Episode: “The Collapse of an Intoxicated World”

The Bible informs readers that an intoxicated and disoriented last-days world will collapse and drown in its own depravity. Revelation tells this story, vividly relating how the world will lament the destruction of the evil prince of this world—a demise brought about by the Lord’s return.

Series: “The Dark Prince”

When the Devil Has His Day

Dr. Jeffrey Seif takes readers through Bible texts that speak about the devil. Introductory in nature, The Dark Prince gives individuals a behind-the-scenes look at Evil’s workings at the ragged edge of human history, and its ultimate uprooting when Christ returns.

Transcript

Caption transcript for The Dark Prince: “The Collapse of an Intoxicated World” (7/10)

00:38 HOW YOU HAVE FALLEN FROM HEAVEN LUCIFER, SON OF THE MORNING,
00:42 YOU SHALL BE BROUGHT DOWN TO HELL TO THE DEPTHS OF THE PIT
00:47 AND ALL WHO GAZE UPON YOU WILL WONDER,
00:50 "IS THIS THE MAN THAT MADE THE NATIONS TREMBLE?"
00:59 WHEN THE DEVIL HAS HIS DAY
01:05 A HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU.
01:07 JEFFREY SEIF HERE PLEASED TO WELCOME YOU AGAIN TO ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
01:13 IN THIS PROGRAM WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THE PATHETIC AND THE PROPHETIC.
01:18 I'M NOT TRYING TO GROSS YOU OUT BY HAVING YOU TO VISIT GARBAGE WITH ME
01:21 BUT IT'S IN THE BIBLE AS WE LOOK AT A WORLD GONE BAD.
01:26 I WON'T LEAVE YOU IN THE DUMPS; HOWEVER,
01:28 MY GOOD FRIEND PAUL WILBUR IS GOING TO LIFT US OUT OF THE MALAISE WITH SOME PRAISE.
01:33 BUT OFF WE GO TO A WORLD GONE BAD AS WE CONSIDER WHEN THE DEVIL HAS HIS DAY.
01:42 THE DEVIL'S WORKSHOP,
01:48 CONSIDER THE WORK OF HIS HANDS,
01:52 AND HER FOREHEAD WAS WRITTEN:
01:55 MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT
01:57 THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH
01:59 AND THE WOMAN SAT UPON A SCARLET COLORED BEAST HAVING SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS.
02:08 SHE WAS ARRAYED IN PURPLE AND SCARLET AND DECKED WITH GOLD
02:13 HAVING A CUP IN HER HAND FULL OF ABOMINATIONS AND FORNICATIONS.
02:23 YOU MAY WELL HAVE HEARD THE EXPRESSION "THE GLORY THAT WAS ROME".
02:27 WELL ON THIS PROGRAM WE WANT TO LOOK AT THE "GORY" THAT WAS ROME.
02:31 AND BY THE WAY YOU'RE SEEING SOME OF THAT GLORY BEHIND ME.
02:34 THIS IS A CITY THAT HAS BEEN LIFTED UP FROM THE SANDS OF TIME
02:39 HERE IN BEIT SHE'AN WE'RE IN ISRAEL PROPER
02:43 BUT BEHIND ME IS A PLACE THAT HAS LATIN, ROME WRITTEN ALL OVER IT.
02:48 IN FACT, IT WAS THE PRIDE OF ROME UP HERE IN NORTHERN ISRAEL BACK IN ITS DAY;
02:53 A DAY THAT GOES BACK TO JESUS' DAY I MIGHT SAY.
02:56 AND SO WHILE AT ONE LEVEL THIS IS THE GLORY OF ROME REPRESENTED HERE,
03:01 WHEN WE OPEN UP THE BIBLE TODAY WE'RE LOOKING AT THE "GORY" OF ROME
03:06 BECAUSE ROME DIDN'T JUST BRING WITH IT STRUCTURES, STICKS AND BRICKS,
03:12 ROME BROUGHT WITH IT VALUES THAT FLEW IN THE FACE OF BIBLICAL VIRTUE.
03:18 AND HERE IN THE BIBLE IN THE 17TH CHAPTER OF REVELATION JOHN GOES INTO THAT.
03:26 AND SPEAKING OF REVELATION LET ME REMIND WE'RE LOOKING AT A BOOK THAT COMES WITH VILLAINS AND HEROES,
03:32 HEROES AND HEROINES BY THE WAY.
03:35 ON THE HEROINE SIDE OF THE FENCE IN THE 12TH CHAPTER THERE'S A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, A MAIDEN,
03:41 A JEWISH WOMAN WHO GIVES BIRTH TO THE MESSIAH
03:45 AND THEN THE DEVIL JUST UNLEASHES ON HER...
03:49 ACTUALLY HE WAS DOING THAT BEFORE THE MESSIAH WAS BORN AND CERTAINLY AFTER
03:52 I CAN TELL YOU THAT FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE AS A GERMAN JEW...
03:55 THERE'S A HEROINE THERE.
03:58 IN THIS CASE IN THE 7TH CHAPTER THERE'S A VILLAIN,
04:01 A VILLAINOUS WOMAN DESCRIBED IN THE WORST OF TERMS.
04:07 THE MORE SENSITIVE AMONG US ARE GOING TO BE OFFENDED BY WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SHARE
04:13 BUT IT'S NOT MY OWN WORD AND I'M NOT APOLOGIZING FOR DELIVERING IT.
04:18 THIS WOMAN IS DESCRIBED IN CHAPTER 17, VERSE 5 AS
04:22 THE MOTHER OF ALL HARLOTS AND THE MOTHER OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
04:28 IN FACT, IN CHAPTER 17, VERSE 1 THERE...
04:31 "COME I'LL SHOW YOU THE JUDGMENT ON THIS GREAT HARLOT"...
04:36 THIS GREAT WHORE, THIS GREAT SLUT.
04:41 YOU MIGHT SAY, "WELL JEFFREY I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD USE THIS LANGUAGE".
04:44 HEY LISTEN IT'S JUST LANGUAGE THAT DESCRIBES THE IMAGE.
04:48 WE'RE TOLD IN VERSE 2 THAT THE KINGS OF THE EARTH COMMIT FORNICATION WITH HER
04:53 AND THAT THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH WERE MADE DRUNK WITH THE WINE OF HER FORNICATION.
04:59 THIS WOMAN HAS LEVERAGE OVER THE SPECIES AND BECKONS PEOPLE TO COME HER WAY
05:06 AND APPARENTLY THEY COME IN DROVES.
05:11 WHEN WE CONSIDER THE DAY OF THE DEVIL,
05:15 WHEN WE WANT TO LOOK AT HIS DAYS AND CONSIDER HIS WAYS,
05:19 HERE'S AN IMAGE THAT EMERGES IN THE BIBLICAL TEXT.
05:23 WHO "WAS" THIS WOMAN AND WHO "IS" SHE?
05:29 AND IN TERMS OF "WAS" AS IN "WAS THIS WOMAN"
05:33 WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE IN THE BIBLE IN TERMS OF "IS"?
05:39 HOW DOES WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE MANIFEST HERE,
05:45 NOT IN THE ANCIENT WORLD SO MUCH BUT IN THE MODERN WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN?
05:50 AS WE LOOK AT THE DEVIL IN THE LAST DAYS AND CONSIDER HIS WAYS
05:55 IN THIS PROGRAM PARTICULARLY WE WANT TO COME TO TERMS WITH THIS WOMAN
06:00 AND SEE WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM HER AND HOW IT APPLIES TO THE DAY AND TIMES IN WHICH WE LIVE.
06:09 (LAUGHING)
06:14 THE KINGS OF THE EARTH HAVE FULFILLED THEIR WICKED FANTASIES.
06:18 THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH ARE DRUNK WITH THE WINE OF FORNICATION.
06:21 AND THE GREAT WHORE OF BABYLON ARRAYED IN GOLD AND PRECIOUS STONES
06:27 IS NOW DRUNKEN WITH THE BLOOD OF THE SAINTS AND WITH THE BLOOD OF THE MARTYRS.
06:40 STANDING ATOP THIS ROMAN RUIN AND GETTING READY TO DESCEND DOWN THESE STEPS
06:47 I'M REMINDED OF THE FACT THAT WHEN WE ENTER THE WORLD OF REVELATION
06:50 WE'RE ENTERING INTO A WORLD THAT'S DESCENDING INTO AN ABYSS
06:55 LARGELY BECAUSE OF A ROMAN INFLUENCE STRANGE AS THAT IS TO SAY.
07:01 AND THE REASON WHY I SAY THAT IS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT'S ALLUDED TO IN THE LITERATURE.
07:05 IN THE FIRST CENTURY ROME WAS PARTICULARLY WELL KNOWN FOR ITS DEBAUCHERY;
07:13 IN FACT WHEN PAUL WRITES THE BOOK OF ROMANS
07:17 AT THE VERY BEGINNING HE GIVES VOICE TO SEXUAL IMPROPRIETY,
07:20 HOW PEOPLE EXCHANGE NATURAL RELATIONSHIPS FOR THOSE WHICH ARE NOT NATURAL.
07:25 THIS OBSERVATION WAS SPEARED ALONG BY THE FACT
07:30 THAT THE EMPEROR FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF HIS SECOND WIFE,
07:34 TOOK HIS MALE LOVER, CASTRATED HIM, GAVE IT HIS WIFE'S NAME
07:41 AND THEN MARRIED IT, IF YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT, PUBLICLY.
07:45 THIS IS A WORLD GONE WILD.
07:47 OF COURSE THE GREEKS WERE NOT KNOWN FOR THE BIBLICAL VIRTUES OF PROPRIETY AND SEXUAL DISCRETION
07:53 AND THIS BLED OVER TO THE ROMAN WORLD THAT NOT ONLY HAS ITS SEXUAL LICENTIOUSNESS
07:58 BUT IT'S A WASH IN REVENUE, THE SLAVE TRADE, VARIOUS KINDS OF FINANCIAL IMPROPRIETIES
08:06 THAT HAVE BROUGHT ALL KINDS MONIES TO THE EMPIRE AND PEOPLE ARE AWASH IN ALL OF THAT.
08:12 MONEY, SEX, LICENTIOUSNESS, IT DRAWS A LOT OF TRAFFIC
08:17 AND JOHN TELLS US THAT AT DAYS' END
08:19 THIS ENTERPRISE EMERGES THE MORE SO THAN IT WAS EVEN IN THE FIRST CENTURY.
08:25 THIS REMINDS ME FRANKLY, AND IF I CAN SPEAK FRANKLY,
08:30 REMINDS ME OF THE WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN TODAY.
08:33 TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT A MAN IN AN HOUR ON THE INTERNET
08:36 CAN SEE MORE NAKED WOMEN THAN SOLOMON SAW IN A LIFETIME AND HE SAW A LOT.
08:41 ON TV TOO I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE WATCHING, REALLY I AM,
08:47 AND AS YOU WELL KNOW THERE ARE OTHER VIEWING OPTIONS.
08:49 GOODNESS YOU CAN JUST WITH A FLICK OF A WRIST...
08:52 AND PEOPLE ARE EXPOSED BY THIS MULTI-MILLION-BILLION DOLLAR TRADE IN LICENTIOUSNESS.
09:00 IT IS SO MUCH THE WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN.
09:03 AND IT'S INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT AT DAYS' END...
09:05 WELL 2000 YEARS AGO WHEN JOHN IS TELESCOPING INTO THE FUTURE,
09:09 HE GIVES VOICE TO THIS EMERGENT KIND OF DEBAUCHERY THAT CATCHES MANY IN ITS WEB.
09:16 WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THAT IT'S NOT ONLY SEXUAL IMPROPRIETY.
09:21 AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE IF WE LOOK IN CHAPTER 18 WE'RE TOLD THAT IN VERSE 11
09:27 THAT THE MERCHANTS OF THE EARTH MOURN AND WHY IS THAT?
09:31 IN VERSE 14 BECAUSE THE FRUIT THAT THEIR SOUL LONGS FOR HAS GONE.
09:37 AND WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE IN VERSE 15?
09:40 THE MERCHANTS OF THESE THINGS WHO BECAME RICH WILL STAND AND FEAR AND WEEP AND WAIL
09:47 AND WHY IS THAT?
09:48 BECAUSE HE DESCRIBES THE CRASH OF A FINANCIAL SYSTEM.
09:53 WE'RE TOLD IN VERSE 17 FOR IN ONE HOUR GREAT RICHES CAME TO NOTHING.
09:59 LET ME JUST SAY, ODD AS IT IS TO SAY IT,
10:05 AT ONE LEVEL THIS IS GOOD NEWS FOR THE MOMENT THAT WE FIND OURSELVES IN RIGHT NOW.
10:12 AND WHY DO I SAY THAT?
10:14 BECAUSE MANY WORRY "OH MY GOD IS THE WORLD COLLAPSING? THE FINANCIAL WORLD IS COMING UNGLUED."
10:19 ACCORDING TO THIS TESTIMONY AFTER THE RAPTURE INTO THE TRIBULATION PERIOD
10:24 WHERE ALL OF THIS IS SO VERY PRONOUNCED THE WORLD A WASH IN REVENUE
10:28 AND THE ULTIMATE COLLAPSE IS TO COME LATER.
10:32 AND SO BIBLE READERS CAN COME TO TERMS WITH THE FACT THAT DIFFICULTIES NOTWITHSTANDING
10:36 WE'RE NOT LIVING AT THE APOCALYPTIC END OF OUR FINANCIAL SYSTEM AS WE KNOW IT.

13:22 THE OFFER ON TODAY'S PROGRAM
13:24 TALKS ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S COMING DOWN THE ROAD IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE...
13:28 THE TIME WHEN THE LORD COMES FOR HIS BRIDE, THE CHURCH
13:30 AND OH WHAT A HAPPY DAY IT'LL BE LIKE ANY AND EVERY WEDDING.
13:34 IT'S CALLED "BELOVED THIEF";
13:35 WE HAVE MUSIC PUT TOGETHER BY THE LATE ZOLA LEVITT
13:38 AS WELL AS A TELEVISION PROGRAM BY THAT NAME
13:41 WHEN THE LORD TAKES AWAY HIS BRIDE.
13:43 TALK ABOUT TAKING AWAY, YOU'LL BE TAKEN AWAY BY A WOMAN GONE BAD...
13:47 BABYLON IS REPRESENTED IN THE BIBLE AS A WHORE SPEAKING OF A WORLD SYSTEM THAT'S DEBAUCHED.
13:54 AND OFF TO THAT STORY WE GO.
13:59 (LAUGHING)
14:05 AND JUDGMENT WAS POURED OUT ON THE GREAT WHORE OF BABYLON.
14:09 AND THE TEN HORNS WHICH THOU SAWEST UPON THE BEAST...
14:12 THESE SHALL HATE THE WHORE
14:15 AND SHALL MAKE HER DESOLATE AND NAKED AND SHALL DEVOUR HER
14:19 AND BURN HER WITH FIRE FOR GOD HATH PUT IN THEIR HEARTS TO FULFILL HIS WILL.
14:27 HER SINS HAVE REACHED UNTO HEAVEN AND GOD HATH REMEMBERED HER INIQUITIES.
14:33 BABYLON THE GREAT IS FALLEN.
14:45 THE WORLD WAS ABLAZE AS PEOPLE'S INTERIOR WORLDS WERE ABLAZE.
14:52 THE DEVIL STOKES THE FIRE
14:55 AND ROUND ABOUT THIS BATH HOUSE HERE WERE ROOMS WHERE PEOPLE COULD EXTINGUISH THOSE FIRES
15:02 AND WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT?
15:04 THIS IS A BROTHEL, A HOUSE OF ILL REPUTE
15:09 AND THERE'S A MAJOR BATH HOUSE HERE IN THIS MAJOR CITY.
15:14 IN BIBLE DAYS, OLD TESTAMENT NAMES BETH-SHE'AN,
15:18 IN NEW TESTAMENT TIMES, IN ROMAN LATIN TIMES SCYTHOPOLIS,
15:23 IT WAS A MAJOR INTERSECTION HERE, A HIGHWAY IS MET AND A CITY SPRUNG UP
15:30 AND RIGHT OFF THE MAIN STREET OF THE CITY WAS A BATH HOUSE WITH OTHER ROOMS
15:35 TO ATTEND TO BUSINESS HERE THAT'S NOT WORTH TALKING ABOUT ON CHRISTIAN TELEVISION.
15:39 BUT THERE IS SOMETHING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT
15:41 AND THE REASON WHY I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT IS BECAUSE THE BIBLE DOES.
15:45 THE BOOK REVELATION IS ON RECORD SAYING THE WHOLE WORLD IS ABLAZE
15:50 AT THE RAGGED EDGE OF HUMAN HISTORY.
15:52 HE GOES ON TO TALK ABOUT A WHORE, THIS IS THE IMAGERY HERE
15:57 THAT CATCHES THE WORLD BY STORM AND DRAWS PEOPLE INTO HER WORLD THROUGH SORCERY.
16:03 WE'RE TOLD, "FOR BY HER SORCERY ALL THE NATIONS WERE DECEIVED"
16:08 IN VERSE 23, PEOPLE WERE DRAWN IN.
16:11 BUT THAT'S THE BAD NEWS,
16:13 BUT THERE'S GOOD NEWS IN THIS STORY.
16:15 AND WHAT'S THE GOOD NEWS?
16:17 WELL THE DEVIL HAS HIS DAY BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
16:20 WE'RE TOLD IN SCRIPTURE THAT THERE'S A JUDGMENT THAT'S METED OUT, THAT THE WORLD...
16:27 THAT THIS WOMAN THAT HAS THE WORLD IN HER GRASP IS GOING TO COME TO AN INGLORIOUS END.
16:36 IN FACT IN CHAPTER 19 WE'RE TOLD,
16:38 "AFTER THESE THINGS I HEARD A LOUD VOICE",
16:41 AND A GOOD VOICE I MIGHT ADD OF A GREAT MULTITUDE IN HEAVEN SAYING
16:45 "HALLELUJAH, SALVATION, AND GLORY AND HONOR BELONG TO OUR GOD."
16:52 THERE'S THIS HEAVENLY ANTHEM, THIS CHOIR, THIS EXALTATION AND WHY IS THAT?
16:57 YOU'RE GONNA LOVE THIS.
16:59 AND I'M GLAD TO HAVE A GOOD STORY TO TELL IN A BAD STORY PROGRAM.
17:04 WHAT IS IT YOU'RE GONNA LOVE?
17:05 THERE'S A CONTRAST HERE AND WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT?
17:08 WELL AFTER DESCRIBING THIS WOMAN IN HORRIFIC TERMS
17:14 AS I'VE ALIGHTED UPON IN THIS WHOLE PROGRAM,
17:17 THIS WOMAN IS THEN JUDGED AND THIS SETS THE STAGE
17:21 FOR WHAT THE BIBLE CALLS "THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB".
17:25 IF YOU'LL LOOK WITH ME IN VERSE 7, "LET US BE GLAD".
17:30 FINALLY, I WANT TO BE GLAD.
17:32 "LET US BE GLAD AND REJOICE AND GIVE HIM GLORY"
17:36 "FOR THE MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB HAS COME AND HIS WIFE HAS MADE HERSELF READY".
17:43 YOU KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE GONE BAD IN THE WORLD
17:45 BUT THERE ARE THOSE THAT COME OUT OF THAT WORLD
17:48 AND THEY WASHED THEMSELVES IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB
17:51 AND THEY PREPARE FOR WHAT THE BIBLE CALLS "THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB".
17:57 WE'RE TOLD IN VERSE 8,
17:59 "AND TO HER IT WAS GRANTED TO BE ARRAYED IN FINE LINEN, CLEAN AND BRIGHT,"
18:03 "FOR THE FINE LINEN IS THE RIGHTEOUS ACTS OF THE SAINTS."
18:08 IT SEEMS WHILE THERE'S A LOT OF BAD ACTIVITY GOING ON,
18:11 THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT MAKE THEMSELVES RIGHT WITH GOD
18:14 AND THE NET RESULT IS THEY PREPARE THEMSELVES FOR A GLORIOUS FUTURE FOR A MARRIAGE FEAST.
18:20 HE GOES ON TO SAY,
18:22 "THEN HE SAID TO ME,"
18:24 "WRITE 'BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO ARE CALLED TO THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB".
18:29 THERE'S A GREAT OFFER ON THE TABLE, THERE'S AN INVITATION.
18:34 I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'VE COME FROM IN LIFE,
18:35 IT COULD BE THAT THE LAUNDRY LIST OF SINS DISCUSSED IN THIS PROGRAM YOU MIGHT FEEL GUILTY.
18:41 I WANT YOU TO KNOW THERE'S A WAY TO GET CLEANED UP
18:43 AND THERE'S AN INVITATION TO COME TO JESUS
18:45 AND MAKE YOURSELF READY FOR THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB.
18:52 (Paul Wilbur speaking) LET GOD ARISE AND SCATTER OUR ENEMIES TONIGHT IN THIS PLACE.
18:57 ARISE O LORD ON THE PRAISES OF YOUR PEOPLE.
19:02 (Jeff speaking) I LOVE THE MUSIC OF PAUL WILBUR

22:20 RABBI PAUL, THE APOSTLE FROM TARSUS, SAID
22:22 THAT WE DON'T WRESTLE WITH FLESH AND BLOOD.
22:26 I'M HERE WITH MY GOOD FRIEND PAUL WILBUR
22:28 AND IF YOU'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS SERIES
22:30 YOU'VE BEEN ACQUAINTED WITH HIM AS WELL.
22:31 THIS IS A WRESTLING MATCH,
22:33 WE'RE TEMPTED TO BE SEDUCED INTO SIN
22:35 AND DESPAIR AND DECAY AREN'T WE?
22:37 YEAH, WE REALLY ARE.
22:38 WE'RE UNDER ATTACK IN EVERY WAY IN OUR SOCIETY.
22:43 WHAT WE SEE, PARTICULARLY WHAT WE HEAR,
22:46 OUR CHILDREN ARE UNDER ATTACK EVERY DAY AT SCHOOL,
22:50 AT WORKPLACE.
22:52 HOW DO WE COUNTER THAT SPIRIT OF BABYLON,
22:55 THAT SEDUCER THAT WOULD SAY
22:58 COME OVER HERE I HAVE FLOWERED AND POWDERED MY BEDDING
23:02 AND COME THROUGH THIS DOOR.
23:04 THE INTERNET IS AN AMAZINGLY POWERFUL, SEDUCTIVE SPIRIT...
23:09 OH GOODNESS, SOMEONE CAN SEE MORE NAKED WOMEN ON THE INTERNET
23:12 IN A NIGHT THAN SOLOMON SAW IN A LIFETIME!
23:14 SURE
23:15 IT'S JUST ALL OUT THERE.
23:16 BUT IT WAS... I REALLY BELIEVE
23:17 THAT IS WAS MEANT FOR OUR GOOD.
23:19 WE CAN STREAM ZOLA LEVITT PROGRAMS THROUGH OUR INTERNET,
23:22 WE CAN WATCH PRAISE AND WORSHIP FROM AROUND THE WORLD
23:26 BUT WE HAVE THE CHOICE.
23:28 SO HOW DO WE COUNTER THE SEDUCTION OF BABYLON IN OUR DAY?
23:32 WE HAVE TO MAKE THE GOOD CHOICE THAT...
23:35 IT'S THE OLD STATEMENT "JUNK IN, JUNK OUT"
23:38 AND WE HAVE TO REALLY CAREFULLY GUARD OUR EYE GATES AND OUR EAR GATES.
23:43 WE SAID ON OTHER PROGRAMS
23:45 SOMETIMES I'M CHALLENGED ON A DIFFICULT DAY WITH DRIVING,
23:49 BUT IF I'LL PUT IN PRAISE AND WORSHIP,
23:51 IF I'M PUTTING IN THE WORD OF GOD,
23:54 ITS WHAT COMES OUT...
23:56 I FIND MYSELF BEING IN A PLACE THAT IS MUCH MORE AVAILABLE TO THE SPIRIT OF GOD.
24:00 AND SO HOW DO WE COUNTER THESE SEDUCTIVE SPIRITS?
24:03 WE WANT TO TAKE IN THE RIGHT TEACHING, SOUND DOCTRINE,
24:07 THE LOVE OF GOD, SPECIALLY THROUGH PRAISE AND WORSHIP
24:10 MINISTERS TO US BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT
24:12 AND CHANGES OUR WHOLE EXPERIENCE.
24:14 YES AND CHANGE IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.
24:18 I LOOK FORWARD TO THE TIME WHEN WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED.
24:22 WE'RE TAUGHT TO PRAY "THY KINGDOM COME"
24:24 AND THERE'S A KINGDOM COMING
24:26 AND GOD WILL MAKE ALL THINGS NEW AND ALL THINGS GOOD.
24:28 AND OFF WE GO NOW TO HEAR FROM THE LATE ZOLA LEVITT
24:31 AS HE TALKS ABOUT LIFE ON THE OTHER SIDE WITH THE KINGDOM TO COME.
24:37 THE SHEEP AND GOATS IS DONE,
24:39 THE KINGDOM BEGINS.
24:40 THE LORD DEDICATES THE TEMPLE.
24:42 THE BEGINNING OF THE KINGDOM
24:44 IS FASCINATING TO ME
24:45 BECAUSE DANIEL GIVES A COUPLE
24:47 NUMBERS IN HIS VERSES,
24:49 DANIEL CHAPTER 12,
24:50 VERSES 11 AND 12...
24:52 HOW MANY DAYS TO HERE, HOW MANY DAYS TO THERE.
24:54 AND I CALCULATED THOSE
24:56 AND IF YOU'LL WATCH THAT PROGRAM YOU'LL SEE WHERE I'VE CONCLUDED
24:58 THAT THE LORD HOLDS THE JUDGMENT OF THE SHEEP AND GOATS ABOUT 30 DAYS INTO THE KINGDOM
25:04 AND HE HOLDS THE DEDICATION OF THE TEMPLE 75 DAYS INTO THE KINGDOM
25:08 WHICH IS NO ORDINARY DAY,
25:10 IT'S THE 25TH DAY OF KISLAV, HANUKKAH,
25:13 ON THE FEAST OF DEDICATION THE LORD DEDICATES THE MILLENNIAL TEMPLE.
25:17 ISN'T THAT SOMETHING?
25:19 AND WE HAVE A NEW RULING HOUSE ON EARTH, A NEW PLACE TO LIVE WITH OUR HUSBAND THE KING.
25:25 WE'RE THE BRIDE OF CHRIST NOW BUT WE'LL BE THE QUEEN OF THE KINGDOM TO COME,
25:29 THE WIFE OF THE KING.
25:31 CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'RE ENGAGED.
25:34 I LOOK FORWARD TO THE KINGDOM TO COME LIKE ZOLA, LIKE YOU,
25:39 BUT WE GOT LIVE IN THIS ONE DON'T WE PAUL?
25:41 AND IT COMES REPLETE WITH MANY CHALLENGES DOESN'T IT?
25:44 IT DOES AND ONE OF THE WONDERFUL WEAPONS AGAINST THESE
25:48 CHALLENGES THAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO US
25:51 IS THE WEAPON OF THE WARFARE OF OUR PRAISE.
25:54 WE SEE IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES
25:58 WHETHER ITS MAKING A WAY THROUGH A SEA WHERE THERE'S NO PARTING,
26:02 WHETHER ITS INVITING THE PRESENCE OF GOD
26:05 TO OVERCOME AN ARMED AND DANGEROUS ENEMY,
26:08 OR ITS SIMPLY TAKING US FROM A PLACE OF DEFEAT TO VICTORY,
26:13 THE POWER OF PRAISE IS SO IMPORTANT FOR US TODAY.
26:16 YES, AND FOR US TO BE A WARRIOR AND NOT A WORRIER.
