  1. Father, God, Thank you for Jesus. Thank you that at

  2. the Cross of Christ we all meet, that our lives

  3. are found in Him. That there is grace beyond belief.

  4. There is forgiveness, an acceptance for the sinner, and there

  5. is a change life also that flows from Calvari's Cross.

  6. Help us to have that the Holy Spirit. Lord, we're

  7. living in the end of time and we feel it.

  8. Help us to just love you, know you, and to

  9. be changed people obedient to the word of God in

  10. Jesus' name. Amen. The title of the message this morning

  11. is God on Fire. When I was a child, at

  12. the age of four, I didn't understand the principle cause

  13. and effect in the most basic kind of ways. Is

  14. that typical of children cause and effect? I remember reaching

  15. out in a campfire, It's ingrained in my memory, reaching

  16. out to this glowing, beautiful object near the fire, rock

  17. that was glowing so pretty, and I picked it up.

  18. I grabbed it almost instantly. I felt my hand hurt

  19. intensely like I had never hurt before, and my hand

  20. was on fire. I heard a sizzle sound that was

  21. my skin frying, and then the pain went deep within

  22. my hand. My hand was on fire. I felt it

  23. was fire and hot stone. I quickly realized the stone

  24. and discovered that my right hand was all curled up

  25. and hurting really bad and hot for me, too hot

  26. for me as a child to endure. I began to

  27. cry uncontrollably and scream because the pain would not go

  28. away from my hand. My hand was on fire. Has

  29. that ever happened to anybody here? Okay? That was my

  30. first childhood introduction to fire in the most basic and

  31. painful kind of way. Friend. The Bible teaches us that

  32. the sinner who will not turn to God in this

  33. life will one day be thrown into the lake of

  34. fire at the end of time. And that's a fearful

  35. picture in the book Revelation. What does it mean, the Prince?

  36. The lake of fire is not some mystical place in

  37. the middle of the earth or in another dimension. The

  38. lake of fire is in the future, when God will

  39. eradicate evil on the last day. The Bible teaches this.

  40. And when Christ came to the two demoniacs, remember what

  41. they said, They said, have you come to torment us

  42. before the time? See? Hell was not then Hell is

  43. in the future. Jesus will slay the demons in fact,

  44. the demons are called elohems in the Old Testament gods

  45. false gods. Christ is the god slayer. He is the

  46. one who will destroy the demons at the end of

  47. the age Relation twenty verse fourteen and fifteen. You can

  48. open your bibles. The verse on the screen should help.

  49. Then death and hades were thrown into And what does

  50. the Bible say? What's the word there? The lake of fire?

  51. This is the and it tells us what the lake

  52. of fire is. This is the second death, the lake

  53. of fire. And if anyone's name was not found written

  54. in the Book of Life, the Book of Life is Jesus.

  55. He is the Truth, the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

  56. The Book of Life is him. His mind is his knowledge.

  57. He's God. He has enough information to make us live.

  58. If we're not found in Christ, the Book of Life.

  59. He was thrown in the lake of fire. So how

  60. important is the Book of Life Jesus Christ, our savior.

  61. Hugely important. The Bible teaches that the second death is

  62. the lake of fire. Fire in the Bible is a

  63. symbol of the Holy Spirit and Hebrews one seven angels

  64. are flames of fire because they are spirit beings. The

  65. Angel of the Lord, who was the pre exist in Christ,

  66. who is God in angel form we'd learned from the Torah,

  67. appeared to Moses from within the burning bush. In Exodus three,

  68. verse two and Matthew three eleven, John the Baptist promised

  69. that Jesus would baptize with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

  70. When the Holy Spirit came down at Pentecost, record his

  71. tongues of fire and Acts two three. The disciples were

  72. filled with the Holy Spirit and thus enabled to preach

  73. the gospel. Was the fire good at Benecost? Yes? Or no?

  74. All right? In the book Revelation Relation four or five,

  75. before God's Throne, there are seven torches burning bright, and

  76. John tells us exactly what they are. Relation four or five.

  77. From the Throne issue flashes of lightning, voices, peals of thunder,

  78. and before the throne burns seven torches of fire. And

  79. then it tells us what they are. It says they

  80. are the seven what seven spirits of God? So the

  81. seven torches before God's throne are the I'm quizzing you

  82. the seven spirits of God? Now why are there seven?

  83. We will learn that seven is the word for completeness.

  84. It means the whole, the complete Spirit of God. Think

  85. of the directions here north, south, east west, how many directions?

  86. Give me two more directions up and down, five and six.

  87. There's seven, though, what's the seventh one inside? And so

  88. the Holy Spirit, the complete Spirit of God, the seven

  89. Spirits of God, which is the Holy Spirit, is throughout

  90. the entire universe and sees inside of you. The light

  91. shines the seven torches of God and the seventh Spirits

  92. of God, and they appear in the introduction of the

  93. book Revelation. In Revelation one, verse four. Here the seventh

  94. spirits of God are crossmatched chiastically. If you were to

  95. look at the book Revelation the front side and the backside,

  96. it starts matching, moving toward a center. The Sinner is

  97. Revelation twelve, ten and eleven. But this verse right here

  98. in Revelation one four, the seven spirits in the introduction

  99. matches in Revelation twenty two seventeen. Thus Spirit, So the

  100. seventh spirits is the Holy Spirit. That's how you can

  101. figure that out. The seventh spirits is another way of

  102. saying the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, the seven

  103. the complete Spirit of God, the seven torches, the complete

  104. fire that burns before God's throne is the third person

  105. of the God, the Holy Spirit. Relation five six, and

  106. between the throne and the four living creatures. And among

  107. the elders, I saw a lamb standing as though it

  108. had been slain, with seven horns, with seven eyes, which

  109. are the seven What what does the text say? Which

  110. are the seven spirits of God sent into all the earth.

  111. And so the seven spirits of God are also the

  112. eyes on the lamb. Now wait a second. Seven torches

  113. before God's throne is the Holy Spirit. It's called the seven.

  114. And yet here the seven eyes of the seven spirits

  115. of God are the same thing. Seven torches, seven eyes,

  116. seven spirits the same. The seven spirits before God's throne

  117. are also the seven eyes on the lamb of God.

  118. So you can't take the Holy Spirit away from Jesus.

  119. The connection is very close. So it's just like the

  120. connection that Christ has with his Father. They're one and

  121. Revelation one, fourteen, Revelation two, eighteen, Revelation nineteen twelve. Christ

  122. has eyes of fire in the Book of a because

  123. his eyes are the seven torches of God, the Holy

  124. Spirit eyes of God. Jesus said in Luke eleven thirty four.

  125. Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your

  126. eye is sound, your whole body is full of light.

  127. But when it is not sound, your body is full

  128. of darkness. Therefore, be careful lest the light in you

  129. beat darkness. Friends, we all need a good eye inside

  130. our body. Now, let me say something to our young

  131. people about these verses that we're going to read. Okay,

  132. what I'm gonna do right after my sermon, right after

  133. we preach it, I'm going to have you come up

  134. here and read those verses. Is that fair enough? Because

  135. I forgot? How many of you did not forget? Raise

  136. your hand, did not forget. You're all prepped, So we'll

  137. bring you up here at some point. Hebrews thirteen twelve

  138. says our God is a consuming fire, the fire of

  139. God's presence, the fire of God's glory. Is the Holy Spirit,

  140. the seven torches, the seven eyes, eyes that are on

  141. the lamb. The third person of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit,

  142. comes from God the Father through Jesus Christ the Son,

  143. to represent both the Father and Jesus Christ the Son,

  144. but mostly Jesus to us here on earth. If there

  145. is no third person of the Godhead, we don't have

  146. Jesus with us today. We need the Holy Spirit. Prince,

  147. do you realize it's possible to grieve the Holy Spirit?

  148. In Isaiah sixty three, it says they grieved his Holy Spirit.

  149. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead,

  150. we are told in the Spirit of Prophecy, who does

  151. not come with any kind of limited energy, comes in

  152. the fullness of the Divine Godhead to represent Jesus and

  153. the Father. And the Holy Spirit is a consuming fire.

  154. One John five seven. Here's a verse that some people

  155. say should not belong in our Bible. If you have

  156. the King James version, New King James version, it is there,

  157. some of them, a lot of most of the modern

  158. translations have deleted it, but it was in the Bible

  159. for centuries until they did. And the reason why it

  160. should stay is that it's quoted in the Old Latin

  161. Bible before the Council of Nicea in three twenty five

  162. by Cyprian of Carthage. It's alluded to in the second

  163. century by Athenagorus of Athens, who was a person who

  164. could have known someone who personally knew the John because

  165. he was born around the time John would have died,

  166. and we have other evidences. Athenasius, who was the champion

  167. of the deity of Christ of the Council of Nicea,

  168. quotes this verse as scripture. No one challenges him. In

  169. the codexes that were produced in the fourth century that

  170. were commissioned by Constantine at the Council of Nicea, there

  171. are fifty of them which were books. Codex means books.

  172. That's when they're deleted. Why because five years after the

  173. Council of Nicea, Constantine is anti Trinitarian. He is appointing

  174. bishops that are Aryan and they have a power lock

  175. on the church until the death of his son Constantious.

  176. The first about sixty years goes by before that shift occurs,

  177. and the devil was trying to rip our Bible apart.

  178. But Sister White says that the Waldensians were the first

  179. of the peoples of Europe to receive a copy of

  180. the Bible. They had the old Latin Bible, and one

  181. John five seven is guess what it's in the Waldensian Bible.

  182. The Bible that the people had who went through the

  183. Middle Ages, who preserve the knowledge of God. In fact,

  184. I don't have my Bible here but Relation twelve says

  185. that twelve to six the woman was given the wings

  186. of the Great Eagle that she might fly into the

  187. wilderness where she is a place prepared by God and

  188. the King. James version accurately translates the Greek there where

  189. they should feed her for twelve h and sixty days.

  190. God is the Triune, as Sister White would call it,

  191. the hoarded love of eternity, God, the Father, God, the Sun, God,

  192. the Holy Spirit. How many of you need love in

  193. your life? If God is not love, if God fails

  194. the love test, then we're in trouble Army. In the

  195. Book of Revelation, the second death is the Lake of Fire.

  196. It's when people come face to face with God. The

  197. God who is love, and the glory of Him who

  198. is love will destroy evil. The Bible teaches us that

  199. the lake of fire is the Spirit, the Holy Spirit

  200. himself unleashed from God to destroy evil. At the end

  201. of the millennium, on the Last Day, when fire and

  202. brimstone come down out of Heaven from God in the

  203. outpoint of the Holy Spirit, we will either have a

  204. covering or we will not. We must be in Christ.

  205. Our God is a consuming fire, Holy spirit fire. Turn

  206. to Isaiah thirty, verse thirty three. For a burning place

  207. has long been prepared, yay for the king. It is

  208. made wide and ready. It's pired deep and wide with

  209. fire and wood in abundance. And notice what the text

  210. says next. I'm gonna get my watch off so it

  211. doesn't hear. Take me here. Time will be no more.

  212. As they say in the macrrelation, I turn upside down.

  213. For a burning place has long been prepared. See that's

  214. what the that's what Jesus quotes this first when he says,

  215. go into the fire that has been prepared for the

  216. devil and his angels. It's been in existence for a

  217. long time, but nobody's in it. For a burning place

  218. has long been prepared. Yea for the King has made ready.

  219. It's pire made deep and wide with fire and wood

  220. and abundance. And then it tells you what it is.

  221. The breath, meaning the spirit of the Lord, like a

  222. stream of brimstone, kindles that God, the Father, God, the

  223. Son God, the Holy Spirit are one. God is Spirit,

  224. Jesus said in John four, and the Bible is very

  225. clear in Deuteronomy chapter four and Hebrews thirteen that our

  226. God is a consuming fire. When God made a coven

  227. with Abraham, he passed between the parts in Genesis fifteen.

  228. And when he passed between the parts, he was in

  229. the form of a smoking firepot and a flaming torch.

  230. Our God is a consuming fire in Relation twenty nine.

  231. When the wicked are destroyed at the end of the time,

  232. the Holy Spirit will come down like fire and consume

  233. the wicked. There will come a day when evil dies

  234. at the hands of the Holy Spirit, who is the

  235. fire on the altar at the end of time. The

  236. Bible teaches that Isaiah ten sixteen seventeen. Therefore, the Lord,

  237. the Lord of Host, will send leanness among his fat ones,

  238. and under his glory the Holy Spirit's called the Spirit

  239. of Glory. He will kindle a burning like the burning

  240. of a fire verse seventeen. So the light of Israel,

  241. and I'm quoting from the New King James version. The

  242. word light is capitalized because it's referring to God, the Father.

  243. The light of Israel will be for a fire and

  244. his Holy One, that's Christ for a flame. And my

  245. translation says it will burn, but the Hebrew could translate

  246. he will burn and devour his thorns and his briers

  247. in one day in Matthew, Jesus quotes that verse, and

  248. he says this, do not fear those who kill the

  249. body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who

  250. can destroy both soul and body. Where what does he say? So?

  251. What is hell? According to Jesus, it's the place where

  252. body and soul are what destroyed. So there's no such

  253. thing as eternal life in hell? Is there? It doesn't work,

  254. It's not in the Bible. A text out of context

  255. is a pretext. Now that's a good thing. If God

  256. would to torment people forever and ever and ever, how

  257. could we fall down and worship a God who would

  258. send its people to eternal torture for the crimes of

  259. a lifetime. That doesn't pass the justice test, and that

  260. doesn't pass the Good God test. And it isn't Bible

  261. religion either. The Bible teaches us the second death is

  262. the Lake of Fire, where the soul and the body

  263. will be destroyed by Holy Spirit fire. The Holy Spirit

  264. will be the fire that ignites. The Lake of Fire,

  265. destroys all evil, and the final judge. At the end,

  266. the whole world will become an altar. The Holy City

  267. that comes down from God will be the last ark

  268. with all the animals and all the people in it,

  269. and it will ride the waves of a molten planet,

  270. which becomes the altar. And when the fires go out,

  271. but the Holy Spirit doesn't go out because he's an

  272. eternal fire, Malachi forces will come out leaping like calves

  273. in the stall. When God burns up the wick and

  274. their ashes and the souls of our feet. It's the

  275. last arc experience. It's the last flood. We ride the

  276. waves of a slake of fire to a new world,

  277. a new Earth, like Noah came from the old to

  278. the new. The Holy Spirit will be the fire that

  279. ignites the late of the lake of fire and evil end.

  280. There will come a day when every evil person will

  281. be set on fire, and evil will die on the

  282. last day. People who have rejected the Holy Spirit by

  283. rejecting Jesus in his word will be tormented by the

  284. Holy Spirit's presence because they are now if they had

  285. the full manifestation of the Holy Spirit, that even be

  286. more by him in that day. There'll be no hiding

  287. from the Holy Spirit. If you hate God now and

  288. you will not allow God to come into your life.

  289. If you will not surrender the Holy Spirit in your

  290. life today. You will not be ready for the last day.

  291. His Holy Spirit glory will torment the wicked on the

  292. last day. The Bible says in Hebrews twelve twenty nine,

  293. for our God is a consuming fire. God is eternal,

  294. and God is fire. The sanctuary within it had the

  295. fire of God, the holy fire that destroyed Nadab and

  296. abaye you. And the Holy Spirit is God, and that

  297. means the fire, the Holy Spirit is eternal fire. Don't

  298. let anyone tell you the fire is not eternal. The

  299. Bible teaches it is. It is everlasting fire that will

  300. destroy the wicked. Eternal fire will get it done on

  301. the last day. Turn with me. In Isaiah thirty three,

  302. I want you to look at this verse and watch

  303. it with me very closely. The sinners in Zion are afraid.

  304. Why trembling has seized the God, not the righteous, but

  305. the wicked. Here's what they're saying in quotes, Who among

  306. us can dwell with the devouring fire? Do you see

  307. that question? Who among us can dwell with the everlasting burnings?

  308. What kind of burnings is the Bible talking about? Here?

  309. Help me with this eternal fire. They're afraid of it. Now,

  310. why are they afraid of it Mount Zion? Because Isaiah

  311. will say, God's furnace is in Zion. Psalm seventy three

  312. says I went into the sanctuary. It was there I

  313. perceive their end, God's presence, God's glory, God's fire was

  314. the Chicaina glory that resided between the cherub of inside

  315. the most holy place, and that fire lit the fires

  316. of the altar of the incense. And it was the

  317. sacrificial fire, holy fire. So they're afraid of that because

  318. it's everlasting. He who walked here's the question, according to

  319. most people today, who lives forever in the eternal fire?

  320. According to most Bible preachers out there, what answer they give?

  321. Sinners do Now, that's the question that sinners are asking here.

  322. Who can live in the midst of the eternal fire?

  323. Here's the answer in verse fifteen. He who walks righteously

  324. and thus speaks uprightly, that's who's going to live in

  325. the fire. Who despises the gain of oppression, who shakes

  326. his hands lest they hold a bride, who stops his

  327. ears from hearing of bloodshed, and shuts his eyes from

  328. looking upon evil. He will dwell on the heights of

  329. Zion implied. His place of defense will be the fortress

  330. of the rocks. His bread will be given him, his

  331. water will be sure. Your eyes will see the King

  332. in his beauty. You see, the fire is God, and

  333. only the righteous can live in the midst of the

  334. everlasting burnings. Remember the story in Daniel three, Daniel and

  335. his friends, not Daniel, but Daniel's friends were thrown into

  336. the fiery furnace. The fire killed all the others that

  337. brought him to the door. Who was in the middle

  338. of the fire, the pre existent Christ. And when they

  339. were thrown out of the when they came out, the

  340. only thing that was burned was the ropes that had

  341. bound them. There was no smell of fire on their

  342. clothes or anything. How would you like to have that

  343. kind of ability to live in the midst of the

  344. glory of God? It flows through you. As it says

  345. in Malachi four, we shall come out of that holy

  346. city implied at the end of the millennium, leaping like

  347. calves in the saw from the stall. The wicked will

  348. be ashes and the soles of our feet. On that

  349. day when I act God says, and then it says,

  350. for the Sun of righteousness will arise with healing his wings.

  351. The fire that destroys the wicked heals us. It gives

  352. us love and glory for all time and eternity. The

  353. fire of God is eternal. And the wicked in Isaiah's

  354. day were afraid of the fire that was located out

  355. Zion inside the sanctuary. They were afraid of the Holy

  356. Spirit fire that is the fire we in our lives.

  357. When God came down and fire at Mount Sinai in

  358. Exos twenty, they are all afraid and they pull back.

  359. And God says, when the trumpet sounds, you're to come

  360. up into the mountain. And the people says, we don't

  361. want God to talk to us, lest we die. You

  362. talk to us Moses, and Moses said, look, God has

  363. come in the Hebrews, so that his fear literally what

  364. you are afraid of, will be upon your faces, so

  365. you will not sin. When Moses went up the mountain,

  366. he received the law. He came down. In Exus thirty four,

  367. it says his face was shone with the glory of God.

  368. And Paul says, when we look into the face of Christ,

  369. that Holy Spirit glory sticks to our faces, and we

  370. are on fire in the good kind of way. They

  371. were afraid of the Holy Fire. There's the Spirit of God,

  372. the Holy fire of the Altar, the seven torches of God.

  373. They knew that they cannot live, these wicked people in

  374. exsus Isaiah thirty three, they cannot live in the midst

  375. of the everlasting burnings the verse seventeen. The righteous can

  376. and will live in that fire, that is the Holy Spirit,

  377. fire of God. They will see the King and his

  378. beauty gleaming with fire and light. Because the seven tortures

  379. of God are the seven eyes of God. They will see,

  380. they can endure, they will see see See. Holy Spirit

  381. in our life means we can see. And don't forget

  382. that the eternal Spirit is the very one who helps

  383. us see Jesus Today. We've been told in the spirit

  384. of Prophecy that the person who cannot accept the person

  385. of the Holy Spirit, it is evidence of an unconverted life.

  386. So never diminish who the Holy Spirit is in the

  387. Triune as what she calls it, the Godhead of the Three,

  388. the Father Son, Holy Spirit, that is the hearted love

  389. of eternity. As she describes it, we need the Holy

  390. Spirit to see Jesus. Friends, there will come a day

  391. when every evil person reaches Jesus. And that's what evil is.

  392. It's not you know, if you struggle with sin, you're

  393. you're you're trying to overcome and you're getting on your knees.

  394. You're not an evil person as far as God is concerned.

  395. You're one of his children. But if you've given up,

  396. you're kind of stiff lipped, and you're just gonna follow

  397. your own will and way and push push it toward

  398. God and others, and you're not going to surrender, then

  399. you're not full of the Holy Spirit. Why because Roman's

  400. eight says those who are live with the spirit of God,

  401. these are the children of God. So we need the

  402. Holy Spirit in our lives because the Holy Spirit brings

  403. Jesus to us. And there will become a day when

  404. people have rejected the Holy Spirit will have to interact

  405. with him face to face, and they will be incompatible

  406. because the Holy Spirit is light and fire and life,

  407. and they are darkness, death and doom, and the Light

  408. will banish the darkness on the last day. Sister White

  409. says that the glory of Him who is Love will

  410. destroy sin. Had God done this when Lucifer first sinned,

  411. we were told that God would have appeared to be

  412. arbitrary and that his union verse have been at risk.

  413. So God endured sin, he shielded his glory throughout the centuries,

  414. and he sent Jesus to save us. The Bible teaches

  415. us that Jesus experienced the second death for us on

  416. the cross as our substitute. But what was the last

  417. word I just said here in that sentence as our

  418. What now? How many of you want to face the

  419. judgment bar yourself without Jesus in front of you, keep

  420. your hands down? How many want Jesus to represent you

  421. in the judgment? Good deal? You see, Christ died for us,

  422. so he can also take our place in the preadvent

  423. investigative judgment. So we have passed from death to life,

  424. and we don't have to go through the scrutiny of that.

  425. We have a savior all the way to the resurrection

  426. and into eternity. Hebrews ten twenty six. For if the

  427. sprinkling of defiled persons with the blood of goats and

  428. bulls and with the ashes of a hafer sanctifies for

  429. the purification of the flesh, how much more shall the

  430. blood of Christ who through the eternal spirit? What kind

  431. of spirit here? What does it say? Eternal? Hey, the

  432. Holy Spirit has always been alive. The Holy Spirit didn't

  433. just come online when Christ condescended to take the form

  434. of an angel servant. Christ was the second person that

  435. God had longed before that we are told he has

  436. no beginning, both in the Bible and the spirit of prophecy.

  437. But the fact is that when the Holy Spirit came

  438. into this picture here to the cross. Here it's saying

  439. that when Jesus down on the cross, the cross was

  440. an altar, and he was offered up through the eternal

  441. spirit without blemish to God, he was the lamb. What

  442. would that make the eternal spirit? The fire of the altar?

  443. And it says to purify your conscience from dead words,

  444. to serve the living God. Fire purifies Christ was on

  445. the altar on Calvary's cross, the eternal spirit. What does

  446. that mean? It means God was on fire in Christ.

  447. Hell is at the cross. What we observe is the

  448. second death at the end of the millennium somehow is

  449. at the cross, and every human being from Adam to

  450. the end is in Christ. Paul says God was in

  451. Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not counting our trespasses

  452. against him. The Second Death, the doom at the end

  453. of the millennium, was put through one human being for

  454. every human being who's ever lived, from Adam to the ends.

  455. And when it was done, there was nothing left to condemn.

  456. Jesus said, it is finished. But before he said it

  457. is finished, he said, Father, forgive them. They know not

  458. what they do. Friends, if you're running from the cross,

  459. you're running from Christ, from a surrender to Jesus. Got

  460. no hope of eternal life. But if you get on

  461. your knees flawed though you be, see, Jesus loves you

  462. more than he hated your sin. He loves the sinner

  463. more than he hates the sin. And he found a

  464. way to save a sinner, to transform the heart, to

  465. justify them, to hold them in acceptance through justification by

  466. faith as they grow, and then one day to be

  467. transformed by the power of the Holy spirits of the

  468. nature of evils God, and we share the glory of

  469. the suns of light. Christ teaches that we will take

  470. the place of fallen angels and the resurrection will be

  471. equal to the angels sons of God. When Jesus came

  472. to the garden of Gsemone, let us go there and

  473. retrace the footsteps to the cross. The garden of Gsemone

  474. and the Aramaic language means the oil press oil represents

  475. the Holy Spirit in the Bible. It's one of the symbols.

  476. Jesus began to sweat great drops of blood as the

  477. Holy Spirit was being pressed out of him. In the

  478. garden of Gsemite. Christ became the God forsaken God. In

  479. the garden of Gsemone, the hearted love of Eternity, the

  480. Tribune God, was being ripped apart by the sins of

  481. the world. In the Garden of Casemone, the Bible says

  482. the life is in the blood. We are sprinkled. We're

  483. sanctified by the sprinkling of blood. But it also says

  484. we're sanctified by the washing of the Holy Spirit. The

  485. Holy Spirit flows through the blood. That's why it came

  486. from Jesus' side along with water. As the water opened

  487. up from the rock representing the Holy Spirit. Christ is

  488. the rock. When Christ died, he gave up his spirit,

  489. the Holy Spirit. When Jesus died, he gave up his life.

  490. He shed his blood. Life is in the blood. According

  491. to Hebrews nine fourteen, when Jesus died, he was offered

  492. up in the eternal Spirit, God on fire. Christ experienced

  493. the fires of the Holy Spirit leaving him. He wasn't

  494. afraid of it. He was not incompatible with the fire,

  495. as the wick will be at the end of the millennium.

  496. He lived to have it flow inside of him. When

  497. he was on the mount of transfiguration, he couldn't hold

  498. it back. You know, he was ready. He could have

  499. gone to heaven. He'd suddenly begin to glow with Holy

  500. Spirit fire. But then he put it out, so he'd

  501. come down instead of going up, and he went to

  502. the cross to save us instead. But then the garden

  503. of Gaseimone had started believing him God on fire, leaving

  504. him the oil of the Holy Spirit. The life of

  505. the Holy Spirit was being pressed out of Jesus in

  506. the garden of Simone. His seven eyes were plucked out

  507. of him at the cross, because the lamb is the

  508. seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God. As

  509. God the Father turned his back of his Holy son

  510. because he cannot look on evil and sustain it. He

  511. has to deal with it. The Holy Spirit did the same,

  512. and Jesus became the God forsaken God on Calvary's cross.

  513. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? My God,

  514. the Father, God, the Holy sp Spirit. We have been

  515. the hearted love of eternity, and eternity breaks here and

  516. now I am broken. You are broken? Why have you?

  517. Because you're one forsaken me? Jesus was left alone, holy alone,

  518. without his Father and without his Holy Spirit, burying our

  519. sins and the sins of the whole world and the

  520. darkness of the cross. Now we are told in the

  521. pen of Inspiration that God was there and his angels

  522. were there in the darkness, but Christ couldn't see it.

  523. He had no sense of their presence. The Holy Spirit

  524. is representing Scripture as the seven eyes of God that

  525. roamed throughout the whole earth. They were plucked out of

  526. him at the cross. When the Holy Spirit was being

  527. pressed out of Jesus because of our sins, the seven

  528. eyes of the seven spirits of God, the complete Holy

  529. Spirit was being pulled from Christ, just like Samson's eyes

  530. were plucked out of his head. The mighty man Samson

  531. they took his eyes out. Samson's name in Hebrew comes

  532. from word Shemish for Sun. The man named Sun lost

  533. his eyes. The son of Righteousness, who is the son

  534. of God, was left in darkness because the strong man

  535. who was Jesus in the Book of Daniel, lost his

  536. Holy Spirit eyes on the cross blinded. That's why the

  537. gospels record that there was darkness over the Cross from

  538. the sixth hour of the ninth hour. In the Gospel

  539. Counts of the Cross. The Greek word for darkness is scotos.

  540. The usual word for Greek darkness is scotia or scotia,

  541. depending on how you say it. It's used in the

  542. Greek Septulogen when it says there was the darkness over

  543. the land that could be felt. You see, it's not

  544. just the kind of darkness you see. It's the kind

  545. of darkness you feel when you can't see into the future,

  546. when you're hopeless and you don't know what's gonna happen.

  547. Jesus died in the darkness of the cross, with no light,

  548. no Holy Spirit eyes, no Holy Spirit life, as he

  549. offered himself up to God in the eternal spirit, the

  550. eternal flame of the Holy Spirit of God. Jesus was

  551. God on fire, losing the fire of God at the

  552. same time losing his eyes blinded in the darkness of

  553. the cross, the heat of the fire of Mount Calvary. Now, AI,

  554. how many of you are aware of AI technology? A little bit?

  555. They're going to have to build massive power stations so

  556. that an AI computer system can run. It takes It

  557. could take theoretically the energy of an entire city like

  558. New York City to run AI artificial intelligence. Why because

  559. artificial intelligence to be able to take in so much information,

  560. the CPUs will get so hot. You have to have

  561. enormous energy for artificial intelligence. Now, Christ far surpasses artificial intelligence.

  562. What went through the human mind of Christ supernaturally sustained

  563. would fright him in a moment, But it didn't because

  564. when that angel came down from having the garden of

  565. the Simity and Christ fell to the ground with dropped

  566. with clots of blood, thrombosis, blood clotting coming out of

  567. his pores. The angel gave him God power to live

  568. and endure the pain. He put him on the respirator,

  569. so to speak, so he could get the Calvary's cross

  570. and get it done for you and me. As Christ

  571. began to relive every human life from Adam to the

  572. end in Atonement, the fires of hell were hot on

  573. Calvary's cross. I don't have to look to the end

  574. of the millennium to know what hell is. I see

  575. it on Calvary's cross. I see God on fire. It's

  576. God on fire, suffering the second death, Jesus cried out,

  577. my God, my God, why have you forsaken me? It

  578. was darkness, and he was alone the Tsar of Ages

  579. page seven fifty three. Satan, with his fierce temptations, wrung

  580. the heart of Jesus. The Savior could not see through

  581. the portals of the tomb. Hope did not present to

  582. him his coming forth from the grave a conqueror, or

  583. tell him of the Father's acceptance of the sacrifice. He

  584. feared that sin was so offensive to God that their

  585. separation was to be eternal. Christ felt the anguish which

  586. the sinner will feel when mercy shall no longer plead

  587. for the guilty race. It was the sense of sin

  588. bringing the Father's wrath upon him as man's substitute, that

  589. made the cup he drank so bitter and broke the

  590. heart of the Son of God with amazement. Angels witnessed

  591. the Saviour's despairing agony. The hosts of Heaven veiled their

  592. faces from the fearful sight. Inanimate nature expressed sympathy with

  593. its insulted and dying author. The Son refused to look

  594. upon the awful scene. Its full bright rays were illuminating

  595. the earth at midday, when suddenly it seemed to be

  596. blotted out. Complete darkness, like a funeral pall enveloped the cross.

  597. This is amazing language describing when is there In the Gospels,

  598. there was darkness over all the land till the night hour.

  599. There was no eclipse or other natural cause for this darkness,

  600. which is as deep as midnight without moon or stars.

  601. It was a miraculous testimony given by God that the

  602. faith of after generations might be confirmed, and that thick

  603. darkness God's presence was hidden. He makes darkness his pavilion

  604. and conceals his glory from human eyes. God and his

  605. holy angels were beside the cross. The Father was with

  606. his son, yet his presence was not revealed. Imagine God

  607. the Father, like Abraham beside Isaac, there beside his son.

  608. His son is forsaken, but Daddy's there, Daddy's there. The

  609. Holy Spirit is there. He's the fire of the altar.

  610. The knife, which symbolizes the Holy Spirit was in the

  611. hand of Abraham Holy Spirit imagery. The Father was with

  612. his son, she writes, yet his presence was not revealed.

  613. Had his glory flashed forth from the cloud, every human

  614. beholder would have been destroyed. And in that dreadful hour,

  615. Christ was not to be comfort with the Father's presence.

  616. He trod the wine press alone, and of the people

  617. there was none with him. In the thick darkness, God

  618. veiled the last human agony of his son. All who

  619. had seen Christ and his suffering had been convicted of

  620. his divinity. That face, once beheld by humanity, was never forgotten.

  621. As the face of Cain expressed his guilt as a murderer,

  622. so the face of Christ revealed Innocen's serenity, benevolence, the

  623. image of God. But his accusers would not give heed

  624. to the signet of Heaven. Through long hours of agony,

  625. Christ had been gazed upon by the jeering multitude. Now

  626. he was mercifully hidden by the mantle of God. An

  627. amazing description of the cross friend Jesus was God on fire,

  628. dieing the second death for you and me on Calvary's Cross,

  629. in the darkness and the realest sense, Jesus went to

  630. Hell for us all so we could never ever have

  631. to face the Holy Spirit fire. In the lake of fire,

  632. you see, the Holy Spirit will consume the sinner at

  633. the end of time. But Christ was not out of

  634. sync with the Holy Spirit, so hell for him was

  635. losing the Holy Spirit, losing the presence of God ripped

  636. him apart. Jesus was God on fire, so we can

  637. have the fire in our lives and our hearts, the

  638. fruit of the Holy Spirit. Somehow on the cross, in

  639. the mystery of God revealed God's justice and God's mercy

  640. kissed when Jesus died for us. And in that miracle

  641. of love, that love kiss with God on fire in

  642. the midst as Jesus suffered, as the fire suffered, is

  643. the Holy Spirit suffered for justice and mercy kissed from

  644. every side. It kissed Jesus, and we were in the

  645. middle of the kiss because God was in Christ and

  646. we were in Christ. On Calvary's crost in Jesus, the

  647. hearted love of Eternity embraced us at Calvary's cross, friend,

  648. the Godhead of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

  649. They lost it all on Calvary's cross to save us

  650. and give us a good eternity. And at the cross

  651. justice and mercy. Kiss, dear heart, Never ever forget that

  652. you were in the middle of the kiss. You were

  653. in the middle. You were in the middle, and let

  654. that work in your life. God's not out to destroy you.

  655. God loves you. He loves you more than you sin.

  656. He loves you more than anything you've ever done wrong

  657. in the past. He is the good God of the Bible.

  658. And never forget that Jesus was God on fire for

  659. you on that cross. And never forget their heart that

  660. we were in the middle of that kiss that saved

  661. the world, where the God had the hearted love of

  662. eternity met again, suffered and saved us all in Jesus
