All right. Aloha. It is so good to be back with you and here online.

And this is our Thursday night Bible study that we are turning into a live stream.

I know many of you have already joined with us online.

This will be archived, of course course on our YouTube channel and then ultimately

it'll be across our social media platforms after it is completed so I want to

begin by first of all thanking you for your patience especially me. I had a couple of online people comment and post

and say, J.D., where are you? You pick the worst time in human history to take a couple of weeks off.

And for that, I'm'm very sorry but I am back

and I want to thank you for your patience not only with me but with us we have

so many people I wish you knew the servants that we have that are working

tirelessly especially on the live streaming so that we have that are working tirelessly, especially on the live streaming, so that we can go online and in real time actually make these available to you, our online church, as well as our local church.

Because right now we don't have anybody

here in the sanctuary we just have a small team of people that are here and so if

I say something that's funny and you only hear two people laughing that's

because only two people are laughing but But that's the way it uses you use anyway.

We are working very hard to navigate our way through this in the days ahead.

And it is constantly changing not only on a daily basis but it seems like an

hourly basis and I'm sorry I'm gonna sound kind of doom and gloom but it is

very likely that things are gonna get much worse than they are even now.

So as of now, Lord willing, we are planning to, and I highlight and underscore and emphasize Lord willing,

we're planning to live stream Sunday's Prophecy Update at 9 a.m. Hawaii Standard Time.

So 9 a.m. Hawaii time is noon Pacific time on the West Coast, and it is 3 p.m. in the afternoon on the East Coast and then, of course, everything in between.
