Summary

Mary welcomes Mondo Gonzales today to talk prophecy – but not just in the way that simply confirms the interpretation of the day. Central to our conversation is the famous passage in Daniel 9:27 – “and he shall confirm a covenant with (the) many…” Prophecy teachers have generally taught that to be a peace treaty, making anyone who facilitated such a covenant either the Antichrist, or associated with him. But what if that isn’t in view? Did you know that the word “peace” is nowhere to be found in that verse? From time to time, it’s okay to step back from the pop prophecy that we have been taught and make sure we aren’t torturing the text. To make sure we can defend our position FROM the text. A fascinating discussion. We also get a red heifer update, and talk 10 kings. Who are these guys that Daniel and Revelation 17 both say will get to rule with the Antichrist for a brief moment? Mondo Gonzales was a pastor for 16 years and also has a graduate degree in Biblical archaeology. He is the director of the Psalm 19 Project which has a university class observatory with three separate telescopes scanning and photographing the heavens. He also enjoys theology, running, and traveling. You can find him hosting the Prophecy Watchers TV program and podcast. His book, The Mystery of the Red Heifer was released in March.

0:52.2	Let the reader understand. This curious phrase in Matthew 24 and Mark 13 really stuck out to me this week because it points to the need to actively engage with a particular text because it's important. We need to discern it. We need to grasp the significance and to see if it's connected somewhere else in Scripture. I'm looking forward to this today. But first, today's scripture, which is 1 Corinthians 2, 6 to 9. However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age who are coming
1:28.4	to nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained
1:33.9	before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew, for had they known,
1:39.7	they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, I is not seen, nor ear heard, nor have
1:46.1	entered into the heart of man the things which God is prepared for those who love him.
1:52.3	Oh, let's pray together this morning. Lord, not only our times, but the times that you have ordained
1:59.8	for kingdoms of this world, Lord, they are in your
2:03.9	hands. As we perceive the closing of the age, we see the chaotic world events, we can, we're just,
2:11.6	Lord, so grateful that we can say our lives are hidden in you, safe and secure, and there our comfort and our shelter abide.
2:20.4	You are light, and in you is no darkness at all. Thank you for the words of life that sustain
