260 00:09:41.270 --> 00:09:43.490 For years, we've been taught there are no 261 00:09:43.490 --> 00:09:46.270 remaining prophecies that must be fulfilled before the 262 00:09:46.270 --> 00:09:46.750 rapture. 263 00:09:46.750 --> 00:09:51.250 But your explanation for Jeremiah 49 indicates a 264 00:09:51.250 --> 00:09:53.230 prophecy that has not been fulfilled. 265 00:09:53.410 --> 00:09:55.910 Does it need to be fulfilled before the 266 00:09:55.910 --> 00:09:56.290 rapture? 267 00:09:56.490 --> 00:10:00.030 There is literally no correlation between Jeremiah 49 268 00:10:00.030 --> 00:10:01.170 and the rapture. 269 00:10:01.370 --> 00:10:02.710 There's no correlation. 270 00:10:03.170 --> 00:10:06.470 There's no correlation between most prophecies and the 271 00:10:06.470 --> 00:10:06.830 rapture. 272 00:10:06.910 --> 00:10:10.210 That's what I'm saying is that you might 273 00:10:10.210 --> 00:10:12.310 be confusing the rapture with the second coming. 274 00:10:12.830 --> 00:10:15.790 There is no prophecy that has to take 275 00:10:15.790 --> 00:10:16.970 place before the rapture. 276 00:10:17.430 --> 00:10:19.190 There's no precursor, no warning. 277 00:10:19.750 --> 00:10:22.090 The second coming is a different story completely. 278 00:10:22.850 --> 00:10:25.650 So just remember that the rapture could happen 279 00:10:25.650 --> 00:10:28.650 today with or without war in the Middle 280 00:10:28.650 --> 00:10:33.030 East, with or without anything. 281 00:10:33.330 --> 00:10:34.630 The rapture could happen now. 282 00:10:35.710 --> 00:10:38.350 So don't ever put something in front of 283 00:10:38.350 --> 00:10:38.890 the rapture. 284 00:10:38.890 --> 00:10:43.130 But you must put something like 350 prophecies 285 00:10:43.130 --> 00:10:46.410 ahead of the second coming, which takes place 286 00:10:46.410 --> 00:10:47.910 at the end of the seven-year tribulation 287 00:10:47.910 --> 00:10:48.390 period. 288 00:10:49.650 --> 00:10:51.910 When I hear the word chosen in the 289 00:10:51.910 --> 00:10:54.630 Bible, I get, I can't get past the 290 00:10:54.630 --> 00:10:56.930 fact that some were not chosen. 291 00:10:57.450 --> 00:10:59.630 Am I just being paranoid that God knows 292 00:10:59.630 --> 00:11:01.670 those who weren't called for his purposes? 293 00:11:02.250 --> 00:11:04.050 You're paranoid for this reason. 294 00:11:04.730 --> 00:11:06.510 The scripture makes it very clear in the 295 00:11:06.510 --> 00:11:09.970 book of Ephesians that God knew us before 296 00:11:09.970 --> 00:11:11.350 the foundations of the world. 297 00:11:11.490 --> 00:11:13.230 The book of Romans tells us, chapter 8, 298 00:11:13.310 --> 00:11:19.310 for example, that the Lord has, he has 299 00:11:19.310 --> 00:11:21.670 not only saved us, but he knew before 300 00:11:21.670 --> 00:11:23.430 the foundations of the world were ever laying 301 00:11:23.430 --> 00:11:26.210 that he would not only choose us, he 302 00:11:26.210 --> 00:11:29.410 would do that based upon his foreknowledge. 303 00:11:29.950 --> 00:11:32.950 So listen, God knows that the entire world 304 00:11:32.950 --> 00:11:34.870 at all time, those who would accept the 305 00:11:34.870 --> 00:11:36.730 gospel and those who would not. 306 00:11:37.250 --> 00:11:40.070 The chosen are not those chosen to accept. 307 00:11:40.710 --> 00:11:42.610 The chosen are those who God knew in 308 00:11:42.610 --> 00:11:44.810 eternity that when the gospel is presented to 309 00:11:44.810 --> 00:11:47.750 the whole world, these here would say yes, 310 00:11:47.810 --> 00:11:48.790 because that's true worship. 311 00:11:49.250 --> 00:11:52.210 Their own choosing, they would come to Christ. 312 00:11:52.530 --> 00:11:54.650 Those, those become the chosen. 313 00:11:55.110 --> 00:11:57.010 He doesn't make people believe and he doesn't 314 00:11:57.010 --> 00:11:58.670 blind people from believing. 315 00:11:58.670 --> 00:12:02.070 He gives everyone the opportunity to believe and 316 00:12:02.070 --> 00:12:04.310 then, and listen, in his eternal mind, in 317 00:12:04.310 --> 00:12:07.470 his eternal existence, those who do not accept, 318 00:12:07.590 --> 00:12:08.770 he's always known that. 319 00:12:09.190 --> 00:12:10.970 So Romans tells us that those who were 320 00:12:10.970 --> 00:12:15.070 vessels ordained to read, read the book of 321 00:12:15.070 --> 00:12:15.370 Romans. 322 00:12:16.850 --> 00:12:19.310 I do not understand the fallen angels. 323 00:12:19.470 --> 00:12:22.190 Are all of them currently chained up or 324 00:12:22.190 --> 00:12:23.950 some still free?

619 00:23:18.710 --> 00:23:21.190 Was Moses given knowledge of the alphabet at 620 00:23:21.190 --> 00:23:21.910 this time? 621 00:23:22.290 --> 00:23:23.230 I believe it was Hebrew. 622 00:23:24.490 --> 00:23:26.590 I believe Hebrew is the language of God. 623 00:23:28.170 --> 00:23:29.590 I can't prove that. 624 00:23:32.030 --> 00:23:34.890 But it seems to me, you know, prior 625 00:23:34.890 --> 00:23:39.750 to Babel, I think the world spoke Hebrew. 626 00:23:40.390 --> 00:23:42.750 I think after Babel, right? 627 00:23:42.850 --> 00:23:45.210 There were all those crazy languages that caused 628 00:23:45.210 --> 00:23:45.990 great confusion. 629 00:23:47.790 --> 00:23:49.050 It's just my guess. 630 00:23:49.230 --> 00:23:51.330 I think in heaven, it might even be 631 00:23:51.330 --> 00:23:52.130 during the millennium. 632 00:23:52.930 --> 00:23:54.990 I think during the millennium, it would make 633 00:23:54.990 --> 00:23:56.650 sense to me that during the millennium, that 634 00:23:56.650 --> 00:23:58.970 we all spoke Hebrew, that everybody spoke Hebrew. 635 00:23:59.550 --> 00:24:01.370 But I think Hebrew is God's language. 636 00:24:03.510 --> 00:24:07.190 Did God offer Israel grace instead of the 637 00:24:07.190 --> 00:24:09.750 law, but they chose the law instead? 638 00:24:10.650 --> 00:24:13.610 God offered the law to show Israel that 639 00:24:13.610 --> 00:24:14.290 they were sinners. 640 00:24:15.430 --> 00:24:17.890 Grace was exemplified in the offering of the 641 00:24:17.890 --> 00:24:18.130 blood. 642 00:24:18.270 --> 00:24:20.070 Remember, God said to Moses, tell the people 643 00:24:20.070 --> 00:24:21.470 that the day that they break any one 644 00:24:21.470 --> 00:24:25.690 of these rules, laws, excuse me, they got 645 00:24:25.690 --> 00:24:28.790 to offer up blood of an innocent animal, 646 00:24:28.870 --> 00:24:31.010 of a lamb, or blood of an animal. 647 00:24:31.950 --> 00:24:33.030 That's God's grace. 648 00:24:33.610 --> 00:24:35.790 So the law was given to convict us 649 00:24:35.790 --> 00:24:36.490 of our sins. 650 00:24:38.670 --> 00:24:40.310 That's God's judgment. 651 00:24:40.730 --> 00:24:44.330 But judgment is appeased by God's grace when 652 00:24:44.330 --> 00:24:45.770 an offering is made. 653 00:24:46.050 --> 00:24:48.850 That's why the law came through Moses, but 654 00:24:48.850 --> 00:24:50.630 grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 655 00:24:51.110 --> 00:24:52.690 How is it that grace and truth came 656 00:24:52.690 --> 00:24:53.590 through Jesus Christ?
