up and this one book but leaves so many up and this one book but leaves so many unanswered unanswered unanswered questions it leaves so many so much room questions it leaves so many so much room questions it leaves so many so much room for for for assumptions and if you're not in order assumptions and if you're not in order assumptions and if you're not in order for you to understand because remember for you to understand because remember for you to understand because remember the Jewish Community spoke a lot in the Jewish Community spoke a lot in the Jewish Community spoke a lot in imagery and in numbers so for the the imagery and in numbers so for the the imagery and in numbers so for the the the the the Jewish Community they can the the the Jewish Community they can the the the Jewish Community they can understand this at a different level understand this at a different level understand this at a different level because a part of their culture and because a part of their culture and because a part of their culture and language language language is numbers and symbolism and here as in is numbers and symbolism and here as in is numbers and symbolism and here as in America we can bar get English right and and cuz over in England they right and and cuz over in England they say we don't speak good say we don't speak good say we don't speak good English and I said English and I said English and I said KY I said hello KY I said hello KY I said hello Governor I said is that better right so Governor I said is that better right so Governor I said is that better right so let me be here so so going through it let me be here so so going through it let me be here so so going through it but then not only that in order for you but then not only that in order for you but then not only that in order for you to really grasp the concept of some of to really grasp the concept of some of to really grasp the concept of some of the stuff that is being spoken about you the stuff that is being spoken about you the stuff that is being spoken about you got to go back to the Old got to go back to the Old got to go back to the Old Testament you got to find yourself Testament you got to find yourself Testament you got to find yourself reading Daniel and Daniel wasn't an easy reading Daniel and Daniel wasn't an easy reading Daniel and Daniel wasn't an easy book to understand you you got to find book to understand you you got to find book to understand you you got to find yourself reading you know Zachariah yourself reading you know Zachariah yourself reading you know Zachariah that's another book with all this that's another book with all this that's another book with all this imagery and and the and the Beast and imagery and and the and the Beast and imagery and and the and the Beast and and I'm like okay what's going on and I'm like okay what's going on and I'm like okay what's going on Lord so I started diving into the Lord so I started diving into the Lord so I started diving into the understanding of Revelation and it's not understanding of Revelation and it's not understanding of Revelation and it's not Revelations it's revelation amen and I Revelations it's revelation amen and I Revelations it's revelation amen and I started diving and the text I'm we're started diving and the text I'm we're started diving and the text I'm we're going to go over today took me back to

Summary
The sermon emphasizes the importance of spiritual strength and resilience that transcends any single individual within the community. Drawing a parallel to Jesus telling Satan to "get behind me," the message encourages believers to reposition the devil's influence by not letting him get ahead of them. The practical takeaway is to actively resist the devil's plans and maintain a steadfast faith, ensuring the mission and vision entrusted to the community continue forward.
