Bridge Out Warning 00:03:28
And we're a people in the last days.
And here, the United Nations this year announced the date of September 21st is the day of peace and safety to the world.
Pastor, you know, you bring this word.
What can we expect during this time?
As the body of Christ, as the church, what can we do during this time?
I'm not saying anything is going to happen on that day other than the solar eclipse.
What I'm saying is just like when the bridge is out, you get the warning ahead of the time before you get to the bridge.
So I really believe this is for God's covenant nation to giving us time to repent.
Just like Lot had a little bit of time, a little window to get out of there.
In his case, the destruction came.
But I really believe that what we're to be doing, it is a sign to the body of Christ that we're supposed to be praying and interceding for our nation like Abraham, being aware of what's going on.
He says that in Isaiah, he was looking for an intercessor and he couldn't find one.
God's looking for intercessors.
That's what he really wants.
And who knows, of all the viewers that are here from all over the United States, they're watching everywhere.
How many people would it take in your county or your city to mitigate the disaster that's coming?
So for me, I think believers all over need to pool with other believers in their city and their county and be praying for their city, for their county, for their state.
And who knows if maybe the disaster might not be mitigated in their particular area.
So for me, it's all about intercession.
And God wants to know where his praying church is.
All right.
The day you were talking about there was an eclipse that set off.
Was it the First World War or Second World War?
First World War at the beginning of the First World War.
In August of 1914, there was a total solar eclipse going over Eastern Europe and the Ottoman Empire.
And it speaks of judgment and what happened.
World War I, the Ottoman Empire was destroyed.
Then there was another one at the end of World War I that patterns exactly this way.
And how long?
How long was World War I?
Anybody know?
Four years.
Okay.
Roughly, 1914 to 1918.
Could it be these signs are like the gun going off on a race or on an evangelist?
I love that example.
I love that example.
Because, you know, in high school, I would go to a lot of track meets and different things.
And if you remember, there'd be people in the stands watching, and then you have the runners getting ready, and they would all have to get on their mark.
They'd get their fingers down on the line.
They got their rear up in the air.
They're ready to go, you know.
But they can't jump the gun.
Oh, boy.
If they jump the gun, okay, come back.
You do it more than once.
You're out of the race.
Well, Hebrews says we're in a race.
Okay?
And I believe right now our fingers should be on the line.
But you have to wait for the gun to go off.
You can't jump the gun.
And so this is why I'm not saying that this eclipse is the gun going off.
I'm just saying this is the countdown to the gun going off.
And we have to be careful that we don't jump the gun and we don't say this is it or anything like that.
But we need to be prepared and watching.
It says in Luke, look up.
Your redemption draws nigh.
What are we looking at?
The signs in the heavens.
That's right.
