All right. So I made the decision early this morning to preempt the teaching in Ephesians.

On Sunday mornings, we are currently going through this epistle to the church in Ephesus,

chapter by chapter, and verse by verse. But I sense that the Lord would have us to devote the entirety of our time today to the Middle East prophecy update, which we usually do after the teaching in Ephesians.

So today we're going to do it instead of the teaching in Ephesians.

And this for a number of reasons, chief of which is that I woke up a little after 3 a.m. this

morning, as I usually do on Sunday mornings. I try to go to bed early on Saturday nights,

and last night I was able to do that.

So I get up early, and then I wake up to a text from a friend and online member, Kelly McGuire,

who works at Fox News in New York, and she was apprising me of the breaking news of this Syrian chemical weapons attack near

Damascus.

And I decided then at that point to forego Ephesians and talk very candidly today about the significance of this. And I want to

preface it by saying that, and I think you know this about me, at least I hope you do. I'm always

very careful not to come off as being, you know,

sensational or even provocative. And I try to keep, um, I try to stay calm. I was going to say

that, but that doesn't, that's not really true. I'm not a very calm person.

But I just want to say that in light of everything that has happened and even now is happening, this is truly in every sense of the word,

a game changer. And that's almost in a way an understatement of sorts. I'm going to ask that

you bear with me. I'm going to try as best as I can to sort through all of this.

I actually spent about eight hours yesterday prior to this chemical attack just on the prophecy update,

just by sure virtue of how much has happened just in the

last few days, just this last week. So what I want to do is argue the case that we are witnessing

three specific prophecies.
