  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 mere Natha

  4. Ministries and now Redemption draweth nigh. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen,

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

  6. we're getting back to the Book of the Twelve. We're

  7. going to be diving deeper into Hoseah chapter two, and

  8. the Septuagint takes well, it takes a completely different turn here.

  9. We're going to get our feet wet in another part

  10. of the Bible that well, it's just it's unsettling. It

  11. really is unsettling some of the frost references that these

  12. verses go to. But it is interesting to me that

  13. that's let me explain something to everybody. The Hebrew New Testament,

  14. what Delich did. That is for the Old Testament prophecies.

  15. Just so you know, and you also need to know this,

  16. The Old Testament Greek is for the New Testament prophecies.

  17. If you didn't know that, if you were just now

  18. made aware of that fact, you have so much you

  19. could learn, You have so much you could learn. You know,

  20. today I was I was talking with someone born and

  21. raised in the church one more time, born and raised

  22. in the church.

  23. And.

  24. They didn't understand what people were saying. While I'm mid

  25. trib I'm you know, pre mill I'm post trib had

  26. no idea what they were talking about. They had no idea.

  27. I had to explain to them that the very basics

  28. of eschatology, of this first step is tribulationism. Now all

  29. depending on where you were raised. Now it's quite possible

  30. you could be like Jose's case. Jose really wasn't taught

  31. anything about aschatology. But you need to know this, This

  32. is a true statement. Many of the church doesn't believe

  33. there's ever going to be a great tribulation. They quite

  34. simply don't believe it. They believe that what happened with

  35. the Temple destruction in seventy eight, that was the answer

  36. to all the New Testament prophecies. So that's the first

  37. thing you need to understand, is tribulationism. Do you believe

  38. in it or not? I mean, if you take out

  39. the Book of Revelation and does the rest of the

  40. New Testament tell you unequivocably the Church of the Lord

  41. Jesus Christ is in for a hammering before he gets back.

  42. I mean, either you believe it or you don't. The

  43. other leg, because there's two legs, is millennialism. This comes

  44. as shock to a lot of people after Church doesn't

  45. believe there's such thing it's a millennial reign of Christ.

  46. They never think that Christ will come here physically and

  47. set up a physical kingdom over humanity. They completely reject

  48. Revelation chapter twenty, and it's completely rejected. So you need

  49. to know that there's many people that we talk about

  50. as chatology they don't even know. But you need to

  51. know those the two legs true tribulationism, either you believe

  52. it or not. There's going to be a great tribulation

  53. or there's not. And millennialism, you believe there's going to

  54. be a millennial reign of Christ or not. And if

  55. you don't at least know those things, maybe you've read

  56. the Bible. And that's what was the case, was this

  57. person they had read the Bible cover to cover and

  58. they've actually come to the correct conclusion because the Bible

  59. presents the plain reading prophecy model. The plain reading of

  60. the text produces exactly what all Christians believed for the

  61. first three hundred years of Christianity. Of course, there's a

  62. great tribulation that's on the way. That's what the Lord

  63. Jesus Christ said that, that's what he said. Of course,

  64. there's going to be a millennial reign of Christ. That's

  65. what he said. So if you are a student of

  66. Bible prophecy and you know what you believe, I'm here

  67. to tell you that if you didn't know what I aforementioned,

  68. there's a ton of informations you just quite simply don't

  69. know yet.

  70. Right, jose Correct, Matthew.

  71. They just don't understand what's actually there. They just don't

  72. understand what's actually there. So what's your opening comments about

  73. this short little bit of scripture from the septuagen jose.

  74. Well, Matthew, I mean, growing up in the church, I'd

  75. always heard the Gospels referring to Jesus as the bridegroom,

  76. and of course as to the Us as the bride. Right,

  77. that's what we're aiming for. So again, it wasn't until

  78. I really started getting in too serious Bible study with

  79. you in Marianathan ministries that, of course I came across

  80. passages like this, Matthew, were and the Old Testament God

  81. was saying was calling himself the husband. Right, That's just

  82. not how growing up as a Christian, how I thought

  83. about God, even though of course that's what we think about.

  84. The son and the Father and the son are one.

  85. So this is where you know, if if if people

  86. haven't been understanding the role that God plays with his people,

  87. how serious it is, Matthew, how serious he equates idolatry

  88. with adultery. It's it's for this very same reason, Matthew,

  89. when we commit to the Lord the Father and the

  90. Lord the Son, it's it's exactly like a marriage contract, Matthew.

  91. It's exactly like we're saying, he is our husband, and

  92. now he we it's in his house that we reside,

  93. and they're they're you know, just as as a marriage

  94. has has serious consequences for straying outside of those bounds,

  95. it's the same way with God and his people, Matthew.

  96. And so when you go reading through this, not only

  97. is that reinforced, but now he's he's giving you even

  98. more detail for how that's going to lay out, you know,

  99. with his son, Matthew. So this is just again The

  100. only way I can explain it is it's more de

  101. God's already told us this before, and he's told us

  102. over and over and over, and all he's doing here

  103. is just giving us more information, reinforcing what he's already

  104. told us, reinforcing what his son has told us. And

  105. again Matthew just giving us detailed, detailed information about what

  106. is to come. And it's a beautiful thing. Every time

  107. I read the Bible, that's it. This is what God

  108. always shows me.

  109. And you know how many people realize that Matthew twenty

  110. two is so vitally important to end time Bible prophecy,

  111. because the parable of the marriage is what's going to happen, right,

  112. it is what's going to happen. And in that parable, Jose,

  113. do you ever see the sun? No, you never see him,

  114. Ladies and gentlemen, you never see him. You never see him.

  115. When's the last time you read it? Okay? Because this

  116. is how that parable ends verse thirteen with Matthew Chapter

  117. twenty two. Then the game said to the attendants, buying

  118. the hands of feet, and carry him out and cap

  119. me to the outer darkness creeping. A nation of teith

  120. will be there for many are cold, but few are chosen.

  121. You should be able to at least understand this. This

  122. is when God is planning on building his temple with you,

  123. and the sun never shows up. You never. This is

  124. a marriage banquet that you never get the witness, do you, Jose?

  125. It's not here? No, so man so much. And you're

  126. right with this short burst of in information here in

  127. the latter part of Jose chapter two. And like I said,

  128. some of the cross references just well, we're just gonna

  129. have to get to it and and just just get

  130. dirty with it. So are you going to read this

  131. week or you want me to read? Yeah?

  132. I can read Matthew, Okay, do love a lot of verses,

  133. so hopefully I can handle it.

  134. Amen, all right, So I'm.

  135. Reading out of the Lexum English septuagen. We're in Hosea

  136. chapter two, and I'm going to read from verse sixteen

  137. to the end. And they will be in that day,

  138. says the Lord. She will call me my husband, and

  139. she will no longer call me ball. And I will

  140. remove the names of the balls from her mouth, and

  141. the names will not be remembered again. And I will

  142. establish a treaty with them in that day with the

  143. beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens,

  144. and the reptiles of the land. And I will crush

  145. bow and sword and battle from the land. And I

  146. will establish you in hope. And I will betrothe you

  147. to me for eternity. And I will betrothe you to

  148. me in righteousness and in judgment, and with mercy, and

  149. with compassionate feelings. And I will betrothe you to me

  150. in trust, and you will recognize the Lord. And it

  151. will be in that day, says the Lord. I will

  152. listen to the heavens, and it will listen to the earth,

  153. and the earth will listen to the grain and the

  154. wine and the olive oil, and they will listen to Jezreel.

  155. And I will sow her for myself upon the land.

  156. And I will love her who has not loved. And

  157. I will say to not my people, you are my people.

  158. And he will say you are the Lord, my God.

  159. Good stuff, yes, of very good stuff. What sticks out to.

  160. You, Well, just that transition, man, you from ball or

  161. master to husband. We I think most of us, you know,

  162. in our minds, can can comprehend God being our master.

  163. He created us. We're supposed to follow his commandments. You know,

  164. we're we're here because at because of His will. So

  165. you know, it's it's it's almost in essence like a father, right,

  166. And we can understand that concept of you know, I'm

  167. gonna I'm gonna follow the commandments. You know, I'm gonna

  168. read my Bible, I'm gonna say my prayers. I'm gonna

  169. be a Christian because God has commanded me to do that.

  170. And that resonates for a lot of us that grew

  171. up as Christians, Matthew. But just as hard as it

  172. is for for a man, especially to understand that he's

  173. going to be the bride to the bridegroom, to understand

  174. that God says that he is going to be our husband,

  175. that's just you know that that when I first started

  176. to understand that concept, Matthew, blew my mind that this

  177. is how God looks at us. And of course, you know,

  178. in our flesh, we we look at the at the

  179. the carnal natural meanings of being a husband. But obviously

  180. that's not what God is talking about. He's talking about

  181. our husband as in a spiritual sense, a true connection,

  182. a true bond, a true marriage, a true becoming of

  183. one like a husband and a wife, a bride in

  184. a bridegroom. But still, you know, when you first start

  185. to realize this is what God wants, it goes way beyond,

  186. you know, just following the ten commands. Matthew, That's that's

  187. what strikes me when I when I read this chapter

  188. or this set of verses.

  189. Here, what is in play here is the cleaving. Yes,

  190. we as a body will be cloven to Christ. The

  191. two will become one flesh.

  192. Amen. Amen.

  193. So we also need to understand this that Jeremiah chapter

  194. eight is very clear. Obviously, this is still being practice,

  195. has always been practiced quite simply. The balls here, the

  196. baulin here, make no mistakes about it. Ladies and gentlemen.

  197. What's being talked about here is the worshiping of the

  198. princes of heaven. Jeremiah chapter Eight's very clear, and there

  199. is no doubt that this is what especially the wealthy

  200. people on this planet do. This is what they do,

  201. that's what they've done. They worship these seventy princes. Make

  202. no mistakes about it. And you have to realize that

  203. there is coming a time when that system of authority

  204. is done away with. It's completely done away with. And

  205. this is prophetically hinting at that you know this, I

  206. like how verse seventeen puts it here, and I will

  207. remove the names of the balls from her mouth. This

  208. triggers remembrancers with meay, Exodus twenty three thirteen, you shall

  209. observe all the things that I've said to you, and

  210. you shall not bring the name of other gods the mind.

  211. It will not even be heard coming out of your mouth.

  212. Of course, we know that what this details here is

  213. that the original Covenant was just violated and violated and

  214. violated and violated and violated until God just rejected. Here,

  215. he's obviously alluding to the new Covenant. That's why these

  216. verses say what they say, Joshua twenty three, verse seven,

  217. so that you might not go to these nations left behind,

  218. and the names of their gods will not be remembered

  219. among you. Neither shall you in any way bow down

  220. to them or serve them. Here again is direct phraseology,

  221. straight taking you straight to Jeremiah chapter eight. What happened

  222. when they fall? And jose they will fall, they will

  223. be here during the tribulation. One third of the host

  224. of heaven will be here. So my last cross references.

  225. Most people know these verses, but they don't know it

  226. from the Subtuagan. In the Subtiligent, this is Psalms fifteen.

  227. In the Hebrew Psalm sixteen. I'm going to read this

  228. stands of from the Septuagin. Now, like I said, if

  229. you've got a Hebrew based Bible, you want to turn

  230. to the next chapter. You want to turn to Psalm sixteen.

  231. But in the Septuagent this is Psalm fifteen. Bardmeo, Lord,

  232. because upon you I place my hope. Now take note, Jose.

  233. Chapter two just said that you would be established in hope. Right, Jose,

  234. you remember that? Right? So yes, put this in your

  235. back pocket. I said to the Lord, you are my lord.

  236. Here you go again. This phraseology is coming from phrases

  237. said from the wife to the husband verse three. To

  238. the holy ones who are in his earth, he magnified

  239. all his decrees among them, their weakness was increased. After

  240. these things, they were quickened. I will not gather their

  241. gatherings from murderers, nor will I ever remember their names

  242. on my lips. Once I read that opening stanza from

  243. the Subtuagen, you would think it is literally talking about

  244. the same exact thing. Josea chapter two, starting in verse

  245. fifteen sixteen is talking about. It is, isn't it Jose.

  246. Yeah, Matthew, I mean even just right off the bat,

  247. you know that it points you right to there.

  248. What these verses are saying. This is obviously in reference

  249. to the angels who fell in Genesis chapter six. That is, yes,

  250. it is, and it disturbs people. Whenever you compare these two,

  251. the Hebrew and the Mysoretic text, take note when we

  252. go there and read that from the Hebrew, it's you're

  253. left scratching your head. You're like, wait a minute, how

  254. are these to this different? But they are. I'll read

  255. it from the New King James version that says this,

  256. preserve me, o God, for in you I put my trust.

  257. Oh my soul, you have said to the Lord you

  258. are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from you.

  259. For the saint tour in the year. They are the

  260. excellent ones in whom is my delight. Their sorrow shall

  261. be multiplied. Who he is an actor another god who

  262. drink offerings of blood. I will not offer, nor will

  263. I take their names on my lips. So if you

  264. go to translate this from the Hebrew. You can quickly

  265. see how the new King James version is playing with

  266. the Hebrew words here, and yes, this is one way

  267. you can interpret this. However, the Septuagint, there's no wishy washiness.

  268. The Coinia Greek is exacting. It's very exacting. So it's

  269. very disturbing when you realize what you're looking at here.

  270. It makes you say, hey, what does the rest of

  271. Psalm fifteen says? What does the rest of it say?

  272. It must be pretty important. It's only eleven verses long,

  273. and it's in its totality. But now that I bring

  274. it out to you, you're setting there thinking, wait a minute.

  275. Either Psalms fifteen is written off of Josea chapter two

  276. starting in verse sixteen, or the other way around. Something's

  277. going on here. So Jose, why don't you get over

  278. to the Septuagint Psalm fifteen? Why don't you read all

  279. eleven verses?

  280. Okay?

  281. Because I think it's got information we should see in it.

  282. All right? So Psalm fifteen a Psalm of David guard

  283. me O Lord, because on you I placed my hope.

  284. I said to the Lord, you are my Lord, to

  285. the holy ones who are in his earth. He magnified

  286. all his decrees among them. Their weaknesses were in priest.

  287. After these things, they were quickened. I will not gather

  288. their gatherings from murders, nor will I ever remember their

  289. names through my lips. The Lord is the portion of

  290. my inheritance and of my cup. You are the one

  291. who restores my inheritance to me. The measured portions fell

  292. upon me in the best ways for my inheritance is

  293. also best for me. I will bless the Lord, the

  294. one who causes me to understand. Moreover, during the night,

  295. my mind trained me. I saw the Lord in front

  296. before me through everything, because he is from my right side,

  297. that I would not be shaken. On account of this,

  298. my heart was cheerful, and my tongue rejoiced exceedingly. Moreover,

  299. my flesh will dwell in hope because you will not

  300. abandon my soul in hades, nor will you give your

  301. holy One to see destruction. You have made known to

  302. me the ways of life. You will make me full

  303. of cheer with your face. There are delights at your

  304. right side.

  305. Completely hurt some of those things before, haven't we Ho.

  306. Was a absolutely Matthew.

  307. Who will not be abandoned in haydens these things. Once

  308. you bring these things up, you realize, wait a minute, boy,

  309. these eleven verses were quite powerful. What's your impression of

  310. Psalm fifteen?

  311. Now, I mean, Matthew, this is It's just so clear, Matthew,

  312. when you understand what's gonna happen, right, how God's going

  313. to punish those angels that have been not doing their job,

  314. that have been misleading not only God's people, but also

  315. of course the rest of the inhabitants of the earth,

  316. causing them to sin, causing them to cause hate and

  317. destruction and evil in the world. Right, God's gonna judge them.

  318. They're They're not going to get away with it, Matthew.

  319. I couldn't even begin to fathom why they think they

  320. could get away with this, or or why they would

  321. even attempt it. But but that is what's happening, Matthew.

  322. And God's told us that he's going to correct, He's

  323. going to make this earth straight, He's going to make

  324. his people straight, and in doing so, these figs are

  325. going to fall from the vine. You know, Matthew. We

  326. did that study on First Kings eighteen where Elijah challenges

  327. the prophets of ball and and again of course they're

  328. defeated and Elijah himself slaughters the prophet's a ball. He

  329. takes them down to the brook Kishon to execute them there.

  330. And when we did that study, we described that as

  331. the angels being kicked out of heaven. You know that

  332. that brook Kishon being the river in the heavens in

  333. the milky way, right, this is God's a description of

  334. how it's going to take place. And so, I mean

  335. it's it's when you go through that chapter. I mean

  336. you even have Elijah, you know, running to jezz Reel,

  337. so so you know, I'm just just how just how

  338. all these chapters tied together, Matthew, so so so tightly.

  339. They're so tightly wound that you can't help. But if

  340. you just read your Bible, Matthew, you just can't help.

  341. But remember when God's told you this before. And yeah,

  342. maybe when the first time you went through first King's

  343. eighteen you didn't quite understand what he was talking about.

  344. But by the time you get to Psalm fifteen, and

  345. then by the time you get to Joseah chapter two,

  346. and then you get to the book Revelation. Now when

  347. you go back to read First Kings eighteen. Now it

  348. all is going to it's all going to start to click, Matthew,

  349. It's all going to start to make sense that God's

  350. been telling us his plan from the beginning if we

  351. would just slow down and you know, listen, so that

  352. that's just a yeah, I'm gonna have to read through

  353. versus are Psalms fifteen again because it is clearly saying

  354. the same thing, Matthew that we read in Joseah chapter two.

  355. Absolutely, Like I said, you can't separate the two. One

  356. is a commentary off the other.

  357. Yeah, yeah, that's that phrase, right, rescue, but do not

  358. abandon my soul in hades? What what is that talking about, Matthew?

  359. Yep?

  360. Is that David saying that, Matthew.

  361. That's certainly not David, right exactly exactly. You know, Rachel

  362. and I got tied up in this a little bit

  363. earlier today doing our Romans Bible study, which ladies and

  364. gentlemen's not available on the program you're getting now, It's

  365. only available on our Patreon. That's just me and my wife.

  366. But anyway, we dived into do gender eschatology in Romans

  367. chapter four because you can't get around it stares you

  368. in the face of the Greek. So what this is

  369. all in lieua of what Jose is hinting to is

  370. the gender esque patology from Revelation chapter twelve. Okay, there

  371. are three groups. There is always three groups, and you're

  372. one of them. You are either the woman, you are

  373. the male child, or you are the rest of her

  374. children's And what is being referenced here is the last group,

  375. the rest of her children. So anyway, let's take a

  376. look at the next verse, because this is kind of chilling.

  377. It doesn't make any sense why he says it. Just

  378. doesn't make any sense why he says it. Verse eighteen,

  379. and I will establish a treaty with them in that day,

  380. and you're just not expecting it. You're expecting him to say, well,

  381. you know you enemies, right, No, no, no, that's not

  382. what he says right here in this verse. It amazes me, how, Jose,

  383. when you hear people talk about the tribulation, they speak

  384. about it as if like the sky is still blue, right, right,

  385. there's still seasons. Right, even during the worst time in history,

  386. You're still going to have spring, summer, fall, and winter, right,

  387. you all, You'll always have the promise of spring. Right always,

  388. if you knew this verse way before you started studying

  389. what the theologians, because let's let's not let's not mince

  390. any words here. I know very few theologians that are

  391. actually Christians, and I could prove that in the court

  392. of law. I could prove in the court of law

  393. they are children of the devil her first John, Chapter three. Amen,

  394. jose Amen, Matthew. So this verse is really chill. Who

  395. you're going to establish it? Who do you need to

  396. set up a treaty with? And I will establish a

  397. treaty with them in that day, with the beast of

  398. the field, and with the birds of the heavens and

  399. the reptiles of the land, and I will crush bow

  400. and sword and rabble from the land, and I will

  401. establish you in hope. Hey, there we go, ladies and gentlemen.

  402. This is why you need to understand that Revelation. Chapter six,

  403. verse eight says this. Okay, it says this. It said

  404. it was given them to slay a fourth part of

  405. the earth. Now, let's talk about that. There's eight billion

  406. people here now, right, jose Yes, Matthew, Well, what's the

  407. fourth of eight billion? Who billion? Ladies and gentlemen, two

  408. billion people are going to die. Two billion. Hearken to

  409. my voice. It was given to them to slay a

  410. fourth part of the earth with sword, famine, affluence, and

  411. with the wild beast of the earth. And let me

  412. add to that, this the battle of Arnageddon. Who devours

  413. all the corpses? Jose, Well, that's the birds of the heavens?

  414. Right, Yes, it's amazing that once you see it's obvious

  415. here what God is saying here is that.

  416. One of the primary things that's going to happen during

  417. the Great Tribulation is the.

  418. Animal kingdom will no longer recognize Adam's dominion. Let me

  419. say that again, right now, animals can be trained kind

  420. of been trained.

  421. By men, right hosing, Correct, Matthew, you better get ready

  422. because when the writers ride, because they ride at the

  423. behest of the four spirits of heaven. You could existentially

  424. prove this with Daniel chapter seven, right hose.

  425. Right.

  426. This happens at the same time that Ezekiel tells us

  427. that the same four spirits, it's the same four spirits

  428. of heaven stir up the dry bones. This happens simultaneously.

  429. Learned it before the tribulation even gets started. A courtier

  430. of the population is going to be plain. In this way,

  431. nature is going to rebel against man. There'll be no

  432. more having dogs for pets, Jose.

  433. Right.

  434. There won't be any circus acts with lions and tigers

  435. and bears in them. This is extremely important that you

  436. know this, ladies and gentlemen, and Jose, how many people

  437. have pets now here? Let me ask you a different,

  438. a gross question. The question I'm going to ask you

  439. is extremely offensive to me. It makes me gnash my

  440. teeth because when I grew up in the seventies this

  441. was unheard of. But now, how many people have dogs

  442. instead of children? Jose?

  443. Yeah, there's a lot of that going on, Matthew, Yes.

  444. How many People's right? I mean, oh my goodness, boy,

  445. I have to really bite my tongue. I can really

  446. go off the rails right now, because I mean, I'll

  447. just be forthright with you, Jose. It's gotten to the point,

  448. I mean, the birth rate has crashed to the point

  449. where really most of these couples in their twenties they

  450. don't want kids, They want a million dollars, and they're

  451. really together just for financial gain, correct, I mean let's

  452. not buy right, yes, so you can imagine, ladies and gentlemen,

  453. God's gonna turn this on its head. This is coming

  454. and you need to know that this is tied to

  455. your hope. You didn't understand that, did you, jose Let

  456. me ask you something, so who outnumbers? Who is there

  457. more birds or people on the planet?

  458. I would assume birds, Matthew.

  459. Oh, yes, by a gross number. Riddle me this. How

  460. many canines are there compared to humans? Now? By way

  461. of Cainine, I mean all of them. I mean coyotes, wolves, canines,

  462. Ladies and gentlemen. You need to wake up. As far

  463. as the animal kingdom is concerned, you are a minority.

  464. There is easily enough sparrows in my yard right now

  465. kill me. If they wanted to kill me, they could

  466. if they would attack in one spirit, in one unison.

  467. Let me ask Cosey if if if you had thirty

  468. sparrows in concerts attack you and the first thing they

  469. take out is your eyes, would it be possible for

  470. those thirty birds to kill you?

  471. Absolutely? Matthew, oh you, oh.

  472. You better wake up. They could do it with the quickness.

  473. You better figure this out. In the beginning the Lord

  474. your God gave you dominion and the great tribulation. He's

  475. gonna reneg on that promise, and they will rip you

  476. to strengths because you have hated the Lord, their God.

  477. You have hated him, and you have served and worshiped

  478. his princes instead because they would give you favors. This

  479. very day I had a conversation. There was a get together.

  480. There was a fundraiser. Rachel and I went to it.

  481. There was a free will offering breakfast. We went there.

  482. Wealthy landowner was there, of course, and was quite concerned

  483. because one of the springs on his land had went dry.

  484. This that only happened twice in his life, and he's

  485. in his eighties. And he said, in order to adequately

  486. resupply the spring, to re pickstart the spring on his land,

  487. he knew that we needed at least three inches a

  488. week for two months. And so it sounds like we

  489. need to pray for rain. He didn't say anything. His

  490. wife chied and said, well, we need to do a

  491. rain dance. Yes, what immediately come to my mind when

  492. she said that, I looked at her and I thought

  493. to myself, Wow, ain't that what the profits of mail did?

  494. Ladies and gentlemen. If God says he's going to re

  495. establish a treaty between you and the animal kingdom. If

  496. you need to hint, you ain't got a clue. You

  497. might want to get rid of your pets and start

  498. cleaving to your grandchildren. I'm just letting you know ahead

  499. of time, because Hoseah chapter two establishes the when the

  500. White established the contexts for Revelation chapter six, first eight. Yes,

  501. yes it does, Yes, it does. Now I mentioned the

  502. birds of the heavens, right, where is that talked about

  503. ladies and gentlemen in the Book of Revelation? Who is

  504. it that? Well, it amazed me how people forget things.

  505. I'll read to you verse seventeen from chapter nineteen, when

  506. I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he

  507. cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds

  508. that fly in the mid heaven come and gathered together

  509. for the Great Supper.

  510. Of Greek God.

  511. Well, what do you know? The birds of heaven are

  512. hearkening to the voice of one of the princes. If

  513. you need a hint, you ain't got a clue. Let

  514. me say that again. If you need a hint, you

  515. ain't got a clue. Let's talk about Baylor. Riddle me, Jose,

  516. how is it that Batim figured out that what there

  517. was an ang you'll getting ready to killing? How do

  518. you figure that out?

  519. Yeah? His doggie had to tell them. Matthew.

  520. You know.

  521. A lot of people don't realize that one of the

  522. good things you can get to protect the sheep or

  523. any other type of cattle is a donkey. Did you

  524. know that?

  525. Yep, I got a friend that has that to protect

  526. his cheap Matthew. Amen.

  527. They don't play, do they?

  528. No, they don't.

  529. So I hopefully everybody's been able to put these verses

  530. that I've given to you and aggregated them together, because

  531. all this is coming from its event horizon was Jose

  532. chapter two, So Ja it's it's o chapter two. So

  533. these things are chilling to know that in the tribulation

  534. we will no longer have dominion over the animal kingdom.

  535. Well, Matthew, even before we get to that fourth seal

  536. in chapter six of the Book of Revelation, you know,

  537. when when all the heavens are declaring the lamb worthy

  538. to open the seal, you have right there in verse thirteen,

  539. what the what the creatures say about the Lamb right

  540. mm mmmm, says every creature which is in heaven and

  541. on the earth, and under the earth, and such as

  542. are in the sea, and all of them on all

  543. that are in them, I heard saying, blessing and honor

  544. and glory and power be to him who sits on

  545. the throne. Add to the Lamb forever and ever. Then

  546. the four living creatures said, Amen. So to me, Matthew,

  547. that's exactly what I just read in Hoseah chapter two,

  548. God making that treaty, making that covenant with the beasts

  549. of the field, the birds of the air, all this stuff. Matthew,

  550. this is just it. And then and then we get

  551. the forced seal, like you explained, a reworking of what

  552. God the order God said in the beginning. So again, Matthew,

  553. this is this is nothing we haven't heard before. But

  554. God just continually continually gives us more and more detail,

  555. reinforcing what He's already said and and not giving us

  556. an excuse to play dumb. Matthew. We know what's coming,

  557. we know what's going to happen. So to ignore God's commandments,

  558. to ignore the beatitudes, and not act like a Christian,

  559. it's just you know where we're We're sealing our own

  560. fate if we do that, Matthew.

  561. We are sealing our own fate. You know, I think

  562. it's apropos that we pause for a second and just

  563. ask this question. So, Jose, this is a true statement

  564. that at the end the Lord Jesus Christ says he's

  565. going to separate the sheep from the goats. Amena, Riddle

  566. me this, Jose. Is are the goats in his flock?

  567. Yes? They are, Matthew.

  568. Did you hear that? Ladies and gentlemen. They might call

  569. themselves Baptist, right, Jose. Right, they may call themselves Orthodox,

  570. they might call themselves Episcopalian, but make no mistakes about it,

  571. they call themselves the same thing you do. So wow,

  572. fifteen more minutes to go, and we've just got tons

  573. of stuff to cover. How does that happen? Jose?

  574. How does that happen? All?

  575. Right? Let me let me we we before before I come. Well,

  576. let me just read it, okay, Verse nineteen of A

  577. Jose Chapter two. And I will betrothed you to me

  578. for eternity. And I will betroth you to me in

  579. righteousness and in judgment, and with mercy, and with compassionate feelings.

  580. So he just said, there's going to be an eternity, right, Jose, Yes,

  581. So this is what is to come after the millennial

  582. reign of Christ. Right, he will recreate the heavens and

  583. and earth, and we will be the troth to him

  584. in eternity. Because here is when God, the Father says

  585. in the Book of Revelation that he will go from

  586. tabernacling over us Revelation chapter seven. Right. The Greek is

  587. very exacting. It says in Revelation chapter seven, when gathered

  588. to the tabernacle of David, that he will tabernacle over you.

  589. After he recreates the heavens and the earth. The Father

  590. will tabernacle with you. The Greek says. That is in eternity.

  591. Eternity is after the money in the reign of Christ,

  592. when he recreates the heavens and the earth, after he

  593. obliterates our enemy. Amen.

  594. Amen, So.

  595. Take note. It is only important that you've seen that

  596. that he says, I will betrothe you for eternity. If

  597. you needed a hint, you didn't have a clue. I

  598. talked about this in the opening of this program. There

  599. are birth pains coming, there's a great tribulation coming. We

  600. are tribulationist. There is a millennial reign of Christ coming.

  601. We are millennialist. And after that, after God recreates the

  602. heavens and the earth, there's eternity, and we will be

  603. betrothed to Him in that eternity without time. These things

  604. are true. This is massively important to in my Bible prophecy,

  605. because let's talk about the people that don't believe there's

  606. a millennial or reign of Christ. So they don't believe

  607. in any eternity, Jose.

  608. That's what they're saying, Matthew. Are the ones that say

  609. that Jesus is currently raning right now even though we

  610. don't see his righteous Matthew, we don't see his judgment

  611. the way he's promised us.

  612. No, it's because they don't want no righteousness, Jose. Yep,

  613. they don't want it. They don't want to live in

  614. the millennial reign of Christ. So it's important that you've

  615. seen that little Greek word there. You need to do

  616. words study on that, right there, Ladies and gentlemen, if

  617. you can, if you can get to those subtuge and

  618. do it. So boy, these last verses, let let me

  619. pass it over to Jose. Jose your thoughts up to

  620. this point.

  621. No, I think that's that's what I want to reiterate, Matthew.

  622. I've I've heard repeatedly from you know, different Christian commentators

  623. trying to trying to say that we are currently that

  624. Christ is currently on the throne right now, and that

  625. this is part of his millennial reign as explained in

  626. the book Revelation. But you know, again, we and we've

  627. gone over this before, Matthew, you just can't say that

  628. that Jesus is on the throne, the Son is on

  629. the throne when we still we see, we see all

  630. the evil that is going on today, Matthew, and I

  631. could make I could go through a whole list of

  632. of everything that's still happening. To me, just and logically speaking,

  633. and as a child of God yearning, I know this

  634. is not how his millennial reign is going to look like. Matthew.

  635. There's no way that all this stuff can be going on,

  636. all this you know, murder and violence, and you know

  637. injustice right, and this lack of of the people being

  638. judged for the wrong they do. That's just not what

  639. I'm seeing, Matthew. So I don't understand how how you

  640. could say that that we are currently in the millennial

  641. reign of Christ, that Jesus is currently on the throne,

  642. that God's made made their at his footstool. That's just

  643. not what I'm seeing, Matthew. So he will do that,

  644. He will be faithful to complete everything he's promised here

  645. in Jose chapter two. So so that's what That's what

  646. I hope will provoke the listener to to look into

  647. these verses more closely. If they believe those things, if

  648. they believe that God has already put his son on

  649. the throne and it's already been done and now we're

  650. just waiting for that process to complete. That's just not

  651. what I see, Matthew.

  652. That's just not what you see.

  653. Nope, Nope, nope. I won't. I just won't. I won't

  654. accept that right now.

  655. You got too much information, right, Yes, absolutely, I mean

  656. you've just flat got too much information for that garbage.

  657. He's just got too much information for it.

  658. Amen.

  659. So boy, these uh, this should be pretty right. Three

  660. verses right, and it will be in that day, says

  661. the Lord, that I will listen to the heavens and

  662. I will listen to the earth. You know, here we

  663. go again. When we go back to Revelation chapter twelve,

  664. a listing of the entities there takes no you could

  665. construe from this phraseology that the earth is a living organism,

  666. right amen. I mean we're not going to dive into that.

  667. But what does this mean, Jose? Are is what he's

  668. saying here? Well, first off, we need to get our

  669. feet on solid ground and you'll get to Heaven from here, Jose,

  670. Is Heaven in outer space?

  671. No we can't. No, No, we can't get to the

  672. math here.

  673. No, it's a different dimension, right right. We are in creation,

  674. We're in cosmos. Heaven is not in cosmos. Now, the

  675. Bible clearly says in the New Testament that it is

  676. Christ that stands between the two. Christ reconciles creation back

  677. to the Creator. It says that only He has ascended

  678. and only He has descended, right, Jose, Right, which is

  679. really what he's saying. So you need to understand this,

  680. that this is saying there's going to be complete harmony

  681. between that dimension of Heaven and the dimension of Earth,

  682. and the only way that's going to happen is for

  683. God to be on his throne in heaven. And the

  684. son to be on his throne on earth. That's your

  685. only way can happen. That's what he's saying. That's what

  686. he means. Now he's getting ready to say something that's

  687. just off the hook. Let me ask you this. This

  688. is pretty pretty famous, right that the Bible says that

  689. the earth groans, Yes, it longs for well, it longs

  690. for God to get involved, right right, Write head down, ladies, Jentles,

  691. you can look it up later verse twenty two of

  692. Jose chapter two. And the earth will listen to the

  693. grain and the wine and the olive oil, and they

  694. will listen to Jezreel, and they will listen to jezreel.

  695. So first off, let's just cut to the chase. Jezreel

  696. means shown by God. So, Jose, what do you think?

  697. Talk to me about this verse, and talk to me

  698. about it quick, because we got seven minutes left.

  699. Right. Well, Matthew, it just takes me back to Genesis

  700. chapter four when Able's blood cries out from the ground

  701. to God, right, and God hears it from his vantage point.

  702. He hears that. So if that's the way it's supposed

  703. to work, and it's not happening now, Matthew, God's telling

  704. us that when he establishes his son's kingdom, that is

  705. what's going to happen. That's how it's gonna work. Whatever

  706. happens in Jezreel, whatever is sown in Jezreel, Matthew, God

  707. will hear about it on his throne in heaven, and

  708. it will be that direct line that'll follow through that

  709. without any of those fallen interfering in that process. Matthew,

  710. that's what I see in these verses here.

  711. Well, he's getting ready to explain Dresrael, that's for sure.

  712. He's getting ready to explain it. Who is going to

  713. be son of God? Verse twenty three. And I will

  714. sow her for myself upon the land, and I will

  715. love her who was not love. And I will say

  716. to not my people, you are my people. And he

  717. will say you are the Lord, my God. Ladies and gentlemen.

  718. This is a very poetic way to say that the

  719. earth will hearken to our voice. What this is saying

  720. is that when we become clothing to Christ, well, remember

  721. those things when he said, Hey, if you got the

  722. faith the side of a mustard seed, you can tell

  723. this mountain to go throw itself in the sea and

  724. it'll do it. Guess what it's going to do it.

  725. He just gave you promises that are just Hoda. Have

  726. you heard this before? Have you ever heard this that

  727. in your resurrected body, you're gonna be able to do this?

  728. Have you ever heard that before?

  729. Yeah, I've heard people say things like that. Matthew.

  730. Yes, this is where it came from. Right, There is

  731. going to be equilibrium between heaven and earth. There will

  732. be equilibrium because the Lord our God will be on

  733. his throne in heaven and the Lord Jesus Christ will

  734. be on his throne on earth. And when this happens,

  735. those that are clothing to Christ we will be of

  736. one flesh with him. We will be able to how

  737. do many and over the earth and everything that's in

  738. the earth. So, ladies and gentlemen, if you want to

  739. have a garden, boy, will you be able to have

  740. a garden because you will tell the tomato plants grow

  741. and guess what they're going to do. I mean, that's

  742. pretty off the hook, right.

  743. Jose Amen. Matthew, Yeah, absolutely so.

  744. We are at the top of the hour closing comments.

  745. I mean, Matthew, this is you know, when when we

  746. finished last time and I saw how many verses were

  747. left in this chapter, you know, you start to think, well,

  748. is that going to be enough to cover the whole hour?

  749. But of course that that's a dumb question, because we

  750. could probably go a whole other two hours and still

  751. not not get everything in which which is a beautiful thing.

  752. It's it's amazing. And again we could sit down and

  753. do this saying these same versus next week Matthew, and

  754. come up with the whole hour stuff.

  755. It's just oh, yes, I could, Amen, have you heard me?

  756. Have have you heard me tell the audience? Have you

  757. heard me tell them to write down one strong number?

  758. That I give them one strong number, just one. No, no, Jose,

  759. oh Jose. I didn't share a quarter of what I could, Amen, Amen,

  760. I only pointed out to you and brought your attention

  761. to the subcuage version. I didn't tell I didn't give

  762. you any data that is differentiated from this in the Masoretic.

  763. I did I even mention Hebrew.

  764. Nope.

  765. I did say that it was translated prophetically. And when

  766. you look at the subtuogen you can realize, well, you

  767. can play with this translation, can't you? Because the Hebrews

  768. are prophetic language because God took the valve from you,

  769. didn't eat Jose. Right, so you can take one Hebrew

  770. word and you can now now take word. Take note,

  771. it'll have two or three different strongs entry for the

  772. noun and two or three different strong entries for the verb.

  773. I've showed you that many times, right, yes, So yeah,

  774. you didn't get a quarter of what I could have

  775. give you. Jose and I are just shining the light

  776. in that direction. Now you know there's a tunnel going

  777. that way. You're in a great big cave of God's word,

  778. and Satan shepherds and their corrupt clergy that run the

  779. churches have showed you so little, so little of this cave.

  780. Jose and I just took a flashlight, pointed and that direction, said, hey,

  781. there's a tunnel going that way, but just take no

  782. so I know where there's six or seven different tunnels

  783. here in the Book of Jose, but you never even

  784. who existed. What I'm really trying to do is I'm

  785. trying to get you excited. I'm trying to get you interested.

  786. I'm trying to get your mind off the ballgame. And

  787. it's nearly impossible isn't it. Jose, Yes, it is nearly impossible.

  788. I mean, I'm trying to get your mind out of

  789. the news, and it's just nearly impossible. But you'd be

  790. surprised with the spirit of a living God can do right.

  791. Jose Amen, Matthew, Amen, All right?

  792. Well, pray us out of here, please.

  793. Dear heavenly Father, whom we love and serve, I thank you,

  794. and I give you praise for gathering us together. Father, Tonight,

  795. I pray for those bad shepherds. I pray that if

  796. there is any mercy in your heart for them, that

  797. you that you have them repent. Father, You have them

  798. repent for the way that they have misled your people. Lord,

  799. you have told us what is going to happen to

  800. those bad shepherds if they do not repent, if they

  801. continue on in their ways and in leading your people

  802. to hell. So, today's Lord, I ask if there is

  803. any of those shepherds that are being acting as wolves

  804. in sheep's clothing, if there is any way that you

  805. can pull them from the fire, that you do so, Lord,

  806. only so that it will be for your glory, and

  807. only so that it will bring more sheep into your flock.

  808. I don't understand. I don't understand why this is part

  809. of your plan. I don't understand why this must happen.

  810. I only know and I have faith that you are

  818. be ready for your coming, Father, and for the coming

  819. of your son. And we ask all this in the

  820. name of your Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
