How exciting. Now listen, let's not forget about the people who are getting the grand prize ready for you at the part of a lifestyle estate in Somerset West. The design duos have a deadline looming for their master bedroom but before we get into that particular challenge, let's recap what's happened thus far. Last time on Winner Hope. With two challenges complete, the design duos were given the task of completing their master bedroom as space the owner will be spending most of their time. Team Contrast Control chose to collaborate on a bespoke wall pendant that combines an African jewellery inspired wooden design with Keu Mille's own personal abstract artwork. Do you guys want to give it a try? Try my hand. Get him, Nick. I'm glad I'm not weaving that thing. I felt like I had five thumbs on either hand.  Oh, there she is. There she is. Our team is here. Yeah. Check. Cool. Wow. Awesome. It is really cool. What you can do with the TV? I like this ambient mode. I reckon we use this whole TV thing in our lounge. This TV is amazing. But it's a bit too big for our bedroom so we'll keep it for the lounge. And it will work as an artwork in the lounge. It adds to the concept. Yes, I'm excited. Great stuff. And at the halfway mark, the pervapieps were nowhere to be found. Okay, well, it appears they're not here. They always bring cool surprises so my hope is wherever they are right now, they're making magic. It's D-Day for our master bedroom challenge and we are waiting for Cosy Home to install our cabinets. We can't wait to see everything all in place. It's just amazing. Can't rush perfection, but there's still quite a bit to do. We have the cupboards that are in, but they're not complete. And then, I think, otherwise, we're waiting on the window boxes to be complete so that we can get the blinds in.  I mean, it's just chaos after chaos after chaos. My goodness. Maybe we should go high, actually, because if it's going to overlap, things on top. Seeing those pendant lights go in just makes everything look like it's going to come together so well. We were presented with dimensional problems on our bed base. Number 99. Obviously, of course, always. And we've had to MacGyver and make some quick calls and bring up some problem solutions. And here, we have created a nice... Over beautiful bed base. Over nice. And then, see the storm people? Yeah, they're here. There's actually no mirrors in the room. Our kitchens haven't arrived. Our art pieces are not there. I mean, the room is practically empty. All we have is a barcade and a blue wall. I'm sitting there, you know, waiting for something good to come. I mean, I'm just waiting for something good. And the record is with Emma and our beautiful artwork. Oh, it's exciting. We are so excited. This is exactly what we had in mind. Girl power, man. Welcome to our house. We'll see your piece and how we positionalized it. No, it's fantastic. It's really great how it fits in slugs in perfectly. Yeah. No, it looks great. And the colours you guys have chosen work beautifully with it. So it's great. Well done. Thank you. We decided to go with a slightly less labour intensive headboard this round for a DIY undertaking inspired by our moss, of course. It's going very well. We're loving the almost moss-like movement that this velvet creates. So it's looking very cool. Caesar stone box is now in and that vanilla noir is super stoked with that. Now it's the blinds on their way in and you can't wait to see how these work. We really went the extra mile to block out blinds that can go from the bottom or from the top or in the middle or wherever you want. Wherever. So we can't wait. The length, the work, the mood is on. Deadline day can always get quite hairy and lots of different cogs in the works. The dark colour is supposed to go on today but I mean we can clean it. This white one is this one. But it should all come together. We're all hustling and doing our best. I wish people would talk but no, they just keep going. We'll just paint the whole room grey. Let's just paint it all grey again. Even though we've already fixed it from being painted wrong the first time. The Coalab piece. So we've just seen the pendants but we can't wait to rip open this main piece and see how it's going to come together. We're just going to frame it organically. This is our collaboration piece from Campus Lawrence. Checking it out in real life for the first time. Are you okay? I just want to get a little closer. Don't any fall. Catch me. We are finally getting our curtains up just as Carol recommended over the shoulder but they're still pretty heavy though. I can feel the burn. Shoulders are burning a little bit but lifestyle fitness, yo. Excited to get these things up and then off of my shoulder. See the stone shelving has arrived things are coming through but I mean time. Time is our issue today. Yeah, we're going to get it done. Like we usually do. The magic hour. The magic hour. They're calling it the magic hour but oh my word. When I arrived with that horn those rooms had better be done. Stand by for all that drama. Now there is such little time left for these design duos and they're going to need all the magic they can get and if you want to start a chance of winning your choice of one of the three completed apartments at the end then make sure that you vote for your favorite design duo right now. You go to privateproperty.co.z You have to enter before 7.45pm tonight to be eligible. Then after the break it's deadline day for the duos so stay right where you are. Search for a home on any device anytime, anywhere. Private property. A home for everyone. Welcome back to part of play Lifestyle Estate in Somerset West developed by Baldwin Properties. This is Winner Home. Now great design takes time. The design duos have very little of will they meet deadline for the master bedroom challenge? We're itching to get our last few things in. We just want to put everything in like can this room finish? Everything's unwrapped and waiting we're just waiting so we can run and put it in. Controls control. Sorry I'm out of breath. I ran out the stairs. Very bad news. One hour to go guys. Get going where's the bed? It's coming. Just waiting for these covers to be finished. How are you feeling ready to rock and roll? Is it going to be done and dusted in one hour? Yes it's going to be. It's not very chill. Too chill for my liking. Too chill it's one hour. Good luck just kill it. Right so Team ORNK had some grand ideas at the half way mark but it's an hour to go. How's it going? How's it going in here? Oh my word. I know right? Do you guys know it's an hour to go? Yeah we know. At least all the groundwork is done. All we have to do is just sweep out. Come step over here for a second. Guys this is I've never seen an hour point towards the end of deadline this much chaos. All the cleaning this one needs to be done. Are you guys taking this seriously enough to be able to get this done in time? Everything else is just ready for install. We just have to clean it out and then Where's your partner in crime? She's coming. Where is she? I'm getting all curtain. Right we're collecting curtains with an hour to go. Will they be complete? Yes we will. When it looks bad all you can do is just have faith that everything will come together. And I mean the bigger the struggle the better the victory. Yes I love the attitude. Everything's coming together despite there being so many cogs in the works. We arrived at Permapeeps at the halfway mark. We weren't sure what was happening because it was an empty shell and I'm looking forward to seeing what's happening now. Hello this is looking so much better than halfway mark. Oh my word I'm excited and glad. How stunning. I'm so glad you like it. Yeah we had to wait until cabinets were in before we could get our stuff in to have everything out their way to install so as soon as everything was in we. I don't want to disturb you at all you guys got one hour to go all right to get everything neat and up and ready to rock and roll. Those look cool. How are you feeling? I'm going to bring some bad news. One hour.  We'll make it. Yeah we're good. This far into the competition I would have expected that our design duos learned time management. But have they? Duos you have 15 minutes 15 minutes. What a nail-biting race to the finish line of challenge three on winner home season five. Team R&K like they had a lot of work still to do at the one hour mark with one team member down then obviously we had team contrast control looking as smooth as always and in last but not least obviously we had the perma-peeps they haven't won a challenge yet and all pressure was on they seem to be done at the one hour mark. It's deadline time. For once that horn did not make us cry. Yeah. Yeah that horn that darn horn ruining our mellow vibes but we're done. It looks amazing. That's it. Time's up. Stubborn faith. Time is officially up to be eligible for the Capitic Open the Door giveaway but if you were too slow this week don't fret you can still vote for your favourite design duos and be entered into next week's draw you're still ready for that one and of course you then also stand a chance of winning the grand prize. One of the three beautiful apartments at part of their lifestyle estate. Indeed my word those design contestants know how to push the boundaries of their time I don't know how at one hour to go they just paint on the walls and then next thing Waiting for carpets. You say I tell you this is reality TV they sit there and they're so chilled on the camera and then you realise oh gosh deadline time I cannot wait to see what the results are going to look like but let's say you guys win one of those apartments but you just want to rent it out perhaps you're not one of those people who want to go and live in the apartment out of and you've ever wondered what it might go for well let's take a quick look at the private property app so I can show you how to you sort of compare that to other prices if you download the app itself private property has got one of the most user friendly apps I have used thus far right as you open up the main page there's a little icon at the bottom that says search that you'll find in there you'll obviously want to click rentals as opposed to sales you type in your search bar summer said west just to compare to the places in summer said west that obviously are the same now you need all the places in summer said west which isn't very helpful to you compared to similar apartments that you've got within the right amount yeah exactly so you click the little filter button at the top there and then there you can select a whole bunch of things I'm going to select property types to show you a flat because that's what the ones we're doing at part of play are their flats bedrooms there are three of them in these apartments I'll select three plus then the number of bathrooms they've got two in these homes I'm going to click two bathrooms and these are fully furnished decorated obviously by our design duos I click the sort of furnished button once you click search on the app itself it'll show you and kick out all the different results in that same field with those filter items on them and you'll see that there's prices ranging from sixteen thousand five hundred in part of play itself to twenty two thousand nine hundred rents you see that range and because our apartments obviously have been on national television and you guys have been watching them on TV I'm pretty sure they'll go for more yeah as seen on TV as seen on TV as a sticker right outside the door yeah on your rental contract so it's as simple as that really simple to use on the app go downloaded private property well it's time to see what your possible future master bedroom might look like then ladies this is insane like I'm in a spa oh it's beautiful thank you so much thank you that makes us so happy to hear we love it I'm going to know what the idea was in the space we decided to bring in some muted color it's nice and soft and not over stimulating as a as a bedroom space I love the fact that I feel like I'm in the outdoors it's got such an essence of Africa our clients has that African feel so we wanted that outdoor feel to come in with the African bits and pieces and you know that kind of was more African than nature you know like a piece of literal earth kind of thing yeah all eyes are going to be on you guys from the judges perspective because obviously you are the only team to have not won a challenge just yet so are the elements that you've produced that you're just in love with we've given them the minimalist angle and now we've given them a whole lot of storage and just in our opinion we've already put in a lot of effort here so we're hoping that they feel the space and that they like it if they don't then we're going to start taking things personally for me personally I'm in love with our headboard that we made ourselves as permanent people you have to touch it it's just amazing cool in this day and age you can buy anything in a box or in a store so bespoke design is what our judges will be looking for what are your bespoke pieces our bed base is bespoke manufactured a beautiful steel bed base we also have our custom dirty pink velvet curtains which we dip dyed the bottom of and we intended for it to be darker but as soon as we saw that beautiful color that matched the stitching in our scatter cushions so perfectly we were just like no don't touch it like leave it as is happiness all around what are you thinking might be some of the concerns we're hoping that our bathroom space translates into our bedroom space as effectively as we've hoped it does with the black steel and our slim bedside units and bringing the plants into the space as well we've got a few general paint snags and little things here and there that we're hoping they don't look too closely at but overall we are super proud and just chuffed in general with our space we love it wish we could stay here just from my side a huge congratulations on this challenge I saw you poured your heart and soul into your master bedroom it's all up to the judges now thanks so much good luck even from your television screens and up close those finishes were just impeccable and it's obviously all thanks to those guys at Cozy Home they fabricated all the cupboard units in our design duo's apartments but the perma peeps had something special in mind for their master bedroom so we look at the perma peeps design of this main bedroom utilisation of the space of how they lay this out I think it's a magnificent usage of this space you've got hanging space above and below and then a nice soft closing draw in the centre nice easy accessible it's not low down then they went and they're in centre between the his and hers beautiful little cupboard for shoes which I think is functionally very good usage of a space like this this is literally the newest material from Nova lamb just landed from Europe the latest colours it was literally off the ship that we got the boards and the edging in here beautiful colour of basalt mixed with oxide between the two colours duo colours in one space is the trends that's happening in Europe at the moment if we go from here what they've done in the opposite wall I really think very clever also one of the new colours called natural concrete and gives a nice functional space for a unit like this to have extra storage space and not just artwork they're really really well designed from the perma-peeps and using the newest trends and newest colours available now that was a special collaboration they've done amazing work with all the other design duo so keep a close eye to that cabinetry because you might be seeing some more special treats thanks for all the treats that have been coming through if you haven't used the hashtag winner home we don't know that you exist so make sure you do it immediately we'd love to read your comments live on the

reasons up to 250,000 rand based on your need capitech welcome back to winner home from part of play lifestyle estate in summer said west developed by Baldwin properties our design duos have now completed their master bedrooms the perma-peeps have to offer I then went to go and visit contrast control to see what they have up their sleeve sub gents master bedroom no shoes please what socks do I have on today don't look guys this place is a sanctuary it's awesome why thank you thank you sir what were the ideas when you put this together so basically how we envisioned this was it being a very moody very lux kind of room we just wanted to add a lot of detail in it but still keeping it simple very comfortable with two wins in the bag what is going to be the wow factor in your master bedroom that will convince the judges to give you that third win one of the favorite bespoke pieces in this space would be the built-in covers because they contrast the pink carpets looks like it's a black wall there but it kind of works well with the lights one thing we put a lot of effort into was kind of using up the rest of our oggy I think that brings a lot of natural warmth into the room and the art piece I had to collaborate with Candice Lawrence who wove around that frame and I drew the inside of it and no curtains well we got the blinds and Sarah also recommended we use the bottom up blinds block up was a big expense so the winnings from the previous round really helped us out with that so we weren't going broke based on the judges feedback previously what could some of their concerns be about the master bedroom I don't know you tell us no I'm kidding but we've put a lot into the home way in the previous spaces and decorating in that and this one we decided to keep it very minimalist and clean so that could be a criticism for us we're quite happy with how it's turned out could it be too masculine I think we've contrasted the feminine edges quite well in this space and yeah just the general finishes great gents while the judges are on their way let's make it 3 for 3 please and thank you can I put my shoes back on yes yes yes please take your shoes I was starting to no team Mauren hey I think this deserves kind of like a slow clap for you guys I was so nervous this wouldn't come together look at you look at you look at us talk me through your ideas in your master bedroom I mean this person is going to spend most of the time in here or you just wanted to create a mood where you just want to get in and sleep yeah and it was very imperative that we play with lights I don't know about other people but bedrooms are a place of rest so it's imperative when they come in here that it almost takes them away from the ordinary world indeed they're walking into something that is personal and that's very intimate let's get to the key elements in your master bedroom and begin with this painter everything when you enter the room it's overwhelmingly gorgeous and stunning this is a 3D mural done by a beautiful lady called Emma Norse we wanted her to play with colour we wanted to pick from our on-street bathroom pick some colours as well it's magnificent and other key pieces the sculpture mood it's so little but so significant again we adore it yeah and it just picks up on all the charcoal that's in this room you know all the colours have to complement each other that literally puts skull back in sculpture what about the feedback you received from the previous two challenges did you change anything they spoke about us not having too many bespoke items done but this time we were like let's go all out let's give them a feature wall let's give them a mural let's give them a stone shelving our barcade with lights and our fabulous sculpture over there as designers you need to learn to be self-critical what could be some of the elements that the judges will maybe not like or feel concerned by like for instance no cupboard space ooh I don't know what they would not like we've kind of played with every element if you want to talk about colour we brought it into the space but not too much if you want to talk about texture the curtains are different you know it's fabric you're talking about 3D effects of the wall mirror we've played with lighting we've also played with the space because of course as you would know our closets were in the glam room and also the must-have bedroom to be honest in these spaces was not so big for us to have both cabinet spaces and a large bed right ladies I wish you all the best the judges are on their way good luck thank you so much Dan bye bye oh man do we think that we're going to be done on time with one hour to go and nothing in that room and they pulled off literally magic send through your thoughts on their space and on Twitter we'd love to hear what you guys think of their beautiful design now as you guys know this season takes place at Potifle Lifestyle Estate in Somerset West which is developed by Baldwin properties and if you would like a closer look at what they have to offer the various types of units are available to view 7 days a week from 8am to 5pm with an agent on site

it out every visitor will be receiving a 100 rand voucher from a Michi restaurant located inside the estate itself so how about that a meal with your viewing now with all the work behind them the design duos can't fully just relax yet the judges are approaching come back to Winner Home brought to you from Potifle Lifestyle Estate in Somerset West developed by Baldwin properties now the master bedroom challenge was no easy feat we literally threw our design contestants into the deep end it's time for the judges to view their apartments and decide whether they will sink or swim right in the nick of time duos congratulations however thanks for watching we'll see you next time duos congratulations however on completing your first single challenge on Winner Home Season 5 your master bedrooms they are spectacular well done the real question now is who was napping during this challenge and who was the master of the master bedroom the judges have arrived to view your master bedrooms the judges are here there goes our quiet confidence judges are here we forgot to bake the cookies again oh no next time they are Slade Brooks property executive Baldwin properties Brian Courtney from private property Bhut Le Matthole Kabul Design Architects and your guest judge and mentor for this challenge Sarah Ord the judges are here and we really hope that they appreciate that massive canvas we have amazing that art is spectacular oh wow thank you thank you Brian I think team RNK showed great taste in their artwork in the main bedroom it was a real showstopper I've never seen anything like it before that art piece opposite the bed is just extraordinary it's so textural you almost feel you need to back up against the pillows you lie in bed and you can see it in all its glory but then in stark contrast the wall opposite is a completely flat matte surface just with the skull on the wall I felt it needed a little bit more texture maybe when I first walked into team RNK's room the blue wall behind the bed it threw me off a little bit I'm seeing a lot of lighting in this room let's see how it looks with the curtains closed I went and closed the curtains and changed everything the rooms lighting boarded up the drama came through it became a new room it was cozy and quite an elegant feel to it at the end I can definitely see what they're doing with the lighting in this room now creates a lot more drama I'm loving what I'm seeing they've done a lot of work in terms of the bulkheads different kinds of lighting again I see they use this idea which is a good one to cover the curtain rail gives you different depths in the ceiling I love the vertical striking bulkhead the colour they've used the recess that gives them the volume and defines the headboard they could have even done a lot more the artwork was very striking I did feel however they didn't have a strong idea that they were running with there were some drawbacks like they could have added some storage in the side tables for example but you can't help but notice the overall impression was beautiful while the judges are busy doing their thing it's a nice hot day so ice creams yeah I can't even think that it's just a stone's throw away you have this awesome strand of promenade like basically on your doorstep here it's amazing we're at the beach just around the corner grabbing some fresh air, some sand in our toes you just do ease outs the nerves you know this guy couldn't hold himself just run straight into the ocean like a little dolphin give me half a chance no that water was delicious crystal clear and super warm what else? always awesome bumping into team contrast control we always have a good time when we bump into them and yeah they're fun to hang out with seems like the girls have the same ideas as us the nerves also getting to them too but nice to bump into them off-site sand, vitamin Ds good views it's so peaceful compared to sight very very peaceful I really hope those judges appreciate those blinds and the ceiling, the burn ceiling we had to burn that ourselves yeah some might say we might have needed like an ottoman or something in there but I'm quite happy for it to be like an open space but see sure I remember these from the spare room beautiful the guys brought design elements into their main bedroom beautifully that feature wall above the bed as you walked in was just spectacular and in those little storage boxes on the right there's a little cupboard similar to what we saw in the spare bedroom so that was a nice touch I love what they've done also with the ceiling it's the same wooden effect and this time around the cupboard can open it's right recessed and they've kept the same texture so that's beautiful I really love the ceiling because it was feedback they've been given and they did something about it they tried to resolve and work on the materials and the texture on the bulkhead yeah very nice and I see they use no advice on the concertina blinds that go up and down they went with the blinds that I'd suggested which I think really work in terms of framing the view as almost a piece of artwork on its own definitely loving those blinds but if I have to say there's something amazing in this room there must be this modern dream catcher and then pulling it in with the side lamps it's all just brought in together well it gives it a good flow to the room the contrast in the room with all the new colours all the different shades all the different materials it's great but one niggle for me going up the wall there's a white corners on the top and unfortunately I just don't see it tying into the ceiling I did think that black ceiling was a bit too much it did dark in the room not a fan the cupboard space you've got a full blown wardrobe in there although it is quite imposing being so dark but I think the mirror on the two outside doors breaks that so they did well to create a very plush quirky kind of space we really hope the judges notice how we've brought in the natural stone element through from our bathrooms into the space we also hope that they notice how big those boulders are and how heavy they are and how it was difficult to get lucky wow I love the comeback on the cupboards there's definitely a lot of cupboard space in this place besides I'm not having enough storage and this time they really went to town about that sure the finish on the cupboards is incredible gives that whole rock heavy feel like the bathrooms but beautiful beautiful the permit people did a great job with their main bedroom the way they brought through that stone effect on the cupboards was amazing there was a lot of storage space which was a bonus it was really clever how they linked that through to the bathrooms with the slates in the bathrooms that was wonderful I like the use of different types of lighting that sort of basket weave idea that fills the space and these low ones next to the bed makes it all quite moody the immediate sensation you get is of beautiful texture and very tactile fabrics and surfaces you really don't get the impression that there's anything synthetic in there it's all very natural even the very gentle muted colour scheme you want to lie on that bed I say I'm quite happy over here with my natural stone next to me use some plants above me the permit peeps unit today I probably took my breath away I love the natural flow all the green elements big rock features inside there gives a nice tranquil peaceful vibe to the unit definitely somewhere I could see myself getting a good glass of wine and finishing my day off I can make it myself a bit too comfortable in here should we leave you to it I'm going to have a look some more of the details in this room

competition who will walk away will the judges vote for the master bedroom let's head back to part of play to find out more can you believe it design duos were officially halfway there congratulations on completing your third challenge on winner home season 5 initially you might have thought that the master bedroom was a simple challenge but as you quickly learnt it comes with its own challenges the judges have viewed each of your spaces and it's time to reveal their feedback let's start with you team R and K that custom art piece on your wall all the judges had to say was wow congratulations they loved your custom design elements you brought into the space like your bespoke bulkhead in the way the light bounced off it however with so many different ideas in your space they felt like something was lacking to just tie it all together I don't know what these judges want I love them but like what do they want the permapieps the judges loved how you brought all your natural elements from your master bathroom right into your master bedroom your headboard was also a hit as well as the finishes you chose for your cupids however there were a little bit concerned that your client might bump their head on that low shelf above your bed we were a little bit worried about that shelf but at least everything else has definitely impressed the judges and yeah we did our best team contrast control the judges loved your bespoke art piece above your master bed they also enjoyed how you brought elements from your other rooms into your master bedroom like those on your wall however with the dark ceiling and those black cupids did you perhaps make the room a bit too moody I'll take that criticism I'm quite happy with how the room feels and came across I guess it's just like taste you know taste levels which what do you like with that out the way it's time to announce our winning duo this was the toughest decision our judges had to make thus far and the winner of the master bedroom challenge is the permapieps just want to win at least as the winners of this challenge you'll receive an extra 5000 rand added to your budget to add value to your properties congratulations ladies I think that after we've now won this challenge we definitely have a little bit more confidence whoo keen for the next challenge we really need to bring it now oh competition is getting tight hey yeah no it really is anyone's game at this point congratulations once again to the permapieps for their first challenge win in the competition they would literally let me have it if they didn't win that challenge I'm so excited for them because they poured their heart and soul into that one and I saw you guys saw the same thing with all the tweets that came through hashtag win home thank you

Consistent Professor, Electrons Department, The Blood is Soul of Food. Now in this video lecture we are going to focus on the feedback in amplifiers. Now at the end of this video lecture, these are the outcomes that after the end of this video, the student is able to describe types of feedbacks, then he will analyze effect of negative feedback and is able to specify various negative feedback topologies. Friends, we know in the amplifier the number of parameters which are of utmost importance. For example, gain, bandwidth, stability. Now we expect that we design amplifier for certain gain, for certain bandwidth and many parameters. And we expect that these parameters should remain constant. Now we know here we design this amplifier for certain gain. And we hope that this gain parameter should not change at all. Even if there is a change in supply voltage or there is change in the temperature and various parameters. Notice observed that even if you design this circuit, first required parameters here. And even if I use a very good quality components, it is seen that some of the parameters are keep changing. Because in the amplifiers use transistors, now these devices are non-linear. That is they show different changes when some parameters are changing. For example, if I change temperature, it is seen that the current in the collector or current in the base is get affected. And so that the output of this amplifier does not remain constant. And hence there is a change in the gain, there is change in the bandwidth and number of parameters. So that we have to make confirm that for a good amplifier, there should not be any changes in all this parameter. Even though there is change in some parameter around the circuit. That is why we are going to employ a concept of. Naturally in the feedback, there are three main components. That is one is amplifier, second is the feedback. And there is one more concept when I employ this feedback, we are having amplifier with the feedback. Now we know here, as I said here earlier, the feedback is given back to the input here. So feedback may be in the phase of input signal or feedback may be out of phase with input signal. Now whenever we feed the outputs signal back to input in the same phase. So that the feedback signal and the input signal get added together. Now this kind of feedback is called as a positive feedback. Whereas in the other case, whenever we are going to feedback the input out of phase with the input here. That is the part of output is feedback to the input here is normally called the feedback signal is out of phase with the input signal. This kind of feedback is called. Whenever we get feedback here, it is seen that the system gain and the response will be get stabilized here. Because we know here, the circuit characteristics such as system gain and response can be precisely controlled here with the help of feedback. Secondly, the feedback gives me one very important achievement here. That is the output is independent of variations in the supply voltage and variations in the environmental conditions such as temperature and the pressure. It is also observed that with the feedback in the circuit, the signal distortions are get minimized because we are trying to make the output independent of the components in the circuit. Because components are not linear or nonlinear in nature of working there. And moreover, as I said earlier, the frequency response gain and bandwidth can be controlled precisely as we require. So these are the benefits of feedback here. And that's why we are going to employ the feedback in the circuit. Now what is feedback? Now this diagram shows you how the feedback is achieved here in the circuit. On the right hand side, you are going to see two blocks here. One is the amplifier. It is having again a voltage gain is called AV. This one feedback network called the feedback circuit that is beta. Now you see that the input is the voltage VI and the output is voltage VO. Now the voltage VO is fed back to the feedback circuit having beta as a feedback factor. Now he is going to modify the output by the factor beta. Normally beta is having value less than 1. So that the modified V input as I said here as I shown here in this case will be given as the collection of this VO and the feedback voltage. Here VIF is called the feedback voltage that is beta into VO. On left side, we are going to show the same thing here. There is a summation box here that is adding the voltage that is the feedback voltage to the input voltage. It is either in phase or out of phase. It is suppose out of phase it is called negative feedback and so on. Now these are the basic elements of this feedback network. First is the input signal. As I said this is an input given by the input source here that is going as a AC input. Output voltage is a voltage of amplifier and it has got two states. Suppose feedback is not there. It is normally called the output without feedback. I mean feedback is employed. It is called output without with the feedback here. Secondly, the feedback network. Now in this network, we are going to use some electronic components. Normally there are passive components such as resistors. And they are going to modify the voltage according to the output here. Now in this area, we are going to show two simple forms of the feedback here. On left hand side, we are feeding back the voltage as input of feedback network here. It is normally called as a voltage feedback. Whereas on the right hand side, we are going to feed the output current and that creates the effect as a feedback through the feedback network here. So it is normally called the current feedback. So that we can summarize here. The feedback can be either voltage or the current. Suppose feedback is the voltage. It is normally called the feedback voltage feedback. Suppose feedback is the current quantity. It is normally called as a current feedback. Suppose voltage feedback is out of phase with the input here. That is called negative voltage feedback. And suppose the current which creates the signal across the input here out of phase with the input voltage or the input current here. It is normally called the negative current feedback. Let us try to find out here some simple calculations. We are going to first find out here the open loop gain. Now in this condition, the amplifier is having no feedback. So input is the voltage Vi and the output is voltage Vo. So the open loop gain is normally a ratio of voltage Vo upon Vi is called as a open loop voltage gain. That is AB equal to Vo upon Vi. Let us try to find the close loop voltage gain. Now in this case, we are going to assume here the feedback is negative. That is the feedback voltage is out of phase with the input voltage. Now we know here. Now here in this circuit, Vo dash is a voltage with the feedback. So it is normally a product of the voltage gain of the amplifier into the voltage given as input to the amplifier. So here the feedback voltage is nothing but the Vo dash. That is, that is now given as the Vo dash into 1 plus AV beta is equal to A into Vi. Just see the diagram here. We are going to find out this expression easily. Now by arranging all these terms, we can say that the voltage gain with the feedback is a ratio of Vo dash upon Vi. So it is coming as AV upon 1 plus AV beta. As we know here, beta is always compressing passive components such as resistors. So when I use a very good called resistors in the circuit here, we find that the beta normally stand constant here. So we can say that the voltage gain with the feedback normally remains very constant here. And this not bending one, the supply voltage and other parameters such as temperature or pressure in the environment. So that we can confirm that with the help of feedback, we are going to stabilize the voltage gain to some constant level. Now these are some important parameters you must remember. Again we are going to just summarize here the benefits of negative feedback. The first is this increase in input resistance, decrease in the output resistance, bandwidth get increased, distortion get minimized. There is less distortion as output here. Then it is also found that sensitivity of the circuit get decreased here is a good parameter and stability in the gain is get increased. Friends, before I end here, just let's put some focus on different types of connections also called topologies that we can use in the negative feedback system. The first type is called the voltage-size feedback. Second is the current series, current shunt and the voltage shunt. I feel friends, the video is very helpful to you to understand the concept of feedback. And we hope that we are just going to carry over some more topics in the same field here in the coming videos. These are my references. Thank you friends. Thank you very much for watching my video.


Increasingly, and also through the work of the China-Africa Forest Governance Platform, we have had Chinese investors come up openly and request us to work with government to assist them, to be able to explain to them some of these policies, some of these recommended investment practices. And they've mentioned issues like they want to know more about environmental policies, they want to know more about environmental laws, they want to know more about tax policies, they want to know more about labor laws. So through the work of the China-Africa Forest Governance Platform, there's more willingness and more openness from the Chinese investors to learn more and be able to understand better some of these environmental laws.


Welcome back to JSA TV and JSA podcast where we're covering the latest stories trends and innovations from leaders across the digital Infrastructure world and we're sitting here at PTC and beautiful Honolulu, Hawaii right now and right now I'm joined by Chris Downey with FlexCentral. Thanks so much for stopping by. Yeah, thanks for having me It's great to be here. Have you been enjoying PTC so far? Absolutely I this is probably my 15th PTC so I've been able to see you know the conference grow to from you know more of a buyer exchange to and you know kind of industry leading Conversation agenda, so it's been awesome. Yeah, absolutely It's it's definitely turned into a campus event here in the industry. So we're so glad that you're here Yeah, before we dive in and talk a little bit more about what you have going on at FlexCentral We want to point out greener data, of course We've got the last copy here on the table But you are going to be an author contributing to our next chapter coming out very soon Earth Day of this year Can you give us a little sneak peek of what your chapter is about? Yeah, sure And I was it was a privilege to be able to participate There's a lot of a lot of great topics in the greener data Book here, so I'm looking forward to the to the release if you will but I'd say for my part it was really about the evolution and the Innovation of data center technologies and so in particular at a time when sustainability has become You know a really important thing for the industry and and also the world So I talk about how you know advanced power and cooling technologies have changed or quite frankly need to change if they're going to continue to to really allow for the digital transformation that They're really our customers are looking for and the and the world needs so it's a very dynamic area and and you know, I think I have some credibility to lend to How that has evolved and really what needs to happen over the course of the next decade Well, we look forward to reading the chapter. Awesome. Yeah. Thanks. All right Well, let's switch gears here just a little bit and talk about what's been going on lately with FlexCentral So you recently announced FlexCentral fabric. Can you tell just tell us a little bit about that and how Your customers will be using that. Yeah, absolutely So perhaps just before I before I get to that FlexCentral's got a really a national platform of data centers We have 41 facilities across 19 US geographies But interconnection really the glue that that makes that a platform Is is really the network resources that we bring to bear So we've been investing in really network resources of FlexCentral for the last 20 years but in the last seven years in particular really building capabilities that are are almost The first time the market has seen it. So FlexCentral fabric is really a next generation solution that allows for software defined Software-defined Networking capability and and really software definite that software divine component really make it makes it almost seamless for the customer to To consume that that resources, but because we have a broad range of interconnection solutions within the FlexCentral Platform that ability to access all of those capabilities over a single port is really the The first time component of the FlexCentral fabric offering. So we have a whole array of resources from IP transport to direct private line Connections between between facilities that we call data center interconnect. We provide our own private private cloud resources to customers We also provide federation to the hyperscale cloud resources, and then we also have some virtualized Product capabilities on the data protection front, which has become Increasingly important to almost every customer in the world and so really over that single single port connection It's kind of one and done so you can connect to all of those resources that are embedded in the flex any Flex anywhere platform over that single connection and that that here to four hasn't been available to to customers So we're very excited about it. Absolutely. It's something to be excited about Yeah, you mentioned flex anywhere and I wanted to ask you about the flex anywhere platform So how do you define that? And then what are those main benefits for the customers and the partners? Yeah, so the flex anywhere platform is really our moniker for everything that we do within the within that that breadth of data center capabilities that I that I talked about earlier and so it's it's about reach which gives customers the the ability and the agility to scale Wherever they need to and it also Provides the optionality to access resources on on demand that are elastic based on the requirements of the customer Whether it's a requirement today or it's a requirement a three three three years from now So flex anywhere is not just about geographic reach it's about flexing to the the resources be it physical in terms of colo or physical level cost connects or to To flex to products that you're going to need so it's both about reach But it's also about Scalability within the product themselves and with our industry Shifting and evolving so quickly you have to be ready to quickly turn it on and flex to where you need to be Speaking of the future. I would be remiss if I didn't ask you while we've got you here What do you see as far as trends for 2024 and beyond in the co-location? Yeah Well, it's it's a great question because 2023 really saw a whole set of unprecedented Trends I'd say set upon the industry and all and all great things but really size which shifts in the way that Our product is consumed and thus the expectation of how quickly and at what scale we need to deliver it And that's not just the data center itself. It's the interconnection that enables Really the Federation of the those large-scale data sets anywhere and everywhere they need to go and and so I'm you know Really talking about the AI and GPU Compute capability that is now, you know available to everyone. That's really transforming The way that people consume our resource so for 2024 I think it's keeping pace with that is critically important But then also recognizing that there may be additional seismic shifts about how our customers And I'm kind of talking about the enterprise customers here consume our resource how do they consume a color resource relative to a virtualized compute resource because Given some of the constraints on raw on raw materials There may have to be an elasticity in and other products that still allow the compute to kind of To be as agile as it needs to be and what is to your point become an incredibly complex Dynamic in in the data center domain. Yeah Well anything else you want our viewers to know about flexential and what you might have coming up in the next year Yeah, for us as we as we looked at 2024 and beyond. It's really about Scale and and and bringing the resources that we've invested so much time and effort in to our customers in as as Dynamic and as scalable ways as possible. And so And we talked about interconnection here in particular. That's that's really a focal part of our business It's really a lifeline for For making our data center resource as dynamic as it needs to be for customers So you'll see flexentials and we've committed that to our existing customers We'll continue and invest in that year in and year out and and And always great to to be here at PTC Well, it's always it's great to have you here at the JSA TV desks So thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your experience here at PTC for the 15th year you said yeah 15th year so It's gonna be great. It's been great so far and I'm on a panel a little bit, but thank you for your time as well Absolutely. Well, thanks again Chris for stopping by and thanks to our viewers for tuning in and stay connected


Sir, we assume charge of Camp Covington. Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 11 relieved the Army's 84th Engineer Battalion at Camp Covington on U.S. Naval Base Guam recently. Lieutenant Commander Chuck Roy told his CBs to practice safety, quality, and accountability. You are ready? Now is the time to step forward, with the determination and the steadfast commitment for which CBs are renowned. It is time to demonstrate your can-do spirit. The Army's seven months on Guam was a historic first mission for them. It really was a great mission. To have the opportunity to work in this environment, this truly joint environment, shoulders to shoulders with Navy CBs, with Airmen up at Anderson Air Force Base, and with the Army up at THAAD, what a great environment to work in. For Joint Region Marianas, I'm Justin Yongros.


Welcome back everyone to our second lecture here on BC 308, we're going through Daniel and we have been looking at Daniel chapter 9 verses 24 to 27. There are four verses but very, very amazing prophecy given about these 490 years which the angel gave to the king and spoke to Daniel about. So what we're going to do now is we're going to go into the New Testament. Our study in Daniel will continue but what we want to do is we want to cross-reference how the New Testament throws more light and understanding on these verses. So we go first to Matthew 24 where the Lord Jesus himself refers to this Daniel's prophecy. This particular aspect of Daniel's prophecy, we will just look at Matthew chapter 24 verse 15 and 16. Daniel 24, 15 and 16 please. Therefore, when you see abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing in the holy city, who even reads, let him understand. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Amen. So now very interesting, the disciples are asking Jesus, you know what will be the signs of the end times and so Jesus is going through. He prophesied, he says, this is in Matthew 24 verse 2, he said the temple will be destroyed. Now you see this temple, not one stone will be left, everything will be thrown down. So that was the temple being destroyed. But in verse 15, he is now referring to the prophecy of Daniel, Matthew 24, 15. He says, when you see the abomination of desolation, that means this man, Jesus is referring to him as the man. The abomination, abomination meaning he is in abomination before God, he speaks all these blasphemies, blasphemies against God. He is the one who is going to make desolate. So Jesus refers to this man as the abomination of desolation. When you see this abomination of desolation spoken by Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place. Very interesting. Why is it interesting? Because in verse 2, verses 1 and 2 of Matthew 24, Jesus said, this temple will be destroyed. It actually happened. That was fulfilling Daniel 9 and verse 26, the city and the sanctuary will be destroyed. Jesus repeated that in Matthew 24, 1 and 2, this temple will be destroyed, which happened. If the temple is destroyed, there is no holy place. But in verse 15, he says, this abomination of desolation will be standing in the holy place. Today, there is no holy place. The temple has been destroyed. Nothing, it hasn't been rebuilt. There is no holy place that on the temple mount, there is the mosque and the door of the room, which means even Jesus is recognizing that there has to be a literal temple. Now, when you listen to or when you read some books about the end times, some people say, no, there is a literal temple will not happen. It won't be there. It's not talking about a literal temple. But by reading the text which we saw in Matthew 9, and now we're looking in, sorry, Matthew 24, 15, Daniel 9, Jesus is saying, this man is going to stand in the holy place. There has to be a holy place that he's going to stand. Which Daniel wrote about, that this man is going to stop the daily sacrifices, he will desecrate the sanctuary. So we can stay with confidence that based on the text of Scripture, and we will see again in 2 Thessalonians 2 and also Revelation, that there has to be this third temple because it is in this temple that he is going to desecrate. He's going to stand in the holy place, this abomination desolation. And this is going to happen when in Matthew 24, and you also look at verse 21, I'm just skipping a few verses in between, verse 21. Jesus is saying, for then there will be great tribulation such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time nor ever shall be. So verse 21, that means when this man, this abomination desolation is standing in the temple, in the holy place, that's a sign. It's going to be this great tribulation. So this is the second half of the three and a half years. So the seven years we refer to it, Daniel 73 refer to it as the seven years of tribulation. The second half of the tribulation is the great tribulation because it is going to be very bad that three and a half years. He'll make a covenant for one week, that is seven years. So he'll start off in a very peaceful way. But in the middle of that covenant, in the middle of the week, he's going to break the covenant. He's going to stop the daily sacrifices. He will stand himself, he will stand in the holy place and then it's going to be great tribulation. Let's go to second Thessalonians chapter 2. The more we look at these scriptures, the more understanding we get of Daniel chapter 9. So let's go to second Thessalonians and we're going to read chapter 2 and verses 1 to 9. Second Thessalonians chapter 2 verses 1 to 9. Now the Apostle Paul is referring to Daniel's prophecy and he's telling us more things. Daniel chapter 2, sorry, second Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 1 to 9. Somebody can read that please. Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together with him, we ask you not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled either by spirit or by word or by later, as if from us, although the day of Christ has come. Let no one deceive you by any means for the day will not come unless the falling away comes first. And the man of sin is revealed, the son of addition. Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is God, that is called God, and all that is worshipped. So that he sits as God in the temple of God showing himself that he is, that he is God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you, I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.  The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan with all power, science and lying wonders. Amen. So now the apostle Paul is referring to what Daniel said. So, and Paul is writing to the Thessalonians and he's saying, Thessalonians you remember I explained all these things to you, which means that the apostle Paul must have explained. And I'm thinking he must have explained Daniel to these new believers, to these believers in Thessalonica. That's what I'm thinking because he's saying you remember I told you all these things and now he's writing what he has told them. So he says, you know, I don't want you to think that the Lord Jesus has already come and we missed our gathering together. We missed the rapture. So the context here verse 1, 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 1 is up a gathering together to him. That is the rapture of the church that is the background is also very beautifully described in 1 Thessalonians chapter 4, 13 to 18. How we will receive glorified parties and will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. So that's what he's referring to. 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 was concerning the coming of the Lord and our gathering to him. So the Lord is coming, we're going to be gathered together to him, which he has described very clearly how it's going to happen. I don't want you to think that verse 2, 2 Thessalonians 2 verse 2, I don't want you to think as though the day of Christ has already come. That gathering together the day of Christ has already happened. Don't worry, don't think you missed it. Because he says, verse 3, that day will not come. There's got to be some things that there's a falling away of sin happening. So there's people are going, there's going to be people who wander away from the faith. The love of many will grow cold. There will be people who will depart from the faith. And Paul wrote about it in 1 Thessalonians 1 Timothy chapter 4. Some will depart from the faith. They will give heed to seducing spirits and doctrines. So that is going to be a part of what's happening. It's very much like what Jesus said in Matthew 24. Many will come in my name saying, I'm the Christ and they'll deceive many. So there's going to be this great deception. Then after that big deception, there's going to be the man of sin. The son of perdition who opposes and exalts himself. This is verse 4. All that is called God or this worship. So that he sits as God in the temple of God showing himself that he's God. So I want to highlight some things here. Paul is referring to what Daniel spoke about. The one who makes desolate, the one who moves on the wings of abomination making desolate. Jesus used the term the abomination of desolation. Paul is using many different terms. He's referring to him as the man of sin, the son of perdition. And later on he refers to him as the lawless one. So Paul is using different terms, but he's referring to the same person that Daniel has been writing about. And also you see in verse 4 that this man, he exalts himself above all that is called God. That's exactly what Daniel said. Daniel said in chapter 7, chapter 8 that this man is speaking blasphemous things against God. That's what Paul is saying here. He's exalting himself above all that is called God. And then he says he sits as God in the temple of God. Think about that one more time. He sits in the temple of God. So that's what we're saying. There has to be a temple. Jesus said he will stand in the most holy place. He will stand in the holy place. Here Paul is saying he will sit in the temple of God. So once again, and we will see this again in Revelation, there has to be a third temple. Now, what we do know is that the Jewish people, people in Israel, they are all ready to build the temple. But everything they need to erect a temple, they can do it very fast. Maybe in three months or some, I don't know how fast they'll work. They'll work very fast.  From India, 10,000 people are going to go to Israel to work in construction work. I'm just thinking, they don't have enough people to do construction work. They are bringing in laborers from other parts of the world. I was just reading the news today. 10,000 people from India are going to go to Israel to do construction work. I'm thinking, what are they going to do work? That means that they're getting labor people to come and getting ready. You know, whether these people are going to be doing some construction of the temple, I don't know, but they have everything ready. Everything's ready. So this temple will be rebuilt because this man of sin has to sit in the temple of God saying he is God and demanding worship. So Paul is telling, you know, this is going to happen. What Daniel spoke about, it's going to literally happen.  Then verse six. But then he says, but before this man of sin can be revealed, something has to happen. He says verse six, and now you know what is restraining. There is something that is holding back this man of sin, this abomination of desolation, this antichrist from being revealed. There's something holding him back, something holding back so that he may be revealed in his own time. So there is a time and he's going to be revealed. But there's something restraining, something holding back. Verse seven, for the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. I mean, the lawlessness and this unseen evil is already at work. Only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume. So here's how it's going to happen. So the context, the day of Christ, the coming of the Lord, of a gathering together unto him. Verse one, very close to that happening, the lawless one has to come. The man of sin, the sudden perdition. There's only one thing that's holding him back. And when that which is restraining him is taken out of the way, then this lawless one will be revealed. And eventually he's going to sit on the temple of God. So question, what is it that's restraining him which needs to be taken out of the way? Now in verse six, sorry, verse seven, verse seven, two times the personal, the pronoun he is used in verse seven. Only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. So the question is, who is he? Because he has to be taken out of the way, then the lawless one will be revealed. So there has been a lot of debate and I think we also studied this in our second year course on the end times where we discussed this. We said, you know, there can only be two possibilities. The he could refer to the Holy Spirit or the he could refer to the church. Now, we know that in the New Testament, there are different pictures of the church. The church is the bride of Christ, which is feminine. But the church is the body of Christ, which is masculine. The church is an army. The church is a family. It's the house of God. The church is a pillar. The church is, so there are many different pictures of the church. But in our minds, we are mostly thinking about the church as the bride of Christ. We're always thinking that. But we also should understand the church is the body of Christ, which is masculine. So we have a choice to make the he, does it refer to the Holy Spirit or does it refer to the church? Now, what we do know is this, that the Holy Spirit is operating on the earth during the seven years of tribulation. How do we know that? Well, we can give several points. First, there are going to be 144,000 Jews who will be anointed by God to serve God during the tribulation. We will see this in Revelation chapter seven. So if there are 144,000 Jewish witnesses, ministers, empowered by the Holy Spirit, then the Holy Spirit is still operating. Second, there are many people who will believe during the tribulation. They will be saved and they have the testimony of Jesus Christ with them. And many of them will be martyred. That phrase testimony of Jesus refers to the spirit of prophecy refers to the Holy Spirit. So for people to be saved during the tribulation, you cannot be saved apart from the Holy Spirit. The testimony of Jesus is the Holy Spirit. So we see again another evidence that the Holy Spirit is bringing salvation to people during the tribulation because people will repent and they will be saved. And they will have the testimony of Jesus. Third, during the second half of the tribulation, there will be two witnesses, Elijah and another prophet, two witnesses. For the second half of the tribulation, they will be doing signs, wonders and miracles. There will be prophesies. There will be witnesses, two witnesses from God will send. Do you see this in Revelation chapter 11? Now for them to be doing that, they need to be empowered by the Holy Spirit. So again, the Holy Spirit is at work during the tribulation. So we can see here that, and then another reference is Zechariah 12 verse 10, where God says, I will pour out my spirit of grace and supplication on the house of David. So in the last days, there will be an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. I said, I will pour out my spirit and all flesh. There will be a special outpouring on the house of David. Zechariah 12 verse 10, he will pour out his spirit of grace and supplication on the house of David.  That means that will go on till they see Jesus comes and the one whom they have pierced. So there is an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, especially on the house of Israel, the house of David in the last days. So very obvious, the Holy Spirit is at work. So we can't say the Holy Spirit is taken out of the way and he won't be around here during the seven years of tribulation. No, he's going to be very much here doing all of these things. So our only option is this refers to the church, which matches very nicely with verse 1. Concerning the coming of our Lord and our gathering together unto him, the church is taken out of the way. Then the lawless one is revealed. So what is restraining the Antichrist, the lawless one from being revealed? Second of the verse 2 verse 7, he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. That is the church, the body of Christ. When we are taken out of the way, then the lawless one will be revealed. This man of sin, the son of perdition who sets himself up as God in the temple of God, demanding to be worshiped. And he will come with lying signs and wonders, he will come with that. So that second Thessalonians chapter 2 brings in a lot of insight. It tells us there will be a temple, Antichrist will be seated there. But for the son of man to be revealed, the church has to be taken out of the way. Now there is a common question, which is when will the temple be revealed before the rapture or after the rapture? We are not very sure. What we know is right now, the Jewish people, especially the smaller group, the very Orthodox Jews, they've got everything ready to rebuild the temple. So we don't know exactly whether the three billion of the temple will take place before the rapture or right after the rapture. Now if you go by the sequence of events, if the man of sin, the son of perdition is being revealed after the rapture, after the church is taken out of the way, he's going to set up a covenant of peace for seven years. And my guess, I'm just saying it's a guess because we can't prove it with chapter 1 verse. My guess is that as part of the covenant of peace, he will somehow be able to get the Jewish people to build the temple. They will do it in three months. They'll put up the temple. So my guess or my thought is that as soon as the rapture takes place, the man of sin is revealed. He comes as a man of peace first. Revelation chapter 6 verse 1 says he comes riding on a white horse. He comes as a man of peace. So it's highly likely at the beginning of his seven-year period, he's going to convince people that it's okay to have the temple. The temple will be rebuilt. But it is in this temple, in the middle of the seven years, he will break everything and he will put himself up as God. Any questions on this before we jump into cross-referencing from Revelation also? Any questions? So, Divya says, some interpreting the Holy Spirit's restraining one as the Holy Spirit's influence on the church. Is that an accurate interpretation? So, I wouldn't argue. I wouldn't fight with people about what is right exactly or what's right. My thing is, as we just explained, if we say that the Holy Spirit is withdrawing his influence on the church, that means he's no longer active, he's no longer working, but we see in the book of Revelation that God's people, that people are being saved, people are bearing witness, and there are these two prophets and prophets by the Holy Spirit and so on. So it means the Holy Spirit is still active on the earth. Whereas the church is taken out of the way. So I would respond with that, saying, hey, I feel based on the understanding of scripture that it's a church that is taken out of the way and the Holy Spirit is continuing his work through the tribulation. So I'm not going to fight with them. I will just say that this is my understanding and let people decide. All right, now let's jump into Revelation. The book of Revelation again adds to what Daniel has written. So let's go to Revelation chapter 11 and I'll just point. So we are going to come into the book of Revelation and read through it verse by verse and study it. But now I'm just going to point us to certain texts in Revelation that connects to Daniel 9. So we're not going to read everything. Just pointing to those portions that connect to Daniel 9. Once we finish Daniel, I think maybe next week we can finish Daniel. We have chapters 11 and 12 to do. We finish Daniel. Then we are going to go to Revelation verse by verse. But now I just want to point to certain text in Revelation that is referencing Daniel 9. So let's go to Revelation chapter 11. And we will read verses 1, 2, and 3, please. Revelation 11, 1, 2, and 3. Somebody could read that. Revelation 11, 1, 2, 3. Then I was given a read like a measuring word and the angels stood saying, Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar and those who worship there. But leave out the court which is outside the temple and do not measure it. For it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for 42 months. And I will give power to my two witnesses. And they will prophesy 1,260 days clothed in sad cloth. Now think about this. Look at it very carefully. There's the angel of God. And the angel is getting an instruction. Measure the temple of God. But don't measure the temple, the altar and those who worship. But leave out the court. So first of all, there has to be a temple to measure. And sometimes, oh, this is not a literal temple. This is some spiritual worship. Because he says in verse 2, the Gentiles are going to tread the holy city for 42 months. And the temple has been given over to these Gentiles. So if somebody says, no, no, this is not a literal temple. This is some spiritual temple. But then how will the Gentiles trample it underfoot? So it has to be a literal physical temple. Basically, the picture here is a temple that's being desecrated. Because remember, for the Jews, Gentiles are not allowed inside the temple. It's only for the Jews. But here he's saying the temple, the courtyard, everything is being desecrated. So there has to be a literal temple. But the Gentiles are desecrating. Remember, the Antichrist is a Gentile and he's going to be empowered by armies. We read about that last week in Daniel 8. He's going to get Daniel 8 verse 12. An army was given to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices and he cast through the ground. Daniel 8 and verse 12. So this Antichrist, this little horn, he's going to bring all his armies, Gentiles. And they're going to trample underfoot the city, the temple, everything. So it has to be a literal temple that they're going to trample underfoot. And this is going to go on for 42 months, which is three and a half years. That means the second half of the tribulation, 42 months. And during the same time, 1,260 days, about three and a half years, God's going to have his two prophets, his two witnesses. And we know one of them is Elijah, because Malachi chapter 4, God said, the whole, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the coming of the Lord. So we know the other one, again, people will discuss. Some may say it's Enoch, because he was also caught up into heaven like Elijah. And some may say it may be Moses or so on. I personally, my personal thought is it's Enoch and Elijah, because both of them did not die, but were caught up to heaven. So these two witnesses are going to be prophesying that they're going to be doing mighty signs and wonders. They're going to be serving God for the second half of the tribulation. So they are in poverty. They're going to do that. So here again, it makes it very clear there will be a temple where this little horn, and all the armies is going to come and desecrate it, fulfilling Daniel 8 and verse 12. He's going to do that. And it is going to be for three and a half years. So again, it's telling us correctly, Daniel 927, he said in the middle was Daniel 927. He will confirm a covenant with many for one week. And in the middle of the week, he will bring an end to sacrifice and offering. Okay, middle of the week, if the week represents seven years, middle of the week is three and a half years, which corresponds very nicely to 42 months. So you see how scriptures backing up scripture. Here it says 42 months, middle of the week, three and a half years matches perfectly. So that's why we can also work backwards and say that week, Daniel 927, one week is seven years. That's just very beautiful. Then we go to chapter 12. And in chapter 12, we will study chapter 12 in detail, but what I want to just point us to is this. Verse 13, Daniel 12 verse 13. Somebody could read that, please. No, Daniel, Revelation 12, 13. Oh, I'm getting mixed up. Sorry, Revelation chapter 12 verse 13, Revelation 12 or somebody could read Revelation 12 was 12 and 13. So sorry. Therefore, rejoice, oh heavens, and you who dwell in them, go to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea, for the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time. Now, when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. Verse 14 also, please. But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle that she might fly into the wilderness to her place where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time from the presence of the serpent. Thank you. So Revelation 12, I know we're picking up in the middle of the chapter, but the woman represents Israel. The male child is Jesus Christ. Israel gave birth to the Jesus. So now the dragon here represents Satan. He makes his final attempt in Revelation 12. We'll study this in detail and just giving us a little preview there. So he makes his final attempt to get into heaven. Michael and the Archangels push him out and he's pushed back to the earth knowing that he has a very short time. And so he comes verse 13, he comes to persecute the woman that Israel who gave birth to the male child. That's Jesus. He comes to persecute. How? Through the Antichrist. So the devil is not coming physically, but he's working through the Antichrist and the false prophet. And so the focus of the Antichrist is this man of sin, the son of perdition is going to be against persecuting Israel, the saints of the most high. But verse 14 says that the woman is allowed, she's given this place in the wilderness. And many people think there's a big wilderness between Israel and Jordan. So Jordan as a nation rise on the east side of Israel. And there's a great stretch of wilderness land, barren lands. And so many people think that, you know, when it says she will fly to the wilderness, it's probably that people, the Jewish people, many of them will move in that direction to just keep themselves safe. But what I want to point out is this, it says here for a time and times and half a time. Now remember, we read the same phrase in Daniel, a time, times and half a time. We read it in Daniel, I think it's verse 7. It says here, it's the end. Verse 25, talking about this Antichrist, Daniel 725, he will speak pompous words against the most high. Shall persecute the saints of the most high, shall intend to change times and laws. Then the saints will be given to his hand for a time and times and half a time. So Revelation 12, 13 and 14 matches perfectly with Daniel 7, 25. This Antichrist, Manos and his persecuting the people of Israel, those who believe in Jesus, especially those who believe in Jesus, because it says in going back to Revelation 12 that he was persecuting those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Revelation 12 verse 17. So what I really want to point out is a time, times and half a time. Revelation 12 verse 14 matches Daniel 7, 25.  What is the context already given? 42 months, 3 and a half years.  So that's how we can interpret Daniel 7, 25. When we read Daniel 7, 25, time, times and half a time, you can say, hey, that's 3 and a half years. That's 42 months, exactly as given here in the book of Revelation. So Daniel chapter 7. And then, Revelation chapter 12. Sorry, I'm just getting confused here. And then Revelation chapter 13. We will come and we will look at it very, very carefully in detail, but I want to just point out something again here. Revelation chapter 13. Let's please read verses 5 through 7. Revelation 13, 5 through 7, please. And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blessed for me. And he was given authority to continue for 42 months. And he opened his mouth in blessed for me against God to bless from his name, his tabernacle and those who dwell in heaven. And it was granted to him to make war with the saints and overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue and nation. Amen. Perfectly, this matches with what Daniel said. Okay, so I think our line just dropped a little bit. I think the connection is bad. Can everyone hear me? Okay. So what I was saying is in Revelation 13, 5 through 7, it matches so perfectly with what Daniel has said. So this little horn is going to speak blasphemous things against God. But here, Revelation 13, 5, once again says he will be given authority to continue for 42 months. Clearly, once again, 42 months is three and a half years. So that means what Daniel has been saying, you know, this little horn is going to do all these things. It's in this second half of the seven years of tribulation, which he had explained to us in Daniel 9 and 27, that in the middle of the week he will break it. Once again, here he's telling us it is going to be 42 months. And it is during this time that he is going to make war with the saints. So you connect this back to Daniel 7, 25. He said he will make war with the saints for a time times and a half of time. So what is a time times and half of time? It's 42 months, which is three and a half years. Okay, so just cross reference saying, and I've just only picked out, you know, the specific parts of the book of Revelation and saying, hey, now it makes very clear, you can understand what Daniel has been saying. When he says 17 weeks, okay, it has to be each week represents a year. Only then Daniel 9, 27 will make sense. Only then everything else that is stated in Revelation will make sense. You know, everything adds up very perfectly this way. Any questions on this? The assumption of the Antichrist to be a Gentile is because of the reference to him as a little horn or rose on the four horns mentioned in Daniel 7. That's correct. So the reason we say this Antichrist is a Gentile is because he comes from one of the four regions that belong to the Greek Empire. So that's why it's okay. And we see that Revelation 111 says the temple was given over to the Gentiles to desecrate it. So that's why we say it's a Gentile. But I don't want to be hard and fast on it. I'm just making an inference based on Daniel 8. Where Daniel has told us that after the goat, the main horn breaks four territories and from one of them comes the little horn. So that's what I'm saying. That's what we're saying that the Antichrist would be a Gentile. Yeah. You're right. So question, will a Gentile be accepted by the Jewish people? So the thing about the Antichrist ears or this man of sin ears, he comes as a man of peace and his influence. Remember how he's going to come to power. There are 10 leaders from the who belonged to the former Roman Empire, 10 leaders. This little horn will arise and he will greatly influence three of these 10 leaders. And it is basically these 10 leaders who will prop them up into power. And we will read about this when we go into Revelation in Revelation chapter 18, what actually is going to happen. These 10 leaders are going to prop up the Antichrist bringing to power. He gains actors by really influencing three of them.  But we will see in Revelation 18 that towards the end this 10 leaders will withdraw support. So basically the beast and the false prophet are left on their own. And there is a complete collapse of the religious system, Revelation chapter 17. We read about this in Revelation 17. First there is a collapse of the religious system, Revelation 17, Revelation 18. There's a collapse of the economic system. So the 10 leaders are the ones who are propping up the beast, the Antichrist, who is then also supported by the false prophet. Revelation 17, the 10 leaders are withdrawing their support and both these things collapse. There's a collapse of the religion brought in by the false prophet. Revelation 18, there's a collapse of the economic system. So this Antichrist is really a man who has influence on both sides. Somehow he's able to influence the people, establish a covenant of peace. So today if you look at what's happening in the Middle East, for whatever he said, Israel has been greatly supported by, usually it's the President of the United States, the UK, and sometimes Germany and France will be supporting the Prime Minister of Israel. People have changed, but generally that's been the positioning. And so they're all Gentiles and supporting Israel. And that's been the trend. Yeah. All right. Any other questions? Yeah. So if you know your question, please. Can you just explain a little more on the 70th week of Daniel? So what the term actually means, I think I lost somewhere. I understand that the week signifies is seven years and all that. But what's the 70th week actually signifies? Sure. Sure. So this is back beginning in Daniel 9, verse 24. So Gabriel tells Daniel, I've come to talk to you about 70 weeks. I'm going to talk to you about 70 weeks about your people and your city. Now 69 weeks have been fulfilled because 69 weeks was a time from the issue of King Cyrus till the Messiah being cut off, 480 years. 69 weeks has been finished. So the 70th week is left. That one week is the 70th week. I think we refer to that last week as 70th week because 69 weeks have been done. It's already fulfilled. 70th week is left. That 70th week is the seven years of tribulation. That's all. All right. Let's pause here for today. Please take some time to maybe listen to all of this one more time or read it up. Again, just think about it. If you have any questions, we'll pick it up next week. But the plan for next week is we shouldn't be finishing the book of Daniel. We'll go through chapter 11 and 12. Again, these are amazing, amazing things in both these chapters. Let's try to finish it next week. God bless you all. Thank you. We'll break now so we can get ready for the next class. Thank you. God bless.
