Crunch Time Approaches 00:03:27
And I believe we're in the end times.
I really believe these are biblical last days.
You know what I call it? Crunch time.
Crunch time.
Can I explain crunch time?
Yes.
Crunch time is when in the days of Noah, God says you have 120 years.
Now the book of Yashua, which is not in the scripture, but it's mentioned in the scripture twice, says that Noah was 480 years of age when God spoke to him that.
Because Adam was told, Josephus says this, Adam was told that the world would be destroyed once by water and another time by fire.
Adam was told that by God.
This is Josephus.
So they knew that Enoch, who, according to books of Enoch that have been written, and Christian tradition, Enoch actually was taken to heaven and God showed him the judgment which was coming.
Can we go here?
Yeah.
Enoch is 65 years of age, and then it said, and then he walked with God.
And he walked with God for 300 years.
The reason at 65 he walked with God is he was caught up in a vision and God showed him the destruction that was coming.
And he named his son Methuselah, which means in Hebrew, met Dusalah, met is death, his death brings.
So Methuselah knew, or should I say Enoch knew that his son was the key to the flood coming, and when he died, the flood would come.
And if you'll check out the chronology of the numbers in the Bible, Methuselah died seven days before the flood came.
And that's why God said, yet seven days I'll cause it to rain upon the earth.
So when you start studying this whole idea of crunch time, God says 120 years, and then God says, yet seven days I will cause it to rain.
And then it says, in the day that they didn't expect it happened.
So you got 120, then you've got seven days, and you got one.
The closer you get to the event that is mentioned in scripture taking place, time becomes crunched.
Jesus preaches 33 years, right?
No, he lives for 33 and a half years, but he preaches for about 42 months.
And then he has the week of passion, and then suddenly he has the day of crucifixion.
So as we get closer, and this is why, for example, people have said for years, and I hear this, well, we've heard all of our life the Lord's coming.
We've heard all of our life the tribulation.
We've heard this.
Come on, we've heard this and things.
And even Peter said that there are scoffers who say, where is the promise of his coming?
It's not that they don't think he's coming, but they're saying, show me, show me, show me.
Everything's going on.
So you warn people, you pray with people, you teach it to people.
And because things continue the same, they act like that nothing's going to happen.
But what we have to understand is as you get closer to an event, let's say you get closer toward the tribulation, toward the revelation of the Antichrist, toward the rapture, however you may believe, and there are different differences of beliefs on timing, and I don't argue that with anyone because we'll find out one day, won't we?
But the thing is, as you get closer to the event, you're going to see more events happen closer, and it's like you wake up, something else, bam, something else.

And it didn't used to be that way.
It used to be like once a year, you'd have one event, maybe two events.
You turn on the news, it's like every day something is happening, and you're saying, man, what?
And it's the alignment.
And I know we'll probably talk about North Korea and some things, but I'll share something with you later, if you'll remind me.
It's very interesting about Saudi Arabia that most people have not heard.
