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

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

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

  4. and now Reduction Draweth Nigh. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen, welcome

  5. to the program. We are your host jose and Matthew.

  6. Tonight we're getting back to the twelve Prophets. Please do

  7. remember that in the original manuscripts, it's not twelve minor profits.

  8. That's not what it is. It is the Book of

  9. twelve Profits. That's what this is, and it's original form.

  10. So we're getting back to that tonight. Is five simple verses, right,

  11. I mean, this must be a piece of cake, Hoseah.

  12. Chapter three is just five verses. I mean, how difficult

  13. can that be? So my opening comments are this, Obviously

  14. God is wanting you to understand these five verses before

  15. you move forward with the Book of Twelve Prophets. It's

  16. it's just that simple to me, It's not difficult. However,

  17. the modern Church certainly have and takes major umbrage with

  18. these with these five verses. So that's my opening comments.

  19. Hose have at it. What's what's your opening comment.

  20. Yeah, Matthew, you know the the paper copy I have

  21. here of the new English translation of the Tip two

  22. its it. You know, I'm looking at it just physically.

  23. And chapter two and chapter four I kind of written

  24. kind of like in that like a poetic form. They

  25. look like how how you know how we used to

  26. read poems in high school. And that's kind of just

  27. visually looking at it. You know, I'm not sure what

  28. the heat how the Hebrew is structured. And then you

  29. get to chapter three, like Ted, Matthew, it's just a

  30. little short chapter right in the middle of these kind

  31. of poetic verses and kind of like a like a refrain,

  32. kind of like a little pause right in the middle.

  33. It's really really interesting to just just physically looking at

  34. it the way the way my I see it. But

  35. you're right, it's only five verses. You know, how how

  36. much can God pack into five verses?

  37. Right?

  38. We know that that maybe we'll be able to cover

  39. it all, right, man, our Matthew, five verses, Maybe we'll

  40. get everything in, but uh, you know, I I doubt that.

  41. But just just when I when I read through it,

  42. and and we'll get into it that but it's just

  43. a whole lot being said in this short amount of verses,

  44. and again taking us right back to Revelations chapter twelve,

  45. taking us to where the gospels that that that's where

  46. it took me, Matthew. But so much packed into these verses.

  47. It's it's amazing it always did that. That's why, that's

  48. why I love getting with you, Matthew and looking at

  49. these verses.

  50. You know, I've got to say this, Yes, you're right.

  51. The way that the lexamiso steptuogen habit is correct, because

  52. what you're saying, they are set to verse this chapter

  53. is not This is just dictation. This is not that verse.

  54. So yes, the other, the other, the the the prophecy

  55. portions that is set to poetic verse. And I want

  56. everybody else to know this, if you're embedded in the text,

  57. there are massive chiasms going on. Now. Just so you understand,

  58. Chaiasm comes from the Greek, the Greek letter for chiasm,

  59. which you see as an X, the Greek letter kai.

  60. It's it's actually an X because what God does in

  61. the verse is is he creates a mirror image of it.

  62. So the first part is the reverse. In the second

  63. part of the verses, the kiasms are all over, Jose.

  64. I mean, just take note. There's one in chapter one,

  65. actually two in chapter one, and of course chapter two

  66. there are two. One is in three to thirteen, was

  67. in twelve through eighteen. There is no chiasms here in

  68. chapter three. There is no chiasms in chapter four. So

  69. mechanically speaking, you should be able to pan way out,

  70. step way back and realize that whatever he's going to say,

  71. it is going to be very direct, and he's probably

  72. going to put this everywhere. What he's getting ready to say,

  73. let me say that again, he's probably going to put

  74. it everywhere. So these are hard hitting verses. This narrative

  75. is absolutely against the law, right, Jose. I mean, when

  76. you know the six hundred and thirteen laws of the Torah,

  77. this is absolutely against the entire pentitude. It's what God

  78. tells him to do is unlawful. Correct, correct? I mean,

  79. there's no way to put it. What he tells Hoseah

  80. to do is unlawful, but he has to do it

  81. anyway to fulfill well, to fulfill the narrative of what

  82. is to come. So you want to read this or

  83. shall I?

  84. Yeah, I can read it, Matthew, go for it. And

  85. the Lord said to me, go again and love a

  86. woman who loves evil thing and is an adulterate, just

  87. as God loved the sons of Israel. But they look

  88. down to foreign God, and they love cakes with dried grapes.

  89. So I hired her for myself, for fifteen pieces of silver,

  90. and the homer of barley corned and a vessel of wine.

  91. And I said to her, you will sit with me

  92. for many days, and you will not prostitute yourself nor

  93. become a man. And I will be with you, because

  94. the sons of Israel will remain for many days without

  95. having a king, without having a ruler, and without having

  96. a mode of sacrifice, and without having an altar or

  97. priesthood or manifestation. And after these things, the sons of

  98. Israel will return and they will seek after the Lord

  99. their God, and David their King, and they will be

  100. amazed at the Lord. And that is good thing in

  101. the last days.

  102. What's your thoughts on that I've that?

  103. I mean, Matthew, I can't help but look at this woman,

  104. woman as well as the Church making herself ready. We

  105. know it's described in the Book of Revelation, the Letters

  106. to the Seven churches where God lays out the sins

  107. of those churches. God lays out where they're doing good,

  108. but he also give them the warning to retent before

  109. that great and terrible day. And so when I see

  110. this woman described here, Matthew, I mean, it is the

  111. church that we see today, Matthew. Yes there's godly people

  112. in there. Yes there's Christian people in there, you know,

  113. trying to follow the commandment. But we also know, Matthew,

  114. there's a lot of bad shepherds that are leading the

  115. flock astray. So I think that's my starting point here, Matthew,

  116. with trying to understand prophetically with being said here.

  117. Which is you know, which is I absolutely agree with

  118. your commentary there. And you know verse four is pretty

  119. hard hitting here, because the sons of Israel will remain

  120. for many days without having a king, and without having

  121. a ruler, and without having a mode of sacrifice, and

  122. without having an altar, a priesthood or manifestations. Right, you know,

  123. there is no doubt that this bores into the brain

  124. of the feet of Abraham. You know, they should realize

  125. this must be talking about Daniel's prophecy of seventy weeks.

  126. There's no way around it. This must be describing exactly

  127. what was prophesied to them, told to them directly by

  128. God via Gabriel, via Daniel, in high definition, in fantast detail.

  129. I mean this is this is answered in Daniel chapter nine,

  130. verses twenty through twenty seven. This is the seventy weeks prophecy.

  131. They are told exactly when this is going to happen.

  132. And verse five and after these things, the sons of

  133. Israel will return, and they will seek after the Lord

  134. their God, and David their king, and they will be

  135. massed at the Lord and the good things in the

  136. last days. Make no mistake about it. Verse five comes

  137. right out and tells you these things will extend to

  138. the end of day. And of course, when you read

  139. Daniel chapter nine, verses twenty, you're twenty seven. When did

  140. you read this? It's pretty easy. It is saying that

  141. in the seventieth week, in the middle of the week,

  142. the Messiah prince will be cut off. They know the

  143. last days. They know the last days is that last

  144. three and a half years. They know that right from

  145. these versus dead bang. They know it straight from these verses. Now,

  146. history bears that out. History absolutely proves that unequivocally does

  147. it prove that many people, you know, when they really

  148. know the calculations for this, it really does bottle the mind,

  149. It really does. So take tho, let's just take a

  150. moment to do this. Okay, when you read that, I'm

  151. not going to read the whole thing. But in Darren,

  152. chapter nine, verse twenty four, Gabriel says that seventy sevens

  153. are decreed for your people in your holy city. The

  154. seventy sevens is understood to be seventy weeks of years,

  155. in other words, a period of four hundred and ninety years.

  156. This prophecy provides a parabolic clock that gives when the

  157. Messiah would come and some of the events that would

  158. accompany his first advent. Now, the prophecy goes on to

  159. divide four hundred ninety years into smaller units, one of

  160. forty nine years, one of four hundred and thirty four years,

  161. and one of seven years. The final week of seven

  162. years is further divided in half. Verse twenty five says,

  163. no one understand that from the going forth to the

  164. command to restore and build Jerusalem Utili the Prince, there

  165. shall be seven weeks in sixty two weeks seven seven

  166. to forty nine years, and sixty two seven is another

  167. four hundred and thirty four years. So the forty nine

  168. plus the four thirty four is four hundred and eighty

  169. three years. This dead bank that this calculation, make no

  170. mistakes when you know to convert the years into three

  171. hundred and fifty day years. This dead bang's from the

  172. issue of the decree from adamser Fief. It terminates right

  173. at the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem in thirty

  174. three eighty. That's a fact, I'm telling you. Mathematical. Yes,

  175. that's that simple. Now, I just likely mentioned that the

  176. final week is cut the hand. When you know this,

  177. When you know this, you understand your eye can be open.

  178. As to verse five of the Hoseh chapter three, and

  179. I'll read it for you again, it says, and after

  180. these things, the sons of Israel will return, and they

  181. will seek after the Lord their God, and David their king,

  182. and they will be amazed at the Lord and that

  183. his good things in the lap days. Now take note,

  184. we need to figure out what Israel is. So I'm

  185. going to ask Hose a very simple question, Hose, how

  186. many tribes are in Israel.

  187. Yeah, that's a right man. In the Old Testament, of

  188. course we have the twelve with the additional one added.

  189. But the New Testament tells us Matthew that Israel is Christian.

  190. That's right, So that is to say there's twelve right right?

  191. Yeah? Uh huh.

  192. Why does everybody in the Western Church. Why is it

  193. that a lot of them think that there's only.

  194. One tribe Judah right right?

  195. And they actually preach and teach that we will be

  196. reintegrated into the Jews, we will be put into the

  197. tribe of Judah. No, that's not what this says. It

  198. says that those that are left in Israel. Okay, we

  199. can go to Jeremiah, chapter thirty one and verse thirty one,

  200. and God comes right out and says that the New

  201. Covenant will be for the for Judah and Israel, letting

  202. you know that's the two sticks that's going to be

  203. joined together. We of course are Israel. Which versons say

  204. that in any jestinate? First off, three full chapter says

  205. that Romans nine ten eleven, right, ose, right, I mean,

  206. you can't get around those verses. We we become those

  207. lost tribes and the tribe of Judah. Gets reintegrated into us,

  208. not the other way around. Now, this is fulfillment theology.

  209. That's what it is. If you teach something else, you're rejections.

  210. You have rejected. The Bible is God's totally work. We

  211. are acceptionist. We accept what the Bible says. We accept

  212. it no matter what it says. That's what we believe.

  213. So if you think there is another way for anyone

  214. to enter the Kingdom Heaven outside of the Lord Jesus Christ,

  215. you're rejectionist. And unfortunately, I would say afterwards of half,

  216. if not more than half, of the Church in the

  217. West firmly believe that what the dispensationalists say are true,

  218. that after return of Christ those Jews that did not

  219. accept him will be automatically converted. That is a lie

  220. straight out of the devil's mouth, is what that is.

  221. So it's pretty important that everybody real life is here.

  222. That well, when you look at it this way, it

  223. makes sense that, well, his wife was a wife of parlatry, right,

  224. because you would certainly say that the Gentiles was not

  225. in the promise, and you would the best way to

  226. relate this message to Israel, to the Israelites since then

  227. I'm going to kick you to the curb and I

  228. will take you back up again. Right. I mean, what

  229. other way could you say it to them that they

  230. would understand this? Ose?

  231. Right?

  232. So that's my opening commentary.

  233. What say you, well, Matthew, I think with that first

  234. verse that that's where it took me exactly what you

  235. just explained, because when I read about how they loved

  236. cakes and dried said reminded me of the Eccodus when

  237. when they Israelites there were complaining about eating only manna,

  238. and they wanted to go back to Egypt and need

  239. all the better the finer food supposed to eat that

  240. they had in Egypt.

  241. Right.

  242. And Jesus addresses this in John chapter six, Matthew or

  243. verse thirty one, where he says, our fathers ate the

  244. mana in the desert. As it is written, he gave

  245. them bread from heaven to eat. Then Jesus said, to

  246. the most security, I say to you, Modes did not

  247. give you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives

  248. you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of

  249. God is he who comes down from heaven and gives

  250. likes to the world. And of course, Matthew, you know

  251. when we continue reading this chapter, he said that that

  252. bread is is the everlasting life. If we wanted, we're

  253. supposed to eat it, and that that bread is the

  254. Lord jesuscribes himself, Matthew. And you know what did the

  255. Jews at that time say? They rejected it. They said,

  256. how can this be possible? And like you mentioned before,

  257. he's cut off, so that well, that that opportunity they had,

  258. that that that take the bread right then they rejected

  259. it just the same way that their fathers did in

  260. the desert, Matthew. And so thankfully God provided the way

  261. for those sons to return in the in the last days,

  262. just like you were describing their Matthew. But you know,

  263. even the gospel stories here reflects what we're reading here

  264. in Hosea chapter three.

  265. It does, It absolutely does, and you know it it

  266. it It is hard hammering as the parable of the

  267. wicked vine Dressers in Matthew chapter twenty one, verses thirty

  268. three through forty four, that's really what he's saying here.

  269. So let's let's take a read of that. So the

  270. Parable of the Wicked vine Dressers Matthew, chapter twenty one,

  271. starting in verse thirty three, the new King James version

  272. by the here another parable. There was a certain plan

  273. owner who planted a vineyard and set a hatch around it,

  274. dug a winepress and built a tower, and he leased

  275. it the vine dressers and went into a far country. Now,

  276. when the village time drew near, he and his servants

  277. to the vine dresser, that they might receive its fruit.

  278. As if vine dressers took his servants, beat one, killed, one,

  279. stoned another. Again, he sent other servants more than the first,

  280. and they did likewise to them. Then, last of all

  281. he sends near son for them, saying they will respect

  282. my son. But when the vine dressers saw the son,

  283. they said to themselves, visit the heir, come, let us

  284. kill him and seize his inheritance. So they took him

  285. and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. Therefore,

  286. when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he

  287. do to those vine dressers, they said to him, He

  288. will just those wicked men miserably, and lee is vineyard

  289. to other fine dressers, who will render to him the

  290. fruits in their season. Jesus said to them, have you

  291. never read the scriptures? The stone which the builders rejected

  292. has become the chief cornerstone. This was the Lord's doing,

  293. and it is marvelous in your eyes. Therefore, I say

  294. to you, the Kingdom of God will be taken from

  295. you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it.

  296. And whoever falls on the stone will be broken, but

  297. on whomever it falls it will grind him the power.

  298. So this verse, these verses, that's coming out of the

  299. mouth of the Lord Jesus Christ telling these people, telling

  300. the Jews, God was going to do this thing and

  301. give it to another nation. We all know there's the

  302. only other nation than Israel is the Gentiles. You're either

  303. one or the other. You're a Jew or you're a Gentile.

  304. At this point we know. This is why the Greek

  305. text integrades that integrade to this idea of you're either

  306. Jew or Greek. Because the whole world's been helenized. I mean,

  307. if you if you go to anywhere on this planet

  308. and go to their education system, guess what, so you

  309. thought Russian schools were different than you. Yeah, the whole

  310. planet's been hellenized. So when you realize what he's saying

  311. here and you go to that chapter and you realize, well,

  312. they immediately knew that he was talking about them from

  313. that point orward. They were going to cut him off,

  314. exactly like God relayed to Gabriel, relaid to Daniel, relayed

  315. to you that the Messiah of the Prince would be

  316. cut off in the middle of the week. And that

  317. is exactly what they did. Exactly what they did. You know,

  318. I didn't finish the chapter, but you need to understand.

  319. That's why what comes after that parable comes the way

  320. it does. And I'm sorry it does that, but that

  321. is the truth. Let me go there right now and

  322. read it so you can hear the rest of it.

  323. The final two verses of this. Now take note before

  324. it's the parable I just read to you. He was

  325. directing these comments to did you verse forty five. Now,

  326. when the chief priest and pharisees hurt his parables, they

  327. perceived that he was speaking of them. But when they

  328. sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitudes

  329. because they took him for a prophet. From this point forward,

  330. he tells them, he basically reiterates what Hoseah chapter three states,

  331. but hey, this is going to happen. You don't have

  332. to like it. And from that point forward they sought

  333. to lay their hands on him. They were going to

  334. kill him. They were going to fulfill Daniel chapter nine,

  335. verses twenty through twenty seven. You know it doesn't stop here.

  336. I mean, let's go to Matthew chapter eight, verses ten

  337. through thirteen. When Jesus heard it, he marveled and said

  338. to those who followed assuredly, I say to you, I

  339. have not found such great faith, not even in Israel.

  340. And I say to you that many will come from

  341. east and west and sit down with Abraham, Isaac and

  342. Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven. But the son of

  343. the Kingdom will be asked into outer darkness. There will

  344. be a weeping and national peace. Then Jesus said to

  345. the centurion, go your way, and as you have believed, so,

  346. let it be done for you. And his servant was

  347. healed that same hour. Here Jesus comes out and tells

  348. the Jews, but the Sons the Kingdom will be cast

  349. out into the outer darkness, showing you point blank range

  350. once again, the Jews would have to be reintegrated into

  351. Israel and Israel here it states everybody from the rising

  352. of the sun to the studying of the sun. It's

  353. that way and it's no other way. Consider this, Okay,

  354. consider this Romans Chapter two, verses twenty six through twenty nine. Therefore,

  355. if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law,

  356. will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision, and will

  357. not the physically uncircumcised if he fulfills the law. Judge, you, who,

  358. even with your written code and circumcision, are transgressor of

  359. the law. Court. He is not a Jew who is

  360. one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in

  361. the flesh. But he is a Jew who is one

  362. in wordly, And circumcision is that of the heart, in

  363. the spirit, not in the letter, whose praise is not

  364. from men but from God. You can't get it any

  365. clearer than that, can y Jose?

  366. Nope?

  367. I mean, that's that's pretty straightforward. That Israel, the new Israel.

  368. You're going to have to be born again. You're going

  369. to have to be born of the spirit, not just

  370. born of a water baptism. You must be born in

  371. the spirit. You must be born again. That's what it is.

  372. It's not a circumcising of the flesh. It's a circumcising

  373. of your heart. It is repentance. In Greek, repentance is

  374. not translated as an apology. You don't apology. That Greek

  375. word means to change the mind. You go from living

  376. a life of sin to living a life without sinning.

  377. It's it's pretty easy. That's that's who Israel is from

  378. this point forward.

  379. Jose your thoughts, Yeah, Matthew, I think that that matches

  380. what I would think you when I was reading it. Again,

  381. just by taking us directly to the Gospel, knowing the

  382. way the events transpire there, knowing that they do reject

  383. the Lord Jesus Christ, and again that that opens the

  384. door for the gentile, that opens the door for the

  385. rest of like we've been describing. But we're also told,

  386. Matthew that in order for the Jews to be in

  387. order for that stick to be rejoined, they have to

  388. come to believe in the Lord j is Christ, that

  389. he is God and that he is their savior. You know,

  390. That's that's the way God laid out his plan, the

  391. way the way things are going to transpire. But Matthew,

  392. when I when I jumped down to verse three, and

  393. it's talking about this woman sitting for many days and

  394. not prostituting herself. It takes you to that, to that tabernacle, Matthew.

  395. It takes you to that time when that woman has

  396. taken to that place that is prepared and one in

  397. their Matthew, the woman is not going to prosecute herself

  398. for for two main reasons. One because she's taken to

  399. the place of protection away from the bad shepherd. But

  400. to Matthew, if you do try to prostitute yourself in

  401. this location, there is an angel there, Matthew that will

  402. not forgive you. So it's not even physically Paul fromble

  403. to propts to yourself in that place that's been prepared

  404. in that tabernacle that that we're told about in Revelation

  405. chapter seven. So that's that's immediately because because Matthew, how,

  406. I mean you know that whatever church, church or church members, Matthew,

  407. how how can we not sind we're sealming. We're in

  408. the flesh and yes, where where that natural man is

  409. dying daily and that spiritual man is growing. But I mean, Matthew,

  410. we're not perfect, right, We're gonna, we're gonna, We're gonna sind,

  411. we're gonna air. But boy, Matthew, when you're in that

  412. place prepared. That's not what you want to do. That's

  413. not even something you want to enter into your thoughts,

  414. into your heart, let alone anywhere into your body. Matthew.

  415. So that that's what I thought of when I read

  416. that birth.

  417. And you know time is gonna be cut short for that,

  418. right right. Yes, Now I'm gonna say something that might

  419. upset some people. But believe me, I can quote the

  420. chapter in verses, so please believe what I'm saying. It's

  421. reduced from forty two years to forty two months. Let

  422. me qualify that. Yes, from the point that the Spies

  423. come back and the children of Israel rejected the point

  424. of the report, from that point until they crossed the

  425. Jordan was in fact forty years. However, when you saturate

  426. yourself with scripture and gets yourself something right, with something

  427. to write on and add it up. There's forty two

  428. stations in the wilderness, just so you know, and you

  429. can chronicle one year and five months they were wandering

  430. before they ever received the report from the spies. Now

  431. you need to no one understand this. There's a couple

  432. of places in there that the Bible does not record.

  433. How long they stayed there, So you need to understand

  434. it was forty two years. That's probably a shock to

  435. some people. But yes, I've made the verses publicly available

  436. many times on many posts I've posted all across social

  437. media for the past fifteen years. Okay, if you want

  438. those exact chapters and verses, by all means, ask me,

  439. I will supply them to you. So you need to

  440. understand that what came out of Jose's mouth will occur again.

  441. What did Jose chapters through verse FIVEE say out of

  442. his good things in the last day in the lap day?

  443. So you should no one understand that in the laft

  444. days you'll be in this place that Jose just described.

  445. It's got more than one name in the Bible. He

  446. calls it his vineyard, he calls it his pasture, right, Jose.

  447. We have done programs on this at Lenks right, right, So,

  448. ladies and gentlemen, it's important that you know that that's

  449. what's being talked about. You need to understand the whole

  450. reason why time, times and a halftime is used in Daniel.

  451. As you're supposed to know, he repeatedly states that is

  452. the end time. That's why the book of revelation is

  453. for time, time and halftime. It is three and a

  454. half years. It's three and a half years of it's

  455. it's prophetic years. Okay, because time is going to be different,

  456. then you need to understand that things are going to

  457. be different. Then in that, in that there's not going

  458. to be variable days in the month. There will be

  459. thirty days exactly, and forty two of them, which equal

  460. one thousand and sixty days. But once you wrap your

  461. mind around that, you realize what these scriptures you're saying.

  462. They're saying that the first three and a half years

  463. of Daniels seventy weeks, that last week, that seventieth week,

  464. it was the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. You

  465. can prove this beyond shouted out, because John records the

  466. Lord Jesus having and visiting three passovers. All scholars accept this.

  467. This is not debated. They know Jesus earthly ministry was

  468. three and a half years, and that means you've got

  469. three and a half years to go. That's what it means.

  470. That's what it means. Well, have a lot to digest,

  471. but no one understands what this just said. Hosea, Chapter three,

  472. verse five. And after these things, the sons of Israel

  473. will return, and they will seek ask of the Lord

  474. their God and David their King, and they will be

  475. amazed at the Lord and at his good things in

  476. the last day. The good things that will happen to

  477. you in the last days will truly amaze you, because

  478. in the middle of the Great Tribulation, Revelation chapter seven,

  479. verses nine through seventeen, will come true. Did I shock you?

  480. Yes?

  481. Revelation Chapter seven, verses nine through seventeen plainly describe these events.

  482. They plainly described that you're going to be gathered together

  483. at what the Bible calls the Tabernacle of Davy, and

  484. that's what you'll be for their duration of the tribulation.

  485. That's what it says. That's what it means. That's what

  486. it only says. I've never found it to say anything else,

  487. have you hoped? They?

  488. Nope?

  489. It really is pretty cut and dry, simple. So what

  490. about these other verses we've concentrated on these? What is

  491. your thoughts on verse two?

  492. I haven't dug too much into that, Matthew. I do

  493. you notice that there are three items discussed here, dover,

  494. barley and the wine, but no I have not dug

  495. into that verse.

  496. You're right, it stands out that there's three different things here,

  497. right right. Tell me how many end time entities are

  498. related to Israel. It's in Revelation chapter twelve. There's three, Matthew,

  499. there's three.

  500. Amen, Amen, go.

  501. Ahead, spell them out.

  502. That there's the woman hm, the male child, and the

  503. rest of her children.

  504. It's that thing and it is no other thing is there?

  505. So literally, isn't he coming out and telling you here

  506. he's prophetically riddling to you there's going to be three groups. Yeah,

  507. there's going to be three groups. Now, just so you know,

  508. the Bible kind of always says that, but here it'll

  509. kind of sticky in the eye. It's like, for I mean,

  510. what stands out to you with this, Jose? I mean,

  511. let's let's let's talk about this this list, because it

  512. really kind of don't make sense. Right. So you have

  513. some you have some money, right, and then you have

  514. some grain, and then you have I mean you would

  515. expect to have maybe some fruit and some vegetables, right,

  516. but no, you have grain and then you have wine.

  517. So you know, what do you make of that?

  518. Host?

  519. This is three completely different things, completely great?

  520. Right?

  521. Yeah?

  522. I mean, you know, matt, Matthew, other than the barley,

  523. we know the process to make that into bread, right,

  524. the process that's involved there, you know, you you crust,

  525. you grind, you do all there to come out with

  526. the bread. And with the wine. You have to tread

  527. the grape to get the wine. You know, those two

  528. kind of seemed like like a changing process, you know,

  529. an initial destroying the initial product to come out with

  530. something new. That's right, you know, right, the fifteen pieces

  531. of goverer, matt You can't help but think about the

  532. thirty pieces of silver that was given to the judas

  533. for betraying the Lord. So you know, and of course

  534. we know that what happened there was had to happen,

  535. and we get our salvation because of it, Matthew, but

  536. you know, it was a terrible betrayal that that happened

  537. to the Lord for those those those pieces of silver.

  538. So that's just my immediate thought on what I'm reading here.

  539. And I agree, you know, I almost say something You're

  540. probably not gonna like it, but can I say it anyway?

  541. Amen? Amen?

  542. The Vedica's chapter twenty seven, verse seven were ridiculous. Chapter

  543. twenty seven, verse seven and maybe I should just go

  544. ahead and jump over there in the lexum English sebtuagen

  545. just take me in second. Okay, So this is what

  546. it says, and if the person is from sixty years

  547. old and over, if he is a male, the value

  548. will be fifteen droughness of silver and his femle ten droughness.

  549. Did I get your attention, ladies and gentlemen. I mean

  550. this is obviously tied together, and you need to understand

  551. that this is in the diatribe Leviticus, chapter twenty seven.

  552. It details the redeeming of things consecrated to God. Oh yeah,

  553. that was talking about a male and a female that

  554. had been consecrated to God. Let me, yes, I'd probably

  555. ride people's cage, haven't I? Hose?

  556. Amen? Amen?

  557. I mean, because nobody thought to actually look where else

  558. fifteen pieces of silver would be used? But there it is,

  559. right there in the middle. So hoose, why don't you

  560. go to Levitica's chapter twenty seven, and why don't you

  561. read that first part there? Read down the verse thirteen

  562. because I think it's going to prove interesting. So starting

  563. wear Matthew, starting the first verse of Levedica twenty seven,

  564. the whole thing until thirteen until thirteen verse thirteen. That's

  565. that first paragraph.

  566. There, okay, So Leviticus twenty seven. And the Lord spoke

  567. to mode the thing. Speak to the sons of Israel,

  568. and say to them, whoever vows a vow concerning the

  569. value of his life to the Lord. The value of

  570. the male will be From twenty years up to sixty

  571. years old, his value will be fifty dropmodl of silver

  572. according to the measure of the same stuary. But the

  573. valuation of the female will be thirty the draftman. But

  574. if the person is from five years old to twenty

  575. years old, the value of the male will be twenty

  576. drapma and the female fourteen the dragmas. And from a

  577. month old to five years old, the value of the

  578. male will be five to drapmas of silver, and of

  579. the female three the drapmas. And if the person is

  580. from sixty years old and over, if he is the male,

  581. the value will be fifteen to drop months of silver,

  582. and this female ten to drakmas. But if the person

  583. is too poor for the valuation, he will stand before

  584. the priest, and the priest will evaluate him according to

  585. the strength of the hand of the one who makes

  586. a vow, the priest will determine an evaluation for him.

  587. But if it is brought forth from the livestock from

  588. their gifts to the Lord, whoever may give from these

  589. to the Lord, it will be holy. He will not

  590. exchange it good for bad, or detective for healthy. But

  591. if he actually does end up changing it animal for animal,

  592. it and the exchanged animal will be holy. And if

  593. it is any unclean animal from which none are offered

  594. as the gift of the Lord, he will prease and

  595. the animal before the priest, and the priest will determine

  596. the valuation for it between good value and between bad value.

  597. And however the priest should value it, so it shall

  598. dad and then redeeming he may redeem it. He will

  599. add a fifth to its value.

  600. So here in this verse the fifteen pieces of silver.

  601. Thank no, this was the lowest described value, right right,

  602. the lowest described value sixty years and over right. Yep, Well,

  603. I'll say this, ladies and gentlemen, as you were wondering,

  604. you were wondering what the first eight verses in Revelation

  605. chapter verse seven was about. Now you know, Now you

  606. know one of these groups have proven to be worthless

  607. and if you need more information of that, look this up.

  608. The series that jose and I did on the Slaughter

  609. of the Shepherds. Now they're mentioned first because we'll in

  610. the first resurrection, which is the beam a seed of Christ,

  611. what you call the judgment seed of Christ. See, there's

  612. two resurrections on the first resurrection is the judgment seat

  613. of Christ. The second resurrection is a thousand years later,

  614. and it is the resurrection of the unrighteous. So at

  615. the first resurrection, there is a group labeled there that

  616. had been beheaded because they would not or could not,

  617. I mean via Revelation chapter seven, it could not, they

  618. could not take the mark of the beast because they'd

  619. been sealed by God. It is this group that have

  620. to rule and reign with Christ. They are called those

  621. of the First Resurrection. They are not like your ancestors

  622. that have entered the rest. The Bible plainly calls those

  623. people Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And you know, your mother

  624. if she was saved, your your father if he was saved,

  625. your grandma and grandpa. The Bible calls those people those

  626. who sleep in Jesus. This group, however, are called the

  627. dead in Christ. Completely different phraseologies from the New Testament

  628. completely different. This is that group, and they are valued

  629. at basically their skin value. They're valued at only fifteen

  630. pieces of silver. And didn't you like how it said

  631. those strange words? Just said it strange about that? Let

  632. me let me read we say this, okay, but if

  633. the person is too poor for the valuation, he will

  634. stand before the priest, and the priest will evaluate him

  635. according to the strength of his hand. Does that bother you?

  636. Now that you know how they're going to die? Because

  637. you receive the mark of the beast, either on the

  638. head or on the white hurdan a man on the hand.

  639. It's all right here encoded what you need to know,

  640. literally all of it. It's all right here now. Unfortunately

  641. we didn't get time to get into these two other things.

  642. But once I point it out to you, Jose, you

  643. have the wherewithal to Hey, we need to try to

  644. figure out what the other two.

  645. Items are, right amen? Amen?

  646. And you're right. They have to be crushed, don't they. Yeah,

  647. whether you're making bread or whether you're making wine, they

  648. must be trampled or crushed. They must be they must

  649. be refined, right.

  650. Amen.

  651. They must be refined. Now silver is different, right, Silver

  652. must be refined by slagging in a furnace, right. Yeah,

  653. but that's a great, big difference, great big difference. I mean,

  654. it's one thing to be crushed and pulverized, it's another

  655. thing to be burned. So it's very important that you

  656. latch on to this phraseology what he's trying to relate

  657. to you. It's extremely important that you realize he's saying

  658. all of this for a reason. So let me say

  659. it again. It states, so why I hired her for

  660. myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer of

  661. barley corns and a vessel of wine. I bet.

  662. No.

  663. I guarantee you if you want to know the identity

  664. of the two other groups, just chase that down. I'm

  665. sure you'll be able to come to a conclusion just

  666. as quickly as I did about the first group. Jose

  667. top of the hour Man. That was a floppin' by verses,

  668. wasn't it. Yeah?

  669. Yeah, we lightly touched on everything, Matthew, We didn't. We

  670. didn't dig in super deep, you know, because uncause I

  671. know there's so much more there. But but no, I

  672. think I think this is a good a good overall

  673. covering of this chapter, but plenty more for ups to

  674. dig into. Matthew, absolutely.

  675. You know my closing. Come introduce Galatians Chapter three Versus

  676. twenty sixth through twenty nine. For you are all sons

  677. of God grew faith in Christ Jesus. For as many

  678. of you were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

  679. There is neither Jew nor Greek. Neither is their slave

  680. nor free, neither is their male nor female. You are

  681. all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ,

  682. then you are Abraham Seed and heirs. According to them.

  683. It's that.

  684. And if you say something else, you're lying. That's who

  685. Israel is. Israel is than anything else. Jose, Can you

  686. take us out of here in prayer?

  687. Police, if I can, at you, dear heavenly Father, whom

  688. I love and serve, and whom I eterney give thanks

  689. for all the blessings that I haven't been given. Lord,

  702. that you are with them also as they go through

  703. their struggles, as they encounter health issues, as they encounter

  704. problems at work or at school, Lord, reassure them that

  705. you are there. Reassure them that they can turn to

  706. your son and trust in your Holy Spirit. The Guide

  707. didn't protect them farther. Lord, and I also ask for

  708. the strength for this ministry to continue in your work. Lord, Again,

  709. as we're distracted, as we're encounter so many issues, technical issues,

  710. so many issues with our own health. Lord, I just

  711. asked that you please provide us strength for the small

  712. hour to continue to do your work. Lord. And I

  713. ask all of this in the name of your son,

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