690><c> reinstituted</c><00:48:53.369><c> before</c><00:48:53.929><c> the</c><00:48:54.170><c> temple's</c><00:48:54.610><c> built</c>

00:48:54.829 --> 00:48:56.469
or<00:48:55.369><c> after</c><00:48:55.670><c> the</c><00:48:55.909><c> temple's</c><00:48:56.329><c> built?</c>

00:48:56.469 --> 00:49:00.789
Well,<00:48:56.929><c> in</c><00:48:56.989><c> this</c><00:48:57.190><c> particular</c><00:48:57.630><c> case,</c><00:48:58.449><c> we</c><00:48:58.510><c> find</c><00:48:58.730><c> in</c><00:48:58.949><c> verse</c><00:48:59.750><c> 6,</c>

00:49:00.929 --> 00:49:02.690
the<00:49:01.070><c> temple</c><00:49:01.230><c> hadn't</c><00:49:01.389><c> been</c><00:49:01.650><c> built</c><00:49:01.809><c> yet.</c>

00:49:03.389 --> 00:49:07.510
So<00:49:04.030><c> it's</c><00:49:04.670><c> going</c><00:49:04.829><c> in</c><00:49:05.050><c> the</c><00:49:05.230><c> opposite</c><00:49:05.590><c> direction</c><00:49:06.070><c> as</c><00:49:06.449><c> to</c><00:49:06.710><c> what</c><00:49:06.869><c> we</c><00:49:07.190><c> said</c>

00:49:07.510 --> 00:49:12.289
that<00:49:08.309><c> it</c><00:49:09.210><c> would</c><00:49:09.489><c> be</c><00:49:10.469><c> after</c><00:49:11.070><c> the</c><00:49:11.510><c> temple</c><00:49:11.690><c> was</c><00:49:11.989><c> built.</c>

00:49:12.710 --> 00:49:14.909
In<00:49:12.849><c> this</c><00:49:13.070><c> particular</c><00:49:13.389><c> case,</c><00:49:13.829><c> it's</c><00:49:14.030><c> before.</c>

00:49:16.789 --> 00:49:17.570
So<00:49:16.909><c> that's</c><00:49:17.530><c> right.</c>

00:49:17.630 --> 00:49:20.269
And<00:49:17.809><c> just</c><00:49:18.510><c> a</c><00:49:18.730><c> couple</c><00:49:18.929><c> of</c><00:49:19.250><c> the</c><00:49:19.389><c> assumptions.</c>

00:49:20.449 --> 00:49:24.090
What<00:49:20.710><c> I'm</c><00:49:20.969><c> trying</c><00:49:21.150><c> to</c><00:49:21.369><c> do</c><00:49:21.789><c> is</c><00:49:22.110><c> these</c><00:49:22.389><c> things</c><00:49:22.730><c> I</c><00:49:23.070><c> find</c><00:49:23.389><c> help</c><00:49:23.829><c> to</c>

00:49:24.090 --> 00:49:24.750
keep<00:49:24.170><c> me</c><00:49:24.489><c> watching.</c>

00:49:24.750 --> 00:49:27.469
I'm<00:49:25.610><c> not</c><00:49:25.829><c> dogmatic</c><00:49:26.389><c> in</c><00:49:26.730><c> any</c><00:49:26.989><c> way</c><00:49:27.110><c> here,</c>

00:49:27.469 --> 00:49:30.750
but<00:49:28.289><c> these</c><00:49:28.550><c> are</c><00:49:28.690><c> very,</c><00:49:28.969><c> very</c><00:49:29.250><c> interesting</c><00:49:29.610><c> to</c><00:49:29.809><c> look</c><00:49:30.010><c> at.</c>

00:49:32.570 --> 00:49:35.190
So<00:49:32.989><c> this</c><00:49:33.349><c> coming</c><00:49:33.590><c> back,</c><00:49:34.090><c> this</c><00:49:34.329><c> is</c><00:49:34.570><c> the</c><00:49:34.750><c> 10</c><00:49:34.909><c> years.</c>

00:49:35.289 --> 00:49:37.010
And<00:49:35.429><c> this</c><00:49:35.630><c> again</c><00:49:35.909><c> is</c><00:49:36.409><c> an</c><00:49:36.489><c> assumption.</c>

00:49:37.289 --> 00:49:40.050
We<00:49:37.550><c> have</c><00:49:37.730><c> to</c><00:49:37.889><c> go</c><00:49:38.070><c> about</c><00:49:38.230><c> this</c><00:49:38.489><c> by</c><00:49:38.789><c> a</c><00:49:38.909><c> lot</c><00:49:39.030><c> of</c><00:49:39.210><c> arithmetic.</c>

00:49:40.269 --> 00:49:44.769
We<00:49:40.469><c> say</c><00:49:40.610><c> this</c><00:49:40.809><c> whole</c><00:49:41.090><c> thing</c><00:49:41.309><c> took</c><00:49:41.530><c> a</c><00:49:41.750><c> Jubilee</c><00:49:42.130><c> period</c><00:49:42.710><c> of</c><00:49:43.949><c> 50</c><00:49:44.230><c> years.</c>

00:49:44.929 --> 00:49:47.570
And<00:49:45.170><c> that's</c><00:49:45.449><c> a</c><00:49:45.550><c> little</c><00:49:45.690><c> bit</c><00:49:45.849><c> hard</c><00:49:46.030><c> to</c><00:49:46.289><c> develop</c><00:49:46.489><c> in</c><00:49:46.690><c> itself.</c>

00:49:47.730 --> 00:49:51.309
And<00:49:47.949><c> then</c><00:49:48.269><c> we</c><00:49:48.550><c> say,</c><00:49:48.789><c> okay,</c><00:49:49.369><c> if</c><00:49:49.590><c> it's</c><00:49:49.650><c> 50</c><00:49:49.869><c> years,</c><00:49:50.610><c> we</c><00:49:50.849><c> have</c><00:49:51.010><c> this</c>

00:49:51.309 --> 00:49:51.989
period<00:49:51.650><c> here</c>

00:49:51.989 --> 00:49:56.250
in<00:49:52.289><c> Micah</c><00:49:52.590><c> chapter</c><00:49:52.949><c> 7</c><00:49:53.449><c> and</c><00:49:53.829><c> verse</c><00:49:54.090><c> 15</c><00:49:54.829><c> of</c><00:49:55.469><c> 40</c><00:49:55.769><c> years.</c>

00:49:56.550 --> 00:49:58.550
And<00:49:56.650><c> we</c><00:49:56.789><c> do</c><00:49:56.989><c> the</c><00:49:57.190><c> subtraction</c><00:49:57.730><c> from</c><00:49:57.909><c> the</c><00:49:58.070><c> 50</c><00:49:58.289><c> years</c>

00:49:58.550 --> 00:49:59.889
and<00:49:58.690><c> we</c><00:49:58.809><c> get</c><00:49:58.929><c> the</c><00:49:59.110><c> 10</c><00:49:59.269><c>-year</c><00:49:59.429><c> period</c>

00:49:59.889 --> 00:50:03.630
between<00:50:00.630><c> Christ's</c><00:50:01.190><c> return</c><00:50:01.309><c> as</c><00:50:01.570><c> a</c><00:50:01.710><c> thief</c><00:50:01.949><c> and</c><00:50:02.670><c> Armageddon.</c>

00:50:04.070 --> 00:50:07.389
So<00:50:04.250><c> there's</c><00:50:04.530><c> a</c><00:50:04.690><c> lot</c><00:50:04.750><c> of</c><00:50:04.949><c> assumptions</c><00:50:05.349><c> in</c><00:50:05.690><c> there,</c><00:50:05.969><c> as</c><00:50:06.210><c> you</c><00:50:06.309><c> can</c><00:50:06.489><c> see.</c>

00:50:11.030 --> 00:50:14.269
Now,<00:50:11.690><c> Jesus</c><00:50:12.050><c> is</c><00:50:12.289><c> very</c><00:50:12.869><c> clear</c><00:50:13.170><c> here.</c>

00:50:14.650 --> 00:50:17.250
And<00:50:15.110><c> gets</c><00:50:15.250><c> down</c><00:50:15.489><c> to</c><00:50:15.750><c> interpretation</c><00:50:16.289><c> a</c><00:50:16.409><c> little</c><00:50:16.530><c> bit.</c>

00:50:17.510 --> 00:50:19.769
But<00:50:17.650><c> in</c><00:50:17.869><c> verse</c><00:50:18.150><c> 36</c><00:50:18.730><c> of</c><00:50:18.869><c> Matthew</c><00:50:19.190><c> 24,</c>

00:50:19.769 --> 00:50:22.030

00:50:22.230 --> 00:50:25.750
know<00:50:22.349><c> not</c><00:50:22.610><c> the</c><00:50:22.809><c> angels</c><00:50:23.030><c> of</c><00:50:23.250><c> heaven,</c><00:50:23.909><c> but</c><00:50:24.070><c> my</c><00:50:24.269><c> father</c><00:50:24.610><c> only.</c>

00:50:27.190 --> 00:50:32.369
And<00:50:27.630><c> we</c><00:50:27.849><c> say,</c><00:50:28.289><c> okay,</c><00:50:29.949><c> day</c><00:50:31.349><c> and</c><00:50:31.550><c> hour.</c>

00:50:33.190 --> 00:50:35.170
And<00:50:33.550><c> in</c><00:50:33.710><c> the</c><00:50:33.809><c> Greek,</c><00:50:33.969><c> that's</c><00:50:34.289><c> not</c><00:50:34.630><c> the</c><00:50:34.989><c> words</c>

00:50:35.170 --> 00:50:37.210
that<00:50:35.389><c> are</c><00:50:35.489><c> used</c><00:50:35.670><c> for</c><00:50:35.889><c> time</c><00:50:36.150><c> and</c><00:50:36.369><c> seasons.</c>

00:50:38.349 --> 00:50:41.130
But<00:50:38.789><c> in</c><00:50:39.130><c> this</c><00:50:39.269><c> particular</c><00:50:39.690><c> context,</c><00:50:40.590><c> we</c><00:50:40.730><c> would</c><00:50:40.889><c> say,</c>

00:50:41.369 --> 00:50:43.210
is<00:50:41.510><c> he</c><00:50:41.670><c> just</c><00:50:41.889><c> talking</c><00:50:42.210><c> about</c><00:50:42.409><c> the</c><00:50:42.610><c> day</c><00:50:42.750><c> and</c><00:50:42.889><c> hour</c><00:50:43.010><c> here?</c>

00:50:43.230 --> 00:50:47.789
Or<00:50:43.409><c> is</c><00:50:43.530><c> he</c><00:50:43.710><c> just</c><00:50:44.289><c> saying</c><00:50:45.909><c> that</c><00:50:46.289><c> we</c><00:50:46.469><c> don't</c><00:50:46.789><c> know?</c>

00:50:48.030 --> 00:50:50.030
And<00:50:48.670><c> how</c><00:50:48.670><c> do</c><00:50:49.250><c> we</c><00:50:49.289><c> interpret</c><00:50:49.690><c> that?</c>

00:50:50.389 --> 00:50:51.570
Well,<00:50:50.570><c> we</c><00:50:50.730><c> get</c><00:50:50.869><c> over</c><00:50:51.090><c> that</c><00:50:51.349><c> hurdle.</c>

00:50:51.730 --> 00:50:53.050
Here's<00:50:52.030><c> another</c><00:50:52.230><c> one.</c>

00:50:53.769 --> 00:50:57.429
And<00:50:53.949><c> this</c><00:50:54.090><c> is</c><00:50:54.210><c> a</c><00:50:54.289><c> big</c><00:50:54.409><c> one,</c><00:50:55.230><c> Daniel</c><00:50:55.610><c> chapter</c><00:50:56.090><c> 2</c><00:50:56.449><c> and</c><00:50:56.630><c> verse</c><00:50:56.829><c> 21.</c>

00:50:57.909 --> 00:51:01.610
And<00:50:58.070><c> he</c><00:50:58.349><c> changes</c><00:50:59.030><c> the</c><00:50:59.550><c> times</c><00:51:00.030><c> and</c><00:51:00.630><c> seasons.</c>

00:51:02.789 --> 00:51:05.130
He<00:51:02.909><c> removes</c><00:51:03.250><c> gains</c><00:51:03.550><c> and</c><00:51:03.869><c> set</c><00:51:04.010><c> it</c><00:51:04.170><c> up</c><00:51:04.289><c> gains.</c>

00:51:06.110 --> 00:51:09.909
So<00:51:06.750><c> we</c><00:51:07.389><c> have</c><00:51:07.650><c> that</c><00:51:08.269><c> hurdle</c><00:51:08.590><c> as</c><00:51:09.090><c> well.</c>

00:51:11.489 --> 00:51:13.849
So<00:51:11.690><c> why</c><00:51:11.929><c> do</c><00:51:12.050><c> men</c><00:51:12.210><c> try</c><00:51:12.590><c> and</c><00:51:12.909><c> predict</c><00:51:13.190><c> the</c><00:51:13.530><c> year</c>

00:51:13.849 --> 00:51:16.289
and<00:51:14.170><c> the</c><00:51:14.389><c> season</c><00:51:14.670><c> of</c><00:51:14.989><c> Jesus'</c><00:51:15.610><c> return?</c>

00:51:16.710 --> 00:51:20.570
Because<00:51:17.190><c> many</c><00:51:17.570><c> prophecies</c><00:51:19.110><c> contain</c><00:51:19.849><c> time</c><00:51:20.170><c> periods.</c>

00:51:20.909 --> 00:51:23.409
And<00:51:20.989><c> we</c><00:51:21.090><c> just</c><00:51:21.349><c> noted</c><00:51:21.550><c> one</c><00:51:21.789><c> here</c><00:51:22.030><c> in</c><00:51:22.190><c> Daniel</c><00:51:22.650><c> chapter</c><00:51:23.050><c> 12.</c>

00:51:23.469 --> 00:51:26.329
There's<00:51:23.670><c> one</c><00:51:23.849><c> that</c><00:51:24.070><c> I</c><00:51:24.090><c> think</c><00:51:24.389><c> parallels</c><00:51:24.730><c> it</c><00:51:24.989><c> in</c><00:51:25.150><c> chapter</c><00:51:25.389><c> 8.</c>

00:51:26.570 --> 00:51:28.210
We're<00:51:26.690><c> not</c><00:51:26.869><c> gonna</c><00:51:26.989><c> go</c><00:51:27.150><c> into</c><00:51:27.309><c> that.</c>

00:51:28.889 --> 00:51:31.010
Also,<00:51:29.570><c> we</c><00:51:29.730><c> find</c><00:51:29.909><c> in</c><00:51:30.070><c> the</c><00:51:30.269><c> Proverbs,</c><00:51:30.809><c> it</c><00:51:30.809><c> says,</c>

00:51:31.230 --> 00:51:33.210
is<00:51:31.230><c> the</c><00:51:31.389><c> glory</c><00:51:31.690><c> of</c><00:51:31.889><c> God</c><00:51:32.090><c> to</c><00:51:32.329><c> conceal</c><00:51:32.710><c> a</c><00:51:32.949><c> thing,</c>

00:51:33.530 --> 00:51:36.949
but<00:51:33.690><c> the</c><00:51:34.010><c> honor</c><00:51:34.250><c> of</c><00:51:34.550><c> kings</c><00:51:34.909><c> do</c><00:51:35.469><c> search</c><00:51:35.710><c> out</c><00:51:35.909><c> the</c><00:51:36.130><c> matter.</c>

00:51:37.130 --> 00:51:41.690
And<00:51:37.590><c> we</c><00:51:37.809><c> hope</c><00:51:37.949><c> to</c><00:51:38.130><c> be</c><00:51:38.309><c> kings</c><00:51:38.750><c> and</c><00:51:39.110><c> priests</c><00:51:39.570><c> in</c><00:51:40.210><c> the</c><00:51:40.349><c> kingdom</c><00:51:40.570><c> of</c><00:51:40.849><c> God.</c>

00:51:42.010 --> 00:51:44.570
So<00:51:42.210><c> searching</c><00:51:42.449><c> out</c><00:51:42.670><c> the</c><00:51:42.869><c> matter</c><00:51:43.329><c> certainly</c>

00:51:44.570 --> 00:51:47.030
can<00:51:45.250><c> help</c><00:51:45.530><c> to</c><00:51:45.730><c> keep</c><00:51:45.829><c> us</c><00:51:46.050><c> awake</c><00:51:46.489><c> and</c><00:51:46.789><c> watching,</c>

00:51:47.289 --> 00:51:49.969
which<00:51:47.349><c> I</c><00:51:47.530><c> think</c><00:51:47.710><c> is</c><00:51:47.909><c> a</c><00:51:48.010><c> very</c><00:51:48.269><c> important</c><00:51:48.610><c> thing</c><00:51:48.829><c> to</c><00:51:48.989><c> do.</c>

00:51:50.949 --> 00:51:54.210
But<00:51:50.949><c> also</c><00:51:51.690><c> pride,</c><00:51:52.090><c> of</c><00:51:52.530><c> course,</c><00:51:52.690><c> enters</c><00:51:53.010><c> into</c><00:51:53.309><c> this.</c>

00:51:54.550 --> 00:51:59.070
And<00:51:54.550><c> many</c><00:51:55.070><c> say,</c><00:51:57.789><c> where</c><00:51:57.829><c> is</c><00:51:58.050><c> the</c><00:51:58.230><c> promise</c><00:51:58.469><c> of</c><00:51:58.650><c> his</c><00:51:58.809><c> coming?</c>

00:51:59.309 --> 00:52:00.710
For<00:51:59.309><c> since</c><00:51:59.630><c> the</c><00:51:59.849><c> falters</c><00:52:00.130><c> fell</c><00:52:00.389><c> asleep,</c>

00:52:00.730 --> 00:52:04.210
this<00:52:00.969><c> is</c><00:52:01.230><c> in</c><00:52:01.449><c> 2</c><00:52:01.670><c> Peter</c><00:52:01.969><c> chapter</c><00:52:02.389><c> 3</c><00:52:02.789><c> and</c><00:52:02.929><c> verse</c><00:52:03.190><c> 4,</c>

00:52:04.829 --> 00:52:06.809
all<00:52:05.050><c> things</c><00:52:05.329><c> continue</c><00:52:05.809><c> as</c><00:52:06.130><c> they</c><00:52:06.550><c> were</c>

from<00:52:07.150><c> the</c><00:52:07.389><c> beginning</c><00:52:07.650><c> of</c><00:52:07.929><c> the</c><00:52:08.110><c> creation.</c>

00:52:08.630 --> 00:52:11.489
And<00:52:08.809><c> I</c><00:52:08.849><c> think</c><00:52:09.110><c> a</c><00:52:09.349><c> reasonable</c><00:52:09.670><c> lot</c><00:52:10.170><c> of</c><00:52:10.289><c> people</c><00:52:10.630><c> say</c><00:52:10.969><c> this</c>

00:52:11.489 --> 00:52:13.650
is<00:52:11.829><c> people</c><00:52:12.130><c> have</c><00:52:12.309><c> come</c><00:52:12.449><c> out</c><00:52:12.690><c> and</c><00:52:12.869><c> made</c><00:52:13.050><c> predictions</c>

00:52:13.650 --> 00:52:16.349
that<00:52:14.090><c> Christ</c><00:52:14.349><c> is</c><00:52:14.550><c> gonna</c><00:52:14.769><c> return</c><00:52:15.210><c> in</c><00:52:15.469><c> such</c><00:52:15.630><c> and</c><00:52:15.809><c> such</c><00:52:15.989><c> a</c><00:52:16.150><c> year,</c>

00:52:16.489 --> 00:52:18.030
at<00:52:16.550><c> such</c><00:52:16.690><c> and</c><00:52:16.849><c> such</c><00:52:17.030><c> a</c><00:52:17.190><c> time.</c>

00:52:18.670 --> 00:52:21.110
And<00:52:19.170><c> that</c><00:52:19.409><c> defeats</c><00:52:19.829><c> what</c><00:52:19.969><c> we're</c><00:52:20.170><c> trying</c><00:52:20.409><c> to</c><00:52:20.570><c> do</c><00:52:20.690><c> here.</c>

00:52:21.389 --> 00:52:28.769
Because<00:52:21.730><c> of</c><00:52:21.989><c> that,</c><00:52:22.750><c> many</c><00:52:22.849><c> will</c><00:52:23.130><c> say,</c><00:52:24.289><c> oh,</c><00:52:25.210><c> this</c><00:52:25.329><c> can't</c><00:52:27.809><c> be</c><00:52:27.989><c> right.</c>

00:52:29.929 --> 00:52:31.889
So<00:52:30.210><c> why</c><00:52:30.429><c> do</c><00:52:30.570><c> we</c><00:52:30.710><c> ask</c><00:52:30.889><c> these</c><00:52:31.170><c> type</c><00:52:31.349><c> of</c><00:52:31.530><c> questions?</c>

00:52:32.150 --> 00:52:34.030
Coming<00:52:32.349><c> back,</c><00:52:32.969><c> which</c><00:52:33.070><c> I</c><00:52:33.289><c> think</c><00:52:33.389><c> is</c><00:52:33.550><c> important.</c>

00:52:34.510 --> 00:52:38.469
Bible<00:52:34.849><c> prophecy</c><00:52:35.349><c> gives</c><00:52:35.710><c> vision,</c><00:52:36.570><c> hope,</c><00:52:37.130><c> and</c><00:52:37.349><c> motivation.</c>

00:52:39.250 --> 00:52:40.750
And<00:52:39.750><c> we</c><00:52:39.949><c> can</c><00:52:40.150><c> prove</c><00:52:40.349><c> that.</c>

00:52:40.750 --> 00:52:43.429
Proverbs<00:52:41.670><c> chapter</c><00:52:42.110><c> 29</c><00:52:42.650><c> verse</c><00:52:42.949><c> 18,</c>

00:52:43.650 --> 00:52:46.610
where<00:52:43.650><c> there</c><00:52:43.789><c> is</c><00:52:44.010><c> no</c><00:52:44.250><c> vision,</c><00:52:45.190><c> the</c><00:52:45.329><c> people</c><00:52:45.570><c> perish.</c>

00:52:47.269 --> 00:52:49.170
So<00:52:47.409><c> certainly</c><00:52:47.670><c> the</c><00:52:48.010><c> prophecies</c><00:52:48.389><c> give</c><00:52:48.630><c> us</c><00:52:48.789><c> vision</c>

00:52:49.170 --> 00:52:51.710
and<00:52:49.809><c> they</c><00:52:50.130><c> help</c><00:52:50.250><c> us</c><00:52:50.489><c> to</c><00:52:50.630><c> keep</c><00:52:50.789><c> awake.</c>

00:52:52.590 --> 00:52:55.469
Bible<00:52:52.949><c> prophecy</c><00:52:53.349><c> helps</c><00:52:53.670><c> in</c><00:52:53.929><c> keeping</c><00:52:54.170><c> God's</c><00:52:54.670><c> word</c><00:52:54.849><c> in</c><00:52:55.030><c> our</c><00:52:55.250><c> thoughts</c>

00:52:55.469 --> 00:52:58.090
as<00:52:55.650><c> we</c><00:52:55.829><c> try</c><00:52:56.050><c> to</c><00:52:56.309><c> search</c><00:52:56.550><c> these</c><00:52:56.769><c> things</c><00:52:57.050><c> out.</c>

00:52:58.130 --> 00:53:01.630
We<00:52:58.349><c> come</c><00:52:58.610><c> to</c><00:52:59.130><c> love</c><00:52:59.730><c> God's</c><00:53:00.869><c> law.</c>

00:53:01.809 --> 00:53:04.369
It<00:53:02.030><c> becomes</c><00:53:02.250><c> our</c><00:53:02.530><c> meditation</c><00:53:03.030><c> all</c><00:53:03.409><c> the</c><00:53:03.590><c> day.</c>

00:53:04.670 --> 00:53:07.030
And<00:53:05.110><c> it</c><00:53:05.329><c> also</c><00:53:05.590><c> helps</c><00:53:05.869><c> us</c><00:53:06.150><c> get</c><00:53:06.269><c> understanding.</c>

00:53:07.449 --> 00:53:10.510
And<00:53:07.670><c> therefore</c><00:53:07.929><c> we</c><00:53:08.269><c> hate,</c><00:53:08.710><c> we</c><00:53:08.809><c> see</c><00:53:09.070><c> through</c><00:53:09.570><c> this</c><00:53:10.070><c> world</c>

00:53:10.510 --> 00:53:12.050
and<00:53:10.869><c> its</c><00:53:11.150><c> ways.</c>

00:53:13.489 --> 00:53:16.610
And<00:53:14.110><c> it's</c><00:53:14.409><c> fun</c><00:53:14.630><c> to</c><00:53:14.969><c> find</c><00:53:15.110><c> the</c><00:53:15.289><c> hidden</c><00:53:15.409><c> treasure</c><00:53:15.730><c> of</c><00:53:15.889><c> God's</c><00:53:16.329><c> word,</c>

00:53:16.929 --> 00:53:18.750
which<00:53:17.190><c> builds</c><00:53:17.489><c> faith,</c><00:53:18.090><c> gives</c><00:53:18.349><c> incentive</c>

00:53:18.750 --> 00:53:21.949
to<00:53:18.969><c> search</c><00:53:19.269><c> the</c><00:53:19.449><c> scriptures</c><00:53:19.809><c> and</c><00:53:20.829><c> to</c><00:53:21.329><c> take</c><00:53:21.570><c> heed.</c>

00:53:22.409 --> 00:53:25.909
As<00:53:22.969><c> the</c><00:53:23.170><c> first</c><00:53:23.389><c> century</c><00:53:23.949><c> Jewish</c><00:53:24.469><c> Christians</c><00:53:25.010><c> did,</c>

00:53:26.329 --> 00:53:29.309
they<00:53:26.949><c> understood</c><00:53:27.570><c> the</c><00:53:27.969><c> orbit</c><00:53:28.250><c> prophecy.</c>

00:53:30.429 --> 00:53:33.389
They<00:53:31.050><c> understood</c><00:53:31.670><c> that</c><00:53:31.929><c> Jerusalem</c><00:53:32.309><c> was</c><00:53:32.570><c> gonna</c><00:53:32.690><c> be</c><00:53:33.130><c> destroyed.</c>

00:53:33.449 --> 00:53:35.920
This<00:53:33.610><c> is</c><00:53:33.829><c> a</c><00:53:33.969><c> picture</c><00:53:34.230><c> here</c><00:53:34.429><c> of</c><00:53:34.610><c> the</c><00:53:34.769><c> Roman</c><00:53:34.949><c> armies</c><00:53:35.349><c> in</c><00:53:35.610><c> that.</c>
