rehearsed, which will probably show1000:00:24.110 --> 00:00:27.010you how terrible I'm about to do.1100:00:27.650 --> 00:00:29.930This is kind of scary, but it's fun,1200:00:30.150 --> 00:00:31.810and it's real, and it's Real Life.1300:00:31.930 --> 00:00:32.930That's our whole theme, right?1400:00:33.470 --> 00:00:34.990So here we go.1500:00:35.630 --> 00:00:37.370Are we ready?1600:00:37.610 --> 00:00:37.810Yes.1700:00:37.950 --> 00:00:38.350Let's go.1800:00:41.330 --> 00:00:43.630You can get the outlines of this podcast1900:00:43.630 --> 00:00:47.410by going to Jackhibbs.com slash

make sure you leave us2300:00:55.270 --> 00:00:56.870one of those five-star ratings.2400:00:56.870 --> 00:01:00.510To us, that's like saying amen or yes.2500:01:00.830 --> 00:01:03.230Then that rating will encourage others to listen.2600:01:03.930 --> 00:01:05.990Now open your hearts to what God's word2700:01:05.990 --> 00:01:06.970has to say to you.2800:01:07.390 --> 00:01:08.890Here is Jack Hibbs.2900:01:10.230 --> 00:01:13.050Why will our bodies be raised when our3000:01:13.050 --> 00:01:15.190soul is already with the Lord?3100:01:15.470 --> 00:01:18.130Why do we need a new corpse?3200:01:18.550 --> 00:01:19.390Okay, well, guess what?3300:01:19.450 --> 00:01:20.710You're not going to get a new corpse3400:01:20.710 --> 00:01:22.470because a corpse is dead.3500:01:22.470 --> 00:01:25.030You're going to get a new living body3600:01:25.030 --> 00:01:26.810because we are Christians.3700:01:26.930 --> 00:01:30.430Meaning this, the Bible from Genesis to Revelation3800:01:30.430 --> 00:01:32.170does not teach reincarnation.3900:01:32.610 --> 00:01:34.750It doesn't teach anything else other than resurrection.4000:01:35.490 --> 00:01:37.930For the Bible to be true, you have4100:01:37.930 --> 00:01:40.650to have your resurrected glorified body, just like4200:01:40.650 --> 00:01:43.550Jesus received at the resurrection.4300:01:43.550 --> 00:01:46.530When Jesus rose from the dead 2,0004400:01:46.530 --> 00:01:47.930years ago, he had a glorified body.4500:01:48.030 --> 00:01:49.310You're going to have the exact same kind4600:01:49.310 --> 00:01:49.750of body.4700:01:50.510 --> 00:01:52.130So listen, to be absent from the body4800:01:52.130 --> 00:01:53.850is to be present with the Lord.4900:01:54.010 --> 00:01:55.670That means if I died right now, my5000:01:55.670 --> 00:01:56.730spirit would be with the Lord.5100:01:56.850 --> 00:01:58.690My body would be buried at Forest Lawn.5200:01:58.890 --> 00:02:01.410In the resurrection, my body is resurrected, John5300:02:01.410 --> 00:02:05.85014, verses 1 to 3, and 1 Thessalonians5400:02:05.850 --> 00:02:08.5904, verses 13 to 18 says, in the5500:02:08.590 --> 00:02:11.790resurrection or at the rapture, my body is5600:02:11.790 --> 00:02:14.410going to meet my spirit in the atmosphere,5700:02:14.910 --> 00:02:16.270and that's a glorified state.5800:02:16.270 --> 00:02:20.350So, new body, new body.5900:02:20.650 --> 00:02:23.610Explain the difference between the Ezekiel 38 war6000:02:23.610 --> 00:02:25.870and the war that ushers in the millennium.6100:02:27.130 --> 00:02:32.550Ezekiel 38 is a battle that is a6200:02:32.550 --> 00:02:34.330surprise attack against Israel.6300:02:35.010 --> 00:02:39.730It's spearheaded by Rosh, Meshach and Tubal.6400:02:39.890 --> 00:02:42.330That is a prince, that is an area,6500:02:42.670 --> 00:02:45.990and it's headed up by a title, a6600:02:45.990 --> 00:02:47.530political military leader.6700:02:47.850 --> 00:02:51.670He goes by GOG in the Bible, in6800:02:51.670 --> 00:02:52.610Ezekiel 38.6900:02:52.990 --> 00:02:57.790Ezekiel 38 tells us that once God destroys7000:02:57.790 --> 00:03:00.170that invading group of nations, there's like five7100:03:00.170 --> 00:03:00.470of them.7200:03:00.810 --> 00:03:02.130It's not Armageddon.7300:03:03.770 --> 00:03:08.670God will then cause Israel to see him7400:03:08.670 --> 00:03:09.750as Lord and Savior.7500:03:10.530 --> 00:03:13.150The gospel will be open to them.7600:03:13.690 --> 00:03:16.850The battle of Armageddon is something completely different.7700:03:17.010 --> 00:03:19.710That is a battle that is near the7800:03:19.710 --> 00:03:21.210end of the tribulation period.7900:03:21.370 --> 00:03:23.070Ezekiel 38 has nothing to do with the8000:03:23.070 --> 00:03:27.310tribulation period, and the Armageddon battle has to8100:03:27.310 --> 00:03:29.390do with the nations of the world, not8200:03:29.390 --> 00:03:31.590a limited group of Ezekiel 38.8300:03:31.850 --> 00:03:34.630After the rapture, will there be any hope8400:03:34.630 --> 00:03:35.490for the Gentiles?8500:03:35.590 --> 00:03:37.350I was taught we would get a second8600:03:37.350 --> 00:03:40.290chance only by being a martyr for not8700:03:40.290 --> 00:03:41.570taking the mark of the beast.8800:03:41.570 --> 00:03:43.430As I read and study the Bible, it8900:03:43.430 --> 00:03:46.150seems hope is reserved for the Jewish nation9000:03:46.150 --> 00:03:46.850only.9100:03:47.110 --> 00:03:49.270Yeah, that's a good observation, by the way.9200:03:50.530 --> 00:03:52.710The seven-year tribulation period, if you read9300:03:52.710 --> 00:03:54.930the book of Daniel, is specifically God dealing9400:03:54.930 --> 00:03:56.590with the nation of Israel and the Jewish9500:03:56.590 --> 00:04:00.050people, which makes these replacement theology buffoons look9600:04:00.050 --> 00:04:00.650really silly.9700:04:01.150 --> 00:04:04.450That said, those who know the gospel right9800:04:04.450 --> 00:04:05.850now, they know it, but they don't believe9900:04:05.850 --> 00:04:06.090it.10000:04:06.230 --> 00:04:07.370You and I have friends like that.10100:04:07.430 --> 00:04:08.070They know it.10200:04:08.110 --> 00:04:09.870They can tell us the gospel, but they10300:04:09.870 --> 00:04:10.550don't believe it.10400:04:10.550 --> 00:04:13.4702 Thessalonians 2 tells us that when the10500:04:13.470 --> 00:04:15.370rapture takes place, they will not be able10600:04:15.370 --> 00:04:18.070to believe because God will send them strong10700:04:18.070 --> 00:04:18.570delusion.10800:04:19.010 --> 00:04:21.410But there will be Gentiles of great number,10900:04:21.530 --> 00:04:23.110John tells us in the book of Revelation,11000:04:23.630 --> 00:04:26.870that are too numerous to count who get11100:04:26.870 --> 00:04:30.270saved during the tribulation period by the Jewish11200:04:30.270 --> 00:04:34.130evangelists, the 144,000 Jews that preach the11300:04:34.130 --> 00:04:34.890gospel to the world.11400:04:35.030 --> 00:04:36.130So the point is this.11500:04:36.170 --> 00:04:37.770If you've got a chance to receive the11600:04:37.770 --> 00:04:39.470gospel now and you don't, think of it11700:04:39.470 --> 00:04:39.870this way.11800:04:39.870 --> 00:04:41.530The door is going to close like it11900:04:41.530 --> 00:04:42.490did on Noah's Ark.12000:04:42.650 --> 00:04:43.410They're done.12100:04:43.590 --> 00:04:44.370There's no chance.12200:04:44.870 --> 00:04:46.910Those who, after the rapture, who have not12300:04:46.910 --> 00:04:49.690understood the gospel, they will have an opportunity12400:04:49.690 --> 00:04:51.190in great numbers.12500:04:51.350 --> 00:04:53.010If you know it, you better believe it12600:04:53.010 --> 00:04:54.810now and repent or you're in trouble.12700:04:54.950 --> 00:04:56.310I went over, but it's worth it.12800:04:56.370 --> 00:04:58.930What exactly in Bible prophecy needs to happen12900:04:58.930 --> 00:05:00.390next before Christ returns?13000:05:00.790 --> 00:05:02.630Or are we just waiting and looking up13100:05:02.630 --> 00:05:04.370for our master to come?13200:05:04.930 --> 00:05:07.350Next time, make your question more specific.13300:05:07.350 --> 00:05:09.430When we talk about the return of Christ,13400:05:09.590 --> 00:05:10.150what do you mean?13500:05:10.250 --> 00:05:11.390Do you mean the rapture or do you13600:05:11.390 --> 00:05:12.210mean the second coming?13700:05:12.630 --> 00:05:14.710The rapture precedes the second coming.13800:05:15.230 --> 00:05:17.370So number one, nothing needs to happen for13900:05:17.370 --> 00:05:18.450the rapture to take place.14000:05:18.530 --> 00:05:19.830It could happen any second.14100:05:20.030 --> 00:05:23.290Now it's called the doctrine of eminency, which14200:05:23.290 --> 00:05:25.570is the Paul said, the we statements, the14300:05:25.570 --> 00:05:27.550we statements of Paul back that up as14400:05:27.550 --> 00:05:28.850many other scriptures do.14500:05:29.130 --> 00:05:31.250The second coming of Christ can only happen14600:05:31.250 --> 00:05:33.370after the seven-year tribulation period.14700:05:34.030 --> 00:05:36.070And so, and that has a great announcements.14800:05:36.070 --> 00:05:39.570That has great precursors that have to happen14900:05:39.570 --> 00:05:41.170before the second coming takes place.15000:05:41.590 --> 00:05:43.150The rapture has no warnings.15100:05:43.670 --> 00:05:45.550The rapture has no prerequisites.15200:05:45.990 --> 00:05:48.750The rapture can happen suddenly, instantly without any15300:05:48.750 --> 00:05:49.050warning.15400:05:49.190 --> 00:05:50.290That's why we are to walk in the15500:05:50.290 --> 00:05:50.630light.15600:05:50.950 --> 00:05:52.430We are to be looking for him now,15700:05:52.610 --> 00:05:54.390even though if he comes back in the15800:05:54.390 --> 00:05:57.590next 100 minutes or 100 years, the church15900:05:57.590 --> 00:06:00.590has always been admonished to watch for the16000:06:00.590 --> 00:06:03.050imminent return of Jesus in the atmosphere.16100:06:03.270 --> 00:06:06.010Again, John 14 verses 1, 2, and 3,16200:06:06.630 --> 00:06:09.1101 Thessalonians 4, read that.16300:06:09.550 --> 00:06:10.030You'll be fine.16400:06:10.730 --> 00:06:12.790So people feel we are in the tribulation16500:06:12.790 --> 00:06:13.450right now.16600:06:13.650 --> 00:06:15.690Where can I show them we aren't?16700:06:15.890 --> 00:06:16.110Okay.16800:06:16.150 --> 00:06:17.750Well, first of all, we would know that16900:06:17.750 --> 00:06:19.090if that were true, because we live in17000:06:19.090 --> 00:06:19.550California.17100:06:20.270 --> 00:06:22.550So we're not, we are not in the17200:06:22.550 --> 00:06:27.550tribulation period that comes from a very, very17300:06:27.550 --> 00:06:31.130pathetic understanding or lack of understanding concerning the17400:06:31.130 --> 00:06:31.430Bible.17500:06:31.430 --> 00:06:35.670First of all, the tribulation period is preempted17600:06:35.670 --> 00:06:38.090by a man called the Antichrist.17700:06:38.190 --> 00:06:39.050Who's the Antichrist?17800:06:39.750 --> 00:06:40.850Where's the mark of the beast?17900:06:40.970 --> 00:06:41.750Where's 666?18000:06:42.730 --> 00:06:43.950Where's the false prophet?18100:06:44.390 --> 00:06:45.170Show me where he's at.18200:06:45.270 --> 00:06:47.390Where's the image of the beast that is18300:06:47.390 --> 00:06:51.430able to judge and destroy people who don't18400:06:51.430 --> 00:06:52.330have the mark of the beast?18500:06:53.770 --> 00:06:57.950Where is all the things that the tribulation18600:06:57.950 --> 00:06:59.730period depicts?18700:06:59.730 --> 00:07:01.530Where is it all that the Bible tells18800:07:01.530 --> 00:07:02.010you about it?18900:07:02.090 --> 00:07:02.790Of course not.19000:07:03.070 --> 00:07:05.050We are not in the tribulation period that19100:07:05.050 --> 00:07:07.570comes from a very perverted view of the19200:07:07.570 --> 00:07:11.370Bible and very, very bad Bible teaching known19300:07:11.370 --> 00:07:12.230as eschatology.19400:07:12.530 --> 00:07:14.550You are from a church that has no19500:07:14.550 --> 00:07:18.910clue of what the end time prophetic scriptures19600:07:18.910 --> 00:07:20.970speak about both Old or New Testament.19700:07:21.570 --> 00:07:23.950What's written on the plaque that you stand19800:07:23.950 --> 00:07:24.730on when preaching?19900:07:25.010 --> 00:07:26.530I know it's a random question, but me20000:07:26.530 --> 00:07:28.190and my wife have wondered for years.20100:07:28.190 --> 00:07:30.490Yeah, I'll paraphrase it really fast because it's20200:07:30.490 --> 00:07:30.850a lot.20300:07:30.950 --> 00:07:36.370It says that beneath your feet are 2420400:07:36.370 --> 00:07:36.950Bibles.20500:07:37.230 --> 00:07:40.250There's 24 Gideon Bibles buried in the foundation20600:07:40.250 --> 00:07:45.010of the pulpit down about 10 to 1220700:07:45.010 --> 00:07:45.850feet in the concrete.20800:07:46.190 --> 00:07:49.710There's a prayer shawl from Jerusalem because my20900:07:49.710 --> 00:07:50.970house shall be called the house of prayer.21000:07:51.350 --> 00:07:55.190We also put stones there from Israel because21100:07:55.190 --> 00:07:56.970Jesus said if we don't worship the very21200:07:56.970 --> 00:07:59.850stones will cry out and that plaque says21300:07:59.850 --> 00:08:01.930that and then it warns the teacher that21400:08:01.930 --> 00:08:04.470is standing there that you better have prayed21500:08:04.470 --> 00:08:08.230yourself ready to present the Word of God21600:08:08.230 --> 00:08:12.110to God's people because they are his.21700:08:12.190 --> 00:08:13.750You're to feed them the Word of God21800:08:13.750 --> 00:08:16.410and you are to then if you're ready,21900:08:16.630 --> 00:08:18.790let yourself go under the influence of the22000:08:18.790 --> 00:08:21.950Holy Spirit because you're simply there to teach22100:08:21.950 --> 00:08:22.750his people.22200:08:22.930 --> 00:08:24.810So basically don't get in the way of22300:08:24.810 --> 00:08:25.090that.22400:08:25.730 --> 00:08:28.350Whoever stands behind that pulpit on that plaque22500:08:28.350 --> 00:08:32.250is reminded that they are a conduit of22600:08:32.250 --> 00:08:32.850God's truth.22700:08:33.549 --> 00:08:36.390When the Bible speaks about the strong delusion,22800:08:36.630 --> 00:08:38.929can you please speak about when this will22900:08:38.929 --> 00:08:39.830occur and why?23000:08:40.070 --> 00:08:41.470Yeah, we just it's great.23100:08:41.610 --> 00:08:42.070That's amazing.23200:08:42.190 --> 00:08:44.530So I didn't know that second second Thessalonians23300:08:44.530 --> 00:08:48.490chapter 2 the strong delusion will come moments23400:08:48.490 --> 00:08:51.290we say moments we it will come in23500:08:51.290 --> 00:08:53.170at some point in time right after the23600:08:53.170 --> 00:08:53.550rapture.23700:08:54.090 --> 00:08:55.290It could be immediate.23800:08:55.430 --> 00:08:56.510It sounds like it's immediate.23900:08:57.310 --> 00:08:59.350Once the rapture takes place, those that were24000:08:59.350 --> 00:09:01.470fiddling around with the gospel and playing with24100:09:01.470 --> 00:09:03.110it and never coming to the knowledge of24200:09:03.110 --> 00:09:04.770Christ as Lord and Savior.24300:09:05.150 --> 00:09:06.930It sounds as though right then and there,24400:09:07.310 --> 00:09:08.190there's going to be an attitude.24500:09:08.750 --> 00:09:09.530Think about that for a moment.24600:09:09.810 --> 00:09:11.390There's going to be a thought process in24700:09:11.390 --> 00:09:14.830them that they will deny Christ completely.24800:09:14.990 --> 00:09:18.090Ultimately, God will send them strong delusion because24900:09:18.090 --> 00:09:19.490they had a chance to get in the25000:09:19.490 --> 00:09:21.610ark, so to speak, and they refused to25100:09:21.610 --> 00:09:21.990get in.25200:09:22.210 --> 00:09:23.470So the door was shut.25300:09:23.850 --> 00:09:25.790Christ took the church up and you're on25400:09:25.790 --> 00:09:28.910your own with what I believe is no25500:09:28.910 --> 00:09:30.910second chance after the rapture.25600:09:30.990 --> 00:09:32.490If you can tell me the gospel right25700:09:32.490 --> 00:09:34.630now and you don't believe it, there's no25800:09:34.630 --> 00:09:36.750second chance for you after the rapture.25900:09:38.710 --> 00:09:39.970Wow, where's the horn?26000:09:41.270 --> 00:09:43.490For years, we've been taught there are no26100:09:43.490 --> 00:09:46.270remaining prophecies that must be fulfilled before the26200:09:46.270 --> 00:09:46.750rapture.26300:09:46.750 --> 00:09:51.250But your explanation for Jeremiah 49 indicates a26400:09:51.250 --> 00:09:53.230prophecy that has not been fulfilled.26500:09:53.410 --> 00:09:55.910Does it need to be fulfilled before the26600:09:55.910 --> 00:09:56.290rapture?26700:09:56.490 --> 00:10:00.030There is literally no correlation between Jeremiah 4926800:10:00.030 --> 00:10:01.170and the rapture.26900:10:01.370 --> 00:10:02.710There's no correlation.27000:10:03.170 --> 00:10:06.470There's no correlation between most prophecies and the27100:10:06.470 --> 00:10:06.830rapture.27200:10:06.910 --> 00:10:10.210That's what I'm saying is that you might27300:10:10.210 --> 00:10:12.310be confusing the rapture with the second coming.27400:10:12.830 --> 00:10:15.790There is no prophecy that has to take27500:10:15.790 --> 00:10:16.970place before the rapture.27600:10:17.430 --> 00:10:19.190There's no precursor, no warning.27700:10:19.750 --> 00:10:22.090The second coming is a different story completely.27800:10:22.850 --> 00:10:25.650So just remember that the rapture could happen27900:10:25.650 --> 00:10:28.650today with or without war in the Middle28000:10:28.650 --> 00:10:33.030East, with or without anything.28100:10:33.330 --> 00:10:34.630The rapture could happen now.28200:10:35.710 --> 00:10:38.350So don't ever put something in front of28300:10:38.350 --> 00:10:38.890the rapture.28400:10:38.890 --> 00:10:43.130But you must put something like 350 prophecies28500:10:43.130 --> 00:10:46.410ahead of the second coming, which takes place28600:10:46.410 --> 00:10:47.910at the end of the seven-year tribulation28700:10:47.910 --> 00:10:48.390period.28800:10:49.650 --> 00:10:51.910When I hear the word chosen in the28900:10:51.910 --> 00:10:54.630Bible, I get, I can't get past the29000:10:54.630 --> 00:10:56.930fact that some were not chosen.29100:10:57.450 --> 00:10:59.630Am I just being paranoid that God knows29200:10:59.630 --> 00:11:01.670those who weren't called for his purposes?29300:11:02.250 --> 00:11:04.050You're paranoid for this reason.29400:11:04.730 --> 00:11:06.510The scripture makes it very clear in the29500:11:06.510 --> 00:11:09.970book of Ephesians that God knew us before29600:11:09.970 --> 00:11:11.350the foundations of the world.29700:11:11.490 --> 00:11:13.230The book of Romans tells us, chapter 8,29800:11:13.310 --> 00:11:19.310for example, that the Lord has, he has29900:11:19.310 --> 00:11:21.670not only saved us, but he knew before30000:11:21.670 --> 00:11:23.430the foundations of the world were ever laying30100:11:23.430 --> 00:11:26.210that he would not only choose us, he30200:11:26.210 --> 00:11:29.410would do that based upon his foreknowledge.30300:11:29.950 --> 00:11:32.950So listen, God knows that the entire world30400:11:32.950 --> 00:11:34.870at all time, those who would accept the30500:11:34.870 --> 00:11:36.730gospel and those who would not.30600:11:37.250 --> 00:11:40.070The chosen are not those chosen to accept.30700:11:40.710 --> 00:11:42.610The chosen are those who God knew in30800:11:42.610 --> 00:11:44.810eternity that when the gospel is presented to30900:11:44.810 --> 00:11:47.750the whole world, these here would say yes,31000:11:47.810 --> 00:11:48.790because that's true worship.31100:11:49.250 --> 00:11:52.210Their own choosing, they would come to Christ.31200:11:52.530 --> 00:11:54.650Those, those become the chosen.31300:11:55.110 --> 00:11:57.010He doesn't make people believe and he doesn't31400:11:57.010 --> 00:11:58.670blind people from believing.31500:11:58.670 --> 00:12:02.070He gives everyone the opportunity to believe and31600:12:02.070 --> 00:12:04.310then, and listen, in his eternal mind, in31700:12:04.310 --> 00:12:07.470his eternal existence, those who do not accept,31800:12:07.590 --> 00:12:08.770he's always known that.31900:12:09.190 --> 00:12:10.970So Romans tells us that those who were32000:12:10.970 --> 00:12:15.070vessels ordained to read, read the book of32100:12:15.070 --> 00:12:15.370Romans.32200:12:16.850 --> 00:12:19.310I do not understand the fallen angels.32300:12:19.470 --> 00:12:22.190Are all of them currently chained up or32400:12:22.190 --> 00:12:23.950some still free?32500:12:24.150 --> 00:12:24.750Great question.32600:12:25.270 --> 00:12:27.770Some are, most are free to be bad.32700:12:28.670 --> 00:12:31.330And it appears that the Bible says there's32800:12:31.330 --> 00:12:33.630a handful of them that are so bad32900:12:33.630 --> 00:12:37.110that they are reserved right now in chains,33000:12:37.910 --> 00:12:39.590which by the way, the book of Revelation33100:12:39.590 --> 00:12:42.670again tells us those bad ones will not33200:12:42.670 --> 00:12:46.190be released until the tribulation period comes and33300:12:46.190 --> 00:12:46.990then they're released.33400:12:47.230 --> 00:12:47.990So good question.33500:12:48.890 --> 00:12:54.150Difference between apostates and backsliding or apostasies and33600:12:54.150 --> 00:12:54.730backsliding.33700:12:54.730 --> 00:12:57.610Yeah, an apostate is someone who claimed to33800:12:57.610 --> 00:13:00.110believe and it turned out that they never33900:13:00.110 --> 00:13:01.010really did believe.34000:13:01.310 --> 00:13:03.590Jesus talks about them in Matthew 13 about34100:13:03.590 --> 00:13:04.710the sower and the seeds.34200:13:05.490 --> 00:13:09.550A backslidden person can only be, a backslidden34300:13:09.550 --> 00:13:11.570person has to be a Christian to backslide.34400:13:12.650 --> 00:13:14.910Only saved people can backslide.34500:13:15.190 --> 00:13:16.570Backsliders are saved.34600:13:17.310 --> 00:13:19.110But if Christ came back today, for example,34700:13:19.170 --> 00:13:21.630they would be embarrassed, ashamed at his coming,34800:13:21.730 --> 00:13:22.370the Bible says.34900:13:22.370 --> 00:13:25.270An apostate doesn't belong to the family of35000:13:25.270 --> 00:13:28.010God, but a backslidden, for example, when Peter35100:13:28.010 --> 00:13:30.170was denying Jesus, he was a backslidden.35200:13:30.990 --> 00:13:33.070When you, when, when you were not as35300:13:33.070 --> 00:13:35.710hot for Jesus as you were, you're backslidden.35400:13:36.350 --> 00:13:37.790It doesn't mean you lose your salvation.35500:13:38.290 --> 00:13:40.530It means that you are in the family35600:13:40.530 --> 00:13:42.130of God, but you're not walking right with35700:13:42.130 --> 00:13:42.490God.35800:13:42.610 --> 00:13:43.910You need to repent and get back.35900:13:44.090 --> 00:13:47.190That's the whole thing behind Jesus's admonition to36000:13:47.190 --> 00:13:48.510the church at Ephesus in the book of36100:13:48.510 --> 00:13:48.890Revelation.36200:13:49.350 --> 00:13:50.770Go back to your first works.36300:13:51.450 --> 00:13:52.410What does that mean?36400:13:52.470 --> 00:13:53.410It means you're backslidden.36500:13:53.770 --> 00:13:55.230Get back to where you're supposed to be.36600:13:55.430 --> 00:13:57.530That only applies to the believer, not the36700:13:57.530 --> 00:13:58.090non-believer.36800:13:59.290 --> 00:14:01.290The Lord tells us to bless Israel.36900:14:01.950 --> 00:14:03.870How does this fit in with the Jews37000:14:03.870 --> 00:14:04.550of today?37100:14:04.790 --> 00:14:06.730So much is being said about them not37200:14:06.730 --> 00:14:08.650being the original Jews.37300:14:08.870 --> 00:14:10.950It's amazing how many experts there are today37400:14:10.950 --> 00:14:12.390all of a sudden on Israel.37500:14:12.670 --> 00:14:13.370Quite remarkable.37600:14:13.850 --> 00:14:15.330And they, and these experts don't read their37700:14:15.330 --> 00:14:15.670Bibles.37800:14:16.230 --> 00:14:18.190God has chosen the Jewish people.37900:14:18.190 --> 00:14:21.330He didn't choose them based upon their morality38000:14:21.330 --> 00:14:23.290or anything else.38100:14:23.690 --> 00:14:26.330God knows exactly who the Jews are.38200:14:26.630 --> 00:14:27.370He knows them.38300:14:27.550 --> 00:14:29.090He has declared them to be his chosen38400:14:29.090 --> 00:14:30.550people, his special people.38500:14:31.190 --> 00:14:32.230And he, listen to this.38600:14:32.570 --> 00:14:35.470Note this friend, behind the scenes is a38700:14:35.470 --> 00:14:36.490demonic doctrine.38800:14:36.770 --> 00:14:39.250Because if you can get the Jew to38900:14:39.250 --> 00:14:41.210not exist, then you can get Israel as39000:14:41.210 --> 00:14:42.330a nation to not exist.39100:14:42.550 --> 00:14:44.170Then Christ cannot come back.39200:14:44.730 --> 00:14:46.090And the Bible is false.39300:14:46.490 --> 00:14:48.010And Satan wins and God loses.39400:14:48.450 --> 00:14:50.470Because when Jesus returns, the Bible says he39500:14:50.470 --> 00:14:53.090returns to Israel to establish the throne of39600:14:53.090 --> 00:14:53.530David.39700:14:53.770 --> 00:14:55.590And that he's the king of the Jews.39800:14:55.810 --> 00:14:58.570Do you remember what Herod Pilate wrote over39900:14:58.570 --> 00:14:59.370Jesus's head?40000:14:59.950 --> 00:15:00.670King of the Jews?40100:15:01.210 --> 00:15:02.010That's true.40200:15:02.730 --> 00:15:06.730But listen, there's a lot of demonized people40300:15:06.730 --> 00:15:08.890that are saying, no, it's not true anymore.40400:15:09.230 --> 00:15:10.530Just mark, just mark this down.40500:15:10.650 --> 00:15:12.370There's a lot of experts all of a40600:15:12.370 --> 00:15:13.290sudden on Israel.40700:15:13.290 --> 00:15:14.870They're clowns.40800:15:15.370 --> 00:15:16.410They're clowns.40900:15:16.730 --> 00:15:21.350They're going up against theology that is eternally41000:15:21.350 --> 00:15:23.290rooted from Genesis to Revelation.41100:15:23.490 --> 00:15:24.770Be careful about those people.41200:15:25.750 --> 00:15:28.010Are the Jews living in Israel now descendants41300:15:28.010 --> 00:15:29.190of the biblical Jews?41400:15:29.270 --> 00:15:29.970And how do we know?41500:15:30.090 --> 00:15:30.350Yes.41600:15:30.770 --> 00:15:32.290Yeah, they are because they're back in the41700:15:32.290 --> 00:15:32.550land.41800:15:33.390 --> 00:15:36.850Answer your question by asking this one.41900:15:37.330 --> 00:15:40.510Who is God speaking to in Ezekiel 36,42000:15:40.890 --> 00:15:42.01037, and 38?42100:15:42.190 --> 00:15:42.930There's your answer.42200:15:43.710 --> 00:15:45.990Who is God speaking to in Ezekiel 36,42300:15:46.110 --> 00:15:47.17037, and 38?42400:15:47.490 --> 00:15:49.030And in the last days, he's going to42500:15:49.030 --> 00:15:50.910draw back his people from the four corners42600:15:50.910 --> 00:15:51.450of the earth.42700:15:51.650 --> 00:15:53.450He's going to bring the Jews back home42800:15:53.450 --> 00:15:54.710to where they've never been before.42900:15:55.090 --> 00:15:58.410Isaiah 66 verse 8 says that Israel will43000:15:58.410 --> 00:16:00.470become a nation a second time in one43100:16:00.470 --> 00:16:02.550day, May 14th, 1948.43200:16:03.170 --> 00:16:05.870So you need to get the answers from43300:16:05.870 --> 00:16:08.870the Bible, not from internet searches or from43400:16:08.870 --> 00:16:09.570podcasters.43500:16:10.090 --> 00:16:11.010Very, very important.43600:16:11.330 --> 00:16:12.690Yes, he knows who they are.43700:16:13.570 --> 00:16:16.590Does the rapture happen before or after the43800:16:16.590 --> 00:16:17.210Ezekiel War?43900:16:17.530 --> 00:16:18.250We don't know.44000:16:18.390 --> 00:16:19.910What we do know, this is awesome.44100:16:20.590 --> 00:16:23.050Great scholars all agree on this.44200:16:23.250 --> 00:16:25.810We don't know if it's just before Ezekiel44300:16:25.810 --> 00:16:29.81038 or just after, but all the scholars44400:16:29.810 --> 00:16:30.650believe on this.44500:16:31.110 --> 00:16:33.610The rapture will take place in the vicinity44600:16:33.610 --> 00:16:34.730of Ezekiel 38.44700:16:34.950 --> 00:16:38.850I think that's awesome because Ezekiel 38 is44800:16:38.850 --> 00:16:40.050a super quick war.44900:16:40.050 --> 00:16:42.830God intervenes and opens up the eyes of45000:16:42.830 --> 00:16:44.270the Jews to believe.45100:16:44.890 --> 00:16:47.330Will the rapture happen just before it or45200:16:47.330 --> 00:16:48.390just after it?45300:16:48.490 --> 00:16:49.170Who cares?45400:16:50.110 --> 00:16:51.730It's so close together.45500:16:52.450 --> 00:16:54.650It's like if you start seeing the formation45600:16:54.650 --> 00:16:58.310of Ezekiel 38, which could happen after this45700:16:58.310 --> 00:17:00.890big battle that's going on, there could be45800:17:00.890 --> 00:17:02.790some peace in Israel for a year or45900:17:02.790 --> 00:17:04.329two or six months or three years.46000:17:04.630 --> 00:17:07.310And it's during a time of peace that46100:17:07.310 --> 00:17:09.010this sudden attack takes place.46200:17:09.490 --> 00:17:12.310Again, read Ezekiel 36, 37, and 38.46300:17:13.410 --> 00:17:16.550I'd love to know what you experienced or46400:17:16.550 --> 00:17:18.970learned through leading the 5 a.m. daily46500:17:18.970 --> 00:17:19.970prayer for a year.46600:17:20.190 --> 00:17:21.270How did God bless you?46700:17:22.270 --> 00:17:23.390Wow, God blessed me.46800:17:23.470 --> 00:17:25.950First of all, I'm just going to tell46900:17:25.950 --> 00:17:26.569you straight up.47000:17:28.770 --> 00:17:29.670God blessed me.47100:17:29.750 --> 00:17:30.650I was never sick.47200:17:30.730 --> 00:17:33.070I didn't get sick the entire year, even47300:17:33.070 --> 00:17:34.330when there were sick people around me.47400:17:34.390 --> 00:17:35.290I was never sick.47500:17:35.850 --> 00:17:37.230I didn't miss one.47600:17:37.230 --> 00:17:39.030God's faithfulness was amazing.47700:17:39.830 --> 00:17:41.750But secondly is this.47800:17:42.050 --> 00:17:44.410I had over, I would say about two,47900:17:44.730 --> 00:17:47.310three, maybe three months into it, I began48000:17:47.310 --> 00:17:51.210to feel an unusual affection toward people who48100:17:51.210 --> 00:17:54.310were in that prayer group that I've never48200:17:54.310 --> 00:17:54.670known.48300:17:54.750 --> 00:17:56.190I will never know until heaven.48400:17:56.950 --> 00:17:59.970But I, on our last, the last week48500:17:59.970 --> 00:18:02.690of that year, I began to miss them.48600:18:02.750 --> 00:18:04.090And I can't explain that.48700:18:04.570 --> 00:18:05.710It's a supernatural thing.48800:18:05.710 --> 00:18:06.610I believe it's koinonia.48900:18:07.190 --> 00:18:10.270There was a, it shocked me that when49000:18:10.270 --> 00:18:13.050we, when we would end on December 31st,49100:18:13.050 --> 00:18:17.090that I would miss these people who we'd49200:18:17.090 --> 00:18:19.670spent a year together with, but I didn't49300:18:19.670 --> 00:18:20.130know them.49400:18:21.530 --> 00:18:22.810That's unexplainable.49500:18:25.170 --> 00:18:25.930Leviticus 12.49600:18:26.370 --> 00:18:29.830Why is the unclean period after birth twice49700:18:29.830 --> 00:18:31.910as long for girls than boys?49800:18:32.610 --> 00:18:36.210Listen, God is establishing the, God is establishing49900:18:37.670 --> 00:18:42.870the rule of purity and, and the, the50000:18:42.870 --> 00:18:48.250dynamic of, to the Jew, the dynamic of50100:18:48.250 --> 00:18:51.730cleanliness and purity, but also speaking of deeper50200:18:51.730 --> 00:18:56.890things that the, the blood, remember a woman50300:18:56.890 --> 00:18:58.830was not to be touched during her cycle.50400:18:58.830 --> 00:19:01.150But when it comes to the fact that50500:19:01.150 --> 00:19:04.730there's an extension regarding birth, God is just50600:19:04.730 --> 00:19:08.150simply speaking to us about the redemption that50700:19:08.150 --> 00:19:10.690would come through Jesus Christ, the preciousness of50800:19:10.690 --> 00:19:15.970blood and the, and the, the defilement of50900:19:15.970 --> 00:19:20.530blood that is not sanctioned for worship or51000:19:20.530 --> 00:19:24.150for offering that would, that it's considered to51100:19:24.150 --> 00:19:25.210be unclean.51200:19:25.210 --> 00:19:28.070And all of these things, remember, when we51300:19:28.070 --> 00:19:30.390read Leviticus, as we do read all scripture,51400:19:31.010 --> 00:19:32.130always, here's a good rule.51500:19:32.370 --> 00:19:35.170Always look for Jesus in those things.51600:19:35.250 --> 00:19:38.110How does that apply to the righteousness to51700:19:38.110 --> 00:19:39.090the person of Christ?51800:19:40.690 --> 00:19:42.590What mark did God put on Cain?51900:19:43.510 --> 00:19:47.790If you ask a Mormon, Mormon doctrine tells52000:19:47.790 --> 00:19:53.090you that the God of Mormonism turned Cain52100:19:53.090 --> 00:19:56.190into a That's what Mormonism teaches.52200:19:57.030 --> 00:19:57.950That's horrific.52300:19:58.270 --> 00:19:58.930Isn't that terrible?52400:19:59.590 --> 00:20:01.730We don't know exactly what the mark was,52500:20:01.870 --> 00:20:04.410but it seems to be something that may52600:20:04.410 --> 00:20:07.890have been very, very much on his face52700:20:07.890 --> 00:20:11.390or his head, his forehead, because he's marked52800:20:11.390 --> 00:20:13.490in such a way that people could recognize52900:20:13.490 --> 00:20:15.690Cain wherever he went.53000:20:15.770 --> 00:20:16.310Isn't that wild?53100:20:16.530 --> 00:20:19.130If you saw Cain, you, you better not53200:20:19.130 --> 00:20:20.190kill him.53300:20:20.430 --> 00:20:22.250God's, God's reserved judgment for him.53400:20:22.970 --> 00:20:23.490Okay.53500:20:23.890 --> 00:20:25.150He was marked somehow.53600:20:25.410 --> 00:20:26.390It's tragic though.53700:20:27.990 --> 00:20:30.170Mormonism no longer teaches this, by the way,53800:20:30.210 --> 00:20:32.210they changed their doctrine because the IRS told53900:20:32.210 --> 00:20:33.570them that they were going to lose their54000:20:33.570 --> 00:20:34.970tax exempt status.54100:20:35.210 --> 00:20:38.090So they changed the ruling on Cain being54200:20:38.090 --> 00:20:38.610a Negro.54300:20:39.390 --> 00:20:41.130But I guarantee you, he was not a54400:20:41.130 --> 00:20:41.350Negro.54500:20:41.490 --> 00:20:44.390According to Mormonism, Cain was marked.54600:20:44.550 --> 00:20:45.790Maybe it was a lightning bolt.54700:20:45.930 --> 00:20:48.130Maybe it was an L on his forehead,54800:20:48.130 --> 00:20:50.790but somehow God marked him.54900:20:52.250 --> 00:20:54.550Can a person smoke cigarettes and still go55000:20:54.550 --> 00:20:55.030to heaven?55100:20:55.150 --> 00:20:57.330They love the Lord and want to stop55200:20:57.330 --> 00:20:57.810smoking.55300:20:59.130 --> 00:21:02.050Number one, go to Galatians 5 verse 1.55400:21:03.350 --> 00:21:04.590Pray that into your life.55500:21:05.290 --> 00:21:06.930You'll go to, you'll go to heaven sooner55600:21:06.930 --> 00:21:08.030than the rest of us.55700:21:08.470 --> 00:21:09.990So that's great for you, right?55800:21:10.030 --> 00:21:11.110Because you'll die of cancer.55900:21:12.590 --> 00:21:15.090But it's not, listen, whenever you're in bondage56000:21:15.090 --> 00:21:16.990to something, it's not good.56100:21:17.550 --> 00:21:17.810Okay.56200:21:17.870 --> 00:21:19.290So forget about smoking.56300:21:19.430 --> 00:21:20.270What if it's candy?56400:21:20.450 --> 00:21:21.870You just can't give up candy.56500:21:22.250 --> 00:21:24.250If you can't give something up, it's a56600:21:24.250 --> 00:21:24.510sin.56700:21:25.230 --> 00:21:26.450You need to repent of that.56800:21:27.050 --> 00:21:28.670Ask God to give you the strength based56900:21:28.670 --> 00:21:31.750upon Galatians 5.1. Stand firm in that57000:21:31.750 --> 00:21:32.070liberty.57100:21:32.290 --> 00:21:34.290Ask God to heal you because you're not57200:21:34.290 --> 00:21:36.910only getting yourself sick, you're getting others sick57300:21:36.910 --> 00:21:37.690around you.57400:21:38.470 --> 00:21:41.410And it's, look, it's not good.57500:21:41.490 --> 00:21:42.790You're supposed to take care of your body,57600:21:42.910 --> 00:21:44.190which belongs to God.57700:21:44.830 --> 00:21:48.570So figure out something quick, but pray Galatians57800:21:48.570 --> 00:21:49.8305.1 into your life.57900:21:52.050 --> 00:21:54.450Why did the Lord write letters to the58000:21:54.450 --> 00:21:55.490churches in Asia?58100:21:56.930 --> 00:22:00.150Asia Minor, specifically, region of Turkey.58200:22:00.870 --> 00:22:04.190But this, it doesn't really matter, but there's58300:22:04.190 --> 00:22:05.150a circuit there.58400:22:05.270 --> 00:22:06.270It's kind of like an oval.58500:22:06.650 --> 00:22:08.810So when Jesus wrote to the seven letters58600:22:08.810 --> 00:22:10.510of the seven churches, they happen to form58700:22:10.510 --> 00:22:12.690an oval, which is kind of irrelevant.58800:22:13.250 --> 00:22:16.090But each of those churches not only described58900:22:16.090 --> 00:22:19.530an actual church at the time, those were59000:22:19.530 --> 00:22:20.230actual churches.59100:22:20.370 --> 00:22:21.410And you can go, by the way, to59200:22:21.410 --> 00:22:23.930Asia Minor today, Turkey, and you can visit59300:22:23.930 --> 00:22:24.690all those sites.59400:22:24.810 --> 00:22:27.490That said, it just so happens because God59500:22:27.490 --> 00:22:28.290knows what he's doing.59600:22:29.250 --> 00:22:31.890Throughout the last 2,000 years, those churches59700:22:31.890 --> 00:22:35.650have actually been in chronological order as they've59800:22:35.650 --> 00:22:38.170conducted themselves generally in the world.59900:22:38.890 --> 00:22:40.610Yet the most important thing of all is60000:22:40.610 --> 00:22:40.950this.60100:22:41.310 --> 00:22:43.310At any given time, you want to make60200:22:43.310 --> 00:22:46.590sure that your heart is really like one,60300:22:46.710 --> 00:22:49.830if you can, one like Philadelphian church.60400:22:50.190 --> 00:22:51.990Because it also describes the believer.60500:22:52.130 --> 00:22:53.710Now, some believers today, as I sit here60600:22:53.710 --> 00:22:56.450in comfort, there's believers like those that are60700:22:56.450 --> 00:22:57.210in Smyrna.60800:22:57.450 --> 00:22:59.090They're dying for their faith.60900:22:59.750 --> 00:23:01.850There's Christians in North Africa that are dying61000:23:01.850 --> 00:23:02.810for their faith today.61100:23:03.270 --> 00:23:04.950The Church of Philadelphia is going to be61200:23:04.950 --> 00:23:06.550delivered from the wrath to come.61300:23:07.270 --> 00:23:09.010Just make sure that when you read the61400:23:09.010 --> 00:23:10.890seven letters, you apply it to your own61500:23:10.890 --> 00:23:11.630life personally.61600:23:11.730 --> 00:23:12.810But they were real churches.61700:23:13.730 --> 00:23:17.070What alphabet did God use on the tablet61800:23:17.070 --> 00:23:18.210given to Moses?61900:23:18.710 --> 00:23:21.190Was Moses given knowledge of the alphabet at62000:23:21.190 --> 00:23:21.910this time?62100:23:22.290 --> 00:23:23.230I believe it was Hebrew.62200:23:24.490 --> 00:23:26.590I believe Hebrew is the language of God.62300:23:28.170 --> 00:23:29.590I can't prove that.62400:23:32.030 --> 00:23:34.890But it seems to me, you know, prior62500:23:34.890 --> 00:23:39.750to Babel, I think the world spoke Hebrew.62600:23:40.390 --> 00:23:42.750I think after Babel, right?62700:23:42.850 --> 00:23:45.210There were all those crazy languages that caused62800:23:45.210 --> 00:23:45.990great confusion.62900:23:47.790 --> 00:23:49.050It's just my guess.63000:23:49.230 --> 00:23:51.330I think in heaven, it might even be63100:23:51.330 --> 00:23:52.130during the millennium.63200:23:52.930 --> 00:23:54.990I think during the millennium, it would make63300:23:54.990 --> 00:23:56.650sense to me that during the millennium, that63400:23:56.650 --> 00:23:58.970we all spoke Hebrew, that everybody spoke Hebrew.63500:23:59.550 --> 00:24:01.370But I think Hebrew is God's language.63600:24:03.510 --> 00:24:07.190Did God offer Israel grace instead of the63700:24:07.190 --> 00:24:09.750law, but they chose the law instead?63800:24:10.650 --> 00:24:13.610God offered the law to show Israel that63900:24:13.610 --> 00:24:14.290they were sinners.64000:24:15.430 --> 00:24:17.890Grace was exemplified in the offering of the64100:24:17.890 --> 00:24:18.130blood.64200:24:18.270 --> 00:24:20.070Remember, God said to Moses, tell the people64300:24:20.070 --> 00:24:21.470that the day that they break any one64400:24:21.470 --> 00:24:25.690of these rules, laws, excuse me, they got64500:24:25.690 --> 00:24:28.790to offer up blood of an innocent animal,64600:24:28.870 --> 00:24:31.010of a lamb, or blood of an animal.64700:24:31.950 --> 00:24:33.030That's God's grace.64800:24:33.610 --> 00:24:35.790So the law was given to convict us64900:24:35.790 --> 00:24:36.490of our sins.65000:24:38.670 --> 00:24:40.310That's God's judgment.65100:24:40.730 --> 00:24:44.330But judgment is appeased by God's grace when65200:24:44.330 --> 00:24:45.770an offering is made.65300:24:46.050 --> 00:24:48.850That's why the law came through Moses, but65400:24:48.850 --> 00:24:50.630grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.65500:24:51.110 --> 00:24:52.690How is it that grace and truth came65600:24:52.690 --> 00:24:53.590through Jesus Christ?65700:24:54.490 --> 00:24:54.830How?65800:24:55.530 --> 00:24:56.550His sacrifice.65900:24:56.690 --> 00:24:59.690It's called atonement or fancy word, very important,66000:25:00.170 --> 00:25:01.010propitiation.66100:25:01.570 --> 00:25:04.950The propitiation of Christ caused him to be66200:25:04.950 --> 00:25:08.010our atonement, which was the provider of all66300:25:08.010 --> 00:25:11.330grace to fulfill the law and to have66400:25:11.330 --> 00:25:13.950all of us forgiven based upon his sacrifice.66500:25:15.590 --> 00:25:17.970How do we balance unity with differing views66600:25:17.970 --> 00:25:19.430on end times prophecy?66700:25:20.730 --> 00:25:21.550Grow up.66800:25:22.470 --> 00:25:23.730Just grow up.66900:25:25.050 --> 00:25:26.750People will have different views.67000:25:27.030 --> 00:25:28.690Stop being weird about it.67100:25:29.260 --> 00:25:35.670Uh, meaning this, uh, scholars throughout all of67200:25:35.670 --> 00:25:38.910history have had different views on Bible prophecy.67300:25:40.790 --> 00:25:43.350Uh, but there's no division in that.67400:25:43.450 --> 00:25:45.070Now, I should say this.67500:25:45.150 --> 00:25:47.370If somebody says, well, my prophecy view is67600:25:47.370 --> 00:25:47.670this.67700:25:47.910 --> 00:25:49.010There's no Israel.67800:25:49.470 --> 00:25:50.870Jesus isn't coming back.67900:25:51.150 --> 00:25:52.830And there is no millennium.68000:25:52.970 --> 00:25:53.210Okay.68100:25:53.370 --> 00:25:55.890That is not a Bible prophecy issue.68200:25:55.890 --> 00:25:57.690That is a salvation.68300:25:57.770 --> 00:25:59.070You are so messed up.68400:25:59.290 --> 00:26:00.570You don't even understand the Bible.68500:26:00.890 --> 00:26:03.610But if somebody believes something like, oh, I68600:26:03.610 --> 00:26:06.290think there's a post-tribulation rapture, which I68700:26:06.290 --> 00:26:07.950totally do not believe in.68800:26:08.350 --> 00:26:10.990But a Christian who's a post-tribulationist, they're68900:26:10.990 --> 00:26:11.710just confused.69000:26:12.350 --> 00:26:13.910They're going to go up in the rapture.69100:26:13.990 --> 00:26:15.590They just might be the most surprised ones69200:26:15.590 --> 00:26:16.130going up.69300:26:16.330 --> 00:26:17.910But they're my brothers and my sisters.69400:26:18.390 --> 00:26:20.690If somebody believes that Ezekiel is after the69500:26:20.690 --> 00:26:24.610rapture or Ezekiel is before the rapture, that's69600:26:24.610 --> 00:26:26.930absolutely spectacularly fine.69700:26:27.110 --> 00:26:29.750That has nothing to do with the biblical69800:26:29.750 --> 00:26:33.550doctrine that is, um, that is the tenets69900:26:33.550 --> 00:26:35.250of Christianity or Judaism.70000:26:35.590 --> 00:26:38.310I hope you make that distinction clear.70100:26:38.790 --> 00:26:39.830We need to grow up.70200:26:39.930 --> 00:26:42.470If somebody disagrees with us, so what?70300:26:42.670 --> 00:26:44.270It doesn't mean that there's some kind of70400:26:44.270 --> 00:26:44.870a weirdo.70500:26:45.110 --> 00:26:46.670It means they see a different view.70600:26:47.030 --> 00:26:47.450It's good.70700:26:47.530 --> 00:26:47.950It's okay.70800:26:49.290 --> 00:26:51.830Will the city of Damascus fall before the70900:26:51.830 --> 00:26:52.790rapture or after?71000:26:53.350 --> 00:26:53.950We don't know.71100:26:54.830 --> 00:26:57.250He's referring to Isaiah 17 verse one.71200:26:57.370 --> 00:26:57.970We don't know.71300:26:58.330 --> 00:27:01.490But I tell you what, if you see,71400:27:01.610 --> 00:27:02.790if you and I see on the news71500:27:02.790 --> 00:27:07.750that Damascus gets nuked, God says, when it71600:27:07.750 --> 00:27:08.910gets hit, no one's ever going to live71700:27:08.910 --> 00:27:09.410there again.71800:27:10.810 --> 00:27:11.210Wow.71900:27:11.810 --> 00:27:14.030That would just, if we see that, then72000:27:14.030 --> 00:27:15.010we better get ready.72100:27:15.650 --> 00:27:17.130We just should be super ready.72200:27:17.910 --> 00:27:20.090But there's no, there's no rule.72300:27:20.090 --> 00:27:23.970I personally, my opinion, I believe that Ezekiel,72400:27:23.990 --> 00:27:30.170I believe that, um, Isaiah 17 one happens72500:27:30.170 --> 00:27:32.750before Ezekiel 38.72600:27:33.110 --> 00:27:34.310I could be wrong.72700:27:34.650 --> 00:27:36.710I don't really care, but I think that's72800:27:36.710 --> 00:27:37.310how I see it.72900:27:38.490 --> 00:27:39.250Last question.73000:27:39.810 --> 00:27:41.930How did all those animals fit in the73100:27:41.930 --> 00:27:42.150ark?73200:27:43.230 --> 00:27:45.510You should go to the Ark Encounter in73300:27:45.510 --> 00:27:47.470Kentucky, Answers in Genesis.73400:27:48.110 --> 00:27:51.150Uh, they'll make it make perfect sense because73500:27:51.150 --> 00:27:52.810number one is this.73600:27:53.910 --> 00:27:58.050Uh, the size of the Ark in Genesis73700:27:58.050 --> 00:28:00.310that is given turns out to be the73800:28:00.310 --> 00:28:05.490same size as 522 railroad cars stacked together.73900:28:05.750 --> 00:28:08.350A lot of those animals were not mature74000:28:08.350 --> 00:28:11.970in their, um, in their size.74100:28:12.550 --> 00:28:14.750Not all of them are giant in size.74200:28:15.410 --> 00:28:19.070I personally believe that Noah took on.74300:28:19.590 --> 00:28:23.830Uh, the Ark, even some male and female74400:28:23.830 --> 00:28:28.670dinosaurs, little ones, young before they sexually matured,74500:28:28.750 --> 00:28:31.030they would have sexually matured after they got74600:28:31.030 --> 00:28:31.670out of the Ark.74700:28:31.930 --> 00:28:35.910But when, when you, uh, when, when you74800:28:35.910 --> 00:28:38.390build this thing, I'm thinking Noah knows a74900:28:38.390 --> 00:28:39.710giraffe's pretty tall.75000:28:39.710 --> 00:28:42.770Either he took a male, female, adult giraffes,75100:28:42.890 --> 00:28:45.410or he took male, female, young giraffes.75200:28:45.750 --> 00:28:47.530But one thing is certain when you look75300:28:47.530 --> 00:28:50.990at 522 railroad cars and the possibility that75400:28:50.990 --> 00:28:54.430everything fit on there by twos, um, it,75500:28:54.530 --> 00:28:56.630it doesn't necessarily mean that they all had75600:28:56.630 --> 00:28:58.550to be in their mature, uh, full-grown75700:28:58.550 --> 00:28:59.030state.75800:28:59.330 --> 00:29:01.170Think about that for a moment, but I75900:29:01.170 --> 00:29:05.210highly recommend, oh my goodness, go to the76000:29:05.210 --> 00:29:06.430creation museum.76100:29:06.670 --> 00:29:11.190That's just outside Cincinnati and the Ark encounter.76200:29:11.670 -->

got back from there.76600:29:17.070 --> 00:29:18.050It's my third time there.76700:29:18.590 --> 00:29:19.350You'll be blown away.76800:29:20.150 --> 00:29:20.890Is that it?76900:29:21.470 -->
