Caption transcript for The Dark Prince: “Deceit, Betrayal, and Coming Miseries” (5/10)

• 00:37 HOW YOU HAVE FALLEN FROM HEAVEN LUCIFER, SON OF THE MORNING,
• 00:41 YOU SHALL BE BROUGHT DOWN TO HELL TO THE DEPTHS OF THE PIT
• 00:46 AND ALL WHO GAZE UPON YOU WILL WONDER,
• 00:49 "IS THIS THE MAN THAT MADE THE NATIONS TREMBLE?"
• 00:58 WHEN THE DEVIL HAS HIS DAY
• 01:04 A HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU.
• 01:06 JEFFREY SEIF HERE WITH ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
• 01:09 AND I AM THRILLED THAT YOU HAVE TUNED US IN.
• 01:12 TODAY WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THE DEVIL IN THIS SERIES WHEN THE DEVIL HAS HIS DAY.
• 01:17 WE'RE NOT TRYING TO BE HIS PR PEOPLE BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT THE BIBLE.
• 01:20 WE NOTE BY THE WAY THAT THE DEVIL STRUCK IN EDEN, HE STRUCK IN GETHSEMANE;
• 01:25 HE HAS A THING FOR GARDENS.
• 01:27 WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THAT STORY TODAY IN THIS SERIES
• 01:29 AND WE'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM OUR FRIEND PAUL WILBUR AGAIN AS HE LIFTS OUR HEARTS IN PRAISE.
• 01:42 AND WITH JUDAS CAME A CROWD ARMED WITH SWORDS AND CLUBS.
• 01:48 NOW THE BETRAYER HAD ARRANGED A SIGNAL.
• 01:50 "THE ONE I KISS IS THE MAN."
• 01:53 (DEVIL LAUGHING)
• 01:54 "ARREST HIM AND LEAD HIM AWAY UNDER GUARD."
• 02:00 THE BETRAYER, THE SPIRIT OF THE ANTI-CHRIST LINGERING IN SHADOWS
• 02:05 YET TODAY REVELS BUT FOR A SEASON.
• 02:09 (DEVIL LAUGHING)
• 02:14 WHEN INDIVIDUALS READ THE NEW TESTAMENT
• 02:16 THEY'RE INTRODUCED TO A NUMBER OF THINGS AND A NUMBER OF PEOPLE, A NUMBER OF PLACES;
• 02:20 THIS ONE BEING BUT ONE.
• 02:25 THE DECAPOLIS IS A TERM THAT NEW TESTAMENT READERS ARE INTRODUCED TO SPEAK OF 10 CITIES IN ISRAEL, GREEK CITIES.
• 02:35 AND HERE I AM COMING TO YOU FROM THE LARGEST OF THEM, BETH-SHAN,
• 02:40 A MASSIVE FACILITY HERE, A MAJOR CITY IN A NETWORK OF GREEK CITIES.
• 02:47 AND YOU CAN TELL ITS VERY GREEK BY THE WAY, IT'S VERY LATINIZED, ROMANIZED
• 02:51 AS YOU LOOK AROUND HERE IN THIS GREAT THEATRE WHERE PEOPLE WERE GIVEN TO GIVING PLAYS.
• 03:01 ACTORS ADORNED THIS STAGE TO TAKE ON ROLES THAT WERE NOT THEIR OWN BY NATURE
• 03:09 BUT WERE THEIR OWN BY ASSIGNMENT.
• 03:12 AND EVEN NOW AS I MAKE MY WAY AROUND THIS SITE
• 03:15 WORKERS ARE BUSYING THEMSELVES TO PREPARE FOR THE PLETHORA OF PILGRIMS WHO VISIT THIS PLACE
• 03:21 AND PLACES ALL AROUND ISRAEL TO THIS VERY DAY.
• 03:27 AND IT'S FROM THIS PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WERE GIVING TO ACTING.
• 03:31 I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOME OF THE WORST ACTING IN HUMAN EXPERIENCE.
• 03:37 IN THIS SERIES WE'RE LOOKING AT WHEN THE DEVIL HAD HIS DAY
• 03:41 AND THE GOSPEL WRITERS TELL US THAT THE DEVIL HAD ENTERED INTO THE PERSON OF JUDAS ISCARIOT
• 03:51 WITH THE NET RESULT THEN THAT HE WAS GIVEN OVER TO DOING THE DEVIL'S BIDDING.
• 03:57 AND WHAT DID HE DO?
• 03:59 IN LUKE CHAPTER 22 WE'RE TOLD THAT HE BETRAYED JESUS.
• 04:04 IN VERSE 3 SATAN ENTERED JUDAS
• 04:09 AND SO DRIVEN THEN THAT THIS JUDAS WENT HIS WAY
• 04:15 AND CONFERRED WITH INDIVIDUALS HOW THEY MIGHT BETRAY JESUS TO THEM.
• 04:22 WHEN WE CONSIDER THE PERSON, THE DEVIL AND HIS WORK
• 04:29 IT SEEMS TO ME THAT BETRAYAL AND DECEIT ARE SOME OF THE TOOLS IN HIS BOX
• 04:36 AND HE USES THEM OFTEN AND HE USES THEM WELL.
• 04:42 IN FACT EVEN IN MEDIEVAL EUROPE THE STORY OF DANTE'S INFERNO WAS A CLASSIC THAT SAID
• 04:48 IN THE LOWEST AND THE LOWEST, THE LOWEST PART OF HELL
• 04:51 WAS A PLACE RESERVED FOR THE LIKES OF JUDAS ISCARIOT AND THE ILK THAT BETRAYS.
• 05:00 I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU HEAR THE STORY OF JUDAS ISCARIOT
• 05:06 AND WHEN YOU HEAR THE WORD "BETRAYAL"
• 05:10 BUT I DO KNOW FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE THAT ITS BEYOND JUST MERE DISAPPOINTMENT
• 05:16 AND THAT IS IT REALLY, REALLY, REALLY HURTS
• 05:22 WHEN SOMEONE WITHIN OUR INNER WORLD PUTS A DAGGER TO OUR THROAT
• 05:28 OR WORST YET, A KNIFE IN OUR BACK,
• 05:30 WE DON'T EVEN SEE IT COMING.
• 05:33 WELL JUDAS SAW THIS COMING; HE COULD FEEL THE FERMENTING DISCONTENT WITHIN HIM.
• 05:38 COMPLICATED AS HE IS I DON'T CLAIM TO UNDERSTAND HIM.
• 05:40 JESUS SAW IT COMING
• 05:42 AND I KNOW THAT AS WE CONTINUE OUR STORY ON THIS DARK PRINCE AND CONSIDER WICKEDNESS
• 05:48 YOU'LL SEE MORE COMING AS WE LOOK AT THE DEVIL AND HIS WAYS.
• 05:57 BEHOLD A WHITE HORSE AND ITS RIDER HELD A BOW AND A CROWN WAS GIVEN UNTO HIM.
• 06:04 THIS THE IMAGE OF AN IMPENDING APOCALYPSE AS PICTURED BY JOHN IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION,
• 06:11 THIS RIDER, A PRINCELY SORT, A DECEIVER AND COUNTERFEIT.
• 06:16 AND EVIL WENT FORTH CONQUERING AND TO CONQUER.
• 06:26 I THINK THAT IF SOMEONE'S IN A SWORD FIGHT THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO KNOW IT.
• 06:30 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SWORD FIGHT AND GETTING SHOT BY AN ARROW
• 06:33 IS YOU MIGHT NOT SEE THE ARROW COMING.
• 06:36 I MENTION THAT BECAUSE IT'S LIKE WITH BETRAYAL, YOU DON'T SEE IT COMING.
• 06:40 WHEN I OPEN UP THE BIBLE I SEE SOME THINGS COMING, HOWEVER, AND THEY'RE NOT VERY GOOD LOOKING.
• 06:46 IN THE 6TH CHAPTER OF THE BOOK REVELATION WE HAVE THESE APOCALYPTIC HORSEMAN,
• 06:51 THESE HORSES ARE LET LOOSE OUT OF THE STABLE
• 06:55 AND THEY BRING WITH THEM MISERIES BEYOND COMPREHENSION AT ONE LEVEL.
• 07:00 IN CHAPTER 6, VERSE 2 THERE'S A WHITE HORSE THAT COMES
• 07:04 AND THE ARRIVAL OF THIS ONE IS TYPIFIED BY CONQUEST.
• 07:10 I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN OVERRUN, IF YOU'VE BEEN CONQUERED BEFORE,
• 07:14 BUT IT SEEMS THAT WHEN THE DEVIL HAS HIS DAY CONQUERING IS ON THE MENU.
• 07:19 SIMILARLY IN VERSES 3 AND 4
• 07:22 THIS FIERY RED HORSE COMES FORTH AND THIS ONE TAKES PEACE FROM THE EARTH IN VERSE 4
• 07:30 AND IS BENT ON STIMULATING PEOPLE TO KILL NOT JUST TO CONQUER.
• 07:36 AND WE'RE TOLD THAT GIVEN THIS RIDER IS THIS TERRIBLY GREAT SWORD
• 07:41 AND HE UNLEASHES IT FROM HIS SHEATH AND HE DOES WHAT HE DOES.
• 07:46 SIMILARLY THEN IN VERSES 5 AND 6
• 07:48 THERE'S ANOTHER HORSE THAT COMES AND THE RIDER IS HOLDING SCALES.
• 07:53 AND THE LANGUAGE HERE IS INTERESTING,
• 07:54 IT SEEMS TO HEARKEN TO AN ECONOMY GONE BAD.
• 07:58 THERE'S MENTION HERE OF FOOD STAPLES PURCHASED BY X AMOUNT OF MONEY,
• 08:05 GOING BACK TO AN ANCIENT SYSTEM IN JESUS' DAY.
• 08:08 THIS RIDER GOES FORTH AND CALLS FORTH EARNING POWER FOR VARIOUS STAPLE GOODS
• 08:15 AND AGAIN THIS REMINDS ME OF HAVING THE ECONOMY IN THE CLUTCHES IN HIS GRIPS.
• 08:21 WE'RE LOOKING HERE AT A WORLD GONE BAD.
• 08:23 WE'RE LOOKING HERE AT FORCES BEING UNLEASHED ON THE PLANET
• 08:28 AND IT REALLY IS SOMETHING TO BEHOLD.
• 08:30 QUITE FRANKLY IT'S NOT AN EASY STORY TO TELL.
• 08:33 AS I READ ON THROUGH IN VERSES 7 AND 8
• 08:36 THERE'S THIS OTHER PALE HORSE THAT COMES AND SAT ON IT WAS SOMEONE NAMED "DEATH".
• 08:41 WE'RE TOLD..."AND THE NAME OF HIM WHO SAT ON IT WAS DEATH".
• 08:45 YOU KNOW, PEOPLE HAVE NAMES,
• 08:47 THERE'S "GRACE",
• 08:48 THERE'S "CHARITY",
• 08:49 BUT "DEATH".
• 08:51 AND HADES FOLLOWED HIM AND POWER WAS GIVEN TO THEM OVER A FORTH OF THE EARTH
• 08:57 TO KILL WITH THE SWORD, WITH HUNGER, WITH DEATH AND BY BEASTS OF THE EARTH.
• 09:04 WHEN I READ THE BIBLICAL ACCOUNTING IT SEEMS TO ME HERE THAT THIS IS A WORLD GONE WILD,
• 09:11 THIS IS A WORLD GONE BAD.
• 09:13 THIS ISN'T JUST THE WILD, WILD, WEST...
• 09:15 IT'S NOT LIKE THERE'S A CIVILIZED PART OF THE WORLD
• 09:18 AND THEN THERE'S THE FRONTIER WHERE THINGS ARE OUT OF HAND.
• 09:21 THIS IS A WORLD IN FACT WHERE THINGS ARE OUT OF HAND.
• 09:25 AND WHAT'S INTERESTING IS EVEN THOUGH ITS OUT OF HAND AT ONE LEVEL, IT REALLY ISN'T.
• 09:30 AND THE REASON WHY I SAY THAT
• 09:32 IS REPRESENTED IN THE LITERATURE IS THAT GOD RELEASES THIS STUFF UPON THE PLANET AND WHY IS THAT?
• 09:37 HE'S PUSHING IT,HE'S PUSHING IT.
• 09:40 THE DEVIL WHO'S THE RULER OF THIS WORLD ARGUABLY HAS A BETTER TOW HOLD IN IT
• 09:45 AS HE'S PRESSING, PRESSING.
• 09:47 THE ARGUMENT IS, IS THE CHURCH HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM IT,
• 09:50 THE RAPTURE IS SOMETHING THAT BELONGS TO THE PAST AT THIS JUNCTURE
• 09:55 AND UNTOLD MISERIES ARE LET LOOSE, PUSHING, PUSHING, PUSHING, PUSHING TO THE BRINK.
• 10:02 THAT'S THE BAD NEWS.
• 10:04 AND IT'S DESCRIBED AS ONE READS ON THROUGH THE CHAPTER
• 10:07 WHERE PEOPLE WERE JUST PRAYING FOR DEATH,
• 10:10 WANTING THE MOUNTAINS "JUST FALL ON ME, CAN YOU END THIS THING?"
• 10:15 OH IT'S A HORRIBLE SEASON IN HUMAN EXPERIENCE
• 10:17 IN THIS DAY WHEN THE DEVIL HAS HIS DAY.
• 10:22 REVELATION IS AN INTERESTING BOOK.
• 10:24 IT TALKS ABOUT A WORLD THAT'S SPIRALING INTO DECAY AND TO DESPAIR.
• 10:30 AND WE AREN'T GOING TO LEAVE YOU THERE WOULD BE A HORRIBLE STORY.
• 10:33 THERE IS A SILVER LINING IN THIS CLOUD.
• 10:35 WHAT HAPPENS IS THESE PRESSURES ARE BEING USED TO TURN PEOPLE GOD-WARD
• 10:39 AND HE IS GOING TO COME SOON
• 10:41 AND SO EVEN IN THIS WORLD PEOPLE CAN LOOK UP BECAUSE THEIR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH.
• 10:56 A DECEIVER AND COUNTERFEIT.
• 10:58 AND EVIL WENT FORTH CONQUERING AND TO CONQUER.

• 13:36 AND SAW ABOUT A WORLD AT THE RAGGED EDGE OF TIME WHICH BRINGS US TO REVELATION.
• 13:42 AND OFF WE GO NOW TO HEAR WHAT JOHN HAS TO SAY IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
• 13:56 EVER DILIGENT
• 13:57 THE DARK DEMONIC SYSTEM OF THE UNDERWORLD COMMANDS THE FORCES OF AN INSIDIOUS PLANET.
• 14:07 AND THE NUMBER OF THE ARMY WAS 200 MILLION.
• 14:19 (DEVIL LAUGHING)
• 14:26 FIRE, SMOKE, BRIMSTONE...
• 14:29 BY THESE ONE-THIRD OF MANKIND WAS KILLED.
• 14:35 (DEVIL LAUGHING)
• 14:49 I'VE WALKED AMONG THE DEAD BEFORE AND I CAN TELL YOU IT'S NOT A HAPPY EXPERIENCE.
• 14:55 AS A POLICE OFFICER I'VE BEEN AMONG THE DEAD.
• 14:58 AS A POLICE DETECTIVE I'VE WALKED EVER SO GINGERLY AROUND CRIME SCENES.
• 15:04 AND AS A CHAPLAIN I'VE HAD THAT OPPORTUNITY TO DEAL WITH DEATH, SUICIDE AND THE AFTERMATH
• 15:11 AND IT'S ALL VERY GUT-WRENCHING.
• 15:13 YOU NEVER GET USED TO IT.
• 15:17 I COULD SAY THAT BEYOND WHAT MOST PREACHERS EXPERIENCE
• 15:21 WHEN I LOOK BACK OVER MY SHOULDER I CAN SAY THAT I'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH DEATH.
• 15:27 BUT I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT NOTHING I EXPERIENCE OR YOU OR ANYBODY CAN EXPERIENCE
• 15:31 CAN PREPARE US FOR WHAT JOHN IS ENVISIONING HERE IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION.
• 15:38 HE SEES THE WORLD ABLAZE.
• 15:41 IN THE 9TH CHAPTER OF REVELATION
• 15:44 TALKS ABOUT A TRUMPET BLAST'S HERALDING DEVASTATION OF COSMIC PROPORTIONS
• 15:51 UNLEASHED UPON AN EARTH THAT'S ALREADY WEARIED WITH ITS AFFAIRS.
• 15:57 AND THE NET RESULT IS DEATH AND CARNAGE IN VARIOUS WAYS.
• 16:00 AND IN THIS PARTICULAR STORY THE DEVIL HAS HIS DAY AND I SAY THAT...
• 16:07 IT'S NOT JUST SOME CUTE SERIES TITLE.
• 16:10 THE LORD IS ON RECORD SAYING THAT THE NATURE OF THE DEVIL
• 16:14 IS TO STEAL, TO KILL AND TO DESTROY; AND HE'S FULL THROTTLE HERE IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION.
• 16:19 HE'S NOT JUST BEING SHEEPISH;
• 16:22 HE'S JUST GIVING VENT TO WHAT HE'S ALL ABOUT.
• 16:25 AND HERE THIS DESTRUCTION EXPRESSES ITSELF IN THE APOCALYPTIC VISION
• 16:31 OF AN ANGEL HERE UNLEASHING THESE FORCES MARSHALED FROM THE EUPHRATES
• 16:38 AND JOHN IS SHOCKED BY WHAT HE SEES.
• 16:40 AS IN NOTHING PREPARED ME FOR THIS DEATH STORY,
• 16:43 JOHN...NOTHING PREPARED HIM FOR IT.
• 16:45 HE HAS TO KIND OF APOLOGIZE FOR IT...OR NOT APOLOGIZE BUT TO QUALIFY TO FORCEFULLY SAY
• 16:50 "LISTEN, I'M JUST TELLING YOU WHAT I SAW."
• 16:53 WELL LET ME TELL YOU WHAT HE SAW.
• 16:55 HE IN CHAPTER 9, VERSE 14,
• 16:58 THESE ANGELS ARE TOLD TO RELEASE THESE FORCES BOUND AT THE EUPHRATES IN VERSE 15
• 17:04 THAT THEY ARE GOING TO KILL...ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?...
• 17:07 A THIRD OF HUMANKIND.
• 17:10 AND THERE'S FOR THOSE FORCES VESTED WITH AUTHORIZATION TO REEK THAT HAVOC WE'RE TOLD,
• 17:16 THE NUMBER OF THE ARMY OF HORSEMAN WAS 200 MILLION.
• 17:21 NOW JOHN DIDN'T HAVE A FRAMEWORK TO WORK WITH THOSE NUMBERS.
• 17:27 REMINDS ME OF WHAT I THINK AND FEEL WHEN I CONSIDER THE ECONOMY AND TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS...
• 17:32 WHAT?...THERE EVEN WAS SUCH A THING AS A TRILLION?
• 17:35 FOR ME MONEY COMES INTO THE HOUSE, I PAY THE BILLS AND PUT A LITTLE IN THE BANK.
• 17:39 I'M NOT USED TO SUCH VAST SUMS.
• 17:41 IT'S LIKE THE LORD IS SPEAKING TO HIM...200 MILLION.
• 17:44 NOW REWIND THE TAPE BACK AT TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO, THAT THE EARTH WASN'T THAT POPULATED...
• 17:50 200 MILLION!
• 17:52 AND THEN JOHN SAYS, "LISTEN, I HEARD THAT NUMBER."
• 17:56 I DON'T WANT TO SPEND TIME BEING CUTE ABOUT THE NUMBER AND THE EXPERIENCE
• 18:00 AND DISTRACT FOCUS FROM WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE
• 18:03 AND THAT IS A WORLD THAT'S RIGHT AT THE EDGE.
• 18:07 IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WHEN THE DEVIL HAS HIS DAY
• 18:10 THAT THE LORD ALLOWS THE EARTH TO BE PUT RIGHT TO THE BRINK.
• 18:17 AND EVEN THEN IN THAT STATE ITS INTERESTING WE'RE TOLD IN VERSES 20 AND 21,
• 18:23 "AND PEOPLE DIDN'T REPENT".
• 18:26 IT SEEMS TO ME THAT PUSHED TO THE BRINK, AS MANY WOULD HAVE BEEN,
• 18:29 THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY THERE TO LOOK INWARD AND UPWARD,
• 18:32 BE HONEST ABOUT SINS AND REACH UP TO GOD AND GET FORGIVENESS FOR IT.
• 18:35 BUT TRAGICALLY THEY'RE SO HARDENED IN THEIR MISERIES
• 18:38 THEY'RE NOT GIVEN TO THAT KIND OF BUSINESS.
• 18:40 MAY IT BE THAT ME AND YOU ALWAYS FOREVER REMAIN SENSITIVE
• 18:44 AS WE LOOK UP TO GOD BELIEVING THAT DIFFICULTIES NOTWITHSTANDING
• 18:47 THAT REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH.
• 18:52 (Jeff speaking) AND NOW IN PRAISE AND ADORATION OF OUR FAITHFUL REDEEMER
• 18:57 WE ENTER INTO HIS GATES WITH THANKSGIVING
• 18:59 AND INTO HIS COURTS WITH PRAISE.

• 22:03 I'VE HEARD IT SAID THAT ONE OLD FRIEND
• 22:06 IS BETTER THAN 20 NEW ONES.
• 22:08 I DON'T KNOW HOW TO RATE IT
• 22:09 BUT HERE I AM WITH MY OLD FRIEND PAUL WILBUR.
• 22:13 WE DO GO BACK A FEW YEARS.
• 22:16 I HAVE A WONDERFUL TEE SHIRT THAT I LOVE FROM A CERTAIN MOTORCYCLE COMPANY
• 22:21 THAT SAYS, "OLD FRIENDS ARE STILL THE BEST",
• 22:23 SO YOU'RE GOOD. (Jeff laughing)
• 22:25 LISTEN YOU HAVE SPENT YEARS AND YEARS ON THE ROAD
• 22:29 AS A MINISTER OF MUSIC,
• 22:30 YOU'RE A CONTEMPORARY PRAISE ARTIST,
• 22:33 YOU SING A LOT OF SONGS.
• 22:35 "BEHOLD HE COMES RIDING ON THE CLOUDS"
• 22:39 CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THAT ONE?
• 22:40 ITS CALLED "DAYS OF ELIJAH".
• 22:42 A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK I WROTE IT
• 22:44 BECAUSE I INTRODUCED IT ON THE RECORDING WE DID LIVE IN JERUSALEM BACK IN 1977.
• 22:50 BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY DOWNLOADED
• 22:52 TO A 58 YEAR OLD PROFESSOR TYPE
• 22:55 THAT YOU CAN RELATE TO CERTAINLY,
• 22:58 WORSHIP LEADER AT A SMALL CHURCH IN BELFAST, IRELAND
• 23:02 WHO REALLY THOUGHT,
• 23:04 "THIS IS MY LIFE, THIS IS WHAT I'M GOING TO DO WITH IT".
• 23:07 BUT HE SPENT SO MUCH TIME IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
• 23:09 ONE DAY THE LORD JUST WANTED TO BLESS HIM WITH THIS SPECIAL SONG.
• 23:13 SO HOW DID YOU PICK IT UP?
• 23:15 HOW DID A GUY LIKE YOU HEAR?
• 23:17 I MEAN THAT'S A GUY THAT'S NOT WELL KNOWN
• 23:19 AND HERE'S PAUL WILBUR ...PICKS IT UP.
• 23:20 WELL IT CAME TO ME.
• 23:22 HE SENT IT ACTUALLY AS A DEMO TO INTEGRITY MUSIC.
• 23:26 BUT BECAUSE AMERICANS LOVE COUNTRY MUSIC
• 23:30 THE DEMO HE SENT WAS...
• 23:32 DOO, DUNKA DOO, DUNKA....
• 23:34 IT WAS A COUNTRY...
• 23:35 "BE...HOLD... HE...COMES" DOO DA DOO.
• 23:38 BUT NOT ALL AMERICANS LOVE COUNTRY MUSIC
• 23:41 AND SO WE PICKED IT UP AND TRIED IT WITH A DIFFERENT STYLE
• 23:46 AND ITS BEEN AROUND THE WORLD.
• 23:48 I'VE RE-RECORDED IT IN 3 LANGUAGES.
• 23:50 ITS JUST ONE OF THOSE SONGS,
• 23:51 IT TALKS ABOUT THE RETURN OF THE LORD
• 23:54 THAT EVERYBODY SINGS STANDING ON THE CHAIRS STILL 10 YEARS LATER.
• 23:58 ITS ONE OF THOSE MOST POPULAR, ANOINTED SONGS.
• 24:01 YEAH THAT WAS ONE OF THE THOSE SONGS
• 24:03 WHEN I LOVED IT WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT,
• 24:06 WHEN I FIRST HEARD YOU DOING IT,
• 24:07 IT JUST RESONATED AS AN ALL TIME FAVORITE.
• 24:10 WONDERFUL
• 24:11 BEHOLD HE COMES.
• 24:12 PAUL SINGS ABOUT IT.
• 24:14 OTHERS TALK ABOUT IT.
• 24:15 AND NOW WE HEAR FROM SOMEONE WHO'S GONE TO BE WITH HIM,
• 24:18 THE LATE ZOLA LEVITT WEIGHS IN ON THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS.
• 24:25 THE SECOND COMING OF THE LORD IS THE START OF THE KINGDOM TO COME
• 24:29 AND WE COME BACK WITH HIM.
• 24:31 IT SAYS "WE THAT ARE WITH HIM" IN THE SCRIPTURE,
• 24:34 THAT IS THE WHOLE CHURCH THAT WENT TO HEAVEN IN THE RAPTURE,
• 24:39 WE RETURN WITH THE LORD, WE'RE AN ARMY THIS TIME.
• 24:42 THERE'S ANOTHER CASE WHERE WE'RE SOLDIERS IN AN ARMY,
• 24:44 THE LORD RIDES IN ON A WHITE HORSE WITH A VESTURE,
• 24:48 WITH A GARMENT THAT SAYS "KING OF KINGS, LORD OF LORDS" ON THE THIGH OF THE GARMENT.
• 24:52 WHY ON THE THIGH?
• 24:54 WELL HE'S ON A HORSEBACK WEARING A JEWISH PRAYER SHAWL,
• 24:57 SO THE WRITING ON THE PRAYER SHAWL IS DOWN ON THE THIGH
• 25:00 AND THAT WOULD BE AT EYE LEVEL FOR A MAN ON HORSE BACK.
• 25:04 SO ITS CLEAR WHO HE IS, NO BODY CAN SAY THAT DIDN'T SEE WHO IS,
• 25:07 IN FACT ALL ISRAEL WILL SEE WHO HE IS CAUSE IT SAYS IN ZECHARIAH CHAPTER 12, VERSE 10,
• 25:12 "THEY SHALL LOOK UPON ME WHOM THEY'VE PIERCED AND MOURN FOR HIM AS FOR AN ONLY SON
• 25:16 AND FOUNT OF CLEANSING WILL BE OPEN TO THE HOUSE OF DAVID."
• 25:19 ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED WHEN HE COMES.
• 25:21 ROMANS CHAPTER 11, VERSE 26 PAUL CORROBORATES WITH THE VERSE,
• 25:24 "ALL ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED WHEN THE DELIVERER SHALL COME OUT OF ZION".
• 25:29 SO IN THE END THE SURVIVING JEWS AT THE END OF THE TRIBULATION WILL LOOK UPON HIM AND BE SAVED.
• 25:35 AND THAT'S ALL ANY OF US NEED TO DO IS LOOK UPON HIM AND WE'RE SAVED...
• 25:39 KNOW THAT HE IS MESSIAH AND THAT'S WHAT THEY WILL DO AT THAT TIME.
• 25:46 SEEMS TO ME PAUL THAT GOD IS EVEN WORKING DURING
• 25:50 THE TRIBULATION PERIOD TO BRING PEOPLE TO HIM.
• 25:52 IT'S ALL ABOUT BRINGING PEOPLE TO HIM ISN'T IT?
• 25:54 IT IS.
