Caption transcript for Josiah and the Last Reformation: “The Coming Antichrist” (8/8)

• 00:39 Joshua Colson: We began this series explaining how the last
• 00:42 days of Josiah's life and the last days of the kingdom of
• 00:45 Judah parallel the last days that we're in today.
• 00:48 The prophecy of Babylon returning back then, and the
• 00:51 prophecies today, being in Babylon the Great right around
• 00:54 the corner.
• 00:55 Everything in life is lining up.
• 00:57 The stage is set.
• 00:59 Caleb Colson: And guys, we wanna end this series on a warm fuzzy
• 01:02 note, but we can't.
• 01:04 Joshua: For those of you who don't know Caleb that well, he
• 01:06 hates happy endings.
• 01:07 So don't expect a lot of funny from this episode.
• 01:10 It's gonna be real sad and real somber.
• 01:13 Caleb: Because there's a great mistake that Josiah made at the
• 01:15 end of his life that not only cost him his life, but brought
• 01:19 about the end of the kingdom of Judah.
• 01:21 And that's why we came here to Megiddo, the place where it all
• 01:25 began, where his final battle was, and where the final battle
• 01:27 against Satan will occur someday as well.
• 01:37 Joshua: King Solomon built Megiddo as a royal chariot city.
• 01:40 Yes, in disobedience to God who told him not to collect a
• 01:43 cavalry or chariots.
• 01:47 Caleb: Well, obviously, this is completely out of left field and
• 01:50 not appropriate to the story, but Josh and I look pretty cool
• 01:53 in that chariot.
• 01:54 Am I right?
• 01:56 We can totally pull off the Judah Ben-Hur bit.
• 02:07 Joshua: Yet in the stables and the ruins over here, they could
• 02:09 house up to 150 horses.
• 02:12 Caleb: Twenty-six layers of civilization covered this Tel.
• 02:15 It's not a mountain, it's a man-made hill.
• 02:18 And you see all around us, there's ruins of 17 temples.
• 02:22 There's grain silos that was built by Jeroboam II.
• 02:25 There's two palaces.
• 02:27 King Ahab even built a water cistern that could bring in
• 02:30 water in case of an enemy that would lay siege around them.
• 02:34 But the most important fact that it was a watch tower.
• 02:37 It stood as a vanguard for all the kings of Israel to look over
• 02:40 at the Via Maris, in case an enemy army was approaching.
• 02:44 Joshua: This is where our story begins.
• 02:46 In the 31st year of Josiah's reign.
• 02:50 He's 39 years old and at peace.
• 02:54 Joshua: 2 Chronicles 35:20, "After all this, when Josiah had
• 02:57 set the temple in order, Necho king of Egypt went up to fight
• 03:01 at Carchemish on the Euphrates, and Josiah marched out to meet
• 03:05 him in battle."
• 03:11 Joshua: You know, Josiah gets word from his garrison here at
• 03:14 Megiddo that the entire armies of Egypt are headed this way,
• 03:19 and they behind them have Pharaoh Necho and all of Egypt.
• 03:26 What he doesn't know is that Pharaoh Necho is heading to
• 03:29 Carchemish for one of the greatest battles that that city
• 03:33 in Syria had seen, and it takes place in 605 BC.
• 03:37 Caleb: That's right.
• 03:38 Egypt had allied to try to save the Assyrian Empire.
• 03:41 And on the other side was Babylon, the Medes, the
• 03:43 Persians, and the Scythians that were contending with them.
• 03:46 A quick history lesson, guys.
• 03:48 Joshua: And by quick, he means put on your Thanksgiving pants
• 03:51 and get relaxed, because the only thing that he likes better
• 03:54 than sad endings is tragic historical endings.
• 03:58 ♪♪♪
• 04:08 ♪♪♪
• 04:11 Caleb: Back at the beginning of Josiah's reformation, this was
• 04:15 about the time that Jeremiah first began to prophesy.
• 04:18 There's trouble brewing in the Assyrian Empire.
• 04:22 You had Nabopolassar, who is Nebuchadnezzar's father, and he
• 04:26 had made an alliance with Media, and the price for this alliance
• 04:29 would be his firstborn son, Nebuchadnezzar, would marry
• 04:32 Amytis, the sister of Cyaxares, the king of Media.
• 04:37 And with this alliance, they fought and threw off the yoke of
• 04:40 Assyria, and Nabopolassar made himself king over Babylon.
• 04:44 For 14 years, Babylon and Assyria, they would fight and
• 04:47 contend back and forth.
• 04:49 But God held the Babylonians at bay, and didn't allow them to
• 04:54 come and conquer Judah, even though they even wiped
• 04:59 out Nineveh.
• 05:01 The Babylonians came and Nabopolassar and Nebuchadnezzar
• 05:02 wiped out Nineveh in 615 BC, just as the prophet Nahum had
• 05:07 predicted, God still held them off.
• 05:10 Joshua: Little did they know that doomsday was approaching.
• 05:13 As Caleb had said, Babylon and Assyria had been fighting, and
• 05:16 God held off the forces.
• 05:18 As long as Josiah was winning in these fights, he would hold it
• 05:22 off on Judah's behalf.
• 05:23 But what Josiah didn't know is that God had sent Necho.
• 05:28 He had sent them to be a blockade to stand against the
• 05:32 forces of Babylon and Nebuchadnezzar, and Josiah comes
• 05:35 in without asking God at all and tries to block Necho.
• 05:40 Joshua: 2 Chronicles 35:21, "But Necho sent messages to
• 05:44 him, Josiah, saying, 'What quarrel is there, king of Judah,
• 05:48 between you and me?
• 05:50 It's not you I'm attacking at this time, but the house for
• 05:53 which I am at war.
• 05:54 God has told me to hurry; so stop opposing God, who is with
• 05:58 me, or he will destroy you.'"
• 06:02 Joshua: I'm sure that Josiah is thinking, "How can God speak to
• 06:04 the profane, the unclean, the uncircumcised?"
• 06:06 But, you see, our amazing God has a history of doing
• 06:09 just that.
• 06:10 Josiah had been following the law down to the letter, and I
• 06:13 fear that maybe he had slipped into legalism.
• 06:16 We've seen churches today that come out of great sin, and they
• 06:18 grab onto the law and live legalistically instead of in
• 06:21 relationship.
• 06:22 And we've seen so many moves of God that have been squelched
• 06:25 because of that same behavior.
• 06:26 Caleb: That's right.
• 06:27 So we know that Josiah could have consulted a prophet of the
• 06:30 Lord, like the prophet Jeremiah, who at this moment in history
• 06:33 was currently in a standoff with corrupt priests, false prophets
• 06:37 as well.
• 06:38 And even assassins were sent by his own parents trying to kill
• 06:42 him because he spoke the words of the Lord.
• 06:45 So, many rabbis believe, as King Josiah marched out to Megiddo,
• 06:49 that this was when Jeremiah was captured, and whipped 39 times,
• 06:53 and put in stocks in the temple.
• 06:56 Joshua: I'm so glad our parents never sent out assassins on you.
• 07:01 Caleb: 2 Chronicles 35:22: "Josiah, however, would
• 07:06 not turn away from him [Pharaoh Necho], but disguised himself to
• 07:10 engage him in battle.
• 07:12 He would not listen to what Necho had said at God's command
• 07:16 but went to fight him on the plain of Megiddo.
• 07:22 Caleb: Guys, Josiah knew he was in the wrong, otherwise he
• 07:26 wouldn't have disguised himself for battle.
• 07:28 Rabbis have thought about this fierce determination that Josiah
• 07:33 had against Pharaoh Necho, and they believe Leviticus 26:6,
• 07:36 which says, "The sword shall not go through your land," was his
• 07:39 reasoning behind trying to block him.
• 07:41 I mean, he just cleared out the land of all those pagan temples.
• 07:44 He didn't want any new ones, you know, like these ruins of the
• 07:48 pagan temples behind me.
• 07:50 And so he goes to try to stop the armies of Pharaoh Necho, and
• 07:55 his pride was what led to his downfall.
• 07:57 Now Scripture says, 2 Chronicles 35:23, "The archers shot King
• 08:03 Josiah, and he told his officers, 'Take me away.
• 08:06 I am badly wounded.'
• 08:08 So they took him out of his chariot, put him in his other
• 08:11 chariot, and brought him to Jerusalem, where he died."
• 08:15 Joshua: For such an honorable life, Josiah met such a
• 08:19 tragic end.
• 08:20 Thirty-nine years old.
• 08:22 Guys, I'm in my mid-40s.
• 08:24 I've made it longer than he ever did.
• 08:26 For all of the decisions that he made that were right, for all
• 08:29 the times when he found out something was sin, he
• 08:31 immediately put a stop to it.
• 08:33 He messed up one time at Megiddo and he faced his end.
• 08:36 Do you know how many times in my life I've sinned, I've messed
• 08:40 up, I knew better, and I kept doing things anyway?
• 08:42 And I have the Holy Spirit inside of me just like you do as
• 08:44 a believer.
• 08:46 And yet we still don't listen to that still small voice every
• 08:48 time as we should.
• 08:50 Caleb: And so with Pharaoh Necho having been slowed down by
• 08:53 Josiah's army, he finally makes it north to the battle of
• 08:56 Carchemish, and waiting for him is this coming
• 08:59 antichrist, Nebuchadnezzar.
• 09:01 And Nebuchadnezzar is no longer restrained by God because of
• 09:04 Josiah's death, and he soundly defeats Egypt and their
• 09:08 ally, Assyria.
• 09:10 Assyria has wiped off the face of history.
• 09:12 And Nebuchadnezzar would come and conquer Judah.
• 09:15 But word comes to him that his father died in Babylon, King
• 09:19 Nabopolassar, so he rushes back to Babylon to try to fight with
• 09:23 his brothers to gain the crown.
• 09:25 Caleb: 2 Thessalonians 2:9, "The coming of the lawless one
• 09:29 is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs,
• 09:33 and lying wonders."
• 09:38 Caleb: Guys, the verses before that passage explain that the
• 09:43 coming of a lawless one is only hindered by the Restrainer.
• 09:47 Now, we know that the Restrainer is the Holy Spirit, the Ruach
• 09:50 Hakodesh, but once he is removed from the earth during the
• 09:53 rapture, we assume, is when the beast will be revealed to
• 09:57 the world.
• 09:58 Joshua: We know that this is coming, but we have a short
• 10:01 period of time in which we can hold that coming back, the
• 10:05 tribulation, that final time of judgment.
• 10:08 Just as God held back Nebuchadnezzar for Josiah and
• 10:12 Judah, because Josiah repented and he cleansed the sin from the
• 10:18 land, God held it back.
• 10:20 And we can have this great revival, this final moment of
• 10:24 God's outpouring before this tribulation.
• 10:27 If we'll repent, if we'll let the Holy Spirit within us rise
• 10:31 up, and we choose God, we can see him move again before this
• 10:37 land will be dripping with the blood of the sins of mankind.
• 10:42 Joshua: 1 Peter 4:17 through 18, "For the time has come
• 10:46 for judgment to begin at the house of God, and if it begins
• 10:49 with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the
• 10:53 gospel of God?
• 10:54 Now, 'If the righteous one is scarcely saved, where will the
• 10:58 ungodly and the sinner appear?'"
• 11:01 Caleb: Judgment is coming. Correction first to his bride.
• 11:05 How can he judge the nations if we fall in the same sins as
• 11:08 the world?
• 11:09 But even before God can judge the nations, he has to judge his
• 11:13 own representatives first, Israel.
• 11:17 Guys, nobody wants to give this message.
• 11:20 Not the church.
• 11:22 The church wants to support Israel 100%, I understand that.
• 11:25 There's been so much anti-Semitism over the years
• 11:28 that we don't want to say bad things about Israel.
• 11:30 But you can't condone anybody 100% of the time, especially
• 11:33 when they've fallen into sin.
• 11:35 And judgment is coming.
• 11:36 Babylon the Great is coming.
• 11:39 And we have this short moment of time to repent, or else we don't
• 11:44 have that revival.
• 11:46 We don't have that reformation.
• 11:47 I was struggling with God when he first gave us this message.
• 11:50 I was in mourning because I felt his burden come upon me.
• 11:53 It was heavy.
• 11:54 And he gave me his words.
• 11:56 I said, "God, I cannot give these words, because if I give
• 11:59 these words and judgment will come afterwards because they
• 12:01 heard the truth and they rejected your truth."
• 12:04 And now is the time because we have that moment to repent.
• 12:07 Jeremiah 29:13 says, "You will seek me and find me, when
• 12:14 you will search for me with all your heart."
• 12:18 Joshua: Josiah appeared to have missed it in his final days.
• 12:22 Maybe he grew complacent.
• 12:24 Maybe he had spent his entire life in the time of an
• 12:27 eight-year-old old boy working, and striving, and fighting for
• 12:32 what was right that he got tired.
• 12:34 Maybe along the way of the fight, he became focused, and
• 12:40 legalistic, and it became mechanical for him.
• 12:44 All he could see was the law, and the rules, and the
• 12:47 daily steps.
• 12:49 But at the end of his life, through everything he had done,
• 12:53 he was judged by that final moment.
• 12:56 He was judged by that one decision that he decided to make
• 13:01 on his own, instead of consulting the Father, like
• 13:04 everything else.
• 13:06 As a nation, America has grown complacent.
• 13:12 But even more so, the body of Christ,
• 13:15 those of us who claim to be his children are the ones to blame
• 13:21 and yet we point the fingers at everybody else.
• 13:24 Every move of God in the history of mankind from the days that
• 13:29 God literally convened with Adam in the garden, we have done
• 13:32 something to try to control it.
• 13:35 Something to try to manage it, and to wrangle it into our
• 13:38 schedules, and our ideas, and the thoughts of how we think God
• 13:42 wanted it to be done.
• 13:44 And every time throughout history, those moves of God have
• 13:47 come to an end because his Spirit said I have to be in
• 13:52 control and yours can't.
• 13:55 We have a final shot in history for the sake of the people of
• 14:00 Israel, for the sake of the body of Christ to judge ourselves
• 14:05 for once.
• 14:07 To stop pointing the finger at everybody else and say, "You're
• 14:09 doing what's wrong, and you're what's wrong, and you're
• 14:11 the reason."
• 14:12 The problem isn't saying, "God, what is it I need to change?
• 14:17 Examine my heart and my life, and let me humble myself, and
• 14:23 let me be the first to repent.
• 14:25 Use me first.
• 14:26 Use me last.
• 14:28 Use me in every way that you want."
• 14:31 If we hope to see more souls up there with him, and less in
• 14:38 eternal darkness, that is our call to action today.
• 14:43 That is what we fight for.
• 14:46 That we humble ourselves and pray, and we turn from our
• 14:48 wicked ways if we have any hope of experiencing his presence and
• 14:53 seeing that change.
• 14:54 Guys, I wanna pray for us right now.
• 14:56 Dear Heavenly Father, I just pray for everyone in the sound
• 15:00 of my voice, everyone that's ever met you, that's ever known
• 15:03 you, anyone who's been resisting your voice.
• 15:05 Lord God, your people, the Jewish people, who you have
• 15:08 fought to save, generation after generation, let them hear your
• 15:12 voice and know that you are Father, let them know Yeshua is
• 15:16 the Messiah.
• 15:17 Dear Father, for the Christian Gentiles, Lord God,
• 15:20 who have accepted your name, but they have grown cold.
• 15:23 We have grown complacent.
• 15:25 We have grown controlling and manipulative of your Word.
• 15:27 Lord God, we repent humbly.
• 15:30 If we say use us again, let our final moment stand with our
• 15:35 face in the sun, staring in the face of our Father, hearing,
• 15:40 "Well done, my good and faithful servant," and not
• 15:44 looking in the mirror at ourselves, proud of what we've
• 15:46 accomplished and who we've become.
• 15:48 Lord, may your anointing, Lord God, your Holy Spirit, the Ruach
• 15:53 Hakodesh, flow through every person within the sound of
• 15:56 my voice.
• 15:58 Lord God, purge us clean by your fires.
• 16:00 Let your voice be the most prominent we hear, and the only
• 16:04 we follow, and Lord God use us again, we pray.
• 16:08 Use us to save every soul in the name of Yeshua, we pray.
• 16:13 Amen.
• 16:23 Joshua: [speaking in Hebrew]
• 16:32 Caleb: Hear, oh Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one, and
• 16:37 you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with
• 16:41 all your soul, and with all your strength.
• 16:49 Caleb: Anyone familiar with Messianic Jewish ministries have
• 16:52 heard of Rabbi Jonathan Cahn.
• 16:54 He is a famous author, writer, speaker of "The Harbinger," and
• 16:59 he even recently wrote a book called "The Josiah Manifesto" at
• 17:02 the same time that we were giving this message about Josiah
• 17:05 and the last reformation.
• 17:06 Joshua: I love when you see people giving the same message
• 17:08 that you're giving because it means we listen to God.
• 17:11 You gotta check out what he has to say.
• 17:12 His insight is incredible and very detailed.
• 17:14 Let's go to him now.
• 17:17 Jonathan Cahn: What if there was a mystery, a template for this
• 17:22 hour that lies behind really everything that's happening in
• 17:26 our culture, in our world.
• 17:27 Actually, the Lord could have given us this template for
• 17:31 a reason, that there's actually an answer.
• 17:34 There's actually a way to overcome it now and in the days
• 17:39 to come.
• 17:40 That's what I think, why I think the Lord gave all of
• 17:42 us this thing at the same time.
• 17:44 Joshua: So what do you feel led you to write this for this
• 17:46 moment right now?
• 17:48 What was so important about now?
• 17:49 Jonathan: Well, I had just finished writing "The Return of
• 17:52 the Gods" just before this, and that is kind of revealing what's
• 17:56 happening, you know, and the spirits and the--what's really
• 18:00 taken over our culture and what we're all dealing with.
• 18:03 But, you know, as soon as I finished it, it was like, "Lord,
• 18:05 is that okay?
• 18:07 Now you have to give an answer."
• 18:08 You know, given that, now, the answer.
• 18:10 And actually, it was the day that I finished writing the last
• 18:16 words of "The Return of the Gods" that something happened in
• 18:19 America that's actually linked to this mystery.
• 18:22 You see, you know, what is the most colossal bad altar that we
• 18:27 have in America?
• 18:30 It was the altar of Roe versus Wade, in which we offered up
• 18:32 sixty million children, which really links to Josiah in so
• 18:35 many ways.
• 18:37 And on the day that I finished "The Return of the Gods," and I
• 18:40 spoke about the altars, that was the day that that altar
• 18:43 was broken.
• 18:44 And that day began "The Josiah Manifesto."
• 18:49 So the Lord saying, like, there's an answer.
• 18:50 When I thought about it, I didn't plan this, but when I
• 18:52 thought about it, you know, Josiah really was an answer to
• 18:56 the gods of the idols of his time.
• 18:59 He was there.
• 19:00 And so, if you look at the cover of "The Josiah Manifesto,"
• 19:03 you'll see a broke--this is a broken altar, which was the day
• 19:07 that birthed it, as well.
• 19:09 Now remember, you know, I mean, again, I'm preaching to the
• 19:11 choir, but Josiah, you know, God was about to judge that nation,
• 19:16 and the raising up of one man, the actions of one man,
• 19:21 literally changed the course of that generation and forestalled
• 19:25 the judgment until Josiah was gone.
• 19:28 I mean, and that's a big-- that's one man being right.
• 19:31 One man turning to God and then doing everything he could to
• 19:34 turn his nation.
• 19:35 The only thing that can save America's revival--I don't, you
• 19:38 know, it's not polit--you know, we have to touch the
• 19:41 political realm.
• 19:42 We have to--we should vote, we should affect the world every
• 19:44 way we can, but in the end, you know, politics can't save us.
• 19:48 It can help open a door, just like having a righteous king can
• 19:51 help open a door, but without revival, it doesn't matter.
• 19:55 You know, without turning back to God, without repentance--God
• 19:58 said, "If my people," and he said, "If they repent, if
• 20:00 they turn."
• 20:02 So that is the only hope we have, if there is no revival,
• 20:06 then America as we know it is gone.
• 20:09 One of the things the Lord has led me from the beginning, you
• 20:11 know, like when I first wrote "The Harbinger," that was my
• 20:13 first book, is this parallel between the last days of Israel
• 20:18 and America right now, and that didn't have a good ending.
• 20:22 And, you know, the thing is that, and if you ask me now, "Do
• 20:25 I see the signs of revival?"
• 20:27 I mean, there are revivals, you know, God bless them.
• 20:30 But as a whole, America has not been turning, I mean, has not
• 20:35 turned back to God, and has not yet done that, and it's still
• 20:39 falling away.
• 20:40 And even when we've had a conservative administration,
• 20:43 that didn't stop the moral decay or the f--or the indoctrination
• 20:48 of our children, which is the future, away from God.
• 20:51 You know, God is merciful.
• 20:53 We have not seen the destruction at this point, but we need
• 20:57 revival or there will be calamity.
• 21:00 When Roe versus Wade was overturned--and of course, we
• 21:04 know that's not the end of the issue by a long shot, but it was
• 21:07 the hand of God.
• 21:09 It was gigantic, it was gigantic.
• 21:10 And the thing is that it's a biblical sign.
• 21:13 It's the sign of the broken altar.
• 21:16 That's throughout the Bible.
• 21:17 And it's not just the sign of the broken altar.
• 21:19 It's the sign of Josiah, because Josiah's whole life was linked
• 21:23 to the broken altar.
• 21:24 His very life was prophesied over a broken altar, you know,
• 21:29 hundreds of years before.
• 21:31 And then he, of all kings, was the one who broke the altars.
• 21:34 You know, in ancient times, the sign of revival was not a gospel
• 21:38 crusade tent meeting, which is great, but it was the breaking
• 21:42 of the al--they went up and they broke the altars where they
• 21:44 offered their children, they broke the altars of the gods
• 21:46 they were repenting.
• 21:48 And so it was a sign of revival.
• 21:50 So the Josiah moment is when a nation is on the verge of
• 21:54 judgment on one hand or revival on the other, and it's one or
• 21:59 the other.
• 22:00 And the thing is that--and then you see that with Josiah, but
• 22:03 it's--I believe this is a message from God that America is
• 22:06 standing in between those two things, judgment or revival.
• 22:09 If it doesn't have--without revival, it's judgment.
• 22:12 And the only thing that can push judgment off is revival, as
• 22:15 in Josiah.
• 22:16 And that really tells us that Josiah--it's like God is giving
• 22:19 us the the example of Josiah to say this is what's called for
• 22:23 right now.
• 22:24 This is the Josiah moment.
• 22:26 We have to be Josiahs, you know, for our generation, and how he
• 22:30 was, and he was amazing.
• 22:31 You know, he was born for his generation, and his generation
• 22:35 was made for him.
• 22:37 They needed him.
• 22:38 And so in the same way, we are born for our generation.
• 22:42 We're not, you know, we're not supposed to despair, and run,
• 22:44 and hide in the hills.
• 22:46 You know, we are supposed to be--this is our moment.
• 22:48 We--this is why we're born.
• 22:50 We have a job to do.
• 22:51 You know, we don't--we can't despair because we have a job
• 22:53 to do.
• 22:55 So just like Josiah, just do what you know is God--repent,
• 22:57 do whatever you have to do.
• 22:59 You already know it.
• 23:00 Do it today and it will lead you to the destiny for which you
• 23:03 were born and put in your mother's womb for such a time
• 23:06 as this.
• 23:09 Joshua: You know, the reason we referenced Josiah through this
• 23:11 whole series is because can you think of another man that
• 23:13 took it on his shoulders to reform an entire country when he
• 23:17 found out that they were in sin, and then continued along the way
• 23:20 to ensure with God that everything was right?
• 23:23 When we were shooting, we shot in front of the Kenesset one
• 23:26 day, and there's this part in the ground that says, "Last
• 23:29 chance, last hope."
• 23:30 And so this part wasn't scripted.
• 23:32 We were just relying on the Holy Spirit to talk, and I remember
• 23:34 talking about repentance being-- like I just felt it in
• 23:36 my spirit.
• 23:38 Repentance was so vital and necessary, and God gave me a
• 23:40 call to repentance at that moment.
• 23:42 And two days later, war broke out.
• 23:45 We are not promised tomorrow.
• 23:47 We live so often with this cushion that there's always more
• 23:51 opportunity, there's always another chance, and just one
• 23:54 more time with this, but we don't know how much time we
• 23:56 have left.
• 23:57 Kirsten Hart: I like Josiah's gutsiness.
• 24:01 He was a gutsy leader.
• 24:02 That took a lot of chutzpah.
• 24:05 Look at, I threw that out-- to do what he did.
• 24:07 To say, "We're changing it," and we need--and not just in
• 24:12 America but in the world, leaders that will stand up and
• 24:16 say, "It's time to change the whole dynamic."
• 24:20 Caleb: Yeah, and God told us originally, you know, the title
• 24:23 [speaking in Hebrew], this is about reformation, because
• 24:27 reformation changes everything from that point on.
• 24:30 It's not just a revival we need.
• 24:32 We need this great awakening to happen to the world because the
• 24:35 world has fallen into sin.
• 24:36 You look at America right now, committing the same sins of
• 24:39 Judah in the past.
• 24:40 I believe that judgment is coming and the church hasn't
• 24:43 done enough to change the culture.
• 24:45 The church has allowed the culture to change it.
• 24:47 You read in Revelation chapter 2 and 3, and God gives a warning
• 24:50 to the seven churches.
• 24:52 I believe that's a warning to those spirits that are on the
• 24:54 churches today.
• 24:56 And you see only one church out of seven is obedient.
• 24:58 One church out of seven hasn't fallen into sin.
• 25:00 Those are terrible odds if six out of seven churches today have
• 25:03 fallen into sin.
• 25:05 And that's why it's so important that we repent.
• 25:08 The Scripture that we read in 1 Peter I believe is like the
• 25:12 theme for this whole series.
• 25:13 Joshua: 1 Peter 4:17 through 18, which says, "For the time
• 25:17 has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it
• 25:20 begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not
• 25:24 obey the gospel of God?
• 25:25 Now 'If the righteous one is scarcely saved, where will be
• 25:29 the ungodly and the sinner appear?'"
• 25:31 Caleb: That's--it's gonna happen to us first.
• 25:34 And I believe in the last five years, you've seen churches
• 25:37 being exposed, pastors caught in sin, entire--you know, these
• 25:41 megachurches that are all around the world, they've been falling
• 25:44 from grace because God has to judge his home before he can
• 25:47 judge the world.
• 25:49 Kirsten: He held back Babylon in Josiah's day, but there is a
• 25:53 time where it was held back no more, and the judgment time
• 25:57 came, and Judah was no more for quite a while, and we pray, you
• 26:02 know, that holding back, that God would hold back the judgment
• 26:07 on America, on all the countries that watch this program,
• 26:10 even longer.
• 26:12 Can you hold that back?
• 26:13 Caleb: Why not?
• 26:15 There are spiritual and scriptural precedents for that.
• 26:16 He extended Hezekiah's life by 15 years because he
• 26:19 humbled himself.
• 26:20 Nineveh wasn't even given an option that they would be saved.
• 26:23 They repented, they got a hundred plus years before
• 26:25 judgment came, and Moses entreated God, "Don't destroy
• 26:29 these people."
• 26:30 He was gonna wipe out the entire Israelite race and just start
• 26:32 anew with Moses.
• 26:33 But that humility like Josiah, I believe if we repent now, we
• 26:38 can have that time of extension and that time of reformation
• 26:42 right before Babylon comes.
• 26:43 Joshua: Which is an amazing message.
• 26:44 It sounds doom and gloom, but it's not, it's the hope of
• 26:47 repentance can change everything, everything.
• 26:50 Make that U-turn, flip your behavior around, and go towards
• 26:54 the right thing.
• 26:55 David Hart: Thank you for your message and this whole series.
• 26:57 We'll be right back.
• 27:00 Joshua: In a world where sin runs rampant and idolatry is
• 27:03 your afternoon cup of tea, only one man has the courage to stand
• 27:08 up and blow it all to smithereens.

• 27:14 handsome, supernaturally muscular physique of a 20 year
