  1. Hello, this is Sarah with the Royal Mission Society Church

  2. of God. I want to study. Elijah first came seventeen

  3. verse one to fourteen. Now Elijah the tish Bite from

  4. Tishby and Galleh Gahliad said to ahab As the Lord,

  5. the God of Israel, lids whom I serve, there will

  6. be neither June nor rain in the next few years

  7. except at my word. So then it's saying and unless

  8. except that Elijah's word, there is no rain. So we

  9. got to remember that no rain accepted Elijah's word. Then

  10. the word of the Lord came to Elijah, leave here,

  11. turn eastward and hide in the Kereth Revine east of

  12. the Jordan. You will drink from the brook, and I

  13. have directed the revens stew supply you with food there.

  14. So he did what the Lord had told him. He

  15. went to the Kirath Revine east of the Jordan and

  16. stay there. The revens brought him bread and meat in

  17. the morning, and bread and meat in the evening, and

  18. he drank from the brook. Sometime later the brook dried

  19. up because there hadn't.

  20. Been no rain in the land.

  21. Then the word of the Lord came to him go

  22. at once to Zarapath and the region that didn't stay there.

  23. I have directed a widow there to supply you with food.

  24. So he went to Zara path. When he came to

  25. the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He

  26. called her and asked, would you bring me a little

  27. water in a jar so I may have a drink.

  28. As she was going to get it, he called, and

  29. bring me please a piece of bread, as surely it's

  30. the Lord, your god lives. She replied, I don't have

  31. any bread, only a handful of flour in a jar

  32. and a little olive oil in a jug.

  33. I'm gathering a few sticks.

  34. Tack home and make a meal for myself and my

  35. son that we may eat and die.

  36. Elijah said to her, don't be afraid.

  37. Go home and do it you have said, But first

  38. make a small loaf of bread for me from what

  39. you have, and bring it to me, and then make

  40. something for yourself and your son.

  41. For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says.

  42. The jar of flower will not up and the jug

  43. of oil will not run dry until this day the

  44. Lord sends rain on the land.

  45. So the Lord is.

  46. Gonna send rain on the land, but it's at Elijah's word.

  47. After a long time, in the third year, the word

  48. of the Lord came to Elijah, going to present yourself

  49. to Ahab, and I will send rain on the land.

  50. So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab. Now the

  51. famine was severance to Mary and ahabinson and had summoned Abadiah,

  52. his palace administrator. Obadiah was a devout believer in the Lord.

  53. While Jezbel was killing off the Lord's prophets, OBAIDI had

  54. taken a hundred prophets and hitting them in two calves,

  55. fifteen each, and had supplied them with food and water.

  56. Ahab has said to Obadi, go throughout the land, to

  57. all the springs and valleys. Maybe we can find some

  58. grass to keep the horses and mules alive, so we

  59. will not have to kill any of our animals. So

  60. they divide the land they were to cover. I have

  61. going in one direction, Obadi in another. As Obadi was

  62. working along Elijah in my head, Obadi recognized him and

  63. bowed down to the ground and said, is it really you,

  64. my lord? Elijah guests to reply, go, I'll tell your mine.

  65. As Elijah is here, we have it done wrong. Ask

  66. Obadiah that you are handing your servant over to Ahab

  67. to be put to death.

  68. Surely hits the Lord, your God lives.

  69. There is not a nation or kingdom where my Master

  70. has not se sent someone to look for you. And

  71. whenever a nation or kingdom claims you were not there,

  72. he made them swear they cannot find you. But now

  73. you tell me to go to my master and say

  74. Elijah is here. I don't know where the spirit of

  75. the Lord may carry you when.

  76. I leave you.

  77. If I go and tell Ahab, he doesn't find and

  78. he will kill me. Yet, I, your servant, have worshiped

  79. the Lord since my youth. Having you heard my Lord,

  80. but I did while Jezebel was killing the prophets of

  81. the Lord. I hid a hundred of the Lord's prophets

  82. in two calves, fifteen in each, to supply them with

  83. food and water. And now you tell me to go

  84. to my master and say Elijah is here, he will

  85. kill me. Elijah said, as the Lord Almighty lives to

  86. my term, I will serve who I will surely.

  87. Present myself to Ahab today.

  88. So Obadiah went to me Ahab and told him and

  89. Ahem went to meet Elijah. When he saw Elijah, he

  90. said to him, is that you troubler of Israel? I

  91. have not made trouble for Israel. Elijah replied, but you

  92. and your family have you have a band of the

  93. Lord's commands, and then follow the balls. Now some of

  94. the people from all over Israel to meet you. I'm

  95. Mount Karmel, and bring the four hundred and fifty prophets

  96. of Ball and the four hundred prophets of a Shaer

  97. who eat at Jezebel's table. So all together with eight

  98. hundred and fifty prophets that ate at Jezebel the Adulter's table.

  99. So got to remember that. So Ahab sent words throughout

  100. all Israel. Assembled the prophets on Mount Carmel. Elijah went

  101. before the people and said, how long will you waver

  102. between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him,

  103. but if Baal is God, follow him. But the people

  104. said nothing. Then Elijah said to them, I'm the only

  105. one of the Lord's prophets left. But Ball has four

  106. hundred and fifty prophets. Get two bulls for us. Let

  107. Baal's prophets choose one for themselves and let them cut

  108. into pieces and put it on the wood, but not

  109. said fire to it. I'll prepare the other bull and

  110. put it on the wood, but not set fire to it.

  111. Then you call in the name of your God, and

  112. I will call in the name of the Lord, the

  113. god who answers by fire.

  114. He is God. Then all the people said, what you

  115. say is good.

  116. Elijah said to the prophets of ball, she's one of

  117. the bulls, and prepare it first, as there are so.

  118. Many of you.

  119. Call in the name of your God, but to not

  120. light the fire. So they took the ball, giving them

  121. prepared to Then they called the name of ball from

  122. morning till evening.

  123. Ball answer as they shot it.

  124. If there was no response, no one answered, and they

  125. danced around the altar they had made made at new

  126. and Elijah began to taunt them.

  127. Shout ladder. He said, surely he is a god.

  128. Perhaps he's in deep thought, are busier traveling, Maybe he's sleeping.

  129. He must be awakened.

  130. So they shout the ladder and slashed themselves with the

  131. swords and spears, as was their customers, till their blood flowed.

  132. May day passed and they continued their frantic prophesying until

  133. the times in the evening sacrifice, but there was no response.

  134. No one answered, no one paid attention. Then Elijah said,

  135. to all the people, come to me. They came to him,

  136. and he repaired the altar of the Lord, which had

  137. been torn down. Elijah took twelve stones, one for each

  138. tribe's descendstive Jacob, to the word of the Lord, came saying,

  139. your name should be Israel. With the stones, heepe an

  140. alter in the name of the Lord, and dug a

  141. trench around it large.

  142. Enough to hold twussayas of seed.

  143. He arranged the wood, cut the bowl into pieces, and

  144. laid it on the wood. Then he said to them,

  145. filled four large jars with water, and pour it on

  146. the offerings and on the wood. Do it again, he said,

  147. and they did it again. Do it a third time.

  148. He wought it, and they did it a third time.

  149. The water ran down around the altar and even filled

  150. the trench. At the time of the sacrifice, the prophet

  151. Elijah stepped forward and prayed, Lord, the God of Abraham,

  152. Isaac and Israel, let it be known, say that you

  153. are God in Israel, and I'm your servant. And then

  154. all these things at your command. Answer me, Lord, Anthemy says,

  155. people will know that you Lord of God, turning their

  156. hearts back again. Then the fire of the Lord fell

  157. down and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones,

  158. and the soil, and also licked up the water in

  159. the trench. When all the people saw this, they fell

  160. prostrate and cried, the Lord he is God, The Lord,

  161. he is God. Then Elijah commands to them, sees the

  162. prophets of Bud. Don't let anyone get away. They seize them,

  163. and Elijah had them brought down to Keisham Valley and

  164. slaughtered there. So Elijah prepares the ruined altar of the Lord.

  165. He exposes the eight hundred and fifty prophets that are

  166. adulterous nations, eight hundred and fifty false adulterous nations. He

  167. repairs the altar of the Lord, exposes the Sun God worshippers,

  168. and he brings the Holy Spirit of the Latter Rain.

  169. What is the Holy Spirit? How is the Holy.

  170. Spirit the Latter Rain? It's Joseah sixty three.

  171. Let us acknowledge the Lord, and press on to acknowledge him.

  172. As surely as the sun rises. He will appear. He

  173. will come to us like the winter rains, like the

  174. spring rains that water the earth. So God is known

  175. as the Holy Spirit, as we know. Then when he

  176. comes to us, it's like the spring rains that water

  177. the earth.

  178. That's the latter rains.

  179. In verse eighteen, Yeah, I was in first Kings nineteen

  180. verse eighteen, Yeah, I reserve of seven thousand in Israel,

  181. all whose needs have not bowed down to ball and

  182. whose mouths have not kissed him malchi III. I will

  183. send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me.

  184. Then suddenly the Lord's word seeking will come to his temple,

  185. the messenger of the Covenant in whom you desire, what

  186. comes as the Lord Almighty, the Messenger of the Covenant comes.

  187. But first Elijah must come to prepare the way before God.

  188. John one, verse three, John three, verse one. In those

  189. dangers on those days, John the Baptist came preaching in

  190. the wilderness of Juday and saying, repent for the Kingdom

  191. of Heaven has come near. This is he who was

  192. spoken of through the prophet a voice of when calling

  193. in the wilderness, prepare the way for the Lord, make

  194. straight paths for him. John's clothes were made of camel hair,

  195. and he had a leather belt around his waist. His

  196. food was locus and wild Tiney people went out to

  197. him from Jerusalem and all day and the whole region

  198. of the Jordan, confessing their sins. They were baptized by

  199. him in the Jordan River. But when he saw many

  200. of the Pharisees and Sategies coming to where he was baptizing,

  201. he says to them, you brew to vipers who warned

  202. you to flee from the coming wrath. Produce fruit and

  203. keeping with repentance. And do not think you can say

  204. to yourself, we have Abraham as our father. I tell

  205. you that out of these stones God can raise up

  206. children for Abraham. The axe is already at the root

  207. of the trees, and every tree that does not produce

  208. good fruit will be cut down and thrown to the fire.

  209. I baptize you with water for repentance. But the one

  210. who comes after me is more powerful than I, whose

  211. sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize

  212. you with the Holy Spirit and fire. So who did

  213. John the Baptist baptize? He prepared the way for the Lord,

  214. which was Jesus Christ. Then Jesus came from Galilee to

  215. the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried

  216. to deter him, saying, I need to be baptized by you,

  217. and do you come to me. Jesus replied, let it be,

  218. being so now, it is proper for us to do

  219. this to fulfill all righteousness. Then John consented. As soon

  220. as Jesus was baptized, he went out by the water.

  221. At that moment, heaven was open, and he saw the

  222. Spirit of God descending like a dove and aligning on him.

  223. In a voice from heaven said this is my son

  224. whom I love. With him, I am well please. After

  225. Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went out

  226. from there to teaching, preaching in the towns of Galilee.

  227. When John, who was in prison, heard about the.

  228. Deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples to ask him,

  229. are you the one who was to come or should

  230. we expect someone else. Jesus replied, go back and report

  231. to John. You see what you hear, and see the

  232. blind received sight for the lame walk. Those who have

  233. leprosy are cleans to the death. Here the dead or raised,

  234. and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. Blesses

  235. anyone who does not stumble on account to me, as

  236. John's disciples believe. And Jesus began to speak to the

  237. crowd about John. What did you go in the wilderness

  238. to see it read swayed by the wind? If not,

  239. what did you go out to see a man dressed

  240. and fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes, rings,

  241. king palaces? And what did you go out to see

  242. a prophet? As I tell you, more than a prophet,

  243. this is about one whom it is written, I will

  244. send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your

  245. way before me? Truly, I tell you, among those those

  246. born of women, there is not anything anyone greater than

  247. John the Baptist.

  248. Yeah, whoever is leased in the Kingdom of Heaven is

  249. greater than he.

  250. From the days of the Baptist until now the Kingdom

  251. of Heaven has been subject to violence, and violent people

  252. have been reading it for all the prophets and law

  253. prophesies until John.

  254. If you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah

  255. who was to come. Whoever has ears, let them.

  256. Hear, for John came neither eating nor drinking, and they

  257. said he has a demon. The Son of Man came

  258. eating and drinking, and they say he is a glutton

  259. and a drunker, a.

  260. Friend of tax lectors and sinners.

  261. But wisdom is proven right by their deeds. Matthew seventeen,

  262. verse eleven. Jesus replied, to be sure, Elijah comes and

  263. will restore all things. But I tell you Elijah has

  264. already come, and they did not recognize him. But I've

  265. done to him everything they wish. And the same way,

  266. the Son of Man is going to suffer up their hands.

  267. And the disciples understood that he was talking to them

  268. about John the Baptist, And who is Elijah that's gonna

  269. come in the last days? Bring the Holy Spirit, expose

  270. all the eight hundred and fifty son God worshiping charges,

  271. and restore the broken altar. John fourteen, verse fifteen. If

  272. you love me, keep my commands, and I will ask

  273. the Father, and he will give you another advocate to

  274. help you and be with you forever, the Spirit of truth.

  275. The world cannot accept him because it neither sees him

  276. or knows him. But you know him, for he lives

  277. with you and will be in you. I will not

  278. leave you with orphans. I will come to you. Before long.

  279. The world will not see me anymore, but you will

  280. see him. Because I live, you also will live. On

  281. that day, you will realize that I am in my Father,

  282. and you are in me, and I am in you.

  283. Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one

  284. who loves me. The one who loves me will be

  285. loved by my Father, and I too will love them

  286. and show myself to them. Then, Judas not j just

  287. is carry I said, But the Lord, do you intend

  288. to show yourself to us and not the world.

  289. Jesus replied, anyone who loves me will obey my teachings.

  290. My Father will love them, and he will come to

  291. them and make our home with them. Anyone who does

  292. not love me will not obey my teachings. These words

  293. you hear are not my own. They belonged to the

  294. Father who sent me. All these I've spoken to you

  295. while still with you. But when the advocate, the Holy Spirit,

  296. whom the Father will send in my name, will teach

  297. you all things that will remind you of everything I

  298. have said to you. So christ On Sungholm is the

  299. Holy Spirit who restored the lost truth. The seventh feasts

  300. and three times and the Sabbath day. He exposed the

  301. eight hundred and fifty false Christian denomination to worship the

  302. Sun God on Sunday service, and by keeping his commandments

  303. the New Covenant, the seventh feasts and three times in

  304. the Sabbath, we receive the promised Holy Spirit that only

  305. God the Holy Spirit can give. If you haven't met

  306. Christ on Sungholm and said you have the Holy Spirit,

  307. then you are a false prophet and a liar.

  308. Thank you for listening.
