Hello people of the internet, my name is Johnny and welcome back to a FNAF news video. This is exciting. Even though I guarantee you've already heard of this news before, I'm gonna go over it anyways. Yeah, I'm finally covering the news on the FNAF movie. A day late, a whole 24 hours late. Sorry boys. But this is exciting so of course I just had to cover it. Scott finally gives us a filming date for the movie as well as like nine or something scrapped scripts for the movie. It's insane. So I wanna go over it. I wanna give you guys my thoughts on it because there's a lot to talk about here so let's not waste any more time. Like, subscribe if you're new. Let's hop into it. So Scott completely jubated us yesterday saying bad news about the FNAF movie. So a bit of backstory of why I didn't cover this yesterday was because this was posted three minutes before one of my driving classes and I read the title. I didn't have enough time to read the entire thing. I just heard the title and the whole rest of that class I was just so disappointed because I didn't read the whole thing. I was worried that the movie wasn't gonna be made anymore, that Scott had to start over to find a brand new company but thankfully this is filled with a lot of great news. Hi everyone. Before we get to the bad news concerning the state of the FNAF movie, I wanted to share a brief history of the FNAF screenplay. It's been a long road so let's take a look at some of the screenplays that have come and gone over the years in no particular order or feel free to skip to the end really quick to see the bad news and then come back and adjoin the list winky face. Scott has trademarked all of the emoji cons like the smiley face, the winking face, the angry emoji con. It's just like his thing. It's his signature thing. Some of these came from big studios, some from big directors, some from me and some from other hired writers. I gave the screenplays a name and I'll include a brief synopsis as well as what ultimately led to each screenplay being rejected. Let's get started. The F screenplay. Big old F in chat. So the basic setup is a group of teenage troublemakers break into freddies and chaos ensues. Although a pretty basic setup, there were a lot of odd choices here which only got weirder as the story continued. The story ended up with our protagonist in a secret underground animatronic factory that was designing robots for the government. And then again another emoji con, Scott loves his emoji cons. This is interesting. So the verdict of course, what the frick, strayed way too far from the source material tossed.  Yeah, I'm glad he tossed this one. Revealing that William Afton, I'm presuming it would have been William, made the, again based off the underground facility, I'm guessing the fun times, made the fun times for the government, would be a bit strange, kind of like some Iron Man type stuff going on there. Plushies take Manhattan. Now I feel like people forgot about this, but Scott talked about this like two years ago on a Darko's interview and I'm so glad this got scrapped because it is just insane. Right? So the basic setup, plushies take Manhattan, the problems, plushies, they take over Manhattan and the verdict, it was burned with fire as it should have been. Not much to talk about here, there's two ways that I see that film going is with plush trap and an army of him or actual legitimate Freddy Fazbear plushies, like this guy just taking over Manhattan. I, yeah, toss that. The random Charlie screenplay, the basic setup Charlie and friends sneak into Freddy's after hours to retrieve a lost toy. Now he may be thinking, oh Charlie and her friends, it's probably just a book. But as it turns out, although sharing names of familiar characters from the series, these characters had nothing to do with their game and book counterparts, so I have no clue where they were going to go with that if they are not Charlie and her friends. So while featuring familiar elements of the games, it seemed too loosely based on the game and lost a lot of its impact because of it. It felt like a random bag of FNAF elements with no real stakes, meh, I'm glad he tossed this again. Well, we did know that Scott originally had the idea of making the movie about the books. I'm so glad he's going with the games because while I think the trilogy, right, the book trilogy of Charlie, John, all those guys, it could have worked. It definitely could have worked. But, and again, we're going to get into the sofa ice cream play right after this. I definitely do not think using the names and elements of the characters, but not, you know, having it be the characters themselves, it's such a bad idea. I'm so glad they scrapped that. So again, moving on to the silver ice screen plays, the basic setup here and I both worked on three versions of the silver ice screen play. So technically, this one screen play was a total of three or four over the course of about a year, trying to find the right approach to the story from the first book. Like I said, he was planning on making it about the books, but thankfully he wanted to focus more on the games problems. These were the first attempts I made myself to write a screen play after realizing it was going to be difficult to find someone else who understood the law well enough to do it. Unfortunately, it also meant that these screen plays suffered greatly from my inexperience at writing. Even Kira, with her writing expertise, could not save them. I'm so glad that Scott had the right mindset after a full year of trying to get a silver ice screen play down. I'm so glad that he moved on. Again, the books, it would have, it would have worked. I'm not going to lie. I think it would have worked, but I feel like more people will know the story of the games. So this took a lot for Scott. Again, after a year after three or four scripts of the silver eyes, it took a lot for him to say, you know what, screw it, we're going with the games. Although these had some good elements, I ultimately decided to focus on making a screen play from the games and not from the books. Again, I just talked about it. Great idea. The pawn shop screen play. This was interesting. A kid who watches after a pawn shop finds trouble when an animatronic is brought in. It turns out Freddy's had been robbed and the animatronics were taken to different locations for sale. The other animatronics come to retrieve the one at the pawn shop and the kid and his friends get roped into adventure. Problems. A creative approach, but felt a little too much like a boy and his animatronic. Too much after-school adventure, not enough horror. Seemed like a good idea at the time.  Because that is what I want in the movie. I want horror. I feel like, and as a person who just like last week watched the Banana Splits, I'm so glad they were focusing more on horror. Right? Because a comedy horror film is definitely hit or miss at some point. So I'm really, really excited that he wanted more of a horror movie than a boy and his animatronic movie. The Cassidy screen play. Diving deep, this screen play packed in a lot of lore following the story of Cassidy. One of the souls inside of Golden Freddy. Spanning multiple time periods following multiple characters and featuring lore from multiple games. This was pretty saturated, saturated to a fault. It may have been satisfying to the most hardcore fans, but it would have left the majority of people confused and lost. Hey, wait, maybe this was the most accurate screen play. Ultimately, more of a visual encyclopedia than a movie. This just wasn't satisfying even to me out. I know a lot of people would want a gigantic encyclopedia of the lore for a movie, but you got to think about this. The movie is being made not just for hardcore fans, right? The general public has to understand the story and what's going on. So if you throw in The Bind of 83, Five Missing Kids, Serial Murderer, William Afton, you know, Remnant, all that stuff, The Scooper, Baby, The Frontier Man, I'm Trying, Illusion Disc, you just cannot get the audience intrigued. That's just too much in the movie. So I'm so, so glad, again, that they are just focusing on, well, we're gonna find out later on, but I'm so glad they are focusing on what they are focusing on. Just a few more to go through, the misfit kid screen play. Single mom brings her kid to a new town. Kid finds Freddy's hilarity ensues. One of the problems in creating a modern day story with an old Freddy's setting is finding a way to connect the protagonist to the restaurant, finding a reason for them to be there and finding a reason for them to stay. The problem here was that the reason for this kid to go to Freddy's and have misadventures was too contrived and too forced. Not a bad setup, but it just did not work. If I don't care about the characters, then there's a good chance no one else will either pass. This was going to be the screen play for a while because it didn't have any serious flaws. I ultimately just decided it wasn't good enough, though. This is very interesting to think that the misfit kid, you know, a single mom bringing her kid to Freddy's and hilarity ensues, sounds like it would be a bit more of a comedy than a horror, which again, I really want horror. It's interesting to think that that was going to be the go-to screen play for the movie. Funnily enough, we will get into some time traveling ball pits soon, or at least some form of ball pits, so stay tuned for that. The ghost trackers screen play basic setup, a group of amateur ghost trackers sneak into the abandoned Freddy's. Although a very common sense set up for this sort of movie, the problem again arose about how to give these characters a connection to Freddy's itself. What ended up happening was too much of the story went to their own backstories and their own hardships and took the spotlight away from the story of Freddy's. A stronger connection between the protagonist and Freddy's was needed, lesson learned. Again, I'm super glad that they wanted to focus more on Freddy's rather than the characters themselves. Second to last one, boy, is the insane screen play. Another ghost tracker variation, this one involved the fun time and Matronik's underground ball pit tunnels and a marionette out for revenge. As some other screen plays ventured too far into adventure, this one went too far into action, two all over the place with way too many characters doing too many things. It is so, and I know I keep saying interesting, but that's the thing I say, it's so interesting to see just how different these screen plays were, you know? Like this one has the fun time and Matronik's, the marionette and underground ball pit tunnels. I don't know why Scott is so obsessed with ball pits recently. Maybe some childhood trauma, I don't know. Another ghost tracker variation, hmm. So maybe they detect the remnant in the fun time and Matronik's. I'm not really speculating much about these scrapped screen plays just because we don't really need to because they're never gonna see the light of day. It went too far into action. Again, I wanna see a horror movie and this sounds a bit like, what's it called? Willy's Wonderland, the one with the Nicholas Cage, the action horror movie. I would have been interested to see where a action FNAF movie, like what action can you have in a FNAF movie? Where would that go? I don't know, but again, we're moving on to the final screen play, the Mike screen play. Basic setup, hmm, this makes sense. Why didn't I think of this before? Problems, actually, this is a good mix. It has the best pieces from all the previous screen plays, not really any problems here. All the right characters, all the right motivations, all the right stakes. Verdict, yeah, we're going with this one. It's fun, it's scary, and it has a great central story. Just a little bit more before we hop into what I think the Mike screen play is gonna be about. Oh, right, so, on to the bad news. The bad news is that there won't be any more screen plays to add to this list since we're officially making the Mike screen play. Filming starts in the spring, smiley face emoji card, because again, you can't have a Scott post without a few emoji cards throughout it. Yeah, so the Mike screen play. It's fun, it's scary, has a great central story, all the right characters, motivations, and stakes. This is what I want. A scary but enjoyable movie with the right characters, the right motivations, and the right stakes. Now, we don't have much to go off of besides the Mike screen play. Mike, of course we all know Michael Afton, the son of William Afton, the main protagonist you could argue in the FNAF franchise, the entire franchise. Now, because this is being based off of the games, I don't know how far we are going to get into the games, because it was two years ago at this point when Scott said he wants to make three movies based off of FNAF one, two, and FNAF three. I don't know if that still holds up, because again, we've gone through so many scripts at this point, you know? Is he still sticking with the Mike screen play, but it's only FNAF one? I don't know.  I feel like that would be a lot. So I don't think they're gonna do that one. Scott really likes the screen play. So hopefully it doesn't, it's not like the other one where it just had way too many lower pieces in it. Again, I want some lower in the movie, I do, but I, again, they just cannot put too much in there because the general audience needs to know what is happening.  I like horror movies, you know? So they gotta make the movie for everyone, people who are hardcore fans and people who just don't know FNAF at all. Now, of course, the big thing is that they are filming in the spring. This is so exciting. This means for the rest of the year, we're gonna get casting calls. I doubt they're gonna be on voices.com because that's more voice acting rather than acting. So I'm guessing sites like IMDB and other sites like that. That's the only one I can think of right now. I feel like we gotta keep a close eye on that also follow Blumhouse, of course, stocklub, get as much info as we can. They did tweet out about this post, so I'm hoping that we can get just a little bit of news, you know, maybe like a few casting characters. And while we're on the topic of casting characters, I wanna give my opinion on Jack Black being in the movie.  So it'd be just like, oh, I know Jack Black, he's in this movie, I wanna go see it. That's like my least favorite thing right now in movies is when they just get a bunch of celebrities to play the characters. I think having Jack Black in the movie would be fun. It would be entertaining. I don't want him as a main character just because this movie, Blumhouse and Scott don't seem like the type of people who would want a celebrity to be the main character. You know, I feel like that is a very cheap thing for companies to do. I think having him as like a janitor would be funny, just like a small little appearance throughout the movie. A lot of people, a lot of fan-affed YouTubers have been like, hey Scott, contact me, Jason, I wanna be in the movie, I'll walk for free. I wouldn't be surprised if like Matt, Darko, Mark are in the movie. I think that's as far as they'll go though.  I will walk for free, I'll just be background character. You don't need to pay me at all. Yeah, I think at maximum we'll get Matt Pat, Markiplier, Darko. I feel like those are just the main three people that really deserve to be in that movie. But again, do not want them as main characters. Small cameos would be nice, like customers, parents in the background, that'd be cool. That's really it, I kinda talked about all I wanted to talk about. I saw this video was late by the way, but hey, I'm done with the driving class, that means more time for videos, boys. Also, it's been like 24 hours since the post came out and it already has 13,000 upvotes, so yeah, this was a big post. Thanks for watching and I'll see you all on the flip side. Goodbye. Gregory, be still. I think she's found us.


Today's subject, I get a lot of emails about this subject weekly and I just put up an instructional video of protection, training, barking on command while holding the body while moving. But a lot of people struggle with getting their dogs to talk on cue. So I'm going to show you here the Black German Shepherd Axel that I did a lot of the instructional video for protection training that I have for sale. He's the majority of the video in showing how to teach the base commands of these high level protection dog exercises. Now you would assume that he just barks naturally because he barks like crazy at this ball. So I'm going to use him just an example just to give you an idea of how I got him to speak on command because he did not speak at the ball in the beginning when I first started with him with this exercise. First objective, before going into the protection exercises, your dog will have to bark on command but a lot of people can't get that exercise achieved. So I'm going to show you here how I did it with him and how it was not easy in the beginning. He did not talk naturally. Now why is it that a lot of dogs will not talk naturally? And this dog I imported from Europe, he was doing his Shudson routines but this happens to a lot of people. When you play with your dogs, most people just give the dog a toy, right? They throw it, they let him go fetch it or they do something like sit and they give him the toy or food. So what happens is you get trapped in this whole thing of not, there's no stress, right? There's no emotion. You need to cause frustration to get your dogs to talk either at you or to something that they want. For example, one, they're toys or if they're obsessed with treats, it's just you choose whichever route. Using a ball here in this example because Axel absolutely loved playing with any kind of ball. So for him, this was the exercise I used. But if yours is highly treat motivated, you could do the same exact thing right here. But you must cause frustration in order to get the speaking. That is why most people have such a hard time getting their dogs to talk on cue. The dog has always been giving everything for free without much frustration or any at all. So they just throw things and let the dog go run for it. They bring it back. They throw it. They run about. The dog's not waiting and being frustrated and right holding off for a behavior. If it's a sit, the dog will sit and they get thrown the toy or given the toy or reward or tug a war. So those things are not going to help you. It actually hurts you if you do all those things first before teaching frustration to talk to you for something. That's why most people struggle. So here I'm going to show you how I did it with Axel. Here you'll see in the beginning, I take his ball, I throw it on the floor and I'm trying to get him to talk to the ball because I know he loves it so much. I thought this was going to be pretty quick and easy. But it didn't happen as easy or quick as I thought it was going to happen. But that's from preconditioning before I got him. So here you'll see I throw the ball, I'm holding him back, holding him and you see there he's trying to talk but he's just gasping air like it's a want to bark at it and he's looking at it and he has a little bit of air coming up from frustration but he will not get a bark out to it. So there's many things here to consider. One depending on the dog now. Is he too close to the object that he won't speak? So here I'm adjusting a little bit and I'm going to play with certain things to see what works for him. So I see in the beginning when he's very close and it's so close that he feels he has a shot at touching it, he can't get himself to speak. It's too close in his eyesight. He's too fixed in it thinking if he pushes hard enough into the line he'll have a chance at grabbing it. That didn't work for him too close. So then I start pulling him further back from it with distance to see. Now okay now I get one bark. I let him go to it just for at least the one for now. And then I'm holding him back and then I start to get now multiples. I let him go. Of course here in the end now it's just a given. Any time he sees the ball or I'm going to do he just talks. Now it's on autopilot. So here you see when we were doing the exercise without the leash on now and I was teaching him to hold there next to the leg and bark at the ball there might piece of cake. It was rah rah rah him jumping up and down next to me without a leash on knowing he cannot pursue it and go towards it. Right now the talk is on auto. Now sometimes you'll have to hear you see little Khaleesi when we're teaching her young. We have somebody holding her on a leash and a harness giving a little distance from the owner to cause frustration that she cannot get close to the body. That gap in separation that she can't close that gap and get to the owner's feet makes her get frustrated from that gap and hey hey you know why you so far right and we got the talking because of the gap and opening not being so close to the owner and here this was one of my subscribers on YouTube in Austria when he was teaching his doorman how to bark on command at a ball as well. He tied her to a pole with a harness and got distance and caused frustration from the distance and won the ball. So most cases distance is going to cause you the frustration that we're looking for to be able to get the dog to speak right on command at the objects. So this is really there's a little game to this of checking with your own dog but I would say that everybody start with a little distance first and try to work it from a little distance because when they're too close to you or the object they just fixate because it's so close in their face that the talking generally doesn't come out. So start that way give some distance and you'll probably get it much quicker with some gap and if anything you're trying another little form is I move the dog I move the dog I could kick the ball with my foot make movement and stimulation try to move them and keep some gap keeping the toy moving holding back and kicking it and making that prey drive but you got to hold again a little distance and see if that'll work. So as many versions and different ways to try to get a dog to talk. Now here just as a same concept I'm teaching this dog that when the owner falls to the floor to talk on cue. So the owner has a little issue that it's possible in her life that's happened or before that if she falls we want the dog to talk at her right to alert people that she has fallen. So the way to do this is we're teaching to talk at her not away from her to people because it's very difficult to teach externally but same concept of frustration.  Okay now this is an opposite of how we usually teach things because for you guys out there teaching your dogs how to bark at something for protection purposes or whatever you always want to bring the reward to them after they speak. Okay whether it's treat toy they bark either you throw something at them where they are or you walk in and you give it to them where they are where they're speaking not to close the gap because then they're always gonna be thinking pushing forward and the talk will be delayed because they're always thinking they can push towards you for reward. So here in this particular case we do the opposite because of the behavior that we want to cause in the end. Talking at her if she ever falls and passes out and needs help. So I'm keeping her off the dog because she's so used to getting treats for free that she wants to push to the hand right and just get to the hand and open it up and eat the treat without talking. So I hold her off the hand that she can't get to it or close to it and we get the talking and in this particular case the cure for the dog is when the girl's hand opens up means she did it well and the dog is allowed to close the gap and get the treat out of the hand. So doing this opposite of how we would do it with the public with the talking okay only difference but I had to cause that little gap that the dog can't touch the hand with the nose to get the talking. Okay if the dog got too close and tried all the time it wouldn't talk it just wanted to push the owner into opening the hand to let go without any talking. So there's many different variations of how to do speaking on command depending on the exercise that you want done in the end the outlook of the exercise how it needs to be performed in the end. So till next time Richard Heinz, Miami Doggwasser.


One of the benefits of being an early adopter for the platform is to help us shape what this platform looks like so that it can suit your needs. So if you have a particular technical configuration or use a particular OEM or you have this certain topology, we can ensure that the platform is designed to incorporate that. So that's where the value in working with us at this stage. And then certainly, we are in the process of engaging these corporate buyers and part of the way we're doing that is by highlighting projects. So engaging with us now, particularly if we're able to work on the technical integration side, would it help us highlight and promote the projects that these developers are doing? And frankly, we just have a higher likelihood of getting the corporate interested in purchasing DRETs from those projects.


What's going on guys mr. V here welcome to another video guys so in today's video I want to just break down some of the traits that I did today And this is something that I want to start doing here on the channel Just kind of break down some of my traits if that something that you guys are interested in and I see some positive feedback I'm gonna keep doing more and more of these on the channel But before we get started guys if you're new to the channel We took about how to earn money how to save money how to invest and build wealth So if that's something that interests you go ahead and hit that subscribe button Any notification bell so you don't miss out on new content So let's jump right in and kind of take a look at some of the traits that I did today So the first the first one that I did was to guess about mrna See I can bring that up here And so basically this particular Start started the day so you can see here the gray zone That is after hours old pre-market so by this so this is pre-market So open up around six o'clock my time and just at a gap and if you can see it just picked up stamen Flew all the way up. So I got in I got in the trade somewhere around here Around two 206 207 right there No, I'm gonna move that down a little bit. I'm somewhere around there 206 207 So that's where I entered the trade and again, this is pre-market So I don't have bracket orders during pre-market So I have when I go in the trade I once my position is failed Then I have to go back in again real quick and set up a sell position Just so I can easily cash the top or I can you know Cash the bottom and exit the trade real quick So I I I got in here and you can squeeze all the way up to around here And I took profit and and got out so all the way to the top here around four dollars as I'm changed I took profit and got out and again, I didn't want to be a greedy savage But see what happens as soon as I got out with the profit it squeezed again all the way up before Pulling back here and then consolidating and finally pulling back and then so that was the first trade And then market opens this thing just collapsed and just went down to about a dollar 88 and then somewhere around 10 30 10 35 it just started squeezing back up again So as soon as it broke so down I didn't trade it down here Um, but that because I was talking like hey, maybe this is just a false breakout Then as soon as it crosses V what begin look at that squeeze So I got in somewhere around two or seven and squeeze all the way up here to about three three two and then I got out and then Yeah, it's no it consolidated around here and make this run again I didn't trade this this piece of it. Um, because I I mean I really secure some profit there I didn't want to be a greedy savage. So that was one Um, and then looked how that thing is just finally ended up the day Um, I was just looking in and out. I didn't really trade it that much again second one that I traded was a TGC So this was another one that really Started up if you can see here If you look here look at the charts. So this is pre market and see what happened And then market opens it just kind of pulled back down. I didn't trade this right here Is a whole move right? I didn't trade that but see it pulls back all the way down down down down down down And that was that was how it ended. So this is this is only part that I traded For this particular stock Right here. So I traded this squeeze all the way up to about four three So I think I made about 200 something dollars in this in this trade here. So Those were the two key ones that I did um, and I made another trade with um, I think was jf Uh, you I think yep jfu. So I I so I yeah, so I did that trade there Um, I'm see this is the one so let's see where I got in here So jfu I think I did jfu after hours when the market closed. So yes, I bought jfu After hours and just kind of get that squeeze all the way up there. So, um, This is just a quick review guys. I'm going to do an in-depth breakdown of What I'm working on. So if this is you guys like it's kind of breakdown I'm going to go in depth again and really Show you some of the reasons why I got in My exit. So this is just like a sample just to see if this is you guys are interested In this kind of video. Um, overall it was a good day Um, so I I can't really complain about, uh, you know, what I did No ended up with profit of about $2,000 which is awesome. So let me know in the comment section if you like the video and as always Stay motivated


Very much for coming to this talk. I want to talk about a topic that I've heard very little about The second generation of JavaScript technologies and libraries that have arisen over the past years And I want to maybe first of all talk about what I would mean by the first generation And then introduce you to the second generation and hopefully you'll learn about some new technologies out there So who I am? My name is here John I work for Oracle as a developer in particular on open source projects So for a long time I've worked on net beans in Apache. I'm the Apache PMC chair for net beans It's an Apache project now Also work on something else called Oracle Jet, which is a front-end toolkit for doing user interface development Free open source and I've recently written or put together a book of interviews with developer advocates So it's about 780 pages long interviews with people who are advocates for different technologies And how they ended up being that and what their day looks like and the ethical dilemmas of being a developer advocate If you would like to review this book, let me know and I can get you a free copy for your blog or whatever It's out there so to very quickly get to the point JavaScript's been around for a while and One could talk about a first generation of Frameworks and libraries having having been developed at some stage. So first of all initially we had Solutions like jQuery and Mood Tools and and dojo and you know jQuery these types of frameworks and libraries initially and then maybe a second sub generation here With backbone and ember and knockout and angle of JS and more recently all the discussion is basically about Whether to use Angular or view or react. That's basically in terms of front-end. That's the discussion that you hear all the time now Of course, we know that This massive proliferation of JavaScript libraries and technologies is wonderful on the one side because it shows that There's innovation and there's new ideas and so on but on the other side That means it's quite quite a big problem to make the right choices Now what is the right choice to make and so you spend some time learning grunt For your for your builds and you're very happy with your knowledge of grunt and then your colleague tells you yes But you should actually be doing gulp now So then you spend some time learning gulp and you're very comfortable with gulp and guess what brunch is apparently the new gulp And in the meantime there's something else again and this constant churn is really very specific and very typical to the JavaScript ecosystem which simply shows that it's it's a vibrant constantly developing ecosystem, but Definitely presents problems if you're creating something more serious Not some hobby project and some small project project, but something more significant So that I would say the three key problems are first of all churn So this this constant technology change that you have to keep a constantly keep up with and it's not on the level of that You have to keep up with JavaScript, but it's that you have to keep up with all these technologies as whole ecosystem around it And what you then also see developing is the concept of custom stats So of course if you use view you don't just use view you use seven things plus view And if you use react you use seven things plus react and angular as well You know if you want a component library these kinds of solutions don't provide them out of the box So you guys somewhere else for the component library and you got somewhere else for the build system And as soon as you have a problem and you go online to stack overflow for a solution It turns out it's a great solution However, you're not using the two or three things that are specific to the solution on stack overflow You're using a whole different stack. So everyone has their own custom stacks, which of course is not a deal And what you also find is that people are no longer JavaScript developers, but the view developers or angular developers or react developers I mean, that's crazy in a few years time those Technologies won't be there and you can't be that tightly coupled to these solutions So, you know these statements here for the first time in history we have people identifying by framework instead of language and People identifying themselves with a framework is a tragedy This is what I would like to post to you and This becomes even more complicated Because over the past years large enterprises have started using JavaScript as a front-end solution So I come from Oracle, but in IBM in Microsoft Google, you know, you can you can really see how serious JavaScript is by the fact that the large vendors are adopting it Not as an experimental thing or prototyping, but real creating real serious applications and for their business using JavaScript Which makes this problem or no more complicated? Because in the enterprise space, it's not about what is cool and what is new It's about what is stable and reliable and what what is still meant to be maintainable in a few years time So then you aren't running after the latest hype, but you're running after or trying to find something stable and and reliable So why are the enterprises now looking or have been looking over the past years at JavaScript? In particular because the browser is everywhere. I mean if there was a competition between platforms The browser platform is one it's on all devices and JavaScript is built natively into it So it makes sense to natively use JavaScript rather than proprietary abstractions that the larger vendors have developed internally but to use JavaScript directly and also mobile development and You know young developers coming straight from colleges and so on no JavaScript And so their skills have a far closer match with the JavaScript world than some proprietary technology So Oracle has a bunch of abstractions on top of JavaScript and an SAP does and all of these different organizations do but it takes some time to learn those things and Plus when a developer now comes for an interview at an organization The organization isn't interviewing them But the the developer is interviewing the company because there is so much work as a developer you can go anywhere So are you going to go somewhere where there is a free open source technology stack where your skills that you pick up can Be transferred to somewhere else or are you going to invest time learning something very proprietary to what that particular vendor is doing? So for that reason these organizations simply to be able to attract new developer staff are forced To move into the open source world to create these kinds of solutions these kinds of stacks that will attract developers So yes, everyone knows basic JavaScript in one way or another You know how deep that knowledge is is a different question, but the enterprise likes JavaScript definitely so for example You know to give to give very simple examples as a starting point Oracle SAP Microsoft are all doing things on the front end with JavaScript in some cases node on the back end But could be Java could be whatever but the front end definitely is Very big in JavaScript in the large vendor space. So what kinds of applications are they creating? So in the case of mobile, I mean these are logistics health care type applications But I have very specific requirements that are not common outside the the large vendor space So for example the ability to translate strings. So that's a Russian app on the end there So some localization solution you don't want every single department in your large vendor Figuring out localization themselves and also these large vendors have to follow specifications. So the question is You know keeping up its specifications. It's the question of working out as a solution around localization It's thinking about accessibility as well. So there's this accessibility requirements and just large vendors have to meet and so all of these kind of Enterprise level requirements have to be met somehow and aren't met out of the box by these first generation Libraries and frameworks. They don't provide these kinds of higher-level features these kinds of enterprise features Including graphs and charts and other components. So it's a real problem these kinds of very You know interactive very graphic very UI oriented applications typically created a lot in the in the in the large vendor space as well looking like this Or mobile apps. So these are all kind of in the logistics health care Finance worlds is where these are used now here are some of the typical requirements So one thing is you find that the people working on these on these applications at the large vendors are coming from other technologies From Java or from dot-net or from somewhere else and suddenly they're using JavaScript for the first time So this is whole transition to the JavaScript world meaning that there has to be this low threshold Entry point into creating these UIs They have to be out of the box solutions You don't want everyone in your organization or you don't want organizations within your company all figuring out on their own What stack that should be using but needs to be a standardization at least across the company So comprehensiveness out and then accessibility and standards in particular and in terms of standards of w3c web components standard for Reusability the other thing you find which is so Wonderful and and fun on the one hand, but problematic on the other is you find a wonderful new library online you start using it and You can do the hello world scenario that's in the documentation on the site You want to get one step further and you can't and then you contact the amazing person who created the library and they say Yes, I was doing that last week. I'm doing something else now. Hey, it's open source Why don't you contribute documentation, you know, and and that's over a nice but in the interface space It's very problematic because you want stability and reliability and so on So aside from these organizations, there's a whole bunch of other ones that might surprise you So there's these ones, but there's also PayPal Walmart financial times uber air BNB Because nowadays every organization is an IT organization So if I show you some examples of this, so Kraken, ah, you can't see my screen mid-flow Great so what we see here is something called Kraken JS and Look at the top right. That's PayPal So PayPal has developed an internal technology stack that they're using and they've open-sourced it. It's on GitHub Who else is on GitHub? uber uber is a is an IT organization Ubers on GitHub their technology stack that they use for their UIs and other parts of their application is online Airbnb is on GitHub and Walmart is not a shop. It's an IT organization The financial times not a new not a newspaper. It's an IT organization All these different organizations are IT organizations and many of them have online presences Where they make available their technology stack for one reason or another so this is the key tip I want to Bring across is that a lot of the research in this area a lot of the standardization in this area within organizations There is the result of that is on GitHub and you can take a look at that So you've seen some of these Now here are some characteristics of the second generation So I'll call this the second generation a gathering of the different parts that are available from the first generation And making a comprehensive solution out of it. So first of all not cool These are not the latest cutting edge libraries and frameworks and so on but they're stable Which is much more important in this kind of environment and the other points is they're not frameworks, but they're toolkits and Toolkits kind of implies flexibility and modularity as something that can be extended because we know the JavaScript ecosystem is changing all the Time and new solutions are coming out all the time. So the most important thing To think about is the architecture of an application since the stack is going to change To make it as loosely structured as possible so that you can extend it and add and remove from it and the following of standards Such as a web component specification such as accessibility guidelines and so on But the key questions so before you rush off to GitHub and you find Some random cool stack key questions to key questions to ask yourself. First of all is What does it mean for an organization to put their stack on get up? it could mean that's we don't care about it anymore and We're going to pretend that we care about the community So we're going to put it on get up and say hey, it's there and please start using it It could be so it could be a sign that the company behind it doesn't care that much about the technology stack So you need to really evaluate You can and you can see them in get up You can see what poor requests are coming in how the community is operating who is checking in. I mean, that's a wonderful thing But get up. It's all transparent. So that's that's kind of the these the sort of side effect for these organizations They can't pretend that that they're contributing to this Because you can all see it. It's all on get up. That's really wonderful about it And secondly before you pick one of these stacks think about whether the business that that's that stack was created for is Comparable to the business that you're doing. So for example, I and G big bank They have their technology stack on get up you should ask yourself is my business comparable to what I and G is doing Am I also in the financial world or if I'm using uber solution is what I'm doing comparable to uber So try and map your requirements to what these organizations are doing and based on that evaluate the stacks So in the case of Oracle here is an example So here is a this is completely free open source front and stack you can see the server is empty it can be anything on the back end dated coming from anywhere and Everything is on the client. So it's a pure client solution And it's all free open source stuff. So Knockout is in there. It's not how to cool. No, it's not cool But it's stable and it's got documentation and it's lots of things on stack overflow Knockout is in there require J. S is in there. It's required J. It's cool. No, but it's stable So these kinds of considerations make sense in This kind of environment So in our case these kinds these are the typical libraries These are the standard libraries that every Oracle front-end application now has so it makes use of of jQuery which is now Being replaced by web components. That's a pure web component based solution required J s for modularity And knockout and optionally type script either type script or JavaScript Cordova to get it onto the app stores and optionally web back So if we take a look We take a look at the end Here are the typical enterprise requirements for these large vendors. So stability proven tool set That's really critical responsive design. You don't want everyone in the organization figuring out how to do responsive design and Accessibility internationalization data visualization you have concerns about security about performance standards You want to empower business users? So not only a code oriented technology stack But also a WYSIWYG solution in the browser and documentation and support very important and in that way new young developers can be They would stay far away from them especially now where you can go anywhere and everyone is working with With these solutions open source So the key challenge that I would want to give you with is maybe stop comparing angular redact and view instead compare uber here BNB Oracle Microsoft find the Find on GitHub the stacks that place places match your requirements Make sure that they are that they are there that they're alive and well and that should be Being further developed in the digital community around it and so on And based on that make those choices The second point is we need to I think educate our community about the pitfalls of being so closely focused on the first generation Because these organizations even though like these large vendors even though they have taken the second generation approach They're having a hard time attracting new developers anyway But in case of Oracle for example, they knock out and required your assets adopted for completely valid reasons But then the developer comes for an interview and says great. You're doing JavaScript, but I'm a view developer Or I'm a react developer or whatever. So I would Challenge us to educate our communities that that this is a dangerous approach And that orientating and identifying yourself deftly with a particular framework the library is is not Sustainable so investigate second generation technologies and actively contribute to them as well Find that stack that is closest to your requirements And actively contribute to it to actually text whether your organization will accept your poor requests and enable you to actually contribute And to put it into a picture Are you focused on hype or on health? Already using the latest coolest thing or are you using things that are stable and reliable and that will still be Maintainable in a few years time


Searching still for their first clean-and-gill of 2024, the Bradford City build on their clean quarter-final subsets in the Christian Street Motors trophy. There's a saffron-woken AFC Wimbledon to the University of Bradford City. The Johns' final quarter-final heard on a few days ago in the same competition. The saffron-wok started a few points to it from the playing of Spock's in week two. It's like a Josh Kelly and on-loan Palace The defendant, Fokie Barmer, is going to stay a beautiful saffron-wok Catchy, University of Bradford Stadium surface. Difficult for the players to do with in certain areas, in wide areas. His Gilead bowler can to get the host on the front foot. The path of the front man, Jan. With teasing feet to work it out to the far side. And Richards, darts to the dead ball line. This crosses half-blocked out, still with Bradford though on the edge. Gilead, met by the challenger Beguil, who stabs it behind for a corner. Good start this for the hosts. Alex on the side, desperate for a positive afternoon in lead two. Taking short, worked into the melting pot. Where will it drop? Rifle goal was by Kelly. Bradford fans want a handball. Richards, the referee says play on. Still with Bradford. Back into the danger area. Tom Kinsom spoons it over the bar. Big chance for the Norwich. The defender, off his foot in the end. Unable to keep on top of the chance. Plus seven lead games, Graham Alexander's side. Bradford, won eight games consecutively without a win. 20-21, a three-kick for the visitors. Experienced the Browns in forward. They're going to hit tennis now. The path of Bradford's side. Better that for Johnny Jackson's visitors. Apes AFC Wimbledon, swung it towards the near post. The Bradford man at the near post, Sonoma Beguil, wants a spot kick. Around 300 travelling AFC Wimbledon fans feel they should have a spot kick. Take another look. Beguil fouled there. Pulled down by Platt. You've seen penalties given for that. Three-chapman. Get to create down the far touch line. Swung in towards near post area. Stabbed away by the visitors. Get up the pitch now with Brad Halliday in the centre circle. Apes Able forward to test out Apes Wimbledon again. Effort from Giliath. Good save by Bass. Loan to his right. A loan spell at Bradford in 2022. Apes Wimbledon from Sunderland, of course. The Don's number one under Johnny Jackson this season. Obviously last season. Scrappy out from the back from the visitors. To his right and left here. Still going effort. From Reigns, straight out. Alex Bass. Chapman finding space. Letting fly. Cut to save at the end for the keeper. Yes, he won only one of their last nine away lead games. Failed to score in five of those as well. Even first half with a big set piece opportunity here for the host. Yellow card given to him. Hauling down. Jay Young Wright almost on the line of the penalty box. Will be an opportunity for Chapman. Scored a free kick in the week in the cup. Harry Chapman. On this occasion, doesn't get it right. What a fine as the Bristol Street Motorstrophy in the week. On this occasion, unable to pick up that top corner. His first half, the FC Wimbledon front man. Service. Increasingly cut up. Tint towards the box. Headed on at the far post. Thanks for saving the walker to make. Pretty little with the delivery. Headed goal with six yards out. Comfortable enough for the former Chelsea man between the sticks for Bradford, though. Big opportunity running on to Richie Smallwood. Just unable to catch it cleanly. About eight yards out. A big chance for the midfielder. Huge chance for Bradford. Game since Graham Alexander took over in November. Looking maybe at times. Fragile comes to confidence. His beguile. Deep down in the corner, in a tussle with Tom Kinson. It's beguiled down under the challenge. And the referee gives a free kick the other way. But the simulation. But for diving. Joyce, took one look at it. Got the yellow card out for the striker. Malfaction from the University of Bradford Stadium in the first half. To be broken is Richards. And close on a couple of occasions, Alex Gillian forwarded the space on the edge of the box. Took the invitation. Not far wide of Alex Pass's goal. Dandy Cook, Kavanaugh, Nebiusen trying himself into the fast stick as well. Neither able to make contact. Be pointed with an excellent cross. Into a brilliant area across the face of Goal. Bradford unbeaten in their last five league games against the Dons. This afternoon may not be enough. Richard's first time. In towards Cook. Just won't settle for Andy Cook. 13 goals this season. 31 last campaign. The Andy Cook of last season smashes that in first time. It's just not quite happening for Bradford City right now. Late on to commit some shirts forward. To attack this set piece. Clipped into the danger area. Headed on. Dashed away. And there goes the full-time whistle. The University of Bradford Stadium. Bradford wingless now in eight games. Four for Graham Alexander's side in lead two. Troubling and concerning for the hosts. AFC Wimbledon with this point on the road. Stay in touch with lead two's top seven. Two words we have between both sets of players in the time whistle. Direction of the referee. Lost choice as well. Point of peace. It finishes. Full time. Bradford City Nail. AFC Wimbledon Nail.


Micah chapter 4. We'll begin reading together at verse 1. I'll read to verse 3, and we'll get into our study. Micah chapter 4, beginning at verse 1, reading to verse 3, Now it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established on the top of the mountain, and shall be exalted above the hills. People shall flow to it. Many nations shall come and say, come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, and we shall walk in his paths. For out of Zion the law shall go forth, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He shall judge between many peoples and rebuke strong nations far off. They shall beat their swords into plowshares, their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. The first three chapters as we've been going through the book of Micah deal with God bringing judgment, and we've been seeing that as we've been going through this book. And we've seen that God is bringing judgment on the nation for a variety of reasons, but especially because of their idolatry. And last time we were together, we were in chapter three. And in chapter three I was pointing out that the false prophets of Israel were going to be judged because they were leading people astray. Remember what it says in chapter three verses five through seven how it says, thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who make my people stray, who chant peace while they chew with their teeth, but who prepare war against him, who puts nothing into their mouths. Therefore you shall have night without vision. You shall have darkness without divination. The sun shall go down on the prophets, and the day shall be dark for them. So the seers shall be ashamed. The diviners abashed. Indeed they shall all cover their lips for there's no answer from God. So he had spoken and he had said that he was going to bring judgment, especially speaking concerning these false prophets. But in contrast as we've been going through the book of Micah, Micah has made it very clear that in contrast to the false prophets that he himself was a true prophet. He had said in chapter three verse eight, truly I am full of power by the spirit of the Lord and of justice and might to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin. And so he said that I am, this is what he's saying. He is saying I am a true prophet. I've been sent by God. I have a message. It is a message that will reveal the transgression of the nation and I as a prophet am full of the Holy Spirit and that's one who is empowering me. And so as this is taking place and as he's bringing this message, we've already seen this but let me refresh your memory. He was speaking the truth to them but they wanted him to be quiet. They wanted him to leave them alone. In chapter two we had seen in verse six they had said do not prattle. You say to those who prophesy so they shall not prophesy to you. They shall not return insult for insult.   We don't want to hear it.  And so he says as a true prophet I've brought a word of judgment that is to come. The false prophets are saying to you that there is peace but God had stated in other places they say there is going to be peace but there is no peace. And so we've been looking at the contrast between the message of the true prophet and the message the false prophets were bringing. Now somebody says how do you know the difference between a true prophecy and a false prophecy? How do you know that in the Bible when you're reading it what was true and what was not true? How did the children of Israel know when something was true and when something was not true? And all you need to do if you take notes you might want to note Deuteronomy chapters 13 and Deuteronomy chapter 18. Those two chapters early in the history of Israel were given to the children of Israel in order that as God was speaking to them that they would be able to test whether or not somebody was speaking in the name of the Lord. In chapter 13 it speaks concerning those who are coming and speaking and he says what they're saying may come to pass but the problem is if this person says come and let us follow other gods God says do not follow that person because I have not sent him. Then later on and I'll read this to you in chapter 18 of Deuteronomy he said in verse 21 and 22 if you say in your heart how shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord if the thing does not happen or come to pass that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken the prophet has spoken it presumptuously you shall not be afraid of him. So on the one hand if a false prophet speaks and takes you away from God he said be not afraid of that prophet he is not speaking for me he's taking you away from me or if the person is speaking and what he says does not come to pass he's speaking presumptuously and thus you shall have no fear of him. You see a true prophet in the Old Testament is really clearly presented as a person who when they give a prophecy it brings a honoring glory to God and it's always a hundred percent accurate and so that's how you see it. So we're coming up pretty soon to New Year's and they'll have these magazines or these newspapers that are at the checkout stand when you're leaving the store and it'll say you know five prophets making their prophecies for 2017 and you can take that home and use it to line the bird cage because none of that is true they're always always wrong and God says don't believe them because they're not speaking for me. Well Micah was speaking in the name of the Lord.  You see the people had sinned and now it's necessary for God to chastise them and the punishment that he's bringing as we're looking at these chapters together is severe but it is intended to bring them back to him. In Deuteronomy in chapter 8 verse 5 it says you should know in your heart that as a man chasens his son so the Lord your God chasens you so God is bringing judgment a punishment upon you because that's what fathers do in Proverbs 3 11 and 12 it reads my son do not despise the chastening of the Lord nor detest his correction for whom the Lord loves he corrects just as a father the son in whom he delights and so because he loves them he's going to deal with their sin and the judgment will be severe but he will not completely abandon them and so what we see here as we open up chapter 4 is that the chapter begins with a prophecy a prophecy of future glory it will still speak of judgment we'll see that as we go through chapter 4 but it also reveals God's intention for their future so beginning at verse 1 it says it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established on the top of the mountains shall be exalted above the hills and peoples shall flow to it now you might notice those of you who've been walking with the Lord for a while those of you who've been reading your bible and all you might notice that these verses here are very similar to verses you find in another prophetic book it's found in the book of Isaiah there are these there is a similarity to what is being said here that was stated in the time of Isaiah and you need to remember that Micah and Isaiah actually lived and ministered at the same time and they prophesied a similar message on occasion and so when you take these verses and it says many nations shall come and say come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord to the house of God Jacob he will teach us his ways we shall walk in his path out of Zion the law shall go forth the word of the Lord from Jerusalem you can see a similar thought in Isaiah chapter two in Isaiah chapter two and I'm going to read it to you verses two through four this is what Isaiah said it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established on the top of the mountains and shall be exalted above the hills and all nations shall flow to it many people shall come and say come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord to the house of the God of Jacob he will teach us his ways we shall walk in his path for out of Zion shall go forth the law and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem he shall judge between the nations and rebuke many people they shall beat their swords into plowshares their spears into pruning hooks nation shall not lift up sword against nation neither shall they learn war anymore and so these contemporaries were given by the spirit of the Lord a similar message and so that's why you'll see it in Isaiah and that's why you'll see the same thing here in Micah we need to remember that the nation is filled with idolatry and as we've been looking at Micah as well as Amos we noticed that it was governed the nation was governed by thieves who were ruling by violence and graft justice was no longer afforded to the least in society the widows and the orphans and because of this God had said that he would turn his hand against them as if they were his enemies and the reason he was going to do that is he was going to cleanse the evil from amongst them but he wasn't going to completely destroy them you see the cleansing ultimately will occur completely in the future and that is going to lead to restoration we'll see that in just a moment in this chapter now these promises that we're looking at here in Micah and the same promises that were given on in Isaiah were what are called messianic they refer to messiah and so this is for telling the future work that God is going to perform through messiah for them when you look in the Old Testament book of Jeremiah in chapter 33 verses 15 and 16 it says in those days and at that time I will cause to grow up to David a branch of righteousness he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the earth in those days Judah will be saved Jerusalem will dwell safely and this is the name by which he will be called the Lord our righteousness and so this is a prophecy concerning the time that messiah will rule and reign now God's promise is that he's going to restore them when messiah rules and reigns in Jerusalem when messiah rules all transgression will be dealt with when you look back at Isaiah if you take notes Isaiah 1 verse 28 it reads the destruction of transgressors and of sinners shall be together and those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed well Micah is echoing a similar prophecy as he proclaims this to the to the nation now in Micah chapter 3 verse 12 he had he had predicted that Jerusalem would be leveled and become a heap of ruins but now he moves beyond the destruction of Jerusalem by Babylon as well as the future destruction through Rome and he moves beyond all destructions of the city and he begins to speak of what he calls the latter days notice that in verse 1 it shall come to pass in the latter days latter days are also referred to in scripture as the last days also spoken of as the last times and so this is speaking specifically of end time events the last days is a technical term and what it does is it speaks of God moving in judgment against all evil and Jesus uses a similar term but he actually speaks of the last days in this way he'll speak of tribulation and he'll also speak of great tribulation and as we're studying Matthew some of you are traveling with me through Matthew and we're going to enter into chapter 19 some day and then just a few chapters later another year and a half we'll be looking at chapter 24 and in chapter 24 of Matthew that's where Jesus gives us this tremendous insight into future events and so he speaks concerning the time that is referred to as Jacob's trouble it's referred to as tribulation but Jesus will speak of it as not only tribulation which refers to the first three and a half years of this tribulation period but then he says and then shall there be great tribulation so the tribulation period which is a seven-year period where God pours out his wrath on Christ's rejected the Christ's rejecting world it's called the tribulation is divided into two aspects there is tribulation and then great tribulation three and a half years of of tribulation three and a half years of what is called great tribulation and so as we're looking at this that all makes up part of what is called the last days last times and so that's what he's referring to here when he's speaking concerning the latter days see the tribulation is is relatively short it's it's seven years but in the tribulation at the end of it is when Jesus will return to earth the return of Christ concludes the tribulation and then he's going to establish his kingdom on earth and so the last days includes the tribulation the return of Jesus and what is called the millennial kingdom or the thousand year reign of Christ and so that helps us when you understand that that helps us to see that Micah is not speaking of near events alone but he's speaking when he uses the term latter days he's speaking of distant future events and so in this time in verse one he says it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established on the top of the mountain and shall be exalted above the hills and peoples shall flow to it and so the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established she says on the top of the mountains Zechariah 14 in verse 10 says all the land shall be turned into a plane but Jerusalem shall be raised up and so there's going to be a time when it is the center if you will and the people it says will flow to it in other words many nations shall come and they're going to speak speak in desire to know more of the Lord it's interesting how it says that people shall flow to it that word flow is an interesting word that that speaks of being driven by internal desire there's going to be something within them that is going to provoke them internally to want to go up to the mountain of the Lord in order to worship there's going to be something that causes them to say come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord to the house of God of Jacob why he will teach us his ways we shall walk in his paths for out of Zion the law shall go forth in the word of the Lord from Jerusalem there's going to be an internal drawing to the people to want to come and to worship the Lord there's going to be something marvelous that is within that causes them to desire to hear the word of the Lord now that is in the very end we have a a foretaste of that by the way now when I when I was a young man before I got saved if you had said to me let's go to a party I just said yes let us go and and many of you in this room know exactly what I mean there's going to party where where's it going to be let's get out of here let's go and is it it it didn't matter if it was on Friday it didn't matter if it sat or your Wednesday it didn't matter party yes that's something I enjoy let's go that was just the way it is but if you had said to me which it was on occasion hey you want to go to a bible study you've got to be kidding why would I want to go to a bible study I I didn't get witnessed to by the way very much during my young teen years but I do remember in 1966 it was the summer of 1960 actually the summer of 1967 I was 16 yet to be 17 I was at the beach I believe it was Newport and I was laying there as a 16 almost 17 year old boy in front of mine bill who I meet with now you know every month and mentor we were kids just laying on our beach blankets watching the bikinis walk by I still remember I still remember a guy walking up to me and kneeling down wanting to talk to me about God he wanted to witness to me about Jesus I only was witnessed to maybe two or three times before I came to faith in Christ by strangers but I do remember that because I was always fairly respectful to believers in God just not interested in their beliefs but I remember how awkward it felt that here I am taking in all of these bouncing beauties as they're going by in their bikinis and this guy wants to talk to me about good stuff about God and holiness and you've got to be kidding me you know you're ruining my daydream I was that way if there was a party yes if there's you know drinking and drugs absolutely if they give it to you for free that's even better that was my life and that's the life of many in this room many of you understand what I'm saying partying all of that I had a hunger for that that was what drove me the next party the next drink the next joint that's a fact that's what drove me at that time then I got saved come and let us go to the house of the Lord became the internal driving of my life whereas I used to go to the party to get high now I went to church to get we used to call it a spiritual high and I loved the spiritual high because I never took the risk of being pulled over for driving under the influence of the spirit I just they didn't arrest me and make me do one of those little walks and this like that you know what I'm saying there was no holy ghost hangovers you know and I wasn't worried about the harm that I had done to somebody the night before what I had stolen from them or whatever I didn't have any of that anymore and so as when I got saved at the age of 20 as I used to be so excited about going to a party and some of you know what I'm saying when you know yeah let's go party now they were saying there's a bible study there's a bible study in La Habra man there's a bible study in Long Beach there's a bible study in Costa Mesa and we'd say let's go and see that's that internal drive I don't know if someone forced you to come to church tonight some of you probably yeah but see I wasn't forced to go to bible studies I said come and let us go to the house of the lord there's this internal pushing this desire to be in the word to be around those who love Jesus Christ listen all day long I walk in the world and my feet get dirty from that walk and I need a place where my feet can be washed and Jesus is the one who takes that base and it takes that towel and puts your feet in it and washes it and that comes through the word of God and so for me it's exciting to be able to get into the word of God and it's more exciting when the word of God gets in me because it changes my life you see that's how you make the best decisions the best decisions you'll ever make are the ones led by the spirit the worst ones are the ones that are not informed by the word of God and you just go out and say well let's see no I want to make my decisions based on the spirit's leading and the words direction and so there's a hunger and that's what this is speaking about people will flow to it many nations shall come and say come and let us go up to the house of the lord there's a divine drive that that that internal desire and and they want to go and and it's one of these things that it's a spontaneous movement that they all gather together and people are going to recognize that God is once again with his people and they will be internally driven to worship him. Zechariah tells us in chapter 8 verse 23 in those days 10 men from every language of the nation shall grasp the sleeve of a Jewish man saying let us go with you for we have heard that God is with you I want to go with you some of you have had friends who have said this to you in a similar way they're not saying it like they're not grabbing your sleeve necessarily saying I know that God is with you but they're saying things like what's happened to you what happened to you something's different about you and then you say you know what I got my life right with the Lord that's how it was with me when I first got saved I got right with the Lord really where you going I go to Calvary Chapel really God is with you and my friends came my friends would come to church because they saw there's something in me that they don't have and that's what's going to take place in these latter days that he's speaking about they'll take the sleeve and they'll say we have heard that God is with you you see when Messiah reigns the nation of Israel will be known as the headquarters of Messiah and when people desire to worship God they will come to those they know worship him that's how you by the way can be the best witness somebody said I wish I could quote the person who said it we all know this quote preach the gospel at all times and when necessary use words live the gospel out may that be the way that we live so that people actually will look at us and say what is it that drives you what is it that motivates you what is it that has made you different that they may not say it like that they may even be sarcastic they may even kind of put you down a little bit they may want to shame you well you know but they're saying the same thing what they're saying is something happened to you and I don't know what it is and I don't know whether or not I think it's good or bad but I would like to know what it is and then you say you know I got saved that's what happened to me I had a friend of mine his name was Paul Paul lived in a place up north Pacific Grove I got saved I went with my friend Bill and another guy another guy named Bill we drove from Norwalk we went up to the Pacific Grove and I wanted to visit my friend Paul and when we went there to his house it was just before I went into the military when we went to his apartment as I came in with my two friends Paul said Dave wait a minute I invited some friends I wanted them to meet you and I said oh really now Paul was from Whittier but now he's living in Pacific Grove I happen to think Pacific Grove is a beautiful place by the way I don't know how many of you have had a chance to go up there it's a gorgeous place and so as I was up there I was thinking what a beautiful place this is and Paul's living in a little apartment there and it's really nice and I hadn't been there for about four months and the last time I had been there was during a time that was called the Monterey Pop Festival they used to have something called the Monterey Pop Festival some of you are old enough to remember that others of you have studied in an ancient rock and roll history it was called Monterey Pop Festival and they had all kinds of music and things there was a big festival and this and that and I had gone there a few months before I had dropped something called psilocybin and I'd been smoking dope for several days and stuff and that's the last time I'd seen Paul you know I was on hallucinogenics and smoking marijuana now I'm back but he thinks I'm the same guy that I was just a few months before so he invites his friends to meet me and he says I'd like you to meet my friends and and just kind of there with Paul I'm not really speaking to him because we're waiting for the friends and they come into the house and there's two or three guys that come in and he says this is how he introduced me he said guys I want you to meet David he's one of my best friends I've known him since high school this is the guy he said concerning me this is the guy that got me high for the very first time that was my introduction now would you like that to be your your legacy would you like that I didn't want that I didn't want to be known for the guy who turned them on to drugs and there I am so I still remember I was sitting there 20 years old brand new in the Lord I hadn't been a Christian more than more than a month and a half no more than two at the maximum and I'm there looking at him across this small front room and he says this is Dave he got me high the first time and his friends are looking at me like well I was some guru or something you know that's true I had that space you look I looked like John Lennon I used to have these round glasses and my hair was long and I had these bushy sideburns and they'd looking at me like I was some guru I said you know Paul last time I was here you know we got high and then I said that's true I said that's true I I got Paul loaded for the first time when he was in high school that's true but I came here for a different reason I told Paul and and these guys were there and I'm a brand new Christian and I said but I came here for a different reason I want you to know Paul and you guys too that Jesus Christ died on across to save me of my sins he's cleansed me from all of my unrighteousness I'm born again and I'm serving the Lord Jesus Christ now so the way I was is no longer that man is dead and the man who's in this room with you right now has come with a message and Paul the reason I came with this message is I want you saved too see that's what God does he changes your life you don't want to see your friends perish and go to hell you want them to go to heaven too it has been said that the most selfish man is the one who goes to heaven alone and you don't want that that's why you tell people about the Lord that's why you come to Bible studies on a midweek when you could be doing something like watching the doctor game which I'm teabowing so are you unless you're an angels fan then you just be who cares right come and let us go into the house of the Lord he shall teach us his ways and we will learn his path we will follow his path and so that's what we're looking at right now in Isaiah 55 verse 5 surely you will summon nations you you know not and nations that do not know you will hasten to you because of the Lord your God the holy one of Israel for he has endowed you with splendor he says in verse 2 many nations shall come and say come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord to the house of the God of Jacob he will teach us his ways we shall walk in his paths out of Zion the law shall go forth the word of the Lord from Jerusalem so when Jesus reigns people come to him to learn how to worship him and these are coming to be taught by messiah they're not coming for information they are coming for equipping and he's teaching them when it speaks concerning the word teach he shall teach that word teach simply means to instruct or direct it it also carries the connotation of pointing something out Isaiah 54 13 says all your children shall be taught by the Lord and great shall be the peace of your children in John 6 45 Jesus said it is written in the prophets they shall all be taught by God therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me they'll be taught by God they come to him it's another way of saying that he's the fulfillment of those prophecies he will teach us the ways the word way is is a habit of life it speaks really of your moral character when he uses the word walk the walk is your your manner of living it's how you proceed in life if you will and the path is is the path that a traveler will follow it speaking of a way of life the point he's making is that Jesus will teach us how to live he will not only instruct us with things that inform us but he will show us how to live in a way that is most blessed in verse three it says he shall judge between many peoples and rebuke strong nations afar off they shall beat their swords into plowshares their spears into pruning hooks nations shall not lift up sword against nation neither shall they learn war anymore notice how it says he shall judge between many peoples the word judge speaks of to decide deciding a controversy or executing judgment it carries with that the connotation of ruling or governing so there's no need of a world court when Jesus is the one settling all disputes psalm nine verse eight says he shall judge the world in righteousness he shall administer judgment for the people in in uprightness so he settles conflicts and as he settles these conflicts peace that is the fruit of righteousness will begin to exist you see you might want to note this without righteousness there can never be peace keep that in mind now i i appreciate the cessation of wars and violence i do i served in the military i did my duty to god in country but that does not mean that i wanted to go and use my weapon and it doesn't mean that was my heart my desire i desire peace i've always desired peace and uh it was coming to christ to help me to realize that without christ there is no chance of peace see peace comes when there's a cessation of hostility not just with man peace comes when there's a cessation of hostility between man and his god when you hear the gospel of reconciliation that christ was that god was in christ reconciling the world to himself the message of the gospel is called the message of reconciliation the cessation of hostility when you by faith receive christ as your lord and savior and you abide by the terms of peace which is that i fully surrender to god he is the victor i am the vanquished he owns me now i am not on loan to him but i have been bought at a price and when i understand that he is my lord and i will do the things that he says and i'll demonstrate i love him by my obedience the fruit of my life will demonstrate that there has been a change i will have peace with him because he gave me peace in that i i stopped my war i surrendered and now and this is where it's so very practical i can live at peace with other people and so hostility ceases first between man and god and then under christ because the hostility has ceased then hostility can cease between man and other men nations in other words can actually live at peace with one another as he rules the things that cause division between nations are going to be settled by the messiah and so they're no longer going to need to learn war anymore it speaks concerning the swords and it says they shall they shall beat in verse three they shall beat their swords into plowshares their spears into pruning hooks swords well obviously we know that a sword is a military weapon and a sword is a picture of killing and destruction plowshares would be used to speak of producing crops so plowshares speaks of the betterment of and care for people there's an interesting many of you know this there's an interesting bronze sculptor in the north gardens of the the un headquarters and and this sculptor is is is called let us beat our swords into plowshares it was created by a soviet artist and it was donated on december 4th 1959 intending to symbolize man's desire to put an end to war and to convert a means of destruction into creative tools for the benefit of mankind you can see that all you need to do is is go to the almighty google and you can look up the sculptor let us beat our swords into plowshares and it'll show you that particular statue if you will so instead of learning to fight jesus teaches us to walk in peace with one another and so on 46 verse nine he makes war cease to the end of the earth he breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two he burns the chariot in the fire and that's what he's speaking about in the time of peace under the messiah's rule in verse four but everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree and no one shall make them afraid for the mouth of the lord of host has spoken so so you're not going to need to have any kind of alarms in your house anymore and those decorative bars that some people put on their windows you're not going to need those anymore when it speaks concerning everyone being seated under his vine and under his fig tree that's a picture of of prosperity safety and security that's what that's a picture of it speaks of lounging if you will so they're going to be secure they're going to be at peace in zechariah 1310 it reads in that days as the lord of host everyone will invite his neighbor under his vine and under his fig tree so it's a picture of just you know just having a real nice relaxed life don't you look forward to that by the way oh yes oh yes i look forward to that so much when when when all the anxiety and tension is finally gone and i'm not talking about your children moving out i'm talking about real some of the more relaxing times you ever have if you have a chance to can be just sitting down under a tree by the water's edge at a lake or something just kind of just hanging out drinking a cup of coffee and saying oh the world is good i'm at peace with god this year is relaxing how often do you get to do that very seldom probably some of you do it every sunday you should be here but at some of the more peaceful times that you have we just have no agenda other just other than just let's relax and just enjoy enjoy ourselves on and that's that's what he's speaking about the time when all the tension is gone and you're at peace with one another and you're in a state of relaxation why because messiah is ruling now i better hurry up verse five for all people walk each in the name of his god but we will walk in the name of the lord our god forever and ever see in the past people walked after their own gods the result was war and problems their idolatry led them into violence as well as evil but when messiah rules all will honor him and all will follow him and in the future all will walk in the name of the lord like it says in psalm 145 verse 2 every day i will bless you i will praise your name forever and ever in philippians 2 9 through 11 god also has highly exalted him and given him the name which is above every name that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow of those in heaven those on earth those under the earth and that every tongue should confess that jesus christ is lord to the glory of god the father and so we'll be there just worshiping and praising him and all this is a picture of that time well in verse six in that day says the lord i will assemble the lame i will gather the outcast those whom i've afflicted i will make the lame a remnant the outcast a strong nation so the lord will reign over them in mount zion from now on even forever and so he's speaking concerning his rule and in the millennial kingdom the nation of israel which is pictured as being lame you know crippled outcast the remnant well in the millennial kingdom in the time when jesus is ruling and reigning israel will be restored in their long history much suffering occurred and they were in a position of need and god acknowledges it was he who afflicted them but not only did he afflict them but he will also comfort them it's like what the psalmist one of my favorite scriptures is psalm 51 verse 8 where the psalmist said make me hear joy and gladness that the bones you have broken may rejoice what an interesting thing to say the bones that you have broken you want to be deep with the lord you want to know the ways of the lord the lord has a way of breaking us and healing us i've mentioned this recently but i don't remember how recent where i gave a message 30 some years ago that i still remember the title it was well i kind of remember the title uh when god cripples it was it was it was taken out of the book of genesis where jacob wrestled with the angel and the lord the angel reaches over and touches the hip of jacob and withers the sinew there and from that moment on from that time on jacob walked with a limp it was a constant reminder of his encounter with god he had grabbed hold of the angel would not allow would hold on was holding on tightly and the angel said let me go and and jacob said no i will not unless you bless me you remember that story i will not unless you bless me angel reaches down and and touches his hip and withers the bone cripples him and and when i gave that message it was a it was something lord was teaching me then that he has been teaching me now for over 30 years that one lesson and that is when i break a man i will use the man when i break the man i will use the man you will never be used by god until you are broken by god and he will put in you a reminder and some that's why some people don't want to be used like that people want all the blessings without the buffeting that's the fact isn't it just pour your blessings on me lord blow you know blow your spirit on me oh thank you and i'll float now do all these things and i'll get all this blessing and everything while the lord says you want to be like me yes i do oh i we sing songs like that make me like you lord make me like you uh do you know how i want to make you like me yeah you want to just say abracadabra you're like me right no i will make you wounded because i was wounded you want to be like me you're gonna have gethsemanes you want to be like me you will be pierced you want to be like me you will have friends who will forsake you and flee you want to be like me well you know on second thought see that's this is by the way you know this may be foreign to some of you what i just said that's because there's so much fluff that comes over the airwaves today that all you hear is like yeah whoopee but i've discovered something i've discovered that the deeper the break the deeper the wound the deeper the saint you know and what is it that paul said he said that the messenger was satan was sent to buffet me and three times i said god remove it and god said no my grace is sufficient because he said my strength is perfected in weakness and thus he said i just just then buffet me because i want to be like you listen there are not too many people who want to take that road who want to be deep with god but you know what there's what are the what are the road is better than to be like him when you think about it i mean isn't he conforming us into his image so quick quit kicking against the prods the lord is fashioning you and answering that prayer that you prayed when you said make me like you lord i want to be like you i honestly i'll just go one more moment with this and then we'll get into the rest of the study i honestly when i got saved was surprised by the joy of the spirit i was i i was so overwhelmed by the joy of the spirit but i have discovered in the 40s some years that i walk with god now there have been a lot of breakings in my life and a lot of times people don't when they come in here david was always you know sometimes david was always will weep and they don't know why it's because i'm touched by the infirmities of people in a way i've never been and it's my i'm breaking before you and i'm saying god pour your spirit out on us on me make me like you lord and yeah i smile and i have joy but jesus jesus also wept and and when you see the society the way that it is without him why aren't more of us weeping why aren't more of us broken because it needs jesus doesn't this world need jesus listen it doesn't need trump and it doesn't need hillary it needs the lord and then we really need to bring jesus to this nation we really do we really really really do now moving on i got a hurry i got a hurry because we're supposed to have communion and i was planning on being done by now but i'm not so i will finish here we go where am i okay first eight you o tower of the flock the stronghold of the daughter of zion to you shall it come even the former dominion shall come the kingdom of the daughter of jerusalem the kingdom while the kingdom was mighty under david it was mighty under solomon but under messiah it will be much greater in verse nine now why do you cry aloud is there no king in your midst has your counselor perished for pangs have seized you like a woman in labor be in pain and labor to bring forth oh daughter of zion like a woman in birth pangs for now you shall go forth from the city you shall dwell in the field and you shall go even to babelan there you shall be delivered there the lord will redeem you from the hand of your enemies in the near future babelan will come babelan will conquer that nation we know through history that king nebuchadnezzar came against juda three times and left it in ruins and the suffering of the people is described like the pain of labor you see in the future there's going to be a time called the tribulation the pain will be intense destruction will be terrible many will suffer many will die zekariah 13 eight and nine says it like this it shall come to pass and all the land says the lord that two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die one-third shall be left in it i will bring the one-third through the fire will refine them as silver is refined test them as gold is tested they will call on my name i will answer them i will say this is my people each one will say the lord is my god and so he says you're going to go through this terrible purging it's the tribulation that he's referring to in matthew 24 22 Jesus said unless those days were shortened no flesh would be saved but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened so he's speaking concerning this time that's going to come the tribulation we're so much pain so it's not just speaking about the events that are in the near history or in the near future of Babylon and all but going on further into those last days and then finally verse 11 through 13 now also many nations have gathered against you say let her be defiled and let our eye look upon Zion but they do not know the thoughts of the lord nor do they understand his council he will gather them like like sheaves to the threshing floor arise and threshold daughters of Zion for I will make your horn iron I will make your hooves bronze you shall be it in pieces many peoples I will consecrate their gain to the lord their substance to the lord of the whole earth so ultimately ultimately there will be nations that will come against them in all but God says in that day I will be your help and your help and I'll close with this I actually had a whole study I was going to give you Adam Ezekiel 38 I might introduce next week with that probably won't I'm just saying that so you'll think I am but I'll conclude it because we need to I want to celebrate communion with you arise and threshold daughter of Zion in that day when the nations do come against them and it looks like they're about to be destroyed Ezekiel 38 and 39 speak concerning this in that day their help will not come from man their help will come from God and God will allow them to go through the purging but he ultimately will rescue them
