Israel: The Prophetic Connection | Dr. John Tweedie - Signs of the Times & False Prophets | July 1, 2025
  • Would you
  • 00:00:01.564 --> 00:00:02.665
  • Be able to tell a true prophet of god from a false one?
  • 00:00:02.665 --> 00:00:06.069
  • Next, on the prophetic connection.
  • 00:00:06.069 --> 00:00:13.176
  • Soft music
  • 00:00:13.509 --> 00:00:44.207
  • Over my shoulder.
  • 00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:45.708
  • The golden dome of the rock which was built in the
  • 00:00:45.708 --> 00:00:48.878
  • Seventh century.
  • 00:00:49.278 --> 00:00:51.047
  • But 600 years before that.
  • 00:00:51.047 --> 00:00:53.082
  • Where the dome of the rock now stands, the temple of herod
  • 00:00:53.082 --> 00:00:56.652
  • Once stood.
  • 00:00:56.652 --> 00:00:57.820
  • And a thousand years before that, the temple of king
  • 00:00:57.820 --> 00:01:01.023
  • Solomon.
  • 00:01:01.023 --> 00:01:02.325
  • One day, as jesus was there, was his disciples.
  • 00:01:02.325 --> 00:01:05.828
  • They drew his attention to the beauty of this
  • 00:01:05.828 --> 00:01:09.365
  • Was an incredible structure.
  • 00:01:09.365 --> 00:01:10.700
  • And he said to them, one
  • 00:01:10.700 --> 00:01:11.634
  • Stone will not be left standing upon another.
  • 00:01:11.634 --> 00:01:13.736
  • That will not be thrown down.
  • 00:01:13.736 --> 00:01:15.671
  • That prompted questions in their hearts.
  • 00:01:15.671 --> 00:01:18.007
  • So they asked of jesus, tell us, when will these things
  • 00:01:18.007 --> 00:01:21.344
  • Take place?
  • 00:01:21.344 --> 00:01:22.945
  • That began the long discourse that we find in matthew
  • 00:01:22.945 --> 00:01:25.414
  • 24 and in luke 21.
  • 00:01:25.414 --> 00:01:28.417
  • And he said, there
  • 00:01:28.417 --> 00:01:29.619
  • Will be many signs of my coming, and at the end of the age.
  • 00:01:29.619 --> 00:01:33.489
  • And he said, there'll be wars and rumors of wars,
  • 00:01:33.489 --> 00:01:36.092
  • Earthquakes, pestilences, and in many different places.
  • 00:01:36.092 --> 00:01:39.929
  • And but he also said that false prophets
  • 00:01:39.929 --> 00:01:43.933
  • Will arise in verse four of matthew 24.
  • 00:01:43.933 --> 00:01:47.570
  • And jesus answered and said to them,
  • 00:01:47.570 --> 00:01:48.971
  • Take heed that no one deceives you.
  • 00:01:48.971 --> 00:01:51.007
  • For many will come in my name, saying,
  • 00:01:51.007 --> 00:01:53.176
  • I am the christ, and will deceive many.
  • 00:01:53.176 --> 00:01:55.745
  • Meaning
  • 00:01:55.745 --> 00:01:56.546
  • They will claim to be the messiah,
  • 00:01:56.546 --> 00:01:58.147
  • But they will not be the true messiah.
  • 00:01:58.147 --> 00:02:00.550
  • And then in verse 11 he adds, then many false prophets
  • 00:02:00.550 --> 00:02:04.720
  • Will rise up and deceive many.
  • 00:02:04.720 --> 00:02:09.158
  • We need to know what is
  • 00:02:09.659 --> 00:02:10.860
  • True from what is false, because by knowing what is true.
  • 00:02:10.860 --> 00:02:14.764
  • We have a reference point and if we don't know the truth
  • 00:02:14.764 --> 00:02:18.834
  • About jesus christ, then we run the risk
  • 00:02:18.834 --> 00:02:22.004
  • Of being deceived by false prophets.
  • 00:02:22.004 --> 00:02:25.374
  • That's the warning
  • 00:02:25.374 --> 00:02:26.542
  • That jesus gave in answer to the disciples question.
  • 00:02:26.542 --> 00:02:30.513
  • That in false prophets will be prevalent in the age
  • 00:02:30.513 --> 00:02:34.450
  • Immediately preceding the second coming of jesus
  • 00:02:34.450 --> 00:02:37.787
  • Christ.
  • 00:02:37.787 --> 00:02:44.160
  • Why are false prophets so dangerous?
  • 00:02:44.927 --> 00:02:47.763
  • And how do we identify them?
  • 00:02:47.763 --> 00:02:49.699
  • Especially when jesus specifically
  • 00:02:49.699 --> 00:02:51.901
  • Warned of their heightened activity
  • 00:02:51.901 --> 00:02:53.502
  • In the days immediately preceding his return.
  • 00:02:53.502 --> 00:02:57.039
  • So how do we tell a true prophet from a false prophet?
  • 00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.109
  • There's a couple of concepts that, when you understand it,
  • 00:03:00.109 --> 00:03:02.612
  • It's pretty easy to tell the difference in jewish law.
  • 00:03:02.612 --> 00:03:05.581
  • By the way,
  • 00:03:05.581 --> 00:03:05.948
  • One of
  • 00:03:05.948 --> 00:03:06.616
  • The commandments of the 613
  • 00:03:06.616 --> 00:03:08.117
  • Is you're allowed to test the prophet, but not too much.
  • 00:03:08.117 --> 00:03:11.954
  • And this and prophecy can be divided
  • 00:03:11.954 --> 00:03:13.756
  • Into two kinds of categories.
  • 00:03:13.756 --> 00:03:15.791
  • One is good prophecy and bad prophecy.
  • 00:03:15.791 --> 00:03:18.661
  • What's the difference between the two?
  • 00:03:18.661 --> 00:03:20.096
  • Besides, one makes you smile.
  • 00:03:20.096 --> 00:03:21.631
  • The other you need prozac to deal with.
  • 00:03:21.631 --> 00:03:23.966
  • The answer is is good prophecy.
  • 00:03:23.966 --> 00:03:26.302
  • Bad prophecy is a warning.
  • 00:03:26.302 --> 00:03:28.104
  • It can be avoided.
  • 00:03:28.104 --> 00:03:29.739
  • Good prophecy has to happen.
  • 00:03:29.739 --> 00:03:31.974
  • That means if someone comes along.
  • 00:03:31.974 --> 00:03:33.943
  • And again, my mom is the great medieval jewish philosopher.
  • 00:03:33.943 --> 00:03:36.312
  • Actually, in his laws of kings,
  • 00:03:36.312 --> 00:03:38.414
  • He talks about laws of prophets and false prophets.
  • 00:03:38.414 --> 00:03:41.417
  • And how do you know the messiah is the messiah?
  • 00:03:41.417 --> 00:03:43.119
  • Because the messiah is also a prophet.
  • 00:03:43.119 --> 00:03:45.121
  • He says he could test him.
  • 00:03:45.121 --> 00:03:46.889
  • You ask him for the good stuff.
  • 00:03:46.889 --> 00:03:48.958
  • If the good stuff has to happen,
  • 00:03:48.958 --> 00:03:51.093
  • If it doesn't happen, that person is a false prophet.
  • 00:03:51.093 --> 00:03:54.063
  • But the bad stuff can be a warning,
  • 00:03:54.063 --> 00:03:55.965
  • And much of false prophecy is designed to get people to do
  • 00:03:55.965 --> 00:04:00.036
  • As we say tuva, to wake up and avoid the bad stuff happening.
  • 00:04:00.036 --> 00:04:03.439
  • That, by the way,
  • 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:04.106
  • Is one of the understandings
  • 00:04:04.106 --> 00:04:05.241
  • Of why jonah doesn't want to go to the city of nineveh.
  • 00:04:05.241 --> 00:04:08.277
  • He's afraid that they're going to listen.
  • 00:04:08.277 --> 00:04:10.179
  • This stuff's not going to come true,
  • 00:04:10.179 --> 00:04:12.181
  • And he'll be accused of being a false prophet.
  • 00:04:12.181 --> 00:04:14.517
  • Or he's even more afraid that the indians are going to listen,
  • 00:04:14.517 --> 00:04:17.787
  • And the jews are not listening.
  • 00:04:17.787 --> 00:04:19.455
  • And it's going to make the jewish people
  • 00:04:19.455 --> 00:04:20.556
  • Look really bad in the eyes of god.
  • 00:04:20.556 --> 00:04:21.991
  • How come these gentiles are listening
  • 00:04:21.991 --> 00:04:23.793
  • And you people are not listening?
  • 00:04:23.793 --> 00:04:25.528
  • But bottom line, and the big deciding factor
  • 00:04:25.528 --> 00:04:27.663
  • Is to test that prophet and see if what the
  • 00:04:27.663 --> 00:04:29.999
  • If the good stuff they predict happens or doesn't happen.
  • 00:04:29.999 --> 00:04:33.169
  • And if it doesn't happen,
  • 00:04:33.169 --> 00:04:34.570
  • No matter what else they do, what other miracles
  • 00:04:34.570 --> 00:04:36.739
  • They perform, they're a false prophet.
  • 00:04:36.739 --> 00:04:39.275
  • People everywhere have an inherent weakness
  • 00:04:39.275 --> 00:04:41.510
  • Where false prophets are concerned.
  • 00:04:41.510 --> 00:04:43.612
  • They want to know what the future has in store.
  • 00:04:43.612 --> 00:04:47.116
  • I think
  • 00:04:47.350 --> 00:04:48.351
  • One of the reasons why we are warned by moses
  • 00:04:48.351 --> 00:04:50.286
  • And others in the bible against false prophets
  • 00:04:50.286 --> 00:04:52.388
  • Is the fact that they say, thus saith the lord,
  • 00:04:52.388 --> 00:04:54.323
  • They speak in the lord's name.
  • 00:04:54.323 --> 00:04:56.759
  • And there are a lot of people
  • 00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:57.793
  • That can easily be manipulated by that to ignore.
  • 00:04:57.793 --> 00:05:01.263
  • That would be. maybe i'm ignoring the lord.
  • 00:05:01.263 --> 00:05:03.599
  • Maybe he's trying to speak to me in the situation,
  • 00:05:03.599 --> 00:05:05.835
  • And so that manipulation that happens by those
  • 00:05:05.835 --> 00:05:09.839
  • Who presumptuously say, this is what the lord is saying to you,
  • 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.809
  • And it's a great danger.
  • 00:05:14.343 --> 00:05:15.544
  • People can get right off track as they fear the lord.
  • 00:05:15.544 --> 00:05:19.682
  • So they want to hear what the lord has to say.
  • 00:05:19.682 --> 00:05:21.450
  • But then there are
  • 00:05:21.450 --> 00:05:23.853
  • Men and women who are false prophets.
  • 00:05:23.853 --> 00:05:28.090
  • They are deceived and they deceive many others.
  • 00:05:28.090 --> 00:05:30.826
  • I think there's
  • 00:05:30.826 --> 00:05:32.228
  • A plethora to the big word
  • 00:05:32.795 --> 00:05:35.564
  • Of false prophets, and most of the ones
  • 00:05:35.564 --> 00:05:37.933
  • That i believe that i'm aware of,
  • 00:05:37.933 --> 00:05:41.036
  • They don't understand israel.
  • 00:05:41.670 --> 00:05:43.806
  • They're prophesying about all kinds of thing,
  • 00:05:43.806 --> 00:05:46.008
  • And they leave israel out.
  • 00:05:46.008 --> 00:05:47.243
  • I don't know how you can be a prophet in the end times
  • 00:05:47.243 --> 00:05:50.279
  • And not see god's hand upon israel.
  • 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:52.348
  • And the significance
  • 00:05:52.348 --> 00:05:53.749
  • And the centrality
  • 00:05:53.749 --> 00:05:55.284
  • Of the restoration and the revival of israel,
  • 00:05:55.284 --> 00:05:57.853
  • Because jesus is not coming back until the jews turn to him.
  • 00:05:57.853 --> 00:06:02.491
  • Satan knows it.
  • 00:06:02.491 --> 00:06:03.559
  • Why don't these people, out of these people
  • 00:06:03.559 --> 00:06:05.261
  • That call themselves prophets, realized
  • 00:06:05.261 --> 00:06:07.096
  • That's what the scripture says.
  • 00:06:07.096 --> 00:06:08.831
  • So when somebody tells me or comes here or
  • 00:06:08.831 --> 00:06:12.535
  • Sends me a book or something and they say they're a prophet,
  • 00:06:12.535 --> 00:06:15.438
  • Or people are saying that prophet
  • 00:06:15.438 --> 00:06:16.772
  • And they don't have a handle on israel, i don't buy it.
  • 00:06:16.772 --> 00:06:20.943
  • Jesus called
  • 00:06:21.277 --> 00:06:22.211
  • Satan or the devil, the father of lies.
  • 00:06:22.211 --> 00:06:25.080
  • Clearly, false prophets find fertile ground in an age
  • 00:06:25.080 --> 00:06:28.517
  • When lies and deception have replaced truth
  • 00:06:28.517 --> 00:06:31.520
  • And honesty.
  • 00:06:31.520 --> 00:06:34.824
  • Don't go away when we return.
  • 00:06:35.458 --> 00:06:37.193
  • Doctor john tweedie continues his teaching.
  • 00:06:37.193 --> 00:06:43.098
  • This past year has been
  • 00:06:43.599 --> 00:06:44.967
  • Incredibly challenging, from the attacks on israel
  • 00:06:44.967 --> 00:06:48.070
  • To the ongoing struggles faced by the jewish people worldwide.
  • 00:06:48.070 --> 00:06:51.740
  • We've seen heartache, loss and resilience like never before.
  • 00:06:51.740 --> 00:06:56.612
  • Yet in the midst of these trials, sephora
  • 00:06:56.612 --> 00:06:59.148
  • Has been a source of hope
  • 00:06:59.148 --> 00:07:00.516
  • And support in the holy land, providing aid, comfort
  • 00:07:00.516 --> 00:07:04.753

  • 00:07:37.520 --> 00:07:50.900
  • In the distance the temple mount.
  • 00:07:51.634 --> 00:07:54.336
  • Where the golden dome of the rock now stands.
  • 00:07:54.336 --> 00:07:57.006
  • The temples once stood.
  • 00:07:57.006 --> 00:08:00.009
  • During jesus ministry
  • 00:08:00.009 --> 00:08:01.310
  • He spent much time there teaching
  • 00:08:01.310 --> 00:08:03.812
  • And of course his disciples followed him wherever he went.
  • 00:08:03.812 --> 00:08:06.282
  • But one day in particular
  • 00:08:06.282 --> 00:08:08.050
  • He said to the disciples, not one stone of this meeting,
  • 00:08:08.050 --> 00:08:12.454
  • This grand complex will be left standing upon another.
  • 00:08:12.454 --> 00:08:16.292
  • That statement shocked those disciples.
  • 00:08:16.292 --> 00:08:19.395
  • So later that day they came to him
  • 00:08:19.395 --> 00:08:20.963
  • And they asked him, and they said,
  • 00:08:20.963 --> 00:08:22.431
  • Tell us, when will this be?
  • 00:08:22.431 --> 00:08:24.366
  • What will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age
  • 00:08:24.366 --> 00:08:27.870
  • And the long?
  • 00:08:28.237 --> 00:08:29.138
  • And so the discourse that he gave them
  • 00:08:29.138 --> 00:08:30.906
  • Is recorded in matthew 24, and the parallel passage in luke 21.
  • 00:08:30.906 --> 00:08:36.111
  • Listen to the words that are found in matthew 24,
  • 00:08:36.111 --> 00:08:39.848
  • Beginning in verse one.
  • 00:08:39.848 --> 00:08:41.483
  • I'll give you the context.
  • 00:08:41.483 --> 00:08:43.085
  • Then jesus went out and departed from the temple,
  • 00:08:43.085 --> 00:08:46.055
  • And his disciples came up to show him
  • 00:08:46.055 --> 00:08:47.890
  • The buildings of the temple.
  • 00:08:47.890 --> 00:08:49.792
  • And jesus said to them, do you not see all these things?
  • 00:08:49.792 --> 00:08:52.661
  • Assuredly, i say to you, not one stone
  • 00:08:52.661 --> 00:08:55.898
  • Shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
  • 00:08:55.898 --> 00:08:59.468
  • So then they came to him later that day,
  • 00:08:59.468 --> 00:09:01.704
  • And they asked him the questions. when?
  • 00:09:01.704 --> 00:09:04.573
  • So he began to give them the signs of the times,
  • 00:09:04.573 --> 00:09:08.010
  • Specifically the signs that would precede his second
  • 00:09:08.010 --> 00:09:11.413
  • Coming and of the end of the age.
  • 00:09:11.413 --> 00:09:14.483
  • And he said this in verse form.
  • 00:09:14.483 --> 00:09:16.585
  • Take heed that no one deceives you.
  • 00:09:16.585 --> 00:09:19.355
  • For many will come in my name, saying,
  • 00:09:19.355 --> 00:09:21.457
  • I am the christ, and will deceive many.
  • 00:09:21.457 --> 00:09:24.426
  • And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars.
  • 00:09:24.426 --> 00:09:26.295
  • See that you are not troubled.
  • 00:09:26.295 --> 00:09:27.696
  • For all these things must come to pass.
  • 00:09:27.696 --> 00:09:30.432
  • But the end is not yet.
  • 00:09:30.432 --> 00:09:32.334
  • We hear nothing but wars and rumors of wars these days.
  • 00:09:32.334 --> 00:09:36.505
  • And then nations shall rise against nation.
  • 00:09:36.505 --> 00:09:39.141
  • Kingdom against kingdom.
  • 00:09:39.141 --> 00:09:40.676
  • There'll be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes
  • 00:09:40.676 --> 00:09:43.245
  • In various places.
  • 00:09:43.245 --> 00:09:44.647
  • And all these are the beginning
  • 00:09:44.647 --> 00:09:45.848
  • Of sorrows, meaning of birth pains.
  • 00:09:45.848 --> 00:09:48.851
  • And then he emphasizes the false prophets.
  • 00:09:48.851 --> 00:09:52.021
  • Once again he says in verse 11,
  • 00:09:52.021 --> 00:09:55.057
  • Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
  • 00:09:55.057 --> 00:09:59.094
  • So it's interesting
  • 00:09:59.094 --> 00:10:00.262
  • These references to false prophets are like bookends.
  • 00:10:00.262 --> 00:10:03.098
  • He begins with them.
  • 00:10:03.098 --> 00:10:04.466
  • Then he gives the other signs about the famines,
  • 00:10:04.466 --> 00:10:06.735
  • The pestilences, the earthquakes in many places.
  • 00:10:06.735 --> 00:10:09.872
  • And he goes back again to the false prophets.
  • 00:10:09.872 --> 00:10:13.008
  • But how can we tell a true prophet for a fault
  • 00:10:13.008 --> 00:10:16.745
  • From a false one?
  • 00:10:16.745 --> 00:10:18.113
  • Moses entered that question for us.
  • 00:10:18.113 --> 00:10:20.349
  • More than 3000 years ago in the book of deuteronomy,
  • 00:10:20.349 --> 00:10:24.186
  • In chapter 18, in verse 20.
  • 00:10:24.186 --> 00:10:27.589
  • Here's what moses.
  • 00:10:28.023 --> 00:10:29.358
  • He was speaking to the children of israel.
  • 00:10:29.358 --> 00:10:31.427
  • So here is he's
  • 00:10:31.427 --> 00:10:32.628
  • Telling them how to tell a true prophet from a false one.
  • 00:10:32.628 --> 00:10:36.432
  • Verse 20.
  • 00:10:36.732 --> 00:10:38.033
  • But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name,
  • 00:10:38.033 --> 00:10:41.837
  • Meaning god's name, which i have not commanded him to speak,
  • 00:10:41.837 --> 00:10:45.908
  • Or who speaks in the name
  • 00:10:45.908 --> 00:10:46.942
  • Of other gods, that prophet shall die.
  • 00:10:46.942 --> 00:10:50.779
  • That's what moses told the people.
  • 00:10:50.779 --> 00:10:53.849
  • And if you say in your heart,
  • 00:10:54.483 --> 00:10:55.951
  • How shall we know the word which the lord has not spoken?
  • 00:10:55.951 --> 00:10:59.555
  • In other words,
  • 00:10:59.922 --> 00:11:00.956
  • How can we tell a true prophet from a false one?
  • 00:11:00.956 --> 00:11:04.159
  • Moses gives the answer
  • 00:11:04.626 --> 00:11:06.995
  • When a prophet speaks in the name of the lord.
  • 00:11:06.995 --> 00:11:09.598
  • If the thing does not happen or come to pass,
  • 00:11:09.598 --> 00:11:12.601
  • That is the thing which the lord has not spoken.
  • 00:11:12.601 --> 00:11:15.871
  • The prophet has spoken it presumptuously.
  • 00:11:15.871 --> 00:11:18.874
  • You shall not be afraid of him.
  • 00:11:18.874 --> 00:11:21.343
  • And the people would have been
  • 00:11:21.343 --> 00:11:22.478
  • Afraid of any prophet or perceived prophet that spoke,
  • 00:11:22.478 --> 00:11:25.280
  • Because the prophets had power to put curses on the people
  • 00:11:25.280 --> 00:11:29.017
  • And bring catastrophe upon the nation if they chose to. but
  • 00:11:29.017 --> 00:11:35.324
  • Moses
  • 00:11:35.557 --> 00:11:36.492
  • Is showing the distinguishing feature here,
  • 00:11:36.492 --> 00:11:39.294
  • That true prophets, if they prophesied for god,
  • 00:11:39.294 --> 00:11:41.997
  • What they prophesied, comes to pass.
  • 00:11:41.997 --> 00:11:43.899
  • Whereas with false prophets they can prophesy all day long
  • 00:11:43.899 --> 00:11:47.970
  • And the thing will not come to pass.
  • 00:11:47.970 --> 00:11:51.140
  • Now i go back to matthew 24, because jesus gives this
  • 00:11:51.140 --> 00:11:55.511
  • Teaching in the context not only of false
  • 00:11:55.511 --> 00:11:58.213
  • Prophets, but of false messiahs.
  • 00:11:58.213 --> 00:12:01.283
  • And he says this in verse 26 of matthew 24, therefore,
  • 00:12:01.283 --> 00:12:06.488
  • If they say to you, look, he, the messiah is in the desert.
  • 00:12:06.488 --> 00:12:10.626
  • Do not go out or look.
  • 00:12:10.626 --> 00:12:12.728
  • He is in the inner
  • 00:12:12.728 --> 00:12:13.862
  • Rooms, perhaps thinking of the inner rooms in jerusalem.
  • 00:12:13.862 --> 00:12:17.366
  • Do not believe it.
  • 00:12:17.366 --> 00:12:18.934
  • For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes
  • 00:12:18.934 --> 00:12:21.937
  • To the west, so also will the coming of the son of man be.
  • 00:12:21.937 --> 00:12:26.141
  • For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles
  • 00:12:26.141 --> 00:12:29.311
  • Will be gathered together.
  • 00:12:29.311 --> 00:12:31.380
  • And this seems to link
  • 00:12:31.380 --> 00:12:33.282
  • The gathering together of the eagles.
  • 00:12:34.082 --> 00:12:36.218
  • Or, if you like, the birds of prey
  • 00:12:36.218 --> 00:12:38.420
  • With the battle of armageddon, which is also synonymous
  • 00:12:38.420 --> 00:12:42.257
  • With the coming of the lord.
  • 00:12:42.257 --> 00:12:43.792
  • So putting the two things together.
  • 00:12:43.792 --> 00:12:46.695
  • You will know when i come,
  • 00:12:46.695 --> 00:12:47.896
  • Because the sky will be filled with the glory of god.
  • 00:12:47.896 --> 00:12:51.200
  • Every eye will see it.
  • 00:12:51.667 --> 00:12:53.335
  • It will be a spectacular return.
  • 00:12:53.335 --> 00:12:56.071
  • So when they tell you that the messiah is in the desert,
  • 00:12:56.071 --> 00:12:59.007
  • Or he's in one of the inner rooms in jerusalem or wherever,
  • 00:12:59.007 --> 00:13:02.044
  • You don't believe that my coming will be with signs
  • 00:13:02.044 --> 00:13:05.581
  • And wonders, and it will be at the coming of armageddon
  • 00:13:05.581 --> 00:13:09.551
  • At the end of days for the mother of all battles.
  • 00:13:09.551 --> 00:13:13.155
  • Now, having talked about false prophets,
  • 00:13:13.155 --> 00:13:15.791
  • We know that there will be two true prophets who will come,
  • 00:13:15.791 --> 00:13:19.928
  • And they're mentioned in the book of revelation
  • 00:13:19.928 --> 00:13:22.731
  • And the great panorama that jesus revealed to john
  • 00:13:22.731 --> 00:13:27.169
  • The apostle.
  • 00:13:27.169 --> 00:13:28.337
  • He was in his mid-nineties a prisoner on a roman penal
  • 00:13:28.337 --> 00:13:32.007
  • Colony on the island of patmos in the aegean sea,
  • 00:13:32.007 --> 00:13:35.477
  • Just off the west coast of what is today turkey.
  • 00:13:35.477 --> 00:13:39.915
  • And he saw the unfolding of history
  • 00:13:39.915 --> 00:13:43.652
  • Through symbols and visions that jesus revealed to him.
  • 00:13:43.652 --> 00:13:47.456
  • That's why it's called the book of
  • 00:13:47.456 --> 00:13:49.057
  • Revealing, the book of revelation, of jesus christ.
  • 00:13:49.057 --> 00:13:52.928
  • But among the many things that john saw
  • 00:13:52.928 --> 00:13:55.764
  • Were these in chapter 11.
  • 00:13:56.331 --> 00:13:59.668
  • Then i was given a reed like a measuring rod,
  • 00:13:59.668 --> 00:14:03.205
  • And the angel stood, saying, rise and measure
  • 00:14:03.205 --> 00:14:06.341
  • The temple of god, the altar, and those who worshiped there.
  • 00:14:06.341 --> 00:14:11.580
  • But leave out the court which is outside the temple,
  • 00:14:11.580 --> 00:14:14.516
  • And do not measure it, for it has been given to the gentiles.
  • 00:14:14.516 --> 00:14:18.620
  • This is an interesting statement,
  • 00:14:18.620 --> 00:14:20.088
  • Because when you look over
  • 00:14:20.088 --> 00:14:21.390
  • My shoulder, you see the temple mount.
  • 00:14:21.390 --> 00:14:23.592
  • That's what it's called, because that's where
  • 00:14:23.592 --> 00:14:25.427
  • The temple of solomon and later the temple of herod stood.
  • 00:14:25.427 --> 00:14:29.398
  • But today there is a mosque of omar, a mosque of islam.
  • 00:14:29.398 --> 00:14:32.901
  • If you like muslims, christians, we are gentiles.
  • 00:14:32.901 --> 00:14:37.406
  • We're not jews.
  • 00:14:37.406 --> 00:14:38.540
  • So we're being told here, and it seems to suggest
  • 00:14:38.540 --> 00:14:42.244
  • That one day a new temple will be erected on that site.
  • 00:14:42.244 --> 00:14:46.615
  • But of course, this is a matter of interpretation.
  • 00:14:46.615 --> 00:14:49.184
  • But why tell john to measure.
  • 00:14:49.184 --> 00:14:51.453
  • Measure the temple
  • 00:14:51.453 --> 00:14:52.688
  • If it isn't going to be there at some point in the future?
  • 00:14:52.688 --> 00:14:56.792
  • And so he measures the temple, the part that, if you like,
  • 00:14:56.792 --> 00:14:59.761
  • Really belongs to the jews.
  • 00:14:59.761 --> 00:15:01.596
  • But don't bother.
  • 00:15:01.596 --> 00:15:03.398
  • Don't bother measuring the gentile area
  • 00:15:03.398 --> 00:15:06.969
  • Because it's given over to the gentiles.
  • 00:15:06.969 --> 00:15:09.204
  • That's what we have today.
  • 00:15:09.204 --> 00:15:10.973
  • The gentiles, if you like, around the temple mount,
  • 00:15:10.973 --> 00:15:14.309
  • The temple is not there.
  • 00:15:14.309 --> 00:15:15.410
  • So in a sense, the jews are not on the temple mount.
  • 00:15:15.410 --> 00:15:18.480
  • Gentiles are.
  • 00:15:18.847 --> 00:15:20.248
  • And it says
  • 00:15:20.248 --> 00:15:21.416
  • They will tread the holy city underfoot for 42 months.
  • 00:15:21.416 --> 00:15:23.952
  • That's about three and a half years.
  • 00:15:23.952 --> 00:15:25.887
  • And i will give power to my two witnesses, these two prophets
  • 00:15:25.887 --> 00:15:29.524
  • That are to come,
  • 00:15:29.524 --> 00:15:30.726
  • And they will prophesy 1260 days, clothed in sackcloth,
  • 00:15:30.726 --> 00:15:36.665
  • As if to show their humility as prophets of almighty god.
  • 00:15:36.665 --> 00:15:41.436
  • And again, it's approximately three and a half years.
  • 00:15:41.436 --> 00:15:45.073
  • These are the two olive trees
  • 00:15:45.707 --> 00:15:47.109
  • And the two lampstands standing before the god of the earth.
  • 00:15:47.109 --> 00:15:51.013
  • And of course,
  • 00:15:51.013 --> 00:15:52.147
  • They're mentioned as well in the book of zechariah.
  • 00:15:52.147 --> 00:15:54.516
  • And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds
  • 00:15:54.516 --> 00:15:56.952
  • From their mouth and devours their enemies.
  • 00:15:56.952 --> 00:15:59.688
  • And if anyone wants to harm them, this is repeated. he
  • 00:15:59.688 --> 00:16:04.126
  • Must be killed in this manner.
  • 00:16:04.726 --> 00:16:07.562
  • They have the power to shut heaven so that no rain
  • 00:16:07.562 --> 00:16:10.866
  • In the days of their prophecy,
  • 00:16:10.866 --> 00:16:12.701
  • And they have power over waters to turn them to blood,
  • 00:16:12.701 --> 00:16:16.204
  • And to strike the earth with all plagues
  • 00:16:16.204 --> 00:16:18.373
  • As often as they desire.
  • 00:16:18.373 --> 00:16:20.275
  • Now we know that elijah the prophet had the power
  • 00:16:20.275 --> 00:16:22.878
  • To shut the heavens so that there was no rain.
  • 00:16:22.878 --> 00:16:25.280
  • We know that moses had the power to turn the rivers of egypt
  • 00:16:25.280 --> 00:16:29.418
  • To blood, so moses and elijah could do these things.
  • 00:16:29.418 --> 00:16:33.255
  • But today, the two prophets that are symbolized here,
  • 00:16:33.255 --> 00:16:37.125
  • I suppose we could say that elijah certainly
  • 00:16:38.060 --> 00:16:40.128
  • Could be one of them, because the prophet malachi said
  • 00:16:40.128 --> 00:16:43.131
  • That elijah must come before the days that messiah comes.
  • 00:16:43.131 --> 00:16:48.003
  • So by interpretation we could say, well, one of them
  • 00:16:48.003 --> 00:16:50.705
  • Probably is elijah, but the other one is a mystery,
  • 00:16:50.705 --> 00:16:54.676
  • And some say enoch or someone else.
  • 00:16:54.676 --> 00:16:58.080
  • And there are many opinions about this,
  • 00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:01.016
  • But i think that we leave it open to interpretation.
  • 00:17:01.016 --> 00:17:05.387
  • The thing to see is that they are the prophets of god,
  • 00:17:06.488 --> 00:17:09.424
  • True prophets who have god's power to do miracles,
  • 00:17:09.424 --> 00:17:12.861
  • And the sight of those that dwell on the earth.
  • 00:17:12.861 --> 00:17:14.529
  • Certainly in jerusalem.
  • 00:17:14.529 --> 00:17:17.365
  • And then it says in verse seven,
  • 00:17:17.365 --> 00:17:19.835
  • When they finish their testimony,
  • 00:17:19.835 --> 00:17:21.303
  • Meaning when the time of their ministry
  • 00:17:21.303 --> 00:17:22.971
  • Is accomplished, three and a half years,
  • 00:17:22.971 --> 00:17:25.273
  • The beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit
  • 00:17:25.273 --> 00:17:27.809
  • Will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them.
  • 00:17:27.809 --> 00:17:32.080
  • Now who or what is this?
  • 00:17:32.080 --> 00:17:35.317
  • Once again, we have interpretation
  • 00:17:35.317 --> 00:17:37.452
  • And many different opinions.
  • 00:17:37.452 --> 00:17:39.054
  • Some suggest
  • 00:17:39.054 --> 00:17:40.188
  • This is a satanic angel that will arise out of an abyss.
  • 00:17:40.188 --> 00:17:44.793
  • Others suggest that it could be
  • 00:17:44.793 --> 00:17:46.061
  • The figure of the antichrist empowered by satanic angels.
  • 00:17:46.061 --> 00:17:50.165
  • But once again, it's a matter of interpretation.
  • 00:17:50.165 --> 00:17:53.235
  • What we need to see is the intention of this being,
  • 00:17:53.235 --> 00:17:57.139
  • Oh, this thing is to kill these two prophets.
  • 00:17:57.139 --> 00:18:01.143
  • And that's exactly what happens.
  • 00:18:01.143 --> 00:18:03.345
  • And it says in verse eight,
  • 00:18:03.345 --> 00:18:05.113
  • And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city,
  • 00:18:05.113 --> 00:18:08.350
  • Which spiritually is called sodom and egypt.
  • 00:18:08.350 --> 00:18:11.853
  • Now, why these names?
  • 00:18:12.354 --> 00:18:14.556
  • And that, again, is a matter of interpretation.
  • 00:18:14.556 --> 00:18:16.691
  • But what comes next defines the location of sodom and egypt,
  • 00:18:16.691 --> 00:18:21.530
  • Because it says, john says, we're also
  • 00:18:21.530 --> 00:18:24.833
  • Our lord was crucified.
  • 00:18:24.833 --> 00:18:27.536
  • So it has to be jerusalem.
  • 00:18:27.536 --> 00:18:29.905
  • And jerusalem is going to have two other names,
  • 00:18:29.905 --> 00:18:33.008
  • According to this passage.
  • 00:18:33.008 --> 00:18:34.509
  • One will be sodom and the other is egypt.
  • 00:18:34.509 --> 00:18:38.513
  • And then it says in verse nine, then those from the people's
  • 00:18:38.513 --> 00:18:41.416
  • Tribes, tongues, and nations
  • 00:18:41.416 --> 00:18:43.118
  • Will see their dead bodies three and a half days
  • 00:18:43.118 --> 00:18:45.921
  • And not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves.
  • 00:18:45.921 --> 00:18:49.758
  • This is a sacrilege, because we should respect the dead,
  • 00:18:49.758 --> 00:18:53.428
  • But their bodies will be allowed
  • 00:18:53.428 --> 00:18:55.297
  • To lay in the streets of jerusalem.
  • 00:18:55.297 --> 00:18:57.599
  • And it seems the whole world will be able to see this.
  • 00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:00.001
  • And, of course, through satellite
  • 00:19:00.001 --> 00:19:01.469
  • Television imagery today, that that's possible in john's day.
  • 00:19:01.469 --> 00:19:05.874
  • They didn't even they had nothing like this.
  • 00:19:05.874 --> 00:19:08.677
  • But we live in the technological age.
  • 00:19:08.677 --> 00:19:10.345
  • So john is simply telling what he sees,
  • 00:19:10.345 --> 00:19:12.614
  • What jesus tells them to say.
  • 00:19:12.614 --> 00:19:14.416
  • And of course, we can see the fulfillment
  • 00:19:14.416 --> 00:19:16.284
  • Of the prophecy that people in john's day
  • 00:19:17.152 --> 00:19:19.654
  • Would have no idea what he is talking about.
  • 00:19:19.654 --> 00:19:23.358
  • In verse ten.
  • 00:19:23.725 --> 00:19:25.694
  • And those who dwell in the earth will rejoice
  • 00:19:25.694 --> 00:19:27.796
  • Over them, meaning over their deaths.
  • 00:19:27.796 --> 00:19:30.799
  • Make merry and send gifts to one another,
  • 00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:33.134
  • Because these two prophets, true prophets,
  • 00:19:33.134 --> 00:19:36.204
  • Tormented those who dwell on the earth.
  • 00:19:36.204 --> 00:19:38.974
  • Which tells us about the depravity of the earth
  • 00:19:38.974 --> 00:19:42.143
  • In that day and the people they're going to rejoice
  • 00:19:42.143 --> 00:19:46.648
  • Over the killing, the deaths of god's true prophets.
  • 00:19:46.648 --> 00:19:51.653
  • And there's more than that.
  • 00:19:52.254 --> 00:19:53.555
  • It says in verse 11, in fact, let me go back to verse ten.
  • 00:19:53.555 --> 00:19:58.927
  • It says, they will rejoice over them,
  • 00:19:58.927 --> 00:20:01.463
  • Make merry, and send gifts to one another,
  • 00:20:01.463 --> 00:20:05.300
  • Because these two prophets
  • 00:20:05.300 --> 00:20:06.635
  • Tormented those who dwell on the earth.
  • 00:20:06.635 --> 00:20:08.803
  • This is like a satanic counterfeit
  • 00:20:08.803 --> 00:20:12.240
  • Christmas exchanging gifts.
  • 00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:14.643
  • But why?
  • 00:20:14.643 --> 00:20:15.810
  • Over the deaths of the two
  • 00:20:15.810 --> 00:20:18.780
  • Servants of god who have witnessed in jerusalem.
  • 00:20:18.780 --> 00:20:23.551
  • And then in verse 11, no, after the three and a half days,
  • 00:20:23.551 --> 00:20:27.622
  • The breath of life of god entered them.
  • 00:20:27.622 --> 00:20:31.059
  • They stood in their feet,
  • 00:20:31.059 --> 00:20:32.494
  • And great fear fell on those who saw them.
  • 00:20:32.494 --> 00:20:35.297
  • And they heard a loud voice
  • 00:20:35.297 --> 00:20:37.265
  • From heaven, saying to them, come up here.
  • 00:20:37.265 --> 00:20:39.701
  • So now the two prophets are summoned back to heaven,
  • 00:20:39.701 --> 00:20:42.904
  • And they ascended to heaven in a cloud,
  • 00:20:42.904 --> 00:20:45.006
  • And their enemies saw them.
  • 00:20:45.006 --> 00:20:47.275
  • In the same hour there was a great earthquake,
  • 00:20:47.275 --> 00:20:49.978
  • And a 10th of the city fell, and the earthquake.
  • 00:20:49.978 --> 00:20:52.747
  • 7000 people were killed, and the rest were afraid
  • 00:20:52.747 --> 00:20:55.850
  • And gave glory to the god of heaven.
  • 00:20:55.850 --> 00:20:59.521
  • The second woe is past.
  • 00:21:00.021 --> 00:21:01.990
  • Behold, the third woe is coming quickly.
  • 00:21:01.990 --> 00:21:05.393
  • In the unfolding of the revelation that john saw,
  • 00:21:06.361 --> 00:21:10.131
  • We have increasing judgments that come from
  • 00:21:10.999 --> 00:21:14.569
  • God upon the earth, and they seem to compound,
  • 00:21:14.569 --> 00:21:18.440
  • In effect, all the way up until we reach revelation
  • 00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:21.710
  • Chapter 19, which describes the battle of armageddon.
  • 00:21:21.710 --> 00:21:25.647
  • And of course, jesus, king of kings and lord of lords, comes
  • 00:21:25.647 --> 00:21:29.851
  • With the armies of heaven.
  • 00:21:29.851 --> 00:21:31.419
  • And in that battle, the antichrist.
  • 00:21:31.419 --> 00:21:33.521
  • It is a day of reckoning for the antichrist and for satan
  • 00:21:33.521 --> 00:21:36.925
  • Who empowers the antichrist.
  • 00:21:37.525 --> 00:21:40.228
  • And this all unfolds before us in the symbolism of john.
  • 00:21:40.228 --> 00:21:45.100
  • How close are we to these events?
  • 00:21:45.867 --> 00:21:48.269
  • Israel is a nation again, back in the land.
  • 00:21:48.269 --> 00:21:51.773
  • And i believe that the prophetic clock is ticking faster.
  • 00:21:51.773 --> 00:21:55.176
  • And we're
  • 00:21:55.176 --> 00:21:56.411
  • Seeing certainly in the world the signs that jesus spoke of.
  • 00:21:56.411 --> 00:21:59.280
  • We see the famines, the pestilences, the earthquakes
  • 00:21:59.280 --> 00:22:02.584
  • In many different places, but we also see false prophets.
  • 00:22:02.584 --> 00:22:06.421
  • We see many who claim to know the truth
  • 00:22:06.421 --> 00:22:08.656
  • And to know the true way.
  • 00:22:08.656 --> 00:22:10.759
  • But jesus said, there's only really one way i am the way.
  • 00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:14.496
  • He said the truth and the life.
  • 00:22:14.496 --> 00:22:17.165
  • No one comes to the father except by me, meaning
  • 00:22:17.165 --> 00:22:22.704
  • Except by the cross erected outside the walls of jerusalem,
  • 00:22:22.704 --> 00:22:27.375
  • On which the prince
  • 00:22:27.842 --> 00:22:29.477
  • Of glory died.
  • 00:22:29.477 --> 00:22:34.949
  • Stay tuned for more from doctor

  • In the distance, the
  • 00:23:49.991 --> 00:23:51.226
  • Mount of olives, so familiar to jesus and his disciples. why?
  • 00:23:51.226 --> 00:23:54.662
  • Because they spent so much time there.
  • 00:23:54.662 --> 00:23:56.564
  • They could get away from the crowded streets
  • 00:23:56.564 --> 00:23:58.466
  • Of jerusalem
  • 00:23:58.466 --> 00:23:59.667
  • Over there, and find some time among themselves just to talk.
  • 00:23:59.667 --> 00:24:02.904
  • It was there, somewhere there
  • 00:24:02.904 --> 00:24:04.405
  • That the disciples asked those profound questions.
  • 00:24:04.405 --> 00:24:07.442
  • Jesus had said that the temple was going to be destroyed,
  • 00:24:07.442 --> 00:24:10.411
  • That not one stone would be left standing upon another.
  • 00:24:10.411 --> 00:24:13.047
  • And of course, they wanted to know when will that be?
  • 00:24:13.047 --> 00:24:15.483
  • So they asked him.
  • 00:24:15.483 --> 00:24:16.951
  • Tell us when these things will be.
  • 00:24:16.951 --> 00:24:18.453
  • What will be the sign of your coming
  • 00:24:18.453 --> 00:24:20.555
  • And of the end of the age?
  • 00:24:20.555 --> 00:24:22.390
  • You see the tall tower
  • 00:24:22.390 --> 00:24:23.591
  • In the distance that marks the summit of the mount of olives,
  • 00:24:23.591 --> 00:24:27.395
  • But just beyond the tower, the village of bethany, the home
  • 00:24:27.395 --> 00:24:31.432
  • To mary and martha, two sisters and their brother lazarus.
  • 00:24:31.432 --> 00:24:35.236
  • They were the friends of jesus.
  • 00:24:35.236 --> 00:24:36.538
  • He spent much time at their home.
  • 00:24:36.538 --> 00:24:39.007
  • He came from that direction
  • 00:24:39.007 --> 00:24:40.775
  • Over the mount of olives on palm sunday.
  • 00:24:40.775 --> 00:24:43.411
  • And he actually he wept over the city when he saw it.
  • 00:24:43.411 --> 00:24:46.314
  • Listen to the account in mark in luke chapter 19.
  • 00:24:46.314 --> 00:24:50.485
  • Now as he drew near,
  • 00:24:50.485 --> 00:24:51.486
  • He saw the city and wept over it, saying,
  • 00:24:51.486 --> 00:24:53.955
  • If you would known me in jerusalem, the inhabitants,
  • 00:24:53.955 --> 00:24:57.191
  • Even you, especially in this your day, the things that make
  • 00:24:57.191 --> 00:25:01.229
  • For your peace, this is your day.
  • 00:25:01.229 --> 00:25:03.064
  • I really am the messiah, and i have come to you.
  • 00:25:03.064 --> 00:25:06.434
  • But they didn't understand that.
  • 00:25:06.434 --> 00:25:09.003
  • But now they are hidden from your eyes.
  • 00:25:09.003 --> 00:25:11.172
  • And he goes on to talk about their enemies
  • 00:25:11.172 --> 00:25:13.341
  • Building an embankment
  • 00:25:13.341 --> 00:25:14.409
  • Around them, surrounding them on every side,
  • 00:25:14.409 --> 00:25:17.512
  • And destroying jerusalem in the process.
  • 00:25:17.512 --> 00:25:21.649
  • Jesus had said earlier that it was not right that a prophet
  • 00:25:21.649 --> 00:25:25.019
  • Should die, other than in the holy city at jerusalem.
  • 00:25:25.019 --> 00:25:29.490
  • And as he wrote in triumph down
  • 00:25:29.490 --> 00:25:31.259
  • The slopes of the mount of olives
  • 00:25:31.259 --> 00:25:32.794
  • And through the eastern gate,
  • 00:25:32.794 --> 00:25:34.896
  • In the midst of all that celebration,
  • 00:25:34.896 --> 00:25:37.498
  • He knew in his heart
  • 00:25:37.498 --> 00:25:38.633
  • That in a matter of days he would be crucified
  • 00:25:38.633 --> 00:25:41.769
  • For the sins of the world, and the cries of hosanna
  • 00:25:41.769 --> 00:25:45.940
  • Would quickly become crucify him, crucify him!
  • 00:25:45.940 --> 00:25:50.545
  • He was crucified beyond the city walls,
  • 00:25:50.545 --> 00:25:53.348
  • But the two prophets of revelation, chapter
  • 00:25:53.348 --> 00:25:55.717
  • 11 were told, are killed within those walls.
  • 00:25:55.717 --> 00:25:59.053
  • But they, like jesus, are resurrected by the power of god
  • 00:25:59.053 --> 00:26:03.891
  • And their deaths and their resurrection
  • 00:26:03.891 --> 00:26:06.427
  • Are a signal that we are closer than ever to armageddon.
  • 00:26:06.427 --> 00:26:10.231
  • That hasn't happened yet, but the signs are in the world
  • 00:26:10.231 --> 00:26:13.201
  • That jesus gave that tell us we are racing toward that day.
  • 00:26:13.201 --> 00:26:18.072
  • So as i stand today
  • 00:26:18.072 --> 00:26:19.674
  • With the walls of jerusalem behind me
  • 00:26:19.674 --> 00:26:21.743
  • And the mount of olives in the distance
  • 00:26:21.743 --> 00:26:23.411
  • Where so much happened in the ministry of jesus,
  • 00:26:23.411 --> 00:26:26.948
  • We have a sense of urgency to take the word of god.
  • 00:26:26.948 --> 00:26:30.718
  • The prophecies of the bible, of the end times to the nations.
  • 00:26:30.718 --> 00:26:34.822
  • While we have time
  • 00:26:34.822 --> 00:26:36.624
  • With the rebirth of israel in 1948, i believe
  • 00:26:36.624 --> 00:26:39.894
  • The prophetic clock started ticking faster
  • 00:26:39.894 --> 00:26:42.964
  • Toward armageddon.
  • 00:26:42.964 --> 00:26:44.232
  • So we don't have a lot of time left and we need
  • 00:26:44.232 --> 00:26:47.468
  • We come here, we film on location
  • 00:26:47.468 --> 00:26:49.604
  • So we can show you the places in the prophecies.
  • 00:26:49.604 --> 00:26:52.840
  • But we can't continue to do this unless people like you
  • 00:26:52.840 --> 00:26:56.010
  • Stand with us and help us come back again and again
  • 00:26:56.010 --> 00:26:59.514
  • And do more of these episodes about god's word
  • 00:26:59.514 --> 00:27:03.618
  • And the end of days, and the prophecies concerning
  • 00:27:03.618 --> 00:27:06.320
  • The coming of the lord.
  • 00:27:06.320 --> 00:27:07.855
  • Go to your phone, make the call, participate with us
  • 00:27:07.855 --> 00:27:11.292
  • In the prophetic times in which we live
  • 00:27:11.292 --> 00:27:13.194
  • So more people will hear god's word and respond
  • 00:27:13.194 --> 00:27:17.198
  • And become part of his global christian family.
  • 00:27:17.198 --> 00:27:17.198
