Yeah. So let's start talking. First of all, let's talk about, talk about some of the reasons that 2025, in addition to what you guys said, because I want to hear more about the whole alien thing. I'm not as up to speed. I think I'll be getting you guys up to speed on some of the. The Rapture stuff. And you can give me up to speed on the alien thing in November because they might all be tied together, you know, because I think if the Rapture. If and when the Rapture was going to happen. But when it happens, I think there's going to be an alien component to it because I think that's going to be one of the ways they probably explain how it happened whenever it happens. All right, so let's start with 2025. Why is it such a pivotal year? Well, first of all, let's talk about the Essene calendar. So that's One of the big reasons for it. So who, who are the Essenes? The Essenes were one of the four major religious groups that were around before, during, and a little bit after the time of Jesus. There were the, the Pharisees and the Sadducees. The Sadducees were the, were the political folks who, they were not religious, but they pretended to be, which is, you know what politicians do. They pretended to be religious in order to curry favor. Happens to this day, every politician claims to be a Christian, even though I'm extremely doubtful that most of them are, but they have to pretend to be. So the Sadducees were those folks, but they weren't. They didn't believe in the supernatural, but they pretended they were. So the, so they were the politicians, the Pharisees. They were the highfalutin religious types who would wear, you know, the very expensive robes and expensive jewelry and they would walk around like, you know, their crap didn't stink. And they elevated the, their, their traditions, the traditions of men over the word of God. And they wanted people to follow their traditions instead of the traditions of, instead of the Bible, which sounds a lot like a certain organization that's headquartered in the Vatican who are exactly like that. Those are the ones who, Jesus, Jesus only had a problem with them, no one else. He was fine with you. Or a thief, a prostitute, a fisherman, he didn't care. But if you were a Pharisees, that's who, that's who he had a problem with because they were elevating their traditions over men. You also have the scribes. The scribes were the Torah teachers. They only believe in the first five books of, of the Bible, the Law, Genesis, through Deuteronomy, and they excluded everything else. They're like the people who say, you know, I only read the, the red letters in the Bible because that's Jesus is saying and everything else I don't pay attention to. So that's them. And, and they're all named. But then you also had the Essenes. The Essenes were in the Gospels, but they were never called that. But what the Essenes were, they were more than the mystical types. They believed in prophecy. They were, they were, you know, they follow prophecy and they were really, really into the coming of the Messiah. So whenever you would see in the Gospels where Jesus would preach a sermon or have a saying and then you would read, a multitude began to follow him and believe on him. Those were the Essenes because they were waiting for it. They had, we were talking about the Book of Daniel. They Were following the Daniel's prophecy about how, you know, the 70 weeks. And they knew, hey, the Messiah should be showing up right about now according to what Daniel said. And they were waiting for him. And when Jesus came, they said, this is the guy. So the people who just readily follow Jesus, they were the Essenes, even though they weren't mentioned. So what is it about the Essenes that relates to 20, 25? Well, they famously had a calendar. And in their calendar they believed that the our existence on earth would last 7,000 years. And it had, they separated it into 2,000 year eras or epochs followed by a last 1,000 years. So they believe that from the time of Adam to Abraham was 2,000 years. From Abraham to the first coming of the Messiah would be another 2,000 years. Then from the first coming of the Messiah to his second coming would be another 2,000 years, getting us to 6,000. And then the final thousand years would be the millennial reign. So they, and they also measured time by the Jubilees. Now jubilees are in the Bible. The whole idea that these thousand year epochs, they, that was their tradition, but it was not directly in the Bible. But the jubilee years are in the Bible. The jubilee years are 40 or 50 year periods and they're 49 years. And then the next year, the 50th year is a jubilee year. In the jubilee year, it was a time of renewal and celebration where everyone would basically be at rest. And it was a time to renewal. All debts were forgiven, all slaves were allowed to go free. Yeah, any land that was purchased goes back to the original owner. So it's just a time of restoration. So they believed that. So, so, so that's, that's the 50 year Jubilees. And they believe that a lot of these, the majority.
