Do you know the Bible is God's Holy Word? Do
-
you know it is inspired, in errant, and infallible? If so, like, share,
-
subscribe and support this podcast. So we are Maranatha Ministries
-
and now Reduction Draweth Nigh. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen, welcome
-
to the program. We are your host jose and Matthew.
-
Tonight we're getting back to the twelve Prophets. Please do
-
remember that in the original manuscripts, it's not twelve minor profits.
-
That's not what it is. It is the Book of
-
twelve Profits. That's what this is, and it's original form.
-
So we're getting back to that tonight. Is five simple verses, right,
-
I mean, this must be a piece of cake, Hoseah.
-
Chapter three is just five verses. I mean, how difficult
-
can that be? So my opening comments are this, Obviously
-
God is wanting you to understand these five verses before
-
you move forward with the Book of Twelve Prophets. It's
-
it's just that simple to me, It's not difficult. However,
-
the modern Church certainly have and takes major umbrage with
-
these with these five verses. So that's my opening comments.
-
Hose have at it. What's what's your opening comment.
-
Yeah, Matthew, you know the the paper copy I have
-
here of the new English translation of the Tip two
-
its it. You know, I'm looking at it just physically.
-
And chapter two and chapter four I kind of written
-
kind of like in that like a poetic form. They
-
look like how how you know how we used to
-
read poems in high school. And that's kind of just
-
visually looking at it. You know, I'm not sure what
-
the heat how the Hebrew is structured. And then you
-
get to chapter three, like Ted, Matthew, it's just a
-
little short chapter right in the middle of these kind
-
of poetic verses and kind of like a like a refrain,
-
kind of like a little pause right in the middle.
-
It's really really interesting to just just physically looking at
-
it the way the way my I see it. But
-
you're right, it's only five verses. You know, how how
-
much can God pack into five verses?
-
Right?
-
We know that that maybe we'll be able to cover
-
it all, right, man, our Matthew, five verses, Maybe we'll
-
get everything in, but uh, you know, I I doubt that.
-
But just just when I when I read through it,
-
and and we'll get into it that but it's just
-
a whole lot being said in this short amount of verses,
-
and again taking us right back to Revelations chapter twelve,
-
taking us to where the gospels that that that's where
-
it took me, Matthew. But so much packed into these verses.
-
It's it's amazing it always did that. That's why, that's
-
why I love getting with you, Matthew and looking at
-
these verses.
-
You know, I've got to say this, Yes, you're right.
-
The way that the lexamiso steptuogen habit is correct, because
-
what you're saying, they are set to verse this chapter
-
is not This is just dictation. This is not that verse.
-
So yes, the other, the other, the the the prophecy
-
portions that is set to poetic verse. And I want
-
everybody else to know this, if you're embedded in the text,
-
there are massive chiasms going on. Now. Just so you understand,
-
Chaiasm comes from the Greek, the Greek letter for chiasm,
-
which you see as an X, the Greek letter kai.
-
It's it's actually an X because what God does in
-
the verse is is he creates a mirror image of it.
-
So the first part is the reverse. In the second
-
part of the verses, the kiasms are all over, Jose.
-
I mean, just take note. There's one in chapter one,
-
actually two in chapter one, and of course chapter two
-
there are two. One is in three to thirteen, was
-
in twelve through eighteen. There is no chiasms here in
-
chapter three. There is no chiasms in chapter four. So
-
mechanically speaking, you should be able to pan way out,
-
step way back and realize that whatever he's going to say,
-
it is going to be very direct, and he's probably
-
going to put this everywhere. What he's getting ready to say,
-
let me say that again, he's probably going to put
-
it everywhere. So these are hard hitting verses. This narrative
-
is absolutely against the law, right, Jose. I mean, when
-
you know the six hundred and thirteen laws of the Torah,
-
this is absolutely against the entire pentitude. It's what God
-
tells him to do is unlawful. Correct, correct? I mean,
-
there's no way to put it. What he tells Hoseah
-
to do is unlawful, but he has to do it
-
anyway to fulfill well, to fulfill the narrative of what
-
is to come. So you want to read this or
-
shall I?
-
Yeah, I can read it, Matthew, go for it. And
-
the Lord said to me, go again and love a
-
woman who loves evil thing and is an adulterate, just
-
as God loved the sons of Israel. But they look
-
down to foreign God, and they love cakes with dried grapes.
-
So I hired her for myself, for fifteen pieces of silver,
-
and the homer of barley corned and a vessel of wine.
-
And I said to her, you will sit with me
-
for many days, and you will not prostitute yourself nor
-
become a man. And I will be with you, because
-
the sons of Israel will remain for many days without
-
having a king, without having a ruler, and without having
-
a mode of sacrifice, and without having an altar or
-
priesthood or manifestation. And after these things, the sons of
-
Israel will return and they will seek after the Lord
-
their God, and David their King, and they will be
-
amazed at the Lord. And that is good thing in
-
the last days.
-
What's your thoughts on that I've that?
-
I mean, Matthew, I can't help but look at this woman,
-
woman as well as the Church making herself ready. We
-
know it's described in the Book of Revelation, the Letters
-
to the Seven churches where God lays out the sins
-
of those churches. God lays out where they're doing good,
-
but he also give them the warning to retent before
-
that great and terrible day. And so when I see
-
this woman described here, Matthew, I mean, it is the
-
church that we see today, Matthew. Yes there's godly people
-
in there. Yes there's Christian people in there, you know,
-
trying to follow the commandment. But we also know, Matthew,
-
there's a lot of bad shepherds that are leading the
-
flock astray. So I think that's my starting point here, Matthew,
-
with trying to understand prophetically with being said here.
-
Which is you know, which is I absolutely agree with
-
your commentary there. And you know verse four is pretty
-
hard hitting here, because the sons of Israel will remain
-
for many days without having a king, and without having
-
a ruler, and without having a mode of sacrifice, and
-
without having an altar, a priesthood or manifestations. Right, you know,
-
there is no doubt that this bores into the brain
-
of the feet of Abraham. You know, they should realize
-
this must be talking about Daniel's prophecy of seventy weeks.
-
There's no way around it. This must be describing exactly
-
what was prophesied to them, told to them directly by
-
God via Gabriel, via Daniel, in high definition, in fantast detail.
-
I mean this is this is answered in Daniel chapter nine,
-
verses twenty through twenty seven. This is the seventy weeks prophecy.
-
They are told exactly when this is going to happen.
-
And verse five and after these things, the sons of
-
Israel will return, and they will seek after the Lord
-
their God, and David their king, and they will be
-
massed at the Lord and the good things in the
-
last days. Make no mistake about it. Verse five comes
-
right out and tells you these things will extend to
-
the end of day. And of course, when you read
-
Daniel chapter nine, verses twenty, you're twenty seven. When did
-
you read this? It's pretty easy. It is saying that
-
in the seventieth week, in the middle of the week,
-
the Messiah prince will be cut off. They know the
-
last days. They know the last days is that last
-
three and a half years. They know that right from
-
these versus dead bang. They know it straight from these verses. Now,
-
history bears that out. History absolutely proves that unequivocally does
-
it prove that many people, you know, when they really
-
know the calculations for this, it really does bottle the mind,
-
It really does. So take tho, let's just take a
-
moment to do this. Okay, when you read that, I'm
-
not going to read the whole thing. But in Darren,
-
chapter nine, verse twenty four, Gabriel says that seventy sevens
-
are decreed for your people in your holy city. The
-
seventy sevens is understood to be seventy weeks of years,
-
in other words, a period of four hundred and ninety years.
-
This prophecy provides a parabolic clock that gives when the
-
Messiah would come and some of the events that would
-
accompany his first advent. Now, the prophecy goes on to
-
divide four hundred ninety years into smaller units, one of
-
forty nine years, one of four hundred and thirty four years,
-
and one of seven years. The final week of seven
-
years is further divided in half. Verse twenty five says,
-
no one understand that from the going forth to the
-
command to restore and build Jerusalem Utili the Prince, there
-
shall be seven weeks in sixty two weeks seven seven
-
to forty nine years, and sixty two seven is another
-
four hundred and thirty four years. So the forty nine
-
plus the four thirty four is four hundred and eighty
-
three years. This dead bank that this calculation, make no
-
mistakes when you know to convert the years into three
-
hundred and fifty day years. This dead bang's from the
-
issue of the decree from adamser Fief. It terminates right
-
at the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem in thirty
-
three eighty. That's a fact, I'm telling you. Mathematical. Yes,
-
that's that simple. Now, I just likely mentioned that the
-
final week is cut the hand. When you know this,
-
When you know this, you understand your eye can be open.
-
As to verse five of the Hoseh chapter three, and
-
I'll read it for you again, it says, and after
-
these things, the sons of Israel will return, and they
-
will seek after the Lord their God, and David their king,
-
and they will be amazed at the Lord and that
-
his good things in the lap days. Now take note,
-
we need to figure out what Israel is. So I'm
-
going to ask Hose a very simple question, Hose, how
-
many tribes are in Israel.
-
Yeah, that's a right man. In the Old Testament, of
-
course we have the twelve with the additional one added.
-
But the New Testament tells us Matthew that Israel is Christian.
-
That's right, So that is to say there's twelve right right?
-
Yeah? Uh huh.
-
Why does everybody in the Western Church. Why is it
-
that a lot of them think that there's only.
-
One tribe Judah right right?
-
And they actually preach and teach that we will be
-
reintegrated into the Jews, we will be put into the
-
tribe of Judah. No, that's not what this says. It
-
says that those that are left in Israel. Okay, we
-
can go to Jeremiah, chapter thirty one and verse thirty one,
-
and God comes right out and says that the New
-
Covenant will be for the for Judah and Israel, letting
-
you know that's the two sticks that's going to be
-
joined together. We of course are Israel. Which versons say
-
that in any jestinate? First off, three full chapter says
-
that Romans nine ten eleven, right, ose, right, I mean,
-
you can't get around those verses. We we become those
-
lost tribes and the tribe of Judah. Gets reintegrated into us,
-
not the other way around. Now, this is fulfillment theology.
-
That's what it is. If you teach something else, you're rejections.
-
You have rejected. The Bible is God's totally work. We
-
are acceptionist. We accept what the Bible says. We accept
-
it no matter what it says. That's what we believe.
-
So if you think there is another way for anyone
-
to enter the Kingdom Heaven outside of the Lord Jesus Christ,
-
you're rejectionist. And unfortunately, I would say afterwards of half,
-
if not more than half, of the Church in the
-
West firmly believe that what the dispensationalists say are true,
-
that after return of Christ those Jews that did not
-
accept him will be automatically converted. That is a lie
-
straight out of the devil's mouth, is what that is.
-
So it's pretty important that everybody real life is here.
-
That well, when you look at it this way, it
-
makes sense that, well, his wife was a wife of parlatry, right,
-
because you would certainly say that the Gentiles was not
-
in the promise, and you would the best way to
-
relate this message to Israel, to the Israelites since then
-
I'm going to kick you to the curb and I
-
will take you back up again. Right. I mean, what
-
other way could you say it to them that they
-
would understand this? Ose?
-
Right?
-
So that's my opening commentary.
-
What say you, well, Matthew, I think with that first
-
verse that that's where it took me exactly what you
-
just explained, because when I read about how they loved
-
cakes and dried said reminded me of the Eccodus when
-
when they Israelites there were complaining about eating only manna,
-
and they wanted to go back to Egypt and need
-
all the better the finer food supposed to eat that
-
they had in Egypt.
-
Right.
-
And Jesus addresses this in John chapter six, Matthew or
-
verse thirty one, where he says, our fathers ate the
-
mana in the desert. As it is written, he gave
-
them bread from heaven to eat. Then Jesus said, to
-
the most security, I say to you, Modes did not
-
give you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives
-
you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of
-
God is he who comes down from heaven and gives
-
likes to the world. And of course, Matthew, you know
-
when we continue reading this chapter, he said that that
-
bread is is the everlasting life. If we wanted, we're
-
supposed to eat it, and that that bread is the
-
Lord jesuscribes himself, Matthew. And you know what did the
-
Jews at that time say? They rejected it. They said,
-
how can this be possible? And like you mentioned before,
-
he's cut off, so that well, that that opportunity they had,
-
that that that take the bread right then they rejected
-
it just the same way that their fathers did in
-
the desert, Matthew. And so thankfully God provided the way
-
for those sons to return in the in the last days,
-
just like you were describing their Matthew. But you know,
-
even the gospel stories here reflects what we're reading here
-
in Hosea chapter three.
-
It does, It absolutely does, and you know it it
-
it It is hard hammering as the parable of the
-
wicked vine Dressers in Matthew chapter twenty one, verses thirty
-
three through forty four, that's really what he's saying here.
-
So let's let's take a read of that. So the
-
Parable of the Wicked vine Dressers Matthew, chapter twenty one,
-
starting in verse thirty three, the new King James version
-
by the here another parable. There was a certain plan
-
owner who planted a vineyard and set a hatch around it,
-
dug a winepress and built a tower, and he leased
-
it the vine dressers and went into a far country. Now,
-
when the village time drew near, he and his servants
-
to the vine dresser, that they might receive its fruit.
-
As if vine dressers took his servants, beat one, killed, one,
-
stoned another. Again, he sent other servants more than the first,
-
and they did likewise to them. Then, last of all
-
he sends near son for them, saying they will respect
-
my son. But when the vine dressers saw the son,
-
they said to themselves, visit the heir, come, let us
-
kill him and seize his inheritance. So they took him
-
and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. Therefore,
-
when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he
-
do to those vine dressers, they said to him, He
-
will just those wicked men miserably, and lee is vineyard
-
to other fine dressers, who will render to him the
-
fruits in their season. Jesus said to them, have you
-
never read the scriptures? The stone which the builders rejected
-
has become the chief cornerstone. This was the Lord's doing,
-
and it is marvelous in your eyes. Therefore, I say
-
to you, the Kingdom of God will be taken from
-
you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it.
-
And whoever falls on the stone will be broken, but
-
on whomever it falls it will grind him the power.
-
So this verse, these verses, that's coming out of the
-
mouth of the Lord Jesus Christ telling these people, telling
-
the Jews, God was going to do this thing and
-
give it to another nation. We all know there's the
-
only other nation than Israel is the Gentiles. You're either
-
one or the other. You're a Jew or you're a Gentile.
-
At this point we know. This is why the Greek
-
text integrades that integrade to this idea of you're either
-
Jew or Greek. Because the whole world's been helenized. I mean,
-
if you if you go to anywhere on this planet
-
and go to their education system, guess what, so you
-
thought Russian schools were different than you. Yeah, the whole
-
planet's been hellenized. So when you realize what he's saying
-
here and you go to that chapter and you realize, well,
-
they immediately knew that he was talking about them from
-
that point orward. They were going to cut him off,
-
exactly like God relayed to Gabriel, relaid to Daniel, relayed
-
to you that the Messiah of the Prince would be
-
cut off in the middle of the week. And that
-
is exactly what they did. Exactly what they did. You know,
-
I didn't finish the chapter, but you need to understand.
-
That's why what comes after that parable comes the way
-
it does. And I'm sorry it does that, but that
-
is the truth. Let me go there right now and
-
read it so you can hear the rest of it.
-
The final two verses of this. Now take note before
-
it's the parable I just read to you. He was
-
directing these comments to did you verse forty five. Now,
-
when the chief priest and pharisees hurt his parables, they
-
perceived that he was speaking of them. But when they
-
sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitudes
-
because they took him for a prophet. From this point forward,
-
he tells them, he basically reiterates what Hoseah chapter three states,
-
but hey, this is going to happen. You don't have
-
to like it. And from that point forward they sought
-
to lay their hands on him. They were going to
-
kill him. They were going to fulfill Daniel chapter nine,
-
verses twenty through twenty seven. You know it doesn't stop here.
-
I mean, let's go to Matthew chapter eight, verses ten
-
through thirteen. When Jesus heard it, he marveled and said
-
to those who followed assuredly, I say to you, I
-
have not found such great faith, not even in Israel.
-
And I say to you that many will come from
-
east and west and sit down with Abraham, Isaac and
-
Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven. But the son of
-
the Kingdom will be asked into outer darkness. There will
-
be a weeping and national peace. Then Jesus said to
-
the centurion, go your way, and as you have believed, so,
-
let it be done for you. And his servant was
-
healed that same hour. Here Jesus comes out and tells
-
the Jews, but the Sons the Kingdom will be cast
-
out into the outer darkness, showing you point blank range
-
once again, the Jews would have to be reintegrated into
-
Israel and Israel here it states everybody from the rising
-
of the sun to the studying of the sun. It's
-
that way and it's no other way. Consider this, Okay,
-
consider this Romans Chapter two, verses twenty six through twenty nine. Therefore,
-
if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law,
-
will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision, and will
-
not the physically uncircumcised if he fulfills the law. Judge, you, who,
-
even with your written code and circumcision, are transgressor of
-
the law. Court. He is not a Jew who is
-
one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in
-
the flesh. But he is a Jew who is one
-
in wordly, And circumcision is that of the heart, in
-
the spirit, not in the letter, whose praise is not
-
from men but from God. You can't get it any
-
clearer than that, can y Jose?
-
Nope?
-
I mean, that's that's pretty straightforward. That Israel, the new Israel.
-
You're going to have to be born again. You're going
-
to have to be born of the spirit, not just
-
born of a water baptism. You must be born in
-
the spirit. You must be born again. That's what it is.
-
It's not a circumcising of the flesh. It's a circumcising
-
of your heart. It is repentance. In Greek, repentance is
-
not translated as an apology. You don't apology. That Greek
-
word means to change the mind. You go from living
-
a life of sin to living a life without sinning.
-
It's it's pretty easy. That's that's who Israel is from
-
this point forward.
-
Jose your thoughts, Yeah, Matthew, I think that that matches
-
what I would think you when I was reading it. Again,
-
just by taking us directly to the Gospel, knowing the
-
way the events transpire there, knowing that they do reject
-
the Lord Jesus Christ, and again that that opens the
-
door for the gentile, that opens the door for the
-
rest of like we've been describing. But we're also told,
-
Matthew that in order for the Jews to be in
-
order for that stick to be rejoined, they have to
-
come to believe in the Lord j is Christ, that
-
he is God and that he is their savior. You know,
-
That's that's the way God laid out his plan, the
-
way the way things are going to transpire. But Matthew,
-
when I when I jumped down to verse three, and
-
it's talking about this woman sitting for many days and
-
not prostituting herself. It takes you to that, to that tabernacle, Matthew.
-
It takes you to that time when that woman has
-
taken to that place that is prepared and one in
-
their Matthew, the woman is not going to prosecute herself
-
for for two main reasons. One because she's taken to
-
the place of protection away from the bad shepherd. But
-
to Matthew, if you do try to prostitute yourself in
-
this location, there is an angel there, Matthew that will
-
not forgive you. So it's not even physically Paul fromble
-
to propts to yourself in that place that's been prepared
-
in that tabernacle that that we're told about in Revelation
-
chapter seven. So that's that's immediately because because Matthew, how,
-
I mean you know that whatever church, church or church members, Matthew,
-
how how can we not sind we're sealming. We're in
-
the flesh and yes, where where that natural man is
-
dying daily and that spiritual man is growing. But I mean, Matthew,
-
we're not perfect, right, We're gonna, we're gonna, We're gonna sind,
-
we're gonna air. But boy, Matthew, when you're in that
-
place prepared. That's not what you want to do. That's
-
not even something you want to enter into your thoughts,
-
into your heart, let alone anywhere into your body. Matthew.
-
So that that's what I thought of when I read
-
that birth.
-
And you know time is gonna be cut short for that,
-
right right. Yes, Now I'm gonna say something that might
-
upset some people. But believe me, I can quote the
-
chapter in verses, so please believe what I'm saying. It's
-
reduced from forty two years to forty two months. Let
-
me qualify that. Yes, from the point that the Spies
-
come back and the children of Israel rejected the point
-
of the report, from that point until they crossed the
-
Jordan was in fact forty years. However, when you saturate
-
yourself with scripture and gets yourself something right, with something
-
to write on and add it up. There's forty two
-
stations in the wilderness, just so you know, and you
-
can chronicle one year and five months they were wandering
-
before they ever received the report from the spies. Now
-
you need to no one understand this. There's a couple
-
of places in there that the Bible does not record.
-
How long they stayed there, So you need to understand
-
it was forty two years. That's probably a shock to
-
some people. But yes, I've made the verses publicly available
-
many times on many posts I've posted all across social
-
media for the past fifteen years. Okay, if you want
-
those exact chapters and verses, by all means, ask me,
-
I will supply them to you. So you need to
-
understand that what came out of Jose's mouth will occur again.
-
What did Jose chapters through verse FIVEE say out of
-
his good things in the last day in the lap day?
-
So you should no one understand that in the laft
-
days you'll be in this place that Jose just described.
-
It's got more than one name in the Bible. He
-
calls it his vineyard, he calls it his pasture, right, Jose.
-
We have done programs on this at Lenks right, right, So,
-
ladies and gentlemen, it's important that you know that that's
-
what's being talked about. You need to understand the whole
-
reason why time, times and a halftime is used in Daniel.
-
As you're supposed to know, he repeatedly states that is
-
the end time. That's why the book of revelation is
-
for time, time and halftime. It is three and a
-
half years. It's three and a half years of it's
-
it's prophetic years. Okay, because time is going to be different,
-
then you need to understand that things are going to
-
be different. Then in that, in that there's not going
-
to be variable days in the month. There will be
-
thirty days exactly, and forty two of them, which equal
-
one thousand and sixty days. But once you wrap your
-
mind around that, you realize what these scriptures you're saying.
-
They're saying that the first three and a half years
-
of Daniels seventy weeks, that last week, that seventieth week,
-
it was the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. You
-
can prove this beyond shouted out, because John records the
-
Lord Jesus having and visiting three passovers. All scholars accept this.
-
This is not debated. They know Jesus earthly ministry was
-
three and a half years, and that means you've got
-
three and a half years to go. That's what it means.
-
That's what it means. Well, have a lot to digest,
-
but no one understands what this just said. Hosea, Chapter three,
-
verse five. And after these things, the sons of Israel
-
will return, and they will seek ask of the Lord
-
their God and David their King, and they will be
-
amazed at the Lord and at his good things in
-
the last day. The good things that will happen to
-
you in the last days will truly amaze you, because
-
in the middle of the Great Tribulation, Revelation chapter seven,
-
verses nine through seventeen, will come true. Did I shock you?
-
Yes?
-
Revelation Chapter seven, verses nine through seventeen plainly describe these events.
-
They plainly described that you're going to be gathered together
-
at what the Bible calls the Tabernacle of Davy, and
-
that's what you'll be for their duration of the tribulation.
-
That's what it says. That's what it means. That's what
-
it only says. I've never found it to say anything else,
-
have you hoped? They?
-
Nope?
-
It really is pretty cut and dry, simple. So what
-
about these other verses we've concentrated on these? What is
-
your thoughts on verse two?
-
I haven't dug too much into that, Matthew. I do
-
you notice that there are three items discussed here, dover,
-
barley and the wine, but no I have not dug
-
into that verse.
-
You're right, it stands out that there's three different things here,
-
right right. Tell me how many end time entities are
-
related to Israel. It's in Revelation chapter twelve. There's three, Matthew,
-
there's three.
-
Amen, Amen, go.
-
Ahead, spell them out.
-
That there's the woman hm, the male child, and the
-
rest of her children.
-
It's that thing and it is no other thing is there?
-
So literally, isn't he coming out and telling you here
-
he's prophetically riddling to you there's going to be three groups. Yeah,
-
there's going to be three groups. Now, just so you know,
-
the Bible kind of always says that, but here it'll
-
kind of sticky in the eye. It's like, for I mean,
-
what stands out to you with this, Jose? I mean,
-
let's let's let's talk about this this list, because it
-
really kind of don't make sense. Right. So you have
-
some you have some money, right, and then you have
-
some grain, and then you have I mean you would
-
expect to have maybe some fruit and some vegetables, right,
-
but no, you have grain and then you have wine.
-
So you know, what do you make of that?
-
Host?
-
This is three completely different things, completely great?
-
Right?
-
Yeah?
-
I mean, you know, matt, Matthew, other than the barley,
-
we know the process to make that into bread, right,
-
the process that's involved there, you know, you you crust,
-
you grind, you do all there to come out with
-
the bread. And with the wine. You have to tread
-
the grape to get the wine. You know, those two
-
kind of seemed like like a changing process, you know,
-
an initial destroying the initial product to come out with
-
something new. That's right, you know, right, the fifteen pieces
-
of goverer, matt You can't help but think about the
-
thirty pieces of silver that was given to the judas
-
for betraying the Lord. So you know, and of course
-
we know that what happened there was had to happen,
-
and we get our salvation because of it, Matthew, but
-
you know, it was a terrible betrayal that that happened
-
to the Lord for those those those pieces of silver.
-
So that's just my immediate thought on what I'm reading here.
-
And I agree, you know, I almost say something You're
-
probably not gonna like it, but can I say it anyway?
-
Amen? Amen?
-
The Vedica's chapter twenty seven, verse seven were ridiculous. Chapter
-
twenty seven, verse seven and maybe I should just go
-
ahead and jump over there in the lexum English sebtuagen
-
just take me in second. Okay, So this is what
-
it says, and if the person is from sixty years
-
old and over, if he is a male, the value
-
will be fifteen droughness of silver and his femle ten droughness.
-
Did I get your attention, ladies and gentlemen. I mean
-
this is obviously tied together, and you need to understand
-
that this is in the diatribe Leviticus, chapter twenty seven.
-
It details the redeeming of things consecrated to God. Oh yeah,
-
that was talking about a male and a female that
-
had been consecrated to God. Let me, yes, I'd probably
-
ride people's cage, haven't I? Hose?
-
Amen? Amen?
-
I mean, because nobody thought to actually look where else
-
fifteen pieces of silver would be used? But there it is,
-
right there in the middle. So hoose, why don't you
-
go to Levitica's chapter twenty seven, and why don't you
-
read that first part there? Read down the verse thirteen
-
because I think it's going to prove interesting. So starting
-
wear Matthew, starting the first verse of Levedica twenty seven,
-
the whole thing until thirteen until thirteen verse thirteen. That's
-
that first paragraph.
-
There, okay, So Leviticus twenty seven. And the Lord spoke
-
to mode the thing. Speak to the sons of Israel,
-
and say to them, whoever vows a vow concerning the
-
value of his life to the Lord. The value of
-
the male will be From twenty years up to sixty
-
years old, his value will be fifty dropmodl of silver
-
according to the measure of the same stuary. But the
-
valuation of the female will be thirty the draftman. But
-
if the person is from five years old to twenty
-
years old, the value of the male will be twenty
-
drapma and the female fourteen the dragmas. And from a
-
month old to five years old, the value of the
-
male will be five to drapmas of silver, and of
-
the female three the drapmas. And if the person is
-
from sixty years old and over, if he is the male,
-
the value will be fifteen to drop months of silver,
-
and this female ten to drakmas. But if the person
-
is too poor for the valuation, he will stand before
-
the priest, and the priest will evaluate him according to
-
the strength of the hand of the one who makes
-
a vow, the priest will determine an evaluation for him.
-
But if it is brought forth from the livestock from
-
their gifts to the Lord, whoever may give from these
-
to the Lord, it will be holy. He will not
-
exchange it good for bad, or detective for healthy. But
-
if he actually does end up changing it animal for animal,
-
it and the exchanged animal will be holy. And if
-
it is any unclean animal from which none are offered
-
as the gift of the Lord, he will prease and
-
the animal before the priest, and the priest will determine
-
the valuation for it between good value and between bad value.
-
And however the priest should value it, so it shall
-
dad and then redeeming he may redeem it. He will
-
add a fifth to its value.
-
So here in this verse the fifteen pieces of silver.
-
Thank no, this was the lowest described value, right right,
-
the lowest described value sixty years and over right. Yep, Well,
-
I'll say this, ladies and gentlemen, as you were wondering,
-
you were wondering what the first eight verses in Revelation
-
chapter verse seven was about. Now you know, Now you
-
know one of these groups have proven to be worthless
-
and if you need more information of that, look this up.
-
The series that jose and I did on the Slaughter
-
of the Shepherds. Now they're mentioned first because we'll in
-
the first resurrection, which is the beam a seed of Christ,
-
what you call the judgment seed of Christ. See, there's
-
two resurrections on the first resurrection is the judgment seat
-
of Christ. The second resurrection is a thousand years later,
-
and it is the resurrection of the unrighteous. So at
-
the first resurrection, there is a group labeled there that
-
had been beheaded because they would not or could not,
-
I mean via Revelation chapter seven, it could not, they
-
could not take the mark of the beast because they'd
-
been sealed by God. It is this group that have
-
to rule and reign with Christ. They are called those
-
of the First Resurrection. They are not like your ancestors
-
that have entered the rest. The Bible plainly calls those
-
people Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And you know, your mother
-
if she was saved, your your father if he was saved,
-
your grandma and grandpa. The Bible calls those people those
-
who sleep in Jesus. This group, however, are called the
-
dead in Christ. Completely different phraseologies from the New Testament
-
completely different. This is that group, and they are valued
-
at basically their skin value. They're valued at only fifteen
-
pieces of silver. And didn't you like how it said
-
those strange words? Just said it strange about that? Let
-
me let me read we say this, okay, but if
-
the person is too poor for the valuation, he will
-
stand before the priest, and the priest will evaluate him
-
according to the strength of his hand. Does that bother you?
-
Now that you know how they're going to die? Because
-
you receive the mark of the beast, either on the
-
head or on the white hurdan a man on the hand.
-
It's all right here encoded what you need to know,
-
literally all of it. It's all right here now. Unfortunately
-
we didn't get time to get into these two other things.
-
But once I point it out to you, Jose, you
-
have the wherewithal to Hey, we need to try to
-
figure out what the other two.
-
Items are, right amen? Amen?
-
And you're right. They have to be crushed, don't they. Yeah,
-
whether you're making bread or whether you're making wine, they
-
must be trampled or crushed. They must be they must
-
be refined, right.
-
Amen.
-
They must be refined. Now silver is different, right, Silver
-
must be refined by slagging in a furnace, right. Yeah,
-
but that's a great, big difference, great big difference. I mean,
-
it's one thing to be crushed and pulverized, it's another
-
thing to be burned. So it's very important that you
-
latch on to this phraseology what he's trying to relate
-
to you. It's extremely important that you realize he's saying
-
all of this for a reason. So let me say
-
it again. It states, so why I hired her for
-
myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer of
-
barley corns and a vessel of wine. I bet.
-
No.
-
I guarantee you if you want to know the identity
-
of the two other groups, just chase that down. I'm
-
sure you'll be able to come to a conclusion just
-
as quickly as I did about the first group. Jose
-
top of the hour Man. That was a floppin' by verses,
-
wasn't it. Yeah?
-
Yeah, we lightly touched on everything, Matthew, We didn't. We
-
didn't dig in super deep, you know, because uncause I
-
know there's so much more there. But but no, I
-
think I think this is a good a good overall
-
covering of this chapter, but plenty more for ups to
-
dig into. Matthew, absolutely.
-
You know my closing. Come introduce Galatians Chapter three Versus
-
twenty sixth through twenty nine. For you are all sons
-
of God grew faith in Christ Jesus. For as many
-
of you were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
-
There is neither Jew nor Greek. Neither is their slave
-
nor free, neither is their male nor female. You are
-
all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ,
-
then you are Abraham Seed and heirs. According to them.
-
It's that.
-
And if you say something else, you're lying. That's who
-
Israel is. Israel is than anything else. Jose, Can you
-
take us out of here in prayer?
-
Police, if I can, at you, dear heavenly Father, whom
-
I love and serve, and whom I eterney give thanks
-
for all the blessings that I haven't been given. Lord,
-
I thank you once again for allowing me and my
-
brother Matthew to gather together. And I thank you for
-
allowing the rest of your body, your ecclesia, to listen
-
to this message, to listen to the sharing of your word. Lord,
-
And we thank you for providing that for us. Father,
-
I asked today for the health and safety of our families.
-
We know the times are troubling. We know these small
-
tribulations that we're encountering in our life, the small obstacles
-
that can prevent us from staying in your word, from
-
staying near to you, Father, As we're distracted by so
-
many things around us, Lord, I just ask that you
-
take care of our families, that you provide for them,
-
that you are with them also as they go through
-
their struggles, as they encounter health issues, as they encounter
-
problems at work or at school, Lord, reassure them that
-
you are there. Reassure them that they can turn to
-
your son and trust in your Holy Spirit. The Guide
-
didn't protect them farther. Lord, and I also ask for
-
the strength for this ministry to continue in your work. Lord, Again,
-
as we're distracted, as we're encounter so many issues, technical issues,
-
so many issues with our own health. Lord, I just
-
asked that you please provide us strength for the small
-
hour to continue to do your work. Lord. And I
-
ask all of this in the name of your son,
-
our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen, and Amen.
-
Until next time. Ladies and gentlemen, God bless, God speed.
