Holy Father, our Father God in heaven, Father I'm just a very hypocritical, very erring person.

I am a weak man And I'm unworthy to preach this message.

But Father, in spite of myself, may I be a blessing, not a curse to your people.

May you fill this room with the Holy Spirit.

Father, we need something special here today.

Special beyond any Sabbath that we've had before.

So Father, we claim the promise of inspiration that you're readily to answer prayers on the Sabbath, that we ask and seek for a special experience here today, that hearts be truly changed, that we make a firm final decision for thee in these last days.

We thank you that you've given us the sure word of prophecy so we have certainty that we have security in you.

And as the world is in terror and as the world is falling apart, Father, we thank you that you provided an arc of safety for us to protect us in these last days.

And so, Father, we ask and plead for something here special today.

May hearts and minds be moved by your love.

I wanna share with you a true story of a gospel worker evangelist.

He's a plain looking man, he's not a handsome man.

And so it was a situation where this beautiful girl was actually considering the overtures of this gospel worker evangelist in a possible courtship.

Now on the background was a doctor and a physician.

So there's 2 competing guys vying for the affections of this 1 girl.

And so there was a time when this young man confessed his feelings and the young lady considered, and ultimately the young lady said, you're not my type.

And that didn't undaunt the gospel worker evangelist because even though she said no, he still tried to win her heart.

But as the months went by, a good friend of this gospel worker evangelist called him and said to him, listen, it's going to happen.

She's going to get together with that physician.

And sure enough, 5 months later, on Facebook, there was a relationship change.

Now, if he did not know beforehand, this gospel worker evangelist did not know beforehand this would happen.

How would he feel when that picture happened?

He would have been shocked, he would have been scared, he would have been angry, would he not be?

But because he had that adequate preparation and adequate warning leading up to that event saying that, hey the doctor and that beautiful girl is going to get together.

He was mentally prepared and when that happened, it didn't faze him.

It's not to scare us, but to prepare us for what is coming.

And notice what the Bible says in Isaiah 46 verse 9, about prophecy, Isaiah 46 verse 9, the Bible says, "'Remember the former things of old, "'for I am God and there is none who?

"'None else.'" So there's no 1 else but God.

Because he declaring the end from the beginning and from the ancient times, the things that are not yet done, say, my counsel shall stand and I will do all my pleasure.

So rest assured, no matter how the world is, and no matter how the world is falling apart, Jesus is in control.

And he knows that end from the beginning.

Now, what does fulfilled prophecy do for us?

Notice the words of Jesus in John 14, verse 29.

The Bible says in John 14, 29, the Bible says, and now I have told you before it come to pass, and when it come to pass, that ye might, what?

So prophecy is fulfilled and it's told before that it comes to pass so that we might believe.

And so today as we present the sure word of prophecy, I pray that we may believe the Bible and the spirit of prophecy.

2 Peter 1 verse 19, the Bible says we have also a more sure word of prophecy.

In other words, it is sure as my tie is black, white, red, and blue.

A sure word of prophecy, where unto ye do well, that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, unto the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts.

So prophecy is a sure word, and it is a light.

Notice what the Bible says in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5, verse 2 to 5.

The Bible says in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5, verse 2 to 5.

"'For you yourselves know perfectly "'that the day of the Lord so cometh "'as a thief in the night.'" Question, when a thief comes in the night, is it a surprise, yes or no?

But notice, for when they shall say, peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as treville upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape.

So when they say, peace and safety, The federal government say, we will protect you.

When they say, peace and safety, sudden destruction cometh.

I travel upon a woman with a child, and they shall not escape.

But ye brethren are not in darkness that that day should overtake you as a thief.

That the day of the Lord may come as a thief in the night but those of us it doesn't come as a thief in the night.

Because we are the sure word of prophecy that shines the light unto the shine of the dark place.

And the purpose of prophecy is shine the light, And so as the world will be in an overwhelming surprise when Jesus comes, we will not be surprised.

That's why God has given us a prophetic message.

It's not to scare us, it's to prepare us for this momentous occasion that all the universe has been waiting for 6, 000 years.

The world is so transfixed on what's going on, but all of universe is waiting for child abuse to end, waiting for divorces to end, waiting for child molestation, and for the killing of children, and for the murder and terrorism.

All the universe is waiting for disease to end, but we in the world do not want that to end by our choices here today.

And the universe is waiting for sin to cease.

And that will cease when Jesus comes in the cloud of glory.

When I was in Atlanta a few years ago, I was traveling to a meeting.

I found this magazine cover, Newsweek, Apocalypse Now, tsunamis, earthquakes, nuclear meltdowns, revolutions, the economy's on the brink, what the expletive is next.

Every Seventh-day Adventist should explain what the blank is next, because we have the sure word of prophecy.

God has given us the gift of prophecy not to scare us, but to show us the certainty of our church and the certainty of our message so we could go to a sin dying world and give them hope as it is in Jesus.

There's no hope in the federal government.

And today we're gonna focus on a prophecy in Daniel chapter 11, starting with verse 40.

The Bible says in Daniel chapter 11, verse 40, And at the time of the what?

Shall the king of the south push at him and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind with chariots and with horsemen and with many ships and he shall enter into the countries and shall overflow and pass over." So you have at the time of the end you had a king of the south pushing at the king of the north and the king of the north will come and return and defeat the king of the south.

So today I'm going to determine who the king of the south is and who the king of the north is and what exactly happened in couple weeks ago with the Supreme Court decision.
