Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm. Hello? Today, we have Shadow of Infinity, first edition. Hobby box, by the way, so this is gonna be pretty epic. It's been a very interesting week, so I'm glad we're gonna end it on a good note with Shadow of Infinity, hobby box.  I have a good feeling. Today's the day, because we've opened how many boxes of this? Like four? We've never pulled one, it's insane. So we've had really bad luck. Today's the day, here we go. Hopefully it's a good one. How are you guys doing today? There's a lot going on right now. There's like World Cup games, there's like college football. So if you guys are here, respect. There's a lot going on. Sacred Beast would be pretty awesome. First Sacred Beast on YouTube, that's a good question. Well, in terms of Ultis, maybe. I bet someone's pulled an Ultra. Hey Nesset, how's it going? Today's the day you get that Sacred Beast. I hope so. We just need to pull one, that's all we need. Hey Paddlebeard, how's the weather in North Carolina? I'm not from North Carolina, so I'm not sure. But it's probably not too bad. Your college team won yesterday, so nothing else matters. My team did not, we did not win. So it was unfortunate. But Ultimate Beast, yes, let's do it. Any Ulti Beast, we're gonna lose it. That would be pretty insane. What's up, low chaos? Haven't made a live in a week or so? We haven't had one a week or so, so you're good. Yeah, you probably made the last one, then. This box looks amazing. It is, it's pretty sick. Hello from French Canada, probably one of the four female Yu-Gi-Oh fans on YouTube. Nice, there we go, you're bringing up the percentage. You love to see it. What's up, Liam? Casual Yu-Gi stuff about to open up. TLM, dang, some GX tonight. That's what I'm talking about. College, I like Arkansas and West Virginia and then Chelsea's a big Auburn fan, so I go for them as well. I hope you get the left arm of Exodia. Yeah, well, not in this box, but yeah, in the future. Thank you, Hoya, I appreciate it. I made it to the start of a live, love your channel. I learned so much about my own collection. Love it, Billy. Put sassy out of eBay links on my Christmas list. That's awesome. I think it ends in like an hour, though, so if you are getting that for Christmas, you might want to tell them that for the Black Friday stuff. When are you searching for the last piece of Exodia? That's a great question. That's a great question. I saw there were some taco comments in the chat. Yeah, so we definitely got some tacos. That was funny. That was definitely funny. It was pretty cool. EX Gamer, how's it going, man? Let's get to 100 likes. We'll get this thing started. We're at 50, so we're almost there. Two boxes of Battle Slides and Crystal Revenge didn't pull any starlights.  Curry for MVP. I think right now it's probably gonna be Luca, but Curry's been playing really well. His team has not been playing well, though. That'll probably hold him back. Deck profiles? Not really, because I don't really do a lot of like, I have done a couple like deck profiles, but it's mostly about like the price of the deck. Like I spent a bunch on this deck, but I don't really do basic ones, because I don't play that much. Thank you, Jim. Thanks, Zodia, comment. All right, it's almost time. 16 more likes. Been a lurker on the channel. I just recently decided to buy in this box and subscribe. You got me back into Yu-Gi-Oh! It's been awesome reliving the pre-2005 times. I love it. I love it. Hopefully we have some good luck with this box. Jasmine, thanks for the 199. Thank you for the good luck. I did see it, Jonathan. Yeah, I saw it. I couldn't have missed it. So many people were sending it to me. Let's get any sacred beast. 11 likes, we'll get started. We got 24 packs. So last time we did one, we did like a 60-pack box break. Let me tell you, packing up those packs, that took forever. It took so long, because normally you have 24 packs and it's like 10 packages or something. When there was 60, it was like 25 packages or 30 or something. So it was a nut. What does that even mean? It was a lot. I'm trying to say it was a nut. That was definitely not that. Who gets out of the group? USA, my country, Wales, England or Iran. If USA beats Iran, then I think we're through with England. So it's probably gonna be USA, England. But if we tie Iran, it could get a little dicey. So we'll have to see what happens there. I was just watching the Argentina game, but they lost their first game, which was crazy. Thank you, Jonathan. I appreciate it, man. Ohio State, Michigan or Black Hole? You just mean neither? Music isn't on? It should be. It says it's on. Let me know if you can hear the music. Okay, we got a hundred likes, but let's make sure we can hear the music. Pretty sure you should be able to. Dungeon dice cards from Crystal Revenge. They're pretty silly and dicey. Yeah, definitely dicey. Or upgrade your Crystal Beast deck. Nice, I love it. Luffy or Naruto? I haven't finished Luffy, but I've seen all of Naruto. You didn't get a heart on your comments, Swifty Swift? I didn't see all of them. But yeah, I appreciate your comment. Thank you, Beto? Beatno? How do I say that? Be itno? I don't know. I feel like I'm destroying that. Okay, you can hear it. Okay, okay. Good luck to everyone who got a pack. All right, let's get into it, guys. 24 packs, Shadow of Infinity First Edition. This is a hobby box. Here's the code for hobby, if you guys were wondering. 103, 69, one means it's a hobby box. That means we can pull ultras and supers as ultimate rares. That's what we want, so we can get the Sacred Beast. That's why it's gonna be clutch. Soul zero, zero. All right, give me an update if somebody scores. All right, $3 from Mario winning. Thank you for the three, actually not dollars, three Euro it appears. Very nice. All right, let's go. Let's get this thing open. We got tacos in the chat. Let's go, tacos in the chat. We'd love to see it. All right, check this thing out. It does have a little bit of like damage on it, so, you know, that happens sometimes. Well, let's see how these packs look. All right, okay. The first edition, that's a good sign. Always good, you know, you open these things up. You want them to be legit, of course. All right, so we got Shadow of Infinity, let's go. Yu-Gi-Oh, Basti, thank you very much. Making a sprite deck. Hey, how's it going, Galza? Let's do a little shuffling. 20 months, let's go. We're getting so close to two years, man. Naruto anniversary video? I don't think I did see that, actually. Billy Brock, thanks for coming to Discord member. By the way, if you're an Ultimate member, I posted two Ultimate members, and I have not added you to the outro because I'm behind on doing that. Make sure to let me know on that community post that I made if you're an Ultimate member so that I can add you guys and put you guys in the end. Thanks, Jeffrey, that's awesome. All right, giveaways go to anywhere. If I do a giveaway, I'll send it pretty much anywhere. All right, first up, who is it? It's Jordan L. Jordan L is up with one pack. He's going for that one pack magic, Ultimate Rares, out of Shadow of Infinity. What did the second one, was like 2005, 2006, something like that? So we're like way back there. We're like old school, old school on this thing. Spam in the chat, which Sacred Beast do you wanna see? Do you wanna see Uriah, Lord of Steering Flames, Ravi-L, Lord of Phantasms, or Haman, Lord of Striking Thunder. Like how they're all lords. Let's go. Yeah, I guess we probably shouldn't like that at this point, but let's see what we can get. We have Shadow of Infinity. 2,500 pack opening that hooked ever since. Love it, dude, that's awesome. Jordan L is here, the first pack. Let's pull something good. One, two, three, four. All right, will this be an Ultimate Rares? Let's go, we've got Hero Kid. He's a hero. We've got Miracle Kid. So we've got a Hero Kid and then we've got Miracle Kids, which one do you like more? We've got Parasite Tiki. That is a very, just look at this guy. Very creepy, like I don't know. It's like a, I guess it's a tick. Is that what the Tiki means? It's a parasite and a tick, very creepy. Success probability zero. What's this guy's name again? Kazaki, I think it's his name. Kazaki's self-destruct button. He's the same guy. End of the World, okay. Machine King prototype. So it's a prototype. This is a pretty cool one. It gains based on machines, which is actually like back in the day seemed like really good, but then it's like, oh wait, that never actually happened. So we've got a full salvo, very nice. Got a Beals Frog. Here's our first rare for Jordan L. His only pack, Will It Be One Pack Magic. Fantasmal martyrs, just a rare on this one. This is a really nice ultimate rare that's extremely cheap. So if you do like, once this is an ultimate rare, I think in the unlimited, it's like two or $3. So it's a very, like, if you're looking to collect cool cards and you want a cheap value, that's the one. It's like two or three bucks or something. It's really cool. There's a lot of good, like, Hero and Sacred Beast stuff in GX that were like spells or traps that people don't really pay that much for because they're spells and traps, but they have a really cool artwork. So that's definitely one of them. Jordan L, thank you for being in it. You get a bonus foil for that. We did shuffle the packs. We did earlier. All right, so we're awful one to start, but we've got 23 packs to go. Jordan L, thank you again for being in it. Get you a nice bonus foil for being in it. I'm just gonna put that over there. I need to reorganize over here. All right, next up. We have Eric B. Eric B got, it says one. Wait, is that right? I thought Eric B got more than one. Wait, did he have multiple? Wait a second. Last time when we did the double box break, it was so confusing. It was bad. Okay, Eric B did get three. Let me double check that though because it's better to do it live so no one's confused because then people are like, wait, but what about my pack? Yeah, they're like, whoops, I messed up. Eric B, Eric B bought two, three. Okay, he did buy three. Yeah, I remember this. He said he bought one later. Okay, so Eric B has three packs, not two. I forgot to put them together. Let's go Eric B. Three packs. Let's see if we can pull you some good. Hopefully we can, okay, so the thing with GX, you guys know this probably if you've watched a lot of videos. They don't always have ultra rares. They have two ultimate rares of box usually and sometimes you have an ultra rare which is weird because ultra rare is a lower rarity than ultimate rare. But that's how it works. Hopefully we will get an ultra rare today and hopefully it will be one of the three sacred beasts not the Cyber Laser Dragon because the Cyber Laser Dragon is the fourth one. It's the one we always pull or we get a box with no ultra or ultra rares. So this is what we're hoping for. Ultra sacred beast or ultra sacred beast. There's also some other cool ones in here as well. All right, let's go. What's up, hey, Seuss. The box breaks, so they go to, these all sold out to members of the channel such as Patreon's. I do go to everyone if they don't sell out but these sold out like in less than a day. So if you're a member of the channel like a, what is it called? The, what is that, what is the eight dollar member called, the eight dollar member, special footage member, there we go. Or if you're a 10 dollar Patreon you will get an update for this. Birdkeeper Toby, you retracted his message. What's up, man? All right, here we go. Ancient Gear Factory, first pack for Eric B. Let's see if we can pull him something. Anteater eating ant. He was at the Lakers game the other day so I respect him, I like it. Next to be lost. Silent insect, let's see if we can get something good. Magnet circle, these are different ones we haven't seen. Sand moth, I think this is a cool artwork. I think it looks pretty cool. Even though what does this card even do? This card face down is destroyed instead of the graveyard. Switch the original tag and offensive of this card and special summon it. Except by the result of battle, interesting. So it basically becomes a 2K attacker if that happens, but a little bit weird. All right, Sand moth, junior, super junior confrontation and then we have, oh, it's the next one, disciple of the forbidden spell and then our first one for Eric B, option hunter so that we're starting it off with a rare so we're over two now. Very interesting crab guy. So, I love this set so much. I got the Urea first aid as a kit. Well, we need to pull one because I've never pulled any of the sacred beasts so we're still trying to do that. We're still trying to change our luck, pull something good. All right, did I put my, did I put the pack in there? I did, I remembered. Okay, good job. Good job, Ruxen. Second pack. Let's go, $8 per month. It's $8 per month, but you also get emotes, badges, discord access. You get a discount for every pack you buy for like 10 plus dollars usually.  So every pack you buy. So that your eight bucks turns into, you know, saving money and stuff. That's kind of the point of it. So it's worthwhile for you guys. All right, let's go. Trial of the princesses. Hero kid, second pack for Eric B. Miracle kid. So those are always in a row. Parasite, there's the Tiki. He's at it again, chain thrasher. Generation shift. We've got a sand moth, he's back. Is it the next one? No, it's a symbol of heritage. Here we go. Let's pull our first foil. What will it be? Princess Koran. So another regular rare. All right, final packs gonna have to have some magic here. Feeling sacred today? I don't know, I don't know. Maybe we are, maybe we are. I'm feeling like today's the day. I feel like today might be the day. All right guys, wait, what is this? How did the, Jordan L is somehow still here. Okay, let's put him in his thing. There we go. All right, guys, which sacred beast do you want? Let me know in the chat. We need the luck. We need to pull something good. Third pack, this is the third, but this could be like the third pack he bought late. If he didn't buy the third pack, maybe it was super lucky. Let's see. Let's go. Sacred beasts are really cool. Yeah, they look amazing. Let's see what we can pull. Send some luck in the chat, guys. Let's go. Oh no, oh no. Look at your sacred beast now. Nice. Come on, we have Hero Heart, very nice card. Ancient gear candle. Let's get our first foil of the box. Attack reflector unit. Grass fandom. Chain thrasher. Dinkabito sheen, very nice. Ancient gear drill, very awesome. Generation shift. And here we go. We have a Doomdozer. No. This actually was crazy for a while as a retail ulty. Remember when it went up to like a hundred bucks? It was like a one dollar card. And then it went up to like a hundred dollars because of bee troopers and stuff. All right, unfortunate start. Oh for four, but it's happened before. We've been through this. Now the box is just heating up. Sacred cards were such a good game for the time. Yeah, we tried to play, go back and play it, but it was so easy. Like it was like ridiculously easy, but back in the day it was really cool. All right, let's sleeve that up. Oh for four to start, not a great start. We need a little, need a little luck, guys. Send the luck over in the chat. Who's up next? Francois M is up with three packs. Now's the time. Three packs, three pack magic did not work last time. Let's see if it'll work this time. Francois, here we go. Doomdozer is a classic. It's a pretty good card to be honest. It's really not bad. Let's see what we can do. Let's get to 200 likes for luck. Almost there, 179. One, two, three, four. Here we go, Francois, what will you pull? You got the desk frog, the D3S frog. Photon generator unit. Malice ascendant, very nice. Attack reflector unit, pretty cool. Symbol of heritage. Machine King prototype, add it again. Beals frog, we've got a symbol of heritage and we have a princess Koran again. Two princesses. All right, where are the foils? Where are they? We are over five right now. It is time. Receptful destruction is basically like a harder sacred cards, right? Isn't that how that works? Second pack for Francois. Photon galaxy card. I love the card, but I see them really cheap. I'm not sure what you mean. Tap the pack for a little luck. You need a pack to, a, a, a pack tap? That's what I'm trying to say. Oh my goodness. All right, let's go. DD guy, this is a, this is a good card. It used to be like two bucks. I think it's down now, but silent insect. Malice ascendant, second pack for Francois. Let's go. Photon generator, anti-gear. Sam Sarah, disciple of the forbidden spell. We've got a generating shift. Is this it? Is this the one? Fro-proto cyber dragon. Where are the fours? We're over six. What was our worst ever? Oh, for 11. We started over 11. I think that was our worst. Chill Pokemon. How you doing, man? I'm doing good. Third pack from Francois. Pack tap. There we go. Fix that a little bit. Third pack. Let's see if we can pull something big guys. What shall we pull? Used to play dual masters. I found a box that was a hundred percent foils. Wow. That's pretty good. All right. Kiss your pack for luck. I don't know about that. I don't know about that. All right. Can you see when you subscribe to me? There is like a website or something that does that. I don't remember what it was called though. Third pack, Francois. We're over six right now. I think over six. Is that right? Or over five? I don't know. Something like that. Grass Phantom over six. Attack reflector unit. Here we go. Anti-gear cannon. Time to get hot. Magnus circle level two. We need a foil. The Forbidden Spell. Ancient gear. Very nice. Full salvo. And we have a Phantasmal Martyrs. No, 0 for seven. This is so bad. All right. 0 for seven. Not great. Not great at all. Definitely a weird start. Not as weird as, what was it? Was it flaming eternity when we went 0 for 11? I think it was flaming eternity. I can't remember. But that is not a good start at all. We are really hoping for something big. But everyone who's left is probably feeling pretty good because this box is heating up pretty significantly right now because we haven't hit a foil yet. We should have like six plus foils in here. Six to seven. We have 17 packs left. They're getting hot. All right. Next up we got a one-pack magic. Will this be the first one? Yap, yap. Thanks for the $1. His name is Pisco D, I think is the name. I think that's how you say that.  Hey box boy, how's it going? 200K special, we don't have a special yet. So we'll have you guys off to send me some ideas for that. Shout out of infinity. One pack, Pisco D. Here we go. This is the what, eighth pack now? Lucky number nine or 10 when we pull it. Let's go. All right. One, two, three, four. We're getting the same rares and stuff. Let's go. Death's Frog. Angel Gear Factory. Trial of the Princesses. Miracle Kids. Is this our first foil? Pisco with the one-pack magic. Will it happen? Veil's Frog. Angel Gear Drill. Sheen King prototype. Super Junior confrontation. We've got a little video game action going on there and Treeborn Frog. This is a really good retail ulti. This is the best one. I think it's like 250 for an ulti first edition. So it's pretty good. All right. That's 0 for 8. That's 0 for 8 guys. This is at the, almost the slowest start of all time. It was either 11 or 12 was our slowest start.  So we're hoping that happens because we got Steve K up next. You guys said pack 9 and 10. If that's true, he gets two foils. Not bad. Did those loose packs of Ghost of the Past one on Sasiado eBay come from you? No, Sasiado, no, he doesn't get stuff from me. I usually get stuff from him actually. Here we go. Thank you, Garrett. I appreciate it, man. Much appreciated for the support, dude. Steve K, we got two packs. Let's go. Let's go. No foils. It's been rough. It's been rough. We need some luck in the chat, guys. We need you guys to spam some luck because right now we have not hidden one. Steve K is trying to break the streak. Let's go. One, two, three, four. Here we go. First foil. Let's go. Hero heart. Steve K, come on. Aunt Eater eating aunt. The first appearance. Success probability, 0%. That's not a good sign. We don't want it to be 0%. Did he get it? Tingamito, she in. Unaffected by traps like Wildheart. End of the world. A gogi bond, very nice. Samsara. Cyclone boomerang. That's not good, mommy. That's another rare. That is another rare. That's what? Nine? Is that nine now? We are getting on record territory. Record territory for no foils. Second pack for Steve K. Let's go. I'm getting a little nervous, guys. I'm getting a little nervous. Not gonna lie. Packed in. We want to pull something good. Come on. We want to pull a foil. Okay, look, here's the thing. If we start really bad and then pull a sacred beast, it'll be worth it. Okay, maybe that's what has to happen. We have to go through the trials and tribulations. Steve K, come on. Will you pull the sacred beast? And either eating it. Neo bubble man. Success probability, 0%. Next to be lost. Beals frog. Saber beetle. Full salvo. Magnus circle level two. Is this it? Pack number 10. Come on. Malfunction. This box is malfunctioning. That is 0 for 10. We have not pulled a foil yet. It's time to get nervous, guys. It's time. Nerves in the chat. Here we go. Steve K, no pulls. Oh no, this is not good. Not good. We have 14 packs left. Still plenty of time. I shuffled the packs, which somehow I always shuffle them in a weird way where stuff like this happens. Okay, okay. Now we're gonna know. Michael S bought five packs. If there's no foils in here, then we're really gonna be nervous. One, two, three, four, five. Did I somehow shuffle them all to the other side? Okay, we're gonna start with these. We're on the right side that I shuffled. Let's see if these have anything. Here we go. Come on. Shadow of infinity. Gotta believe, guys. Gotta believe. This will be it. This will be the time. Like button for luck. We need it big time because right now we have not pulled a foil at all. Not even just an oldie, it's like a foil. Here we go. Pack number 11. Michael S, five packs. He went crazy. He got something. Death's Frog. Silent insect. Next to be lost. Next to be pulled as a foil. Neo-Bubbleman. Inch of your drill. Prototype. Super Junior Confrontation. Come on. Saber Beetle. And we have a foil Demise King of Armageddon. That's the 11th pack. 0 for 11. We didn't quite get to 0 for 11. We got to 0 for 10. Demise King of Armageddon. Thank goodness.  Okay. Demise King of Armageddon. That's a really cool one. We pulled an oldie of this one time for, I think it was for JT out of his boxes. It's a really cool oldie. A really, really good one. We finally got something. He honestly could get like five foils now. Which would be kind of weird. Be kind of weird. I realized I wasn't live. Skip live. Did I miss anything? No, actually. We just pulled our first foil on the 11th pack, Garrett. This is our first foil. It's for Michael S. He has five packs. He has four to go. He pulled our first foil. All right. Second pack. On the right side. That was rough, man. That was rough. All right, all right. It looks like the luck in the chat paid off. It did pay off. Demise is very Pog. Demise is Pog Central out here. Let's go. One, two, three, four. Here we go. Next pack. Miracle Kids. Chelsea's in the chat. Hero Kid. Trial of the Princesses. Ancient Gear Factory. Come on, let's get another foil. Disciple of the Forbidden Spell. Symbol of Heritage. But we get our first ultimate rare. Machine King prototype. It could happen. Frog and...  Malfunction. Come on, man. Yeah, Garrett. We really want to pull a sacred beast in general. It could be Ultra or Ulti because we have never pulled one on the channel. There's three of them. They come in Ultra and Ulti and we've somehow never pulled any of those. We haven't pulled any of them. So we're really looking to do that. Whoops, that goes back here. So far, no luck, but we are onto the second half of the box. We're one for 12. That means there should be a lot of packs left. You know, with foils in them. Here we go. Michael S. You might be the one to do it. Come on. What'd you miss? You missed one foil. It's been a rough start. Very rough start, but we finally did pull a foil, which means we are about to get hot. Here we go. Ultimate rare. Aunt Eater eating aunt. Let's go. We've got Elemental Hero, Neo Bubble Man. Success probability, 0%. Next to be lost. Go keep on. End of the world. Tinkabuto Shen, very nice. Machine King prototype. And we have, this is our first Ulti. It is explosive. It is not our first Ulti. It is just a rare. All right. So 13 packs in, one, one, one. What am I trying to say? One foil has been pulled. So that means we have five to six left out of what? 11 packs. All right. Malfunction. It is almost as bad as Spearmessagell. You're right. It is almost as bad. Michael S. You bought five packs. You're one for three so far. You did pull our first foil. So I'm proud of you for that. Let's see what we can get. Let's go. Armitile is an ancient prophecy. So no, it is not in this one. That was later in 5Ds they printed it. One, two, three, four. Here we go guys. Ultimate rare right here. Parasite Tiki, let's go Michael S. Malice Ascendant, that's a Ruxus special. First in the video, I might add, not bad. Photon Generator, you know, we got a desk frog. Pretty cool. Saber Beetle. Magnet Circle, level two. All right, I'm bringing the luck in the chat. I love to see it. We're almost at 300 likes. Hit that like button for luck. Disciple for Ben Spell. Ancient Gear, here we go. Is this it, Michael S? It might be the next card. Oh, BES Covered Core, it's a super. Okay, it's not an Ulti, but it's a super. Please, please. You guys know what I'm thinking. Please, please. Okay, here's the thing about GX boxes though. When you pull something in super, it seems like you get the Ulti a lot. So we are really hoping that is not the case here. We're really hoping that's not the case. Thank you, Red. Redisk, I appreciate it. Thanks for bringing the love, man. All right, final pack, Michael S. Let's go. No Ultis yet. We've opened, what, 14 packs? We've got a lot of potential left here in this opening. One, two, three, four. Michael S, will you pull another foil? You pulled our first two foils, which is not bad. Parasite Tiki. Miracle Kits, we won an Ultra in this opening. Come on. Hero Kid. Trial of the Princesses, let's go. Tinkabidoshi and unaffected by traps. Ancient Gear Drill. Generation Shift. Saber Betel. And we have a... Ooh, a Cyber Barrier. This is a cool Ultimate Rare. I don't think it's too valuable, but it's definitely really cool. But it's not an Ultimate, but if we do get the Ulti, it'd be cool. Tacos are in the chat, sending us luck with Tacos. Cyber Barrier Dragon, that is. So Michael, you didn't pull an Ulti, but you did pull our first three foils from the box, which is weird. So three foils, very nice. Hopefully we have a seven foil box, which means we'll have four more in our last like 10 or whatever. Just still like above normal odds, which is really good. So Michael S, thank you for being in it and breaking that streak, because that was a scary streak for a while there. All right, the Ruxen Special, it might live on. Well, it is a tough thing to avoid as a pack opener. It is not Ruxen Specialing, so I mean, giving it a name, it's just easy to refer to it as the Ruxen Special. I know Kaz referred to it as the Ruxen Special in his new video, which I did a video and shouted out his channel yesterday, and he made a really cool video, and he had the Ruxen Special in the video, which was cool. So let's sleeve these up. You know, actually, let's, yeah, let's do this. Cyber Barrier is really, really cool. I had a Barrier Ulti back in there. I still have it actually, because I put it in my deck just because I really liked the Cyber Dragons. I only had regular Cyber Dragon and Cyber Barrier and Cyber Twin, I think, and I still liked them. So I put them all in my deck, even though they weren't very good besides Cyber Dragon. Simran, Uri is my favorite. Hopefully you pull it. I think Uri is probably my favorite too. Thanks for the 179. It has really, really nice artwork. It looks really cool. And then the foiling on it looks good too for Ultis. All right, now we pull the Uriah. Did you pull Venusaur? Not yet. Maybe next time. Maybe we'll get that Venusaur. All right. Who's been playing the new Pokemon games? I bought them. I have not played them yet, but I think I might stream them on Twitch. So we might do that. Who knows? We might just go back to regular Pokebox. I don't know what I wanna do yet, but let's go. All right, so I sleeve those up. That is for Michael S. Very nice. All right. Who's up next? Ingen E. I got your name right, Ingen. I remember last time I had all the E's mixed up, but Ingen E, let's go. Two packs. Let's go, Shadow of Infinity. Let's get an Ultimate Rare. They're bugged. Yeah, I know. I've noticed that. They're also run really slowly. They take forever. That's what I don't like. I played a little bit of it on my own, and it just feels like it takes so long, like the cutscenes and stuff. Like, I don't know. That's what I don't like about them. I think it's cool. The open world thing though. I think it's pretty fun. All right, if you've got three to five FPS. All right, and Eater eating ant. We got two packs for Ingen E. Success, probability zero. Didi, guide. Trial of the princesses. Will this be our first Ultimate Rare? I think we have like 10 packs left. Simple of heritage. Ancient gear. Ancient gear golem. Not that. She in. Keep on. And here we go. Oh. Why did that look like an Ulti? Jane's Eye Attack. No, it looked like an Ulti, man. Dang it. All right. Okay. Maybe we'll turn the game's way for them to patch the game. Well, I feel like once they patch it, it'll fix the current game, right? Or do they have to do like the hard copy? Second pack. Shadow of Infinity. Let's go. Yeah, I saw a bunch of like the crazy glitches in it. It's pretty funny. All right. Second pack. Will this be our first Ultimate Rare? We need at least one, so I feel better because I'm scared. Grass Phantom. I've got Attack Reflector Unit. I had this in my deck too, just so I could play the barrier dragon. Ancient Gear Castle. I actually have a video about that. It's called like my sixth grade deck or something like that. It's on my channel somewhere. Ancient Gear Cannon. Hero Heart. Sam Sara. Chain Thrasher. Very nice. Generation Shift. We have Sand Moth. And we have a... Ultimate Rare Cyber Barrier Dragon. Let's go. We did pull it. Ingenie. I spit over there. Okay. I didn't hit it. Oh, I did. Gotta get that off. Quick, quick, quick. Gotta get a little excited. You gotta be careful here. Okay. Cyber Barrier. How's the back look? Whoa, that looks clean. Oh, that looks good. Whoa, it's off-center. Man, it's off-center, but still. Beautiful card. Okay, it's not a Sacred Beast, but it is a Cyber Dragon card with one of the best artworks I might add. Beautiful card. Okay, W's in the chat. Let's go. We did it. That's a dub. We pulled a Cyber Barrier Ulti. So, look, if you're gonna pull a Super Ulti, I think that's one of the coolest ones. So, that's pretty nice. That's pretty nice. We'll take it. The Ruxen spit, especially. You guys remember when I spit on the Magic Cylinder? Yeah, the guy pulled that force and he just, he's sending it in for grading. So, hopefully, they don't steal my DNA or something like that, but very cool. That's a cool pull. I would, like, personally, if I pulled this in a box, I would be happy with it. So, I know that Ian gets gonna be happy because he only bought like three packs, so he's definitely gonna be happy with that. Very nice. That is amazing. Cyber Barrier, very cool card. I don't think it's the most expensive. It's just really, really nice. It's just really cool. And that's what you gotta appreciate sometimes, those cool ones. Daniel in is up next with two packs. It is a pricey one? How much is it? I thought it was cheaper for some reason. No, we have not pulled an Ultra or a Second Ulti yet, so we got a lot of potential here. Yeah, not near the Sager base, of course. There's probably a couple hundred, right? Like two or 300. All right, Daniel in, two packs, and let's say it went up and I missed it. Two packs, Daniel in, let's go. See what we can pull. Metal Ruxen 35. All right, I gotta be careful with that guy. Black Friday, I actually didn't buy anything for Black Friday. Yeah, I was, I pretty much didn't do anything yesterday.  One, two, three, four. Daniel in, let's go. DD guide, first pack, let's see what we can pull. Can we get an Ultra rare? Can we get an Ultra rare? Let's do it. Send the luck in the chat, hit that like button, we're almost at 300 likes. Silent Insect, Malice is sending at 300 likes, we'll probably pull the Sager base. I don't know, I can't prove that, but it might happen. We have a Houtan Generator Unit.  Ancient Gear Drill, nice. Beals Frog, pretty nice. I always say nice, pretty nice. I've noticed that I do that like way too much, so I'm gonna try and stop doing that. Saber Beetle, and here we go, Daniel in. We have, ooh, I thought it was gonna be the Demise Ulti. Ruin, that's a good Super though. So what is that, our fourth Super? Four Supers, one Ulti so far. We really don't want a fifth Super. That means we're probably not getting an Ultra, so come on, do not have a fifth Super, come on. All right, very nice card, we'll take it. Ruin's a good one. Ruin would be a good Ultimate Rare as well. We have pulled that once before, I believe. Second pack for Daniel in, let's see what we can get him. Let's move that over here. My favorite set is Metal Raiders. Cyberberry is showing 600, is it the lowest listing? Oh, PSA 10, oh, okay, okay. All right, yeah, that makes more sense. Oh, like, wait, for raw, that's crazy. One, two, three, four. Here we go, Daniel in. We have DD Guide, Success Probability Zero, Element Zero Neo-Bubbleman, Daniel in, will you be our first Sacred Beast pull ever? Parasite Tiki, Sabre Beetle, Magnet Circle Level Two, Sandmoth, and what do we have next? Super Junior Convertition, and we have, oh, it's the fifth Super, does that mean we're not getting an Ultra? Oh no, not the fifth Super Damage Condenser. No, not the, why is it so hard? I don't understand why it's so hard to pull Ultras in GX. Why is it so hard? It's insanely hard. Every time we open one of these boxes, we don't get an Ultra, not every time, but it feels like every time. Like a lot of the time you don't get an Ultra. I don't know why Ultras are so hard to pull. It's weird, it's very weird. I don't get it, okay. All right, so two packs for Daniel and he did get two foils, so that's pretty good. He did get the Damage Condenser, which is probably one of the ones you do not want, but it is a foil though. So Daniel in, thank you for being in it, man. Double foil magic, it's not bad. I hope that doesn't mean we don't get an Ultra, but I think it probably does mean that. Let's see what we got left. We have two more people. We have Austin in with one pack. One pack magic, here we go, Austin in. That means we've pulled six foils, right? So we have one Ultra Ulti left, basically. Here we go. Gotta believe, guys. Believe in the chat, let's go. Send some luck. Send the luck for Austin in. Will he get it? Ancient Gear Cannon, Grass Phantom. Dude, that is a creepy card. I haven't really paid attention to that. He looks like a, it's like a demented Veggie Tales character, you know what I'm saying? All right, Hero Heart, Hero Kid, Sand Moth, Generation Shift, Will he get the Ulti, Chain Thrasher, Sam Sarah, and Option Hunter. Okay, one pack magic did not pay off. Option Hunter, pretty cool card, but okay, is it cool? I don't know.  It's not great, it's not the one you're looking for. Okay, Austin in, bonus foils for you for being in it, man. Bonus for you. Here we go. Okay. Final person. Matthew D bought four packs. So Matthew D, assuming this is a normal box, I think you have guaranteed yourself an ultimate rare. I think you have guaranteed it. Assuming nothing weird happens with this box, you should have an Ulti, which I'm probably jinxing it. Knock on wood. Everyone in the chat, knock on wood right now. We need luck. My desk is made out of wood, so we're good. Okay, let's get an ultimate rare. Come on. Just tuned in, did we pull anything cool? We did pull a cool ultimate rare, but we still have not pulled the second one. No Ultra so far. Here we go. Matthew D, one, two, three, four. Will you pull it? And eat or eating ant? Next will be lost. Come on. We have Silent Insect, Desfrog, symbol of heritage. Come on, we need luck in the chat. Come on guys, send the luck. We need an Ulti here for Matthew D. Please be a secret piece. Come on. Symbol of heritage. Santa Moth, Generation Shift, Chain Thrasher. Here we go, first pack. Is it first pack magic? Condenser. I knew as soon as I saw this as a super, we were screwed. No, a damage condenser. The worst one. Oh, why? All right, let's see if it's at least centered. Kind of, kind of centered. All right, all right, that is rough. That is super rough. Damage condenser. And here's the thing. That's probably the last foil. So for Matthew D, I feel like opening these, there's not really a point for him. Is Matthew D in the chat? If you're in the chat, Matthew, I feel like the best thing is just to keep these sealed for you, because I think we've pulled seven foils. You're probably not getting another one. There is a slight chance, but I would say best option is keep these sealed. But this dad gum damage condenser.  I don't understand this, it's unreal. I don't know if he's in the chat, but I'm just gonna default to Matthew D. Probably once these sealed, you could at least maybe grade these. Let's see what condition they're in. It seemed pretty good. You might be able to grade these and get PSA 10s on them if you wanted to do that, or just keep them sealed in your collection, or open them up and go for it for yourself. But for me, I would recommend if I send them to you sealed, maybe try and grade them. I've never graded before, but I think that that could pay off. So that was unfortunate, man. That was unfortunate.  That is, ugh. That's a bummer, man. That's a real bummer. That might be the worst ulti in the set, in terms of hobby ultis. Why is that a super, man? Why is that a super? So frustrating. All right. Oh, goblin out of the frying pan? Yeah, but at least that is the freaking, at least that's cool. I kind of, not really, but. So the cyber barrier definitely was decent, but that is unfortunate, man. That is unfortunate. But we're gonna send you these sealed, Matthew D. Thank you for being, thank you for being in it, man. At least you did get an ulti. I guess like if it's you, it's not as bad because you did get the ulti, but. All right. Unepic right there. Unepic for sure. Not the way we wanted to end it, but Matthew, I like it. I like it, man. He's not in the chat, is he? I haven't seen him yet. Oh, Matthew, wait. Oh yeah, he is. Oh no, that's Matthew D. That's a different Matthew. All right. Thank you, true lilacs. I appreciate it, man. Ultra Sager Beast is in one of those three packs. It might be, but like we've already pulled five supers. That usually means there's not an ultra, so probably not. Thanks for the $2 Spencer Perry. I appreciate it, man. All right. There's probably like a 1% or less chance that they had those, if I had to guess. So I'm gonna guess no for him because we have hit the foil quota that we normally hit. So this is a fun stream, a little disappointing on the polls, but thank you guys for being in the break. We will have more for members. We have a lot more coming up like in terms of cool stuff. So keep an eye out for that. Hopefully we'll get a little bit more luck next time, but I'll see you guys in the next one. It's been fun and have a good Saturday, guys. We've got a lot going on today, so hope you guys enjoy it. And more, oh yeah, TurboPack six opening tomorrow for the Dark Arm Dragon. So keep an eye out for that. That's gonna be epic. I'll see you guys next time. Peace.


It has been a special pleasure for me to welcome Prime Minister Perez to the White House, both as a personal friend and the leader of the government of Israel. It is a great honor for me to receive the Weizmann Institute's honorary degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The Weizmann Institute is synonymous with humanitarianism and the pursuit of excellence. For Israel, the Institute is a symbol of an old intellectual tradition that has survived even the ravages of the Holocaust. The Institute made a magnificent contribution to the future state of Israel, helping to assure its leading role in the vanguard of peaceful democratic nations leading the world toward the 21st century. And I am very pleased to have been honored by this award. Our talks today have been in the tradition of the close regular dialogue that we have with Israel, a reflection of the warm and enduring relationship between our two nations. In our talks, we paid special attention to two issues, our commitment to Israel's security and well-being, and our shared desire to move forward together toward a just and lasting peace between Israel and all its Arab neighbors. Prime Minister Perez and I fully agreed to press ahead in this search. We recognize there are obstacles, significant obstacles to peace. But we also recognize that there is a better opportunity for real progress now than there has been for some time, and a better chance than we may have for some time to come. Much progress has already been made. Prime Minister Perez has made clear Israel's desire for direct negotiations without preconditions, and King Hussein stated here at the White House on September 30th that he welcomes the prospect of beginning negotiations with Israel promptly and directly. This kind of determination and good faith gives the United States confidence that the hurdles to peace can be overcome. Prime Minister Perez and I are also fully agreed that a strong, secure Israel is a shared interest. In the years since the Prime Minister's last visit, Israel and the United States have strengthened and expanded our security cooperation, which furthers a number of common objectives, including the maintenance of Israel's qualitative military advantage against any combination of adversaries. We also discussed the evil scourge of terrorism, which has claimed so many Israeli, American, and Arab victims, and has brought tragedy to many others. Terrorism is the cynical, remorseless enemy of peace, and it strikes most viciously whenever real progress seems possible. We need no further proof of this than the events of the last few weeks. The Prime Minister and I share a determination to see that terrorists are denied sanctuary and are justly punished. Furthermore, and just as important, Prime Minister Perez and I agreed that terrorism must not blunt our efforts to achieve peace in the Middle East. Prime Minister Perez and I also have reviewed many other issues on our common agenda. We took stock with real satisfaction of what Israel and the United States have accomplished together. Among other things, we've concluded a free trade area agreement, the first of its kind for us. In this regard, I salute Prime Minister Perez and his government for their courage in adopting an economic reform program that holds promise if effectively implemented for leading Israel to strong and steady non-inflationary growth. We agreed last year that growth is the main objective, and we will continue to explore in our joint economic group and elsewhere ways to promote Israel's strong economic potential. Mr. Prime Minister, I thank you very much for your visit. It's been an occasion to renew a friendship and to review and enhance the strength of our unique bilateral relationship. Thank you very much. Mr. President, I'm grateful for the opportunity of expressing to you the admiration and the gratitude of the people of Israel. In our country, pluralistic as it is, where the national consensus is reserved for very rare occasions, you have achieved it, an admiration of all parts in our country, all people who came really to learn, to know you, and to admire you. We admire your leadership because it gave American greatness a new dimension, because it has introduced a new solidarity to the free world, because it has enhanced the desire for knowledge in the realm of science, because it has demonstrated a moving friendship for the new and old Israel. On personal note, may I add that one who has had to take decisions affecting the lives of young soldiers, I appreciate both your correct instinct and decisive reaction to the unfolding drama in the East Mediterranean last week as it was manifested a real leadership and real courage. Twelve months ago, Mr. President, when we met here, I felt that I was standing at a new beginning. You then extended your support for some of Israel's ambitious planes. Since then, we removed the Lebanese war from the agenda of Arab-Israel relations. We tightened our belts in order to stabilize our economy, reduce inflation and deficits. We have begun of a process meant to transform the peace treaty into a viable precedent for the whole region. I'm referring to the peace treaty with Egypt. We have changed our policy on the West Bank.  Today we stand ready to take bold steps in a no less challenging direction. And I trust, Mr. President, that we shall have the benefit of your continued support. The first objective is the most challenging of all, making peace. With our hand of peace extended across the Jordanian river, we call upon our Eastern neighbor to heed and accept this sincere invitation. We should not miss the opportunity of putting an end to belligerency and of entering honorable and direct negotiation. We are ready to meet without preconditions, without losing time at any suitable occasion, be it in Amman in Jerusalem or Washington. We are prepared to consider any proposal put forward by the Jordanians. Let us bear the cost of peace in preference to the price of war. Our second objective is to move economically from stabilization to growth. We are grateful for your continued support in reaching both objectives, particularly in the light of our heavy security burden and lack of natural resources, save for a highly motivated people. Finally, Mr. President, we would like to join hands with the United States in an appeal to the heart of our fellowmen. We welcome the opportunity to participate in the amplifying the voice of democracy and echoing its values, as we address those who are denied its reality yet yearn for it. In so doing, we reaffirm our commitment to strive for a world free of discrimination, free of oppression, free of terror. Mr. President, Chaim Weizmann, a world-renowned scientist, was our first president. He believed that ancient prophecy and modern science, together reaching across the gulf of generations, could set our small nation on the road to development at its highest values. In recognition of your proven ability to lead a great country to even greater heights by seeking new horizons of real and great promise, the Weizmann Institute, which has gained high repute, was proud to bestow upon you, Mr. Ronald Reagan, a honorary doctorate. Your search for a more stable and safer world has unleashed human curiosity in pursuit of wisdom and knowledge, as well as of untold opportunities. Mr. President, as always, it was a great pleasure and honor to meet with you to discuss in a real friendly way and free spirit our common problems and hopes. And again, thank you for your support, and I'm sure we shall be able to cooperate in the future in the same good way that our two countries were working together for such a long period of time. These are your mutuals. Thank you very much.


Okay, this video is actually outside of my regular series. I just have a friend working on a project. I'm trying to explain stuff to him through messaging. So I thought I'd do this quick video. Basically he has some JSON and he wants to, with a bash script, convert one of the values. It's math, it's numbers, he wants to do some math to it. I'm gonna give a very basic example that will hopefully point him in the right direction. I created this test.json file, which just has three items per row in there. And actually it's not even properly formatted, there should be a comma there. It doesn't matter for what we're doing. I just wanna show you, we're gonna take this second column here for each number and we're gonna do some maths to it. We're gonna divide it in half and then replace the original. And there's probably a better way to do it than I'm about to do it. Probably using regular expressions and stuff. But this is just the quick and dirty way that came to mind while texting with him.  Now I'm gonna say while read the line. I'm gonna say do, and of course we can echo dollar sign line. Done, which is gonna give us basically the same output as before. But I wanna put our value into a variable for each line. So basically I wanna get this number and this number and this number. So let's go ahead, oops, and let's just use cut a couple of times. Again, not the cleanest way to do it, but we're gonna cut. And we're gonna go one, two, three, I think. So right there. And then we're going to pipe that into cut again and use a delimiter of a comma, field one. There we go. So now we have each number. So I wanna put that into a variable. So I'm gonna take that, I'm just gonna call it x, x equals. And then in quotations and in parentheses saying, put the output of this command into this variable. But since it's a loop, it's gonna be doing that over and over again, replacing x each time. And I didn't cat anything out or echo anything out. So it did that, but didn't print anything to the screen. So let's go ahead and add to it. We're gonna say echo dollar sign x like so and we're back to getting our column there. Let's go ahead and do some math to this. And we're just gonna use BC. So I'm gonna say, let's say we divide each number by two. So I'm gonna say echo that number, dollar sign x, divide by two into BC. And we get the, now and also this is, we're rounding here, we're not doing any decimals here. But again, it's not the exact math he's doing. I'm just giving him the idea of how to do this in a loop. So now we have that value. Let's put that into y for each lines. We'll say y equals and inside quotations, dollar sign parentheses, we're going to do that. Now, just to make sure we have the right output, I'm gonna say echo dollar sign x is now dollar sign y. And I'll print out the screen. We haven't changed the file yet, but there we go. So this is the origin number. This is it halfed and rounded. So instead of printing it to the screen, let's use said to replace our original file, make a backup of your original file before you start messing with it like this. But I'm just gonna go say said dash i to replace the change in place. We're modifying the file instead of just outputting the screen. Again, it's test.json. And we're gonna say s, forward slash forward slash g. So we're gonna substitute globally and we're gonna say dollar sign x with dollar sign y. And again, this is a very sloppy way to do it. Because if any of the other columns have that exact number, you're gonna be modifying that too. But in this particular case, that doesn't matter. He's basically, he's converting GPS coordinates. And so anytime there's a GPS coordinate, he's gonna do the same math to it. So it doesn't matter if it's found someplace else. But we do that. And now if I cat out test.json, you can see our second column now has our new numbers rather than the old numbers. And that is an example on how to do that. Very sloppily, all online here. But hopefully it'll point him in the right direction. And I'm just doing this video to make it easier for him. And I'm sharing it with everybody in case it helps you. Again, I'm not saying this is the best way to do it, but it's a quick down, dirty way to do it. At least get something working before you can come up with a better solution. Sometimes that's what programming is. Getting it done, fixing it later. I thank you for watching as always. I hope that you have a great day. Please visit filmsbychris.com. That's Chris the K. There's a link in the description. Have a great day.


Hey guys, today. I'm going to share with you the reason for every goal failure. I've ever had So it's February. Sorry. It's March. It's March now So whatever time you're watching this video the reason I bring that up is New Year's Eve resolutions are now a distant memory For almost everybody right because they don't work. They don't work. We know that they don't work but the theme of this video the idea behind it is Very simple. It's not to go into every single failure. I've ever experienced and by failure I mean really what I mean by that is a broken promise That's my definition of failure Because a broken promise a promise we make to ourselves is something that's very important as I've spoken about in other videos Really what happens when we break promises to ourself is that trust goes away the trust you have with yourself So I take that very seriously. I've come to take it very seriously There was a time in my past when I was a lot younger when I didn't even see it as an issue Well, it was an issue and I discovered that But the reason for every goal failure I've ever had has been Taking on too much Taking on too much the goals I make are too big and They're too long-range. Okay, so what I'm talking about here is I'm inviting you I want you to get some value immediately from watching this video, right? So what I would say is it's very simple. Okay? You identify the areas in your life that you would like to see progress in Okay, not in five years time. We're talking about maybe five days. Okay five days. What's it and?  It could be two three Four maybe don't go over that. Okay, because then it gets to Micro managerial. Okay, you want to keep it down to maybe four things that you would like to see consistent growth in over the next few days, right and So what you do is you say, okay, well, what do I need to do each day for those areas? Yeah Now your first impulse here's a trick your first impulse for setting out tasks in these areas is usually wrong Okay, and by wrong, I mean too big too big What we generally do is we take on too much for each one. So what I'm saying here is Okay, you want to experience positive feedback incremental baby step Progress every day that you're doing this. So what you say to yourself is you take that initial a lot amount of time or task whatever you had laid out for yourself originally and maybe one of your areas and Take away from it. So say if you for instance, if it's fitness or something like that, right? And you're saying over the next five days. I will work out for 45 minutes, right as an example Now if you have been failing to do that for the last while and it's been making you feel bad Okay, that's an indication that that's a way too much way too much So you start scaling it back until you get to the point where you're saying well, that's ridiculously easy Ridiculously easy. Okay. So it could be something like I work out for ten minutes Okay, what we're looking for now. You might say ten minutes. What's the point? The point is you're going to become consistent with it and you're actually going to achieve something Okay, and you keep a promise to yourself, which will make you feel better Okay, because it's the breaking promises to yourself that hurts yourself So and you do that with all your areas whatever they are so that when you look at it and your your Daily tasks for that day. You say well, you know what if I can't do that There's something else at play, okay Usually to be honest with that is is emotional. There's an emotional issue. It's going on. Okay, and that's something else But give yourself the very best possible chance Of addressing those areas in a very very easy way because as I've said before the one emotion that has people Really hinders our progress. One emotion is feeling overwhelmed. Okay, if people feel overwhelmed They should up shop. Okay hit this stop Investing this stop trying, right? So give that a go but don't do it for two weeks or a month my monthly goals Do it for a few days because what you're going to do is just try this as like an experiment in self-trust Okay, and that's the real that's the real prize of all this It's not that you're going to actually achieve these things which is a nice happy pie product But it's more of an investigation into How honest am I with myself? Okay, can I trust myself? So that's what you'll learn and after five days you'll say, okay, what did I learn about myself this last period? Okay, how close really am I and it's if you fail. It's not a matter of oh my god How bad am I I can't trust myself? It's basically you go smaller again smaller again, right until you find you know What I can trust myself. I can trust myself with these baby steps and that's kind of like, you know It's self-compassion itself love. It's cheesy. You probably hear it all the time, but on a practical level That's what it looks like. Okay being honest with yourself and doing things that you know are in your own best interests, okay? So guys give that a go and I hope it helps and I will talk to you very soon. Take care


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we are going to discuss the following question and the question says that the market value of Syrah's house is $228,000. Calculate her property tax if the assessment rate is 25% and property tax rate is 7.35%. Now let us start with the solution of the given question. The market value of Syrah's house is given as $228,000. Assessment rate is given as 25%. First of all we shall find the assessed value which is given by assessment rate into market value and this will be equal to 25% into $228,000 which can be written as 25% into $228,000 and this is equal to 25% into $2280 which is equal to $57,000. So we can say that assessed value of Syrah's house is $57,000. Now tax rate is also given as 7.35% and we know that property tax due is equal to assessed value into tax rate. So here it will be equal to assessed value that is $57,000 into tax rate that is 7.35%. Now this can be written as $57,000 into 7.35 upon 100 and this is equal to $570 into 7.35 that is $4189.50. Thus Syrah will pay $4189.50 as property tax on her house. This is the required answer. This completes our session. Hope you enjoyed this session.


Okay, welcome back everyone to our class BC 308 on Revelation and Daniel. This is our second lecture for today, and we're going to begin with some questions. So, Abraham, you're there? Okay, I'm not sure if Abraham's back. Alright, say, maybe we'll take your question first, and then we will take up Abraham's question. I just want to make sure Abraham is there when we answer this question. Oh, you're there? Okay. Okay, not a problem. Alright, so let's answer Abraham's question in the chat. Are we going to be different in terms of ranking in Heaven? I'm trying to just think, Abraham, as to my understanding, I don't see any indication in Scripture that believers are going to be ranked differently. We will be recognized differently in the sense that, yeah, we will recognize those who are ranked differently. We will be recognized differently in the sense that, yeah, we will recognize those who are those 24 elders. We will recognize the 12 apostles of the Lamb. We've recognized the Old Testament Saints, New Testament Saints. Of course, we'll recognize all of them. But this doesn't seem to be an indication of different rank other than the fact that, you know, there are 24 elders seated around the throne. That's very special. Of course, that's very special. Not everybody's sitting around the throne in that manner.  There's no indication of that. What we do know is we will get rewards, which obviously are different for the works we've done. That is there. Each one receive a reward according to his work. Other than the reward being given in proportion to or in relation to the work we've done. I don't see an indication in Scripture where there would be different ranking of believers. During the Millennium, that is, when we the Saints are with Jesus on the earth, at that time the responsibility given to us during the Millennium, Bill Berry, we can infer, we can state that from Luke 19. When Jesus gave the parable the talents, he said, you know, you have been faithful in few things. You have been made ruler over so many cities. So that means the authority we're given during the Millennium is in proportion to or in relation to the work and the faithfulness of which we have served the Lord during this time. So that is evident from Luke 19. But as far as I can see, there is nothing in Scripture indicating different ranking in heaven. So if somebody says, and I've read some material where people say I've had a vision in heaven and I've gone there and I've seen different classifications of believers and all of that. Well, that's a personal vision that they've had and they've written a book about it or they've written about it somewhere. But I do not see it backed up by Scripture. So that has to be taken with, okay, it's your vision. Thank you for sharing, but it's not something I need to subscribe to because it's not backed up in Scripture. But there are people who have written, you know, books like that and shared their so-called visions or dreams where they talk about different classifications and categorization of believers and all that. Now, whether it was just a dream or just their own, whatever, imagination at work, we don't know because we don't see it substantiated in Scripture. So that would be my response. As far as Scripture is concerned, we don't see it stated like that. Okay, Pastor, thank you so much. Say your question, please. Yes, sir, Pastor. Well, a question I wanted to ask is that the numbers that are given in Chapter 7 of those who have sealed, should it be read literally? Or should it be read from a Jewish cultural context that I may not understand? Maybe you can explain because there's tendency to just believe that these are the only number of people, you know, that would be, these are the only people who will come out of their tribulation and will come out, you know, sealed, but other was safe from the tribulation period. So I just wanted to get clarification on that because I've heard some people, you know, giving different explanations on what these numbers mean. So one of the things we, the approaches that we take in interpreting prophetic Scripture is this, where the literal makes sense, keep it literal, where the literal is observed, then read it as figurative. So that's kind of a general rule of thumb in handling prophetic Scripture. For example, you know, Revelation 6-1, somebody coming riding on a white horse with a crown. Okay, that doesn't make sense, you know, we don't have that happening these days.  Okay, that's figurative, right, because the literal is observed. So applying that same rule of thumb here, can 144,000 people be selected by God to be his servants? Is the literal possible? Answers here. So wherever the literal is possible, then we don't take it as figurative. It is literal, right? So my response would be, yeah, there are, it says 144,000, yeah, 144,000. Because if we choose to take this figurative, then, you know, everywhere else, we should say Jesus had, you know, if you had 12 disciples, we could say, well, maybe that's figurative. No, no, no, it's not figurative. It's 12 disciples, 12 literal disciples. 12 spies were sent. That's not figurative. That's literal. 12 spies were sent. Right. So wherever the literal is possible and logical, take it as literal. So we would apply the same principle here in interpreting scripture. Hey, the literal is practical. 144,000 people, Jewish people, sealed by God to serve him during the tribulation. So they served God. It doesn't mean only 144,000 were saved because we will read later on that there are in Revelation 12, we will read that there are more Jewish people, people who are going to be saved, Jewish people and as well as people, others who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. So this chapter is not saying that only 144,000 are going to be saved. What this chapter is saying is 144,000 were selected to serve God, for marked and sealed and to serve God in order to bring many more to salvation. We see the outcome of that ministry right here and we will see it again. We will see, you know, further things that many more people are being saved. So why 12? Because there were 12 tribes. 12 is a, you know, if you want to understand the meaning of the word 12, meaning of word 12 is 12. 12 is God's government. Well, the number 12 represents God's government biblically. That's the significance, but it doesn't need to be applied here because it's not about 12, but it's about 144,000 people who are being serving God. So that's how I would look at Revelation 7 and I wouldn't, you know, extrapolate other things or neither would I add things to it. People literal literal make sense. They're serving God perfectly fine. 12,000 from each tribe. Perfectly fine. The number 12 represents government, but does it apply here? No, it doesn't. So I don't need to introduce that idea here. And so on. Yeah. You have a follow up question to this day. Yes. Sorry again. So what I was just going to ask is, I know it says the tribes of Israel, but I'm just wondering, was this more than just Israel or was this specific to Israel? Could it be that John was talking from his limitation as an, as a Jewish person? Or is this more than just Israel? I don't know. I would ask that question. Yeah. So again, here we would say, take it the way it is stated. He mentions very specifically, you know, the names of those tribes. So, hey, he said it's the tribe of Judah. Let's take it literally. It is the tribe of Judah. We shouldn't use it figuratively. So my response is, yes, it is the specific tribe that he mentioned. It means that these are, so for example, right today in this, in our world today, we have Jewish people scattered all over the world. We have some Jews descendants, even in India, Jews in all parts of the world. Now they are descendants of a particular tribe. Today they may be, you know, living in different parts of the world, but if they trace their ancestry back, they're going to be from one of these 12 tribes. And what John is saying is God has marked out 144,000 people, Jewish people, descendants from these 12 tribes who are going to serve God during the tribulation. That's all he's saying. So are there actually 144,000 people? Yes, because that's the number given. Are they actually descendants from these 12 tribes? Yes, because that's where the Jewish people came from. They couldn't, if they're not from these 12 tribes, they're not Jewish. They are literally Jewish people because it states very clearly the tribe. Yeah. These are the 12 tribes. This one, they're descendants of these tribes. What is their purpose? They're going to serve God. So all these things, you know, these scriptures, do they make sense if they were taken literally? Yes. So we'll keep them literal and not make them figurative. Christopher, and then I see a couple of questions in the chat, which we will take up. Christopher, your question. Yes. This is a related question to these tribes. Would these tribes actually be messianic Jews? Because they are the ones who already believed that Jesus actually came as a man on the earth earlier. And the other question is around these tribes. Are they in existence right now?  And would they be Jews that go back to these tribes or are they currently living right now? Interestingly, I was just doing a little bit of research on Manasseh. And as you mentioned, these Manassehs actually, they are tribes who are actually in the northeast of India, in some way in Manipur. And they currently live in that area. So, yeah. So that's just sort of a bleak statement. But I just want to take some clarity on these two questions. Yeah. So are these messianic Jews? So basically the term messianic Jews is a term that is used for Jewish people who are embraced Jesus as a messiah. Right. So it's any Jew who believes in Jesus Christ as Messiah, as Lord and Savior.  So the answer to your question is, yeah, these people, these 144,000 Jews are going to be serving Jesus Christ during the tribulation. So according to this term, messianic, it's not, you know, it's just a term that we've created in our times. Yeah. We can call them messianic Jews, but they don't necessarily have to identify themselves as messianic Jews. They're just Jews who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. We're going to be serving God. We're going to be preaching the gospel during the tribulation. So in that sense, yeah, they are messianic Jews, but they don't necessarily have to identify themselves as messianic Jews. The second question is, like I said, today we have Jews scattered all over the world. They're in different parts of India. You've got Jews in Kerala. You've got Jews in Mumbai. You've got Jews like you said in the Northeast. You've got some Jews, I think even in Rajasthan maybe. They're in different parts of the world.  Right. Every Jew belongs to one of these tribes. Otherwise, it's not a Jew. Right. So if you trace that ancestry, it comes from the 12 sons of Jacob. So obviously they belong to one of those tribes. So God is going to have 144,000 of these people serve him. So the fact that they are Jews means they belong to one of these 12 tribes. Otherwise, they would not be a Jew. They scattered all over the world and God would seal them and use them. So to answer your question, the answer is yes. These are, every Jew belongs to one of the 12 tribes. That's why they are Jews. Descendants are from Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Jacob's 12 sons. Descendants. So that's what identifies them as Jewish. So, you know, which part of the world they may be, they could be all over the world today. Every in the scattered worldwide. And they could be people from within Israel or people outside in other countries who are going to be serving God. Yeah. Let's take these questions from the chat. Kennedy, is there any possibility that all the suffering could be shortened during tribulation times? So, Kennedy, what we do know is the Lord has ordained seven years. So these are seven calendar years. The only argument that we could have is are these seven Jewish years or seven Gregorian calendar years, but that differential is just a handful of days. So it's not a very big difference. But it's seven years, very clearly stated for us in scripture. 42, you know, 42 months mid afterwards. And so totally in 84 months, seven years, that's set. So that will not be changed because God has already determined that. If you're talking about at an individual level, we will read, you know, that there will be people who want to die, but they will not be able to die. That's a strange thing and we will read about that in chapter eight as part of what happens. So that's a different context. That's at an individual level. But to answer your question, will God change the seven years? He won't because he's already declared it to be so. Elisha's question, do Jewish people have any privilege in the second coming than other believers? I would go to Hebrews chapter 11, the latter part of Hebrews. And again, you know, to answer that question, I would reference Romans chapter 9, 10, 11, and also Hebrews chapter 11, the end of Hebrews 11 to answer your question. Elisha. So basically, you know, Romans chapters 9, 10, 11, the Apostle Paul teaches us how God is working with the church and with Israel during this time. So it's a very interesting revelation in Romans up to 9, 10, 11, where Paul is saying that Paul is saying that for a period of time, God is working with the church. But he's going to bring everything back together and give you the exact verse, Romans 11, 26, I think it is, where he says that, let me give you the exact verse. Yeah, Romans 11, 25.  So it's a mystery. It's something that's hidden. That's been revealed. What is the mystery? Let's just be wise in opinion that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved. So it's very interesting. Study Romans 9, 10, 11, and there's Romans 11, 25, 26, kind of sums it up. It says, look, at this moment right now, Israel is blinded, but God's letting them be there. Because he is working with the church, Romans 11, 25, until he has touched all the Gentiles, the fullness of the Gentiles. God has done his work with the Gentiles. So right now, we're in that stage. We call it the church age. God is dealing with the Gentiles. But then tribulation, the focus changes back onto Israel because now he's going to bring us all together and all Israel, he's going to touch the people, the Jewish people. So then Hebrews 11 says that Hebrews 11, 39, 40, the writer of Hebrews says that they should not be made perfect apart from us. In other words, the way God is going to wrap everything up is by bringing us all together. He's not going to treat the church differently from Israel or Jewish believers. He's going to, they without us will not be made perfect, meaning, look, we're going all going to enter into this together. So the church and people of Israel who are saved, who essentially are the church or part of the church, they will come together. We see this again in Ephesians 2 where Paul says, he has made both one new man and they both have access to the father by the same spirit, Ephesians 2. So to answer your question, there will be no difference. Everyone, Jews and Gentiles who believe in Christ will be brought together in the same manner. The only thing we are seeing is with these 144,000 Jewish people who are servants of God, who are marked by God to serve him during the tribulation because they are going to be proclamers of the gospel. Doesn't mean they are the only ones who are going to be saved, but they're going to be serving God during the tribulation. That's the only, I would say, special thing that's happening. But in terms of the whole, the big picture, you see all these scriptures, God is bringing us all together. One thing that will happen, and Zechariah mentions this in Zechariah 12 verse 10, that at the second coming, there's going to be big great mourning in Israel because Jesus mentions this also in Revelation 1. Zechariah prophesied about it. He said, every eye who pierced him, they will see him and they will mourn. I'm talking specifically about the house of David. This is in Zechariah 12 verse 10. So that is going to happen. Now, it's not a special thing, but I'm just mentioning it. That when Christ returns in Revelation 19, it's going to have a big impact on the people of Israel at that time. They are going to mourn because they see the one whom they have rejected and pierced. Sorry, I said all that just to say there's no difference. We're going to be coming together, made perfect together. Thank you, Pastor. A quick follow-up. Does that mean to me that God has already determined the salvation of a particular group, say the 144,000, that number, if it is made up and no addition, no take-away, has God already made that determination that 144,000, some 144,000 of the Jewish people are going to be saved? Is that the interpretation, please? So, remember the focus of this 144,000 is not who are going to be saved. The focus of this 144,000 is who are going to be serving God during tribulation. So, how many are going to be saved? Millions. How do we know? Well, in that same chapter, Revelation 7.9, there's a great multitude, huge numbers of people. So, great multitudes are going to be saved during the tribulation. We don't know how many. It's just great multitudes from all people, tribes, including Israel. So, the 144,000 has to do with these people who are going to serve Him, their servants of God. So, salvation is not limited to these 144,000 Jews. Salvation is extended to all the Jews and all peoples of all nations, tribes and towns. But these 144,000 have been marked by God to serve Him. Just like you have been marked by God to serve Him, or I've been marked by God to serve Him. Each one of us has been marked by God to serve Him. In that same sense, these 144,000 have been marked by God to serve Him. Will God override their will and force these 144,000?  Well, that's the way it's going to be. Because God has not made these 144,000 Jews as robots. No, they are people like you and me. We all were marked by God to serve Him in this generation at this time. But it takes the cooperation of our will to serve God. So likewise, these 144,000 Jews, we could say, if you want to use the word, they are invited by God to serve Him during that revelation. If they all choose to protest and not serve God and choose to go to hell, so be it. They're not robots, they're people. And they're given a free will. But God says, I have called you to serve me. Give me the special privilege to serve me. During that revelation, it's highly likely all of them will serve God, just like you and I are choosing to say yes to the call of God. So we must understand it in that context. Okay, Pastor, thank you very much. So, all right, so let's get into chapter 8 if there are no more questions. So chapter 8, we transition from the seven seals into the seven trumpets. But before we transition into the seven trumpets, there's something interesting happens. We see there is a global prayer movement happening on earth. And it's very logical because you've got all these judgments happening. People are realizing this is the great day of wrath. There are people who are proclaiming the gospel, 144,000 Jews, but there'll be lots more people standing up to proclaim Jesus during the tribulation because they've realized it.  We will come to that in chapter 13. And in chapter 13, and also we'll see that in Revelation 17, that the antichrist is going against people who believe in Jesus Christ. It's severe. But while that's happening, Revelation 8 gives us an amazing insight. There's a global prayer movement, so much so that God himself, an angel of God, passed down a golden sense out that's talking about symbolic, prophetic about a prayer movement.  And it's very logical, right? What do you do when you're facing, you're going through a time like this? There will be people who turn to God in prayer. So we see that in the early part of chapter 8. And then the rest of chapter 8 and into chapter 9, we go through each of these seven trumpet judgments. So each one is again causing something catastrophic to happen on earth. And then in chapter 9, we see that there's a deluge of demonic spirits that are released on the earth to destroy lives. So let's read it. Let's go through chapter 8 verses 1 through 13. It's not a very big chapter. We'll read three verses each please. Somebody could start. Revelation chapter 8 verse 1, when he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God and to them were given seven trumpets. Then another angel, having a golden censor, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar, which was before the throne. Amen. It was for onwards please. Yes. And the smoke of the incense of the prayers of the saints ascended up before God from the hand of the angel. And the angel took the censor and filled it with the fire of the altar. And cast it on the earth. And there were thunders and voices and lightnings and a great earthquake. And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound the trumpet. Thank you. Thank you. Verse 7 please. Verse 7, the first angel sounded his trumpet and there came hail and fire mixed with blood. And it was hurled down on the earth. A third of the earth was burnt up. A third of the trees were burnt up. And all the green grass was burnt up. The second angel sounded in his trumpets. Something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood. A third of leaving clifters in the sea died. And a third of the ships were destroyed. Okay, we're staying on watch please. The third angel sounded and a great star fell from heaven burning like a torch. And it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters. The name of the star is called Wormwood. And the third of the waters became Wormwood. And many men died on the waters because they were made bitter. The fourth angel sounded and a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were struck so that a third of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a third of it and the night in the same way. Yeah, we're starting to also turn. Then I looked and I heard an eagle flying in mid-heaven saying with a loud voice, woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth because of the remaining glass of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound. Thank you. So, chapter 13. We are transitioning, we transition from the seals to the trumpets. And in between verses 1 through 5, we are seeing prayer, the prayers of the saints. So, this angel has a sense, a golden sense with incense and the incense that represents this prayer of the saints and he throws the incense into the earth signifying, hey, I am giving rise to a prayer movement and the prayers of the saints are going to ascend before God. So, that's why we mentioned, this is a term that we coined, it's not biblical, but it's like based on this, there's going to be a prayer movement. People are going to be praying to God. What would they be praying? Praying for God's deliverance, praying for God's protection, prayers of repentance turning to God. These are prayers of the saints, people on earth, the saints on earth coming up before the throne of God. So, that means there will be saints on earth, people who are saved after the rapture. There's going to be people saying, it's very obvious. People see everything happening, they're going to turn to God in repentance and their prayers are coming up before the throne of God. But now the judgments have to continue. Then we start off with the trumpet judgments. And each trumpet is telling us something that's going to happen. The first trumpet, first angel sounds and vegetation. One third of earth's vegetation is destroyed. Now when we look at the earth today or the world today, we do have these huge forest fires. We have them happening in North America, South America, we have Australia, different parts of the world where sometimes fires just get out of control and hectares upon hectares upon hectares of land just burn down. But here it's saying one third of the trees and the grass was burned up. This is global. Right now we can't control some of these fires that happen in regions but this is talking about something global. A third of the earth's vegetation is burned up. That's massive. Then there is, verse 8, the waters are affected. Sea is affected. It's a great mountain burning with fire. We don't know for sure but we could imagine this, like a mountain burning with fires, like a picture of a volcano eruption or something like that. But Sir John didn't know about volcanoes so he just sees mountain burning with fire. And that's how he describes it. Maybe he was seeing some volcanic eruption or multiple volcanic eruptions happening or something in that nature that's affecting the sea, the water in the sea, destroying life in the sea, destroying, affecting transportation. But this is in a massive scale because it says a third of the sea. That's huge. So affecting a third of all transportation on sea. It's huge. We read about incidents happening here and there and when there are eruptions, volcanic eruptions happening here and there but this is something on much larger scale. Similarly, we are seeing waters being affected. It's so affected that people cannot drink the water and it's made bitter. That's in verses 10 and 11. And then the fourth trumpet is similar to what we read in chapter 6 about the sun, the moon, the stars being darkened similar to Joel's prophecy. So it's happening a second time. It happened first in one of the seal judgments. It's happening again in one of the trumpet judgments that the sun, the moon is being darkened. And as an angel announcing war to the inhabitants, both things are going to happen. That means, hey, the other three trumpets are going to cause even greater calamity. So that's chapter 8. We're just joining through the first four judgments. Let's go through chapter 9. It's a little longer chapter. A little more details are given but these are the next two judgments, trumpet judgments. So let's read verses 1 to 12, please. Revelation 9 verses 1 to 12. We could read three verses each. The fifth angel's root is trumpet. And I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft, the abyss. When you open the abyss, smoke rose from it, like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the abyss. And out of the smoke, locus came down on the earth and were given power like that of the scorpions of the earth. Okay, it was for somebody? It was for. They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree. Only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes. During those days, people who seek death but will not find it, they will long to die but death will elude them. Thank you. Verse 7 onwards, please. The shape of the locus was like horses prepared for battle on their heads were crowned for something like gold and their faces were like the faces of man. They had hair like women's hair and their teeth were like land's teeth and they had brisket like brisket of iron and the sound of their wing was like the sound of chariot with many horses running into battle.  Verse 11 and 12, somebody? And they had... The angel of the bottomless pit whose name was named in Hebrew is Eberdon but in Greek he has a name Apolion. One who is fast behold still two more horses are coming after these things. Thank you. Yeah, we'll stop there. Thank you. Thank you. So this is quite elaborate about the fifth trumpet judgment. So you find a lot of activity happening. So basically an angel opens up this bottomless pit and that's interesting because we read about the bottomless pit but we don't know. There's not too much information given to us about it. So we have the phrase bottomless pit here. We have it there in Revelation 20 when Satan is down for a thousand years he's put away into the bottomless pit. We have reference made to it. We don't know exactly where it is, what it is, so on. But it's a place where God banishes demonic spirits, evil spirits and Satan himself will be thrown there. So this trumpet, fifth trumpet being sounded demonic spirits are being released from the bottomless pit to come upon the earth. Now we see them. It's very interesting because in the early part of chapter nine they are described as locusts and scorpions. So when somebody has dreams about locusts and scorpions you know that these are prophetic pictures of evil spirits, demonic spirits. But then later on in the same chapter nine verses seven through ten John is giving us some more description of these demonic spirits which are very, I'd use the word weird. They're weird because John is writing them as he sees it as it appears to him. And we don't know exactly what it is.  Now we don't need to try to interpret seven through ten because anything would be just speculation but if we try to put ourselves, okay, John is seeing something and he's describing it in his language. Could they, and again we are just speculating could they represent something known to us on the earth today meaning could these evil spirits that are released from the bottomless pits actually empower some sort of mechanism, machinery known to us today and use that as instruments or vehicles to carry out what they're doing possible, right? So, you know, is John seeing some drones or is John seeing, I mean what we know as drones or is he seeing some, you know, aircraft or whatever we don't know, let's, you know, we could just imagine maybe speculate a bit to make things interesting but just leave it as it is that, okay, we can't interpret what he's doing, he's recorded what he's seen at that time based on it, but what is clear is there are demonic forces that are released on the earth they are led by the demon of the bottomless pits that's verse 11, that means this being the spirit is spearheading this thing and for five months they torment people all over the earth except for those who have been marked by the Holy Spirit this will, the 144,000 Jews obviously are marked or sealed by the Holy Spirit if you want to extend that those who have the seal of God on their forehead so it is not verse 4 of Revelation 9 he's not restricting them to the 144,000 but it's everyone who has the seal of God on their foreheads like I said, the seal of God represents two things represents the Holy Spirit and the name of God so what we can say based on verse 4 is believers in Christ during the tribulation are going to be spared this thing so these demon spirits are going to torment those who don't have the seal of God on them don't have the Holy Spirit and the name of the Lord on their lives going to torment them to the point that people will want to die but they cannot die so what kind of a torment is it? is it physical? seems like it because it says the torment is like when a scorpion strikes a man, that's verse 5 but it could also be mental torture, emotional torture to the point where people want to die but they cannot die and this is going to go on for 5 months on the earth so we can say that it's going to be very, very severe what we could venture to say is it's possible based on verse 7-10 that these demon spirits actually use some sort of thing on earth, missionary, mechanism to carry out their work so they may be because we see this happening in Revelation 16 also that evil spirits work through human agency to carry out their work we'll see it in Revelation 16 so based on that, it's possible that Revelation 9, 7-10 is talking about these spirits that are released from the bottom of the spit using some sort of human agency to really afflict people and cause them harm, torture them like this but it is targeting or it will affect only those who don't have the seal of God that we're not saying don't have the Holy Spirit in the name of God on their lives so we'll pause here, we've made some progress today it comes to Revelation 9, chapter 9 verse 12 we will pick this up next week any questions? I know we're already out of time but any quick questions? Go ahead, say very quick question so we wanted to say that the events we're reading now from chapter 7 is happening in the second half of the Tribulation no, all this is still in the first half of the Tribulation the transition happens in Revelation chapter 11 verse 1 because in Revelation 11 verse 1 it clearly tells us from then on it repeats Revelation chapter 11, chapter 12, chapter 13 on all of these three chapters it tells us very clearly from that point on there is 42 months so till Revelation chapter 11 verse 1 that is till the end of chapter 10 it's on the first half of the Tribulation so we are still in the first half of the Tribulation chapter 11 verse 1 is a midpoint thank you pastor, I'm so very grateful that you're holding us I'm just wondering, one might just argue that the release of the Apparedo of the Antichrist after the church has gone will this aim not be to unite the nations try to give a sense of peace in the first half of the Tribulation so what I'm seeing from all the judgments released it looks like Tribulation really starts from the beginning like it's really going to be serious and then it just gets hotter I was thinking maybe the first half even though yes there might be some form of force on the part of the Antichrist I thought maybe there will just be maybe I'm overthinking it, I don't know I thought maybe this would happen in the second half all these judgments that are happening on the edge right now so good observation but let's differentiate two things let's differentiate political positioning versus calamities happening so the man in Revelation 6.1 the man who comes riding on a white horse it's very intentional the figure, white horse, he comes as a man of peace he has a crown, he has a lot of influence so he's got influence over nations, over kingdoms so it is true he's coming in as a man of peace he signs a covenant of peace, Daniel 9.27 for seven years so his political movements the first three and a half years is one of peace but he is actually a man of war that's why he's actually carrying a bow and arrow Revelation 6.1 but he comes on a white horse meaning his political movements in the first three and a half years is one of peace but while that is happening there are all kinds of calamities judgments being poured out on the earth you will notice none of these things are political all these seals and judgments all these judgments, the seals and the trumpets so far are all environmental, you could say there is war, there's war beginning there in the second horse, the red horse there's war there happening that war could be an outcome of him trying to introduce peace because he is trying to bring peace to the Middle East there are going to be nations who may not like that so there's war there other than that, other than Revelation 6.3 where it's a second horse, the red horse everything else has to do with the environment things happening but when we get into the second part in 11.1 onwards we will see a lot of things getting worse so it's like a mixed bag if you want to say that way he's introducing peace there's a lot of environmental things happening but for the faith there's political movement but for the faith of the people there's a lot of harm happening people are being killed for their faith but things get worse in the second half of the tribulation so in one way, yes what you're saying is right, it's a good observation but I think if we also make note that most of the things we've seen so far are environmental things happening outside in the environment and all of that but there's also the political movement of this man on the white horse who signed a covenant of peace for seven years so it's a mixed thing I'm so sorry again my last follow-up question I wouldn't ask again the other question I just wanted to ask was that I lost my train of thought I lost my train of thought if I remember I'll ask in the next class sorry Pastor not a problem we can pick it up again next week we can discuss further good questions, thank you everyone let's close and pray, I know we're already into a break time but let's close and pray and then we can get to our next class somebody please pray and we will continue this next week Heavenly Father, we thank you for this beautiful session we thank you for revealing your truth to us Father so that we can be prepared for the day of your coming Father and thank you for all the work that you have begun in us, that you have promised you shall finish we thank you for everything that we are learning Father may it glorify your name, be used for the expansion of your kingdom and save many souls we give you glory, honour and praise for who you are and how you're leading us in Jesus' name we ask and pray, amen thank you everyone, we'll have a quick break I'll see you in the other class, God bless bye now
