00:38:57.260 --> 00:38:59.400
So<00:38:57.539><c> what</c><00:38:57.719><c> they</c><00:38:58.079><c> believed</c><00:38:58.380><c> was</c><00:38:58.599><c> that</c><00:38:58.820><c> the</c><00:38:59.119><c> power</c>

00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:11.800
Here's<00:39:10.599><c> another</c><00:39:10.800><c> writing.</c>

00:39:13.820 --> 00:39:15.940

And<00:39:16.699><c> just</c><00:39:16.900><c> see</c><00:39:17.039><c> how</c><00:39:17.280><c> remarkable</c><00:39:17.679><c> this</c><00:39:17.960><c> is.</c>

00:39:19.420 --> 00:39:21.639
And<00:39:19.659><c> there</c><00:39:19.880><c> is</c><00:39:20.219><c> another</c><00:39:20.519><c> great</c><00:39:21.000><c> necessity</c>

00:39:21.639 --> 00:39:24.119

00:39:40.139 --> 00:39:41.960
Therefore<00:39:40.500><c> we</c><00:39:40.679><c> are</c><00:39:41.019><c> unwilling</c><00:39:41.360><c> to</c><00:39:41.639><c> put</c><00:39:41.780><c> it,</c>

00:40:02.199 --> 00:40:04.739
Why<00:40:02.420><c> would</c><00:40:02.579><c> they</c><00:40:02.840><c> pray</c><00:40:03.039><c> for</c><00:40:03.280><c> pagan</c><00:40:03.539><c> Romanism</c><00:40:03.980><c> to</c><00:40:04.159><c> be</c><00:40:04.360><c> preserved</c>

00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:08.840
So<00:43:06.820><c> the</c><00:43:06.940><c> one</c><00:43:07.099><c> prophecy</c><00:43:07.400><c> is</c><00:43:07.579><c> a</c><00:43:07.659><c> woman</c><00:43:07.820><c> and</c><00:43:07.960><c> the</c><00:43:08.059><c> other</c><00:43:08.239><c> is</c><00:43:08.360><c> a</c><00:43:08.500><c> man,</c>

00:43:15.139 --> 00:43:17.300

00:50:28.539 --> 00:50:29.659
You<00:50:28.659><c> might</c><00:50:28.860><c> not</c><00:50:28.980><c> have</c><00:50:29.099><c> heard</c><00:50:29.199><c> a</c><00:50:29.199><c> lot</c><00:50:29.380><c> about</c><00:50:29.559><c> it,</c>

00:50:29.659 --> 00:50:31.840

You<00:50:56.579><c> realize</c><00:50:56.780><c> what</c><00:50:56.920><c> I'm</c><00:50:57.139><c> saying</c><00:50:57.420><c> here.</c>

00:50:59.300 --> 00:51:02.000

00:51:50.340 --> 00:51:51.500
Now,<00:51:50.420><c> what's</c><00:51:50.699><c> interesting</c><00:51:51.079><c> is,</c><00:51:51.360><c> well,</c>

00:51:51.500 --> 00:51:52.380

Now,<00:52:01.400><c> that</c><00:52:01.739><c> throne</c><00:52:02.260><c> is</c><00:52:02.739><c> the</c><00:52:02.960><c> cathedral,</c>

00:52:08.559 --> 00:52:11.400
But<00:52:08.619><c> you</c><00:52:08.719><c> see,</c><00:52:09.239><c> 2</c><00:52:09.380><c> Thessalonians</c><00:52:10.059><c> 2,</c><00:52:10.400><c> verse</c><00:52:10.659><c> 4</c><00:52:11.019><c> said,</c>

00:59:50.780 --> 00:59:52.059
Have<00:59:50.920><c> you</c><00:59:50.940><c> ever</c><00:59:51.099><c> seen</c><00:59:51.199><c> that</c><00:59:51.400><c> phrase</c><00:59:51.659><c> before?</c>

00:59:52.179 --> 00:59:53.760
I<00:59:52.320><c> wonder</c><00:59:52.460><c> how</c><00:59:52.599><c> many</c><00:59:52.800><c> times</c><00:59:53.139><c> Christadelphians</c>

00:59:55.500 --> 00:59:57.820
Probably<00:59:55.840><c> quite</c><00:59:56.099><c> a</c><00:59:56.260><c> few,</c><00:59:56.559><c> don't</c><00:59:56.699><c> you</c><00:59:56.820><c> think?</c>

00:59:59.079 --> 01:00:00.960
But<00:59:59.179><c> have</c><00:59:59.280><c> you</c><00:59:59.300><c> ever</c><00:59:59.500><c> seen</c><00:59:59.679><c> this</c><00:59:59.960><c> verse,</c>

01:00:01.920 --> 01:00:04.760

01:00:05.320 --> 01:00:08.280
And<01:00:05.420><c> I</c><01:00:05.539><c> will</c><01:00:05.760><c> punish</c><01:00:06.239><c> Bel</c><01:00:06.840><c> in</c><01:00:07.239><c> Babylon,</c>

that<01:00:48.880><c> finally</c><01:00:49.159><c> there</c><01:00:49.260><c> will</c><01:00:49.440><c> be</c><01:00:49.559><c> an</c><01:00:49.739><c> overthrow</c>

01:00:50.019 --> 01:00:51.719
of<01:00:50.239><c> the</c><01:00:50.360><c> temple</c><01:00:50.619><c> of</c><01:00:50.840><c> Babylon</c>

01:00:51.739 --> 01:00:53.920

01:00:56.760 --> 01:00:59.139
Well,<01:00:57.119><c> that's</c><01:00:57.460><c> really</c><01:00:57.760><c> the</c><01:00:58.159><c> end</c><01:00:58.320><c> of</c><01:00:58.559><c> the</c><01:00:58.619><c> story,</c><01:00:58.860><c> isn't</c><01:00:59.039><c> it?</c>

01:00:59.260 --> 01:01:01.360
Because<01:00:59.659><c> you</c><01:00:59.920><c> see</c><01:01:00.000><c> what</c><01:01:00.139><c> it</c><01:01:00.340><c> says</c>

01:01:01.780 --> 01:01:04.320
in<01:01:02.300><c> Revelation</c><01:01:02.820><c> chapter</c><01:01:03.219><c> 18.</c>

01:01:04.780 --> 01:01:07.340
And<01:01:04.960><c> now,</c><01:01:05.360><c> again,</c><01:01:05.940><c> perhaps</c><01:01:06.260><c> another</c><01:01:06.699><c> perspective</c>

01:01:07.340 --> 01:01:12.519
on<01:01:07.820><c> the</c><01:01:08.099><c> significance</c><01:01:08.739><c> of</c><01:01:09.239><c> what's</c><01:01:09.539><c> going</c><01:01:09.860><c> on</c><01:01:10.119><c> in</c><01:01:10.539><c> Revelation</c><01:01:11.019><c> 18.</c>

01:01:13.079 --> 01:01:15.840
Because<01:01:13.199><c> Revelation</c><01:01:13.619><c> 18</c><01:01:14.059><c> says</c><01:01:14.400><c> this.</c>

01:01:22.380 --> 01:01:28.460
Revelation<01:01:23.019><c> 18,</c><01:01:24.719><c> and</c><01:01:25.119><c> perhaps</c><01:01:25.659><c> reading</c><01:01:26.500><c> from</c><01:01:27.659><c> verse</c><01:01:28.019><c> 9,</c>

01:01:28.599 --> 01:01:30.019
where<01:01:28.679><c> it</c><01:01:28.900><c> says,</c>

01:01:30.539 --> 01:01:31.739
and<01:01:30.659><c> the</c><01:01:30.739><c> kings</c><01:01:31.000><c> of</c><01:01:31.179><c> the</c><01:01:31.340><c> earth,</c>

01:01:32.039 --> 01:01:33.679
actually,<01:01:32.340><c> I</c><01:01:32.380><c> think</c><01:01:32.519><c> we</c><01:01:32.619><c> might</c><01:01:32.760><c> start</c><01:01:33.000><c> with</c><01:01:33.159><c> verse</c><01:01:33.360><c> 8,</c>

01:01:33.679 --> 01:01:37.400
Therefore<01:01:34.559><c> shall</c><01:01:34.940><c> her</c><01:01:35.300><c> plagues</c><01:01:36.440><c> come</c><01:01:36.679><c> in</c><01:01:36.880><c> one</c><01:01:37.159><c> day,</c>

01:01:37.440 --> 01:01:39.159
death<01:01:37.820><c> and</c><01:01:38.179><c> mourning</c><01:01:38.480><c> and</c><01:01:38.860><c> famine,</c>

01:01:39.500 --> 01:01:43.320
and<01:01:39.900><c> she</c><01:01:40.619><c> shall</c><01:01:41.179><c> be</c><01:01:41.519><c> utterly</c><01:01:41.980><c> burned</c><01:01:42.340><c> with</c><01:01:42.780><c> fire,</c>

01:01:43.539 --> 01:01:45.840
for<01:01:43.760><c> strong</c><01:01:43.980><c> is</c><01:01:44.139><c> the</c><01:01:44.260><c> Lord</c><01:01:44.440><c> God</c><01:01:44.699><c> that</c><01:01:45.000><c> judgeth</c><01:01:45.380><c> her.</c>

01:01:46.179 --> 01:01:50.039
She<01:01:46.539><c> shall</c><01:01:46.800><c> be</c><01:01:47.219><c> utterly</c><01:01:47.679><c> burned</c><01:01:48.320><c> with</c><01:01:48.940><c> fire.</c>

01:01:50.280 --> 01:01:52.699
Oh,<01:01:50.760><c> do</c><01:01:50.940><c> you</c><01:01:51.000><c> remember</c><01:01:51.239><c> that,</c><01:01:51.559><c> brothers</c><01:01:51.719><c> and</c><01:01:51.900><c> sisters?</c>

01:01:54.059 --> 01:01:55.360
Isn't<01:01:54.239><c> that</c><01:01:54.440><c> what</c><01:01:54.579><c> Nebuchadnezzar</c><01:01:55.179><c> did</c>

01:01:55.360 --> 01:01:57.579
in<01:01:55.579><c> 2</c><01:01:55.800><c> Chronicles</c><01:01:56.239><c> 36?</c>

01:01:58.519 --> 01:01:59.239
When<01:01:58.659><c> he</c><01:01:58.719><c> came</c><01:01:58.980><c> down</c>

01:01:59.239 --> 01:02:02.199

01:02:04.159 --> 01:02:06.920
And<01:02:04.239><c> now</c><01:02:04.619><c> Revelation</c><01:02:05.059><c> 18</c><01:02:05.519><c> is</c><01:02:05.820><c> full</c><01:02:06.219><c> circle,</c><01:02:06.760><c> you</c><01:02:06.800><c> see,</c>
