1 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,046 The question that people are asking all around the world right 2 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:12,406 now is, Pastor Mike, are we in the end 3 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:13,010 times? 4 00:00:14,190 --> 00:00:17,942 Some people say, what seal is being opened today in the book of 5 00:00:14,190 --> 00:00:18,574 Revelation? 6 00:00:18,662 --> 00:00:22,238 In my life, it feels like we're in the end times. 7 00:00:22,294 --> 00:00:25,318 And I'm getting that question so much that I'm going to devote 8 00:00:22,294 --> 00:00:27,022 the next several minutes to showing what 9 00:00:22,294 --> 00:00:29,400 the Bible has to say about the end 10 00:00:22,294 --> 00:00:30,020 times. 11 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,344 And we are going to see if we can arrive to an answer. 12 00:00:33,472 --> 00:00:36,360 And I believe it may be an answer that you did not expect. 13 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,280 And so I want you to stick around. 14 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,520 But how many of you have an awareness that we are in the end 15 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,832 times? 16 00:00:41,896 --> 00:00:43,336 How many of you believe we are? 17 00:00:43,448 --> 00:00:43,816 Okay. 18 00:00:43,848 --> 00:00:44,888 Many of you do. 19 00:00:45,024 --> 00:00:46,368 So I want to break this down. 20 00:00:46,424 --> 00:00:48,840 And this is one of the most important sermons that I've ever 21 00:00:46,424 --> 00:00:50,320 delivered in my life. 22 00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:53,552 Because when you understand the importance of the times in which 23 00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:56,000 you're alive, then you get clarity 24 00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:58,272 concerning what you should do. 25 00:00:58,416 --> 00:01:02,696 And so my goal is to bring you into clarity across all of our v 26 00:00:58,416 --> 00:01:03,800 one church locations. 27 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,352 So let's start with the words of Jesus, because who cares what 28 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,832 Mike Signorelli thinks? 29 00:01:08,936 --> 00:01:10,256 I want to learn the word of God. 30 00:01:10,288 --> 00:01:12,064 Y'all ready to learn with me? 31 00:01:12,232 --> 00:01:12,656 Okay. 32 00:01:12,688 --> 00:01:13,712 So say this with me. 33 00:01:13,736 --> 00:01:14,224 Let's pray. 34 00:01:14,272 --> 00:01:17,660 Say, heavenly Father, teach me your word. 35 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,400 Open my eyes to see clearly. 36 00:01:23,260 --> 00:01:29,120 Open my ears to hear clearly in the spiritual realm. 37 00:01:29,820 --> 00:01:35,796 I pray that your holy spirit would teach me the word in Jesus 38 00:01:29,820 --> 00:01:36,436 name. 39 00:01:36,588 --> 00:01:37,440 Amen. 40 00:01:37,820 --> 00:01:41,852 So let's first look at Matthew, chapter 24, verses five 41 00:01:37,820 --> 00:01:42,636 through eight. 42 00:01:42,748 --> 00:01:45,900 The disciples were asking Jesus to question Jesus. 43 00:01:46,020 --> 00:01:49,236 When will we know when it's the end of days? 44 00:01:49,308 --> 00:01:52,868 When will we know when this thing is over and Jesus actually 45 00:01:49,308 --> 00:01:53,868 answered them? 46 00:01:53,964 --> 00:01:57,828 And we have this in scripture, verse five starts by saying, and 47 00:01:53,964 --> 00:01:59,180 if you're a note taker, write these 48 00:01:53,964 --> 00:02:00,140 scriptures down. 49 00:02:00,260 --> 00:02:04,628 For many will come in my name claiming I am the messiah and will 50 00:02:00,260 --> 00:02:06,116 deceive many. 51 00:02:06,308 --> 00:02:07,156 So many. 52 00:02:07,228 --> 00:02:10,460 Many will come claiming that they are the messiah, and they will 53 00:02:07,228 --> 00:02:12,060 actually deceive many. 54 00:02:12,180 --> 00:02:15,556 In your lifetime alone, have you seen people claiming to be the 55 00:02:12,180 --> 00:02:16,348 savior? 56 00:02:16,524 --> 00:02:19,852 Have you seen many people claiming to be the savior? 57 00:02:19,996 --> 00:02:20,532 Okay. 58 00:02:20,596 --> 00:02:23,716 Have you seen people being deceived by them claiming to be the 59 00:02:20,596 --> 00:02:24,364 savior? 60 00:02:24,492 --> 00:02:26,996 The answer to all these questions is yes. 61 00:02:27,188 --> 00:02:30,612 But we also know that this has been happening for the last 2000 62 00:02:27,188 --> 00:02:31,196 years. 63 00:02:31,308 --> 00:02:32,764 So now let's go deeper. 64 00:02:32,812 --> 00:02:33,540 Verse six. 65 00:02:33,620 --> 00:02:34,964 Look at it with me. 66 00:02:35,132 --> 00:02:39,620 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that 67 00:02:35,132 --> 00:02:41,280 you are not alarmed. 68 00:02:41,830 --> 00:02:43,902 Such things must happen. 69 00:02:44,086 --> 00:02:46,366 But the end is still to come. 70 00:02:46,558 --> 00:02:50,142 In your lifetime, have you heard of wars and rumors of wars? 71 00:02:50,326 --> 00:02:51,014 Yes. 72 00:02:51,142 --> 00:02:54,286 But have there not been wars and rumors and wars for the last 73 00:02:51,142 --> 00:02:56,126 2000 years since these words were 74 00:02:51,142 --> 00:02:57,326 spoken by Jesus? 75 00:02:57,438 --> 00:02:58,198 Yes. 76 00:02:58,374 --> 00:03:01,370 So how do we know when it's the end times? 77 00:03:01,830 --> 00:03:02,822 Let me just tell you. 78 00:03:02,846 --> 00:03:05,590 The thing that's most important about the words of Jesus 79 00:03:02,846 --> 00:03:09,232 is him saying, don't you worry about 80 00:03:02,846 --> 00:03:10,140 a thing. 81 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,872 Every little thing gonna be all right rise up this morning. 82 00:03:15,936 --> 00:03:22,016 Okay, now, you know he didn't. 83 00:03:22,048 --> 00:03:22,976 Jesus didn't say that. 84 00:03:23,008 --> 00:03:24,260 That was Bob Marley. 85 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,712 Some of you were so high listening to Bob Marley you don't 86 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,120 know who was Jesus or who was Bob 87 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,820 Marley. 88 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,064 This is what he says. 89 00:03:32,152 --> 00:03:35,098 Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 90 00:03:35,224 --> 00:03:38,646 He says, but see to it that you are not alarmed. 91 00:03:38,758 --> 00:03:43,050 Turn to your neighbor and say, don't you worry about a thing. 92 00:03:46,830 --> 00:03:50,430 Don't be alarmed when you hear about wars and rumors and wars. 93 00:03:50,510 --> 00:03:51,782 Let me tell you why. 94 00:03:51,926 --> 00:03:55,470 Because the more time you spend in worry, you're worshiping 95 00:03:51,926 --> 00:03:57,758 the thing you worry instead of worshiping 96 00:03:51,926 --> 00:03:59,902 the one who deserves worship. 97 00:04:00,086 --> 00:04:03,130 Worry is misdirected worship. 98 00:04:04,310 --> 00:04:08,470 So turn your worship into worry of the one or turn your worry 99 00:04:04,310 --> 00:04:10,710 into worship to the only one who's 100 00:04:04,310 --> 00:04:12,014 worthy of worship. 101 00:04:12,182 --> 00:04:13,390 It was a tongue twister. 102 00:04:13,470 --> 00:04:15,370 I successfully pulled it off. 103 00:04:16,470 --> 00:04:18,490 Worked all week on that for you. 104 00:04:18,910 --> 00:04:23,638 But when we hear about war and the rumors of war, we should not 105 00:04:18,910 --> 00:04:24,302 worry. 106 00:04:24,446 --> 00:04:27,330 But let me just tell you, we should start to celebrate. 107 00:04:27,830 --> 00:04:31,836 We should celebrate because we know that it's hastening the day 108 00:04:27,830 --> 00:04:34,716 that our messiah, Jesus, the true 109 00:04:27,830 --> 00:04:36,796 Messiah, is returning again. 110 00:04:36,948 --> 00:04:38,460 Okay, let's go a little bit deeper. 111 00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:39,396 Verse seven. 112 00:04:39,548 --> 00:04:43,036 Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. 113 00:04:43,148 --> 00:04:47,760 There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 114 00:04:48,260 --> 00:04:51,660 Now, this is the most important part. 115 00:04:51,780 --> 00:04:52,652 Verse eight. 116 00:04:52,756 --> 00:04:55,604 All these are the beginning of birth. 117 00:04:55,652 --> 00:04:55,982 And I. 118 00:04:56,036 --> 00:04:56,710 Pains. 119 00:04:57,130 --> 00:04:57,858 Birth pains. 120 00:04:57,914 --> 00:04:58,842 All these are the beginnings. 121 00:04:58,866 --> 00:05:02,474 So you hear a famine, you see earthquakes in various places. 122 00:05:02,522 --> 00:05:04,634 But it's the beginning of what? 123 00:05:04,762 --> 00:05:05,962 Of birth pains. 124 00:05:06,066 --> 00:05:10,482 Now, Julie and I got married young, and my wife Julie got pregnant 125 00:05:06,066 --> 00:05:12,754 two months into our marriage. 126 00:05:12,802 --> 00:05:16,378 Now, our plan was not to get pregnant two months into marriage. 127 00:05:16,474 --> 00:05:19,946 We thought we were going to be hipster christians who did worship, 128 00:05:16,474 --> 00:05:22,138 traveling all over the US, maybe 129 00:05:16,474 --> 00:05:23,002 overseas. 130 00:05:23,106 --> 00:05:25,906 We were going to frolic together through the streets of northwest 131 00:05:23,106 --> 00:05:26,790 Indiana. 132 00:05:27,250 --> 00:05:30,198 Those first two months of marriage were amazing. 133 00:05:30,254 --> 00:05:32,502 We were holding hands, walking down the street. 134 00:05:32,606 --> 00:05:34,518 We went out to eat all the time. 135 00:05:34,694 --> 00:05:37,210 We had expendable income. 136 00:05:37,550 --> 00:05:38,810 What is that? 137 00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:41,206 Then all of a sudden, Julie wakes me up. 138 00:05:41,238 --> 00:05:41,742 Mike. 139 00:05:41,886 --> 00:05:43,214 Mike, I'm pregnant. 140 00:05:43,342 --> 00:05:44,206 Mike, I'm pregnant. 141 00:05:44,238 --> 00:05:47,490 She's crying, and I'm like this. 142 00:05:49,430 --> 00:05:51,614 And she's like, why are you smiling? 143 00:05:51,742 --> 00:05:52,814 This was not the plan. 144 00:05:52,862 --> 00:05:54,430 We've only been married for two months. 145 00:05:54,470 --> 00:05:55,270 What are we going to do? 146 00:05:55,310 --> 00:05:56,210 And I'm like. 147 00:05:56,730 --> 00:05:57,962 And she's like, why are you smiling? 148 00:05:57,986 --> 00:05:59,790 I'm like, because it works. 149 00:06:01,250 --> 00:06:02,386 And she's like, what do you mean? 150 00:06:02,418 --> 00:06:04,002 I'm like, I didn't know if I could have kids. 151 00:06:04,066 --> 00:06:06,950 Now I know it works. 152 00:06:07,930 --> 00:06:11,950 That was honestly my Bella, if you're watching this right now. 153 00:06:18,410 --> 00:06:24,460 And then Julie as pregnant Julie was quite the experience. 154 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:26,900 Let me just tell you. 155 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,780 Pregnant Julie is hilarious. 156 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,216 And we won't go into details of that because I haven't gotten 157 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,640 permission to tell you all of it. 158 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,336 But needless to say, it was a ride, a wild ride. 159 00:06:38,488 --> 00:06:41,216 And we get to the end of her pregnancy, and all of a sudden, one 160 00:06:38,488 --> 00:06:42,912 morning, I go to kiss her goodbye 161 00:06:38,488 --> 00:06:44,712 to leave for work, and as soon as I 162 00:06:38,488 --> 00:06:46,320 kiss her, her water breaks. 163 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,780 This is a true story. 164 00:06:48,350 --> 00:06:50,490 I go, that's disgusting. 165 00:06:51,550 --> 00:06:54,814 And she was like, mike, this is really how it happened. 166 00:06:54,902 --> 00:06:57,254 I go, all right, babe, I'll see you when I get home. 167 00:06:57,382 --> 00:06:58,170 And then. 168 00:06:58,750 --> 00:07:02,878 And I'm like, yuck, what is that? 169 00:07:03,014 --> 00:07:04,950 And she's like, mike, we're gonna have a baby. 170 00:07:04,990 --> 00:07:05,742 Today's the day. 171 00:07:05,766 --> 00:07:06,942 And I'm like, oh. 172 00:07:07,126 --> 00:07:09,902 So I call my job and I'm like, I'm not coming in. 173 00:07:10,006 --> 00:07:11,190 My wife's gonna have. 174 00:07:11,230 --> 00:07:12,062 We're gonna have our baby. 175 00:07:12,086 --> 00:07:13,206 And I'm freaking out. 176 00:07:13,318 --> 00:07:13,942 But it take. 177 00:07:14,006 --> 00:07:19,438 It took 12 hours for Bella to come out, 12 hours of labor. 178 00:07:19,494 --> 00:07:21,490 Now, here's the thing I learned about labor. 179 00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:27,446 The contractions increase in their frequency, their duration and 180 00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:30,006 their intensity the closer we get 181 00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:31,822 to the delivery of the baby. 182 00:07:31,966 --> 00:07:34,174 So labor was 12 hours. 183 00:07:34,302 --> 00:07:38,430 Now, let me just say, Matthew, chapter 24, verses five through eight. 184 00:07:38,550 --> 00:07:40,358 I just broke that down for you. 185 00:07:40,494 --> 00:07:44,746 They believed they were in the end times because every single thing 186 00:07:40,494 --> 00:07:46,450 that Jesus spoke about, there was 187 00:07:40,494 --> 00:07:48,378 some way of them claiming that it 188 00:07:40,494 --> 00:07:50,058 was happening during their lifetime. 189 00:07:50,154 --> 00:07:53,930 So 2000 years ago, they thought, well, surely we watched 190 00:07:50,154 --> 00:07:55,586 Jesus ascend into heaven. 191 00:07:55,618 --> 00:07:58,630 Surely he's coming back in our lifetime. 192 00:07:58,930 --> 00:08:02,850 And now, 2000 years later, it'd be like, oh, I get it. 193 00:08:02,890 --> 00:08:04,986 Christians are always saying Jesus is coming back. 194 00:08:05,018 --> 00:08:06,842 They've been saying that for 2000 years. 195 00:08:06,946 --> 00:08:10,402 But that's almost like saying the baby's not coming. 196 00:08:10,586 --> 00:08:12,282 But the water broke. 197 00:08:12,386 --> 00:08:13,130 But you don't. 198 00:08:13,210 --> 00:08:14,686 It's been 12 hours. 199 00:08:14,818 --> 00:08:18,854 Me just tell you this, that baby's coming down the canal and 200 00:08:14,818 --> 00:08:20,054 it will happen. 201 00:08:20,182 --> 00:08:25,174 And nobody knows the day, the hour or the time, but we know with 202 00:08:20,182 --> 00:08:26,702 certainty it will happen. 203 00:08:26,806 --> 00:08:30,958 And so Bella Joyce Signorelli was coming down that birthing canal, 204 00:08:26,806 --> 00:08:34,022 and we didn't know when we knew the 205 00:08:26,806 --> 00:08:35,294 day, let me tell you. 206 00:08:35,422 --> 00:08:39,150 But 12 hours in, she came out and she was delivered. 207 00:08:39,190 --> 00:08:44,046 And so what you look for, you look for the frequency, you look 208 00:08:39,190 --> 00:08:46,470 for the duration, and you look for the 209 00:08:39,190 --> 00:08:48,422 intensity of the signs. 210 00:08:48,526 --> 00:08:49,366 Y'all, is this good? 211 00:08:49,398 --> 00:08:50,650 Is this helping you? 212 00:08:51,230 --> 00:08:53,326 So have there always been earthquakes? 213 00:08:53,398 --> 00:08:57,030 Yes, but it, doesn't it seem like the weather's been real funny 214 00:08:53,398 --> 00:08:57,730 lately? 215 00:08:58,910 --> 00:09:03,006 I mean, during Hurricane Katrina, I actually moved to New 216 00:08:58,910 --> 00:09:05,038 Orleans and served those people. 217 00:09:05,094 --> 00:09:07,854 During that time, I worked with the Army Corps of Engineers. 218 00:09:07,982 --> 00:09:08,638 I was there. 219 00:09:08,694 --> 00:09:12,902 I saw firsthand the devastation in New Orleans that happened 220 00:09:08,694 --> 00:09:14,318 as a result of that hurricane. 221 00:09:14,414 --> 00:09:17,526 They're saying that what happened in this nation over the 222 00:09:14,414 --> 00:09:19,678 last several weeks was roughly ten 223 00:09:14,414 --> 00:09:21,942 times greater the devastation. 224 00:09:22,126 --> 00:09:25,750 And you best believe that v one is going to be mobilizing some 225 00:09:22,126 --> 00:09:27,430 resources to help people in need 226 00:09:22,126 --> 00:09:28,406 here in the US. 227 00:09:28,558 --> 00:09:30,410 How many of you are with me on that? 228 00:09:31,230 --> 00:09:34,326 But I say that because there's something about the intensity. 229 00:09:34,438 --> 00:09:38,244 It's like the contractions begin to, that bring forth this new 230 00:09:34,438 --> 00:09:40,556 day, but the frequency, the duration 231 00:09:34,438 --> 00:09:43,228 and the intensity of it begins to increase 232 00:09:34,438 --> 00:09:45,260 as we get closer and closer to that 233 00:09:34,438 --> 00:09:45,764 time. 234 00:09:45,892 --> 00:09:49,660 But now that I've established all of that, I want to now take. 235 00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:53,884 So keep your, the entire time I'm teaching, keep your finger in 236 00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:56,492 the back of Matthew chapter 24, because 237 00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:58,516 we're going to go to the Old Testament, 238 00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:59,508 and then we're going to come back 239 00:09:49,700 --> 00:10:01,148 before the end, because I'm going 240 00:09:49,700 --> 00:10:04,556 to show you how you can really get a 241 00:09:49,700 --> 00:10:06,052 good answer about whether or not 242 00:09:49,700 --> 00:10:07,212 we're in the end times. 243 00:10:07,356 --> 00:10:08,268 Okay? 244 00:10:08,444 --> 00:10:12,840 Now there's three factors that are very, very important. 245 00:10:13,140 --> 00:10:17,948 And these three factors you see in the 10th chapter of Daniel. 246 00:10:18,124 --> 00:10:21,444 You see it in the 11th chapter of the Book of Daniel. 247 00:10:21,572 --> 00:10:25,000 And you see it in the 11th chapter of the book of revelation. 248 00:10:25,420 --> 00:10:29,596 Now, I am not going to take the time to read Daniel 1011 and 249 00:10:25,420 --> 00:10:31,324 revelation eleven, but I'm going 250 00:10:25,420 --> 00:10:33,020 to summarize it for the sake of this 251 00:10:25,420 --> 00:10:35,696 sermon to help arrive to a conclusion 252 00:10:25,420 --> 00:10:37,480 about whether or not we are in the 253 00:10:25,420 --> 00:10:38,368 end times. 254 00:10:38,544 --> 00:10:42,400 But the three things that you extract from those prophecies in 255 00:10:38,544 --> 00:10:44,368 scripture, and write these down if 256 00:10:38,544 --> 00:10:45,288 you're a note taker. 257 00:10:45,344 --> 00:10:49,464 Number one, the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. 258 00:10:49,632 --> 00:10:52,928 The rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. 259 00:10:53,064 --> 00:10:57,808 This is a very significant aspect of the prophecy that determines 260 00:10:53,064 --> 00:10:59,624 where you're at in the end times. 261 00:10:59,752 --> 00:11:02,150 The rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. 262 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:07,146 Number two, increased hostility towards Israel. 263 00:11:07,338 --> 00:11:11,670 There will be an increase in hostility towards Israel. 264 00:11:17,730 --> 00:11:23,630 Explain antisemitism other than demonic. 265 00:11:24,450 --> 00:11:29,190 It makes no sense that one people group is hated to that degree, 266 00:11:24,450 --> 00:11:31,478 marginalized and treated the way 267 00:11:24,450 --> 00:11:32,686 that they've been treated for the 268 00:11:24,450 --> 00:11:33,990 last 2000 years. 269 00:11:34,070 --> 00:11:35,894 You can see it over and over and over again. 270 00:11:35,942 --> 00:11:38,850 And no, history doesn't repeat, but it rhymes. 271 00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:45,646 And there is a demonic force that's behind the attempt to annihilate 272 00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:48,610 the jewish people off of the planet. 273 00:11:48,910 --> 00:11:53,030 And when you see that right now Israel is at war and they're 274 00:11:48,910 --> 00:11:56,454 fighting on seven fronts, the nation 275 00:11:48,910 --> 00:11:58,590 of Israel is only the size of New 276 00:11:48,910 --> 00:11:59,134 Jersey. 277 00:11:59,222 --> 00:12:04,102 I don't know if you know that it's the landmass of New Jersey and 278 00:11:59,222 --> 00:12:06,398 it is under continual and perpetual 279 00:11:59,222 --> 00:12:08,166 attack to some degree, which is why 280 00:11:59,222 --> 00:12:09,574 they have the Iron Dome. 281 00:12:09,702 --> 00:12:12,790 But right now they are fighting on seven fronts. 282 00:12:12,950 --> 00:12:17,126 I want you to think about that because so much of your mind has 283 00:12:12,950 --> 00:12:19,638 been infiltrated by news media and 284 00:12:12,950 --> 00:12:20,730 social media. 285 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,296 But you need to be informed by the scriptures, because what the 286 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:26,208 Bible says about this is the only 287 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:27,832 thing that truly matters. 288 00:12:28,016 --> 00:12:32,544 And so when I make a statement like this, some of you in your mind 289 00:12:28,016 --> 00:12:34,696 can think that I'm not empathetic 290 00:12:28,016 --> 00:12:37,096 to the victims in Palestine, that I don't 291 00:12:28,016 --> 00:12:39,232 understand the complexities of Gaza, 292 00:12:28,016 --> 00:12:39,960 Iran. 293 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,248 I'm telling you from a biblical perspective, these things 294 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,580 have been written. 295 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,680 And I've actually traveled there. 296 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:47,636 I've been there. 297 00:12:47,768 --> 00:12:51,524 And right now our executive pastor, Josh Hamster is in Israel 298 00:12:47,768 --> 00:12:52,160 now. 299 00:12:53,180 --> 00:12:57,668 And we sent him with a group of elite men and they have been ministering 300 00:12:53,180 --> 00:12:59,148 and providing counsel. 301 00:12:59,284 --> 00:13:04,132 And he was in Tel Aviv last week when almost 200 missiles were 302 00:12:59,284 --> 00:13:05,196 sent from Iran. 303 00:13:05,308 --> 00:13:08,960 And I am thankful that Josh Hamster is alive to tell that story. 304 00:13:09,740 --> 00:13:13,708 And the man that he is, he literally gave up his spot in a bomb 305 00:13:09,740 --> 00:13:15,948 shelter and stood in a hallway so 306 00:13:09,740 --> 00:13:17,292 that women and children could be 307 00:13:09,740 --> 00:13:17,740 in there. 308 00:13:17,820 --> 00:13:19,764 That's a righteous man of God. 309 00:13:19,932 --> 00:13:22,876 And then when I facetime him, he was laughing and I said, what 310 00:13:19,932 --> 00:13:23,492 is so funny? 311 00:13:23,516 --> 00:13:26,080 And I'm thinking to myself, maybe he has death anxiety. 312 00:13:27,340 --> 00:13:32,196 And he's saying, he goes, Pastor Mike, you're my apostle and 313 00:13:27,340 --> 00:13:34,316 you sent me to Israel and I'm the 314 00:13:27,340 --> 00:13:34,740 prophet. 315 00:13:34,780 --> 00:13:36,372 I'm here to prophesy, ain't I? 316 00:13:36,436 --> 00:13:37,092 And I said, yeah. 317 00:13:37,116 --> 00:13:39,820 He goes, then I'm in the safest place I can be. 318 00:13:39,860 --> 00:13:41,720 I'm in the perfect will of the father. 319 00:13:42,740 --> 00:13:46,376 And he said, I feel a unity here and we're singing songs in this 320 00:13:42,740 --> 00:13:47,208 bomb shelter. 321 00:13:47,304 --> 00:13:48,912 And I'm going to say, thus saith the Lord. 322 00:13:48,936 --> 00:13:50,980 And I said, go on with your bad self. 323 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:53,736 But why do I say that? 324 00:13:53,768 --> 00:13:57,224 Because when you read Daniel chapter ten, Daniel chapter eleven, 325 00:13:53,768 --> 00:13:59,176 and revelation eleven, there will be 326 00:13:53,768 --> 00:14:01,192 this increased hostility towards 327 00:13:53,768 --> 00:14:02,020 Israel. 328 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,368 I'm talking from a scriptural standpoint, not a political standpoint. 329 00:14:07,544 --> 00:14:10,584 And then last but not least, the third thing that you see is there's 330 00:14:07,544 --> 00:14:13,340 advances in a one world government. 331 00:14:13,670 --> 00:14:18,022 The United nations just met here in New York City, and there 332 00:14:13,670 --> 00:14:20,174 was a part of their agenda that actually 333 00:14:13,670 --> 00:14:22,710 dealt with what conditions have to 334 00:14:13,670 --> 00:14:24,366 happen in the earth to remove the 335 00:14:13,670 --> 00:14:26,606 sovereignty of a nation so that we 336 00:14:13,670 --> 00:14:28,342 could unite to solve the problem. 337 00:14:28,486 --> 00:14:31,886 Well, let me just tell you, I'm not so interested in losing our 338 00:14:28,486 --> 00:14:33,518 sovereignty for the sake of fake 339 00:14:28,486 --> 00:14:34,150 unity. 340 00:14:34,270 --> 00:14:36,206 I'd rather stay individual. 341 00:14:36,318 --> 00:14:39,794 And we've got to understand the signs of the times and what we're 342 00:14:36,318 --> 00:14:42,314 living in because there is a demonic 343 00:14:36,318 --> 00:14:43,282 deception. 344 00:14:43,426 --> 00:14:46,738 And I believe that this one world government talk is not Alex 345 00:14:43,426 --> 00:14:50,010 Jones Tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy 346 00:14:43,426 --> 00:14:50,538 theory. 347 00:14:50,634 --> 00:14:53,710 It's the precursor to an antichrist system. 348 00:14:54,770 --> 00:14:58,674 And that's why I'm doing this sermon today, to borrow back the 349 00:14:54,770 --> 00:15:01,586 language that was stolen by people 350 00:14:54,770 --> 00:15:03,706 who are biblically illiterate. 351 00:15:03,898 --> 00:15:06,146 And then some of you, and this is going to be a rebuke. 352 00:15:06,178 --> 00:15:09,586 As your pastor, you've spent more time in the last couple years 353 00:15:06,178 --> 00:15:11,302 with conspiracies than you have with 354 00:15:06,178 --> 00:15:11,890 Christ. 355 00:15:12,950 --> 00:15:16,614 And what happens when you start spending more times with more 356 00:15:12,950 --> 00:15:18,246 time with conspiracies than with 357 00:15:12,950 --> 00:15:20,206 Christ is that you end up not even 358 00:15:12,950 --> 00:15:21,942 being able to properly discern the 359 00:15:12,950 --> 00:15:23,050 conspiracies. 360 00:15:24,390 --> 00:15:27,090 And then the other thing is, who's your source of information? 361 00:15:27,390 --> 00:15:29,958 Is it the Holy Spirit or somebody else? 362 00:15:30,094 --> 00:15:31,950 Is it scripture or something else? 363 00:15:32,030 --> 00:15:35,710 And you've got christians that will consult a talking head social 364 00:15:32,030 --> 00:15:38,814 media guru before they consult scripture, 365 00:15:32,030 --> 00:15:40,906 and you're going to begin to get 366 00:15:32,030 --> 00:15:42,194 into deception. 367 00:15:42,362 --> 00:15:46,210 The Bible says that in the last times, even the elect will be 368 00:15:42,362 --> 00:15:47,058 deceived. 369 00:15:47,234 --> 00:15:48,790 You know how that happens? 370 00:15:49,370 --> 00:15:53,202 You accept Christ in a moment of salvation, but then you end up 371 00:15:49,370 --> 00:15:55,434 being discipled by conspiracy theorists 372 00:15:49,370 --> 00:15:58,586 more than Christ, and you'll be deceived. 373 00:15:58,658 --> 00:16:00,386 Okay, that rebuke, was that too harsh? 374 00:16:00,418 --> 00:16:01,510 Are you guys cool? 375 00:16:02,690 --> 00:16:06,266 Okay, because I'm trying to show you scriptures and some of you 376 00:16:02,690 --> 00:16:07,690 know the phrase one world government, 377 00:16:02,690 --> 00:16:10,122 but never read Daniel 1011 or revelation 378 00:16:02,690 --> 00:16:10,872 eleven. 379 00:16:11,066 --> 00:16:13,348 So you've got to go back to the book. 380 00:16:13,524 --> 00:16:16,012 Now, the other thing about this sermon, and I want to do this 381 00:16:13,524 --> 00:16:18,212 because I'm pivoting into more, is 382 00:16:13,524 --> 00:16:19,740 that there are many preachers that 383 00:16:13,524 --> 00:16:21,844 use their pulpit inappropriately 384 00:16:13,524 --> 00:16:24,348 to tell you things as if they're fact. 385 00:16:24,484 --> 00:16:27,660 But theologically they cannot be proven as fact. 386 00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:30,716 The thing that I will try my best to do, and I've been doing this 387 00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:33,156 for years, is to divide the scriptures 388 00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:35,596 rightly in such a way that you can 389 00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:37,716 take satisfaction in knowing this 390 00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:39,538 is teaching you can trust. 391 00:16:39,724 --> 00:16:42,766 So there are some times in scripture where we have a definitive 392 00:16:39,724 --> 00:16:45,358 interpretation, and there are other 393 00:16:39,724 --> 00:16:47,998 times where even renowned biblical 394 00:16:39,724 --> 00:16:50,438 scholars disagree about the interpretation. 395 00:16:50,574 --> 00:16:54,054 And what I do, because I believe that our church is an intelligent 396 00:16:50,574 --> 00:16:56,182 church, is I try to give you the 397 00:16:50,574 --> 00:16:58,270 interpretation in a way that I will 398 00:16:50,574 --> 00:17:00,518 give you my opinion as a pastor and 399 00:16:50,574 --> 00:17:01,742 a shepherd and a leader. 400 00:17:01,886 --> 00:17:05,814 But I'll also acknowledge the fact that some scriptures do not 401 00:17:01,886 --> 00:17:08,206 have in our generation a black and 402 00:17:01,886 --> 00:17:09,822 white interpretation that's agreed 403 00:17:01,886 --> 00:17:11,794 upon and then give you the opportunity 404 00:17:01,886 --> 00:17:13,722 to make up your own mind, assuming that 405 00:17:01,886 --> 00:17:15,402 it's not an essential doctrine. 406 00:17:15,506 --> 00:17:16,950 Are you okay with that? 407 00:17:17,450 --> 00:17:21,834 So when we look at Daniel chapter twelve, because remember 408 00:17:17,450 --> 00:17:23,618 I said we're going to go from Matthew chapter 409 00:17:17,450 --> 00:17:25,670 24, now we're going to go through. 410 00:17:26,010 --> 00:17:28,682 Now we're going to land on Daniel chapter twelve. 411 00:17:28,866 --> 00:17:32,266 This is the last chapter in the book of Daniel. 412 00:17:32,418 --> 00:17:36,634 Daniel was a man that God sovereignly spoke to and gave him 413 00:17:32,418 --> 00:17:38,012 many prophecies. 414 00:17:38,186 --> 00:17:41,968 And some of these prophecies are what are considered end time 415 00:17:38,186 --> 00:17:42,864 prophecies. 416 00:17:42,992 --> 00:17:48,192 And Daniel Chapter twelve is revered as the chapter on the end 417 00:17:42,992 --> 00:17:49,144 of the age. 418 00:17:49,312 --> 00:17:52,192 And there's some things that we can look at and extract to try 419 00:17:49,312 --> 00:17:54,088 to determine whether or not we are 420 00:17:49,312 --> 00:17:55,784 in fact in the end time. 421 00:17:55,912 --> 00:17:56,904 So let's. 422 00:17:56,952 --> 00:18:00,696 Now, for those of you who have OCD, I'm going to do this out of 423 00:17:56,952 --> 00:18:00,944 order. 424 00:18:00,992 --> 00:18:03,020 So just brace yourself. 425 00:18:03,370 --> 00:18:04,298 Okay? 426 00:18:04,474 --> 00:18:08,578 So sign number one for the note takers. 427 00:18:08,674 --> 00:18:09,618 Sign number one. 428 00:18:09,674 --> 00:18:12,210 Daniel chapter twelve, verse four. 429 00:18:12,290 --> 00:18:13,698 I'm going to read it to you now. 430 00:18:13,834 --> 00:18:19,138 But you, Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll until 431 00:18:13,834 --> 00:18:20,630 the time of the end. 432 00:18:21,050 --> 00:18:25,630 Many will go back and forth and knowledge will increase. 433 00:18:26,170 --> 00:18:28,920 Now, there's two ways to interpret this scripture. 434 00:18:29,090 --> 00:18:30,720 The first way is this. 435 00:18:31,180 --> 00:18:35,540 Some people will say that this that the Lord was telling Daniel. 436 00:18:35,620 --> 00:18:39,956 Many people will go back and forth discussing the words that I've 437 00:18:35,620 --> 00:18:41,060 given you, Daniel. 438 00:18:41,180 --> 00:18:44,220 And knowledge will increase concerning the words that I've given 439 00:18:41,180 --> 00:18:44,932 to you, Daniel. 440 00:18:44,996 --> 00:18:46,548 That's one interpretation. 441 00:18:46,724 --> 00:18:49,972 But there's also many biblical scholars that interpret it to say, 442 00:18:46,724 --> 00:18:52,732 in the end times, knowledge will 443 00:18:46,724 --> 00:18:55,300 increase in the earth and many human 444 00:18:46,724 --> 00:18:57,452 beings will geographically travel 445 00:18:46,724 --> 00:18:58,534 back and forth. 446 00:18:58,692 --> 00:19:00,230 Now, let me ask you this. 447 00:19:00,730 --> 00:19:05,590 In our lifetime, has there been an exponential increase in knowledge? 448 00:19:06,370 --> 00:19:08,470 Yes, by virtue of technology. 449 00:19:09,010 --> 00:19:12,378 We have the Internet, we have Wikipedia, we have Google. 450 00:19:12,474 --> 00:19:14,834 Now we have the proliferation of AI. 451 00:19:14,962 --> 00:19:18,898 And so I would argue if that's the interpretation of Daniel chapter 452 00:19:14,962 --> 00:19:21,906 twelve, verse four, then we are seeing 453 00:19:14,962 --> 00:19:23,906 an exponential increase in knowledge. 454 00:19:23,978 --> 00:19:26,834 You know, the way it worked before the Internet is knowledge 455 00:19:23,978 --> 00:19:29,528 would sit in a book on a shelf. 456 00:19:29,624 --> 00:19:32,440 And if that book was destroyed, we lost that knowledge 457 00:19:29,624 --> 00:19:34,620 in an entire generation forever. 458 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,320 And so now we are seeing the increase of knowledge. 459 00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:39,504 Here's the other thing. 460 00:19:39,632 --> 00:19:44,672 Have we not seen a dramatic exponential increase in travel? 461 00:19:44,856 --> 00:19:47,224 You know, in the last four or five decades? 462 00:19:47,272 --> 00:19:49,152 Travel is not what it used to be. 463 00:19:49,176 --> 00:19:53,216 People would wear three piece suits to the airport and when you 464 00:19:49,176 --> 00:19:54,888 flew you would get a full course 465 00:19:49,176 --> 00:19:56,712 meal and there were people smoking cigarettes 466 00:19:49,176 --> 00:19:58,946 in the main cabin, living their best 467 00:19:49,176 --> 00:19:59,630 life. 468 00:20:00,410 --> 00:20:04,390 Now you get pretzels for going to another country. 469 00:20:05,410 --> 00:20:09,122 And my wife and pray for her, she even sometimes she'll say, why 470 00:20:05,410 --> 00:20:11,194 didn't we fly spirit airlines? 471 00:20:11,322 --> 00:20:14,030 And I tell her, because I don't want to become a spirit. 472 00:20:16,250 --> 00:20:18,298 We're paying more and getting less. 473 00:20:18,434 --> 00:20:21,394 And then if you pay for the budget, they got you on that Boeing 474 00:20:18,434 --> 00:20:23,630 plane on a one way ticket to Hades. 475 00:20:26,690 --> 00:20:31,190 But all joking aside, has travel increased in the earth? 476 00:20:31,530 --> 00:20:37,154 So if that is a sign in Daniel chapter twelve, then those signs 477 00:20:31,530 --> 00:20:39,690 are, they're collaborating. 478 00:20:39,850 --> 00:20:40,550 Now. 479 00:20:41,250 --> 00:20:43,562 Daniel chapter twelve verse eleven. 480 00:20:43,626 --> 00:20:48,458 This is sign number two, appearance of the abomination of 481 00:20:43,626 --> 00:20:49,430 desolation. 482 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,960 Appearance of the abomination of desolation. 483 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,832 This is Daniel chapter twelve, verse eleven. 484 00:20:55,896 --> 00:20:57,248 I'm going to read it to you now. 485 00:20:57,384 --> 00:21:02,488 From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination 486 00:20:57,384 --> 00:21:05,704 that causes desolation is set up, 487 00:20:57,384 --> 00:21:09,340 there will be 1290 days. 488 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:15,660 There is much speculation about this duration of days, 1290 489 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:17,460 what that means. 490 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,432 Now we're not going to get into that right now, but here's what 491 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,700 I am going to say. 492 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:31,536 The Nation of Israel has not been acknowledged as a sovereign 493 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:38,816 state since 70 ad before 1948. 494 00:21:39,008 --> 00:21:41,254 So let me hope that makes sense. 495 00:21:41,432 --> 00:21:48,682 So almost 2000 years passed from 70 ad when you have the destruction 496 00:21:41,432 --> 00:21:52,234 of that temple and that 70 ad, what 497 00:21:41,432 --> 00:21:57,466 happened all the way till 1948 when 498 00:21:41,432 --> 00:21:59,538 Israel was established as a sovereign 499 00:21:41,432 --> 00:22:00,190 state. 500 00:22:00,770 --> 00:22:05,594 Now here's the thing that is of the utmost importance when you 501 00:22:00,770 --> 00:22:08,434 know Daniel chapter ten, Daniel chapter 502 00:22:00,770 --> 00:22:10,906 eleven, revelation eleven and the 503 00:22:00,770 --> 00:22:13,350 role that Israel plays in the end 504 00:22:00,770 --> 00:22:15,382 times, 1948. 505 00:22:15,406 --> 00:22:18,758 Now if you're a child of the eighties and the nineties, you remember 506 00:22:15,406 --> 00:22:20,486 when everybody was afraid of the 507 00:22:15,406 --> 00:22:23,086 rapture and I had in my mind it could 508 00:22:15,406 --> 00:22:25,390 happen at any moment and my clothes 509 00:22:15,406 --> 00:22:26,870 were going to be left in a neatly 510 00:22:15,406 --> 00:22:30,910 folded pile, perfectly folded, right 511 00:22:15,406 --> 00:22:32,710 for my sin or mom, that was left 512 00:22:15,406 --> 00:22:32,950 behind. 513 00:22:32,990 --> 00:22:33,930 I'm just kidding. 514 00:22:35,550 --> 00:22:39,022 You know, we had that, we had that whole fear, and it was like, 515 00:22:35,550 --> 00:22:40,014 should I get married? 516 00:22:40,102 --> 00:22:42,302 You know, Rebecca and Kirk got married last week. 517 00:22:42,326 --> 00:22:44,094 They're like, we're not taking any chances. 518 00:22:44,262 --> 00:22:46,866 We're doing this before Jesus comes back. 519 00:22:47,018 --> 00:22:48,930 You guys are rapture ready. 520 00:22:49,090 --> 00:22:49,762 You did it. 521 00:22:49,786 --> 00:22:50,370 Praise God. 522 00:22:50,410 --> 00:22:52,230 He's like, jesus, you can come back now. 523 00:22:53,290 --> 00:22:55,562 But this is how it was growing up. 524 00:22:55,586 --> 00:22:58,642 And a lot of times people say, oh, you know, they were fanatical. 525 00:22:58,746 --> 00:23:01,970 But I want you to understand how you arrive be a little bit more 526 00:22:58,746 --> 00:23:04,282 empathetic to the crazy charismatics. 527 00:23:04,426 --> 00:23:09,042 Because what happened in 1948 when Israel became acknowledged as 528 00:23:04,426 --> 00:23:11,336 a sovereign state, was it fulfilled, 529 00:23:04,426 --> 00:23:12,740 filled many prophecies. 530 00:23:12,780 --> 00:23:17,108 There was a 2000 year gap until that moment. 531 00:23:17,244 --> 00:23:21,388 So it makes you understand a little bit more of the panic, you 532 00:23:17,244 --> 00:23:21,556 know. 533 00:23:21,588 --> 00:23:24,348 Now, of course, we need to counterbalance crazy charismatic 534 00:23:21,588 --> 00:23:27,764 theology, but at the same time, do you understand 535 00:23:21,588 --> 00:23:30,444 now how we get all this rapture narrative 536 00:23:21,588 --> 00:23:31,732 in our lifetime? 537 00:23:31,916 --> 00:23:36,480 Because what they were saying is that was a major undeniable fulfillment, 538 00:23:31,916 --> 00:23:39,054 that of Daniel ten, Daniel eleven, 539 00:23:31,916 --> 00:23:40,454 and Revelation eleven. 540 00:23:40,622 --> 00:23:44,158 And we've got to understand the implications it has for us. 541 00:23:44,294 --> 00:23:47,814 And that's how you get this whole, I mean, listen, we were scared 542 00:23:44,294 --> 00:23:49,438 into accepting Jesus. 543 00:23:49,614 --> 00:23:50,910 I'll just tell you straight up. 544 00:23:50,950 --> 00:23:52,854 I mean, a lot of it was fear based stuff. 545 00:23:52,942 --> 00:23:56,230 There's movies from back in those days where, you know, they 546 00:23:52,942 --> 00:23:58,710 recreate the story in revelation 547 00:23:52,942 --> 00:24:01,518 with the scorpion's tail that stings you and 548 00:23:52,942 --> 00:24:02,366 it lasts for months. 549 00:24:02,398 --> 00:24:04,730 And you see the big stinger comes out. 550 00:24:05,270 --> 00:24:08,866 You know, I've been trying to find those movies lately just to 551 00:24:05,270 --> 00:24:09,202 watch them. 552 00:24:09,226 --> 00:24:14,026 They were like christian horror films, you know, and we in 553 00:24:09,226 --> 00:24:15,218 the eighties and nineties, we're 554 00:24:09,226 --> 00:24:16,282 like, listen, you're gonna accept 555 00:24:09,226 --> 00:24:18,698 Jesus willfully or unwillfully, like 556 00:24:09,226 --> 00:24:21,018 by force and coercion and fear. 557 00:24:21,074 --> 00:24:24,218 You know, that's why we wrote reckless love of God in the next 558 00:24:21,074 --> 00:24:25,070 generation. 559 00:24:26,570 --> 00:24:28,010 Oh, he loves us. 560 00:24:28,050 --> 00:24:30,946 That's why Crowder wrote, he loves us just to remind ourselves, 561 00:24:28,050 --> 00:24:33,332 because we thought, any day it's like you're 562 00:24:28,050 --> 00:24:34,708 either going to get raptured or you're 563 00:24:28,050 --> 00:24:37,760 going to get left behind and ravished. 564 00:24:38,140 --> 00:24:40,908 And so why do I say that? 565 00:24:41,004 --> 00:24:43,316 Let's talk about the appearance of the abomination of 566 00:24:41,004 --> 00:24:44,200 desolation. 567 00:24:44,740 --> 00:24:49,560 It says from the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished. 568 00:24:50,020 --> 00:24:54,060 So, and then, and then the abomination that causes the desolation 569 00:24:50,020 --> 00:24:55,400 is set up. 570 00:24:55,700 --> 00:24:56,180 Okay? 571 00:24:56,220 --> 00:25:01,986 So I was privileged to go to Israel a couple of times and do tours 572 00:24:56,220 --> 00:25:04,914 and various things that like normal 573 00:24:56,220 --> 00:25:07,538 civilians don't get to actually experience, 574 00:24:56,220 --> 00:25:09,002 which is very cool. 575 00:25:09,186 --> 00:25:13,042 And one thing is, you can go to the Temple Mount, and this is 576 00:25:09,186 --> 00:25:16,882 the site of the temple that's mentioned, 577 00:25:09,186 --> 00:25:18,442 that obviously has been destroyed 578 00:25:09,186 --> 00:25:18,946 and rebuilt. 579 00:25:18,978 --> 00:25:20,074 Destroyed and rebuilt. 580 00:25:20,202 --> 00:25:23,618 But there is a group called the Temple Mount Institute, and you 581 00:25:20,202 --> 00:25:25,702 guys can research this on your own. 582 00:25:25,826 --> 00:25:31,598 But it's a group of jewish believers that are laboring to actually 583 00:25:25,826 --> 00:25:33,798 set everything up in preparation 584 00:25:25,826 --> 00:25:37,118 to reinstitute sacrifice in the temple. 585 00:25:37,294 --> 00:25:41,694 And I was able to do, like, a private tour of this facility on 586 00:25:37,294 --> 00:25:42,710 the Temple Mount. 587 00:25:42,830 --> 00:25:43,870 And they have through. 588 00:25:43,990 --> 00:25:48,090 It's behind very, very thick, bulletproof glass. 589 00:25:48,390 --> 00:25:50,926 And the whole time on this tour, they were saying, oh, this 590 00:25:48,390 --> 00:25:54,150 is a replica of the table of showbread. 591 00:25:54,270 --> 00:25:56,366 And this is, like, what it would have looked like. 592 00:25:56,398 --> 00:26:00,462 And this is a replica of the utensils that we would use in sacrificial 593 00:25:56,398 --> 00:26:00,942 system. 594 00:26:01,046 --> 00:26:02,470 And they took us all the way through this tour. 595 00:26:02,510 --> 00:26:04,622 Then we get to the end, and I get pulled aside, and they're like, 596 00:26:02,510 --> 00:26:05,750 okay, here's what we want to tell 597 00:26:02,510 --> 00:26:06,182 you. 598 00:26:06,286 --> 00:26:09,530 And I feel comfortable saying this publicly now. 599 00:26:09,870 --> 00:26:11,934 They said, here's the thing we want to tell you. 600 00:26:12,062 --> 00:26:13,770 These are not replicas. 601 00:26:14,430 --> 00:26:19,032 These are recreations that we intend to use when we re institute 602 00:26:14,430 --> 00:26:20,400 temple worship. 603 00:26:20,780 --> 00:26:24,860 And what you saw behind bulletproof glass is a preparation 604 00:26:20,780 --> 00:26:27,820 for the temple actually functioning again. 605 00:26:27,940 --> 00:26:30,880 How many of you remember when we walked through the book of Leviticus? 606 00:26:31,180 --> 00:26:34,332 Okay, now you see the journey I'm taking you on as your pastor. 607 00:26:34,476 --> 00:26:36,236 Imagine that happening again. 608 00:26:36,388 --> 00:26:38,372 Have you heard about the red heifers? 609 00:26:38,516 --> 00:26:40,044 Have you heard about what's happening? 610 00:26:40,132 --> 00:26:43,572 So, right now, the temple Institute, you'll go in under the 611 00:26:40,132 --> 00:26:44,828 guise of, oh, this is. 612 00:26:44,924 --> 00:26:47,766 This is the ephod and the things that were worn by the. 613 00:26:47,868 --> 00:26:48,690 The Levites. 614 00:26:48,730 --> 00:26:51,258 And then they take you aside, and they say, actually, that's not 615 00:26:48,730 --> 00:26:51,890 a recreation. 616 00:26:51,930 --> 00:26:53,670 We're just getting ready to wear it again. 617 00:26:54,810 --> 00:26:56,434 So this is. 618 00:26:56,562 --> 00:26:58,282 There is this acknowledgement. 619 00:26:58,346 --> 00:27:01,218 Even in Judaism, there's this acknowledgement. 620 00:27:01,274 --> 00:27:02,306 Many people now are. 621 00:27:02,378 --> 00:27:02,650 There's. 622 00:27:02,690 --> 00:27:03,130 There's something. 623 00:27:03,170 --> 00:27:05,322 We're kind of on the edge of our seat right now. 624 00:27:05,426 --> 00:27:10,546 So that's what this has to do with the abomination of desolation. 625 00:27:10,738 --> 00:27:15,662 Talks about this time before, but it also eludes to the Antichrist. 626 00:27:15,766 --> 00:27:16,894 So it's like the. 627 00:27:17,022 --> 00:27:20,142 It's a time where, essentially, daily sacrifice has 628 00:27:17,022 --> 00:27:22,766 been abolished, but then this abomination 629 00:27:17,022 --> 00:27:24,798 that causes desolation is set up 630 00:27:17,022 --> 00:27:25,598 in its place. 631 00:27:25,734 --> 00:27:29,118 And right now, we're in between those times, and now we have 632 00:27:25,734 --> 00:27:29,966 the Antichrist. 633 00:27:29,998 --> 00:27:31,566 So let's talk about the Antichrist. 634 00:27:31,638 --> 00:27:34,210 And please don't say out loud who you think it is. 635 00:27:35,750 --> 00:27:36,230 Okay? 636 00:27:36,270 --> 00:27:40,930 But number three, this is sign number three, the rise of the Antichrist. 637 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,232 In Daniel chapter twelve, verse seven, remember, we're in the 638 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:46,944 12th chapter of Daniel for a time, 639 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:49,872 times and half a time, the holy people 640 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:52,340 will be delivered into his hands. 641 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:57,280 Then in Daniel chapter twelve, verse seven, and then in chapter 642 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:59,824 eleven, it alludes to the Antichrist's 643 00:27:53,080 --> 00:28:02,496 reign and during which God's people are 644 00:27:53,080 --> 00:28:03,992 facing persecution. 645 00:28:04,136 --> 00:28:06,040 Now, I get this question all the time. 646 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,194 Pastor Mike, who is the Antichrist? 647 00:28:08,352 --> 00:28:09,310 How will we know? 648 00:28:09,390 --> 00:28:10,662 This is another question I get. 649 00:28:10,686 --> 00:28:12,966 My inbox is flooded with these questions. 650 00:28:13,078 --> 00:28:17,010 Pastor Mike, is the Antichrist alive today? 651 00:28:17,590 --> 00:28:20,534 I want to respond to a question with a question, and I believe 652 00:28:17,590 --> 00:28:22,250 my question is a better question. 653 00:28:23,310 --> 00:28:29,374 Is the Antichrist system, or at least the precursor to that system 654 00:28:23,310 --> 00:28:30,610 in the earth today? 655 00:28:30,990 --> 00:28:33,486 Okay, you got a lot of christians on the front row shouting, 656 00:28:30,990 --> 00:28:35,170 yes, here, New York. 657 00:28:35,250 --> 00:28:39,434 So the real question is, and then for those of you who are confused, 658 00:28:35,250 --> 00:28:43,030 what is the system of the Antichrist? 659 00:28:43,690 --> 00:28:47,030 It is a system of false unity. 660 00:28:48,330 --> 00:28:50,618 It's a system of false unity. 661 00:28:50,794 --> 00:28:52,666 And let me explain why. 662 00:28:52,818 --> 00:28:55,750 Satan is not a creator. 663 00:28:56,730 --> 00:29:02,020 We serve God, the creator, and then Satan is the emulator, right? 664 00:29:02,180 --> 00:29:07,108 So what he does is he perverts and distorts the original design 665 00:29:02,180 --> 00:29:07,580 of God. 666 00:29:07,620 --> 00:29:11,436 So watch, Jesus dies on the cross, he's resurrected. 667 00:29:11,468 --> 00:29:14,196 Three days later, he ascends to heaven. 668 00:29:14,308 --> 00:29:18,244 They meet in the upper room in one mind and one accord, and then 669 00:29:14,308 --> 00:29:20,348 as a result of that unity, the Holy 670 00:29:14,308 --> 00:29:21,484 Spirit descends. 671 00:29:21,572 --> 00:29:25,252 And we know that Christ is interceding on our behalf, that we 672 00:29:21,572 --> 00:29:26,300 would be one. 673 00:29:26,460 --> 00:29:30,556 So we know that Christ wants his body, his bride to be. 674 00:29:30,588 --> 00:29:31,662 What one? 675 00:29:31,766 --> 00:29:32,830 That's unity. 676 00:29:32,990 --> 00:29:36,982 So Satan is not going to come and bring division because he's a 677 00:29:32,990 --> 00:29:37,662 counterfeiter. 678 00:29:37,726 --> 00:29:39,690 He's going to bring false unity. 679 00:29:40,110 --> 00:29:41,790 So that's why he. 680 00:29:41,870 --> 00:29:43,006 Because he's the. 681 00:29:43,158 --> 00:29:47,430 I'm just going to go there because he's the prince of the power 682 00:29:43,158 --> 00:29:48,890 of the air. 683 00:29:50,030 --> 00:29:55,174 And because that he was partially over music, he's going 684 00:29:50,030 --> 00:29:57,822 to get together all of his minions that 685 00:29:50,030 --> 00:29:59,854 are celebrities and write a song. 686 00:29:59,902 --> 00:30:01,254 He gets everybody singing. 687 00:30:01,302 --> 00:30:02,730 We are the world. 688 00:30:04,010 --> 00:30:07,866 We are the world is one of the most demonically influenced songs 689 00:30:04,010 --> 00:30:09,430 that's ever existed. 690 00:30:09,810 --> 00:30:10,354 And the. 691 00:30:10,402 --> 00:30:15,242 And the agenda of we are the world has infiltrated every continent 692 00:30:10,402 --> 00:30:16,386 and every planet. 693 00:30:16,498 --> 00:30:19,310 And what we want so bad is unity. 694 00:30:19,730 --> 00:30:23,746 But Jesus, while he was alive, said that when you speak this message 695 00:30:19,730 --> 00:30:25,610 of the gospel, it's going to be a 696 00:30:19,730 --> 00:30:28,590 sword that even divides blood families. 697 00:30:29,610 --> 00:30:32,930 And so it's crazy because you have christians singing we are the 698 00:30:29,610 --> 00:30:34,746 world, but we don't sound nothing 699 00:30:29,610 --> 00:30:36,818 like Christ, who said, sometimes when 700 00:30:29,610 --> 00:30:38,990 you preach the truth, it's going to divide. 701 00:30:39,970 --> 00:30:44,690 So the reason why I got to say this is because false unity is the 702 00:30:39,970 --> 00:30:47,266 precursor to the Antichrist system. 703 00:30:47,458 --> 00:30:50,298 And you got people that write about me on Reddit. 704 00:30:50,394 --> 00:30:53,146 I can't attend his church anymore because he's always talking 705 00:30:50,394 --> 00:30:55,118 about Islam, because he's always 706 00:30:50,394 --> 00:30:58,326 calling out LGBTQIA, because he's 707 00:30:50,394 --> 00:31:00,382 always talking about gender confusion. 708 00:31:00,486 --> 00:31:02,822 I can't attend his church because he's so mean. 709 00:31:02,926 --> 00:31:08,294 No, the most compassionate thing I can do is tell the truth 710 00:31:02,926 --> 00:31:09,926 about God's original design. 711 00:31:09,998 --> 00:31:11,970 In a world full of deception. 712 00:31:12,350 --> 00:31:16,238 The most loving thing I can do is tell you the truth about your 713 00:31:12,350 --> 00:31:18,526 sexuality to a generation that's 714 00:31:12,350 --> 00:31:20,942 been brainwashed by pornography, and you 715 00:31:12,350 --> 00:31:22,526 know more about porn than you know 716 00:31:12,350 --> 00:31:24,454 about the Bible, and you don't understand 717 00:31:12,350 --> 00:31:26,566 what God has to say about what's 718 00:31:12,350 --> 00:31:32,302 between your ears and your legs because 719 00:31:12,350 --> 00:31:35,486 he created both, but both were perverted 720 00:31:12,350 --> 00:31:37,050 by the devil. 721 00:31:37,750 --> 00:31:39,238 And this is the thing I'm saying. 722 00:31:39,334 --> 00:31:42,246 It's like, Pastor Mike, can't we just get along with Islam? 723 00:31:42,358 --> 00:31:47,454 No, because they say that he's a prophet and we say he's the messiah. 724 00:31:47,542 --> 00:31:51,230 And so in order for us to have unity, somebody's got a compromise, 725 00:31:47,542 --> 00:31:53,070 and I don't think it's going to be them. 726 00:31:53,150 --> 00:31:55,662 But I'm here to tell you from New York City, it ain't going to 727 00:31:53,150 --> 00:31:56,238 be me. 728 00:31:56,334 --> 00:32:01,690 I know that Jesus is who he said he is, but I get what you're 729 00:31:56,334 --> 00:32:03,354 saying, Pastor Mike, but can't we. 730 00:32:03,442 --> 00:32:06,722 No, fundamentally, we can't, because if they're holding hands 731 00:32:03,442 --> 00:32:08,322 with the devil and you hold hands with 732 00:32:03,442 --> 00:32:09,602 them, you're holding hands with the 733 00:32:03,442 --> 00:32:10,990 devil by proxy. 734 00:32:13,090 --> 00:32:20,074 And when you speak the truth, then what happens is the gospel, 735 00:32:13,090 --> 00:32:23,394 like, a seed, is deposited, and the Bible 736 00:32:13,090 --> 00:32:25,760 says sometimes that seed is robbed. 737 00:32:26,140 --> 00:32:29,796 Sometimes that seed is sown among thistles and thorns and it 738 00:32:26,140 --> 00:32:31,060 never gets planted in. 739 00:32:31,140 --> 00:32:35,436 But sometimes that seed goes into a muslim heart and turns them 740 00:32:31,140 --> 00:32:36,484 into a Christian. 741 00:32:36,612 --> 00:32:40,316 Sometimes that seed goes into a gay heart and turns it straight. 742 00:32:40,428 --> 00:32:44,388 Sometimes that seed goes into a transgender heart and turns them 743 00:32:40,428 --> 00:32:46,444 back to a man, back to a woman. 744 00:32:46,532 --> 00:32:49,852 And so stop telling me what God can do with a seed. 745 00:32:49,956 --> 00:32:52,804 I know the power of the seed of the gospel. 746 00:32:52,892 --> 00:32:54,708 Oh, but I was born this way. 747 00:32:54,804 --> 00:32:56,448 Yeah, be born again. 748 00:32:56,604 --> 00:32:58,616 We all got to be born again. 749 00:32:58,768 --> 00:33:01,352 That's the truth of the word of God. 750 00:33:01,536 --> 00:33:05,560 So be careful singing we are the world because the whole world 751 00:33:01,536 --> 00:33:08,140 is going to hell without the gospel. 752 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,820 Who is the antichrist? 753 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,820 Just be concerned that you are not participating in his system, 754 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:22,220 because even the elect will be deceived. 755 00:33:22,870 --> 00:33:25,542 Be very, very careful, man. 756 00:33:25,566 --> 00:33:27,290 I feel the anointing on this. 757 00:33:28,270 --> 00:33:30,570 I love teaching about the end times. 758 00:33:30,990 --> 00:33:34,846 I don't know when, but the frequency, the intensity and the 759 00:33:30,990 --> 00:33:36,534 duration of the contractions are 760 00:33:30,990 --> 00:33:37,370 increasing. 761 00:33:37,830 --> 00:33:39,518 And I don't know when. 762 00:33:39,574 --> 00:33:40,470 Nobody knows when. 763 00:33:40,510 --> 00:33:41,390 Nobody knows the day. 764 00:33:41,430 --> 00:33:43,630 Don't believe them if they say they do, because they'll be wrong. 765 00:33:43,670 --> 00:33:46,670 Because everybody's been wrong so far, and they'll be wrong. 766 00:33:46,830 --> 00:33:49,446 But I will tell you, there are signs. 767 00:33:49,638 --> 00:33:51,210 Here's sign number four. 768 00:33:52,110 --> 00:33:54,462 This is Daniel, chapter twelve, verse one. 769 00:33:54,606 --> 00:33:58,462 There will be a time of distress such as not happened from 770 00:33:54,606 --> 00:34:00,046 the beginning of the nations until 771 00:33:54,606 --> 00:34:00,730 now. 772 00:34:01,470 --> 00:34:04,030 Great tribulation and great persecution. 773 00:34:04,190 --> 00:34:07,330 Something's happening amongst Gen Z. 774 00:34:08,510 --> 00:34:11,050 I believe the z stands for zeal. 775 00:34:11,990 --> 00:34:14,038 Gen Z for zeal. 776 00:34:14,094 --> 00:34:15,650 Zeal for God's house. 777 00:34:16,169 --> 00:34:18,233 Zeal for the things of the Lord. 778 00:34:18,401 --> 00:34:20,961 And, you know, I've been watching these viral videos where 779 00:34:18,401 --> 00:34:23,337 Gen Z is, like, pretending to interview 780 00:34:18,401 --> 00:34:24,945 themselves as if somebody else is 781 00:34:18,401 --> 00:34:25,793 interviewing them. 782 00:34:25,881 --> 00:34:27,249 And it's like they're at work. 783 00:34:27,289 --> 00:34:31,673 And the viral videos are the Gen Z saying, hey, I'm a Christian. 784 00:34:31,761 --> 00:34:34,193 And then the person is saying, oh, that's crazy. 785 00:34:34,241 --> 00:34:35,481 I never knew that. 786 00:34:35,625 --> 00:34:36,649 I didn't know. 787 00:34:36,769 --> 00:34:40,585 And then the Gen Z has this look on their face, like, of disappointment 788 00:34:36,769 --> 00:34:41,549 in themselves. 789 00:34:41,899 --> 00:34:44,763 And I was watching video after video of this, and I said, Lord, 790 00:34:41,899 --> 00:34:46,155 why are they making these videos? 791 00:34:46,187 --> 00:34:49,403 Like, what is happening that's causing many of them to make these 792 00:34:46,187 --> 00:34:49,939 videos? 793 00:34:50,019 --> 00:34:53,307 And the Lord says, I'm convicting them, and I'm bringing 794 00:34:50,019 --> 00:34:56,107 them to a place of boldness so that they'll 795 00:34:50,019 --> 00:34:59,515 stand in a broken world and unapologetically 796 00:34:50,019 --> 00:35:00,759 stand for me. 797 00:35:01,539 --> 00:35:03,075 Because what it is, it's so pure. 798 00:35:03,107 --> 00:35:06,559 What's coming out of that generation is they're basically saying, 799 00:35:03,107 --> 00:35:10,304 how can we work a job and live around 800 00:35:03,107 --> 00:35:12,584 people who never knew that we were 801 00:35:03,107 --> 00:35:13,420 christians? 802 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:19,820 And so let me just tell you right now, this is sign number five. 803 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:21,760 Sign number five. 804 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:27,680 In Daniel chapter twelve, verses two and three is multitudes 805 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:29,544 who sleep in the dust of the earth will 806 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:33,016 awake, and some to everlasting life, 807 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:34,736 and others to shame and everlasting 808 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:35,340 content. 809 00:35:36,420 --> 00:35:39,804 See, what happened was when you guys were given the narrative, 810 00:35:36,420 --> 00:35:42,932 the dead in Christ will rise first if 811 00:35:36,420 --> 00:35:44,612 you don't read Daniel chapter twelve. 812 00:35:44,676 --> 00:35:47,644 Sometimes people think of the resurrection being for christians, 813 00:35:44,676 --> 00:35:50,040 not for non christians. 814 00:35:50,620 --> 00:35:52,452 But here's the good news. 815 00:35:52,476 --> 00:35:53,660 But I'm going to give you better news. 816 00:35:53,700 --> 00:35:55,680 The good news is you're all eternal. 817 00:35:56,780 --> 00:36:00,220 The Muslims are eternal, the Hindus are eternal, the atheists 818 00:35:56,780 --> 00:36:02,744 are eternal even though they don't understand. 819 00:36:02,832 --> 00:36:04,520 And they think that it's quantum. 820 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,832 And they think that maybe there's some vibration that leaves 821 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:09,856 their body when it's over at best. 822 00:36:10,048 --> 00:36:12,680 Or that consciousness lives on as plasma. 823 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:19,072 Y'all listen, I put my tinfoil hat on a couple times a week, but 824 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:20,696 let me just tell you, you're all 825 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:23,976 eternal and you're all going to be 826 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:24,980 resurrected. 827 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:30,346 But the Bible says every knee will bow and every tongue will confess 828 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:32,634 that Jesus Christ is savior. 829 00:36:32,802 --> 00:36:33,994 But see what happens. 830 00:36:34,042 --> 00:36:38,266 And the way that God told it to Daniel is different than the Kirk 831 00:36:34,042 --> 00:36:40,026 Cameron movie experience that we've 832 00:36:34,042 --> 00:36:40,490 seen. 833 00:36:40,610 --> 00:36:44,410 What he says is when this resurrection happens, some to everlasting 834 00:36:40,610 --> 00:36:48,150 life, I really believe this. 835 00:36:49,170 --> 00:36:52,750 And some to shape, I believe you're going to be looking. 836 00:36:53,170 --> 00:36:56,580 There's Mike, there's my pastor. 837 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,672 There's Julie, there's Steph. 838 00:36:59,736 --> 00:37:00,340 Look. 839 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,064 There's Harvey and Jess. 840 00:37:02,152 --> 00:37:04,380 Look, look. 841 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,656 But then you're going to see that person you told the gospel to 842 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,608 at your job that said that you were 843 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:11,380 a crazy person in a cult. 844 00:37:12,720 --> 00:37:16,680 And it says some are going to be resurrected to everlasting life 845 00:37:12,720 --> 00:37:18,900 and some to everlasting contempt. 846 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:26,094 Oh, woe to those who wake up on Resurrection day realizing that 847 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:27,838 everything the crazy Christian on 848 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:29,650 their job said was true. 849 00:37:30,710 --> 00:37:33,502 I spent my whole life researching this because I didn't 850 00:37:30,710 --> 00:37:35,170 want my life to be a waste. 851 00:37:35,710 --> 00:37:38,570 And what I'm telling you I believe to be the truth. 852 00:37:40,830 --> 00:37:42,730 Here's the only thing we can control. 853 00:37:44,310 --> 00:37:47,290 Remember I said, let's go back to Matthew chapter 24. 854 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,500 Okay, let's go back to Matthew chapter 24. 855 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,376 Because when the disciples were asking Jesus, how do we know 856 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:55,660 we're in the end times? 857 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,976 I believe Jesus gave them the most important answer, and we haven't 858 00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,464 read it yet. 859 00:38:00,512 --> 00:38:01,600 Let's look at it now. 860 00:38:01,720 --> 00:38:03,260 Matthew 20 414. 861 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:09,312 And this gospel, the good news, that the kingdom will be proclaimed 862 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:11,608 throughout the whole world as testimony 863 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:15,562 to all nations, and then the end 864 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:16,618 will come. 865 00:38:16,754 --> 00:38:21,130 It was almost as if Jesus was saying, you can't control when nations 866 00:38:16,754 --> 00:38:24,522 go to war, you can't control famine, 867 00:38:16,754 --> 00:38:25,210 you can't. 868 00:38:25,250 --> 00:38:28,618 No matter how hard you try, you can't control earthquakes. 869 00:38:28,794 --> 00:38:33,114 But the one variable I'll give you is you can preach the gospel 870 00:38:28,794 --> 00:38:34,490 to all nations. 871 00:38:34,610 --> 00:38:38,884 And when the gospel is proclaimed to all nations, then the 872 00:38:34,610 --> 00:38:39,956 end will come. 873 00:38:40,068 --> 00:38:42,932 So the question is not, are we in the end times? 874 00:38:43,076 --> 00:38:46,588 The question is, are we united to bring the end? 875 00:38:46,724 --> 00:38:49,972 Will we preach the gospel to everybody. 876 00:38:50,076 --> 00:38:54,572 Will we be a global voice of the gospel to all nations and say 877 00:38:50,076 --> 00:38:56,132 God through the Internet? 878 00:38:56,196 --> 00:39:00,124 If you're watching live right now, your share is one of the most 879 00:38:56,196 --> 00:39:01,644 important things you can do. 880 00:39:01,732 --> 00:39:04,772 You're not sharing, so we get social media famous. 881 00:39:04,876 --> 00:39:08,860 You're sharing to make Jesus famous in nations that don't know 882 00:39:04,876 --> 00:39:09,292 him. 883 00:39:09,396 --> 00:39:12,572 You're one of the most important campuses we have because 884 00:39:09,396 --> 00:39:14,500 the Internet can go where we can't go. 885 00:39:14,540 --> 00:39:15,940 In this building right now. 886 00:39:16,060 --> 00:39:20,000 I say let's be a global voice of the gospel to all people. 887 00:39:23,660 --> 00:39:32,040 Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me 888 00:39:23,660 --> 00:39:36,130 I once was lost but now I'm found 889 00:39:23,660 --> 00:39:42,158 I once was blind but now I see twas 890 00:39:23,660 --> 00:39:48,890 grace come on. 891 00:39:49,270 --> 00:39:51,050 What else are you living for? 892 00:39:52,310 --> 00:39:56,222 He said, when the gospel is proclaimed throughout the whole world 893 00:39:52,310 --> 00:39:58,920 as a testimony to nations, then the 894 00:39:52,310 --> 00:40:00,180 end will come. 895 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,300 The Antichrist is not in control of the end. 896 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,312 Did you hear what I just said? 897 00:40:07,456 --> 00:40:10,672 The Antichrist isn't in control of the end. 898 00:40:10,856 --> 00:40:14,740 All of them are pawns being pimped by God. 899 00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:19,592 Because what's happening is there's a separation between the 900 00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:21,576 sheep and the goat, the saints from 901 00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:23,934 the ants, the wheat from the tarez. 902 00:40:24,012 --> 00:40:26,426 And the question that every single one of you listening across 903 00:40:24,012 --> 00:40:28,530 every campus have to ask for yourself 904 00:40:24,012 --> 00:40:30,110 is, which one are you? 905 00:40:30,690 --> 00:40:33,426 Are you a son or a daughter of the king? 906 00:40:33,578 --> 00:40:35,866 Or are you a son or daughter of Satan? 907 00:40:36,018 --> 00:40:37,870 There's no Muslims in hell. 908 00:40:39,730 --> 00:40:41,630 There's no atheists in hell. 909 00:40:42,770 --> 00:40:44,790 There's no agnostics in hell. 910 00:40:46,730 --> 00:40:49,350 There's just sons and daughters of Satan in hell. 911 00:40:49,820 --> 00:40:54,412 And he cloaked every idolatry to become a deception to get them 912 00:40:49,820 --> 00:40:55,360 to go there. 913 00:40:56,660 --> 00:40:59,560 There's no Presbyterians in heaven. 914 00:41:00,060 --> 00:41:02,080 There's no Methodists in heaven. 915 00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:04,692 There's no Pentecostals in heaven. 916 00:41:04,876 --> 00:41:08,548 There are sons and daughters in heaven, sons and daughters of 917 00:41:04,876 --> 00:41:09,348 the king. 918 00:41:09,524 --> 00:41:12,360 I feel something settling in my soul right now. 919 00:41:12,740 --> 00:41:14,880 I want you to stand to your feet with me. 920 00:41:16,990 --> 00:41:21,662 In Daniel, chapter twelve, verse 13, he says, but go your way 921 00:41:16,990 --> 00:41:25,090 till the end, and you shall rest 922 00:41:16,990 --> 00:41:27,094 and shall stand in your. 923 00:41:27,142 --> 00:41:27,422 Ooh. 924 00:41:27,446 --> 00:41:29,410 I feel the power of God on that. 925 00:41:31,550 --> 00:41:32,970 Can you imagine? 926 00:41:33,550 --> 00:41:37,450 Daniel was literally castrated by Babylon. 927 00:41:37,830 --> 00:41:42,192 The babylonian structure always castrates strong mendenna, 928 00:41:37,830 --> 00:41:44,572 the transgender spirit, is the spirit 929 00:41:37,830 --> 00:41:45,836 of Babylon. 930 00:41:46,028 --> 00:41:49,740 People don't understand when Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, when 931 00:41:46,028 --> 00:41:51,396 Daniel, when you interacted with 932 00:41:46,028 --> 00:41:54,600 Babylon, you got physically castrated 933 00:41:46,028 --> 00:41:56,940 because the devil hates when the 934 00:41:46,028 --> 00:41:58,560 righteous multiply. 935 00:41:58,980 --> 00:42:01,596 That's why on Long island, when they say that churches should 936 00:41:58,980 --> 00:42:03,364 be small, because they preach the true 937 00:41:58,980 --> 00:42:04,036 gospel. 938 00:42:04,148 --> 00:42:06,804 That in and of itself is a demonic doctrine. 939 00:42:06,892 --> 00:42:09,604 Because healthy things always multiply. 940 00:42:09,732 --> 00:42:11,658 Because he's the God of abundance. 941 00:42:11,764 --> 00:42:16,610 And he told Adam and Eve in the garden, be fruitful and multiply. 942 00:42:16,910 --> 00:42:19,374 This church will never be too big. 943 00:42:19,542 --> 00:42:22,510 It's impossible for any church to be too big. 944 00:42:22,590 --> 00:42:26,622 That's preaching the gospel, because multiplication is the fruit 945 00:42:22,590 --> 00:42:28,462 of the thing that God called us to 946 00:42:22,590 --> 00:42:29,050 do. 947 00:42:30,470 --> 00:42:32,450 But Daniel was castrated. 948 00:42:33,230 --> 00:42:36,014 Daniel never saw the fulfillment of anything that God 949 00:42:33,230 --> 00:42:37,050 spoke to him. 950 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,816 Daniel was confused by the things God told him because he didn't 951 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:44,312 understand what I think about Daniel. 952 00:42:44,456 --> 00:42:48,260 I feel such great empathy for him, because what a powerful servant. 953 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:50,832 Daniel and the lion's den. 954 00:42:50,976 --> 00:42:53,660 The lion's den was an easy day for Daniel. 955 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:58,176 Y'all learned about the lion's den, but did you color the coloring 956 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:59,740 book page of the castration? 957 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,592 See, what happens when you're biblically illiterate is you think 958 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:07,700 that Christianity is a fairy tale. 959 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,872 No, the Bible is not the story of what happened. 960 00:43:10,896 --> 00:43:12,940 It's the story of what always happens. 961 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:21,024 Molech and Baal sacrificed babies, and we're still sacrificing 962 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:22,060 babies today. 963 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,904 The transgender movement is castrating, and we're still castrating 964 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:26,376 today. 965 00:43:26,488 --> 00:43:31,820 It's ancient demons and new days rebranded just because the devil 966 00:43:26,488 --> 00:43:32,644 does a rebrand. 967 00:43:32,692 --> 00:43:33,804 Don't fall for it. 968 00:43:33,892 --> 00:43:35,924 It's a new logo, but the same product. 969 00:43:36,012 --> 00:43:39,028 When you take it, it's arsenic for your soul, and you'll die and 970 00:43:36,012 --> 00:43:39,960 go to hell. 971 00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:44,268 I just feel the power of God on this because the question that 972 00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:46,812 was asked of Daniel, let me read 973 00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:47,300 it to you. 974 00:43:47,340 --> 00:43:48,316 It's a command. 975 00:43:48,468 --> 00:43:51,628 This is one of the most powerful scriptures in all 66 books 976 00:43:48,468 --> 00:43:52,480 of the Bible. 977 00:43:52,980 --> 00:43:55,084 But go your way till the end. 978 00:43:55,172 --> 00:43:57,760 Somebody just whisper those words until the end. 979 00:43:58,420 --> 00:44:02,476 And you shall rest, and you shall stand in your allotted place 980 00:43:58,420 --> 00:44:04,120 at the end of the days. 981 00:44:04,500 --> 00:44:05,228 This is like. 982 00:44:05,284 --> 00:44:06,652 Almost like what God was saying was. 983 00:44:06,676 --> 00:44:08,400 Daniel, I know you don't understand. 984 00:44:08,860 --> 00:44:11,436 I know this all doesn't make sense to you, and you were faithful 985 00:44:08,860 --> 00:44:12,668 to write it down, and you'll get it 986 00:44:08,860 --> 00:44:14,900 to the generations, but just be faithful 987 00:44:08,860 --> 00:44:17,180 to the end, and then you'll find 988 00:44:08,860 --> 00:44:20,356 rest, and then you'll find your allotted 989 00:44:08,860 --> 00:44:20,604 place. 990 00:44:20,652 --> 00:44:24,076 The reason why I got emotional is because in revelation, chapter 991 00:44:20,652 --> 00:44:26,206 seven, verses nine and ten, this 992 00:44:20,652 --> 00:44:28,690 is the final place for every believer. 993 00:44:29,150 --> 00:44:32,926 After that, I looked and behold a great multitude that no 994 00:44:29,150 --> 00:44:33,790 one could number. 995 00:44:33,910 --> 00:44:37,758 From every nation, from all tribes and all peoples and languages, 996 00:44:33,910 --> 00:44:40,070 standing before the throne and before 997 00:44:33,910 --> 00:44:42,470 the lamb, clothed in white robes 998 00:44:33,910 --> 00:44:45,054 and palm branches in their hands and 999 00:44:33,910 --> 00:44:47,574 crying out loud with the voice, salvation 1000 00:44:33,910 --> 00:44:50,582 belongs to our God who sits on the 1001 00:44:33,910 --> 00:44:51,850 throne and the lamb. 1002 00:44:51,970 --> 00:44:55,522 If you are a Christian, every single one of you who hear me, you 1003 00:44:51,970 --> 00:44:57,402 are in the Bible, and you may not 1004 00:44:51,970 --> 00:44:59,330 be mentioned by name, but you are 1005 00:44:51,970 --> 00:45:00,138 in that moment. 1006 00:45:00,194 --> 00:45:04,074 Revelation, chapter seven, verse nine is a future prophecy. 1007 00:45:04,162 --> 00:45:07,754 And if you are a believer, I just read, you're one of those people 1008 00:45:04,162 --> 00:45:11,314 in the white robe, and you made it 1009 00:45:04,162 --> 00:45:12,710 to your destination. 1010 00:45:13,410 --> 00:45:17,174 You're one of those people in the white robe declaring, listen, 1011 00:45:13,410 --> 00:45:21,254 there was a very high level terrorist that 1012 00:45:13,410 --> 00:45:23,410 heard the gospel and denied it recently. 1013 00:45:24,230 --> 00:45:26,170 And all of a sudden, he died. 1014 00:45:26,910 --> 00:45:31,290 And an angel took him to heaven after he first visited hell. 1015 00:45:31,670 --> 00:45:35,398 And when he was in heaven, he heard them crying the word Hosanna. 1016 00:45:35,574 --> 00:45:38,810 He had never heard the word Hosanna his entire life. 1017 00:45:39,790 --> 00:45:44,184 After he came back from the dead, he's in a muslim hospital, 1018 00:45:39,790 --> 00:45:46,760 and he was screaming, what does Hosanna 1019 00:45:39,790 --> 00:45:47,240 mean? 1020 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:48,464 What is Hosanna? 1021 00:45:48,512 --> 00:45:49,840 What is Hosanna? 1022 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:50,712 I heard them. 1023 00:45:50,776 --> 00:45:55,460 I was in paradise, and I heard them saying Hosanna around a throne. 1024 00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,208 And they sedated him because they thought he lost his mind and 1025 00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:01,260 went crazy. 1026 00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,672 These stories I can tell by the dozens, but we don't have the 1027 00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:07,260 time. 1028 00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:08,568 Heaven is real. 1029 00:46:08,624 --> 00:46:09,660 Hell is real. 1030 00:46:09,990 --> 00:46:13,870 But your final destination is revelation, chapter seven, verse 1031 00:46:09,990 --> 00:46:14,918 nine and ten. 1032 00:46:15,094 --> 00:46:17,390 To show up in a white robe which represents. 1033 00:46:17,430 --> 00:46:22,070 You accepted the sacrifice of Jesus, and you're waving a palm branch 1034 00:46:17,430 --> 00:46:23,810 which represents victory. 1035 00:46:24,310 --> 00:46:27,238 Palm branches get waved to represent the checkered flag. 1036 00:46:27,294 --> 00:46:29,810 The race is over, and we won. 1037 00:46:30,630 --> 00:46:32,210 It was worth the fight. 1038 00:46:32,590 --> 00:46:36,518 It was worth every finance you gave to the local church to open 1039 00:46:32,590 --> 00:46:38,806 up venues, to bring in drug addicts 1040 00:46:32,590 --> 00:46:40,542 and those on the verge of divorce and 1041 00:46:32,590 --> 00:46:41,966 those who were confused about their 1042 00:46:32,590 --> 00:46:42,558 identity. 1043 00:46:42,654 --> 00:46:45,902 It was worth all the time that you prayed when you didn't want to 1044 00:46:42,654 --> 00:46:46,294 pray. 1045 00:46:46,382 --> 00:46:50,166 It was worth all the time that you boldly told the gospel even though 1046 00:46:46,382 --> 00:46:51,526 your hands were shaking. 1047 00:46:51,638 --> 00:46:55,414 It was worth the time that you got up in worship while the world 1048 00:46:51,638 --> 00:46:56,454 was falling apart. 1049 00:46:56,542 --> 00:46:58,982 And when we have that palm branch, I'm going to look at you, 1050 00:46:56,542 --> 00:47:00,054 and you're going to look at me and 1051 00:46:56,542 --> 00:47:01,126 I'm going to say, man, your teeth 1052 00:46:56,542 --> 00:47:01,910 look amazing. 1053 00:47:01,990 --> 00:47:03,670 And I'm going to say, do you like my hair? 1054 00:47:03,710 --> 00:47:04,694 It looks so good. 1055 00:47:04,782 --> 00:47:06,054 And we're going to say, we won. 1056 00:47:06,102 --> 00:47:06,662 We did it. 1057 00:47:06,686 --> 00:47:07,598 It was worth it. 1058 00:47:07,654 --> 00:47:08,750 Wasn't it worth it? 1059 00:47:08,830 --> 00:47:11,334 And then I would say to you, would you do it again? 1060 00:47:11,462 --> 00:47:14,518 Would you set that church up in a movie theater with me again? 1061 00:47:14,574 --> 00:47:15,630 If you had to? 1062 00:47:15,750 --> 00:47:18,878 Would you come into that place in New Jersey and do it again. 1063 00:47:19,014 --> 00:47:22,702 Would you wake up early again so more people could be here with 1064 00:47:19,014 --> 00:47:24,278 the Palm branch in their hand? 1065 00:47:24,374 --> 00:47:27,614 Would you give more of your finances if you could do it again? 1066 00:47:27,742 --> 00:47:31,252 And we would all say, yes, I would do it again, and I would go 1067 00:47:27,742 --> 00:47:32,140 deeper. 1068 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,220 So let me ask you this question. 1069 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:39,216 Who here needs to accept Christ across every location? 1070 00:47:39,288 --> 00:47:42,312 Lift your hand if you need to accept Jesus as your savior? 1071 00:47:42,416 --> 00:47:43,648 Who's hearing me talk? 1072 00:47:43,744 --> 00:47:47,000 And you realize that you have not accepted Jesus and you've just 1073 00:47:43,744 --> 00:47:48,512 been going through the motions and 1074 00:47:43,744 --> 00:47:49,952 you're just a church attender, but 1075 00:47:43,744 --> 00:47:50,776 you don't know Jesus. 1076 00:47:50,808 --> 00:47:51,760 Just lift up your hand. 1077 00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:53,380 Who wants to accept Jesus? 1078 00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:54,464 Come on. 1079 00:47:54,512 --> 00:47:56,352 Anybody cross any location? 1080 00:47:56,416 --> 00:47:57,540 Lift up your hand. 1081 00:47:59,900 --> 00:48:02,000 How many of you are deeply convicted? 1082 00:48:02,940 --> 00:48:05,600 Both hands and a foot. 1083 00:48:08,060 --> 00:48:10,260 We're going to pray the sinner's prayer together, which is 1084 00:48:08,060 --> 00:48:12,120 Romans chapter ten, verse nine. 1085 00:48:12,540 --> 00:48:15,772 And really, you can't just go through the motions and say it. 1086 00:48:15,956 --> 00:48:19,324 You really have to repent, which means to turn from your sin 1087 00:48:15,956 --> 00:48:20,600 and never go back. 1088 00:48:23,790 --> 00:48:26,670 But Romans chapter ten, verse nine says, confess with your mouth, 1089 00:48:23,790 --> 00:48:27,806 believe in your heart and you will 1090 00:48:23,790 --> 00:48:28,502 be saved. 1091 00:48:28,606 --> 00:48:29,766 It's that simple. 1092 00:48:29,918 --> 00:48:33,210 My favorite story is the man hanging next to Jesus on the cross 1093 00:48:29,918 --> 00:48:35,534 and couldn't come off that cross 1094 00:48:29,918 --> 00:48:36,934 to do anything for Jesus. 1095 00:48:36,982 --> 00:48:39,982 But he believed he was the messiah and he was saved. 1096 00:48:40,126 --> 00:48:41,318 It's that simple. 1097 00:48:41,454 --> 00:48:43,806 Let's pray this together with everybody at every location. 1098 00:48:43,878 --> 00:48:45,090 Say this with me. 1099 00:48:45,790 --> 00:48:53,496 Heavenly Father, forgive me of all my sins, I declare you are the 1100 00:48:45,790 --> 00:48:54,380 messiah. 1101 00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:56,580 You are my savior. 1102 00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:58,660 Wash me with your blood. 1103 00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,060 I will serve you. 1104 00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:03,660 I will build your church. 1105 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:07,700 I will endure till the end. 1106 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:12,208 By your grace, Jesus name, amen. 1107 00:49:12,344 --> 00:49:14,476 Now I want you to take your communion up. 1108 00:49:14,568 --> 00:49:15,200 Out. 1109 00:49:15,540 --> 00:49:17,020 And don't take it yet. 1110 00:49:17,180 --> 00:49:18,484 Just across every location. 1111 00:49:18,532 --> 00:49:21,440 Let me lead you into time of communion. 1112 00:49:25,900 --> 00:49:27,180 I'm enduring to the end. 1113 00:49:27,220 --> 00:49:28,280 Anybody else? 1114 00:49:29,020 --> 00:49:30,140 I'm going all the way. 1115 00:49:30,180 --> 00:49:31,240 Anybody else? 1116 00:49:32,020 --> 00:49:35,756 So as you take your communion out, you could just open it up across 1117 00:49:32,020 --> 00:49:36,404 every location. 1118 00:49:36,452 --> 00:49:39,874 If you're at home, I'd encourage you to grab some bread. 1119 00:49:40,052 --> 00:49:44,390 Grabbed something one time, Evan Wilson did communion with Mountain 1120 00:49:40,052 --> 00:49:45,130 Dew. 1121 00:49:45,430 --> 00:49:47,958 I said, you're going to need an extra miracle to make that the 1122 00:49:45,430 --> 00:49:48,890 blood of Christ. 1123 00:49:52,470 --> 00:49:53,662 But you know what he did? 1124 00:49:53,686 --> 00:49:54,770 The communion. 1125 00:49:55,470 --> 00:49:58,414 The Mountain Dew story was that he led a satanist in a park 1126 00:49:55,470 --> 00:49:59,250 to Christ. 1127 00:50:01,070 --> 00:50:05,470 Evan Wilson, who's now our online campus pastor, led a satanist 1128 00:50:01,070 --> 00:50:08,336 in a park to Christ and then did communion 1129 00:50:01,070 --> 00:50:09,904 with Mountain Dew in the middle of 1130 00:50:01,070 --> 00:50:11,752 that park, talking about make the 1131 00:50:01,070 --> 00:50:12,700 devil mad. 1132 00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,300 Don't you just love making the devil mad. 1133 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:19,768 Now, the Bible says that if you take communion, but you have 1134 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:22,136 not asked for forgiveness, if you haven't 1135 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:24,208 dealt with your sin, that this becomes 1136 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:25,528 poison to you. 1137 00:50:25,704 --> 00:50:27,216 Can I explain that? 1138 00:50:27,368 --> 00:50:30,440 Because there's some churches and even denominations that will 1139 00:50:27,368 --> 00:50:32,136 physically not even allow you to 1140 00:50:27,368 --> 00:50:33,602 take communion until you deal with 1141 00:50:27,368 --> 00:50:34,254 sin. 1142 00:50:34,422 --> 00:50:37,478 But we know the Bible says that he's faithful and just to forgive 1143 00:50:34,422 --> 00:50:40,410 those who come before him and confess. 1144 00:50:40,750 --> 00:50:41,830 And so we don't have. 1145 00:50:41,870 --> 00:50:46,086 And the Bible also says he has not given us the spirit of condemnation. 1146 00:50:46,158 --> 00:50:46,678 Right. 1147 00:50:46,814 --> 00:50:49,222 Therefore, there is no condemnation to those who are in 1148 00:50:46,814 --> 00:50:50,330 Christ Jesus. 1149 00:50:50,790 --> 00:50:55,350 But I do think that communion should be a reminder of the forgiveness 1150 00:50:50,790 --> 00:50:57,210 that we have available to us. 1151 00:50:57,590 --> 00:51:01,410 And so the question about, are we in the end times? 1152 00:51:01,710 --> 00:51:03,134 Here's the better question. 1153 00:51:03,302 --> 00:51:05,050 Are we preaching the gospel? 1154 00:51:06,070 --> 00:51:07,942 Pastor Mike, who's the Antichrist? 1155 00:51:08,046 --> 00:51:09,410 Here's the better question. 1156 00:51:09,710 --> 00:51:12,690 Are we participating in the Antichrist system? 1157 00:51:13,510 --> 00:51:14,930 Are we in the end times? 1158 00:51:15,870 --> 00:51:17,010 I think so. 1159 00:51:18,150 --> 00:51:21,198 Does that mean that we all got to go cash out our bank account, 1160 00:51:18,150 --> 00:51:23,694 get a Louis Vuitton after church? 1161 00:51:23,862 --> 00:51:25,092 Because yolo. 1162 00:51:25,246 --> 00:51:27,712 Because people will say, well, you can't take it to the grave. 1163 00:51:27,816 --> 00:51:32,000 Yeah, but you can store up treasures in heaven, and you got 1164 00:51:27,816 --> 00:51:33,552 people that are saying, I can't take 1165 00:51:27,816 --> 00:51:34,120 it to the grave. 1166 00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,280 So I got my Louie and my Gucci and I got. 1167 00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:36,872 I can't. 1168 00:51:36,936 --> 00:51:37,432 I get what? 1169 00:51:37,456 --> 00:51:38,280 Hey, I get it, girl. 1170 00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,020 I hope Jesus comes back after you bounce that check. 1171 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:48,256 But let me just tell you, you got christians who are more concerned 1172 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:50,696 about what they can do before they 1173 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:53,300 die than what happens afterwards. 1174 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:57,180 And I'll tell you, I'm storing up treasures in heaven. 1175 00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:59,140 That's my goal. 1176 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:05,408 I probably shouldn't even say this, but I had a dream a couple 1177 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:06,860 months ago that I died. 1178 00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:08,704 And I was in this dream. 1179 00:52:08,752 --> 00:52:11,860 And I awoke in my heavenly mansion. 1180 00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:16,460 And I was walking around and I saw some of my loved ones. 1181 00:52:16,770 --> 00:52:19,898 There were some other loved ones who weren't there, and there 1182 00:52:16,770 --> 00:52:20,410 were some people. 1183 00:52:20,450 --> 00:52:22,754 And it was just one of the most powerful dreams I ever had in 1184 00:52:20,450 --> 00:52:23,338 my life. 1185 00:52:23,434 --> 00:52:26,106 And I woke up and I said, lord, I believe this was a prophetic 1186 00:52:23,434 --> 00:52:26,370 dream. 1187 00:52:26,410 --> 00:52:27,990 Why did I have this dream? 1188 00:52:28,490 --> 00:52:33,490 And he says, this is what I want you to do, is seek and save 1189 00:52:28,490 --> 00:52:34,310 the lost. 1190 00:52:35,130 --> 00:52:38,070 Reset your entire church for evangelism. 1191 00:52:38,450 --> 00:52:41,466 Reset your entire church to lead the lost. 1192 00:52:41,658 --> 00:52:45,146 And it's almost like he had to make me see my own heavenly mansion 1193 00:52:41,658 --> 00:52:45,756 to be like my. 1194 00:52:45,818 --> 00:52:47,220 What are you living for? 1195 00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:49,020 Recalibrate. 1196 00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:50,936 You're off target a little bit. 1197 00:52:50,968 --> 00:52:52,280 Get back on the bullseye. 1198 00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:56,136 And for all of you, who are so worried about your job, who are so 1199 00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:57,600 worried about everything, I'm telling 1200 00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:59,920 you, it's just like a vapor. 1201 00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,300 It's like a mist that's here one moment and gone the next. 1202 00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:07,040 Switch your thinking to the eternal, and the peace of God that 1203 00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:08,592 surpasses all understanding will 1204 00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:10,220 invade your mind and soul. 1205 00:53:11,930 --> 00:53:12,738 That's why. 1206 00:53:12,834 --> 00:53:13,990 That's my why. 1207 00:53:15,250 --> 00:53:16,510 That's my why. 1208 00:53:17,210 --> 00:53:18,770 And we got to come back to that place. 1209 00:53:18,810 --> 00:53:23,962 So this communion is going to be our confession together, that 1210 00:53:18,810 --> 00:53:26,330 we are going to lead the lost to the 1211 00:53:18,810 --> 00:53:29,858 cross at any cost, and that we are 1212 00:53:18,810 --> 00:53:31,930 going to implore everybody we know 1213 00:53:18,810 --> 00:53:34,082 to get to church to hear the gospel 1214 00:53:18,810 --> 00:53:36,026 every Sunday, and we're going to 1215 00:53:18,810 --> 00:53:37,990 preach it to him any chance we get. 1216 00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:39,472 So let me pray. 1217 00:53:39,536 --> 00:53:43,872 Father, I pray for this bread that is, that we get ready to partake 1218 00:53:39,536 --> 00:53:45,528 the bread, which is your body that 1219 00:53:39,536 --> 00:53:46,984 was broken for us. 1220 00:53:47,152 --> 00:53:49,888 It's so that our body can be made whole. 1221 00:53:50,064 --> 00:53:54,456 But also, Father, I thank you for the unification of the body, 1222 00:53:50,064 --> 00:53:57,352 your body, that we would be one across 1223 00:53:50,064 --> 00:54:00,420 all of our seven locations of v one church, 1224 00:53:50,064 --> 00:54:02,528 even as we prepare this month to 1225 00:53:50,064 --> 00:54:04,692 go to the breakers conference, and 1226 00:53:50,064 --> 00:54:06,196 we prepare God for all that you're 1227 00:53:50,064 --> 00:54:06,692 going to do. 1228 00:54:06,716 --> 00:54:10,280 I pray that we would be unified as we take your body now 1229 00:54:06,716 --> 00:54:12,800 so you may partake. 1230 00:54:19,820 --> 00:54:21,756 As you're ingesting the body of Christ. 1231 00:54:21,828 --> 00:54:23,116 I want to encourage you. 1232 00:54:23,268 --> 00:54:27,236 We received three stories this last week of people who experienced 1233 00:54:23,268 --> 00:54:29,020 medically verifiable miracles and 1234 00:54:23,268 --> 00:54:29,476 services. 1235 00:54:29,588 --> 00:54:30,106 Last week. 1236 00:54:30,148 --> 00:54:30,638 Week. 1237 00:54:30,774 --> 00:54:34,582 So I believe that when you take the body of Christ, there is 1238 00:54:30,774 --> 00:54:36,062 an aspect of healing to that. 1239 00:54:36,086 --> 00:54:39,030 And so if you're believing for healing in your body, just receive 1240 00:54:36,086 --> 00:54:40,010 it right now. 1241 00:54:40,750 --> 00:54:44,406 And this blood, this is how I want us to take this blood. 1242 00:54:44,438 --> 00:54:48,062 In a moment, how many of you remember the Passover story where 1243 00:54:44,438 --> 00:54:49,810 they put the blood over the doorpost? 1244 00:54:50,350 --> 00:54:54,534 Right now, you're going to hear wars and rumors of wars. 1245 00:54:54,702 --> 00:54:56,952 You're going to hear about earthquakes and I. 1246 00:54:57,086 --> 00:54:58,900 Various different things in weather. 1247 00:54:59,060 --> 00:55:01,980 But I want you to make a declaration with me that as we take 1248 00:54:59,060 --> 00:55:03,588 this blood, we're going to go back 1249 00:54:59,060 --> 00:55:05,612 to the words of Jesus that say, don't 1250 00:54:59,060 --> 00:55:07,596 even worry about it, because I'm 1251 00:54:59,060 --> 00:55:10,244 in control and you're not, and God is 1252 00:54:59,060 --> 00:55:11,756 ultimately going to take care of 1253 00:54:59,060 --> 00:55:12,172 you. 1254 00:55:12,276 --> 00:55:15,780 I'll never forget when I was in the hurricane Katrina. 1255 00:55:15,820 --> 00:55:18,052 I was doing the cleanup for it. 1256 00:55:18,196 --> 00:55:20,580 There was an entire neighborhood that was decimated. 1257 00:55:20,620 --> 00:55:22,616 I'm talking every house was gone. 1258 00:55:22,788 --> 00:55:25,592 I'm talking the roof of the house would be on the ground next 1259 00:55:22,788 --> 00:55:26,104 to the house. 1260 00:55:26,152 --> 00:55:29,168 That was leveled, and one house looked like nothing happened 1261 00:55:26,152 --> 00:55:29,448 to it. 1262 00:55:29,464 --> 00:55:30,800 Looked like an anomaly. 1263 00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:35,608 And I was with the army corps of engineers, and I was like, what? 1264 00:55:35,664 --> 00:55:36,712 How is that house there? 1265 00:55:36,736 --> 00:55:38,080 Is that new construction or something? 1266 00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:39,184 It looks like it's old. 1267 00:55:39,272 --> 00:55:39,880 They're like, no. 1268 00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:43,376 We have no scientific explanation for how that house was 1269 00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:44,048 not affected. 1270 00:55:44,144 --> 00:55:45,848 The whole neighborhood's decimated. 1271 00:55:45,944 --> 00:55:49,352 I walked in the house, and literally, there was a light cover 1272 00:55:45,944 --> 00:55:51,232 on the switch that says, the angel of 1273 00:55:45,944 --> 00:55:51,576 the Lord. 1274 00:55:51,608 --> 00:55:56,970 Encamps around those fear him, and chills just went down my spine. 1275 00:55:57,590 --> 00:55:58,326 Yeah. 1276 00:55:58,478 --> 00:56:00,302 So I'm telling you, it does. 1277 00:56:00,366 --> 00:56:04,670 A thousand may fall to one side and 10,000 on the other, but 1278 00:56:00,366 --> 00:56:06,478 I will still be standing. 1279 00:56:06,574 --> 00:56:07,006 Come on. 1280 00:56:07,038 --> 00:56:09,890 Ain't no ghost but the Holy Ghost up in this house. 1281 00:56:10,270 --> 00:56:11,830 I don't care what happens. 1282 00:56:11,870 --> 00:56:12,654 I'm good. 1283 00:56:12,782 --> 00:56:17,550 The blood of Jesus covers our house, so let's take this blood as 1284 00:56:12,782 --> 00:56:19,290 remembrance of his protection. 1285 00:56:21,590 --> 00:56:26,410 Now, I want you to stay where you're at and take 30 seconds now, 1286 00:56:21,590 --> 00:56:30,686 and I want you to think about the 1287 00:56:21,590 --> 00:56:32,862 goodness of God, and I want you to 1288 00:56:21,590 --> 00:56:34,414 receive the peace of God. 1289 00:56:34,542 --> 00:56:37,718 And we're going to take a moment of silence and reflection 1290 00:56:34,542 --> 00:56:39,998 and meditation on him and his word. 1291 00:56:40,134 --> 00:56:42,406 I want you to think about what was taught. 1292 00:56:42,598 --> 00:56:46,506 And as an entire church right now, I want us to just take about 1293 00:56:42,598 --> 00:56:49,258 30 seconds or so and just let the Lord 1294 00:56:42,598 --> 00:56:52,042 speak to you in this moment, because 1295 00:56:42,598 --> 00:56:54,290 this sermon is a prophetic sermon 1296 00:56:42,598 --> 00:56:57,482 that's preparing you, preparing you 1297 00:56:42,598 --> 00:56:59,210 for what's next and settling some 1298 00:56:42,598 --> 00:57:00,390 things in your heart. 1299 00:57:00,730 --> 00:57:02,938 And I believe the Lord's going to speak to you. 1300 00:57:03,074 --> 00:57:06,498 I did this exercise in preparation for this moment, and 1301 00:57:03,074 --> 00:57:07,866 the Lord spoke the phrase to me, 1302 00:57:03,074 --> 00:57:09,242 said, mike, you're never going back 1303 00:57:03,074 --> 00:57:10,362 to Egypt. 1304 00:57:10,546 --> 00:57:13,242 And something broke off of me, and I literally. 1305 00:57:13,306 --> 00:57:16,432 I think I started getting a form of deliverance, and it happened 1306 00:57:13,306 --> 00:57:18,820 while I was preparing for this message. 1307 00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:22,864 And the Lord told me, just let your church have some time with me, 1308 00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:24,472 just like you're having time with 1309 00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:24,608 me. 1310 00:57:24,624 --> 00:57:28,472 So just take 30 seconds to 60 seconds and let the Lord speak and 1311 00:57:24,624 --> 00:57:29,600 seal this word in your heart.
