Chapters

00:00 - 00:30: Invocation of the Holy Spirit and Introduction The chapter emphasizes the importance of the Holy Spirit's presence during meetings. It opens with a call for the Holy Spirit to move among the participants, highlighting the distinction between intellectual engagement and a transformative experience. The presence of the Holy Spirit is described as opening hearts and enabling profound change, as opposed to merely altering thoughts.
01:00 - 02:30: Journey Back to Biblical Egypt The chapter titled 'Journey Back to Biblical Egypt' begins with a focus on transformation and spiritual renewal. It discusses the power of the Holy Spirit to change lives, emphasizing that someone watching or attending tonight will be moved by divine grace. The narrative invites the Holy Spirit to dwell among the attendees and work within their hearts, setting the stage for a deeper discussion on the 'Temple' as the overarching topic.
02:30 - 11:00: The Significance of the Sanctuary The chapter begins by transporting readers to ancient Egypt, 3500 years ago, highlighting the incredible culture and dynasties of that era. It sets the scene in the arid desert sands, focusing on the Israelites who were in captivity and forced into labor by the Egyptians.
11:00 - 18:00: Daily and Yearly Services in the Sanctuary The chapter discusses the concept of 'Daily and Yearly Services in the Sanctuary' in a religious context. It begins by referencing the labor involved in building religious monuments, using the biblical story of Moses as an example. Moses, during his time in the wilderness, had a vision of God, who appeared to him at the burning bush. God instructed Moses to go to Pharaoh with the message to free the Israelites. Pharaoh was hesitant to release the free labor provided by the Israelites, leading God to send ten plagues upon Egypt.
18:00 - 25:00: Solomon’s Temple to Herod’s Temple The chapter discusses the Exodus of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage, highlighting miraculous events such as the parting of the Red Sea where the Israeli armies were saved, and the Egyptian armies were drowned. It touches upon their wandering in the desert and divine encounters at Mount Sinai, including God's appearance to Moses.
25:00 - 32:00: Is the Temple in Jerusalem the Focus? In this chapter titled 'Is the Temple in Jerusalem the Focus?', the focus is on the biblical narrative where God instructs Moses to build a sanctuary. This sanctuary, as described in Exodus 25:8, was meant to ensure the preservation of worship during the Israelites' time in the wilderness. The text emphasizes God's desire to dwell among His people, and He provides Moses with specific instructions and a pattern for this sanctuary, which serves as a critical point in maintaining focus on worship within the context of the Israelites' journey.
32:00 - 38:00: Jesus as the Lamb and Priest The chapter discusses the concept of the original Sanctuary located in heaven, as described in religious texts. Exodus 25:40 instructs Moses to build the Earthly Sanctuary based on the heavenly pattern shown to him during his time on the mountain. The Earthly Sanctuary was designed as a tent-like structure, reflecting the nomadic lifestyle of the Israelites as they camped around Mount Sinai. This earthly representation featured an outer court, where rituals involving sacrificial animals, such as lambs, occurred when an Israelite sinned, symbolizing the connection between Jesus as both the Lamb and priest.
38:00 - 46:00: The Judgment and Prophetic Visions In this chapter, the text describes the process of making sacrifices in the ancient Jewish tradition. Sacrifices were taken through the gate of the sanctuary to an altar of burnt offerings. Once slain, they were brought into a tent-like structure known as The Tabernacle, which was divided into two rooms: The Holy Place (outer room) and The Most Holy Place (inner room). The act of slaying the sacrifices took place in a courtyard outside The Tabernacle, before the priest took the sacrifice inside to perform the rituals.
46:00 - 61:00: Prophecy of 2300 Days and Years Explained In the chapter 'Prophecy of 2300 Days and Years Explained,' the narrative centers around the ancient ritualistic practices concerning sin and atonement. The rite involves a priest handling the blood of sacrifices, which is poured onto the golden altar and sprinkled before a veil—a symbolic separation between the holy and most sacred spaces. This setting is described as central to understanding the covenant between the divine and the Israelites, where the Ark of the Covenant resides. The example of two Israelites arguing is introduced to illustrate the broader concepts of sin, reconciliation, and divine law in ancient tradition.
61:00 - 78:00: Significance of Jesus’ Baptism and Crucifixion The chapter explores the necessity of sacrifices in biblical times, emphasizing the connection between sin and death as described in the Bible. When Adam and Eve sinned, they were separated from God, deserving death. Every sacrifice made by the Israelites looked forward to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, who would atone for the sins of the world. The narrative underscores the significance of Jesus' baptism and crucifixion as the fulfillment of these ancient sacrificial practices, symbolizing the redemption from sin.
78:00 - 100:00: Final Judgment and Living in the End Times The chapter discusses the concept of transferring the guilt of a sinner symbolically to a sacrificial lamb. The ritual involves the sinner confessing their sins, such as anger towards a friend, by placing their hands on the lamb's head, symbolically transferring their guilt to the lamb. The sinner would then sacrifice the lamb by cutting its throat, allowing its blood to flow. This process is described as a means of seeking forgiveness for sins.
100:00 - 108:00: Call to Commit to Christ In this chapter, the act of confessing sin and transferring guilt to a sacrificial animal is described. Despite the animal not being guilty of sin, it is sacrificed, symbolizing the removal of the sinner's guilt. The blood from the sacrifice is collected and used in a religious ritual, highlighting the idea of atonement through substitution.

00:00 - 00:30 Come Holy Spirit and move now Among Us I long for meetings with the Holy Spirit really moves you see if the holy spirit is not present in a meeting our messages simply touch the head and we go out maybe with different thoughts that we think but we go out the same men and women but when the spirit comes he opens the heart he touches the
00:30 - 01:00 mind he transforms the life somebody is going to be changed tonight somebody watching on television is going to be transformed by the grace of God tonight somebody sitting in some church is going to be moved by the Holy Spirit tonight come Holy Spirit dwell now amongst us do your work in our hearts and our lives that's our prayer tonight my topic tonight all eyes on the temple
01:00 - 01:30 come with me back back 3500 years we're traveling to the Arid Desert Sands of Egypt we're traveling back back to the dynasties of Egypt and that fantastic culture back to the days of Israel in that Desert Sun the Israelites were forced by the Egyptians
01:30 - 02:00 to do backbreaking labor to build those monuments you know the story well Moses wandering in the wilderness had a vision of God God appeared to Moses at the burning bush God said Moses go down and tell Pharaoh let my people go and Moses came to Pharaoh Pharaoh of course was reluctant to give up that free labor and God sent plagues 10 of them on Egypt and Israel
02:00 - 02:30 left Egyptian bondage in captivity they came across the Sinai Peninsula and as they did God miraculously opened the Red Sea the Israeli armies went through and the Egyptian armies were drowned the Israelites wandered in the Arid Barren desert land of Si as they came to Mount Si God again appeared to Moses and God
02:30 - 03:00 spoke to Moses God wanted to ensure that worship would be preserved through their Wilderness wanderings so from si in the thunderous voice of God God said to Moses Exodus 25:8 let's read it together let them make me a sanctuary that I might dwell among them God gave Moses the pattern of that Sanctuary it was the pattern of the
03:00 - 03:30 great original Sanctuary that was up in heaven in fact Exodus 25 and: 40 says Moses build the sanctuary according to the pattern that I've shown you in the mountain that Earthly Sanctuary was a tent likee structure as Israel encamped round about Mount Si in their tents God said build a sanctuary that Sanctuary had an outer Court when an Israeli sined he would bring a land
03:30 - 04:00 take it through the gate of the sanctuary before this altar of burnt sacrifice here once the sacrifice was slain it would be brought into this tent-like structure called The Tabernacle this Tabernacle or tent had two rooms the outer room was called The Holy place the Inner Room was called the most holy place the Jews would slay the sacrifice in the court outside the Tabernacle the priest would take the
04:00 - 04:30 blood in the Basin and he would take that blood pour some of it out here on the horns of this golden Altar and then the priest would go before the veil that Veil that separated the two rooms the holy and the most holy place and the priest would sprinkle blood before the veil on the other side of the veil was what was known as the Ark of the Covenant now when an Israelite sinned let's suppose here are two Israelites they get in an argument they debate they
04:30 - 05:00 fight one reaches out and hits the other it was necessary to bring a lamb sacrifice because the Bible says the wages of sin is what the wage of sin is is death so sin brings death when Adam and Eve sinned they were separated from God they deserve to die every sacrifice looked forward to the coming of Jesus that would be the sacrifice for the world for the sins of the world so the Israelite would come with his sacrifice
05:00 - 05:30 the sinner's guilt was symbolically transferred to the perfect lamb The Sinner would put his hands over the head of the sacrifice suppose he he had hit his friend in the face he would say dear Lord I've sinned dear Lord I got angry with my friend dear Lord forgive my sins and as he prayed the guilt of the sin would be transferred symbolically to the sacrifice The Sinner then would take his knife he would cut the sacrifices throat blood would flow over the legs of the
05:30 - 06:00 one who had sinned it would spurt on the ground and as it did the animal would quiver and die the animal hadn't sinned the man sinned but as the man confessed his sin the sin's guilt would be transferred symbolically to that sacrifice The Sinner then would come as the perfect lamb was slain its blood would be caught in a basin the priest would take the blood in that Basin and he'd bring it in to the sanctuary and
06:00 - 06:30 the sinner's guilt was symbolically transferred to the perfect lamb you see the lamb had to be without spot or blemish when the lamb died it was as if the sinner was dying it was as if this lamb was taking the place of The Sinner and the death he deserved to Die the Bible says that every lamb pointed forward to Jesus Christ Our lamb you see either you and I bear our own guilt or somebody else Bears our guilt when Jesus
06:30 - 07:00 died on the cross he bore the guilt of the condemnation of our sins I mean think of this man at the sanctuary he comes to the sanctuary with his lamb he's all burdened down he's gotten angry he has yelled at his wife he's hit his neighbor I mean this big burden of guilt is upon him the man can hardly walk the accusing voices are in his head you shouldn't have done that the accusing voices say you deserve to die the accusing voices say to him
07:00 - 07:30 that he will go into the grave and never come out because he's a sinner he brings his lamb he confesses his sin over the head of the lamb and as he does symbolically he imagines his sin being transferred to Christ symbolically he imagines that the guilt of that sin is placed on Jesus his Lamb on the cross he comes to the sanctuary with a broken heart weighed down with guilt he leaves the sanctuary
07:30 - 08:00 singing because Jesus his lamb symbolically has died for him ladies and gentlemen are you bearing your own guilt bearing the condemnation bearing the shame you know you haven't been living right you see if you if you if you deny that guilt that guilt will either give you a nervous breakdown it give you stomach ulcers give you a heart attack the more we try to repress guilt the more guilt affects us internally there's a way to do deal with guilt some people
08:00 - 08:30 try to deal with guilt with pills they pill in day in and day out they take anti-depressants to try to repress the guilt that is in the fabric of the soul but Jesus says come to me kneel before me let me take the burden of guilt off your shoulder let me take all that condemnation away let me take all that shame away that's what was going on in this San uary of old sinners would come
08:30 - 09:00 with their guilt Sinners would come kneeling and they would sense that burden of guilt off their shoulders because that lamb died for them in the sanctuary there were two Services a daily service and a yearly Services how many services two what were they called The Daily and the yearly every day Lambs were slain every day the priest took the blood into the first room of the the sanctuary that was
09:00 - 09:30 called The Holy place every day that blood was sprinkled before the veil on the other side of the veil was the law of God but once a year something unique happened in that Sanctuary trumpets were blown 10 days before a special day called the day of atonement y kipur trumpets were blown all of Israel whatever they were doing left their businesses they left their work this day was no longer business as usual this day was no longer Pleasures as usual this
09:30 - 10:00 was a very unique day on this day the high priest entered into the second apartment of that Sanctuary known as the most holy place in that most holy place was the Ark of the Covenant where the law of God was that law that's the very Foundation of God's Throne that law that every one of us had broken over that law there were Golden Angels representing the Heavenly being
10:00 - 10:30 that look in around the Throne of God between those two cherubims was the shakina glory or the very presence of God the high priest entered into the presence of God here on this last air this this last time of the Jewish year here in this day of atonement here on Yan kipor the high priest enters into the presence of God for the first time that year here there is a day of judgment here there is a day that all of Israel Gathers around anybody that did not gather around that
10:30 - 11:00 Sanctuary any Israelite that didn't any Israelite that did not confess their sins any Israelite that did not repent would be cut off they would be judged and they would be separated from the camp of Israel this high priest would go and sprinkle the blood between the two angels and as he did this service would be called the day of atonement the day that all Israel was made at one with God it would be called the day of cleansing
11:00 - 11:30 the day all Israel gathered around the sanctuary and asked God to cleanse their hearts this would be a unique day it would be a day of judgment called the day of atonement look at that word atonement carefully atonement is at one meant this was the day no longer business as usual this was the day the time of the end the day of judgment the day of the cleansing of the sanctuary
11:30 - 12:00 the last day of the the last period of time of the Jewish year where all of Israel had this last opportunity this final opportunity before the year finally ended to be sure their hearts were W with God on the day of atonement at the end of the Jewish year when the high priest entered the most holy place of the sanctuary God called Israel to repentance he called Israel to confession he called called them to come
12:00 - 12:30 and open their hearts to him it was the most solemn day of the year a day of judgment this service took place at the end of each year all through the time the 40 years that Israel wandered in the wilderness when Israel wandered in the wilderness every day Lambs were offered up representing Christ when Israel wandered in the wilderness every day the priest went into the sanctuary representing Jesus who ascended to heaven for us every year this day of
12:30 - 13:00 judgment took place to remind Israel that one day before Jesus came there'd be a final day of judgment where men and women were called to open their hearts to him completely when Israel left their period of wandering in the wilderness after they entered the promised land the Wilderness Sanctuary eventually was replaced by Solomon's magnificent Temple they weren't wandering in the wilderness now they need a more permanent structure
13:00 - 13:30 so God commanded David and after his sin later Solomon to build that magnificent Temple Solomon's Temple was indeed glorious and mighty and significant as Solomon built that Temple it was really one of the most magnificent wonders in the world but here in Solomon's Temple it had the same structure as that tent-like structure that the Israelites wandered with in the Wilderness in that
13:30 - 14:00 structure there was a court so again in Solomon's Temple there was a court in the Earthly Tabernacle in the wilderness animals were slain again in Solomon's Temple animals were slain in the court there was in Solomon's Temple the holy place where the priest ministered every day and the most holy place and there was this day of judgment service at the end of the Jewish year Solomon's Temple was attacked by King Nebuchadnezzar and
14:00 - 14:30 Nebuchadnezzar was a what nation was Nebuchadnezzar the king of you know what was it Babylon Nebuchadnezzar attacked Jerusalem he destroyed that Temple and over the centuries after Nebuchadnezzar destroyed it and after the Babylonian captivity was over after the Jews came back they rebuilt that Temple Solomon's Temple and repaired it on a number of occasions but it was not until the days of Herod the Great great it was not till
14:30 - 15:00 the early Roman period where Herod restored the temple Herod took 46 years to complete This Magnificent structure now Herod was very favorable to the Jews and so he wanted to leave a lasting monument and so he rebuilt this Jewish temple and again sacrifices were offered in the court again the high priest the priest took the blood and brought it into the sanctuary again once a year there was this day of
15:00 - 15:30 judgment reminding us of the final judgment after the nation of Israel and its religious leaders rejected the Messiah Jesus Christ God allowed Israel to be overthrown by the Roman armies the temple was destroyed in ad70 by the Romans Jesus sat upon the Mount of Olives and looked over the city of
15:30 - 16:00 Jerusalem and as the Messiah looked over the city of Jerusalem in prophetic Vision he saw the Roman armies coming to destroy that Temple now here's the question will the temple at Jerusalem ever be rebuilt should our eyes be focused on Jerusalem today will the Jewish temple at Jerusalem ever be rebuilt is this Temple the focus of our attention in the last days let's go back and look at what Jesus
16:00 - 16:30 said should our eyes be on the temple at Jerusalem today or maybe there's another Temple a temple that is even more significant and a temple that plays a prominent part in end time events where should our eyes be focused today all eyes on the temple yes but what Temple what did Jesus say about the temple Temple Matthew 23:37 and 38 read
16:30 - 17:00 it with me please oh Jerusalem Jerusalem the one who kills the prophets and Stones those who are sent to her how often I wanted to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings but you were not willing see your house is Left To You desolate another word for house is Temple or sanctuary so Jesus said Israel Israel I
17:00 - 17:30 wanted to gather you together but you would not your house your temple is left desolate when Christ was when Christ died on the cross the veil in the temple was split in two the veil that separated the most holy place where the shakina glory of God was that Veil between the most holy place and the holy place was split in two when Jesus died on the cross never again would be
17:30 - 18:00 Lambs offered at that Sanctuary because Jesus the Lamb of God was offered for us we do not come and bring an Earthly lamb today we come to our divine lamb Jesus Christ in our imagination we see him dying on the cross you know we confess our sins we see them placed upon Jesus who died on calvary's cross for us although the Earthly Temple has been destroyed God does direct our eyes to
18:00 - 18:30 another Temple Jesus is not only our dying lamb Jesus is our living priest the Christ who died is the Christ that lives all eyes on the temple yes but what Temple Ro Hebrews chapter 8 verse 1 and two read it with me now this is the main point the what point everybody the main point of the things we are saying we have such a what high priest who is
18:30 - 19:00 seated at the right hand of the Throne of the Majesty in the heavens a minister of the sanctuary and of the true Tabernacle which the Lord erected not man did man erected erect an Earthly Tabernacle did he sure it was that tent-like structure it was the Tabernacle in Solomon's day it was the Tabernacle in the first century that Tabernacle was destroyed all eyes on the temple is there a true Temple today is there does the Bible talk about that
19:00 - 19:30 true Temple who is ministering up there in that true Temple Jesus do we need a dying lamb today yes Jesus Is That Dying lamb not a not a literal lamb Jesus is our lamb do we need a priest today yes where is our priest he's up there in heaven Jesus is our priest up in the Heavenly Tabernacle all eyes on the temple but wait a minute wait a minute
19:30 - 20:00 if Jesus died for us if Jesus ascended to heaven for us if just like after the lamb was slain in the court of the Earthly Sanctuary the priest entered the holy place in the Earthly Sanctuary Jesus left the Tabernacle of Heaven Jesus left the sanctuary of Heaven he came to the court of this world the cross was set up in the court of this world but just as the Earthly priest entered into the holy place of the sanctuary after the sacrifice was slain
20:00 - 20:30 Jesus has entered in to Heaven's Sanctuary for us we can come to him what need do you have in your life what heartache are you facing what disappointment are you facing what shackles bind you tonight we have a living high priest he's alive we can come to him our sins can be forgiven we can come to him the power of the living Christ can flow into our lives lives he is our high priest in the sanctuary
20:30 - 21:00 above in heaven he's the one that died for us but he is the one that lives for us he knows your name he understands your Sorrows he understands the sins that shackle you and bind you and Christ can set you free but wait a minute once a year the high priest entered into that Inner Room Before the Throne of God it
21:00 - 21:30 was a day of judgment all Israel gathered around symbolically Jesus is the dying lamb he came to the court of this world and died symbolically Jesus was represented in every priest of Israel that went to the holy Place Jesus ascended to the holy place of heaven but what about what about this when the priest of Israel moved into the most holy place
21:30 - 22:00 what about that day of judgment in Israel could it be that our high priest Jesus is in his final work of judgment just before coming could it be that what was symbolized on this day of atonement this day of judgment in Israel this last part of the Jewish year could it be that all of humanity has entered into this judgment hour period Jesus offers the merits of his
22:00 - 22:30 blood in our behalf in heaven but could it be that we are in the final days of Earth's history Three Angels fly in mid Heaven they fly announcing something unique and special they cry out that the clock has struck the hour the Bible says Revelation 14: 6 and 7 then I saw another Angel flying in the middle of Heaven have having the Everlasting gospel the good news that Jesus pardons
22:30 - 23:00 from sin the good news that he's our Savior and Lord but notice what this last day message to all Humanity says to preach to those who dwell on the earth to Every Nation tribe tongue and people this is a message that leaps across geographical boundaries it's a message that breaks all linguistic barriers it's a message to Every Nation every tribe every tongue every people what is this last day message message what does it say saying with a what voice saying with
23:00 - 23:30 a what voice fear God and give glory to him obey God give him glory in the way you live why for the hour of his judgment what has come could it be that the clock has struck the hour that we're living in the Judgment hour now follow me closely the Bible says no man knows the day or hour of Christ's coming anybody that tells you they think they know the day or the hour of Christ coming that's not true at all because the Bible says
23:30 - 24:00 nobody knows that but could it be that we're actually living in the Judgment hour that the Bible predicts the time period known as the time of the end Noah preached for 120 years that a flood was coming and all during that 120 years that was a period known as the time of the end of Noah's day could it be that the time prophecies of the Bible point to this as being a time of the end could
24:00 - 24:30 it be that just as ancient Israel gathered around an Earthly Sanctuary that all Humanity today is to gather around that Heavenly Sanctuary to open our hearts to the cleansing of God's spirit to confess our sin to be sure that our lives are right with Christ who will take us through that final judgment could it be this is the time that God is calling all Humanity to worship Him who made Heaven Earth the Sea and the Springs of waters could it be that we are being called now to open our hearts to God to worship the one that made us
24:30 - 25:00 to be sure that there's nothing between our soul and our savior nothing between us in Christ Daniel is the prophetic book of the Old Testament Revelations the prophetic book of the New Testament and Daniel looks up into heaven and sees this final judgment scene Daniel in his prayers writes these words of the vision he saw while praying Daniel says in the Book of Daniel the 7th chapter
25:00 - 25:30 verse 9 and 10 he says I watched till Thrones were put in place and the Ancient of Days was seated who is that the Ancient of Days who is that God the father so God the Father seated His Garment was white as snow what's going on when God the father is seated the hair of his head was like pure wool his throne like the fiery flame its Wheels a burning fire god Daniel sees sits upon on his throne then Daniel
25:30 - 26:00 says as he looks at that Throne a thousand thousands ministered to him 10,000 times 10,000 stood before him what a scene this is God sits upon his throne fiery pin Wheels surround God's Throne the Throne of God is illuminated with the very glorious glory of God it's an amazing setting 10,000 times 10,000 angels press in around God's thr the Destinies of all Humanity are be to
26:00 - 26:30 be settled this is the sitting of the Supreme Court of the universe the great controversy between good and evil is to be ended sin is to be done away with forever the Bible says the court was seated the Supreme Court of the universe was seated all of Heaven is focused its intense interest around the Throne of God and the books were opened the books of judgment are open the Destinies of all mankind are going
26:30 - 27:00 to be settled Jesus is going to open the books before the whole universe and the whole universe will see that Jesus has done everything he could to save every human being the whole universe will see that there's nothing more God could have done to save human beings the universe will see that if men and women are lost they're lost not because Jesus did not provide Grace but they're lost because men and women turned their backs on that Grace and walked away from that Grace yes sin brings death but Jesus Christ
27:00 - 27:30 brings life one night Martin Luther was sleeping and he had a dream and in his dream he saw the devil the devil appeared in this hideous form before him and the devil had a scroll and the devil unrolled that scroll and on that scroll were all of Martin Luther's sins he trembled and the devil said to Luther are those your sins and Luther said yes they are is this when you lied yes this when you had imp your thoughts yes this when you were selfish yes this when you
27:30 - 28:00 were critical yes and the devil said to Luther what does the Bible say about Sin the wages of sin are and Martin Luther trembled and he said death you deserve to die and you're going to go into the grave and never ever come out and Luther said he laid on his fed and he just trembled in the darkness and discourage swept over him he knew he had sinned and he was filled with guilt maybe you think about the Judgment bar of God maybe you think about this scene in Daniel maybe you think about
28:00 - 28:30 the thousands pressing around God's Throne you think about the day the books are open and maybe you can identify with Luther and you just shake and quiver and say I can never pass God's judgment in that dream Luther saw the scroll of his sins unfolded but then he saw something interesting the devil's hand was on the top of the scroll and Luther said to the devil move your hand and the devil said no and Luther said to the the devil move your hand and the devil said no in the
28:30 - 29:00 name of Jesus Christ move your hand and the devil moved his hand and at the top of the scroll it said the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses Martin Luther from all his sin ladies and gentlemen tonight if your name comes before the Judgment bar of God alone you are condemned to Eternal death because even one sin is sufficient
29:00 - 29:30 enough to bring Eternal death but if you come before the Judgment bar of God in Jesus Christ he stands and represents you there in myself I am lost in myself there's no possibility for me to be saved but in Jesus there's no possibility for me to be lost in Jesus we can stand before the Judgment by of
29:30 - 30:00 God the court was seated the books were open in that Supreme judgment just before the coming of Jesus the Judgment sits because the Bible says that when Jesus comes Revelation 22:12 my reward is with me to give everyone according to his work and so if Jesus is coming to give out the rewards there must be a judgment before he comes to determine who receives what reward when he comes in fact the Bible
30:00 - 30:30 says Jesus himself says in Matthew 16:27 for the son of man will come in the glory of his father with his angels and then he will reward each according to his Works Jesus comes to give out the rewards before he comes the time of the end takes place before he comes all humanity is summoned to the Judgment bar of God to have their hearts right with God because he's coming to give out the reward Lords one day the Destinies of
30:30 - 31:00 all Humanity will be settled at the Judgment bar of God could it be that the clock has struck the hour could it be that you and I are living in that judgment hour right now when does this judgment take place Daniel 7 shows you the picture of the Judgment scene but Daniel 7 does not tell you the time of the Judgment we come to Daniel the8th chapter and God gets our eyes off Earth he focuses them on heaven and he talks about the judgment he talks about the time of the end he talks about the
31:00 - 31:30 cleansing of the sanctuary just as Israel's Sanctuary was cleansed as all Israel gathered around just as that was the end of the Jewish year just as it represented the end of sin and the cleansing of the universe the Bible says unto 2,000 the Bible tells us Daniel chapter 8:14 for 2,300 days then the sanctuary will be cleansed 2,300 days Sanctuary cleansed something takes place in heaven
31:30 - 32:00 2,300 days from Daniel's time the prophecy the angel Gabriel says to Daniel Daniel look 2,300 days in the future then you'll see the end of the reign of sin then you'll see the final judgment then you'll see the time of the end the Bible does not predict the date of the end it does tell us though about a great epic period called the time of the end called the time of the cleansing of the sanctuary called the time of the final judgment what does it mean though
32:00 - 32:30 2,300 days wow if you take 365 days in a year you divide it into 2300 I mean that's about six years or so the Bible talks about the cleansing of the sanctuary in the Old Testament as a symbol of the final work of judgment just prior to Christ's coming this final period of time but again these 2,300 days what's that all about what's the meaning of these 2300 days in the Bible you have symbols that are used when time
32:30 - 33:00 periods are put in the midst of symbols the time periods become symbolic for example in Daniel chapter 7 we read about a lion with Eagle's Wings that's a symbol of Babylon we read about a bear with three ribs in its mouth a symbol the Bible says a meet of Persia about a leopard the symbol of Grecia about a beast that's a symbol of Rome when we read about time periods in Prophecy in in the Bible the Bible helps us to explain those time periods here it is
33:00 - 33:30 Daniel 8:1 16-1 17 Gabriel make this man what understand the vision somebody says I don't quite understand this 2,300 years I don't quite understand this period of the time of the end that's why God sent Gabriel to Daniel to explain it to Daniel and explain it to you and me Gabriel make this man understand the vision see prophecy is not a private interpretation Gabriel's explaining it so he came near where I stood and when he came near I was afraid fell in my
33:30 - 34:00 face and he said to me why if Gabriel came near me in prayer I'd be afraid too wouldn't you glorious presence of God but Gabriel explains it and he says to Daniel understand son of man read it with me please understand son of man that the vision refers to the time of the end so the 2300 years or the 2300 days refers to the time of the end so we
34:00 - 34:30 know that Daniel's prophecy about the cleansing of the sanctuary about the final judgment relates to applies to according to Gabriel to what period of time everybody what period of time the time of the end now in Bible prophecy we've seen that this Vision applies to three things first the End of Time secondly we've seen that this Vision talks about a sanctuary up in heaven it
34:30 - 35:00 talks about the final judgment or the final cleansing of the universe the it talks about this final period known as the end time and judgment period the 2300 days could not be literal because if they were literal they'd take us six years plus Beyond Daniel's time and that doesn't take us down to a time period known as the time of the end so if this period couldn't be a literal period if it must be symbolic what are these 2300
35:00 - 35:30 days symbolic of Ezekiel was a contemporary of Daniel he gives us a prophetic key to unlock the mystery of time prophecy Ezekiel 4: six let's read it together I have laid on you a day for each year now in the Bible a day represents a day seven days of creation week represent 7 24-hour periods but when you have the prophecies symbolic
35:30 - 36:00 Prophecies of Daniel and Revelation in those prophecies one prophetic day equals one literal year so the 2300 days then must equal 2300 not literal days but the 2300 days represent 20 300 literal years that makes sense from
36:00 - 36:30 Daniel's day who lived about 600 years before Christ down to the time of the end would be 2300 years now the amazing thing about this Prophecy of the 2300 years is that it tells you certain events that would take place along the timeline of this prophecy this prophecy is an amazing prophecy it's one of the most incredible
36:30 - 37:00 prophecies in all the Bible tonight I am going to show you some things that are absolutely amazing the first part of this prophecy applies to the Jewish Nation this prophecy given to Daniel applies the first initial part to God's people but the prophecy tells you the exact date for certain events in the life of Jesus Christ the Messiah it tells you the exact date that Jesus Christ would be baptized hundreds of
37:00 - 37:30 years in advance it tells you the exact date that Jesus Christ would be crucified hundreds of years in advance this prophecy tonight tells you the exact date that the Jewish priests would reject the Messiah in a covenant lawsuit against Jesus the exact date that Steven would be stoned the exact date The Gospel would go to the Gentiles and this prophecy tells you tonight the exact date that a time period known
37:30 - 38:00 as the time of the end would begin the exact date that Jesus would enter into his final work of judgment the exact period of time that God would be calling all Humanity back to give their hearts to him this is an amazing prophecy now let's look at the prophecy tonight let's study every piece of the prophecy carefully the fir the larger part of the prophecy is 2,300 days or 2300 what everybody years now the first part of
38:00 - 38:30 that prophecy God says Daniel 9:4 70 weeks are determined for your people and for the holy city so 70 weeks of these 2300 days are determined for God's people or for his holy city who are who are D what's Daniel's holy city Daniel's city is what Jerusalem the angel Gabriel says to Daniel 70 weeks are determined on your city that is Jerusalem 70 weeks are determined or the
38:30 - 39:00 first part of the prophecy on your people the Jews so the first part of this prophecy the 70 weeks relate especially to Jerusalem they relate especially to Daniel's people the Jews so if you look at the prophecy Daniel 9: 24 let's read it together 70 weeks are determined now the word determined means what cut off for your people and for your holy city so 70 weeks are cut off
39:00 - 39:30 from the larger period of the 2300 days they apply to the Jewish Nation according to the Bible now let's discover how long these 70 weeks are how many days are in a week how many days in a week boy this is a good class didn't I tell you prophecy was easy how many days in a week everybody 70 okay get ready you're going to help me do some math 70 days in a week so if 70 days are in a
39:30 - 40:00 week we need to find out how many days are in 70 weeks we got to multiply 7 time 7 do you need to help me here 7 time Z or what zero that was good 7 time 7 are what 49 so how many days in 70 weeks 490 prophetic what days but in the Bible one prophetic day equals a what year so we have 490 years that relate to Daniel's people and who are Daniel's people the Jews 490 years that relate to
40:00 - 40:30 who Jerusalem so you have a longer prophecy that is the 2300 years or 2300 prophetic days 2300 literal years the first part of that prophecy the 490 prophetic days or the 490 literal years relate to the Jews if we put it on a graph we look at it like this there is the longer prophecy that takes us down to the cleansing of the sanctuary the
40:30 - 41:00 time of the end the period of judgment there is the shorter prophecy that is the 490 years of that longer prophecy the first 490 years relate to Daniel's people they relate to the Jews so you have a prophecy really with two parts the first 490 Years Part One the last 1810 Years Part Two 490 and 1810 make up the 2,300 years so let's look at the
41:00 - 41:30 first part of the prophecy that relates to Jesus and the Jews this prophecy is so incredibly powerful that it has caused more atheists and more Skeptics to become Christians than any other single Prophecy in the Bible atheists looking at this prophecy stand back and say the evidence that the Bible is inspired is overwhelming the mathem matical Precision of this prophecy staggers the imagination let's
41:30 - 42:00 look at the mathematical Precision of the prophecy now somebody said if the shoe fits if the shoe fits put it on or do what wear it how do we know this prophecy is true because as you plug in the numbers every one of them comes out right on target let's look at it tonight we first need to know something about when the prophecy starts
42:00 - 42:30 if you don't know the starting point of the prophecy you can't figure it out at all so when does the prophecy start does Daniel tell us when the prophecy starts indeed he does Daniel 9:2 know therefore and understand when the angel Gabriel says know and understand I want to know and understand don't you know and understand from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem here is the starting point when Daniel received the prophecy some 600 years before Christ when Daniel
42:30 - 43:00 received that prophecy he was in captivity in Babylonian captivity the temple was in Ruins Jesus said Daniel I want your people to know and understand this when the command Goes Forth to restore and build Jerusalem unto Messiah the prince when that command Goes Forth from that time unto Messiah shall be a certain period of
43:00 - 43:30 time now notice that decree would go forth as I'll show you in 457 BC that command to restore and build Jerusalem would go forth then it would be a decree of our Xerxes the Great and the angel said Daniel when you see this prophecy go forth when you see the command to restore and build Jerusalem that decree going forth by exer our exercis I want I want you to know something Daniel and here is what I want you to know Daniel
43:30 - 44:00 this is what I will reveal to you in your prayer life know therefore and understand from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem from 457 BC before Christ until Messiah the prince who is Messiah the prince who's Messiah who is that Jesus shall be seven weeks and 62 weeks so how much is 7 and 62 how much is that 69 so he says know therefore and understand from the
44:00 - 44:30 Commandment to restore and build Jerusalem from 457 BC from that anchor in history until the Messiah but wait a minute what does the word messiah mean Messiah means what everybody the anointed one when was Jesus Christ anointed at his baptism the Bible says he was anointed by the Holy Spirit what an amazing Prophecy from 457 BC that's 457 years before Christ when that W of Jerusalem would be rebuilt until the Messiah would be
44:30 - 45:00 baptized would be 69 prophetic weeks let's see if we can figure that out 69 prophetic weeks we are going down the stream of time we are looking for if we can figure out when the Messiah would be baptized we need to do some math again we've got no therefore for an understand from the going forth a decree to rebuild Jerusalem would be 69 weeks how many days in a week what a class s days in a
45:00 - 45:30 week still there 7 time 9 are what everybody 63 got to carry my six 7 time 6 or what 42 and six 483 prophetic days but in the Bible a day represents a what year so if I'm back over here in history at 457 BC I've got to go forward on the timeline 483 what years and that should take me exactly to the year that the Messiah was
45:30 - 46:00 baptized not only that this decree went forth in the fall of the year so if I go forward 483 Falls from 457 it'll take me to a certain year in the fall 457 BC 69 weeks forward or 483 years forward what year would that take me to exactly the full of 27 ad somebody says run that by me again how do you
46:00 - 46:30 calculate that well all right if we're going to run that by you again we better do something we better get out our calculator you got your calculator you're ready to go here we go okay if I have a calculator I'm figuring this thing out if the decree Goes Forth in 457 BC before Christ if I've got to go forward on the timeline 483 years let's suppose that I subtract 457 from 483 7 from 13
46:30 - 47:00 goes six and two from 7 goes two so if I were going forward on the timeline from 457 if I were using my calculator and I were and I were 457 way in this direction and I'm going down down down down down and if I were going 457 years I would go to zero right 4 minus 457 would go down to zero but wait a minute in history there was one BC and
47:00 - 47:30 one what ad so there's no what zero year so if I'm 457 way back this way 456 takes me to 1 457 takes me to one 1 AD but I don't want to go 457 I want to go 483 because the Bible says know therefore and understand from the going fourth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem under Messiah the prince is 69 weeks 7 time 6 9 of 483 so I have to go not 457 to 1 but I
47:30 - 48:00 have to go 26 Beyond because I got to go to 483 so 1 and 27 are how much I mean 1 and 26 or how much 27 so I would come according to this prophecy exactly to the year 27 ad what happened in 27 ad let's look and see if we can find out this is amazing this is an absolutely prophecy that is precise look Luke 3: 21
48:00 - 48:30 when all the people were baptized it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized what year was this we the Bible tells us exactly we don't have to guess in the 15th year of the reign of tiberious Caesar when was that 27 ad Christ is the Messiah baptized exactly on time exactly like the Bible said he would be but our prophecy is even more amazing because the first
48:30 - 49:00 490 years apply to the Jews the second 1810 years take us down to the opening of the Judgment we've gone 483 years the Messiah is baptized in 27 ad but to complete the 490 we have seven more years right here what would happen during those seven years the Bible says Daniel 9: 26 and after the 62 weeks after 27 ad Messiah shall be what cut off who is the Messiah
49:00 - 49:30 what does it mean that he'd be cut off crucified so sometime after this period he'd be crucified when would he be crucified does the bible tell us he shall confirm the Covenant with many for one week at the end of the last seven years he would confirm his Covenant with the Jewish nation and the gospel would go to the Gentiles what would happen in the middle of that last week how many days in a week seven what would happen in the middle of that last week the
49:30 - 50:00 Bible tells us there would be seven additional years after the 483 to complete the 490 that would relate to the Jews but in the middle of that last week something would happen what would it be he shall confirm the Covenant with many for one week and notice in the middle of the week he'll bring the sacrifice and offering to cease when Jesus Christ died on the cross what ceased the sacrifice and offering no more lamb sacrifices when would he bring
50:00 - 50:30 them to cease in the middle of the week what is half a seven three and a half so if I'm in the fall of 27 ad and I go three years it's the fall of 30 but six months after the fall of 30 takes me to the spring of 31 Jesus Christ was 33 years old in the spring of 31 ad in the spring of 31 ad when Christ was 31 33 years old he was crucified
50:30 - 51:00 exactly like the Bible predicted on the Passover the prophecy is EXA is exact Jesus would be baptized on time Jesus would be crucified on time 31 ad the spring the Passover Lamb was to be slain the priest went to slay the Passover Lamb the temple veil split in two Jesus said your house is left unto you desolate Jesus the Messiah of the world
51:00 - 51:30 Died For All Mankind then exactly like predicted Jesus is more than a good man Jesus is more than an ethical philosopher he is the Messiah that died on time Daniel 9 is about Jesus Christ Our Messiah the one who seals the Covenant with his eternal Everlasting blood this is the blood of the New Covenant which is shed for many for the remission of sins our sins can be forgiven Jesus has stamped his mark on
51:30 - 52:00 History Our Lives can be changed by the living Christ Christ was crucified exactly on time you know when you look at the New Testament the New Testament understood these prophecies look Galatians 4:4 when the fullness of time had come God sent forth his son the fullness of Daniel's prophecies was fulfilled when Jesus was baptized in Mar Mark 1:1 15 he referred to Daniel's prophecy he said the time is what
52:00 - 52:30 everybody fulfilled Jesus understood the destiny that God had anointed him for when Christ died the Bible says in Romans 5:6 in due time what's that mean in due time what's that mean at the right time at the appropriate time in due time Christ died for the ungodly all of these events in history were not accidental events they were all
52:30 - 53:00 part of a Divine timetable all part of a Divine scenario Christ was baptized on time Christ was crucified on time now the Bible says that that seven-year period would run out and as that seven-year period would run out Jesus crucified on time Jesus rose from the dead on time Jesus ascended on time Jesus our high priest ministering to us in
53:00 - 53:30 heaven at the end of that 7year period 3 and a half years from 31 ad we come to the fall of 34 what happened in the fall of 34 ad it was exactly in that year that Stephen was stoned and the high priest of Israel gave a speech in which he formally rejected the Messiah on behalf of the priests of Israel from that that time from 34 ad the gospel
53:30 - 54:00 went out to the Gentile world now of course since that time Jew and Gentile both all Humanity can can reach out for the grace of Christ and I thank God that many of my Israeli friends are coming to Jesus Christ I thank God that many are are accepting the Messiah since 34 ad the gospel El that was once given to the Jewish nation in
54:00 - 54:30 Jesus Christ now it's given to all humanity and it's going around the world but wait a minute we're looking at a prophecy the first 490 years of this prophecy run out in 34 ad but this prophecy says 70 weeks are cut off are determined for your people the Jews for your Holy City Jerusalem but then the Bible says after those first 490 years after part
54:30 - 55:00 one this part 490 years are cut off from the larger 2300 years 490 years read out in 34 ad that means that of that prophecy there is a second part 1,1 years would be left to complete the 2300 years 490 years relate to the Jews 1,800 year and 10 years from 34 ad
55:00 - 55:30 would take us down to the time of the end what then does this mean it means that since 1844 you and I have been living living at a time that the Bible period calls the time of the end somebody said but but wait a minute Pastor that's a long time that's 160 for our years or more wait a minute Noah preached for 120
55:30 - 56:00 years the world's much larger today isn't it the Bible does not tell us when the end will come it doesn't tell us how long this time period of the end is but it does tell us for 164 years we've been living in what the Bible calls the Judgment hour the Bible says for 2,300 days then the sanctuary would be cleansed then the judgement would occur then Jesus would enter into his final
56:00 - 56:30 work the 2300 years ran out we're living right down at the time of the end since 1844 we've been living in God's judgment hour you and I need not fear the Judgment if Jesus is filling our life filling our heart but this is a time to open your heart to Christ This is a time to be sure that there is nothing between you and Jesus this is no time for fooling around this is no time time for Pleasures as usual this is no time for
56:30 - 57:00 business as usual this is God's Final Call Revelation chapter 14 says fear God give glory to him for the hour of his judgment what is revelation message everybody it is the hour of God's judgment what has come we are living at a time that God is calling us to make our hearts right with him we're living at a time when the Destinies of all Humanity will will soon be settled we're living at a time when God is calling us
57:00 - 57:30 to make our final irrevocable decisions for him we need not be lost the arms of Christ are open and in Heaven's final judgment the books of record will be opened and Jesus will say before the whole universe is there anything else I could have done to save John or Mary and the universe will say Lord you could not have done another thing your love was enough he will only represent me in the
57:30 - 58:00 final judgment if I let him he'll only represent me in the final judgment if I ask him to a number of years ago Dwight Moody that great preacher was preaching and as Moody preached he powerfully moved his audience and at the end of the sermon thousands of people were going out the door and there was a mother that wanted her little boy to meet Dwight Moody so she brought the boy to Moody and she saidon shake the great preacher's hand and the little kid went
58:00 - 58:30 like this shook his fist and the mother was embarrassed she said Son you may never have a chance to meet Pastor Moody again shake his hand the kid put his hand behind his back like that and the mother took his hand and began the fingers come on shake his hand and she found the boy had in his hand a little marble the boy thought Moody was going to take his marble and he wouldn't open his hand have you been holding on to your marbles Jesus I can't give up my
58:30 - 59:00 marbles Jesus they're too important to me you know the strange thing the things we hold on to that separate us from Christ we're going to lose them in the end anyway and the things that we give to him he'll give us back don't hold on to your marbles my friend Christ is speaking to you tonight when the time comes I want to be
59:00 - 59:30 ready when the time comes I want to know I am his and he is mine as Charles and Christine sing why not open your heart to this Christ right now and say Jesus we're living in the Judgment hour the final hours I open my heart to you I want you to represent me in the Judgment I don't want to hold on to these little marbles any longer cleanse me
