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

  5. welcome to the program. I am your host, Matthew. Tonight

  6. we're doing a fellowship on the Three Shepherds, so I

  7. hope everybody's ready to do that. I have made a

  8. document those of you who can get into the Google

  9. meet the link is in there. And Laura, your mike

  10. is hot. So this is pretty important stuff right here

  11. in Zacharai eleven. Laura, please mute your mic. There you go,

  12. Thank you. That's what the background noise was, ladies and Jomal.

  13. Laura had her mike commuted, so to not I'm just

  14. going to start by reading this text. It is zachari

  15. chapter eleven, and it's very important that you pay very

  16. close attention. Listen very carefully, and if you have the

  17. document read along with me. Just take note. You have

  18. to pay attention because if you're not familiar with the text,

  19. it's going to well, you're not going to be able

  20. to realize what's going on here. Starting from Zachari chapter

  21. eleven and verse one, open your doors, oh elevenn let

  22. fire devour your cedars. Well, oh Cyprus, for this has fallen,

  23. because the mighty trees are ruined. Well, o oaks of Bhushan,

  24. for the thick forest has come down. There's the sound

  25. of wailing shepherds, for their glory is in ruins. There's

  26. the sound of roaring lions, for the pride of the

  27. Jordan is in ruin. Thus says the Lord, my God.

  28. Feed the flock for slaughter, whose owners slaughter them and

  29. feel no guilt. Those who sell them, say, blessed be

  30. the Lord, for I am rich, and their shepherds do

  31. not pity them. For I will no longer pity the

  32. inhabitants of the land, says the Lord. But indeed, I

  33. will give everyone into his neighbor's hand and into the

  34. hand of his king. They shall attack the land, and

  35. I will not deliver them from their hand. So I

  36. fed the flock for slaughter. In particular, the poor of

  37. the flock. I took for myself two staffs, the one

  38. I called beauty and the other I called bonds. And

  39. I fed the flock. Then I said, I will not

  40. feed you. Let what is dying die, and what is

  41. perishing parish. Let those who are left eat each other's flesh.

  42. Then I took my staff, beauty and cut it in two,

  43. that I might break the covenant which I had made

  44. with all the peoples. So it was broken on that day.

  45. Thus the poor of the flock, who were watching me,

  46. knew that it was the word of the Lord. Then

  47. I said to them, if it is agreeable to you,

  48. give me my wages, and if not refrain. So they

  49. wait out for my wages thirty pieces of silver. And

  50. the Lord said to me, throw it to the potter

  51. that princely price they set on me. So I took

  52. the thirty pieces of silver and threw it into the

  53. house of the Lord. For the potter, can I cut

  54. my other staff bonds, that I might break the brotherhood

  55. between you and Israel. And the Lord said to me, next,

  56. take for yourself implements for a foolish shepherd. For indeed,

  57. I will raise up a shepherd and the land who

  58. will not care for those who are cut off, nor

  59. seek the young, nor heal those who are broken, nor

  60. feed those that still stand. But he will eat the

  61. flesh of the fat, and tear their hools in pieces.

  62. Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves the flock. A

  63. sword shall be against his arm, and against his right eye.

  64. His arm shall be shall completely witherr, and his right

  65. eye shall be totally blinded. Very convoluted message here. I

  66. mean lots going on, you know, Cherry, Can you come

  67. on and give me your thoughts about this chapter? What's

  68. your impression of it? Or is it just too much

  69. to comment on? What's what's your thoughts sharing?

  70. Well, there is an awful lot there, and and I'm

  71. gonna throw myself out on a limb and hope you're

  72. going to catch trust You're gonna catch me, so right

  73. off the bat. I was reading this morning in Isaiah,

  74. and in one chapter, one verse ten, I was reading

  75. about Sodom and Gamoran. Something struck me that I've never

  76. really thought about before. But the way it talks about

  77. Sodom and Gamor in that first chapter kind of made

  78. me think of, you know, it's it's uh, I don't

  79. really know how to say it. I guess what they

  80. did is what we're doing that makes God so upset

  81. that he destroys them. But I say that because in

  82. the Cedars of Lebanon and the Oaks of Bashan, for

  83. some reason, it's making me think Sodom and Gomorrah. And

  84. I know who the Cedars of Lebanon are and the

  85. oaks of Bashon, or at least I believe that I do.

  86. So there was that, And then the way that yours

  87. is worded is quite different from the like some English

  88. subtu agents. So that part I thought I was kind

  89. of maybe having a grip on it, And then I'm

  90. now I'm not so sure, because I almost hear to

  91. olive trees and two lamp stands there. But then I

  92. think it's when you get down to verse sixteen where

  93. it absolutely sounds like the Assyrian.

  94. So that is to say, there's a whole lot going

  95. on here, isn't there. Yes, And you're able to piece

  96. together some of what he's saying with other places in

  97. the Bible. That's what you're trying to say, quite overwhelm.

  98. Yeah, well I think that I am. I'm not one

  99. hundred percent sure I am.

  100. So take a look another, take another look at the document.

  101. Read for me verse eight.

  102. Hang on, let me get there. Okay, this doesn't have

  103. a verse eight.

  104. Really refresh it, just refresh it.

  105. I wonder, Oh there it is. Okay. It says I

  106. dismissed the three shepherds in one month. My soul loathed them,

  107. and their soul also abhorred me. So I mean these

  108. shepherds are the false shepherds obviously, right.

  109. Well, well, you didn't get it the first time because

  110. I removed the verse. Oh, this is one of those

  111. instances where you could take the verse out and you'll

  112. never know it. Now that I put it back in,

  113. it's probably a sore in everybody's eye because I read

  114. it right through and you never noticed, did you, Well,

  115. you never realized what was going on. So just in

  116. that lets you know that. Boy, there's a whole lot

  117. going on in this chapter.

  118. Yes, in this version here says it quite differently than

  119. the other versions. When it started saying talking about beauty

  120. and it split it into and then the bands and

  121. it split it into that took me and I'm like, oh,

  122. what is that saying there? So I thought I understood,

  123. and now I'm now I am questioning all over again.

  124. So you're questioning all and you should. You should eventually

  125. get to the point where you realize that there's a

  126. whole lot of information here in this chapter. Yes, a

  127. whole lot of information here. So thanks Sherry, thank you

  128. for your comments, thank you for looking at it as

  129. intently that you did. You know, ladies and gentlemen, there's

  130. no doubt we have some serious things going on here.

  131. It's almost too much of a bite to take off. Really,

  132. we should have just tackled the first three verses, because

  133. the first three verses is obviously talking about the angels.

  134. And I say that, you know, whenever I've said that

  135. in the classroom, people that been in the classroom for

  136. a while, We've already talked about the oaks of Bashan

  137. the bulls of Bashan, and I've already been able to

  138. explain them that. Well, you have to understand how celestial

  139. navigation works. All air and nautical almanacs are based off

  140. the location of stars, Ladies and gentlemen. You plot your

  141. position on the globe off of the accompanying stars. That's

  142. how you do it. And you need to understand this.

  143. It was the Paladeans that first did this, and it

  144. was they that first understood that every tree points to

  145. a star. Our twenty three point four degree axial tilt

  146. makes it so that any tree is naturally so far

  147. north of the equator. Of course, this is how celestial navigation,

  148. that's why it's done. That's why the coordinates in the

  149. heaven are based off of twenty four, not three sixty.

  150. So if you go to write ascension, it's got to

  151. be one through twenty four. A lot of people don't

  152. understand that. So every single tree points to a star.

  153. This is why in ancient times, and you'll see this

  154. in the Bible, this idea coming up that people would

  155. go to trees to worship, and they were worshiping whichever

  156. star would pass directly over that tree, because every tree,

  157. like I said, points to a star as we spin.

  158. Okay you can do. Let's say if you go to

  159. my current latitude right now, my latitude and longitude, there

  160. is a group of stars that spin directly over my

  161. head during the course of twenty four years. The ancients

  162. knew this, particularly the Caribbeans knew this. This is why

  163. you have worship always associated with trees. That's why, because

  164. every tree will point to a particular star in any

  165. particular point during the day. You also need to know.

  166. This is the material used to build temples. He's obviously

  167. talking about temple because he mentions the door. So you

  168. need to realize that right off the that it says

  169. open your doors though Lebanon. Why Lebanon. Of course, that's

  170. where the cedars of Lebanon were that provided the wood

  171. for the temple. Why is he giving these physical locations.

  172. Why does he say Lebanon, Well, that's one of the

  173. borders of Israel. Why did he say the Jordan, Well,

  174. that's the border of Israel. That's why why did he

  175. say but Shan a border of Israel? More importantly, the

  176. Promised Land. So the first thing you need to realize

  177. is is he's absolutely relaying this idea to the priest.

  178. He's absolutely relaying this to the priest because they, of

  179. course knew they were worshiping angels. This is why the

  180. bell cycle took place during a particular time of year,

  181. because all depending on where you were at in the

  182. solar year, all dependent on what stars were passing directly

  183. over your head. That's why the bell cycle was done

  184. at a particular time during the year. That's why. So

  185. this should put you on another level when you realize

  186. he's obviously wanting you to see this. Now, there's other prophecies,

  187. of course, not only here, but in the other minor prophets,

  188. and of course in the major profits too. There is

  189. no doubt I mean, especially when you go to Ezekiel

  190. chapter seven, eight nine. There is no doubt what he's

  191. talking about, that these priests we're worshiping the host of heaven.

  192. That's what these false deities are. That's what they are.

  193. They're the falling. So this narrative, you should understand that

  194. set the cone. God is angry with the whole, the

  195. whole mechanation. It's the whole, it's the whole clergy. It's

  196. rotten from top to bottom. It's absolutely rotten from top

  197. to bottom. Let's talk about this, this removable verse, the

  198. missing verse. Why is this in here? Now? I dismiss

  199. three shepherds in one month. My soul loathe them, and

  200. their soul also abhored me. Of course, what he's really

  201. come out out and saying is that these shepherds are

  202. God has not only that he's saying that he hates them,

  203. but it is a it is a very very dire

  204. thing to have God say this of you, that he

  205. knows that you hate his guts.

  206. So to speak.

  207. You know, back when I was growing up, God gets

  208. you in big trouble. You could say that you hated somebody,

  209. but you were not allowed to say that you hated

  210. their guts. That's what he's saying here. And this sets

  211. up the hotel. Why does he do this, Well, he

  212. goes to great links to tell you why he doesn't.

  213. This thing is rotten from the root to the very

  214. tip top of the tree. This whole thing is bad.

  215. This is coming whether you like it or not. You

  216. had Batcher be professing to be in God's flock. You're

  217. saying you're a Christian, You're in God's flock. And he

  218. just said you're going to go through a period that

  219. is not going to be very pleasant. Ladies and gentlemen,

  220. you better come to this reckoning in your mind. The

  221. Lord Jesus Christ was not lying to you in Matthew

  222. chapter twenty four. You are going to go through the

  223. birth banks. You are going to go through the birth pains,

  224. and you need to realize that he's going to give

  225. you other information about this. I mean, let's take note.

  226. Where's the other times that this infamous three comes up?

  227. Because it's all over Bible prophecy. It's not just a

  228. few places. Daniel, chapter seven, verse eight. I was considering

  229. the horns, and there was another horn, a lit to one,

  230. coming up among them, before whom three of the first

  231. horns were plucked out by the roots. And there in

  232. his horn were the eyes, like the eyes of a

  233. man and a mouse, speaking pompous words, very clear, very precise.

  234. There were four, and a little one come up and

  235. ripped out three of them by the horns or by

  236. the roots. Daniel, chapter seven. That's very self, same chapter

  237. in verse twenty and the ten horns that were in

  238. his head, and the other horn which came up before

  239. which three fell, namely that horn which had the eyes

  240. and a mouth, which spoke pompous words, whose appearance was

  241. greater than his fellows. In verse twenty four. The ten

  242. horns are ten kings who arise from this kingdom, and

  243. another shall rise after them. He shall be different from

  244. the first One's an shouts to three kings. Zachariah chapter eleven,

  245. verse eight. The when we just read, God is emphatically

  246. telling you that there is coming a time when the

  247. whole land, and he says all the people here in Hebrew,

  248. he makes himself perfectly clear. A lot of people don't

  249. bring these things out, but you need to take a

  250. look at it. He makes several references here to the

  251. land verse six. Or I will no longer pity the

  252. inhabitants of the land, says the Lord. But indeed, I

  253. will give everyone into his neighbour's hand and to the

  254. hand of his king. They shall attack the land and

  255. will not deliver them from their hand. In Greek, of course,

  256. this is GHI debrew. Here is arats, which can be land,

  257. but the Greek this also means planet, the whole planet.

  258. Here when he says all peoples, take note. You're supposed

  259. to get that, You're supposed to put this into context.

  260. You're supposed to understand that he's talking about everyone on

  261. the planet. Everyone on the planet. Let's take a little

  262. read of some of this again, this time open your

  263. ears to what's really going on. Verse four, Thus says

  264. the Lord, my God, feed the flock for slaughter, whose

  265. owners slaughter them and feel no guilt. Those who sell

  266. them and say, blessed be the Lord, for I am

  267. rich and their shepherds, do not pity them. Think about that.

  268. You might as well be talking about today you might

  269. as will be talking about today's clergy, because this is

  270. how God looks at it. Okay, you need to know

  271. how God looks at it. His place, his house is

  272. supposed to be in your land, wherever you're at. Of course,

  273. we have more than one local church here, no doubt

  274. about it, more than one denomination here where I live.

  275. Take note, this is talking about all peoples. He's getting

  276. ready to say that here in a few verses. And

  277. I assure you that most of the poor people here,

  278. they're not even recognized by the clergy. I mean there's

  279. towns where churches are a diamond dozen. I mean, just

  280. the other day I was asking jose So how many

  281. churches are in Phoenix. They're everywhere. They're literally everywhere. I mean,

  282. if you get your set of white of a phone book,

  283. yellow pages and look it up, they're everywhere. Most of them.

  284. You can't even tell anymore because they will rent a

  285. bandon office space in these strip malls, so they'll be

  286. churches literally everywhere, and people won't even know they're really there.

  287. This is exactly what's being described here on a very

  288. grandiose scale. He's telling you where you're going and what's

  289. going to be happening around you when you get here,

  290. if you're a member of his flock. I mean I

  291. could mention names, but I don't need to. We all

  292. know there are big, main line pastors out there that

  293. are literally millionaires, and there are people that are Christians

  294. in their towns that don't even go to church anymore.

  295. But God sees these people as his people's shepherds. I mean,

  296. think about it. There's a whole lot of Christian parents

  297. tonight that is going to pray because their children will

  298. go to bed hungry, and they'll have to go to

  299. bed and go to sleep fussy. That's a fact. I

  300. don't know this by secondhand news. I know this because

  301. I volunteered at a homeless shelter. And like I said,

  302. you can turn on the TV and see pastors that

  303. are literally raking in millions of dollars. How can that

  304. be possible? How can that be possible when there are

  305. children within one mile of these churches that are going

  306. to bed fussy. These children are going to bed fussy,

  307. and they literally own lear jets. It is this very

  308. thing that Zachariah chapter eleven says provokes God to do

  309. what he does, because make no mistakes about it. I

  310. don't care how powerful you think the Antichrist is. The

  311. Antichrist is not in the Book of Revelation. Look it

  312. up for yourself. The Greek word for Antichrist does not

  313. exist in the Book of Revelation. And no matter how

  314. powerful do you think he is, he does not ache

  315. over the planets. If there's been any point in your

  316. Christian walk that a preacher or a teacher has convinced

  317. you that this anti Christ runs the tribulation, you're daft.

  318. There's just one creator that runs the whost show, just one,

  319. and he has not been created. He's the creator. Everybody

  320. and everything else is differentiated from him. We, including Satan,

  321. are created. This is where the end times begin, right

  322. here in Zachariah chapter eleven. And he gives you fantastic

  323. details as to how that's going to run down. And

  324. he just told you that it's because of these great,

  325. big mainline pastors raking in millions of dollars saying this

  326. very thing, saying this very thing, Blessed be the Lord,

  327. because I'm rich, And they grants around on parade on television,

  328. don't they. God is telling you this is why he

  329. sets up the Bad Shepherd. You're supposed to know from

  330. prophecies in Daniel that this whole planet gets divided into

  331. four horns. You're supposed to know that out of one

  332. of these horns come a little horn. This character right here,

  333. the bad Shepherd. You're supposed to know that Daniel is

  334. very illicit in relaying this information. Especially in Daniel Chapter seven.

  335. He says that four beasts are what's stirred up by

  336. the four spirits of heaven. Now take notes. Some translations

  337. say four winds of heaven. It's the same thing in Hebrew.

  338. It is the little horn comes out of one of

  339. these four beasts, and one of these four beasts exercises

  340. dominion over the other three. That's what's being stated here. Now.

  341. Of course, it's very easy to do this. Today one

  342. of them kind of distracts you, but it's really easy

  343. to do. You basically have the Chinese, you have the Russians,

  344. you have the West, and then you have something different.

  345. It's not a politic, it's a religion. It's the Muslims.

  346. The muslim we call it the Arab world. Everybody knows this.

  347. This is no secret on this planet, no secret God

  348. has given you detailed information as to why we go

  349. through the birth pangs. There is coming an event where

  350. this chapter is going to to play out in real time.

  351. You must go through the birth pangs. And he just

  352. told you why this thing is completely rotten from top

  353. to bottom. You know, if we were to go back

  354. and tell John Wesley, you need to write this name down,

  355. John Wesley. If we were to go back in time

  356. and tell John Wesley that there was coming preachers that

  357. would not give everything for the flock, but would take

  358. everything from the flock, John Wesley would not believe you.

  359. Because at the time when John Wesley rode from place

  360. to place to place, preaching and preaching and preaching and preaching,

  361. that now would have happened no matter what denomination the

  362. preacher was. But today, the bigger the better. I mean,

  363. I've got really big questions to ask people. We're going

  364. to bring this here locally. Here something I'm very familiar with.

  365. There's a great, big church in a local, big town.

  366. It's of a very particular denomination, and you do research

  367. on it and you come up with zeros, Where did

  368. this joker come from that's preaching there? Now? How did

  369. he get the money? Why did the bank loan him

  370. hundreds of millions of dollars to build this auditory. It's

  371. not a church, ladies and gentlemen, it's an auditorium. This

  372. guy was a no name joker from nowhere. Why was

  373. he funded on this level? Do you think they would

  374. ever give me the funding to buy property in a downtown,

  375. major metropolitan area and then all of a sudden, overnight,

  376. I'm famous and on TV. This is happening in real time.

  377. That's exactly what the shepherds are doing. And if you

  378. think God doesn't see it or done, or he doesn't understand,

  379. you've never read Zachariah chapter eleven, because this is why

  380. the birth pains begin. This is why, this is why

  381. verse six is stated. For I will no longer pity

  382. the inhabitants of the land, says the Lord. But indeed

  383. I will give everyone into his neighbor's hand and into

  384. the hand of his king. Wow, that's a direct quote.

  385. I mean, if you know how to read it, that's

  386. the first two writers right there. That's the first two

  387. writers right there, if you know how to read. These

  388. are hard words, but God set them and God is

  389. going to do them. God doesn't lie whether you like

  390. it or not. God doesn't joke. Verse six is really

  391. gonna happen. I want you to digest this verse seven.

  392. So I fed the flock for slaughter, in particular the

  393. poor of the flock I took for myself to staff.

  394. The one I called beauty and the other I called bonds.

  395. And I fed the flock. Ladies and gentlemen. When I

  396. point this out to you, this should be the worst

  397. words you've ever read in your life. Why does God

  398. do this? Because this is first person.

  399. This is God talking. This isn't Zachariah talking. God is

  400. dictating to Zachariah what he's saying. There comes a point

  401. when he dismissed three shepherds in one month. My soul

  402. loathe them, and their soul adhered me. Take note this

  403. fourth one, you'll take note. It didn't mention that one.

  404. It didn't mention the fourth one. This is when God

  405. picks up his aps.

  406. You don't have to like it. This is when the

  407. other three get trampled down by the little horn. This

  408. is when it happens. God does it, and he does

  409. it in one month, and from this point forward, the

  410. bad shepherd runs the show. If you don't know the

  411. prophecy about the rods or the staffs from Ezekiel, where

  412. one is Judah and one is Joseph. Your way behind

  413. the curve. You should have saturated yourself with that text first.

  414. But take note. Let's push forward. Then, I said, I

  415. will not feed you. Let what is dying die, and

  416. what is perishing parish. Let those that are left eat

  417. each other's flesh. And I took my staff beauty and

  418. cut it in two, that I might break the covenant

  419. which I had made with all the peoples. Take note,

  420. this is the first covenant that's broken with the whole

  421. planet everybody. This is everybody this point in time. You're

  422. talking over seven billion people. But take note. It reads

  423. in a way that you really can't see it. But

  424. he says, this is the first covenant which is broken.

  425. What does this mean at this point forward? You should

  426. be very worried. It's the only reason why you're alive.

  427. It amazes me when I talk to people, they take

  428. so many things for granted. For instance, a simple law

  429. of adhesion and cohesion. You completely take it for granted.

  430. You think that God had been entuned on his throne,

  431. and he has to he has to enact this law

  432. and enforce this law of adhesion and cohesion. Let me

  433. ask you a question, do you need anything about soil

  434. composition or what makes ground fertile or not not? A

  435. lot of people are underneath the misconception that it's all

  436. due to the acidity. You know that some of the

  437. soil isn't acid enough, and other soils too. Ask none, no, no, no,

  438. no no, try this on for size. You better know

  439. and understand this. Alls you would have to do is

  440. take soil and invert those things which were in it

  441. that were adhesive, change it to cohesive, and those things

  442. which were cohesive in it, switch it to be an adhesive.

  443. Then the water molecule would adddhere to different things that

  444. would completely change everything in that strata of soil. But

  445. for some reason, people think, people think in their minds

  446. that God just has to do these things. Take for instance,

  447. ladies and gentlemen, you've looked in the ditches after a

  448. good hard rain, right, and there's mud poddles everywhere. Right.

  449. Don't you have the wherewith understand that? Why? Surface? All?

  450. No reason? Why? Within one year, all the way up

  451. to the foot of the mountains, it all turned to

  452. mud and just wash away. Do I have your attention?

  453. Are you not aware of how much more water there

  454. is on the surface of the planet than dirt, because

  455. surely you've been child and plated mud puddles. Surely you

  456. realize if you go out to your backyard right now,

  457. take a handspade, get the dirt away, take a little

  458. bity hole, and take one glass of water and pour

  459. into that hole and see what happens. Ladies and gentlemen,

  460. the Rocky Mountain shouldn't be there, because within three years

  461. they should have turned to mud, and the tide should

  462. have just kept washing away. It would have washed away California.

  463. It would have been at the root of the Rocky Mountains.

  464. It would eventually washed because it all should have turned

  465. to mud. Why do all of you think that God

  466. is entuned upon his throne, No, he's not. This verse

  467. just said there's coming a time when He's going to

  468. break his covenant with all the peoples and ladies and gentlemen.

  469. He no longer has to keep a habitable envice for you.

  470. He never did. For some reason, people've never done enough

  471. scientific research to have ever done the double blind experience

  472. experiment with the light Ladies you know, I may prove

  473. a whole long time ago with these slits and a

  474. beam of light that when they would move the detector,

  475. all of a sudden, it would stop acting like a

  476. wave and would act like a particle. Now they've invented

  477. all this stuff called quantum mechanics to try to explain

  478. it away. But this much is true. You can do

  479. this experiment yourself with the double slits and the double blind,

  480. using equipment to record it. And when you do, when

  481. you try to record what the light is doing, it'll change.

  482. You need to understand that this thing extenuates to everything.

  483. It's quite simply put this way. God said let there

  484. be life, and that's the way it's going to be

  485. until he says otherwise. You think in your mind that

  486. the reason why there's life on this planet is because

  487. we inhabit the Goldilock zone around our star were the

  488. perfect distance from your star, and it's because of that

  489. that we have water here in all three phases gas, liquid,

  490. and solid. You think it's because of that. No, no, no, no,

  491. no no. The habitable zone around our star is only

  492. where the earth lies because God says so, no other reason.

  493. Consider what I just said when he says, he breaks

  494. his covenant with all the people. He no longer has

  495. to enforce the laws of physics to create a biosphere

  496. around you. We know this emphatically from Revelation chapter nine,

  497. where he orders death to flee from us. That is

  498. proof positive that obviously he removes a habitable environment from us.

  499. This verse should have you worried? Verse eleven, so it

  500. was broken on that day. That's the gore of the flock?

  501. Who will watching me? Knew that it was the word

  502. of the Lord? Does this verse have you worried? You know?

  503. This is twice he's mentioned the poor of the flock.

  504. He did so in verse seven too, And it is they,

  505. and only they, who knew the gig was up. So

  506. those of you out there that have all your hearts

  507. content invested in your retirement, you might want to second

  508. guess that decision right now, because as of right now,

  509. you completely have the time to hash out those four

  510. one ks. Now, sell those properties that right now you

  511. know you're just claiming them as a tax rite off.

  512. Right this abandoned office space that you write off on

  513. your taxes, Right now you have time to cash all

  514. that in and start feeding hungry mouths. You need to

  515. start answering prayers. Consider this. When you know of a

  516. family in need, especially parents in need, and meet their need,

  517. guess who's the first person they tell. Don't be stupid

  518. and don't be misled. I know because I've been there.

  519. The first thing I did was thank God. I told

  520. him first. God is saying there is coming a time,

  521. this magical window of time, that the poor of the

  522. flock would know the gig was up. He's pointed them

  523. out twice to you before he ever mentioned the bad Shepherd.

  524. It amazes me how today nobody preaches the coming of Christ.

  525. Nobody preaches it man, nobody preaches that you're supposed to

  526. live for Jesus Christ today, not tomorrow. You're not supposed

  527. to go to work and clock in and work for

  528. your retirement. You're supposed to work for the Lord Jesus Christ.

  529. New Testament comes right out and says that whatever you do,

  530. work as if working for the Lord, not for men.

  531. A lot of you have way more than and I have,

  532. and you don't even have possession of it, do you.

  533. I remember one of the conversations I was having with

  534. a sibling in Christ and they had over ten ten

  535. thousand dollars CDs that they just roll over. So at

  536. this point, now that the distance between when we had

  537. that conversation and now, I'm sure they've got several thousand

  538. more sets of ten thousand dollars CDs they just accumulated,

  539. so they're not in possession of it. They just have

  540. it just to have it. And I don't understand why

  541. they do it. It amazes me that it's like a

  542. hunger that if it manifested itself by way of physical hunger,

  543. they would literally kill themselves eating. They would eat themselves

  544. to death. They would I'm sure first or intestines, and

  545. then of course the inevitable would happen. I don't understand it.

  546. I mean, I just drove one of my I better

  547. be careful how I say that. Yeah, I just drove

  548. by a person's house that I'm familiar with, and I

  549. know how many people live in that house. They had

  550. three times as many vehicles as people in the house.

  551. Now they're all different types of vehicles. Make no mistake. Look,

  552. I'm trying to get your attention, and I'm not saying

  553. that having I better be careful what I say. I'm

  554. just telling you that this chapter has told you twice

  555. that the core of his flock would be curvy to

  556. what he's doing, and the other ones he would be

  557. mad at. And you have this opportunity right now. Choose

  558. that have that opportunity. Staff this let's straight forward. But

  559. I have to point that out to you because I

  560. don't need to be judged for it later first twelve.

  561. Then I said to them, if it is agreeable to you,

  562. give me my wages, and if not, refrained. So they

  563. weighed out my wages thirty pieces of silver, and the

  564. Lord said to me, throw it to the potter. Take note,

  565. you better figure out that this translation is. Yeah, this

  566. Hebrew word means to make potter. It means to fire.

  567. That's why the septilogen here has furnace. So I appreciate

  568. that the new King James version reached potter here, and

  569. that is a fairly good translation. But you need to

  570. know what it's saying here. He's saying the thirty pieces

  571. of silk is going to be recast into something else.

  572. That's what's being said here. The English reads like, you know,

  573. you're just giving to this this money to a person

  574. that makes pottery for a living. No, he's saying, give

  575. it to the furnace. And then he says something very strange.

  576. That princely prize they set on me. So I took

  577. the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the

  578. house of the Lord for the potter, ladies and gentlemen.

  579. Since when is there a kiln? That's what we would

  580. call that in today's terms. Since when is there a

  581. film in the house of the Lord. Now take note,

  582. he's not telling you what they're gonna make with the

  583. thirty pieces of silver. He never said that. That never

  584. escaped his mouth. He never what it was they were

  585. going to make with it. I mean, get ready to write.

  586. You need to write this down in the Hebrew. You

  587. need to look this up in the strongest concordance. It's

  588. h thirty three thirty five. It means to mold into

  589. a form. It means to put something in a kiln.

  590. That's why it says potter here. Now you switch over

  591. to the subtuagent, and you need to take a good

  592. look at this. You know, let's do this. Where is

  593. this word used in other places in the subtuagent? That

  594. should be very eye opening, and indeed it is. Yeah,

  595. read this from the subtuagent from First Kings chapter eight

  596. fifty one. Because we are thy people whom thou brought

  597. out of the land of Egypt from the of the

  598. iron furnace. Take note here it's not translated Potter. Let's

  599. try Malicky chapter three, verse two. And who can abide

  600. the day of his coming? Or who can stand his appearance?

  601. Since he is coming like the fire of a refiner's furnace,

  602. ding ding bing bing bing, that's the word, And like

  603. the soap of the fullers. Let's just cut to the chase.

  604. God goes ahead and tells you what they're gonna take

  605. the thirty pieces of silver and make intwo He's already

  606. told you what they're gonna make with that. And if

  607. you don't remember, well, I'm sorry about that. But once again,

  608. the teachers and preacher from today, they don't want to

  609. relay who it is that makes what you know. It's

  610. amazing to me how people forget simple verses. Revelation chapter thirteen,

  611. verse fourteen. And he deceives those who dwell on the

  612. earth by whose signs, which she was granted to do

  613. in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell

  614. on the earth can make an image to the beast

  615. who was wounded by the sword and lived. I hope

  616. you realize this also comes from Zachariah chapter eleven. I've

  617. already read it to you. If you didn't know this

  618. was what Zachariah eleven was talking about, it's because you

  619. never have been taught Zachariah chapter eleven. I don't care

  620. if you've heard somebody speak of it before now or not,

  621. because this is existentially, I can pull apart the Hebrew

  622. and the Greek and just run massive connection to these

  623. two chapters in the original language verse fourteen zachari chapter eleven.

  624. Then I cut my other staff bonds that I might

  625. break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel. I hope all

  626. of you are New Testament Christians, because that's the only

  627. type of Christians that there is in existence. By the way,

  628. you are not a Christian by any other way than

  629. through the knowledge provided by the New Testament. That's it,

  630. and you need to know that Romans nine, ten and

  631. eleven existentially dictates to you we Christians are Israel. There's

  632. two types of Christians per those chapter. First there's Jewish Christians,

  633. and then there's everybody else. Romans chapter eleven in the

  634. Greek dictates. This is called fulfillment theology. Because there's a

  635. whole bunch of Jews out there that have rejected the Messiah.

  636. They are cut off, and we Gentiles who believe we

  637. are grafted in, and God just said that during the

  638. birth pains, this is going to come undone. Have you

  639. never heard this before, because surely you've heard of dispensationalism,

  640. haven't you. I mean, I just listened to a short

  641. segment today, this very day, from of course, a big

  642. time ministry saying that all Jews were going to be

  643. automatically saved, even the ones that they know have murdered

  644. all these children. Here in present times, it's been released

  645. in mainstream news. Imagine if you will, those Israeli perpetrators

  646. that have murdered these children. I mean, you need to

  647. get videos of it, don't I mean, you don't have

  648. to believe me. I mean, it's causing quite consternation right

  649. now in our own government. I mean, our vice president

  650. was supposed to preside over this speech from the leader

  651. of the Israeli Empire, and as a matter fact, when

  652. he was just just announced into this meeting, the government

  653. official called Benjamin Netanya, who's something that he shouldn't have

  654. called him. Anyway, Ladies and gentlemen, you need to know

  655. that I don't care what color or how tall a

  656. person may be. If you're not saved in the Lord

  657. Jesus Christ, you're doomed. More importantly, I'll go one further

  658. step so you understand what I'm trying to say. You're damned.

  659. You're damned if you do not seek the free gift

  660. of salvation through Jesus Christ, our Lord. And you need

  661. to know that this is saying that in the end

  662. times there's going to be great, big ministries promoting the Jews,

  663. and most of Western Christianity does this very thing. I mean,

  664. oh my goodness, how many whole denominations have been established

  665. here just within the past ten years on the Hebrew

  666. Rich movement. Have you never heard somebody address this? In

  667. Zachari chapter eleven, God stating this that during the birth pains,

  668. he's gonna You better know it's coming, and you also

  669. better know there's nothing you could do about it. You

  670. better know that he's also prophetically telling you something else.

  671. Judah is the ones who are supposed to be ruling

  672. over Israel. It is from Judah that the Messiah came,

  673. and you should already know if you've studied Ezekiel's chapter

  674. seven eighty nine. Judah prophetically, once again, we're back to

  675. the clergy. And of course, if you had the wherewithal

  676. to realize that God repeatedly calls the Messiah his shepherd,

  677. so you should realize that God is saying more than

  678. one thing when he speaks in this chapter. And you

  679. need to know this going forward. It's important. And the

  680. Lord said to me, next, take for yourself the implements

  681. of a foolish shepherd. For indeed, I will rise up

  682. a shepherd in the land who will not care for

  683. those who are cut off, nor seek the young, nor

  684. heal those that are broken, nor feed those that still stand.

  685. But he will eat the flesh and the fat, and

  686. tear their hooves into pieces. This, of course, is the

  687. very one I already talked about from Revelation chapter thirteen.

  688. Here's your false prophet, here's your little horn right here.

  689. Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves the flock. A

  690. sword shall be against his arm and against his right eye.

  691. His arms shall completely withered, and his right eye shall

  692. be totally blinded ladies and gentlemen. This is the fatal wound.

  693. You need to realize that. You need to realize that

  694. if Zachariah chapter eleven hadn't been written, and we only

  695. had Revelation chapter thirteen, it would really be quite confusing

  696. as to what's going on here, as to most importantly,

  697. why it's being allowed to happen. But Zachariah chapter eleven

  698. explains that to you why it's happening. I mean, surely

  699. you all have the wherewithal to understand that your clergy

  700. is supposed to be is supposed to be shepherding the

  701. flock of the Lord Jesus Christ. Guess what they're not.

  702. This is why we go through the birth pangs. This

  703. is why there's a great tribulation. You need to know that.

  704. All right, let me ask if anybody has any questions

  705. or comments. Anybody, No, I've stunned into everybody into silence,

  706. So I find that hard to believe.

  707. H it's pretty cut and dried. I'd say, well.

  708. Think about what you said in the beginning of this program, Sherry.

  709. Did I cover any of those things? Yeah?

  710. I think you did.

  711. Did you expect me to talk about the image of

  712. the beast.

  713. Yes, I did.

  714. Wow, you did. I'm impressed. Wow, I must have done it.

  715. Go ahead, I'm gonna say it was in that after

  716. the tariffim. You know, so that that that's there, the tariffim.

  717. So we were talking about, Yes, yes.

  718. It is. Of course you're gonna have to fall still,

  719. everybody in what you're talking about? What's the terrafim? I mean,

  720. if you're a Baptist and you went to church this

  721. past Sunday and you've been getting a series about the

  722. Book of Revelation, they have no idea what a terrafim is,

  723. so so fill them in. What's a terrafim?

  724. You remember when Rachel stole the idols from her father's

  725. house and sat on them, and then she ended up

  726. being cursed by Jacob because of that.

  727. That's the terrifim that she stole from the house. Exactly, Yes,

  728. exact a mundo. That's it. Yep. So anybody else, nobody? Interesting?

  729. Well, I just I kind of want to talk about

  730. the Isaiah one and kind of eight to ten because

  731. it seems to be a reflection of everything that we

  732. just went over. Really, but I think it takes it

  733. kind of a step further. I don't know. It smacked

  734. me in the face and seemed to make things really

  735. clear to me.

  736. I don't see no reason why we can't read it,

  737. because it absolutely does. It's just that, you know, it's

  738. already nine past the top of the hour, but that

  739. doesn't But that doesn't matter because we're in a fellowship.

  740. So if you've got it ready, go ahead and read it.

  741. Why what translation are you going to be reading out of.

  742. I'm going to be reading from the like some English

  743. ship to a gent.

  744. Okay, very good, I'm gonna call it.

  745. At verse eight of chapter one of Isaiah, the daughter

  746. of Zion will be left behind like a tent in

  747. a vineyard, and like a garden's watcher's hut in a

  748. cucumb like a besieged city. And if the Lord Sabiel

  749. had not left us, see, we would have become like Sodom,

  750. and we would have been made like Gomorrah. Then this

  751. is a part that really struck me. Hear the word

  752. of the Lord rulers of Sodom pay attention to the

  753. law of God, people of Gomorrah. And then he goes

  754. on and the rest of the chapter, and he's talking

  755. about like you said, you know, take care of the orphans,

  756. take care of the widows. And if you do these things,

  757. then there might be hope for you, you know. But I mean,

  758. he's when he says, hear the word of the lord

  759. rulers of Sodom, and I thought, that is the perversion

  760. of the word by these false shepherds. Pay attention to

  761. the law of God people of Gomorrah, so they perverted

  762. the law. They're not doing these things, which is what

  763. led to the destruction of Sodomanngamorra. And it does say

  764. in the Bible in the Last Days that it will

  765. be like Sodomngamora.

  766. Can you reread the part where you said about abandoned,

  767. abandoned watchers huts.

  768. Uh that in verse eight, the daughter of person will

  769. be left behind like a tent in a vineyard, and

  770. like a garden watcher's hut in a cucumber bed, like

  771. a besieged city.

  772. It just made me think about, you know, those who

  773. didn't keep their lofty places, who weren't in their abode.

  774. I don't know. It just made me think, you know,

  775. they left their.

  776. Places.

  777. I don't know, I just kind of shortens them. It

  778. also kind of makes me think of when he said

  779. that those days were shortened and for a reason, so

  780. the very would not be deceived.

  781. Well, Sherry, to me, it said the same thing. But

  782. of course it should because we're in Isaiah chapter one.

  783. And take note the word Sodom is used in the

  784. Book of Revelation. Right, we've talked about that many times.

  785. That place, that place that is figuratively Sowdom and Egypt. Yeah,

  786. that's why he's that's why he's talking about this right here.

  787. And you're right, at this point, we have time to

  788. look after that which God wants us to look after, right.

  789. I've said that, yes, and I cannot impress that upon

  790. everybody enough. You know, I don't need to go on

  791. and on about it. I don't need to to be

  792. labor the I've said it once. That's enough. Most of

  793. you know exactly what I'm talking about. But you need

  794. to know Zachariah chapter eleven, you need to understand this

  795. that at the Great White Throne judgment, this is God's

  796. trump card against you. By God, you did know, Oh

  797. yes you did. Now I'm going to be there with

  798. you at the Great White Throne judgment. So when he

  799. looks over at me, I'm gonna throw my hands up

  800. and I'm gonna say I did tell them Lord, and

  801. he's going to point his finger at you, and he's

  802. going to say, yes, you did know, Oh, yes you did.

  803. I mean you have time. You better know where your

  804. tithe is going, because I've already told you that I've

  805. already caught Mike. Actually, a portion of it was going

  806. to support planned uh planned parenthood. We sent it to

  807. the district, and the district sent it here and sent

  808. it there, and oh my goodness, it took me weeks

  809. to figure out where because nobody wanted to tell me

  810. the truth. You know, I don't know. I don't know

  811. how to relay that information to you. If you think

  812. you're going to get away with writing your weekly tithe

  813. check handing it over to somebody that's supporting plan uh

  814. uh planned parenthood and the murder of babies, I don't

  815. know why you think you're going to get away with that.

  816. But you're delusional, and I don't know why you think that.

  817. You know, if you own a bunch of rental property

  818. that's sitting vacant just so you can have a acts

  819. right off, I don't know where you think God's happy

  820. with that when there are literally parents this very night

  821. in your zip code that's going to be crying out

  822. to God because they've put their kids to bed and

  823. they're fussy because they're hungry. I suggest you put whatever

  824. translation you want, and I really don't care which translation is.

  825. Make it even a paraphrase, I don't care. You better

  826. memorize it, and you better know one understand this. The

  827. only ones who are going to be aware of what

  828. timeframe there is is going to be the core of

  829. the flook. I mean, I don't even know any preachers

  830. alive today that even have defined to the Lord's sheep

  831. what it is that makes you wealthy, because it's not

  832. having three vehicles when you can only drive one of

  833. them at a time. That's not what makes you wealthy.

  834. If you think something else gives you value outside of

  835. the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ that he willingly

  836. and freely gave for you, you're delusional. You are flat delusional.

  837. But guess what, on the Great Day of the Lord,

  838. you're gonna figure it out because that's what he says,

  839. and you need to know why he picks up an axe.

  840. That's why he wrote Zachariah chapter eleven. And you also

  841. need to know it's from this chapter that comes the

  842. image of the beast. And you will make it. Oh,

  843. yes you will, God said, So anything else, anybody, I mean,

  844. all of you know we're not bound for time here.

  845. I mean, I think Sherry remembers when we went on

  846. for seven and a half hours one shot. If all,

  847. if you were having questions or having insecurities, by all means,

  848. let's talk it away. You may not get another chance.

  849. I mean, consider this. You do need to know this.

  850. I have an abscessed tooth, which right now it's flared

  851. up again because this happened to what three weeks ago.

  852. I can't get in to get the root canal until

  853. August the fourteenth. So I called the dentists today to

  854. get more antibiotic because my face is swelling up again.

  855. And they said no. I said, yeah, but how do

  856. you expect me to make it all the way to

  857. August fourteenth without missing work? Well just take ibuprof and

  858. a title and all. That's what the dentist told me.

  859. So surely all of you have the wherewithal to understand

  860. that it's highly likely that at that time, at this rate,

  861. I could wind up going into septic shock. So if

  862. you have a questquestion, you might want to ask me now,

  863. because I don't care to be here now. I would

  864. rather I would rather be in paradise with those I

  865. belong with, because I really don't know a whole lot

  866. of people here that I belong with. Jamie, why don't

  867. you come and pray us out of here tonight there,

  868. because I'm worse.
