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 Nathal
-
Ministries and now Redemption draweth nigh. Welcome, lady and gentlemen,
-
welcome to the program. We are your host Jose and Matthew.
-
Tonight we are going ever deeper into the Book of
-
the Twelve Prophets, as is its septuage at name. This
-
is one book in the Masoretic text. It's always been
-
one book. However, the differentiation between the Hebrew and the
-
Greek it is quite extensive, especially by way of its division.
-
It's it's divided differently, and its relay of information is
-
very different. So let's get Jose's opening comments on these
-
first fifteen verses of Hoseiah chapter two.
-
Well, Matthew, you know, it's it kind of it kind
-
of follows what we read in chapter one where they
-
described Israel, and we kind of looked into the events
-
that happened in Jezreel. And so I can't help but
-
reading this second chapter and think about Jezebel, Matthew, think
-
about what the what the message to the Church of Tretya,
-
what it says about Jezebel, you know, what it says
-
about Babylon in the Book of Revelation. These are all
-
the thoughts that came to me, Matthew as I was
-
reading through this. You know, you have your choice, Matthew.
-
You can either be the woman that's taken to the
-
place that's prepared, or you can be play the harlet.
-
I mean that that's that's your choice that you make.
-
And and in this chapter of Josea, I just kept
-
seeing that repeated over and over. If you repent and
-
you fall on your knees right and try out to God,
-
he will show mercy, Matthew. But if you don't, if
-
you're hard hearted, and if you you know, chase after
-
what's what's in your heart, then then he's gonna he's
-
gonna throw you out, Matthew. That's that's what I read
-
here in this chapter. And again that's that's kind of boy.
-
It's just uh, it's it's almosts it's just scary, Matthew.
-
When God just makes it clear, you know, he just
-
comes out and says it, and I just get a
-
little a little pause in my heart because it's it's
-
he's not He's not mincing words in this chapter and
-
I and I really hope that's what the listener understands
-
as they read to this chapter.
-
I can only reinforce this by two verses, verses three
-
and five from Luke Chapter thirteen, straight from the mouth
-
of the Lord Jesus Christ. Repent or you will likewise perish.
-
Amen.
-
Okay, it's it is heaven or hell. Jose Yes, you
-
have a choice to either live forever or die forever.
-
That really is what it states. And jose Chapter two
-
is very unpopular with the majority of the Westernized Church
-
right now because the Westernized Church has for some reason
-
been lured astray into believing that there's a certain ethnic
-
group on this planet that they have another way to
-
enter the Kingdom of Heaven outside His Blood of the
-
New Covenant. That is a lie straight from the devil's mouth.
-
There is an entire system of eschatology and interpretation based
-
upon this very lie that for some reason, there's a
-
special ethnic group that is genetically related to the Lord
-
Jesus Christ. And know there is not that entity. In
-
Joseiah is presented as this bride that has made herself
-
out to be a hormit. Now you need to understand
-
that the blood of the New Covenant right out of
-
the mouth of the Lord Jesus Christ. If everybody remembers,
-
if you go back to communion in Matthew chapter twenty six,
-
what does the Lord Jesus Christ say about the one
-
He says, this is the blood of the New Covenant.
-
Make no mistakes about it. The New Covenant is defined
-
in Jeremiah chapter thirty one, Verses thirty one through thirty four,
-
and this New Covenant applies to two different groups, the
-
House of Judah and the House of Israel. You're getting
-
ready to find out who those entities are. Yes, one
-
of them is ethnically Jews. You can only enter the
-
Kingdom of Heaven even if you are genetically related to
-
the Lord Jesus Christ, through repenting and the accepting of
-
his blood sacrifice and enter into the New Covenant. Guess,
-
because you are a new at the return of Christ
-
does not mean you're automatically going to be saved. No
-
one is automatically saved. No ethnic group is the master race.
-
Both groups must partake in the blood of the New Covenant.
-
So you need to understand this is that this is maximum.
-
This is maximum the illegal literature in the Synagogue of Satan.
-
These first fifteen verses are literally outlaw literature in the
-
Synagogue of Satan, because this clearly defines that the old
-
Israel it was twelve tribes, wasn't it, jose Yes, it
-
was twelve tribes of ethnic israelis only one of those
-
tribes survived the wrath of God, just one. Romans Chapters nine, ten,
-
and eleven fills you in that all the gentiles entered
-
into the New Covenant, and they fulfill, they fullfill Israel.
-
We make up those eleven other tribes. This is from
-
the Greek word play Roma and Greek. Write this down
-
in your stronges concordance. That's g forty one thirty eighth.
-
We are the fullfillment of Israel. We fulfill all those
-
dead branches that were cut off. You're going to get
-
that right here from here on out. He calls Judah
-
one thing, and he calls the new Israelites something else.
-
So I hope you're ready for Hoseh chapter two to
-
say that, because he's getting ready to come out and
-
say it. That the mother where we came from, of course,
-
is rabbinic Judaism, correct, Jose, Yes, all right, Rabbinic Judaism
-
is what was ruling the temple at the time of Christ.
-
That is why they call us a Judeo Christian religion, right, Jose, Correct,
-
Get ready for some unpleasantries here if you're ethnically and
-
genetically related to the Lord Jesus Christ, because he says
-
that Old Covenant is a harlot violated and he's done
-
with it. The Old Covenant is in Exodus chapter twenty four,
-
verses three through eight. How do I know that off
-
the top of my head, because I am a Christian.
-
The Old Covenant is an Exodus chapter twenty four, verses
-
three through eight. The New Covenant is Jeremiah chapter thirty one,
-
verses thirty one through thirty four. It's that way and
-
no other way. That's the only way that it is.
-
That is literally the only way that it is. It
-
is no other way. Now I'm setting here talking a
-
whole lot when I can really make diseasy for everybody
-
and just jump over to Jeremiah and read it. Write
-
this down. It's really easy. Jeremiah thirty one, thirty one
-
through thirty four, and it describes the New Covenant describes
-
the new covenant very easy. Behold the days of coming,
-
says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant
-
with the House of Israel and the House of Judah.
-
Not according to the covenant with I made with their
-
fathers in the day that I took them by the
-
hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt,
-
my covenant which they broke though I was a husband
-
to them, says the Lord. But this is the covenant
-
that I will make with the House of Israel. After
-
those days, says the Lord, I will put my Lord
-
to their minds, and right there it on their hearts,
-
and I will be their God, and they shall be
-
my people. No more shall every man say to his neighbor,
-
and every man to his brother, saying, know the Lord,
-
for they shall know me. From the least of them
-
to the greatest, say is the Lord, For forgive their
-
iniquity and their sin. I will remember no more. It's
-
that way and no other way. That's that's the way
-
that it is. So that's who this harlot is. Take
-
note this harlot of a wife from jose chapter one.
-
She has two kids. Now, when you read this text,
-
you're wanting to take out the first verse of chapter
-
two and put it back in chapter one, aren't you, Jose, Yes,
-
it really does. It really does tempt you to do this.
-
But right here, from the very beginning, he says something
-
that's very important. And wow, I've been going on quite
-
some time, haven't I without reading it? So my opening
-
thoughts on this chapter are deep. Contains a whole lot
-
of information. I mean, within this very first verse of
-
chapter two lies the entire second chapter of verse Peter,
-
So that text is highly complicated. So I'm just going
-
to say this, Jose, why don't you read it and
-
we can go from there.
-
All right, I can do that, and I'm going to
-
be reading it from the lexum translation Matthew. So, josea
-
chapter two, stay to your brother, my people, and to
-
your sister shown mercy. Contend against your mother. Contend because
-
she is not my wife and I am not her husband.
-
And I will remove her fornication from my face and
-
her adultery from the middle of her breaths, in order
-
that I might strip her naked and restore her just
-
as on the day of her birth. And I will
-
make her a wilderness, and I will appoint her like
-
dry land and I will kill her with thirst. And
-
I will not show mercy to her children, because they
-
are children of fornication, because their mother committed fornication. She
-
who bore them, was disgracing herself, because she said, I
-
will go after my lovers, who are giving me my
-
bread and my water, and my clothes, and my linens,
-
and my olive oil, and all things as many as
-
belong to me. On account of this look, I will
-
hedge her way with thorns, and I will wall up
-
her roads, and she will not find her path. And
-
she will closely pursue her lovers and not take hold
-
of them, and she will seek them and not find them.
-
And she will say, I will go and return to
-
my former husband, because it was well with me then
-
rather than now. And she did not know that I
-
gave her the grain and the wine and the olive oil,
-
and I multiplied money for her, but she made silver
-
and gold for ball. Because of this, I will return
-
and gather in my grain at its time, and my
-
wine in its season. And I will remove my clothes
-
and my linens, so that she might not cover her shame.
-
And now I will uncover her impurity before her lovers,
-
and no one will ever deliver her from out of
-
my hand. And I will turn away all her festivities,
-
her holidays, and her new moons and their sabbaths, and
-
all her holy days. And I will destroy her vineyard
-
and her fig trees, about which she said, these are
-
my wages, which my lovers have given me. And I
-
will make them into a witness. And the wild beasts
-
of the field, and the birds of the heavens, and
-
the reptiles of the earth will devour them. And I
-
will take vengeance upon her for the days of the
-
balls on which she used to sacrifice to them, and
-
put on her ear rings and her necklaces, and go
-
after her lovers but forgot me, says the Lord. Because
-
of this behold, I will mislead her, and I will
-
make her like a wilderness, and I will speak to
-
her heart, and I will give her her plots of
-
land from that place and the valley of Acor to
-
open her understanding. And she will be made low there,
-
like in the days of her childhood, and like in
-
the days of her ascent out of the land of Egypt.
-
And I'll stop right there at verse fifteen.
-
Matthews, Why that's some hard Yes, well, I ass some
-
hard stuff to swallow right there, right, that's hard stuff
-
to swallow. But so you have these two children and
-
I'm going to take us back to the New Covenant again. Okay,
-
you need to understand what the Lord said Jeremiah, chapter
-
thirty one, verse thirty one. It tells you who her too.
-
Chilldrenren are It says, Behold, the days are coming, says
-
the Lord. We want to make a new covenant with
-
the House of Israel and with the House of Judah.
-
That's these two children. This these twelve tribes have been decimated.
-
Judah has been shown mercy, just the tribe of Judah,
-
and then Israel. And we know the New Testament. We
-
are the fulfillment of Israel. There is no taking that back. Jose.
-
You can't get around that. You can't get around it.
-
So we are these two children. And it's very pointed
-
that everybody knows this, and that's why this chapter begins
-
by saying that we are supposed to call our fellow
-
ethnic Jews dout of it accepted Christ. We're supposed to
-
make sure that they remember that you have been shown mercy,
-
and we the non ethnic Jews that are in Christ
-
we're supposed to remember that we are now called His
-
people when we were not. It's pretty simple, isn't it.
-
Hose Yes, yes, it's very plain language he's using. And
-
take note, you're in a subtuagen. These two names here,
-
given they are coming straight from and I do mean
-
straight from. This is straight from First Peter chapter two.
-
That's what that chapter is built off of. And this
-
really you need to know this. It comes right from it.
-
And if you don't know it, man, take note verse ten.
-
There in First Peter chapter two, who once were not
-
a pieceeople, but are now a people of God, who
-
had not obtain mercy, but now have obtained mercy. Ladies
-
and gentlemen, if your Bible does not have cross references
-
back to Hoseiah chapter two. When you're in First Peter
-
chapter two, Verse ten, I don't know what to tell you.
-
I don't know what to tell you because First Peter
-
chapter two is literally is literally built around Joseiah chapter two.
-
There's no way around it. Now. I've said that in
-
the classroom before, and everybody, you know, you see people
-
digging through their you know, their Thompson chain reference bible. Right, Well, there,
-
that's gotta be words. You know, gotta be footnotes. There No,
-
many of the Bibles don't have that. They will refer
-
you back to Joseah chapter one, verses nine and ten,
-
but not chapter two, verse one. So, like I said,
-
this is pretty hard hitting stuff that ladies and gentlemen.
-
If you don't understand this before you read the rest
-
of the Book of the Twelve Prophets, you're completely confused.
-
If you read Amos independent of this thought, you're completely confused.
-
If you read Micah independent of these thoughts, of this format,
-
you're completely lost.
-
Jose your thoughts, Yeah, Matthew, when when you shared with
-
me that chapter in First Peter chapter two, that verse,
-
I mean, it's it was. It was almost like it
-
was word for word, Matthew. It's exactly what God was
-
talking about in Hosea chapter two. Then when you read
-
the rest of First Peter chapter two, again, he's giving
-
you that choice to either believe and if you're write
-
in verse seven it says, therefore, to you who believe
-
He is precious, but to those who are disobedient, the
-
stone which the builders rejected, has become the chief cornerstone.
-
And the stone is stumbling and the rock of offense.
-
So I mean, this is just again Matthew, God's telling
-
you you have the choice. You're the one that's going
-
to choose to believe, and you're the one that's going
-
to choose to be obedient, that's going to choose to
-
be the bride or you're not, and you will be rejected.
-
So it's it's just when when when I would when
-
I read the rest of that chapter, Matthew, it's just
-
like it was like again, it was like I was
-
reading Hoseah Josea chapter two. You can't you can't separate
-
those two chapters. So it's just, uh, I don't know,
-
I don't know why if it's so obvious, why everyone
-
misses it, Matthew. That's that's amazing to me. But it's
-
there and it and again it should reiterate to us
-
as Christians, Matthew, when you've been shown this and then
-
you reject it, I mean, it's just you're you're you're
-
damning yourself to hell that there's nothing else I can say.
-
It's enough to boggle your mind. And you know, let
-
me say this. You know first better, Chapter two is
-
built around other quote and you mentioned kid. I mean
-
you read two of them, but it's basically built around
-
three quotes, none of which come from Hosea chapter two. Right,
-
none of which come from Hoseah chapter two. Everybody needs
-
to look up these cross references and behold, this is
-
the Lord Jesus Christ. Okay, you don't have to like it.
-
The precious cornerstone laid in Zion is the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
Right now, where's the ap jose? The New Testament repeatedly
-
tells us that right now, at this point in time,
-
he's at the right hand of the Father. Correct hymn,
-
This is the precious cornerstone in Zion. But you know
-
what I keep talking about it. I'm just gonna go
-
ahead and read it here from the New King James version,
-
first Peter, chapter two, starting in well, maybe I should
-
just start from the top. Yeah, let's just read from
-
the very therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy,
-
and all evil, speaking as new born babes, desire the
-
pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby,
-
if indeed you have tasted that, the Lord is gracious,
-
coming to him as a living stone, rejected indeed by men,
-
but chosen by God and precious you also as living stones,
-
are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood,
-
to offer of spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
-
Therefore it is also contained in the scripture Behold, I
-
lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect precious, and he
-
who believes on him will by no means be put shame.
-
Therefore you couple. He is precious. But to those who
-
are disobedient, the stone which the builders rejected has become
-
the chief cornerstone, and a stone of stumbling, a rock
-
of offense. They stumbled, being disobedient to the word to
-
which they were also appointed. But you are a chosen
-
generational royal priesthood, a holy nation in his own special people,
-
that we may proclaim the praises of Him who called
-
you out of darkness into his marvelous light, who were
-
once not a people, but now the people of God
-
who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. Prophetically,
-
he just said that in the Lord Jesus Christ, there
-
is the new covenant. And if you think there is
-
another way that you can somehow become a precious stone
-
in god temple outside of the precious cornerstone. You are daft.
-
That's not nor can ever happen. That can never happen.
-
That can never happen based on I'm going to say
-
it again, based on the entire Bible. So from this
-
point forward, you need to know, the Jews that have
-
accepted Jesus have been shown mercy. We the Gentiles who
-
have accepted Jesus, are now genetically and ethnically related to
-
the Lord Jesus Christ. He has incorporated these two children
-
into one bride. That's what the Bible says, from Genesis
-
to Revelation. That's what it says, and that's what it means.
-
So these are very hard hitting verses. And he is
-
very very pointed in his speech toward this woman of
-
the Old Covenant that played the Harlot, and take note.
-
Did you find it interesting how he pointed out that
-
they served the bales. Yes, And this brings to mind
-
the seven thousand people that was alive during Elija's stint
-
right because Elijah gets frustrated, he said, look, they've killed
-
all your servants. I'm the only one left, and they're
-
coming after me. And God's deeps forward says, no, no,
-
You're lying Elijah, I've reserved for myself seven thousand people
-
who had not been to Nita bail. If you don't
-
prophetically know this is also why in the Book of Revelation,
-
God gives recompense and he says that when an event happens,
-
he gives you that magical number of seven thousand people
-
being killed. You're supposed to know that these two events
-
are tied together, and you're supposed to know, prophetically, this
-
is who was shown mercy in the days of Elijah.
-
There was seven thousand people who would have prophetically been
-
shown mercy. So that's what we're talking about here, and
-
this text is expecting you to know that He's expecting
-
you to believe what is going on. I mean, there
-
is no doubt that these two words here in one
-
Peter chapter two, verse ten, it is G. Twenty nine
-
ninety two leos people. That's exactly what's in the subcuagen
-
here in Hoseiah chapter two, verse one. And take Bigue
-
note also to have mercy is illio that is G.
-
Sixteen fifty three. Yes it is, yes, it is. Yeah,
-
that's where it came from. That's its event horizon. So
-
take note. The children of this Harlot find the New
-
Covenant in the precious cornerstone the Lord Jesus Christ. It
-
doesn't matter if they are ethnic Jews or not. There's
-
only one Covenant, There's not two covenants. You know, the
-
Bible has some very very harsh words for this original woman,
-
doesn't it? O say, yes, you know one of the
-
chapters that you can and I mean the whole chapter.
-
I mean we can't. It's sixty three verses long. But
-
have you checked out Ezekiel chapter sixteen not lately? The
-
whole thing is describing these first fifteen verses. Uh huh. Now,
-
the Original Covenant, those people that are ethnically related to
-
the Old Covenant. It's not good at all. It's not
-
good at all what it goes to describe there about
-
this very thing. But let's go to verse two. So
-
intend against your mother. Contend because she is not my
-
wife and I am not her husband. I will remove
-
her fornication from my face and her adultery from the
-
middle of her breast. Yeah, Isaiah, chapter fifty, verse one.
-
This is what the Lord says. What kind of divorce
-
document was your mother with which I said, way for
-
better sold you book. You were sold for your sins.
-
I sent your mother away for your transgressions. There's only
-
one way back to.
-
God, the blood of the New Covenant, the blood of
-
the Lord Jesus Christ spilled as the ultimate passover Lamb.
-
It's that way, and there is no other way verse three,
-
In order that I might strip her naked and restore
-
her just as on the day of her birth, Now
-
when was she birthed. Let me continue, and I will
-
make her a wilderness, and I will point her like
-
dry land, and we'll kill her with thirst that triggers
-
remembrancers for me. That takes me to Jeremiah Chapter thirteen,
-
Verses twenty two through thirty seven. Hose can you read
-
those out of the Lexo English subtugent? Please?
-
I sure can. And if you say in your heart,
-
why have these things happened to me? It is because
-
of the greatness of your jilt justice that your back
-
parts were uncovered, that your heels were put to shame.
-
Will an Ethiopian change his skin and the leoparded spots?
-
And will you be able to dwell after learning evil?
-
And I scattered them like firewood carried by the wind
-
into the desert. This is your lot and portion for
-
resisting me, says the Lord, since you have forgotten me
-
and have hoped in lies, and I will uncover your
-
back parts before your face, and your dishonor will be seen,
-
both your adultery and your nane and the alienation of
-
your fornication. I have seen your abominations upon the hills
-
and in the fields. Woe to you, oh Jerusalem, because
-
you were not cleansed after me, how much longer?
-
So this is really this is really an expansion of
-
that first phrase there in verse three of Josea, chapter two,
-
in order that I might strip her naked. He goes
-
into great detail as to why, and it's not very nice.
-
And this part about killing her with thirst. This last
-
phrase is exemplified in you know Exus seventeen, verse three.
-
And the people thirsted there for what? Of course, what water?
-
This is the great sin at Maraba. Anyway, let me continue.
-
And the people thirsted there for water? And the people
-
murmured against Moses, saying, for what reason have you brought
-
us out of Egypt to cool us and our children
-
and our livestock by thirst? Did I catch your attention?
-
Because I always had this in my back pocket. God
-
is literally saying in Hoseah chapter two, what the Israelites
-
accused God of doing in Exodus chapter thirteen, verse three.
-
Let me say that again. You need to write this down. Okay,
-
what you're seeing here as names people and shown mercy
-
those of the two children that prophetically is inserted into
-
this verse. Ex Chapter seventeen, verse three. And the people
-
thirsted there for water, and the people murmured there against Moses, saying,
-
for what reason have you brought us out of Egypt
-
to kill us and our children and our livestock by thirst?
-
You'll take note that in those verses he also talked
-
about the wild beast. Didn't he Jose there in jose
-
chapter two? Yes, Oh, yes he did, Jose. Did you
-
ever know that the whole reason why this is going
-
on is because what the children of the Promise said
-
to God in Exus chapter seventeen, verse three. Because once
-
you see it, you can't unsee it, can't you, Right,
-
there's literally no way to unsee this. There's no way
-
to unsee this. This is what he's doing. This is
-
why God's so mad, this is why and when you
-
see it, it's just, oh my goodness, verse twelve and
-
I will destroy her vineyard and her fing trees, by
-
which she said, these are my wages which my lovers
-
have given me, and I will make them into a witness.
-
And the wild beast of the field, and the birds
-
of the heavens, and the reptiles of the earth will
-
devour them. He is stating in Josea chapter two, verse twelve,
-
because of what the people of the First Covenant said
-
when they come out of the wilderness to God in
-
Exodus chapter seventeen, verse three. That's literally why all this
-
is going on is because God is remembering this first
-
ride that he made for himself when he extracted everybody
-
out of Egypt. There's no way around this phraseology. I mean,
-
we could stop the program right here and do extreme
-
ex to Jesus on Exodus chapter seventeen, verse three, and
-
oh my goodness, those Greek words will take us everywhere
-
to the very same conclusion everything that we've already stated
-
on this program. The old Covenant is gone. She played
-
herself a whore, and she received from the Lord exactly
-
what he said that he was going to do, and
-
all he did was give her recompense based on her
-
own words. Hindsights twenty twenty, isn't it, Jose Yes, sir.
-
Once you see it, you cannot unsee it. Once you
-
see it, you cannot unsee this. So it is of
-
paramount important going forward, ladies and gentlemen, as you understand,
-
you are one of these children. You are the child
-
here called people. The Jews that accept Jesus is the
-
child shown mercy. This is why the Book of the
-
Twelve Prophets was written by God and delivered to us,
-
the children of the New Covenant. Very hard hitting. You know,
-
it's amazing here that in verse fifteen it brings up
-
the valley of a core. Now, what's your thoughts on
-
that hose?
-
Yeah, that's that's interesting that that God brings that into
-
into effect. Matthew. I mean, we can go back and
-
read read where that first comes up. But there's an
-
interesting note in Isaiah sixty five where the value of
-
a core comes up that kind of I think gives
-
us some more of a prophetic perspective of the value
-
of acre, Matthew. And that's verses eight through ten of
-
Isaiah sixty five, and it reads, this is what the
-
Lord says, the way the grape will be found in
-
the cluster, and they will say, do not harm it,
-
because the bless seen is in it. So I will
-
do for the sake of the one who serves me.
-
I will not destroy them all on the account of
-
this one. I will bring forth the seed from Jacob
-
and from Judah, and they will inherit my holy mountain,
-
and my chosen ones and my servants will inherit it,
-
and they will dwell there, and the folds of the
-
flock will be in the forest, and the value of
-
acre will be like a resting place for herds for
-
my people who have sought me.
-
Man jose that rings in my ears. Yes, yes, And
-
to think, okay, whoever thunk that? Whoever thunk.
-
That?
-
Isaiah Chapter sixty five is really an expanded commentary on
-
the book of Josea. I thought Joseia was a major
-
prophet and Joseiah was a minor prophet. Right now, you
-
do understand the term minor prophet does not exist. Let
-
me say that again, ladies and gentlemen, your shepherds have
-
taught you that there are major profits and minor profits.
-
Know there's not There are profits, and then there is
-
the twelve profits that should get your attention. Those verses that,
-
Jose Districk, because you could go back to that. I mean,
-
we could do a whole show on Isaiah sixty five,
-
can't we? Yep, But now you get the idea that
-
the only genetic people left and the Covenant was going
-
to be the tribe of Judah. Take note Isaiah sixty five, say, Israel.
-
It takes you back before Jacob had been renamed. So
-
guess what you are, Jose. You are the fulfillment. You
-
make up the other tribes, and we now comprise Israel.
-
There's only two tribes in Israel. Now there's born again
-
Jews and there's born again Gentiles. How many times does
-
the New Testament say that, Jose?
-
Yeah, I've numerous times, Matthew, I couldn't even tell you, because.
-
It says it all the time, doesn't it. I mean,
-
that is literally something it says all the time. It
-
says it all the time. Jose. Did you do a scan?
-
Did you do a search on the internet for any
-
eschatology teachings over the Book of josea chapter well one
-
or two?
-
No?
-
No, I didn't, Matthew.
-
Guess what you're gonna come up with?
-
Probably not a whole lot.
-
Yeah, crickets. You're going to come up with crickets because
-
you realize that when I talked about before, by a
-
great swath of churches in the West, they believe that
-
these god hating ethnic Jews will be automatically saved at
-
the return of Christ instead of obliterated. That's been incorporated,
-
that has been indoctrinated into the church buildings. It's not good.
-
It really isn't. And we really saw this pertaining to
-
current events that happened not too awful long ago that
-
triggered this war in the Promised Land. Boy, there's all
-
kinds of Let me be very careful how I word this.
-
There were all kinds of people that you know, were
-
coming out publicly and supporting the Israeli government bombing schools,
-
dismembering children. They were supporting and paying for the bombs
-
that penetrated hospitals and blew them up. They were blowing
-
up people in ICU units. This is true, isn't it, Jose?
-
Yes, yep.
-
And these people were saying, those people, if the return
-
of Christ happened today, these murderous animals, this harlot man,
-
did I get your attention, Jose, Let's call these child
-
murderers a harlot. Let me ask you something, Jose. So
-
is the United States military allowed to target hospitals? No, Matthew,
-
tell me, don't answer this, Jose. Riddle me, everybody, Why
-
would we, the people of the supposed strongest Christian nation
-
on the planet, why would we financially pay for hospitals
-
and schools to be targeted and obliterated? And then say,
-
and then say that the perpetrators of such crimes against
-
humanity would not be exterminated in the Battle of Armageddon,
-
but they would marry the Lord Jesus Christ and become
-
his bride. Who on earth would say this in a
-
court of law? Who on earth would say this? And
-
what would you call such a bride? You'd call her
-
a whore, Jose, Yes, you'd call her a whore. The
-
Lord Jesus Christ is not going to marry a whore, people,
-
He's not. That's never going to happen. And if you
-
are one of the ones that are alive and remain
-
at the return of Christ, you're going to be eyeball
-
first witness to the event. The Lord Jesus Christ is
-
going to give you an object lesson of Hosea. Chapter
-
two about what he meant from Genesis to revelation. If
-
you're alive at that event, you're going to be first
-
person witnesses to that event. Amen, jose Amen, Matthew, yep,
-
let's just let that sink in people. Most of you
-
listening to my voice, you support you, probably on your
-
social media sites even displayed Israeli flags. I know some
-
people that are associated with Marianatha ministries that did it
-
because I saw it. This, ladies and gentlemen, is not good.
-
It's not good at all.
-
But take note this idea is incorporated in the very
-
first time that this valley of a cores even mentioned.
-
More importantly, why it's called that name? Right, Osean Right?
-
I mean is that a good tale? I mean, when
-
you look up this thing in the Bible and chase
-
it down, what could God obviously be talking about this
-
a core? So it amazes me that people don't even
-
know why it's named that, why this valley is named
-
a core? Is this a good story or a bad story?
-
Would you say not.
-
The first time it shows up, Matthew, you know it's
-
a bad story, That's what. That's what kind of struck
-
me about Isaiah sixty five, where it says they were
-
not destroyed on the account of all of one. But
-
yet when you go to the story and judges of
-
the value of acor, they were almost all destroyed because
-
of the transgression of one. I mean, just that mirror
-
image there, Matthew. That's yeah, that struck me.
-
Yeah, it ain't good, right happen It's I mean, you
-
can call it many things, but it ain't good. Good
-
is not one of the things you described. This type
-
of story. But it amazes me how most people do
-
not know where this comes from. They don't know the circumstance,
-
they don't know the extreme measures which are carried out
-
in this valley and why it's called that valley. It
-
just blows me away. People really don't know. They really
-
have no idea it. So you know, maybe I could
-
go over there and share with them, or would you
-
rather just describe it, Jose No, I mean, well I
-
can describe it, but boy, I mean we need to
-
we would need to read the whole chapter.
-
But you know, I so this is when they're entering
-
the Promised Land, Matthew, Joshua chapter seven, and you know
-
God's God tells them to destroy everything, to not take
-
anything and of course you have the one who transgresses
-
and tries to hide certain riches from even describes it
-
as babylonioush items, and I think I read that, and
-
here Matthew, but actually trying to take some of those
-
riches and some of those spoils of war and keep
-
them for himself. And of course this upsets God, and
-
and you know, he tells Joshua that that Israel has
-
sin and transgressed the Covenant, and so they have to
-
draw lots, Matthew, to figure out who who did it,
-
And eventually they come down to Achin as being the
-
one who's done the transgression, and all of his possessions
-
must get burned up, Matthew, all of his possessions are destroyed,
-
and including his cattle, they're stone, they're burned. And that
-
that's that's what happens in that valley. So the fact
-
that God turns it around in Isaiah sixty five, Matthew, boy,
-
that's a that's saying a lot to me.
-
Well, are you sure he turned it around in Isaiah
-
sixty five or Jose chapter two? Which gonna come first?
-
Amen?
-
Okay, Amen, let's go ahead, And I'm gonna go ahead,
-
and read this.
-
I know we've only got six minutes left, but I
-
think it's important, so I'm not gonna read tho thing
-
on your starting Verse sixteen of Joshua, chapter seven from
-
the Lexum English septuagen And Joshua rose early and brought forward.
-
The people according to tribe. And the tribe of Judah
-
was revealed, and they were brought forward according to clan,
-
and the clan of the zech Wrights was revealed, And
-
so they were brought forward according to the man. And Aikan,
-
son of Zimri, son of Ziiiah, was revealed. And Joshua
-
said to Aikin, give glory today to the Lord God
-
of Israel, and give thanksgiving, and tell me what you did,
-
and you must not hide it from me. And Achin
-
replied to Joshua and said, truly, I have sinned before
-
the Lord got of Israel in this way, and in
-
this way I acted. And the plunder I saw an
-
embroidered carpet and two hundred droptness of silver and one
-
golden tongue of fifty drachmas, and I covered, I coveted
-
and took them, and look they are hidden in my tent.
-
And the silver is hidden under them. And Joshua sent messengers,
-
and they ran to the tent in the camp, and
-
these things were hidden in the tent, and the silver
-
was under them. And they brought them from the tent
-
and carried them to Joshua the elders of Israel, and
-
put them in the presence of the Lord. And Joshua
-
took aken the son of Zuriah and brought him to
-
the ravine of Akor, as well as his sons and
-
his daughters, and his cabs, and his donkeys, and all
-
his sheep, and his tent and everything that was his,
-
as well as all the people with him. And they
-
brought him into the valley of Achor. And Joshua said
-
to Aichen, why have you destroyed us? Made the Lord
-
cut you off in the same way even today? And
-
so they stoned him with stones all Israel, and they
-
covered him with a large pile of stones. And the
-
Lord seized his wrathful anger. Because of this, he named
-
it the Valley of Achor. To this day, I'll take note.
-
This is why Acor came from the tribe of Judah. Why, okay, Jose,
-
was everybody in Judah exterminated?
-
No?
-
Why not you know, I love catching people by surprise
-
when I just asked the obvious question, Do I need
-
to read the text again? Okay? Because it was very clear,
-
and they brought him to the ravin of a corps,
-
as well as all sons, daughters, calves, donkeys, sheep and
-
everything that was his, as well as all the people
-
with him. All of his people was the entire tribe
-
of Judah. Ose So now you're able to see twenty twenty,
-
aren't you, ladies and gentlemen. The people who was shown
-
mercy was the rest of the people of a corps.
-
That's right, the rest of the tribe. They all should
-
have been extra The tribe of Judah was the first
-
thing to be selected. Do you not remember what I
-
first read? Okay, let me read this again. Joshua rose
-
early and brought forward the people according to tribe, and
-
the tribe of Judah was revealed. The tribe of Judas
-
should have immediately been exterminated. The survivors of this event
-
was the remaining Jews who were not a part of this.
-
They were not a part of Aikin's family. So prophetically
-
you're supposed to know, well, he's calling this the valley
-
of Acor, because we know those who were shown mercy
-
was the rest of the members of the tribe of Judah,
-
because it was the tribe of Judah that was selected
-
by lot. Look, they cast lots in all of God's house,
-
and it was revealed by the Lord it was the
-
tribe of Judah. They should have immediately been exterminated, but
-
they weren't. So the people that survived the Valley of
-
Acor was the genetic Jews who were not a part
-
of the rebellion. Right was that right? So naturally, if
-
you're going to relay look, all of the ethnic Israelites
-
are going to be exterminated except Judah, and from Judah
-
only those who participate in the Blood of the New Covenant.
-
What's a good way to relay that message that Look,
-
there's going to be survivors from Judah, but they're only
-
going to be like the seven thousand during the days
-
of Elijah. How are you going to relay that message?
-
You would relay that message by writing every single thing
-
that's described in Joseah chapter two, the very first fifteen verses.
-
Is that not a beautiful thing?
-
Jose Amen?
-
Matthew, Amen, you're closing comments. We are at the top
-
of the album.
-
There's the there's too much stuff in here, Matthew. But
-
when when you're describing that the events there with Judah,
-
I mean, I'm reminded of the churches in the Book
-
of Revelation. You know, when their transgressions are revealed by
-
all accounts that that church should should be destroyed. But no,
-
God saves those that hold to the covenant and hold
-
to his son, regardless of what else is going on
-
in those churches. Matthew. That's just that's what's that's what's
-
catching me right now. Just to touch on what you
-
said earlier. You know, I'm taking to Hebrews, Matthew, where
-
we're told that you know, if you if you transgress,
-
you fall under the law of Moses, right, that's the
-
old Covenant. But if you transgress against a new Covenant, Matthew,
-
you're transgressing against the Son of God. And how much
-
more terrible is that? You know, We're we're describing all
-
these events in the Old Testament. We're describing how the
-
how the Jews will be reincorporated into God's family. But Matthew,
-
that that same thing holds true for us if we
-
reject God that same thing, we can be rejected just
-
as easily as as as as they were, because now
-
we're taking on that same mother, that same heartt And
-
I think everything we've described, Matthew, is to understand the
-
blessing that we have of accepting the Son of God,
-
the lessing that we've taken, the promises we're giving because
-
of that, Matthew, and rejecting it, it's just it's just
-
I just can't even I can't even fathom rejecting that, Matthew.
-
I can't even fathom what's going to come down on
-
our head if we reject that. So that that's that's that.
-
Those are our closing comments right now. Again, this is
-
just this is nothing we haven't read before, nothing we
-
haven't covered before, Matthew. But just to see it again,
-
God using this beautiful illustration, God being straightforward to us,
-
Matthew and telling us that we have that choice. We
-
have the choice to either play the harlot or become
-
the bright of Christ. That that's that's that's where we're at, Matthew.
-
Oh, ladies and gentlemen, mind closing comments. Well, I can
-
only reiterate what jose just said. There's there's just no
-
other way to describe it. I will do some of
-
this though. I and my wife has started a Bible
-
study of Romans, the audio of which is not available
-
in the format which you're getting it this program right now.
-
I am not posting it this way. That audio is
-
only available on the ministry's Patreon website. That's patreon dot
-
com backslash Matthew Miller. It's the only way to get
-
the audio. Today. I have started a monologue series. I
-
just opened up First Corinthians chapter one. I did fifty
-
two minutes on the first three verses. First three verses
-
is just the greeting. But I did a sermon today
-
or monologue, whichever you'd like to call it. I'm going
-
to be putting that up. So it's been a busy day, Hose.
-
This is my fourth program today. Actually, So I did
-
a monologue, I did the Romans Bible study with my wife.
-
I did the fellowship. Now I'm doing this so I
-
am doubling down. Ladies and gentlemen, consider this. If you
-
want to be a co host, okay, if you want
-
to be a part of Maranatha Ministries, if you want to,
-
I don't know, do topographical studies you know, talk about
-
the anti Christ, or you know, talk about oh, I
-
don't know, any number of topics. Do you want to
-
do audios? Get with me and we can do it.
-
If you want to do a do what me and
-
Jose are doing. Go through a Bible you want to
-
a Bible book you want to go to, let's say,
-
a commentary of Revelation or maybe Daniel. All I can
-
tell you to do is saddle up, right, Jose? Have
-
you ever known me to refuse saddling up and writing?
-
Have you ever heard of that? Jose?
-
Nope, nope.
-
If you want to learn something, the best way to
-
do it is to jump in the saddle with me
-
and let's start doing a program together. You know, it
-
amazes me. I've got two or three people who said
-
they would and just never did. And it's funny how
-
the Lord Jesus Christ has terribles about people like that,
-
don't Tony Jose? Yes, anyway, I guess that's enough for now.
-
She might want to check out the Rumble channel anyway.
-
That's enough of that, Jose, take us out of here.
-
In prayer, Please.
-
You're have any father whom we love and serve. I
-
thank you for allowing me and my brother Matthew to
-
gather together to read your word. I thank you for
-
everything that you've had to share with us. Father. I
-
also think that this can go out to the other listeners,
-
that it can go out to other brothers and sisters,
-
so that they may be edified by this word. But Lord,
-
tonight I ask for special prayer for those mothers that
-
are right now crying over their children, that are worried
-
about their children, that are praying for their children. Father,
-
please listen to them. Myself, as a man, I don't
-
understand the love a mother has for a child, how
-
deep it is, how much it encompasses their being when
-
their child is in trouble. So I just right now
-
I'm praying for those mothers right now, Father. And again Lord,
-
I asked that this word that me and my brother
-
Matthew have shared today, that it may go out to
-
the lost, Then it may go out to those lost children,
-
and that they may be returned to you. Father. And
-
I ask all this in the name of your son
-
Jesus Christ.
-
Amen, Amen and Amen. Until next time, ladies and gentlemen,
-
God bless God speed.
