Sermon
Fellowship: Navigating The Birth Pangs
Publisher transcript
Transcript
-
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the fellowship. Today, we've
-
got a really good discussion topic today, at least for
-
the opening. Before I hit record, John Justice, our dear brother,
-
came on and asked us a specific topic. And I
-
started answering, and the Spirit moved and said, Matthew, this
-
needs to be proclaimed in the church. So, John, why
-
don't you come on and ask us your question publicly, please? Yeah,
-
no trouble.
-
I've come across it for a long time.
-
Jennifer, you need to mute. Sorry. Sorry about that, ladies
-
and gentlemen. John, go ahead. Yeah.
-
It's come across my feed forever, and I've never dove
-
into it. I'm sure there's some monocle of truth to it,
-
but I just feel so.
-
Insincere.
-
But it's the whole idea of Tartaria and the mud flood.
-
To me, it just seems like they built on a
-
pre-flood idea and then just added so much to it.
-
I'm sure there's some things to something. I'm sure Tesla
-
had an idea in this now, but Where it comes
-
from and if it's good or bad, I have no idea.
-
It's just why, you know, why is it coming around?
-
Why is there so much silliness to it? And like
-
I said before, it just seems like it's.
-
Jesus is here.
-
Jesus is there. He's over here. And everybody's telling everybody
-
where to find him. But we all know where to
-
find him. But that's just me.
-
All right, John, that's a very good question. And I'm
-
going to start out like I did before with a
-
generic answer. The subject of Tartaria. Is a sub-genre of entertainment.
-
You can also label big genres of entertainment. By different
-
genres of sports. Of course there's football. Of course there's soccer.
-
Of course there's baseball. These are sub-genres of entertainment. They're
-
nothing more than entertainment. Within the church. Within every church.
-
There is a left side and a right side of
-
the aisle. On the left side are the preterists. On
-
the right side are the dispensationalists. The church has been
-
categorically divided in two. John, the reason why you're seeing
-
this particularly is because you attend an Orthodox church. Let
-
me explain that. To the dispensationalists, which is on the
-
other side of the aisle from you, their main mode
-
of entertainment is, of course, the pre-trib rapture. That centers
-
on the Feast of Trumpets. Now, the Feast of Trumpets
-
will occur over the Temple Mount, John, in exactly three days,
-
23 hours, 24 minutes, and 17 seconds. So... You need
-
to understand that that's what dispensationalists are being just inundated with.
-
So all of the branches of Christianity that's on that
-
side of the aisle. So you're a Baptist, you're Wesleyans,
-
all of that stuff. They're just going to be inundated
-
with pre-trib rapture stuff and Hebrew root stuff about the
-
Feast of Trumpets. It's critical they get you entertained. On
-
your side of the aisle, which is the preterism side
-
of the aisle, they take a different approach. One of
-
their greatest sub-genres of entertainment for preterists is Tartaria. Now,
-
Tartaria is a great big topic and a great big
-
conspiracy theory among preterists that are also secularists. Many academics...
-
hold to Tartaria in substitution to the great witness of geology,
-
that being the global deluge. Christians call that Noah's flood. So,
-
that's why you're seeing this on all your feeds and
-
all of that. Any academic could tell you this. They've
-
been doing this. I mean, this is one of the
-
primary reasons why public internet access and the worldwide web
-
was allowed. It was the perfect tool to broadly indoctrinate
-
and divide God's chosen people. And God's chosen people is
-
singular divided just by one thing. Of course, you must
-
be saved in the blood covenant of the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
This is the whole purpose of communion. Please look that up.
-
The proof text, of course, is Matthew 26, 26. Beyond
-
any contestation, that is the way it is. And anyway,
-
so those of us that are Christians, we all wind
-
up in one body. And this body has been divided
-
by an aisle. There's dispensationalists on one side and preterists
-
on the other side. You find yourself on the preterist side.
-
So they will never inundate you with all this pre-trib
-
rapture stuff and Hebrew roots nonsense about the Feast of Trumpets.
-
So that is your direct answer. That is why you're
-
being plagued with those things right now. That is the filler.
-
That is the other side of the coin for what's
-
going on right now on the other side of the
-
church aisle. So, all right, let's ask for further questions.
-
Anybody else have any questions? That was a good one, John.
-
That was a good way to start the fellowship. Anybody else?
-
There are many things we can talk about. Anything we
-
can talk about. We can talk about personal things and
-
maybe I should mention a personal thing. Please hook up
-
with John Justice on Facebook if you can. You can
-
get to him through my Facebook page. Just search my
-
friends and on my friends list look for John Justice.
-
You'll be able to find him. He is in the
-
middle of recovery from a massive injury that has put
-
him out of commission for quite some time, and he
-
can't get workman's comp for it because this did not
-
happen at work. So with that, here the past month,
-
Maranatha Ministries, of course, supported John, and we will do
-
so again here as soon as funds are released to
-
the ministry. We'll be supporting John again in as much
-
as we can. And I strongly suggest that you lend
-
him a helping hand yourself. So once again, anybody else
-
have any questions or comments we can talk about here
-
in the fellowship? Going once. Going twice. All right, going
-
three times. Today I did a live stream on YouTube.
-
Very good live stream, 45 minutes long. I did it
-
as a treasure report. I do that a lot where
-
I walk and move around. I can preach better when
-
I move. But we can talk about anything, really. And
-
you need to know that this idea of Tartaria and
-
the mud flood, it is key critical that you understand
-
that God always uses... the global deluge, as the proof
-
in his pudding. That's why the days of Noah are
-
repeatedly used. The great flood is likened to the great
-
way that Noah and the entire human race was saved
-
through that flood. So God repeatedly uses Noah's flood as
-
the proof in the pudding. And we, of course, can
-
see this in modern times, especially with the eruption of
-
Mount St. Helens. There's no such thing as deep time.
-
That is the God of the atheist is deep time.
-
In order for everything to have been done that has
-
been done, they just add more years to it. They
-
just make time deeper and deeper. That's what they do.
-
And Fortunately, with what happened at Mount St. Helens, you
-
can plainly see that the deposits that occurred there and
-
everything that happened there happened in a matter of moments,
-
not millions of years. So we can just use that
-
as one proof. It's just plain that there's no such
-
thing as deep time. All geologists know this. That's why
-
you can never get a geologist and an atheist together.
-
on the same podium because they will burst out in
-
argument because literally speaking, if you know, if you have
-
calculated a water erosion with just the Mississippi river, there's
-
no way millions of years have gone by because literally, uh,
-
the entirety of the North American continent would have been
-
washed into the Gulf of Mexico. This is beyond contestation.
-
So geologists know the amounts of wind and water erosion
-
that occurs on a daily basis on all their main points.
-
For instance, you can look up academic papers On the
-
simple fact that if the earth was millions of years old,
-
Niagara Falls would not be there. Because literally Niagara Falls
-
erodes by a huge measure on a daily basis. So
-
because God uses the great flood as his proof in
-
the pudding, this is what the atheists and the academics
-
and the theologians, they must attack Noah's flood. That's why
-
the entire nonsense of Tartaria and the mud flood comes about.
-
And it's pretty important for you to know that in
-
order to be born again, you must hold to God's word.
-
And I have long made this one of my topics
-
of teaching. when I do teach, and that is the
-
simple fact that mechanically, God's Word is a marvel unto itself.
-
And I'm just going to say this. God's Word is
-
66 books. And it's 66 books because Isaiah has 66 chapters.
-
And Isaiah has 66 chapters because the Word has, you
-
got it, Ace, 66 books. When you can look alphanumerically
-
and mechanically at the book of Isaiah, you will see
-
God there staring back at you. So anyway, good stuff
-
to talk about. Is there anything else anybody wants to
-
talk about now that I've got that out of the way? Anything, anybody?
-
While I get a drink? Yes, no, maybe so. All right,
-
so As we move forward, the focus of this ministry
-
has changed. I am no longer calling to repentance the
-
people that are churchgoers. I have been directed by the
-
Holy Spirit to, from this point forward, warn those that
-
have been born again, those that are carrying their cross,
-
those that are following Christ, those that have been baptized
-
in the spirit of great warning, the great danger that
-
they are putting themselves in by fellowshipping with churchgoers. Now
-
that's a great big statement to make. I am here
-
to tell you categorically, the Bible loudly proclaims this, that
-
in the birth pangs, churchgoers will make martyrs of all
-
the people that are their fellow congregants that have been
-
born again. This is plainly stated in Revelation chapter 6
-
verse 9 and is further elaborated on what these cunningly
-
devised fables that these theologians come up with in Revelation
-
chapter 22 verses 18 and 19. It is God's word
-
that On which we stand. That's what it is. And
-
if you've got further questions. About just the mechanical nature
-
of that. I have put together a website. A very
-
long time ago. Let me switch that tab. And see
-
if I can't bring it up. Because I don't have
-
it readily available. Biblemechanics.wordpress.com If anybody would like to go there.
-
And just marvel. There's no. There's no commentary there at all.
-
That website is just dedicated to be a beginning for
-
you to understand how marvelous and wondrous God's Word is.
-
It is 66 books. That's what it is. And like
-
I said, mechanically, I can prove this beyond contestation in
-
a court of law without problem. Without notes. I wouldn't
-
have to take notes with me. So it's pretty important
-
that those of us who have been born again can
-
pick up on these key terms. Like this live stream
-
that I did today on YouTube. You need to know
-
that another way Christ said this. And really how he
-
repeatedly told this to his own disciples. And he told
-
this to his disciples. The Bible is very clear. He
-
told it to his disciples in public. So not only
-
he was speaking directly to his disciples, but all the
-
crowds were listening to him tell his disciples, you must
-
pick up your cross and follow me. You must be
-
born again. So it's imperative that you all realize there
-
is a great distinction between you and churchgoers. Just like
-
John Justice, I'm sure that if he was able, I
-
don't know if he was able because of his leg injury,
-
if he was able to attend his Orthodox church today.
-
But if he was, John Justice has already been told
-
up front, many of those people, when the day comes,
-
will make martyrs of him. They will. And it's important
-
that you see that going forward, that you don't argue
-
with them, you don't create division with them, you don't
-
stand up and interrupt their services, even though you're going
-
to be tempted to do so. If you do, if
-
you cannot control your own tongue, they're going to make
-
a martyr out of you. And I know that's a
-
very hard lesson to hear. Regardless of that being a
-
tough message, you need to know what the Word says.
-
And here over the past week, I've had many people
-
send me questions about that. they first encountered this ministry
-
and they never heard me say that I was going
-
to share a word with them. So in listening to me,
-
I speak with authority. And because I speak with authority
-
and have authority from the Holy Spirit through, once again,
-
the word, it took them by surprise. So they were
-
confused as to whether I was just reading the Bible
-
or if I was giving them a word from myself. So,
-
a very interesting question, and I'm going to answer that now. No,
-
I have never given anyone a word. A word is
-
when these people are saying that they're speaking to you
-
from God. No, that's not what Maranatha Ministries does. It
-
is categorically the truth, historically true, I have only ever
-
given you the Word. And He has given the Word
-
to everybody. There is no place you cannot get the Word.
-
All 66 books on this planet. Even if you're in Antarctica,
-
via satellites, those people in Antarctica... can upload to the
-
internet and get a hold of Blue Letter Bible. Yes,
-
they can. So literally at this point, no one can
-
say they can't get to the Word. So I'm glad
-
a couple people asked those questions. No. What I am
-
telling you today is not my words. I'm not giving
-
you a word from the Holy Spirit. No. No. The
-
Holy Spirit will do that and He will talk to
-
you all by Himself. He doesn't need me. Because the Word.
-
So take note, the Word. This is why, of course,
-
I know I'm repeating myself, but this is why when
-
the time comes, they are going to make a martyr
-
of you for stating that their traditions are false because
-
those traditions contradict the word and you testify to that.
-
You will testify to them, no, there's no purgatory. No,
-
you know, if somebody dies, you know, and you think
-
they haven't been saved, you can't pay a priest a
-
bunch of money to pray them out of purgatory. No,
-
there's no such thing as as purgatory, that's not in
-
the word, doesn't exist. Penal substitution, one of the gross
-
lies that's been perpetrated upon God's children, that's a complete
-
and utter lie. There's no such thing as penal substitution.
-
Jesus Christ was a ransom for you. This is why
-
penal substitution does not exist in the word. You need
-
to understand what the word is. The word is a
-
binary code from God. It is overlaid Hebrew and Greek.
-
It's what it is. So it's Old Testament, Hebrew and Greek,
-
New Testament, Hebrew and Greek. The Hebrew usually stumps people.
-
That was provided to us by Delitzsch. Look up the
-
Delitzsch New Testament. He didn't even get to publish. It
-
was published in its 10th revision through Dolman. Anyway, don't
-
need to go on and on about that. So we
-
have the complete Word of God, both Hebrew and Greek.
-
And both of those things are true. Do they contain
-
different data sets? Yes, of course, because the Hebrew is
-
like the ones. The Greek is like the zeros. Two
-
completely different data sets. You put them together and you
-
get the whole picture. You get, wait for it, what
-
do you get? The word. Not a word.
-
It's
-
the word. It's the word and it comes first. It
-
came from God. In the beginning was the Word. So anyway,
-
very important that we come upon and cover these very
-
elementary topics as it pertains to our future, our bridal future.
-
We have a future in Christ. That's where our future lies.
-
And we are to trudge with our crosses, to the
-
second coming of Jesus Christ. This is covered in 1
1 Thessalonians 5 chapter mention
-
Thessalonians chapter 5. It's quite simply beyond contestation. It is
-
here that you are told that we are going to
-
be gathered to that's right ladies and gentlemen, it's right here,
-
the pillar of the presence. That's where we're going to
-
be gathered to. I talked about this today in its
-
reference in Zechariah chapter 9. God comes right out and
Zechariah 9 chapter mention
-
tells you you're going to be protected through the tribulation
-
at the pillar of the presence. Because God says he's
-
going to do this twice. He's already done it once.
-
Isaiah chapter 11 verses 11 and 12 says this is
-
how you're going to get through the great tribulation. And
-
we're going to call... This presence of God, the Father,
-
this is the presence of God, the Father. We're going
-
to call that the God of peace. So maybe we
-
should do that. Jump right over to the Bible. Let
-
me see here. Can I even share the Bible on here?
-
It's been so long since I have done this type
-
of thing in a fellowship. Let me see if I
-
can do it. I'm not sure if I can. Share screen. Window. Okay.
-
Blue Letter Bible. Let's do that. Share. Okay. Very good.
-
I am sharing the Blue Letter Bible. Very good. Let
-
me go here and get us to where we need
-
to be. 1 Thessalonians. 1 Thessalonians. Chapter 5. So, this
1 Thessalonians 5 chapter mention
-
begins by saying, no, you're not going to be pre-trib raptured.
-
It comes right out and says that what starts the
-
great tribulation is the day of the Lord. It's beyond contestation.
-
You go through all the references to the day of
-
the Lord that is perfectly described in the sixth seal event.
-
The day of the Lord is the sixth seal event.
-
So know and understand this. Because Jesus Christ already told
-
you in Matthew chapter 24, starting in verse 15, that
Matthew 24 chapter mention
-
what the great day of the Lord is, is the
-
response to the abomination of desolation. This is why Psalm
-
2 plainly states what it states. The kings of the
-
earth elects whom you call the Antichrist. Once they do that,
-
God gets very ticked off and he coronates the Lord
-
Jesus Christ. And he comes here and triggers the Great Tribulation. So,
-
the Great Day of the Lord, the sixth hill event,
-
is in response to the abomination of desolation. So, you're
-
supposed to know all this stuff. You're supposed to know
-
that you're going to be protected between two events. The
-
three and a half years starts with the abomination of desolation.
-
That's the great day of the Lord. Three and a
-
half years later, because we have to finish the latter
-
half of Daniel's 70th week, ends with the return of
-
the Lord Jesus Christ. That's what this entire chapter says.
-
It has never said anything else. So when you know that,
-
when you're aware of what it says, I'm going to
-
read it. It's going to make sense to you now.
-
Because The church has been divided right down the aisle
-
like I talked about before. One side of the aisle
-
is dispensationalist, the other side of the aisle is preterist,
-
and neither one of them have a remote clue because
-
they have been convinced of cunningly devised fables by theologians
-
who were not born again. So, whichever side of the aisle...
-
you currently find yourself in this is what God says
-
is going to happen there's going to be a great
-
day of the Lord and he's going to relocate you
-
at this pillar of the presence it is that presence
-
that's going to completely sustain you for the full 1260
-
day duration of the great tribulation now how is this
-
different from the first time he done this Because the
-
children of God were rebellious, the effects of the pillar
-
of the presence were manifested upon their clothing. This is
-
plainly proven in Scripture. Plainly. The Bible redundantly says their
-
clothes did not wear out. Their sandals didn't even wear
-
out for 40 years. Now, During this time, during the
-
second exodus, the relocation, those will be manifested upon us
-
because we won't be rebellious. So take note. This is
-
why the Bible says during this time you'll be given
-
hind's feet like a deer. It says that you will
-
walk in high places. That's why. This is describing these
-
things will happen at the tabernacle of David. This is
-
the tabernacle of David. Right here. Right there in this picture,
-
that's the tabernacle of David. We are the temple of
-
the Holy Spirit. So anyway, so now that I've defined
-
that for you, take note that we're not going to
-
read about the first 14 verses of Matthew chapter 24.
Matthew 24 chapter mention
-
That's describing the birth pangs. The birth pangs are not
-
described here. These poor Christians had been told by their theologians,
-
that the day of the Lord had already occurred. So
-
that's what this chapter is doing. It's saying, no, no. Anyway,
-
let's go ahead and read it. So from the New
-
King James Version, if you prefer the KJV, it is
-
on the other side of the screen. The day of
-
the Lord. But concerning the times and seasons, brethren... You
-
have no need that I should write to you. For
-
you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord
-
comes as a thief in the night. So, stop the
-
bus right there. You are redundantly told in the word.
-
In the word. You will absolutely see the Lord Jesus
-
Christ coming in his divine procession once he has been
-
coronated at the seventh trumpet. It is at the seventh
-
trumpet that he takes those that are in the third heaven,
-
which the word loudly declares to be where paradise is at.
-
Those that are there are called those that sleep in Jesus.
-
They will receive their resurrection right then and there at
-
the seventh trumpet. Then the Lord Jesus Christ will exit
-
heaven and stampede across creation in his divine procession. He
-
himself tells you, oh, you're going to see me coming.
-
So what is hidden here, he's saying that what you
-
don't know when will happen is when this day will happen.
-
The arrival of the pillar of the presence. Praise God.
-
Praise God. Okay, so that's what he's talking about. So,
-
of course you're going to see the return of Christ.
-
This is talking about the day of the Lord. Okay,
-
verse 3. For when they say peace and safety, then
-
sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a
-
pregnant woman, and they shall not escape. But you, brethren,
-
are not in darkness, so that this day should overtake
-
you like a thief. For are all sons of light
-
and sons of the day. We are not of the
-
night nor of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep as
-
others do, but let us watch and be sober. For
-
those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk,
-
drunk at night. Who is it talking about? It's talking
-
about churchgoers that have not been born again. They have
-
not picked up their Christ. And denied their selves. Let
-
me say that again. They have not. Picked up their cross.
-
And denied their selves. This is plainly stated. In the word.
-
In the word. So. This is talking about the tares.
-
This is talking about the goats. This is talking about
-
the church goers. It's what it's talking about. So. Verse 8.
-
But let. us who are of the day be sober,
-
putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as
-
a helmet of hope of salvation. For God did not
-
appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our
-
Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we
-
awake or sleep, we should live together with him. So
-
take note, he just mentioned salvation. Where are those who
-
are asleep in Jesus? The word plainly states they're in paradise,
-
and paradise is in the third heaven. That's the word.
-
That's not a word from some theologian. That's the word
-
that was given to everybody. Let us continue. Therefore, comfort
-
each other and edify one another. just as you are doing.
-
Verse 12. And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those
-
who labor among you and are over you in the
-
Lord and admonish you. Okay, so here you go. This
-
is how you know the Lord shepherds and differentiate them
-
with the bad shepherds. The bad shepherds will tell you,
-
you don't have to repent. You don't have to deny yourself.
-
They'll tell you not to pick up your cross. They
-
will tell you to continue in your abominations. They will
-
tell you to continue fornicating. You can continue committing adultery
-
and enter heaven. They'll tell you to euthanize your parents
-
they'll tell you you can abort your babies they can
-
tell you all these things because they hate God they
-
hate God so they will convince you that you can
-
practice iniquity and enter the kingdom of heaven okay so
-
only hearken to the shepherds that tell you and admonish
-
you you must stop sinning you can't practice iniquity and
-
go to heaven Of course, those shepherds won't tell you
-
there's a preacher of rapture and the living will go
-
to heaven. The living don't go to heaven. Okay? So anyway,
-
that's why this is being a stark warning. Listen, hearken
-
only to those shepherds that admonish you. Let us continue.
-
and to esteem them very highly in love, for their
-
work's sake be at peace among yourselves. This is blatantly
-
telling you, warning you of the tares in your congregation,
-
of the goats in your congregation. They're churchgoers. It just
-
said that they are of the night. They're not of
-
the day. Verse 14. Now we exhort you, brethren, warn
-
those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak,
-
be patient with all. See that no one renders evil
-
for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good,
-
both for yourselves and for all. He's literally categorically telling
-
you here between verse 12 and verse 15, he's telling you, look,
-
these churchgoers are going to try to convince you you
-
have eternal security. And there's a sin based salvation. No. No.
-
He's telling you. Stay away from those church goers. You
-
that have been born again. Huddle together quietly. And show
-
respect to your clergy. That have been born again. These
-
things are true. Non-disputable. According to the word. Praise God.
-
The word. The word. Praise God. These things are true.
-
And together, what are we supposed to do quietly when
-
we're in the midst of these church building kill zones?
-
Verse 16, rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and everything give
-
thanks for this is the will of God in Christ
-
Jesus for you. Do not quench the spirit. Do not
-
despise prophecies. Test all things, hold fast to what is good,
-
abstain from every form of evil. The churchgoers are going
-
to make martyrs out of you. And you need to
-
know how to operate in their midst. He just told you.
-
He just told you. And he just told you which
-
clergy you're supposed to pay respect to. Those and only
-
those that have been born again. Okay, so now that
-
he said all this, he's literally explained to you. He
-
just explained to you in what condition you must be
-
in inside these church buildings in order to have the
-
angels come and gather you to the Lord's barn. Thus
-
saith the word. That's what the word says. The angels
-
are going to take you to God's barn. Not to heaven,
-
that's not what it says. It says, literally Jesus Christ says,
-
his angels will gather you to his barn and then
-
everybody else are going to get gathered up into bundles.
-
What are those bundles? They're all tied together with the
-
mark of the beast. This 666 they have engraved upon
-
their foreheads or their hands. That's the bundles. And the
-
angels take them and throw them into the outer darkness
-
for the duration of the tribulation, and they can't escape
-
the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. So, as this
-
is happening, now that we're in the right state, and
-
we realize what the day of the Lord is, what
-
happens after the day of the Lord? Come and see
-
what the Word says. This is what the Word says.
-
Verse 23, Now may the God of peace himself sanctify
-
you completely and may your whole spirit, soul, and body
-
be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
-
This is true. Everything else is just lies. Everything else
-
is lies. It is this pillar of the presence. It
-
will no longer exert power on your material things. It
-
will exert its effects. Here in Greek, it is spirit,
-
which is pneuma, soul, which is psyche, your mind, and pneuma,
-
your body. That's why it said this. Your whole spirit, soul,
-
and body will be given hind's feet. You'll be able
-
to walk in high places. That's how you will make
-
it to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise God.
-
This is true. Everything else is garbage. Everything else that
-
everybody believes on the right side of the church and
-
on the left side of the church is just theological myths.
-
Those are all theological myths. This is true. This is true. Okay. So,
-
verse 24. He who calls you is faithful and also
-
will do it. He's going to do this. Not some
-
pre-trip rapture. Okay? And this is how you're going to
-
make it to the millennial reign of Christ, the coming
-
of Christ. So this goes against all preterism. Yeah, there's
-
a millennial reign of Christ. Okay? This is what he's
-
going to do. Categorically, these first 23 verses, that's what's
-
going to happen. Everything else is cunningly devised fables that's
-
been invented by theologians. or theological myths okay so what
-
are we supposed to do for all of us that's
-
been born again that are trapped inside these church building
-
hill boxes how will we know the difference between churchgoers
-
in our congregations and those that have been born again.
-
Verse 25, brethren, pray for us. Greet all the brethren
-
with a holy kiss. I charge you by the Lord
-
that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren.
-
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. Okay,
-
so categorically you find here, there's no such thing as
-
free grace. These 28 verses categorically told you You don't
-
practice iniquity so that grace may abound. Nope. Another theological myth.
-
It's a theological myth. This is teaching you. I already
-
said that. This is teaching you how you can abound
-
in grace to make it through the birth pangs to
-
the great day of the Lord. And he just gave
-
you A secret handshake, didn't he? He gave you a
-
secret handshake. He said, I quote, greet all the reverend,
-
not churchgoers. Churchgoers aren't carrying their cross. They're very easy
-
to identify. They're normally very wealthy and they normally have
-
great abundance of retirement resources. And they invariably take expensive vacations.
-
But anyway, you need to understand, those of us that
-
are the brethren, we are commanded in this grace to
-
give each other a kiss physically whenever we get into
-
contact with each other. Now, prophetically, he's saying a great
-
deal here. You've already been told that we that have
-
been born again should lay our hands on one another.
-
You need to understand what is going on here. Well,
-
I've said enough about that. Now you have the keys
-
to navigate the birth pangs. I'm going to say this again.
-
The birth pangs are the first 14 verses of Matthew 24.
-
According to the Word, praise God. So I need to
-
rest my voice. And at this point, let's see if
-
I can get back here. How do I do that?
-
How do I stop? OK, stop presenting.
-
OK.
-
Back to me, I hope. Hope everything is working well. Boy,
-
I'm just not used to doing this. I haven't done
-
this in years, have I? So is there any questions
-
or comments? Can somebody talk while I rest my voice?
-
Or maybe I can pick on somebody. Who would like
-
to be picked on? Or we can end it right there,
-
of course, if we've ran our course. John, what say you?
-
You're not busy. You're sitting down somewhere. What's up? Okay.
-
I'm back. Yeah, I'm here. I'm sorry. Here, listen. No problem.
-
What did you think of that message?
-
Give me just a minute. I'm sorry.
-
Hang on. All right. Hmm. Somebody leave the chat room?
-
I guess I scared them. They thought I would pick
-
on them, so they left. That ain't good. Anyway, ladies
-
and gentlemen, 1 Thessalonians chapter 5. That's what's going to happen.
1 Thessalonians 5 chapter mention
-
The precursor to that, of course, is the birth pangs. So,
-
just a heads up, what's coming down the barrel, we're
-
probably getting very close to it now. All right, well.
-
Maybe we should just end it right there. No, I'm sorry.
-
I'm back. It takes forever to get somewhere.
-
Yep.
-
Oh, now that all that confused us. I'm sorry. What
-
was the question again?
-
I said, what did you think about 1 Thessalonians 5?
-
Did you realize that that's the pattern right there, how
-
to navigate through the churchgoers? Did you know that? Well, yeah,
-
that that falls with me. And then it's the.
-
It's it's those they put you in the synagogues, discourage you.
-
They it's all these things that make sense for it's
-
not lefties and all these other people. I mean, the
-
other everybody's hating each other. But I mean, it's like
-
the calls coming from inside the house, you know, it's
-
your brothers. And like he says, I mean, Hans says
-
it himself. I didn't come to, like, come to kind
-
of divide. I'm pitting people against each other, you know.
-
You're going to stand on this dividing line or not,
-
you know.
-
Right.
-
And that's just how it is. When you read it,
-
like you always say, plain text reading. When I read it,
-
that's what I get is, hey, you're not going to be.
-
Christian enough to a group, and they're going to do
-
bad things to you. But not only that, it says,
-
but don't think for what you're going to say, because
-
he's going to put it into you what to say.
-
But that's the main thing. Like you said, learn to
-
settle your tongue. If you can't settle your tongue, how
-
can you hear? So you have to settle so you
-
can hear.
-
That's right. Yep. You have to calm your spirit. You
-
have to learn how to be calm. And it's plainly
-
telling you that your calmness will be magnified by close
-
proximity to other people who are carrying their crosses. Together,
-
you will be able to network your spirit, you'll be
-
able to network the Holy Spirit, and achieve greater strength
-
to do that. Unfortunately here, it is prophetically hinting at
-
the simple fact that the born-again clergy members will not
-
be able to avoid what is coming. And we know
-
that historically. Whenever the church is persecuted in foreign communist countries,
-
of course the number one target is the leader of
-
that congregation. That's just historically the fact. So it's amazing
-
to me that most people don't realize that This is
-
the number one chapter to figure out how to navigate
-
the birth pangs. This is the number one chapter to
-
do it. He tells you everything you need to know
-
right here. So, just the cross-references embedded in the Greek
-
in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 is just... It's beyond remarkable.
1 Thessalonians 5 chapter mention
-
It's beyond remarkable. So... All right, if there is no
-
other questions or comments, I guess we'll end it there
-
because I preach the fire out of them. That's for sure.
-
So if there's no more questions or comments, we'll end it.
-
Going once. Going twice. All right, going three times. Heads up.
-
The Brian and I may do a live stream On
-
the bands of time, we'll do an in-time tribune. If
-
he's well enough to do it. We already tried once
-
and that failed because he got sick. So be in
-
prayer for Brian Ingram. We're going to try to do that.
-
Until next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless. Godspeed.
