- 1:37Speaker 3: Not only informed, but also to hang out with others.
- 1:40Speaker 2: I mean really that is one of the goals, is
- 1:42Speaker 2: to fellowship with others who are like minded.
- 1:44Speaker 3: And thinking of like minded gentlemen. Both of you are welcome.
- 1:48Speaker 4: Thank you. How you doing?
- 1:50Speaker 2: You know? I remember, you know, I took a class
- 1:54Speaker 2: on Kumron in seminary and so I've always loved the
- 1:58Speaker 2: Dead Sea scrolls and so to here with you guys
- 2:01Speaker 2: is great to talk about some of these things.
- 2:03Speaker 3: And I think for our audience.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Maybe Josh, want you share start with you for a second,
- 2:11Speaker 2: help our audience. Let's say they don't know anything about you.
- 2:15Speaker 2: What have you done and what have you written about
- 2:17Speaker 2: the Dead Sea Scrolls and Caman? And then I'll ask
- 2:19Speaker 2: you the same thing.
- 2:20Speaker 5: Sure, yeah, well, I've been studying it, not as long
- 2:22Speaker 5: as doctor Ken Johnson has, but he was actually the
- 2:25Speaker 5: one that really got me into the Dead Sea Scrolls.
- 2:27Speaker 5: And so I wrote my first book about it, which
- 2:30Speaker 5: was Lost Prophecies of Kumron, and I started writing that
- 2:33Speaker 5: in twenty twenty and now' and I just got the
- 2:36Speaker 5: final draft done. I'm working on an updated and expanded
- 2:39Speaker 5: version called Forgotten Prophecies of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and
- 2:44Speaker 5: that one it gets a lot more in depth with
- 2:47Speaker 5: some of the amazing prophecies and also the history of
- 2:49Speaker 5: the scenes.
- 2:50Speaker 4: Who were the.
- 2:50Speaker 5: Writers and keepers of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Not ever,
- 2:53Speaker 5: you scene had anything to do with the writing.
- 2:55Speaker 4: That was some of the scribes.
- 2:56Speaker 5: But it gets into all that history, gets in prophecies
- 3:00Speaker 5: that they had during their time, which they called the
- 3:02Speaker 5: Age of Torah and our time, which they actually called
- 3:04Speaker 5: the Age of Grace, which is really phenomenal stuff. So
- 3:07Speaker 5: I think people are going to get a lot out of it.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Awesome, and doctor ten here, you've written certainly a lot
- 3:12Speaker 2: about it and what kind of got you into this,
- 3:15Speaker 2: and then of course you kind of I wouldn't call
- 3:18Speaker 2: it a hobby, it's been your joy. Talk about what
- 3:22Speaker 2: got you into it and also kind of the breadth
- 3:24Speaker 2: of what you've written.
- 3:26Speaker 6: Well, I started when I became a Christian in my
- 3:28Speaker 6: teenage years, and then I realized, after going to different
- 3:32Speaker 6: churches that they taught different things different denominations. So I
- 3:36Speaker 6: got to the point where I looked up the early
- 3:37Speaker 6: church fathers to find out what they taught about all
- 3:40Speaker 6: the different things we disagree with, just for my own
- 3:43Speaker 6: peace of mind, to find out.
- 3:44Speaker 7: What was proper doctrine.
- 3:46Speaker 6: And in the process of doing that, they talked about
- 3:48Speaker 6: Eenoch and scrolls and several things like that. Then I
- 3:51Speaker 6: got recently the ability to go look at the entire
- 3:55Speaker 6: collection of Dead Sea scrolls and look at them, translate them,
- 3:59Speaker 6: see what I thought, compare them from a Christian standpoint point,
- 4:03Speaker 6: and found out that they had a lot of extra
- 4:05Speaker 6: biblical commentaries prophecies mainly about the First Coming, but completely accurate.
- 4:11Speaker 6: And then there's things about the Second coming, So I
- 4:14Speaker 6: just wanted to pull them all together because I've always
- 4:16Speaker 6: been fascinated with prophecy also, so that's why I do
- 4:20Speaker 6: what I do.
- 4:21Speaker 2: You know, when you think about the Diazzy Scrolls, you
- 4:23Speaker 2: know originally began to be discovered in nineteen forty seven,
- 4:27Speaker 2: you know, right around the establishment of the State of Israel.
- 4:29Speaker 2: Maybe let's talk about that. We know that at least
- 4:33Speaker 2: in the New Testament, we have the Pharisees, we have
- 4:34Speaker 2: the Sadducees, we have the Herodians, we have the Zelots.
- 4:38Speaker 2: You have these different political parties, and the New Testament
- 4:42Speaker 2: does not mention this group known as the scenes. And
- 4:46Speaker 2: so where do we Josh tell us kind of and
- 4:51Speaker 2: get kind of go back and forth here, this will
- 4:53Speaker 2: just be fun. Where do we learn about the scenes
- 4:55Speaker 2: at all? If you know, not from the New Testament?
- 4:57Speaker 2: Where do we hear about them?
- 4:58Speaker 5: Yeah, one of the first mentions that we get, if
- 4:59Speaker 5: not first mentioned, is in Josephus, and a scene is
- 5:03Speaker 5: just a word that means healer. So we don't see
- 5:06Speaker 5: that in the New Testament, but we see it in
- 5:08Speaker 5: extra biblical works like Josephus and lots of other places.
- 5:12Speaker 5: They are actually written about quite extensively, like in Hippolytis,
- 5:17Speaker 5: which actually in my new book I do include all
- 5:20Speaker 5: of that as appendices. There's eight appendices in the new
- 5:24Speaker 5: book with all these ancient church fathers that talked about
- 5:27Speaker 5: the scenes and ancient historians and stuff, and like, Now,
- 5:31Speaker 5: that's a good question though, like in the New Testament,
- 5:33Speaker 5: do you see a correlation can between Like if there
- 5:36Speaker 5: was a group mentioned, who would the Ascenes be? Would
- 5:38Speaker 5: that be the scribes or who do you.
- 5:40Speaker 6: Think describes were a different group, But generally they were
- 5:44Speaker 6: referred to as just the Jews. And the interesting thing
- 5:47Speaker 6: about that is when you actually go back and pull
- 5:49Speaker 6: it all together. There are several scenes in scripture. Yeah,
- 5:53Speaker 6: according to the Church Fathers and the Dead Seas Grolls
- 5:56Speaker 6: both Simeon who's sacrifice sacrifice but circumcised. Our Lord apparently
- 6:03Speaker 6: was a teacher of the school of the Prophets, and
- 6:05Speaker 6: therefore in a scene they kept that whole order. Another
- 6:08Speaker 6: one is when Paulin's and Barnabas were anointed to go forth.
- 6:13Speaker 6: It said the Holy Spirit wanted them to go forth
- 6:16Speaker 6: on missionary trips, and it said that three prophets came
- 6:19Speaker 6: down from Antioch and it names them. One of them
- 6:22Speaker 6: was Monocam or Manian as it is in Greek, and
- 6:25Speaker 6: we have his whole history of him being with the
- 6:27Speaker 6: Ascene Order and actually leaving the Sanhedrin because of becoming
- 6:31Speaker 6: a believer, and it's really fascinating to see that whole thing,
- 6:36Speaker 6: all the history behind it.
- 6:37Speaker 5: Was that the same individual that had that prophecy about Herod.
- 6:41Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, yeah, that's him.
- 6:42Speaker 2: So we'll talk about that and don't leave the audience
- 6:44Speaker 2: out prophecy of Herod talking.
- 6:46Speaker 5: About Yeah, so there was an a scene named Monoccam
- 6:49Speaker 5: that had when Herod was basically a kid, you know,
- 6:52Speaker 5: he was a young a lot younger.
- 6:54Speaker 3: We're talking about Herod the Great here.
- 6:56Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, he had this prophecy that he would be
- 6:58Speaker 5: a great king but then eventually become corrupt. Well, when
- 7:01Speaker 5: Herod actually became king, he brought Monocham, you know, two
- 7:06Speaker 5: whomen said like okay, well what now, and like how
- 7:09Speaker 5: long is my reign gonna last? And all that, and
- 7:11Speaker 5: he told him and that that was one of the
- 7:13Speaker 5: amazing things about the scene is that the scenes is
- 7:15Speaker 5: that they're recorded as having one hundred percent perfect prophecy, uh,
- 7:19Speaker 5: and that that's just one small example, but but yeah,
- 7:22Speaker 5: it's it's fascinating stuff.
- 7:24Speaker 6: Yeah, and when you read in Acts that talks about
- 7:27Speaker 6: how this is Manian or Monocam, the one that was
- 7:30Speaker 6: in Herod's household, So just to let you know, we're.
- 7:33Speaker 7: Talking about the same guy.
- 7:34Speaker 6: The fascinating part about that is it's not even really
- 7:37Speaker 6: that hard. They're known to be prophets. But if you know,
- 7:39Speaker 6: the prophecies about the one that betrays the Christ.
- 7:43Speaker 7: Is in a Dumian.
- 7:45Speaker 6: And then you're looking at rom gooing. We tried Pharisees
- 7:48Speaker 6: that didn't work. We tried Sadducees that didn't work. We're
- 7:50Speaker 6: going back and forth, and so the next logical place
- 7:54Speaker 6: might be one of these five guys ones in a Dumian.
- 7:56Speaker 7: Well that's him. And it's pretty obvious. You can go
- 7:59Speaker 7: back through and look at all.
- 8:00Speaker 6: These things and see how you could just figure it
- 8:02Speaker 6: out almost after the prophecies are given.
- 8:05Speaker 7: It's fascinating.
- 8:07Speaker 2: And we know that the Josephus mentions that the Ascenes
- 8:11Speaker 2: were not just out in the desert, you know, they
- 8:14Speaker 2: had they had they were all over, they were all
- 8:16Speaker 2: over the place. And so he I think he lists
- 8:18Speaker 2: they numbered in the thousands, and so let's talk about that.
- 8:22Speaker 2: The we know as well, you know, the first century
- 8:24Speaker 2: hundred BC. We see even before that the Maccabean revolt,
- 8:29Speaker 2: and so then we see all of the Hasmonium dynasty
- 8:32Speaker 2: and and that that connection that happens in that one
- 8:35Speaker 2: hundred years, you know, basically one hundred BC.
- 8:38Speaker 3: Down to zero, if you want to say it that way.
- 8:39Speaker 2: But let's talk about the time frame, the the scenes
- 8:45Speaker 2: in the sense of what do we know as it
- 8:48Speaker 2: relates to their origination and their time frame and their
- 8:52Speaker 2: extensive even maybe a little bit of a history, how
- 8:55Speaker 2: they rebelled against the Jerusalem, you know, group talk about that.
- 9:01Speaker 6: Basically their story is that Jews were Jews, and when
- 9:05Speaker 6: we came back with Ezra, everybody believed in a Messiah,
- 9:08Speaker 6: him dying for our sins. It's just basic one oh
- 9:10Speaker 6: one Judaism. Then colts rose up for different reasons and
- 9:14Speaker 6: became known as Pharisees and Sadducees. Somehow the cults took
- 9:18Speaker 6: over the government and then ousted them. There was even
- 9:21Speaker 6: these targeted assassinations, and they had to go to Egypt
- 9:25Speaker 6: for a while until the Daniel prophecy about Rome stepping
- 9:28Speaker 6: in and fixing, creating a piece. And at that point
- 9:31Speaker 6: they were supposed to go back into Israel and prepare
- 9:34Speaker 6: the way of the Messiah. So it was all said
- 9:36Speaker 6: in their mind what they should do. So if you
- 9:38Speaker 6: look at it like that, Judaism is the same as
- 9:40Speaker 6: Christianity has the same doctrine. And when they don't because
- 9:44Speaker 6: it's Pharisees and Sadducees, it's basically because a cult rose
- 9:47Speaker 6: up and kind of took everything over. So their basic
- 9:51Speaker 6: ideas that stuff started around the two hundreds BC and
- 9:55Speaker 6: kind of came in waves, and then they had the
- 9:58Speaker 6: dispersion and the comeback, And there's a whole lot of
- 10:01Speaker 6: history that they give. They say that there's actually a
- 10:04Speaker 6: book with everybody's genealogies and the events in Shmida's and
- 10:09Speaker 6: jubileeze throughout all of time that they have, So it's fascinating.
- 10:13Speaker 5: Yeah, And one of the one of the major things
- 10:15Speaker 5: that caused the split was the issue with the calendar.
- 10:19Speaker 5: So probably around the time of Antiochus Epiphanes fourth, maybe fifth,
- 10:25Speaker 5: but probably the fourth, they they came in and they said, okay, well,
- 10:29Speaker 5: basically we'll let you do some of your Jewish stuff,
- 10:31Speaker 5: but you have to adopt our lunar calendar, because before
- 10:34Speaker 5: that they had a they had a solar one, the
- 10:36Speaker 5: one that they said that God gave to them and uh,
- 10:40Speaker 5: and there there was a big split there. So the
- 10:42Speaker 5: people that would become the scenes uh said that they
- 10:44Speaker 5: weren't going to do that, so they left, and then
- 10:47Speaker 5: the ones that stayed and said, okay, you know, we'll
- 10:49Speaker 5: change our calendar. They changed to this pagan lunar calendar.
- 10:53Speaker 2: So so the Greeks, you're saying that the Greeks were
- 10:55Speaker 2: imposing on them a lunar calendar.
- 10:56Speaker 4: Yeah, yep.
- 10:57Speaker 5: And and it's interesting because you can look at the
- 11:00Speaker 5: history of the Selucid Empire and they have a calendar
- 11:03Speaker 5: that's basically the same as the lunar calendar that they
- 11:05Speaker 5: ended up adopting, so you can kind of pinpoint where
- 11:08Speaker 5: this was. But according to the scenes, that was a
- 11:12Speaker 5: major sin because there were certain there were certain rituals
- 11:16Speaker 5: that had to be done on specific days, and if
- 11:18Speaker 5: you don't have the proper calendar, you're going to miss
- 11:20Speaker 5: the days. And we know with some of those things,
- 11:23Speaker 5: if you do them wrong, you could lose your life.
- 11:25Speaker 5: And what's really interesting is there's actual records where it
- 11:30Speaker 5: was like before that time, out of all of history,
- 11:33Speaker 5: there was maybe eighteen priests or.
- 11:35Speaker 4: Something like that that have ever died.
- 11:37Speaker 5: But then after that happened, it it jumped up to
- 11:40Speaker 5: like three hundred that died because they were doing these
- 11:44Speaker 5: rituals and things on the wrong days. They were doing
- 11:46Speaker 5: them wrong, so that caused that was one of the
- 11:49Speaker 5: main things that caused its big division. But what's amazing
- 11:51Speaker 5: is that that original solar calendar was perfect and it
- 11:55Speaker 5: fits with the Bible. So when we get day counts
- 11:58Speaker 5: like prophetic day counts with the two whitnesses, or even
- 12:01Speaker 5: even things where it says, you know when the third
- 12:03Speaker 5: day of the month this happened, well, it's it's mentioning
- 12:06Speaker 5: it for a specific reason. And now that we know
- 12:08Speaker 5: what that calendar is, and now that we have that calendar,
- 12:10Speaker 5: thanks largely to people like Ken Johnson, who I wouldn't
- 12:14Speaker 5: be able to put all that together, but we can
- 12:17Speaker 5: actually see like, okay it says this specific day, we
- 12:21Speaker 5: can look and see if it falls on a festival
- 12:22Speaker 5: day or something like that, and even prophetically it answers
- 12:25Speaker 5: amazing questions.
- 12:26Speaker 4: There's a big debate do the.
- 12:28Speaker 5: Two witnesses come in the first half or second half
- 12:31Speaker 5: of the tribulation? Well, in my mind, that's settled now.
- 12:33Speaker 5: It has to be the first half. And I go
- 12:35Speaker 5: into the book as to why it has to do
- 12:37Speaker 5: with they had what's called a leap week every five
- 12:42Speaker 5: or six years. When you look at the prophetic day
- 12:45Speaker 5: counts of the two Witnesses or of all the other
- 12:49Speaker 5: stuff in the second half of the tribulation, it all
- 12:52Speaker 5: fits perfectly, so in the first in the second half,
- 12:55Speaker 5: there's probably not a leap week there.
- 12:57Speaker 4: In the first half.
- 12:58Speaker 5: The two witnesses stuff makes a lot more sense if
- 13:01Speaker 5: you have that extra week, because then you start seeing
- 13:03Speaker 5: festival days that line up with them, and so in
- 13:06Speaker 5: my in my mind, they have.
- 13:08Speaker 4: To come in the first half of the tribulation.
- 13:09Speaker 5: So so things like and there's of course there's other
- 13:11Speaker 5: reasons too, why why that's the case where you don't
- 13:14Speaker 5: need the calendar for that, But it's it's little things
- 13:16Speaker 5: like that, like just knowing those day accounts, having the
- 13:18Speaker 5: calendar and being being able to actually count it out.
- 13:20Speaker 5: It's just it's explosive, it's it's amazing in terms of prophecy.
- 13:23Speaker 2: So so how do we uh, when we think about,
- 13:26Speaker 2: at least in the Bible, that the month begins on
- 13:30Speaker 2: the new moon. So that's very lunar, right, not exactly.
- 13:36Speaker 2: So yeah, explain that because again you see, you.
- 13:40Speaker 6: Know, there's a specific word for moon and there's a
- 13:43Speaker 6: specific word for new month, and if you're using a
- 13:47Speaker 6: lunar calendar, it would be one and the same.
- 13:49Speaker 4: But when you go.
- 13:50Speaker 6: Through the scriptures in the Old Testament and the New
- 13:52Speaker 6: Testament Greek, the Greek and Hebrew both it's actually the
- 13:55Speaker 6: word for new month instead, and so it doesn't really.
- 13:59Speaker 4: Say new moon.
- 14:00Speaker 2: Yeah, khdesh, right, I mean, so you have so that
- 14:04Speaker 2: that's very important because again here you have this I
- 14:07Speaker 2: would say, I don't know, maybe it's forced on it
- 14:10Speaker 2: forced on the text that rodesh is this idea of
- 14:13Speaker 2: a new moon rather than a new month.
- 14:16Speaker 6: Yeah, so it's really important that way. Along with what
- 14:18Speaker 6: you were saying, one thing I thought was fascinating is
- 14:22Speaker 6: the we had the yam Kipur war and in nineteen
- 14:26Speaker 6: seventy three, and we just had the war. We're started
- 14:30Speaker 6: with Hamas last year. So when you look at the
- 14:33Speaker 6: dates of when they start, it doesn't it's not the
- 14:36Speaker 6: same date on the Gregorian, the modern Jewish calendar, the
- 14:39Speaker 6: Arabic counter calendar, or any other calendar, but on the
- 14:43Speaker 6: Dead Sea Scroll calendar, it's the exact same day, and
- 14:47Speaker 6: it's that's just one and you could say that's a coincidence.
- 14:50Speaker 6: But when you start seeing all those tiny kind of coincidences,
- 14:54Speaker 6: that's what makes it really interesting to look in the
- 14:57Speaker 6: study of prophecy and other things.
- 14:58Speaker 2: So let's let's talk about then, the the debate that's
- 15:03Speaker 2: happening in the sense, you know, we have the state
- 15:07Speaker 2: of Israel. You know, here they are, you know, what
- 15:11Speaker 2: is it year fifty seven eighty four or something like that, right, whatever,
- 15:14Speaker 2: whatever the year is. But yet that is based on
- 15:21Speaker 2: a pharisaical calendar.
- 15:24Speaker 3: So let's talk about that.
- 15:24Speaker 2: Let's talk about these these two For those that might
- 15:27Speaker 2: not know anything about this, like well, yeah, yeah, but
- 15:30Speaker 2: I know, I'm I follow the Jews, I follow israela
- 15:32Speaker 2: supporter of Israel, and I mean, that's that's fine. But
- 15:35Speaker 2: their calendar says it's you know, fifty seventy eighty four whatever.
- 15:38Speaker 2: But what's this idea with the Ascene caller. Let's talk
- 15:40Speaker 2: about the differences there Where Where did it where did
- 15:42Speaker 2: it originate from this this difference.
- 15:45Speaker 6: The major place in the there's a there's an ancient
- 15:49Speaker 6: Pharisee document called the sata Alam.
- 15:51Speaker 7: It's a historical book. It dates from about one sixty
- 15:55Speaker 7: a d.
- 15:55Speaker 6: And it talks about the fact that at one particular
- 15:58Speaker 6: point there was a Rabbi Yoshi that didn't want people
- 16:02Speaker 6: to associate Daniel chapter nine with the coming of Messiah.
- 16:05Speaker 7: So he said, the prophecy.
- 16:06Speaker 6: In Daniel nine is from the going forth to rebuild
- 16:09Speaker 6: a Jerusalem. That command to the destruction of that temple.
- 16:13Speaker 6: Now that's only forty years difference, and of course you
- 16:17Speaker 6: can't do that. He was kind of laughed out, but
- 16:18Speaker 6: he came up with two other theories about how that which,
- 16:22Speaker 6: and he changed the era of the Persians, changed the dates.
- 16:25Speaker 7: On that stuff.
- 16:26Speaker 6: And still no one liked it, because you just can't
- 16:29Speaker 6: do that. But then there was the dispersion and all
- 16:32Speaker 6: the other stuff. So then what happens in the second century,
- 16:36Speaker 6: second or third century Rabbi helll recreated the calendar, and
- 16:41Speaker 6: all of a sudden we have this missing one hundred
- 16:43Speaker 6: and seventy one hundred and sixty seven years. And so
- 16:45Speaker 6: from that time forward, we've had the lunar calendar with
- 16:49Speaker 6: that number on it. And if you go back to
- 16:52Speaker 6: the Tulmud, which actually quotes the say to Rolama's accurate history,
- 16:56Speaker 6: you can see that they quote it, they look at
- 16:59Speaker 6: it as legitimate, but they still hold onto the other system.
- 17:02Speaker 6: So we've got actual written documents on how and where
- 17:05Speaker 6: those dates changed.
- 17:07Speaker 2: I think it's important to remember that during this time
- 17:10Speaker 2: there was a great amount of even really the first
- 17:14Speaker 2: century into the second century, we think about Justin Martyr,
- 17:17Speaker 2: there was a great level of Christian evangelism or Messianic
- 17:21Speaker 2: evangelism by Jews, by Messianic Jews. Of course, as we know,
- 17:25Speaker 2: the first Christians were Jews, and so you have this
- 17:27Speaker 2: history and even Justin Martyr in his book, you know,
- 17:29Speaker 2: the second century, he's you know, he's talking with Trifle,
- 17:33Speaker 2: the Jew right, and he's having this discussion and he's
- 17:35Speaker 2: talking about Messianic prophecy, and so there was a lot
- 17:38Speaker 2: of success as it relates to winning over people who
- 17:42Speaker 2: are Jewish based on Messianic prophecy.
- 17:44Speaker 3: And so you do see this this.
- 17:46Speaker 2: Rabbinic movement that ended up seeking to change even the text,
- 17:51Speaker 2: the Masterotic text, as well as these others in order
- 17:54Speaker 2: to make it not possible for Jesus to be the Messiah,
- 17:58Speaker 2: and so they to.
- 17:59Speaker 3: Think in terms of it might have been. And I
- 18:01Speaker 3: think it is true in ancient.
- 18:03Speaker 2: Times there was such a for the scribes and others,
- 18:07Speaker 2: the transcribers who would copy these Hebrew texts. They were
- 18:10Speaker 2: very serious and respectful. But later, when you have such
- 18:14Speaker 2: success going on with Jesus being received and so obviously
- 18:21Speaker 2: right fulfilling messy in a prophecy that the early rabbis
- 18:24Speaker 2: were like again after Jesus died in seconds first second history,
- 18:28Speaker 2: we need to fix this. We need to change this,
- 18:30Speaker 2: We need to limit the opportunity for.
- 18:33Speaker 3: Jesus to be seen as the Messiah.
- 18:35Speaker 2: I mean, there's definitely so this comes into play then
- 18:38Speaker 2: as it relates to the calendar issues.
- 18:41Speaker 4: Oh yeah, for sure.
- 18:42Speaker 5: And it's really interesting too because going along with that
- 18:47Speaker 5: in academia, there's this big mystery, like what happened to
- 18:49Speaker 5: these scenes? They just disappeared and they left all of
- 18:51Speaker 5: their scrolls behind. Well one thing that and this was
- 18:55Speaker 5: something new that I learned that I didn't write about
- 18:57Speaker 5: in the first book, but it's in the second book.
- 18:59Speaker 5: Is they they there was an ancient custom. I guess
- 19:05Speaker 5: you could call it a ritual where they looked at
- 19:08Speaker 5: the text as so holy, they weren't just if they
- 19:10Speaker 5: were done with them, or they weren't just gonna throw
- 19:12Speaker 5: them away, so they would actually like bury them or
- 19:14Speaker 5: put them in pots and put them in caves, and
- 19:16Speaker 5: so they would do that. So that's probably why a
- 19:19Speaker 5: lot of those were left behind. But the Acenes were
- 19:22Speaker 5: the early Christians. Those were most likely the ones that
- 19:25Speaker 5: you know, when you read through the Gospels, there are
- 19:27Speaker 5: sometimes where Jesus just like walks into a room and
- 19:30Speaker 5: everybody gets saved, you know, basically, But then there are
- 19:32Speaker 5: other times he's saying everything he can say and he
- 19:34Speaker 5: just can't make headway with some people. Well, I think
- 19:36Speaker 5: that's the difference between who's the Acene and who's the
- 19:39Speaker 5: Pharisee or sadducy. Because the Ascenes had all these really
- 19:41Speaker 5: specific prophecies of what to look for with the Messiah.
- 19:45Speaker 4: They knew exactly what it was.
- 19:46Speaker 5: They knew that it was that the Messiah was going
- 19:48Speaker 5: to be, you know, you know, come into two stages,
- 19:52Speaker 5: first coming and second coming, and the Pharisees had a
- 19:55Speaker 5: different interpretation of that.
- 19:57Speaker 4: They thought it was gonna be two different like people.
- 19:59Speaker 5: And so when they when they saw all this happening,
- 20:02Speaker 5: they knew it and they got saved immediately. Well, those
- 20:05Speaker 5: are also the ones that took the Great Commission seriously,
- 20:07Speaker 5: and I think well, and they also knew there was
- 20:10Speaker 5: this prophecy about the tumble being destroyed. They knew they
- 20:12Speaker 5: had to get out anyway. But they were the first Christians.
- 20:15Speaker 5: They like we come from the Acenes. They went out,
- 20:18Speaker 5: they took what scrolls they could, buried the rest, and
- 20:22Speaker 5: went out and preached the Gospel to the world.
- 20:24Speaker 4: And we're the.
- 20:25Speaker 5: Benefactors of that. And to me, just just the fact
- 20:27Speaker 5: that we have that rich of history that most of
- 20:30Speaker 5: the Church doesn't know about, I mean, actually a lot
- 20:32Speaker 5: of a lot of Jewish people unfortunately don't know about either.
- 20:35Speaker 5: Just the fact that that's there is just mind blowing.
- 20:39Speaker 2: But let's talk about the which what a lot of
- 20:42Speaker 2: people want to talk about. And I think because we
- 20:44Speaker 2: all love I think we are all guilty of loving dates.
- 20:50Speaker 2: I mean, whether it's date setting, whether it's date suggesting,
- 20:53Speaker 2: or maybe it's just hopeful. I mean, I mean I
- 20:55Speaker 2: would love for the for to know that the date
- 20:58Speaker 2: of the rapture or the date of the arrival of
- 21:00Speaker 2: the Secondcoming. And so let's talk about the twenty twenty
- 21:06Speaker 2: five date. Okay, there's this date. It's not just manufactured
- 21:10Speaker 2: out of thin air. Why you know, again, for the
- 21:14Speaker 2: average person that doesn't do this like what you guys
- 21:19Speaker 2: do in the sense of, you know, study full time
- 21:21Speaker 2: and everything, why should twenty twenty five be have any
- 21:25Speaker 2: significance at all.
- 21:26Speaker 3: Let's talk about that.
- 21:27Speaker 6: Well, basically, just really quickly. They have a calendar and
- 21:31Speaker 6: their concept is there are seven thousand years between the
- 21:34Speaker 6: creations and these scenes have a scene between the creation
- 21:38Speaker 6: of Genesis and the creations of a new heaven and
- 21:41Speaker 6: a new Earth, so that encompasses six thousand years of
- 21:44Speaker 6: man's history.
- 21:44Speaker 7: And a millennial reign. They have that all mapped out.
- 21:47Speaker 6: So theoretically, if that's correct, the last thousand years starts
- 21:51Speaker 6: in the year six thousand, and they divide these into
- 21:55Speaker 6: jubilee periods fifty year periods, which sometimes they call generations.
- 22:00Speaker 6: And so with this they mark the age of Creation,
- 22:03Speaker 6: the Age of Torah, and the Age of Grace, and
- 22:05Speaker 6: then a millennial reign. So not trying to set dates
- 22:09Speaker 6: per se, but on their calendar, that last part should
- 22:12Speaker 6: start in the year six thousand. So the last generation
- 22:15Speaker 6: or the last fifty year period from before the year
- 22:20Speaker 6: six thousand would start in twenty twenty six. So the
- 22:23Speaker 6: year twenty twenty five is the jubilee or the fiftieth
- 22:27Speaker 6: year of a fifty year period. And so a lot
- 22:31Speaker 6: of the scrolls talk about the fact that prophecy can
- 22:33Speaker 6: happen at any time, but the bulk of prophecies occur
- 22:37Speaker 6: at the change of the ages and the change of
- 22:39Speaker 6: the jubilee periods. So when we're looking at that and
- 22:43Speaker 6: we think about Jesus talking about the last generation that
- 22:46Speaker 6: kind of thing, we see that a lot of prophecies
- 22:48Speaker 6: will probably happen in twenty twenty six to twenty seventy five.
- 22:53Speaker 6: Now like I would have guessed, Yam or the war
- 22:57Speaker 6: end with Hamas would have started a couple of years
- 22:59Speaker 6: from now, but it actually started, you know, last year yep.
- 23:03Speaker 2: So in thinking about this, I know, you know, my
- 23:06Speaker 2: backgrounds in the ancient Eery East, and so there's you
- 23:09Speaker 2: have the biblical chronology, the kings and everything else, and
- 23:11Speaker 2: they do a lot of rainal years and you know,
- 23:14Speaker 2: fifth King of you know, fifth year or so it's
- 23:15Speaker 2: such and such. Well, in thinking about that, you have
- 23:21Speaker 2: the trying to connect with a like an absolute date,
- 23:24Speaker 2: you know, in the sense of especially connecting with Egypt.
- 23:26Speaker 2: Egypt is very helpful when you look about the different
- 23:29Speaker 2: dynasties of Egypt. So in that case you have the
- 23:34Speaker 2: whether it's the Egyptian chronology or even the Biblical chronology.
- 23:38Speaker 2: Here you have the a scene chronology. So you have
- 23:40Speaker 2: these different calendars out there. I guess for us, we're
- 23:44Speaker 2: we're sitting here living in the the Gregorian chronology right right,
- 23:49Speaker 2: So Josh, how how do we get how do we
- 23:53Speaker 2: anchor how how do you how do you guys? How
- 23:57Speaker 2: do you anchor the Asine calendar anywhere connected with the
- 24:01Speaker 2: Gregrowian calendar, which will allow us to understand why there's
- 24:04Speaker 2: we're in twenty twenty five, Well, it shouldn't two thousand
- 24:06Speaker 2: years been there?
- 24:07Speaker 3: So where does it anchor at?
- 24:09Speaker 5: Yeah, there are definitely differences. But Ken has actually developed
- 24:12Speaker 5: a really wonderful free tool on a website called DSS
- 24:15Speaker 5: calendar dot org where it puts it superimposes the Ascene
- 24:19Speaker 5: calendar right onto our Gregorian calendar, so you could look
- 24:22Speaker 5: at and it does it for year to month to day.
- 24:25Speaker 5: We also do have a print version that he and
- 24:27Speaker 5: I worked on together of people are interested in that
- 24:29Speaker 5: if they want to hang it on their wall. But
- 24:31Speaker 5: it's a free resource and you can use that to
- 24:34Speaker 5: see like, okay, so today's you know, this day would
- 24:37Speaker 5: of that?
- 24:37Speaker 4: What would that be on the Ascene calendar?
- 24:39Speaker 5: So that helps out a lot too, so then you
- 24:41Speaker 5: don't have to do a bunch of math every single
- 24:43Speaker 5: time you want to figure it out.
- 24:44Speaker 4: And one thing that I wanted to mention.
- 24:45Speaker 5: To about the prophecies being in the last jubilee and
- 24:51Speaker 5: the final jubilee of the Age of Torus, so their
- 24:54Speaker 5: ages would be two thousand years apiece, and then there's
- 24:56Speaker 5: a final like Sabbath age that's only a thousand years.
- 25:00Speaker 5: That's we would call that the millennial reign of Christ.
- 25:03Speaker 5: Well at the at the last fifty years of the
- 25:06Speaker 5: Age of Torah that was between twenty five AD and
- 25:09Speaker 5: seventy five AD according to our understanding of or seventy
- 25:13Speaker 5: six eighty. But it's in that it's in that time period. Well,
- 25:17Speaker 5: the Rapture is only one prophecy. There's a lot of
- 25:20Speaker 5: prophecies that we have that's going to happen before Jesus
- 25:23Speaker 5: returns and sets things straight for the millennial reign. Well,
- 25:26Speaker 5: when you think about that, uh, twenty five eighty, Jesus
- 25:31Speaker 5: came the first time, probably around twenty nine, thirty eighty
- 25:35Speaker 5: somewhere around there, starting ministry, Yeah, starting his ministry, and
- 25:38Speaker 5: then look at all of the prophecies that got fulfilled
- 25:41Speaker 5: in a really short amount of time until he was
- 25:44Speaker 5: killed in thirty two eighty and the in dwelling of
- 25:47Speaker 5: the Holy Spirit and all that, and then and then
- 25:48Speaker 5: finally you get you get a few decades where things
- 25:51Speaker 5: happened too until the destruction of the Temple. But all
- 25:53Speaker 5: that really important stuff that sets the stage for the
- 25:56Speaker 5: next age. They didn't have to wait till till seventy five,
- 26:00Speaker 5: seventy six a d For that to occur. That happened
- 26:02Speaker 5: pretty early in the final jubilee of.
- 26:06Speaker 4: The Age of Torah.
- 26:07Speaker 5: So while we can't put a specific date, you know,
- 26:09Speaker 5: we could say that, yeah, according to the Asscene calendar,
- 26:12Speaker 5: twenty seventy six should be like the first day of
- 26:18Speaker 5: the New Age if their calendar is correct, and if
- 26:23Speaker 5: it continues the way that we think it's going to.
- 26:24Speaker 5: But that doesn't mean that we have to wait all
- 26:26Speaker 5: that time, or even seven years before that, necessarily for
- 26:29Speaker 5: the rapture. There's a lot of different ways that this
- 26:31Speaker 5: could pan out. We could have an early rapture, and
- 26:33Speaker 5: you could have a gap between the rapture and the tribulation.
- 26:36Speaker 5: That's one possibility. You could also have a gap between
- 26:40Speaker 5: the end of the tribulation and when the next age starts.
- 26:43Speaker 5: How long is it going to take for Jesus to
- 26:45Speaker 5: judge everybody?
- 26:45Speaker 4: You know?
- 26:46Speaker 5: How long is it going to take to set the
- 26:47Speaker 5: world up and to build the amazing temple in city
- 26:51Speaker 5: that we read about at the end of Ezekiel, which,
- 26:54Speaker 5: of course we all believe that's all totally literal, it's
- 26:56Speaker 5: not figurative. Well, that stuff takes time, and I don't
- 26:58Speaker 5: think Jesus is just gonna come down stamp its fingers
- 27:01Speaker 5: and everything's different. I think that stuff is going to
- 27:03Speaker 5: have to be built, so we don't necessarily have to
- 27:06Speaker 5: wait that long. We can't put a date on the rapture,
- 27:09Speaker 5: of course there is, and there's nothing in the Dead
- 27:11Speaker 5: Sea scrolls saying any kind of date or anything like that.
- 27:14Speaker 5: It's really consistent with Biblical theology. There's little hints of
- 27:17Speaker 5: the rapture throughout it, but it doesn't give us a date,
- 27:20Speaker 5: so we don't know. But so the dates that we
- 27:23Speaker 5: have are are more about a time frame rather than
- 27:29Speaker 5: a specific date. So we're looking at a fifty year
- 27:31Speaker 5: time frame where a lot of things could happen early on,
- 27:33Speaker 5: just like just like it did at the end end
- 27:36Speaker 5: of the Age of Toras. So I think I think
- 27:38Speaker 5: that can kind of help hopefully relieve some people when
- 27:40Speaker 5: they hear twenty seventy five.
- 27:41Speaker 4: I gotta wait that long. I'm not going to live
- 27:43Speaker 4: that long. You know.
- 27:43Speaker 2: Let's let's talk about that, because you know, and I'd
- 27:47Speaker 2: just like to throw things out there.
- 27:48Speaker 3: That's where my mind works.
- 27:50Speaker 2: So we know on the Gregorian calendar that we are
- 27:54Speaker 2: if if.
- 27:55Speaker 3: Jesus, most New Testament scholars.
- 27:57Speaker 2: Believe Jesus was Crispine resurrected on thirty or thirty three.
- 28:01Speaker 3: Eighty Okay, that's the kind of the those two years.
- 28:03Speaker 2: Some people will say twenty nine, but that that's not
- 28:06Speaker 2: the best aid, is that thirty two to thirty three framework.
- 28:09Speaker 4: Okay, So.
- 28:12Speaker 2: I don't think we've lost too much understanding in our calendar.
- 28:16Speaker 2: What I mean by that is here, let's fast forward
- 28:18Speaker 2: to twenty thirty two, Like, so here, what you've got
- 28:21Speaker 2: eight years from now? Well, it's pretty solid then that
- 28:27Speaker 2: there's two thousand years going from the time of Jesus
- 28:31Speaker 2: to this period of from thirty two a d. To
- 28:34Speaker 2: twenty thirty two, And that is that's an age. That's
- 28:38Speaker 2: an age, right, I mean according to the scene calendar,
- 28:42Speaker 2: not calendar, but according to the scene chronology of two
- 28:44Speaker 2: thousand years being an age.
- 28:46Speaker 3: So is is it possible?
- 28:49Speaker 2: And we also know that again seventy eight the temple
- 28:51Speaker 2: was destroyed, So are are things?
- 28:54Speaker 3: Are things based?
- 28:57Speaker 4: Could it?
- 28:57Speaker 3: Could it be off?
- 28:58Speaker 2: Could could have the New Age began at the time
- 29:02Speaker 2: of Jesus's resurrection and then the temple gets destroyed forty
- 29:06Speaker 2: years later in the new still new Age of grace?
- 29:10Speaker 4: Could there? Could there be?
- 29:11Speaker 3: Is it off? Could it be by forty years off?
- 29:13Speaker 2: Because here's what I'm saying is that if we let's
- 29:15Speaker 2: say we come to twenty seventy five and uh, you know,
- 29:19Speaker 2: we'll still be here, Lord Willing. Maybe Okay, that's that's
- 29:22Speaker 2: that's forty years from now. Well, it's longer than that,
- 29:24Speaker 2: it's fifty years now. Maybe I won't be here. Okay,
- 29:26Speaker 2: but let's say we're sitting here and we're old and
- 29:28Speaker 2: decrepit by that time at twenty seventy five do But
- 29:34Speaker 2: now we're looking, hey, it's been two thousand and forty
- 29:37Speaker 2: years from the time of Jesus' resurrection. That seems a
- 29:40Speaker 2: little bit weird, doesn't it that you would have not
- 29:44Speaker 2: two thousand, you'd have two thousand and forty.
- 29:46Speaker 3: You understand I'm.
- 29:46Speaker 4: Saying, I understand what you're saying. Yeah.
- 29:48Speaker 5: So, so the way that I understand it, they would
- 29:50Speaker 5: have a specific date as the beginning of the next age,
- 29:53Speaker 5: even if it doesn't specifically line up with anything prophetic
- 29:57Speaker 5: on that date. So there, so their final you believe
- 30:00Speaker 5: in the Age of Tora would have started twenty five AD,
- 30:02Speaker 5: and I don't know that there was anything specific that
- 30:05Speaker 5: occurred there. Now now we would say, well, the Church
- 30:08Speaker 5: Age began in thirty two thirty three a d with
- 30:11Speaker 5: with the dwelling of the Holy Spirit, and yeah it did.
- 30:13Speaker 5: That's that that's when like the church really started.
- 30:16Speaker 2: We're coming up to two thousand anniversary.
- 30:18Speaker 5: But the specific age, in the way that they lined
- 30:21Speaker 5: out their chronology would have been twenty five to seventy five.
- 30:26Speaker 5: So the way that I kind of explain it in
- 30:28Speaker 5: the book is it seems like in these final fifty
- 30:31Speaker 5: year periods, and you can even see this in every age.
- 30:33Speaker 5: You see this in the first stage too, with the
- 30:35Speaker 5: Tower of Babel and Call of Abraham and all that.
- 30:37Speaker 5: But it seems like there's this period of time where
- 30:40Speaker 5: prophecies start to happen to get ready for the next age,
- 30:44Speaker 5: so that when that you know, seventy five seventy six
- 30:48Speaker 5: ady date hits, everything is set in place for the
- 30:52Speaker 5: next age to begin, even if some of that started early.
- 30:55Speaker 5: So it would be like if I was gonna throw
- 30:57Speaker 5: a birthday party next Friday, you know, well, I I
- 31:00Speaker 5: have some things to prepare before then, So I gotta
- 31:02Speaker 5: get a cake, maybe I do that tomorrow. I gotta
- 31:04Speaker 5: get the presence, I gotta higher attractions, you know, And
- 31:07Speaker 5: I would spend the rest of this week like doing
- 31:09Speaker 5: all that. So I'm doing things to get ready for
- 31:11Speaker 5: the party. But that's not specifically the party, even though
- 31:14Speaker 5: they're all going to play important roles when the party happens.
- 31:17Speaker 5: So that at Friday, at three o'clock, let's say the
- 31:19Speaker 5: party happens, I think it's kind of the same way.
- 31:22Speaker 5: So the way that I look at it, these these
- 31:24Speaker 5: final Jubilee periods, it's almost as if these two ages
- 31:27Speaker 5: are kind of like melding together, where you get the
- 31:29Speaker 5: start of one while the other one's winding down, and
- 31:32Speaker 5: so you get this kind of blending thing. So I
- 31:36Speaker 5: don't think that we would say necessarily that, well, since
- 31:41Speaker 5: thirty two AD that was the end dwelling of the
- 31:43Speaker 5: Holy Spirit, so that's the start of that age. I
- 31:45Speaker 5: don't think these things would have saw it like that.
- 31:47Speaker 5: That would have been one prophetic thing that happened in
- 31:50Speaker 5: that age at the tail end, at the tail end.
- 31:52Speaker 4: To prepare for the next stage.
- 31:55Speaker 5: Yeah, and then but the official start would have been
- 31:58Speaker 5: seventy five seventy six AD. But that's all so why
- 32:00Speaker 5: it's really difficult to put exact set dates on this.
- 32:03Speaker 5: It's more of like time periods that we look at.
- 32:06Speaker 5: Does that make sense.
- 32:07Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 32:07Speaker 6: The thing that I would add to that is I
- 32:09Speaker 6: think we can rock solid set dates for their calendar system,
- 32:14Speaker 6: not necessarily the prophecies on it. So, for instance, on
- 32:18Speaker 6: their system, which ends at seventy five, they talked about
- 32:23Speaker 6: the first coming of the Messiah when he would atone
- 32:26Speaker 6: for our sin nature, and the event that that would
- 32:30Speaker 6: occur is one Shmida after the end of the ninth
- 32:33Speaker 6: jubilee of that Wenna. And so if you look at
- 32:36Speaker 6: the end of the age being seventy five minus a
- 32:39Speaker 6: whole jubilee period which is twenty five, and then you
- 32:42Speaker 6: go forward to Shmieda, which is a seven year period,
- 32:44Speaker 6: it brings us to thirty two. So they're saying in
- 32:48Speaker 6: it's scroll eleven q. Thirteen, they're saying that the Messiah
- 32:51Speaker 6: would take care of our sin nature. Thirty two thirty
- 32:54Speaker 6: three AD is what we would put on our calendar,
- 32:57Speaker 6: so that you know, let's sink in really really well,
- 33:00Speaker 6: give or take a year. And so that means the
- 33:03Speaker 6: end of their calendar year for the year six thousand
- 33:07Speaker 6: would be seventy five or seventy six, twenty seventy five,
- 33:10Speaker 6: two seventy six. So I think that's pretty rock solid
- 33:14Speaker 6: as far as the other prophecies, like he's saying, I mean,
- 33:16Speaker 6: you've got Jesus being born thirty years later, dying, the
- 33:20Speaker 6: church age starting several years later, the destruction of the
- 33:24Speaker 6: Jerusalem Temple two years later, the taking down to the
- 33:28Speaker 6: Assine Temple, and then the end of the age a
- 33:30Speaker 6: couple of years later, and then several years later you
- 33:33Speaker 6: got the Barcokmo Rebellion, and when that finally ended, that
- 33:37Speaker 6: pretty much ended everything, and then the Great Dispersion. So
- 33:41Speaker 6: you've got one hundred and fifty year period there where
- 33:44Speaker 6: all sorts of things happen as a group kind of
- 33:48Speaker 6: and so we're seeing that today. Actually, if you take
- 33:50Speaker 6: one hundred and fifty years before the year six thousand,
- 33:54Speaker 6: you had the Balfour Declaration, you had the establishment of
- 33:57Speaker 6: Israel in nineteen forty eight, the taking back the Temple
- 34:00Speaker 6: Mountain sixty seven on, all the other things that have happened,
- 34:04Speaker 6: the new priesthood to practice, sacrifices that have started out,
- 34:08Speaker 6: so all those things are going in process.
- 34:10Speaker 2: So the year six thousand, what Gregorian year?
- 34:14Speaker 4: Would that mean two.
- 34:15Speaker 7: Thousand and seventy five?
- 34:17Speaker 2: Oh okay, but yeah, because that would be.
- 34:19Speaker 7: The year six thousands.
- 34:20Speaker 4: Okay.
- 34:20Speaker 2: So let me ask you this question, and again thinking
- 34:23Speaker 2: out loud here is so, ultimately, if we're comparing what
- 34:28Speaker 2: we've experienced in reality this in the sense of the
- 34:32Speaker 2: Christian era, from a Christian perspective, we would recognize theologically
- 34:38Speaker 2: that the Age of Grace began at Pentecost, right, and so,
- 34:44Speaker 2: and we're coming up on that two thousand years. You know,
- 34:46Speaker 2: here again we're ten years nine years short, or so
- 34:50Speaker 2: eight to nine years short. So does that make any
- 34:53Speaker 2: any difference in the sense of understanding that the Age
- 34:57Speaker 2: of Grace truly now not not an Unsene way, but
- 35:01Speaker 2: in a practical way, truly began at the time after
- 35:05Speaker 2: Jesus's death and resurrection.
- 35:07Speaker 6: I would think it could. And I think it depends
- 35:10Speaker 6: on how you use the term. Like, for instance, I
- 35:13Speaker 6: know in a lot of the Church Fathers, they talk
- 35:15Speaker 6: about how the Antichrist persecutes us, the believers the church,
- 35:19Speaker 6: and everybody says, oh, well, that's got to be you know,
- 35:21Speaker 6: post trip rapture type stuff. And when you look at
- 35:24Speaker 6: the way they use the church, they're talking about believers.
- 35:27Speaker 6: They actually define it from Abraham forward. So when they
- 35:31Speaker 6: say church, and that's not how we use church, right,
- 35:34Speaker 6: I'm not saying you're right or wrong, but.
- 35:36Speaker 7: They mean believers, okay.
- 35:38Speaker 2: And so when we historically even all the way back right, Okay, So.
- 35:41Speaker 6: When we say the Age of Grace, you and I
- 35:43Speaker 6: are talking about the Church age, and I think they're
- 35:46Speaker 6: talking about the age of Grace.
- 35:48Speaker 7: On a calendar, which may be different.
- 35:51Speaker 6: So the church age and their age of Grace might
- 35:54Speaker 6: be different than what we refer to as the church Age.
- 35:57Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, anything you want to add to that,
- 35:59Speaker 2: Oh no.
- 36:00Speaker 4: That's exactly right.
- 36:01Speaker 5: So you know, you ask any Christian nowadays, like how
- 36:04Speaker 5: long is the church Age, and they'd say, well, it's
- 36:06Speaker 5: been about two thousand years, but we don't know how
- 36:08Speaker 5: long it's gonna last. It could be another six thousand years.
- 36:10Speaker 5: But if you were to ask in a scene the
- 36:11Speaker 5: same question, when they hear age, they're thinking a two
- 36:14Speaker 5: thousand year period specifically, so they would just say two
- 36:17Speaker 5: thousand years. So yeah, it just depends on how we
- 36:18Speaker 5: use the terms.
- 36:19Speaker 2: Yeah, because obviously, you know, even in terms of you know,
- 36:22Speaker 2: the Torah as it relates to the you know, the
- 36:25Speaker 2: six hundred and thirty commands, I mean that came with Moses, yeah,
- 36:28Speaker 2: you know, and in fourteen hundred BC, fourteen forty five,
- 36:32Speaker 2: you know, fourteen forty four BC.
- 36:33Speaker 4: So that's that's.
- 36:35Speaker 2: Certainly you know, many centuries after Abraham, right, and so
- 36:41Speaker 2: to have it be super tight like that, exactly, it's
- 36:45Speaker 2: hard to believe that the Tora began with Abraham.
- 36:48Speaker 5: Now it's still the age of Torah even before the
- 36:50Speaker 5: Torah came to be, because the Age of Tora would
- 36:53Speaker 5: have started with the call of Abraham, but it was
- 36:55Speaker 5: again setting up everything that needed to be for that
- 36:57Speaker 5: age to operate and work. So there's a lot of
- 36:59Speaker 5: different problem the season, different ways on how things can be,
- 37:03Speaker 5: when things can happen within certain ages. But it's like,
- 37:06Speaker 5: what is that period mostly known for.
- 37:08Speaker 4: That's the Age of Torah.
- 37:09Speaker 6: As a matter of fact, according to some of the
- 37:11Speaker 6: manuscripts it talks about the Age of Torah we're teaching
- 37:15Speaker 6: is supposed to start with the guy that starts the.
- 37:19Speaker 7: Group of people.
- 37:20Speaker 6: So Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob kind of are the ones
- 37:24Speaker 6: that started Israel, and the nation of Israel would bring Messiah.
- 37:27Speaker 7: So that's the start of the Age of Torah.
- 37:29Speaker 6: And when you look at their chronology, the call of
- 37:32Speaker 6: Abraham when he was fifty two, not when he went
- 37:34Speaker 6: down to Canaan, but when he was called actually was
- 37:37Speaker 6: the year two thousand on their calendar, so that hit
- 37:40Speaker 6: exactly at the end of an age.
- 37:42Speaker 2: So I mean, so here we're talking about, you know,
- 37:45Speaker 2: we're coming up on the year.
- 37:48Speaker 3: You know, twenty twenty five.
- 37:49Speaker 2: You know, we got six months left to twenty four
- 37:52Speaker 2: or so, seven months left. Then what's significant then, in
- 37:58Speaker 2: the sense of trying to explain the scene calendar, what's happening.
- 38:03Speaker 3: Let's let's go to.
- 38:04Speaker 2: March March of twenty twenty five, spring equinox. Let's talk
- 38:07Speaker 2: about what is significant about that it begins.
- 38:11Speaker 6: This next March begins the fiftieth year of this jubilee period,
- 38:15Speaker 6: and then the following year is the last generation or
- 38:18Speaker 6: the last jubilee before that. So we should start seeing
- 38:21Speaker 6: a lot of prophecy fulfilled. And we have seen things
- 38:24Speaker 6: that we've never seen before, like Iran actually attacking Israel.
- 38:28Speaker 6: That's prophesied in several scrolls and in scriptures, but we've
- 38:32Speaker 6: never seen that before.
- 38:33Speaker 7: Now, this was short lived, but.
- 38:35Speaker 6: It's not the only time this is going to happen,
- 38:37Speaker 6: because there's some great details in that. We've seen a
- 38:40Speaker 6: lot of things happen with Israel.
- 38:42Speaker 7: And we will begin to see.
- 38:43Speaker 6: A lot of wars, a lot of expansion, a lot
- 38:46Speaker 6: of different things. Zeph and Iah Obadiah talks about the
- 38:50Speaker 6: time when they colonize the Negev, they take back Gaza,
- 38:55Speaker 6: They control Lebanon up to Zerophath, which is the six
- 39:00Speaker 6: miles north of the Tawny River, which is where they're
- 39:02Speaker 6: saying they're going to take and control that now as
- 39:06Speaker 6: part of the and whether that actually happens or whether
- 39:10Speaker 6: it happens in some political figure later on gives the
- 39:13Speaker 6: land back, which has happened multiple times. Either way, we
- 39:16Speaker 6: see it in prophecy. So there's a lot of interesting
- 39:18Speaker 6: things happening.
- 39:21Speaker 2: Any think Josh, I think he covered it. So you know,
- 39:24Speaker 2: I'm just gonna I know what all of you are
- 39:26Speaker 2: thinking out there, and I'm going to be your advocate
- 39:28Speaker 2: right now. Okay, Now, I don't want to believe that
- 39:34Speaker 2: we have until twenty seventy five, Okay, that.
- 39:40Speaker 5: Well, that's just till the beginning of the millennium. Right,
- 39:43Speaker 5: So we got a tribulation, we have all sorts of
- 39:46Speaker 5: prophecies that need to be fulfilled in that time, and
- 39:49Speaker 5: they could all come early because there's again it's perfectly
- 39:52Speaker 5: reasonable to have the end of the tribulation and still
- 39:54Speaker 5: have some decades before the next age starts, and because
- 39:59Speaker 5: there might there might be things that need to be done. Again,
- 40:01Speaker 5: how long does how long does it take for Jesus
- 40:03Speaker 5: to judge everybody at that time.
- 40:05Speaker 4: How long does it.
- 40:06Speaker 5: Take to build the temple and for people to you know,
- 40:09Speaker 5: beat their swords into plowshares and to get the word
- 40:12Speaker 5: around the whole world this is the way that things
- 40:14Speaker 5: are now? How long does it take to build that
- 40:16Speaker 5: temple and that and that city?
- 40:18Speaker 2: They're talking like the millennial tip, Yeah, the millennial like.
- 40:20Speaker 5: That we read about in Ezekiel, Like, how long does
- 40:22Speaker 5: all of that take? I don't And again, I don't
- 40:24Speaker 5: think it's going to be the day that Jesus plants
- 40:26Speaker 5: his feet on the ground all of a sudden, this
- 40:28Speaker 5: stuff is miraculously just there. It could be, and I
- 40:32Speaker 5: don't know for sure, again because there's a lot of
- 40:34Speaker 5: different ways this could play out, But it could be
- 40:36Speaker 5: that that takes time. And again, another option is you
- 40:39Speaker 5: could have an early rapture in a later tribulation. And
- 40:42Speaker 5: you could have because the rapture isn't what starts the tribulation.
- 40:45Speaker 5: It's you know, the covenant designing is the confirmation of
- 40:49Speaker 5: the covenant with many is what starts the tribulation. So
- 40:52Speaker 5: there's a theory out there that it's possible you could
- 40:54Speaker 5: have the rapture happen, and you could have years in
- 40:56Speaker 5: between that and the tribulation. So that's a possibility as well.
- 41:01Speaker 5: I'm like you, I don't want to believe that we
- 41:02Speaker 5: have to wait till I'll be ninety years old. Yeah,
- 41:05Speaker 5: if I make it that long. But so there are
- 41:09Speaker 5: different ways, and it might be that, but are there
- 41:12Speaker 5: are ways to look at it where there's nothing preventing
- 41:14Speaker 5: a rapture from the rapture from happening immediately today, before
- 41:17Speaker 5: we even finish this interview. There's nothing preventing that, and
- 41:20Speaker 5: then you can still have all of those prophecies happen
- 41:22Speaker 5: within that period and still have the calendar makes sense,
- 41:25Speaker 5: Or maybe Jesus was just literally, I'm gonna cut the
- 41:27Speaker 5: day short and we're not gonna wait till twenty seventy five.
- 41:30Speaker 5: So there's God can do whatever he wants. But I
- 41:33Speaker 5: think the consistent view would be to look at twenty
- 41:36Speaker 5: seventy five twenty seventy six to be the time where
- 41:39Speaker 5: everything is put in place, everything is finished, where we
- 41:42Speaker 5: can start.
- 41:42Speaker 4: The first day of the Millennial rain.
- 41:45Speaker 5: Everything's done, temple's built, city's built, everybody knows the new rules,
- 41:50Speaker 5: they know the festivals, all the other nations know that
- 41:52Speaker 5: they got to come up for tabernacles and just everything's done.
- 41:57Speaker 5: And I would think, just practically, that's probably gonna take
- 41:59Speaker 5: some time to set up. I don't think it's going
- 42:01Speaker 5: to be able to be done the last day of
- 42:03Speaker 5: the tribulation. But you know, again, there's different ways to
- 42:06Speaker 5: look at it.
- 42:07Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's a good point.
- 42:08Speaker 6: The whole idea of the scripture says that those days will.
- 42:11Speaker 7: Be cut short. Now that might be five days, or
- 42:14Speaker 7: it might be days.
- 42:15Speaker 2: Like a couple of decades, could be five decades. Could
- 42:18Speaker 2: it be a whole jubilee cut short?
- 42:21Speaker 6: I would assume I would. I wouldn't think it'd be
- 42:23Speaker 6: a whole jubilee. Of course, if that's the case, the
- 42:26Speaker 6: rapture should have happened a couple of years ago.
- 42:28Speaker 7: So yeah, so no, I guess not.
- 42:31Speaker 2: Yeah, because you know, you start thinking about again, I
- 42:33Speaker 2: love you know, we're not date sitting here, but it's
- 42:35Speaker 2: fun to speculate it. I mean, no one's sitting a day,
- 42:38Speaker 2: but it's fun to think out loud about the possibilities.
- 42:41Speaker 2: And you know, we're all to be no matter what
- 42:45Speaker 2: we decide today or not. Figure out or whatever. We're
- 42:48Speaker 2: still going to get up tomorrow and do the Lord's work.
- 42:51Speaker 3: No one's quitting their jobs. I find it go ahead.
- 42:54Speaker 6: I think one point that we need to remember too
- 42:56Speaker 6: is we're talking about calendar systems which may or may
- 42:59Speaker 6: not be hundred percent accurate. If we looked at the
- 43:02Speaker 6: modern Jewish calendar and tried to pinpoint the year six thousand,
- 43:07Speaker 6: it's over two hundred and twenty years away.
- 43:09Speaker 7: Yeah, I'd much rather have it.
- 43:10Speaker 6: Be fifty years instead of two twenty. Yeah, you know,
- 43:14Speaker 6: so if we're looking at the Gregorian calendar, I think
- 43:16Speaker 6: we missed it by twenty four years. So it's just
- 43:19Speaker 6: like it's a calendar system.
- 43:21Speaker 2: Well, and that's kind of what I look at too,
- 43:23Speaker 2: is you know, again we are you know, when when
- 43:26Speaker 2: Pope Gregory, you know again Gregorian, when he's looking at
- 43:30Speaker 2: you know, the Julian calendar, the Roman calendar, and then
- 43:34Speaker 2: he starts like, you know, we need to make this
- 43:36Speaker 2: a little bit better, at least christianize it, right. Was
- 43:39Speaker 2: certainly that's what he did as a Catholic. Well, you know,
- 43:42Speaker 2: he looked back and he could see there were some discrepancies.
- 43:45Speaker 2: I think he'd dropped like thirteen days or sixteen days
- 43:48Speaker 2: off of He's like, well, this doesn't work, so let's
- 43:49Speaker 2: just we're going to evaporate those and we're going to
- 43:51Speaker 2: squeeze it all together. Which again that's the nature of
- 43:54Speaker 2: looking at different calendar systems. You know, Egyptians used to
- 43:57Speaker 2: have a ten day week, I mean, you have stuff
- 43:59Speaker 2: like that. So I think what what I look at
- 44:02Speaker 2: is that's what I was leading up to. Well, if
- 44:06Speaker 2: the thirty two to thirty three date of Jesus's death
- 44:10Speaker 2: or resurrection is relatively accurate, which I think most scholars
- 44:15Speaker 2: would recognize that's true, then we're coming up on an
- 44:19Speaker 2: age ending. So, even if it's not necessarily connected to
- 44:24Speaker 2: the specifics of the Seeing calendar, their idea of what
- 44:27Speaker 2: an age would be as two thousand years, And in
- 44:31Speaker 2: my mind, I like the idea much better. I'm sorry, guysense,
- 44:34Speaker 2: no offense. I like the idea of thinking, which again
- 44:39Speaker 2: it's not a prophecy by any means of thinking, that
- 44:42Speaker 2: the Church age, the Church had an opportunity to evangelize
- 44:45Speaker 2: the world for a full age and that would end
- 44:48Speaker 2: roughly around thirty two or thirty three AD.
- 44:50Speaker 5: Yeah, Jesus might come back in that year to finish
- 44:53Speaker 5: what he started when and then there's still time for
- 44:56Speaker 5: the tribulation before that, I mean, and if that's the case, man,
- 44:58Speaker 5: the rapture should be come up pretty soon.
- 45:01Speaker 2: Because what I find fascinating is going back to some
- 45:04Speaker 2: of the other stuff that you and I have talked before,
- 45:06Speaker 2: Josh about even a P office and yeah, thinking in
- 45:09Speaker 2: terms not so much of the of the twenty twenty
- 45:13Speaker 2: nine date, but of the twenty thirty six date, which
- 45:17Speaker 2: I find interesting too that you know, again, I don't
- 45:20Speaker 2: think we could prove that a P office arrives at
- 45:23Speaker 2: three point five years into the tribulation to that level
- 45:25Speaker 2: of specificity.
- 45:26Speaker 3: But if we were to go with that as.
- 45:28Speaker 2: A theory, I know, talking to you and Derek and
- 45:32Speaker 2: even Tom was you know, then you subtract three and
- 45:35Speaker 2: a half years roughly that it brings.
- 45:37Speaker 3: You to the fall of twenty twenty five. So you think,
- 45:40Speaker 3: oh wow.
- 45:41Speaker 2: But if we were to look at it differently, in
- 45:45Speaker 2: the sense of a thirty three date or thirty two,
- 45:49Speaker 2: with that twenty thirty six, you know, in the middle
- 45:51Speaker 2: of twenty thirty six, and you take three and a
- 45:53Speaker 2: half off of that, it brings you back. It brings
- 45:55Speaker 2: you back if a POFUS was.
- 45:57Speaker 4: To hit the earth.
- 46:00Speaker 2: Athetically in twenty thirty six, because even Neil Neil Degrest Tyson.
- 46:03Speaker 2: I have a clip from him not too long ago
- 46:06Speaker 2: where he describes that the twenty twenty nine arrival of
- 46:11Speaker 2: a pofue. He said, he's specially there's this key hole.
- 46:16Speaker 2: There is the language that we use, and if it
- 46:18Speaker 2: comes through and it's supposed to come under twenty thousand,
- 46:21Speaker 2: around twenty thousand miles near the surface of the Earth
- 46:25Speaker 2: in twenty twenty nine, well the moon's at you know,
- 46:27Speaker 2: to forty two hundred forty thousand. So the way he
- 46:29Speaker 2: was describing it was, if it comes through this key hole,
- 46:32Speaker 2: it's going to affect the trajectory, the orbital trajectory of
- 46:36Speaker 2: the pofas, so that when it comes back. This is
- 46:38Speaker 2: his words, Yeah, secular guy, he's not a Christian. He said,
- 46:42Speaker 2: if it comes through this queue, the sixth center mile
- 46:44Speaker 2: key hole in twenty twenty nine and just scrapes us,
- 46:49Speaker 2: it will hit us in twenty thirty six.
- 46:51Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 46:52Speaker 2: I found that really amazing that he was willing to
- 46:54Speaker 2: say that publicly, because he's got a lot of steak
- 46:57Speaker 2: in his mindset. But again that idea would then fit
- 47:00Speaker 2: with a twenty thirty three.
- 47:02Speaker 4: The dates still work date.
- 47:03Speaker 2: That dates work, which gives me some hope that I
- 47:06Speaker 2: won't be I was born in seventy four, nineteen seventy four,
- 47:10Speaker 2: so you're still young. Well, at the end of it,
- 47:12Speaker 2: I'll be uh, I'll be one hundred.
- 47:14Speaker 4: And two, gentlemen, I was born in eighty.
- 47:16Speaker 3: Four, so okay, so youll be a little younger than me,
- 47:18Speaker 3: A little younger than me.
- 47:19Speaker 4: You're both young.
- 47:20Speaker 7: I was born in sixty when they're born.
- 47:24Speaker 6: It's been so long, sixty five, sixty.
- 47:26Speaker 2: Five, Yeah, nineteen sixty five, so we got twenty years apart,
- 47:29Speaker 2: ten years apart.
- 47:30Speaker 3: Yeah, so you'll be one hundred and ten rough.
- 47:33Speaker 6: If I do the asscene diet and use the herbal
- 47:35Speaker 6: medicine just right, I might still be well.
- 47:39Speaker 7: I think it's interesting. No matter how you look at it, all.
- 47:41Speaker 6: Those dates and speculations, you notice it's all in the
- 47:44Speaker 6: last jubilee, Yeah, which is in the last generation according
- 47:47Speaker 6: to scrolls.
- 47:48Speaker 5: Yeah, there's even another one at twenty sixty eight date,
- 47:51Speaker 5: and that's seven years from twenty seventy.
- 47:53Speaker 3: Five, is Yeah, the twenty sixty eight up Office states.
- 47:56Speaker 2: So I mean needless to say, I think all of us,
- 47:59Speaker 2: regardless of whether we look at the ascene calendar, where
- 48:02Speaker 2: we look at anything else. The average person. I mean,
- 48:06Speaker 2: come on, guys, the average person. That is just all
- 48:09Speaker 2: of us here we are. I mean thinking about the world.
- 48:15Speaker 2: I think about. And when I mean the average person,
- 48:18Speaker 2: I'm thinking about, you know, not in an academic sense.
- 48:22Speaker 3: I don't really mean it now.
- 48:23Speaker 2: I just mean like my brothers or my sisters, the
- 48:25Speaker 2: average American out there that's sitting there just living life
- 48:28Speaker 2: and not necessarily focused on prophecy. They're looking around and
- 48:32Speaker 2: they're going, man, the world's changed. Something has changed. And
- 48:35Speaker 2: so we see when we see this and we see
- 48:39Speaker 2: Israel becoming a nation in nineteen forty eight, you know,
- 48:41Speaker 2: them controlling the Old City in nineteen sixty seven in Jerusalem,
- 48:47Speaker 2: we are not this isn't I don't see. Oh, well,
- 48:51Speaker 2: you know Jesus will come back in a thousand years. No,
- 48:54Speaker 2: the fact that God brought is roll back in nineteen
- 48:56Speaker 2: forty eight was the big sign that we are approach
- 49:00Speaker 2: the end of the age. And now, of course we've
- 49:02Speaker 2: seen a prophecy begin to unfold. So as we look,
- 49:05Speaker 2: we don't even need the scene calendar to tell us that, right, right,
- 49:08Speaker 2: we can just look around and say, yes, here we are.
- 49:10Speaker 2: But then to have some of these other calendars come
- 49:12Speaker 2: and they seem.
- 49:13Speaker 3: Very consistent, it's pretty amazing.
- 49:14Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 49:15Speaker 5: Yeah, it's really interesting too because according to these scenes,
- 49:17Speaker 5: at the end of every age there there's always an apostasy.
- 49:21Speaker 5: So in the first age there's the Tower of Babel incident,
- 49:23Speaker 5: second age we got everything with Jesus and the Pharisees,
- 49:25Speaker 5: and there was clearly.
- 49:27Speaker 4: Apostasy going on there.
- 49:28Speaker 5: And then you look at the if this is the
- 49:30Speaker 5: end of our age, you look at the world today,
- 49:32Speaker 5: this is so different than any other time in history,
- 49:36Speaker 5: just with the technology that we have, I mean, and
- 49:38Speaker 5: it's almost hard to realize it because we've been born
- 49:41Speaker 5: into it, so it just seems normal to us. But
- 49:43Speaker 5: human beings as far as we know, have never lived
- 49:46Speaker 5: like this, Like this is so weird and different, and
- 49:49Speaker 5: it's brought up so much like debauchery, and really you'd
- 49:55Speaker 5: call it apostasy, like it's brought up so much opportunities
- 49:59Speaker 5: for or more evil, more than we've ever seen in
- 50:03Speaker 5: the history of the world. And to me, it's like
- 50:05Speaker 5: that's too weird to just not be anything, Like, why
- 50:09Speaker 5: is it now, all of a sudden that we have
- 50:11Speaker 5: this big technological revolution.
- 50:12Speaker 4: I mean, it wasn't that long ago.
- 50:13Speaker 5: We were still we were still using horses and carriages
- 50:17Speaker 5: and stuff.
- 50:18Speaker 4: And why is it now? I mean, why couldn't the
- 50:20Speaker 4: Greeks have done that? They could have. They they were smart,
- 50:22Speaker 4: you know, they had math.
- 50:24Speaker 5: And everything, and any other nation could have done that
- 50:27Speaker 5: at any other time. But it was like there was
- 50:29Speaker 5: something restraining it charged word. But and it seems like
- 50:33Speaker 5: that whatever that restraining is is kind of lifting, you know,
- 50:36Speaker 5: And and all of a sudden we live in this crazy,
- 50:39Speaker 5: weird world and it's just we're we're in a place,
- 50:42Speaker 5: especially now, where you cannot believe anything. We have more
- 50:46Speaker 5: evidence for things than we've ever had before. We got
- 50:48Speaker 5: video evidence, and you know, nobody ever had that before.
- 50:51Speaker 5: But you can't believe anything you see on TV. You
- 50:54Speaker 5: can't believe any video you see. If you see a
- 50:56Speaker 5: video of Donald Trump saying something, you don't know if
- 50:59Speaker 5: it's a deep fake or if that was actually real.
- 51:01Speaker 5: And that that's like the world we're in now. I
- 51:03Speaker 5: mean again, I'm only like forty years old. But it's
- 51:06Speaker 5: so different from the eighties. I mean, we didn't have
- 51:08Speaker 5: any of this stuff. Yeah, and uh, but but now,
- 51:12Speaker 5: I mean and and it's exponentially.
- 51:14Speaker 4: It's it's getting.
- 51:15Speaker 5: Faster and faster and faster, to the point where every
- 51:17Speaker 5: year doesn't feel anything like the last. So for that
- 51:20Speaker 5: to be just nothing and just to be business as usual,
- 51:23Speaker 5: it's not significant at all.
- 51:25Speaker 4: I'm not buying it.
- 51:26Speaker 5: I think I think I think we're at the end
- 51:28Speaker 5: of an age here, and I think this kind of
- 51:30Speaker 5: thing is what we'd expect.
- 51:31Speaker 2: I think we have the These are those correspondences that
- 51:35Speaker 2: come to play where we can look around again. The
- 51:39Speaker 2: average person knows that that the world has changed again,
- 51:44Speaker 2: even unbelievers.
- 51:45Speaker 3: What the world?
- 51:46Speaker 2: What has happened, especially to our country and other things,
- 51:48Speaker 2: all the wokeness, all the all the gender confusion.
- 51:51Speaker 3: I mean, this is this is crazy stuff.
- 51:54Speaker 2: And then to have these other convergences of the calendars
- 51:57Speaker 2: come into the uh. You know, if you if you
- 51:59Speaker 2: want more information, I'll certainly go to a prophecy watches
- 52:01Speaker 2: dot com.
- 52:02Speaker 3: Check out our bookstore. Both both of these guys are.
- 52:05Speaker 2: On there, and we carry all of your material.
- 52:08Speaker 4: Yeah, I should mention too.
- 52:09Speaker 5: My my new book, the Super Expanded Version, seven hundred
- 52:12Speaker 5: and twelve pages. It's going to be available at prophecywatchers
- 52:14Speaker 5: dot com. And again, I'm only a couple of days
- 52:17Speaker 5: away from a few days away from the launch. It
- 52:19Speaker 5: could be by the time this airs it might already
- 52:21Speaker 5: be out. So people should check out prophecywatchers dot com
- 52:24Speaker 5: and keep checking every day because it's gonna be on there.
- 52:25Speaker 2: So yeah, and we'll we'll definitely, we'll definitely come back
- 52:28Speaker 2: and do a one on one interview for sure on
- 52:30Speaker 2: that and once I get my my greedy little hands
- 52:33Speaker 2: on it and to do it, and so you know,
- 52:36Speaker 2: both of you guys kind of share in addition to
- 52:38Speaker 2: you know, obviously you've joined us here, which we're excited about.
- 52:42Speaker 2: But where can people find out more information about what
- 52:44Speaker 2: you're doing?
- 52:45Speaker 4: Oh?
- 52:45Speaker 5: Sure, Well, my other website is Daily Renegade dot com
- 52:49Speaker 5: and that's a place where I put all of my videos.
- 52:52Speaker 5: I talk a lot about Dead Sea scroll stuff, and
- 52:54Speaker 5: then also like on physics or and prophecy, anything related
- 52:56Speaker 5: to Prophecy I talk about. That's on Daily Renegade dot
- 52:59Speaker 5: com and I'm also on YouTube, but I like using
- 53:03Speaker 5: the website because on the website I can.
- 53:05Speaker 4: Say whatever I want.
- 53:06Speaker 5: I don't have to deal with censorship issues, and so
- 53:10Speaker 5: there's that. I'm also on Facebook and pretty much anywhere
- 53:13Speaker 5: that people want to try to find me, they can
- 53:15Speaker 5: find me there. But yeah, the main other website is
- 53:17Speaker 5: Daily Runnegay dot com.
- 53:18Speaker 3: Ken about how do people find you?
- 53:20Speaker 7: I'm at Bible facts dot org.
- 53:22Speaker 6: We do a live Monday teaching on YouTube which is
- 53:25Speaker 6: doing very well, and like you, I try to give
- 53:28Speaker 6: out as much information I can, saying it the right
- 53:32Speaker 6: way so I won't get in any trouble. But we
- 53:34Speaker 6: do have a private network at Bible facts dot org,
- 53:37Speaker 6: so we can come there and speak freely and discuss things.
- 53:41Speaker 6: So it's getting really interesting.
- 53:42Speaker 3: Yeah, it really is.
- 53:43Speaker 2: Any I know, you just got a new book, and
- 53:45Speaker 2: Ken has a new book, Ancient Prophecies from the Dead
- 53:47Speaker 2: Sea Scrolls. You will see more about that and other
- 53:51Speaker 2: programs that we've already recorded. Any other projects you guys
- 53:54Speaker 2: are working on, I mean, and you guys are just
- 53:56Speaker 2: I always hate to say, it's like, man, I just
- 53:57Speaker 2: got done with this, but any things.
- 54:00Speaker 7: In the works, Ken, Yeah, I'm doing a couple of things.
- 54:03Speaker 6: This is probably the last big effort of Dead Sea Scrolls,
- 54:08Speaker 6: the prophetic part. Anyway, there's other things to look at.
- 54:10Speaker 6: But now that I've got the Church Fathers and the
- 54:13Speaker 6: Dead Sea Scrolls halfway straight in my mind, I want
- 54:16Speaker 6: to put together a master prophecy book, Bible Prophecy, Dead
- 54:21Speaker 6: Sea Squirrel Prophecy, and others, with some charts, photos and
- 54:24Speaker 6: stuff like that, and I think that would really open up.
- 54:27Speaker 3: How they coincide with each other.
- 54:29Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, yeah, And so I'm going through all of
- 54:33Speaker 5: my previous books and I'm updating and expanding all of
- 54:36Speaker 5: them because I write on a lot of different topics,
- 54:39Speaker 5: all pretty much relating to prophecy.
- 54:41Speaker 4: But I find it so fascinating.
- 54:42Speaker 5: I keep up with this stuff and keep notes, and
- 54:44Speaker 5: I've realized that, like even even the quantum physics books
- 54:47Speaker 5: that I have out there, I have so much more
- 54:49Speaker 5: information on that now. So I'm going to be that's
- 54:52Speaker 5: probably gonna be my next project after this Forgotten Prophecies
- 54:56Speaker 5: of the Dead Sea Squirrells book. I'm going to take
- 54:58Speaker 5: everything that I've written about quantum physics, scerned, you know, everything,
- 55:02Speaker 5: compile it all together, add a bunch of new information
- 55:05Speaker 5: that i've come up with in the years since up
- 55:09Speaker 5: to up to present day, and uh put out put
- 55:12Speaker 5: out one expanded version of all that for people. And
- 55:16Speaker 5: then you and I are working on a documentary together
- 55:18Speaker 5: about the pre Trie Rapture and I'm really excited about that.
- 55:22Speaker 5: So we're doing that, doing a lot of stuffier at
- 55:25Speaker 5: Prophecy Watchers, and then as far as after that, after
- 55:28Speaker 5: that the Quantum Physics cern book, I don't know, we'll see, uh,
- 55:31Speaker 5: we'll see what the Lord has in store.
- 55:33Speaker 3: Amen to that. Well, this has been great.
- 55:35Speaker 2: I hope you've enjoyed our conversations. Again, remind you to
- 55:38Speaker 2: join us. We're gonna be in Colorado, Colorado Springs here

- 55:46Speaker 2: coming up. And as we know, things are changing so
- 55:48Speaker 2: so fast. That's why there's so many books be written
- 55:51Speaker 2: because they almost become out of date very quickly. There
- 55:54Speaker 2: there's so much information happening, So appreciate you watch today.
