We pray amen. Amen Okay All right. Welcome everyone. Let's Pick up from where we pause last week we Gave an introduction to What we're going to be covering in this course on the end times And then after that we went through part of chapter one and so I'm just sharing that The where we try to point to a few prophecies in the Bible To establish for us that the Bible is a prophetic book that there are many things in the many scriptures in the Bible that have foretold events and These events have come to pass right so right from God speaking to Abraham about the Egyptian slavery about the Babylonian captivity about Cyrus the king of Persia and Isaiah mentioning his name and saying that he will tell the people to return to Jerusalem. That was also fulfilled The amazing prophecy by Daniel or given to Daniel about the 70 weeks We will look at it in some detail later on and also in the second in the third year when we talk when we study the book of Daniel Daniel's 70 weeks where part of it is 69 weeks or 69 times seven 483 years from the time of King Cyrus giving the decree to go back and rebel Jerusalem to the coming of the Messiah Right, so that was also fulfilled Many prophecies concerning Christ, you know about Jesus him coming We've listed some here Those who fulfill the destruction of the temple the re-gathering of Israel and so on so This is just a short list to show us that The prophecies given in the Bible Are reliable? Okay in the past they have been fulfilled So we can all the prophecies we're going to read about the future. We can be sure that they will be fulfilled Right, so let's pick up now on page 17 Where we ask the question are we living in the end times? Are we living in the end times? now in scripture We will find the phrase of Phrases latter latter days last days latter times End of time time of the end these phrases many places used now It's only talking about it's talking about a period that is It's actually talking about a very long periods, you know It's not referring to one particular event, you know that that phrase the way it is used It could refer it for example example Joel prophesied In the last days, I will pour out my spirit It had happened acts after two Peter stands up and says Joel prophesied in the last days I will pour out my spirit and he says this is That I mean so what was happening in Jerusalem at that time was a fulfillment of that Now we are Towards the end of the last days, which is another 2000 years and we are still Experiencing believing God for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. So you in one sense The last days according to the way it's used in Joel chapter 2 It began in acts chapter 2 and is going on till now It's the whole period, you know In the in so the phrase used in Joel 2 right, but in that same passage Joel says The Sun will be darkens The moon will become like blood and in the heavens I will show signs in the heavens above and on the earth beneath Now that is very specific and We see those signs Repeated in the book of Revelation I think it's chapter 6 and chapter 8. Let me go through overview. We'll see That in the judgments that God is pouring out those things are happening So again Joel chapter 2 One part of it started off in the book of Acts Another part of the same prophecy it is going to happen during the seven years of Tribulation when God is going to pour out the judgments that then you'll see the same thing repeated the Sun becomes dark It becomes, you know That the moon is done like blood and there's science in heavens above and earth beneath literally those things will happen So but the same phrase is used last days Same phrase, but it's referring to different points in time so We have to as we read about the end times a lot of latter days Last days and so on in the Old Testament New Testament we have to Carefully try and understand, you know, when will this happen or what is it referring to a particular? Season or is how long is a season? What is it referring to that we have to Understand, you know, so it depends on the passage and so we can't just say okay It's only referring to you know, the last 20 years or last 30 years or something like that. You can't say it's a time period What we want to do today is spend some time in the Gospels Primarily in Matthew chapter 24, so we will go to Matthew chapter 24 Matthew chapter 24 and Luke chapter 21 are parallel passages and it's the same thing as recorded One is recorded by Matthew the Gospel writer. The other one is recorded by Luke the Gospel writer, right? So we're not going to read both passages, but I'm just saying, you know, you can't put both these passages signed by site We'll just read Matthew 24 We'll read Matthew 24 verses 1 to 51. Let me just give an introduction then we'll go to the whole chapter So in Matthew chapter 24 Jesus, you know, he he He gets the attention of his disciples. He asks them how long did this temple take to build? You know, so they say, oh Lord, it took us 40 years, you know He says, you know The time is coming when this temple will be destroyed. Not one stone will be left on it Oh, they're like, oh, you know, what's he saying? This temple is going to be destroyed But they are understanding. Okay. It's He's giving us a sign about the end time. So then they ask a further question. Lord What will be the sign of the end times? You know, what will be the sign of that you're coming you coming to establish a kingdom? So they're asking about that So then Jesus begins to, you know, give them a lot of details. That's the whole of chapter 24 But how can we understand chapter 24? And I'm giving us a little outline so then we read it So in Jesus is talking about the signs of the end times So he's talking about Everything that means From that time from when they were living Jesus with his disciples and then he's coming to the end of the church age Right. So this is when the things will begin to happen Which are indicating of of the end of the church age and the beginning of the seven years of tribulation Okay, then he says a little bit about what happens in the seven years of tribulation and Then what will happen at the end of the seven years of tribulation and then some exhortation that means some instruction or guidance on how to live in view of What is going to happen? So Matthew 24 chapter 24 and like Luke chapter 21 Can be broken into three parts three parts Versus 4 to 14 Matthew 24 4 to 14 Will be the signs just before the beginning of the tribulation Okay, then Matthew 24 15 to 31 I think it is Yeah, 15 to 31 is Tribulation until the end of the tribulation then 32 to 51 is the exhortation Okay, what should you do and how to live in the end times? Okay, if you keep that in mind then it becomes clear to understand Otherwise It because you know, okay, if you put ever just put everything together it because very confusing right and in some Bibles it would be broken down like this like in some Bibles they have the Headings right there. Those are headings are the the translators are put in this. It's not like Jesus put in Translate is put in but they put the headings there for us to understand Right, but in some Bibles if the heading is not there Then you can follow the same thing, right that 4 to 14 is Just before the great tribulation the tribulation 15 to 31 is during and till the end of the great seven years of tribulation then 32 to 51 is the Exertation how to live When you're in the end times Okay, so that is if you understand, so let's read Matthew chapter 24 is a start from verse one we'll read two verses each and We will go through this right so I'm stopping sharing and Let's read those of you in class could read those of you online can also read Two verses each Matthew chapter 24 will start from verse one and go till verse 51, okay Chapter 24 verse one and two then Jesus went out and departed from the temple and his disciples came up to show him the buildings of the temple and Jesus said to them do you not see all these things a shortly? I say to you not one stone shall be left here upon another That shall not be thrown thrown down Verse three as Jesus was sitting on the mount of olives the disciples came to him privately Tell us they said when this will happen and what will be the sign of your coming and the end of the age Jesus answered watch out that no one deceives you Who many will come in my name saying I am the Christ and will deceive many and you will hear of What's and remorse of what see that you are not troubled for all these things must come to pass But the end is not it for nation will rise against nation and Kingdom against Kingdom and there will be Feminis Feminis Pestilences and earthquakes in various places All these are the beginning of sorrows Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you and you will be hated by all nations for my namesakes and Then many will many will be offended Will betray one another and will hate one another Then many false prophets will rise up and Disave many and because and because lawlessness will abound the love of many will grow cold But he who endures to the end shall be saved and this gospel of kingdom will be preached in all the world as A witness to all the nations and then the end will come. Okay, maybe we'll just pause here We'll continue reading but let's make some comments on these first 14 verses So the first thing versus one and two Jesus shocks the disciples, right? He says you see this building see the temple Not one stone will be left on each other message will be fully destroyed So really shocks them. How can he say this now? This is not the first time he's saying it He said it before right side. He's even said to the Pharisees. He said You destroy this temple and I'm three days. I'll raise it up So that you're referring to his own body. They were thinking about that temple Right. So how can he build it because what he has to build this temple? He's saying he'll raise it up in three days but that I was having his own body and Now he is telling them that temple the physical temple, right that is going to be destroyed now That actually took place Within 40 years in AD 70. So this was around 80 30 that Jesus was speaking to his disciples approximately 80 70 the Roman Emperor Roman general Titus He attacked Jerusalem and he destroyed the temple Okay, so the next 40 years this this Matthew 24 1 and 2 was actually fulfilled It was the temple was destroyed and right after that it was Not rebuilt I mean in the sense it was taken I mean subsequently after many Centuries it was taken over by the Arabs So that was the last time hell that was the last time the Jews Really had occupation of it use of it and then the Romans came and destroyed it So it was already fulfilled. Okay, so that prophecy was a near time Prophecy was fulfilled that the disciples, you know, they knew Jesus was talking about things that were going to happen So it was three and four. They said Lord, you know, when they went privately They said, when will these things be what will be the sign of your coming And the of the end of the end of the end of the age. So when will you come and When will be the end of everything? So when are you coming meaning when are you coming in your kingdom? Right now the disciples were thinking more about Venice Jesus going to become king Right, so that was always in the minds of the Jews that the Messiah will be king right God said From the root of David's from this, you know from the stem of Jesse from the root of Jesse David I will raise up the king. Right. So they were expecting him the increase of his government there will be no end and And you know, he would be the right righteous ruler and so on. So they were expecting the Messiah to come as king Right, so it's a when are you coming? You know, when will this happen? And when will be the end of the age? What is the sign of your coming and the end of the age? These are giving them prophecy, but you can imagine in Jesus Understanding meaning it's not happening now. Now he is going to go to the cross Now in his earthly life is going to go and die on the cross. So he is speaking way about things way into time Right, although their their thought is oh, when will Jesus going to come as a king thought when is it going to happen? Maybe we'll be there to watch it happen, you know and Then in verse 4 3 onwards. Yeah verse 4 to 14 Jesus is giving them many signs and One of the the first sign That he begins with which he repeats two times was five again. He repeats in verse 11 and Yeah So he repeats and I think he repeats it again and during in verse 23 later on But one of the sign the first sign he says take heed. No one deceives you For many will come in my name saying I am the Christ and will deceive many So think about the first sign he's saying is There will be big deception and it will be in the name of Christ Many will come in my name and they will say I am the anointed The Christ I am the anointed many will come they will say I am in my name and They will deceive Many so think about this. They're coming in Jesus name You know they're coming like in some other name. They're coming in Jesus name but They are claiming to be the Anointed and they're deceiving people now. How can now you just think about it. How can somebody coming in Jesus name? Be a deceiver. They come in some others some other name. They deceive these are coming in She's the coming in Jesus name. This is a big effort Many will come in my name They'll deceive many now I'm not saying this to put the person down anything but last week There was this this big BBC BBC World News They released They released a three-part Documentary investigative documentary three videos one almost one hour each at this totally three hours Plus they released a podcast nine episode part podcast each episode is about 45 minutes long Where they investigated a Very major Prophet Christian Prophet from Africa right now He passed away he passed away in I don't know which year was this is two years ago, right? So this is 24 so I think he passed away in 22 yeah, two years But at that time He was among, you know, the biggest Ministry of course through tell through YouTube and television so big influence, right and And You know a lot of healings miracles deliverance prophecy happening in the midst. So that is what attracted people. I Watched a few of his videos before Online and If you listen to him preach You watch his ministry everything is just like let gospel ministry like New Testament you can never imagine something is wrong because he's he has the Bible preaching Jesus Everything's being done in the name of Jesus. So if you just look at that ministry, I mean what you see on video It is Okay, this is genuine. This is gospel preaching. This is the Bible But and nobody knows what's happening behind the scenes because all you get to see is the video, right? You see the video you hear the sermon you see the miracles things happen But BBC invests actually started the investigation before he died So there was so that's they feel that this we don't know why he died suddenly he died. He was only 57 But they had started the investigation so next thing is he's dead anyway So They spent two years Investigating and then they just released last week the the whole document full documentary what they found out was shocking So he had a prayer mountain There was a section of the public would go now people from all over the world were coming to his ministry all over the world millions millions of people Huge following So it's not a small minister huge minister so millions of people and so people come to this prayer mountain but He had a separate area in the prayer mountain where he would go and the man who was in charge of the prayer mountain and one or two people who Had gone with him They were reporting that this way actually when he and he would go inside the prayer mountain there He was performing black magic. He was involved in Spiritualism he would take the pictures of various people they would he would go around with you know doing the The spiritualists type of Thing But every nobody the public would not allow to go there. It's only he went there He had his own space there and only the person was running the prayer mountain and a few people who went with him They knew what was actually happening inside Outside here everybody's worshipping Jesus and praying then in that 20 30 years that of his ministry More than 60 women he raped More than 60 he had his own apartment in that they had a big compound. He had his own apartment fifth floor and There were people he had selected to be disciples from all over the world Who had come to be disciple that means they will work very closely with them like maybe a hundred people like that men and women and It was very strange how and some of the people who were affected by him and And he had a clinic inside connected where he would force these ladies to go have abortion So one lady was forced to have five abortions It's all happening in the compound in this big church compound millions of people are coming And he's preaching Jesus Nobody knows what is happening behind Yeah, now some of these people have come out and they've started testifying they said see this is what happened So this one part of it and then a lot of the miracles were Ali actually fit So He had a small group. It was who would be in they had a section called emergency section So only these few people were allowed to work there so all the sick people came there and If they actually had some serious condition, they'll send them back They don't have a problem. They will write something big. I have cancer this that They'll force them to sit on wheelchairs They had their own wheelchairs and they'll say you have to sit on the wheelchair only then the prophet will touch you So they come in, you know, they view so when they touch you have to stand up and walk you to shout and scream make Also, they were trained to do that And now everything is on video people are watching all over the world Nobody knows What has actually happened So like there's not just like this. I mean, I'm just saying a few things but I Listened to all, you know, all the three documentaries the nine episodes last week. It was this nature is so shocking and And this was a two-year investigation. It was not like, you know, they were not listening to two three people and doing and these were people who were from inside his own right-hand man and The lady who was actually editing the videos They was she was in charge of the media minister and she would say we would edit the videos to make it look like the miracle happened Instantly So she was saying this is what I was doing I was told to do and the man was running the his right hand and then the some of the Boys who are working they're in that like he had Of the disciples would working with him in that fifth floor area They reported the man was in charge of the premon can so now they're coming on at that time They were all afraid to Speak because he had so much control Now I was shocked when I heard this because I Had what small parts of it I never I mean I didn't listen to a full sermon or anything at what small parts of because he was so famous I saw what's it and When you see it, it's all in the name of Jesus Bible worship Everything in the name of So I was thinking Why would this man? Do it in the name of Jesus, but in the background all these other things are happening Why because this is the best way to attract people Right and money was flowing Floating they had the one television station. He had his private jet He had bank accounts and overseas It was just out but in front Very simple, you know, it was a different image the to the world So it was very shocking listening to this That is when I was reminded I was reminded of what Jesus said Matthew 24 he said in Matthew 7 also Many will say Lord Lord in your name. We have cast out devils in your name We have prophesied in your name. He said I never knew you go So I that was very good that turn reading that passage very confusing, you know, but in your name They have done these things. You're saying I didn't know you So then I after listening to this as well. This is one clear example where Matthew 7 Matthew 24 is being fulfilled because they're coming in the name of Jesus And Paul wrote second Corinthians 10. He said they will come the messengers of Satan will come Like angels of light Angel of light But it's actually a messenger of Because what he's doing inside totally different That his lifestyle where what he's actually praying to Where his power is coming is this totally different Because he can't be You know, abusing women and then he's coming and preaching on love Yeah, you must love your neighbor But this is the this is So it was really very shocking And the fact the thing is millions of believers including other mighty men of God were deceived They thought he was genuine He had big big crusades in different parts of the world You know, South America very famous South America, Singapore here huge huge crusades and even there they told how he would His some of his people go They will prepare the miracles. They will prepare people for the miracles. They will go catch some poor people Give them nice clothes. Give them wheelchairs. Bring them into the stadium And they'll prepare them when the prophet comes touches you have to get up and walk The people who came genuinely with ailments They would You know, if they're not being prepared by mistake they came When he doesn't get them out, they'll all fall down Because they they're genuinely lame or crippled. They can't get up. But these other people were Set up But we are all people others are watching from far away on youtube or thing. They don't know what is happening But these reports were given by the people who were actually doing it Said we were we were made to do this. This is what we did But at that time He told us we are doing this to build people's faith So we did it We didn't question And now we realize we were actually Hypnotized by him, you know controlled by him So Anyway, that was just thing. I mean if you're interested, you could look it up and bbca So the This is very very shocking, you know, so when jesus said That Many will come in my name. They're coming in the name of jesus Not on some other name in jesus name, but they're deceiving people They're leading them astray and the sad thing is Many of these people Who are affected they were disciples. They were staying there for 10 years 15 years Thinking, you know do serving him Today their faith is gone They're not even believing in jesus Because of what they've seen so this But they had come sincerely to want to serve jesus with the passion and zeal Came here. I mean to that ministry God involved got trapped in this And once you're in the compound, you're not allowed to go outside When you're a disciple So no way of escape, you know, I mean very difficult to escape A lot of a lot of things then So and today the faith is shaken, you know, the So it was very very sad. Anyway so After I heard that and I'm looking at the prophecies of jesus. Wow. This is what jesus said They'll come in my name And they'll deceive many Many means millions of people around the world Have been deceived I don't know now when How it has affected people who have now watched this documentary like how would have affected them because They would have You know, believe this man. Anyway And then he said you will hear of wars was six wars rumors of wars nation against nation kingdom against kingdom and Of course, this war and rumors of wars have always been there You know, there's something happening all the time but What we can expect before the great tribulation is This will become increasingly more and more It'll be more than before Yeah, it was always that the world war one happened world war two happened different countries were fighting here and there But this is wars wars nation against nation will be more Right. So as we are seeing more and more fighting happening Russia, Ukraine and Israel and Palestine and and then other small small wars happening here and there people are fighting And you're seeing more more more. Okay It's coming. We're getting close It's more than just before Then you're seeing famines pestilences earthquakes that means um Things happening in the environment things happening in in In weather other other conditions famines pestilences earthquakes Then we are seeing what's nine. There's a lot of persecution People are being hated You'll be hated for my names sick And this is also happening Even in christian nations So at one point Europe North America We would we would say Oh much of the western world. We would say, oh These are christian nations to be a christian was a good thing But today it is opposite In these same places if you're a christian people attack In these same Europe North America it's different It's not like oh you're a christian come come The whole thing is reversed. It's changed You know What has caused the same a lot of factors that a lot of things have contributed and part of it the church is also to blame because You know so many leaders have done all kinds of things and so it is brought a bad name but The fact isn't almost everywhere there is Hatred towards those who follow jesus christ They say you you'll be hated by all nations for my names sake Many will be offended they'll hate one another Verse 11 once again jesus is saying many false prophets will rise and deceive Many once again. He's repeating that False prophets will rise many will rise many many So you have to be very very careful and lawlessness will abound and Love of many will grow cold. There's lawlessness meaning sinfulness I'll just increase And then last one is hey, but in the middle of all this the gospel will be preached to all the Nation while all this is happening gospel is Increasing the gospel is being preached to all the nations So these are all the signs he gave Leading or just just before the tribulation So this is what you should look at And then increase A heightened increase of these signs and it's happening more and more and more more. Okay. We're getting closer Then from verse 15 onwards we get into the tribulation Okay, we will read that we have we shall have 10 more minutes. So let's read Verse 15 to verse 31 two verses each please Oh any questions? Yes What have you done like till now like people coming in the name of the lord deceiving people earthquakes war and all this we saw like it is before tribulation and in verse 13 it says But he who endures shall be saved like what actually like endures means you're like Yeah, so that means we shouldn't give up on our faith So example if you think about right now, okay, we're not in the tribulation But all these things are happening So for example, just what I shared from last week We don't know How people's faith has been shaken Because of you know, what has come out now You can imagine How many people from around the world, you know, they went to this place Believe believing this prophet how much money they have given All that and now suddenly this news is coming out like this is what he was actually doing Their faith will be shaken. How could this be? So you have to make a choice Are you going to believe Jesus? Are you still going to Go back to the Bible and say the Bible is true this man Or this this particular ministry or when they messed up, but the Bible is true And Jesus in fact foretold that many will come in my name You know and deceive any so Will you endure to the end? Or are you going to give up? Supersecution Will be hated Are you going to still believe? Are you going to give up? So he who endures to the end will be Say that means you can't give up on your faith In the middle of all these things that are happening So imagine Christians believers who are caught in the middle of war You know, what is happening nation is fighting against nation And so we can imagine, you know Maybe their believers in Ukraine believers in Russia they caught in between Believers in Israel believers even among the Palestinians And they caught in between all this fighting. It's not their fault Nations fighting against each other What are you going to do? Will you still keep your faith in Jesus? You know He who endures to the end will be So you don't give up That's the point You know the questions just the first 14 verses any questions online Okay, let's pick up from verse 15 to verses each please A verse 15 Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation Spoken by Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains Let him who is on the house top not go down to take anything out of his house And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes But wait to those who are Pregnant and to those who are nursing babies In those days and pray that your fight may not be In winter or on the Sabbath Or then there will be great tribulation Such as has not been since the beginning of the world until will be shortened That is anyone says to you look here is the Christ Or there do not believe it Can you read verse 21 again from Michael verse 21 22 For then there will be great tribulation such as has not been since the beginning of the world Until this time No or ever shall be and unless those days were shortened No flesh could be shaped But for the elect's sake those days will be shortened Verse 23 Then if you if anyone say to you Look here is the Christ or there do not believe it For false Christ and false prophet will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive If possible even the elect See I have told you beforehand Therefore if they say to you look he is in the desert Do not go out or look he is in the inner rooms. Do not believe it Verse 27 for as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west So also will be the coming of the son of man be For wherever the Car case is there the eagles will be gathered together Hmm Immediately after the tribulation of those days The sun will be darkened and the moon will be not Give its light light The stars will fall from heaven and the powers of the heavens will be second Then the sign of the son of man will appear in heaven And then all the tribes of the earth will mourn and they will see the son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory Verse 31 and he will send his angels with a great sound of trumpet And they will gather together his elect From the four winds from one end to heaven on one end of heaven to the other Thank you so The passage verses 15 to 31 just to highlight a few things here um Verse 15 When you see this abomination of desolation, so it's giving us a point in time When this You know we call this the refutemists the antichrist when you see this What will that be verse 21? Then there will be great tribulation so This is now he's speaking about the great tribulation And part of what's happening in the great tribulation one of the signs like okay, you're going to see This abomination of desolation spoken of by daniel prophet prophet daniel right when you see Then there will be this great tribulation The other point in reference of point in time is verse 29 immediately after the tribulation Then the son of man will appear Okay, so he's very clearly telling us the sequence of events, right? Uh, there is this great tribulation that is happening After this the son of man will appear that is the lord jesus coming The the the what is it we call it the second coming but before the Abomination before this antichrist comes is when we have the secret coming the church being taken out of the way Okay, he hasn't mentioned that here okay that we understand so the writings of the apostle paul and so on He's given us the signs before the tribulation Then he's talking about the tribulation verses 15 on and then he's talking about the coming of the son of man at the end of the tribulation If with me so signs before the tribulation The tribulation And end of the tribulation that is what he has given us Okay So in during the tribulation verse 15 What he's saying he says you will see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet daniel now Abomination of desolation simply it's a phrase That is used in daniel chapter nine Referring to the antichrist he is an abomination And he is the man who makes desolation He's an abomination to god because he speaks He speaks blasphemies against god abomination Desolation means he is very destructive very you know Now jesus is not going into all the details on how this On how this man comes to power and all basically daniel says right He will sign a seven-year peace treaty a peace covenant He'll make a covenant of peace when we study daniel will see it And then in the middle of it he breaks the covenants and that's when he becomes this He shows his true colors of being an abomination And so first three years he's very nice and peaceful and all that doing good things he comes Or like i'm like the christ you know almost like a copy of jesus and coming to be a man of peace and all that But in the middle of the tribulation he shows he changes He becomes this man who's speaking against god and all that What will he do it says verse 15 he will stand in the holy place What does he referring to daniel had said this man will go into the temple of god And he will set himself up to be worshipped So that is what jesus is saying he will stand in the holy place Okay, so this also brings us to one more one more thought we are meant to say this and then we go for a break It means there has to be a holy place There has to be a temple right now there is no temple because The temple mount is being occupied by the Arabs muslims Okay, we will study this later. I'll show you So where Solomon had built the temple it was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar It was rebuilt by Ezra Nehemiah. They rebuilt it the walls and city then it was it was extended by So that was that's called the second temple Then it was during king herod's time He made it bigger He built what is known as the temple mount big area During king herod's time. So he extended the temple. So it was rebuilt by Nehemiah Ezra Nehemiah Then herod came he extended it the second temple Then it was broken by the Romans 70 AD So now then the Arabs On that temple mount they built a mosque And they built their dome of the rock so two two big Muslim structures are standing on the temple Right now right now So right now there is no Jewish temple On on that same place So for this to be fulfilled Saying this this antichrist has to be standing in the holy place right now. It's not there So one of the big things that has to happen is A third temple Has to be built On that same place So this is the big challenge How is it going to happen? But if you go online you can see The Jews are ready to rebuild the temple Everything they need They've got ready At some point we don't know when They're going to take over and they are going to rebuild the temple Because this prophecy has to be fulfilled He's standing in the holy place now. No holy place. There's no holy place So this third temple being rebuilt Is a big I would say big event that has to happen For the final things in the bible to be fulfilled Okay, we'll take a break. We'll come back and we look into these things later. All right
