1
00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:06,899
good evening ladies and gentlemen this

2
00:00:03,750 --> 00:00:09,990
evening we will consider together this

3
00:00:06,899 --> 00:00:15,509
sermon of the Lord on the Mount of

4
00:00:09,990 --> 00:00:20,219
Olives here in a picture we have a view

5
00:00:15,509 --> 00:00:25,710
of the Mount of Olives in the east of

6
00:00:20,219 --> 00:00:28,409
the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and the

7
00:00:25,710 --> 00:00:32,789
flesh is hinting to the peak of the

8
00:00:28,410 --> 00:00:35,549
mountain on this mountain in eastern

9
00:00:32,789 --> 00:00:39,780
Jerusalem took place the sermon of the

10
00:00:35,549 --> 00:00:43,699
Lord in the New Testament we have in all

11
00:00:39,780 --> 00:00:47,039
three accounts of this same speech and

12
00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:49,739
all these accounts are important to be

13
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:52,399
considered together because they

14
00:00:49,738 --> 00:00:57,000
complete each other

15
00:00:52,399 --> 00:01:06,049
Matthew 24 mark 13 and Luke 21

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:13,200
I should explain the the background of

17
00:01:06,049 --> 00:01:15,719
the speech it was on Tuesday just before

18
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:20,400
the crucifixion that took place on

19
00:01:15,719 --> 00:01:24,780
Friday in the same week during the whole

20
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:28,618
day there were discussions with

21
00:01:24,780 --> 00:01:33,420
different groups of enemies in the

22
00:01:28,618 --> 00:01:36,959
temple for example only in the Gospel of

23
00:01:33,420 --> 00:01:42,180
Mark Matthew in the Gospel of Matthew

24
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:46,769
chapter 21 verse 23 up to the end of

25
00:01:42,180 --> 00:01:51,420
chapter 23 speaking about these

26
00:01:46,769 --> 00:01:53,728
discussions in a temple and of course

27
00:01:51,420 --> 00:01:58,680
you have the parallel texts in mark and

28
00:01:53,728 --> 00:02:01,968
Luke so this shows the importance of

29
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,969
this day

30
00:02:03,489 --> 00:02:11,079
at the end of the day it was really

31
00:02:06,790 --> 00:02:15,040
evidence that the Jewish leaders of the

32
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:19,350
different groups at that time they were

33
00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:26,079
convinced that that Jesus of Nazareth is

34
00:02:19,349 --> 00:02:28,568
not the Messiah they rejected him and so

35
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:33,700
at the end of this day the Lord

36
00:02:28,568 --> 00:02:35,939
announced being still in the temple the

37
00:02:33,699 --> 00:02:39,789
destruction of the temple

38
00:02:35,939 --> 00:02:45,250
this announcement you find in all the

39
00:02:39,789 --> 00:02:50,229
three Gospels Matthew Mark and Luke were

40
00:02:45,250 --> 00:02:56,110
speaking about this day after that the

41
00:02:50,229 --> 00:02:59,409
Lord left the temple and went to the

42
00:02:56,110 --> 00:03:02,920
Kidron Valley in order to go on the

43
00:02:59,409 --> 00:03:07,090
Mount of Olives and the disciples went

44
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:12,578
with him and they were really under

45
00:03:07,090 --> 00:03:15,009
shock this wonderful temple it was the

46
00:03:12,579 --> 00:03:19,360
most beautiful building in the whole

47
00:03:15,009 --> 00:03:23,709
world at that time this wonderful temple

48
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:30,870
should be destroyed so the disciples

49
00:03:23,709 --> 00:03:35,079
posed for questions the first question

50
00:03:30,870 --> 00:03:39,370
when will a destruction of the temple

51
00:03:35,079 --> 00:03:42,159
take place these question this question

52
00:03:39,370 --> 00:03:45,939
you'll find in all the three parallel

53
00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:50,199
texts Matthew Mark and Luke second

54
00:03:45,939 --> 00:03:53,560
question what will be the sign of the

55
00:03:50,199 --> 00:03:57,780
destruction of the temple this question

56
00:03:53,560 --> 00:04:03,459
you do not find in Matthew neither in

57
00:03:57,780 --> 00:04:08,680
March but only in Luke and this is

58
00:04:03,459 --> 00:04:11,769
important because the clear answer to

59
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:16,509
this question you do not find in Matthew

60
00:04:11,769 --> 00:04:17,579
and in March but clearly in the Gospel

61
00:04:16,509 --> 00:04:20,709
of Luke

62
00:04:17,579 --> 00:04:26,979
their question what will be the sign of

63
00:04:20,709 --> 00:04:31,409
your return and eventually for what will

64
00:04:26,980 --> 00:04:34,270
be the sign of the end times

65
00:04:31,410 --> 00:04:37,800
now if we consider these four questions

66
00:04:34,269 --> 00:04:42,930
we may realize that there are two groups

67
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:46,389
these are in fact two and two questions

68
00:04:42,930 --> 00:04:50,470
question one and two is in connection

69
00:04:46,389 --> 00:04:55,089
with the temple with the second temple

70
00:04:50,470 --> 00:05:00,010
in Jerusalem and question three and four

71
00:04:55,089 --> 00:05:07,089
is in connection with the coming of

72
00:05:00,009 --> 00:05:11,620
Messiah in glory in the future so we

73
00:05:07,089 --> 00:05:20,909
could also say questions one and two are

74
00:05:11,620 --> 00:05:26,519
in connection with the time just after

75
00:05:20,910 --> 00:05:31,210
the coming of Christ into this world

76
00:05:26,519 --> 00:05:34,779
after his first coming into this world

77
00:05:31,209 --> 00:05:37,209
and question three and four is in

78
00:05:34,779 --> 00:05:43,000
connection with the second coming of

79
00:05:37,209 --> 00:05:46,509
Christ but we can also say that question

80
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:51,870
one in two is in fact in connection with

81
00:05:46,509 --> 00:05:57,519
the beginning time and three and four in

82
00:05:51,870 --> 00:06:03,329
connection with the end time these needs

83
00:05:57,519 --> 00:06:07,209
some explanations Messiah Jesus came

84
00:06:03,329 --> 00:06:11,680
2,000 years ago the first time and he

85
00:06:07,209 --> 00:06:14,799
came as the suffering Messiah he came as

86
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:17,439
the one who should resolve the

87
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:23,800
fundamental problem of humanity which is

88
00:06:17,439 --> 00:06:27,310
sin and so he came in order to take the

89
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:30,819
judgment of God the righteous judgment

90
00:06:27,310 --> 00:06:37,389
of God on himself

91
00:06:30,819 --> 00:06:41,980
in order to die in replacement of us the

92
00:06:37,389 --> 00:06:45,370
righteousness one for us the unrighteous

93
00:06:41,980 --> 00:06:51,129
people in order to bring us in

94
00:06:45,370 --> 00:06:59,259
fellowship with God but the prophecies

95
00:06:51,129 --> 00:07:03,009
of the Old Testament the prophecies of

96
00:06:59,259 --> 00:07:06,159
the Tanakh speak also about a coming of

97
00:07:03,009 --> 00:07:09,579
Messiah not only in order to suffer for

98
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:14,920
our sins as for example in Isaiah 53 or

99
00:07:09,579 --> 00:07:18,120
Psalm 22 but also many passages about

100
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:22,650
his coming in glory in order to bring

101
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:26,350
rule of justice and order into his world

102
00:07:22,649 --> 00:07:29,500
so the Second Coming would be the coming

103
00:07:26,350 --> 00:07:31,840
of the triumphing Messiah but we can

104
00:07:29,500 --> 00:07:33,519
clearly show from the miracle text

105
00:07:31,839 --> 00:07:36,699
already of the Tanakh of the Old

106
00:07:33,519 --> 00:07:40,719
Testament that in between these two

107
00:07:36,699 --> 00:07:48,430
comings of the same Messiah there should

108
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:52,270
be a long period of time now the

109
00:07:48,430 --> 00:07:57,189
destruction of the temple should occur

110
00:07:52,269 --> 00:08:00,879
just after the first coming of Messiah

111
00:07:57,189 --> 00:08:04,360
and sorry disciples asked question one

112
00:08:00,879 --> 00:08:08,860
when will destruction of a temple take

113
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:14,310
place and what would be a sign the

114
00:08:08,860 --> 00:08:16,780
immediate design of the immediate

115
00:08:14,310 --> 00:08:24,060
fulfilling of this prophecy of

116
00:08:16,779 --> 00:08:28,629
destruction but then question three is

117
00:08:24,060 --> 00:08:30,970
the question what is the sign that the

118
00:08:28,629 --> 00:08:34,240
long time in between the first and the

119
00:08:30,970 --> 00:08:37,629
second coming of Messiah should be at

120
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:43,149
the end so what is the sign of the end

121
00:08:37,629 --> 00:08:48,279
of this age and another question what

122
00:08:43,149 --> 00:08:54,579
is the sign that the the return of

123
00:08:48,279 --> 00:09:01,149
Christ would be immediately after so

124
00:08:54,580 --> 00:09:03,879
what is the sign of your coming these

125
00:09:01,149 --> 00:09:07,449
questions are of course very much

126
00:09:03,879 --> 00:09:13,870
related to each other but these are

127
00:09:07,450 --> 00:09:18,100
different questions now we can describe

128
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:20,679
the time just since the coming of the

129
00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:26,200
suffering Messiah the beginning time and

130
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:29,919
in contrast to this the time just before

131
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:35,980
the coming or until the coming is the

132
00:09:29,919 --> 00:09:40,899
end time so there should be a long time

133
00:09:35,980 --> 00:09:46,539
in between and just when the Lord is

134
00:09:40,899 --> 00:09:48,009
opening his speech about his answers to

135
00:09:46,539 --> 00:09:53,559
all these questions

136
00:09:48,009 --> 00:09:56,590
he gives just a general exhortation and

137
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:59,619
he's speaking about false messiahs that

138
00:09:56,590 --> 00:10:06,940
should come from the beginning time to

139
00:09:59,620 --> 00:10:09,429
the end time Matthew 24 verse 4 as it's

140
00:10:06,940 --> 00:10:13,750
just the beginning of the speech on the

141
00:10:09,429 --> 00:10:18,489
Mount of Olives and jesus answered and

142
00:10:13,750 --> 00:10:22,210
said unto them take heed that no man

143
00:10:18,490 --> 00:10:27,340
deceive you for many shall come in my

144
00:10:22,210 --> 00:10:31,150
name saying I am Christ Christ is the

145
00:10:27,340 --> 00:10:37,030
Greek term for Messiah so I am Christ

146
00:10:31,149 --> 00:10:42,569
means I am Messiah and shall deceive

147
00:10:37,029 --> 00:10:46,079
many so we see the Lord gives not just

148
00:10:42,570 --> 00:10:50,290
answers in order to know the future but

149
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:55,500
he applies his answers always to the

150
00:10:50,289 --> 00:10:55,500
heart and to our

151
00:10:55,950 --> 00:11:05,790
so all begins all his prophecies big

152
00:11:00,090 --> 00:11:09,920
begin with this exhortation not to be

153
00:11:05,789 --> 00:11:13,349
deceived it is fundamental

154
00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:17,789
this is a fundamental teaching of all

155
00:11:13,350 --> 00:11:22,470
biblical prophecies no take heed that no

156
00:11:17,789 --> 00:11:28,409
man deceive you now I show you a list of

157
00:11:22,470 --> 00:11:32,519
more than 50 false messiahs who came

158
00:11:28,409 --> 00:11:40,230
just after the coming of Jesus Christ

159
00:11:32,519 --> 00:11:42,870
up to today in only some years after you

160
00:11:40,230 --> 00:11:47,250
see on the list toyota's came in the

161
00:11:42,870 --> 00:11:52,139
years 44 to 46 then the Messiah from

162
00:11:47,250 --> 00:11:56,159
Egypt between 52 and 58 then the so

163
00:11:52,139 --> 00:11:58,429
called nem nameless prophet in 59 and

164
00:11:56,159 --> 00:12:03,839
some years after that

165
00:11:58,429 --> 00:12:07,079
Menahem the Galilean and so on I don't

166
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:09,800
want to read all the lists but you can

167
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:13,020
see that throughout all the centuries

168
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:17,399
false messiahs came claiming I am

169
00:12:13,019 --> 00:12:22,819
Messiah but they weren't and they were

170
00:12:17,399 --> 00:12:22,819
not able to fulfill Messianic prophecies

171
00:12:23,629 --> 00:12:31,679
when Jesus Christ came into this world

172
00:12:27,590 --> 00:12:37,350
why he's coming he fulfilled more than

173
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:40,500
300 messianic prophecies that you find

174
00:12:37,350 --> 00:12:43,860
in the Old Testament written clearly

175
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:47,070
long before his coming and they were

176
00:12:43,860 --> 00:12:49,940
fulfilled during his life and what

177
00:12:47,070 --> 00:12:54,480
followed immediately after

178
00:12:49,940 --> 00:12:57,000
so all these messiahs could not claim to

179
00:12:54,480 --> 00:13:01,279
have fulfilled these hundreds of

180
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:07,409
prophecies but they were able to receive

181
00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:09,799
sometimes huge parts of world Judaism

182
00:13:07,409 --> 00:13:14,419
the last in the list here is rabbi

183
00:13:09,799 --> 00:13:17,189
menachem mendel schneerson from new york

184
00:13:14,419 --> 00:13:23,189
1902 to 1994

185
00:13:17,190 --> 00:13:26,790
now some decades ago he died but still

186
00:13:23,190 --> 00:13:34,470
today you can see in many places in

187
00:13:26,789 --> 00:13:36,688
Israel his image if you are driving on

188
00:13:34,470 --> 00:13:40,620
the streets on the highways you will see

189
00:13:36,688 --> 00:13:45,750
this picture Brokovich llaha blessing

190
00:13:40,620 --> 00:13:50,188
and success Messiah but they need not

191
00:13:45,750 --> 00:13:54,990
fulfill prophecy take heed not to be

192
00:13:50,188 --> 00:13:56,879
deceived so this long time in between

193
00:13:54,990 --> 00:14:00,120
the first and the second coming of the

194
00:13:56,879 --> 00:14:04,550
true Messiah should be a time of many

195
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:09,089
false messiahs but then let's go on in

196
00:14:04,549 --> 00:14:15,740
our study of the speech you see in verse

197
00:14:09,089 --> 00:14:20,399
6 the Lord says and ye shall hear but

198
00:14:15,740 --> 00:14:27,329
literally translate it but when ye shall

199
00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:32,669
hear of wars and rumors of wars it is

200
00:14:27,328 --> 00:14:37,250
not so much end but just a small word

201
00:14:32,669 --> 00:14:41,188
but in Greek day and this is just a

202
00:14:37,250 --> 00:14:48,409
slight indication that a new thought is

203
00:14:41,188 --> 00:14:51,240
now being presented and so this makes a

204
00:14:48,409 --> 00:14:55,669
small difference between this general

205
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:59,879
exhortation of verse verses 4 and 5 and

206
00:14:55,669 --> 00:15:03,318
now from verse 6 we find the answer on

207
00:14:59,879 --> 00:15:06,149
the question what will be the sign of

208
00:15:03,318 --> 00:15:10,860
the end of the age

209
00:15:06,149 --> 00:15:13,078
what will be the sign of the end times

210
00:15:10,860 --> 00:15:20,360
of this long period in between the first

211
00:15:13,078 --> 00:15:20,359
and second coming of Messiah but

212
00:15:20,419 --> 00:15:28,620
you find these also in the parallel text

213
00:15:24,049 --> 00:15:34,019
look but at the the exposition of

214
00:15:28,620 --> 00:15:38,570
several end times and time signs the

215
00:15:34,019 --> 00:15:41,240
Lord goes back in the Gospel of Luke

216
00:15:38,570 --> 00:15:44,670
speaking about the beginning time

217
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:46,350
answering to the question when will the

218
00:15:44,669 --> 00:15:54,569
destruction of the temple take place and

219
00:15:46,350 --> 00:15:58,470
what will be their sign why can we call

220
00:15:54,570 --> 00:16:03,990
this time the beginning time because in

221
00:15:58,470 --> 00:16:06,810
1st John 1 verse 1 when John describes

222
00:16:03,990 --> 00:16:09,899
the coming of Jesus Christ into this

223
00:16:06,809 --> 00:16:15,479
world as the eternal life he speaks

224
00:16:09,899 --> 00:16:18,470
about what was since the beginning so

225
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:22,519
the time of the coming of Christ is

226
00:16:18,470 --> 00:16:27,690
called the beginning the beginning time

227
00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:33,028
now in Luke 21 after the exposition of

228
00:16:27,690 --> 00:16:36,420
some of the signs of the end of the age

229
00:16:33,028 --> 00:16:39,419
the Lord goes back to the beginning time

230
00:16:36,419 --> 00:16:45,149
from the end time back to the beginning

231
00:16:39,419 --> 00:16:50,578
time in verse 12 he says but before all

232
00:16:45,149 --> 00:16:54,419
these they shall lay their hands on you

233
00:16:50,578 --> 00:16:57,958
and persecute you delivering you up to

234
00:16:54,419 --> 00:17:01,169
the synagogues and into prisons being

235
00:16:57,958 --> 00:17:03,689
brought before kings and rulers for my

236
00:17:01,169 --> 00:17:10,078
name's sake and he shall turn to you for

237
00:17:03,690 --> 00:17:13,880
a testimony now this time indication but

238
00:17:10,078 --> 00:17:19,289
before all these is very important and

239
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:25,290
if you do not give attention reading the

240
00:17:19,289 --> 00:17:30,589
Bible to such indications you will never

241
00:17:25,289 --> 00:17:35,879
be able to correctly understand the text

242
00:17:30,589 --> 00:17:36,849
so this brings us back to the beginning

243
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:40,330
time if

244
00:17:36,849 --> 00:17:47,079
for all these and what follows in these

245
00:17:40,329 --> 00:17:51,879
verses is just a description of decades

246
00:17:47,079 --> 00:17:55,480
in the first century that took place

247
00:17:51,880 --> 00:18:00,360
before destruction of the temple now let

248
00:17:55,480 --> 00:18:03,700
us see the details first the Lord says

249
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:07,229
there will be a persecution of the

250
00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:11,620
followers of Messiah or Messiah Jesus

251
00:18:07,230 --> 00:18:16,929
and he says they will deliver you up to

252
00:18:11,619 --> 00:18:22,259
the synagogues and into prisons so the

253
00:18:16,929 --> 00:18:26,830
term synagogue here indicates that it

254
00:18:22,259 --> 00:18:35,519
should be a persecution from the Jewish

255
00:18:26,829 --> 00:18:41,199
side now let us see the historical

256
00:18:35,519 --> 00:18:45,639
events main events in 32 the crucifixion

257
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:55,600
of Messiah Jesus took place outside the

258
00:18:45,640 --> 00:19:00,190
walls of Jerusalem and then a little bit

259
00:18:55,599 --> 00:19:04,569
more than fifty days later Pentecost

260
00:19:00,190 --> 00:19:07,870
took place the Holy Ghost came upon the

261
00:19:04,569 --> 00:19:10,480
followers of Messiah Jesus and this was

262
00:19:07,869 --> 00:19:15,058
the time when a persecution by the

263
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:18,548
Jewish leaders and the Supreme Court of

264
00:19:15,058 --> 00:19:21,548
the Jewish people the Sanhedrin took

265
00:19:18,548 --> 00:19:28,269
place and you can read about that in

266
00:19:21,548 --> 00:19:32,970
acts 3 to 6 x2 and the coast and then

267
00:19:28,269 --> 00:19:40,480
this persecution three four five six and

268
00:19:32,970 --> 00:19:43,210
eventually in acts 7 and up to the

269
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:47,200
beginning of eight you find the

270
00:19:43,210 --> 00:19:50,500
wonderful testimony of Stephen one of

271
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:55,509
the follower of mission Messiah Jesus

272
00:19:50,500 --> 00:19:58,150
and eventually he was killed by the

273
00:19:55,509 --> 00:20:05,589
Sanhedrin this was a year after

274
00:19:58,150 --> 00:20:09,030
Pentecost 33 and so these words

275
00:20:05,589 --> 00:20:14,649
delivering you up to the synagogues and

276
00:20:09,029 --> 00:20:22,119
into prisons has been literally

277
00:20:14,650 --> 00:20:24,519
fulfilled by the way in mark 39 we have

278
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:27,729
also the term sanhedrin's

279
00:20:24,519 --> 00:20:30,639
in the plural so this means not only

280
00:20:27,730 --> 00:20:34,210
they will be in front of the Supreme

281
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:37,960
Court but also in front of local courts

282
00:20:34,210 --> 00:20:42,009
and the book of Acts shows as all these

283
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:45,370
things have been literally fulfilled but

284
00:20:42,009 --> 00:20:51,509
we have more details the Lord Jesus says

285
00:20:45,369 --> 00:20:55,808
being brought before kings and rulers

286
00:20:51,509 --> 00:20:59,519
literally governor's for my name's sake

287
00:20:55,808 --> 00:21:05,200
and it shall turn to you for a testimony

288
00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:08,980
so it's important to see not just before

289
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:18,450
a governor but in the plural governors

290
00:21:08,980 --> 00:21:21,370
now when you reach the first decades of

291
00:21:18,450 --> 00:21:27,720
Christianity in the book of Acts and New

292
00:21:21,369 --> 00:21:32,369
Testament you see many years going on

293
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:35,798
passing by but never you read about a

294
00:21:32,369 --> 00:21:44,918
follower of Christ before a governor but

295
00:21:35,798 --> 00:21:50,908
then in acts 23 Paul was before governor

296
00:21:44,919 --> 00:21:54,880
Felix but is only only a singular

297
00:21:50,909 --> 00:21:59,440
governor but then go on reading the text

298
00:21:54,880 --> 00:22:02,460
and you will see that Paul was not only

299
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:06,960
in the year 58 by name by the way

300
00:22:02,460 --> 00:22:11,069
for governor Felix but in acts 25 he was

301
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:17,519
before governor partyís Festus who

302
00:22:11,069 --> 00:22:20,779
followed Felix so the plural is at least

303
00:22:17,519 --> 00:22:24,660
two it could be more but at least two

304
00:22:20,779 --> 00:22:27,779
the plural had had been fulfilled in the

305
00:22:24,660 --> 00:22:34,110
year 59 and you see we we are

306
00:22:27,779 --> 00:22:37,109
approaching now the year 70 which was

307
00:22:34,109 --> 00:22:39,229
the year in which the temple the second

308
00:22:37,109 --> 00:22:42,449
temple of Jerusalem had been destroyed

309
00:22:39,230 --> 00:22:45,690
what we find here is just a description

310
00:22:42,450 --> 00:22:46,319
that gives the answer to the the

311
00:22:45,690 --> 00:22:49,710
question

312
00:22:46,319 --> 00:22:53,579
when well the destruction of the temple

313
00:22:49,710 --> 00:22:58,490
take place but we have more details

314
00:22:53,579 --> 00:23:04,609
the text says being brought before kings

315
00:22:58,490 --> 00:23:08,220
but until acts 25 you don't find a case

316
00:23:04,609 --> 00:23:12,389
where a disciple of Messiah Jesus was

317
00:23:08,220 --> 00:23:17,549
before a king and give attention to the

318
00:23:12,390 --> 00:23:21,530
fact in the plural before Kings well

319
00:23:17,549 --> 00:23:24,869
when you read act 26 you see how

320
00:23:21,529 --> 00:23:28,170
virtuous Festus being unable to judge

321
00:23:24,869 --> 00:23:32,219
about the case of Paul was so happy

322
00:23:28,170 --> 00:23:38,340
happy when King Agrippa visited him

323
00:23:32,220 --> 00:23:42,450
because he knew really what Judaism was

324
00:23:38,339 --> 00:23:47,339
and so he presented Paul to King Agrippa

325
00:23:42,450 --> 00:23:54,269
and Paul had to give a very amazing

326
00:23:47,339 --> 00:23:57,629
speech in front of the court and at the

327
00:23:54,269 --> 00:24:03,059
head of the court was King Agrippa these

328
00:23:57,630 --> 00:24:05,880
was in a year 60 but this was only the

329
00:24:03,059 --> 00:24:11,539
fulfillment of the singular the text

330
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:14,540
says before Kings so at that time Paul

331
00:24:11,539 --> 00:24:14,539
made

332
00:24:15,990 --> 00:24:26,200
use of his rights and he appealed to the

333
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:31,120
highest court of the Roman Empire to the

334
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:33,819
emperor of Rome and therefore King

335
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:38,049
Agrippa was he was convinced by the

336
00:24:33,819 --> 00:24:40,720
speech of Paul in acts 26 followers of

337
00:24:38,049 --> 00:24:44,169
Messiah Jesus are not a problem

338
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:46,900
there is no political problem no danger

339
00:24:44,170 --> 00:24:53,830
these people do not want to make your

340
00:24:46,900 --> 00:24:56,680
evolution so Paul should be released but

341
00:24:53,829 --> 00:25:00,099
because he appealed to the Emperor he

342
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:04,080
had to go to the Emperor and now if you

343
00:25:00,099 --> 00:25:10,059
read the book of Acts you will see this

344
00:25:04,079 --> 00:25:13,599
amazing way of Paul going to to Rome to

345
00:25:10,059 --> 00:25:17,740
the capital in order to wait for it for

346
00:25:13,599 --> 00:25:21,669
the judgement in front of the King of

347
00:25:17,740 --> 00:25:28,859
Kings in the Roman Empire but the book

348
00:25:21,670 --> 00:25:34,000
of Acts ends by this full two years of

349
00:25:28,859 --> 00:25:39,009
waiting until those who accused him in

350
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:41,529
the Land of Israel should come but there

351
00:25:39,009 --> 00:25:44,349
was a Roman law

352
00:25:41,529 --> 00:25:48,730
that said if the if they accuse us to

353
00:25:44,349 --> 00:25:51,879
not appear during a time period of the

354
00:25:48,730 --> 00:25:55,140
full length of two years the accused

355
00:25:51,880 --> 00:26:00,850
should be released and therefore after

356
00:25:55,140 --> 00:26:03,730
acts 28 Paul had been released and we

357
00:26:00,849 --> 00:26:07,019
see this this also from the letter to

358
00:26:03,730 --> 00:26:10,740
the Philippians to Philemon and

359
00:26:07,019 --> 00:26:14,230
Colossians that Paul was after that

360
00:26:10,740 --> 00:26:17,019
really released because the accusers did

361
00:26:14,230 --> 00:26:21,670
not arrive but the prophecy was

362
00:26:17,019 --> 00:26:24,460
fulfilled in a year 62 because Paul had

363
00:26:21,670 --> 00:26:28,150
to present himself before the Emperor

364
00:26:24,460 --> 00:26:28,779
and by this he was released because the

365
00:26:28,150 --> 00:26:32,830
accusers

366
00:26:28,779 --> 00:26:39,670
not present so the plural before Kings

367
00:26:32,829 --> 00:26:42,549
was fulfilled now we are still more and

368
00:26:39,670 --> 00:26:45,430
more approaching to the year 70 we are

369
00:26:42,549 --> 00:26:49,149
already in the years 62 but then in

370
00:26:45,430 --> 00:26:51,640
verse training the Lord says and when

371
00:26:49,150 --> 00:26:55,019
you shall see Jerusalem compassed with

372
00:26:51,640 --> 00:27:01,090
armies then know that the desolation

373
00:26:55,019 --> 00:27:05,259
thereof is nigh and this verse is the

374
00:27:01,089 --> 00:27:09,879
answer to the question what will be the

375
00:27:05,259 --> 00:27:16,089
sign of the immediate destruction of the

376
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:23,230
temple and this was also literally

377
00:27:16,089 --> 00:27:30,369
fulfilled in the year 68 why in the year

378
00:27:23,230 --> 00:27:33,849
66 there was the beginning of a

379
00:27:30,369 --> 00:27:39,429
revolution of the Jewish people against

380
00:27:33,849 --> 00:27:45,309
the Roman Empire they wanted to get back

381
00:27:39,430 --> 00:27:47,890
their freedom and so the Roman army had

382
00:27:45,309 --> 00:27:50,529
to bring more and more legions into a

383
00:27:47,890 --> 00:27:54,370
land of Israel in order to destroy this

384
00:27:50,529 --> 00:27:57,029
revolution but in the beginning the

385
00:27:54,369 --> 00:28:02,829
Jewish people was very successful

386
00:27:57,029 --> 00:28:04,869
against the Roman legions and so the

387
00:28:02,829 --> 00:28:08,889
Romans had to bring in more and more

388
00:28:04,869 --> 00:28:12,969
legions by the way at the end a third of

389
00:28:08,890 --> 00:28:19,900
all the Roman army of the whole Empire

390
00:28:12,970 --> 00:28:21,670
up to Great Britain today was gathered

391
00:28:19,900 --> 00:28:24,759
together in the Land of Israel to

392
00:28:21,670 --> 00:28:28,300
destroy this revolution and so the

393
00:28:24,759 --> 00:28:34,019
Romans could get back much land of the

394
00:28:28,299 --> 00:28:37,668
of the of the Jewish occupation and

395
00:28:34,019 --> 00:28:41,898
occupation of their own land they could

396
00:28:37,669 --> 00:28:45,829
back in Galilee in Transjordan in Judea

397
00:28:41,898 --> 00:28:49,398
and then in the year 68 their own army

398
00:28:45,828 --> 00:28:53,898
went up to Jerusalem to make the siege

399
00:28:49,398 --> 00:28:59,858
of the capital and this was in 68 when

400
00:28:53,898 --> 00:29:01,968
they put their camps around the city

401
00:28:59,858 --> 00:29:04,489
which was the fulfillment of worse

402
00:29:01,969 --> 00:29:07,328
training and when you shall see

403
00:29:04,489 --> 00:29:10,509
Jerusalem compassed with armies then

404
00:29:07,328 --> 00:29:14,450
know that the desolation thereof is nigh

405
00:29:10,509 --> 00:29:17,389
and the Lord continues then let them

406
00:29:14,450 --> 00:29:20,179
which are in Judea flee to the mountains

407
00:29:17,388 --> 00:29:23,508
and let them which are in the midst of

408
00:29:20,179 --> 00:29:27,288
it that we say of Jerusalem he part out

409
00:29:23,509 --> 00:29:31,038
and let not them that are in the

410
00:29:27,288 --> 00:29:34,190
countries enter thereinto so never go

411
00:29:31,038 --> 00:29:43,158
back to Jerusalem for these be the days

412
00:29:34,190 --> 00:29:47,719
of vengeance and before the fulfillment

413
00:29:43,159 --> 00:29:49,039
you could pose the question how would

414
00:29:47,719 --> 00:29:52,038
that be possible

415
00:29:49,038 --> 00:29:55,848
to flee into the mountains when the

416
00:29:52,038 --> 00:30:00,378
enemies are building up their camps

417
00:29:55,848 --> 00:30:05,028
around Jerusalem but the Lord said so so

418
00:30:00,378 --> 00:30:07,158
you could be sure before the events were

419
00:30:05,028 --> 00:30:11,959
fulfilled that there will be a

420
00:30:07,159 --> 00:30:17,419
possibility to do so and the fulfillment

421
00:30:11,959 --> 00:30:21,528
was like that in 68 suddenly the Emperor

422
00:30:17,419 --> 00:30:24,969
Nero committed suicide and this was a

423
00:30:21,528 --> 00:30:29,479
shock in the whole Roman Empire and the

424
00:30:24,969 --> 00:30:30,769
general of the of the Roman Roman army

425
00:30:29,479 --> 00:30:34,848
in Israel

426
00:30:30,769 --> 00:30:37,489
Vespasian stopped the war because he

427
00:30:34,848 --> 00:30:41,689
wanted to become emperor of the Roman

428
00:30:37,489 --> 00:30:48,139
Empire and so he stopped the work went

429
00:30:41,690 --> 00:30:50,900
to Rome and indeed he became the next

430
00:30:48,138 --> 00:30:54,829
emperor of Rome

431
00:30:50,900 --> 00:31:00,170
but because the war was stopped all the

432
00:30:54,829 --> 00:31:03,679
Jews who believed that Jesus Yeshua was

433
00:31:00,170 --> 00:31:09,940
the real Messiah they knew because of

434
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:14,210
Luke 21 the gospel text was already

435
00:31:09,940 --> 00:31:17,180
written and edited at that time they

436
00:31:14,210 --> 00:31:21,650
knew now we should flee into the

437
00:31:17,180 --> 00:31:26,600
mountains and they did so and so they

438
00:31:21,650 --> 00:31:29,870
could in freedom go up to the mountains

439
00:31:26,599 --> 00:31:40,099
they after that cross the Jordan River

440
00:31:29,869 --> 00:31:43,699
and went to Pella and Pella was king

441
00:31:40,099 --> 00:31:48,549
agrippa ruling he was ruling also over

442
00:31:43,700 --> 00:31:54,250
this city and he received all the Jewish

443
00:31:48,549 --> 00:31:58,700
believers of in Messiah Jesus as

444
00:31:54,250 --> 00:32:03,109
peaceful citizens because he knew by the

445
00:31:58,700 --> 00:32:06,019
speech of Paul these believers in

446
00:32:03,109 --> 00:32:14,979
Messiah Jesus are not dangerous

447
00:32:06,019 --> 00:32:21,500
and so they could get security in Pella

448
00:32:14,980 --> 00:32:29,679
but then in the year 70 after miss

449
00:32:21,500 --> 00:32:34,849
pasión became Emperor so he sent his son

450
00:32:29,679 --> 00:32:39,110
Titus to finish the war in Israel and so

451
00:32:34,849 --> 00:32:42,579
in spring 70 he arrived as a new general

452
00:32:39,109 --> 00:32:48,479
and he was just before the Passover

453
00:32:42,579 --> 00:32:51,480
because of the because of the fact that

454
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:54,919
at Passover all the Jews from all over

455
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:59,548
land should go to Jerusalem because

456
00:32:54,919 --> 00:33:02,549
there is no possibility to slaughter the

457
00:32:59,548 --> 00:33:05,400
Lambs the Paschal lamps outside of

458
00:33:02,548 --> 00:33:08,129
Jerusalem only in Jerusalem on the

459
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:14,160
temple play place just north of the

460
00:33:08,130 --> 00:33:17,220
altar in a temple but the Jewish

461
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:20,279
believers in Messiah Jesus they did no

462
00:33:17,220 --> 00:33:25,140
more go back to Jerusalem because they

463
00:33:20,279 --> 00:33:27,889
knew we must not Messiah Jesus said that

464
00:33:25,140 --> 00:33:31,140
we should flee and never go back then

465
00:33:27,890 --> 00:33:34,910
into the city of Jerusalem so they did

466
00:33:31,140 --> 00:33:38,750
not return but from from the whole land

467
00:33:34,910 --> 00:33:43,169
because it was an obligatory feast

468
00:33:38,750 --> 00:33:45,990
people came to Jerusalem in order to to

469
00:33:43,169 --> 00:33:49,220
slow to the Paschal lambs and this was

470
00:33:45,990 --> 00:33:53,579
the moment when the city was plenty

471
00:33:49,220 --> 00:33:58,650
according to Josephus Flavius a Jewish

472
00:33:53,579 --> 00:34:02,428
historian of the first century 2.7

473
00:33:58,650 --> 00:34:06,290
million people when they were inside the

474
00:34:02,429 --> 00:34:12,659
city titles closed the siege and

475
00:34:06,289 --> 00:34:16,559
destroyed Jerusalem during 140 days and

476
00:34:12,659 --> 00:34:20,639
at the end he totally destroyed the city

477
00:34:16,559 --> 00:34:25,739
and the city walls and even the second

478
00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:33,809
temple so everything was literally

479
00:34:25,739 --> 00:34:37,349
fulfilled but the Jewish Christians the

480
00:34:33,809 --> 00:34:42,239
Messianic Jews they all were saved

481
00:34:37,349 --> 00:34:45,079
because of the prophecy of this speech

482
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,079
on the Mount of Olives

483
00:34:48,389 --> 00:34:59,548
now the Jewish people was dispersed

484
00:34:55,679 --> 00:35:02,999
among all the nations in the following

485
00:34:59,548 --> 00:35:05,489
centuries the centuries that follow the

486
00:35:02,998 --> 00:35:10,469
year 70 the year of the destruction of

487
00:35:05,489 --> 00:35:13,980
Jerusalem and the temple and this the

488
00:35:10,469 --> 00:35:16,649
Lord announced in this speech because it

489
00:35:13,980 --> 00:35:19,380
says in verse 22 for these be the days

490
00:35:16,650 --> 00:35:23,910
of vengeance that all things which are

491
00:35:19,380 --> 00:35:26,220
written may be fulfilled but woe unto

492
00:35:23,909 --> 00:35:28,920
them that are with child and to them

493
00:35:26,219 --> 00:35:31,639
that give suck in those days for there

494
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:35,730
shall be great distress in the land and

495
00:35:31,639 --> 00:35:38,900
wrath upon these people and they shall

496
00:35:35,730 --> 00:35:44,389
fall by the edge of the sword and shall

497
00:35:38,900 --> 00:35:47,910
be led away captive into all nations and

498
00:35:44,389 --> 00:35:52,889
Jerusalem shall be trodden down to the

499
00:35:47,909 --> 00:35:57,389
of the Gentiles until the times of the

500
00:35:52,889 --> 00:36:03,389
Gentiles be fulfilled now this word

501
00:35:57,389 --> 00:36:09,210
until is most important after exposing

502
00:36:03,389 --> 00:36:11,879
the worldwide dispersion of the Jewish

503
00:36:09,210 --> 00:36:15,389
people that took place literally since

504
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:20,338
the year 70 the Lord says that Jerusalem

505
00:36:15,389 --> 00:36:24,440
will be always under non-jewish rule and

506
00:36:20,338 --> 00:36:29,009
will be trodden down but not for always

507
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:32,909
only until the times of the Gentiles be

508
00:36:29,009 --> 00:36:36,480
fulfilled and this term the time of the

509
00:36:32,909 --> 00:36:40,170
Gentiles is a term that means a time

510
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:45,269
that will go up to the coming of Messiah

511
00:36:40,170 --> 00:36:49,559
as the triumphant Messiah so this word

512
00:36:45,268 --> 00:36:54,959
is little word until is very important

513
00:36:49,559 --> 00:37:00,650
because as the Lord went back in time in

514
00:36:54,960 --> 00:37:02,369
verse 12 he goes now in verse 24 again

515
00:37:00,650 --> 00:37:10,358
to the end

516
00:37:02,369 --> 00:37:13,568
to the end of this present age and it is

517
00:37:10,358 --> 00:37:16,119
connection it is very important that the

518
00:37:13,568 --> 00:37:19,088
prophets of the Bible taught already in

519
00:37:16,119 --> 00:37:22,720
the Tanakh in the Old Testament that the

520
00:37:19,088 --> 00:37:26,500
Jewish people will one day come back out

521
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:29,409
of the worldwide dispersion that was

522
00:37:26,500 --> 00:37:36,909
also prophesied in the Old Testament for

523
00:37:29,409 --> 00:37:39,670
example tirana me 28 64 but the prophets

524
00:37:36,909 --> 00:37:42,699
said they will come back from all the

525
00:37:39,670 --> 00:37:46,690
nations back to the homeland of the

526
00:37:42,699 --> 00:37:50,889
forefathers but this will take place in

527
00:37:46,690 --> 00:37:54,220
the end time in the end times

528
00:37:50,889 --> 00:37:57,838
that's what say in the time just before

529
00:37:54,219 --> 00:38:03,308
the coming of the triumphing Messiah

530
00:37:57,838 --> 00:38:11,889
just an example is they kill 38:8 the

531
00:38:03,309 --> 00:38:16,210
context is about Gog and Magog and this

532
00:38:11,889 --> 00:38:20,618
is an enemy that will in the last days

533
00:38:16,210 --> 00:38:23,289
in the end times attack Israel and now

534
00:38:20,619 --> 00:38:26,849
in verse 8 God is speaking to this enemy

535
00:38:23,289 --> 00:38:31,650
from the uttermost North scene from

536
00:38:26,849 --> 00:38:36,730
Israel after many days thou shall be

537
00:38:31,650 --> 00:38:39,548
visited in the latter years this is

538
00:38:36,730 --> 00:38:43,059
another expression to say the end times

539
00:38:39,548 --> 00:38:47,679
or last days or days of the end there

540
00:38:43,059 --> 00:38:50,259
are many different expressions in the

541
00:38:47,679 --> 00:38:53,129
Bible that have the same meaning so

542
00:38:50,259 --> 00:38:55,690
after many days thou shalt be visited

543
00:38:53,130 --> 00:38:58,710
the judgment will come upon this enemy

544
00:38:55,690 --> 00:39:02,769
of Israel in the latter day latter years

545
00:38:58,710 --> 00:39:05,980
thou shalt come into the land that is

546
00:39:02,768 --> 00:39:09,969
brought back from the sword and is

547
00:39:05,980 --> 00:39:12,699
gathered out of many people against the

548
00:39:09,969 --> 00:39:16,000
mountains of Israel which have been

549
00:39:12,699 --> 00:39:19,419
always waste

550
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:22,480
but it is brought forth out of the

551
00:39:19,420 --> 00:39:27,090
nations so in the end times Israel will

552
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:32,050
be attacked Israel as a people that is

553
00:39:27,090 --> 00:39:35,800
again gathered together back in the

554
00:39:32,050 --> 00:39:39,400
homeland of the forefathers gathered out

555
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:43,420
of many people many nations brought

556
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:46,690
forth out of the nations so we have a

557
00:39:43,420 --> 00:39:49,690
very interesting anti parallelism the

558
00:39:46,690 --> 00:39:51,960
first coming of Messiah and then the

559
00:39:49,690 --> 00:39:55,829
dispersion of the Jewish people the

560
00:39:51,960 --> 00:40:01,179
second coming of Messiah but just before

561
00:39:55,829 --> 00:40:09,460
the gathering together of the people of

562
00:40:01,179 --> 00:40:12,339
Israel and this period of the time when

563
00:40:09,460 --> 00:40:18,030
the Jewish people comes back to the land

564
00:40:12,340 --> 00:40:23,470
is called in the Bible the end times or

565
00:40:18,030 --> 00:40:26,920
the last days so this does not mean the

566
00:40:23,469 --> 00:40:29,919
end of the world but the end of this

567
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:33,369
long time in between the first coming

568
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:35,889
and the second coming of Messiah at the

569
00:40:33,369 --> 00:40:40,349
end of this time that is called in the

570
00:40:35,889 --> 00:40:44,588
Bible the times of the Gentiles and

571
00:40:40,349 --> 00:40:48,460
these last days seen in connection with

572
00:40:44,588 --> 00:40:50,730
this fundamental sign of the end the

573
00:40:48,460 --> 00:40:55,170
return of the Jewish people

574
00:40:50,730 --> 00:41:00,659
this sign began to be fulfilled since

575
00:40:55,170 --> 00:41:04,180
1882 this was the year when the first

576
00:41:00,659 --> 00:41:04,989
mass immigration of Jews back to the

577
00:41:04,179 --> 00:41:09,629
homeland

578
00:41:04,989 --> 00:41:13,868
took place this is the fulfillment of

579
00:41:09,630 --> 00:41:17,410
many prophecies in the Bible for example

580
00:41:13,869 --> 00:41:21,190
as a killed 36 24 where God says in the

581
00:41:17,409 --> 00:41:25,868
6th century before Christ so long before

582
00:41:21,190 --> 00:41:29,440
the Jewish people had been scattered

583
00:41:25,869 --> 00:41:32,440
among all the Gentiles

584
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:34,539
speaks here already from there about

585
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:39,730
their return from all the nations of the

586
00:41:34,539 --> 00:41:43,269
world for I will take you from among the

587
00:41:39,730 --> 00:41:47,199
nations and gather you out of all

588
00:41:43,269 --> 00:41:51,929
countries and will bring you into your

589
00:41:47,199 --> 00:41:54,969
own land God is speaking to Israel and

590
00:41:51,929 --> 00:42:02,369
we are seeing the fulfillment in the

591
00:41:54,969 --> 00:42:07,029
time of 1882 up to 2023 million Jews

592
00:42:02,369 --> 00:42:10,799
from all the continents from about 130

593
00:42:07,030 --> 00:42:16,390
different countries returned back home

594
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:22,560
so we realize now that the periods which

595
00:42:16,389 --> 00:42:29,069
we call end times or last days this

596
00:42:22,559 --> 00:42:33,909
period is a period of already 138 years

597
00:42:29,070 --> 00:42:38,380
and in the processor's the Jewish people

598
00:42:33,909 --> 00:42:41,710
is coming back and these strokes are

599
00:42:38,380 --> 00:42:45,300
indicating prophecies about end times

600
00:42:41,710 --> 00:42:48,250
that are already fulfilled and that

601
00:42:45,300 --> 00:42:55,510
tribe wants to count all these fulfilled

602
00:42:48,250 --> 00:43:01,150
prophecies and I got at least a whole

603
00:42:55,510 --> 00:43:04,900
list of 180 fulfilled prophecies in our

604
00:43:01,150 --> 00:43:09,670
time but what is still in the future is

605
00:43:04,900 --> 00:43:14,410
the coming of Messiah as the triumphing

606
00:43:09,670 --> 00:43:22,210
Messiah and so the end times are going

607
00:43:14,409 --> 00:43:25,480
on we are inside this period but we can

608
00:43:22,210 --> 00:43:29,829
clearly make a distinction between the

609
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:32,199
end times and the past of almost 2,000

610
00:43:29,829 --> 00:43:35,079
years when the Jewish people was

611
00:43:32,199 --> 00:43:38,710
scattered among all nations had no

612
00:43:35,079 --> 00:43:43,319
Israeli statehood and was always

613
00:43:38,710 --> 00:43:47,590
persecuted by Gentile nations

614
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:52,420
so the end times are a distinct period

615
00:43:47,590 --> 00:43:57,660
and clearly different from the time of

616
00:43:52,420 --> 00:44:00,610
the dispersion without Israeli statute

617
00:43:57,659 --> 00:44:04,509
and it was the same at the beginning

618
00:44:00,610 --> 00:44:06,970
time Messiah came and he was born in

619
00:44:04,510 --> 00:44:13,450
Bethlehem according to the prophecy in

620
00:44:06,969 --> 00:44:17,739
Micah 5:2 and eventually he was rejected

621
00:44:13,449 --> 00:44:21,129
and crucified outside the walls of

622
00:44:17,739 --> 00:44:22,989
Jerusalem and then Jerusalem was

623
00:44:21,130 --> 00:44:27,910
destroyed and the Jewish people began to

624
00:44:22,989 --> 00:44:31,989
be scattered and so many prophecies had

625
00:44:27,909 --> 00:44:37,769
been fulfilled also in the following

626
00:44:31,989 --> 00:44:41,549
time up to 135 this was the moment when

627
00:44:37,769 --> 00:44:45,190
the Roman Empire Emperor Hadrian

628
00:44:41,550 --> 00:44:50,110
destroyed the second Jewish revolution

629
00:44:45,190 --> 00:44:53,559
and he put a total end to Israeli state

630
00:44:50,110 --> 00:44:57,550
to it so this beginning time of 135

631
00:44:53,559 --> 00:45:03,389
years was also a distinct period clearly

632
00:44:57,550 --> 00:45:07,530
different from what followed and was

633
00:45:03,389 --> 00:45:13,150
characterized by this awful picture of

634
00:45:07,530 --> 00:45:14,940
the rejected Jew went from ghetto to

635
00:45:13,150 --> 00:45:22,750
ghetto

636
00:45:14,940 --> 00:45:25,480
homeless and hated by many nations but

637
00:45:22,750 --> 00:45:27,820
now we would like to consider the signs

638
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:31,860
in the sermon of the Lord on the Mount

639
00:45:27,820 --> 00:45:36,220
of Olives concerning the end times

640
00:45:31,860 --> 00:45:39,880
we already saw the fact that disciples

641
00:45:36,219 --> 00:45:42,369
asked for two signs what is the sign of

642
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:47,710
the end times and what is the sign that

643
00:45:42,369 --> 00:45:52,559
your coming will be immediate but the

644
00:45:47,710 --> 00:45:54,639
Lord offered them more than 25 signs in

645
00:45:52,559 --> 00:45:59,088
this

646
00:45:54,639 --> 00:46:03,798
this is the manner of the Lord he gives

647
00:45:59,088 --> 00:46:08,630
much more than we asked but now it it is

648
00:46:03,798 --> 00:46:13,699
very important to realize that these

649
00:46:08,630 --> 00:46:16,670
signs are called birth pangs in Matthew

650
00:46:13,699 --> 00:46:22,159
24 verse 8 after mentioning some of

651
00:46:16,670 --> 00:46:26,619
these signs of the end the Lord says all

652
00:46:22,159 --> 00:46:26,618
these are the beginning of Sorrows

653
00:46:27,940 --> 00:46:35,420
sorrows are birth pangs and we know when

654
00:46:32,210 --> 00:46:41,749
birth pangs arrive the baby will not

655
00:46:35,420 --> 00:46:45,818
just be be born but these sorrows these

656
00:46:41,748 --> 00:46:51,969
birth pangs are of a psychical nature

657
00:46:45,818 --> 00:46:56,528
they become more and more intensive and

658
00:46:51,969 --> 00:47:01,399
painful so there is a whole development

659
00:46:56,528 --> 00:47:09,170
but at the end at the end the great joy

660
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:13,880
and Men I mean a human being enters into

661
00:47:09,170 --> 00:47:17,358
the world and this is interesting if we

662
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:19,489
consider the time in between the first

663
00:47:17,358 --> 00:47:25,038
and the second coming of Christ which is

664
00:47:19,489 --> 00:47:28,278
called in the Bible the present age for

665
00:47:25,039 --> 00:47:34,039
example in Ephesians 1:19 the present

666
00:47:28,278 --> 00:47:37,869
age in contrast to the coming age which

667
00:47:34,039 --> 00:47:41,089
is always the age when Messiah will rule

668
00:47:37,869 --> 00:47:43,220
so in Judaism the rabbi's of the past

669
00:47:41,088 --> 00:47:46,369
made the distinction between how a lamb

670
00:47:43,219 --> 00:47:49,818
has a the present age and how LOM haba

671
00:47:46,369 --> 00:47:54,440
the coming age of Messiah when he will

672
00:47:49,818 --> 00:47:59,690
reign so the present age our ulama is a

673
00:47:54,440 --> 00:48:02,950
this age is compared by the Lord to the

674
00:47:59,690 --> 00:48:07,099
time of pregnancy which is a period of

675
00:48:02,949 --> 00:48:10,458
normally about nine months

676
00:48:07,099 --> 00:48:14,869
but at the end of this period we have

677
00:48:10,458 --> 00:48:20,690
signs that indicate the end of this time

678
00:48:14,869 --> 00:48:24,469
and indicate the coming of a human into

679
00:48:20,690 --> 00:48:28,519
his world these are the birth pangs now

680
00:48:24,469 --> 00:48:29,989
the more than trainee signs in the

681
00:48:28,518 --> 00:48:35,629
sermon of the Lord on the Mount of

682
00:48:29,989 --> 00:48:40,940
Olives are like birth pangs and they

683
00:48:35,630 --> 00:48:45,229
indicate the coming of the man Yeshua

684
00:48:40,940 --> 00:48:47,259
HaMashiach Jesus the Messiah into this

685
00:48:45,228 --> 00:48:56,169
world

686
00:48:47,259 --> 00:49:00,559
now in the Gospel of Matthew we have

687
00:48:56,170 --> 00:49:06,650
first several signs of the end the Lord

688
00:49:00,559 --> 00:49:10,729
speaks one about mass wars then two

689
00:49:06,650 --> 00:49:12,920
about revolutions not in Matthew but in

690
00:49:10,728 --> 00:49:18,588
a parallel passage of the beginning of

691
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:24,880
the sermon in Luke and Mark then again

692
00:49:18,588 --> 00:49:29,958
back in Matthew 3 famines four epidemics

693
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:34,749
five earthquakes and then give attention

694
00:49:29,958 --> 00:49:37,818
to the biblical text the Lord says then

695
00:49:34,748 --> 00:49:43,248
after these beginning signs there will

696
00:49:37,818 --> 00:49:49,308
be a huge persecution of his disciples

697
00:49:43,248 --> 00:49:52,698
of his followers and then also give

698
00:49:49,309 --> 00:49:56,630
attention to the time indication will

699
00:49:52,699 --> 00:50:03,139
take place at mass apostasy a falling

700
00:49:56,630 --> 00:50:07,548
away from faith now these five signs are

701
00:50:03,139 --> 00:50:13,699
called in Matthew 24 verse 8 all these

702
00:50:07,548 --> 00:50:18,318
are the beginning of Sorrows so this is

703
00:50:13,699 --> 00:50:20,450
just the beginning of the end times now

704
00:50:18,318 --> 00:50:25,529
let us consider a fact

705
00:50:20,449 --> 00:50:28,529
1882 the first mass immigration of

706
00:50:25,530 --> 00:50:34,369
thousands of Jews back to the homeland

707
00:50:28,530 --> 00:50:43,470
of the forefathers took place 82 83 84

708
00:50:34,369 --> 00:50:48,450
but then well you may still ask posed

709
00:50:43,469 --> 00:50:53,639
the question how can worse revolution

710
00:50:48,449 --> 00:50:56,608
famines be clear indications of the end

711
00:50:53,639 --> 00:51:00,088
times always in world history there were

712
00:50:56,608 --> 00:51:04,409
wars revolutions famines there were

713
00:51:00,088 --> 00:51:05,969
epidemics how now we saw already in

714
00:51:04,409 --> 00:51:08,608
connection with the prophecy about the

715
00:51:05,969 --> 00:51:14,789
destruction of the temple that every

716
00:51:08,608 --> 00:51:20,369
word every hint has a huge indication

717
00:51:14,789 --> 00:51:25,769
and meaning so it is the same here the

718
00:51:20,369 --> 00:51:32,809
first sign speaking about wars and war

719
00:51:25,769 --> 00:51:36,780
news was fulfilled by a new phenomenon a

720
00:51:32,809 --> 00:51:38,909
world war on all the five continents we

721
00:51:36,780 --> 00:51:43,640
had never before in world history this

722
00:51:38,909 --> 00:51:50,420
was the first time in 1914 up to 18 a

723
00:51:43,639 --> 00:51:53,368
war with 18 million dead now the Lord

724
00:51:50,420 --> 00:51:58,849
said in matthew 24:6

725
00:51:53,369 --> 00:52:04,858
and ye shall hear of wars plural not of

726
00:51:58,849 --> 00:52:08,880
a war you shall hear of wars and rumors

727
00:52:04,858 --> 00:52:11,699
of wars so when you hear about wars this

728
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:14,940
means words that are not far away from

729
00:52:11,699 --> 00:52:19,139
you but when you are hearing about

730
00:52:14,940 --> 00:52:24,210
rumors of wars these wars are so far

731
00:52:19,139 --> 00:52:27,690
away that you hear just rumors about

732
00:52:24,210 --> 00:52:32,250
them and so this is just an indicating

733
00:52:27,690 --> 00:52:34,440
that geographically

734
00:52:32,250 --> 00:52:43,219
these Wars about the Lord is speaking

735
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:46,409
here are our honor on the on a vast

736
00:52:43,219 --> 00:52:50,339
field of the world

737
00:52:46,409 --> 00:52:53,909
and he goes on see that he be not

738
00:52:50,340 --> 00:52:57,980
troubled for all the things must come to

739
00:52:53,909 --> 00:53:00,329
pass but the end is not yet

740
00:52:57,980 --> 00:53:03,329
it is just the beginning of the end

741
00:53:00,329 --> 00:53:06,090
times the end this means really the end

742
00:53:03,329 --> 00:53:10,799
of the end times and we will later on

743
00:53:06,090 --> 00:53:12,960
see that the end means in fact the Great

744
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:17,519
Tribulation with which will be the last

745
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:21,630
world war of three and a half years just

746
00:53:17,519 --> 00:53:25,500
before the coming of the triumphal

747
00:53:21,630 --> 00:53:29,730
Messiah so the Lord says this is just

748
00:53:25,500 --> 00:53:32,309
the beginning the end is not yet and he

749
00:53:29,730 --> 00:53:34,530
goes on saying for nation shall rise

750
00:53:32,309 --> 00:53:37,889
against nation and Kingdom against

751
00:53:34,530 --> 00:53:42,060
Kingdom so this is a mass war not just a

752
00:53:37,889 --> 00:53:45,049
war like France against Germany nation

753
00:53:42,059 --> 00:53:48,750
against nation Kingdom against against

754
00:53:45,050 --> 00:53:52,050
against Kingdom and these are many wars

755
00:53:48,750 --> 00:53:56,159
in the plural hear of wars and far away

756
00:53:52,050 --> 00:54:01,170
also close and far away rumors of wars

757
00:53:56,159 --> 00:54:04,529
and now you see here on this map all the

758
00:54:01,170 --> 00:54:13,400
nations that were implied in world war

759
00:54:04,530 --> 00:54:17,010
one all what is here in color are

760
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:24,289
nations that were touched by the war

761
00:54:17,010 --> 00:54:28,770
only the grey parts are were outside and

762
00:54:24,289 --> 00:54:32,219
the second world war that took place

763
00:54:28,769 --> 00:54:34,289
just some years later so that the

764
00:54:32,219 --> 00:54:38,459
phenomenon that never took place in in

765
00:54:34,289 --> 00:54:44,929
world history until 1914 took place a

766
00:54:38,460 --> 00:54:49,809
second time in 1919 39 to 45

767
00:54:44,929 --> 00:54:57,529
World War two and even more nations were

768
00:54:49,809 --> 00:55:01,030
employed so we can see the end times

769
00:54:57,530 --> 00:55:04,099
from 1882 up to the coming of Messiah

770
00:55:01,030 --> 00:55:07,730
just after the end of three and a half

771
00:55:04,099 --> 00:55:13,250
years but here we have already in this

772
00:55:07,730 --> 00:55:15,318
period two world wars so we see every

773
00:55:13,250 --> 00:55:19,159
word had been fulfilled in the sign of

774
00:55:15,318 --> 00:55:24,949
wars was very clear that this is the end

775
00:55:19,159 --> 00:55:27,920
times these are the end times Luke 21

776
00:55:24,949 --> 00:55:30,469
verse 9 the Lord says be not terrified

777
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:34,809
for these things must come to pass but

778
00:55:30,469 --> 00:55:39,489
the end is not by-and-by matthew 24:8

779
00:55:34,809 --> 00:55:46,010
all these are the beginnings of Sorrows

780
00:55:39,489 --> 00:55:47,959
now if people would say to me well you

781
00:55:46,010 --> 00:55:53,000
are speaking about the end times today

782
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:56,210
but my grandfather already spoke decades

783
00:55:53,000 --> 00:56:01,489
decades ago that we are in the end times

784
00:55:56,210 --> 00:56:05,510
and it seems he was not he was not

785
00:56:01,489 --> 00:56:10,959
current in his views now I should say he

786
00:56:05,510 --> 00:56:15,349
was absolutely correct the end times are

787
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:18,579
since the end of the 19th century but he

788
00:56:15,349 --> 00:56:21,440
was not yet so advanced as we are today

789
00:56:18,579 --> 00:56:23,809
that's just a difference and the Lord

790
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:28,338
speaks about this difference saying but

791
00:56:23,809 --> 00:56:33,440
the end is not vine pie but it's already

792
00:56:28,338 --> 00:56:38,230
end time last days and now let us

793
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:45,829
consider the window of time from 1882 to

794
00:56:38,230 --> 00:56:50,829
1922 a window of 40 years why this

795
00:56:45,829 --> 00:56:52,850
window because the Lord exposed five

796
00:56:50,829 --> 00:56:58,190
signs and

797
00:56:52,849 --> 00:57:03,589
then a huge persecution will go on

798
00:56:58,190 --> 00:57:06,860
against the believers and in 1922 the

799
00:57:03,590 --> 00:57:10,250
Soviet Union was founded with a new

800
00:57:06,860 --> 00:57:13,760
state program that you saw never before

801
00:57:10,250 --> 00:57:19,150
in other nation since the beginning a

802
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:25,700
state program that said we will destroy

803
00:57:19,150 --> 00:57:29,240
Christianity a huge persecution so let

804
00:57:25,699 --> 00:57:33,559
us see these signs these five signs in

805
00:57:29,239 --> 00:57:37,159
this window of 40 years now we're all

806
00:57:33,559 --> 00:57:41,360
ready so that the First World War took

807
00:57:37,159 --> 00:57:46,099
place in this window of 40 years but

808
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:50,329
then a next prophecy revolutions Luke

809
00:57:46,099 --> 00:57:55,789
21:9 but when ye shall hear of wars and

810
00:57:50,329 --> 00:57:59,539
revolutions in Greek katha Stasi I be

811
00:57:55,789 --> 00:58:03,489
not terrified for these things must

812
00:57:59,539 --> 00:58:08,449
first come to pass but the end is not

813
00:58:03,489 --> 00:58:12,789
by-and-by in the parallel text mark 13 8

814
00:58:08,449 --> 00:58:18,679
and there shall be famines and troubles

815
00:58:12,789 --> 00:58:22,190
in Greek high another word these are the

816
00:58:18,679 --> 00:58:27,429
beginnings of Sorrows troubles Tara high

817
00:58:22,190 --> 00:58:30,200
is also another word for revolution now

818
00:58:27,429 --> 00:58:33,349
somebody could pose the question how can

819
00:58:30,199 --> 00:58:37,819
you evolutions be a real sign of the end

820
00:58:33,349 --> 00:58:42,409
times there were always revolutions in

821
00:58:37,820 --> 00:58:45,470
world history yes I would say when for

822
00:58:42,409 --> 00:58:49,009
example the French Revolution okay and

823
00:58:45,469 --> 00:58:53,500
then yeah that's cool we learned about

824
00:58:49,010 --> 00:58:58,570
the Glorious Revolution okay we did so

825
00:58:53,500 --> 00:59:02,119
also and then well there there were more

826
00:58:58,570 --> 00:59:06,200
but let us just see this window of 40

827
00:59:02,119 --> 00:59:12,828
years which was a window

828
00:59:06,199 --> 00:59:18,019
of 70 revolutions and rebellions let us

829
00:59:12,829 --> 00:59:20,720
just see 11 examples the Philippine

830
00:59:18,019 --> 00:59:23,509
revolution then the constitutional

831
00:59:20,719 --> 00:59:31,098
Aleutian in Iran the Russian Revolution

832
00:59:23,510 --> 00:59:34,030
of 1905 but success to destroy the

833
00:59:31,099 --> 00:59:37,730
Empire of the tars did not take place

834
00:59:34,030 --> 00:59:45,589
but then the Young Turk revolution in

835
00:59:37,730 --> 00:59:48,469
the Ottoman Empire 1908 so the country

836
00:59:45,588 --> 00:59:53,750
called at a time Palestine was part of

837
00:59:48,469 --> 00:59:55,819
the Ottoman Empire so the Jews that went

838
00:59:53,750 --> 00:59:58,639
back through the land of their

839
00:59:55,820 --> 01:00:06,740
forefathers entered at that time - the

840
00:59:58,639 --> 01:00:09,969
Ottoman Empire and you see the Young

841
01:00:06,739 --> 01:00:13,250
Turk revolution took place in this

842
01:00:09,969 --> 01:00:15,469
empire but then also the Mexican

843
01:00:13,250 --> 01:00:18,858
revolution since 1910 which was a

844
01:00:15,469 --> 01:00:23,078
terrible revolution the Chinese sing

845
01:00:18,858 --> 01:00:27,588
high revolution 1911 12 which led China

846
01:00:23,079 --> 01:00:33,980
into decades of civil war of terrible

847
01:00:27,588 --> 01:00:38,409
Civil War but the Arab revolt 1962 18 16

848
01:00:33,980 --> 01:00:42,500
to 18 took place also inside the Ottoman

849
01:00:38,409 --> 01:00:46,639
Empire then the February revolution in

850
01:00:42,500 --> 01:00:50,929
Russia 1917 which was a civil revolution

851
01:00:46,639 --> 01:00:54,159
but was then changed to a communist

852
01:00:50,929 --> 01:00:57,348
revolution by Lenin October Revolution

853
01:00:54,159 --> 01:01:00,769
in the same year and then the November

854
01:00:57,349 --> 01:01:05,720
evolution in Germany and the a solution

855
01:01:00,769 --> 01:01:08,000
in Hungary but we could go on 70 more

856
01:01:05,719 --> 01:01:15,399
than 70 revolutions and rebellions in

857
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:15,400
this time so we fill in our window

858
01:01:18,789 --> 01:01:32,019
and now birth-pangs should go on and

859
01:01:24,559 --> 01:01:35,139
they did because since 1882 up to 2020

860
01:01:32,019 --> 01:01:38,230
the world saw more than three hundred

861
01:01:35,139 --> 01:01:44,469
thirty-five revolutions and rebellions

862
01:01:38,230 --> 01:01:44,469
modern times are times of revolutions

863
01:01:46,570 --> 01:01:56,660
three famines the Lord said Matthew 24:7

864
01:01:52,519 --> 01:02:00,590
and there shall be famines in diverse

865
01:01:56,659 --> 01:02:03,250
places let's see first the window 40

866
01:02:00,590 --> 01:02:09,200
years the beginning of the end times and

867
01:02:03,250 --> 01:02:16,119
we had many terrible famines first in

868
01:02:09,199 --> 01:02:20,779
China three famines with million of debt

869
01:02:16,119 --> 01:02:26,179
also to tear most terrible famines in

870
01:02:20,780 --> 01:02:33,970
Russia again with about seven million

871
01:02:26,179 --> 01:02:39,259
dead and also in Lebanon and in India

872
01:02:33,969 --> 01:02:43,069
with up to 11 million dead and in Africa

873
01:02:39,260 --> 01:02:44,500
especially in central Kenya where fifty

874
01:02:43,070 --> 01:02:53,180
to ninety percent of the population

875
01:02:44,500 --> 01:02:56,920
population died so in all more than

876
01:02:53,179 --> 01:03:00,379
twenty six million dead only in this

877
01:02:56,920 --> 01:03:08,269
relatively short window of forty years

878
01:03:00,380 --> 01:03:12,530
so we add nine terrible famines but we

879
01:03:08,269 --> 01:03:15,380
should realize in this context that the

880
01:03:12,530 --> 01:03:20,720
20th century was called a century of

881
01:03:15,380 --> 01:03:23,630
famines because there was not only this

882
01:03:20,719 --> 01:03:26,929
acute hunger as we have seen in this

883
01:03:23,630 --> 01:03:30,349
window for the years but in general the

884
01:03:26,929 --> 01:03:31,069
problem of chronic hunger people have

885
01:03:30,349 --> 01:03:35,210
always

886
01:03:31,070 --> 01:03:38,510
not enough to eat this is of course

887
01:03:35,210 --> 01:03:44,320
connected to the fact that the world

888
01:03:38,510 --> 01:03:51,470
population from 1900 to 2000 went from

889
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:56,480
1.6 to 6.5 billion and now up to around

890
01:03:51,469 --> 01:03:59,719
8 billion people but we have been used

891
01:03:56,480 --> 01:04:05,000
in 20th century to know that about 8

892
01:03:59,719 --> 01:04:11,019
million people died each year and at the

893
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:14,230
moment about 1 billion people are hungry

894
01:04:11,019 --> 01:04:18,590
this is really painful

895
01:04:14,230 --> 01:04:20,750
yes these are parts of these birth pangs

896
01:04:18,590 --> 01:04:26,600
of the end times

897
01:04:20,750 --> 01:04:32,210
as the Lord prophesied it but there is

898
01:04:26,599 --> 01:04:35,630
more for epidemics and there shall be

899
01:04:32,210 --> 01:04:39,460
famines and pestilences or you can also

900
01:04:35,630 --> 01:04:44,860
translate the Greek word by epidemics in

901
01:04:39,460 --> 01:04:49,070
diverse places now you see there's

902
01:04:44,860 --> 01:04:52,820
terrible virus that caused the Spanish

903
01:04:49,070 --> 01:04:58,539
flu but let's look at this window of 40

904
01:04:52,820 --> 01:05:03,710
years we had many most terrible

905
01:04:58,539 --> 01:05:09,199
epidemics in this time I mentioned 6 the

906
01:05:03,710 --> 01:05:13,340
Russian flu with 1 1 million dead the

907
01:05:09,199 --> 01:05:19,269
third pest pandemics with 12 million

908
01:05:13,340 --> 01:05:19,269
debt in history the pandemics are

909
01:05:20,469 --> 01:05:32,038
numbered from 1 to 3 and therefore

910
01:05:26,139 --> 01:05:36,608
the next is the sixth cholera epidemics

911
01:05:32,039 --> 01:05:41,140
with more than 800,000 dead the Russian

912
01:05:36,608 --> 01:05:45,759
typhus epidemics also with million of

913
01:05:41,139 --> 01:05:51,400
that and the sleeping sickness coat and

914
01:05:45,759 --> 01:05:53,679
several latest the tareka with 1.5

915
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:57,430
million dead and eventually the Spanish

916
01:05:53,679 --> 01:06:01,989
flu which was so terrible at the end of

917
01:05:57,429 --> 01:06:04,719
the First World War and after nobody

918
01:06:01,989 --> 01:06:07,480
knows exactly the number it is just an

919
01:06:04,719 --> 01:06:11,259
estimation that goes from fifty to a

920
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:14,318
hundred million that and now you

921
01:06:11,259 --> 01:06:21,028
understand why people in general today

922
01:06:14,318 --> 01:06:25,239
are so afraid of Corona because this

923
01:06:21,028 --> 01:06:31,259
fact of the Spanish flu is still in the

924
01:06:25,239 --> 01:06:36,159
memory of many people and there is this

925
01:06:31,259 --> 01:06:41,769
danger that such a catastrophic repeat

926
01:06:36,159 --> 01:06:47,798
and was most terrible at that time so we

927
01:06:41,768 --> 01:06:52,449
can complete our window by six terrible

928
01:06:47,798 --> 01:06:57,038
epidemics but we can go on in the 20th

929
01:06:52,449 --> 01:07:03,998
century by the Asian flu the Hong Kong

930
01:06:57,039 --> 01:07:07,690
flu million in every case died so you

931
01:07:03,998 --> 01:07:13,328
understand corona today should just be

932
01:07:07,690 --> 01:07:17,409
seen in the light of these terrible

933
01:07:13,329 --> 01:07:22,720
epidemics of the relative recent past of

934
01:07:17,409 --> 01:07:26,679
history and then the Russian flu but

935
01:07:22,719 --> 01:07:33,298
think also about AIDS 37 million debt

936
01:07:26,679 --> 01:07:37,538
are a fact since 1981 and it goes on

937
01:07:33,298 --> 01:07:39,369
every year we have about 1.8 million

938
01:07:37,539 --> 01:07:43,750
dead

939
01:07:39,369 --> 01:07:51,549
smallpox in the 20th century was so

940
01:07:43,750 --> 01:07:58,119
awful the estimation is 300 million to

941
01:07:51,550 --> 01:08:00,660
500 million dead and tuberculosis in the

942
01:07:58,119 --> 01:08:09,539
20th century about 100 million dead

943
01:08:00,659 --> 01:08:13,719
nasals million and million of dead since

944
01:08:09,539 --> 01:08:18,550
1870 more than 200 million dead but we

945
01:08:13,719 --> 01:08:24,510
could continue by hepatitis E and now we

946
01:08:18,550 --> 01:08:29,289
have the problem of Kove 819 corona

947
01:08:24,510 --> 01:08:33,210
epidemics and think also about my

948
01:08:29,289 --> 01:08:33,210
codeine addiction in the 20th century

949
01:08:33,539 --> 01:08:40,810
according to the United Nations in 20th

950
01:08:37,989 --> 01:08:46,149
century there were more about one hand

951
01:08:40,810 --> 01:08:48,640
100 million dead now earthquakes the

952
01:08:46,149 --> 01:08:52,779
Lord says and there shall be famines and

953
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:58,660
pestilences or epidemics and earthquakes

954
01:08:52,779 --> 01:09:02,889
in diverse places now there is a most

955
01:08:58,659 --> 01:09:06,279
hurled list of earthquakes in the 20th

956
01:09:02,890 --> 01:09:09,510
century and of course there were never

957
01:09:06,279 --> 01:09:15,429
so many people on earth therefore

958
01:09:09,510 --> 01:09:22,180
earthquakes in general are more

959
01:09:15,430 --> 01:09:25,000
dangerous to the modern societies than

960
01:09:22,180 --> 01:09:31,710
in the past but what is also interesting

961
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:35,739
is the fact that great concentrations of

962
01:09:31,710 --> 01:09:40,659
populations you find on the globe

963
01:09:35,739 --> 01:09:46,510
especially in places where the danger of

964
01:09:40,659 --> 01:09:51,269
earthquakes is very high why that why

965
01:09:46,510 --> 01:09:51,270
did they go to live exactly there

966
01:09:51,939 --> 01:09:59,050
so in our window of 40 years we have

967
01:09:55,779 --> 01:10:04,090
terrible earthquakes in the Ottoman

968
01:09:59,050 --> 01:10:07,389
Empire in 1883 this means when the Jews

969
01:10:04,090 --> 01:10:09,939
returned to the Ottoman Empire just in

970
01:10:07,389 --> 01:10:19,679
the next year at the beginning an

971
01:10:09,939 --> 01:10:26,139
earthquake then in Iran to 1893 and 1885

972
01:10:19,679 --> 01:10:30,719
and Japan Japan India and in Europe in

973
01:10:26,139 --> 01:10:36,159
Messina Sicily Calabria with 72,000 dead

974
01:10:30,719 --> 01:10:41,260
and then again in Italy 1915 30

975
01:10:36,158 --> 01:10:48,248
thousands dead and in China 200,000 dead

976
01:10:41,260 --> 01:10:54,880
in 1920 so we had eight severe

977
01:10:48,248 --> 01:11:01,828
earthquakes but he could go armed with

978
01:10:54,880 --> 01:11:07,630
far more then 150 terrible earthquakes

979
01:11:01,828 --> 01:11:13,988
until today Japan China Turk mania Peru

980
01:11:07,630 --> 01:11:19,179
just to mention most terrible

981
01:11:13,988 --> 01:11:24,368
earthquakes China in 1976 maybe this was

982
01:11:19,179 --> 01:11:29,078
the most terrible earthquake event of

983
01:11:24,368 --> 01:11:34,359
history with 800,000 dead and then here

984
01:11:29,078 --> 01:11:37,688
Iran again and again and again Pakistan

985
01:11:34,359 --> 01:11:41,618
China again and high tea you remember of

986
01:11:37,689 --> 01:11:46,739
2010 three hundred sixteen thousand debt

987
01:11:41,618 --> 01:11:46,738
and it goes on up to today

988
01:11:49,390 --> 01:11:57,400
only the 20th century 2.3 million debt

989
01:11:53,979 --> 01:12:02,819
in about 140 great earthquakes but he

990
01:11:57,399 --> 01:12:09,099
went on in the 21st century now we go on

991
01:12:02,819 --> 01:12:12,369
with further signs of the end I take

992
01:12:09,100 --> 01:12:19,390
together six affliction seven death and

993
01:12:12,369 --> 01:12:22,510
eight hate matthew 24:9 then shall they

994
01:12:19,390 --> 01:12:27,310
deliver you up to be afflicted and shall

995
01:12:22,510 --> 01:12:29,440
kill you and ye shall be hated of all

996
01:12:27,310 --> 01:12:34,500
nations for my name's sake

997
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:38,139
now give attention to the term then

998
01:12:34,500 --> 01:12:43,630
after these five signs that were clearly

999
01:12:38,140 --> 01:12:47,950
fulfilled during 40 years then a most

1000
01:12:43,630 --> 01:12:52,090
terrible persecution of the believers of

1001
01:12:47,949 --> 01:12:54,789
the Christians the Communists in the

1002
01:12:52,090 --> 01:12:58,180
Soviet Union decided in the 1920s to

1003
01:12:54,789 --> 01:13:02,140
destroy Christianity and there was a

1004
01:12:58,180 --> 01:13:04,570
persecution up to the end to the

1005
01:13:02,140 --> 01:13:08,020
dissolution of the soviet soviet union

1006
01:13:04,569 --> 01:13:12,880
at the end of the 20th century and how

1007
01:13:08,020 --> 01:13:16,840
by torture labor camps prisons mental

1008
01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:19,630
hospitals thousands ten thousands of

1009
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:21,250
Christians have been killed even more up

1010
01:13:19,630 --> 01:13:29,319
to millions

1011
01:13:21,250 --> 01:13:34,109
there are estimations like this even

1012
01:13:29,319 --> 01:13:37,359
people that did not really have a

1013
01:13:34,109 --> 01:13:39,369
personal relationship to Jesus Christ as

1014
01:13:37,359 --> 01:13:44,319
their personal Savior but they were

1015
01:13:39,369 --> 01:13:47,010
confessing to be Christians they were

1016
01:13:44,319 --> 01:13:47,009
cut off

1017
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:58,219
so we see of these five signs of the

1018
01:13:54,300 --> 01:14:04,579
beginning then shall they deliver you up

1019
01:13:58,219 --> 01:14:10,770
to be afflicted and shall kill you and

1020
01:14:04,579 --> 01:14:13,529
all this persecution went on we can say

1021
01:14:10,770 --> 01:14:16,500
that most Christian martyrs died in

1022
01:14:13,529 --> 01:14:21,920
whole in the whole church history of

1023
01:14:16,500 --> 01:14:21,920
2000 years during the 20th century and

1024
01:14:23,060 --> 01:14:32,429
not only by the communists

1025
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:35,760
very much so but also by Islamists and

1026
01:14:32,429 --> 01:14:39,899
Christians are persecuted in Islamic

1027
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:44,760
countries all over the world after today

1028
01:14:39,899 --> 01:14:52,579
and many are killed because of their

1029
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:58,409
faith in Jesus Christ now it was a

1030
01:14:52,579 --> 01:15:02,850
forced apostasy that took place the Lord

1031
01:14:58,408 --> 01:15:09,960
says and then shall many turn away from

1032
01:15:02,850 --> 01:15:14,100
faith and shall betray one another you

1033
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:18,109
see in the past of the church history in

1034
01:15:14,100 --> 01:15:21,750
the first centuries the Roman Empire

1035
01:15:18,109 --> 01:15:26,569
persecuted the Christians but the result

1036
01:15:21,750 --> 01:15:32,100
was that the number of Christians

1037
01:15:26,569 --> 01:15:34,769
increased by the persecution so in

1038
01:15:32,100 --> 01:15:38,639
general that Christians remained

1039
01:15:34,770 --> 01:15:41,580
faithful and did not fall away but other

1040
01:15:38,639 --> 01:15:49,650
people were convinced by their authentic

1041
01:15:41,579 --> 01:15:57,109
faith that was ready even to die in

1042
01:15:49,649 --> 01:16:00,539
place of denying Christ this was so

1043
01:15:57,109 --> 01:16:04,229
convincing that many people in the Roman

1044
01:16:00,539 --> 01:16:05,189
Empire became real Christians but the

1045
01:16:04,229 --> 01:16:09,029
Lord said

1046
01:16:05,189 --> 01:16:11,449
in the end times when this persecution

1047
01:16:09,029 --> 01:16:16,349
of the five beginning signs will begin

1048
01:16:11,449 --> 01:16:19,619
there will be a great apostasy so people

1049
01:16:16,350 --> 01:16:23,820
will go away from Christianity and this

1050
01:16:19,619 --> 01:16:28,979
is the fulfillment of many turn away

1051
01:16:23,819 --> 01:16:31,949
from faith and it is true million felt

1052
01:16:28,979 --> 01:16:33,959
away from the Christian faith because

1053
01:16:31,949 --> 01:16:37,789
the Communists in the former Soviet

1054
01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:42,180
Union and of course in Eastern Europe

1055
01:16:37,789 --> 01:16:44,460
forced them to do so so people that were

1056
01:16:42,180 --> 01:16:48,210
confessing Christians went away from

1057
01:16:44,460 --> 01:16:52,230
Christianity and a season became the

1058
01:16:48,210 --> 01:16:58,020
common belief in this big part of the

1059
01:16:52,229 --> 01:17:07,619
world ruled by communism in many many

1060
01:16:58,020 --> 01:17:14,730
countries so we can at then shall many

1061
01:17:07,619 --> 01:17:16,880
turn away from faith sign number 10

1062
01:17:14,729 --> 01:17:20,639
betrayal

1063
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:24,859
the Lord said then shall many turn away

1064
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:29,640
from faith and shall betray one another

1065
01:17:24,859 --> 01:17:32,929
the secret police in communist communist

1066
01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:34,050
countries misused the population

1067
01:17:32,930 --> 01:17:37,550
systematically

1068
01:17:34,050 --> 01:17:40,800
to work with them betraying one another

1069
01:17:37,550 --> 01:17:43,920
this was not the way of your Roman

1070
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:47,220
Empire in the past for example but in

1071
01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:52,440
communist communist countries it was

1072
01:17:47,220 --> 01:17:55,079
like that and so working together a

1073
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:57,689
population the word of the Lord was

1074
01:17:55,079 --> 01:18:00,170
fulfilled many turn away from faith and

1075
01:17:57,689 --> 01:18:02,729
shall betray one another

1076
01:18:00,170 --> 01:18:05,609
you could never be sure about your

1077
01:18:02,729 --> 01:18:08,039
neighbour even when he was lovely but

1078
01:18:05,609 --> 01:18:12,469
you could not be sure whether he was

1079
01:18:08,039 --> 01:18:14,260
working together with the secret police

1080
01:18:12,470 --> 01:18:19,780
but Allah

1081
01:18:14,260 --> 01:18:23,380
hate in society by the common work of

1082
01:18:19,779 --> 01:18:28,840
the population together with the secret

1083
01:18:23,380 --> 01:18:32,230
police you could no more be sure that

1084
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:36,730
your neighbors were not ones enemies and

1085
01:18:32,229 --> 01:18:39,669
this destroyed the relation the natural

1086
01:18:36,729 --> 01:18:45,669
relationship of people in the society

1087
01:18:39,670 --> 01:18:52,750
and became like this and shall hate one

1088
01:18:45,670 --> 01:18:57,159
another 12 persecutions my family name

1089
01:18:52,750 --> 01:18:59,500
members the secret police went further

1090
01:18:57,159 --> 01:19:02,139
not just working together II the

1091
01:18:59,500 --> 01:19:04,029
population in general but the secret

1092
01:19:02,140 --> 01:19:07,990
parties injured even the most inner

1093
01:19:04,029 --> 01:19:11,170
circle of families they even risk to

1094
01:19:07,989 --> 01:19:15,159
destroy most precious family ties and

1095
01:19:11,170 --> 01:19:19,690
the Lord announced this in mark 13 12 in

1096
01:19:15,159 --> 01:19:23,949
the parallel passage now brother shall

1097
01:19:19,689 --> 01:19:28,179
betray brother to death and the father

1098
01:19:23,949 --> 01:19:31,809
his son and children shall rise against

1099
01:19:28,180 --> 01:19:37,140
their parents and shall cause to bring

1100
01:19:31,810 --> 01:19:38,850
them to death and this has also been

1101
01:19:37,140 --> 01:19:43,050
fulfilled

1102
01:19:38,850 --> 01:19:46,480
but when we are speaking about this

1103
01:19:43,050 --> 01:19:50,890
first apostasy falling away from faith

1104
01:19:46,479 --> 01:19:56,759
in the end times I would just add as a

1105
01:19:50,890 --> 01:20:00,130
sort of parenthesis the deliberate

1106
01:19:56,760 --> 01:20:02,789
apostasy that was prophesied in 2nd

1107
01:20:00,130 --> 01:20:02,789
Thessalonians

1108
01:20:07,698 --> 01:20:16,189
second Thessalonians two were three Paul

1109
01:20:10,429 --> 01:20:21,260
says for that day he's speaking about

1110
01:20:16,189 --> 01:20:22,359
the day of Messiah which is the day of

1111
01:20:21,260 --> 01:20:26,090
the Lord

1112
01:20:22,359 --> 01:20:30,679
this means the coming of Messiah as the

1113
01:20:26,090 --> 01:20:33,650
judge and ruler of the world and Paul

1114
01:20:30,679 --> 01:20:37,909
says for that day thus we say the day of

1115
01:20:33,649 --> 01:20:41,500
messiahs coming shall not come except

1116
01:20:37,909 --> 01:20:46,909
there come a falling away first and that

1117
01:20:41,500 --> 01:20:54,020
man of sin Antichrist be revealed the

1118
01:20:46,909 --> 01:20:56,179
son of perdition now we see in the

1119
01:20:54,020 --> 01:21:00,530
Western countries that were not

1120
01:20:56,179 --> 01:21:03,800
dominated by the Communists as in the

1121
01:21:00,529 --> 01:21:09,439
former Soviet Union in China and Eastern

1122
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:15,260
Europe and so on there was a deliberate

1123
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:18,229
falling away of many and the 20th

1124
01:21:15,260 --> 01:21:23,780
century became the post Christian era

1125
01:21:18,229 --> 01:21:26,539
and this especially since the 60s the

1126
01:21:23,779 --> 01:21:29,599
revolution of the 60s was a falling away

1127
01:21:26,539 --> 01:21:34,189
from Christianity on all the Christian

1128
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:38,750
values in the Western world we saw in

1129
01:21:34,189 --> 01:21:43,609
the 20th century up to today million of

1130
01:21:38,750 --> 01:21:48,170
people who abandoned the Christian faith

1131
01:21:43,609 --> 01:21:52,219
and its ethical values and many are now

1132
01:21:48,170 --> 01:21:56,119
even fighting with hate against

1133
01:21:52,219 --> 01:22:00,739
so-called fundamentalists the term

1134
01:21:56,119 --> 01:22:04,488
fundamentalists means simply Christians

1135
01:22:00,738 --> 01:22:09,349
that are true to the Bible not

1136
01:22:04,488 --> 01:22:14,198
christened with weapons just true to the

1137
01:22:09,350 --> 01:22:17,030
Bible and by liberal theology that

1138
01:22:14,198 --> 01:22:20,809
became more and more prevalent in the

1139
01:22:17,029 --> 01:22:24,079
20th century in the great

1140
01:22:20,810 --> 01:22:26,090
oh geez my liberal theology all the

1141
01:22:24,079 --> 01:22:31,239
fundamentals of Christian faith are

1142
01:22:26,090 --> 01:22:34,220
rejected professors of theology who deny

1143
01:22:31,239 --> 01:22:37,359
the inspiration of the scriptures who

1144
01:22:34,220 --> 01:22:42,220
deny that Jesus Christ is the son of God

1145
01:22:37,359 --> 01:22:45,949
who deny the fundamental truth of

1146
01:22:42,220 --> 01:22:49,909
biblical faith and this is also

1147
01:22:45,949 --> 01:22:54,109
announced in more details in second

1148
01:22:49,909 --> 01:23:00,139
Timothy 3 and chapter 4 in second Peter

1149
01:22:54,109 --> 01:23:06,710
2 3 chapter 3 and in the the Epistle of

1150
01:23:00,140 --> 01:23:13,280
Jude we go on by sign 13

1151
01:23:06,710 --> 01:23:15,770
false prophets Matthew 24:11 and many

1152
01:23:13,279 --> 01:23:24,649
false prophets shall rise and shall

1153
01:23:15,770 --> 01:23:29,540
deceive many and we can say this was

1154
01:23:24,649 --> 01:23:34,309
just typical for church history in the

1155
01:23:29,539 --> 01:23:38,449
20th and 21st century and we saw even

1156
01:23:34,310 --> 01:23:41,750
three waves becoming more and more

1157
01:23:38,449 --> 01:23:46,369
prevalent there was a first wave of

1158
01:23:41,750 --> 01:23:52,310
false prophets since 1901 then since the

1159
01:23:46,369 --> 01:23:56,779
1960s then since the 1980s new prophets

1160
01:23:52,310 --> 01:24:01,990
who came and announced for example in a

1161
01:23:56,779 --> 01:24:05,179
year 2000 we will see the greatest

1162
01:24:01,989 --> 01:24:06,069
awakening of all times in the Western

1163
01:24:05,180 --> 01:24:10,460
world

1164
01:24:06,069 --> 01:24:13,449
now 2020 we can look back and see it was

1165
01:24:10,460 --> 01:24:19,239
not true it was false prophecy and

1166
01:24:13,449 --> 01:24:24,859
according to the autonomy 18 a prophet

1167
01:24:19,239 --> 01:24:28,899
who utters one false prophecy is just a

1168
01:24:24,859 --> 01:24:32,289
false prophet so all these people that

1169
01:24:28,899 --> 01:24:33,960
often had leading positions in

1170
01:24:32,289 --> 01:24:38,579
Christianity

1171
01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:43,710
they were false prophets so million of

1172
01:24:38,579 --> 01:24:47,159
people in our time get now visions or

1173
01:24:43,710 --> 01:24:53,670
they call that impressions or heavenly

1174
01:24:47,159 --> 01:24:57,300
messages you never saw this like that in

1175
01:24:53,670 --> 01:25:05,270
the past centuries after the time of the

1176
01:24:57,300 --> 01:25:08,279
Apostles and so this prophecy has been

1177
01:25:05,270 --> 01:25:10,140
amazingly fulfilled many fellows

1178
01:25:08,279 --> 01:25:14,670
prophets shall rise

1179
01:25:10,140 --> 01:25:18,390
we never saw such a huge number of false

1180
01:25:14,670 --> 01:25:25,289
prophets in church history as in the end

1181
01:25:18,390 --> 01:25:29,400
times 14 many are deceived yes the Lord

1182
01:25:25,289 --> 01:25:32,930
said and manifold prophets shall rise

1183
01:25:29,399 --> 01:25:32,929
and shall deceive many

1184
01:25:33,529 --> 01:25:40,519
well it could also be many false

1185
01:25:37,079 --> 01:25:44,340
prophets shall arise shall rise and

1186
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:47,640
nobody listens to them that would be

1187
01:25:44,340 --> 01:25:54,050
really good but the Lord says no it will

1188
01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:59,850
be different and shall deceive many and

1189
01:25:54,050 --> 01:26:04,590
is a fact that in our times million of

1190
01:25:59,850 --> 01:26:09,720
people receive these messages with open

1191
01:26:04,590 --> 01:26:12,890
hearts instead of just studying the

1192
01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:17,400
Bible going deep into the Bible and

1193
01:26:12,890 --> 01:26:20,160
study prophecy at the sake of Isaiah

1194
01:26:17,399 --> 01:26:26,789
Jeremiah Ezekiel chapter by chapter

1195
01:26:20,159 --> 01:26:33,779
verse by verse the prophets from Isaiah

1196
01:26:26,789 --> 01:26:37,590
to Malachi and so on the speech of the

1197
01:26:33,779 --> 01:26:38,369
Lord on the Mount of the Mount of Olives

1198
01:26:37,590 --> 01:26:41,190
and

1199
01:26:38,369 --> 01:26:45,649
the book of Revelation they listened to

1200
01:26:41,189 --> 01:26:46,879
these people and shall deceive many

1201
01:26:45,649 --> 01:26:51,719
15

1202
01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:54,569
science and wonders there was a

1203
01:26:51,719 --> 01:26:59,149
concentration of signs and wonders in

1204
01:26:54,569 --> 01:27:03,960
the first century when the Apostle

1205
01:26:59,149 --> 01:27:06,089
apostles were living and the Lord says

1206
01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:09,060
in the end times there will also be a

1207
01:27:06,090 --> 01:27:14,130
concentration of signs and wonders

1208
01:27:09,060 --> 01:27:18,060
Matthew 24:24 for there shall arise

1209
01:27:14,130 --> 01:27:21,800
false Christ's and false prophets and

1210
01:27:18,060 --> 01:27:25,140
shall shew great signs and wonders and

1211
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:33,119
so much that if it were possible they

1212
01:27:25,140 --> 01:27:36,510
shall deceive the very elect now in our

1213
01:27:33,119 --> 01:27:39,920
time in the past decades throughout

1214
01:27:36,510 --> 01:27:44,909
these these three waves we saw

1215
01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:48,239
spectacular healing meetings and not

1216
01:27:44,909 --> 01:27:51,960
just fate there's much fake but there

1217
01:27:48,238 --> 01:27:54,839
are also real wonders but the Lord

1218
01:27:51,960 --> 01:28:01,529
announced shall shew great signs and

1219
01:27:54,840 --> 01:28:06,180
wonders and million of Christians say we

1220
01:28:01,529 --> 01:28:08,340
are speaking in tongues and Toronto

1221
01:28:06,180 --> 01:28:14,969
blessing became a supernatural

1222
01:28:08,340 --> 01:28:19,079
phenomenon for thousands of thousands of

1223
01:28:14,969 --> 01:28:22,980
Christians and with this movement of

1224
01:28:19,079 --> 01:28:28,500
signs and wonders many heresies many

1225
01:28:22,979 --> 01:28:31,259
false teachings are linked to this is

1226
01:28:28,500 --> 01:28:37,699
important to see because this helps also

1227
01:28:31,260 --> 01:28:41,340
to detect the spirit behind these

1228
01:28:37,699 --> 01:28:46,050
phenomenon the Lord Jesus himself says

1229
01:28:41,340 --> 01:28:49,770
in Matthew 7:22 many will say to me in

1230
01:28:46,050 --> 01:28:53,520
that day Lord Lord have we not

1231
01:28:49,770 --> 01:28:58,739
prophesied in thy name and in thy name

1232
01:28:53,520 --> 01:29:00,030
have cast out devils or demons in thy

1233
01:28:58,738 --> 01:29:03,419
name done many

1234
01:29:00,029 --> 01:29:08,578
wonderful works and then will I profess

1235
01:29:03,420 --> 01:29:15,059
unto them I never knew you depart from

1236
01:29:08,578 --> 01:29:19,308
me ye that work iniquity so this word

1237
01:29:15,059 --> 01:29:26,029
shows that it is possible even to do

1238
01:29:19,309 --> 01:29:31,199
great miracles without being a real

1239
01:29:26,029 --> 01:29:36,929
disciple of the Lord I do not say that

1240
01:29:31,198 --> 01:29:40,019
all these people who believe the message

1241
01:29:36,929 --> 01:29:46,020
of such players are not true Christians

1242
01:29:40,020 --> 01:29:49,349
this is nothing to do with the reality

1243
01:29:46,020 --> 01:29:55,320
but I just want to show by Matthew 7

1244
01:29:49,349 --> 01:30:00,210
that the possibility is not just for

1245
01:29:55,319 --> 01:30:03,090
some but for many who are not real but

1246
01:30:00,210 --> 01:30:06,000
there are many real Christians real

1247
01:30:03,090 --> 01:30:09,929
children of God really believers in the

1248
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:17,460
Lord Jesus who received his gospel his

1249
01:30:09,929 --> 01:30:24,480
message his forgiveness of sins but they

1250
01:30:17,460 --> 01:30:28,710
follow such teachings and therefore it

1251
01:30:24,479 --> 01:30:34,288
is really a birth pang it's really

1252
01:30:28,710 --> 01:30:37,948
painful what is happening 16 false

1253
01:30:34,288 --> 01:30:42,420
messiahs in Matthew 24 24 the Lord says

1254
01:30:37,948 --> 01:30:46,649
for there shall arise false messiahs and

1255
01:30:42,420 --> 01:30:51,538
false prophets and so on and we can give

1256
01:30:46,649 --> 01:30:58,308
also a list of many people throughout

1257
01:30:51,538 --> 01:31:01,550
the the period of the end times that

1258
01:30:58,309 --> 01:31:05,670
pretended to be Messiah

1259
01:31:01,550 --> 01:31:08,610
just for example Oscar Ernst Bernhardt

1260
01:31:05,670 --> 01:31:11,539
alias actor Sheen who called himself the

1261
01:31:08,609 --> 01:31:16,279
true Christ or

1262
01:31:11,539 --> 01:31:20,750
to Krishnamurti who said in the past to

1263
01:31:16,279 --> 01:31:25,039
be Messiah who came again or George

1264
01:31:20,750 --> 01:31:27,409
Baker area's father divine he considered

1265
01:31:25,039 --> 01:31:34,010
himself to be the second incarnation of

1266
01:31:27,409 --> 01:31:38,840
God and we can go out go on with many

1267
01:31:34,010 --> 01:31:43,280
other examples for example the leader of

1268
01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:47,560
the sect he considered himself the Son

1269
01:31:43,279 --> 01:31:52,009
of God in Messiah but many others like

1270
01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:55,090
Bhagwan Shree Rhenish Guru Maharaj ji

1271
01:31:52,010 --> 01:31:58,699
David Koresh and so on Jim Jones

1272
01:31:55,090 --> 01:32:02,480
Marshall Applewhite Charles Manson and

1273
01:31:58,699 --> 01:32:04,239
of course in Judaism Rabbi Menachem

1274
01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:07,429
Mendel Schneerson

1275
01:32:04,239 --> 01:32:09,250
who is still about four hundred thousand

1276
01:32:07,430 --> 01:32:14,869
adherents

1277
01:32:09,250 --> 01:32:20,000
seventeen tsunamis or large waves in

1278
01:32:14,869 --> 01:32:24,189
Luke 21:25 the Lord says and upon the

1279
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:28,520
earth dismay among the nations in

1280
01:32:24,189 --> 01:32:31,329
perplexity at the roaring of the sea and

1281
01:32:28,520 --> 01:32:34,570
the rolling waves

1282
01:32:31,329 --> 01:32:37,760
so here the Lord is speaking about

1283
01:32:34,569 --> 01:32:42,939
catastrophic by tsunamis and other large

1284
01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:46,850
waves and we can show a list throughout

1285
01:32:42,939 --> 01:32:52,839
the time we are calling end times of

1286
01:32:46,850 --> 01:32:55,460
such terrible tsunamis and large waves

1287
01:32:52,840 --> 01:32:58,489
for example I mentioned among the

1288
01:32:55,460 --> 01:32:59,689
earthquakes Messina Sicily Calabria in

1289
01:32:58,489 --> 01:33:04,069
1908

1290
01:32:59,689 --> 01:33:08,509
this was also a tsunami in Europe within

1291
01:33:04,069 --> 01:33:12,250
all 72,000 dead but think about India

1292
01:33:08,510 --> 01:33:17,420
Sri Lanka Maldives Indonesia Thailand in

1293
01:33:12,250 --> 01:33:22,310
2004 is most terrible tsunami that end

1294
01:33:17,420 --> 01:33:25,489
it by 300,000 dead but what happened

1295
01:33:22,310 --> 01:33:30,590
after in the United States in your Orlan

1296
01:33:25,488 --> 01:33:40,849
and so on it was exactly the fulfillment

1297
01:33:30,590 --> 01:33:44,659
of this prophecy 18 terrorism in Luke

1298
01:33:40,850 --> 01:33:46,550
21:11 the Lord says and great

1299
01:33:44,659 --> 01:33:50,479
earthquakes shall be in diverse places

1300
01:33:46,550 --> 01:33:58,460
and famines and pestilences or epidemics

1301
01:33:50,479 --> 01:34:04,029
and fearful sights what's that now the

1302
01:33:58,460 --> 01:34:09,789
Greek word is for beta which means

1303
01:34:04,029 --> 01:34:13,840
terrible events and also dreadful

1304
01:34:09,789 --> 01:34:16,279
happenings so what is terrorism

1305
01:34:13,840 --> 01:34:24,460
terrorism is just a word taken from

1306
01:34:16,279 --> 01:34:24,460
Latin terror which means terror

1307
01:34:24,729 --> 01:34:34,129
it's a Latin English word and we can say

1308
01:34:29,060 --> 01:34:37,730
that the international terrorism is a

1309
01:34:34,130 --> 01:34:42,829
child of the 20th century and the

1310
01:34:37,729 --> 01:34:50,599
Islamic terrorism so four periods that

1311
01:34:42,829 --> 01:35:01,069
became more and more terrible since 1924

1312
01:34:50,600 --> 01:35:04,789
the 867 and then since 9/11 but there is

1313
01:35:01,069 --> 01:35:06,259
more because for Petra can also mean

1314
01:35:04,789 --> 01:35:12,199
dreadful happenings

1315
01:35:06,260 --> 01:35:15,680
so besides terrorism and beside famines

1316
01:35:12,199 --> 01:35:18,260
that are mentioned in the text like

1317
01:35:15,680 --> 01:35:23,840
tsunamis and earthquakes we can think

1318
01:35:18,260 --> 01:35:27,110
about floods heat waves wildfires oil

1319
01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:33,199
spill volcanism nuclear reactor

1320
01:35:27,109 --> 01:35:36,189
catastrophe catastrophic and so on here

1321
01:35:33,199 --> 01:35:37,969
we see a diagram from the United Nations

1322
01:35:36,189 --> 01:35:42,519
showing

1323
01:35:37,969 --> 01:35:49,789
the trends in number of dreadful

1324
01:35:42,520 --> 01:35:55,150
happenings from 1900 to 2000 and we see

1325
01:35:49,789 --> 01:36:00,529
how it increased in a most terrible an

1326
01:35:55,149 --> 01:36:04,939
unexpected way from 2000 up to from 1900

1327
01:36:00,529 --> 01:36:12,259
up to 2000 so what the United Nations

1328
01:36:04,939 --> 01:36:15,069
shows here and thinks this you have to

1329
01:36:12,260 --> 01:36:20,060
see in connection with global warming's

1330
01:36:15,069 --> 01:36:24,380
now you can say the explanation of these

1331
01:36:20,060 --> 01:36:28,460
facts you can see differently but the

1332
01:36:24,380 --> 01:36:31,219
facts are present and this is a most

1333
01:36:28,460 --> 01:36:36,109
amazing fulfillment of the prophecy in

1334
01:36:31,219 --> 01:36:41,539
Luke 21 then let's go on nama training

1335
01:36:36,109 --> 01:36:46,639
in negative that abounds Matthew 24:12

1336
01:36:41,539 --> 01:36:50,269
and because iniquity in Greek Annamayya

1337
01:36:46,640 --> 01:36:51,910
shall abound the love of many shall wax

1338
01:36:50,270 --> 01:36:56,480
cold

1339
01:36:51,909 --> 01:37:01,039
now the Greek enemy a' translated in the

1340
01:36:56,479 --> 01:37:04,899
King James Version by iniquity means

1341
01:37:01,039 --> 01:37:09,519
also lawlessness violation of law

1342
01:37:04,899 --> 01:37:15,589
wickedness contempt of law and order

1343
01:37:09,520 --> 01:37:19,699
look what happened since the 1960s

1344
01:37:15,590 --> 01:37:24,400
since the 68 revolution which was a

1345
01:37:19,698 --> 01:37:30,349
moral revolution where people said

1346
01:37:24,399 --> 01:37:34,479
immorality is not a moral sexual

1347
01:37:30,350 --> 01:37:38,329
perversion is not perversion it is just

1348
01:37:34,479 --> 01:37:43,639
what is what could be normal adultery

1349
01:37:38,329 --> 01:37:47,479
likewise and divorce became more and

1350
01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:49,550
more a reality of society linked

1351
01:37:47,479 --> 01:37:51,188
together with an increase of aphorisms

1352
01:37:49,550 --> 01:37:54,090
godlessness

1353
01:37:51,189 --> 01:37:59,969
and this again linked in society with

1354
01:37:54,090 --> 01:38:05,619
violence criminality that is increasing

1355
01:37:59,969 --> 01:38:08,969
our catism drug abuse which is amazingly

1356
01:38:05,618 --> 01:38:17,158
increasing since the 1960's up to today

1357
01:38:08,969 --> 01:38:19,658
always energy and abortion abortion

1358
01:38:17,158 --> 01:38:26,288
worldwide according to the United

1359
01:38:19,658 --> 01:38:29,728
Nations 40 million each year we never

1360
01:38:26,288 --> 01:38:33,248
saw something like that in world history

1361
01:38:29,729 --> 01:38:39,189
the Lord just says and because iniquity

1362
01:38:33,248 --> 01:38:42,908
shall abound but all the things have of

1363
01:38:39,189 --> 01:38:47,949
course of course an effect on our

1364
01:38:42,908 --> 01:38:51,339
emotions on our soul on our inner man

1365
01:38:47,948 --> 01:38:55,208
and the Lord Jesus says and because

1366
01:38:51,340 --> 01:39:02,610
iniquity shall abound the love of many

1367
01:38:55,208 --> 01:39:06,219
shall wax cold and so all these facts

1368
01:39:02,609 --> 01:39:14,259
for example only the abortion of 40

1369
01:39:06,219 --> 01:39:18,158
million babies a year doesn't shock the

1370
01:39:14,260 --> 01:39:20,079
civil civilized world anymore the mass

1371
01:39:18,158 --> 01:39:21,868
in society is no more shocked about that

1372
01:39:20,078 --> 01:39:26,259
what what happened

1373
01:39:21,868 --> 01:39:32,768
the love the natural affections for

1374
01:39:26,260 --> 01:39:38,380
these babies became cold and all this

1375
01:39:32,769 --> 01:39:43,179
lifestyle that was propagated by the 68

1376
01:39:38,380 --> 01:39:48,989
movement destroyed in so many people in

1377
01:39:43,179 --> 01:39:52,510
our society the inner emotions and

1378
01:39:48,988 --> 01:39:57,879
feelings because they were herded by

1379
01:39:52,510 --> 01:40:02,429
this but then let's go on 22 the gospel

1380
01:39:57,880 --> 01:40:04,400
for all nations the Lord adds in Matthew

1381
01:40:02,429 --> 01:40:06,920
24:14 and

1382
01:40:04,399 --> 01:40:10,670
gospel of the kingdom shall be preached

1383
01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:17,060
in all the world for a witness unto all

1384
01:40:10,670 --> 01:40:19,730
nations and then shall the end come here

1385
01:40:17,060 --> 01:40:25,989
it does no more say but the the end is

1386
01:40:19,729 --> 01:40:25,988
not at hand then shall the end come

1387
01:40:27,219 --> 01:40:34,850
now the gospel should reach all the

1388
01:40:31,369 --> 01:40:40,429
nations and look in the Greek text we

1389
01:40:34,850 --> 01:40:44,780
have here the word at nas for nation not

1390
01:40:40,429 --> 01:40:50,510
Laos which would be the real word for

1391
01:40:44,779 --> 01:40:55,819
people and not the term tribe or tribes

1392
01:40:50,510 --> 01:41:02,000
but nations and Aetna's according to the

1393
01:40:55,819 --> 01:41:08,599
Greek lexicon of lone Ida says this is

1394
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:13,819
the biggest social unity the smallest

1395
01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:18,260
unity is a couple then the family then

1396
01:41:13,819 --> 01:41:20,630
the clan the tribe the people but many

1397
01:41:18,260 --> 01:41:24,409
people together in India for example

1398
01:41:20,630 --> 01:41:29,750
form one nation the nation at NAS of

1399
01:41:24,408 --> 01:41:35,448
India and so the Lord says until the end

1400
01:41:29,750 --> 01:41:43,908
not all men will be reached by the

1401
01:41:35,448 --> 01:41:46,729
gospel but all nations and in 1800 the

1402
01:41:43,908 --> 01:41:50,448
Bible was translated in only 70

1403
01:41:46,729 --> 01:41:52,879
languages but then in the time of the

1404
01:41:50,448 --> 01:41:56,649
Great Awakening in North America and

1405
01:41:52,880 --> 01:41:59,779
northern Europe people became aware

1406
01:41:56,649 --> 01:42:03,170
about the need to bring the gospel to

1407
01:41:59,779 --> 01:42:05,899
all the nations and already in 1830 the

1408
01:42:03,170 --> 01:42:10,250
Bible was translated in 157 languages

1409
01:42:05,899 --> 01:42:13,969
and today the Bible or parts of the

1410
01:42:10,250 --> 01:42:15,948
Bible are translated in more than 3,300

1411
01:42:13,969 --> 01:42:22,208
languages

1412
01:42:15,948 --> 01:42:25,819
and by global recordings Network

1413
01:42:22,208 --> 01:42:28,069
biblical messages are available today in

1414
01:42:25,819 --> 01:42:30,828
about six thousand six thousand

1415
01:42:28,069 --> 01:42:34,458
languages and dialects and by Ray you're

1416
01:42:30,828 --> 01:42:38,899
broadcasting all over the world people

1417
01:42:34,458 --> 01:42:41,988
in all the nations have access to the

1418
01:42:38,899 --> 01:42:47,328
Bible and also by internet of course so

1419
01:42:41,988 --> 01:42:49,759
we are now in this time when Mark 1310

1420
01:42:47,328 --> 01:42:56,029
is fulfilled and the gospel must first

1421
01:42:49,760 --> 01:43:01,880
be published among all nations and so we

1422
01:42:56,029 --> 01:43:06,828
can prove that we are really in the end

1423
01:43:01,880 --> 01:43:11,949
times let us see three conclusions out

1424
01:43:06,828 --> 01:43:16,130
of this lecture first we realize God

1425
01:43:11,948 --> 01:43:19,339
exists the fulfilled prophecy of the

1426
01:43:16,130 --> 01:43:22,219
Bible proves that God is here and he

1427
01:43:19,340 --> 01:43:27,498
holds the whole world in his hands also

1428
01:43:22,219 --> 01:43:31,399
my personal fate my personal life that's

1429
01:43:27,498 --> 01:43:34,939
comforting a comforting conclusion out

1430
01:43:31,399 --> 01:43:38,538
of the Bible also the time in which we

1431
01:43:34,939 --> 01:43:39,759
are living today is in the hands of the

1432
01:43:38,538 --> 01:43:44,268
Almighty

1433
01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:50,869
nothing can happen in my life which he

1434
01:43:44,269 --> 01:43:53,269
doesn't allow but to the fulfilled

1435
01:43:50,868 --> 01:43:57,380
prophecy proves that the Bible is not a

1436
01:43:53,269 --> 01:44:01,059
human book but the Bible is the Word of

1437
01:43:57,380 --> 01:44:06,010
God inspired by God the Bible is fully

1438
01:44:01,059 --> 01:44:09,650
trustworthy and a consequence would be

1439
01:44:06,010 --> 01:44:14,989
read a portion of the Bible every day if

1440
01:44:09,649 --> 01:44:19,848
you do not yet begin tomorrow by reading

1441
01:44:14,988 --> 01:44:24,018
a chapter maybe John one next day John 2

1442
01:44:19,849 --> 01:44:27,860
and so on read a portion of the my

1443
01:44:24,019 --> 01:44:29,520
believer every day asking God in prayer

1444
01:44:27,859 --> 01:44:34,469
to

1445
01:44:29,520 --> 01:44:36,240
through his work to your heart so read

1446
01:44:34,470 --> 01:44:39,869
the Bible in order to learn about God's

1447
01:44:36,239 --> 01:44:42,329
message for you personally and he will

1448
01:44:39,869 --> 01:44:48,210
speak personally to you and to your

1449
01:44:42,329 --> 01:44:51,390
heart 3 the conversion to God is a must

1450
01:44:48,210 --> 01:44:52,170
for me in order to be reconciled with

1451
01:44:51,390 --> 01:44:57,680
God

1452
01:44:52,170 --> 01:45:02,340
this Bible says that we all are sinners

1453
01:44:57,680 --> 01:45:04,770
because we failed to uphold and follow

1454
01:45:02,340 --> 01:45:07,039
really the commandments of the Bible and

1455
01:45:04,770 --> 01:45:12,720
this is a proof that we are sinners

1456
01:45:07,039 --> 01:45:17,909
because we are sinning sinning but what

1457
01:45:12,720 --> 01:45:23,340
can we do in first John 1 verse 9 we

1458
01:45:17,909 --> 01:45:27,479
read if we confess our sins he is

1459
01:45:23,340 --> 01:45:29,520
faithful and just to forgive us our sins

1460
01:45:27,479 --> 01:45:33,209
and to cleanse us from all

1461
01:45:29,520 --> 01:45:38,190
unrighteousness so this is a wonderful

1462
01:45:33,210 --> 01:45:42,859
promise and valid up to today if we

1463
01:45:38,189 --> 01:45:48,329
confess and regret really our sins

1464
01:45:42,859 --> 01:45:50,369
before God in prayer we can know that he

1465
01:45:48,329 --> 01:45:54,439
will it is a promise

1466
01:45:50,369 --> 01:45:57,349
he will forgive us our sins and to

1467
01:45:54,439 --> 01:46:00,839
cleanse us from all unrighteousness

1468
01:45:57,350 --> 01:46:04,740
sometimes people think well but if I

1469
01:46:00,840 --> 01:46:08,039
look back into my past I say things God

1470
01:46:04,739 --> 01:46:10,880
will never be able to forgive but then

1471
01:46:08,039 --> 01:46:14,359
we can encourage the Bible text says

1472
01:46:10,880 --> 01:46:18,029
cleanse us from all unrighteousness

1473
01:46:14,359 --> 01:46:21,869
there is nothing in the past that could

1474
01:46:18,029 --> 01:46:24,239
not be forgiven but why because Messiah

1475
01:46:21,869 --> 01:46:26,189
came the first time to resolve the

1476
01:46:24,239 --> 01:46:30,840
problem the fundamental problem of

1477
01:46:26,189 --> 01:46:35,250
humanity the problem of our sins the

1478
01:46:30,840 --> 01:46:40,670
Lord Jesus was ready to bear the wrath

1479
01:46:35,250 --> 01:46:40,670
the righteous wrath of God against sin

1480
01:46:41,159 --> 01:46:52,109
as I replace meant he was on the cross

1481
01:46:44,220 --> 01:46:55,530
and God put sins upon him and he judged

1482
01:46:52,109 --> 01:47:00,000
him in place of all those who will

1483
01:46:55,529 --> 01:47:05,750
receive this sacrifice of Christ through

1484
01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:09,739
faith and this sacrifice of Christ is

1485
01:47:05,750 --> 01:47:16,529
enough for everybody for the whole world

1486
01:47:09,739 --> 01:47:20,639
every single human being can come repent

1487
01:47:16,529 --> 01:47:25,309
confess the sins and believe in the word

1488
01:47:20,640 --> 01:47:29,090
of the Lord Jesus and God will attribute

1489
01:47:25,310 --> 01:47:34,650
the work of the Lord Jesus on the cross

1490
01:47:29,090 --> 01:47:39,180
to this middle person to every to me and

1491
01:47:34,649 --> 01:47:47,339
to you if you receive it in real sincere

1492
01:47:39,180 --> 01:47:49,619
faith and just to finish I said the

1493
01:47:47,340 --> 01:47:53,010
coming of Christ as the triumphant

1494
01:47:49,619 --> 01:47:57,649
Messiah is still in future and before

1495
01:47:53,010 --> 01:48:01,199
will be the edge the great tribulation

1496
01:47:57,649 --> 01:48:03,329
which is described in all details for

1497
01:48:01,199 --> 01:48:06,510
example in the book of Revelation at the

1498
01:48:03,329 --> 01:48:09,390
end of the Bible three and a half years

1499
01:48:06,510 --> 01:48:14,600
the most Herald World War and just

1500
01:48:09,390 --> 01:48:22,340
before Antichrist will come the most

1501
01:48:14,600 --> 01:48:24,800
terrible deceiver but there is a mystery

1502
01:48:22,340 --> 01:48:30,630
the mystery of rapture

1503
01:48:24,800 --> 01:48:32,270
first Corinthians 15:51 and first

1504
01:48:30,630 --> 01:48:37,079
Thessalonians 4:13

1505
01:48:32,270 --> 01:48:41,670
218 speaks about this rapture that Jesus

1506
01:48:37,079 --> 01:48:49,050
Christ will come just before to take

1507
01:48:41,670 --> 01:48:54,090
away all those who believe now in him in

1508
01:48:49,050 --> 01:48:54,850
order to protect them from the most

1509
01:48:54,090 --> 01:48:57,460
terrible

1510
01:48:54,850 --> 01:49:02,640
judgements that will come upon this

1511
01:48:57,460 --> 01:49:10,300
world so this is a wonderful family

1512
01:49:02,640 --> 01:49:18,570
mystery and in relation 3 verse 10 the

1513
01:49:10,300 --> 01:49:22,659
Lord gives this promise to the church

1514
01:49:18,569 --> 01:49:26,439
saying because thou hast kept the word

1515
01:49:22,659 --> 01:49:31,389
of my patience I also will keep thee

1516
01:49:26,439 --> 01:49:33,789
from the hour of temptation which shall

1517
01:49:31,390 --> 01:49:38,039
come upon all the world to try them that

1518
01:49:33,789 --> 01:49:42,430
dwell upon the earth note I come quickly

1519
01:49:38,039 --> 01:49:46,810
hold it fast what thou hast that no man

1520
01:49:42,430 --> 01:49:52,240
take thy crown so the Lord says I will

1521
01:49:46,810 --> 01:49:55,450
keep you from the hour of temptation and

1522
01:49:52,239 --> 01:49:58,300
the hour of temptation is the period

1523
01:49:55,449 --> 01:50:00,069
just before the end before the Great

1524
01:49:58,300 --> 01:50:04,630
Tribulation when Antichrist will come

1525
01:50:00,069 --> 01:50:09,119
and all those who believe now in Messiah

1526
01:50:04,630 --> 01:50:14,250
Jesus as their Lord and personal Savior

1527
01:50:09,119 --> 01:50:19,090
they will be raptured into the glory I

1528
01:50:14,250 --> 01:50:21,939
would like to give a hint to my book I

1529
01:50:19,090 --> 01:50:26,590

1530
01:50:21,939 --> 01:50:29,979
lecture but much more are we really

1531
