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

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

  3. subscribe and support this podcast. So we are mere Nathal Ministries,

  4. and now Redemption draweth nigh. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome

  5. to the fellowship tonight. I guess I'm going to have

  6. nothing to do with this. I guess that the ladies

  7. in a private chat, perhaps they got to talking about

  8. the falling away in Second Thessalonians, and in some convoluented

  9. way that I have no understanding how they come to this,

  10. because I guess Pammy said it was like a seventy

  11. messages long. Somehow they got to Joshua chapter twenty two

  12. with that. So I guess Jennifer's going to tell us

  13. the ryman reason for this, because I, like I said,

  14. I wasn't curvy to these seventy messages. So Jennifer, can

  15. you come on and describe what happened? Please?

  16. Okay? So I was trying to find the section that

  17. talks about the falling away and then the man of

  18. sin comes, So I looked up the word for falling away,

  19. which I believe it said was g six forty six.

  20. I believe I'm going off with memory here, and that

  21. took me to the Old Testament. It was in three locations,

  22. one of which was in Joshua twenty two.

  23. Okay, So all right, so which which falling away are

  24. you talking about here? In second? Thessalonians right second, Yes, Sorry,

  25. one of.

  26. The kiddos just showed up, so I'm gonna mute for

  27. just a second and try and find it.

  28. Okay, all right. So she's particularly talking about the Greek

  29. word apostasia, uh so, which means a defection from the

  30. truth to to to follo away. You know, lots of

  31. people have talked about this, but she's saying that she

  32. looked at this into Greek. I take it because she

  33. mentioned a g number. So somehow she got from there

  34. to Joshua chapter twenty two. And that's pretty important that

  35. we realize how she's getting there is of course she's

  36. looking in the hellenicas she is looking into the Greek Bible.

  37. So that's the first thing I had to do, is

  38. to figure out what if she was talking about the

  39. Hebrew or the Greek, and she is talking about the Greek,

  40. and that word, of course is used in Joshua, and

  41. it's in twenty two twenty two. It's very easy to

  42. remember twenty two twenty two. You can't get no more

  43. easier than that. They're in the Book of Joshua and

  44. reading from the Thompson's there it says, the Lord, our God,

  45. is our God, and God himself, our God hath seen

  46. and Israeled themselves may determine if through apostasy we have

  47. trespassed in the sight of the Lord, let him not

  48. this day deliver us. So that's just a loaded verse

  49. as we very well could be. And of course I

  50. make this. I have been saying this as often as possible.

  51. This is a twenty thirty ministry. Now that's just what

  52. I hope, Okay, I am hoping we are in the

  53. birth pains. And if we are in the birth pains,

  54. this verse is of hair mount importance because this is

  55. the event horizon for apostaca in the Hellenica. What is

  56. the Hellenica. Let's take a deep breath. There may be

  57. a lot of people that's stumbling across this ministry right now.

  58. The Hellenica is the sepcuagint coupled with what you call

  59. the Texas receptus Now, the particular manuscript that we use

  60. is called the Adido Regia. Everybody knows that. You may

  61. not know its name, but you know where you get

  62. the chapters and verses from. That's where it comes from,

  63. the Adidal Regia. So, but many people don't realize that

  64. that this is called by scholars today because well you

  65. need to understand that. Well, I can't get too much

  66. into that. They will call this the taxis receptist, and

  67. they say that the Taxes Receptist is a group of manuscripts.

  68. The Adido Regia is what is how you get the

  69. King James version. It's how you get the new King

  70. James version. That is why these scholars gnash their teeth

  71. at those translations. That's why the other translations that they

  72. use has missing versus, most importantly the missing verses from

  73. First John chapter five, but there's plenty of other ones too.

  74. So this is what Jennifer was looking at, was the Hellenica,

  75. the complete Greek Bible. Remember, the septulogen is what Jesus

  76. on multiple occasions directly quoted from. Now, if you go

  77. to church and ask your pastor about that, or your

  78. Sunday school teacher, they're going to tell you that we

  79. don't use the Greek Septuagen. We use the Masoretic Text.

  80. And that is true. All of your English Bibles is

  81. based on the Masoretic Text, which you have two manuscripts

  82. to go off of. Boy, I'm given information overload, ARNI.

  83. That's enough. That's enough of that to make a long

  84. story short. Everyone should know that when you're doing a

  85. study of the Bible, that is God's Holy Word, and

  86. it's way He gives way too much information for one language.

  87. He never gave it an in, he gave it in Greek.

  88. The oldest sep we have is from three hundred BC.

  89. That predates the Hebrew we got by a thousand years. Okay,

  90. so Maranatha Ministry uses a complete Hebraica. It's a complete

  91. Hebrew Bible, which is that Mesoretical Testament coupled with the

  92. Deltsch New Testament, and the Hellenica is the sept Kuagin

  93. coupled with the Adido Regia. Please write these things down

  94. if you want to ask me about them later. When

  95. you're doing a Bible study of God's Word. This is

  96. the paramount thing you do if you have a verse

  97. or more importantly, it's usually a phrase. You pick out

  98. the important words in those phrases in the original languages

  99. and you trace it down. When you do that with

  100. this Greek word apostasia, it's evy horizon is right here

  101. in Joshua chapter twenty two, Verse twenty two. So the

  102. idea begins in the Hellenica right here, this idea of apostasy.

  103. And as you can see, this is all about deliverance.

  104. So all the Greek words that I needed to see

  105. in this verse I see. Now what's out of mind.

  106. Let's get Jennifer back on here. So when you looked

  107. at Joshua chapter twenty two, what are you seeing there?

  108. What's this chapter about? How does this pertain? How does

  109. it pertain to the great apostasy that's going to come

  110. in the end times?

  111. Jennifer, Well, I don't know if I picked up on

  112. the same thing as anyone else would pick up on.

  113. But this storyline was that the three tribes on the

  114. east side of the Jordan had built an altar, and

  115. all of the tribes on the west side, and please

  116. correct me if I'm mistaken, were concerned about what was

  117. happening with this altar, so they all came there to

  118. confront them regarding the Altar, which they saw to be

  119. an apostasy.

  120. Is okay, Well you're leaving a vast swath out of

  121. the picture. Probably okay, because you just said things that

  122. people do not understand. Let's talk about what people understand.

  123. How did they enter the Promised Land? How did they

  124. do that?

  125. Originally, when they came to the Promised Land, they came

  126. in through Jericho, they went through the whole the whole

  127. Promised Land fighting and then.

  128. No, no, no, no, they didn't. They only entered the

  129. Promised Land one way. And when they did it, the

  130. water heaped up, which water.

  131. The Jordan River.

  132. That's right, that's how they entered the Promise Land. They

  133. went across the Jordan River. What are you talking about

  134. that these people are on but you're talking about people

  135. outside the Promised Land?

  136. No the well yeah, I.

  137. Yes, yes, I am. I know what I'm talking about.

  138. So this is the first thing you need to know,

  139. ladies and gentlemen. This is a shock to your psyche

  140. because you've been taught in Sunday school the Promised Land

  141. was on the other side of the Jordan. Well, guess

  142. what some of the tribes of Israel and even I mean,

  143. we can talk about the maps, but that's a little

  144. bit too much information. Right now. You need to know

  145. that there was too many people and all of them

  146. couldn't go across the Jordan. Some of them had to

  147. stay on the outside of the Promised Land. And that's

  148. what she's describing. Well, these people that were on the

  149. wrong side of the Jordan, they're like, well, we're on

  150. the wrong side of the Jordan. We don't have a bridge,

  151. we can't go to that altar over there, so we'll

  152. make our own altar. Okay, this is the story. What

  153. are these people doing outside the Promised Land? Well, they

  154. are prophetically new Let's ask Jennifer. Jennifer, how many children

  155. do you have?

  156. I have four children.

  157. Are they Jews?

  158. No?

  159. Are they anyway remotely related to Abraham's physical scene. I'll

  160. tell you no, absolutely not. They're no, No, they're not.

  161. So you need to realize this, ladies and gentlemen, This

  162. this data you're getting right here. If it wasn't here,

  163. we wouldn't prophetically know or understand that way up in

  164. the future, Lotti, Dottie, everybody would be considered Abraham seed

  165. through the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ, it's right here.

  166. And how do I say this? You should full well

  167. know this. The establishment will always always reject those that

  168. are not part of that establishment. That's what this whole

  169. thing is about. The people in the established land of

  170. the Promise, they got jealous. They're like, hey, those people

  171. over there on the other side of the Jordan, they've

  172. built an altar two different God. We can't have that.

  173. You guys have to come over here. And they're sitting

  174. there scratching your heads, like, well, you think God's going

  175. to heap up the water every time all of us

  176. want to come over there and worship where you guys

  177. are worshiping at. That was never going to happen. And

  178. they knew it. Why yes, why did the water the

  179. Jordan heap up? Why did it heap up? Somebody better

  180. open their mouth.

  181. They had.

  182. Come on, somebody say they had.

  183. They were carrying the archaicrust.

  184. Amen and the second the priest put his foot in

  185. the water. Dam right. So we got a major problem

  186. here because why was it the people on the west

  187. side of the Jordan, Well, there was no way for

  188. them to cross because they didn't have the ark of

  189. the governant, right right, yes, so they're sitting there thinking

  190. this ain't fair. We are the children of the Promise.

  191. Now we might not be in the Promised Land, but

  192. we are the children of the Promise, and we have

  193. the right to worship the Lord, our God. That's what

  194. this is all about. And take no already said it.

  195. Who was it? They got mad and said that he

  196. was going to go obliterate him from doing this. Oh yes,

  197. all the people that was the master race, that was

  198. in the Promised Land. Amen, if you weren't in the

  199. Promised Land, you weren't technically the master race. I think

  200. we should read this so that everybody realizes what's going on,

  201. because I can't do it justice. I can tell you

  202. so who were, where, when, why? But the spirit cannot

  203. move through my description. I can give you all the

  204. technical data, and believe me, these things I know instinctively.

  205. I know what this is. I know what it says

  206. in the mesoretic text, and I sure fire know what

  207. it says in the subtuagen. I know what this says.

  208. But hearken to my voice, you will never know what

  209. it says until you read it, until you hear it

  210. as God said it, and take note it doesn't matter

  211. who reads it. It doesn't matter how well they read.

  212. When you hear the words of the Lord your God,

  213. it'll have an effect on you. Now, me personally, I

  214. used to love to have my children read for family church.

  215. Surely you all raised your children with having family church

  216. every night? Right? You might not want to answer that

  217. because God's listening. But I tell you true, if you

  218. have a child read God's word, it will move you.

  219. It'll move you. And when it rings with you, when

  220. it rings you like a bell, when it rings true,

  221. then you will understand it. And I can't do that.

  222. I'm just describing it for you. My words are hollow,

  223. but the words of the Lords your God are hallow.

  224. There's a whopping big difference between hallow and hollow. So

  225. who wants to read this? Who wants to read? Who

  226. wants to fill in all the blanks here with Joshua

  227. Chapter twenty two, Because we need to do that.

  228. I will read it. But if perchance one of my

  229. kids shows up, will one of you other ladies take

  230. over for me?

  231. Yes?

  232. Yeah, okay, thank you?

  233. Okay.

  234. Then Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half

  235. tribe of Manassa, and said to them, you have kept

  236. all that Moses, the servant of the Lord, commanded you,

  237. and have obeyed my voice and all that I commanded you.

  238. You have not left to your brethren these many days

  239. up to this day, but have kept the charge of

  240. the commandment of the Lord your God. And now the

  241. Lord your God has given rest to your brethren as

  242. he promised them. Now, therefore, return and go to your

  243. tents and to the land of your possessions, which Moses,

  244. the servant of the Lord, gave you on the other

  245. side of the Jordan. But take careful heed to do

  246. the commandment and the law which Moses, the servant of

  247. the Lord commanded you. To love the Lord your God,

  248. and to walk in all his ways, and to keep

  249. his commandments, to hold fast to him, and to serve

  250. him with all your heart and with all your soul.

  251. So Joshua blessed them and send them away, and they

  252. went to their tents. Now to the half. Now to

  253. the half the tribe of Manassa, Moses given a possession

  254. and Bashan, But to the other half of it, Joshua

  255. had gave a possession among their brethren on this side

  256. of the Jordan westward. And indeed, when Joshua sent them

  257. away to their tents, he blessed them and spoke to them, saying,

  258. return with much riches to your tents, with very much livestock,

  259. with silver, with gold, with bronze, with iron, and with

  260. very much clothing. Divide the spoil of your enemies with

  261. your brethren. So the children of Reuben, the children of Gad,

  262. and the half tribe of Manassa returned and departed from

  263. the children of Israel at Shiloh, which is in the

  264. land of Canaan, to go to the country of Gilead,

  265. to the land of their possession, which they had obtained

  266. according to the word of the Lord by the hand

  267. of Moses. And when they came to the region of

  268. the Jordan, which is in the land of Canaan, the

  269. children of Reuben, the children of God, and the half

  270. tribe of Manassa, built an altar there by the Jordan,

  271. a great impressive altar. Now the children of Israel heard

  272. someone say, behold, the children of Reuben, the children of God,

  273. and the half tribe of Manassa, have built an altar

  274. on the frontier of the land of Canaan, in the

  275. region of the Jordan on the Children of Israel's side,

  276. And when the children of Israel heard of it, the

  277. whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered together at

  278. Shiloh to go to war against them. Then the children

  279. of Israel sent Phineas, the son of Eliezar, the Priest,

  280. to the children of Reuben, to the Children of God,

  281. and the half tribe of Manassa into the land of Gilead,

  282. and with him ten rulers, one ruler each from the

  283. chief house of every tribe of Israel, and each one

  284. was the head of the house of his father among

  285. the divisions of Israel. Then they came to the children

  286. of Reuben, the children of God, and the half tribe

  287. of Manassa, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke

  288. with them, saying, that says the whole congregation of the Lord,

  289. what treachery is this that you have committed against the

  290. God of Israel, to turn away this day from following

  291. the Lord in that you have built for yourselves and altar,

  292. that you might rebel this day against the Lord? Is

  293. the equity of pay or not enough for us? From

  294. which we are not cleansed till this day? Although there

  295. was a plague in the congregation of the Lord. But

  296. that you must turn away this day from following the Lord.

  297. And it shall be if you rebel today against the Lord,

  298. that tomorrow he will be angry with the whole congregation

  299. of Israel. Nevertheless, if the Lord of your possession is unclean,

  300. then land, sorry, land of your possession is un clean,

  301. Then cross over to the land of the possession of

  302. the Lord, where the Lord's tabernacle stands, and take possession

  303. among us. But do not rebel against the Lord, nor

  304. rebel against us by building ourselves an altar besides the

  305. altar of the Lord our God. Did not a coon,

  306. the son of Zarah, commit a trespass in the accursed thing,

  307. and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel, And

  308. that man did not perish alone in his iniquity. Then

  309. the children of Reuben, the children of God, and the

  310. half tribe of Manassa answered and said to the heads

  311. of the divisions of Israel, the Lord, God of God's,

  312. the Lord, God of God's, he knows, And let Israel

  313. itself know if it is in rebellion, or if in

  314. treachery against the Lord, do not save us This day,

  315. if we have bailt ourselves an altar to turn from

  316. following the Lord, or if to offer on it burnt

  317. offerings or brains, or if to offer peace offerings on it,

  318. let the Lord himself require an account. But in fact

  319. we have done it for fear, for a reason saying,

  320. in time to come, your descendants may speak to our

  321. descendants saying, what have you to do with the Lord

  322. God of Israel. For the Lord has made the Jordan

  323. a border between you and us, You children of Reuben,

  324. children of God, you have no part in the Lord.

  325. So your descendants would make our descendants cease fearing the Lord.

  326. Therefore we said, let us now prepare to build ourselves

  327. an altar, not for burnt offering nor for sacrifice, but

  328. that it may be a witness between you and us

  329. and our generations after us, that we may perform the

  330. service of the Lord before him, with our burnt offerings,

  331. with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings, that your

  332. descendants may not say to our descendants in the time

  333. to come, you have no heart in the Lord. Therefore

  334. we said that it will be when you say this

  335. to us or to our generations to come in time

  336. to come, that we may say, here is the replica

  337. of the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made,

  338. though not for burnt offerings nor for sacrifice, but it

  339. is for a witness between you and us. Far be

  340. it from us that we should rebel against the Lord

  341. and turn from following the Lord this day, to build

  342. an altar for burnt offerings, for great offerings, or for sacrifices,

  343. besides the altar of the Lord, our God, which is

  344. before his tabernacle. Now, when Phineas the priest and the

  345. rulers in the congregation, the heads of the divisions of Israel,

  346. who were with them, heard the words that the children

  347. of Reuben, the children of Gad, and the children of

  348. Manassa spoke, it pleased them. Then Phineas the son of Eliezer,

  349. the priests said to the children of Reuben, the children

  350. of Goad, and the children of Manassa, this day we

  351. perceive that the Lord is among us, because you have

  352. not committed this treachery against the Lord. Now you have

  353. delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of

  354. the Lord. And Phineas the son of Eliezar, the priest

  355. and the rulers returned from the children of Reuben, the

  356. children of God, and from the land of Gilead to

  357. the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and

  358. brought back word to them. So the thing pleased the

  359. children of Israel, and the children of Israel blessed God.

  360. They spoke no more of going against them in battle

  361. to destroy the land where the children of Reuben and

  362. God dwelt. The children of Reuben and the children of

  363. God called the altar witness, for it is a witness

  364. between us that the Lord is God.

  365. How do you feel after that? What did you learn?

  366. Now?

  367. Me, I had some remembrancers triggered out of place and

  368. out of time. Riddle me what is it? Verse fourteen?

  369. Riddle for me verse fourteen again, Please.

  370. And with him ten rulers, one ruler each from the

  371. chief house of every tribe of Israel.

  372. Really, really, so there's only ten tribes? I ask you

  373. a question, Is there only ten tribes? No? Well, we

  374. sure fire know that Israel is called the ten Lost Tribes? Right, Yes,

  375. this is way before that event. But there is no

  376. denying what was just said. Because Reuben was a tribe,

  377. yes it was, and so was Dad. Why did God

  378. say this, So all of you should know right now

  379. that what God said here it echoed through time and

  380. reverberated until the fullness of time. Amen, when ten of

  381. the tribes would be ripped out of the King's hand. Amen.

  382. And that's just to begin with. I mean, we should

  383. study this right here. I mean you should begin to

  384. study right here. You really should, because there's no denying

  385. what God just said. He did just say there were

  386. ten tribes, Yes he did. Now we can choose to

  387. read it in whatever version you want. I really don't care.

  388. I know what it says. So this has everything to

  389. do about with will. I mean, even down to the

  390. part where everybody should have expected it coming, that somebody

  391. was going to say where the tabernacle was? That had

  392. to be said, riddle for me Verse nineteen. Jennifer.

  393. Sorry, I'm getting to the age where I can't see

  394. if my glasses are on or if my glasses are off.

  395. Join the club, Okay.

  396. Nevertheless, if the land of your possession is unclean, then

  397. cross over the land of the possession of the Lord,

  398. where the Lord's tabernacle stands, and take possession among us.

  399. But do not rebel against the Lord, nor rebel against

  400. us by building yourself an altar besides the altar of

  401. the Lord our God.

  402. So now God's possession is only where his tabernacle live. Really,

  403. you better wake up and get a clue. Everything you

  404. can see that's God's possession. But for some reason the

  405. master race wanted to think that God's possession was only

  406. where they were. No, it ain't, No, it ain't. There's

  407. two things in existence, yes, two, there's just two things

  408. in existence. That's heaven and earth. That's it. That's only

  409. two things in existence. You need to know those are

  410. two different dimensions. There's heaven and then there's creation. So

  411. the Bible caused creation earth or that which is firm

  412. and boy, so much we could get into right now.

  413. You need to realize that. Prophetically, if you're reading Second

  414. Thessalonians chapter two and you don't know anything about this,

  415. you really don't know anything. That's why here the latest heresing,

  416. the latest rejectionism by these people who rejected the Bible

  417. being God's word. They have here over the past several years,

  418. been saying that apostasy actually means the rapture. It up,

  419. look it up. I'm not joking. I know, I know

  420. that is, well, that's a farce. But I'm telling you

  421. the truth. This has been going around, I don't know

  422. for a couple of years now that the apostasy actually

  423. means rapture. So major things going on here, major things

  424. going on that prophetically, you should know that God is

  425. absolutely planning on delivering everybody who's not a part of

  426. this institution. That there was coming a day where it

  427. didn't matter who, what, where, when, why would not matter.

  428. There was coming a time it didn't matter who you were.

  429. You didn't have to be a part of the master race,

  430. didn't matter what you were doing. You were allowed to

  431. be a tent maker or a fisherman. It didn't matter

  432. where you were at. You didn't have to be in

  433. the you know, the establishment, didn't matter how old you were.

  434. That is to say, when you didn't have to get

  435. to be some age before you could be a part

  436. of the King of God. And why would be irrelevant

  437. as well, because they will never know why. Don't never

  438. know why, And he's expecting you to know this for certain.

  439. Of course, jose and I have already given great discourse

  440. about this. It's called Slaughter of the Shepherds and the

  441. Synagogue of Antichrist. Jerome described it. That was Jerome perfect.

  442. I never said he was, but he had one thing right.

  443. He warned the children of God that there was a

  444. synagogue of Antichrist coming. By all means, look it up.

  445. This is perfectly describing the situation that Israel was going

  446. to find itself. And because we Christians are Israel. Where

  447. Israel now, Sir Romans nine, Romans ten, and Romans eleven,

  448. we are Israel. We're the children of the Promise, and

  449. we're right where Reuben was, Gad was. And the half tribe, well,

  450. let me say that the half half of the half

  451. tribe of Nassa, because Manassa was on both sides of

  452. the Jordan. Anyway, that's besides the point. So if you

  453. didn't know all about this, he really couldn't understand the

  454. circumstances that would arise in the times concerning the Great Apostasy.

  455. Because well, I almost say this really clean. I don't

  456. care if you got a doctor in theology or not,

  457. if you have not been born again. Okay, now in

  458. the Bible, God's totally word. That's not English. There Jesus

  459. says born again. Now in another place in the New Testament.

  460. The apostle used another term. He says reborn in Greek.

  461. But I'm here to tell you if you have not

  462. been born again or reborn, you're gonna burn. Just to

  463. make sure we're clear, make sure we're clean. The smoke

  464. of your torment will rise forever and ever. That's a fact.

  465. That's a fact that hasn't happened yet, but it is

  466. a fact regardless of time. So you need to know

  467. that you need to get born again. You may very

  468. well need to be reborn. One thing's for sure. A

  469. child of the Promise is born of the spirit. And

  470. if the spirit does it move in you, it's because

  471. you're a dead issue. You could no more understand God's

  472. word than the donkey could. You have no way to

  473. comprehend the spirit language. You could not barken to his voice.

  474. He's quite simply not speaking your language. So this describes, wow,

  475. the perfect sets of events that's going to happen in

  476. the Great Apostasy. And I use the language that I

  477. used because this isn't my first rodeo. That's why I

  478. used the term in the beginning institution. That's why I

  479. used it. And you need to know that there's going

  480. to be a group that's been cast out of that institution.

  481. Do you need to know that? So I wonder how

  482. this trip tribe of Manassa philt because this was very clear.

  483. Now Ruben was a tribe and Goad was a tribe. However,

  484. the text cleanly says, and the text is quoting what

  485. God said, plainly said that ten of the leaders from

  486. every tribe. So you do realize here the head of

  487. the half tribe of Manassa was present and accounted for.

  488. You didn't catch that because the half tribe of Nasa

  489. was on both sides of the Jordan. So actually one

  490. of these tan tin heads was exercising dominion over this

  491. half tribe of Nassa. So you have the head of

  492. a tribe coming against part of their tribe. You didn't

  493. catch that. You didn't catch that, did you.

  494. So you're talking about the heads as if they're that

  495. they're not the men there, they're there angels.

  496. I didn't say that.

  497. Well, I'm thinking that way.

  498. Why are you thinking that way?

  499. Because if it's prophetic and you're talking about the heads

  500. in revelation, are we talking about the men? There's a

  501. man that's going to come against.

  502. I thought had okay, okay, okay, slow down, okay, slow down.

  503. Dad is one tribe and Reuben is one tribe. Right,

  504. that's why only ten heads came the head who was

  505. over this half tribe of Manassa that was on the

  506. wrong side of the Jordan. It came against its own tribe. Right,

  507. So let's just ask that who would have been the

  508. head of the half tribe of Manassa, because there's own

  509. only twelve heads. There's only twelve heads, So which head

  510. wouldn't have been over to half tribal Nassa?

  511. Jennifer, I'm not sure, and I don't want to say wrongly.

  512. You've spoken wisely, because it wouldn't have been wise to

  513. get it wrong. But now that I've brought it to

  514. your attention, now it's a thorn in your flesh, isn't it?

  515. You realize that Why didn't I see any of this?

  516. Why did no one tell you this before? Why is that?

  517. Why is that that I and my children and family

  518. church certainly discussed this chapter. They certainly know about it,

  519. and in future times they had to figure out in

  520. the Wait a minute, there's only twelve heads of the

  521. tribes of Israel, so who technically was over the half

  522. tribe of Manassa, who was coming against this half tribe

  523. that well, like I said, it was split on both

  524. sides of the Jordan, So the good guys of the

  525. tribe of Manassa was coming against the bad guys of

  526. the tribe of Manassa on the other side of the river.

  527. It's important, right you would consider this important? Is definitely,

  528. definitely Once again, you have spoken wisely, because God don't

  529. waste his breath, and he's absolutely inserting in here that

  530. this was going to happen concerning a great apostasy. I mean,

  531. this is the first time it choosed in the Bible. Both.

  532. What was your original question? I love doing this when

  533. I'm in a classroom. So, Jennifer, what was your original question?

  534. I'm not even sure if it's relevant. My original thing

  535. that I had picked up on was the way Phineasa

  536. had said that they were going to bring judgment on

  537. everybody through their action. Was what I had originally picked

  538. up on.

  539. That's right, and that's a very good thing for it.

  540. Why is he admitting that, and not only that he

  541. gives example to it? What's the example.

  542. He used?

  543. The example?

  544. I don't remember as the time I had the.

  545. Starts with a z Zira and Akon and what happened.

  546. Ekon, son of Zorra commit a trespass and the accursed

  547. thing and wrath fell on the congregation of Israel? And

  548. what was And okay, I have slight I didn't look

  549. it up, but I thought that was the guy that

  550. earlier on had taken the stuff that he was not

  551. supposed to take. Is that wrong?

  552. You mean the possessions? Yes? Is that phraseology used in

  553. this Did you hear that word at all? Anything about possessions?

  554. A cursed thing was what I had correlated it with.

  555. But yeah, like I said, I could be wrong because

  556. I hadn't looked back to see where that went.

  557. Anybody want to answer that question I just gave. Is

  558. that term possession used anywhere else in this chapter? Is

  559. it ever here in this chapter? Te four seven nine nineteen, Hello, somebody?

  560. It says unfaithfully did not I'm reading out of the NEESB.

  561. For some reason, I still use it anyway. Is said,

  562. did not Akon the son of Zarah act unfaithfully in

  563. the things under the ban? And rath fell on all

  564. the congregation of Israel? And that man did not perish

  565. alone in his iniquity.

  566. That's right, he did not perish. Absolutely correct, he did

  567. not perish alone in his iniquity. But like I said,

  568. possession is used here in verse four, seven, nine, and nineteen.

  569. But yes, the sin in question was about taking possessions.

  570. So obviously we would need to familiarize ourselves with what happened,

  571. because nobody seems to remember what happened. So where is

  572. that found now? And I remember where that happened? With

  573. this go ahead, I.

  574. Thought it was earlier in Joshua. I thought it was

  575. after they went through Ai. And then is this wrong

  576. or right? And then they went onto another town after that,

  577. and they were told flatly, I thought not to collect

  578. anything or keep anything. And then I thought, man did

  579. and he buried it. If I'm remembering correctly.

  580. And A can answer Joshua and said, indeed, indeed, I

  581. have sinned against the Lord God of Israel. And this

  582. is what I have done. When I saw among the

  583. spoils of beautiful Babulonian garment, two hundred shekels of silver

  584. and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted

  585. them and took them, and there they are kidden in

  586. the earth in the midst of my I could say tabernacle,

  587. but this version says hint with the silver under it. Well,

  588. I could start preaching right here. I can see all

  589. the way to Beulah Land from here. I mean, I

  590. can see, oh the way to the Kingdom of Heaven

  591. from just right here. Now, many of you might not

  592. be over be able to do that. I mean, we

  593. could just start right here and I could go straight

  594. to I can just I could tell you all about

  595. the Kingdom of heavens from right here. Now, take note

  596. that what is also mentioned here, because if we go

  597. back to Joshua twenty two, he also mentions, puore, does

  598. anybody remember what happened there first? The same thing?

  599. No, that was in the exodus in the wilderness. It

  600. was also my other translation, says fag Or with PhD R.

  601. So yes. So we agree that God is giving us

  602. a list of details surrounding Joshua twenty two and this apostasy,

  603. and he's expecting you to do an absolute study of

  604. those events before you ever come here. If you come here,

  605. you have no idea, no idea what is to come.

  606. What he's saying here's you have to take these list

  607. of events that he mentions. You must study and digest

  608. those first. Then you're ready for what's to come. Because

  609. Joshua twenty two is what's to come. So this is

  610. the first thing you need to do with the Bible.

  611. And the Bible is God's holy Word. Do you need

  612. to understand that? And he gives you examples, You're supposed

  613. to stop what you're doing, go study all those examples

  614. because you cannot understand what you're reading unless you know

  615. and let me make sure I make myself clear. Unless

  616. you know, you know those events to the point where

  617. those events will cause remembrancers to be triggered when you

  618. read something else. Because when you read josh For twenty two,

  619. that is what is to come from those events. So

  620. God is triangulating for you a moment in time that

  621. lies in the future. Now, if you didn't know that

  622. everything you know about the Bible you can divide by

  623. one third, you actually only know one third what you

  624. think you know, because incorporated into the Hebrew and Greek

  625. of these examples he's giving you is what is required

  626. to understand what is to come, which is Joshua chapter

  627. twenty two. So if you don't know everything about what

  628. happened with this key or episode or you know Fhag

  629. or you know whatever. The English remember, the English translation

  630. is going to use three or four different things, okay,

  631. or what happened with Aiken? If you don't know everything

  632. about those events, you cannot possibly understand Joshua chapter twenty two.

  633. Joshua chapter twenty two is what is to come from

  634. those events? What I like to do when I'm in

  635. a classroom, if I had a whiteboard or a chopboard,

  636. is I write these events down. I'll write them in

  637. different places, and then I will draw a line in

  638. the middle to Joshua chapter twenty two. And it's usually

  639. of how I usually start the class cluss, I what

  640. is that? Well, we're going to talk about something that

  641. you can't possibly understand today, because I'm going to ask

  642. you who's aching. Usually they all scratch their head like

  643. I have no idea. They don't even have a remembrance

  644. or triggered of what it could be until you read

  645. for them Joshua twenty two, and then memories start surfacing.

  646. But before you read Joshua twenty two, they won't even

  647. know what these these names are so well always. They

  648. can't do that today because the top of the hours

  649. time for us to quit. But of course, this being

  650. a fellowship, we can't quit at the top of the hour.

  651. I obviously has to ask if there's anything else anybody

  652. wants to talk about, So anybody and everybody, is there

  653. anything else anybody wants to talk about before we close tonight? No, Tammy,

  654. why don't you come on and tell us your thoughts?

  655. Did you learn anything separate from this private chat that

  656. you guys had going on that was seventy seventy texts long.

  657. Did you find out anything different? Did you learn anything?

  658. Well, I learned I have a lot more studying to do.

  659. That's what I learned, man.

  660. Amen. And we never even got to readd Slonian chapter.

  661. Now as brings up more questions and where you dig

  662. in and where you want to.

  663. Dig you know what? It creates an insatiable hunger within me, Amen,

  664. I mean it does, Amen. I will get up at five,

  665. ladies and gentlemen, no one understand this. This is the truth.

  666. I get up at five o'clock every day and I

  667. don't have to be to work till seven. The first

  668. thing in the morning, I jump in the shower and

  669. get dressed. I got a habit as of I'll tell

  670. you what had me today, obayed me for three days.

  671. Let me wittle you. Do you know here we put it? Well,

  672. we put it to your thought, like you do not know?

  673. Have you not heard? Where is the tiberback of David? Propheside? Oh, Taman,

  674. what am I talking about?

  675. The tarenacle of David? Is where the tenth was when

  676. he fellowship with the Lord before they built the temple.

  677. Isn't that.

  678. The one in the wilderness?

  679. Well, I will say this. We need to tell everybody

  680. what we're talking about. Amous chapter nine, verse eleven. On

  681. that day will raise up the Tabernacle of David, which

  682. has fallen down. I will prepare it to damages. I

  683. will raise up its ruins and rebuild it as in

  684. the days of old. This is quoted, of course, in

  685. Acts chapter fifteen, verse six. It's also mentioned in Isaiah

  686. chapter sixteen, verse five. Where is this all prophesied? Do

  687. you not know? Have you not heard Ritip propheside? You

  688. don't know? Yeah, so you don't know. If it's Isaiah,

  689. you don't know. If it's Jeremiah, you don't know where

  690. this is prophesied that this is gonna happen, because that

  691. prophecy tells you of where you're going to be during

  692. the tribulation, that that's where this it's a prophecy. I'll

  693. tell you what. I'll give you a hint. It's one

  694. of the Psalms, the idea of the Tabernacle of David.

  695. It's prophesied in the Psalms. And I just I hunger

  696. after it. And this is what God does to me

  697. all the time. I just go from hunger to hunger,

  698. to hunger to hunger. Who knows what He's going to

  699. get my attention today. I might be randomly reading a

  700. chapter in Matthew. It'll trigger a remembrancer, and I'll be

  701. searching for days. I'll just be digesting the word of

  702. the Lord Jesus Christ. I'll just be digested. I can't.

  703. I'll get up at five o'clock, ladies and gentlemen, I

  704. have an hour lunch. This is a fact. I have

  705. picked the closest part to my position to my place

  706. I work. I drave straight there and I eat, and

  707. that takes me exactly ten minutes to drive and to eat.

  708. At that time, I'm in my Bible studying for forty minutes.

  709. I have to stop at ten minutes too, because I

  710. have to get back and clock in back in time.

  711. When I get home. Ask my wife, she will be.

  712. Ask all of my children they were better hostimony to

  713. what I do. A hunger for his word. I know

  714. what is to come, and that's what I want to happen.

  715. I don't want to raise at work. I don't want

  716. a better job. I don't want to retire. I don't

  717. give a flying rip what I get from my birthday.

  718. What I want is what I know, what is coming,

  719. and it is and what is coming the Lord Jesus Christ.

  720. Everything else as far as I'm concerned, and burn it

  721. can burn. Give me Jesus everything else can burn. Now

  722. you can ask my children this. They will all they

  723. will want, and all testify that they have heard their

  724. daddy state this and proclaim this. The only reason why

  725. this is still here is because God hasn't given me

  726. the match. Ask them, they'll I'll tell you that let

  727. it before the Lord Jesus Christ. Let me cling to

  728. the Him of his garment and let it burn. You

  729. can offer me gold. I'll tell you to take a

  730. flying leap. You can offer me silver, or you can

  731. offer me the most precious Babylonian garment, and I will

  732. laugh at you. I will tell I'll look you right

  733. now and I'll tell you give me Christ the key.

  734. My whole family can testify to this. That's a fact.

  735. All my sib everybody, my siblings, everybody can testify. If

  736. you would but study God's word and read it like

  737. it is reference material, it would create a hunger in you,

  738. and you would be just like me. You'd be just

  739. like Tammy. You gotta know, you gotta know you can't

  740. help yourself. You have to know it'll drive you nuts.

  741. I mean, this is obviously what happened with Jennifer. She's

  742. just randomly reading First Thessalonians, chapter two. She randomly stumbles

  743. across this word in Greek, and she's like, well, I

  744. wonder what that is, and she couldn't put it down.

  745. She had to know, how do I get to that?

  746. How do I figure out? How do I search the

  747. Hellenica for this next thing? You know? The first instance

  748. she finds is Joshua, chapter twenty two, and she can't

  749. keep it inside. She has to build it over into

  750. this private chat that the girls were having and turned

  751. it went from one message to seventy. And now you

  752. know why. This is why the institution are rejectionist. Most

  753. of you can very easily do this. You can compare

  754. your denomination with the Bible and you're like, wait a minute,

  755. why is it in our church bylaws? We're violating God's

  756. word on multiple occasions. Because you don't know their rejectionists.

  757. The Bible is not their authority. Their institution is. And

  758. their institution says that the Church pronounces this to be

  759. true no matter what the Bible says about it, because

  760. they say that the Bible is falliable, that it failed

  761. over time. As time went on, truth moved forward and

  762. the Bible was left behind, and they shall receive their

  763. recompense in donne. I mean this is a matter of fact.

  764. The Lord just told me to stop. That was enough.

  765. You need to know that what happened to Jennifer and

  766. what happened to Tammy will happen to you if you

  767. desire it. If you want to get near to God,

  768. he will get near to you, and you need to

  769. be informed that how you.

  770. Do that.

  771. Is through His word. But if you have the entire

  772. clergy that has set up over you telling you that

  773. the Bible is not God's word, well, you're gonna wind

  774. up where you're at, and you're gonna stay there in

  775. the wilderness. And I'm here to tell you, no matter

  776. what I say, no matter what you say, no matter

  777. what the boat says, or whoever else you could make

  778. up in your mind, none of what comes out of

  779. those people's mouths matter. It's what's written in God's Holy

  780. Word that matters, because that's what you're going to be

  781. judged off of. And if you would just make a

  782. deep breath and just believe it for once, don't listen

  783. to their lives, if you would just try to accept

  784. in your mind that the Bible is God's reference material

  785. that he wrote for the children of the promise. If

  786. you convince yourself of that, you know, eventually, if you

  787. believe that, you'll have faith in that, because the Greek

  788. word's the same word. I'm sorry if I'm the first

  789. one to tell you that, but you need to know

  790. that they're in the Bible. The word for faith is

  791. the word for belief, and that is cured by teaching.

  792. But that's what the Lord Jesus Christ did. Let me

  793. ask again, does anybody else have anything they want to

  794. talk about before we go going once going nice for

  795. times a charm who's going to pray us out of here?

  796. I'll pray, thank you.

  797. Dear Father, thank you so much for tonight and all

  798. that we have learned and all we yet to learn.

  799. And pray.

  800. People get a hunger and there's for your word that

  801. they dig in for themselves, that they can see these

  802. things for themselves. Father, and I pray for especially for

  803. Matthew and his family. I just want to lift them

  804. up to you, Lord. We are so blessed and so

  805. grateful for Matthew's teaching, for him sharing the Gospel with us,

  806. for the way that you have raised him to do

  807. this work that you called him to do, and that

  808. he's faithful to continue to do despite all the arrows
