00:00:09.529 --> 00:00:13.230
Well, good morning, it's good to see everyone once again.

2
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:15.490
Good morning also from my side this time.

3
00:00:15.630 --> 00:00:19.010
Yes, we're doing things a little bit differently.

4
00:00:19.530 --> 00:00:27.619
We're going to try this out where we know we're transitioning into a
new time and we know that

5
00:00:27.629 --> 00:00:35.450
many of you have questions and so today we're going to anticipate some
of those questions.

6
00:00:36.070 --> 00:00:46.770
Then maybe you can submit some questions also and then next week we
can talk about some of those as well.

7
00:00:46.780 --> 00:00:57.369
So today we have not just myself but Brother Gerhard with us and he
will be helping in the conversation.

8
00:00:57.780 --> 00:00:58.247
Amen.

9
00:00:58.257 --> 00:01:04.056
So Brother Ray already introduced a little bit this new setup.

10
00:01:04.066 --> 00:01:05.187
As you know,

11
00:01:05.197 --> 00:01:13.555
at least when you followed our last sermons--and I think there are
over 40 sermons in the

12
00:01:13.565 --> 00:01:21.349
last months we produced for you--you know that we started to come into
a new time.

13
00:01:21.829 --> 00:01:32.675
The past time was the time of the sign of the Son of Man, if you will,
and this ended some days ago, May 28th.

14
00:01:32.685 --> 00:01:36.925
and now we are in the time of the 372 days.

15
00:01:36.935 --> 00:01:47.865
Now we received many questions from you and therefore we want to
clarify some things or to explain them better,

16
00:01:47.875 --> 00:01:52.099
so that at least you know what is to come.

17
00:01:53.299 --> 00:01:59.012
And one thing was, What is it that people should expect, now?

18
00:01:59.022 --> 00:02:04.078
This is one question because many people were waiting.

19
00:02:04.088 --> 00:02:17.181
I know that personally a dear sister I met in the supermarket and she
said, "Oh, I waited on the 28th," Yeah, maybe many of you also waited,

20
00:02:17.191 --> 00:02:19.800
but what should one expect?

21
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:25.345
And I explained (and I think we should say this here one more time),

22
00:02:25.355 --> 00:02:33.434
the Bible says--maybe you have the slide--the Bible says this is the
day of the Lord and till Brother Ray has the slide,

23
00:02:33.444 --> 00:02:39.050
I continue to explain and the Bible verse continues and says the year
of vengeance.

24
00:02:39.500 --> 00:02:46.270
So it's already clear if someone just waits for one day,
then he is maybe disappointed.

25
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:54.322
So there are a few verses that talk about the day of the Lord and this
is one example:

26
00:02:54.332 --> 00:03:03.073
For it is the day of the Lord's vengeance and the year of recompenses
for the controversy of Zion.

27
00:03:03.083 --> 00:03:11.657
So there's that day and year comparison showing that it's not just one
day that we're looking at.

28
00:03:11.667 --> 00:03:19.250
It's the day of the Lord is this whole year and it just begins,
or began, on May 28th.

29
00:03:19.419 --> 00:03:29.663
And this is the so-called day for year principle and all those who
understand or study prophecy know that principle.

30
00:03:29.673 --> 00:03:31.792
So don't be discouraged!

31
00:03:31.802 --> 00:03:35.246
A day in prophecy is a year, literally.

32
00:03:35.256 --> 00:03:40.789
So I hope this is a clear point and that the people understand.

33
00:03:40.789 --> 00:03:43.811
So what is now to be expected?

34
00:03:43.821 --> 00:03:46.741
Vengeance and plagues, right?

35
00:03:46.751 --> 00:03:48.966
This is still missing.

36
00:03:48.976 --> 00:03:52.904
Okay so this is one of those questions.

37
00:03:52.914 --> 00:03:58.009
Then maybe another one is where we are in prophecy.

38
00:04:00.060 --> 00:04:02.199
We have Daniel 12, I think.

39
00:04:02.209 --> 00:04:05.459
Do you have this slide anywhere prepared?

40
00:04:05.469 --> 00:04:07.530
Because Michael stands up.

41
00:04:07.540 --> 00:04:16.069
This is what we preached in our last sermons a long time,
and we explained where to see that in the heavens.

42
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:22.171
So Daniel chapter 12 in verse 1, we're familiar with this verse.

43
00:04:22.181 --> 00:04:29.976
"And at that time," which in context it says it's the time of the end,
"shall Michael stand up,

44
00:04:29.986 --> 00:04:35.228
the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people.

45
00:04:35.238 --> 00:04:43.670
And there shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was
a nation even to that same time.

46
00:04:45.410 --> 00:04:55.340
And at that time thy people shall be delivered:
everyone that shall be found written in the book.

47
00:04:55.350 --> 00:05:07.836
" and so we see in the sign we have the deliverance represented but we
also have Michael standing up in both witnesses and

48
00:05:07.846 --> 00:05:19.810
in the Horologium we have these two crossing points just as in Orion
we had the two legs being crossed by the comet.

49
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:31.652
So just to make it clear how this is manifested that Michael stands up,
we just can say we will observe.

50
00:05:31.662 --> 00:05:37.071
But important is to know that he stands up, right?

51
00:05:37.081 --> 00:05:41.296
We will also observe and one more time,

52
00:05:41.306 --> 00:05:52.750
although we can at least say that the Lord will never leave his people
uninformed about the certain time.

53
00:05:53.800 --> 00:06:01.012
So, we have a lot of followers: some are faithful believers and have
sincere questions.

54
00:06:01.022 --> 00:06:08.980
They have an open heart to study and learn more from the word of God
when he speaks from heaven.

55
00:06:08.990 --> 00:06:15.456
Hebrews 12, I think says, don't despise the one who speaks from heaven,
right?

56
00:06:15.466 --> 00:06:16.100
Exactly.

57
00:06:16.459 --> 00:06:20.770
So, we know where to look: into the heavens.

58
00:06:20.780 --> 00:06:29.205
And we have other followers who are just observers and they're more of
the watchers...

59
00:06:29.215 --> 00:06:32.154
yes, and maybe mockers, right?

60
00:06:32.164 --> 00:06:44.873
So for the ones who are sincere, we want to serve them and provide for
them the knowledge that they need to come through the time:

61
00:06:44.883 --> 00:06:46.339
this 372 days.

62
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:56.687
Maybe this is a good point for another question about this 372 days.

63
00:06:56.697 --> 00:06:58.075
What is this?

64
00:06:58.085 --> 00:07:02.113
And this brings us back to Matthew 25:

65
00:07:02.123 --> 00:07:03.401
the virgins,

66
00:07:03.411 --> 00:07:12.092
because we also had in our last sermons that the coming time now here
is the time

67
00:07:12.102 --> 00:07:20.344
also of the true midnight cry and this is the parable of the of the
virgins.

68
00:07:20.354 --> 00:07:22.550
Yes, the ten virgins.

69
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:28.897
Just starting at the point where it mentions, "at midnight.

70
00:07:28.907 --> 00:07:40.690
" This is after the virgins were sleeping and then,
finally at midnight there was a cry made, Behold the bridegroom cometh!

71
00:07:40.700 --> 00:07:42.800
Go ye out to meet him!

72
00:07:43.699 --> 00:07:56.362
Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps,
and the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out.

73
00:07:56.372 --> 00:08:08.750
But the wise answered saying not so lest there be not enough for us
and you, but go ye rather to them that sell and buy for yourselves.

74
00:08:09.860 --> 00:08:23.172
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came and they that were
ready went in with him to the marriage and the door was shut.

75
00:08:23.182 --> 00:08:36.899
So one thing is clear already: Here is a situation described of
dividing--a separation--of separation, yes, and it is about the oil.

76
00:08:38.309 --> 00:08:44.200
Just to make it clear, what is the oil in this parable?

77
00:08:44.210 --> 00:08:48.385
What does Oil for and, for us at least,

78
00:08:48.395 --> 00:08:56.581
we have the oil in the vessel in the heavens you see it represented
there so

79
00:08:56.591 --> 00:09:04.551
you can make that out the dove the Holy Spirit that's the oil and for
us,

80
00:09:04.561 --> 00:09:06.799
oil means knowledge,

81
00:09:06.809 --> 00:09:07.655
wisdom,

82
00:09:07.665 --> 00:09:08.940
revelation,

83
00:09:08.950 --> 00:09:09.690
right?

84
00:09:10.409 --> 00:09:24.056
So all that which the Lord is showing us from heaven,
while he is speaking from heaven, this is adding in the oil into the lamp our lamp,

85
00:09:24.066 --> 00:09:26.048
filling the vessel.

86
00:09:26.058 --> 00:09:33.419
So this was a process already in the past weeks and months and even
years.

87
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:36.570
Now is the question.

88
00:09:36.580 --> 00:09:41.855
And the midnight cry was heard, the bridegroom is coming.

89
00:09:41.865 --> 00:09:53.339
The question is, Do you have your extra portion of oil to fill the
lamp after obviously a long time of sleep of the virgins.

90
00:09:53.349 --> 00:10:00.381
And this is now the question, because people are going to buy oil
elsewhere,

91
00:10:00.391 --> 00:10:06.581
but the people of God--the wise virgins--they have the oil of God,

92
00:10:06.591 --> 00:10:07.229
right?

93
00:10:07.239 --> 00:10:09.789
Therefore, a division comes.

94
00:10:10.070 --> 00:10:21.083
The sad thing in the story is that the foolish virgins later will come
back and that is then a sad thing.

95
00:10:21.093 --> 00:10:30.534
This is also a prophecy of Jesus Himself,
which has to be expected in the coming 372 days.

96
00:10:30.544 --> 00:10:32.222
And be prepared.

97
00:10:32.232 --> 00:10:34.929
This will come, literally.

98
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:41.023
People will recognize that it was what was preached from heaven.

99
00:10:41.033 --> 00:10:43.621
And notice the foolish virgins.

100
00:10:43.631 --> 00:10:53.129
They had the same opportunity as the wise (Amen.
), to be prepared, to be ready, to have that oil in their vessels.

101
00:10:53.740 --> 00:10:55.877
They just didn't do it.

102
00:10:55.887 --> 00:11:02.570
And then, in the end, the door was shut to them--to the foolish
virgins.

103
00:11:02.570 --> 00:11:09.861
They didn't have any more opportunity to make that preparation.

104
00:11:09.871 --> 00:11:19.130
And so we see that there's there's a time to prepare,
and that time now is past.

105
00:11:19.140 --> 00:11:29.672
Now we have the 372 days ahead, mostly, to see the outpouring--the use
of that preparation.

106
00:11:29.682 --> 00:11:32.923
Right, so May 28th was here.

107
00:11:32.933 --> 00:11:37.059
Now you know, here's the other loop.

108
00:11:37.750 --> 00:11:49.338
Yes, here are the 372 days represented, and that's when the flame--the
light--is being given from the time:

109
00:11:49.348 --> 00:11:59.409
the message of time given by the Holy Spirit with the fire of the
Spirit lighting the world.

110
00:11:59.940 --> 00:12:07.097
All right, so maybe we should speak about the time which is needed so
that people wake up.

111
00:12:07.107 --> 00:12:09.174
What is this, practically?

112
00:12:09.184 --> 00:12:19.980
Many, many people are observing the events in the world and that is
good, because events in the world should meet the prophecies, right?

113
00:12:20.950 --> 00:12:28.893
So as long as nothing happens in the world,
people will continue to sleep.

114
00:12:28.903 --> 00:12:39.209
But there is a lot of news in the world, like news of nature:
Yellowstone, the volcano in Italy:

115
00:12:39.219 --> 00:12:53.701
the Phlegraean Fields, or what is going on in the WHO,
the World Health Organization, people are still sleeping but trying to wake up.

116
00:12:53.711 --> 00:13:00.240
And this is a process, but when they wake up, fear will come.

117
00:13:00.580 --> 00:13:07.524
And then, the question is, Do those people then have oil--the right
oil from heaven?

118
00:13:07.534 --> 00:13:10.180
Because then the division comes.

119
00:13:10.190 --> 00:13:16.308
Do they go elsewhere and search for wisdom,
for knowledge to buy this oil?

120
00:13:16.318 --> 00:13:21.113
or do they know where the true oil from heaven comes from?

121
00:13:21.123 --> 00:13:22.820
So there's a process.

122
00:13:22.820 --> 00:13:29.929
I want to say, in this 372 days, it will need a while till people wake
up.

123
00:13:29.939 --> 00:13:34.839
Yes, until there's the fullness of the realization.

124
00:13:34.849 --> 00:13:37.443
Everything is as a process.

125
00:13:37.453 --> 00:13:50.212
You know, in the last few years with the whole crisis that the world
went through, at first, a lot of people just went along with it,

126
00:13:50.222 --> 00:13:57.120
but now people are beginning to realize what has really been
happening.

127
00:13:58.340 --> 00:14:02.954
And I want to add here, because it fits here at this point.

128
00:14:02.964 --> 00:14:10.395
People need to decide where to buy the oil and the Bible says,
Do not deny the assembly of God.

129
00:14:10.405 --> 00:14:20.710
It's really, really important, because where you buy,
you should attend, you should stay, you should listen, you should learn there.

130
00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:28.793
And therefore, if the congregation is full, if people are coming,
we can interact.

131
00:14:28.803 --> 00:14:33.262
People can ask, we can have fellowship, communion.

132
00:14:33.272 --> 00:14:44.955
It is not so important if everyone understands each word in English,
or if we should translate in German or in Spanish or whatever.

133
00:14:44.965 --> 00:14:52.070
We will do that, but the point is, if no one comes,
this opportunity is missing.

134
00:14:52.070 --> 00:15:02.579
And it is like the Bible says, if you have one stick,
you can rapidly break it, but if you have a bundle of sticks, you cannot break it.

135
00:15:02.589 --> 00:15:12.470
And therefore this assembly, this being together at least one time in
a week, on a Sabbath in our case, is of utmost importance.

136
00:15:12.899 --> 00:15:16.974
Yes, for the strength of the community.

137
00:15:16.984 --> 00:15:20.223
(Amen.) And also understanding.

138
00:15:20.233 --> 00:15:30.667
You know, when we are able to come together to share ideas,
to communicate, then our faith can grow,

139
00:15:30.677 --> 00:15:35.049
because it's in the sharing that we grow.

140
00:15:35.500 --> 00:15:42.316
If you're just holding on to something and you don't have that
opportunity to communicate it,

141
00:15:42.326 --> 00:15:48.765
to learn somebody else's perspective on it--it's only together with
that communication,

142
00:15:48.775 --> 00:15:52.870
that fellowship that you can grow and build your faith.

143
00:15:53.320 --> 00:16:02.990
And therefore without that assembling together,
the people will lose their strength (to stand alone), and that's important!

144
00:16:04.059 --> 00:16:12.059
And this maybe brings us to another point, another question,
because the coming time is the time of big sorrows.

145
00:16:12.069 --> 00:16:14.355
Now, where is this in the Bible?

146
00:16:14.365 --> 00:16:22.559
The question was, what is the difference between the so-called
"little", and the so-called "great" time of trouble?

147
00:16:23.379 --> 00:16:31.257
Now this is a very important part because many people think this
little time of trouble will yet come.

148
00:16:31.267 --> 00:16:34.279
Everything is fine in the world, right?

149
00:16:34.289 --> 00:16:35.679
No, it's not fine!

150
00:16:35.689 --> 00:16:40.370
So maybe you have the slides of the "little" time of trouble.

151
00:16:40.580 --> 00:16:49.096
So this comes from Matthew 24, and notice this in the context of the
sign of the Son of Man.

152
00:16:49.106 --> 00:16:56.691
He says (Jesus speaking), Immediately after--after--the tribulation of
those days,

153
00:16:56.701 --> 00:17:05.109
shall the sun be darkened and the moon shall not give her light
(pointing to the eclipse).

154
00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:15.519
So, immediately after the tribulation--that's not the great
tribulation, but the little tribulation, a little time of trouble.

155
00:17:15.529 --> 00:17:24.960
The moon shall not give her light and the stars shall fall from heaven,
and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

156
00:17:25.769 --> 00:17:31.767
And then shall appear (in its completion) the sign of the Son of Man
in heaven.

157
00:17:31.777 --> 00:17:35.725
And then shall all of the tribes of the earth mourn.

158
00:17:35.735 --> 00:17:42.700
And they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with
power and great glory.

159
00:17:43.849 --> 00:17:51.964
So, please notice: first is this tribulation mentioned in Matthew 24:
29.

160
00:17:51.974 --> 00:17:56.482
Then appears the sign of the Son of Man.

161
00:17:56.492 --> 00:18:04.381
Now, people may ask, You used this verse already months and weeks ago.

162
00:18:04.391 --> 00:18:13.490
Yes, it's true, because when the sign first started,
here was K2 and here was E3.

163
00:18:14.349 --> 00:18:20.415
Of course, you read this verse and then you can remember,
we had a sermon where we said, here was the mourning,

164
00:18:20.425 --> 00:18:23.092
because here was the attack of Israel and Hamas;

165
00:18:23.102 --> 00:18:23.912
this conflict.

166
00:18:23.922 --> 00:18:24.240
Clear!

167
00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:31.956
We had this in mind because we simply followed the prophecy,

168
00:18:31.966 --> 00:18:39.555
but as we see that the sign is now fulfilled and the other verses are
not fulfilled so far,

169
00:18:39.565 --> 00:18:46.660
we must conclude that this is here meant that when the sign fully
appeared in heaven.

170
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:49.348
And this was on May 28.

171
00:18:49.358 --> 00:18:58.632
So we know, now, the sign is there, and now we can easily see what is
the next step to expect:

172
00:18:58.642 --> 00:19:03.564
And then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn.

173
00:19:03.574 --> 00:19:07.717
Now mourning is not something nice, right?

174
00:19:07.727 --> 00:19:11.871
That's a time where something bad happens!

175
00:19:11.881 --> 00:19:15.589
And what is missing in the revelation?

176
00:19:16.670 --> 00:19:18.962
It's the time of plagues.

177
00:19:18.972 --> 00:19:31.067
So, we do not discuss that today of course,
but the Lord will surely give--sooner or later--information about it, but just be clear:

178
00:19:31.077 --> 00:19:34.549
mourning is that which will come now.

179
00:19:35.349 --> 00:19:42.545
And that's the sequence that we see: Then shall appear the sign of the
Son of Man.

180
00:19:42.555 --> 00:19:45.276
So it is completed by May 28th.

181
00:19:45.286 --> 00:19:49.586
And then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn.

182
00:19:49.596 --> 00:19:54.510
And what do we see after that--after that May 28th line?

183
00:19:54.520 --> 00:20:00.359
It's this 372 days during which the tribes of the earth will mourn.

184
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:04.633
Right, so do you have this verse in Daniel 12:1?

185
00:20:04.643 --> 00:20:05.042
(Yes.

186
00:20:05.052 --> 00:20:08.960
) Because there the same time frame is mentioned,

187
00:20:08.970 --> 00:20:16.535
but it is mentioned that this is a time of trouble such as never was
since there was a nation,

188
00:20:16.545 --> 00:20:18.369
even to the same time.

189
00:20:18.650 --> 00:20:22.819
So here you can say this is the great time of trouble.

190
00:20:22.829 --> 00:20:24.914
I think, now this is clear.

191
00:20:24.924 --> 00:20:31.700
In the past was already the little time of trouble;
now comes the great time of trouble.

192
00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:33.052
Exactly.

193
00:20:33.062 --> 00:20:45.099
And just looking back here in verse 29, He says after that little time
of tribulation, the sun would be darkened.

194
00:20:45.109 --> 00:20:49.796
So we had the little time of trouble before.

195
00:20:49.806 --> 00:21:02.559
And then the sun is darkened and the moon doesn't give its light,
and then comes the application of Michael standing up.

196
00:21:02.900 --> 00:21:04.556
That's also where,

197
00:21:04.566 --> 00:21:15.375
after this time when Michael completely stands up--the two feet of the
Horologium are then complete as well--and then

198
00:21:15.385 --> 00:21:26.000
begins this time when there's a time of trouble such as never was
since there was a nation even to that same time.

199
00:21:27.390 --> 00:21:37.451
But it continues that with this contrast, because there's the wicked,
and then there's the deliverance of God's people.

200
00:21:37.461 --> 00:21:48.190
At that time, thy people (speaking to Daniel),
thy people shall be delivered: everyone that shall be found written in the book.

201
00:21:48.579 --> 00:21:55.464
And there's also that time of deliverance--Michael standing for his
people to deliver them.

202
00:21:55.474 --> 00:21:55.853
Amen.

203
00:21:55.863 --> 00:22:05.829
Maybe this is a good time to switch to the little time of trouble,
so that the people can understand it again and have the overview.

204
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:13.348
What happened in this little time of trouble and why was this a time
of trouble?

205
00:22:13.358 --> 00:22:16.159
and what happened in this time?

206
00:22:16.169 --> 00:22:19.061
So as you can see, here is 2024.

207
00:22:19.071 --> 00:22:26.359
let me say, "right now," and seven years backwards,
what was this troublous time?

208
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:34.149
People think, Oh, there must be war, or there must be some calamities,
or whatever.

209
00:22:34.159 --> 00:22:37.993
This would be for them, a troublous time, right?

210
00:22:38.003 --> 00:22:42.955
But God is a spiritual God, and it must be found in the Bible.

211
00:22:42.965 --> 00:22:46.879
Such troublous things must be found in the Bible.

212
00:22:46.889 --> 00:22:52.920
Now as you see, it goes back to the time of 2015 to 16,
something like that.

213
00:22:53.380 --> 00:23:05.928
And as you can remember, we shared that in the penultimate sermon,
I think, something like that (two or three ago), that we had super,

214
00:23:05.938 --> 00:23:06.583
super,

215
00:23:06.593 --> 00:23:12.483
great and important spiritual tests in the recent seven years.

216
00:23:12.493 --> 00:23:20.827
The first was introduced in 2015, and as you can see, right now,
we have June 1st, right?

217
00:23:20.837 --> 00:23:21.660
June 1st.

218
00:23:21.700 --> 00:23:25.814
And you know which month this is.

219
00:23:25.824 --> 00:23:27.320
Pride month.

220
00:23:27.330 --> 00:23:37.160
Yes, pride is never good, and this was the bill in US, as you know,
nationwide.

221
00:23:37.309 --> 00:23:44.092
The Supreme Court decision of the United States in June of 2015,
June 26th.

222
00:23:44.102 --> 00:23:52.781
They decided in favor of allowing gay marriage,
calling it constitutional for the United States,

223
00:23:52.791 --> 00:24:04.715
and that paved the way in the next years for this to be a major
testing issue as other nations throughout the world also took part,

224
00:24:04.725 --> 00:24:10.230
following the the strength of the lead of the United States.

225
00:24:10.329 --> 00:24:18.399
Yes, and just to be clear, the Bible says that it will be,
in the end times, like in the time of Noah and in the time of a lot.

226
00:24:18.409 --> 00:24:25.960
And I know there's a controversy, because people say, No,
in Sodom and Gomorrah, it was not only this homosexual thing.

227
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:30.966
Yes, that's true, it was a wicked city, completely.

228
00:24:30.976 --> 00:24:39.418
But Lot says that he was troubled day by day,
seeing what the people there were doing.

229
00:24:39.428 --> 00:24:41.784
We don't have the verse.

230
00:24:41.794 --> 00:24:43.630
Look it up, simply.

231
00:24:43.740 --> 00:24:53.709
But he was already troubled, and therefore when we see this,
people of God are troubled by that.

232
00:24:53.719 --> 00:24:56.419
The verse says it already.

233
00:24:56.429 --> 00:25:08.039
You need to start the troublous time of Matthew 24:
29 with that thing, because Lot was also troubled day by day.

234
00:25:09.059 --> 00:25:16.933
Therefore, this was one test: would God's people see what is coming,
what the problem is here?

235
00:25:16.943 --> 00:25:18.618
Would they see that?

236
00:25:18.628 --> 00:25:20.869
Would they stand this test?

237
00:25:22.589 --> 00:25:30.397
So this test goes on, and then you know what happened here in these
wonderful times, right?

238
00:25:30.407 --> 00:25:42.248
This was not the only test, now there came a second test [during this
period], and of course we warned and many people also understood it.

239
00:25:42.258 --> 00:25:48.092
And we had troublous times while the corona vaccination was present.

240
00:25:48.102 --> 00:25:52.619
And nowadays, many, many reports came up, we can say.

241
00:25:52.839 --> 00:26:03.596
Sure, showing just how how real all the concerns were,
that were shoved aside in calling it safe and effective.

242
00:26:03.606 --> 00:26:10.871
That was announced, but then studies were done and over the last few
years,

243
00:26:10.881 --> 00:26:21.914
they now have been coming out with these research reports that are
showing some very significant adverse effects,

244
00:26:21.924 --> 00:26:24.142
just to put it mildly,

245
00:26:24.152 --> 00:26:32.569
resulting from the mRNA technology that was used across the world in
the vaccinations.

246
00:26:32.779 --> 00:26:41.675
Yes, and don't forget, it is now already known that this vaccination
itself causes both deaths.

247
00:26:41.685 --> 00:26:47.950
(Right.) The physical death, because it affects the organs greatly.

248
00:26:49.150 --> 00:26:54.641
That's one of the things that the results of the research shows:

249
00:26:54.651 --> 00:27:05.453
that the excess deaths--In other words, every year there's a certain
baseline of people that die, but then there's an excess.

250
00:27:05.463 --> 00:27:10.430
How much more than normal are there people that are dying.

251
00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:16.188
And in the years since 2021 when the vaccinations came out,

252
00:27:16.198 --> 00:27:24.709
those excess deaths across the world--almost every nation that has
administered this vaccine,

253
00:27:24.719 --> 00:27:31.286
the excess deaths have gone up in many cases very significantly and
it's

254
00:27:31.296 --> 00:27:37.672
correlated with that push for this technology being injected into us,

255
00:27:37.682 --> 00:27:39.213
into the bodies.

256
00:27:39.223 --> 00:27:41.569
So that's the first death.

257
00:27:41.569 --> 00:27:46.624
Yes, and the second death is of course a spiritual death.

258
00:27:46.634 --> 00:27:49.294
And where does this come from?

259
00:27:49.304 --> 00:27:51.166
Just to say it again.

260
00:27:51.176 --> 00:27:53.215
Why do we say it again?

261
00:27:53.225 --> 00:28:03.559
Because what the WHO will do, and what is in the making,
will most probably lead again to such a kind of vaccination.

262
00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:07.560
It is enough to say, Be aware of that!

263
00:28:07.570 --> 00:28:10.165
But what is this thing doing?

264
00:28:10.175 --> 00:28:12.592
You know: changing the DNA.

265
00:28:12.602 --> 00:28:23.967
And this is a thing which is the very core of God's creation in Eden,
and this was the same thing that they did in Noah's time.

266
00:28:23.977 --> 00:28:28.769
It is known that they manipulated with the DNA, right?

267
00:28:28.940 --> 00:28:42.674
It's hinted to, even in Genesis chapter 6, when it speaks of Noah,
and it particularly mentions that he was "perfect in his generations",

268
00:28:42.684 --> 00:28:43.577
that is,

269
00:28:43.587 --> 00:28:44.980
in his genes:

270
00:28:44.990 --> 00:28:52.500
his DNA was perfect, or uncontaminated, unlike the rest of the
population.

271
00:28:52.500 --> 00:29:03.473
So, God singled out Noah and his family, at least in part,
because of that purity in his DNA: uncontaminated.

272
00:29:03.483 --> 00:29:15.657
He respected God's creation, that God was the creator and He was
therefore the only One who had the right, the authority,

273
00:29:15.667 --> 00:29:20.990
to handle the genetic composition of the human body.

274
00:29:21.630 --> 00:29:24.492
Yes, and please do not forget!

275
00:29:24.502 --> 00:29:31.658
Dear friends, do not forget that the body is the temple of the Holy
Spirit.

276
00:29:31.668 --> 00:29:35.867
(Amen.) We are now in this "mu" time, right?

277
00:29:35.877 --> 00:29:44.559
In the time of the Holy Spirit, and don't forget that the Holy Spirit
wants to live in you.

278
00:29:44.569 --> 00:29:53.690
And if you mess up your body, which would mean you mess up the temple
of God, in the inner core.

279
00:29:54.289 --> 00:30:00.462
We had sermons recently, where Brother Ray showed exactly how this
works.

280
00:30:00.472 --> 00:30:03.178
Then the Holy Spirit will leave.

281
00:30:03.188 --> 00:30:14.500
And it is said for the end time, that the Holy Spirit is withdrawn or
He simply leaves the world, or he leaves the unrighteous people.

282
00:30:14.910 --> 00:30:24.369
Right, there's something foreign coming into the body rather than the
divine coming in.

283
00:30:24.379 --> 00:30:29.271
So you don't want that kind of a replacement.

284
00:30:29.281 --> 00:30:41.337
And you know you mentioned about this crisis again coming back with
the plans of the World Health Organization,

285
00:30:41.347 --> 00:30:48.180
and that's a lot like what Jesus said in His time with Israel.

286
00:30:48.259 --> 00:30:59.095
He warned the people that when you see the armies coming around the
city, and they're sieging the city because they want to attack it.

287
00:30:59.105 --> 00:31:09.930
(Right.) But then He said, When you see that,
then they retreat that's your opportunity to flee the city, because then when they come.

288
00:31:09.930 --> 00:31:16.365
The second time, there's no getting out, and that's what we're seeing
now.

289
00:31:16.375 --> 00:31:28.021
We've seen the first siege already, and now we still have a little bit
of this time when you have the opportunity to flee, as it were,

290
00:31:28.031 --> 00:31:34.539
and strengthen yourself for resisting the second time when it comes
again.

291
00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:35.531
Yes.

292
00:31:35.541 --> 00:31:44.276
So, I think what I wrote down about the questions,
I am more or less through with those ideas.

293
00:31:44.286 --> 00:31:46.795
Do you have some questions?

294
00:31:46.805 --> 00:31:57.026
Why don't we talk a little bit about the seventh trumpet,
because that also talks about some of this contrast,

295
00:31:57.036 --> 00:32:00.743
and how the nations are involved there.

296
00:32:00.753 --> 00:32:12.700
In Revelation 11:16, And the four and twenty elders which sat before
God on their seats fell upon their faces and worshipped God.

297
00:32:13.299 --> 00:32:28.459
Now, when you hear about the 24 elders, if you've been watching our
ministry for any length of time, you know that points to Orion, exactly, and so that's where you're looking there,

298
00:32:28.469 --> 00:32:30.874
and it's a scene of worship,

299
00:32:30.884 --> 00:32:32.707
and they are "saying,

300
00:32:32.717 --> 00:32:34.456
we give thee thanks,

301
00:32:34.466 --> 00:32:36.205
O Lord God Almighty,

302
00:32:36.215 --> 00:32:39.120
which art and was and art to come,

303
00:32:39.130 --> 00:32:44.618
because thou hast taken to thee thy great power and hast reigned.

304
00:32:44.628 --> 00:32:47.700
So now we see this transition coming.

305
00:32:48.900 --> 00:32:52.848
They praise God because finally He's standing up.

306
00:32:52.858 --> 00:32:56.967
He's taking His power, His authority, and reigning.

307
00:32:56.977 --> 00:33:00.361
Same as in Daniel 12, standing up as King.

308
00:33:00.371 --> 00:33:05.609
(Exactly.) And just like in Daniel 12, what happens on the earth?

309
00:33:05.619 --> 00:33:12.548
The nations were angry: a "great time of trouble.
" And thy wrath is come: the plagues.

310
00:33:12.558 --> 00:33:14.250
The plagues, exactly.

311
00:33:14.260 --> 00:33:23.869
And the time of the dead, that they should be judged and that thou
shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets.

312
00:33:24.180 --> 00:33:31.146
So again, we have the punishment, the wrath, the plagues,
being poured out on the earth.

313
00:33:31.156 --> 00:33:36.380
And on the other hand, we have reward being given to God's people:

314
00:33:36.390 --> 00:33:42.397
the servants, the prophets, and to the saints,
and them that fear thy name.

315
00:33:42.407 --> 00:33:46.523
They honor the Creator and they understand His name.

316
00:33:46.533 --> 00:33:48.750
They recognize it in heaven.

317
00:33:48.760 --> 00:33:54.420
"...small and great, and shouldest destroy them which destroy the
earth.

318
00:33:56.250 --> 00:33:59.121
And the temple of God was opened in heaven,

319
00:33:59.131 --> 00:34:03.968
and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament and there
were

320
00:34:03.978 --> 00:34:08.805
lightnings and voices and thunderings and an earthquake and great
hail.

321
00:34:08.815 --> 00:34:13.079
" So that points to the very end of the fierceness of His wrath.

322
00:34:13.110 --> 00:34:15.403
Yes, this is the very end, right?

323
00:34:15.413 --> 00:34:24.728
But what is interesting here, is that the temple of God was open and
you could even look into the temple, to the ark of the testament.

324
00:34:24.738 --> 00:34:33.982
Now in old times if a Jew would have seen the ark of His testament
with his eyes, and he was not the high priest, he would have died.

325
00:34:33.992 --> 00:34:35.769
Right, the Shekinah Glory.

326
00:34:35.869 --> 00:34:42.911
Which means that the lord, the high priest in heaven,
is not there anymore.

327
00:34:42.921 --> 00:34:52.873
This was like as in Jesus' time when He was crucified, the big veil,
the veil was torn from top to bottom.

328
00:34:52.883 --> 00:34:54.855
And the ark was seen.

329
00:34:54.865 --> 00:34:59.059
Normally people would have died in that time.

330
00:34:59.059 --> 00:35:09.190
It meant just that this service was not necessary anymore,
because the true Lamb of God was crucified in the same moment.

331
00:35:09.200 --> 00:35:16.139
Right, and in fact, when the veil was torn in the temple,
it was exposed that there

332
00:35:16.139 --> 00:35:23.079
wasn't even the ark in there, because it was hidden before--it was
hidden in a cave.

333
00:35:23.089 --> 00:35:28.046
And this time, you see it, but you see no high priest there.

334
00:35:28.056 --> 00:35:34.499
This means that Jesus, the High Priest, will leave the most holy--His
service.

335
00:35:34.509 --> 00:35:42.079
Which means, as people would say, His intercessory service ends,
and that's a serious thing!

336
00:35:42.380 --> 00:35:42.809
Amen.

337
00:35:42.819 --> 00:35:45.136
And it's a necessary thing.

338
00:35:45.146 --> 00:35:51.152
We don't always like to talk about that, because it's not so pleasant,

339
00:35:51.162 --> 00:35:58.618
but it's necessary that if Jesus is ministering in heaven and He has
to come to earth,

340
00:35:58.628 --> 00:36:01.021
He has to stop ministering,

341
00:36:01.031 --> 00:36:01.622
right?

342
00:36:01.632 --> 00:36:04.378
And this is just one day, right?

343
00:36:04.388 --> 00:36:06.104
The day of the Lord.

344
00:36:06.114 --> 00:36:07.179
Yes, exactly.

345
00:36:07.619 --> 00:36:11.399
Expect, on that day, that He needs to leave.

346
00:36:11.409 --> 00:36:18.796
Right, not necessarily at the first moment,
but this is toward the end of that period.

347
00:36:18.806 --> 00:36:21.383
(Yes, this is a whole process.

348
00:36:21.393 --> 00:36:33.065
) Right, that's what we have to learn with prophecy is everything is a
process you see "day", and you think, Oh, it happens in 24 hours.

349
00:36:33.075 --> 00:36:35.051
Think twice about that!

350
00:36:35.061 --> 00:36:37.769
A day is as a year in the Bible.

351
00:36:39.829 --> 00:36:48.638
Is there another topic, because it doesn't matter how how long we are
here and explaining things and preaching.

352
00:36:48.648 --> 00:36:50.156
It does not matter.

353
00:36:50.166 --> 00:36:58.320
When you have questions, let us know, especially about these 372 days,
because we want to shepherd you.

354
00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:05.445
We want to feed you and we want to help to bring you through that
troublous time.

355
00:37:05.455 --> 00:37:15.220
It is important that you have this oil, that you have these portions
in your bag, so that your lamp is shining.

356
00:37:15.230 --> 00:37:15.650
Amen.

357
00:37:16.289 --> 00:37:20.904
And on that note, in the book of Joel, Chapter 2 (Yes.

358
00:37:20.914 --> 00:37:30.905
), speaking of the oil, he says, "And it shall come to pass afterward,
that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh,

359
00:37:30.915 --> 00:37:35.089
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

360
00:37:35.099 --> 00:37:38.249
and your old men shall dream dreams.

361
00:37:38.259 --> 00:37:48.929
Your young men shall see visions, and also upon the servants and upon
the handmaids in those days, will I pour out my Spirit.

362
00:37:49.449 --> 00:37:57.923
So this isn't just a time of vengeance and trampling the grapes,
but for God's people, there's something to look forward to.

363
00:37:57.933 --> 00:38:01.624
We can expect Him to pour out His Spirit in abundance.

364
00:38:01.634 --> 00:38:03.205
Right, this is the oil.

365
00:38:03.215 --> 00:38:04.309
This is the oil.

366
00:38:04.319 --> 00:38:06.847
This is the portions to come through.

367
00:38:06.857 --> 00:38:08.087
This is knowledge.

368
00:38:08.097 --> 00:38:13.710
In a different metaphor, we would say it's the latter rain that ripens
the harvest.

369
00:38:13.710 --> 00:38:26.063
Yes, and by the way, I came from a church where I never heard anything
of any dream that would have been shared in the church.

370
00:38:26.073 --> 00:38:31.171
By knowing that, I know that there is a big problem.

371
00:38:31.181 --> 00:38:42.730
I have been counting our dreams since, I think, 2019,
and we have 200-300 dreams recorded, and this is by far not all.

372
00:38:42.929 --> 00:38:50.039
I just want to say, if you are in a church and a dream,
a vision is not the topic, there's a problem, I guess.

373
00:38:50.429 --> 00:39:01.490
Yeah, in Revelation, it talks about the Spirit of Prophecy,
and that is the testimony of Jesus and that's expressed in this form,

374
00:39:01.500 --> 00:39:03.720
when He gives His Spirit,

375
00:39:03.730 --> 00:39:04.663
He speaks.

376
00:39:04.673 --> 00:39:10.503
He speaks through dreams, He speaks through visions and other forms.

377
00:39:10.513 --> 00:39:17.116
And that should be a part of His church, and if it's not then it's a
problem.

378
00:39:17.126 --> 00:39:19.840
Maybe He's not with that church.

379
00:39:19.980 --> 00:39:26.960
Yes, and it's interesting and I will show you wonders in the heavens
and in the earth.

380
00:39:26.970 --> 00:39:37.927
Now it's again mentioned here, you have to look up,
because in the heavens, you see the wonders which we try to explain over the years.

381
00:39:37.937 --> 00:39:40.859
And this is a sign of the end times.

382
00:39:40.869 --> 00:39:45.009
You need to listen to the voice of God from heaven.

383
00:39:45.019 --> 00:39:46.440
Don't despise Him.

384
00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:46.867
Amen.

385
00:39:46.877 --> 00:39:48.158
Very important.

386
00:39:48.168 --> 00:39:51.669
He continues and talks about those signs:

387
00:39:51.679 --> 00:40:01.406
The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before
the great and terrible day of the Lord come.

388
00:40:01.416 --> 00:40:09.500
And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the
Lord shall be delivered.

389
00:40:10.150 --> 00:40:16.484
There's the name of the Lord: The Alpha and Omega, and even the Mu.

390
00:40:16.494 --> 00:40:16.872
Yes.

391
00:40:16.882 --> 00:40:29.267
For in mount Zion (also represented in the sign) and in Jerusalem
shall be deliverance-- spiritual Jerusalem, not the physical one.

392
00:40:29.277 --> 00:40:34.288
Amen, that's an important point as well to point out.

393
00:40:34.298 --> 00:40:40.727
As the Lord hath said, and in the remnant, whom the Lord shall call.

394
00:40:40.737 --> 00:40:41.159
Amen.

395
00:40:42.469 --> 00:40:53.745
So that's kind of a recapitulation of some of the things that we've
talked about, especially in relation to those 372 days.

396
00:40:53.755 --> 00:40:54.855
Where is it?

397
00:40:54.865 --> 00:41:04.380
"The great and terrible day of the Lord." Yes,
we're already in that-- the very beginning of that--time.

398
00:41:05.250 --> 00:41:15.531
And you know, the the mockers like to wait until the first moment,
and if they're still comfortable, then they say, "Ah,

399
00:41:15.541 --> 00:41:18.273
there's nothing to worry about.

400
00:41:18.283 --> 00:41:24.099
Everything goes on like it has since the beginning of the creation."

401
00:41:24.460 --> 00:41:26.588
Who said that, Peter?

402
00:41:26.598 --> 00:41:34.504
Yes, but indeed, it is a great and terrible day of the Lord,
and it is coming,

403
00:41:34.514 --> 00:41:41.397
and as it was in the days of Noah--and how long did the flood last?

404
00:41:41.407 --> 00:41:42.725
A whole year!

405
00:41:42.735 --> 00:41:54.999
It lasted a year, but at the beginning of that year,
there was a short time of seven days when they entered into the ark,

406
00:41:55.009 --> 00:41:57.229
before any rain came.

407
00:41:57.239 --> 00:42:00.949
So even then, there was a time delay.

408
00:42:01.659 --> 00:42:06.175
When they took action--and I think that's an important point.

409
00:42:06.185 --> 00:42:10.479
Noah and his family took action before any rain ever fell.

410
00:42:10.489 --> 00:42:19.150
And so if you're waiting just to see when the fireballs are falling,
then you are not in--then you're not in the ark.

411
00:42:19.160 --> 00:42:21.085
You know, this is the ark.

412
00:42:21.095 --> 00:42:22.501
Go in into the ark.

413
00:42:22.511 --> 00:42:23.326
Believe it!

414
00:42:23.336 --> 00:42:23.928
Exactly.

415
00:42:23.938 --> 00:42:28.309
Take it by faith, before you see--before you see everything.

416
00:42:28.349 --> 00:42:31.010
I mean, how much does it take?

417
00:42:31.020 --> 00:42:34.745
We've seen so much already in the heavens.

418
00:42:34.755 --> 00:42:38.392
(Amen.) But this is what we see by faith.

419
00:42:38.402 --> 00:42:48.762
And unfortunately, so many are only looking to what happens on the
earth, and as long as Europe isn't in a world war,

420
00:42:48.772 --> 00:42:54.252
or the United States isn't in a bloodbath of civil war (yet),

421
00:42:54.262 --> 00:42:55.137
then "Oh,

422
00:42:55.147 --> 00:42:56.820
there's more time.

423
00:42:56.820 --> 00:42:58.621
It's fine, no problem.

424
00:42:58.631 --> 00:43:04.119
Nothing to worry about." But we look in heaven and we see the time.

425
00:43:04.129 --> 00:43:14.776
We understand what time we're living in, and we know it's this great
and terrible day of the Lord, and it will come and not tarry.

426
00:43:14.786 --> 00:43:23.929
Surely not, and don't forget what Brother Ray said:
seven days Noah and his family were all together in the ark.

427
00:43:24.679 --> 00:43:26.896
Outside they were mocking.

428
00:43:26.906 --> 00:43:29.633
(Yeah.) And who closed the door?

429
00:43:29.643 --> 00:43:32.115
It was the Angel of the Lord.

430
00:43:32.125 --> 00:43:39.948
And the closing of the door is, as we said before,
that the Lord is not interceding anymore,

431
00:43:39.958 --> 00:43:44.880
because He is on travel to earth on that day of the Lord.

432
00:43:45.900 --> 00:43:48.178
So expect that in that time.

433
00:43:48.188 --> 00:43:49.327
Get ready now!

434
00:43:49.337 --> 00:43:51.371
Better is even right now.

435
00:43:51.381 --> 00:43:54.229
Yeah, better earlier than too late.

436
00:43:54.239 --> 00:44:05.469
I had a children's Bible in my youth--a big thing--and I remember that
like it were today: there was the ark of Noah, so the ark was seen.

437
00:44:05.479 --> 00:44:16.739
And on the ark, a guy sat, and there was written on it, "Oh,
I wait till I see something, and then I can jump in." I remember that, really.

438
00:44:17.099 --> 00:44:28.431
And of course, the next picture was then the rain and he was washed
away and he could not go in anymore.

439
00:44:28.441 --> 00:44:37.267
Therefore people, please, take it seriously,
and don't think nothing will happen.

440
00:44:37.277 --> 00:44:38.148
It will.

441
00:44:38.158 --> 00:44:43.170
The heavens declare God's time and God's plan.

442
00:44:43.180 --> 00:44:45.320
And just in closing,

443
00:44:46.739 --> 00:45:00.044
we're at this transition period, and honestly, we're at the point,
now where the preparations should be complete,

444
00:45:00.054 --> 00:45:05.224
and now we're entering the day of the Lord.

445
00:45:05.234 --> 00:45:05.823
Amen.

446
00:45:05.833 --> 00:45:15.349
The Lord is merciful, and He gives plenty of opportunity when there's
repentance.

447
00:45:16.320 --> 00:45:22.985
When His people turn from their ways, He extends mercy to them.

448
00:45:22.995 --> 00:45:36.432
Even the worst of the kings of Judah and Israel,
when they turned and repented, like with Manasseh, for example (the last one),

449
00:45:36.442 --> 00:45:39.078
even though he repented,

450
00:45:39.088 --> 00:45:41.934
God didn't relent anymore.

451
00:45:41.944 --> 00:45:44.570
It was okay for Manasseh.

452
00:45:44.619 --> 00:45:51.245
It didn't happen in his time, but the consequences were not averted,
and that's where we're at now.

453
00:45:51.255 --> 00:45:57.680
Those who repent now, they will suffer in this time,
but God will have mercy on them in the end.

454
00:45:57.690 --> 00:46:04.630
He says, "Be faithful unto death, and I will give you a crown of life.
" These are the so-called martyrs.

455
00:46:04.869 --> 00:46:08.324
(Exactly.) Also this number must be fulfilled.

456
00:46:08.334 --> 00:46:12.766
Those who stand with faith, standing for what they believe.

457
00:46:12.776 --> 00:46:20.136
Yes, and maybe this is a good closing point,
because Brother Ray spoke about the love of the Lord.

458
00:46:20.146 --> 00:46:24.953
This is like a coin, and a coin has a backside and a front side.

459
00:46:24.963 --> 00:46:29.730
because there are the righteous and there are the wicked, right?

460
00:46:31.530 --> 00:46:40.698
If God pours out the plagues, and is ruling with the iron rod and with
the sword out of his mouth, and the plagues are falling,

461
00:46:40.708 --> 00:46:41.998
people say often,

462
00:46:42.008 --> 00:46:43.297
where's the love?

463
00:46:43.307 --> 00:46:47.856
But the other (side of the) coin is there are righteous people.

464
00:46:47.866 --> 00:46:53.064
So God loves the sinner, and He loves, let me say,
the righteous people.

465
00:46:53.074 --> 00:46:57.622
But He must at one point also say, How long should they suffer?

466
00:46:57.632 --> 00:46:58.065
Right.

467
00:46:58.075 --> 00:46:58.725
How long?

468
00:46:58.735 --> 00:47:01.130
If the other one would not repent.

469
00:47:01.130 --> 00:47:07.196
And honestly, God knows when the point has come when no one would
repent anymore.

470
00:47:07.206 --> 00:47:15.595
He has love also for the righteous one, who try day by day like you,
obviously, in the end, who watch the video.

471
00:47:15.605 --> 00:47:17.927
And you here, the congregation.

472
00:47:17.937 --> 00:47:23.780
There are people who try to be good people of God,
so how long should He wait?

473
00:47:23.790 --> 00:47:27.570
Till He knows that others would not repent anymore.

474
00:47:27.570 --> 00:47:35.709
And in the plagues it is said two times or three times,
that they would not repent and they mock God.

475
00:47:35.719 --> 00:47:41.279
Therefore, you know that the love towards those has ended in the end.

476
00:47:41.289 --> 00:47:46.829
But He needs then to show love to the righteous ones, to redeem them.

477
00:47:47.130 --> 00:48:01.764
Yeah, and that's really what this transition point is showing:
that that transition that says, okay, this is the point of no return.

478
00:48:01.774 --> 00:48:09.313
We've crossed now that point where the opportunity is now different.

479
00:48:09.323 --> 00:48:11.208
It's like Thomas.

480
00:48:11.218 --> 00:48:19.644
Jesus admonished Thomas because he didn't believe until he saw the
evidence.

481
00:48:19.654 --> 00:48:20.280
(Yes.)

482
00:48:20.550 --> 00:48:29.096
And there are many, unfortunately, that won't believe until they see
and feel the evidence.

483
00:48:29.106 --> 00:48:38.686
Maybe they still have a good heart, but they lose a blessing,
and that's where we're at at this point.

484
00:48:38.696 --> 00:48:48.182
Now the blessing of having believed in faith is not given to those,
and they must pass through death,

485
00:48:48.192 --> 00:48:52.596
whereas Philadelphia is spared from that hour.

486
00:48:52.606 --> 00:48:53.610
(Exactly.).

487
00:48:55.389 --> 00:48:58.371
So, with that,send us your questions.

488
00:48:58.381 --> 00:49:09.010
Yes, and tell us also if you like the new setup, the new format,
because maybe it's interesting for you, refreshing for you, or not.

489
00:49:09.119 --> 00:49:10.411
Just tell us!

490
00:49:10.421 --> 00:49:12.508
We will decide, then.

491
00:49:12.518 --> 00:49:17.982
Yeah, we're open to the idea, so we wanted to try that.

492
00:49:17.992 --> 00:49:21.370
Let's close with a word of prayer.

493
00:49:21.380 --> 00:49:28.326
Dear Father in heaven, we thank You for Your mercy toward Your people,

494
00:49:28.336 --> 00:49:38.547
and You look kindly to even those who have not had much opportunity to
learn to understand the things,

495
00:49:38.557 --> 00:49:44.500
because not everybody grows up and has the same background,

496
00:49:44.510 --> 00:49:52.340
the same nurturing--spiritual nurturing--to understand things in the
same way.

497
00:49:53.159 --> 00:50:05.195
And so, for many, You give this last opportunity to finally see with
their eyes what is coming on the world.

498
00:50:05.205 --> 00:50:20.027
And yet You extend to them mercy, even in this time when you're
pouring out Your wrath, the plagues, when you're punishing the world.

499
00:50:20.037 --> 00:50:28.618
Yet you have mercy toward Your repentant ones that don't blaspheme
Your name.

500
00:50:28.628 --> 00:50:31.829
And so we thank You for that.

501
00:50:31.900 --> 00:50:45.007
We thank You for Your steadfast character of love that You show to
Your people, and we also thank You for bringing things to a conclusion,

502
00:50:45.017 --> 00:50:49.187
which necessarily means executing judgment.

503
00:50:49.197 --> 00:50:58.119
And that's the time that we're in, and we thank you that we have your
promises of deliverance,

504
00:50:58.129 --> 00:51:03.530
and that You will be with Your people through this time.

505
00:51:04.829 --> 00:51:11.986
We love You, Father, and we look forward to spending all eternity with
You.

506
00:51:11.996 --> 00:51:17.530
You are our exceeding great Reward, like You told Abraham.

507
00:51:17.540 --> 00:51:26.222
We praise Your name, and we ask these things in the name of Jesus
Christ, Alnitak of Orion.

508
00:51:26.232 --> 00:51:26.679
Amen.
