WEBVTT 1 00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:21.864 All right, so again, welcome everyone and thanks for coming. 2 00:00:21.874 --> 00:00:25.523 It's good to see everyone here. 3 00:00:25.533 --> 00:00:36.109 And today I want to talk about midnight in heaven, when the heavens show what midnight is. 4 00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:45.611 So, we're going to come to that, but first we have to take some steps to get there. 5 00:00:45.621 --> 00:00:54.020 We've been talking in the last weeks about God's voice, how he speaks to us from heaven. 6 00:00:55.700 --> 00:01:08.203 And if we look in the Bible, in the very beginning, in the creation account. 7 00:01:08.213 --> 00:01:19.719 Jesus, the Bible says, and here we have the three different languages. 8 00:01:21.010 --> 00:01:28.198 In Spanish you can follow there, in German, and I'll be referencing the English. 9 00:01:28.208 --> 00:01:33.769 And in Genesis chapter 1, very first chapter, and in verse 14. 10 00:01:35.950 --> 00:01:40.535 And God said, let there be lights in the firmament. 11 00:01:40.545 --> 00:01:42.433 What's the firmament? 12 00:01:42.443 --> 00:01:45.390 That's, that's the heavens above. 13 00:01:46.670 --> 00:01:52.915 The firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night. 14 00:01:52.925 --> 00:01:55.894 So what does that talk about? 15 00:01:55.904 --> 00:01:58.669 The day we have what light? 16 00:01:58.679 --> 00:02:00.317 We have the sun. 17 00:02:00.327 --> 00:02:01.658 And at night? 18 00:02:01.668 --> 00:02:02.540 The moon. 19 00:02:03.540 --> 00:02:06.143 Most of the time. 20 00:02:06.153 --> 00:02:07.684 All right. 21 00:02:07.694 --> 00:02:11.676 And let them be, for what? 22 00:02:11.686 --> 00:02:19.159 For signs and for seasons and for days and years. 23 00:02:20.330 --> 00:02:30.789 So when God created the world, he made the lights in heaven, the sun, the moon, and the stars to serve these purposes. 24 00:02:31.810 --> 00:02:38.992 Divides day and night, but also for signs and then for telling the time. 25 00:02:39.002 --> 00:02:43.879 You can summarize all that, seasons, days, years. 26 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:49.500 That's all about measuring time. 27 00:02:49.509 --> 00:02:53.441 But it also says for signs. 28 00:02:53.451 --> 00:03:03.479 God gives signs in heaven, by using the sun, the moon, and the stars. 29 00:03:05.300 --> 00:03:12.894 Now sometimes we think, oh, that's astrology, it sounds weird, but it's right here. 30 00:03:12.904 --> 00:03:14.551 It's in the Bible. 31 00:03:14.561 --> 00:03:16.919 There are signs in heaven. 32 00:03:17.659 --> 00:03:23.751 And all throughout the Bible it talks about signs in heaven. 33 00:03:23.761 --> 00:03:29.953 In the sun, the sun being darkened, the moon turned to blood. 34 00:03:29.963 --> 00:03:34.734 These are all signs that we see in the heavens. 35 00:03:34.744 --> 00:03:35.729 All right. 36 00:03:37.750 --> 00:03:44.616 Now when we look in the heavens, what do we see? 37 00:03:44.626 --> 00:03:52.638 Okay, so here is something you might see on a clear day. 38 00:03:52.648 --> 00:04:00.639 You look out, you see your scenery, and there's the sun. 39 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:07.025 Okay, that's not much to look at, right? 40 00:04:07.035 --> 00:04:10.620 What happens when the sun sets? 41 00:04:10.630 --> 00:04:13.521 Then it goes dark, right? 42 00:04:13.531 --> 00:04:16.740 Usually not quite that fast. 43 00:04:17.889 --> 00:04:25.250 All right, and then we see the moon, and it's dark, and you see the stars. 44 00:04:26.459 --> 00:04:34.350 Now I want you to imagine, back when God created the world, there wasn't a lot to do. 45 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:38.620 There weren't even these lights in the houses. 46 00:04:39.290 --> 00:04:42.036 When it got dark, what did you do? 47 00:04:42.046 --> 00:04:47.449 You weren't tired yet, because a lot of times it gets dark earlier. 48 00:04:49.160 --> 00:05:02.589 So you'd probably want to look at the stars, and the stars are something that always brings wonder, awe, and amazement. 49 00:05:02.949 --> 00:05:08.647 Everybody, every child wonders, what are the stars? 50 00:05:08.657 --> 00:05:10.891 Why do they twinkle? 51 00:05:10.901 --> 00:05:17.920 And imagine God, he created this world, and he's like a father. 52 00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:24.890 Especially to Adam and Eve, it says he walked with them in the garden. 53 00:05:24.900 --> 00:05:27.881 So he was much more present with them. 54 00:05:27.891 --> 00:05:31.499 Today he seems more distant, we don't see him. 55 00:05:31.509 --> 00:05:35.480 Thankfully, we have prayer, so we can speak to him. 56 00:05:37.819 --> 00:05:44.082 But in that time, he was present with them, like a father. 57 00:05:44.092 --> 00:05:55.105 And if you had your children, and you wanted to teach them, You know, what do you have in a classroom? 58 00:05:55.115 --> 00:06:00.170 In a classroom, you usually have what up front? 59 00:06:02.149 --> 00:06:13.122 There's a big board up front, and you have chalk, or markers, or whatever, depending on what kind of board it is, right? 60 00:06:13.132 --> 00:06:13.589 Good. 61 00:06:13.599 --> 00:06:15.500 So that's how God is. 62 00:06:15.810 --> 00:06:17.551 He's a teacher. 63 00:06:17.561 --> 00:06:31.142 He's a father who wants to teach his children, and his board, instead of being in front, is the whole of the heavens. 64 00:06:31.152 --> 00:06:40.069 And so, he made all the stars, when you're looking at clouds, you see shapes. 65 00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:45.663 You say, oh, that looks like a man. 66 00:06:45.673 --> 00:06:53.181 Oh, I see a face, oh, look, there's a dog, you see different things. 67 00:06:53.191 --> 00:06:58.360 And so, God uses the same thing with the stars. 68 00:06:58.899 --> 00:07:07.786 The bright stars, those stars, they kind of look like maybe a person. 69 00:07:07.796 --> 00:07:09.470 Or an animal. 70 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:14.870 For example, you have something like this. 71 00:07:16.089 --> 00:07:19.736 We can use the program to help us. 72 00:07:19.746 --> 00:07:30.569 It's harder when you're pointing to that star, and that star, but we can draw the lines between them. 73 00:07:31.610 --> 00:07:33.731 And then you can imagine something. 74 00:07:33.741 --> 00:07:37.490 If I pull this around, you can see different parts of the sky. 75 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:42.285 What does this look like? 76 00:07:42.295 --> 00:07:46.777 You know, maybe you look at it one time from another way. 77 00:07:46.787 --> 00:07:50.620 You say, wow, you can kind of see a person there. 78 00:07:50.810 --> 00:07:53.757 Maybe pouring out some water. 79 00:07:53.767 --> 00:07:55.393 Here's his legs. 80 00:07:55.403 --> 00:07:58.451 He's got one arm out this way. 81 00:07:58.461 --> 00:07:59.681 Another arm. 82 00:07:59.691 --> 00:08:03.310 You can imagine things there, right? 83 00:08:04.610 --> 00:08:09.869 Or what about this, doesn't that kind of look like a head? 84 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:13.506 And there's some ear or something there. 85 00:08:13.516 --> 00:08:16.670 And a body, you can kind of see it. 86 00:08:16.670 --> 00:08:25.561 It's not very clear, but there are things there. 87 00:08:25.571 --> 00:08:36.120 Now, it turns out, if we look at this, here's the ground. 88 00:08:37.379 --> 00:08:41.245 Normally, you only see half of the sky. 89 00:08:41.255 --> 00:08:47.996 But there's an entire other half of the sky that we know it's there. 90 00:08:48.006 --> 00:08:52.764 But we can't see it because of the earth, right? 91 00:08:52.774 --> 00:08:55.519 But it's still there, right? 92 00:08:56.809 --> 00:09:01.961 Now, that's where our program helps us, because we can take the earth away. 93 00:09:01.971 --> 00:09:03.962 And now we see all the stars. 94 00:09:03.972 --> 00:09:06.700 So you can even look down in the ground. 95 00:09:06.700 --> 00:09:11.990 Oh, there's those stars there. 96 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:17.643 And let me just put a line here. 97 00:09:17.653 --> 00:09:23.100 Here's a line that we can draw. 98 00:09:24.620 --> 00:09:27.395 This shows us the path. 99 00:09:27.405 --> 00:09:29.819 The path of the sun. 100 00:09:29.829 --> 00:09:35.500 Because every day, the stars move a little bit. 101 00:09:35.510 --> 00:09:42.480 When you look out at the same time every night you see it. 102 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:48.447 That's why they tell the seasons, because in the wintertime, you see one set of stars. 103 00:09:48.457 --> 00:09:52.679 But in the summertime, you see the other set of stars, right? 104 00:09:53.779 --> 00:10:00.762 And this line shows us where the sun is in any given time, right? 105 00:10:00.772 --> 00:10:05.069 So with the program, we can look around. 106 00:10:05.079 --> 00:10:13.759 It shows us not just the sun, but you see there's also other planets around here. 107 00:10:15.789 --> 00:10:23.080 And they all follow that same line, more or less. 108 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:30.850 The sun follows it exactly, and the other planets more or less follow it. 109 00:10:32.649 --> 00:10:41.566 And with just that line of those planets, God teaches us different things. 110 00:10:41.576 --> 00:10:44.589 Now, how does he do that? 111 00:10:44.599 --> 00:10:47.230 They're like pointers. 112 00:10:48.570 --> 00:10:50.937 He highlights that one place. 113 00:10:50.947 --> 00:10:54.866 He says, oh, here's where the sun is, look here. 114 00:10:54.876 --> 00:10:56.917 What does that look like? 115 00:10:56.927 --> 00:10:59.948 And then he tells a story about that. 116 00:10:59.958 --> 00:11:05.470 He said, well, a lot of times you have to turn yourself upside down. 117 00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:11.561 Well, that kind of looks like you can see a cat. 118 00:11:11.571 --> 00:11:16.673 Here's the head looking that way, lying down. 119 00:11:16.683 --> 00:11:19.744 Here's the tail, all right? 120 00:11:19.754 --> 00:11:22.701 And then he tells a story. 121 00:11:22.711 --> 00:11:28.340 Well, it's a lion, and maybe he talks about Jesus. 122 00:11:28.970 --> 00:11:36.911 There's coming the lion, and it will come from my people. 123 00:11:36.921 --> 00:11:43.330 He tells a whole story, depending on the time. 124 00:11:43.340 --> 00:11:50.307 Right now it's August, and the sun is in the lion. 125 00:11:50.317 --> 00:11:53.909 So, sorry, it's September. 126 00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:00.994 But the sun is still in the lion, all right? 127 00:12:01.004 --> 00:12:05.582 So, at any time of year, you have different stories. 128 00:12:05.592 --> 00:12:12.724 Your children, a lot of times, want to hear the same stories over and over again. 129 00:12:12.734 --> 00:12:14.730 You repeat them, right? 130 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:21.269 So, every year, God has his storybook turning around the world. 131 00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:26.123 And every night, you can look out and talk about the different stars. 132 00:12:26.133 --> 00:12:28.547 He would talk about the different stars. 133 00:12:28.557 --> 00:12:30.769 He points out the different pictures. 134 00:12:31.820 --> 00:12:39.738 And there's a Bible verse that is very interesting. 135 00:12:39.748 --> 00:12:45.337 It comes from Psalm 147 and verse 4. 136 00:12:45.347 --> 00:12:48.918 It's talking about God. 137 00:12:48.928 --> 00:12:55.730 It says, he telleth the number of the stars. 138 00:12:57.860 --> 00:13:01.550 He knows how many stars there are. 139 00:13:01.560 --> 00:13:08.508 But more than that, it says, he calleth them all by their names. 140 00:13:08.518 --> 00:13:12.426 So, that means the stars have names. 141 00:13:12.436 --> 00:13:15.120 Who gave the stars names? 142 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.469 Now, again, imagine God with his creation. 143 00:13:22.479 --> 00:13:24.820 He's telling the stories. 144 00:13:25.340 --> 00:13:29.224 And then he says, see that star, that means this. 145 00:13:29.234 --> 00:13:31.374 And he gives a name for it. 146 00:13:31.384 --> 00:13:34.396 And that way, you can become familiar. 147 00:13:34.406 --> 00:13:38.340 His children would become familiar with the story. 148 00:13:40.090 --> 00:13:47.231 Now, over many, many years and millennia, a lot of those names have been lost. 149 00:13:47.241 --> 00:13:55.929 But there are still a number, quite a number of names of stars that we know from ancient times. 150 00:13:57.370 --> 00:14:03.409 And ultimately, it says in the Bible that they have names. 151 00:14:03.940 --> 00:14:07.782 So, God gave names to the stars. 152 00:14:07.792 --> 00:14:22.429 And the more ancient the name is, the more likely that it comes from what God actually was teaching by naming those stars. 153 00:14:22.500 --> 00:14:32.139 Of course, we can't be completely sure when we have the name of a star, whether it was God that gave that name. 154 00:14:32.149 --> 00:14:35.700 Maybe just somebody later gave it a name. 155 00:14:37.700 --> 00:14:45.320 But when we see how they all tell a story, it becomes clear, all right? 156 00:14:46.860 --> 00:14:53.093 So, that's kind of how God tells the stories through the stars. 157 00:14:53.103 --> 00:14:55.972 But he also uses the planets. 158 00:14:55.982 --> 00:15:04.570 Because the planets are basically, especially in ancient time, they look just the same. 159 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:13.529 The only difference between the planet and the stars, when you look out at night, is that the planets are often brighter. 160 00:15:14.299 --> 00:15:22.149 Some of them, like Venus, for example, is very bright, but they move. 161 00:15:23.789 --> 00:15:26.539 Now, you don't see them in the night moving. 162 00:15:26.549 --> 00:15:33.100 But night after night, when you look at the same place, you say, hey, that one's a little bit moved over. 163 00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:41.861 The next night, it's a little further over, and further and further. 164 00:15:41.871 --> 00:15:53.049 And as we look from night to night, you start to see how the heavens, the whole heavens move. 165 00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:54.449 They turn. 166 00:15:54.459 --> 00:15:58.941 And then, as you're looking every night, it looks a little different. 167 00:15:58.951 --> 00:16:00.750 Sometimes they get brighter. 168 00:16:00.750 --> 00:16:02.919 Sometimes they're dimmer. 169 00:16:02.929 --> 00:16:06.054 Sometimes they go away, out of view. 170 00:16:06.064 --> 00:16:09.690 There's the sun coming out in the daytime. 171 00:16:12.110 --> 00:16:21.231 This program is very nice, because it shows us all these things whenever we want, and however we want. 172 00:16:21.241 --> 00:16:24.539 So, let's just look at the stars now. 173 00:16:29.220 --> 00:16:37.032 And if we look at the planets, we want to know what kind of meaning God is putting in these things. 174 00:16:37.042 --> 00:16:43.740 Because these are all symbols, and he wants to show us and teach us things from that. 175 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:49.078 And the planets are all a little bit different. 176 00:16:49.088 --> 00:16:55.039 And even in ancient times, they knew some things about the different planets. 177 00:16:55.639 --> 00:17:02.000 For example, one of the planets, when you look at it in the night, it's red. 178 00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:05.824 You know what planet? 179 00:17:05.834 --> 00:17:08.377 Which is the red planet? 180 00:17:08.387 --> 00:17:09.870 Mars, exactly. 181 00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:16.767 And so, red is often associated with certain things in our world. 182 00:17:16.777 --> 00:17:17.836 Like what? 183 00:17:17.846 --> 00:17:21.660 What are common things that are red? 184 00:17:21.670 --> 00:17:23.200 Blood, exactly. 185 00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.023 You cut yourself, you see red. 186 00:17:26.033 --> 00:17:33.490 And so, Mars is associated with blood or war, because in war there's a lot of blood. 187 00:17:33.500 --> 00:17:34.990 Things like that. 188 00:17:35.529 --> 00:17:43.726 And in that way, God can give a certain character to his story. 189 00:17:43.736 --> 00:17:53.884 Depending on where that red planet is, he tells a different part of the story. 190 00:17:53.894 --> 00:18:00.119 So, for example, here are the different planets. 191 00:18:01.890 --> 00:18:08.390 Jupiter is the biggest planet, and we'll look at that again a little bit later. 192 00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:12.670 But it has these bands on it, stripes on the planet. 193 00:18:13.099 --> 00:18:17.319 And if you have a nice enough telescope, you can actually see those. 194 00:18:19.900 --> 00:18:22.137 And there's Mars, the red planet. 195 00:18:22.147 --> 00:18:27.359 So, every planet has its different character that it brings to the story that 196 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:29.329 God is teaching. 197 00:18:29.339 --> 00:18:38.697 But have you ever seen anything other than the stars and planets in the sky? 198 00:18:38.707 --> 00:18:42.750 Sometimes there are other things. 199 00:18:43.069 --> 00:18:47.641 Maybe there's a shooting star, okay? 200 00:18:47.651 --> 00:18:55.017 And sometimes, more rarely, there are what we call comets. 201 00:18:55.027 --> 00:19:02.139 Now, a comet is something that comes from very far away. 202 00:19:02.149 --> 00:19:06.309 Here is a picture of a big comet. 203 00:19:06.579 --> 00:19:14.437 This one actually showed up a long, long time ago. 204 00:19:14.447 --> 00:19:19.476 And it has this big, wispy tail. 205 00:19:19.486 --> 00:19:23.710 And so, again, God uses it. 206 00:19:24.099 --> 00:19:25.999 It can represent his finger. 207 00:19:26.009 --> 00:19:27.638 He's pointing out there. 208 00:19:27.648 --> 00:19:29.460 He wants to show something. 209 00:19:30.509 --> 00:19:34.750 This particular comet that came in 1843. 210 00:19:34.760 --> 00:19:41.439 This is a picture that an artist painted of this comet in 1843. 211 00:19:41.449 --> 00:19:43.463 It was a big comet. 212 00:19:43.473 --> 00:19:46.730 Everybody was talking about it. 213 00:19:46.809 --> 00:19:55.620 And if you look carefully, you can even see He drew in the stars of Orion. 214 00:19:55.630 --> 00:19:58.607 There's three belt stars. 215 00:19:58.617 --> 00:20:02.049 There's four stars around it. 216 00:20:02.829 --> 00:20:07.137 And then the little ones in the middle. 217 00:20:07.147 --> 00:20:13.884 But that just shows that this comet was connected with Orion. 218 00:20:13.894 --> 00:20:17.630 But that's not my point right now. 219 00:20:18.750 --> 00:20:22.694 But God uses other objects. 220 00:20:22.704 --> 00:20:34.100 And they're all like pointers that point to different places in the night sky. 221 00:20:34.110 --> 00:20:42.710 Now, these comets don't have to follow the line of the sun. 222 00:20:43.549 --> 00:20:47.323 Remember, we had that line that I put in there? 223 00:20:47.333 --> 00:20:52.149 The sun goes along this line, and all the planets follow it. 224 00:20:52.159 --> 00:20:54.487 But the comets don't have to. 225 00:20:54.497 --> 00:20:58.000 They can come in from many different places. 226 00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:10.210 And so, God can use comets as a way to point somewhere else besides just those constellations where the sun travels. 227 00:21:13.299 --> 00:21:20.157 Now, if you look at this picture, it shows the whole solar system. 228 00:21:20.167 --> 00:21:23.170 Here's the sun in the middle. 229 00:21:24.890 --> 00:21:31.168 And then all the planets are going around in that area. 230 00:21:31.178 --> 00:21:38.930 But the comets, come from this big cloud far, far away from the sun. 231 00:21:40.740 --> 00:21:45.039 And this is like the path of one coming way, far, far, far away. 232 00:21:45.710 --> 00:21:52.999 And then it comes close to the sun, whips around, and goes back way far away again. 233 00:21:53.009 --> 00:22:03.099 And it takes thousands, sometimes tens of thousands or millions of years that it would take for that comet to come. 234 00:22:04.259 --> 00:22:05.819 So they only come once often. 235 00:22:08.529 --> 00:22:11.891 There are some comets that come closer more often. 236 00:22:11.901 --> 00:22:14.657 You've heard of Halley's Comet, probably. 237 00:22:14.667 --> 00:22:17.740 At least in the north, we have Halley's Comet. 238 00:22:19.210 --> 00:22:22.571 And it comes every so many years. 239 00:22:22.581 --> 00:22:25.026 Those are closer comets. 240 00:22:25.036 --> 00:22:30.619 But there are the comets that come once, and that's it. 241 00:22:31.230 --> 00:22:35.664 They come from this cloud that's far, far away. 242 00:22:35.674 --> 00:22:45.202 It's the furthest thing away from the solar system that can still be called part of our solar system. 243 00:22:45.212 --> 00:22:47.740 And they call this a cloud. 244 00:22:49.690 --> 00:22:55.992 And the reason for that comes from what a comet actually is. 245 00:22:56.002 --> 00:22:59.783 Do you know what a comet is made of? 246 00:22:59.793 --> 00:23:02.524 A comet is actually water. 247 00:23:02.534 --> 00:23:05.130 Most of it is just water. 248 00:23:07.109 --> 00:23:08.917 But it's very far away. 249 00:23:08.927 --> 00:23:12.778 And so the sun isn't there to give it any warmth. 250 00:23:12.788 --> 00:23:14.339 So, it's really ice. 251 00:23:15.069 --> 00:23:18.727 They're just ice stones that come. 252 00:23:18.737 --> 00:23:24.975 And as they come closer to the sun, the sun warms them up. 253 00:23:24.985 --> 00:23:28.299 And some of that ice comes off. 254 00:23:30.230 --> 00:23:33.265 And that's why they make that cloud. 255 00:23:33.275 --> 00:23:35.299 And they look beautiful. 256 00:23:35.309 --> 00:23:40.769 It's because of all the water that's coming off of that ice core. 257 00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:50.088 And a cloud, of course, in the sky is also water. 258 00:23:50.098 --> 00:23:52.924 It's made from water drops. 259 00:23:52.934 --> 00:23:57.309 And even our clouds are often cold enough. 260 00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:02.711 If you actually were to go there, it's cold. 261 00:24:02.721 --> 00:24:07.771 And they are often ice crystals in the clouds. 262 00:24:07.781 --> 00:24:14.349 So when we talk about comets, they're represented by clouds. 263 00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:17.407 And we even call it a cloud. 264 00:24:17.417 --> 00:24:23.797 And those comets come from the big cloud, which is called the Oort cloud. 265 00:24:23.807 --> 00:24:28.069 It is named after an astronomer who had the idea. 266 00:24:30.220 --> 00:24:38.740 So I want to talk about a special comet that we've learned a lot from. 267 00:24:42.410 --> 00:24:45.640 Now, I have a video that I want to play. 268 00:24:58.309 --> 00:24:59.946 Largest Known. 269 00:24:59.956 --> 00:25:01.709 First Activity. 270 00:25:01.719 --> 00:25:04.525 1000 times more massive. 271 00:25:04.535 --> 00:25:06.960 Astronomers thrilled. 272 00:25:08.859 --> 00:25:15.333 Discovered on the birthday of Jesus Christ in 2014. 273 00:25:15.343 --> 00:25:21.680 Perihelion exactly 2000 years after His ascension. 274 00:25:27.569 --> 00:25:30.960 Every aspect signifies His return. 275 00:25:37.329 --> 00:25:43.180 It comes from a cloud, the Oort cloud. 276 00:25:48.569 --> 00:26:03.210 It is the sign of the Son of man Coming in a cloud. 277 00:26:09.380 --> 00:26:23.529 First seen in the clock Horologium constellation. 278 00:26:30.019 --> 00:26:31.349 Watch therefore. 279 00:26:42.970 --> 00:26:45.089 Comet Origin Andromeda. 280 00:26:48.660 --> 00:26:50.049 It comes with a chain. 281 00:26:54.650 --> 00:27:02.690 And I saw an angel come down from heaven having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 282 00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:19.130 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent which is the devil and Satan and bound him 1000 years. 283 00:27:25.069 --> 00:27:26.609 Times have changed. 284 00:27:34.170 --> 00:27:36.759 Visit White Cloud Farm. 285 00:27:39.950 --> 00:27:42.210 Because He comes in the clouds. 286 00:27:44.210 --> 00:27:49.670 So there you saw an example of a comet. 287 00:27:49.680 --> 00:28:01.020 Just like this one, that came from the Oort cloud and is now in our solar system. 288 00:28:01.030 --> 00:28:03.390 So we can see it. 289 00:28:04.369 --> 00:28:06.483 It's been observed. 290 00:28:06.493 --> 00:28:19.620 And for those of you who were able to see what was written in the video, it has many very interesting characteristics. 291 00:28:19.630 --> 00:28:24.950 For example, it was discovered on a special day. 292 00:28:26.630 --> 00:28:31.188 Who caught it from the video? 293 00:28:31.198 --> 00:28:37.170 It was discovered on Jesus's birthday. 294 00:28:37.180 --> 00:28:40.166 Now, not Christmas. 295 00:28:40.176 --> 00:28:48.319 Because in the Bible, they had a different calendar. 296 00:28:49.710 --> 00:29:00.542 And when you study that, and you study out when Jesus was actually born, it points to a different date. 297 00:29:00.552 --> 00:29:07.799 And it's easy to remember because we want Jesus how much of the time? 298 00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:12.455 We want him 24-7, right? 299 00:29:12.465 --> 00:29:21.823 And Jesus's birthday is the 24th day of the seventh Hebrew month. 300 00:29:21.833 --> 00:29:26.420 So it makes it easy to remember. 301 00:29:30.819 --> 00:29:35.210 It's on the Hebrew calendar, not on our calendar. 302 00:29:35.220 --> 00:29:37.370 It comes around October. 303 00:29:37.380 --> 00:29:39.690 It's different every year. 304 00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:48.909 And when this comet was discovered, it was exactly on that day in 2014, on Jesus's birthday, 305 00:29:48.919 --> 00:29:54.079 that they found this comet in the pictures of their telescope. 306 00:29:55.809 --> 00:29:57.532 So that's interesting. 307 00:29:57.542 --> 00:29:59.655 How often does that happen? 308 00:29:59.665 --> 00:30:01.289 Well, not very often. 309 00:30:02.269 --> 00:30:04.830 And that's just one point. 310 00:30:04.840 --> 00:30:13.890 Another thing is when it comes closest to the sun, this comet comes from thousands of years. 311 00:30:13.890 --> 00:30:20.269 It's been traveling for thousands and thousands of years, from the Oort cloud, thousands of years. 312 00:30:21.869 --> 00:30:34.271 And then at that very point, when it comes closest to the sun, it's exactly 2 ,000 years after Jesus gave his life on the cross, 313 00:30:34.281 --> 00:30:36.500 after his crucifixion. 314 00:30:36.500 --> 00:30:42.845 Exactly 2,000 years is when that comet comes closest to the sun. 315 00:30:42.855 --> 00:30:52.759 Now, this was a big sensation in the news when it was first discovered that it was actually a comet. 316 00:30:54.119 --> 00:31:01.670 See, they discovered it in 2014 on Jesus's birthday, but they didn't realize that it was a comet at that time. 317 00:31:03.289 --> 00:31:10.726 They thought it was an asteroid or something along those lines. 318 00:31:10.736 --> 00:31:24.299 But then in 2021, they saw a fuzziness when the ice makes the cloud on the comet, and then they saw that fuzziness. 319 00:31:25.250 --> 00:31:35.410 And they observed that for the first time in 2021, that it actually was a comet that came from the Oort cloud. 320 00:31:37.569 --> 00:31:41.268 So that was interesting also. 321 00:31:41.278 --> 00:31:50.069 Many, many different characteristics about this comet point to Jesus. 322 00:31:51.799 --> 00:32:07.521 And therefore, it makes you think, what is God really trying to say by using a pointer in the sky that is very connected with Jesus? 323 00:32:07.531 --> 00:32:14.309 Both his birth and his death are connected to this comet. 324 00:32:16.259 --> 00:32:29.235 And then where did we discover that comet in 2021 when it was first discovered that it was a comet? 325 00:32:29.245 --> 00:32:34.740 We saw it here on the clock constellation. 326 00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:46.724 Now, we put a picture here just to illustrate it a little bit clearer, because a lot of times, you just see these three stars, 327 00:32:46.734 --> 00:32:48.790 but you can imagine it. 328 00:32:48.800 --> 00:32:51.200 You can imagine the picture. 329 00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:58.195 And what time on the clock is it pointing to? 330 00:32:58.205 --> 00:33:03.067 One of the kids could answer that. 331 00:33:03.077 --> 00:33:11.943 What time on the clock is the hand pointing to, the hour hand? 332 00:33:11.953 --> 00:33:17.387 It's pointing to three o'clock, right? 333 00:33:17.397 --> 00:33:19.359 Is that clear? 334 00:33:20.380 --> 00:33:20.871 Okay. 335 00:33:20.881 --> 00:33:27.960 Is there anything interesting about three o'clock with respect to Jesus? 336 00:33:27.970 --> 00:33:32.198 What in Jesus's life happened at that time? 337 00:33:32.208 --> 00:33:41.420 You know, we have this comet that points to his birth and his death, his life, in other words. 338 00:33:42.220 --> 00:33:46.642 And in the Bible, there's something recorded. 339 00:33:46.652 --> 00:33:54.023 There's only one time that mentions a specific time of day in Jesus's life. 340 00:33:54.033 --> 00:33:57.059 And it mentions that very hour. 341 00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:03.170 Now, in Bible times, they measured time a little bit differently than we do. 342 00:34:04.900 --> 00:34:14.290 They didn't have the time measured from midnight until midnight, but they divided the night separately from the daytime. 343 00:34:14.300 --> 00:34:18.360 So when the sun would rise, that was the first hour. 344 00:34:19.860 --> 00:34:24.344 And then at noon, that was the sixth hour. 345 00:34:24.354 --> 00:34:29.265 And then at sunset, that was the twelfth hour. 346 00:34:29.275 --> 00:34:33.420 So that's how they measured their time. 347 00:34:34.340 --> 00:34:38.868 It was about how many hours of the day had passed. 348 00:34:38.878 --> 00:34:43.940 So at three o'clock, what hour of the day would that be? 349 00:34:46.380 --> 00:34:59.000 If sunset and sunrise were around six o 'clock, and you count six hours to noon, and three more hours, that brings you to nine o'clock. 350 00:34:59.010 --> 00:35:04.610 Not nine o'clock, the ninth hour, the ninth hour of the day. 351 00:35:04.610 --> 00:35:10.081 That's how the Bible described it. 352 00:35:10.092 --> 00:35:18.289 Let's look at that in Mark chapter 15 and verse 25. 353 00:35:24.050 --> 00:35:33.449 So it's describing, if we look at verse 24, it's describing the time of his life at his death. 354 00:35:36.659 --> 00:35:45.800 In verse 24, it says, and when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. 355 00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:54.141 And then in verse 25, and it was the third hour. 356 00:35:54.151 --> 00:35:57.846 So what is the third hour? 357 00:35:57.856 --> 00:36:05.510 Six o'clock would be sunrise, first hour, second hour. 358 00:36:05.940 --> 00:36:10.498 The third hour would be nine o'clock, as we're used to it. 359 00:36:10.508 --> 00:36:13.170 That was when Jesus was crucified. 360 00:36:13.929 --> 00:36:16.733 He was put on the cross at nine o'clock. 361 00:36:16.743 --> 00:36:20.107 It's interesting, that's where we see the comet. 362 00:36:20.117 --> 00:36:21.920 It's also at nine o'clock. 363 00:36:24.699 --> 00:36:28.748 Okay, but that wasn't the only time. 364 00:36:28.758 --> 00:36:40.566 If we continue on a little bit later in verse 33, it says when the sixth hour was come, so that was noon. 365 00:36:40.576 --> 00:36:43.929 What we would call 12 o'clock. 366 00:36:44.929 --> 00:36:56.962 When the sixth hour was come, suddenly there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 367 00:36:56.972 --> 00:37:01.460 So this was a surprise to the people. 368 00:37:01.610 --> 00:37:07.360 It's high noon, the sun is out, but over the cross it became very dark. 369 00:37:08.690 --> 00:37:13.914 There was darkness over the whole land for three hours. 370 00:37:13.925 --> 00:37:17.809 From the sixth hour until the ninth hour. 371 00:37:20.949 --> 00:37:34.025 And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachtani, which is being interpreted, My God, my God, 372 00:37:34.035 --> 00:37:36.679 why hast thou forsaken me? 373 00:37:38.860 --> 00:37:44.110 And some of them that stood by when they heard it said, Behold, he calleth Elias. 374 00:37:45.530 --> 00:37:48.382 They had the same language problems that we do. 375 00:37:48.392 --> 00:37:55.059 They didn't understand what he was actually saying because he wasn't speaking their language and they guessed. 376 00:37:57.690 --> 00:38:08.889 But then in verse 37, Jesus cried out with a loud voice and he gave up the ghost, so he died. 377 00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:14.210 That was at the ninth hour. 378 00:38:14.220 --> 00:38:19.510 So here are the different times we have. 379 00:38:19.520 --> 00:38:27.699 He was put on the cross at the third hour or our nine o'clock. 380 00:38:28.820 --> 00:38:36.370 And then at noon there was darkness all the way until three o'clock. 381 00:38:36.380 --> 00:38:40.266 And what happened at three o'clock? 382 00:38:40.276 --> 00:38:42.719 That was when he died. 383 00:38:42.729 --> 00:38:51.360 Okay, so this clock in heaven, by the way, this is in the southern hemisphere. 384 00:38:53.750 --> 00:39:01.678 So that means that it can be seen in our sky at night, the stars are faint. 385 00:39:01.688 --> 00:39:07.714 So if there's too much light, you can't see it very well. 386 00:39:07.724 --> 00:39:11.510 But it can be seen in our night sky. 387 00:39:13.300 --> 00:39:19.090 But this clock is pointing to the hour that Jesus died. 388 00:39:21.429 --> 00:39:27.513 So this adds to the special things that we saw about the comet. 389 00:39:27.523 --> 00:39:39.099 Because not only was this comet discovered on Jesus's birthday, it comes closest to the sun 2,000 years after his death. 390 00:39:41.110 --> 00:39:48.889 But also it's in the clock that points exactly to the hour of his crucifixion. 391 00:39:55.030 --> 00:40:07.036 And if we look at the path of the comet, this shows where the comet has been and then where it's going. 392 00:40:07.046 --> 00:40:14.380 As of 2021, this is when it was first discovered to be a comet. 393 00:40:16.269 --> 00:40:20.874 Now it's already out here somewhere. 394 00:40:20.884 --> 00:40:25.616 It's already coming out of the clock. 395 00:40:25.626 --> 00:40:38.780 And these three loops took place as the comet moved across that loop over the course of an entire year. 396 00:40:40.530 --> 00:40:50.996 The comet is actually just moving straight, but because the earth moves around the sun, we see the comet in a different way. 397 00:40:51.006 --> 00:40:54.974 And so it looks like it's in a different place. 398 00:40:54.984 --> 00:40:56.989 That's why it does that. 399 00:40:57.230 --> 00:41:03.316 But the interesting thing is what this is showing. 400 00:41:03.326 --> 00:41:11.726 For example, in the middle, it circles 12 o'clock, exactly that hour. 401 00:41:11.736 --> 00:41:15.489 I mean, this could be anywhere. 402 00:41:17.159 --> 00:41:29.750 It's really interesting that it circles exactly that hour, also one of the hours of when the sun became dark over Jesus's crucifixion. 403 00:41:32.659 --> 00:41:54.480 Now that's interesting, but as we were studying this, something happened in the world that made it even more interesting. 404 00:41:54.490 --> 00:41:59.349 Maybe you even remember it. 405 00:42:01.269 --> 00:42:06.225 This is a picture over the Pacific Ocean. 406 00:42:06.235 --> 00:42:11.916 There's a tiny island there called Hunga Tonga. 407 00:42:11.926 --> 00:42:16.500 You can't even see it in this picture. 408 00:42:19.059 --> 00:42:24.348 And that island, it's from a volcano. 409 00:42:24.358 --> 00:42:29.788 And on January 15th, 2022, it erupted. 410 00:42:29.798 --> 00:42:38.639 Now for most people, okay, volcanoes erupt all over the world. 411 00:42:39.269 --> 00:42:43.955 You hear about it for a week and it goes away. 412 00:42:43.965 --> 00:42:56.179 This volcano really had so many different characteristics about it that the scientists have been studying it ever since. 413 00:42:56.849 --> 00:43:02.889 There's still articles that are being written and published about this volcano and what happened. 414 00:43:03.929 --> 00:43:07.437 Because it was very unique. 415 00:43:07.447 --> 00:43:15.113 This is the island, what it looked like before the volcano. 416 00:43:15.123 --> 00:43:20.300 On January 6th, 2022, that was its form. 417 00:43:21.449 --> 00:43:28.342 And then on January 15th, but before the eruption happened. 418 00:43:28.352 --> 00:43:37.697 You see, the day before, on January 14th, it erupted, but just a small eruption. 419 00:43:37.707 --> 00:43:44.929 And in that eruption, you can see how it made the island sink. 420 00:43:45.849 --> 00:43:49.383 It formed a little bit more out here. 421 00:43:49.393 --> 00:43:51.972 It changed it a little bit. 422 00:43:51.982 --> 00:43:57.309 And the main part of the volcano, now it was underwater. 423 00:43:59.199 --> 00:44:06.614 So all that water was going inside where the hot magma is of the volcano. 424 00:44:06.624 --> 00:44:12.210 And that made it explode on January 15th, the next day. 425 00:44:12.220 --> 00:44:19.920 And then after that, it almost completely just obliterated the whole island. 426 00:44:21.300 --> 00:44:24.704 It wasn't an inhabited island. 427 00:44:24.714 --> 00:44:26.757 It was very small. 428 00:44:26.767 --> 00:44:34.010 So it spew out a lot of water because it was from under the sea. 429 00:44:42.610 --> 00:44:47.269 Okay, now I want to show you a Bible verse. 430 00:44:47.279 --> 00:44:50.422 And it comes from Revelation. 431 00:44:50.432 --> 00:44:54.530 And we'll see how this connects to it. 432 00:44:56.449 --> 00:45:02.050 All right, Revelation chapter 18 and verse 21. 433 00:45:02.060 --> 00:45:09.243 This chapter in Revelation talks about the fall of Babylon. 434 00:45:09.253 --> 00:45:13.130 Now Babylon was an ancient city. 435 00:45:15.340 --> 00:45:18.554 And they took Israel captive. 436 00:45:18.564 --> 00:45:21.667 So they were like the enemy. 437 00:45:21.677 --> 00:45:32.519 So when Revelation talks about Babylon, it's talking about the enemies of God and of God's people. 438 00:45:37.570 --> 00:45:42.843 And this chapter is talking about how Babylon will fall. 439 00:45:42.853 --> 00:45:52.260 Okay, so the destruction of this city, Babylon, it's talking about the destruction of God's enemies. 440 00:45:54.829 --> 00:46:09.440 And then in verse 21, it talks about a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea. 441 00:46:10.730 --> 00:46:14.205 Now what happens when you cast a big stone into the sea? 442 00:46:14.215 --> 00:46:15.705 Have you ever done that? 443 00:46:15.715 --> 00:46:18.550 A heavy, you throw a heavy stone into the sea. 444 00:46:21.300 --> 00:46:23.545 It goes down usually with a boop. 445 00:46:23.555 --> 00:46:27.559 And then what happens after the stone goes under the water? 446 00:46:28.139 --> 00:46:29.641 What comes up? 447 00:46:29.651 --> 00:46:32.011 A lot of water, right? 448 00:46:32.021 --> 00:46:39.079 That heavy rock, it goes down and then a bunch of water sprays up. 449 00:46:39.909 --> 00:46:42.913 It's kind of like what happened with the volcano. 450 00:46:42.923 --> 00:46:44.456 It's just a relationship. 451 00:46:44.466 --> 00:46:47.940 There are many other reasons why we look at this volcano. 452 00:46:50.190 --> 00:46:58.612 But anyway, thus with violence shall that great city, Babylon, be thrown down. 453 00:46:58.622 --> 00:47:01.861 So God is making a comparison. 454 00:47:01.871 --> 00:47:08.329 A comparison with this illustration of throwing a big stone. 455 00:47:10.199 --> 00:47:16.016 You know, a millstone is what they used to make flour. 456 00:47:16.026 --> 00:47:22.489 You know, in ancient times, they didn't have electric mills. 457 00:47:22.499 --> 00:47:30.019 So they would use a big stone and they would put the wheat in between. 458 00:47:30.269 --> 00:47:38.642 And they would grind the stones together and make flour that way. 459 00:47:38.652 --> 00:47:41.872 And they were very heavy. 460 00:47:41.882 --> 00:47:49.719 So it gave them a good illustration of what it would be like. 461 00:47:49.789 --> 00:47:54.638 And that would be the way Babylon would be destroyed. 462 00:47:54.648 --> 00:48:01.143 It would be like throwing a big heavy stone, a millstone, into the sea. 463 00:48:01.153 --> 00:48:05.250 And then it wouldn't be found anymore at all. 464 00:48:08.489 --> 00:48:10.941 Now these are symbols. 465 00:48:10.951 --> 00:48:13.514 It's just a comparison. 466 00:48:13.524 --> 00:48:15.510 God is comparison. 467 00:48:15.510 --> 00:48:22.429 He even says the angel took up a stone like a great millstone. 468 00:48:22.439 --> 00:48:29.024 So he's using this as an example for how Babylon will fall. 469 00:48:29.034 --> 00:48:35.599 All right, so now let's start to put these pieces together. 470 00:48:36.800 --> 00:48:42.352 The clock, the volcano, and this millstone. 471 00:48:42.362 --> 00:48:49.980 Okay, in this picture, this is looking back at the heavens. 472 00:48:49.990 --> 00:48:54.489 And this is exactly on the volcano. 473 00:48:56.289 --> 00:48:59.986 Okay, we're in the middle of the ocean. 474 00:48:59.996 --> 00:49:06.157 And it's quite distorted because we're looking at the entire sky. 475 00:49:06.167 --> 00:49:09.369 So here's north and there's south. 476 00:49:10.110 --> 00:49:19.051 So from one end of the sky to the other, you have the whole sky around all in this picture. 477 00:49:19.061 --> 00:49:30.449 All right, and directly in the middle, that's what these green lines are for, to show exactly the middle of the sky. 478 00:49:30.630 --> 00:49:35.909 So that would be looking straight up if you were on the tip of the volcano. 479 00:49:35.940 --> 00:49:43.567 And that point magnified here comes right there at the base of this constellation. 480 00:49:43.577 --> 00:49:49.345 It's helpful to have the picture just to kind of visualize it. 481 00:49:49.355 --> 00:49:55.940 But you can see why they visualized it like that, pouring out of water. 482 00:49:59.480 --> 00:50:04.201 And there's a story related to this constellation. 483 00:50:04.211 --> 00:50:06.383 There are many stories. 484 00:50:06.393 --> 00:50:16.949 You know, the heavens are like, I don't know if you have seen they have a lot of times felt boards for children. 485 00:50:19.619 --> 00:50:26.175 Where you have a fuzzy board, and then you have little cutouts of people, different characters. 486 00:50:26.185 --> 00:50:32.800 You put a scene on the board, and then you have the characters, and they all stick to the board. 487 00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:37.608 You know what I'm talking about? 488 00:50:37.618 --> 00:50:40.920 That's kind of how it is with the stars. 489 00:50:41.880 --> 00:50:48.527 They're all different characters that God has on his felt board. 490 00:50:48.537 --> 00:50:58.289 And sometimes you use the same one in different stories to tell a different part of the story. 491 00:51:03.369 --> 00:51:19.865 And so in one example, one story, this constellation, it represents God the Father, giving life-giving water, 492 00:51:19.875 --> 00:51:24.860 the water of life to his people. 493 00:51:24.929 --> 00:51:28.150 He's pouring that out. 494 00:51:28.160 --> 00:51:37.381 So anyway, the story is that he's filling the sea, so to speak. 495 00:51:37.391 --> 00:51:44.690 So all this ocean is at the base of his water pot. 496 00:51:44.739 --> 00:51:50.633 He's pouring it out, and he's filling the sea. 497 00:51:50.643 --> 00:51:58.330 This is, he's called Aquarius, because he's filling the sea. 498 00:51:58.340 --> 00:52:11.260 Now at this very time, when the volcano erupted, there was another comet at the top in the water pot. 499 00:52:13.820 --> 00:52:25.289 And we were following that comet, watching what was happening, because we recognized it as coming into the sea, because of its position. 500 00:52:25.289 --> 00:52:40.292 It had come into Aquarius, and so we were connecting that with this verse, where it says, a mighty angel, a mighty angel, you know, 501 00:52:40.302 --> 00:52:41.437 a person, 502 00:52:41.447 --> 00:52:45.559 a being in heaven is like an angel. 503 00:52:46.769 --> 00:52:53.039 By the way, the word angel in the Bible, it just means a messenger. 504 00:52:54.539 --> 00:52:57.698 So many things can serve as angels. 505 00:52:57.708 --> 00:53:04.839 It doesn't have to be a person, or with wings, or however you imagine an angel. 506 00:53:04.849 --> 00:53:08.710 But it can be, it can take different forms. 507 00:53:08.880 --> 00:53:10.712 It's just giving a message. 508 00:53:10.722 --> 00:53:15.599 A messenger delivers a message, and that's called an angel in the Bible. 509 00:53:18.269 --> 00:53:29.420 But this angel, mighty angel, took up a stone like, so it's not the millstone, but it's like a great millstone. 510 00:53:30.769 --> 00:53:37.638 So, okay, how is this comet like a millstone? 511 00:53:37.648 --> 00:53:44.669 Well, notice Jupiter is also here in Aquarius. 512 00:53:44.679 --> 00:53:50.460 Now, Jupiter is an interesting planet. 513 00:53:52.849 --> 00:53:58.513 Many years ago, they were able to take some footage. 514 00:53:58.523 --> 00:54:04.732 The Voyager went around Jupiter, and this is what it saw. 515 00:54:04.742 --> 00:54:12.019 Now, these are the bands on Jupiter, and you notice they're moving. 516 00:54:13.480 --> 00:54:18.587 Some are coming this way, some going that way. 517 00:54:18.597 --> 00:54:23.705 Every band is going in the opposite direction. 518 00:54:23.715 --> 00:54:28.267 And that's exactly how a millstone works. 519 00:54:28.277 --> 00:54:38.130 You have two stones, two circular stones, and they're going in opposite directions, okay? 520 00:54:38.130 --> 00:54:50.389 Usually, the one is stationary, and you turn the other one, but it's the same effect, but you get the idea. 521 00:54:50.599 --> 00:54:54.956 It's like a millstone, all right? 522 00:54:54.966 --> 00:55:03.284 So, that is what gives this comet the character of a millstone. 523 00:55:03.294 --> 00:55:09.480 It's like, in the same area, a millstone, okay? 524 00:55:10.699 --> 00:55:18.449 So, here we have a symbol that connects to this verse in the Bible. 525 00:55:19.429 --> 00:55:30.070 We have the mighty angel taking up a stone, Aquarius taking up the comet like a great millstone. 526 00:55:31.519 --> 00:55:41.428 Jupiter is the big, it's the biggest planet, the great millstone, and cast it into the sea. 527 00:55:41.438 --> 00:55:48.179 And here's the stone at the water pot being cast into the sea. 528 00:55:50.070 --> 00:56:00.809 And this is at the very moment when a big eruption happens in the sea. 529 00:56:07.219 --> 00:56:11.699 And then it gives the comparison, and this is important. 530 00:56:11.710 --> 00:56:20.340 It says, thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. 531 00:56:21.489 --> 00:56:24.619 So, Babylon, again, represents God's enemies. 532 00:56:26.469 --> 00:56:39.041 And God is using this volcano eruption that happened at this time as an illustration to say, like this, Babylon is going to fall. 533 00:56:39.051 --> 00:56:42.940 So now, let's connect that to the clock. 534 00:56:47.710 --> 00:56:58.829 Okay, so here is our comet, the one we saw the video about, that's connected with the Son of Man. 535 00:57:00.760 --> 00:57:06.407 Now, I've put a cross there because this points to the hours. 536 00:57:06.417 --> 00:57:13.630 We saw how the comet is coming in at the hour when Jesus was put on the cross. 537 00:57:15.719 --> 00:57:22.789 It's circling midnight, I mean, 12 o'clock, when there was darkness over the land. 538 00:57:24.130 --> 00:57:30.416 And it points to 3 o'clock, and there we have a cross. 539 00:57:30.426 --> 00:57:36.131 And of course, he was buried just before evening. 540 00:57:36.141 --> 00:57:43.340 So all those four points are reflected in Jesus's crucifixion. 541 00:57:46.039 --> 00:57:51.980 But here's this comet, and guess where it was at the time that that volcanic eruption happened? 542 00:57:53.590 --> 00:58:05.809 At the very moment when we saw that sign in Aquarius, that comet was right at 12 o'clock. 543 00:58:08.289 --> 00:58:18.412 That is, and it's connected with the fall of Babylon from the Bible verse that we saw. 544 00:58:18.422 --> 00:58:24.650 So this is how God is showing us a time on the clock. 545 00:58:26.019 --> 00:58:33.908 He's saying, right now, boom, when this volcanic eruption happens, it's 12 o'clock. 546 00:58:33.918 --> 00:58:38.280 And remember what happened at the crucifixion? 547 00:58:39.210 --> 00:58:40.919 It became dark. 548 00:58:40.929 --> 00:58:48.440 So this is a symbol for, you could say, the darkness in the world. 549 00:58:49.940 --> 00:58:53.440 It's a dark time, especially for Babylon. 550 00:58:56.340 --> 00:59:02.280 Okay, so what does this mean about how Babylon will actually fall? 551 00:59:06.389 --> 00:59:14.030 This marks the hour on the clock, but there needs to be something else that tells us: 552 00:59:14.349 --> 00:59:20.719 Remember, because it says, like this, Babylon will fall. 553 00:59:24.039 --> 00:59:31.550 So like this, so at 12 o'clock, Babylon will fall. 554 00:59:32.789 --> 00:59:43.144 But we need something else to tell us when that 12 o'clock is going to happen, because that happens every day. 555 00:59:43.154 --> 00:59:52.662 Every day there's a 12 o'clock, and so we need to know, when is this picture going to actually apply? 556 00:59:52.672 --> 00:59:53.969 So guess what? 557 00:59:54.750 --> 01:00:07.518 God sent another comet, and this time this comet came flying through and points exactly to 12 o'clock, 558 01:00:07.528 --> 01:00:14.528 to the very line that we can draw with the other comet. 559 01:00:14.538 --> 01:00:22.039 Okay, and when that comet came through, I didn't mention it. 560 01:00:23.059 --> 01:00:27.144 These two comets, the one we watched the video about. 561 01:00:27.154 --> 01:00:32.769 That's about Jesus, it's the biggest comet that has ever been discovered. 562 01:00:35.420 --> 01:00:42.469 Prior to that comet, this comet was the biggest comet ever to be discovered. 563 01:00:43.480 --> 01:00:56.119 So here we have, in the clock constellation, the two biggest comets that have ever been discovered, until this very day. 564 01:00:58.670 --> 01:01:09.320 Now this constellation is not very big, it's just a little part of the sky, and these comets come from everywhere around the sky. 565 01:01:09.949 --> 01:01:15.639 So it's really quite remarkable that we would have two comets. 566 01:01:16.110 --> 01:01:20.849 Not just two comets, that would be remarkable enough, 567 01:01:20.859 --> 01:01:30.239 but the biggest two comets that have ever been discovered are right there on the clock at the same time. 568 01:01:32.480 --> 01:01:43.469 By the time this comet came in, the first one was a little bit further, but it was still in the clock. 569 01:01:44.820 --> 01:01:56.299 So we still had those two largest comets right there in the clock, and that points to, what did the Bible say? 570 01:01:56.309 --> 01:02:01.527 When that great city Babylon would be thrown down. 571 01:02:01.537 --> 01:02:07.570 Now when you throw down a city, do you do that in one day? 572 01:02:09.460 --> 01:02:16.343 The destruction of a city doesn't normally happen in one day, it's a process. 573 01:02:16.353 --> 01:02:22.690 And so what these comets are pointing to is the beginning of a process. 574 01:02:24.750 --> 01:02:35.710 And that process Jesus described it in Matthew 24 and verse 30. 575 01:02:35.720 --> 01:02:45.280 Then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. 576 01:02:48.769 --> 01:02:53.741 So he's talking, Jesus is talking about the sign of the Son of Man. 577 01:02:53.751 --> 01:02:59.530 And then immediately after, he says, then shall the tribes of the earth mourn. 578 01:03:02.530 --> 01:03:10.321 The tribes of the earth mourn because their city Babylon falls, right? 579 01:03:10.331 --> 01:03:17.780 Now if you don't believe me, then let's look back at Revelation 18. 580 01:03:19.119 --> 01:03:25.849 Because in this chapter, if we look earlier, the whole chapter is talking about the fall of Babylon. 581 01:03:29.179 --> 01:03:37.406 And it talks about three different classes of people, starting with verse 9. 582 01:03:37.416 --> 01:03:48.880 And in verse 9 it says, the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication, live deliciously with her. 583 01:03:48.949 --> 01:03:52.275 We don't, I won't talk about that. 584 01:03:52.285 --> 01:03:56.394 They will bewail her, they lament for her. 585 01:03:56.404 --> 01:04:01.960 So they're mourning, that's what Jesus was talking about. 586 01:04:02.980 --> 01:04:07.081 Then you'll see the sign of the Son of Man. 587 01:04:07.091 --> 01:04:11.860 And you will see the tribes of the earth mourning. 588 01:04:11.870 --> 01:04:19.099 All right, they're lamenting for her when they see the smoke of her burning. 589 01:04:22.170 --> 01:04:26.113 Okay, and then it talks more about that. 590 01:04:26.123 --> 01:04:32.136 Then it talks about, in verse 11, the merchants of the earth. 591 01:04:32.146 --> 01:04:38.139 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her. 592 01:04:40.300 --> 01:04:44.973 For no man buys her merchandise anymore. 593 01:04:44.983 --> 01:04:48.254 And then we go down further. 594 01:04:48.264 --> 01:04:56.539 Okay, yes, it says, for in one hour, so great riches is come to naught. 595 01:04:57.670 --> 01:05:02.564 And every ship master, there's the third group of people. 596 01:05:02.574 --> 01:05:10.043 And all the company and ships and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off. 597 01:05:10.053 --> 01:05:11.856 And what did they do? 598 01:05:11.866 --> 01:05:16.130 They cried when they saw the smoke of her burning. 599 01:05:16.769 --> 01:05:22.199 Saying, what city is like unto this great city? 600 01:05:22.209 --> 01:05:26.252 And it's all talking about Babylon. 601 01:05:26.262 --> 01:05:34.696 So in this chapter, it's describing exactly what Jesus was talking about. 602 01:05:34.706 --> 01:05:41.030 In Matthew 24, when he said, if I can get there, there. 603 01:05:41.570 --> 01:05:48.817 When he said, the tribes, then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn. 604 01:05:48.827 --> 01:05:55.666 That's pointing directly to Revelation 18 with the fall of Babylon. 605 01:05:55.676 --> 01:06:02.190 So that happens as the sign of the Son of Man appears in heaven. 606 01:06:04.400 --> 01:06:10.498 So at this time that we see on the clock, okay? 607 01:06:10.508 --> 01:06:16.477 When this comet came, it was in March of 2023. 608 01:06:16.487 --> 01:06:24.402 And that is exactly when the sign of the Son of Man appeared. 609 01:06:24.412 --> 01:06:31.130 So I'm going to show you the sign of the Son of Man. 610 01:06:37.500 --> 01:06:39.127 Here's our clock. 611 01:06:39.137 --> 01:06:46.796 And this is the comet, the path of that comet that was coming through the clock. 612 01:06:46.806 --> 01:06:52.530 I didn't show the other comet there, but it's there as well. 613 01:06:52.530 --> 01:06:57.958 All right, so this comet comes through. 614 01:06:57.968 --> 01:07:07.980 And over time, over the course of more than a year, it paints that line. 615 01:07:09.989 --> 01:07:28.099 At the same time, from March of 2023, this year, another comet was crossing the river and forming another part of this sign. 616 01:07:29.400 --> 01:07:33.441 We've been talking about this for a few weeks, 617 01:07:33.451 --> 01:07:43.369 and we will continue to do so because there is a lot of information that God is communicating through this sign. 618 01:07:48.110 --> 01:07:52.578 And I'm not going to cover much about that now, 619 01:07:52.588 --> 01:08:05.130 but I just wanted to introduce how we came to the timing of the sign of the Son of Man and how that relates to the fall of Babylon. 620 01:08:05.130 --> 01:08:14.920 Because when Jesus comes, which is after this process takes place. 621 01:08:14.930 --> 01:08:22.930 When Jesus comes, he will, of course, destroy Babylon. 622 01:08:24.189 --> 01:08:26.155 It's a process. 623 01:08:26.165 --> 01:08:33.241 And that process has already begun in different forms. 624 01:08:33.251 --> 01:08:42.010 We see the institutions of the world beginning to crumble and fall. 625 01:08:43.149 --> 01:08:46.340 And we see that with the banks. 626 01:08:46.350 --> 01:08:55.500 And the banks began, the big problems with the banks began exactly in March of this year. 627 01:08:57.739 --> 01:09:07.529 And we see the, you know, the riots in France, especially, and around the world, burning the cities. 628 01:09:09.750 --> 01:09:17.242 There are many other things that relate to the prophecies that point to the fall of Babylon. 629 01:09:17.252 --> 01:09:19.288 It's already in progress. 630 01:09:19.298 --> 01:09:22.779 But we haven't made it all the way through. 631 01:09:25.850 --> 01:09:34.170 There's still several months left until this sign is complete. 632 01:09:38.369 --> 01:09:42.464 So with that, I will stop for now. 633 01:09:42.474 --> 01:09:49.449 And we can talk more about this amazing sign another time. 634 01:09:51.239 --> 01:10:03.750 But this gives us an idea of how God has communicated the timing by putting these things together. 635 01:10:05.119 --> 01:10:14.710 The volcano that marks the time on the clock when we're looking and we see the comets, we understand their meaning. 636 01:10:16.140 --> 01:10:29.090 Like we wrote in the video, the comet, we called it even the sign of the Son of Man, because it was so connected with the Son of Man. 637 01:10:29.979 --> 01:10:38.689 And indeed, it pointed to the full picture of the sign of the Son of Man. 638 01:10:38.699 --> 01:10:43.949 There's so much to say, but we have to stop. 639 01:10:43.959 --> 01:10:48.949 So with that, let's have a word of prayer. 640 01:10:51.170 --> 01:10:52.236 All right. 641 01:10:52.246 --> 01:11:00.350 Dear Father in heaven, you are the Creator who created these amazing things. 642 01:11:00.360 --> 01:11:04.180 You knew the end from the beginning. 643 01:11:07.010 --> 01:11:12.060 And you know where all of the objects are in the heavens. 644 01:11:12.070 --> 01:11:19.770 And when we will observe them, and you know what's happening on the earth at that time. 645 01:11:22.539 --> 01:11:30.689 And you desire us to look in the heavens, to see these things, to understand the time. 646 01:11:32.000 --> 01:11:44.460 Because Jesus said, he was lamenting over Jerusalem, because they didn't know their time. 647 01:11:45.220 --> 01:11:52.359 They didn't know the time of their visitation, when they would be visited by the Lord. 648 01:11:55.130 --> 01:12:10.270 And so we thank you for showing us these things, that we can begin after studying to understand what Jesus was really pointing to. 649 01:12:11.819 --> 01:12:15.782 To understand the time that it refers to. 650 01:12:15.792 --> 01:12:19.174 To understand how your clock works. 651 01:12:19.184 --> 01:12:25.930 And we just praise you for your many works and wonders in the heavens. 652 01:12:27.170 --> 01:12:32.130 And also for what you've done in our lives on the earth. 653 01:12:35.039 --> 01:12:38.573 We thank you for that, for all that you've done. 654 01:12:38.583 --> 01:12:42.180 And you've shown us on the cross in your example. 655 01:12:42.659 --> 01:12:47.968 And we just praise your name. 656 01:12:47.978 --> 01:12:54.384 The name of Jesus, the wounded one. 657 01:12:54.394 --> 01:12:55.289 Amen.
