00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:10.980 We turn to the 11th chapter of Daniel. 00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:19.080 Continuing to look at this specific chapter that gives to us some detailed information 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:31.439 of the area of the work and the power and the reign of that person that the Bible identifies as the Antichrist. 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:38.019 We are slowly drawing to a close in our study of the book of Daniel. 00:06:38.019 --> 00:06:46.399 And I trust at least from now on when someone mentions the book of Daniel or your turn to it, you will be aware. 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:53.219 The five great prophecies in the book of the Antichrist. 00:06:53.220 --> 00:07:04.060 It's not as easy to figure out the reign of the Antichrist in the tribulation, but certainly there. 00:07:04.060 --> 00:07:19.639 The ninth chapter, of course, is the chapter which has four little verses speaking of the reign of the Antichrist and that interval of time between the first coming of Christ and the second coming of Christ. 00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:26.639 The ninth chapter is concerned by giving you one of the first coming of the first coming of the first coming of the Antichrist. 00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:28.860 He will make a covenant with the nation of Israel. 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:30.899 Therefore, bear something up. 00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:43.360 The nation of Israel has to be operative and in vogue and there when the Antichrist is revealed. 00:07:45.919 --> 00:07:47.759 He makes a covenant with them. 00:07:48.919 --> 00:07:53.779 But in the middle of the week, as the ninth chapter tells us, he breaks that covenant. 00:07:53.779 --> 00:08:06.679 Now, the eleventh chapter of Daniel highlights that covenant again by showing us the characteristics of the Antichrist to come in peaceably and with flattery. 00:08:07.500 --> 00:08:13.739 I did not mean to confuse some of you last week when I introduced a couple of new thoughts on outline. 00:08:15.419 --> 00:08:21.659 I personally believe the eleventh chapter of Daniel deals with three segmented situations. 00:08:21.660 --> 00:08:26.100 Now, you will not find this in your reading on eschatology. 00:08:27.500 --> 00:08:37.240 But I personally believe that the eleventh chapter deals, first of all, with about twenty verses of history that can be proven historically. 00:08:38.800 --> 00:08:43.420 Then it picks up what I call a segment of history and prophecy. 00:08:43.700 --> 00:08:46.660 Now, we have referred quite often to Antiochus Epiphanes. 00:08:46.659 --> 00:08:55.819 We have referred to the fact that historically he is an excellent illustration in character of the Antichrist. 00:08:56.899 --> 00:09:01.860 And so he again is picked up historically in the eleventh chapter. 00:09:02.079 --> 00:09:05.360 But everything that seems history is not true. 00:09:05.459 --> 00:09:07.100 It did not take place with him. 00:09:07.100 --> 00:09:13.580 So there is an overlap in the history with Antiochus Epiphany with some new prophecy. 00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:22.019 And then there is the segment which we are in now, which is total prophecy that has no history connected to it. 00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:25.879 Now, drop with me quickly to verse 36. 00:09:26.139 --> 00:09:29.240 I'm not going to repeat everything I said last Sunday evening. 00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:37.100 Verse 36 introduces to you what is normally called the willful king. 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:44.039 Probably, verse 36 begins the pure prophecy part of chapter 11. 00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:45.139 Now, bear up. 00:09:46.299 --> 00:09:51.700 Chapter 2, chapter 7, chapter 8, chapter 9, chapter 11. 00:09:51.700 --> 00:09:53.340 Five times. 00:09:55.460 --> 00:10:02.560 The Antichrist is referred to historically or illustratively or prophetically. 00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:09.460 I wish you could all remember better than I can because I can't remember it at all. 00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:11.580 I have to write it down. 00:10:13.580 --> 00:10:15.680 I took my glasses off so I can't see you. 00:10:15.700 --> 00:10:17.440 So if you can't answer me, you don't be embarrassed. 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:22.760 Chapter 2 dealt with the image that Nebuchadnezzar saw. 00:10:22.880 --> 00:10:23.660 Do you remember that? 00:10:24.940 --> 00:10:27.440 And Daniel interpreted that image. 00:10:28.540 --> 00:10:30.380 Now, it's obvious, but you can answer me. 00:10:30.460 --> 00:10:32.020 How many legs did the image have? 00:10:32.800 --> 00:10:33.260 Two. 00:10:33.400 --> 00:10:33.940 That's obvious. 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:36.260 How many feet did it have? 00:10:36.940 --> 00:10:38.420 How many toes did it have? 00:10:39.020 --> 00:10:39.460 Ten. 00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:40.080 All right. 00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:48.320 So immediately in the first vision, you are identified with ten nations or ten kings. 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:49.100 Do you remember that? 00:10:50.560 --> 00:10:56.440 And all prophecy seems to center around the fact that someplace before or during the tribulation, 00:10:57.100 --> 00:11:01.280 ten nations in a group of five each have to come to the forefront. 00:11:02.420 --> 00:11:03.000 All right. 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:12.559 Now, when you get home, read Revelation 13, 14, 15, and you will find ten nations are identified there. 00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:14.820 Not by name, but again by illustration. 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:22.460 But the ten heads are reduced to seven, if you'll remember. 00:11:22.460 --> 00:11:32.860 If you can just remember some numbers, you might come out with some thinking that does not take a lot of prophetic thought. 00:11:34.300 --> 00:11:43.940 For example, in one of the visions of Daniel, chapter 7 and chapter 8, the ten is brought down to seven. 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:48.759 Ten is identified, but three are immediately destroyed. 00:11:48.900 --> 00:11:49.639 Do you remember that? 00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:57.559 So again, the five and five, which are ten, seem to come down to seven, which highlight themselves. 00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:04.360 The writer of Revelation uses the seven and says, five have been, one is, and one is to come. 00:12:04.379 --> 00:12:07.000 If you remember Revelation 13, 14, and 15. 00:12:08.319 --> 00:12:16.179 Now, it is interesting that when you come to chapter 9, or excuse me, chapter 8, and chapter 9, and chapter 11, 00:12:16.179 --> 00:12:23.399 the seven, the seven seemingly, what's the word I just used, seemingly comes down to four. 00:12:25.899 --> 00:12:31.379 Now, whether the four includes the seven or the ten, nobody can be dogmatic. 00:12:31.379 --> 00:12:43.539 It's interesting to me that we really have taken a lot for granted in regards to the teaching of the tribulation among fundamental circles. 00:12:43.539 --> 00:12:47.039 I use myself as an example. 00:12:47.860 --> 00:12:51.539 For example, I've always been taught that there are seven years of tribulation. 00:12:51.719 --> 00:12:52.740 I believe that. 00:12:54.379 --> 00:12:59.399 I've always been taught that it's broken down into two sections, three and a half years approximately of peace. 00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:04.559 One is called the tribulation, and Christ identifies the other as great tribulation, or the great wrath of God. 00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:09.119 Now, the first three and a half years are a seeming time of peace. 00:13:09.239 --> 00:13:13.379 The last three and a half years are a time when the Antichrist rules and reigns. 00:13:13.419 --> 00:13:15.539 Now, that's what we've always taught, and that's true, isn't it? 00:13:17.199 --> 00:13:18.679 But did you ever stop to think of something? 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:26.559 How does the Antichrist win to become the ruler over all the other nations that are identified prophetically? 00:13:29.079 --> 00:13:30.099 Now, bear something out. 00:13:30.099 --> 00:13:31.939 I'm not trying to color your thinking. 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:39.439 I'm trying to set my own thinking straight on the basis of Daniel 11. 00:13:40.779 --> 00:13:47.119 From verse 36 on is nothing more than war, war, war, war, war. 00:13:48.259 --> 00:13:52.799 Now, true, the last three and a half years of tribulation will be the major part of wars. 00:13:53.019 --> 00:13:54.619 We know that from the New Testament. 00:13:55.939 --> 00:13:58.119 We know that from the book of Revelation. 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:04.799 But I would remind you that the Antichrist has to come to power through the grips of war. 00:14:07.299 --> 00:14:09.799 And nobody has ever set that in motion for me. 00:14:12.220 --> 00:14:16.440 I have three and a half years of peace, and I have three and a half years of Antichrist with war. 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:24.460 And the highlighted war is the battle of Armageddon at the close of the tribulation as Christ comes to defeat those armies that participate. 00:14:25.100 --> 00:14:30.740 I have never been taught in all my years what precedes that great battle of Armageddon. 00:14:32.500 --> 00:14:33.640 Who wars? 00:14:34.280 --> 00:14:35.260 Who fights? 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:37.700 What does the Antichrist do? 00:14:37.700 --> 00:14:39.320 Now you're in chapter 11 with me. 00:14:39.379 --> 00:14:40.500 Let me read again tonight. 00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:42.460 Not to confuse you. 00:14:42.800 --> 00:14:49.120 I personally don't believe you can take chapter 11 as the only teaching on the three and a half years of great tribulation. 00:14:49.259 --> 00:14:51.120 But I do think you can learn a lot. 00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:55.300 If you just use the knowledge you have. 00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:59.400 Verse 36 identifies the Antichrist as a willful king. 00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:09.039 Completely contrary to Christ, but as I told you last week, he has to defeat everything that's ever been taught about the Lord Jesus Christ. 00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:13.059 That's true. 00:15:14.379 --> 00:15:15.500 Bear something up. 00:15:16.779 --> 00:15:20.579 The greatest book in the tribulation will be the Bible. 00:15:23.620 --> 00:15:27.340 The knowledge to Israel will come through the prophets. 00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:33.559 The knowledge of the great tribulation will come through the gospels. 00:15:33.699 --> 00:15:38.419 There is not going to be any new prophecies written for the nation of Israel during the tribulation. 00:15:42.079 --> 00:15:44.679 The nation of Israel today is not very smart. 00:15:46.779 --> 00:15:52.039 If the nation of Israel today would pay attention to the Bible, they'd know exactly what they're supposed to do. 00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:57.679 You realize that the new prime minister of Israel said he was interested in the United States, 00:15:57.819 --> 00:16:02.179 and he was interested in our president because our president read the Bible. 00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:07.099 Now, if they'd carry that a step further, 00:16:08.099 --> 00:16:15.079 we might have some prophetic revelation coming to pass that for years we said could not come to pass. 00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:17.960 Secondly, bear something up. 00:16:18.900 --> 00:16:27.780 There is nothing in the Old Testament to deal with any nations except those that are north, east, and south of the land of Palestine. 00:16:27.779 --> 00:16:37.100 No place in the prophecies do you find this hemisphere taken into consideration. 00:16:39.179 --> 00:16:40.539 It will still be here. 00:16:41.839 --> 00:16:43.179 How it will be dominated, 00:16:43.819 --> 00:16:45.220 how it will be ruled, 00:16:45.319 --> 00:16:50.139 I would remind you that the government of rule in the prophecies is always referred to as kings, 00:16:50.779 --> 00:16:52.899 which is very interesting. 00:16:52.899 --> 00:16:55.480 Follow me carefully. 00:16:56.799 --> 00:16:58.840 The willful king, it says in verse 36, 00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:02.860 exalts himself, magnifies himself above every god or any type of god. 00:17:03.620 --> 00:17:08.839 He shall speak blasphemy which will astonish those people who know about God or know anything about the Bible. 00:17:08.980 --> 00:17:11.160 Blasphemy such we have never heard before. 00:17:11.299 --> 00:17:12.900 It's incomprehensible to us. 00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:18.279 And he shall prosper until God gets done with his wrath against the nation of Israel, 00:17:18.379 --> 00:17:19.839 which is the total tribulation. 00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:27.419 Again, bear in mind that everything going on in the world from the beginning of creation has been on God's time clock. 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:28.159 For he writes, 00:17:28.299 --> 00:17:30.419 For that that is discernment shall be done. 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:31.379 You can't change it. 00:17:31.439 --> 00:17:32.220 Verse 37. 00:17:32.459 --> 00:17:33.379 I'm reviewing yet. 00:17:34.779 --> 00:17:40.019 He's continuing to describe the beginning reign of this Antichrist. 00:17:41.459 --> 00:17:45.939 I remind you last week that apart from two references in verse 40 and verse 45, 00:17:45.939 --> 00:17:49.559 he does not deal with the nation of Israel in this paragraph. 00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:55.299 He does not deal with Palestine except to two insignificant references. 00:17:55.579 --> 00:17:56.459 Now what does it say? 00:17:57.220 --> 00:17:59.899 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, 00:17:59.939 --> 00:18:06.059 whether he has to be a Jew and coming from parents and a nation which believes in one God, 00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:11.919 or whether he comes from a family that was before him Christian based on the word of God, 00:18:12.099 --> 00:18:13.779 and one of the two has to be true. 00:18:13.779 --> 00:18:17.680 He does not come from an atheistic background. 00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:26.819 He either comes from a Jewish background or a Judo-Christian background where God was believed to be God. 00:18:26.819 --> 00:18:35.019 Whether he is a homosexual or whether he is odd because of his lack of desire for women, 00:18:35.139 --> 00:18:37.419 we do not know, but we have a strange phrase. 00:18:37.539 --> 00:18:41.720 He is not interested in the desire of women or to become the desire of women. 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:47.059 Nor he regards any God, for he shall magnify himself above all. 00:18:47.140 --> 00:18:51.279 Now we know immediately that Satan has always wanted to be God or above God, right? 00:18:51.339 --> 00:18:53.620 We have that in Isaiah, we have it in Ezekiel. 00:18:54.539 --> 00:18:57.519 At this time it will take place. 00:18:57.759 --> 00:18:58.720 Bear something out. 00:18:58.900 --> 00:19:00.940 We don't have time, we don't want to turn to it. 00:19:00.940 --> 00:19:08.160 Revelation 13 and 14 teaches us that there must be a trinity of Satan. 00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:14.779 Satan is involved, but he cannot be involved until he is literally cast out of heaven. 00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:16.600 That's Revelation chapter 12. 00:19:16.779 --> 00:19:19.120 He is not literally cast out of heaven today. 00:19:19.980 --> 00:19:25.779 When he is literally cast out of heaven, he can become part of the devilish triumvirate, 00:19:25.779 --> 00:19:28.680 which includes the first beast, which is the Antichrist, 00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:32.340 and the second beast, which is called usually the false prophet, 00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:35.140 or the false spirit may be a better term for him. 00:19:37.380 --> 00:19:42.460 And so you have the unholy trinity, which is identified in Revelation 13 and 14. 00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:44.860 All right, go to verse 38, I'm still reviewing. 00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:51.519 But in rejecting the God, he honors the God of forces. 00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:55.620 I said to you last week, many people translate this, the God of fortresses. 00:19:55.660 --> 00:19:56.820 I do not believe that. 00:19:56.819 --> 00:20:02.779 I believe because of the power of Satan, Revelation 13 and 14, 00:20:03.500 --> 00:20:06.759 that there will be something revealed in the power of Satan 00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:11.339 through the false prophet and the Antichrist that has never been revealed before. 00:20:13.099 --> 00:20:17.599 Whether it will be wholly phenomenal or whether it be natural, I am not sure. 00:20:17.700 --> 00:20:23.859 But I do know from this passage that something never before used as a God is going to be used. 00:20:23.859 --> 00:20:27.479 Turn for a moment, but I don't want to get my track lost, to Revelation. 00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:29.459 Just to read a couple of verses. 00:20:32.679 --> 00:20:33.899 Turn to the... 00:20:33.899 --> 00:20:35.619 Excuse me, I have to find it myself. 00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:40.819 Let's start with the 13th chapter. 00:20:40.819 --> 00:20:51.659 I'm just reading this to show you that the God of forces, which comes into prominence, 00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:55.220 could be what we read in Revelation 13, verse 11. 00:20:56.099 --> 00:20:59.139 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth. 00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:01.639 Could be the word land. 00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:03.559 I personally believe it refers to Palestine. 00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:07.980 And he had two horns like a lamb and he spake as a dragon. 00:21:08.019 --> 00:21:09.220 That's a very interesting phrase. 00:21:09.339 --> 00:21:11.779 He looks like Christ and he acts like the devil. 00:21:16.059 --> 00:21:17.200 Have you ever heard that before? 00:21:17.299 --> 00:21:17.980 You probably haven't. 00:21:20.619 --> 00:21:24.919 I remind you that the Antichrist and the false prophet are not unattractive. 00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:33.500 They have to be awfully attractive to sell people that the Bible is a fake or that the Bible is fulfilled in them. 00:21:35.259 --> 00:21:39.220 And they have to prove that what Christ did, they can do. 00:21:39.320 --> 00:21:39.920 Now read on. 00:21:40.560 --> 00:21:46.140 And he exercises all the power of the first beast or the authority of the first beast before him. 00:21:46.140 --> 00:21:50.220 In other words, you have two people with the same power, human beings. 00:21:51.660 --> 00:21:55.620 And causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast. 00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:59.000 Now that's where you are in Daniel 11, 36 and 37. 00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:05.480 He sets himself up as God and he acknowledges a God of forces which is never known before. 00:22:05.800 --> 00:22:07.020 Where does it come from? 00:22:07.800 --> 00:22:08.580 Well, let's read it. 00:22:09.600 --> 00:22:15.040 And causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast whose deadly wound was healed. 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:22.159 You realize that out of that little four-horned beast came one in Daniel which was small to begin with, 00:22:22.220 --> 00:22:27.879 who went through the wars, who suffered that thing, and probably was even wounded in that situation. 00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:29.879 Revelation brings that same thought out. 00:22:29.899 --> 00:22:31.539 And he doeth great wonders. 00:22:31.740 --> 00:22:32.779 There's an interesting phrase. 00:22:32.859 --> 00:22:33.720 The word is signs. 00:22:35.099 --> 00:22:38.740 So he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 00:22:38.740 --> 00:22:45.980 and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles or signs which he had power to do in the sight of the beast, 00:22:46.059 --> 00:22:51.720 saying to them that dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast which had the wound by a sword and did live. 00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:53.579 Now this is the abomination of desolation. 00:22:53.700 --> 00:22:55.599 You know this from Matthew and from Daniel. 00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:58.059 He is going to make an image. 00:22:58.059 --> 00:23:00.620 He's going to put it in the temple at Jerusalem. 00:23:00.619 --> 00:23:06.179 Someone's always worried about how long it takes to build a temple. 00:23:06.299 --> 00:23:08.159 I'd remind you they already got the foundation. 00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:17.679 The only fight the Jordanians and the Palestinians are going to have 00:23:17.679 --> 00:23:20.500 is if they try to take the Wailing Wall back. 00:23:22.419 --> 00:23:26.299 They believe that's the original foundation of the restored temple. 00:23:26.299 --> 00:23:29.119 And they want it. 00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:31.440 And they're going to keep it. 00:23:31.460 --> 00:23:33.779 In fact, in the Six-Day War, that's all they wanted. 00:23:33.879 --> 00:23:35.399 They didn't want anything else. 00:23:36.180 --> 00:23:39.039 They wanted that little piece of property that was in an alley. 00:23:40.899 --> 00:23:44.819 Very possible that the mosque that sits on the present Moriah 00:23:44.819 --> 00:23:50.559 could be incarcerated in part of the temple or incorporated in part of the temple. 00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:57.440 The temple to be built in Jerusalem did not have to be as extravagant or exorbitant as Solomon's temple. 00:23:57.799 --> 00:24:00.179 You realize when Nehemiah and Ezra restored the temple, 00:24:00.299 --> 00:24:02.599 some people wept because it wasn't as good as the other one. 00:24:03.579 --> 00:24:06.399 Well, I'd remind you now, there isn't anybody around that saw the original. 00:24:06.539 --> 00:24:08.240 So whatever they get, they're going to be happy with. 00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:12.319 So you see here, go a little further with me. 00:24:12.379 --> 00:24:13.779 I just want you to get the flavor. 00:24:14.119 --> 00:24:14.839 Verse 15. 00:24:16.119 --> 00:24:19.460 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast. 00:24:19.460 --> 00:24:21.299 Now kindly remember, this is not Satan. 00:24:21.420 --> 00:24:22.480 This is the false prophet. 00:24:24.500 --> 00:24:28.539 He can give power to that image that sits in the temple. 00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:32.120 That the image of the beast should both speak. 00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:33.340 Here's a phenomena. 00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:38.120 You know, you walk in Lazarus at Christmas, they have the talking tree. 00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:40.240 Now you know there's a guy inside of there, don't you? 00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:47.660 I remind you, you have here an image empowered by Satan, 00:24:47.819 --> 00:24:50.120 who does not have to stay inside of it to speak. 00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:58.380 That's an unnatural phenomena that nobody can explain. 00:24:59.339 --> 00:25:00.380 You remember that Christ said, 00:25:01.059 --> 00:25:05.900 if you wouldn't hail me as king, the very rocks would cry out. 00:25:05.900 --> 00:25:08.720 Do you see how clever the Antichrist is? 00:25:11.660 --> 00:25:17.380 He has to facsimile everything that Christ did or could do. 00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:20.640 So you see, he empowers the image of the beast should both speak, 00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:23.180 and cause as as many as would not worship, 00:25:23.300 --> 00:25:25.240 the image of the beast should be killed. 00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:29.000 And he causeth all both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, 00:25:29.040 --> 00:25:31.200 to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads. 00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:32.440 I'm stopping for something. 00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:35.120 As far as I'm concerned, 00:25:36.340 --> 00:25:41.960 this takes place close to the beginning of what we call the Great Tribulation. 00:25:43.420 --> 00:25:44.600 Not at the end. 00:25:45.840 --> 00:25:50.180 So that, when Daniel talks about how he's going to get his position, 00:25:50.420 --> 00:25:53.779 he has given us something that many of us have never paid attention to. 00:25:53.860 --> 00:25:55.380 How does he get that position? 00:25:57.580 --> 00:26:01.019 Anybody can figure out that he's going to get it at the end of the Tribulation, 00:26:01.019 --> 00:26:02.759 after he's had seven years' chance. 00:26:03.700 --> 00:26:05.339 But he has to have it before then. 00:26:05.420 --> 00:26:06.519 Go back to Daniel 11. 00:26:06.619 --> 00:26:08.680 I didn't mean to confuse you by taking you there, 00:26:08.980 --> 00:26:12.539 but I want you to see that your Bible does go together, hand in hand. 00:26:12.660 --> 00:26:14.299 It is not without comparison. 00:26:14.579 --> 00:26:14.900 All right? 00:26:15.180 --> 00:26:15.839 Verse 38. 00:26:15.940 --> 00:26:18.940 I want to get down these verses tonight very quickly to have you think. 00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:22.740 But in rejecting God, he shall honor the God of forces, 00:26:22.859 --> 00:26:24.519 a God whom his fathers knew not, 00:26:24.519 --> 00:26:28.160 shall he honor with gold, silver, with precious stones, and pleasant things. 00:26:31.019 --> 00:26:32.579 Again, I must stop. 00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:34.319 You realize that in the millennium, 00:26:34.879 --> 00:26:37.559 nations must come to Jerusalem to worship, 00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:40.460 and they must bring precious things. 00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:43.440 The Antichrist is going to say, 00:26:43.579 --> 00:26:46.680 See, I'm the king that's going to reign. 00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:48.759 I'm the Christ, and therefore, 00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:53.319 I have a right to expect you to come and pay homage and worship at the image 00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:54.920 with that which is valuable. 00:26:55.099 --> 00:26:55.920 I'm the Christ. 00:26:55.920 --> 00:27:00.980 Are you aware that he's going to say the millennium has started? 00:27:04.420 --> 00:27:06.180 Are you aware that he's going to say, 00:27:06.300 --> 00:27:08.400 Look, I'm ruling with force. 00:27:08.539 --> 00:27:10.640 That's what Christ is supposed to do. 00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:12.259 Rule with a rod of iron. 00:27:12.360 --> 00:27:13.259 Here I am. 00:27:14.080 --> 00:27:15.440 What did Daniel 11 tell you? 00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:19.160 Many of the Jews who were in the covenant fell away from it 00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:20.440 and followed the Antichrist, 00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:24.080 but there was that small remnant who spoke of God and of Christ 00:27:24.080 --> 00:27:25.140 and tried to teach, 00:27:25.500 --> 00:27:29.120 and they suffered martyrdom and trial and tribulation 00:27:29.120 --> 00:27:31.900 and purging and slavery 00:27:31.900 --> 00:27:36.340 because they wouldn't worship. 00:27:37.660 --> 00:27:38.580 Verse 39. 00:27:38.840 --> 00:27:39.980 This is where we stopped last week. 00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:43.400 Thus shall he do in the most strongholds. 00:27:43.400 --> 00:27:44.400 Very strange phrase. 00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:46.259 It seems to refer to nations. 00:27:46.259 --> 00:27:52.039 This is what he shall do with those who he conquers and follows. 00:27:52.180 --> 00:27:53.420 With a strange God. 00:27:53.500 --> 00:27:54.920 Now, whether that's the God of forces, 00:27:55.019 --> 00:27:56.140 I personally believe it is. 00:27:56.180 --> 00:27:57.420 He has identified it twice. 00:27:57.519 --> 00:27:59.140 When the Bible tells you something twice, 00:27:59.259 --> 00:28:00.400 pay attention to it. 00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:05.220 Whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory, 00:28:05.299 --> 00:28:07.059 and he shall cause them to rule over many. 00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:07.879 In other words, 00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:10.839 there will be ruling and reigning in the reign of the Antichrist. 00:28:10.940 --> 00:28:12.440 He can't be every place at once. 00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:14.000 He has to trust some people. 00:28:16.259 --> 00:28:18.180 He has to trust some nations. 00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:22.039 He has to have some conglomerate with which he works. 00:28:24.420 --> 00:28:25.720 That's not hard to see. 00:28:27.819 --> 00:28:28.500 All right. 00:28:28.879 --> 00:28:30.920 And shall divide the land for gain. 00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:31.859 There is a phrase. 00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:34.359 Now, we don't know whether these things are in sequence 00:28:34.359 --> 00:28:37.240 or whether Daniel in the vision given by the angel 00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:40.859 is just giving us thoughts as they are given to him. 00:28:45.140 --> 00:28:45.940 Verse 40. 00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:48.539 And at the time of the end, 00:28:49.259 --> 00:28:54.220 we have no time factor to identify with. 00:28:55.420 --> 00:28:57.019 The time of the end of what? 00:28:57.119 --> 00:28:58.099 The end of the tribulation? 00:28:59.379 --> 00:29:01.519 The time of the end of the Antichrist? 00:29:01.640 --> 00:29:03.879 Or is he doing what every prophet does, 00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:06.900 talking about the latter days? 00:29:06.900 --> 00:29:12.360 A period of time which could be as long as three and a half years. 00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:17.439 I was reading this afternoon. 00:29:17.639 --> 00:29:19.279 I probably won't have time to go there tonight. 00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:21.579 In Ezekiel 37, 38, and 39. 00:29:21.579 --> 00:29:25.839 I learned something brand new. 00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:33.319 You know how long it takes to clean up the land of Israel after Armageddon? 00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:35.919 Seven months. 00:29:36.099 --> 00:29:36.539 Seven months. 00:29:36.539 --> 00:29:37.579 Seven months. 00:29:37.579 --> 00:29:41.039 Isn't that interesting? 00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:44.759 Nobody ever has dropped that seven months any place in eschatology. 00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:52.220 People will walk through the land or ride through the land, 00:29:52.220 --> 00:29:53.740 and they see a bone of a human being. 00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:54.940 They'll put a marker on it, 00:29:54.980 --> 00:29:58.579 and someone of the government will come along and bury that bone to get rid of it. 00:29:58.579 --> 00:29:59.939 That's what Ezekiel 37 said. 00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:02.059 Last week we get in a lot of problems. 00:30:03.879 --> 00:30:07.439 Previous in Daniel 11, we had the king of the south, 00:30:07.539 --> 00:30:11.199 and we assumed that Antiochus Epiphanes was the king of the north. 00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:14.399 So we only had two nations, north and south, right? 00:30:16.159 --> 00:30:17.319 Now I have a problem. 00:30:20.159 --> 00:30:21.579 All commentators say, 00:30:21.819 --> 00:30:24.799 well, the Antichrist is always called the king of the north. 00:30:24.919 --> 00:30:26.179 Well, if he is here, I'm in trouble. 00:30:28.579 --> 00:30:29.919 Just let me read for you. 00:30:31.179 --> 00:30:34.659 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him, 00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:38.899 and the king of the north shall come against him. 00:30:38.919 --> 00:30:40.099 He can't come against himself. 00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:47.599 Now there's not a great problem, 00:30:48.099 --> 00:30:49.980 but we don't want to run around our Bible. 00:30:52.059 --> 00:30:55.379 It would seem to me that that referred to as the north 00:30:55.380 --> 00:30:59.080 is that confederacy of ten reduced to seven, 00:30:59.660 --> 00:31:03.020 which is north of the land of Palestine. 00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:10.180 And that confederacy must be proven 00:31:10.180 --> 00:31:13.340 that the Antichrist is to be the ruler. 00:31:13.339 --> 00:31:18.379 What are they coming against, class? 00:31:18.539 --> 00:31:20.299 The Antichrist or a nation? 00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:21.859 They're coming against a nation. 00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:22.799 What nation? 00:31:24.179 --> 00:31:24.879 Answer me. 00:31:25.899 --> 00:31:26.319 Israel. 00:31:26.459 --> 00:31:28.720 Then the Antichrist is going to defend Israel. 00:31:31.859 --> 00:31:32.299 Why? 00:31:33.159 --> 00:31:34.359 Because he's the Antichrist. 00:31:34.439 --> 00:31:35.240 It's his land. 00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:40.700 It's the very land which Christ is going to rule and reign over 00:31:40.700 --> 00:31:42.259 because he's just going to transfer the kingdom 00:31:42.259 --> 00:31:44.019 from the Antichrist to the Christ. 00:31:44.120 --> 00:31:44.880 There's no difference. 00:31:44.980 --> 00:31:46.720 You learned that in Daniel a number of weeks ago. 00:31:47.599 --> 00:31:48.759 Now just let me read for you. 00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:51.200 And at that time of the end, 00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:53.559 I personally believe this is sort of the beginning 00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:55.480 of the second part of the tribulation 00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:58.400 where he proves himself to be what he is, 00:31:58.400 --> 00:31:59.740 the ruler of the world. 00:31:59.740 --> 00:32:04.079 He's going to win that by war. 00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:09.500 And at that time of the end, 00:32:09.819 --> 00:32:11.779 shall the king of the south push at him 00:32:11.779 --> 00:32:13.579 and the king of the north shall come against him 00:32:13.579 --> 00:32:15.140 like a whirlwind with chariots, 00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:16.640 with horsemen, with many ships. 00:32:17.099 --> 00:32:18.680 And he shall enter into the countries 00:32:18.680 --> 00:32:20.480 and shall overflow and pass over. 00:32:20.620 --> 00:32:21.920 Now all it says to me is 00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:23.319 the north and south don't win. 00:32:27.579 --> 00:32:29.120 But verse 41 is a problem. 00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:31.199 He shall enter also into the glorious land. 00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:32.500 There's a reference to Palestine. 00:32:35.539 --> 00:32:37.000 So whether he is a part, 00:32:37.099 --> 00:32:38.099 I'm not being specific, 00:32:38.299 --> 00:32:39.339 I'm getting you to think. 00:32:40.500 --> 00:32:42.619 He is a part of this group of nations 00:32:42.619 --> 00:32:44.059 illustrated in the two legs, 00:32:44.179 --> 00:32:46.459 the ten toes, five each reduced to seven 00:32:46.459 --> 00:32:47.959 and here reduced to four. 00:32:50.179 --> 00:32:53.019 Of that group, which is part of the north, 00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:54.599 he was called the northern king, 00:32:54.679 --> 00:32:56.599 but when he sees the northern kings 00:32:56.599 --> 00:32:58.719 are going to go against the land of Israel, 00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:00.620 he has to go against them 00:33:00.620 --> 00:33:02.100 because that's going to be his land. 00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:05.360 Does he win? 00:33:06.460 --> 00:33:08.519 He shall enter also into the glorious land 00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:09.779 and as he protects Israel, 00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:12.460 many countries shall be overthrown. 00:33:12.460 --> 00:33:15.259 He protects Israel. 00:33:15.259 --> 00:33:19.559 But there are three names which are interesting. 00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:23.160 Three groups of people, 00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:23.960 Moab, 00:33:25.539 --> 00:33:26.059 Edom, 00:33:26.620 --> 00:33:28.240 and the chief were the princes 00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:29.420 of the children of Ammon. 00:33:30.840 --> 00:33:32.240 It's very interesting to me 00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:33.620 that we really don't know our world. 00:33:33.619 --> 00:33:39.439 You realize to the north of Israel 00:33:39.439 --> 00:33:41.739 is all the northern European countries 00:33:41.739 --> 00:33:43.779 including Russia and all of that. 00:33:43.919 --> 00:33:44.739 You understand that? 00:33:46.199 --> 00:33:48.299 To the south of the nation of Israel 00:33:48.299 --> 00:33:50.199 is something very interesting. 00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:53.559 To the south is Egypt 00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:55.259 and the African nations. 00:33:55.259 --> 00:33:59.140 But to the south of Palestine 00:33:59.140 --> 00:34:01.579 is also a large nation 00:34:01.579 --> 00:34:03.160 called Arabia. 00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:08.320 Now called Saudi Arabia. 00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:10.440 Did you ever notice 00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:11.659 it's almost as big as Egypt? 00:34:11.659 --> 00:34:16.920 I wonder if I'd ask you 00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:18.159 without looking on your map 00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:18.980 where Moab 00:34:18.980 --> 00:34:20.659 and Ammon 00:34:20.659 --> 00:34:23.539 and Edom are 00:34:23.539 --> 00:34:24.379 if you could tell me. 00:34:26.440 --> 00:34:27.579 Well, when you get home 00:34:27.579 --> 00:34:28.159 you'll look. 00:34:28.259 --> 00:34:28.799 You'll notice 00:34:28.799 --> 00:34:30.779 they're on the east side of Palestine 00:34:30.779 --> 00:34:32.119 at the south 00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:33.739 close to the Dead Sea. 00:34:35.759 --> 00:34:38.179 It's a little angle in there 00:34:38.179 --> 00:34:39.839 seemingly of nations 00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:41.720 which do not become 00:34:41.720 --> 00:34:42.860 totally involved 00:34:42.860 --> 00:34:43.940 with the Antichrist. 00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:45.019 We don't know why 00:34:45.019 --> 00:34:45.519 for the moment. 00:34:47.980 --> 00:34:49.920 But this little strip of land 00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:52.460 seems to stay neutral. 00:34:52.680 --> 00:34:53.760 It's just above 00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:54.820 Saudi Arabia. 00:34:56.200 --> 00:34:58.120 From the border of Saudi Arabia 00:34:58.120 --> 00:34:59.200 to the Dead Sea 00:34:59.200 --> 00:35:00.760 and a little to the east 00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:01.840 of the Dead Sea 00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:03.000 are these three lands. 00:35:03.180 --> 00:35:04.640 Very small portion of land. 00:35:06.460 --> 00:35:07.480 Has a purpose? 00:35:07.640 --> 00:35:08.200 No doubt. 00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:09.559 Read on with me 00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:09.980 for a further. 00:35:11.119 --> 00:35:12.000 Verse 42. 00:35:13.399 --> 00:35:14.379 He shall stretch forth 00:35:14.379 --> 00:35:15.259 his hand also 00:35:15.259 --> 00:35:16.159 upon the countries. 00:35:16.259 --> 00:35:16.799 In other words 00:35:16.799 --> 00:35:17.599 whatever country 00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:18.759 he passes through 00:35:18.759 --> 00:35:20.139 in order to protect 00:35:20.139 --> 00:35:20.759 Palestine 00:35:20.759 --> 00:35:23.419 he captures. 00:35:25.319 --> 00:35:27.039 And the land of Egypt 00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:28.119 shall not escape. 00:35:28.299 --> 00:35:29.779 There's that land again 00:35:29.779 --> 00:35:31.279 that is so important. 00:35:31.419 --> 00:35:33.199 A little south and west 00:35:33.199 --> 00:35:34.719 of the land of Palestine. 00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:37.379 And with Egypt 00:35:37.379 --> 00:35:37.899 of course 00:35:37.899 --> 00:35:38.799 he's concerned 00:35:38.799 --> 00:35:39.559 with everything 00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:40.839 that's buried there 00:35:40.839 --> 00:35:42.099 that most archaeologists 00:35:42.099 --> 00:35:42.779 are digging up 00:35:42.779 --> 00:35:43.639 for him right now. 00:35:48.519 --> 00:35:49.919 You go to the museum 00:35:49.919 --> 00:35:50.599 in Cairo 00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:52.839 you could spend weeks 00:35:52.839 --> 00:35:53.159 there 00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:54.599 of the things 00:35:54.599 --> 00:35:55.859 that they've taken out 00:35:55.859 --> 00:35:58.419 of just a smattering 00:35:58.419 --> 00:35:59.019 of Egypt. 00:35:59.019 --> 00:36:02.579 I never saw 00:36:02.579 --> 00:36:03.659 so much gold 00:36:03.659 --> 00:36:04.920 in my life. 00:36:05.219 --> 00:36:05.940 You realize 00:36:05.940 --> 00:36:06.699 that King Tut 00:36:06.699 --> 00:36:07.239 was buried 00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:08.719 in three gold rooms 00:36:08.719 --> 00:36:09.599 interspersed 00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:10.320 like a box. 00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:13.880 The first room 00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:14.619 how big was the first room 00:36:14.619 --> 00:36:14.780 Earl? 00:36:18.940 --> 00:36:19.880 Big as a platform? 00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:21.880 Third of the platform. 00:36:23.139 --> 00:36:24.280 Third of the platform 00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:25.259 box 00:36:25.259 --> 00:36:25.759 square 00:36:25.759 --> 00:36:26.719 solid gold 00:36:26.719 --> 00:36:27.400 inside and out. 00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:29.500 Then inside 00:36:29.500 --> 00:36:29.900 this one 00:36:29.900 --> 00:36:30.800 was another box 00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:31.639 that just fit 00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:32.440 solid gold 00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:33.180 inside and out. 00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:34.619 And inside 00:36:34.619 --> 00:36:35.300 that second box 00:36:35.300 --> 00:36:36.019 was another box 00:36:36.019 --> 00:36:36.740 solid gold 00:36:36.740 --> 00:36:37.460 inside and out 00:36:37.460 --> 00:36:37.880 and that's where 00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:38.340 Thomas buried. 00:36:40.900 --> 00:36:41.960 Three boxes 00:36:41.960 --> 00:36:43.460 solid gold 00:36:43.460 --> 00:36:46.800 buried in that pyramid 00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:48.099 and around him 00:36:48.099 --> 00:36:50.639 buried everything 00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:52.119 of solid gold 00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:53.579 including his chariots 00:36:53.579 --> 00:36:54.500 his carts 00:36:54.500 --> 00:36:55.740 anything he had 00:36:55.740 --> 00:36:56.760 was solid gold. 00:36:56.760 --> 00:36:57.560 he did not believe 00:36:57.560 --> 00:36:58.300 in anything but that 00:36:58.300 --> 00:36:59.660 and realized 00:36:59.660 --> 00:37:00.200 he lived only 00:37:00.200 --> 00:37:01.180 until 19 years of age. 00:37:04.080 --> 00:37:05.340 And that is just 00:37:05.340 --> 00:37:06.680 scratching the surface 00:37:06.680 --> 00:37:08.700 of the riches 00:37:08.700 --> 00:37:09.800 of Egypt 00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:10.860 buried not only 00:37:10.860 --> 00:37:11.840 in the pyramids 00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:13.160 but in the sands 00:37:13.160 --> 00:37:13.860 where probably 00:37:13.860 --> 00:37:14.460 they've never been 00:37:14.460 --> 00:37:15.040 touched. 00:37:16.220 --> 00:37:17.400 And it's amazing 00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:18.040 to me 00:37:18.040 --> 00:37:19.520 how they've not 00:37:19.520 --> 00:37:20.580 only preserved them 00:37:20.580 --> 00:37:21.240 but they've kept 00:37:21.240 --> 00:37:21.800 them safe 00:37:21.800 --> 00:37:22.600 after they've dug 00:37:22.600 --> 00:37:22.900 them up 00:37:22.900 --> 00:37:23.360 that nobody 00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:24.120 stole enough. 00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:27.759 But you see 00:37:27.759 --> 00:37:28.420 God has a hand 00:37:28.420 --> 00:37:28.819 in this. 00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:31.420 How rich is 00:37:31.420 --> 00:37:32.199 Christ going to be 00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:32.880 when he gets here? 00:37:33.239 --> 00:37:34.119 He's not only 00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:34.859 going to be king 00:37:34.859 --> 00:37:35.420 because he's 00:37:35.420 --> 00:37:36.099 the son of God 00:37:36.099 --> 00:37:36.719 he's going to have 00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:37.519 everything that's 00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:38.059 on the earth 00:37:38.059 --> 00:37:38.799 that's here now 00:37:38.799 -->

No, my cry is, most of you, I think you understand me, I'm not for substandard 00:55:13.599 --> 00:55:23.119 education. I'm not against sports. But let me say something to you. I have said this 00:55:23.119 --> 00:55:28.300 to the board. I would keep my two boys in this school if the only thing they got was 00:55:28.300 --> 00:55:31.980 reading, writing, and arithmetic, and they never got music or sports or anything else. 00:55:32.019 --> 00:55:35.099 At least at home I can breathe. They're not getting any junk I've got to worry about. 00:55:36.019 --> 00:55:42.139 Now that's my personal conviction. Most of you know I'm not completely sold on the ACE 00:55:42.139 --> 00:55:47.519 program. We don't have it, Clark. But let me say something to you. I'd rather see a kid 00:55:47.519 --> 00:55:53.900 in an ACE school than in no Christian school at all. He's at least getting a Christian education. 00:55:54.039 --> 00:55:57.960 It's called accelerated Christian education. It's a self-supervising discipline thing for 00:55:57.960 --> 00:56:02.320 kids. I'm not totally against it, but most of the kids I know are not very self-motivated. 00:56:02.320 --> 00:56:07.840 They need a teacher with a rod over their head. Our kids are that way, in a way, if that 00:56:07.840 --> 00:56:10.380 helps. Anybody else? Quickly. Dan? 00:56:10.380 --> 00:56:36.599 Anybody else? 00:56:36.599 --> 00:56:41.519 Silence is golden, but not in a Christian school meeting. Delbert? 00:56:41.519 --> 00:56:49.900 What is the name of the Christian school that has been sent to the private side of the door? 00:56:49.900 --> 00:56:56.460 Most of the suits have been from public education that they are not meeting the standards, they 00:56:56.460 --> 00:57:00.380 are not certified or chartered by the state, and therefore kids going to their schools are 00:57:00.380 --> 00:57:03.980 truant. Yes, Bob? 00:57:13.099 --> 00:57:18.539 Well, you're back to interpretation again, Bob, and presently, as I said, for the last year, it has backed off. 00:57:19.119 --> 00:57:22.599 There are many schools operating in Ohio the state does not pay any attention to, and they 00:57:22.599 --> 00:57:25.880 not paid attention to the state. Now, I'm being honest with you. I have a little problem with this. 00:57:25.880 --> 00:57:31.019 I personally think that the Bible teaches us we obey the laws of the land as long as it doesn't 00:57:31.019 --> 00:57:38.079 infringe on our religious freedom. And we have taken that avenue in regards to Maranatha Christian 00:57:38.079 --> 00:57:43.539 School. We have our school in the elementary side, you realize, is chartered. We have a state charter in 00:57:43.539 --> 00:57:49.579 our elementary school. We passed the test. As far as I know, we didn't compromise any place, and we are not 00:57:49.579 --> 00:57:50.660 compromising any place. 00:57:50.659 --> 00:57:56.539 But it may come to the place that the minimum standards and interpretation may cause us a conflict 00:57:56.539 --> 00:58:01.980 in regards to our own philosophy of education. Then we'd have to decide whether we want to be 00:58:01.980 --> 00:58:08.420 out of obedience to the law and obedient to the word of God or to quit. Now, this is a thing that 00:58:08.420 --> 00:58:14.039 happens. Now, the elementary side is not as serious as the high school side. You are aware of that. 00:58:15.219 --> 00:58:20.119 The state on the high school side is very difficult to work with. You have to have a building of some 00:58:20.119 --> 00:58:24.759 sorts. You have to have the teachers. You have to have the subjects offered. But some of those 00:58:24.759 --> 00:58:28.940 subjects we would not agree with. But we could teach them in the realm of Christian philosophy. 00:58:30.039 --> 00:58:35.239 So we don't know what's going to happen to that thing. The state has said, and the elementary side, 00:58:35.339 --> 00:58:39.099 they do have a fellow by the name of Gable who works with Christian schools. In fact, he is 00:58:39.099 --> 00:58:43.859 supportive of Christian schools and has got a number of elementary schools certified in the state because 00:58:43.859 --> 00:58:47.839 of his work with the state education part. They've never done this on the high school side, 00:58:47.840 --> 00:58:51.380 so we don't know what's going to happen here. You have to sort of flounder yourself. But it can come 00:58:51.380 --> 00:58:55.360 back. There is no doubt it's laying dormant now because of all the things that's happened in the 00:58:55.360 --> 00:58:59.180 last year. Martin Essex, of course, is not the state superintendent anymore who was totally 00:58:59.180 --> 00:59:04.120 antagonistic against private schools in totality. He came that open. He told me that. I disagree with 00:59:04.120 --> 00:59:12.000 you running a school at all. If we had our chance, we'd put you out of business. But what the state's 00:59:12.000 --> 00:59:16.239 going to do, nobody knows. What they can do, it no doubt will be taken to court. There will be 00:59:16.239 --> 00:59:21.239 many Christian schools taken to court in the next five years. In fact, I can't repeat them all. We 00:59:21.239 --> 00:59:27.320 could listen to the tape. But I think presently some 21 states have lawsuits against Christian schools 00:59:27.320 --> 00:59:29.360 in them. Waiting to be heard.
