-
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, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome
-
to the fellowship tonight. I guess I'm going to have
-
nothing to do with this. I guess that the ladies
-
in a private chat, perhaps they got to talking about
-
the falling away in Second Thessalonians, and in some convoluented
-
way that I have no understanding how they come to this,
-
because I guess Pammy said it was like a seventy
-
messages long. Somehow they got to Joshua chapter twenty two
-
with that. So I guess Jennifer's going to tell us
-
the ryman reason for this, because I, like I said,
-
I wasn't curvy to these seventy messages. So Jennifer, can
-
you come on and describe what happened? Please?
-
Okay? So I was trying to find the section that
-
talks about the falling away and then the man of
-
sin comes, So I looked up the word for falling away,
-
which I believe it said was g six forty six.
-
I believe I'm going off with memory here, and that
-
took me to the Old Testament. It was in three locations,
-
one of which was in Joshua twenty two.
-
Okay, So all right, so which which falling away are
-
you talking about here? In second? Thessalonians right second, Yes, Sorry,
-
one of.
-
The kiddos just showed up, so I'm gonna mute for
-
just a second and try and find it.
-
Okay, all right. So she's particularly talking about the Greek
-
word apostasia, uh so, which means a defection from the
-
truth to to to follo away. You know, lots of
-
people have talked about this, but she's saying that she
-
looked at this into Greek. I take it because she
-
mentioned a g number. So somehow she got from there
-
to Joshua chapter twenty two. And that's pretty important that
-
we realize how she's getting there is of course she's
-
looking in the hellenicas she is looking into the Greek Bible.
-
So that's the first thing I had to do, is
-
to figure out what if she was talking about the
-
Hebrew or the Greek, and she is talking about the Greek,
-
and that word, of course is used in Joshua, and
-
it's in twenty two twenty two. It's very easy to
-
remember twenty two twenty two. You can't get no more
-
easier than that. They're in the Book of Joshua and
-
reading from the Thompson's there it says, the Lord, our God,
-
is our God, and God himself, our God hath seen
-
and Israeled themselves may determine if through apostasy we have
-
trespassed in the sight of the Lord, let him not
-
this day deliver us. So that's just a loaded verse
-
as we very well could be. And of course I
-
make this. I have been saying this as often as possible.
-
This is a twenty thirty ministry. Now that's just what
-
I hope, Okay, I am hoping we are in the
-
birth pains. And if we are in the birth pains,
-
this verse is of hair mount importance because this is
-
the event horizon for apostaca in the Hellenica. What is
-
the Hellenica. Let's take a deep breath. There may be
-
a lot of people that's stumbling across this ministry right now.
-
The Hellenica is the sepcuagint coupled with what you call
-
the Texas receptus Now, the particular manuscript that we use
-
is called the Adido Regia. Everybody knows that. You may
-
not know its name, but you know where you get
-
the chapters and verses from. That's where it comes from,
-
the Adidal Regia. So, but many people don't realize that
-
that this is called by scholars today because well you
-
need to understand that. Well, I can't get too much
-
into that. They will call this the taxis receptist, and
-
they say that the Taxes Receptist is a group of manuscripts.
-
The Adido Regia is what is how you get the
-
King James version. It's how you get the new King
-
James version. That is why these scholars gnash their teeth
-
at those translations. That's why the other translations that they
-
use has missing versus, most importantly the missing verses from
-
First John chapter five, but there's plenty of other ones too.
-
So this is what Jennifer was looking at, was the Hellenica,
-
the complete Greek Bible. Remember, the septulogen is what Jesus
-
on multiple occasions directly quoted from. Now, if you go
-
to church and ask your pastor about that, or your
-
Sunday school teacher, they're going to tell you that we
-
don't use the Greek Septuagen. We use the Masoretic Text.
-
And that is true. All of your English Bibles is
-
based on the Masoretic Text, which you have two manuscripts
-
to go off of. Boy, I'm given information overload, ARNI.
-
That's enough. That's enough of that to make a long
-
story short. Everyone should know that when you're doing a
-
study of the Bible, that is God's Holy Word, and
-
it's way He gives way too much information for one language.
-
He never gave it an in, he gave it in Greek.
-
The oldest sep we have is from three hundred BC.
-
That predates the Hebrew we got by a thousand years. Okay,
-
so Maranatha Ministry uses a complete Hebraica. It's a complete
-
Hebrew Bible, which is that Mesoretical Testament coupled with the
-
Deltsch New Testament, and the Hellenica is the sept Kuagin
-
coupled with the Adido Regia. Please write these things down
-
if you want to ask me about them later. When
-
you're doing a Bible study of God's Word. This is
-
the paramount thing you do if you have a verse
-
or more importantly, it's usually a phrase. You pick out
-
the important words in those phrases in the original languages
-
and you trace it down. When you do that with
-
this Greek word apostasia, it's evy horizon is right here
-
in Joshua chapter twenty two, Verse twenty two. So the
-
idea begins in the Hellenica right here, this idea of apostasy.
-
And as you can see, this is all about deliverance.
-
So all the Greek words that I needed to see
-
in this verse I see. Now what's out of mind.
-
Let's get Jennifer back on here. So when you looked
-
at Joshua chapter twenty two, what are you seeing there?
-
What's this chapter about? How does this pertain? How does
-
it pertain to the great apostasy that's going to come
-
in the end times?
-
Jennifer, Well, I don't know if I picked up on
-
the same thing as anyone else would pick up on.
-
But this storyline was that the three tribes on the
-
east side of the Jordan had built an altar, and
-
all of the tribes on the west side, and please
-
correct me if I'm mistaken, were concerned about what was
-
happening with this altar, so they all came there to
-
confront them regarding the Altar, which they saw to be
-
an apostasy.
-
Is okay, Well you're leaving a vast swath out of
-
the picture. Probably okay, because you just said things that
-
people do not understand. Let's talk about what people understand.
-
How did they enter the Promised Land? How did they
-
do that?
-
Originally, when they came to the Promised Land, they came
-
in through Jericho, they went through the whole the whole
-
Promised Land fighting and then.
-
No, no, no, no, they didn't. They only entered the
-
Promised Land one way. And when they did it, the
-
water heaped up, which water.
-
The Jordan River.
-
That's right, that's how they entered the Promise Land. They
-
went across the Jordan River. What are you talking about
-
that these people are on but you're talking about people
-
outside the Promised Land?
-
No the well yeah, I.
-
Yes, yes, I am. I know what I'm talking about.
-
So this is the first thing you need to know,
-
ladies and gentlemen. This is a shock to your psyche
-
because you've been taught in Sunday school the Promised Land
-
was on the other side of the Jordan. Well, guess
-
what some of the tribes of Israel and even I mean,
-
we can talk about the maps, but that's a little
-
bit too much information. Right now. You need to know
-
that there was too many people and all of them
-
couldn't go across the Jordan. Some of them had to
-
stay on the outside of the Promised Land. And that's
-
what she's describing. Well, these people that were on the
-
wrong side of the Jordan, they're like, well, we're on
-
the wrong side of the Jordan. We don't have a bridge,
-
we can't go to that altar over there, so we'll
-
make our own altar. Okay, this is the story. What
-
are these people doing outside the Promised Land? Well, they
-
are prophetically new Let's ask Jennifer. Jennifer, how many children
-
do you have?
-
I have four children.
-
Are they Jews?
-
No?
-
Are they anyway remotely related to Abraham's physical scene. I'll
-
tell you no, absolutely not. They're no, No, they're not.
-
So you need to realize this, ladies and gentlemen, This
-
this data you're getting right here. If it wasn't here,
-
we wouldn't prophetically know or understand that way up in
-
the future, Lotti, Dottie, everybody would be considered Abraham seed
-
through the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ, it's right here.
-
And how do I say this? You should full well
-
know this. The establishment will always always reject those that
-
are not part of that establishment. That's what this whole
-
thing is about. The people in the established land of
-
the Promise, they got jealous. They're like, hey, those people
-
over there on the other side of the Jordan, they've
-
built an altar two different God. We can't have that.
-
You guys have to come over here. And they're sitting
-
there scratching your heads, like, well, you think God's going
-
to heap up the water every time all of us
-
want to come over there and worship where you guys
-
are worshiping at. That was never going to happen. And
-
they knew it. Why yes, why did the water the
-
Jordan heap up? Why did it heap up? Somebody better
-
open their mouth.
-
They had.
-
Come on, somebody say they had.
-
They were carrying the archaicrust.
-
Amen and the second the priest put his foot in
-
the water. Dam right. So we got a major problem
-
here because why was it the people on the west
-
side of the Jordan, Well, there was no way for
-
them to cross because they didn't have the ark of
-
the governant, right right, yes, so they're sitting there thinking
-
this ain't fair. We are the children of the Promise.
-
Now we might not be in the Promised Land, but
-
we are the children of the Promise, and we have
-
the right to worship the Lord, our God. That's what
-
this is all about. And take no already said it.
-
Who was it? They got mad and said that he
-
was going to go obliterate him from doing this. Oh yes,
-
all the people that was the master race, that was
-
in the Promised Land. Amen, if you weren't in the
-
Promised Land, you weren't technically the master race. I think
-
we should read this so that everybody realizes what's going on,
-
because I can't do it justice. I can tell you
-
so who were, where, when, why? But the spirit cannot
-
move through my description. I can give you all the
-
technical data, and believe me, these things I know instinctively.
-
I know what this is. I know what it says
-
in the mesoretic text, and I sure fire know what
-
it says in the subtuagen. I know what this says.
-
But hearken to my voice, you will never know what
-
it says until you read it, until you hear it
-
as God said it, and take note it doesn't matter
-
who reads it. It doesn't matter how well they read.
-
When you hear the words of the Lord your God,
-
it'll have an effect on you. Now, me personally, I
-
used to love to have my children read for family church.
-
Surely you all raised your children with having family church
-
every night? Right? You might not want to answer that
-
because God's listening. But I tell you true, if you
-
have a child read God's word, it will move you.
-
It'll move you. And when it rings with you, when
-
it rings you like a bell, when it rings true,
-
then you will understand it. And I can't do that.
-
I'm just describing it for you. My words are hollow,
-
but the words of the Lords your God are hallow.
-
There's a whopping big difference between hallow and hollow. So
-
who wants to read this? Who wants to read? Who
-
wants to fill in all the blanks here with Joshua
-
Chapter twenty two, Because we need to do that.
-
I will read it. But if perchance one of my
-
kids shows up, will one of you other ladies take
-
over for me?
-
Yes?
-
Yeah, okay, thank you?
-
Okay.
-
Then Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half
-
tribe of Manassa, and said to them, you have kept
-
all that Moses, the servant of the Lord, commanded you,
-
and have obeyed my voice and all that I commanded you.
-
You have not left to your brethren these many days
-
up to this day, but have kept the charge of
-
the commandment of the Lord your God. And now the
-
Lord your God has given rest to your brethren as
-
he promised them. Now, therefore, return and go to your
-
tents and to the land of your possessions, which Moses,
-
the servant of the Lord, gave you on the other
-
side of the Jordan. But take careful heed to do
-
the commandment and the law which Moses, the servant of
-
the Lord commanded you. To love the Lord your God,
-
and to walk in all his ways, and to keep
-
his commandments, to hold fast to him, and to serve
-
him with all your heart and with all your soul.
-
So Joshua blessed them and send them away, and they
-
went to their tents. Now to the half. Now to
-
the half the tribe of Manassa, Moses given a possession
-
and Bashan, But to the other half of it, Joshua
-
had gave a possession among their brethren on this side
-
of the Jordan westward. And indeed, when Joshua sent them
-
away to their tents, he blessed them and spoke to them, saying,
-
return with much riches to your tents, with very much livestock,
-
with silver, with gold, with bronze, with iron, and with
-
very much clothing. Divide the spoil of your enemies with
-
your brethren. So the children of Reuben, the children of Gad,
-
and the half tribe of Manassa returned and departed from
-
the children of Israel at Shiloh, which is in the
-
land of Canaan, to go to the country of Gilead,
-
to the land of their possession, which they had obtained
-
according to the word of the Lord by the hand
-
of Moses. And when they came to the region of
-
the Jordan, which is in the land of Canaan, the
-
children of Reuben, the children of God, and the half
-
tribe of Manassa, built an altar there by the Jordan,
-
a great impressive altar. Now the children of Israel heard
-
someone say, behold, the children of Reuben, the children of God,
-
and the half tribe of Manassa, have built an altar
-
on the frontier of the land of Canaan, in the
-
region of the Jordan on the Children of Israel's side,
-
And when the children of Israel heard of it, the
-
whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered together at
-
Shiloh to go to war against them. Then the children
-
of Israel sent Phineas, the son of Eliezar, the Priest,
-
to the children of Reuben, to the Children of God,
-
and the half tribe of Manassa into the land of Gilead,
-
and with him ten rulers, one ruler each from the
-
chief house of every tribe of Israel, and each one
-
was the head of the house of his father among
-
the divisions of Israel. Then they came to the children
-
of Reuben, the children of God, and the half tribe
-
of Manassa, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke
-
with them, saying, that says the whole congregation of the Lord,
-
what treachery is this that you have committed against the
-
God of Israel, to turn away this day from following
-
the Lord in that you have built for yourselves and altar,
-
that you might rebel this day against the Lord? Is
-
the equity of pay or not enough for us? From
-
which we are not cleansed till this day? Although there
-
was a plague in the congregation of the Lord. But
-
that you must turn away this day from following the Lord.
-
And it shall be if you rebel today against the Lord,
-
that tomorrow he will be angry with the whole congregation
-
of Israel. Nevertheless, if the Lord of your possession is unclean,
-
then land, sorry, land of your possession is un clean,
-
Then cross over to the land of the possession of
-
the Lord, where the Lord's tabernacle stands, and take possession
-
among us. But do not rebel against the Lord, nor
-
rebel against us by building ourselves an altar besides the
-
altar of the Lord our God. Did not a coon,
-
the son of Zarah, commit a trespass in the accursed thing,
-
and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel, And
-
that man did not perish alone in his iniquity. Then
-
the children of Reuben, the children of God, and the
-
half tribe of Manassa answered and said to the heads
-
of the divisions of Israel, the Lord, God of God's,
-
the Lord, God of God's, he knows, And let Israel
-
itself know if it is in rebellion, or if in
-
treachery against the Lord, do not save us This day,
-
if we have bailt ourselves an altar to turn from
-
following the Lord, or if to offer on it burnt
-
offerings or brains, or if to offer peace offerings on it,
-
let the Lord himself require an account. But in fact
-
we have done it for fear, for a reason saying,
-
in time to come, your descendants may speak to our
-
descendants saying, what have you to do with the Lord
-
God of Israel. For the Lord has made the Jordan
-
a border between you and us, You children of Reuben,
-
children of God, you have no part in the Lord.
-
So your descendants would make our descendants cease fearing the Lord.
-
Therefore we said, let us now prepare to build ourselves
-
an altar, not for burnt offering nor for sacrifice, but
-
that it may be a witness between you and us
-
and our generations after us, that we may perform the
-
service of the Lord before him, with our burnt offerings,
-
with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings, that your
-
descendants may not say to our descendants in the time
-
to come, you have no heart in the Lord. Therefore
-
we said that it will be when you say this
-
to us or to our generations to come in time
-
to come, that we may say, here is the replica
-
of the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made,
-
though not for burnt offerings nor for sacrifice, but it
-
is for a witness between you and us. Far be
-
it from us that we should rebel against the Lord
-
and turn from following the Lord this day, to build
-
an altar for burnt offerings, for great offerings, or for sacrifices,
-
besides the altar of the Lord, our God, which is
-
before his tabernacle. Now, when Phineas the priest and the
-
rulers in the congregation, the heads of the divisions of Israel,
-
who were with them, heard the words that the children
-
of Reuben, the children of Gad, and the children of
-
Manassa spoke, it pleased them. Then Phineas the son of Eliezer,
-
the priests said to the children of Reuben, the children
-
of Goad, and the children of Manassa, this day we
-
perceive that the Lord is among us, because you have
-
not committed this treachery against the Lord. Now you have
-
delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of
-
the Lord. And Phineas the son of Eliezar, the priest
-
and the rulers returned from the children of Reuben, the
-
children of God, and from the land of Gilead to
-
the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and
-
brought back word to them. So the thing pleased the
-
children of Israel, and the children of Israel blessed God.
-
They spoke no more of going against them in battle
-
to destroy the land where the children of Reuben and
-
God dwelt. The children of Reuben and the children of
-
God called the altar witness, for it is a witness
-
between us that the Lord is God.
-
How do you feel after that? What did you learn?
-
Now?
-
Me, I had some remembrancers triggered out of place and
-
out of time. Riddle me what is it? Verse fourteen?
-
Riddle for me verse fourteen again, Please.
-
And with him ten rulers, one ruler each from the
-
chief house of every tribe of Israel.
-
Really, really, so there's only ten tribes? I ask you
-
a question, Is there only ten tribes? No? Well, we
-
sure fire know that Israel is called the ten Lost Tribes? Right, Yes,
-
this is way before that event. But there is no
-
denying what was just said. Because Reuben was a tribe,
-
yes it was, and so was Dad. Why did God
-
say this, So all of you should know right now
-
that what God said here it echoed through time and
-
reverberated until the fullness of time. Amen, when ten of
-
the tribes would be ripped out of the King's hand. Amen.
-
And that's just to begin with. I mean, we should
-
study this right here. I mean you should begin to
-
study right here. You really should, because there's no denying
-
what God just said. He did just say there were
-
ten tribes, Yes he did. Now we can choose to
-
read it in whatever version you want. I really don't care.
-
I know what it says. So this has everything to
-
do about with will. I mean, even down to the
-
part where everybody should have expected it coming, that somebody
-
was going to say where the tabernacle was? That had
-
to be said, riddle for me Verse nineteen. Jennifer.
-
Sorry, I'm getting to the age where I can't see
-
if my glasses are on or if my glasses are off.
-
Join the club, Okay.
-
Nevertheless, if the land of your possession is unclean, then
-
cross over the land of the possession of the Lord,
-
where the Lord's tabernacle stands, and take possession among us.
-
But do not rebel against the Lord, nor rebel against
-
us by building yourself an altar besides the altar of
-
the Lord our God.
-
So now God's possession is only where his tabernacle live. Really,
-
you better wake up and get a clue. Everything you
-
can see that's God's possession. But for some reason the
-
master race wanted to think that God's possession was only
-
where they were. No, it ain't, No, it ain't. There's
-
two things in existence, yes, two, there's just two things
-
in existence. That's heaven and earth. That's it. That's only
-
two things in existence. You need to know those are
-
two different dimensions. There's heaven and then there's creation. So
-
the Bible caused creation earth or that which is firm
-
and boy, so much we could get into right now.
-
You need to realize that. Prophetically, if you're reading Second
-
Thessalonians chapter two and you don't know anything about this,
-
you really don't know anything. That's why here the latest heresing,
-
the latest rejectionism by these people who rejected the Bible
-
being God's word. They have here over the past several years,
-
been saying that apostasy actually means the rapture. It up,
-
look it up. I'm not joking. I know, I know
-
that is, well, that's a farce. But I'm telling you
-
the truth. This has been going around, I don't know
-
for a couple of years now that the apostasy actually
-
means rapture. So major things going on here, major things
-
going on that prophetically, you should know that God is
-
absolutely planning on delivering everybody who's not a part of
-
this institution. That there was coming a day where it
-
didn't matter who, what, where, when, why would not matter.
-
There was coming a time it didn't matter who you were.
-
You didn't have to be a part of the master race,
-
didn't matter what you were doing. You were allowed to
-
be a tent maker or a fisherman. It didn't matter
-
where you were at. You didn't have to be in
-
the you know, the establishment, didn't matter how old you were.
-
That is to say, when you didn't have to get
-
to be some age before you could be a part
-
of the King of God. And why would be irrelevant
-
as well, because they will never know why. Don't never
-
know why, And he's expecting you to know this for certain.
-
Of course, jose and I have already given great discourse
-
about this. It's called Slaughter of the Shepherds and the
-
Synagogue of Antichrist. Jerome described it. That was Jerome perfect.
-
I never said he was, but he had one thing right.
-
He warned the children of God that there was a
-
synagogue of Antichrist coming. By all means, look it up.
-
This is perfectly describing the situation that Israel was going
-
to find itself. And because we Christians are Israel. Where
-
Israel now, Sir Romans nine, Romans ten, and Romans eleven,
-
we are Israel. We're the children of the Promise, and
-
we're right where Reuben was, Gad was. And the half tribe, well,
-
let me say that the half half of the half
-
tribe of Nassa, because Manassa was on both sides of
-
the Jordan. Anyway, that's besides the point. So if you
-
didn't know all about this, he really couldn't understand the
-
circumstances that would arise in the times concerning the Great Apostasy.
-
Because well, I almost say this really clean. I don't
-
care if you got a doctor in theology or not,
-
if you have not been born again. Okay, now in
-
the Bible, God's totally word. That's not English. There Jesus
-
says born again. Now in another place in the New Testament.
-
The apostle used another term. He says reborn in Greek.
-
But I'm here to tell you if you have not
-
been born again or reborn, you're gonna burn. Just to
-
make sure we're clear, make sure we're clean. The smoke
-
of your torment will rise forever and ever. That's a fact.
-
That's a fact that hasn't happened yet, but it is
-
a fact regardless of time. So you need to know
-
that you need to get born again. You may very
-
well need to be reborn. One thing's for sure. A
-
child of the Promise is born of the spirit. And
-
if the spirit does it move in you, it's because
-
you're a dead issue. You could no more understand God's
-
word than the donkey could. You have no way to
-
comprehend the spirit language. You could not barken to his voice.
-
He's quite simply not speaking your language. So this describes, wow,
-
the perfect sets of events that's going to happen in
-
the Great Apostasy. And I use the language that I
-
used because this isn't my first rodeo. That's why I
-
used the term in the beginning institution. That's why I
-
used it. And you need to know that there's going
-
to be a group that's been cast out of that institution.
-
Do you need to know that? So I wonder how
-
this trip tribe of Manassa philt because this was very clear.
-
Now Ruben was a tribe and Goad was a tribe. However,
-
the text cleanly says, and the text is quoting what
-
God said, plainly said that ten of the leaders from
-
every tribe. So you do realize here the head of
-
the half tribe of Manassa was present and accounted for.
-
You didn't catch that because the half tribe of Nasa
-
was on both sides of the Jordan. So actually one
-
of these tan tin heads was exercising dominion over this
-
half tribe of Nassa. So you have the head of
-
a tribe coming against part of their tribe. You didn't
-
catch that. You didn't catch that, did you.
-
So you're talking about the heads as if they're that
-
they're not the men there, they're there angels.
-
I didn't say that.
-
Well, I'm thinking that way.
-
Why are you thinking that way?
-
Because if it's prophetic and you're talking about the heads
-
in revelation, are we talking about the men? There's a
-
man that's going to come against.
-
I thought had okay, okay, okay, slow down, okay, slow down.
-
Dad is one tribe and Reuben is one tribe. Right,
-
that's why only ten heads came the head who was
-
over this half tribe of Manassa that was on the
-
wrong side of the Jordan. It came against its own tribe. Right,
-
So let's just ask that who would have been the
-
head of the half tribe of Manassa, because there's own
-
only twelve heads. There's only twelve heads, So which head
-
wouldn't have been over to half tribal Nassa?
-
Jennifer, I'm not sure, and I don't want to say wrongly.
-
You've spoken wisely, because it wouldn't have been wise to
-
get it wrong. But now that I've brought it to
-
your attention, now it's a thorn in your flesh, isn't it?
-
You realize that Why didn't I see any of this?
-
Why did no one tell you this before? Why is that?
-
Why is that that I and my children and family
-
church certainly discussed this chapter. They certainly know about it,
-
and in future times they had to figure out in
-
the Wait a minute, there's only twelve heads of the
-
tribes of Israel, so who technically was over the half
-
tribe of Manassa, who was coming against this half tribe
-
that well, like I said, it was split on both
-
sides of the Jordan, So the good guys of the
-
tribe of Manassa was coming against the bad guys of
-
the tribe of Manassa on the other side of the river.
-
It's important, right you would consider this important? Is definitely,
-
definitely Once again, you have spoken wisely, because God don't
-
waste his breath, and he's absolutely inserting in here that
-
this was going to happen concerning a great apostasy. I mean,
-
this is the first time it choosed in the Bible. Both.
-
What was your original question? I love doing this when
-
I'm in a classroom. So, Jennifer, what was your original question?
-
I'm not even sure if it's relevant. My original thing
-
that I had picked up on was the way Phineasa
-
had said that they were going to bring judgment on
-
everybody through their action. Was what I had originally picked
-
up on.
-
That's right, and that's a very good thing for it.
-
Why is he admitting that, and not only that he
-
gives example to it? What's the example.
-
He used?
-
The example?
-
I don't remember as the time I had the.
-
Starts with a z Zira and Akon and what happened.
-
Ekon, son of Zorra commit a trespass and the accursed
-
thing and wrath fell on the congregation of Israel? And
-
what was And okay, I have slight I didn't look
-
it up, but I thought that was the guy that
-
earlier on had taken the stuff that he was not
-
supposed to take. Is that wrong?
-
You mean the possessions? Yes? Is that phraseology used in
-
this Did you hear that word at all? Anything about possessions?
-
A cursed thing was what I had correlated it with.
-
But yeah, like I said, I could be wrong because
-
I hadn't looked back to see where that went.
-
Anybody want to answer that question I just gave. Is
-
that term possession used anywhere else in this chapter? Is
-
it ever here in this chapter? Te four seven nine nineteen, Hello, somebody?
-
It says unfaithfully did not I'm reading out of the NEESB.
-
For some reason, I still use it anyway. Is said,
-
did not Akon the son of Zarah act unfaithfully in
-
the things under the ban? And rath fell on all
-
the congregation of Israel? And that man did not perish
-
alone in his iniquity.
-
That's right, he did not perish. Absolutely correct, he did
-
not perish alone in his iniquity. But like I said,
-
possession is used here in verse four, seven, nine, and nineteen.
-
But yes, the sin in question was about taking possessions.
-
So obviously we would need to familiarize ourselves with what happened,
-
because nobody seems to remember what happened. So where is
-
that found now? And I remember where that happened? With
-
this go ahead, I.
-
Thought it was earlier in Joshua. I thought it was
-
after they went through Ai. And then is this wrong
-
or right? And then they went onto another town after that,
-
and they were told flatly, I thought not to collect
-
anything or keep anything. And then I thought, man did
-
and he buried it. If I'm remembering correctly.
-
And A can answer Joshua and said, indeed, indeed, I
-
have sinned against the Lord God of Israel. And this
-
is what I have done. When I saw among the
-
spoils of beautiful Babulonian garment, two hundred shekels of silver
-
and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted
-
them and took them, and there they are kidden in
-
the earth in the midst of my I could say tabernacle,
-
but this version says hint with the silver under it. Well,
-
I could start preaching right here. I can see all
-
the way to Beulah Land from here. I mean, I
-
can see, oh the way to the Kingdom of Heaven
-
from just right here. Now, many of you might not
-
be over be able to do that. I mean, we
-
could just start right here and I could go straight
-
to I can just I could tell you all about
-
the Kingdom of heavens from right here. Now, take note
-
that what is also mentioned here, because if we go
-
back to Joshua twenty two, he also mentions, puore, does
-
anybody remember what happened there first? The same thing?
-
No, that was in the exodus in the wilderness. It
-
was also my other translation, says fag Or with PhD R.
-
So yes. So we agree that God is giving us
-
a list of details surrounding Joshua twenty two and this apostasy,
-
and he's expecting you to do an absolute study of
-
those events before you ever come here. If you come here,
-
you have no idea, no idea what is to come.
-
What he's saying here's you have to take these list
-
of events that he mentions. You must study and digest
-
those first. Then you're ready for what's to come. Because
-
Joshua twenty two is what's to come. So this is
-
the first thing you need to do with the Bible.
-
And the Bible is God's holy Word. Do you need
-
to understand that? And he gives you examples, You're supposed
-
to stop what you're doing, go study all those examples
-
because you cannot understand what you're reading unless you know
-
and let me make sure I make myself clear. Unless
-
you know, you know those events to the point where
-
those events will cause remembrancers to be triggered when you
-
read something else. Because when you read josh For twenty two,
-
that is what is to come from those events. So
-
God is triangulating for you a moment in time that
-
lies in the future. Now, if you didn't know that
-
everything you know about the Bible you can divide by
-
one third, you actually only know one third what you
-
think you know, because incorporated into the Hebrew and Greek
-
of these examples he's giving you is what is required
-
to understand what is to come, which is Joshua chapter
-
twenty two. So if you don't know everything about what
-
happened with this key or episode or you know Fhag
-
or you know whatever. The English remember, the English translation
-
is going to use three or four different things, okay,
-
or what happened with Aiken? If you don't know everything
-
about those events, you cannot possibly understand Joshua chapter twenty two.
-
Joshua chapter twenty two is what is to come from
-
those events? What I like to do when I'm in
-
a classroom, if I had a whiteboard or a chopboard,
-
is I write these events down. I'll write them in
-
different places, and then I will draw a line in
-
the middle to Joshua chapter twenty two. And it's usually
-
of how I usually start the class cluss, I what
-
is that? Well, we're going to talk about something that
-
you can't possibly understand today, because I'm going to ask
-
you who's aching. Usually they all scratch their head like
-
I have no idea. They don't even have a remembrance
-
or triggered of what it could be until you read
-
for them Joshua twenty two, and then memories start surfacing.
-
But before you read Joshua twenty two, they won't even
-
know what these these names are so well always. They
-
can't do that today because the top of the hours
-
time for us to quit. But of course, this being
-
a fellowship, we can't quit at the top of the hour.
-
I obviously has to ask if there's anything else anybody
-
wants to talk about, So anybody and everybody, is there
-
anything else anybody wants to talk about before we close tonight? No, Tammy,
-
why don't you come on and tell us your thoughts?
-
Did you learn anything separate from this private chat that
-
you guys had going on that was seventy seventy texts long.
-
Did you find out anything different? Did you learn anything?
-
Well, I learned I have a lot more studying to do.
-
That's what I learned, man.
-
Amen. And we never even got to readd Slonian chapter.
-
Now as brings up more questions and where you dig
-
in and where you want to.
-
Dig you know what? It creates an insatiable hunger within me, Amen,
-
I mean it does, Amen. I will get up at five,
-
ladies and gentlemen, no one understand this. This is the truth.
-
I get up at five o'clock every day and I
-
don't have to be to work till seven. The first
-
thing in the morning, I jump in the shower and
-
get dressed. I got a habit as of I'll tell
-
you what had me today, obayed me for three days.
-
Let me wittle you. Do you know here we put it? Well,
-
we put it to your thought, like you do not know?
-
Have you not heard? Where is the tiberback of David? Propheside? Oh, Taman,
-
what am I talking about?
-
The tarenacle of David? Is where the tenth was when
-
he fellowship with the Lord before they built the temple.
-
Isn't that.
-
The one in the wilderness?
-
Well, I will say this. We need to tell everybody
-
what we're talking about. Amous chapter nine, verse eleven. On
-
that day will raise up the Tabernacle of David, which
-
has fallen down. I will prepare it to damages. I
-
will raise up its ruins and rebuild it as in
-
the days of old. This is quoted, of course, in
-
Acts chapter fifteen, verse six. It's also mentioned in Isaiah
-
chapter sixteen, verse five. Where is this all prophesied? Do
-
you not know? Have you not heard Ritip propheside? You
-
don't know? Yeah, so you don't know. If it's Isaiah,
-
you don't know. If it's Jeremiah, you don't know where
-
this is prophesied that this is gonna happen, because that
-
prophecy tells you of where you're going to be during
-
the tribulation, that that's where this it's a prophecy. I'll
-
tell you what. I'll give you a hint. It's one
-
of the Psalms, the idea of the Tabernacle of David.
-
It's prophesied in the Psalms. And I just I hunger
-
after it. And this is what God does to me
-
all the time. I just go from hunger to hunger,
-
to hunger to hunger. Who knows what He's going to
-
get my attention today. I might be randomly reading a
-
chapter in Matthew. It'll trigger a remembrancer, and I'll be
-
searching for days. I'll just be digesting the word of
-
the Lord Jesus Christ. I'll just be digested. I can't.
-
I'll get up at five o'clock, ladies and gentlemen, I
-
have an hour lunch. This is a fact. I have
-
picked the closest part to my position to my place
-
I work. I drave straight there and I eat, and
-
that takes me exactly ten minutes to drive and to eat.
-
At that time, I'm in my Bible studying for forty minutes.
-
I have to stop at ten minutes too, because I
-
have to get back and clock in back in time.
-
When I get home. Ask my wife, she will be.
-
Ask all of my children they were better hostimony to
-
what I do. A hunger for his word. I know
-
what is to come, and that's what I want to happen.
-
I don't want to raise at work. I don't want
-
a better job. I don't want to retire. I don't
-
give a flying rip what I get from my birthday.
-
What I want is what I know, what is coming,
-
and it is and what is coming the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
Everything else as far as I'm concerned, and burn it
-
can burn. Give me Jesus everything else can burn. Now
-
you can ask my children this. They will all they
-
will want, and all testify that they have heard their
-
daddy state this and proclaim this. The only reason why
-
this is still here is because God hasn't given me
-
the match. Ask them, they'll I'll tell you that let
-
it before the Lord Jesus Christ. Let me cling to
-
the Him of his garment and let it burn. You
-
can offer me gold. I'll tell you to take a
-
flying leap. You can offer me silver, or you can
-
offer me the most precious Babylonian garment, and I will
-
laugh at you. I will tell I'll look you right
-
now and I'll tell you give me Christ the key.
-
My whole family can testify to this. That's a fact.
-
All my sib everybody, my siblings, everybody can testify. If
-
you would but study God's word and read it like
-
it is reference material, it would create a hunger in you,
-
and you would be just like me. You'd be just
-
like Tammy. You gotta know, you gotta know you can't
-
help yourself. You have to know it'll drive you nuts.
-
I mean, this is obviously what happened with Jennifer. She's
-
just randomly reading First Thessalonians, chapter two. She randomly stumbles
-
across this word in Greek, and she's like, well, I
-
wonder what that is, and she couldn't put it down.
-
She had to know, how do I get to that?
-
How do I figure out? How do I search the
-
Hellenica for this next thing? You know? The first instance
-
she finds is Joshua, chapter twenty two, and she can't
-
keep it inside. She has to build it over into
-
this private chat that the girls were having and turned
-
it went from one message to seventy. And now you
-
know why. This is why the institution are rejectionist. Most
-
of you can very easily do this. You can compare
-
your denomination with the Bible and you're like, wait a minute,
-
why is it in our church bylaws? We're violating God's
-
word on multiple occasions. Because you don't know their rejectionists.
-
The Bible is not their authority. Their institution is. And
-
their institution says that the Church pronounces this to be
-
true no matter what the Bible says about it, because
-
they say that the Bible is falliable, that it failed
-
over time. As time went on, truth moved forward and
-
the Bible was left behind, and they shall receive their
-
recompense in donne. I mean this is a matter of fact.
-
The Lord just told me to stop. That was enough.
-
You need to know that what happened to Jennifer and
-
what happened to Tammy will happen to you if you
-
desire it. If you want to get near to God,
-
he will get near to you, and you need to
-
be informed that how you.
-
Do that.
-
Is through His word. But if you have the entire
-
clergy that has set up over you telling you that
-
the Bible is not God's word, well, you're gonna wind
-
up where you're at, and you're gonna stay there in
-
the wilderness. And I'm here to tell you, no matter
-
what I say, no matter what you say, no matter
-
what the boat says, or whoever else you could make
-
up in your mind, none of what comes out of
-
those people's mouths matter. It's what's written in God's Holy
-
Word that matters, because that's what you're going to be
-
judged off of. And if you would just make a
-
deep breath and just believe it for once, don't listen
-
to their lives, if you would just try to accept
-
in your mind that the Bible is God's reference material
-
that he wrote for the children of the promise. If
-
you convince yourself of that, you know, eventually, if you
-
believe that, you'll have faith in that, because the Greek
-
word's the same word. I'm sorry if I'm the first
-
one to tell you that, but you need to know
-
that they're in the Bible. The word for faith is
-
the word for belief, and that is cured by teaching.
-
But that's what the Lord Jesus Christ did. Let me
-
ask again, does anybody else have anything they want to
-
talk about before we go going once going nice for
-
times a charm who's going to pray us out of here?
-
I'll pray, thank you.
-
Dear Father, thank you so much for tonight and all
-
that we have learned and all we yet to learn.
-
And pray.
-
People get a hunger and there's for your word that
-
they dig in for themselves, that they can see these
-
things for themselves. Father, and I pray for especially for
-
Matthew and his family. I just want to lift them
-
up to you, Lord. We are so blessed and so
-
grateful for Matthew's teaching, for him sharing the Gospel with us,
-
for the way that you have raised him to do
-
this work that you called him to do, and that
-
he's faithful to continue to do despite all the arrows
-
and attacks of the enemy on him and his family. Father,
-
I just I pray that you protect them and be
-
their shield Father, and these difficult times, so that we
-
can continue to learn and to hear these teachings, so
-
that it is possible for us to continue as long
-
as we are able. Father, in Jesus' name, I'm.
-
In amen and Amen. Until next time, ladies and gentlemen, God, bless,
-
God speed.
