0:00 What is it about this temple being rebuilt? Why is this such a big deal right now? Think about this. If the Jews rebuilt the temple, can that temple legitimately be called the temple of God? Can it be God's temple when it denies his son? People are looking to the Middle East so they don't see what's happening with America and the Vatican. So that tells us Christians can be deceived. Let no man deceive you, for that day will not come except the falling away comes first and the man of sin is revealed. And look at me, I said, I never saw that. Does he say that Jesus comes to gather us first and then the Antichrist comes? Or does he say the falling away and the Antichrist comes first and then he's going to gather us? Pastor Steve, the temple has been a big issue.
0:59 The temple being rebuilt in Israel. It seems that they're always looking for the red heifer and making sure it has no blemishes. It's in the news quite a bit. And I see, because I look over the news for this program, that people want me to talk about Israel. What is it about this temple being rebuilt? Why is this such a big deal right now? Yeah, and I've read a lot of books on this topic. If you go to Amazon and just type in Jewish temple and the end of the world, you'll find a whole bunch of different books. And the idea is, that in the final days, Israel is going to rebuild the ancient temple that was destroyed in 70 AD by the Romans. And that that temple is going to be the place where the Antichrist, the evil Antichrist, is going to go into that temple.
1:55 He's going to proclaim himself as being God. It's going to create a rift between the Antichrist and the Jews, which will eventually result in the Antichrist gathering the nations to fight against the Jews, which they interpret to be Armageddon, the final battle of Armageddon. So a lot of people are, a lot of Christians, and me too, you know, we want Jesus to come. We want the Lord to come. We want all of this sin and all this evil to be done. And so many people think that in order for Jesus to come and that final sequence to kick in, the temple has to be rebuilt over in Israel. And there's one primary verse in the New Testament that they use to kind of build that theology. And it's in 2 Thessalonians 2, verse 4.
2:56 And so maybe we just, we'll just actually verse, yeah, we'll just read verse 4. And this is talking about the Antichrist. And this is a prediction. From Paul. Man of lawlessness, yeah. Yeah, and he talks about this man of sin. In verse 3, the man of sin will be revealed, the son of perdition. And then verse 4 says that he will oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he, as God, sits where? He will sit in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. So people look at this text and the Left Behind series focuses on this text and they interpret this verse to mean that there's going to be another temple over in Israel.
3:51 It's going to be rebuilt maybe on the Temple Mount or next to the Temple Mount. And because Jewish people now have some red heifers that they brought over from America on an American Airlines flight, and they had, there are some, there's like the Temple Institute, a very conservative Jewish group that is laying the groundwork to sacrifice a red heifer and to rebuild that temple because they believe this is God's will. And the Christians are looking at this and they're saying, this is showing us that we're in the final days because once that temple is rebuilt, the Antichrist, the Antichrist is going to show up. He's going to proclaim he's God. That's going to lead to the final sequence leading to the Battle of Armageddon and the return of the Lord. So they're tying this in with the end days and there's so many Christians that so firmly believe that temple has to be rebuilt. And the reason why they believe it, at least from this, is from the New Testament. There's one Old Testament text that they also use, but we won't focus on that now.
5:02 But 2 Thessalonians 2, says the Antichrist is going to sit in the temple of God. So they're rebuilding the temple so the Antichrist can come? Well, the Jewish people aren't doing that. They don't, they're not thinking that they're going to fulfill prophecy so the Antichrist will come. But the Christians who are looking at what the Jews are doing, they are thinking that this is fulfilling prophecy and the temple is going to become the place where the Antichrist, is going to go because the Christians are reading 2 Thessalonians chapter 2. The Jews aren't reading 2 Thessalonians chapter 2. The Christians are reading 2 Thessalonians chapter 2. Yeah, the Jews don't have that portion. No, they don't. Well, yeah, the Hebrew Bible doesn't include the New Testament. But the Christians who are reading the New Testament, they look at 2 Thessalonians 2 and they say, there it is.
5:57 There's the prophecy that the temple is going to be rebuilt. So does this tie in, and this is my own personal question, I guess, does this tie into the whole Matthew 24 part where it says, well, let me read it here. It says, so when you see this standing in the holy place, the abomination that causes desolation spoken of through Daniel the prophet, let the reader understand, then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. And basically don't, well, it says right here, don't let, let no one of the household go down and take anything out of the house. Let no one in the field go back and get their cloak. How dreadful will be the day. Is that talking about the same time when someone will stand up? Because it's, this is, this is interesting to me because this is what a lot of people have said. We're waiting for a time when something is going to appear and we have to run to the hills. Can you elaborate this? Well, first of all, we need to look at the context of Matthew 20, 24, and I believe it's Luke 21, where Jesus is talking to his disciples, 2,000 years ago about not one stone left upon another, but it'll all be thrown down of the temple.
7:11 So maybe we should just go back to, and then we'll get back to 2 Thessalonians 2. But in Matthew chapter 24, verse one, after Jesus gave his woes on the Pharisees, telling them your house has left desolate, in verse chapter 24, verse one, Jesus went out. He went out of the temple. He departed from the temple and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, do you see not all these things, all these beautiful buildings connected to the temple? Truly I say to you, there shall not be left here one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down. So the disciples were so impressed with the temple. And when Jesus had just told the Jewish leaders, your house is left to you. Dessolate. You know, it's all gonna be destroyed. And then he walked out of the temple and told the disciples, that there's not one stone gonna be left upon another, but it's not going to be thrown down.
8:13 You know the side disciples were shocked. So when Jesus left the Pharisees, they said, you know, master, look at this beautiful temple. And then Jesus told them it's all gonna come down. And so, as you keep reading Matthew 24, eventually he says, when you see, you know, the abuse. abomination of desolation coming so that's in verse matthew 24 verse 15 when you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by daniel the prophet stand in the holy place whoever reads let him understand then let him them which be in judea flee to the mountains let him which is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house neither let him that is in the field return back to take his clothes so jesus is describing a moment when the disciples need to get out of jerusalem they need to flee now he there's a parallel verse to this which is in luke 21 okay jesus says the same thing in luke's gospel but there's a little there's an elaboration okay it's in verse 20 luke 21 20 jesus says when you see jesus Jerusalem, surrounded by armies, then know that the desolation thereof is near. Now, this is clearly talking about when the Roman armies were going to surround Jerusalem and destroy it in 70 AD.
9:45 So, in Matthew 23, Jesus said, your house is left desolate. In Matthew 24, the disciples said, wow, don't you think the temple's beautiful? And Jesus says, not one stone's going to be left, it's all going to be thrown down. And then he describes the abomination of desolation when they're to flee. And then in Luke 21, he's talking about the same thing, but he adds the extra words in Luke's gospel that this is when Jerusalem is surrounded by the armies, which would be the armies of Rome. And then in verse 21, he says, then let them which are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let them which are in the midst of it depart not out. Verse 22 says, these are the days of vengeance that all things will be destroyed. And then he says, let them which are in Judea may be fulfilled. So, when you put Matthew 24 and Luke 21 together, what Jesus is telling the disciples is the temple's going to be destroyed. And when you see the Roman armies, which was actually 40 years later, when you see the Roman armies surrounding Jerusalem, you know its time is up. You know its desolation is near, and then flee to the mountains, get out. And that actually happened. So, 40 years after Jesus went to heaven, there were still, God was working, with the Jewish people in the book of Acts. He was pleading with them, trying to help them, getting them to see Jesus as Messiah. Many of them did become Christians. There was a lot of Christians in Jerusalem, but the time finally came when the Roman armies were closing in. And when the disciples saw those Roman armies closing in, they had a specific sign, and they knew, now it's time for us to get out. And so they left. Before the Romans destroyed the city and the and no Christian lost his life in 70 AD. Amazing. They all got out, and they went to a little community called Pila. Pila. Pila, east of Jerusalem, up in the mountains. And they escaped, and they all got out. And so no Christian perished in the destruction of Jerusalem by the Roman armies in 70 AD. Now, people sometimes look at this, and they apply it to the very end of the world. And they apply it to the very end of the world. And they apply it to the very end of the When, you know, the abomination of desolation or the destruction is coming, and somehow they connect this to a rebuilt temple, because they say, well, the temple was destroyed in 70 AD, and Jerusalem was destroyed. But there's a prophecy about something like this happening at the end. So they say the temple has to come back. And the abomination of desolation, they apply that to the Antichrist going into the temple and saying he's God, where they quote 2 Thessalonians chapter 2. But we have to look at, 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, and look at what it's really saying. Is this talking about another temple over in Israel and another abomination of desolation over on the Temple Mount over in the Middle East? Or is this talking about something else? Yeah, because there's a lot of sermons from Matthew 24 talking about in days. And I thought it was, I mean, even, and so I thought there was a dual or a second fulfillment inside this whole thing.
12:56 Yes, and I believe there is. I believe there's actually a number of abominations of desolation. One abomination of desolation was when the Roman armies came in and destroyed the temple. But when you read Daniel's prophecies, like Jesus said, whoever reads, let him understand. Quoting Daniel the prophet, Daniel, especially Daniel chapter 11, talks about another power setting up an abomination of desolation. And I believe there's actually going to be a third application, which I don't know if we really got time to go into all that, but I believe there are multiple fulfillments. But let's look at 2 Thessalonians 2, and I'll show you my understanding of the second abomination of desolation. And it's 2 Thessalonians chapter 2. And then we'll get to verse 4 that talks about the temple, which is the verse, that people quote to prove that the temple has to be rebuilt and the Antichrist is coming into it. So let's start with verse 1. 2 Thessalonians 2, verse 1. Paul said, Now we beseech you, brethren. So he's writing to the Thessalonian Christians. He had helped raise up a church in Thessalonica, which was in Greece. And there was a new church there of Christians. And he was writing to the Thessalonians. And he was writing to the Christians, believers. And so he's writing to them. And he said, Brethren, I'm writing to you by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and by our gathering together to him. And this goes actually back to his first letter to the Thessalonians, where he described Jesus coming down from heaven in chapter 4, the dead in Christ rising, and believers being caught up to meet the Lord in the air. So there was some confusion about what Paul wrote in 1 Thessalonians. And he said, 1 Thessalonians. They thought this was going to happen at any time. Jesus is going to come down and gather us. So Paul's clarifying some things in 2 Thessalonians. So he says, I beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, which he had talked about in 1 Thessalonians, and by our gathering together to him, which he had talked about in 1 Thessalonians.
15:19 And then he says that you be not soon shaken in mind. Don't be shaken up or troubled, neither by a spirit, nor by word, nor by letter. As from us, what I wrote, as that the day of Christ is at hand. There was some confusion that they thought that Jesus was about to come in the first century. Some translations say the day of Christ is at hand. Others say the day of Christ has already come. Some people thought he's already here spiritually, and other people thought he's about to return. And then Paul's clarifying this. So in verse 3, he says, So let's just stop there. Paul's writing to Christians in Thessalonica, and he's telling Christians, don't be deceived. So that tells us Christians can be deceived. And the context of this warning is the return of Christ and our being gathered to him. Don't be deceived about this. And then he, and then he, here's a key statement. He says, let no man deceive you by any means for that day. And that day would be the day he described in verse 1. The day is when Jesus comes to gather us. And then he says, that day will not come. The day of Jesus coming to gather the church is not going to come until something happens first. He says, except there come a falling away first. And that man of sin, which is the Antichrist, shall be revealed the son of perdition. So a lot of Christians, those who accept what we talked about in our last program, about dispensationalism, they believe that we're in the church age, the church is going to be raptured, and then there's going to, God's going to refocus on the Jews during the seven years. And that's when the Antichrist is going to come. That's what the Left Behind series teaches. It teaches a rapture first, and then he gathers us, Jesus comes and gathers us, and then the Antichrist comes. But if you look at that text, what's the order? Does he say that Jesus comes to gather us first, and then the Antichrist comes?
17:34 Or does he say the falling away and the Antichrist comes first, and then he's going to gather us? Yeah, there's an order chronologically. There's an order, that's right. And Paul is very clear. He said, don't be deceived by any means, for that day when Jesus is going to come and gather us is not going to happen until the falling away comes first. Very clear. And the man of sin is revealed. Once I was having a Bible study with a Lutheran pastor years ago in Wichita, Kansas, and he'd always been taught that the rapture comes first, then the Antichrist comes. And we were sitting in his living room, and we were studying this, and going right through the verse, and I looked at him and I said, what comes first? The Antichrist, and then Jesus gathers us? Or does Jesus gather us first, and then the Antichrist comes? And he had been taught that Jesus comes and gathers us first, and then the Antichrist comes. And I asked him, so what does Paul say? And he looked at me. He looked at the text. Let no man deceive you, for that day will not come except the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed. And look at me, he said, I never saw that. I never saw that. But Paul's really clear that the falling away and the man of sin come first, before Jesus comes to gather us. Very clear. And then he says, he calls this Antichrist, and actually the word falling away is apostasia, which means there's going to be an apostasy. There's going to be a falling away from Bible truth that's going to happen first. So Paul looked down the line, he said, before Jesus comes, there's going to be this massive falling away. There's going to be an apostasy. And the man of sin is going to come, and this is all going to happen before Jesus comes.
19:27 And this is an apostasy that leads to the man of sin. So the apostasy takes place, and the man of sin rises. And he's called the son of perdition. And the phrase son of perdition is only used twice in the New Testament. Once here about the Antichrist, and the other place is in John 17, where Jesus is praying before he died to his father about his disciples, how he was going to be a son of perdition. And he's going to be a son of perdition. And he's going to be a son of perdition. And he's going to be a son of perdition. And he wants to hold on to his disciples. And Jesus says, none of them, all the ones you gave me, Father, none of my disciples has been lost, except for the son of perdition, only one. And who would that apply? Judas. That's right. So Judas is called the son of perdition. And Judas was a disciple of Christ. He was in the inner circle, but he fell away, and he betrayed Jesus with a kiss. And that's kind of a type of Antichrist. Antichrist is going to come from the inner circle. He's going to claim to be a follower of Jesus, but he's going to betray Christ with a kiss. That's like Antichrist. And so Paul says, the Antichrist will be revealed, the man of sin will be revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes. Now he's describing his character. He will oppose and exalt himself. So there's self-exaltation, above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he, as God, will sit in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Now people interpret this to mean the temple is going to be rebuilt, and the Antichrist is going to go in there after we're gone. But Paul already said that the falling away comes first, and the man of sin goes into the temple, and that takes place before we're gone. That's what he's saying. Yeah. So then the question is, okay, what does this mean? So first of all, a lot of people say the Antichrist is going to, after the rapture, the Antichrist is going to walk into the Jewish temple that's going to be rebuilt somewhere around the Temple Mount, and he's going to sit down and he's going to say, I'm God. But that's not what the text says. The text doesn't say he's going to say, I'm God. It doesn't say that. It says he will sit as a God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
21:49 So he doesn't say, I'm God. In the holy place, most holy place? Well, Because the temple is Yes. Yeah, the temple. See, what is the temple? So when Paul says he's going to do this in the temple of God, what does that mean? Right. So here's the thing. The Greek word that Paul used for temple is a Greek word, naos, N-A-O-S. It's just for those people that have an interest in this, knowing that. It's naos, temple of God, and every time that Paul used the word naos, temple of God, he always applied it to the church. It's, for instance, in 1 Corinthians 3, verse 16, he's writing to the church, and he says, don't you know that you are the naos, the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? In Ephesians 2, verse 22, Paul said that believers in Jesus are being built up into a holy, holy naos, which is the holy temple of the Lord. And so every time Paul uses the phrase temple of God, he's always talking about the church. The church is the temple of God.
23:02 So Antichrist is going to exalt himself in the church. In the church. Now, another reason why we know this is not talking about a rebuilt Jewish temple, it can't be, because if the Jews ever did rebuild that temple and did start sacrificing lambs, or animals, that would be a denial of Christ. Oh, yeah. Because Jesus has already come, he's already the sacrifice, and the temple was, the veil was ripped from top to bottom. So think about this. If the Jews rebuilt the temple, can that temple legitimately be called the temple of God? Can it be God's temple when it denies his son? It's impossible. So it makes much more sense that the temple of God is the church, that the Antichrist, is going to exalt himself in the midst of, and the Protestants applied this to the Pope and to the papal power, because the Pope really sits as God in the temple or the church of God, showing himself that he is God, but he doesn't say it. So we talked about this before on a different program, that when Pope Leo XIV walks around in America, media and other people refer to him as his holiness. And I asked you before, who is his?
24:27 His is God. So if you think about this, here's a man who says, or who accepts the title, that he is the holiness of God. And imagine if I said, you should believe what I'm saying, because guess what? I am the holiness of God himself. So that is self-exaltation. And there's other titles that he applies. He's the holy father. So when the Pope sits in the Vatican and claims authority on St. Peter's chair, authority, and it's amazing when you look at, there's some photographs of him sitting on a white throne with cherubim on both sides. And that's, you know, in the Old Testament, God sat on the throne and the cherubim in the most holy place were surrounding him. So when a man sits and says, I have titles, holy father, his holiness, pontifus maximus, vicar of Jesus Christ, you know, this is a man exalting himself above God and sitting in the temple of God. And that's, you know, that's a man who is exalting himself above God and sitting in the temple of God.
25:48 God showing himself that he is God. The temple meaning the church. That's right. The church. That's the way Protestants understood this text. Protestants didn't understand 2 Thessalonians 2, 5, 4 to apply to after the rapture, the Jews are going to rebuild the temple and the Antichrist is going to come and sit down over there and say, I'm God. They never understood it that way. They understood it to be the apostasy in the history of the church. The rise of the Pope and him sitting inside the church claiming titles that belong to God alone. So this is like when papacy shakes hands with Protestantism type deal then. That's right. This is what this is talking about. This is the dual application. That's right. So they're looking, yeah, so that's the abomination of desolation, which is in the history of the church, which is in the history of Christianity. So the first abomination was when pagan Rome entered the temple.
26:48 And destroyed it and burn it to the ground. The second application is when papal Rome comes into the spiritual temple and claims prerogative that only belong to God himself. And at the end times, you've got Protestant churches uniting with the papacy, which is really an anti-Christian power, according to the best Protestant scholarship. And yet, and there, and the, the Protestants who are uniting with the papacy have completely lost sight of the history of the papacy. And now they're expecting to disappear and the temple to rebuild in Israel and a future antichrist who's not here yet to go into that temple, sit down and say, I'm God. And that whole scenario is diverting them away from the true understanding of prophecy and to the final application of the abomination of desolation at the very end of time. Where, and, and, and the union between Protestantism and Catholicism and spiritualism and the false miracles, which are going to take the world captive.
27:56 Wow. Wow. This all fits together like, like cogs, doesn't it? Well, it does. When you see it all from the big picture and you zoom out, you're like, wow, this is talking about the exact thing this is talking about and all fixed together. That's right. And, and just like we talked about in the last program, people are looking to the Middle East so they don't see what's happening with America and the Vatican. And second Thessalonians two fits perfectly with that. They're interpreting that verse to apply to a future antichrist after the rapture during the seven years and a rebuilt temple. And they're missing what's happening now that the papacy has entered the church and he's exalted himself. And we believe as Adventists that one of the ways that he's manifested his self-exaltation above God is by changing the biblical Sabbath into Sunday. Yeah. Which is, which is, is exalting himself against the creator of heaven and earth.
28:51 And that becomes the big issue at the end of time. And if we're looking to the Middle East and looking to rebuild temple, we're just like the rabbis who were looking for a Messiah to conquer the Romans, exalt the Jews, sit on the throne and, and rule the throne on the throne of David over the nations. And we're, we're, they were looking for a wrong Messiah. Right. And that Messiah never came. Because the real Messiah came. And so people that are looking for a rapture seven years rebuilt temple future antichrist, they're looking at a scenario that's never going to come just like the rabbis saw a sequence and it never came and people are looking for a future sequence and they're missing it. They're missing what's really happening. Just like the rabbis were missing the real Messiah. So the Christian world is missing the real message, which is the three angels messages about the creator and the commandments and the Sabbath and the warning about the beast and the mark of the beast in revelation 14.
29:54 They're missing all that because they're looking in the wrong direction. So what do you think about, and so my, my brain's going two different directions here, but we got, we got to get, got to get your brain going in one direction. I can't, I can't talk about my brain's going in two different directions. What do you think about there? There has been an author that has, talked extensively about this topic and country living and where it's been 10 years, maybe 15 years now. I don't remember the exact details, but it was very interesting where they talked about how, when the standards are set up and the, the, this whole thing handshake happens, then it'll be time to move and run to the hills.
30:46 Kind of, what the, what the Bible says in the second application, right? But there was a first application before that as well. And I, I forgive me. This is, I think I know what you're talking about. So as I mentioned, I see, I see three applications to the abomination of desolation. The first one was in 70 AD when the Roman armies came on to the holy ground of Jerusalem with their standards, their pagan standards. And then they eventually destroyed the temple and the city and burned it to the ground. First application. Second application is based on Daniel 11 that there would be an abomination of desolation that would be set up. And I see against the priesthood of Christ they would, and Daniel eight, he would, you know, cast down the sanctuary and the priestly ministry of Christ.
31:34 And he would set up an abomination desolation, which was the counterfeit priesthood of the Roman Catholic church and his entering into the temple of God and exalting himself, which was an abomination. And the sign of God, you have a man claiming to be God sitting in God's church and saying, I've got all authority and I've got the authority to change the Sabbath into Sunday. That's abominable to God. And then the final application is when, uh, just like pagan Rome entered the temple, papal Rome and to the temple when papal Rome and Protestantism make its final move together and they enforce Sunday, uh, which is, goes back to paganism Sunday, the day of the sun. And when that fine, when that Sunday law is passed, the application of fleeing to the mountains were told in some of the writings that we study that when sun is enforced by law, you know, it's time, it's time to get out the final, the final call to get out.
32:36 Although we've been hearing a call for a long time to come out of the cities. That's why you live in the country. Uh, so many of us live in the country because we, uh, we want to be out of the city and in an area where we can raise our children and in a safer environment, we can hear the voice of God instead of the concrete jungle and all the sirens and the ambulances and et cetera. Very good. And so, um, I think that the call to leave for the mountains has been going on for a while, at least within our church. And I think there's like one last call. And the final call is when, when Sunday is enforced by law. Very fascinating. Thank you so much. do you have any, I mean, I know we looked at that last time, last episode, we talked about some of the material had, but if we want to study more about this specific topic about the sanctuary, maybe about the applications that we've done here, do you have any material on that?
33:34 Yeah, well, we have that little track there that you have, which is kind of an entry level. It's just came out called Israel and Armageddon that that points people away. From a Jewish middle East emphasis on prophecy to the emphasis focusing on Jesus and his people in the new and the new Jerusalem. One that we have that deals more with second Thessalonians two and the rapture and the seven years and those issues would probably be in time delusions. This would be the biggest book that we have that deals with those issues. It's a, and we're talking about, we do have, so this book also the light at the end, although it doesn't call it the abomination of desolation, but it does deal with, with the papal power, America and the enforcement of Sunday, the mark of the beast. So that's, that's a sharing book.
34:31 The other, the other, the little track in the book in time delusions show people where the false view is wrong. And then the light at the end focuses on what's the right view. Who is the real beast? You know, who sits in the temple of God showing himself that he's God and who is the second beast that has two horns, like a lamb and speaks like a dragon and how they work together to enforce the mark of the beast during the time of counterfeit miracles. So one book, the two of the little track and this other book focus on why the whole middle East focus is not correct. And then the light at the end says, well, if that's not right, what is right? And then it points you to the true understanding of revelation 13 and verse 14. And we try to make Jesus the center of everything that really ultimately, you know, the rabbis made a big mistake. They were looking for a Messiah who didn't come. And the real Messiah came right in front of them and they crucified him. And in today, people are crucifying truth, just like the rabbis crucified and pressured pilot to crucify Christ.
35:38 And so Jesus is being crucified again in the crucifixion of truth, truth in these end times. And the people of God that are preaching this truth are being rejected and spurned and, and mocked. But truth is truth and truth is, I think it was John Huss who said, whoever speaks the truth breaks his neck. And you know that when you speak the truth, when the truth came into the world, truth was crucified 2000 years ago and truth is being crucified today, but truthful win. And we need to hold on to it. We know, we need to hold on to Jesus and the truth and the Bible, no matter what anybody says, and he will bring us through. That's what we need. Wow. Thank you so much. This has been fantastic. And I will definitely have to get my hands on these. Thank you. You're welcome, Bradley. Thank you for having me. You want to have a prayer to close us out or sure. Be happy to do it. Dear father in heaven.
36:39 We've looked at big issues. We've probably stepped on some toes. Don't we don't want to do that, but we do. We want to teach the truth that's entered in Jesus. And we want to expose the real antichrist who sits in the temple, showing himself that he is God. Jesus Christ is God. And we need to focus on Jesus. Since our senior help us to study these things, to learn these things, give us the Holy spirit, help us not to be deceived by any means. As Paul warned, be not deceived, but no man to see you by any means. And help us. All of us focus on the Bible and Jesus and to get ready for him. May we all be there together. We pray in Jesus name. Amen.
