Here we are, 2 Timothy, we're going to look today at chapter 2, verses 8 through 14 as we continue our verse by verse study here in the epistle of 2 Timothy. And so I'll read you verses 8 through 14. I'm going to give you a prolonged introduction to remind you of several things, then move into the application, the study and application of the verses before us. So let's begin reading together here in 2 Timothy in chapter 2, verse 8. I'll read to verse 14, we'll get into our study. Paul writes, remember that Jesus Christ of the seat of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel, for which I suffered trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains, but the word of God is not chained. Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. This is a faithful saying, for if we died with him, we shall also live with him. If we endure, we shall also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us. If we are faithless, he remains faithful. He cannot deny himself. Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord, not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers. So Paul begins his section with a reminder that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead. That's what he begins with in verse 8 when he says, remember that Jesus Christ of the seat of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel. So he begins with a reminder that Jesus was raised from the dead. So the question has to be asked as you look at this passage, why would Paul begin with that reminder? Well it's necessary because Timothy needs to remember that living for the Lord, and this is something all of us need to remember too, living for the Lord is costly. And he needs to remember that. You see Timothy is a pastor of a church in a major city in Asia Minor. And he's enduring great opposition to his ministry. The church itself is contending over various problems that are in existence. When you read 1 Timothy you begin to see Paul addressing these things. And we spent some weeks going through 1 Timothy looking at the individual problems that were being faced by Timothy in this particular church there in Asia Minor in the city of Ephesus. And as we looked at this you could see some of the problems that Paul was instructing Timothy concerning how to deal with. The men in the church were not taking spiritual leadership. The women were dressing immodestly. They were putting too much emphasis on outer beauty. Some of the women were usurping positions of leadership in the church. Some of the leaders there in the church of Ephesus were not spiritually qualified. Some of the deacons' wives were not reverent, they were gossips, they were unreliable. Some of the homes of leaders were out of order. Timothy's youth and his qualifications had come under attack. Some of the widows in the church were taking advantage of being financially supported. There were questions concerning financial compensation for elders. Accusations were being lodged against leaders without witnesses. Bond servants were taking advantage of believing masters. Some of the members of the church were in love with money. Pride and financial success had led to some members to begin to trust in their money and some of the leaders had actually introduced teachings that contradicted the message of the gospel. A false teaching had been introduced and that false teaching centered on the law of Moses and that had caused people to turn aside, as Paul said, to idle talk. Some have been influenced by false teachings and they've begun to reject the faith. Two well-known former leaders were excommunicated, Hymenaeus and Alexander. In chapter 2 here in 2 Timothy verse 17, that verse mentions another former leader named Phyletus who had been influenced in that way. Part of the false teaching entering the church began to encourage a form of asceticism. People were being forbidden to marry. They were ordered to abstain from certain foods. Physical exercises that were promising deep spiritual life were being introduced to the church and false teachers were rejecting Paul's teachings and had become obsessed with disputation. So for a young pastor, this opposition was extremely discouraging. So it moved Paul to tell him, remember the prophecies that had been made concerning him. He said that in 1 Timothy 118. It also moved him to tell Timothy to stir up the gift of God that he had received through the laying out of hands. In 2 Timothy chapter 1 verse 6, and it moved Paul to tell Timothy to be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. Now, of course opposition was something Jesus prepared his disciples to anticipate. On various occasions, so when you read your gospel, you see this. He informed us, he informed his followers that believers are going to be persecuted. That's not something new and that's certainly not a surprise. He made it clear that the world would not accept the gospel message. And he made it clear that they would not simply reject the message itself. He said they are not only going to reject the message, they will reject you too. In John 15 verses 19 and 20, Jesus said, if you were of the world, the world would love its own yet because you are not of the world. But I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.  If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.  So today, we need to remember that when we live for Jesus, we encounter opposition. That's something that is blatantly obvious to anybody who has any eyes. It's quite obvious that the church is being rejected. We have examples of rejection and opposition and almost every day. Just last week, the view host, Joy Bayhart, claimed that Vice President Mike Pence, saying that the Lord speaks to him, is a form of mental illness. Mike Pence is a believer in Christ and he made that statement. You know, the Lord speaks to my heart and she says, isn't that a form of mental illness? She said, it's one thing to talk to Jesus. It's another thing when Jesus talks to you. That's called mental illness, if I'm not correct, hearing voices. Now, this is on ABC on this amazing show, The Voice. Now, I want you to think about that for just a minute. How easy it was for her to say that. Why did she say that? She said that because Mike Pence is a committed Christian. That's why she said that. It's easy for her to say that because they have an audience filled with people who clap and applaud that kind of comment. That's why it's easy, it doesn't take any courage to say that when you have an accepting audience. It's not hard to say that at all. But I wonder if she'd say the same thing about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Because perhaps she doesn't remember or didn't know that Dr. King prayed and gave a story. He even made a statement concerning how the Lord spoke to him and said to him that he needed to keep strong because he was at a time when he was out doing the work that he was doing and he was becoming discouraged. And Dr. King said that he could hear an inner voice saying, Martin Luther King, stand up for righteousness, stand up for justice, stand up for truth. And lo, I will be with you even until the end of the world. Martin Luther King speaks of how he heard the voice of Jesus telling him to fight on, promising never to leave him alone. And he said, almost at once my fears began to go, my uncertainty disappeared. I wonder if she would say that about Martin Luther King, Jr., or if it's just okay to say that about Vice President Mike Pence. Many didn't take kindly to the treatment of his faith, especially the things that Bayhar said. Someone wrote, this is disheartening. And yet another example of how people who sit in a pew every Sunday are not just misunderstood, but mocked. Robert Jeffress, the pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, a member of President Trump's Evangelical Advisory Board said in a Fox News interview Wednesday, let's just go ahead and say what we all know is true. If Joy Bayhar had attacked a devout Muslim for his faith, ABC would have fired her in a nanosecond. He went on to say to the left, when it comes to attacking conservative Christians, it is always open season. That's true, that's absolutely true. A 2015 Gallup poll found that 75% of Americans called themselves Christian, but this does not mean that these who call themselves Christians take their faith seriously. Someone said, many are more concerned with global warming and secondhand cigarette smoke than they are about the life of the unborn, the normalization of sexual promiscuity, the attack on marriage, and the obvious hostility towards all things Christian. I read something interesting written by an Orthodox Jewish rabbi named Daniel Lappin. Rabbi Lappin is the founder of the Pacific Jewish Center in Venice. And Rabbi Lappin wrote, what is truly alarming is that there are more books for sale at your local large bookstore, warning against the perils of fervent Christianity than those warning against the perils of fervent Islam. Does anyone seriously think America is more seriously jeopardized by Christian conservatives than by Islamic zealots? Without a vibrant and vital Christianity, America is doomed. And without America, the West is doomed, which is why I, an Orthodox Jewish rabbi devoted to Jewish survival, the Torah and Israel am so terrified of American Christianity caving in. Many of us Jews are ready to stand with you, but you must lead. You must replace your timidity with nerve and your diffidence with daring and determination. You are under attack. Now is the time to resist it. Now that's not coming from a Christian. That's not coming from a conservative Christian. That's coming from a Jewish rabbi who sees what many don't see, even church people don't see. Timothy is going through hard times. So Paul writes to strengthen him, to encourage him. And so he uses the model of a teacher, a soldier, an athlete, a hard-working farmer. And he says, as they are all faithful, you need to remain faithful. But what is going to keep him strong as he's going through this hardship? What will help him to endure? Well, he begins in verse eight. Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel. What's going to keep him strong? You need to remember who he is. You need to remember what he's done on your behalf. Jesus Christ is of the seed of David. So he's speaking concerning Jesus's humanity, but he's also referring to his deity. The seed of David speaks of his humanity, his earthly lineage. The angel Gabriel was speaking to Mary, his mother.  He shall be great, shall be called the son of the highest. The Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father, David. That speaks of his humanity, his lineage. He came from David. The promises given to King David were fulfilled in him. But being raised from the dead speaks of his deity. That's something that the Apostle Paul had made clear in Romans chapter one. In Romans one, three and four, Paul said regarding his son, who as to his human nature was the descendant of David and through the spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the son of God by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord. So he is speaking to him concerning his humanity and deity and he's reminding him to keep this in mind because Jesus suffered. But Jesus suffered and was victorious in spite of what he went through in his resurrection, he demonstrated that there is something beyond this life. So Timothy, remember that Jesus suffered as a man, but remember that Jesus had victory over the grave and you're not to fear what you're experiencing because Timothy death does not have the final say. You need to remember that.   And the bottom line is his death doesn't have the victory. Therefore remember Jesus Christ died, he was buried but he was resurrected the third day. And he says, and this is a message that I've taught you. This is a message you're to be giving to other people. This is a message that is called the gospel and it's according to my gospel. You need to remember what I've taught you. This message has been entrusted to me and I've delivered it faithfully. And Timothy, it's being entrusted to you and you need to do the same. In 1 Corinthians 15, 3 and 4, he said, I delivered to you first of all that which I also received that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, that he was buried, that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. So this message that is so faithfully given out needs to be done so unaltered and unimproved because the consequences of changing this message are eternal and extreme. In Galatians 1-8, even if we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel to you, then what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. May he be eternally condemned. He said, this is the message you need to remember. What is going to keep you strong? A Jesus Christ died, but Jesus Christ was raised from the dead. You have hope not only in this life, but forever. And by the way, it's for this, verse 9, for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains. But the word of God is not chained. Paul is suffering hardship, including chains. He's in prison. And the reason he's suffering, I want you to notice, he said, I suffer trouble as an evildoer. The reason he's suffering is because of his faithful declaration of the gospel. That made him what is referred to as an evildoer. An evildoer during that day was another way of saying that he had broken the law. Paul, at that time, was in Rome. More than likely incarcerated in a prison called the Mamertine Prison. I visited that prison when in Rome many years ago. We went into the site that is traditionally the site of the cell that the apostle Paul was held in. The cell was carved out of rock. And the way the prisoner would be placed in the cell is he was actually lowered from a hole in the ceiling. It was 27 feet long. It was 20 feet wide. And it has been said that a more horrible place for the confinement of a human being can scarcely be conceived. And he's saying, I've been imprisoned for my testimony. It's not a surprise to me. I've known what this would cost me. I've known it from the beginning. When the apostle Paul got saved, he was on the road to Damascus. And the Lord Jesus Christ brought Paul to faith in him. And Paul was blinded. And he ended up going into a city where there was a man there awaiting him, a man by the name of Ananias. And the Lord had spoken to Ananias and said, Paul is going to come to you. And I want you to pray for him. And Ananias did something that a lot of believers do, tried to instruct the Lord concerning Paul. You know, God, you're busy with the universe. Perhaps you haven't noticed that this guy, Paul, is a dangerous man. He's threatening people, imprisoning people. You want to consider this and perhaps change your mind. And the Lord God speaks to Ananias. And the Lord said to him, it's found in Acts 9, 15, and 16. Go. This man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel. And God went on to say, I will show him how much he must suffer for my name. No, he's going to suffer for the things that he says. He's going to suffer for the gospel. I will show him these things. Paul knew it from the beginning. In Acts 21, 10, and 11, those verses speak of how Agabus said to Paul that he would be arrested, delivered to the Gentiles. And there were friends of Paul standing around. And the response of his friends was, they began to plead with him not to go to Jerusalem. But in Acts 21, 13, and 14, Paul answered, what do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I'm ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. So when he would not be persuaded, Luke says, we see saying the will of the Lord be done. Paul was prepared for what he went through. He was prepared for the enduring the suffering, the hostility, the cell. He was suffering unjustly, but he didn't complain about it. He encouraged Timothy. He said, be prepared. Be prepared to suffer for the gospel. And so he's embracing, he's saying, you need to embrace two things. And this, by the way, is what we as believers should embrace. Embrace these two things and you're not only survived, but you'll thrive, Timothy, if you do this. One, you need to realize that suffering is part of preaching the gospel. Don't run from it. Don't be ashamed of it. Don't avoid it. Just be prepared. Suffering is part of preaching the gospel. It's inevitable. It will come in one form. It will come in another. So be prepared. When you share the truth, you will be mocked. You'll be scorned, sometimes even physically attacked. That's going to happen. We have somebody who used to attend this fellowship years ago. This happened just a few months ago who was at a supermarket, who was in line.  And this guy who used to go here told them that their lifestyle was in a proper lifestyle and shared a little with them. This just happened. Shared with them. Told them it's wrong. They didn't like it. When he walked out of the store, a van pulled up, he was dragged into the van and beaten to death. That happened just within the last three or four months. There is a price you pay for telling the truth. Sometimes you don't hear about it. It was in the newspaper, but many didn't read it. I was informed of it because I had read it in the newspaper, and then someone wrote me and said he used to go here. He got right with the Lord in this ministry. Beaten to death for saying that's wrong. Don't be surprised when things happen because you believe in a way that the world doesn't. Suffering for the proclamation of what is true can cost. Matthew 10, 22, you will be hated by all for my name's sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved. Paul makes it very clear, and I want you to see this here in verse nine. He says, I suffer trouble as an evildoer even to the point of chains, but notice the word of God is not chained. I may be chained, but God's word isn't. God's word moves. Though the preacher may be bound, God's word never is. Paul is saying Rome can put me in a cell, but God's word continues going forth without me. God's word is not invested in a single organization. His word is not invested in a single movement, in a single church or a single man. A man can be put into prison, but God's word cannot be stopped. Again, we have a brother from our fellowship who had committed a crime and had not been caught. And several years ago, now we were having a men's retreat, and he was seated at the table with me, and he introduced himself and shared with me how he had committed a crime, and he was living under an alias. And I said, oh, and he said, yeah, he says that, he says, but the Holy Spirit had convicted me and told me that I can't be hiding anymore, that I have to be an honest man if I'm gonna follow the Lord and I'm listening to him. And he says, so as the Spirit of the Lord had told me that I need to deal with my crime, he said it was a serious crime. He says I was driving, I got pulled over. He said I had false idea that I would use. But this time he said I was under such great conviction that the Spirit of the Lord said, you need to give your proper name. He said which I did. He said the result has been that I'm gonna go to prison. This is back in 2010, and he went into prison. And so when he went into prison to do his time, he's gonna be in until 2020, for 10 years. When he went into prison to do his time, he stayed in contact with us and he has, and we as a church have been of help to him. I've sent him a lot of teaching tapes. Ministers from our fellowship have gone to minister alongside of him. And he's a chaplain now. He's actually acting out as a pastor in prison, in Taft. And so I asked him just this week, what's going on there? And can you give us some information? And so we received the information. He writes 55 to 60 men are attending the Spanish Chapel Services on Saturday. 85 to 95 men are attending the English Chapel Services on Sunday. 20 to 25 men attend the Spanish Yard Services every other day. 35 to 40 men attend studies in the English Yard. And five to 20 men are involved in dorm Bible studies with eight dorms and they're meeting daily. So the word of God, though he is bound, the word of God is not bound. God's word goes forth. And he's blessed in the Lord for that. That's his place of ministry. They call him pastor. He has an assistant pastor and God is using him in a wonderful way. And that's what he's saying. He came to faith in the Lord. He gave himself up. He was incarcerated, but the word of God is not bound. And that's something that Paul would speak about. Philippians chapter one in verses 12 and 13, he says, I want you to know brothers that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel as a result. It has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ. And so they would actually chain guards next to him to hold them. And he would have several hours with a guard, every guard that sat next to Paul got the gospel. Can you imagine what that would have been like? They go, oh no, you got to go in with Paul. And he'd say, hey, you want, and he would share with them. He says it went through the entire Praetorian Guard. They've heard the gospel of Jesus Christ. The word of God is not bound. And so he says in verse 10, I endure all things for the sake of the elect. Since God's word cannot be bound, I go through these trials and I do so with believers in mind. I want the unsaved to hear his word and I want the saved to preach it and to do so with courage. In Philippians once again in chapter one, verses 14 through 18, because of my chains, most of the brothers and the Lord have been encouraged to speak the word of God more courageously and fearlessly. It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of good will. The latter do so in love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached and because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice. I want the unsaved to hear his word and I want the saved to speak it with courage. And Timothy, you need to understand that. Notice in verse 10 how he says that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. My imprisonment is a small price to pay for their salvation and eternal glory. And he goes on in verse 11, this is a faithful saying, for if we died with him, we shall also live with him. If we endure, we shall also reign with him. If we deny him, he will also deny us. If we are faithless, he remains faithful. He cannot deny himself. Now these words that he says may be words to a hymn or it's part of what is called a confession of faith that would be repeated in church services. So what is it that moves him to remain steadfast and faithful? Well, he has hope in Christ. He understands that Jesus died on his behalf. When Jesus died on the cross, he took all of Paul's sins upon himself. When Paul placed his trust in Christ, he recognized that now he's made alive in Jesus Christ. I share this every time we have a baptism. I always teach out of Romans chapter six. In Romans chapter six verse one to verse four, Paul said it like this, what shall we say then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? God forbid, we died to sin. How can we live in it any longer? Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death. In order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. Don't you understand that? So I'll share this with the people. I'll say, listen, we're about to go into the water. You get into the pool and you're standing I'll share a few things with you. I'll say, I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And then you'll go down into the water. That is a picture of death and burial.  When you come out of that water, it is a picture of resurrection. Dead and buried but alive in Jesus Christ. We identify with that. There's just a finality in going under that water that is typified.  And that's what Paul is making it clear. He's saying, if we died with him, we shall also live with him. Jesus Christ, the Son of God who was raised in newness of life, has given us that life that we can live in him. In Galatians 2.20, I've been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. In Philippians 1.21, for to me to live is Christ and to die is gained. We died with him but we live with him. Verse 12, if we endure, we shall also reign with him. If we endure, a genuine Christian bears up against the sufferings for the sake of the Lord. Enduring hostility and enduring persecution, evidence is that you're born again. It shows that you're truly saved. You see, becoming a Christian begins with a decision but it extends over a lifetime. In Hebrews 3.14, we have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first. So enduring is going to result in our sharing in his glory and reigning with him. Our reigning with him speaks of the blessings that God is bestowing on his children. It's something he said in Romans 8.17, when he said, now if we are children, we are heirs, heirs of God, co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. All that Jesus has, we inherit in him. Think about that for a minute. All that he has, we inherit in him. You know, there's a guy in the United States, Bill Gates. He's got some money. And I couldn't imagine being his son, though I've asked him to adopt me more than once. But if Bill willed to do that, his children would inherit everything that he had. And they did nothing to earn it. They did nothing to earn it. It was on him, he did it. It's like that very wealthy man was asked a question. He said, they said to him, where did you get all your wealth? He said, where did I got my wealth? Well, he goes when I was eight years old.  Then when I got a little older, I began to sell lemonade in a lemonade stand and any money I got I began to put away. And when I got a little bit older and so finally the guy says to him, oh, so you worked your way up to your millions. And he says, oh no. He says, no, no, my dad died and left me millions of dollars. That's how I got it. So it wasn't anything he had done. It's what he had inherited. And for us, it's not what we have done. We are just entering into what was for him, for Jesus. And yet he shares it with us. In John 17, 22, it says, the glory you gave me, I have given them, that they may be won even as we are won. In Revelation 3, 21, to him who overcomes, oh, grant to sit with me on my throne as I also overcame and sat down with my father on his throne. We inherit that which belongs to him and he gives it to us. In verse 12, if we deny him, he also will deny us. The word deny means to refuse to acknowledge, to say I don't belong to him. If we say I don't belong to him, he'll say they don't belong to me. Because denying him reveals that we've never been saved. The faithless and unbeliever will have no share in the glories of the life to come. In Matthew 10, 32 and 33, whoever shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my father in heaven. Whoever denies me before men, him will I also deny before my father who is in heaven. Denial is a rejection of Christ, a complete final I want, nothing to do with him. I don't know him. I have no relationship with him. So if I refuse to acknowledge him as my own, he refuses to acknowledge me as his own. To deny Jesus is to reveal that I am faithless. I am untrue to my vow. Verse 13 says if we are faithless, he remains faithful. He cannot deny himself. It's more than mere unbelief. It's a complete rejection of all that Jesus is. In spite of this, he is faithful. Regardless of man's faithlessness. In Romans three, verses three and four, what if some did not have faith? Will there lack of faith nullify God's faithfulness? Not at all. Let God be true in every man a liar, as it is written so that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge. The person who is faithless is left without hope because God keeps his word. The word he has spoken is that without him, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. And he is faithful in what he has said, for life as well as for judgment. It's interesting how people will say, oh, you made a promise, therefore we'll keep it. He said that if I come to faith in him, that I'm born again and I have a place of inheritance and they say that, but there are others who don't believe that. The ones who just say it but don't act on it, they're just saying it. But for us who really believe that, I have rested my entire eternity on that, that Jesus Christ keeps his word. My whole eternity is built on that. He said it, therefore he'll do it. When my father died 17 years ago, and we were in the viewing room where the family was, my father's casket, there was body of my father in the casket, my mom and my Marie, my children, sisters and all. We were in that viewing room and we were seated there and I thought how interesting this is because the family was talking amongst ourselves and my father, my father, when we would gather together as family, my father was real quiet. He just would kind of sit back in a chair and he'd watch us as we visited and laughed and teased one another. And when he spoke, we all listened, but very often my dad just was a listener, not a speaker. So I thought how interesting it is, even at this time, it's normal. My father's there in the casket. Of course, I don't expect him to speak. If he did, I'd have run out of there so fast. I didn't expect it, but it was just so normal. But I got up and I walked up to the casket and I looked at my dad and he was wearing a suit which was so unlike and my father didn't wear suits very often and I'm looking at my father, but this came to mind. I believe the spirit of the Lord speaking to me and Joy Bayhark can say this next week on The View. But this came to my heart. Do you believe in the resurrection? That came to my heart. Do you believe in the resurrection? It was not just a thought, it was really, it had the strength of a question. It was a real question. Do you believe in the resurrection? Because if you don't, then how will you ever see your father again? And I remember looking into the face of my father and I said, yes, Lord, I believe I will see him again. He's with you in heaven. He's beholding your glory. And one of these days, I'll see him again. That's the word of the Lord.   That's what I have stake my eternity on, where he is, I will be, I will not deny the Lord. That's what he's teaching us here. These are the things that matter. And so as he is sharing this, even if we are faithless, he remains faithful, he cannot deny himself. Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord, not to strive about words to no prophet, to the ruin of the hearers. Continually remind the ministers and the congregation of the essentials of the gospel. Remind them to speak God's truth to others, to fight, work diligently, order them, not to engage in useless arguments that do not profit, but actually ruin people. We need to be reminded of the essentials continually because it's easy for us to forget. There are times people may say, I already know that, I've already heard that. How many times do I have to hear that? Well, we need to have things repeated over and over because what they do is they settle in, they become who we are, they become the filters, the discernment that we have comes from the word of God settling in, the lessons repeated over and over and over to our hearts so that when somebody speaks to you and they're giving to you something that's not true, the Holy Spirit will use the information that He's given to you and the Holy Spirit will awaken you to discernment and you'll say, that's not true because today there are numbers of people, numbers of people that are on television and they're saying things that are not true and yet thousands of people go to listen, thousands of people contribute their finances, thousands of people take trips with them. I just got an invitation by a guy who teaches false doctrine and he asked me if I wanted to go with him, it's not because it's me, it's because it's a general mailer but he says, come with us to Israel and they're gonna go for a shorter period of time than we are and they're charging $800, $900 more than our people are paying and I think this guy's making money, hand over fist and this kind of thing, hundreds of dollars per person, almost $1,000 per person he's gonna make and that's what they do and the guy's not teaching the truth and people will sign up and they'll go with them, they'll give money to their ministries and then they get mad at people like me when I say watch out for these people, they're charlatans, they're not telling you the truth and they'll say, oh, you're judgmental, you're jealous of that first, why would I be jealous of him? What's he got that I have desire for? Are you kidding me? But that's how people think I'm telling you and oh, I need deeper truth, really you can never go deeper than foundations, never, you have foundations and you have discernment and you're able to say that's not true, that's not true, no, I was reading in the Bible, it says this, Paul, rather Peter and second Peter chapter one verses 12 and 13 said it like this, he said, I will always remind you of these things even though you know them and I firmly established in the truth you now have, I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body, I will remind you faithfully of the things that matter so that your life is built on a solid rock, we need to know these things so they're not ripped, we're not ripped off, he said charging them before the Lord not to strive about words, in other words, don't be argumentative with unbelievers and don't be argumentative with a believer in front of unbelievers, when you're arguing, nothing is accomplished, nothing is settled and the unbeliever that's watching two Christians argue over minutiae and scripture just thinks that you're both wrong. So what do you do?  That's why I do this. That's why. Oh, I've already heard that or maybe you need to hear it again and we need to hear it and we need to hear it until it's not only something we know but it becomes something we are and that's what Bible teaching that is received by faith is intended to do.


Hello and welcome to the session in which we will discuss a cloud base system or cloud computing. So what is cloud computing? It's a type of computing in which resources such as software, storage, and processing power are provided over the internet through a network of remote servers. Now why is it called cloud? Well, think of this picture, you have your computer here, you have the user here. However, the software is not installed on this computer. The software is someplace in the cloud. So how would the user use the software? Well, they will have access to it through a network, software, storage, processing power, everything lives in the cloud. So the user, think of it, you are working in your office and you only have a monitor and somehow an internet connection, but you don't have the database there, you don't have the software, you don't have the storage. It's on a server somewhere in the cloud and you have access to them. This system sometime called the cloud, cloud computing, cloud storage, and cloud services, it all means the same thing. Simply put, allowing users to access these resources without having them installed on their own devices. So the software itself, you could be using Office 365, but it's not installed, you have access to it. You could be using Excel, Microsoft Office. So on and so forth, they're not installed, you have access to them. Now cloud-based system are often categorized or used under three categories. Software as a service or SaaS, platform as a service or pass applications, three infrastructure as a service or IAAS. What I'm going to do next is going over each one of those separately because you need to know what type of a cloud-based system do we have, what are the most common one. And they can all be categorized under these three umbrellas. Before we proceed any further, I have a public announcement about my company, farhatlectures.com. Farhat Accounting Lectures is a supplemental educational tool that's going to help you with your CPA exam preparation as well as your accounting courses. My CPA material is aligned with your CPA review course, such as Becker, Roger, Wiley, Gleam, Miles. My accounting courses are aligned with your accounting courses, broken down by chapter and topics. My resources consist of lectures, multiple choice questions, true-false questions, as well as exercises. Go ahead, start your free trial today. No obligation, no credit card required. Starting with software as a service, and I started with this one because this is the one that you should be able to relate to as a user. You are all using a SaaS software as a service without even knowing. Maybe knowing, maybe not knowing, but you're going to know shortly what does that mean. So SaaS is a form of a cloud computing. Well, this type of cloud computing provides access to software application over the internet. Well, what am I talking about? Think of Google documents. If you use Google documents or Google Excel or Google PowerPoint, this is exactly what you are doing. Even when you're using the regular Word document or the regular Excel or whatever you call it, what I mean by regular, I mean Microsoft, you no longer install them. And I can tell you from my own experience, back in the old days, and that's not a long time ago, maybe 20, 25 years ago, maybe longer than 25, I don't remember exactly. To have Windows or to have Word or Excel, you needed to have a disk, a hardware disk. And every computer came with a CD-ROM where you will insert the disk into the computer to download the software. You needed space on your computer to run the software. And at some point, I was browsing and best by the laptops and I saw no CD-ROMs. And I asked the clerk, where's the CD-ROM? I was like, we no longer offer CD-ROMs at the laptop. And this was my first introduction because I had an old laptop. And I was like, how come these don't have a CD-ROM? So the software now resides in the cloud. You access the software through the cloud. So example of SASs include email, customer relationship management, CRM, which will have separate recording about this. We could have HR software, many, many examples. Usually those resources are subscription-based. So you pay a monthly fee for them. You don't have to install them on your own device. It means your device don't need the space. You have less, you have more space for something else if you'd like to. Like games, for example, right? No need to buy them. There is no investment. But you need to have access to them, you rent them. So rent is usually cheaper than buying. And it's really, always when you have to choose between buying and renting over all outs, you always buy. But for those type of things, it's better to rent. Why? Because you can rent them for a year or two for the fraction of the cost. Then the software becomes old and you need a new software. You can rent it again for the fraction of a cost. But always my philosophy between buying and renting always buy, but not in this situation. And you always have access to updates and the latest technology. So you don't have to sit down. I remember back in the old days, I know I keep saying this. Every time Microsoft will have an update, I will have to update my computer so the software is updated. That's no longer the case. You access it through the server and the server is updated. And those type of software as a service, SaaS systems, they can be good for a startup business, one person, or well-established businesses no matter what the size is. And some common examples that I just mentioned, Google Document, which is Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, certain CRMs like Salesforce and HubSpot, HR software such as Zenfit and ADP, other project management software, email marketing like MailChimp and Constant Contact, and accounting software such as QuickBooks. I do use QuickBooks and the cloud myself. So my software, it's not installed on my computer, but I have access to it in the cloud. The second platform that we're gonna be discussing, actually it's called the platform as a service, PSS application, and this type of a cloud computing provide a platform for developers. Now, when we say developers, unless you are a developer, it means you develop software, it's not you and I who are users.  Simply put, if you work for a company, they want to create a new application, a new website for their business. So what this P-A-S-S does, it gives them the platform to do that. It includes to the tools, the databases, and other resources needed to create and run the application. So what they offer usually is sets of tools and framework that developer can utilize to create and run the application. And the P-A-S-S provider like Google App Engine takes care of the underlying infrastructure such as servers, storage, and networking allow developer to do what, develop, focus on what you are doing, which is developing the application. An example of these are Heroku, AWS, Google App Engine, Azure, which is Microsoft. So what it allows, it allows for faster development and deployment as developer can focus only on writing the code because they do have the sandbox where they need to do it. Basically, I'm saying I'm referring to the sandbox of the P-A-S-S, in other words, they are giving the tools and the field to do it rather than dealing with the infrastructure and deployment tasks. Many past services also offer scalability and high availability. All these cloud, they use the word scalability. I'm gonna use it here, I'm gonna use it in the next platform. Well, what does scalability means? It means that the platform can automatically scale up or scale down. So if you need more resources, they can give you. If your business grew. Well, if your business also shrunk, you can downgrade as well depending on the load and it can ensure that the application is always available. That's the beauty thing about cloud and the most important, as I mentioned, it's cost effective. Then we have something called the I-A-A-S or infrastructure as a service. Well, this type of cloud basing provide access to infrastructure resources, such as virtualize computing resources, storage and networking also over the internet. Simply put, you virtually have a version of the traditional on-premise infrastructure, but it's owned and operated by someone else, by a third party. Well-known names Amazon and Google, they do this. The provider, which is such as Amazon or Google, is responsible for the underlying hardware. So you don't buy the hardware. You use their hardware, they give you access to it. While the customer is responsible for operating the system, middleware and application that run on top of it. So that's important that they give you the infrastructure, the hardware, but you run your own software. Big examples, again, Amazon, AWS services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud. Notice all those big tech companies are involved in the cloud. And that's relatively a new business, relatively a new business, still fairly a new business. Digital Ocean as well. Notice the word ocean is big because you want to have a lot of things into the cloud. More about the infrastructure as a service. What can we say? It can provide organization with the flexibility again to scale their infrastructure up or down as needed, depending on the number of users and the amount of data being processed. That's the good thing. So this makes this type of service cost effective, just like all the other services, then traditional on-premise solution. Think about rather than installing the hardware, having, you need the space, you need to maintain it. You don't have to worry about any of this. You can rent it online. As organization only pay for the resources that they use. And usually they provide a wide range of option and configuration because AWS and Google Cloud, that's their specialty, including different types of virtual machines, storage option and networking capabilities. So you don't have to study any of this. It's provided to you again at a fraction of a cost compared to if you want to install this yourself on-premise and own it yourself, which it could become absolute three to five years. Why do it? And this allows organization to tailor their infrastructure to their specific needs and requirement. Also, AIAS provide various management that automate automation tools, which can help to reduce the operation overhead and improve the efficiency of IT teams. And that's the whole purpose of using the cloud is it's cost effective. It's more efficient for you and your IT team. So you don't need a huge IT team, maybe one or two person. Now it's important to note, I mentioned this that the IAAS does not include the software and the application. It provides the hardware that run on top of it. That for that you will need either an SAS or PAAS, but it provides the foundational layers like the servers, the storage networking, which needed to run those applications. So make sure IAAS don't include software, don't include application. Now what should you do now? Go to Farhat Lectures and look at MCQs to help you understand these topics. We're not done with cloud computing yet. We're gonna have maybe one or two more session about the cloud computing. The cloud computing is the future and that's why it's tested on the CPA exam, on the CMA exam, on CISA and any accounting information system course. Invest in yourself and invest in your career.  Good luck, study hard and always stay up to date on technology.


Live from Las Vegas, it's theCUBE, covering Veritas Vision 2017, brought to you by Veritas. And we're back at Veritas Vision 2017 in Las Vegas. This is theCUBE, the leader in live tech coverage. My name is Dave Vellante, and I'm here with my co-host, Stuart Minimano. We've been unpacking the innovations and the evolution of Veritas at Veritas Vision over the past two days. Shaheen Pirouz is here, he's the CTO of DataEndure. Thank you for having us. Welcome to theCUBE, thanks for coming on. Digitally resilient, that's an interesting and powerful and loaded phrase. What does it mean to be digitally resilient? Ultimately, we're trying to get our customers digital resilience, and what that means to us is that your people have access to their data whenever they need it, wherever they need it in a secure and protected manner. So, I got a follow-up on that, but before I do, let's give us an overview of your company, what you guys do, and what your specialty is. We're a system integrator, and we happen to resell stuff as well, including Veritas, and we're about 32 years old. We evolved from very early days in the tech space and continue to evolve the company, and today have four practice areas. Those practice areas include security and compliance, data center and cloud, the information management practice, which is where Veritas squarely falls into, and finally we have a systems and storage practice, which is primarily one of our biggest practice areas in terms of revenue. We have, go ahead.  We have customers, all of the biggest names you'd imagine in the Silicon Valley, Cisco, Facebook, Yahoo, Google, and then a series of customers below that tier as well.  Yep, we, Centrelink is the largest Veritas net backup appliance deployment in the world, and we implemented that platform for them. So, yeah. Interesting. You've got these heavy engineering driven companies, and they just, what? They just don't want to waste time on stuff that's not their main business, or? So, typically it's like any IT organization. You've got a series of projects, and those projects are spread out across the engineers that you have, and then you have something you have to get done that's more urgent, more critical. You've got to revamp your backup infrastructure, for example, or you got to build out a new backup as a service offering in Centrelink's case, and your, while the engineers have the skillset to do it, they're also doing 60 other things during the day. So they bring companies like us in to get it done quickly, get it done accurately, and then there's a level of reliance on not only our technical depth, but the access to visibility of what we see in other places as well. Whereas your engineers might be focused on a single thing within a company. We see a lot of different environments, and so when we run into problems, it's not the first time we run into it, and we can get through it much more quickly. So this idea of digital resilience is really interesting to me. They say you should skate to the puck. I think you're really skating to the puck, as most customers haven't transformed digitally, even though everybody's talking about it, but this is what I said. It's really a rich and sort of loaded phrase. What I'm inferring from it is, if you're going to go digital, you better not bolt on resilience. You better design it in. I mean, that's sort of my inference, but talk about that a little bit. That's exactly right. Yeah, typically there's, we look at the consumption, and cloud is a big part of this journey, for both Fairtoss and ourselves, and we look at cloud consumption as a journey that happens in five phases, or maturity levels, as we like to call them. So the cloud maturity model that I talk about often is, level one is usually companies that start consuming backup to the cloud. So the first step is we're going to back up our data to a cloud target and remove tape from our environment. Second step is consumption of storage. Then you start moving some virtual machines, doing lift and shifts to the cloud at level three, and level four is when that digital transformation starts to happen, where you're starting to build, consume cloud native databases instead of just migrating your database to the cloud. And then level five is typically the startups of the world which are building cloud native applications, and companies will eventually get to the point where they're building those cloud native applications. So, go ahead. It's an interesting model. Cloud's getting more and more complicated. And we said some of those companies that started up out, cloud native, everything built there, sometimes they're pulling things to another cloud or building their own data centers. We're finding the hyperscale companies looking to sound a little bit more like some of the enterprise vendors and some of the enterprise vendors are going there and you've got companies like Veritas that are going to play everywhere.  What is some of the dynamics you're seeing with the customers and clouds? So it's a simple scale calculation, right? There's a point, there's a tipping point where cloud becomes too expensive and it's cheaper to have some fraction of your infrastructure running in-house. So it's that hybrid cloud model we've been talking about for the last decade and nobody really has a good handle on what it is. It's run some of the cloud in-house, some of it in a public or multiple public clouds. And what you're seeing in the Netflixes of the world who went all in and then back out is exactly that. They got to a point where they realized the amount of money that they're paying on a monthly basis to the public cloud providers is outpacing what they could do themselves internally. And so they cut back to that tipping point. There is definitely sense in having infrastructure in the cloud, but there is that point where it doesn't scale that we're very well financially. Do you have any guidance that you can give people as to when they're going to hit that? I mean, we look at everything, you know, you talk to Amazon, they'll say, no, no, we're always the cheapest, we can use reserved entities. Heck, they just gave by the second pricing.  It really isn't, it depends. But the short answer is that that tipping point is different for every single company.  You can be all cloud and you can be cloud native and be happy. Whereas if you're, you know, a Dropbox or a Netflix or somebody like that who built all in or Workday, for example, all of them are now looking at we need to build our own infrastructure to support that scale that can't keep up with us financially. So, I wonder if you could talk about some of the big picture, we touched on cloud. What are the big picture trends that you see driving customer behavior and how is it affecting their IT and how are you responding? So there's, I would say that there's two primary things that we're focused on to help customers address what is coming. Number one is compliance. So our security and compliance practice, we lead with compliance as opposed to all the others managed security providers. We effectively go to market with this notion that no matter who you are, you have some sort of regulatory concern, whether it's enforced by yourself or you have a third party or a government that's enforcing some regulatory concern on you. And there's not a company out there that doesn't have something that they have to deal with on a regular basis. And our positioning is get your head around your compliance and that dictates what your infrastructure looks like, what your application consumption looks like, what your cloud consumption looks like. But you have to start from that place of here is how we have to deliver services and here's the controls we have to have in place. And then do we have the right tools, technologies, people and policies to do that? And that's our approach to market. So that's one side of the answer. The other side of the answer is storage is continuously growing in leaps and bounds and we have this ridiculous amount of data that's stockpiling, we're all hoarders of storage, if you will, and we don't know what to do with it. We're running out of storage places, we're throwing it in Amazon, we're throwing it in Google, we're throwing it all these places and just paying monthly storage fees. And that data is critical business data that if you can get and analyze it, you can make important business decisions about what your customers are doing, how they're buying things, what products they're buying, what products they're not selling and make fundamental business shifts and changes. And all you have to do is put a layer of analytics above this massive hordes of data that we're just continuing to pile and pile. So where does Veritas fit in to this equation? In all of that. So the 360 offering that Veritas has brought to market, a big part of that is compliance. So if you look at the messaging around GDPR, that's just one compliance that they're focusing on but that applies across the board. Having visibility into all your data with their data insight platform, for example, who's accessing it, where they're accessing it, what types of data it is, the classification of data, that's the first level of being able to understand your unstructured data and know, does it meet all the controls that I have to adhere to in order to deliver health information controls or personal information controls, whatever your industry control might be. So whether it's PCI or GDPR or HIPAA, you name it, it gives you apply the compliance onto the data and have reports that let you know if you're in compliance or not.  So not only what but where is it and who's accessing it. So it's giving you all that visibility to try to get a handle on what it is, where it is and what valuable information is in there. And so you're bringing this to market today. We do. Okay, I mean, you got some pretty advanced customers. Do you feel like you're on sort of the leading edge of the bell curve or? So we have customers that are on the leading edge of that bell curve and we have customers that are starting that journey. They're starting to realize GDPR is a perfect example. Not everybody's sure what it's going to mean to them. It's like when HIPAA and PCI came out way back when, everybody was like, that's not my problem and now everybody has to deal with it. So I had many hospitals back then who wouldn't do anything, wouldn't do anything. And then the fines came and they're like, okay, hurry, let's do something. And so similarly, the compliance aspect of this, we're seeing a lot more traction on because GDPR is only about six months away. I mean, it's a two-sided coin, right? Because on the one hand, it's this sort of boondoggle for all the guys who can, you know, service those accounts. But on the other hand, it takes dollars away potentially from other more strategic initiatives.  But so what's your thought on GDPR? Is it as big as these other initiatives? It feels that way, but we don't really know yet, right? So the risk where GDPR is different than all the other regulatory concerns is that any individual in any of the European Union can come and say, I want you to delete all the information you have about me. And you have to. So not just- You have to prove it. Yeah, I have to prove that you did it. You don't have any of it. And so the control structures are making it difficult for companies to say, how am I going to do this? And that's where products like the 360 solution that Veritas is bringing to market help give visibility into the data. And so you know, okay, I see Joe Smith across my own structured data. I see it in these file servers in this place and the other place. And so you have visibility into where Joe Smith is and can take action to actually delete the data and then show that it's not there anymore with audits. So it could be very real whether it's going to kick in and go live in July as it's supposed to or they're going to continue to extend it as they did with HIPAA and PCI. It's unclear at this point. Yeah, so talk about that a little bit. Is that sort of what happened with HIPAA and PCI? But that was the US government. Yeah. It wasn't the EU. So again, we don't really know. I mean, you've seen some of the crackdowns by the EU and Google and others. And so maybe they won't be as forgiving. Who knows? They may not be as forgiving and I think it'll get dialed in a little bit more. I think when it comes out and they realize the expense in trying to do this is going to hamper business. I think it'll get dialed back a little bit and not that you have to delete the data, for example, but you have to prove that you have it controlled and secured and somebody can't get to it. I mean, do you think that's really ultimately what it's going to be is the processes around it that's going to be as important as everything else? At the end of the day, all any of these audits and regulatory concerns can do is tell you you have to have these processes. That's the best they can go hope for. So it really is nothing more than a process conversation. But process without technology can be really burdensome and expensive on a company. Yeah, because of the risk is that you say, okay, we've got these processes in place. Yes, we did it. Here's the information. And then if you get hacked and there's Joe Smith is still in there. Oops. And then that somehow gets published on WikiLeaks. Right. Yeah, right, Ro, exactly. So Shaheen, as an industry, we've been talking for a while about how important data is, how we can leverage data. When we're talking GDPR, it's like, well, your data can be dangerous for you. Where are your customers? How do they actually, do they value data? Is data still a challenge for them? Or maybe give us a little bit of the spectrum of where you're seeing customers. It's a wide range. We've got customers that are in the research space and they're doing, for example, genomics research and their data is everything to them. We've got customers in the semiconductor space and they're building chips and their designs and their information about how each chip design is improving from version to version. All that data is important to them and when they go back to do new chip designs, they have to be able to look back at that data and they do a lot of analytics. But then there's industries that just keep the data because they think it's going to be important and they don't use it. They don't take advantage of it and they don't realize the risk associated with it either. It's the number one thing I've been a CISO for over 15 years and the one thing I used to say to customers is if you're going to keep your data, if you have a policy for data retention, make sure that it's not longer and creates an exposure for you than it needs to be. Because keeping data too long can be, because you have to present it if you're in a litigation and so that's the challenge with these piles of data we keep keeping. And so the reality is customers are all the way to the extreme of using it heavily and deep analytics to I have no idea what I have, I just have piles of data. Kind of the variation on the Einstein quip, keep data as long as you need to but no longer. Exactly. All right, sheen, we have to go. Thanks very much for coming on theCUBE. Appreciate it. My pleasure. All right, we're in a rapid sprint to the end of day two here at Veritas Vision 2017. We'll be right back. This is theCUBE.


I'm Drew with Geoalarm, and I am back to talk to you about mounting the Geoalarm system using the back plate. As you can see, our technician Sal here has already gotten started marking the holes, but he's going to show you how he came to that conclusion here. Obviously, you want to level this thing out. Make sure that it's perfectly even and sitting nice for you before you make the marks. Here he's pre-making the holes so that he can get the anchors in place. As soon as he gets this first hole set, this is how you get the anchors fit. You want to kind of slow make a hole using it. As you can see now, all of the holes are set, and the anchors are recommended to be used. That way your panel is firm. So the anchors are set here. Insert the mounting screws and level this out one more time to make sure it's good, and voila, good to go.

Now let's talk about the first three units of this course and how their contents and themes tie together. In unit one you're going to learn about the communication process and how your traits and the traits of your audience can influence that process. It's important while going through all of this course to consider three main concepts. The communication process, the message that represents the communication, and the audience that you are targeting by your communication. First it's important that you understand the communication process. If you do not understand this process you may be unable to anticipate factors that can block effective communication. By understanding the communication process you will be able to analyze a situation and control or compensate for factors that you know could result in poor communication. It is also important to learn how to present the message that is central to your communication and that is what unit two is all about. Examining the relationship between language, messages, and communication. You will learn that there are three types of messages primary, secondary, and auxiliary. These distinctions are based on whether the message was communicated intentionally or unintentionally. You also learn about the five parts of a message. The attention statement, the introduction, the body, the conclusion, and the residual message. An effective communicator knows the options that are available to them so that they can choose the best option given the business context. By the end of this course you'll be able to do just that. Unit three is all about audience, the people you want to influence with your message. You will learn that your own personal traits and the traits of your audience are very important. You'll also learn what perception is and how it can affect the way your audience receives your message. The key point in unit three is that you must know your audience so that you can tailor messages to suit their needs and expectations. As an effective communicator you'll want to research your audience to ensure that your message reaches them, is understood, and produces the desired response. This all may seem fairly abstract right now, but as you work through this course you will build the knowledge and confidence to make you an effective business communicator. Good luck.


After what has felt like a lifetime, the reunion we've all been waiting for has finally arrived. Get your gym, tan and laundry on because it's t-shirt time and the cabs are here. Paulie, DJ, Will, Snooki, The Situation, Ronnie, Vinny and Dina are back and this time the Guido's are bringing a little roommate action to Miami. Here's what happened when the most important housemate returns to the house. And then Nicole decided to steal something from the house. Because I'm a criminal. Yep. Facts. Why don't you show them? You cannot have a choosy short house without the duck phone. Do you miss him? I do. I'm just relieved that Nicole's not the only one in the house with duck phone lips. It's a duck, guys. It's a duck. Zane has finally stopped talking to his pillow and is back on the ground after one day. It may have been speculated that his recent insta-clear out was due to his split with Gigi Hadid. But in fact, is there new music on the way? Judging from his only post which arrives Saturday night, it looks like Zane 2.0. The long-awaited action movie will be coming to your devices on the 12th of April. Because literally that was the only thing clear about this post. The cliffhanger date at the end has fans getting, but despite the clarity, even with the angry actors, macho fight scene and some dramatic nouns, Z fans are so ready. Leaving Instagram and returning before the sound of music is a very swift, tailor-swift that is. Thing to do. But hey, it's best to take precautions so that the new stuff gets the attention that it deserves. As if the leap track in March and your own website crashing isn't enough, let's just hope April's better to use it. There's now a royal wedding plate commemorating Meghan Markle's wedding to Ed Sheeran. Wait, what? Move over, Prince Harry. There's a new ship in town. Yep, a royal wedding plate just surfaced on Etsy to celebrate the marriage of Meghan Markle, not to Prince Harry, but to another British ginger, Ed Sheeran. We don't all look the same, okay? Whether you choose to eat your toast in Marmite, Harry's favourite snack from it, or hang it on your wall, this plate won't fail to raise a smile and evoke pride in our country's most cherished couple. You had it here first, forget Heggen, it's all about med, no, mirroring, I forget it. If Ed ends up playing the wedding on May 19th, he has to get the couple this as a wedding gift. Khloe Kardashian might be giving Bay Tristan Thompson a few slaps on the wrist after his recent antics. Videos have just surfaced of the NBA star allegedly cheating on Khloe whilst away in Manhattan with his basketball team. He was seen kissing a mystery woman in a club and heading off to his hotel with her. Witnesses told Page Six that Thompson was seen looking around cautiously whilst holding the door open for her before they entered the hotel lobby. It's been reported that the pair spent about four hours in the hotel before leaving together in a black SUV. Hours after this story broke, another video had been published by TMZ, showing Tristan in a club kissing and frolicking with two different women back in October when Khloe was just three months pregnant. By the looks of things, he was having a lot of fun, so much so that he forgot there were cameras in a nightclub. Khloe Grace Moretz has just confirmed her split with Brooklyn Beckham. The 21-year-old was spotted heading inside a movie theater and she wasn't wearing her ring with Brooklyn's initials on it. Brooklyn was recently seen with Playboy model Lexi Woods smooching her face off, so that's probably why. He also used the wear a ring on his left ring finger with Khloe's initials on it. But that could quite possibly be in the bin now. Time for your daily Khloe Kardashian update. Following the allegations that her partner Tristan Thompson had cheated on her, it's rumoured that Khloe is going to stay with them and work on rebuilding their relationship. A source told People magazine, she's a hopeless romantic and she'll try to make this work. She tried forever to make it work with Lamar. She's having a child with Tristan and she's going to try and rebuild this. Meanwhile, Tristan isn't fearing so well. When the basketball player got off the bench to join his teammates in a game against the New York Knicks, he got booed in his hometown, Long. Finally, Lamar Oden, Khloe's ex, you know, the one who also cheated on her, apparently feels terrible for Khloe, how very big of him. Bella Thorna's revealed that she gets paid $65,000 for a single Instagram post. That's right, with a well-lit single selfie of a sultry smile, she makes more than the majority of people would make in about three years. In a new documentary about her life from Vogue, she says, for grid posting, it's $65,000 a post. She adds, for story posting, it's anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000. And for Snapchat, it is the same as Insta Story. This is how she could afford a $2 million mansion with six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a pool and a massive backyard, which I guess makes total sense. Like, it's really an investment in her career. Everyone knows you can't post Instagrams with the same background points. Gotta keep those $17.3 million Instagram followers happy.


Oh boy! So here we go again. Hello people of the internet! My name is Johnny and welcome back to another FNAF 2020 leak video. Unfortunately, there's been another leak. This time it's of the characters themselves. We now know exactly what three of the main cast look like. I did not put them in the thumbnail. I haven't made the thumbnail yet as of recording this video, but I'm 100% not putting the designs in the thumbnail. I know that it absolutely sucks to get a spoiler when you don't want to get a spoiler, which is why I'm letting you guys know right now the reason why the designs are not in the thumbnail is because I know there are some people that don't want these spoilers. And if they log on to YouTube and they see a thumbnail with the newly designed characters in it, they're going to feel really sad and really mad that the newly designed characters got spoiled for them in a very, very important upcoming FNAF game. I'm probably just going to use some teasers or something like that. I might do what I did with the previous thumbnail where it's just the group teaser with some text on it because I don't want you guys to get spoiled unless you 100% are fine with it. So this is my warning right here. This is a spoiler video. I am going to show the characters. If you don't want to see their designs just yet, wait till the game is released and you can see them in game. Anyways, here we go. So like I just said, the designs for the new characters in the FNAF 2020 game have been leaked. They have been revealed through trends of all people. It seems like this game is getting quite a bit of merchandise. Last time we had the Funko with the action figures and the mystery minis and the plushies and all that and today we have a trends calendar. This is a FNAF 6 trends calendar. It's for 2020. I have it on my wall right there. We are getting a 2021 calendar of the FNAF 2020 characters and that got leaked out and that's how we know exactly what they look like. So let's take a look at these new characters. Why don't we? So this is the cover for the calendar. As you can see we have three of the characters on there. We have Monty, Freddy and Roxanne and their designs look honestly really dope. These look absolutely amazing. They're like if you took the Rockstar animatronics and just gave them a 2.0 version. I love the face paint on Freddy. I think it looks absolutely amazing and overall I just love these characters and designs. So it seems like we were right about Freddy being the lead singer Monty having a guitar and it looks like Roxanne has a piano slash guitar instrument. I have no clue what that thing is called. Of course it has the FNAF logo and it also has that like 80s vibe to it for the background. It's got the the neon squares and stuff like that. You guys know what I'm talking about. I suck at explaining this but something else you guys may have noticed is that there's actually text that says subject to change. So this is not the official finished product of the cover for the calendar. I will say it is weird that Freddy has fangs. It looks less like a bear and more like some sort of lion tiger leopard creature. Monty as we already know. He's green. He's got purple secondary colors on him. He's got the star glasses which look absolutely incredible and he's got a red mohawk going down his head. Bonnie mentioned Freddy's face paint but he also has a ear piercing which is interesting on his left ear and it seems like red is going to be his secondary color and then we have Roxanne which is kind of all over the place with colors. She's kind of this light gray slash kind of blue hue to her I guess. She also has an ear piercing and it seems like green and red are her secondary colors and again it is worth mentioning that Roxanne is actually a wolf and not a fox like Foxy. We don't actually see Glamrock Chica on this cover which is odd when you think about it because for the rock stars we had all four of their characters but for this calendar it seems like we're only getting three. So yeah these designs look really good. I'm not joking these look really good and I can't wait to see what they look like in game because this is only artwork. Something that's really sad is that the publication date for this calendar is July 1st 2019 which means Steelwall has been working on this for almost nearly a full year and now they just have so many information on their work just being leaked out with no official reveals. It's just leaks and that's really upsetting when you think about it. Now something I did not know was going to happen is that Scott actually made an official post about these leaks and he doesn't seem too happy about it. I'll give a quick read it's pretty recent I'll be honest it's only 49 minutes ago as of the recording of this video so here we go he says the leaks and then a little angry emoji con. So I woke up to a barrage of upsetting emails. For this fanbase the day a major corporation spoiled the next major release of the FNAF franchise was the most important day of their lives but for me it was Friday. But seriously this is obviously very frustrating for me but not that surprising anymore. It's just another day in the life of FNAF. It makes me really miss the days of just making everything myself and handling everything myself because at least then I had someone I could trust and even then sometimes I let myself down by spoiling something. I'm sorry to everyone though. This isn't the way I wanted to introduce the characters. I wish they at least used the finished artwork or even the finished concept art. Instead they uploaded a low res desaturated compressed watermarked thumbnail of concept art that they photoshopped together themselves. Obviously I'm disappointed but trust me when I say that Steelwall is on top of things. The game itself is looking amazing by the way PizzaPlex is not the name of the game. So it is official right there. The name of the game is not FNAF Peepee.  As you can tell from the ways he's awarded this post he's not all too happy. In fact he straight up says that he's disappointed and that it wasn't the way he wanted to introduce the characters at all. And it does seem like the cover calendar is not a finished product. As Scott said it's only a concept art of something that they photoshopped together themselves. So that basically confirms that I don't think these are the exact models. Maybe they're going to be tweaked a bit. At the very least that's not the official cover for the poster. I mean not the poster the calendar. I've said that so many times this recording. The game itself is looking amazing. That fills me with a lot of happiness. I'll be honest. I'm really really happy that the game is coming along great. Something I should have mentioned is that the calendar has a release date of July 15th 2020 and that is only a couple months away. So as for the release date of the game I'm not entirely sure because I feel like if it was still kind of in early development Scott would have said the game itself is looking amazing so far. But the fact that it the fact that he just said the game itself is looking amazing it still sounds like it's in development. It still sounds like they're working on it. So I'm not sure at the very least I think we can expect a trailer in the upcoming months. As for the official release date of the game I'm still banking on quarter three maybe quarter two late quarter two this year but I'm not entirely sure. Also if pizza plex is not the name of the game I'm guessing then it's just straight up the name of the mall. I should read the description for the calendar actually. Let me let me do that. It says life is sure to take you on quite the adventurous ride with this five minutes at Freddy's wall calendar filled with your favorite characters from the smash hit video game series. Never take your eye off the prize 16 month wall calendars include each month in 2021 as well as the last four months of 2020 and are printed on paper certified by the forest stewardship council. I don't know who those people are. I'm guessing they're in real life corporation. The last four months of 2020 with a release date of July 15th 2020 yeah so I think a late quarter two to quarter three of this year release date does sound pretty correct in my opinion um considering the fact that we still okay guys think about this with all these leaks going around people are thinking that the game is going to be released within the next few months and well I don't think that is unlikely. I don't think it's impossible but I don't think it will because when you think about it we've only had a couple of teasers we have not had a trailer yet steel wool studios themselves have not said anything about this which could go either way maybe they're not saying anything about it because it's going to be released soon so all this information people are gonna know anyways or they're not saying anything because they don't want to give away anything because they're still working on it and I think that's basically everything we have to look at regarding the FNAF 2020 characters designs. I do have a little bit more information I want to touch upon because I feel like some people may have missed it but we do have some more news on other projects. I'll go by these super quick because they are not related to the 2020 game so I'm not sure how dedicated to this information you guys are. We got confirmation from click team that the ultimate custom night mobile port is coming quote fairly soon what that means I got no clue but they did say that it's in the final testing stages so we can expect it fairly soon. The collection of the fazbear freight books is official and it is available on September 1st of 2020. I've made two community posts about those and even though I have shown the pictures up on screen links will of course be provided in the description so if you want to get more information on that feel free to go in the description and check those out. Last but not least I want to make a few corrections from last video just provide a bit more information. Number one Roxanne is of course either a reference or is the character from that fronting space 2 teaser that we got a couple months ago. Most of this information is from Kane Carter the creator of the pop girls fan game and he made a great twitter post which I will link down below if you guys want to check it out. I'm just going to quickly skim through it because it is quite a bit of information so apparently the plex in pizza plex is short for complex which is like a big building slash mall so I think pizza plex will be the name of the mall. Going back to the chart from last episode we have ASST which is apparently short for assorted Kane says that this term is used for merchandise that can that consists of multiple designs slash models both the same price tag and or barcode in this case it's referring to the funko plushies that are sold in a single box or tray so we're going to get multiple plushies in one box and going off of the six pc we know that it means that there are six random plushies sold in each box. MM I completely miss this it is mystery minis and they're going to be six toys in the mystery mini um FNAF 2020 set. The pdq in the chart apparently is short for pretty darn quick yeah who would have guessed that apparently it means that the shipping to going on trays and stores has to be done pretty darn quick I don't fucking know apparently it's like a merchandise term and I think that's basically everything that we need to know so that's going to be it for this video unfortunately quite a bit of leaked information I do feel really bad for scott and stairwell because like we learned earlier they have been working on this project for a long time and it is looking to be fucking amazing I cannot wait again no release date just yet but it is coming either quarter two or quarter three that is my final guess so thank you so much for watching all the information can be found in the link in the description below so if you want to learn more you can go down there and check them out so thanks for watching I'll see you all on the flip side goodbye
