 inflation remains near a record high and it shows no signs of slowing the consumer price index for September is a 8.2% compared to what we were doing a year ago has made landfall as the category 4 brings up 155 miles per hour heightened tensions between the west and russia russian nuclear capable warplanes with otto toward the city which are the main defense teams they allow for that according to the russian government if you don't have your wallet there's no problem just scan your palm to pay amazon 1 is a payment system that has been tested at several tracers, all of us have been tested at several you're going to bookmark matthew chapter 24 you're going to be coming back to matthew chapter 24 at the beginning and the end of the sermon so just keep your place there so matthew chapter 24 is kind of our basis is kind of our timeline for this sermon series looking at clues and milestones hopefully now after this will be the third sermon in this series we talked about globalism the one world government you know where that idea comes from we looked at the abomination of desolation the antichrist the antichrist you know there's been many antichrists throughout history but we looked at the antichrist of the end times or what we learned last week was daniel 70th week so we're all experts on daniel 70th week which is this which is the seven year period of the end times and the question is when will this be when will this start when is this seven years coming so what we're looking at is what the bible says the clues that jesus gives us the clues that the bible gives us in all different parts of the bible and looking at what would be necessary for those things to come to pass that's kind of the methodology of this sermon series tonight look down at matthew chapter 24 and look at verse number 33 tonight we're going to look at some clues which jesus says in matthew 2433 he says so likewise ye when ye see all these things know that it is near even at the door so he's saying this kind of at the end of all the detail that he gives us about you know basically leading up to the rapture when jesus comes back and gets his saints out of the great tribulation but he says you know in verse number 33 he says I'm telling you all these things so you'll know when it's near is what he's saying he's like so you'll have an idea and then the last part of the chapter from verse 33 on is basically jesus kind of exhorting us saying you all should not be like everybody else he's saying everybody else is going to be just you know going about their business thinking that everything's fine thinking that what they're doing is right and then this is going to happen and he even compares it to Noah and the flood he says even you know when I flooded the whole world he's like everybody was just having a big party and just doing what they always did and being wicked and being violent and all of a sudden you know the flood just came upon them he's going to be exactly like that here you'll notice in matthew 24 when it talks about Jesus coming back it says that the tribes of the earth they mourned they mourned why because they're eating and drinking and thinking nothing's going on they got their own ideas about stuff they're not paying attention to these clues milestones that we're going to know about because we have the word of God we have the Bible and they're going to see Jesus coming back everyone's going to see him there's not going to be this like all of a sudden there's a pile of clothes somewhere you know I saw a bumper sticker today that says driver may disappear at any moment or something like this you know from the left behind books but that's not how it's going to happen everybody's going to see Jesus and every tribe meaning every nation on the earth is going to they're going to be like why are they mourning they're going to be like oops the Christians were right it's like the people knocking on my door were correct so they're going to be afraid they're going to mourn okay so look at verse number seven now what are we talking about this evening we're going to talk about some clues some very specific clues tonight look at verse number seven of Matthew chapter 24 the title of the sermon tonight is the clues the title of the sermon is the signs in the earth the signs in the earth look at verse seven the Bible says for nations shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places diverse meaning all over the place they'll be in you know not just in one local place turn to Acts chapter 2 and verse number 19 Acts chapter 2 and verse number 19 we're going to Acts chapter 2 verse 19 so we're looking at signs in the earth tonight in Acts chapter 2 and verse 19 we see a prophetic verse here on the day of Pentecost but it's also a prophecy of the end times of the coming of Jesus the Bible says in verse 19 it says I will show wonders in heaven above and signs in the earth beneath blood and fire and vapors of smoke then shall the sun be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before that great and notable day of the Lord come you know a reference again to the rapture Jesus coming back that day of the Lord okay so the first thing I want to look at tonight turn to Luke chapter 21 you're going to keep your place in Matthew chapter 24 we'll come back there but let's just look at some more details so Luke chapter 21 is a parallel passage to Matthew chapter 24 one of the great things about the gospels is you will find these parallel passages where you get a little bit more detail in one that you did in the other or maybe a different perspective in one that you did in the other there's no contradictions but they just kind of give us a different angle on things a little bit more detail on things look at Luke chapter 21 look at verse number 11 there's something I want to point out here we get a little bit more detail about a specific sign in the earth look at verse 11 of Luke chapter 21 the Bible says and great earthquakes shall be in diverse places so that matches Matthew chapter 24 and verse number 7 where we see these earthquakes happening in diverse places but we get another detail on the earthquakes so not only are these earthquakes going to be happening in diverse places but they're also going to be great earthquakes so we get two things basically we get magnitude of the earthquakes and we get where they're going to be in Luke chapter 21 and Matthew chapter 24 now here's the thing about earthquakes so just talk about earthquakes in the Bible and how God uses earthquakes in the Bible turn to Matthew chapter 27 and it fits because look you have to when you read the Bible we want to understand I mean this is what God wants us to know about himself the Bible is there is much more to God I am sure than just the Bible but the Bible is what God has given us to know about himself and there's definite patterns that you can see how God deals with us how God shows us things how God tells us things look at Matthew chapter 27 and verse number 50 look great earthquakes fits God's patterns of marking large events for us with these great earthquakes look at Matthew 27 and verse number 50 this is the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in verse number 50 the Bible says Jesus when he had cried again with a loud voice yielded up the ghost and behold the veil of the temple in verse 51 was rent entwined from the top to the bottom and the earth did quake and the rocks rent meaning the earthquake to the point where rocks were torn apart rent means torn you know broken right when a garment is rented it is torn look at verse 2 of Matthew chapter 28 just one page over probably in your Bible and there's another earthquake that was used here and look it's not a insignificant earthquake is what I'm trying to get you to understand look at verse 2 at the resurrection of Christ it is marked by not just any earthquake look at verse number 2 it says behold there was a great earthquake for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone from the door and sat upon it so look here's the thing the earthquake didn't roll the stone away the earthquake was just there to mark some great event that happened and it wasn't I shouldn't say some great event it was a great event but a great earthquake was used to mark the resurrection of Jesus Christ himself look at Acts chapter 16 if you remember from Wednesday night Acts chapter 16 you know God used an earthquake to get the attention of this jailer number 26 of Acts chapter 16 and suddenly there was a what there was a great earthquake again so that the foundations of the prison were shaken and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's bands were loosed so obviously the earthquake didn't undo everyone's handcuffs the earthquake was there to get the attention of the people that hey this is a miraculous situation that is happening alright I mean of course this is where we get that great question in the Bible that is so valuable for doctrine in itself it's just you know where that jailer at that point just says what must I do to be saved just this simple question in the Bible and then that gives Paul and Silas the opportunity to just say hey believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and now shall it be saved and thy house they go preach the gospel to his family and his household and it's just a great story in the Bible but it's all marked by what by a great earthquake alright so we get this magnitude in Matthew chapter 24 that there's going to be in Matthew chapter 20 or Luke chapter 21 talking about these earthquakes these great earthquakes that will be in diverse places many different places alright so the point I'm trying to make here at the beginning is that earthquakes in general earthquakes are used by God throughout the Bible to mark big events to mark big things turn back to Luke chapter 21 so that's earthquakes I mean if God was going to mark the beginning of Daniel 70th week or the coming of Daniel 70th week entering into Daniel 70th week if he was going to mark that with a great earthquake kind of fits his modus operandi that he's been using in the past you know he marks things with earthquakes he's done that in the past look at verse 25 of Luke chapter 21 now there's something else more signs in the earth here and there should be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars and upon the earth the stress of nations we'll get to that towards the end of the sermon with perplexity and then look at this the sea in the waves roaring now let me ask you this question what could possibly so we see another we see another sign in the earth here of the sea in the waves roaring so what makes the sea in the waves roar I mean we're talking about large storms here is what the Bible is literally calling out it we're talking about hurricanes we're talking about typhoons we're talking about things that just kick up the seas and just make these large waves so look this is what Jesus is saying are going to be signs in the earth we're looking at tonight we're looking at earthquakes and we're going to look at storms and you know signs in the world I mean there's other two things that are called out like famines and drought really you know famines and pestilences we're not going to look at pestilences tonight we're not going to look too deep into famines because we already kind of looked at what causes famines in the first sermon you know one of the main things there's really two things that cause famines and one is drought which that's a sign in the earth and that's a sign that God also uses that he's not happy with things that are going on usually when God sends a drought or stops the rain we talked about that a couple weeks ago as well but you know another thing that causes famine and one of the reasons we're not going to get into the detail of it because I've already talked about it in the very first sermon one of the main things in the world that causes famine is war so if there's a massive war and I've talked about the estimates you know that if there was another world war three if that was caused they've done estimates that billions of people would die and guess what the billions of people that died it would not be from the blasts of bombs it would be the vast majority of people would die from famine so God is calling that out as well but I want to look at this idea of these clues mainly tonight of earthquakes and storms that Jesus is specifically calling out in Luke chapter 21 and Matthew chapter 24 so you say there's earthquakes all the time how in the world could we possibly you know are you going to try to like you know tell us that the end times is going to be tomorrow because there's earthquakes there's earthquakes all the time I mean I finally experienced my first California earthquake you know like last year I mean I was in a building and literally the wall I could see the ceiling shaking and it was like two seconds long and I was like that's it it was kind of disappointing to be honest I mean I've been raised my whole life to believe like California is going to fall in the ocean and Nevada is going to have beachside property that state's going to fall right in the ocean that's what people you know where I'm from would talk about California and then I was finally in this earthquake and it was like you could barely see things moving and I called my wife I'm like were we just in an earthquake and sure enough it came over the radio and I was like hey I was like I'll take that over winter any day you know no problem I can do that right but here's the thing so here's the thing and here's the reason that I pointed out the words that Jesus used when he said great earthquakes let me just give you some trends here let me give you some trends on earthquakes alright there's a little thing called the Richter scale who's heard of the Richter scale I'm sure everybody in California knows exactly what the Richter scale is but it's basically it's a way for the USGS or everybody around the world to measure the magnitude of earthquakes and there's something super interesting that I found here but let me just give you some trends and some ideas on how many actual earthquakes there are from year to year okay now the Richter scale goes from what I could see on the Richter scale it's basically it goes from one all the way to nine and greater alright but I'll tell you why nine and greater doesn't really matter all that much but if you look at they're categorized by number and then each range has an actual name that the Richter scale assigns to them let me give you some examples an earthquake from one to one point nine on the Richter scale is called is categorized as a micro quake on the Richter scale okay there are how many per year are there in the world there are several million per year in the world of these types of earthquakes alright and we keep going down the scale or up the scale I guess you could call it from 2.0 to about 3.9 they're categorized as minor so we go from micro to minor and those numbers go they range between one million earthquakes of that magnitude per year to about 100,000 if you go all the way up to 3.9 okay so look that's a lot of earthquakes you know and if you look at you know the earthquakes that we experience like the one that we experienced in Fresno I think or the one I experienced in Fresno maybe there's more that have happened but it was I don't know it was 200 miles away the epicenter and it was I think it was a 3 point something so I felt one of these million these million what they call minor I mean this is this is the Richter scales wording micro minor okay now if we get up to some bigger numbers let's go to four let's go to four and all the way to 5.9 5.9 if we look at a 5.9 what do we categorize it the actual wording is called moderate okay it goes 4.0 is light and then 5.0 to 5.9 would be moderate and just to give you a description of what that type it would be can cause damage of varying severity to poorly constructed buildings zero to slight damage to other buildings felt by everyone so everyone should feel this in the area but it probably won't damage too many things earthquakes are there per year in the world about 1500 of the 5 to 5.9 so those are light and moderate then it gets up to 6 to 6.9 is considered strong like I said the Richter scales wording not mine 7 to 7.9 is considered major okay this is considered a major earthquake now if we look at a 7 to 7.9 just to give you some context here the same San Francisco earthquake and I remember seeing this on the news many of you lived here I'm sure but that earthquake was a 6.9 so that was what people would consider I mean it's categorized as strong that's the Richter scale category it's a strong earthquake there's 100 to 150 per year in the world of that size okay but that would happen to hit a highly densely populated area and I believe 60 some people were killed billions of dollars in damage you know so look that's not something that we would consider insignificant as people on planet earth right so if we go above that 7.0 to 7.9 that is categorized as major that's the Richter scale word alright there's 10 to 20 of those per year I hope you see where I'm going with this because as we can look at this minor earthquakes and we can say there's millions of minor earthquakes every single year that's not what the Bible is pointing us at here the Bible is pointing us at what the Bible calls great earthquakes the King James Bible is another great reason that we should be King James but the King James Bible calls them great that's the word it uses again and again and again Revelation chapter 11 when it talks about you know the wrath of God towards the end of the wrath of God it will be marked by a great earthquake the same event in Revelation chapter 16 it's the sixth vile being opened by the sixth angel it's a great earthquake that marks that event great great earthquake alright now on the Richter scale 8 to 8.9 and 9.0 and greater are in this category and guess what word is used to mark that category great that's an interesting coincidence I don't know if the person that you know invented the Richter scale in 1930 or whenever that was you know it was a King James Bible reader or whatever it was but the point is is that guess how many of those per year there are in the world over 8.0 one on average so I think if I read the Bible and I see that the Bible is saying look God marks things by great earthquakes and God is saying that when Daniel 70th week is approaching and when we're in Daniel 70th week is like there's going to be great earthquakes meaning they're not and then I can go and I can look at the events in the Bible where these earthquakes are tearing rocks meaning they're tearing mountains they're tearing things they're causing major damage they're breaking foundations of prisons all these things and I can say look you know I mean I think if it goes from 1 per year to 1 per year for a few years maybe we should pay attention to that that's all I'm trying to say it's a clue it's a clue we don't want to have an earthquake over 8.5 and be like the end times is near but the point is is that we should pay attention to what the Bible is saying this is a great clue for us there's not millions of great earthquakes every year in the world there's on average one in the whole world alright so look interesting correlation right there so that is something we can definitely watch for alright this is why it's a clue not a milestone alright we don't see an 8.5 earthquake and say the antichrist is on the earth right now where's he at but we notice these things and we watch these things that's why Jesus says in Matthew chapter 24 verse 33 and through the rest of the chapter he's like hey you all are going to understand what's happening you all should know what's going on because I'm telling you these details alright so look earthquakes to me made it to the untrained eye when I was like oh there's millions of earthquakes I feel an earthquake every six months or whatever look to the to the trained eye a great earthquake is not that common and I think it's something that I think it's a great clue I think it's a great clue of the end times and what the Bible calls in Matthew chapter 24 verse number 8 the beginning of sorrows something that we should definitely pay attention to how about this one storms drought what about this what about this now I did go and I tried to find some I couldn't find a consensus on whether or not earthquakes are increasing or not there's a lot of noise in that conversation out there I'll tell you why there's noise in that conversation towards the end of the sermon but there's a lot of scientific data out there and I'm not saying I believe this scientific data but I'm paying attention to it that storms and drought are increasing and you will find and you're all understanding where this is probably going already but there's a lot of people out there right now in the scientific community saying storms are getting stronger you know droughts are getting worse and all these different types of things now I don't know if I completely believe that but it's definitely something that I'm paying attention to let me just give you a couple quotes from NASA which don't get me started on NASA it's like how inefficient can we be I'm just kidding alright that's a personal opinion of mine anyway NASA says this we do see more and more hurricanes in the Atlantic every season getting to category 3 category 4 or category 5 compared to seasons 40 years ago so NASA is saying that according to the last 4 decades they do see an increase it's really hard to get good data on this by the way because we're talking about thousands of years of history and we've really just started being able to track these things in like the last 50 years so it's not that great of a data set but NASA says we're seeing more that are severe alright time says this from the PNAS study from 2020 found that as of 2017 about 38% of the planet's tropical cyclone activity reached major intensity that is a category 3, 4, or 5 very similar to what NASA said for North Atlantic hurricanes specifically the rate was similar at 42% but those rates have been ticking up over time particularly in the North Atlantic as it's 24% they kind of boil it down to this 4% more probable today that a cyclone on planet Earth will be at a major intensity compared with 4 decades ago it sounds you know like they're maybe pulling from the same data set and kind of the same narrative but in the North Atlantic and in the North Atlantic it's 260% more probable what they're saying is that same amount of storms but they're getting more magnitude they're getting to category 3, category 4, category 5 more easily alright so you're thinking you're thinking people will definitely notice this right people will definitely notice that I mean this is how I used to think when I would study the Bible and I would start reading the Bible and I was really I used to be until like you know a lot of Bible archeology and all these things like oh if we could find Noah's Ark or if we could find the Ark of the Covenant then everyone will believe that the Bible is true wrong why because like this is actually I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say that NASA is right time is right all these studies are right I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say they're correct and these storms are getting more powerful and are getting more severe over time but how will people not notice what the Bible says number one because nobody knows what the Bible says I mean how many times have I said over the last year there's never been a time in the United States it's probably worse in the world where people know less about the Bible people have no idea I mean look the stuff we're studying tonight this is not Christianity 101 stuff you know this is this is some complicated prophecy some complicated things these timelines and what Jesus is saying here so you say how will people not notice but look just like with the antichrist that I brought up last week just like how will people not notice that there's this guy that sets himself up in the temple of God and says that he is God makes some sort of image that he sets up some sort of idol that he forces people to worship how will people not throw a red flag on that because at that point we're going to be into this I mean every religion every major religion is going to think he's their Messiah there's going to be this attitude of you know all this divisive doctrine needs to stop we all need to be it's all we all worship the same God I mean this is the type of stuff that is going to lead to that being accepted and just as that we can see how that's going to play out today this religion of man made climate change is going to explain away all of this for people we can already see it happening they are already claiming this clue they are already claiming this clue there isn't a hurricane that happens when you don't see you know people standing up and we're ruining the earth and we did this to ourselves and we have to stop doing all this things but let me tell you something folks it is fascinating to watch this play out it really is I mean it's unfolding before our very eyes I mean I don't know how far we're into it or how far along it's going to take but we can already start to see things that we wouldn't have seen 20 years ago we wouldn't have seen 20 years ago how people were going to you know be able to explain away some of these clues that we're seeing today but here's what's even more interesting here's what's even more interesting it's all tied together with the previous two sermons that I preach because this clue it builds on those first two sermons it builds on globalism and it builds on the idea of the antichrist or this one world leader that's going to come and bring this global you know government and global system together because look these clues these clues the storms and the drought and the they'll be politicized they will be politicized to bring in globalism because they're going to be politicized as global issues this is a world problem this is a world problem folks we need to take this seriously it'll be used to destroy nationalism think about the countries just think about in your mind I won't even mention them I'm going to use one as an example but just think about the countries right now that everybody vilifies I mean yeah maybe they do bad things and all this but look there's a reason that this happens because nationalism must go away to fix this problem of these clues these signs in the earth that we're talking about today let me give you one example let me give you just one simple example of how this religion first of all how this religion is false this religion of man-made climate change how false it really is and how it will be used to destroy nationalism let me just give you one example I'm going to use the example of China look I'm not for against China I'm sure they're I'm kind of against them they're bad they do a lot of bad things but look at this China I mean talking about just man-made climate change that's what everybody's worried about in the United States and all over the world and Europe and everywhere just we're putting too much carbon dioxide into the world and creating these storms worse and making the earth worse but look at this China these are actual facts right here okay China burns more coal than the rest of the world combined and has accelerated mining and construction of coal-fired power plants driving up the country's emissions of energy related greenhouse gases in the fastest pace in a decade so what are they doing they're ramping up how much coal they burn in China okay you say you say what wait there's more it's way worse than this okay this is just fact China is also the dominant manufacturer of wind turbines and solar panels that they sell to us you say do we sell anything to China yeah we do we do sell something to China and I'll get to that in a second but they sell this stuff to us but they provide cheap energy to their people through burning coal they're literally 33 gigawatts of coal-fired generation that have started construction just last year in China 33 gigawatts just think about that as 33 of the largest plants that we have in the United States each one of those plants burns about a thousand tons of coal every hour a thousand tons every hour that's 66 million pounds in one hour that's what they just started building last year how much is under construction now China is going to go under construction this year who knows China is currently building over half of the world's new coal-based power plants 33 gigawatts started last year that is the most new coal-fired power capacity China has undertaken since 2016 which means they are ramping up the way they are three times more than get this the rest of the world combined in the meantime China still consumes nearly five times as much coal as India nearly six times as much coal as the United States and is building a huge number of new plants according to 2021 yearbook anyway let me just read the last article or the last paragraph China is hardly alone in turning to coal to meet growing energy needs India gets roughly 70% of its electricity from coal just China and India have half the world's population just so you know we've got about 7. some billion people on the planet about 3 billion of those people live in China or India you know I think we forget that sometimes as Americans there's 330 million people here there's you know there's 3 billion people in those two countries India gets 70% of its electricity from coal the Modi government recently ordered the reopening of more than 100 closed mines to meet rapidly growing demand and even greater by the country's crushing heat wave so India and China 3 billion people nearly half the world and they're just ramping up how much energy they generate from coal and how much and here's a thing here's a thing they send all these solar panels and all these wind turbines to us and we buy all these things but we sell China something you know we sell them we sell them our coal you're like what that's true China doesn't have that much coal they get their coal from I think most of it's from Indonesia the next is Russia and the next we've been selling them we've been shutting our plants down on the east coast and selling all that coal to China for years so for the people that are in the religion of man-made climate change we could stop burning everything in the United States tomorrow and it would make zero difference zero that's not an opinion that's just what's happening so if you believe that false religion and start digging that bunker is all I can say because but here's the thing go back to Matthew chapter 24 and verse number 7 you say why do you bring this up here's why I bring it up go back to Matthew chapter 24 and verse number 7 Matthew chapter 24 and verse number 7 this is why say look say what you want about China but they are acting in their own interest as a nation this is why at some point that has to go oh that's not my opinion that the Bible is telling us that this is what's going to happen the Bible is telling us that you know this world leaders going to come in he's going to make this covenant with many in Daniel chapter 9 remember the path here he's going to make this covenant with many in Daniel chapter 9 and through the process of Revelation chapter 6 that war where billions of people die he's going to turn that covenant of many into a global alliance and people like you know countries that are acting in their own self-interest are the ones that will have to get with the program from Daniel chapter 9 to Revelation chapter 13 where you end up with that global alliance go back to Matthew chapter 24 and look again at verse number 7 now I hope this makes more sense for you it says there will be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places but what does it say has to happen in the first part of the verse nation must rise against nation you see that all this nation stuff needs to go and all of the signs in the earth are going to be one of the things that is used to get rid of the national self-interest you can see it happening if you're just reading the Bible and watching what's going on so look and look the people taking these clues and saying you know using them as this religion of climate change they're just they're what Lennon would have called the useful idiots you see the people the wickedness in high places the principalities and the powers at the antichrist level they're going to use those people to just gain control you can see that happening too what is this religion being used to it's being used to gain control of people no you can no longer do this you can no longer buy that you can no longer buy a car in 2030 or whatever it is you can no longer buy a lawnmower it's used these are small examples of the same methodology but these wicked principalities and powers that are going to be at the level of trying to create this global alliance are going to use these false religions and I'm not saying that this global warming thing is the only one that's going to be used it's going to use people like that as the useful idiots to put in place the control structure that they need to have their arms around this whole thing that's how this is going to go I don't know when it's going to go I don't know you know the timeline as far as when this we can see the mechanics of it that's the beauty of this we can now see the mechanics of it where I can say that 20 years ago I couldn't see the mechanics of this the same as I can see them today just because of the things that we're watching happening so the signs of the earth and look earthquakes is one thing you know they're going to claim earthquakes too they'll blame earthquakes they're already doing this they'll blame earthquakes these great earthquakes will start happening and they'll blame it on somebody drilling for something they'll blame it on somebody fracking a well they'll blame it on somebody pumping water out of the ground too fast and they will use it for what control control resources control of assets ultimately control of the people in the world which is what you know if you want to have a global alliance with everybody on board you know what you need you need control you need control so look all this is aimed on human activity of some kind and it'll be used to you know push for global control the control needed by the antichrist when we see him come on the scene alright so look there's a lot of things that still need to happen there's a lot of things that still need to happen we looked at last week there's no temple there's no daily sacrifice you know there's none of these things that have happened but it's just fascinating how we can see all of these words that were spoken by Jesus Christ 2,000 years ago kind of coming into play kind of fitting together we can see at least we can see how this puzzle how these puzzle pieces are gonna fit together to a degree right which we couldn't say that that would happen you know we couldn't see that you know even just a couple decades ago so look what do we know so far Daniel 70th week we need a world leader we need a world leader to pop up we need him to be this guy that's trying to bring this piece of cord in Daniel chapter 9 we need him to do this we need that covenant with many we need that to be transferred into revelation chapter 13 through war and all these other methods of control to that global alliance of revelation 13 then we're gonna see the you know then we need a temple then we need that daily sacrifice then we're gonna see that abomination of desolation but these signs in the earth we can see hopefully you see now how they fit together nation against nation is in that same verse as we see in Matthew chapter 24 talking about these signs in the earth so look it's kind of cool to see these things and it's kind of neat you know that Jesus said you know be ready and be you know watching I don't think it's 10 years from now I don't think it's 20 years from now I don't know when it is but if we can see it coming now I am sure we'll be able to see it even better in 10 years a glass darkly that we look through and it just as time goes on it just gets clear and clear and clear so it just we just need to use this to motivate us to you know study the Bible tell people about the Bible and just you know I pray all the time that God you know gives us you know I don't pray that God doesn't come tomorrow because I know Jesus isn't coming tomorrow but I do pray that God gives this country more time God you know is more patient I don't know how he could possibly be more patient than he is already but you know we I just want more time to get the gospel to more people and that should be our motivation on this earth but these are some great clues these signs in the earth and I do believe that they're very valuable clues and we will notice them happening as we already see this going on now let's bow our heads and have a word of prayer
