I sing this simple song to my savior, to my Jesus. I'm grateful for the things you've done. My loving savior, Let's pray. Father, now as we open your word, Lord, we come to a very controversial section of scripture, the tribulation period. And, Lord, we pray that you would edify and build us up, strengthen us, help us to be accustomed, help us to not have any fear concerning the book of Revelation, and that we'd have a confidence in you, that you had this you wrote this book, you provided so that so that we'd receive a blessing, Lord, so that we would be comforted in knowing your time frame and and your soon return and and we we just pray that you'd be our teacher and open the scriptures to our understanding. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen. Alright. The the outline of chapter one verse 19, Debbie got it last week. Anybody else wanna try for it? You can cheat. You can read it. Reveal Christ. Write the things which you Have seen. Have Rob's saying it. The have seen, which is what? Chapter what? Christ. One. Yeah. Right? George got it? Write the things That are. Present tense. And the things that shall be. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Which are? Which is which is what? The present day, the church age. Church age. That's what I wanted. And that's covers chapters two and three. Right? Okay. And then write the things the third part. Write the things which. Hereafter. Shall be the hereafter. Hereafter and hereafter is what? Meditata. Hereafter. Meditata after these things. So after the church age, how long has the church age been going on? Two thousand. Over two thousand. Two thousand years. And where is the church after the Metatauta? In heaven. Which is chapter four and five. Right? Yeah. K. Now we start chapter six, and the chapter six starts the tribulation period. The seventy seventh seventy seventh of Daniel chapter nine twenty five to 27, and it's a final seven year period of time, also known as the time of Jacob's trouble where God is gonna do three things, accomplish three a lot of things, but three basic things, purpose of this tribulation period, is number one, to end wickedness. Amen. He's going to at the end of this, he's going to take the antichrist and the false prophet are gonna immediately go into the lake of fire, Gehenna, into hell. And secondly, the devil's gonna be grabbed by an angel and put into the abyss for a thousand years and then loosed after the millennium for just a short season, and then eventually he goes to the Lake Of Fire also. And so there's the unholy trinity. Satan sees himself as God the father. Sin original sin began in heaven when Satan rebelled against God. Adam and Eve sinned later after that, but first it was it was Lucifer, Isaiah 14 that rebelled against God with one third of the stars, one third of the demons, the angels went with them, and they've been battling it out. And then the liturgy god of this world, Satan, he was a serpent in the garden in chapter three, and Adam and Eve sinned and that they partook of the tree of knowledge and good and evil. So Adam, our first federal head, the one that was to take dominion over the earth, he forfeited forfeited that headship under the devil, under under the serpent. And the serpent, the dragon, he still is fighting against God and sees himself as God the father in Isaiah chapter 14. He wants to be worshipped as God, also a picture of him in Ezekiel 28. And so all the way back in Genesis three fifteen, there's a curse that God placed that the seed of the woman, the virgin born son of God, Jesus, that his heel would be bruised but that he would crush the serpent's heads. He'd crush the seed of the serpent. So the seed of the serpent is the Antichrist, is the in place of Jesus Christ. And tonight in chapter six verse one, we're introduced to the antichrist. And and so and I saw when the lamb opened one of the seals. So in chapter five, who is worthy to open the scroll and loose the seals? The title deed to the earth because we got a new federal head. We got the last Adam who was crucified, buried, raised from the dead, ascended to the right hand of the father, and now it's time for him to return and to take vengeance upon the devil, the beast, the false prophet, and all the wicked that are rebelling against him and the fallen angels and all. So he's going to subdue them and and take possession of the planet, and then also he's going to end wickedness. He's gonna rule and reign with a rod of righteousness as king of kings and lord of lords. And he's also, during this tribulation period, gonna allow revival. The second reason for the tribulation period is revival. In chapter six and seven, you see innumerable multitude of people coming to Christ, and, man, they're revived. And you have the 144,000. You got the angels sharing the gospel overhead. You got the two witnesses for the first half of the tribulation period witnessing from Jerusalem. And and so you've got also Elijah is coming back, and he's gonna be back. And so he might be one of the two witnesses. We don't know. But from chapter six to 18 is the tribulation period. You could squeeze it into 19 because nineteen's Armageddon. It's the second coming of Jesus Christ, and he's gonna subdue in the campaign of Armageddon all of his enemies, and he destroys the antichrist and the false prophet with the brightness of his coming, the sword of his mouth in second Thessalonians chapter two. And so the way it's laid out is the six through nine plus verse 17 is the first half of the tribulation period, 10 through 14 is the middle of the tribulation period, and fifteen, sixteen, and 18 is the second half of the tribulation period. The third reason for the tribulation period, the first being the end of wickedness, the second being revival, the third is to humble Israel because Israel's too proud. So God has to back them into a corner, and they flee Jerusalem. They run from the Antichrist and his armies, and they run to present day Southern Jordan or Petra. And known as Basra, known as Mount Seir, and and that's where God has prepared a place for them, them as in the one third remnant from Zechariah thirteen eight nine, and they cry out, blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. They're humbled to the point they recognize that they pierced their Messiah. And and so that's the intention, the 77 Daniels. It's a time of Jacob's trouble. And so I saw the lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard as it were the noise of thunder, and one of the four living creatures saying, come, it's time. And I saw and behold a white horse, and he that sat on him had a bow and a crown was given unto him and he went forth conquering and to conquer. Now, who do you think that is? Whole lot of people argue about that verse. Okay. And so we would we would try to emphasize that this is the antichrist, not Jesus Christ. Now turn to chapter 19 verse 11 so that we can have a distinction here. And I saw heaven open and behold a white horse and he that sat upon him was called faithful and true and is and in righteousness does he judge and and make war. His eyes were like a flame of fire and on his head were many crowns. Now this crown on his head is diadem, a royal crown. He's the real deal. The crown that is on the Antichrist on a white horse is a Stephanos crown, and he's conquering, but it's not a royal crown. He is a counterfeit. We have to enter emphasize that there's a counterfeit trinity. The devil is the counterfeit god the father, the AC, the antichrist, the son of perdition, all kinds of different names. He's a counterfeit Jesus Christ. The antichrist means in place of Jesus Christ. And then the false prophet is a counterfeit holy spirit, so the unholy trinity. And so on the head of Jesus, he's got royal crown and he had a name written with no man knew but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood and his name is called the word of God, truth incarnate. And his vesture is dipped in blood, and you can tie that in with Isaiah 63 when he's trampling out the vintage. You can tie it in with Revelation 14 when the blood's as high as the horse's bridle, right? And he come to do war, he come to stop evil and it was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood and his name is called the word of God. And the armies that were in heaven followed him, the armies of angels followed him upon white horses clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And Enoch, the book of Enoch, it says he comes with 10 thousands and thousands, verse fourteen and fifteen, with his brides and with the fine linen. And we're not there to fight, we're there as observers and as we come back with Jesus and we're observing, watching him take possession of the planet. In evidence out of his mouth goes a sharp sword and it's the Greek word, which is a large a large two handed executioner sword with that he should smite the nations and he shall rule them with a rod of iron. And he treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of almighty God. So tie that into the first three verses of Isaiah 63 and also in Revelation 14, the blood being four and a half feet high over a 200 mile battlefield, 200 mile square battlefield. It's the Valley Of Megiddo or of Armageddon. And he has on his vesture and on his thigh a name written king of kings and lord of lords. So just just so we don't interpret chapter six here verse one and two that that's Jesus there on that white horse. Okay? We don't we don't wanna misinterpret that. So I wanna make sure that we get that right. And so let's look at this, the Stephanos crown. Find my place again. And he says, and I saw and behold a white horse and he that sat on it had a bow, a bow with no arrows, and a crown, a Stephanos crown, was given unto him and he went forth conquering and and to conquer. So the Stephanos crown is the crown of an overcomer and so he's The strongest g 3,022. He's I'm sorry about that. Oh, it's okay. It sounds like Justin Alfred. Yeah. I like Justin. And and and in fact, I like the the Diadem crown so much that when we were kids, I would only drink royal crown soda. Just only royal crown. Do they still have that? Yes. Oh, they do? That'd be my drink if I drink soda. Alright. So let's back up here. I got some notes here for you on my phone because you can do that nowadays. Alright. The the tribulation period is called the time of Jacob's trouble. So you guys can write this down if you want or just get the tape. The time of Jacob's trouble, Jeremiah 30 verse seven. The seventieth week of Daniel, Daniel nine twenty seven. Yahweh's strange work, Isaiah twenty eight twenty one. Yahweh's strange act, Isaiah twenty eight twenty one. The day of Israel's calamity, Deuteronomy thirty two thirty five and Obadiah 12 through 14. The tribulation, the definite article, not tribulation. People make crazy mistakes in their in their exegesis of of the bible. They say, oh, we're in tribulation now. It's a general tribulation that Jesus is speaking of. You will have tribulation in the world, but be of good cheer, I've overcome the world. It speaks of pressure. This is a specific time and with all these other names or or sightings of it, should know it's a specific time different than the church age. Okay? So we in the church age, we agree, we go through pressure. We we experience tribulation, trouble, affliction, suffering, all those things. But this is the day of Israel's calamity, the tribulation, the indignation, Isaiah 2six 20, Daniel eleven thirty six, the overflowing scourge, that's a good name for it, Isaiah 2eight fifteen and eighteen, The day of vengeance, Isaiah thirty four eight, thirty five four, and six sixty one two. The year of recompense, Isaiah thirty four eight. The time of trouble, Daniel twelve one, Zephaniah one fifteen. The day of wrath. Yeah. You alright? I'm fast. Oh, okay. Are you writing these down? I'm trying. Oh, okay. The time of trouble, Daniel twelve one, Zephaniah one fifteen. Thank you. The day of wrath, Zephaniah one fifteen. The day of distress, Zephaniah one fifteen. The day of wasteness, Zephaniah one fifteen. The day of desolation, Zephaniah one fifteen. The day of darkness, Zephaniah one fifteen. Amos five eighteen and twenty. Joel two verse two. I'll call it a day of darkness. There's five blackouts during the tribulation period and we'll see one in in our text here this morning. Total blackouts. I'm yeah, that's gonna be ominous. We're not gonna be here though. The day of gloominess, Zephaniah one fifteen, Joel two two. The day of clouds, Zephaniah one fifteen, Joel two verse two. The day of thick darkness, Zephaniah one fifteen and Joel two two. The day of the trumpet, Zephaniah one sixteen. The day of alarm, Zephaniah one sixteen. Now, in the New Testament, those are all Old Testament references. And so everybody that likes to be a replacement theology person or that the church has replaced Israel, there's no 77 of Daniel. There's no tribulation period. And in seventy AD when Titus surrounded Jerusalem, put a siege upon it, and destroyed the city, it wasn't a seven year period of time. You know, it's not the day of the Lord. And so anyway, New Testament, the day of the lord, first Thessalonians five two. The wrath of god, Revelation fifteen one, fifteen seven, fourteen ten, nineteen, and sixteen one. The hour of trial, Revelation three ten, the great day of the wrath of the lamb of god, Revelation six seventeen seventeen in our text. The wrath to come, first Thessalonians one ten. The wrath, first Thessalonians five nine, and Revelation eleven eighteen. The great tribulation, Matthew twenty four twenty one, Revelation two twenty two, Revelation seven fourteen. The tribulation, Matthew twenty four twenty nine. Thank you. The hour of judgement, Revelation fourteen seven. Okay. Now, a summary of of how this goes. Where we're at prophetically right now. So, Israel's in the land. Tribulation period wouldn't happen unless Israel's in the land. A fulfillment of Ezekiel thirty six and thirty seven, 05/14/1948. Two thousand years outside the land, miraculously, god brings them back into the land. Under Jewish control. And prophetically speaking, most of the people, most of the prophecy guys think that the next thing to happen, the rapture can happen at any time. So we're not dating the rapture right now. We're talking about the tribulation period when it starts. Before it starts, there's going to be a war where Russia comes down with a coalition of nations, Ezekiel thirty eight and thirty nine, and goes into Israel to take a spoil. And many feel that spoil would be the natural gas, the oil, maybe a lot of the natural minerals they have in the Dead Sea, but to take a spoil, there's a hook in the jaw. Gog is the leader of Magog, and Magog is this invading force. The primary leader of this is Russia from the North, and then you have also Persia, which is Iran. You have Germany, and you have Ethiopia and Somalia. Some would say Turkey is gonna come in. And so a coalition of nations who are gonna come and invade Israel, and they're gonna lose. Five out of every six of that invading force is going to lose. And when they lose, that's gonna give opportunity for this antichrist to present a covenant, a seven year covenant, which could be the the whole start of the tribulation period because the tribulation period doesn't start with the rapture. It starts with the Daniel nine twenty seven covenant that the Antichrist makes with the nation of Israel. Now another thing is we're gonna do a podcast about the last days global government. Well, the one world government comes before the 10 kings according to Daniel seven twenty three, gonna devastate the entire world. So that gives opportunity for the antichrist to emerge during that time of a one world government. Prince Charles, not Prince, but King Charles of England, has said this man needs a trillion dollars to do what they need him to do. So the world is looking for this dictator to come along, and don't think the guy with the orange hair is the guy, but I've got some nice hair. This one would be more led by the United Nations, where all the nations would get together and they'd have a one world global government possibly with the blockchain technology they're developing with the with the banks and all that, gives them the authority, gives them the the the leverage to leverage everybody. And then if you read Daniel seven twenty four, then that breaks up into 10 regions or 10 toes. President Trump's talking about Iceland again. So we looked at the technocrats, the thing that Mark Dinsmore sent me, and we've also looked at the Club of Rome, Mark dug up one that Elon Musk's grandpa was a part of in the thirties called Technocrats. And this is where the world is divided up into 10 regions and led by, guess what, Technocrats. So Patrick Woods wrote a book called Technocracy, and and so, anyway, these 10 will be led by 10 kings or in Daniel seven twenty twenty four, it's 10 horns or 10 kings. And then Revelation thirteen seventeen, you're gonna see 10 crowns and 10 kings ruling over. So from Venezuela to Greenland, we could be a part of one of the 10 regions with a king over this region. Okay? That's kind of the picture. It's not the European common market or the rebirth of the Roman Empire. Now that fourth empire in 07/23 could be that one world, the rebirth of the Roman Empire, But the the Rome is Rome is finished, but there's gonna be a rebirth, and that rebirth is gonna morph into a continuation into the 10 kings. Alright. 10 kingdoms. And then you have the rise of Antichrist according to second Thessalonians chapter two. And in order for the Antichrist to rise, the church is gonna need to be taken out with the with the rapture. And so somewhere in there before the antichrist can be revealed, he's alive. Many think he's alive right now, but and I'm not gonna let you know about my book. I know who he is. But but people speculate who he is, and that's a that's a that's a dead end. So the 10 kings and then the the rise of the antichrist, his career, so he starts to rise. And then there's a period of peace and false security. So we're hearing about peace and security presently, but according to first Thessalonians five one through three, the world is gonna be enamored with this guy because he's going to be using the terminology of peace and security peace and security. And what's interesting today is peace is war. Today, peace is war. We're applauding president Trump for being bringing peace everywhere. Peace in Ukraine. Peace in Ukraine is war. The peace will turn into pieces. Anyway, the peace and security. So when you look at the pronouns that are used there, the children of light see the day of the lord coming, but the children of darkness, they're seduced by the peace and security mantra. They're seduced by as they suppress the truth, they're given over to the strong delusion that these technocrats through the inspiration of the devil are bringing to people that you'll never die again, that you can get the Neuralink in your head and and we can download your brain and we can put a little cyber thing with you and you can be like Arnold Schwarzenegger, you know, and Blimey man. There you go. And then you got the seven year covenant. So the seven year covenant is what we're talking about here. This is what Daniel nine twenty seven. When that peace treaty it could be a peace treaty. It could be and peace treaty means there's a war. And so the war very well could be the Ezekiel thirty eight thirty nine war, and then the it lends itself to the bringing forth the Antichrist to emerge to sign a a covenant with the nation of Israel for seven years. And the Antichrist is gonna come out of Rome. The people that crucified our Lord, he's not gonna be a Jew but a Gentile. There's a lot of fighting going on over all of that. And he's the seed of the serpent. And Revelation 17, it says that he comes up out of the sea. The sea is the sea of the Gentiles. So he comes up out of the sea of the Gentiles, and the people that crucified the Lord were the Romans. So he's probably an Italian guy, kinda into disco, something like that, and and a slick suit and all that. But so let's look at the antichrist now, his name. He's described as a seed of Satan in Genesis three fifteen. Counterfeit. Right? He's the little horn of Daniel seven verse eight. He's the king of fierce countenance in Daniel eight twenty three. Gotta slow down for Vicky. She's typing this down. The prince that shall come, Daniel nine twenty six. Now, that prince that shall come is the one that's going to sign in the next verse, nine twenty seven, that covenant, okay? Covenant agreement and remember, the nation of Israel is going to be burying bodies for seven months, marking the bodies, burying bodies in that five out of every six that gets destroyed. They're gonna be burning armaments for seven years. So this event has to it it can't be at the end of the tribulation period where that burning looking at bodies would be, if you're post tribute, would be, end of the millennium. And so, this is before the tribulation period. And the nation of Israel, if they're re inaugurated in a temple and the mosaic system in Judaism, the reason they would mark the bodies is so that nobody would be unclean if you touch a dead body. So you have designated body people that bury these bodies, and and that's another aspect or characteristic of what's taking place in Ezekiel thirty eight and thirty nine. He's the desolator. He's the prince that shall come, we said. He's the desolator, Daniel nine twenty seven. So like the terminator, the desolator. The willful king, Daniel eleven thirty six. The man of sin, second Thessalonians two verse three, the son of perdition, second Thessalonians two verse three. He's the lawless one, second Thessalonians two verse eight. He's the antichrist in first John two twenty two and he's the beast in Revelation 11 verse seven. Alright. So that gives us a little overview of who we're talking about, what we're talking about, prophetically where we're at. We're in the church age, and so if if you see now when you have that one world government of of Daniel seven twenty three, part of it is is is a division of East West, and it could very well be that God's going to use the destruction of Russia and that the coalition of nations to break the backbone of of the eastern block of power. And then it says that three of these nations of the 10 fight against the antichrist and he subdues them. And then the other seven give him their sovereignty, and then he becomes the eighth will be that last half of the tribulation period, the time of the great tribulation Jesus described. So Jesus differentiates between tribulation period, seven years, and it's it's hell on earth for all seven years. And the abomination of desolation spoken by Daniel the prophet when this antichrist goes into the temple, declares himself to be God, demands to be worshipped as God, that's the start of what's known as the great tribulation period, the greater part of greater intensity. The first part is not a time of peace. As we're gonna see in chapter six here, as soon as you open these seals, two billion people die. There's war, famine, pestilence, beasts. So it's not a picnic. It's just the intensity geared toward or or directed toward the nation of Israel intensifies for the final twelve hundred and sixty days, the three and a half years, the forty two months that is described as the great tribulation period. And Jesus said except those days be short and no flesh be saved but for the elect's sake, Jesus intervenes to save the nation of Israel that's fleeing from the guy that they trusted and they signed an agreement with and declares himself to be God and demands to be worshiped as God. The whole world has to worship him. So Satan's suicidal attempt. So let's start again. And I saw when the lamb opened one of the seals and I heard that were the noise of thunder, one of the four living creatures, the cherub, saying, come. And I saw and behold a white horse and he that sat on him had a bow and a crown was given unto him and he went forth conquering and to conquer. Now Paul talks about in second Corinthians chapter 12 or chapter 11, he talks about how he doesn't want the church of Corinth to be seduced, to be deceived. He says in second Corinthians chapter 11, I've espoused you to one husband even to Christ but I fear lest as the serpent beguiled Eve so you would be beguiled or seduced away from the simplicity that's in Christ. So if somebody comes along with a different gospel don't believe them. If somebody comes along with a different Christ, don't give in. You know, don't don't don't tolerate it. If they come with a different spirit, don't give in to it. And so he says, and don't marvel for Satan is able to manifest himself as an angel of light. That's what the AC is doing. He's manifesting himself as a peace person. He's not coming like an Obama or a Biden or a Harris, the terrible Democrats who hate babies, monsters. He's coming as a cleaned up Republican, a conservative Christian Republican at the Charlie Kirk meeting holding a Bible, quoting verses, even maybe preaching a sermon because he said don't marvel because even his ministers can manifest themselves as ministers of righteousness. So he's trying to tell teach the church of Corinth about how to not be not deceived. Don't be deceived. And Jesus started out Matthew 24 the same way. Take heed that no man deceive you. He said there'd be false Christs, false prophets. When they come to you, they're not gonna be like the devil horns and all that, you know, because you'd see them. They're gonna be all polished and look like a Christian, you know, whatever a Christian's supposed to look like. So it's amazing how all of the influencers, the Hollywood people, the politicians, everybody all of a sudden is a Christian in America. So you gotta you gotta look at that and say, you know, I think they're getting close to a one world religion. Now this one world religious system, this apostate Christian system, it works hard for three and a half years, the first three and a half years of the tribulation period. And killing the martyrs. When we see the the martyrs beneath the throne here in chapter six and seven, it's the ecclesial Babylon of chapter 17 that's killing them on behalf of the false prophet who's the second, you know, the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, right? And the Holy Spirit bears witness of the Son So the false prophet bears witness of the AC. And if the people don't receive his mark, you know, if they don't do what he says, then it's off with their heads. Right? It's the ecclesiastical Babylon that does that. And then the second half of the tribulation period is a full blown Luciferian. So you have a false apostate Christianity for three and a half years, and we're watching some of it maybe starting to come together with anything goes, this ecumenical one world religious system that's trying to break out. Everybody wants to be one now. And and that that influences everybody else to jump on board. Hey. This is cool. Let's all jump on board. Let's all be Jimmy Carter Barniganers, you know, and the peanut guy. And there was a time, and you guys don't know that, when Kathy and I first became Christians, the president of The United States, Jimmy Carter, actually used the phrase, I'm a born again Christian. And then later when George W. Bush, he was a a reformed alcoholic, and he too was a born again Christian. So if you want the evangelical vote, if you want the evangelical block of voters in America to vote for you, you gotta posture yourself as I mean, even even Clinton said that he got saved at a Billy Graham. A Billy Graham evangelistic is a you know, thing. Clinton could be seen carrying a bible. You know? Monica Lewinsky on one side and a bible on the other. You know? I mean, come on. These guys are are we ever gonna get it? Are we ever gonna get it? How stupid we are as the church. We are the most stupid people on the planet, and these guys play us. They're constantly playing us, and the whole world's gonna be played when this guy comes in riding this white horse. Because he government governs by the consent of the people at first, and then later, they'll start using the, as Mao said, the barrel of the gun. But this guy's gonna have the consent of the people. They're gonna like him. And and he's not posturing himself as a murderer. He's posturing himself peace and security, safety, safety. And it's so frustrating when your eyes are open, when you know the trick, when you know the jig, when you know, you know, it's so frustrating to watch people be so incredibly deceived. And so this guy's the epitome of a pretender, of a phony, and he's very successful with what he's doing. The devil's helping him and God is allowing this to take place. Now remember also that this happens very quickly. This is just seven years. Kathy and I were driving over here and we go, I can't believe we lived at Britney's house for ten years already. That's where'd the time go? That happened so quick. Well, the tribulation period is just seven years. That's it. But it's a cataclysmic time that Jesus said the world's never seen nor will ever see again. He says, and when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, come. And so you're gonna you all heard this when Clint Eastwood Pale Rider, you know, the four horses of the apocalypse. The apocalypse is the book of Revelation, the unveiling of Jesus Christ. But these four horses, these seals that open up, it's brutal upon the earth. And and some people try to say, oh, the first part of the tribulation's a time of peace, prosperity. I don't see peace and prosperity right here. Yeah. You know? Watch what happens here. And he had opened the second seal and I heard the second living creature say, come. And there went out another horse that was red and power power was given to him that sat upon it to take peace from the earth. So you're gonna take peace from the earth. You come in with the mantra, with the slogan, make America great, peace and safety. Peace and safety. Peace and safety. I won a Nobel Peace Prize. I won a Nobel Peace Prize. So take peace from the earth, that they should kill one another. And so kill is basically slaughter, and Satan is given power. This is his hour. And there's four different aspects of this killing, this slaughter, the seals open. Ezekiel fourteen nine fourteen nineteen. It's by the sword, by famine, by wild beasts, and pestilence. After a time of famine, there's no food, the beasts start looking to you as food. Right? They're gonna come in out of the rural areas, and they're gonna be looking for something to eat. Right? And and when you think in terms of wild beasts and you think in terms of pestilence, you can't forget fleas. You can't forget biological problems, little tiny little amoebas and stuff. It's not just bears trying to kill you or lions, tigers, bears. The black plague was from the fleas off of the rats, you know, that spread the sickness. And so the Jewish homes that said didn't weren't susceptible to this because they had greater hygienic, greater hygiene. The washing your hands comes from Judaism, you know, the washing and discovering these little tiny tiny living things that can kill enormous amounts of people with biologic, and that's the other thing, the biological weapons they're going to bring. So there was given unto him a great sword and so the sword of destruction, the sword of war, the sword of killing, And so this is one of the ways that we're gonna see the population reduced. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, come and behold and lo a black horse. And so we've got the white horse with the AC on it, we got the red horse of war, now the seal's open, now we got the black horse. And he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. Now, balances can be symbolic of justice but it also can be a token or a picture as long as we look at the next verses of weighing everything. Food's going to be so sourced, so scarcity that you're going to need to measure. You're going to need to weigh stuff. So, sometimes this time of year when we try to do a diets, they'll tell you you need one gram of protein per whatever, you know. So you gotta buy one of these little scales and you gotta start to weigh everything that you eat, the chicken, the all of it, you know. And that's that's so you can be in that zone of whether you're building or or cutting. And so a lot of the the people in the gym do that kind of stuff. I like when someone says, hey. I've got a diet that you don't need to count calories. I like that kind of diet. And I don't like the counting of calories having to weigh everything. They're choking on that one. My favorite diet my favorite lifestyle is beast, feast, and fast. So you beast by working out, then you come home and you feast, and then you don't eat again till the next day. So that's a that's a good way to get started. Beast, feast, and fast. Alright. So black horse. And he that sat on him and had a pair of balances in his hand and I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures say, a measure of wheat for a denarius and three measures of barley for a denarius. And see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. I can hear Elon Musk and Joe Rogan saying, you're gonna get a universal basic high income. Right? You're not gonna have to work anymore. They're selling they're selling the reset the financial reset and the robotics and the data centers he's building near Memphis, Tennessee where there's no water for anybody, no energy for anybody because these data centers are gonna need all the water to cool the the equipment, the computers, and and the electricity and all. But we don't need you guys as workers anymore because we're bringing in robotics and the savings we're gonna pass on to you. The same way we passed on the savings of the tariffs. Aren't you guys realizing the saving of the tariffs? Your food's not going up. You're not paying higher prices. Mean, guy, China, they they feel like they they can't move. So when they bring stuff to Amazon or stuff still coming in, they're not passing on those tariffs to you, are they? It's a hidden tax. Sounds so good, doesn't it? Hyperinflation is what's is what's taking place. And so a measure of wheat for a denarius and three measures of barley. So barley is the food that the animals would eat. And so denarius represents day's a wages. So the the price has has inflated 12 times. 12 times greater pricing has taken place. So this is hyperinflation which has taken place for people. So people are, and I hate to I hate to say this, but my grandma, she she lived on hardly anything food wise. So she'd she'd go to the dollar store and she'd buy food there at the dollar store. And if you buy it there, I'm not trying to say anything's wrong with that. My daughter, Britney, when she was at the Bible College, she supplemented her income by going behind Trader Joe's to the dumpster, you know, so dumpster diving. And they got a lot of food from dumpster diving. People do that. People get good food that way, and they live and they can subsist. But you wanna try and and she said a lot of times big SUVs in the Temecula Myriad era would come in there, people with homes and the whole thing, and they're dumpster diving too. And the only time I was kinda alarmed about it was when I heard she was getting some sushi from there. I thought, well, there's a shelf life to that. But but they're crazy kids. Alright? So so my grandma would go to the dollar store, and toward the end of her life, if she invited you over for dinner, man, none of the family members would accept that invitation. They'd bring their own food because you'd get sick. People get sick, and you don't know of how many times she's reheated that food in the microwave, and they don't throw nothing away. So my grandma knew from a depression era and grandpa dying, being on a fixed income, Even though her house was paid for, she would stretch her food, you know, budget and all. So the folks here, they're working a whole day just to get some barley, just to get, let's call it, a loaf of bread. A whole day of hard work, and they're cursing Elon. You said I'd you said I'd have a universal basic high income. You know? And I and Klaus Schwab said that I'd own nothing and be happy. I'm not very happy right now. The famine has taken place, scarcity for a denarius, and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. Now all you have to give up to enter into this utopian golden age, all you have to give up is the freedom of your dollar bill. That's all they want from you. So they gotta present something better, something that you would certainly let go of your dollars. You know? And they gotta convince you that dollars are used by druggies, and dollars are bad. You know? And so they gotta demonize it. And it's an old system. We're gonna bring in a new system. And the only way that new system works is with a digital ID for every single person. But there's also too many people on the planet, so we've got to do eugenics, Malthusian eugenesis that Bill Gates, he and his parents were privy to. And so his dad was at one point in charge of Planned Parenthood and his mother very much involved. So the topic at table was is we're just useless eaters and we need to get this population down and we can make mosquitoes that deliver diseases and we can make synthetic foods. Can you see where his synthetic food would finally take off? When there is no real food available and people are desperate, now they're eating crickets, now they're eating his synthetic factory made food. Right now, it's not taking off. It's not working because we still have too much food to to choose from. But you could see where where this would happen. Now notice it says, can see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. What's the oil and the wine represent? The elites. The elites. They've got they've got huge wines. What do you call them? Cellars. You know? Hundreds and hundreds of dollars of wine. Right? And they've got the oil and honey and all the good stuff. And and we've been talking about this, and we'll see it at the last few verses in this chapter. They've got bunkers already ready to go. They got major bunkers ready to go with all the luxuries. Most of the time when you hear there's a call, a recall on peanut butter, No. They're just taking all the peanut butter to their bunkers. All the Costco peanut butter. Call them and they'll deliver it to us. There's guys that do survival food. Sometimes they get that call. They get the call that we're buying up all that you have stored, and they can't sell it to John PQ public at that moment because somebody just bought every all their stock to go and put it in these bunkers. So you have what's called dumps, deep underground military bunkers. You have places like Mount Weather and other places in America where semi trucks can go underground, huge type city areas to store this food that they're storing up for when they go underground because what do they know is coming? War, famine, pestilence, and they're planting it because there's too many useless eaters. So the Georgia Guidestones for these globalists, the ideal population number is half a billion people, 500,000,000. Got 8,000,000,000 people on the planet. They don't need people anymore. They only need half a billion to serve them. So they have a god complex. We need you know, if we wanna go skiing at Aspen, you know, we need someone to work on the lifts and smooth the snow, and we need some people to cook or to whatever, you know. The the robots can't do it all, you know. And so they'll keep a few around as slaves, but the oil and the wine. Now another commentator said the oil and the wine might represent medicine. It might represent pharma. That even though pharmacy. Pharmakia, medicine. But I I lean toward more of the luxuries, the oil and the wine represent the luxuries because of what comes next. It could be both. Could be both, buddy, because we know there's gonna be pharmakia, but it's not really a well, pharmakia, the sorcery that's gonna be in here in the book of Revelation. The big pharma's gonna sell a lot of drugs during the tribulation period. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, come. And and I looked and behold a pale horse. Clint Eastwood was on it. Right? Pale rider. And his name that sat on him was death and Hades. Man, that's that's chilling. Followed him. Death and hell followed him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth. 2,000,000,000 people. And then a little while, we're gonna see it again, another third. So you take 2,000,000,000 out, you got 6,000,000,000 left, and then another third is taken. That's another 2,000,000,000, which means half the population gone in less than seven years. You wanna get rich in the tribulation period? Find a way to incinerate those bodies. Go in the like Christia, go in the dead guy business. You're gonna be so busy with these dead guys. Because remember, bodies have to be put away properly or as they corrupt, it creates more and more disease. More and more disease. So it's not a laughing matter. And giving them over to the fourth part of the earth to kill with the sword, with hunger, with death, and with the beasts of the earth. So the animals, the beasts of the earth could be fleas, could be biological, you're gonna see famine, you're gonna see pestilence. They're gonna Bill Gates is already telling us, hey. We got another one coming. It's worse than the others. You know? And so they're gonna unleash. Now these are men doing it according to Revelation 13 or seventeen seventeen. God's put in the hearts of men to suicide everything, to do according to his will. And so it's God allowing with the restrainer removed, there's no decency anymore. And with the restrainer, the Holy Spirit pulling back a bit because you as salt and light, you're to preserve the culture from putrefugation, from corruption. But now the corruption is increased. The love of many is growing cold. Iniquity is abounding. The lawless one is in charge. And, man, it's hell on earth. And so and and with all of that, now you're a Christian, and you're just looking up. You're rejoicing cause the earth is not your home. Finally, you can get Christians to let go of the world. Finally, you can finally get and I'll call them saints because the church, if we call the church Christians, we're raptured. But the saints, the tribulation saints, do you think they're gonna hold off and say, oh, no. I like this world. No way. I like this. And you think they're gonna say, you know, I don't wanna go to a church that teaches prophecy. I don't wanna hear about the doom and gloom anymore. I wanna find a church where where, you know, we can take the mark of the beast and where we can, you know, worship the image of the beast and all. And I wanna I wanna go to a church where we can live forever. And there'll be people like that totally wimped out, but there's a whole innumerable multitude of people. A 144,000 are sharing the gospel. The two witnesses are sharing the gospel. Angel overhead sharing the glorious gospel, and the people are willing. They're they're trying to get the front of the line to lose their heads because to be asked from the body means no more suffering Mhmm. To be present with the Lord. They look at heaven far different than we do. We look at heaven as, oh, way down in the future. Mhmm. This chemo is gonna work. No. No. Got something that'll work. I can live ten more years. And the person that truly understands heaven is ready to go right now. Right? We're ready to go, especially in a time of suffering. Yeah. And I heard something recently that really blessed me. As all this is happening, all this suffering that's taken place, what's the devil what's the devil hoping Job will do as he's afflicting suffering upon Job. What's the devil hoping the people on this planet will do as they suffer? Curse curse god. Curse god. Sin. That woman. Curse god and die in sin. That woman was a girl. That people won't want to honor god. You look at Job, did Job sin with his lips? You know, sometimes you can be going through something. You say, ah, what's the use? If this is what I get trying to serve the Lord, you know, look at Job. God's bragging on him, perfecting upright in all of his ways, man. Fears God, skews evil. You know? Well, take away his stuff and he'll curse you to your face. He'll sin against you. Take away his health. Take away his health. And so I think about that. When you're going through suffering, remember, you can glorify the Lord by still desiring to walk in holiness. Don't let the devil say in your mind, oh, what's the use? Just indulge your flesh. Indulge your flesh. Live your best life now. No. Don't do it. Glorify the Lord. Take the hit. And death and the beasts on the earth, the fourth part, are dead. Now we got the fifth seal, the martyred remnant. And when he had opened the fifth seal, this is the martyrs, I saw under the altar the souls asked them the body be present with the Lord. Their souls went right there. Of them that were slain. Now this is not the church. These are tribulation saints. I'm gonna ask you a question. Four types of saints. What are the four types of saints? There we go. That's it. So when you study prophecy and you study the book of Revelation, Matthew 24, you're not gonna make the mistake of lumping all the saints together. Right? You're not gonna make the mistake of lumping the church with the tribulation saints or the church with Israel. You have to understand the distinctions based upon the context when you're reading. Right? But if you don't study, if you don't make those distinctions, your interpretation can be way off base. Right? Oh look, the church is here. No, the church isn't there. The church isn't subject under God's wrath. The church has been raptured. It's with Jesus. But these are tribulation saints. And the other thing is we keep hearing about revival. I bet you there's a revival in Iran right now and Venezuela. People revive, people feeling alive, people thanking Jesus and all. And but the Bible says before the Lord, before the rapture, there's gonna be a great apostasy of falling away from the faith, a Laodicean church, a lukewarm church. But here in the tribulation period, it's revival time. Greatest revival, you know, since Jonah. It's happening right now, right here. I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God and for the testimony. So they're slain for the word of God. The devil hates the word of God. And in chapter 12, says, and for their testimony. So in chapter 12, they overcame in by what? By the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony. And what third thing, Thomas, you keep forgetting. There you go. That ties in with these martyrs. They were willing to lose their heads. Revelation 20 verse four, they died by refusing the mark of the beast and they were beheaded. And and I don't I I don't lean toward people saying, oh, that means that means the one the church, you know, the religious system, the one world religious system during the tribulation period is Muslim because the Muslim form of capital punishment is beheading people. Well, beheading has been around far before they came around, you know, and the Catholic church is fully capable of beheading people. And when you have a mixture a mixture of different religious groups together as one world religion, it it doesn't mean that everybody else is gonna submit to Islam. So don't try to connect that. Remember during the Obama administration, they were it was said that they were buying a lot of guillotines, and they're spread all over America in different military bases and stuff. I don't know if that's true, but that was the buzz going on. And so I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God. I know that if you and I are men and women of the word, the devil's gonna hate us. We're a threat to the kingdom of darkness. Jesus is the incarnate word. It speaks of the truth. You stand for truth. You stand for the word of God. And if you stand for the word of God, you're not gonna tolerate the antichrist lies, the propaganda. You're gonna be one that exposes them. You're gonna be one that speaks up. And when you speak up, they're gonna come to your house and grab you and take you away. Amen. They're doing that in The UK right now. And for the testimony, which they held. And so they're being rooted on. They're being encouraged by the two witnesses. The two witnesses that the Antichrist can't touch. And they're in Jerusalem and they're testifying the truth and they're encouraged by the 144,000 that we're gonna see in chapter seven who are sealed and they're evangelists all over the place you know so they're encouraged they're emboldened by these guys and don't take that mark Don't take that mark on your right hand of your forehead, you know, and receive Christ. Today's the day of salvation. For so for the word of God, for the testimony which they held. And so you could could be like Polycarp and you could say, hey, the in six years I've served the Lord and he's never let me down. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna blaspheme now. So the testimony they hold, like when we watched the the Left Behind series or the Thief in the Night, you know, when they bring you I mean, they meet you at church in these movies. They're they're gonna find you at church. They're gonna have pastors that are helping turn you in to to get your mark. And and so your testimony is you preach Christ, and they they'll let you live if you'll if you'll recant. So let's say you're in Africa right now, and the Islam guys come in, and they want you to say, and you're a Christian, you say, no. I will not say. Allah is not God. Jesus is God. There's one God, three persons, father, son, holy spirit. I won't do that. That's your testimony, and your testimony might get you killed, but that's okay. It's better don't fear him who can kill the body, Jesus said, but fear him who can not only kill your body but cast your soul into hell. Speaking of God, fear God more than you do men, because all they're doing is letting you move out of that body in your new glorified body. Ask them the body be present with the Lord immediately. So no going to purgatory, no going to Sheol, Hades, that's been emptied out. This day you'll be with me in paradise, Jesus told the thief on the cross. You'll be right there. The testimony which they held and they cried with a loud voice saying, how long, oh lord? So, now they're the martyrs are speaking to Jesus and they want Jesus. They want the lord to bring vengeance to get these bad people. How long, oh lord, holy and true. Doest thou not judge and avenge our blood? Remember how we talked about one of the reasons for the tribulation period was the end of wickedness? Jesus is king of kings and lord of lords. He's coming back in chapter 19 when we read with a two handed sword. Executioners, he's vengeance is mine. I'll repay, saith the lord. So when he comes back, he's and everybody all throughout history, all the wicked dead are gonna be bodily raised from the dead in Revelation chapter 20 and stand at the great white throne judgment and give an account of what they did while they're in their body whether good or bad. And a friend of mine was texting me and asking me, do you think there'd be bleachers there? And and I said, well, I I think if it's me, I'm gonna be there with a Z Boy chair and a channel changer and a and some pizza. You know? That's that's my role. And I'd like to pause it and rewind it. Let me hear that again. Pause it. Rewind it. Pause it. Rewind it. And like Vicky, have a hard time keeping up with me. That's right. And I want it to be a show. And by the end of this chapter, you already see that these guys are big wussies. The the tribulation saints are courageous, faithful, salt of the earth type people. See, see innumerable. A CIA agent recently I watched said, the only people they can't control are Christians. Amen. Everyone else they can lie to, they can buy them off, they can bribe them, they can brainwash them, But when it comes to Christians, they they haven't figured out how to do that with them. Yeah. Because you and I, we're ready to die already. We're dead men walking. Yeah. So it's it's a nonnegotiable. So we show VeggieTales, and we show Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Oh, king Nebbe, we're not careful how we answer you. It's a nonnegotiable. And same with John the Baptist. Lost his head, but but with the Lord. So Rick? Yes, sir. CIA means Christians in action. You heard that before. Right? I just now heard it. Okay. Praise the Lord. Alphabet groups. We're part of that what was it? Alphabet. Three letter alphabet groups. Right. Right. Okay. Alright. So thank you, Thomas. For the testimony which they held and they cried with a loud voice saying, how long, oh lord, holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? So if I watch my daughter hauled away and raped and mistreated, then my grandkids hauled away and mistreated, man, I can't wait till the lord judges these guys, avenges them. You know? It's easy for you and I individually, but, man, we got a responsibility to protect those we love and god holds us accountable. So, I'd encourage you to go and read Fox's Book of Martyrs and read of the different periods of history, the way Christians have been treated, and the different types of torture that the Catholic church and and the the apostate religious people, how they would abduct people with Bibles. The biggest crime is you got a Bible, and they're you're you're circumventing their power that you don't own a Bible. You know? You can't have a Bible because you might start to be a free thinker, you know, and we can't control you. And they come in and just slaughter slaughter old families. Waldenses, they they send in armies, religious armies that came in in in in the Austrian area of Austria and wiped out over 20,000 of these Christians simply because they had the bible. And the bible that they had was the Texas Receptus where they'd take pieces of it and spread it to each other and all. And and so but at Fox's Book of Martyrs, wicked, wicked men, the things they would do. And one of them that caught my attention was one of the little boys got his the torture guy scalped him, took his like, you know, cowboys and Indians, scalped him. And his mother said, Jesus has a crown for you. Amen. You know? And so, anyway, it's pretty amazing when you read the account of the Coliseums and the Christians going in as amusement for the people of Rome and other places. And pretty soon they their blood lust waned and they the Christians would sing when they'd send these wild beasts in. They'd send wild beasts in to devour them in all sorts of ways they could advise to hurt people and kill people and all that. And pretty soon, the Christians, such a great witness of singing and worshiping the Lord, that they it wasn't it wasn't so much fun for them anymore, and they didn't do that. They stopped the Paul uses the word to Corinth, a spectacle, or theotron is is the word. So we are a spectacle. The whole world's watching. The angels are watching, and it's that picture of being in the in the theater, in the Colosseum, the whole world watching as we as we go through suffering and and as we honor the Lord. So avenge the blood on them that dwell on the earth. And white robes, speaking of salvation, were given unto every one of them. So you follow the white robe over to chapter seven over here and let's see here, chapter seven verse 14, great tribulation and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb. Right? Okay. So they've got white robes that have been washed in the blood of the lamb. It's under every one of them speaks of salvation. It was said unto them that they should rest yet for a little season. And so they're wanting vengeance right now beginning of the tribulation period, but there's a whole lot of other witnesses that are coming. It's not full yet. And we and right now in the church age, we'd love for the rapture to take place, but the lord says, hey. Chill. I'm long suffering, not willing that any would perish that all would come to repentance. So the purpose of my delay is that more would get saved. Right? And so you guys just rest. It's not that there are gonna be more war martyrs. There's gonna be more believers. So allow some more time before I avenge. I'm gonna avenge at the end. See, I'm coming back and I'm gonna avenge at Armageddon. Right? So it's not Armageddon yet. So just chill, just wait, just rest because I'm coming. Right? But we wanna we wanna we wanna reach more people during the tribulation period in this revival. So you guys need to rest and for a little season until their fellow servants also and their brethren that should be killed as they were should be fulfilled. So a totally different different gospel during the tribulation period. I mean the gospel is the same, salvation by grace through faith alone in Jesus Christ, but different in the sense of you're not gonna have your best life now, which is a lie. Right? And so when the gospel's presented to these guys, you might die. You might be able to evade the authorities and somehow get underneath the radar of the technology and go into the millennium as a millennial saint, not having lost your head, but chances are the drones that are flying over and all the surveillance and everything that's going on, chances are you're gonna get caught and you're going to lose your head. Do you really want to serve Jesus in that way? And the real test is going to be the moment that your enemy gives you to take the mark. So all the way up until the point in time of refusing the mark you still could give into that right you could say hey I believe just like in Matthew seven Lord Lord did we not prophesy in your name did we not cast out demons in your name did we not do many wonderful things they're thinking they're saved they they think being religious means they're saved and Jesus said away from me I never knew you that practice iniquity and so a whole lot of people think they're safe right now which we don't know till you don't know what flavor they are till they're put in hot water. Right? How are they gonna respond? And the rest for a little season until their fellow servants also and their brethren that should be killed as they were should be fulfilled. So the tribulation martyrs along with the two witnesses. And the sixth seals can be anarchy. People are gonna go crazy. They're gonna they're gonna be like this isn't what I signed up for. I was supposed to have a universal basic high income. I was supposed to be able to stay in my apartment in a fifteen minute city and find food within just within fifteen minutes. I should be able to have a drone bring me food and medicine, whatever I need, medical, all of it. And I should be able to game all day, all day, watch football if I want, all day. And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and lo, there was a great earthquake. So here we go. God's can you hear me now? Huge earthquakes. And and the sun became black. So here's your first blackout. That means there's no water flowing, the electricity shut off, everything's shaking, everything's crumbling. You don't wanna be in a city, stack and pack city when that happens. And it became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood, blood moon. So you not only have earthquakes, got volcanoes, you got smoke, and the smoke when it when it filters through with the sun, it causes the moon to look red. And Joel two ten and eleven, and the stars of heaven fell under the earth. And right now, a lot of people are talking about this star that's gonna hit the earth, asteroid. Something's coming our way, and I don't pay attention to it. Why is that? There's nothing I could do about it. Let it hit right on top of my head. I don't care. I'm not gonna run around. The sky is falling. The sky is falling. How am I gonna prepare for that? I hope it hits banger. If Russia gets mad, hit banger with a nuke. I don't care. I'll go home to be with Jesus. I don't have time to worry about that kind of stuff. You know? So, I mean, what what am I gonna do? Stop it by telling the people? I'm sure somebody's gonna wanna be a rocketeer and go up there and get that thing and make a movie about it. We can it's it's a extinction level event. They call them extinction level. Are you willing to go up there? Yeah. I'll go up there. I'll blow it up. So the stars of heaven fell under the earth even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs. So, I mean, we're when we get into chapter nine, there's demons that are gonna be released. There's 100 pound hail bombs coming down. I mean, I wouldn't wanna be in my Tesla when a 100 pound hail bomb's coming down. You know? And crushed. So you can see why these guys wanna go underground, don't you? Yeah. If all that's happened above ground, mighty mighty wind coming and if the wind blows out where we live, man, we know that tree branches are gonna hit us. We know that the power is gonna be shut off. We we just know as soon as that wind starts going, it's like, oh, that's not good. That's not good. And we get power outages all the time. But but God is good. They're only short short little lived ones right now. They're gonna be big, long extended blackouts. And how can anybody survive a cyber attack when the Internet goes out? Our culture is so dependent upon the Internet. What are we gonna do if the Internet goes out for a week? We might have to read our Bibles. That's what I was thinking. Yeah. Yeah. Right, buddy. So who wants to read Zephaniah one fourteen and sixteen? Debbie's real quick. I got another one, a longer one. Isaiah thirty four one through eight. And somebody else can read Joel two ten and eleven. I'll take it. Joel, you get the red moons, Joel two, ten, 11. Earthquakes, stars. So now you got cataclysmic events. How many of these things, you know, are God? That's an act of God, the insurance company said. And how much of these events are a result of man meddling playing God? The geoengineering that's taking place, you know, right now. All the spraying and tectonic plates manipulating the weather all the way back to the nut job that replaced Kennedy boasting about controlling the weather, Lyndon Maines Johnson. Alright. So Vicky first, Joel two, ten, 11. I'll take a drink. So all the way back in Joel describing what's gonna take place in the tribulation period. This is prophecy. Somebody else have Zephaniah? Anybody there? Zephaniah one fourteen through 16? Do it. Okay. Debbie's gonna do that. And then Isaiah thirty four one through eight. Who has that? That's about that. Okay. You have to come in here to read it because want that on a microphone. Alright. Miss Vicky, Joel, two, ten, and 11. Joel, two, ten, 11. Before then, the earth shakes and the heavens tremble and the sun and the moon are darkened and the stars no longer shine. The Lord thunders at the head of his army. His forces are beyond number and mighty is the army that obeys his command. The day of the Lord is great. The day of the Lord. When I hear thunder and lightning, just basic thunder and lightning, it it gets my attention. It's pretty it's pretty scary. Right. But we're talking serious thunder, lightning, earthquakes, volcanoes, the Cascadia Ridge. When it goes, man, when Mount Rainier blows off and Mount Saint Helens does it again and big brother, man, it's gonna be crazy here. And tsunamis, oh, man. I'm gonna drive down the tsunami route. Alright. Zephaniah one fourteen through 16. And the great day of the Lord is near, it is near and hasteth greatly. Even the voice of the day of the Lord, the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day is the day of wrath, a day of trouble, a a distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, day of clouds and thick darkness, the day of the trumpet, the and alarm against the fenced cities and against the high towers. So this life right now, this is the best it will ever be for the earth dwellers. It's the worst it'll ever be for us. The best is yet to come for us. Alright. Isaiah thirty four one through eight. Come near, ye nations, to hear and hearken you people. Let the earth hear and all that is therein. The world and all things that come forth of it. For the indignation of the Lord is upon all nations and his hearing upon all their armies. He has utterly destroyed them. He has delivered them to the slaughter. Their slain also shall be cast out and their stink shall come up out of their carcasses and the mountains shall be melted with their blood. And all the hosts of heaven shall be dissolved and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll And all their hosts shall fall down. As the leaf falleth off from the vine. And as a falling fig from the fig tree. For my sword shall be bathed in heaven. Behold it shall come down upon I do me a. Do. I do me a. And upon the people of my curse to judgement. The sword of the Lord is filled with blood. It is made fat with fatness and with the blood of lambs and goats with the fat of the kidneys of rams for the Lord hath sacrificed in Bozrah And a great slaughter in the land of Domia. And the unicorn shall come down with them. And the bullocks with the bulls. And their land shall be soaked with blood and their dust made fat with fatness. For it is the day of the Lord's vengeance. And the year of recompense for the controversy of Zion. And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch. And the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch. It shall not be quenched night nor day. The smoke thereof shall go up forever. From generation to generation, it shall lie waste. None shall pass through it forever and ever. Praise the Lord. So that has not happened yet. It did not happen in seventy AD. A lot of the people that are replacement theology or preterist means it was in the past, that prophecy has never happened before. It's looking future to the day of the Lord. Culminating with the return of Jesus in the area of Idumea. Idumea is the Edomites. Herod the Great was Idumea, that's why he wasn't received by the Jews. So the area of Edom is Petra, and he'd mentioned Basra there. So culminating with the return of Jesus, in addition to all these cataclysmic events in earth and the sky and the whole thing culminating with him returning. Remember he said, except those days be short, no flesh should be saved. But for the elect's sake, for the nation of Israel, the Lord Jesus intervenes. And so, alright, that was great. Okay, so this anarchy, watch watch what happens here and I got two other verses that we're gonna finish up with. Who wants Romans five one and two? Romans one, five one and two. Five one and two? Just I just want somebody ready. And first Thessalonians five verse nine. Okay. You ready? And how about first Thessalonians one verse 10 too? Who wants that? Okay. So do I have somebody who's got Romans five one and two? I got Romans one five one and Alright. You got it. Getting there. And then Debbie's got One ten. One ten and who wants first Thessalonians five verse nine? Romans five one and two. Bernie. Ready? No. No. We're not ready. Okay. Choke on it. Just wait. Alright. 51. Alright. We'll get there. Okay. So, pay attention, Thomas. So and the heavens departed as a scroll. So rolling it back, rolling back the heavens when it is rolled together and every mountain and island removed out of their places. So if in the millennium, I want to have Hawaii and all the mountains and all the islands are not there anymore, where are we gonna find a beach, Lord? He's gonna have to re redo it a little bit. Right? So he's gonna remove the mountains and the islands are moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth and the great men so we can name a few names. Right? We know some of them. And the kings of the earth and the great men and the rich men and the chief captains and the mighty men and every slave and every free man, so that's more like us except we're we're the saints of the most high God hid themselves. So they're gonna hide. They're gonna hide from what's happening. Where are you gonna hide? Now Zuckerberg is building a big underground bunker in in Hawaii right now. Bunker building, building bunker for rich people is a huge business right now. They're anticipating having to go underground because of the wars and the anarchy, the chaos that's gonna come on the surface when your Social Security doesn't work anymore, when your pension's been stolen, when you don't have food. They're going underground. And then they're gonna come back up once all of us killed each other. And but that's just a prelude to the tribulation period when they go underground again. Alright? And the kings of the earth and the great men and the rich men and the chief captains and the mighty men. I mean we're talking the guys that think they're superheroes, the warriors, the guys that they're not afraid of nothing. I'm a part of the Department of War, man. And every slave and every free man hid themselves in the dens, in the rocks of the mountains. And as I said, you can do a a study. Mount Weather, there's other mountains that have deep underground bunkers where the tunneling the tunneling ability is is just huge, where governments are prepared to go underground, the continuity of government. I've been told that the the airport that was built ten years ago in in Colorado, that it's got a huge underground, George knows. And so and they've got all kinds of pictures on the walls at that one of the tribulation period of the one world government, all the children and all, the UN kind of envisioning. So they're letting you know. They're they're they're wanting it to to be unleashed. And so Denzen and the rocks of the mountains and I kind of asked the question, I wonder what would happen to the submariners, you know, maybe they're maybe they're safe way down there, you know, and said to the mountains and the rocks fall on us. So, they want an end and they said to the mountains and the rocks, fallen us and hide us from the face of him that sits on the throne and from the wrath of the lamb. So, from god the father and from the wrath of the lamb. Now unbelievers know who's doing this. Yeah. Yeah. There's no atheists and foxholes, right? Right. That's what they say. So it's the unbelievers. They know that it's God's wrath. What did they read? They read this chapter? Do they read the bible? Do they know? Peter Thiel has done four lectures on the Antichrist. Peter Thiel's the guy that started PayPal with Elon Musk and Alex Carr, the one with Palantir, all the technology and he's he's developing their surveillance system for the beast system and then he wants to go around talking to people saying the AI system we're building can actually keep the Antichrist from coming. And so he goes and he talks about the Antichrist, you know. These guys are crazy nuts and so fallen us and hide us from the face. What why don't they wanna see the face of God? The face. Yeah. They're guilty. They they wanna hide from his face, man. No man can see my face and live. That's right. And now in my in my head, I'm thinking of Raiders of the Lost Ark and that melting them, you know, when they don't look at it. Don't look at it. You know, the kind of glory of God? That was just angels there, but they were trying to hide their face and and fall on us and hide us from the face of him that sits on the throne and from the wrath of the lamb. There's no escape. No escape. There's I mean, they want a surveillance system because the devil's a counterfeit trinity, a counterfeit god, if you will, but the devil's not omniscient, so he needs a surveillance system. Right? He needs a databases everywhere to collect data. Well, the Lord knows every hair on her head. He knows everything about these guys. There's no place to hide from God. You can't hide. You can run but you can't hide. They say that sits upon the throne and from the wrath of the lamb. No escape. For the great day of his wrath has come and who shall be able to stand? Who shall be able to stand? So who's got Romans five one and two? I do. Go ahead. I wanna be bible bullet ready. Anyway, therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom also we have access by faith into the grace wherein we stand. Who's able to stand? Who's able to stand? Not sit, but stand and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. K. So who's able to stand? Thomas just answered the question. Those who've been justified by Jesus Christ because of his grace by faith in him. Those who were saved. And first Thessalonians five verse nine. Who's able to stand? Who's able to not suffer the wrath of the lamb being poured out? Five nine? Yep. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain
