She interviewed doctor Emmett Brown, and the guy needs a haircut. Hair. Yeah. And what else? Body AI and stuff. A lot of fun. A lot of good stuff. How many of you have ever attended a church or bible study that where you've been taught concerning the nation of Israel? Anybody? Senator question. I've I've been a Christian since 1980, and my pastor from the very beginning took us through the Bible and with a very strong emphasis upon understanding and understanding that Israel being in the land on 05/14/1948, that that was a fulfillment of bible prophecy, Ezekiel chapter thirty six and thirty seven, in addition to many other prophecies also where God told ahead of time that that he would regather the nation of Israel. This is unprecedented in history where a nation, a people would be expelled from their country and maintain their national identity. Typically, you lose your national identity with four generations. So part of the strategy of war of overcoming a people is to infiltrate the people. So the Assyrians and the Babylonians would take Jews out of Israel, bring them over to Babylon, and take Assyrians and Babylonians and bring them into, you know, Israel. Four generations later, there's so much intermarriage and stuff taking place like in Europe today. The Muslims coming in and and in these European nationalistic countries, Ireland, Scotland, Switzerland, it's only gonna take a few generations and the ethnicity of those countries is gonna be eradicated with intermarriage and and overwhelmed by these Muslim nations. Nation of Israel, it's it was overrun by all sorts of Arabs and and peoples and all. Some Jews remain, but the Jews wound up in in Russia. They wound up in South Africa, just all over the world, New York City. And and then the Jews began to face, you know, persecution once again toward the end of the eighteen hundreds and antisemitism and which culminated with the holocaust of of World War two. And so there was a move, a desire for the Jews to go back to their homeland. They didn't know the Hebrew language. They didn't have anything. There's not no infrastructure. Nothing nothing there awaiting them, but they just they just wanted to go back where they were originally from. And and so God prophesied that in chapter thirty six and thirty seven here and he gives Ezekiel a vision of a valley of dry bones, dead bones, and the bones depict the nation. They're just dry dead bones. There's no sinew on them. There's no muscle. There's there's nothing there. And not Elon Musk, not anybody can take and cause that that nation to come back to life. You know, there's nobody that can do that except the Lord. And so a miraculous, not only regathering of them, but and they're regathered in unbelief at this point in time. But in the Belfour declaration, the British had control of the area along with the Turks, and they allowed the Arabs to also converge, and they basically allowed a war to take place, and whoever would win the war would be able to take control of, you know, of Israel. And in a miraculous way, the Jews won out over a huge multitude of people, far greater number of people, and they they were able to win that initial battle and and and, you know, grabbed hold. But they still didn't have Jerusalem. Jerusalem was to come later, and the Jordanians had control of Jerusalem, and there was already the Dome Of The Rock Mosque there. And then later with the had a sixty three sixty seven war and the seventy three war. And in seventy three war, they they were able to take Jerusalem. And then one of the Israelis took a flag and lifted up an Israeli flag, and Moshe Dayan, the general was looking through his field glasses and saw that that flag go up and then radioed them to take it down because they didn't want to incite the Muslims around the world to that degree. And so they they they took it down and many years of Jerusalem being divided, Jerusalem being, you know, annexed so to speak. And so we would say today that the Jews have control of Jerusalem, but still they have to be very careful with the Dome Of The Rock Mosque and other Muslim, you know, Arab groups that are there, Islamic groups that are there. And so now commentaries, guys who studied the Bible prior to 1948, many of them didn't didn't see or didn't teach, the Bible scholars didn't teach that Israel would one day be restored in the land. Many of them, along with Martin Luther and others, they adopted what's called replacement theology where they said that the church replaced Israel. So that's my point is that we as a church, as we're studying, when we come to chapter thirty six and thirty seven here, if we're gonna read this literally and not allegorize it, not spiritualize it, and we wanna ask the question, who, what, when, where, why, how, you know, what does this mean, then we have to let the text tell us what it means. And God's saying, I'm gonna regather you. And I'm gonna regather you. I'm gonna breathe life into you. And I'm gonna not only regather and breathe life into you, but I'm gonna convert you to where you actually believe in me. And then ultimately, I'm gonna send my son to be a king over you and David as a prince, and you're going to be in the land, you know, and enter into all the promises that I've made to you and your fathers. You're eventually gonna enter in to all those promises. So we take the Bible literally and lot of the churches today are still anti semitic. There's still replacement theology. They don't see Israel has as having a right to the land and they would love to expel them and United Nations them out of there and divide a two as two state solution and things like that. And it's gonna get worse during the tribulation period where the whole world turns against according to Zechariah 12, turns against the nation of Israel including America and the antichrist and the global governments of the world want to just wipe them out. Know, the solution that Hitler had was just, you know, genocide them, just get rid of all of them And a one third remnant's preserved in in Southern Jordan or Petra today. And Jesus, except those days be shortened according to Matthew 24, except those days be shortened, no flesh will be saved. But for the elect's sake, for the nation of Israel, Jesus is going to intervene during the tribulation period and preserve that one third remnant that's fled Jerusalem. They're gonna flee and the Antichrist armies are gonna come after them and they're gonna finally have a uh-oh moment, their Jesus moment, and they're gonna say blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. And when they do that, they're gonna confess that they crucified their Messiah. According to Daniel nine twenty five through 27, you know, he would be cut off in his first coming, rejected by the nation. And then Jesus wept over the city and he could see that the temple in seventy AD that Titus would surround it, general Titus, and he said not one stone would remain upon another. And so that was another occasion, not just the occasion of the Babylonians destroying the temple. The second temple period is Zerubbabel's temple with Herod the great also helping and, you know, Nehemiah and Ezra the priest and that was a that was a rebuilding of Solomon's Temple and then it continued to the time of Jesus where Herod the Great was a great builder and he expanded and built it further. That's what's known as the second temple period and in seventy AD, it was destroyed, not one stone upon another, then the nation was dispersed. All over the world, people fled and and so we're looking at presently talk of the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem and this would be the Antichrist Temple, the one where Daniel said the abomination of desolation spoken by Daniel the prophet when the Antichrist in place of Jesus Christ goes in that temple, declares himself to be God and demands to be worshiped as God. And and that temple is gonna be short lived because the the tribulation period is only a seven year period of time. And then after that, we're gonna be studying in the future in a in a couple weeks from chapter 40 to 48 to what's known as Ezekiel's temple. And so the temple is gonna be rebuilt during the thousand year rule and reign of Jesus and he's gonna rule and reign as king of kings and lord of lords over the entire globe. He's the savior of the whole world and then there's two branches of government. There's going to be a branch of government of the Jews and the Jews are gonna be dominant over the Gentiles or presently the Gentiles are dominant over the Jews today and that's called the times of the Gentiles. That times of the Gentiles is coming to an end real soon here and Jesus is gonna be the king of the Gentiles, king of the Jews, the whole thing. And the one branch of the government's gonna come over here with David as a prince, sometimes he's called a king, and then with the 12 apostles and they're going to rule and reign over the nation of Israel that's in the land. Then the other side, the other the other side of the graph is the Gentiles who repopulate the planet during the now these are the natural born Gentiles. You and I as the church could be Jew, Gentile, male, female, barbarians, if you bond or free, whosoever will. So during the church age, you and I are gonna rule and reign with Jesus as kings and priests and we're gonna rule with the tribulation saints. We're gonna rule with them over the Gentiles that are repopulating the planet for a thousand years. The devil is in the abyss. He's being held incarcerated for a thousand years. The planet is returned to an identic condition, no longer the animals as carnivores and eating people and eating each other and all. And Jesus is gonna rule and reign with a rod of righteousness, but there still is going to be sin and there still is going to be death in that the Gentiles have till they're a 100 years old to receive Christ or not. And Isaiah 65 talks about how then they would die if they didn't. So at the end of the millennium, the devil is loosed from the abyss and he's able to tempt the Gentile nations who've had a perfect environment, a perfect world, no sin, no Adam falling, none of that. You know what mean? There is sin but what I'm saying is they still have a sinful nature but the the general complexion of the planet is one where Jesus is enforcing righteousness by the rule of law and and so and the people, many of the people they side with the devil once again, an illustration of their free will to try and destroy Jesus and destroy, you know, the Jews and all. And the Lord consumes them with fire and then the planet is destroyed with fire, the entire planet. And then we have Revelation chapter twenty one and twenty two, a new heaven, a new earth, and it's the eternal state and the streets are gold and the whole thing. And then we're gonna continue to enjoy the kindness of God on into eternity. Alright. So that's an overview and that's how we think as pre millennial dispensationalists. So we believe the millennium hasn't happened yet. We believe that we are in what's called the church age. The church age began, some would say at Pentecost. We'll see in John where Jesus breathed on his disciples and said, receive you the Holy Spirit. And so the receiving of the Holy Spirit, the disciples were born again and then Jesus told them in acts one to wait. He was on the planet for forty days in his resurrected body and then he ascended up and they all saw saw him ascend from the Mount Of Olives to the right hand of the father and then he told them to tarry to wait for the promise of his father and then ten days later, penta is 50 on Pentecost. On the fiftieth day, the Holy Spirit, the comforter that Jesus prophesied and promised in John 14 through 16 came and fell upon the church there. And so from Pentecost from that day to the present day, we're in what's called the church age. When does the church age end? Which is Romans eleven twenty five. Right? Blindness in part has happened unto Israel. So you have two distinct groups. You have the church, which is Jew and Gentile, but you have Israel, which is just Jew. So blindness in part has happened unto Israel, and the true Israel of God are those who believe in Jesus. But presently, Israel has been regathered in unbelief. They don't believe in Jesus. But they're regathered and they're awaiting their conversion. They don't even they aren't even looking for Jesus. They're looking for a Messiah who's gonna overthrow all the other governments just like they were when Jesus came the first time and they're gonna be tricked, aren't they? They're gonna they're gonna give in to the antichrist in place of Jesus Christ. So their eyes are gonna be open when he goes into the temple and declares himself to be God and demands to be worshiped as God. And so two thirds of the Jews are going to die during the tribulation period and there's a one third remnant that's gonna be purified going through the fire, the time of Jacob's trouble. And so Israel, a distinctly different entity than that of the church. And so the church is the ecclesia, those that have been called out from the world and so the church at Pentecost was entirely Jewish, and the 120 that were awaiting the coming of the Lord with the disciples and all, and and then they as they preach the gospel, 5,000 get saved, another 3,000 get saved and a great revival breaks out. And then we see Philip as far as with the Samaritans in chapter eight and he's preaching the gospel to the Samaritans who were half breeds and they start to come to Christ. And then in chapter nine of the book of acts, we see Paul heading all the way over to Damascus. So the church is spreading to the Gentile Gentiles in these other nations and places And and it took persecution to spread the church out because they were very content to stay at the revival that was taking place in Jerusalem. And and then the persecution came upon the person named Stephen. And once that happened, it kinda once they tasted blood, they began to come against the church in in a even greater way. In chapter 12, Herod Antipas killed James, the brother of John and he saw that it pleased the Jews and he grabbed hold of Peter to execute Peter thereafter, but Peter got a jailbreak and he was able to go in chapter 10, earlier in chapter 10 to the house of Cornelius and then after that in chapter 13, we see Barnabas and Saul Saul of Tarsus, whom they were praying in at Antioch in Antioch and the Holy Spirit said, separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work I've called them and you see a missionary journey that they took, spread the gospel and head into gent gentile nations and countries and places, cities and all. And and so the book of acts continues to this very day. We have the great commission to go and make disciples and and even though we know that we're in the church age, the priority is to the Jew. If the casting off of the Jews brought reconciliation to the Gentiles, how much more the regathering of the nation of Israel will bring life from the dead. It's gonna be a phenomenal thing when the Jews come to a saving faith in Jesus. Alright. Chapter 37 verse one. We talk about the rapture in first Thessalonians four sixteen through 18. The rapture, the catching away, being caught up, harpazo in the Greek. And here we see Ezekiel's rapture. We're gonna look at a couple other ones. So the hand of the Lord was upon me and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord. So we've got a space station up in the space. Right? And we've got to use rockets to get them up there and rockets to get them back, right? Well, Ezekiel, there's several different times here in chapter three verse 14, chapter eight verse three, chapter 11 verse one, chapter eleven twenty four and forty three verse five where he's caught up in the spirit and he's caught up in a whole dimension, a different dimension that we don't see is open to him and he's able to see the future. He's able to see things that we can't see and so Paul said he knew a man whether in the body or not in the body caught up to the third heaven. So the first heaven is where the birds fly, the second heaven is where the space station is. Right? Do you guys really believe they went there and got those too? There's no way someone with a chin that big could be out in space. There's just no way. It's alien. I'm just kidding. Alright. So, it'll give me trouble again. But anyway, this is for real. He's we have no way of knowing you guys. We have no way of knowing. Alright. So, the hand of the Lord was upon me and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones. Okay. So these bones are symbolic of nation of Israel that's basically dead. It's a dead nation. God's gonna bring them back to life. Now, this this work of the spirit is so fascinating. If you look at acts chapter eight, we see Philip verse 39 and where he came up out of the water, so he's baptizing the Ethiopian eunuch and baptizing him. When he came up out of the water, the spirit of the Lord caught away Philip that the eunuch saw him no more and he went on his way rejoicing. So there's a rapture right there and it is the Greek word harpazo. He's caught up in the spirit, in the spiritual realm. There's angels in this room right now, in the spiritual realm. We we don't see them. We don't see them. Do you think there's some demons here too? So get thee behind me, Satan, right? Alright. And good luck with that, right? So we have the Lord here. And then, but Philip was found at Azotis. So he's found 19 miles away from Gaza to Azotis, go down to Gaza which is desert and he had to obey the Lord and it was a progressive revelation of God's will and because he obeyed step one, leaving the revival and going down to a desert place like Bremerton, the Lord and who would wanna do that? Who would wanna leave the revival? But Philip obeyed the Lord and when he went there, he met the Ethiopian eunuch who was up and he'd been to the festival, he'd been to the Passover and he didn't meet Jesus. But he's up there with a scroll and he's reading Isaiah 53. Right? And he's you understand what you're reading? How can I listen? What are you helping? And all of, you know, a divine appointment. So now he gets to lead the Ethiopian eunuch Christ. The Ethiopian eunuch is gonna go back to Ethiopia, right, Northern Africa and he's gonna share the gospel in Africa, right? So Philip got to be a part of it. Now Philip was just a deacon, just a deacon obeying the Lord with Stephen and and he had four daughters who were evangelists, right? Alright, four virgin daughters who were evangelists, isn't that great? They were prophetesses, prophetesses and they'd speak forth the word of God, isn't that exciting? And so, Philip was caught away, raptured and Philip was found at his odeous passing through. He preached in all the cities till he came to Caesarea which is 60 miles away. And so, there's an example of the rapture there. And then turn to Revelation chapter one. We call John the John the Revelator. Right? And the book of Revelation is the revelation of Jesus, the unveiling of Jesus Christ or the apocalypse of Jesus. Right? And so it's a campaign. The second coming of Christ is a campaign of events culminating with his coming to Basra to inner to intervene to save the nation of Israel and then smoking all of his enemies there in the Valley Of Armageddon and then making his victory ascent up the Mount Of Olives into the city of Jerusalem, his triumphal entry and as he's gonna take control of the earth once again. Notice verse 10, And I was in the spirit. Oh, there's a key for in the spirit. The son of man Ezekiel was in the spirit. Are you in the spirit? Does God give you visions and dreams? Can you see things in the spiritual realm? I was in the spirit on the Lord's day. What's the Lord's day? Sunday. Sunday. Right, Betty? Sunday. Wow. On the Lord's day. The early church met the first day of the week on the Lord's day. Some people get caught up on that. One man esteems one day above another, another man every day alike. Right? We're here on Monday night. If you can't make it on Sunday, we're here on Monday. Right? But just just to gather with the saints, you know, when you can. So, I was in the spirit on the Lord's Day and heard behind me a great voice of a trumpet saying, I am the alpha, the omega. So, he gets to see Jesus. The first and the last and what thou sees, write in a book and send there to the seven churches which are in Asia, unto Ephesus, unto Smyrna, unto Pergamum, unto Thyatira, unto Sardis, unto Philadelphia and unto Laodicea. So John, the son of man Ezekiel, he's gonna see things and then he's gonna write them as a prophet. And then turn to chapter four verse one, the book of Revelation. He says, after this, I looked and behold a door was opened in heaven. And the first voice, so after this, after these things, and we saw the or we know of the outline this in chapter one verse 19, Write the things which you have seen in chapter one. Write the things which are in chapter two and three, which is the church age, which continues right now. And then write the things which shall be after these things. After what? After the church age. After the rapture. What's gonna happen? The church is up in heaven in chapter four and five after after these things, after the rapture. And and John can see in the spiritual realm, the tribulation period and culminating climaxing with the return of Jesus in chapter 19, and then chapter 20, the great white throne judgment, the wicked dead resurrected judge, the millennium in chapter 20, and then chapter twenty one and twenty two, the eternal state. So there's an outline for you. But he says, and I looked and behold a door was opened in heaven and the first voice that I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me which said, come up here and I will show thee things which must be hereafter, the future. Meditate, after these things, after the church age. And immediately I was in the spirit and behold a throne was set in heaven and one sat upon the throne. So now he gets to be in heaven and see the four and twenty elders and see Jesus there in chapter five to take the scroll, loose the seals and and he saw him as a lamb that had been slain and and then he goes on to describe the events of the tribulation period, the seals and the trumpet and bowl judgments and the antichrist and the beast, the false prophet, the devil, the dragon, and just a huge wonderful wonderful amazing story that, you know, you could write it, make a good movie out of that, you could use that theme. So now we're back to chapter 37. So John, we talk about the transmission. How did how did this information come to John? How was it transmitted? It was transmitted by the spirit. By the spirit, right? You have radio transmission, you got spiritual transmission and John's using his human faculties to absorb and to learn and to hear in his eyes. Jesus said, he that has an ear to hear, let him hear what the spirit is saying to the churches, You can be blind as a bat and still have spiritual eyes and see things in the spirit. You can see physically but not see spiritually, right? You don't have spiritual eyes. We walk by faith not by sight, not by natural sight, we walk by faith and so, valley which is full of bones. Verse two, and caused me to pass by them round about and behold, there were very many in the open valley and lo, they were very dry, valley of dry bones. And he said unto me, son of man, can these bones live? Can these bones live? He said, and I answered, oh Lord God, thou knowest. God, you can do anything. When Abraham and Sarah were told this time next year, Sarah's gonna conceive and have a son, you know, there's kinda she's kinda laughing about it. Right? People are laughing. And Jeremiah reminds us, is anything too hard for God? Is there anything God can't do? And so, you need to believe, if you believe, only believe. Again, he said unto me, prophecy upon these bones and saying to them, oh, dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. And there's the key, hear the word of the Lord. Jeremiah 3two 17, Jeremiah 3two 27, is anything too hard for God? If he had faith as a mustard seed, Jesus said in Matthew seventeen twenty, you save this mountain be thou removed and cast into the sea, nothing be impossible for you, right? And Matthew twenty one twenty one and twenty two, same sort of thing that the emphasis upon believing. If you're filled with unbelief, then you quench, you grieve, you limit the work of the Holy Spirit. You remember the 10 spies who had an unbelieving report, they limited, they grieved God's heart because they wouldn't believe and there were times where Jesus would groan because the people wouldn't his own disciples had a very hard time believing, having faith and and so I just love how Peter stepped out on the water. Right? And some people will look at the negative, well, he sank. Well, did you get out of the boat? You know, at least he walked on water for a little while. Right? Hear the word of the Lord. Step out of the boat. Step out of your comfort zone, walk by faith, attempt something so great that it's bound to fail unless God's in it. Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones, behold I will cause breath to enter into you and you shall live. And so the word breath, ruach in Hebrew is the same word for wind and for spirit. In the Greek, we have a word for wind called pneuma and mechanics have tools that are called pneumatic. They're air driven tools, right? And so, we see a mighty rushing wind in acts chapter two when the holy spirit came upon, you know, the the church that was there waiting for the holy spirit. And so, he's gonna breathe, he's gonna breathe life into these bones and so we're looking at this like how could he possibly breathe a nation, you know. How could he form a nation from these bones? Well, what did he form Adam from? Dirt. Dirt. Right? And and then he breathed, right? He breathed Genesis two seven and Adam became a living soul as the Lord breathed, you know, in him. And then how was Eve formed? From the rib bone of Adam, right? And bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh and so God God put Adam to sleep and brought forth brought forth Eve, a suitable helpmate. So thus saith the Lord God under these bones, behold I will cause breath to enter into you and you shall live. Now, do you think Elon Musk would love to be able to do that? And I thank the Lord for the technology where they can do a neural link in a boy or girl or man or woman who are paralyzed and their spinal cord has been severed and if you didn't have this technology, then they might wind up being quadriplegic their whole life. But some of the technology that they're coming up with are able to reconnect their spinal cord to communicate in such a way that they can walk again and I saw today where they're putting this Neuralink into a young boy and so we we thank the Lord for the technology and they get intoxicated and think they're playing God and they say stuff like, we're never gonna die and we're gonna have transhumanism and and pretty soon, you know, nobody's ever gonna die or get sick again. Well, you're going too far now. You're going too far because you're not God and you're not gonna be able to do that, but But God is, God's able to take from the dirt and and make make man. Man from the dust of the ground. And I will lay sinews upon you and will bring up flesh upon you and cover you with skin and put breath in you and you shall live and you shall know that I am the Lord. And so there's a day coming where not only you're gonna come back to life nation of Israel, but there's a day coming future where you're have faith. Where you're gonna know that I'm the Lord And because they're regathered in unbelief. The the Jews don't believe in Jesus. The nation of Israel doesn't believe in Jesus. And when they rebuild that temple, they're doing it for Judaism in commemoration of Moses, the Mosaic law. So they're gonna have a national regeneration. We read about in Jeremiah 31 where God's gonna regenerate them, God's gonna bring them to life spiritually and the nation's gonna come to life as far as being back in the land. So I prophesied as I was commanded and as I prophesied, there was a noise and behold a shaking and the bones came together bone to its bone. Now, isn't there a song about that? Yeah. Yeah. That's it. Hip bone connect to the yeah. Now isn't there another song that the angels sing? Dry Dry I don't know if that's that's not in the bible. Bones. There it is. Isn't there a whole lot of shaking going on a rock and roll song? That the angels sing? See what he says here? And he says, and I prophesied and I was commanded and as I prophesied there was a noise and behold a shaking, a whole lot of shaking going on and the bones came together, bone to its bone and so so he did as he was told and as he as he did what he was told, God began to move and work and in Luke seventeen fourteen when Jesus told the 10 lepers to go and show themselves to the priest as they went, as they obeyed, they were cleansed. Amen. As they went, as they obeyed what the Lord told them to do. And Ezekiel is obeying the Lord and he gets the blessing of watching the bones come together and come to life. And I would beheld, lo, the sinews of the flesh came upon them. So this is a trip. I mean, is like eating magic mushrooms like, you know, it's like, wow. You know, look at what a trip you're having right now and how could you explain this to everybody? You know, was caught up in the spirit, man, I had a vision and these dry bones were there and kinda sounds like Joseph or Daniel the way that you interpret these things, right? So I beheld all the sinews and the flesh came upon them and the skin covered them above but there was no breath in them. So you got a body there but with everything that's needed, the sinews, the bones, the everything but there's no breath. The Holy Spirit is the breath. The Holy Spirit's the breath. That's right, Thomas. And we can be dead men walking. We can be dead spiritually. Just be body and soul and and go through this life and not know God, not have fellowship with God because we're dead to him, because we don't have the spirit. There's no breath in them. Then said he unto me, prophecy unto the wind, Ruach. Prophecy son of man and say to the wind, thus saith the Lord God, come from the four winds, oh breath and breathe upon the slain that they may live. Now, wouldn't that be great if the Holy Spirit came rushing in like a mighty rushing wind in Kitsap County and just just filled all the churches and all the Christians with the Holy Spirit and to watch God move and work in a in a great way? Asbury College? No? There wasn't there a revival in Asbury College? I'm not sure we can authenticate that but maybe, maybe, could be. I'm not gonna say dogmatically no, I don't know. Son of man and say unto the wind thus saith the Lord God, come from the four winds. So come from all over Northwest, Southeast, O breath and breathe upon the slain that they may live. So we pray, God send your Holy Spirit. God pour out your Holy Spirit. Pour out your Holy Spirit upon the people here in our community, Lord. Let them come to faith, know, cause the scales on their eyes to fall off, give them ears to hear, give them eyes to see and cause their spiritual faculties to be able to discern who you are and and come to know you and slain that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me and the breath came into them and they lived and stood upon their feet an exceedingly great army. And so, Jeremiah 3three 22 says that the nation of Israel is gonna be greater than all the angels and greater than all the sand in the sea for number and he's gonna cause them to multiply an exceedingly great army and Adam became a living soul. The visions explained in verse 11, then said, then he said unto me, son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. So you don't need to speculate. You don't need to allegorize or spiritualize. God's telling you right here, this isn't the church, this is the nation of Israel. Behold, they say our bones are dried and our hope is lost, we are cut off on our part. And so they say but the Lord the Lord has something else to say. Our bones are dried and our hope is lost and we are cut off on our part And Hosea one eleven talks about the house of Israel and Ephesians two one, you were quickened, you and I as Christians, we were dead in our sins and Ephesians two one talks about how we were quickened and that God brought us to life spiritually. In Nicodemus, you must be born again. So born of the spirit. Therefore prophesying saying to them, thus saith the Lord God, behold, oh my people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up of your graves and bring you into the land of Israel. So God's saying, I'm gonna bring you in. It's God's doing. And you shall know that I am the Lord when I have opened your graves, oh my people and brought you up out of your graves. And so, he's as we said in Romans eleven fifteen, if the casting off of Israel is the reconciling of the world, how much more the re gathering shall be life from the dead as life from from the dead. And in Matthew twenty four thirty and thirty one, the Lord's gonna send angels out and to the four quarters of the earth and to regather the Jews that are dispersed during the tribulation period for them to come in. And Romans eleven twenty six, know 25, blindness in part has happened unto Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved, that is written, there shall come out of Zion the deliverer and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. For this is my covenant to them when I shall take away their sins concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes as touching election, they are beloved for the father's sakes, for the gifts of the calling of God are without repentance. So in Matthew 24 when he says, but for the elect sake, that's the nation of Israel, that's not the church. It's the nation of Israel in the tribulation period. If you don't understand that and make those distinctions, then you can't you can't understand the prophecy from a chronological standpoint of of what's taking place. And so if you misconstrue and say that elect is the church and now you start mixing Old Testament saints, New Testament saints, tribulation saints, nation of Israel, you have no distinction and no time frame in God's dealing with each group in a time timeframe. Alright, verse 14, and shall put my spirit in you and you shall live and I shall place you in your own land, then shall you know that I the Lord have spoken it and performed it, say it the Lord. And so 05/14/1948, Israel was reborn as a nation and that's unprecedented in the history of the world. So you and I are living in the last of the last days, Right? We God who had sundry times and in diverse manners spake it in times past through the prophets has in these last days spoken to us through his son. So Jesus said, he that has seen me has seen the father. So from the first advent, the first time of Christ that he came in his first coming, what proceeded was the last days. We're living in the last days. The church age is the last days. And when the church age is finished, then we're in the time of the seventieth seven of Daniel. There's 70 sevens pertaining to the nation of Israel in Daniel chapter nine. And after 69 sevens, Messiah would be cut off. So from the time that go restore and rebuild Jerusalem to the coming of Messiah, the prince, and it would be four hundred and eighty three years prophesied, sixty nine seven year periods of time. And so on March fourteenth four forty five BC, Artaxerxes Lodimonenes gave the command to Nehemiah to go and restore and rebuild Jerusalem. And then four hundred and eighty three years later on April six thirty two AD, Jesus wrote into Jerusalem on this thy very day he said in Luke chapter 19. If you'd have known this thy day of your visitation, I think it's a hundred and seventy three, eight hundred and eighty some days later from that command is when Jesus rode in to Jerusalem And let me get that right. Four hundred and eighty three times three sixty, the Julian calendar is a hundred and seventy three, eight hundred and eighty days later. So sixty nine seven. So what that means is, there's one seven year period of time that God is gonna deal with the nation of Israel, and that's the tribulation period. The seventy seven of Daniel. And so they're regathered in unbelief and they're awaiting God's wrath to be poured out upon the world and they're awaiting God's correction upon them. God's gonna correct them. God's going to cause them to go through a horrific time, the time of Jacob's trouble, a dark dark Jesus said a time the world's never seen nor will ever see again. And in that in that crisis, in that tremendous pressure, that tribulation period, God's gonna bring a remnant to the end of themselves where they're finally going to cry out in faith. They're gonna say, blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. Alright. Now, he's got a sign of two sticks here, verse 15. The word of the Lord So you remember the nation of Israel was divided into two parts. Yeah, the 10 northern tribes and the two Benjamin and Judah is the southern tribe. And so now these two sticks are gonna come together as one. So as we proceed through this next section, we're gonna see 13 promises that God gives to Israel. 13 promises. So the word of the Lord came unto me saying, moreover son of man, take thee one stick and write upon it for Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions, then take another stick and write upon it for Joseph, the stick of Ephraim. So, Ephraim is the largest, most dominant tribe of the 10 northern tribes and of all the house of Israel, his companions and join them as one to another into one stick and they shall become one in thine hand. And so they're gonna be one nation once again, they're gonna be united. United we stand, divided we fall. I really, right now in the time in which we're living, it's kinda sobering to me to see on so many different levels the potential fracturing of our country and the world to fracture in in little pieces. They talk about the new world order, order out of chaos, the chaos that's ensuing, the chaos that's coming, the breaking down of the economy, the breaking down of nation states, the breaking of everything's gonna create such incredible with wars and famine, just the whole thing's so incredible. I mean, republican against democrat and ethnic group against ethnic group and poor against rich and it's it's like we're on the verge of this tremendous hatred that's developing and Jesus said that the love of many will grow cold because iniquity will abound, the love of many will grow cold. We're gonna forget to love And in the church, we gotta be so careful to not be divided, to not allow division, know, to quench the Holy Spirit and grieve the Holy Spirit. We can disagree on stuff, but not to the point of dividing over these tiny little things that mean nothing. We gotta keep the main thing the main thing that Jesus is coming again and be watching, be ready and get the gospel out. So when the you know, think of how tragic it was that the nation divided. You know, that Rehoboam, Jeroboam's gonna make an idol because he's afraid that the people go back to Jerusalem to celebrate the the feast. So hey, you know, we'll put one over here in Beersheba and another one over here and you guys don't need to go all the way back over there. So he introduces idolatrous practices to the 10 northern tribes and and how tragic that became. And then the southern tribe, as we look in Isaiah, they're no better with their idolatry. They have their idolatry right inside the, you know, the temple and how tragic. So, and when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee saying, wilt thou not show us what thou means by these? Say unto them, thus saith the Lord God, behold, I will take the stick of Joseph which is in your hand of Ephraim and the tribes of Joseph had two kids, Ephraim and Manasseh, and the tribes of Israel, his fellows and will put them with him, even the stick of Judah and make them one stick and they shall be one in my hand. And so the oneness, what did Jesus pray in John 17? That we'd be as one. And in John thirteen thirty five, Jesus said, by this shall all men know that you're my disciple. What is that? Love one That you have love one for another. Right? And so without love, we're nothing. Man, we gotta love during this time of this craziness. It's coming. I mean, people are burning up Teslas, man. What's up with that? They're hating Oeylon. They're hating Doge. It's just getting started, man. These guys are getting started. I wanna ask you a question. Did anybody that you know during the election cycle, did any of them ever anticipate president Trump's administration coming up with Doge? Yeah. No. Did anybody know about it? Anybody know that these first couple months, what we're watching happen, just everything being torn apart, you know, do anybody ever ever see that coming? Was that ever was that on the platform, vote for me and this is what I'm gonna do? He he he ran on a platform and and people don't wanna talk about He ran on a platform of anti woke and anti globalism. He wants Canada. He wants the Gulf Of America. He wants the Panama Canal. He wants Greenland. And he's got Elon Musk and all the globalists surrounding him. BlackRock just bought a bunch of ports, you know, near the Panama Canal. I mean, you're watching globalism on steroids. Nobody saw this coming. YouTube prophets missed it too. I know. Oh, no. I know. But it's it's so surreal we're afraid to talk about it. It's like, you know. So then people are like, well, we just gotta let him do what he's gonna do. And then what's what's what's festering is you're getting people to hate Democrats. Every time they find wasteful spending, it's like, oh, those dirty Democrats. You know? Trump's gonna clean it up. Hey. Democrats and Republicans are gonna lose jobs. You know? It isn't just Democrats gonna lose jobs, and it isn't just Democrats that misspand, that spend money in a bad way. The Republicans spend just as much money as Democrats, you know. They're on the same team. So we're watching a breakdown of government. We're watching America be reduced so that the global government can emerge is what we're watching. And it's exciting because Israel's in the land. And when you watch the news, is Israel ever in the news? Do you ever hear about Israel? Yes. They're always in the news, everywhere. Do you ever hear anything about Greenland? Ireland? You know? But Israel's always in the news. Always. And there was a rocket fired in Yemen, I guess, today or whatever, and there's always turmoil there in Israel. It's a cup of trembling in Zechariah. Right? And and it's gonna get worse. And so one stick and they shall be and one mine in hand and the sticks on which thou write shall be in one hand before their eyes. And say unto them, thus saith the Lord God, behold, I will take the children of Israel from among nations to which they are gone and will gather them on every side and bring them into their own land. So the first prophet said, I'm gonna gather them. Did he do that? Has he done that? Is he doing that? Yeah. He gonna continue to gather them? Yep. Now what land is he gonna bring them in? Their own land. Israel. Yeah. Their own land, historical Israel, right? And bring them so you have the first promise, I'm gonna gather them. Two, I'm gonna bring them into their own land. Whose land is it? God. So who wants to read Matthew twenty four thirty and thirty one? Anybody wanna read that? I'll read that. 24, 31. 24, thirty, and thirty one. And then shall appear the sign of man in heaven, and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds from one heaven of heaven to the other. So this regathering has started. The nation of Israel, not all of them, but they're in the land. They are a nation and and they're continuing to grow in in in that there's a desire in the hearts of Jews all over the world to return to Jerusalem I mean, return to Israel. And in a fascinating way, the Russians, you know, agreed to release Jews. The governments of the world allowed to release them and let them come back, return to their homeland, and they've come from all over the world. And at the end of the tribulation period, the second coming of Christ, he's gonna send his angels out to regather those that are that are still out there somewhere, his elect and bring them back in. And so that's two of the promises and I will make them one nation, so no longer divided. There's the third promise. I'll make you one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel. And here's the fourth promise, and one king. Not the antichrist, right? Not Trump. Trump sure liked to be a king, wouldn't he? And shall be king to them all and they shall be no more two nations neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms anymore at all. So, they're gonna be one king, one nation and king of kings and lord of lords is Jesus and then David is gonna be king or a prince under Jesus governing over the nation of Israel. And so, and you and I are gonna be kings and priests ruling and reigning with him. Neither shall they defile themselves anymore with idols. So there's the sixth promise in that an end of idols. They're they've been so susceptible to idolatry and it's the idolatry that's gotten them into so much trouble and it frustrates God, you know, that you you take and you chop down a tree and then you chisel it and you make an image and it's got eyes that can't see, it's got ears that can't hear, it's got a mouth but can't speak, and it's got a throat but it can't talk. Well, the image of the beast is an idol that's gonna talk. Right? And but God's saying, I'm the creator and you're worshiping serving the creature more than me, the creator in Romans one. Right? And it it grieves God's heart because he told me, you have no other gods before me. So these little g gods, these little idols, they're bound down to these and Paul said that which they're doing, they're actually making their offerings on the demons. It's demonic deception that stands behind these these symbols, these idols that represent one. It could represent power, know, the various idols that the Egyptians had. Could you could worship the sun god. You could worship the sun god because if the sun's just right, it'll equal prosperity because you'll have just enough crops and everything. You can worship the Nile because you're gonna irrigate everything. You could worship anything. What's the worship of today? Brandon always knows it. It's called Gaia. Gaia? Worship of Mother Earth. What's it called? Gaia. Gaia. Yeah. So worship of Mother Earth, that's what the climate control people wanna do where they worship the planet and you and I have too many hydrocarbons, you know, the carbon coming out of our mouth, our carbon footprint. And science tells us that our carbon stimulates the plant life and the plant life gives off oxygen that stimulates us and rainforests and plants and trees and all help the air and and they wanna cut it all down. Bill Gates wants to bury them under the wants to cut all the trees down, bury it under the earth. You know, what a nut job. He's just such a they should make him that villain in some of those movies, you know, Doctor Death or whatever. The guy is always thinking of ways to kill people. I guess we could idolize the flag too, right? You could idolize the flag, yeah. Anything. Your your god is the master passion of your life. You have no other gods before me, Lord says. It could be wealth, it could be popularity, it could be sexual lust, all sorts of things. Nor with their detestable things, nor with say any of their transgressions, but I will and here comes the seventh promise, I will save them out of all their dwelling places in which they have sinned and will cleanse them. So the seventh promise, I'm gonna save you and cleanse you from your defilements, from your filthiness. Sunday, we're gonna talk about repentance and a godly sorrow versus a worldly sorrow and I love the work of the Holy Spirit in leading you and I to repentance and confession of our sin to be washed and cleansed of all unrighteousness. The Bible says judgment must begin in the house of God. Amen, Thomas. Amen. And when we get filthy, where do we go, Thomas? We go to the bar. So That's it. First first John. Right? First John one nine. Right? Right. So we confess our sin. We agree and and the nation of Israel is gonna confess. They're gonna have a national confession that they blew it, that they crucified Jesus and then they're gonna have a national conversion. Jeremiah 31, God's gonna convert them. They're gonna be born again and so they're gonna be cleansed. Man, we're washed in the blood of the lamb. What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Right? Yes, amen. And all of our righteousness is as filthy rags. Right? Right. And so, that's a really filthy rag. Now, would you take that kind of a cloth and try to restore a cloth like that or would you throw it away? It's good for nothing to be thrown away. Right? Right. And so it's a menstrual cloth and you don't you don't try to you don't try to take a menstrual cloth and and present that as your righteousness and restore the menstrual cloth. No. You gotta throw that stuff away, man. God's saying you're the one your best day, you stink the place up. That's what he's saying. And you're righteous as filthy rags. But his righteousness, that's what he gives us, his own righteousness and so imputed to our account as his righteousness. So I'll cleanse them, so shall they be my people and I will be their God. And David my servant shall be king over them and they shall all have one shepherd. So that's the eighth promise. You're gonna have one shepherd over you. The Lord is my shepherd. David was a shepherd first before he built a king. Right? And you look at Abraham as a as a shepherd and Moses a shepherd and Jesus the great shepherd, the chief shepherd, the good shepherd that lays down his life for the sheep. They shall also walk in mine ordinances. So what a blessing to see your children walking in obedience to the Lord. The Lord is saying, my kids are gonna they're gonna obey me one day. I'm gonna cleanse them. I'm gonna convert them. I'm gonna deliver them from themselves from their idols and all that. I'm gonna restore them to fellowship, restore them to their land, you know. What a glorious messianic age. Right? The messianic age, the kingdom age, the real kingdom age, not the one that these guys are spouting off from the Department of Faith in Washington. Is it Washington DC? They're they're all speculating of a golden age up ahead, you know. Everyone's gonna get rich, the drumsters telling everybody, you know. Don't you think people wanna hear that stuff? They do. They do. And boy, what a fall. What a tremendous fall awaits him. But God delivers. His promises are yay and amen. He's these are promises that you can take to the bank. So king over them and they shall have one shepherd and they shall also walk in mine ordinances and observe my statutes. So in the millennium, there's still going to be, you know, rules. There's still going to be walking in righteousness, not the Mosaic Law, but the law of love, you know. The Lord the Lord is going to instruct and teach us and he's not abolishing the law. The law is good, but we're gonna relate in love. We're gonna walk in righteousness and he's gonna write his law in our hearts. We're gonna know the right thing to do and and obey. And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant in which Now notice the word dwell three times here and the duration forever. So the ninth promise is they're gonna be established. No longer kicked out of the land, no longer dispersed, no longer thrown out. Right? Anybody that's come from a broken home and watched how it unravels, what you yearn for is to be established. You yearn for stability. You yearn to plant roots somewhere, you know? Right. And so they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob, my servant which your fathers have dwelled and they shall dwell in the four times the word dwell and they shall the children and their children's children forever and my servant David shall be their prince forever. So never gonna end. His love for us and everlasting love, an everlasting love. And now he's gonna make a covenant of peace with them, a tenth tenth promise. Moreover, I will make a covenant of peace and Jesus is the prince of peace, right? Amen. With them. And it should be an everlasting covenant. Got the old covenant, the new covenant, the everlasting covenant with them. And I'll place them and multiply them. So the eleventh problem promise is prosperity. He's gonna cause them to prosper. And I'll place them and multiply them and will set my sanctuary. There's the twelfth promise. God's gonna put a sanctuary, a temple in the millennium. God's gonna be that tabernacle. He's gonna tabernacle among us. My sanctuary in the midst of them forevermore. My tabernacle also shall be with them, yea, I'll be their God and they shall be my people. And the nation shall know. The nations shall know. So there you're gonna be a testimony. God wanted the nation of Israel to be a light under the Gentiles, but they sinned greater than the Gentiles. They sinned way worse sins than the Gentiles. More than just taking knowledge of them. Yeah. They they Manasseh I mean, they burn babies. They burn their own children. God never asked them to sacrifice babies. No life and experience, not just taking knowledge of them. Amen. Experiential. And the nation shall know that I, this is the thirteenth promise, I the Lord do sanctify Israel. Sanctify means I'm gonna make you holy. You're gonna be a holy people. When my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them forevermore. I had a woman the other day at the gym Act really, really rude, this old lady. And and I was I had my bag there and and I by a bench, and I I was getting my weights ready to do my dead lifts, and she come walking over, and she's real crotchety, real crotchety. And I said, oh, is my bag in your way? And and she she's, yeah. It's in my way. Oh, I'll move it for you. I'll move it for you. And and she says, Harley is gonna train me. He's gonna train me. I said, oh, okay. And am am I in your way? Yeah. You're in my way. Harley's gonna train me here. We train here. And I'm like, oh, okay. And finally, I started getting there. Harley's gonna train you. And the whole gym can hear her, which she's doing. She's, you know, she's yelling at me and I'm trying to calm her down. And you know how old people are. And No. I'm not. And and she she's raising her voice, and people started looking over at me like, oh, how's he gonna handle that and all? And and so I just moved, and I I said, you want me to get your broom for you? You know? No. No. I didn't say that. I didn't say that. I didn't say that. I didn't say that. Unless you say it, it's not a sin if you think it. Alright. So so I moved over and I did my did my thing and then Hartley went over there. Boy, he didn't wanna look at me. And, you know, when you see situation like that, immediately she used to start praying for Harley. Right? What a what what a saint of a man to have this kind of a person to deal with, you know? And she starts to do her little ritual with Harley and it starts out with they start singing, take me out to the ballgame. Okay? Now, I'm okay with that. Baseball. Right? Right. Israel's gonna be a testimony unto the nations. You and I are a testimony, a witness of Jesus. Right? But we can blow our witness. So for me, I could get really angry and blow my witness. Right? Or I could just move away from her. Right? Yep. Okay. But what grieved me was when they got finished doing the take me out to the ballgame, then they did some hallelujah stuff and praise God stuff. And I was just like, you're kidding me. You're a Christian? You're you're letting people know you act like this, and then now you're gonna name the name of God, name the name of Jesus? Why don't you just keep your mouth shut, you know? That's not a good witness acting like that, you know? And so we don't wanna be like that, you know? We want we want the Lord to be glorified. We wanna be a witness and a testimony. And the nation of Israel, no matter what sins they've ever committed as bankers or how many people are anti semitic and hate them and all that, God's saying, you know what? I'm gonna make them a witness and a testimony of the nations. They're gonna be sanctified. They're gonna be made holy and and good. And so, and the nation shall know that I am the Lord. So they're gonna come to know God through the nation of Israel because of God's dealings with them and when we get into chapter thirty eight and thirty nine, when the war of Gog Magog comes against Israel, again, the Lord's glorified because he's gonna intervene and destroy five out of every six of the invading force and the whole world's gonna have to recognize that the true living God is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Right. And that he's going to protect the apple of his eye against any and everybody that tries to remove them from the land or come in to take a spoil. And so, and the nation and see that's that's not replacement theology. That's a literal nation of Israel reborn in the land and you and I are living in a time where we know that Israel's in the land and we see this prophecy written seven hundred years before even longer, twenty seven hundred years before Israel finally is regathered, and and only God can do that. Only God can say something like this and then back it up and put them there. So if there's other prophecies that need to still be fulfilled, can I bank on them? Can I believe that God is gonna continue to fulfill every single prophecy that he's given to Israel, that he's given to the church, that he's given to you and I? I mean, that's a good place to live is in believing that Jesus is coming again and that way I don't put my faith and trust in Republicans and Democrats and men and posers and and all that. I I've got a far better playbook, you know, chronologically laid out, systematically laid out events that are coming, events that are gonna take place that Jesus said if you when you see these things begin to come to pass, then look up for your redemption is drawing nigh. That should cause you and I to let go of the world, the hope that we have in the world of going back to normal and all, and realize that everything's happening, everything's going according to plan. It's not doom and gloom. Jesus is coming again for his bride for the church and he's coming again for the nation of Israel, the wife of Jehovah to establish them in the land. And so the nations shall know that I, nations shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them forevermore. And so, Jesus tabernacled among us. They didn't recognize him the first time, God incarnate tabernacle. So in the beginning was the word, the word was with God, the word was God, the same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him and without him was not anything made that was made and the word became flesh, the incarnation, the babe of Bethlehem. The word became flesh and dwelt among us, tabernacled among us. God incarnate, standing before Pilate, stand before in the religious leaders, standing before the disciples, know, that's God in human flesh right there, tabernacled, know. And they didn't know who he was, you know. Didn't know him and how sad that is but how great it is that God's revealed himself to you and I. Right. That we know who God is, he's Jesus. Amen. And, the father, the son, the holy spirit, God in three persons, in the midst of them forevermore. So, they're gonna they're going to finally finally finally enter into what God's been wanting to do for them as a nation, as a people. And he formed them, he went and he looked for somebody that he could use and he found the son of an idolater in Ur of the Chaldeans named Abraham, Abram. And then his his girlfriend Sarah came and God said, I'm a make of you a great nation and if you could number all the stars of heaven, that's the size of this nation. Right? And all people, all kings of the world, in your seed, singular, the Messiah, all nations of the earth are gonna be blessed. So God took a man to form a nation to bring forth a Messiah. Jesus is a Jew. Right? He's the savior of the whole world. That's it. It's all about Jesus. Alright. Let's pray. Father, thank you for the sweet time that we could study your word. Thank you lord that we're not confused. We're not looking at this in a subjective manner or in the abstract, but but objective, Lord. We know that you're a God who keeps your promises. Yes, Lord. And we don't need to waver or or allegorize or or fall into the trap of of what I think or she thinks, you know. It's it's what you think. It's what you've said and your word is real clear and we thank you for the promises that have already been fulfilled and we look for the nation of Israel to be attacked by a coalition of nations in Ezekiel thirty eight and thirty nine, and we might see this happen, Lord, if we're not raptured in time, and and you're gonna intervene, and you're going to spare the nation of Israel and you're gonna destroy these nations that come for the spoil. And Lord, there's gonna be a peace treaty at the end of this, at the end of that war. It could possibly be the Ezekiel thirty eight thirty nine and Lord, the emerging of the Antichrist and a peace treaty. So Lord, we're getting close. We're very very close to these things happening. Israel's talking about taking out the nukes, potential nukes in Iran. And with help from The US, things could really escalate, really really get out of control here in the days and weeks ahead. But Lord, we know that you're on the throne, you're in control, and Lord, everything's happening according to plan, that you have a plan and a purpose in all of this, that you're coming soon, you're coming again, and we're looking up, Lord, knowing our redemption draws nigh. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem. We pray, Lord, that you'd open the eyes of of the Jews, that they they come to a saving faith in you, that more and more would come to know you. And we pray Lord for our country in America that there'd be a national repentance and a turning unto you Lord. Humbling ourselves like the city of Nineveh did and turning unto you that many would be safe Lord. So bless, thank you for Rob and Vicky and Brandon allowing us to be here tonight And Lord, we do lift up those that are sick and pray that you would heal them, Lord. Heal my dad, Lord. Help them be able to walk right and heal Kelly, heal Shelly, and Cora, and Allen. Thank you for healing Sally, and thank you for healing Gary, and we pray that you heal James' knees and anybody else who's sick, Lord, that your healing touch would be upon them. In Jesus' name, amen.
