00:00:01So a couple weeks ago I preached a sermon about dual prophecies and I started looking at the Day of the Lord and there's several mentions about the Day of the Lord.
00:00:11Some of them are a slightly future event when the whatever the prophet is that's preaching about it.
00:00:20But then some of it was a more future event like when Jesus is first coming and then some of it is a future event of when the second coming of Christ is.
00:00:33And then some of it is even further into the more of the future when we're in heaven for eternity.
00:00:40So we're going to start in Isaiah 2.
00:00:43So if you know anything about the Bible we know that Isaiah is one of the prophecy books, the major prophets.
00:00:49That is talking about the Babylonian captivity way in advance, talking about what God's going to do, his judgment, that he's not happy with the nation of Judah.
00:01:02Now we know that when Solomon was king, after he was king, the nation of Israel was split into two.
00:01:12One was Israel, which was the northern kingdom, which is about ten tribes.
00:01:17And then the nation of Judah was about two tribes.
00:01:21You had the Levites and then some others.
00:01:25So now Israel, the northern nation, became just so wicked that God just basically did away with him and he focused on the nation of Judah.
00:01:35And that's where we're at.
00:01:36Isaiah 2.12
00:01:37Isaiah 2.12
00:01:41For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon everyone that is proud and lofty, and upon everyone that is lifted up, and he shall be brought low.
00:01:52So when we read this, we say, well this might be when God is going to punish the nation of Judah, and that's possible.
00:02:01And upon all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up, and upon the oaks of Bashan, and upon the high mountains, and upon the hills that are lifted up, and upon every high tower, and upon every fence wall, and upon the ships of Tarshish, and upon the pleasant pictures, and the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low.
00:02:21And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day, and the idols he shall utterly abolish.
00:02:29So it's clear that in this passage, it's talking about the recent future event of when God is going to destroy the nation of Judah.
00:02:40The Babylonian nation is going to come in and take them captive because they did get haughty.
00:02:45They were proud and not listening to what the Lord is saying.
00:02:50So if you go backwards to verse 1 and chapter 2, the word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning what? Judah and Jerusalem.
00:03:03So this is what God is showing Isaiah that's going to happen to Judah and Jerusalem.
00:03:09We know that Jerusalem was the capital city of Judah.
00:03:14And it came to pass in the last days that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and all the nations shall flow into it.
00:03:26And many nations shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go into the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob.
00:03:34And he would teach us his ways, and we will walk in his path, for out of the Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord shall come from Jerusalem.
00:03:46And it shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people, and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks.
00:03:56Nations shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.
00:04:00So we know that we've seen a transition, that it's talking about the mountain of the Lord.
00:04:05First it's talking about beating their swords into plowshares.
00:04:09Well this isn't when Babylon's taking them.
00:04:12They're not going to take their swords and beat them into a plowshare.
00:04:15What is a plowshare?
00:04:16It's a farming tool.
00:04:18It's something you would use as a farming tool.
00:04:21A pruning hook is just something that you might cut down and prune a plant with.
00:04:26And what it's saying is that sometime this is going to happen.
00:04:30Well we know this isn't going to happen when they're coming, the Babylonian nation is coming to take Judah.
00:04:37Because they're going to be fighting them.
00:04:39In fact the whole book of Isaiah is a prophecy in Jeremiah telling them don't fight these people.
00:04:45They will kill you.
00:04:47Just give up.
00:04:48Go into captivity.
00:04:49God will take care of you.
00:04:50But what do they do?
00:04:51They don't do that.
00:04:52Some of them fight.
00:04:53Some of them get destroyed.
00:04:54Some of them get burned up.
00:04:55Get stabbed.
00:04:55So this in verse 4 has nothing to do with the recent event that's going to happen with the nation of Judah.
00:05:04But it's a further event of when Jesus Christ is ruling and reigning for a thousand years.
00:05:10That's when we see them not fighting anybody.
00:05:14That's when we see peace on earth.
00:05:15Is when they don't need weapons.
00:05:18But now this is not what this is talking about.
00:05:22Go down to verse 5.
00:05:24O house of Jacob, come ye and let us walk in the light of the Lord.
00:05:30Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people, the house of Jacob, because they be plenished from the east and are soothsayers like the Philistines.
00:05:38And they please themselves and children of strangers.
00:05:41Their land is also full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasure.
00:05:45Their land is also full of horses, neither is there the end of their chariots.
00:05:48Their land also is full of idols, they worship the work of their hands, that which their own fingers have made.
00:05:55And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself.
00:05:59Therefore forgive them not.
00:06:02Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for the fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty.
00:06:07That sounds like in Revelation 6, where it says that the men are going to hide in the rocks, and they're going to say, you know, fall down on me.
00:06:19Because they don't want Jesus to be the judgment.
00:06:23The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the heartiness of men shall be bowed down.
00:06:27And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
00:06:30For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon everyone that is proud and lofty, and upon everyone that is lifted up, and he shall be brought down low.
00:06:39So we see that it transitions.
00:06:43One, we see the future event of when God is going to punish the nation of Judah.
00:06:48But then it transitions in verse 4, talking about that, hey, everything's going to be fine, and eventually Jerusalem's going to be lifted up.
00:06:57Not now.
00:06:58This is not now.
00:06:59This is in the future.
00:07:01More future event.
00:07:02After the rapture, after Jesus comes, and the rapture, after the judgment of God, when he brings down fire and brimstone, and turns water into blood, rivers into blood, all this stuff is in the future.
00:07:16And then we see where it's talking about no war, where nations are not fighting against each other.
00:07:23Go to Isaiah 13.
00:07:26Isaiah chapter 13.
00:07:28And again, I want you to constantly see that in the Old Testament especially, there's a transition of events that might come recent, close to when the prophet is saying it.
00:07:43But then there's future, more future events, like the first coming of Christ, or the second coming of Christ, or either further in advance.
00:07:51So the worst thing we can do is we can't read the Old Testament and say, this is talking about something that's going to happen.
00:07:59Some of it's already happened.
00:08:01Some of it's already happened.
00:08:02We just see where God's talking about judging the day of the Lord.
00:08:06We can't just say the day of the Lord is that Jesus' second coming because that's not.
00:08:10Sometimes it's the first coming.
00:08:12Sometimes it's a small judgment, a small day of the Lord.
00:08:15Now we know there's a big day of the Lord when He is going to destroy everything on this earth.
00:08:21We know that.
00:08:21Now I wasn't alive back then.
00:08:51And I don't know exactly what happened.
00:08:53I don't know if it was sudden.
00:08:55But I do know that the Bible constantly talks about the end times as what?
00:09:00As a woman's travailing.
00:09:02That's talking about when she's about to have a baby.
00:09:06That when a woman's pregnant and she starts to have labor pains, they start a little bit.
00:09:12And then they continue on.
00:09:14Then they get more frequent.
00:09:15There's more time between them.
00:09:17I don't know that.
00:09:18I've seen enough stuff on TV and talked about enough to women that eventually, right before the baby comes, the labor pains are more intense.
00:09:28And then they're more frequent.
00:09:29And there's less time between them.
00:09:30You know, you see on TV where they say, well, how much time is the pain in each pain?
00:09:34And they tell you.
00:09:35That's what it's talking about.
00:09:36So when the Bible's talking about labor pains, and as a woman travaileth, that reminds me of what God talks about the end times.
00:09:46So again, we see a transition of saying, today, the day of the Lord is at hand.
00:09:51But then we see it talking about a future event.
00:09:55Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel, both wrath and fierce anger.
00:09:59That could be what's happening with the nation of Judah, but it's also could be what's happening when, after the Lord comes, and he does destroy everything on this earth.
00:10:09He shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
00:10:13So it could be talking about the people who resist or whatever in the nation of Judah.
00:10:17But again, there's a dual prophecy that is talking about when, a later event of the day of the Lord.
00:10:22And then we see, look at verse 10, for the stars of heaven and the constellations there shall not give their light.
00:10:29The sun shall be darkened in his glory forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
00:10:36We see that in Matthew 24.
00:10:38We see that in Mark 13.
00:10:41We see that in Luke 21.
00:10:43We see that in Revelation 6, where constantly, the sun's not going to shine.
00:10:49The blood moon that they're talking about.
00:10:51And then the stars are going to fall out of the sky.
00:10:53Could it happen then?
00:10:55Probably so.
00:10:55But we know that it's clear that in the New Testament, it talks about these events coming in the future when Jesus Christ comes.
00:11:04And then, look, I will punish the world for their iniquity.
00:11:08So this has nothing to do with the nation of Judah.
00:11:11But it does have to do with the judgment of God after the second coming of Christ,
00:11:16when he does bring on the vile judgments, the trumpet judgments, that he is going to punish the world for their evil.
00:11:25But here we see transition from Babylon, because you look at verse 1, it says the burden of Babylon.
00:11:32Well, that's just talking about one little event.
00:11:34But then the future event, further in, that we see.
00:11:38And I will cause the arrogancy of the proud deceased, and will lay low the haughtiness of their terrible.
00:11:46And I will make a man more precious than fine gold, even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
00:11:53Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall move out of her place.
00:11:57And the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
00:12:00And so we see that verse 11 through 13 is talking about, or 10 through 13 is talking about what?
00:12:08It's talking about the future event.
00:12:09When God brings judgment, he's going to shake the earth.
00:12:12The Bible talks about shaking the earth like a drunken man walks, where he's wobbling around.
00:12:19This didn't happen against Judah, but it is going to happen in the future.
00:12:22Go to verse 14.
00:12:24And it shall be as a chaste roe, and as a sheep, that no man taketh up.
00:12:28But they shall, every man turn to his own people, and flee into every one of his own land.
00:12:33Every one that is found shall be thrust through, and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.
00:12:38Again, now we're transferring to what?
00:12:40We're transferring back to when the nation of Judah is going to be judged by Babylon.
00:12:47Their children also shall be dashed into pieces before their eyes.
00:12:50Their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
00:12:53Behold, I will stir up the meads.
00:12:55So we know what happened.
00:12:56We know that the nation of Babylon destroyed Judah, the nation of Judah.
00:13:01And then what happened?
00:13:03Babylon got haughty, and guess what?
00:13:05The Medes and the Persians, and they came and took over Babylon, the nation of Babylon.
00:13:10We know that Nebuchadnezzar, there's a dream that his son saw, and he was killed that night by the Medes and the Persians.
00:13:21That's what it's saying, that God is going to stir up the Medes against them, shall not regard silver and gold, as they shall not delight in them.
00:13:28Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces, and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb.
00:13:35Their eyes shall not spare children.
00:13:36So we see a transition.
00:13:38First, it's talking about a future event, and then it's talking about further in the future of the end times.
00:13:44Go to Isaiah 34.
00:13:45We're just looking at every time it talks about the day of the Lord.
00:13:52There's other times where it talks about the day of his judgment, like in Zephaniah, but it's actually talking about just the Babylonian.
00:14:01Look at Isaiah 34, verse 1.
00:14:31And all the hosts of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll, and all their hosts shall fall down as a leaf falleth off the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.
00:14:42So we know verse 1 through 4 is talking about the future event of God's judgment.
00:14:48Because it's talking about the earth.
00:14:50Or you hear something about the whole world.
00:14:53These events are in the future.
00:14:55Talking about it being melted.
00:14:57Talking about the heavens being rolled back like a scroll.
00:15:00We see that in one of the scriptures when Jesus comes in the clouds.
00:15:03Go down to verse 5.
00:15:05For my sword shall be bathed in heaven.
00:15:08Behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse to judgment.
00:15:14The sword of the Lord is filled with blood.
00:15:16It is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, and the fat of the kidneys of rams.
00:15:21For the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozar, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.
00:15:27And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls, and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with the fatness.
00:15:38It is the day of the Lord's vengeance, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion.
00:15:44So we saw in verse 1 through 4 talking about the more future event after Jesus' second coming.
00:15:49Now we see something that's going to happen just to the nation of Judah.
00:15:54And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof, and the brimstone of land there shall become burning pitch.
00:16:01We know that the nation of Judah was burned.
00:16:04It was burning, and they were killed with the sword.
00:16:07That's why we know that this is the prophecy of what's going to happen to the nation of Judah.
00:16:14It shall not be quenched night or day.
00:16:16The smoke there shall go up forever.
00:16:18From generation to generation it shall allow waste.
00:16:21None shall pass through it forever and ever.
00:16:23Because we know that what?
00:16:24God promised that nobody would ever live in the nation of Babylon after it was destroyed.
00:16:29So this is talking about a more future event in Revelation 18 where it says that God's going to destroy the Babylon.
00:16:40Not the little nation of Babylon, but what he has deemed as being like Babylon, which I believe at this point is the United States.
00:16:47Because we have more influence on the world than any other nation as far as music, as far as what we tell people to do.
00:16:58All these things.
00:17:00So we see again another transition.
00:17:05Go to Revelation 19.
00:17:09Well, I'm sorry, let me finish reading.
00:17:11But the Cormoron and the Bitturn shall possess it.
00:17:15The Owl and the Raven shall dwell in it.
00:17:17He shall stretch forth the line of confusion and the stones of emptiness.
00:17:21They shall call the nobles heir of the kingdom, but none shall be there.
00:17:24And her princes shall be nothing.
00:17:25All thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof.
00:17:31And there shall be an inhabitation of dragons and a court for owls.
00:17:37Wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island.
00:17:41And the satyr shall cry to his fellow.
00:17:44And the screech owl shall also rest there and find for herself a place of rest.
00:17:48There shall be the great owl.
00:17:49So we see that it's talking about an event where there's a lot of birds that are eating a lot of dead carcasses.
00:18:04Go to Revelation 19.
00:18:05And I'm sure at the time of Isaiah, people were kind of confused.
00:18:13They were looking for these events.
00:18:15And some of these events didn't happen.
00:18:17Now I'm sure there's a lot of dead bodies.
00:18:20You know, there's a lot of dead bodies.
00:18:21There's probably a lot of animals that are eating them.
00:18:24That, you know, God has made that way.
00:18:27Vultures, owls, these are kind of, they're predators.
00:18:33But they take dead bodies.
00:18:35A vulture won't eat anything live.
00:18:37It's got to be dead.
00:18:39There's other animals that do that.
00:18:41So look at Revelation 19 verse 11.
00:18:43And I saw heaven opened and behold a white horse.
00:18:45And he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True.
00:18:49And in righteousness he does judge and make war.
00:18:51His eyes were as a flame of fire.
00:18:53And on his head were many crowns.
00:18:55And he had a name written that no man knew but he himself.
00:18:58And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood.
00:19:01And his name is called the Word of God.
00:19:03And armies which were in heaven followed him upon white robes.
00:19:06Clothed in white linen, white and clean.
00:19:08And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword with it.
00:19:11He should smite the nations and shall rule them with a rod of iron.
00:19:15And he treadeth the winepress of fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God.
00:19:19And he had on his vesture and on his tie a name written.
00:19:23And king of kings and lord of lords.
00:19:25And I saw an angel standing in the sun.
00:19:27And he cried with a loud voice saying to all the fowls that are all flying in the midst of heaven.
00:19:32Come and gather yourselves unto the supper of the great God.
00:19:36That you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of captains.
00:19:39And the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and them that sit on them.
00:19:44And the flesh of all men both free and bond both small and great.
00:19:48So what we see here is when Jesus Christ is third coming.
00:19:52If you've got to put a number on it.
00:19:53It's not a second coming.
00:19:54This is his third coming.
00:19:56When he comes when the armies of the heaven are with him.
00:20:00We will be with him.
00:20:02Behind him.
00:20:04We don't have to lift a finger.
00:20:06He does it all.
00:20:07And he kills every single person.
00:20:09It's at the battle of Armageddon.
00:20:10And when he does that all these birds eat the flesh of all these dead men.
00:20:15Then go to Jeremiah 46.
00:20:27Again we saw in that chapter.
00:20:29Talking about a future.
00:20:31The more future event.
00:20:32Way in the future.
00:20:33Then an event that was going to happen to the nation of Judah.
00:20:37And then a more future event.
00:20:38At the end times when the birds at the battle of Armageddon.
00:20:42Armageddon.
00:20:43Jeremiah 46 verse 10.
00:20:48For this is the day of the Lord God of hosts.
00:20:52A day of vengeance.
00:20:54That he may avenge him and his adversaries.
00:20:56And the sword shall devour.
00:20:58And it shall be satiated.
00:20:59And made drunk with their blood.
00:21:01For the Lord God of hosts.
00:21:02Have they sacrificed in the north country by the river Euphrates.
00:21:07Again this is probably the future.
00:21:09We know that Jeremiah when he was prophesying.
00:21:13It was at the time of the captivity.
00:21:16Right before the captivity.
00:21:18When it was going on.
00:21:20Isaiah was way further in the future than that.
00:21:23Jeremiah was closer to the time of captivity.
00:21:27When he's preaching and prophesying about it.
00:21:30Go up to Gilead and take balm of virgin the daughter of Egypt in vain.
00:21:35Thou shalt use medicines for thou shalt not be cured.
00:21:37So he's saying look.
00:21:38You're going to die of pestilence.
00:21:40There's going to be diseases.
00:21:42You're going to.
00:21:42You can take all the medicine you want.
00:21:44It doesn't matter.
00:21:44You're still going to die.
00:21:46The nations have heard of thy shame.
00:21:48And thy cry hath filled the land.
00:21:50For thy mighty man has stumbled against the mighty.
00:21:53And are fallen both together.
00:21:55The word of the Lord spake to Jeremiah the prophet.
00:22:01How Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt.
00:22:05Declare ye in Egypt.
00:22:06And publish in Migdal.
00:22:09And publish in Noph and Tappanese.
00:22:13Say ye stand fast and prepare thee for the sword shall devour round about thee.
00:22:18While thy valiant man swept away.
00:22:20Why stood not because the Lord did drive them.
00:22:26And he made many to fall.
00:22:27Yea one fell upon another.
00:22:29And they said arise and let us go again to our people.
00:22:32And to the land of our nativity.
00:22:34For the oppressing sword.
00:22:37So this is not something way in the future.
00:22:40This is what's going to happen to Egypt.
00:22:44What's going to happen to the nation of Judah also.
00:22:48When Nebuchadnezzar comes in there.
00:22:49So Nebuchadnezzar obviously he also took out Egypt also with the nation of Judah.
00:22:59The next one go to Lamentations chapter 2.
00:23:03So again what I'm trying to show you is that you've got to take it in context.
00:23:09You've got to look at what's being said.
00:23:11And if you want to know if it's going to be a future event.
00:23:14Like in the future for us.
00:23:16You've got to understand what it says in the New Testament.
00:23:22Lamentations 2.22
00:23:23That has caused it a solemn day.
00:23:30My terror is round about.
00:23:31So that in the day of the Lord's anger.
00:23:34None escape nor remain.
00:23:36Those that have swaddled and brought up have mine enemy consumed.
00:23:40So when you read this and you go up.
00:23:43Let's go to verse 15 and get the context of it.
00:23:46This could be talking about the Lord's anger at the end of the times.
00:23:50Or it could just be talking about the Lamentations as Jeremiah is writing this.
00:23:55Lamentations means he's crying and he's sad for his nation.
00:24:00The nation of Judah.
00:24:00Look at verse 15.
00:24:01All that pass by, clap their hands at thee.
00:24:05They hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem saying.
00:24:08Is this the city that men call?
00:24:10The perfection of the beauty, the joy of the whole earth?
00:24:13All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee.
00:24:15They hiss and gnash the teeth.
00:24:17They say we have swallowed her up.
00:24:19Certainly this is the day that we look.
00:24:21For we have found.
00:24:22We have seen it.
00:24:24The Lord hath done that which he hath devised.
00:24:27He hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of the old.
00:24:32He hath thrown down and hath not pitied.
00:24:35So it's saying that this has already been fulfilled.
00:24:39So we know this is after the Babylonian captivity.
00:24:44We're not after the captivity because that's the Ezekiel.
00:24:47We know that the nation of Babylon has already come in and attacked the nation of Judah.
00:24:52They've already killed the people that would try to fight against them.
00:24:55Because God clearly told them if they come in, when they come in to take you, give up.
00:25:02Give up.
00:25:03Surrender.
00:25:04And I will take care of you.
00:25:06You'll be in captivity but I will take care of you.
00:25:08The ones that resisted, they were stabbed.
00:25:10They were killed with the sword.
00:25:12They got pestilences.
00:25:14They got diseases.
00:25:15So we know that this is what happened.
00:25:18Because he said what?
00:25:19Has fulfilled his word.
00:25:22Now go to Ezekiel 13.
00:25:24Ezekiel 13.
00:25:25Look at verse 1.
00:25:33So we know that Ezekiel is during the time of the captivity.
00:25:38And in the book of Daniel it is during the time of the captivity.
00:25:41And the word of the Lord came unto me saying, Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy.
00:25:49And say unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the Lord.
00:25:54Thus saith the Lord God, woe unto the foolish prophets that have followed their own spirit and have seen nothing.
00:26:00O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the desert.
00:26:05Ye have gone, not gone up in the gaps, neither made up the hedge of the house of Israel to stand in the battle on the day of the Lord.
00:26:13Go down to verse 9.
00:26:15And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity and that divine lies.
00:26:25They shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter the land of Israel.
00:26:33And ye shall know that I am the Lord God, because even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace, and there is no peace.
00:26:43And one built up a wall, and lo, others daubed it with untempered mortar, saying to them which daubed it with untempered mortar, that it shall fall.
00:26:54There shall be an overflowing shower, and ye shall, O great hailstones shall fall, and a stormy wind shall rend it.
00:27:00Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, where is the daubing which they have daubed it?
00:27:06So what it's talking about is untempered mortar.
00:27:10What does that mean?
00:27:11It's just talking about, you know, kind of like concrete or anything like that, not concrete, because it wasn't created then.
00:27:18But mortar that they would put used, they would temper it to make it stronger.
00:27:22They would put some kind of reinforcement in it, some kind of metal or something that would reinforce it.
00:27:28If they just took bricks and didn't do that, then the wall wasn't as strong.
00:27:35So they're thinking that they're okay, because they're saying peace and safety.
00:27:39Just like in the future event, they're going to say peace and safety when the Antichrist comes.
00:27:46But a long time ago, I actually wrote under verse 10, pre-trib rapture lie, because that's what they're going to say during the pre-trib, pre-tributation rapture.
00:27:57They're saying it now that, oh, well, Jesus, you know, he's not going to come.
00:28:03The Antichrist has already been.
00:28:05There's no Antichrist.
00:28:06Don't worry about it.
00:28:07That's what people are saying now, because they're going to tell you that there's peace, but there's not going to be any peace.
00:28:14When the Antichrist comes, there's not going to be a peace.
00:28:17We need to understand this, because people are going to be relaxed.
00:28:23They're going to be relaxed at a point in time where they're going to think, hey, there's nothing going to happen to us.
00:28:27We're good to go.
00:28:28Just like the nation of Judah, they thought that.
00:28:31They thought nothing can attack us.
00:28:33We got God on our side, which they did not have God on their side.
00:28:36God kept telling them, I'm going to punish you.
00:28:38I'm going to punish you.
00:28:39You're going to get punished.
00:28:41They did not believe them.
00:28:42We as Christians need to believe that God is telling us there's going to be something that happens.
00:28:48And when the Antichrist comes, you know, how do you know that you're not there?
00:28:52Because did you have to dodge bullets to get to church today?
00:28:56You did not.
00:28:56You did not have to dodge a weapon or a bomb or anything like that.
00:29:01There's going to be a war that's going to happen.
00:29:04And it's going to be bad.
00:29:05It's going to be a world war.
00:29:07And then that's when the peace and safety is going to come.
00:29:09All the nations are going to come together.
00:29:12You can read that in Revelation 6.
00:29:13That's what we see.
00:29:15So that's not happening anytime soon.
00:29:17But it could happen because we know that when things start to happen, just like I've told you, it's going to happen quickly.
00:29:24There's not going to be years and years that's going to start happening.
00:29:27And this is three and a half years of the tribulation.
00:29:30We know that.
00:29:31Go to Joel 1.
00:29:35Keep going to the right of your Bible.
00:29:37You go to Daniel, Jonah, Micah, Habakkuk.
00:29:41I think I passed it myself.
00:29:43Daniel, Hosea, and then Joel.
00:29:53So a lot of times these prophets, Daniel, Ezekiel, Joel, Zephaniah, Zechariah, you can always tell what the time is by reading the first verse.
00:30:17You know, they don't tell you the year or nothing like that, but they do tell you the time frame, who's in charge.
00:30:23They don't really do it in Joel, but you just have to know when it is.
00:30:27But some of them like Obadiah and Isaiah and Laman, they'll tell you so-and-so is the king of Judah.
00:30:33So-and-so is the king of Israel.
00:30:35And you can do that by going back to Chronicles or Kings and find out when that time is.
00:30:43Look at Joel 1.15.
00:30:47Alas, for the day, for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as the destruction of the Almighty shall come.
00:30:54So we're saying that, he's saying, alas, the day is coming.
00:30:57So we don't know from this, is he talking about a more future event, or is he talking about what's going to happen to the nation of Judah?
00:31:04Go down to Joel 2.1.
00:31:06Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound alarm in my holy mountain.
00:31:10Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand.
00:31:17So again, it could be a future event, but a more future event.
00:31:20Let's keep reading.
00:31:21And a day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains of great people and are strong.
00:31:29There hath not been ever the light, neither shall it be any more of it, even to the years of many generations.
00:31:36So now we know that in verse 2, it's probably talking about the more future event.
00:31:42Because we know that during the time, the great judgment of God, where he destroys the people of this world, it's never going to happen again.
00:31:50It's going to be a one-time event.
00:31:53A fire devoureth before them, and behind them is a flame burneth.
00:31:57The land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness.
00:32:03Yea, and nothing shall escape them.
00:32:07The appearance of them is the appearance of horses and a horseman.
00:32:11So shall they run, like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap,
00:32:15like the noise of a flame of fire.
00:32:19That devoureth the stubbles, the strong people sit in battle array.
00:32:23Before their face the people shall be much pained, all faces shall gather blackness.
00:32:28They shall run like mighty men.
00:32:30They shall climb the wall like men of war.
00:32:32They shall march every one on his ways,
00:32:35and they shall not break their ranks.
00:32:37Neither shall one thrust another.
00:32:39They shall walk every one in his path,
00:32:41and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
00:32:44They shall not run to and fro in the city.
00:32:47They shall run upon the wall, and they shall climb upon the houses.
00:32:50They shall enter into windows like a thief.
00:32:52So, we're seeing an event where somebody gets stabbed and they're not wounded?
00:32:58Now, I don't know what that means.
00:33:00Is that some kind of robot in the future?
00:33:05Because, let's keep reading.
00:33:07We see that the event that Joel's talking about
00:33:10is where nobody can get away from these people.
00:33:13And they shall run to and fro in the city,
00:33:16and they shall run upon the wall,
00:33:19and they shall climb upon the houses.
00:33:22So, when you think about that,
00:33:24that's not a human being, folks.
00:33:25Nobody's climbing walls like some kind of spider monkey,
00:33:29but do they have some kind of device in the future?
00:33:32Is this something that Joel's seeing in the future like John does,
00:33:35and he can't explain it, that something's climbing up a wall?
00:33:38Could some kind of robot or artificial intelligence,
00:33:42some kind of robot?
00:33:43You know, I saw where there's other countries out there
00:33:47that have animals that are robots
00:33:49that are taking care of them,
00:33:52and that could be something like that.
00:33:53They could climb up a wall.
00:33:54Let's keep reading.
00:33:58Shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
00:34:01You know, is that some kind of a drone or something that we see?
00:34:05And it looks like it's climbing,
00:34:06but they don't know anything about flying.
00:34:09You know, I don't know.
00:34:10I'm telling, I'm just asking the question.
00:34:12The earth shall quake before them,
00:34:14the heavens shall tremble,
00:34:16and the sun and the moon shall be dark.
00:34:17So now we know it is a future event.
00:34:20We know that this is Revelation 6,
00:34:23at the sixth seal,
00:34:25when God makes the sun stop shining,
00:34:29and the heavens tremble,
00:34:30and the stars fall out like figs.
00:34:33And the Lord shall utter his voice
00:34:35before his army.
00:34:38For his camp is very great.
00:34:40For he is strong that executes his word.
00:34:42For the dead Lord is great and very terrible.
00:34:45Who can abide it?
00:34:47So now we see that it's talking about
00:34:50a more future event
00:34:51of where Jesus Christ,
00:34:53at the battle of Armageddon,
00:34:55or this could be even further in the future,
00:34:58when Satan's released
00:35:03after the thousand year reign of Christ,
00:35:08where he destroys everything.
00:35:10So we know this is a future event.
00:35:12We don't really know,
00:35:12but we know because the sun's going to be darkened
00:35:14and all these things,
00:35:15that this is the judgment of Christ
00:35:18at that time.
00:35:20Go down to verse 27.
00:35:22And you shall know that I am
00:35:26in the midst of Israel,
00:35:29and that I am the Lord your God,
00:35:31and none else,
00:35:32and my people shall never be ashamed.
00:35:35And it shall come to pass afterward
00:35:36that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh,
00:35:39and your sons and your daughters
00:35:42shall prophesy,
00:35:43your old men shall dream dreams,
00:35:45and your young men shall see visions,
00:35:47and also upon the servants
00:35:49and upon the handmaids in those days
00:35:51will I pour out my spirit,
00:35:53and I will show wonders in heaven,
00:35:55and the earth of blood and fire,
00:35:56and pillars of smoke.
00:35:58The sun shall be turned into darkness,
00:35:59and the moon into blood,
00:36:01before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.
00:36:03And it shall come to pass
00:36:05that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
00:36:06shall be delivered,
00:36:08for in the Mount Zion in Jerusalem
00:36:10shall be deliverance,
00:36:12as the Lord has said,
00:36:13and the remnant for the Lord shall cast.
00:36:15So when you read this,
00:36:16you see several things going on,
00:36:18don't you?
00:36:18You see about Jesus Christ,
00:36:20His first coming,
00:36:21because it says that the nation of Zion
00:36:24and Jerusalem shall be deliverance.
00:36:26What is it talking about?
00:36:27It's talking about Jesus Christ's first coming.
00:36:30When He comes,
00:36:31and He becomes the,
00:36:34being crucified,
00:36:36but then in verse 30,
00:36:37what do you see?
00:36:38Blood and earth and fire
00:36:40and pillars of smoke.
00:36:41We see that in God's judgment.
00:36:43But then also we see,
00:36:44go to Acts 2.
00:36:45So I found this interesting
00:36:50because there's several things,
00:36:52talking about several events
00:36:53that are in the future.
00:36:56Some of them have already happened.
00:36:58Obviously the first coming of Christ
00:36:59has already happened.
00:37:00The death, burial, and resurrection
00:37:01has already happened.
00:37:02But in Acts 2,
00:37:03we see something else that's already happened.
00:37:08Look at Acts 2, verse 16.
00:37:10But this is that
00:37:17which was spoken by the prophet Joel.
00:37:19What is this?
00:37:20This is the day of Pentecost.
00:37:21This is 50 days
00:37:22after Christ was resurrected.
00:37:25And it shall come to pass
00:37:26in the last day,
00:37:27said God,
00:37:27I will pour out my spirit
00:37:28upon all flesh,
00:37:29and your sons and your daughters
00:37:31shall prophesy,
00:37:32and your young men
00:37:34shall see visions,
00:37:35and your old men
00:37:35shall see dreams.
00:37:36That's what we saw in Joel.
00:37:38And of my servants
00:37:39and of my handmaids
00:37:40I'll pour out in those days
00:37:41of my spirit,
00:37:42and they shall prophesy,
00:37:43and I'll show wonders in heaven
00:37:45above and signs in the earth beneath,
00:37:47blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
00:37:49The sun shall be turned into darkness
00:37:50and moon to blood
00:37:51before that day,
00:37:53great and notable day
00:37:54of the Lord come.
00:37:55And it shall come to pass
00:37:56that whosoever shall call upon
00:37:58the name of the Lord
00:37:58shall be saved.
00:37:59So we know that
00:38:00when Jesus Christ died on the cross,
00:38:02what happened?
00:38:03For three hours,
00:38:04there was no sun.
00:38:06There was no moon.
00:38:07Nothing.
00:38:07It was darkness.
00:38:09But we also know
00:38:10that in a future event,
00:38:12more future,
00:38:12that when Jesus comes
00:38:13at his second coming,
00:38:15that there will be,
00:38:17the stars will give no light,
00:38:19the moon is going to turn blood red,
00:38:21and the sun is not going to shine.
00:38:24So we know these things.
00:38:26That's what's great about Joel
00:38:27is there's a future event.
00:38:29Go to Joel 3.
00:38:33Keep your finger on Joel
00:38:34because we're going to go
00:38:35back and forth on Joel.
00:38:37Joel 3,
00:38:42verse 13.
00:38:48It says,
00:38:49Put ye in the sickle,
00:38:50for the harvest is ripe.
00:38:52Come,
00:38:52get you down,
00:38:53for the press is full,
00:38:55the fats overflow,
00:38:56for the wickedness is great.
00:38:58So a sickle is just a sharp instrument
00:39:00that they use to cut wheat.
00:39:01They use to cut wheat
00:39:03and they take the wheat
00:39:04and they grind it up
00:39:05on a millstone.
00:39:06These are the words you see
00:39:07in the Bible,
00:39:08millstone,
00:39:09sickle,
00:39:11wheat.
00:39:11When they cut the wheat
00:39:12then they have to shake out
00:39:14the chaff from the wheat.
00:39:16We know that the story
00:39:17of God separating the chaff
00:39:19from the wheat.
00:39:19So you take the wheat
00:39:21and you put it on a stone
00:39:23and you have an animal
00:39:24grind it into dust
00:39:26to make flour.
00:39:28That's how they made flour.
00:39:31But that's what it's talking about.
00:39:32Take the sickle
00:39:33and thrust it.
00:39:37Put ye in the sickle,
00:39:38multitudes,
00:39:39multitudes,
00:39:40in the valley of decision,
00:39:42for the day of the Lord
00:39:43is near
00:39:43in the valley of decision.
00:39:47And the sun and moon
00:39:48shall be darkened
00:39:49and the star
00:39:49shall withdraw her shining.
00:39:51The Lord also
00:39:52shall roar out of Zion,
00:39:53his utter voice
00:39:54from Jerusalem.
00:39:54And the heavens and the earth
00:39:56shall shake,
00:39:56but the Lord
00:39:57will be the hope
00:39:58of his people
00:39:59and the strength
00:39:59of his children of Israel.
00:40:01So shall you know
00:40:02that I am the Lord
00:40:03your God
00:40:04dwelling in Zion,
00:40:05my holy mountain.
00:40:06There shall no strangers
00:40:07pass through her anymore.
00:40:08Keep your finger there
00:40:09in Joel
00:40:09and go to Revelation 6.
00:40:15We're going to be
00:40:15going back and forth
00:40:16from Joel to Revelation.
00:40:17So we see again
00:40:20that it talks about
00:40:21the sun not giving us light.
00:40:23Look at Revelation 6, 12.
00:40:26Now, we were not there
00:40:28when the nation of Judah
00:40:30was being judged.
00:40:31Could the sun gone black?
00:40:33We don't know.
00:40:34But we know that there's
00:40:35a future event
00:40:36when it's talking about
00:40:37the whole earth
00:40:39being darkened
00:40:40that we know
00:40:41that is a future event
00:40:43of Jesus' second coming.
00:40:45Right before he comes
00:40:46in the clouds,
00:40:47he's getting people's attention.
00:40:48Look at Revelation 6, 12.
00:40:50For we wrestle
00:40:52in Ephesians.
00:40:55Revelation 6,
00:40:56this is the seven seals
00:40:59that we see.
00:41:03And I beheld
00:41:04and he had opened
00:41:04the sixth seal
00:41:05and there was a great earthquake.
00:41:08So the whole earth
00:41:09is quaking.
00:41:10We see now
00:41:10that there's earthquakes
00:41:11in California,
00:41:13in India,
00:41:14in all these places,
00:41:15but the whole earth
00:41:16is going to shake.
00:41:17God's going to shake
00:41:18the whole earth
00:41:19to get our attention.
00:41:21And the sun
00:41:22became black
00:41:23as sackcloth of hair.
00:41:25So if you had
00:41:25dark black hair
00:41:26and you put it
00:41:27in a sackcloth,
00:41:28that's how dark
00:41:28it would be,
00:41:29which is pretty dark.
00:41:31And the moon
00:41:32became as blood.
00:41:33So this is your blood moon.
00:41:35You keep talking,
00:41:35hear people talking
00:41:36about the blood moons,
00:41:37this,
00:41:37the blood moons,
00:41:38that folks,
00:41:39a lot of things
00:41:40have to happen before that.
00:41:42And the stars of heaven
00:41:43fell into the earth
00:41:44and as a fig tree
00:41:44cast their untimely figs.
00:41:46So if you went
00:41:46and shook a fig tree,
00:41:48and the figs fell out
00:41:49before they were ripe,
00:41:51because they will fall
00:41:52when they're ripe,
00:41:53that's what it's talking about.
00:41:54The shaking of a mighty wind.
00:41:56And the heaven
00:41:56departed as a scroll.
00:41:58And we've seen that already
00:41:59in some of these things.
00:42:00It's talking about
00:42:00the heaven departing
00:42:01as a scroll
00:42:01as it would roll together.
00:42:04So if you see the heaven
00:42:05just kind of folding back
00:42:07is what it's talking about.
00:42:08And every mountain
00:42:09and island were moved
00:42:10out of its place.
00:42:12So these are
00:42:13events
00:42:15that are supernatural
00:42:17for the heavens
00:42:19to roll out
00:42:20like a scroll.
00:42:21You may see clouds moving.
00:42:23But then for you
00:42:23to see mountains
00:42:24moving out of the way
00:42:25and rolling out.
00:42:27And the kings of the earth
00:42:28and the great men
00:42:29and rich men
00:42:30and the chief captains
00:42:31and the mighty men
00:42:32and every bond man
00:42:33and every free man
00:42:34hid themselves
00:42:35in the dens
00:42:36and in the rocks
00:42:37and the mountains.
00:42:38And they said
00:42:38in the mountains and rocks,
00:42:40fall on us
00:42:40and hide us
00:42:41from the face of him
00:42:42that sitteth on the throne
00:42:44talking about Jesus
00:42:45and talking about God the Father
00:42:47and from the wrath of the Lamb
00:42:50talking about Jesus
00:42:51for the great day
00:42:53of his wrath
00:42:53is come
00:42:54and who shall be able to stand.
00:42:55We keep constantly seeing that
00:42:57when it's talking about
00:42:58who can stand
00:42:59at his great day
00:43:00of his wrath.
00:43:01Go back to Joel
00:43:01chapter 3.
00:43:05Look at verse 18.
00:43:08And it shall come to pass
00:43:09in that day
00:43:10that the mountain
00:43:10shall drop down new wind
00:43:12and we see that
00:43:13that it's all about
00:43:13dropping down.
00:43:17And the rivers of Judah
00:43:18shall flow with waters
00:43:19and the mountains
00:43:20shall come forth
00:43:20out of the land
00:43:21Lord
00:43:22and shall water
00:43:23the valley of Shittim.
00:43:25Egypt shall be a desolation
00:43:27and Edom shall be
00:43:27a desolate wilderness
00:43:28for the violence
00:43:29against the children of Judah
00:43:30because they have shed
00:43:31innocent blood
00:43:32in their land.
00:43:33So again we see it
00:43:34going back to
00:43:34the nation of Judah itself.
00:43:37But go to Revelation 14.
00:43:39When we saw about
00:43:42the sickle
00:43:43look at verse 14
00:43:47of chapter 14
00:43:49of Revelation.
00:43:49Keep your finger in joy.
00:43:51And I looked and behold
00:43:52a white cloud
00:43:53and upon a cloud
00:43:54one sat like him
00:43:55upon the Son of Man.
00:43:56So that's
00:43:57obviously
00:43:58Jesus coming in the cloud.
00:44:00He's the Son of Man.
00:44:01He's called that
00:44:02over ninety-something times
00:44:03in the New Testament.
00:44:04And on his head
00:44:06a golden crown
00:44:07and in his hand
00:44:09a sharp sickle.
00:44:11And another angel
00:44:12came out of the temple
00:44:13saying out
00:44:14with a loud voice to him
00:44:15that sat on the cloud
00:44:16thrust in thy sickle
00:44:18and reap
00:44:19for the time has come
00:44:20for thee
00:44:21to reap
00:44:22for the harvest
00:44:22of the earth
00:44:23is ripe.
00:44:24And he sat on the cloud
00:44:25thrust in the sickle
00:44:27of the earth
00:44:27and the earth
00:44:28was reaped.
00:44:29And another angel
00:44:30came out of the temple
00:44:31which is in heaven
00:44:32and also having
00:44:32a sharp sickle.
00:44:34And another angel
00:44:34came out from the altar
00:44:35which had power
00:44:36over fire
00:44:37and cried
00:44:38with a loud cry
00:44:39to him
00:44:39that had the sharp sickle
00:44:41saying
00:44:41thrust in thy sharp sickle
00:44:43and gather the clusters
00:44:44of the vine
00:44:45of the earth
00:44:46for grapes
00:44:47are fully ripe.
00:44:48And the angel
00:44:49thrust in the sickle
00:44:50into the earth
00:44:51and gathered
00:44:52the vine of the earth
00:44:53and cast it
00:44:53into the great winepress
00:44:54of the wrath
00:44:55of God.
00:44:57And the winepress
00:44:57was trodden
00:44:58without deceding
00:44:59and the blood
00:44:59came out of the winepress
00:45:00even a horse
00:45:01bridles
00:45:02at a space
00:45:03of a thousand
00:45:03and six hundred
00:45:04furlongs.
00:45:05Which is
00:45:06two hundred miles.
00:45:08So the Bible
00:45:10is explaining
00:45:10a situation
00:45:12of when Jesus
00:45:12comes
00:45:13and his second
00:45:13coming
00:45:14that the angels
00:45:16are going to
00:45:16the rapture
00:45:18is going to be
00:45:19like taking a sickle
00:45:20and taking the good
00:45:22the saved people
00:45:23out
00:45:24and leaving
00:45:25the chaff.
00:45:27The chaff
00:45:27is no good.
00:45:28The weed is good.
00:45:29The chaff
00:45:29is no good.
00:45:30They burn the chaff.
00:45:32And that's what
00:45:32it's describing.
00:45:33So in the book
00:45:34of Joel
00:45:35he's talking
00:45:36about that
00:45:36talking about
00:45:37a sickle
00:45:37that the Lord
00:45:38is going to
00:45:38do that.
00:45:39But also
00:45:40he's talking
00:45:40about the future
00:45:42event
00:45:42so it goes
00:45:44back and forth
00:45:45go to Revelation
00:45:4621
00:45:46So we saw
00:45:49something about
00:45:50the
00:45:51that the mountains
00:45:57that things
00:45:58are going to
00:45:59happen in the future.
00:45:59So look at
00:46:00Revelation 21
00:46:01verse 9
00:46:03And there came
00:46:06unto me
00:46:07the seven angels
00:46:08which had the
00:46:08seven vials
00:46:09full of the
00:46:10seven last plagues
00:46:11and taught with me
00:46:11saying come hither
00:46:12I will show thee
00:46:13the bride
00:46:14the lamb's wife.
00:46:16So the lamb
00:46:17is Jesus Christ
00:46:18we know that
00:46:19he's the
00:46:19groomsman
00:46:20he's the one
00:46:24being married
00:46:25and he's going
00:46:25to be married
00:46:26to the wife
00:46:28and who is that
00:46:29and he carried me
00:46:30away in the spirit
00:46:31and the great
00:46:31high mountain
00:46:32and showed me
00:46:33that great city
00:46:34the holy Jerusalem
00:46:35descending out of
00:46:35the heaven of God
00:46:36the heaven from God
00:46:38having the glory of God
00:46:39and her light
00:46:39was like a stone
00:46:41precious
00:46:42even like a
00:46:43jasper stone.
00:46:44So we see that
00:46:45the new Jerusalem
00:46:47sometimes when it's
00:46:48talking about Jerusalem
00:46:49being in Jerusalem
00:46:51and not having to
00:46:51worry about battle
00:46:52and all the believers
00:46:54being there
00:46:54this is the new Jerusalem.
00:46:56Go back to Joel 3.
00:46:59Keep your finger
00:47:00in Revelation
00:47:01we're going right
00:47:01back there.
00:47:03So it says
00:47:05the Lord
00:47:06I go to verse 16
00:47:07and the Lord
00:47:08shall roar out of Zion
00:47:09and utter his voice
00:47:10from Jerusalem
00:47:11and the heavens
00:47:11and the earth
00:47:12shall shake
00:47:12but the Lord
00:47:13would be the hope
00:47:13of his people
00:47:14and the strength
00:47:15of the children
00:47:16of Israel
00:47:17so shall you know
00:47:18that I am the Lord
00:47:19your God
00:47:19dwelling in Zion
00:47:20my holy mountain
00:47:21then shall Jerusalem
00:47:22be holy
00:47:23and there shall be
00:47:24no strangers
00:47:25pass through here
00:47:25anymore.
00:47:26So we know
00:47:27this is a future event
00:47:28way in the future
00:47:29where we're all living
00:47:30in the new Jerusalem
00:47:31or in heaven
00:47:32because there's not
00:47:33going to be any strangers
00:47:34everybody's going to be
00:47:35saved
00:47:35everybody's going to be
00:47:36saved in heaven
00:47:37so it's not going to be
00:47:38any stranger
00:47:39because look at verse 18
00:47:40shall it come to pass
00:47:41in that day
00:47:42that a mountain
00:47:43shall drop down
00:47:43new wine
00:47:44and the hills
00:47:45shall flow with milk
00:47:46and the rivers of Judah
00:47:47shall flow with waters
00:47:48and a fountain
00:47:50shall come out
00:47:51of the house of the Lord
00:47:52and shall water
00:47:53the valley of Shittim
00:47:54Egypt shall be
00:47:55a desolation
00:47:56and Edom
00:47:56shall be a desolate
00:47:57wilderness
00:47:58for the violence
00:47:59against the children
00:47:59of Judah
00:48:00because they have
00:48:00shed innocent blood
00:48:02in their land
00:48:02but Judah
00:48:03shall dwell forever
00:48:05and Jerusalem
00:48:06from generation
00:48:07to generation
00:48:07for I will cleanse
00:48:08their blood
00:48:09that have not
00:48:10cleansed
00:48:11for the Lord
00:48:11dwelleth in Zion
00:48:13so it goes back
00:48:14and forth
00:48:15it's saying that
00:48:15the nation of Judah
00:48:16is going to be judged
00:48:18but also it comes back
00:48:19to the new Jerusalem
00:48:21if you will
00:48:22go to Revelation 22
00:48:23that it's talking about
00:48:27how do we know that
00:48:28well it's talking about
00:48:29a river
00:48:30coming out
00:48:31of the throne
00:48:32of God
00:48:33look at Revelation 22
00:48:341
00:48:34and he showed me
00:48:36a pure river
00:48:36of water of life
00:48:37clear as crystal
00:48:38proceeding out of
00:48:39the throne of God
00:48:40and out of the lamb
00:48:42and in the midst
00:48:43of the street of it
00:48:44and on either side
00:48:45of the river
00:48:45was there a tree of life
00:48:47which bear twelve
00:48:48many
00:48:48twelve manner
00:48:50of fruits
00:48:51and the other fruit
00:48:52every month
00:48:52and the leaves
00:48:53of the tree
00:48:53were the healing
00:48:54of the nations
00:48:55so we know
00:48:56this is a more
00:48:57future event
00:48:58when all
00:48:59when the heaven
00:49:00and earth
00:49:00is destroyed
00:49:01there's a new heaven
00:49:02and a new earth
00:49:03and we're living
00:49:04with God
00:49:04in heaven
00:49:05because it's talking
00:49:06about a river
00:49:07clear crystal river
00:49:09coming out
00:49:10of the throne
00:49:11of God
00:49:12go to Amos
00:49:13so you can go back
00:49:14to Joel
00:49:14because we're
00:49:14right here at Amos
00:49:16Amos chapter 5
00:49:19verse 16
00:49:20verse 16
00:49:28it says
00:49:29therefore
00:49:29the Lord
00:49:30the God
00:49:31of hosts
00:49:32the Lord
00:49:32of hosts
00:49:33the Lord
00:49:33does say
00:49:34of wailing
00:49:34shall be
00:49:35in all streets
00:49:36they shall say
00:49:37in all the highways
00:49:37alas alas
00:49:38and they shall call
00:49:39the husband
00:49:39in the morning
00:49:40and such
00:49:41are the skillful
00:49:42lamentation
00:49:42of wailing
00:49:43and all in the vineyard
00:49:44shall be wailing
00:49:45for I will pass
00:49:46through thee
00:49:46said the Lord
00:49:47woe unto thee
00:49:48that desire
00:49:48the day of the Lord
00:49:49to what end
00:49:50is for you
00:49:51the day of the Lord
00:49:52is darkness
00:49:52and not light
00:49:53if a man did flee
00:49:54from a lion
00:49:55and a bear met him
00:49:57or went into the house
00:49:58and leaned his hand
00:49:59on the wall
00:49:59and a serpent
00:50:00bit him
00:50:01so now we're talking
00:50:02about a time
00:50:04where nobody
00:50:05can get away
00:50:06from God
00:50:07nobody can get away
00:50:08from him
00:50:08so think about it
00:50:09if you were
00:50:10a lion was chasing you
00:50:11and you got away
00:50:12from the lion
00:50:13but then you met
00:50:14a bear
00:50:14you're not
00:50:16going to win
00:50:16okay
00:50:17and then it says
00:50:18or you went
00:50:19into a house
00:50:19to get away
00:50:20from something
00:50:21and you lean
00:50:21on your hand
00:50:22on the wall
00:50:23and a serpent
00:50:23bit you
00:50:24that's what it's
00:50:25saying is that
00:50:25at this time
00:50:26God's judgment
00:50:28nobody will get away
00:50:29you can't hide
00:50:30from him
00:50:30just like we saw
00:50:31in what
00:50:31revelation 6
00:50:32where it says
00:50:33hide us
00:50:33from his judgment
00:50:34nobody
00:50:35is going
00:50:36to do that
00:50:37shall not
00:50:38the day of the Lord
00:50:38be darkness
00:50:39or not light
00:50:40even very dark
00:50:41and not brightness
00:50:42at all
00:50:43I hate
00:50:44I despise
00:50:44your feast days
00:50:45I will not smell
00:50:47in your solemn
00:50:48assemblies
00:50:49but you offer me
00:50:50burnt offerings
00:50:51and your meat offerings
00:50:52I will not accept them
00:50:53so this is
00:50:53we went from
00:50:55the time now
00:50:56because we're not doing
00:50:58in the New Testament
00:51:00we're not doing
00:51:01any feast days
00:51:02so we know
00:51:03this is the time
00:51:04of the nation of Judah
00:51:05that God's not accepting
00:51:06his feasts
00:51:06they're not accepting
00:51:08because they're not
00:51:09listening to God
00:51:10they're not
00:51:10obeying him
00:51:12take thou away
00:51:17from the noise
00:51:18of thy songs
00:51:19I will not hear
00:51:20the melody
00:51:20of thy vials
00:51:21talking about violins
00:51:22but let judgment
00:51:23run down as waters
00:51:24and righteousness
00:51:25as a mighty stream
00:51:26you have offered
00:51:27unto me sacrifices
00:51:28and offerings
00:51:28in the wilderness
00:51:29forty years
00:51:30O house of Israel
00:51:31but ye have borne
00:51:32the tabernacle
00:51:33of your Moloch
00:51:34and Chion
00:51:35your image
00:51:36and the star
00:51:37of your God
00:51:38which ye made
00:51:38yourselves
00:51:39just to let you know
00:51:40that's what they call
00:51:41the star of David
00:51:42that's Israel's star
00:51:43there's nothing
00:51:44in the Bible
00:51:45the only thing
00:51:45about a star
00:51:46that they worship
00:51:47is this star
00:51:49there's nothing
00:51:50about a star of David
00:51:51they just want them
00:51:52to take something
00:51:52evil and wicked
00:51:53and make it out
00:51:54to be something godly
00:51:55that's what Israel
00:51:56always does
00:51:57that's what the Jews
00:51:57want to do
00:51:58they want you to
00:51:59bow down to their
00:52:00star of Israel
00:52:01but there is
00:52:02no such thing
00:52:03it's the what
00:52:04the star of your
00:52:05God little G
00:52:06and we see that
00:52:08in Acts
00:52:08we don't have to go
00:52:09but time to go there
00:52:10now go to Obadiah

00:53:00during
00:53:01the time of
00:53:02Isaiah
00:53:04this is when
00:53:04Obadiah was a prophet

00:56:27unto him
00:56:27in Horeb
00:56:28for all
00:56:29Israel
00:56:29with the
00:56:30statutes
00:56:30and judgments
00:56:31behold I
00:56:32will send
00:56:32you Elijah
00:56:33the prophet
00:56:34before the
00:56:35coming of

00:56:35and dreadful
00:56:36day of
00:56:37the Lord
00:56:37and he
00:56:38shall turn
00:56:38the heart
00:56:39of the
00:56:39fathers

00:56:44with
00:56:45a curse
00:56:46keep your
00:56:46finger there
00:56:47and go to
00:56:47Matthew 11
00:56:48Matthew chapter
00:56:5111
00:56:52so it says
00:56:57the great
00:56:58and notable
00:56:58day of the
00:56:59Lord
00:56:59before that
00:57:00comes
00:57:00he's going
00:57:01to send
00:57:01Elijah
00:57:02so if you
00:57:03know anything
00:57:04about Elijah
00:57:04in first
00:57:06kings
00:57:06you'll know
00:57:07that what
00:57:08he was not
00:57:09killed
00:57:09he did not
00:57:10die
00:57:10he was brought
00:57:11into a
00:57:12whirlwind
00:57:13or what
00:57:13we would
00:57:14call a
00:57:14tornado
00:57:14up into
00:57:16heaven
00:57:17Elisha
00:57:17saw that
00:57:18so we
00:57:21know that
00:57:21there's no
00:57:22grave for
00:57:22him or
00:57:23Moses
00:57:23so look
00:57:24at Matthew
00:57:2511
00:57:25verse 11
00:57:28verily
00:57:29verily
00:57:29verily
00:57:29I say
00:57:29to you
00:57:30this is
00:57:30Jesus
00:57:30speaking
00:57:31among them
00:57:31there are
00:57:31born of
00:57:32women
00:57:32that
00:57:32hath not
00:57:33risen
00:57:33greater
00:57:34than
00:57:34John
00:57:35the
00:57:35Baptist
00:57:35notwithstanding
00:57:37he is the least
00:57:38and the kingdom
00:57:38of heaven
00:57:39is greater
00:57:39than he
00:57:40and from the
00:57:41days of
00:57:42John the
00:57:42Baptist
00:57:42until now
00:57:43the kingdom
00:57:44of heaven
00:57:44suffereth
00:57:45violence
00:57:45and the
00:57:46violent
00:57:47take it
00:57:47by force
00:57:48for all
00:57:49the prophets
00:57:50and all
00:57:50and laws
00:57:51prophesied
00:57:52unto
00:57:52John
00:57:53so he's
00:58:03clearly telling
00:58:04us that
00:58:04John the
00:58:05Baptist
00:58:05is that
00:58:06Elijah
00:58:07or Elias
00:58:08as is talked
00:58:08about in the
00:58:09New Testament
00:58:09that is what
00:58:11going to come
00:58:12before Jesus
00:58:13and we know
00:58:14that he's the
00:58:14reed that's
00:58:15going to
00:58:16make the way
00:58:17make the path
00:58:18for Jesus
00:58:18Christ
00:58:18and we know
00:58:19that he's the
00:58:20one that
00:58:20baptized Jesus
00:58:21go to Matthew
00:58:2217
00:58:23couple pages
00:58:24over to the
00:58:25right
00:58:25so I
00:58:28believe that
00:58:29Elijah
00:58:29and Moses
00:58:31are the two
00:58:32witnesses that
00:58:33are going to
00:58:33come
00:58:34why do I

00:59:02and Elias
00:59:04talking with
00:59:05him
00:59:05so at the
00:59:06same time
00:59:07that Jesus
00:59:07changes his
00:59:08body
00:59:09from a
00:59:09man like
00:59:10body
00:59:11to the
00:59:11godly
00:59:12body
00:59:12they see
00:59:13Moses
00:59:14and Elijah
00:59:15at the
00:59:15same
00:59:16time
00:59:16then
00:59:18answered
00:59:18Peter
00:59:19and said
00:59:19unto
00:59:19Jesus
00:59:20Lord
00:59:20it is
00:59:20good
00:59:21for us
00:59:21to be
00:59:21here
00:59:22if thou
00:59:23wilt
00:59:23let us
00:59:23make
00:59:24three
00:59:24tabernacles
00:59:25one for
00:59:26thee
00:59:26and one
00:59:27for
00:59:27Moses
00:59:27and one
00:59:28for
00:59:28Elias
00:59:28and yet
00:59:29he
00:59:29spake
00:59:30and behold
00:59:30a bright
00:59:31cloud
00:59:32overshadowed
00:59:33them
00:59:33and behold
00:59:34a voice
00:59:34out of the
00:59:35cloud
00:59:35which said
00:59:35this is
00:59:36my
00:59:36beloved
00:59:37son
00:59:37and who
00:59:37I am
00:59:38well
00:59:38pleased
00:59:39hear
00:59:39him
00:59:40hear
00:59:40ye
00:59:41him
00:59:41so
00:59:42at the
00:59:43same
00:59:43time
00:59:44that
00:59:44they're
00:59:44seeing
00:59:44Jesus
00:59:45Christ
00:59:45and Elijah
00:59:46and Moses
00:59:47because the
00:59:48Bible clearly
00:59:49tells us
00:59:50in the book
00:59:50of Jude
00:59:51that
00:59:51Satan
00:59:52does not
00:59:53know
00:59:53where the
00:59:53body
00:59:54of
00:59:54Moses
00:59:55is
00:59:56nobody
00:59:56knows
00:59:56we know
00:59:57that
00:59:57Moses
00:59:57went up
00:59:58into the
00:59:58mountains
00:59:58and he
00:59:59looked at
00:59:59the promised
01:00:00land
01:00:00and nobody
01:00:01ever found
01:00:01his body
01:00:02so we
01:00:03don't know
01:00:03what happened
01:00:03to Moses
01:00:04maybe he
01:00:05was translated
01:00:05and brought
01:00:06up into
01:00:07the air
01:00:07like
01:00:08Elijah
01:00:08was
01:00:09but then
01:00:10we see
01:00:10in the
01:00:11in the
01:00:11New
01:00:11Testament
01:00:12in Revelation
01:00:12that these
01:00:13two
01:00:14witnesses
01:00:15when we
01:00:16are being
01:00:16brought up
01:00:17to heaven
01:00:18that at the
01:00:19same time
01:00:20when we're
01:00:20being raptured
01:00:21that the
01:00:2114,000
01:00:22and the
01:00:24two witnesses
01:00:24are being
01:00:25brought down
01:00:25on this
01:00:26earth
01:00:26to give
01:00:27the gospel
01:00:27to the
01:00:28earth
01:00:28that these
01:00:29two witnesses
01:00:30the miracles
01:00:31that they
01:00:31do
01:00:32exactly
01:00:34what they
01:00:34did
01:00:34you see
01:00:35the plagues
01:00:36turning water
01:00:37into blood
01:00:38you see
01:00:39fire coming
01:00:40down from
01:00:40heaven
01:00:41which is
01:00:41what
01:00:41Elijah
01:00:42did
01:00:42to destroy
01:00:43some
01:00:43people
01:00:44these
01:00:45are the
01:00:45same
01:00:45things
01:00:46so I
01:00:46do
01:00:46believe
01:00:46that
01:00:47Moses
01:00:47and Elijah
01:00:48are the
01:00:49two
01:00:49witnesses
01:00:50so when you
01:00:51go to Malachi
01:00:51and it
01:00:52talks about
01:00:52before that
01:00:53great and
01:00:54notable day
01:00:55of the
01:00:55Lord
01:00:56it could
01:00:56be
01:00:57we know
01:00:58that it
01:00:58was definitely
01:00:59when Jesus
01:00:59first coming
01:01:00but then
01:01:00there's a
01:01:01future event
01:01:01of when
01:01:02Jesus
01:01:02second coming
01:01:03that is
01:01:04talking about
