In these deliberate studies of principalities and powers, 3 00:00:15.070 --> 00:00:19.680 we will be exposing the occult, revealing knowledge of the doctrines, words, 4 00:00:19.690 --> 00:00:23.700 rites, eulogies, phrases, and definitions that demon worshippers use. 5 00:00:24.110 --> 00:00:28.140 The only intelligent way to interpret our times is to present a biblical 6 00:00:28.150 --> 00:00:32.660 interpretation. Jesus prophesied that his church shall prevail. 7 00:00:32.990 --> 00:00:35.820 In Matthew 16, verse 18, he said, 8 00:00:35.990 --> 00:00:38.580 Upon this rock I will build my church, 9 00:00:38.590 --> 00:00:41.880 and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 10 00:00:42.090 --> 00:00:46.800 Today the church must rise up to the greatest action of its entire history. 11 00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:51.170 I have personally enjoyed this class, 12 00:00:51.500 --> 00:00:57.410 and it has brought deep satisfaction into my personal spiritual being, 13 00:00:57.420 --> 00:01:01.330 and the reason for that is the intensity of your study. 14 00:01:01.360 --> 00:01:06.010 I feel the with me thing. 15 00:01:06.180 --> 00:01:08.150 It encourages me very much. 16 00:01:08.340 --> 00:01:12.450 And as we begin studying lesson number 17, 17 00:01:12.800 --> 00:01:15.990 it's called apocalyptic times. 18 00:01:16.580 --> 00:01:19.650 As you know, that simply means prophetic times. 19 00:01:19.860 --> 00:01:24.570 And that these are prophetic times in which we live today. 20 00:01:24.810 --> 00:01:27.420 In the book of Daniel, chapter 12 and verse 2, 21 00:01:27.430 --> 00:01:30.860 it says that many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake. 22 00:01:31.270 --> 00:01:35.990 That is the great resurrection. It says, some to everlasting life, 23 00:01:36.540 --> 00:01:41.110 that's the first resurrection, and some to shame and everlasting contempt, 24 00:01:41.160 --> 00:01:43.570 that is the second resurrection. 25 00:01:44.060 --> 00:01:50.020 It is wonderful to be alive and also to be a reporter for God in 26 00:01:50.030 --> 00:01:51.640 these days in which we live today. 27 00:01:52.070 --> 00:01:57.270 And the portentous events, heaping up, heaping up with importance, 28 00:01:57.850 --> 00:02:01.720 the portentous events that we're dealing with at this time, 29 00:02:02.750 --> 00:02:04.820 because we are in the century. 30 00:02:05.170 --> 00:02:11.160 And that will be the culmination of this dispensation before we begin the millennial 31 00:02:11.170 --> 00:02:12.700 reign of the Lord Jesus Christ. 32 00:02:13.980 --> 00:02:18.890 We're dealing now with the final phase of human history upon the face of this earth. 33 00:02:18.900 --> 00:02:21.130 Most people believe that and know it. 34 00:02:21.630 --> 00:02:25.480 For sure, in the next 20 or less years, 35 00:02:28.370 --> 00:02:33.680 Bible prophecy and Bible interpretation of history will be more 36 00:02:33.690 --> 00:02:36.900 dramatic, more remarkable, more amazing. 37 00:02:37.130 --> 00:02:40.920 than it has been in the last even 4 ,000 years, 38 00:02:40.950 --> 00:02:43.620 and for sure the last 2 ,000 years. 39 00:02:44.270 --> 00:02:47.420 This might seem incredulous to those who do not believe, 40 00:02:48.140 --> 00:02:53.730 but each day of the future will prove that we are living in apocalyptic 41 00:02:53.740 --> 00:02:55.290 times today. 42 00:02:58.130 --> 00:03:01.400 We believe it to be astronomical in importance. 43 00:03:02.430 --> 00:03:05.980 That's mighty big. And that the truth, 44 00:03:06.190 --> 00:03:08.980 that the key prophecies are the ages. 45 00:03:09.390 --> 00:03:13.630 which have been sealed for the centuries are no longer sealed. 46 00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:18.790 That the amazing prophecy given by Daniel in chapter 12 of his book, 47 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:24.580 which reads, verse 1, And at that time shall Michael stand up the great prince which 48 00:03:24.590 --> 00:03:26.440 standeth for the children of thy people. 49 00:03:26.910 --> 00:03:30.980 Now, if you study scriptures like this in the word of spirit, 50 00:03:31.510 --> 00:03:36.620 you'll notice immediately that Michael is the angel who stands for the people of 51 00:03:36.630 --> 00:03:41.230 Israel. And that every time the people of Israel are helped, are blessed. 52 00:03:41.480 --> 00:03:47.450 He is the key angel of heaven that standeth for the children of thy 53 00:03:47.460 --> 00:03:49.230 people. Now, you don't have to guess about that. 54 00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:52.890 The Bible says so. And if God says so, then it's that way. 55 00:03:52.940 --> 00:03:55.330 He is the militant angel of heaven. 56 00:03:55.420 --> 00:04:00.130 Gabriel is the telecommunications angel that carries all the news anywhere, 57 00:04:00.140 --> 00:04:02.650 everywhere. He's the news bearer of heaven. 58 00:04:03.270 --> 00:04:08.880 But this Michael said, and there shall be a time of trouble such as never was since 59 00:04:08.890 --> 00:04:11.750 there was a nation. Now, you have to let that sink in. 60 00:04:11.900 --> 00:04:15.630 A time of trouble since there never was, 61 00:04:15.640 --> 00:04:18.750 even since there was a nation on the face of this earth. 62 00:04:19.130 --> 00:04:22.980 And at that time, your people, that's the Hebrew people, 63 00:04:22.990 --> 00:04:26.700 the Israeli people, they shall be delivered. 64 00:04:26.850 --> 00:04:29.840 Now, that's good news for them because sometimes it don't look like they're going to 65 00:04:29.850 --> 00:04:30.850 make it. 66 00:04:31.220 --> 00:04:35.350 And everyone that shall be found written in the book. 67 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:38.620 And I'm glad he put everyone. 68 00:04:39.370 --> 00:04:41.740 be found written in the book, they will be delivered also. 69 00:04:41.910 --> 00:04:45.040 Verse 2, And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, 70 00:04:45.050 --> 00:04:47.300 some to everlasting life, some to everlasting content. 71 00:04:47.530 --> 00:04:52.600 And they that be wise, I'd surround this verse, I think, with a line if I were you. 72 00:04:53.030 --> 00:04:55.660 They that be wise, that's you and me, 73 00:04:56.430 --> 00:04:59.060 they shall shine as the brightness of the firmament. 74 00:04:59.250 --> 00:05:00.920 It's time to put on some glitter, 75 00:05:01.470 --> 00:05:02.470 everybody. 76 00:05:03.150 --> 00:05:07.260 And they that turn many to righteousness, that's a real evangelist, you see. 77 00:05:07.860 --> 00:05:10.530 They shall shine as the stars forever and ever. 78 00:05:11.190 --> 00:05:13.020 It's worth winning souls to Jesus. 79 00:05:15.030 --> 00:05:18.880 But you, Daniel, you can shut up the words and seal the book. 80 00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:23.630 Now, it was sealed, you see, for almost, well, 81 00:05:23.640 --> 00:05:25.830 from 900 years before Christ until now. 82 00:05:26.390 --> 00:05:27.820 Almost 3 ,000 years. 83 00:05:28.490 --> 00:05:31.160 You can seal the book even at the time of the end. 84 00:05:31.170 --> 00:05:33.400 At the time of the end, it was going to be a difference, you see. 85 00:05:33.710 --> 00:05:35.700 Are you following it close in the words, you see? 86 00:05:35.710 --> 00:05:37.000 How many believe the Bible? 87 00:05:37.020 --> 00:05:40.710 You see, if we don't have a basis of faith, then we don't know what to teach. 88 00:05:40.780 --> 00:05:44.290 You've got to have something somewhere that says, now this is it, and I believe it. 89 00:05:44.300 --> 00:05:49.090 And then that is the Word of God. It has stood, and it will always stand. 90 00:05:49.100 --> 00:05:53.310 Many shall run to and fro, and we will be speaking about that, 91 00:05:53.320 --> 00:05:55.630 and knowledge shall be increased. 92 00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:00.410 Possibly one of the most outstanding prophecies of the entire Bible, this is. 93 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:04.650 It says, at the end time, the people of Israel will be in their own land as a people 94 00:06:04.660 --> 00:06:07.960 with their own flag. Now, all through the centuries, you see, 95 00:06:07.970 --> 00:06:10.520 that was just to say, oh, I don't understand that. 96 00:06:10.530 --> 00:06:13.280 Well, it was closed to them. They couldn't see it anyway. 97 00:06:13.950 --> 00:06:18.740 But it says at that time, the entire world should have trouble since there was a 98 00:06:18.750 --> 00:06:23.400 nation. And this situation, I believe, is upon our world, 99 00:06:23.410 --> 00:06:25.920 our total world as of this moment. 100 00:06:26.300 --> 00:06:31.350 And God says unequivocally that he will deliver the people of Israel. 101 00:06:31.620 --> 00:06:33.270 And so they can just believe it. 102 00:06:33.280 --> 00:06:35.370 Whether they believe it or not, he's still going to do it. 103 00:06:35.380 --> 00:06:37.430 They'll believe it when it's done, I assure you that. 104 00:06:38.670 --> 00:06:40.920 He tells you about the two resurrections, 105 00:06:40.930 --> 00:06:45.180 the resurrection of the just and the resurrection of the unjust. 106 00:06:45.810 --> 00:06:51.730 Now, in verse 4, it says that that book had been closed and sealed unto the time 107 00:06:51.740 --> 00:06:57.130 of the end. We have come at this point in history to the removing of the seal 108 00:06:57.140 --> 00:07:01.810 and the opening of the truth to where it's very simple for you and for me to 109 00:07:01.820 --> 00:07:05.950 understand the truth of God. And I'm so glad to be living right now. 110 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:09.810 in such a period of time when the book of God is open to us, 111 00:07:09.820 --> 00:07:14.530 understandable to us, and we can look forward to the total fulfillment in our 112 00:07:14.540 --> 00:07:17.030 lifetime. Hey, that's great. Can you say amen? 113 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:18.040 Amen. 114 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:24.730 We find wise men grappling with prophetical locks and keys day and night, 115 00:07:24.740 --> 00:07:28.370 seeking to find the right combination to open the door of the resplendent revelation 116 00:07:28.380 --> 00:07:30.610 of the Most High. They don't have to. 117 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:35.210 God is revealing the truth of God as spoken to us by Isaiah, Jeremiah, 118 00:07:35.220 --> 00:07:39.360 Ezekiel, Daniel, Joel. And Jesus Christ and the apostles, even Peter, Paul, 119 00:07:39.370 --> 00:07:43.560 and John are telling us the great things that are coming to pass in these last days. 120 00:07:43.910 --> 00:07:47.520 The learned men of this world are not studying prophecy yet. 121 00:07:48.070 --> 00:07:51.570 They are dreaming of a fantasy future. 122 00:07:52.810 --> 00:07:55.280 And you better believe it. You know what they want? 123 00:07:55.410 --> 00:07:58.980 They want their whole world to be a Disney world where you just go round and round 124 00:07:58.990 --> 00:08:02.300 and round. That's what they want. That's what the world wants today. 125 00:08:02.570 --> 00:08:05.740 Since Adam and Eve lost their true dream world in the Garden of Eden, 126 00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:12.030 Where they did not labor by the sweat of their brow, nor groan in bodily pain, 127 00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:14.270 a man has sought to regain his utopia. 128 00:08:14.820 --> 00:08:20.730 He sought to regain it. Tremendous concerted effort was made just after the flood 129 00:08:20.740 --> 00:08:25.310 when mankind endeavored to build himself a tower to reach heaven where he wouldn't 130 00:08:25.320 --> 00:08:26.450 need God anymore. 131 00:08:27.830 --> 00:08:30.840 And that's what caused all the languages on the face of the earth. 132 00:08:30.850 --> 00:08:35.560 From that confused failure, man has constantly tried to rebuild him a dream world. 133 00:08:35.570 --> 00:08:37.700 He wants to rebuild it without God. 134 00:08:37.790 --> 00:08:42.660 he doesn't want god as a part of it so in the fulfillment of daniel chapter 12 verse 135 00:08:42.670 --> 00:08:48.560 4 it says the time of the end many shall run to and fro as you probably realize 136 00:08:48.570 --> 00:08:52.780 maybe you've heard about it the greatest business on the face of the earth today is 137 00:08:52.790 --> 00:08:53.790 tourism 138 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:59.250 billions and billions and billions of dollars annually every year it changes 139 00:08:59.260 --> 00:09:04.850 are spent traveling i don't know whether it's even possible to calculate 140 00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:10.040 the amount of money that's that is spent and travel on the face of this earth. 141 00:09:10.050 --> 00:09:12.440 We just know that everybody's going somewhere. 142 00:09:12.490 --> 00:09:14.940 And those who are not going somewhere are just getting back. 143 00:09:17.370 --> 00:09:20.380 The same verse says, knowledge shall be increased. 144 00:09:22.090 --> 00:09:25.980 And this breakthrough in knowledge that man is using today to create his fantasy 145 00:09:25.990 --> 00:09:28.360 world, this world of the future, 146 00:09:28.430 --> 00:09:34.270 it's man's last attempt to try to make a paradise of 147 00:09:34.280 --> 00:09:37.450 plenty and leisure on this earth. 148 00:09:37.560 --> 00:09:40.690 You know, his deadline is the year of 2000. 149 00:09:42.500 --> 00:09:45.110 That's when the millennial kingdom starts, by the way. 150 00:09:45.910 --> 00:09:50.360 And man hopes to achieve his fantasy future with the magic of push -button machines, 151 00:09:50.630 --> 00:09:51.630 automation. 152 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.830 He already has automobiles equipped with push -buttons to shift the gears, 153 00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:59.410 to raise the windows, and to move the seat backward and forward and upward. 154 00:09:59.420 --> 00:10:03.610 And there's even a push -button to push and to grease the car. 155 00:10:03.620 --> 00:10:07.210 Most of us can't afford one of those. But they got them. 156 00:10:07.640 --> 00:10:11.450 Man is trying to bring Eden with its bliss. 157 00:10:12.260 --> 00:10:16.710 to the home with push buttons, but he doesn't want Jesus in the home. 158 00:10:17.780 --> 00:10:21.450 He wants the home of the future, heated by the rays of the sun. 159 00:10:21.680 --> 00:10:25.170 He may already have personally seen this in operation. 160 00:10:25.180 --> 00:10:29.090 I've seen it many times. And Israel has had it for 25 or 30 years. 161 00:10:29.100 --> 00:10:33.050 I'm surprised the world is moving at it so slow because they've been doing it for 25 162 00:10:33.060 --> 00:10:36.810 or 30 years that I've seen personally with my own eyes as every house in Israel puts 163 00:10:36.820 --> 00:10:38.530 one of their... 164 00:10:39.850 --> 00:10:43.560 pictures on the roof of their homes and heat the water in the kitchen and bass and 165 00:10:43.570 --> 00:10:44.570 so forth. 166 00:10:44.990 --> 00:10:48.120 The housewife wants to push a button and cook an entire meal. 167 00:10:48.130 --> 00:10:49.600 I guess they can order to do that. 168 00:10:50.130 --> 00:10:52.080 She wants to be out of the house shopping, 169 00:10:52.430 --> 00:10:56.500 playing some kind of game while she is cooking. 170 00:10:56.530 --> 00:11:01.940 The housewife of tomorrow wants to be able to cook her food by heat waves and do it 171 00:11:01.950 --> 00:11:04.840 in packages and to do it without a stove. 172 00:11:05.530 --> 00:11:07.120 She just wants to push a button. 173 00:11:07.270 --> 00:11:11.880 And we're even promised that we can take a bath by supersonic waves and won't even 174 00:11:11.890 --> 00:11:14.850 need a bathtub. I'm going to keep my bathtub. 175 00:11:17.550 --> 00:11:21.960 You can pick up your telephone today in some cities and you can talk a distance by 176 00:11:21.970 --> 00:11:26.150 dialing directly and also by looking at the person you're talking to. 177 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:28.130 This has already been tried. 178 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:33.710 It has already been used and it is possible to have on your telephone a screen. 179 00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:35.150 God help us. 180 00:11:35.890 --> 00:11:38.180 How some of us look when we're using a telephone. 181 00:11:39.630 --> 00:11:44.940 In man's fantasy future, he will travel thousands of miles per hour supersonic. 182 00:11:45.050 --> 00:11:48.060 You can do that today across the Atlantic Ocean. 183 00:11:48.380 --> 00:11:54.090 And he will be in supersonic aircraft costing $50 million or maybe 184 00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:56.190 more than $50 million each. 185 00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:59.030 He will fly from New York to London in an hour and a half. 186 00:11:59.100 --> 00:12:01.590 And he does it, what, three hours now? 187 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:04.730 Is that the supersonic trip across there by the Concordia? 188 00:12:04.740 --> 00:12:10.300 How long does it take? About three hours? And so they're moving into it. 189 00:12:10.310 --> 00:12:11.520 They're not dreaming about it. 190 00:12:11.650 --> 00:12:14.700 In our modern world, families would no longer use automobiles to go shopping in the 191 00:12:14.710 --> 00:12:16.940 local plaza, but from the roof of their homes, 192 00:12:16.950 --> 00:12:18.920 they'll use helicopters to go to the supermarket. 193 00:12:19.570 --> 00:12:21.820 The supermarkets will seat you on a moving belt, 194 00:12:21.830 --> 00:12:25.340 and you can ride past the merchandise and pick out what you want as you ride on the 195 00:12:25.350 --> 00:12:28.740 belt with an attendant helping you to get back into your helicopter. 196 00:12:29.470 --> 00:12:32.580 In education, the schools of the future will teach mostly by television, 197 00:12:32.590 --> 00:12:35.140 and many subjects will be projected right into the homes, 198 00:12:35.150 --> 00:12:36.620 and your students will stay home and learn. 199 00:12:38.210 --> 00:12:42.000 Man is trying to build himself an Alice in Wonderland future. 200 00:12:42.390 --> 00:12:45.480 God is about to speak as he did in Genesis chapter 11. 201 00:12:45.490 --> 00:12:49.240 The Lord God said, Behold, the people is one, and they have one language, 202 00:12:49.250 --> 00:12:51.180 and this they begin to do. 203 00:12:51.190 --> 00:12:55.980 Now nothing will be restrained from them which they have not imagined to do. 204 00:12:56.110 --> 00:13:00.000 Go to let us go down and confound their language that they may not understand one 205 00:13:00.010 --> 00:13:03.000 another's speech. That's the reason you have 2 ,000 languages today, 206 00:13:03.010 --> 00:13:06.660 to keep man from having this fantasy future that he wants. 207 00:13:07.020 --> 00:13:12.110 History will repeat itself again when man seeks to build his paradise without God. 208 00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:15.690 Man's greatest problem in this world of fantasy is himself, 209 00:13:16.690 --> 00:13:17.690 himself. 210 00:13:18.590 --> 00:13:24.420 Russia has landed on one of the outer space galaxies 211 00:13:24.430 --> 00:13:30.040 today and already sending colored pictures back from a way out in space 212 00:13:30.050 --> 00:13:34.260 and is so glad for what she's doing without God, she says. 213 00:13:35.290 --> 00:13:41.050 In the world of tomorrow, man will not know how to do or what to do with his time. 214 00:13:41.780 --> 00:13:43.450 His life will become boring. 215 00:13:43.460 --> 00:13:46.730 It will lead to universal violence, unparalleled crime, 216 00:13:46.740 --> 00:13:49.910 global moral breakdowns, millions of divorces, broken homes, 217 00:13:49.920 --> 00:13:51.630 and more and more insane asylums. 218 00:13:53.590 --> 00:13:58.240 Every outstanding medical authority in our world today fears man's fantasy future 219 00:13:58.250 --> 00:14:01.060 because of the multitudes of mental breakdowns. 220 00:14:01.070 --> 00:14:04.660 Rather than Edenic paradise, man will... 221 00:14:04.670 --> 00:14:10.360 will end producing a world of irresponsible degenerates just before Jesus comes. 222 00:14:10.860 --> 00:14:14.450 The nations will be full of immoral youth, disease in mind and body, 223 00:14:14.460 --> 00:14:17.990 who at the same time boasting of their engineering feats and traveling into outer 224 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.630 space and creating a push -button civilization. 225 00:14:20.970 --> 00:14:25.520 The curse of man from the beginning is his obsession to build a heaven on this earth 226 00:14:25.530 --> 00:14:28.800 without God interfering with him. That's his problem. 227 00:14:28.990 --> 00:14:32.680 That's his problem right now in our country and around the world. 228 00:14:32.690 --> 00:14:37.480 Beyond doubt, Every thinking person must realize that our world is in its final 229 00:14:37.490 --> 00:14:41.590 countdown. How many believe that? With all my heart I do. 230 00:14:41.740 --> 00:14:45.990 We're entering the final phase of this world crisis which will close out the 6 ,000 231 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:50.330 year period of man and his activities and his building of things on this earth. 232 00:14:50.660 --> 00:14:54.910 Only the intervening hand of God can prevent nations from committing international 233 00:14:54.920 --> 00:14:58.310 suicide and blowing up the whole world. God will not permit that. 234 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.570 So don't be worrying about it. God will again intervene. 235 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:07.110 And this time he will not send his son to Bethlehem or to Calvary as a lamb. 236 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:12.190 But Christ will come forth writing in magnificent splendor with a crown upon his 237 00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:16.470 head to rule the nations and he shall bring peace into our troubled world. 238 00:15:16.790 --> 00:15:20.060 You read that in Revelation 19, 11 to 16. 239 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:26.470 We're now in the final one quarter and less of the final century 240 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:28.510 of man's activity on this earth. 241 00:15:28.620 --> 00:15:34.470 What is to prophetically take place in just the next short time is most interesting 242 00:15:36.910 --> 00:15:42.900 because one -third of the whole Bible is prophecy predicted in the 243 00:15:42.910 --> 00:15:47.980 future. Many of those prophecies are being fulfilled now and will be fulfilled in 244 00:15:47.990 --> 00:15:49.920 the very immediate future. 245 00:15:50.150 --> 00:15:54.260 We observe their fulfillment by the hour, by the day, 246 00:15:54.270 --> 00:15:56.940 and by the years around us. 247 00:15:57.070 --> 00:16:01.020 You see, what are some of those signs that we should look for to know if we're 248 00:16:01.030 --> 00:16:06.680 living at that moment when the final battle will be taking 249 00:16:06.690 --> 00:16:07.690 place? 250 00:16:08.350 --> 00:16:12.020 I think we must look into the world we call the political world. 251 00:16:12.250 --> 00:16:17.620 There will be leaders in politics making decisions which involve nations 252 00:16:17.630 --> 00:16:23.600 and individuals. Now, Daniel, who saw this end time in Daniel 2 and 253 00:16:23.610 --> 00:16:27.320 40, he says, And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron. 254 00:16:27.590 --> 00:16:31.540 That's today's kingdom. For as much as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all 255 00:16:31.550 --> 00:16:33.980 things, and as iron that breaketh all these, 256 00:16:33.990 --> 00:16:36.760 shall it be broken in pieces and bruise. 257 00:16:38.380 --> 00:16:39.380 Dictatorship. 258 00:16:39.790 --> 00:16:42.900 As you know, they're setting them up almost every day in little countries, 259 00:16:42.910 --> 00:16:46.060 all through Africa, Latin America. They're setting up iron. 260 00:16:46.630 --> 00:16:48.500 They're setting up ironclad. 261 00:16:48.750 --> 00:16:53.620 Poland just taught the world a lesson in how you can handle dissidents in a nation. 262 00:16:54.010 --> 00:16:56.560 We're living in a moment of the strength of iron. 263 00:16:56.810 --> 00:16:59.560 And Russia is leading the way, so is China. 264 00:16:59.930 --> 00:17:05.320 And Daniel 2 and 41, one verse further than the verse we just read, 265 00:17:05.330 --> 00:17:09.160 Whereas thou sawest the feet and the toes part of potter's clay and part of iron, 266 00:17:09.170 --> 00:17:13.340 the kingdom shall be divided, but there shall be in it the strength of the iron, 267 00:17:13.350 --> 00:17:16.740 forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with the clay. 268 00:17:16.810 --> 00:17:21.480 Now in God's prophetic future, it illustrates that the iron man will prevail. 269 00:17:21.730 --> 00:17:25.620 He says that he breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things. 270 00:17:25.910 --> 00:17:29.760 So dictatorship will prevail, and we're living at that moment right now. 271 00:17:30.030 --> 00:17:35.640 Fierce world leaders are emerging and will emerge on the political stage. 272 00:17:35.730 --> 00:17:40.840 And finally, the Antichrist will stand on the middle stage of the whole world, 273 00:17:40.850 --> 00:17:45.200 and he will be the strongest military man of all of history with the most fierce 274 00:17:45.210 --> 00:17:50.700 facial expressions and convincing tongue that the world has ever heard in its 275 00:17:50.710 --> 00:17:54.940 history. The common man will be ground to powder by the fierceness of the political 276 00:17:54.950 --> 00:17:59.260 leaders that will dominate the world that we live in today in the weeks, 277 00:17:59.270 --> 00:18:01.600 the months, and the years ahead of us. 278 00:18:02.430 --> 00:18:06.200 Nations will be iron nations. Russia is one of these. 279 00:18:06.210 --> 00:18:07.500 She will suppress others. 280 00:18:07.510 --> 00:18:10.880 She will depress her own people until God's Word is fulfilled. 281 00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:15.980 And Ezekiel 37, 38, and 39 says that there will be an... 282 00:18:15.990 --> 00:18:20.900 A time when she will come against the children of Israel or the people of Israel. 283 00:18:20.910 --> 00:18:25.450 And in the battlefields of Megiddo is where the final 284 00:18:25.460 --> 00:18:28.330 reckoning will take place. 285 00:18:28.340 --> 00:18:31.510 So the Iron Man will successfully mold the United Nations, 286 00:18:31.580 --> 00:18:35.110 our United States of Europe, which is already in formation, 287 00:18:35.120 --> 00:18:38.550 with strong antagonistic boastings that it don't need God, 288 00:18:38.560 --> 00:18:40.330 that it will run its own self. 289 00:18:40.340 --> 00:18:44.600 It will be the resurrection of the ancient Roman Empire raised up to finally... 290 00:18:44.610 --> 00:18:48.900 fulfill its destiny in a last day anger against the true and the living God. 291 00:18:48.950 --> 00:18:49.950 That's what we're going to see. 292 00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:53.490 Now, in the midst of this austere iron man's world, 293 00:18:53.500 --> 00:18:55.470 there will be existing the clay man 294 00:18:56.050 --> 00:19:00.120 whose whole chief aim in life will be push buttons, 295 00:19:01.010 --> 00:19:02.010 idleness, 296 00:19:02.500 --> 00:19:05.420 luxury, immoralities. 297 00:19:06.260 --> 00:19:09.210 While one part of the world prepares for death and destruction, 298 00:19:09.220 --> 00:19:10.910 the other part will be playing. 299 00:19:13.550 --> 00:19:17.080 And they'll be saying, peace at any choice, peace at any price. 300 00:19:17.090 --> 00:19:21.760 We want peace. The clayman's world is very much in evidence right now. 301 00:19:21.870 --> 00:19:24.880 Much of our world at this moment is led by the weak. 302 00:19:25.390 --> 00:19:31.080 This is true in the United Nations, where the overwhelming voting power is among the 303 00:19:31.090 --> 00:19:35.340 Afro -Asian nations who are the emerging nations and who do not possess able 304 00:19:35.350 --> 00:19:40.540 governments. And yet those people with unstable governments and bankruptcy 305 00:19:40.550 --> 00:19:45.300 can stand right up on their count as strong as the United States or Great Britain or 306 00:19:45.310 --> 00:19:47.800 any of the great nations of the world that have to feed them. 307 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:51.270 And so they're ruled in, that's the clay world that we're talking about. 308 00:19:51.280 --> 00:19:53.350 This is also seen in the financial world, 309 00:19:53.360 --> 00:19:57.170 where credit is king and hard cash is seldom ever seen. 310 00:19:57.650 --> 00:20:00.840 This could also be observed in the labor world, 311 00:20:00.850 --> 00:20:04.160 where men do not understand what makes a business successful. 312 00:20:04.170 --> 00:20:06.640 He dominates the policies of big business. 313 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:11.330 This is further seen in the educational world in the great student uprisings with 314 00:20:11.340 --> 00:20:13.490 undisciplined youth marching through the streets, 315 00:20:13.500 --> 00:20:16.750 challenging their own government, and when in most cases they do not know the true 316 00:20:16.760 --> 00:20:20.180 issues at stake. They just know there's something they want right now, 317 00:20:20.190 --> 00:20:21.500 and they're not getting it right now, and they'll say, 318 00:20:21.510 --> 00:20:23.180 we'll burn everything down until we get it. 319 00:20:23.630 --> 00:20:25.180 This is the world of mud, 320 00:20:25.260 --> 00:20:30.630 where the man 2 ,000 years plus 9 ,000, 321 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:33.830 almost 3 ,000 years ago, he told us it would happen right now, 322 00:20:33.840 --> 00:20:37.490 and God is revealing this thing to come to pass in these days. 323 00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:41.010 These are some of the signposts that we're going to have to look at, 324 00:20:41.020 --> 00:20:45.110 and let me give you a few of them very sharply. 325 00:20:45.260 --> 00:20:47.290 There will be cosmic convulsions. 326 00:20:48.040 --> 00:20:51.290 If you were to take a whole study on this, 327 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:56.090 you would see that there has been more problem in the cosmos in the last 25 years 328 00:20:56.100 --> 00:20:59.370 than maybe in the last 500 years all put together. 329 00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:02.430 And with earthquakes and things like that, 330 00:21:02.460 --> 00:21:06.090 they've had more in the last 25 or 30 years than they have in the last 2 ,000 years. 331 00:21:06.380 --> 00:21:10.990 And everywhere you look, there are either floods of water or no water at all. 332 00:21:11.140 --> 00:21:15.350 So while one gets too much water, another area doesn't get a drop for a whole year, 333 00:21:15.360 --> 00:21:17.430 sometimes two and three and four and five years. 334 00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:22.470 And so in the whole cosmic world, there's convulsions that God said would take 335 00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:24.850 place. And that results, of course, in famine. 336 00:21:25.060 --> 00:21:29.870 And I want to assure you that just one harvest in this country, 337 00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:35.010 if it was lost, a great part of the world would starve to death with a breadbasket 338 00:21:35.020 --> 00:21:38.330 of the world. And with just one poor harvest, don't need three. 339 00:21:39.180 --> 00:21:42.030 We have no reserves to feed a hungry world today. 340 00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:46.150 Really, we've got a world that needs God, and they don't know it yet, 341 00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:47.590 and they don't know it yet. 342 00:21:48.220 --> 00:21:50.690 Children shall rise up against their parents. 343 00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:54.330 We're living in that moment today, and we always tell young people, 344 00:21:54.340 --> 00:21:56.610 you don't have to be part of the signs of the times. 345 00:21:56.620 --> 00:21:59.790 You don't have to be part of the problem of our world that we live in today. 346 00:21:59.840 --> 00:22:02.850 In our domestic world, prophetic wheels are grinding. 347 00:22:03.180 --> 00:22:06.790 Jesus predicted that brother should betray brother and father the son. 348 00:22:06.800 --> 00:22:09.910 Children should rise up against their parents and should cause them to be put to 349 00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:15.190 death. We have some strange situations in our courts in this land today that we live 350 00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:16.830 in. In other countries, it's the same. 351 00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:21.290 When a generation does not love its own parents, that generation is doomed. 352 00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:25.890 Paul said in 2 Timothy 3 and 1, This know also that in the last days perilous times 353 00:22:25.900 --> 00:22:28.990 should come. Men should be lovers of themselves, covetous boasters, 354 00:22:29.860 --> 00:22:32.430 proud, blasphemous, disobedient to parents. 355 00:22:32.980 --> 00:22:35.730 disobedient to parents. So we're living prophetically. 356 00:22:35.740 --> 00:22:38.770 We're living gloriously prophetically right today. 357 00:22:38.780 --> 00:22:43.030 We live in a world today where parents cannot control their children and there's not 358 00:22:43.040 --> 00:22:44.290 much they can do about it. 359 00:22:45.600 --> 00:22:50.330 Also in the financial world, though the world is in such domestic trouble, 360 00:22:50.380 --> 00:22:54.650 the giant commercial combines become stronger and stronger. 361 00:22:55.100 --> 00:23:00.750 And we're going to show you how in James chapter 5 it's coming true right now what 362 00:23:00.760 --> 00:23:01.760 the Bible says. 363 00:23:02.420 --> 00:23:08.330 There are now 69 billionaire companies on the New 364 00:23:08.340 --> 00:23:12.470 York Exchange. 69. That have passed millions, there are billionaire companies. 365 00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:17.880 And this has risen from 25 companies in the last 15 years. 366 00:23:17.990 --> 00:23:23.420 Now, the Bible says, this hour where they have heaped up treasure, in James 5, 367 00:23:23.430 --> 00:23:28.880 read it from 1 through 7. He cries, the rich man shall weep and howl. 368 00:23:28.890 --> 00:23:31.380 Have you heard any weeping and howling in the papers the last few days? 369 00:23:31.580 --> 00:23:36.120 Yeah, weeping and howling. Going broke, losing billions, losing millions. 370 00:23:36.130 --> 00:23:37.660 You see, weeping and howling. 371 00:23:37.990 --> 00:23:43.300 There's never been a time in history of the world when such enmity is between the 372 00:23:43.310 --> 00:23:46.460 haves and the have -nots. And you're going to hear more weeping. 373 00:23:46.470 --> 00:23:48.540 And he said it would happen in the last days. 374 00:23:48.550 --> 00:23:51.100 He said they've heaped up these things for the last days. 375 00:23:51.790 --> 00:23:54.860 In the religious world, there's several important things. 376 00:23:55.090 --> 00:23:59.520 We've seen the return of Israel to its own land, getting ready for her Messiah. 377 00:23:59.730 --> 00:24:05.340 Jesus prophesied in Matthew 24, 32, that when you see the fig tree blossom forth, 378 00:24:05.590 --> 00:24:10.680 you know that summer is nigh, and Israel is always the fig tree. 379 00:24:10.690 --> 00:24:13.400 It is now in full bloom, as we all know. 380 00:24:13.890 --> 00:24:17.340 Among church members, Jesus Christ predicted in Matthew 24 and 12, 381 00:24:17.770 --> 00:24:19.680 the love of many shall wax cold. 382 00:24:20.570 --> 00:24:24.700 I don't know what church you go to, but just look around you and see what it means 383 00:24:24.710 --> 00:24:27.120 here. The love of many shall wax cold. 384 00:24:27.840 --> 00:24:30.590 They've lost that love. They've lost that burning thing within them. 385 00:24:30.600 --> 00:24:33.110 They've lost that desire to win the world of Jesus. 386 00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:37.410 The love of many shall. It's a sign that Jesus is coming soon. 387 00:24:37.760 --> 00:24:40.630 And this means that those that used to sing with great fervor, 388 00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:41.970 they used to pray with great victory, 389 00:24:41.980 --> 00:24:47.000 and they've joined the push -button age and the fantasy future of materialism, 390 00:24:47.010 --> 00:24:49.500 that everything's going to be all right if I have a right job. 391 00:24:49.690 --> 00:24:52.160 Paul further stated in 2 Thessalonians 2, 392 00:24:52.170 --> 00:24:55.480 he said that there will be a falling away first. 393 00:24:56.110 --> 00:24:58.180 And we're living in that moment right now. 394 00:24:58.310 --> 00:25:02.840 This resembles a military line where the enemy pours his shots into the line and 395 00:25:02.850 --> 00:25:05.340 many fall and only a few stand. 396 00:25:06.070 --> 00:25:10.180 The devil is fighting to cause many to fall away at this present time. 397 00:25:10.310 --> 00:25:14.540 Jesus further gave a religious sign of the end in Matthew 24 and 5. 398 00:25:14.550 --> 00:25:19.300 He said, there will be false Christ who will come and they will deceive many. 399 00:25:19.610 --> 00:25:25.610 There will be miracle workers and false dreamers. 400 00:25:25.800 --> 00:25:30.290 who will provoke the people to join a world church and they will finally join with 401 00:25:30.300 --> 00:25:34.150 the antichrist against christ because people perform miracles there's no sign 402 00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:39.110 they're holy you have to look into their lives and see if they're good people we 403 00:25:39.120 --> 00:25:42.790 don't expect we don't accept miracles as a sign that you belong to jesus we have to 404 00:25:42.800 --> 00:25:47.410 know if you still got just one wife and if you paid your debts and if you don't tell 405 00:25:47.420 --> 00:25:51.850 lies we have to know quite a few things about you we live in a world today where it 406 00:25:51.860 --> 00:25:55.440 says in there will be peace taken from the earth That's what the Lord Jesus Christ 407 00:25:55.450 --> 00:26:00.100 said. And so we want all of us to say, Lord, we're ready for that coming. 408 00:26:00.310 --> 00:26:06.250 And Joel said, concerning these days, I'll pour out my spirit upon all flesh. 409 00:26:06.260 --> 00:26:10.210 So there will be two things operating at the same time in the last days. 410 00:26:10.340 --> 00:26:12.370 There will be a glorious revival. 411 00:26:12.380 --> 00:26:17.090 I believe the greatest revival that mankind has ever known is upon us right now. 412 00:26:19.460 --> 00:26:23.250 I've already preached and I will be preaching again in the largest church in the 413 00:26:23.260 --> 00:26:27.490 world that actually has 200 ,000 members in one church. 414 00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:31.130 Most of our concept, we can't even grasp it. 415 00:26:31.140 --> 00:26:32.730 We can't even get a hold of it, you know. 416 00:26:33.380 --> 00:26:36.150 And God is doing things in the world today. 417 00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:38.190 Now, he may have to go to Africa to do it. 418 00:26:39.310 --> 00:26:42.140 And if he does, I'll be absent quite a bit from here. 419 00:26:42.850 --> 00:26:44.080 I'll be in Africa. 420 00:26:44.970 --> 00:26:46.560 And I'll be absent in the Orient. 421 00:26:46.570 --> 00:26:50.620 I want to be where God is doing mighty things on the face of this earth. 422 00:26:50.950 --> 00:26:53.780 I'm not going to join the fantasy bunch. 423 00:26:53.830 --> 00:26:57.580 I'm not going to try to create a heaven down here where there's so much sorrow, 424 00:26:57.590 --> 00:27:01.980 so much hurt, so many divorces, so many things that hurt. 425 00:27:01.990 --> 00:27:07.200 I don't want that. I want to begin with Jesus as King of kings and Lord of lords. 426 00:27:07.210 --> 00:27:11.700 I want to begin with revival where millions will be saved. 427 00:27:11.710 --> 00:27:14.000 And I believe that we're living at that dramatic. 428 00:27:14.010 --> 00:27:16.120 These are apocalyptic times. 429 00:27:16.390 --> 00:27:20.610 Not only will we cast out spirits, not only will we heal the sick, 430 00:27:20.620 --> 00:27:24.730 We're going to see the greatest engathering of immortal souls the world has ever 431 00:27:24.740 --> 00:27:26.990 known. And I want to help bring them in.
