play01:03

1789 okay that's a long time ago that's

play01:06

200 plus years ago

play01:08

okay what would you

play01:10

think if a

play01:13

pastor if the pastor was named Isaiah a

play01:17

prophet of God in

play01:20

1789 told George Washington so here's

play01:25

play01:56

Vladimir Putin would become president of

play01:58

Russia would be

play02:01

impossible yet the same time distance is

play02:05

what we're seeing look at chapter

play02:08

41 200 years before Cyrus was

play02:14

born this is what Isaiah said thus says

play02:18

the Lord to his anointed to Cyrus whose

play02:23

right hand I have held to subdue Nations

play02:26

before him to loose the armor of Kings

play02:28

to open before him the double door

play02:30

and the gates that will not be shut I

play02:32

will go before you I'll make the Crooked

play02:33

places on and on and on and on it goes

play02:36

what is this talking about well first of

play02:37

all this is the actual panel from the

play02:40

walls of Babylon this is what was on the

play02:42

wall when Cyrus conquered Babylon this

play02:44

is what was on the wall when Daniel

play02:47

comes in and stands next to belto

play02:48

shazzar when he sees the handwriting on

play02:50

the wall and the Finger of God writing

play02:52

this is this is the actual wall they

play02:55

took it down and brought it to the

play02:56

British museum can you believe those

play02:58

British they they con conquered you know

play03:00

during World War I and they wanted it

play03:02

for the museum and they took it and

play03:03

there it is so you're looking at what

play03:06

Daniel looked at what Belta shazzar

play03:08

looked at and what Cyrus looked at this

play03:11

is what

play03:12

happened God said 200 years before it

play03:15

happened that Assyria would fall to

play03:17

Babylon and that Babylon would fall to

play03:20

the mes and the Persians do you see the

play03:22

mes are from midia and the Persians are

play03:24

from Persia and the MEO Persian people

play03:28

came together and

play03:30

came to Babylon uh God said this was

play03:33

going to happen through Daniel in Daniel

play03:35

2 and7 and he said that the first Empire

play03:38

was the Empire the image in Daniel 2 of

play03:41

gold is the Babylonian Empire that fell

play03:44

in in basic I mean that Rose over uh

play03:48

Assyria in 606 the silver is the MEO

play03:50

Persian who conquered Babylon in 536 the

play03:53

bronze is Alexander and the Greeks who

play03:55

conquered in 330 the iron is the Roman

play03:58

Empire and then then Daniel said that

play04:01

the Roman Empire is coming back in a

play04:03

different form in the end times that's

play04:06

called the revive Roman Empire so that's

play04:07

the plan so how did Isaiah 45 happen

play04:11

well 200 years before Isaiah said it was

play04:14

going to happen on October 12th I mean

play04:16

this is a big event they even know the

play04:17

day Cyrus's general captured Babylon

play04:20

without a battle so here's belto Shazer

play04:24

drinking his knees are knocking because

play04:27

the finger is writing on the wall

play04:30

and while he's having this party and

play04:32

having Daniel called in the Persians

play04:34

diverted the river Euphrates into a

play04:36

canal up River and as the night came on

play04:40

the water level dropped to the height of

play04:43

the middle of a man's thigh which

play04:45

rendered the flood defenses useless you

play04:48

know all their walls and all their Gates

play04:50

all the Army did is walk underneath them

play04:53

they walked down the river

play04:54

splashing and how do we know that the

play04:57

father of History Herodotus records that

play05:00

in his annals that's how we even know

play05:01

what

play05:02

dat this object this orange thing with

play05:05

squigglies on it is the record of

play05:08

Cyrus's Rule and this is what you can go

play05:12

play05:14

okay without any battle he entered the

play05:16

town he spared any Calamity I returned

play05:18

the sacred cities the other side of the

play05:19

Tigers on and on it goes he wrote about

play05:23

play05:31

entrance remember Daniel is already

play05:34

play05:45

Babylon and kills

play05:47

belshazzar and pulls out his copy of

play05:50

Isaiah which contains a personal letter

play05:54

addressing him by name that was written

play05:57

200 I mean it was an ancient scroll

play06:00

Isaiah had died 150 years before Cyrus

play06:03

was born this is why it's one of the

play06:06

greatest prophecies in the Bible and

play06:09

play06:15

play06:41

Lord to his anointed Cyrus whose right
