Hey, I'm here with Dave Kurt, Program Marketing Manager in the Azure team, and we are going to talk about the different dimensions when it comes to Hybrid and he will talk about what you need to think of when you think about Hybrid Cloud. Hey Dave, how are you doing? Hey Thomas, I'm doing great. What about you? Doing fantastic. I always have the opportunity to talk to you and other great people. I always do very well. Speaking of that, I know that many people probably know you already because you do videos, you're doing blogs and a lot of stuff, especially when it comes to hybrid topics. But what does a product marketing manager do and what is your job and your background? That's a good question. What do I do all day? No, seriously, let's start with the easier one, background. I joined Microsoft in 2012 back home in Switzerland where our original come from. I held different roles. The last role in Switzerland was leading the Azure business for Switzerland before I relocated in 2018 to Corp. Here at Corp or as you know, you work for Microsoft too, it's interesting. A lot of us have the same job title, but what we're doing can differ widely. But as a product marketing manager in my particular case and many that work with engineering is we're working very closely with engineering on the products, what's the go-to-market strategies, what's the messaging, what's the value of the product or a solution that we deliver to our customers. Because of that, we do have the chance to talk quite a lot to customers, but also with engineering which is a very nice interface between the awesome things the engineering teams build and then see actually how our customers use that technology to transform their businesses. Now that is awesome and I know that in your job role and we have talked a lot in the past, you obviously have a first of all, a very good understanding of what are the customer needs, but also very much like the market trends and see what is actually coming in the future. So you're probably always a little bit ahead of me what you see what is coming. So speaking of all that, you obviously were working especially a lot with hybrid and the hybrid teams, all the product teams or feature teams which do hybrid services, I think for example like Azure Stack Teams, Azure Arc, all these teams, you worked with them. So in this session, we're going to talk about hybrid in general and you brought some very nice topics. So what are we going to talk about in this session? So in the beginning, we talk a little bit the difference in understanding or definition of hybrid Cloud and how that can differ actually quite widely. Then we're going to talk specifically about, I call them the five dimensions of hybrid Cloud or let's say the core scenario, which I believe if you want to be successful in the long-term with a hybrid strategy that you should consider before you start evaluating, let's say the product itself. Okay, that sounds awesome. I think when you came up with that proposal for this session, I was like, oh, yeah, that is definitely exciting because sometimes you don't even start thinking about it. You just heard like, let's do hybrid and then you just start with a service and that's it, right? But so I'm definitely looking forward to that. Now, speaking of hybrid, before we actually go into this, why do we do this? Like why actually do we think that hybrid is a big deal and what do we see there? Why is the whole effort? So I love the question as a very good question. So when we talk about why hybrid and as you can see on the graphic that Thomas just put up, it's the customers' environments are growing increasingly more complex. And that has a lot of reason. When you think about a lot of companies out there in the world, they grew very, very quickly, right? And then they purchased merchant acquisition, they grew their business that way, and then all of a sudden they found themselves, oh my goodness, we're about this company, we have to integrate them into our environment, et cetera, et cetera. And so what was interesting is when we ask customer what hybrid means to them, and just for all you listeners, if you come up with what you or how do you define hybrid, I promise you it's going to be very different than to other viewers. And so what I mean by that is in service, we have people that said, oh hybrid is my environment plus the hoster or my environment plus this company that we bought and we integrated those two systems and we have application that go across these environments. And depending on which analysts you talk to, Gartner, Foresters, there's many out there, they kind of like different define that. So there is some that say integration hybrid versus true hybrid, integration being the bread and butter of any company, they know how to integrate two systems. And so with that, it's extremely important that as a company like Microsoft, we take a step into that complexity because as you can see, there's customers that have hundreds to thousands of applications. They have a super diverse infrastructure, often they don't even just have server hardware from one OEM, but multiple OEMs. So that means they have sometimes different management tools to upgrade those firmwares and things like that. So it's spreads everywhere. If we add IoT and Edge because you know, smart buildings are now even during COVID where some companies use cameras to measure heat and other things, it even adds to that complexity. And then we have the whole cloud topic and cloud as we know, a lot of people say they have a multi-cloud strategy. I find often out when you dig deeper, it much more happened that for example, a department bought a different cloud provided than the other department versus having a clear written down strategy going forward. And so that's why because of that complexity and to in our case of Microsoft, empower every person in the organization to achieve more, it's super important that we realize this complexity and say, you know what, we're going to take a step into this to help you in your journey to achieve more. Yeah, no, I think that is absolutely great. I mean, I see those challenges a lot, right? And I always try to feel like, how does the IT department of a company feel? And when I look at this slide, it's like, okay, these are all the challenges they're actually dealing with. When you look at the first part, you said like managing hundreds, if not thousands of different applications. And the challenge there is not just like, they're all the same type of applications. Some of them are very modern applications written on modern languages. They're like losing pass services, even server less or are containerized. And on the other hand, they have all these traditional applications in VMs or even on physical machines. And they need to manage all of that and work with all of them. And the same thing as you mentioned about infrastructure and also multi-cloud, it is really challenging. And so like happy that we support our customers and also obviously support them wherever they are, depending on what their actual needs are and probably where they have invested in the last couple of years. Yeah, and then so another important layer to that is definitely also then, while a lot of companies are moving their workloads to the cloud, there are applications that stay behind for a variety of reasons. It's like you said, it could be something on a physical machine where it's like the golden rule, never touch a running system. And it just shows the menu of the container and some monitors in the office building or it's just not worth spending time on it. It could be because there's still a mainframe in place but it also can be that it's regulatory requirements, external regulatory or internal, just the company policy says you have to keep it on-premises or latency that you literally have a technical requirement where you want decisions to be reached immediately and not first travel to the next big cloud data center and back before the decision is made. This becomes I think the most evidently when people think of something like self-driving car, if your car would have to rely on the cellphone signal, which in Switzerland is quite good, but just in general, and then it pings back and says, yeah, you actually want to turn left there. It might be too late if you're going to get 100 kilometers per hour on the highway. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Now, I like this and I like what we're saying and I think that I really like that hybrid is like part of the Azure DNA, if you will. It's like not just something we basically just created a couple of months ago, but really had into our different services from the very early stages of Azure. If not, like even before that, I would say with our products and services and software we brought to our customers. And I love to have another program manager in a video a couple of days ago, and he basically said, look, there are obviously customers they want to use Azure, but for some reason, as you just explained, they can't. So let's just bring Azure to them and give them the opportunity to run Azure wherever they need it. And yeah, before we dive in a little bit into the hybrid strategy of Azure, like you said, it's in our DNA. So that's why we made these jackets. You probably can't read it. It says hybrid by design. And it's true, but here's the funny thing that happened to me. So working in Azure, we're very focused on Azure. And we did once a research where we interviewed some of the larger customers about what was, and one of the question wasn't that the research was, what was your first hybrid cloud workload? And everybody but one said Office 365. And it was like, we're so focused on Azure. And what you just said, Microsoft is hybrid by design. It goes way beyond just the Azure brand when you think about from Dynamics on-premises to Dynamics 365, if you think about exchange SharePoint, online exchange, online SharePoint with Microsoft 365 suite. So this is not a particular like, oh yeah, this Azure team came up with Microsoft and figured, oh, we got to do something in hybrid. No, it's like, it's core DNA. We grew with many enterprises on the data center side and then extended that to the cloud. And that's why I think we're very uniquely positioned to really understand that on-premise complexity in world because we've been in it for quite some time and then grew out to the cloud, which we're now in it for a while too, but there's definitely been some good learnings along the way. Yeah, absolutely. And I just want to highlight, I mean, that is like something a lot of people think when we talk obviously in the cloud, it doesn't mean that, and I always quote Jason Sanders on that. He basically said, look, we know that not everyone will have, will move everything to the cloud, right? It will not like, hybrid will be an end state for many, many customers. So they will run workloads on-prem. They will run workloads in the cloud. They will use the cloud to make their on-prem infrastructure even better. And so I love what we are doing here. So when we talk about from it now, just the Azure head, not the Microsoft head, so just from the Azure, what are the core four areas where Azure is investing in it? So one thing on top, you see the single control plane with Azure Arc being highlighted there. And that is really taking that step into that complexity which is covered and saying, how can we help you to get a view to drive governance and management across anything? And that means you're multi-cloud places. It means for your on-premises, you're your hoster that you use just everywhere. How can we bring you that unique view all together into the Azure portal so you have one single control plane to take care of everything? Another thing that you just mentioned, Thomas, is about how can we bring services to you because there are companies that want to use Azure services. They want to use past service to modernize how they're doing business or how they built your application. So how can we bring that to you, to any infrastructure? And not to sound overly marketingy, but I think it's a super true place here because as you see the next point, it's modernized data center revester stack. And what I like to highlight here is, again, if we go back to what Satya's marching orders are or vision for Microsoft is about empowering every person in an organization. He literally means every person in an organization. He doesn't say every person in an organization who exclusively uses Microsoft, meaning if you just bought a big purchase order of hardware at anybody and it's not Azure stack, it's just you bought hardware as you usually do. We're not telling you all to use the Azure service you have to buy my hardware. I say, oh, I completely understand my mission is still to empower you. And so here is an individual past service that you can run on that infrastructure. Let's say you use a different cloud than Azure and you have a team, a business IT team that has some resources there. They're using SQL servers. So they installed Windows servers, SQL server on top of it or a Linux server.  Thanks to Azure Arc, you could actually say, you know what, I understand you decided to use that cloud. I'm not gonna force you to change that. But what I would want you is, for example, to use a Azure Arc data service like SQL DBMI that brings that past service to it. So you have those advanced security features and compliance tools at your disposal while for them nothing changes. They use SQL and they're using the cloud platform of their choice. And then the fourth area is how do we enable that with to the whole edge? And you see Azure IoT highlighted there. And Thomas, you mentioned it, not every workload is gonna live in the cloud and that's gonna be true specifically when we think of edge scenarios, right? If that is a point of sales system at McDonald's or the check-in at the airport, there's gonna be some compute happening right there. You may wanna be able that if your internet connectivity were to crash that it stays operational, right? While you still aggregate data that you actually put up to the cloud, it could also be that you don't put all data up, but patterns of data, right? Let's say a country has certain privacy rules and you wouldn't be allowed to put my face that you scanned at the airport and scan it up but send it to the cloud. Maybe your country has a problem with that, but you could still record the patterns, for example, how I moved around in the store where it doesn't have PII where it just shows hey, the maturity of people come in, go left and see actually those casing of whatever you have there. And you know, that's my most valuable spot because the maturity of foot traffic goes there so you can charge your supplier some money to put their product there or however you wanna use it. I'm just saying there's a lot of these scenarios where not everything is gonna move up. And then as even I noticed in the US, I don't have the same internet connectivity speed and options like you have in Switzerland, I got quite jealous when you told me you have a gig up and down. I wished I have 35 up and that's about it. But yeah, choking aside. So when we think of Azure, those are four distinctive area. There are different products behind it but that's what we wanna enable customers. We wanna enable them to leverage existing infrastructure or other clouds and still bring them those Azure services they like. We try to help them with if they wanna modernize hardware, consolidate the data centers, whatever that is, branch offices or edge hardware, we got them, we got their back, we're having something to help them. And as well, the whole extension with IoT and then on top of it, that single control plane. And if we for a second look at Microsoft then you would say even Intune is in the Azure portal which helps you with your device and end points. IoT Hop is there where all your millions of sensors can connect to. So Azure really can become that single control plane if you will for your whole environment regardless of where the resources are located physically. Yeah, no, absolutely. I love what we're doing here. So three things I wanna quickly like repeat what you just said. Well, first thing I wanna clarify, it's not just one gig up and down. Like I have a 10 gig connectivity now just wanna clarify that. Thank you, I'm depressed. Secondly, as you mentioned, and I think that is very clear, like we don't have one, like just one single product that does hybrid, right? We see that customers have different needs and different challenges. And so that is why we have different solutions who can do hybrid and can actually can address that. And sometimes you need some of them like two, two or three together. Sometimes you just need one. Sometimes you can't bring maybe all of them. But really it depends on what you're doing. And the first thing I think you mentioned, or one of the first things, which I really liked, it's also, it's not that we creating these dependencies, right? We do not say, hey, you need to use our full stack and fades and like making that work. No, no, no. We actually kind of like have these layers where we offer you, you can have our cloud inspired infrastructure using our Azure Stack portfolio. But there's no need to actually do that for running, for example, something like an Azure Arc service like Azure Arc enabled data services or something like that. So that I really like that we actually decouple these things and we have a lot of customers that say, hey, but actually I wanna run everything from you and that is also great because we have the solutions for that. And so, yeah, no, thank you very much for clarifying that, that helps a lot. And that's actually the segue into the next topic of the five dimensions. Because if you're watching this and you might think, oh my goodness, that sounds complicated. They have many products as an example. I would say it all depends on how you define product. I could argue and say, I have one product, it's Azure. And Azure has many services and these services do certain things that help you achieve a certain outcome or a goal. And so while we hear a lot of these buzzwords of other cloud providers that recently got more investments into this hybrid reality, where it's like all about, oh, cloud provider A, this is their hybrid product or cloud provider B, that's their hybrid product. And that I think is a big difference of what you just mentioned if a platform by design is hybrid or if you have a product. Yeah, yeah. I think there is like really where we differentiate but let's talk very quickly about the five dimensions. I'm gonna write them just very quickly down. So it's basically, and then we see we're gonna discuss, I'm gonna bring one example from a consumer side because it seems like some people like that. So let me try to draw here five boxes.  So let's see is somewhat equal sizes. So in case my handwriting here is not as nice, just know that they're equally important. It's the five dimension is not, one is more important than the others. Now, when we talk about the core again of hybrid and let me move this very slightly here so everybody can see it better, then everything you do hybrid is meaning is at a minimum two different things coming together for the same outcome, right? And everything any application workload or let's say any workload we take, you have a app layer, you have like codes that runs a program, software, whatever. You also have the data layer. You have a networking or communication layer. So let me use communication here. You have identity, you have security and management. And so what I mean like when we talked about that hybrid thing and I say it's two things coming together. The very simple example I can do is my smartwatch and my smartphone. It's not one that has cell phone enablement but even if you have this one with cell phone enablement it kind of like to get the full value out of it. It needs to be coupled with that is the way it's not the same value. I still can use it disconnected if you will. It's not the same level. So what I mean when I say those five dimensions there are apps on this watch that run Strava to record my workout or whatever app I do. There is a data layer because it allows me to store music or audio books that I can stream while exercising where I don't need the other ones. So it has some form of database on it, right? It has data. It has communication. It talks with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi. If you have the one with a SIM card it also talks to cell phone services. And it has some form of identity. It knows it's me. I have a code to tip in when I wear it with the phone close by it knows me. And there's a security and management control plane in here. It's a smartphone who tells me there's an update. It's a smartphone where you can say automatically install updates. It's a smartphone where I can say deploy this app on my smartphone and on my smartwatch. And so that's why whatever it is could be exchange server, right? We could take that. You have exchange here. You have exchange over there. It has data. It has an identity component. There's like a connectivity. And so when I say before you just jump in on any specific product I would really sit down and say, okay, what's the workload I'm moving? And then the solution I need what do I get from the app side? Right? That could be app services. And we just talked about we can bring you services to any hardware or whatever. But it's also let's change the color here. It's like let's say visual studio. Visual studio. There is a visual studio online on this side. There is a visual studio desktop on this side, right? There is for the application layer there's runtime services that we have on both sides. We would have GitHub on both sides, team foundation server. There is a DevOps here. There is a DevOps on this side. So if your application developer Microsoft really provides you the tool to write applications for both environment. If that down here is like or that is environment A and B where it's not just on one side. It's for everything. And it can run disconnected in that sense. You can just do it for your own premises work. You don't need to use the cloud to use Microsoft DevOps technologies, et cetera, et cetera. There is like actually a version you can install. And the same holds true when we talk about data layers, right? We talked about Azure Arc data services that could run here where we have Azure Arc data services. But then we also have this thing called SQL. We have SQL over here quite in different flavors. We have other Azure data services here.  Doesn't matter where you are. You can install SQL server anywhere in any cloud, in any telco hoster, whatever it is you want SQL. You can have SQL on both ends and you can use just SQL in a hybrid manner. No problem at all. And on the connectivity side, without our communication side going too deep into it, there are sessions online also just made a recent vlog about it. How we uniquely positioned where you can really make Azure your central hub in your network communication. Also here we have from, if that is network technologies that you use from Hyper-V or HCI or whatever, there's like your corporate network, for example. And then Azure here actually has a lot of awesome and network services that you can use. This Azure VVAN to mention one Azure Front Door as an example that really allows you to easily connect all your branch offices. You can even do your data center traffic through the Microsoft backbone and things like that. So a lot of options here, again on both sides of the house and then identity, that's almost the easiest one, right? Everybody knows AD and then we have Azure AD on the other end, but AD also has Active Directory, Business to Consumer, Business to Business is an awesome solution again on both ends of the house that you can use, right? It's not just one thing, it's like everything. And then when we talk about security and management, we know there we have a whole bunch of suite. Azure Arc is currently in high demand. A lot of people wanna learn because it's so easily spread across everything, but the security jobs, you have Azure Sentinel as an example, you have the Azure Security Center. Those are all things standalone, even without Arc that you could use to secure your environments and on-premises there. We have the Windows Defender, we have all these security suites and as we just heard now in the Q2 closing, the security suite now makes $10 billion in revenues. It's a huge business part of Microsoft's security. And so here, again, from built-in in Windows, security stuff to the Azure Security Center, Sentinel, there is something across that whole thing. And when I look often at our competition, and I see, for example, they can be super strong in one of the dimensions as an example, or just in one area. But if you were to really look like is like, okay, specifically also in security, what we do with Microsoft 365 where you can encrypt files regardless of where they're located, where you can just invoke access to somebody from a file that he has or stored on his, any file share service that he wants to use of his preference, and I think that's the difference. And so for me, I would always use this as a thing when I say, what workload are we moving? And then see what does the solution do? And if you have natively integration because you have the best, the same on both sides, it's not gonna be in all cases, but I think the more dimensions you can check off because you have an identical service or a cloud version of the service on the other side, it's gonna make life a whole bunch of easier than if everything is just purely for integration because we all know every integration points is potential risk that you need to manage, that you need to try to govern, and requires to use different tools, like we talked earlier. And while you have this wide spread of different tools to take care of it, it is important that you start to simplifying that. You don't wanna add on because technology is gonna just increase. It's gonna be faster. We're gonna be faster time to market so you have to become agile. And if you have thousands of tools and different things, it's gonna be very hard to keep up, which in the end then also is a challenge for you with your time to market and situations like these. Yeah, no, this is when I saw this, this is super interesting to like, actually kind of like when you select products, you always, our solutions, you always look at like one of your problems probably, and then you look at the solution and you think, okay, that's a solution where we run in the cloud or then you have a solution, okay, this is what we run on-prem. But obviously when you come to like define a strategy, you probably need to make that step back and actually look at, okay, maybe I run this today in my data center, but maybe I wanna have it later on somewhere else or maybe for now I run it in the cloud, but maybe I wanna have the chance to use it also at my edge location or in my own premises solution. So having these options and knowing that there is a solution which like offers both worlds or even brings them together, right? I mean, we see that like in the management part you showed, right? There we have a lot of like Azure Arc which actually allows us to onboard services like we run on-prem, but then we also have management solutions, which for example, like Windows Admin Center or System Center and all that, which also allows us to like manage our own-prem environment, but then also at the same time suddenly can also be the gateway to actually connect these two worlds together. And I think that is something really to understand that it's, and again, you make absolutely sense here when we talked about hybrid, not just being a single product or something like that, being like a platform, I think that made absolutely a lot of sense now. I think like just not to go on and on because I know we can talk for this forever, but I think a important step is here is like how you say if you renovate your house, you need more than just a hammer. You can do a whole bunch of things with a hammer, but maybe you need a saw, maybe you need a drill, maybe you need brushes to paint. I don't know how easy to bear to paint with a hammer. So you need different tools, right? And if you have a partner, you're self-stored, that sells you all the tools you need to accomplish the task, think of Microsoft a little bit this way. We're honestly, all the cloud providers have very much a hammer or a drill perspective and what you just meant to be zooming out. And I'm not that big of a core phonetic, but I always say like, if you jump straight into the product and me as a person, if I jump into comparing cars, I may jump straight to horsepower, zero to hundreds of kilometers per hour speed. And if I just jump into the cars, I may come to the conclusion that I need a McLaren or a Porsche Turbo or whatever it is. But if I talk to my wife and depending on your financial situation, she might say, how are you gonna have the kids to soccer train in your McLaren, right? And so understanding the dimensions of the need or the requirements of your application versus jumping straight into a weight, marketing through that word at me or through this product at me and really come to the conclusion, okay? It's gonna be family trips, it's gonna be soccer practice and a lot of turn. And that's the reason why a lot of car makers make high horsepower fast cars with a lot of space to cater to demand.  Yeah, no, absolutely. Makes a lot of sense that you actually look at the ecosystem actually which a platform can provide, not just like, okay, one of the features if you probably find now really good, but then at the end, I mean, as the cloud changes anyway so fast, it's probably not that good in a couple of months if you look at it. No, this was really interesting. And it gives like a bit of view of like why we should actually look at, like what should we actually look at when we talk about hybrid, right? And we obviously have a ton of different sessions driving in to like the things you showed us like you probably mentioned, identity, security. We have a ton of sessions on Azure Arc and obviously a lot of other topics which are super interesting. So if you by the way wanna learn more on these sessions, if you wanna watch out the sessions, check out aka.ms slash itops talks. There you can find absolutely more sessions to drill actually down into the technology we just mentioned and discussed. So Dave, with that, I wanted to know like if I wanna now know more about what Azure has to offer in hybrid and if I wanna learn more about what we just talked about, where should people go? Anyway. No, I'm seriously, that is a really hard question. So one resource that Thomas just mentioned, the block that him and his colleagues are doing, I think that's a must follow. They consistently cover a lot of these hybrid topics in the IT ops talk. So I would definitely subscribe to this. If you are ready to take maybe the next step and you wanna more formalize it with learnings, then I would go check out Microsoft Learn, MS Learn. You can use any search engine you'll get there. And then as with everything else that you use YouTube for, I can guarantee you there is a Microsoft Azure, there is a Microsoft Clouds channel that you can easily subscribe. Mechanics is a very good place that gives you a quick nuggets information about hybrid and other technologies. And yeah, I would say those are the key things use MS Learn, IT ops talk.  Awesome. Thank you very much. So we will definitely put all the links in descriptions of this video. So you can easily find these resources and we have a couple more as well. So with that, I really wanna say thank you, Dave for taking the time to record that video and be part of this event. It was really helpful to understand the whole hybrid offerings we have in the Azure platform. And now actually we have that for a very long time. Actually, as you said, hybrid by design. So thank you very much, Dave. And people, if you wanna watch more sessions as I just mentioned and wanna drill down deeper into the technology parts, for example, for Azure Arc, for Azure Stack, for Azure Stack HCI, identity, security and many, many more, check out aka.ms slash IT ops talks where you can find all the sessions and videos for you to watch. So with that, I just wanna say thank you for watching and hopefully see you in another video.


I know what you're thinking right now. You're thinking, wow, another classic MMG clickbait title. No! Who wants to explain this one to me? We got Andrew Luck in his Civil War costume. And now we've got Johnny Football as the new best quarterback in Madden. The card art is sick. Okay, correct me if I'm wrong though. I know Johnny Football as Money Manzel. Is that not his nickname? Please let me know if it's Johnny Football over Money Manzel. But regardless, for anyone who doesn't play a lot of MOT, there's a promo called AKA, just any player with a nickname. And for this drop, we got this. Johnny Manzel, Johnny Football. Not only is he the fastest quarterback in the game, but he also has absolutely absurd throwing stats. He's a scrambler archetype and every single AKA card has a unique X factor that's activated when you start the game. I don't know what his is. I'm hoping it's a scape artist. If it's a scape artist, this card will really be the most broken card in the game. Now, normally I do a huge pack opening try and pull him, but I want to use this card. So let's just spend a million coins and let's ball out. Also, a massive shout out to Warby Parker for continuing to sponsor my videos. Warby Parker offers everything you need for Happy Your Eyes.

Thanks to Warby Parker and enjoy the rest of the video. This is my pack and play account. So our team is absolutely juiced. Insanely good. So Money Manzell should have some fun. Let's take a look at this X Factor ability though. I know he has something.  It's a scape artist. All right, let me give you a quick mud history lesson. Back in Madden 20, a scape artist was an ability, not an X Factor. So anybody could use it and it was way too good. It was so good that EA took a scape artist and made it exclusively an X Factor. So if you wanted to use X Factor, you had to activate it. And that's usually pretty hard to do if you're playing anybody who knows what they're doing. However, this Johnny Manzell is the first card I have ever seen that can start the game with a scape artist. You also have the option to use run and gun. Run and gun is nasty too. You get perfect pass accuracy while on the run. It's probably one of my favorite X factors, but so here's how it works. It starts on for three down, then it needs to charge for eight and then it's back again for three. So it's not fully busted, but it's still obviously insanely good. I also could run dashing dead eye on him to get those perfect passes while I'm running is not the worst idea. Actually, I'm going to give him protected bro. Protected plus escape artist is insane. Yeah, let's give him escape artist protected.  I'm going to give my boy recuperation. I could see him getting gassed out there. Well, you guys can take a look at the team. It's it's absurd. Gino Smith is our current quarterback. I'm sorry, Gino. I am writing you off Gino. I'm writing Johnny Manzell in and then our running back is Adrian Peterson. So I don't necessarily have to. Doesn't have to be all Manzell. So Manzell supporting cast is the Andre Hopkins, DK Metcalf, Cooper Cup, George Kittle.  We have insane running backs and then defensively, we're more worried about Johnny football, but let you guys see the defense anyway. It's a nasty defense. This is my mommy's credit card team. If you guys were wondering, I just get out my mommy's credit card. She doesn't know it's my daddy's money. Daddy doesn't ask what mommy spends it on because daddy's over this secretary. Okay, I'm sorry, Johnny football. Now, before we go into this game, we need to set a challenge for Johnny football. My challenge is 100 rushing yards, 250 passing yards, three touchdowns. I will be considering this game a loss if we do not complete that. Johnny football, Anthony Walker, Adrian Peterson. What do you got? DK Hicks, cow pits. Let's go.  I've never used a skateboardist. I'm so excited. All right. Well, let's make sure we have some good options on the field just in case. Key QB spies. That is not a QB. Oh, that is a QB spy.  God damn Johnny football is fast though. Oh my God. Oh, that's insane. Okay. So he's going to QB spy every time. She's kind of annoying.  Like we'll be able to run inside zone. We'll be able to run eye form. I think you know what I got to do? I kind of got to hammer this rock so hard that he stops QB containing. And once he stops QB containing, then we can really break one loose.  That's manned up. Oh, the hop. God damn. Oh. Just a QB spy. That was an actual 360 pass. Can we watch that back please? Did he just 180 on a dime? That's vintage. What do we got here? Oh, that's probably nope. Dude to have back Peterson. Yeah. With all the QB spies, it makes the run itself so free. That's actually insane. He's so scared of Johnny football that we can run like that. That's huge. Ooh, laser beam on offense. First throw goes 25. Nice play. I'm supposed to be on Kittle. Shit. I really don't want to be on him. That whip route is so open. Luckily, Kalomak got to him before he could think about it. He's got a block bow now. The pressure. 30-13. Yeah, shade outside. No corner outs. No corner outs. That was a deep whip route. Made it manageable though. Fourth and three. I'm going to go into a weird defense. I want to really confuse him here. I'm in Tampa two with some QB spies. I'm guessing pass. I think he goes whip route. One second to snap it. He gets it off. There's the whip route. We knew that was coming. He goes deep. Good switch up on the defense. All right, first and 10.  Can't we? Yeah, dude. We can literally just run this. He's so scared of Johnny Manziel that he's not even. He has no pass. He has no pass rush. He's not setting anything. He's got three down linemen and they're all QB spot. Now he's got to put somebody out there because he's nervous. So now we should be able to. That's the hope. Maybe not.  I tried to throw that away, but I actually stepped out. That was dumb. It's kind of annoying, but I think I can just keep running the ball. I'm keeping it. Damn. Paula Malus having none of that. I really don't know how this is going to look, but. Shit, that's may end up again. And we caught it. I'm bailed out. All right. Well, we've got our ability again. So let's set this double team and let's bring Adrian Peterson out. Oh my God. Escape artist. No way you're that. Am I tired? Yo, I had escape artist. I think he's just gasped. Hold up. We can check, right? How do I check fatigue? The game day factors well rested. Players fatigue is lower than normal. Nice. Just see how this looks. Multiple QB spies on me, but guess what? You just left Cooper Culp butt naked wide open in the middle of the field. Oh my God. Send him to prison. That guy is streaking in the middle of the field butt naked. You got to love that man. God squad rage quit. He's gone. Let's run it back, baby. Johnny football 2x. Tori Holt. Trevor Lawrence. Oh, it's about to say I've never seen that lineup. That is a Jags theme team. Honestly, I don't even feel like playing defense. I just want Johnny football to have it. I'm run committing Lawrence. Just throw it to anybody, buddy. Anybody.  The most poverty thing I've ever seen. Quit. Go. Go. Get them. I just read commit.  It's not even funny. Dude, what is it about run committing where people will only throw to the place they can't throw? It's like reverse psychology or something, man. All right. I just got CMC pits and Metcalf. Johnny football. Anthony Walker AP. Come on. Oh, good defense. Let's go SS linebacker Blitz.  Ooh. Nice juke. Oh my. This is a pass. I'm going to Blitz Minka, but I'm leaving. CMC unguarded. No way. What a throw, but he didn't get it. Fourth and inches. Oh, they gave me that. Did not look like they should have gotten that. All right. First and 10. This could definitely be a run playlist. Go on. Malik Hooker. It is to counter. Kind of run Malik Hooker. We're there forced him inside Walker cleans it up. Nice work. Let's go back to even six one. I'm just going to send a blitz so hot that he can't breathe. Second seven. Yes, sir. Oh, now you want to throw bad ball. Oh, that was lurked. Third and seven. Does he run it? No, you wouldn't dare. This is this is play action. Oh, now you're fucked. Wait, I just got galaxy brain so hard. That actually blew my mind. I 100% thought that was play action. All right, Johnny football. Let's go return to sender on this.  All right, seven. Oh, Rick. Rick, you want to put us in a good. Oh, I could have returned that. I bounced like a dummy. So let's let's do what we came here to do. Yeah, gentlemen want to block my hat back here. Damn, that was not what I was looking for. Give me something that can torch that man coverage in case we decide to heave it. Decided to throw it. Adrian Peterson caught that. Not entirely sure how. Third and 10. Is this man coverage? I didn't look. D hop burner. Let's go. Wait a minute. No way, right? My God. Johnny football. I said it was all D hop. I'm going to say Johnny football. This is video. Hey, you know, we got a skateboard. It's a pretty awesome ability. But right there, our team needed us to sit in the pocket and throw a laser. And that's exactly what we did. I don't know how we turn this into anything. No. Oh, what about a top throw two for two 75 yards in a touchdown, no two point conversion, whatever. Oh, Matthew Jude on ruin that run. Now he's passing. He tried to throw a CMC. It was probably a touchdown. I don't think I got back there. Luckily we got to him fast enough. He's going to throw boundary cow pits. Takes a huge hit for it. Does he actually run this? Oh, no. I dove too early. But I had a chance. I came up short. First and 10. That corner routes probably there. Wow. He's throwing lasers, man, throwing great balls. First and 10 bottled up by Quinn and Williams. Great work. Second to 13. Now he's going to pass probably to CMC. He goes play action. Wow. He's throwing insane balls. Rolling out to the right pressure on him. Nice. Does he go for two now? No. Does he let the same thing up twice? Well, no, because that's a zone. But George Kittle is wide open down the middle. See how this looks. D-Hop.  Let's see if this is man. You're going to leave that again. Dude, are you out of your mind? Five for five 150 in a touchdown. We're knocking on the door, right? Franco Harris, Tuddy. As long as he catches it. He's got no gloves on. You know, you never know. He's a fullback. Franco Harris in the end zone. That was about the most efficient offense you'll ever see. Shit. Let's just be ready for the run. I expect a run here. Hello?  Pitch. Come on, do the juke. Yeah. Yeah, do the juke. Now we're going to go Blitz. I'm on McCaffrey.  Oh my God, he had more. Let's get on his safety because he's going to run a stretch. Probably left side. Oh, jet sweep. Absolutely bottled. Great defense. Second goal. I'm going to go on Buddha. Pass. Nothing. Third goal. That's the kind of bounce search I was looking for last time. Minus 17, he's got to take a field goal here. That's a stop. Sort of, not really, but I'm very happy about that. He was knocking on the door and he got moved all the way back to the 23. He's like pretty exclusively running man coverage and it's just getting torn up by this. Okay. As I say that, we got absolutely nothing on this play. Johnny football is going to use a little stamina just to hawk this one. That's his first incomplete pass. So he's having a great game. I'm motioning AP so that it's his responsibility. Oh, and he switches off it. He doesn't want to guard anybody. This is scary.  I wonder if I can hit him on this corner route. There's a double team over the block and that's messed up. He said three. Okay, I can't tell if this is man. It is. Escape artist, baby.  Nice work, Manziel. 39. Are we in range? We're not in field goal range. No, we have enough time to throw it and spike it though. I think I know what I'm going to do. Oh, can you get out of bounds? 4th and 4th from the 45. I have an idea. I need him to play off though. I need him to play off coverage so I can hit a mean whip route. I don't know how this is going to work or if it's going to work. Put a double team here. 4th and 4th, I'm kind of looking for Kittle. Okay.  Wii ball. Oh, intercept it. It did use a lot of clock though. I don't think it's possible for him to get a field goal here, but actually, you know what it is. If he threw this ball fast enough and called the timeout fast enough, he could get a field goal here. So maybe that was too risky. Nope. Now it's just end zone. Yep, he gets nothing. Let's go. Little risky, but we hang on. All right, let's go first and 10. I'm going to start with a run here. Just been passing so much. Oh my God. Are you kidding me? That's a touchdown. I'm going to run the exact same thing. Beautiful, Franco Harris. Not going to be able to touchdown here because Javon Kurtz makes big plays right now, but those are, jeez, they're getting torn up. Now I'm going to go play action. D-Hop.  This is true, Johnny Manziel football right now.  There's no way I can just keep running this, right?  It's pretty covered. 39, we're going bunch. I think this is zone coverage, which means I'm going to hit George Kittle. It is not, it's man. Fuck, Woodson, she made an insane play. That's my fault though. Although, Money Manziel has a tackle now. Play action. I see him though. Good defense. I'm going with a really fast DB Blitz here. I got to look at McCaffrey. Yup. Oh no, nice juke. Okay, but still, he goes down. No first down. Okay. Jerry Jacobs. He's going to house it too. He's going to house it too. It's all, it was all offense. That was all defense. Jerry Jacobs. The limited Lions DB. What a play. I did not switch on. He did that all by himself. Give us a three point lead, a healthy three point lead. See, I'm so glad I didn't risk my two point conversion earlier because right now we got three point lead.  God, why do I get all these sick games in pack and play? I want them in wheel of mud. That's covered too. Where are you throwing? Second and 10, I'm just going to play this base. Not fancy on this one. He should have something open. I just wanted to see what he was going to do. I was okay giving up some yards there. Now we can blitz. Oh, you're done for.  Dude, we need to get Manzell back out here, man. I need some money Manzell highlights. I got to bring out. I got to bring out read option. Guess the snap. Guess the snap. Yes. Go get him. Go get him. Colomack. I got to go find McCaffrey though. He's going to put him on a wheel route. How much you want to bet McCaffrey wheel route? Okay. I lied. Nobody bet anything with me. I was not a wheel route. He gets 3rd and 15 here. He's not picking up a lot of yards. He's not going to be able to get much. What's he go for? Just going to block and he's looking at 14. Oh, no. Oh, this is a run up the middle.  Oh, no, maybe not. He's passing. Fuck. 24 to 20. I'm going Adrian Peterson here first and 10. Oh. We prefer a block there. Get a yard out of it anyway. Okay. Going to go check down AP. Might break the tackle. He does. And he gets the first. That guy wants to play. So man coverage. His users too far behind Kittle to be a factor there. Oh, zone. I love that.  And if it's not zone, I'm going McCaff. Zone. DHAP. God, he's been making just the most insane catches. So proud of him. Might be the exact same thing. Okay. Hot blitz. McCaff catches it. I think I have more contested catches today than I've had in like five games combined. It's actually nuts. Escape artist. Set RB as the decoy so I can take off. Dude, I'm not getting a hundred rushing yards of my boy though. Pass rush is too strong. But I should still have a read option, right? Gun trips. See, I've ran this before too. Let's make the read. Oh no, but he's sinking one over there. Make the read. Oh, he's sitting.  Jesus. He blew that entire play up. We're going for it here, boys. Big play. Got to believe, right? Fourth and five. Got him. Can't leave that. You can't leave that. It's free. First single. It's been all through the air with Muddy Manziel today. I'm hoping I can roll out right. Tried to step up technically. He gets a yard there.  Oh, great blocks. Peterson to the one.  He does. Oh, no. Fourth and goal. Don't think. Just play. Thinking is for the week. Should I have just ran that? No, I think he was going to tackle me. I can't tell. All right. Well, we got to get the ball back somehow, right? That's a hell of a way to start it. Two minute warning and he loses two yards. I think he only needs two first downs to just ice this up. Oh, and he sacks though. Third and 18. Wait a minute. Are we really going to get another opportunity? He's blocking everybody right now. Oh, no. Intercepted! Malik Hagar! We've been granted a golden opportunity. I'm annoyed. I'm annoyed with this D-line.  It's all I want to do. All right. We got to sit in the pocket and throw lasers. We know that now. Well, we've known that. We've known that. That that's how we have to win this game. Okay. See how this looks. Metcalfe. Block. I'm blocking Peterson. I'm blocking Kittle. We cannot let that happen again. This should be able to get him though. Cooper Cup tight window on its fourth and 10. Dude, I'm so mad about that other one. It was so free. I'm gonna just need some time, boys. Oh my God, he's wide open. And there's more pressure. What was with that? I'm blocking seven people and he's in my face every play. Damn, man. So many wide open guys on all of that. I didn't have any time to throw them. It's gonna go with a big pitch here. It's gonna go down. I mean, I, or no, I don't. I use the timeout to call a better play. So I don't have the timeouts for this anymore. Wow, what a bummer. Ooh, nice run too. Third and three. I won't use my timeout here. I'll use it on this next one. I'll let this one tick. Let's bring a Buddha over. Third and three. Just a run, right? Could be to the side. Fourth and two. He punts and we have another 30 seconds. Oh, I'm so annoyed. I'm actually so annoyed. There are so many wide opens on there.  Oh, I really hope I beat you now. That's just a bad ball. What am I throw? I don't know what to throw. I don't have anything. I'm just, I'm in a box.  I'm throwing that. D-Hop's gonna catch it. We got to get up there and spike it. Verse and 10. Spike, please. 12 seconds.  You better hope I don't do this right now. All right, let's go deep in this playbook. Let's find something that we don't run. Something unorthodox that he's not going to be ready for. I don't even care. That's the difference between the 12 and the 17 right now. Does not matter to me really at all. I don't want to be an empty. Let's just go base bunch. I don't know. I don't know. D-Hop could be here on this corner out. It's kind of what I'm looking at. I'm scared of the pass rush. There's the D-Hop corner out.  We prefer that if he catches it on the one, we lose the game. I think we look at the same thing, but now we throw the post. I just throw the post to DK Metcalfe and we just hope that motherfucker comes out of this. He might go Metcalfe. Oh my God. Fourth and 15. Final play. I think if anything, it's Cup. You're lying. No. Look at this. He can't see the ball. No, he's fully turned around, right?  Wait, he got on his Xbox to message me and he's playing on PCs. That was an awesome game. Shout out ICs for one of the best games on pack and play.  Johnny Football. I don't blame that game on you, Johnny Football. I blame that game on me. You were there for it. That's a crazy animation. I pray they take that animation out though. That's so wack. Hey, GG's boys. I love y'all. Johnny Football, baby. It's Money Man's out. If it was Money Man's out, I'm out of one. Enjoy the rest of your day. I love you. Peace.


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel and I do appreciate you being here today I bring you another Destiny 2 video and today guys I want to talk about the possibility of old classic Destiny 1 weapons actually returning. Now I know these are known as reskins in a sense that I am going to suggest but these weapons today I want to check out might in fact not just be reskins as we know them but actually weapons we loved remade. For instance the truth is returning, the truth will be a weapon we all remember from Destiny 1. The weapons I want to talk about today I don't think are exotic but indeed they could be but actual old weapons we loved just remade bearing the characteristics we loved about them back in the day. Because if we look at some of these weapons we have seen in the season of uplands preview many are very reminiscent to those of weapons we loved in the past starting with the IS Luna but before we go any further guys if you do enjoy the video leaving a like really does help me out and I do appreciate that support. Okay so the IS Luna, I think we all noticed this straight away within the season of uplands trailer when we saw this I mean this model this hand cannon this weapon it's the IS Luna and I also think it's a new model to Destiny 2 as far as I know I don't think there is any other weapon shaped as the IS Luna or any reskinned IS Luna in the game so I'm not certain on that but I don't think there is and it's for this very reason I do believe this weapon will be indeed some kind of relative evolved version of the IS Luna and if you think about it people this idea isn't new either bungee you've already done this in Destiny 1. If you guys remember the old school water glass some of the weapons from there the Atheans epilogue the corrective measure the fate bring out a massive fan favorite these all started out as legendary weapons but they did return later on in the game as exotics and that's just one instance of bungee bringing back all the weapons as new and improved ones we've seen it already as well in Destiny 2 we've seen old legendary weapons basically brought back with kind of updated versions and a little added color this happened with the forge we saw many forge weapons being nothing but older weapons with newer perks so the idea has been included before so our bungee taking it one step further and bringing back a few of our favorite weapons from Destiny 1 giving them an evolved look but allowing them to keep the qualities we loved about them back in Destiny 1 I think this might be the case people so yeah the IS Luna a fan favorite for many many people all chasing that perfect role with rangefinder and looking in chamber or whatever that perk was you wanted could this new version be hold a role with a new version of look in the chamber you never know the IS Luna I believe within its lore also was related to the Horde moon I mean I could be wrong here but I'm pretty sure it was or its name was related somehow correct me from wrong down below in the comment section people also guys look at this sniper rifle again it looks very reminiscent to an old fan favorite known as LDR5001 how many of you people how many of you snipers out there would love to see this return also look at the shotgun look at the fusion many old Destiny 1 weapons were made on these base models now I know this is bungee and reskinning is what they do amazingly it's just the fact that this IS Luna reskinning it's got me thinking so I just had to document my thoughts plus I've also seen many folks on my twitter feed speculating the same thing so what do you think about this let me know down below in that comment section reskinned weapons remade weapons or new reskins what do you think okay so let's move on now guys take a look at this image everything on here looks either exotic or has something going for it well that is everything besides this white hand cannon we see at the center why is this here why is this special well people I think I might have the answer if we take a real close look at this weapon one would argue that this is the base of the foreign hand cannon exotic when you compare them like this side by side or even overlay them this weapon is 100% the weapon the phone was built off so could this be the rules or something of similar I'm seeing again loads of people on my twitter speculate over this and maybe there's something to it now I know within the lord a rule shouldn't no longer exist but that goes for many things that are in the game now so let's forget the law for a quick second what I believe this weapon will be is a quest weapon in which we as guardians have to work towards and evolve this weapon as it is probably isn't the rules or the final form of this weapon that will be that of something we evolve along the steps of a quest towards the lumina an exotic quest which comes on July 2nd so the lumina this quest this is why I believe we are seeing this white hand cannon stand amongst these other special gear pieces this is a hint purposely bought in place by bungee if we are to take a closer look at the lumina we see white or yellow fawns those are normally and commonly found on roses but if you ignore them also ignore the white this weapon bears you can see the black the darkness of this weapon looks to be that of the foreign hand cannon so I definitely think these weapons are tied somehow also the fact the base of the handle has what looks to be a rose on it so yeah there's definitely more to this what do you think fawn malfeasance lumina all apart the same family you tell me let's just hope this isn't an ornament for the malfeasance I mean that would just be a right kicking the balls for sure okay so moving on and we also see by the way people to return of the truth rocket launcher this comes via a quest line on June and we also see the return of the Kepri sting hunter exotic gauntlets these exotic gauntlets had intrinsic perk called the touch of venom gain invisibility after crouching in place for a short time melee attacking an enemy from behind while invisible delivers four times the damage fun times so guys by the looks of uplands we are getting many reskinned weapons and I know that annoys many people but to me I'm fine with it content is content and destiny is who needs it whether that's old recycled rewards or not it's still better than getting no content whatsoever so I will take it besides that the raid the new six player activity and so forth is all new stuff so I'm good with them recycling old stuff also but I know many new people don't agree with me on that which is fine let me know your opinion on that down below in that comment section but anyway guys just a quick video with my opinion on possible classic weapons returning and a new interest in what could possibly be the rules coming under a new name of Lumina we will see people if any new info drops I'll be sure to have you guys covered right here on my channel and at north I am out I hope you guys enjoyed the video if you did leave me a like we will just have out and hopefully guys I will see you on that next one


Hello I'm Pastor Joey Rogers and I want to welcome you to this episode of Prophecy Files Update. Recently here in the Sanctuary of Pace Assembly I brought this Bible prophecy information in a message that deals with when the restrainer stops restraining. The power of the Holy Spirit is the restraining force in the world through the church inside of the believer. But we're watching inside of city after city and throughout our nation and the world for that matter where lawlessness is abounding and the Bible says when that takes place the love of many will wax cold. These are the conditions that we're living in and you need to be informed and have an understanding of the times and know what you need to do. That's the reason why we are bringing this message to you in this format. So join me right now for Prophecy Files Update and I'll be back at the close of this episode. This is perhaps one of the most important messages that I could bring in my lifetime and I will tell you that there is no doubt in my mind that we're living without a doubt in the last days as it's spoken by Jesus Christ Himself. I want to say a couple of things before that I dive in deeper. First of all everything that I say today is well documented and you can find it easily. It's not just one resource but multiple that I look to to confirm what things are being said. So all of the statistics and all of the articles and things that I will bring to you today are completely out in the open.  But I will tell you today as the people of God, it becomes necessary for us to be like the children of Isikar and that is that we are to know this is one of the tribes of Israel. We are to know two things. We are to understand the times and to know Isikar did what Israel was supposed to do. That is a spiritual application for us. We are to understand the times we're living in and we are to know what we're supposed to do. If the righteous scarcely be saved, the Bible says, where will the center in the ungodly be? If the church barely or believer barely gets by in their walk with the Lord, where does that leave a world today? I want you to understand that everything that I'm about to tell you, there may be some that are even offended and some that don't want to hear it. I never thought I would see the day when we would come to the point, even while I was still on this planet, that people would not endure sound doctrine, but heap to themselves teachers having itching years. There's two groups of people, those that want to be informed and understand what's going on. And then those that want to willfully live ignorant as I drove past houses and peoples today on the way here. I was reminded of the fact that even as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of Man. And here's the facts that it wasn't raining the day that Noah and his family went into the ark, but the promise of rain and judgment was to follow. People were buying and selling, giving and marriage, doing whatever they wanted to do just like I saw today. There are some cutting their grass and watering their lawn and taking out trees and doing whatever they want to do. And that's exactly the conditions that it's going to be when the sudden event that is next on the calendar of God that is a signless event will take place, call the rapture of the church. I must say to you today that you're sitting in a rare place because the bottom line is, is that 98% according to the statistics, 98% of the pulpits of America will not touch Bible prophecy or the book of Revelation. So what you're hearing today is not heard by and large around the world and from most pulpits. Most people want and preachers in the time we're living in to try to corral people and try to even get them to come to church during this COVID time of which this past week, the statistics have gone up that one plus out of six people will not return back to church at all. And that Tom Rainer, who was one of the pollsters of the Southern Baptist Convention said that there will be, as he amended it from a few weeks ago, there will be 10,000 churches before December that will shutter their doors, never to open again. So if the righteous scarcely be saved, where will the center in the ungodly be? There will be plenty in this presentation and this message that I bring to you today that will cause your hearts to weep and perhaps even get discouraged. But if you'll stay to the end of this message, I promise you, for the people of God, this is the most encouraging message that you could ever hear in your life. I could preach to you about your marriage getting together or you getting your finances together, pay your tithes, your offerings. I could preach to you about how to keep your mind in tune with God and I could teach you how to love one another and preach to you and the Bible is full of all that. But nothing will cause you to get your marriage together, to get your mind right, to love one another no matter what their race, color or creed is to be able to serve the Lord with gladness and look for his imminent return like the message of the imminent return of Jesus Christ. It'll make you get your mind right. If you knew you only had a few hours to be able to make things right with your family, how many of you would need to get on the phone right now and call somebody? Don't raise your hand because I can tell you whatever it is that would push you to that point, you need to do it right away. The urgency of the hours upon it. And for many people that have heard me preach in prophecy files before, this one today is unlike any other that I've presented in my multiple years of doing this. When I say that it made me quake in my shoes, I'm telling you what I'm going to bring to you today is not only serious, but we are closer to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ than what we could ever believe. I want to speak to you for a few moments this morning about when the restrainer stops restraining. When the restrainer stops restraining. We just read about it in Second Thessalonians. Change is happening so fast that somebody said, what is the new normal? I'll tell you what the new normal is, change. If you're not used to things changing quickly, you better get used to it because one moment you wake up and everything's fine to do this right here. And the next day you get up and everything's changed just like that. Time and change are two of the constants that are in this earth. Time is going to keep on marching on and change is going to happen so rapidly. And that alone is one of the signs of the last days. The Bible says that knowledge would increase transportation, all those kind of things. And if seeing what you're seeing right now in the streets of America and around the world and the events that are taking place is got you in a place of fear or it's got you in a place of I don't know what to do or what is anybody going to do? What are we going to do with the situation around us? If that's where you are today, then I suggest that you make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life right now. Right now before I even go on with this message, you better make him the Lord of your life because ladies and gentlemen, if you can't handle what's going on right now, you certainly won't during the tribulation period. What you're seeing right now is tremors to the tribulation that is going to be far worse than anything that you've seen that's going on right now. The Bible says that in the last days, Jesus said in Luke 18, seven and eight, and shall and shall not God avenge his own elect, which cried day and night into him, though he bear long with them. I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? The things that I'm about to show you in the articles and the categories of the signs of the times that I've broken down for you are just a small drop in the bucket. There's no way that I could bring everything, even that I have studied to the table for you to be able to understand. It's a small smidgen of just what's going on in our world, but it's a sample to let you know. I want you to understand that I don't preach from the newspaper to confirm the Bible. I preach from the Bible. And it's confirmed by the news that's going on on your daily internet. So what I'm saying to you is Bible based, not press based or media based. And I want to just say this before we get any further to Jesus wins. Whatever it looks like right now, Jesus will win. And those that will walk with him by faith will be more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus who loves you. God is not appointed the church under wrath, but that does not mean that man is not going to stir up the wrath. And there may be things that we as the church and believers have to go through between now and the rapture of the church. The restrainer, who is, and I will go ahead and tell you, is the Holy Spirit inside of the life of the believer functioning through the church as found in second Thessalonians chapter two has been here since the day of creation. Bible says in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The Bible tells us down in verse two and three that the word was their present and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the deep. The spirit of the Lord moved and the spirit of the Lord was the mover and the restrainer. It was darkness all around, but the Holy Spirit came in and pushed back the darkness. And God said, let there be light and there was light. He's been restraining lawlessness and darkness ever since that day in our behalf for generations and decades and centuries and thousands of years. The Holy Spirit has been doing this because of a long suffering God who's not willing that any ship perish, but that all should come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. But there is a time and I believe that this has been in my spirit now for months. There is a time that we're in right now when the restrainer, the Holy Spirit will stop restraining evil and darkness. And he will do that because of the scripture and we'll show you here in a few moments of the fact that people begin to fall away and love not the truth anymore. And when people do not have interest, I'm talking about God's people. I'm not talking about that world. I'm talking about God's people lose interest in God and forsake the assembling of ourselves together as the manner of some is, but the Bible admonishes us that so much the more as we see the day approaching when it's not interesting to you anymore and you begin to be falling for deceit before God loses the entirety of his collective elect. The restrainer will have moved out of the way. We're here at this moment when the restrainer, whether you know it or not, even in spite of all that's going on is restraining darkness like we have never seen before. But it is encroaching. I'm not so sure that there are some cities that are in the United States right now that the restrainer has backed off because he can't find 10 in the city. It's been interesting to me to find out that many governors have said that you can't gather any more than 10 in that congregation. 10. Isn't that interesting that they would select 10? Why not nine? Why not five? Why not 14, 18, 10, 10? This is the same number that God calculates our tithe, our offering. It's the same number that says if you have a 10th of that city, I will spare that city. But in the Twin Cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, they could not find 10 righteous and so judgment came. I'm going to share with you some categories of signs that I see that are on the forefront this morning. And all of them will be based out of Scripture. Here are some general signs of what's going on according to Bible prophecy. There will be the Bible says population explosion that's happening right now. There's 7.5 plus billion people on this planet, which is part of the problem they say with climate change. Increased knowledge according to Daniel 12.4 increase of violence. The Bible says would be marking the last days, increased transportation. In other words, we'll be going to and fro the Bible says some of the things that are not on the articles here today. I'll just let you know they're working on another supersonic jet that can get you in a couple of hours into Europe. This is a fulfillment of Bible prophecy, rapid disintegration of society according to 2 Timothy, increase of birth pains. The birth pains of a woman is prevailing with with child. Those things coming sooner, faster, closer together. I want to show you the timeline of the events that are about to take place. This is the sequence of order. I want you to understand that the pre tribulation rapture of the church is what the Bible is teaches us. There are many people that are believing today that it is a mid tribulation rapture or even a post tribulation rapture. And let me make sure that you understand what I'm talking about. The pre tribulation rapture would mean that before the seven years of tribulation, Jesus Christ would come. That's what I believe the Bible teaches. It's also what I believe that this, of course, this church teaches that it's what I've preached and I believe that to be fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Some believe it will be in the three and a half year mark when the Antichrist exposes himself as the Antichrist and some believe it will be at the second coming. They want to equate it with the second coming, the Battle of Armageddon Revelation chapter 19. Well, it is the pre tribulation rapture that fits right into the biblical prophecies. And if you want to look at what that looks like, everything surrounding that deals with the nation of Israel. Nothing fits the pattern of what happens to Israel in the seven years of tribulation like that of the pre tribulation rapture. So here we are for those of you that don't know what the sequence of events God has already outlined the end from the beginning. I want to say that again. He outlined the end from the beginning. He knows the end from the beginning, the Bible says. And why is that so important? Because God has already written the book. He's already closed the book and it's already written down and it's going to happen exactly like God says. And so here is what God said is going to take place. We're living in the present age right now. The rapture of the church is about to take place. It is a signless event. And I say that to you because what I'm going to share with you are signs concerning the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. But ladies and gentlemen, the rapture will not have any signs according to the scripture. So what I'm sharing with you is going to be signs of his second coming right here. It's important for you to realize the rapture takes place. We, the church, every believer, every Christian is lifted off of this people planet in a sudden interruption, a sudden snatching away. You'll leave everything behind. There will be no cars, no you hauls. There'll be nothing that you'll take with you. Neck and I came into this world, Job said, and neck and I will leave. You're going to get some brand new clothes. It's called the glory of God, like Adam and Eve had in the beginning. We will be taken to the judgment seat or the behemoth seat of Christ and the marriage suffer the Lamb. And for seven years, the church will abide in heaven. While on this earth, all of hell will break loose during the seven years of tribulation. I remind you now that what you're seeing happening in the streets of America and the pandemic and everything else that's going on is nothing compared to what it is going to be like during this time of the seven years of tribulation. And because of the seven years tribulation is a given period of time to say that Jesus could come back and we don't know the day nor the hour when he will come again to say that it's at the end of the tribulation period is absolutely not biblical. Now what does take place? For seven years we spend what would be the equivalent of seven days as it would be in the Scripture. That's happening in heaven at the marriage suffer the Lamb. Hell on earth happening during the seven years of tribulation, the pouring out of God's wrath. And then all of a sudden the armies of the world gathered together under the leadership of the Antichrist in the battle of Armageddon in the Valley of Megeto. In that location they will gather together and the Bible says that the blood will rise to the horse's bridle. But before all of humanity is wiped out there's going to be an interruption. That an eruption is going to be Revelation 19 Jesus Christ coming back on a white horse with all of the saints of God of all the ages riding with him. This is important for you to understand because in the sequence of events what you're seeing right now and what many people in the media and even Christian people are saying is this Armageddon are we in the tribulation or is this the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and is this pandemic the black horse rider that's coming? Absolutely not. Before any of this could transpire there must be the sequence that I will share with you in a few moments and the revealing of the Antichrist.  His robe that's been dipped in blood and on his vesture is written King of Kings and Lord of Lord help me not to stop and preach a little bit right here but I'll be riding with him and he'll probably have to say Rogers get back I'm the leader of this parade. He comes down and destroys the Antichrist and all the armies of this world that are against him and of his kingdom will come the thousand year millennial reign where he will sit on the throne of his father David. I've walked across the Kidron Valley they walled up the eastern gate ladies and gentlemen and said that they've heard the Messiah is going to return so they planted a graveyard right out in front of it walled it up the Muslims did and said there won't be any Messiah walking through here but Jesus will walk across the Kidron Valley just like he did when he was exiting he'll come right across that valley walk right through the eastern gate blow that thing wide open the graveyard will have no one in it because all of the Jews that their feet are planted towards the eastern gate literally get up and walk with him right on into the city and he'll sit down on the throne of his father David he will judge the nations and the lamb will lay down with the lion the child will pick up the adder and it won't bite him it will be a thousand year millennial reign and after that thousand years the enemy Satan is loosed a little bit and he tries to attempt another overthrow but with the power of God and the fire brinstone from out of heaven the book already says this he will be destroyed and cast into the lake of fire with the beast and the false prophet and everybody else who will go with them the great white throne judgment will take place and every person that has rejected Jesus Christ both living and dead will rise to meet God himself be judged by the word of God you hold in your lap today and because you have rejected Jesus not because you didn't smoke didn't drink didn't chew and go with those who do because you rejected Jesus Christ you will hear those awful words depart from me you worker of iniquity lawlessness I never knew you cast into the lake of fire by the millions and billions they will fall into an endless fall into the abyss and they'll never be an escape eternity is a long time without God and then God is going to recreate the new heavens and the new earth and he will make it like it was in the brand new beginning of time and God himself will be our God and of his kingdom there shall be no end I plan to be right there in the city of God say a man somebody what's happening in our world corona virus is taken over our society right now here it is that there is the things that are happening in our world we have never seen before just like this this and I will say this to you now this is a linchpin for the new world order coming in now I'm saying to you that the virus is very real and people have died and people are suffering with it today there is no doubt about it but my friends the statistics and you can check them out yourself show very clearly that there is far many more deaths that are occurring in different other categories than what this corona virus has been doing now I'm going to tell you my personal opinion right here about this this is my personal opinion you so you take everything else and hold that to the Bible but this is my personal opinion that this is bioterrorism there was an arrested professor of a United States college that was arrested going into the Wuhan labs these things can all be found out online check it out in two or three resources I will proceed what's the deal with this virus and the evolution of this pandemic well let me tell you ladies and gentlemen there is no doubt the word of God lets us know more than 127 times in the word of God concerning plagues pestilence and those things being mentioned in the word of God does God allow those things to take place he most certainly does to get the attention of the people all you got to do is read the book just read the Bible God allows it to get the attention of his people how important that it is that we pay close attention and don't get caught up in the fear of all what is going on right now let's look at the signs in the nations here's what the Bible says in Luke chapter 21 verse number 24 and they shall fall by the edge of the war of the sword and shall be led away captive unto all nations and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles of the times of the Gentiles being fulfilled and there shall be signs in the sun signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars and upon the earth watch this distress of nations with perplexity please notice this we have not seen two hurricanes come into the Gulf in our lifetime but here we have experienced what the scripture says and the sea and the waves roaring let's take it a little bit further right here men's hearts watch this failing them for fear for looking after those things which are coming on the earth for the powers of heaven shall be shaken please notice these scriptures that concern the nations these scriptures let us know what is happening from the Bible perspective and it leading up to the coming of the Lord the reestablishment of Israel Arabs hostility towards Israel is growing and yet there are peace plans that I'll talk to you about in just a moment Russia is still a menacing power to Israel asian nations China with a 200 million man army they're the only ones on the planet that could do that here is wars and rumors of wars kingdom against kingdom this is ethnicity against ethnicity so far before anybody started talking about race wars and all of that the Bible was already describing it in Matthew 24 the reunification of Europe which will come out will be a unified grouping of people which will make up what will be in Daniel's writing the old Roman Empire and out of that will come the Antichrist and one of the most important things you can understand both in Daniel to and multiple other passages of scripture is we are moving toward a one world economy here's what it says this is the leader Gordon Brown he's the ex-prime minister of of the United Kingdom Gordon Brown calls for a global government to tack the coronavirus this is a leader calling for the global government here's another leader right here calling for a global government the UN chief says this the UN secretary general initiates a new global deal for a fairer world order now we've heard about new world order since George Bush the first president said I'm bringing about we're going to bring about a new world order but that evolution has picked up speed like we have never seen in our lifetime this is important for you to get a hold of please note this this is what else is happening in the nation the according to the article experts are warning a horrible surprise coming with a United States China war within six months you don't think that because of what's happening in the economy the United States and the crashing of the Chinese economy and the blame being put on them for the Wuhan virus and multiple other things that they're just going to sit there they have been controlling please go home please go home and just turn over everything your toothbrush your toothpaste turn over the vase and the lamp and everything else and read at the bottom made in China made in China made in China everything has been made in China including all of the medications that you take on a regular basis most of the antibiotics and so forth is made in China if we knew which location they were we might be apprehensive to be able to even take some of that stuff but I can tell you that they're not going to sit here especially this past week when they launched into the South China Sea a missile to let America know that we're still here and we're ready and preparing ourselves for war the Bible says that 200 million man army is going to come out of the east and so you need to get ready for that because the provocative things that are taking place in China right now is a signal right out of the word of God in fact take a look at this map because many people have said a few days ago and for those of you that are not familiar in this area right down here is where the UAE is of this new peace deal that's taking place but this map describes and shows you the war of Gog and Magog and Ezekiel 38 and 39 these nations are named in the word of God specifically as those that are going to come against the nation of Israel from the far north and all of the east west and the south that's what is happening and regardless of how many peace plans are made this war is going to take place according to the scripture so let me say it like this when you see the king of the north which is Russia coming down toward the Middle East and through Syria as they've already set up a camp and they're never going back Russia has got a place located there and you see the king of the east China pushing towards the Middle East and you see the king of the south which is the Arab nations and Islam and you see the king of the west the old Roman Empire in Europe rising up when you see those things taking place lift up your heads Jesus Christ is coming in a moment that we think not let's look at signs and nature real quick according to the article right here or the statement does God speak through nature if you'll read your Bible you'll find out that God allows and uses nature to get the attention of people what are we seeing right now all you've got to do I mean our own weather forecaster here right here in Pensacola said a few days ago when he saw two hurricanes coming up he said never in my lifetime of forecasting have I ever seen anything like this this is historical this is unprecedented and all these words that are being used I have in my in my satchel in the back the book The Vision written in 1973 by David Wilkerson and I will tell you all of these things were predicted even the statements that are coming out of the weather forecasters mouths what's going on here's what the Bible says would take place prior to the coming of the Lord watch this in Scripture he said that there would be in Matthew 24 Mark 13 Luke 21 that there would be famines and earthquakes plagues signs in the heavens you know that the United States government has now set up a hotline for those that might see UFOs anywhere so you can report your UFO sightings I can tell you pastor you believe in UFOs I absolutely do I already know what they look like to they got six wings with two they cover their feet with two they cover their eyes and with two they fly through the heavens and they cry holy holy holy is the Lord God Almighty I'll save that for another day unusual signs in the heavens droughts and famines and flood and fire unprecedented so what's going on today let me give you a little short rundown of the events that have been happening even since the beginning of this year how many I don't even need to ask this question how many of you like to go ahead and pass from this point straight into 2021 you don't raise your hand because you're afraid to know what is 2021 gonna bring right here's some things that are happening Locust Plague of Biblik these are headlines of of articles not written by Christian authors Locust Plague's a biblical proportion threatened the African famine an African famine now they're all over the place and different breeds of them are all over the place in China right now Locust Plague Locusts world economy projects to shrink for the first time since 2009 historic unprecedented flooding swamps the southern United States it says global crop failures continue that was in February that was before the Iowa hurricane force winds that came through that wiped out the corn crop ladies and gentlemen this is a reason why you need to be a people prepared because the corn crop and the grains that we typically get not only to eat but to replant have been wiped out in such an unprecedented way through Iowa through a Draco storm they call it that is the equivalent of a hundred plus mile an hour winds that went through there and flattened the corn crop we're the breadbasket of the world in many cases and that's the reason why you're going to see different things rising and limited supplies in the days that are ahead astronomers discover an 11 different asteroids that it can pack the earth how many are encouraged right now here's a health watch this one caught me I just threw this one in here just because because the other day we got Corona we got H1N1 we got swine flu we got stinging hornets and and we got all kinds of stuff going on West Nile virus that's back in the state of Florida all this stuff going on and then somebody has to go out and find the one squirrel that tested positive for the bubonic plague America's natural disasters are on the rise this is what the Bible said would take place just one thing after another in in 2020 the covid pandemic going on this is the worst we were at the highest level in our economy since the Great Depression and with the covid virus we sunk to the lowest levels back to 1930 of the Great Depression 57 million people have been unemployed have lost their jobs are filing for unemployment and many of them have returned back but there's still a host of people that have yet to do that we have watched as there's been race riots in the streets and the killing of George Floyd that set off a trigger point throughout our nation now where people cannot even communicate with one another why is the church still here if we can't come to the table and help people realize that there's hope in Jesus Christ it's not enough to sit in our churches and sing songs and hear sermons and then to go out there and still be affected by everything else and not be salt and light ladies and gentlemen I want to stop right now as the pastor this house to tell you that your job is not whatever your job is your job first is a believer and to get out on the highways and hedges and let people know about Jesus Christ and let there be a healing in our land and if the church doesn't do it then who is the massive storms in Iowa 14 million acres wiped out in Iowa's farmland they're recording now the highest temperatures in modern history that has been recorded especially in Death Valley California 12,000 lightning strikes in California that have set off wildfires that they have said this is historical and biblical proportion these are the words coming out of their mouth that's burned over a million acres three times the size of any previous fire and then we get hurricanes in the Gulf when I saw those twin hurricanes coming into the Gulf of Mexico I said Jesus is coming what's going on with these spiritual signs here's what the Bible says here's some of the negative ones to start with the things that are going to happen in the last days look for these things they're happening right now he says there would be false christ and prophets and cultic groups coming up apostasy of professing churches widespread heresy in the church a one world religion with one world economy so forth persecution of true believers outbreak of demonic and occultic activity have you seen so much satanic demonic activity taking place on your on the movie screens and on regular television so forth it's happening unprecedented here's some positive things the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is going to take place the Bible said it will happen in the last day a revival of Davidic worship in other words we're not sitting around just singing songs but we're entering into the presence of God on a level that we have never before that's the promise of God's word widespread worldwide evangelism taking place don't look for revivals that we have seen in the past but there's going to be and I believe and I prophesied that pace assembly will be one of those oasis a place where people can come and get fresh water and fresh word and they may have to go back to wherever they're coming from but all God let this be a place where people can get a fresh drink of the living water who is Jesus Christ in these last days come on say a man somebody all of these things taking place here's something that is advancing the technology look at this how many have ever heard of Elon Musk Elon Musk some of you may know who it is the Tesla cars and so forth this brainiac has now said that we have come up and I brought this to your prophecy files several months ago now he said he's going to develop a chip that can be implanted inside of the brain and can help watch this everything about the Antichrist system is going to be something that people embrace it's going to be something that helps okay the swiping of your card right now if I took up an offering of cash in this building right now it probably wouldn't be very much because most of you are not carrying cash in your pockets right what's the point everything is going to be embraced for your good and security I hope that you've enjoyed this portion of the prophecy files update I've recently brought it to the congregation here and we wanted to share it with you I encourage you to share this out on
