other folks have to say. life comes at yourself fast and one day it really hits you, i'm bald. i hated it. she always wanted to go to the clubs or the trendy restaurants and i always like to go to a place like an irish pub where i can wear a ball cap and a t shirt and not have to wear dressed up stuff where everybody could see i was balding really badly. and i kept playing that game of if it would just top here i'd be good. unfortunately you keep doing that year after year and then suddenly it's just it's too far gone. i know my wife wouldn't care if i was completely bald. this is strictly a personal thing. it's just how i see myself. i loved bozo the clown when i was a kid but i never really wanted to look like him. male pattern hair loss is the pattern that you notice in men who have hair loss. you're losing hair in the front. you're getting some recession, you're getting some balding in the back. and hose areas are coming together until you have no hair on the top of your head. the main culprit is a chemical, a hormone called dihydrotestosterone. most commonly people refer to it as dht. if you have genes that make your hair follicles

sensitive those hair follicles will gradually miniaturize and you look bald. but this hair on the back isn't influenced by dht. those hairs can be made easily into grafts that will be durable. and when they're transplanted into the area then they will grow and they will continue to grow. and that concept is called donor dominance. so this hair which is genetically determined to last a lifetime, to be permanent hair, when you move it, remains permanent lifetime hair. this is the basis for permanent lifelong hair restoration. at 28 years old it just became a stressful situation. every day i'd get up, i'd look in the mirror. i'd constantly be thinking about my hair. when i jumped in a swimming pool it looked ten times worse and i had very deep temple recession so it was really coming in through here. and i had a lot of grafting done in through the center here just to really add some density and thicken that up. simple out patient procedure. i actually got in the car and drove home after it. i had a 2 ½ hour drive home and just took a long weekend off and i went back on monday and nobody knew that i actually had the procedure

done. i was working with a guy who had done bosley hair transplants and i didn't even know it. one day i was confessing that i was pretty concerned about my hair loss, he says why don't you go to bosley and get your hair transplanted. i was like well, i don't want my hair to look like doll plugs. and he goes does my hair look like doll plugs? and i was like what? your hair? once i saw that, it's completely natural. there's no way to tell. hairs grow in one to four hair groupings. we call those follicular units. when we do a hair restoration procedure, what we want to so is place those follicular units in the appropriate places within the hairline or behind the hairline, to maximize density but also to maintain a natural appearance. we take tat hair that's not programmed to go bald and we move it into the areas you'd rather have it. you know areas like the front, your hairline, areas that when people look at you, frame your face. so follicle by follicle,, graft by graft we can pout hair back right where you lost hair. hair by hair. if you look at the photo it's just night and

day compared to where i was and to where i am now, i'm an incredibly happy man and very thankful. a friend of mine i told him hey, you know i went through bosley and look how it's turned out. and then he opened up and he started telling me, you know what? i had some hair restoration too and didn't go to bosley. when you looked at the results that i had compared to his there was no comparison. i was just like man, you should have gone to bosley. as a tv show host actor and singer i didn't feel that losing my hair was exactly great for my image. under bright lights and in front of the camera even a little hair loss tends to stand out. i mean look at me. of course my hair loss made me self conscious. i just couldn't grin and bear it so i covered it up. like many of the folks you're gonna meet on this show, i began to wear a hat or a bandana all the time. i never left the house without one. that sounds like someone you might know, tell them maybe they should do what i did and call bosley. call now for this free information kit. it includes bosley's newest interactive dvd and this

i'd dodged the bullet. i thought for sure man i was the one that got lucky in the family and then it just happened out of nowhere. one day i'm looking at hands full of hair and i'm thinking what happened? what changed? i had a friend that kept trying to encourage me saying look, if you're really that worried about it you got 2 choices, you deal with it or you shave your head. and at one point i shaved my head. and i was a total cue ball. in my opinion go to bosley because they are by far the best. and i felt so comfortable that i wouldn't even hesitate to recommend bosley to someone else. it really is important that you find out everything you can about all of your options from a trusted resource. most of the stuff out there in the marketplace is well, bogus for a lack of a better term. the truth is there are just 3 fda approved treatments that might work for you if you're in the early stages of hair loss. we have 2 goals when you have hair loss. one is retention, hold the hair you have. the other one is to restore hair you've already lost. so at bosley we use everything available to us to hold the hair. medications, medical devices that can help and then at the same time

surgical restoration. a combination treatment is very common in a lot of medical conditions. you use the medical side and the surgical side and of course the medical side, propecia, monoxodil, laser combs. those are very helpful in conjunction with moving more hair into the area so you can improve your appearance. my wife got sick of me complaining. we saw the infomercial on tv and she said just call them and go and see what they have to say. the doctor made me feel real comfortable. how he looked at me when he was doing the look and where, how that was gonna work for me, it was like an artist. and that was, i was just like wow, i'm so glad i did it. i really am glad that i did the procedure. this is all my hair. this ain't goin' away. let's assume you've done your research and you want to take the next step. let's see what it's like to visit one of bosley's nationwide offices for a personalized, no cost, no obligation consultation. coming to bosley for consultation will help answer some questions. hi peter how are you? the only thing it's gonna cost you is a little bit of time. so peter why don't we look at this classification chart here. the role of a bosley counselor is

multi faceted. where do you think you might be on this? i think i'm probably right in this 4, 4 to 5 range. not only are they there to help educate the patient about the options available but it's also to listen to what it is they want to achieve. so why don't we have a look at the photograph that we took a little bit earlier. i'd like to get these empty areas filled back in and then maybe bring the hairline back down. this is a patient who i think is in a similar situation to yourself. it's remarkable. i would love to have a result like that. well what we need to do is get the doctor in and see what his plan is. well the doctor's role is to take the general information and to apply that to the individual patient. now let's take a look at your donor hair top make sure that an accurate diagnosis is made. that is that hair restoration is the proper thing to do and will work, and then to give an idea of what the size of the procedure will be and the eventual outcome. i want to bring your hairline back down where it belongs. we want something that's specific to you. how much hair are you losing? how much are you expected to lose in a lifetime? what are your options in terms of restoration? all in all i'd

say you're an excellent candidate for a hair restoration and you should expect an excellent result. at the end of every consultation the patient is gonna leave with a personalized consultation report. basically a summary of the entire consultation. if you feel, after your consultation, that bosley restoration is the right choice for you, great. if not, that's ok, too. there are a lot of misconceptions about hair loss. i think it's really important that you have an honest discussion with a physician so that you can be an educated consumer and understand what your options may be,. i figured i've got one time to get it right and so i wanted to make sure that i was with the right company that was gonna give me what i was looking for. which was a natural appearance. that's one of the most important things. is this gonna look natural? am i gonna be happy with this? and so i did my due diligence. went online and after doing the research i called bosley, set up the appointment. i did meet with the counselor and when i left there i felt like i had a good comprehensive plan on not only replacing the hair i lost but also trying to keep the hair i had. it was nice to know that i could have something

done and something that was affordable for me. it was feasible. it wasn't something that just the movie stars did. i mean it was something that an average guy like myself could get done, too. i've done hair for 19 years and when someone says they've had a hair transplant if i cannot identify it i'm like, where'd you go? bosley? and yeah. and this is the photo i have hanging up in my studio. so when somebody doesn't believe that i have a transplant i pull this out and they're like, that's not even you. and i go, i would not lie to you about hair. my restoration was done right here and i had some actually filled in the back. so if i want to style it differently and i want to put it up, you know and i want to take it down a little bit, i want to switch part sides i can do that. and it's not like before when i had to place the hair here hoping to conceal some skin. no matter how you cut it or cover it up hair loss well, let's just say that for most of us it's less than desirable. and if you're like me you'll try almost anything to keep it from progressing. and believe me it just doesn't stop on it's own. the problem is that there's not

very many viable options out there. that's why you need to do some research. and the best place i know to start is with bosley. call now for this free information kit. it includes this comprehensive guide book and bosley's newest interactive dvd with extended patient interviews and discussions with bosley physicians, detailing a procedure at bosley. you'll also see how bosley's method of artistically transplanting individual follicular units creates a soft natural looking hairline. bosley is the world's most experience hair restoration expert. having performed over 200,000 hair restoration procedures, bosley's team of dedicated hair restoration experts have helped men and women from all walks of life achieve great looking real results. all we do is hair restoration. that's all we do every day. so naturally we're pretty good at it. where ever you live chances are there's a bosley consultation office near you. at bosley we really focus on providing you with a total solution to your hair loss problem. it feels amazing to have hair again. it's really

coming through and it's just completely thick and you would never even know i had the procedure. and with multiple financing options available for qualified applicants, bosley hair restoration has never been more affordable. plus, to help get you started bosley wants to make it even more affordable. welcome to bosley. by sending you a $250.00 gift certificate good toward a bosley hair restoration procedure. and bosley guarantees that the transplanted hair will grow or we will replace it free of charge. i have to say it was almost a little emotional to see your hair back on top of your head again. i was looking at it and of course my wife was too. she couldn't believe it. i tell you yeah, you get your hair back. i guess when you think about it that i didn't like being bald. it wasn't me. and i know what you're thinking, you're saying to yourself, it's not tat bad. if it would just stop here i'd be ok. but the truth is once it starts to go it usually keeps on going. the bottom line, you can be bald or you can have your hair. call now to receive this free information kit plus your $250.00 gift certificate. there's no cost and absolutely no obligation. so a lot of patients will come and say doc,

you know, i didn't realize that i was losing any hair. and i'll say well you know what? you have been losing hair but it has to get where beyond 50% that's when you start to notice it. and it will continue to go on. his hair loss is progressive and it's dynamic. early on i had gone to a dermatologist and asked him about my hair loss. and i asked him what i could do about it and he said nothing really. you're gonna go bald one day. there's a lot more women that have hair problems than you would imagine. you will find that probably 25% of women have significant hair loss by age 50. most typically women will keep their hairline, keep their temples and lose profusely throughout the top of their heads. the counselor told me what it was all about and brought the doctor in and they said, you know, this is something you can do. and i thought all right well what do i have to lose? you can't see much really, other than my roots which you know, have to talk to my colorist about that. because i've been on tv talking about bosley for years now people are always coming up to me and going dude you did it. you're the bosley guy. wow your hair looks great. i mean i've

told the whole world about my hair restoration because i am so thrilled with it and for me it's completely changed my life. but if you don't want anybody to know, no problem. because the thing about a bosley hair restoration is that it looks so completely natural. dr. bosley brought to hair restoration an attention to the artistry. not just the technical aspects. dr. bosley always recognized that you're not constructing a hairline, part of that artistry that goes into bosley hair restoration is creating a natural looking hairline zone in the front. when a man comes in totally bald in the front we have to start a hairline from scratch. and what we do is exclusively use just one hair grafts in the very front to keep that nice gradual transition and that's extremely important in creating a very natural looking hairline. and as we move back behind that we still want to maintain those one hairs, maybe get some 2 hair units in there. then as we move back behind that we can have 3 and even 4 hair units to add volume and density and give the desired

result. you walk into a forest and you see every tree lined up perfectly, you know nature didn't do that. it's the same with the hairline. you gotta make sure you keep it soft, natural, little bit irregular. another thing that dr. bosley brought to hair restoration is an incredible attention to detail. dr. bosley knew that each individual hair was important. the place you put it, the angle, direction of each individual hair shaft. really the goal is that nobody should be able to tell that you've had a transplant. so there's a lot of artistry involved. it's something that the doctors here are very passionate about because this really allows us to recreate something that we know is gonna give great satisfaction to you as a patient. i went to bosley because their whole organization is set up around hair restoration. so i liked that. it wasn't like i was going to a doctor that does all sorts of different procedures and cosmetic stuff and does hair restoration too you know. all the do is hair restoration. it's amazing how much sensitivity they have to the way your hair is supposed to look. i mean he looked at all my features and he knew where the hairline is supposed to be.

we were talking about the hairline, we were talking about how it was gonna grow and he was like steve what i'm gonna do is i'm going to take the cue from the hair you still have left on your head and see how it curls? the hair i'm gonna replace is gonna curl just like that. i was like he gets what i'm supposed to look like. i like it. for me it's a full complete natural result. i'm sure you're wondering what's the procedure itself like? well i can't speak for everybody but mine was easy. i showed up on a wednesday morning, watched 2 movies, ate lunch and was home that evening. hair restoration procedure now is a simple out patient procedure. we will numb up an area on the back of the scalp and i will excise the donor strip. the length of that strip depends on how many grafts we're gonna do. once the strip is removed the team will take that and separate out the follicular units. the techs that work on our team here, that's all they do. they're trained in that, they do it every single day and they've been doing this for a long time. i'll make the sites and

the team comes in and places the grafts in those sites. making those sites i have to make sure i get the proper angle of the hair that it's gonna grow, the orientation. i don't want the existing hair going this way and the hairs i put in going this way. they all have to flow exactly together. and then once all those sites are made we take one follicle and slide it into each spot. it's like an orchestra and each person has their part and is very experienced at what they do. there's a lot of attention to detail and there is meticulous care at each step in the procedure. despite all of the advances in medicine, hair transplantation remains the only way to permanently replace hair you've lost. once it's over it's something that you'll have forever and then you don't have to worry about it. can you believe that? that was 12 years ago. before i even came into bosley i put my hands on anything to do with hair loss and it didn't give me the results i needed. i needed my hair back and the only way to really do that, the only way to really get your hair to grow back is to transplant it. to take care of yourself. to take care of who you are. i don't

think you can put a price on that. and as you can see, 12 years later, it'll be an investment that keeps growing. i started losing my hair when i was 22 years old. instead of just accepting it as fate or hoping it would somehow get better, i figured there had to be something i can do about it. that's when i discovered bosley. the first thing i did was contact them and learn everything i possibly could about natural hair restoration. and that's exactly what you should do too. call now for this free information kit. it includes bosley's newest interactive dvd and this comprehensive guide book. inside you'll find a self evaluation form to help you identify your specific type and degree of hair loss and learn what to expect during and after a procedure. you'll also receive this in depth medical report on the causes and fda approved treatments options for hair loss. bosley is the world's most experience hair restoration expert. bosley physicians are selected on the basis of their exceptional surgical skills and then trained in the technical and artistic techniques developed by dr. l. lee bosley. believe it or not all this hair in the

front that you're looking at is bosley restored hair. you wash it you get it cut. it's your own real hair growing on the top of your head. and it'll be there for the rest of your life. the fact is there are surgeons out there that could perform the technical aspects of this operation if properly trained. where we excel at bosley is the artistry. making that natural hairline that's gonna look beautiful for the rest of his or her life. putting the hat on was an alternative. a toupee was an alternative. shaving your head was an alternative. but nothing felt natural. it bothered me enough to do something about it and so i did,. and bosley was the best choice i could have ever made for myself. and with multiple financing options available for qualified applicants bosley hair restoration has never been more affordable. plus to help get you started bosley wants to make it even more affordable. welcome to bosley. by sending you a $250.00 gift certificate good toward a bosley hair restoration procedure. and bosley guarantees that the transplanted hair will grow or we will replace it free of charge. that hair would have been gone by now and i'd have

been totally bald on top. so i'm so grateful and thankful because that was who i used to be and his is who i am now. if you've just started losing your hair then chances are it's gonna get worse. and if it bothers you now, then it's already gone too far. think about it. if you don't call bosley then you've pretty much thrown in he towel and decided to go bald. come on. it's a free phone call for free information. call now to receive this free information kit plus your $250.00 gift certificate. there's no cost and absolutely no obligation. i'd like to point out that the results you've been seeing are not unusual. since most men and women prefer to keep their restorations confidential, the people you're meeting in this program are just a few of the patients and they are real patients, not actors, who are comfortable in sharing their experience with you. really didn't have any kind of hairline at all in the forehead. so that was all rebuilt completely. and i didn't want, you know, my hair to look like a 21 year old either. i told them i said i just want hair back on my head. the staff was great. from the second you walk in you're

comfortable. you sit down, they make you fell just you know, relaxed. before you know it they're putting hair on your head. i was 26 at the time. i had the horseshoe coming all the way back around here with a little patch of hair in the front is what i had left. you kind of go in in the morning, they set you up and everything. you're never under general anesthesia, it's all local. so you don't feel a thing. i hung out for 6 hours in a chair watching movies. i was a little tired but other than that i went back to work 2 days later. the night of the surgery dr. carlson called me just to see how i was doing and gave me his cell phone number so if there was any questions feel free to call, don't even hesitate. so. they do really care about you. a lot of the patients drive themselves home. some of the patients go to work the next day. i know i did. we like patients to avoid strenuous exercise, competitive swimming, surfing that sort of stuff fore a week or so. but after that you're right back on your regular game. when you have hair restoration, the next day you don't look different.

people aren't saying what'd you do yesterday? but over time, months after the hair has been restored, the hair slowly grows in. and before you know it 3 months go by and you start to see a little growth, and 3 to 6 months there's really a lot of growth and 6 to 12 months there's just new hair there. real hair. natural looking. it's unbelievable. so it gives you a dramatic change in a very subtle way. you know kids tell you maybe not what you want to hear, but they'll tell you the truth that's for sure. they would go out in public and tell other people. mommy didn't have hair. and though i'm a very confident person, it would hurt at the end of the day. what i had was traction alopecia caused by years of weave, every kind of braid you can think of and over time, with the constant pulling, the hair eventually was gone. it is pretty severe. embarrassing. bosley, they made me feel like i was a human being with feelings. which everyplace should but bosley really

emphasized that. it's a normal day. i can go out with the kids and i don't have to worry about what other people think because i have hair. i have had people break down in the office win tears. because they are so happy for what we've done for them. i just didn't know how good having hair felt. until i got my hair back. you know that old saying in business, if you had everything to gain and nothing to lose why wouldn't you do it? that's right where i was physically with not having hair. it may not show it as much. that's just a kind of little wisp that's going across a big old bald spot in that back. and then i had nothing in the front. i hated it. i just hated it. take this away would you? a lot of us guys and surprisingly many women find themselves eventually having to deal with hair loss. some give in and decide it's just a fact of life. but if it bothers you and you're one of those people who would like to do something about your hair loss before it gets completely out of control, you probably have a few questions you'd like answered first. well you can get those

announcer welcome to through the bible with les feldick, a thirty-minute walk through the scriptures, teaching in-depth bible truths that change people's lives. now here's your host les feldick. les feldick okay, once again it's good to have everybody back and you've all had your coffee, and see, for you folks out in television that's what you miss. you ought to be in here and have a time of fellowship along with being fed from the word. but again, we just appreciate so many of you writing words of encouragement. every once in a while, i'll have to just tell somebody that calls, 'you made my day!' because, well we just never get any bad phone calls. we don't get any bad letters and i just praise the lord for that because everybody is

receiving all this with open hearts. okay, for those of you in the studio as well as you in television, we're in our trek through isaiah, we are up to isaiah 61 which of course has triggered these last couple of programs and we're going to do the same thing with this one. but for sake of anybody who may have just tuned in today for the first time, we are examining - why did jesus stop in the middle of the verse when he read in luke chapter 4 in the synagogue in nazareth. so, we're going to go back and see where he read from in isaiah 61 that's the verse we've got here on the board and again be reminded that we're in book number 62 today. so in isaiah 61 just for a quick reminder, this is what jesus read and we have it recorded in luke 4 remember, "the spirit of the lord god is upon me because the lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings to the

meek. he hath sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, the opening of the prison to them that are bound, to proclaim the acceptable year of the lord." and that's where he stopped. right in the middle of the verse. and of course, that's why the jews were aghast and just stared him down and consequently he stood up then and said, "this has been fulfilled in your ears." and he knew that the rest of those statements would not happen for another 2000 years or more and so that's why with his knowledge of the deity, he could do that. now in a little bit we're going to come to peter doing the same thing but he doesn't have the wherewithal, the knowledge that christ had, to stop where he should have stopped. peter takes it all the way to the end of the prophecy, thinking of course that - well my time line isn't there now - but thinking that that time line was going to keep right on going, see? all right, so here's the whole concept of

these last couple of programs, how that we can take prophetic scriptures and show how graphically the first part was fulfilled in his first coming. the rest has been pushed out into the future. but, these people didn't know that. they were expecting all this to happen in their lifetime. and of course we pointed that out specifically then when we taught the little jewish epistles of james and peter and john. there's not a word in those epistles of a long 2000-year period of time until christ would return. they thought it was going to happen in their lifetime. and so this is where the lord was unique in all the other revelation of scripture that he knew that these things could not be fulfilled until a 2000-year period went by. all right, now in our last half-hour program then, we were in joel chapter 2, so let's go back there a minute because this

is the portion that peter quotes in acts chapter 2, i think it is. we'll have to go look. but anyway let's start where we stopped in joel chapter 2 where between verse 29 and 30 you can put your dash, or a break of some kind because 28 and 29 were fulfilled at his first advent, especially on the day of pentecost. and then verse 30, 31 and 32 are still future. they haven't been fulfilled yet. all right, so look at the graphic difference, verse 30, "i will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, fire, pillar of smoke." it hasn't happened yet, but it will, when the tribulation comes in. all right, now then let's jump all the way up to zechariah again where we were a little bit ago, but now in chapter 9. and zechariah is a

tremendous book of prophecy. it's just loaded. zechariah chapter 9 verse 9. now this again is so easily dissected. my you don't have to be a rocket-scientist to see what it's talking about. zechariah chapter 9 verse 9, prophecy, written and spoken years before it happened. but we know it happened. verse 9, zechariah 9, "rejoice greatly o daughter of zion." who's he talking to? jews. not gentiles. this is all prophecy concerning israel. "rejoice greatly o daughter of zion,

shout o daughter of jerusalem, behold thy (what?) king...thy king cometh unto thee. he is just, having salvation. lowly (humble.)" see, that's why, who was it, was it one of the twelve that said, 'can any good thing come out of nazareth?' why because it was such a humble place. there weren't any of the elite of israel living in nazareth. they had quartered in jerusalem. so he came from humble beginnings, see? "lowly, (reading on) riding upon a donkey, upon a colt (or the foal of a donkey)". as lowly as you can get. did it happen? of course it did! that was the day of his triumphal entry. and it was more or less the end of his first advent. all right, now read on into verse 10. now we

jump into the next event, which would be the tribulation, "i will cut off the chariot from ephraim and the horse from jerusalem and the battle bow shall be cut off." see that speaks of war and killing, that's the tribulation, see? and then the rest of the verse, what's next? "he will speak peace to the heathen." you see what i'm talking about? so clearly zechariah prophesies concerning his first advent but he ties it right to the tribulation and the kingdom that would follow. and there was no idea that there would be a long time frame in between. all right, now let's just jump into the new testament and let's just jump all the way up to luke chapter 1. luke chapter 1. and i use these verses quite often. so some of you may almost begin to say, 'why

goodness can't he remember that he's already used these?' no i don't forget very easily but these are to apropos for this very reason again of showing that israel was looking for a king and a kingdom. all right, luke chapter 1 and we'll drop in at verse 64. you remember the backdrop. zacharias the priest had been stricken unable to speak as soon as elizabeth became pregnant with john the baptist, and so for nine months he has been unable to speak. and as soon as he announced by writing it on a tablet that the baby's name was john, they were all amazed in verse 63. now verse 64, this priest zacharias, the father of john the baptist, "his mouth was opened immediately

(supernaturally) and his tongue loosed and he spoke and praised god (see?) and fear came upon all that dwelt round about them. and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of judea." in other words, just like any other society, rumors started going 'have you heard what happened to that priest up there at the temple? man, he's been unable to speak for nine months and as soon as the baby is born, he's got his voice!' boy, it was just topic for gossip, see? all right, and it went all through the hill country then of judea. all right, now verse 66, reading on, "and they said, what manner of child shall this be? and the hand of the lord was with him." now verse 67, "and his father (this priest) zacharias was (what?) filled with the holy spirit." this isn't something waiting for pentecost. he already

had been filled with the spirit and in that spirit power, this is what he reveals, and it's not just wishful thinking jews, "and he prophesied saying (now watch this) blessed be the lord god of israel, for he hath visited and redeemed his people. he hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant david as he spake by the mouth of his (what?) prophets." see? all the old testament had been foretelling this, "and that we (the nation) should be saved from our enemies." now that isn't sin there, it's enemies. well who are israel's enemies? the same arab world that's their enemies today. no different. and that's what the hope was that when their king would come in they would be able to withstand all the pressure from the arab world. "and they

could be saved from their enemies and from the hand of all that hate us." now verse 72, "to perform the mercy promised to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant." what covenant? "the one he made with abraham, see? "to remember the covenant that he sware to our father abraham, (and here's what it was) that he would grant unto us (the jewish people) that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him (that is their messiah) without fear and holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life." well, you see, he had no idea that that kingdom was going to be interrupted. all right, now then i think i'm ready to go all the way over to the book of acts, and i'll show you how

that peter was so ignorant of these things that he didn't have the wherewithal to stop in the middle of the prophecy, like he should of, because he didn't know any better. he was under the impression that this top line was going to keep unfolding. christ had now been crucified. he'd gone back to glory. and now in would come the tribulation. christ would return and they could have the kingdom. so, in acts chapter 2 starting in verse 16, here is where peter reveals the old testament program again. but he didn't have the wherewithal that jesus had to stop in the right place. okay. verse 16, he says, everything that you're seeing, the manifestation of the holy spirit and the power and the miracles "this is that which was spoken by the prophet joel."

now see how plain that is? what's peter saying? you have seen joel's prophecy fulfilled on this day of pentecost. and went on to say, verse 17, "it shall come to pass in the last days (now remember what i told you in the last program, according to scripture the 'last days' began with christ's first advent and carry all the way through to the kingdom. not as we look at them as the 'latter days' but the 'last days' were according to the prophetic program. there was only going to be three years of his ministry. probably a short time in between. seven years of the tribulation. that's a total of ten to the second coming and then would come the kingdom. that's all they understood. now, lest you think i'm belaboring that point. i like to go, keep your hand in acts, i'm going to come back in a minute, but i always at a time like this to go to i peter. i peter, the little

epistle, written probably about the same time that paul is writing his church epistles. probably around 60-61 ad. and he's writing to jews, remember. he's writing according to verse 1, writing to the 'strangers scattered, throughout pontus, galatia, cappadocia, asia and bithynia.' so those were jews who had been scattered because of saul of tarsus' persecution. all right, now then, chapter 1 verse 10, and this just says it all. i peter chapter 1 verse 10, "of which salvation the prophets." see, there again, a reference to the old testament writers. "of which salvation the prophets have inquired." what does that mean? they asked questions that they couldn't answer and so, they

"inquired and searched diligently." what were they searching? all those old testament prophets, trying to put this thing together. there were certain little tidbits that they could get a little bit, but nothing ever gelled. and so they "searched diligently...searching what manner of time the spirit of christ who was in them (that is in the prophets as they wrote)...speaking in what manner of time the spirit of christ, which was in them did signify, when it (or he, the holy spirit) testified before hand (now here it is, the holy spirit was revealing in a veiled way all through the old testament) the sufferings of christ and the (what?)...the glory which should

follow." now do you see that? all the old testament had been talking about the suffering messiah. but on the other hand, it was also talking about his ruling and reigning over a glorious kingdom. and they couldn't put the fact together that it'd be one and the same messiah. some of the rabbis actually concocted the idea there would have to be two messiahs and they went back to the naming of little benjamin when rachael was a dying, you remember that as she was breathing her last breath she said, 'his name shall be benoni which meant 'the son of my suffering''. but jacob overruled and said, 'no his name will be benjamin, which in the hebrew meant 'the son of strength and power.' so the rabbis say well here's two different names,

there must evidently going to be two messiahs, a suffering messiah and a ruling messiah. and they couldn't put the whole act together that he would be one and the same, that he would suffer and die, be resurrected, go back to glory and come again. they couldn't figure it out. all right, and so when we point these things out, don't think that they were especially short of brainpower or anything like that, no they weren't supposed to understand. god veiled it for his own purposes. all right, so now then from acts i think we can pretty much go back now, if you'll bear with me, we can go back to isaiah 61 and continue on. the prophecy now of what will follow after the tribulation has run its course and christ will return and bring in this glorious earthly kingdom,

promised all the way up through the prophets. the suffering is past and now the next thing is the ruling and reigning messiah. all right, back to isaiah 61 and jump in again at verse 3. isaiah 61 verse 3, now the next thing is "to appoint unto them that mourn in zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes." now we use that term even in our english vernacular. what does it mean? to have something that is as unattractive as a pile of ashes suddenly become something as beautiful as a rose in full bloom. what's the picture? when the world comes out of the horrors of the tribulation, it's going to be ashes. now i'm thinking, is this a good time? maybe it is. jump up

with me, jump up with me to jeremiah. we've used these verses at least in some of our oklahoma classes. jump up with me to jeremiah chapter 25. now if you've got a little imagination whatsoever, you can see that this is the ashes that's going to be the result of those seven years of wrath and vexation coming on the planet. now i read a lot. i think you all know that. and i'm just amazed at how many intellectual people, if they know anything of this at all, scorn it. they just ridicule it. there's nothing bad ever going to happen. they talk in terms of what's going to be going on in four, five, six hundred years from now. well i've got news for them. they may be intellectuals. they may have degrees. they may think they're elite. but this little old farmer knows a lot more than they do, because i can go

according to the book and this what's coming because this is what your bible says. all right, jeremiah 25 dropping down to verse 30. jeremiah chapter 25 verse 30. now don't scoff at this. don't just shrug this off and say, well this is just some disgruntled prophet. no, this is inspired by the spirit of god and even though we're not going to be here, we don't have to worry about it happening to us, yet it's for us to know to warn people that it's coming. and all i have to say if they have any doubt, aren't they listening to the news? aren't they reading the news? what is the uppermost thought in the nations of the world today? weapons of mass destruction. that's all they're thinking about, that's all they're talking about. russia has now announced

that they're coming out with a greater nuclear weapon than anything else that's in the world. well, what do they hope to do with it? iran. they want to produce nuclear weapons. what are they going to do with them? just as soon as somebody drops one anywhere, somebody else is going to retaliate and it'll just be a domino effect. god isn't going to allow it to happen. he's going to do it. but it's coming all they weapons of mass destruction are going to be used, but in god's time. all of these diseases that the world is worried about, they're coming. and all of the extraterrestrial things, it's all coming because god is going to make this planet ashes out of which he can bring in the beauty of his kingdom. all right, here's the ashes, and i've got to hurry. jeremiah 25 verse 30, "therefore prophesy thou against them all these words and say

unto them, 'the lord (jehovah, israel's god)...the lord shall roar from on high and utter his voice from his holy habitation (second coming see? when he's going to return.) he shall mightily roar upon his habitation (that is this planet.) he'll give a shout as those that tread the grapes." now i'll come back to this when we get into the later chapters of isaiah, probably next month's taping. "and he'll give a shout as they that tread the grapes against all the inhabitants of the earth." not just israel, every human being that's still living will fall under this wrath of a righteous god. all right, verse 31. "a noise shall come to the ends of the earth." now i don't know how you interrupt that but i think it's real simple. nuclear bombs

exploding completely around the planet. now you talk about a domino effect, that's what's going to happen. as soon as somebody drops a nuclear on one place, somebody else is going to retaliate and it's just going to be, well like the book of revelation puts it, it's just going to be like a domino effect, the cities of the world are going to disappear. that's in revelation 17 and 18. all right but this is the old testament's view. all right, go on, "the noise shall come even to the ends of the earth for the lord has a controversy with the nations. (plural.) he will plead with all flesh. he will give them that are wicked to the sword." in other words, their life is going to be taken. verse 32, "thus saith the lord of hosts, behold evil shall go forth from nation to nation and a great whirlwind

shall be raised up from borders of the earth." now what's one of the other effects of nuclear explosion? tremendous wind. remember when they dropped the little atomic bombs in japan and they were little compared to what we've got today, they were just firecrackers and yet what did they experience? tremendous wind that even blew existing buildings down. that's all part of it. the heat and the fire and the wind, see? all right so i think this is a perfect description of how it will finally come to its end. "and there will be a great whirlwind raised up from the borders of the earth (now verse 33.) the slain of the lord" why? because he is pouring out his wrath on christ rejecting mankind. it isn't that he's unfair. he has given now over 2000 years of grace and mercy and they still scorn it. all right, so "the slain

of the lord shall be from that day from one end of the earth to the other. they shall not be lamented. (there'll be no funeral services.) they won't even be gathered." the undertakers won't have to grin one iota. there won't be any to embalm. "they'll not be gathered nor buried. they shall be as dung (or refuse) upon the ground." that's going to be the final outpouring of god's wrath on this planet. all right, come back with me then to isaiah 61. so the beauty will come out of the ashes. after god's wrath and judgment and total destruction will come his beautiful, glorious earthly kingdom. all right, verse 3 again, "he will bring beauty for ashes, the oil of joy

for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they might be called trees of righteousness." now you know scripture refers to trees as something that's beautiful of god's creation. "and they will be like the planting of the lord, that he (the lord) might be glorified." all right, now one more verse, "and they shall build up the old wastes" from the destruction coming out of the tribulation, will come this glorious new restored planet earth. "and they will raise up the former desolation, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolation of many generations. strangers shall stand and feed your flocks and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vine dressers." now what does that tell you? israel has always been the downtrodden people of

human history. they've always been the hated and the persecuted. well what's going to happen here? it's going to be totally reversed. israel will be the apple of god's eye. israel is going to be the most blessed of any of the nations on earth. israel is finally going to inherit all those glorious promises coming up even since moses. and we'll look at that in our next program. what did moses prophesy? that israel would never again be on the bottom of the totem pole; they'll be where? they'll be at the top. they will never again have to beg or borrow other nations; they're going to be the one that will help other nations. and so all the glorious promises of israel are still future and they're coming. announcer thank

>> announcer: the following is a paid program for life alert. [sirens wail, horn honks] >> i can't believe how quickly the fire spread. >> our house and everything we owned went up in flames. >> mom?

...it was really, really scary to just see her lying there helpless and, and nobody could help her. i couldn't even do anything. >> you had an intruder? >> it's scary, and i had this sense of real fear. >> i think it was the most frightening time of my life. i've never been through anything like that before. >> will you be ready if disaster strikes? will your aging parents be ready? what if somebody breaks in? if you wake up to find your home filled with smoke? if you fall and injure yourself and can't get to a phone? if you can't get the help you need when you need it, the consequences can be catastrophic. on today's show, we will meet people caught in that delicate balance between life and death. we will learn how they handled the threat and how they protected their own lives and those of their families. if you trip, if you have a stroke, a heart attack, a broken hip or any other medical emergency, if a fire breaks out in your home, if someone breaks in, you need help. and when you need that help,

how will you get it? meet mary tompkins. mary lives by herself and has always been very independent. after a minor medical emergency, her family became increasingly concerned about her living alone. >> i've always been self-sufficient. my husband and i raised three children and i've always taken care of myself and the house. i want to live alone. my husband passed away five years ago and i don't see myself remarrying... but i don't have the same energy or strength to carry on my life like i used to have, and i, i worry a little bit about my safety if something should happen to me. >> i live five minutes away from my mother, but i worry about her all the time. it, it's not that she's frail, exactly, but she's not as strong as she used to be, and i just can't stand the idea of her getting into trouble and not being able to get help. >> mary: last year i slipped in the shower and the pain in my hip was so intense that i

couldn't get up or get out of the tub, much less go to the phone and call someone for help. >> she fell in the bathroom, she was just lying there for hours. >> mary: luckily my daughter was coming over for lunch that day... >> mom? >> ...and when i didn't answer the door, she opened it with her own key. >> mom? mom? >> mary, faintly: help... >> mom! mom? ...it was a nightmare come true. she was just lying there, and then the hot water had run out and gone cold, so on top of everything else, she was getting hypothermia. >> i kept thinking the pain would go away and then i could get up and find a phone and call for help. i wasn't dying. >> daughter: mother made light of the situation, but i could tell she was badly shaken up. i couldn't help but think, "what if i hadn't come over for lunch that day?" it really scared me. i didn't think she should live alone anymore.

>> i know my daughter means well, but when she talked about a retirement home, i told her i wasn't ready to do that. i love my home. i raised my children here. all my memories are here. i refused to even consider it. ...i'm not gonna give up my home just because i had a little scare... >> daughter: mother and i argued. she just couldn't live alone anymore and that's all there was to it. we, we were just so worried about her safety... and then we heard about life alert. >> life alert is a godsend. it allowed me to stay in my home and have as much privacy and solitude as i please. >> daughter: it gives us the confidence that if anything happens, she'll have the help she needs right at her fingertips. >> i don't feel like i'm gambling with my life just by living alone. actually, a month ago, i did have an emergency. i slipped on a wet patch in my kitchen and i couldn't get up, and i pushed the life alert button... [beep] and before i knew it, there was a dispatcher making sure

i was all right. he contacted the paramedics and they were here fast. the dispatcher also contacted my daughter, so before i knew it, i had help and my family surrounding me. i can honestly say that life alert saved my life. if i didn't have it, who knows how long i would have been on that floor? an hour? a day? a week? i knew i couldn't get up or reach the phone, so life alert was the only way i had to get help. ...thank you very much. ...i intend to stay in my home for a long time, and as long as i'm here, life alert will be here with me, making sure i'm safe. >> without help, mary's accidental fall could easily have turned to tragedy, but thanks to life alert, she got the help she needed quickly. life alert responds to your medical emergency at the touch of a button and summons the help you need fast. no one should lie on the floor for hours waiting for help that

in flames, it's not just a building going up in smoke-- it's your life. >> james: i suppose it's a blessing that we weren't there. i'm very grateful we're still alive. a neighbor phoned 911, but by the time the firefighters arrived, there was nothing they could do. >> lucy: the only thing that survived was our dog and of course we still had the car because we had been away. >> james: and the clothes on our backs. >> yeah. >> and life's been very different since then. >> host: now meet sam and barbara edelstein. the edelsteins signed up with life alert three years ago, and last year a fire broke out in their house. like the walkers, they weren't home at the time. >> it happened in our laundry room. i don't know, i can't tell you the exact cause, but they said that it had something to do with the clothes dryer. [beeping...] >> barbara: smoke was detected by life alert, the fire department did show up, life alert called us on our cell... >> the fire alarm went off at the house. >> ...and it all happened so

quickly, by the time we got home, the fire was out. >> here we have two very similar fire events, but the outcomes could not be more different. and what was different? life alert. life alert detected the fire and called for help even when the edelsteins weren't home. a 24-hour monitored fire protection system is the best way to safeguard your life and all that you hold dear. >> we signed up for life alert because marty has a heart condition and my fear is that something could happen to him while i'm out shopping. >> most people think that the life alert is just a medical alert system, but, uh, it also detects fires. it sure saved our house, i'll tell you, it... no one was home, so that fire would have just kept going and we'd have lost everything. >> we are seniors, we need to know that we can take care of ourselves, but there will always be concern on my part and my husband's part that something beyond our control will take place, and life alert is what we

chose to be our partner in this. >> i sure feel really confident now, and i think that we can handle anything now that we have life alert. >> if you're worried about your safety or if you're worried about a family member, you need to call life alert. life alert will give you peace of mind with a system that saves lives every day of the year. having a life alert system in your home could not be simpler. just pick up the phone and call now for a free brochure.

[♪...] call the number on your screen. >> at four this morning, two intruders broke into the home of an 83-year-old woman and demanded she give them cash. >> woman: i thought i was done. one of the men held me down, put a pillow on my face. they kept yelling they wanted money. i've never been so scared in my life. >> newscaster: luckily, she was wearing a life alert emergency bracelet. >> i pushed my life alert bracelet and the dispatcher came on over the house monitor. >> newscaster: the intruders told life alert that all was well in the house, but the dispatcher was not fooled and called police. the dispatcher then warned that police were on the way, which forced the invaders to

part of you. i seriously considered moving closer to my daughter, but it's really hard to part with something that you've had for so many years. i can't stand to box everything up and give it away and go and live in an assisted living place, because i wouldn't have all the things that i love. i love my garden, i love my kitchen, i love my friends and my neighbors and my dog and a thousand other little things about being independent. since my husband passed away, i had my own health crisis. it was a light stroke. i had to lie there for more than two hours until someone realized i needed help. when i came back from the hospital, i had to do some serious thinking. i didn't want to be caught in that situation again, and i really didn't know what to do. i didn't want to give up my home, i didn't want to go into a retirement home... >> i am so frightened if something happened to you. you've already had a stroke... >> but i've been here forever... >> it's not safe for you

to be here alone. >> ...my daughter was terrified of me being alone. she was nervous. it was affecting her health and her work... [chuckles] just worrying about me, and one day she heard something about life alert on tv. >> if you get into trouble, all you need to do is press the button. >> she says, "mother, i want you to look into this." i made the phone call. very nice people. they told me that it was just like having somebody in the house with me, because if i got into a situation that i wasn't comfortable, or frightened or a health situation, that i could push that little button and i would have help. ...bring it here. good boy, good boy, good boy, good boy! ...i was in the yard playing with my dog when i had this terrible headache. i knew i was having another stroke. i remembered to push the life alert button on my necklace... [beep] and they contacted the paramedics...

and they were there very quickly. because of being there in such a short time, i didn't have as much damage. ...good boy! whee! [laughs] ...i'm well enough now, i'm back in my home, and i feel so much more secure knowing that i have life alert. >> in many cases, life alert can mean the difference between life and death. just because you live alone doesn't mean you have to be alone when it comes to an emergency. even when you cannot reach a phone, you can have the constant protection of life alert.

always dangerous. >> husband: it was the middle of the night...

there with her. >> emma: oh... ...the trash barrels are pretty heavy when you have to pull them-- they're on wheels but you still have to put a little force behind it. i was just starting to wheel the trash barrel out of the garage when somehow i slipped and fell. ...oh! >> her voice is so soft, i didn't hear anything. of course, my hearing's not what it used to be. >> you know, i felt like such a fool. i was like a giant turtle turned over on its back.
