Caption transcript for Daniel and the Last Days’ Battle for Planet Earth: “The Battle Royal,” Part 2 (8/8)

• 00:42 ANGER IN GAZA.
• 00:44 WAR IN LEBANON.
• 00:46 RUMBLINGS IN IRAN.
• 00:49 AS THE WORLD FOCUSES ON THE MIDEAST QUAGMIRE,
• 00:52 ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES PRESENTS,
• 01:02 JEFFREY SEIF HERE
• 01:03 WITH MY FRIEND SANDRA LEVITT
• 01:05 AND WHAT A PROGRAM WE HAVE.
• 01:07 THIS IS IT!
• 01:08 SHALOM.
• 01:10 WELCOME BACK TO THE VERY LAST PROGRAM OF DANIEL.
• 01:12 I'D LIKE TO READ,
• 01:23 "Baruch Haba HaShem Adonai" (HEBREW)
• 01:27 JEFF THANK YOU FOR TEACHING US DANIEL,
• 01:29 IT HAS BEEN REALLY EXCITING.
• 01:31 ISN'T IT EXCITING AS WELL... ...BY THE WAY THANK YOU,
• 01:33 ISN'T IT EXCITING AS WELL THAT
• 01:35 JESUS CONNECTS HIS COMING TO JEWISH PEOPLE SAYING,
• 01:39 "Baruch Haba HaShem Adonai".
• 01:41 IT LOOKS LIKE ISRAEL IS GLAD TO HIM.
• 01:44 I'M GLAD TO SEE HIM.
• 01:46 YES AND ISRAEL WILL BE PARTICULARLY PLEASED BECAUSE IF I UNDERSTAND DANIEL CORRECTLY,
• 01:52 ISRAEL IS IN THE THROWS OF A BATTLE ROYAL.
• 01:57 THE DEVIL HAS HIS DAY ON EARTH
• 02:00 AND THE WORLD IS IN HIS CLUTCHES.
• 02:02 DOESN'T LOOK GOOD AT ONE LEVEL DOES IT?
• 02:04 NO, BUT AT THE END WHAT HAPPENS?
• 02:06 HERE HE COMES OUT OF THE SKY,
• 02:08 SAVES THE DAY, AND THEY LOOK UP
• 02:11 AND THEY SEE HIM WHOM THEY'VE PIERCED
• 02:13 AND MOURN FOR HIM AS AN ONLY CHILD
• 02:16 AND KNOW THAT HE IS THE MESSIAH.
• 02:18 ISN'T IT GREAT?
• 02:19 IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I LOVE THIS SERIES.
• 02:22 AND WHY IS THAT?
• 02:23 THIS SERIES CULMINATES NOW WITH THE COMING OF JESUS.
• 02:27 GOOD NEWS FOR MODERN MAN AS HEAVEN OPENS ITS DOORS
• 02:31 AND VANQUISHES WICKEDNESS ON PLANET EARTH.
• 03:03 BRAVELY THEY FOUGHT ON.
• 03:05 EVEN AS THEY FEARED THAT THE DARKNESS WOULD LIKELY OVERTAKE THEM.
• 03:19 BUT THEN THEY REALIZED THEY WERE LIVING AT THE DAWNING OF A BRAND NEW DAY.
• 03:37 MADE FAMOUS AS THE ROOT OF JESUS FINAL ENTRANCE INTO JERUSALEM,
• 03:42 MAKING MY WAY DOWN THE MOUNT OF OLIVES,
• 03:45 I'M CONSIDERING HOW FOLLOWING THE LAST DAYS' WAR,
• 03:48 A NEW WORLD WILL BE INAUGURATED FROM THIS VERY PLACE.
• 03:55 THE WEATHER'S CALM THIS
• 03:56 FRIDAY AFTERNOON IN JERUSALEM
• 03:59 BUT THAT'S ABOUT ALL THAT'S CALM
• 04:01 AT ONE LEVEL.
• 04:02 BEHIND ME THE LOCAL MUSLIM COMMUNITY GATHERS
• 04:08 AND THE SERMON OF THE DAY IS BROADCAST HERE
• 04:11 RIGHT ACROSS THE TEMPLE MOUNT.
• 04:14 I'M NOT VERY GOOD AT ARABIC BUT AN INTERPRETER WAS EXPLAINING TO ME THE WORDS A MOMENT AGO.
• 04:20 THEREIN THE ISLAMIC LEADER IS TALKING ABOUT THE VATICAN
• 04:25 AND THE WEST BEING IN LEAGUE TOGETHER AGAINST THE MUSLIMS.
• 04:29 FROM HIS PODIUM THE MUSLIM LEADER WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW THE FRENCH, THE EUROPEANS GENERALLY,
• 04:38 ARE OPPRESSING AND PUSHING BACK THE MUSLIMS.
• 04:42 AND YES, HE'S TALKING ABOUT JIHAD HERE IN YERUSHALAYIM, JERUSALEM, THE CITY OF PEACE.
• 04:50 IT'S NOT JUST WHAT I'M HEARING BROADCAST ACROSS THE LOUD SPEAKERS,
• 04:55 IN TODAY'S "JERUSALEM POST" THE COVER STORY WAS
• 04:59 "THE WORLD TOO SLOW IN STANDING UP TO ISLAM."
• 05:06 THIS IS FOLLOWED THEN BY A CONCERN FROM "YAD VASHEM" THAT WAS POSTED
• 05:10 ABOUT HOW THE HOLOCAUST DENIAL IS PAVING THE WAY FOR GENOCIDE.
• 05:15 SO WHEN I LOOK IN THE NEWSPAPERS I HEAR STORIES THAT TROUBLE ME.
• 05:20 WHEN I STAND HERE IN JERUSALEM BEHIND ME I HEAR WORDS THAT TROUBLE ME.
• 05:25 AND ALL OF THIS REMINDS ME OF A STORY I READ IN BIBLICAL LITERATURE,
• 05:31 DANIEL CHAPTER 12, THE WRITER SPEAKING MANY CENTURIES BEFORE CHRIST SAID,
• 05:37 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 05:53 THEN HE GOES ON TO INFORM.
• 05:56 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 06:13 HEREIN THE AUTHOR INFORMS THAT THERE WILL BE A POINT IN HISTORY WHEN ISRAEL
• 06:19 WILL ABSORB TROUBLES OF A SORT THAT HAVE NEVER EXISTED SINCE THE BIRTH OF THE NATION.
• 06:26 AND LET ME SAY THAT CONCERNS ME. WHY?
• 06:28 BECAUSE ISRAEL AS A NATION STATE AND JEWS PERSONALLY
• 06:32 HAVE ALREADY ABSORBED A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TROUBLE.
• 06:38 BUT THE AUTHOR HERE IN THE BOOK DANIEL SAYS THAT THIS PALES IN COMPARISON TO WHAT'S COMING.
• 06:46 THIS IS GIVEN RISE IN EVANGELICAL CIRCLES TO A REFERENCE TO WHAT'S REFERRED TO
• 06:52 AS "THE TIME OF JACOB'S TROUBLE"
• 06:55 BUT WE REFER TO LIKEWISE AS
• 06:57 "THE TRIBULATION PERIOD".
• 06:59 THE WORD "TRIBULATION" IS A VERY INTERESTING WORD.
• 07:02 IT COMES FROM THE PITCHFORK THAT WAS USED IN ANCIENT ROMAN DAYS
• 07:06 WHERE A FARMER WOULD PUT HIS FORK INTO THE HAY AND THROW IT UP IN THE AIR,
• 07:10 THE WIND WOULD BLOW AND THE CHAFF WOULD BLOW AWAY AND THE WHEAT WOULD SETTLE.
• 07:15 THE PROCESS OF TRIBULATION THEN IS THE MECHANISM WHEREBY
• 07:19 THE WHEAT IS SEPARATED FROM THE CHAFF, THE SINCERE FROM THE INSINCERE.
• 07:25 AND ARGUABLY TROUBLE HAS A WAY OF MANIFESTING WHO'S WHO AND WHAT'S WHAT.
• 07:29 WELL, HERE WE'RE TOLD IN THE TEXT THAT THERE WILL BE A TIME OF GREAT TROUBLE.
• 07:35 HERE IN THE BEGINNING OF THE 12TH CHAPTER, THE END OF THE 11TH CHAPTER WE'RE TAUGHT
• 07:38 THAT THESE ANTI-MESSIAH WILL COME INTO THE REGION
• 07:42 AND SET HIS TENTS BETWEEN JERUSALEM AND THE SEAS.
• 07:46 WE'RE TOLD AS WELL OF THIS GREAT CONFLAGRATION IN THE MAKING, THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON.
• 07:51 AS YOU MIGHT RECALL FROM A PREVIOUS PROGRAM
• 07:54 WE LEARNED IN DANIEL THAT THIS ANTI-MESSIAH
• 07:57 HEARD WORD FROM THE EAST THAT WAS COMING,
• 07:59 ARGUABLY A MASSIVE ARMY.
• 08:02 JOHN SAYS IN REVELATION
• 08:04 HE NUMBERS IT 200 MILLION
• 08:07 IN THE BOOK IN THE 16TH CHAPTER
• 08:10 OF REVELATION AS WELL HE INFORMS
• 08:12 THAT THEY'RE DRIVEN BY DEMONS,
• 08:14 THERE'S SPIRITUAL NEWS
• 08:15 BEHIND THE NEWS,
• 08:17 IT'S NOT JUST POLITICAL.
• 08:19 WHAT DRIVES FORCES IN THE MIDDLE EAST, IT'S NOT JUST THIS PARTY AND THIS ELECTION
• 08:24 AND THIS SPEECH AND THIS WORD BUT THERE'S SPIRITS THAT ARE DRIVING THAT ARE CONTENDING.
• 08:30 AND HERE AS THIS IS REACHING A HIGH WATERMARK OF TENSION,
• 08:35 DANIEL TELLS US THAT MICHAEL WILL EMERGE.
• 08:38 WE ENCOUNTER MICHAEL ELSEWHERE IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL IN CHAPTER 10, VERSE 13 AND 21.
• 08:45 THEREIN DANIEL SAYS THAT MICHAEL IS PROACTIVE
• 08:48 HE'S CONTENDING AGAINST THE PERSIANS
• 08:50 HE'S INVOLVED IN CONTENDING WITH THE GREEKS,
• 08:53 THE ANTI-CHRIST BEING OF WESTERN EXTRACT
• 08:57 AND THEN THESE MIDDLE EASTERN PERSONALITIES FROM MY RECKONING
• 09:00 DRIVEN BY ISLAM THE KIND OF SPIRITS BEHIND THAT. THESE FORCES COME TOGETHER
• 09:05 AND THERE'S A GREAT CLASH OF TITANS WITH ISRAEL CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE.
• 09:09 BUT WE'RE TOLD THAT MICHAEL WILL EMERGE AND STAND FOR THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL.
• 09:15 HE SAYS,
• 09:21 WHAT A FASCINATING STORY THAT IS
• 09:23 THAT THERE'S A POINT IN TIME WHEN THINGS JUST GO FROM BAD TO WORSE BUT THE DELIVERER EMERGES.
• 09:30 READERS OF ZECHARIAH INFORMED
• 09:32 THAT THE NATIONS AROUND ABOUT
• 09:34 JERUSALEM LAYING SIEGE TO IT
• 09:37 AND THEY BREAK THROUGH THE
• 09:38 RAMPARTS AND THEY ENTER INTO
• 09:40 HOMES AND THEY RAPE AND THEY
• 09:41 PILLAGE AND THEY PLUNDER.
• 09:43 AND JUST WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE
• 09:45 ALL IS LOST,LO AND BEHOLD
• 09:47 THE SAVIOR APPEARS
• 09:50 AND ZECHARIAH SAYS THAT THEY
• 09:52 WILL LOOK ON HIM WHO WAS PIERCED
• 09:55 AND WILL MORN FOR HIM.
• 09:57 ZECHARIAH TELLS ABOUT A TIME WHEN THERE WILL BE THIS RECEIVING OF THE MESSIAH,
• 10:02 THE DELIVERER COMES. AND WHAT DOES HE DO? HE RANSOMS CAPTIVE ISRAEL.
• 10:08 I THINK THAT WE LIVE AT FASCINATING TIMES.
• 10:13 I DON'T JUST THINK OF THE NEW YORK TIMES OR THIS TIMES OR THAT TIMES,
• 10:18 AS NEWSPAPERS LIKE TO REFER TO THEMSELVES.
• 10:22 BUT THERE'S THE TIME THAT WAS WRITTEN BEFORE TIME
• 10:25 AS THE LORD HERE IS MOVING THROUGH THE PEN OF DANIEL
• 10:29 TO GIVES US WORDS THAT ARE ONLY MANIFEST AT THE END OF TIME.
• 10:33 IN FACT HE'S TOLD,
• 10:34 "SEAL UP THE WORDS"
• 10:36 "TILL THE TIME OF THE END."
• 10:38 AND IN THOSE WORDS AGAIN HE SEES A GREAT CONFLAGRATION
• 10:42 BUT HE SEES SPIRITUAL FORCES BEING MARSHALED TO THE DEFENSE OF ISRAEL
• 10:46 AND DEFEND ISRAEL MICHAEL DOES.
• 10:49 THE ULTIMATE DEFENSE OF COURSE, IS WHEN THE MASHIACH COMES AND DELIVERS HIS PEOPLE.
• 11:09 COMING TO YOU FROM THE NEWSROOM OF [WWW.LEVITT.COM]
• 11:16 WHERE WE WILL BE LOOKING AT THE WORLDS' NEWS ON THE ONE HAND
• 11:19 AND LOOKING AT THE WORD OF GOD ON THE OTHER
• 11:21 AND PUT THE TWO TOGETHER AND GIVE YOU COMMENTARY
• 11:24 ON A WEEKLY BASIS IF NOT A DAILY BASIS
• 11:27 WHEN THERE'S BREAKING PROPHETIC NEWS IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
• 11:31 I HOPE YOU WILL MAKE IT A HABIT OF REFERRING TO [WWW.LEVITT.COM]
• 11:37 AND LET US CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN.
• 11:49 OH, IT'S WONDERFUL TO BE HERE IN THE JORDAN RIVER.
• 11:52 SANDRA LEVITT AND I WANT TO INVITE YOU TO JOIN US FOR A TRIP.
• 11:55 BUS LOAD OF PILGRIMS ARE HERE
• 11:58 AND 6 PASTORS CAME WITH US
• 12:00 THAT ARE BEHIND US HERE BAPTIZING INDIVIDUALS.
• 12:05 WHY NOT YOU SOMETIME?
• 12:07 JOIN SANDRA LEVITT AND I FOR THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME HERE IN ISRAEL
• 12:10 AND BE BAPTIZED IN THE JORDAN RIVER.
• 12:23 I LOVE ISRAEL.
• 12:26 AND I LOVE THAT VISTA FROM THE MOUNT OF OLIVES OVERLOOKING THE CITY OF JERUSALEM.
• 12:32 I'M NOT PARTICULARLY PLEASED TO SEE THE MOSQUE THERE BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS.BUT OH MY WORD,
• 12:38 THERE'S A NEW DAY DAWNING IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND IN ISRAEL
• 12:40 ISN'T THERE?
• 12:42 I TOO LIKE LOOKING AT THE VISTA
• 12:44 OVER THE MOUNT OF OLIVES
• 12:46 AND YOU REALLY SEE AND GET THE SPIRITUAL FEEL OF JERUSALEM.
• 12:50 THE JEWS ARE BURIED ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
• 12:52 THEY KNOW THAT MESSIAH IS COMING BACK TO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
• 12:55 HE'S NOT COMING BACK ANYWHERE ELSE.
• 12:57 BUT HE'S COMING BACK TO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
• 12:59 WELL WE GET THAT CONCEPT FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT,
• 13:01 THAT'S NOT A NEW TESTAMENT UNDERSTANDING.
• 13:03 THE MOUNT OF OLIVE SPLITS >>THAT'S RIGHT.
• 13:05 AND THE MASHIACH COMES.
• 13:07 THAT'S RIGHT.BUT I THINK IT'S INTERESTING THAT THE JEWS BELIEVE THAT TOO.
• 13:10 THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT BUT THEY READ THEIR OLD TESTAMENT.
• 13:13 YES WE DO. WE BELIEVE IN A COMING MESSIAH, >>THAT'S RIGHT.
• 13:16 WE BELIEVE IN A RESURRECTION. >>THAT'S RIGHT.
• 13:18 AND HERE IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER IN A JESUS STORY.
• 13:20 FOR A GLORIOUS APPEARING. >>YES.
• 13:23 WE GO AGAIN TO ZOLA TEACHING AT THE WESTERN WALL.
• 13:26 HE FINISHES UP HIS TEACHING ON DANIEL, THE LAST WEEK, THE TRIBULATION WEEK.
• 13:30 REALLY, AND WHEN IT'S OVER WE ARE WITH THE LORD.
• 13:33 (Zola speaking) NOW THE 70TH WEEK IS WHAT WE CALL THE END TIMES,
• 13:37 THE TRIBULATION PERIOD.
• 13:38 FIRST WE'LL HAVE THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH,
• 13:40 WHEN THE SAINTS WILL BE TAKEN OUT
• 13:42 BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING BEFORE THE RAPTURE.
• 13:44 EVEN THE APOSTLE'S WERE WAITING FOR THE RAPTURE,
• 13:46 IT DOESN'T DEPEND ON A CONTRACT
• 13:48 BETWEEN THE ANTICHRIST AND ISRAEL OR ANY OTHER IDENTIFIABLE EVENT.
• 13:51 SO THE RAPTURE.
• 13:52 THEN THE ANTI-CHRIST WILL MAKE THIS COVENANT WITH ISRAEL.
• 13:55 WHAT WILL THEY AGREE TO?
• 13:56 PROBABLY ABOUT ISRAEL'S BORDERS,
• 13:58 PROBABLY ABOUT REBUILDING THE TEMPLE.
• 14:00 LOOK AT THE PROBLEMS THERE ARE TODAY.
• 14:02 THE BORDERS ARE THE FIRST PROBLEM.
• 14:04 ISRAEL'S LIFE BLOOD GOES INTO HOLDING ITS TERRITORY.
• 14:08 AND THE SECOND PROBLEM IS THE TEMPLE.
• 14:10 ISRAEL CANNOT BE ISRAEL WITH A MUSLIM SHRINE ON THE TEMPLE SITE.
• 14:15 IT JUST ISN'T THE SAME THING.
• 14:16 THAT IS THE PLACE OF ABRAHAM'S SACRIFICE OF ISAAC,
• 14:19 THAT IS THE PLACE GOD SAID HE WOULD DWELL AMONG HIS PEOPLE.
• 14:22 SO THAT IS IN CONTENTION.
• 14:23 BUT IT WILL TAKE A POWERFUL FORCE TO SETTLE THAT CONTROVERSY
• 14:26 AND THAT WILL BE PART OF THE ANTI-CHRIST COVENANT IT SEEMS TO US.
• 14:30 NOW AT HALF WAY THROUGH THAT 7 YEARS
• 14:34 AT THE 3 AND A HALF YEAR POINT HE WILL BREAK THE TREATY.
• 14:36 HE WILL NOT LIKE IT THAT THE JEWS WON'T BOW DOWN TO HIM
• 14:40 AND NO OTHER DICTATOR HAS EVER LIKED IT
• 14:41 AND HE WILL BREAK THE TREATY AND HE WILL GO INTO THE TEMPLE
• 14:45 AND HE WILL SAY THE UNTHINKABLE.
• 14:48 HE WILL SAY, "Ani Elohim", "I AM GOD".
• 14:52 HE DOESN'T MEAN "I'M LIKE GOD",
• 14:53 HE MEANS "I AM THE GOD OF ISRAEL, THE CREATING GOD".
• 14:56 IMAGINE PAUL SAYS IN II THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 2, VERSE 3 AND 4,
• 15:00 HE'LL GO INTO THE TEMPLE AND PROCLAIM THAT HE'S GOD.
• 15:03 AND JESUS SAID IN MATTHEW CHAPTER 24, VERSE 15,
• 15:05 "WHEN YOU SEE THAT ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION"
• 15:08 "SPOKEN OF BY THE PROPHET DANIEL"
• 15:10 "THEN FLEE INTO THE HILLS OF JUDEA."
• 15:13 HE SAID HE WOULD BE STANDING IN "Ha-Kodesh",
• 15:16 IN "THE HOLY PLACE"
• 15:17 AND THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL WILL TAKE HIS ADVISE AND THEY WILL FLEE.
• 15:21 AND WHEN THE WORLD SEES THAT,
• 15:22 IT SOMEHOW BRINGS ON THIS MADNESS OF "HARMEGIDDO"
• 15:26 THAT TERRIBLE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON.
• 15:29 THE KINGS OF THE WORLD, THE KING OF THE EAST WITH THE 200 MILLION MAN ARMY,
• 15:32 CHINA FOR SURE, THE KING OF THE NORTH, THE KING OF THE SOUTH,
• 15:35 THE ANTI-CHRIST FORCES FROM EUROPE CONVERGE UPON ISRAEL
• 15:39 TO PUNISH ISRAEL, TO FIGHT EACH OTHER.
• 15:41 IT SEEMS THAT THE PEACE HAS BEEN TOO LONG, 7 YEARS OF IT.
• 15:44 AND IT'S THE MOST HORRIBLE BATTLE IN HISTORY,
• 15:47 INTERRUPTED ONLY BY THE SECOND COMING OF MESSIAH WHO SAID,
• 15:50 "IF I HAD NOT COME THEN THERE WOULD BE NO FLESH SAVED."
• 15:54 SO DANIEL'S 70 WEEKS ARE AT LAST COMPLETE,
• 15:57 THAT'S THE END OF THE 70 AND THEN THE KINGDOM CAN BEGIN.
• 16:00 WE SAID THAT NEBUCHDNEZZAR'S DREAM WAS OF THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES
• 16:03 WHEN MASHIACH RETURNS THEN WILL HAVE THE TIME OF ISRAEL AGAIN.
• 16:17 THAT WAS ZOLA YEARS AGO. BUT THE MESSAGE IS TIMELESS ISN'T IT SANDRA?
• 16:21 IT REALLY IS. HE LOVED TEACHING END TIMES PROPHECY.
• 16:25 HE LOVED FOR PEOPLE TO GET THE GOOD NEWS OF SALVATION. HE LOVED IT.
• 16:30 I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO SENTIMENTAL, TIME PASSES, ZOLA HELD A TORCH IN HIS SEASON
• 16:35 AND NOW WE CONTINUE TO TELL THE STORY.
• 16:38 THE STORY IS REALLY MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE STORY TELLER ISN'T IT?
• 16:41 I AGREE, IT'S AN IMPORTANT STORY, YOU'RE RIGHT.
• 16:43 WE LIVE AND DIE PREACHING THE WORD. >>RIGHT.
• 16:46 I LOVE THE STORY THAT ZOLA UNDERSCORED TOO,
• 16:49 THAT IS THAT THE TRIBULATION PERIOD, THE PERIOD OF DIRE STRAITS, IS INTERRUPTED BY THE COMING OF JESUS.
• 16:56 AMEN.AMEN.
• 16:57 AND THEN WE GO TO A THOUSAND YEAR MILLENNIAL KINGDOM. TERRIFIC!
• 17:01 RIGHT, THERE'S ESCHATOLOGY THAT LOOKS AT THE UNFOLDING OF WORLD EVENTS.
• 17:05 IN CONJUNCTION WITH THAT AS WE FINISH
• 17:07 ID LIKE TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT
• 17:10 YOUR TRIBULATION PERIOD RIGHT NOW
• 17:14 CAN BE INTERRUPTED BY THE COMING OF JESUS.
• 17:17 WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT?
• 17:19 JESUS CAME INTO THE WORLD TO SAVE SINNERS.
• 17:22 HE CAN REARRANGE YOUR ABYSMAL CIRCUMSTANCES.
• 17:25 HE CAN CHANGE YOUR DISPOSITION, CHANGE YOUR HEART, RE-ORDER YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES.
• 17:31 THERE'S SOMETHING POWERFUL WHEN PEOPLE REPENT OF THERE SINS AND ASK CHRIST INTO THEIR LIFE,
• 17:36 IS THERE NOT, SANDRA?
• 17:37 WE ARE A NEW CREATION.
• 17:38 I SEE IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
• 17:41 I KNOW THAT I'M A NEW CREATION. GOD HAS ME AS A NEW CREATION.
• 17:45 YES HE DOES AND WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN HIS CREATION AS WE LOOK MORE
• 17:49 AT THE BOOK OF DANIEL.
• 17:53 THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TENSIONS
• 17:55 IN AND AROUND JERUSALEM.
• 17:56 STANDING HERE IN THE MIDDLE
• 17:58 OF AN ENORMOUS GRAVEYARD IN THE MOUNT OF OLIVES DURING THE DAYS OF THE JORDANIAN OCCUPATION
• 18:04 JORDANIANS TOOK THESE GRAVESTONES AND DESECRATED THEM
• 18:07 USING THEM AS PAVEMENT FOR ROADS.
• 18:10 WHEN THIS AREA CAME BACK INTO ISRAELI HANDS
• 18:13 THOSE STONES WERE TAKEN OUT OF THE STREETS AND PUT BACK WHERE THEY BELONG.
• 18:17 STANDING HERE NEXT TO ONE THAT READS
• 18:19 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 18:22 "THIS MAN FEARED THE LORD".
• 18:25 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 18:28 "AND JACOB"... WHICH IS MY SON'S NAME.
• 18:30 "JACOB HAD A GOOD NAME."
• 18:32 AFTER THAT IT MENTIONS WHEN WHEN JACOB DIED IT WAS THE MONTH OF KISLEV
• 18:37 AND THEN THERE'S AN ABBREVIATION UNDERNEATH IT THAT HARKS TO THE DANIEL TEXT.
• 18:41 IT SAYS, "MAY HIS NAME BE WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE."
• 18:47 IN DANIEL CHAPTER 12, VERSES 1 AND ON WE'RE INFORMED
• 18:51 THAT THERE WILL BE A GREAT, GREAT TENSION PRODUCING EVENT.
• 18:56 MICHAEL, ISRAEL'S PATRON SAINT,
• 19:00 THE ANGEL, WILL ARISE AND CONTEND.
• 19:03 THERE WILL BE A BATTLE ROYAL IN THEY AREA WHEN THE MESSIAH COMES.
• 19:06 AND THEN WE'RE TOLD RIGHT AFTER THAT IN VERSE 3
• 19:09 THAT MANY OF THOSE THAT SLEEP IN THE DUST OF THE EARTH SHALL ARISE.
• 19:14 SOME TO EVERLASTING LIFE AND OTHERS TO SHAME AND EVERLASTING CONTEMPT.
• 19:20 JEWISH PEOPLE BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION FOR THAT AND OTHER REASONS.
• 19:25 ANOTHER REASON WOULD BE THAT ISAIAH AS MUCH SPOKE OF THE DEAD RISING
• 19:29 AND IN THE PSALMS
• 19:31 DAVID EXPRESSED HOPE
• 19:32 THAT HE WOULD NOT HAVE HIS SOUL
• 19:34 LEFT IN SHEOL
• 19:35 BUT THAT HE WOULD RISE AGAIN AND
• 19:37 EXPERIENCE THE NEWNESS OF LIFE.
• 19:39 SO THE DOCTRINE OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD IS NOT UNIQUE TO THE NEW TESTAMENT,
• 19:43 IT'S EVEN FOUND IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
• 19:45 BUT I'D LIKE TO TURN TO THE NEW TESTAMENT RIGHT NOW.
• 19:48 IT IS THE CROWNING EVENT IN THE BIBLE AND IT'S WORTHY OF SOME CONSIDERATION.
• 19:54 IN THE JOHANNINE TEXT, THE 11TH CHAPTER OF JOHN THEREIN
• 19:58 THERE'S JEWISH WOMEN THAT ARE MOURNING THE DEATH OF THEIR BROTHER ELIEZER OR LAZARUS, WE KNOW HIM BETTER AS.
• 20:06 THIS PERSON IS GRIEVING
• 20:08 AND MARTHA SAYS TO JESUS,
• 20:10 "I KNOW THAT MY BROTHER"
• 20:12 "WILL RISE AGAIN AT THE"
• 20:13 "RESURRECTION OF THE LAST DAY."
• 20:16 AS A JEWISH WOMAN SHE BELIEVED, AS DO THOSE HERE,
• 20:21 THAT THERE IS A RESURRECTION IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DAWNING OF THE MESSIANIC ERA.
• 20:27 JEWISH PEOPLE HAVE BELIEVED FOR CENTURIES, FOR MILLENNIA,
• 20:32 THAT IT WILL GO DARKEST JUST BEFORE THE DAWN,
• 20:34 THAT THE WORLD WILL BE THROWN INTO A SEASON OF TRIBULATION OF GREAT TROUBLES
• 20:40 BUT THAT GOD HIMSELF WILL SEND HIS ANOINTED ONE, HIS REDEEMER, THE MESSIAH.
• 20:45 EVEN JOB EARLY ON SAID,
• 20:47 "I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES"
• 20:49 "AND THAT LAST HE WILL STAND"
• 20:51 "UPON THE EARTH."
• 20:53 SO FROM THE FIRST TESTAMENT WE LEARN ABOUT A COMING TO LIFE
• 20:57 AND THAT THIS COMING TO LIFE COMES AT A TIME WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE ALL IS LOST.
• 21:03 BUT NO, WHAT IS THE DARKEST OF THE NIGHT IS JUST THE PRECIPITATING EVENT
• 21:08 FOR THE DAWNING OF THE NEW ERA OF A WORLD WHERE IT WILL BE SAID
• 21:13 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 21:24 THERE'S NEW LIFE ON EARTH
• 21:26 AND YOU KNOW THE BIBLE LOOKS FORWARD TO A TIME WHEN THERE'S NEW LIFE FOR INDIVIDUALS.
• 21:30 IN THE 11TH CHAPTER OF JOHN AGAIN, JESUS IS ON RECORD, THE MESSIAH, SAYING
• 21:48 THE BIBLE SPEAKS OF A WORLD BEYOND THIS WORLD
• 21:51 AND THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT THE RIGHTEOUS WHO ARE GRANTED ACCESS TO THIS WORLD.
• 21:57 SOME VISIT THESE GRAVES AND THEY BRING A STONE.
• 22:00 IT'S A MARKER, IT'S A MEMORIAL TO SAY
• 22:02 "I WAS HERE, I REMEMBERED YOU."
• 22:05 FRIENDS, LOVED ONES WILL COME AND VISIT THE GRAVES.
• 22:08 IN FACT, AS WE WERE DRIVING HERE TO DO THIS TV SHOOT HERE ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES
• 22:14 THERE WAS A HASIDIC JEW WHO WAS DAVENING,
• 22:17 HE WAS PRAYING OVER THE GRAVESTONE OF A LOVED ONE.
• 22:21 IT'S NICE TO BE REMEMBERED BY FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
• 22:24 IT'S NICER EVEN STILL IN CONJUNCTION WITH THAT TO BE REMEMBERED BY GOD HIMSELF
• 22:29 WHO SAYS "ONE OF MY OWN IS DEPOSITED HERE".
• 22:34 AND IS THAT NOT THE CULMINATING EVENT IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL?
• 22:39 AS THE WORLD IS IN THE THROWS OF DESPAIR AND AS SOME OF THE RIGHTEOUS ARE CUT OFF
• 22:44 AND AS PEOPLE EXPERIENCE THE TURBULENCE OF TRYING TIMES,
• 22:48 DANIEL BECKONS READERS TO A POINT IN TIME WHEN LIFE AS WE KNOW IT
• 22:53 WILL CEASE TO BE THE LIFE THAT WE KNOW.
• 22:55 WHEN THE TEARS WILL BE WIPED AWAY FROM OUR EYES,
• 22:58 WHERE WE'LL EMERGE VICTORIOUS, CONQUERORS INSTEAD OF CONQUERED,
• 23:02 INSTEAD OF BESTED BY SIN, DECAY, DESPAIR AND DISORIENTATION
• 23:07 WE WILL EMERGE FROM THE GRAVE INTO A NEW EPIC IN OUR EXPERIENCE.
• 23:11 MY PREDECESSOR ZOLA USED TO SAY THAT THIS LIFE THAT WE LIVE IS THE WORST PART OF IT ALL.
• 23:17 WE'VE BEEN GIVEN ETERNAL LIFE
• 23:19 AND ETERNAL LIFE BEGINS AT THE TIME WHEN WE REACH UP TO GOD ETERNAL AND SAY,
• 23:23 "WILL YOU PLEASE COME INTO MY HEART AND GIVE ME NEW LIFE?"
• 23:27 AND AS I CLOSE THIS SERIES I WANT TO EXTEND AN INVITATION TO OPEN UP A NEW WORLD FOR YOU.
• 23:33 A WORLD THAT COMES REPLETE WITH NEW LIFE, FORGIVENESS OF SINS, NEW SPIRIT, A NEW CREATION.
• 23:39 GOD WANTS TO CREATE YOU ANEW ON THE INSIDE.
• 23:42 AND AFTER HE DOES THAT, THE CIRCUMSTANCES AROUND YOU CAN BE CREATED, RE-CREATED
• 23:46 IF YOU WOULD JUST BUT REACH UP TO HIM AND ASK HIM INTO YOUR HEART TO BE YOUR SAVIOR,
• 23:53 THERE'S A DAWNING OF THE NEW WORLD FOR YOU
• 23:55 PROMISES THE PROPHET DANIEL.
• 24:13 IN DANIEL CHAPTER 12, VERSE 4 HE SAYS THAT THE WORDS ARE SEALED UP UNTIL THE TIME OF THE END.
• 24:20 AND HERE WE ARE AT A POINT IN TIME OPENING UP THE BOOK OF DANIEL.
• 24:25 THROUGH THE MIRACLE OF TELEVISION WE GO INTO MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF HOMES
• 24:30 ON THIS CONTINENT AND ABROAD.
• 24:32 INTO ISRAEL WE GO,
• 24:34 WE ARE OPENING UP NEW DOORS IN EUROPE AND ALL OVER THE WORLD
• 24:39 TO TEACH THE BIBLE FROM A JEWISH PERSPECTIVE AND TO, AMONG OTHER THINGS, TO LOOK AT DANIEL.
• 24:45 AND HERE WE OFFER A WRAP ON A BOOK THAT IS SAID,
• 24:49 "IT'S ONLY TO BE UNWRAPPED AT THE TIME OF THE END."
• 24:53 AND WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?
• 24:55 WE'VE CONSIDERED THAT DANIEL WAS A MAN OF PRAYER.
• 24:58 HE GAVE HIMSELF OVER TO GOD AND GOD GAVE HIM INSIGHTS INTO A PERPLEXED WORLD.
• 25:04 THERE WAS DANIEL IN WHAT THEN WAS WHAT TODAY IS IRAN,
• 25:09 REMOVED FROM THE HOLY LAND.
• 25:11 AND HE SEES VISIONS OF WARS,
• 25:13 THE RESTORATION OF ISRAEL
• 25:15 AND THE RESTORATION OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD ON PLANET EARTH.
• 25:19 A FASCINATING BOOK AND BOY I REALLY HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE JOURNEY WITH US.
• 25:24 IT'S BEEN GOOD HASN'T IT SANDRA?
• 25:25 IT HAS BEEN GOOD JEFF.
• 25:27 IT'S THE GOOD NEWS.
• 25:28 IT'S THE REASON WE CALL IT "THE GOOD NEWS."
• 25:30 ZOLA WOULD SAY,
• 25:32 "WE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE."
• 25:35 "THIS IS THE WORST PART."
• 25:36 "BEING ON EARTH IS THE WORST PART."
• 25:39 "HEAVEN IS INDESCRIBABLE."
• 25:41 "WE'RE LOOKING FOR LOCATION." I LOVED IT.
• 25:44 I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT WAS THE FUNNIEST -
• 25:45 - NOT "FUNNY" FUNNY, BUT TRUE.
• 25:47 IT'S A GREAT POINT. PEOPLE THINK THAT
• 25:50 ETERNAL LIFE BEGINS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GRAVE. >>RIGHT. RIGHT.
• 25:53 BUT AT ISSUE IS THAT ETERNAL LIFE BEGINS NOW.
• 25:56 ABSOLUTELY, WE HAVE IT NOW.
• 25:58 LET ME JUST SAY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THAT,
• 26:00 SOME PEOPLE WONDER, THEY SAY,
• 26:02 "CHRISTIANITY JUST TEACHES ABOUT LIFE AFTER DEATH."
• 26:07 NO, WE TEACH LIFE BEFORE DEATH. >>AMEN.
• 26:10 THAT THE GOOD LIFE BEGINS NOW AND IT'S AVAILABLE TO ALL NOW.
• 26:14 BETTER THAT PEOPLE SIEZE THE OFFER NOW TOO,
• 26:17 ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT'S COMING IN THE WORLD AFTER THE RAPTURE.
• 26:20 AND WE SEE IT. MATTHEW CHAPTER 24
• 26:23 TALKS ABOUT THE "END OF THE DAYS".
• 26:24 WHAT ARE THE SIGNS?
• 26:26 WE SEE THE SIGNS.
• 26:27 WE NEED TO WAKE UP AND PAY ATTENTION.
• 26:28 GOD BLESS YOU AND,
• 26:30 "SHA' ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM"
• 26:32 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
