Good morning everyone, it's good to see you.
Before you think we changed our plans again, Brother Gerhard will be with us next week, but today he's not feeling up to it,
a little under the weather.
So, without him, we will be talking about the enemy's battle cry, the events that are happening in this time as we're entering into the day,
respectively the year of the Lord,
like we talked about last week.
There are many things that are happening, and so we're going to be talking about some of those.
Looking especially at what is happening on the enemy's side of the battle.
So, just to begin with, I want to remind us of the setting that we're in.
We're talking about Revelation 19.
Verse 15 is where it specifically talks about the symbols that we see in the Horologium.
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword that with it he should smite the nations, and he shall rule them with a rod of iron,
and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
So, we talked a couple weeks ago about how we see the cross in the Horologium, how we come to that,
and that gives us the illustration of Jesus,
because Jesus was hung on a cross.
And therefore, when it says there's a sharp sword coming out of his mouth, his mouth on the cross would be right about in the middle.
And so, the sharp sword is that pendulum line represented by that part of the constellation.
And then we have this rod of iron, also a rod of iron like the rod of the pendulum.
And there's the sword, just to illustrate it.
And we also have the winepress.
We've seen how in ancient times the winepress, they threw the grapes into one area and they trod it under their feet,
and then it would drain out into a smaller receptacle,
and that carries the shape of this pendulum clock.
And so, we see all of these symbols represented in the Horologium.
And so, that is the setting that we are talking about here in Revelation 19.
So, when we look at this in the context of the sign of the Son of Man, here are the comets of the sign.
We're just looking at the close-up of the Horologium.
We have comet E3 coming over.
And what date does it cross for the second time the pendulum?
May 28th, exactly.
Just a few days ago; a little over a week.
And then we have this period of 372 days.
That's what we're in now.
That's that day or year of the Lord, of his vengeance, of retribution.
But at the same time, it's the year of his redeemed.
We talked about all that before, but that is what we're looking at.
And I just want to focus a little bit on those crossing points today,
because that is where we see some of the events that the sign is pointing to.
Because at those times when it is crossing, then we can see the sword that God is using, if you will, to smite the earth,
as it says in the verse,
that he should smite the nations with that sharp sword out of his mouth.
So once again, we've seen the relationship between that sword and what organization does this logo represent?
The World Health Organization, exactly.
So we see that relationship there with the serpent on the pole, and that is illustrated loosely with the comet kind of, in a figure,
wrapping around the pole of the pendulum.
And since this is the six o'clock hour, we see three points where the comet crosses that six o'clock line, first coming through here,
then there,
and then coming around later one more time.
And so we see this very negative connotation associated with the pendulum.
And that might seem a little bit contradictory at first when we think about it being the sword that Jesus is using.
Does he use the World Health Organization?
Well, I would like to point out a verse in Isaiah that gives us a precedent for that.
Because he says through the prophecy, O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.
So we're in this time now of God's indignation, his anger, when he's expressing his wrath.
And he used people before, the Assyrians.
It was the kingdom of Assyria that carried away Israel the first time.
And they were the rod that the Lord used.
It was the rod in his hand that he used to discipline his people.
It's understandable then that he is indeed using these evil institutions on the earth,
such as the World Health Organization and those that are connected with it,
to smite the nations,
because the nations are in rebellion against him.
And first of all, he wants to wake up his people.
We'll see that also again.
Looking at these crossings, the first crossing was at what time?
Exactly, February 20th, 2024.
That was the day that Comet E3 crossed that line between the two stars of the pendulum.
And on that very day, Tuesday, the 20th of February, 2024,
was the televised launch of the Global Initiative on Digital Health by the World Health Organization.
So that is a key marker that God is using the clock to point to, saying, pay attention to what's going on here.
This initiative with global health is related to the number of the beast, you know, which is connected with the 666, like we saw.
So this is one of the components.
Something is going on with this digital health initiative that we need to be aware of, and it's related to this number of the beast,
and how the beast will be enforcing no buying and selling in the end.
And of course,
we already can see more or less how that is likely to pan out with the digital
health passports and the need to fulfill whatever the obligation might be,
whether it be to get a vaccination or something else in order to have access to whatever services or purchasing
you might want to do that will be restricted if you don't have your health things in order.
Making the health aspects digital makes it possible for them to enforce this no buying or selling.
The next point on the line is (we mentioned it already) May 28th, and that was in the midst of the World Health Assembly,
which is where the World Health Organization gathers together,
and they actually do their voting.
That's the important part.
When everybody comes together, they've done all their homework through the year, and then they come together at this meeting,
the World Health Assembly,
and that's when they make the decisions and they refine the things when they're together.
And this was during the 77th World Health Assembly, which began on May 27th,
and there were some interesting developments that came out of this meeting that is pointed to on the clock.
One of them, the World Health Organization member states agree to a way forward to conclude the pandemic agreement.
So this pandemic agreement is something that has been in the process.
It's been drafted a couple years ago, and now at this World Health Assembly, they agreed how they're going to go forward with this plan.
It was a little bit in question for a while because the nations were having some disagreements, but at this meeting,
they decided and they had a plan for going forward.
And particularly this decision, in fact, this news is from the day of May 28th when the comet crossed the pendulum.
So that was the actual day when they settled on this plan forward.
Now, there's another thing that happened on that day.
There's a connected organization that is called the Essential Immunization Program.
They're the ones that decide what immunizations children should have or people should have around the world.
What are the essential ones?
And they had a 50-year celebration from the time that they were first organized in 1974.
And they celebrated that on May 28th, 2024.
Now, it's interesting because the Director General of the World Health Organization spoke at that meeting.
He gave a short talk, and I want to show you a clip from that.
That is very interesting.
With continued research, investment, and collaboration, we can save millions more lives in the next 50 years.
So there he finishes.
But you know the serious challenge that's posed by anti-vaxxers.
And I think we need to strategize to really push back because vaccines work.
Vaccines affect adults.
And we have science, evidence on our side.
I think it's time to be more aggressive in pushing back on anti-vaxxers.
They use COVID as an opportunity and all the havoc they're creating.
Maybe that's one of the messages also I would like to include to whatever I have said.
And thank you to all panelists.
So, this was just a short talk that he was reading from the paper.
And then you saw how he put the paper down and then he just started talking off the script from his heart.
And you see what really is on his heart.
He's talking about this is the immunization program that he's speaking to this audience.
They're having a dinner.
And so they're talking about their successes.
And then he lays that down and he says, but you know there's this real bad problem that we have with these anti-vaxxers.
And we have to be more aggressive against them.
So this really shows the target where they're focusing their attention.
And yes, he said you have to strategize.
We need to sit down and really decide how we're going to tackle this, what they would consider an enemy.
Because they apparently have too much of a voice.
Because sometimes the voice of common sense can influence people.
So yeah, there you have a taste of what we can expect in this coming time.
And that sets the stage for the war.
This is a war that we're in.
And he's having, he's calling for a strategy session.
We need to sit down and strategize how we're going to do this war so that we can be successful against the so-called anti-vaxxers.
Yes, being more aggressive in that battle.
So that's a very significant statement that he made showing where this is going.
And most likely, that's connected with the third woe as it is described in the Bible.
Because we saw how the first two woes were connected also with the coronavirus and the vaccination theme.
So it would make sense that what's coming in the future in this time is connected with that same theme as well.
So we have to keep a watch on that.
The World Health Assembly agreement reached on wide-ranging decisive package of amendments to improve the international health regulations.
Now, this is another outcome.
This was from the 1st of June.
That was the ending date of the World Health Assembly.
This meeting that took place across the pendulum marking as the comet was indicating.
And this is kind of a conclusion at the end.
Then they published this saying they've decided on a package of amendments strengthening the international health regulations.
So what that is, is a set of regulations to which the nations would subscribe that then they would be governed by.
And they like to say, to debunk the conspiracy theories,
the official narrative says that there's no taking over of the sovereignty of the nations.
It's completely voluntary.
Nobody has to do anything.
But the thing is, once the nations subscribe to this international health regulation, then they are bound by it.
It's true they don't have to, but they choose to.
And that's what we can expect in this time is that the nations will be giving their influence and subscribing to these
health regulations that then give the World Health Organization the authority that it needs to regulate those nations.
So yeah, it's true the World Health Organization isn't taking away the sovereignty of the nations.
The nations volunteer their sovereignty to the World Health Organization.
That's the way it works.
So it's really kind of a trick that they're playing when they say that.
Because the net effect is the nations are subservient to these regulations from the World Health Organization.
But it's interesting because in the Bible, it even tells us exactly how it works.
In Revelation chapter 17, it says, And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet.
In Daniel, there was a beast with ten horns.
And they represented the ten divisions of Rome that became the nations of Europe.
And by extension, that represents the completion of the world.
So it's a symbolic language just speaking of the realm of the world.
The World Health Organization fits that dominion.
And so these ten kings have received no kingdom as yet.
And that is fitting, right?
The United Nations, which the World Health Organization is a part of, it's just an international organization.
But it doesn't really have any jurisdiction.
Until, then we read on, and it says, As yet, they have received no kingdom.
But they receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
And how does that happen?
This began in 2015, this one hour with the beast, when Pope Francis came to the United Nations and he spoke at the General Assembly in 2015.
And he said, well, what does that have to do with it?
The interesting thing is that this was a very significant time on the Orion Clock.
That was what God was using at that time to direct our attention to these things.
And in fact, it was on the day of Yom Kippur when the Pope stood at the United Nations and addressed the world from there.
And so this was the beginning.
You know, they won't come out and directly say, okay, I'm the king of the world now.
So you have to read between the lines.
And you have to understand that the nations are not ignorant of the symbolism of bringing
the Pope in to speak in front of the United Nations and to give his agenda.
And they regard very highly his encyclicals, where he gives the dictates of how things should be ordered in the world.
And so this was the beginning of the hour.
And on the Orion Clock, how long is an hour?
Seven years, exactly.
So seven years after 2015 would bring you to what?
2022, exactly.
So what happened in 2022?
This was when the pandemic treaty was drafted in 2022.
So that's when they formulated everything they needed and put it into that package.
And then what happened on the pendulum line, that was when they agreed to go forward with this plan.
And they worked out the amendments and things that they needed to do.
But continuing in Revelation 17, in verse 13, it says, These have one mind, the nations of the world, they have one mind,
and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
The beast doesn't say, I lord my authority over you.
No, they give their power to the beast.
That's exactly what we see happening with this pandemic treaty and with the seven years that went before it.
They had one mind working together with the beast, and they gave their power to the beast.
Ultimately, to the papacy, because although the beast is perhaps technically the United Nations.
But we see through the signal photos of the Pope's standing there in front of the United Nations,
that he's really the big man in charge behind the scenes.
And that's also corroborated by other prophetic decisions.
And descriptions in the Bible.
And it's worthy of note on that line, that in 2022, that same year, seven years later,
one hour--one Orion hour afterward-- is when the Holy See gave its accession to the Climate Convention and the Paris Agreement.
So they officially joined the Paris Agreement, that's the climate deal that was formed in 2015,
and also the whole convention on which it is based.
And so in this way, by joining into this agreement, they now have a voice.
They have directive influence, and not just an observer to those things.
And that makes a difference.
Now he has an actual say in how things are unfolding.
In this article, it says, with both of these instruments, the accession to the Climate Convention and to the Paris Agreement,
to which are attached a declaration by the Holy See.
The Holy See intends to contribute and to give its moral support to the efforts of all states to cooperate
in accordance with their common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities.
Now, this is an interesting thing, because when we look at what those words really mean, we can understand what the Pope's role is in this.
He gives its moral support.
Now,
you can understand that moral support is like just being there and supporting and encouraging the efforts of those who are working there.
Or you could understand that in a more literal sense, as offering a support of a moral character.
The Pope is a religious authority in the world, and so he gives his religious support, and then it's interesting also how it expresses that,
to the efforts of all states to cooperate.
So, in other words, the papacy is giving its support to encourage the nations to cooperate with this agreement, with the climate agenda.
And it's not specified exactly how that moral support would appear.
What methods would be used to encourage the nations to cooperate?
So, that's interesting how it is expressed there, and it shows that the Vatican has more than just a common role,
but it's actually giving authority and exerting that influence and authority over the process.
As we look at the Pope's role or the papacy's role in these events, this coming September,
Pope Francis may visit the United States after the UN invitation.
So, again, in 2024, the United Nations has invited Pope Francis to speak in front of the United Nations.
So, it's kind of, again, reiterating their willingness and intent to give their power to him, showing that they are on his side,
that he is the leader of the nations of the world.
So, he hasn't completely committed to it, but he says he may accept their invitation.
And additionally, he will be participating in the G7 session on artificial intelligence, which is in Italy, not far from where he's at.
So, he has influence in various realms.
Of course, these are the seven most powerful, most wealthy nations.
This is the first time in history that a Pope would join in with this G7 group.
So, we see that the papacy is definitely not just involved, but leading.
Maybe not so obviously, but when we connect the dots, we can see that he is definitely the one behind it.
So, finishing off the passage in Revelation 17, these nations shall make war with the Lamb, that is, Jesus,
and the Lamb shall overcome them,
for he is Lord of lords and King of kings.
They that are with him are called and chosen and faithful.
So, notice there's the Lamb whom they war against, but there are also those that are with him.
So, if they're with the Lamb and the Lamb is at war, then the war is also involving them.
We see that this sword is indeed the sword of the World Health Organization and the way that they are constructing
the things so that it brings the people into bondage and prevents them from living a normal life during this year.
That is the time frame that we're looking at with this war.
In Isaiah, again, prophetically, he says, Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, talking about God's people,
which hath drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his fury.
So, that's pointing to the horologium again, the wine, the cup of his fury.
Jerusalem drinks that wine.
And, of course, in this context, Jerusalem, we're not talking the literal Jerusalem in Israel, but God's people,
those who believe in Christ by faith.
These are the children of Abraham, the new Israel or Jerusalem.
So, why is his nation drinking that cup of his fury?
Okay, they have to endure the tribulation.
And why?
Why do God's people have to endure tribulation?
Why did they in the old times?
Their rebellion, Jerusalem and God's people in general, Israel, rebelled against God.
They forsook his law.
They went against him.
They were apostate.
And so it is with God's people today.
The church, a large majority of the church is apostate.
They receive this cup of fury at God's hand because of their apostasy.
And this is what is used to bring them back.
And therefore, they have to go through this time of tribulation, just like ancient Israel.
God sent them to Babylon.
He allowed Nebuchadnezzar to come or Assyria to take the first 10 tribes, not because he forsook them, but to discipline them.
And then later, they returned.
And so that's what this is talking about here.
They drink the cup of his fury.
And he says, thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling and wrung them out.
So it's finished there.
And this brings us to another story in the Bible that relates to this time.
And that is the story of Esther.
And I just want to focus on a couple of verses here in Esther chapter 3 and verses 12 to 13.
You know the story where Haman convinced the king that there's this bad people in your land and you need to get rid of them.
And he did all of this and got the king's signature without him really understanding what was going on.
And then it says, then were the king's scribes called on the 13th day of the first month.
And there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the
king's lieutenants and to the governors that were over every province.
So after Haman had gotten the king to sign all this stuff, then the king said, okay, get the scribes and they write it all out.
And they did that on the 13th day of the first month.
And to the rulers of every people of every province,
according to the writing thereof and to every people after their language in the
name of the king Ahasuerus was it written and sealed with the king's ring.
So this is when they sealed this decision of Haman to execute the Jews who were in the land, God's people that were captive in the land.
And that's, it's very similar to what we see happening,
what we just saw with the World Health Organization director saying that we need to be more aggressive against those evil anti-vaxxers.
There's a people in your land that don't obey the laws.
Not that it was true, but it convinced the king to give his assent to Haman.
And in today's language or context, it's a similar thing where they think all these evil things about those anti-vaxxers,
not understanding the principles that govern their actions.
So continuing on, then it says, and the letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces to destroy, to kill,
and to cause to perish all Jews,
both young and old,
little children and women in one day,
even upon the 13th day of the 12th month,
which is the month Adar,
and to take the spoil of them for a prey.
So they specified a particular day in which this action would be taken against the Jews in the days of Esther.
And it's very interesting that it was the 13th day of the 12th month.
So first, it was the 13th day of the first month, then it's the 13th day of the 12th month.
And that's just about one year.
And we see the same time frame that we're looking at here in the sign of the Son of Man.
That one year time frame from the announcement,
the call that we need to be more aggressive and strategize how we will defeat those anti-vaxxers.
And then there's a time marked on the clock.
And even in the World Health Assembly, where they voted on the pandemic treaty, the path forward for the timeline,
how they will bring it into effect,
they specified one year or less.
That's when they want all the nations to get their act in order and join this pandemic agreement.
So we see that parallel with the story of Esther.
One year from the time that it was declared until the proposed execution of it.
And so we see the two times represented in the sign of the Son of Man from the two comets.
This one specifying the duration, but this is at the winepress.
This is representing those who are not sealed with God's seal.
But we need God's seal to endure this time.
This is for those who suffer under the sword of the Lord's discipline, if you will.
But on this side, we have the same duration, but the other comet represents those who are spared from that hour.
They have the seal of the Holy Spirit that we've talked about recently.
That mu from the name of the respective star in Orion.
You know, we have the Alpha and Omega for Alnitak of Orion representing Jesus.
Alnitak is the central star.
That's that star that has his new name.
That's why we often conclude our prayers in the name of Alnitak, because that's the new name of Jesus.
Many people like to speak of Yeshua, which is not his new name, but his old name, even going back into the Hebrew.
But here we have, indeed, a new name for Jesus.
And that's described even in Jesus's letter to the Church of Philadelphia in Revelation 3.
12.
So anyway, Alpha and Omega.
Also, the star Alnilam for the Father.
Also in Greek, Alpha.
Just like Jesus said, I and my Father are one.
And then that third star, Mintaka, the Mu.
That letter M represents water from ancient times.
The letter used to directly symbolize, graphically, that form of water.
So that fits very well with the biblical symbol of water.
And we see the shape of the letter in the sign.
And that's the part that seals God's people in this time.
Those who endure all the way through to the end.
Whereas on the other side, they don't have that seal of protection to bring them through.
I want to, at this point, look at a prophetic quote from Ellen White.
This comes from early writings in page 282.
And she says, "Then I saw the leading men of the earth consulting together, and Satan and his angels busy around them.
I saw a writing, copies of which were scattered in different parts of the land."
Now what does that sound like?
Probably it would correspond with this pandemic agreement.
And that is, of course, being scattered in different parts of the world.
And surely Satan and his angels are busy working to get this thing pushed forward.
Just as the leaders at the World Health Assembly were up late trying to get everything ironed
out so that they could get the votes they needed to get the agreement on the path forward.
But then she continues, and she says, they're "giving orders that unless the saints should yield their peculiar faith,"
Now think about this in today's context.
Peculiar faith being, we stand for our principles and we won't yield the body because we believe our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.
And we don't want to receive mRNA adulteration of our body temple.
That's a principle that we live by.
That's our peculiar faith.
And then she says something interesting.
She says that "unless they should yield their peculiar faith and give up the Sabbath and observe the
first day of the week, the people were at liberty after a certain time to put them to death."
So this part, putting them to death, that connects with Esther.
And it also connects with, like we mentioned last week, how the vaccination is not just one death, but both the first and the second death.
So that's connected with this whole theme.
The question is, what is the Sabbath--observing the Sabbath--doing in the middle of this quote?
Now, that's where we have to understand that Ellen White was a prophet to the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
She lived in the better part of the 19th century.
She died in 1915, shortly after the turn of the century.
So looking at this chart that we have seen in the last few weeks, this is our High Sabbath list.
We pointed out how there is this special time in 1888 to 1890 that correlates also with these other times that I've marked in gold.
I don't have time to review the details of that.
There's a lot that can be said there and clarified for sure.
But this important time frame defines how we come to all of these orange-colored periods of time.
And it was in this time that there was a special test for the Adventist people,
and that was when there was a bill put forward in the United States.
It was called the Sunday Rest Bill from Senator Blair, and that would require the people to rest on Sunday,
which was a problem for the Seventh-day believers who rested on Saturday.
So this actually, in some localities,
was enough to put people in prison already for breaking the Sunday Rest Bill because they were
plowing their fields or doing their work on Sunday when they were supposed to be resting.
And of course, the Bible says, six days you shall labor and the seventh day you rest.
It specifies both rest and labor.
So this was the test in Ellen White's time.
It was about the Sabbath.
It was directly about the Sabbath.
1888 to 1890 was a prominent time in the midst of her ministry to the church.
And then she died later in 1915.
Then, the world is hardly the same place after more than 100 years since her time.
And today, it's no longer about the Sabbath.
But in fact, we go through the whole High Sabbath list, and then, like we talked about before, now we are going back through it,
correcting those issues that were done wrong in the church,
and now they're being corrected,
like the body's immune system correcting those things that went wrong with the infection.
And so here in this part, we see that the corresponding year is 2022.
This is then the beginning of the pandemic treaty.
So in her prophecy, which was given to the people of the 19th century, in fact, that was in a book that was written back in this time frame.
So it was even before all of this developed.
So it was looking forward to this test with the Sabbath.
And that's why she expressed it in terms of keeping the Sabbath and not honoring the Sunday.
But in our day, it's a different test.
The corresponding test is with this pandemic treaty and the manipulation of the genes that God gave us in our very bodies.
You'll notice we talked a little bit about this one last week.
In all three of these tests, what is the common element?
They all came from Eden.
The Sabbath was after the first six days.
Then God instituted the Sabbath, and he said, based on that, I created the world in six days and rested the Sabbath, so you do that as well.
That's where the Sabbath came from.
Then we have the test which was about marriage.
And marriage--what was the first marriage in the Bible?
Adam and Eve going back to Eden.
And then, of course, now we're dealing right at the biological level,
which is the bloodline that continued from the time of Adam until this generation.
Only influenced by natural means until now.
That which has been described in the Bible in Daniel, the continual, continuing since the beginning, since Eden,
we've had a continual line of genetics that has been passed from generation to generation.
And now we're seeing an abomination coming in to that body temple and defiling that, taking away this continual,
the genetics from the line of Adam.
So this is the modern test that should be understood in the prophecy from Ellen White.
When she talks about the Sabbath and Sunday,
she was referring to this test that would have developed and been a severe test for the people had they been faithful to God at that time.
But because they weren't, more time was allowed, and then God brought us all the way back to that same point, even the same test,
if you will,
but expressed in a different form.
All three of them united in Eden, pointing to Jesus as our creator from the very beginning.
Just to read a little bit more in that prophecy, then she says, "But in this hour of trial,"
"this hour of trial,"
That's an hour on the horologium clock, that's what we're talking about, "this hour of trial,"
exactly this year that we are beginning now.
"This hour of trial, the saints were calm and composed, trusting in God and
leaning upon His promise that a way of escape would be made for them."
Now what does that remind you of?
Who is it that is granted to escape?
Philadelphia, exactly.
In Revelation 3.
10, Jesus gives a promise to His people represented by Philadelphia.
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, or the hour of trial, same word,
which shall come upon all the world to try them that dwell upon the earth.
So He keeps Philadelphia from that hour, and therefore His people can trust that He will make a way of escape.
So understand, there are two classes of God's people.
There are those who have not been sealed, as it were, and they have to pass through death.
They go through that trial.
They're Smyrna, like we've talked about in the past.
Jesus says to them, be faithful unto death, and I will give you a crown of life.
They are represented by this path over there.
Whereas those who are spared from that hour of trial, they are Philadelphia, whom He keeps, because they have kept the word of His patience.
And that's an important point also.
They are aware of the time.
Patience is about time.
They express the word of His patience.
They guard that as a treasure, and therefore He keeps them from the hour of temptation.
And indeed, we see them represented there in Orion, in, if you will, in his hand.
You can imagine it like the path is in his hand, in Orion's hand.
And that brings our attention to John chapter 10, when he says, my sheep, hear my voice.
Yeah, his voice speaking from heaven.
In other words, they keep the word of His patience.
Similar expression.
And I know them, and they follow me.
They follow me like the 144,000, the virgins who follow the lamb whithersoever he goeth.
And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish.
Neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
No man shall pluck them out of the hand of Orion, as it were.
So this is a promise for us in this time, that we can trust that whatever trials are coming on the world,
God has a way of escape for those who have kept the word of His patience.
And if not, if we are among those who need that discipline,
then we can rest in the assurance of His promise that when we're faithful unto death,
He will give us a crown of life.
And so with that, I will close.
But we will see how all of these things are coming together.
And next week, we will be talking more about these things that are developing.
And I think that will be an interesting revelation as well.
So with that, let's stand for a word of prayer.
Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for this Sabbath day.
We thank you for your guidance and for your promises.
You promise to those who have kept the word of your patience that you will keep them from this hour of trial, this year as we see it,
represented by the 372 days around the Horologium clock.
Therefore, we put our trust in you that whatever comes in this time, you will make a way of escape.
And yet, those who do not have that blessing, you still extend mercy to them,
and you give them that promise that if they are faithful unto death,
you will give them a crown of life.
And that is a beautiful and precious promise as well.
And we pray that many will be turned to righteousness as it is prophesied in your word in this time,
and that they will indeed be faithful unto death and be encouraged by the words
that you have given through your people and to your people for this time.
We thank you, we love you,
and we thank you especially for holding us in your hand and not allowing that any man would pluck us from your hand.
We praise you, and we thank you, and we pray these things in the name of Jesus Alnitak.
Amen.
Thank you very much, and we will see you again next week when we can talk more about the developments that are happening at this time.
