Yeah. Do you know the Bible is God's Holy Word? Do you know
-
it is inspired, in errant, and infallible? If so, like,
-
share, subscribe and support this podcast. So we are Maranatha Ministries and now
-
Reduction Draweth Nigh. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the program.
-
We are your hosts, Jose and Matthew Night. Where at a very special
-
place here in these Songs of a Sense, this this Book of a Sense
-
tonight. This is this is part ten and well, there's there's a lot
-
here. Here's there's a lot we got to talk about. Let's get let's
-
get Jose's opening comments on it. What's your thoughts? O? Well,
-
Matthew again, it's it's when you read the Psalm, you get the feeling
-
of you know, you've got all these Christians, all these believers who have
-
faith, persecution, who have faith tribulation and distance where they see their everything
-
they've struggled for and suffered for, when they see this realized, when you
-
know what what's been promised to them. Right, what comes to mind is
-
when you read through the Psalm is what the what the martyrs say under the
-
altar and the fifth sealed in their relations have to shit. They actually gave
-
their gave their lives for God and for their belief, and you know they're
-
they're still praying, they're saying, God, you promised that, you know
-
what, Now at the time now for that promise to come true. That
-
that's the feeling I get in here, Matthew. Yeah, when you read
-
it, I can read it for myself and I can I can apply it
-
to my trouble that I'm going through today. But we know, Matthew,
-
everything in the Bible is prophetic, so that that's where we have to turn
-
our eyes to you. Yeah, that's that's where we inevitably have to go
-
to We and we should have to go down that road, no doubt about
-
it. But you know, what you said is really very very pointed.
-
It's a whole lot more pointed than you think, and and I appreciate that.
-
But let's let's do this. Let's let's talk about where we're at,
-
because some of the phraseology here takes you back only to one other place we've
-
been before. But ladies and gentlemen, what Jose said is very important.
-
And let me just ask Cose. So this group in question that you're talking
-
about, these martyrs, their number gets fulfilled, right, I mean literally,
-
they're given white robes, and they're literally specifically told this to wait a
-
little while longer until the number of their station was fulfilled. So, ladies
-
and gentlemen, you should realize the first numbering to take place is the very
-
next chapter. That is the first group of one hundred and forty four thousand.
-
That's literally what that verse says. And there is no beating around the
-
bush. I mean, that is exactly what is stated here. Let me
-
let's just take the time to jump over there to Revelation chapter six and the
-
fifth seal, because it's very pointed what has told them, And there was
-
given to each of them a white robe, and they were told that they
-
should rest for a little while longer until the number of their fellow servants and
-
their brethren who were to be killed, even as they had been, would
-
be completed. Also, now, what a terrible thing to find out.
-
I mean, ladies and gentlemen, let's be obvious one with another. This
-
statement was very pointed. First and foremost you should know this is only talking
-
about males, isn't it, Jose, Yes, it gives two identifiers their
-
fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed even as they had been
-
and this number had already been decided. Jose, what group is this group?
-
Are they? Do they partake in the marriage supper of the Lamb?
-
Do they get they? No? No? What is their job? Their
-
job to protect the bride? Yes, they rule and reign with Christ per
-
Revelation chapter twenty. Correct. So when phraseology comes up in here somebody directing
-
you to say something, you should immediately know who it's talking about. Now,
-
I've said this very thing in the classroom setting, and I've just had
-
people floored. They're like, what are you talking about? I said,
-
we've talked about this type of thing before. You know that you are not
-
going to rule and rn with Christ. That's not part of a marriage.
-
So we've heard this before and one other song, and this song and that
-
psalm makes the book of a sense a triad, and I say that it
-
is shocks the psyche. Well, like, wait a minute, I thought
-
you said there was two apptads. Well, ladies and gentlemen, can you
-
count on your fingers, there's five before, five in the middle, and
-
five after. So let's take a look at this Psalms one, twenty one,
-
twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, and twenty four is five.
-
Add five more and you get to where we're at tonight, and ladies
-
and gentlemen. This phrase, let is real say is also found in Psalm
-
one twenty four. Yes it is, Yes it is. Let me say
-
that again. I'm probably confusing most of you. Okay, Look, there's
-
one twenty one, twenty one, one, twenty two, one, twenty
-
three. Psalm one twenty four is number five. It states in there,
-
let Israel say. Then you have twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven,
-
twenty eight, and this one is the fifth one Pal one twenty nine.
-
It says, let is real say? And then the last five is
-
thirty thirty one, thirty two, thirty three and thirty four. This creates,
-
This turns what is already a set of heptads into a triad. This
-
Psalm and some one twenty four, it creates five before five in the middle
-
of five to after. Do you understand what I'm saying? Hose is that
-
too complicated? No? No, that makes that so we haven't even read
-
it yet. But right now we got to jump back to that psalm and
-
take a look at it. It's really easy to do. You go back
-
to Psalm one twenty four and it stares you right in the face. Let
-
Israel, now say verse one right off the top of the bat. We
-
should have always been asking each other, Well, wait a minute, who
-
is instructing us to say something? I did lightly talk about this before,
-
right, Jose, Yeah, but lightly, I didn't drag it into the
-
dark because we had not got to this one yet. We had not gone
-
to this Psalm yet. So you need to know that Psalms one twenty four,
-
Psalms one twenty nine. They turn the Book of a sense into a
-
triad, and now that you know who it's talking about, because oh,
-
we're not done. There's direct references to the Book of Revelation, direct references
-
to Isaiah, direct references to that most infamous chapter of Chapters Judges chapter chapter
-
five, and the War in Heaven. So, but these things are not
-
even the important things, to be honest with you, because it's almost like
-
this Psalm is disjointed out of time, because it's almost like it's almost like
-
this is built off of Tewod Corinthians chapter four, even though that can't be
-
the case. Now, everybody should know, that's a pretty famous chapter because
-
a Christian rock group that's called Jars of Clay. That's that stanza is where
-
they get this these This stanza is where they get that that title from Jars
-
of Clay. Even though it's not in the kjav or in the New American
-
Standard Bible, the term Jars of Clay is in the English Standard version.
-
But anyway, I've probably got your gears turning. I probably even have Jose's
-
gears turning. Actually, so here we go again, I mean a really
-
shortened to the point. I mean, come on, ladies and gentlemen,
-
what what could you possibly get out of this? I mean, we're less
-
than ten verses. What could possibly be here? When you read it in
-
English? I mean it's a nice read, right, Jose, Yes it
-
is. I mean it's a it's a very pleasant read and reassuring that no
-
matter what happens, uh, you know, we're going to be taken care
-
of. But it should have always caught your attention. Who's telling us to
-
say something? Because once again, let's make sure everybody has this down pack.
-
Who is Israel? Israel is enough? Matthew, that's right? Yes,
-
So that that follow the sun follow Jesus Christ. You know what what
-
we would call Christians today, but we're talking about those that are true Christians,
-
because you know, there's many that are Christian name only. But yeah,
-
essentially those that understand that Jesus Christ is their savior, is their redeemer,
-
and that's what they have their hopeing and understand what God's talking about when
-
he's talking about the His body being the temple, establishing the Kingdom of God
-
on earth as it is in heaven. You know that this is you know
-
this, this all adds into it. But yes, that we are instant
-
one things for sure. You're really going to have that rammed down in Second
-
Corinthians chapter four. You're you're really going to have that rammed down. A
-
very complicated chapter. You know, we we we're not going to look into
-
the original languages of Second Corinthians chapter four. That's just way too much to
-
bite off because we have to we have to concentrate here and we have to
-
concentrate on what is to come. So who read last time? Jose was
-
it you or me? Yep? I think I did. Matthew, Oh
-
you read? So now I get to read? All right? Good deal.
-
So Psalms one nine. This is now write this down, ladies and
-
gentlemen. This is chapter ten in the Book of a Sense. It's chapter
-
ten. Remember, someone is commanding the chosen people to say something, just
-
like the fifth chapter did. The fifth chapter of the Book of a Sense
-
is Psalm one twenty four. This is chapter ten. So this is Psalm
-
one twenty nine, a song of a sense. Many times they have persecuted
-
me from my youth up. Let Israel now say, many times they have
-
persecuted me from my youth up. Yet they have not prevailed against me.
-
The plowers plowed upon my back, they lengthen their furrows. The Lord is
-
righteous. He has cut in two chords of the wicked. May all who
-
hate Zion be put to shame and turn backward. Let them be like grass
-
upon the housetops, which withers before it grows up, with which the reaper
-
does not feel his hand, or the binder of sheaves his bosom. Nor
-
do those who pass by say, the blessing of the Lord is upon you.
-
We bless you in the name of the Lord. Oh, my goodness,
-
you know that last verse really does stick it. I mean that,
-
I mean, ladies, and gentlemen, if you if anyway I read it,
-
hose your your comments, please, So, Matthew, this is this
-
is where I you know, I say that it reminds me of what the
-
martyrs are saying in the Revelations chapter six, because if if you can,
-
if you can picture someone who's you know, tried their hardest to follow God's
-
commandments, tried their hardest to follow the beatitude, you know, read their
-
Bible, prayed continuously, you know, thack office so much to help others
-
around them, you know, which is what we imagine the martyrs being,
-
right when we read the stories of the martyrs, and yet they still end
-
up end up dying, Matthew, they still end up being killed for their
-
faith. And you can look at it and you can say, well that's
-
not fair. You can look at it and say, well, God's not
-
futilit in his promises. But still even though they that these martyrs have died
-
for believing and having faith in God and in his son, they they're still
-
they're still there praying, and they're still there believing in the promises that God
-
gave them. And so that's what that's what I get when I read this,
-
this, this chapter Matthew this song uh and and it was kind of
-
reinforced because where it took me to was Hosea, chapter eleven, the first
-
stand up. So if I can, I'll read the first four verses for
-
us, because it hadn't here. And this dans of the words youth and
-
the word chord, which we see and saw one twenty nine. So it
-
says, when Israel was a youth, I loved him, and out of
-
Egypt I called my son. The more they called them, the more they
-
went from them. They kept sacrificing to the ball and burning incense to idols.
-
Yet it is I who taught Frian to walk. I took them in
-
my arms, but they did not know that I healed them. I led
-
them with chords of a man, with bonds of love. And I became
-
to them as one who lists the yoke from their jobs. And I bent
-
down and sad them. And so I mean, you know this, This
-
describes how a martyr math you can keep enduring even through persecution and tribulation.
-
God himself has to come down and feed you spiritually, because otherwise you can't
-
endure. Otherwise you're going to break. Otherwise you're going to take them art
-
right like we're told. So this dad that here match is perfectly nine for
-
me, Matthew. And and then when you add in the fact that it's
-
talking about the balls and the idols, well that's who persecuted the prophets,
-
right, Matthew. And in the Old Testiments, as the prophets were trying
-
to go and spread God's word and warn the people, his bigger, biggest
-
persecutors were those that worship ball and set up set up their temples and their
-
altars the ball to try to again because they hate they hate Zion like we're
-
told them only nine. So that's where this alm led me initially, Matthew.
-
Well, yes, that was That's one of the primary things. I
-
mean, my cross references I have was to that very place. And you
-
know what, let me just ask everybody this who who was misleading Israel?
-
There was the one that was burning this incense to the bales. Who was
-
doing that, lazy gentlemen? Was the priest? They had gone so far
-
right of center. And I hope all of you have taken a listen to
-
jose and I's series on the Slaughter of the Shepherds, because the passage is
-
that he read from. And well, they speak to that, don't they?
-
Who was misleading Israel? Jose it was the clergy? Yes, and
-
take note, who in this circumstance would be ordering Israel to say something.
-
It's here, it's interwoven, of course, the clergy. Who's going to
-
be the clergy during the millennial reign of Christ. Who's going to be the
-
clergy? There is no debating what God himself says. It's very clear who
-
the clergy is. And in Revelation chapter twenty, just go take a look
-
at it. It's very clear it states. And you know, I don't
-
suggest anybody try to tear apart Revelation chapter eleven, verse four if you don't
-
have any experience with quinny of Greek, because you talk about a complicated verse,
-
you might as well say this is a paragraphic Greek. But anyway,
-
then I saw thrones, and they that set on them, a judgment was
-
given to them. I saw the souls who had been beheaded because of their
-
testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had
-
not worshiped the beast or his image, had not received the mark on their
-
forehead and on their hand and they came to life and bringed with Christ for
-
a thousand years period period period. That's your clergy. Now take note,
-
this actually finished the verse that I read from in Revelation chapter six. I
-
mean it come right out and said that these had been killed. That's that's
-
the problem here. These are the ones that had been killed. And you
-
heard me read from Revelation chapter six. Ladies and gentlemen, it was very
-
clear what God was saying to those under the altar. I'll read it again,
-
verse eleven. There was given to each of them a white robe,
-
and they were told that they should rest for a little while longer until the
-
number of their fellows, nervants, and their brethren who were to be killed
-
even as they had been, would be completed. Also, so you need
-
to know who is going to be ordering you to say something as you go
-
up to celebrate the feast of boost and the millennial reign of Christ. Remember
-
this is all from Zachariah chapter fourteen. This is all from Zachariah chapter fourteen.
-
This is going to happen, And now you know who's going to be
-
leading the freight, because right in the middle, I mean, God did
-
this so mechanically perfect. It's gonna blow your mind. First, he tells
-
you in the at the end of the first triad, and he reminds you
-
at the second triad. You can't get around who is who is leading up
-
the people as they traverse the great plane of the earth to get Jerusalem for
-
the feast of booths once a year. And it's been perfectly woven into this
-
very short chapter in marvelous ways, in marvelous ways. It's been woven in
-
a year in marvelous way. You know. Let's take a look here.
-
Let me ask you this, Jose, how many antagonists does this chapter mention?
-
Well, ladies and gentlemen on the surface, if you just read this
-
in English, it should come out to you pretty clear. Verse three says
-
the flowers. Verse seven says the reapers, or some translations say the mowers.
-
But you know, basically the same thing. To cut down, these
-
are the antagonists here. But you know, for for time's sake, I
-
better talk about what needs to be talked about. I've already mentioned, uh,
-
Second Corinthians, Chapter four, the ladies and gentlemen, and that can
-
add one thing, Matthew, before you move on, Oh sure, get
-
to add on to what you're saying about the priests leading Israel Austraight. You
-
know in the past, when I read my Bible or I've heard the stories,
-
right, I pictured is that that the sacrifices to the balls are are
-
occurring on other altars on other high mountains away from the Temple of God.
-
But in seventeen sixteen, and we've gone over this, when they has has
-
has your riot, the priest actually build the altar inside the Temple of God.
-
That's that's how far it went. Where the high priest himself followed the
-
orders of the king and built an altar to to strange God inside the House
-
of God and actually did sacrifice it inside the Temple of God. That that's
-
how that's how far down it went, right, And and you know,
-
we know that's an example of what's going to happen what we're told about in
-
the Book of Revelation with the with the beast and with the false prophet.
-
I mean, that's exactly what they're going to do when they when they raised
-
that that idol and Revelation thirteen and force everyone to worship it. So you
-
know, it's not it's not it's not just the simple you know, driving
-
people astray. It's it's it was way worse than that, Matthew. Actually,
-
you know, actually doing God's safe and sensus you know, oh yeah,
-
oh yeah, absolutely, And it's a good thing you brought that chapter
-
because you're right back to the days of Elijah. How long does the New
-
Testament twice? It says it twice. How long was the days of Elijah?
-
It says exactly three years and six months. You're supposed to know the
-
Great Tribulation is mimicked in that, and that is when Elijah was dancing with
-
Jezebel. I mean, this is I mean, if you can't and you
-
can't put two and two together, we don't have time to do it right
-
here now, I wanted to bring up so is are you good with that
-
part, Jose or did you have more to all right, no, Matthew,
-
So let's go back to verse two. It says, many times they
-
have persecuted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me,
-
ladies and general. I'm i'm, I mean, there's no way around
-
Second Corinthians, Chapter four. I mean, let me just piecemeal out of
-
here, verses eight and nine. We are afflicted in every way, but
-
not crushed, perplexed but not despairing, persecuted and not forsaken, struck down
-
but not destroyed. That's first say, I mean that is that one verse
-
is Psalm. But boy does this chapter have some very staunch theology in it.
-
I'm gonna start reading this, this entire stanza here, which is verse
-
seven through twelve. And take note this first verse here. You're gonna hear
-
me say earth and vessels, but the English Standard version says jars of clay,
-
which both both translations work. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels,
-
so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not
-
from ourselves. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed, perplexed
-
but not despairing, persecuted but not forsaken, struck down but not destroyed.
-
Always caring about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life
-
of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. For we who live are
-
constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of
-
Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death works in us,
-
but life in you. Now, ladies and gentlemen, the verses I
-
just read. If you didn't understand the verse that I read from in Revelation
-
chapter six and the one from Revelation chapter twenty, I mean, you do
-
understand this group we're talking about one hundred and forty four thousand. This is
-
why the Lord Jesus Christ has the name krow totkoas Necros. He is the
-
first foreign from the dead. These are the ones who follow him. I
-
mean, when you put two and two together, ladies and gentlemen startling,
-
it's almost like verses seven through twelve of Second Corinthians chapter four. It's almost
-
like it's written in future hints, and it is talking about this group of
-
resurrected martyr. Now take note, they obviously had to be somewhere that you
-
weren't, right Jose, Yeah, I mean, ladies and gentlemen, I
-
want you to think about your theology. You know full well that God tells
-
you that there will be those who are alive and remain correct Jose correct,
-
It should be perfectly obvious to you, ladies and gentlemen, that they were
-
someplace different than you. Now, I strongly suggest that you go check out
-
the series Jose and I did on the Slaughter of the Shepherds, because God
-
talks about this more than once, doesn't he Jose ypes he does. And
-
ladies and gentlemen, boy, this chapter is a lot. It's it's a
-
lot to bite off. This is Oh my goodness, Hose, would you
-
do us a favor and just take the time to read all eighteen verses of
-
this chapter. Second Corinthians, Chapter four, Yeah, I can do that.
-
Please do all right, I'm reading now the NAFB ninety five. Therefore,
-
since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not
-
lose heart. But we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not
-
walking in cracktiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of
-
truth, amending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. And
-
even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,
-
in whose case the God of this world has blinded the minds of the
-
unbelieving, so that they might not see the light of the Gospel, of
-
the glory of Christ with the image of God. But we do not preach
-
our selves for Christ, Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond servants,
-
for Jesus sake. For God who said light shall shine out of darkness,
-
it is the one who has shown in our hearts to give the light
-
of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But
-
we have this treasure in earth and vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of
-
the power will be of God and not from ourselves. We are afflicted in
-
every way, but not crushed, perplexed but not despairing, persecuted but not
-
forsakens, struck down but not destroyed. Always caring about in the body the
-
dying of Jesus, so that the lives of Jesus also may be manifested in
-
our body. But we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for
-
jesus sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our
-
mortal flesh. So death works in us, but life in you. But
-
having the same spirit of faith. According to what is written, I believed,
-
therefore I spoke, We also believe. Therefore we also speak, knowing
-
that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and
-
will present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, so
-
that the grace which is spreading to more and more people may cause the giving
-
the thanks to a bound to the glory of God. Therefore we do not
-
lose heart, but through our outer man is decaying, Yet our inner man
-
is being renewed day by day, for momentary light affliction is producing for an
-
eternal weight of glory, far beyond all comparison. While we look not at
-
the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen.
-
For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not
-
seen are eternal. Well, the headicap of their Matthew, does that not
-
in great detail? If you have eyes to see this details in great detail
-
this particular group, doesn't it? Jose? Yes, and yep. It's
-
enough to blow your mind once you know what you're looking at. Once you
-
know what you're looking at, you're like, wait a minute, it's enough
-
to to blow your mind. Let's get to the prophecy part of this,
-
shall we. You know, ladies and gentlemen, I have here my nats
-
the New English translation of the Subcugin. Let me read for you what you
-
know what, Let's go ahead and go back to the Mesoretic, and how
-
does it say? It says it says many times they have persecuted me from
-
my youth. Up. Let Israel say, many times they have persecuted me
-
from my youth. Up. This is what the subculagion says, often they
-
have made war against me from my youth. Do let Israel say often they
-
made war against me from my youth. Out of all the things I could
-
share with you, what this chapter is showing you, I'm going to take
-
you to the most obvious of places. It's really staring you right in the
-
face. Because ladies and gentlemen in Greek, this is G forty one seventy.
-
It's G forty one seventy. Oh mao, oh mao. You know
-
what's enough to blow your mind? Is this case and form. This exact
-
case informs only one time in the New Testament, just once, concerning this
-
exact group Revelation, Chapter twelve, verse seven. And there was war in
-
heaven Michael his angels waging war, and the dragon and the dragon and his
-
angels raged war. Now take note it's also in the last verse, verse
-
seventeen, So the dragon was enraged with the woman on one off to make
-
war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and
-
hold to the testimony of Jesus. And of course you know how they died,
-
don't you. I already read it to you how they die. I
-
already read it to you why they died. Because there is a certain number
-
of them that had to be smartred. There was literally a numerical requirement.
-
And if you were looking at the Greek you would have saw these words.
-
Now, the exact case and form that's in verse seven, But here in
-
verse seventeen, it's a different case, same word. Ladies and gentlemen,
-
jose and I have told you, and told you, and told you and
-
told you this. It's the other group of one hundred and forty four thousand
-
that triggers the war in verse seven. That's the war in heaven, the
-
war that occurs on us or them? Shall I say, is the dragon
-
goes off to kill the rest of them. I mean, it's to me,
-
it's so plain in the text. It's startling. But ladies and gentlemen,
-
this exact case and form is also in Judges chapter five, verse twenty.
-
I'll read it for you out of the New American Standard Bible. The
-
stars of heaven fought from heaven, from the courses, they fought against Sisera.
-
The torret of the Kashan swept them away. The ancient torre it the
-
tort Kishon. Oh my soul, march on with strength. Then the horse's
-
hoofs beat from dashing, the dashing of his valiant deeds. Curse Murrahs,
-
said the Angel of the Lord, utterly curse its inhabitants, because they did
-
not come to the help of the Lord. To the help of the Lord
-
against the warriors. Now, I'm not going to spend a whole lot of
-
time doing exe Jesus here. Yes, this is a reference to the war
-
in heaven and a direct reference to the one third of the angels which Satan
-
will drag out of heaven with his tail. It just told you the leader,
-
so to speak. So Psalms chapter one nine had a whole lot more
-
to say than anybody thought. But on the backdrop of Second Corinthians chapter four,
-
Jose, wouldn't you call that almost overwhelming? Yes? It is,
-
yep. I mean, if you don't have eyes that concede before you read
-
the eighteen verses of Second Corinthians chapter four. You do afterword? I mean
-
you and I have talked about this group hundreds of times, right, Jose,
-
Yes, And let's not be around the bush. Obviously. Verse eight
-
is directly taken from the Hebrew text of Psalm one verse two. I mean
-
you might as well say it was built off of it, right, right,
-
or vice versa. So it's amazing how you can't put two and two
-
together until you get your hands in the Bible, God's Holy Word. I
-
mean, it really is enough to blow your mind, yeah, Matthew.
-
And and and when you read as you were reading those verses, what what
-
it reinforced for me? And what with the other verses it that it may
-
bring sue for me? Were verses like like Matthew ten twenty eight right where
-
Jesus says, do not fear those who will kill the body but are unable
-
to kill the soul, but rather fear him who is able to destroy both
-
soul and body in hell. And I mean, that's that's exactly what we're
-
talking about here, Matthew, God God telling you don't don't worry about that
-
physical persecution because you know your soul is going to be intact. Well,
-
it goes farther than that. Say that quote again plays all right at the
-
NFB. It says, I do not be afraid of those who kill the
-
body but are unable to kill the soul, but rather fear him who is
-
able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Okay, ladies and gentlemen,
-
now is Jose putting that two and two together? These they're not gonna
-
go to hell. Ladies and gentlemen, open your eyes. Look, look,
-
let me just read the entire passage. Okay, I need to read
-
the whole thing so everybody gets what's he's saying. Ladies and gentlemen. The
-
Lord Jesus Christ is directly pointing you to the group that's gonna rule and reign
-
with him. And he just said, look, they're not gonna go to
-
Hades. When the lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar.
-
Let me read that one more time. Maybe it confused you. When
-
the lamb broke the fifth Seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of
-
those who had been slain because of the Word of God and because of the
-
testimony which they had maintained and they cried out with a loud voice, saying,
-
how long, o Lord, Holy and true, will you refrain from
-
judging at you know, avenging? Out were blood on those who dwell on
-
the earth. And there was given to each of them a white robe.
-
And they were told that they should rest for a little while longer until the
-
number of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed, even
-
as they had been, would be completed. Also, and take note,
-
even the disciples didn't understand that Jesus was speaking prophetically. But how many that
-
were listening to his voice that day, how many of them were martyred?
-
Jose Right, So when you have eyes that can see, oh my goodness,
-
you can see past the horizon, you can understand what twilight is.
-
Which twilight, ladies and gentlemen, it's eight degrees it's eight degrees below the
-
horizon. That's what it is. You know. We could never spend too
-
much time in Second Corinthians chapter four. I mean, now that we've let
-
the cat out of the bag, people are I mean, especially people that
-
have participated in this ministry for over a decade. They're like, wait a
-
minute, this is what it's talking about. Now backup, ladies and gentlemen.
-
Yes, Second Corinthians Chapter four is definitely talking about the Church and those
-
who are saying it is talking about those things, isn't it, Jose?
-
Yes, But once you see the prophetic side of it, oh my goodness,
-
this is absolutely talking about those of the First Resurrection. It's not talking
-
about anybody else. And it's just chilling to think that. I mean,
-
once you know all of this, you have to sit there and think to
-
yourself. Yeah, but the Psalms was written first. Psalms one in twenty
-
nine was written thousands of years before, I mean, completely disconnected in time,
-
and yet it took both. I mean, we've taught a lot today
-
from the mesoretic text. That's what we read this out of. We read
-
this from the Hebrew. We used a New American Standard Bible. But that's
-
what we built the whole lesson around of this. This from the subtuction,
-
and I only covered one word, but you'll take note that it was a
-
binary code. Jose read for as Psalms one twenty nine out of the New
-
American Standard Bible. Again, please right, a song of a sense.
-
Many times they have persecceeded me from my youth up that Israel now say many
-
times they have persecuted me from my youth up, Yet they had not prevailed
-
against me. The plowers plowed upon my back, they lengthen their furrows.
-
The Lord is righteous, he has cut into the chords of the wicked.
-
May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backwards. Let them
-
be like grass upon the hottops, which withers before it grows up, with
-
which the reaper does not fill his hand, or the binder of sheaves his
-
bosom. Nor do those who pass by say, the blessing of the Lord
-
be upon you. We bless you in the name of the Lord. Okay,
-
so you got that down pretty pat right, Jose, Yeah, let
-
me rattle your cage. This is from the nets, ladies and gentlemen,
-
an ode of the steps. Often they made war against me from my youth.
-
Do let Israel say often they made war against me from my youth.
-
Indeed they did not prevail against me on my back. The sinners were practicing
-
their skill. They prolonged their lawlessness. The Righteous Lord hut up necks of
-
sinners. Let all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward.
-
Let them become like grass on rooftops that withered before it was pulled out,
-
with which no reaper filled his hands. And a gatherer of sheeves the folds
-
of his garment. And those who were passing by did not say, the
-
blessing of the Lord be upon you. We have blessed you in the name
-
of the Lord. Did you catch that? For next ose? Mm hm,
-
yep. The Righteous Lord cut up next of sinners. I mean,
-
it's pretty plain to this text, Jose that if somebody would have just thought
-
to read it in the Septusian, it would have got your attention. Let
-
me read verse four out of another Septusian. This is the Lexum Septus.
-
In verse four, the Righteous Lord cut off the necks of sin ladies and
-
gentlemen. And if you need a hint, you ain't got a clue.
-
The Bible, God's Holy Word is a binary language. It's binary. It's
-
ones and zeros, it's ones and zeros, it's Hebrew and Greek. Now,
-
if this is the first time you've ever participated in the Maranatha ministries,
-
you'll know full well you've never heard no one say that before. But I
-
can prove to you beyond any shadow of doubt, the message being related here
-
in Hebrew or Greek can only be talking about your clergy inside the millennial reign
-
of Christ. And I'm going to tell you right now, when they whistle,
-
you're going to reply, because when they say many times they fought against
-
me from my youth, you're going to repeat after them. Oh, yes
-
you are. Now. It's probably shocking to you. You're probably scrambling thinking
-
to yourself, well, I don't remember what Some one twenty four said?
-
What does that have to offer? Did we not cover that? Jose?
-
Yes he did. I mean, we obviously don't have time to go back
-
through that whole chapter, do we. Nope? So, Jose, how
-
many verses are in some one twenty nine? Let me come back there.
-
I count eight versus Matthew. Well, guess how many's in some one twenty
-
four? Jose, eight, that's right. Eight verses? Read it a
-
song of a sense of David. Had it not been the Lord who was
-
on our side? Let Israel now say, had it not been the Lord
-
who was on our side when men rose up against us, then they would
-
have swallowed us a lie when their anger was kindled against us. Ladies and
-
gentlemen, are you hearing something? Because I am I know who was swallowed
-
up by their earth? Do you remember that in numbers hose Yep, Let
-
me keep breathing. Not that I want to stop. I'm just pointing it
-
out. When their anger was kindled against us, when the waters would have
-
engulfed us, the stream would have swept over our soul. Then the raging
-
waters would have swept over our soul. Blessed be the Lord who has not
-
given us to be born by their teeth. Our soul has escaped as a
-
bird out of a snare of a trapper. The snare is broken, and
-
we have escaped. Our help is the name of the Lord who made the
-
heaven and earth. What's this saying? Ladies and gentlemen, Now that I've
-
read it to you, now you understand this duality. It's having the clergy
-
that's telling you to say this. They were not you were. There is
-
a guff of separation between you. You have been taken to a place prepared
-
exactly like Revelation Chapter twelve states and guess what that's right? This group.
-
Once the devil saw that he couldn't engage you and hurt you. What does
-
it say? So the dragon was arranged with the woman and went off to
-
make war with the rest of her children. It just stated some one four
-
stated that you were delivered from that snare, but they want you were delivered,
-
but the rest of her children were not. I'll read this verse again.
-
So the dragon was a rachel woman and went off to make what was
-
the rest of her children? Who keep the commandments of God and holds the
-
testimony of Jesus. Imagine the things you could have learned about this group if
-
somebody would have just told you, Hey, by the way, you need
-
to know that the Book of a Sense is a triad. You have the
-
first five, the second five, and the third five. And if you
-
don't know those chapters that broke in between twenty four and twenty nine, just
-
imagine how much you could have figured out if you'd have known all this beforehand.
-
Ladies and gentlemen, you could have made up this Bible lesson for me
-
and jose to do. But once you know, once you can see beyond
-
the words, it will blow the doors off your mind. It'll blow the
-
lids off your eyeballs. Now, I mean, just what we covered.
-
I mean, let me read that stanza again. I've got to read this
-
stanza again from Second Corinthians, chapter four, verse seven through twelve. But
-
we have the treasure in earthen vessels, so that surpassing greatness of power will
-
be of God and not from ourselves. We are afflicted in every way,
-
but not crushed, perplexed but not despairing, persecuted but not forsaken, struck
-
down but not destroyed. Who else could this be talking about? Ladies and
-
gentlemen? Revelation chapter seven said, this angel arises, the angel who marks
-
for death a man Jose amen ded. Did we not do an episode on
-
that he who marks for death? Yes, he says, everybody, Wait,
-
I've got to seal these first, and he seals them and then they're
-
martyred. Who else is this they get beheaded? Let me finish reading verse
-
ten, always caring about in the body the dying of Jesus, who,
-
Jose, don't play games with me. Who else could he possibly be talking
-
about except the rest of those who have risen from the dead. I mean,
-
his name is Crow Totko Gross. He's the firstborn from the dead.
-
This is the rest of the group who else could I be talking about.
-
Nope, no one else, Matthew. That's that's it lines up with everything
-
else that we've been reading. I mean, let me read that again,
-
always caring about in the body, the dying of Jesus, so that the
-
life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body, For we who live
-
are constantly being delivered over to death for jesus sake, so that the life
-
of Jesus may also be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death works in
-
us, but life in you, ladies and gentlemen. This verse, I
-
just read it. That's talking about the bride. Death reigns in those of
-
the First Resurrection, but life reigns in the bride. That's enough to blow
-
your mind, isn't it. Jose, Yes, the ends matth. Time
-
for closing comments, What say you, jose Oh, Matthew, just a
-
couple of closing comments, Matthew. Ten eight. The word for hell there
-
is cahanda, which is where we're told that the beef and everyone that took
-
the marks is thrown into because they took the mark. And so that contract
-
that Jesus put for a is showing that distinction those that take the mark of
-
the beats and those that don't. And then, of course I think the
-
listeners should read the letters just to the Church and Smyrna in Revelations chapter two.
-
Is that expound not more and more on what we've been talking about than
-
the exact same thing. Don't fear those who can destroy the body, but
-
him who can destroy the soul. So those are my clothes and comments in
-
the Matthew. Aymen, aymen, you know what. I think. I'll
-
take a look at that after we're done. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
-
let's close this out in prayer. Dear heavenly Father, whom we serve
-
through your son and our savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, please fill us
-
with your holy Spirit of Lord, so that we will be pleasing and acceptable
-
in your sights, Oh Lord, our Rock and our redeemer. Dear Lord,
-
please open our eyes so that we can see. Open our ears so
-
that we can hear what your spirit is saying to the Church's Lord, we
-
hold fast to the promises that you have stated the Spirit of Truth would come
-
to us and show us what is to come. Give us the strength and
-
the courage to implement your plans for our life. Dear Lord, I pray
-
that you send your Holy Spirit to heal the minds of the listeners that have
-
been that have scarring on their psyche from false teaching. There's nothing for it
-
but you, Oh Lord Lord. Please, I I pray that you might
-
give someone that's listening to my voice simians assurance. Let one of us be
-
given Simian's assurance. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I pray
-
Amen and Amen Amen. Until next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless
-
God speed. Thank you for listening to Marinath the Ministries with Matthew Miller.
