morning you're trying to give us of the times and we live as we look at the horrendous traffic problems in this vast city. Oh father with that in mind we thank you again for for getting us here so safely and and so promptly. Oh father we we pray now that you will send the full power of your Holy Spirit upon us. Please richly bless each and every precious soul gathered here. We pray father that you will convict and inspire those who may be considering to come and join us tonight. Those Lord who would be with us but for some reason or another are unable to do so. Lord please comfort them and bless them and be with them anyway and especially dear God. We pray now that you will richly bless the mind and the intellect of our dear brother Pippinger as he comes to speak to us. May we hear not him but through him the power of your Holy Spirit instructing us. Dear gracious God in Jesus name to your glory we pray this as we thank you. Amen. So indeed yes without further ado I would ask our dear brother Jeff Pippinger to come forward as he tonight shares with us the vital information and breaks the sacred breath of life to us and brother may God richly bless you in your presentation tonight. Good evening. I'm going to continue what I began the other night and I'm developing a foundation for the study that's going to come to a conclusion several days from now and some of what I'm going to say this evening the significance of it will be more understood as we get to the end as we start seeing some of these principles so as much as possible pay close attention to some of these ideas even if I'm not taking a great deal of time to really fully defend them primarily from historical events. What we're going to be looking at is more passages from the great controversy and attempting to demonstrate that what we've been forewarned was going to take place is taking place. The other evening when I began we looked at a quote where the book the great controversy was firmly supported by the spirit of prophecy as the book of the hour that's where past present and future has been set forth for us as Seventh-day Adventists.
