All right, let's get to our prophecy update. If you are able to stay, we'd certainly encourage you to do so. If you have to leave, we want you to have a blessed week. And if we don't see you here on Thursday for our midweek study in the Psalms, we will see you, Lord willing, on Sunday. You know, I've got to mention this for the benefit of our online members. So we've

had a couple of comments and questions from online members going, why are you kicking people

out of the service for the prophecy update? Okay, let me explain. These blessed people have just sat through a very long sermon prior to the prophecy update

and they you know just choose to leave.

So, but you can't because you're watching this online.

So where are you going to go?

I have to confess that I was really overwhelmed preparing for today's prophecy update, unusually so.

And I think it's for what might be deemed obvious reasons.

Just the sheer volume of developments of prophetic significance in Israel, and in particular here in the United States,

it's been a busy week, if I can say it that way. So this last week, as I always do, I start off by just really seeking the Lord and

okay, Lord, what would you have me to talk about for this week's prophecy update? I sort through a lot of

news feeds and I am in the word for an inordinate amount of time

and I just really seek the Lord and pray and God as only he can as we just talked about

in Philippians gave me this supernatural peace concerning all that is happening.

Again, as I've shared with you, I have this proclivity to get all worked up when I see what's happening in the world.

And I get upset and the Lord just has to, you know, calm me and settle me and remind

me, what are you getting so worked up for? What are you getting so upset about? You of all

people should know that these things must happen, that the end might come, and

you shouldn't be surprised.

Why are you so surprised?

So he reminded me of John's Gospel chapter 14.

I want to read verses 27 through 30.
