=== Harbingers of Decline (05:54) ===

[00:00:00]  And what is the scripture verse, Rabbi, that you based the harbinger on that so people can they can go straight to it and they can read it for themselves?
[00:00:10]  Yeah, this is this is Isaiah 910, where it says we are actually, why don't we we can lay the lay the groundwork of that?
[00:00:18]  And that is the foundation is for those who don't know the harbinger is that a nation, you got a nation, ancient Israel, falling away from God.
[00:00:26]  He is he is calling them back, but they're not coming back and he's calling them back.
[00:00:31]  And so, and he's trying everything, but they won't listen.
[00:00:34]  So finally, he allows something to happen, which is a classic first stage of judgment or in warning.
[00:00:41]  He allows the nation's hedge to be removed.
[00:00:44]  He allows an enemy to come strike the land.
[00:00:47]  And that comes in in ancient times, it was the Assyrians who came and attacked the land.
[00:00:52]  Well, with America, it was 9-11.
[00:00:56]  The attack, according to the mystery, the template, it's temporary.
[00:01:03]  It's limited.
[00:01:04]  It's a wake-up call.
[00:01:05]  It's over, but it's shaking the nation.
[00:01:08]  It's to call them back.
[00:01:09]  Now, when it happened to ancient Israel in 732 BC, that the people, instead of coming back to God, which is what they should have done, and which the whole point was come back to God and be saved, because God was trying to save them from judgment, instead, they turned away from God and they made a vow that the prophet Isaiah records.
[00:01:28]  And that vow was this.
[00:01:30]  They said, the bricks have fallen in the attack, but we will rebuild with hewn stone.
[00:01:36]  We're going to come back stronger, bigger, better than ever before without God.
[00:01:41]  And we're going to continue away from God.
[00:01:42]  And then it said, the sycamore tree has been struck down in the attack, but we will plant cedars in their place or in Hebrew, the Erest tree.
[00:01:52]  So they're saying we're going to plant a stronger tree.
[00:01:54]  We're coming back stronger than before, and nothing's going to break us down again.
[00:01:58]  And we're not going to repent.
[00:02:00]  We're going to defy God.
[00:02:01]  So because they said that, Isaiah 9, 10, they were actually pronouncing judgment on their nation.
[00:02:07]  And so what's going to happen is God is going to watch it.
[00:02:10]  He's going to say, okay, I'm going to give you this time period.
[00:02:13]  But if you don't come back, you're going to head to destruction.
[00:02:16]  So the amazing thing is, starting with 9-11, we have the exact same mystery start.
[00:02:23]  The harbingers that appeared in the last days of ancient Israel now appear on American soil.
[00:02:30]  Some appear in New York City.
[00:02:32]  Some appear in Washington, D.C. Some involve political leaders, even the president of the United States.
[00:02:40]  Some involve ceremonies.
[00:02:42]  Some involve objects, but there are specific warnings.
[00:02:46]  And the thing is that I'll just quickly lay the foundation for those who don't know, but it begins, the first harbinger is the strike, is the breach.
[00:02:56]  The breach is open.
[00:02:57]  The enemy makes a strike.
[00:02:59]  That happened with 9-11.
[00:03:00]  Second harbinger from ancient times is the terrorists.
[00:03:04]  Those who brought that destruction back then were the Assyrians, the fathers of terrorism.
[00:03:11]  So the ones who bring it, it's an act of terror.
[00:03:13]  Well, that's 9-11.
[00:03:14]  Number three, the bricks have fallen.
[00:03:16]  So it will involve the collapsing of buildings.
[00:03:20]  Well, we have the collapsing of the World Trade Center, the collapsing of the Pentagon.
[00:03:24]  The bricks had fallen.
[00:03:26]  The next harbinger is a tower.
[00:03:31]  The people say we're going to build higher, stronger than ever.
[00:03:34]  They start building higher and greater than before.
[00:03:37]  So on ground zero, the tower of America's defiance goes up.
[00:03:43]  They call it, they say it's going to be, it's our defiance.
[00:03:46]  We're going to show the world we're defiant.
[00:03:48]  Well, it goes up, but it's a tower of defiance.
[00:03:50]  The next harbinger is the stone.
[00:03:53]  The people say we're going to rebuild, you know, the fallen buildings.
[00:03:57]  They were clay bricks, nothing, but we're gonna build with these massive stones in Hebrew gazit, so massive rectangular stones because we're coming back stronger.
[00:04:05]  Well, what happens over ground zero?
[00:04:08]  A massive gazette stone, a hewn quarried stone, appears over the pavement.
[00:04:16]  It's lowered down.
[00:04:17]  They call it, they talk about the freedom stone.
[00:04:20]  They have a ceremony around the stone.
[00:04:22]  It's quarried, just like the ones in ancient Israel.
[00:04:25]  They have a ceremony around it.
[00:04:26]  The governor of New York says, We're doing this in the spirit of defiance.
[00:04:30]  So that's the gazette zone.
[00:04:32]  Next harbinger, the scripture says the sycamores have fallen.
[00:04:36]  In the last moments of 9/11, the last tower comes crashing down to the ground, sends out a beam.
[00:04:44]  The beam strikes a tree.
[00:04:45]  The tree is a sycamore.
[00:04:47]  The sycamore is fallen.
[00:04:49]  The symbol of judgment fallen in New York.
[00:04:52]  They call it the sycamore of ground zero.
[00:04:54]  The seventh harbinger: the scripture says, But we will plant cedars in their place.
[00:05:00]  Well, in Hebrew, the word is Erez tree.
[00:05:02]  It means it could be a cedar, could be a pine tree.
[00:05:05]  It means a strong conifer tree, pine tree.
[00:05:08]  So, what happens three years after 9-11?
[00:05:10]  A tree appears in the sky, is being lowered at the corner of ground zero to sit in the exact place where the sycamore had fallen.
[00:05:19]  They have a ceremony around the tree.
[00:05:22]  They have no idea they're reenacting judgment and they call it the tree of hope.
[00:05:27]  They said, This is the tree that we're coming back.
[00:05:30]  It represents us.
[00:05:30]  We're coming back stronger.
[00:05:32]  That's basically what it was.
[00:05:33]  And so, it's the exact same tree in the exact same place, replaced with a sycamore.
[00:05:39]  The eighth harbinger, the leaders of Israel are actually the ones to say this vow and they pronounce judgment on the nation.

=== John Edwards' Isaiah Speech (03:09) ===

[00:05:47]  And they do it in the capital city.
[00:05:49]  Well, could that ever happen in America?
[00:05:51]  It happens three years after 9-11 on the anniversary of 9-11.
[00:05:55]  A leader, a senator running for vice president, gets up.
[00:05:59]  It is John Edwards, and he makes a speech today on this day of remembrance and mourning.
[00:06:06]  We have the Lord's word to get us through.
[00:06:09]  The bricks have fallen, but we will build with dressed stones.
[00:06:14]  The sycamores have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.
[00:06:21]  This is taken from Isaiah, 9th chapter, the 10th verse.
[00:06:26]  The entire speech is Isaiah 9:10.
[00:06:30]  He says there's this scripture that speaks to us.
[00:06:33]  He has no idea what he's saying, what he's doing.
[00:06:34]  He's pronouncing judgment on America and saying, He doesn't even know what's happening.
[00:06:39]  He says, We, you know, we are planting the tree.
[00:06:41]  We're doing he has no idea.
[00:06:43]  He, the whole script, the whole speech is Isaiah 9:10.
[00:06:47]  He quotes from it.
[00:06:48]  And the last one is the prophecy that the people of Israel actually, the leaders said it before they did it.
[00:06:54]  They first said it, like had to be right after the calamity.
[00:06:57]  Could it have happened?
[00:06:58]  The day after 9-11, America gives its response to the world.
[00:07:04]  And the one who's entrusted with doing it is Senator Senator Tom Dashel.
[00:07:10]  And he's the Senate majority leader of the Democratic leader.
[00:07:13]  He gets up to the podium on September 12th, the morning after, to the world, to the joint session of Congress, the world.
[00:07:21]  He gives a speech, and then at the end of his speech, he says, There is a scripture that speaks to us now.
[00:07:29]  But there is a passage in the Bible from Isaiah that I think speaks to all of us at times like this.
[00:07:42]  The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with dressed stone.
[00:07:49]  The fig trees have been felled, But we will replace them with cedars.
[00:07:57]  Really, really, the amazing thing is that this, he really set the stage then.
[00:08:04]  It was all prophesied then.
[00:08:06]  With him saying what he did, he says, this is what we'll do.
[00:08:09]  So he said, he didn't know what he was saying.
[00:08:12]  He's pronouncing judgment on America.
[00:08:14]  He's saying exactly what the leaders of ancient Israel said in their last days.
[00:08:17]  And he's identifying America as a nation under judgment.
[00:08:21]  But he also says, at the end, he says the last words of his speech is Isaiah 9:10.
[00:08:25]  And then he says, this is what we will do.
[00:08:28]  In other words, we are going to follow Isaiah 9:10.
[00:08:33]  We're going to follow ancient Israel in its defiance of God, and it's going to lead to judgment.
[00:08:39]  He doesn't know he's saying it, but listen, it was all prophesied then from that day.
[00:08:45]  And we have been following it to the next stage to this day.
