190 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:04.600 We are being conditioned to need technology and information 191 00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:07.240 and we're becoming more and more dependent upon it. 192 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:08.520 We want more power. 193 00:11:08.520 --> 00:11:09.600 We want more speed. 194 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:11.360 We want more convenience. 195 00:11:12.340 --> 00:11:14.160 And it's actually kind of scary, 196 00:11:14.160 --> 00:11:17.000 but you know what also happens during that time? 197 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:18.360 Well, I'm gonna come back to it. 198 00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:19.200 Hold on. 199 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:21.440 The next thing that's interesting 200 00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:24.320 actually comes out of Daniel 12.4. 201 00:11:24.340 --> 00:11:27.900 And this is global travel and knowledge. 202 00:11:27.900 --> 00:11:29.820 And then I'm gonna go back to the economic system. 203 00:11:29.820 --> 00:11:30.660 Hang on. 204 00:11:30.660 --> 00:11:32.660 All right, so out of Daniel 12.4. 205 00:11:32.660 --> 00:11:36.100 But you, Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll 206 00:11:36.100 --> 00:11:37.660 until the time of the end. 207 00:11:37.660 --> 00:11:42.660 Many will go here and there to increase knowledge. 208 00:11:43.180 --> 00:11:44.660 Who would have ever thought 209 00:11:44.660 --> 00:11:47.460 we would be having Bible studies on Zoom? 210 00:11:48.500 --> 00:11:49.460 Who would have ever thought 211 00:11:49.460 --> 00:11:50.940 we would be able to get on a plane 212 00:11:50.940 --> 00:11:54.300 and fly globally anywhere that we want to? 213 00:11:55.140 --> 00:11:57.920 And with that also comes knowledge. 214 00:11:57.920 --> 00:11:59.920 We're able to communicate globally. 215 00:11:59.920 --> 00:12:02.480 We're able to travel globally. 216 00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:06.500 This explosion of knowledge was prophesied 217 00:12:06.500 --> 00:12:08.140 thousands of years ago. 218 00:12:09.820 --> 00:12:11.400 Did it exist before now? 219 00:12:11.400 --> 00:12:12.240 No. 220 00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:13.600 Did it happen during the time of the Crusaders? 221 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:14.480 No. 222 00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.300 Did it happen during World War II, World War I, 223 00:12:17.300 --> 00:12:18.160 any other war? 224 00:12:18.160 --> 00:12:19.100 No. 225 00:12:19.100 --> 00:12:21.760 It's happening now. 226 00:12:21.760 --> 00:12:22.600 Okay? 227 00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:27.080 Another very interesting sign 228 00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:29.040 is the global economic system. 229 00:12:29.040 --> 00:12:30.220 Now, I don't know about you, 230 00:12:30.220 --> 00:12:33.880 but I've been watching the whole Bitcoin thing happening. 231 00:12:33.880 --> 00:12:35.560 And there is this push 232 00:12:35.560 --> 00:12:38.480 to go to some sort of digital currency. 233 00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:40.380 Have you been following it? 234 00:12:40.380 --> 00:12:43.560 You know, they're wanting to be able to monitor movement 235 00:12:43.560 --> 00:12:45.200 within our bank accounts. 236 00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:46.040 I'm sorry. 237 00:12:46.040 --> 00:12:47.940 I just don't think that information 238 00:12:47.940 --> 00:12:51.000 is necessarily anybody's business. 239 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:52.320 I like my freedom. 240 00:12:53.300 --> 00:12:54.660 Amen. 241 00:12:54.660 --> 00:12:57.100 All the Americans said, amen. 242 00:12:57.100 --> 00:12:57.920 We want freedom. 243 00:12:57.920 --> 00:12:59.580 I don't want the government in my life. 244 00:12:59.580 --> 00:13:02.140 I want to be able to share the gospel 245 00:13:02.140 --> 00:13:05.100 and preach the word and love people. 246 00:13:05.100 --> 00:13:06.620 But this technology, 247 00:13:06.620 --> 00:13:11.620 this global system of finance is really disturbing 248 00:13:12.380 --> 00:13:14.380 because who's going to control it? 249 00:13:16.500 --> 00:13:21.500 And could that global economic system be the beast? 250 00:13:22.340 --> 00:13:24.260 We don't know, 251 00:13:24.260 --> 00:13:28.100 but it's never existed until now. 252 00:13:28.100 --> 00:13:30.820 There are people, globalists, 253 00:13:30.820 --> 00:13:33.040 who want to control the world economy. 254 00:13:33.040 --> 00:13:33.880 Okay? 255 00:13:33.880 --> 00:13:35.420 You say, well, where is that in the Bible? 256 00:13:35.420 --> 00:13:37.980 Well, I'm back to Revelations 13. 257 00:13:37.980 --> 00:13:39.820 I think I've already read it. 258 00:13:39.820 --> 00:13:42.540 And he also forced everyone, great and small, 259 00:13:42.540 --> 00:13:43.820 poor and free and slave, 260 00:13:43.820 --> 00:13:48.220 to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead 261 00:13:48.220 --> 00:13:50.820 so that no one would be able to buy or sell 262 00:13:50.880 --> 00:13:52.800 unless they had the mark. 263 00:13:52.800 --> 00:13:53.720 Okay. 264 00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:56.320 Why do you think so many people were freaked out 265 00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:57.920 about taking a vaccine? 266 00:13:57.920 --> 00:13:59.200 Is it the mark of the beast? 267 00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:00.640 No. 268 00:14:00.640 --> 00:14:01.480 We're not there yet. 269 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:03.800 We're not halfway through the tribulation. 270 00:14:03.800 --> 00:14:06.200 On the timeline of when this happens, 271 00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:10.420 it happens three and a half years into the tribulation. 272 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:12.560 You won't be able to survive. 273 00:14:12.560 --> 00:14:14.320 You won't be able to, 274 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:17.960 unless you're part of this economic system, 275 00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:19.240 it will be difficult. 276 00:14:20.180 --> 00:14:22.260 The next thing I want to talk about 277 00:14:22.260 --> 00:14:27.260 is probably two of the biggest signs 278 00:14:28.260 --> 00:14:30.440 that have never, ever, ever existed 279 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:32.940 in human history until now. 280 00:14:32.940 --> 00:14:37.180 And the first one that comes out of Luke 21, verse 24. 281 00:14:38.180 --> 00:14:40.100 And in verse 24, it says, 282 00:14:40.100 --> 00:14:43.300 Jerusalem shall be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles 283 00:14:43.300 --> 00:14:45.460 until the time of the Gentiles is fulfilled. 284 00:14:45.460 --> 00:14:48.340 Now, this is called dispensational theology 285 00:14:48.880 --> 00:14:51.880 and many theologians believe 286 00:14:51.880 --> 00:14:55.080 that when we got to the end of that timeframe, 287 00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:59.860 it was like a shift in human time, in human history. 288 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.000 And I'm not that, you know 289 00:15:02.760 --> 00:15:09.240 scholar when it comes to comparing the Hebrew and the Aramaic and and all of the things that are listed in the book of Daniel, 290 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.600 but when you think about it when Israel was went to war in 291 00:15:14.560 --> 00:15:16.560 1967 and 292 00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:19.920 Jerusalem came back into the hands of the Jews and 293 00:15:20.160 --> 00:15:26.440 The Jews were able to go back up onto the Temple Mount and they were able to establish Jerusalem as their capital 294 00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:29.760 That had not happened ever in human history 295 00:15:33.160 --> 00:15:40.680 That's a big one Donald Trump put the at the American Embassy back in Jerusalem, that was a big deal 296 00:15:42.640 --> 00:15:48.440 That's out of Luke 21 and Luke 21 parallels a lot Matthew 24, okay 297 00:15:50.560 --> 00:15:52.560 It's a sign 298 00:15:53.520 --> 00:15:57.440 It's a sign and the last big one that I 299 00:15:58.760 --> 00:16:00.760 always refer to 300 00:16:00.760 --> 00:16:04.040 That is really significant globally 301 00:16:04.760 --> 00:16:05.880 is 302 00:16:05.880 --> 00:16:08.760 the formation of the nation of Israel 303 00:16:09.680 --> 00:16:11.680 May 16th 304 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:13.760 1948 305 00:16:13.760 --> 00:16:19.240 Israel came back into the hands of the Jews. I think I have that date, right? If I don't I'll try to fix it down below 306 00:16:19.880 --> 00:16:21.880 And why is that significant? 307 00:16:23.560 --> 00:16:30.600 Because it was prophesied in Isaiah 66 verse 8 starting verse 8 who's ever heard of such a thing 308 00:16:31.800 --> 00:16:33.560 Who has ever seen? 309 00:16:33.560 --> 00:16:35.240 such a thing 310 00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:41.080 Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? 311 00:16:42.040 --> 00:16:46.920 Yet no sooner is Zion and labor than she gives birth to her children 312 00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:50.080 You know 313 00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:52.360 Israel was born in a day 314 00:16:53.640 --> 00:17:00.000 When they passed that legislation when Truman said yes, we're gonna give them their own nation. We're gonna give them a land 315 00:17:00.560 --> 00:17:06.880 When the Holocaust survivors were coming by boatloads from from Europe to re-establish a lane 316 00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:12.079 And you know when they came to the land, not only was that a sign in the wonder of 317 00:17:12.760 --> 00:17:18.119 Bringing the dysphoria from the ends of the earth, but they continue to come back to the land 318 00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:25.119 Which is also Bible prophecy and then what they did in the land how they restored the land how it's blooming. It's flowering 319 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:27.119 It's growing. It's prospering 320 00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:32.800 It has an army that can stand up to anyone that would try to attack it 321 00:17:33.360 --> 00:17:38.040 This is all Bible prophecy. It's coming to pass 322 00:17:39.280 --> 00:17:43.400 It's never happened in any other human lifetime 323 00:17:45.120 --> 00:17:47.800 It's an exciting time to be alive 324 00:17:48.280 --> 00:17:54.800 It's an exciting time to read your Bible with anticipation and look forward to what is God gonna do next on the earth? 325 00:17:55.680 --> 00:18:00.320 Are you awake? Are you watching what he's doing? 326 00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:05.080 This promise comes out of Psalms 139 327 00:18:05.760 --> 00:18:11.000 Five and six you've gone into my future to prepare the way and in my end in kindness 328 00:18:11.080 --> 00:18:16.120 You follow behind me to spare me from the harm of my past. You've laid your hand on me 329 00:18:16.520 --> 00:18:19.000 This is too wonderful deep and incomprehensible 330 00:18:19.800 --> 00:18:23.840 Your understanding of me brings me wonder and strength 331 00:18:23.840 --> 00:18:28.440 You know God knows you and he knows that you were born for such a time as this 332 00:18:28.760 --> 00:18:35.680 He knows that you're gonna walk into the the blessing of God in the season that you're gonna be a light to other 333 00:18:35.800 --> 00:18:38.080 Believers that you're gonna share the Word of God 334 00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:45.120 You were born for this. So don't don't look at this with dread. Look at this with 335 00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:48.000 Anticipation God is a big God 336 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:55.480 He's doing big and exciting things in our lives and you get to be a part of it 337 00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:58.880 You know, I love the saying that says 338 00:19:00.520 --> 00:19:05.720 Why watch Bible prophecy when you can be a part of it and 339 00:19:06.560 --> 00:19:08.560 By watching this broadcast 340 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:13.480 You're you're a part of it. Who knows who's listening to this or where you are. I 341 00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:20.280 Just want to thank you for allowing me to share things that are near and dear to my heart 342 00:19:20.840 --> 00:19:27.480 And I want you to always remember that you were born to live in such a time as this. He's faithful and 343 00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:30.400 It shall come to pass 344 00:19:31.080 --> 00:19:33.400 Have a great day. Thank you for listening 345 00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:46.080 You
