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 mere Natha
-
Ministries and now Redemption draweth nigh. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen,
-
Welcome to the program. We are your host jose and Matthew. Tonight,
-
we're getting back to the Book of the Twelve. We're
-
going to be diving deeper into Hoseah chapter two, and
-
the Septuagint takes well, it takes a completely different turn here.
-
We're going to get our feet wet in another part
-
of the Bible that well, it's just it's unsettling. It
-
really is unsettling some of the frost references that these
-
verses go to. But it is interesting to me that
-
that's let me explain something to everybody. The Hebrew New Testament,
-
what Delich did. That is for the Old Testament prophecies.
-
Just so you know, and you also need to know this,
-
The Old Testament Greek is for the New Testament prophecies.
-
If you didn't know that, if you were just now
-
made aware of that fact, you have so much you
-
could learn, You have so much you could learn. You know,
-
today I was I was talking with someone born and
-
raised in the church one more time, born and raised
-
in the church.
-
And.
-
They didn't understand what people were saying. While I'm mid
-
trib I'm you know, pre mill I'm post trib had
-
no idea what they were talking about. They had no idea.
-
I had to explain to them that the very basics
-
of eschatology, of this first step is tribulationism. Now all
-
depending on where you were raised. Now it's quite possible
-
you could be like Jose's case. Jose really wasn't taught
-
anything about aschatology. But you need to know this, This
-
is a true statement. Many of the church doesn't believe
-
there's ever going to be a great tribulation. They quite
-
simply don't believe it. They believe that what happened with
-
the Temple destruction in seventy eight, that was the answer
-
to all the New Testament prophecies. So that's the first
-
thing you need to understand, is tribulationism. Do you believe
-
in it or not? I mean, if you take out
-
the Book of Revelation and does the rest of the
-
New Testament tell you unequivocably the Church of the Lord
-
Jesus Christ is in for a hammering before he gets back.
-
I mean, either you believe it or you don't. The
-
other leg, because there's two legs, is millennialism. This comes
-
as shock to a lot of people after Church doesn't
-
believe there's such thing it's a millennial reign of Christ.
-
They never think that Christ will come here physically and
-
set up a physical kingdom over humanity. They completely reject
-
Revelation chapter twenty, and it's completely rejected. So you need
-
to know that there's many people that we talk about
-
as chatology they don't even know. But you need to
-
know those the two legs true tribulationism, either you believe
-
it or not. There's going to be a great tribulation
-
or there's not. And millennialism, you believe there's going to
-
be a millennial reign of Christ or not. And if
-
you don't at least know those things, maybe you've read
-
the Bible. And that's what was the case, was this
-
person they had read the Bible cover to cover and
-
they've actually come to the correct conclusion because the Bible
-
presents the plain reading prophecy model. The plain reading of
-
the text produces exactly what all Christians believed for the
-
first three hundred years of Christianity. Of course, there's a
-
great tribulation that's on the way. That's what the Lord
-
Jesus Christ said that, that's what he said. Of course,
-
there's going to be a millennial reign of Christ. That's
-
what he said. So if you are a student of
-
Bible prophecy and you know what you believe, I'm here
-
to tell you that if you didn't know what I aforementioned,
-
there's a ton of informations you just quite simply don't
-
know yet.
-
Right, jose Correct, Matthew.
-
They just don't understand what's actually there. They just don't
-
understand what's actually there. So what's your opening comments about
-
this short little bit of scripture from the septuagen jose.
-
Well, Matthew, I mean, growing up in the church, I'd
-
always heard the Gospels referring to Jesus as the bridegroom,
-
and of course as to the Us as the bride. Right,
-
that's what we're aiming for. So again, it wasn't until
-
I really started getting in too serious Bible study with
-
you in Marianathan ministries that, of course I came across
-
passages like this, Matthew, were and the Old Testament God
-
was saying was calling himself the husband. Right, That's just
-
not how growing up as a Christian, how I thought
-
about God, even though of course that's what we think about.
-
The son and the Father and the son are one.
-
So this is where you know, if if if people
-
haven't been understanding the role that God plays with his people,
-
how serious it is, Matthew, how serious he equates idolatry
-
with adultery. It's it's for this very same reason, Matthew,
-
when we commit to the Lord the Father and the
-
Lord the Son, it's it's exactly like a marriage contract, Matthew.
-
It's exactly like we're saying, he is our husband, and
-
now he we it's in his house that we reside,
-
and they're they're you know, just as as a marriage
-
has has serious consequences for straying outside of those bounds,
-
it's the same way with God and his people, Matthew.
-
And so when you go reading through this, not only
-
is that reinforced, but now he's he's giving you even
-
more detail for how that's going to lay out, you know,
-
with his son, Matthew. So this is just again The
-
only way I can explain it is it's more de
-
God's already told us this before, and he's told us
-
over and over and over, and all he's doing here
-
is just giving us more information, reinforcing what he's already
-
told us, reinforcing what his son has told us. And
-
again Matthew just giving us detailed, detailed information about what
-
is to come. And it's a beautiful thing. Every time
-
I read the Bible, that's it. This is what God
-
always shows me.
-
And you know how many people realize that Matthew twenty
-
two is so vitally important to end time Bible prophecy,
-
because the parable of the marriage is what's going to happen, right,
-
it is what's going to happen. And in that parable, Jose,
-
do you ever see the sun? No, you never see him,
-
Ladies and gentlemen, you never see him. You never see him.
-
When's the last time you read it? Okay? Because this
-
is how that parable ends verse thirteen with Matthew Chapter
-
twenty two. Then the game said to the attendants, buying
-
the hands of feet, and carry him out and cap
-
me to the outer darkness creeping. A nation of teith
-
will be there for many are cold, but few are chosen.
-
You should be able to at least understand this. This
-
is when God is planning on building his temple with you,
-
and the sun never shows up. You never. This is
-
a marriage banquet that you never get the witness, do you, Jose?
-
It's not here? No, so man so much. And you're
-
right with this short burst of in information here in
-
the latter part of Jose chapter two. And like I said,
-
some of the cross references just well, we're just gonna
-
have to get to it and and just just get
-
dirty with it. So are you going to read this
-
week or you want me to read? Yeah?
-
I can read Matthew, Okay, do love a lot of verses,
-
so hopefully I can handle it.
-
Amen, all right, So I'm.
-
Reading out of the Lexum English septuagen. We're in Hosea
-
chapter two, and I'm going to read from verse sixteen
-
to the end. And they will be in that day,
-
says the Lord. She will call me my husband, and
-
she will no longer call me ball. And I will
-
remove the names of the balls from her mouth, and
-
the names will not be remembered again. And I will
-
establish a treaty with them in that day with the
-
beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens,
-
and the reptiles of the land. And I will crush
-
bow and sword and battle from the land. And I
-
will establish you in hope. And I will betrothe you
-
to me for eternity. And I will betrothe you to
-
me in righteousness and in judgment, and with mercy, and
-
with compassionate feelings. And I will betrothe you to me
-
in trust, and you will recognize the Lord. And it
-
will be in that day, says the Lord. I will
-
listen to the heavens, and it will listen to the earth,
-
and the earth will listen to the grain and the
-
wine and the olive oil, and they will listen to Jezreel.
-
And I will sow her for myself upon the land.
-
And I will love her who has not loved. And
-
I will say to not my people, you are my people.
-
And he will say you are the Lord, my God.
-
Good stuff, yes, of very good stuff. What sticks out to.
-
You, Well, just that transition, man, you from ball or
-
master to husband. We I think most of us, you know,
-
in our minds, can can comprehend God being our master.
-
He created us. We're supposed to follow his commandments. You know,
-
we're we're here because at because of His will. So
-
you know, it's it's it's almost in essence like a father, right,
-
And we can understand that concept of you know, I'm
-
gonna I'm gonna follow the commandments. You know, I'm gonna
-
read my Bible, I'm gonna say my prayers. I'm gonna
-
be a Christian because God has commanded me to do that.
-
And that resonates for a lot of us that grew
-
up as Christians, Matthew. But just as hard as it
-
is for for a man, especially to understand that he's
-
going to be the bride to the bridegroom, to understand
-
that God says that he is going to be our husband,
-
that's just you know that that when I first started
-
to understand that concept, Matthew, blew my mind that this
-
is how God looks at us. And of course, you know,
-
in our flesh, we we look at the at the
-
the carnal natural meanings of being a husband. But obviously
-
that's not what God is talking about. He's talking about
-
our husband as in a spiritual sense, a true connection,
-
a true bond, a true marriage, a true becoming of
-
one like a husband and a wife, a bride in
-
a bridegroom. But still, you know, when you first start
-
to realize this is what God wants, it goes way beyond,
-
you know, just following the ten commands. Matthew, That's that's
-
what strikes me when I when I read this chapter
-
or this set of verses.
-
Here, what is in play here is the cleaving. Yes,
-
we as a body will be cloven to Christ. The
-
two will become one flesh.
-
Amen. Amen.
-
So we also need to understand this that Jeremiah chapter
-
eight is very clear. Obviously, this is still being practice,
-
has always been practiced quite simply. The balls here, the
-
baulin here, make no mistakes about it. Ladies and gentlemen.
-
What's being talked about here is the worshiping of the
-
princes of heaven. Jeremiah chapter Eight's very clear, and there
-
is no doubt that this is what especially the wealthy
-
people on this planet do. This is what they do,
-
that's what they've done. They worship these seventy princes. Make
-
no mistakes about it. And you have to realize that
-
there is coming a time when that system of authority
-
is done away with. It's completely done away with. And
-
this is prophetically hinting at that you know this, I
-
like how verse seventeen puts it here, and I will
-
remove the names of the balls from her mouth. This
-
triggers remembrancers with meay, Exodus twenty three thirteen, you shall
-
observe all the things that I've said to you, and
-
you shall not bring the name of other gods the mind.
-
It will not even be heard coming out of your mouth.
-
Of course, we know that what this details here is
-
that the original Covenant was just violated and violated and
-
violated and violated and violated until God just rejected. Here,
-
he's obviously alluding to the new Covenant. That's why these
-
verses say what they say, Joshua twenty three, verse seven,
-
so that you might not go to these nations left behind,
-
and the names of their gods will not be remembered
-
among you. Neither shall you in any way bow down
-
to them or serve them. Here again is direct phraseology,
-
straight taking you straight to Jeremiah chapter eight. What happened
-
when they fall? And jose they will fall, they will
-
be here during the tribulation. One third of the host
-
of heaven will be here. So my last cross references.
-
Most people know these verses, but they don't know it
-
from the Subtuagan. In the Subtiligent, this is Psalms fifteen.
-
In the Hebrew Psalm sixteen. I'm going to read this
-
stands of from the Septuagin. Now, like I said, if
-
you've got a Hebrew based Bible, you want to turn
-
to the next chapter. You want to turn to Psalm sixteen.
-
But in the Septuagent this is Psalm fifteen. Bardmeo, Lord,
-
because upon you I place my hope. Now take note, Jose.
-
Chapter two just said that you would be established in hope. Right, Jose,
-
you remember that? Right? So yes, put this in your
-
back pocket. I said to the Lord, you are my lord.
-
Here you go again. This phraseology is coming from phrases
-
said from the wife to the husband verse three. To
-
the holy ones who are in his earth, he magnified
-
all his decrees among them, their weakness was increased. After
-
these things, they were quickened. I will not gather their
-
gatherings from murderers, nor will I ever remember their names
-
on my lips. Once I read that opening stanza from
-
the Subtuagen, you would think it is literally talking about
-
the same exact thing. Josea chapter two, starting in verse
-
fifteen sixteen is talking about. It is, isn't it Jose.
-
Yeah, Matthew, I mean even just right off the bat,
-
you know that it points you right to there.
-
What these verses are saying. This is obviously in reference
-
to the angels who fell in Genesis chapter six. That is, yes,
-
it is, and it disturbs people. Whenever you compare these two,
-
the Hebrew and the Mysoretic text, take note when we
-
go there and read that from the Hebrew, it's you're
-
left scratching your head. You're like, wait a minute, how
-
are these to this different? But they are. I'll read
-
it from the New King James version that says this,
-
preserve me, o God, for in you I put my trust.
-
Oh my soul, you have said to the Lord you
-
are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from you.
-
For the saint tour in the year. They are the
-
excellent ones in whom is my delight. Their sorrow shall
-
be multiplied. Who he is an actor another god who
-
drink offerings of blood. I will not offer, nor will
-
I take their names on my lips. So if you
-
go to translate this from the Hebrew. You can quickly
-
see how the new King James version is playing with
-
the Hebrew words here, and yes, this is one way
-
you can interpret this. However, the Septuagint, there's no wishy washiness.
-
The Coinia Greek is exacting. It's very exacting. So it's
-
very disturbing when you realize what you're looking at here.
-
It makes you say, hey, what does the rest of
-
Psalm fifteen says? What does the rest of it say?
-
It must be pretty important. It's only eleven verses long,
-
and it's in its totality. But now that I bring
-
it out to you, you're setting there thinking, wait a minute.
-
Either Psalms fifteen is written off of Josea chapter two
-
starting in verse sixteen, or the other way around. Something's
-
going on here. So Jose, why don't you get over
-
to the Septuagint Psalm fifteen? Why don't you read all
-
eleven verses?
-
Okay?
-
Because I think it's got information we should see in it.
-
All right? So Psalm fifteen a Psalm of David guard
-
me O Lord, because on you I placed my hope.
-
I said to the Lord, you are my Lord, to
-
the holy ones who are in his earth. He magnified
-
all his decrees among them. Their weaknesses were in priest.
-
After these things, they were quickened. I will not gather
-
their gatherings from murders, nor will I ever remember their
-
names through my lips. The Lord is the portion of
-
my inheritance and of my cup. You are the one
-
who restores my inheritance to me. The measured portions fell
-
upon me in the best ways for my inheritance is
-
also best for me. I will bless the Lord, the
-
one who causes me to understand. Moreover, during the night,
-
my mind trained me. I saw the Lord in front
-
before me through everything, because he is from my right side,
-
that I would not be shaken. On account of this,
-
my heart was cheerful, and my tongue rejoiced exceedingly. Moreover,
-
my flesh will dwell in hope because you will not
-
abandon my soul in hades, nor will you give your
-
holy One to see destruction. You have made known to
-
me the ways of life. You will make me full
-
of cheer with your face. There are delights at your
-
right side.
-
Completely hurt some of those things before, haven't we Ho.
-
Was a absolutely Matthew.
-
Who will not be abandoned in haydens these things. Once
-
you bring these things up, you realize, wait a minute, boy,
-
these eleven verses were quite powerful. What's your impression of
-
Psalm fifteen?
-
Now, I mean, Matthew, this is It's just so clear, Matthew,
-
when you understand what's gonna happen, right, how God's going
-
to punish those angels that have been not doing their job,
-
that have been misleading not only God's people, but also
-
of course the rest of the inhabitants of the earth,
-
causing them to sin, causing them to cause hate and
-
destruction and evil in the world. Right, God's gonna judge them.
-
They're They're not going to get away with it, Matthew.
-
I couldn't even begin to fathom why they think they
-
could get away with this, or or why they would
-
even attempt it. But but that is what's happening, Matthew.
-
And God's told us that he's going to correct, He's
-
going to make this earth straight, He's going to make
-
his people straight, and in doing so, these figs are
-
going to fall from the vine. You know, Matthew. We
-
did that study on First Kings eighteen where Elijah challenges
-
the prophets of ball and and again of course they're
-
defeated and Elijah himself slaughters the prophet's a ball. He
-
takes them down to the brook Kishon to execute them there.
-
And when we did that study, we described that as
-
the angels being kicked out of heaven. You know that
-
that brook Kishon being the river in the heavens in
-
the milky way, right, this is God's a description of
-
how it's going to take place. And so, I mean
-
it's it's when you go through that chapter. I mean
-
you even have Elijah, you know, running to jezz Reel,
-
so so you know, I'm just just how just how
-
all these chapters tied together, Matthew, so so so tightly.
-
They're so tightly wound that you can't help. But if
-
you just read your Bible, Matthew, you just can't help.
-
But remember when God's told you this before. And yeah,
-
maybe when the first time you went through first King's
-
eighteen you didn't quite understand what he was talking about.
-
But by the time you get to Psalm fifteen, and
-
then by the time you get to Joseah chapter two,
-
and then you get to the book Revelation. Now when
-
you go back to read First Kings eighteen. Now it
-
all is going to it's all going to start to click, Matthew,
-
It's all going to start to make sense that God's
-
been telling us his plan from the beginning if we
-
would just slow down and you know, listen, so that
-
that's just a yeah, I'm gonna have to read through
-
versus are Psalms fifteen again because it is clearly saying
-
the same thing, Matthew that we read in Joseah chapter two.
-
Absolutely, Like I said, you can't separate the two. One
-
is a commentary off the other.
-
Yeah, yeah, that's that phrase, right, rescue, but do not
-
abandon my soul in hades? What what is that talking about, Matthew?
-
Yep?
-
Is that David saying that, Matthew.
-
That's certainly not David, right exactly exactly. You know, Rachel
-
and I got tied up in this a little bit
-
earlier today doing our Romans Bible study, which ladies and
-
gentlemen's not available on the program you're getting now, It's
-
only available on our Patreon. That's just me and my wife.
-
But anyway, we dived into do gender eschatology in Romans
-
chapter four because you can't get around it stares you
-
in the face of the Greek. So what this is
-
all in lieua of what Jose is hinting to is
-
the gender esque patology from Revelation chapter twelve. Okay, there
-
are three groups. There is always three groups, and you're
-
one of them. You are either the woman, you are
-
the male child, or you are the rest of her
-
children's And what is being referenced here is the last group,
-
the rest of her children. So anyway, let's take a
-
look at the next verse, because this is kind of chilling.
-
It doesn't make any sense why he says it. Just
-
doesn't make any sense why he says it. Verse eighteen,
-
and I will establish a treaty with them in that day,
-
and you're just not expecting it. You're expecting him to say, well,
-
you know you enemies, right, No, no, no, that's not
-
what he says right here in this verse. It amazes me, how, Jose,
-
when you hear people talk about the tribulation, they speak
-
about it as if like the sky is still blue, right, right,
-
there's still seasons. Right, even during the worst time in history,
-
You're still going to have spring, summer, fall, and winter, right,
-
you all, You'll always have the promise of spring. Right always,
-
if you knew this verse way before you started studying
-
what the theologians, because let's let's not let's not mince
-
any words here. I know very few theologians that are
-
actually Christians, and I could prove that in the court
-
of law. I could prove in the court of law
-
they are children of the devil her first John, Chapter three. Amen,
-
jose Amen, Matthew. So this verse is really chill. Who
-
you're going to establish it? Who do you need to
-
set up a treaty with? And I will establish a
-
treaty with them in that day, with the beast of
-
the field, and with the birds of the heavens and
-
the reptiles of the land, and I will crush bow
-
and sword and rabble from the land, and I will
-
establish you in hope. Hey, there we go, ladies and gentlemen.
-
This is why you need to understand that Revelation. Chapter six,
-
verse eight says this. Okay, it says this. It said
-
it was given them to slay a fourth part of
-
the earth. Now, let's talk about that. There's eight billion
-
people here now, right, jose Yes, Matthew, Well, what's the
-
fourth of eight billion? Who billion? Ladies and gentlemen, two
-
billion people are going to die. Two billion. Hearken to
-
my voice. It was given to them to slay a
-
fourth part of the earth with sword, famine, affluence, and
-
with the wild beast of the earth. And let me
-
add to that, this the battle of Arnageddon. Who devours
-
all the corpses? Jose, Well, that's the birds of the heavens?
-
Right, Yes, it's amazing that once you see it's obvious
-
here what God is saying here is that.
-
One of the primary things that's going to happen during
-
the Great Tribulation is the.
-
Animal kingdom will no longer recognize Adam's dominion. Let me
-
say that again, right now, animals can be trained kind
-
of been trained.
-
By men, right hosing, Correct, Matthew, you better get ready
-
because when the writers ride, because they ride at the
-
behest of the four spirits of heaven. You could existentially
-
prove this with Daniel chapter seven, right hose.
-
Right.
-
This happens at the same time that Ezekiel tells us
-
that the same four spirits, it's the same four spirits
-
of heaven stir up the dry bones. This happens simultaneously.
-
Learned it before the tribulation even gets started. A courtier
-
of the population is going to be plain. In this way,
-
nature is going to rebel against man. There'll be no
-
more having dogs for pets, Jose.
-
Right.
-
There won't be any circus acts with lions and tigers
-
and bears in them. This is extremely important that you
-
know this, ladies and gentlemen, and Jose, how many people
-
have pets now here? Let me ask you a different,
-
a gross question. The question I'm going to ask you
-
is extremely offensive to me. It makes me gnash my
-
teeth because when I grew up in the seventies this
-
was unheard of. But now, how many people have dogs
-
instead of children? Jose?
-
Yeah, there's a lot of that going on, Matthew, Yes.
-
How many People's right? I mean, oh my goodness, boy,
-
I have to really bite my tongue. I can really
-
go off the rails right now, because I mean, I'll
-
just be forthright with you, Jose. It's gotten to the point,
-
I mean, the birth rate has crashed to the point
-
where really most of these couples in their twenties they
-
don't want kids, They want a million dollars, and they're
-
really together just for financial gain, correct, I mean let's
-
not buy right, yes, so you can imagine, ladies and gentlemen,
-
God's gonna turn this on its head. This is coming
-
and you need to know that this is tied to
-
your hope. You didn't understand that, did you, jose Let
-
me ask you something, so who outnumbers? Who is there
-
more birds or people on the planet?
-
I would assume birds, Matthew.
-
Oh, yes, by a gross number. Riddle me this. How
-
many canines are there compared to humans? Now? By way
-
of Cainine, I mean all of them. I mean coyotes, wolves, canines,
-
Ladies and gentlemen. You need to wake up. As far
-
as the animal kingdom is concerned, you are a minority.
-
There is easily enough sparrows in my yard right now
-
kill me. If they wanted to kill me, they could
-
if they would attack in one spirit, in one unison.
-
Let me ask Cosey if if if you had thirty
-
sparrows in concerts attack you and the first thing they
-
take out is your eyes, would it be possible for
-
those thirty birds to kill you?
-
Absolutely? Matthew, oh you, oh.
-
You better wake up. They could do it with the quickness.
-
You better figure this out. In the beginning the Lord
-
your God gave you dominion and the great tribulation. He's
-
gonna reneg on that promise, and they will rip you
-
to strengths because you have hated the Lord, their God.
-
You have hated him, and you have served and worshiped
-
his princes instead because they would give you favors. This
-
very day I had a conversation. There was a get together.
-
There was a fundraiser. Rachel and I went to it.
-
There was a free will offering breakfast. We went there.
-
Wealthy landowner was there, of course, and was quite concerned
-
because one of the springs on his land had went dry.
-
This that only happened twice in his life, and he's
-
in his eighties. And he said, in order to adequately
-
resupply the spring, to re pickstart the spring on his land,
-
he knew that we needed at least three inches a
-
week for two months. And so it sounds like we
-
need to pray for rain. He didn't say anything. His
-
wife chied and said, well, we need to do a
-
rain dance. Yes, what immediately come to my mind when
-
she said that, I looked at her and I thought
-
to myself, Wow, ain't that what the profits of mail did?
-
Ladies and gentlemen. If God says he's going to re
-
establish a treaty between you and the animal kingdom. If
-
you need to hint, you ain't got a clue. You
-
might want to get rid of your pets and start
-
cleaving to your grandchildren. I'm just letting you know ahead
-
of time, because Hoseah chapter two establishes the when the
-
White established the contexts for Revelation chapter six, first eight. Yes,
-
yes it does, Yes, it does. Now I mentioned the
-
birds of the heavens, right, where is that talked about
-
ladies and gentlemen in the Book of Revelation? Who is
-
it that? Well, it amazed me how people forget things.
-
I'll read to you verse seventeen from chapter nineteen, when
-
I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he
-
cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds
-
that fly in the mid heaven come and gathered together
-
for the Great Supper.
-
Of Greek God.
-
Well, what do you know? The birds of heaven are
-
hearkening to the voice of one of the princes. If
-
you need a hint, you ain't got a clue. Let
-
me say that again. If you need a hint, you
-
ain't got a clue. Let's talk about Baylor. Riddle me, Jose,
-
how is it that Batim figured out that what there
-
was an ang you'll getting ready to killing? How do
-
you figure that out?
-
Yeah? His doggie had to tell them. Matthew.
-
You know.
-
A lot of people don't realize that one of the
-
good things you can get to protect the sheep or
-
any other type of cattle is a donkey. Did you
-
know that?
-
Yep, I got a friend that has that to protect
-
his cheap Matthew. Amen.
-
They don't play, do they?
-
No, they don't.
-
So I hopefully everybody's been able to put these verses
-
that I've given to you and aggregated them together, because
-
all this is coming from its event horizon was Jose
-
chapter two, So Ja it's it's o chapter two. So
-
these things are chilling to know that in the tribulation
-
we will no longer have dominion over the animal kingdom.
-
Well, Matthew, even before we get to that fourth seal
-
in chapter six of the Book of Revelation, you know,
-
when when all the heavens are declaring the lamb worthy
-
to open the seal, you have right there in verse thirteen,
-
what the what the creatures say about the Lamb right
-
mm mmmm, says every creature which is in heaven and
-
on the earth, and under the earth, and such as
-
are in the sea, and all of them on all
-
that are in them, I heard saying, blessing and honor
-
and glory and power be to him who sits on
-
the throne. Add to the Lamb forever and ever. Then
-
the four living creatures said, Amen. So to me, Matthew,
-
that's exactly what I just read in Hoseah chapter two,
-
God making that treaty, making that covenant with the beasts
-
of the field, the birds of the air, all this stuff. Matthew,
-
this is just it. And then and then we get
-
the forced seal, like you explained, a reworking of what
-
God the order God said in the beginning. So again, Matthew,
-
this is this is nothing we haven't heard before. But
-
God just continually continually gives us more and more detail,
-
reinforcing what He's already said and and not giving us
-
an excuse to play dumb. Matthew. We know what's coming,
-
we know what's going to happen. So to ignore God's commandments,
-
to ignore the beatitudes, and not act like a Christian,
-
it's just you know where we're We're sealing our own
-
fate if we do that, Matthew.
-
We are sealing our own fate. You know, I think
-
it's apropos that we pause for a second and just
-
ask this question. So, Jose, this is a true statement
-
that at the end the Lord Jesus Christ says he's
-
going to separate the sheep from the goats. Amena, Riddle
-
me this, Jose. Is are the goats in his flock?
-
Yes? They are, Matthew.
-
Did you hear that? Ladies and gentlemen. They might call
-
themselves Baptist, right, Jose. Right, they may call themselves Orthodox,
-
they might call themselves Episcopalian, but make no mistakes about it,
-
they call themselves the same thing you do. So wow,
-
fifteen more minutes to go, and we've just got tons
-
of stuff to cover. How does that happen? Jose?
-
How does that happen? All?
-
Right? Let me let me we we before before I come. Well,
-
let me just read it, okay, Verse nineteen of A
-
Jose Chapter two. And I will betrothed you to me
-
for eternity. And I will betroth you to me in
-
righteousness and in judgment, and with mercy, and with compassionate feelings.
-
So he just said, there's going to be an eternity, right, Jose, Yes,
-
So this is what is to come after the millennial
-
reign of Christ. Right, he will recreate the heavens and
-
and earth, and we will be the troth to him
-
in eternity. Because here is when God, the Father says
-
in the Book of Revelation that he will go from
-
tabernacling over us Revelation chapter seven. Right. The Greek is
-
very exacting. It says in Revelation chapter seven, when gathered
-
to the tabernacle of David, that he will tabernacle over you.
-
After he recreates the heavens and the earth. The Father
-
will tabernacle with you. The Greek says. That is in eternity.
-
Eternity is after the money in the reign of Christ,
-
when he recreates the heavens and the earth, after he
-
obliterates our enemy. Amen.
-
Amen, So.
-
Take note. It is only important that you've seen that
-
that he says, I will betrothe you for eternity. If
-
you needed a hint, you didn't have a clue. I
-
talked about this in the opening of this program. There
-
are birth pains coming, there's a great tribulation coming. We
-
are tribulationist. There is a millennial reign of Christ coming.
-
We are millennialist. And after that, after God recreates the
-
heavens and the earth, there's eternity, and we will be
-
betrothed to Him in that eternity without time. These things
-
are true. This is massively important to in my Bible prophecy,
-
because let's talk about the people that don't believe there's
-
a millennial or reign of Christ. So they don't believe
-
in any eternity, Jose.
-
That's what they're saying, Matthew. Are the ones that say
-
that Jesus is currently raning right now even though we
-
don't see his righteous Matthew, we don't see his judgment
-
the way he's promised us.
-
No, it's because they don't want no righteousness, Jose. Yep,
-
they don't want it. They don't want to live in
-
the millennial reign of Christ. So it's important that you've
-
seen that little Greek word there. You need to do
-
words study on that, right there, Ladies and gentlemen, if
-
you can, if you can get to those subtuge and
-
do it. So boy, these last verses, let let me
-
pass it over to Jose. Jose your thoughts up to
-
this point.
-
No, I think that's that's what I want to reiterate, Matthew.
-
I've I've heard repeatedly from you know, different Christian commentators
-
trying to trying to say that we are currently that
-
Christ is currently on the throne right now, and that
-
this is part of his millennial reign as explained in
-
the book Revelation. But you know, again, we and we've
-
gone over this before, Matthew, you just can't say that
-
that Jesus is on the throne, the Son is on
-
the throne when we still we see, we see all
-
the evil that is going on today, Matthew, and I
-
could make I could go through a whole list of
-
of everything that's still happening. To me, just and logically speaking,
-
and as a child of God yearning, I know this
-
is not how his millennial reign is going to look like. Matthew.
-
There's no way that all this stuff can be going on,
-
all this you know, murder and violence, and you know
-
injustice right, and this lack of of the people being
-
judged for the wrong they do. That's just not what
-
I'm seeing, Matthew. So I don't understand how how you
-
could say that that we are currently in the millennial
-
reign of Christ, that Jesus is currently on the throne,
-
that God's made made their at his footstool. That's just
-
not what I'm seeing, Matthew. So he will do that,
-
He will be faithful to complete everything he's promised here
-
in Jose chapter two. So so that's what That's what
-
I hope will provoke the listener to to look into
-
these verses more closely. If they believe those things, if
-
they believe that God has already put his son on
-
the throne and it's already been done and now we're
-
just waiting for that process to complete. That's just not
-
what I see, Matthew.
-
That's just not what you see.
-
Nope, Nope, nope. I won't. I just won't. I won't
-
accept that right now.
-
You got too much information, right, Yes, absolutely, I mean
-
you've just flat got too much information for that garbage.
-
He's just got too much information for it.
-
Amen.
-
So boy, these uh, this should be pretty right. Three
-
verses right, and it will be in that day, says
-
the Lord, that I will listen to the heavens and
-
I will listen to the earth. You know, here we
-
go again. When we go back to Revelation chapter twelve,
-
a listing of the entities there takes no you could
-
construe from this phraseology that the earth is a living organism,
-
right amen. I mean we're not going to dive into that.
-
But what does this mean, Jose? Are is what he's
-
saying here? Well, first off, we need to get our
-
feet on solid ground and you'll get to Heaven from here, Jose,
-
Is Heaven in outer space?
-
No we can't. No, No, we can't get to the
-
math here.
-
No, it's a different dimension, right right. We are in creation,
-
We're in cosmos. Heaven is not in cosmos. Now, the
-
Bible clearly says in the New Testament that it is
-
Christ that stands between the two. Christ reconciles creation back
-
to the Creator. It says that only He has ascended
-
and only He has descended, right, Jose, Right, which is
-
really what he's saying. So you need to understand this,
-
that this is saying there's going to be complete harmony
-
between that dimension of Heaven and the dimension of Earth,
-
and the only way that's going to happen is for
-
God to be on his throne in heaven. And the
-
son to be on his throne on earth. That's your
-
only way can happen. That's what he's saying. That's what
-
he means. Now he's getting ready to say something that's
-
just off the hook. Let me ask you this. This
-
is pretty pretty famous, right that the Bible says that
-
the earth groans, Yes, it longs for well, it longs
-
for God to get involved, right right, Write head down, ladies, Jentles,
-
you can look it up later verse twenty two of
-
Jose chapter two. And the earth will listen to the
-
grain and the wine and the olive oil, and they
-
will listen to Jezreel, and they will listen to jezreel.
-
So first off, let's just cut to the chase. Jezreel
-
means shown by God. So, Jose, what do you think?
-
Talk to me about this verse, and talk to me
-
about it quick, because we got seven minutes left.
-
Right. Well, Matthew, it just takes me back to Genesis
-
chapter four when Able's blood cries out from the ground
-
to God, right, and God hears it from his vantage point.
-
He hears that. So if that's the way it's supposed
-
to work, and it's not happening now, Matthew, God's telling
-
us that when he establishes his son's kingdom, that is
-
what's going to happen. That's how it's gonna work. Whatever
-
happens in Jezreel, whatever is sown in Jezreel, Matthew, God
-
will hear about it on his throne in heaven, and
-
it will be that direct line that'll follow through that
-
without any of those fallen interfering in that process. Matthew,
-
that's what I see in these verses here.
-
Well, he's getting ready to explain Dresrael, that's for sure.
-
He's getting ready to explain it. Who is going to
-
be son of God? Verse twenty three. And I will
-
sow her for myself upon the land, and I will
-
love her who was not love. And I will say
-
to not my people, you are my people. And he
-
will say you are the Lord, my God. Ladies and gentlemen.
-
This is a very poetic way to say that the
-
earth will hearken to our voice. What this is saying
-
is that when we become clothing to Christ, well, remember
-
those things when he said, Hey, if you got the
-
faith the side of a mustard seed, you can tell
-
this mountain to go throw itself in the sea and
-
it'll do it. Guess what it's going to do it.
-
He just gave you promises that are just Hoda. Have
-
you heard this before? Have you ever heard this that
-
in your resurrected body, you're gonna be able to do this?
-
Have you ever heard that before?
-
Yeah, I've heard people say things like that. Matthew.
-
Yes, this is where it came from. Right, There is
-
going to be equilibrium between heaven and earth. There will
-
be equilibrium because the Lord our God will be on
-
his throne in heaven and the Lord Jesus Christ will
-
be on his throne on earth. And when this happens,
-
those that are clothing to Christ we will be of
-
one flesh with him. We will be able to how
-
do many and over the earth and everything that's in
-
the earth. So, ladies and gentlemen, if you want to
-
have a garden, boy, will you be able to have
-
a garden because you will tell the tomato plants grow
-
and guess what they're going to do. I mean, that's
-
pretty off the hook, right.
-
Jose Amen. Matthew, Yeah, absolutely so.
-
We are at the top of the hour closing comments.
-
I mean, Matthew, this is you know, when when we
-
finished last time and I saw how many verses were
-
left in this chapter, you know, you start to think, well,
-
is that going to be enough to cover the whole hour?
-
But of course that that's a dumb question, because we
-
could probably go a whole other two hours and still
-
not not get everything in which which is a beautiful thing.
-
It's it's amazing. And again we could sit down and
-
do this saying these same versus next week Matthew, and
-
come up with the whole hour stuff.
-
It's just oh, yes, I could, Amen, have you heard me?
-
Have have you heard me tell the audience? Have you
-
heard me tell them to write down one strong number?
-
That I give them one strong number, just one. No, no, Jose,
-
oh Jose. I didn't share a quarter of what I could, Amen, Amen,
-
I only pointed out to you and brought your attention
-
to the subcuage version. I didn't tell I didn't give
-
you any data that is differentiated from this in the Masoretic.
-
I did I even mention Hebrew.
-
Nope.
-
I did say that it was translated prophetically. And when
-
you look at the subtuogen you can realize, well, you
-
can play with this translation, can't you? Because the Hebrews
-
are prophetic language because God took the valve from you,
-
didn't eat Jose. Right, so you can take one Hebrew
-
word and you can now now take word. Take note,
-
it'll have two or three different strongs entry for the
-
noun and two or three different strong entries for the verb.
-
I've showed you that many times, right, yes, So yeah,
-
you didn't get a quarter of what I could have
-
give you. Jose and I are just shining the light
-
in that direction. Now you know there's a tunnel going
-
that way. You're in a great big cave of God's word,
-
and Satan shepherds and their corrupt clergy that run the
-
churches have showed you so little, so little of this cave.
-
Jose and I just took a flashlight, pointed and that direction, said, hey,
-
there's a tunnel going that way, but just take no
-
so I know where there's six or seven different tunnels
-
here in the Book of Jose, but you never even
-
who existed. What I'm really trying to do is I'm
-
trying to get you excited. I'm trying to get you interested.
-
I'm trying to get your mind off the ballgame. And
-
it's nearly impossible isn't it. Jose, Yes, it is nearly impossible.
-
I mean, I'm trying to get your mind out of
-
the news, and it's just nearly impossible. But you'd be
-
surprised with the spirit of a living God can do right.
-
Jose Amen, Matthew, Amen, All right?
-
Well, pray us out of here, please.
-
Dear heavenly Father, whom we love and serve, I thank you,
-
and I give you praise for gathering us together. Father, Tonight,
-
I pray for those bad shepherds. I pray that if
-
there is any mercy in your heart for them, that
-
you that you have them repent. Father, You have them
-
repent for the way that they have misled your people. Lord,
-
you have told us what is going to happen to
-
those bad shepherds if they do not repent, if they
-
continue on in their ways and in leading your people
-
to hell. So, today's Lord, I ask if there is
-
any of those shepherds that are being acting as wolves
-
in sheep's clothing, if there is any way that you
-
can pull them from the fire, that you do so, Lord,
-
only so that it will be for your glory, and
-
only so that it will bring more sheep into your flock.
-
I don't understand. I don't understand why this is part
-
of your plan. I don't understand why this must happen.
-
I only know and I have faith that you are
-
allowing it to happen so that you may be glorified,
-
and so that more people will be brought to your son, Lord.
-
That is my hope. And I ask that you help
-
us as a ministry not fall into the trap of
-
the bad shepherds. That we be faithful to your word,
-
that we be faithful in your prayers, and that we
-
be faithful and edifying the ecclesia, so that we may
-
be ready for your coming, Father, and for the coming
-
of your son. And we ask all 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, godspeed.
