What happens next…

Sir Isaac Newton was a Christian, and he
was a prophet. He foretold our prophecy
series!
“About the time of the end, a body of men
will be raised up who will turn their attention
to the prophesies, and insist on their literal
interpretation, in the midst of much clamor
and opposition.”

The Next Event…
Amos 1:3-5 States that Syria will come against Israel four times, and then will be made
desolate.
These occurred in:
1948 (1st)
1967(2nd)
1973(3rd) and the 4th could happen at any time!
Damascus is the capital of Syria. It is the oldest perpetual city in the world! It is over
5000 years old!
NOTE: Isn’t it appropriate that the oldest city is one that will be destroyed to clearly
show the world that God is sovereign?
Is. 17:1 States that Damascus will be taken away from being a city and become a
ruinous heap - this has not happened yet,
but will very soon!!
In 1973, Israel came with 20 kilometers of Damascus - Russia stepped in and informed
the world that if they continue, it will be world war three. If Israel had destroyed
Damascus then, this prophecy could not have been fulfilled!

So who’s side is Syria on?
• TEL AVIV [MENL] -- Israel's military has been preparing for the increasing
• prospect of a war with Syria in a confrontation expected to include Iran and
• Hizbullah.
•
•
•
•
•
The General Staff has discussed an assessment by the military's Northern
Command of an emerging threat from Syria and Hizbullah over the next year.
Northern Command said a weakened Syria, under pressure from the United
States to withdraw from Lebanon, was likely to approve an Iranian-Hizbullah
campaign against Israel.
• Military sources said this assessment was the latest by several senior
• officers who envision a major war with Syria by 2007.

• Syrian President, Bashar Al-Assad, granted an interview to the
pro-Syrian daily Al-Safir (Lebanon). The interviewer was the
editor Talal Salman
• Bashar Al-Assad: 'The Arab Defense
Agreement Should Be Implemented'; 'As Long
as Israel Exists It Will Constitute a
Threat'; 'Israel Will Not Be a Legitimate
State Even After the Peace‘
• "The logical thing is to implement the Arab Defense Agreement.
According to this agreement, if an Arab country is invaded, the rest
of the Arab countries should defend it. Instead of implementing this
agreement, there were those who facilitated the aggression, while
neighboring countries refused to do so."
• "As long as Israel exists, the threat
exists. As long as there is aggression
against an Arab country, and as long as
there is a war close to our borders, the
danger continues.

• What is the Muslim religion saying in Syria and Palestine and Iraq?
• Palestinian Authority Television (Gaza).
• "Trustworthy [Islamic] clerics, from East and West… came up
with proofs from the Koran and the Sunna, and announced
them from the pulpits of Al-Azhar and other mosques around
the world, that any Muslim who does not stand by Iraq and
support it against the American-British-Crusaders cruel attack
is a traitor to his religion, traitor to his nation, traitor to his
motherland, and traitor to his Arabism. Aren't you listening?
Did you plug your ears and blinded your eyes? What
happened to you? What is the meaning of this shame?!!"
• 'Allah, make [American and British] children orphans
and their women widows'
• Israel and it’s mother, the great Satan, America along with it’s
allies must perish. Jihad is upon them. Allah will help us.

The beginning of the end…
The First seal
Matthew 24:3-5 As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him
privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of
Your coming, and of the end of the age?" (4) And Jesus answered and said to them,
"See to it that no one misleads you. (5) "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am
the Christ,' and will mislead many.
1John 2:18 Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming,
even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.
Revelation 6:1-2 Then I saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I heard
one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, "Come." (2) I looked,
and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to
him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
Dan 9:27 "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one
week” This will begin the 70th week of Daniel (the Tribulation).

Russia is backing Damascus - when Damascus attacks Israel again, it
will be destroyed, and it will cause the
prophecies in Ez. 38 and 39 to be fulfilled - Russia, the bear of the north
along with Muslim nations will be forced to
attack Israel, but God will intervene!
Here is the timeline of events that could happen very soon:

Eze 38:2-8 "Son of man, set your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the prince of
Rosh, Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him and say, 'Thus says the Lord
GOD, "Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal. 4 "I will
turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your
army, horses and horsemen, all of them splendidly attired, a great company with
buckler and shield, all of them wielding swords; 5 Persia, Ethiopia and Put with them,
all of them with shield and helmet; 6 Gomer with all its troops; Beth-togarmah from
the remote parts of the north with all its troops--many peoples with you. 7 "Be
prepared, and prepare yourself, you and all your companies that are assembled about
you, and be a guard for them. 8 "After many days you will be summoned; in the latter
years you will come into the land that is restored from the sword, whose inhabitants
have been gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel which had been a
continual waste; but its people were brought out from the nations, and they are living
securely, all of them.

Eze 38:15 "You will come from your place out of the remote parts of the north, you
and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great assembly and a
mighty army;
Eze 38:16 and you will come up against My people Israel like a cloud to cover the
land. It shall come about in the last days that I will bring you against My land, so that
the nations may know Me when I am sanctified through you before their eyes, O
Gog."
Eze 38:17 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Are you the one of whom I spoke in former
days through My servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for
many years that I would bring you against them?
Eze 38:18 "It will come about on that day, when Gog comes against the land of
Israel," declares the Lord GOD, "that My fury will mount up in My anger.

Eze 38:21 "I will call for a sword against him on all My
mountains," declares the Lord GOD. "Every man's sword will be
against his brother.
Eze 38:22 "With pestilence and with blood I will enter into
judgment with him; and I will rain on him and on his troops, and
on the many peoples who are with him, a torrential rain, with
hailstones, fire and brimstone.
Zec 14:12 Now this will be the plague with which the LORD
will strike all the peoples who have gone to war against
Jerusalem; their flesh will rot while they stand on their feet, and
their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongue will rot in
their mouth.
Zec 14:13 It will come about in that day that a great panic from
the LORD will fall on them; and they will seize one another's
hand, and the hand of one will be lifted against the hand of
another.

Eze 39:9 "Then those who inhabit the cities of Israel will go out and
make fires with the weapons and burn them, both shields and bucklers,
bows and arrows, war clubs and spears, and for seven years they will
make fires of them.
Eze 39:11 "On that day I will give Gog a burial ground there in Israel, the
valley of those who pass by east of the sea, and it will block off those who
would pass by. So they will bury Gog there with all his horde, and they
will call it the valley of Hamon-gog.
Eze 39:12 "For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in
order to cleanse the land.
Eze 39:13 "Even all the people of the land will bury them; and it will be
to their renown on the day that I glorify Myself," declares the Lord GOD.
Eze 39:14 "They will set apart men who will constantly pass through the
land, burying those who were passing through, even those left on the
surface of the ground, in order to cleanse it. At the end of seven months
they will make a search.
Eze 39:15 "As those who pass through the land pass through and anyone
sees a man's bone, then he will set up a marker by it until the buriers have
buried it in the valley of Hamon-gog.

This will cause the UN to take action - ten rulers will be
appointed…
Rev 17:12 "The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who
have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as
kings with the beast for one hour.
Rev 17:13 "These have one purpose, and they give their power
and authority to the beast.
Rev 13:1 And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore.
Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns
and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his
heads were blasphemous names.
Rev 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his
feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a
lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and
great authority.
© 2005 Pastor Brett Peterson – email: [email protected] 949-444-0321
And the antichrist will come to power…
Rev 13:3 I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain,
and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was
amazed and followed after the beast;
Rev 13:4 they worshiped the dragon because he gave his
authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast,
saying, "Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage
war with him?"
Rev 13:5 There was given to him a mouth speaking
arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for
forty-two months was given to him.

commonly called the ‘7 year
Tribulation’ period, begins…

Dan 9:27 "And he will make a firm
covenant with the many for one week, but
in the middle of the week he will put a stop
to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the
wing of abominations will come one who
makes desolate, even until a complete
destruction, one that is decreed, is poured
out on the one who makes desolate."

II Thess. 2:6-7
• 2Th 2:6 And you know what restrains him
now, so that in his time he will be revealed.
• 2Th 2:7 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.
• Who or what is the ‘restrainer’?
• Scholars differ on what they believe:
An Angel, the Holy Spirit, the Church, The Roman
Government, etc.
© 2005 Pastor Brett Peterson – email: [email protected] 949-444-0321
Who is the restrainer?
• The Holy Spirit is omnipresent and cannot be ‘taken out
of the way’.
• Angels are often given the task of restraining something
or holding something back:
Rev 7:1 After this I saw four angels standing at the
four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of
the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth or on
the sea or on any tree.
• The most natural, logical meaning of this text is that a
mighty angel is restraining the spirit of the antichrist,
until God takes him out of the way.

The mark of the beast…

•
At no time in history has a mark ever been used as a means to buy and sell.
Here we are given a preview of a cashless society
We are moving in that direction!
Rev 14:9-12 Then another angel, a third one, followed them,
saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his
image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, (10)
he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed
in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented
with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in
the presence of the Lamb. (11) "And the smoke of their torment
goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night,
those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever
receives the mark of his name." (12) Here is the perseverance of
the saints who keep the commandments of God and their faith in
Jesus.

Antichrist
• Anti – in the Greek means:
• Thayer Definition:
• 1) over against, opposite to, before
• 2) for, instead of, in place of (something)
• Pseudo – the false Christ.

1. Syria attacks Israel with
Palestinian help - Damascus
is destroyed.
2. This is the hook that pulls
Russia down and the Muslim
nations around Israel, who then
attack Israel.
3. God intervenes and destroys
them.
4. World emergency is declared,
the UN assume control of the
10 world zones.
(3 of the nations will oppose this
soon after the 70th week of Daniel
starts).

The events taking place in the world today are preparing the world
for the completion of the prophecies in the Bible.
The World is looking for someone to bring peace to the middle
east. That someone is the anti-christ.
He will confirm a 7 year treaty with Israel: in Dan.9:27
Dan 9:26 "Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will
be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince
who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And
its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be
war; desolations are determined.
Dan 9:27 "And he will make a firm covenant with the many
for one week” This will begin the 70th week of Daniel (the
Tribulation).

6. The 10 world zone powers (UN)
give power to the Anti-Christ.
7. He makes a peace treaty with
Israel - this starts the 70th week of
Daniel (the Tribulation).
8. Israel completes it’s Temple.
9. Two witnesses come on the scene.

Let’s explore the last 7 years of human rule on this planet.
The 70th Week of Daniel.
• Many people call it the great tribulation period, or the
time of Jacob’s trouble.
• The Bible nowhere calls these seven years by either
name.
• Jer 30:2 "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'Write all the words which
I have spoken to you in a book. 3 'For behold, days are coming,' declares the
LORD, 'when I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel and Judah.' The
LORD says, 'I will also bring them back to the land that I gave to their
forefathers and they shall possess it.'" 4 Now these are the words which the
LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah: 5 "For thus says the
LORD, 'I have heard a sound of terror, Of dread, and there is no peace. 6
'Ask now, and see If a male can give birth. Why do I see every man With his
hands on his loins, as a woman in childbirth? And why have all faces turned
pale?
• Jer 30:7 'Alas! for that day is great, There is none like it; And it is the time
of Jacob's distress, But he will be saved from it. :8 'It shall come about on
that day,' declares the LORD of hosts, 'that I will break his yoke from off
their neck and will tear off their bonds; and strangers will no longer make
them their slaves.

The time of Jacob’s trouble refers to an event that takes place in the
midst of the 70th week of Daniel.
• It is after God has made them a nation again –
already done.
• It begins with a time of distress for the Jews and
immediate release from the yoke of bondage.
• This happens right after the abomination of
desolation in the middle of the 70th week!
• It refers in Jeremiah to ‘that day’ – “a great day,
there is none like it” (Jeremiah 30:7)
• It is the same ‘day’ that begins the day of the Lord!
• (more on this next week)

Rev 17:12 "The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who
have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as
kings with the beast for one hour. 13 "These have one
purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
14 "These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will
overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of
kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen
and faithful." 15 And he *said to me, "The waters which you
saw where the harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes and
nations and tongues. 16 "And the ten horns which you saw,
and the beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her
desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and will burn her up
with fire. 17 "For God has put it in their hearts to execute His
purpose by having a common purpose, and by giving their
kingdom to the beast, until the words of God will be fulfilled.
18 "The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns
over the kings of the earth."

These 10 kings could be part of the United Nations,
or some other configuration of countries yet to be
established. It is interesting to note that the United
nations has broken the entire world up into 10
economic zones:

South Africa, Eastern Europe & Russia, Latin
America, North Africa &
the Middle East, Tropical Africa, South and
Southeast Asia, and China.

“ Americans should not expect one battle, but a
lengthy campaign unlike any other we have
ever seen…What is at stake is not just
America’s freedom. This is the world’s fight.
This is civilization’s fight. This is the fight of all
who believe in progress and pluralism,
tolerance, and freedom.”

Much of the World’s governments want to come
together. It is in the United Nations charter and
their ultimate agenda!

Who is the Pseudo Christ?
He’s Jewish: John 5:43 "I have come
in My Father's name, and you do not
receive Me; if another comes in his own
name, you will receive him.
Jesus spoke this to the Pharisees –
they will embrace the antichrist as
messiah.
© 2005 Pastor Brett Peterson – email: [email protected] 949-444-0321
He will come out of the Roman political system
Daniel 9:26-27 "Then after the sixty-two weeks the
Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the
people of the prince who is to come will destroy the
city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a
flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations
are determined. (27) "And he will make a firm
covenant with the many for one week, but in the
middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and
grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will
come one who makes desolate, even until a
complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured
out on the one who makes desolate."

The fulfillment of this occurred in history when
the Roman legions under Titus Vespasian
destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple in 70
A.D.
[Jesus foretold this in Luke 19:44]
This is most likely the UN – possibly the
security council.

So the Anti-Christ will be of Jewish decent
but come out of the Roman Empire.
He will allow Israel to rebuild their temple!

I have asked several Rabbi’s how they will
know when the Messiah comes. They all say
that whoever brings peace to their land and
allows them to rebuild their temple will be
the Messiah.
Israel believes the Anti-christ is the Messiah!

But three of those leaders will disagree with the
arrangement, and they will be subdued.

kingdom on the earth, which will be different from all the
other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth and tread it
down and crush it.Dan 7:24 'As for the ten horns, out of this
kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after
them, and he will be different from the previous ones and

and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time,
times, and half a time.

earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was
given to him.

The Third seal
Revelation 6:5-6 When He broke the third seal, I heard the third living
creature saying, "Come." I looked, and behold, a black horse; and he
who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. (6) And I heard
something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying,
"A quart of wheat for a denarius (a days wage), and three quarts of
barley for a denarius; and do not damage the oil and the wine."
Matthew 24:7b, and in various places there will be famines
This will lead to the total collapse of the economy and the start of the
mark of the beast to buy and sell:
Revelation 13:15-17 And it was given to him to give breath to the
image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak
and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be
killed. (16) And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich
and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on
their right hand or on their forehead, (17) and he provides that no
one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark,
either the name of the beast or the number of his name.

Revelation 6:7-8 When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the
voice of the fourth living creature saying, "Come." (8) I looked, and
behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death;
and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a
fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with
pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.
Matthew 24:6-13 "You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars.
See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but
that is not yet the end. (7) "For nation will rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines
and earthquakes. (famines always lead to more pestilence) (8) "But
all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or
nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Rom 8:36 Just as it is written, "FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE
BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE
CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED."
Rom 8:37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer
through Him who loved us.
Rom 8:38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to
come, nor powers,
Rom 8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing,
will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in
Christ Jesus our Lord.

The Fifth seal
Revelation 6:9-11 When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw
underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because
of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had
maintained; (10) and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, "How
long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging
our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" (11) And there was
given to each of them a white robe; and they were told that they
should rest for a little while longer, until the number of their fellow
servants and their brethren who were to be killed even as they had
been, would be completed also.
Matthew 24:(9) "Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill
you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. (10)
"At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate
one another. (11) "Many false prophets will arise and will mislead
many. (12) "Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love
will grow cold. (13) "But the one who endures to the end, he will be
saved.

The Fifth seal Part II - Apostasy
Matthew 10:17-33 "But beware of men, for they will hand you over to
the courts and scourge you in their synagogues; (18) and you will
even be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a
testimony to them and to the Gentiles. (19) "But when they hand you
over, do not worry about how or what you are to say; for it will be
given you in that hour what you are to say. (20) "For it is not you who
speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you. (21)
"Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and
children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to
death. (22) "You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the
one who has endured to the end who will be saved. (23) "But
whenever they persecute you in one city, flee to the next; for truly I
say to you, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel until the
Son of Man comes. (32) "Therefore everyone who confesses Me
before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in
heaven. (33) "But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny
him before My Father who is in heaven.

Rev 12:17 So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war
with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the
testimony of Jesus.
Israel’s offspring or children are those who hold to the testimony of Jesus! The
first male child is the church!
(2Ti 2:12) If we endure, we will also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He also
will deny us;
(Rev 20:6) Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection;
over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of
Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.

The first Resurrection – the Rapture
The second Resurrection – judgment
Revelation 20:4-6 Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them,
and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of
those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of
Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had
not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received
the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came
to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. (5) The
rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years
were completed. This is the first resurrection. (6) Blessed
and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection;
over these the second death has no power, but they will be
priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a
thousand years.

144,000 sealed, the raptured
multitude is heaven.
Revelation 7:3-4 saying, "Do not harm the earth or the sea
or the trees until we have sealed the bond-servants of our
God on their foreheads." (4) And I heard the number of
those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four
thousand sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:
Revelation 7:9 After these things I looked, and behold, a
great multitude which no one could count, from every
nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing
before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white
robes, and palm branches were in their hands;
All of this is just after the breaking
of the 6th seal.

Those in white robes…
A white robe = white garments are clearly the proper attire of
those in the presence of God. Notice it will be the attire of:
a. The overcomers, (Rev 3:4-5, 18).
b. The martyrs, (Rev 6:11).
c. The universally innumerable multitude, (Rev 7:9).
d. The armies of heaven, (Rev 19:14).
Revelation 19:7-8 "Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him,
for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself
ready." (8) It was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and
clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
All indicating the Church – the Bride of Christ!

1 Thessalonians 5:7-10 For those who sleep do their
sleeping at night, and those who get drunk get drunk at
night. (8) But since we are of the day, let us be sober,
having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a
helmet, the hope of salvation. (9) For God has not destined
us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord
Jesus Christ, (10) who died for us, so that whether we are
awake or asleep, we will live together with Him.
For us, this is a wonderful promise – we will not be here
when the seventh seal is broken – we are not destined for
wrath!

From Chuck Missler’s site:
The Rapture Myth
The Rapture Myth is identical to the doctrine of cheap grace, as
detailed by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Rapture as doctrine is one thing.
The Rapture Myth is a distortion of that doctrine, which says the
Rapture will spare us from all time of trial, suffering, conflict and
the need to do spiritual battle because we aren't going to endure
God's wrath in the time of the Tribulation. It never occurs to the
Rapture Myth people that we may well endure the world's wrath
before Christ returns.
The Rapture Myth takes comfort in the fallacious assumption
that there will be no time of trial in the run-up to the Rapture
and Tribulation. It comforts itself with a "we're going to be outta
here" mentality; not to worry about anything. Just keep teaching
the Bible as if the Bible were an end and goal unto itself. It fails
to notice that the Bible is a manual for action, not just study,
and most definitely not an end in itself. As Jesus said, the
Kingdom of Heaven consists in power, not words.

Conclusion
Hebrews 10: 19Therefore, brethren, since we have
confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus,
20by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us
through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21and since we have a
great priest over the house of God, 22let us draw near with
a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts
sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies
washed with pure water. 23Let us hold fast the confession of
our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;
24and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love
and good deeds, 25not forsaking our own assembling
together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one
another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
