 Good afternoon, good evening, good morning. I wanted to kind of switch it up. Why? Because I know what you guys are waiting on. I know what you guys are waiting on. You were waiting for the red intro, but you know if you guys have been behaving yourself to where you deserve the red intro. That intro is a treat. So anyway, hope you guys are doing well. Guess what happened? And I made a mistake by not letting you guys know and I should have done so. That was on yesterday. I was on Daryl Kings and as well as Montana Vikings channel. And we were talking about the end times. Actually, honestly, there were probably, I don't know, 10, 11, 12 different topics and there were that many of us on the panel. And so we couldn't get it all done in an hour and a half. And so the thing with me though, I had all these notes and all these scriptures. When I say a bunch, I had a bunch of scriptures, a bunch of notes, dug on it. I got all these notes, somebody is getting ready to get these notes. Somebody is getting ready to hear this. And so one of the things that I brought up, by the way, how are you all doing? Hope you're all doing well. Thank you, by the way, Washington 83. I appreciate the super chat. Thank you so much. What I said yesterday, and by the way, how are the rest of you? Hope you all are doing well. I should just say hello everybody and just meet and greet for a minute, I should. But I can't because we got a lot to do. So I'll keep one of my eyes on this channel, I mean on the chat. And I'll keep an eye on that camera right there. And I'll keep an eye on this screen over here with the text. And I'll keep an eye out over here with the main screen and then what's happening with the signal street. And I'll keep an eye on what's happening, what's seeing what you guys see as well. And I'll keep an eye on this one to make sure I don't get any contacts from you guys, say, hey, slow it down or speed it up or what have you. So I don't have enough eyes to cover it, but I'll do my very best. Y'all pray that the Lord guides us. But what I want to do is, one of the things that came up and I wanted to bring out was, hi, Wanda, how are you sweetheart? One of the things that, by the way, I hope you ladies don't get mad. Listen, I'm kind of old school in that regard. I might say sweetheart, sweetie, and what have you. That's kind of how my father and his crew used to do. Now they would also say, of course they would call everybody baby. Anybody from that era where the older, the old school guys, they would call everybody baby, even the men, the young guys, hey baby, come and talk to me for a sec. Right? So I hope I don't offend you, but it's just out of love. That's all. But one of the things that I brought up and I think sometimes we forget it. Now remember, the way I, and I'm hoping that you guys can see kind of how I work through the Bible. One of the guys made a point yesterday, and I agree wholeheartedly, and that is this issue with a division between the Old Testament and New Testament because God just has a complete thought that's going forward. But for the sake of us, we kind of divide things that way, which is fine, which is fine. But God doesn't have a broken thought, it's a complete thought. And so he starts letting us know what's happening along the way. Well, when we look at this issue of the end times, I wanna look at what Jesus said, because that's one of the main points. Now, I think that we need to look at why certain things are gonna happen. As it relates to the end times, as it relates to his coming back and so forth, whether we believe pre-trip, post-trip, mid-trip, whether we are pre-millennial, are-millennial, post-millennial, what have you. Thank you, Daryl, by the way. And matter of fact, do me a favor, Daryl, if you can remind me, I need to go ahead and post a link in the description to that. I forgot all about it. I was moving so much yesterday that I just didn't do it. I just did not do it. And so I'm trying to catch up. There's a lot of things that are happening. And so one day, one of these days, I'm gonna catch up. One of these days, I'm gonna get myself caught up. And I thought I would be by now, but I'm not. As a matter of fact, tomorrow's gonna be even more hectic. So, but one of the things that I mentioned yesterday is because the question is, was any part of this stuff done, was it done, let me go ahead and put that up there too, Daryl, and remind me again to put that, this is the link for it. I think this is the link that Daryl's putting up for that video. But when talking about the end times, a couple of things that we need to talk about. By the way, probably next week, maybe the week after I'm gonna bring on a dear brother and we're gonna talk about this stuff. You all, I won't say who it is just yet. I won't say who it is just yet, but a lot of you guys know who this person is. We're gonna have this conversation about this. And one of the things we're talking about is that when, okay, let me back up. Let me back up. Which one of my colts cups do I wanna drink out of right now first? All right, I'll drink a little bit of water and I'll drink a little bit of coffee. Both beverages taste wonderful in my colts mug. Anyway, that's about the biggest highlights that we're gonna have this year because my colts are not gonna do that well this year, which I'm okay with. But one of the things that he and I talked about and that I tried to impress to you guys is that when someone in the Bible is speaking, it's not necessarily speaking directly to you. No one knew my name or knew your name or any of our names in the Bible when they were speaking. Now obviously Jesus did, but there's no one in the Bible. So in other words, when Jesus spoke, not Jesus, when John spoke, when Peter spoke, when Paul spoke, they were speaking to someone specifically. And so we have to look at that and realize what is it that they're speaking, why are they speaking this to them? One of the things and what brings out again on next week is that when Jesus is having this conversation in Matthew 23 and 24, who's he talking to? And he didn't bring up things like the rapture to them. Why? Because they're Jewish. We don't believe that the Jews are going to be raptured. We believe that they're going through this trouble that Jacob is gonna have, which is why we have this thing called Jacob's trouble. But when he talks about the rapture or things like that, we see that hymns, we see this being spoken of to Gentiles. And so I want you guys, this is why we're doing the Bible study. I want you guys to start looking at who's saying what to who and how it's supposed to be taken. We need to look at who's writing, who's writing to, what's the point, what's the purpose? And then also if there's some sort of background or sort of history, so that being the case, when we look at Jesus, Jesus in Matthew 23 and 24, who is he speaking to? Now that's the question I'm asking you guys to the smart Christians in the panel, who is Jesus speaking to? You can be specific or you can be just kind of in general, who is Jesus speaking to? I'm gonna go ahead and by the way, it's not just Matthew 23 is also in Luke 21 and Mark 13, but we tend to focus on too much on it being Matthew 23 and we miss some elements because we forget that he's also bringing this up in Luke and Mark as well. But who do y'all think he's talking to in Matthew or who's the conversation with? Cause there's a question that's asked, they notice something, he makes a statement about it and then they ask a question and they ask two questions. Monkey Moose says, Israel, who else do you say? The disciples, Nadine says the disciples, but Jeff is even more specific for disciples. He's only talking to four disciples here at this moment. Now, this is in a Jewish context. They reference a temple, the Gentiles could care less about the temple. The temple doesn't mean anything to them. So the Gentiles, you don't hear discussion in the Bible about the temple and these Jewish things, these symbols and so forth, or actual ceremonies and rituals and so forth. You don't see them being brought up to the Gentiles, except when the Judaizers wanted to make them convert to Judaism and then accept Christ as Messiah, which is the way to say, why would we go backwards? Which is what Paul was saying. So he's speaking to Jews, but specifically for Jews. He's speaking to Peter, James, John and Andrew and they ask him a question. So let's go into it now and there's some things that Jesus says when trying to figure out when is he coming back? Jesus tells us. Now, does he get the exact date? Does he say it's gonna be at this time at four o'clock sharp on a Thursday? No, he didn't say that. What date is? No, but he tells us some things that are going to have to happen. Are you with me? So let's go to, matter of fact, let's start in Mark 13. Let's start in Mark 13 first. He says, Jesus, this is Mark 13, one. As he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, teacher, behold, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings. Jesus said to him, do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left upon another, which will not be torn down. Well, obviously he's speaking about the temple in course. That temple is going to be destroyed in 70 AD. But does that mean that everything that he's speaking of needs to center around 70 AD? No, it does not. Because Jesus is going to, or they're gonna ask Jesus a question in just a second. As he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew were questioning him probably. So there are the four right there. Tell us when will these things be and what will be the sign when all of these things are going to be fulfilled? Let's now let's go over to Matthew and I wanna read that because I want you guys to see who was speaking to him. So let's go to Matthew 23 and let's start in 37. Thank you, lovely for the subject. I appreciate that. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her? How often I wanted to gather your children together the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings and you were unwilling. So who was he speaking of? He's Israel. I've wanted to gather you like a hen gathers her chicks and you guys just aren't willing. You're hardheaded. Behold, your house is being left to you desolate. So let's back up for a second. Let's stop. I'm not back, let's stop for a second and back up as well. We know what God has stated is going to happen to Israel. We've covered this a lot. We'll keep covering because I want it at some point in time it'll click. God has stated that he's angry with Israel. Disobedient. Matter of fact, there's the word right there, Nadine. Stiff neck. That's a nice way of putting it. You guys suck. You're hardheaded. Yeah, I know it's not a nice word to say you suck but Israel you suck. But we do too. Hardheaded, wicked, unrighteous people, just adulterous people. And so yeah, the nice way of putting it is hardheaded. I mean, stiff neck. You're stiff neck. Uh-oh, I pushed the wrong button over. I meant to push the button over here where I showed that what Dianna just said. I saw it over here and I almost messed something up. But yeah, Zach, you know what's funny? We don't spend a lot of time talking about Zach or right now, we will. As a matter of fact, we've got two pastures. Matter of fact, we do have two pastures. Don't go on it, Dianna. Don't go on it, Dianna is smart. By the way, I've got a lot of my lady moderators here today. There are times we get all the male moderators here but we don't always get all the lady moderators here. We got Carol, there's Tyra. I saw Lisa, where's Lisa? I saw Lisa's there somewhere. I just got a phone, Lisa, by the way. Who was we missing? I can't think. Oh, Latanya, where? Oh, gone at Latanya. I'm here, here I am talking about all that. I'm kidding. One day, we'll get all 10 here at one time. But we still have the males out here holding down too. We've got monkey moves here. Rashan, when he's not obligated to his work, I've just told Rashan, just go ahead and quit working and just do this, just moderate full time. Yeah, there's no payment in it, but still. God will bless you. Anyway, but there's Lisa. But what Dianna just brought up about Zachariah, it's almost as though because the book is smaller, we don't talk much about it, that we do kind of overlook what Zachariah is saying. If you read what Zachariah is saying, you will see a lot of this stuff being brought out and you can't ignore it. We quote certain passages and we think it's for certain things. For example, listen to the women in your life, wifey first though, amen, amen. You know what's funny though, let me just pause this for a second. When you guys respond, you guys respond certain ways, you guys speak certain ways, and I mean the different moderators, they're all different. They are all different. It's amazing how they're different, but similar, but they're all different. Now listen, there's a couple moderators that if you make them mad and they got a gun, they might do something to you. And there's a couple moderators who think that if you gave them a gun, that they would shoot you, they wouldn't. There's some, but they're all different. And they, I like the way they compliment each other and compliment and work and move the chats along. And then also how they respond to me. So that being the case. Oh, Daryl, I forgot about Daryl, Daryl's here. I'm sorry, Daryl. But another passage, Joel, we'll quote Joel 228 and miss what Joel is speaking about. If you go to Joel chapter two and you read what he's speaking of, we think that, oh, he's just speaking about the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. No, he's speaking about something more. A portion of what he's saying gets quoted by Peter in Acts two, but there's far more to it. These apostles, these prophets are giving God's word and there's a point, there's a reason why they are saying so. There's a reason why they are saying so and God doesn't waste his words, guys. He does not waste his words. And so when he tells us what he's gonna do, we should heed it. What does he say he's gonna do with Israel? Because our stiff neck, he is going to punish them. But, and this is why I want us Gentiles to get this. It's not like we were an afterthought to what God is doing. We were not. We were always a part of the plan. We were always part of the original plan. Well, why didn't God write enough about us in the Old Testament? Because what he's doing is he's trying, the story of the Old Testament is how rotten we are, how rotten mankind is. And so he wants to use Israel as that example. Remember, we've got this covenant that's made with God in Abram and it's really made for a lot of us because he says he's gonna bless Abraham and then through him all the nations, that's us, will be blessed. But then he wants to demonstrate how unrighteous man he is and how righteous he is. And so he takes these people who are the least of people, which is what he said. And he makes them into a people, but they are, as Nadine said, they're stiff necked. They're hardheaded, just bad people. So they are going to be our example. And God has stated that I'm going to cause them because you provoked me to jealousy. I'm gonna cause you to be jealous by a people who are not a people, but I will make those people into being my people. Amen. I will make them out to be my people and they're gonna cause you to be jealous. All of these promises, guys, have to fit together. You cannot come up with a conclusion and say, you know what, this, this and this fits, but I've got four other prophecies or 13 other prophecies that don't fit in here within, that I submit to you that everything else is probably broke too. By the way, I gotta tell you this brother, I saw your video, it was a few days ago, good video, good video, good word, good word in your video. Every now and then I click on stuff and just watch stuff. I may not pop up in there, but I'm watching. So what does he promise to do? To hurt Israel, to afflict Israel. And there's going to be this centering around Jerusalem because he's promised that Israel will be in the land and so Jerusalem, Israel, the land itself is going to be central to what God is gonna do. But that doesn't mean that only Israel or only the Jews are gonna be a part of this. No, it doesn't. So what Jesus is speaking of when we go to Matthew 23, he's saying that Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how I've tried to gather you, but you guys are hard headed as Nate, he's a stiff neck, stiff neck. He says, behold, your house is being left to you decently. Let me pause there for a second. Let me pause there for a second and go to Jeremiah 30 and read this. The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord saying, thus says the Lord God, the God of Israel. By the way, because he says the God of Israel does not mean he's not the God of us as well. He is. The God of Israel, write all the words which I have spoken to you in a book. For behold, days are coming to clear the Lord when I will restore the forces of my people, Israel and Judah. The Lord says, I will also bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers and they shall possess it. But, look what he goes on to say, for thus says the Lord, I have heard a sound of terror, of dread and there is no peace. Ask now and see if a male can give birth. Why do I see every man with his hands on his loins as a woman and childbirth? He's describing how bad it's going to get. And why have all the faces turned pale? Alas, for that day is great. There is none like it. And it is the time of Jacob's distress. But Jacob, he will be saved from it. I won't finish reading. And so he's speaking of this troubled time that's gonna come upon Israel. Well, that's what Jesus is alluding to here. He says, behold, your house is being left to you death. He's gonna do some hurt. He's gonna do some hurting on some people. For I say to you from now on, you will not see me until you say, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Now, we're getting somewhere. Jesus just made a huge, huge, huge statement. Let me ask this question. Dutch asks, is he writing in Aramaic or just typing letters together? Yes, is this been written in Aramaic? Are you asking, is Matthew speaking in Aramaic or Jeremiah, I'm not sure. Neither one of them are, by the way. So, damn, that's that question. Jeremiah's speaking in Hebrew. And Matthew, more than likely, is speaking and writing in Greek. That's a whole nother story as to why people are now coming to the conclusion and realizing that they were speaking Greek. But we'll hold that for another time. Anyway, so behold, I'm sorry, for I say to you from now on, you will not see me until you say, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Let's stop for a second. Clearly, he's not talking about right now. Jesus is speaking to these disciples. He's gotta be speaking in the future. He says, you won't see me until when? What does he just say? You're going to have to say, or they're gonna say, blessed is, is he who comes in the name of the Lord? So in other words, Jesus is saying, somebody's gonna say that. Well, who's gonna say that? Let me move this over out of the way. Uh-oh. Let me, I got my notes in the wrong spot. Hold on one second. Thank you. I got my notes here. And what I should do, I'm sorry, let me fix this, let me fix this. I'm doing this in real time because I wasn't doing it when I was supposed to be doing it. So what I'm gonna do is, I'll close it out and open it up over here. So now I've gotta use my eyes over here, put my notes right there in front of me. And there it is, bam. I tell you, I'm getting better with this technology. So now, couple of things that Jesus is telling us that's gonna have to happen before he comes back. He says, you're gonna have to say, blessed is he, or someone's gonna say blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Well, we're not there just yet. We're not there just yet. All we're talking about right now is what he is stating to them is gonna have to happen before he comes back. Notice these points about the rapture, that's not spoken to Israel. Israel never hears anything about being taken up, being raptured. They never hear that, why? Because Israel is going to go through the tribulation. The church is the one that won't have to deal with the wrath. And so you'll see certain messages of certain people because for them, it will not apply. They have, the Gentile church does not have a spirit of stupidity. They don't have a partial hardening over them. No, you're fine, you're fine, but they don't have a partial hardening over them. Israel, they're the ones that Paul says a partial hardening has come over them. Which takes, as a matter of fact, takes this. So he says, he says, one thing they're gonna have to say is blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Who's gonna say that? Who is gonna say blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord? Israel will say that. Here's my question, guys. Because the question might be, well, I think that what Jesus is referring to, this whole discussion, this discourse in Matthew 23, 24, took place and was final by 70 AD. No. You wanna know why? Because there are all of these things that Jesus says has to happen, haven't happened. So let me go ahead and put this on the screen. We'll come back to them, but I just wanna give you all something to look at as well. The first thing they will say blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Who will say blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord? Israel will say that. Recall, we've covered this before in Isaiah, I'm sorry, my eye, in Isaiah 53. Matter of fact, I didn't type it in, but you know what? I'm gonna type it in over here. Let me type it in right here. Isaiah 53, the strange verse that he puts up. Who has believed our message? And to whom has the earnest prophecy? Who has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For he grew up before him like a tender shoot and like a root out of parched ground. Notice the past tense verbs. I've said this before. I've said this before. Terry Jones says something, hold on Terry, cause I promise you, we're coming to that. We're coming to that. You said that there's no rapture in the 70 weeks. Again, why would there need to be the mention of a rapture for the 70 weeks when the 70 weeks are for Israel and the rapture is not? But we'll get there in a second because oh, by the way, that has to be fulfilled as well. So, but let's go, let's go back to this. Notice that all the verbs that are being used, this whatever's in my eyes has bothered me. They're in the past tense. These verbs in the past tense. Well, this is a prophecy about people, about Jesus on the cross. Why wouldn't it be, why would it be past tense? He says he has no stately form or majesty that we should look upon him. No appearance that we should be attracted to. I mean, here it is. He was despised. He was despised. Now, if you're going to talk going forward, that doesn't make sense. You would say he will be despised, right? But Isaiah is saying that he was despised. A man of sorrow and acquainted with grief past tense and like one of whom men hid their face. He was despised and we did not assume. So two verbs, two past tense verbs. Surely our griefs he himself bore past tense and our sorrows he carried and we ourselves esteemed him past tense, him stricken, smitten of God. He was past tense was pierced through for our transgressions. He was crushed past tense for our iniquities. The chastening of our well-being failed past tense upon him. And by his scourging, we are healed. Wait a second, that's weird right there. That part is weird. Why would you go from the past tense and then use this, the very last part, to say that we are healed? Why? Because this is what Israel is going to say in the future, which goes back to this point here where he says that they will say, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. They are going to say that Israel is going to say this in the future. Matter of fact, let's go to what Dinah brought up. In Zachariah 12, let's go to Zachariah 12 and 14, he says, I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and supplications so that they will look on me whom they have pierced and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only son and they will weep bitterly over him like the bitter weeping over the first born. In that, look what he says, in that day there will be great mourning in Jerusalem like the mourning of Hadrith Memmum. Can't say that right. In the plan of Medigal, make it up. So we'll get this whole term of Armageddon. The land will mourn every family by itself by the family of the house of David by itself and their wives by themselves and the family of the house of Nathan by itself. So it's going to be a bad day. Bad day. Then he also says, now he's going to force them though, he is going to force them to say so. He's going to force them to come around. Let's go to Zachariah 14. As in that day, his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives which is the front of Jerusalem on the east and the Mount of Olives will be split in the middle from east to west by a very large valley so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half will move toward the south. You will flee by the valley of the mountains for the valley of the mountains will reach Azel. Yes, you will flee just as you fled before the earthquakes in those days of Uzziah, King Judah. Then the Lord, my God will come and all the holy ones with him. Now, about this question he says at that point in time, then he will come. And who's going to come with him? All of his holy ones with him. So the saints of God, when Jesus shows back up, the saints of God are going to be with him. He's going to step foot on that mountain and it's going to crack and split. Guys, that did not happen yet. That has not happened yet. Let's continue reading about what else is going to have to happen. These things that Jesus says are going to have to happen before or when he comes. Let's see, where do we leave off at? Oh, I'm sorry, now we're in chapter 24, verse one. Jesus came out of the temple and was going away when his disciples came to him and pointed out the temple buildings to him and said to them, do you see all, do you not see all these things? Truly I said, you not one of these stones here will be left to one another, which will be torn down that night. There he is speaking of what's going to happen to the temple in 70 AD. Now in Malachi, we won't go over it, but God is letting us know. Malachi is telling us that the presence of the Lord is going to show up in the temple. And then he speaks about, matter of fact, I think I'll cover it on next week about what he's going to say. And so everything about this prophecy in Malachi, that hadn't happened either. And it seems to indicate that there's going to be another temple that has to be built because his presence needs to go into this temple. But I'll leave that alone for now. But verse three, as he was sitting on the mountain, this is the part you need to pay attention to, as he was sitting on the mountain of olives, the disciples came to him privately. We know those disciples were these four disciples that come to him. They said, tell us when will these things happen? And so also what else tells what, when are these things going to happen that he's speaking about these, the buildings falling down? So notice they're asking a couple of questions. One, when are these things going to happen? What things? You just said these buildings are going to be falling over. These stones won't be on top of each other. Well, when are these things going to happen? And then they asked a second question. The second question is the one that we'll be focusing on. The first question about the temples being torn down are separate from the second question. The second question says, and what will be the sign of your coming and the end of the age? Are you with me? So now the second question is, when what will be the sign of your coming and the end of the age? So what is Jesus getting ready to tell them? When these signs of him coming and the end of the age, and Jesus said to them, see to it that no one misleads you. For many will come in my name saying I am the Christ and will mislead you. So the second thing that's going to happen is people are going to come in his name saying that they are the Christ. We don't have a lot of stories at that point in time at the founding of the church at the very beginning of people coming in saying that they were the Christ. There probably were a few. Now we've seen it happen more and more, more and more of late. But is it possible someone can say, well, that was happening then? Well, sure. But certainly more so today and since then. The third thing that he says that there will be rumors of war. He says, for many will come in my name. Verse six, you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. These wars, rumors of war, these nations against nations. Well, here's the thing. That's happened. That was happening then, but not to the degree since then, even more so. As a matter of fact, really not so much then because at that point in time, even up to 70 AD, there was one gigantic nation that would be Rome. And no one was coming against Rome at that time. Now we did have other smaller nations fighting and so forth, but that really would not fit at that point in time. Are you with me? Now, someone could say it does fit. I won't argue too much on that, but it'd be kind of difficult for them to say, yeah, there were wars and rumors of wars and so forth. Well, at least not for them. Now, were they persecuted at that time? Sure. But in terms of wars between nations and nations, not a lot, not a lot. Verse seven, for nation will rise up against nation and kingdom against kingdom. And in various places, there will be famines and earthquake. Certainly more so as we've seen the time going more and more earthquakes and more and more of these things that's been spoken of. So number three and four wars and rumors of war, four, there will be famines and earthquake. And both of these things we've seen intensify over the course of time. The next thing we're gonna see, he says, then they will deliver you to tribulation. Huh, think about that for a second. Then they will deliver you. Who is the you that they will deliver to tribulation? That's the question. Who is the you that they will deliver to tribulation? By the way, let me just say these before I forget. Amen. Amen, thank you for the super chat. But yeah, thank you. Robert Tuzzi, who I said has the best YouTube name and would be a wonderful name in prison. That's just Robert Tuzzi, just something to me. Thank you for the super chat. Also, Frank Rodriguez, thank you so much. Thank you. Oh, you like the new intro? Thank you. That's, listen, we can stop right there. That's really the most important thing. I don't care about this eschatology stuff. I care about that. No, I'm kidding. I'm hoping that intro grows with you guys. I'm hoping an intro is growing on me. I'm hoping it grows on me. I'm hoping an intro is growing on me. I'm hoping it grows on you guys. But anyway, back to this. Robert, you've got me off topic. I mean, Frank, you got me off topic. Anyway, so who is the you? He says they will deliver you to tribulation. Well, let's see, who is the, what? First of all, it's plural. So it could be you, you guys sitting there or the you in terms of Israel. Well, we know, if you think broadly speaking, because the prophecies have already stated that Israel will have this tribulation. Just go back and read what he says to Jacob and to Daniel and to Jeremiah and Daniel, which by the way, we're gonna go to Daniel in a second. So he says, and they will kill you. So they're gonna be delivered to this tribulation, the Jews, they are going to kill you. They are going to kill you. Who's the you? Well, this is how you know the you is much more than those four or much more than those disciples. Why do I say we know that the you is bigger and he's speaking about Israel? Well, how many people are there right now at this time? Four, four guys. Who are those four people that are there with Jesus? Now, why don't y'all think this through? Name the four people that are there with Jesus. In case you didn't know, let's go back to in Mark 13. As he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, opposite Peter, James, and John, and Andrew. So those were the four. Let's go back to here. He says, and they will kill you. So who is the you that he's speaking of? Well, it's much more than just those you. How do I know? Because he's not speaking about just those you, those four yous, those four yous, those four, you know why? Because one of those four won't be killed before the temple is destroyed in 70 AD. One of those four, we don't, didn't die like them. One of those four is not handed over to be killed. That's John. Are you with me? So he's speaking more in terms of Israel. And they will be, as he says, hated by all nations. Israel will be hated by all nations because of my name. So that's the next thing. Then you will be delivered to tribulation and be hated by all nations. So that, and that you is very important that we understand who the you is. Israel. Verse 10, at that time, many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. Fall away from what? That's the sixth one. Will fall away. They will fall away from what? Now we talked about this in 1st Timothy 4 where he says in the latter times there's gonna be this falling away. Falling away from what? Clearly he's not talking about Judaism. No, falling away from this tenant, this faith, not the verb but the noun, this belief. What's this belief that we're talking about? This belief that we call Christianity by the way Christianity is not a bad word. Christianity is a good word. Paul says don't let someone mistreat you or do you wrong because you're a Christian. If you suffer for a Christian, amen. For being a Christian, it's good to be a Christian. It's not a bad word. Even if someone were to use it as a bad word we are called Christians in the Bible. So don't miss what he's saying. There's gonna be many who will fall away from this faith not from having faith, not from the verb but the noun. And I didn't really plan this out that the video that I did today was tied to this. I didn't plan that but it just does. Why? As we get to this day and you can see that certain today more and more people are moving away from the faith. You pick the doctrine, you pick the teaching that we know is true and watch how more and more people are moving away from it less and less people are holding to true doctrines. Yeah, now it's in fact to say that Jesus is not God. Now it's a thing and you're gonna have more and more saying so. You're gonna have people saying that Jesus didn't die on the cross. You're gonna have all these different things that we used to hold as true and we still do but more and more people are gonna move away from the teaching. Remember Paul makes this statement, I fought the good fight, I finished my race, finally there's later for me a crown of righteousness. He says, what did he say? I have kept not my faith but I have kept the faith. What's the faith? The words, the tenets. Cause he also brings out Alexander who he says, he opposed our message but me I kept it. That's the point. So now there's going to be this falling way. It hadn't happened yet. So it couldn't have been at that moment. Why? Because there was nothing to fall away from because what it was at Jesus' time of saying this and then later on you're gonna see this greater in Gavin. You're gonna see people growing and coming to the faith at this point in time. Even at 70 AD you're gonna see more and more Christians coming and one day we're gonna have to start talking about why there was this big schism between the Gentiles and the Jews even after. Cause what we don't talk about this is that there was a huge schism between the Jews and the Gentiles shortly after the founding of the church. As a matter of fact, so much so that there was a big schism when you see this persecution of the Jews at 70 AD and around that the Gentiles, unfortunately, that the Gentiles did not have the Jews back. No, no, us Gentiles sheepesses, we weren't trying to help the Jews out. Sad to say, when someone went, listen, it tends to happen when they're shooting over there we tend to run that way. They're shooting at our neighbors, we're going this way. That's what the Gentiles did. And so what ends up happening, you see a big split, you see a big split in certain thought. Even with end times, matter of fact, a huge split starts arising at the beginning of, or the beginning of the second century and it has to deal with this schism because Gentile believers who make up the bulk of believers at that time don't see this major part of Jews, of Israel. The Jewish believers, they do. The Gentiles don't because now what do we do? We'll find anything, anything to divide over. We'll divide amongst race, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, we'll divide amongst that. We'll divide amongst gender. Of course, nowadays we got 13 or 14 different genders, 47 different genders, so we really divide it, right? We'll divide over truth, right and wrong, make up your own truth. We divide over parts of the country. We divide, do you all remember the story? Some of you all are old enough. Some of you are old enough. Tyra's a spring chicken, so she don't know this. Dinah's too young to know this. Josiah, you probably, you look, I think you're probably too young for this. Annette, you're definitely too young for this. Layla, you're certainly too young for this. Y'all remember, at least you might remember this. Me and, I wasn't there either, but I remember watching this in the, I remember watching this. We watched this in, what grade was I in? First or second grade? Well, you know what, there you go, Henry. Henry is not a spring chicken because he just told us he's not. But you all remember, remember back in the day, we used to wheel out the, if you were part of the AV team in school in high school or junior high or elementary school, you got to work the projector. Now, some of you folks, some of you folks don't know what a projector is. What in the world is he talking about? We just pull out our iPads or these big TV screens or what have you, but they used to have a projector and you had to like the little wheels, you had to put them on the front and the back or whatever, run through the machine and all that stuff like that. Well, they showed us a video. They showed us this video and this is how we divide ourselves. This is amongst all white kids. So if you all remember this story, the teacher's name was Jane. And what she did was she divided the kids up between blue eyes and brown eyes. Do you all remember that? Blue eyes and brown eyes. And they started, the blue-eyed kids were treating the brown-eyed kids like just some crap in vice versa. One day, the brown eyes, they're in favor. The next day, it's the blue eyes. And what's funny is some of these blue-eyed kids were treating the brown-eyed kids bad and they might have brown-eyed parents. We will divide over everything, anything. Carol says she's remembered that. The reason why Carol remembers that is because as a little girl, her parents told her about it. She didn't see it because she was too young also. So if we'll divide over everything, so too will the church and we see it today. We divide over charismatic, Pentecostal, reform. Now, let me say this. I disagree with different doctors and so forth, but let me just say this again. Charismatics are our brothers. Pentecostals are our brothers. Reform, Calvinists, Arminian, they are our brothers. If you get to the point to where, because a person doesn't think like you, shame on you and we've got to start looking at you as to whether you are a part of the family. Just keep it real, because it's a hard issue. When you start doing that, yeah, I disagree with this. I disagree with that, but I love you to death. I love, I told you, one of my buddies in prison, he was a oneness Pentecostal. He didn't know what oneness Pentecostal was. He couldn't, he was a oneness Pentecostal who believed in the Trinity. Sometimes folks are in a certain position as their family. It's not that they are, you know, so, but you know what his heart was? To go out and to share the gospel and bring guys in prison to Christ. Tell me you wouldn't say it, but what was the church doing at the beginning of the second century? They started dividing up. Is Marcus Ryder's my brother? If he saved, I still hold out a hopeful, I'm gonna tell you the truth. I still hold out a hopeful Marcus Ryder's. I think that he, I'm hoping that he's just high energy and ignorant. And that's not a put down, but got a lot of energy, zeal, but not according to knowledge. I hope that's him. And so if that's the case today, man. So, but again, it's not, it's not my job to correct him. It's my job if I see something to call it out, but I can't, I can, I can't tell you if my favorite teacher is saved. I don't know, and that seems to be so, but I don't know. But that being the case, at the turn of the century, there's this, the schism is going bigger and bigger and bigger. And so the Jews and the Jews who are believers are having a problem with the Gentile believers and they don't see Israel the same way. And so that's what's happening with our thought with some of the early church fathers, because y'all do realize how many of the early church fathers weren't Jewish. If the early church fathers weren't Jewish, they were Gentiles. What do you think? Do you think that's gonna color the way they see things? Sure it does. Sure it does. And depending upon who's moving, who's running things, if you happen to write, there's no guarantee that your writings are gonna be preserved. Are the streams live usually at three? They're usually at that clock right, right there. That says five o'clock. Usually it's five o'clock central time. So three, where do you, are you on the West Coast? Last sauce king, AKA walking. It's a long name. By the way, thank you, Skilly Child. Appreciate that. Thank you for the support. But that will influence how you read and write. So there was this division. And there's, we just do that. That's the one thing. But Jesus did say he's gonna take two families and make them into one. Jews and Gentiles. Amen for that. Amen. It's gonna take daddy. It's gonna take daddy to get us together. It's gonna take daddy to get us together. That will all have a glorified body. All the ladies will have beautiful hair and all the guys will be bald. That's what's gonna happen. When we all get our glorified body because guess what you won't, guess what you won't need in heaven. You won't need hair. You will not need hair. I don't know if y'all realize that. You don't, you think God has hair? No, God doesn't have hair. Why would God have hair? He didn't need hair. No. Jesus came down and had hair but the Bible says that he came down in a form of Lord and the angels. He came down in a humble fashion. So he had to have hair to look all messed up like us. That's why he had hair. But let me stop for getting in trouble. Anyway, but what he said was then they would deliver you for tribulation. The sixth one. Many will fall away and the seventh one. This is happening. Go to verse 11. Many false prophets will arise and will mislead. So one of the things that Jesus says is gonna have to happen at his return or prior to his returning. Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. That's happening. That's happening. Seva said that Samson had locks. Then he got them cut off. That hair, that hair. Listen, that hair can be a vice. That hair can be a vice. You ain't got to worry about how to brush it, how to style it, how to comb it. You don't even have to wash it. I don't buy shampoo. God, I say that. Daddy, have you seen my shampoo? Why would I have seen your shampoo? What do you think I'm doing with it? No, so aerodynamic. You know why? Aerodynamic. So when I'm caught up, there's no drag. Yeah, I will get there before you guys get there. When I'm caught up to meet him there, I will get there before you guys, me and the rest of the ball crew, before you guys. You know why? Your hair is slowing you down. I better stop. J Word of the Way, thank you so much. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. Do I believe that America is bad? You know what? Honestly, I don't know what America is. I don't know what role America plays in this. Who knows? The way it's going, we're not gonna be this. Ronald Reagan, and this was when, and I'm not trying to be political, because Democratic candidates and Republican candidates said this, this is when America was at its greatest. We've always had problems, never been a perfect nation, but he said the gold of America, the way we're supposed to be looked at by Reagan, he said as a shiny beacon, a city on a hill. That ain't gonna be us. It doesn't look like that. It doesn't look like that. I think it's sad when other countries have more morals than us. And I mean like China, they're showing them, so they seem to be a little bit more, they're not even a godly country, but this and Senor Conrad is upset because of my, he said, I did a bait and switch because I married my wife with hair and then lost it. No, I got better. See, I got, when she married me, I was young and immature. I didn't know left from right. No, I didn't know, but as I matured, as I became a man, I put childish things away. I need to get somebody to speak in tongues for me. Anyway, let's get back to it. Here's the other thing, the next thing false prophets will arise, well, obviously that was happening then and it's happening even more so, but look at this one though. 12, because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold, even more so. How lawless are we? Find your neighborhood, big city, either maybe up in the Midwest somewhere or certainly out West where crime is rampant. I'm gonna cover this also, some of this crime is like happening in Oakland and so forth where the people are just sitting back and watching. I saw, and I'm not making fun of these ladies, but these are two older ladies, two older white ladies. So it's not just young blacks or Hispanics, these are two older white ladies and they had some decent size when one of the ladies was a big lady. I mean, when I say, I mean a big lady. I'm talking about like big mama and a cousin with her. Stealing, pushing out with the cart and just throwing it, it's just that's how lawless it has gotten out there. That's how lawless it's got. I mean, folks just don't care. And the authorities let them go on and do it until it's your livelihood that they're stealing. So this has happened even more so. This has happened even more so and we can see it's gonna get worse because I can promise you, anybody that's over 40 can say, I don't even recognize this country. So I don't know if America's gonna be the great Babylonian, it might already be, I don't know. I don't know, or maybe God will destroy we won't even be even a thought when these things happen. Who knows? Who knows? Yeah, Raider for life. Hate to say it, brother, is that why the Raider? You think that's why the Raiders left? That might be why the Raiders left. But you know their history, they will come back to Oakland one day. The Raiders will be back in Oakland one day. It did happen quick, didn't it? It happened, it's like this fallen nation that we have happened right before our eyes and so quickly. Remember, just last week it was Y2K in 9-11 and we were a different country there. But continuing, notice he says, the one who endures the end will be saved. Now the question is, is he referring to salvation? The enduring ones to the end will be saved. So this is why I would say it'd be a hard time to say, a hard to make this out to be even being fulfilled if you are a preterist, if you believe that this stuff was fulfilled, let's say in 70 AD, because there were those folks who lived during that time who did not aren't saved. They didn't make it through that entire, I mean, they made it through the entire time, but they weren't necessarily saved, we don't know. So this might be referring to them just being saved physically. But that's fine, that's fine. Would you say? Hold on, wait a second. I'm not sure, James, I'm not sure what you're asking. I'm not sure if you want, what do you want me to look up in the Greek? And no, and I wouldn't say that the English Bibles aren't twisted. I mean, we speak English, so we've got to have it translate from Hebrew to Greek and parts of Arabic into English. I mean, from Hebrew in English, I mean Hebrew and Greek into English, so you do the best we can, right? So, but the ones who endure the end shall be saved. Look what he says. Here's another thing. This is the ninth thing. This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations and then the end will come. The gospel must be preached to all the nations and then the end will come. Let me pause there for a second. I brought this up last night and then someone said, well no, the gospel had been preached and we, because we didn't have time, so I couldn't pull this out. So I want to go ahead and pull up a couple passages because there's a belief that maybe this has happened. Where is it? And wouldn't you know it? I didn't put it up over here, I'll put it right here. Let's go to Colossians one and let me just give you guys a Greek warning. We're going to look at some Greek, okay? Go look at some Greek. So Colossians one, 23. If indeed you continue in the faith, firmly established and steadfast and not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation or all the world under heaven of which I, Paul was made a minister. Now, this passage comes up a lot when talking about salvation, eternal security, one saved always saved. This passage comes up a lot. Thank you so much, Jarvis. I appreciate, thanks for the super chat, but I appreciate the words. Thank you so much. Thank you. This is where the Greek part is going to help. Yes, Reggie, we believe the gospel was written in Greek first because the reason why we can't find any extant or surviving copies of the New Testament in Hebrew or Aramaic. The Peshadah comes three centuries later, I believe. So plus Greek was a lingua franca, but I'll cover that some of the time in the future. But notice this right here. Some of your versions might say that the gospel was proclaimed in all, in all the, I mean, I'm sorry, in all the earth, in all the world or all creation. This word, tisi, tisi. Why they put those two together? The kappa and the ta, tise. Taipai, taun, Iranon, which is the under the entire heavens, all the heavens. The problem with this is one, we've got to look at something really closely and the English is saying it correctly, but it could be said a little bit easier. This word right here in the Greek, this word right here, kruks fentos. It is being proclaimed. That's not the issue. It's this word right here, the definite article the. Two, it's in the genitive. So it's referring to something. It's referring to the gospel that you have heard which was proclaimed of the one which was proclaimed. That's what it's saying of the one that was proclaimed. So it's not the gospel being proclaimed. He's saying, and do not move away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard which was of the one that was proclaimed or the one that was being proclaimed. That's literally how this goes. This two, kruks fentos, fentos, I'm sorry. This two is the genitive. So it's referring of the something of what was being proclaimed, which is Jesus. Are you with me? But even more to that, this word creation, tise. Notice the difference. This is just referring to the gospels being preached to different parts, different creations. Paul makes a statement though, that tells us the gospel has not gone out to all the nations yet. I hadn't been preached to all the nations yet. Romans 15, I think is it 20? I think is it 20? Well, look at your notes, Corey, that will tell us. Yeah, Romans 15, 20. Read this. Then he says, and thus I aspire to preach the gospel not where Christ was already named so that I would not build on another foundation. Now, I won't go into all of this, but Paul is saying I wanna go preach where Christ hadn't been heard yet. Well, that means that the gospel hadn't been preached everywhere. He wanted, now in this case, he's wanted to go to Spain or Gaul. He's wanted to go to Spain where the gospel has not been preached. So that could not mean that Colossians 123, that the gospel has been preached everywhere. He's speaking of what was preached to creation. That is the gospel of Christ. And then even more so, if we go back to Matthew 23, I wanna show you something in Matthew 23. There's a difference. Where he says this gospel must be preached. Do you all know, have you all heard what the word world is? The word world, the most common used term for the word world is cosmos or Cosmon, depending upon whatever any, if we're talking about, if it's in the nominative, the genitive and so forth. But anyway, the cues have dated, but this case, the word cosmos is not used. Because the world in that regard can refer to a lot of different things. It can mean the actual world. It can mean like our local world, my own little personal world. But this word, that's not the word that's used here. The word that's used here, if you all can see on the screen, or it can mean, this word refer is the world, but it's the earth. Now we're saying something different than what was said in Colossians one. Now he says this gospel must be preached in the whole earth. So you could not confuse this with Colossians one. Jesus is saying everywhere on this planet, the gospel will be preached and when that happens, I'll show up. When that happens, I'll be there. So that must also take place, it has not happened yet. When it does, now, are you gonna know when the gospel been preached to everywhere? The last corner of the world that hadn't gotten it, you're not gonna know. You are not going to know. But he's telling us, if you were to know, that's one of the things that's gonna have to happen. Verse 15, he says, therefore, when you see, uh-oh, now, Dinah, are you praying for me? We're about to step into some tall weeds right here. We're gonna step into some tall weeds. He says, therefore, when you see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place, let the reader understand that those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. She says always, well, amen, cause I need it. At this point in time, what he was saying, what Jeremiah was saying, this is gonna happen. It's going to get bad. Please guys, let me drink my water out of my official colts cup. Let me drink a sip of coffee out of my official colts cup. How do I think it's gotten bitter and cold already? That was horrible, but I'm gonna drink it all. Why? Because when a man drinks coffee, he drinks it all. I don't care how bad it tastes like motor oil. Gonna drink it all. Anyway, I'm sorry. You said, can I repeat the part about the world? I mean, about the difference of how world is used. The word that's used in Colossians, no, you know, a matter of fact, no, Dutch, just from wanting to be, no, I'm kidding. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Let's go back to that, no problem. In Colossians, 123, the word that's used for, it's not even the word world, it's really for creation, but it can be taken as world. This word, katise, is creatures or creation. It's almost like, and they are like different kinds. And so, you have heard which was proclaimed in all the different creations. So he's referring, you've heard it proclaimed in these different creations. It's not really to be in all of creation. It's in all of the creations and also these different ones. There are more to come. It's not to be taken in all the world, one, because that's not the word that's used, but then when we go to Matthew 23, the word that's used for world is the word, where's it at? Oikumene, which is the whole earth, the globe, the earth, that's different. It's not even like the word cosmos. When this word is used, it means the entire, it means the globe. Sometimes cosmos does not mean the globe, it just might mean your local world. All right, Luke, Luke said, go cowboys. Praise God, praise God. But now, this part where he says about the abomination desolations, this has to happen, it's going to get bad. Let me just say this while I take my drink. We have, guys, I'm sorry, my Amillennial brothers. We're not in a millennium. Other guys, we have not gone through the tribulation. We are not in the tribulation. It's not that the tribulation is so bad, but it's limited, so all you have to do is come to America to get, because if this is the tribulation, I don't care how bad it's got in America, it is still pretty, if this is tribulation, pretty good tribulation. We got iPhones, that is, if you know the Lord, all you folks on Android, you probably still, listen, get saved. We've got Wi-Fi, we've got air conditioning, we got pets. I would have ventured to say, I don't know this to be the case, but I would venture to say that once the tribulation starts, I don't think folks will have very many pets. I think folks might be eating their pets. I don't know. I think Fluffy might be on the menu. I don't know. I'll be honest with you, the coffee doesn't taste bad, it just tastes tough. I feel power in me right now, Al. I feel power in me right now, Al. You, you hate her? CG says, Android users are saved too. Okay, okay, but they're babes in Christ. Would you, would you at least agree, agree that Android users are at least babes in Christ? Probably so, probably so. Anyway, it's going to get worse. It's going to get bad, it's going to get bad. Trying to prepare you, Jesus is saying the same thing. Now he's talking about this abomination of desolations that is spoken of in Matthew, I mean in Daniel. Let's go to what Daniel says. Daniel says in, where are we at? Let's go to Daniel 924. He's worried about his people, Israel. He's worried about Israel, his people, because remember they had these 70, the 70 year exile. Why was the 70 year exile? Because they were bad people. They were, they were, they were being idolatrous, but even more than that, what they were were they disobeyed the Sabbath. Every seven years, they're supposed to be a Sabbath of the land and they didn't do that. And so because of that, they disobeyed 70 times. So God's all right, fine. I see your 70 and raise you 70, but God ain't finished. Because what you cannot do is you cannot tell God, well listen, my punishment is too severe. Nope, nope, nope, nope. I didn't, God, God will say I didn't tell you. I mean, I didn't get a say in your sin. So since I didn't get a say in your sin, you don't get a say in my punishment. So I'm punishing you now, I can testify to that. 70 weeks have been decreed. Wait a second, hold on, hold up, hold up, God. I'm speaking for Daniel. Hold up, God, what do you mean 70 weeks, 77s? Oh yeah, I'm bringing you back into the land temporarily. You were out for 70 years, but 70 weeks, 77s have been declared. 77s, well, why 77s Lord? Because how many 7s did you all disobey? Well, 70 ever? Oh, I see what you're doing there. I see what you did there, God. God, I see what you did. I can't say you're being funny, God, but if it was a joke, it's a good one. 77, we disobeyed 77s and so 77s are decreed to us. We've seen the first 69. That part is not in dispute. It's the last seven and he's gonna talk about that and that's where this abomination of desolation comes in. Again, all of these prophecies have to fit, guys. So if you're gonna say that the last seven happened during the temple being ransacked in 70 AD, one didn't fit chronologically with seven years, but two, no, there's more to happen. Let's see what he says. 70 years or 77s have been decreed for your people that is Israel and your holy city that is Jerusalem to finish the transgression has not happened yet, guys. To make an end of sin has not happened. To make atonement for aniquity to bring everlasting righteousness. That has not happened to Israel just yet. To bring in everlasting righteousness to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy. Now, this workplace is not there. It might be the most holy one or the most holy place. It could be. It could be. So that didn't really matter for the point of this conversation. So you ought to know and discern that from the issuing of the decree to restore and build Jerusalem until Messiah of the Prince, there will be seven weeks and 62 weeks. So we know that from the time of this decree, the building of the wall and so forth up to these 69 weeks, that's when Jesus is put on the cross. So it goes perfectly. That part goes. Well, the next seven after that will be 40 AD or so. Nothing happened. So it couldn't have been that last seven. We are on this. I know folks don't like to hear it, but we're on this pause. He didn't say the 77s are gonna be consecutive. He gives the first seven and then the next 62. They just, those two happen to go back to back. But the next one doesn't. He says then. So in terms of just reading from the Hebrew, then after the 62 weeks or then after the 69 total, then sometime after Messiah will be cut off and have nothing to do with the prince who is to come who will destroy the city and the sanctuary. Now that can be and likely is referring to the temple being destroyed. He'll be cut off and then these other things are gonna happen in between or after the 69th week. The 70th hadn't started yet. Watch what he says. And his end will come with the flood. Even the end there will be war. Desolations are determined. Verse 27, here it is. This is what's gonna happen in the last seven. This did not happen in 70 AD or anytime since then. He says, and he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week. Well, what's a week? Seven years. So this bad guy is going to make a covenant with who? With Israel. For, well, not just Israel with other folks as well, but with the many for one week. But in the middle of the week, what is the middle of seven, three and a half? In the middle of this seven year period, three and a half years into it, everything's going good, hunky dory. But then the great tribulation, the great part of the tribulation, because really this is the tribulation, it's really going to kick up middle of the week. Look what he says. But in the middle of the week, he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering on the wing of the abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed is poured out to the one who makes desolate. So this is going to, it has not happened yet, guys. That part has not happened yet. Matter of fact, if we were to read Daniel 12, let's go from 11, from that time, from the time that the regular sacrifices are abolished and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. How blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to 1,335? I won't go over the difference between those years, I mean those days, but he's giving specific time. God never gives a specific number of times and then says, ah, it's thereabouts. No, he means exactly what he said, he's precise. He's precise. But as for you, go your way to the end, then you will enter into rest and rise again for your allotted portion at the end of the age. So at the very end, you'll go into your land, you'll have this. So let's go back to Matthew 23. Let's go back to Matthew 23, I mean 24. Verse 16, then those who are in Judea must flee from the mountains, to the mountains. Remember he says, it's gonna be this pain, men are gonna be bowed over so bad, like are these men having babies? Whoever's on the house top must not go down to get the things out of his house. Whoever's in the field must not turn back to get his cloak, but woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days. But pray that your flight will not be in winter or on a Sabbath, for then there will be a, look what he says, a great tribulation. Have we had tribulations before? Sure, we've had tribulations, there has been, there is now and will be tribulations. But he says there will be this great tribulation. And the word that's used here guys, it's Megala. Philippe says, Megala, which is this tribulation so great, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will, you won't see anything like this. Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved, but for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short. Look what he says, then if anyone says you behold, here is the Christ, another thing they're gonna say, Jesus is here, but we've been seen that. Or there he is, do not believe it. For false Christ and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. But hold, I have told you in advance so that if they say to you behold, he's in the wilderness, do not go. And unfortunately folks do listen, hey, Jesus showed up. He's wearing Nike's and a blue sweatsuit. Okay, some folks just, he says, verse 27, here it is guys. For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be, wherever the corpse is, they're the voltage will gather. But immediately after those days, I'm gonna go back to this point in just a second, but immediately after the tribulation of those days, the next point, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give off light. That has not happened yet guys. And the stars will fall. That has not happened yet guys. And the sky, I'm from the sky and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn. That has not happened. All the people of the earth or the tribes have mourned. That has not happened. And they will see the Son of Man come in the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. And he will send forth his angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together his elect from the four winds. He has not gathered his elect at all guys. He has not gathered his elect. But do you know the most important part, the most important sign about Jesus' second coming or his coming back? Call what you wanna call it. Do you know what is the most important sign, the most important aspect of Jesus' return? Does anybody wanna take a guess while I drink my awesome coffee that somebody was making fun of? What's the sign of signs? What's the one sign? What's the most important thing that he's just stated about knowing or about his coming back? Can I tell you what the most important sign is? The most important thing? What's the, Jesus is asking, what's the most important thing that he just told us to look forward to? Yeah, being public, falling away, the trumpets, those are important. False prophets, those important, all less important. But they're not the most important thing. This is how we know these things hadn't happened yet. Not even the rapture. Not even saints coming with them. And you guys are giving some great answers, I promise you. But no, there you go. The most important thing is him coming back. The most important thing about Jesus coming back or his coming, his return, is Jesus' return. He has to come back. Don't forget the son of man is to return. Since he hadn't returned, those things have not been fulfilled yet. That's when he's gonna return. But he hadn't. And I think we miss, I think we missed that. We look past that. While we're looking for the signs and so forth, no, look for him. When he comes, we'll see him coming. Amen? You ain't gotta check your watch, look around, figure. I wonder, no, I'm reading the signs, I'm looking at the tea leaves, but he is going to come. The most important aspect about Jesus' return is his return, him coming back. So I'm not going to go into the rapture. Yeah, look up. I'm not going to the rapture. I'm not going into revelation. Yeah, I do believe, matter of fact, emphatically do I believe that the church will not suffer. He promises that. Why would the church go through this tribulation? The tribulation is, as he says, for those disobedient Jews. So we gotta ask the question, why? Why is it happening? And then after, and then he was gonna have this millennial reign, he's not having it now. The devil is not shut up. If the devil is bound, somebody need to go check the chain. Somebody need to go make sure he hadn't escaped. So anyway, those are the most important things. Those are things that Jesus says, how we can know when he's coming back. When these things happen, they all haven't happened yet. Now you may say that some of these things have happened and are happening, but all of these things have to happen because that was the question that they asked him. They asked him, let's go back to the question. I'm scrolling, I should just push the button that would take me right to it. They said, tell us when these things will happen and this part right here, let me highlight this part. He says, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age? So what's the sign? What's the sign? Fred Davis, after all that just said, there's no pre-trip. That's fine. That's fine. If you take it, if you take it's gonna be post-trip. That's fine. If we take it's post-trip relation, then we got a problem with one of the books because in Revelation 20, if you have a post-tribulation view in Revelation 20, meaning that after the tribulation they're taking up and also depending on your millennial view after the tribulation, if Jesus sets up his kingdom and then if the tribulation happens and then you're raptured, we got a problem. Why is that? The reason why there'd be a problem is because after this tribulation, if people are given these brand new bodies, these glorified bodies and then from there we immediately go into the millennium. Now some folks who remember millennium right now which is not right because Isaiah's telling us some things about the millennium that in the millennium, in the millennium no babies are gonna die. In the millennium, you're unlucky. I'm using the word lucky just for the sake of saying this. You're unfortunate if you die before 100. Now people are gonna die, but if you die before 100, well no, so this can't be the millennium. People are dying before 100, that's not the average age. It's not 100. Most folks die before 100. But after this tribulation, then this thousand year reign, if that's how you take it, here's the problem. In Revelation 20, when Satan is released from the pit, then he is going to gather people from all over the earth to fight this one last battle against God. Now follow me, the people that have been raptured, if you're post-trip, then those folks got a brand new body. So that means everybody, all the Christians, those that died before and those that were just raptured have a brand new body, a glorified body. This glorified body does not reproduce because Jesus already told us that in heaven there'll be no one taking or giving in marriage and be like the angels. So, you got this glorified body, then here comes this millennium, but how do you die with the glorified body? Number one, number two, you don't procreate. Somebody's gotta be alive to procreate. Well, everyone else that went through the tribulation that did not come to Christ died. They died. So now what? Who is Satan going to deceive? The only way this works, the only way is if there's a pre-tribulation rapture, those who go through the tribulation immediately surviving the tribulation and placing faith in Christ, they still have a regular body. They can procreate and so that's where you're gonna have people born and dying in the tribulation. Those very same people, though Jesus is reigning, all of them aren't placing their faith in him and so there are gonna be some people who are not he is that are still alive during this millennial reign, some being born, so the last set of people, the last generation that will be around in the millennial reign that are not godly, those will be the ones that Satan will come out and deceive. The post-tribute does not work because who gets deceived? Who is gonna be the ones who will have a, one, not have a glorified body, but two, so it just doesn't work. I won't go into that too much but I would say the rapture is not a second coming. He's not setting, remember in the rapture he's not setting foot on the earth. Jesus says in Zechariah that he's gonna set his foot down at his coming, at his second coming, he's gonna set his foot down on that mountain and it's gonna split in half. Well, the rapture, Jesus didn't set foot on the ground, so. All right, so guys, I know there's a lot of questions. Hold your questions. I think we're gonna try to make this work next week. We're gonna try to make this work next week to where we can have this end time discussion so I'm gonna have a guest on and we'll have a lively discussion. This person actually believes along the lines of me so take all your questions. We'll take all the disagreements and so forth and we'll see if we can handle it. Where do I get the rapture from? It's the Latin word, raptizo, but it comes from this word, hapaso, the Greek word. It means to be caught up. It's what we're talking about in first and second Thessalonians. So anyway, guys, I love you so much. This has been fun. I got a chance to go through all of my notes I did not get a chance to use yesterday in the discussion and I'll try to remember to put that. Matter of fact, I will. I'll go ahead and put the link to that video discussion in the description. So anyway, yes, that's right. Carol's reminding you guys to make sure that you guys show up for the Bible study on Saturday. If you can't be there, the beauty of YouTube is you can always go back and watch it again. So guys, thank you so much. God bless you. You all be safe. Praise God.
