099 The Dragon, The Host of Heaven, and The Princes of The Sea

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

inspired, in errant, and infallible? If so, like, share,

subscribe and support this podcast. So we are Mere Nathal Ministries and now Redemption

Draweth Nighe. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the program. We

are your host Jose and Matthew. Tonight. It is Jose that picked the

topic, so I think I'll just pass it off to him and let him

explain and give insight as to what we're doing tonight. Jose, Well,

Matthew, this came up for me when you did a fellowship with the Ecclesia

and you discussed the devil, Satan and the dragon and how it's used in

the Hebrew and in Greek throughout the Bible. And that's a real good study

that everyone should check out. And there's lots of important things that you guys

discussed through Matthew. But this coincided with, of course, like it always

does. As you were, as you guys were discussing these things, I

was reading Ezekiel. Specifically, I was reading the parts of Ezekiel where it

speaks about tire and so as I was listening to the program. I heard

a lot of similar phrasing as I was reading in Ezekiel chapter twenty six,

and so that of course piqued my interest and set me to go to go

reread it with new eyes, with new ears, Matthew. And as I

was reading through Ezekiel twenty six, I could not help but see the comparisons

to what God says about the dragon in the Book of Revelation. And that's

what I'm hoping that we'll cover today. Good stuff, good stuff. The

first thing I seen that your first part of the text you sent me was

was Ezekiel chapter twenty six, and I immediately smiled because that's a trilogy,

right, because ladies do let's just go there real quick, and you understand

that it's actually the prophecy is actually twenty six, twenty seven, and twenty

eight. It's a trilogy prophecy. And I'm going to share something with you

right now that especially those you know, all these people out there that study

Bible prophecy for twenty years, right, you need to know something. This

is very important. I'm going to read you Ezekiel twenty six, verse one

now in the eleventh year. Now in the eleventh year, of course,

this is about Taier. Twenty seven is about Taier, and twenty eight is

about about Taier. When we go to twenty nine, this is about Egypt,

says in the tenth year. So if you didn't know that Ezekiel's not

in chronological order to the prophecy, you you don't It is safe to say

you probably don't know very much. But you do need to know this.

I mean, we do at least need to share with you this because most

of those so called Bible prophecy experts, they only talk about Ezekiel twenty eight

correct, hose correct is the only time you hear them say that, and

they never they never let on to the simple fact that they don't know.

This prophecy is the end of the prophecy that started two chapters earlier. The

beginning of all this prophecy is twenty six. So just stating that, ladies

and gentlemen, you need to realize that most of you know what I'm talking

about. It says that you know, the Prince of Kyir was the anointed

Cherub, that covereth all that's in twenty eight. If you didn't never get

at of the information from the first two chapters, you don't know anything.

You think you do, but you don't. You were given just a little

sliver, well one third, right, I mean, you'd have to say

right off the surface that you only knew one third of the total narrative,

no matter what you did, no matter how much you learned about Ezeko's chapter

twenty eight, it was only ever one third of it. And if you

you know, going to the next step, if you didn't know that this

was not in chronological order, and you can actually take Ezekiel and put it

in chronologue order, you didn't know that, well that's probably very good news.

But I need to tell you this now before we get started. You

don't come to mount and off of ministries to be entertained. You come here

to be edified. And you can only do that one way. You need

something to write with and something to write on. So if you don't have

those things, you need to go get them right now, because this prophecy

of Ezekiel chapter twenty six, in Revelation chapter twelve, Relation sep. Thirteen

Relation Chapter twenty it's there's a fantastic of information here that you just can't remember

off the top of your head. If I can't remember it off the top

of my head after this much time, I assure you you need something to

write with and something to write on. So Jose, you've got the mic.

Take us where we might go. All right, Matthew, let's just

jump into Ezekiel twenty six, and I think I'm just going to read the

whole thing for us. We'll take it as a whole chunk, so we

can see the whole prophecy, and then and then we can we can piece

it apart from their Matthews, that sound good. That sounds perfect to me.

All right, So I'm reading out of the New King James Ezekiel,

chapter twenty six. And it came to pass in the eleventh year, on

the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to

me, saying, son of Man, because Tier has said against Jerusalem,

Aha, she has broken who was the gateway of the peoples. Now she

has turned over to me. I shall be filled. She is laid waste.

Therefore, it thus says the Lord God, Behold, I am against

you, oh Tier, And it will cause many nations to come up against

you, as the sea causes what causes its waves to come up, and

they shall destroy the walls of tier and break down her towers. I will

also scrape her dust from her and make her like the top of a rock.

It shall be a place for spreading nets in the midst of the sea.

For I have spoken, says the Lord God. It shall become plunder

for the nations. Also her daughter villages, which are in the fields,

shall be slain by the sword. They shall know that I am the Lord.

For thus says the Lord God. Behold, I will bring against Taiir

from the north, Nebukud Nezar, king of Babylon, King of kings,

with horses, with chariots, and with horsemen, and an army with many

people. He will slay with the sword your daughter villages in the fields.

He will heap up a siege mound against you, build a wall against you,

and raise a defense against you. He will direct this battering rams against

your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers. Because

of the abundance of his horses, their dust will cover you. Your walls

will shake at the noise of the horsemen, the wagons, and the chariots.

When he enters your gates, as men enter a city that has been

breached with the hoofs of his horses, he will trample all your streets.

He will slay your people by the sword, and your strong pillars will fall

to the ground. They will plunder your riches and pillage your merchandise. They

will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses. They will lay your

stones, your timber, and your soil in the midst of the water.

I will put an end to the sound of your songs, and the sound

of your harps shall be heard no more. I will make you like the

top of a rock. You shall be a place for spreading nets. You

shall never be rebuilt, for either lord has spoken, says the Lord God.

Thus says the Lord God the tie year. Will the coastlands not shake

at the sound of your fall, when the wounded cry? When slaughter is

made in the midst of you, Then all the princes of the sea will

come down from their thrones, lay aside their robes, and take off their

embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling. They will sit on the

ground, tremble every moment and be astonished at you. And they will take

up a lamentation for you, and say to you, how have you perished,

Oh, one inhabited by seafaring men, Oh renowned city who is strong

at sea, she and her inhabitants, who cause their terror to be on

all her inhabitants. Now the coastlands tremble on the day of your fall.

Yes, the coastlands by the sea are troubled at your departure. For thus

says the Lord God. When I make you a desolate city, like cities

that are not inhabited, when I bring the deep upon you and great waters

cover you, then I will bring you down with those who descend into the

pit, to the people of old. I will make you dwell in the

lowest part of the earth, in places desolate from antiquity, with those who

go down to the pit, so that you may never be inhabited, and

I shall establish glory in the land of the living. I will make you

a terror, and you shall be no more. Though you are sought for,

you will never be found again, says the Lord God. Well,

boy, that's that sounds that sounds pretty harsh, and to the point,

doesn't it. Yes, And you know, one of the amazing things about

this is this actually happened, and everybody needs to realize that tire was an

island. The present city comprises is actually built a lot of upon the causeway

that Alexander the Great built out to it to destroy it. So you need

to know that right now most of the city is on the silt that,

of course due to title action just increase just filled in around that causeway that

Alexander built. So you need to understand that that that this that this island

did sink into the sea. It's it is in the depths, literally,

so this original island is gone. You can literally go out now and see

its remains underneath the water. So let's say that first and foremost, that

something is massively at play here. And I like from the very beginning how

it puts that the state's very strange things of Jerusalem. I mean, why

does it say this about she being the gateway of the peoples? What what

do you make of that? Jose Well, Matthew, this this kind of

this brings up to me, this a remembrancer of what happened in the garden,

Matthew, where you have all the promises given to Adam and Eve,

and then the serpent comes in there and usurps it and through trickery manages to

steal everything that was supposed to be given to Adam, and then he ends

up taking over dominion of the earth. And this is exactly that's what comes

to mind when I read those verses. Matthew, Well, I mean it

would have to after you read the Book of Hebrews, right right. I

mean, God goes through great links to explain to you that it's because of

this that Christ is the new Adam. Amen. That's the whole reason,

and this is the whole reason why Satan has dominion over us. This is

the very reason. And you're right, this is literally using the same phraseology

from that gal instance. There's there's no there's no denying that. And well,

this this makes it kind of it broadens the playing field. You realize

he's speaking prophetically because certainly this city was not thrown into Tutaris, it was

not thrown into the Abyss. Yet he's using phraseology here to do set up

in your mind things that not only happened, but things that are going to

happen. Okay, let me ask this question. Okay, this prophecy started

out in the eleventh year, the eleventh year of what, Jose, I'm

not sure Matthew, So everybody would agree that we'd have to go. Well,

surely this diatribe starts somewhere in is he deeel? Right? Yep,

Okay, how does Ezekiel start out? Now? It came about in the

thirteenth year, on the fifth day of the fourth month, while I was

by the river Kabar among the exiles, that the heavens were opened and I

saw the visions of God. This happened after the invasion. We know that

they were deported for seventy years, right, right, this is eleven years

after Nebuknezar. That's when this prophecy takes place. So we know stretching into

long count. Alexander didn't show up to Tire for quite some time, right,

So obviously there's more at play here, and especially so I mean now

that everybody realizes, wait a minute, I didn't realize that was that's what

Ezekiel was about. Yes, Ezekiel is about the building of the Second Temple.

It is it is during the seventy years. These prophecies are all given

by dates like I've already exemplified, and they're not in chronological order, which

which should tell you something. So we have a lot more here at play,

Jose than anybody's. Well, let me just ask you, I ask

you this question. So many times have you heard any Bible you know,

teachings whatever on Ezekiel chapter twenty six? No, Matthew, you can find

them to nauseum to nauseum about Ezekiel twenty eight, but not about Ezekiel twenty

six. Yes, when this is using phraseology that is also attributed to Babylon,

right right, because it's Babylon that's surrounded by many waters. Correct,

yes, but this phraseology is being applied to Kayir here. It does everything

but come out and say it. But yes, if you was going to

say that any place was surrounded by many waters, there's only one city on

the planet, like on the entire planet like that, or was Kayir?

It wasn't an island nation like Cyprus. This is one city. It was

one fortified rock. It was a single fourtified rock. So we're definitely seeing

the same phraseology here, right, Yep, We're we're seeing the same phraseology

attributed to Taire as we see later or earlier, whichever way you will look

at it, about Babylon. So you've got this hide somehow to that dragon.

Right, something something about this chapter triggered remembrancers in you that plug this

into the dragon. Can you can you describe that that tie? Yes,

yes, First thing I want to say, Matthew, is that Tire itself

is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities on the planet. I mean,

I know they they they've traced it back to at least at least ninth century

BC, when when it gained prominent, when it began to gain prominence being

a Phoenician city. But I'm sure it goes back further than that. So

so that's our starting point there, Matthew. This is not you know,

a city state that was established, you know, late on the timeline.

This was this was one of the first ones established. And secondly, the

phraseology that we were reading about, where we see how this city Tire is

cast down, and not only cast down, is cast down into the pit.

And of course, Matthew, that reminded me of a lot of the

way the Dragon is referred to in the Book of Revelation. Now you've mentioned

before that biblically, when we speak about cities, yes, we're talking about

physical, physical locations on the planet. You know where there are in reference

to to you know, the rest of the geographical graphical locations that we read

about. But we've also said, Matthew, that those cities also represent constellations.

And you can see this most clearly if you look at a you know,

a picture of taken of Earth when when the sun is not shining on

that side of the planet, you'll see all these cities lit up, and

it looks like stars. It looks like a You just can't you can't get

around it. And so if we if we take a step back and try

to reference the city of Tier in the heavens, could it could this be

speaking about that constellation Draco, Matthew, that we know is going to fall,

that we know is currently our north star? Is that? Is that

what this is telling us about? I would say, and I would argue

in a court of law, it's absolutely talking about that. Because God's word

is polycemic, amen, And most people don't realize that, I mean they

do. I mean. The best example we can give, and I always

give it is the simple fact that Jose in the Book of Revelation, when

it talks about the lamb and the lamb that was slain. Who's the lamb

Jesus, and it can be no one else, right, it is the

passover Lamb. It is the Lord Jesus Christ, thereby establishing a simple fact

that God's word is not literal. God's word is not prophetic. God's words

not allegorical. It's all those things. It's polycenic. It means more than

one thing. So absolutely everything that come out of your mouth, we could

absolutely establish that, and you would absolutely be able to establish this. Let's

just say from what would be a good place in this area. Ah,

yes, you know the most famous mountain there and everybody knows about the famous

mountain that the angels fell at in the Book of Enich. Take note if

you used to ascend those three peaks, because it's a series of three peaks,

and look down on the valley at Israel, this is exactly what you

would have seen, all of the lamb, all the night torches however you'd

like to call it would have looked like a constellation on the ground. Everybody

knows this, So you know, I appreciate that that. Jose brings up

the simple fact that you know, when you get the aerial photography from orbit,

it's pretty cool how you can see that the cities lay out just like

constellations, and yes they really do. And yes, this is why the

Bible repeatedly talks about all of the high places to ball being ware Jose on

the tops of the hills and mountains. Right, yes, and this is

exactly what they were doing. We have all the historical archaeological research to prove

this, so it's non debatable what they were doing up there in the evening

and in the morning during twilight, that is twice a day at twilight,

because that's when you could mark off the evening and the morning stars. That's

when you do it is at twilight. So this is why they were performing

their sacrifices to the host of heaven at twilight. That's why they sacrificed to

the evening stars and the morning stars. So those stars, well, let's

just cut to the chase the planets. There are planets that present themselves as

morning stars and evening stars. So what you're saying is absolutely correct. And

the thing about it is, I mean, we can't get too deep in

this, but the Bible is pretty clear. Utilizing polycemic interpretation, you can

see where prophecies are talking about that. Well, the North Pole star is

going to move because God is not only going to orientate this planet, He's

going to do the entire soul system. He's going to reorientate the inclination of

the solar system, and it's going to a specific place that he prophesies in

Genesis. So in we realize that and you tie this together, you're like,

oh, my goodness, he's talking about Satan. Now, why would

he be referring this way to the Phoenicians. What's your thoughts about that,

jose Well, Matthew, I think if I do a little bit of reading

in Revelation twelve, I think we can get a good idea of why God

is associating this with the Phoenicians. So I'm going to jump over there to

Revelation to twelve and I'll read. I'll start in verse three, Okay,

And another sign appeared in heaven. Behold a great, fiery red dragon,

having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. His

tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth.

And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth,

to devour her child. As soon as it was born. She bore a

male child who was to rule all the nations with the rod of iron,

and her child was caught up to God and his throne. Then the woman

fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that

they should feed her there. One two hundred and sixty days and war broke

out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought with the dragon, and the

dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a

place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast

out, that serpent of old, called the devil and Satan, who deceives

the whole world. He was cast to the earth, and his angels were

cast out with him. So here, Matthew, we see that phraseology,

that language of casting out, of casting down placed on the dragon, and

we're told who this dragon is, the devil an Satan, and Matthew,

and that first stanza I read, it tells you what the dragon's main job

is, what he's what he's been doing on this planet since the beginning,

and what he's going to do all the way up to the end. He's

after that male child, and Matthew, I'm not sure how many of our

listeners have done any research historically on Phoenicia, but that is their claim to

thing, Matthew, is child sacrifice. Now we know it. It was

went through all history and all cultures and all empires engaged in one form of

another of child sacrifice. Right, you could even say that we do we

do here today because of our abortion laws, Matthew. So for Phoenicia specifically

to be pointed as the biggest participant in that action, then you know,

Matthew, that it was exceeding what everyone else was doing. And so,

boy, Matthew, if whoever this prince or this king of Tire has been

trying to do this this whole time, accomplished this task that we see in

Revelation chapter twelve, Matthew, that explains a whole lot as to why people

would willingly sacrifice their prince. Is essentially right, if you have a first

born, that's the one that's going to be inheriting everything, that's the one

who's destined to become a king, if they're a prince. But yet the

Phoenicians are willing to sacrifice that child, that male child. That's almost unspeakable,

Matthew. And so the fact here that we have the actions of the

dragon and Revelation twelve showing us historically what the Phoenicians and specifically Tire has been

doing. It's a big signal marker for me, Matthew. Yeah, and

it should be. And you know, everybody needs to realize that this biblical

term for to fit in the Bible repeatedly. You need to understand that is

what the Phoenicians called the child sacrifice that Jose's referred to. When you see

that in the Bible, it is from Phoenicia. But you need to you

need to realize this goes a whole lot deeper than that because this phraseology that

was used here in Revelation chapter twelve. If you didn't have remembrancers triggering in

your mind, I really don't. I'm gonna have to tell you you're not

very familiar with the text, okay, because this is the tale of the

widow that Elishah stayed with. The New Testament tells you twice it was three

years and six months. New Testament says that twice, this was during the

days of Elijah. Where did they go? Where was the zerapath widow from?

Yeah, you need to know what was going on. Jazabel was Phoenician

ladies and gentlemen. She was the daughter of f Ball the second look it

up, Look it up, look it up. So Elijah goes to Phoenicia

to hide from Jezebel, because well, of course that would be the last

place Jezebel looked. And while this sometime during this three and a half years,

the widow's son dies. This story is chronicled in First Kings, chapter

seventeen. I'll read a little bit here from it. Now. It came

about after these things that the son of the woman, the mistress of the

house, became sick. And his sickness was so severe that there was no

breath left in him. So she said to Elijah, what do I have

to do with you, Oh man of God, You have come to bring

my iniquity to remembrance and to put my son to death. He said to

her, give me your son. Then he took him from her bosom and

carried him to the upper room where he was living, and laid him on

his own bed, and called to the Lord and said, oh Lord,

my God, you have also brought calamity to the woman with whom I'm staying

by causing her son to die. Then He stretched out himself upon the child

three times and called to the Lord and said, oh Lord, my God,

I pray you lest this child's life be returned to him. And the

Lord heard the voice of Elijah, and the life of the child returned to

him, and he revived. Now Elijah took the child and brought him down

to the from the upper room of the house, and gave him to his

mother. And Elijah said, see, your son is alive. Then the

woman said to Elijah, now I know that you are a man of God,

and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is the truth.

Take note this is specifically the phraseology here in Hebrew, in the Mesoretic text,

and in the septuagen in the Coinitia Greek, it said this child went

to God, and that Elijah requested of God, and God sent the child

back. If you didn't catch that in the verses that jose was reading from

Revelation chapter twelve, I really don't know. I really don't know how how

this particular Bible study is going to help you. If you didn't see that,

if you didn't realize that this was always tied to the hip with Taire,

it always was, and this goes to probably a whole lot deeper than

anybody thinks, because one of the things at play here is well, a

modern innovation of the Judaizers. You can call them whatever you'd like. Sometimes

they go by the name Hebrew Roots. They're Judaist, that's what they are.

And they come up with this new, very very popular innovation among Zionist

churches, this concept of Paleo Hebrew. Right was Yes, there's only one

big problem with that, ladies and gentlemen, you need to know the truth.

What happens, Jose when you compare Paleo Hebrew with the Phoenician script,

what similarities are there? It's the exact same thing, Matthew. Yeah,

there is no similarities, Jose. Right, there's no differences, right,

Okay, this is why. And the New Testament, when the Lord Jesus

Christ addresses Satan, they do not use to coin any a Greek term diablos.

He addresses him utilizing the transliteration Satan. This is why. And if

you didn't know that, if you didn't know that, then then this Bible

study is probably a little bit advanced for you. It's probably creating information overload.

Just with what we've said, so far. I mean, if you'd

never heard that Revelation chapter twelve is depicting, it is depicting exactly what happened

to this widow's son. I don't know what to tell you because the phraseology

there was very very clear her son had went to God and God gave him

back. The thing with Revelation chapter twelve is this child is not given back.

The child is taken by God to heaven and he's never given back.

But you need to understand that that's what's at play here. And if you

didn't realize that that's where this widow was that Elijah fled to, was actually

in Jezebel's home country, you're so far behind the curve. I just need

to tell you that this Bible study's a little bit advanced for you because we're

just now getting rolling. So Jose back to you, because this isn't the

only place this dead pants. It's not just here in Revelation chapter twelve.

It goes on, So I'll just pass it back to you. Well,

the other thing I want to bring up, Matthew, is when we read

about the kings of Judah and Israel, especially when you get to Jezebel and

they have right there. Their biggest issue is the worship of Baal and the

worship of Astarte. And when you look this up, Matthew, and in

any history book, it's going to tell you that those gods, those idols

are specifically Canaanite Venetian gods. Yes, so there's a lot more going on

than you know, just this just being the local custom that they're picking up,

that that they're allowing to interfere with their worship of the Lord. This

is this is I mean, there's no other way to put it than than

you know, spiritual warfare. You have the you have this entity of tire

trying to push this idle worship into Israel itself, into Jerusalem itself. And

it does, Matthew, it does take take over Jerusalem, it takes over

the House of God itself. So so this is not there. There's it's

not just uh, pretend priests of bail up there doing their worship. They're

they're they're conducting serious affronts to God and abominations. He said, God says

that himself, they're committing committing abominations. Yes, absolutely, absolutely, And

when people realize that, what are you trying to say that the Hebrews started

using the Phoenician script. Yes, there's absolute, one, unequivocal proof of

that that Jezebel, in more ways than one, really did seize the Kingdom

of Heaven. Okay, you can call it whatever you'd like, but at

the time, this was the Promised Land, this was God's chosen people,

and at this time that was determined off ethnicity, and Jezebel had certainly seized

God's chosen people. They were writing Phoenician. So most people don't don't realize

this that, oh my goodness, it went this far. Yes, it

went this far. Look it up, Look it up. It really did

go this far. And you begin to realize through the biblical narrative that the

Bible is quite clear that the nations were laid out like the host of heaven,

and we know there were seventy nations. The Bible is repeated saying that

there's princes of these nations. It directly addresses some like I already mentioned.

It mentions the Prince of Taiir in chapter twenty eight of Ezekiel. That's not

exclusive. It also mentions the Prince of Persia correct hose yep. So if

you don't know this your way behind the curve. But you should have always

known that Satan was a prince of one of those seventy nations. You should

have known that. And once you understand that the tribulation is three and a

half years and days and years aren't normal, there that this is the end

of the age, the beginning of the Great Tribulation. The Bible is very

clear. There's thirty days in exactly forty two months. It's saying that there

will no longer be three hundred and sixty five point twenty four or five days

in the year. There's going to be three hundred and sixty days in the

year. And you need to know that this is massively tied to Isaiah chapter

thirteen thirteen because God is going to field this planet out of its orbit.

That's really going to happen, because God said so, He made it,

and it's going to happen. So you need to understand the tribulation is based

exclusively off of the days of Elijah, which is three years and six months.

Those days of Elijah was in a spiritual war against the Princess of Heaven.

This is why the Book of Revelation is wrapped around the Great Harlot that

rides the beast. You're supposed to know that great Harlot is represented in the

biblical narrative as Jezebel. You are literally supposed to know that by the time

you get to Revelation chapter twelve, if the Harlot is Jezebel, that woman

must be represented as the widow with the woman with the child, the male

child that died. And you need to realize it never mentions why she's a

widow, does it, Jose, No, Matthew, that's why, Jose.

So if you had heard that Satan is called the prince of Tier in

Ezekiel twenty eight, boy was you missing. I mean, for all intents

and purposes, you only had a sliver of the information that you actually should

have had. Because, boy, we just don't have time to grapple with

all this, so I need to hand it back to Jose. Jose,

all right, Matthew, I'm going to jump back to the Book of Revelation.

I'm going to Revelation chapter thirteen, and just for shortness of time,

I'm not going to read the first few verses of chapter thirteen. But we

know that this beast of the sea comes up and then I'm going to pick

up on verse well, I'll pick up in the middle of verse two.

After this beast rises up, it says, the dragon gave him his power,

his throne, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads

as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed,

and all the world marveled and the beast. So they worshiped the dragon who

gave authority to the beast, And they worship the beast saint, who is

like the beast, who is able to make war with him. So here,

Matthew, we see this dragon, which we're already told is Satan,

giving his authority over to the beast, much in the same way that we

see Ezekiel telling us how Nebuchadnezzar takes this authority, takes this power from Taiir.

Yep. Now, when you read in English, Matthew, it kind

of reads like as if the dragon willingly gives this authority over to the beast

and to the false prophet. Right. But when we jump over to Daniel

late, Matthew, it tells us a different story. It tells us that

this little horn, it grows up to the host of heaven, and it

casts down some of the hosts of heaven, casts down the stars to the

ground and tramples them, and he exalts himself as high as the prince of

the host, and by him the daily sacrifices are taken away, and the

place of his sanctuary is cast down. So this, this is not a

peaceful transition of power, Matthew. This is God using that false prophet the

same way he used Nebuchadnezzar as a hammer to bring down this dragon, this

city, this constellation of tire to accomplish what he's going to accomplish. This

is if Satan being cast into the pitt, Matthew is not something that he's

He's trying everything he can to fight against it. He knows that's where he's

going to end up. But boy, Matthew, he's he's trying every trick

and every turn to get out of it. But it's already been written,

Matthew, this is what's going to happen. Yes, you're exactly correct,

Yes it is, and you're you're right. It's amazing how of Neba Kane

said that that he is the axe in the Lord's hand, correct, man,

And that kind of phraseology. Well, we just read about that in

eas Echo chapter twenty six, right, so you know, if you weren't

putting two and two together, Boy, this comes as quite a shock because

the first time that you see this, you want to sit back and say,

Okay, I need to start making charts. I need to start going

through this verse by verse. I know, I sure did. And you

realize I did this way back when I was twelve, thirteen fourteen. When

I realized that, you know, I realized what Brother Webster was telling me

when I back way out, I'm like, okay, how do we do

this? And guess what he already had typed up? Of course he put

it on the Xerox copy machine way back then and just print it off.

He had these three chapters double spaced, you know on the old typewriters,

what was double spaced, Jose, So you had room to write underneath each

verse. And you talk about opening up an entire world because normally you can't

do that, right, you can't. You don't have that much room in

your Bible. Well, this is how brother Webster trained us up. No,

you type it up and you realize we had every chapter of the Bible.

We had every chapter of the Bible typed up like that. Students took

it through the took it to the copy machine, printed it off, and

you'd go through it once in Hebrew and then go once through it through Greek.

And by the time you were done six months later, you were thoroughly

versed on what was going to happen because you could, you know, go

to the library and check out all the encyclopedias that you wanted to build up

your database historically with what had happened with Alexander and Nebeka Nezzar, what he

did to Phoenicia. And I tell you what, you had a backlog of

information about what is going to happen. Let me say that again. I

have a massive backlog of information about what is going to happen. Now.

Unfortunately, most of those things from my childhood, all that stuff was lost

in the bonfire from November of twenty seventeen. All that went up in a

blaze in glory because my office was out there, boxes and boxes and boxes.

I mean, my children cried when they realized what they had lost.

Because of course Aaron especially loved to go through my notes. So if this

is the first time you're hearing this, ladies, Joe boy, this is

a shock to the system, isn't it? I was, because literally what

you described is exactly right. Whatever is happening here, this but on that

tier had was passed to Nabulknezer. That's exactly what's being alluded to here.

That's why he's talking using and I already said that he's making phraseology here just

exactly use liked of Babylon in the Book of Jeremiah. It's Babylon surrounded by

many sites, by many waters. Correct, Yes, so you could see

that this authority is being passed to a beast. You need to understand that,

you need to open your eyes that there is more than one of these

beasts. I mean, you could say in a prince of Heaven that is

not holding to the law into the testimony when you don't want to call him

an angel, do you, jose right, they're a beast, Yes,

they're no longer a messenger Matthew at that point, right, I mean when

you liken these to the animals, you have trained animals, right, Yes,

what's the opposite of that a beast? So anyway back to you,

all right, Matthew, So I'm going to jump over to a revelation,

chapter twenty starting in verse one. Then I saw an angel coming down from

heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his

hand. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who

is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. And

he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set

a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till

the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for

a little while. And that, Matthew, that matches up exactly with what

the end of Ezekiel twenty six tells us about this tie year being thrown into

the pit. You even have, Matthew. In Ezekiel, it tells us

about the princes of the sea who come off of their thrones and lay aside

their robes and their garments. And of course we see in verse four who

takes those thrones. God's telling us who's gonna the way He's set up his

kingdom for his son to replace those that have been kicked off of their throne.

Matthew. So so I see mirror imaging here going on in Ezekiel twenty

six in Revelation chapter twenty You better, you better see that, because absolutely

right, But you don't catch it. I mean, I mean, if

you weren't listening for it, you're right. It's not until the end of

Eazeco chapter twenty six that you catch it. Because he's very he's very clear.

He says, that will bring you down with those who descend into the

pit to the people of old, and I will make you dwell. They're

the lowest part of the earth, and the place is desolate from antiquity with

those who go down to the pit. This is exactly the phraseology. You

look, Jose, how is there no cross reference linking what you just read

right in Revelation chapter twenty Jose, you know there's no cross references there,

don't you? Oh yeah, there's not, Matthew. But like I said,

ladies and gentlemen, it should have triggered remembrancers within you. This is

talking about out the end Devised of Ezekiel. Chapter twenty six is talking about

what is going to happen in Revelation chapter twenty It is and not only is

it doing that, there's nobody escaping it. There's no escaping what's going on

here? So boy, this has so many ties into anything else, but

we don't have time to do Ezekiel chapter twenty seven or twenty eight, right,

there's no time to do that. So you know when you saw this

time, Well, let me ask you this, how did you get to

Ezekiel chapter twenty six in the first place? Where did you start? So

you were you were thinking about Revelation chapter twelve, No, Matthew, I

was. I was just reading through. I was reading through Ezekiel, and

I was coming coming up to of course, I was reading through the chapters

previous to twenty six, and you hear all about the Pharaoh of Egypt,

and and the it was firing off my head, you know how how that's

relating to the earth being Egypt prophetically, and of course the Pharaoh of Egypt

is going to be talking also about the the prince who's in charge now,

which is going to be Satan, right, And so that was already firing

in my heads. And then here I jump over to Ezekiel twenty six and

I'm reading this and they like, this is this is not talking about any

other prince other than Satan, Matthew. Then other than the dragon. That's

who gets cast down. Yes, there are other angels that get cast down

with him, but the main principal figure in that casting down is Satan is

the devil, is the dragon, as we're told in the book Revelation.

So I just couldn't get around it. And then then you guys did the

fellowship, and you know, blew my mind with what you guys were discussing

there, and and and the pieces finally fell in together. And the other

part of this, Matthew, is I was also reading Kings and Chronicles where

it's talking about David and Solomon and how the King of Tier was helping them,

helping them build their houses, helping them build the House of the Lord.

And it's like, well, if Tier is supposed to be this big,

bad, ugly guy, why is he helping h David and Solomon.

And then of course it makes sense, Matthew, because David and Solomon followed

the Lord, and in doing so, the prince, the Prince and the

King of Taier had to fall in line. They had no they had no

other avenue, no other ways to act against God's people because the king,

the king that was set up at that time, the king of Israel.

He was, he was following God, Matthew. So so whatever whatever aptitudes,

whatever powers that Prince of Tier had, whatever, that the the the

authority that Satan has, he can't do anything, Matthew when the King of

Israel is acting proper. And of course once once those times passed and now

you have the kings of Judah and Israel acting against God. But he had

free reign, he had free rein and put Jezebel in the house of the

Lord, Matthew. So that that that, of course, that that's just

it just fits right in line with the way God operates and and the way

God has allows allows Satan authority to do what he can do while he still

has time. So why exactly were you reading Ezekiel chapter twenty section? You

were just reading through the whole Bible. So you just got here, you

got him, yep. So when did you get here in relative position to

hearing our fellowship? Was it? It was maybe I would say it the

most three days before before you expect me to believe that it was perfect,

Tiy, because nobody else would believe that that You're just randomly listening to,

right, That's what I'm trying to say. And once again, Jose,

you prove this. Once you hear it, not only can it not be

taken from you, you will hear it everywhere, right, I mean,

tonight we we laid it out very lightly, but we certainly made the case

that this is actually talking about great tribulation. Yes, and here it puts

it perfectly, the princes of the Sea. The Book of Revelation tells you

very plainly what the sea is. Prophetically, it's the tribe youngs and nations,

right, Jose, Yes, and we all know who the princes of

all the people are. I've already stated. The Bible says it many times.

The tribes of the earth are in the hands of the princes of heaven.

And this describes it perfectly as the princes of the sea. Perfect way

to prophetically put it. And take note, that's exactly what Revelation comes right

out and tell you that the dragon just gives his authority to whichever beast he

wants to. One thing's for sure. He could give it to Michael,

right right, he could give it to Gabriel. That's the last thing on

earth he's going to do. And you all need to know that, I

mean, you should know this that. I mean, we can go back

to the Book of Revelation, and I appreciate that we skipped those verses.

But no one understand this, that this should just be assumed. I mean,

when I've read it, I know what it's saying. Then I stood

on the sand of the sea, and I saw a beast rising up out

of the sea, having seven heads. Okay, the Bible's very clear,

there's seventy princes, right, jose Right, this is talking about a coalition

of one tenth of the host of heaven. Right, If there's seventy princes,

So there's a whole lot more information here than than any of you ever

supposed. I mean, there's a too much information here to give in one

hour, that's for sure. But now that people have the narrative and they

realize what and they realize this is just the first of the trilogy. This

is a trilogy. Now they have the opportunity to learn more than they ever

thought they could learn from the prophecy of the Prince of Tier. But you

all need to know that this is why the Judaist run around and talk about

Paleo Hebrew, Paleo Hebrew, Paleo. There is no Paleo Hebrew. It's

that I'm of a Jacobell. Yes, it is. Everybody knows it.

Go ask any go, ask any expert on the topic. And it truly

is sad. The level of deception that Satan is accomplishing through his clergy.

It's criminal. It's, ladies and gentlemen, it's an outright criminal. I

mean, just do a search and just study how many how many pastors have

went to prison in the past ten years, right, jose right? I

mean, it's beyond the pale And this is why you know I need to

be the first to tell you this. The Bible is very clear. Yeah.

Look, I was working on a document today that I'm sure that a

lot of you would like me to cover. I'll just tell you the name

of the document. It's Bible prophecy Beetlejuice, the son in sackcloth. I

could prove in a court of law that what is described in the Bible thousands

of years in advance was exactly what happened to beetlejuice. What happened to beetlejuice

back in twenty nineteen. It didn't have a cmme, ladies and gentlemen,

it had an sm It had a surface mass ejection. It ejected four hundred

billions. You need to write this word down. I didn't say million.

It ejected in one shot four hundred billion times that our sun has ever done

for any cme. The Bible predicted that I can prove in the court of

law when I tell you that God has already said he's going to feel prompt

the Earth out of her orbit. You need to know that I have detailed

information structured off the prophecies that I just described what happened in the sign of

the strike, because it's not Orian, it's the sign of the strike that's

based on Michael chapter five. Are you confused yet? I speak biblically.

I think biblically what you call o Ryan is the sign of the strike from

Michael chapter five, and based on those prophecies, I know exactly when those

events are going to happen. Here I'll really confuse me. I could prove

it in the court of all what's going to happen on the thirty eighth day

of the forty five days. Most of you, I've probably just rattled your

kke. What on earth is that? If you don't know that that you

don't know Bible prophecy. You don't. You think you do, but you've

been indoctrinated. What is indoctrination. Indoctrination is when your doctrines contradict the Bible,

God's holy word. When it does that, that's how you know you've

been indoctrinated. For example, Jose, does not the Bible say this that

the Lord Jesus Christ will descend with a shout? Yes? Okay, So

how on earth could there be a secret return of Christ? Let me ask

you this again. How does the Bible say he will return with a shout?

Right? Amen? So, if you're saying it's a secret event,

you're a liar, aren't you, Jose, Yes, because your doctrine is

contradicting the Bible, God's holy word. The Lord Jesus Christ will descend with

the shout, It is not secret. That's a lie. SOEs and gentlemen,

you know you've been indoctrinated when your doctrine contradicts the Bible, God's holy

word. That's how you know. And if you're running around telling people that

there's a secret return of Christ, you're contradicting the Bible. Go It's holy

word. It's really quite clear. It says it everywhere he returns with the

bang. He returns with a bang. So just so you know, Jose,

there's not much more I can add to that is no, there isn't.

Matthew and I appreciate the simple fact that everybody's thinking, you know,

Jose's just joking around. There's no way he was randomly reading this and heard

the latest program with Matthew and the Fellowship. He just happened to be covering

exactly what he was reading. No, ladies and gentlemen, The only thing

I can tell you is at this point I need to probably finish the series,

but I don't have time because the season is almost up. I mean

Memorial Days upon us and everybody knows that this is a thirty eight to fourteen

ministry. I take the fourteen weeks from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and

I only do things on Patreon. I'm not doing public audios. That's only

for thirty eight weeks. But you need to know this that what you thought

was a two part it is not. It's a three part series. You

must be born again, you must be reborn, and you must be renewed.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, Oh, I feel smorry

for you. There's that one Greek word that's in the New Testament, just

that one time you must be renewed. I'm gonna tell you something else.

This is what Hagi chapter two states, you've got nine hundred and sixty five

days during the birth pains where you need to be renewed. Is if you're

not, there's nothing Jose and I can do to help you. And that's

the stone cold truth of the Bible, God's Holy Word. Jose, take

us out of here in prayer. Police, Dear heavenly Father, whom we

love and serve, I thank you continually for allowing us to get other while

we still have time. Lord, I want to pray and ask that you

continue to use the ecclesia as your body. Lord, that while one part

of your body is hearing, another part of your body is watching and reading,

and another part of your body is speaking what that ecclesia is reading and

hearing, And that through those actions, Lord, that the rest of your

ecclesia may be your hands and feet as Christians in this world, as salt

in this world, as light in this world. Lord, that we forget

our troubles. Forget our sorrows, forget our sicknesses, and remember those who

are lost, that we may go out there and seek them and help them

and heal them, Lord, through your Son, through the power of your

Holy Spirit, because we know that is what you have us here for.

Father, and I just asked through this ministry, through our studies, through

our prayers, that this is allowed to continue, Father, because you have

blessed us with the knowing and the love that you that you have shared with

the Ecclesia. You have blessed with this. You have blessed us with this,

Lord, and all I ask is that we are able to share with

not only the rest of the body, but that we may share those with

the lost. Father. That is our hope as we enter the into the

birth things. That is our hope, that you can draw more to your

son, Father, And we ask this through your Holy Spirit and through your

Son, we asked that this be accomplished. And I ask all this in

the name of your Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen,

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

God speed. Thank you for listening to Marinath the ministries with Matthew Miller.

unto my feet and a light into my path, excured while I hide in

my heart that I might not sin against God.
