 Nothing gets people excited like something that we're not totally sure about like the end times and something that we cannot say definitively well such as the case with the topic today, which is the mark of the beast Question is what is the true mark of the beast? Does anyone know what the mark of the beast a lot of people have a lot of different Theories or beliefs or what have you do we have it now? Well, let me say this before we get going We have not seen the mark of the beast yet I let me just go ahead and in with the suspense because there's some people that believe that certainly It's like there's this rush every time that something comes out that that is the mark of the beast It's let me tell you what it's not it wasn't the vaccine We haven't had it yet. Yes, you can take your phone and wave it up against something. That's not no no no now Are there some things that are kind of I don't know getting us ready or moving us there I'd probably say so and we're gonna talk about that as well. I think there are some things that we're doing Obviously, they're gonna get us closer and closer to when this actually happens. I Pray I'm not here. I Pray that I'm not around when these things happen, but Never know you never know there are some things that are happening now That I never would have guessed would have happened There are some things that we do some things some ways that it's kind of become the the norm in society That I just never would have guessed and so to say that I can't see myself There was a time where I never thought that I would see The end times whatever the end times are gonna be I just I never would have thought that but There's some things that are happening now. I didn't listen I never would have thought that I would see a man telling everyone else that he's a woman and women accepting it I never thought I would see a woman losing to a man in a woman's beauty passion Never thought I would have seen that but that is what we're having happen now. That's what we're seeing now and so Whenever they are they're a lot closer now than they were before so that being the case Let's go ahead and jump into revelation 13 Which is where we find this issue that we're talking about by the way, let me just go and see I would like to see what you guys have said thus far thus far 46% have said that the mark of the beast beast is an actual mark of visible mark 15% so far have said that it is some sort of chip something that's not visible and 40% says I have no idea don't know God. I don't know your guess as good as mine All of those are probably good answers. I'm gonna assume. I know they all were well-intentioned answers So that's the most important thing now. Let's go ahead and jump into the scriptures and the dragon stood on the sand of the sea Sure, this is revelation 13 1 Then I saw beast novice. This is John John is told us from the beginning of revelation that he must write down the things Which you've seen the things which are and the things which are to come. This is the things which are to come So let me just back up again if we're gonna say that John is giving this understanding Then none of what he's talking about has taken place. Correct, which means this is not This is this is post 70 AD Post 78 it's vitally important. There are some that would try to ascribe John's writing as an earlier writing in the around 70 AD 60 the late 60s No, it's not. This is it's clearly not this is after 70 AD And so John is writing what the Lord has told them what must happen. This is in the future So going back to it then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea Now there are some imagery. There are some imagery here and remember and here's working where if you let it It can be confusing, but it shouldn't be confusing. I Told you guys that I hold to a literal grammatical historical hermeneutic Well, when you get to certain certain words certain phrases certain statements certain sentences certain verses certain passages certain books in the Bible You can find yourself looking at symbols or imagery wondering how to interpret I Think that all of this there is an interpretation But can you can you read all of this literally in other words? Do we see an actual beast some animal is an actual animal coming up out of the sea having ten horns? No, that is not the case. He's describing someone this person happens to be the end of Christ And in the next piece we're going to see is going to be this false prophet But he's using imagery number John is doing his very best to write And so he's using descriptive terminology when it happens and there's a passage that tells us that they don't know these things They don't understand it. They won't understand it until the time comes and then when they see it They'll know it once it happens. Okay, this makes perfect sense And you've all seen stuff like that where it was kind of confusing and then when you actually saw it You recognize. Okay. Yeah, that now it makes everything that you say it makes perfect sense now so Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea having ten horns and seven heads on his horns We're ten D&M's and on his heads were blasphemous names And the beast which I saw was like a leopard and his feet were like those of a bear Now so we hear this imaging this imagery like when you hear this word that's like as or homeo or Hosts you'll see these words that are trying to convey Words that he really can't try it's almost like trying to explain a headache to somebody who's never had a headache Trying to explain water to someone who's never been in water or was ever been wet It's difficult and so you've got all you have at your disposal like John are words and the problem is the words Don't suffice. That's the problem. So he's doing his best. I think it does a good job because we still get the picture. Remember if Thus far we have hailed to The scriptures as literally as we possibly can until the times they can't we'll come up with The answer to what he's pointing to because obviously this writing is Not there this writing is not there to confuse us The book of Revelation is not a book that you know what it's too difficult. Let me just leave it alone No, it's written for a particular reason now. I Think that every party all parties can glean something out of this I take it remember I hold to the fact that the church is not going to be around during this tribulation We're gonna look at that as well But even still does this does this book holds and benefit to us sure it does what about to the Jews? Who I think this is going to be Magnified intensified to I think definitely what about those who are not believers them as well Because I think when this happens a lot of people are going to be able to go to the scriptures And look those scriptures are still gonna be preserved We're gonna have the Bibles at that time and many people will look back and Realize why this has happened and what has happened in the past remember The Bible tells us in Isaiah 53 that they are these Jews are gonna look back The Jews are going to look back, which is why Isaiah 53 uses these these terms in past tense These verbs of past tense That he was bruised so they look back and say oh so by his stripes We are healed he bore our iniquities same thing in Zechariah, so we'll see this these words These verbs in the past tense. Well, this is gonna become a point in time when the Jews are gonna look back and say oh So keep in mind now we've covered that before so we won't spend a lot of time going over that because we'll be here for another three Hours and I don't want to do that so Continuing and the beast which I saw was like a leopard he wasn't a leopard He was like a leopard and his feet were like those of a bear and his mouth like the mouth of a lion That mean that he had big furry hooves or for I guess bears don't have hooves Whatever bears feet look like no it's not like that that he had spots on like a leopard that he had a mouth Like a lion with the big giant teeth No in in terms of how he walked in terms of how he kind of He and himself I would think there are some their meanings to these even though they're not totally clear at sometimes dead mean There are no meanings anyways. Let's continue and The dragon gave him power and his throne and great authority. Let's stop there for a second The dragon obviously this is this is the devil Gave him power and his throne great authority. How in the world can the devil give anyone power unless? He has power to give he does Unless he has power to give which in this case he does and so I Think we might want to pull back also today when we're trying to act as though we have a we have power and authority over the devil We don't there's nowhere in scripts where the Bible gives us Authority over the Bible except to resist him. We don't have the power to bind him We don't have the power to rebuke him none of those things work if it did if we could we would have done it We don't have the kind of power obviously Even though all these things are taking place Ultimately who's in control God so whatever power the devil has It's only given to him granted and controlled by God and at the end of this God is going to show his power in dealing with the devil Amen, so continuing I would love and and the dragon gave him power that is this beast and his throne had and great authority I'm sorry. I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain and his fatal wound was healed The Bible doesn't tell us what this fatal wound was other than the fact that there was a fatal wound So however it happened this wound this fatal wound was healed and people know about it and they Honor him they worship him there and more and all of him even more so because of this And I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain and his fatal wound was healed and the whole world I'm the hurt whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast They worship the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast and they worship the beast saying who is like the beast and Who is able to wage war with him so in other words? He's showing something that people are just in awe Well, I think if a person had a fatal wound and it was shown that and the person survived or rose from that Again, he is going to show some signs. We're gonna go back to the scriptures We're gonna see what the scripture even tells us that he is going to come and he's going to show some great signs and wonders So this shouldn't come as a surprise now when it happens It's gonna be a surprise when we go back and compare it to the text. We'll see that you know what? It was always told of that verse 5 there was given him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies Doubtful that they will sound like blasphemies and arrogant words at the time because now more and more We are liking a brashness. We like arrogant words. We like people saying Foul mouth things as though that's that makes a quality of a great leader. It does not I don't care It's on the left or the right of whomever Name calling and immaturity is never is never the preferred way, but that's the way the world is going So we are liking that more and more Verse 6 and he opened his mouth and blasphemies against God to blaspheme his name Obviously won't be a Christian and it's tabernacle that is those who dwell in heaven It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. This part guys is important This part is very important was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them and authority Over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given him all who dwell on the earth Here it is all who dwell on the earth will worship him Everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the lamb was been slain So let's stop it for a second because this is an important point as well This book of life if your name had not been written in it, then you will worship him It's gonna make it's gonna make a little bit easier than at that point in time to recognize who's a true Christian then huh? It's gonna be a little bit easier than because you will you will be worshiping this person We have seen certain political figures in the past who have risen up and People treated this person as though almost like it was a second coming and I've seen it on both sides They are both parties Especially here in America where we look at this person and we think this person is something special Where there was Barack Obama, you've got folks that way with Trump folks who even right now even DFI Ronald Reagan son with Clinton it always happens it always happens and these are just mere men. We've seen their parents We've seen their rise. We know these people are not actual believers. So that being the case You can see how it's gonna be more and more because we're taking sides now and we when we dig as people when we dig in We dig in we go hard if I go to bat for you I'm going hard for you why because I don't want to be wrong I'm gonna have an emotional investment in this as well So that being the case your pastor says the mark is a separation between Christ followers and it will be It will be you will be able to know who the true Christians are and who the true Christians are not That but the problem is or the issue is when that happens guys think about it think about it To tell somebody right now That they're not a Christian That those are fighting words Now what y'all think about this for a second to tell someone right now if I let me just pick someone out Let me just pick someone right now. Let's let's say Isaiah 53 or Morningstar or Chadwick In you if I say you are not a Christian you're not a Christian see this rock you're not a Layla You're not a Christian those are those are fighting words now I'm not saying you're gonna want to fight, but they they make you upset right now More so even back if some of you are old enough You can go back 40 years 50 years to call someone you're not a Christian back then even when they weren't The person didn't have to go to church, but it was just assumed. I'm a Christian. I'm a Christian I'm certainly a Christian and to say I'm not one. Well, that's those are fighting words go back a hundred years further 200 years That that term that title meant something more the further we go guys the less it's going to matter and So it's gonna come a point in time where if you are a Christian, yeah Well, it's almost like you're pygmy. It's almost like your camera It's almost like you're something something something strange you guys are still around You might be treated as the Amish are treated like yeah, they're they're novel Yeah, that's cute but that's what's gonna happen and so being a Christian then Taking the mark was what we do not taking a mark You're gonna look like one of these extremists one of these fundamental people right that is how you're gonna look That's why I keep saying that I think that when the when this When the rapture comes I again, I hold to a preach ablation rapture and people say it's gonna be like this secret rapture Not so secret because it won't be that many Christians to be to be around and we see this you will see Those who are not taking it Who are not taking it? So who's gonna take the who are going to be those that are gonna take this mark? Well, you're gonna see Muslims are gonna take it. You're gonna see Hindus You're gonna see Buddhist obvious atheists You're gonna see all these different people are gonna take the mark You're gonna see all these different people No, that was fine. No Lisa. It's kind of what's fine. I just saw it's coming. It's fine. Oh No caps no caps guys. No caps But you're gonna see that's gonna happen Why? Because your faith your faith is gonna be out of favor Faith is going to be out of faith. You're one of these religious nutjobs That's what you're gonna be called That's what you're gonna be called now all who dwell on the earth will worship him all who dwell on the earth except except Those who don't take the mark all who dwell on the earth will worship him everyone whose name has not been written From the foundation of the world in the book of life of the land who's been slaves now We've got to cover this part. We must we must cover this This issue about names being written now people will say some verse may say from the foundation Some verse may say before the foundation It's probably more proper to say from the foundation However, because we're saying here's the Greek term right here. Appa cut the ballet's Cosmo, which is from The Foundation of the world But can it be taken as before? It's also proper. It I think it's I think it's fine also say before the foundation whose names were written before Why do I say that? Well, it's not so much in the appa cut a ballet's Cosmo It's not because of that It's because of the word that's used for writing whose names have been written this Greek word right here is Gagrapti which is to write but it is in the perfect tense the perfect tense guys is The verb stating that it was done in the past is completed. It's a completed action from the past. Well, wait a second This is happening right now But your names have been written all those names who have been written Since or from the foundation will win Whenever it was it was before they became believers Whenever it was you could not you it's real difficult to say. Well, their names were written Prior Well, what about those who at the point in time who had not placed their faith in Christ because we're gonna say that that's what it means That that this is when their names their names are written at the moment They place their names in Christ the problem is during this time They're gonna be a lot of people who are going to place their names in Christ But you could not use the perfect tense for that are you with me? So the only logical way to take this is that these names were written before The foundation of the world, but if someone wants to say from that's fine I don't want to get into that to that issue, but we just simply go over to Ephesians 1 and then this bears this out as well But that being the case let's continue if anyone has an ear Let him hear if anyone is destined for captivity to captivity He goes if anyone kills with the sword with the sword He must be killed. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints. Oh another point He's stating remember by the way Jesus makes the same statement That enduring one to the end shall be saved. What is he talking about here same thing? Those that are gonna be enduring those are gonna be persevering. That's the ones gonna be saved But but there's going to be with covers before there is something in you That's going to cause you to be enduring because Because he states that their names have been written Prior that's why the perfect tense in that in that Greek verb is important But anyway verse 11 then I saw another beast Coming up out of the earth and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon He exercises all authority of the first beast in his presence And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it worship the first beast whose fatal wound was hill So there is that that fatal wound again That fatal wound again. We don't know what it is But it was a fatal wound, but he's alive Again, there's a reason why people are going to just think highly of this person So and he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first of the first beast first 13 He performs great signs so that he makes even fire come down out of heaven to the earth into the presence of all men For of men and he deceives those who do on the earth because of the signs Which was given him to perform in the presence of the beast Telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of this of the sword and has Come to life so apparently He must Maybe he was killed. Maybe it looked like he was killed and come to life. Not sure We're not sure but this guy was hurt pretty bad Maybe even died and came back. I Think that's gonna be if I'm an atheist and I see this it's gonna make me trust this guy a lot It's gonna make if I'm an atheist if I'm a Hindu if I'm a Buddhist It's gonna make me worship this guy now if I'm a Christian not so much Problem is I became a Christian a rough time, but became a Christian all the while Anyway, and it was given to him Breath to the image of it was giving him breath to the image of the beast So that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed So if you are not Worshipping the image of the beast you are going to be killed. So now remember this guys remember this There has to be that this image you are going to have to worship in other words There is no accidental Taking of this image Okay, let me just say this upfront Because I think it needs to be stated that whoever takes this image It's not going to be something. Well, I didn't know what this thing does. No, you are gonna take it voluntarily So guess what it can't be it's not a vaccine it's not it's not it's not the vaccine Because what also accompanies the people that have taken the mark? They're voluntary worship of this So the worship of the beast is also necessary. So there's two things people want to do take the image and worship the beast So it's not like a microchip for payment or anything like that. However, however, let me say this in terms of Vaccines and microchip payments and swiping your cars or swiping your phones or someone getting a chip implanted in their hand I'll tell you in a second why why it also cannot be a chip But USMC later Z says that the back of the precursor. Well, let me say this There are a lot of things that are precursors. In other words, a lot of things are leading up to this Here's why I say that We're gonna look in a second and find that this mark after we finish this discussion The mark is an actual image It's something that's gonna be visible Matter of fact, let's let's just let's just deal with this right now The reason why we know the mark is an actual image is because of the word issues If the word issues here is correct my that word literally means an engraving. Okay, it's a stamp You can see it. So the mark is going to be visible The mark that they're gonna take is going to be visible Okay, however the problem is You would think you would think that no one's gonna do that. No one's gonna Well, I want you guys who are old enough to just back up a little bit and let's think Right now having a tattoo is not a big deal Matter of fact having a tattoo on your head For now, I even if I were a tattoo person, I wouldn't ever get one on my head But there's some folks. Maybe you got one right here. Maybe you got one here. I don't know Maybe you got like a little, you know, something around the eyes or whatever That there's less stigma Attached to that But if you go back 30 years ago, if you go back 50 years ago, you go back 70 years or no If in the 60s of the 70s you had a tattoo people thought that maybe you sort of outlaw or some sort of criminal What have you now just everybody now? Everybody has a tattoo. So it's becoming more accepted Paying without cash. There was a time that you would only pay with cash where credit was frowned upon There was a time where credit was frowned upon Hey, man Now you won't have credit. You don't want cash. We don't pay with cash As a matter of fact, they'll tell you that you shouldn't walk around with cash And so what's going to happen is the closer we get the things that we used to not do the things that we used to not like It'll become more accepting Okay So this mark You could how easy would it have been to convince people in the 1920s to take a mark? They're not doing that. They're the people aren't getting tattoos in the 1920s But in the 2020s 2007ies, yeah won't be that difficult at all. It's just it's just a tattoo. Yeah, you know, you're right It's it's just a mark. It's just it's just a mark. Who knows no problem or It's just something you can swipe with because we don't pay with cash You know we're a cash society. So my point is as he says it's a precursor. We are becoming more and more Decent it's time for some of those things It's setting up future events Now, how is it gonna look? I don't know. Could it be something that's injected that also shows on the outside? I Have no idea. I have no idea. I do know it comes with one thing though Whatever the mark is going to be it's going to come with one thing According to the scripture. It's going to come with worship of the beast That part cannot be mistaken So let's continue First 17 and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sale Except the one who has the mark either the name of the beast or the number of his name will come back to the number in a second But at this point in time, maybe this is why you're gonna have to be churched up and Do like they did at the at the founding of the church and have everything in common So we've got a farm over here. We've got a little a little church group and we're we're planting crops and so forth So we don't have to buy or sell anything. We've got our own maybe. I don't know But there's gonna be a point in time. There's gonna be a period of time Where it's gonna be hard for you to go and buy and sell There's gonna be people that gonna be eating there are going to be people that don't take the mark But we'll still be able to eat because they're gonna live they're gonna make it through this period of time Okay, and you can't make it through this period of time without eating. So you're going to be able to eat It's just gonna be difficult You're not gonna be able to go into whole foods of Starbucks or what have you Walmart I don't know what's gonna be around there But you won't be able to go in there and buy without this and the whole world is gonna be on involved The whole world is gonna be on board. So there's gonna be this leader Who is going to leave the entire world this this whole same we say this one world government Something like that is going to happen Maybe there's not maybe there's different governments, but he isn't he's in charge. Who knows So trying to figure out the specifics. That's a difficult thing to do. We're not gonna be able to we don't have to All we've got to look out for is the worship of someone other than Jesus. It's really that simple Verse 18 here is wisdom Let him who has understanding Calculate the number of the beast for the number is that of a man and his number is 666 or 666 here is a Bit of interesting news We're not even totally sure if it is 666 Now 666 is a popular number. We all know 666 and it may very well be 666 may very well be problem is I don't know if you all know what this is right. I'm gonna put on the screen for you This right here is p1 1 5 or paparazzi 115 What this is is the oldest fragment the oldest fragment of revelation it's the oldest copy of a fragment from revelation and And Some of our best scholars have attested to us and you know it yet It's the oldest and it does say six one six and put it back on the screen If you can see where it's pointing to remember in Greek They don't have numbers that they made they do now, but then the numbers were either abbreviated by the letter or they would write the number out So for example when you see on the screen here, let me put on the screen if you put it back up If you see the 666 right here, it's it's spelled out The 666 is spelled out So it could be that way or it could be the way where you see this little arrow pointing to it It can be 6 1 6 we've got to We've got a we've got a codex and we've got a manuscript. I'm a codex. We got a codex and we've got a fragment To the oldest ones of revelation that say 6 1 6 the overwhelming majority of Manuscripts fragments paparazzi and so forth say 6 6 6 Which one is it? We are not totally sure There's we don't know Problem the good thing is it doesn't matter. It doesn't do anything have it has no bearing on Doctrine no one is teaching If you're around someone that that they're teaching is centered around 6 6 6 you might want to move around You might want to move around But again, the earliest the earliest revelation says 6 1 6 It doesn't matter. It's not a it's not a real point of contention those that are paparologist textual critics They can verify that. Yeah, the oldest one does six say 6 1 6 Have no idea which way to go it doesn't matter Preferably for me because I won't take it anyway. If it were to happen today I it doesn't matter to me would matter to me Whatever the number is it is going to yeah paparaz 115 115 It is going to sit around you worshiping the beast So forget the number. It's the worship. Amen Janice. It doesn't matter. It does not matter So I just wanted to bring it up. So Don't get too bent out of shape to whatever caught up in the number 6 6 6 It might be 6 1 6 either way. Don't fool with it There is your blessing for the day don't do it whatever the number is don't do it Don't worship anything other than the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen Now I want to go to rev you know what let me let me say there. Let's let's stay in revelation 14 I was gonna go to 149. Let's say in replacement 14 Going back to it then I look and behold the lamb was standing on Mount Zion and with him 144,000 having his name and the name of his father written on their forehead. So you see the kind of the contrast So they're not taking the mark of the beast. They're taking something else. They're taking the mark of the father And I heard a voice from heaven like the sound of many waters and Like the sound of the loud thunder and the voice which I heard was like the sound of harpers playing on their harps And they sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders and no one could learn the song except The 144,000 who had been purchased from the earth These are the ones who have not been defiled with women for they have kept themselves chased These are the ones who follow the lamb wherever he goes These have been purchased from among men as first fruits to God and to the lamb and no libel is found in their mouth They are blameless. So these are Now we know who these are these are these are of the of the 12 tribes 12,000 from each one of the 12 tribes 12,000 from 12 different tribes. There is Dan that's missing also of this tribe. Why is why is the tribe of Dan not found? I don't know Couldn't tell you couldn't begin and tell you as a matter of fact Scholars are kind of puzzled by this But he does go and he does actually name the names of the tribes and so It's not really a big concern But just want to know that that there's a contrast between those who will take his mark versus those that take the mark of the beast But then in 149 Then another angel a third one followed them saying with a loud voice If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives a mark on his forehead or his hand He will also drink of the wine of the wrath of god Which is mixed in full strength in the cup of his anger and he will be tormented with fire So Let's just deal with this if you take the mark You are also going to be one that's going to worship. There is no Taking the mark and not worshiping the beast They they go hand in hand and if you do so you are going to die. There is no second chance You are if you take the mark of the beast You're going to hell Because we read that those who take the mark of the beast are not those whose names have been written Remember it's a perfect tense. So they the names were written in the past It's a completed action and this in this case has has ongoing ramifications So If you take the mark You are not going to there is there's not going to be you getting a second chance Spread the rumor spread the word not the room spread the word Tell your friends tell your kids Tell them to make sure that they tell their grandkids Why am I saying that because there's going to be a lot of people it's going to be called off guard I can see now If it were to happen today There's a lot of people who might think that they're a christian who would go ahead and go along with it It doesn't make it that that doesn't make any sense. It's okay. I don't see why what's the harm Well If you think you can see someone falling for it now How much easier would it be for someone to fall for it then whenever this happens? We are not as Biblically astute the further we go The time will come when they will not endure sound doctor but have itching ears And certainly they're going to have itching bellies someone tells them that hey, you give you take this you can eat You can buy things if not You're going to be hungry Okay, and not only that Not only are you not going to be able to eat, but you're going to be persecuted We're going to deal with that part as well. You are going to be persecuted You're going to have to deal with a lot. Matter of fact, you're going to be killed a lot A lot of people are going to be killed over this as well So it's not just no you can't eat but no we don't like you. Let's kill him A lot of that is going to happen. Now. Let me make this point and make this point clear We talked about this before this isn't revelation The prophecies that we see in revelation a lot of these have some more detail But we've been told about these prophecies Prior to revelation matter of fact prior to the new test we've covered this before now Before I go back to the old testament. I want to cover passages about this antichrist Because we're talked that we were told about the antichrist as well in second Thessalonians chapter two So let's go there Verse seven for the mystery of the lawless of lawlessness is already at work only he who now restrains Will do so until he is taken out of the way Then the lawless one will be revealed Whom the lord will slay with the breath of his mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of his coming So he's speaking of the antichrist the antichrist will be slain when the lord shows up Okay, we're going to read that just a little bit revelation 19 and revelation 20 We're going to see that the lawless one is going to be or the antichrist is going to be killed but notice what it says the lawless one cannot be revealed until That which is restraining Is taken away he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way Who do you all think is the one that's restraining? Who is this restrainer? There's two theories that work And truth be told both theories are the same One it is either the holy spirit Or it is the church Six and one hand half dozen any other why because the church the believers have the holy spirit The holy spirit is not just walking around just ignoring us If you are saved the holy spirit also is in you And so this mister the lawless one will now he's at work. He already says he's already at work The lawless one, but guess what thanks be to god the holy spirit also is as well in us and so when The one who's restrains when he will wouldn't be taken away Then the lawless one will be revealed. That's another reason why I do believe the church will not be here at this time When is this time this time that we're reading about in revelation 13 and 14 and so forth We know what this is called. We know what they're talking about We know what's happening here This is called the tribulation As a matter of fact, this latter portion of it is the great tribulation The tribulation won't be as bad the first portion of it, but the latter portion of it certainly will be And this is when it's going to become a big problem that we we've been told about this prior When we told about this well, let's go to Daniel chapter nine In Daniel in Daniel nine In Daniel nine by the way guys do your do your best to govern yourselves accordingly in the chats. Okay in Daniel nine Let's start in verse 24. Shall we why not? Seventy weeks have been have been decreed for your people and your holy city To finish the transgression to make an end of sin to make atonement for iniquity to bring in everlasting righteousness to seal up vision I'm sorry to make an end of sin to make atonement for iniquity to bring in everlasting Righteousness to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place Now I want you to think about this what's happened. He says seventy sevens have been prophesied We've covered this before we won't spend too much time in but why have seventy sevens been prophesied And who have the seventy sevens been prophesied to well Daniel is praying about his people About the Jews remember God has stated that he is going to deal with these Jews They've had time after time after time after time to get right. However, when they go into the land What does God tell matter of fact before they go to the land God tells them that I'm going to take you out of the land Why because you're going to disobey me you're going to disobey me, but don't worry about it I'm going to bring Israel back into the land And then after I bring them back into the land. I'm going to do something with their heart This has not happened yet guys. They have been brought back into the land But as specifically as we read Zechariah, Israel is turning their back on her Messiah This is what Paul brings up in Romans 9 to 11 as well. Israel has turned their back on her Messiah, which is fine In terms of the grand scheme of thing. Why is that a good thing? Why is that fine because God tells us and I think it was extra deuteronomy Where he says that you have made me jealous By serving guys are not a god Because of that I'm going to make you jealous. How so? By bringing in a people who are not a people I am going to I am going to I'll instead of second jail I am going to make you jealous With another people where who are who are these other people? us you guys Jeff Brian Janice Lisa Sierra you guys you guys are the people that are going to cause Israel to be jealous so again the Gentile believers TT you too The Gentile believers We are not a parenthesis. We're not an afterthought. We are part of the main show the reason why you don't see The reason why you don't see that's a good question morning star I'll answer just a second The reason why you don't see yourselves in the Old Testament is because God is using them the Jews as an example Those are written so that we can learn of them as according to Romans in 15 says I don't get why the Jews hate Jesus. It's so strange Well, because God says that he is going or Paul tells that he's going to put a stoop a spiritual stupor over them He's going to give a partial hardening to their heart So this is what God is doing part of their hatred Has also been intensified by God He has determined that he's going to do so why because he's going to make them jealous the people that he chose You can walk with me now never mind Jesus. We'll find I got some other people who are going to love me just as much As a matter of fact even more so we're going to love him because we weren't even Considered to be his people We have no actual claim to him But he has a claim to us he has chosen us and that's how how much he loves us would cause us to love him more It would cause us to love and it should cause you to love him more And so part of the reason for their intense dislike of Jesus because there's not The only two groups on the planet that that have a dislike for jesus at that level jews and muslims Jews and muslim i mean you'll find atheists that like him better than jews And we're talking about a jewish messiah So that's part of the reason but he said he's going to make Those people jealous by using us to make them jealous. No, by the way, we'll also be used as Ministers to them in this new covenant So he's also going to use us not only to make them jealous but also to serve them and ultimately usher them in and bring them in as well So that being the case notice what he says in these 70 weeks in these 70 weeks He says that these are the things are going to happen and they are 77s. Why are they? Why are they 70? Why are there 77s? Well, because one of the things that israel did was to violate The seven I'm sorry the 70 year Sabbath every seven year the land was to have a Sabbath The jews violated that how many times did the jews violate that seven? 70 times 70 times they violated the Sabbaths And so what does god do one puts them out of the land for 70 years? And as they're on their way back in daniel has a prayer Daniel has a prayer the prayers answered and he says concerning your people israel 77s have been decreed why 77 because the seven that's how many times you disobeyed my sevens But instead of 70 actual weeks it's going to be 70 actual year 70 actual seven year periods So instead of seven day period it's going to be a seven year period So the first 69 weeks Happens after the 69 weeks what ends up what ends up happening After the 69 weeks Then after not during but after messiah's cut off The temple is destroyed But we're still waiting on that last seven We're still waiting on that last seven and what is going to happen in the last seven. Let's continue reading So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild drusel until the messiah The prince there will be seven weeks and 62 weeks. That's 69 weeks if you're counting It will be built again with plaza and most even in the times of distress Then and in the Hebrew the way that's written in Hebrew. This is why I carry which is why I could then afterwards The 62 weeks The messiah will be cut off And nothing I mean the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city This is the sacking of drusel and the temple Uh, and its end will come with flood even to the end. There will be war and desolations are determined Look at verse 27 And he will make a firm covenant With the many for one week How long is a week a week is seven seven years. So in the seven year period of time, there is going to be this um This covenant Who makes this covenant this lawless one this antichrist? He is going to make this covenant Everybody's cool with it including israel israel is fine with the covenant. Everyone loves the antichrist. However, he's antichrist You would think so but the problem is the antichrist is not going to be walking around with a shirt that says hey guys I'm the antichrist. Nope. He's not gonna do that. He's not gonna have a bumper sticker That says i'm sorry wrong one He's not gonna have a bumper sticker that says the i'm the antichrist And so jail says do I think that the antichrist is alive now? He might be He might be the antichrist may very well be alive today. We don't know he might be he might be a two-year-old He might be 40 years old He might be running for president in the next few years. He might we don't know we have no idea I hope he's not alive yet. I really do my prayer is he's not alive Because I just don't want to see all this I the problem is at some point in time either my kids or my grandkids or my great-grandkids Somebody that I love is going to see this How close is the rapture? I think that we are I have no idea. We're getting closer I think we're getting closer I think let obviously less and less people profess the name of christ Less and less people. What is it down to 69 percent? That's still a lot Who profess the name now obviously all 69 percent are not christian I asked this question before If you could take out baby hitler He's a he's a baby. He's an infant or he's two years old. He's three years old knowing what he's going to do How many folks are going to take him out feel like I don't know. That's a little baby. I don't I would he's still a baby He's got a shot at life. No, you know, you know what he's going to do But then you have someone that's been the military if a child has an IED They have a if they have a bomb on them and they're coming towards your soldiers. What are you going to take him out? What what would you do with the baby antichrist if he's two years old? Baby antichrist you got to go but again, he will not be revealed And that's the key the baby antichrist whenever he's alive You won't know he's the antichrist as a matter of fact. He's probably a straight a student He's probably a good guy loves his mother and so forth helping little ladies cross the street. He's probably a wonderful person Probably a wonderful person Do I think Ronnie says you do I think the jab is part of the thesis? No I think that those sort of things will get us closer. It will dull us dull our senses It would make it easier for us to succumb in the future. It's like just like tattoos or or um Cashless society and so forth. I think those get us closer But no because remember You'll know full well what you're doing and why you're doing it You are doing it for two reasons because one you're worshiping the beast Remember that is that is integral to this to this whole discussion You will be worshiping the beast to You're also doing it in order to buy stuff to live in a society Okay, so Now if it gets to where that it's going to be some sort of injection Associated with it and it's this because also it's going to be visible the Greek word is correctly, which means it's a it's actual visible Marking engraving so we'll see it now. Is there a way that you can inject it Through some sort of vaccine and then it'll show. I don't know who knows what technology will do in the next 10 20 30 years Okay, but those are the things we need to look out for okay now going back to this Antichrist what is he gonna do? He'll make a firm covenant with the mini for one week How long is one week guys seven years seven years? But look what he says and this is the part that connects this This part connects this To revelation remember you guys need to understand this most predictive prophecy Most prophecy is not in revelation. We think that revelation is the book of and it is a lot of prophecy and revelation But there's more prophecy outside of revelation than inside of revelation Daniel gives a good portion that ties into revelation. He says but in the middle of the week He will put a put a stop to sacrifice Which means there's going to be a temple And grain offering on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate even until a complete destruction One that is decreed is poured out on the one who makes desolate. He's going to be killed But he's going to cause a ruckus as a matter of fact if we go to daniel 12 Look what's there in daniel 12? But as for you daniel Conceal these words up. I'm sorry conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time Many will go back and forth and knowledge will increase. Here it is Then I daniel Looked and I behold two others were standing one on the on this bank Of the river and the other on the bank of the river And one said to the man dressed in linen who was above the waters How long would it be until the end of these wonders? I heard the man dressed in linen who was above the waters of the river Listen what he says guys As he raised his right hand and is left towards heaven and swore by him who lives forever that it would be for a time Times and half a time a time Times and half of times guys. That's three and a half years The middle of the week important Uh and as soon as they finish shattering the power of the holy people. That's the jews All these events will be completed as for me. I I heard but I could not understand So I said my lord, what will be the outcome of these events? He said go your way daniel for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time Many will be purged purified and refined But the wicked will act wickedly and none of the wicked will none of the wicked will understand Look what he says, but those who have insight will understand You're not going to understand all this stuff, but at that time they will understand From the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation is set up There will be 1290 days How blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains it to the 1335 days? You all know how long that is Does anybody have any idea how long this is? This is three and a half years I do believe we read this before guys matter of fact Before I get there. Let's go ahead and read something else about this antichrist In revelation not revelation second Corinthians. I mean second Thessalonians 2 verse 9 And this is the one who's coming is in accord with the activity of satan with all power and signs and false wonders So that he's also going to come with these signs and wonders according to second Thessalonians with the power from satan This is going to be three and a half years according to revelation according to Daniels matter of fact we go back to Daniel. I'm sorry not back Daniel, but revelation Let's put this in hold on one second Uh-oh, I won't pull this up. I'm gonna show this passage to you. I don't want you guys to miss this particular passage Okay, let's go to revelation the 13 thought we read it, but we didn't cover that much revelation 13 by okay I want you all to see how long this is going to be There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies and authorities to act How long do y'all see on the screen how long he's going to act this way? for 42 months So now put this together 42 months 42 months How many days? 1292 days 42 months three and a half years So you all understand how how what's being stated in Daniel What's being stated in festus secondes onus as well as other passages? Come to a head in revelation this three and a half year period of the last Sevens is going to now a lot of folks won't get it A lot of folks will dismiss it a lot of folks now guys y'all forgive me You all forgive me But the post my post trip friends who I love you dearly This is going to nullify this post tribulation be post tribulation of view It's going to get bad these last sevens and guys This could not have been in 70 ad first of all It's not it's not a seven-year period happening or a three and a half year period that we're speaking of in 70 ad This is a seven-year period of time where the first three and a half years are marked with peace A covenant made with everyone including israel in the middle He's going to turn his back on israel And the last three and a half years are going to why because there cannot be any religion There cannot be any worship of anything else but But him Well, why does that make sense? Why does that make sense? Well, you would think that the muslims the muslims would fight back Hindus would fight back Buddhists would fight back, but if you were in a muslim majority country By the way, most muslims are muslim because of fear you have to be if you're in a muslim majority country A buddhist majority or really not in buddhist, but hindu majority country Where it is dangerous to not be those people once they get to a western country like america Vestiges and images of them being muslim or hindu goes by the wayside They're not as muslim or as hindu later on so at this point in time Then they're going to have a problem worshiping satan because they're not worshiping god anyway It's going to be those who have intention and an eye turn to the god That's going to be the problem that represents those jews whose hearts are going to be turned Those gentiles whose hearts are going to be turned because it won't it won't even though this is to affect israel There are still going to be gentiles that are going to come to christ at this point in time Okay, so As bad as it's going to be As bad as it's going to be It's going it's going to get better It's going to get gooder It's going to get okay Because whatever However, this shakes out However, this works out However bad it's going to be now again No one can tell us what the mark is going to look like No one can tell us what the beast Is going to look like the words is going to know no one knows Now daniel just told us or what daniel was just told Because daniel him now daniel was giving the prophecy daniel was literally giving the prophecy Or the i'm sorry the prophecy is given to daniel and then daniel was recording and reporting it to us He has no idea And the annual says don't worry about it When it happens, they'll know You may not totally get it All you need to know is just prophesy this when it happens to whom it happens to To those who have been their hearts have been changed the the select that god still has on reserve They'll know it others will see it When it's happening and you have the word of god This is why the word of god is so important so paramount when it is happening. You'll look back. Wow. Remember guys. Remember I would be remiss not putting this up. Let's go to isaac 53. Let's go to isaac 53 remember This isn't happening just because this tribulation This mark No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I advertised it will be an actual market will be visible. Why do we know because again the word the word of the shoes there Means it's an actual visible mark. It's an engraving. It's a marking. It's a stamp. So it will be But again, if you're a believer You don't have to worry about it. You won't take it If you do take it Guess what you're not by the way, we had the discussion about those people Who we say Were christians and walked away And we said they were never christians to begin with because had they been of us They never would have left But it was made manifest it was made evident that they weren't because they left In that day, you're gonna have folks say, yeah, I'm a christian. I'm a christian But you took the mark So it was made manifest that you were never a christian to begin with. How do we know because according to revelation Your name was never written in the book Only those whose name were written in the book past Will be those who won't take the mark Now A lot will suffer a lot will die a lot will be beheaded Okay Some a lot are gonna survive now But it's kind of interesting how that debate might show up again at that point in time But I want to go to isaac 53 Notice what he says Who has believed our message who has believed our report? Where is this passage found again? This passage is also reiterated This passage is also reiterated in romans Who reiterates it in romans what paul since he wrote it who was paul talking to He says I don't care if I'm beheaded because I get a new one in heaven. Amen, but I'll I'll be honest I'm not gonna sign up for that one though That class I'm not gonna sign up for But it's a quick death, I guess Rather not though Rather not rather not but the good news is if it happens I listen I'll die with a ball head. Amen. Amen But this statement here that's that's here in isaac You're gonna notice that if you go to romans, especially 9 10 11 paul is talking about israel not placing their faith in christ paul quotes a lot of isaac He quotes a lot and matter of fact in 10 when we talk about someone placing their faith in christ That if you confess with your mouth and believe your heart that guys read from dead, well, guess what he's talking about He's talking about isaac He's talking about isaac And in isaac isaac makes this statement 53 who has believed our report or our message that passage in Romans 10 17 faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of god and we'll say that hey That means you got to keep hearing it and keep hearing it and keep hearing it and keep hearing it. Thank you mom Thank you for super chat. I appreciate that That's not what that passage says Let me stop there for a second. Let's go to it really quickly Let's go to romans 10 17 We're like wait a second cori. What do you mean? That's not what that means. That's not what that means Because when I talk about the verb hearing we're talking about the noun hearing. So then faith comes from hearing I'm sorry. Let's go back a little further Let's go to verse 16 However, they did not all heed the good news for isaac remember paul is quoting isaac They did not hear the good news for isaac says lord who has believed our report Where's he what is he quoting? He's he's quoting isaac 53 The word for report Is the word a co-aid the word a co-aid Is not a verb. It's a noun report is like the tenets what we believe So as a christian, what do we believe we believe this this this this this That's what isaac say. That's what paul's saying. Who has believed our report? And so he says well, they can't hear the report unless someone brings them this word Who's going to bring them the word? Well, some jews are going to bring them the word but also Gentiles who is spreading the gospel on the planet gentiles jews aren't spreading the gospel on this planet Gentiles are who is going to bring them the word gentiles even Even guys the gentiles who are not saved jesus lets us know that there are gentiles who are going to be able to do some things But have no relationship with christ. How do I know because matthew 7 he says Many will say to me in that day lord lord have we not done all these wonderful things we prophesied in your name Cast out demons in your names all these things. And what does Jesus say? I never knew that I used to know you But I never knew you so it's possible to do the work of the lord Without having any sort of relationship with the lord And so in in in romans, paul is bothered that these jews are not coming israel's not coming to christ Israel's not coming to christ And he says wait a second though. Well, well, then how will they call upon him if they haven't heard of him? Well, we're gonna tell him Now and to the end. This is why the end time stuff is important. This is why eschatology is A salvation issue not that you'll lose your salvation. You can't be saved. You don't get this. No But it's a salvation issue because israel has to hear this report. How are they gonna hear it? Gentiles are gonna tell them So Starting verse 14. How should they call how will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in whom they have not heard and how will they hear without a preacher? Well, what was he saying earlier? Matter of fact, let's go back a little earlier Uh, I don't because if I if I read too much then Well It's the bible we've got time to read more of the bible don't we? Romans 10 1 brethren My harsh desire and my prayer to god for them is for their salvation Who israel for their salvation? He's already told us that he's speaking about israel in chapter 9 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for god But not according to knowledge For not knowing about god's righteousness and there's a problem for not knowing about god's righteousness and seeking to establish their own They did not subject themselves to the righteousness of god. They were trying to gain righteousness by doing what works Matter of fact, even when us gentiles got saved in galatians What do these jews do? Oh, you got to come and place your faith in in christ But only after you become a jew get circumcised and hear to the law Then what wait a second that's going backwards. That's driving with the brakes on Don't do that. So paul is paul is bothered paul like man. I can't This is the only time Where it's actually okay to be kind of racial With with our faith It's the only time I'm not after black folks come to christ. I'm not after white folks come to christ I'm not after asian and spanish. No, I'm after people come to christ in general But here's a time where paul's like man don't go on it And I do believe paul said don't go on it. I'm pretty sure Two things we know about paul one he was bald because the bible tells us he shaved his head So that's as a plus on paul's side. You know, you know, listen A godly man Tends to want to shave his head Y'all know that right you you all are with that doesn't mean that if you if you're a man and you have hair That you're not godly It just means you're not as godly It also doesn't mean that if you don't have hair if you're bald that you're godly. No So you got to use some discernment dog on it I'm sorry. I can't resist. I can't resist plus we know paul said dog on it It's just it's just what does bald head folks do we say dog. We don't cuss. We say dog on it So paul is saying dog on it These jews isra my people they're not coming to christ. How in the world is that possible? you know, that's like That would be like a black man running for president and nobody black votes for him A jew died for us Some jews have come in my paul's identity. Hey, i'm a jew But the rest of us are not what's what's the problem? So paul is bothered. So paul is writing this story out Yeah, uh samson when samson samson got right when he shaved his head And before the stomach can start growing back he would have hit and and took out all the enemy Praise god I'm convinced. Abraham was probably bald. The bible doesn't say The bible doesn't say i'm i'm convinced he was probably bald The bible doesn't say that adam had hair he probably bald Probably bald The john after pretty sure john probably had here didn't have any hair. He was probably bald Hey, man, hey, man, but paul is bothered by israel not coming to christ He says for christ is the end of the law. Well, why would you say that because these jews are still wanting to adhere to the law? Christ is the end of the law For righteousness to everyone who believes now remember god wants the israel in the fold So they're gonna have to believe he's gonna cause them to believe But look what he says for mosas rites that a man who practices righteousness Which is based on the law shall live by that right in other words. He ain't gonna live But the righteousness based on faith speaks as follows. I won't read that. I want to drop down a little bit to verse um Let's go to verse 11 For the scripture says whoever believes in him will not be disappointed For there is no distinction between jew and greek for the for the same lord is lord of all A bounty enriches for all who call upon him for whoever will call on the name of the lord will be saved So this issue about them Coming to salvation Is only going to result like it did with us with them believing having faith now Look what he says verse 14 and how will they call on him that they have not believed How will they believe in him whom they have not heard and how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sinned? Just as it is written how beautiful How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good titans? What is paul quoting? Would you all care to guess what book paul is quoting? Look below my picture? And you see it says isaia 52 7 paul is in isaia He's concerned about israel. We're gonna go to isaia in just a little bit However, they did not all heed the good news for isaia says Lord who has believed our report what good news that paul that isaia is talking about we're gonna go there and look and see Who has believed our report and the word report is not a noun It's I mean not a verb. It's a noun. It's to look up to the right side guys. It's this word. I co-aid It's the report who has believed our report these words who has believed them So faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of christ It's not the verb hearing It's not a coup a or coup o it is it is this word. I call aid which is a report Faith comes not by the constant hearing and hearing hearing faith comes by the report The gospel there is something powerful. Let me stop here for a second There is something powerful about the gospel. There's some power that emanates from the gospel from the preach word There's something powerful about that that just gives charge in you That's why paul makes a statement earlier. He says i'm not ashamed of the gospel is the power And so this is kind of what he's getting on so he says verse 18 But I say surely they have never heard have they indeed they have they have heard the word of god The jews have heard the word of god their voice has gone out into all the earth and their words to the ends of the world But I say surely israel did not know did they first moses says i will make you jealous Here it is guys. I will make you jealous by that which is not a nation. That's us By a nation without understanding Well, I anger you he's speaking. He will make israel jealous of us. They do not like us gentiles They just don't and isa is very bold and says I was found by those who did not seek me. That's us I became manifest to those who did not ask for me, but as for israel all day all that day long I have stretched my hands out to a disobedient and obstinate people now. He's not through with them Because he says he's giving them a spirit of stupor And then a partial hardening is coming over them until when until the fullness of the gentiles has come So when god is through dealing with the gentiles Then he's going to deal with the jews That's that seven year period of time The last three and a half is where this tribulation kicks up and this mark It is going to be required for anyone in society to live before we go back to revelation Let's go to let's go back to uh to Not daniel isaac word up with isaac. There it is Isaac 53 because what did isaac say? What are the what are the jews going to say those jews who do not take the mark? What are they going to say we'll go to the end Whoever has believed our message who has believed our message Notice we're going to see a lot of past tense verb believe And who has the arm of the lord been revealed? For he grew up before him like a tender shoot like a root out of the park's ground He has no stately form or majesty that we should look upon him nor appearance that we should be attracted to him Here it is for he was despised This is what the jews are going to this is what israel is going to say At the time of this tribulation When they don't take the mark this is what they're going to say He was looking back to jesus. He was despised And forsaken past tense of men A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief And like one from the men hide from the men who behind their face He was despised past tense and we did not esteem. We didn't we didn't accept him We did at the time that it happened. We as jews. We did not esteem him Surely our grief he himself bore past tense And our sorrows he carried we ourselves esteemed him esteemed him strict stricken Spent of god and afflicted, but he was pierced through for our Past tense he was pierced through for our transgressions past tense He was crushed for our iniquities the chastising or chastening for our well-being fail past tense upon him And by his scourging we are healed now. I'll stop there. I don't want to just stick it azea But I want you to see this is what they're going to say When are they going to say this? Revelation let's go to revelation 19. Let's start let's start in 20 at the very end You know, let's start 19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to make war Against him who sat on the horse and against his army. Remember The prophecy from old before we even get here is that daniel says that he's going to make war He paul tells us that he's going to have the ability to make war the power given to him by satan And only because satan has power given to him by god God allows it to happen. But god knows what he's doing He is going to have the ability to make war and he's going to make war. Look what he says Uh, and I saw the beast and the king of the earth and their armies assembled to make war against him Who sat on the horse and against his army bad as jesus Bad as jesus and the beast was seized It's not gonna be a pretty listen. This is not gonna be a close fight This is good This is gonna be one of those battles that israel's used to where they sit back and watch god do all the work And the beast was seized and with him the false prophet who performed the signs In his presence by which he deceived was deceived those who had received the mark of the beast And those who worshiped the image of that beast These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burned. So so the beast both beasts The antichrist and the false prophet Grabbed tossed into the lake of fire And the rest were killed with the sword and came that came from the mouth of him Who sat on this on the horse and all the birds were filled with their flesh So birds are eating the flesh of all these dead folks who Took the mark of the beast Now we've discovered the mark is visible The mark is something it's not something that we don't see The word literally means correct when it literally refers to a visible marking. It's a stamping. It's an engraving How's it gonna look don't know Is it gonna literally say six six six or six one six or something else? We do not know There's no way to know But what we do know That's going to accompany this mark is they will worship that beast rather than worshiping god And because of that their names will not have been written in the book of life Matter of fact their names would have been have been written in the book of prior to them And so that will be the way that we will identify those who take the mark You're not going to just haphazardly take it without any forethought because you'll do so out of your worship adoration for Um the antichrist for the beast ultimately forsaken Look what happens Chapter 20 verse 1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven holding the keys of the beast and a great chain in his hand And he laid hold of the dragon the serpent of old who was the devil and satan So not only are the two beasts gone now satan is grabbed and tossed into the abyss And then we began Then we began this thousand year reign At this point in time this thousand year reign begins to take place So who lives during this thousand year reign and we've covered this before those who have made it through the tribulation Because I do have a pre-tribulation view a pre rapture pre tribulation view Those who are raptured also So we're going to have folks there with I won't I won't get too much into it But all of these folks are going to live for 1 000 years at the end of 1 000 years Then this dragon satan will be released to make war And god will make quick work of this of this dragon then And that will be that and the very last enemy of god The very last enemy Will be defeated What's the very last enemy well according to isiah We already know that there's going to be death during this thousand year period of time During this thousand year reign there will be death. However He says that if you if you live less than 100 You will you'll be considered unfortunate You'll be looked down upon if you live He must have been in sin So that's going to happen during a thousand year reign But at the very end This great war which won't be much for war at all The very last enemy will be put to death. Who's the last enemy death? According to genesis 3 and this all go think about how far back this goes Genesis 3 15 What was the prophecy? What did god say? That he's going to cause The seat of a woman Which paul tells us is jesus in genesis 3 16 is jesus and he will crush you will bruise the head of the serpent Death will be gone no more death And will live forever Could you could you imagine peace throughout the whole world? Hard to imagine it now I it's hard to imagine peace on the block please Peace in the city you it's hard to go go in a store and imagine peace Go in a store to imagine peace. It's kind of difficult right now. Uh, isn't BJ Isn't christ coming back after the tribulation Yes Yep after that after that last three and a half years Where he is going to deal with his people israel Michael let me thank you for the super chat. I appreciate that Tony thank you so much as well with super chat. I appreciate that guys jeff says do you have a response to If i'll be a particular if it'll be a particular nation Or as uh, what do you mean? When you say a particular nation jeff, what do you mean? You mean as far as israel? Or what do you mean? You said do you have a response? Uh, if it will be a particular nation or Uh As it is across the world it will be a world. What do you mean? Yep, i understand. Oh, so i can answer that real quick If you're talking about who god is coming after to save is he's going to he's going to save israel Let me just say this one. He is going to save israel Not all jews Are going to be saved though. He is according to paul He has a remnant of israel that he's saving That remnant out of israel that he's saving that's who he calls the true israel But he's also going to save some gentiles as well So they're going to be gentiles. They're going to be saved But the focus is going to be israel those who are righteous as we've already discovered up thus far even the bible studies We do not see god judging the righteous with the unrighteous Those who are already saved will not be judged with the unrighteous But he's going to bring this upon unrighteous israel to save them Why because he stated before that he has a promise that he's going to keep with that he made with abraham Isaac and jakel uh, i saw what was that question i just saw a question somebody somebody has um Stole a monkey moves account or his name that that wasn't the real monkey moves Uh, anyway, did you see that monkey moves? I don't know if you saw that or not How do you how do you This is what's funny All of the material that's in no no care that wasn't him all of the material that's in the bible You could spend time going over that stuff instead of making a fake account. This is But again We're getting closer that time Is the one thousand year Well, it's not a thousand year tribulation But is that thousand year, uh, is that a time where those who are left behind may still be saved? During this one thousand years, there are people That will be faithful in christ and those who will not be How do I know that the one thousand people? I mean the thousand years there will be people who Um won't place their faith in christ Who some will die early according to this time, but when satan is released He's going to grab some of those people that's been living for that time and make war With the people of god it's going to be easy war Gather all the people from all the four corners of the world and then then He's going to destroy them Destroy the enemy put him in the lake of fire and death as well so I saw another question though We're not we're i'm not saying that his um This rapture, I know and I get it that everyone didn't believe in the rapture. That's fine But i'm not saying that the rapture is him coming back because when he talks about him coming back when jesus says he's cut When jesus himself says he's coming back and I did a video on When jesus said he's coming back And it's just a listing of what jesus says is going to happen One of the things that he said he's going to do when he does come back because they asked the question they asked him Uh in matthew 24 and mark and luke those four disciples What would sound if you're coming he says when he does come back one he's going to come back And he's going to set foot on this mountain Well, so the rapture couldn't be that because he didn't set foot on anything Everyone is caught up Yeah, there there are um There are a lot of people guys and this is what it is guys sometimes and don't react when you see someone Someone used a fake dyna account Uh a fake monkey moves account. There there's a lot of fake accounts out there And so, uh, the mods they have there they do have their hands full But guess what it's not a big deal You know why it's not a big deal? Because the best moderators on the planet happen to be here. They can handle it between carol and tyra and and monkey moves and vrushan and dyna uh chest champ who Daryl, um scott Lisa was that it that I think I named him. Yeah We have the best moderators on the planet, but we also have the best Family the best live stream the best chat family period. There is no bed. Listen. There is no better. No better No better whatsoever I know some people might be bothered by that, but listen tell the truth. Shame the devil Um, thank you so much for the soup chat. I appreciate you. Thank you so much. Thank you Uh, is is it during the 1 000 year reigns that every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that? No, no, that's not necessarily during the 1 000 year reign. That's If you die today Whether you're saved or not, you are going to confess his name. You're going to bow down Um, and uh in a humble fashion It would just behoove you to humble yourself before you get humiliated at that point in time But every knee is going to bow whether they die at that point in time Whether they've died already whether they're going to die in the next few hours. What have you every knee And the interesting thing about that that passage that's quoted It's also said of God. So which also lets us know that Jesus is God So Let me take a couple more questions and we'll go ahead and wrap up and leave Why do we need moderators? Well, if you look at the chats, you can see why there are times like today Uh, what was the most that was in here at one point in time when you get a maximum of uh, Where's the peak? I can't see I'm looking on this little thing right here. I can't see it But when you get a maximum of 400 500 600 people we haven't gotten 500 a day, but we got close to it You're going to need people to kind of help and people pop in and pop out and they say things. They do things Um They do all people do all sorts of things Everybody that's in a christian at a christian live stream aren't they're not all christian so That's just what it is Just thank you for super chat Jeff. Jeff says I didn't specify I meant the Uh, the beast king of the nation once oh, oh, no, that's all of Now try to try to figure out how that goes We're trying to figure out who's who's god and may god and so we we don't know We don't we don't know which nation's gonna play a part, but you know, I take it back I take it back. Yes, we do. Yes, we do. Yes, we do Jeff Every other nation other than the nation that's chosen out of israel So, yeah Because they're gonna be one really unified group. So yes Uh, let's see. Oh the dino one showed up. Yeah, that's why you have to have mods here Yeah Well, this is what's really silly Well, no, I won't say it because I was going to say something that would give something away to these to these trolls Yeah, the fate did you all ban? Yeah That that's why we have um, wait a second. Did I ban it? Okay, that's why we have uh mods That's why we have mods So Anyway, let me take one more question and we shall leave No, divante is not it's not it. Well, is it a chip? Uh If it is a chip it's going to have to be visible Because the mark will be visible The mark ladies and gentlemen, the mark will be visible The mark will be visible because that's literally what the word means and they will have to see it Can you do a commentary or a posse? I've done one. I'll do another one though If you put in the comment section truth be told, I'll do another one. I have no problem with that I consider and just push record and do one on a posse I have no idea what that is. Brian Curtis. I have no idea what that is Someone asked that before I have no idea A lot of pulpits need mods. Yeah, that's true. That's true This why it didn't fit though, Edith. You said the tribulation has happened The mark is a lack of Holy Spirit. The problem is though well then When this lawless man comes See it it's Yeah, I can't I can't really address that Um, the tribulation hadn't happened He says it's going to be like something we've never seen before and he's literally guys. This is why we went through We went through all these scriptures We went through all these scriptures from Daniel to Romans to Isaiah to 2nd Thessalonians To those in Revelation There is this cohesive story that's laid out All of it fits neatly All of it fits neatly The tribulation isn't just happening just because I think people forget this I think people forget this We don't see events happening just because so the question's got to be why Do we think the tribulation is happening? Why why is it happening? Why is God bringing about a tribulation? Just because well, he told us that he literally tells us why he's gonna do that early on As we've been studying and from the book of Genesis on our way. We've seen what God said he's going to do He's we've seen what God said he's going to do to Israel When we hear about these this tribulation Ask yourself this question every time you hear about the tribulation. Who is the audience? Who is the audience? You ever noticed that when the tribulation is spoken of Who's the audience in view? Jews Why? Because this time of Jacob's trouble that is brought up in Jeremiah 30 matters
