Caption transcript for Daniel and the Last Days’ Battle for Planet Earth: “The Battle Plan” (6/8)

• 00:42 ANGER IN GAZA.
• 00:44 WAR IN LEBANON.
• 00:47 RUMBLINGS IN IRAN.
• 00:49 AS THE WORLD FOCUSES ON THE MIDEAST QUAGMIRE
• 00:52 ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES PRESENTS,
• 01:02 A HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU.
• 01:04 JEFFREY SEIF HERE
• 01:06 WITH MY FRIEND SANDRA LEVITT.
• 01:08 SHALOM.
• 01:09 WELCOME TO THE END TIMES PROPHECY OF DANIEL,
• 01:11 THE PROPHETIC VISION THAT DANIEL HAD 2000 YEARS AGO.
• 01:15 JEFF, WE SAY "SHALOM" EVERY WEEK TO EVERYONE.
• 01:18 "SHALOM" IN HEBREW "PEACE".
• 01:20 BUT I'M NOT SEEING A WHOLE LOT OF PEACE IN HERE.
• 01:22 THERE'S A LOT' OF WAR IN DANIEL.
• 01:24 A LOT OF WAR IN DANIEL.
• 01:25 WHY DO WE CARE ABOUT DANIEL?
• 01:27 WHY DO WE STUDY DANIEL?
• 01:28 WELL, WHY DO JEWS ALWAYS SAY "SHALOM" AND "PEACE"
• 01:31 WHEN WE EXPERIENCE SO MUCH PERSECUTION?
• 01:32 I DON'T KNOW JEFF.
• 01:34 SEEMS TO ME THAT FAITH KEEPS US OPTIMISTIC
• 01:37 LOOKING TO A BETTER DAY
• 01:38 WISHING EACH OTHER PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP. >>PEACE.
• 01:40 WHEN WILL THERE BE PEACE?
• 01:42 WELL, NOT UNTIL THERE'S WAR.
• 01:44 WE LEARN THAT LESSON IN DANIEL.
• 01:45 THERE'S A BAD MOON RISING.
• 01:47 THE TRIBULATION PERIOD EMERGES.
• 01:51 I BELIEVE THE BELIEVERS ARE SPIRITED AWAY FROM THAT WORLD.
• 01:54 BUT THEN THE ANTI-CHRIST.
• 01:56 THE DOG HAS HIS DAY
• 01:57 THAT LAST WEEK OF THE 70 WEEKS. >>RIGHT.
• 02:01 THE WORST TIME OF THE WORST TIME.
• 02:02 RIGHT, WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT THOSE WEEKS TODAY.
• 02:04 WE'RE GONNA HAVE A PEEK AT THE WEEK.
• 02:05 PEEK AT THE WEEKS.
• 02:06 AND WE'RE NOT GONNA LIKE WHAT WE SEE AT ONE LEVEL.
• 02:09 THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT COME TO FAITH DURING THAT SEASON
• 02:11 AND THEY TAKE A BLUDGEONING.
• 02:12 THEY'RE BEATEN UP BY THIS NEFARIOUS WORLD RULER.
• 02:16 WE'LL LOOK AT THIS AND MORE AS WE CONSIDER THE TRIBULATION PERIOD IN THIS TREATMENT OF
• 02:21 DANIEL AND THE LAST DAYS' BATTLE FOR PLANET EARTH.
• 02:36 WITH EVIL FORCES ABOUNDING UNABATED
• 02:40 TRUE BELIEVERS WILL EXPERIENCE PERSECUTION AS NEVER BEFORE.
• 03:00 COULD THIS ROAD LEAD ME TO THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE WORLD'S MOST WICKED LEADER
• 03:05 THE DEVIL, INCARNATE?
• 03:08 THIS I WONDER AS I MADE MY WAY THAT DAY IN JERUSALEM.
• 03:19 THEY CALL THIS HILL
• 03:20 "Har ha"etsah hara'ah"
• 03:23 THE HILL OF EVIL COUNSEL.
• 03:25 IT'S NO COINCIDENCE THAT HERE IS THE UNITED NATIONS HEADQUARTERS IN JERUSALEM
• 03:33 FROM WHICH THE UNITED NATIONS
• 03:35 ATTENDS TO ITS BUSINESS.
• 03:38 ONE OF THE THINGS THE BIBLE BELIEVERS HAVE COME TO TERMS WITH IS THE FACT
• 03:41 THAT THE BUSINESS THAT'S ATTENDED TO AT DAYS' END IS NOT PARTICULARLY HAPPY BUSINESS
• 03:48 AS THE UNITED NATIONS,
• 03:49 REFERRED TO AS
• 03:51 "THE UNITED NOTHING"
• 03:52 IN SOME CIRCLES THAT EMPLOYS WHAT'S REFERRED TO ELSEWHERE AS
• 03:55 THE "WEAPONS OF MASS DISCUSSION".
• 03:59 THE ARGUMENT IS THAT FROM HERE THE BUSINESS OF THE DAY GOES BAD
• 04:03 IN A WORLD WHERE BELIEVERS ARE SORELY OPPRESSED.
• 04:07 DANIEL GAVE VOICE TO THIS TRIBULATION PERIOD IN DIFFERENT WAYS,
• 04:12 PERHAPS THE MOST FAMOUS OF WHICH IS IN THE 9TH CHAPTER IN THE 24TH VERSE,
• 04:19 DANIEL PREDICTS
• 04:21 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 04:31 ELSEWHERE AS YOU'LL SEE 70 WEEKS OF YEARS.
• 04:34 DANIEL SAW A PERIOD OF TIME THAT RAN OUT 70 WEEKS OF YEARS OR 490 YEARS TOTAL.
• 04:41 AN INTERESTING PROPHECY UNFOLDS HERE.
• 04:45 IF YOU'LL LOOK IN VERSE 25 OF THE 9TH CHAPTER DANIEL SAYS,
• 05:06 AFTER WHICH IN VERSE 26 HE SAYS,
• 05:08 AND I QUOTE,
• 05:10 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 05:18 THERE'S AN INTERESTING STORY HERE.
• 05:20 I'VE HEARD THE BIBLE REFERRED TO AS "THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD".
• 05:24 WELL THIS VERSE COULD BE REFERRED TO AS "THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD"
• 05:29 FOR HEREIN PREDICTED IS THAT FROM THE GOING FORTH OF THE WORD TO RESTORE AND REBUILD JERUSALEM
• 05:37 UNTIL AN ANOINTED ONE IS CUT OFF, THERE WILL BE 69 WEEKS, WEEKS OF YEARS.
• 05:44 AND THE REASON WHY THAT'S INTERESTING IS BECAUSE
• 05:47 ARTAXERXES DECREED ON MARCH 14TH445 B.C.,
• 05:53 YOU READ THIS STORY IN
• 05:55 NEHEMIAH CHAPTER 1 AND 2,
• 05:57 HE DECREED JERUSALEM SHOULD BE REBUILT.
• 05:59 AND IF YOU ADD THE WEEKS OF YEARS,
• 06:02 IF YOU LOOK AT 69 YEARS, 7 WEEKS OF YEARS AND 62 WEEKS OF YEARS
• 06:09 AND YOU ADD TO THAT,
• 06:10 YOU MULTIPLY THAT BY THE BIBLICAL YEAR WHICH IS 360 DAYS,
• 06:15 WHAT WE'RE TOLD IS THAT THE MESSIAH IS GOING TO BE CUT OFF
• 06:19 AT A VERY PARTICULAR POINT IN TIME.
• 06:21 IT TAKES YOU TO APRIL, THE YEAR 32 A.D.
• 06:25 IT COULD BE SAID THAT THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD IS THE FACT THAT THE PROPHET DANIEL
• 06:31 PREDICTED THAT FROM THE TIME WHEN THERE WOULD BE A DECREE TO REBUILD JERUSALEM
• 06:37 IT WOULD EXTEND OUT TO A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME
• 06:40 THAT WOULD CULMINATE FINALLY AND FULLY IN THE CUTTING OFF OF AN ANOINTED ONE.
• 06:46 I GOT MY START IN MINISTRY WITH AN ORGANIZATION CALLED
• 06:49 "THE AMERICAN BOARD OF MISSIONS TO THE JEWS".
• 06:53 ZOLA, IN FACT, CUT HIS TEETH IN MINISTRY FROM THE SAME ORGANIZATION.
• 06:56 THIS MINISTRY WAS FOUNDED BY A RABBI, LEOPOLD COHEN,
• 07:00 WHO WAS STRUCK, HE READ DANIEL AND HE SAID,
• 07:03 "IT LOOKS TO ME THAT WHEN WE CALCULATE,"
• 07:05 "THERE'S SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT HAPPENING IN THE 30'S."
• 07:08 HE WAS INTERESTED IN THAT STORY AND WANTED TO TALK TO HIS JEWISH FRIENDS,
• 07:11 NO ONE WOULD GIVE HIM AN EAR .
• 07:12 HE WANDERS INTO A CHURCH IN NEW YORK CITY WHERE THEY HAVE ON THE BILLBOARD
• 07:16 THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE PREACHING FROM THE BOOK OF DANIEL.
• 07:18 AND LO AND BEHOLD RABBI COHEN BECAME A FOLLOWER OF YESHUA, OF JESUS.
• 07:22 WELL, WHEN YOU READ THIS STORY WHEN IT GOES ON IT'S RATHER TRAGIC.
• 07:26 THIS MESSIAH'S GOING TO BE CUT OFF IN APRIL, THE YEAR IS 32.
• 07:31 AND WE SEE THE FINAL 7 YEAR SWATCH OF HISTORY HERE FROM THIS PERSONALITY,
• 07:38 THIS EVIL PERSON WHO CUTS OFF THE MESSIAH, WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR IT, THIS WICKED PERSONALITY.
• 07:45 WE'RE TOLD IN VERSE 27,
• 07:57 IT'S THIS FINAL 7 YEAR PERIOD IN THE BIBLICAL TIME TABLE
• 08:02 THAT GIVES THEOLOGIANS THE VISION OF A 7 YEAR TRIBULATION PERIOD IN THE HALF OF WHICH
• 08:09 FINALLY THIS ANTI-MESSIAH CAUSES OFFERINGS AND SACRIFICES TO BE CUT OFF.
• 08:16 AND NOT ONLY THAT HE CLAIMS THAT HE'S GOD.
• 08:18 WE'RE TOLD HERE THAT HE WILL
• 08:20 CAUSE SACRIFICE TO CEASE
• 08:21 AND HE WILL BRING IN THIS
• 08:23 DESOLATING SACRILEGE.
• 08:26 WE'RE TOLD AS WELL
• 08:27 THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE GREAT WARFARE AND WHAT HAVE YOU IN THE 10TH CHAPTER.
• 08:31 WHAT HAPPENS IS THIS ANTI-MESSIAH MAKES HIS
• 08:34 ENTRANCE ONTO THE STAGE OF THE HUMAN DRAMA,
• 08:36 HE WILL THROUGH FLATTERY SEDUCE A POPULATION WORKING THROUGH THE UNITED NATIONS ARGUABLY,
• 08:43 GIVING LEGITIMACY TO HIS DASTARDLY DEEDS.
• 08:46 AND WHAT DOES HE DO? HE STARTS OFF SOUNDING WELL AS A MAN OF PEACE,
• 08:49 BUT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL THERE'S A TEMPLE THAT'S REBUILT IN JERUSALEM,
• 08:53 HE'S GOING TO GO IN THERE, PROCLAIM THAT HE'S GOD
• 08:55 AND JEWS OF COURSE ARE GOING TO REBEL AGAINST THAT.
• 08:58 THOSE THAT COME TO FAITH WON'T HAVE ANY MIND FOR THAT SORT OF BUSINESS.
• 09:01 AND THEN THE ANTI-CHRIST WILL BRING HIS FORCE TO BEAR
• 09:04 TO TRY AND SQUELCH THE MOVEMENT OF GOD FEARERS
• 09:07 THAT WERE NOT MINDED TO BUY INTO HIS VISION OF A WORLD WHERE HE'S GOD INCARNATE.
• 09:12 MORE TO COME.
• 09:29 COMING TO YOU FROM THE NEWS ROOM
• 09:31 OF [WWW.LEVITT.COM]
• 09:35 WHERE WE WILL BE LOOKING AT THE WORLD'S NEWS ON THE ONE HAND
• 09:38 AND LOOKING AT THE WORD OF GOD ON THE OTHER
• 09:41 AND PUT THE TWO TOGETHER AND GIVE YOU COMMENTARY
• 09:43 ON A WEEKLY BASIS IF NOT A DAILY BASIS
• 09:47 WHEN THERE'S BREAKING PROPHETIC NEWS IN THE MIDDLE EAST
• 09:50 I HOPE YOU WILL MAKE A HABIT OF REFERRING TO [WWW.LEVITT.COM]
• 09:57 AND LET US CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR UNDERSTANDING
• 09:59 OF THE WORLD WE LIVE IN.
• 10:09 OH, IT'S WONDERFUL TO BE HERE IN THE JORDAN RIVER.
• 10:12 SANDRA LEVITT AND I WANT TO INVITE YOU TO JOIN US FOR A TRIP.
• 10:15 BUS LOAD OF PILGRIMS ARE HERE AND 6 PASTORS CAME WITH US
• 10:19 THAT ARE BEHIND US HERE BAPTIZING INDIVIDUALS.
• 10:25 WHY NOT YOU SOMETIME?
• 10:26 JOIN SANDRA LEVITT AND I FOR THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME HERE IN ISRAEL
• 10:30 AND BE BAPTIZED IN THE JORDAN RIVER.
• 10:43 ON ZOLA'S WATCH HE ALSO CLOSED THE PROGRAM SAYING, SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM,
• 10:49 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
• 10:51 SANDRA DOES THAT AS WELL.
• 10:53 LET ME HERE SAY THAT IN CONJUNCTION WITH PRAYING FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM,
• 10:57 WE CAN BE "PAYING" FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
• 11:00 AND HOW IS THAT JEFFREY?
• 11:01 WELL, WE CAN GO THERE.
• 11:03 WHEN WE VISIT THE HOLY LAND
• 11:05 WE SUPPORT ISRAELI AIR CARRIERS,
• 11:07 HOTELS, RESTAURANTS AND SHOPS.
• 11:10 IT'S A GREAT WAY TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY.
• 11:12 I WANT YOU TO GO TO ISRAEL AND I'D LOVE FOR YOU TO GO THERE WITH US.
• 11:18 GREAT PLACE TO BE ISN'T IT SANDRA?
• 11:19 IT'S MY GREATEST JOY TO SHOW PEOPLE ISRAEL.
• 11:22 I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I GET TO SEE PEOPLE GET EXCITED ABOUT THE LORD
• 11:27 AND IN THEIR HOME.
• 11:28 WE'RE GOING TO LIVE IN ISRAEL.
• 11:30 WHEN ALL THIS PROPHECY IS ALL OVER
• 11:32 THIS IS GOING TO BE OUR HOME.
• 11:34 THERE WILL BE A NEW WORLD
• 11:35 AND A BETTER WORLD RISING
• 11:37 HEADQUARTERED IN JERUSALEM.
• 11:38 ABSOLUTELY, IT SAYS,
• 11:39 "A NEW HEAVEN, NEW EARTH AND A NEW JERUSALEM"
• 11:41 NOT A "NEW DALLAS, TEXAS".
• 11:43 THIS IS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE.
• 11:45 ZOLA IN THE EARLY, EARLY 80'S DID A TEACHING ON DANIEL'S 70 WEEKS.
• 11:49 IT'S A WONDERFUL TEACHING.
• 11:51 HE'S IN ISRAEL. YOU'LL SEE HIM BY THE WESTERN WALL IN TRADITIONAL LOOKING ROBES
• 11:56 AND HIS TEACHING IS ALWAYS JUST TERRIFIC.
• 12:00 I KNOW YOU'LL ENJOY THIS.
• 12:03 THE ANGEL SAID THIS,
• 12:04 "70 WEEKS ARE DETERMINED UPON THY PEOPLE AND UPON THY HOLY CITY
• 12:09 TO FINISH THE TRANSGRESSION, TO MAKE AN END OF SINS, TO MAKE RECONCILIATION FOR INIQUITY,
• 12:15 TO BRING AN EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TO SEAL UP THE VISION AND PROPHECY
• 12:20 AND TO ANOINT THE MOST HOLY.
• 12:23 NOW, WHAT THE ANGEL IS SAYING IS HARD TO BELIEVE.
• 12:25 IN 70 WEEKS, A LITTLE OVER A YEAR, ALL THE SINS ARE TO BE FINISHED,
• 12:30 ALL THE INIQUITY TAKEN CARE OF, RECONCILIATION WITH GOD. MESSIAH WILL COME AND BE CROWNED.
• 12:35 NOW, THE ANGEL REALLY DIDN'T MEAN 70 WEEKS.
• 12:38 THERE WERE SIGN POSTS ALONG THE WAY IN THE PROPHECY THAT SHOW US THAT EACH OF THE WEEKS
• 12:43 WAS A SET, NOT OF 7 DAYS,
• 12:45 BUT 7 SEVEN YEARS,
• 12:47 70 WEEKS OF YEARS.
• 12:49 AND THERE WAS SUCH A DECREE.
• 12:51 IT'S TIMED FROM A DECREE TO REBUILD JERUSALEM AND THAT'S IN THE NEXT VERSE,
• 12:56 DANIEL CHAPTER 9, VERSE 25.
• 12:58 "KNOW THEREFORE AND UNDERSTAND"
• 13:00 "THAT FROM THE GOING FORTH OF THE COMMANDMENT TO RESTORE AND BUILD JERUSALEM"
• 13:05 "UNTO THE MESSIAH THE PRINCE SHALL BE 7 WEEKS AND THREESCORE AND TWO WEEKS."
• 13:11 THE ANGEL SAID AS SIGN POSTS,
• 13:15 AMONG THESE 70 WEEKS THERE WILL BE 7 WEEKS,
• 13:18 THEN THREESCORE AND TWO, 62 MORE.
• 13:21 JERUSALEM IS TO BE REBUILT IN THE FIRST 7,
• 13:24 THEN AFTER THE 62 MORE MESSIAH WOULD COME, "UNTIL MESSIAH THE PRINCE".
• 13:29 AND THAT WOULD BE 69 WEEKS AND WE STILL HAVE 1 MORE WEEK.
• 13:33 BUT TO SEE HISTORICALLY WHAT HAPPENED, IT'S VERY CLEAR.
• 13:37 IN 445 B.C., ABOUT A CENTURY AFTER THIS PROPHECY,
• 13:41 KING ARTAXERXES OF PERSIA WAS INTERVIEWING HIS SERVANT NEHEMIAH, AN ISRAELITE.
• 13:47 AND NEHEMIAH SAID HE WAS DEPRESSED BECAUSE THE HOLY CITY LAY IN RUINS.
• 13:51 THE TEMPLE HAD BEEN STARTED BUT THE WALLS WERE DOWN
• 13:54 AND JERUSALEM COULDN'T BE PROTECTED AND THE KING SAID, "YOU CAN GO AND BUILD IT".
• 13:58 HERE IS A KINDLY CONQUEROR. HE SENT THE ISRAELITES BACK, HE SENT NEHEMIAH BACK
• 14:03 AND NEHEMIAH BUILT A WONDERFUL WALL IN THE CITY OF DAVID.
• 14:07 HE BUILT IT SO GOOD THAT IT'S STILL HERE TO THIS DAY AND IT CAN BE SEEN.
• 14:11 AND HE REBUILT JERUSALEM. NOW, THE PEOPLE THAT WERE WATCHING THE PROPHECY SAID,
• 14:15 "WELL THAT'S 49 YEARS" BECAUSE IT WAS FINISHED IN 396 B.C.,
• 14:19 445 B.C. TO 396 B.C. WAS 49 YEARS.
• 14:23 AND THEY SAID THAT'S THE 7 WEEKS,
• 14:25 THE 7 SETS OF 7 YEARS, 49.
• 14:28 AND THEY SAID 62 MORE WEEKS AND MESSIAH WILL COME.
• 14:31 AND INDEED IF YOU TAKE THE TOTAL IT TAKES YOU TO ABOUT 30 A.D. OR 32 A.D.,
• 14:39 RIGHT IN THE TIME THAT MESSIAH CAME DOWN THE MOUNT OF OLIVES,
• 14:42 JUST BEHIND ME, RODE THE DONKEY INTO JERUSALEM.
• 14:45 AND THEY SAID OF HIM, "Baruch Haba"
• 14:48 "BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD".
• 14:51 JUST AS ZECHARIAH HAD PROPHESIED IN ZECHARIAH CHAPTER 9, VERSE 9,
• 14:55 "BEHOLD THY KING COMETH UNTO THEE, LOWLY AND JUST AND HAVING SALVATION",
• 14:59 ON AN ASS, EVEN THE FOAL OF AN ASS, SO JESUS RODE THE DONKEY INTO JERUSALEM
• 15:04 AND THE PEOPLE REMEMBERED THAT PROPHESY
• 15:06 AND THEY REMEMBERED THIS PROPHECY ON THAT GREAT PALM SUNDAY.
• 15:09 PROBABLY PEOPLE IN JERUSALEM REALLY WERE COUNTING THOSE WEEKS
• 15:13 AND SOME OF THEM CAME TO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES
• 15:15 BECAUSE THE TIME WAS RIGHT. NOT BECAUSE HE WALKED ON WATER OR HEALED THE SICK,
• 15:19 BUT BECAUSE HE WAS ON TIME.
• 15:21 NOW IT SAYS MESSIAH WOULD BE CUT OFF AND THE TEMPLE WOULD BE DESTROYED.
• 15:24 THIS IS ONE OF THE PROPHECIES THAT DISCLOSES THAT MESSIAH WILL DIE. IT GOES ON,
• 15:30 "AND AFTER TROUBLOUS TIMES THE JERUSALEM WILL BE REBUILT."
• 15:35 "AND AFTER THE THREE SCORE AND TWO WEEKS SHALL MESSIAH BE CUT OFF, BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF."
• 15:40 MESSIAH WILL DIE, BUT FOR HIS PEOPLE.
• 15:43 "AND THE PEOPLE OF THE PRINCE THAT SHALL COME SHALL DESTROY THE CITY AND THE SANCTUARY."
• 15:49 THE PRINCE THAT SHALL COME IN THE OLD TESTAMENT IS THE ANTI-CHRIST.
• 15:53 HE IS THE ONE WHO WILL COME IN THE END TIMES.
• 15:56 NOW, HE COMES OUT OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
• 15:59 REMEMBER WE LEARNED IT IN DANIEL'S DREAM WITH NEBUCHADNEZZAR
• 16:03 THAT HE ANALYZED THAT ROME AT THE END WOULD BE THESE 10 CLAY TOES.
• 16:07 WELL, OUT OF THIS 10 NATION CONFEDERACY OF EUROPE WILL COME THIS PRINCE,
• 16:11 THIS DARK PRINCE, THIS EVIL PRINCE.
• 16:13 AND HIS PEOPLE, THE ROMANS, THE ORIGINAL ROMANS, THE PART OF THE STATUE THAT WAS IRON,
• 16:19 THEY DESTROYED THIS CITY AND THIS SANCTUARY IN 70 A.D.
• 16:23 SO THAT PART WAS FULFILLED. SO WE HAD THE REBUILDING AFTER THE 7 WEEKS,
• 16:28 WE HAD THE MESSIAH AFTER THE 69 WEEKS AND THAT STOPPED THE CLOCK.
• 16:32 THE CLOCK STOPPED.
• 16:34 THE PEOPLE OF THE PRINCE CAME AND DESTROYED THE CITY AND THE SANCTUARY
• 16:36 AND THE CLOCK REMAINED STOPPED THROUGH A LONG AGE
• 16:40 WHICH IS ALREADY BEEN 19OO YEARS WHILE GOD WENT AROUND TO CALL OUT MORE CHOSEN PEOPLE.
• 16:46 OUT OF THE GOYIM, OUT OF THE NATION SINCE,
• 16:48 STILL OUT OF ISRAEL HE CALLS PEOPLE IN ORDER TO BRING IN THAT 70TH WEEK.
• 16:54 I REMEMBER WAY BACK IN GRADUATE SCHOOL STUDYING PASTORAL COUNSELING
• 16:58 AND CONSIDERING WHAT WAS REFERRED TO AS "PSYCHO SOCIAL STRESSORS",
• 17:02 THAT IS THE DIFFERENT LIFE PRESSURES BROUGHT TO BEAR
• 17:04 THAT IMPINGE UPON INDIVIDUALS' ABILITY TO HAVE HAPPINESS.
• 17:08 TRUTH BE KNOWN, WE'RE IN A WORLD HERE WHERE THE
• 17:11 PSYCHO SOCIAL STRESSORS ARE UP,
• 17:13 PEOPLE ARE UNDER AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF PAIN AND PRESSURE
• 17:16 DURING THE TRIBULATION PERIOD.
• 17:18 AREN'T THEY?
• 17:18 THEY REALLY ARE.
• 17:20 AND IT'S NEW BELIEVERS TOO.
• 17:22 THE REAL BELIEVERS ARE GONE.
• 17:24 THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN TAKEN AWAY.
• 17:26 NOW THESE ARE NEW BELIEVERS
• 17:27 WHO ARE TRYING TO GET THEIR FEET GOING DURING A TRIBULATION PERIOD.
• 17:30 THEY'RE SWEPT UP IN A WORLD GONE BAD.
• 17:33 AND IT ONLY GETS WORSE. RIGHT.
• 17:35 AND THANK GOODNESS ITS ONLY SEVEN YEARS.
• 17:36 YEAH, AND THANK GOD
• 17:38 FOR GOD WHO ENABLES US TO GET OUR EQUILIBRIUM
• 17:41 AMIDST THE TURBULENCE OF TRYING TIMES.
• 17:43 AND TO TRYING TIMES WE WILL ATTEND AS WE CONTINUE
• 17:47 TO PROBE MORE DEEPLY AS WE LOOK AT THE TRIBULATION PERIOD
• 17:50 THROUGH THE EYES OF DANIEL IN THE LAST DAY'S BATTLE FOR PLANET EARTH.
• 18:12 I BELIEVE IT WAS IN DANTE'S INFERNO WHERE OVER THE GATES OF HELL IT READ,
• 18:15 "ABANDON HOPE ALL YE WHO ENTER HERE".
• 18:23 STANDING IN JERUSALEM
• 18:24 ON THE DRIVE HERE THAT GOES UP
• 18:26 TO THE UNITED NATIONS,
• 18:28 ACROSS FROM ME TO MY RIGHT I CAN SEE THROUGH THE TREES.
• 18:31 YOU CAN'T SEE IT,
• 18:32 THE DOME OF THE ROCK,
• 18:33 AS THIS SITE OVERLOOKS
• 18:35 THE OLD CITY OF JERUSALEM.
• 18:37 AND HERE ON THIS HILL WHERE THE U.N. IS HEADQUARTERED,
• 18:41 THIS IS A PLACE OF MANY FOR HOPE
• 18:44 WITH THE BELIEF THAT THE UNITED NATIONS CAN BRING RESOLUTION TO GLOBAL TENSIONS.
• 18:49 IT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA I GRANT,
• 18:52 IF EVERYONE WHO COMES TO THE TABLE TO BARGAIN GOMES IN GOOD FAITH,
• 18:56 I SUPPOSE THAT SIMPLY GETTING TOGETHER AND TALKING IS A WAY TO BRING RESOLUTION.
• 19:01 BUT YOU KNOW, SOME IDEAS LOOK BETTER ON PAPER THAN THEY PERFORM IN THE REAL WORLD.
• 19:07 ISLAM HAS A FOOT HOLD IN THE UNITED NATIONS WITH SOME 50 NATIONS UNDER ITS SWAY
• 19:13 REPRESENTING NOW SOME 1 BILLION PEOPLE.
• 19:17 NEVER MIND LARGE SECTORS OF THE WORLD'S OIL SUPPLY,
• 19:21 THEY CAN EXACT INFLUENCE IN THE UNITED NATIONS RENDERING IT SIMPLY JUST A PUPPET OF POWERS
• 19:27 THAT ARE BIGGER THAN THE IDEALS THAT WERE USED TO FORGE THE UNITED NATIONS ITSELF.
• 19:34 DANIEL ENVISIONS A WORLD AT DAYS' END
• 19:37 WHERE THE WORLD COMES UNDER THE SWAY OF AND ANTI-MESSIAH.
• 19:41 MAYBE JOHN LENNON AND COMPANY COULD SAY, "ALL WE ARE SAYING IS GIVE PEACE A CHANCE"
• 19:45 AND THIS IN ITS OWN WAY COULD BE THE UNITED NATIONS MANTRA
• 19:49 BUT THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT A DECEITFUL PRINCE OF PEACE WHO EMERGES AT THE END OF DAYS
• 19:55 WHO GETS SWAY OVER THIS ENTERPRISE HERE AS WELL AS THE WORLD AT LARGE.
• 20:00 AND WHAT DOES HE DO?
• 20:02 WELL, HE COMES INTO HIS OWN INTO A WORLD WHERE HE IS PERCEIVED AS THE GREAT DIPLOMAT.
• 20:10 AND NOT JUST A GREAT DIPLOMAT, BUT A RELIGIOUS LEADER AS WELL.
• 20:13 AND HE WINDS UP GARNERING MORE AND MORE RELIGIOUS POWER TO THE END THAT
• 20:18 IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS DAY IN THE 7 YEAR PERIOD HE CLAIMS THAT HE'S GOD.
• 20:23 WE'RE TOLD IN CHAPTER 11, VERSE 36 BY DANIEL,
• 20:30 AND ILL IS HIS WILL.
• 20:33 WE'RE TOLD THAT HE EXALTS HIMSELF AND MAGNIFIES HIMSELF ABOVE EVERY GOD,
• 20:38 ABOVE EVERY SO CALLED OBJECT OF WORSHIP
• 20:41 SO MUCH SO THAT HE IN EFFECT PROCLAIMS HIMSELF THAT HE IS GOD.
• 20:45 YOU MIGHT RECALL THE MORNING OF AN ORTHODOX JEWISH RABBI,
• 20:50 SHAUL, PAUL WHO CAME TO FAITH 2 MILLENNIA AGO WHO WROTE A LETTER TO THE THESSALONIANS
• 20:56 AND SAID AS MUCH THAT
• 20:58 THE ANTI-CHRIST IS RESTRAINED,
• 21:02 SAYS PAUL THEREIN, IN THE 2ND CHAPTER
• 21:04 BUT WHEN THE RESTRAINING FORCE, WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT IS TAKEN OUT OF THE WAY
• 21:08 THEN THIS PERSONALITY WILL EMERGE AND EXALT HIMSELF ABOVE EVERY GOD AND OBJECT OF WORSHIP
• 21:14 AND SIT IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD AND PROCLAIM THAT HE IS GOD.
• 21:19 PAUL SAID THAT THIS PERSONALITY WAS RESTRAINED IN HIS DAY 2 MILLENNIA AGO.
• 21:24 HERE DANIEL WAS TALKING ABOUT THIS PERSONALITY WHEN HE BECOMES UNRESTRAINED
• 21:29 AND HE VENTS HIS FURY DURING THE TRIBULATION PERIOD.
• 21:32 AND HE VENTS HIS FURY ON WHOM?
• 21:37 WELL, THOUGH THOSE WHO DO HIS BIDDING ENJOY HIS FAVORS
• 21:40 BUT THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE NOT MINDED TO GO THAT DIRECTION PARTICULARLY.
• 21:45 THE MANTRA IN THE JEWISH WORLD IS
• 21:48 "Sh'ma Israel, Adonai Elohainu, Adonai Ehad",
• 21:56 THIS PERSONALITY IS NOT GOING TO MAKE ANY FRIENDS AMONGST THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 21:59 WHEN HE SETS HIMSELF UP IN THE REBUILT TEMPLE OF GOD AND PROCLAIMS THAT HE IS GOD.
• 22:04 JEWISH PEOPLE WILL SAY "NO".
• 22:06 WE'RE TOLD IN REVELATIONS THAT
• 22:08 THIS PERSONALITY WILL WANT TO
• 22:10 HAVE A SIGN AFFIXED
• 22:12 TO THE ARMS AND FOREHEADS OF INDIVIDUALS IN ORDER THAT THEY CAN TRANSACT IN HIS REALM.
• 22:18 DO YOU THINK FOR A MOMENT JEWS THAT HAVE THE MEMORY OF THE HOLOCAUST IN OUR MINDS
• 22:22 AND IN OUR HEARTS WILL NOT TAKE KINDLY TO THE EMBLAZING OF ANY SYMBOLS ON OUR ARMS
• 22:27 AS THIS HARKENS BACK TO THE DAY WHEN THE NAZI'S
• 22:31 IMPOSED THE SAME SUCH FIGURE ON THE SKIN OF JEWISH PEOPLE?
• 22:36 WHEN AN ANTI-MESSIAH COMES AND LOOKS TO IMPOSE SUCH THINGS,
• 22:40 WHEN HE NOT ONLY DOES THIS, PROCLAIMS THAT HE'S GOD,
• 22:43 JEWS WILL EMPHATICALLY IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS SAY "NO" AND THE BATTLE WILL BE ON.
• 22:49 WHILE HE MAY WELL HAVE SEDUCED WITH FLATTERY, JEWISH PEOPLE,
• 22:53 THIS WILL COME TO AN END AS HE SHOWS HIS COLORS
• 22:56 AND AS THERE'S A PUSHING AWAY FROM HIM
• 22:59 AS THAT HE FORMED A COALITION, THAT COALITION WILL BREAK UP AT DAYS' END.
• 23:04 WE'RE TOLD HERE THAT THIS PERSONALITY IS SO EMBOLDEN IN VERSE 37,
• 23:18 HE ONLY HAS REGARDS FOR THE GOD OF WAR, AND WAR IT IS.
• 23:20 THIS HARKS BACK ARGUABLY
• 23:22 TO THE GREEKS WHO WORSHIPED
• 23:23 MARS, THE god OF WARFARE.
• 23:25 THIS HARKS BACK AS WELL
• 23:26 TO A SEASON, TO A WORLD WHERE
• 23:28 ANTIOCHUS EPIPHANES IN HIS DAY IN THE INTERTESTAMENTAL PERIOD
• 23:32 SET HIMSELF UP IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD
• 23:35 AND PROCLAIMED THAT HE IS GOD
• 23:37 AND DECLARED WAR AGAINST THE JEWS.
• 23:39 WELL, WAR IS THE ORDER OF THE DAY IN THIS DAY
• 23:41 AS DURING THE TRIBULATION PERIOD THIS ANTI-MESSIAH GATHERS HIS FORCES,
• 23:45 HE VENTS HIS FURY ON JEWS AND OTHERS
• 23:49 AND THERE'S THIS GREAT BATTLE THAT CULMINATES FINALLY
• 23:52 IN THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON THAT BRINGS THE TRIBULATION PERIOD TO A CLOSE
• 23:55 IN THE WAKE OF WHICH THEN OPENS UP A NEW ERA IN BIBLICAL HISTORY,
• 24:00 A STORY THAT WE WILL ATTEND TO LATER.
• 24:04 (ZOLA PLAYING THE RECORDER)
• 24:20 (ORCHESTRA PLAYING)
• 25:10 THAT WAS ZOLA'S MUSIC.
• 25:12 HE WROTE MANY, MANY WONDERFUL ALBUMS OF ISRAELI INSPIRED MUSIC.HE LOVED ISRAEL.
• 25:17 HE WAS REALLY A MAN OF GOD.
• 25:19 YOU GET THE LORD IN YOUR LIFE.
• 25:21 YOU GET THE BIBLE IN YOUR MIND AND STIR IT ALL UP
• 25:23 AND A LOT OF GREAT THINGS COME OUT.
• 25:25 LOOK AT DANIEL, MY GOODNESS. WHAT WISDOM HE WAS GIVEN.
• 25:27 WHAT VISION!
• 25:29 ZOLA LOOKED AT DANIEL AND THIS CONTRIBUTED TO
• 25:31 HIS WRITING ABOUT BIBLE PROPHECY.
• 25:33 HE WROTE A NUMBER OF BOOKS AS WELL.
• 25:35 HE LOVED THAT PROPHECY.
• 25:36 YOU LOOK AT DANIEL.
• 25:37 YOU SEE THE COMING OF MESSIAH AND ALL OF THIS.
• 25:39 YOU SEE THE LAST DAY'S BATTLE FOR EARTH,
• 25:42 THE TRIBULATION PERIOD,
• 25:43 THE ANTI-CHRIST.
• 25:44 IT IS SO RICH.
• 25:46 AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE ANCIENT WORD
• 25:47 AND YOU LOOK AT THE MODERN WORLD,
• 25:49 YOU CAN'T HELP BUT GO "WOW!"
• 25:51 WOW IT IS ISN'T IT?
• 25:53 IT IS AMAZING.
• 25:54 IT REALLY DOES LAY OUT EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED,
• 25:58 WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN,
• 25:59 AND WE WIN.
• 26:01 THAT'S THE BEST NEWS OF ALL.
• 26:03 I LOVE IN DANIEL, SOME PEOPLE HAVE SAID THAT THE ANTI-CHRIST WILL BE A JEW.
• 26:06 IT'S NOT WHAT THE HEBREW TEXT SAYS.
• 26:10 THIS IS WHAT THE ENGLISH SAYS,
• 26:17 THE HEBREW IS "gods" NOT GOD.
• 26:20 THERE IS A PLURAL THERE WHICH MEANS THE ANTI-CHRIST WILL WORSHIP "gods", NOT ONE GOD.
• 26:27 BUT THE JEWS WORSHIP THE ONE TRUE GOD.
• 26:30 YEAH, FOR US IT'S ALL ABOUT "Sh'ma Israel, Adonai Elohainu, Adonai Ehad",
• 26:35 "HEAR O ISRAEL, THE LORD OUR GOD, THE LORD IS ONE."
• 26:37 AMEN.AND AS YOU GO,
• 26:38 "SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM"
• 26:40 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
