Okay. Okay. So if the equilibrium constant is 0.123, calculate the concentration of ammonia. If the concentration of nitrogen is 0.058 molar and the concentration of hydrogen is 1.24 molar. Okay, so first you need to know how to figure out what the equilibrium constant is. So, and in this part, in this problem you would have done that in part A anyways, right? So KBQ equals the concentration of ammonia squared over the concentration of nitrogen times the concentration of hydrogen Q. So it gives you these values for KBQ H2 and N2 and it asks you to figure out what NH3 is, right? So what you need to do is isolate that variable NH3, okay, the concentration of ammonia. So in order to do that, you're going to put everything else onto the other side of the equation, okay? So you're going to take both sides of this equation, multiply by concentration of N2, cancel N2 out there, then you'll multiply it by H2Q, concentration of H2Q. And that'll cancel it there. But we'll write, let's write what we got now. So we've got concentration of the NH3 squared equals the concentration of H2Q times the KBQ. So that in order to get rid of a square, you take the square root of both sides, right? So we take the square root here, that cancels with that, and we take the square root there. Okay. So our new equation is this. The concentration of ammonia equals the square root of H2Q times N2 times KBQ. We'll just plug this in. So H2 cubed, 1.24 cubed times N2, 0.508 times KBQ, 0.123. And then put it on your couple of units because this equation is not going to give you the right units if you try to plug them in. So you've got to remember that when the brackets are around something, it's the molar concentration.


James Cagney in First With Our End on the Cavalcade of America, sponsored by the DuPont Company, maker of better things for better living through chemistry. But first, here is Gain Whitman.  But it needn't because throughout the country there are thousands of DuPont authorized refinishers, body repair and paint shops. Many of these shops are specialists in smoothing out bumps and dents that mark the good looks of your car. They put on a factory finish, again available in DuCole and Dulux, so that you won't be able to find the places that have been repaired. And best of all, the cost is moderate in comparison with the protection and beauty it affords. DuCole and Dulux automotive finishes are examples of the DuPont pledge, better things for better living through chemistry. The DuPont Company presents James Cagney as Robert Corbyn in First Without End on the Cavalcade of America. There weren't enough drugs in the world to cure Bob's disease. But it wasn't a disease of the body, not at first. It attacks the mind and then the home, the job, the children. And not only Bob, but thousands of Americans have it. An insidious lingering malady. Bob had it, but he recovered. It wasn't easy, though. Treating an alcoholic is a long, tough job. Heartbreaking to wives and mothers like me. But it can be done, and many American homes can be saved. I know. Yes, Freddie. I'm hungry and it's pretty late. We'll eat as soon as Dad gets home, dear. Hey, he's not usually this late. Well, he's probably busy. I wonder if he... No, I don't mean that. Don't mean what? Nothing, nothing. Freddie, don't ever say that again. I didn't say it. Don't even think it.  You have to wash. But if that's Dad, I want to see him. Dear, I told you to go upstairs. Hello. Hello, Bob. Freddie. Hiya, Dad. Bob, you're all right. I mean you'll want dinner, won't you? Yeah, yeah. I want dinner, Elaine. I'm all right. Good. I'll have dinner on the table in a few minutes. Freddie, don't forget to wash. Oh, I won't. Well, what did you do today, son? Nothing much. It was raining most of the time. Yeah, it was. It's all right. Sorry, I didn't see you last night, but I got home late and had some work to do. Sure. I know, Dad. Freddie, I want to ask you a question. What about? Oh, well, it's just that for a couple of days now you've been looking like a stranger. What's the matter? Well, last Thursday it was Father and Sunday at the Scout Club. Yeah. Oh, I should have remembered. Oh, Mom said, well, said you were busy. Yeah, that's right. Sure. All the other fellas had their dads there, except Johnny Ward. Oh, well, where was his dad? Oh, don't you remember? He got killed in France. Oh, yes, that's right. Yeah. Johnny and I, well, we kind of sat together. Look, Freddie, forget it, will you? It won't happen again. The next time something like that comes up, I'll be on the spot, right with you. Cross your heart? Cross my heart in honor's engine. That's the right thing to say, isn't it? Yeah, sure. That's the thing to say. Sure. I thought you liked that program. Yeah, I like it, but not on. Oh, you see, you see the, oh, I'm sorry, honey, I'll turn it on again. Oh, no, if it makes you nervous, leave it off. Nervous? What makes you think I'm nervous? It was just an expression, darling. I didn't mean anything by it. Oh, look, if you want to say it like you think I need a drink, go ahead and say it.  Let's have it. I can't stand hints. But, Bob, I didn't have anything like that in mind. You did? No, I didn't. Well, you, oh, I'm sorry. I know I've given you nearly crazy. Well, I've done about the same thing to myself. I know what I am. I know what I'm doing to you and Freddie and to myself, but it's, it's something I can't explain it. The guy makes a bad mistake in business. He remembers it and doesn't pull the same boner again. But this, oh, it happens over and over and over. Please don't, don't talk about it now. And oh, Zana, I did the work of three men. I felt I needed a drink now and then to pet me up and get me going when I was dog tired. I did, depended on a drink doing that. Well, now the war's over. There's not enough work for me, but I still need that drink, not one, but a dozen, 50. I don't like it any more than you do. I know, dear, but you can try to help yourself. Try? Sure, I'll try. I know, but I love you. Always will, Elaine. What's the matter? Dad came home. Oh, well, where is he now? Upstairs. He's sleeping. He was going to take me to the ballgame, but he didn't show up. And now he'll drop it. It's all right, dear. I can't help him upstairs. Mom, I wish I never saw him that way. I was ready. Stay here. Yes, Bob. I'm here. It's dark. I... Yes, it's two o'clock in the morning. Oh, I don't remember coming up to bed. Freddie helped you up. Freddie helped me? What do you say? Oh, no, never mind. Bob, do you want anything? No, nothing, nothing. I'm sorry, Elaine. It just happened again. I was going to take him to the ballgame. I had half an hour before I was to meet him, and, well, it was just one drink again. The one that's always going to be the last. Go back to sleep. Cat, cat. I don't even remember driving home. I... Except for one thing. Oh, no, no. It was a dream, I guess. What was a dream? I... I thought I, uh, thought I had an accident. Accident? Bob. Oh, no, no. Don't worry. It must have been a dream or a nightmare or something. Don't turn on that light. Bob, you've got to remember. You've got to. I... Elaine, why are you saying it like that? Come on, tell me. There was an accident, Bob. A hit and run accident. It was in the evening paper. What are you talking about? You weren't home until after seven. Well, after. It was dark. Well, if you're going to say something, say it. What are you getting at? The driver in that hit and run accident struck a little girl. It was... Where are you going? Go take a look at the car. Mr. Carbon, start talking. You called me here. I, uh... Go ahead, Bob. Well, uh, we're trying to write here. You're looking for a hit and run driver.  About seven o'clock last night? Yes, we are. I think I'm the man. You just think. Why don't you know? I don't know, Elaine. Bob, you've got to. What's this all about? You get me here at three in the morning and then Hem and Ho around. You're the other guy we wanted. You're not. Well, I'm telling you, I don't know. I... I was drunk. Oh, I see. Where's your car? In the garage. Were you out at seven o'clock? Yes. Remember anything? Nothing. Remember anything vaguely? That's just it. I thought it was a... It was a dream that I had an accident. And then I... Then I looked at my car. And what? The right fender is dented. A dent wasn't there before you took the car out? No. You sure of that too, Mrs. Carbon? Ah, yes, I'm sure. Carbon? Yes. You realize you're letting yourself in for something very serious? I know, but... But I had to... Okay, don't touch that car. Don't go near it. What are you going to do? Make tests. A little girl was hit just about fender height. Medical examination shows it might have been a fender. How bad is it? Clearly. If she gets well, if. She'll never walk without crutches. Yeah, it's me. Oh, anything new? Yes, they question me again, but I can't tell them a thing, Elaine. Not a thing. I'm out on bail. Oh, darling, no. Listen, you've got to listen. The bail they fixed was high. I had to take a mortgage on the house to meet it. A mortgage on our house? I couldn't help it. I'm booked on suspicion. Where's Freddy? I haven't seen him for a while. I guess he's up in his room. He knows about it, doesn't he? It was in all the papers. I wonder if he'd... I wonder if he'd talk to me. I mean, maybe if I said a few things I've been wanting to say. Why don't you go up and see? We'll. Freddy. Can I come in? Freddy. Freddy. Freddy. Well, isn't he here, Bob? No, I guess he... Oh, wait. Here's an envelope addressed to you. To me? Yeah. It's Freddy's handwriting. No. All right, let me have that. Dear mom, everybody says dad's the hit-and-run driver. Everybody says he'll go to jail. Now, all the kids will even say worse thing about him than they did before. I don't want to hear those things. Not about my dad. So I'm going away. I love you and... and dad too. I love you and... and dad too. Oh, we can stay here all night, Jackie. But it's awful dark, say. Ah, we got a fire? Well, my dad... Oh, I've stayed here overnight lots of times on camping trips. Yeah, but it's awful dark.  Freddy. Freddy. Hey. Freddy. That sounds like your dad. Did I not hear? Don't you ever say anything like that. Freddy. Freddy, where are you? I... Oh, right here, dad. Oh. Well, I'm going home. You got coffee, Jackie? No, I... Well, here, take this. The last car is leaving in about ten minutes. Thanks. Well... Hold on. How'd you know I'd be here? Did you think I'd forget our old camping spot? No, I guess not. No, come here, son. Freddy, you've got to believe me and you've got to try to understand what I'm about to say. See, never before tonight did I realize what... what was happening to you. To... to me? Yes, to you and mother. Well, I don't care about me. It's what they say about you. Guys, I want to be proud of you. I've got a right to be that, haven't I? Yes, you have.  Please come home, Freddy. Not for me alone, but with your mother. All right. Sure, dad. I didn't leave because I wanted to. It was just that... that I thought you didn't care anymore. We're listening to James Cagney as Robert Corbyn in Thirst Without End on the Cavalcade of America sponsored by the DuPont Company, maker of better things for better living through chemistry. As the second part of our story opens, Robert Corbyn, fully aware of the tragic results of his excessive drinking, sits before the fireplace and is home, slumped in despair, while his wife Elaine sows in sympathetic silence. Did Lieutenant Wright talk to you today, Bob? Yeah, yeah. The test didn't prove a thing. It was raining that night. No tire tracks, no broken glass, nothing to prove anything one way or another. Bob, I... I've been wanting to talk to you about something, but I didn't know where to begin. Please don't be angry. Well, where should I be? I... I called Alcoholics Anonymous today. You what? Yes, I called them. I wanted them to help. And they will, Bob. They will, but you've got to see them. Well, give me that. You call them about me? To help me? Yes, give them a chance. Oh. You don't know what you're talking about. But they do, Bob. I know it. They'll help you. Listen, I'll tell you what it's like to be me. You start out in the morning promising yourself, no drinks, not even one. And then... and then something happens. Your throat gets dry. You think people are looking at you, looking at your shaky hands, and you want to crawl into a hole and not face the world, but you know that's impossible. You've got to face it out. There's only one way to do it. Take a drink. So you get it. You drink it slowly. It feels terrible going down, but it feels good, too. There's no explaining it except that your nerves in your body are hungry for alcohol. You drink it in. Every fiber and nerve drinks it. But you don't stop at one, or two, or three, or a dozen. And pretty soon numbers don't mean a thing. And you don't remember. And that's it, Elaine. That's what it is. And you think anyone can help? Alcoholics Anonymous can help me? Try, Bob. Just try for Freddie and me.  Yes, I am. My wife called, and this is the address. Sure, sure. This is our clubhouse. Oh, from Noondale Midnight. Say, let's sit down over here. Oh, let me introduce myself. You don't have to tell me your name. That part about being anonymous? Why, that's only true as far as the public is concerned. My name's Palmer, Fred Palmer. My name is Bob Corbin. Oh, yes. You, too? You know, Bobby. Yes, I know what you're going through. You? Bob, eight months ago I was like you are now. I know the symptoms. Well, I can help you, and you can help me. Help you? How? You see, I won't feel I'm square with myself unless I help another fellow. Would you like me? Would you let me help you? Look, right now I want a drink and want it bad. Now, if I don't get it, I'll go crazy. My hands are shaking, my throat is dry as cotton, and... Oh, no, you couldn't help going on. Oh, wait a minute. My hands should like that. My throat felt like dry cotton. But now, look at me. Look at the rest of the people here. That's why we have this clubhouse, Bob, so they can come here and not be alone. You see, we know how strongly urge is to have a drink when you're alone. So anytime we feel that way, we drop in here and talk. It helps, Bob. Helps plenty. Well, I... Dry it, Bob. I did. Oh, and one thing more. Here. Here's a nickel. Never. What for? If you ever feel you're slipping, use this nickel to call me. Look, Bob, the thing to remember is you just don't take a drink today. Tomorrow's another story, but listen... It's all right. I'll keep that nickel. Someone gave me a nickel like this, and it saved my life. More tea, Dorothy? No, thanks, Elaine. The reason I dropped in was to tell you... Elaine, you won't feel hurt if I talk to you about Bob. No, why should I? He hasn't taken a drink for weeks. I know. Greg and I were talking about it last night, and he said he'd be glad to defend Bob on the hit-and-run charge. Oh, that's wonderful. Of both of you. Oh, that must be Freddy. He loves the doorbell. Excuse me, Dorothy. Of course. I'll have to be going in a minute anyway. Freddy, you know better than... Oh, Bob. Bob. How do you feel? Bob, why did you do it? Why? Oh, I was all right until I went to the hospital to see that kid. I've been going there every week, bringing little things. I started home today, and I got to thinking about the whole thing. I called Lieutenant Wrighton. He still got nothing but my statement. And then? And I couldn't stand the uncertainty, Elaine. I thought that if I had one drink, one, it would help me hold my nerves together when I thought about that sweet little girl. Bob, we're going to call Fred Palmer right now. What for? The damage is done. No, it's not. You didn't touch a drink for weeks. But now you need him again. You've got to go to the clubhouse. Bear one thing in mind. You're not going to take a drink tonight. Just give me one. Will you? One. My head's coming apart. No, Bob.  One drink is too many, a thousand and not enough. What time is it? Nine o'clock. That's what you said an hour ago. Come on, Bob. Deal the cards. Why don't you get that clock out of here? Johnny, me nuts! Take it easy, Bob. Look, let me have one drink, will you? And I promise you I'll come right back. No drinks tonight, Bob. What time is it? It's 4.30. I'm getting light outside. You'll feel better when the sun comes up. Feel better? You know the only thing that'll make me feel better. It's all right now, Mrs. Corbin. You can come and get him. He's fallen asleep. Exhaustion. But he didn't have a drink. It's just a moment. Hello, Mrs. Corbin. Oh, Lieutenant Drydie. Please come in. Thanks. Your husband in? Yes, upstairs. Is he going to talk to him? He hasn't taken a drink since he went to the hospital that day a week ago. But you... is there anything wrong? Who was that at the front? Hello, Corbin. Oh, hello, Lieutenant. Well, Corbin, you've got a break. A man spotted your picture in the paper. Read the story. He hadn't seen it before. Came into us and told us that you couldn't have been the hit-and-run driver because that dented fendery of yours was the result of a little accident you had with him. Then I did have an accident. Well, yes and no. The man said his car wasn't damaged and you were so roaring drunk he didn't stop to argue about it. So, you're in the clear. Thank you, Lieutenant. You know, thanks for coming in. Sure, sure. Of course, you've still got a drunk driving charge to face, but you can thank your lucky stars. It wasn't what you were afraid of. Well, I guess I'll be going. I, uh, I'm not drinking anymore. So your wife tells me. I think it's swell. Good luck. Oh, Bob. I can't believe it. Hey, Dad, I thought we were going fishing. There's a... What's the matter? Is there anything wrong? Oh, no, son, nothing at all. And I never will be again. Come on. Elaine, we're going to bring home a string of fish a yard long. Well, in case you don't, I've ordered them from the market. Now, have a good time. Yeah, hey, that won't be any boat slap. We'll be back by six, Elaine. Bye. Goodbye. And so, Bob is fine now. The nights when he doesn't come home until late, Freddie and I don't worry, because we know he's working, working hard. We know he's all right. That's why I'm thinking now about other women, wives or mothers who went or are going through what I did. They're wondering if their husbands or sons can have the faith that the patience and the willpower to do what Bob did. They can, and it's worth the fight. I can tell you because I know. It's advocate microphone in a moment. Now, here is Gaines Whitman. Somebody, somebody with a queer sense of humor, once referred to weeds as the only perfect plants. If you've ever tried to get weeds out of an orchard or a lawn, you've probably thought of several other names to call them. They're a nuisance and tiresome chore to anyone with grass to be kept smooth and green. And they're much worse than a nuisance to the farmer. Bindweed, for instance, has been known to reduce the farmer's crop reduction by as much as 80%. In some regions, it has even made farmlands worthless. For many years, scientists have hunted for improved weed killers. Tonight, we want to tell you about two we believe to be the best so far developed. Dupont Amate weed killer quickly, permanently destroys some of the toughest woody perennials, poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, and many others. The second and newer compound is Dupont 24D. Dupont 24D weed killer is selective against lawn weeds. Spray it on your lawn spring and fall, and it kills chickweed, dandelions, plantain, and wild onion without harming the grass at all at certain concentrations. It kills plants by making them use their reserve food supply too fast. It destroys pigweed, bullfistle, and ragweed, cause of much hay fever. For the farmer also, 24D weed killer is wonderful news. Wild onion and radish, which give milk a strong flavor if cows graze on them, are also destroyed by 24D. It kills trumpet vine, Virginia creeper, wild carrot, sassafras, and sumac, a troublesome enemy of the farmer in some parts of the country. Dupont 24D weed killer is also made in convenient tablet form under the trademark CARMEX. It can be applied quickly and conveniently as a coarse spray, even from a sprinkling can. Once it dries on the weeds, it kills them roots and all, and keeps its effectiveness despite rainstorms. This easier, more efficient way of destroying weeds is an example of the kind of problem the sciences of biology and chemistry solve. Saving time and work, actually saving valuable acreage for the farmer, 24D weed killer is one of the newest of the Dupont Company's better things for better living through chemistry. And now our star, James Cagney. Jimmy, as you can tell, we'd all like to thank you and congratulate you on doing a swell job tonight. Thanks, Cain. That job was really worth doing. It certainly was. By the way, be sure to listen next Monday. Won't you? To our program, we have a wonderful story and a great star. Well, give him to me one at a time. First, who's the star? Helen Hayes. Just that's enough. And she's going to play the part of Molly Brown, better known as the Unsinkable Mrs. Brown, which is the title of the story. The Unsinkable Mrs. Brown. Sounds like good listening. All right, count me in. That we will, Jimmy, and thanks again. Thank you and good night. James Cagney's next starring vehicle will be Thorn Smith's comedy, The Stray Lamb, a William Cagney production. The music for tonight's Dupont Cavalcade was composed and conducted by Robert Armbruster. A Cavalcade play was written by Henry Denker. With Mr. Cagney, we're a B-benadirate as Elaine, Conrad Binyan as Freddie, and Bill Johnstone as Palmer. Others in the cast included Tommy Bernard, Virginia Gregg, Will Wright, and George Sorrell. This is Tom W. Collins inviting you to listen next week when our broadcast will originate from New York City, starring Helen Hayes in The Unsinkable Mrs. Brown on The Cavalcade of America, brought to you by the Dupont Company of Wilmington, Delaware. This is NBC, the national broadcasting company.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we discussed the final question which says a small form manufactures one rings and chains. The total number of rings and chains manufactured per day is at most 24. It takes 1 hour to make a ring and 30 minutes to make a chain. The maximum number of hours available per day is 16. If the profit on a ring is Rs 300 and that on a chain is Rs 190, find the number of rings and chains that should be manufactured per day so as to earn the maximum profit, make it an LPP and solve it graphically. Let us now proceed with the solution. Let us write the given data in the tabular form. Like in the question it is given that a small form manufactures gold rings and chains. So the two items would be rings and chains. It is given that it takes 1 hour to make a ring and 30 minutes to make a chain. So time taken to make a ring is written as 1 and to make chain 30 minutes are taken which means half an hour. We are also given that the profit on a ring is Rs 300. So we write here 300 and profit on the chain is Rs 190. We write here 190. As we are supposed to find the number of rings and chains that should be manufactured per day. So we can take the number of rings manufactured per day would be say y. So we suppose that the number of rings the x units the number of chains may be y units. Per day and y chains per day to maximize the profit is given in the table that a profit on a ring is Rs 300. Would be equal to Rs 300x when one chain is Rs 190. So the total profit is equal to Rs 190 high. Also given that the total number of rings and chains manufactured per day is at most 24. So this means we have x equal to 24 where x is the number of rings manufactured per day and y is the number of chains manufactured per day. So x plus y plus n equal to 24. We have obtained one constraint for the linear programming problem. As in the fashion it's given that it takes 1 hour to make a ring and half an hour to make a chain. So it's equal to half into y that is equal to 1 upon 2 into y. Also in the question we are given that the maximum number of hours available per day y is less than equal to 16. Thus we have obtained another constraint and this could also be written as it is less than equal to 32. Rings cannot be negative. So x is also greater than equal to 0 and y is also greater than equal to 0. Now the mathematical formulation ring problem is given as the total profit that is say z equal to Rs 30 by z equal to y given as less than equal to 24 and the next constraint is 2x plus y less than equal to 32. With this equation 2 we have the non-negative constraints as equal to 0, greater than equal to 0 like this equation 3. So we have made a linear programming problem. Now we have to solve this problem graphically. The first step of solving this linear programming problem graphically is in the physical region determined by these constraints. So for this first we need to graph this inequality for which we will graph the equation x plus y equal to 24. Now putting 2 to 0, y equal to 0 in inequality run we get 0 plus 0 is less than equal to 24 that is 0 is less than equal to 24 which is true the origin which coordinates 0 to 0 like in the region x plus y less than equal to 24. So this region this shaded portion below the line x plus y equal to 24 represents the inequality x plus y less than equal to 24. Now next we will graph the inequality 2x plus 32 of the equation 2x plus y equal to 32 which represents the equation. Now we will check if the origin lies in the region or this putting 0, y equal to 0 in equation 2 into 0 plus 0 is less than equal to 32 that is 0 is less than equal to 32 which is therefore we say that the origin 0 0 lies in the region given by the inequality 2x plus y less than equal to 32. This shaded portion in red represents the region quality 2x plus y less than equal to 32. We have graphed the inequalities of the constraints x plus y less than equal to 24 and 2x plus y less than equal to 32. Let's now consider the constraints x greater than equal to 0 and y greater than equal to 0. Now the non-negative constraint x greater than equal to 0 is the y axis in the region right hand side and y greater than equal to 0 is the x axis and the region to the right of the y axis is x greater than equal to 0 and the x axis and the region above the x axis is the region y greater than equal to 0. Now let's determine the common region determined by all these constraints. The section of the line joining the points c and d that is the line 2x plus y equal to 32 with the x axis that is this point v point e region e b b o e the feasible region. The last time the corner points of the feasible region which are the points e, d, b and o the corner points the region as passes the point e with coordinates 16, 0 then we have the point d with coordinates point b with coordinates 0, 24 is 0, 0. The value of the objective function given by z equal to 300x plus 190y which is the total profit corner point e with coordinates 16, 0. So for this the value of the objective function z would be equal to 300x16 to 0 and so this would be equal to 800 which is the point d with coordinates 8, 16. The value of the objective function z is equal to 300x8 plus 190x16 be equal to 5,440. The point is the point b with coordinates 0, 24 so z would be equal to 300 into 0 plus 190 into 24 and so this would be equal to 4560 the point o with coordinates 00. The value of the objective function z would be equal to 300 into 0 plus 190 into 0 and so this would be equal to 0. Of these values of the objective function obtained at the corner points of the feasible region we find that minimum value and this is the minimum value. So we take the maximum value as capital M equal to 5,440 and the minimum value small n equal to 0. So we have the maximum value to profit function or you can say the objective function as in 440 at the corner point d with coordinates 8, 16. We are supposed to maximize the profit so we will consider only the maximum value of the objective function z. As we can now say the maximum profit would be rupees 440 at manufacturers that assumed x to be the number of rows manufactured by the firm per day and y to be the number of chains manufactured by the firm per day. As we say that if the firm manufactured then the maximum profit would be rupees 5,440. So this is our final answer. This completes the question. Hope you understood the solution of this question.


But that said, we're going to be looking at Revelation chapter 14. We're going to be looking at verses 14 through 20. That's what we're going to be looking at in terms of our study. But I'm going to begin reading to you out of verse 12, because I'm going to go back to verse 12 and highlight a few things that I didn't mention last time when we were together. I realize that some of you are coming here maybe for the first time, and perhaps some of you have never studied through the book of Revelation, and this is a new experience for you. I have a tendency of assuming that everybody knows exactly what I'm trying to say in all, just because everybody I always assume has read this book, perhaps had studies through it. And just the other day, I realized that sometimes I may be saying things that I'm assuming you may know and you may not know. So I want to go over a little bit of what we've already looked at and kind of give a little introduction and to move into chapter 14 verses 14 to the end of the chapter, hopefully give you a little information to help you to get a grip on where we're at at this time. So I'll begin reading at verses 12. I'll read to verse 20, but our actual study will be in verses 14 to the end of the chapter. But beginning at verse 12, Revelation chapter 14. Here is the patience of the saints. There are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Right, blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the spirit, that they may rest from their labors and their works follow them. Then I looked and behold a white cloud and on the cloud sat one like the son of man having on his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, thrust in your sickle and reap, for the time has come for you to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe. So he who sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth and the earth was reaped. Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the altar who had power over fire. And he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle saying, Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth for her grapes are fully ripe. So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth and threw it into the great wine press of the wrath of God. And the wine press was trampled outside the city and blood came out of the wine press up to the horse's bridles for 1,600 furlongs. So again, I'm going to highlight verses 12 and 13. And as we look at those verses, I begin by noting that John wrote, blessed are the dead who dine the Lord from now on. Now when he said, blessed are the dead, in the Old Testament, the word blessed is used quite a number of times when one source of information pointed out that the word in the Old Testament is used 214 times. And that word blessed means happy, fulfilled, it means joyful. So blessed or blessed speaks of inner contentedness. It speaks of a serenity. It speaks that you have a joy that is complete. Now this complete joy is associated with trusting the Lord and living by His word. Like it says in Psalm 1 verses 1 and 2, blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful, but his delight is in the law of the Lord. And in his law he meditates day and night. So this joy is associated with trusting the Lord, living by his word. In Psalm 119 verse 2, how blessed are those who observe his testimonies, who seek him with all their heart. So the blessed man, the blessed person is one who walks in the counsel of God, who stays in his word and trusts him. In the New Testament, the word blessed is used to speak of joy. It speaks of fulfillment and even satisfaction. And it describes the joy that results from having your deepest spiritual needs met. In 1 John 1.4 it says, these things we write to you that your joy may be full. So when you're blessed, your joy is full. You have fulfillment and satisfaction. As a matter of fact, this is a word that was chosen by Jesus to speak of somebody who is a citizen of heaven. It's a word that speaks of what is awaiting faithful believers. In Matthew 25, 21, it says, his Lord said to him, well done, good and faithful servant. You were faithful over a few things. I will make you ruler over many things. And then he says, enter into the joy of your Lord. So it speaks of blessedness, a blessedness that is received from the hand of the Lord. And it's what results in, is the result of a relationship of obedience to his directions. And it's interesting how he's using that word here in this verse. Because he's speaking of the blessedness of the one who is having patience and keeps the commandments of God. Notice again in verse 12, here is the patience of the saints. Here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. He says, I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, right blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the spirit that they may rest from the labors and the works follow them. So those who have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ are going to evidence their faith by living in obedience.  And there are going to be tribulation saints who die, but they're going to die with assurance because they're holding on to the promises of God.  That is a seven year span of time. It's divided into two aspects. You have what is called the tribulation, the first three and a half years, and then great tribulation, the last three and a half years.   They're going to die holding fast to eternal life that has been granted to them by faith through Christ. And they're blessed. Again, these are the tribulation saints. These are those who commit their trust to the Lord during the tribulation. Remember that during the tribulation, the seven year period of God pouring out his wrath, during that time the gospel, the message of Christ continues to be proclaimed. The message that speaks of God loving the world and giving his son. The message of Jesus Christ taking upon himself human flesh and dwelling amongst us. The message that he voluntarily laid down his life for us dying on a cross, that he was buried. That message that speaks concerning Jesus Christ, resurrecting from the dead, ascending to heaven, sending the Holy Spirit to dwell within those who by faith receive him. That message of grace that has been shown to us by God through Christ, through his God in the flesh. And we have believed and received and thus we're born again.  We have already looked at the 144,000 Jewish evangelists who will be preaching the message of the gospel. We know that there will be two witnesses and they will be preaching the gospel. We know that there are going to be people who are saved under the ministry of the 144,000 as well as those two witnesses and they themselves will begin to preach the gospel. Even an angel is flying over the earth and he's speaking out the everlasting gospel. So the gospel goes out powerfully, it goes out relentlessly. People are hearing it and as they hear it, preach, some are turning to the Lord, but the majority reject the message. And that's like it is today, but even on a larger scale then, but that's like it is today. Many people hear the gospel, but they reject it. Well, during that time in the midst of all of the judgment, all of the plagues, all of the things, the cataclysms that are taking place, in the midst of that, there are going to be some who believe but many of them will not embrace the message. Some will, but the majority rejected. And so those who are saved are going to reveal the genuineness of their salvation in various ways and so you see it in verse two, he speaks of, rather verse 12, he speaks of the patience of the saints. So these people's salvation is evidenced by patience. Patience describes a person who is not swayed, but remains loyal in faith and holiness in the face of the greatest trials and sufferings. They're the ones who hold fast to what is true. Patience can be spoken of as a patient endurance. And Jesus spoke of this in the context of the last days. In Matthew 10, 22, Jesus said, you will be hated by all for my name's sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved. It's the patience of the saints. You will be hated by all for my name's sake, but endure. He speaks of the patience of the saints. In the Gospel of Luke chapter 21, verses 16 and 17, you will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends.  You will be hated by all for my name's sake. But he goes on to say in verse 19, by your patience possess ye your souls. So genuine faith in Christ is revealed by patience. It's also revealed by obedience. Because they faithfully keep the commandments of God, even like the church in Philadelphia. In Revelation 3, Jesus said, I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door and no one can shut it. For you have a little strength, have kept my word and have not denied my name. And so they hold fast to his faith, to the things he's revealed to them. And genuine faith is always revealed in obedience. In John 14 verse 15, Jesus said it in a simple way. He said, if you love me, keep my commandments. In 1 John 2 verses 3 through 5, John said, by this we know that we know him. If we keep his commandments.  The truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. And by this we know that we are in him. There are many who profess to be Christian. The United States has filled the people answering surveys when asked, what is your religious faith? They'll say, well, I'm a Christian. There are many who profess to be Christian, but they live like an atheist. That's why in Luke 6, 46, Jesus asked the question, why do you call me Lord, Lord? And do not the things that I say. You see, these tribulation saints have built their lives upon their faith in Christ. And their faith keeps them trusting Jesus, even in the midst of the reign of Antichrist.  They die holding on to the promises of God. They die holding fast to eternal life that's been granted by faith to them. As a result of that is their blessed. And notice again in verse 13 how it says, their labors, their works follow them. Of course, they're not saved. You're not saved. We're not saved by good works. Their salvation prompted them to labor for the Lord. James 2, verse 20 said it like this.  Anybody who is saved is going to work because we do so in response to what God has done for us. And as we serve him and we work in his name, while the record of our service and the record of their service is honored with reward. That's why Paul in 2 Timothy 4, 7 and 8 could say, I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith. In the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day and not only to me, but also to all who have loved is appearing. And so as we're looking at this that rolls us into verse 14. He's speaking concerning their works following them. But verse 14 gives us more insight where he says, Then I looked and behold, a white cloud.  So he begins to speak concerning this. And he speaks concerning, behold, he noticed this white cloud. So what we have here is we have judgment. And the judgment that is being revealed occurs at the worst point of the tribulation. He says, The Son of Man sitting on a cloud. A cloud is often used as a symbol for the presence of God. In Matthew 24, verse 30, the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. In Matthew 26, verses 63 and 64, it says, Jesus kept silent. The high priest answered and said to him, I put you under oath by the living God. Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God. And Jesus said to him, It is as you said, Nevertheless, I say to you, Hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the power coming on the clouds of heaven. So he's been waiting for the proper time to move and to begin reaping. The time has arrived. And we're going to be seeing a series of judgments that are called the bull judgments. Now, when it speaks in verse 14 of The Son of Man, that's another way of speaking of Messiah. It speaks of Jesus being fully man. It describes his incarnation. Messiah, God in the flesh. In the Gospel of John chapter one, verse one, it says in the beginning was a word. The word was with God and the word was God. In verse 14 of the same chapter, it says, a word became flesh and dwelt among us. We beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father full of grace and truth.  Son of Man is a way of speaking of Messiah. It speaks of the fact that he is fully man. In Colossians chapter one, verses 18 and 19, it says Jesus is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he may have the preeminence for, it pleased the Father that in him all the fullness should dwell. Jesus Christ is God in human form. So the term Son of Man is used by the prophet Daniel as well as by Jesus when he referred to himself. In Daniel chapter seven, verse 13 and 14, he says, I was watching in the night visions, behold one like the Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He came to the ancient of days. They brought him near before him. Then to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom that all peoples, nations, languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away. His kingdom, the one which shall not be destroyed. So this is a picture of Jesus, the Son of Man. Notice in verse 14, he's wearing a crown. This is not the kind of crown a king wears. The word that they would use in the Greek language to speak of a crown of a king is a diadema. That would be a diadem. It would be a king's crown. This is not a king's crown. This is what is called a Stefanos. This is a victor's crown. Usually it was worn. It was given to the victor in a war or in an athletic contest. So it's showing us here when it says the Son of Man on a cloud, the glory of God, he has his head a golden crown. It shows that he's the victor. That's the picture that is given to us here. He's the triumphant conqueror of his enemies. But in his hand, verse 14 says, he has a sharp sickle revealing that he's reaping. He's reaping a final harvest. The final reaping is the seven bold judgments that are followed by his return. Judgment is coming. It's the picture here. Judgment is about to fall. It's going to fall on the demons. It's going to fall on Antichrist. Judgment is falling on the unrepentant wicked. Judgment is falling on Satan. And it's portrayed here as a final reaping that will take place. When you look at the writings of the apostle Paul in 2 Thessalonians 1.6-9, Paul said in his justice, God will punish those who persecute you. God will provide rest for you who are being persecuted. And also for us, when the Lord Jesus appears from heaven, he will come with his mighty angels, inflaming fire, bringing judgment on those who don't know God and on those who refuse to obey the good news of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with everlasting destruction, forever separated from the Lord and from his glorious power, forever separated from God, forever. So this is a picture of Jesus. He's participating in the in-gathering of saints and the final judgment. It's a picture of Jesus coming to establish his kingdom which fulfills Daniel's prophecy. Remember in Matthew 8 verse 20, Jesus said the Son of Man has no place to lay his head. When he was incarnate on earth, he made that statement, foxes have their holes in the ground, birds have their nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head. Well, he said that when he was on earth incarnated, but here we see him take possession of the entire earth. And notice, he has a sickle. He's mowing down his enemies like the harvester cuts down grain. And so in verse 14, you see he has a sickle and he's bringing judgment. In verse 15, another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, thrust in your sickle and reap, for the time has come for you to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe. Now, this angel came out of the temple, according to verse 17, that means he comes from before the throne of God. But notice in verse 15 when he says, crying out with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud. His loud voice reveals urgency and authority from the Father. And he says, thrust your sickle and reap. God's message to Jesus is it's time. It's time to move in judgment. The time of God's grace has reached the end. His wrath is being poured out. It's a time where his grace reaches its completeness, his fulfillment, and he now begins to pour out his wrath. And Jesus is bringing judgment. You know, if you look at some of the older pictures of Christ, like from the Middle Ages and all, we see so many pictures of Jesus as he's carrying a lamb or has this very sweet smile. And we have a picture of him in a certain way, and that way is accurate. Of course, he does care. He does love. He is the good shepherd. And we've become comfortable with that image. But an image that we also have in the Bible that we sometimes don't really take into full consideration is the fact that the lion is the lamb, and the lamb is a lion. We don't see that sometimes. We forget of the passages where Jesus with thunder at the Pharisees for the hypocrisy.  You know, we're not used to hearing things like that. We don't read Matthew 23 very often, perhaps, and we don't realize that Jesus had a righteous indignation over sin and those kinds of things. We forget that Jesus went into a temple twice, and he overthrew the tables of money changers. He drove them out with a whip that he fashioned, and he said, it's written, my father's house shall be a house of prayer. You have made it into a den of thieves. We don't think of him that way. And so as he was here on the face of the earth, and he was showing to us his grace, he also showed us his judgment. While here we see it being poured out now. Jesus is bringing judgment. His father has delegated him to do that. In John 5.27, the father has given him authority to execute judgment also because he's the son of man. In Acts 17.31, it reads, God has appointed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising him from the dead. Judgment is coming. Notice in verse 15, the harvest of the earth is ripe. That word ripe in the original language is overripe. It actually carries the connotation of being dried out. It's a picture of something that is ready to burn. It's dry and ready to burn. And when something is dry and ready to burn, it takes only a spark, really, for it to ignite. I was about nine years old, and I became fascinated with fire for some reason. I don't know why, but I did. And I used to carry matches in my pocket. When I went to school, just in case something needed to be burned. True story. And I came home from school one day, and somebody had cut all the grass and had put the clippings in a pile, and it was about three feet high. A big, huge pile of grass clippings that were very dry, very dry.  And so I heard the voice, and it spoke, and said, go, my son, and burn. And so I did. I pulled out the matches, and I lighted it on fire, and I was a little guy. I didn't realize what would really happen. It was right next to the people's garage, and the garage doors were wooden doors. Yeah. And so I lighted it on fire, and then I saw it started to go up. And it was like, it was starting to go up. And I thought, oh, no. I jumped in the middle of the fire, and I tried to stomp it out, obviously unsuccessful. So I just ran home.  And so I ran home. I was in my mom's room.  I'm doing good, you know. Everything's fine. And then I hear the sound of a truck. And I go, oh, no. And I kind of look out. It's a fire truck. And it pulled up in front of my house. Then you hear the heavy sounds of the boots as the guy's walking up. The firefighter walks up and knocks on the door. And I opened the door, and this eight-foot tall firefighter was there.  And I said, no. I'm taking care of myself. Nobody's watching me. No, I said, yeah. I went and got my mom. And my mom came and had to speak to the firefighter. How I almost burned down that person's house. And then the man and his wife who owned the house came over that night and sat with my mom and my dad and started telling me off. And the woman started wagging her finger at me, like this little boy. Well, you don't do that to my mom's son. My mom was a fighter. So I said, yeah, let's see how far you go with that one.  I got away with it. But anyway, yeah, it was ready to burn.  And that's the picture you have right here is something that's going to go up in flame. And it's going to go up in flame in judgment. You see, the unbelievers have reached the point of being prepared for judgment. In Hebrews chapter six, verses seven and eight, it says, the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated receives blessing from God. But if it bears thorns and briars, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned. And that's the picture of the world, rejecting Christ ready for judgment. So in verse 16, so he who sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth, the earth was reaped. God's judgment is described as being executed. Now this judgment is going to be given, will be given more of a picture of this more clearly in chapter 16. This is a picture of the final judgments that are called the bowl judgments. And so we'll see that when we get later on into chapter 16. In verse 17, it says, another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven. He also having a sharp sickle. And so we continue, this particular angel is assisting Jesus as he brings judgment. This judgment is not one of grain. This is a picture of a grape harvest. It's not referring to the bowl judgments. What it really reveals to us is something we'll see later on, the battle of Armageddon. The picture is a wine press. The wine press represents the wrath of God on unrepentant sinners. And when harvest time comes, the picture will be that God will cut down the ripe grape vines with a sickle but trample the grapes underfoot. Their juices will be squeezed out into vats and poured out. So this is a picture that has inspired people over the centuries. And as I was going through this, when it spoke concerning, notice verse 19, the great wine press of the wrath of God, I began to think of, now where have I heard that? And obviously, grapes of wrath is the name of a book that was written many years ago now. But it was also a picture that I remembered actually of a famous hymn. This passage here inspired a hymn that we know as the battle hymn of the Republic. And that was a song that was written during the Civil War. It was written in November of 1861. And I was reading up on that, and its purpose was to recognize union forces as instruments of divine judgment against Confederate states for persisting in the institution of slavery. Between 1774 and 1804, all slavery had been abolished in the north, but it persisted in the south. And so a woman was inspired to write this hymn in response to the injustice that she saw over slavery. And that's what it's speaking about when it says, my eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored. He has loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword. His truth is marching on. In the beauty of the lilies, Christ was born across the sea with a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me. As he died to make men holy, let us live to make men free while God is marching on. It's a picture of judgment. It's a picture of unrighteousness being dealt with that he'd even inspired people during that horrible era of slavery to speak concerning how unrighteousness needs to be dealt with. Then you have verse 18. Another angel came out from the altar who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle saying thrust in your sharp sickle, gather the clusters of the vine of the earth for her grapes are fully ripe. Another angel is mentioned. This is the sixth angel that is mentioned. Notice that this angel came out from the altar. He has power over fire, so that gives us insight. We already saw an altar mentioned in chapter 6 verses 9 through 11, and that altar represented the brazen altar, the brass incense altar. The altar of incense represents prayer. So this is the prayer of the saints as well as the martyrs, and this angel cries out that the prayers are being answered. It's time for judgment. The unrepentant sinners are pictured as clusters of grapes. They're bursting with wickedness as the picture. It's time for their judgment. And so in verse 19, the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth and threw it into the great wine press of the wrath of God. What happens is the enemies of Jesus who survived the bold judgments will be gathered, and their blood will be poured out. And the Old Testament book of Joel, chapter 3 verse 13, it reads, Put in the sickle for the harvest is ripe. Come, go down, for the wine press is full. The vats overflow. Their wickedness is great. Their wickedness is great. Notice how it says in verse 20, the wine press was trampled outside the city. Blood came out of the wine press up to the horse's bridles for 1,600 furlongs. That represents 200 miles. When it speaks about blood up to the bridles, that's not a pool of blood or a river or a lake of blood. What it's speaking about is blood that's splattering. That's splattering. And it's throughout the length of the battle. Millions. We'll look at this for a moment. Millions will be engaged in what has been called the Battle of Armageddon. It's actually can be called not simply the Battle of Armageddon is also referred to as the Campaigns of Armageddon. We'll see that when we get to that chapter is a series of battles. But it also speaks of the slaughter of Armageddon for what is going to take place. What happens is the nations are going to gather together in the very end. And they're fighting against the Lord and His Christ. In chapter 19, we will see the return of Christ. And there we'll see the Antichrist, the false prophet, demonic forces, unrepentant people. They're going to be destroyed. Revelation 19 verses 11 through 15 says it like this. I saw heaven opened. Behold a white horse. He who sat on him was called faithful and true. And in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire. And on his head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood. And his name is called the word of God. And the armies in heaven clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed him on white horses.  That with it he should strike the nations. He himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He himself treads the wine press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. The angel thrust the sickle in, but Jesus crushes them. And Psalm 2 it reads, Duommage to the Son, that he not become angry and you perish in the way. For his wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all those who take refuge in him. We need to be prepared because Jesus is returning soon. Let me share with you some things. I didn't put these in my notes and so I'm going to just share what's on my heart as I'm about to close. And we've got a few things to say after that. But let me share with you, if I may. This is a very serious passage of Scripture, guys. And I want to treat it with the dignity that it deserves. And as I was reading this and as I'm taking the picture in to my heart, I'm realizing that this is a tremendous warning to those who don't know the Lord. This is a call to the unrepentant, even in our time, to come to faith in God. And this is going to happen. This is what's going to happen. Jesus' return, he had come with peace, but now he comes with wrath. And I believe it's going to be soon. It can be soon, even in our lifetime. And we need to live as if we really believe that. And that's how I was thinking about this. I was thinking about how many people today in our nation have really, really missed the understanding of how the Word of God is true. I was being interviewed just the other day by a man who was going to be broadcasting the interview to a lot of pastors. So I was speaking to pastors throughout the nation as I was being interviewed. So this was for pastors. And this one pastor who was interviewing me asked me, what do you see, David? What do you see today in comparison to when you got saved? What is similar? What is different? What do you see? And the first thing I said to him is this, I'll repeat it to you. I said, well, when I got saved, it was a long time ago, 50 years ago, when I gave my heart to Christ. They said, so I came from a generation of young people who actually believed that the Bible is the Word of God. We may not have done it. We may not have obeyed it, but if you quoted the verse to me, I would say, why would I deny that? That's God's Word. I actually believed that there was a God so powerful that he could preserve his Word. And so it was a very adequate tool to be using for guys like me because I believed the Word of God. I said, so people like me, you could quote the Scripture to me and I would respect you for it because I had been taught this is the very Word of God. I said the difference that I see today is that younger people who are around my age, when I got saved, I was 20, haven't been raised in the same way. They think it's just a book. They think it's a book like any other quote unquote holy book, whether it's the Bhagavad Gita, whether it's the Koran or whatever, they see the Bible as the same as any other book and they're all equal and they're all wrong. That's the difference. I said younger people today will question and argue and all not because they have honest doubts, but simply because they have grown up in an era of unbelief. I said whereas my generation was different, that's why when somebody approached me and opened up the Word and spoke to me, that's why I would listen with respect even if I didn't understand or disagreed with it. I said that is different today. Now if you open it up, people already think that it's an ugly book, doesn't mean anything, we shouldn't really listen to it and what has happened is people have no definition of what is right and what is wrong. So they call bitter sweet and sweet bitter. They call darkness light and light darkness. That's what's happened because they think these things are equal and they're all right and we also have a morality that is based on law. If it's legal, then it's moral and that's how people think.  If it's legal to abort a baby, then it's moral to abort a baby and we change the argument. I have a granddaughter, her name is Olivia. She's two years old. She was born a month early, my Olivia, a month early and that meant she had to be taken care of in a special way because she was born early. We weren't able to hold her when she was born. They had to rush her into the NICU and they had her being monitored in everything. I couldn't hold my wife and I, we couldn't hold our granddaughter. Her daddy couldn't hold his baby. Her mama couldn't even hold. She was in that kind of care. But you know the interesting thing and not so much that it's interesting but the fact, when you looked at her at eight months, she was a month early, when you looked at her at eight months, she was fully formed.  And as I was looking at her, I began to think according to the laws of the United States, this perfectly formed baby could have a needle place in the base of her skull and she could be sliced up and pulled out of that mother's room. This perfectly formed little baby could be aborted in our country. If you don't think evil is here, you're not thinking. Evil is here. It's taking its mask off and it's masquerading as laws. But that's what the United States has done. The United States has legalized what God has forbidden. And you have young people and this is no knock on young people. If you're young, it's no knock on you at all. It's a reality. I was raised in an era as my parents in previous generations where a Bible could actually be on a teacher's table. Could be on a teacher's table. But what we're living in today is get God out of the classroom. That's what we're living under. We're living in a day when over 15,000 older people can die in nursing homes and people are more angry at the governor who sent them back to the nursing homes. They're angrier at that governor for coming on to a woman. That's how screwed up our morality is.  There's something wrong here, guys. There is something wrong in that kind of thinking because if you don't care about babies in the womb, you are not going to care about old people in a nursing home. So don't tell me that morality is upside down. That's what we're dealing with. If you don't think, and I'm just speaking hypothetically, not you personally, don't get mad, but if you as a person do not think that evil can be welcome, you're not thinking. It is here already and the mask has been pulled off. And this is what's taking place, guys. I'm concerned. Why? Why? Because people don't want to hear the word of God and they will argue out of ignorance because they don't know it. In favor of things that God forbids and bitter has become sweet in this nation. And it's just the beginning. How are people going to accept the antichrist? Because he's going to come in the guise of peace and prosperity.  Who can make war against the beast? Who is like him? He's going to have a religious veneer and he's also going to have an authoritative presence of military strength and he's going to bring these things in and the world is going to follow him. They're going to receive the marks and all of that so they can buy and sell. They're going to do those kinds of things because he will bring in a plan to save the economy. And this is what we're going to deal with. If we don't think that's happening, it is we're being prepared right now. And this to me is of such concern that I'm taking this tone as I speak to you. I'm greatly concerned about this. I'm greatly concerned for my grandchildren. I've got 11 grandchildren soon to have 12. I'm concerned for my grandchildren. I'm concerned for the world that we're living to them, leaving to them. We need to bring Jesus Christ back to this nation and the church has to wake up. We have to wake up. The scripture says, awake. Awake thou that sleepest. Awake thou that sleepest and Christ will shine on you. We have to be aware. We have to be awake. We need to be prepared. This isn't a myth. This isn't a story. This isn't a simple book like other books. This is God's very word. Every word of this is true. Every word of it is pure. And God is warning us. And he will continue doing so until the day that Christ returns and with that sickle in his hand rings judgment. And I'll be honest with you. I believed it when I got saved at the age of 20. And I believe it now even more. That's why I told my parents about Christ. That's why I told my friends about Christ. That's why I started Bible studies. That's how I met my wife who got saved in my Bible study through the ministry of my sister. That's why because this matters. What's going on with our nation right now? What is happening? What is happening with us right now? How is it going to be that people will accept an antichrist? How is it that the climate will make it acceptable? Well, the acceptance of the antichrist is made possible by the rejection of the word of God. Again, the Bible is not trusted as God's word to man and the fruit of carnality. The fruit of this is carnality, a willful rejection of truth. The Apostle Peter gave us insight into the conditions of the last days. He said in Second Peter chapter three verses three and four, he said first, I want to remind you that in the last days there will be scoffers who will laugh at the truth and do every evil thing they desire. This will be their argument. Jesus promised to come back, did he? Then where is he? Why, as far back as anyone can remember, everything has remained exactly the same since the world was first created. So they will have scoffers. The word of God, when preached and taught accurately, is going to be looked at as being harsh and unloving. The person who will actually open and teach the word as it speaks is going to be looking at, looked at as judgmental. So people will begin to collect teachers who tell them what they want to hear. How do I know that? Paul prophesied it. Second Timothy four, three and four, he said, the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine or healthy teaching. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside voluntarily to myths. That's what they're doing right now. What's the fruit of this? A self-absorbed society bent on living the way it wants to. Paul said in Second Timothy three, verse one through five, mark this. There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. Having a form of godliness but denying its power have nothing to do with them. Having a form of godliness so go to church.  We pray for them. I pray for them. I have nothing but love in my heart. Really? They're not lovers of good. They're lovers of evil. And that's why faithful teachers are to carefully present the word of God to people. Hebrews three thirteen, exhort one another daily. Well, it's called today. Lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Just because it's legal doesn't make it moral. Just because some some person who doesn't know God and rejects the Bible and passes the law doesn't make it right. It's interesting how you have to be a certain age to buy alcohol. You even have to be a certain age to join the military. But we have people right now who are trying to pass a law to allow 16 year olds to vote. That's not a wise thing to do. I think most of us would agree unless you forgot what it's like when you were 16.   It's just the way it is. I raised four kids. And through the 16th year God helped me. And to give them the power of the vote. Why would I do that? They haven't made up their mind what is right and wrong yet. At 16 they're just learning. But here we are in society saying let's do that. We're really going in a direction that is very unwise to say the least and wrong in many ways. Guys we have opportunity to preach the gospel. In Canada recently they just the Canadian authorities just just arrested a pastor put him in jail for preaching. For preaching the word of God. This is happening. And there seems to be a move. I'm not saying there is because I don't know for sure but there seems to be a move in that direction to silence Christians.  They're already doing that. There are already people who are censoring and filtering. Why? Because if they can grab the minds then they grab the person. And that's going on right now. We're aware of it. Some of us perhaps aren't. That's taking place right now. Be aware of that. Speak the truth. Speak the truth of love. The days are evil. But we in Christ are overcomers. And we can speak the truth. And people are being set free. Because where there is darkness the light always can expose what it is and bring the truth. And that's why we preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. The people who sat in darkness will see a great light. And that light comes to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Continue to share the faith. Because we're entering into a period of history. In a way I'm blessed to know mom and dad. My mom and dad are in heaven. I'm blessed to know they went home to be with Jesus. Because my mama's heart was broken as she saw the evil. Like just a lot she was grieved and vexed over the evil that she saw in the land. She said this is not the world I grew up in David. It's not the world I grew up in. And when mama went home to be with Jesus I saw that as the mercy of the Lord to remove her from an area that was breaking her heart. As she saw the parades and she saw the laws and she saw the evil and she saw these things. She said, and so when mama went to be with Jesus I didn't grieve as deeply for her as I did when my dad went home. Because mama wanted to be with Jesus and so I bless the Lord that she was able to be with them. But we're still here. Let us be salt. Let us be light. Let us be vocal. Let us live for Jesus Christ. Let us demonstrate the love that we have for God through faith and obedience. Let us love his word and let us preach to the people who have yet to hear the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ that sets the prisoner free. That's the message that God has given to us. Let's make sure that we do that. We used to say when I first got saved get right or get left. I think I can say that again today. Get right or get left.


I'm Paul Djudich, lifelong Evertonian and scout at Everton FC Academy. If you can do something that you'd enjoy for the club that you love, it doesn't get any better. Everton is just my life and I love the club and it always will. For many years I coached the junior football team called Fair and Feather Junior Football Club. We used to train here through the week, particularly through the winter in St Margaret Mary's Gym. On one particular night I was coaching the Under Nines and there was a player in the Under Nines who was very good called Liam Davis. His younger brother came along with his mum. He was only six at the time, he wasn't even seven. He joined in and straight away you could see there was a lot of potential in there. He looked very, very good from the start. His awareness of the game at a young age was superb, good passing range, bags of energy, good shot and many needed one as well and just an all-round very, very good player. We used to have three pitches because we had that many players. Tomatech, the middle pitch while me and his dad took the outer pitches, that's how good he was. We knew that he could just get on with it and show the other players what to do. We had a number of trials at Everton and for whatever reason it just didn't work out for him. He'd been on to Cypher Tramir and he did brilliantly at Tramir. Back under that season I think it was around the March or the April. Again as part of the scout we used to watch the Liverpool primary schools, Liverpool boys games. Went to watch the game, Tom was playing and he was the best player on the pitch by a mile. He was on the day, he was absolutely fantastic. He just ran the game, passing range, everything about him just stood out. I said why didn't we sign this lad, can we please, please just try again. We managed to sign him which was brilliant. I've been a part 10 season ticker holder since it reopened after the great escape. When Godderson's rocking there's no better place to be. When I walk off the ground, especially in the early days, people were even about Tom. Tom was brilliant today, Tom did best today. It just fills me with pride every single time. The day made his debut for me and obviously more so for Tom was a magical day. It was very, very special. Just watching him warm off was absolutely unbelievable. To see him come on the pitch, proudest moment in football. Absolutely, words can't describe it. The man says the game, he just showed Tom for what he is absolutely outstanding. When he took the first player on and did his chop, ran into the box, obviously give the ball, slipped and still had the confidence to get up and do it was an amazing finish to chip it over to keeper. And the celebration was outstanding. For me it was just the wrong end of the pitch. Every lifelong event only, when you're at ZCAS, the air stands up on the back of your neck. But for me personally, when I know that someone has been involved in a young age and brought him to the club, is about to be running out on that pitch in that blue sheath. It's the most unbelievable feeling in the world.


A small community in the Northwest Territories, Deni Nukwe, otherwise known as Fort Resolution, on the south side of the Great Sloth Lake. But I now call the Yellowknife home. Can you please describe your program? I was involved with the Dishinta Center for Research and Learning, where I first was introduced to the program by taking a one-week-on-the-land course, the Self-Determination Short Course, where we learned about Deni history with regard to treaties and just a lot of first contact and relationship with settlers, as well as on-the-land learning and cultural aspects, hide tanning, harvesting and fishing and the tools therein. Can you tell me about the target audience of the program? Target audience, I would say individuals looking to pursue post-secondary education and or university credit, people who want to gain more of a connection with the land and learn more traditional skills, people who have small children or children, family members, that are able to come and volunteer or who can be supports while they're in the learning processes. Can you tell me sort of what the aim of the program is? I guess what you can accomplish through the program? I guess with starting with the Self-Determination Course, I've learned a lot about the history here in the North and it helped me see my roles and where my roles can be in current, I guess in our current time with government and with, you know, non-government and on-the-land processes and where I can share my knowledge. I've also done a lot of personal development through the program. I've connected with other programs that are similar to Deschinta, received a certificate through University of British Columbia, a community and land-based research program and this helped me begin my journey towards an undergrad. I'd really like to work towards a degree which nowadays everybody needs to have. So I guess the next question would be to describe sort of what happens within the program. I guess just sort of like a day in the life of the program. Learning to prepare for being on the land process in itself and it is ongoing. It's through governance circles and going through all of the aspects of being in a small community setting with a small group of people where everybody needs to work together and making sure that that works smoothly because even within that there's all the aspects of group normatives, storming, norming, stuff like that. It's working through those processes and understanding that that is a reality. And going through the selective readings are from reading the treaties to reading a lot of the decolonization work that's happening in Canada. It is reading a lot of creative works that come from a lot of creative indigenous people across Turtle Island. It is working with elders and learning to slow everything down in order to connect with an elder on that level where you're learning by doing and you're learning by watching and being completely humble and open and laughing at yourself and having your family and your kids being able to come to you at any point during the whole time is just so grounding and helpful. It's doing all the different crafts and having all these different tools and textiles available to you and fishing and berry picking and hide tanning and traditional medicines, the gathering of water and the cleaning of outhouses. And just every process involved in being in a setting like that, learning to cook for a big camp and then having to write about it all from your perspective and understanding and encompassing all that you've learned and making something that entails everything from your learning to what you want to learn and what you don't want to learn and just making sure it all kind of comes together and even in how it doesn't and it's understanding that and writing about that even is involved. So how do you know that you are being successful within the program or I guess how do you know that you're being successful or what allowed you to be successful? What allowed me to be successful is the support from the beginning possibility of applying and being accepted into the program. It's the support from the staff that's there to continuously tell you that you'll get through it and to, you know, being able to speak in a government circle and express what you need to and to hear what other people have to share and how you go through every moment in constant correction, in constant connection and it allows for a lot of self-reflection. It allows for a lot of, you know, time that's given in that supportive process when you just want to walk away and procrastinate and that's okay.  But it, I felt good that I was able to complete everything that was required in order to gain a certificate and to have that credit work towards one of my goals and a goal that was in part, you know, a cause to flourish. It was through this program that helped me know that the supports are there in programs like this to make it possible for me to work towards a degree, you know. It's given me that well-rounded view, I guess, in engaging with the elders, the aunties and uncles that are there and all the different learning skills and knowledge. What I've taken from it is being able to then, you know, connect with community members to find a lot of the aspects within myself that I'm able to share. I was raised on the land. I mean, you know, and since I started school, it's been more and more that I haven't had a connection to the land. It's, you know, it's having to always find the next job and do the next thing that kind of kept me away from doing a lot of those things that, you know, coming back to the North was a huge thing and having a program like this is very instrumental in my next generation being able to have that start like I had and it's like a awakening for me and it's building that within my son so that he always has that connection to the land and that he can build on that and he can grow with that. I mean, even me having been away from any on-the-land processes and just living in this economic world that we do live in, it was a sense of comfort and a sense of connectedness that I have had instilled in me and I want to instill that in my son so that it's always going to be there.  It doesn't have to be away from the land. It could be done on the land and that's what Deshinta has done for me it's being able to get those university credits and still be connected to a place that is really in my heart and it's protecting that, it's being a part of that. So I guess the next question is from your perspective, what is Indigenous education? It is basically having a connection to the land. It is a way of learning, a way of doing and with more language and land-based programming that our family and cultures promoted. I think is fundamental for our day and age here right now in the Northwest Territories. We are really only a generation and a half away from being strictly on the land so having programming like this and Indigenous learning is, it's a process like language. You know, it's when you're speaking Indigenous language or at least what I know of speaking Indigenous languages is that it is descriptive. It's not just a one-word answer, you know. It's describing something like where things have happened or how things have happened and how people are named. It's, you know, it's a living thing, you know, when you have land and language and that's just the way that when you're on the land it's a constant learning, constant movement where you can't get from a piece of paper. So I guess the next question and the last question is what is your vision for Indigenous education over the next 10 years? I would really love to see on the land programming for full semesters be a common thing. To be something that encompasses, you know, all the languages of the Northwest Territories because that can happen. I mean, look at, you know, where we are right now. Yes, we're on, you know, in the Northwest Territories. We're in a place where all the languages meet and all the languages are somehow connected and you know, like my grandfather worked for a company where he was able to be in every community in the Northwest Territories and he learned all the languages. He knew every dialect of the Northwest Territories. I would really love to be in a place where all of that happens in one place and it to be a common thing. I mean, in 10 years it's possible, maybe, but it is possible. And being on the land is actually, I think a little more or actually less costly than being in a building that needs power and everything else. You know, have a site like Plash for Lake that is self-sustaining. It happens everywhere in the North. It's just creating that, you know, in more settings. So to go back to question A, or sorry, one, E, how do you mature your success with the program? My success with the program came from the supports from the staff, from the students, from the supports on the sites, the community members that traveled through our locations, the time frames that allow for flexibility, the self-incorporating, well-rounded activity base, engaging with the elders, the aunties and uncles, the children being able to run everywhere, learning different skills. You know, I've even learned a lot from my son in the things that he's done with kids you. That's given him a lot of confidence in his abilities. The knowledge that, you know, I've learned just in watching the things I've learned about myself in, you know, the process there in camp at the larger facility. But what I've taken from it mostly is in coming back from that, connecting with community members and having reconnected and gained more knowledge about myself and on the land knowledge. I've gained more perspective on, you know, present issues in the North. It helped me engage more with community members, having more discussions, being more understanding of current issues in the North with regard to land and resources, to education to my child's education and what I want to see for him, where I want to continue my studies and how I want to do that.  With a program like this, because it allows me to go through all the... What is it? You know, everything that you go through when you're in school or working a full-time job, it's those, you know, emotional highs and lows and things when you're learning something new and it's being able to, you know, deflect from that for a little bit and have my child come and give me a big hug and tell me the things that he's learning and then runs off to go do the next thing. And I'm like, it just reawakens me, you know. So it helps hugely to know that he's there and safe and learning something new and gaining confidence in himself and he's in a perfectly, you know, safe environment even being out in the wilderness, you know. In fact, he's more safer there than he is in town. And it's gaining strength in that possibility of coming from a place like that and knowing that I could, you know, someday even give that to somebody else. I could be on the other end of that. That's strength for me.
