Chapter 60. Two from the book.
0:02
Of Isaiah first let's. Pray dear God.
0:05
Please help us. To gain understanding as.
0:08
We read through this. In Jesus name.
0:12
So it begins with For Zion's sake I will not keep silent.
0:17
This is Isaiah talking for Jerusalem's sake.
0:21
I will not remain quiet till her vindication shines.
0:26
Out. Like the dawn, her salvation,
0:29
like a blazing torch, The nations will see your
0:33
vindication, And all kings your glory you will be.
0:38
Called by. A new name that the mouth.
0:42
Of the Lord will. Bestow so this is something that
0:46
God often. Does is gives?
0:49
Someone a new name it says like if you search new name and this
0:56
this actually happened back in the Old Testament times too.
1:01
Like Jacob, his name became Israel, Abram became Abraham,
1:08
Sarai became Sarah, and then in the New Testament, Saul became
1:14
Paul. So it does also.
1:17
Talk about this in the Book of Revelation as well.
1:22
So Isaiah 62. Verse 2 talks about.
1:27
This new name, but then we can also go to the book.
1:29
Of. Revelation in the New Testament,
1:32
chapter 2, verse 17 and it. Says whoever has.
1:35
Ears let them hear. What the Spirit says to the
1:39
churches. To the one who?
1:41
Is victorious. I will give.
1:43
Some of the hidden manna I will also give that person a white
1:49
stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one.
1:55
Who receives it? So this Whitestone is like
1:59
purity and there's a new name or Holiness I guess, and there is a
2:05
new name that is given to people.
2:08
When? Probably when?
2:10
Perhaps when they are born again or as a reward or a new name.
2:14
But this is very much common. This is something God does often
2:19
and then in Revelation. Chapter 3 verse 12 it says.
2:23
The one who? Is victorious.
2:25
I will make a pillar in the temple of my God.
2:29
Never again will they leave. It I will write.
2:32
On them the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God,
2:38
the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from
2:43
my God. And I will also write on them my
2:47
new name so. This is.
2:52
Another part where it's. Talked about.
2:55
A new name that is given and this is something that that God.
3:01
Does repeatedly, so that is. Let's see.
3:05
What else there's? The new.
3:09
Well, we'll get to that later, I guess, OK.
3:12
So it's talking about all the nations seeing this.
3:15
You will be a. Crown of splendor in the Lord's
3:18
hand. A royal diadem in the hand of
3:21
your God no longer. Will they call you deserted or
3:26
the? Name or name your land desolate.
3:29
But you will be. Called Hepzibah, which means my
3:35
delight is in her and your land Beulah.
3:39
And Beulah means married for the Lord.
3:43
Will take delight. In you and your land.
3:47
Will be. Married as a young man marries a
3:51
young woman. So your builder marry, so will.
3:56
Your builder marry you as a bridegroom.
3:59
Rejoices over His bride, So will your God rejoice over you.
4:04
So there are many symbolic things that are mentioned here.
4:08
It's about and we know that. Jesus from the prior chapters we
4:12
talked about. Jesus being the bridegroom and.
4:15
We talked about. You know the creator.
4:18
Jesus was with the Father. From the beginning and.
4:23
He was. You know it says so your builder
4:27
will marry you. So this is.
4:29
You know from the beginning your builder, your creator is, is
4:33
marrying you. So this is that.
4:34
Covenant That marriage covenant that is spoken of symbolically.
4:40
Throughout the entire Bible it says I have posted.
4:47
Watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem, these are.
4:50
Probably the prophets. Who had warned?
4:52
All the people of. Jerusalem throughout.
4:55
All of the. Ages.
4:56
They will never be silent, day or night.
4:59
You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest and give Him
5:05
no. Rest till he establishes.
5:08
Jerusalem and makes her the. Praise of the Earth.
5:12
This reminds me of something that I think Paul says pray
5:15
without ceasing that. It says.
5:19
You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest, and give him
5:24
no rest. Till he establishes.
5:27
Jerusalem and makes her the praise.
5:30
I just think is. You know, just to keep on
5:32
praying for everything the. Study Bible says Does God grow
5:37
tired of our prayers? No, but the Bible sometimes
5:41
pictures God as having human characteristics.
5:44
The verse simply urges God's people to.
5:47
Pray until their. Prayers are answered though.
5:52
Prayers do not. Literally wear God out he.
5:55
Does respond to persistence and you can find that in Luke
5:59
chapter 18 verses one through 8 the study.
6:03
Bible also talks. I'll read.
6:05
A few more things that are stated here.
6:07
What? Was a royal.
6:08
Diadem. It was a crown, specifically a
6:11
crown worn by a king or a queen. Scholars aren't sure why Isaiah
6:16
described the crown as being in God's hand rather than on his
6:20
head. Maybe it represents an
6:22
intentional mixing of metaphors. Jerusalem and its people were in
6:27
his hand in the sense of being under his care and control.
6:31
But they were. Also his prized possession
6:34
elsewhere, the Bible. Pictures.
6:35
Christ's followers. Reigning with him in heaven as
6:38
royalty, how can land be married?
6:43
This is figurative. Since marriage was considered a
6:46
blessing, this was a. Picture of God's.
6:48
Blessings on his people who lived in the land This promise
6:51
was especially significant to people who had.
6:54
Earlier been described as childless widows.
6:58
Why would Zion or Jerusalem be given a set of new names?
7:03
In ancient times, names did much more than identify a person.
7:07
Names revealed something about a person.
7:11
His or her characteristics? For example, or the
7:14
circumstances surrounding the person's life changing names was
7:18
a vivid. Way to express?
7:20
A change in circumstances. So then let's see what comes
7:28
next to keep on praying. We talked about that the Lord
7:33
has sworn by his right hand and by His mighty arm.
7:36
Never again will I give your grain as food to your enemies.
7:41
So again this is this has not happened yet.
7:44
This is something future. Never again will I give your
7:48
grain as food for your enemies. And never again will foreigners
7:51
drink the new wine for which you have.
7:54
Toiled, but those who harvest. It will eat it and praise the
7:58
Lord This is something future and those who.
8:01
Gather the grapes will. Drink it in the courts of my
8:04
sanctuary. Obviously this.
8:07
Has not happened yet. Pass through, pass through the
8:10
gates. Prepare the way for the.
8:12
People. Build up, build up.
8:14
The highway. Remove the stones.
8:17
Raise a banner for the nations. So it says, why build up a
8:20
highway for the people, this road?
8:23
Building and Rd. clearing. Project probably refers to the
8:27
Jews. Return from Babylon.
8:29
But this? Clearly points to salvation in
8:31
its final stage. God would make his salvation
8:35
available. To all his people.
8:39
Continuing with what Isaiah said, the the Lord has made
8:43
proclamation to the ends of the earth.
8:46
Say to daughter Zion. See.
8:48
Your Savior comes. See.
8:51
His reward is with. Him and his recompense
8:55
accompanies him. So this is talking about a
8:58
savior coming now who? Is the Savior of Israel God?
9:05
Himself correct And how did God? Save people through Jesus's
9:12
sacrifice. On the cross.
9:14
So this is telling us that Jesus is returning the Savior.
9:19
Who else could be? No one can save.
9:22
I mean if Israel. Could be saved.
9:25
Then they wouldn't. Have had all these sacrifices
9:29
year after year after year. For atoning, but when Jesus came
9:33
and made it possible, there is no longer a requirement.
9:37
For these sacrifices. And so the Savior who is not
9:41
recognized. By all Jewish people.
9:44
Yet. Is.
9:45
Jesus and he is coming. He will be the Messiah that
9:50
comes. There are Jesus even said there
9:52
were going to be false messiahs that come first.
9:55
So we have to be. Aware of that, but eventually
10:00
Jesus will come. Says he comes on the clouds so
10:04
we will know when he is coming and I.
10:06
Believe that he does. Return at the. 6th seal so.
10:10
The Book of Revelations, a great book.
10:12
To read because it tells us about the.
10:16
Events that will happen so that when we see these events then we
10:19
will recognize it if we. Study the Book of Revelation.
10:22
It says you'll be blessed if you read the.
10:23
Book of Revelation. So it's a good thing to do that.
10:28
So and, and then he brings rewards with him.
10:31
So this is both a time of vengeance and a time of.
10:36
Rewards. And redemption.
10:37
So there's two different things that are happening to those who
10:40
have prepared themselves. This is a reward.
10:43
There's joy to those who have rejected God.
10:46
This is. The time that.
10:48
The true up the. Judgement.
10:50
This is what will be coming when Jesus returns.
10:53
He's going to come back very differently than when he was
10:57
here the first time, the first time he.
10:59
Was here to save. People, which he did on the
11:03
cross, even though people don't. Some people don't realize that
11:08
by what he did on the cross. He gave us the.
11:10
Opportunity to be in God's Kingdom we.
11:12
Just have to accept. What he did repent of our sins
11:17
and. Receive the Holy Spirit which
11:20
who Jesus gives to us. When we have truly repented.
11:24
When we have truly thrown away all of the.
11:28
The ways that we. The sinful ways that we were
11:31
rebelling against. God when we reject.
11:33
Those. That's when.
11:35
Jesus will give the Holy Spirit. So.
11:39
It says they will be called the Holy People, the.
11:42
Redeemed of the Lord, and you will be.
11:45
Called sought after the. City no longer deserted.
11:49
So this certainly sounds like Jerusalem will someday actually
11:53
be devastated once again. And.
11:58
The prophecy does. Kind of tell us that.
12:02
So who? Are the holy people this first
12:05
lists? Four more names for God's
12:07
people. These names, like the earlier
12:09
ones, make it. Clear that the status of people
12:12
would be. Changed.
12:13
Their salvation would clearly. Define them.
12:15
As God's people, so this is the. End of chapter 62 and we're only
12:22
12 minutes into it, so I will go ahead into chapter 63.
12:27
Who is this coming from? Edom?
12:30
That's present day Jordan from Basra with his garments stained
12:36
Crimson. Who is this robed?
12:40
In splendor, striding forward in the greatness of his strength,
12:45
It is I proclaiming victory. My tea to.
12:49
Save. Why are your garments red like
12:52
those of 1 treading the winepress?
12:56
I have tread. I have.
12:58
Trodden the winepress alone from the nations.
13:03
No one was with me. I trampled them in my anger and
13:08
trod them down in my wrath. Their blood spat spattered.
13:13
My garments and I stained all my clothing.
13:18
This is Jesus. And there's something that I
13:21
also learned today was that he treads the wine press and then.
13:27
Goes to Basra. Because it says.
13:30
I have. Trodden the wine press alone and
13:33
so he's returning also then from Basra.
13:37
So he treads the wine press. Or maybe that's part of where
13:42
that's where it begins. I don't know.
13:44
But he comes from there and his clothes are blood stained.
13:48
And we find in the Book of Revelation that.
13:51
It talks about. In Revelation chapter 14.
13:57
It talks about. This reaping Chapter 14 Verse
14:01
15. Then another Angel came out of
14:04
the temple, this the heavenly temple, and called in a loud
14:07
voice to him who was sitting on the cloud.
14:11
Take your sickle and reap, because the time to reap has
14:15
come for the harvest. Of the.
14:17
Earth is ripe. So he who was seated on the
14:21
cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was.
14:24
Harvested. Now there's another Angel that
14:27
comes another Angel came out of the temple.
14:30
So there's one, it just. Says that was harvested, they
14:32
were all gathered. And he?
14:34
Too had a sharp sickle. So here's another Angel.
14:38
Still another Angel. Who had charge of the fire?
14:41
Came from the altar and called in a loud voice to him.
14:45
Who had the sharp sickle? Take your sharp sickle.
14:48
So this is. A separate one.
14:50
Take your sharp. Sickle and gather the.
14:52
Cluster of the grapes. From the Earth's vine.
14:55
Because it's grapes are ripe. The Angel swung his sickle on
15:00
the earth, gathered it's grapes and threw them into the great
15:04
wine press. Of God's wrath.
15:07
They were trampled in the wine press.
15:10
Outside the city. And blood flowed out.
15:16
Of the. Press rising as high.
15:18
As the horse's. Bridles for a distance of 1600
15:24
stadia, which is about 180 miles or about 300 kilometers.
15:30
This is a massive massacre of, I mean, a massive wine press.
15:40
I mean, we just can't even imagine 180 miles.
15:44
As high as the horse's bridles. That's deep.
15:48
That's pretty deep. And for 180 miles, this is
15:52
something unlike we've ever seen before.
15:58
Then it goes on to. Say it was.
16:00
For me, the day of vengeance, the year for me to redeem, had
16:06
come. I looked but there.
16:09
Was no one to. Help.
16:10
I was appalled. That no one gave.
16:13
Support. So my own arm achieved salvation
16:17
for me and my own wrath sustained me.
16:21
So I'm wondering, you know, Christians are gone here because
16:25
nobody is helping this Jesus. Nobody is helping him, and he's
16:31
all alone. I trampled the nations in my
16:33
anger, in my wrath. I made them drunk.
16:36
And poured their blood. On the ground now, Isaiah is
16:40
going to switch and go to a different verse, but I'm going
16:45
to. Read What the Study Bible.
16:46
Says about this wine press. Actually, let's let's just read
16:52
what it says about. Chapter 63.
16:56
Who were Edom and Basra? Edom was South and east of
17:00
Judah. Basra, Basra.
17:03
Was a shepherding center and an important fortress.
17:06
Of the city of. Edom, who was talking to whom in
17:10
these verses? Isaiah as a.
17:12
Prophet played the role. Of a watchman guarding the city
17:15
of Jerusalem, he asked, in effect, who goes there, and
17:19
discovered it was the Lord proclaiming victory, mighty to
17:23
save what was a wine press it was a.
17:26
Large VAT or through where several.
17:28
People holding onto ropes. Overhead could work together.
17:31
Stomping on grapes. To squeeze out the.
17:34
Juice which was drained off and collected the process.
17:38
Left their. Feet and clothing stained.
17:40
By the red grape. Juice similar to blood, as here
17:45
in verses 2 through 6, treading grapes in a winepress, is a
17:49
common biblical metaphor for the execution of God's.
17:53
Wrath I looked, but there. Was no one to help.
17:59
This verse is similar to chapter 59 verse 16 and the meaning of
18:04
the two. Verses is the.
18:06
Same. God himself rescues his people
18:09
because there is no one else to do it.
18:14
So then it continues on. We switched the tone here from
18:18
this vengeance and massacre to I don't even know if massacre is
18:23
even the right word. Because I'd have to.
18:25
Look up the definition but it's definitely destruction of
18:29
people. So praise and prayer is the next
18:33
part. I will tell.
18:35
Of the kindness. Of the Lord, the deeds for which
18:39
He is to be. Praised, according to.
18:41
All the Lord has. Done for us, yes, the many good
18:44
things he has done for Israel according to his compassion and
18:49
many kindnesses, he said. Surely they are my people,
18:54
children who will be true to me and.
18:57
So he. Became their savior.
19:00
This is why I. You know when there's words like
19:03
this that were written 700 BC, this is saying that.
19:07
God is their savior. And.
19:11
So how do they? How do people not recognize that
19:14
it it's through the Son of God, Jesus who did this, and Jesus
19:20
was with the Father eternally so.
19:24
He was just God. Manifested the Spirit of God was
19:28
within him, and that's how he came to.
19:31
Earth. As the Son of God, he was
19:33
conceived. By the Holy Spirit the Holy.
19:36
Spirit of God and that's that's how he saved us.
19:41
I mean. I guess it is very complicated
19:44
because we're. Talking about something
19:45
supernatural, but at the same time, it's seems so clear to me
19:51
in the Bible in all this in all. Their distress.
19:56
He too. So again we have Jesus
19:59
referenced again in all. Their distressed.
20:02
He, too, was distressed. And the Angel of his presence
20:06
saved them. In his love and mercy he
20:10
redeemed them. Jesus is called our Redeemer
20:13
also. He lifted them up and carried
20:16
them all the. Days of old.
20:19
Yet they rebelled and. Grieved His Holy Spirit.
20:24
It tells us not to. Grieve the Holy Spirit.
20:26
And here's why. Because the next thing it says
20:28
what happens when we. Grieve the Holy Spirit.
20:31
So he turned and became their enemy, and he himself fought
20:36
against them. So it gives you a.
20:40
Cause and effect. Yet they.
20:42
Rebelled and grieved. His spirit.
20:45
So when? We rebel, we grieve.
20:48
His Holy Spirit. So then what happens?
20:51
He turned and became their enemy, and he himself fought
20:56
against them. That's.
20:57
Why we don't want to? Grieve the Holy Spirit.
21:00
Because we don't want to be fighting against God.
21:04
There's there's something legal. About this, I believe spiritual
21:08
law. That I don't know.
21:11
All of it but. It seems.
21:13
I mean, it's inferred by the things.
21:16
That we read. Then his people recalled.
21:19
The days of. Old the days of Moses and his
21:21
people. Where is he who?
21:23
Brought them through the sea. With the shepherd of his flock,
21:28
where is he who set his Holy Spirit?
21:31
Among them, well, that again, is Jesus.
21:34
Who gives the Holy Spirit? From the Father, who sent his
21:39
glorious arm of power to be at Moses's right hand.
21:44
Who divided the waters? Before them, to gain for himself
21:49
everlasting renown, Who led them through the depths like a horse
21:54
in an open country. They did not stubble like cattle
21:58
that go down to the plain they were given.
22:01
Rest by the Spirit of the Lord. Now this is something else
22:06
again, the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of the Lord.
22:10
And they? This is how you we receive rest.
22:13
This is how we receive peace. It's through the Holy Spirit,
22:17
that is. Given to us through Jesus from
22:21
the Father. And it also says here in this.
22:24
This is how you guided your people.
22:27
The Spirit of the Lord is how we're guided.
22:32
To make. For yourself, a glorious.
22:34
Name. Look down from heaven and sea,
22:37
from your lofty throne, holy and glorious.
22:40
What are your zeal? And your might, your tenderness
22:43
and compassion are withheld from us.
22:46
But. You are our father though.
22:51
Abraham does not know us or Israel acknowledge us.
22:55
You, Lord, are our Father. Our.
22:59
Redeemer from of old is your name.
23:03
Why Lord do? You make us wander from your
23:06
ways and harden our hearts so that we do not Revere You Return
23:12
for the sake of your servants, the tribes that are your
23:15
inheritance. So.
23:17
Here the people are. Calling on him to return.
23:21
Calling on God for a little. While your your people possessed
23:30
your holy place. But now our enemies have
23:34
trampled down your sanctuary. So this is something else that I
23:41
thought of. When?
23:44
Was. Was in Revelation.
23:48
Oh gosh, what verse was that now?
23:51
Revelation. I don't have Revelation 11
23:56
about. These.
23:58
I'll read this Revelation Chapter 11 and I'll start from
24:04
verse one. I was given a So this is John
24:07
and this is within a vision that he sees when Jesus appears to
24:11
him and he said I was given a Reed like a measuring rod and
24:16
was told go and measure the temple of God and the.
24:21
Altar with. Its worshippers but exclude.
24:24
The outer court. Do not measure it.
24:26
Because it has. Been given to the Gentiles.
24:30
They will trample on the Holy. City for 40.
24:34
Two months and I will appoint MY2 witnesses and they will.
24:37
Prophecy. For 1260.
24:40
Days clothed. In sackcloth.
24:43
That's morning. So this is really interesting,
24:46
especially at this time right now, because in just a.
24:51
Couple weeks there is. Going to be a a meeting with
24:55
United Nations on September 22nd.
24:58
There will be a discussion about the 2.
25:01
State. Solution of Palestine and
25:03
Israel, we don't know what's going to happen from it.
25:07
We know there are several nations that are in support of
25:10
it and there are some few who are not in support of it.
25:16
But when this? Topic gets brought up.
25:19
This is certainly a time for us in the present to be watchful
25:24
because. We see this prophecy.
25:27
From 700 BC that says for a. Little while your people
25:32
possessed your holy place. But now our enemies have
25:36
trampled down your sanctuary. And then the Book of Revelations
25:40
says that there's this time of 42 months or 3 1/2.
25:45
Years where? It's turned over to the
25:50
Gentiles. So.
25:54
If if something happens. With this two state.
25:59
Solution on September 22nd and it's turned into a 2 state
26:04
solution and there you know the the.
26:06
Outer Court. Is given to the Gentiles.
26:09
We could very well be in this this time frame and and it's.
26:16
It's a little bit confusing it as to the sequence of events
26:20
that happened, but if that happens it.
26:24
We should read a little further because there's.
26:26
Going to be two witnesses and I because it says and I will
26:31
appoint MY2 witnesses and they will prophecy for 1200 and. 60
26:37
days. And again, that's 3 1/2 years
26:40
clothed in sackcloth, so they are mourning.
26:43
They are the 2 olive. Trees and the two lampstands,
26:49
and they stand before the Lord of the earth.
26:51
Well, that's obviously symbolic. And the lampstands in Revelation
26:58
have been churches. The 2.
27:00
Olive trees, I believe. Have been someone from Israel.
27:05
So whether this is like a A? I've.
27:09
Heard this. Described as maybe a grouping of
27:12
people, like multiple people or. If these are literally.
27:16
Just two. In some ways, it sounds like it
27:19
might be. Just two.
27:21
But then it's very, it's symbolic, so I don't know.
27:26
If it's two groups of people or literally two people, that will.
27:32
Prophecy for 1260 days. We'll see what happens.
27:37
Because this part of. It has not happened.
27:40
If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and
27:44
devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to
27:47
harm them must die. Now.
27:49
This could also be symbolic the fire.
27:52
Could be the word of God. Coming from their mouths, which
27:56
basically indicts them. Of their with.
28:00
Their evil, but here's something that's a little bit more
28:05
supernatural that we haven't seen, but it happened like in
28:09
the days of the Exodus from with Moses coming out of Egypt.
28:17
So these two witnesses referring to them in.
28:21
Verse 6 of chapter. 11 of Revelation they have.
28:24
Power to shut up the. Heavens so that it will not rain
28:29
during the time they are prophesying, I think.
28:32
Elijah also had that that ability too.
28:36
And they have power to turn the waters into blood.
28:41
That's what happened with Moses too, during the plagues and to
28:45
strike. The earth with every.
28:47
Kind of plague as often as they want.
28:50
So there are going. To be people at least 2.
28:54
People, maybe groups of people, I don't know, because again,
28:58
there's multiple theories on this that are going to have this
29:01
supernatural power that is from God and they're going to be
29:06
prophesying, so they are going to be witnessing.
29:10
About. Jesus, they're going to be
29:13
talking about this and that's their purpose.
29:16
And they will. Have powers.
29:17
That will be given to them from God now, when they have finished
29:21
their testimony. The.
29:22
Beast. Which is symbolic of kind of
29:26
like an alliance of nations or spiritual entities that comes up
29:31
from the abyss. So this is something I think
29:34
spiritual that comes up from the abyss will attack them and
29:39
overpower them and kill them. So they have 3 1/2 years to
29:44
prophecy and then they will be. Killed by the beast.
29:48
That comes up from the abyss. When I was reading this today,
29:51
it made me think about the 6th trumpet.
29:56
Where the? Angels who have been bound at
30:00
the Euphrates. Are released.
30:03
And so I wonder if that is when this happens.
30:09
Not sure the the sequence of events gets a little bit
30:12
confusing, maybe because I haven't studied it slow enough
30:16
and cross referenced enough to figure out the sequence of
30:20
events. But verse 8 says their bodies
30:24
this. Is the 2 witnesses will lie in
30:25
the public? Square of the Great.
30:27
City which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt where
30:33
also. Their Lord was crucified.
30:36
So to me it seems like this is specific in Jerusalem.
30:41
Because it says their bodies. Will lie in the public.
30:44
Square of the great city. Now this is where it seems like
30:48
it might. Be two literal.
30:50
People in the great. City.
30:53
I'm thinking it's Jerusalem. But he's figuratively.
30:56
Calling it Sodom and Egypt. Because of idolatry.
31:02
And they're also enslaved, but it.
31:06
Here's where it tells. Us.
31:07
It's Jerusalem, in my opinion is where.
31:09
Also their Lord was crucified. We know that's where Jesus was
31:13
crucified, so to me it sounds like their bodies are going to
31:18
lie in the public. Square of the Great.
31:20
City then it says for 3 1/2. Days which is.
31:23
Probably symbolic, just like just 3 1/2 days.
31:29
Some from every people, tribe, language and nation will.
31:34
Gaze. On their bodies and refuse them
31:37
burial, so they just they won't even bury them, the inhabitants.
31:44
Of the. Earth a lot of times when the
31:47
Bible says the inhabitants of the earth these.
31:49
Are I believe. The ungodly people will.
31:52
Gloat. Over them and will.
31:54
Celebrate by. Sending each other gifts.
31:57
Because these two prophets. Had tormented those who live on
32:03
the earth. So again, this seems to me.
32:05
That they are two prophets that will be.
32:08
Doing this and nobody wants to hear them, they're not happy
32:12
about them and so when it's over they're going to be sending each
32:15
other gifts. This reminded me of how it
32:18
currently is when other nations do hand out sweets when someone
32:27
from. Israel is killed.
32:29
The enemies. Of of Israel do.
32:31
This and I couldn't believe that really happened, but that
32:34
happens today and and it's something that I I just couldn't
32:40
imagine, you know, people sending each other gifts over
32:44
something like this very strange behavior but but.
32:49
After the. 3 1/2. Days the breath.
32:52
Of life from God entered them. So that's just like the holy.
32:56
Spirit and they stood on their feet and terror.
33:00
Struck those who saw. Them could you imagine all these
33:02
people who are like they're in 3 1/2 days and it's interesting,
33:07
like Jesus raised on the third day.
33:09
So it's also like symbolic, but, you know, all of a sudden these
33:12
people stand up. After they had.
33:15
No doubt been dead for 3 1/2 days and and again it's this 3
33:21
1/2 days kind of the symbolic also because it's 3 1/2 years
33:27
where the Holy Land is turned over to the gentiles then.
33:35
They heard a loud. Voice from heaven saying to
33:38
them, Come up here. And they went up to heaven in a
33:41
cloud while their enemies looked on.
33:44
At that very hour, there was a severe.
33:47
Earthquake and 1/10. Of the city.
33:49
Collapsed 7000 people were killed in the earthquake and the
33:56
survivors. Were.
33:57
Terrified and gave glory. To the God of.
34:00
Heaven. So isn't that, I mean, that's
34:04
really some, that's something to think about.
34:09
And then it continues on. But that's where I will end for
34:13
this one because we're not doing the study of the Book of
34:15
Revelation. So.
34:16
I will stop here. And this is the end of.
34:20
Chapter 60. Three and we'll pick.
34:22
Up Chapter 64. Next time, so hope you come back
34:25
for that one.
