  1. Do you know the Bible is God's Holy Word? Do

  2. you know it is inspired, in errant, and infallible? If so, like, share,

  3. subscribe and support this podcast. So we are Maranatha Ministries

  4. and now Redemption draweth nigh. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome

  5. to the program. We are your host, Hose and Matthew.

  6. Tonight we once again dive into the Greek of the

  7. twelve prophets. Tonight we are landing in the Hoseah chapter

  8. seven for the majority, well not for the majority. Jose

  9. is going to take the lead on this. He's going

  10. to take the reins, and I'm gonna jump in the

  11. rumble seat. Now. Of course I will be throwing in there,

  12. but I'll be perfectly honest with you. With the events

  13. of today, I probably need to try to bite my

  14. tongue because something happened today that, to be perfectly honest

  15. with everybody, I never thought I would live to see

  16. actually done. Yeah, I need to stop right there. Jose,

  17. you're opening comments on Hosea chapter seven place.

  18. Matthew, obviously you know where we're going through the profits.

  19. To see their profits.

  20. Right.

  21. So, God here is showing us what is.

  22. To come and it's our job to not only read

  23. this at the historical book and not only to read

  24. this at the oh, you know, to get some theology

  25. out of it, right of what God.

  26. Wanted to do, Matthew.

  27. But we're supposed to read this prophetically to see what

  28. is to come. That's the whole purpose that God even

  29. left it here.

  30. There's plenty of.

  31. Other books that cover what Hosea covers, you know, as

  32. far as how we're supposed to act, you know, the

  33. commandments we're supposed to follow, the spirit of the law,

  34. or the beattitudes that we're supposed to follow, the testimony.

  35. I mean, we can get that and every other book

  36. in the Bible, Matthew. So, so why is Hosea specifically here?

  37. What is hose showing us to what had to come?

  38. And Matthew, as I kept.

  39. Writing to this chapter, I just I just kept seeing

  40. the flares.

  41. Up pop off of the false prophet, the false prophet.

  42. How is he going to enter into the church, Matthew,

  43. How is he going to set up the abomination desolation.

  44. In the Holy Place? How is this going to happen?

  45. You know, this is just what I just I kept

  46. seeing it.

  47. I read through the chapter uh, you know, and and

  48. of course that that picked it.

  49. Everywhere in the Bible, there's plenty of places to correlate.

  50. The data and and and and you know, cross check

  51. everything that's being dead here in Odia. And so that

  52. that's what I focused on, Matthew, as that was even

  53. this chapter.

  54. Well, I'll be honest with you, I've I've read this

  55. chapter so many times. I couldn't even begin to tell

  56. you which way I first approached it. The only thing

  57. I knew was was that this was true. And I

  58. might not understand it was true, but that was completely

  59. and absolutely irrelevant. And of course when when when I

  60. was a boy being raised in the church, that was

  61. probably ninety five percent of it, right, Jose, I mean

  62. I really didn't yet. I mean I understand the easy

  63. stuff like, Okay, thou shalt not merk. Okay, let's go

  64. get a dictionary, let's look up murder, what's murder? But

  65. when you get to the prophetic narrative, and especially the

  66. twelve profits, you God is using twelve different profits from

  67. twelve different time periods to relate to you a singular

  68. message with perfect clarity. That's what he's doing. So you

  69. know this usually takes people by surprise. Everybody needs to

  70. consider this right now, because when I was growing up,

  71. I was never told that this was the minor profits.

  72. I was never told that. I never heard that. I

  73. didn't hear that until I got into an institution of

  74. higher learning and I was. I was offended then, and

  75. I'm offended now. For one, does everybody know that Jose

  76. is longer than Daniel? Yes it is, Yes it is.

  77. So that's the way I've always come at this is

  78. some of the things stated here, And I'm just going

  79. to pick one out of the hat, verse seven. I

  80. remember verse seven because it's the first time I realized

  81. the depth of their depravity. I realized when you how

  82. many verses line up with just verse seven, murderously diabolical

  83. is where well, what is their main term? Their main

  84. term in the Bible? Their main title is the children

  85. of Israel, right right, And they went as low as

  86. you can go. So that's how I've always approached it,

  87. is that this is a series of facts that I

  88. don't understand. So I have continually my entire life went

  89. through this and went through this, and went through this

  90. to try to figure out how else is true? Because,

  91. for one, thing. No one understands this, Jose. When God speaks,

  92. what comes out of his mouth was spoken craft was spoken, past,

  93. present in future. Most people don't even accept that, but

  94. it's true. So that's my opening thoughts on it. I'm

  95. just remembering back to when I was a child and

  96. reading this, probably for the first time, and scared of it,

  97. looking at it like it was a well you've looked

  98. at a calculus book before, having je Jose, Yeah, just great,

  99. big equations. It's just numbers. That's how I looked at it,

  100. and to be honest with you, that's how I still

  101. look at it. So anyway, that's my opening comments on it.

  102. Back to you.

  103. All right, well, Matthew, we can jump in. Would you

  104. like to read this chapter for us? And then I'll

  105. start sharing what would I have for everybody?

  106. Wow? Would I like to read this?

  107. Check?

  108. You know.

  109. What?

  110. I probably fairly will say that there's nothing I'd rather

  111. do than read this character. Actually, So tonight, ladies and gentlemen,

  112. we are going to be reading from the lea some

  113. English septuagen. I've said this before and I will say

  114. it again. Uh, this is the absolute best translation of

  115. the septuagen that I can get my hands on absolutely amazing.

  116. So we're going to talk. Take it right from the top.

  117. I was chapter seven and verse one, And the injustice

  118. of Ephrium will be uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria

  119. because they worked falsely, And a thief will enter toward him,

  120. a robber, stripping him on the way, in order that

  121. they may sing together, as singing in their heart all

  122. their wickedness, I remembered. Now their councils have encircled them.

  123. They have come off a sit in my face. By

  124. their wicked acts. They cheered kings and rulers and their lives.

  125. All are committing adultery, like an oven being lit for

  126. the cooking of the burning from flame, from mixing the

  127. dough until it is leavened, as for the days of

  128. your kings. The rulers began to be angry for wine.

  129. He stretched out his hand with flags, because their hearts

  130. were lit up like an oven. When they broke in pieces.

  131. Efriam was the whole night of sleep. In the morning

  132. they were born, he was lit up like a light

  133. of fire. All were warm like an oven. And they

  134. ate their judges. All their kings fell. There was not

  135. one among them who was calling to me. Ephrim was

  136. mingling with his peoples. Ephriim was a cake baked the

  137. ashes that was not turned over. Foreigners ate his strength,

  138. but he has not learned, and gray hairs flourished for him,

  139. and he did not know it. For the pride of

  140. Israel will be made glow to his face. Yet they

  141. did not return to their Lord, their god, and they

  142. did not seek him in all these things. And Efrim

  143. was like a selling digeon, not having heart. Egypt used

  144. to be called upon, and they went to Assyria. Whenever

  145. they go, I will throw my necks upon them, as

  146. the birds of the heavens. I will w them down.

  147. I will rear them in the sound of their affliction.

  148. Lot to them, because they have turned away from me.

  149. They are wretched, because they have acted impiously toward me.

  150. But I ransomed them. But they have spoken lies against me,

  151. and their hearts did not quite to me. Rather, they

  152. howled in their beds. They used to gnash themselves for

  153. corn and wine. They were taught by me, and I

  154. strengthened their arms, and they divide evil against me. They

  155. turned back to nothing. They become like a bent bow.

  156. Their rulers will fall by the sword on account of

  157. lack of control over their tongue. This will be the

  158. contempt of them in the land of Egypt.

  159. That's good stuff, Matthew.

  160. Oh boy, God can't be more clear about what's going

  161. on here, Matthew, about what he and tends to do.

  162. You can just hear he's fed up with it all

  163. and he's ready to tear it all down. That's that's

  164. what precipitates the day of the Lord, right, the great

  165. day and terrible day of the Lord. Before we start

  166. digging in, Matthew, I want to read from Matthew twenty four,

  167. verses twenty three through twenty five, and this was kind

  168. of what led me on the path where when I

  169. started studying this chapter until verse twenty three, then if

  170. anyone says to you, look, here is the Christ or

  171. there do not believe it, for false Christ and false

  172. prophets will rise and show great signed in wonders to deced,

  173. if possible, even the elect thee I have told you beforehand.

  174. So we're gonna actually coming back to Matthew chapter twenty four.

  175. But that when I read that part of it, Matthew,

  176. that just to me matched what I see that's going

  177. on here in Hodea.

  178. The first thing I want to jump did to Matthew.

  179. Is that name s Rayen, you know when you look

  180. it up at H six six nine in the Hebrew.

  181. But it gives a couple of definitions as double ass

  182. sheep or doublely fruitful. And that name always confused me

  183. because one sounds so good and one sounds so bad.

  184. You know, how can God put put the same thing

  185. in one name?

  186. You know, why? Why? Why do that? But when you

  187. read this chapter, Matthew, I mean, it's what we're always told.

  188. Right, you have the decision whether to do what is

  189. right or do what is wrong, and you do what

  190. is right, and you're going to be fruitful that when

  191. you follow the fruits of the spirit. We already told

  192. the lessons we're gonna get, Matthew. We already told our

  193. rewards where that our treasures light up in heaven. Right.

  194. But when we don't do, when we don't do what

  195. it's supposed to we're supposed to do, Matthew, when we

  196. you know.

  197. Gnash and fight against what God wants us to do,

  198. we choose to do our will and not His will,

  199. then we get that double sheet Matthew. And God's very

  200. clear with us. He lays it out. You know, do

  201. what is right and everything will be good. If you don't,

  202. then you're gonna have to pay the consequences.

  203. You know. He doesn't. He doesn't mince words, Matthew, he doesn't.

  204. You know, he's not shriaky with what he's telling us.

  205. He's asking us to choose that at double ash sheet

  206. or to be double's fruitful.

  207. And it's our toy, Matthew, And that point.

  208. And that's a stone cold truth, isn't it. Yes, that

  209. is a stone cold truth. I can't help but remember that.

  210. Earlier this afternoon, Rachel and I did Romans chapter nine,

  211. and it really is that simple, It really is. It's

  212. it's not difficult, it's not hard. And you know, him

  213. bringing up and Samaria, he's doing this for a reason.

  214. The chief tribe in Israel was Ephriam. Why, the first

  215. king that took over those ten tribes was from the

  216. tribe of Ephrim, and they made their capital Samaria. So

  217. he is unequivocably telling you this is your rulers. He

  218. doesn't mean anything else. This is sorely and squarely directed

  219. at what we call clergy Jose, you don't, ye, ladist

  220. and gentlemen, you don't have to appreciate it. I'm not

  221. even suggesting you appreciate it. But you better believe it.

  222. You better believe it. And oh my goodness, the things

  223. that he talks about here are true. Let me just

  224. say this. I'm getting ready to tell you a true statement.

  225. This is true. The Lord, my God provoked me one time.

  226. Don't know why at the time, but I had a

  227. clear impression from the Holy Spirit. Now, did the Holy

  228. Spirit tap me on the shoulder? Did I hear an

  229. audible voice?

  230. No?

  231. He has filled me with the Holy Spirit, and that's

  232. what guides me, leads me, directs me, and protects me.

  233. And he just said, you better find out where your

  234. money's going. Now, Jose, let's just be clear, just so

  235. you know. I've always paid my tithe, always for him.

  236. But for some reason, God was telling me, you better

  237. see where my tithe went. So I inquire, go to

  238. the church office, YadA, YadA, YadA, YadA. Was turned away.

  239. Oh we have to find all that information, right, Okay,

  240. So finally the district gives the authorization to give that

  241. information out anyway. To make a long story short, I investigated.

  242. I investigated, and guess what what churches will do is

  243. they will send their ties to other places. That is

  244. to say, let's say a mission and there's a real

  245. big one. Okay. At Christmas time, a lot of churches

  246. will send money for the Christmas shoe boxes. There was

  247. one organization we were sending money to my tie who's

  248. going to and come to find out they were just

  249. a aggregate five on one C three that turn around

  250. and sent that ties to other places. Guess where my

  251. tithes money was going. A portion of my tie money

  252. was going to plan parenthood, to abort babies. That's a fact.

  253. So you need to understand in here he is telling

  254. you exactly what the Kings of Israel was going to

  255. do illicitly, what the Bible tells you in other versus,

  256. most notably second Kings comes right out and tells you that, yeah,

  257. the Kings of Israel was taking money and giving it

  258. to Egypt and Assyria. Yes they were hus they were.

  259. So I'm just telling you all right now you better

  260. figure out where your tithe money's going, because it does

  261. not belong at the district, it does not belong in Samaria.

  262. And I'm going to tell you this clean. I'm going

  263. to tell you this true. Your tithe money had better

  264. be going to evangelize your city and the children in

  265. your city, and help the homeless in your city, and

  266. feed the hungry in your city, and help the elderly

  267. in your city. You better not let f Raim send

  268. it to Samaria. I'm just telling you, just telling you,

  269. point blank, you better not let your tithe money be

  270. sent somewhere else. Maybe I shouldn't went that far, Jose back.

  271. To you, all right, Well, Matthew, I think you kind

  272. of hit on the point that that I was looking at, right,

  273. f Rahim was that physical separation, right, They separated themselves

  274. from the other two tribes. They established their own pre

  275. worship apart from the Temple of the Lord. Right, frame

  276. didn't want their people going down to Jerusalem the worship.

  277. They've set up their own thing.

  278. But we're told that what's going to happen, you know,

  279. and Jesus himself tells us what's going to happen. Fraim

  280. is going to do that in the very Temple of

  281. the Lord, in the body of Christ, and in in

  282. the sheep, in the sheep polled. He's going to set

  283. up this abomination of desolation. He's going to enter in

  284. there and do that, Matthew. And so you know, like

  285. you said, the Lord chases after after what has been.

  286. You've repeated that over and over what ecclesiastic Ecclesiastes tells us,

  287. So we should see something similar to what happened to

  288. Frame in the past, is what's going to happen to

  289. to the to the Church, to the Church body, you know,

  290. in in in the end times, right in the days

  291. that are to come, Matthew, during the first pain.

  292. And so when I read right there in Hosea where.

  293. It says a thief will enter toward him, that to

  294. me just screams out the false prophet, that just screams

  295. out this, this spiritual idology that's going to enter Right

  296. Egypt represents the pleasures of the earth, Matthew, but at

  297. Syria represents that spiritual idology that's going to come in

  298. to the Church, that's coming to come in and you know, pollute,

  299. pollute the body of Christ. That that's that's the only

  300. way I can paint it, Matthew. And when it comes

  301. to this false prophet, the chapter that I go to

  302. over and over Matthew, is the Second Peter chapter two.

  303. So I'm gonna jump over there and and we're gonna

  304. read a little bit of that. I'm gonna read just

  305. read the first three verses for us, Second Peter chapter two,

  306. and I'm reading out of the New Team, James. But

  307. there were also false prophets among the people, even as

  308. that will, there will be false teachers among you who

  309. will secretly bring in destructive heritage, even denying the Lord

  310. who bought them, and.

  311. Bring on themselves swift destruction.

  312. And many will follow their destructive ways because of whom

  313. the way of truth will be blasting like covetousness. They

  314. will exploit you with deceptive words for a long time.

  315. Their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does

  316. not slumber.

  317. So I mean you, you, you lady. But caught me

  318. here on this one, Matthew. Where God said, even denying

  319. the Lord who.

  320. Bought them, right, He's he's already redeemed these false prophets.

  321. But they're turning against that, Matthew. They're they're turning their

  322. back on it.

  323. Right. So this is not this is again, this is

  324. clergy that should know better, Matthew. This is clergy that's

  325. been raised in the.

  326. Church, clergy that knows about God, about Jesus, about the

  327. Holy Spirit. And they're rejecting all that because they're false prophets.

  328. And and and when we read a little bit more

  329. out of Second Peter chapter two, we're going to see

  330. why they do it. But that's who they are, Matthew,

  331. this is not you know, I think when I read

  332. this in the past, when I was younger, I would

  333. I would imagine.

  334. You know, it being.

  335. Ungodly people, that it being you know, some kind of

  336. atheist or some kind of you know, Eastern religion that

  337. would come in.

  338. But but no, Matthew, these are.

  339. People who are raised Christian, who know the Bible, who

  340. understand what God has promised, and yet they're still turning

  341. their back Matthew on God.

  342. In spite that they do it. Yes, yeah, this this isn't.

  343. And how many people have you heard say that the

  344. anti Christ is going to be some new ager that

  345. just pumps all the religions together, right right?

  346. Yes?

  347. No, no, no, he's key. He is going to be

  348. one of Satan chepd. Now Ezekiel calls them bad shepherds,

  349. but whatever, right, I mean, as far as I'm concerned

  350. they're Satan shepherds and they're being supported by the entirety

  351. of the corrupt clergy. So yeah, you're absolutely hitting the

  352. nail on the head. These false prophets aren't from without,

  353. they're from within.

  354. Right right. Yeah.

  355. In verse twenty, I'm bringing right here from tewod Peter Matthew,

  356. it said, for if after they had escaped the pollutions

  357. of the world through knowledge of the Lord and Savior

  358. Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome

  359. the latter end, it's worse for them than the beginning.

  360. For it would have been better for them not to

  361. have known the way of righteous than having known it,

  362. to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.

  363. Matthew, exactly what you're talking about right now.

  364. It would have been better for them not to be born.

  365. Amen.

  366. Amen, it would have been better for them not to

  367. be born.

  368. So I think I remember hearing that in the Book

  369. of Joe. Matthew.

  370. Yeah, you might be right, of course.

  371. Yeah.

  372. You know, you can't really separate that chapter from the

  373. Book of Joe. You can't really separate it. It's really

  374. a reiteration of itself. But you know, it's imperative that

  375. everybody realizes that. That's why he's opening this up in

  376. this way. He's letting you know he's not talking about

  377. the sheep, right, he is talking about the clergy. He

  378. is talking about the rulers here, no doubt about it.

  379. I mean, I know, I mentioned let me talk about

  380. this first, you know, Jose, something stands out right here,

  381. and I have to bring it up. You know, when

  382. you study this chapter, if you're a true Biblicist, you'll

  383. tear this thing apart. And one of the very first

  384. things that I remember doing, I'm like, wait a minute,

  385. God's got to be talking about this, this, this oven

  386. and this leaven, and they're like a really hot, hot oven.

  387. He's got to talk about that somewhere else. Yes, what, Jose, No,

  388. they don't, No, he don't. Those ideas are exclusive to

  389. this very chapter verse four. All are committing adultery like

  390. an oven being lit for the cooking of the burning

  391. from the flame, from mixing of gough until it is

  392. leveled HM. That that idea of this Their hearts are

  393. burning like a hot oven that is exclusive to this chapter,

  394. that's exclusive to this right here. So that alone should

  395. get your attention if if you're a Biblicist.

  396. All right, so.

  397. Well can I can I take you and tell you

  398. where that took me, Matthew, that oven and that bacon there,

  399. sure that that took me to the Genesis forty verse five.

  400. The cup there and the baker.

  401. We know in that.

  402. Story, right, the story of Joseph in prison, and he's

  403. telling you he's interpreting the dreams for the cup bear,

  404. for the King's cup bear in the in the in

  405. the King's baker. Right, and yep, one is restored and

  406. one loses his head, Matthew, because of because of his punishment. Right,

  407. one has the cut bear has his head lifted up,

  408. and the baker has his head lifted off.

  409. That's right, It's exactly right. So I mean you know, yeah, yeah,

  410. that's where it took me.

  411. And of course you know that when I when I

  412. see that, Matthew, I mean that that immediately screams to me.

  413. The two groups that we you know, see in the

  414. book Revelation, those that are taking up the mountains ion

  415. to be with the Lord, and uh, you know, those

  416. that have to stay and and and suffer through the

  417. great tribulation and ultimately lose their head in order to

  418. to remain in the kingdom, otherwise they will worship the beast.

  419. Matthew.

  420. So, uh, yeah, I know there's a whole lot more

  421. about talking about with this oven, but that that's just

  422. where it took me.

  423. You know, it says a whole lot you what do

  424. you make a verse? Oh? Well, I want to be

  425. very careful here. Mm hmmm. Oh my goodness. This is uh,

  426. this is good. What do you make of verse six?

  427. Wow? Because their hearts were lit up like an oven

  428. when they broke in pieces. F Brien was sated the

  429. whole night of sleep.

  430. In the morning they were born, he was lit up

  431. like a light of fire.

  432. I don't know, Matthew, I'll be honest with you. I

  433. don't know. I did not look into this verse because

  434. there's a whole lot going on here in this verse.

  435. Well, you're you're you're right about that. There's a whole

  436. lot going on in this verse, A whole lot. You

  437. know that. That's an interesting way for you to put that,

  438. a whole lot going on in this verse. Well, first off,

  439. you know this, this word we're born here is gen

  440. ninety six denom it needs cost to be to generate.

  441. We've talked about that word before, right, right, we've talked

  442. about it before, and prophetically it just uh, you know,

  443. how far do I want to go? Do I even

  444. want to go there? Do I want to preach about it?

  445. I mean that that's the real thing. Do I even

  446. want to preach about it? That earning the end times?

  447. You all need to know this, that there is a

  448. thread through the Bible prophecy called the Slaughter of the Shepherds, right, Jose, Yeah, Now,

  449. make no mistake, ladies and gentlemen, is that the Lord

  450. Jesus Christ as a couple of different titles, and you

  451. need to understand that. Well, that's that's for a pretty

  452. good reason. But I'm going to read something to you,

  453. and you need to understand what's going on. This is

  454. the opposite of what is going on in Revelation chapter fourteen.

  455. Hey there, Jesus Christ is the first born from the womb. Right,

  456. he is the firstborn from the womb. He is the

  457. final atom. Correct, Yeah, it is because he perfected what

  458. Adam could not. Is how we get salvation. We are

  459. all dead to God in Adam sin we are all

  460. born to life through Jesus Christ, innocent. Correct, we know

  461. this the problem is is that I'll just do Colossians one,

  462. verse eighteen, and he is the head of the body

  463. the church, who is the beginning, the first born from

  464. the dead, that in all things he may have pre eminence.

  465. I'll also read Revelation chapter one, verse five, and from

  466. Jesus Christ, faithful witness, I was born from the dead

  467. and the ruler over the kings of years, to him

  468. who loved us and washed us from our sins in

  469. his own blood. So everybody needs to understand this, that

  470. the slaughter of the Shepherd is going to happen. And

  471. if you didn't know that a group of people is

  472. going to be sealed by God to go through the

  473. tribulation as sacrifices, well I'm sorry you didn't know that

  474. until right now, because you can go to Revelation chapter twenty,

  475. verse four, and it unequivocably states as such. It unequivocably

  476. states as much. Let me jump over there really quickly.

  477. One of this ministries made in stays, I would have

  478. to say, is this little portion of scripture right here.

  479. Who is Christ the first born from the dead? Of

  480. who were the other people who have died in Christ?

  481. Now take notes I've told you this many times. In

  482. the Bible, it plainly states there are those who are

  483. asleep in Jesus, and in the same verses it also

  484. has another group, the dead in Christ. Yes it does, Yes,

  485. it does. This is going to tell you about the

  486. dead in Christ. And I saw thrones, and they that

  487. sat on them. A judgment was committed to them. And

  488. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded

  489. for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God,

  490. who had not worshiped the Beast or his image, and

  491. had not received His mark on their foreheads or on

  492. their hands. And they lived reigned with Christ for a

  493. thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not

  494. live again until the thousand years were finished. This is

  495. the first Resurrection. Blessed and holy is he as part

  496. of the first Resurrection. Over such the second death has

  497. no power. But they will shall be priest of God

  498. and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

  499. This is who he is, the firstborn from the dead.

  500. Of what I am telling you is true. This is true.

  501. This is a true statement. Jose your thoughts.

  502. Yeah, I'm Matthew.

  503. You know what, when you read that It makes for

  504. six that much clearer they are going to get broken

  505. in the people right that that you're you're, you're We're

  506. told that about the martyrs, We're told that about the

  507. bad Shepherd. You know, we're we're Jesus themselves told us

  508. that that's gonna happen to us. But prophetically, you know,

  509. this is what, this is what those that that have

  510. to go through the Great Tipulation they have to deal with, Matthew.

  511. They have to hold to the to the Commandments, into

  512. the testimony and ultimately be broken in pieces. And then

  513. we're told what happens when when they're part of that

  514. first direction, we're told that they're gonna roll and ring

  515. with Christ for its for that thousand years. So wow,

  516. like I said, so much backed into that verse, Matthew, Yeah.

  517. So much. Packages you know, I better get everybody, give

  518. everybody context, ladies and gentlemen. There is coming a tribulation.

  519. Trigger it is coming. The tribulation will eventually start. Now

  520. this creates a cutoff point in time because inside of

  521. time Rist is going to execute his second advent. There's

  522. only two advents Jose at the end of the tribulation

  523. and at the beginning of the millennial reign. So what

  524. happens to those who died during this time period? Because

  525. Revelation chapter twenty just told us that they're not going

  526. to paradise. Those people who die before the tribulation trigger.

  527. They are called those who are asleep in Jesus, and

  528. they return with Christ. Yes they do. I'll prove it

  529. to you. You need to write this down. Write down

  530. those who sleep in Jesus. That's one group, and that

  531. group is before then you have those who are dead

  532. in Christ. Which are those actor Listen one Thesalonians chapter four,

  533. starting in verse thirteen. But I do not want you

  534. to be ignorant, brethren concerning those who have fallen asleep,

  535. lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For

  536. if we believe that Geesus died and rose again, even

  537. so he will bring with him those who sleep in Jesus.

  538. For this we say to you by the word of

  539. the Lord, that we who are alive then remain until

  540. the coming of the Lord, will by no means proceed

  541. those who are asleep, For the Lord himself will descend

  542. from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel,

  543. and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in

  544. Christ will rise first. The dead in Christ are not

  545. I repeat, they are not those who are asleep in Jesus.

  546. You better check the Greek in these verses to completely

  547. different groups or seventeen. Then we who are alive and

  548. remain shall be caught up together with them in the

  549. clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus

  550. we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore, comfort one

  551. another with these words. If you didn't know that until

  552. right now, there's only one explanation for it. Because you

  553. didn't believe it. It was irrelevant that you understood it.

  554. What was fairmount was that you believed it. I just

  555. proved to you it was just a series of chapters, right, Jose.

  556. I just proved it with a series of chapters.

  557. Yep.

  558. And everybody better figure this out. If you're a part

  559. of the clergy, and I don't care what part you play,

  560. I don't care.

  561. If you're a.

  562. Pastor, I don't care if you're a board member, I

  563. don't care if you're the church secretary, you better figure

  564. this out. If you aren't right with God the Son,

  565. I suggest you resign and get in the rumble seat

  566. until you figure it out. Because the Lord he is God,

  567. and by God, he's coming. And you know what Hose

  568. chapter seven says. He says he's going to get in

  569. your face. Are all you church secretaries nervous because you

  570. know where you have sent the sheep's tithe? So I'm

  571. here to tell you have a chance right now to

  572. enter into the flock. Just resign your position and reserve

  573. yourself a place among the pews. Don't get up anymore,

  574. don't stand up in authority, because the Lord he's God,

  575. and he's coming now. Oaiah chapter seven uses really figurative

  576. language to say all this. But oh my goodness, when

  577. you're a biblicator, when you have saturated your psyche with scripture,

  578. then you can see it plain as day. No magnifying

  579. glasses required, no telescope, this was required, No eyeglasses are required.

  580. It is apparent what he's going to do. And this

  581. right here, he's made himself sickly clear. You think that

  582. the Lord Jesus Christ is going to come back and

  583. smash everybody in the other denominations, right, Jose, right, yep.

  584. I'm here to tell you the sheep are safe, and

  585. the sheep were always going to be taken care of.

  586. They will have to make their own decisions. But I'm

  587. here to tell you, if you're in the clergy, you

  588. God don't give a flying writ if you know he's

  589. coming or not. He don't care. Now, everything he said

  590. is going to come true, whether you believe it or not,

  591. and you better get on his page.

  592. That's yeah.

  593. I want to jump back to second Peter too real

  594. quick and share a few more verses, Verses twelve through fourteen,

  595. and again that's talking about those bad shepherds, those false prophets.

  596. But these like natural brute beasts made to be caught

  597. and destroyed, be evil of the things they do not understand,

  598. and will utterly perish in their own corruption. And we'll see,

  599. will receive the wages of unrighteousness. And those who count

  600. it pleasure to corrals in the daytime, they are spots

  601. and blemishes, corrousing in their own deception while they feast

  602. with you, having eyes full of adult tree that cannot

  603. cease from thin, enticing unstable soul. They have a heart

  604. trained and colstave practices in our cursed children.

  605. Now, madam, when I saw that word, that.

  606. Last word there for children, of course, you know that

  607. that sept off my radar and I had to look

  608. it up and it's g five zero four three four three,

  609. and it's it's a Greek, it's techna.

  610. But we we are more familiar with that term.

  611. Matthew, when we talk about the Technon Epigelia, it's children

  612. the promise. So again, like like we're saying before, these

  613. are not outsiders, Matthew. These are people that are part

  614. of the Technon and are choosing to chase after their

  615. own stins, to choosing to chase after their own flesh,

  616. their own desires.

  617. And bringing everybody else around them down with them. Matthew.

  618. It's it's just God just laid it, lays it out

  619. plainly where this corruption starts, and and and it makes sense, Matthew.

  620. If you're an enemy, you're you're going to try to

  621. get into the heart of, you know, of the of

  622. your enemy enemy defenses. You you're going to try to

  623. penetrate their defenses and and start start the trouble, start

  624. the warfare in their own camp. You know, if you're

  625. if you just set outside their defenses, then you're gonna

  626. get picked apart, Matthew. But if you can get in

  627. and you can, oh, you can steal, you can kill

  628. and destroy from within. Matthew. It just it's it just

  629. makes sense. That's what the enemy is going to try

  630. to do.

  631. Y you know, Jose, I've spiritually speaking, I would say

  632. this is probably the worst day of my honest what

  633. just came out of your mouth happened this very day

  634. in the pulpit, this very day. Jose, do you feel

  635. like it would be out of line if I read

  636. on air what was said today in the pulpit And

  637. I'm not going to tell you what church it was

  638. or any of that, But do you think I should

  639. or shouldn't Jose?

  640. I think we didn't know. Let people know what's coming. Matthew.

  641. I think it's important.

  642. Okay, this is the first Sunday in May, right, so

  643. I'm just going to step on the limb here. Most

  644. churches today had communion. Most churches had today. And this

  645. is what was said in a church in the West.

  646. This was said in a church in English. This really

  647. happened today. It really did happen today on Sunday, May

  648. the fourth, twenty twenty five. I quote, I am God's

  649. intermediary to you. I stand before God and represent him

  650. to you and in return, throughout the rest of the week,

  651. I stand between you and God, and I'm your intermediary,

  652. and I represent you to God on a regular basis.

  653. End of quote. Jose, give me one word definition for that.

  654. Yep, black sphemy, Matthew.

  655. And speaking evil things like what thee computer chepterty said?

  656. That's glasshoming, ladies and gentlemen.

  657. The New Testament repeatedly tells you that it is the

  658. Lord Jesus Christ resurrected as God, the son that stands

  659. at the right hand of God and is our intermediary

  660. and the propitiation for our sins. If you say otherwise,

  661. you are a hurricane. This joker just claimed to be

  662. the Lamb of God. He claimed could be God's intermediary.

  663. She even said that he represents you. And not only that,

  664. he said he represents God to you, ladies and gentlemen.

  665. This is coming straight out of Daniel chapter eleven. Yes

  666. it is. This is blasphemy. This is literally Daniel chapter eleven.

  667. That's exactly what is said of the little Horn. Yes

  668. it is. And you know what, he's even more astounding.

  669. These verses are no secret. They're just no secret. It's

  670. no secret. Daniel eleven verse the thirty seven. He shall

  671. regard neither of the lot of his father's nor the

  672. desired women, nor regard any God, for he shall insult

  673. himself above them all. If you are saying you represent

  674. God to God's congregation, you're a heretic. You are not

  675. the Lord Jesus Christ. And what blew me away? And

  676. ladies and gentlemen, it was not me who encountered us.

  677. This came from somebody else, and they brought it to

  678. my attention. Nobody done nothing. They all sat there in silence.

  679. You thought that, you know, it was cute that jose

  680. was reading from the Second Peter chapter two, and that

  681. was talking about somebody else, somewhere else, somebody speaking a

  682. different language, obviously not your denomination. Anybody anywhere else said this. No,

  683. it was said today in the West, in the global

  684. lingua franda. And so, mister.

  685. Blo, I'm telling you right now, if some joker got

  686. up in for you today and said this, you need

  687. to flee for your life, because the very first thing

  688. they're going to do, the little horn, They're going.

  689. To take their little nameless half of all members of

  690. the congregation and both commit that listing them with the

  691. excile of your face. I don't care what yourch You're going.

  692. You have no intermediary. You look it up, write it down,

  693. right hand of God, look it up. That is the

  694. Lord Jesus Christ alone. Only the Lord Jesus Christ does that.

  695. Nobody else, nobody ever can do that thing. I am

  696. telling you the truth. I am telling you the truth.

  697. I'm telling you the truth, and you need to know

  698. why it says what it says. And I'm just I'll

  699. say what say.

  700. Matthew. You know, I think it's hard to fathom, you know, people.

  701. From our age group from where when we were raised

  702. in church that not immediately setting off alarm bells with us.

  703. I can't even I can't even tell you when I

  704. when I.

  705. When I knew that Christ was are anymediary? I can't even,

  706. you know, think of a time where.

  707. I didn't realize that that the Lord Jesus Christ was

  708. our intercestor.

  709. So for this to happen in the church and have

  710. nobody object, nobody stand up, nobody say nothing. I mean,

  711. it's like everyone there is spiritually dead, Matthew, because as

  712. soon as you shared this with me, it's just like

  713. it was.

  714. Like a stab in my heart. It was like like.

  715. The pang of fear hearing that being said in the church.

  716. I just can't think of anybody who reads their Bible, Matthew,

  717. not not having that that being said in front of

  718. them on the pulpit, and not just having that having

  719. a reaction, having a physical reaction to to to the blasting,

  720. the blasphemy that's just said.

  721. That's that's what I thought. You know, whether whether.

  722. Everyone's too afraid to jump up and say nothing, or

  723. or people aren't as like you said, literate enough to say, well,

  724. is it is he saying what I think he's saying.

  725. You know, that's just it's it's just it's just scary, Matthew.

  726. And and it just tells just let us know that

  727. we're going to enter the birth things that That's that's

  728. what I feel, Jose.

  729. I'm gonna have to give you a bubble a biblical

  730. definition of what occurred. Okay, what occurred today at that

  731. church was the abomination of desolation. There was an acting

  732. head of the Body of Christ. What is the body

  733. of Christ, Jose, It's God's temple. Yes, it is, yes, yes, yes,

  734. And that head said he was God's intermediary and not

  735. only that that he represented God to that body of Christ.

  736. That Jose is the abomination of desolation. Yes it is.

  737. That's a textbook definition of the abomination of desolation. Yes

  738. it is. Now, look, this is the tribulation trigger, and

  739. you need to know why. So I'm going to tell you.

  740. I'm not going to read the whole chapter Hebrews, chapter ten,

  741. string of verse eleven. And every priest stands ministering daily

  742. and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices which can never take away. Say,

  743. but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for

  744. sins forever, set down at the right hand of God

  745. from that time, waiting till his enemies are made his footstool,

  746. for by one offering he has perfected forever those who

  747. are being sanctified. Now I can give you commentary on

  748. verse thirteen that happens on the Great Day of the Lord,

  749. that is the six seal event, all his enemies are

  750. put underneath his footstool. And you need to know that

  751. everybody who's being sanctified will continue to be sanctified until

  752. the Lord Jesus Christ is coronated. That coronation occurs immediately

  753. after the Great Day of the Lord, immediately after the succeal.

  754. This is why after that event, those who are martyred,

  755. they are not those who sleep in Jesus. After this event,

  756. they become the dead in Christ. What I'm telling you

  757. is the bona fide, unadulterated, uncontestable truth. This is true,

  758. this is what's going to happen. And what occurred today

  759. in this church in English was an abomination of desolation.

  760. And I need to make sure everybody understands that no

  761. one represents God to you. Nobody except the Lord Jesus Christ. Nobody, nobody,

  762. Nobody goes to God the Father and represents you outside

  763. of God the Son. Nobody, Nobody, nobody. Those are my

  764. closing comments. I am upset enough that I could literally

  765. preach for three hours straight. Now I'm just so you

  766. won't know. I did broadcast for over seven hours straight.

  767. And I'll tell you why. I'm afraid for you, ladies

  768. and gentlemen. The next time you partake in communion, I

  769. suggest you go by yourself, don't let your family members

  770. go with you. And I suggest you take a recording

  771. device or something and you make sure they don't say this,

  772. because there is only one who is the first born

  773. from the dead, and whoever standing up in front of

  774. your congregation, it ain't him, hose take over.

  775. Please all right, Matthew, I don't think there's very much

  776. I can add to that. I'm in whole agreement with

  777. what you just said. And I hope that the Ecclesia,

  778. the body that TechEd out epigalia. I hope and pray

  779. that you understand what is to come. That what Jesus

  780. told us in Matthew twenty four is going to happen

  781. to us during the birthday, and we need to prepare

  782. ourselves mentally, physically, and spiritually.

  783. For that of those events that are coming back.

  784. Amen.

  785. If you've got nothing to share, Matthew, I'd like to

  786. pray us out.

  787. Yes, please pray us out.

  788. Okay.

  789. I'm going to start with some scripture, Matthew. From Matthew

  790. twenty four. Now, as he sat on the Mount of Olives,

  791. the disciple came to him privately, saying, tell us when

  792. will these things be? And what will be the sign

  793. of your coming and the end of the age. And

  794. Jesus answered and said to them, take heed that no

  795. one deceives you, for many will come in my name,

  796. saying I am the Christ, and will deceive many. And

  797. you will hear awards and rumors of wars. Be that

  798. you are not troubled, for all these things must come

  799. to pass. But the end is not yet. Or nation

  800. will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there

  801. will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All

  802. these are the beginning of sorrows. Then they will deliver

  803. you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will

  804. be hated for all nations for my namesake. And then

  805. many will be offended, will betray one another, and will

  806. hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up

  807. and deceive many, and because lawlessness will abound, the love

  808. of many will grow cold. But he who endures to

  809. the end shall be saved. And the gospel of the

  810. Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a

  811. witness to all the nation. And then the end will come.

  812. Dear heavenly father, I ask that you remind us that

  813. your ecclesia, your body, your temple daily of what you

  814. have told us is to come. You have told us

  815. what's to prepare for. You have told us what to praise,

  816. for you have told us how we are to act
