Matthew Blewett – Class 4: Numbers: Sixes and Sevens

1
00:00:02,500 –> 00:00:06,600
You are listening to a Bible,
talk recorded at the 2018.

2
00:00:06,600 –> 00:00:08,800
Western christadelphians Bible
school.

3
00:00:08,800 –> 00:00:12,800
At Minooka, this is the fourth
class in a series given by

4
00:00:12,800 –> 00:00:15,300
brother, Matthew blew it on the
subject.

5
00:00:15,300 –> 00:00:20,400
Meditations in Revelation.
This class is titled numbers.

6
00:00:20,800 –> 00:00:28,000
Sixes and sevens.
All right.

7
00:00:28,000 –> 00:00:30,600
Well, it’s wonderful to be with
you on the fifth day.

8
00:00:30,900 –> 00:00:34,200
I think we’re talking about
meanings of names and I had to

9
00:00:34,208 –> 00:00:37,400
look up the meaning of the name.
Manuka what it’s the fifth day

10
00:00:37,400 –> 00:00:41,400
forth classes, but they said
today was the first day fourth

11
00:00:41,400 –> 00:00:42,900
day.
Be with me on this, we’re

12
00:00:42,900 –> 00:00:47,600
talking about numbers and I
believe Manuka means rest and

13
00:00:47,600 –> 00:00:50,300
often it takes to the fifth day
until we really feel like we are

14
00:00:50,300 –> 00:00:53,900
living up to the name of out.
The campea Manuka certainly I’m

15
00:00:53,900 –> 00:00:56,600
starting to feel restful on the
with the idea that when I got to

16
00:00:56,608 –> 00:01:02,200
do one more talk, This rest is
coming and so today we want to

17
00:01:02,300 –> 00:01:04,700
change our Tech.
Well we kind of continue on

18
00:01:04,700 –> 00:01:07,800
meditations of Revelation but we
want to take a couple of

19
00:01:07,800 –> 00:01:12,500
meditations that focus on
numbers as symbols I’ve spoken

20
00:01:12,500 –> 00:01:16,600
before about what is so amazing
about this letter in the sense

21
00:01:16,600 –> 00:01:19,200
that its symbols are quite
diverse.

22
00:01:19,200 –> 00:01:23,200
We’ve looked at yesterday places
and names.

23
00:01:23,900 –> 00:01:26,500
We’re going to look at numbers
today and people who enjoy

24
00:01:26,500 –> 00:01:29,000
numbers perhaps They will get
their attention and then

25
00:01:29,000 –> 00:01:32,100
tomorrow, if you enjoy colors
and pictures will focus on that

26
00:01:32,100 –> 00:01:36,300
idea and I think that’s what’s
amazing about a viewing

27
00:01:36,300 –> 00:01:38,800
Revelation as a letter, that
Jesus is writing to us and

28
00:01:38,800 –> 00:01:42,400
trying to get through to us in
whatever language works for us.

29
00:01:42,400 –> 00:01:45,600
So I’m a bit of a spreadsheet,
gotta enjoy rows and columns and

30
00:01:45,600 –> 00:01:47,700
numbers.
So, this is something that I

31
00:01:47,700 –> 00:01:52,300
enjoy thinking about numbers and
how they teach us these great

32
00:01:52,300 –> 00:01:55,100
spiritual principles.
Now, when we come to the Book of

33
00:01:55,100 –> 00:01:59,600
Revelation, of course, Is a very
numbers oriented book.

34
00:02:00,400 –> 00:02:05,600
You may not have picked this up.
In fact, they are the, the word

35
00:02:05,600 –> 00:02:09,500
number actually in the Book of
Revelation is the word.

36
00:02:09,500 –> 00:02:14,300
You you may have heard of this
word before this leftmost, okay.

37
00:02:14,300 –> 00:02:17,300
And that’s where we get the word
arithmetic from and it appears

38
00:02:17,300 –> 00:02:21,700
nine times the word it with moss
in the Book of Revelation which

39
00:02:21,700 –> 00:02:23,200
is quite a few times so we can
see.

40
00:02:23,200 –> 00:02:26,800
This is a book that’s interested
in numbers, you may not have

41
00:02:26,800 –> 00:02:31,200
noticed that At the numbers 1 to
12 or appear in the book.

42
00:02:32,100 –> 00:02:35,400
In fact, numbers are mentioned
over specific numbers.

43
00:02:35,400 –> 00:02:39,000
I mentioned over 250 times in
the 22 chapters of Revelation

44
00:02:39,000 –> 00:02:41,000
which was quite remarkable for
me to see.

45
00:02:41,200 –> 00:02:44,300
Especially if you consider.
It’s not a book like chronic

46
00:02:44,300 –> 00:02:48,300
goals or numbers, which is
referring to actual population

47
00:02:48,300 –> 00:02:51,300
groups when it’s making use of
numbers is only a very specific

48
00:02:51,300 –> 00:02:57,100
reason for using that number.
In fact, I have got this lovely

49
00:02:57,100 –> 00:02:59,900
child.
Toby here and this chart has

50
00:02:59,900 –> 00:03:02,300
every one of the numbers
mentioned in the Book of

51
00:03:02,300 –> 00:03:06,700
Revelation specifically going
from one tenth or the way to

52
00:03:06,700 –> 00:03:11,800
144,000 and there the 250
mentions of of numbers.

53
00:03:12,000 –> 00:03:14,500
So that’s quite incredible.
All the different numbers of you

54
00:03:14,500 –> 00:03:16,700
like fractions, you can get
excited as well.

55
00:03:17,000 –> 00:03:20,800
Some of us prefer fractions
everything there for you.

56
00:03:20,900 –> 00:03:24,600
If you’re a numbers person, if
we go back here and this is

57
00:03:24,600 –> 00:03:26,900
going to be something that we
think a lot about because you’ll

58
00:03:26,900 –> 00:03:28,800
be really If to know that we’re
going to keep the arithmetic,

59
00:03:28,800 –> 00:03:31,800
very simple today, very simple.
This talk will be over in two

60
00:03:31,800 –> 00:03:34,000
minutes because you just got to
get one concept right, which

61
00:03:34,000 –> 00:03:37,900
will share in a moment, you’ll
see over there that the number

62
00:03:37,900 –> 00:03:42,600
seven is twenty percent of the
250 times numbers.

63
00:03:42,600 –> 00:03:47,100
I mentioned, it’s the number 7
or seventh 54 times 7, just

64
00:03:47,100 –> 00:03:49,500
remember that.
So dominant number in the Book

65
00:03:49,500 –> 00:03:53,900
of Revelation in fact, some
Bible commentators say that

66
00:03:53,900 –> 00:03:57,200
actually the numbers go all the
way up to 100 million.

67
00:03:58,100 –> 00:04:00,700
That’s because there’s a mention
in one place.

68
00:04:00,700 –> 00:04:03,900
The product is a myriad times, a
myriad of angels.

69
00:04:04,100 –> 00:04:07,600
So really, you’ve got 1/10 all
the way to 100 million mentioned

70
00:04:07,600 –> 00:04:11,900
in the book.
I interact with this particular

71
00:04:12,300 –> 00:04:17,100
session today, numbers sixes and
sevens and I did this talk

72
00:04:17,100 –> 00:04:19,399
somewhere else and some young
people came to me and said, you

73
00:04:19,399 –> 00:04:21,200
know, what do you mean by sixes
and sevens?

74
00:04:21,300 –> 00:04:23,600
Then I realized that this might
be showing my age.

75
00:04:23,900 –> 00:04:26,200
It’s a phrase.
That’s not used that often you

76
00:04:26,200 –> 00:04:29,200
say you’re at sixes and sevens.
Evans, which means that you are

77
00:04:30,900 –> 00:04:33,100
What confused?
I read lots of wrong answers,

78
00:04:33,100 –> 00:04:36,100
but confused our going.
I’m at sixes and sevens, so

79
00:04:36,400 –> 00:04:39,700
we’re going to see whether the
Book of Revelation is confused,

80
00:04:39,700 –> 00:04:41,500
whether it’s at sixes and
sevens.

81
00:04:41,500 –> 00:04:45,600
So that’s a part of what we do.
So, let’s start with, let’s

82
00:04:45,600 –> 00:04:49,300
start with our first little
meditation.

83
00:04:49,500 –> 00:04:51,700
Focus meditation.
And to do that, I want to start

84
00:04:51,900 –> 00:04:54,100
focusing your attention on the
number one.

85
00:04:54,300 –> 00:04:57,800
And just to think about this
beautiful passage that I’m going

86
00:04:57,800 –> 00:05:02,800
to put up on the screen here.
It’s from Revelation 18.

87
00:05:03,300 –> 00:05:06,400
They will throw dust on their
heads and with weeping and

88
00:05:06,400 –> 00:05:09,500
mourning Cries Out.
Whoa, whoa, to you great City.

89
00:05:10,200 –> 00:05:13,900
Where all who we’re all, who had
ships on the sea became Rich

90
00:05:13,900 –> 00:05:16,900
through her wealth.
In one hour, she has been

91
00:05:16,900 –> 00:05:20,700
brought to ruin Rejoice over
her, you Heavens Rejoice.

92
00:05:20,700 –> 00:05:24,400
You people of God Rejoice
Apostles and Prophets for God

93
00:05:24,400 –> 00:05:28,800
has judged her with a judgment
she imposed on you.

94
00:05:29,600 –> 00:05:33,000
And when I stopped to focus on
that passage and to meditate on

95
00:05:33,000 –> 00:05:36,100
it, what what really jumped out
at me and that’s why I’m sharing

96
00:05:36,100 –> 00:05:39,600
this meditation with you.
On the basis of numbers is this

97
00:05:39,600 –> 00:05:43,300
idea that this is this
incredible power that the Book

98
00:05:43,300 –> 00:05:47,000
of Revelation talks about that
takes a lot of time to describe

99
00:05:47,200 –> 00:05:50,200
this power, that’s is
demonstrated through the dragon

100
00:05:50,200 –> 00:05:51,800
and the Beast.
And eventually through this

101
00:05:52,000 –> 00:05:55,200
great Babylon that we were
talking about yesterday that

102
00:05:55,200 –> 00:06:00,100
that all of this power comes to
an end in in, in just One hour

103
00:06:00,500 –> 00:06:03,300
its demise is Swift and it’s
Furious.

104
00:06:03,500 –> 00:06:09,200
It’s all over in just one hour
and I want us to think about

105
00:06:09,200 –> 00:06:13,800
that concept for a while that it
is all over in one hour.

106
00:06:13,800 –> 00:06:17,800
This one, our principle that is
concerned.

107
00:06:17,800 –> 00:06:21,300
That is that is emphasized yet.
You know from an Inspiration.

108
00:06:21,300 –> 00:06:24,200
Point of View, we often and
we’ll see this in our in our in

109
00:06:24,200 –> 00:06:26,500
our next meditation.
We live in a world where the

110
00:06:26,500 –> 00:06:30,600
power of the reality of man
seems Seems to go on forever.

111
00:06:30,600 –> 00:06:33,300
It doesn’t seem like it’s going
to be transient that it’s going

112
00:06:33,300 –> 00:06:35,600
to come to an end.
And yet the inspiration of this

113
00:06:35,600 –> 00:06:40,500
meditation is it is transient.
It’s time is only one hour and

114
00:06:40,500 –> 00:06:42,000
you may not have realized this
before.

115
00:06:42,200 –> 00:06:45,600
That’s the smallest time frame
that has ever used in the Bible.

116
00:06:45,800 –> 00:06:49,200
There’s no Concept in the Bible
of of minutes and seconds, they

117
00:06:49,200 –> 00:06:50,700
didn’t have a concept of time
like that.

118
00:06:50,700 –> 00:06:54,600
So an hour is in fact the
smallest concept of time and one

119
00:06:54,600 –> 00:06:58,600
hour Twinkling and of our, okay,
very small.

120
00:06:58,600 –> 00:07:03,000
Tom Tom period.
And so we have this idea that

121
00:07:03,400 –> 00:07:06,900
that the, the systems of men,
although they seem to us to be

122
00:07:06,900 –> 00:07:10,900
so so permanent because that’s
all we’ve ever experienced the

123
00:07:10,900 –> 00:07:14,100
inspiration that we give him
from Jesus, is that really it’s

124
00:07:14,100 –> 00:07:17,200
transient?
It’s something that we cannot

125
00:07:17,400 –> 00:07:20,700
build our foundations on.
And if we think that, that’s

126
00:07:20,700 –> 00:07:22,600
where we’re going to take our
trusted, like we were talking

127
00:07:22,600 –> 00:07:25,800
about in fact, that middle verse
of the Bible that we were taken.

128
00:07:26,100 –> 00:07:29,100
The end of a bull session, is
your confidence going to be in

129
00:07:29,100 –> 00:07:31,800
man.
If it isn’t man, well in one

130
00:07:31,800 –> 00:07:35,100
hour that’s all going to be
taken to nothing.

131
00:07:35,400 –> 00:07:41,100
In one hour, we are going to see
that brought to nothing and of

132
00:07:41,100 –> 00:07:45,100
course it was Jesus, who said
that that if your foundations

133
00:07:45,400 –> 00:07:47,600
are built on the system of
Babylon.

134
00:07:47,900 –> 00:07:51,900
In other words on this, and then
when that storm comes, they will

135
00:07:51,900 –> 00:07:53,000
not last.
They will go.

136
00:07:53,000 –> 00:07:55,300
He said, immediately In the
Flesh flood, but if it’s built

137
00:07:55,600 –> 00:07:58,500
on, At which is strong the
foundation that he provides.

138
00:07:58,700 –> 00:08:02,600
Then it will last but there’s a
kind of inspiration here as

139
00:08:02,600 –> 00:08:04,300
well.
It’s not just a warning to us to

140
00:08:04,300 –> 00:08:07,200
say that that the systems of men
will be gone.

141
00:08:07,200 –> 00:08:09,000
And if you’re putting your
trust, they only going to last

142
00:08:09,000 –> 00:08:11,100
for one hour.
It is there’s an inspiration and

143
00:08:11,100 –> 00:08:13,600
this too.
Because not only are we to

144
00:08:13,600 –> 00:08:16,200
understand that that which is
seen as temporal and that which

145
00:08:16,200 –> 00:08:21,300
is unseen is eternal.
The inspiration is that in fact

146
00:08:21,300 –> 00:08:24,300
the time of trouble is also just
a short time.

147
00:08:25,100 –> 00:08:26,500
And for me, that’s a great
inspiration.

148
00:08:26,500 –> 00:08:28,900
Always has been in my life.
I haven’t been Christians talks,

149
00:08:28,900 –> 00:08:30,600
but I think my wife was sharing
with me.

150
00:08:30,600 –> 00:08:34,100
He was encouraging us to view
that sometimes when we in

151
00:08:34,100 –> 00:08:37,500
Tribulation or we going through
suffering, it seems like it’s

152
00:08:37,500 –> 00:08:39,799
forever.
It seems like it’s here to stay

153
00:08:40,299 –> 00:08:42,500
and we know that there is
encouragement to many parts of

154
00:08:42,500 –> 00:08:46,200
scripture that that what seems
like forever is only a little

155
00:08:46,200 –> 00:08:51,100
while Peter talks about that.
We counted all joy that we go

156
00:08:51,100 –> 00:08:54,400
through diverse, when we go
through suffering, if for a

157
00:08:54,408 –> 00:08:57,900
little All there’s this idea
that that what seems like

158
00:08:57,900 –> 00:09:02,300
forever is only for an hour.
I mean, Jesus, when he went to

159
00:09:02,300 –> 00:09:08,000
pray in that moment of of real
Temptation for him, that that

160
00:09:08,000 –> 00:09:11,200
climax of his own Journey, he
comes back to them.

161
00:09:11,200 –> 00:09:14,800
And says, what could you not
watch with me for one hour

162
00:09:15,200 –> 00:09:17,800
again?
The idea is that in the concept

163
00:09:17,800 –> 00:09:22,500
of Eternity, the road that we’re
on, the the test that we have is

164
00:09:22,500 –> 00:09:26,700
only one hour, it’s the
shortest, Tom frame that we are

165
00:09:26,700 –> 00:09:31,200
asked to come through and and
and, and this is really the

166
00:09:31,200 –> 00:09:34,200
encouragement.
I think we’re getting Jesus says

167
00:09:34,200 –> 00:09:38,100
this, because you have kept my
command to persevere also will

168
00:09:38,100 –> 00:09:42,900
keep you from the hour of trial,
just one hour and I’m going to

169
00:09:42,908 –> 00:09:47,300
be with you during that hour, of
course, Peter James, and John,

170
00:09:47,300 –> 00:09:50,500
couldn’t stay awake for the
hour, but Jesus is, I won’t fall

171
00:09:50,500 –> 00:09:53,100
asleep for that hour.
I will be with you, I will be

172
00:09:53,100 –> 00:09:56,400
present in that hour.
So for me, there’s a great

173
00:09:56,400 –> 00:10:00,000
inspiration in this idea of one
hour, that short time frame,

174
00:10:00,000 –> 00:10:02,900
that, that the world will be in
control that it will appear like

175
00:10:02,900 –> 00:10:06,300
Babylon is is ruling.
Has taken power.

176
00:10:06,600 –> 00:10:10,000
And in our own lives, it may
appear like it is forever, but

177
00:10:10,400 –> 00:10:13,200
but the Lord is with us and he
will take us through the

178
00:10:13,200 –> 00:10:15,900
one-hour.
So that’s a simple meditation

179
00:10:16,200 –> 00:10:20,500
from the idea of one.
And now I want us to move to

180
00:10:20,700 –> 00:10:23,900
another number.
And let’s think about probably

181
00:10:23,900 –> 00:10:28,000
one of the most On passages in
all of the Book of Revelation

182
00:10:28,500 –> 00:10:32,400
are passage there as well known
because it’s been brought into

183
00:10:32,400 –> 00:10:35,300
the secular World.
A lot of people like to talk

184
00:10:35,300 –> 00:10:38,200
about this passage and the
number that it refers to.

185
00:10:38,500 –> 00:10:42,700
So it’s Revelation chapter 13
and verse 18.

186
00:10:43,700 –> 00:10:48,300
Here is wisdom, let him who
understands calculate the number

187
00:10:48,300 –> 00:10:51,500
of the Beast for the number.
It is the number of a man.

188
00:10:51,800 –> 00:10:56,100
His number is 666.
Six or 666.

189
00:10:57,600 –> 00:11:01,700
So here’s a passage that has got
the attention of many people.

190
00:11:01,700 –> 00:11:06,800
As I said in the secular World
in Christianity, people have

191
00:11:06,800 –> 00:11:09,500
spent a lot of time trying to
say, well what is this?

192
00:11:10,000 –> 00:11:13,300
Who is the 666?
What do we need to be afraid of?

193
00:11:14,000 –> 00:11:15,600
What is this number of the
Beast?

194
00:11:15,600 –> 00:11:19,800
And of course, they’ve been all
sorts of interpretations from

195
00:11:20,100 –> 00:11:24,600
the Roman Catholic, pope to a
barcode payment system.

196
00:11:24,900 –> 00:11:28,000
And various other
interpretations of the number

197
00:11:28,000 –> 00:11:30,300
666.
What we want to do is what we’ve

198
00:11:30,300 –> 00:11:33,900
been doing in this approach or
along, is we want to think about

199
00:11:33,900 –> 00:11:37,700
the symbol and we want to look
at it from a Bible perspective.

200
00:11:37,700 –> 00:11:39,700
What are The Echoes?
What do we find?

201
00:11:39,700 –> 00:11:42,500
What’s being taught to us
through the number 6 and

202
00:11:42,500 –> 00:11:45,900
particularly through the number
666 and see what spiritual

203
00:11:45,900 –> 00:11:47,500
truth.
The Lord Jesus Christ is

204
00:11:47,500 –> 00:11:49,800
potentially trying to share with
us today.

205
00:11:49,800 –> 00:11:55,400
At Manuka in Portland, Oregon in
South Africa, in 2018 And how is

206
00:11:55,400 –> 00:11:58,300
it relevant to us.
So that’s what we’re going to

207
00:11:58,308 –> 00:12:01,800
spend some time doing.
And I want to start off with

208
00:12:02,400 –> 00:12:07,500
just thinking about this idea of
six and seven in the Book of

209
00:12:07,500 –> 00:12:10,300
Revelation.
Obviously, we reading here and

210
00:12:10,300 –> 00:12:14,700
we focused on the number of the
Beast, this idea of 666.

211
00:12:15,000 –> 00:12:17,200
But as I said from the
beginning, there’s just one

212
00:12:17,200 –> 00:12:18,800
piece of arithmetic.
You’re going to need to remember

213
00:12:18,800 –> 00:12:21,500
today, to get really the power
of the message of the Book of

214
00:12:21,508 –> 00:12:24,500
Revelation.
I was just talking to to John

215
00:12:24,500 –> 00:12:25,900
before.
Came and stood up.

216
00:12:25,900 –> 00:12:29,300
Yeah, and he really he said he
thinks he can summarize

217
00:12:29,300 –> 00:12:32,200
Revelation into words and he’s
doing a better job than me.

218
00:12:32,200 –> 00:12:36,000
I’m going to summarize it using
a equation and then I’m going to

219
00:12:36,008 –> 00:12:38,000
tell you what has two words on.
You can see whether you agree.

220
00:12:38,400 –> 00:12:41,700
So, so if we look at sixes and
sevens in the Book of

221
00:12:41,700 –> 00:12:45,600
Revelation, we’re told, as you
can see, in that passage that

222
00:12:45,600 –> 00:12:48,700
we’ve got up there, that here is
wisdom, let him who has

223
00:12:48,700 –> 00:12:51,700
understanding calculate or the
word is count.

224
00:12:52,400 –> 00:12:54,700
The number of the Beast and of
course, that’s there too many.

225
00:12:54,800 –> 00:12:58,400
People trying to count and that
people’s names and work out,

226
00:12:58,400 –> 00:13:01,700
whether they can make it, work,
666, and maybe maybe there’s

227
00:13:01,700 –> 00:13:03,200
something there.
But I’m going to do a simple

228
00:13:03,200 –> 00:13:05,900
count for you and account that
I’m going to do is this, let’s

229
00:13:05,900 –> 00:13:08,800
look at six and seven.
In the Book of Revelation, I

230
00:13:08,800 –> 00:13:13,900
mentioned this little chart here
and if I zoom in’ over there and

231
00:13:13,900 –> 00:13:16,900
if I use my little fences in
which are actually fun to use

232
00:13:16,900 –> 00:13:20,300
too often because it’s actually
I think it’s not.

233
00:13:20,500 –> 00:13:23,500
Let me forget my fancy Zoom.
All right over here we can see

234
00:13:23,900 –> 00:13:26,600
the number 6.
Hopefully those have got good

235
00:13:26,600 –> 00:13:28,200
eyes.
How many times as the number 6

236
00:13:28,200 –> 00:13:30,700
appear in the Book of Revelation
1.

237
00:13:31,000 –> 00:13:36,600
The number six appears far Tom’s
Below on the screen. 666 will

238
00:13:36,600 –> 00:13:40,100
appear once in Toto.
If you want to take all variants

239
00:13:40,100 –> 00:13:43,300
of six, you’ve got seven, you
agree.

240
00:13:44,200 –> 00:13:45,600
Not to much difficult
calculation.

241
00:13:45,600 –> 00:13:50,900
There, let’s take the number.
77, how many times 54 75?

242
00:13:51,800 –> 00:13:56,000
Total?
59 basic mathematics.

243
00:13:56,000 –> 00:13:59,000
Which one is greater than the
other, the sevens of the sixes.

244
00:14:00,400 –> 00:14:04,200
Seven Trump’s 6 in the Book of
Revelation John says Book of

245
00:14:04,200 –> 00:14:06,800
Revelation, not what the John
that gave us the book, The Other

246
00:14:06,800 –> 00:14:12,800
John, the John and the room two
words, Jesus wins seven Trump’s

247
00:14:13,000 –> 00:14:17,000
six so we can work out what 7
means and what sex means that’s

248
00:14:17,000 –> 00:14:18,300
it.
That’s all you need to take away

249
00:14:18,300 –> 00:14:20,300
from today numbers in the Book
of Revelation.

250
00:14:20,700 –> 00:14:22,400
But this is the powerful
statement.

251
00:14:22,400 –> 00:14:24,800
Just opening up the book and
listening to what it’s saying to

252
00:14:24,800 –> 00:14:26,800
us.
And of course, you know, when we

253
00:14:26,800 –> 00:14:29,600
talk about numbers and we go and
have a look at what they mean.

254
00:14:30,500 –> 00:14:33,000
Sometimes there’s numbers that
we can get a bit doubtful about

255
00:14:33,000 –> 00:14:34,700
the meaning of them.
And there can be a number of

256
00:14:34,708 –> 00:14:37,300
different meanings and of
course, I should always say

257
00:14:37,300 –> 00:14:39,600
every number with my
multi-dimensional Approach will

258
00:14:39,600 –> 00:14:41,700
have a number of different
meanings, but I think there are

259
00:14:41,700 –> 00:14:46,100
two numbers that we can be
pretty sure about what they are

260
00:14:46,400 –> 00:14:49,200
trying to communicate.
And that’s the number 6 and the

261
00:14:49,208 –> 00:14:53,600
number 7 and and, you know, we
know in a sense that the Book of

262
00:14:53,600 –> 00:14:57,100
Revelation is about the number
7s Victory because right at the

263
00:14:57,100 –> 00:15:00,500
beginning, when when John is is
given the vision, What does he

264
00:15:00,500 –> 00:15:02,400
say?
I was taken up in the spirit on

265
00:15:03,000 –> 00:15:08,000
the Valor, Lord’s Day.
The Lord’s day.

266
00:15:08,200 –> 00:15:09,900
What do we start with talking
about?

267
00:15:10,300 –> 00:15:13,500
At the beginning of our session?
Cami had an expectation on the

268
00:15:13,800 –> 00:15:18,200
Lord’s Day Sabbath seventh day.
So right at the beginning, we’re

269
00:15:18,200 –> 00:15:21,000
kind of given a hint.
That this book is about the

270
00:15:21,000 –> 00:15:24,200
victory of the seventh day.
It’s about the victory of the

271
00:15:24,200 –> 00:15:27,700
Lord’s day, and that’s what
plays out throughout the book

272
00:15:27,900 –> 00:15:31,400
I’ve said over and over again,
it’s about a tussle for power.

273
00:15:31,700 –> 00:15:34,200
There’s Rebellion man wants to
take power man.

274
00:15:34,200 –> 00:15:37,100
Wants to establish Which is 9
and God is working through the

275
00:15:37,100 –> 00:15:40,000
process and saying that seven
Trump’s six.

276
00:15:40,300 –> 00:15:44,400
So, that is at its simplest.
Principal Revelation 1:10.

277
00:15:44,400 –> 00:15:47,100
I was in the spirit on the
Lord’s day and heard behind me a

278
00:15:47,100 –> 00:15:49,200
loud voice.
As of a trumpet, everything,

279
00:15:49,200 –> 00:15:52,000
that really happens here is
about the Lord’s Day.

280
00:15:52,300 –> 00:16:00,500
The seventh day is a Victorious.
but in reality, we can get

281
00:16:00,500 –> 00:16:04,900
caught into understanding that,
but we’re sucked in the sixth

282
00:16:04,900 –> 00:16:08,000
day.
We wake up each day and and

283
00:16:08,000 –> 00:16:12,100
things are as they were they
continue as that passage says

284
00:16:12,100 –> 00:16:14,100
there.
Since the father’s fell asleep,

285
00:16:14,100 –> 00:16:18,000
man continues to exert his
power, the tribulation, the

286
00:16:18,000 –> 00:16:22,000
suffering, the pain of the
Six-Day just carries on, I guess

287
00:16:22,000 –> 00:16:24,000
it’s a bit of poetic Liberty I’m
using.

288
00:16:24,000 –> 00:16:26,400
Yeah, but I think there’s
something significant in it

289
00:16:26,400 –> 00:16:30,400
being 666.
I understand it. 6, but this

290
00:16:30,500 –> 00:16:32,200
there’s almost a stutter
happening here.

291
00:16:32,500 –> 00:16:41,100
There’s that we’re stuck on 6, 1
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6.

292
00:16:41,500 –> 00:16:45,500
There’s a difficulty to get
through six to seven and I think

293
00:16:45,500 –> 00:16:48,900
the Book of Revelation is
telling us that sevens coming,

294
00:16:48,900 –> 00:16:53,600
don’t get stuck in 6.
Don’t fall into the Trap of

295
00:16:53,600 –> 00:16:56,700
looking around the world and,
and your experiences and saying,

296
00:16:57,200 –> 00:16:59,600
I don’t know, so much about the
seven ever coming.

297
00:17:00,700 –> 00:17:03,200
That was the spirit that Peter
is referring to their way.

298
00:17:03,500 –> 00:17:08,099
People looked around and I said,
I don’t think so, and that’s

299
00:17:08,099 –> 00:17:10,099
what he says they did in the day
of his of Noah, floods.

300
00:17:10,099 –> 00:17:11,800
Coming, floods, coming floods
coming.

301
00:17:12,500 –> 00:17:14,599
Interestingly enough.
How old was no when the floods

302
00:17:14,599 –> 00:17:20,500
did come 600 years.
Wait, at six day and then the

303
00:17:20,500 –> 00:17:25,200
change the flood came and the
change took place.

304
00:17:25,200 –> 00:17:28,400
So there is this, this principle
that I’ll be referring to over

305
00:17:28,400 –> 00:17:32,600
and over again, of, of moving
from six to seven, not been

306
00:17:32,600 –> 00:17:35,600
caught in the transience of the
sixth day.

307
00:17:35,900 –> 00:17:39,800
It’s a day of transients, but it
can become a day that feels so

308
00:17:39,800 –> 00:17:44,300
permanent a for us.
So, let’s use the technique.

309
00:17:44,300 –> 00:17:48,600
We’ve continuously used, let’s
let’s think about the number 62.

310
00:17:48,800 –> 00:17:53,000
With your move on to 666 and and
let’s go to Genesis and and

311
00:17:53,000 –> 00:17:57,000
let’s confirm what seems to be
the right approach that this

312
00:17:57,000 –> 00:18:01,000
number is all about man and and
you’ll know where I’m going.

313
00:18:01,000 –> 00:18:03,600
But I want to focus your
attention on something that

314
00:18:03,600 –> 00:18:07,100
perhaps we don’t think about as
much when we go to Genesis.

315
00:18:07,200 –> 00:18:09,000
So if you have your Bibles it
might be carried to go to

316
00:18:09,000 –> 00:18:12,900
Genesis 1:20 for.
And here we have the sixth day

317
00:18:12,900 –> 00:18:16,900
and we know that this is the day
of man’s creation, but what we

318
00:18:16,900 –> 00:18:20,500
may not pick up with and the
beginning of the echo, is there

319
00:18:20,500 –> 00:18:22,600
for us and it’s a beautiful
Echo.

320
00:18:22,600 –> 00:18:24,600
Isn’t it to the passage in
Revelation?

321
00:18:24,600 –> 00:18:28,600
Because Genesis 1 is not just
about the creation of, man?

322
00:18:29,100 –> 00:18:32,500
We know from our Sunday school
bus 24 on the sixth day.

323
00:18:32,500 –> 00:18:34,900
The Lord said, let the Earth
bring forth the living creature.

324
00:18:34,900 –> 00:18:40,000
According to its kind, cattle
and creeping thing, and beast of

325
00:18:40,000 –> 00:18:42,300
the earth.
You see those kind of?

326
00:18:42,800 –> 00:18:44,200
This is what makes the word of
God.

327
00:18:44,200 –> 00:18:49,200
So incredible.
That the number 6 has now become

328
00:18:49,200 –> 00:18:51,900
the number of the Beast or the
number of the Beast has now

329
00:18:51,900 –> 00:18:55,000
become synonymous with the
number of men, but it was there.

330
00:18:55,400 –> 00:18:59,300
The potential for that was right
there because the Six-Day was

331
00:18:59,300 –> 00:19:01,600
not just the day of man’s
creation.

332
00:19:02,000 –> 00:19:06,000
It was the day of the beasts
creation, and in fact that

333
00:19:06,000 –> 00:19:09,600
where’d they catch on piling up,
not the word beast at depending

334
00:19:09,600 –> 00:19:11,200
on your version.
I’m reading the new King James

335
00:19:11,200 –> 00:19:14,200
version but the word their
cattle is in fact, the word

336
00:19:14,200 –> 00:19:18,000
beast that’s picked up in You,
when you have the beasts that

337
00:19:18,000 –> 00:19:20,300
are presented exactly.
That same word that’s used their

338
00:19:20,300 –> 00:19:22,900
cattle.
So these are, this is a beast

339
00:19:22,900 –> 00:19:26,400
system right there.
In Genesis, 1 and verse 24, but

340
00:19:26,400 –> 00:19:29,200
here’s the thing right in the
beginning.

341
00:19:29,200 –> 00:19:32,800
We’re told this.
We’re told that that man, verse

342
00:19:32,800 –> 00:19:38,500
26, that man, let man, let us
make man verse 26 in our image.

343
00:19:39,200 –> 00:19:41,600
So on the sixth day, there are
beasts created and then there’s

344
00:19:41,600 –> 00:19:44,700
a special creation and I’ve been
teaching the young people about

345
00:19:44,700 –> 00:19:47,700
the key.
To the worldview Christianity’s

346
00:19:47,700 –> 00:19:49,700
worldview on Origin, two key
things.

347
00:19:49,700 –> 00:19:51,900
First of all that God made
Heaven and Earth.

348
00:19:51,900 –> 00:19:55,300
Absolutely second that he made a
special creature called Man In

349
00:19:55,300 –> 00:19:57,800
His Image.
Once you get that idea,

350
00:19:57,800 –> 00:20:00,700
everything makes sense there
after this is why he’s special,

351
00:20:00,700 –> 00:20:04,100
he’s in his image.
But here’s the thing because

352
00:20:04,100 –> 00:20:07,600
he’s in his image.
Look what it says, let him have

353
00:20:07,600 –> 00:20:11,000
dominion over the fish of the
sea, the birds of the air, and

354
00:20:11,000 –> 00:20:15,800
over all the cattle, the beasts,
verse 28, then God blessed them.

355
00:20:16,000 –> 00:20:19,400
Adam and Eve and said be
fruitful multiply fill the Earth

356
00:20:19,400 –> 00:20:23,200
and subdue it and have dominion
listen to the language.

357
00:20:23,700 –> 00:20:27,800
I mean, it’s almost as if God is
saying this is a day that has a

358
00:20:27,800 –> 00:20:32,300
beast and a man on it.
But you you are made in the

359
00:20:32,300 –> 00:20:34,300
image of God and what you need
to do.

360
00:20:34,300 –> 00:20:37,000
The parable playing itself out
you is you need to have

361
00:20:37,000 –> 00:20:38,800
dominion.
You need to subdue.

362
00:20:38,800 –> 00:20:42,400
The Beast, that was created on
your day and in doing that you

363
00:20:42,500 –> 00:20:45,000
will reveal, you will give glory
to the image of God.

364
00:20:45,000 –> 00:20:49,900
Your move to the seventh day.
Because that’s my day you’ll

365
00:20:49,900 –> 00:20:54,800
move from six to seven.
And when we understand that, we

366
00:20:54,800 –> 00:20:58,600
begin to understand that.
Absolutely.

367
00:20:58,600 –> 00:21:01,100
What’s being taught in
Revelation, the idea of the

368
00:21:01,100 –> 00:21:05,300
image, the idea of the Beast.
Actually, now being man having

369
00:21:05,300 –> 00:21:09,200
chosen not to reveal the image
of God, but the image of beasts.

370
00:21:09,300 –> 00:21:12,300
And so now the beast in a sense
is ruling over the Six-Day

371
00:21:12,300 –> 00:21:17,000
because man has worshipped, not
the image of God but the image

372
00:21:17,000 –> 00:21:20,600
of the Beast.
And so this idea is clear and of

373
00:21:20,608 –> 00:21:24,100
course, when we follow that, the
history of Israel which we’re

374
00:21:24,100 –> 00:21:28,100
seeing in Bulls talks is a
parable teaches Not so bad.

375
00:21:28,600 –> 00:21:32,600
Laughs today in 2018, this idea
that Israel had to subdue the

376
00:21:32,600 –> 00:21:35,600
nation’s in a sense that was the
way they were going to have to

377
00:21:35,600 –> 00:21:39,700
dominate the influence of the
world system, the Beast system

378
00:21:39,700 –> 00:21:42,900
and and and when they came into
the land we’re told that one of

379
00:21:42,900 –> 00:21:46,000
the first things they were told
to do set up the Tabernacle and

380
00:21:46,000 –> 00:21:49,200
subdue, the land.
It’s the same word have dominion

381
00:21:49,600 –> 00:21:53,700
over the system that can come in
and poison you David.

382
00:21:54,500 –> 00:21:57,200
The same word is used of David.
David dedicated.

383
00:21:57,300 –> 00:21:59,600
David, all the things that he
had the silver and the gold, he

384
00:21:59,600 –> 00:22:04,400
dedicated them in preparation
for the temple, which from the

385
00:22:04,400 –> 00:22:08,600
Nations, which he had subdued,
there’s that same word to subdue

386
00:22:08,600 –> 00:22:16,400
to have have dominion So the
man’s intention is to is to fill

387
00:22:16,400 –> 00:22:19,500
the Earth with God’s image.
So that ultimately as I said, we

388
00:22:19,500 –> 00:22:21,400
can move from the sixth stage of
the seventh day.

389
00:22:21,400 –> 00:22:25,300
We can move to the day that
Revelation envisions when God

390
00:22:25,300 –> 00:22:30,900
will say, I can live with man,
my day becomes the Earth stay

391
00:22:31,300 –> 00:22:34,500
and so there’s this idea that
the Book of Revelation is trying

392
00:22:34,500 –> 00:22:39,800
to move us from the sixth day to
the seventh day, but we find

393
00:22:39,800 –> 00:22:43,500
ourselves trapped in The seventh
day.

394
00:22:43,500 –> 00:22:49,400
So let’s, let’s start.
Have a look at how one gets to

395
00:22:49,400 –> 00:22:51,800
move from the 6th to the seventh
day.

396
00:22:51,900 –> 00:22:54,700
How do we get to overcome?
How do we get to subdue, the

397
00:22:54,700 –> 00:22:56,900
Beast?
And of course we fall into the

398
00:22:56,900 –> 00:23:00,200
Trap over and over again.
I’m thinking well Matt the only

399
00:23:00,200 –> 00:23:02,600
way we can subdue.
The Beast is to understand what

400
00:23:02,600 –> 00:23:03,900
it is.
It’s in.

401
00:23:04,200 –> 00:23:07,100
It’s the world that’s around us
and we need to fight against it.

402
00:23:07,700 –> 00:23:09,600
We need to resist it.
We need to come to barber

403
00:23:09,600 –> 00:23:13,100
schools and Reid are barbels
more and we need to find a way

404
00:23:13,100 –> 00:23:16,400
of defeating the Beast.
And of course, all of that would

405
00:23:16,400 –> 00:23:20,600
be Absolutely wrong.
If that’s a conclusion, we came

406
00:23:20,600 –> 00:23:24,400
to because there’s no way no
matter how much we read our

407
00:23:24,400 –> 00:23:26,200
Bibles.
There’s no way.

408
00:23:26,200 –> 00:23:29,200
No matter how many Bible
schools, you come to 50 in a row

409
00:23:30,000 –> 00:23:34,200
that you’ll ever gained the
strength to subdue the beasts of

410
00:23:34,200 –> 00:23:36,800
the sixth day.
You know, the Bible doesn’t take

411
00:23:36,800 –> 00:23:41,200
long to tell you how to do it.
In Genesis 3, straight away, the

412
00:23:41,200 –> 00:23:45,600
message is given to Adam and
Eve, the only one will subdue

413
00:23:45,600 –> 00:23:49,000
that Beast.
Only one will have the capacity

414
00:23:49,000 –> 00:23:51,500
and the power to inflict upon
it.

415
00:23:51,500 –> 00:23:55,500
A mortal wound and you don’t
need me to teach you that.

416
00:23:55,500 –> 00:23:57,600
That one is our Lord Jesus
Christ.

417
00:23:58,200 –> 00:24:03,200
The one who will be able to
destroy the Beast and that is

418
00:24:03,200 –> 00:24:06,800
exactly what we have here.
The only way to destroy the

419
00:24:06,800 –> 00:24:11,600
Beast, the seed of the woman,
That bruises the head of the

420
00:24:11,600 –> 00:24:17,700
serpent.
When John, here’s some passages,

421
00:24:17,700 –> 00:24:19,500
I won’t go through those for the
sake of time.

422
00:24:19,500 –> 00:24:24,100
But when John describes, this
Beast system, he obviously

423
00:24:24,100 –> 00:24:27,800
brings the language forward and,
and explains to us that we live

424
00:24:27,800 –> 00:24:31,600
in the world.
The cosmos the, the world system

425
00:24:31,700 –> 00:24:35,500
with all of its influences.
And it’s this system that we’re

426
00:24:35,500 –> 00:24:38,600
up against that we are trying to
resist through the power of the

427
00:24:38,600 –> 00:24:40,500
Lord Jesus Christ.
It’s interesting.

428
00:24:40,500 –> 00:24:43,000
You may not have noticed it when
he, he has this beautiful

429
00:24:43,000 –> 00:24:44,400
passage about the love of the
world.

430
00:24:44,500 –> 00:24:48,200
Load and the love of the father.
Do not love the world or the

431
00:24:48,200 –> 00:24:51,000
things in the world.
If anyone loves the world, the

432
00:24:51,000 –> 00:24:53,400
love of the father is not in him
for all that is in the world,

433
00:24:53,400 –> 00:24:56,400
the lust of the flesh, the lust
of the eyes, the pride of life

434
00:24:56,400 –> 00:25:00,300
is not of the father, but of the
world, and the world is passing

435
00:25:00,300 –> 00:25:03,900
away and the lust of it.
But he who does the will of God

436
00:25:03,900 –> 00:25:06,500
abides forever, the word their
world.

437
00:25:06,500 –> 00:25:09,000
This this Beast system six
times.

438
00:25:09,600 –> 00:25:13,400
Again, the number six link to
the world link to the Beast.

439
00:25:13,800 –> 00:25:16,500
And of course he brought Brings
the idea to us again, that it’s

440
00:25:16,500 –> 00:25:20,600
passing away, the sixth day
comes to an end, there’s an

441
00:25:20,600 –> 00:25:25,100
evening and we are to wait for
the beginning of the seventh

442
00:25:25,100 –> 00:25:27,700
day.
So I think you’ll agree.

443
00:25:27,700 –> 00:25:31,000
There’s some powerful Echo.
Some very, very simple ideas

444
00:25:31,300 –> 00:25:32,800
that we can grab.
Hold of.

445
00:25:33,000 –> 00:25:36,700
Yes.
The number 6 represents man, but

446
00:25:37,100 –> 00:25:41,300
worse, it represents a beast
system that man no longer gives

447
00:25:41,300 –> 00:25:44,300
glory to the image of God or
Works to reveal the image of

448
00:25:44,500 –> 00:25:47,200
That he ends up revealing the
very image of that, which he

449
00:25:47,200 –> 00:25:49,500
should have had dominion over it
teaches us.

450
00:25:49,500 –> 00:25:52,700
That the only way he can have
dominion over that is to find

451
00:25:52,800 –> 00:25:56,900
the seed of the woman and in
doing that move from day six

452
00:25:57,300 –> 00:26:00,300
today seven.
So I want to now due to take

453
00:26:00,300 –> 00:26:03,300
what we’ve learned about six and
then maybe focus on Echoes of

454
00:26:03,300 –> 00:26:06,100
666.
So let’s have a few few few

455
00:26:06,200 –> 00:26:09,400
Echoes of 666 and I’m sure some
of you who’ve looked at this

456
00:26:09,400 –> 00:26:11,900
looking at from a Biblical
perspective would have been to

457
00:26:11,900 –> 00:26:15,500
some of these places and some
are Are more meaningful than

458
00:26:15,500 –> 00:26:19,200
others, but the three areas.
Where arguably there are at

459
00:26:19,200 –> 00:26:22,100
least a multitude of sixes and
potentially three sixes.

460
00:26:22,400 –> 00:26:24,500
And I’m not.
So concerned as to whether it’s

461
00:26:24,500 –> 00:26:28,000
an exact match to 666.
But I am trying to illustrate

462
00:26:28,000 –> 00:26:32,200
examples of where the number six
comes up and perhaps we are

463
00:26:32,200 –> 00:26:35,500
gaining lessons.
So let’s do that before I do

464
00:26:35,500 –> 00:26:37,400
that.
Oh, this is very interesting

465
00:26:38,500 –> 00:26:39,900
tomorrow.
We’re going to talk about

466
00:26:40,100 –> 00:26:44,300
focusing on spiritual but the
natural world so often teachers

467
00:26:44,700 –> 00:26:46,200
What the spiritual world is
teaching us.

468
00:26:46,200 –> 00:26:47,900
We got to see an example of that
very clearly.

469
00:26:47,900 –> 00:26:51,900
And I meditation tomorrow, I did
this session as I say previously

470
00:26:51,900 –> 00:26:54,100
and someone came up to me and
I’m not a chemist.

471
00:26:54,100 –> 00:26:56,200
So if this is wrong, I have
tried to check it on the

472
00:26:56,208 –> 00:26:58,200
internet.
You can correct me, but they

473
00:26:58,200 –> 00:27:00,800
made an interesting observation.
And the observation is that

474
00:27:00,800 –> 00:27:05,800
carbon, which is one of the most
abundant, not the most abundant

475
00:27:06,700 –> 00:27:09,900
elements in our Earth, as we
know it.

476
00:27:09,900 –> 00:27:13,500
In fact, what’s interesting is
carbon is the second most

477
00:27:13,500 –> 00:27:15,500
abundant element Moment in the
human body.

478
00:27:16,300 –> 00:27:19,700
What’s the most anybody know?
The answer oxygen?

479
00:27:20,700 –> 00:27:22,600
Okay, no, a chemist.
I might go with him.

480
00:27:22,800 –> 00:27:24,900
All right, let’s call it.
One of the gases.

481
00:27:25,100 –> 00:27:28,000
I’m happy to go with one of the
guests and interested goes up.

482
00:27:28,000 –> 00:27:29,900
We could go down there.
Ask you again?

483
00:27:29,900 –> 00:27:33,100
What Trump’s what?
So, the gases and the are

484
00:27:33,200 –> 00:27:37,200
trumping, the material matter,
but carbon and I’m open run on

485
00:27:37,200 –> 00:27:40,200
this second most abundant
element in the human body and

486
00:27:40,200 –> 00:27:44,200
interestingly enough, as you can
see there it is, number 6 on the

487
00:27:44,200 –> 00:27:46,800
periodic table, and I’ll check
with John.

488
00:27:46,800 –> 00:27:50,300
Yeah, am I okay to stay there,
six, electrons, six, new.

489
00:27:50,500 –> 00:27:52,900
Runs and six protons in the
carbonate.

490
00:27:53,100 –> 00:27:56,900
So, perhaps nature also teaching
us something about what we’re

491
00:27:56,900 –> 00:28:00,800
talking about.
So let’s move to spiritual

492
00:28:00,800 –> 00:28:02,800
Echoes which are much more
exciting.

493
00:28:03,700 –> 00:28:05,600
So this one you may or may not
have seen.

494
00:28:05,900 –> 00:28:11,400
Perhaps the first example of 666
in the scriptures or certainly

495
00:28:11,600 –> 00:28:14,700
that which is manifesting.
The number six is of course, an

496
00:28:14,700 –> 00:28:19,400
example of Goliath David comes
up against this champion of the

497
00:28:19,400 –> 00:28:23,500
Philistines He’s presented to us
as this ugly enemy.

498
00:28:23,500 –> 00:28:26,700
This all powerful enemy that all
of the Israelites are running

499
00:28:26,700 –> 00:28:30,000
from.
And in second Samuel, we read

500
00:28:30,300 –> 00:28:33,900
this Champion went out and
immediately the echo is there,

501
00:28:34,000 –> 00:28:38,500
we’re told that he is very tall,
his heart is six cubits and a

502
00:28:38,508 –> 00:28:40,800
span.
So our attention is drawn to

503
00:28:40,800 –> 00:28:45,200
this this representation of the
number of man, but we pick up

504
00:28:45,200 –> 00:28:49,100
another six.
If you come down to verse 7,

505
00:28:49,400 –> 00:28:53,600
we’re told that his The
spearhead this incredible sphere

506
00:28:53,600 –> 00:28:57,900
that he carried was so heavy
that it weighed 600 shekels.

507
00:28:58,100 –> 00:29:01,400
Again, one of the, I love
reading transliterations and

508
00:29:01,400 –> 00:29:02,700
some of the newer versions of
the Bible.

509
00:29:02,700 –> 00:29:07,000
I think it gives us great
insights into into the kind of

510
00:29:07,000 –> 00:29:08,900
meaning, and the spirit behind
many passages.

511
00:29:08,900 –> 00:29:11,900
But one of the great things of
keeping also a literal version

512
00:29:11,900 –> 00:29:14,400
of the Bible in our in our
Worcester.

513
00:29:14,400 –> 00:29:17,400
Have you read the Bible is
because it does preserve some of

514
00:29:17,400 –> 00:29:20,300
the numbers that seem to be in
the original manuscripts and so

515
00:29:20,700 –> 00:29:24,800
We can pick up the idea that six
is here, also in the spear that

516
00:29:24,800 –> 00:29:28,700
Goliath was carrying and
potentially there’s another six

517
00:29:28,700 –> 00:29:32,100
hidden and Goliath.
I won’t belabor the point but

518
00:29:32,200 –> 00:29:36,700
they are six specific items that
are recorded that Goliath is

519
00:29:36,700 –> 00:29:40,400
wearing the one perhaps it could
be argued as a spear we are told

520
00:29:40,400 –> 00:29:44,100
about the the actual shaft and
then the spearhead six items,

521
00:29:44,500 –> 00:29:49,000
six cubits High 600 shekels.
So there’s definitely 6 is

522
00:29:49,000 –> 00:29:52,600
involved with this giant that
David is coming into into

523
00:29:52,600 –> 00:29:56,000
contact with and, you know, the
story and it’s interesting.

524
00:29:56,000 –> 00:30:00,200
Even in this story is the
allusion to the beast when

525
00:30:00,200 –> 00:30:04,300
Goliath confronts David.
This is what he says, first of

526
00:30:04,300 –> 00:30:08,600
Samuel, 17 verse 44, the full of
science said to David come to me

527
00:30:09,000 –> 00:30:14,200
and I will give your flesh to
the birds of the air and Beasts

528
00:30:14,200 –> 00:30:17,900
of the field, right?
So who do I represent Hoover?

529
00:30:17,900 –> 00:30:20,700
Come to give dominion to the
beasts of the field.

530
00:30:20,800 –> 00:30:24,500
I mean, these Echoes cannot be
by by pure chance.

531
00:30:24,500 –> 00:30:27,400
The word of God is just echoing
through everything.

532
00:30:27,400 –> 00:30:29,700
We are reading here, so he
represents that which gives

533
00:30:29,700 –> 00:30:32,100
Victory to the Beast.
Interestingly enough David does

534
00:30:32,100 –> 00:30:35,000
use a similar retort but he
makes it clear way.

535
00:30:35,000 –> 00:30:39,800
His powers coming from, he makes
it clear and this is key that he

536
00:30:39,800 –> 00:30:44,200
is not going to fight this giant
with a spear or a Sword or

537
00:30:44,200 –> 00:30:47,100
whatever saw could make
available, but by the hand of

538
00:30:47,100 –> 00:30:49,300
the Lord.
And so this idea that we said,

539
00:30:49,300 –> 00:30:52,300
the Dominion, the way to
overcome the Beast, the way to

540
00:30:52,300 –> 00:30:58,600
triumph over 6 is built into
this idea that we have to find

541
00:30:58,600 –> 00:31:01,500
the stone, which the builders
rejected we have to have the

542
00:31:01,500 –> 00:31:04,700
Lord, Jesus Christ at the center
of our discipleship.

543
00:31:05,500 –> 00:31:09,100
Any other energy, any other
effort will not achieve the

544
00:31:09,100 –> 00:31:12,400
victory.
So here is a manifestation as it

545
00:31:12,400 –> 00:31:17,000
were of 66.
Six in a very ugly very very

546
00:31:17,500 –> 00:31:21,700
noticeable form the enemy
dressed like we might expect to

547
00:31:21,700 –> 00:31:25,300
see Amman and so the next
example where we see this

548
00:31:26,400 –> 00:31:30,000
repetition of six is in this
story that you also know very

549
00:31:30,000 –> 00:31:33,200
well.
The story of Nebuchadnezzar’s

550
00:31:33,200 –> 00:31:35,300
image that he put up on the
plains of shine.

551
00:31:35,300 –> 00:31:40,100
Oh, and here is this, this great
golden image that he establishes

552
00:31:40,100 –> 00:31:43,400
and calls all the nations and to
to worship?

553
00:31:43,700 –> 00:31:48,400
and, It says this and Daniel,
three and adverse one

554
00:31:48,400 –> 00:31:52,400
Nebuchadnezzar, the king made an
image of gold whose height was

555
00:31:52,600 –> 00:31:55,600
60 cubits and its with six
cubits.

556
00:31:55,600 –> 00:31:57,700
So immediately, we have our
attention drawn.

557
00:31:58,300 –> 00:32:01,400
There’s this ripert of
repetitive use of the word six.

558
00:32:01,800 –> 00:32:05,000
And again, potentially the third
6 is not as obvious.

559
00:32:05,000 –> 00:32:08,200
It’s the idea that when they
were called to worship this

560
00:32:08,200 –> 00:32:11,600
Idol, there were six forms or
categories of instruments.

561
00:32:11,600 –> 00:32:15,500
The last being just a category
of instruments that were played

562
00:32:15,500 –> 00:32:19,600
to Them to worship the image.
That Nebuchadnezzar had

563
00:32:19,600 –> 00:32:21,700
established a couple more Echoes
to pick up.

564
00:32:21,700 –> 00:32:25,800
We’re going to pick up now, the
idea of gold, the image that has

565
00:32:25,800 –> 00:32:27,800
six associated with noise,
linked to Gold.

566
00:32:27,800 –> 00:32:29,400
We’re going to see that come
through of it later.

567
00:32:29,600 –> 00:32:33,400
So here is 666 linked to Gold.
We’ve seen the 666 in the

568
00:32:33,400 –> 00:32:35,600
example of glite was linked to
Beast.

569
00:32:35,900 –> 00:32:39,000
What happens to Nebuchadnezzar?
Not long after this incident, he

570
00:32:39,000 –> 00:32:43,300
becomes as a beast, Again, The
Echoes are running through.

571
00:32:43,300 –> 00:32:45,700
This is the this is what makes
it so exciting.

572
00:32:45,800 –> 00:32:48,400
And to pull these strings and
see the word of God’s

573
00:32:48,400 –> 00:32:50,900
integration, it’s all integrated
together.

574
00:32:51,700 –> 00:32:54,600
And what’s interesting here and
I think sometimes we must this

575
00:32:54,600 –> 00:33:00,300
point that that, whereas the the
manifestation of that system in

576
00:33:00,300 –> 00:33:06,100
Goliath was around fear.
Nobody in the world, Works in

577
00:33:06,100 –> 00:33:10,300
theory, it takes over our mind,
through fear, through a Goliath

578
00:33:10,300 –> 00:33:13,200
system, but sometimes it works
exactly the opposite.

579
00:33:13,800 –> 00:33:17,800
There’s, there’s the idea
potentially that that this image

580
00:33:17,800 –> 00:33:20,100
that is presented by
Nebuchadnezzar is about fear,

581
00:33:20,100 –> 00:33:22,700
but to me, it’s actually was
more about attraction.

582
00:33:23,700 –> 00:33:25,700
Yeah.
This the idea of this image was

583
00:33:25,700 –> 00:33:27,100
not to be something that was
ugly.

584
00:33:27,900 –> 00:33:31,100
It was made of gold.
I can tell you one thing if

585
00:33:31,100 –> 00:33:33,400
there was an image, this big
made of gold.

586
00:33:33,600 –> 00:33:35,800
In Oregon, we’d be making a stop
before.

587
00:33:35,800 –> 00:33:39,000
We went back to South Africa.
I mean it would be incredible

588
00:33:39,600 –> 00:33:41,800
pure gold.
You see Nebuchadnezzar wasn’t

589
00:33:41,800 –> 00:33:43,900
trying to make something ugly
that they would run away from.

590
00:33:44,600 –> 00:33:46,800
But something beautiful,
something attractive, come and

591
00:33:46,800 –> 00:33:50,300
have a look at it.
And I can imagine that that many

592
00:33:50,300 –> 00:33:52,400
of the Jews in Exile might have
thought to themselves.

593
00:33:52,400 –> 00:33:56,500
Well, you know, it’s quite
attractive and surely there’s

594
00:33:56,500 –> 00:33:59,100
nothing wrong if we just join
them with the rest of them in

595
00:33:59,100 –> 00:34:02,400
front of this attractive image
and pray to our God, we can

596
00:34:02,400 –> 00:34:04,400
still pray to our God.
And the presence of this

597
00:34:04,400 –> 00:34:09,199
beautiful image.
And so here is, I guess the, the

598
00:34:09,199 –> 00:34:13,100
world system presented in a
slightly different way they’re

599
00:34:13,500 –> 00:34:15,699
in our lives.
They are things of fear.

600
00:34:15,699 –> 00:34:18,300
That take away our Reliance on
God, but then there are things

601
00:34:18,300 –> 00:34:20,800
of Attraction, attracting us.
The things we are de lys.

602
00:34:21,000 –> 00:34:23,400
The things that we find
attractive that a calling us

603
00:34:23,400 –> 00:34:27,699
back to sixth, to be attracted
to, to this image.

604
00:34:28,100 –> 00:34:33,000
This image, that is presented
again as a giant. and once

605
00:34:33,000 –> 00:34:38,100
again, The three friends of
Daniel who resist that.

606
00:34:39,300 –> 00:34:42,000
They unable to resist the fact
that they’re going to die

607
00:34:42,000 –> 00:34:44,500
because of that and they’re
taken and they put into the

608
00:34:44,500 –> 00:34:47,400
fiery furnace and once again how
do they actually overcome the

609
00:34:47,400 –> 00:34:49,400
situation?
Well of course we never get

610
00:34:49,400 –> 00:34:53,800
there’s a looks down on them.
He sees that there are four

611
00:34:54,900 –> 00:34:58,100
Didn’t we put 3 into the fiery
furnace, but there’s four and

612
00:34:58,100 –> 00:35:00,500
the fourth looks like unto the
son of man.

613
00:35:01,500 –> 00:35:05,000
You see the echo continues,
you’re only going to ultimately

614
00:35:05,000 –> 00:35:08,700
overcome 666.
If you have the son of man with

615
00:35:08,700 –> 00:35:12,600
you.
Because he is Lord of the

616
00:35:12,600 –> 00:35:15,700
seventh day.
He is the one that will bring

617
00:35:15,700 –> 00:35:19,400
you into the seventh day.
You will not go into rest unless

618
00:35:19,400 –> 00:35:23,700
Joshua takes you interest.
These Echoes are coming thick

619
00:35:23,700 –> 00:35:27,300
and fast or the word of God as
we look at you, the biblical

620
00:35:27,300 –> 00:35:31,800
definition of 666.
And then of course, perhaps the

621
00:35:31,800 –> 00:35:37,100
most stunning, and most direct
Echo is found with this man.

622
00:35:38,500 –> 00:35:41,300
Solomon.
We read in first of Kings,

623
00:35:41,300 –> 00:35:47,800
chapter 10 and verse 14, the
weight of gold that came in to

624
00:35:47,800 –> 00:35:53,600
Solomon yearly was 666.
Talents of gold.

625
00:35:54,200 –> 00:35:56,500
And if that doesn’t make us look
carefully.

626
00:35:56,500 –> 00:35:59,500
And grab our attention.
Then nothing in scripture will

627
00:36:00,100 –> 00:36:06,200
because we saw a demonstration
of 666 in a giant from the

628
00:36:06,200 –> 00:36:10,000
Philistine land.
We saw In a beautiful Idol, in

629
00:36:10,000 –> 00:36:13,200
the land of Babylon, but wait a
minute.

630
00:36:14,000 –> 00:36:16,000
Now it’s right in our own
country.

631
00:36:17,000 –> 00:36:23,300
It’s right in our own church.
It’s the head of the temple.

632
00:36:23,400 –> 00:36:27,200
It’s the king who was made for
peace Solomon.

633
00:36:29,100 –> 00:36:32,700
Surely, there is something that
is or together different and

634
00:36:32,700 –> 00:36:36,500
again, we have this Association.
As you can see with gold.

635
00:36:36,700 –> 00:36:42,500
This this amount of money that
was collected by Solomon’s, 666

636
00:36:42,500 –> 00:36:45,500
talents of gold.
I’m told we’re doing comparisons

637
00:36:45,500 –> 00:36:48,500
that represents over a billion
dollars in.

638
00:36:48,500 –> 00:36:51,700
Today’s money, Solomon was
collecting a billion dollars a

639
00:36:51,700 –> 00:36:55,900
year.
He was a incredibly wealthy man.

640
00:36:56,500 –> 00:36:59,000
And what we discovered when, we
now dig a little bit deeper, Our

641
00:36:59,000 –> 00:37:00,800
into Solomon is quite
remarkable.

642
00:37:05,000 –> 00:37:08,100
I would argue that there’s no
other men in the Bible with whom

643
00:37:08,100 –> 00:37:11,600
6 is more associated with just
do your own research and your

644
00:37:11,600 –> 00:37:15,200
Bible concordance, put the
number six and variance 6600 and

645
00:37:15,200 –> 00:37:17,500
look at how many references come
up relating to Solomon.

646
00:37:17,700 –> 00:37:20,900
The one we spoken about the gold
talents, he buys chariots from

647
00:37:20,900 –> 00:37:23,500
Egypt for 600, Silver shekels,
will look a bit later.

648
00:37:23,500 –> 00:37:25,300
He builds a throne with six
skips.

649
00:37:25,700 –> 00:37:28,800
He by a Shields at our each 600
gold chicle Xin.

650
00:37:29,100 –> 00:37:34,500
Wait, he makes a part of the
temple using 600 gold talents of

651
00:37:34,500 –> 00:37:37,300
the Weight of the of the goal
that he used to Overlay the

652
00:37:37,300 –> 00:37:38,900
temple.
And there are a few other

653
00:37:38,900 –> 00:37:41,900
examples as well.
So the word of God is saying.

654
00:37:41,900 –> 00:37:46,300
Look at this, man.
This man that, that, that would

655
00:37:46,300 –> 00:37:48,500
be so close.
And so dear to you.

656
00:37:49,100 –> 00:37:53,000
And yet, there is an association
with six with this incredible

657
00:37:53,000 –> 00:37:55,900
man.
And there’s a sense of

658
00:37:55,900 –> 00:37:58,200
development here, isn’t there in
the concept of 666?

659
00:37:58,200 –> 00:38:01,000
Because we’re now having to
think about gold and we having

660
00:38:01,000 –> 00:38:04,600
to think about trading and we
know those Echoes are back there

661
00:38:04,600 –> 00:38:08,400
in the Book of Revelation and we
haven’t to think about the idea

662
00:38:08,600 –> 00:38:10,700
of money which we really looked
at today.

663
00:38:10,700 –> 00:38:13,900
The previous in the week that
the love of money is the root of

664
00:38:13,900 –> 00:38:16,200
all.
Evil, but where is the essence

665
00:38:16,200 –> 00:38:18,900
of this idea?
And the essence, I believe is in

666
00:38:18,900 –> 00:38:23,500
the idea that everything
ultimately has a price that

667
00:38:23,500 –> 00:38:27,100
everything, ultimately can be
traded this mindset that we can

668
00:38:27,100 –> 00:38:31,600
so easily fall into that.
There is a price of gold that

669
00:38:31,600 –> 00:38:35,200
everything can be bought with.
And when you’re there, when you

670
00:38:35,200 –> 00:38:38,900
at that point, you cannot move
to the seventh day because you

671
00:38:38,900 –> 00:38:45,400
cannot accept this.
For it says, in scripture look,

672
00:38:45,400 –> 00:38:51,100
I lay in Zion a stone, a Chosen
and Priceless, Cornerstone.

673
00:38:51,600 –> 00:38:54,800
And whoever believes in him will
never be put to shame.

674
00:38:55,800 –> 00:39:00,000
You see, this man has no price.
There is no trade that you can

675
00:39:00,000 –> 00:39:03,800
do for you.
And when we get locked into the

676
00:39:03,800 –> 00:39:09,200
sixth day, everything has a
price and we caught and unable

677
00:39:09,200 –> 00:39:16,200
to move.
You notice something really

678
00:39:16,200 –> 00:39:19,100
interesting.
When we read that meditation in

679
00:39:19,100 –> 00:39:23,200
Revelation, we often focus on
that verse saying, let us count

680
00:39:23,200 –> 00:39:25,700
the number of the beast, but
what does it say before that?

681
00:39:26,600 –> 00:39:32,200
Here is wisdom and let him who
has understanding.

682
00:39:32,900 –> 00:39:37,300
Now, I ask you of all the men in
the Bible, where is the echo

683
00:39:37,300 –> 00:39:40,000
being drawn to who is the man to
whom wisdom was given?

684
00:39:40,600 –> 00:39:42,800
Who is the man?
If you again, put in the words

685
00:39:42,800 –> 00:39:46,700
of wisdom and Standing at least
25% of the times that that

686
00:39:46,700 –> 00:39:49,700
appears, it’s either written
about Sodom or written by

687
00:39:49,700 –> 00:39:51,700
Solomon, those words appearing
together.

688
00:39:51,900 –> 00:39:55,500
Surely, we’re being told that
this is the one we should maybe

689
00:39:55,500 –> 00:39:58,300
look to, and listen to some of
the things that Solomon had to

690
00:39:58,300 –> 00:40:02,300
say about wisdom.
Proverbs 16, verse 16.

691
00:40:02,700 –> 00:40:06,200
How much better to get wisdom
than gold and to get

692
00:40:06,300 –> 00:40:09,500
understanding to be chosen
rather than silver.

693
00:40:10,700 –> 00:40:13,900
But the truth.
Again Solomon, Proverbs 23!

694
00:40:13,900 –> 00:40:16,500
Verse 23.
Listen to this bar, the truth

695
00:40:16,700 –> 00:40:20,900
and do not sell it.
Also wisdom and instruction and

696
00:40:20,900 –> 00:40:25,100
understanding, there’s no trade
for it, he says, a man who was

697
00:40:25,100 –> 00:40:31,100
eventually caught up in trade.
So what happened to this man of

698
00:40:31,100 –> 00:40:34,200
wisdom and understanding that he
got trapped in the sixth day?

699
00:40:34,200 –> 00:40:37,100
How does wisdom and
understanding get corrupted by

700
00:40:37,100 –> 00:40:41,100
the Beast.
You see the answer is always

701
00:40:41,100 –> 00:40:43,900
consistent.
There’s this age that we live

702
00:40:43,900 –> 00:40:46,900
on, isn’t it in our calling?
We are called to.

703
00:40:46,900 –> 00:40:50,200
We spoke about this yesterday,
we are called to be co-creators.

704
00:40:51,000 –> 00:40:54,700
We are called to multiply and
and to live a life of abundance

705
00:40:54,700 –> 00:40:56,800
that’s our calling.
We’re not called to go up into

706
00:40:56,800 –> 00:41:00,500
some mountain and Oregon and and
put everything we have into a

707
00:41:00,508 –> 00:41:03,100
napkin so that we don’t get to
filed by the world.

708
00:41:04,400 –> 00:41:07,900
And and this is particularly a
particular vulnerability for

709
00:41:07,900 –> 00:41:10,900
leaders as it was in the case of
Solomon.

710
00:41:11,100 –> 00:41:14,900
But in that process of
multiplying, The Edge is that we

711
00:41:14,900 –> 00:41:18,800
lose the cause and the purpose
and surely.

712
00:41:18,800 –> 00:41:20,100
This is what happened to
Solomon.

713
00:41:21,200 –> 00:41:23,400
You’ll remember that there was
written.

714
00:41:24,000 –> 00:41:25,200
Let’s see if that gets any
bigger.

715
00:41:25,700 –> 00:41:27,800
Yes it does.
You remember that there was

716
00:41:27,800 –> 00:41:33,200
written that that law for the
kings that very very clear law

717
00:41:33,300 –> 00:41:39,100
in Deuteronomy. 17:16 and listen
to the language here it said

718
00:41:39,100 –> 00:41:41,800
you’re going to want a king but
here are some laws that their

719
00:41:41,800 –> 00:41:45,900
kid needs to manage his life bar
so that he doesn’t become

720
00:41:45,900 –> 00:41:50,000
someone stuck in day six.
Someone who in multiplying like

721
00:41:50,000 –> 00:41:54,700
he should do he becomes
corrupted Deuteronomy 17 says

722
00:41:54,900 –> 00:41:57,900
but he shall not multiply
horses.

723
00:41:59,100 –> 00:42:00,200
Is that where that sentence
ends?

724
00:42:00,200 –> 00:42:06,400
Who can tell me how it finishes.
For him self, you see it has

725
00:42:06,400 –> 00:42:08,100
since it isn’t the
multiplication.

726
00:42:08,200 –> 00:42:11,100
That’s our calling be fruitful.
And multiply, he shall not

727
00:42:11,100 –> 00:42:14,600
multiply horses for himself, nor
caused the people to return to

728
00:42:14,600 –> 00:42:18,000
Egypt to multiply waters for the
Lord has said, You shall not

729
00:42:18,000 –> 00:42:19,500
return.
That way again.

730
00:42:19,700 –> 00:42:23,600
Neither shall he?
Multiply wives, what does it say

731
00:42:23,600 –> 00:42:27,300
next for himself?
Let’s just how I turn away.

732
00:42:27,400 –> 00:42:30,600
Nor shall he greatly multiply
silver and gold.

733
00:42:31,900 –> 00:42:36,100
For himself.
The name Giver becomes the name

734
00:42:36,100 –> 00:42:40,200
Creator.
It becomes all about him and his

735
00:42:40,200 –> 00:42:44,700
Reliance on God is over and so
you don’t need me to point it

736
00:42:44,700 –> 00:42:46,800
out to you.
In that, very passage that we’ve

737
00:42:46,800 –> 00:42:50,800
been focusing on where he
receives the 666, gold talents,

738
00:42:50,800 –> 00:42:56,200
every year laid out for us in
scripture, he had a chariot that

739
00:42:56,200 –> 00:42:58,400
he bought from Egypt and many
many horses.

740
00:42:58,600 –> 00:43:00,000
That’s the Cherry that cost him
six.

741
00:43:00,000 –> 00:43:01,900
Hundred seconds of silver.
That should have been a bit of

742
00:43:01,908 –> 00:43:03,800
an echo for him.
First of Kings.

743
00:43:03,900 –> 00:43:08,800
The 10 verse 29 and then first 2
Kings 11 verses 1 & 3, King

744
00:43:08,800 –> 00:43:11,900
Solomon, loved many foreign
woman and we know that they had

745
00:43:11,900 –> 00:43:14,900
a great influence in his life.
And then finally in second

746
00:43:14,900 –> 00:43:18,100
Chronicles chapter 9, where
we’ve been reading he gathered

747
00:43:18,100 –> 00:43:23,400
the gold and the silver from all
the nations around him, and in

748
00:43:23,400 –> 00:43:27,400
case we didn’t get all of those
Echoes and encased, the great

749
00:43:27,400 –> 00:43:30,700
Echo from Revelation is not
drawing our attention to the

750
00:43:30,700 –> 00:43:33,100
lessons of Solomon.
Solomon does this?

751
00:43:33,900 –> 00:43:36,200
He spends ages building a
palace, doesn’t he?

752
00:43:36,800 –> 00:43:39,900
And then says I’ll build myself
a throne and he makes that

753
00:43:39,900 –> 00:43:43,700
thrown out of Ivory and we’re
told this and I’m afraid I don’t

754
00:43:43,700 –> 00:43:46,900
have as beautiful a picture, but
I definitely got this on Seurat

755
00:43:46,900 –> 00:43:48,400
straight away when we it’s
clear.

756
00:43:48,400 –> 00:43:50,000
He’s not.
Yeah but Jennifer’s yes.

757
00:43:50,000 –> 00:43:55,100
And we here we have it.
Moreover the king made a great

758
00:43:55,100 –> 00:43:57,400
Throne of Ivory and overlaid it
with pure gold.

759
00:43:57,400 –> 00:44:00,500
The throne had six steps at the
top of the throne was around at

760
00:44:00,500 –> 00:44:02,900
the back.
They were armed rents armrests

761
00:44:02,900 –> 00:44:05,100
on either side.
The place of the seat and two

762
00:44:05,100 –> 00:44:07,200
lines.
Stood Beside the armrests 12

763
00:44:07,200 –> 00:44:08,100
lines.
Stood there.

764
00:44:08,300 –> 00:44:09,900
One on each side of the six
steps.

765
00:44:10,100 –> 00:44:13,700
Nothing like this had been made
for any other Kingdom.

766
00:44:15,000 –> 00:44:17,600
I don’t want to argue in the
detail but it seemed to me and

767
00:44:17,600 –> 00:44:21,200
there’s different views by the
commentators six steps, 12

768
00:44:21,200 –> 00:44:28,400
lines, six lines, six lines, 666
leading to an ivory, throw king

769
00:44:28,400 –> 00:44:32,600
of Sodom.
You see Brothers and sisters.

770
00:44:33,100 –> 00:44:37,000
We can spend a lot of time,
working out some external

771
00:44:37,000 –> 00:44:39,900
identification of the beast, but
there’s the problem.

772
00:44:39,900 –> 00:44:43,400
It’s not even Solomon.
If we haven’t worked that out

773
00:44:43,400 –> 00:44:45,600
right now.
If we haven’t seen that, it is

774
00:44:45,600 –> 00:44:49,400
the spirit, the spirit, that is
so close to home, and really the

775
00:44:49,400 –> 00:44:51,900
metaphor in the image.
That’s been presented to us in

776
00:44:51,900 –> 00:44:54,800
the king of Salem has to say,
yes, you may have identified it

777
00:44:54,800 –> 00:44:57,600
in Goliath and, and and overcome
that.

778
00:44:58,100 –> 00:45:01,900
Yes, you may have identified it
in the attractiveness of of the

779
00:45:01,900 –> 00:45:06,400
idols of the world.
But here it is right in your own

780
00:45:06,400 –> 00:45:09,400
Temple.
Here it is right in your own

781
00:45:09,400 –> 00:45:12,600
heart.
And have you identified it there

782
00:45:13,400 –> 00:45:18,700
and have you worked out how to
overcome the transience of the

783
00:45:18,700 –> 00:45:24,300
6th day?
So here we have, what I believe

784
00:45:24,900 –> 00:45:29,900
are, The Echoes of 666.
Jesus, revealing to us the

785
00:45:29,900 –> 00:45:34,600
different ways in which we may
be trapped in the sixth day

786
00:45:35,000 –> 00:45:40,900
ways, in which we may be trapped
and unable to move into the

787
00:45:40,900 –> 00:45:44,500
seventh day.
It is about trying to overcome

788
00:45:44,500 –> 00:45:47,100
the Giants and a life.
Without the only one who can

789
00:45:47,100 –> 00:45:49,500
defeat the giant, we won’t be
successful.

790
00:45:49,900 –> 00:45:53,200
It’s about resisting the powers
of the image of Babylon by

791
00:45:53,200 –> 00:45:56,600
asking the son of man to join us
in the fiery furnace.

792
00:45:57,000 –> 00:46:01,000
It is about constantly checking
our success, our multiplication,

793
00:46:01,500 –> 00:46:06,600
our god-given multiplication for
