- 0:10SPEAKER_01: So glad everyone joined us for this evening.
- 0:12SPEAKER_01: So welcome.
- 0:13SPEAKER_01: Hey, if you're watching online, especially on Facebook, we're going to be doing some question and answers later.
- 0:19SPEAKER_01: So go ahead and type your questions into the comments as they come up.
- 0:24SPEAKER_01: I'll be monitoring those.
- 0:25SPEAKER_01: If you're here in the auditorium and you have a question, jot it down.
- 0:30SPEAKER_01: Hopefully you brought something right with her.
- 0:31SPEAKER_01: You can tear it off the little sheets that we had out in the lobby and just jot down your question.
- 0:36SPEAKER_01: We'll ask you to raise your hands when it's time and we'll uh pick those up from you.
- 0:41SPEAKER_01: And Patty and I will be up here to answer those questions.
- 0:44SPEAKER_01: Patty will answer.
- 0:45SPEAKER_01: I'll just be handing them to her.
- 0:47SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 0:48SPEAKER_01: I'm going to leave that all to her.
- 0:49SPEAKER_01: If you want to watch the video of this presentation after we're done, it will be on our Facebook feed for Topeka Bible Church or on YouTube.
- 0:58SPEAKER_01: And we'll also keep it on our It's About time page for a couple weeks.
- 1:02SPEAKER_01: So you can always access it there and share it.
- 1:05SPEAKER_01: I want to make sure I cover everything.
- 1:08SPEAKER_01: We have got something coming up that we want to invite you all to come back to.
- 1:12SPEAKER_01: It is August 18th.
- 1:14SPEAKER_01: It's called Fearless Freedom, Focusing on Less.
- 1:18SPEAKER_01: Who could use a little less fear right now?
- 1:20SPEAKER_01: Okay, all of us.
- 1:21SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 1:21SPEAKER_01: Well, we know what the answer is.
- 1:23SPEAKER_01: It's Jesus.
- 1:24SPEAKER_01: But how do we get there?
- 1:25SPEAKER_01: So during this time of stress and the storms and the viruses of life, it is natural to experience fear, yet it's important that we not get stuck in our fear.
- 1:36SPEAKER_01: So Rochelle Walsh is a licensed therapist who will be here to share some strategies for that and to help us come to terms with our fear and overcome it.
- 1:47SPEAKER_01: That's on August 18th, right over here at the College Avenue building.
- 1:50SPEAKER_01: We hope you will join us for that.
- 1:53SPEAKER_01: Well, I think I've covered all the housekeeping duties.
- 1:56SPEAKER_01: I do want to hand it over to my good friend.
- 1:58SPEAKER_01: A lot of you know, Patty Delaberto, it's why you're here.
- 2:02SPEAKER_01: She has been on staff here at TBC for 20 years as the women's ministry director.
- 2:09SPEAKER_01: She knows and loves the word, and she has more than anyone I've ever met, just a real passion for getting women into the word and helping them grow in their faith walk.
- 2:22SPEAKER_01: So she has a bachelor's degree in Bible education from Florida Bible College, and she loves making disciples.
- 2:30SPEAKER_01: And one of her biggest passions is her tiny disciples, her 13 grandchildren, and we've got one on the way too.
- 2:38SPEAKER_01: So please welcome Patty Diliberto.
- 2:46SPEAKER_00: Well, I'm so excited for tonight.
- 2:49SPEAKER_00: I've been looking forward to this, and um thank you for joining us here, and thank you for joining online.
- 2:56SPEAKER_00: And I just um I'm gonna pray right now and ask God to bless our time together.
- 3:00SPEAKER_00: So, Father, God, we thank you so very much for this night, for the things that you um want us to be aware of, and for the way that you have everything planned out and have from eternity past.
- 3:13SPEAKER_00: And so, God, we just ask you to come and manifest yourself here.
- 3:18SPEAKER_00: Show us what each one of us need to see and to understand, and so God, together we bring our hearts and our minds to you and ask you to just come here and bless us this night.
- 3:32SPEAKER_00: And I pray these things in the name of the Lord Jesus.
- 3:35SPEAKER_00: Amen.
- 3:38SPEAKER_00: Well, if you are like many of the women that I have spoken to in the last couple of months, you might be wondering what is really going on.
- 3:46SPEAKER_00: I've had people call and say, can you just really talk to me and tell me what you think is going on?
- 3:52SPEAKER_00: And that's partly what has spurred this night on is just talking with people and saying, you know, everybody's looking for some answers right now.
- 4:02SPEAKER_00: And we want to know what's really going on.
- 4:04SPEAKER_00: You might be wondering if we could be farther along in the end-time events than we even thought that we were, and especially the way things have picked up in the last three or four months.
- 4:16SPEAKER_00: We're all kind of wondering that, especially since January seems like six years ago, right?
- 4:23SPEAKER_00: Because everything has happened.
- 4:24SPEAKER_00: It's been so crazy.
- 4:26SPEAKER_00: I think you'll agree with me that um right now talking about politics is is really divisive in our country, right?
- 4:37SPEAKER_00: And um, so I'm gonna I'm not gonna talk about politics.
- 4:40SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna talk about things that are underneath and behind the politics.
- 4:45SPEAKER_00: But um but I want you to just kind of as we go through questions and answers, we're not gonna go to the right and to the left.
- 4:53SPEAKER_00: We're just gonna stay with where God wants us to be because the point tonight is not to divide, it's to unite us.
- 5:00SPEAKER_00: And and that's what God wants.
- 5:03SPEAKER_00: Um, the purpose of tonight is confirmation and it is hope.
- 5:08SPEAKER_00: That's what I want and hope to bring to you.
- 5:11SPEAKER_00: We need to be keeping our eyes focused on Jesus, the author and the perfecter of our faith.
- 5:17SPEAKER_00: And so that's what we're going to do tonight.
- 5:21SPEAKER_00: I don't have this all figured out.
- 5:23SPEAKER_00: Clearly, obviously.
- 5:25SPEAKER_00: None of us do, right?
- 5:28SPEAKER_00: No one has this all figured out.
- 5:30SPEAKER_00: No one ever will have all of this figured out.
- 5:34SPEAKER_00: There is still mystery.
- 5:36SPEAKER_00: There's always going to be mystery with God.
- 5:40SPEAKER_00: And while he tells us a lot, he doesn't tell us everything.
- 5:44SPEAKER_00: And I think one of the reasons he doesn't tell us everything that's coming down the pike is because we would be living in fear.
- 5:51SPEAKER_00: It would terrify us if we really knew all the details.
- 5:56SPEAKER_00: We don't have to know the details.
- 5:58SPEAKER_00: We just have to know we have a faithful God who is taking care of all those details.
- 6:03SPEAKER_00: But what we can know, we should know.
- 6:06SPEAKER_00: So let's begin.
- 6:07SPEAKER_00: And I'm going to go pretty fast because I have a lot to say.
- 6:12SPEAKER_00: And I hope that I don't run you over, but but we're just going to go with it.
- 6:18SPEAKER_00: We cannot start talking about the end-time events without looking at the nation of Israel and how important all of these events are to Israel.
- 6:30SPEAKER_00: Some 4,000 years ago, God called Abraham, and we see this sevenfold blessing in these verses.
- 6:39SPEAKER_00: The Lord said to Abram, Go from your country, your people, your father's household, to the land I will show you.
- 6:46SPEAKER_00: I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you.
- 6:49SPEAKER_00: I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.
- 6:53SPEAKER_00: I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you, I will curse, and all the peoples on earth will be blessed through you.
- 7:01SPEAKER_00: And then God made a covenant with Abraham.
- 7:05SPEAKER_00: And he tells him, I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you, and your descendants after you, for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.
- 7:22SPEAKER_00: The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you, and I will be their God.
- 7:34SPEAKER_00: So what kind of covenant is this?
- 7:37SPEAKER_00: An everlasting one, right?
- 7:40SPEAKER_00: It's always going to be.
- 7:42SPEAKER_00: Um there's always going to be this covenant.
- 7:46SPEAKER_00: It can never be broken, it is irrevocable, it is firm for all time because God says it.
- 7:52SPEAKER_00: Now, this covenant was not dependent on Abraham and his descendants to keep it.
- 7:57SPEAKER_00: And you hear that in these verses.
- 7:59SPEAKER_00: This covenant was dependent on God keeping his promise to the nation.
- 8:05SPEAKER_00: The Jewish people are his, the nation of Israel is his, the land is his, it's all his, and he has given it to them.
- 8:15SPEAKER_00: He made some covenantal promises then to and declarations to Abraham's son Isaac and to Isaac's son Jacob.
- 8:24SPEAKER_00: And those three promises were the promise of a land, the promise of descendants, and the promise of blessings.
- 8:31SPEAKER_00: God was determining to be faithful to one man and one family so that all the families on earth would be blessed because of them, because Messiah was going to come through this family line, and all the people on earth, all the nations have been and will be blessed because of the Messiah coming to us.
- 8:55SPEAKER_00: If we had time, we could look at Jeremiah chapter 31, verses 35 through 37, which would make it clear, very clear, that Israel will never cease to exist as a nation, and that the nation of Israel will exist as a nation when the Messiah, Jesus, returns at his second coming.
- 9:19SPEAKER_00: In the book of Daniel, we read of a time of great distress or tribulation that the Jewish people will experience before his return.
- 9:32SPEAKER_00: At that time, Daniel says, at that time the archangel Michael, who stands guard over your nation, will arise.
- 9:42SPEAKER_00: Then there will be a time of great anguish, greater than any since nations first came into existence.
- 9:49SPEAKER_00: But at that time, every one of the people whose names are written in the book will be rescued.
- 9:57SPEAKER_00: The term your nation is speaking about Israel.
- 10:00SPEAKER_00: And the phrase at that time is talking about the end times that we are living in.
- 10:06SPEAKER_00: Now this is interesting because rabbis throughout the century have taught that the coming of the Messiah will be preceded by a time of great suffering, and it will be a time period of seven years.
- 10:22SPEAKER_00: This is what the rabbis have taught through the centuries.
- 10:25SPEAKER_00: It's pretty amazing.
- 10:27SPEAKER_00: They call it the birth pains of the Messiah, and sometimes they shorten it to the messianic woes.
- 10:34SPEAKER_00: This is what they anticipate.
- 10:36SPEAKER_00: Seven years of suffering and tribulation before a Messiah comes.
- 10:41SPEAKER_00: How interesting.
- 10:43SPEAKER_00: All of these covenant promises that God made to the patriarchs have been literally and miraculously fulfilled.
- 10:52SPEAKER_00: Humanly speaking, there's just no way that could have happened.
- 10:58SPEAKER_00: They should have ceased to exist long ago, and yet they do exist, and yet they are thriving in the land that God has given them.
- 11:07SPEAKER_00: And in the end times, in the last days, Israel is in the spotlight of all that's going on.
- 11:18SPEAKER_00: The Lord has indeed been faithful to his promises to them.
- 11:23SPEAKER_00: The nation of Israel was divided between the north and the south because of a huge dispute they had with one another.
- 11:31SPEAKER_00: The northern kingdom is called Israel, the southern kingdom is called Judah, and they continued in their disobedience to God, and so God called several nations to come down to attack them and to subdue them, conquer them.
- 11:48SPEAKER_00: The first to fall was the northern kingdom of Israel, and it fell to the Assyrians in 722 BC.
- 11:56SPEAKER_00: Then the Babylonians came and they conquered the Assyrians, took over their land, and then they came down and they took over the land of Judah, the tribe of Judah, in 605 BC.
- 12:09SPEAKER_00: The people were carried into captivity and they settled there.
- 12:13SPEAKER_00: The majority of the people were taken away into captivity, and they became acclimated to that environment, to that foreign, in that foreign nation that they were carried off to.
- 12:26SPEAKER_00: Very few of the Jewish people came back when Ezra, Nehemiah, and Zerubbabel came back to rebuild the city.
- 12:34SPEAKER_00: Very few of them.
- 12:35SPEAKER_00: We know that some of them withheld from being assimilated, and that would have been Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who wouldn't bow to the kings of Babylonia and to the gods of Babylonia.
- 12:50SPEAKER_00: It was interesting too because during this time, the Jewish people who were relocated in the exile period, they built synagogues so that they could keep their Jewish heritage alive.
- 13:03SPEAKER_00: And that would play a very significant part and role whenever the um when the church was born.
- 13:10SPEAKER_00: But another remarkable prediction is through the prophet I the Prophet Ezekiel.
- 13:18SPEAKER_00: Sorry, there we go.
- 13:31SPEAKER_00: Oh yes, yes, I am.
- 13:33SPEAKER_00: Sorry.
- 13:35SPEAKER_00: Okay, there we are.
- 13:38SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
- 13:39SPEAKER_00: Reverse.
- 13:40SPEAKER_00: Beep, beep, beep.
- 13:42SPEAKER_00: Go the other way.
- 13:43SPEAKER_00: So through the prophet Ezekiel, God tells about a future regarding them, a future regathering.
- 13:50SPEAKER_00: After many days, you will be summoned in the latter years, you will come to a land restored from the ravages of war, with many peoples gathered on the mountains of Israel that had long been in ruins.
- 14:04SPEAKER_00: Its people were brought out from the peoples, and all of them were living in insecurity.
- 14:11SPEAKER_00: Securely.
- 14:12SPEAKER_00: Notice that it's after many days, and it's in the latter days.
- 14:16SPEAKER_00: And so this is talking about the end times.
- 14:19SPEAKER_00: In another prediction, we read these words in Isaiah.
- 14:24SPEAKER_00: In that day, the Lord will reach out, reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant of his people from Assyria, from the lower Egypt, from Utber Egypt, from Cush, from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath and from the islands of the Mediterranean.
- 14:44SPEAKER_00: He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel.
- 14:49SPEAKER_00: He will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth.
- 14:55SPEAKER_00: Against all odds, approximately 1900 years away from their homeland, Israel became a nation once again on May 14th, 1948.
- 15:08SPEAKER_00: A glorious day, fulfilling many of the biblical prophecies.
- 15:20SPEAKER_00: And they have been now in the land for 72 years.
- 15:27SPEAKER_00: Israel will be the spotlight at the end times, and that's why we need to understand how important Israel is to God and to all of this.
- 15:37SPEAKER_00: So that is the background with Israel.
- 15:41SPEAKER_00: Currently, because our troubles are so great, we don't pay much attention to Israel.
- 15:46SPEAKER_00: But Israel should always be on our radar.
- 15:50SPEAKER_00: We should always be paying attention to what is going on in Israel because things heat up very quickly all at once, and you never know what God is doing with them.
- 16:02SPEAKER_00: And so it's important for us to understand, and it's important for us to know.
- 16:07SPEAKER_00: We as a nation really need to continue to support Israel.
- 16:13SPEAKER_00: And fortunately, we've had presidents and cabinets who understood this and probably understood it because of the biblical references.
- 16:21SPEAKER_00: And because of that, they did support, they did give the support.
- 16:25SPEAKER_00: But if we ever stop supporting Israel, we are in trouble.
- 16:29SPEAKER_00: We will not be blessed.
- 16:31SPEAKER_00: We'll come back to Israel in just a little bit, but I want us to look at the current, our current situation in the world.
- 16:39SPEAKER_00: Most of us are sensing that there's so much more going on behind the scenes, right?
- 16:45SPEAKER_00: Do you agree with me?
- 16:49SPEAKER_00: There are just too many things going on that seem to be taking us down a certain path, and I believe these things are not random occurrences.
- 17:01SPEAKER_00: Is COVID-19 connected with end-time events?
- 17:06SPEAKER_00: That's a good question.
- 17:07SPEAKER_00: Pastor and author Mark Hitchcock, whose insights I very much appreciate, has a new book.
- 17:14SPEAKER_00: It's called Corona Crisis.
- 17:16SPEAKER_00: And in it he says, I believe that the corona crisis is part of the stage setting for the end times.
- 17:23SPEAKER_00: In that sense, it's a sign itself that points beyond itself to future events.
- 17:29SPEAKER_00: For example, the coronavirus is revealing the interconnectedness of the modern world as well as accelerating it.
- 17:40SPEAKER_00: COVID-19 is speeding the rise of globalism.
- 17:44SPEAKER_00: I feel like that's a really great great quote to synthesize that.
- 17:50SPEAKER_00: In essence, yes, this virus is absolutely something that Satan is using to bring about his agenda for our planet.
- 18:02SPEAKER_00: Did he cause it?
- 18:03SPEAKER_00: How did it start?
- 18:04SPEAKER_00: We don't know.
- 18:04SPEAKER_00: Nobody really knows.
- 18:07SPEAKER_00: But they will never let it go to waste.
- 18:10SPEAKER_00: Pastor Tom Hughes says any good salesman learns that you create a crisis in a person's mind because you're going to sell them the solution, whatever that is.
- 18:21SPEAKER_00: The crisis is here, the fear has been created, and the solution is going to be sold to the world.
- 18:29SPEAKER_00: And it will.
- 18:30SPEAKER_00: If we're saying that we are in the end times, and I am saying that, then there will be things that we will begin to see and understand that we can relate to end time events.
- 18:43SPEAKER_00: For example, we know in the end times that Satan's activity amps up.
- 18:50SPEAKER_00: We know that that happens in the end times.
- 18:54SPEAKER_00: We know that he will be working through to bring about a one world government, a one world currency, a one world religion, and a one world ruler.
- 19:05SPEAKER_00: We know he's going to do that, right?
- 19:07SPEAKER_00: And we know that because of the book of Revelation and the Book of Daniel.
- 19:12SPEAKER_00: We know he's going to be doing that.
- 19:14SPEAKER_00: If we are close to the return of Jesus Christ, shouldn't we be seeing these things coming together?
- 19:21SPEAKER_00: Are we seeing these things coming together?
- 19:24SPEAKER_00: We really are.
- 19:26SPEAKER_00: For those who have eyes to see, we are seeing them.
- 19:31SPEAKER_00: I believe it's highly likely that the one world government that will be in control in the end times will start out.
- 19:40SPEAKER_00: If everything continues to go the way it's going, I believe that it will start out as the New World Order.
- 19:49SPEAKER_00: Have you heard that term, the New World Order?
- 19:53SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 19:55SPEAKER_00: Most of us have, I'm sure.
- 19:58SPEAKER_00: The New World Order used to be a hidden term and a hidden organization.
- 20:05SPEAKER_00: It was very hidden.
- 20:07SPEAKER_00: It was kept in the shadows.
- 20:10SPEAKER_00: People have been working toward the New World Order for at least the last 100 years.
- 20:16SPEAKER_00: But because it was in the shadows, because it was secret and a secret society, secret secret things, they kept it to themselves, it is no longer hidden.
- 20:28SPEAKER_00: They are not in hiding anymore.
- 20:32SPEAKER_00: You can read articles about world rulers and leaders, world leaders of countries who are saying that they want to be the leader of the new world order.
- 20:43SPEAKER_00: I've read those articles.
- 20:44SPEAKER_00: I know that that's what they're saying.
- 20:47SPEAKER_00: I believe there's an agenda being pushed by the individuals in this organization to get the world into a one-world government.
- 21:04SPEAKER_00: That this is just really isn't happening.
- 21:07SPEAKER_00: There's too much evidence.
- 21:42SPEAKER_00: And so we're a pretty independent nation, aren't we?
- 21:47SPEAKER_00: That they're having trouble getting their hands on.
- 21:50SPEAKER_00: But this world system of globalism has been created and it will eventually control the lives of everyone everywhere.
- 22:00SPEAKER_00: Now we know, we know that Satan will eventually control everyone everywhere, but these he will use these things to accomplish that and these organizations.
- 22:14SPEAKER_00: So in order for everything to come together in the end times, these things need to be coming together for a long time in advance, well in advance, and they have been.
- 22:25SPEAKER_00: They've been coming together again, I said, for the last hundred years or so.
- 22:30SPEAKER_00: The agenda of Satan has been working his way into all of the structures of society, all of them.
- 22:41SPEAKER_00: In the economic sector, these people and organizations that feed this organization, the New World Order, have been gaining more and more and more wealth for control.
- 22:57SPEAKER_00: Some of the wealthiest people in the world are part of this organization and this shadow government, the New World Order.
- 23:06SPEAKER_00: There's so much more that we could say about the economic sector, but we don't have time.
- 23:13SPEAKER_00: Just do your own research and you will find it.
- 23:16SPEAKER_00: Because it's out there and it's pretty easy to find.
- 23:20SPEAKER_00: In the education sector, they have steadily and methodically gained ground.
- 23:26SPEAKER_00: The people who who protested for Marxism in the 1960s have been the college professors that have advanced this agenda ever since then.
- 23:37SPEAKER_00: Now I know that's a broad sweeping statement, and of course, praise God, we have good and godly and righteous teachers.
- 23:46SPEAKER_00: Not everyone has fallen for the agenda, but many, many have.
- 23:52SPEAKER_00: And they um they have advanced this on the grounds of the New World Order and socialism.
- 24:02SPEAKER_00: We the common people have mostly been unaware that this has been happening.
- 24:09SPEAKER_00: Even though there have always been people who are telling us that this is happening, there have been.
- 24:15SPEAKER_00: For about the last 40 or 50 years, there's been people that every once in a while will say, you know, there's a there's there's this group, and the world calls them conspiracy theorists nuts and they calls them crazy.
- 24:30SPEAKER_00: But with how quickly their agenda is coming together, we have to agree that no, they weren't nuts.
- 24:38SPEAKER_00: They really were on to all of this.
- 24:41SPEAKER_00: One of them who warned us was Congressman Larry McDonald.
- 24:45SPEAKER_00: He said in 1976, the drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining supercapitalism and communism under the same tent, all under their control.
- 25:01SPEAKER_00: Do I mean conspiracy?
- 25:02SPEAKER_00: Yes, I do.
- 25:03SPEAKER_00: I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in content.
- 25:13SPEAKER_00: Congressman Larry McDonald died or was killed on a the Korean Airline 747 that was shot down by the Soviets in 1983.
- 25:24SPEAKER_00: His widow says that he was about to bring even more of this to light.
- 25:30SPEAKER_00: For these things to come together quickly, they have had to be coming together for a long time, for many years, and they have.
- 36:25SPEAKER_00: Since our inception, this country has been a threat to the enemy because our founders were very intentional to set up a nation under God that revered God, that revered truth, that revered right and justice.
- 36:46SPEAKER_00: We have been one of the only nations that would have fought against Satan's agenda in this.
- 36:53SPEAKER_00: But I think we have been lulled to sleep.
- 36:56SPEAKER_00: We have been lulled to sleep with our comfort and with our luxuries, with our entertainment, tons of ways that we have been lulled to sleep.
- 37:07SPEAKER_00: Satan's agenda will be to take us down because he has to take us down.
- 37:16SPEAKER_00: The Bible has over 800 signs regarding the second coming of Christ, and these things are all coming together at the same time.
- 37:26SPEAKER_00: There are still some things that need to come together, but not very many, and with the speed at which things have come together, we could say, wow, it won't take much for the rest of the things that need to line up to line up.
- 37:45SPEAKER_00: Jesus wants us to be aware of the end times, events, and that's why he gave us so much information about it.
- 37:52SPEAKER_00: Luke 21, Jesus says, there will be signs in the sun and the moon and the stars.
- 37:58SPEAKER_00: On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexed at the roaring and tossing of the sea.
- 38:05SPEAKER_00: People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world.
- 38:11SPEAKER_00: Are we there for that one?
- 38:13SPEAKER_00: For the heavenly bodies will be shaken.
- 38:16SPEAKER_00: At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
- 38:21SPEAKER_00: When these things begin to take place, stand up, lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing nigh, drawing near.
- 38:32SPEAKER_00: Then he told them this parable.
- 38:34SPEAKER_00: Look at the fig tree and all the trees.
- 38:36SPEAKER_00: When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near.
- 38:41SPEAKER_00: Even so, when you see these things happening, you know the kingdom of God is near.
- 38:46SPEAKER_00: We are beginning to see more and more of these things, bigger, stronger storms, larger, more frequent earthquakes, and subsequent tsunamis, and all of the apprehension that all of us are living with.
- 39:01SPEAKER_00: We're all just kind of waiting for the next shoe to drop, or the killer hornets, or the or the whatever is coming down the pike next at us.
- 39:14SPEAKER_00: But we have to do what Jesus told us to do.
- 39:18SPEAKER_00: He told us to look up and be ready because our redemption is drawing nigh.
- 39:24SPEAKER_00: Don't look horizontally, don't look out here because that'll terrify us.
- 39:29SPEAKER_00: Look up because he's coming.
- 39:32SPEAKER_00: God is not the author of confusion.
- 39:35SPEAKER_00: Who is the author of confusion?
- 39:38SPEAKER_00: Satan.
- 39:39SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
- 39:40SPEAKER_00: And Satan's tactics are secrecy and shame and deception and distortion and fear and lies and all of those things that will tie us up into a knot.
- 39:53SPEAKER_00: That's what he's after.
- 39:56SPEAKER_00: We will become more apprehensive with what is going on in the world.
- 40:00SPEAKER_00: Jesus told us we would.
- 40:04SPEAKER_00: We won't be able to make sense out of what is taking place apart from looking at it with an end times perspective.
- 40:12SPEAKER_00: Do you know people who are not believers in Christ who really are trying to figure all of this out and they just can't make sense of it?
- 40:22SPEAKER_00: And that's because understanding what we're talking about tonight helps us make sense out of all this senseless stuff.
- 40:32SPEAKER_00: Now let me explain chronologically what happens in the end times.
- 40:37SPEAKER_00: Sorry.
- 40:40SPEAKER_00: The rapture.
- 40:41SPEAKER_00: Am I going the wrong direction again?
- 40:44SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 40:45SPEAKER_00: The rapture is the next thing that will happen eschatologically for the church.
- 40:54SPEAKER_00: That is the next thing on the prophecy timeline.
- 40:58SPEAKER_00: And I believe that it's very close at hand.
- 41:01SPEAKER_00: Not gonna set dates because we shouldn't do that, because we'd probably be wrong, but it's close.
- 41:08SPEAKER_00: The rapture is always portrayed in Scripture as an eminent event, which means an any moment event.
- 41:15SPEAKER_00: It could happen at any moment.
- 41:17SPEAKER_00: There are no signs for the rapture.
- 41:21SPEAKER_00: There are no signs for the rapture.
- 41:24SPEAKER_00: The signs that we are seeing coming together are for the tribulation and for the second coming.
- 41:30SPEAKER_00: There's no signs for the rapture.
- 41:33SPEAKER_00: That's why we say it's an imminent event.
- 41:36SPEAKER_00: Mark 13, Jesus says, but about that day or hour no one knows.
- 41:42SPEAKER_00: Not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
- 41:47SPEAKER_00: Be on guard, be alert.
- 41:49SPEAKER_00: You do not know when that time will come.
- 41:53SPEAKER_00: First Thessalonians 4, 13 through 18, brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.
- 42:07SPEAKER_00: For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
- 42:16SPEAKER_00: In him.
- 42:17SPEAKER_00: According to the Lord's word, we tell you that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
- 42:28SPEAKER_00: For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
- 42:39SPEAKER_00: After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will be with the Lord forever.
- 42:51SPEAKER_00: Therefore, encourage one another with these words.
- 42:55SPEAKER_00: I firmly believe that Scripture indicates that the Church of Jesus Christ will be raptured, caught up before the tribulation period begins.
- 43:07SPEAKER_00: Yay! Please, Lord, let it be so.
- 43:11SPEAKER_00: This is the pre-tribulation view.
- 43:15SPEAKER_00: And I believe that it's the most significant, the most significant one.
- 43:20SPEAKER_00: The scriptural evidence for this is what is not seen in the book of Revelation.
- 43:29SPEAKER_00: The church is mentioned in Revelation chapters 1 through 3, and then again in chapter 21.
- 43:36SPEAKER_00: But in all of the judgments, in all of the bowls, in all of the wrath being poured out, in all of the activity of the Antichrist, the church is not mentioned one time.
- 43:49SPEAKER_00: And so we have to ask ourselves why is the church not mentioned?
- 43:55SPEAKER_00: The church has played such a significant role for the last 2,000 years.
- 44:00SPEAKER_00: Years, why wouldn't we continue to be playing a significant role in the end times?
- 44:07SPEAKER_00: And I think this answers it because we won't be here.
- 44:10SPEAKER_00: The church will be in heaven.
- 44:12SPEAKER_00: We will have been snatched away to meet the Lord Jesus in the clouds.
- 44:17SPEAKER_00: And the Jewish people are the ones that God is working through on the earth during the tribulation period.
- 44:26SPEAKER_00: That's who he's working through.
- 44:28SPEAKER_00: Something or someone is holding back the man of lawlessness, the Antichrist, and holding back from the end times prophecies being fulfilled.
- 44:39SPEAKER_00: And this passage tells us about that.
- 44:41SPEAKER_00: 2 Thessalonians 2, 7 and 8.
- 44:44SPEAKER_00: For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work.
- 44:48SPEAKER_00: But the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.
- 44:54SPEAKER_00: And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.
- 45:05SPEAKER_00: The Holy Spirit working through the church, all of us believers, is what's been holding back the end-time events to begin and the man of lawlessness to be revealed.
- 45:17SPEAKER_00: We've been holding him back.
- 45:21SPEAKER_00: The Holy Spirit is going to be here after the rapture, because how can you not, how can the Holy Spirit not be?
- 45:29SPEAKER_00: Because he's everywhere present.
- 45:30SPEAKER_00: He'll be here, but he won't be working through the church.
- 45:34SPEAKER_00: He'll be working through the Jewish believers in Messiah, Jesus, during those seven years of tribulation.
- 45:44SPEAKER_00: His work, working through the church, will be finished at the rapture.
- 45:50SPEAKER_00: The rapture is called the blessed hope because it's our hope that we're going to be taken out of this mess.
- 45:56SPEAKER_00: And the messier it gets, the better that hope looks, and the better that prospect is to us.
- 46:03SPEAKER_00: I believe that this verse confirms that we are not going to be part of the wrath of God.
- 46:09SPEAKER_00: For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath, but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
- 46:16SPEAKER_00: We believers in the church age will not suffer the wrath that is going to come in those seven years of tribulation that God's going to bring.
- 46:27SPEAKER_00: Those who believe in Messiah during the tribulation will be saved.
- 46:33SPEAKER_00: Of course, they will when they believe in Messiah Jesus, but they will have to endure such intense suffering and many to the point of death for their faith.
- 46:47SPEAKER_00: This is a super important fact that I want you to hear.
- 46:50SPEAKER_00: The fact that we are seeing the signs for the tribulation and the one world government and a one world ruler and a one world currency and anarchy and instability, etc., are signs that means the tribulation is very close.
- 47:06SPEAKER_00: If the tribulation is close, the rapture is closer, right?
- 47:13SPEAKER_00: Do you agree that we are seeing some of these things?
- 47:17SPEAKER_00: Yes, we are.
- 47:19SPEAKER_00: And it is close.
- 47:20SPEAKER_00: If we're seeing the signs of the tribulation and antichrist, we should anticipate the rapture at any moment.
- 47:29SPEAKER_00: So we have the rapture, and then we have, I'm convinced, and this is my personal conviction shared by many, that there will be a short time known as the birthpings time.
- 47:44SPEAKER_00: And it's during this time that I believe a battle of Gog and Magog, which is in Ezekiel 38 and 39, takes place.
- 47:53SPEAKER_00: Ezekiel 38 and 39 tells us that this battle, in this battle, a person from named Gog, G-O-G, and his allies, about seven or eight nations, will gather their troops and they will come and they will attack the nation of Israel when Israel is in peace.
- 48:11SPEAKER_00: This coalition will move against the land of Israel from all directions.
- 48:17SPEAKER_00: Ezekiel 38, 17 through 23 says that the forces of Gog will swarm over the land of Israel.
- 48:26SPEAKER_00: And once they are there, the wrath of God comes on them.
- 48:31SPEAKER_00: The Bible says that there will be a terrible earthquake that will shake the mountains and all the walls and the cliffs.
- 48:38SPEAKER_00: And then he will, then it says that he will pour down torrents of rain and hailstones and burning sulfur on him, Gog and his troops, and on the many nations with him.
- 48:54SPEAKER_00: So God fights powerfully against Gog and Magog and all of his allies, and he says this, and so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations.
- 49:11SPEAKER_00: Then they will know that I am the Lord.
- 49:15SPEAKER_00: In Ezekiel 39, 1 through 6, none of them, we find out that none of them survive, and that Israel is burying the dead for seven years.
- 49:28SPEAKER_00: They don't have seven years.
- 49:29SPEAKER_00: They only have months at that point.
- 49:32SPEAKER_00: Then Ezekiel 39, 7 through 8 tells us that the Lord will vindicate his holy name.
- 49:39SPEAKER_00: When these nations enter the promised land, God supernaturally intervenes on Israel's behalf and fights against them, completely destroying them, and everyone in the world will know that God has fought for them.
- 49:58SPEAKER_00: This battle has not happened.
- 50:00SPEAKER_00: This is a future battle.
- 50:02SPEAKER_00: And I believe that it takes place shortly after the rapture.
- 50:09SPEAKER_00: The names of the countries that will invade Israel are Russia, Central Asia, Iran, Northern Sudan, Libya, Turkey, and Iraq.
- 50:20SPEAKER_00: Actually, Russia is Magog in this.
- 50:24SPEAKER_00: Considering all the different facets of this upcoming invasion as predicted in Scripture, it's amazing to watch all the puzzle pieces coming together for this.
- 50:34SPEAKER_00: Because have we been seeing that?
- 50:36SPEAKER_00: We've been seeing that for about the last 12 years or so.
- 50:41SPEAKER_00: If we are in the end times, we would see a variety of nations uniting together against a common enemy, Israel, and that's what we have seen.
- 50:53SPEAKER_00: They're all allied with Russia, who is Magog, and Gog in Russia is a person that leads this attack.
- 51:03SPEAKER_00: Is there anybody in Russia that would maybe perhaps be inclined to do that?
- 51:10SPEAKER_00: And he's one of the wealthiest men in the world.
- 51:13SPEAKER_00: One of the very top wealthiest men in the world.
- 51:18SPEAKER_00: What are the odds that someone writing 2,500 plus years ago, listing the invaders as well as the non-invaders, would correctly state who would unite against Israel and who would not participate.
- 51:33SPEAKER_00: The fact that the U.S.
- 51:34SPEAKER_00: doesn't participate in this or come to the aid of Israel is interesting.
- 51:39SPEAKER_00: And I think there's several scenarios that could explain that.
- 51:43SPEAKER_00: Perhaps the United States won't care.
- 51:46SPEAKER_00: We won't be pro-Israel, or we won't have a pro-Israel leader.
- 51:50SPEAKER_00: Perhaps we won't have the military capability to do that.
- 51:54SPEAKER_00: Or maybe we have been so decimated because up to 30% of our population has suddenly disappeared.
- 52:04SPEAKER_00: I opt for that one.
- 52:07SPEAKER_00: I think this battle takes place just after the rapture, during the birth pings times, right before the tribulation begins.
- 52:16SPEAKER_00: Because most of us think the rapture happens and the tribulation begins, but not, it doesn't.
- 52:21SPEAKER_00: There's a little time in there when things have to finish getting set up in order for that to happen.
- 52:28SPEAKER_00: We don't know the timetable.
- 52:30SPEAKER_00: This is just speculation, but it makes so much sense.
- 52:34SPEAKER_00: When the rapture occurs, those countries with the highest population of believers in Jesus Christ will be decimated.
- 52:43SPEAKER_00: Absolutely decimated.
- 52:46SPEAKER_00: Think about the chaos this pandemic has caused.
- 52:50SPEAKER_00: And this is nothing compared to 25 to 30 percent of a population just suddenly being gone.
- 52:57SPEAKER_00: Nothing compared to that.
- 53:00SPEAKER_00: I think it's one of the reasons that the U.S.
- 53:02SPEAKER_00: is not mentioned in end-time prophecy.
- 53:05SPEAKER_00: We're not mentioned at all.
- 53:08SPEAKER_00: And being such a huge superpower, we have to ask why.
- 53:11SPEAKER_00: And I think this answers it.
- 53:13SPEAKER_00: We're decimated.
- 53:15SPEAKER_00: Our military is decimated.
- 53:18SPEAKER_00: We're just we're done.
- 53:22SPEAKER_00: Now think with me for here, a minute here.
- 53:25SPEAKER_00: The rapture of the church takes place, and possibly on the hills of that, these mostly Muslim nations attack Israel and are wiped out.
- 53:37SPEAKER_00: How much world, how much chaos is the world going to be in at this point?
- 53:44SPEAKER_00: Total and absolute chaos.
- 53:47SPEAKER_00: Someone is going to have to bring some control to this mess.
- 53:51SPEAKER_00: And Satan has been working hard to be ready to put to insert his man at just the right time to bring order, a new world order, globalism.
- 54:08SPEAKER_00: Satan's power would be demonstrated through this one world ruler, the man of lawlessness, and the structure is already there for him.
- 54:18SPEAKER_00: There just needs to be the perfect opportunity that they will take advantage of.
- 54:23SPEAKER_00: This man will have a unique ability to convince people that he is the solution to the dire situations that the world is facing, and he will be.
- 54:33SPEAKER_00: The people will embrace him and will readily give him the power to do what he needs to do to bring some order out of the chaos.
- 54:40SPEAKER_00: And because the world has miraculously witnessed God fighting for Israel, this man comes up with a plan to have to make a peace agreement, a covenant with Israel for seven years.
- 54:56SPEAKER_00: And that's what's happen, that's what happens.
- 54:59SPEAKER_00: As soon as that treaty is signed, the seven years of tribulation begin.
- 55:06SPEAKER_00: The stopwatch starts when that treaty is signed.
- 55:11SPEAKER_00: The man of lawlessness gains more and more power.
- 55:16SPEAKER_00: And during the first three and a half years, he does bring order.
- 55:20SPEAKER_00: He helps the Jewish people build the tip the temple in Jerusalem.
- 55:26SPEAKER_00: And he he's what everybody wants for three and a half years.
- 55:32SPEAKER_00: And then the wheels fall off the bus.
- 55:38SPEAKER_00: Because then everybody will think he's Messiah and he can do whatever he pleases.
- 55:44SPEAKER_00: Daniel chapter 11, 36, he will exalt and magnify himself above every deity, and he will utter presumptuous things against the God of gods.
- 55:57SPEAKER_00: He will succeed until the time of wrath is completed.
- 56:06SPEAKER_00: Once he arrives on the scene, all hell breaks loose, literally.
- 56:11SPEAKER_00: And the Bible says that the evil, that that this evil man will succeed, but only for a short time.
- 56:18SPEAKER_00: The book of Revelation shows us in 13, 7, and 8, he, the man of lawlessness, was given power to wage war against God's holy people and to conquer them.
- 56:31SPEAKER_00: And it, he, the the man of lawlessness, was given authority over every tribe, every people, language, and nation.
- 56:41SPEAKER_00: All the inhabitants of the earth are going to worship the beast.
- 56:45SPEAKER_00: All those whose names have not been written in the Lamb's Book of Life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.
- 56:53SPEAKER_00: We should pay close attention to what it says there about the beast.
- 56:57SPEAKER_00: First, we are told that he will go to war against those who have trusted the Lord Jesus during the first three and a half years of the tribulation period.
- 57:08SPEAKER_00: And he is allowed by God to conquer them, to put them to death.
- 57:13SPEAKER_00: Second, ruling the ruling authority will then be given to him over everyone on the earth.
- 57:20SPEAKER_00: And third, the unbelievers in the world will worship the beast.
- 57:24SPEAKER_00: The genuine believers in Christ will not worship this beast or his image.
- 57:29SPEAKER_00: At the midway point, he breaks the covenant with Israel and he shows his true colors.
- 57:37SPEAKER_00: He becomes known as the Antichrist, the beast at that point, and he will break the covenant, which puts everyone into the last three and a half years of the tribulation.
- 57:48SPEAKER_00: He forces people to take his mark, the mark of the beast, and a series of plagues and judgments comes from God on all the people in the world.
- 58:00SPEAKER_00: We know all of this happens because of the books of Daniel and Revelation and the other prophets.
- 58:06SPEAKER_00: Satan's power continues to increase in Antichrist and the false prophet.
- 58:12SPEAKER_00: I think it's highly likely that the New Age movement wrapped up with the New World Order and Satan worship is what is going to be the one world religion in the end times.
- 58:26SPEAKER_00: And it is that the New Age movement is deeper and darker than any of us can imagine.
- 58:33SPEAKER_00: It's very satanic.
- 58:36SPEAKER_00: And the false prophet will lead the world religion, whatever it is, and he will have power along with the beast.
- 58:45SPEAKER_00: During this terrible time of tribulation, God will be using the Jewish believers in Messiah to preach the gospel to the whole world.
- 58:55SPEAKER_00: And you won't be able to shut them up.
- 58:58SPEAKER_00: There will be 144,000 of them, 12,000 from each tribe of Israel, who are going to be proclaiming the name of Jesus to whoever will listen.
- 59:11SPEAKER_00: As well as God sends two prophets who will prophesy for 1,260 days.
- 59:18SPEAKER_00: Just in case you are wondering how long they're going to prophesy.
- 59:22SPEAKER_00: Revelation, I have to go back.
- 59:26SPEAKER_00: Where is my oh no, it's not on there.
- 59:28SPEAKER_00: Never mind.
- 59:30SPEAKER_00: Revelation 11, 5 through 6 says, If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes out of their mouths to devour their enemies.
- 59:37SPEAKER_00: These are the two prophets.
- 59:39SPEAKER_00: This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die.
- 59:42SPEAKER_00: They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during their time of prophesying, and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.
- 59:56SPEAKER_00: These two prophets are killed eventually, and their bodies are left in the street, and everybody in the world will be able to see their decaying bodies because they will be refused burial.
- 1:00:08SPEAKER_00: And during this time, because the two prophets are dead, everybody will celebrate, they'll give each other gifts because they are dead, and then three three and a half days later into it, God breathes the breath of life into these two prophets, and they come back to life, and everybody is terrified because they're back.
- 1:00:32SPEAKER_00: And then they hear a loud voice from heaven saying, Come up here, and they rise up in a cloud back up to heaven as their enemies look on.
- 1:00:56SPEAKER_00: He's doing some of the same things, raining down hailstones on them, using these prophets to stop up the rain and to strike the waters with blood.
- 1:01:06SPEAKER_00: Do you hear that?
- 1:01:07SPEAKER_00: That should give us even more evidence that the church is not in play during the tribulation.
- 1:01:13SPEAKER_00: God is using the Jewish people during this time.
- 1:01:17SPEAKER_00: And then we come to the second coming.
- 1:01:19SPEAKER_00: All of this builds along with all of the judgments, and the entire world is at war and centered in the Valley of Meghetto in Israel at the end of the seven-year tribulation.
- 1:01:34SPEAKER_00: The Battle of Armageddon will be in progress when the Lord Jesus starts down on his white steed.
- 1:01:43SPEAKER_00: Christ returns to the earth and we are with him.
- 1:01:48SPEAKER_00: Praise God.
- 1:01:50SPEAKER_00: All those who died or were raptured during the church age, including all the aborted babies, will be coming back down with him.
- 1:02:03SPEAKER_00: According to the World Health Organization, 40 to 50 million babies are aborted every year worldwide.
- 1:02:11SPEAKER_00: Can you imagine the number of people coming down?
- 1:02:14SPEAKER_00: There will be trillions of us coming down out of the sky with Jesus.
- 1:02:21SPEAKER_00: We won't fight with them because we don't, there will be no need.
- 1:02:26SPEAKER_00: He just takes care of them with the breath of his mouth.
- 1:02:28SPEAKER_00: And we read that in Revelation 9, 19.
- 1:02:32SPEAKER_00: I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse whose rider is called faithful and true.
- 1:02:39SPEAKER_00: With justice he judges and wages war.
- 1:02:42SPEAKER_00: His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns.
- 1:02:47SPEAKER_00: He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself.
- 1:02:50SPEAKER_00: He is dressed in a robe, dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.
- 1:02:57SPEAKER_00: The armies of heaven are following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.
- 1:03:04SPEAKER_00: Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations.
- 1:03:11SPEAKER_00: He will rule them with an iron scepter.
- 1:03:14SPEAKER_00: He treads the wine press of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.
- 1:03:19SPEAKER_00: On his robe and on his thigh, he has this name written, King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
- 1:03:28SPEAKER_00: After this, the new Jerusalem will come down out of heaven and it will hover over Jerusalem.
- 1:03:37SPEAKER_00: And the Old Testament, the church age, and the tribulation believers will all reign and rule with Christ for a thousand years.
- 1:03:46SPEAKER_00: That's the millennial reign.
- 1:03:48SPEAKER_00: After that, Satan and all of his hordes will be thrown into the lake of burning sulfur where they will be tormented forever and ever.
- 1:03:58SPEAKER_00: That's how it all plays out.
- 1:04:01SPEAKER_00: We win.
- 1:04:04SPEAKER_00: We win.
- 1:04:06SPEAKER_00: So what should we do now?
- 1:04:09SPEAKER_00: If we truly are at the end, and I believe we are, what are we to do?
- 1:04:15SPEAKER_00: Fortunately for us, we have a God who wants us to know what to do.
- 1:04:20SPEAKER_00: And so this is what Jesus tells us to do in Matthew 24.
- 1:04:24SPEAKER_00: Watch out that no one deceives you, for many will come in my name, claiming I am the Messiah, and will deceive many.
- 1:04:32SPEAKER_00: You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed.
- 1:04:37SPEAKER_00: Informed?
- 1:04:39SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 1:04:39SPEAKER_00: Alarmed, no.
- 1:04:42SPEAKER_00: Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
- 1:04:47SPEAKER_00: Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom.
- 1:04:50SPEAKER_00: There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
- 1:04:54SPEAKER_00: All these are the beginning of birth pangs.
- 1:04:58SPEAKER_00: The things we are currently seeing come together are the Braxton Hicks of the end times.
- 1:05:06SPEAKER_00: And they're picking up in intensity.
- 1:05:09SPEAKER_00: They're getting closer together.
- 1:05:13SPEAKER_00: We've been in this birth pangs time for a while, and we may still be in it for a while to come.
- 1:05:20SPEAKER_00: But then Jesus says, Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.
- 1:05:29SPEAKER_00: At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other.
- 1:05:34SPEAKER_00: And many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
- 1:05:39SPEAKER_00: Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.
- 1:05:45SPEAKER_00: But the one who stands firm to the end will be saved, and this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
- 1:06:00SPEAKER_00: Things could and will get worse.
- 1:06:04SPEAKER_00: But Jesus tells us what to do.
- 1:06:07SPEAKER_00: He tells us to watch.
- 1:06:10SPEAKER_00: Be constantly watching.
- 1:06:14SPEAKER_00: Watch what God is doing.
- 1:06:16SPEAKER_00: Look and see what he is doing.
- 1:06:20SPEAKER_00: He is doing miraculous things right now.
- 1:06:23SPEAKER_00: So be aware of how he's working and then join him where he's working.
- 1:06:28SPEAKER_00: Do you know that Iran right now, the country of Iran, has one of the fastest growing Christian populations in the world?
- 1:06:36SPEAKER_00: It is the first, the most.
- 1:06:39SPEAKER_00: It's increasing.
- 1:06:41SPEAKER_00: Muslims are coming to faith in Christ by the hordes.
- 1:06:45SPEAKER_00: China is the previous leader.
- 1:06:48SPEAKER_00: And all of that was underground, and Iran is all underground, the church.
- 1:06:53SPEAKER_00: God is doing amazing, miraculous things right now.
- 1:06:58SPEAKER_00: So watch.
- 1:06:59SPEAKER_00: We are absolutely, listen to me.
- 1:07:03SPEAKER_00: We are absolutely privileged to be living right now.
- 1:07:07SPEAKER_00: Do you realize that?
- 1:07:09SPEAKER_00: I mean, people from the whole church age would love to be sitting where we are sitting right now.
- 1:07:16SPEAKER_00: They would love to be where to see what we are getting to see.
- 1:07:21SPEAKER_00: They would love to be here and be in on the action.
- 1:07:26SPEAKER_00: So rather than being defeated about our times, praise God for them.
- 1:07:32SPEAKER_00: Because it means that he's doing great things, and we get a front row seat to watch him do these incredible things.
- 1:07:42SPEAKER_00: We might be the last generations of the church age.
- 1:07:49SPEAKER_00: Praise the Lord.
- 1:07:52SPEAKER_00: So don't be alarmed.
- 1:07:55SPEAKER_00: Don't be alarmed.
- 1:07:57SPEAKER_00: Be informed, yes.
- 1:07:58SPEAKER_00: The enemy wants you to be alarmed.
- 1:08:00SPEAKER_00: He wants you to fear and be terrified.
- 1:08:03SPEAKER_00: Don't be alarmed.
- 1:08:06SPEAKER_00: Allow the peace of Christ to come and settle so deeply in your heart that nothing can move you from that.
- 1:08:16SPEAKER_00: Do that.
- 1:08:17SPEAKER_00: And that's a responsibility that each one of us has.
- 1:08:19SPEAKER_00: We've got to do that.
- 1:08:22SPEAKER_00: Go to God for what you need and stay on your knees until you get it from Him.
- 1:08:28SPEAKER_00: Don't be alarmed, but center yourself.
- 1:08:32SPEAKER_00: And then stand firm.
- 1:08:34SPEAKER_00: God has armed us with scripture, which informs us of what's going to happen and what we can expect so that we can take a stand, so that we're not just cowering in some corner because we don't know what's going on.
- 1:08:49SPEAKER_00: We know what's going on.
- 1:08:51SPEAKER_00: And He expects us to stand up for Him.
- 1:08:56SPEAKER_00: If you don't consistently read the Bible, start reading it.
- 1:09:00SPEAKER_00: Start in the book of John and just read through the whole New Testament and then go right back and read through it again.
- 1:09:06SPEAKER_00: Just keep reading.
- 1:09:07SPEAKER_00: We won't have the strength to stand if we are not standing on the Word of God.
- 1:09:14SPEAKER_00: Embed yourself in the Word of God.
- 1:09:17SPEAKER_00: You have to in order to stand.
- 1:09:20SPEAKER_00: Jonathan Kahn says in his book Paradigm: in the days when a nation becomes radically immoral, the moral will appear to be radical.
- 1:09:30SPEAKER_00: When evil goes from bad to worse, the righteous must go from good to great.
- 1:09:35SPEAKER_00: And the most important thing that Jesus Christ tells us to do is to preach the gospel.
- 1:09:40SPEAKER_00: To preach the gospel.
- 1:09:42SPEAKER_00: We have to be preaching the gospel.
- 1:09:44SPEAKER_00: Warn people that they need Jesus in their lives.
- 1:09:49SPEAKER_00: Tell them what you know about the end times.
- 1:09:53SPEAKER_00: You may not know much, but you might know more than they do, and so tell them and give them the gospel.
- 1:09:59SPEAKER_00: Those are our marching orders from Christ.
- 1:10:03SPEAKER_00: Jesus also said this in Luke 17.
- 1:10:06SPEAKER_00: Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also it will be in the days of the Son of Man.
- 1:10:12SPEAKER_00: People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the point when Noah entered the ark.
- 1:10:18SPEAKER_00: Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
- 1:10:21SPEAKER_00: Noah was telling the people that there's going to be judgment that is coming.
- 1:10:25SPEAKER_00: It's crazy.
- 1:10:26SPEAKER_00: Noah was building the ark for 120 years.
- 1:10:29SPEAKER_00: And then when everything was ready, when all the animals were inside, he and his family go inside for seven more days.
- 1:10:37SPEAKER_00: I'm convinced Noah goes out onto that plank every single day and says, judgment is coming.
- 1:10:42SPEAKER_00: God's provided the ark.
- 1:10:43SPEAKER_00: Come get in it.
- 1:10:45SPEAKER_00: And no one takes him up on it.
- 1:10:47SPEAKER_00: No one.
- 1:10:48SPEAKER_00: But that's what we have to do.
- 1:10:50SPEAKER_00: We have to tell people what we know so that they can have an opportunity to take to get in on the salvation that God provides.
- 1:10:59SPEAKER_00: Maybe they won't receive Christ when you talk to them.
- 1:11:03SPEAKER_00: But if you suddenly disappear and a bunch of other people that they know suddenly disappear, they might think, huh, that's what they were talking about.
- 1:11:13SPEAKER_00: And they might put the pieces together.
- 1:11:16SPEAKER_00: So that's what we have to do.
- 1:11:18SPEAKER_00: Tell them in advance so that they know, so that they can find faith at the beginning of the tribulation period.
- 1:11:25SPEAKER_00: On your way out, you can pick up a letter that you can use to explain the rapture.
- 1:11:33SPEAKER_00: I've written this up and I've put in there the key points, and you can address this and leave it for somebody to find, or you can give it to them ahead of time and just say, hey, just in case we all disappear, I want you to know what's happened to us.
- 1:11:50SPEAKER_00: You can pick one up and take one copy, but feel free to make as many copies as you want.
- 1:11:57SPEAKER_00: Ladies, it's time to be hot, not lukewarm, not cold.
- 1:12:03SPEAKER_00: Take care of any business that you need to take care of to get your soul in a place where you want it to be, so that you can be a vessel God can use.
- 1:12:18SPEAKER_00: Jesus is coming.
- 1:12:20SPEAKER_00: And it really truly is closer than it's ever been.
- 1:12:26SPEAKER_00: Things are difficult now and they may not get better.
- 1:12:29SPEAKER_00: We are divided and we may become even more divided as the days go on.
- 1:12:35SPEAKER_00: We should anticipate.
- 1:12:37SPEAKER_00: We should anticipate that the enemy will work hard to divide us, right?
- 1:12:41SPEAKER_00: We know that.
- 1:12:44SPEAKER_00: Listen to me.
- 1:12:46SPEAKER_00: Most of the things that Satan will use to divide us are secondary issues.
- 1:12:52SPEAKER_00: Not the primary issue.
- 1:12:53SPEAKER_00: The primary issue is the gospel of Jesus Christ being preached and believed on by unbelievers.
- 1:13:04SPEAKER_00: So let's solidify ourselves around that issue and not the issues that divide us.
- 1:13:11SPEAKER_00: We have Jesus, who is the one constant in all of this mess.
- 1:13:16SPEAKER_00: And if you are listening to me or you are here in this room and you don't know if you are a believer in Jesus Christ, you can know.
- 1:13:38SPEAKER_00: Whoever has the son has life.
- 1:13:41SPEAKER_00: Whoever does not have the son of God does not have life.
- 1:13:46SPEAKER_00: Where are you on that spectrum?
- 1:13:49SPEAKER_00: Do you have the Son of God, Jesus Christ, living in you?
- 1:13:53SPEAKER_00: Do you have him in you?
- 1:13:55SPEAKER_00: If you don't, you can.
- 1:13:58SPEAKER_00: All you need to do is pray and be honest with God and say, God, I'm a sinner.
- 1:14:05SPEAKER_00: I am wretched.
- 1:14:08SPEAKER_00: And I need a savior.
- 1:14:10SPEAKER_00: I can't save myself.
- 1:14:13SPEAKER_00: And I want you to be my savior.
- 1:14:18SPEAKER_00: If you do that, then according to that verse, you have the Son of God living in you.
- 1:14:24SPEAKER_00: He comes in, he takes up residence inside of you and turns your world upside down.
- 1:14:30SPEAKER_00: Those who have the Son have life.
- 1:14:32SPEAKER_00: Those who do not have the Son do not have life.
- 1:14:35SPEAKER_00: Make sure that you have the Son of God living inside of you.
- 1:14:39SPEAKER_00: And then we need to declare the gospel.
- 1:14:42SPEAKER_00: Acts 4.12, salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.
- 1:14:54SPEAKER_00: There's only one Savior, and He is Jesus Christ.
- 1:14:57SPEAKER_00: And he wants you to love Him and to follow Him and to give your life to Him.
- 1:15:03SPEAKER_00: The end is near, and so let's make every opportunity count.
- 1:15:10SPEAKER_00: And come, Lord Jesus.
- 1:15:12SPEAKER_00: Let's pray.
- 1:15:14SPEAKER_00: Father God, thank you so much that you have given us your word, and that you have told us in your Word what is going to happen, what's going to come, and then you've told us how to handle it.
- 1:15:30SPEAKER_00: To watch, to look up, to not look around us, but to look to you.
- 1:15:38SPEAKER_00: And then to not be alarmed.
- 1:15:42SPEAKER_00: And to stand firm and to preach the gospel.
- 1:15:45SPEAKER_00: God, I pray and ask that you would equip my sisters in this room and anywhere that they are listening, that you would equip them to be the salt and light in these end times.
- 1:16:03SPEAKER_00: Jesus, together, we all just cry out, come, come, Lord Jesus.
- 1:16:10SPEAKER_00: We pray these things in your name.
- 1:16:13SPEAKER_00: Amen.
- 1:16:17SPEAKER_01: Does anyone else feel like they've been drinking from a fire hose?
- 1:16:22SPEAKER_01: Wow.
- 1:16:22SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry we're about to take that all in.
- 1:16:31SPEAKER_00: I know I told you I was gonna talk fast.
- 1:16:35SPEAKER_01: Well, for our online audience, I'm gonna jump in real quick because you're you're seeing what's happening about two minutes after we say it and do it.
- 1:16:42SPEAKER_01: So make sure you go ahead and comment if you're on Facebook or YouTube.
- 1:16:46SPEAKER_01: Comment in the quick in the comments, ask your questions.
- 1:16:48SPEAKER_01: We'll try to get to those.
- 1:16:50SPEAKER_01: If you're here, excuse me.
- 1:16:53SPEAKER_01: Excuse me.
- 1:16:56SPEAKER_01: The live audience.
- 1:16:58SPEAKER_01: Um don't worry, just it's just allergies, I'm sure.
- 1:17:04SPEAKER_01: Um isn't it just weird?
- 1:17:07SPEAKER_01: You just can't cough without everyone looking at.
- 1:17:11SPEAKER_01: It's the fear.
- 1:17:12SPEAKER_01: Anyway, um, if you're here and you want to ask a question, go ahead and jot it down and just raise your hand, and Shauna or Jennifer, one of our women's council ladies, will come around and pick it up from you.
- 1:17:24SPEAKER_01: Well, we've already had some questions, Patty, so I'm gonna go ahead and hit you with one.
- 1:17:28SPEAKER_01: Um, you know, you said you asked if we know people who are looking around and trying to make sense of all this.
- 1:17:35SPEAKER_01: What if I have a friend or friends who they're not even thinking about this?
- 1:17:40SPEAKER_01: They are in the world, they're in the media, all that stuff that's so worldly, like this isn't even on their radar.
- 1:17:48SPEAKER_01: How would you, and maybe I'm afraid that I'm gonna frighten away my friends if I start talking about this stuff, how would you just start that conversation when we're in a hurry to get this communicated?
- 1:18:00SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think I, and probably all of you have ideas about this, but I think that um you would you would just gently ease into it and say, you know what, I'm really concerned about you, and I'm concerned with how you're handling all of this.
- 1:18:16SPEAKER_00: And um do you mind have I have I earned the right to be heard and listened to?
- 1:18:23SPEAKER_00: And I think that's always a great segue into that, because if you have earned the right, then they're going to say yes.
- 1:18:30SPEAKER_00: And they know they know where you're coming from, and so that's a great way to say it.
- 1:18:35SPEAKER_00: Have have I earned the right to be heard?
- 1:18:37SPEAKER_00: And then and then launch into it and just with love explain what you know.
- 1:18:43SPEAKER_00: And um you can use some of these verses.
- 1:18:46SPEAKER_00: I've they they're on your sheet, so you can use some of these verses to try to communicate with them and use the letter, and um, and just do it that way.
- 1:18:54SPEAKER_00: Do it with love, and and they won't, they won't get offended if you if you do it that way, if they know that you're doing it in love.
- 1:19:02SPEAKER_00: What do we say?
- 1:19:03SPEAKER_01: We don't always have to be right, but we always have to be in love.
- 1:19:05SPEAKER_01: So I love that.
- 1:19:06SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:19:07SPEAKER_01: Samantha wants to know do you believe that those who go with the church will be able to witness what happens during the tribulation?
- 1:19:19SPEAKER_00: I mean, yeah.
- 1:19:22SPEAKER_00: I mean, I think we will.
- 1:19:23SPEAKER_00: You know, Hebrews tells us that we're surrounded by a by a crowd of witnesses who are watching, and so I think there that it's that we we might, I hope.
- 1:19:34SPEAKER_00: What I hope is that when it happens, when the event actually happens, that we'll just have one of those, it happened.
- 1:19:42SPEAKER_00: And I and I get to, you know what I mean?
- 1:19:44SPEAKER_00: That it's not just but that we actually get to enjoy it, but um, yeah.
- 1:19:50SPEAKER_00: I get to enjoy it for the sp twinkling of an eye that we're gonna enjoy it.
- 1:19:55SPEAKER_00: Yes, yes.
- 1:19:56SPEAKER_00: But I think probably.
- 1:19:57SPEAKER_01: Okay, great.
- 1:19:58SPEAKER_01: Um, and I did fail to mention for those of you watching online, uh, some of you have asked about the handouts, the the rapture letter, the sources that Patty uses and recommends.
- 1:20:08SPEAKER_01: You can find all of that on our website, on the event page for It's About Time, or if you're watching on Facebook or YouTube, look in the comments, and I've pasted it a few times.
- 1:20:17SPEAKER_01: Uh, if not, just reach out to me.
- 1:20:18SPEAKER_01: I'm Teresa Jenkins, Communications Director here, and I'll send you the link personally.
- 1:20:23SPEAKER_01: So thank you.
- 1:20:24SPEAKER_01: Um and I understand we had some audio problems at the very beginning, so those who didn't hear online, uh, the video for this event will be on Facebook and YouTube after we're done here tonight, so you can watch it there.
- 1:20:38SPEAKER_01: Uh, Grace asks, what happens to the children of people who are non-believers?
- 1:20:43SPEAKER_01: And I assume we're talking tiny, tiny little ones.
- 1:20:46SPEAKER_01: Are they raptured up with the believers?
- 1:20:48SPEAKER_00: I believe they are.
- 1:20:49SPEAKER_00: I believe that children under the age of accountability are they are.
- 1:20:54SPEAKER_00: And so um, you know what agony those parents are going to be just looking for their children.
- 1:21:01SPEAKER_00: But I I mean, I'm pretty confident that they will be.
- 1:21:06SPEAKER_00: Because those children won't have gotten to a point yet, the younger, younger ones where they've been able to decide, make a decision for Christ.
- 1:21:14SPEAKER_00: And so if they're under that age, then they I think they will.
- 1:21:19SPEAKER_01: Great.
- 1:21:20SPEAKER_01: Do you think replacement theology will gain in popularity as we draw closer to near the end times?
- 1:21:27SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and I'm trying to remember replacement theology.
- 1:21:29SPEAKER_00: I did look it up.
- 1:21:32SPEAKER_00: Um probably.
- 1:21:38SPEAKER_00: You know, my hope, my hope is that um that there really will be revival, that revival will break out, that the Christians will become more bold, and so um, and I don't think we have much time, so it may, you know, who knows?
- 1:21:57SPEAKER_00: Who knows?
- 1:21:59SPEAKER_00: If that's an answer, which is not.
- 1:22:00SPEAKER_01: Well, that's okay.
- 1:22:01SPEAKER_01: Um Christine wants to know are there are the two prophets that are coming, do you believe that they are alive now in our time?
- 1:22:09SPEAKER_00: Hmm, that's a great question.
- 1:22:11SPEAKER_00: Very interesting.
- 1:22:12SPEAKER_00: I don't have any idea.
- 1:22:14SPEAKER_00: I mean, I I guess, you know, maybe they could be.
- 1:22:18SPEAKER_00: Depends on how close it is.
- 1:22:19SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:22:20SPEAKER_00: But it's just it's so cool that God is going to revert back to how He did the the um how he related to Israel in the Old Testament during the tribulation.
- 1:22:30SPEAKER_01: Great.
- 1:22:31SPEAKER_01: Samantha wants to know will those who come to faith in the Messiah after the rapture, but during the tribulation, endure, this is a hard one, endure the plagues uh the same as those who follow the Antichrist.
- 1:22:43SPEAKER_01: That's a tough one to think about.
- 1:22:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it really is, because it's just going to be so incredibly hard their whole lives, because if they if they don't take the mark of the beast, you know, in that three and a half years in, then um they're kind of on their own.
- 1:23:00SPEAKER_00: And we know that they'll be that they'll be starving because it talks about in Revelation how how they were starving, they didn't have food, and then how they were beheaded.
- 1:23:10SPEAKER_00: And actually in the in that time, those those tribulation believers are in a under the throne, up in heaven, um, waiting for for for um the new Jerusalem to come down, but uh it's gonna be so horrible.
- 1:23:26SPEAKER_00: We can't even imagine this pandemic has been absolutely totally nothing compared to what um what they are going to experience.
- 1:23:35SPEAKER_00: So, yeah.
- 1:23:37SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 1:23:38SPEAKER_01: Bad.
- 1:23:40SPEAKER_01: This is a great question.
- 1:23:41SPEAKER_01: Is there a known reputable way to donate to the Iran Underground Church?
- 1:23:46SPEAKER_01: We know that you said it's one of the most quickly growing churches in the world, and of course we want to support that.
- 1:23:53SPEAKER_01: Are you aware of a way to support that?
- 1:23:55SPEAKER_00: I'm I know that there are ministries that are that are doing that, that are going over and and helping to the extent that they can.
- 1:24:04SPEAKER_00: But I think it's mostly um the Iranians who who are there who are speaking the word to them.
- 1:24:12SPEAKER_00: And of course, they have to be so careful because those those men and women who are coming to Christ over there, they know that when they leave their home, like if a husband and wife leave their home to go to work or go out, they know it could be the last time they see each other because um they just are so persecuted.
- 1:24:31SPEAKER_00: I was watching a a video clip just Sunday night of a woman who had been imprisoned in Iran, and um she was so despondent whenever she first got in there, and and of course a translator was translating what she was saying, but but a while after a while she just decided I'm in prison, I might as well speak for Jesus, and so she started witnessing to everybody, and and it completely turned her her view of it upside down because people came to faith in Christ in the prison, and two of the guards actually received Christ, and so then they let her out because she was being too effective, and so and so then um she wanted to go back.
- 1:25:15SPEAKER_00: She was like, I want to go back because I love those people in there now, even though she was horribly tortured for her faith in there, and you know the persecution of believers around the world has been horrible, and it is getting worse and worse and worse.
- 1:25:32SPEAKER_00: Um, we just really have no idea in this country how how really horrific it is for them.
- 1:25:41SPEAKER_01: We have about five minutes left.
- 1:25:43SPEAKER_01: We promise you we'd keep you until eight o'clock.
- 1:25:46SPEAKER_01: But if there are more questions, uh feel free to stay.
- 1:25:49SPEAKER_01: Anyone who needs to go uh at any time, go ahead and get up and and uh in advance, thank you for coming.
- 1:25:54SPEAKER_01: Uh we'll give our online audience a little longer.
- 1:25:57SPEAKER_01: As I said, they're two minutes behind us.
- 1:25:59SPEAKER_01: But Janine has a good question.
- 1:26:00SPEAKER_01: Do you have any good resources to teach this to children?
- 1:26:05SPEAKER_01: And what are some of the ages that are appropriate to start talking about?
- 1:26:09SPEAKER_01: Because this could be very frightening.
- 1:26:11SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:26:12SPEAKER_01: It could be very understand.
- 1:26:13SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:26:14SPEAKER_00: And I think you would keep it to really simplistic terms.
- 1:26:17SPEAKER_00: I mean, just real, real, you know, not get into anything, any details, and then this is gonna happen, and they're, you know, um, they're having nightmares.
- 1:26:26SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you don't want to do that.
- 1:26:28SPEAKER_00: So I I think just keep it, but but also keep it really positive of this is our future.
- 1:26:35SPEAKER_00: You know, this is gonna happen, and it's so exciting because Jesus is gonna come back for us and and take us home.
- 1:26:42SPEAKER_00: I do have um when you leave, there's I I I have a sheet that's a resource sheet on the people that I like to listen to online.
- 1:26:51SPEAKER_00: And um, and so I I wrote some things about them, but you guys, there's a wealth of information out there.
- 1:26:59SPEAKER_00: Of course, you have to be particular, which is why I wrote it all down.
- 1:27:03SPEAKER_00: But these guys that I have on the um, these guys and one woman that I have on the sheet out there for you are really good.
- 1:27:12SPEAKER_01: So now this is a question I'm not sure I understand the question.
- 1:27:17SPEAKER_01: So if we don't, we'll we'll follow up and we'll get back to you.
- 1:27:20SPEAKER_01: But Heather wants to know what is the age of accountability?
- 1:27:24SPEAKER_00: The age um it's it's that point where where a child is mature enough in their thinking to be able to receive Christ, to recognize that they're a sinner and that they they need a savior.
- 1:27:39SPEAKER_00: And it's at that age that they um that they realize that.
- 1:27:42SPEAKER_00: And so for every child that's different.
- 1:27:45SPEAKER_00: I mean, only God knows what that age is because it's it's different for every child.
- 1:27:52SPEAKER_00: And those who are who have any mental um deficiencies or problems, um deficits, they they Probably will not.
- 1:28:02SPEAKER_00: Uh they would they will have that age of accountability.
- 1:28:06SPEAKER_00: They will not be responsible for their sin.
- 1:28:09SPEAKER_00: How am I saying that?
- 1:28:10SPEAKER_00: Anyway, you get what I'm saying there.
- 1:28:13SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
- 1:28:13SPEAKER_01: I didn't understand that one.
- 1:28:15SPEAKER_01: Dominique, our friend Dominique is watching online.
- 1:28:17SPEAKER_01: Hi now, Dominique.
- 1:28:19SPEAKER_01: Can you explain more about the chip and will this take place pre-tribulation?
- 1:28:25SPEAKER_00: Um, yeah, we don't know if it's gonna when it when that will happen.
- 1:28:30SPEAKER_00: I mean, you know, you guys see what I see and how close we are to it.
- 1:28:36SPEAKER_00: Um there and there are some people that that think that the way that the the vaccine, a vaccine could be, could actually in the future maybe be the mark of the beast, but but that's kind of speculation.
- 1:28:53SPEAKER_00: Um but I we don't know, you know.
- 1:28:58SPEAKER_00: I mean, with how fast everything has happened, we really didn't think it would go this quickly.
- 1:29:03SPEAKER_00: And so um I don't know.
- 1:29:08SPEAKER_00: Eek.
- 1:29:09SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 1:29:10SPEAKER_01: Was Margaret Sanger part of the One World Order and the Rockefellers?
- 1:29:16SPEAKER_00: Do you know?
- 1:29:17SPEAKER_00: Um, pretty positive, yeah.
- 1:29:19SPEAKER_00: Rockefellers for sure, along with the Rothschilds and you know, um, all of those people back in the day, but yes, I think I I'm pretty sure she was.
- 1:29:31SPEAKER_00: And um, and then she, you know, had a board of very influential people that served on her board, and they were all in on that agenda, that wicked agenda.
- 1:29:44SPEAKER_01: Okay, I think we got most of our online questions.
- 1:29:47SPEAKER_01: I apologize if we missed someone.
- 1:29:50SPEAKER_01: Anyone else here want to send up a question before we end for the evening?
- 1:29:56SPEAKER_01: All right, well, Patty.
- 1:29:58SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, Debbie.
- 1:30:11SPEAKER_00: How the yeah.
- 1:30:15SPEAKER_00: How the different pandemics through the ages, like the black plague and and I think that's part of that when Jesus says there's gonna be those things that are coming on you, and those are the beginning of birth pains, you know, that that falls into that category because there's always been that kind of stuff, you know, through the ages.
- 1:30:39SPEAKER_00: But all right.
- 1:30:43SPEAKER_00: Any other questions?
- 1:30:47unknown: Okay.
- 1:30:48SPEAKER_01: I'm not seeing any more of that.
- 1:30:49SPEAKER_00: Well, I hope that this has been beneficial for you.
- 1:30:52SPEAKER_00: I hope that it has has my my intent was not to alarm you, obviously, because Jesus tells us not to be alarmed, but um but I hope that it's brought you to a place of of where you're more settled in in how how things are.
- 1:31:10SPEAKER_00: Does that make sense?
- 1:31:12SPEAKER_00: I hope I hope you're there.
- 1:31:16SPEAKER_00: Okay.
