S2E32 Book of Asaph Pt 9

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 Maranatha Ministries

and now Redemption Draweth nine. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome

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

Tonight we are getting back to the Book of Asath.

We've taken several weeks off, but tonight we're going to

be doing chapter nine of the Book of Asath. That

is Psalm chapter eighty. It's a strange tale, to say

the least. And I think that I will just let

Jose recount our last episode. Jose, what what say you

about our last episode?

We did well, Matthew.

We unless it's something super important, we usually don't communicate

during the week. We've all got family going on, We've

got other things going on that that that you know,

take up a lot of our time, so we usually

don't don't communicate. We get together on Sundays. Usually we

communicate in the morning, Hey are you still good for today? Yep,

I'm ready. So then and then when it's comes down

to me, we get on and my the way my

computer has set up, Matthew, I have my the last

chapter we did. It's still it's still sitting there. You know,

it's kind of like a bookmark for me, so I

know what chapter we're going to go to next.

I don't move it.

That way because, you know, if just with so much

so many days between our shows, sometimes you know, we

can get mixed up on all what we're going to

cover next.

So I like to leave that last one we did

up and ready.

That way, I can move on to the next one

when when we get together again. And so we had

just finished up Psalm seventy nine the week before, and

then we were going to get together, and I was,

I was ready to do Psalm eighty. But then when

you started the show and right away you jumped into

Psalm eighty one. Now, normally, you know, I would stop

you before we got going, and you know corrected you. Hey, Matthew,

we're supposed to cover in Psalm eighty and usually it's

just it's just my nine times out of ten, Matthew,

was just a mix up in you know, you say

Psalm eighty one, but you mean Psalm eighty. That that's

happened before, you know, just because we get so excited

about where we're talking about the slip of the tongue,

we say the wrong chapter. But as you started going

into it and started explaining Psalm eighty one, I just

I just had a pause. Something told me to be

quiet about it. Let's do Psalm eighty one, even though

I hadn't prepared a lot of notes on Psalm eighty one.

Let's cover Psalm eighty one, and then you know, we'll

address address the skipping of some after the show. So

that's what I did. I just moved out of sawm

eighty one. We did it, We had it. You know.

I think it was a good show, covering so lots

of important stuff. I mean, it was relevant stuff to

what was going on in your life and in your church, Matthew,

and so that was it was important for us to

cover that topic because it was fresh on your mind.

That That's what I felt as I heard you going

into the chapter. But of course, when I brought it

up to you after the show that we were supposed

to be doing Psalm eighty it came as a total

shock and surprise to you because you related to me

that you remembered already doing Psalm chapter eighty. And I

don't know if you want to get into the details

of that, Matthew, but that was I've never had that happen,

you know, where it were. I remember something that's already

having done something, it's already taken place. I've had a

feeling the dejah who feeling that this feels familiar. It

feels like I've done this before, but never you know,

a complete where it's in my memory Banker is already

haven't been done.

So that that was an odd occurrence. And I know that.

Shook you, Matthew trying to process what happened there last week.

So that's kind of how it happened. We're covering covering

Psalm eighty today instead of when we were supposed to,

which is which is fine with me. I mean, you know,

we're going to cover all the book of Asaft, so

it doesn't matter what order we do it in.

But that's kind of how we got to this to

this point right here.

Matthew.

Well, I was obviously shuck up because about twenty minutes

later I called you, right, yes, why don't you relate

to the listener what.

I said, Matthew?

You you explained that you had dreamt that we had

already done the show. So anothers you had a dream

and you already had You had all your notes laid

out for that chapter, and we reviewed it and we

discussed it, and it took place. So that's why it

was so so embedded into your memory bank as having

already been done, and so you were ready to move

on to Psalm eighty one. Now, I don't know what

God was trying to show you with that, Matthew.

I don't know why that would happen.

Why though, I mean, it's obviously that those notes were

so pressing on you and so important that they were

in there, Matthew, and you had you had to get

a pre run in before we jumped into Psalm eighty.

You had you had to go through it one time.

With the with the I can only say with the

Holy Spirit, because I maybe I was there in spirit

to Matthew, but I don't.

I don't.

I don't remember that taking place, right, But for sure

the Holy Spirit was there with you in that dream

going through Psalm eighty So you know, I still don't.

I don't have the words to describe what took place there.

Maybe only you can describe your feeling of that that

dream taking place and and actually put implanting a memory

of us already doing this chapter into your brain. But

that was that was a conversation we had, and that

shook me, Matthew, that shook me. That. Uh, you know,

my first comment to you was, well, God's given us

extra time to prepare for Psalm eighty for some reason.

So that's what we need to do.

But you know, it was it was a little pause,

a little Seila moment that God gave us to prepare

for Psalm eighty.

You know, you're you're missing a crucial point there. You're

just not relaying the crucial point as to why I

called you back, ladies and gentlemen. I I had taken

at least two hours. I was at least two hours,

if not three, out at my picnic table in the backyard.

I constructed a Google doc notes on Psalm eighty. Over

the course of my life, believe me, I have come.

I've compiled major notes on the Book of Asaf itself.

And unfortunately, in twenty seventeen, everybody knows that's associated with

this ministry. My office was out in the barn, and

the barn burnt down, so all those notes were gone forever.

So on my day off, the Wednesday before we were

going to do this show, I sat down and off

the memory reconstructed a Google doc. I kept tight lip

about this. After we signed off of the show and

stopped recording, and Jose confronted me about it. You know,

why did you skip PROW eighty? I was tight lifting.

I didn't say anything. No, no, I know we did

that show, but I didn't didn't elaborate on that. We

hung up. H I. I immediately went to my laptop.

I pulled up Google Docs. I couldn't find it. So

I did a search in Google Docs. No such document,

there is no you know, I tried everything A. I mean,

I know what I named it. I don't think I know,

I know, I know I named it ASAF. Chapter nine

wasn't that? Well, let's try Psalm eighty wasn't that? So

I shut the Microsoft machine and uh, and I got

my Chrome book, opened my Chromebook and confirmed that document

does not exist. It did not It did not exist.

So that's why I called Jose back. I'm like, look,

this is a This is gonna sound crazy, but so

it makes it very surreal. And makes me very very hesitant.

And I did not reconstruct those notes because I'm absolutely

depending on the Holy Spirit to limit what I say today.

The only thing that I can relate to you is

this is a bambastic chapter, and you better write that down.

This chapter is a series. This book is part of

more than one series of books. It's not just a

part of the Book of Asaf. It's just not that.

It's also a chapter in the Shoshanim series, right, Jose, Yes,

So this chapter is multi dimensional. That's That's a good

way for me to put it. It really is. And

it makes me take pause that. You know. Jose's right,

it's one thing to have, you know, deju vu, you

get a weird feeling, a man if we did this before. No,

I'm I dreamed putting the notes together, and I dreamed. Look,

I can even tell you what Jose talked about in

the show. So, so you know what, I'm just going

to pass it off to Jose and let him give

you know, usually I open up and I give my

overview of the chapter or whatever. We're all let Jose

give the overview first, and I think we'll just let

him lead the episode. How about that? I mean, I

think that's apropos that that he do that. So, Jose,

you got the he's got the ship.

Well, Matthew, I think some eighty is is very important.

Like you mentioned, it's part of the Shame series, and

we've discussed that. We've done a Shocia name show on

this chapter as well, and we've discussed in that what means.

Some translations use the word lilies, but in hebrewts the

words shome, and that's that's talking about those who are

to be changed.

And we know what that means prophetically, we know.

What there's different words that that that you know, Jesus

uses that the New Testament uses. But it's just changing

where where we're giving some people like to call our

say say resurrection body. Some people like to say, you know,

it's we're giving our hinds feet. Sometimes it's described in

the Bible. It's just changing us this, Matthew, where we

become made right so that we can be with the Lord,

because we understand that in this body, in this flesh,

it will not survive a direct encounter with the Lord,

our God, with God the Father, or with God the Son.

I mean, it's it's especially when he comes, when he returns.

Let me rephrase that we cannot withstand coming face to

face with God the Father, Matthew. That's why he sent

God the Son. But in order for us to become

that bride and become one with the Son, we have

to be changed. We have to be made straight, which

is the literal meaning of the word Israel.

And so when we.

As we read this chapter, Matthew, I think that is

beforefront in people's minds of what of what this is

talking about? Where this this should help us put this

chapter in the timeline. What is God talking about?

You know?

Is this before or the Great Day of the Lord?

Is this during the Great Day of the Lord? Is

this before the return of the Sun? Is this after

during the millennial reign?

Like?

Where are we on this timeline as you read through, Matthew. So,

so that's what that's why this chapter is so important

to me.

Anything you'd like to add before we start.

Reading, Yeah, I think I'm gonna add something very probably

to me. I was hoping you wouldn't talk about the

Shosha name series, Okay. I was hoping that I could

do that and you could talk about the difficult stuff.

But alas it has fallen to me, hasn't it. The

septuagint of this ladies and gentlemen is is is on

a different level. The ordering of the verse is the

words in the verse are different. Let me read it

to you from the Lexham English Subcuagin for the end

for what will be altered a testimony by Asaf a

psalm concerning a syria. I appreciate that translation. Let's let's

try the Thompson translation. It words it just a little

bit differently and relays just a little bit differently. For

the conclusion respecting them who are to be changed a testimony.

It's one problem with that word in Greek, the same

word for martyr. That's why the Thompson in the Elexum

English substitution is so different, because when you get your

mind into this verse and actually read it in Greek,

it's really disturbing. There is there is no doubt that

you need to know something before we cover these verses.

There are two separate groups mentioned in scripture. According to

this time, these verses ellude that there are those who

are asleep in Jesus. Write that down, those who sleep

in Jesus. That phraseology. It says the dead in Christ.

Write that down, the Dead in Christ. You will find

this these terms in the same chapters talking about the

same thing. You need to know that the signifies there

is a time to come. There's a coming time when

there's a cut off date, and during this time, if

you die, you will you will not be asleep in Jesus,

you will be dead in Christ. Write these things down.

The only group that spans this sort of time is

mentioned in the fifth Seal event. And they are told,

and not by God, not by he who setteth upon

the throne. They are told they must rest a little

while longer until the number of those who are to

be this Greek word testimony or martyr is completed, until

the number of martyrs or witnesses are completed. So you

need to understand this is important. And as you've never

heard this before, if you've never realized, look up in

the Greek I'm not I don't have time to do

a full discourse on the New Testament verses I told

you about. You need to look it up. It's asleep

in Jesus. And then it says the dead in Christ.

Two completely separate groups. And if nobody's ever pointed that

out to you, you, well, you have a lot of

catching up to do. It tells me that you haven't

saturated yourself with God's word. And that's really all that

I can say about is you have not saturated yourself

with God's word. In this chapter we have we have

some you know. The very first verse is bambastic. I mean,

who are you to tell God anything? Anything? Who are

you to tell God anything? But yet let me ride

to you the first well, the second verse here from

the Lexum English Subtusian. Oh you, who shepherd is, will

pay attention now, ladies and gentlemen. My mother taught me

those words would get you struck by lightning. Let me finish,

Oh you, who shepherd is, re pay attention. You who

leads Joseph like sheep, the one seated upon Chabubum, manifest yourself. Now,

who on earth would dare make such a proclamation. It's

it's disturbing, but you need to understand that here encoded

in this chapter makes another series of chapters. It's to

cause the face to shine in Hebrew. I've said enough,

jose Back to you, all.

Right, Matthew, boy, what you just said just brought up

a lot of things in my head right now, we

should probably jump in and start reading this. Matthew, So

would you like to read or would you want me

to read this? Start reading for.

Us who read last time? You know what, that doesn't matter. Yes,

I can read. You're the one leading the show. So

what on't I read first? Let me jump over there

in the paper Bible. I mean, I know what it says.

I really don't have to read it. But you know,

sometimes you just have to fear the Lord and push forward,

all right. Psalm At from the New King James version,

Prayer for Israel's restoration to the chief musician, set to

the lilies, a testimony of a song. Give ear, o

Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock,

You who dwell between the Charibim, shine forth before Afraim,

Benjamin and Manassah. Stew up your strength and come save us.

Restore us, O God, Cause your face to shine, and

we shall be saved. O, Lord, God of Host, How

long will you be angry against the prayer of your people.

You have fed them with the bread of tears and

given them tears to drink. In great measure. You have

made us a strike our neighbors and our enemies laugh

among themselves. Restore us, God of Host, cause your face

to shine, and we shall be saved. I think I'll

stop right there.

Well, Matthew, when as you're reading that, Matthew, I can't

help but hear the Fifth Seal, and with the martyrs

there say under the altar, it's it's almost that same language.

They cry out of the Lord.

And when I when I first read the Fifth Seal, Matthew,

I was like, I don't care if you're in heaven,

what are you doing talking to God like that? You know,

that's exact same feeling. And I get from these verses here.

So that's that's the starting point, right But I can't

help here, Matthew, that right away God starts talking about Joseph,

f Fraim, Benjamin, and Manassa. First of all, Joseph was

essentially king in Egypt. He was the shepherd of Israel

in Egypt. He's the one that fed them when the

brothers came. He's the one that eventually brought his whole

family to Egypt, to Ghoshen and sheltered them and shepherded

shepherded them there. But the other part of this story, Matthew,

is is the book of Exodus where there arises a

king that did not know Joseph, and.

He was worried about.

The increase of the children of Israel, how fast they

were multiplying in increasing. And we know that's what joseph

name means, Matthew, right, to add, to increase. So here

I see God talking about the flock, his flock, his

sheep increasing in size and causing the king of Egypt,

the Pharaoh, to be bothered by this and to increase

the toils of Egypt, toils of the children of Israel,

right to add burdens to them. And Matthew, what happens

in that first book of Exodus when he starts doing

this immediately after that, at the end of that chapter,

you get the slaughter of the innocence, Matthew, you get

Pharaoh going after the male children of Israel. So if

you can read that book of Exodus prophetically, Matthew, that

tells you everything that God's talking about here. But the

other thing that I get, Matthew, specifically, Benjamin is the

only one in this list that's not a son of Joseph. Right,

He's the son of Rachel, and it was his birth

that caused the death of Rachel. His birth that caused

Rachel's tribulation, and of course led us to that prophetic

verse about.

Ephratah.

Right, Yes, and I'm going to I'm going to I'm

going to read that well.

I mean, the only thing I want to add, Matthew

with in regards to Benjamin and Rachel's death is that

when you go to that chapter Genesis thirty five, immediately

after those events, Matthew, you get Reuben trying to increase

his birthright by laying with his father's essentially wife. Right.

Yes, the handmaiden of.

Of of Rachel, if I'm not mistaken, right, was Bill

Haw Rachel's handmaiden?

Oy? Oh boy, well let me add to that. Can

I add to that? Yes, because I see well, I

see what you see, Okay, but but I see it

in a different light. Let me read it before Ephraim

Benjamin Manassa. Okay, he already said, Joseph, this is a

tribe in to itself, Yes it is. This is the

tribe of Rachel. Yes it is. Let let me say

that again. There's two tribes. There's Rachel and her children,

all of which is in this list. Okay, Any child

of Joseph is from the tribe of Rachel, and any

child of Rachel is of the tribe of Rachel. Don't

you get it. Any child of Benjamin is also of

the tribe of Rachel, and you need to know that. Well,

that's what's really being stated here. This is all about Rachel.

And when you know about Rachel and her children Jeremiah

chapter thirty one, verse fifteen. In Matthew two, verse eighteen,

is in is stapable. It's instapable. Thus says the Lord,

a voice was heard in rama lamentation and better weeping.

Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted for

her children because they are no more So, who's the

first one to go to Egypt? Rachel's children? Who ascended

to be over the Egyptian Rachel's children? As such, all

the children of Israel had over them as their head. Joseph, right, Yes,

this is a very perfect way of telling you. You're

going to go back to the beginning. You're going to

go back to well, jose stunt said at once, what

is Exodus chapter one all about? How does it start?

Slaughter the innocence? That's how the exodus starts. That's how

this shed dig starts. That's how it starts. This is

what provokes God to get involved, right, Jose, Yes, I

mean that's common knowledge, so he is in more. It's

in one way trying to point that out to you

that well we've already said this. How many scripture references

can we get, Jose, that God says there's going to

be a second exodus?

It's too many counts from it.

It's too many to counts. Yes, And yet how many

churches in Western Christianity freach that, I'll tell you none.

Catholics don't preach it, Presbyterians don't preach it, Lutherans don't

preach it. Why do you think that is? And you know,

it disturbs me. It really does disturb me that there's

too many cross references for us to talk about or

really number. And yet I don't know, I just don't

get it. But everybody needs to have a heads up

about this, because one thing's for sure. Revelation chapter eleven, okay,

verse eight. So this it's right before the coronation of Christ.

This is what happens. And their dead bodies lie in

the street in the great city, which is spiritually called Sodom,

and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Now, in

using these specific words, he's absolutely telling you this is

a global event because Egypt ain't got nothing to do

with Sodom, and that sure ain't got nothing to do

with where Jesus was crucified.

Right, Ose, correct, Matthew.

So he's specifically telling you Earth will become a prison

planet and we will be enslaved globally. That's what he's

getting ready to get at. So I would expect after

reading this first part, I would expect I'm going to

hear something about Egypt. That's what I would expect. But

also this phrase, this caused the light, you know, to

cause the face to shine in Hebrew. He'll take note.

He said it more than once. Right, take No, where

does this phrase come from? And Hebrew? Why is this

being stated? It's extremely important that everybody knows this comes

from the priestly prayer. Yes it does. I'll read it

to you. And the Lord spoke to Moses saying, speak

to Aaron and his son, saying, this is the way

you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them,

the Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make

his face to shine upon you. And be gracious to you.

The Lord lift up his contenance upon you and give

you peace. So they shall put my name on the

children of Israel, and I will bless them. That's where

this phrase comes from. This is probably the most important

blessing in Bible prophecy. It is right here in numbers,

chapter twenty five. It's verse all right, numbers chapter six,

verses twenty two through twenty seven. Before this phraseology comes from,

make the face to shine upon you. So this is

this message we're reading is quite specific to a specific group.

So shall I read on?

I say, yeah, absolutely all right.

Picking it up in verse eight, You have brought a

vine out of Egypt. You have passed out the nations

and planted it. You prepared room for it and call

it to take deep root, and filled it with land.

The hills were covered with its shadow, and the mighty

cedars with its bowels. She sets out her bowels to

the sea, and her branches to the river. Why have

you broken down her hedges so that all who pass

by the way pluck her fruit. The boar out of

the woods up roots it, and the wild beast of

the field devours it. Return We beseech you Oh God Host,

look down from heaven and sea, and visit this vine

and the vineyard which your right hand has planted, and

the branch that you made strong for yourself. It is

burned with fire. It is cut down. They barras at

the rebuke of your confidence. Let your right hand be

upon the man of your right hand, upon the son

of man, whom you make strong for yourself. Then we

will not turn back from you. Revive us, and we

will call upon your name. Restore us, Oh Lord, God

of Host, cause your face to shine, and we shall

be saved.

Jose your comments, So, Matthew, as you're reading that, this

is what I'm hearing from Daniel chapter eleven, and I'm

going to verse forty. At the time of the end,

the king of the South shall attack him, and the

King of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind,

with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships, and he shall

enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through. He shall

also enter the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown,

but these shall escape from his hand, eatom Moeb and

the prominent people of Amen. He shall stretch out his

hand against the countries the land of Egypt shall not

escape this. I mean, Matthew, to me, what's being described

here is just is talking about that Assyrian, that false prophet,

that false shepherd, breaking down those hedges and doing what

he described in Daniel chapter eleven. And we're told that

he he puts his tent of the tents of his

palace between the sea and the glorious Holy Mountain.

That's what we're told in Daniel chapter eleven.

So you know, this is this is all these events

that are taking place, Matthew. This is what causes the

you know, the that that tribe you're talking about, the

tribe of Rachel. This is, this is, this is what

causes them to cry out to their God and and

to ask to be saved, ask to be restored. That

this is where that that prayer is coming from, Matthew.

That's that's what I'm seeing here. We know Joseph his

ties to Egypt.

We know.

Verse chapter verse eight here describes that vine out of Egypt,

and we know what that means prophetically, like you described

for us, Matthew.

So this is all this is all falling in.

Line, Matthew, with with where I expected to on the timeline.

Yes, it's it's falling exactly where I would expect to

see it on the timeline, and there is no doubt

this is taking place. This has definitely taking place in

the birth pains, and that usually takes people by suppress.

What starts the tribulation. You need to understand when the

Lord your God responds to some chapter eighty, that's what

starts it. It's the Great Day of the Lord, That's

what starts it. It is amazing to me how most

people do not realize that. They don't understand it. They

think that the first four seals, the fifth seal, they

think all those are in the tribulation. No they're not.

It's the events of the birth pains that causes this

prayer to be prayed. You need to know that, and

you need to know what happens. We've talked about this

several times over the past, oh, I don't know a

couple of months. Now. You need to understand this. In

the Greek, you need to understand what Revelation chapter seven

starting there in about verse nine, you need to underst

what it says, working up to I think it's verse fifteen.

The Greek says that God will tabernacle over you. How

is this different than eternity it says in those chapters

after this, after the Battle of Gog and Magog, when

God comes down, it uses a different word of Greek.

It uses the word meta, not epi get a pencil

or get something to write with and something to write on.

In Revelation chapter seven, it says that he will tabernacle

over Epi over you. At the end of Revelation, after

the Battle of Armageddon, when God comes down, it says

he will tabernacle mecca in Greek, he will tabernacle with us.

So this event that saw Mate is talking about is

kind of like what happened with what you call the

Bethlehem Star, as that star was at a right angle

to the horizon. Okay, it was directly standing over the

manger that baby Jesus occupied. The Magi followed the Bethlehem

Star using celestial navigation. That's how all air and nautical

almanacs are set up. Ladies and gentlemen. I'm just telling

you the truth. I'm not lying to you. You can

know where you're aut on the globe by being able

to look directly above you and determine what star is

directly over your position. When you know that, you know

your relative position on the earth. So literally what's being

described here is a Bethlehem star. God is not saying

he's going to tabernacle with you. He's going to tabernacle

over you, and his face is going to shine down.

And he's very clear. How many times has he called

this place his vineyard? Jose Well, I.

Can't get that.

It's a prophatically every other chapter in the Bible, Matthew.

He also calls this place the place of where his

sheep are its pasture, right, But he's using phraseology here

that make no mistakes. This is prophetically saying that this

time is going to end, and when the new time begins,

God's face will shine on you. God will tambernackle over

you for this time. I mean, did anybody catch how

many times he said that may he cause his face

to shine upon you just in this one chapter? Did

anybody catch how many times it was there? You know,

you need to stop and take a look and try

to realize that God is doing some very magnificent things here.

Take notes. We got something else I want to share.

This is also this phraseology is also in psomone nineteen.

Everybody knows that to be the longest chapter in the Bible.

It is this phrase here comes up in one thirty five. Now,

the thing with that is you need to understand that.

The thing with this is is that nobody realizes that

or they don't teach it. A whole lot of the

time that someone nineteen is set up in packs of

eight verses because these stanzas are structured off of the

Hebrew alphabet. Okay, so you need to know that this

stands that this is in it's for that Hebrew letter. Hey,

you need to understand that. So these eight verses say this.

Your testimonies are wonderful. Therefore my soul keeps them. The

entrance of your words give light. It gives understanding to

the simple. I opened my mouth and panted for I

longed for your mans. Look upon me, and be merciful

to me, as your custom is toward those who love

your name. Direct my step by your word, and let

no iniquity have dominion over me. Redeem me from the

oppression of man, that I may keep your precepts. Make

your face shine upon your servant, and teach me your statutes.

Rivers of water run down from my eyes because men

do not keep your law. You know, there's a really

interesting thing about this letter, this Hebrew letter Pay. It

is important because well, in the Hebrew text, ladies and gentlemen,

you need to realize that, well, in some Hebrew manuscripts

there's what's called a double hey because the pay is

basically a circle and upon it is a circle upon itself,

but in some Hebrew manuscripts it's doubled. It is a

double circle, so it is called the pay kufflo. It's

a double pay. It creates like a earlyque. When you

look at it, it looks like it's a spiral that

spirals around. So you need to understand that the versies

that I read are very pointed. They're they're very directive.

And for one take note, I need you to understand

this that verse one thirty six, there's going to be

a rebellion during this phase when God is well shining

down upon us. It said it in more than one

different ways. I'm sure that you caught that well verse

one thirty two. Look upon me and be merciful to me.

The same idea God looking directly at you, looking down

on this place he has prepared. I've already made mention

that he calls it several things. He calls it the

place prepared, he calls it his pactor, he calls it

his vineyard. These verses here for this chapter in Asaf

he uses vineyards.

That are your thoughts, well, Matthew, in regards to this

the face of God shining upon us, Matthew, we get

a similar picture when Moses got the Ten Commandments and

the tablets of stone from from God the first time around,

and we're told that God he couldn't show his face

to Moses, so he showed his back to Moses. But

we know that that, So how can I describe this, Matthew.

Obviously that that direct contact with God caused some physical

changes with Moses. But I think when you read about

in Exodus chapter thirty four, where it describes Moses's face,

we miss the first part of that chapter where it

describes God, Moses himself, having those those tablets of stone,

writing those commandments on those tablets, coming down, describing the

the the covenant that God has made with his people

if they uphold those commandments.

So to me, Matthew, I'm seeing the two part process.

Not only is it that interaction with God that's that

caused Moses to be changed. But it's Moses not only

writing those commandments on the on that stone, but writing

them on his heart. Matthew.

It's it's it's.

Not only a physical change, but it's a spiritual change,

because we're told that we're we're we're we're we're not

only body, we're not not only mine, but we're.

Also spirit, Matthew.

So you know that, I'm just realizing this right now

as you're as you were speaking, and I'm reading through

this chapter.

It's hitting me, h, the.

Total, the total change that happened in Moses when this happened.

So if you can imagine, Matthew, what's going to happen

when God himself shines his face upon us, What that's

going to do to our bodies, What that's gonna what

change that's going to enable in us? What that's gonna

actually establish that process of being able to write His

law on his on our hearts, that testimony on our hearts.

We're not going to have to read it for ourselves, Matthew,

on a Bible. We're not gonna have to ask somebody

else to be a shepherd for us and show us

what it means. It's gonna be embedded on in us.

That's what it means to be changed, Matthew. How we

started off this song, that changing process, that being prepared

to become the bride for the bridegroom. It's just that

I don't know how many people read this chapter and

actually realize what God's saying, Matthew, what what He's actually

gonna do. We we we hear a lot of this

stuff in church, you know, about our resurrection, body and

all this other stuff, and we have all these physical.

Changes in mind.

But boy, Matthew, this spiritual change might be light years

I've had of what happens to us physically, and that

that's blowing my mind right now.

Will Yeah. You know. He says this another way in

Revelation chapter twelve, the very last verse, he says, and

the dragon was enraged with the woman. Now take note

he doesn't make war on the woman, okay, And he

went off to make war with the rest of her offspring,

who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony

of Jesus Christ. So you would have to say something

has altered them these This is a combination effect. It's

those who keep the commandments in God and have the

testimony of Jesus Christ. So and of course we get

that in Revelation chapter seven. For this group is sealed

by God, everything stops, everything pauses as this angel says,

don't harm anything, don't do anything until we seal. These

are going to finish the number of the martyrs. Now

take note, I've already reminded everybody once that in Greek,

witness and martyr is the same root word. So you

have to realize that Revelation chapter twelve, verse seventeen is

saying a whole lot more than you realize, because here

it's that word for martyr. Let me read it again,

keep the commandments of God and have the martyrdom of

Jesus Christ. You can read it either way. So is

it witness or is it martyr? Of course the new

King James version, which is the way I would translate

it to just testimony. But you need to understand, you

need to realize where this came from. It came from

the Greek, and it's prophetically telling you that that's why

the dragon is not allowed to make war with a woman.

It just makes war with the rest of her children.

So anyway, wow, so much, so much, so much. We

could add, you know, really, Jose, this is a really

good primer. Right, it's a really good primer, That's what

I would say. I do want to ask you this.

Did you look at the alphanumerics in this chapter?

Ah? Yes I did, Matthew. There's quite a few in

this chapter. In chapter and verse one and in verse three,

I see the royal count of the twelve sixty. I'm sorry,

chapter verse one and verse thirteen right one. In thirteen, Yeah,

the royal count of twelve sixty. In verse thirteen, you

also have the thirteen thirty five, and then in verse

fifteen we have the nine sixty five, Matthew.

So what you're saying is we have the entire time

span here. Yes, yes, you have the entire time span.

You have, in fact, the twenty three hundred birth pains

and the twelve sixty tribulation. Yes, do you have the

entire time span here? So I cannot stress this chapter's

importance enough. This chapter describes what's really going to happen.

Now.

Most people take note that you basically have one of

two types of Christians nowadays. You have those Christians that

think they're never going to see the tribulation. They get

raptured out of here pre tribulation right right. The rest

of them don't believe there's a great tribulation. They don't

even believe there's a millennial and of Christ. They teach

that we're in the millennial rate of Christ right now

and the only thing that's going to happen is the

return of Christ. Whichever one you believe, you completely eradicated

this entire chapter, didn't you in those two paradigms, both

of them being incorrect. Everybody needs to know I've been

preaching this. You need to know the truth for the

first three hundred years the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ,

of which there was only one, There was only one

prophecy model. It was historic premillennialism. It predates all the heretics.

You need to know that the plane reading of the

scripture says this, there's going to be a tribulation and

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

That's the plain reading prophecy model. And literally nobody believes

that today. There's some isolated scholars that believe it, but

there is no denomination that believes that. You need to

know that, write this down. Historic pre millennialism. That's what

we are. We have an extended historic, pre millennial model.

We believe in what this just said. You get regathered

to a place where God will well, He will stand

over you and protect you for the duration of the tribulation.

That's what this just said. That's actually what it meant.

It meant that the Lord Jesus Christ is actually telling

the truth of Matthew, Chapter twenty four. That's why what

he said mimics mimics the first five seals, doesn't it? Jose, Yes,

it perfectly mimics the first five seals, doesn't it? He says, wars,

rumors of wars. Uh, there will be persecution, they'll lock

you up, YadA, YadA, YadA. Correct.

Correct.

Then the Book of Revelation after that states quite plainly

in chapter seven, after these martyrs are sealed so their

number can be completed, you are relocated and God tabernacles

over you. That is the extension Maranatha ministries applies to

the historic pre millennial model. It's the plain reading prophecy model.

It's what the Bible plainly says. Jose, Is that not

the truth?

Absolutely, Matthew?

Is that not what this chapter is describing? A future

time of persecution where the children of God cries out,

and all of a sudden he causes his face to

shine upon them and abernacles over them. That's that's what

it's saying. Yes, amen, that's what it always said. That's

what it always meant. Then, ladies and gentlemen, take doo.

That's why you've never heard Psalm eighty incorporated into a

Biblical eschatological stirman or Sunday school lesson. Now, I'm gonna

read this again just to make sure you understand how

this time ends. The time ends with the return of Christ. Yes,

it does. So, here's what happens. We go through the

birth paint and we cry out. God delivers us. He

tabernacles over us. He causes his face to shine down

upon us, at which point he will coordinate the Lord

Jesus Christ and send Christ back to execute judgment. Listen,

you'll hear it. They perish at the rebuke of your countinents.

Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand, Jose,

Riddle me this due the Cherubim, are they occupying God's

right hand? Matthew, No, they'd be obliterated. Do you understand me, Jose?

Amen.

The Book of Revelation is very clear that in the

midst of the Cherubim is the throne, and in the

midst of them should the lamb looking as if it

had been slain. Amen. Amen, this is literally talking about

the Lord Jesus Christ Jose. It cannot be talking about

anything else, anything else. I'll finish the verse and prove

it to you upon the son of Man, whom you

made strong for yourself. Now listen, he's getting ready to

talk about the post tribulation rapture at the return of Christ.

What will happen then we will not turn back from you,

revive us, and we will call upon your knee, ladies

and gentlemen. This is using very the elementary verse Foreman

in the Hebrew. Ladies and gentlemen. This actually makes sense

because this is what the Book of Revelation says. You're

gonna go through birth pains and you're gonna cry out.

The great day of the Lord happens. He tabernacles over you,

and this place where he's over is a place that's

that's particularly protected. It's a habitable zone, the only habitable

zone on planet Earth. And then he goes back to

heaven and he coordinates the Lord Jesus Christ. That happens

at the seventh trumpet. Yeah, it does, look it up

Revelation chapter eleven. But the Lord Jesus Christ, he stampedes

all the way across Creation, and that takes all the

way to the seventh ball. Yes, it does. Read it.

That's what it says. Because there's three separate events. The

six seal event is the Great Day of the Lord.

That is when the Lord does what he describes in

Psalm Too. He announces to the whole planet, just like

David did in First King's Chapter one with his son Solomon.

He announces to all of creation, know the Antichrist that

you set up, the false prophet that you've voted in

to be president of the planet. No, he's not going

to cut it. I'm going to go and set my

son on my throne. He's going to be my heir.

So God the Father goes back to heaven and he

executes the next event, the coronation of Christ. I already

told you once. It's plainly described in Revelation chapter eleven,

starting in verse fifteen. Then at the end of the

Book of Revelation, it describes the return of Christ, at

which point you go through your changing, he's already rewired

your psyche, right, Jose. Yes, and then when after his

return he gives you a new physique. Amen. Amen, is

that not what he says?

Yes?

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, he said it so many times. Well,

it's redundant. It's redundant. That's why the plane reading prophecy model,

the plane reading of the scripture produces an extended historic

premillennial model. That's what this chapters describing, Jose, you're closing, thought.

Matthew, Boy, this is just such such an amazing chapter,

filled filled with so many, so many promises, takes us

in so many places in scripture. Matthew, we don't have

time to read Michaeh Chapter five. But me, if you

read Psalm eighty Daniel eleven and Michaeh Chapter five, you

can understand why. In the Greek, Matthew, this begins with

that name, the Assyrian. Why God put that in there?

It's it's it's an odd place to see it in

in this Psalm. You know, at first reading, when I

first saw that in the Greek, it's just like, you know,

what is God doing here? Why is the Assyrian in

this chapter but boy, if you, if you read those

three chapters together, Matthew, you get a complete picture of

what God's talking about here. I mean, this is just,

this is just, this is just God won again showing

his faithfulness, Matthew, once again showing us what He's gonna do,

once again showing us that we must endure the tribulation,

We must endure testing because he will shine his face

upon us, Matthew.

He's promised us that.

And whether in the tribulation we perish and we we

we we become asleep in the Lord, or whether we

die in Christ, He's promised us that his face will

shine upon us, Matthew, no matter what or whether whether

he we're given during this time of tribulation, we're given

our hinds feet, and we're taking to a place prepared

if that's if that's where we're going. He's given us

that promise, Matthew. No matter how hard the toils and

tribulations of Egypt feel, how hard that that yoke that

that new king is putting on us, that new Pharaoh

of Egypt, we've had to endure. And if and if

we've been faithful in being a Christian in Matthew, and

showing charity, and showing love and loving our neighbor and

in loving our enemy no matter what, like God's told

us to over and over and over again, if we

act like a Christian, Matthew, he will protect us in

this time of tribulation. He will take us to a

place that has been prepared. He's he's in this chapter.

He he repeats himself over and over saying that you know,

we've shown that just by everywhere, that that all the

cross cross references, that that this took us Matthew. So again,

I'm reassured reading reading this chapter, and I pray that

the listener is reassured reading this chapter.

God's made you promises.

Believe them, Believe them in your psyche, Believe them in

your numa, Believe them in your soma, because that's what

we are. So again, this is all I can say,

is Aman, that this chapter about Amen.

You know you mentioned Michael chapter five, and you're right.

We don't have the time to mention it, but I

do want to say this. I'll read this a little

bit from Michael chapter five. When the Assyrian comes into

our land, and when he treads upon our palaces, then

we shall raise against him seven shepherds and eight mighty

and eight princely men. They shall waste with the sword

the land of Assyria, the land of Nimrod at its entrances.

Thus he shall deliver us from the Assyrian when he

comes into our land, and when he treads within our borders.

You all need to know something what this is prophetically saying,

all of you need to know how Darius the Great

ascended the power. The ancient historian Herodotus was very illicit

in his description of Darius and six other nobles. That's right,

that's what I said, Darius and six other nobles. So

Darius was one of the seven. And after Darius put

down this usurper of the throne, Darius had him assassinated.

These him and these other six nobles, they got together.

At first the seven discussed the form of government. So

they thought about a democratic republic. It was strongly pushed

by one of the nobles, and oligarchy was pushed by

one of the nobles, while Darius pushed for a monarchy

after stating that the republic would lead to corruption and

internal fighting, while a monarchy would be led with the

single minus, not possible in other governments. Darius was able

to convince the other nobles now to decide who would

become the monarch. Six of them decided on a test,

with one of them abstaining as he had no interest

in being a king, because he wanted a form of

government that was well Hellenized, so he abstained from the test. Now,

according to Herodidus, Darius had a slave who rubbed his

hands over the genitals of the mayor that Darius Horse favored.

When the six gathered, the one noble placed his hand

beside the nostril of Darius Horse, who became excited at

the scent. And nine. Now because the horse did that

followed by lightning and thunder, leading the others to dismount

and kneel before Darius in recognition of his apparent divine providence.

Now in this acount, Darius himself claimed that he achieved

the throne not through fraud but cunning, even erecting a

statue of himself mounted on his gnying horse with the

inscription Darius, son of Estapes obtained the sovereignty of Persian

by the segre city of his horse and the ingenious

contrivance of his groom. You need to know that you

need to know that. That's what Mikah chapter five was

talking about, and you need to know how the Assyrian

is going to rise? What price out of here and prayer?

Please bless us, o Lord, and these your gifts which

you are about to receive.

Father.

I normally pray this prayer before I eat any meal

and thanks for what you have provided for me and

my family. But today Lord, I pray this in the ecclesia,

so that we may be thankful for the gifts which

you are going to give us.

No matter what the occasion.

I know the times of tribulation that are coming, we

will suffer, we will hunger, we will thirst, but you

will provide for us. You have promised to stat. Whether

it's one loaf of bread that we must share among

a thousand, whether it's one fish that we must share

among a thousand, you will give us these gifts that

we we ourselves can eat, but so that we can

share and be Christians. And this time, this coming time

of tribulation, Lord, you have promise us us.

That you will give us our daily bread.

You will promise, you have promised us that you will

forgive our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass.

Against us, even our enemies.

Lord, that's what you have asked for us, and as Christians,

that is what we must do.

Lord, asked that you give us.

The strength to endure the coming times. That or you

give us the strength to be faithful as you are faithful.

Because we know you have promised us the coming of

your son, that he will shepherd us, that he will

guide us, that we will become one underneath your tabernacle. Lord,

I ask all this in the name of your Son,

our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen Man.

Until next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless God Speak.
