But today we're in Luke chapter 17 verses 20 through 37 and so let's begin reading together here in Luke chapter 20 rather chapter 17. Let's begin reading together at verse 20 and I'll read verses 20 and 21 and we'll get into our study. Luke chapter 17 verse 20 and 21. Luke writes now when he was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come he answered them and said the kingdom of God does not come with observation nor will they say see here or see there for indeed the kingdom of God is within you. Now the question that the Pharisees asked is one of those questions that was asked commonly during the time of the Lord Jesus Christ. There was a great deal of interest concerning prophetic events when Jesus was walking the face of the earth even as there still remains a great interest in prophetic events. You see the Jews during this time especially were interested in the kingdom of God and it being established because they were under Roman tyranny and they wanted that Roman rule to be to be off of them they wanted to be released from it. You see for many centuries the nation of Israel had been enduring many foreign rulers as you study your scriptures you see that that they were subjugated to the Assyrians and the Babylonians the Medo-Persians to the Greeks and and even during the time of the writing of the gospel of Luke they were being subjected to rulership by the Romans and and they longed to be free they wanted to be free from foreign tyranny. Now as they would examine their scriptures they would see that many times God had through the prophets promised them deliverance had promised that that he would establish his kingdom on the face of the earth and as they read their prophets they saw that the Messiah would do that they they could go through scripture after scripture and and the scriptures in the Old Testament were pointing to the time that that God would give to them a Messiah who would bring them into peace and prosperity and that's what they desired and they could read various prophets you see it throughout Ezekiel you see it in in in the book of Isaiah you you see it in Jeremiah for example in Jeremiah chapter 23 verses five and six the Bible says behold the days come says the Lord that I will raise unto David a righteous branch and a king shall reign and prosper and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth in his days Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely and this is his name whereby he shall be called the Lord our righteousness and so there were so many scriptures that gave promise to deliverance and blessing and so naturally that would be on the mind of the Pharisees the people were greatly desiring Messiah's rule and his reign and because of this particular expectation the Pharisees approached the Lord Jesus Christ and asked the question when is the kingdom of God going to arrive that was a common question during that time and they wanted to see it happen even in their day you see during that time the Jews were expecting an outward invisible kingdom that they themselves would be prominent in they were expecting armies and battles they were expecting proclamations and excitement but the problem is as they had a misconception a misconception of the kingdom of God and that's why Jesus answers in the way that he does because when it says in verse 20 that he was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come notice his answer he answered them and said the kingdom of God does not come with observation nor will they say see here or see there for indeed the kingdom of God is within you God's rule actually begins in the hearts of men God's rule is not intended to be forced on man but rather is to be received by a willing choice God's kingdom actually begins within a person because wherever Jesus is honored there you will find the kingdom of God you see when he says the kingdom of God does not come with observation the word observation the way we see it and the way that it was it was intended to be understood may be a bit different because for us the word observation cares with that the connotation of something that we are looking for when in reality the word observation speaks of an outward show and so that's what Jesus is speaking about here he's saying the kingdom of God isn't something that is outward show they're expecting battles and they're expecting trumpets and they're expecting all kinds of outer kinds of things where they're going to be raised and be prominent on the face of the earth but the point Jesus is making is that's not how the kingdom of God arrives in verse 21 he clarifies that when he says nor will they say see here or see there so he's speaking very specifically of the fact that the kingdom of God actually begins invisibly it begins at the heart of the person it begins in you it begins in me when we received Christ's Lord and Savior he is our Lord he is our king his kingdom has arrived within us and that's basically how he begins to approach their question by first and foremost saying listen the kingdom of God isn't what you expect it to be notice how he says indeed the kingdom of God is within you once again we could take that word within and we could say that that means something that is simply inside but that's not the entire meaning of the word because the word within also means amongst you and so what you have to see is the context of what's taking place what's taking place is Pharisees are basically surrounding Jesus and as he's standing there in the midst of these people they're saying when is the kingdom of God going to arrive and so as he's surrounded by people he's saying listen it doesn't come with outward manifestation I realize that you guys I read the prophets and I understand your expectation and and and during the time of Christ there was something called a Jewish eschatology there were certain events that they were anticipating that related to in their mind the last days and all in and obviously he fit into some of the structure of what they were expecting as they studied the Old Testament scriptures because they knew that that there would be certain things accompanying the arrival of their Messiah they knew for example that that there would be a great stress and and great tribulation and and they would be assuming that to be the rulership that they were enduring under Rome in the various centuries that they'd been under foreign rule they also knew that there would be a forerunner who was to come and Malachi had made that clear in Malachi chapter 4 verse 5 when he spoke concerning the one who was like Elijah who would come in the last days and all and so there were various things that they were anticipating expecting that were to be the events that ushered in Messiah and that's why the Pharisees approach him and and seeing that there was one by the name of John the Baptist who who preached in the spirit and power of Elijah well perhaps Jesus is capable of giving them insight concerning his kingdom when is the kingdom going to arrive now it doesn't necessarily mean that they are embracing him as Messiah what it means is they're coming to him as a rabbi asking for instruction and so that's what's taking place here there's this expectation but you see the kingdom of God begins within us according to Romans chapter 14 verse 17 the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking but righteousness and peace and joy and the Holy Spirit so the rulership of God produces within you the fruit of the Spirit and it demonstrates that God is actually active within you and so here we have the context they're asking questions concerning the kingdom of God is quick answer to them is it doesn't come with observation it's not simply an outward kind of show of any sort the kingdom of God is here Jesus Christ himself personifying that kingdom and and the kingdom of God begins with a relationship with God through Messiah Jesus but he continues on and begins to speak concerning conditions of the last days now let's begin to look at that in verse 22 it says he said to the disciples the days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man and you will not see it they will say to you look here look there do not go after them or follow them for as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven so also the Son of Man will be in his day but first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation and as it was in the days of Noah so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man they ate they drank married wives they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered the ark and the flood came and destroyed them all likewise as it was also in the days of Lot they ate they drank they bought they sold they planted they built but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed in that day he was on the house top and his goods are in the house let him not come down to take them away and likewise the one who was in the field let him not turn back remember Lot's wife and so Jesus begins to give to us here in the gospel Luke certain things that relate to the return his return you have to compare this with a variety of other scriptures and obviously if you were to study Matthew carefully you would look in Matthew chapters 24 and 25 and you would see that Jesus unfolds history for us in great detail here in Luke he doesn't do that and Luke he basically gives to us Luke under the inspiration the Holy Spirit gives to us a basic synopsis of these things and and as I was preparing this study I realized that if I was going to give this study in detail it would take several several Bible studies to do that we can actually take this apart and look at it in chronological order and we could tie in the book of Revelation and a variety of other books and you can see how it actually unfolds before you obviously we're not going to do that today I'm just going to give you a basic kind of teaching related to this and so I'm going to do the best that I can to give you some some insight into it and so as we look at verse 22 he said to the disciples the days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man and you will not see it well when he says you're going to desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man that phrase the Son of Man is another way of speaking of Messiah you're going to desire to see the rulership of Messiah you're going to desire to see that time the Son of Man is actually an Old Testament title for Messiah if you take notes it's found in Daniel chapter 7 verse 13 and there we have the term the Son of Man and it says I was watching in the night visions behold one like the Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven he came to the ancient of days and they brought him near before him and so he's speaking concerning the times of Messiah and the times he's saying will be so difficult that you will yearn for the peace that comes when I rule now you're going to desire to see that you're going to want to see one of the days of the Son of Man but notice what he says here he says you will not see it you're going to long to be delivered from the various struggles and afflictions that you'll find yourself enduring the things that you're suffering but you're not going to be delivered from them because Jesus is making it clear that he is not returning in their lifetime so they're going to long for his return but it isn't going to occur while they are alive these are first century believers and he's simply saying I'm not going to return during your days you're going to have a desire for me to return and that's going to be the cry of the church for 2,000 years and I find it interesting in the book of Revelation chapter 22 the last chapter of Revelation verse 20 and John says he who testifies to these things says surely I am coming quickly even so come Lord Jesus I mean the desire of the church has been from the beginning for Jesus to return yet Jesus is saying to these first century disciples you're going to long to see that but you will not be seeing that it will not occur in your lifetime but what is going to be taking place in the ensuing years in between Jesus's departure as he ascended into heaven and his return in what we call the second coming well he speaks in verse 23 and he says they will say to you look here or look there do not go after them or follow them the desire for Messiah can be so great that deceivers will use that desire to their great advantage false teachers are going to arise and will deceive many and the times are going to grow very hard it's interesting when you look at Matthew's account of Jesus's discussion it's called the the message he gives on the Mount of Olives an amount of all of it discourse it's called when you see that Jesus is asked a question relating to the his return because his disciples had approached him and had pointed out the beauty of the temple a temple that had been reconstructed over for over 40 years and and so they were just in such awe of it and it was such a beautiful and such an extravagant place in all and and so the disciples wanted Jesus to look at the beauty of that temple and and Jesus said listen you need to know that this temple isn't going to survive it's going to be destroyed not a stone is going to remain standing and for them the thought of of a massive massive stones that weigh some stones weighing 70 tons are going to be dislodged and this whole place is going to be destroyed was so beyond them and the thought that this immense and beautiful temple this glory of Jerusalem this center of worship was going to one day be gone was so beyond them they couldn't believe it and so they went spoke to him later on and said well what is the sign of your coming when are these things going to be and I want to know I mean if you're saying that this temple is going to be destroyed I want to get some detail on this in all and and that's when Jesus begins to speak to them and the very first thing he says is is be careful that you're not deceived and and so when he's speaking here in chapter 17 and he says at verse 23 in the gospel of Luke they'll say do you look here or look there do not go after them or follow them he's alluding to the fact that there'll be a rise of false teachers seducers who will be bringing deception in it's what he had said earlier or in more detail in Matthew 24 you see this as a theme throughout scripture you can see the same kind of thought about deception in 1st Timothy in chapter 4 verses 1 through 3 you can see the same thing in 2nd Timothy chapter 3 verses 1 through 7 you can see the same thing being spoken of in 2nd Peter chapter 2 verses 1 through 3 in various places in scripture where there are warnings related to false teachers under this incredible pressure that you're going to be going through in this desire to be released from it to have a Savior rumors will arise rumors will arise that Messiah has come that's why he says they'll say to you look here or look there but then he warns them do not go after them or follow them do not be following after the false teachers because false teachers will mislead false teachers will seduce they're going to say they know the exact time of his return they're going to say to you I know the exact place that he is he says do not listen these are false prophets and ultimately they will get you killed under the incredible pressures of the times you can be tempted to listen to what they're saying when Paul was writing in 2nd Thessalonians in chapter 2 verses 1 through 3 Paul said brethren concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him we ask you not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled either by spirit or by word or by letter as if from us as though the day of Christ had come let no one deceive you by any means even during the time of Paul the Thessalonian believers were hearing rumors that that the rapture had occurred that Christ had already come for the bride and they were greatly disturbed even refers to what's being done in order to to cause this disturbance he says that either by spirit or by word or by letter by spirit would be speaking of spiritual utterances where people were prophesying that the Lord Jesus Christ had already taken the church when he speaks concerning word it would be another way of saying that someone was saying well I spoke to Paul or one of the leaders of the church and they said it's already occurred when he says or as letter by us there are circulating rumors that Paul had written a letter that this day had already arrived he says don't let anybody deceive you so this was taking place at the beginning of the history of the church this anticipation of the return of Jesus Christ and false teachers already claiming things that were just not true false prophets during the last days they'll get even worse and worse they're going to be some who will be even performing miracles in an attempt to draw people to their side Paul speaks of that in 2nd Corinthians chapter 11 verses 13 through 15 he said such are false apostles deceitful workers transforming themselves into apostles of Christ no wonder Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light therefore it's no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness whose end will be according to their works so there'll be rumors there are going to be false works there's going to be so many various things taking place deceivers that will arise and so he says in verse 23 here in Luke 17 they're going to say to you look here or look there do not go after them or follow them well why not well verse 24 says for as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven so also the Son of man will be in his day my return will be an obvious event it will be something that occurs suddenly and will be known completely there is a particular organization called Jehovah's Witnesses who in their early pamphlets their handouts stated that Jesus has returned and that Jesus is ruling and reigning right now in Brooklyn New York seriously in the watchtower organization because they claim themselves to be prophets in the name of God and so in their writings you could you could see this for yourself Walter Martin in his book kingdom of the cults documents this that Jehovah's Witnesses stated that Jesus has returned invisibly and now rules and reigns through the watchtower organization in Brooklyn New York in the early 1900s during World War one there was such a fear that this war was the war to end all wars and there were so many people that were afraid they were going to be wiped out that the Jehovah's Witnesses at that time stated well this is the foretaste of the return of Christ and then went so far as to say that he had returned and that he was ruling and reigning through the organization called the watchtower organization there in Brooklyn New York and so this is exactly what Jesus was saying when he says they're gonna say do you look here or look there do not go after them or follow them why for as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven so also the Son of Man will be in his day my return will be an obvious event it occurs suddenly it occurs completely now he says in verse 25 but first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation so he's saying listen you're going to be longing for my day you're going to be afflicted and suffering going through very hard times and incredible persecution but you need to remember something and notice how he puts it in verse 25 he must suffer many things and be rejected even as Jesus was rejected and suffered even so will his followers be rejected and also experienced suffering and his followers have done so for centuries so he is saying to them don't delude yourselves into thinking that you will avoid difficulties they've rejected Messiah they will reject you but he goes on in verse 26 and says and as it was in the days of Noah so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man they ate they drank they married wives they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered the ark and the flood came and destroyed them all and so he begins to give them some insight now one of the things when you study the book of Genesis and you look in chapter 6 that introduces you to the conditions that were in existence in the early history of the world and you start seeing things that that were occurring during that time the one thing that you'll see in Genesis chapter 6 the events that precluded the that that went before the flood was that those days were incredibly evil evil was rampant and that's why God brought judgment down on the earth and so Jesus is making it clear that judgment came upon them when they were not expecting it and even so judgment is going to come you see when he speaks concerning them buying eating drinking marrying being given in marriage etc that's just common every day occurrences and so he's speaking concerning the fact that that the judgment came in an unexpected way and even so the return of Christ is going to be unexpected also it'll come in a way like that the conditions are going to be absolutely evil though you see in Noah's day because evil was rampant God did something first God extended to the world a season of grace that occurred when Noah was busy building the ark the ark that Noah built as we all know was on a an air and a plane if you will and because Genesis tells us that there was no rain in the early days of the history of the world but that a mist would water when when Noah began to preach and indeed he was a preacher people weren't listening to him they they didn't hear him they didn't want to hear what he had to say but God was giving them opportunity to hear a message that they might repent in 1st Peter in chapter 3 verse 20 the apostle writes the long suffering of God waited in the days of Noah while the ark was being prepared wherein few that his eight souls were saved by water Noah was saved in the ark as well as his wife his three sons and their wives eight people is what he's referring to but God was giving to them a season of grace he gave to them some time to repent and and he does that because he cares Romans 2 verse 4 says do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness tolerance and patience not realizing that God's kindness leads you toward repentance you see God didn't bring instant judgment because God was extending mercy sometimes we can think that because we haven't gotten hammered by the Lord that he must approve of what we're doing but i've discovered that that's not the way the Lord works what God does is he he gives to us a space of time to repent he gives us opportunity to to repent prior to him bringing the judgment that that that he needs to bring on on on me when i you know the the chastening that he brings on me when i do something wrong and prior to coming to christ i might have thought that my lifestyle was was okay and that the Lord was blessing it because you know i didn't seem that any any dire consequences occurred in my life but in reality what paul would be saying would he would he does say in Romans chapter 2 verse 4 is listen just because you haven't been hammered doesn't mean that God's pleased with it it's kind of like my kids you know when they were growing up and and they'd be doing something that wasn't right and and you know and i i noticed it you know it wasn't like like i didn't know they were doing something wrong i did you know i mean any parent knows this when your kids are in a room and it gets quiet something bad's happening and you know something's going on and so i didn't always come down on them immediately i i gave them a chance i'd give them a chance and then ultimately then i'd have to extend the the discipline you know i remember my son david who's 29 years old now but when he was a little boy a little guy i was trying to teach him the concept of grace and so he did something that deserved a spanking and and i remember saying to him son i'm going to teach you a lesson about god's grace you know what you did really deserves a spanking you know but what i'm going to do is i'm going to explain to you this was wrong and i don't want you to do it again and i'm giving to you grace now grace is is undeserved favor and and you deserves to be spanked son but i'm going to give to you favor i'm giving to you god's grace i'm going to give to you a father's grace right now and i'm not going to spank you thanks dad i really appreciate that and i said oh of course you do of course you do and then he did something wrong shortly thereafter and i go walking in and i said man he says well dad grace grace and he started screaming grace grace i said grace nothing it's law time you're getting the law boy but god gives to us and you know this i'm speaking to people understand this god gives to us a season to repent he did that in the time of noah he didn't bring the flood immediately he gave them a season to repent the bible tells us that noah actually would preach he was preaching for them to repent in second peter's second peter chapter two verse five it says god did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people but protected noah a preacher of righteousness and seven others so he was referred to as a preacher of righteousness because one he had a message god gave to the people and two in his actions his activities of building that ark so that he might be saved when god's judgment came it demonstrated that he believed god even though it had never rained even though he would be saying god is bringing judgment and he could speak concerning the rain how god is going to bring the rain at that time there was a water belt and so the atmosphere was perfect it was perfect because the sun would be filtered through this water belt and that's why people had longevity that's why they could live over 900 years but god punctures that water belt and that's where the rain comes from and that's where the flood occurs and so god got to the end of his patience but during that time you have a man noah who is a preacher of righteousness but eventually because god's patience was reached he brought judgment the flood came suddenly but not without warning noah had preached but they rejected and that's why in second peter three fifteen the apostle could say bear in mind that our lord's patience means salvation he gives you opportunity to repent but ultimately you come to the end of your opportunity and then judgment falls and god's patience the end of his patience was reached now in verse 28 and 29 likewise as it was also in the days of lot they ate they drank they bought they sold they planted they built but on the day that lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all verse 30 even so will it be in the day when the son of man is revealed and so it was business as usual when judgment hit the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah now those are proverbial cities guys i mean people who don't even believe in the bible can talk about Sodom and Gomorrah you may be thinking that those are the only cities that were judged actually Sodom and Gomorrah had also what were called sister cities there are other cities involved in this judgment Deuteronomy 29 verse 23 says the whole land is brimstone salt and burning it is not sown nor does it bear nor does any grass grow there like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah Adma and Zeboim which the Lord overthrew in his anger and his wrath so there were other cities that were there that were taken in this tremendous judgment that he's speaking about now when he's speaking of lot he's speaking obviously of Sodom and Gomorrah Sodom and Gomorrah we could preach an entire message on this by itself when you read the bible concerning Sodom and Gomorrah you might find this interesting Sodom and Gomorrah had what we would today call a false security they had a false security that was based on on food on luxuries a life of ease and what had happened is this had all given rise to neglecting the poor and neglecting those in need and it even gave rise to sexual perversion when you study the bible in Genesis in chapter 19 it speaks concerning how God brought judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities now several years ago I was reading some material put out by an organization that called itself a Christian church but was actually not a Christian church it was a church that catered to homosexuals and didn't ever encourage homosexuals to repent from their sin and be transformed they they said that that you were created that way and therefore it's okay to to live out your life in the way that you feel is best for you and I read some of their material and and one of the things that they said is that God brought judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah not because of the sin of sexual perversion but because they were inhospitable to the angels who had come and as a result of that God brought judgment for inhospitality not sexual perversion is that true is that what the bible teaches well in Ezekiel if you take notes Ezekiel chapter 16 verses 49 and 50 we read this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom she and her daughter had pride fullness of food and abundance of idleness neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy they were haughty and committed abomination before me therefore I took them away as I saw fit so they had a false security based on luxury items as well as sexual immorality now Jude tells us in his book in verse seven Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them in similar manner to these having given themselves over to sexual immorality gone after strange flesh are set forth as an example suffering the vengeance of eternal fire Sodom and Gomorrah is proverbially known for being absolutely wicked cities and the materialism and the luxury and their lack of love and their pride and their perversion all were reasons for God bringing judgment on those cities it isn't difficult for us today to draw parallel with what was taken place then and with what we see today it's not difficult to do that whatsoever there are some who would say and I've heard this in argumentation who would say Jesus never condemned homosexuality that's what Jesus is referring to here in this passage as we're looking at it he's referring to Sodom and everybody knew who was reading at that time what he was speaking about and all of us today because we have the old and New Testament we understand exactly what he's talking about he was talking about the sins of Sodom their indulgence and the perversion that resulted in their judgment that's what he's speaking about and Jesus is making it clear that in the last days just prior to his return those conditions will continue to exist and will actually be accelerated which is what we're seeing in our day that's what he says in verse 30 even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed and so he's saying this these are the conditions there's going to be wickedness there's going to be this kind of indulgence there's going to be a rejection of the message there's going to be a lack of repentance there's going to be an escalation of luxury a neglect of the poor a sexual perversion and that's going to be the conditions that are in effect prior to the return of Jesus Christ and so the second coming actually has with it a time of judgment even as there was judgment on the world during the days of Noah and even as there was judgment on Sodom Gomorrah and the other cities surrounding them and so when Revelation 19 speaks concerning the return of Christ we read in verses 11 through 16 I saw heaven opened behold a white horse he who sat on him was called faithful and true and in righteousness he judges and makes war his eyes were like a flame of fire and on his head were many crowns he had a name written that no one knew except himself he was clothed with a robe dipped in blood his name is called the word of God and the armies in heaven clothed in fine linen white and clean followed him on white horses now out of his mouth goes a sharp sword that with it he should strike the nations he himself will rule them with a rod of iron he himself treads the wine press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God and he has on his robe and on his thigh a name written king of kings and lord of lords and so the return of Christ as we see it is a time when he comes and he is making war and that's the point that he's making here some of us have been raised with pictures of Jesus meek and mild where he's kind of walking around with a kind of a kind of a wimpish look carrying a little you know a little lamb around you know but the picture that that that we get from the book of Revelation is anything but that I don't even know where we got the idea that Jesus was some effeminate European I don't get it excuse me but you know what I'm talking about I mean look at some of this old art and that's what you see you know an effeminate European man you know and I don't know where they got that idea from I really don't I mean Jesus Christ was a carpenter he was a master craftsman he worked with his hands he walked everywhere he went he had a he had a very strong back he was only 33 when he died so he is in the peak of his of his life you know when he was going to build something he didn't call Bethlehem lumber and say could you please deliver some two by fours I mean he would go out there and he would cut this down himself I don't think he'd say you know table be made and it was perfect I don't think so you know he worked with his hands you know he had calluses he had a strong back he was a truly a man's man this was the kind of guy who could walk into the temple and he could overturn tables from money changers and these people weren't going to give up their money that easily but when he walked in and he threw those tables this is a house of prayer and you have made it into a den of thieves this was not a wimpish guy carrying a lamb I mean this forgive me but I mean and and and so we got the wrong idea of who Jesus is we have the wrong idea of what he's like but revelation describes for us what he's like this is a general this is a warrior this is a king this is somebody who says I've told you what to do and now I'm enforcing my word that's why it's wise for me to bow my knees now because as scripture says every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father you see and so as we look at scripture he's making it very clear listen the days are going to be evil the days are going to be like in the days of Noah when nothing was going well the imagination of man was only evil continually only evil continual I was sharing just yesterday with my staff how that we have people today who are speaking concerning AIDS and all HIV AIDS and I and I said you know the thing that really amazes me about all of this is various things that amaze me about this one I said the average people don't realize that AIDS or perhaps don't remember the word AIDS was was something that actually was a secondary name the first way that it was referred to and some of you are old enough to remember this and back in 1983 when when it first began to appear here in the United States when people actually were being diagnosed with this disease this horrible disease it was not called AIDS acquired immunodeficiency syndrome it was called grid do you remember that how many you remember that how many you remember that it was called grids gay related immunodeficiency syndrome that's what it was called but because it was so offensive to homosexual lobbyists the name was actually changed to AIDS it was originally called grids that was what it was referred to because it was gay related because those were the cases that's what people saw that's what those who those were the ones who were having it you know there were times in the history of the United States there was a syphilis epidemic I have some in this in this congregation right now might remember it was during world war two and a state an entire state was quarantined because of syphilis a state in the United States was quarantined I'm old enough to remember that as a little boy if somebody had chicken pox or measles or some communicable disease we actually had little signs that you would put on in the window how many you remember anybody remember that I know some of you do there were little signs quarantine which meant you can't come up and open knock on the door because someone here has measles or somebody has chicken pox or something like that you're gonna get it and so we actually had signs you would put on here on your window quarantine telling people you shouldn't come in here because somebody in here has a disease but today a surgeon can be doing an operation on somebody who has HIV AIDS and every surgeon any surgeon will tell you that when you're doing surgery because the scalpel is so sharp you inevitably will cut yourself surgeons cut themselves all the time but they don't have a legal right to know that this patient has AIDS because it's been blocked they can't know that and I was telling my staff this just yesterday I was saying these people in that produce the movies and produce the tv programs that that casual sex is fun and and with no consequences and then they wear their little their little ribbons there that that symbolize their fight against AIDS if they really wanted to end AIDS they wouldn't be advertising casual sex with no consequences they would do everything they could to help people by not promoting casual sex but they don't they have more problems with you smoking a cigarette than you have in an abortion there is something wrong with the nation that we live in that allows this and promotes this and has no problem with it and the thing that is problematic to me is even the church has been lulled into silence because the speech that I'm speaking right now can be denoted as hate speech there are laws being passed in nations right now that would put me in prison for saying what I just said to you Canada just recently passed a hate speech bill that's what's taking place right now and Jesus said in the days of Noah like it was in the time of Lot so it shall be sexual perversion will be rampant luxury people living with indifference towards the poor and not caring about others will be rampant you're gonna long for my rule but it isn't going to occur in your lifetime there are various things that must take place before that now he says in verse 31 in that day he who is on the housetop and his goods are in the house let him not come down to take them away and likewise the one who is in the field let him not turn back remember Lot's wife whoever seeks to save his life will lose it whoever loses his life will preserve it I tell you in that night there'll be two men in one bed the one will be taken the other will be left two women will be grinding together one will be taken the other left two men will be in the field one will be taken the other left they answered and said to him where Lord so he said wherever the body is there the eagles will be gathered together materialism don't leave the roof and run down to get your stuff get out of there as soon as you can it's another cry against materialism and then to amplify that he says I think this is interesting he simply says remember Lot's wife you guys remember Lot's wife what was her first name I don't know I just miss his lot remember Lot's wife yeah salty you know the story I don't have to go through it with you the angels come they give a warning they say get out of here do not look back you have to escape do not even turn around and look back and so we we cannot bring judgment until you are safely delivered judgment will not fall until you are safely delivered and then we will bring judgment which is a picture of the rapture the Lord removes the church and judgment falls we will not bring judgment until you are out but the Bible tells us in Genesis 19 verse 26 his wife looked back behind him she became a pillar of salt I looked up that word when it says she looked because I wanted to make sure on this it's not that she simply was running and she glanced over her shoulder that's not what happened is it for me I'll wait you through I know her that's why I'm teasing her that's you know if I didn't know her I just ignore this but she causes problems all the time when it says looked that word looked speaks of a longing she didn't just glance she was gazing back with a longing her body left Sodom her heart remained there that's why he says remember Lot's wife she was delivered physically but never was truly delivered and he's simply saying you aren't going to escape if your heart doesn't escape and if you have this material desire the same kind of desires that Sodom had with their luxury the same kind of desire that motivates so many people in their material cravings well you can get your body out of an area and your heart remains there so remember Lot's wife she was judged now when he says whoever seeks to save his life will lose it whoever loses life will preserve it those in Noah's and Lot's day had one thing in common they wanted something other than God so he's saying that the world is not worth losing heaven for remember in chapter 12 of Luke in verse 23 how he had said life is more than food and the body is more than clothing so heaven requires self-denial and self-sacrifice but the end is worth it and then he finally says and we'll close briefly here in verse 34 through 37 he finally says in that night there'll be two men in a bed one will be taken the other left two women grinding together one taken the other left two men in the field one taken the other left basically what he's saying is my coming is sudden and it's unannounced men will be asleep which speaks of night women will be at work making bread which speaks of morning and there'll be men working in a field which speaks of afternoon and so he's basically saying that in different places on the earth when he returns it'll be different time that's all but one is taken and the other is left this would be in the second coming this isn't the rapture one is going to be taken in judgment and the other is going to be recognized as having true faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and so the answer and they say in verse 37 where where lord he said wherever the body is there the eagles will be gathered together well vultures hovering over a carcass are visible for miles so similarly he's saying my return will be obvious and evident to all near and far away so this pictures the judgment that will take place on earth when he returns he's basically just given a warning you're going to desire for me to return i will not do so in your lifetime but in as much as people want to know what the conditions are going to be these are going to be the general conditions of that day prior to my return it will be worse and it will get worse but ultimately he's saying but i will return and when i return i bring judgment because people have been given a space to repent but even as they did during the time of Noah when the word was given to them and a warning was given they rejected it even so to the very end people will continue rejecting the gospel of Jesus Christ to their own hurt

Cartoons Cartoons and animated movies is the branch of movies for children, which have very bright images, colors and music. Originally, they used to be drawn by artists, however, almost all modern cartoons are created with the help of computer animation. Cartoons help children to understand the world around them, and they also form the basis of their personality. In the past, children used to read a lot, but nowadays, cartoons became children's guideline. I think that modern cartoons are becoming more and more overaged. The industry creates products for both children and their parents. One of the biggest problems is that cartoons nowadays become meaningless. Their only purpose is entertainment. For example, I think such a popular cartoon as SpongeBob SquarePants couldn't be on air at all, because it can influence children mental health in a bad way. The characters of some cartoon series make me think about the existence of possible mental problems of their creators. There is also violence and even a hint of sex in modern cartoons. In spite of all new technologies, it seems that all animated masterpieces were created dozens of years ago, and what we see now is a wicked time to create something at least as good as it used to be.


It is another packed house at Valley Parade. Over two and a half thousand Carlisle United fans have made the journey from Cumbria to West Yorkshire. And a stadium which was built for the Premier League some time ago. Now hoping to host a successful League 2 promotion campaign once again. Mark Hughes, somebody who has worked at the very highest level. And he and the rest of his team are wearing armbands here this evening. The Bradford City Academy manager Neil Matthews very sadly died of cancer recently. At the age of just 56 he was a successful striker across the lower divisions. And he had built a very successful academy here at Bradford City. And Valley Parade will now pay tribute to him. She was sent off in the National League playoff semi-final or final rather at Wembley after 45 seconds five years ago. But he's lasted longer here tonight. Off the pitch and a free kick's been given shoved over by Smallwood by Mokson. It's a very good delivery and in the end there wasn't insufficient power. Joe Garner was almost on the end of that as he bungled through the bodies. But Harry Lewis was able to claim in the end. The flares were eventually back on their feet. Patrick challenging forward inside the area. It was all sorts happening there all over the field. Garner picked himself up after a wrestling match on the touch line. That dipping volley so well but he controlled the ball with his arm and it wouldn't have counted. Captain Carlisle Walker was on the end of the opportunity. Harry Lewis at one end. Walker tried to flick the ball on. Kurt then causing problems and it broke kindly for Walker. And he kept his call. Bradford willing the voucher had tennis. And then Banks doing well to offer the nuisance value to give Walker the space right down the centre. Stepping in there before Armour. And then Walker did the rest. Out of his feet driven wide but delivering the cross in. But Barclay was on the end of it. To the face of goal. Bradford so close to a second it was Walker with the shot in the end. Calmont was robbed there and Walker fizzing the ball right across. But putting on the end of it this time. But Walter responds since falling behind. Now McCalmont. Support from Senior. Off the ball inside the area. Senior. Moxon. League two with Exeter last season. And for trying to play their way out but they've given the ball away. How much contact was there looking to hold that high defensive line. It's deep from Moxon. The right house was on the end of it. And the final touch was off wheeling. Any one of us can feel low. Our thoughts can get us down. We can also feel worried about family and friends. But you don't need to struggle on your own. A helping hand is at the end of the phone. Or keyboard every day of the year. Call guideline on their free phone number today. 0801 284 284.  Your local mental health charity. www.mindingbradford.org who went to ground and the ball had clearly gone out there we could see but it was difficult for the officials to see that Edmondson able to pick out a team player to contest a decision as Carlisle looked to get moving again Edmondson in between Critchlow but unable to keep the header down Qs will know there is a big day coming up Brunson Park for a big night in a bigger crowd here at Valley for a time in the time thanks to James Walker's first half-goal a combustible 90 minutes but Walker proving to be the difference Carlisle have had one or two moments which will convince them there is still something in this tight coming up on home turf next weekend a great lake chance for Ron Edmondson which was sent over the top but James Walker the match winner here tonight it is finished Bradford City 1 Carlisle United 0


Hey everyone, my name is Maggie. I'm the coordinator for Community Connections here at the University of Arkansas. So I oversee our off-campus departments and I supervise our community connectors. And I'm Mark Wilson. I'm a community connector as well. I'll be a senior this year management student in business. And this is my second year as a community connector. So it's been an interesting journey and I'm looking forward to coming here. Awesome. So tell us a little bit about living off-campus and anybody joining, if you have any questions, send them in the chat and I will send them their way. Alright, so yeah, we have partnered with four different complexes that you can live at under a university housing contract. So we are here at the Marshall currently and we partner with the Marshall, those are Villas, the locale and the partner. So when you live here under a housing contract, you would get to be along with our student staff, community connectors. And you really just live in the apartments, go to events on campus. We plan our own events here for you guys. But you also get to utilize the amenities that your specific complex has. So you kind of get the best of both worlds in a way. Awesome. So yeah, it's really cool when you do one or two events at each complex. Every community connector is at their building assignment then. And so they put on like personal events for everybody, the residents that live there. And then we partner a couple times this semester on work and work with groups on campus as well. So we get a good mix of both. Yeah, really our main goal is to get you guys connected to campus even though you live off-campus. So like Mark said, that's usually partnering with different campus partners. So last year we partnered with UREC for like a tennis and tenders event. But we also partnered with CAPS. And we really just want you guys to know that even though you live off-campus on our housing contract, we still get to utilize everything that the on-campus student has to offer. We do have a quick question. Someone asked on move-in day, do students go to housing to pick up move-in materials or to the apartment? So you will arrive at your assigned complex. When you come in, you'll be greeted by the housing staff. So you'll have your community connector there. And then I will also kind of be floating around.  So there's no need to go to the housing office. Awesome. All right. We do have some questions that you guys sent in ahead of time. So we're going to kind of jump to those. So the first question has to do with the Marshall and where you can get reserved parking. So at the Marshall, we do have spots here for students. If you have not been assigned parking yet, go ahead to your housing portal. Sign up for an arrival time. Go all the way through that, even if you currently are placed and live here right now. Because then you will be taken to a page that says, would you like to opt in for parking? At that point, you would select yes. Then you get entered onto a list and you'll be notified next week whether or not you get parking at the Marshall. Another question we have is how do you purchase a meal plan and when does it reflect on your account? So you can purchase a meal plan anytime throughout the housing portal and that is reflected as soon as you purchase it. But it does not get activated until the first day of classes. But again, you can purchase it the first day of class and be able to utilize it that day. So yeah, that is all done through the housing portal. Yeah, and the great thing about the meal plans is you can buy the lowest tier off-campus one. And if that isn't enough for you, like if you're exceeding amount of bill, like a lot of block mills, or you spend all your $9, you can always upgrade them to more mills per week.  So it helps out too, especially you thought you'd like cooking dinner every night like I would. It just didn't happen. You got homework and all sorts of other things that get in the way. So it's much easier just to go on campus and pick up a quick meal, like chicken leg or something like that. That's very true. Someone asked, will parking for the locale be told to them beforehand, or is that a move-in day or deal as well? So you should have been notified if you live at the locale whether or not you received parking there. If you have not been notified, I would call the housing office because they do have a list and they should be able to tell you. But if you don't receive parking at the locale, we do offer resident reserve and garden garage for the locale students specifically. But yeah, that is a housing office question. We'll be able to tell you. Another question we have is how do I get a block meal plan if I live at Duncan? So the Duncan apartments aren't part of off-campus apartments. So you are still under university on-campus housing, but it is the same process. You go into the housing portal if you are not offered a block meal plan. Call the housing office and they can update that for you. But because you are on-campus, it is an on-campus meal plan unless it's overridden by housing. So just go through them and they can help you out. Someone asked for early move-in tomorrow, will there be people by the dorms directing them? Should I turn to you? Yeah, that's fine. That's okay. Yeah, Christopher Spencer with Housing. We are prepared for early arrivals and early arrivals go directly to the housing office. All arrivals go to the housing office and there will be people to meet you. If you live on campus. Off-campus, do we have any early arrivals for off-campus? There are some if you have signed up and been given approval in the okay. That is a very limited number of you guys. But if that's the case, you would still show up to your complex. They know you're coming. So that would just be show up at the complex and they'll give you your keys. Perfect. Okay, I've got a question. Is the village, I guess I'm an over-living villager, but is the room furnished or unfurnished? Okay, no, it doesn't say that. Anyway, specifically regarding the bed. And so all the apartments off-campus and on-campus for that matter come with beds. Off-campus have their own kitchens and most people have their own bathrooms where they're shared and showers. So you would have to bring things like pots and pans and you have to provide your own toilet paper and cleaning supplies. But all the essential items like the oven and the stove and the microwave are all provided. I do also want to jump in there because we do get this question a lot. The shower rods are provided, but you do have to bring a shower curtain and shower liner with you when you come. Someone asked, do you have to have a meal plan to have dining dollars? I don't believe so. I believe you can add dining dollars. Yeah, that's another housing offers question just because I don't really deal with dining. But our people in housing, they do and they are more than welcome to answer any of your dining questions. As far as I know dining dollars, you can upload as many as you want and then you have to spend all of them by the semester. So they don't transfer over the next semester, but I think you can upload as many as you want. You can do hundreds of dollars at a time if you wanted, but you just got to spend it by the end of the semester. Perfect. Someone asked, do off-campus apartments qualify for on-campus or off-campus meal plans? And is there a difference? So I just checked today. They are off-campus meal plans, but I think what's new this year that they didn't have last year is you can get your 15 meals a week, 10 meals a week, 5 meals a week, which I don't think was an option last year. But as of this morning that is a thing. It is again purchased by semester and they don't roll over. But mainly our off-campus students just purchase a block meal plan just because you get a set amount for the whole semester and a set amount of $90 and you can use them whenever and wherever on-campus you would prefer. Perfect. So another question is where can I park? So most apartment complexes do come with parking. That is separate, so you do have to pay for that. But we do have a number of spots there for our students. So like I mentioned at the locale, if you were selected, you can park there. If you don't get parking at your specific complex, you can purchase a green lot pass, which are lots located by football stadium and kind of down razor back road, along with Lot 99, which is an orange lot. So there are a variety of places you can park, but only green and orange lot passes can be purchased. But all of those are right by a razor back bus stop transit. So definitely can utilize that if you would like. Yeah, that's a great thing too. Every apartment is close to the bus stop. So if you don't want to purchase a parking pass, like a green lot pass or a parking like another parking garage, you can save some money and ride the bus to and from class every day. And they actually come pretty often, so it's not the most stylish way to get to class, but it is a really good way to get to class and it beats walking for sure. So especially on rainy day or snowy day, for that matter. Oh yeah. And if we have already answered questions you're sending in the chat and you did not hear that, this will be uploaded under our Instagram page. You are cousing under Reels and it will be on YouTube later this month. So what are the off-campus students' on-campus parking options? You kind of went over that. Green lot passes or green lot lots and orange lots are available. Just a reminder there is you do have to move your cars for baseball and football games, which they do get directed to lot 99, which is right in front of Aspen Heights and across the street from Ozark Villas. I've got a question for you. What do you think is the walking time from here to the, I'd say, 20 minutes? I would say 20. From the lookout, it's a good hike up a hill, it's probably like 15, 20 minutes. I don't know about here, but we're on Marshall, what do you think? From the Marshall, it's a 20-minute walk, 15, 20 minutes from the Marshall to the Hyper, and I would tack on probably another 10 minutes to the Union, so you're looking at a 25 or 30-minute walk. Good to be aware of that. Buses, bikes, transportation is good. Scooters. And Vio, I believe. So we do have Instagrams, that's another question, is do the apartments have an Instagram like the halls do? We do, it's called New York Off. We will be highlighting our staff in each complex so you guys get to know them and know their faces. We also will be sharing event reminders along with just general information that we need to get out to you guys, could be regarding move out or anything fun like that. So yeah, follow us if you guys have Instagram. Somebody asked, is there a need for renters insurance for an off-campus housing? And the answer is no. I don't believe the university requires it. I think you could add, could you add it? Yeah. Would you recommend it? Yes. Any time you're a renter, to make sure your property is protected. It's not required. That's a lesson for me. Not far, we do recommend it. I know I was talking to someone in housing today, we have freshman students who may not have cooked by themselves before.  So renters insurance is really cheap, it's like three or four dollars a month. I mean I think I pay like three dollars. So for me the peace of mind of if the Marshall does burn down my stuff's okay.  Exactly. You can't eat that fight. Exactly. It's a little crunchy. So yeah, we do recommend it, but it is not required and nobody's going to check. Yeah. Someone asked, is atmosphere and cardinal the closest off-campus apartments to campus? Say yes. So we don't partner with atmosphere, but we do partner with the cardinal. I believe it is right off-carbon. Yeah, it's right there with Duncan Avenue Park on the south side of the campus. Yeah, right by the business school, I believe. Yep. So those are probably the closest, but it's my understanding they don't have a Razorback transit bus stop right outside like the Marshall and the locale do. So that is the closest walking business, but each place I mean is a 10 minute bus ride of that. So they're all really close. That's why we chose to partner with those guys is because they're closest for you guys. Perfect. We don't have any other questions in the chat right now. So do you guys have any other ones? I have anything. I just want to let you guys know that we do have Mark, the community connector, as he said. We have about three or four community connectors in each of our partner department complexes. So when you guys first move in, we're going to come around with Welcome Baskets with items from our campus partners just to welcome you all to campus. We kind of see what's on campus, what you guys have access to. But also we will have QR codes for you guys to join your groupies. Just a way to connect with the other students living at your complex under a housing contract. Again, a way to send reminders. But really I want you guys to know that the CCs are out there.  Feel free to message me, reach out to me if you guys need anything. But our CCs are very knowledgeable and they know the complexes just as well if not better than me. So don't be afraid to reach out to them. And our whole job is to make these students, I don't know, feel a little comfortable and feel like they have a relationship to on-campus. Because it is like a, I felt it myself, but there's this connect between on-campus and off-campus for sure. And for like freshmen that don't know many people, it can be tough to go over and just kind of feel like a loud cider. So talking to the connectors and it can be a great way to just help learn about campus and try to meet some new people and kind of build those relationships to have a successful time. Did you guys want to talk briefly about A-week? Yes, so we do go to events for A-week just like you would if you lived on campus. So your community connector would be utilizing that group meet to send out Hey, I'm going to so-and-so events. So look out for that because we want you guys to not do any difference living off-campus. A-week is for you guys as well. Get out there, meet new people, see everything campus has to offer so be looking for that. But yeah, we... Can I make a plug for a specific event? Taste of Fayetteville? Taste of Fayetteville. Can I talk a little bit about that? It's free food. I've never been. That's crazy. I can talk about it a little bit. I go early. The line is long. But there is... It is a ton of like food vendors locally that you get to go around and have... There's canes, you get a chicken strip, I got ice cream for one place. Lots of food. Lots of free food. Yes, a number of places. I highly recommend it, but it does get busy. Other events that we do are Trivia Night. That's what we collaborate. And that's what you brag about in a week too. Yeah, Trivia Night. And I think we have one more that we collaborate on. I can't remember what the name of it is, but... Anyway, several great events for a week. Don't miss out. Come on campus and check it out. Get involved, meet new people, and eight weeks of fun time. And university programs and new student and family programs puts on a lot of those events. It's just a great way to get connected with campus. I think they have a bunch of history tours around campus and study tours so you can find all the best places to study. So yeah, I highly, highly recommend your community connectors will be going. So join them or if you have a specific event you want to go to that you don't want to go alone. Reach out to them as they'll be more than welcome to go with you and get a group together. So, highly recommend. Pressure photo rally to medal. A pep rally. A pep rally. Yes. Pressure photo to make in the stadium. Yes. Yeah, so kind of what our plan is, is that Sunday before classes, I believe it's the 21st. Sounds right. We'll be having an all complex meeting with your community connectors and really just kind of lay out the ground rules and kind of their expectations for the semester and kind of what the complexes expect out of you guys when it comes to taking care of their stuff and, you know, making it feel like home and their rules and everything like that. But then you will all go to the pep rally where you guys will learn everything there is to be about a raise your back chance and the alma mater and fight song and how to call the cops and then you will go down and get your big A photo on the football field. So yeah, that's definitely something to look forward to. I believe it's a tradition around here. Someone asked on move-in day, will parents need a pass to help students unload? No, they will not because the complexes are kind of separate from off campus. So you guys kind of come, park, unload and then kind of go on your way. It's not as crazy as on campus because you only have your complex so it's just kind of you and everybody else moving in but we do have multiple days so it's not as crowded. So I do not believe you guys are getting parking passes because you guys don't need them. Yeah, it's not. I don't think off campus moving in is nearly as stressful as moving in on campus. Yeah. Yeah, you can just, there's a lot less people and yeah, it's just, there's no time and blocks or anything like that. Awesome. Anything else? I don't think so. We're excited for you guys to come and to live in our apartment complex. I know the managers have been working really hard to make sure you guys' units are looking great. We're excited for you guys to come meet you guys and get this semester going. Awesome. Thank you all for joining your Comelive 2023. This was Off Campus Housing. As always, Wu Pig Sui. Yes, thank you guys. Bye. Boom.


Hi, I'm Susie Sikorsky. I'm a Fulbright U.S. student for the 2016-2017 year. I had came to the United Arab Emirates and the American University of Sharjah two years ago in the fall 2014 semester. I came through International Exchange Office as well as a CIEE program and right away I matriculated into art history courses. I took a course with Dr. Martin Giesen, a Michelangelo course, as well as a visual arts course painting the practice of color with Professor David Hewitt. I came here knowing that I wanted to pursue contemporary Middle Eastern art. I knew Cercal in Dubai had a growing scene, Sharjah Art Foundation, Sharjah Art Museum, so I was in a right place to do that and through my experience actually in a painting course I had seen a Saudi artist Tamer Khalil. He was finishing his CAD in architecture but I had seen him painting in the back of Dr. Professor Hewitt's class and he immediately I was drawn to him and I just started talking to him about his experiences and the painting had no borders to it. It was white and I asked him what's the meaning of this and he says I want to live in a border-free environment. You know I don't want to be constricted by different ways of painting or playing music or creating architecture. I want to just kind of be very free and liberated when I create art and that experience alone turned into hours of interviewing him and it was this first moment where I knew I loved interviewing. I loved learning not only about his art techniques but about growing up, how he became an artist in not only the Middle East but in the Arabian Peninsula as a Saudi Arabian artist. How I was able to apply to this Fulbright was constantly speaking with the AUS CAD professors, Professor David Hewitt as well as you know Dr. Giesen who actually you know accepted to be my Fulbright advisor so he was constantly talking to me about my thesis when I was applying because it was during that same time of me trying to create my undergrad thesis while also applying to the Fulbright. So I was constantly sending emails back and forth with him and he was advising me a bit as well as Professor David Hewitt in terms of you know more about artists in the Emirates, Emirati heritage, how that's manifested in the artwork itself so they were helping me all the time with that. I have two different projects I'm doing for my Fulbright scholarship. I have one where I'm going to be assisting the curator of the 35th annual Emirates Fine Arts Society exhibition. It is the longest running exhibition in the entire Arabian Peninsula as well as the oldest exhibition space in the oldest practicing art collective society in the UAE starting forming in 1980. So I will be helping assist Nasser Abdullah the curator for this exhibition and what naturally came out of that was being able to combine all of my interviews that I've been doing since my time here in October and creating a website, creating a platform and I feel that it's very difficult when you read there's so much you know resources nowadays. You can look at in magazines that are covering Middle Eastern artists from Lebanon and Syria and North Africa to the Arabian Peninsula but there is no specific website that's showcasing interviews, specifically interviews with Khalidji artists. So I wanted to showcase and show a light show window into these studios because most of these times I am interviewing them in their studios. Older, younger Khalidji artists and just exactly shedding light on their experiences and there's drastically differences in terms of growing up pre-oil, post-oil, three generations. They're all having so many different historical narratives which parallel comes to art historical narratives and I've noticed and there's many exhibitions that are shedding a light on to this. There's a gap. I mean everyone knows it. There's a gap between these older and younger artists and the only way to bridge this gap is dialogue.


I kind of like crossing my legs a little bit, but if I have my leg like this, I don't want the camera to be able to see down my... There's that one thing that we did. I think for Dr. Giggles we can see like all the way down. Oh my god. Your wangs are... It's all folded up.  I'm hot in just this. Christ! Okay, get her down. And this was a movie that was recommended to us long time ago by one of our very good friends, Carl Woods. Picture inserted here. I don't even think I have a picture of it. Oh no, like one where he's all... He's all approving of it. I guess definitely to... Indiscreetly shoot like a picture of it on the couch. He's sitting at the table eating her. All his chicken or something. Alright.     Man, if you're in the movie... If you're in the movie... You want to see the movie? Okay, so we still got... Half hour left. We're not going to talk for half hour. You don't think we will, but... It's all got warm. Which one is this? Shivers. Here. Next door. Oh. You'll start it off there. Alright. Hello and welcome to another episode of... Frightfully forgotten VHS tale. Hello and... Oh, these pants are all tight. I just noticed that shirt. Oh, you just noticed it? I saw you come down with it but I really looked at it carefully now. It's my trucker's shirt. Alright. Okay, you ready? Yeah.  It's all this... It's all covered up. It's crawling with gooves. All this ectoplasm. The cleaners set up for the alarm at work. Hello. Do you have to go down there? I'm like... Well, I gave them my cell phone number because they're supposed to like text me if they set off their alarm. So I know that they're there. Right. And... Keep drinking. Now I gotta go to work and see if anyone's breaking in. This movie is directed by Peter Newbrook and it's actually the only movie he's ever... What? The Aspix.  He's eating Aspix. Okay. Okay, go for it now. And he's like the... I think it's Lord of this man or something like that.    I guess it doesn't matter. Yeah. Some fruit fly or something.  Some weird bugs all crawling on the camera?  It's probably something from... I've seen things like that before. As long as it doesn't go on the...  There, I think it's gone. That's what we eat in your room. Weed whacking. Whang whacking? Gotta get a whang whacker. You actually used your whangs. All these blades and everything? Okay.  Like painting a wall with my whang. Like I was all dipping my whang in this paint and I was all painting the wall.  It was all this gold paint too. Oh, that's funny. Hello and welcome to another episode of Frightfully Forgotten Horror Movies. Before we get started, what are we drinking? Today, we are drinking... Oh, that was funny. I don't even have a name for this. I was going to call it something like Brundlefly... Because it's kind of like a hybrid. It's like a jeans spliced. Brundlefly Pilsner Ale. Today, we're going to bring to you a movie... What are we doing? It was actually recommended to us through the channel by... What do we say? A person? A user? A fan? Yeah, you can say a fan. Okay. Michael Pataki. And he was in Halloween 4. He plays Dr. Hoffman. You don't know that. Myers could have been thrown from the bus. Lewis!    Because there's a lot more stuff that happens. But... You know, I don't know, finish it off there. I'm all screwed up in this one. I mean, I'm all sweaty.  I bet. We're crawling through a few crawl spaces for one of these. On that cart? Yeah. Just to get the beard? Some case way at the end?


Mom hires underage girl to babysit, she texts her, I'm baby. She lay curled up in a ball staring intently at the door and waiting for it to creak open. It was only a matter of time before it did but whenever it did she would be ready for him. Then she felt a lump in her pocket and remembered what she had brought along in preparation of him finding her. Yacenia Barragan was a busy working mom and her daughter 4-year-old daughter, Zoe, was her whole life. She was always there for Zoe as much as she possibly could but sometimes life got in the way. When she was forced to go away on a business trip one weekend and there was no way out of it, she had to figure out a solution right away. Yacenia turned over and over all of her options in her head. She had used up all of her sick leave and holidays to take care of Zoe when she had gotten sick. She knew that if she didn't attend the trip, there was a very high chance she could be fired. She had a very difficult decision to make. Yacenia enlisted the help of her mom to recruit someone to babysit and her mom suggested Yacenia's younger sister, Savannah. Yacenia was very unsure but her mom convinced her she had taken care of children before. Yacenia knew her sister was trustworthy but she didn't quite know why she still felt uneasy. Little did she realize but this decision was about to change the lives of all of them forever. Savannah was so excited to be asked to babysit her older sister's daughter. This was her chance to prove that she was trustworthy and responsible. However, she could never have predicted the unthinkable would happen. While she was on the job, she found herself in a situation that most adults wouldn't be able to deal with. Her worst nightmare was about to become a reality. As Marie dropped off Savannah at Yacenia's house, she couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was going to happen. She looked across the road and could see a car with tinted black windows parked there. Despite knowing the area well, she still felt a knot in her stomach. Marie was about to have her motherly instincts proven to be correct. Yacenia showed Savannah around and told her where everything was and gave her a list of numbers to call in an emergency. She gave her daughter a kiss and said her goodbyes. When her mom got the stomach-churning message it was already too late. Yacenia couldn't turn back. She knew she should have trusted her instincts. Yacenia was distracted as she left with explaining everything to Savannah. She never even noticed the ominous black car sitting outside the house as she left. As she drove away, Savannah and Zoe chatted and decided which Disney film they wanted to watch. Savannah was confident that everything would go well. Surely they would be safe in this quiet suburb. She was about to be proven wrong. After settling on watching, Frozen, Zoe and Savannah were having a ball singing along when they heard the knock. It couldn't be Yacenia back so soon, could it? She hadn't been told she was expecting a delivery either. As she looked through the peephole and saw who it was, she instantly knew something was very wrong. It was a man she didn't recognize at the door. He wore a black cap that concealed his features so she couldn't make out what his face looked like. He wasn't a delivery man or he didn't look like an official. Savannah decided to just pretend that no one was home and she snuck away from the door. Savannah decided to just pretend that no one was home and she snuck away from the door. If she ignored it, he would just go away. She was about to find out how wrong and naive she was. The knocking continued for a few minutes, then it stopped. Savannah sighed with relief. Everything was going to be fine. Then the doorknob started to turn. The man was trying to get inside the house, invited or not. The knocks began again, louder and more urgently. Savannah's heart began to race. He wasn't going anywhere. Savannah was starting to panic at this point. She was fully aware that if this man really wanted to enter, he could. At any second this man could come through the door and she needed to act right now. She caught Zoe by the hand and they went up the stairs to the master bedroom. Would he be able to get them there? She wasn't sure but it was their only hope. They ran up to the master bedroom and Savannah rapidly scanned the room for a key or even a barricade. Seeing nothing she could use, she turned around and spotted the en suite bathroom. The two girls ran in there and she locked them in. What she heard next made her blood turn to ice. The man was not letting up with his assault on the door and then Savannah heard a sound that shook her to her core. She heard the sound of the wood and the door splintering and she knew time was up. She held Zoe by the shoulders and looked her in the eye and told her that they were playing a game where they must be as quiet as they could be. Not one sound or they would lose. At this stage she could hear the man inside the house and her heart was audibly thumping in her chest.  She was terrified and shaking but she wasn't going to let anything happen to her little niece. As the minutes passed, she knew that time was of the essence before they were inevitably caught. Then who knows what he would do to them? Savannah was starting to sweat profusely. She ran her hand across her clammy forehead then rubbed her hands on her jeans when she felt it. She had totally forgotten she had it with her. Savannah pulled her phone from the pocket of her jeans and started to try to send a text with trembling hands. Her fingers were barely able to hit the right buttons as she started to text her mother. She accidentally sent, I'm baby, to her mother then one saying, he's inside the house mom, he's gonna hear me. She waited for a reply feeling more and more anxious. All the while she could hear the man stomping around the house and looking through drawers and banging doors. As she received her reply, her heart sank. Her mom was too far away to be able to do anything and calling 911 would take too long also. She couldn't allow herself to lose hope and to let down Yusenia and Zoe. Savannah and Zoe stayed still as statues and quiet as mice for what felt like hours until Savannah finally felt her phone buzz. Her mother had replied. Savannah's mom Marie managed to contact a neighbor and Savannah felt a wave of relief wash over her. She heard another man's voice then the intruder running. He knocked over several things on his way out then the door slammed. He had gotten away. Shortly after, she heard the police arrive. Their ordeal was finally over. Fortunately, the man had only managed to turn two rooms upside down and never found the girl's hiding place. The local police officers arrived with police dogs to sniff the man's scent and conduct an extensive search for him. His scent was everywhere in the house but it lead out of it. At that point Savannah's mother arrived. They were finally safe. Savannah's mom and sister were beyond proud of the brave and efficient way in which she handled the situation. Had she handled it differently, it may have been a much different story for herself and Zoe. Savannah is obviously happy to be alive but is still worried for other girls like her that he is still out there somewhere. Savannah is still processing the experience and has suffered with PTSD, depression and anxiety to a certain extent. She is attending therapy to talk through the experience with a professional. Eager to see the man dealt with, she has helped the police extensively in the ongoing search for him by helping to describe his appearance to them. Police have stated that the home invader is still on the loose in the local area but they are doing their absolute best to catch him. Savannah's disturbing ordeal is an example for all babysitters to exercise caution. While babysitting, always having your phone on you is so vitally important. You never know what could happen.

Yeah, no pressure, right? But we can't see the end point if your hand is there. I think I should actually open it now. I'm starting to think about it. Here, in the floor of the steel. Do you want me to tell you how you have to be in it? What? Tomorrow we're going to get you in it. What? That's okay. I'm going to get the other one. Do you want my calculator?
