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

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

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

  4. and now Redemption Draweth Nigh. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome

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

  6. Tonight we are studying starting a study on the Book

  7. of the Twelve Prophets. Now you'll take note that differentiates

  8. it from a study on the Book of the Twelve

  9. because the Hebrew just says the twelve. It is the

  10. Greek that states twelve prophets, and.

  11. This is one book. Most people don't know that that.

  12. Yes, in the Hebrew, it's one book and the different

  13. chapters are what you know to be different books, and

  14. that usually takes people by surprise right there.

  15. But I want to share something with you that is really.

  16. Going to take you by surprise. So that's my opening comments. Jose,

  17. what's your opening comments?

  18. Yeah, Matthew, we when we discussed doing this study and

  19. then you mentioned that the order was different in the

  20. Hebrew and the Greek. You know, of course I flipped open.

  21. I started comparing them, and I saw the differences, and

  22. I mean, Matthew, you just we know, we trust that

  23. those two translations are different for a reason. There's a

  24. certain reason for that order. And and in English, where

  25. it we're kind of it's kind of hidden from us

  26. because to us, they're just different books, and we can

  27. read them in any order, and we can jump around

  28. and okay, I'll read this book in the Scept in Hebrew,

  29. and now I'll flip over and I'll read it in

  30. greet and compare the differences. But when you realize that

  31. it comprises one book and they're arranged in in in

  32. that in an order for a reason, it's not there's

  33. nothing haphaszard about God's word, Matthew, There's nothing by chance.

  34. So that's why I knew.

  35. I had never seriously studied the order in the Septuagent,

  36. and so I figured that would be most edifying for

  37. the Ecclesia for the body. So that that's why that's

  38. why I I broached that.

  39. And of course it didn't take.

  40. Long before you drop the bomb about what we're going

  41. to be looking into tonight. So I'm excited to get

  42. into it.

  43. Let me drop another bomb, shall I? Okay? Talking to

  44. my voice.

  45. Ladies and gentlemen, you should always bring something to write with.

  46. And something to write on.

  47. I'm gonna propound a great riddle for you today concerning.

  48. The twelve Prophets.

  49. Joseiah has one hundred and ninety seven verses, Gol has

  50. seventy three, Amos has one hundred and forty six, oh

  51. Badiah has twenty one, and Jonah forty eight. Micah has

  52. one hundred and five verses. Nay Who has forty seven verses,

  53. Labud Cook has fifty six verses, zeph and Yah fifty three,

  54. Haggie I thirty eight, Zachariah two hundred and eleven, and

  55. Malachi has fifty five verses. That is a total of

  56. the number of commands that are in the New Testament.

  57. Write this down.

  58. There are one thousand and fifty verses in the twelve profits.

  59. There are one thousand and fifty New Testament commands.

  60. Yes, there is here. I'll prove it to you.

  61. I have my list here from long ago, okay, And

  62. I'll just give you a few of them. Take not.

  63. There are thirty be nots okay.

  64. The first one is be not like the hypocrites in

  65. prayer number two, Be not like the heathen in prayer.

  66. Let's skip down, but there's thirty of those. Okay, we'll

  67. do something else. Let me skip down here to two

  68. classes to bless? Which two classes? A number one those

  69. who curse you and number two persecutors.

  70. Where's that at? You need to look up Romans Chapter twovers. Fourteen.

  71. I don't think I know.

  72. I know that, I know there are one thousand and

  73. fifty New Testament commands, and yet the clergy today are

  74. running around telling you you don't have to follow any commands, right, Jose, Right?

  75. I mean literally at this point, especially here in the West,

  76. this free grace Antinomianism, lawlessness is rampant. I mean especially

  77. have you listened to the to the Christian radio station lately.

  78. Jose, No, I haven't, Matthew, Okay.

  79. As of a week ago, I wanted to start checking

  80. it out, and it is amazing how many of the

  81. contemporary Christian hits are screaming you can whore your way

  82. into the Kingdom of Heaven. I mean they're screaming it

  83. from the top of their lungs. Have you heard this

  84. top forty Christian song called Flawless?

  85. No, I haven't, Matthew.

  86. Listen to that first verse when you get a chance.

  87. Okay.

  88. I mean they're saying you can do whatever you want

  89. to do and go to heaven.

  90. And it's just amazing is to me that people in

  91. the pulpit are not qualified to tell the children of

  92. the Promise that, Oh, there's a whole lot more commandments

  93. in the New Testament than the Old Testament, because the

  94. Old Testament tops out at six hundred and thirteen, ten

  95. of which are written by the finger of God. But

  96. that's nothing in the New Testament. And I can walk

  97. them through to you, jot and tittle.

  98. I don't.

  99. I'm not leary about them, and I'm not kind of

  100. wish you what I know. I can give them to

  101. you by the number. I can give them to you

  102. by the number. What's five things to charge?

  103. Okay?

  104. First Timothy, chapter five, verse seven, Men to be blameless? Jose,

  105. I charge you to be blameless?

  106. Amen, Amen? Okay, how about number four?

  107. Number four in the list of the five things you're

  108. supposed to charge is the rich to do good works? Yes,

  109. that's First Timothy, chapter six, verse eighteen. There are one

  110. thousand and fifty New Testament commands. Jose, What does that

  111. do to you when you realize that.

  112. The twelve pro we're arranged.

  113. To equal the number of New Testament commands. How does

  114. that set with you?

  115. I mean, it's it just proves Matthew that well God, again,

  116. God doesn't do this by accident. It's purposeful. It's there

  117. for for our edification. And you know, if the Holy

  118. Spirit has has any space in your heart, Matthew, you

  119. know that's going to ring true. You know that's not

  120. going to surprise you that that's that that's true, because

  121. it's just it makes sense.

  122. Why wouldn't it. Of course it would.

  123. That's what we would be expecting, Matthew, that God's word

  124. would line up.

  125. With everything that he said before. So, I mean, it's

  126. it's pretty amazing me.

  127. It's absolutely how shall I say it, I guess flawless.

  128. It's flaws It will grow on you, won Josey.

  129. I mean once you see it, once your eyes are

  130. open to it. I mean, riddle me, jose I mean

  131. you came to this ministry and you knew a lot

  132. about the Bible, didn't you, right, I mean you were

  133. raised in the church, yes, But once I opened your

  134. eyes to His Holy Word, how much have you learned.

  135. I mean, it's I couldn't even put a number to it. Matthew.

  136. Every every time, every time I open the Bible, I

  137. learned something.

  138. You know.

  139. It's just it's like, uh, it's alive. That's that's all.

  140. That's all I can say. It's a it's alive, it's living,

  141. it's breathing. And when you actually know what to look for,

  142. when you know that everything is true, Matthew, I mean,

  143. it's exponential.

  144. It's just you just can't. You can't put a number

  145. to that.

  146. You just cannot put another It grows on you.

  147. Amen, That's the.

  148. Only way I know how to put it. I mean,

  149. it grew on me today. Can you believe that this

  150. is my third program today? Yeah?

  151. I believe that.

  152. It grew on me today.

  153. Amen.

  154. Today I and my wife have started a Roman's Bible study.

  155. So today we're in the middle of it, and last

  156. night we talked about it and she just off the hook,

  157. randomly says, well, that made me think of tewod Peter

  158. chapter three, verse nine.

  159. I had no idea. I went into that thinking I.

  160. Knew everything, and bless her heart, today she opened my

  161. eyes and it just blew me away because Romans Chapter one,

  162. verses eighteen through thirty two directly ties to Habricac. But

  163. in that you can see the mercy through two Peter

  164. chapter three, and it just blew me. It just well, Jose,

  165. it grew on me today.

  166. Amen.

  167. So everybody needs to know this.

  168. Most of you have only ever studied the Hebrew of

  169. the Old Testament, and there's some things you need to know.

  170. The earliest manuscripts we have is the Aleppo Codex and

  171. the Liningrad Codex, both of which were written in the

  172. seven hundreds. The Septuagent we have gret dates that by

  173. a thousand years. Okay, let that sink in. The septulogent

  174. copies that we have are from three hundred BC. The

  175. New Testament repeatedly quotes from the Septuagent, as it also

  176. in multiple places quotes the Hebrew. So in this you

  177. need to know this. By quoting both the septuagen and

  178. the Mesoretic text, you need to know this. And if

  179. you didn't know it before, now, boy, were about to

  180. blow your eyes wide open, because both are true. This

  181. ministry has always taught that always, Jose, have you ever

  182. heard me say anything else?

  183. Nope? By having Matthew, how much have.

  184. You learned since your eyes were open to that? Have

  185. you quadrupled your knowledge base about God's word? No, Being

  186. familiar with our conversations from thirteen fourteen, fifteen years ago,

  187. I would say that your knowledge base now you actually

  188. have the wherewithal to understand not only how to see it,

  189. but where to look.

  190. So I would say, based on that you have.

  191. Exponentially increased your database. I would say minimum one thousand

  192. and fold minimum.

  193. Amen.

  194. I mean before we started this program, I asked you

  195. about verse four here in Jose chapter one, and something

  196. bothered you. Now, did you know the Greek alphabet before

  197. getting connected with this ministry?

  198. Nope, I did not, Matthew.

  199. Well, now you're a part of this ministry, you're actually

  200. a minister in it. And what bothered you when you

  201. looked at the Greek in verse four of Jose chapter one.

  202. Well, the translations in English said one thing, Matthew. But

  203. when I looked at the actual Greek letters, I didn't

  204. see the spelling for that word that I was expecting.

  205. You know, when I.

  206. Saw the translation that for the Greek is different than

  207. the translation for the Hebrew for that specific verse, which

  208. didn't surprise me because that happens all the time. So

  209. when I went to actually look at the actual Greek word, though, Matthew,

  210. I didn't see that spelling that I would expect to

  211. see and seeing that word in English, so it was missing.

  212. It was missing a specific letter. So yeah, I was like, okay,

  213. why why use.

  214. That word if that's not what's there? What's really going

  215. on here?

  216. What's really going on?

  217. So did you take that verse and throw it into

  218. I don't know, Google Translate?

  219. No, I did not, Matthew know, really, why don't you

  220. try that real quick?

  221. All right?

  222. Let us teach the listener how to open their eyes

  223. and see what God's word actually says.

  224. Because that's not in English, right, and believe it or not?

  225. You know, jose has access to the Thompson, he has

  226. access to the Britons, and guess what, they're not telling

  227. the truth. But Google translates it will just translate it

  228. word for word the best that it can.

  229. So have you done that, Jose?

  230. Yes? I did, Matthew.

  231. Riddle me, what does that verse say according to Google Translate?

  232. And the Lord said, unto him, call his name Gizrael,

  233. for he is yet a little child and I will

  234. avenge the blood of Jezreel upon his house, and they'll

  235. put an end to the kingdom of the House of Israel.

  236. Wow, that's a proper translation. Now I can say that

  237. with authority because let me extrapolate. Now, the word for

  238. child is not present in the Greek. It's just the word. Well,

  239. what Americans know is micro here because of the case intent,

  240. it's micron here it says micron, but it's in the

  241. verse referring to Jezreel. Nobody else it's referring to Jezreel.

  242. So take note, where does the Bible use this Greek

  243. word in relation to children?

  244. Okay, we'll do it.

  245. First Samuel, chapter twenty, verse thirty five. And morning came

  246. and Jonathan went into the field just as he arranged

  247. the evidence for David, and a small servant was with him.

  248. In Greek. That's right, micro First Kings three seven.

  249. Now, oh Lord, my God, you have given your servant

  250. in the place of my David, my father.

  251. And I am a small child, and do not know

  252. my going out and my.

  253. Going in First Kings chapter eleven, verse seventeen, And hey,

  254. dad fled, and he and all the Edomites, the servants

  255. of his father went with him. They came to Egypt. Hey,

  256. dad was a small child. Second Chronicles, chapter two.

  257. Okay, and I could go on.

  258. This is multiple times you use micron in relationships to

  259. a small child. It's not just a child. This micron

  260. when you use it in conjunction, that means a small child.

  261. So how this is translated by Google Translate is actually correct. Now,

  262. I'll give it to you in the Lexum English septuagen.

  263. If I was you, I would purchase a copy and

  264. get this on the way to go.

  265. If you can't afford that, you let me know, because

  266. Maranatha Ministries will send you a copy of this translation.

  267. Okay, because we serve the Lord, our God. So if

  268. you need a copy of the Lexum Engle Septuagen, send.

  269. An email or a message to either Jose or myself

  270. and we will get one sent to your house.

  271. So this is what it says.

  272. And the Lord said to him, call his name jess real,

  273. because in a little while I will take avenge on

  274. jess upon the house of Judah. Now Here it uses

  275. the word micro in reference to time. This verse never

  276. had the Greek word kronos in it. There is no

  277. reference to time here. So here.

  278. They added to God's word and.

  279. Well said the house of Judah.

  280. So this gives you pause.

  281. Something else is at play here, But something else is

  282. at play.

  283. He's wanting you to see.

  284. Well small right now, the incident referred to here does

  285. concern Jayhu. It's something that jay Who did to the

  286. house of Israel. This was done you guessed it at Jezreel.

  287. All the seventy sons, well they have was murdered by Jayhu.

  288. But we have a big problem here when we look

  289. at this, because these verses are doing one thing. And

  290. yet Jayhu said quite correctly that he was killing these

  291. seventy sons because it was prophesied by Elijah that you

  292. do so.

  293. So why would God be.

  294. Pouring recompence on Jayhu on his head for fulfilling the

  295. word of the Lord. This can make your head spin.

  296. But you look at here in the Greek and it

  297. doesn't say Judah, doesn't say jay Who.

  298. It's not let's say this. So I guess we better

  299. read these verses. I guess we better.

  300. Read this chapter. Not very long, that's for sure, pretty

  301. short and sweet to the point.

  302. We can read this.

  303. Like I said, jose has you know a couple of

  304. translations he can read from. I can read these eleven

  305. verses from the Lexum English ship two again. So jose

  306. why don't you take a read up of it? What

  307. what translation are you going to use?

  308. I've got the Thompson's up right now, Matthew, I can

  309. use that one.

  310. Sure, go for it, all right.

  311. Joseah Chapter one A word of the Lord which came

  312. to Hoseah, the son of Biri, in the days of

  313. Osias and Joatham, and they has and Ezekias, king of Judah,

  314. and in the days of Jereb Boham, son of joe Azz,

  315. king of Israel. The beginning of the word of the

  316. Lord by Joseiah, when the Lord said to Josea, go

  317. take thee a wife of Hooredem and children of Hortems,

  318. since the land is going, and will go ahooring from

  319. the Lord. He then went and took Gomer, a daughter

  320. of de Belaying. And when she conceived and bore him

  321. a son, the Lord said to him, call his name

  322. Jezreel for yet a little while, and I will avenge

  323. the blood of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, and

  324. cause the kingdom of the House of Israel to cease.

  325. And it shall come to pass in that day that

  326. I will break the boe of Israel in the valley

  327. of Jezreel. And when she conceived again and bore a daughter,

  328. he said to him, call her name not compassionated, for

  329. I will no longer continue to have compassion on the

  330. house of Israel, but will set myself against them. But

  331. the children of Judah, I will have compassion. And I

  332. will save them by the Lord their God, and will

  333. not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle,

  334. nor by horses, nor by horsemen. And when she had weaned,

  335. not compassionated, she conceived again and bore a son, and said,

  336. call his name not my people, since you are not

  337. my people and I am not your God. Now the

  338. number of the children of Israel was like the sand

  339. of the sea, which cannot be measured nor counted. But

  340. it shall come to pass that in the place where

  341. it was said to them, you are not my people,

  342. they shall be called children of the Living God, and

  343. the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall

  344. be gathered together and shall appoint for themselves one head,

  345. and come up out of the land because great will

  346. be the day of Jezreel.

  347. What do you make of that?

  348. Well, it's uh, it's obviously at the beginning, it's like

  349. he's cursing, right, He's cursing Israel.

  350. And in the end, Matthew, he.

  351. Gives a way out of that curse, a way out

  352. for that to be resolved. It's it's it's a contrast

  353. from the beginning to from the beginning to the end

  354. of this chapter, Matthew, because you read the first part

  355. of it and it's it's like they're done for it,

  356. there's nothing they can do. But then at the end, boy,

  357. he's everything that he said before comes true.

  358. Well, one thing is for sure, there's no more Hebrew Israelites.

  359. Are there.

  360. Nope, Let that sink in. There is no more Hebrew Israelites.

  361. The word of the Lord has been fulfilled. He obliterated

  362. them with the Mighty Assyrian. That's what this is prophesying.

  363. This is prophesying what happen into the.

  364. Northern Kingdom of Israel in seven twenty two BC. The

  365. Mighty Assyrians swept in and interbred with them. That's why

  366. in the New Testament they're called Samaritans because they are

  367. half Assyrians.

  368. They are no more to this day. That's a fact.

  369. And yet are there still Jews Jose, Yes, their Matthew.

  370. And by the word of the Lord the New Covenant

  371. for Jeremiah chapter thirty one, verses thirty one through thirty four.

  372. Okay, the blood of the New Covenant of the Lord

  373. Jesus Christ.

  374. Now they can be reintegrated into greater Israel.

  375. That's what we are, right amen.

  376. You cannot get around the New Testament saying that, yes,

  377. it does unequivocably. We are integrated, and we are.

  378. The fulfillment of Israel. That's what gentiles are, and that's

  379. what we are.

  380. Romans chapters nineteen and eleven proves that beyond contestation. So

  381. literally everything that worked out here has literally come true

  382. in the Lord Jesus Christ by the blood of his

  383. New Covenant. So I'm gonna throw everybody a curveball. So

  384. it's important that you understand what he's saying here about Israel.

  385. Now everybody thinks they look up in their strongs concordance,

  386. and they'll look up the name Israel, and the strongs

  387. will say incorrectly that that is H eighty two eighty

  388. two plus H four ten.

  389. No, it's not.

  390. It has a prefix yod. That prefix Yod is from H.

  391. Thirty four seventy four to strengthen. Every single instance of

  392. the name Israel in the Bible has to prefix God.

  393. It is not Sarah's name. It's not Sarah's name combined

  394. with El God's name.

  395. No, it's not.

  396. So you need to know that right now that Israel,

  397. literally translated is whom God has straightened. And if you're

  398. a Jew, heads up, you batter repent. If you do

  399. not repent and come to the Lord Jesus Christ and

  400. the blood of his new Covenant, you will perish. But

  401. take note, you're not special. If the Germans don't do it,

  402. don't perish too. If the French don't do it, they

  403. shall perish. If your mother don't do it, she will parish.

  404. So that's what this is all about. He is telling

  405. you that the Assyrian is going to come and obliterate

  406. this northern tribe of Israel, but he will protect the

  407. line of Judah through it. That's what he was talking about,

  408. and that's actually what's going to happen. So once you

  409. realize that's what this is about, this is what the

  410. Twelfth Prophet that's what it's about.

  411. It's about the process of you understanding.

  412. That there's really going to be ten lost tribes, and

  413. they really are lost. They're not coming back. You are

  414. going to fulfill their place. You are going to be

  415. and grafted.

  416. Into their tree.

  417. Now, if there is any out there, and they repent

  418. of their sins earned from their wickedness and accept the

  419. blood of the new Covenant of the Lord Jesus Christ,

  420. they can be engrafted back on to their own tree, right, Jose. Yes, So,

  421. ladies and gentlemen, this first chapter in Jose it sets

  422. up the mechanation, the mechanism of this prophecy being fulfilled.

  423. So that's why zeph and I was written, yadaya all

  424. of them. That's what the Book of the Twelve is about.

  425. And he told you that up front. Now, Jose, have

  426. you heard creatures or teachers say this before.

  427. I've heard him touch on him, Matthew, but not obviously,

  428. nothing ever comparing Joseah to what's being said here. But

  429. I've heard them say similar language, but no, not not

  430. directly tying this prophecy to that, Matthew.

  431. Do you think that's pretty important?

  432. Absolutely? Yeah.

  433. Do you think it's pretty important that this is all

  434. one book, and it makes you think of like, let's

  435. take the twenty one verses in Obadiah.

  436. Once you understand that.

  437. It is incorporated in two Hoseiah chapter one, all of

  438. a sudden it bears new light, doesn't it. Yes, Now

  439. you've learned a whole lot from the book of Obadiah,

  440. because that's one of the main stays of this ministry.

  441. Can I can teach you in time meschatology with those

  442. twenty one verses, can't I?

  443. Yes?

  444. In those twenty one verses are incorporated the answer to

  445. the riddle of Isaiah chapter twenty six and the riddle

  446. of Revelation chapter twelve.

  447. Correct. Correct, But it is all a peace of.

  448. This first chapter of Josea. Now take note, if you

  449. get caught up in looking at these things, take note,

  450. there was a joe rum of Judah and Israel, and

  451. they were both ruling at the same time. And Jehu,

  452. the one who's a Hebrew, mentions here is the son

  453. of Joseph. Fact so incorporated into this story that it's

  454. talking about. Here is what a lot of people say,

  455. and a lot of ministers in this ministry.

  456. Because Leonard sent me.

  457. A tech one time about this very story. Hey, something's

  458. wrong here with Jayhu and jehol Rum.

  459. And some people are saying that that jay who is

  460. a short form of of of of the other name,

  461. and they say this is a mistake in the Bible.

  462. Really, really, do you need to understand that this is

  463. a highly complex and complicated matter, and nobody saw this coming,

  464. I mean.

  465. Heake.

  466. Note that the Jews read this chapter all the time.

  467. They read this chapter at least once a year, and

  468. yet verse eleven remains.

  469. There are still people.

  470. Who call themselves Jews, but there is not a people

  471. who call themselves Israelites anymore except Christians. Now take note

  472. that we can even use the words of the Lord

  473. Jesus Christ himself. Jesus Christ comes out and tells you

  474. exactly who an Israelite is. Now, surely everybody remembers the

  475. story of Nathaniel. I'll read from John chapter one, starting

  476. in verse forty seven, from the New King James version,

  477. Jesus saw Nathaniel coming toward him instead of him. Beholden Israelite,

  478. indeed in whom there is no deceit, the Lord Jesus

  479. Christ just said, and Israelites was someone who had been straightened.

  480. Nathaniel was a Jew, and Jesus just called him an

  481. Israelite that had been straightened. There was no deceit in him.

  482. I wonder who was expecting me to say that, Jose.

  483. I don't think a lot of people are expecting you that, Matthew.

  484. So let's talk a little bit about this name, Jezreel,

  485. because it's pretty important in this.

  486. Context, right right? What does that name Jezreel?

  487. Me?

  488. Let me put it up here.

  489. So in Hebrew it's aged thirty one fifty seven. And

  490. the definition here says God will sew.

  491. I'm right whom God sows.

  492. Amen.

  493. So this wordage kind of gives the valley of dry

  494. bones a whole new light, doesn't it, Amen, Because once

  495. the four spirits of Heaven stir them up, they come

  496. to life.

  497. Don't believe?

  498. Yes, So this is pretty important that and why do

  499. you think Let's get back to verse four, Mike Kron

  500. in Greek. Now we understand from what happened in the

  501. Valley of Jezreel, they who had killed these seventy sons

  502. of the King of Israel. Now we understand the play

  503. on what's going on here.

  504. He's wanting you to see.

  505. The children in association with this name of Jezreel right right.

  506. For for all intents and purposes, what happened between Jahu

  507. and those seventy, Matthew, was an iserconal event of the

  508. slaughter of the innocence. Right now we know they were

  509. of the House of Ahab, when we know that they

  510. were worship as a bail, so it's an inversion of

  511. the slaughter of the innocence. But that's the picture that

  512. I got soon as I so when I hear that

  513. you know, the seventy sons are going to be slaughtered,

  514. that's the picture that comes to my head. And so

  515. if we understand that's what the Assyrian is planning to do, Matthew,

  516. and God again is telling us what he's going to do.

  517. When the Assyrian tries that, he let Jayhu get away

  518. with it. But he's not going to let the Assyrian

  519. get away with that, Matthew.

  520. No, he's not. He will sow them.

  521. Amen.

  522. So you're you're touching on, well, you're touching on one

  523. of the mainstays of this ministry, the end time entities

  524. in reference to the male child.

  525. Correct, correct, Yes, So maybe we ought to touch just

  526. a little bit on those end time entities.

  527. Ladies and gentlemen. I'm gonna say this again. If you've

  528. got something to write with and something to write on,

  529. get ready because I'm going to point something out to

  530. you that you probably have not heard before. Now. I

  531. say that because this is not my first rogio.

  532. This is not I repeat, this is not the first

  533. time I've done this. But all of you think you

  534. know Revelation chapter twelve, and you think you know what

  535. it's talking about, right, jose correct, get ready to write.

  536. There are seven entities in that factor.

  537. Number one, the woman, number two, the child, number three,

  538. the dragon, number four, the eagle, number five, the serpent,

  539. number six, the Earth, and number seven the rest of

  540. her children. Now, the first thing people usually take umbrage

  541. with that is the simple fact that, wait a minute,

  542. the Earth is not an entity. And I kind of

  543. chuckle when people say that. Here, you better get ready

  544. to write, okay, Jeremiah chapter twenty two, verse twenty.

  545. Nine, Oh Earth, Earth, Earth, hear the word of the Lord.

  546. This is plainly stating that the Earth in fact is

  547. an entity.

  548. Leviticus chapter eighteen, verse twenty eight. Let's go to the

  549. law lets the land vomit you out also when you

  550. defile it, as it vomited out the nations that.

  551. Were before you.

  552. Hose, this is clearly making reference to the Earth being

  553. an entity, isn't it.

  554. Yes, Okay, let's.

  555. Try another one second. Chronicles, chapter seven, verse fourteen. If

  556. my people who are called by my name will homer

  557. themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from

  558. their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and

  559. I will forgive their sin.

  560. And heal their land.

  561. Jose, can you heal a dead thing? No, No, Jose,

  562. you cannot. So take note, ladies and gentlemen, we're touching

  563. very lightly on one of these. The group whom Jose

  564. is referencing is the child.

  565. Now.

  566. Of course, here in Revelation chapter twelve it presents itself

  567. in a singular fashion, But the answer to that prophecy

  568. is found in the Book of Obadiah and the twenty

  569. sixth chapter of Moseah of Isaiah. Yes it is, and

  570. it is most certainly prophetically incorporated here by way of

  571. well inversion. Jose said, it's kind of like a silhouette

  572. of something, and that's how Bible prophecy works. There's all

  573. kinds of shadows and silhouettes. God will give you to

  574. you in its exact form. He'll repeat it the exact

  575. same way, or he will repeat it a different way.

  576. Fake note.

  577. Everybody knows what happened to the Assyrian the first time

  578. an angel come and wiped out one hundred and eighty

  579. five thousand Assyrians, right Jose.

  580. Yes, and what happened in seventy eighty.

  581. Well, ladies and gentlemen, take note that the rebels the

  582. Zealots wiped out the Roman twelfth legion.

  583. Yes they did.

  584. They wiped out the whole legion and stole its eagles.

  585. Yes they did. Look it up.

  586. Guess where the romanell twelfth Legion was from. It was

  587. stationed in the land of the midst of the Rivers.

  588. Yes it was.

  589. I've got a full set of Encyclopedia Britannica right here

  590. I'm looking at. I could look it up and prove

  591. it to you. The Roman twelfth Legion was the Assyrian legion,

  592. Yes it was, and it had its eagle emblem stolen

  593. by the Zealots. This, of course, was the action that

  594. brought down upon it.

  595. The Fury of Rome.

  596. Now you can look up the actual name of the

  597. particular zealot that executed this, that stood in for this

  598. angel back in the Old Testament. So everything that God does,

  599. he does it either through shadow or silhouette. But the

  600. equation is always equaled, isn't it osea.

  601. Amen, it is, Matthew, and you even see it.

  602. I mean, I'm looking through second King's ten right now,

  603. Matthew talking about Jehu, and he not only kills the

  604. sons of the king, seventy of them, oh well, he

  605. is in the basket. He also kills the brothers of

  606. the King of Judah. He slaughters forty two of them.

  607. So not only that, keep not not only that, it

  608. goes farther than that. It says he killed his priest

  609. and anyone who was associated with him.

  610. Right, yes, absolutely, But you're right.

  611. He also says that he killed the forty seven that

  612. had come to the king. He killed them too. So

  613. this goes beyond the prophecy of Elijah, doesn't it.

  614. Amen.

  615. Elijah said only the sons.

  616. Jay, who went way farther than that, he killed everybody,

  617. even associated what they have.

  618. So I'm glad you brought that up.

  619. I'm glad you incorporated that, because truly this entire event

  620. that you're talking about. There, it's off the hook prophetically right, absolutely.

  621. So you know, it makes me wonder.

  622. What else is incorporated into these verses, because the entire

  623. book of the Twelve Prophets is hinged on this very thing.

  624. It's hinged upon these events. And literally speaking, ladies and gentlemen,

  625. wherever have you heard an end time Bible prophecy teachy

  626. that mentions.

  627. Isaiah chapter twenty six in reference to Revelation chapter twelve.

  628. But it is that important that you understand the purpose

  629. of these children. It really is important that you understand

  630. the purpose of these children. Now, before today you've probably

  631. heard the standard rigamaro. But have you read Isaiah chapter

  632. twenty six. Have you read about the woman with child?

  633. Because that's what it says.

  634. Now, most of you are probably taking offense to that.

  635. I don't know what you're talking about.

  636. That never mentions the pregnant woman the woman with male

  637. child in Revelation chapter twelve.

  638. Oh yes it does.

  639. Verse sixteen from Isaiah chapter twenty six. Lord in trouble,

  640. they have visited you. They poured out a prayer when

  641. you're chastening was upon them. Well, of course, because they're

  642. in the birth pains, just like the Lord Jesus Christ

  643. said they would be.

  644. In Matthew chapter twenty four, verse seventeen.

  645. As a woman with child as in pain and cries

  646. out in her pains when she draws near to the

  647. time of her delivery. So we have been in your

  648. side too, Lord, we have been with child, we have

  649. been in pain. We have, as it were, brought forth

  650. for wind. We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth,

  651. nor have the inhabitants of the world fallen. What's this

  652. translation used for the word form? Because when you give

  653. birth back in that time, you squatted and the baby

  654. would fall to the ground. God literally just said he

  655. takes these children where Revelation chapter twelve tells you where

  656. they go. Revelation chapter fourteen tells you where they wind up.

  657. But if you don't understand Jose chapter one, this is

  658. the entire framework that in time eschitology is built around.

  659. It's all about the children of the promise.

  660. Boy, you probably have I'm probably gonna say something that's

  661. gonna upset you, so I will say it about Jose.

  662. Before he knew these things, he really didn't know much

  663. at all. Jose when he encountered Marinath the ministries. He

  664. barely knew anything about INtime Bible prophecy when he had

  665. been studying it. That's how he ran across this ministry.

  666. So I'll say it about him, so I don't upset you.

  667. But if you didn't know these things. In Hosea chapter one,

  668. you don't think you You don't.

  669. Know as much as you think you do.

  670. Joseah chapter one, emphatically, God repeats himself saying, Israel genetically

  671. will be no more, but the Jews will be.

  672. And they will have one head. That all came from Joseiah.

  673. It didn't come from anywhere else, you know. Let me

  674. read verse eleven in the Lexum English Septuagion. And the

  675. sons of Judah and the sons.

  676. Of Israel will gather together, and they will establish for

  677. themselves one empire, and they will go up from the

  678. land because the day of Jezreel will be great. You know,

  679. I wonder how many people have ever just kept read

  680. reading once they understood that, and kept reading into verse

  681. two of the septuagen We're not going to get into

  682. that today. That'll be for next week.

  683. How's that your thoughts?

  684. No, Matthew, I just I just keep looking over Hoseah

  685. chapter one, and you're right, it just reiterates all of

  686. the well all of the entities that you're covering there

  687. in Revelation chapter twelve. It just keeps pointing us back

  688. to that chapter and back to the back to the

  689. events that transpire in Revelation chapter twelve.

  690. This is like, it's it's not only not only Matthew,

  691. it's like it's.

  692. Like, boy, God just coming out of the gate clearly

  693. stating how his government is going to be set up

  694. in the future and how it's going to be because

  695. Israel has has you know, been a harlett, played the harlet,

  696. so now he's got to go through all this to

  697. make everything right.

  698. And and you know, Matthew, you just get every every

  699. every verse in this chapter is pointing.

  700. Us to the male child, it's pointing us to the woman,

  701. it's pointing us to the rest of her children. So

  702. it's just this is just it's only eleven verse two.

  703. That That's what's amazing to me, Matthew. You know verse

  704. eleven what you read? I mean, boy, that's that's the

  705. two sticks coming together, right, that's the two edged sword.

  706. I mean, and there's only one person that's gonna wield that, Matthew.

  707. That's the Lord Jesus Christ himself. So it's just like

  708. everything that's coming up, it ties in, It ties in

  709. Romans into here for us, Matthew, change telling us who

  710. is Israel.

  711. It's tying everything in.

  712. And of course, you know, everything in the Gospel is here, Matthew,

  713. not only the the Nathan, Nathaniel, the Israelite that that

  714. you mentioned. But I couldn't help but think about the

  715. stones that Jesus said he would raise to be children

  716. of Abraham.

  717. I mean, it's just like every everywhere.

  718. Just reading this chapter, Matthew is just pointing me everywhere

  719. in the New Testament.

  720. And again it's only eleven verses.

  721. Hey, man, it's only eleven verses.

  722. So tell me. Have you looked at the etymology of

  723. this Jezreel in Greek?

  724. Not in Greek? No?

  725. Really? Well, you know, just so everybody knows, the first part.

  726. Is a.

  727. In Greek that comes from Well the take note, ladies

  728. and gentlemen, where did Jezebel die? Where was Jezebel?

  729. Well? I mean, where was she from?

  730. When I say that, it usually gets people attention because

  731. you're like, wait a minute, are you saying that?

  732. Is?

  733. Yes?

  734. Here, let me read for you first kings in chapter

  735. twenty one, verse seven, and Jezebel his wife said to him,

  736. is it thus thou now actest the king over Israel,

  737. Arise and eat, be like thyself, and I will go

  738. to the vineyard of neighb with thee the jezreel light.

  739. Yes, Jezebel in Greek is isa is a bell. It's

  740. enough to.

  741. Blow your mind because the great harlot of revelation is

  742. incorporated here in the Greek. If you have eyes that

  743. can see it, There's no way I.

  744. Can unsee it. When I'm looking at the Greek.

  745. Ladies and gentlemen, you're probably going to learn more than

  746. you've ever learned, if you've ever learned anything about the

  747. Twelve Prophets, because not a lot of anti ministries even

  748. cover the minor prophets, do they? Jose, I mean, they

  749. piecemeal it. They'll talk about, you know, some verses that

  750. they never cover the entire book let alone, the entire

  751. twelve prophets, do they.

  752. At least I know of?

  753. No, I haven't seen that.

  754. And isn't that pretty crazy? Because this is prophecy.

  755. Right, amen, So if you have a prophetic ministry, what

  756. on earth.

  757. Are you talking about?

  758. If you've never talked about I mean the twelve prophets,

  759. it makes you wonder, It makes you wonder, I mean

  760. eleven verses here in chapter one.

  761. You know, Jose, have you looked at verse ten?

  762. It says, and the number, the number, okay, of the

  763. sons of Israel was like the sand of the sea.

  764. Jose, what is that?

  765. That's the parent prophecy, Matthew.

  766. That's the parent prophecy. Oh, yes it is. And this

  767. number bring is the number of one of those in

  768. time entities. It's the last in time entity in Revelation

  769. chapter twelve. It is the rest of her children. So,

  770. ladies and gentlemen, you didn't remember the parent prophecy. All

  771. prophecies come from that prophecy. God told Abraham, your children

  772. will be numbered as the stars in the heaven and

  773. as the sand on the seashore.

  774. Why is this only mentioning the latter.

  775. Let's keep reading because he says something else too, And

  776. it will be in the place which will not be

  777. measured out nor counted. Ladies and gentlemen, if you didn't

  778. think this had anything to do with numbers. I don't

  779. know what to tell you. God is literally screaming at

  780. the top.

  781. Of his lungs.

  782. You need to look at this alphanumerically. I'll finish, and

  783. it will be in the place where it was said

  784. you are not my people. They will also be called sons.

  785. Of the Living God.

  786. So you have the word number measured and counted in

  787. one verse, verse ten. Guess where this group is numbered

  788. in the book of Revelation, Ladies and gentlemen, I'll tell you.

  789. Revelation chapter seven.

  790. Yes, it is the first verses. The latter verses describe

  791. your gathering together. So verse ten of Jose chapter one

  792. is the first part of Revelation chapter seven, and verse.

  793. Eleven, Yes, it does.

  794. Gather together, and they will establish for themselves.

  795. One empire.

  796. That is describing the second half of Revelation chapter seven,

  797. isn't it, Jose, Yes it is, Yes it is.

  798. Oh, yes it is, yes it is.

  799. If you didn't see that, ladies and gentlemen, until just now,

  800. I'm excited for you because this is going to be

  801. an exciting series. You've got a lot to learn because

  802. I didn't bring out what these Greek words are did I, Jose, Nope.

  803. Are you looking at him now? I'm digging through it, yes,

  804. digging through it, digging through it like the sand of

  805. the seashore. You're digging through it.

  806. Yep.

  807. Hey man, were you expecting the parent prophecy to be here?

  808. Jose, Yeah, yeah, yeah, once once we start getting into

  809. the prophetic side of things, Matthew, it's everywhere.

  810. Yep, it's everywhere.

  811. All right, you're closing comments.

  812. No, Matthew, this is.

  813. I knew when we're gonna start looking into the Greek

  814. that there was gonna be amazing things to discover. I

  815. mean that that goes without saying. But boy, this this

  816. chapter is a banger, Matthew. God comes out swinging in

  817. this first book here, in this first chapter of the

  818. first book of the Twelve Prophets, and I can't wait

  819. to keep digging because it's it's I could spend I

  820. could spend a month, Matthew, just reading the chapters that

  821. pop out of Jose chapter one.

  822. So that's I can't imagine what's coming next.

  823. You know.

  824. It's amazing how things familiar. It's comforting.

  825. Yep, yep.

  826. I mean, Jose, how many times have.

  827. Over the past fifteen years because you realize it has

  828. basically been sixteen years now.

  829. Amen, how many times you and I have looked at

  830. the twenty one verses of Obadiah?

  831. Right?

  832. Yeah, hundreds of times?

  833. Hold yes, So if you know that chapter and you

  834. know exactly what it's talking about, why would you read

  835. it again?

  836. It's comforting to your spirit, isn't it?

  837. Amen?

  838. All right, hose Craus out of here.

  839. Please, Dear Heavenly Father, whom we love and serve, I

  840. thank you once again for blessing this ministry, for allowing

  841. us to gather together, for blessing this ministry, and allowing

  842. us to share your word with the Church, the Ecclesia,

  843. the body, your congregation, Father, as we await your return

  844. and the return of your son, so that we may

  845. all be, We may all be, we may all be

  846. gathered together under your tabernacle. Lord Father. We know that

  847. there are difficult times that are ahead. We know that

  848. people are in difficult times today, But please grant us

  849. comfort in your word. Please grant us peace, Please grant

  850. us reassurance so that we may continue to do your work, Father,

  851. while there is still time that no matter the frustrations,

  852. no matter the tribulations, no matter the setbacks, we may
