  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

  4. Ministries and now Redemption Draweth Nighe. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen,

  5. welcome to the program. We are your host jose and Matthew.

  6. Of course, tonight we're getting back to the Book of Asaf.

  7. Today we're doing Psalm seventy seven, a very interesting chapter,

  8. corny versus. It's rather discombobulated and it's delivered. I mean,

  9. if you were to have a pastor or a teacher

  10. from any denomination across the board and ask them to

  11. describe this chapter for you, what is the purpose of

  12. this chapter? They would just tell, oh, that's easy. It's

  13. just a song, so it is doesn't mean anything. However,

  14. upon scrutinization, I'd say, this chapter's loaded. That's what I

  15. would say. But that's just me and I appreciate these

  16. stanzaheading for this chapter from the new King James version.

  17. It says the consoling memory of God's redemptive works, so

  18. it's worded in the past tense. I got a kick

  19. out of that. Because oh that's true, and it's also

  20. going to be true, that's for sure. So that's my

  21. opening comments. How about you, jose.

  22. Well, Matthew, you know when I'm now that I'm when

  23. I'm doing my reading, I try to place it on

  24. the timeline to help me better understand what God's trying

  25. to say. So, you know, when I read this completely,

  26. the timeline seems to indicate, you know, because you have

  27. this the references here too, at the end of the

  28. psalm kind of you know, God, God stepping on the earth,

  29. God coming on the earth, right, so kind of sixth

  30. seal imagery that I'm reading there at the end of

  31. the psalm, And so I can kind of place the

  32. beginning of the song, it being the birth pangs, and

  33. of course, you know God, God delivering on his promises,

  34. and you've got the you know in this song kind

  35. of the language like, you know, has God forgotten about me?

  36. You know what about his promises? And and so that's

  37. the that's the reading I get, Matthew when I read

  38. the whole song. But but when I first started reading it,

  39. and I first began to read it, I couldn't help

  40. but get the songs of Cora imagery in my out

  41. of my head. Matthew. That's just that's kind of the

  42. the feeling I was getting when I was reading the song.

  43. So yeah, it's kind of like you said, a little

  44. bit of discombobulation, you know, am I reading? Is this

  45. similar language to what the sons of Korra were saying?

  46. Is this talking about the birth pangs? So yeah, that's

  47. that's what I'm hoping to dig into and to to,

  48. you know, really really really settle down into because I'm

  49. getting I'm getting both connotations in this song. Matthew.

  50. I agree. I agree, you get both connotations in this

  51. and that should be kind of a given because you

  52. know this this this it's not only a psalm of Asaf.

  53. It is a psalm to Jeduthane. Now that's kind of

  54. a strange name. Well, it's in this in this connotation

  55. is not a name because of its prefix. So it's

  56. two or above jeb Youthan. That's that's what the Hebrew

  57. is saying here. And this very strange phrase is in

  58. the Bible three times. It makes as we've been taught

  59. as well. I've had to say this over the course

  60. of several studies. Now that this is in itself a

  61. sub book, these psalms to Jeb Youthan, and everybody needs

  62. to understand that that this is important that you know

  63. that Psalm thirty nine is too Jeb Youthan and it's

  64. a psalm of David. Psal I'm sixty two is to

  65. Jeb Youathan, a psalm of David. But this one is

  66. too Jeb Youthan, a psalm of Asaf. So just in

  67. knowing that that dichotomy right there, that there's two different

  68. types of songs to Jeb Youthan, one is of David,

  69. one is of Asaf. So that right there should get

  70. your attention that something mechanically is going on. And the

  71. big problem with that is we don't have time to

  72. talk about Psalm thirty nine or Psalm sixty two. We

  73. just quite simply don't have time to do that. So

  74. I would have to agree with you right from the

  75. very beginning that something is going on here. And one

  76. thing is for sure, this psalm is about God's redemptive work.

  77. Right.

  78. Yes, However, we have a major problem if our eschatological

  79. model is dispensational pre millennialism, because that's pre trib right, Yes,

  80. So I got a problem with a song. And when

  81. you think of things in that way, that is why

  82. there's no such thing as a chapter in verse for

  83. a pre tribulation rapture. There is no chapter in verse

  84. the verses that they report to be about a pre

  85. tribulational event. Both of those passages say quite clearly that

  86. the resurrection comes first before the changing occurs, and the

  87. changing and the resurrection only only comes is only precipitated

  88. at the return of Christ, that's after the tribulation. So

  89. this is why a lot of confusion enters into the

  90. equation right here. This is due to Satan shepherds and

  91. the corrupt clergy that support Satan shepherds. So just with

  92. that in mind, if you're trying to think of a

  93. pre tribulational way that you're going to get out of

  94. what the Bible says, Psalm seventy seven offers you major

  95. obstacles to that because Psalm seventy seven tells the truth,

  96. and when you're consulting the facts there, your emotional reasoning

  97. around them is quite irrelevant. You just simply have to

  98. swear all the facts as they are and accept the

  99. simple fact that what God has done. You can take

  100. this to the bank. By God, what he did do

  101. is exactly what he's going to do. That's exactly what

  102. he's going to do. Because he's not like you. He's

  103. not like me. He's not wishy washy, is he? Jose? No, Matthew,

  104. And is this not Why didn't we talk about this?

  105. I think last week we talked about this. The new

  106. King James version says it a little differently than the

  107. New American Standard Bible. But the Greek testifies as to

  108. what is to come you, Jose, if you are alive

  109. and remain, you will tabernacle with him.

  110. Amen.

  111. Okay, what does that mean? Explain that to me, Jose.

  112. What did anybody ever tabernacle with him before?

  113. No, Matthew, I take.

  114. Umbrage with you. Yes they did, Oh Amen, of course

  115. they did. Of course they did. Okay, I take cambridge

  116. with you.

  117. You're right, Yes they did.

  118. And it began. It began at the foot of the

  119. Red Sea Pharaah, after he had recovered from the loss

  120. of his firstborn, his fury come up in his face,

  121. and he gathered. He marshaled the entire Egyptian army and

  122. rode out to completely wiped them out there at the

  123. foot of the Red Sea. Correct, and what happened? God

  124. came down in the pillar of fire. Amen.

  125. Amen, the bottle is quite clear.

  126. Don't lie. The reason why Pharaoh did not wipe them

  127. out on the banks that very night is the entire

  128. night the pillar of fire stood between them. In the morning,

  129. God split the Red Sea. The children of Israel went across.

  130. Pharaoh pursued and was most promptly whiting. Once they were

  131. on the other side of the Red Sea. God gave

  132. instructions for the tabernacle. Correct, correct, and for forty well,

  133. actually forty two years. Okay, because I can give you

  134. the numbers, I've provided the documentation publicly that minimum the

  135. time that passed between this and when the spies went

  136. out and brought back the bad report to the day

  137. was a year and five months later. Now several of

  138. those places, God doesn't say how long they stayed there.

  139. So remember the forty years did not begin until after

  140. that year. In five months, you're talking forty two years.

  141. So during that whole time, Okay, what happened during the day, Jose,

  142. What what did God look like?

  143. By day he was the pillar of cloud, Matthew.

  144. And by night he was what pillar of fire, and

  145. he was in the center Israelites, right, he was in

  146. that tabernacle. So I take great upwards with you.

  147. And that's, yes, the exact image. You always say, Matthew,

  148. that that tabernacle is like a tent, and if that

  149. pillar is right in the middle, then that tent is

  150. surrounding the camp.

  151. Yes, it's it's pretty simple to understand what will watch

  152. you understand it. So that's what's going to happen. And

  153. you know, like I described last week, that's exactly what

  154. the Greek and the Hebrew. By the way, I didn't

  155. talk about the Hebrew, but I could have. I could

  156. have talked about Hebraically would has stated in Revelation chapter seven.

  157. But that's what it says. We are going to tabernacle

  158. with him, just like we it, just like we did before.

  159. Now the problem with this is everybody doesn't realize that

  160. the Book of Exodus doesn't give you all the juicy

  161. details about what happened to Egypt after their army had

  162. been wiped from the face of the earth. Write this down.

  163. I'm going to tell you this right now. I'm not

  164. here to entertain you, I'm here to edify you. So

  165. if you're going to partake in edification, you need to

  166. bring something to write with and something to write on.

  167. Write this down Ixo's invasion, Write that down. Egypt was

  168. never the same. Egypt entered into great tribulation historically, this

  169. is beyond contestation. What do you think happened to them

  170. when their army was at the bottom of the Red Sea.

  171. What the Book of Revelation does is give you the

  172. details of what happened to Egypt after their army was decimated.

  173. Of course, the Book of Exodus doesn't give you that information.

  174. It's not pertinent to you, but you do need to

  175. know this, ladies and gentlemen, I understand that the Exodus

  176. is a very convoluted narrative because take note, the Book

  177. of Numbers should be where it starts. But on top

  178. of that, you have the Book of Exodus for an

  179. entire overview, and you have Deuteronomy and Leviticus. You must

  180. be able to incorporate all those four books. So it

  181. really mechanically works just like the Book of Revelation. So

  182. how many sets of judgments are there, Jose in the

  183. Book of Revelation, Tell me the different type of judgments?

  184. Please, Well, you've got the the seven trump bits, the seven.

  185. Bulls, yep, and the seven seals.

  186. Right amen, Amen, yep, yep, you're right right, yes, amen.

  187. Well you have the Exodus, which is the overview, but

  188. you've got to incorporate numbers, Deuteronomy and Leviticus. Jose. It's

  189. quite simple mathematics. It's mathematics. So it's pretty important that

  190. you know that before we ever start reading Asaf chapter six.

  191. That's what this is. This is the Book of Asaf

  192. chapter six, Psalm seventy seven. It's extremely important, and you

  193. need to understand that the Lord Jesus Christ was not

  194. lying to you and when he told you when you

  195. see the abomination of desolation, head to the hills. You

  196. need to know where all these movies get it from, right, Hose,

  197. what happens when a nuke goes off? Jose, You're supposed

  198. to head for the hills? Right, Yes, this common phraseology

  199. in the English American vernacular head to the hills. You

  200. need to know where it comes from. No, it didn't

  201. come from Shakespeare. No, No, it didn't didn't come from Hollywood.

  202. It come from the mouth of the Lord Jesus Christ.

  203. And you could take this to the bank if you're

  204. alive and remain coming the end of time. That's exactly

  205. what you better do. That's what you better do. And

  206. when the Lord Jesus Christ says you should high tail it,

  207. he sang that for good reason.

  208. Amen, Jose, Amen, Matthew.

  209. He's saying that for good reason. He's saying that for

  210. good reason. And you should be able to put that

  211. on the Exodus timeline because I just gave it to you.

  212. I just gave it to you. You should know and

  213. understand that from the time of the plague of the

  214. First Born, the entire children of Israel went all the

  215. way to the Red Sea. You should know and understand

  216. that you should be looking at forty five days. That's

  217. what you should be looking at from the time you

  218. flee and head to the hills. No one understand this.

  219. Your deliverance will come forty five days after that, and

  220. God's gonna do exactly what He's said to do. We've

  221. read the latter part of Revelation chapter seven quite a

  222. few times, now, right, Jose.

  223. Yes, we have.

  224. Do you believe God can do that if he wants to?

  225. Amen? Absolutely, Jose.

  226. Why do people think that God can't do what he wants?

  227. Why are they convinced Jose that he's been entombed upon

  228. his throne. Why is that?

  229. I have no idea on Matthew.

  230. Well, I believe it's your turn to read. I believe

  231. I read last week. Is that not correct?

  232. I believe so? Yes?

  233. Okay, so give it to us, both barrels square in

  234. the chest, all right?

  235. Psalm seventy seven out of the New King James version,

  236. The Consoling Memory of God's Redemptive Works to the Chief Musician,

  237. to Jedathon, a Psalm of Asaf. I cried out to

  238. God with my voice, to God with my voice, and

  239. he gave ear to me. In the day of my trouble,

  240. I thought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in

  241. the night without ceasing. My soul refused to be comforted.

  242. I remembered God and was troubled. I complained, and my

  243. spirit was overwhelmed. Say, law, you hold my eyelids open.

  244. I am so troubled that I cannot speak. I have

  245. considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

  246. I called to remembrance my song in the night. I

  247. meditate within my heart, and my spirit makes diligent search.

  248. Will the Lord cast off forever? And he will be,

  249. will he be favorable? No more has his mercy ceased?

  250. Forever has his promise failed? Forevermore has God forgotten to

  251. be gracious? Has he, in anger shut up his tender mercies?

  252. Say lah, and I said, this is my anguish. But

  253. I will remember the years of the right hand of

  254. the Most High. I will remember the works of the Lord.

  255. Surely I will remember your wonders of old. I will

  256. also meditate on all your work and talk of your deeds.

  257. Your way, oh God, is in the sanctuary. Who is

  258. so great a god as our God? You are the

  259. God who does wonders. You have declared your strength among

  260. the peoples. You have your army. We have with your

  261. arm redeemed your people. The sons of Jacob and Joseph,

  262. say ah, the water saw you, Oh God, the water

  263. saw you. They were afraid. The depths also trembled, The

  264. clouds poured out water. The sky sent out a sound.

  265. Your arrows also flashed about. The voice of your thunder

  266. was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world.

  267. The earth trembled and shook. Your way was in the sea,

  268. your path in the great waters, and your footsteps were

  269. not known. You led your people like a flock by

  270. the hand of Moses and Aaron.

  271. It's a pretty song.

  272. Yes, it is.

  273. No doubt to that it's a pretty song. And it

  274. seems to be interrupted by these salot moments. Don't go yes,

  275. And you know, I've listened to quite a few people

  276. over the decades. You know they don't even read that.

  277. They'll just skip it. Matter of fact, it's been very

  278. rare for me to hear people read the word cela

  279. no matter what version they're reading out of go just

  280. skip it. And unfortunately, if you were to remove the

  281. salaws for this, you wouldn't be able to realize that

  282. this is well, he's doing this for a reason. These

  283. are god stanzas right. Yes, when he says the law,

  284. he's telling you, okay, put that in your pocket. I'm

  285. going to talk about something else now. Now, let me

  286. ask you something, Jose, So does cilaw mean that that

  287. it's a different time or does it mean it's the

  288. same time. This event's happening at the same time, but

  289. it's a separate event. Don't answer that, all right, I

  290. got your attention, don't I Yes? Now, is it not

  291. true that some say some translations say that CI law

  292. means pause.

  293. Yes.

  294. Now, I don't think you and I have ever talked

  295. about the actual meaning of the word salon. So so,

  296. so you got access to the strongs, right, yes, let's

  297. look that up. What what is that in the Hebrew

  298. we're looking at?

  299. Actually? Okay, so I got si law as h five

  300. five four to two. It says suspension or pause. But

  301. it also has a root word here that we can

  302. dig into. It's one to hang up to way to contemn.

  303. That's right, Yes, what do you make of that?

  304. It's got an interesting note to here, Matthew. In regards

  305. to the KJB, it says is to tread down underfoot

  306. to value.

  307. Yes, and I agree with with all of that. Do

  308. you have access to the Greek what this is?

  309. Jump over it? That'd be a little bit more difficult,

  310. but we should be able to find it. No, you

  311. might have to help with that, Matthew.

  312. And why is that?

  313. Oh, just that the Greek kind of forms it a

  314. little bit different. Let me let me see if I

  315. can find it. I don't see. I don't see cela

  316. in my in my Greek version of Matthew, but I

  317. might be Oh yet I see it there? Okay, at

  318. the University. Let me see if I can find it

  319. in the Greek? Is it dia falmer? I think something

  320. like that, but I'm I'm not getting the strongest number. Matthew, No,

  321. not on that, so you might have to help out

  322. with that one.

  323. Well, that's that's well, that's that's a pretty rough What.

  324. Did you say again that that diaphalma? And I might

  325. not be reading that that correctly either, but I'm not

  326. getting strong the strong numbers. I can't I can't read

  327. the English version of it. So if you can help that,

  328. that'd be.

  329. Well, I can't give you a strong number that strongs

  330. don't exist, Okay, then that probably should take people by surprise.

  331. And that's why I said it. Yep, you need to understand,

  332. ladies and gentlemen, and that not all the subtuagen has

  333. been keyed to strongs. So I'm going to use this

  334. to encourage you to dig in because I appreciate that

  335. jose and I is reading the New King James verse,

  336. and I assure you that's not God's word. God's word

  337. comes to you two ways, and the Hebrew and in

  338. the Coyae of Greek that preceded that Hebrew by a

  339. thousand years. Just so you know what you get your

  340. Old Testament Hebrew from is from two codices, that is

  341. the Linenred Codex and the Aleppo Codex. But the Septuogen.

  342. We have many, many, many copies of the Septuagen and

  343. those come from a thousand years before the Masoretic text.

  344. So you would have thought that the strongs would have

  345. started at the sept coulag. That's what you would have thought, right, Jose.

  346. That would have made sense, Matthew.

  347. So, wadies and gentlemen, I encourage you to dig in,

  348. dig in, do things like this. Do you know that

  349. the dictionary is in every language? Did you know that?

  350. Do yourself a favor. Get a hold of this word.

  351. You can get it on blue letter Bible. You can

  352. get blue letter Bible, right Jose.

  353. Yep, Okay.

  354. If you do that, you open up the tools and

  355. it'll on one of the bars there exceptog. You can

  356. click on it and you can copy that. Go to

  357. the Greek dictionary. Now the Greek dictionary is not in English,

  358. it's in Greek. Copy and paste that in there. The

  359. hit the magnifying glass so it'll search. When it does

  360. it search, then translate that page into English and then

  361. you will see what you need to see. But today

  362. I'm not going to do it for you. But I'm

  363. telling you it's detrimental that you figure out what God's saying.

  364. But Jose and I we can't do everything for you.

  365. And I want to do to you exactly what I

  366. did to Jose. You have the Bible, God's holy Word.

  367. I don't need to give it to you. You do

  368. have the resources to get it, Yes, you do. I

  369. just gave you one. All of you have smartphones. If

  370. you don't, all of you can go to the library.

  371. Blue Letter Bible is absolutely free, so yes, you can

  372. look at the original manuscripts on blue letter. Rible. So

  373. I've posed a very interesting question. Does slaw mean stop

  374. I'm going to talk about a different time, or is

  375. God saying stop, I'm going to talk about something else

  376. that occurs at the same time. It's enough for us

  377. to say here that God is definitely breaking these things up.

  378. He's breaking this down, that's what he's doing. So these

  379. are God's standzas, and as such we need to understand

  380. that the verse three verses they stand alone. We should

  381. look at them separately, and it has a message all

  382. of them. And it's very troubling to read these first

  383. three verses. You know, why is he so troubled? Why

  384. is it in the day of my trouble I sought

  385. the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night

  386. without ceasing. My soul refused to be comforted. The only

  387. thing that this could pertain to, according to end Time

  388. Bible prophecy, is what I've already mentioned, the setting up

  389. the abomination of desolation. Now in the next Salah moment

  390. that gives some more details of what's going on. You

  391. hold my eyelids open. So here is after the slaw

  392. when he already said this very clearly that the day

  393. of trouble, my hand was stretched out the night without ceasing.

  394. So now this must be the next day, right, you

  395. hold my eyelibs open. I'm so troubled. I cannot speak.

  396. Something has happened that he's been up all night long,

  397. and now his physical capacities are being locked up. He

  398. can only meditate an his heart. His spirit does a

  399. diligent search. Will the Lord cast off forever? Will he

  400. be favorable? No more? Has his mercy sees ford? Has

  401. the promises failed? I mean, this is pretty this has

  402. the lord forgot to be gracious? Has he in anger

  403. shut up his tender mercies? That's pretty serious stuff, man,

  404. I mean, who would cry out these things? Because one

  405. thing's for sure, Aceef had no reason to be crying

  406. such things out, did he? Joseh?

  407. No, Matthew, I.

  408. Mean, was there anybody more blessed than a sath?

  409. Nope, that's a good question, ain't it right?

  410. That's a good question, ladies and gentlemen. I mean, who

  411. would have been more blessed than a sath? Who? Who

  412. else got to prophesy because the king ordered him to

  413. do so? Not a king? D king? It makes you

  414. wonder what's going on here now? Is Asaf remembering this

  415. or is he knowing it's coming and he's remembering the future?

  416. That's the real question your thoughts.

  417. A couple of things to add, Matthew Alpen. Numerically, we

  418. know that the twenty three hundred is in verse four there,

  419. which yes it is. We've discussed is the birth pays?

  420. But then also, like what you mentioned about this possibly

  421. relating to the setting up of the abomination of desolation, Matthew,

  422. if I go down to verse thirteen, where it says

  423. that your way Oh, God is in the sanctuary. Who

  424. is so great a god as our God? Boy, Matthew,

  425. you just can't can't help. But remember what the false

  426. prophet is going to try and do, Matthew. He's going

  427. to try to enter the sanctuary. He's going to try

  428. to set up his place in that sanctuary. He's going

  429. to try to set up the abomination of desolation in

  430. the sanctuary. He's going to try to proclaim himself God.

  431. I mean, that verse right there directly talks to those events, Matthew.

  432. And here God's I mean, it's it's if you can

  433. put yourself in this place, Matthew. And you're watching these

  434. events transpire, and you're saying, no, that that cannot happen,

  435. that abomination desolation cannot be, cannot be there, because that's

  436. God's place. That that's That's exactly what I'm seeing here, Matthew.

  437. I appreciate that. I do. I appreciate that. And I'll

  438. tell you what. Let me ask you a question. Yeah,

  439. what is verse ten talking about, Jose, I mean, what

  440. can it possibly be talking about? Read it for me please.

  441. And I said, this is my anguish, but I will

  442. remember the years of the right hand of the most

  443. high Jose, I'm not I'm not being facetious.

  444. What in the name of the Lord is that? What

  445. are the years in God's right hand?

  446. I don't know.

  447. Matthew, would you agree that's probably pretty important?

  448. Yes?

  449. I mean that's isn't he What he's really doing here?

  450. He's saying that whatever was before this event was the

  451. years in these right hand. Yes, and something has massively

  452. changed so that these years here what the sawmist is

  453. talking about. Now I appreciate that. I'm not trying to

  454. insult your intelligence, so because I didn't want to say

  455. asap right right, what he's really saying is that I

  456. don't know what this is, but I understand that now

  457. time is in God's left hand, and you know what,

  458. let's do that. Let's just do an elementary scan of

  459. the scriptures for left hand. Now, I know. The very

  460. first time it comes up in the prophetic narrative is

  461. in Isaiah chapter nine. I appreciate the context. Let me

  462. let me read it for you Isaiah chapter nine, verse twenty,

  463. and Jose, I want you to head over there right now,

  464. if you haven't already, and he shall snatch on the

  465. right hand and be hungry. He shall devour on the

  466. left hand and not be satisfied. Every man shall eat

  467. the flesh of his own arm. That's pretty dire, right. Yes,

  468. what is this What is this chapter in Isaiah talking about?

  469. I tell you what, what is the New American or

  470. the new King James version. What is the stanzaheading for

  471. this chapter?

  472. So that yeah, the verse one the stands aheading is

  473. the government of the Promised Son.

  474. And that's the new King James version heading for it. Yes,

  475. because my bible in Isaiah chapter twenty.

  476. Oh, Isaiah nine or twenty Matthew.

  477. I'm sorry nine chapter nine.

  478. I'm in Isaiah chapter nine.

  479. Yes, and you're all the way at the beginning of

  480. the chapter.

  481. Yes, uh huh.

  482. My heading says the birth of the Prince of Peace.

  483. Amen.

  484. So that probably takes people a different way, right, right,

  485. because something is going on, because this is all about

  486. well Zebulin natally.

  487. Right right?

  488. This is this is quoted in the gospels, right.

  489. Yes, So.

  490. We don't have time to go through all of this,

  491. but I'm telling you something here. He's saying something. He's

  492. saying that a birth is going to happen here, ladies

  493. and gentlemen. That's what he's by using this phraseology. He

  494. wants you to know that now that time has been

  495. switched into the left hand, there's going to be a birth.

  496. There's now Just so you all know, Isaiah chapter nine,

  497. I already said it. It mentions zebulin natally YadA YadA

  498. YadA efriam v Nassa. This phrase off so comes up

  499. in Ezekiel chapter nine, verse three. Then I will knock

  500. the bow out of your left hand and cause the

  501. arrows to fall out of your right hand. You shall

  502. fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your

  503. troops and all the people who are with you. I

  504. will give you to the birds of prey, every sort,

  505. to the beast of the field to be devoured. You

  506. shall fall in the open field. For I've spoken, says

  507. the Lord. So you need to know that this connotation

  508. is the Battle of Gog and Maygog, and that happens

  509. after the millennium. So when you put two and two together, Jose,

  510. you can come to the conclusion just using this phrase

  511. that the time in the left hand is different than

  512. the time and the right, and we're currently in the

  513. time of the right, and then the time of the

  514. left time is different, and you should know and understand

  515. that this is really what Psalm chapter seventy seven is

  516. trying to relay. This. This is the time in between.

  517. Look at it this way, Jose. You know how sea

  518. saw works, right, Yes, you got the left side of

  519. the seesaw, on the right side of the sea saw.

  520. What's in the middle, what's in the exact center of

  521. the seesaw?

  522. No, the folkm right. Is that what they call it.

  523. That's right. That's what we're looking at here. That's what

  524. he's trying to relay here. This is the idea he's

  525. trying to relay. Now to this also comes up. Are

  526. you ready, Jose, yep, now you're sure you're ready. I

  527. hope so, because we've read this a trillion times, but

  528. not in this way. Now you're going to really see

  529. it what's being said here Daniel Chapter twelve, verse seven.

  530. Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was

  531. above the waters of the river, and he held up

  532. his right hand and his left hand to Heaven and

  533. swore by him who lives forever and ever, that it

  534. shall be for a time times and half the time,

  535. and when the power of the Holy People has been

  536. completely shattered, all these things shall be finished. This is

  537. the perfect way to relate to us that this pivot

  538. point that Psalm seventy seven is talking about, it is

  539. the beginning of a time times and half the time.

  540. And at the end of that three years, that three

  541. and a half years, when the Holy people's been complete,

  542. we shattered all these things shall be finished. Now we

  543. know that narrative from before. We know that narrative comes

  544. to light in Revelation chapter twenty, right, right, So it

  545. was pretty important that everybody knew, for one why this

  546. angel was standing over the mental of the water. He

  547. was in the center of it. And it said that

  548. he stretched out one hand, but the other hand he

  549. stretched to heaven. So the other hand he stretched out

  550. to creation. Right, that must be what he's talking about, right, right.

  551. But it's funny how if you don't saturate yourself with

  552. a Bible, God's holy word, Psalm seventy seven don't really

  553. make any sense. It's not really saying anything to you

  554. until you know the phraseology. So there's a whole lot

  555. we can learn here. There is, literally and the endless

  556. supply of information that we can obtain here if we

  557. just look at it. But like I said, the things

  558. spoken of here are very difficult. It's very difficult. What

  559. time is he taught? Why is there this span, this

  560. space where God doesn't seem to hear your prayers? Is

  561. this talked about before? Of course, it's talked about before,

  562. ladies and gentlemen, that's the fact. It is talked about before.

  563. Jose and I how did studies on that that comes

  564. up in the Psalms? You need to write this down.

  565. It's very important that you write these things down. When

  566. he talks about a flood of many waters, it's not

  567. lying to you. You need to know that God has

  568. said this before, and you're supposed to know. This comes

  569. from Psalms thirty two. It's thirty two, verse six. For

  570. this causes everyone who is godly shall pray to you

  571. in a time when you may be found, surely in

  572. a flood of great waters, they shall not come near him.

  573. This is the only time when your prayers won't reach

  574. God because you can't find him. Jose, where is he

  575. who sitteth upon the throne right now?

  576. Aid's in heaven, Matthew, He's on his throne.

  577. He's on his throne. Yes, is this not saying there's

  578. coming a time when he's not going to be on

  579. his throne. Yes, So literally, what the saying is, there's

  580. coming a point in time where God himself is going

  581. to go gally vanning around. I mean, ladies and gentlemen,

  582. it's not there on time. The Bible says this, This

  583. isn't unique, Jose, This, this isn't unique, isn't.

  584. No, it's not, Matthew Daniel. Chapter seven talks distinctly about it.

  585. It talks distinctly about it. So we'd be able to

  586. put this to that time, right, we could put this

  587. chapter to that time. Yes, when this is well, time

  588. has gone from the right hand to the left hand.

  589. Something terrible is going on. But take note. I like

  590. how Asaff says that this time ends, and that's really

  591. what this last stands is about. Right, Okay, start in

  592. verse sixteen, lady, gentlemen, I'm going to read it for you,

  593. and I'm gonna ask Hose what he's talking about. The

  594. water saw you, Oh God, the water saw you. They

  595. were afraid. The depths are so trembled. The clouds poured

  596. out water. The sky sent out a sound. Your arrows

  597. also flashed about.

  598. The voice of thunder was said the wool wind, the

  599. lightnings lit up the world, the earth trembled and shook.

  600. Your way was in the sea, and your footsteps were

  601. not known. You let your people like a flock by

  602. the hand of Moses and Aaron, Jose, what is he

  603. talking about?

  604. This?

  605. To me, Matthew, is the sixth Seal? This is the

  606. Great day of the Lord.

  607. Well, he's most absolutely describing the crossing of the Red Sea.

  608. Amen.

  609. So what you're saying is is that both events must

  610. be the same thing.

  611. They sure sounded like, Matthew, you know what God's gonna do, Jose.

  612. That's telling us right here what's gonna happen.

  613. Yeah, He's gonna do what he's done.

  614. Yes, Amen, yep, cases after what he has done. Yes.

  615. So this creates quite a conundrum. Why don't people Why

  616. doesn't God's children? Why don't they believe that he can

  617. do something that he's already done? Does that make sense

  618. to you?

  619. No, it doesn't.

  620. I mean because you have proof he can do it, right, Yes,

  621. So if you've got proof he can do it, why

  622. would you contest his ability to do it? Again, this

  623. does not make reasonable sense, does it?

  624. No?

  625. It does not make reasonable sense. And one thing's for sure.

  626. Once we know that part, the verses before it make

  627. a whole lot more sense. They make a whole lot

  628. more sense. Let's put that to the test. Let's back

  629. up to the next salam moment. Right, So, the next

  630. Siala moment starts in verse ten, and I said, this

  631. is my anguish. But I will remember the years of

  632. the right hand of the most time. I will remember

  633. the works of the Lord. Surely I will remember your

  634. wonders of old. I will also meditate on all your

  635. work and talk of your deeds. Your way, O, God

  636. is in the sanctuary. Who is so great a god

  637. as our God? You are the God who does wonders.

  638. You have declared your strength among the peoples. You have

  639. your arm redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah,

  640. that's a very strange way to put it. Why would

  641. God be mentioning the sons of Jacob and then the

  642. sons of Joseph.

  643. But we know Joseph had the birthright, right, Matthew.

  644. That's right, Joseph had the birthright. But this says it

  645. very strangely. Since Jacob and then Joseph, right, it's forcing

  646. you to see something you know. Is God's people ever

  647. called the children of Jacob? Or are they always called

  648. the children of Israel? Because Jacob is Israel? Right?

  649. Yes?

  650. Is he not forcing you to see that whatever happens

  651. here this pivot point in time, it triggers an event

  652. where Jacob's posterity becomes the children of Israel. And I

  653. could refer everybody back once again, because really, now this

  654. is absolutely screaming with Isaiah chapter nine declares that's what

  655. it's really doing. So jose head back over there, please,

  656. Maybe we should take a read of Isaiah chapter nine

  657. and get the full gist.

  658. All right, I'll jump over there. I've been I've been

  659. jumping around everywhere because this is taking us, taking me

  660. a lot of different places that I'm digging into.

  661. All right, So should we pause? Do you want to

  662. share some of what you found before we read this?

  663. Real quick?

  664. Yeah?

  665. Before before we jump to Isaiah chapter nine, the Book

  666. of Obadiah Matthew. It tells us about the house of

  667. Jacob and the house of Joseph.

  668. Well, by all means you should share that first.

  669. So yes, uh huh. So I will start in verse

  670. seventeen of the Book of Obadiah. But on Mountain Zion

  671. there shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness. The

  672. House of Jacob shall possess their possessions. The House of

  673. Jacob shall be of fire, and the House of Joseph

  674. of flame. But the House of Esau shall be stuble.

  675. They shall kindle them and devour them, and no survivor

  676. shall remain of the House of Esau. For the Lord

  677. has spoken.

  678. So what do you immediately see? You immediately see what

  679. I already stated. Something is missing here. The children of

  680. Israel are missing, correct?

  681. Yes?

  682. So is he not telling you that the system he

  683. sets up over the millennial kingdom is going to be

  684. two different branches?

  685. Yes?

  686. Yes, he stated very clearly these two branches would burn

  687. right right. And he's not talking about the Bride of Christ,

  688. is he, No, Matthew, the bride of Christ is the

  689. children of Israel. Let that sink in, ladies and gentlemen.

  690. The Book of Obadiah was clearly stating that who is

  691. going to be the executive branch, Okay, the executive branch

  692. and the judicial branch is not going to be the

  693. children Liseral. That's what Obadiah was saying, and it's that

  694. system that's going to rule over everybody else. That's what's

  695. being stated. So that was very important. I'm glad you

  696. brought that up, Jose. We got ten minutes left. I

  697. strongly suggest we take a look at Isaiah chapter nine

  698. and read it.

  699. All right, the whole kitten kaboodle, the whole nine yards man. Amen, okay,

  700. So Isaiah chapter nine from the New King James. Nevertheless,

  701. the gloom will not be upon her who is distress.

  702. Amen, Amen, As when at.

  703. First he lightly esteemed the land of Zebulen and the

  704. land of Naftali, and afterward more heavily oppressed her by

  705. the way of the sea beyond the Jordan. In Galilee

  706. of the Gentiles, the people who walked in darkness have

  707. seen a great light. Those who dwelt in the land

  708. of the shadow of death. Upon them a light has

  709. shined fay Man, multiplied the nation and aiming joy. They

  710. rejoice before you, according to the joy of harvest, as

  711. men rejoice when they divide the spoil. For you have

  712. broken the yoke of his burden and the staff of

  713. his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the

  714. day of Midian. For every warrior sandal from the noisy battle,

  715. and garments rolled in blood will be used for burning

  716. and fuel of fire. For unto us a child is born,

  717. unto us, a son is given, and the government will

  718. be upon his shoulder, and his name will be called

  719. wonderful counselor Mighty God, everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of

  720. the increase of his government and peace, there will be

  721. no end upon the throne of David and over his kingdom,

  722. to order it and establish it with justice, adjudgment, and justice.

  723. From that time forward, even forever, the zeal of the

  724. Lord of Host will perform this. The Lord send a

  725. word against Jacob, and it has fallen on Israel. All

  726. the people will know Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria,

  727. who say, in pride and arrogance of heart, the bricks

  728. have fallen down, but we will rebuild with hewn stones.

  729. The sycamores are cut down, but we will replace them

  730. with cedars. Therefore, the Lord shall set up the adversaries

  731. of Resin against him, and spur his enemies on the

  732. Syrians before and the Philistines behind, and they shall devour

  733. Israel with an open mouth. For all this his anger

  734. is not turned away, but his hand is still is

  735. stretched out still. For the people do not turn to

  736. him who strikes them, nor do they seek the Lord

  737. of Hosts. Therefore the Lord will cut off head and

  738. tail from Israel, palm, branch and bulrush in one day.

  739. The elder and honorable, he is the head, the prophet

  740. who teaches lies. He is the tale. For the leaders

  741. of this people cause them to err, and those who

  742. are led by them are destroyed. Therefore the Lord will

  743. have no joy in their young men, nor have mercy

  744. on their fatherless and widows. For everyone is a hypocrite

  745. and an evildoer, for every mouth speaks folly. For all this,

  746. his anger is not turned away, but his hand is

  747. stretched out still. For wickedness burns as the fire. It

  748. shall devour the briars and thorns, and kindle in the

  749. thickets of the forest. They shall mount up like rising

  750. smoke through the wrath of the Lord of host The

  751. land is burned up, and that people shall be as

  752. fuel for the fire. No man shall spare his brother,

  753. and he shall snatch on the right hand and be hungry.

  754. He shall devour on the left hand and not be satisfied.

  755. Every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm

  756. Ma Nasa shall devour Efraim and Efraim Manassa. Together they

  757. shall be against Judah. For all this, his anger is

  758. not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

  759. Now, ladies and gentlemen, you didn't understand what he was saying.

  760. He's being perfectly clear. All the leaders are bad. You

  761. should know and understand. What he just stated is a

  762. reiteration of this narrative that goes on in the Bible.

  763. It's called the slaughter of the shepherd's. He made himself

  764. perfectly clear why it is his people, well, he made

  765. verse seventeen. He makes himself perfectly clear why everyone is

  766. doing bad verse sixteen. Foot read verse sixteen for me again, Jose.

  767. For the leaders of this people cause them to air,

  768. and those who are led by them are destroyed.

  769. Jose, what's the problem with the church today? Explain to

  770. me why it's common knowledge? Now? Why are there forty

  771. five thousand different denominations of Christians globally? Why is that because.

  772. Every clergy has their own doctrine and doglin Matthew.

  773. Ladies and gentlemen, you need to understand why he mentioned

  774. Ephraim and then an Assa. Here at the end, those

  775. are the sons of Joseph. So you could use this

  776. as a commentary on what God was talking about in

  777. the last verses we read where it said Jacob and Joseph.

  778. God is doing everything he can to show you that

  779. it is the leaders who are to blame and actually

  780. cause this. It's Satan shepherds and the corrupt clergy that

  781. permits them, that enables Satan shepherds to do what they do.

  782. And that's what this is saying, and it is saying

  783. that they are going to remain the leaders, albeit they're

  784. going to be butchered. So you need to understand that

  785. this narrative is the bride of Christ is something else.

  786. We're not the leaders, ladies and gentlemen, we're the sheep.

  787. Do you need to understand what this narrative is trying

  788. to tell you, and you need to be comforted in

  789. the fact that what happens to these shepherds and the

  790. clergy is not going to happen to you. You're going

  791. to be tabernacle lean with God. You're going to be

  792. tabernacle lean with him. That's what's going to happen. That's

  793. what Isaiah chapter nine was talking about. That's what Psalm

  794. seventy seven is talking about. It's just relate to you

  795. in a different way. And God is saying that I'm

  796. going to prove to you that I can do these things.

  797. I'm going to prove it to you I did it before.

  798. He's saying, I'm going to do what I did before.

  799. That's what it's saying. That's the message here, and take

  800. note this time is obviously going to be separated by

  801. the institution of two witnesses. Amen, jose Amen, Matthew, that's

  802. a given. Unfortunately, it's not the two witnesses that the

  803. modern you know, entertainment system wants you to see. They

  804. always say that the two witnesses are you know, Elijah

  805. and Enoch, right, But in the original narrative, that's not

  806. what happened. The original two witnesses that executed these events

  807. was Moses and Aaron. How is that your thoughts?

  808. No, Matthew, I think I think Isaiah nine perfectly explains

  809. what we're talking about in Psalm seventy seven. It's just

  810. I don't know, I don't know how many times we

  811. can say it, Matthew. The situation that the bad shepherds

  812. have put the church in today, how separated we are,

  813. how much we chase around our own tales. Isaiah nine

  814. tells us about those tales we chase around our own tales,

  815. trying to prove our dogmain doctrine. But if we would

  816. just read the Bible, God explains exactly, and he's clear.

  817. I mean, i mean, every every chapter we're hitting, he's

  818. he's saying the same thing, Matthew, he's reiterating over and over.

  819. He's chasing after what has been, after what he has done,

  820. and it should be, it should be, it should be

  821. clear to anyone who's a serious student of the Bible, Matthew.

  822. So that's that's what that's what has me well kind of,

  823. I mean, God's told us this is what's going to happen.

  824. But this is what's got me just kind of down

  825. right now after just reading Isaiah chapter nine, because I'm

  826. just I'm just realizing, I'm just I'm just realizing that, Matthew,

  827. the path that we're taking to get to what's being

  828. described in Matthew twenty four, the path that we're taking

  829. us being described in Psalm seven and Psalm seventy seven,

  830. those birth pangs, how we're going to end up there

  831. and it's it's all. It's all at the foot of

  832. those clergy Matthew, those bad shepherds.

  833. Yes it is yes, it is well, Jose that Iour

  834. went by fast, didn't it, Hey, man, it did take

  835. us out of here.
