• 00:17 Joshua Colson: The last 1260 days
• 00:19 of the Tribulation, also known
• 00:20 as the Great Tribulation,
• 00:23 is an insane free-for-all melee of Satan incarnate, pouring
• 00:26 out his wrath against the Jewish people
• 00:28 and murdering followers of Yeshua.
• 00:30 But it’s also the divine wrath
• 00:32 of the Most High God against the wicked.
• 00:35 To combat the Nephilim powers of the final
• 00:37 transhumans who receive the mark
• 00:39 of the beast, God empowers 144,000
• 00:43 Jewish witnesses to spread the gospel
• 00:46 global while sending two Hebrew prophets,
• 00:48 Enoch and Elijah, with supernatural power
• 00:51 to outmatch the beast and false prophet
• 00:54 with a constant outpouring of plagues,
• 00:57 trumpet judgments, and bowls of wrath,
• 00:59 this new breed of humans, made Nephilim,
• 01:03 will suffer agony beyond death for bowing
• 01:06 to Satan.

• 02:35 Caleb Colson: We made it, Josh.
• 02:37 This is Antioch Pisidia in the region of Galatia.
• 02:40 We’ll meet back up with Hirchie and David
• 02:42 in Istanbul later.
• 02:43 There’s a very important story to tell here.
• 02:46 This city was first built by Antiochus I,
• 02:49 the great-great-grandfather of that antichrist,
• 02:52 Antiochus Epiphanes IV, but this was a very
• 02:55 important city for the worship of
• 02:57 Caesar Augustus.
• 02:58 You know, he was the second Roman emperor
• 03:01 to be deified after his father Julius Caesar was.
• 03:05 But this site holds significance for
• 03:07 that imperial worship.
• 03:09 It’s almost in a way you think that the beast
• 03:12 is probably the last demigod that we’re gonna see
• 03:16 and in a way his temple was here and we’re
• 03:18 gonna go see it.
• 03:20 Joshua: I thought we already visited three temples
• 03:22 to Augustus in Israel.
• 03:23 Caleb: Well, yeah.
• 03:25 Joshua: It’s a lot of temples.
• 03:26 I don’t like any of it.
• 03:27 This idea that a king is all of a sudden
• 03:29 the progeny of all these other little gods.
• 03:33 It’s a concept that began, I guess, back
• 03:34 in some of the earliest civilizations.
• 03:36 It’s gotta be something Satan came up with
• 03:38 because it doesn’t make any sense to me.
• 03:40 And you look back at the Sumerians,
• 03:43 they called them Lugal, which meant big god,
• 03:47 you know, they were like giant big gods
• 03:49 that were in charge.
• 03:51 And you look at the Egyptians
• 03:52 and they deified their pharaohs
• 03:54 in the same way and basically Rome had
• 03:56 to do it at some point.
• 03:58 They were just a little late to the party.
• 03:59 Satan’s plan back in action again.
• 04:02 Caleb: Let’s go see this infamous temple I
• 04:04 was telling you about.
• 04:06 Joshua: So many temples, so little time.
• 04:09 Caleb: Isaiah 14:13-14: “For you [Lucifer]
• 04:14 have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven,
• 04:16 I will exalt my throne above the stars [Sons] of God;
• 04:20 I will also sit on the mount of congregation
• 04:23 on the farthest sides of the north;
• 04:24 I will ascend above the heights
• 04:26 of the clouds, I will be like Most High.'”
• 04:32 Joshua: This, pretty cool, I guess, other than
• 04:36 it’s totally destroyed.
• 04:38 It’s the Temple of Augustus, the Augusteum, ooh,
• 04:41 masters of conjugation.
• 04:43 What will we name this complex?
• 04:45 I don’t know, we’ll conjugate
• 04:46 the guy’s last name.
• 04:48 That’s a rant, okay, I get it.
• 04:49 I don’t know, it reminds me of that one guy,
• 04:50 Nebuchadnezzar, Babylonian king, antichrist-type figure
• 04:54 that Satan thought he was gonna use.
• 04:56 Why?
• 04:57 Because he, you know, destroyed Jerusalem.
• 04:58 He took the Jews captive, destroyed the temple,
• 05:01 but God decided to go ahead and show Nebuchadnezzar
• 05:03 some of his future plans and how he wasn’t actually
• 05:06 in them, so it didn’t go so well for him.
• 05:10 Caleb: Yeah, one particular plan I
• 05:11 can remember, Daniel chapter 2 is very important.
• 05:14 This dream that God gives Nebuchadnezzar of a statue.
• 05:17 And that statue is very unique.
• 05:20 It had a head of gold which represented
• 05:21 the Babylonian Empire.
• 05:23 It had the chest and arms of silver
• 05:26 that represented the Medo-Persian Empire,
• 05:28 and it had the stomach and legs of bronze
• 05:30 that represented the Greek Empire.
• 05:32 The legs were made of iron.
• 05:35 That was the Roman Empire.
• 05:37 But what was unique was the feet
• 05:39 and toes mixed of iron and clay.
• 05:42 That represented a future revived
• 05:44 Roman Empire in a sense, and those ten toes
• 05:47 were the ten kings of the beast’s
• 05:49 ten-king kingdom.
• 05:51 Joshua: It’s a lot of math.
• 05:52 Ten-toed, ten king, neon blue shoes,
• 05:55 no, that’s my feet.
• 05:57 I don’t know.
• 05:58 Caleb: Let’s check out this temple.
• 06:00 Joshua: There’s a reason I don’t get prophetic stuff.
• 06:04 Caleb: Daniel 2:40-43: “And the fourth kingdom
• 06:08 shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks
• 06:11 in pieces and shatters everything;
• 06:13 and like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break
• 06:16 into pieces and crush all others.
• 06:18 Whereas you saw the feet and toes,
• 06:21 partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron,
• 06:24 the kingdom shall be divided;
• 06:25 yet the strength of the iron shall be in it,
• 06:28 just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay.
• 06:31 And as toes of feet were partly of iron
• 06:33 and partly of clay, so the kingdom
• 06:36 shall be partly strong and partly fragile.
• 06:38 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay,
• 06:41 they will mingle with the seed of men;
• 06:43 but they will not adhere to one another, just
• 06:46 as iron does not mix with clay.”
• 06:50 Joshua: This prophecy is about seed.
• 06:51 The fallen angels mingle with the seed of men.
• 06:54 They make these Nephilim.
• 06:55 They’re promised, you know, if you’ll do
• 06:57 this, if you’ll join with us, you’re going to get to be
• 07:00 like a god.
• 07:02 But the problem is, is that all of those godlike
• 07:04 creatures are going to face God’s wrath,
• 07:06 the actual God, during the time
• 07:08 of the Tribulation when he throws out
• 07:10 all his plagues and it says that it’s going to be
• 07:13 so terrible that they’re begging for death
• 07:15 because of it.
• 07:17 Caleb: Yeah, you mentioned that’s
• 07:18 in Revelation 9:6.
• 07:20 It says: “In those days men will seek death
• 07:23 and will not find it; they will desire to die,
• 07:26 and death will flee from them.”
• 07:28 This is a spectacular, harsh judgment
• 07:31 that happens at the fifth trumpet blast.
• 07:35 And, you know, at the final Great
• 07:38 Tribulation moment, those final 3 1/2 years,
• 07:41 where Abaddon, Apollyon, this angel comes
• 07:43 out of the abyss and he leads
• 07:46 an army of these locust scorpion hybrids
• 07:50 to go persecute, to go punish those who
• 07:53 have the mark of the beast, they can’t die,
• 07:55 but they feel this agonizing pain
• 07:57 for 5 months, all the while there
• 07:59 are angels flying through the atmosphere,
• 08:02 declaring them, “Woe, woe to you.
• 08:04 Do not receive a mark of a beast,
• 08:06 or you will spend an eternity in hellfire.”
• 08:09 This plague is so agonizing it
• 08:11 finally gets their attention.
• 08:14 Joshua: Revelation 6:15-17: “Then
• 08:17 the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals,
• 08:20 the rich, the mighty, and everyone else,
• 08:22 both slave and free, hid in caves and
• 08:25 among the rocks of the mountains.
• 08:26 They called to the mountains and the rocks, ‘Fall on us,
• 08:29 hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne
• 08:32 from the wrath of the Lamb!
• 08:34 For the great day of their wrath has come,
• 08:36 and who can withstand it?'”
• 08:38 Caleb: This is where everything gets crazy.
• 08:40 You have 144,000 and the 2 witnesses,
• 08:43 Enoch and Elijah, preaching the gospel
• 08:45 of Yeshua to all these who have received
• 08:48 the mark of the beast during the Great Tribulation.
• 08:50 It’s just chaos.
• 08:51 There’s lots of battles.
• 08:53 There’s lots of destruction, plagues, and judgments
• 08:55 being poured out.
• 08:57 Enoch’s destiny comes full circle as once
• 08:59 upon a time he prophesied against those fallen
• 09:02 B’nai Elohim, and they were bound
• 09:04 in Tartarus and in prison.
• 09:06 There are four–four of these B’nai
• 09:08 Elohim that were bound at the great river Euphrates
• 09:10 in Babylon, and they are set loose
• 09:13 to be the leaders of the 200-million-man
• 09:16 army of hybrids and, you know, probably humans
• 09:19 with the mark of the beast.
• 09:21 They traveled the entire breadth of Asia
• 09:23 to go and try to destroy the beast
• 09:26 and the false prophet to take their kingdom
• 09:28 at Jerusalem because he betrayed
• 09:30 that one-world religion of the Nephilim.
• 09:33 This is a very prophetic moment, Josh.
• 09:36 This is when everything
• 09:38 comes full circle because three of the ten
• 09:40 kings rebel against the beast,
• 09:42 as Daniel 11 declares.
• 09:44 Their identity is actually given.
• 09:46 One is the kings of the east from China.
• 09:48 One is these conglomeration
• 09:50 of the king of North Africa led by Egypt,
• 09:54 and one is the king from the far north in Russia.
• 09:57 They all come to converge upon Jerusalem,
• 09:59 and he has to call in reinforcement
• 10:01 from the other seven kings.
• 10:03 Joshua: Yeah, all I know about
• 10:04 all that is the end of the story, which is we win.
• 10:08 God wins.
• 10:09 That’s kind of the most important part
• 10:11 in my opinion, but God did warn Satan
• 10:12 in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream.
• 10:13 He’s like, “There’s gonna be rocks gonna be cut
• 10:15 out of a mountainside.
• 10:16 His name’s gonna be Yeshua.
• 10:17 He’s gonna come smash the ten toes,
• 10:19 ten kingdoms, and, booya, you lose.
• 10:20 So suck it up, buttercup.
• 10:21 I’m coming for you.
• 10:23 Caleb: Yes.
• 10:24 Get so excited about that prophecy stuff.
• 10:26 Joshua: It’s really weird talking too.
• 10:28 I don’t think anybody talks about
• 10:29 toe kingdoms anymore.
• 10:30 What happens if you put toe socks
• 10:32 in a toe kingdom?
• 10:33 Does that also quiet them down?
• 10:37 Caleb: Daniel 2:34-35-44: “You watched while a stone
• 10:44 was cut out without hands, which struck
• 10:46 the image of its feet of iron and clay,
• 10:49 and broke them in pieces.
• 10:50 And the stone that struck the image
• 10:52 became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
• 10:55 And in the days of these kings
• 10:57 the God of heaven will set up a kingdom
• 10:59 which shall never be destroyed.”
• 11:03 Caleb: Well, that scripture
• 11:04 with the mountain we’re gonna get to that
• 11:07 in the end.
• 11:08 It’s a very important prophecy.
• 11:09 We have to get through the bad
• 11:11 part of the story before we can get
• 11:12 to the good part at the very end.
• 11:14 Now I know you’re wondering where Hirchie is.
• 11:16 He jumped ahead of us to Sardis, which
• 11:18 is gonna be very cool.
• 11:20 He has a story for us right there
• 11:22 at the location of one of the seven
• 11:24 churches, but as you can see, we’re
• 11:26 in Constantinople still, so.
• 11:28 David Pavey: So these, if you look here,
• 11:31 these are the famous walls of Constantinople.
• 11:34 These walls, in fact, the original one,
• 11:36 the ones furthest away, they surrounded the whole city.
• 11:39 Built by the Emperor Constantine, and then later
• 11:43 on, in the 5th century, Theodosius, he built
• 11:47 this second layer.
• 11:48 These walls were incredible, practically impregnable
• 11:53 until around 1453.
• 11:55 Joshua: Constan-tine, I’m gonna start calling it
• 11:57 that, you know, Constantinople was
• 11:58 more than just a city.
• 12:00 It was designed by Constantine
• 12:02 to be an idea, to be like–
• 12:06 think of old Jerusalem as being the holy city
• 12:08 for the Jewish people, right?
• 12:10 And you know, Yeshua being their Messiah.
• 12:12 Well, Constantine fancied himself
• 12:14 to be the Messiah of this, Constantinople,
• 12:17 as we realize he was really an anti-Messiah,
• 12:21 so this nexus of religion and politics would
• 12:25 be the central hub for the new Christians,
• 12:27 the Roman Christians, you know, the ones
• 12:28 that got chosen, grafted in by an edict
• 12:31 as opposed to having to have personal choice.
• 12:33 If you look at this, this is
• 12:35 really the OG of replacement theology.
• 12:39 Caleb: Yeah, and it’s kind of crazy
• 12:41 because that term of making something else the New
• 12:44 Jerusalem than God’s designation was first given to
• 12:48 the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, and that was
• 12:51 built by Constantine.
• 12:53 He initiated that in Jerusalem.
• 12:55 But he claimed to have found
• 12:57 the relic of the sacred cross there,
• 12:59 like a piece of the cross, and he ended up taking
• 13:02 those artifacts, bringing them back here
• 13:05 to his New Jerusalem here, including the remains
• 13:08 of Saint Babylas in Antioch, the remains of Saint
• 13:11 Timothy in Ephesus, even the remains of Saint
• 13:14 Luke in Thebes.
• 13:15 They were all brought back to his great
• 13:17 palace of Constantinople, which he then designated
• 13:21 the New Jerusalem.
• 13:22 So that’s, yeah, he went all in.
• 13:25 Joshua: Show off.
• 13:28 I don’t like that guy, even if you call him Constan-tine.
• 13:40 David: Those walls are thick.
• 13:42 Caleb: They are.
• 13:44 David: So, Constantinople’s purpose as the New
• 13:47 Jerusalem really was the idea behind it was
• 13:49 to bring these three ideologies at the time.
• 13:52 You had the Roman ideology, you had the Hellenistic
• 13:55 Romanology, and you had the Christian ideology
• 13:57 in there too.
• 13:59 You had those three ideologies, and
• 14:00 Constantine wanted to bring them all together
• 14:02 and mix it up.
• 14:04 And so what he wanted to do was have one
• 14:05 political leader, one state, and one religion,
• 14:10 all mixed up into one.
• 14:12 Caleb: That that sounds very prophetic, you know.
• 14:14 By the 5th century, Constantinople’s name
• 14:18 as the New Jerusalem or the Second
• 14:19 Jerusalem stuck, and we can see
• 14:21 the earliest writings, such as the Life of Saint
• 14:24 Daniel the Stylite mentions it as the New Jerusalem.
• 14:29 Saint Simeon the Elder sent him here
• 14:31 because all the relics of God were in this holy city.
• 14:33 Thus it must be the New Jerusalem.
• 14:36 Joshua: You know, by the 6th century
• 14:37 you got another cat out there, Emperor Justinian,
• 14:40 and he built the Sophia Hegia.
• 14:42 I always mispronounce it, is that right?
• 14:44 Caleb: Hagia Sophia.
• 14:45 Joshua: Hagia Sophia.
• 14:46 I get dyslexic and I get mispronounce,
• 14:48 but the Hagia Sophia church, the one we saw last week, right?
• 14:50 And he makes this thing ornate, the fact
• 14:52 that at the coronation or instant whatever you call it,
• 14:55 whenever they opened it up, he goes, “Solomon,
• 14:58 I have outdone thee.”
• 15:00 That’s big words throwing it down on Solomon.
• 15:02 And in fact, this thing was
• 15:03 like an institution.
• 15:05 I mean, it withstood all of those sieges
• 15:07 to the point that many thought
• 15:09 that this was the fulfillment of Gog
• 15:10 and Magog from Ezekiel 38 and 39,
• 15:13 which obviously it wasn’t.
• 15:15 Even the imperial throne of the Byzantine
• 15:18 Empire became known as the throne of Solomon.
• 15:21 I mean, this place is baller.
• 15:25 Caleb: It’s very interesting that it looks
• 15:28 like Satan didn’t want to let go of the Eastern
• 15:31 Roman Empire as his possibility
• 15:33 for his future world empire, but at the same time,
• 15:36 he couldn’t understand prophecy.
• 15:38 He had to have the surviving Western portion
• 15:41 in his pocket with the Catholic Church,
• 15:44 which it would end up being the Holy Roman Empire.
• 15:46 And then when the Ottoman Empire came,
• 15:48 he had to have them in his pocket as well.
• 15:50 He had to have an Antichrist waiting
• 15:52 in the wings in every world empire
• 15:54 in history just in case because he didn’t
• 15:56 know what God’s timing was, so.
• 16:10 David: For many, many years, these walls
• 16:11 had held off many different invading armies.
• 16:15 But eventually, in AD 1453, the Ottomans
• 16:19 took siege to the city.
• 16:21 Now the Ottomans had something different,
• 16:22 they had something up their sleeve
• 16:23 that had never been thought of before.
• 16:26 It was like the Exocet missile of the day,
• 16:28 they had created cannons and cannonballs.
• 16:31 And for 53 days, they fired these 1100-pound
• 16:36 cannonballs at these walls.
• 16:38 And after 53 days, they eventually broke through.
• 16:42 Caleb: That’s right, Dave, and that’s why it’s so crazy.
• 16:45 This Eastern Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire,
• 16:48 lasted so long, but its capacity of its empire
• 16:53 shrunk just to a few kilometers
• 16:56 outside the city wall, and within the city wall,
• 16:59 it was left when the Ottoman Empire came
• 17:01 to destroy it.
• 17:03 The last Constantine, Constantine XI, was ruling here.
• 17:08 It fell May 29th, 1453.
• 17:10 The first Constantine built it in 330 AD.
• 17:14 That is a long span of time.
• 17:16 But you see that the story
• 17:19 of the fall of the city parallels the same story
• 17:21 with the beast in the future,
• 17:23 where he has to shrink back to Jerusalem
• 17:26 to defend his empire when the 200-million-man army
• 17:29 is approaching from the east.
• 17:31 Joshua: Well, at that point, the beast summons with,
• 17:33 of course, the help of the three
• 17:35 evil frog spirits, so confusing to me,
• 17:38 the seven world powers that are still loyal to him
• 17:40 because he needs help defending Jerusalem,
• 17:42 which he has declared like his place,
• 17:45 and that battle of Jerusalem, aka Armageddon,
• 17:48 right, is where this is, you know, going to take place.
• 17:50 But then the beast takes his armies
• 17:51 and he sets up in Megiddo in the valley, right?
• 17:54 And at that point is when we know
• 17:56 that all the stuff’s going to hit the fan
• 17:58 because that’s when the big battle really begins.
• 18:01 Caleb: Oh, awesome.
• 18:03 Joshua: He always thinks it’s so awesome to have,
• 18:05 like, the endtimes battles.
• 18:07 I don’t know why.
• 18:09 He’s just into that kind of stuff.
• 18:13 Caleb: Daniel 11:40: “At the time of the end
• 18:17 the king of the South will engage him
• 18:20 [the Beast] in battle, and the king of the North
• 18:22 will storm out against him with chariots and cavalry
• 18:25 and a great fleet of ships.
• 18:28 He will invade many countries
• 18:30 and sweep through them like a flood.
• 18:32 He [the Beast] will pitch
• 18:34 his royal tents between the seas
• 18:37 and at the beautiful holy mountain.
• 18:40 Yet he will come to this end, and no one will help him.”
• 18:45 Caleb: All right, this is when things get crazy
• 18:47 because the king of the North from Russia,
• 18:49 he gathers his fleet of ships in the Black Sea.
• 18:52 They have to pass through the narrow
• 18:54 Bosporus Strait through Istanbul here,
• 18:57 which was the former seat of the beast,
• 18:59 but there’s a problem.
• 19:00 The city is destroyed by then.
• 19:02 Babylon the Great is fallen,
• 19:03 so he has no problem bringing his ships all the way
• 19:06 through to the Sea of Marmara down
• 19:08 to the Mediterranean Sea, to the coast to Caesarea
• 19:11 to march his armies into Israel.
• 19:14 Joshua: At this point, while all the kings
• 19:16 are fighting, not like kung fu fighting
• 19:18 like the song, but like all the kings
• 19:19 are fighting amongst each other, it’s
• 19:21 at that moment– the Jews are
• 19:22 over here trapped in the Temple Mount–
• 19:24 that the heavens split open.
• 19:26 And the King of kings and Lord of lords,
• 19:28 Yeshua the Messiah, he rides in with
• 19:30 the armies of heaven, including us,
• 19:33 me on a Clydesdale, adorned by like
• 19:35 spiked armor with a giant battle ax
• 19:37 and a braided beard.
• 19:38 I mean, I think, that’s what my request
• 19:40 that I submitted is.
• 19:41 He rides in and it’s at that point
• 19:43 where all the kings are like, “Okay, let’s do this,”
• 19:46 and their whole army faces off with the King of kings
• 19:49 and the Lord of lords, and spoiler alert,
• 19:51 it goes poorly for everyone but Yeshua.
• 19:55 Caleb: Epic.
• 19:58 Ah!
• 20:01 Something like that.
• 20:02 David: Yours is the victory, Jesus.
• 20:04 Come on!
• 20:05 Caleb: Gonna be awesome.
• 20:08 Caleb: Revelation 19:19-21: “Then I saw
• 20:11 the beast and the kings of the earth
• 20:13 and their armies gathered together
• 20:14 to wage war against the rider of the horse and his army.
• 20:18 But the beast was captured, and with it the false
• 20:20 prophet who performed the signs in its behalf.
• 20:23 With these signs he had deluded those who
• 20:25 had received the mark of the beast
• 20:26 and worshiped its image.
• 20:28 The two of them were thrown alive
• 20:30 into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
• 20:32 The rest were killed with the sword coming
• 20:34 out of the mouth of the rider on the horse,
• 20:36 and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.”
• 20:41 Caleb: Well, gentlemen, we all made it here to Sardis.
• 20:44 This is a very important place because it was a letter
• 20:47 that Yeshua sent to one of the seven churches.
• 20:50 This is the 5th church, but back to Revelation 19,
• 20:53 this is, I’m so excited, the conclusion
• 20:56 of the glorious seed war that has been going
• 20:58 on throughout history that we have been waiting for.
• 21:01 Genesis 3:15: “The seed of a woman
• 21:04 finally crushes the head of the nachash.
• 21:06 The serpent is beat down.
• 21:08 Never again will Satan begin his biogenetic program.
• 21:12 Never again will he mingle his seed
• 21:14 with the seed of mankind and create
• 21:15 this perversion of Nephilim and monstrosities.
• 21:18 This is the happy ending we’ve finally
• 21:20 been waiting for through a lot of bad.
• 21:22 Joshua: Three words I haven’t heard
• 21:23 you ever get that excited about: great seed war.
• 21:26 Caleb: Yes, it’s awesome.
• 21:28 Hirchie Schaffner: Yeah, so, well, in that moment,
• 21:30 you know, for a thousand years, Satan is now bound up
• 21:33 and Yeshua comes.
• 21:35 He begins to restore the earth, begins to restore
• 21:37 righteous reigning, righteous kingdom.
• 21:40 But before we get into that, now we wanna talk
• 21:42 about the reason we’re here in Sardis is because there
• 21:46 is a warning to the church and an understanding
• 21:49 that we have to get a hold of.
• 21:51 David: Jesus has John purposefully start
• 21:54 the book of Revelation with these seven warnings,
• 21:57 seven–warnings to the seven churches
• 22:01 in Asia Minor, which we now know
• 22:03 as Turkey, which is where we’re standing here.
• 22:06 And the warning is I want you to get your hearts right
• 22:09 with me.
• 22:10 I want you to repent.
• 22:11 I want you to get ready for my return.
• 22:14 And this–these letters, they’re not just relevant
• 22:17 to the churches in the first century.
• 22:19 They’re relevant to my church and
• 22:22 to your church and to your church.
• 22:24 And how do we know that?
• 22:26 Because Jesus expressly says so.
• 22:30 Joshua: And these warnings that we’re given are warnings
• 22:33 on how to escape the Great Tribulation.
• 22:35 This is the kind of thing you wanna pay attention to.
• 22:36 Say, “Hey buddy, some stuff is coming.
• 22:38 Look at these signs, look around you, be ready.”
• 22:40 Everybody’s going, “Huh, what did he say?
• 22:42 Huh?”
• 22:43 I think I’d pay a little attention to him,
• 22:45 but let’s check out and see what he wrote
• 22:46 to Sardis and see what he was trying to tell them.
• 22:49 Caleb: Revelation 3:1-3: “And to the angel
• 22:52 of the church in Sardis write, ‘These things says He
• 22:55 who has the seven Spirits of God
• 22:57 and the seven stars: Be watchful,
• 23:00 and strengthen the things which remain,
• 23:02 that are ready to die, for I have not found
• 23:05 your works perfect before God.
• 23:07 Remember therefore how you received and heard;
• 23:10 hold fast and repent.
• 23:12 Therefore if you will not watch,
• 23:14 I will come upon you as a thief,
• 23:16 and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.'”
• 23:21 David: So gents, you know, the majority of Jesus’s
• 23:23 problems were really warnings for us to be aware
• 23:27 and to keep watch for his return.
• 23:30 And Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 5,
• 23:34 verses 1 to 5, he talks about the children of light
• 23:37 and how the children of light aren’t to be too worried,
• 23:40 that we will be aware of when he comes,
• 23:43 but he talks about Jesus coming as a thief.
• 23:46 And coming as a thief, he’s not talking
• 23:47 about coming to us as a thief, he’s talking
• 23:50 about Jesus coming as a thief
• 23:52 to the children of darkness.
• 23:53 Caleb: Yeah, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
• 23:57 is the promise of our blessed hope,
• 23:59 of the harpazo, of the Rapture,
• 24:01 of being caught away to be with our Messiah
• 24:04 in the air.
• 24:05 And then we get to 1 Corinthians 15:51-53,
• 24:09 and he’s talking about not just us
• 24:11 receiving our glorified bodies at the Rapture,
• 24:13 but this event happening at the last trumpet.
• 24:16 On Yom Teruah, when the trumpets are sounded
• 24:19 throughout those 2 days of the feast
• 24:21 and the last trumpet on the last
• 24:22 moment of the last day is when he comes back for us,
• 24:25 is when we are safe from all the destruction
• 24:29 and the harm that happens during the Tribulation.
• 24:32 So that we get to marry our Messiah
• 24:34 and have a 7-year wedding feast in heaven,
• 24:38 while people on the earth are enduring
• 24:39 the wrath of his Father, but we are not reserved
• 24:43 for wrath.
• 24:44 That was his promise to the church
• 24:46 in 1 Thessalonians 5:9.
• 24:49 Hirchie: And that’s what Paul said.
• 24:50 But let’s look at what Yeshua says.
• 24:53 So in John 14, verses 2 and 3, he tells
• 24:57 his disciples and tells us clearly:
• 24:59 “In My Father’s house there are many mansions;
• 25:02 if it were not so, I would have told you.
• 25:04 But I go and prepare a place for you.
• 25:06 And if I go and prepare a place for you,
• 25:09 I will come again and receive you to Myself;
• 25:12 that where I am, you may be also.”
• 25:16 Joshua: What I find so interesting
• 25:17 about the gospel is that I truly believe
• 25:20 God went out of his way to make it very simple,
• 25:23 and man has gone out of his way
• 25:24 to overcomplicate, confuse, and deceive with
• 25:28 the Word of God.
• 25:30 And the simplicity is this: Today is the day
• 25:33 for you to decide.
• 25:35 You’ve lived your entire life making choices for you
• 25:39 and for the moment.
• 25:40 You’ve been pulled to and fro by various forms of doctrine,
• 25:44 by friends and deceivers, by all kinds of things,
• 25:48 and you’ve put it off up until this point, saying
• 25:51 that there’s still more time.
• 25:53 But you don’t have more time.
• 25:55 At some point, the Nephilim are going
• 25:57 to come back, whether or not the Rapture happens
• 26:00 and they say, “Oh, they took all the evil ones
• 26:03 off the earth,” and everyone worships them
• 26:04 as God, all that stuff, it’s irrelevant to the fact
• 26:06 that we were never intended to be there
• 26:08 at that time in the first place.
• 26:11 The Father wants you now, your heart now.
• 26:15 He wants to abide in you as one.
• 26:18 And it’s very simple.
• 26:20 You simply submit your life to him, believing
• 26:24 in your heart that he was the Son of God,
• 26:26 that he lived the perfect life fulfilling the law,
• 26:28 that he died and rose again on the third day, he’s
• 26:31 in heaven preparing a place for you.
• 26:33 You confess your sins to him and you submit your life.
• 26:38 What a simple thing to get a free gift,
• 26:41 nothing that you could earn.
• 26:43 But do it today before it’s too late.
• 26:47 Caleb: “And Yeshua said to his seven churches:
• 26:50 ‘To him who overcome, I will give to eat
• 26:53 from the tree of life, which is
• 26:55 in the midst of the paradise of God.
• 26:58 He who overcomes shall not be hurt
• 26:59 by the second death.
• 27:01 To him who overcomes, I will give
• 27:02 some of the hidden manna to eat,
• 27:04 and I will give him a white stone,
• 27:06 and on the stone a new name written
• 27:08 which no one except him who receives it.
• 27:12 And he who overcomes, I will give power
• 27:14 over the nations, as I also have received
• 27:17 from my Father, and I will give him the morning star.
• 27:20 He who overcomes shall be clothed
• 27:22 in white garments, and I will not blot
• 27:24 out his name from the Book of Life.
• 27:26 But I will confess his name before my Father
• 27:28 and before his angels.
• 27:30 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar
• 27:33 in the temple of my God.
• 27:34 I will write on him the name of my God
• 27:36 and the name of his city of my God,
• 27:38 the New Jerusalem, which comes down
• 27:40 out of heaven from my God, and I will write
• 27:42 on him my new name.
• 27:44 To him who overcomes, I will grant to sit
• 27:47 with me on my throne, as I also overcame
• 27:50 and sat down with my Father on his throne.'”
