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

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

  3. subscribe and support this podcast. So we are Maranatha Ministries and now Redemption draweth

  4. nigh. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program. We are

  5. your host Jose and Matthew. Tonight we get back to the Book of a

  6. Sense, and tonight we're doing Psalms one point thirty. It is a very

  7. short psalm, you would have to say, it is extremely sweetened to the

  8. point. However, however, there's some things stated here that when you know

  9. what to look for this eleventh chapter here in the Book of a Sense,

  10. it can it can get your attention. And on the surface, it's much

  11. like many of the other psalms of a cent that we've read. It's just

  12. on the surface here you can't. You know, nobody would say that this

  13. psalm is of any consequence, right, Jose, correct? Matthew. I

  14. mean, have you ever heard anybody speak about this chapter? Have you ever

  15. heard one verse quoted from here? I don't think so, Matthew know.

  16. So you know, it begs the question, ladies and gentlemen, why is

  17. this in the Bible? You know, I've often asked this question to all

  18. different nage groups, because just to be sure, I have taught every age

  19. group in church, every age group. Now there's one particular church where all

  20. the classes would fight over me, so I could only teach one class for

  21. six months. I mean, that's pretty bad when the senior class, the

  22. senior adult class would get mad because I was going to go teach you know,

  23. the teenagers. So this isn't my first rodeo. And when I say

  24. something like that, you know, it normally makes some people nervous, because

  25. really, I really am asking you, ladies and gentlemen, if you read

  26. it's over and if you think it's no consequence, why is it in the

  27. Bible? I mean, would you not agree, Jose that God did not

  28. waste his time or his breath construc the Bible, No, Matthew, he

  29. absolutely did not. And I think it's the people that don't realize that everything

  30. is there for a purpose, every word, every verse, you know,

  31. every book in the Bible is there for a reason. And again it's all

  32. prophetic. And there's some Christians and some denominations that don't look at the Bible

  33. that way, whether they're looking at it as a as a self help book,

  34. or they're looking at it as a you know only they only consulted when

  35. they're going through a time of trouble, and so they they go to certain

  36. you know, chapters and verses that they read to strengthen them during those times,

  37. but without understanding that it's so intricate, so much detail, it's so

  38. woven together, so beautifully that even with a simple the simple verses that we've

  39. been reading, Matthew, God just lays so much information, and there's so

  40. much data, so much material that binds the whole Bible together. It's it.

  41. It can only be done by his hand. That's just the only way

  42. to put it. I remember when when I had first started reading the Bible

  43. with my sons, and just starting with the first first chapter in the New

  44. Testament and then going with just going with a cross reference has shook you,

  45. right, Nothing, nothing too intricate, no no detailed study, just let's

  46. look at the cross references and just seeing how you just couldn't hit My son

  47. said, you can't, you can't. I don't. I don't understand how

  48. people say this isn't written by God, because just by this one chapter,

  49. you're taking me all over the Bible and showing me what God's talking about in

  50. that one in that first chapter of Matthew. So it's just it's it's just

  51. if you would only take the time to study it and to look at it.

  52. And yeah, lot of us maybe don't have access to the original languages.

  53. But like you've said before, Matthew, just using the strongest concordance,

  54. you can get a lot of information with that and and clarify a lot of

  55. these simple chapters, these simple verses that that we kind of gloss over.

  56. There's there's just so much details, so much information in the end there.

  57. And you know this one is this one's pretty pretty simple, right, It's

  58. just basically four stanzas. There's basically two versus per stanza, right. I

  59. mean, on the surface, it's not saying anything out of the ordinary.

  60. I mean these it's not making bold statements here. I mean it is when

  61. when you can see what to look for. But on the surface, there's

  62. just well, there's not much here and we're going to read through it.

  63. I mean, it's just eight verses. It's it's literally no weight on the

  64. mind at all. I mean, it's very easy to read, and you

  65. would think that that's the end of the matter. You would think that you

  66. just read through it and you know it's fine. So pose do you want

  67. to read it? Or you want me to sure I can read it?

  68. Matthew, Okay, go ahead, all right. So again we're in some

  69. one thirty and I'm reading it out of the nasb. A song of a

  70. sets out of the depths. I have cried to you, Oh Lord,

  71. Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive that the voice of

  72. my supplications, to the voice of my supplications. If you, Lord should

  73. mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with

  74. you that you may be feared. I wait for the Lord. My soul

  75. does wait. And in his word do I hope. My soul waits for

  76. the Lord more than the watchmen for the morning, indeed more than the watchmen

  77. for the morning. Oh Israel, hope and the Lord. For with the

  78. Lord there is loving kindness, and with him is abundant redemption, and he

  79. will redeem Israel from all his iniquities. You know, not much, not

  80. much there that we haven't heard before, right, right, right? I

  81. mean, it just begs the question, why is this here? I mean,

  82. this Psalm is for the weight of it, it would seem that you're

  83. just supposed to read it once a year, right, You're just supposed to

  84. go through it. It's it's here Psalm one, between Psalm one twenty nine

  85. and one thirty one, so you're supposed to read it and get it over

  86. with, right, Right, That's just that's just just what it seems like

  87. until you open your eyes and take a look at it. Because I can't

  88. get very far myself without stumbling across things. And I mean literally stumbling across

  89. things. So you know, from the very first word, or from the

  90. very first verse, it uses this, this strange word h. Forty six

  91. fifteen, what you're seeing is deeps now. The problem is that, for

  92. one, this word has very limited use in the Bible itself. It has

  93. very limited usage. But you're thinking he's talking about water, right, Jose,

  94. Right, you think that's what's going on here when you take a look

  95. at this word. But when you take a look at the the root word,

  96. the singular form of this, well that's not entirely the case. I

  97. mean, take note, ladies and gentlemen, that. The root word here

  98. for this is G. Six thousand and nine, G. Six thousand and

  99. nine, Psalms ninety two, verse five. How great are your works,

  100. Oh Lord, your thoughts are very deep. That's not talking about water,

  101. Jose. Right, that's not talking about water. That's H six zero zero

  102. nine. Matthew, you said gee, but I know you go ooh ooh

  103. you caught me. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that's eh. That's that's

  104. Hebrew. We're looking at Hebrew right now, not Greek. So Isaiah chapter

  105. seven, verse eleven, ask a sign for yourself from the Lord your God,

  106. make it as deep as she o or as high as heaven. Once

  107. again, we are absolutely not talking about water. That's not what we're talking

  108. about here. Let's go to the next one. Maybe maybe this will clarify.

  109. Isaiah chapter twenty nine, verse fifteen. Woe to those who deeply hide

  110. their plans from the Lord, and whose deeds are done in dark places.

  111. And they say, who sees us or who knows us? So, Jose,

  112. what do you make of this that this is talking about? And it

  113. can mean deep, right, yes, it can mean water, that's true,

  114. But obviously God is talking about something else. Here it's and he's wanting

  115. you to see that from the very first Yeah, Matthew's that's kind of the

  116. inclination I got when I read this this palm, that that depths or the

  117. deep that it's talking about it. Immediately what came to mind was shield and

  118. one obviously on a on a natural level, right, what what this person

  119. would have to be going through too to feel like they were in shield,

  120. feel like they were so far away from God, feel like they were in

  121. the grave, even though they may be alive and and and suffering and going

  122. through through pains and tribulations. But Matthew, we also know that that there

  123. are individuals that are in shield, are in haze, or we'll be going

  124. there, that will be cr that have cried out and will cry out to

  125. the Lord from those depths. That there's more than just a physical feeling here.

  126. There's the there's a real the word that's using the psalm as psyche,

  127. right, Matthew. It's it's not just it's not just the soma soma reaction.

  128. It's a it's something you're psyche that's crying out to God from that from

  129. that depth. Yes, So that that makes this well, it it gets

  130. your attention, Yes, is what it does. It gets your attention.

  131. Now, ladies and gentlemen, take note that this this word in its plural

  132. form basically found in what four verses five verse? I think it's five verses,

  133. and you all need to take a look at those those passages. It's

  134. it's interesting in its usage where it's at. And I can't I can't say

  135. that enough that sometimes, ladies and gentlemen, this takes self edification. Now

  136. this particular word here, not in not in the same regular form, but

  137. this this this plural form here, because that's all you can say. It

  138. is H forty six fifteen. Write that down forty six fifteen. It's H

  139. forty six fifteen. Take a look at it in your spare time. But

  140. we should have your attention at this point that something else is being talked about

  141. here. And this got my attention, so I immediately began expecting something to

  142. be in the next verse, because like I said, these verses go together.

  143. This is eight versus long four stanzas of two verses each, so I

  144. would expect another twin here to tell me about what I'm looking for. And

  145. needless to say, this does come up in the very next verse, and

  146. it says, Lord, hear my voice, let your years be attentive to

  147. the voice of my supplications. Take a look at that in Hebrew, and

  148. it'll get your attention, because this repeatedly comes up in only one place,

  149. doesn't it O say yes, and it's enough to rattle your cage, ladies,

  150. Jim, it's enough to get your attention when maybe when this happened with

  151. one of the places in question, but not with both, not when God

  152. is going to that sort of length to do this. Let's look at the

  153. first time this phrase is used together. Are These are a combination of two

  154. Hebrew words, ladies, Jim's forear basically or to listen h two forty one

  155. and age seventy one point eighty three to listen or be attentive. These word

  156. combinations repeatedly come up in the Strangers and Places Second Chronicles, Chapter six,

  157. verse forty. This is dead pan in the middle of Solomon's dedication of the

  158. temple. I quote, now, oh, my God, I pray,

  159. let your eyes be open and your ears attentive to my prayer offered in this

  160. place. The place he's talking about, is, of course, his temple.

  161. God responds to this prayer in Second Chronicles, chapter seven, verse fifteen.

  162. The very next chapter, God responds, by now my eyes will be

  163. open and my ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place. Now you'd

  164. think would end right there, but it's not, because when we go to

  165. Nehemiah chapter one, verse six, the same thing is being reciprocated for the

  166. second Temple. Let your ear now be attentive and your eyes open and hear

  167. the prayer of your servant, which I am praying before you now today and

  168. night on, behalf of the sons of Israel, your servants confessing the sins

  169. of the sons of Israel which we have sinned against you. I and my

  170. father's house have sinned. Five verses later, in verse eleven, Oh Lord,

  171. I beseech you you may here and be attentive to the prayer of your

  172. servant and the prayer of your servants, who delight to revere your name and

  173. make your servants successful today in grant him compassion before this man. Now,

  174. I was a cupbearer before the king. So here we go again. All

  175. four of these verses are in direct reference to God's Temple. It's not a

  176. reference to anything else the next time this phrase combination is here in the very

  177. chapter that we're reading from. So now you have a serious how do you

  178. put this? A serious conflict between verse one and verse two. You have

  179. a serious conflict between these two verses because literally this coming up in Solomon's dedication

  180. and in Nehemiah concerning the Second Temple. How on earth could you get any

  181. closer to God at that point? Of course you couldn't. So why is

  182. verse one saying what it's saying when you put this into proper context, knowing

  183. that phrase, and you look at verse one and say not not wait a

  184. minute, out of the depths? I cried to you, Oh Lord,

  185. what depths could he possibly be talking about? Jose what's your thoughts? Well,

  186. Matthew, I think it's it's very important that we understand that those verses

  187. you just read are about the building the consecration of that temple. Boy,

  188. I mean, you take that prophetically, Matthew, what God says about what

  189. his what his temple is going to be, what that's going to consist of?

  190. Who that who is that temple? You know, he's he's taking his

  191. his ecclesia, he's taking his tech down Epigelia and joining them with his son

  192. to create that house of God. Matthew, that temple for the Lord.

  193. Repeatedly, the new test that we're told that our body, the body of

  194. Christ, the body of believers, is that temple, and it's going to

  195. be completed when you know, when Jesus returns. That's the completion of it,

  196. right. It begins when when God himself steps off his throne on that

  197. great and terrible day. But it's completed when his son is seated upon his

  198. throne and is ruling and reigning. So, Matthew, we we understand where

  199. this, where this psalm is on the timeline, and who could be crying

  200. out from the depths, who could be in that place where they think that

  201. they've been lost, that they've been cast out, that they they've missed their

  202. chance, and essentially they they their only hope is that God himself raises them

  203. and allows them to to participate in some way and that conceration of that temple.

  204. Matthew, that's what I hear here. I hear those individuals in Revelation

  205. chapter twenty crying out as they're asking God to finish it. Don't forget about

  206. them. Every time that we've seen them, they've repeated themselves. Right,

  207. Yes, every time we've seen them someone they were saying something, and someone

  208. was repeating something. However, the third stanza, we have that very thing.

  209. My soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning,

  210. Yes, more than those who watch for the morning. Look at it,

  211. and Hebrew has just got a differentiation of one prefix letter because it's reciprocated.

  212. But basically it's the same phrase twice. And by this time everybody is

  213. listening to me very closely because they realize that's right. We did talk about

  214. this before. Every time you run into them, they're saying something and the

  215. people in their train must reply. So naturally you would have looked, well,

  216. somebody is going to be repeating something here, and sure it is.

  217. In the third stanza, something is repeated. So you know, we do

  218. have to talk about this, don't we. Jose where do these people go?

  219. Right? I mean, where do you go? In the Great Tribulation?

  220. If God orders death to flee from you, which he does in chapter

  221. nine. Everybody needs to digest that and think about that for a minute.

  222. You know, ladies and gentlemen, it really does make you scratch your head

  223. when you realize what these are going through, what they've been through. And

  224. certainly this group is not like anyone that has ever lived again, we should

  225. say, because they're going to live again, but they're not like everybody else.

  226. And it's pretty obvious from the songs of a Scent they've acquired total recall.

  227. And I don't think you know it's easy how we can separate ourselves from

  228. our past, right Jose, Yes. I mean I could tell of some

  229. very you know, strenuous things that happened to me, but now I'm separated

  230. from it, and even when I remember it and think back on that time,

  231. I do not have the ability to remember. Let us say pain.

  232. You can't remember pain, can you, Jose No, Matthew, we can

  233. reminisce about pain, and we can tell people, yeah, it really hurt,

  234. really bad. But ladies and gentlemen, you can't remember pain, either

  235. you are experiencing pain or not. You cannot bring to mind a stubbed toe.

  236. You can remember stubbing your toe, and you can remember that it hurt,

  237. but you cannot recall the pain, can you, Jose No. It

  238. would seem that this group is something different. They have The only way I

  239. can describe it is an angelic ability of co recall. They're remembering things in

  240. real time. They're actually able to remember these things. None of us can

  241. do that. We quite simply cannot remember how something felt, the texture.

  242. I mean, for example, you've played in a creek before, right when

  243. you were a kid, Yes, Matthew, and you picked up rocks out

  244. of the bottom of the creek bed right right, and they were cold and

  245. they were smooth, right, Yes, can you remember them? No?

  246. You can't. No, you can't close your eyes and feel that rock in

  247. your hands, can you. No, Ladies, jentlemen, you can't remember

  248. sensations. Something else is at play here, and whatever it is, obviously

  249. the only correlation you can have to it is the sensation that those priests had

  250. that went into God's temple. Now take note, we could even push this

  251. further and say the Holy of Holies, but at least you could say the

  252. Holy Place, and nobody could go into the Holy Place except the priest,

  253. right, Jose, right now, the most holy place. The high priest

  254. went in there once a year. But it seems like to me, the

  255. use of this phraseology is saying that whatever sensation it is is the sensation that

  256. those priests felt in the Holy place, which makes which makes for a pretty

  257. good so long moment when you think about it, it really does catch your

  258. attention. So, Jose, what's something he wanted to bring up before I

  259. move on? Well, Matthew, I want to go back to verse six

  260. says my soul waits for the Lord more than the watchman for the morning.

  261. And of course it's repeated, which should draw our attention to that. But

  262. when I read that, Matthew, that took me to John nine, verse

  263. four, where God says that we must carry out the works of him who

  264. sent me as long it is day, As long as it is day,

  265. night is coming when no one can work. And we know that's talking about,

  266. you know that great tribulation that when God stands up off his throne,

  267. and you know, essentially God, God kicks things off right, and now

  268. it's time for his his judgment, which is his wrath, to come down

  269. on the earth and to begin the process to set up his son on the

  270. throne. But what caught my eye in Matthew in that chapter was the previous

  271. verse where Jesus says that it was neither that this man sinned nor his parents,

  272. But it was so that the works of God might displayed might be displayed

  273. in him. And boy, Matthew, if you that's perfectly describing to me

  274. those in Revelations chapter twenty why they had to go through what they went through.

  275. The sole purpose was to for God to display his glory, to display

  276. his power and his might. And that's that's what I can I can kind

  277. of get in this psalm what they're praying for, Matthew his you know God,

  278. Yeah, we're we're in these depths are we can't work anymore? What

  279. whatever work, whatever mission God had them on, they can no longer complete

  280. because they essentially lost their head to the to the beast in Revelation chapter thirteen.

  281. And so all they can do is wait and pray for God to show

  282. everyone how powerful, how mighty, how faithful he is. Yeah, there's

  283. a lot in that burst, Matthew that. Yeah, there's there's a lot

  284. in that. Well, that's a perfect description of what we're talking about.

  285. Let's remember how the Shendig began. Let's read about when they get marked for

  286. death. After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of

  287. the earth holding back the four winds of the Earth, so that no wind

  288. would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or any tree.

  289. And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the

  290. seal of the Living God, and he cried out with a loud voice to

  291. the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea,

  292. saying, do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until

  293. we have sealed the bond servants of our God on their foreheads, and then

  294. they are left to die. The next chapter, you get their numbers,

  295. you get exactly who what we're when is sealed from verse four all the way

  296. to eight. And then we who are alive and remain are gathered and they

  297. are left to their fate with the beast from the Abyss. Ladies and gentlemen,

  298. you can't go no deeper than that, you know, the entertainment industry

  299. has done a pretty good job dispen saved, rationalizing people's psyches. And this

  300. group, this group has been left in the dark because of it, because

  301. it's this group that's really marked for death and left behind so that the Beast

  302. from the Abyss can butcher them. And that's what I was trying to say,

  303. ladies and gentlemen, they're remembering this deep. They remember being marked for

  304. death and left to die. They remember being marked for death and left to

  305. be executed. So you know, one of the most important things that this

  306. ministry does is make sure that everybody is up to speed on the end time

  307. entities, right, Jose, Yes, let me ask you something. Let's

  308. see if you can remember correctly. The two main things I've taught you is

  309. the timeline and the endtime entities? Right? Right? Which one did I

  310. teach you first? I think it was the endtime entities? Matthew, you

  311. are correct, I did. I literally spent two years, Jose teaching you

  312. the dtime entities. Yes. While I was teaching you this, you had

  313. no idea what my prophecy model was, did you No, Matthew, you

  314. had no idea. You for all you knew, I was a rapturist.

  315. I spent two year years making sure you knew who was who before I told

  316. you what was what, And I came up with some pretty ingenious ways to

  317. do that. Right. Yeah. We gave them labels, we gave them

  318. titles, and then we went looking for them. And tell me, Jose

  319. where did we find them everywhere, Matthew. Everywhere we found were from Abraham's

  320. children to Oh. I mean, yeah, just everywhere. You can find

  321. them everywhere in the Bible. You can find them everywhere, even in the

  322. Sons of Katura. Right, amen, Amen, because the Sons of kature

  323. was sent to the East and there in Hebrew East as one forty four,

  324. isn't it, Jose, Yes, you can find them everywhere. And of

  325. course the east is the rising of the sun. And you'll say, no,

  326. that's what I just read about this angel that marked for death. He

  327. came from where the rising of the sun. It's encoded everywhere, if you

  328. know what to look for, it's everywhere. Now we know why this angel

  329. has marked this group. We can jump over to Revelation chapter twenty and read

  330. all about it. Why this had been done. Then I saw thrones and

  331. they that sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I

  332. saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus

  333. said, because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped

  334. the beast or his image, and have not received the mark on their forehead

  335. or on their hand, and they came to life and reigned with Christ for

  336. a thousand years. Of course, now you know why. It has already

  337. read it for you from Revelation chapter seven. Ladies and gentlemen, they couldn't

  338. take the mark of the beast, could they, Jose? No, they

  339. had been sealed by God. The mark wouldn't take, Ladies and gentlemen.

  340. Even if the beast wanted to mark these with six sixty six, he could

  341. not. They had been sealed with the seal of God. There was no

  342. way for them to take the mark. They already had been sealed by God.

  343. If you can't see that, wow, there's all so much you can't

  344. see. There's so much that is obscuring your vision. You can't see the

  345. timeline now, Jose, being able to say and experience this sides twenty twenty.

  346. That really would be the case, wouldn't it a Jose, You yourself

  347. would know that right. If you can't see who is who? INDI end

  348. times you can not see the timeline. Clearly, your view is going to

  349. be so obstructed. I'm going to waste my time if I come to you.

  350. If I approach you and we begin to talk about things, and you

  351. realize that man Matthew has some insight. Let's invite him to church, and

  352. you are to invite me to your church. I would completely confuse you.

  353. I would completely put you out of sorts because quickly you'd begin to understand that,

  354. wait a minute, my psyche is not connected to my spirit. Because

  355. Jose, how many times did I do this with you? I mean,

  356. Jose, I didn't have to teach you as katology. You already knew it,

  357. right. How many times did we cover chapters? And I was confusing

  358. you because what we were reading was not lighting up with what you'd been taught,

  359. right, would you say a couple of times? Or would you say

  360. a couple of hundred times? Oh? Yeah, it was a lot,

  361. Matthew. It was a lot what I had been taught. And also what

  362. you know, what you overhear other Christians saying is going to happen in the

  363. end times, and you know, when you actually sit down and read the

  364. Bible, you're like, uh, this doesn't quite match up and it doesn't

  365. kind of feel like what I've heard before. So I'm missing something here?

  366. Yeah, definitely, Matthew. Because ladies and gentlemen, let me explain something

  367. to you there is a prophecy model that can be attained through the plane reading

  368. of scot That's what we have. We have a plane reading prophecy model.

  369. And I'm here to tell you that if you ever see a preacher or a

  370. teacher of the Bible stating that you can't trust the plane reading of scripture,

  371. you better be weary of them, because this is what a plane reading of

  372. a scripture will produce. It will produce the historic pre millennial model. That's

  373. what every Christian was for the first three hundred years of Christianity. Everybody was

  374. a historic pre millennial aschaologist, everybody, because you know what happens when you

  375. plainly read the Bible, you plainly read the Bible, that there's a tribulation

  376. at the end of it. Christ returns and sets up a literal millennial reign.

  377. He literally sets up his kingdom. That's the plain reading of the text.

  378. That's the only thing you can get from Genesis to Revelation. That's the

  379. only thing you can get. These three terms greet tribe, mid tribe,

  380. and post tribe were completely invented in the eighteen hundreds. They were completely invented.

  381. It was the dispensationalists that invented those three terms. Because for the first

  382. three hundred years of Christianity, all the way up to the eighteen hundreds,

  383. guess what everybody knew there was a tribulation. Christ was returning and setting up

  384. his kingdom, and in that order. Because that's what you get whenever you

  385. read Isaiah, Jeremiah, Joseiah, Daniel, Matthew, Mark Luke, that's

  386. what you always get. A plane reading of the Bible produces. It produces

  387. an historic pre millennials model. Now what about us here? We are historic

  388. pre millennials with the twist because you can prove emphatically via two sources that the

  389. rapturists use, but take no. It is the Apocalypse of Elijah and phudo

  390. Ephrim that both state what the Bible actually states. They state that before the

  391. tribulation, the saints will be gathered. That's what they state. They're not

  392. saying that you rapture to heaven. That's not what it's saying. That's exactly

  393. Well, we can go through the list, can't we. Jose Yeah,

  394. I mean, I mean how many times have we gone through that list here

  395. on the program? I mean we'd have to say it's more than a couple

  396. of times, right right, because God is literally ripped. Heats himself.

  397. How many times he says it, it's literally off the hook. How many

  398. times he says it. He says it, in it Ezekiel, Isaiah,

  399. It's just it's redundant. Ladies and gentlemen, listen, harken to my voice.

  400. Then it will happen in that day that the Lord will again recover the

  401. second time with his hand the remen of his people who remain from Assyria,

  402. Egypt, Aphos, Kush, e Lambshinar hey Methan, from the islands of

  403. the sea. He will lift up a standard for the nations and assemble the

  404. banished ones of Israel, and will gather to disperse of Judah. And just

  405. so you realize when this is gonna happen, he takes you right back to

  406. Revelation chapter seven. He finishes this verse with this, from the four corners

  407. of the Earth, From the four corners of the Earth. Now, I

  408. could just just rattle these off the top of my head, right, hose

  409. Man, how many times have I done this? Because I had to memorize

  410. the whole list when I was like sixteen years old, right, I mean,

  411. we can pick one from another book. If nobody wants to hear anything

  412. from Isaiah, I mean we could do that Ezekiel thirty six twenty four.

  413. For I will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands,

  414. and bring you to your old land. What part of that don't you

  415. understand, ladies and gentlemen. That's exactly what the last part of Revelation chapter

  416. seven is about. It's just kind of hard to put together because he uses

  417. last tense, present tension, future tints in the Greek. But you need

  418. to know this God to the nth degree. He's going to gather you.

  419. The problem is, as all of you are disconnected with where's that relationship to

  420. the tribulation? That's your problem. It's before the tribulation. As a matter

  421. of fact, he himself was going to do it, so that should tell

  422. you it's on the great day of the Lord. I mean both verses I

  423. just read to you. He was pretty plain he's going to do it,

  424. first person tense. He himself is going to do it, right, Jose,

  425. Yes he will. Is this not the order of First Thesalonians chapter five?

  426. Yep? First Thessalonians chapter five. Theology? Is this so the Great

  427. Day of the Lord starts the tribulation, and God's going to do something to

  428. you on that day. Verse twenty three of that chapter states that God does

  429. something to bring your som psyche numa. He preserves you himself those three your

  430. three parts, your body or soul, your mind. He preserves you until

  431. his son gets here. Isn't that what it says, Jose Yes it does,

  432. Matthew. So this is what we are. We have an even more

  433. plain reading of the text than the early Church father did. I don't have

  434. a problem saying that. And if you think that you can prove me wrong,

  435. well I strongly suggest that you a range a meet between yourself and me,

  436. as long as you pay all my traveling expenses and all that good stuff,

  437. because I'm poor. Jose Have you ever known me to be above the

  438. poverty level? No, Matthew, So as long as you pay for my

  439. expenses and stuff, we'll I have a shindig. I've forgotten more about God's

  440. word than most of you know right now, and I think I've probably proved

  441. that in the first part of this program, right Josel Absolutely, Matthew.

  442. Probably time for us to talk about some Greek don't you think sure, I'm

  443. sorry I was a bit long winded, there wouldn't I No, Matthew,

  444. that's that's it's it's important though, too, to lay it out. People

  445. need to People need to know what what the Bible actually says, regardless of

  446. what you've been taught, regardless of what you you think you know. Reading

  447. the Bible and seeing what it actually says, it's it's important, and it's

  448. detrimental. It's it's detrimental, Matthew to our future, Well, we're definitely

  449. gonna have to teach him that because we're going to take a look at verse

  450. three in the Greek and strong concordance isn't going to help them, visit Jose.

  451. No, I'm going to have to teach them where compound words come from.

  452. Right, right, Ladies and gentlemen. When you go to any standard

  453. resource, let's say blue letter Bible, bring up Blue Letter Bible, and

  454. you look up the subtuagent for this verse, they won't have a strong number

  455. for the very words you need to see in this third verse. Now,

  456. way back in the beginning, this is one of the reasons why Jose would

  457. contact me. He's like, hey, there's no strong number there, What

  458. do I do? Right? Jose? Right, yep, ladies and gentlemen,

  459. Let's let's take a look at verse three. We're going to read it

  460. out of the Briton septuagent if thou, O Lord shouldest mark iniquities, O

  461. Lord, who shall stand? You look at that in the online resources or

  462. in paper resources, whatever, if you're at library, whatever. You're going

  463. to take a look at that last word in Greek, and you're not going

  464. to be able to find it in the strong concordance. You're going to bark

  465. yourself up a tree. But I'll cut to the chase. There's only one

  466. English word that is compatible with this Greek word. It's not used a whole

  467. lot, but it's withstand withstand if one word in the dictionary, it's basically

  468. two words put together with and stand. That's exactly what this is doing in

  469. the Greek. So hose wy, don't you tell us about that word?

  470. Well, Matthew, or I'm finding it where I'm looking it up in the

  471. Greek in the set tu a gent. This is all relating to that,

  472. to that great and terrible day of the Lord. And I'll just read one

  473. verse for us, just to give us an idea, and nay whom Chapter

  474. one, verse six, who shall stand before his anger? Who shall withstand

  475. in the anger of his wrath? His wrath brings to not kingdoms, and

  476. the rocks are burst asunder by him. So this is this is that that

  477. great tribulation, Matthew. This is when when God kicks it off, you

  478. know, the six seal event, right, So this this compound word,

  479. you know what what it's what it's telling us, boy, Matthew, it's

  480. it's not just it's not just uh, it's not a normal It's like you

  481. said, it's not a normal just just standing up and being ready and and

  482. being you know, at attention, waiting for God to do something, or

  483. you know, or or standing in front of the judge. No, Matthew,

  484. this is this is almost standing in front of the executioner and being being

  485. able to withstand that, being able to survive that. And of course,

  486. Matthew, we know physically we cannot we cannot withstand that, we cannot stand

  487. before God and his anger and God and his his his full power. The

  488. only way we can do that, Matthew, is if we are a part

  489. of the body, a part of his son's body, we have the Holy

  490. Spirit with us. We're prepared that that body has been prepared by Him to

  491. withstand that. I mean that that's just the only way, Matthew, because

  492. because you know we're we're going to be blown away. If if we're not,

  493. if God hasn't sealed us right, if God himself or the Holy Spirit

  494. hasn't hasn't set us apart, then then we're done. For Matthew. Well,

  495. I mean, I'm surprised that you didn't bring up the one in Ezekiel

  496. twenty two fourteen. That's where it really does it, reading from the Thompson,

  497. Will thy heart endure, will thy hands be strong? In the day

  498. I deal with thee I the Lord have spoken, and I will perform.

  499. I mean, if you need a hint, you ain't got a clue,

  500. and you probably never did have a clue. Right, okay, ladies and

  501. gentlemen, this is he who sitteth upon the throne. And what is being

  502. said? Why these words? Why this phrases us put here because you need

  503. to understand what just happened. You need to understand what just happened. I

  504. know there's a lot of people out there that run around and say that the

  505. Book of Revelation is not in chronological order, and you know about their numbers.

  506. I can only say this, there are many people in the United States

  507. that have an IQ below of eighty, and I can't count that high.

  508. But anyway, let's get back to the point. You need to understand what

  509. is being stated here. These people were at the short end of god stick.

  510. Did you not catch that? Did you not understand that God sent the

  511. one who marks for death? He marked them, and he left them in

  512. the outer darkness. He left them with the damn. Do you understand that

  513. language? They got abandoned with the damned while you and I were gathered together.

  514. And that's what these verses are saying. And whoever wrote it knew exactly

  515. what to write to make sure the words in play would put a right on

  516. the forehead of that group. No one could stand, ladies and gentlemen,

  517. except these This is why they're not standing. This is why the versus what

  518. it says. If you marked our iniquities, who could stand? Who could

  519. withstand it? Ladies and gentlemen, Please understand what's at play here. Imagine

  520. if you're this group. Imagine if you're this group, you're in church right,

  521. Jose. Yes, you're not only a member. You go every Sunday

  522. right right, and have the Great Day of the Lord kick off and take

  523. notes, Lottie, Dottie. Everybody on the planet knows what's happening. Right.

  524. Yes, what does that mean for you if you've been left out there

  525. with them? Jose? How do you think that would feel to be marked

  526. for death? Right? And you're gonna be told, by the way,

  527. the whole reason why you're gonna die is because the martyrs that were martyred during

  528. the birth pains, you have to finish their number so we can set everything

  529. straight. You'd probably start stuttering at that point, wouldn't you, Jose,

  530. because you'd be like, what, well, wait a minute, don't I

  531. get to be the bride? Right, ladies and gentlemen if the rich people

  532. and the kings and the slave and the free. God's pretty clear and to

  533. the point on the six Seal event that you don't have any questions that from

  534. that point forward you know with all your heart you've got one two hundred and

  535. sixty days of tribulation and then his son's coming back. You will intimately know

  536. that, whether you know it now or not, is beside the point you're

  537. going to know it on that day. So imagine what will be going through

  538. this group's mind. Imagine what's going to be going through the mind. Now

  539. you understand what's at play here at Psalms one point thirty, because he's using

  540. exactly the words I need to see, both in Hebrew and Greek. He's

  541. making it so I cannot contradict what's going on here. There's there's no I

  542. mean, let's take a Malich verse three or chapter three, verse two,

  543. and who can abide the day of his coming or who can stand at his

  544. appearance, since he is coming like fire of a refurnace, of a refiner's

  545. furnace, and like soap of the foolers. I mean, if you need

  546. a hint, you ain't got a clue what he's talking about. That's exactly

  547. what this group had to do. That's exactly what this group had to do.

  548. And they know from this point forward they will literally live in infamy.

  549. I mean, imagine the tales they will be able to tell if you're in

  550. one of their trains making the trip to the Promised Land. I mean,

  551. I don't have a problem to say it. Hose you were raised with that

  552. term, right, the promised land absolute And that's like an illegal phrase now,

  553. isn't it right? But I don't have a problem using it. I

  554. mean, imagine ladies and gentlemen the tails. They're going to be able to

  555. tell as they go. They'll be able to give you detailed information nobody else

  556. can give you. They'll be able to tell you exactly what it was like

  557. in the tribulation. You won't have a clue, will you, Jose No,

  558. Matthew. And I'm just I'm just thinking why God used that word psyche

  559. here in this psalm. If if you're not marked, if you're not sealed,

  560. what that's gonna do to your psyche? Matthew, How how insane that's

  561. gonna make you knowing that it's gonna be like like God says, you're gonna

  562. be weeping and gnashing your teeth, right, Yeah, that's the physical effects

  563. that are going to happen to your psyche. So so that's the perfect word

  564. that God uses to show just how just how traumatic, how how how crazy

  565. it's going to be. I mean, it's just unless you're unless you're sealed,

  566. unless you've been redeemed by God boy, Matthew you're you're, you're,

  567. you're going to try to kill yourself and you're not going to be able to

  568. death. Will flee from you? Amen, So let's talk about the last

  569. riddle. It's almost time to close up, isn't it. Yes, it

  570. is exposed, it's time to well, it's time to close up. Let's

  571. take a look at this last stand and won't leave everybody with the riddle.

  572. So, oh, Israel, hope in the Lord, for with the Lord

  573. there's mercy, and with him is abundant redemption, and he shall redeem Israel

  574. from all his iniquities. It's not that interesting. So so is this talking

  575. about Well, let me ask you a question. I say, did you

  576. look at this in the Hebrew or the Greek? No? I haven't yet,

  577. Matthew know. So it's a good question as to whether this should be

  578. from all his iniquities or from all of their right iniquities? Right? Right?

  579. Because it's okay if this is talking about the person that used to be

  580. Jacob, right right, because then it would be in a singular tense,

  581. right. Yes, If it's talking about the children of Israel, it should

  582. be in the plural form, right, correct. So why is this saying

  583. his isn't that interesting? Do you not know? Have you not heard?

  584. Jose prees out of here place? Dear heavenly Father, whom we love and

  585. serve, and whom we think continuously, for allowing us to gather together as

  586. a body, as your ecclesia, as a group of believers who want to

  587. know and underst stand your word, and know and understand what you have the

  588. work that you have given us to do. Lord, Father, I asked

  589. that you open the ears of the listener, that they be attentive to everything

  590. that you've given them in your word. All we have to do is simply

  591. read it. Father, and with our brothers and sisters together, you have

  592. promised that your Son and your Holy Spirit will be there to guide us in

  593. understanding. So Lord, I just asked that you help the listener. You

  594. bless the listener, give them strength, give them faith to believe everything that

  595. you have written, Lord, because you have left it there for us to

  596. understand what is to come, and you have left it there for us to

  597. understand you, to understand your son, and to understand your Holy Spirit.

  598. Father. And I ask as times get more strenuous, times get more perilous

  599. and we can get swallowed up by the troubles of this world. That when

  600. we read your word, Lord, you remind us about your work, about

  601. your will, about the important things, about the beatitudes, about your ten

  602. Commandments, that you remind us everything that you've given us, Father, to

  603. help to withstand what is to come. And Lord, I pray for the

  604. ministers of not only this ministry, but those ministries that are trying to do

  605. your work, Father, those ministries that are spreading your gospel, spreading the

  606. love of your Son, and spreading those fruits of the spirit that you have

  607. asked us to deliver to the world. Lord, I ask all these things

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

  609. Amen. Amen, and Amen, ladies and gentlemen. Until next time,

  610. God bless, godspeed. Thank you for listening to Marinath the Ministries with Matthew
