-
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to Marin Off the Ministries
-
with Matthew Miller. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program.
-
We are your hosts, jose and Matthew. Tonight, we're continuing
-
on with the Book of the Twelve, the Twelve Prophets.
-
You know this, A lot of people are going to
-
have problems with what we talk about tonight, and I'm
-
going to tell you why. I'm just going to be forthright,
-
because I've been doing this for so long, Okay, I've
-
been doing this for so long with people in the
-
classroom that i already know what the problem is. And
-
I'm just going to tell you so you understand your clergy,
-
whoever that may be. I don't care what flavor they are.
-
I don't care if they're Orthodox, I don't care if
-
they're Catholics. I don't care if they're Protestants. I don't
-
care if they're Charismatics. They all have disassociated you with
-
the reality of your redemption. They have by every way,
-
shape and form, reinforced upon you. The reality of society,
-
and the reality of society is geared toward one end,
-
and that one single end is your retirement and living
-
in that retirement comfortably. This has supplanted the Christian reality
-
that our perfection will be lived in glory. So saith
-
the Lord. Romans, chapter eight, verse thirty nine. Ose, do
-
you have any friends? Do you have anybody in your
-
family that views life this way? They are planning, They
-
are going according to the procedure which will enter them
-
in into the redemption? Or are they striving after obtaining
-
a cush living in their retirement.
-
Yeah, most people are planning for retirement, Matthew.
-
You know oose for one. Let's say this most translations,
-
most Bible teachers, most preachers say that there is a
-
parable of the rich young ruler. Right, But that's not
-
what the Greek says. The Greek says he was a landowner, right.
-
I mean, let's just let's be truthful. And Jesus says
-
something pretty pointed to him. Okay, do the opposite. Instead
-
of storing up for your retirement. He tells him to
-
give it all away and store up for his redemption, right, correct?
-
And that is outright rejected, the outright rejected. You know, Jose,
-
you know I love you, right amen? And you know
-
I would not hurt you so I'm not going to
-
ask you the question. But you already know about me,
-
don't you. Yes, you already know that I don't even
-
have anything in savings. You already know we've always lived
-
below the poverty level. I mean, you don't have to
-
like it, but this is true, Jose, right right. I
-
worked like an animal, didn't I? And how I fed
-
my children was with food stamps. That is true, isn't it. Yes,
-
these things are quite simply a matter of historical fact,
-
and it obviously states that I wasn't brought up the
-
normal way. But the reason why I'm saying this, ladies
-
and gentlemen, because here in Jose chapter six, God comes
-
right out and tells you what he's going to do.
-
And the reason why he does it is because you
-
can't stop him. Now, for some reason, all the clergy
-
in the West have all their congregations firmly believed that
-
the Lord God of Heaven has been entombed upon his throne,
-
even though Psalm forty four says something completely different. But
-
I'm good with that. But here in Hoseah chapter six,
-
he comes right and tells you what he's going to do.
-
And if you didn't have the wherewithal to understand how
-
Satan knows that his time is short. I don't know
-
what to tell you. Now. The Lord Jesus Christ comes
-
right out and says that no man knows the day
-
of the hour, not even the angels, right, jose Great,
-
But yet, why does everybody think that Satan must have
-
supernatural knowledge when he doesn't. He just knows Joseiah chapter six.
-
And it blows me away. How it makes a lot
-
of people mad whenever you remind them how Jesus cured Satan.
-
Every single time it is written, it is written, it
-
is written. They hate that they gnashed their teeth because
-
a great swath of even the New Testament they outright reject. Outright,
-
they outright rejected. Got myself in a little bit of
-
trouble this past weekjse So, I have a person that
-
that is on my social media. I've had him on
-
the program twice for an interview. Well, he thought he
-
would be cute, right, and he thought he would come
-
out and make a social media post that you know,
-
if you really believe the Bible, you'd be willing to
-
put any verse on a t shirt and wear it around.
-
Of course, he was trying to be cute. Guess what
-
Matthew did. Jose didn't pull any punches. I pulled out
-
the one I knew he was referring to women had
-
not preach, pasted the whole thing in there. Guess what
-
happens a couple of days ago by he sends me
-
a private message. The women at his church confronted him,
-
and he said, by the way, that's the verse I
-
was talking about. But I didn't. He didn't have the
-
what do you call that estosterone? Perhaps right? So now
-
I know people's gnashing their teeth at me. This is true, Jose.
-
When the devil himself was tempting c what did Christ
-
keep responding to the devil? It is written right right. Well,
-
that's my opening comments on this chapter. What's what's your
-
opening comments? It's pretty short, should be pretty easy, right.
-
Right now, Matthew, I think just to go off of
-
what you you started the program off with. This is
-
what I've heard, you know, especially as I got into
-
Marianatha Ministries and started studying with you and the other members,
-
and I would share things you know about what is
-
to come and my feeling that we are close to
-
this happening. I heard time and time again from from
-
believers and non believers, Christians and non Christians, saying, well,
-
doesn't every generation believe that it's going to happen in
-
their time? Why do you think you're right this time
-
and they were wrong? That's just that was a common
-
refrain even and you know, you know that I listened
-
to other programs that that talk about the Bible to
-
see what other Christians are saying about certain passages, or
-
just to to to get an idea of you know,
-
where where our where our church is headed. You know
-
what direction the church is heading, right that. That's that's
-
a common thing I do to stay abreast of the
-
church and and and different Christians around the world. And
-
and I and I hear this from from pastors and
-
priests often often we h don't don't plan for God
-
to come in your lifetime, you know, act like a Christians,
-
do all this stuff, but don't don't look for that
-
day of our redemption, Matthew, which to me, it's just
-
how can you be a Christian? And I think that way, Matthew,
-
that the only way you can do that is if
-
right now you are comfortable where you're at, and you're,
-
like you said, looking forward to being more comfortable. So
-
it doesn't really matter to you if God comes today
-
or if he comes two thousand years from now, because
-
you're good. When we know, Matthew, there are millions of
-
Christians that are not good, millions of Christians that are suffering,
-
millions of Christians that are sacrificing their daily bread to
-
help other people, even other non Christians, people that are
-
actually carrying out the words that Jesus himself left us, Matthew.
-
So it's I understand that's how a lot of people feel.
-
But it hurts, Matthew. It hurts the here. Even Christians
-
say those words.
-
Well, you know, and not just by saying that, you're
-
saying what I said earlier. I mean, what kind of
-
a preacher would tell you not to live your life
-
like Jesus is coming back? I mean, because that defeats
-
the whole purpose of the Bible. Cover to cover, That
-
defeats the whole purpose. You are absolutely supposed to live
-
every second of your life according to His imminent return
-
and your glorification. I'll say it again, amen, I mean
-
that's how you're supposed to be living. So in effect,
-
these people are I mean, the clergy is telling the
-
Christians won't live your life like Jesus is coming back. Jose,
-
I take unbridge with that, I really do, right, that
-
that comes out of the devil, that comes out of
-
the devil's mouth, Jose, I mean, that's straight out of
-
the garden of age. Right. Just lay down, Just lay
-
down and go to sleep. So let's do this. Before
-
we get reading this, I probably should read some some
-
verses in preparation for what we're going to read here.
-
Storms Chapter ninety, first three, you turn man to destruction
-
and say, return old children of men for a thousand
-
years in your sight our leg yesterday when in this
-
passed and like a watch in the night. Now take
-
note this verse said that in God's sight yesterday, it's
-
like a thousand years. Now let's go to Ecclesiastes. I'm
-
going to read you, you know, some very simple verses,
-
Verses three through six. It's going to say something that
-
you probably don't want to hear. Okay, If a man
-
begets a hundred children and lives many years, so that
-
the days of his years are many, but his soul
-
is not satisfied with goodness, or indeed he has no burial,
-
I say that a stillborn child is better than ye,
-
for it comes in vanity and departs in darkness, and
-
its name is covered in darkness, though it has not
-
been the sun or known anything. This has more rest
-
than that man, even if he lives a thousand years
-
twice but has not seen goodness. Do not all go
-
to one place? Now? I could keep reading, but I'm
-
not going to Second Peter chapter two, or Second Peter
-
chapter three, verse eight. But beloved, do not forget this
-
one thing that with the Lord, a day is a
-
thousand years, and a thousand years is as one day. Now.
-
I know it's gonna be hard for all of you
-
to understand, but the devil himself knows these things to
-
be true. Whether you rejectured or not, he knows them
-
to be true. So with that, Jose, why don't you
-
read here? In Jose chapter six. You can read the
-
whole thing. You can stop in the middle for commentary,
-
do what you want. Just go ahead and read it
-
for us. You're reading out of the lexum English subcluage
-
it right, because that's what this Bible is. Because that's
-
what this Bible study is about. Ladies and gentlemen. We're
-
doing the Book of the twelve, okay, and then the
-
septuagen This is all one book. It's in a different
-
order than your mesoretical Testament, but that's what we're doing, Okay,
-
jose take it away, all right?
-
So joseh six. In their affliction, they will rise up
-
early toward me, saying, let us go and return to
-
the Lord, our God, because he has snatched just a way,
-
and he will heal us. He will strike, and he
-
will bandage it and bandage us. He will restore us
-
to health after two days. On the third day, we
-
will rise and live before him, and we will know.
-
We will seek to know the Lord like the sure
-
to come dawn. We will find him, and he will
-
come to us like the early and late rain comes
-
to the earth. What will I do with you, o
-
f Raim, What will I do with you? Oh Judah?
-
Your mercy is like an early morning cloud, and like
-
an early dew that is going away. On account of this,
-
I cut off your prophets. I killed them with the
-
word from my mouth, and my judgment will go out
-
like light, because I want mercy rather than sacrifice, and
-
knowledge of God rather than whole burnt offerings. But they
-
are like a person breaking a treaty. He despised me.
-
Gilead is a city doing vain things and stirring up water.
-
And your strength is that of a pirate man. Priests
-
hid the way they killed Shechem because they did lawlessness.
-
In the house of Israel, I saw a horrible thing.
-
There was fornication of entering. Israel and Judah were defiled.
-
Begin to read for yourself when I returned the captives
-
of my people.
-
When I hear Israel, well that's a mouthfuodt yep. But
-
needless to say that opening Stanza had some punch. He
-
come right out and told you, I mean literally, point blank.
-
He told you that after two thousand years he would
-
raise us up on the third day. And not only that,
-
uh wow, he said some pretty off the hook things.
-
So when you study your history, Jose, no one understands this.
-
Astronomically speaking, we can absolutely prove the sequence of events
-
that happened in a holy week, and beyond any contestation
-
in the dates given historically, there's only two different years
-
that Jesus could have been crucified. Now we don't know
-
this just from the calendar. We know this from astronomy.
-
We know this we don't play tricksie like the allergy
-
does with Easter, right right? I mean, let me just
-
ask you what's lent.
-
Lent's supposed to be the time before before Holy Week, Matthew,
-
according to different churches.
-
Really, well, it's not according to the Bible. That's a fact, amen, Okay.
-
And they want you chasing your tail, so you don't
-
know when he and what is Easter? Okay. I hate
-
to ring everybody's party. The reason why you're saved is
-
because Jesus fulfilled the role as the passover lamp Am,
-
I telling the truth?
-
Ose, Amen, The Lord.
-
Jesus Christ fulfilled Passover. So you need to understand that
-
when you follow all the historical references and then look
-
to astronomy as to when Passover actually was, because whether
-
you like it or not, Passover is the full first
-
full moon after after the equinox in the spring. Everybody
-
knows this. You can go back in astronomy and find
-
out exactly when those days had to occur to line
-
up with the biblical narratives, and that only happens in
-
thirty eight and thirty three AD. So you need to
-
know this up front. If you're listening to my voice
-
it is highly probable, unless you're in your seventies, that
-
you're going to see these things come to pass. And
-
take note what he just said in Jose chapter six
-
is not exactly friend How do I say user friendly?
-
It's not user friendly at all, whether you like it
-
or not. What the Lord Jesus Christ said in Matthew
-
twenty four, whether you like it or not, it's going
-
to come true. You are going to go through the birthpags.
-
You are going to see the abomination of desolation? Is
-
that not what the tribulation trigger is Jose.
-
Yes, exactly.
-
And once he says that you are witnessed to that
-
event happening, it's then that he tells you to flee
-
right right? Why does nobody get that? What he says
-
before this perfectly lines up with the first five seals
-
in Revelation chapter six Ose he says wars and rumors
-
of wars right correct. He says this. He says that,
-
ladies and gentlemen, this does not take a rocket scientist's degree.
-
You're supposed to know what he's talking about. What the
-
new King James version and the King James version labels
-
as beginning of Sorrows I appreciate that that's a wrong translation.
-
That Greek word there is used for the throws experienced
-
in delivery. They're birth pangs. That's all they are there,
-
There is no other word for that. What Jesus Christ
-
said the birth pains were going to be lines up
-
with those first five seals in Revelation chapter six. Now,
-
with all the verses that we've shared with you, you
-
should have this in eight understanding in your bot that
-
twenty thirty isn't very far away, and even if you
-
dodge that bullet, twenty thirty three is only three years
-
after that. What I'm telling you is true. It's absolutely true.
-
Like I said, we can prove this more ways than.
-
One, so that kind of makes you take.
-
A second look at this doesn't absolutely Matthew.
-
What what it reminds me of real quick before we continue, Matthew,
-
that very first verse, it reminds me of when right
-
they were in the desert being led to the Promised Land,
-
and they complained because all they had to eat was man,
-
and they complained because they wanted more water. They complained
-
that they didn't have the delicacies of Egypt they wanted
-
instead of wanting to return to the Lord. Like the
-
first verses here, they wanted to return to Egypt. Matthew.
-
And we know because of what Jesus has told us
-
that the birth pangs are going to be far worse
-
than what they experienced in the desert. Matthew. And you're
-
going to have brother against brother, mother against daughter. You're
-
very saying church members that you broke bread with are
-
going to turn against you. Your very own household is
-
going to turn against you, Matthew. And Hoseah six here
-
is telling us we need to return to the Lord,
-
not long to return to Egypt. So that's what struck
-
me about that very first verse, Matthew.
-
You know it triggers a remembrance, Sir, with me about
-
what the Lord said about it. Numbers chapter fourteen. I
-
have pardon according to your word. But truly as I live,
-
or the earth shall be filled with the glory of
-
the Lord. Because all these men who have seen my
-
glory and the signs which I did in Egypt and
-
in the wilderness, and have put me to the test
-
now these ten times, and have not heeded my voice,
-
they certainly shall not see the land of which I
-
swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who
-
rejected me. See it, that's what you're talking about, right, Damen, everybody,
-
everybody might want to on their own go over the
-
first as I just read, because God is very pointed
-
in what he says about the matter. And you know,
-
let's talk about this. Verse three has some very controversial
-
things to say. It says he will come to us
-
like the early and late rain comes through the earth.
-
Now we've all heard, all of us that study end
-
time Bible prophecy have heard about this infamous latter reign,
-
right right. It's funny though they never quote this verse
-
in relationship to it, do they.
-
Right, he is.
-
Literally coming out and telling you that after two thousand
-
years you will receive the lot of rain. When's the
-
last time you heard that, Jose, I haven't, Matthew, you've
-
never heard that? No, Now we can, you know, go
-
to online sources and get entire curriculum on the latter rain.
-
Can't wait, right, I mean, the charismatics are all over it, right, Yet,
-
it's funny. Out of any charismatic person I've ever talked to,
-
dealt with, went to church with them, sat in the pews,
-
none of them could ever say, hey, two thousand years
-
after the crucifixion, when's the latter range can fall? But
-
yet Jose just come right out and said that, yeah,
-
we did some trick questions, can we hose you want to?
-
So you're in big trouble if you don't know this question.
-
But anyway, how many people were present when the former
-
reign was emptied out in the upper room In the
-
opening chapters of Acts, how many people were there?
-
Boy? Well, I know there was there was five hundred
-
witnesses to the resurrection, But now I don't know that exactly.
-
Iber Matthew, really you don't.
-
The opening chapters of Acts says it was one hundred
-
and twenty people.
-
Amen.
-
Okay, that usually takes people by surprise, but yes it does.
-
I mean those of you who are saturated in scripture,
-
does this should be common knowledge? Acts, Chapter one, verse fifteen.
-
And in those days Peter stood up in the midst
-
of his disciples altogether the number of names, which was
-
about one hundred and twenty. So when it happened, then, Jose,
-
you realize the entirety of the Holy Spirit was concentrated
-
into the one hundred and twenty people. Did you realize that?
-
Amen? Amen?
-
Right? So as you proceed through the Book of Acts,
-
it says that the number gets bigger and bigger and
-
bigger and bigger and bigger, right, right, So that is
-
to say, from this event, it was so concentrated in
-
this small of the group that hungus the fire appeared, right, correct, Well,
-
it says that, you know, it says here and there
-
that there was three hundred added, and this number was added,
-
and that number was added. So right now we've got
-
Christians in Russia, right, Yes, we have Christians in South Africa, right, Yes,
-
we have Christians in Mexico, right, correct. So now we've
-
went from about one hundred and twenty individual people in
-
the former reign to let's say, one hundred and twenty
-
million people, right right. Do you see where I'm getting at?
-
You don't, do you, ladies and gentlemen. You're sitting there
-
biting your lip, thinking to yourself. Something's not right as
-
I speak. Something's making you uneasy because it's right in
-
front of your face and you can't see it. You
-
refuse it. You've rejected his words so long that when
-
you read it it does not sulturate your psyching. You rejected.
-
I just made reference to the simple fact that what
-
the Lord Jesus Christ describes being the birth pangs line
-
up with the seals in Revelation chapter six. Now, if
-
you're wondering what these equations were about, let me start
-
reading from the fifth Seal, Revelation, chapter six, verse nine.
-
How are we going to get back to that? My
-
concentration per capital? Now, by God, that's a term you know,
-
isn't it? You know all about per capita, don't you?
-
When he opened the Fifth sil I saw under the
-
altar the souls of those who had been slain for
-
the word of God and for the testimony which they held.
-
They quite out with a loud voice, saying, how long,
-
old Lord, hoh, you're true until you judge and avenge
-
our blood on those who dwell on the earth. You
-
should know by this language and language that I could
-
just start spouting off the top of my head, just
-
just litertered. That's one of your terminology. That's what you
-
would say. You'd say that this information is littered throughout
-
the entire New Testament about your trials and testing, right hose, Right, Well,
-
I'm gonna tell you, ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna tell
-
you how you're going to get down to such a
-
such a high concentration per capita because you're going through
-
the birth pains, and on the other side of it,
-
there'll be a whole lot fewer occupants of the Holy Spirit.
-
This is going to trigger a ladder rain sort of ratio.
-
Did you know that. I'm sorry your Bible prophecy teacher
-
has been telling you to live your life as if
-
the Lord Jesus Christ is not going to come back
-
in your lifetime. You might want to reassess that mentality
-
because the Lord God shared the promises with jose This
-
is true, true Oseiah. Right here. He has promised that
-
two thousand years after the resurrection, we was going to
-
finish Daniel seventieth week. Now, I know I said it
-
to you in a strange way. What I'm saying to
-
you is this that Hoseiah chapter six, verse two is
-
a promise. That's a promise. And do you know why
-
God's gonna keep it? Because you can't stop him. No
-
matter how much you plan for your retirement, you can't
-
stop him. You can't stop him. You know. I'm gonna
-
read to you few verses from a simple psalm Psalm
-
chapter forty four It's not the first time I read
-
it today. I discussed it earlier today at link with
-
my wives. Mm hm hm verse twenty two. Yet, for
-
your sake, we are being killed all day long. We
-
are counted as sheep for the slaughter. Awake. Why do
-
you sleep, oh Lord? A rise? Do not cast us
-
off forever? Why do you hide your face and forget
-
our affliction and our oppression? For our soul is bowed
-
down to the day our body changed to the ground.
-
A rise for our help and redeem us for your
-
mercy's sake. Now, I'm sorry if no preacher ever declared
-
this to you, but I'm here to tell you that
-
if you're one of the ones that are alive and remain,
-
you're going to go through the birth pains, and eventually
-
you're going to come to this notion. The only way
-
you're going to survive this is if he who setteth
-
upon the throne has not been tuned upon it. Because
-
the very simple verses I just read to you said
-
that this is when God was going to arise. What
-
does arise me?
-
Jose to stand up, Matthew, Ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna
-
tell you what's What's gonna happen.
-
When God stands up, everybody else is gonna eat and dirt. Now,
-
Jose and I also are obligated to tell you of
-
what we've done in the past. We've done a series
-
on the slaughter of the shepherds, and I'm going to
-
tell you what God says he's gonna do. He's gonna
-
take these lying clergy and He's going to litter the
-
planet with their bodies, isn't the Jose.
-
Yes, like he says here in Oaseiah, Matthew's gonna cut
-
off the prophets, cut off your profits, the ones that
-
say what you want to hear.
-
They pay him good money too, don't they.
-
Amen.
-
I was just watching a video clip earlier. Really famous guy.
-
He decides to, you know, do an ex of Jesus
-
of Galatians. And the morning of this sermon, you know,
-
he realizes he's put himself in the trap that uh oh,
-
he has to talk about marriage in a way he
-
don't want to hear it. Well, guess what half his
-
congregation got him walked out. And I guarantee you what happened.
-
You don't want to know what happened, don't you. His
-
salary just got cut right, that's a fact. So anyway,
-
you know, and this is what Joseah was a alluding
-
to earlier, that that these it doesn't matter what church
-
you know, politic you're talking about those people in paid
-
positions that run your local churches. They all say the
-
same thing. Don't live your life like Jesus is going
-
to return in it. They want you to live like
-
the devil and give them good. That's what they want.
-
They tell you you can live like the devil as
-
long as you tip them good because if you don't,
-
they'll stop paying, won't they. Jose Yes, So I for
-
one am very glad that we got to share this
-
information with the people who's going to participate in this
-
program because now they know God come right out and
-
tell them, after two thousand years, we're going to get
-
this show on the road. And everybody needs to realize
-
you a little bit closer than you thought you were,
-
or should I say another word? That's wrong to say that, right,
-
because jose you and I both know what they were
-
really doing. They were hoping. They were hoping it wouldn't
-
happen in their lifetime, right right, even though the Lord
-
Jesus Christ and Matthew twenty four said that those people
-
who are alive and remain, they get the greatest reward,
-
right amen. I mean, isn't that backwards teaching? Shouldn't everybody?
-
I know that I was, Jose, and it's probably evident
-
to most people that it's evident that I was raised
-
that way, that I was raised the hope that I
-
actually am alive when I get glorified. That's how I
-
was raised, Jose, I was. I know this is going
-
to be a shock to your system. Jose. My parents,
-
my my my adults, you know, my elders, whatever you
-
want to call them. The adult people in my life
-
never encouraged me to go get a rocket science degree
-
so I could be a millionaire. Never, never, no one
-
ever encouraged me to go to school to achieve some
-
lucrative position so I could be wealthy. My dad never
-
said that, my brothers, my sisters, no adult that I
-
know that I know in my childhood ever even mention
-
that to me. I was trained up since the day
-
I was born to live my life for the Lord
-
Jesus Christ and to prepare for what he has in
-
store for me. I'm being as serious as a heart
-
attack does any of you even know what that is?
-
Do you even know what that is? Do you know
-
what the Bible says, God has his designs are for you.
-
I'm gonna share it with you. Okay, I'm gonna share
-
it with you. But the first verse you already know.
-
It's one of the most famous verses that everybody gets
-
to memorize. It's on pictures everywhere. But it's only part
-
of it. It's actually three verses. If you don't know
-
the other two, he been left out in the dark.
-
So the verses are as follows. And we know that
-
all things work together for the good to those who
-
love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
-
For whom he four knew, he also predestined could be
-
conformed to the image of his son, that he might
-
be the first born among many brethren. Moreover, whom he.
-
Predestined, these he also called, whom he called, these he
-
also justified, and whom he justified these he also glorified.
-
Lady's knowing these three verses are how you're supposed to
-
live your life, because you need to know that. These
-
verses said that the whole purpose of you being born
-
again is that you will be conformed to the image
-
of his sons, Hose. How many times have we shared
-
the contents of First John Chapter three?
-
Too many to count, Matthew.
-
Because it plainly says that if you live like the devil,
-
you're a child of the devil. I mean, it stills
-
right outside it right right. Yes, probably upset a lot
-
of people, haven't, I jose, Yeah, But they need.
-
To hear it, Matthew. They need to hear the truth.
-
They need to hear the truth. You know, you probably
-
didn't hear a lot of this creature when you were
-
growing up, either, did.
-
J Jose, not, not the whole extent of what you're saying. No,
-
I did hear. I did hear some of it. Yes,
-
that's why I grew up there in the Lord, right.
-
I wouldn't you don't. You know, you don't come to
-
this naturally unless it's shown to you, Matthew, because naturally
-
you want You're worried about your time here on this
-
earth and making it comfortable and providing for your family,
-
and you know, trying to, like you said, trying to
-
get that lucrative position, so you can do that the
-
best way possible. But growing up a lot of this
-
stuff was shared with me, and so that put my
-
focus there instead of instead of Egypt. Matthew. So no,
-
I had have not heard this whole You know everything
-
that we study and we go over every week, Matthew.
-
Know I didn't. I did not get all of it
-
the way you did, the way you were raised. But
-
I did get some of it.
-
Oh. People probably have an unsettling feeling right about now,
-
don't they if they're reading the news. Yes, I mean
-
things aren't looking too good, are they.
-
Nope?
-
I mean, just for example, I've been reading in the
-
headlines here lately that the CEO of Walmart Target Home
-
Depot and Low's come out and said that within three
-
weeks they're gonna have empty shelves, right right? Has anybody
-
thought about the logistics of what that means? You know,
-
you're probably all thinking about your retirement. So I'm gonna
-
have to give you my Biblical X and Jesus on this, okay,
-
because I don't know what the Bible actually says. And
-
it's amazing to me that a lot of INtime ministries
-
out there because I follow them on social media. It's
-
like reading the funny papers. Now, a lot of you
-
might not know what the funny peoples are. But in
-
the old days, newspapers would come to everybody's house, and
-
in the newspaper the Sunday edition was cartoons. They were
-
called the funny papers. So I fall them like then,
-
the funny papers, because a lot of these INtime ministries
-
are saying that, you know, American is is mystery Babylon
-
and that we're going to be destroyed by all of
-
our enemies. And now we've made enemies with China, so
-
China's going to destroy us, and that just tickles me pink,
-
because that's not what the Bible says. I'll tell you
-
what it says. It says that there comes a time
-
when all the merchants of the earth weep because their
-
wares cannot be sold in Babylon anymore, because Babylon is burning, right, Jose,
-
Right now, what is the number one merchant on a
-
daily basis drops off millions of tons of freight at
-
our ports every day? Which merchant is that.
-
Kind of Matthew?
-
So what the Book of Revelation is saying is that
-
China will be the number one person that weeps that
-
Babylon is burned. Right right, Let me give you a
-
scenario that makes sense, shall I so does what makes
-
sense to me? Warehouses will quickly run out if this
-
runs its course, right, Yes, So this is what option
-
A could be. There's only one group that has the
-
money to pay those tariffs and keep this going. I'm
-
going to shock you. You're not expecting me to say it.
-
I'm going to say Walmart could pay. Walmart has the
-
cash to pay for the individual freight that's coming to
-
their stores, right, Yes, yes, they do have the resources
-
to do that, don't they. Yep, that's option A that
-
the corporations which have all the money in the United States,
-
not the government, the corporations who have all the money,
-
they'll pay the tariffs themselves. Or b B is that
-
naturally all these places will immediately increase prices tenfold, right, Hose,
-
So they'll take a toothbrush and it'll be a dollar.
-
They'll market to ten dollars, won't they. Right, This will
-
completely crash the economy. So what they'll do is is
-
they will try to claim a loss on all their toothbrushes.
-
The government will allow them to do this in the
-
first year, which is this year. In the second year,
-
the government will cut off reimbursements for losses because the
-
government will know that we need toothbrushes, don't we Jose, yes.
-
Instead of selling all the toothbrushes, the people who own
-
these businesses will want to claim a loss on it
-
and just take them to the landfills. In the second year,
-
the government will say, you cannot claim as a loss.
-
You have to mark them down. Now, the next thing
-
is going to come out of my mouth is going
-
to chill you to your bone. As you know this
-
has happened before. It's called insurance fraud. If these business
-
owners can't claim a loss and they have to mark
-
it down, there's another good way to recoup all those losses,
-
aren't there, Jose. You just set your building on fire
-
now under this scenario, guess what China would do.
-
Ladies and gentlemen.
-
You don't sell wares in household, do you, Jose No?
-
I mean, when's the last time you checked on commercial
-
real estate? Jose, I have not.
-
Matthew, you might want to take a look at it
-
because it ain't looking good, right, It is not looking good.
-
Commercial real estate is worse off than it was during
-
the Great Recession. It's worse oft than it was during
-
the pandemic. Now, look, this is what the Bible actually says.
-
The kings of the earth, who committed fornication and lived
-
luxurious with her, will weep and limit for her when
-
they see the smoke of her burning, standing at a distance,
-
for fear of her torn hat, saying alas alas that
-
great city Babylon that made city. For in one hour
-
your judgment is come. And all the merchants of the
-
earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one
-
buys their Where are their merchandise anymore? Merchandise of gold, silver,
-
precious stones and pearls, and fine linen and purple silk
-
and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of
-
object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze,
-
iron and marble, and cinnamon and incense, and fragrant oil
-
and freakin sense, wine, oil, fine flour and wheat, battle
-
and sheep, porsches, cherrichs, bodies and souls of men, ladies
-
and gentlemen. The merchants were only selling their wares in
-
commercial buildings. And this is saying. It never states here
-
in these verses that it was the merchants that act
-
destroyed Babylon. It says they weep over it, right, Ose, correct,
-
it sounds like to me, Well, I mean we could
-
prove it in a court of law. I mean I
-
could take you back to multiple incidents in multiple city
-
that we had a rash of fires that turned out
-
to be insurance fraud. This is common knowledge, right, Yes,
-
that's literally what this is talking about. The vendors had
-
burned down their places of business. Therefore, the merchants had
-
no place to sell their wares.
-
So just to heads up, we could be in for
-
some rough water up ahead, right Jose, Yes, Matthew, but
-
take no, but take no.
-
The government can't have all of this unsold merchandise because
-
they've jacked it up ten times. They can't have all
-
that stuff wind up at the landfill, right right. Has
-
anybody ever walked you down this thought process before? Jose?
-
Uh no, Matthew, not not this detailed.
-
No. Does it make sense? Uh?
-
Yeah, because all the businesses look at it as just
-
a profit and loss. They don't. They're gonna see the
-
best way that they can maximize their profits and limit
-
their losses. And if they have to bring it all
-
up and claim it as insurance, that's what they'll do.
-
I'm gonna give everybody heads up. I'm gonna give you
-
a term that I know from the food industry. We'll
-
say it. You're not going to know what it means.
-
There's people out there in the business that they know
-
what it means. It's called skin backs. It's called scan backs,
-
ladies and gentlemen. I don't know if Jose if he
-
supports me in what I'm about to say, but I
-
will say it anyway, So please don't blame him for
-
saying this. Okay, but I'm here to tell you you
-
better start living your life as if the Second Advent
-
is going to crash your life. Let me say that again.
-
I'll say it in a different way. You better start
-
living your life as if you will be present and
-
accounted for for the return of Christ. And I need
-
to inform you of this before that happens. God the
-
Father is going to do something. We talked about it tonight.
-
He said he was going to get up. God the
-
Father is going to get up and he's going to
-
put all of Jesus's enemies as his footstool. Now listen,
-
if you don't understand it, that's fine. But what I
-
just said is the rock solid truth that said numerous
-
times in the Bible, that the Lord Jesus Christ is
-
going to stay at the right hand of God the
-
Father until God the Father places all of his enemies
-
under his feet. That was to happen before the Second
-
Advent of Christ. Now you might not understand what that
-
day looks like, but I will tell you this much.
-
I promise you. It don't look good. Hose You're closing comments, please, Matthew.
-
The only thing I have left to add is the
-
two place names mentioned here in Hoseiah chapter six, Gilead
-
and Checkham. And when I look at those definitions, Matthew,
-
for those words from the Hebrew right, Gilead is a
-
witness heap or a heap of testimony, and Scheckham is
-
described as the neck, as the place of burdens. And
-
that should take us immediately to the Book of Revelation,
-
the fifth Steeld, Matthew, where you have those witnesses, those
-
martyrs pleading with the Lord to arise, to stand up,
-
to avenge their blood, to begin the great day of
-
the Lord, and to begin the great tribulation, Matthew. And
-
of course that takes us to Revelation thirteen, where we
-
see what happens to those that hold to the testimony
-
and to the law, where they have to lose their heads.
-
And of course that takes us to Revelation chapter twenty, Matthew,
-
where it tells us the final result of those that
-
go through that great tribulation. But Matthew, we as the bride,
-
do not want to be in that place. Matthew. The
-
Lord tells us how we can avoid being one of
-
those martyrs, one of those witnesses, And it tells us
-
here in the very first verse, to rise up early,
-
go and return to the Lord, our God. And we
-
still have time to do that, Matthew. We still have
-
time to repent of all of our sins. We still
-
have time to turn to the Lord, to believe in
-
his son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and to live like
-
a Christian. Matthew, we still have time to do that.
-
Yes we do, Yes we do. Pose take us out
-
of here in prayer.
-
Please, Dear heavenly Father, whom we love and serve, once
-
again and continually, I thank you for allowing me and
-
my brother Matthew to gather together to share your word
-
to the Ecclesia to your church, to your body, to
-
remind people of what you have said, Lord, to remind
-
people of the promises you have given us, the numerous
-
chances that you have shown up us that you favor
-
mercy over sacrifice, mercy over judgment. And Lord, I please
-
ask that you put it in our hearts to accept
-
that mercy, to repent of our sins, to fall down
-
before you, Lord, and proclaim you and your Son, our God,
-
to allow the Holy Spirit to enter into us, to
-
do your work while there is still time. Lord, for
-
we know that we fall short, but through you we
-
are able to accomplish what your will on this earth.
-
And so I just ask daily and continually that you
-
give us that reminder, Lord, that you put it in
-
our hearts to be Christians, to be salt, to be
-
light in this world while we still have time. And
-
I ask all this in the name of your Son,
-
our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
-
Amen in name. Until next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless, godspeed.
