Hold on all of you this is no picnic for me I'd much rather not tell you any of this. Please please please tell lies Hal I hope you're ready for this I hope I'm ready for this. I'll pick up where I left off before particular in July if it's still and be quiet sorry. I was getting more proud and more angry every day I hadn't one single thought except to destroy every band and I could find we started out just want to help the folks the bandits stole from we intended on given the soul and stuff back. But we never got around to that we ended up keeping it for ourselves. How do we go out of the tag and. The last I thought about the families they had heard I loved the power of being alive. I didn't just fight them back I hunted them down I was looking for them all the time I even slept in my armor I was always ready for a fight it's. Not like a night of the round table I made a crude vest of leather and sold pieces of metal all over it and wasn't anything to look at but it would stop an arrow cold all the year. We had attacked him again and they were on the run I had paused for a moment to catch my breath that. Was the 1st time he came cool cold game or my tempter the owl was there I was at the height to try every school just as I wanted to. Ensure the people of the mountains my name sent fear into their hearts and my lord stopped them in the tracks. I was the mighty Goliath. Yeah can you move it a little to the right with the cold right there a dead what's with the hear style oh I'm getting a new look I want to be ready when all the Hollywood agents call Oh I get it a positive is now on t.v. On the Trinity Broadcasting Network and you think this will be your big break needed to look well you know what the Bible says when pride comes then comes shame but with the humble comes wisdom so I should keep the same look then is that what you think maybe you need to watch more Pozen tales Let's get back to wildwood for more pause and take. I nearly broke I mean the great the lie of honor a sorrow a real honor I have got business to attend to your friends have it well in hand you can leave it to them ganna come Liath I would like to make you an offer whatever you're selling I don't want it I'm a little busy Oh I'm not selling anything real I've got a proposal for you propose. I am an emissary from the shadow alley shadow that your. Shit that's a wide scale Oh I assure you it is ever so real we My people have heard of your great ness we have heard of your fierceness in battle we offer you Shadow Valley as long. King You want me to be king a fable everything you ever wanted would be yours and Shadow Valley for instance you would be able to wipe out the bendix entire If you were king. Here one of the main long range. Them out. Loud there's no way. They'd shot at us same as you were wrong the battle not. Maybe some other time. Indeed we. Are always. Right under the gun why weren't there shooting guns and well it may be hard for you to grasp just how wild wild mountain blood was back then it was no train yet everything that came in came in by wagon guns were hard to get at all and one of the things we stalled most from the bandits where their guns they mostly had to make their weapons from whatever they could then you could go after them with all of those guns oh I love it no we didn't use guns at all ever Why not we didn't just want to get rid of the bandits I wanted to terrify them I wanted them to fear even being on the mountain I only wanted to be in their nightmares. We used swords and both as an arrows they knew we had their guns but we never used them and this made them. Comfortable. And. It fed by pride the fact that we could beat them back with nothing but crude and barbaric weapons. Made me feel powerful. That winter we found almost no bandits at all we thought that we may move them out of the mountains altogether we were wrong that winter they did something they had never done before they joined together they joined forces for one reason to get girl I offend his mad and that is exactly right but they never did a thing no they did not actually they did. They came from every direction there were 10 of us. Had his corner near the mouth of a king. My legs look going to be Ok and almost all the way through. Pull the rest of the way. And hang on to something. I'm just going to stop the bleeding and get back in the cave and catch a breath. He had done for now but there it is hard when it gets dark and I'll get you to come fix you up all right. I staggered back into the darkness of the cave and slumped against the wall trying to bandage my legs. None of us. Know all this was and would not walk away from this by his he that. Must hurt terribly You can put that away I'm on your side how did you get in the back door there's a way out if you know it x. And I'll get the others I'm not showing you the way out have you for dinner. If it would be your last you'll never find the way without. What was. I think I've made that quite clear I we want you to be our king Shadow Valley in Shadow Valley Why would I want to be Ok the fulfillment of your greatest desire and. What is that your pride has been growing of late you want to be known in fear throughout the mountain Your pride is growing ever more hungry it wants satisfaction but you can't satisfy it can you know so. How do I do that you hunger for the destruction of the bandits. Is this not your greatest desire or cany maybe it is. What can you do about it you've been holding back go Liath I want you to embrace your pride after all that's what drives all the great ones isn't it pride. Let it be hungry and if you want it badly enough if you want greatness with everything you have I can give it to you you watch you keep talking but you don't only want to those who can give me as. You can muster. This on me would be at your beck and call you would be able to wipe out or chase every bandit from these mountains. What do you think of that that would be satisfied to want it with everything you have would you not give anything you have to come and such an army and I believe I would so then we are agreed and you'll get us out of us my friends you'll show us how to get out of here oh your bridge Yes about your friends yes you'll need to leave them behind.

You need to know that folks. Folks here in town a lot of them don't believe this part of my story. Well I know it well cuz it's pretty difficult to believe they think I was sick and lived wild on the mountain crazy from my wounds. I talked with your folks about this some time ago and they're fine with me telling . Here goes. I woke up in the. Band there was soft music being played. On the back of a cane is awake bring us some food. For a family. Good morning sir if you say so yes your injuries have been attended to you should feel better soon might I say that it is an honor to have you here the entire kingdom is beside itself with excitement. Exactly 0 Give me. I am ministers screen your minister of finance consider me almost devoted servant as she rattled off I love her devotion to me the young servant brought in a platter of food that I will starve he saw my eyes light up and he came right towards me with a platter did. You just then Minister screen was swinging her arms in a ridiculously dramatic way and I came in here with. Oh I'm so sorry I did so Ok you stupid lousy. Oh no. I tried to get up and grab her by the throat. But the wound in my chest sent a shock the pain through me stuff oh. I fell back in the bad. Unable to get up everyone out out all of you can cya drink this it will help the pain whatever it was that I drank knocked me right out I must slept for hours you got rid of Minister scream you got rid of her for being the servant right I had every intention when I woke up my 6 ministers were waiting for me. All each and every one of them the most corrupt and wicked bunch that I'd ever come across. That wanted to get rid of all. And there wouldn't be anyone left. 2 of them scream minister didn't even know who are of my kingdom. First stop was the celebration stone cyan what deals so a break here the arrival of the new subjects each day at sunset when there is a new subject we celebrate but today today we celebrate the arrival of a new and glorious King. That was it that was a celebration it is a Soon of Grecian food service and it is a message we send to Africa that we tell him when another as joining us who's your guide he is the one who is preparing us for the coming soon he will tell us when we have sufficient numbers then he will lead us out to swarm over the mountain and make it was our little valley you see is a sort of holding tank until we are free you mean there's no way out of the smelly I lived to tell you there is not there has to be there is the Labyrinth when. Yes there is that show me the labyrinth this side as with roads I looked at the walls in the valley they were straight up sheer rock there was no way anyone could climb out. Took me to the far side of the valley and we stopped looking at a path that disappeared behind a wall of stone. This is the only way out of the valley but it is certain death to those that go this way those who have gone and have never come back and the sound that echoed through us certainly the sounds of monsters it's really quite thrilling to hear. The haps we should send someone so you can hear for yourself. You that go into the labyrinth what that will be necessary no one makes it to. The legend is that you become for ever lost all food for the unspeakable beasts that lives there so how do we get out we conned sire our hope is in the guide we wait for the swarm. Right he told me I could muster an Army will you can do that side but we can't get out for ever get my hands on him. How high are the valley walls I don't know cyan thousands of feet but you can build a tower a series of platforms that pyramid right up to the top of the valley don't think anything like that is it has been tried sire. There are those who have tried to climb out but they have all fallen to the end of the climb. Get something out. I'm right. Nothing makes sense here I wish I could tell you that it will get better the last stop on our little tour is for you to visit Eva who's Eva She has been here the longest she's a little crazy isn't it. This is crazy but she is wise to me she's revealing some of the blank spots for you songs like someone I need to talk to. Which way do we go back to the palace she lives in the palace Palace jail I mean her own no you wouldn't have met she is kept in the tower says Captain. Side as she is not entirely say.

By fan 7 the administration it has been serving the community of site since 1970 providing excellent dental care based on Christian principles the clinic is located on what are Metherell allowed and can be reached by phone at 234-6323 the syphon 7 dead minutes clinic is here to serve. Armageddon the Rapture eternity the anti christ the b 666 what does the Bible say of these events curious about the books of Revelation and Daniel learned about these things and more on foundation in symbols and son with James Rafferty I have or Myers live on Lewis and Jason Bradley. Well we don't have an agenda to get through this book in so many sessions so we're very open and really as we've been studying the book of Revelation salvation symbols and signs we haven't gone very far or we're really still in chapter one kind of moved around the book a little bit you know here and there and trying to get some big pictures but I love this because I want us to really understand everything that we're learning here rather than just throw a bunch of information in that we don't comprehend and that we just doesn't makes you know but we're just kind of trying to get through this thing and maybe woman remember 10 percent now let's really understand what we're learning and go point by point yeah and the sanctuary symbolism great foundation or the theme of salvation and it's vital I repeat and large is vital there are a lot of questions that people have about Revelation and that's why I'm glad you guys are are with us you know even though we've you know we're supposedly preaching and teaching this and said Are you guys novelists you know not necessarily even understanding it so you can moderate our whole conversation here and make sure that we stay on track we don't get too deep into far ahead and I want to I want to make sure that you have the power in the freedom to moderate us and to bring out questions that you might have so that as we get to this next session we're going to be talking about the importance of putting Jesus 1st. And that's what we see. As for us yeah and so I'd like us to open with a word prayer maybe you on you can pray flips and then we'll get right into it so father that I thank you so much for allowing us the privilege to open your wound and study you and green these precious truths from you so as we study now we just pray for your annoying teen and the power of the Holy Spirit in the presence of His Spirit be with us thank you jesus name him and in the. Revelation is so profoundly gospel focused that it's a wonder that people miss it now Martin Luther did miss it we talked about his preamble to revelation that was written $1522.00 he's a sick Christ isn't anywhere but then he got it 8 years later he got it and I'm sure he's thinking to himself Why did I ever How did I ever miss him yeah but I think there's a reason I think we come with a many people come to the Book of Revelation with preconceptions that they've got and like you watch that movie I watch the same movie by the way and say right here . I'm going to just be a little bit more frank here and maybe step on a few toes My wife was raised in the church one raised in Lowell and she attended her 1st revelation seminar when she was probably somewhere between 8 and 10 years of age and she went from those meetings with a fear of the end of times and the mark of the beast and the crisis of the end of time surely those meetings with the blessing of the happiness and the joy that anywhere with Jesus I can safely go anywhere anywhere fear I cannot know Ok so I'm going to say that part of the guilt and might even say the majority of the guilt for for people being afraid of Revelation is on us as Christians we as Christians bear responsibility because the way that we have presented this book and some of that has been because we know that prophecies are. People interested in so we throw up the beasts we thought the images and we talk about the end of dives and that attracts the people but I think they are living in time where people are going to be attracted by Jesus and Jesus is lovely enough and Jesus says in John Chapter 1232 I have 5 be lifted and I will what I'm going to are all everyone's going to be drawn to him so I think we should take matters worse . Now this is what I like about Revelation it begins with Jesus it's a revelation Jesus Christ and the 1st vision that John sees in Revelation and it's revelation Let's just read Revelation Chapter one. And read verses. 1011 and 12. Jason when you evil force Revelation 1101112 sure I was in the spirit on the Lord's day and heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet saying I am out when Omega the 1st in the last and what thou sayest right in the book and send it on to the 7 churches which are in Asia on 2 episodes and on and on to. How they said at Pergamon us and I'm too. Tired and I'm too sour desire to Sardis and on to Philadelphia and on to Laodicea. And I turn to see the voice that spake with me and being turned I thought 7 golden candlesticks keep going to 13. And in the midst of the 7 candlesticks one like unto the Son of man clothed with a garment down to the foot and about the paps with a golden girl Ok so
