\n00:00:13,840 –> 00:00:15,600
\nWelcome to Good Chris Selfie and
\ntalks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:15,600 –> 00:00:17,320
\nI’m Levi.
\nAnd I’m Chris. <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:17,560 –> 00:00:19,480
\nAnd I’m Brian.
\nThank you for joining us this <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:19,480 –> 00:00:21,960
\nweek.
\nOn this podcast, we select one <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:21,960 –> 00:00:26,200
\ntalk a week to help us get the
\nBible in our Daily News feed. <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:26,520 –> 00:00:28,520
\nWe post a new episode at the
\nstart of each week. <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:28,840 –> 00:00:31,440
\nWith the short intro beforehand
\nto kind of set the stage for. <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:31,440 –> 00:00:32,759
\nThe talk you’re about to listen
\nto. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:33,400 –> 00:00:36,240
\nAnd now, let’s talk more about
\nthis week’s talk. <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:51,160 –> 00:00:53,080
\nHello, welcome back.
\nThis is Brother Chris. <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:54,120 –> 00:00:57,720
\nAs we have mentioned a few
\ntimes, I have been working on <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:57,720 –> 00:01:03,280
\ndigitizing some cassette tapes
\nthat I have been gathering and <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:03,320 –> 00:01:05,760
\nrecently I’ve been going through
\nseveral of them that were <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:05,760 –> 00:01:09,040
\nrecordings of memorial services
\nthat have been given over the <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:09,040 –> 00:01:11,080
\nyears at the Los Angeles
\nEcclesia. <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:11,560 –> 00:01:15,840
\nThis particular exhortation
\ncomes from that kind of store of<\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:15,840 –> 00:01:17,400
\ntapes that I’ve been working
\nthrough. <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:18,400 –> 00:01:21,280
\nThis is an exhortation that was
\ngiven by Brother Dick Patterson <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:21,760 –> 00:01:26,280
\nin December 5th of 1999, so just
\nbefore the turn of the <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:26,280 –> 00:01:28,840
\nmillennia.
\nI mentioned that specifically <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:28,840 –> 00:01:32,280
\nbecause Brother Dick mentions
\nmultiple times in his <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:32,280 –> 00:01:36,280
\nexhortation that they were 26
\ndays away from the start of the <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:36,280 –> 00:01:39,400
\nnew millennia.
\nAnd the focus of his exhortation<\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:39,400 –> 00:01:45,320
\nis the reminder that at the turn
\nof the millennia is the time <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:45,320 –> 00:01:48,680
\nwhen you could be seen the
\nreturn of Christ coming sometime<\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:48,680 –> 00:01:52,320
\nin this millennia, when it
\nstarted at the end of 1999, <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:52,320 –> 00:01:56,200
\ngoing into 2000.
\nFor context, Brother Dick is <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:56,200 –> 00:01:59,120
\nbasing his expectation and
\npulling a lot from Micah Chapter<\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:59,120 –> 00:02:01,000
\n4.
\nSo if you wanna look through <\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:01,000 –> 00:02:04,840
\nthat before listening to the
\nexhort itself, feel free to <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:04,840 –> 00:02:09,520
\npause and and go do that.
\nBut what Brother Dick is pulling<\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:09,520 –> 00:02:13,120
\nfrom and looking at is just a
\nreminder of the importance of <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:13,120 –> 00:02:16,520
\nhaving a vision, an idea of what
\nthe Kingdom is and what it’s <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:16,520 –> 00:02:19,280
\ngoing to be like.
\nSeveral of the things he talks <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:19,280 –> 00:02:22,000
\nabout are his own speculation on
\nwhat the Kingdom could be like. <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:22,000 –> 00:02:24,280
\nBut I find that to be
\ninteresting, ’cause I feel like <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:24,480 –> 00:02:28,800
\none of the beauties of the
\nvision of the Kingdom is we want<\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:28,800 –> 00:02:31,400
\nit to be personal and something
\nthat makes you personally <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:31,400 –> 00:02:33,160
\nexcited about being in the
\nKingdom. <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:33,480 –> 00:02:36,560
\nAnd what is that vision?
\nWhat is that idea of what you <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:36,560 –> 00:02:39,080
\npicture being in the Kingdom
\nbeing in the forefront of your <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:39,080 –> 00:02:44,200
\nmind?
\nSo this was a really interesting<\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:44,200 –> 00:02:46,680
\nand encouraging exhortation.
\nIt was a good reminder. <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:47,360 –> 00:02:52,240
\nIt was a little interesting to
\ngo back 25 years now and here or<\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:52,240 –> 00:02:57,120
\nalmost 25 years and hear what
\nthe thinking was at the turn of <\/p>\n

46
\n00:02:57,120 –> 00:02:59,160
\nthe century.
\nI remember some of that when I <\/p>\n

47
\n00:02:59,160 –> 00:03:03,840
\nwas younger and everything that
\nwas happening at in 1999 and the<\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:03,840 –> 00:03:06,600
\nfear when it came from Y2K and
\nthings that they were talking <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:06,600 –> 00:03:09,080
\nabout and what did or didn’t
\nhappen after the results of <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:09,080 –> 00:03:10,760
\nthat.
\nSo I find going back and <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:10,760 –> 00:03:14,640
\nlistening to these exhortations,
\nespecially from so many years <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:14,640 –> 00:03:18,680
\nago, to be a almost interesting
\ntime capsule of the mindset that<\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:19,160 –> 00:03:23,960
\nsome people in our community had
\nall those years ago and what <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:23,960 –> 00:03:26,960
\nthings are the same now and what
\nthings have changed. <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:28,040 –> 00:03:31,720
\nIt makes it just to be both a
\nenjoyable and enlightening <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:31,720 –> 00:03:33,840
\nexperience.
\nSo I hope you find this <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:33,840 –> 00:03:37,560
\nexhortation to be encouraging
\nand helps you to think about and<\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:37,560 –> 00:03:41,480
\nmeditate on having a vision for
\nyourself as we wait for the <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:41,480 –> 00:03:44,560
\nreturn of our Lord.
\nAnd with that, I will turn this.<\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:44,560 –> 00:03:47,040
\nOver to our brother.
\nDick Patterson, for his <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:47,040 –> 00:03:50,560
\nexhortation, entitled Without a
\nVision, The People perish. <\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:52,480 –> 00:03:56,360
\nYou’ll notice that we read from
\nthe 4th chapter of Micah this <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:56,360 –> 00:03:58,480
\nmorning.
\nOur scheduled reading is the <\/p>\n

64
\n00:03:58,480 –> 00:04:02,320
\nsecond chapter, but I wanted to
\nconsider this 4th chapter <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:02,320 –> 00:04:06,680
\nbecause of the wonderful vision
\nof the Kingdom that it has in <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:06,680 –> 00:04:08,640
\nit.
\nWe’re going to talk about that <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:08,920 –> 00:04:13,000
\nvision today, and we’re going to
\ntalk about what it means to us. <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:13,560 –> 00:04:16,839
\nAnd then you can meditate on it.
\nAnd when you do your readings on<\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:16,839 –> 00:04:21,839
\nTuesday, read it again and see
\nif it doesn’t take on a new <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:21,839 –> 00:04:27,720
\nmeaning for you.
\nSo let’s create a mental picture<\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:27,960 –> 00:04:32,480
\nof that vision as we go through
\nit this morning. <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:33,200 –> 00:04:36,400
\nAnd it is important that we have
\na vision. <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:37,600 –> 00:04:42,560
\nIn the 29th proverb at the 18th
\nverse we are told that where <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:42,560 –> 00:04:45,640
\nthere is no vision, the people
\nperish. <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:47,080 –> 00:04:50,400
\nAnd even in this prophecy of
\nMicah in the third chapter, in <\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:50,400 –> 00:04:54,440
\nthe sixth verse, just the
\nprevious chapter, it says that <\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:54,440 –> 00:04:58,720
\nif the people do not have a
\nvision, it is dark unto them. <\/p>\n

78
\n00:04:59,920 –> 00:05:04,680
\nNow Jesus told us that we are to
\nbe the light of the world. <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:05,960 –> 00:05:13,040
\nIf we are in Christ, certainly
\nwe cannot be in darkness, And so<\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:13,040 –> 00:05:17,320
\nthat we are not in darkness, we
\nmust have a vision. <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:19,360 –> 00:05:23,160
\nA vision was so important to
\nJesus Christ that God took him <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:23,160 –> 00:05:25,960
\nup onto that mount of
\nTransfiguration and let him talk<\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:26,120 –> 00:05:30,400
\nwith Moses and with Elijah.
\nSo that vision would carry him <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:30,400 –> 00:05:35,760
\nthrough those dark days when he
\nwas crucified and had to die <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:36,080 –> 00:05:41,920
\nupon that cross.
\nThat’s how important it is for <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:41,920 –> 00:05:48,960
\nus to have a vision.
\nNow, in 26 days, according to <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:48,960 –> 00:05:53,080
\nour calendar, we’re going to
\nenter into a new Millennium. <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:53,920 –> 00:05:57,400
\nAnd as we read the magazines and
\nas we look at the billboards and<\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:57,400 –> 00:06:00,160
\nas we listen to the radio, we
\nsee many, many different <\/p>\n

90
\n00:06:00,440 –> 00:06:05,360
\nreactions to the new Millennium.
\nBut what should be our reaction <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:06,040 –> 00:06:10,440
\nas Bible students, as brothers
\nand sisters of the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:10,440 –> 00:06:13,440
\nChrist?
\nWell, if we turn to a few <\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:13,440 –> 00:06:17,280
\nScriptures, I can think think we
\nwill see what the Scriptures <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:17,280 –> 00:06:21,320
\ntell us should be our reaction
\nto the new Millennium. <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:23,000 –> 00:06:26,840
\nGoing back to the very first
\nchapter of Genesis, we find that<\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:26,840 –> 00:06:33,040
\nGod created the earth in six
\ndays and on the 7th day he <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:33,040 –> 00:06:36,560
\nrested.
\nNow he didn’t have to rest on <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:36,560 –> 00:06:38,840
\nthe 7th day.
\nHe was the creator of heaven, of<\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:38,840 –> 00:06:45,120
\nthe earth, all powerful, but he
\ndid it to set a pattern. 6 days <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:45,120 –> 00:06:50,440
\nof creation, one day of rest.
\nLooking back in history, we see <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:50,440 –> 00:06:54,640
\nfrom that time of creation up
\nuntil Jesus Christ was roughly <\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:54,640 –> 00:06:59,880
\n4000 years and from Jesus Christ
\nuntil now is 2000 years. <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:59,880 –> 00:07:05,440
\nSo there are 6 periods of 1000
\nyears and we think that this is <\/p>\n

104
\n00:07:05,440 –> 00:07:07,560
\nfollowing the pattern of the
\ncreation. <\/p>\n

105
\n00:07:07,920 –> 00:07:12,680
\nAnd so the next Millennium will
\nbe the time of rest. <\/p>\n

106
\n00:07:12,920 –> 00:07:15,320
\nIt will be introduced into the
\nworld. <\/p>\n

107
\n00:07:15,320 –> 00:07:19,960
\nThe Kingdom will be established.
\nWe don’t know the exact date, <\/p>\n

108
\n00:07:20,400 –> 00:07:23,600
\nbut we feel that it fits the
\npattern. <\/p>\n

109
\n00:07:25,880 –> 00:07:29,200
\nLooking at the parable of the
\nfig tree in the 24th chapter of <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:29,200 –> 00:07:33,640
\nMatthew, we all know that the
\nfig tree is representative of <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:33,640 –> 00:07:37,560
\nthe nation of Israel.
\nAnd that parable tells us that <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:37,560 –> 00:07:43,400
\nthe generation that sees the fig
\ntree putting forth leaves, we’ll<\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:43,400 –> 00:07:52,560
\nsee the return of Jesus.
\nWhat are the leaves? <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:52,560 –> 00:07:56,040
\nWhat What happened with the
\nleaves coming out? <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:56,080 –> 00:07:59,600
\nWas it 1948, the establishment
\nof the nation of Israel? <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:59,880 –> 00:08:06,560
\nWas it 1967 when the nation re
\nobtained Jerusalem entirely as <\/p>\n

117
\n00:08:06,560 –> 00:08:09,080
\ntheir capital?
\nOr was it something else? <\/p>\n

118
\n00:08:09,560 –> 00:08:12,400
\nWhat is a generation?
\n40 years? <\/p>\n

119
\n00:08:12,640 –> 00:08:14,640
\nSome people say we’re living
\nlonger now. <\/p>\n

120
\n00:08:14,640 –> 00:08:17,000
\nMaybe a generation, but it’d be
\n70 years. <\/p>\n

121
\n00:08:18,080 –> 00:08:21,720
\nMaybe it’s something else.
\nBut within all of these <\/p>\n

122
\n00:08:21,720 –> 00:08:26,600
\nunknowns, there is still a
\nfairly small time period which <\/p>\n

123
\n00:08:26,600 –> 00:08:31,480
\ncan lead us to the conclusion
\nthat the time of Jesus return is<\/p>\n

124
\n00:08:31,480 –> 00:08:36,080
\nvery near.
\nNow we can say this with <\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:36,080 –> 00:08:41,919
\nconfidence because over the
\ngenerations and over the years <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:42,679 –> 00:08:45,880
\nit seems like every generation
\nof people looked for the return <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:45,880 –> 00:08:51,560
\nof Christ in their lifetime.
\nBut never has any other <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:51,560 –> 00:08:55,040
\ngeneration seen the re
\nestablishment of the nation of <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:55,040 –> 00:09:00,360
\nIsrael have seen the fulfilment
\nof this particular prophecy. <\/p>\n

130
\n00:09:01,560 –> 00:09:07,600
\nSo I think that it gives us
\nconfidence that we are entering <\/p>\n

131
\n00:09:07,600 –> 00:09:12,120
\ninto the next Millennium and
\nJesus Christ will return to <\/p>\n

132
\n00:09:12,120 –> 00:09:16,360
\nestablish His Kingdom during the
\nnext Millennium. <\/p>\n

133
\n00:09:17,760 –> 00:09:20,360
\nWith that kind of confidence of
\nthe establishment of the <\/p>\n

134
\n00:09:20,360 –> 00:09:24,600
\nKingdom, it’s certainly
\nimportant that we have a clear <\/p>\n

135
\n00:09:24,840 –> 00:09:30,000
\npicture and that we have a clear
\nvision of what it will be like. <\/p>\n

136
\n00:09:31,240 –> 00:09:34,840
\nSo let’s turn back to this
\nfourth chapter of Micah, and <\/p>\n

137
\n00:09:34,840 –> 00:09:36,480
\nwe’ll read the first verse
\nagain. <\/p>\n

138
\n00:09:37,520 –> 00:09:41,680
\nBut in the last days it shall
\ncome to pass that the mountain <\/p>\n

139
\n00:09:41,680 –> 00:09:44,520
\nof the House of the Lord shall
\nbe established in the top of the<\/p>\n

140
\n00:09:44,520 –> 00:09:48,840
\nmountains, and it shall be
\nexalted above the hills, and <\/p>\n

141
\n00:09:48,840 –> 00:09:53,000
\npeople shall flow unto it.
\nAnd I’d like to read to you that<\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:53,040 –> 00:09:58,480
\nfor you the same verse from the
\nNIV in the last days, the <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:58,480 –> 00:10:02,720
\nmountain of the Lord’s temple
\nwill be established as chief <\/p>\n

144
\n00:10:03,040 –> 00:10:06,000
\namong the mountains.
\nIt will be raised above the <\/p>\n

145
\n00:10:06,000 –> 00:10:09,880
\nhills, and people will stream to
\nit. <\/p>\n

146
\n00:10:11,800 –> 00:10:18,280
\nThat brings to my mind a verse
\nin Daniel in the second chapter <\/p>\n

147
\n00:10:18,280 –> 00:10:21,880
\nand the 35th verse, where we
\nalso read of a mountain. <\/p>\n

148
\n00:10:23,120 –> 00:10:27,160
\nAnd Speaking of the image, it
\nsays, Then was the iron, the <\/p>\n

149
\n00:10:27,160 –> 00:10:30,400
\nclay, the brass, the silver and
\nthe gold broken to pieces <\/p>\n

150
\n00:10:30,400 –> 00:10:34,120
\ntogether and became like the
\nchaff of the summer thrashing <\/p>\n

151
\n00:10:34,120 –> 00:10:37,640
\nfloors, and the wind carried
\nthem away, that no place was <\/p>\n

152
\n00:10:37,640 –> 00:10:41,000
\nfound for them.
\nAnd the stone that smote the <\/p>\n

153
\n00:10:41,000 –> 00:10:46,440
\nimage became a great mountain
\nand filled the earth. <\/p>\n

154
\n00:10:47,840 –> 00:10:49,920
\nSo what do we have in this
\nfigurative language? <\/p>\n

155
\n00:10:49,920 –> 00:10:53,160
\nWe have a mountain that fills
\nthe earth, and there is the <\/p>\n

156
\n00:10:53,160 –> 00:10:56,520
\nLord’s house up on the top of
\nthis mountain, and it is above <\/p>\n

157
\n00:10:56,520 –> 00:11:01,960
\nall of the other hills around.
\nWhat do we feel is the literal <\/p>\n

158
\n00:11:01,960 –> 00:11:06,280
\ninterpretation of that
\nparticular vision, that <\/p>\n

159
\n00:11:07,280 –> 00:11:13,560
\nJerusalem will be established as
\nthe center of a world empire? <\/p>\n

160
\n00:11:14,080 –> 00:11:17,400
\nIt won’t be Washington, DC, and
\nit won’t be London, or it won’t <\/p>\n

161
\n00:11:17,400 –> 00:11:21,880
\nbe Moscow, or it won’t be Tokyo.
\nIt will be Jerusalem. <\/p>\n

162
\n00:11:23,880 –> 00:11:27,160
\nI have a world Atlas at home.
\nAnd when I open up that world <\/p>\n

163
\n00:11:27,160 –> 00:11:30,320
\nAtlas and look at the first
\npage, it’s a picture of the <\/p>\n

164
\n00:11:30,320 –> 00:11:33,640
\nworld.
\nAnd the United North America is <\/p>\n

165
\n00:11:33,640 –> 00:11:36,720
\nover here and South America and
\nover here is Asia, and right in <\/p>\n

166
\n00:11:36,720 –> 00:11:40,880
\nthe middle is Jerusalem.
\nAnd I would imagine if you <\/p>\n

167
\n00:11:40,880 –> 00:11:43,560
\nlooked at any Atlas of the
\nworld, you will see the same <\/p>\n

168
\n00:11:43,560 –> 00:11:47,000
\nthing.
\nJerusalem is this picture as a <\/p>\n

169
\n00:11:47,000 –> 00:11:50,920
\ncenter of the world, and I don’t
\nthink that’s any accident. <\/p>\n

170
\n00:11:51,200 –> 00:11:55,440
\nI think God selected it and
\nplanned it that way to be at the<\/p>\n

171
\n00:11:55,440 –> 00:12:01,080
\ncrossroads of the world.
\nAnd you know, Jerusalem is, it’s<\/p>\n

172
\n00:12:01,080 –> 00:12:04,680
\nin an elevated position.
\nIt’s on that Ridge of mountains <\/p>\n

173
\n00:12:04,680 –> 00:12:08,160
\nthat runs North and South
\nthrough Israel. <\/p>\n

174
\n00:12:08,480 –> 00:12:11,880
\nAnd you go to the West and it
\nfalls off all the way to the sea<\/p>\n

175
\n00:12:11,880 –> 00:12:15,040
\nlevel on the West side of the
\nMediterranean. <\/p>\n

176
\n00:12:15,400 –> 00:12:17,920
\nAnd you go over the Mount of
\nOlives to the east and it falls <\/p>\n

177
\n00:12:17,920 –> 00:12:20,640
\ndown into the Jordan Valley
\nbelow sea level. <\/p>\n

178
\n00:12:21,360 –> 00:12:25,480
\nSo it is in an elevated position
\nright now. <\/p>\n

179
\n00:12:26,480 –> 00:12:31,080
\nAnd I believe that that is
\nunique of any capital, of any <\/p>\n

180
\n00:12:31,080 –> 00:12:35,080
\ncountry in the world and being
\nin that elevated position. <\/p>\n

181
\n00:12:37,160 –> 00:12:40,040
\nAnd then we’re told that people
\nwill flow unto it. <\/p>\n

182
\n00:12:41,280 –> 00:12:44,680
\nWe’re told in Zechariah that
\nthere will be a great earthquake<\/p>\n

183
\n00:12:44,680 –> 00:12:47,360
\nat that time.
\nAnd the Mount of Olives that is <\/p>\n

184
\n00:12:47,360 –> 00:12:50,360
\nto the east of Jerusalem, and it
\nis somewhat higher than <\/p>\n

185
\n00:12:50,360 –> 00:12:54,080
\nJerusalem, will break in
\ntwo-part of it will move to the <\/p>\n

186
\n00:12:54,080 –> 00:12:57,760
\nnorth and part to the South.
\nSo in that day, as you look out <\/p>\n

187
\n00:12:57,760 –> 00:13:01,680
\nfrom Jerusalem, you’ll look down
\ninto a valley that will go right<\/p>\n

188
\n00:13:01,680 –> 00:13:05,200
\ndown into the Jordan Valley to
\nthe east. <\/p>\n

189
\n00:13:06,760 –> 00:13:09,520
\nWe’re also told that the Dead
\nSea will be healed. <\/p>\n

190
\n00:13:10,520 –> 00:13:13,560
\nHow will it be healed?
\nWell, I think that there will be<\/p>\n

191
\n00:13:13,560 –> 00:13:18,360
\nenough water that it will be
\nfilled to be a great inland lake<\/p>\n

192
\n00:13:18,360 –> 00:13:23,040
\nand so that it can finally flow
\nout to the ocean in the Red Sea <\/p>\n

193
\n00:13:23,040 –> 00:13:29,880
\nabout 150 miles to the South.
\nAnd so in this way you have the <\/p>\n

194
\n00:13:29,920 –> 00:13:33,840
\nMediterranean Sea on one side
\nand this great freshwater inland<\/p>\n

195
\n00:13:33,840 –> 00:13:37,800
\nsea on the other side.
\nAnd so there would be easy <\/p>\n

196
\n00:13:37,800 –> 00:13:43,480
\naccess to this new world.
\nCapital ships could come in on <\/p>\n

197
\n00:13:43,480 –> 00:13:46,120
\neach side and have access to the
\ncapital. <\/p>\n

198
\n00:13:46,280 –> 00:13:48,840
\nAnd of course, there there are
\nthe Airways. <\/p>\n

199
\n00:13:51,080 –> 00:13:52,720
\nLet’s go on and look at verse
\ntwo. <\/p>\n

200
\n00:13:53,680 –> 00:13:56,600
\nMany nations shall come and say,
\ncome and let us go up to the <\/p>\n

201
\n00:13:56,600 –> 00:13:59,800
\nmountain of the the Lord into
\nthe House of the God of Jacob. <\/p>\n

202
\n00:13:59,800 –> 00:14:02,280
\nAnd he will teach us of his
\nways, and we will walk in his <\/p>\n

203
\n00:14:02,280 –> 00:14:04,800
\npaths.
\nFor the law shall go forth of <\/p>\n

204
\n00:14:04,800 –> 00:14:07,960
\nZion in the word of the Lord
\nfrom Jerusalem. <\/p>\n

205
\n00:14:09,280 –> 00:14:14,960
\nThe law shall go forth of Zion.
\nJerusalem will become the center<\/p>\n

206
\n00:14:14,960 –> 00:14:19,160
\nof a world government, a
\ngovernment that is moral, <\/p>\n

207
\n00:14:20,120 –> 00:14:25,320
\nrighteous, and has laws that are
\nthe best for everyone that are <\/p>\n

208
\n00:14:25,320 –> 00:14:28,720
\nin the world.
\nJesus will be the Divine Ruler, <\/p>\n

209
\n00:14:29,920 –> 00:14:34,360
\nand that law will go forth from
\nZion and radiate throughout all <\/p>\n

210
\n00:14:34,360 –> 00:14:37,400
\nthe earth.
\nAnd that law will be <\/p>\n

211
\n00:14:37,400 –> 00:14:42,560
\nadministered by representatives
\nof Christ in every city on the <\/p>\n

212
\n00:14:42,560 –> 00:14:45,600
\nearth.
\nThese are ones that have been <\/p>\n

213
\n00:14:45,600 –> 00:14:48,960
\nselected for these positions
\nfrom those that have come <\/p>\n

214
\n00:14:48,960 –> 00:14:51,880
\nthrough the judgement have been
\ntermed righteous. <\/p>\n

215
\n00:14:51,880 –> 00:14:57,560
\nAt that time there will be laws
\nthat will be right for every <\/p>\n

216
\n00:14:57,560 –> 00:15:00,960
\nnation and every people.
\nThey will be fair. <\/p>\n

217
\n00:15:01,720 –> 00:15:05,760
\nThey will be firmly enforced.
\nThere will be no corruption. <\/p>\n

218
\n00:15:06,680 –> 00:15:11,000
\nThere will be no lobbies, there
\nwill be no special interests, <\/p>\n

219
\n00:15:11,480 –> 00:15:15,040
\nbut it will be a government that
\nwill be best for everyone. <\/p>\n

220
\n00:15:19,280 –> 00:15:21,560
\nWe just read.
\nIt says, Come, let us go up to <\/p>\n

221
\n00:15:21,560 –> 00:15:24,680
\nthe mountain of the House of the
\nLord and to the House of the God<\/p>\n

222
\n00:15:24,680 –> 00:15:27,360
\nof Jacob.
\nAnd he will teach us of his ways<\/p>\n

223
\n00:15:27,640 –> 00:15:34,960
\nand we will walk in his paths.
\nAnd so emanating from Jerusalem <\/p>\n

224
\n00:15:34,960 –> 00:15:40,720
\nwill be one world religion.
\nThere will be no PLO, which <\/p>\n

225
\n00:15:40,720 –> 00:15:44,160
\nclaims that Jerusalem is the
\ncapital of their state. <\/p>\n

226
\n00:15:45,000 –> 00:15:49,520
\nThere will be no Islamic mosque
\nin the middle of Jerusalem with <\/p>\n

227
\n00:15:49,520 –> 00:15:52,840
\na gold Dome.
\nThere will be no bulletins <\/p>\n

228
\n00:15:52,840 –> 00:15:55,640
\ncoming out of Rome issued by the
\nPope. <\/p>\n

229
\n00:15:56,160 –> 00:15:59,880
\nThere will be no conflicting
\nmessages from various churches <\/p>\n

230
\n00:15:59,880 –> 00:16:03,760
\nthroughout the earth.
\nThere will be no TV evangelists <\/p>\n

231
\n00:16:03,960 –> 00:16:06,560
\nputting forth their message so
\nthat they can get rich. <\/p>\n

232
\n00:16:07,560 –> 00:16:11,600
\nThe temple of the Lord in
\nJerusalem, the House of God, <\/p>\n

233
\n00:16:11,760 –> 00:16:15,160
\nwill be the source of the Word
\nof the Lord, which will go <\/p>\n

234
\n00:16:15,440 –> 00:16:19,000
\nthroughout the earth.
\nThe word will come directly from<\/p>\n

235
\n00:16:19,000 –> 00:16:23,200
\nGod’s Son, and there will be no
\nhuman interpretation. <\/p>\n

236
\n00:16:24,640 –> 00:16:27,640
\nAnd that word will be
\nadministered in these same <\/p>\n

237
\n00:16:27,720 –> 00:16:32,880
\ncities, probably by
\nrepresentatives different than <\/p>\n

238
\n00:16:33,000 –> 00:16:36,760
\nthe ones that are governing.
\nAnd so you will have those <\/p>\n

239
\n00:16:36,760 –> 00:16:39,640
\ngoverning the cities, and you
\nwill have those administering <\/p>\n

240
\n00:16:39,640 –> 00:16:41,960
\nthe religion and they will be
\nworking hand in hand, and you <\/p>\n

241
\n00:16:41,960 –> 00:16:45,360
\nwill have a perfect marriage of
\nchurch and state. <\/p>\n

242
\n00:16:45,360 –> 00:16:49,280
\nAnd isn’t that exactly what we
\nsaw in the time of David? <\/p>\n

243
\n00:16:49,600 –> 00:16:52,920
\nDavid was the king and he had
\nthose that were ruling over the <\/p>\n

244
\n00:16:52,920 –> 00:16:56,280
\ncities and he had the Levites
\nthat were administering God’s <\/p>\n

245
\n00:16:56,280 –> 00:16:59,600
\nword in those cities.
\nAnd in ancient Israel there was <\/p>\n

246
\n00:16:59,600 –> 00:17:03,200
\na a picture of the coming
\nKingdom when there was a perfect<\/p>\n

247
\n00:17:03,200 –> 00:17:12,040
\nmarriage, church and state.
\nAnd so you will have worldwide <\/p>\n

248
\n00:17:12,040 –> 00:17:14,640
\nteaching emanating from
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n

249
\n00:17:15,079 –> 00:17:18,640
\nPeople will learn the ways of
\nGod, and they will want to walk <\/p>\n

250
\n00:17:19,000 –> 00:17:23,920
\nin His path.
\nAnd then it says, many nations <\/p>\n

251
\n00:17:23,920 –> 00:17:27,960
\nshall come.
\nLet’s turn over to the 14th <\/p>\n

252
\n00:17:27,960 –> 00:17:31,280
\nchapter of Zechariah.
\nAnd we have some other words <\/p>\n

253
\n00:17:31,280 –> 00:17:36,160
\nthat are similar to this
\nZechariah 14 and 16. <\/p>\n

254
\n00:17:36,160 –> 00:17:39,640
\nAnd it shall come to pass that
\neveryone that is left of all the<\/p>\n

255
\n00:17:39,640 –> 00:17:44,400
\nnations which came against
\nJerusalem shall even go up to <\/p>\n

256
\n00:17:44,640 –> 00:17:49,200
\nfrom year to year to worship the
\nking, the Lord of Hosts, and to <\/p>\n

257
\n00:17:49,200 –> 00:17:57,040
\nkeep the feast of Tabernacles.
\nIn ancient Israel the feast of <\/p>\n

258
\n00:17:57,040 –> 00:18:00,800
\nthe Tabernacles was in the fall,
\nwhen there was the in gathering <\/p>\n

259
\n00:18:00,800 –> 00:18:05,920
\nof all of the crops.
\nI think it was a looking forward<\/p>\n

260
\n00:18:05,920 –> 00:18:08,320
\nto the establishment of the
\nKingdom when there would be the <\/p>\n

261
\n00:18:08,320 –> 00:18:11,560
\nin gathering of all of the
\nrighteous people. <\/p>\n

262
\n00:18:13,080 –> 00:18:18,560
\nAnd so the Millennium will be
\nthe time when the Kingdom will <\/p>\n

263
\n00:18:18,560 –> 00:18:24,600
\nbe here and they can celebrate
\nthe existence of of the fact <\/p>\n

264
\n00:18:24,600 –> 00:18:28,640
\nthat the Kingdom is here and
\nthey can do it all year round. <\/p>\n

265
\n00:18:29,360 –> 00:18:35,760
\nAnd so when we read in Zechariah
\nthat those from the nations will<\/p>\n

266
\n00:18:35,760 –> 00:18:39,080
\ncome up from year to year to
\nworship to celebrate the Feast <\/p>\n

267
\n00:18:39,080 –> 00:18:44,440
\nof Tabernacles, I believe I can
\npicture a continual pilgrimage <\/p>\n

268
\n00:18:44,960 –> 00:18:49,520
\nto Jerusalem.
\nRepresentatives of various <\/p>\n

269
\n00:18:49,520 –> 00:18:54,960
\nnations coming at times
\nthroughout the year to give <\/p>\n

270
\n00:18:54,960 –> 00:18:58,440
\ntribute to the new religious
\nleader, to acknowledge the <\/p>\n

271
\n00:18:58,440 –> 00:19:04,000
\nworldwide Kingdom, and to
\ncontinuously celebrate the fact <\/p>\n

272
\n00:19:04,000 –> 00:19:06,800
\nthat the Feast of Tabernacles is
\nhere. <\/p>\n

273
\n00:19:07,080 –> 00:19:12,000
\nThe Kingdom is here.
\nThe establishment of God’s plan <\/p>\n

274
\n00:19:12,000 –> 00:19:16,840
\nfor the earth has taken place,
\nand so I think we can see then a<\/p>\n

275
\n00:19:17,200 –> 00:19:22,440
\na continuous year round
\ncelebration of the Feast of the <\/p>\n

276
\n00:19:22,440 –> 00:19:26,440
\nTabernacles.
\nLet’s go on to verse three in <\/p>\n

277
\n00:19:26,440 –> 00:19:30,800
\nMicah, and he shall judge among
\nmany people and rebuke strong <\/p>\n

278
\n00:19:30,800 –> 00:19:33,400
\nnations afar off, and they shall
\nbeat their swords into <\/p>\n

279
\n00:19:33,400 –> 00:19:36,400
\nploughshares and their Spears
\ninto pruning hooks. <\/p>\n

280
\n00:19:36,680 –> 00:19:39,880
\nNations shall not lift up a
\nsword against nation, neither <\/p>\n

281
\n00:19:39,880 –> 00:19:46,680
\nshall they learn war anymore.
\nHe will rebuke strong nations. <\/p>\n

282
\n00:19:47,720 –> 00:19:51,080
\nWhen Christ is established as
\nthe world ruler, He will have <\/p>\n

283
\n00:19:51,080 –> 00:19:55,000
\ndestroyed that host that came
\ndown into Israel from the north,<\/p>\n

284
\n00:19:55,240 –> 00:19:57,560
\nand he will have established
\nhimself as king. <\/p>\n

285
\n00:19:58,880 –> 00:20:01,960
\nNow there will be some nations
\nthat will accept him, but that <\/p>\n

286
\n00:20:01,960 –> 00:20:05,360
\nthere will be others that will
\nrebel against him, and so it <\/p>\n

287
\n00:20:05,360 –> 00:20:10,080
\nwill be necessary for himself to
\nforcibly establish this new <\/p>\n

288
\n00:20:10,280 –> 00:20:14,240
\ngovernment.
\nAnd he will have with him the <\/p>\n

289
\n00:20:14,280 –> 00:20:21,560
\nirresistible force of the forces
\nof nature, and nothing that <\/p>\n

290
\n00:20:21,560 –> 00:20:26,320
\nmankind can produce in the way
\nof armament and compare to the <\/p>\n

291
\n00:20:26,320 –> 00:20:34,520
\nforces of nature.
\nAnd so this world government <\/p>\n

292
\n00:20:34,640 –> 00:20:39,800
\nwill have been established
\nbecause of the rebuke of strong <\/p>\n

293
\n00:20:39,800 –> 00:20:42,200
\nnations.
\nAnd as we said, there will be <\/p>\n

294
\n00:20:42,200 –> 00:20:46,040
\nrepresentatives of this
\ngovernment in all of the cities.<\/p>\n

295
\n00:20:49,280 –> 00:20:52,920
\nIn the second part of the verse,
\nit talks about true World Peace,<\/p>\n

296
\n00:20:53,880 –> 00:20:59,360
\na kind of peace that man just
\ncannot establish by himself. <\/p>\n

297
\n00:20:59,720 –> 00:21:05,040
\nIt requires divine power to do
\nit when they beat their swords <\/p>\n

298
\n00:21:05,280 –> 00:21:09,840
\ninto Spears and their swords.
\nLet’s go back and get the right <\/p>\n

299
\n00:21:09,840 –> 00:21:12,760
\none.
\nStorage into ploughshares and <\/p>\n

300
\n00:21:12,760 –> 00:21:17,600
\ntheir Spears into pruning hooks.
\nWe can see that the billions of <\/p>\n

301
\n00:21:17,600 –> 00:21:22,360
\ndollars that are being spent now
\nfor the Army, the Navy, the Air <\/p>\n

302
\n00:21:22,360 –> 00:21:27,600
\nForce, the nuclear weapons, all
\nof this money will now be <\/p>\n

303
\n00:21:27,600 –> 00:21:31,440
\navailable for the good of the
\npeople on the Earth. <\/p>\n

304
\n00:21:32,080 –> 00:21:35,720
\nAnd it will be put in the place
\nwhere it is most needed, and it <\/p>\n

305
\n00:21:35,720 –> 00:21:38,880
\nwill make sure that it gets to
\nthe people that need it, and it <\/p>\n

306
\n00:21:38,880 –> 00:21:42,960
\nisn’t siphoned off through
\ncorruption and other kinds of <\/p>\n

307
\n00:21:42,960 –> 00:21:45,960
\ngovernment.
\nAnd the differences that exist <\/p>\n

308
\n00:21:45,960 –> 00:21:49,600
\nbetween nations will be settled
\nbecause of a fair and a <\/p>\n

309
\n00:21:49,600 –> 00:21:54,960
\nrighteous administration.
\nAnd we go on to verse 4. <\/p>\n

310
\n00:21:55,560 –> 00:21:58,600
\nBut they shall sit every man
\nunder his vine and under his fig<\/p>\n

311
\n00:21:58,600 –> 00:22:02,320
\ntree, and none shall make them
\nafraid, for the mouth of the <\/p>\n

312
\n00:22:02,320 –> 00:22:09,360
\nLord of Hosts has spoken it.
\nYou know how you discover little<\/p>\n

313
\n00:22:09,360 –> 00:22:12,120
\ngems in the Bible and it sort of
\nlights up. <\/p>\n

314
\n00:22:12,120 –> 00:22:17,800
\nWhile I found one first kings
\n4th chapter and a 25th verse, I <\/p>\n

315
\n00:22:17,800 –> 00:22:20,760
\ndidn’t realize this one was
\nhere, but it talks about the <\/p>\n

316
\n00:22:20,760 –> 00:22:25,000
\nsame thing.
\nAnd this is in the time of <\/p>\n

317
\n00:22:25,200 –> 00:22:27,880
\nSolomon’s reign.
\nAnd it says Judah and Israel <\/p>\n

318
\n00:22:27,880 –> 00:22:32,920
\ndwelt safely every man under his
\nvine and under his fig tree from<\/p>\n

319
\n00:22:32,920 –> 00:22:37,040
\nDan even to Beersheba, all the
\ndays of Solomon. <\/p>\n

320
\n00:22:38,720 –> 00:22:41,840
\nWhy did they exist under their
\nvine and their fig tree during <\/p>\n

321
\n00:22:41,840 –> 00:22:44,640
\nthe days of Solomon?
\nBecause there was no war. <\/p>\n

322
\n00:22:44,640 –> 00:22:48,840
\nIt was a time of peace.
\nNow many have taken this verse <\/p>\n

323
\n00:22:48,840 –> 00:22:51,480
\nin Micah and said, well, that
\nindicates that we’re going to <\/p>\n

324
\n00:22:51,480 –> 00:22:54,280
\nhave an all agricultural
\neconomy. <\/p>\n

325
\n00:22:55,600 –> 00:22:59,360
\nBut it applied to Solomon’s time
\nand it wasn’t an all <\/p>\n

326
\n00:22:59,360 –> 00:23:02,480
\nagricultural economy.
\nThey used the technology they <\/p>\n

327
\n00:23:02,480 –> 00:23:06,320
\nhad available, but they did
\ntrading and they had ships going<\/p>\n

328
\n00:23:06,320 –> 00:23:09,400
\nto various parts of the world,
\nand they had commerce and they <\/p>\n

329
\n00:23:09,400 –> 00:23:13,520
\nhad agricultural also, but they
\nhad a society that was working <\/p>\n

330
\n00:23:13,520 –> 00:23:17,320
\nfor the good of the people, and
\nthey were not afraid because <\/p>\n

331
\n00:23:17,320 –> 00:23:21,120
\nthere was no war.
\nI’d like to turn to the third <\/p>\n

332
\n00:23:21,120 –> 00:23:25,960
\nchapter of.
\nAnd so I believe that in our <\/p>\n

333
\n00:23:25,960 –> 00:23:31,680
\ntime that this is describing a
\ntime of of peace, that man can <\/p>\n

334
\n00:23:31,680 –> 00:23:33,840
\nsit under his vine and under his
\nfig tree. <\/p>\n

335
\n00:23:34,320 –> 00:23:41,280
\nAnd in our time we will have the
\ntechnology being used as it can <\/p>\n

336
\n00:23:41,320 –> 00:23:45,200
\nin the world.
\nBut men can dwell peaceably <\/p>\n

337
\n00:23:45,200 –> 00:23:47,800
\namong each other.
\nAnd I think this is borne out in<\/p>\n

338
\n00:23:47,800 –> 00:23:51,880
\nthe third chapter of Zechariah,
\nin the 10th verse, where it says<\/p>\n

339
\n00:23:51,880 –> 00:23:54,440
\nin that day.
\nI think it’s talking about the <\/p>\n

340
\n00:23:54,440 –> 00:23:56,640
\nday of the Kingdom, saith the
\nLord of hosts. <\/p>\n

341
\n00:23:57,000 –> 00:24:01,400
\nShall you call every man his
\nneighbor under the vine and <\/p>\n

342
\n00:24:01,400 –> 00:24:09,160
\nunder the fig tree, So at that
\ntime then everyone can call <\/p>\n

343
\n00:24:09,280 –> 00:24:12,880
\neveryone else its neighbor.
\nAnd so under this new world <\/p>\n

344
\n00:24:12,880 –> 00:24:17,240
\nadministration, the PLO
\nterrorists will be eliminated. <\/p>\n

345
\n00:24:17,480 –> 00:24:21,320
\nThe Jewish Arab fighting among
\neach other will be eliminated. <\/p>\n

346
\n00:24:21,680 –> 00:24:25,440
\nThe bloodbath between the Serbs
\nand the Croats will be <\/p>\n

347
\n00:24:25,600 –> 00:24:30,200
\neliminated under a firm fair
\ngovernment where everyone is <\/p>\n

348
\n00:24:30,200 –> 00:24:35,240
\ntreated equally and none shall
\nmake them afraid. <\/p>\n

349
\n00:24:38,120 –> 00:24:42,600
\nLooking at verse 5 going back to
\nMicah says all people will walk <\/p>\n

350
\n00:24:42,600 –> 00:24:45,400
\neveryone in the name of his God
\nand we will walk in the name of <\/p>\n

351
\n00:24:45,400 –> 00:24:47,600
\nthe Lord our God forever and
\never. <\/p>\n

352
\n00:24:48,600 –> 00:24:53,640
\nI believe the sense of that
\nverse is that somewhat like this<\/p>\n

353
\n00:24:53,640 –> 00:24:58,320
\nthough now all people walk
\neveryone in the name of his God,<\/p>\n

354
\n00:24:58,640 –> 00:25:04,600
\nyet in the future we will walk
\nin the name of the Lord, one <\/p>\n

355
\n00:25:04,600 –> 00:25:12,920
\nreligion, one God acknowledged
\nthroughout the earth, brothers <\/p>\n

356
\n00:25:12,920 –> 00:25:17,240
\nand sisters and young people.
\nThere is the vision and we must <\/p>\n

357
\n00:25:17,240 –> 00:25:19,960
\nkeep it brightly before
\nourselves. <\/p>\n

358
\n00:25:21,160 –> 00:25:24,080
\nBut we must ask ourselves, how
\nwill each one of us fit into <\/p>\n

359
\n00:25:24,080 –> 00:25:28,320
\nthat vision?
\nWell, first, we can enjoy the <\/p>\n

360
\n00:25:28,320 –> 00:25:33,120
\nbenefits of the improved
\nconditions on the earth and and <\/p>\n

361
\n00:25:33,120 –> 00:25:36,840
\nwe in the United States, I don’t
\nthink, realize how important <\/p>\n

362
\n00:25:36,840 –> 00:25:39,760
\nthis is.
\nBut those who have come from the<\/p>\n

363
\n00:25:39,760 –> 00:25:43,760
\nstrife in El Salvador and those
\nwho are experiencing the strife <\/p>\n

364
\n00:25:44,040 –> 00:25:47,480
\nin the Balkans, the brothers and
\nsisters at the present time can <\/p>\n

365
\n00:25:47,480 –> 00:25:50,480
\nsee the strife and the hatred
\nand the suffering that’s going <\/p>\n

366
\n00:25:50,480 –> 00:25:53,600
\non in the world.
\nAnd that will all be eliminated <\/p>\n

367
\n00:25:53,920 –> 00:25:58,440
\nin this new order of things.
\nAnd that’s one way that all can <\/p>\n

368
\n00:25:58,440 –> 00:26:02,480
\nfit into that wonderful things
\nthat are planned for this earth.<\/p>\n

369
\n00:26:04,080 –> 00:26:08,880
\nWe can, each one become an
\nintegral part of what’s going on<\/p>\n

370
\n00:26:08,880 –> 00:26:12,040
\nin the earth.
\nEach one, in accordance with <\/p>\n

371
\n00:26:12,040 –> 00:26:14,280
\ntheir abilities will be assigned
\na part. <\/p>\n

372
\n00:26:14,600 –> 00:26:17,800
\nAnd there will be many, many
\nresponsibilities in this new <\/p>\n

373
\n00:26:17,800 –> 00:26:20,960
\norder of things in this vision
\nthat we see from that 4th <\/p>\n

374
\n00:26:20,960 –> 00:26:24,680
\nchapter of Matthew, Micah.
\nAnd each one of us will have a <\/p>\n

375
\n00:26:24,680 –> 00:26:27,680
\nplace there in a very important
\nplace. <\/p>\n

376
\n00:26:28,800 –> 00:26:31,760
\nOne of the important things is
\nto spread the word, because <\/p>\n

377
\n00:26:31,760 –> 00:26:34,880
\nthere will be many in the earth
\nwho need to learn about the God <\/p>\n

378
\n00:26:34,880 –> 00:26:37,680
\nof Jacob and to walk in his
\npaths. <\/p>\n

379
\n00:26:38,240 –> 00:26:43,240
\nAnd we can all do that.
\nWe will not be hindered by the <\/p>\n

380
\n00:26:43,240 –> 00:26:47,080
\nfrailty of mortality.
\nWe can spread the word in that <\/p>\n

381
\n00:26:47,080 –> 00:26:51,200
\nday to the our friends, our
\nneighbors, and to the nations of<\/p>\n

382
\n00:26:51,200 –> 00:26:53,560
\nthe earth.
\nAnd there won’t be any problems <\/p>\n

383
\n00:26:53,560 –> 00:26:56,720
\nwhere someone can say I don’t
\nhave the ability or I don’t have<\/p>\n

384
\n00:26:56,720 –> 00:27:00,320
\nthe confidence or I don’t have
\nthe memory to remember things or<\/p>\n

385
\n00:27:00,320 –> 00:27:03,440
\nI have a speech impediment.
\nAll of those things were gone. <\/p>\n

386
\n00:27:03,720 –> 00:27:08,160
\nWe all all have the ability to
\npreach the Word to everyone on <\/p>\n

387
\n00:27:08,160 –> 00:27:12,560
\nthe earth so that the gospel
\nwill go forth to all the world <\/p>\n

388
\n00:27:13,560 –> 00:27:17,480
\nand go into the world and preach
\nthe gospel as it has never been <\/p>\n

389
\n00:27:17,480 –> 00:27:27,000
\ndone before.
\nSo in conclusion, we have 26 <\/p>\n

390
\n00:27:27,000 –> 00:27:31,200
\ndays before us before, according
\nto the calendar, we have a new <\/p>\n

391
\n00:27:31,600 –> 00:27:36,680
\nMillennium.
\nDuring that Millennium, the <\/p>\n

392
\n00:27:36,680 –> 00:27:39,680
\nvision that we have obtained
\nfrom the 4th chapter of Micah <\/p>\n

393
\n00:27:39,680 –> 00:27:43,080
\nthat we have created in our
\nminds this morning, we believe <\/p>\n

394
\n00:27:43,360 –> 00:27:48,640
\nwill take place.
\nWe pray that each one of us will<\/p>\n

395
\n00:27:48,640 –> 00:27:50,760
\nbe there.
\nWe pray that it will happen <\/p>\n

396
\n00:27:50,760 –> 00:27:54,760
\nduring our lifetime, and if it
\ndoesn’t, we know that we will be<\/p>\n

397
\n00:27:54,760 –> 00:27:57,000
\nresurrected to enjoy the
\nbenefits. <\/p>\n

398
\n00:27:58,640 –> 00:28:00,480
\nKeep the vision brightly before

399

400
\n00:28:05,720 –> 00:28:10,520
\nIt will help you to stay on that
\npath that leads to the Kingdom. <\/p>\n

401
\n00:28:11,280 –> 00:28:14,600
\nJust as Christ needed the vision
\nto help him through the hard <\/p>\n

402
\n00:28:14,600 –> 00:28:18,200
\ntimes that he was envisioning,
\nso we need a vision so that we <\/p>\n

403
\n00:28:18,200 –> 00:28:21,760
\ncan overcome the attraction of
\nthe world around us. <\/p>\n

404
\n00:28:23,080 –> 00:28:28,600
\nSo it is our prayer this morning
\nthat this vision will become a <\/p>\n

405

\nreality very, very soon.
