0:40Today we have the last Sunday of the
0:43month of Mess and next Sunday will be
0:46the the last Sunday of the whole Coptic
0:48year. So these are the last two Sundays
0:51of the Coptic year, you know. um Nairo
0:55is coming. So it's going to be
0:5814 days maybe less less than 14 days. So
1:02the beginning of the Coptic year Coptic
1:04year is coming very soon. So the last
1:06two Sundays
1:09the church
1:11dedicated to a subject
1:14the the people who study theology know
1:17as esquetology.
1:19Say what's this Aun a curse word?
1:22Escathology. What's escology?
1:25>> End of
1:26>> that the study
1:29the discipline of the end of times
1:33subject that from the time
1:36of the prophets even before Christ
1:38people have been thinking about
1:41and wondering
1:43what will happen at the end of times.
1:44Will we go on forever and ever and ever
1:46in this or there's going to be something
1:49happening to this existence to that mode
1:53of existence we're going to it's going
1:55to kind of come to end
1:58the the disciples
2:01asked Jesus one time
2:04about this and it is in Mark 13 and
2:08Matthew 24 very famous chapter in
2:10Matthew just keep it in your mind how
2:12many chapters in Matthew 28 8 chapter 24
2:15four chapters before the resurrection
2:17before the end of the gospel Jesus
2:19speaks about esquetology he's giving us
2:21hints is he interested for us to know
2:24yes does Jesus want us to know about
2:27what will happen at the end of times
2:29absolutely yes
2:31in turn we need to study what he had
2:34said
2:36what do we say in the creed at the very
2:40end of the creed what do we say we
2:42believe in unholy Catholic and apostolic
2:45church. We confess one baptism for the
2:49remission of sins. We await the
2:52resurrection of the dead and the life of
2:56the age to come. For we do await that.
3:00No one who loves Jesus would say, "I
3:02want to stay here." You really truly
3:04love him like anybody who you miss and
3:07your heart is like there's a tug there
3:09to go to him. you're going to be looking
3:11for the resurrection of the dead as
3:12something very good, excellent,
3:15something desirable more than anything
3:17else.
3:19Um, let me tell you about this. So,
3:23today we have this reading from Mark and
3:25it's Mark 13 which very much correlates
3:28to Matthew 24. And I'm going to go to
3:31Matthew. So, because we already listened
3:32to Mark, we're going to go to Matthew
3:34and pick up something more.
3:37In Mark, uh the story is that Jesus is
3:40sitting on the mountain of olives
3:42opposite the temple. Anybody here went
3:45to the holy land?
3:47Yeah. What's the best view of Jerusalem?
3:51From the mountain of olives across. It's
3:54a the mountain the Jerusalem is on a a
3:57hill called Mount Zion.
4:00There's a little valley. Then you go to
4:02a bigger hill. They call it mountain
4:04there because they don't have real
4:05mountains. And it's the mountain of
4:08olives, Mount Zion. And you can see the
4:11temple. And today we have the Dome of
4:14the Rock. The Muslims have put their
4:15mosque on top of the place where the
4:17temple is, which kills the Jews
4:19internally. So they have the Dome of the
4:22Rock which has a golden dome, very
4:24famous from the pictures. And then you
4:26climb, you go down to valley of Kedron,
4:28come up and there's a mountain of
4:30olives. You sit there, you see Jerusalem
4:32under you. You see the whole that's the
4:35picture you find on the internet. So it
4:39it says here he sat on the mountain of
4:41olives on this high hill looking down at
4:44the temple. Peter, James, John and
4:46Andrew asked him privately
4:48tell us when will these things be? What
4:51is what are they talking about? And what
4:53will be the sign when all these things
4:55will be fulfilled?
4:57That's why I want to give you this is a
4:58very summarized version of what they
5:00asked really asked something more than
5:02that. And why did they ask it? So I'm
5:04going to go to Matthew. Matthew gives a
5:07little bit more details about the
5:09circumstances of this question. They did
5:12not question the Lord out of nothing. He
5:16had said something made them have that
5:20question. It was actually on Palm Sunday
5:24after Jesus going through Jerusalem and
5:26people shouting for him hosana hosana
5:30that he went out
5:32from the temple and his disciples came
5:35up to show him the buildings of the
5:37temple. Temple was very impressive. I
5:39want to tell you Herod the great which
5:41is the one who killed the Bethlehem
5:43children who wanted to kill Jesus was a
5:46master builder made a lot of big
5:49buildings and this is one of them it's a
5:51monument
5:52very impressive so the disciples were
5:54showing Jesus look look how big these
5:56buildings are and what did Jesus say do
6:00you not see all these things assuredly
6:03means for sure I say to you not one
6:06stone shall be left here upon another
6:09that shall not be thrown down. And true
6:12enough, there is no stones of the
6:14building left except that one wall.
6:17One wall. It's a retaining wall. Anybody
6:20here understand what's a retaining wall?
6:22>> A wall you build to keep the soil from
6:25falling.
6:27That was not done to build the temple on
6:29top of the that soil. And what do they
6:32call this wall today?
6:35The crying wall or the wailing wall. You
6:37see the Jews standing in front of it
6:38doing this in front of the wall and
6:41saying their lamentations about the
6:43temple. So Jesus had prophesied this for
6:4630 40 years before it happened.
6:50And then he sat on the mountain of
6:52olives. That's the scene we saw in Mark.
6:53The disciples came to him privately
6:57saying so what did he say?
7:01The temple will be destroyed. Not one
7:04stone will remain. So the to continue
7:06the discussion that was in the temple.
7:08Now they left the temple, they left
7:10Jerusalem, climbed up the mountain of
7:12olives and he sits there. They're asking
7:14him a follow-up question. Tell us when
7:18will these things be
7:21and what will be the sign of your coming
7:25and of the end of the age? Okay, wait a
7:28second here.
7:30Anybody can tell me what the disciples
7:32thinking.
7:36It's the end of the ages.
7:37>> Exactly.
7:39That the time of the destruction of the
7:41temple means the end of
7:44>> the world to the Jews. That's correct.
7:48And that's a question that they will
7:49never be able to answer. How come that
7:52the temple is down and we still have
7:55time 2,000 years later?
7:59They have no answer. I have done that
8:02before. I've asked Jewish people about
8:04how do you think about this? Zimba
8:07should be the end of time. When it's
8:08done, it's done. It's almost like your u
8:11your uh your stopwatch.
8:14The temple is a stopwatch. You stop it,
8:18everything stops.
8:20So they have the same idea. Tell us when
8:23will these things the temple will be
8:24knocked down and what will be the sign
8:26of your coming and of the end of age.
8:28This is the question that in answering
8:31it in the gospels, the two stories got
8:34mixed up. The story of the temple and
8:38the story of the end of the time. So
8:39when you read it, don't get confused. It
8:41seems like the two are actually made
8:44into one stories because the question
8:46was both of them at the same time until
8:48the gospel was written. That was the
8:51belief, the expectations. Okay? And then
8:55Jesus said answered and said take heed
8:57that no one deceives you. And he speaks
9:00about many people will come in his name
9:03saying I'm the Christ. It happened there
9:05then at that time many people came. And
9:09the book of acts speak about that. And
9:11you will hear of wars and rumors of
9:13wars. See that you are not troubled. For
9:16all these things must come to pass but
9:18the end is not yet. For nation will rise
9:21against nation and kingdom against
9:23kingdom. And there will be famines. Keep
9:25in mind famines, pestilences,
9:29earthquakes in various places. Just keep
9:33that order in your mind. Wars.
9:37Then what?
9:39Famines. And then pestilences. He means
9:43any way the person die. Can die by any
9:46kind of sickness, diseases. uh mass
9:50murder those are all pestilences and
9:52earthquakes is number four. Let me go
9:55with you the book of Revelation. See
9:56what the book of Revelation so you can
9:57understand exactly how the books are in
10:01harmony.
10:02They're all saying the same thing.
10:06In chapter
10:08six of Revelation, which we know that's
10:11talking about the end of times, times to
10:13come. Part of it. Part of it, not all of
10:15it.
10:17And I saw when the lamb opened one of
10:19the seals and I heard one of the four
10:20living creatures saying with a voice
10:22like thunder, come and see. I I think
10:24this is a beautiful verse. It's in John
10:27and in the revelation says especially
10:29our church. When you ask somebody when
10:31you want somebody to come and know or
10:32know about the church, you don't tell
10:34them, you don't give them sit and give
10:35them a lecture. What's the best thing
10:37you say?
10:38>> Come and see.
10:38>> Come and see. You cannot be knowing
10:41anything about the church without being
10:42in the church participating in it. So
10:45what this is saying about uh invitation
10:48from the heavenly beings uh the four
10:50living creatures to John come and see.
10:53And then he came and saw and I looked
10:55behold a white horse. He who sat on it
10:58had a bow and a crown was given to him
11:01and he went out conquering and to
11:03conquer. And everybody says this was
11:05Christ the coming of Christ and his
11:07resurrection.
11:09When he opened the second seal, I heard
11:11the second living creature saying, "Come
11:12and see." Another horse, fiery red, went
11:16out, and it was granted to the one who
11:18sat on it to take peace from the earth,
11:21and the people should kill one another.
11:23And there was given to him great sword.
11:25What's that?
11:26>> Wars.
11:27>> Wars. Wars. Fighting which ends up like
11:30the World War II. And a huge number of
11:33people like millions died.
11:38And when though he opened the third seal
11:40seal, I heard the third living creature
11:41say, "Come and see." So I looked at him.
11:42Behold, black horse, and he who sat on
11:45it had a pair of scales.
11:48You know, Lady Justice with the
11:50blindfolded, what does she have in her
11:52hand?
11:53>> Pair of scales
11:56and to weigh things, to measure things.
11:59And the living third living creature
12:00said looked and I looked and behold a
12:03black horse. And he who sat on it had a
12:06pair of scales in his hand. And I heard
12:08a voice in the midst of the four living
12:10creatures saying a court of wheat for a
12:13dinarius.
12:15A quart of wheat.
12:18That's not a big measure. You know
12:20what's a court? Your milk measure.
12:24But you get a court for a dinarius.
12:27Naras is a whole day wage for a laborer.
12:30You work a whole day to get your milk
12:34jar full of wheat. Would that be enough
12:37to feed a family? Not at all. What is he
12:40talking about?
12:42>> A famine.
12:44And three quarts of barley. Barley a
12:46little cheaper for a dinarius. And do
12:48not harm the oil and the wine. And when
12:51he opened the the fourth seal, I heard
12:53the voice of the fourth living creature
12:54saying, "Come and see." And I looked,
12:56behold, a pale horse, and the name of
12:58him who sat on it was death,
13:02a lot of pestilences,
13:05and Hades followed with him, and power
13:07was given to them over the fourth of the
13:09earth to kill with the sword, with
13:11hunger, with death, and by the beasts of
13:13the earth, any kind of death that would
13:15do mass destruction.
13:19And he opened the fifth seal, and he saw
13:20under the altar the souls of those who
13:22had been slain for the word of God. This
13:24is martyrs and Jesus is going to speak
13:27about it and he's telling telling the
13:28church martyrdom will be going on from
13:31one generation to another as a witness
13:34to the whole earth.
13:37And the sixth one
13:40and when he opened the sixth seal and
13:42behold there was a great earthquake. I
13:45doubt that's the original Greek because
13:48what's really happening he's not
13:50describing it's an earthquake of the
13:52earth but mainly what's happening the
13:54sun became black as sackcloth of hair
13:57and the moon became like blood and the
13:59stars of heaven fell to the earth as a
14:01fig tree drops its laid figs when it's
14:03shaken by a mighty wind. What's he
14:05describing is something in heaven, not
14:08an earthquake. So it seems to be more
14:11like a a heaven quake.
14:15You go back to the gospel that we read
14:19today
14:25and he's talking about earthquakes.
14:28What I see is the same between the two
14:31between the book of revelation and um
14:36and the gospels and how we we uh the two
14:39are actually giving the same image.
14:41Jesus is giving us multiple events
14:44that's happening in the world that will
14:48be signs for the end. But to tell you
14:50the truth I am more and more inclined to
14:53think this is a cyclical pattern. you
14:56get uh wars, then you follow by famines,
15:00they follow by um uh plagues, and they
15:04follow by m earthquakes and there's
15:07martyrdom going on all the time. You
15:10know, you heard about the earthquake in
15:12Turkey 3 4 years ago, 2 years ago,
15:1540,000 people was killed. 40,000.
15:20And here then Russia and Ukraine, Israel
15:23and Palestinians, these all things
15:25that's going on from one generation to
15:26another. So it's more of a cyclical
15:28nature. It doesn't happen one time. But
15:30it seems like toward the end we'll have
15:33this cycle become very exaggerated much
15:35more. Okay.
15:38Now
15:40so he's saying it the same way. He says
15:43nation will go against nation wars,
15:44kingdom against kingdom and there will
15:46be earthquakes various places. There
15:48will be famines and troubles. He's
15:50saying it in a very short uh way in
15:52Mark. Mark is very short. And then he's
15:55talking about the martyrdom. Watch for
15:57yourselves for they will deliver you up
15:58to councils. You'll be beaten in the
16:00synagogues. And he's talking about the
16:02preaching of the gospel everywhere.
16:04That's one of the problems that we need
16:06to focus on. There's still places on
16:09earth the gospel did not go to.
16:12and to you to to me then the the
16:16invention of the internet which was in
16:18the 80s
16:20um and the accessibility to information
16:23and communication
16:25will make this happen
16:28faster than anybody can think.
16:31There's no corner on earth does not have
16:34internet access.
16:37So this is something to think about. And
16:40he's uh he's saying that brother will
16:42betray brother to death and a father his
16:44child and children will rise up against
16:46parents and cause them to be put to
16:47death. He's predicting martyrdom. That's
16:50the fifth seal and you'll be hated by
16:55all for my name's sake. So this happened
16:57twice. This has happened before in the
17:00time of Jesus
17:02a after he left the church was
17:04persecuted and then he's saying
17:07something about specifically about
17:08Jerusalem but it might also mean
17:10something about the end of times. So
17:12when you see the abomination of
17:15desolation
17:17spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing
17:20where it ought not and he puts in
17:24parenthesis let the reader understand.
17:28Hint hint to those of us who wants to
17:32think.
17:34What was that?
17:37He said if you see that he called it the
17:40abomination of dissolution. What's an
17:42abomination?
17:46Something very disturbing.
17:50Something What's an abomination?
17:52Hateful.
17:54Disgusting.
17:56You might say that
17:59dissolation. What's dissolation?
18:02Destruction. Annihilation.
18:06So what is this?
18:09So 40 years after Jesus ascended to
18:11heaven, 40 years maybe 37, 70 AD
18:17came they made the Jews especially as
18:20the zealots a group called the zillots
18:22were revolutionists refused the uh
18:26occupation of the Romans and they
18:28started calling killing a lot of the
18:30soldiers and doing a lot of uprising
18:33against Caesar.
18:36So the emperor of Rome at the time sent
18:40and we talk about Nero
18:42sent a general his name was Titus
18:45besieged Jerusalem with almost a million
18:49and a half Jew inside
18:52and those who came to the feast could
18:54not come out. Josephus is talking about
18:56it is horrific.
19:00I I would not recommend reading what he
19:02said about it because there's a lot of
19:04um
19:06um imagery that is not easy to forget.
19:11One of the simplest way the the people
19:14inside of Jerusalem after a year of
19:16siege started eating dead bodies and
19:20they will fight over it. Dead bodies of
19:23animals, dead bodies of humans.
19:26Parents would eat their dead children.
19:29to survive that siege. Why? Jesus said,
19:34"By the way, one and a million half Jews
19:37were killed in this siege. Not a single
19:40Christian died." Cuz all of them
19:43remembered what Jesus had said. What did
19:46they see for them to run away? They said
19:49the first thing Titus did before he
19:52comes with the army to besiege the city.
19:54He took the the banner of the Roman
19:57Empire which was the eagle that brass
20:01eagle and put it right in the temple
20:04where ought to be no one putting any
20:06flag in that place.
20:09When they saw this, the Christians said,
20:11"Uh-oh, that's what Jesus talked about.
20:13Let us go." You hear a tone of this in
20:16the letter to the Hebrews when the
20:18letter to the Hebrews for the first time
20:19ever says guys we have no city here. Oh
20:24I thought city the Jerusalem was given
20:26to us by God. This is a city of a great
20:28king of David
20:31where the temple is why we should leave
20:34it. You are you guys are traitors.
20:36Imagine in a family there is a priest
20:40a family of priests. A priest who
20:42followed Christ and became a Christian.
20:43another his brother and his cousins are
20:46still Jewish priests serving in the
20:50temple. So that one Christian priest
20:52said, "I'm leaving." So you're a
20:53traitor. The the brothers would say,
20:55"You're leaving the city of God. You're
20:57leaving the city of David and the
20:59temple. We will die here." And he said,
21:02"No, we don't have here a remaining
21:06city. Our city is waiting for us up with
21:09Jesus wherever the king is."
21:12And this is what he said. If you see
21:14that banner of the Roman Empire in the
21:17temple, everyone should run. And that's
21:20what they what they did. So he said,
21:23so when you see the abomination of
21:25desolation spoken of by Daniel the
21:28prophet standing where it ought not, let
21:30the reader understand. Let the then let
21:33those who are in Judea flee to the
21:35mountains.
21:37Why is he saying let the reader
21:38understand? Because he's not going to be
21:39it doesn't come to his heart. is not
21:41agreeable with him. Matthew that he
21:43would say the the Roman banner will be
21:45in the temple. It will break him down.
21:48It break everybody he reads and they
21:49will be shocked. But he says I'll let
21:52you to understand this. So let him who
21:55is in the housetop not go down into the
21:58house nor enter to take anything out of
21:59his house and let him who is in the
22:01field
22:03not go back to to get his clothes. Don't
22:06waste time. It's going to be very
22:08quickly. But woe to those who are
22:10pregnant and to those who are nursing
22:12babies in those days. And pray that your
22:14flight might not be in the winter for in
22:17those days will be tribulations. And
22:19this is what he's going to talk about.
22:20And then he speak about
22:24um okay and he said but take heed see I
22:27have told you all things beforehand but
22:30in those days after that tribulation
22:32then he's talking about the other
22:34question the second coming and they're
22:36mixed together because the questions
22:38were mixed together and the topic in the
22:41mind of the apostles at the time were
22:43mixed together but the church can
22:45differentiate those. Then he talks about
22:47the coming of the son of man on the
22:48clouds and then the the the
22:51resurrection. Now let me just say this
22:53what we should do with this
22:56first I think I would I want to focus
22:58very quickly. I'm not going to keep you
23:00much. But here um
23:04this word
23:06[Music]
23:08when you see the abomination of
23:10desolation spoken by Daniel prophet
23:13standing where it ought not. I'm going
23:16to focus about this. Standing where it
23:18ought not. The presence of something
23:23does not belong. Imagine
23:27I come here on the altar and I put big
23:30TV and we come watch an action movie.
23:35How would you feel about it?
23:39It is this this TV going to tell me this
23:41TV does not belong here nor here by the
23:43way.
23:47They should not I mean sometimes I come
23:48to the church and I look at the TV
23:50screen and it has you know how uh Apple
23:53TV is or chcast advertisement about
23:55movies there might be naked people there
23:58might be violence in on the icon stes
24:02that's a side point
24:04it where it ought not
24:08do you see something because we're
24:09coming to the end of time so definitely
24:12do you see things standing where it
24:14ought
24:14[Music]
24:19Do you have something in your home
24:21stands where it ought not? Do you do you
24:24have something in your heart staying
24:26where it ought not?
24:30And the more I bring in stuff into my
24:32life and I'm not careful where they
24:35belong, these things are bringing in. So
24:38what would that be for the end of times?
24:42What would this standing where it ought
24:44not be in at the end of times?
24:48It will not because there's no temple.
24:50Now I will tell you one thing, it will
24:52be than the church. The church, the
24:55church will have things where it ought
24:56not. And we're getting more of that.
25:00Our hearts which should be the temple of
25:02the Holy Spirit, we have things in it
25:04where it ought not.
25:06our homes.
25:10This is very serious.
25:13With the with the coming with that with
25:17the invention of more communication
25:19tools, there's a lot of things that
25:21stand where it ought not.
25:23I would tell I tell the deacons, you
25:25know, it's it's terrible. I heard I
25:28don't have time to leave here and go and
25:30attend liturgies in other churches that
25:32deacons hopefully not the priest deacons
25:35are sitting texting
25:37on their phones while liturgy is going
25:41on. This is definitely standing where it
25:43ought not.
25:45That's why I say don't take your phone
25:47with you to the altar. At least to the
25:49altar. I would say silence it when you
25:51come to the church because it shouldn't
25:52stand where it ought not. This is God's
25:55time. There's more of that. More of
25:58that. Before the invention of the cell
26:00phone and the the internet, we didn't
26:02have that. Yes, they are very useful,
26:04but they have their place.
26:07You should not be standing where they
26:09ought not.
26:12Think about God's time.
26:15We talked about this a couple weeks ago.
26:17I said, why do we pray?
26:20Because it's fair. It's fair to say to
26:23God, thank you. It's really unfair for
26:26God to do all what God had done
26:28creating, supporting and saving. In
26:31return, I don't say thank you to the
26:33Lord at least every day. At least once.
26:37Where what is standing where it ought
26:39not. I wake up and open my eyes and then
26:41my immediately on my phone and then I
26:43forget. God becomes number two. I push
26:46him aside and I put my cell phone. I put
26:50my social media. Isn't that standing
26:52where it ought not?
26:57There's a lot of that and if we really
26:59honest and serious with ourselves, we're
27:02going to see this happening more and
27:03more. We got we get used to it and this
27:05is what will happen. It will happen
27:07openly.
27:09It will happen openly and nobody will
27:11have any objection and it started to
27:13happen by the way. See it in all kinds
27:16of
27:18Christian gatherings.
27:21A lot of that happens. So I want us to
27:25think today about yes the end of times
27:28is going to come but Jesus is giving us
27:30signs. One of them is this abom
27:32abomination of desolation something that
27:34should not be there and it is there.
27:36That is a big sign. What is that? He
27:39said he said that's the writing on the
27:42wall. What do we mean by that? A sign of
27:46destruction.
27:48you especially you the people of God
27:51consecrated that Jesus died for them and
27:54you're baptized you put on Christ and
27:56you are dedicated you have things that
27:58doesn't belong to him take his place
28:00think about that what would be in the
28:02world if that's us who are the holy
28:05people of God and what would you think
28:07the world will have if we are the hope
28:12of the world the more things go down
28:16within us the more I am poor it will be
28:18the end. Let me show you something about
28:20this. So it's about the prayer
28:22especially prayer time and prayer uh
28:25dedication. Let me show you something
28:26from the book of Luke from the gospel of
28:30Luke about what Jesus expectation is for
28:33the end of times.
28:36Then he spoke a parable to them that men
28:38always ought to pray.
28:41You see ought here ought not ought to
28:44pray and not lose heart. saying there
28:47was in a certain city a judge who did
28:49not fear God nor regard man. Now there
28:51was a widow in that city and she came to
28:53him saying get justice for me for my ad
28:56from my adversary.
28:58And he would not for a while but
29:00afterward he said within himself though
29:03I do not fear God nor regard man. Yeah
29:06because this widow troubles me I will
29:09avenge her lest by her continual coming
29:12she weary me. Then the Lord ended this
29:15parable and turned to the people and
29:17said, "Hear what the unjust judge said."
29:20And shall God not avenge his own elect
29:23when who cry out day and night to him?
29:25Do he bears long with them? What's he
29:28saying? You have lost trust in God that
29:31you stop praying.
29:33Don't you think that even a bad judge
29:35will respond
29:38if the person R is persistent? You think
29:42God is a bad judge?
29:45And shall God not avenge his own elect
29:47who cry out, "Avenge means I'm fighting
29:49so hard, Lord, help me. I have an
29:52adversary that's keeps bothering me and
29:54bugging me and want me to do and break
29:56your commandments. Help me." And this is
29:59how the response says,
30:02"I tell you that he will avenge them
30:04speedily." Nevertheless, listen to this
30:06is the the sentence I'm actually
30:08bringing this for. Nevertheless, when
30:11the son of man comes, will he really
30:14find faith on earth? Okay, what's he
30:18saying?
30:20He says two things here. Faith is shown
30:23in
30:24prayer persistence.
30:27And the second thing he's saying when he
30:29comes, he expects to find
30:33nobody praying.
30:36That's what he expects. I think it's an
30:37ironic ironic question. It's a
30:40rhetorical question that actually answer
30:43itself. When the son of man come, will
30:45he find peace on earth? If you know that
30:47your child
30:50does not make up their bed and you know
30:52that this is their habit and then you
30:54tell them, okay, if I come up now to
30:56your room, will I find you make your
30:57bed? What do you mean?
31:00I'm not expecting it.
31:03So when he comes, will he find faith in
31:06persistent prayer? Which means to me
31:08when Jesus comes, one of the big signs
31:11of his coming, prayer is going down.
31:16That's one of the signs. And it's
31:18replaced by something else that ought
31:19not to be there.
31:22Think about this. Okay, let me say the
31:24two words in Arabic.
