Caption transcript for Roadmap to Armageddon: “Abomination” (7/10)

• 00:01 ♪♪♪
• 00:07 Caleb Colson: But there's an event that happens at that
• 00:09 3 1/2-year point of the Tribulation that changes Satan's
• 00:12 mind that makes him decide he wants to embody the
• 00:14 beast itself.
• 00:15 Joshua Colson: Lucifer, once again, tries to use the beast to
• 00:18 ascend the mouth of God, but this time not the one in heaven
• 00:21 but the replica here on earth, the Temple Mount.
• 00:24 Caleb: He will go into the Holy of Holies, and he will sit upon
• 00:27 the mercy seat the [speaking foreign language], and he will
• 00:30 declare to the whole world that he is Yahweh.

• 00:40 David Hart: We thank you so much for joining us today on our
• 00:42 seventh program.
• 00:44 We've had a lot of ups and downs in the series today, and not
• 00:46 so up.
• 00:49 Joshua: This is not the top of the roller coaster.
• 00:51 This is after you hit bottom.
• 00:53 This is our least favorite topic-- or at least my
• 00:55 least favorite.
• 00:56 If you watch "The Bearded Bible Brothers," we take no joy in
• 00:58 discussing the abomination of desolation.
• 01:00 Kirsten Hart: I don't know why I'm smiling, I'm sorry, it's so
• 01:02 heavy, right?
• 01:04 Go, tell us.
• 01:05 Caleb: But it's so important because this event is the
• 01:08 culmination, the most pinnacle event, in the life of Satan.
• 01:11 This is what he has been working for, for thousands of years:
• 01:14 bringing pride, rebellion, death, and destruction
• 01:17 to humanity.
• 01:18 It's all for this moment.
• 01:20 You read in Isaiah 14, this is where his heart is at, is to
• 01:22 commit this abomination, and we're gonna see that doesn't go
• 01:25 quite as planned, so.
• 01:26 David: These guys are on location in Jerusalem.
• 01:29 Let's go there now.

• 01:39 male: Colsons, I know you're in there.
• 01:40 Caleb: We're not in.
• 01:42 Joshua: Nobody's here.
• 01:43 male: Coming in.
• 01:48 Just watch the video.
• 01:51 Caleb: I don't wanna talk about this today.
• 01:53 All right, let's see what Jeff has to say.
• 01:56 Joshua: Fine.
• 01:58 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Gentlemen, you ever heard the expression "when
• 02:00 the devil has his day"?
• 02:04 Well, tell the story, please.
• 02:08 When the wicked inhabits the holy, when he takes his seat in
• 02:12 the temple of God and defiles, oh, they think he's a savior.
• 02:17 He's a vulture.
• 02:19 Tell the story.
• 02:20 It's not easy to tell, but I know you're gonna do it well.
• 02:24 Caleb: There's only one way we can do this.
• 02:26 We gotta go to the Temple Mount today.
• 02:29 Joshua: No!
• 02:32 Joshua: You know, for the last five years, Caleb has tricked me
• 02:34 into talking about the abomination of desolation on
• 02:37 "The Bearded Bible Brothers," but I never expected Jeff to do
• 02:41 the same.
• 02:43 I feel betrayed.
• 02:44 ♪♪♪
• 02:54 ♪♪♪
• 02:57 Caleb: All right, fine, Jeff.
• 02:58 We'll talk about all that terrible stuff, but we gotta
• 03:00 build up to the real horrible event of the abomination.
• 03:04 Guys, everybody likes to go into the timing of these
• 03:07 Revelation judgments.
• 03:08 I mean, nearly every day, people say, This seal was opened, that
• 03:11 trumpet blasted, this bowl of wrath was poured out.
• 03:13 It's all garbage.
• 03:14 None of these events can occur until Daniel 70 Week begins, and
• 03:18 that begins with the ratification of the peace treaty
• 03:20 with the beast.
• 03:22 Now, although some believe all these events are chronological,
• 03:24 Josh, that is not the case.
• 03:25 John the apostle was beyond time, looking at all these
• 03:29 events occurring around him like a panorama.
• 03:31 John Parsons, our Hebrew writer for a--
• 03:34 calls it the Helix of Time.
• 03:36 We do get these specific days for judgments later on in the
• 03:40 Tribulation, but for right now, we're gonna go over some events
• 03:44 that we know for absolute certainty occur in those first
• 03:46 3 1/2 years, and that's, like, the Four Horsemen.
• 03:48 We know that's gonna happen.
• 03:50 Joshua: That's gonna happen.
• 03:51 Revelation 6, the seven seals are being opened.
• 03:55 The first seal is the impostor messiah riding on the
• 03:59 white horse.
• 04:00 That's the beast, guys.
• 04:02 Caleb: He goes out only after the Rapture takes place, then
• 04:06 the beast appears.
• 04:08 But the second rider on the horse is wars, okay?
• 04:11 And the beast goes to make war and the results are bloody.
• 04:15 Joshua: Well, guys, the third is one of my least favorite.
• 04:17 It's the inflation horse.
• 04:18 It's why you don't have a 99-cent menu anymore.
• 04:21 It affects everyone.
• 04:22 Caleb: Okay, the fourth horse is death and destruction.
• 04:25 A fourth of the world's population dies by famine, by
• 04:29 plague, by war, by wild animals.
• 04:31 [eagle crying]
• 04:32 I don't know how that happens, but we know a fourth of the
• 04:35 population dies before a third and before a half, so this is
• 04:37 a prerequisite.
• 04:39 Joshua: The fifth is very sad.
• 04:40 It showcases the Holocaust that happens to the remaining saints
• 04:43 that believe in Yeshua, and the sixth doesn't happen immediately
• 04:46 after that.
• 04:48 It's the double-helix effect we talked about there, but that
• 04:50 does not happen until the last day of the Tribulation, the
• 04:53 terrible day of the Lord, and we are guaranteed of that.
• 04:55 Caleb: Because that's the sun turning black and the moon
• 04:57 turning into blood-- not until the last day, guys, so.
• 05:00 Joshua: Yeah, let's check this out, brother.
• 05:02 ♪♪♪
• 05:10 Caleb: All right, baby steps, guys.
• 05:12 We will ascend the abominated mount, but before that, we
• 05:15 decided to take a detour to the Western Wall first.
• 05:17 It's, like, you know, getting your stretches in before you do
• 05:20 the big workout, and it builds proper suspense.
• 05:24 Joshua: You've never done the big workout, brother.
• 05:26 Caleb: Shut up, Josh.
• 05:27 ♪♪♪
• 05:37 ♪♪♪
• 05:47 Caleb: Babylon the Great, the kingdom of the beast, is
• 05:50 inherently linked with the Babylon of the past.
• 05:52 I've heard it said that Babylon is a bookends of history.
• 05:55 This is absolutely accurate.
• 05:57 The first Babel was created by Nimrod.
• 05:59 He was this one-world dictator who united the world under one
• 06:02 voice against God, and he had them build a tower.
• 06:06 The Tower of Babel was a ziggurat to mirror* of a former
• 06:09 mount of congregation, Mount Eden.
• 06:11 Joshua: Nimrod made this deal with Satan because he wanted to
• 06:14 fulfill his lifelong dream: build a throne higher
• 06:16 than Elyon.
• 06:18 The deal is, the scattered languages of Babel are going to
• 06:22 limit the power of the beast and the dominion of the beast.
• 06:25 Caleb: That's right.
• 06:26 That's why God scattered languages, so he would never
• 06:28 have a one-world dominion ever again.
• 06:32 male narrator: Isaiah 14:12 through 14.
• 06:35 Joshua: "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of
• 06:38 the morning!
• 06:39 How you are cut down to the ground, you who weaken
• 06:41 the nations!
• 06:43 Caleb: For you have said in your heart: 'I will ascend
• 06:44 into heaven.
• 06:46 I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will also sit on
• 06:49 the mount of congregation on the farthest sides of the north: I
• 06:53 will ascend above the heights of the clouds.
• 06:55 I will be like the Most High.'"
• 06:58 Caleb: That passage in Isaiah is literally the most blasphemous
• 07:02 defiance in all of scripture.
• 07:04 It's like the prologue.
• 07:05 It gives the entire motivation for the villain of the story,
• 07:09 the pride and arrogance of the creation to try to ascend higher
• 07:13 than the Creator.
• 07:14 Caleb: Guys, the Neo-Babylonian Empire rose to
• 07:18 power in 626 BC when Nebuchadnezzar's father,
• 07:21 Nabopolassar, joined an alliance with the Medes to throw off the
• 07:25 yoke of Assyria, and they conquered Nineveh.
• 07:28 Well, in Babylon, there was a temple to the God
• 07:32 Marduk: Etemenanki.
• 07:34 You know, it's like Babel.
• 07:35 People think that's the structure that Babel was.
• 07:38 And once a year, the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, would
• 07:42 go to the top of that temple and he would perform a ritual sex
• 07:46 act with the temple prostitute, showing himself to be
• 07:48 part divine.
• 07:49 So, the-- all these Babylonian kings were meant to be a
• 07:53 representation of the God Marduk himself, and so will be the case
• 07:56 also with the last Nimrod in the last Babylon.
• 08:00 Joshua: Lucifer, once again, tries to use the beast to ascend
• 08:03 the mount of God, but this time not the one in heaven but the
• 08:06 replica here on earth, the Temple Mount.
• 08:10 Caleb: Ezekiel 28:16 through 17 says, So I drove you in disgrace
• 08:15 from the mount of God, and I expelled you, guardian cherub,
• 08:18 from among the fiery stones.
• 08:20 Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you
• 08:23 corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor, so I threw you to
• 08:26 the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings.

• 09:00 Joshua: Satan became the prince of the power of the air, that
• 09:03 second heaven that surrounds the earth in the
• 09:05 spiritual dimension.
• 09:07 When Adam gave up the keys of dominion, Satan took back the
• 09:12 authority he once had over the earth, but Yeshua came and he
• 09:16 took it back on the cross.
• 09:17 Caleb: That's right, guys.
• 09:19 Satan and his fallen angels still hold thrones of power in
• 09:22 this second heaven, in the spirit world.
• 09:24 According to Ephesians 6:12, they are the spiritual
• 09:26 wickedness in high places, but there's an event that happens at
• 09:30 that 3 1/2-year point of the Tribulation that changes Satan's
• 09:34 mind that makes him decide he wants to embody the beast
• 09:36 itself, and Revelation 12:7 through 9 says, "And war broke
• 09:41 out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon;
• 09:44 and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not
• 09:47 prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer.
• 09:50 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called
• 09:53 the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was
• 09:57 cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."
• 10:01 Yes, guys, this is a parallel prophecy, if you didn't know.
• 10:05 Yes, Satan and his angels were cast down to earth at the
• 10:08 beginning of time, but this event in the middle of
• 10:10 Tribulation, Josh, is when they're cast out of that second
• 10:13 heaven down to the first heaven.
• 10:14 They're trapped in our finite realm of time-space, and now
• 10:17 they go out, in verse 12, seeking revenge on mankind.
• 10:20 It says that "therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell
• 10:24 in them!
• 10:26 Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea!
• 10:27 For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because
• 10:32 he knows that he has a short time."
• 10:35 Joshua: This leads us to the beast, who, well, has bitten off
• 10:38 way more than he can chew, and not everybody's happy with the
• 10:40 beast's rule.
• 10:42 In fact, three of his kings decide that they're gonna go
• 10:43 ahead and plot against him, but what really has to happen is
• 10:46 that he has to get assassinated so that Satan himself can come
• 10:50 indwell that dirty, nephilin shell of a creature and become
• 10:54 the true beast.
• 10:57 Joshua: Revelation 13:2 through 6, "The dragon gave him
• 11:01 [the Beast] his power, his throne, and great authority.
• 11:05 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded,
• 11:09 and his deadly wound was healed.
• 11:11 And all of the world marveled and followed the beast.
• 11:14 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and
• 11:19 they worshiped the beast, saying, 'Who is like the beast?
• 11:22 Who is able to make war with him?'"

• 11:29 Joshua: Oh, you thought I wasn't.
• 11:31 That's cute.
• 11:32 You thought this was my first trip on this bridge.
• 11:39 Joshua: "And he was given a mouth speaking great things and
• 11:42 blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for
• 11:45 forty-two months.
• 11:47 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to

• 12:14 He suffers a head wound,
• 12:16 the Word says, mortal head wound, probably a
• 12:18 gunshot, and he dies, and then he's gonna be resurrected.
• 12:23 If I know Satan, who's resurrected him?
• 12:26 The dragon.
• 12:27 He's probably gonna wait three days because he's got a flair
• 12:29 for the dramatic.
• 12:30 After that three days, concludes the 42 month period that is--
• 12:34 takes us to the middle of the Tribulation, where he commits
• 12:37 the abomination of desolation.
• 12:40 Caleb: That's right, guys, and this is where it all goes down,
• 12:43 on the Temple Mount.
• 12:44 You know, Satan and the body of a beast, he will go into
• 12:48 the temple.
• 12:49 He will commit the abominable sacrifice.
• 12:51 He will profane the altar, just like Antiochus Epiphanes did in
• 12:54 the past, possibly sacrificing a pig on it.
• 12:58 He's gonna set an image, an idol to himself-- you know, the image
• 13:02 of the beast, so famous that we've heard about.
• 13:05 He will go into the Holy of Holies, and he will sit upon the
• 13:08 mercy seat, the [speaking foreign language], and he will

• 13:44 Caleb: The Jewish people might have been duped at first by this
• 13:46 false prophet, thinking he's the Messiah and the beast is a
• 13:49 friendly representative.
• 13:51 All bets are off when they see this repeat abomination
• 13:54 sometimes pass 'cause this beast will then stop the daily
• 13:59 sacrifices and declare that they can no longer do the work
• 14:05 of Elohim.
• 14:08 Joshua: Also bad news.
• 14:09 That's a lot of bad news happening here, brother.
• 14:11 Caleb: All right, many of you may be wondering why we were
• 14:14 using a selfie stick, whispering and, yes, panting on the
• 14:18 Temple Mount.
• 14:19 Well, this was really like mission impossible, guys.
• 14:22 You know it's illegal to do what we did on the Mount, teaching
• 14:25 the Bible by this Muslim shrine?
• 14:26 We were evading the Muslim waqt, literal spies that were hunting
• 14:31 us down on the Mount, and, of course, your friendly IDF.
• 14:34 We actually got caught once by one of those spies.
• 14:36 They warned us not to film.
• 14:38 What do you think we did?
• 14:40 Joshua: Daniel 8:11 and 12, "He [the Beast]
• 14:44 even exalted himself as high as the Prince of the host [Yeshua];
• 14:49 and by him the daily sacrifices were taken away, and the place
• 14:53 of His sanctuary was cast down.
• 14:56 Because of transgression, an army was given over to the horn
• 15:00 to oppose daily sacrifices; and he cast truth down to
• 15:04 the ground.
• 15:05 He did all this and prospered."
• 15:08 Joshua: Well, guys, the Jews know that they've been duped
• 15:10 finally when the false prophet begins to blaspheme.
• 15:14 He turns and he worships the beast.
• 15:17 He even declares him to be Yahweh.
• 15:20 Caleb: But at this moment of desperation, when all hope seems
• 15:24 lost, the two witnesses show up, God sends them, and they have
• 15:30 supernatural strength.
• 15:31 The beast demands worship, or else everyone must die.
• 15:35 But there's supernatural strength, miraculous wonders for
• 15:39 fire that comes from these two witnesses' mouth.
• 15:41 Listen to what the scriptures have to say.
• 15:44 Joshua: Oh, that's epic.
• 15:46 Joshua: Revelation 11:3 through 6, "And I will give power to My
• 15:50 two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two
• 15:53 hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.
• 15:57 And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their
• 16:00 mouth and devours their enemies.
• 16:03 And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in
• 16:06 this manner.
• 16:07 These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the
• 16:11 days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn
• 16:15 them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often
• 16:19 as they desire."
• 16:21 Caleb: Look at these pigeons.
• 16:22 Bird!
• 16:25 Anybody doesn't know, I have an obsession with birds.
• 16:27 I just like to look at them.
• 16:28 I think they're fascinating, and I like to see them fly up and do
• 16:31 all their little bird stuff.
• 16:33 These birds don't seem to be worried by me.
• 16:34 They're just flying around, doing all their bird stuff.
• 16:38 So, yeah, I'm a bird and I'm doing my job.
• 16:46 Joshua: The beast and his armies can do nothing to stop the two
• 16:48 witnesses-- literally nothing.
• 16:50 Then a miracle happens: 144,000 Jewish virgin males at least
• 16:56 show up, and the name of God, Yahweh, appears on their
• 17:00 forehead, sealing them.
• 17:03 Caleb: I suspect more than 144,000 will be saved by the
• 17:08 witness-- the two prophets, and they will remember Yeshua's
• 17:13 words and flee to the wilderness, to Bozrah, as it
• 17:16 says in Matthews 24.
• 17:18 Joshua: No, no, no, don't worry, Caleb was not translated from
• 17:21 one spot to another.
• 17:23 He's not that holy-- yet.
• 17:24 This is what you call evasive maneuvers.
• 17:26 This is what it's like to be hunted for the gospel.
• 17:28 This is what happens when you try to preach on the
• 17:31 Temple Mount.
• 17:32 So, like any other good believer, I employed some
• 17:36 tactics and distracted all the tiny Middle Eastern men by
• 17:39 taking selfies with this beautiful Palestinian feline.
• 17:42 Now, back to Matthew 24.
• 17:44 Joshua: Matthew 24:15 through 18, "'Therefore when you see the
• 17:49 "abomination of desolation," spoken of by Daniel the prophet,
• 17:53 standing in the holy place' (whoever reads, let him
• 17:56 understand), 'then let those who are in Judea flee to
• 17:59 the mountains.
• 18:01 Let him who was on the housetop not go down to take anything out
• 18:04 of his house.
• 18:05 And let him who was in the field not go back to get
• 18:07 his clothes.'"
• 18:13 Caleb: All right, these these two witnesses, according to
• 18:16 Revelation 12:14, are the two eagles' wings, not America.
• 18:19 They will lead the Jews to a place of safety called Bozrah, a
• 18:23 place where they'll be supernaturally cared for from
• 18:25 the armies of beasts.
• 18:26 Scripture says--.
• 18:28 Joshua: In Micah 2:12, "I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of
• 18:32 thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put
• 18:36 them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the
• 18:40 midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of
• 18:43 the multitude of men."
• 18:45 Joshua: The beast will pursue the Jews with his great armies,
• 18:48 but just like the rebellion of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, God
• 18:51 will intervene supernaturally.
• 18:53 The earth will open up and swallow those armies, every one
• 18:57 of them.
• 19:01 Joshua: Revelation 12:15 through 17, "So the serpent spewed water
• 19:05 out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might
• 19:08 cause her to be carried away by the flood.
• 19:11 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth
• 19:14 and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of
• 19:18 his mouth.
• 19:19 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make
• 19:22 war with the rest of her offspring, who keeps the
• 19:25 commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

• 19:35 last 3 1/2 years of great tribulation to annihilate all
• 19:39 the saints, all of God's people, but most importantly, the Jewish
• 19:42 people-- he's been waiting for this his whole life-- he's gonna

• 20:57 when you're watching that you don't get thrown out, arrested,
• 21:00 or shot?
• 21:01 That was our experience.
• 21:03 Caleb: It was fun, guys, and it's a very, really terrifying
• 21:06 subject matter.
• 21:07 It's a pinnacle moment in history, and just in case you
• 21:09 think we were coming up with some of the stuff out of thin
• 21:12 air, it's not really biblical doctrine, we decided to speak to
• 21:15 an expert on this matter: Jeff Kinley.
• 21:17 He's a pastor, he's an author, he's a Bible teacher, and he's
• 21:21 gonna tell you more about the subject of the abomination.
• 21:25 Jeff Kinley: During the tribulation period, God's
• 21:27 turning his attention back to Israel.
• 21:28 He wants to woo Israel back, romance Israel back.
• 21:31 It's gonna be a horrible, terrible time for the nation of
• 21:34 Israel during that time, but at that midpoint, Antichrist is
• 21:37 going to break a peace treaty that he made with the Israeli
• 21:40 people, and during that time, he's going to enter into the
• 21:43 Holy of Holies.
• 21:45 2 Thessalonians tells us in chapter 2, verse 4, he's gonna
• 21:48 commit the abomination of desolation and desecrate that
• 21:50 place and essentially proclaim himself to be God.
• 21:54 He will exalt himself above every god or so-called object of
• 21:58 worship-- particularly this relates to the Jewish people
• 22:01 because at that time, there's going to be another
• 22:03 attempted holocaust.
• 22:05 Revelation 12 tells us he's gonna go after the Jewish
• 22:07 people, they're gonna run to the wilderness, God's gonna
• 22:10 supernaturally protect them, but it will be a time of
• 22:13 horrific persecution.
• 22:14 Joshua: So, we see that Satan kind of throughout history once
• 22:17 worshiped for himself.
• 22:19 We see the shift that happens in the type of worship before the
• 22:22 abomination with the one-world religion, and what
• 22:25 happens after?
• 22:26 What's the change in the way that they are worshiping the
• 22:28 beast or the way everything shifts in that moment?
• 22:31 Jeff: Yeah, so there'll be a one-world religion in the first
• 22:33 part of the tribulation period, but Satan-- because his long
• 22:36 ambition is to, as you said, be worshiped and to rule the
• 22:39 world-- he's gonna do that through personifying himself
• 22:42 through the Antichrist.
• 22:44 So, at that point, he's gonna basically say, "Look, I'm tired
• 22:46 of these other religions.
• 22:48 Christianity's gotta go.
• 22:49 The Rapture's already happened.
• 22:51 Islam's gotta go."
• 22:52 That'll probably happen with the Ezekiel 38:39 war, and then all
• 22:56 is left are the Jews.
• 22:57 And so, it-- all the bull's-eye goes back to the Jewish people.
• 23:00 And so, Satan is gonna put a target on them, try to
• 23:03 exterminate them from the planet, and that's when that
• 23:06 midtime-- that midpoint event happens with the abomination of
• 23:09 desolation, so that-- in essence, though, God will use
• 23:13 that to help the Jewish people come to know him because you'll
• 23:17 have 144,000 young Jewish male-- Billy Grahams, essentially, you
• 23:21 know-- preaching the gospel everywhere.
• 23:22 You're gonna have the two witnesses that are doing
• 23:24 incredible miracles during that time.
• 23:26 The temple will be rebuilt during that time as well.
• 23:28 So, I think that will illustrate what Yeshua has done for the
• 23:32 Jewish people, and the two witnesses will point to that.
• 23:34 And so, it'll be a time, I think, where-- the Bible says
• 23:37 one-third of the Jewish people will come to faith in him, and
• 23:40 thus all Israel will be saved, as Paul said in Romans 11.
• 23:45 Kirsten: I know that today we're talking about the abomination,
• 23:49 but haven't there been past ones?
• 23:51 The Maccabees, Hanukkah, and then 70 AD?
• 23:55 So, was it fulfilled in 70 AD?
• 23:58 Is it still coming or, you know?
• 24:00 Caleb: Well, that's interesting.
• 24:01 They're like parallel prophecies.
• 24:03 I believe prophecies have fulfillment in the-- sometime in
• 24:05 the present also in the future.
• 24:07 The abomination of desolation, the
• 24:09 [speaking in foreign language]
• 24:11 that's talking about, Yeshua said in Matthew 24:15 it hasn't
• 24:14 been fulfilled.
• 24:15 He says, "When you see the abomination of desolation spoken
• 24:18 by the prophet Daniel--" so, he's saying, "Oh, that
• 24:20 that happened?
• 24:22 That was just Satan's dress rehearsal."
• 24:23 Kirsten: Kind of like the many Antichrists, but not the same
• 24:27 kind of thing.
• 24:28 Caleb: They can carry the spirit of the Antichrist upon them, so
• 24:30 I think we should look at Daniel 9:27 'cause there's more to this
• 24:34 prophetic fulfillment than we know.
• 24:35 Joshua: Daniel 9:27 says, "Then he shall confirm a covenant with
• 24:39 many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall
• 24:42 bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
• 24:44 And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,
• 24:48 Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured
• 24:51 out on the desolate."
• 24:53 Caleb: So that desolation, that word in Hebrew is
• 24:57 [speaking foreign language].
• 24:58 Now, it has a double meaning.
• 24:59 Yes, desolation, destruction, but also means to wonder,
• 25:02 to marvel.
• 25:04 It's like when you get an epiphany, you're like, "That's--
• 25:06 I can't stop focusing on it."
• 25:08 So, literally, the beast, he brings scorched earth wherever
• 25:11 he goes, and people just stare on him and wonder at
• 25:14 his destruction.
• 25:15 So, this abomination is two parts.
• 25:17 They can't but marvel at the horror and the brilliance of it
• 25:21 at the same time.
• 25:22 It's [speaking foreign language], it's crazy.
• 25:24 There's another Hebrew word I wanna discuss.
• 25:26 It's the consummation, [speaking foreign language],
• 25:30 and that-- it's another one of those
• 25:33 double-meaning words 'cause it
• 25:34 means something to come to fruition, to destiny,
• 25:37 and it's rooted in [speaking foreign language],
• 25:39 a hard-labor person.
• 25:41 So, basically, what we're talking about here is something
• 25:43 that Satan is doing that is destined from the beginning of
• 25:47 time, but it's his doom, his destruction, that is destined.
• 25:51 It's also written [speaking foreign language], where we get
• 25:53 [speaking foreign language], like in nephilim, it's a root
• 25:56 from nephilim, so he has already had his doom sealed, and it's
• 26:01 coming upon him, and there's nothing that he can do to stop
• 26:03 it, and he's-- as he creates destruction, destruction and
• 26:07 doom is coming upon him.
• 26:08 Joshua: And this is why you always read at the end of
• 26:10 the story because then as he finally sits down, it's his day
• 26:13 after all of his life.
• 26:15 The two witnesses show up: Enoch, Elijah.
• 26:17 They got 144,000 with them, and they're leading people
• 26:20 to Yeshua.
• 26:21 Kirsten: That's a lot in a moment.
• 26:23 Caleb: Yeah, it's crazy.
• 26:24 David: It's a topic that we really have to discuss, and we
• 26:28 know that you have many more topics that you wanna bring to
• 26:31 this ministry.
• 26:33 We couldn't do any of that without your help.
• 26:35 We ask you to pray about giving to this ministry.
• 26:38 We thank you so much for that.
• 26:39 Kirsten: We'll be right back.
• 26:45 David: Our resource this week: the book "The Iranian Menace in
• 26:48 Jewish History and Prophecy" by Dr. Jeffrey Seif.
• 26:52 As Iran continues to capture the world's attention with threats
• 26:56 and tactical support of Israel's enemies, Dr. Seif uses
• 26:59 scriptural and secular evidence to support his case for the
• 27:03 Iranian-Armageddon connection.
• 27:06 Contact us and ask for the book "The Iranian Menace."
• 27:12 David: We hope you'll stay with us through this whole series.
• 27:15 It's really like a roller coaster ride-- ups and downs,
• 27:19 good and bad.
• 27:20 What's coming up next week?
• 27:22 Joshua: Next week is not upbeat either.
• 27:23 Next week--.
• 27:24 Caleb: Sorry, guys.
• 27:26 Joshua: It's very sad.
• 27:27 It deals with the last 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation, the
• 27:30 most powerfully devastating time in the history for the Jews, the
• 27:33 time of Jacob's trouble.
• 27:35 So, it's gonna be a really rough episode next week.
• 27:37 Kirsten: But we do know there's good news way at the end.
• 27:39 Okay, that's coming.
• 27:40 David: Time to go, guys.
• 27:42 Caleb: And, guys, remember to always
• 27:43 [speaking foreign language].
• 27:46 David: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
