Sheep Nations

Lift our Bibles up and wave them around.

Make Jesus glad, the devil mad Say.

Heavenly Father, I thank you for this atmosphere.

Your presence is just everywhere in this place.

I never take it for granted.

Holy Spirit, shine your light on the Word of God.

Illuminate my spirit so that I'll have understanding.

I need my faith to grow in the area of the end times.

I need to know more about the time we're living in, and so tonight, as I'm taught, I have ears to hear and, lord, you'll tell me what my part in this end time plan is.

In Jesus name, amen.

Let's turn in our Bibles to Matthew 25, please, and also 1 Corinthians, chapter 10.

1 Corinthians 10 · chapter mention

Chapter 10.

We say that Natalia Carlson is healed in Jesus name.

She's recovering.

She's gonna stronger and stronger.

Every trace of sickness and disease and fever and all the stuff that goes with it is banished from their house.

She's feeling a lot better.

She's feeling a lot better.

Praise God.

I know it was miserable for her.

My heart's went out to her.

She had a lot of prayer, but I know they're I mean, you know this is not their first rodeo they're adapted to living on the front lines, but that's why it's so vital and I'm so glad and honored that they're part of us.

We can cover them in times like this.

Did you find Matthew 25 yet let's start reading with verse 31.

All of this is in red.

Jesus is talking.

He said when the Son of man shall come in His glory hallelujah that second song we were singing that I'm telling you.

I just think about he's coming, man.

I mean to tell you, when the Son of man shall come, in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, what?

Just think about that.

Just pause a minute and think about what that's gonna look like.

All the holy angels with Him, then shall he sit upon the throne of His glory.

I'm gonna make you hear Now.

You know the coming of the Lord's in two parts.

The coming of the Lord is he's coming for His saints and then he's coming with His saints.

So this is talking about the second part of the coming.

So we're gonna be there.

But now he's talking to the Jews, so he's not rubbing it in their face.

Are you following me now?

See, always know to whom Jesus is speaking, because if you don't know to whom he's speaking, say, seldom was he talking to the church, because the church didn't exist.

Some of what he says applies to the church, but most of what he said was really for the Jews.

He was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, amen.

So he's on His throne of glory, and before Him shall be gathered all nations.

When we see that word nations, you know, sometimes we think borders, we think countries, but it's talking about the Gentiles, it's talking about ethnos and then the Hebrew, for that word would be goyim, the uncovenanted ones.

It's hard to say that word Covenanted, covenanted, covenanted.

The uncovenanted.

Say it five times, real fast.

So that's the ones he's talking about, people who don't have a covenant.

They'll be gathered before His throne and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divided His sheep from the goats, and he shall set the sheep on His right hand.

All the conservatives will be on the right hand and all the goats will be on His left hand.

That's what the Bible says, what Jesus said, I'm just quoting Jesus.

Everybody say right hand, left hand, everybody say separation.

See, that's what judgment is.

Judgment is separation.

We think of judgment, as you know, fire and brimstone.

We think of judgment as, and it is punishment, but it's separation first and foremost.

Then shall the king say unto them on His right hand.

Glory to God.

Everybody say that's not me, he's not talking about you.

You're in the church, you're not here.

You're not meaning, you're not here for that purpose.

You might be an observer, but you're not.

You're not part of this thing.

Think about when this is, this is, this is well, we'll talk about when it is in a minute.

Then the king shall say unto them on His right hand come you, blessed of my father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

For I was hungry and you gave me meat.

I was thirsty and you gave me drink.

I was a stranger and you took me in Naked and you clothed me.

I was sick and you visited me.

I was in prison and you came unto me.

Then shall the righteous answer him saying Lord, when saw we thee hungry and fed thee, or thirsty and gave thee drink?

When saw we thee a stranger and took you in, or naked and clothed thee?

When did we see you sick or in prison and came unto thee?

When was that?

I don't remember that.

I don't remember that.

And the king shall answer and say unto them verily, I say unto you and as much as you have done it unto the one of these, the least of my brethren.

Everybody shout my brethren.

And as much as you have done it to one of these, my brethren, you have done it unto me.

Then shall he say also unto them on his left hand Depart from me.

He cursed into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels, for I was hungry and you gave me no meat.

I was thirsty, you gave me no drink.

I was a stranger.

You took me not in Naked and you clothed me not.

I was sick and in prison and you visited me not.

Then shall they also answer him saying Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger, naked or sick or in prison, and we didn't minister to you.

When?

When was that?

Then he answered verily, I say unto you, and as much as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me, and these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous unto life eternal.

All right, and then let's look, hold your place there.

Go back over to 1st Corinthians, chapter 10.

How y'all doing this might take a while.

Are you ready?

I once had a organic chemistry lab that lasted three hours.

It was like torture.

Hopefully this won't be torture.

Hopefully this will be instructed All right.

1st Corinthians 10, 32.

Give none offense, neither to the Jews nor to the Gentiles.

My margin says Greeks, it means ethnos, or in the Hebrew it would be goyim, uncovenanted ones.

Same thing Don't give it.

Don't give any offense to the Jews, don't give any offense to the, to the ethnos, nor to the church of God, even as I please all men and all things, not seeking my own prophet, but the prophet of many, that they may be saved.

So we see here in 1st Corinthians, chapter 10, that God sees three groups of people on the earth the Jews, the nations and the church.

The Jews have a covenant with God, the church has a better covenant with God.

And the Gentiles have no covenant.

They have no covenant rights.

They're cursed automatically because why?

Because they are not redeemed by the blood they haven't accepted.

Well, they've been redeemed as far as on the Godward side, but on their side they haven't received it.

Jesus has already done everything for them.

This now we've switched away from where Jesus, where Jesus is talking about, to the Jews in the Old Testament.

That was the Old Testament.

We read from it.

I know it was the book of Matthew.

But that's the Old Testament.

Now we're over in the New Testament and we're looking at this situation, and now there's three groups of people.

Jesus said my brethren, you did it for me, my brethren.

Who's he talking about?

I hear preachers that have street ministries.

They feed the poor.

They have prison ministries and they use these verses.

It has nothing to do with feeding the poor.

It has nothing to do with street ministry.

It has nothing to do with clothing the naked.

It has everything to do with doing it to Jewish people, as, since you didn't do it to these, you didn't do it to me.

He had fully identified with Jewish people.

When did you identify with the church, saul, saul, why persecute us, thou me?

Did Paul ever persecute Jesus?

No, he never saw him.

Who was he persecuting the church?

So in the New Testament, jesus was fully identified with the church and said the church and he are one.

But make no mistake about it, jesus and the Jewish nation is one.

He's fully identified with Jewish people.

What we do to Jews, we're doing to him and Brother Fuss bucket, you know that's anti-Semitic and preaching, you know, all kind of garbage had better watch out, because he's on the wrong side of the equation.

So tonight I wanna talk about sheep nations.

Everybody say sheep nations.

One of the mandates for this church is to wake up the church, and so what happens when you get awakened in the night?

I mean, you know, for some reason you wake up two o'clock, three o'clock in the morning.

If you're like me, the first thing you wanna know is what time is it?

You know, you look for the clock, you're curious, and so it's important.

If we're waking people up, we need to tell them what time it is.

They're gonna be aggravated, they're gonna be angry, they're gonna be resentful that we're criticized.

They're gonna take it as criticism.

They're gonna take it that we're smarter than they are, that we're looking down their nose.

No, we're doing them the biggest favor they could ever have done to them.

We're waking them up so they don't sleep through this whole thing.

Israel is the greatest sign that Jesus is coming soon.

When you wanna know what time it is, you have to look at Israel.

It's like a big billboard on the side of the freeway.

Bridge out five miles, bridge out three miles.

Bridge out one mile.

Well, hopefully, at the five mile mark you start looking for an exit.

Right, I mean, do you wait all the way to the end.

I mean, how many exits do you think there are between you and the out bridge that's out?

You don't know.

I kinda know this city pretty well but I don't know that.

I know every exit off of every freeway, you know.

And so what happens when you get on a freeway and there's no exit and you've got the bridge out, you're gonna get stuck or you're gonna go off the edge of the freeway, one of the two.

You know you're driving.

Let's say you're driving 60 miles an hour.

You're driving the speed limit, little under 60 miles an hour.

That's a mile a minute.

Right, 88 feet per second.

I learned that in my mechanical engineering class.

If you're going 120, like me, it's a 176 feet every second.

As you're traveling 176 feet, so that last mile is eaten up, just like in 30 seconds it's over.

And that's about where we are.

We are, we are we.

The bridge is out.

We've gotta hold up the sign to the rest of the sleeping church that are in dead churches.

Some of them are anti-semitic.

Your friends and relatives going to churches like disciples of Christ.

You might as well be going to the Rotary Club, I read, where the evangelical Lutheran church just ordained their first transgender bishop.

Whoop-de-doo, wow, wouldn't that?

Wouldn't that a milestone, don't you know?

That just thrills God, anyway.

So Jesus is coming soon.

We know that judgment or separation, has begun.

The end, the end time, the final end time.

Alignment of nations has begun.

When you read the book of Revelation, when you read the book of Daniel, when you read the book of all the books Ezekiel, 38 and 39, the alignment of those nations that are listed, that are gonna declare war on Israel and that they are going to be defeated, god himself is going to destroy those nations himself.

It will not be America or any nation, it'll be God.

Those alignment, those nations, basically at the turn of the 20th century didn't even exist.

Those people groups were mostly nomadic and all of the most of the geographic borders are artificial.

They have no relation to the ethnos involved.

So we're not talking, forget about a map and we can lump all the Gentiles into one big group, and they happen to be mostly Muslim.

They're not all exclusively Muslim that are anti-Semitic, but most of the Muslims are committed to the destruction of two entities and that is the Jews and America.

They have this saying over there that they've been saying a long time.

First comes Saturday, then comes Sunday.

The Jews are the Saturday people, we're the Sunday people.

Everywhere in the world we're a Christian nation, except in America.

We're not a Christian nation but we're seen as Christian nation everywhere else.

Now you know, god sees three groups, but I believe that there's a fourth group and that's America.

I believe America was added on in the latter as a surprise.

I believe America was in the heart of God to be an end time blessing to the rest of the nations.

God knows the end.

From the beginning he saw the failure of Western Europe which led the lead of revival.

You had great revivals in Europe.

You know, martin Luther, that was a revival, all those revivals.

But they post Christian.

Now France, it's against the law to lay hands on the sick.

Rest you for practice in medicine without a license.

I wouldn't even think of going to France and having a pastor's conference.

I wouldn't bother.

I'd say to those preachers you know what?

Come over here, I'm not coming over there, I'm not going to expose myself to your silly.

And plus, the Muslims have taken over so much.

There's places in Paris you just cannot go.

I've been all over Paris.

I mean every time I see an old movie and I see a scene there I think, well, I've been there.

Well, I've been there.

Well, I wouldn't be there now.

They'd be looking for a rusty knife, take my head off or maybe hold me for ransom.

Anyway, america's been used as a headship gift and the question that we have to answer is will it continue in its role or will it be eliminated?

I mean, you know, god eliminated Saul.

Saul started off Saul.

King Saul, I'm talking about King Saul started off really good.

He was impressive.

So humble, non-assuming, hiding, didn't want to be too bold, and then he just flipped, went right to his head, eagle maniac.

But really, under the Eagle maniac was a very insecure man and God said I've rejected him.

Samuel, why, why, why do you keep mourning oversaw?

Why you keep crying over saw, seeing I have rejected him?

Now get down to Jesse's house and Annoying the next king.

The son of Jesse is going to be the king which he's talking about, david.

So Is that going to happen to America?

I think it's an open question.

I'll give you the reasons why I'm optimistic later.

Let's just talk a little bit about some, some things that God is going to settle the score in this, in this judgment of the sheep and the goats.

This judgment takes place After Jesus has revealed himself to the Jews and there's a you know, they're gonna look on him whom they have pierced and all Israel.

Paul said, and in First Corinthians, all Israel shall be saved, not saved like you and I, because they'll never be in the church, but saved from hell.

They're not born again, but their covenant Will be upheld.

See God.

If God doesn't know Paul is covenant with Israel, how do we think he's gonna uphold his covenant with the church?

What, what right, if we got to believe that we're going to heaven After all the things that we've done?

We have to believe that his blood is cleansed us.

We have to believe that we're saved by grace, through faith.

That's what we believe in, that, what we believe.

Well, what ground do we have to believe that if God's not faithful with his covenant to the Jews?

The answer is we don't have any ground to believe that, but we do, because he is amen.

So he's gonna.

He's gonna line these nations up and he's going to separate the sheep nations from the goat nations, the saved nations from the condemned nations you could say it that way and he's going to punish Israel's enemies and Israel's going to be standing there watching, going to vindicate his people.

You think about that.

You think about that scene.

The people that are standing there are living people.

They're not dead people, they're not spirits.

That's another judgment.

We'll get into that other judgment, the great white throne judgment.

This is a different judgment.

This is a judgment that's, that is, that's consists of the, of the Live people that survived the tribulation.

How many do you think?

There are probably not that many.

I read the book of Revelation.

It's pretty hard to see how many people could possibly survive what happens.

But Jesus said there's going to be people alive, and so he.

You know, let's.

Let's look at this settling up.

Look at Zechariah 7.

I'm going to take my time, is that okay?

We've got a lot of time.

I might go another 45 minutes.

Can y'all take it?

If we don't do anything except me, just share this message?

I feel like it's the right time.

We got this pressure on Israel right now.

This is a very pivotal time.

Right now there's a lot, a number of things that could be going In directions and I fly, you know, god hadn't told me.

I don't know, but I want to be prepared.

I want us, church, to be prepared and have our faith in there.

So Zechariah, chapter 7, verse 2, when they had sinned under the house of God, cherizer and Regimelac and their men, to pray before the Lord and to speak under the priests which were in the house of the Lord of hosts, and to the prophets saying should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself as I have done these so many years?

Zechariah 7:2

So they are talking about weeping in the fifth month like they've done for so many years is talking about Tisha bov, or the ninth of all of the month of is the fifth month Jewish calendar.

It usually falls in August On our calendar and it's the date that commemorates catastrophes and national calamities of Israel.

And they get together and weep over those terrible times.

So let me just go over a few of them.

And of course they do that to learn from them, so as not to repeat, to stay tender before the Lord and to depend on their covenant maker to protect them from such a terrible time.

And so one of those times was when the 10 spies brought back the evil report.

That was on the ninth of all.

And the 10 spies they didn't take 40 years to die, they died that day before before sundown.

They died instantly by plague For bringing the evil report and said we are going to bring the evil report and said we are not able, we are like grasshoppers.

They died on the spot.

The destruction of the first temple in 586 BC.

100,000 Jews died.

And then, you know, it was rebuilt and the second temple wasn't near as beautiful as the first and Solomon's temple was.

I don't think they could match it.

They didn't have the wealth to match it by the time they built the second temple.

First temple was well.

It took the queen of sheba's breath away.

Everything took her breath away.

She said a half had been told about this, about this nation, about this kingdom, about about you, solomon.

I was told, but I wasn't told the right story.

I'm without breath and this is a queen.

She's no slouch, I mean, she's kind of used to luxury, right.

And so that temple was destroyed on the ninth of all, 586 BC and then about 650 years labor, 70 AD.

Jesus prophesied the destruction of the temple then and the second temple was destroyed on the ninth of all, 586 BC and a million Jews died and massive relocation of Jews.

They were the diaspora.

They were scattered through all the nations according to the curses.

God said if you're going to worship other gods, I'm going to destroy this temple and I'm going to scatter you to all the nations.

And that's where they were.

They were scattered.

They got a, they got a foretaste of being banished to to Babylon.

Remember that only lasted 70 years.

See they, they didn't learn, they, they, they lost their land for, you know, 70 years.

In fact, the reason they did is they got into the sins of the Canaanites and the Bible says that the land vomited them out for homosexuality, for killing their babies.

And that's I'm a little, you know, I'm a little bit in question about whether America is going to make it, or is America going to be vomited out and the Chinese or the Russians or some other combination of Of Raiders come take over before the whole end happens?

I think it's an open question.

I think it's possible.

I have reasons for optimism, which I'll share with you A little bit.

Why are we going through all this?

But because you need to know what scores are going to get settled, what these scores are going to be settled.

And God is long suffering.

He doesn't do everything like we do.

We want to knee jerk and we want to get it done right now.

We won't swift justice.

You know, god stores it up and it's coming a day when all these people that have persecuted Jesus, brethren, are going to pay with eternal fire, and the ones that blessed Israel are going to be blessed forevermore, even though they're not in the church, even though they're not in the body of Christ, even though they're not Christian.

Are you with me now?

That's why we ought not offend everybody.

We ought to be thinking about the idea of how can we get people saved.

This is the dispensation we live in right now.

The worst criminal, the worst sinner is worthy of our efforts to get them saved.

So then you had the bar ko-ba revolt.

He was a Jewish, like a messianic figure.

He was a screwball.

But he led a revolt against the Roman Empire and 132 to 135 AD.

It lasted three years and of course, they crushed it.

600,000 Jews died and they were so thoroughly disappointed because they had taken almost all of their land back.

He had led a revolt and he conquered so much territory.

He took advantage of the Romans and somehow I don't really know all about it, but in the end they lost because God wasn't with them and 600,000 Jewish people died Right at the beginning, 132 to 135 AD.

And then I don't know if anybody knows this here, but Jewish expulsion from Britain.

1290 AD.

The British Empire expelled Jews, said leave, we don't want you.

Any Semitic strain in Britain is very virulent, even to this day.

They get a little credit because of some individual citizens of Great Britain who did, you know, israel a favor, but by and large they're facing a severe problem.

On that day, pretty hard to visualize them as being a sheep nation.

And then, of course, then they're Spain.

Anybody remember 1492?

Was that Columbus Discovered America?

Well, another thing that happened.

Anybody remember Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand?

Well, also in 1492, they signed a proclamation to expel Jews from Spain Because they had beaten the Muslims, the Moorish and won the Crusades.

And they conquered them and they drove them out to where they could declare that Catholicism was the religion for Spain.

And they had a lot of converts from Jewish people that became Catholic and they were afraid, with all these other Jews, that some of the converted Catholics, from being Jews would backslide and go back to being a Jew, and so they wanted to get rid of them and they did.

They got rid of them and really Columbus was a Jew and he was part of a minority sect of Judaism that was under persecution and he was looking for a homeland for the Jews.

That's why he was out and he stumbled across America.

Does anybody figure out?

See, if the devil can successfully smear him?

He can smear Israel.

He can smear the whole thing and misrepresent everything about Columbus.

Columbus is a hero.

It takes somebody like a really good Jewish businessman to talk a queen and a king into financing a Jewish homeland and get the voyage paid for, and on one hand, and on the other hand they're signing the expulsion demand.

I mean, that's pretty amazing.

Are y'all getting anything out of this?

Alright?

So these are all.

Ninth of all.

These are Tisha Bob.

These are events that happened after Zechariah.

Zechariah was the past, and so all the way up into this day there are things that have happened on the Tisha Bob.

It's like this boil it keeps being filled with corruption.

Every so many years there's something that rises up.

You had the eruption of World War I in 1914 on Tisha Bob.

A lot of Jewish people displaced and killed On Tisha Bob.

That was the beginning, in 1942, of the deportation of Jews from the Warsaw ghetto to the Treblinka extermination camp.

Has anybody ever watched the movie the Pianist.

It's really hard to watch.

I've watched it a couple of times and it's just really heartbreaking to watch because it has an excellent portrayal of that time when they crammed all the Jews into the Warsaw ghetto and then bricked them up and laid brick up, big, tall bricks with glass on the top and confined them in one little, tiny little place and crowded them all up and took all of their nice apartments and their furniture from other parts of town.

All they could do was haul what they could get on their person and then they were crammed into little apartments, several families in each one, and then one by one, little by little, they all died.

But the Pianist escaped.

He played on Polish radio and it's a true story.

But seeing that, I can't recommend Schindler's List.

It does much the same, but it's a nasty movie.

I don't like watching that kind of garbage.

I don't care if it's accurate or not, but Schindler's List was made in the 80s when there was a wave of sentimentalism in Hollywood because there's so many all the directors, the movie studios are owned by Jewish people.

I mean, they're all Jews.

And so there was this movement to not forget the Holocaust.

And let's watch out for being anti-Semitic.

All that's down the tooth, don't worry about that.

Now, hollywood is anti-Semitic because the Jews don't peek out.

They'd rather make money.

So this church is a charter member of CUFI.

We were there in 2006 when it started Cornerstone Church.

We were there at the very first meeting and we have contributed to that ministry and that's what it is.

And they lobby Congress.

They lobby for Israel Very, very sophisticated.

And the other thing they do is they travel and they have representatives on every campus for that purpose to spread the truth of anti-Semitism and holding accountable which has happened.

It's just on college campuses.

You have a whole new generation of hatred.

The BDS movement is big on campus.

I forgot divestment and sanctions.

I forgot what the B stands for, but anyway, it's boycott, divestment and sanctions.

So they're trying to break Israel.

They're trying to boycott Israel and if you own any stock of countries from Israel that do business in Israel, divest yourself of those and sanctions against Israel.

For what reason?

There are only ally in the Middle East?

Hatred, it's hatred, it's anti-Semitism, it's demonic.

And so CUFI is standing against it.

And, of course, the Democrat Party has always been traditionally Jewish.

I never understood it.

It's a mystery to me how Jewish people could be anything other than Republican.

I don't understand it.

But they're Democrat and they bought the lie, the gentleman Lyndon Johnson, about the civil rights and all of that kind of thing.

They were alive, a bit of it was alive.

The Southern congressmen and senators were all segregationists.

I mean, I grew up in the 50s and 60s.

I still remember those guys.

They're Ku Klux Klan people.

They were far segregation.

They were the dirtiest, horrible people.

Other ones that unleashed the dogs on the Selma Bridge and all that stuff.

It's all Democrats.

And you tell me that they're for civil rights.

You don't know anything, you don't know your history and that's why I never understood Jewish people.

You ought to be solid with Republicans.

But the lie, see, we've got the lie.

Are y'all with me now?

So these three groups of people and I think you could make a case that there's a fourth group, america.

And so America is a hybrid situation because so many citizens of America see, it's not about being a citizen of America, it's about being a non-Christian American.

Then you are part of another people group that has a covenant.

It's similar to Israel and because of that covenant, that Mayflower Compact the Puritans made, they obligated America to a certain standard.

They obligated America to be one nation under God and, of course, our Constitution picked up on that language, picked up on that heart.

Don't let any of these 1717 or 1719, whatever that movement is is trying to smear our history.

Listen, our forefathers were Christians.

They tried to sell us on the idea that they were really not really Christian.

They were more you know.

Benjamin Franklin really wasn't.

He was more you know.

Theoretically.

No, he was a.

He published Jonathan Edwards sermons.

Are you kidding me?

He was a Christian.

They had prayer meetings.

They prayed before every constitutional convention, every meeting of the constitutional convention.

That constitution was every bit as inspired as the Bible.

It's absolutely bedrock Christianity and they're trying to take that away so that we will, just, you know, accept nominal Christians, will accept the lie and not really stand up for the truth.

So here let's get back to Matthew 25.

So you have Jesus on his throne.

He's got.

He's got the nations the goat nations on his left, the sheep nations on his right.

He tells them why he's got them separated.

He tells them their future Sheep nations enter into.

Your inheritance has been prepared for.

The foundation of the world.

Goat nations go off into everlasting damnation.

You're going to be punished forever and everlasting fire.

These are live people that get thrown into hell.

These are not spirits, these are not people that already died during the tribulation.

These are the people that are alive, that survived the tribulation to period he, and he has.

He has just been reconciled to Israel, just like Joseph was reconciled to his brothers.

Whatever, joseph wept, you know, and his brothers were afraid and everything.

That's what's going to happen.

They're going to look on him, whom they pierced.

They're going to be mortified.

They're going to be mortified that they have persecuted Jesus all their life.

He never believed in him and all of a sudden, he is the actual Messiah and they've missed it all these centuries and centuries, and you know he's going to have to dry their tears and all that.

And then he goes okay, y'all just cool out, I'm going to.

I've got some business, some family business, to attend to over here.

We're going to vindicate you.

We're going to punish the ones that made your life miserable.

Are y'all following what I'm saying?

So all the Gentiles living them will be divided and judged based on their treatment of Israel.

And then he talks about, so we can talk about saved nations, and those are the nations, again, the Gentiles that are alive at the time of judgment.

Let's look at Revelation 21.

The key to all of this is knowing who Jesus is talking to.

When you think he's talking to the church, when he's talking to the Jews, you get all messed up.

Revelation 21,.

Well, let's go back to verse.

Let's go back to 20, revelation 20.

So he's handled the business here.

He's gotten rid of these folks that survived the.

And it says the devil goes out to deceive the nations that are on the four quarters of the earth, so forth and so on, and then the devil is thrown into the lake of fire, into the bottomless pit.

I should say All right.

Then he goes in here.

Verse 11,.

I saw a great white throne and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away and there was found no place for them.

And I saw the dead.

Now see, now he's talking about spirits.

So I saw the dead, the spirits of dead people, both small and great, stand before God and the books were open.

And another book was open, which was the book of life, and the dead were judged out of those saints which were written in the books according to their works, and the sea gave up the dead which were in it.

The death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them.

What does that mean?

Death and hell?

It means exactly.

People that were thrown into hell came back out of hell to stand yet again before the great white throne of God.

They're going to be judged all over again and they were judged every man according to their works, and death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.

This is the second death, and whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

See, the only escape from that, the only escape in that, was if you were a sheep nation or a sheep Gentile.

That's the only escape.

How do you treat it, jesus?

So you could say they were saved by their works.

You see, we're living in the dispensation, where we're not saved by our works, we're saved by grace, through faith.

Right.

When I heard that this whole thing in the tribulation after tribulation, the only way to get saved was by works, it blew my mind.

That's 1986.

I had never heard anybody say that.

I never heard anybody teach it, but it was a man called Harold the truck driver who was.

That's what he was.

He was a truck driver and he'd spent all these time studying the book of Revelation and studying the end times and studying Ezekiel 38 and 39, I heard him speak on Ezekiel 38 and 39, and everything that was gonna happen during those wars.

It was fascinating.

Billy Brim would have him speak for her.

And so the only way for people to be saved after the church has gone to heaven in the rapture is gonna be salvation by works.

On one hand, there are people that are gonna be saved that died during the tribulation because they didn't take the mark of the beast.

It's kinda like I'm not calling the vaccines the mark of the beast, but it's the prelude.

This is exactly what it's gonna look like, folks.

Exactly what it's going to look like.

It's gonna look like what's going on right now.

You're gonna be forced to take the mark and if you don't, you'll get fired.

If you don't, you can't buy, you can't sell, you will literally starve to death.

That's not a good death.

That's not an easy death.

That's a terrible death.

What's gonna happen?

They're gonna go to heaven when they die, even though they're not born again, their spirits are gonna go to heaven.

And it talks about that now.

It talks about that.

How long are you gonna let this go on and not vindicate us?

So they're crying out under the altar of heaven.

They want justice.

So they're not born again.

They're not Christians in the sense that we are.

They're not new creatures, they're not part of the body of Christ.

But they're saved.

They're gonna go to heaven.

They're gonna be with Jesus.

Jesus is gonna wipe all tears from their eyes.

We're not gonna have any tears, man.

We're gonna have everlasting joy.

They're the ones that gonna have some tears.

They're gonna have some.

You know, are y'all with me now?

But this other judgment here is for everyone else, People that they're gonna bring them back out of hell and then throw them into the lake of fire.

The great white throne judgment Now in verse 21, chapter 21,.

And saw a new heaven and a new earth.

And this is after the great white throne judgment.

God has gotten rid of the devil.

He's locked up now forever.

He's never coming out.

All right, the church of Jesus Christ is going wherever we wanna go, whatever Jesus tells us to go to.

We're going there to rule and reign.

I mean we are.

I mean you know, we're not chopliver.

I mean we are the lords and the kings that Jesus is the Lord of and the king of.

That's what we are right now, not we're gonna be.

That's who we are now.

If we only knew who we were, it changed how we pray.

It would change what we put up with.

You don't tell a king what to do.

You don't give orders to a king Now.

So I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away and there was no more sea Boy.

That sounds cataclysmic, doesn't it?

But we're gonna be here when all that's going on.

I don't know how it's gonna happen.

I don't know what it's gonna look like.

It's gonna be better than Disneyland, I can tell you that.

And I saw.

I, john, saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven.

Notice, there was a new heaven.

I believe it's talking about the atmosphere, but he saw a new heaven, the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorn for her husband, and heard great voice out of heaven saying behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, he will dwell with them and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and he, he.

They're God.

So then see, he's cleansed the earth.

There's nobody left.

That's bad.

All the sinners are gone.

All the ones that are left are people that treated Israel correctly and born again, christians and people who wouldn't take the mark of the beast.

That's the only ones that left, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

There should be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither any more pain, for the former things are passed away.

And then he said he goes home and describes heaven.

I want to get down to chapter 23, or verse 23.

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it, for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamb is the light thereof.

Verse 24,.

And the nations of them, which are saved?

Okay, so who are they?

They're the sheep nations.

Here they are again, the saved nations.

They're not born again.

They don't have glorified bodies.

If their physical bodies are alive, they have a finite life and at some point they'll die, and then there'll just be spirits.

They'll never have a glorified body like we have and like Jesus has.

They'll just be spirit beings.

I'm not saying they'll be that they won't be recognizable.

They will be, but they won't be like flesh and bone, are you with me?

And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it, and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor into it, and the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day and there shall be no night there, and they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.

So the sheep nations, the Gentiles that are sheep nations, saved nations, they're gonna be able to go into heaven and be there.

They can bring their honor and glory into God's own presence.

They can come and go.

It's like this, you know, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven, is gonna light down on Jerusalem that is right now, and Jerusalem that is right now will be kind of the entry hall, so to speak, of heaven, and the saved nations have access, so they'll have perks.

Hey, the alternative is a whole lot better than the alternative.

Amen.

And so, and there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defiles neither whatsoever work as abomination or makes a lie.

But they that are written in the Lamb's book of life, that's because they've already been disposed of, they're in hell, they're gone, they are not coming back and he showed me verse chapter 22, verse one.

He showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, and in the midst of the street of it and on either side of the river, there was a tree of life which bear 12 manner of fruits and yielded her fruit every month.

And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the sheep.

Nations Didn't say sheep, but I mean that's the only nations left Right.

Have you been following along?

You gotta go step by step to see the end times and how it's gonna look.

So those leaves are for the healing of the nations, evidently from Armageddon and from all of the terrible stuff that happened during the tribulation.

I mean, when you read the book of tribulation, you see all these vials being poured out and these darkness coming in.

A third of the water turned into blood and all the fish died in the sea.

Can you imagine the stink that's gonna catch you know?

And then I no wonder you gotta get rid of the sea Stinks.

Can you imagine the earth with no sea?

The sea is two thirds of the earth's surface.

You talk about a huge bunch of land.

You're gonna have a whole lot more land than people.

I can tell you that I'd like to have about 50,000 acres now.

Maybe in the middle of it I'd like to have some mountains in there, rivers in there.

Anyway, all right, we're getting back to today's day.

The reason I'm bringing this is because Israel's under attack and God is not happy.

I don't know where we are in the time clock exactly, I just know it's near.

I know it's near it's.

This generation saw the return of Israel to their homeland and that starts the clock In 2001,.

God said this is a premier year and I saw 2001, comma 2002, comma dot, dot, dot.

It's the first in a continuation of years and premier.

I got the idea of like a Hollywood premier, where you got the light shining and the red carpet, people drive up in their limos and they get out to watch the film that they were in.

For the very first time.

I'm attending my premiere of my film and I got the idea that God was gonna do great things first time, things that we'd never seen.

I had no idea 9-11 was gonna be part of it, and that's when I realized that he was giving me a picture of a countdown, just like they used to have over at the Johnson Space Center.

For every space shuttle launch, 10, nine, eight, seven, six we're on a countdown to the final one.

God, I mean, just think about that.

It's been 20 years ago.

That's a nice round number, isn't it?

20?

Every year he gives me something about that year.

Every year, and it's each year is a continuation.

All the blessings are stacked up, but each year has been a challenge.

There's been stuff happen every year that we've had to pray over, and that's one of the big purposes of this church is to maintain our vigilance in prayer.

We're teaching a lot about prayer late in the last month, and so I don't have any dates, but I just know that in September, the 2nd of 1950, brother Hagin's vision that he had where the angel handed him a scroll.

He saw this angel riding a horse.

He couldn't tell it was an angel and he said he got closer and this angel handed him a scroll and he furled the scroll and he read from it for 30 minutes and they were having a meeting, a tent meeting, out in the middle of I don't know up there in northeast Texas I forgot where exactly Farmersville or something up there, black Land, in the middle of an old Black Land.

It was raining the whole day so nobody could come to me.

Only about 20 people showed up and Jesus said come up hither.

He was standing at the top of the tent.

He went up and Jesus started talking to him about the end days, about his ministry, and then he had this angelic vision of this horse and a rider handing him a scroll.

He saw all kinds of things and Jesus said America is receiving her last call.

Think about that 70 years ago it'll be 70th anniversary coming up September.

Well, last September it was 70 years ago, so that's a generation folks.

America is receiving her last call.

Think about how much better it was in America morality-wise in 1950 than it was in 2020.

There wasn't any gay marriage.

Homosexuality was in the closet.

Nobody talked about it.

It was unclean to even think about it.

Nobody married, lived together without marriage.

Nobody was proud of having babies out of wedlock, like Hollywood is naming their kids after stars and all of that goofy stuff.

A lot has happened.

All of it in the really, and in the middle of it, you have to say honestly, the church has departed from much of its orthodoxy and much of its faith.

Thank God for this church.

But there's not very many of us.

I'm not saying we're the only ones, but there's not that many.

Almost all your big churches are just blobs.

They have nothing to say about what's going on.

They steer clear of anything controversial because that could impact the Sunday offering, don't you see?

And so March the 1st of 1999, god told me to wake up the church.

I got a confirmation of that when I went to see Brother Oral Roberts and he had the wake up call visitation from God.

Same kind of visitation I had, more dramatic than mine.

That's why I went and interviewed him.

I've got the DVD out there in the media center.

It's just as current now as it was 16 years ago.

It sounds like it was made last week.

So one thing that I feel encouraged about.

As far as America is concerned, I'm not at all concerned about the church.

You know the church.

God is coming for a glorious church without spot, a wrinkle.

That's God's problem.

I'm not gonna touch that.

I'm gonna obey him to wake it up.

But God's got plans, he's got ways to change things.

Just like that I'm not concerned about the church.

Okay, I'm not.

I don't believe it's gonna be a remnant church.

I don't believe.

I never have believed that it looks like it right now, but it's not gonna be that way in the end.

I'm not discouraged about the church but as far as America is concerned, we love America because this is part of our inheritance in the flesh, in the natural living here.

I'm grateful for this nation, I'm grateful for this city and this faith.

I'm so glad to live here, as opposed to any other place.

I've traveled a lot.

I've never been anywhere.

I'd rather be.

People say, well, what are you gonna do?

Where would you move?

I wouldn't move.

Where am I gonna move?

New Zealand, good Lord.

I had people talking about New Zealand.

New Zealand man, I wouldn't live there.

Go ahead, have you have at it?

I mean, they talk about liberal.

Anyway, the reason I'm optimistic is because of the election in 2016,.

The church got it right.

The church voted for Trump and I believe he was the right president for the right time.

I'm disappointed in his last year.

I think he got snookered.

I'll just say that to you.

I'm not gonna say that publicly or on Facebook, because I love Trump.

I'm appreciative of him, but he is a baby Christian at best.

He had no one to advise him, so I have compassion on him.

He had a lot of prayer, but at the critical time when I think he could have done better, as he let the swamp take over with Fauci and Burks, and the very very first instant I laid my eyes on them, I saw the devil.

I saw demon powers hanging all over them, especially Fauci.

Especially Fauci I think most of you had the same impact and he just didn't see it, or for whatever reason, on that 15th of March, we had two services.

We had a packing event that 15th of March 2020.

People were already closing down.

Lakewood had already closed and I know what happened.

I know the mayor called him and said close and he closed.

Why?

Because the city owns his parking.

He does not own his parking, so he's in a kind of a tough position.

I feel for him.

I wish I mean that's one of those things.

How can you know that that's gonna be a problem?

But it's becoming more and more.

It's there, mark of the Beast, mark of the Beast.

These people are after us.

That's why I wouldn't apply for that PPP loan, whatever you call it.

I didn't wanna ask the government for a 10 cents.

We could have had several hundred thousand dollars and they would have forgiven that loan.

I don't want to even think about it.

We didn't even consider it.

What you mean you'd.

No, we didn't need it anyway.

I'm not asking the government for nothing.

God's my source, praise the Lord.

But I am optimistic about because we did elect a pro-life, pro-israel president, especially pro-Israel.

No one has treated Israel better in our history.

We've had presidents that have treated them shabbily like, oh, obama was the worst and Biden's gonna be even worse.

Harris, I mean whoever's calling the shots?

We don't know who's calling the shots Whole group of them, it looks like.

But we could lose our place as a sheet nation.

So let's pray.

I mean, I think it's worthy of our prayer praying that way.

I'm not gonna major on it because in the end it's irrelevant.

In the end, the church is the church.

That's our main concern.

Amen, did you get anything out of this tonight?

Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen.

Well, it's important to kind of know our future and what's gonna happen.

I mean, it's a big subject.

I don't consider myself an expert in eschatology and I wanna know about eschatology.

Some of you like Perry Stone, some of you like this one.

See, I only listen to Billy Brim, so just take that as my opinion and do whatever you want.

You like Perry, have at it.

Perry's a good church of God guy.

I don't agree with him on a whole lot of things.

I'll just say it that way.

And I think Billy lived in the land, speaks the language.

I don't know of anybody that knows more about Israel and knows more about their customs and has a heart, and that's her whole ministry has been to be a witness and one of the ones pointing toward Israel as a sign of the end times.

So I've always trusted her for listening about that.

And so that just a little hint for you.

Because there's a lot of different opinions about everything under the sun, you can get hopelessly lost and confused about eschatology.

So I wanted to give you this part of eschatology.

This is kind of a general primer on it, right out of the word of God amen.
