UNDERSTANDING TODAY'S EVENTS FROM THE BIBLES POINT OF VIEW
Minister Lisa Kane
27 नवंबर 2022

Objective:
Equip believers to interpret contemporary world events through the lens of biblical prophecy—especially Daniel 9, Jeremiah 25, and Matthew 24—by distinguishing Israel’s prophetic timetable from the Church age, clarifying the “70 years” versus the “70 weeks,” and urging watchfulness, repentance, and readiness for Christ’s return.
Synopsis:
The message opens in prayer and sets the aim: to understand “today’s events” from Scripture. It begins with Daniel 9:2 and Jeremiah 25:11–12, noting that Jeremiah’s 70 years of Babylonian captivity (literal years) are distinct from Daniel 9:24–27’s 70 weeks (shabua—weeks of years). The teaching walks through the Hebrew terms to emphasize this difference and then outlines the prophetic math: 7 weeks + 62 weeks = 69 weeks (483 years) leading to Messiah’s appearance and being “cut off,” leaving one week (7 years) still future.
The sermon frames Jesus’ first coming as fulfilling the first part of Daniel 9:24 (ending transgression/sin via the cross) and explains that the remaining goals (everlasting righteousness, sealing vision/prophecy, anointing the Most Holy) await completion in the final seven-year period often called the Tribulation. Between the 69th and 70th week, the “clock” for Israel pauses while the Church age (the “dispensation of grace”) advances the gospel.
Turning to Matthew 24:4–14, 32–44, the talk connects Jesus’ signs—spiritual deception, wars and rumors of wars, nation against nation, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, rising offense, false prophets, lawlessness, global gospel witness—to conditions visible in the modern world. The fig tree lesson underscores that while the exact day or hour is unknown, the season can be recognized; thus the call is to watchfulness.
Prophetically, the message highlights Ezekiel 38 (often associated with a Gog–Magog coalition) as a major signpost potentially near at hand and places the rapture in close proximity to such end-time events, with mention of the sealing of the 144,000 and the ministry of the two witnesses. Using the days of Noah analogy, it urges believers to live ready, protected in Christ, while the unprepared are caught off guard.
The sermon closes with an evangelistic appeal from Romans 10:9–13, inviting hearers to confess Jesus as Lord, submit to His headship, and actively “watch” by aligning their lives with God’s purposes, studying Scripture, and discerning the times.
Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above:
Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this on Sunday, November 27th, 2022. This message is called Understanding Today's Events from the Bible's Point of View. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message and we thank you for this message. We pray that it ministers to our hearts and minds. That our eyes are open to see, that our ears are open to hear, and that our hearts are open to receive, believe, apply, and live, and be watchful for what's coming. Lord, we thank you in the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. All right, this is an interesting message. Let's go to our opening scripture here. Daniel 9:2. In the first year of his reign, I Daniel understood by the books of the numbers of the years specified by the word of the Lord through Jamai Jeremiah the prophet that he would accomplish 70 years in the desolations of Jerusalem. Okay. So, first before I really delve into this message, I really want to just say that the Holy Spirit made it clear to teach this message. I started, you know, I I'm in the word of God every day, but Friday night, I was in the word of God from very early evening all the way till 11:30 at night. And then Saturday, as I finished putting this message together, I was blown away by it. I was like, "Wow, Lord, this is really neat." At the same time, my dad had emailed me uh a message he's been writing for the last few weeks, and it's a 20page document. I will be uploading that today with this message. So you'll get both at the same time. Now I finalized my message. I had, you know, we don't collaborate here on our messages that we teach. We just do what the Holy Spirit is teaching us. So as I started reading my dad's message to proofread it and get it in the format that it needs to be to upload. This is after I put my message together yesterday, I was blown away because it was the same topic I'm teaching on today. same most of the same scriptures. He delves into it a lot more in the numbers perspective. So, you're really going to be blessed by that. So, make sure that you also read his document. I'm going to put it in the book section and I'm going to put it in the published documents today with this video. So, and and then on top of it, when I was up this morning getting ready and uh just checking out my YouTube videos that I monitor and read and watch every day and uh I see that Pastor Jack Hibbs over there at Calvary Chapel in Chino Hills is on part two of understanding the times to, you know, watching for the signs, being watchful of the signs. And I thought, wow, we're all teaching the same message. So, this is very timely, very important, and I really truly want you to watch and pay attention to this message because I want to make sure that you understand that there is a misconception of teaching about not knowing when when there's a specific statement that Jesus says that, you know, we need to understand. He's telling us to be watchful, which means we should know or at least we have a window of time that we should know. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to take you back to Daniel and I'm going to show you his calculations of how he knew when Messiah was going to be born and that the Israelites still rejected Messiah. And of course that was all spiritual because the Lord was doing what he was doing. So I want you to see this because I what you see what happened with the Israelites can be applied to the church because God does everything the same way. He repeats cycles. So understand that, see that, and let's get into these scriptures because you're going to be your mind's going to open up with this. At least that's what I'm praying for. So let's read that scripture again. He says, "In the first year of reign, I Daniel understood by the books the number of the years specified by the word of the Lord through Jeremiah the prophet that he would accomplish 70 years in the desolations of Jerusalem." So let's go look at Jeremiah because Daniel's referring to Jeremiah. So let's take a look here. Jeremiah 25:11-12 says, "And this whole land shall be a desolation and an astonishment, and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon 70 years. Then it will come to pass when 70 years are completed that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Calaldanss, for their iniquity, says the Lord, and I will make it a perpetual desolation." Okay, understanding something very important here. Daniel was a captive in the nation of Babylon. He was taken into captivity when he was young, very very young. I don't know how old he was, but him, his three friends, if you read the whole book of Daniel, you will read about the lion's den. Daniel lines down you will read about history friends being thrown into the fiery pit or the fiery furnace that um was burned seven times hotter which is actually something to melt gold with. This is how they made their idols and stuff. So anyways you will read all that. So Daniel suddenly comes to the realization as he's reading Jeremiah the prophet 70 years is about to come up and he's like wait a second all of a sudden it it's like what's going to happen next Lord now remember Daniel if you read Daniel he's been given dreams and visions including King Nebuchadnezzar and God worked miracles through King Nebuchadnezzar even turned him into a werewolf for seven years you got to read these scriptures the book of Daniel is fascinating. This is something you you ought to know and read and understand it. So Daniel comes to the realization and he's like, "Lord, I I need to know what's going on." So he starts a 21-day fast. So this is where we're at in this concept. Okay? So first, let me show you what Jeremiah just said. Remember, he said 70 years of captivity. And notice I bolded the word years. Uh we can go back and look at that scripture here. I want you to see this because you need to understand the difference because there's a misconception teaching on this as well. But 70 years, years, years, the word is years. That means in the Hebrew it's something a little different. So what does the word years mean in Hebrew? In the Hebrew Strong's dictionary, Jeremiah 25:11, the word year, H8141 is shock or shah. And obviously I'm I'm not speaking that correctly, but I ask for forgiveness in that. And notice it says the first form being in plural only, the second form being feminine from H8138. It's a year as a revolution of time. And we know what a year is. 360 days. Now I do believe at one point they thought 360 days was a year. So either way, it's a cycle, a year. So 70 years of captivity was destined and prophesied by Jeremiah for the nation of Israel and most of the Israelites were taken into captivity and there were many living in in destitute. You can read uh Nehemiah and Ezra. Nehemiah goes to the king and he says to the king, you know, I need to go rebuild the walls. And um the king allows him to do it. So all this is happening during this time. Now let's look what Daniel does. So Daniel in the midst of all of this, he goes on a 21-day fast and he asks the Lord, "What's going to happen next?" And the Lord sends Gabriel. Now Gabriel has been fighting the prince of the air at that time. And Michael the archangel had to come in and help him because Gabriel couldn't leave his post. So, but he tells Daniel, "Hey, listen. I'm supposed to be here the day you immediately went and purposed yourself for the Lord, but I was held up. But I'm here now 21 days later. I am here to explain to you what's going on." So, this is the scriptures that we're going to look at right now. I want you to see this in Daniel what Gabriel is saying to Daniel. It says 70 weeks. This is Daniel 9:24-27. 70 weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city. Now, I want you to see something here. I want you to understand the why God is doing what he's doing and what his purpose is. Now, I've been teaching on this for several weeks now about getting in line with the purpose of God and not the purpose of self. This is very, very, very important. So, we have to understand what God is doing because he's not done with the nation of Israel. And this is a sign. This is why I want you to see how the nation of Israel applies to what the bride of Christ is supposed to be looking for. This is a very important message for the times of today. So he says, "Seven weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal a vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy." Verse 25. Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem until Messiah the prince, there shall be seven weeks and 62 weeks. The street shall be built again and the wall even in troublesome times. And that's what I was just referring to with Nehemiah. He went and rebuilt the walls and the streets in this troublesome time while they were in captivity. But the king allowed him to do it because he was the cup bearer's king. Uh the cup bearer to the king and he was able to he had favor on him and he was able to make it. So this time that Gabriel is telling Ne uh uh Daniel, he's telling him this is what's going on and this is what's going to happen. So look at this. Let's continue on here. Even in troublesome times now in verse 26. And after the 62 weeks, Messiah shall be cut off, but not for himself. And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with the flood until the end of the war desolations are determined. And then verse 27, then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week. But in the middle of the week he shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abomination shall be one who makes desolate even until the consummation which is determined is poured out on the desolate. Aha. Okay. First thing I need you to understand is the difference between what Jeremiah just spoke of and what Gabriel just gave Daniel. Keep in mind that the 70 years that Jeremiah talked about and prophesied for the nation of Israel was an exact 70 years. Daniel, the nation of Israel came out of captivity when the 70 years was up. That became complete. The book of Nehemiah records that. The book of Ezra records that. They record the families that came back to the nation of Israel. Very, very important to understand that that's different. So, Daniel, what Gabriel tells him is weeks. The word weeks. Now, that is a different word in the Hebrew. Let's go look up the definition of that because that's going to help us understand the calculations here. So the word weak in Daniel 9:24 and that whole section of what we just read in the Hebrew Strong's dictionary is H7620 is shaboua. It's properly passive participle of H7650 as a denominative of H7651 literally seven that is a week specifically of years 7 week sevenyear period is what this is about. So now we're talking weeks of seven years. So this is very very important that you understand that. Okay. So let's take a little bit of that calculations and understand it. Now my dad is going to uh elaborate further on this and he's going to show you the mystery behind it. All I'm doing is just scratching the surface because this message is already long as it is. So his 20page document, read it. Take your time. I read it yesterday and I was wow. It's powerful. So watch how this calculation works because Gabriel is telling Daniel when the Messiah is going to be born. This is very important. Daniel knew the nation of Israel knew what their Messiah would be born. Look at this. So 70 weeks, 70* 7 is 490 years. Now remember in Daniel 9:25 it says 7 and 62 weeks. So you take your seven times your seven, that's 49. Now, why? Okay, so the Bible breaks up the seven and the 62. My dad is going to elaborate on I didn't catch that. He did. You're going to want to see that. Initially, what I did was my math of totaling the whole number and everything. So, watch how this does it. So, 7 * 7 is 49. 62 * 7 is 434 years. 434 + 449 is 483 years. And again, I did my math that 62 + 7 is 69. 69 * 7 is 483 years. So comes to the same conclusion 483 years have happened to um punished that's punishment for the nation of Israel. Now it it also and remember these are the number of years to put an end to transgression, an end to iniquity. Oh, I think it's worth seeing that scripture again. Watch this because this is very important that you understand. So 490 years is set for this prophecy. So it says 70 weeks are determined. That's 490 years for your people and your holy city. And that is the nation of Israel and the city of Jerusalem. Now says to finish the transgression. What is the transgression? The fall of man. I've already taught all on the high level of this. You can go back into the past teachings of this. So to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation of in for iniquity, to bring in now, I'm going to tell you right now, Jesus did the first three there and he read it. He read this and he says to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity. And he stops there and he says this prophecy is fulfilled in your hearing. He was up in the synagogue. He opened the scroll. He read that prophecy. He said, "I'm completing that here and now." So that part of the prophecy has been fulfilled. Now, the second half hasn't. And remember, there's 490 years for this prophecy. So, the second half is to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting uh excuse me, to the second half is to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy. So that part still has to take place. So how do we deal with that? Because now we have to understand something here that is very very important that's going to lead us to today's event. So I'm going to conclude though Daniel's prophecy. I'm going to show you what happened here because you have to understand. So Gabriel gave this prophecy to Daniel. Daniel wrote it down and then Gabriel told him, "Seal it up because this is for the end times. This is for later times and knowledge will increase at that time." And that's exactly what's going on today. We're seeing scripture becoming revealing to us. Things are changing. We're we're seeing the understanding of things now. Notice there's a lot of teaching about the 70 weeks or excuse me, the 70 years that Jeremiah spoke of. There's teaching that says this 490 years is part of that. And it's not. It's separate. the the nation of Israel came out of captivity. That was captivity designed for the nation of Israel. They rebelled against God. They were sacrificing their kids, born children to fire. And I forget the name of the God that they were sacrificing to, but that's what they were doing. And you think our abortion, they doing it bad. I'm telling you, we're on the cusp right now of these end times about pro-choice, pro-life, and abortion. You guys don't want to go there. Look what happened to the nation of Israel. You just got to follow them and know that this was bad for them. God does not like abortion. He is for life, not death. Please understand that. Okay. So, Daniel calculated and knew. And in fact, Daniel could have wrote because he was in the witness when the decree came forward for the king to send Nehemiah to go rebuild the walls. That's day one of the 70 years that Jeremiah prophesied. So when the 70 years came to conclusion, Daniel was there. He says, "Here's day one of 490 years." And so when the 483rd year came, what happened? Let's go to Matthew. Matthew 2 1-2 says, "Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and have come to worship him." Daniel told the wise men and gave them the signs of what to look for, and they showed up. You will find that they found the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. That is our whole Christmas story, right? Oh, you could see prophecy fulfilled. So, 483 years came, Messiah is born. So, and and you know Messiah takes 30 he lived 33 years. So, you you got to do the math, back it up a little bit. We don't know the dates and the times, but we know that the the prophecy was fulfilled for 483 years, which means there is seven years left. So, what's going on now? So, I want you to see this calculation one more time because I want you to understand the math. So, look at this. 70 weeks, 490 years. We have the 483 years until Messiah the prince was cut off. So actually at his crucifix at his crucifixion was 483 years. So now you take the 490 minus the 4 we got 70 years remaining. So I've taught on this already. What happened is when Jesus was crucified the veil was torn in two. So there's no more this holy place or little place. It's open for everyone because now we go through Jesus to get to God. We have to have the Jesus headship over us in our current time. Here we are in what's called the dispensation of grace. Jesus fulfilled the law and he took it from the nation of Israel. He says, "Okay, because the nation of Israel witnessed to the world and says, "Here's the ten commandments. If you abide by these ten commandments, you're considered righteous." That was how to get righteousness in the Old Testament. Well, Jesus, and by the way, the nation of Israel says, "Hey, there's a Messiah coming, too. We're looking for him. When he gets here, he's going to be the Messiah. He's coming as our king." Well, Daniel says, "Your Messiah will be cut off in 483 years." He could have put a date down because he knew the date because he saw it. So, he actually shared it with his wise men and they showed up. They were watching for the signs and they showed up and the nation of Israel says, "You're not our Messiah." And they rejected him. So, Jesus says, "Okay." He takes the representation of the godhead from him, puts it on himself, Jesus, and he says, "I'm going to represent to the world that I am the son of God." And so what he does is he tells his bride, he says, "Listen, anybody who wants to believe in me in me, anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Listen, you're my bride. You're going to now witness to my people, to the world." And he says, "Here, you represent me, and I will come back." And in the meantime, he stopped the clock on the nation of Israel. Okay? So everything pauses for the nation of Israel. And and if you read a lot of the the and I just did a teaching on this, the parables, you will see that Jesus is telling them, I mean, get as many people as you can to come in to the the dinner, to the the the reception, for the wedding. You got to come in. Come on. Get as many as you can. And this is what we're teaching today. But he's telling you there's an end because I still got seven years to complete for the nation of Israel. So what are we going to be doing now? Because now we got to take a look at our signs that we're seeing today. And let's not miss it like the nation of Israel did because there is a reason for this. So we know that a rapture is going to take place. We know that Paul talks about it. There's a mystery there that the people living who already died in Christ, they're living in this world still alive. I count myself as one of them because I'm dead to this world. This world means nothing to me. What means to me is Jesus. He is my godhead. He is my Lord and Savior. I put him first. To put him last or second is the spirit of Antichrist, which is self. When you put yourself above Jesus, you're rejecting Jesus. Now, I want you to see something. This seven-year period that's coming, and I'm going to get into the signs here. The seven-year period that's coming is for everyone who rejected Messiah Jesus Christ as the son of God. So anyone who put self or anything else above Jesus is going to go through that seven-year period. Why do I say this? Because Jesus is saying his righteous Daniel was a righteous man. He knew Noah was a righteous man. He knew seven days before they were righteous men of God. And the righteous will have a blessing because we're not going to have to go through that wrath. We don't have to go through it. That is not for us. that is not for those that put Jesus as their godhead first. Okay. So now, how do I know that this is going to happen and it's going to happen in our lifetime? I really want you to see today's signs, today's events, and watch what we're looking for. Because even though we don't know that day, nor an hour, which is a mystery, read my dad's book. He's going to get into the mystery of that. I want you to see how specific that is. A day is six. An hour is 60 minutes. A day is 24 hours. But we know how to tell time by weeks, months, and years. And we also know how to tell time by the seasons, and the festivals of the nation of Israel. So, I'm telling you that we're going to have a window, and we're going to know that window. Those that are righteous, this is not for the um unbeliever. And it will be confusing to them. They're not going to understand any of this. it's not going to make any sense. So, let's start looking at these sign these signs because I want you to understand what you're looking for and how it's applying today because this is going to blow your mind away. Really, really, really. We're going to start here in Matthew 24. We're going to read verses 4-14. I'm going to break it up as we go along. And Jesus answered and said to them, "Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ and will deceive many." Pause. and the Mormons come and visit us. So, they've visited us a couple times now, but it started a couple months ago, maybe a little less than. But anyways, this one kid, he's telling me it was great. Jesus came back when the Indians were here and showed himself, and that's what he's taking from the Book of Mormon. Now, the Book of Mormon is written by a man named Mr. Mormon. And it's it's like, okay, well, maybe the Spirit of Christ was there. Either way, Christ is the Holy Bible. You need to go back to the Holy Bible. And he totally ignored that. So he but he thinks he's believing in the Christ because Christ was there in America. That was his philosophy. I And I don't mean to laugh at him. He's a young man. And I'm hoping that the Lord opens his mind. I've been praying for these guys. But I just need you to understand this deception is here. How many people are falling for this stuff about well Christ is over there, Christ came here, Christ did that. We're already seeing it. This is already fulfilled in our time if not already hundreds of years before us. Even Paul had to deal with it and when he was writing it in his New Testament. I'm telling you, people were falling for this left and right. So, uh, and we'll deceive many. Verse six, and you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. see that you are not troubled, for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet." So, we now know, I mean, we've had World War I, World War II, we've had the Korean War, the Vietnam War, we've had the Ukraine and Russia war, and I know I didn't even talk about the Middle East, the um Iraq war, and uh I we've had wars and we've had rumors war. We've got the threat of China invading Taiwan. We've got the threat of Russia and and collaborating with China and India and all of his uh allies there about coming into they're very angry right now with the nation of America because why? Because America is allowing in gay marriage, gay pride and all of these things and Russia is like that's wrong. And you know he may I don't know if he believes in God. I don't know if Putin believes in God or not. I don't know that. But what I do know is that he still stands for his morals. I'm not saying that, you know, that that is a good thing. But God in Ezekiel 38 tells you, "I'm going to pull you by the hook of your mouth. I'm going to hook a hook in your mouth and pull you." Meaning that Putin is being pulled or Russia is being pulled to invade Israel because God's doing it, you know. So whatever triggers that moment and that and that's a sign we're looking for by the way that invasion that comes into or is going to reach the border of the nation of Israel and God is going to stop it and they're all going to die. You're going to see that. That is called the day of the Lord. That is significant. That's a sign as a believer with Jesus as our Godhead. You are seeing and looking for that sign as you see that happen. No, no, that's it. This is it. That once that happens, either the rapture happens right at that time, right in the middle, or I in my personal belief, and this is just my opinion based on what I read from the scriptures, is that I think the 144,000 need to be sealed and then we go because I believe that God will have us covered and protected during that entire time, like he did with Noah in the ark. They were covered and protected for seven days. And I also believe that um Rahab in the city of Jericho when she stood for the Israelites and the spies, they said just have a red string outside your window. Anyways, when all the walls of Jericho fell down, her walls stayed up and her and her entire family that she saved was in there and they were saved. So that all represents the body of Christ here at this time. So whenever this rapture takes place, it takes place in that window. So we're already seeing, you see these two signs here, rumors of wars, wars. You see, now we're going into verse uh seven uh and 8 and N here. For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against n kingdom, and there will be famines, pestilence, and earthquakes in various places. And again, all these are the beginning of sorrows. And we're seeing that we're seeing now all these threats. you know, it bar we barely missed a World War III with the um uh the missile that went off in Poland and NATO coming in. So, you can see that this is all coming to play. Look at this. And there will be famines, pestilence, COVID 19, SARS, the uh H1N1, uh bird flu, pig flu, whatever you got, we've had them. And now they're talking about because all the ice is melting that there's uh pestilences or you know diseases from that time that it's going to probably wipe out mankind. This what they're saying. I'm telling you people are seeing these things come to fruition right in our time. And look again he says and these are the beginning of sorrows. This is just the start but you need to watch. Very important that you're watching. Watch. Let's continue on because Jesus brings us to a conclusion here. Says, "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake." You can see people are dying for Christ in especially in other countries. And you can see people nowadays our voice is being stopped and they're just starting with the voice. And they I don't know if you've noticed this, but if you watch mainstream media, they have gone to the point of either telling the world that they need to kill anyone who speaks about MAGA or Christc centered things. You can put it all into one basket. Uh or put us into re-education camps. That's what's going on now. And if you aren't paying attention, that's because America is under heavy propaganda. So if you you need to be watching the news and not America's news, you got to go out to other count's news. You got to look at India's news. You got to look at Jerusalem's Post news. You got to look at China's news, Taiwan's news. Look at their news and it will tell you because they're they're pointing out even Australia, they laugh at Biden's gaz all the time and they're just like, why is America even doing this? I mean, we're a joke right now, folks. And it's because we're under a heavy strong delusion from the Lord. But those of us that are watching are aware. So let's continue on and see what the Lord is talking about. He says, "Oh, and then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another." Oh my goodness. Is this such a big thing right now? This is huge. You know, I I watched a Tik Tok video of a guy who filmed a g a gal. It was a Uber driver. He filmed her. She was um throwing racial slurs at him. Obviously, it escalated to a point. That driver was offended. That person was offended and they were battling each other out. But that driver was filming it. He didn't pray. He didn't forgive. He didn't let go.
Why put God first in the situation? You see what I'm talking about? This is very very important that we understand. I heard a fight last night from our neighbors. I'm laying here in bed. You know, I was just read watching some Tik Tok. I paused it. I hear this fight going on and I'm like, you know what? I come against a spirit of anger. And I speak the spirit of peace here. And I also said, I come against the spirit of offense because the guy was really offended. You can hear by the words he was saying. And within seconds, the fight stopped. I prayed and I gave it to the Lord. That is our responsibility as a believer in Christ. You should be doing that now because you see how Jesus says the spirit of offense is here. We're seeing that now. Look at verse 11. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. I'm telling you, just before the January 6th thing, I was watching Sid Roth and he had different prophets on and have your cake and eat it too. Trump will be president.
Pray for these people. They need prayer. But that scriptures been fulfilled. That was fulfilled just for me watching that. But how many others are seeing this? And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. Oh my goodness. Defund the police. I just saw this morning in the news that a business in Portland had to shut down its stores because every time they they've had 15 thefts in the last few handful of months and the insurance only paid for three. And he go to live like this or continue our business like this, but he goes, I know whenever I get this expensive uh stuff in, it gets stolen. So he shut his doors. Now what else can he do? Lawlessness abounds and love will grow cold. You know, I had a coworker who felt sorry for her own son who and I was like, "Why don't you give him something?" No, me comes first. And that is exactly what she was like. I'm telling you, we're in nutty times. Okay, guys. These are the signs that Jesus talked about and they're being fulfilled right now. Daniel saw the signs. He knew what the prophets said. He knew what was coming for the nation of Israel and they still missed it. Are you going to miss the signs here? Look at this. Verse 13. But he who endures to the end shall be saved, and this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. The end. Now, we're talking about the end of this dispensation because the seven years has to happen. And then you're going to have a thousand-year millennium. and then the or millennia and then the end. Okay, so there is an I mean the Bible is specific of these dates. You got to get in there and read it. Read it. Now, let's continue on with what Jesus says because watch what he tells you here. This is very important. Now, learn this parable. Now, we're in verse 32 through35. Now, learn this parable from the fig tree. When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you see these signs, you know that it's near. Watch this. So you also when you see all these things, know that it is near at the doors. Assurely I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away. The time zone here changed. You saw all those signs. You see them now being fulfilled in our lifetime. That's it, folks. This generation shall not pass away. We're that generation. That's it. The the time has changed. And that means the rapture is coming. And that means that this is it. It's coming to an end. And it's coming now. This is the point where us believers are telling you, you got to get in the wedding. Come on. You got to get in. You got to believe now is the time to repent. Now is the time to put Jesus as your godhead first. Don't put self. Don't put, "Oh, I want to see my children walk down the the aisle of the wedding." My goodness, what's going to be better is
