  1. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to Marin Off the Ministries

  2. with Matthew Miller. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program.

  3. We are your hosts, jose and Matthew. Tonight, we're continuing

  4. on with the Book of the Twelve, the Twelve Prophets.

  5. You know this, A lot of people are going to

  6. have problems with what we talk about tonight, and I'm

  7. going to tell you why. I'm just going to be forthright,

  8. because I've been doing this for so long, Okay, I've

  9. been doing this for so long with people in the

  10. classroom that i already know what the problem is. And

  11. I'm just going to tell you so you understand your clergy,

  12. whoever that may be. I don't care what flavor they are.

  13. I don't care if they're Orthodox, I don't care if

  14. they're Catholics. I don't care if they're Protestants. I don't

  15. care if they're Charismatics. They all have disassociated you with

  16. the reality of your redemption. They have by every way,

  17. shape and form, reinforced upon you. The reality of society,

  18. and the reality of society is geared toward one end,

  19. and that one single end is your retirement and living

  20. in that retirement comfortably. This has supplanted the Christian reality

  21. that our perfection will be lived in glory. So saith

  22. the Lord. Romans, chapter eight, verse thirty nine. Ose, do

  23. you have any friends? Do you have anybody in your

  24. family that views life this way? They are planning, They

  25. are going according to the procedure which will enter them

  26. in into the redemption? Or are they striving after obtaining

  27. a cush living in their retirement.

  28. Yeah, most people are planning for retirement, Matthew.

  29. You know oose for one. Let's say this most translations,

  30. most Bible teachers, most preachers say that there is a

  31. parable of the rich young ruler. Right, But that's not

  32. what the Greek says. The Greek says he was a landowner, right.

  33. I mean, let's just let's be truthful. And Jesus says

  34. something pretty pointed to him. Okay, do the opposite. Instead

  35. of storing up for your retirement. He tells him to

  36. give it all away and store up for his redemption, right, correct?

  37. And that is outright rejected, the outright rejected. You know, Jose,

  38. you know I love you, right amen? And you know

  39. I would not hurt you so I'm not going to

  40. ask you the question. But you already know about me,

  41. don't you. Yes, you already know that I don't even

  42. have anything in savings. You already know we've always lived

  43. below the poverty level. I mean, you don't have to

  44. like it, but this is true, Jose, right right. I

  45. worked like an animal, didn't I? And how I fed

  46. my children was with food stamps. That is true, isn't it. Yes,

  47. these things are quite simply a matter of historical fact,

  48. and it obviously states that I wasn't brought up the

  49. normal way. But the reason why I'm saying this, ladies

  50. and gentlemen, because here in Jose chapter six, God comes

  51. right out and tells you what he's going to do.

  52. And the reason why he does it is because you

  53. can't stop him. Now, for some reason, all the clergy

  54. in the West have all their congregations firmly believed that

  55. the Lord God of Heaven has been entombed upon his throne,

  56. even though Psalm forty four says something completely different. But

  57. I'm good with that. But here in Hoseah chapter six,

  58. he comes right and tells you what he's going to do.

  59. And if you didn't have the wherewithal to understand how

  60. Satan knows that his time is short. I don't know

  61. what to tell you. Now. The Lord Jesus Christ comes

  62. right out and says that no man knows the day

  63. of the hour, not even the angels, right, jose Great,

  64. But yet, why does everybody think that Satan must have

  65. supernatural knowledge when he doesn't. He just knows Joseiah chapter six.

  66. And it blows me away. How it makes a lot

  67. of people mad whenever you remind them how Jesus cured Satan.

  68. Every single time it is written, it is written, it

  69. is written. They hate that they gnashed their teeth because

  70. a great swath of even the New Testament they outright reject. Outright,

  71. they outright rejected. Got myself in a little bit of

  72. trouble this past weekjse So, I have a person that

  73. that is on my social media. I've had him on

  74. the program twice for an interview. Well, he thought he

  75. would be cute, right, and he thought he would come

  76. out and make a social media post that you know,

  77. if you really believe the Bible, you'd be willing to

  78. put any verse on a t shirt and wear it around.

  79. Of course, he was trying to be cute. Guess what

  80. Matthew did. Jose didn't pull any punches. I pulled out

  81. the one I knew he was referring to women had

  82. not preach, pasted the whole thing in there. Guess what

  83. happens a couple of days ago by he sends me

  84. a private message. The women at his church confronted him,

  85. and he said, by the way, that's the verse I

  86. was talking about. But I didn't. He didn't have the

  87. what do you call that estosterone? Perhaps right? So now

  88. I know people's gnashing their teeth at me. This is true, Jose.

  89. When the devil himself was tempting c what did Christ

  90. keep responding to the devil? It is written right right. Well,

  91. that's my opening comments on this chapter. What's what's your

  92. opening comments? It's pretty short, should be pretty easy, right.

  93. Right now, Matthew, I think just to go off of

  94. what you you started the program off with. This is

  95. what I've heard, you know, especially as I got into

  96. Marianatha Ministries and started studying with you and the other members,

  97. and I would share things you know about what is

  98. to come and my feeling that we are close to

  99. this happening. I heard time and time again from from

  100. believers and non believers, Christians and non Christians, saying, well,

  101. doesn't every generation believe that it's going to happen in

  102. their time? Why do you think you're right this time

  103. and they were wrong? That's just that was a common

  104. refrain even and you know, you know that I listened

  105. to other programs that that talk about the Bible to

  106. see what other Christians are saying about certain passages, or

  107. just to to to get an idea of you know,

  108. where where our where our church is headed. You know

  109. what direction the church is heading, right that. That's that's

  110. a common thing I do to stay abreast of the

  111. church and and and different Christians around the world. And

  112. and I and I hear this from from pastors and

  113. priests often often we h don't don't plan for God

  114. to come in your lifetime, you know, act like a Christians,

  115. do all this stuff, but don't don't look for that

  116. day of our redemption, Matthew, which to me, it's just

  117. how can you be a Christian? And I think that way, Matthew,

  118. that the only way you can do that is if

  119. right now you are comfortable where you're at, and you're,

  120. like you said, looking forward to being more comfortable. So

  121. it doesn't really matter to you if God comes today

  122. or if he comes two thousand years from now, because

  123. you're good. When we know, Matthew, there are millions of

  124. Christians that are not good, millions of Christians that are suffering,

  125. millions of Christians that are sacrificing their daily bread to

  126. help other people, even other non Christians, people that are

  127. actually carrying out the words that Jesus himself left us, Matthew.

  128. So it's I understand that's how a lot of people feel.

  129. But it hurts, Matthew. It hurts the here. Even Christians

  130. say those words.

  131. Well, you know, and not just by saying that, you're

  132. saying what I said earlier. I mean, what kind of

  133. a preacher would tell you not to live your life

  134. like Jesus is coming back? I mean, because that defeats

  135. the whole purpose of the Bible. Cover to cover, That

  136. defeats the whole purpose. You are absolutely supposed to live

  137. every second of your life according to His imminent return

  138. and your glorification. I'll say it again, amen, I mean

  139. that's how you're supposed to be living. So in effect,

  140. these people are I mean, the clergy is telling the

  141. Christians won't live your life like Jesus is coming back. Jose,

  142. I take unbridge with that, I really do, right, that

  143. that comes out of the devil, that comes out of

  144. the devil's mouth, Jose, I mean, that's straight out of

  145. the garden of age. Right. Just lay down, Just lay

  146. down and go to sleep. So let's do this. Before

  147. we get reading this, I probably should read some some

  148. verses in preparation for what we're going to read here.

  149. Storms Chapter ninety, first three, you turn man to destruction

  150. and say, return old children of men for a thousand

  151. years in your sight our leg yesterday when in this

  152. passed and like a watch in the night. Now take

  153. note this verse said that in God's sight yesterday, it's

  154. like a thousand years. Now let's go to Ecclesiastes. I'm

  155. going to read you, you know, some very simple verses,

  156. Verses three through six. It's going to say something that

  157. you probably don't want to hear. Okay, If a man

  158. begets a hundred children and lives many years, so that

  159. the days of his years are many, but his soul

  160. is not satisfied with goodness, or indeed he has no burial,

  161. I say that a stillborn child is better than ye,

  162. for it comes in vanity and departs in darkness, and

  163. its name is covered in darkness, though it has not

  164. been the sun or known anything. This has more rest

  165. than that man, even if he lives a thousand years

  166. twice but has not seen goodness. Do not all go

  167. to one place? Now? I could keep reading, but I'm

  168. not going to Second Peter chapter two, or Second Peter

  169. chapter three, verse eight. But beloved, do not forget this

  170. one thing that with the Lord, a day is a

  171. thousand years, and a thousand years is as one day. Now.

  172. I know it's gonna be hard for all of you

  173. to understand, but the devil himself knows these things to

  174. be true. Whether you rejectured or not, he knows them

  175. to be true. So with that, Jose, why don't you

  176. read here? In Jose chapter six. You can read the

  177. whole thing. You can stop in the middle for commentary,

  178. do what you want. Just go ahead and read it

  179. for us. You're reading out of the lexum English subcluage

  180. it right, because that's what this Bible is. Because that's

  181. what this Bible study is about. Ladies and gentlemen. We're

  182. doing the Book of the twelve, okay, and then the

  183. septuagen This is all one book. It's in a different

  184. order than your mesoretical Testament, but that's what we're doing, Okay,

  185. jose take it away, all right?

  186. So joseh six. In their affliction, they will rise up

  187. early toward me, saying, let us go and return to

  188. the Lord, our God, because he has snatched just a way,

  189. and he will heal us. He will strike, and he

  190. will bandage it and bandage us. He will restore us

  191. to health after two days. On the third day, we

  192. will rise and live before him, and we will know.

  193. We will seek to know the Lord like the sure

  194. to come dawn. We will find him, and he will

  195. come to us like the early and late rain comes

  196. to the earth. What will I do with you, o

  197. f Raim, What will I do with you? Oh Judah?

  198. Your mercy is like an early morning cloud, and like

  199. an early dew that is going away. On account of this,

  200. I cut off your prophets. I killed them with the

  201. word from my mouth, and my judgment will go out

  202. like light, because I want mercy rather than sacrifice, and

  203. knowledge of God rather than whole burnt offerings. But they

  204. are like a person breaking a treaty. He despised me.

  205. Gilead is a city doing vain things and stirring up water.

  206. And your strength is that of a pirate man. Priests

  207. hid the way they killed Shechem because they did lawlessness.

  208. In the house of Israel, I saw a horrible thing.

  209. There was fornication of entering. Israel and Judah were defiled.

  210. Begin to read for yourself when I returned the captives

  211. of my people.

  212. When I hear Israel, well that's a mouthfuodt yep. But

  213. needless to say that opening Stanza had some punch. He

  214. come right out and told you, I mean literally, point blank.

  215. He told you that after two thousand years he would

  216. raise us up on the third day. And not only that,

  217. uh wow, he said some pretty off the hook things.

  218. So when you study your history, Jose, no one understands this.

  219. Astronomically speaking, we can absolutely prove the sequence of events

  220. that happened in a holy week, and beyond any contestation

  221. in the dates given historically, there's only two different years

  222. that Jesus could have been crucified. Now we don't know

  223. this just from the calendar. We know this from astronomy.

  224. We know this we don't play tricksie like the allergy

  225. does with Easter, right right? I mean, let me just

  226. ask you what's lent.

  227. Lent's supposed to be the time before before Holy Week, Matthew,

  228. according to different churches.

  229. Really, well, it's not according to the Bible. That's a fact, amen, Okay.

  230. And they want you chasing your tail, so you don't

  231. know when he and what is Easter? Okay. I hate

  232. to ring everybody's party. The reason why you're saved is

  233. because Jesus fulfilled the role as the passover lamp Am,

  234. I telling the truth?

  235. Ose, Amen, The Lord.

  236. Jesus Christ fulfilled Passover. So you need to understand that

  237. when you follow all the historical references and then look

  238. to astronomy as to when Passover actually was, because whether

  239. you like it or not, Passover is the full first

  240. full moon after after the equinox in the spring. Everybody

  241. knows this. You can go back in astronomy and find

  242. out exactly when those days had to occur to line

  243. up with the biblical narratives, and that only happens in

  244. thirty eight and thirty three AD. So you need to

  245. know this up front. If you're listening to my voice

  246. it is highly probable, unless you're in your seventies, that

  247. you're going to see these things come to pass. And

  248. take note what he just said in Jose chapter six

  249. is not exactly friend How do I say user friendly?

  250. It's not user friendly at all, whether you like it

  251. or not. What the Lord Jesus Christ said in Matthew

  252. twenty four, whether you like it or not, it's going

  253. to come true. You are going to go through the birthpags.

  254. You are going to see the abomination of desolation? Is

  255. that not what the tribulation trigger is Jose.

  256. Yes, exactly.

  257. And once he says that you are witnessed to that

  258. event happening, it's then that he tells you to flee

  259. right right? Why does nobody get that? What he says

  260. before this perfectly lines up with the first five seals

  261. in Revelation chapter six Ose he says wars and rumors

  262. of wars right correct. He says this. He says that,

  263. ladies and gentlemen, this does not take a rocket scientist's degree.

  264. You're supposed to know what he's talking about. What the

  265. new King James version and the King James version labels

  266. as beginning of Sorrows I appreciate that that's a wrong translation.

  267. That Greek word there is used for the throws experienced

  268. in delivery. They're birth pangs. That's all they are there,

  269. There is no other word for that. What Jesus Christ

  270. said the birth pains were going to be lines up

  271. with those first five seals in Revelation chapter six. Now,

  272. with all the verses that we've shared with you, you

  273. should have this in eight understanding in your bot that

  274. twenty thirty isn't very far away, and even if you

  275. dodge that bullet, twenty thirty three is only three years

  276. after that. What I'm telling you is true. It's absolutely true.

  277. Like I said, we can prove this more ways than.

  278. One, so that kind of makes you take.

  279. A second look at this doesn't absolutely Matthew.

  280. What what it reminds me of real quick before we continue, Matthew,

  281. that very first verse, it reminds me of when right

  282. they were in the desert being led to the Promised Land,

  283. and they complained because all they had to eat was man,

  284. and they complained because they wanted more water. They complained

  285. that they didn't have the delicacies of Egypt they wanted

  286. instead of wanting to return to the Lord. Like the

  287. first verses here, they wanted to return to Egypt. Matthew.

  288. And we know because of what Jesus has told us

  289. that the birth pangs are going to be far worse

  290. than what they experienced in the desert. Matthew. And you're

  291. going to have brother against brother, mother against daughter. You're

  292. very saying church members that you broke bread with are

  293. going to turn against you. Your very own household is

  294. going to turn against you, Matthew. And Hoseah six here

  295. is telling us we need to return to the Lord,

  296. not long to return to Egypt. So that's what struck

  297. me about that very first verse, Matthew.

  298. You know it triggers a remembrance, Sir, with me about

  299. what the Lord said about it. Numbers chapter fourteen. I

  300. have pardon according to your word. But truly as I live,

  301. or the earth shall be filled with the glory of

  302. the Lord. Because all these men who have seen my

  303. glory and the signs which I did in Egypt and

  304. in the wilderness, and have put me to the test

  305. now these ten times, and have not heeded my voice,

  306. they certainly shall not see the land of which I

  307. swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who

  308. rejected me. See it, that's what you're talking about, right, Damen, everybody,

  309. everybody might want to on their own go over the

  310. first as I just read, because God is very pointed

  311. in what he says about the matter. And you know,

  312. let's talk about this. Verse three has some very controversial

  313. things to say. It says he will come to us

  314. like the early and late rain comes through the earth.

  315. Now we've all heard, all of us that study end

  316. time Bible prophecy have heard about this infamous latter reign,

  317. right right. It's funny though they never quote this verse

  318. in relationship to it, do they.

  319. Right, he is.

  320. Literally coming out and telling you that after two thousand

  321. years you will receive the lot of rain. When's the

  322. last time you heard that, Jose, I haven't, Matthew, you've

  323. never heard that? No, Now we can, you know, go

  324. to online sources and get entire curriculum on the latter rain.

  325. Can't wait, right, I mean, the charismatics are all over it, right, Yet,

  326. it's funny. Out of any charismatic person I've ever talked to,

  327. dealt with, went to church with them, sat in the pews,

  328. none of them could ever say, hey, two thousand years

  329. after the crucifixion, when's the latter range can fall? But

  330. yet Jose just come right out and said that, yeah,

  331. we did some trick questions, can we hose you want to?

  332. So you're in big trouble if you don't know this question.

  333. But anyway, how many people were present when the former

  334. reign was emptied out in the upper room In the

  335. opening chapters of Acts, how many people were there?

  336. Boy? Well, I know there was there was five hundred

  337. witnesses to the resurrection, But now I don't know that exactly.

  338. Iber Matthew, really you don't.

  339. The opening chapters of Acts says it was one hundred

  340. and twenty people.

  341. Amen.

  342. Okay, that usually takes people by surprise, but yes it does.

  343. I mean those of you who are saturated in scripture,

  344. does this should be common knowledge? Acts, Chapter one, verse fifteen.

  345. And in those days Peter stood up in the midst

  346. of his disciples altogether the number of names, which was

  347. about one hundred and twenty. So when it happened, then, Jose,

  348. you realize the entirety of the Holy Spirit was concentrated

  349. into the one hundred and twenty people. Did you realize that?

  350. Amen? Amen?

  351. Right? So as you proceed through the Book of Acts,

  352. it says that the number gets bigger and bigger and

  353. bigger and bigger and bigger, right, right, So that is

  354. to say, from this event, it was so concentrated in

  355. this small of the group that hungus the fire appeared, right, correct, Well,

  356. it says that, you know, it says here and there

  357. that there was three hundred added, and this number was added,

  358. and that number was added. So right now we've got

  359. Christians in Russia, right, Yes, we have Christians in South Africa, right, Yes,

  360. we have Christians in Mexico, right, correct. So now we've

  361. went from about one hundred and twenty individual people in

  362. the former reign to let's say, one hundred and twenty

  363. million people, right right. Do you see where I'm getting at?

  364. You don't, do you, ladies and gentlemen. You're sitting there

  365. biting your lip, thinking to yourself. Something's not right as

  366. I speak. Something's making you uneasy because it's right in

  367. front of your face and you can't see it. You

  368. refuse it. You've rejected his words so long that when

  369. you read it it does not sulturate your psyching. You rejected.

  370. I just made reference to the simple fact that what

  371. the Lord Jesus Christ describes being the birth pangs line

  372. up with the seals in Revelation chapter six. Now, if

  373. you're wondering what these equations were about, let me start

  374. reading from the fifth Seal, Revelation, chapter six, verse nine.

  375. How are we going to get back to that? My

  376. concentration per capital? Now, by God, that's a term you know,

  377. isn't it? You know all about per capita, don't you?

  378. When he opened the Fifth sil I saw under the

  379. altar the souls of those who had been slain for

  380. the word of God and for the testimony which they held.

  381. They quite out with a loud voice, saying, how long,

  382. old Lord, hoh, you're true until you judge and avenge

  383. our blood on those who dwell on the earth. You

  384. should know by this language and language that I could

  385. just start spouting off the top of my head, just

  386. just litertered. That's one of your terminology. That's what you

  387. would say. You'd say that this information is littered throughout

  388. the entire New Testament about your trials and testing, right hose, Right, Well,

  389. I'm gonna tell you, ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna tell

  390. you how you're going to get down to such a

  391. such a high concentration per capita because you're going through

  392. the birth pains, and on the other side of it,

  393. there'll be a whole lot fewer occupants of the Holy Spirit.

  394. This is going to trigger a ladder rain sort of ratio.

  395. Did you know that. I'm sorry your Bible prophecy teacher

  396. has been telling you to live your life as if

  397. the Lord Jesus Christ is not going to come back

  398. in your lifetime. You might want to reassess that mentality

  399. because the Lord God shared the promises with jose This

  400. is true, true Oseiah. Right here. He has promised that

  401. two thousand years after the resurrection, we was going to

  402. finish Daniel seventieth week. Now, I know I said it

  403. to you in a strange way. What I'm saying to

  404. you is this that Hoseiah chapter six, verse two is

  405. a promise. That's a promise. And do you know why

  406. God's gonna keep it? Because you can't stop him. No

  407. matter how much you plan for your retirement, you can't

  408. stop him. You can't stop him. You know. I'm gonna

  409. read to you few verses from a simple psalm Psalm

  410. chapter forty four It's not the first time I read

  411. it today. I discussed it earlier today at link with

  412. my wives. Mm hm hm verse twenty two. Yet, for

  413. your sake, we are being killed all day long. We

  414. are counted as sheep for the slaughter. Awake. Why do

  415. you sleep, oh Lord? A rise? Do not cast us

  416. off forever? Why do you hide your face and forget

  417. our affliction and our oppression? For our soul is bowed

  418. down to the day our body changed to the ground.

  419. A rise for our help and redeem us for your

  420. mercy's sake. Now, I'm sorry if no preacher ever declared

  421. this to you, but I'm here to tell you that

  422. if you're one of the ones that are alive and remain,

  423. you're going to go through the birth pains, and eventually

  424. you're going to come to this notion. The only way

  425. you're going to survive this is if he who setteth

  426. upon the throne has not been tuned upon it. Because

  427. the very simple verses I just read to you said

  428. that this is when God was going to arise. What

  429. does arise me?

  430. Jose to stand up, Matthew, Ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna

  431. tell you what's What's gonna happen.

  432. When God stands up, everybody else is gonna eat and dirt. Now,

  433. Jose and I also are obligated to tell you of

  434. what we've done in the past. We've done a series

  435. on the slaughter of the shepherds, and I'm going to

  436. tell you what God says he's gonna do. He's gonna

  437. take these lying clergy and He's going to litter the

  438. planet with their bodies, isn't the Jose.

  439. Yes, like he says here in Oaseiah, Matthew's gonna cut

  440. off the prophets, cut off your profits, the ones that

  441. say what you want to hear.

  442. They pay him good money too, don't they.

  443. Amen.

  444. I was just watching a video clip earlier. Really famous guy.

  445. He decides to, you know, do an ex of Jesus

  446. of Galatians. And the morning of this sermon, you know,

  447. he realizes he's put himself in the trap that uh oh,

  448. he has to talk about marriage in a way he

  449. don't want to hear it. Well, guess what half his

  450. congregation got him walked out. And I guarantee you what happened.

  451. You don't want to know what happened, don't you. His

  452. salary just got cut right, that's a fact. So anyway,

  453. you know, and this is what Joseah was a alluding

  454. to earlier, that that these it doesn't matter what church

  455. you know, politic you're talking about those people in paid

  456. positions that run your local churches. They all say the

  457. same thing. Don't live your life like Jesus is going

  458. to return in it. They want you to live like

  459. the devil and give them good. That's what they want.

  460. They tell you you can live like the devil as

  461. long as you tip them good because if you don't,

  462. they'll stop paying, won't they. Jose Yes, So I for

  463. one am very glad that we got to share this

  464. information with the people who's going to participate in this

  465. program because now they know God come right out and

  466. tell them, after two thousand years, we're going to get

  467. this show on the road. And everybody needs to realize

  468. you a little bit closer than you thought you were,

  469. or should I say another word? That's wrong to say that, right,

  470. because jose you and I both know what they were

  471. really doing. They were hoping. They were hoping it wouldn't

  472. happen in their lifetime, right right, even though the Lord

  473. Jesus Christ and Matthew twenty four said that those people

  474. who are alive and remain, they get the greatest reward,

  475. right amen. I mean, isn't that backwards teaching? Shouldn't everybody?

  476. I know that I was, Jose, and it's probably evident

  477. to most people that it's evident that I was raised

  478. that way, that I was raised the hope that I

  479. actually am alive when I get glorified. That's how I

  480. was raised, Jose, I was. I know this is going

  481. to be a shock to your system. Jose. My parents,

  482. my my my adults, you know, my elders, whatever you

  483. want to call them. The adult people in my life

  484. never encouraged me to go get a rocket science degree

  485. so I could be a millionaire. Never, never, no one

  486. ever encouraged me to go to school to achieve some

  487. lucrative position so I could be wealthy. My dad never

  488. said that, my brothers, my sisters, no adult that I

  489. know that I know in my childhood ever even mention

  490. that to me. I was trained up since the day

  491. I was born to live my life for the Lord

  492. Jesus Christ and to prepare for what he has in

  493. store for me. I'm being as serious as a heart

  494. attack does any of you even know what that is?

  495. Do you even know what that is? Do you know

  496. what the Bible says, God has his designs are for you.

  497. I'm gonna share it with you. Okay, I'm gonna share

  498. it with you. But the first verse you already know.

  499. It's one of the most famous verses that everybody gets

  500. to memorize. It's on pictures everywhere. But it's only part

  501. of it. It's actually three verses. If you don't know

  502. the other two, he been left out in the dark.

  503. So the verses are as follows. And we know that

  504. all things work together for the good to those who

  505. love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

  506. For whom he four knew, he also predestined could be

  507. conformed to the image of his son, that he might

  508. be the first born among many brethren. Moreover, whom he.

  509. Predestined, these he also called, whom he called, these he

  510. also justified, and whom he justified these he also glorified.

  511. Lady's knowing these three verses are how you're supposed to

  512. live your life, because you need to know that. These

  513. verses said that the whole purpose of you being born

  514. again is that you will be conformed to the image

  515. of his sons, Hose. How many times have we shared

  516. the contents of First John Chapter three?

  517. Too many to count, Matthew.

  518. Because it plainly says that if you live like the devil,

  519. you're a child of the devil. I mean, it stills

  520. right outside it right right. Yes, probably upset a lot

  521. of people, haven't, I jose, Yeah, But they need.

  522. To hear it, Matthew. They need to hear the truth.

  523. They need to hear the truth. You know, you probably

  524. didn't hear a lot of this creature when you were

  525. growing up, either, did.

  526. J Jose, not, not the whole extent of what you're saying. No,

  527. I did hear. I did hear some of it. Yes,

  528. that's why I grew up there in the Lord, right.

  529. I wouldn't you don't. You know, you don't come to

  530. this naturally unless it's shown to you, Matthew, because naturally

  531. you want You're worried about your time here on this

  532. earth and making it comfortable and providing for your family,

  533. and you know, trying to, like you said, trying to

  534. get that lucrative position, so you can do that the

  535. best way possible. But growing up a lot of this

  536. stuff was shared with me, and so that put my

  537. focus there instead of instead of Egypt. Matthew. So no,

  538. I had have not heard this whole You know everything

  539. that we study and we go over every week, Matthew.

  540. Know I didn't. I did not get all of it

  541. the way you did, the way you were raised. But

  542. I did get some of it.

  543. Oh. People probably have an unsettling feeling right about now,

  544. don't they if they're reading the news. Yes, I mean

  545. things aren't looking too good, are they.

  546. Nope?

  547. I mean, just for example, I've been reading in the

  548. headlines here lately that the CEO of Walmart Target Home

  549. Depot and Low's come out and said that within three

  550. weeks they're gonna have empty shelves, right right? Has anybody

  551. thought about the logistics of what that means? You know,

  552. you're probably all thinking about your retirement. So I'm gonna

  553. have to give you my Biblical X and Jesus on this, okay,

  554. because I don't know what the Bible actually says. And

  555. it's amazing to me that a lot of INtime ministries

  556. out there because I follow them on social media. It's

  557. like reading the funny papers. Now, a lot of you

  558. might not know what the funny peoples are. But in

  559. the old days, newspapers would come to everybody's house, and

  560. in the newspaper the Sunday edition was cartoons. They were

  561. called the funny papers. So I fall them like then,

  562. the funny papers, because a lot of these INtime ministries

  563. are saying that, you know, American is is mystery Babylon

  564. and that we're going to be destroyed by all of

  565. our enemies. And now we've made enemies with China, so

  566. China's going to destroy us, and that just tickles me pink,

  567. because that's not what the Bible says. I'll tell you

  568. what it says. It says that there comes a time

  569. when all the merchants of the earth weep because their

  570. wares cannot be sold in Babylon anymore, because Babylon is burning, right, Jose,

  571. Right now, what is the number one merchant on a

  572. daily basis drops off millions of tons of freight at

  573. our ports every day? Which merchant is that.

  574. Kind of Matthew?

  575. So what the Book of Revelation is saying is that

  576. China will be the number one person that weeps that

  577. Babylon is burned. Right right, Let me give you a

  578. scenario that makes sense, shall I so does what makes

  579. sense to me? Warehouses will quickly run out if this

  580. runs its course, right, Yes, So this is what option

  581. A could be. There's only one group that has the

  582. money to pay those tariffs and keep this going. I'm

  583. going to shock you. You're not expecting me to say it.

  584. I'm going to say Walmart could pay. Walmart has the

  585. cash to pay for the individual freight that's coming to

  586. their stores, right, Yes, yes, they do have the resources

  587. to do that, don't they. Yep, that's option A that

  588. the corporations which have all the money in the United States,

  589. not the government, the corporations who have all the money,

  590. they'll pay the tariffs themselves. Or b B is that

  591. naturally all these places will immediately increase prices tenfold, right, Hose,

  592. So they'll take a toothbrush and it'll be a dollar.

  593. They'll market to ten dollars, won't they. Right, This will

  594. completely crash the economy. So what they'll do is is

  595. they will try to claim a loss on all their toothbrushes.

  596. The government will allow them to do this in the

  597. first year, which is this year. In the second year,

  598. the government will cut off reimbursements for losses because the

  599. government will know that we need toothbrushes, don't we Jose, yes.

  600. Instead of selling all the toothbrushes, the people who own

  601. these businesses will want to claim a loss on it

  602. and just take them to the landfills. In the second year,

  603. the government will say, you cannot claim as a loss.

  604. You have to mark them down. Now, the next thing

  605. is going to come out of my mouth is going

  606. to chill you to your bone. As you know this

  607. has happened before. It's called insurance fraud. If these business

  608. owners can't claim a loss and they have to mark

  609. it down, there's another good way to recoup all those losses,

  610. aren't there, Jose. You just set your building on fire

  611. now under this scenario, guess what China would do.

  612. Ladies and gentlemen.

  613. You don't sell wares in household, do you, Jose No?

  614. I mean, when's the last time you checked on commercial

  615. real estate? Jose, I have not.

  616. Matthew, you might want to take a look at it

  617. because it ain't looking good, right, It is not looking good.

  618. Commercial real estate is worse off than it was during

  619. the Great Recession. It's worse oft than it was during

  620. the pandemic. Now, look, this is what the Bible actually says.

  621. The kings of the earth, who committed fornication and lived

  622. luxurious with her, will weep and limit for her when

  623. they see the smoke of her burning, standing at a distance,

  624. for fear of her torn hat, saying alas alas that

  625. great city Babylon that made city. For in one hour

  626. your judgment is come. And all the merchants of the

  627. earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one

  628. buys their Where are their merchandise anymore? Merchandise of gold, silver,

  629. precious stones and pearls, and fine linen and purple silk

  630. and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of

  631. object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze,

  632. iron and marble, and cinnamon and incense, and fragrant oil

  633. and freakin sense, wine, oil, fine flour and wheat, battle

  634. and sheep, porsches, cherrichs, bodies and souls of men, ladies

  635. and gentlemen. The merchants were only selling their wares in

  636. commercial buildings. And this is saying. It never states here

  637. in these verses that it was the merchants that act

  638. destroyed Babylon. It says they weep over it, right, Ose, correct,

  639. it sounds like to me, Well, I mean we could

  640. prove it in a court of law. I mean I

  641. could take you back to multiple incidents in multiple city

  642. that we had a rash of fires that turned out

  643. to be insurance fraud. This is common knowledge, right, Yes,

  644. that's literally what this is talking about. The vendors had

  645. burned down their places of business. Therefore, the merchants had

  646. no place to sell their wares.

  647. So just to heads up, we could be in for

  648. some rough water up ahead, right Jose, Yes, Matthew, but

  649. take no, but take no.

  650. The government can't have all of this unsold merchandise because

  651. they've jacked it up ten times. They can't have all

  652. that stuff wind up at the landfill, right right. Has

  653. anybody ever walked you down this thought process before? Jose?

  654. Uh no, Matthew, not not this detailed.

  655. No. Does it make sense? Uh?

  656. Yeah, because all the businesses look at it as just

  657. a profit and loss. They don't. They're gonna see the

  658. best way that they can maximize their profits and limit

  659. their losses. And if they have to bring it all

  660. up and claim it as insurance, that's what they'll do.

  661. I'm gonna give everybody heads up. I'm gonna give you

  662. a term that I know from the food industry. We'll

  663. say it. You're not going to know what it means.

  664. There's people out there in the business that they know

  665. what it means. It's called skin backs. It's called scan backs,

  666. ladies and gentlemen. I don't know if Jose if he

  667. supports me in what I'm about to say, but I

  668. will say it anyway, So please don't blame him for

  669. saying this. Okay, but I'm here to tell you you

  670. better start living your life as if the Second Advent

  671. is going to crash your life. Let me say that again.

  672. I'll say it in a different way. You better start

  673. living your life as if you will be present and

  674. accounted for for the return of Christ. And I need

  675. to inform you of this before that happens. God the

  676. Father is going to do something. We talked about it tonight.

  677. He said he was going to get up. God the

  678. Father is going to get up and he's going to

  679. put all of Jesus's enemies as his footstool. Now listen,

  680. if you don't understand it, that's fine. But what I

  681. just said is the rock solid truth that said numerous

  682. times in the Bible, that the Lord Jesus Christ is

  683. going to stay at the right hand of God the

  684. Father until God the Father places all of his enemies

  685. under his feet. That was to happen before the Second

  686. Advent of Christ. Now you might not understand what that

  687. day looks like, but I will tell you this much.

  688. I promise you. It don't look good. Hose You're closing comments, please, Matthew.

  689. The only thing I have left to add is the

  690. two place names mentioned here in Hoseiah chapter six, Gilead

  691. and Checkham. And when I look at those definitions, Matthew,

  692. for those words from the Hebrew right, Gilead is a

  693. witness heap or a heap of testimony, and Scheckham is

  694. described as the neck, as the place of burdens. And

  695. that should take us immediately to the Book of Revelation,

  696. the fifth Steeld, Matthew, where you have those witnesses, those

  697. martyrs pleading with the Lord to arise, to stand up,

  698. to avenge their blood, to begin the great day of

  699. the Lord, and to begin the great tribulation, Matthew. And

  700. of course that takes us to Revelation thirteen, where we

  701. see what happens to those that hold to the testimony

  702. and to the law, where they have to lose their heads.

  703. And of course that takes us to Revelation chapter twenty, Matthew,

  704. where it tells us the final result of those that

  705. go through that great tribulation. But Matthew, we as the bride,

  706. do not want to be in that place. Matthew. The

  707. Lord tells us how we can avoid being one of

  708. those martyrs, one of those witnesses, And it tells us

  709. here in the very first verse, to rise up early,

  710. go and return to the Lord, our God. And we

  711. still have time to do that, Matthew. We still have

  712. time to repent of all of our sins. We still

  713. have time to turn to the Lord, to believe in

  714. his son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and to live like

  715. a Christian. Matthew, we still have time to do that.

  716. Yes we do, Yes we do. Pose take us out

  717. of here in prayer.

  718. Please, Dear heavenly Father, whom we love and serve, once

  719. again and continually, I thank you for allowing me and

  720. my brother Matthew to gather together to share your word

  721. to the Ecclesia to your church, to your body, to

  722. remind people of what you have said, Lord, to remind

  723. people of the promises you have given us, the numerous

  724. chances that you have shown up us that you favor

  725. mercy over sacrifice, mercy over judgment. And Lord, I please

  726. ask that you put it in our hearts to accept

  727. that mercy, to repent of our sins, to fall down

  728. before you, Lord, and proclaim you and your Son, our God,

  729. to allow the Holy Spirit to enter into us, to

  730. do your work while there is still time. Lord, for

  731. we know that we fall short, but through you we

  732. are able to accomplish what your will on this earth.

  733. And so I just ask daily and continually that you

  734. give us that reminder, Lord, that you put it in

  735. our hearts to be Christians, to be salt, to be

  736. light in this world while we still have time. And

  737. I ask all this in the name of your Son,

  738. our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

  739. Amen in name. Until next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless, godspeed.
