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 Redemption Draweth
-
nine. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program. We are
-
your host Jose and Matthew. Tonight we're getting back to the Book of a
-
Sense. Very important chapter here. This is part nine. This is the
-
ninth chapter in the Book of a Sense, this being Psalm one eight.
-
It's a fancy free five verses. I mean, how how much easier can
-
we get to that? Uh? It could be pretty straightforward. I mean
-
we should be through here, lickety split, right, I mean it should
-
be no problem whatsoever. So, uh, you know, uh, just
-
for argument's sake, let's say we are going to do an hour. Do
-
you think God has left enough information here for us to cover in one hour?
-
Most definitely, Matthew. I mean, it hasn't failed us in the
-
previous songs of a Sense that we've done. It's it's just it to me.
-
It just amazes me how much God can pack into into these five or
-
six verses that he always leads for us. And and I'm just I'm just
-
amazed how it's kind of like it's it's kind of like that that cement that
-
that grout Matthew, in between blocks, right, a small, small chapter,
-
small, you know, small amount of verses, but boy, it
-
cements everything else that we you know, in the bigger chapters that we read.
-
It really cements it all together. And again, no contradictions with what
-
what God has already said, but a beautiful, concise way to remind us
-
of what he said before. Because when you read these small songs, Matthew,
-
that it just takes you to you know, every other chapter that you
-
can remember in the Bible, so that this these these these songs are are
-
beautiful. And you know that that's a really good question. Have you ever
-
heard any sermons or anything on this chapter in the Bible? No, I
-
haven't, Matthew. Uh have you ever heard these quoted somewhere? I'm sure
-
I have. I mean, they're they're beautiful verses, so I wouldn't doubt
-
that they've been quoted before. I wouldn't doubt that either. But yet we
-
have to admit that, you know, you don't hear a whole lot of
-
people talking about so on one twenty eight. It just it just doesn't come
-
come up, right, I mean, it literally does not come up.
-
So you know that that makes you well, that makes you wonder how this
-
chapter can possibly have any important you know, versus in it, or any
-
importance at all. I mean, and it really is that that simple.
-
It really is that cut and chase. I mean, when you go to
-
online resources and you start doing searches for this chapter, you're not going to
-
find a whole lot. You're you're just not going to find very much there.
-
Now, take no, you can go to online resources like Blue Letter
-
Bible. Go to their page that has parallel passages in the New Testament quoted
-
from the Old Testament. Go to that page. Of the five pages of
-
cross references you have here, not one cross reference in the New Testament to
-
Palm one twenty eight, not one. So when we read it, if
-
you're not looking for anything, I mean, you're wondering why this is in
-
the Bible, right, Hoseen right, I mean, because when you just
-
read over it, it makes you wonder. Look, ladies, the Bible,
-
God's holy word means something, and God don't just run around and go
-
and put it in the Bible, Okay, I mean every reference we have
-
to God speaking directly to a subject, it's the Gospel truth. He don't
-
mince word, and he certainly don't waste his breath. So what's with these
-
five verses? I mean, surely they have to give us something. Surely
-
they've been putting God's word for a reason. I mean, that's the only
-
thing that makes sense. They're here for a reason. But you know,
-
I've been saying something here for a couple of times. No doubt that anybody
-
catched it. I've been saying there's been five verses in this chapter when there's
-
not. There's six. I guarantee you not one person listening to Jose and
-
I right now knew that there's six verses here. You didn't even have the
-
wherewithal to correct me, did you? Because if you read through the through
-
the Bible, you know many people have these read through the Bible in a
-
year program, right right. You obviously can't study the Bible at that pace,
-
can you, Jose, Because you're doing you're doing like three or four
-
or five chapters a day, right right, And they're just blowing through it.
-
And they love this chapter, right because they can read write through.
-
There's nothing really there. It has no substance, right, There's just some
-
stuff thrown together. But to me, I know there's something here. I
-
don't need to question myself about that issue. I know that God's going to
-
tell me some things, and he'll give me at least some key phrases that
-
is gonna catch my attention. He's at least gonna do that so I will
-
know where to go. He will trigger remembrancers, That's what he's gonna do
-
because he's expecting me to know the rest of the story. He loved me
-
enough to write it. He loved me enough to send the very word of
-
God himself to crucify himself for me. So surely I should take the time
-
to understand this is something very important. I mean, if God's gonna go
-
through all that trau, He's at least expecting me to watch to listen to
-
one. I mean, how many people is desiring to read this chapter and
-
it revealed anything to them at all? Right? How many people have that
-
funder jose? Right? Because if you're hungry, you won't have to look
-
very far into this chapter. Just open up the Hebrew or the Greek and
-
start looking at it, and I guarantee you he'll catch your attention, he'll
-
do something. So with that in mind, let's tread lightly through these six
-
verses because it's six steps, and how many steps did God take in the
-
beginning? Jose, yep, six days? That's right, you know.
-
On my Patreon I was talking about that several weeks ago, I did a
-
video presentation on when is my and people don't realize this. You know what
-
the Israelis use right now, an all Judaist. Their word for Monday is
-
the first day. Their word for Tuesday is the second day, just like
-
you see in Genesis chapter one. Guess what the Sabbath does not mean the
-
seventh day. It means to rest. You rest from counting, ladies and
-
gentlemen. Most of you don't even have the wherewithal to understand that that's where
-
the devil has you in those details, because Jose Jose and I both know
-
how God ordered you to count the orders you count as soon as you see
-
the first liver of the new mood. Ladies, John, that's not the
-
first day of the month, that's Monday. Don't insult my intelligence. You
-
don't know when Monday is until you see the first liver of the new moon.
-
That's not the first calendar day of the year. God never said.
-
Did God ever say to count the days of the year, Jose, Nope,
-
No he didn't. Ludies, gentlemen, it is the Sabbath until you
-
Well, you didn't catch that, did you. I mean, don't you
-
all have the wherewithought to know that you can go up to three days without
-
saying the first liver of the new moon, because if it's only one percent,
-
you can't see it. I just shocked you didn't. I you mean
-
that God's authorizing you to just just keep gooding days in the month until you
-
see the first liver. Yeah, because the Sabbath is always one of four
-
things. It's never anything else. And you don't have the authority to tell
-
me what the Sabbath is. Does the Sabbath the new moon, it's the
-
full moon, it's the first quarter, and it's the last quarter. It
-
is. I don't need you to tell me what Sunday is, what you
-
call the sabbath, however you want to put it. I know when the
-
Sabbath is. This is why the passover is always on the full moon.
-
Well, ladies, and gentlemen. So I mean, if you're having trouble
-
with well, well, this is what the entire business on this whole planet's
-
based off of. That's right. Let's take where I work. We get
-
deliveries on Mondays, right, and that's marked out in the calendar that's coming
-
in June twenty seventh, whatever date. God says. If you do that,
-
you're going to be enslaved by men. God says, you count the
-
first day when you see the first liver of the new moon. You don't
-
start the month until then. Wow, how many people just figured out what
-
I just said? Truth? Go ahead, go to the online resources and
-
look up and see what they call Monday. Go look and see me take
-
off Friday. Yeah, on the Saturday, you're not allowed to count.
-
You rest because God rested on that day. That Hebrew word for rest that
-
seventh it's not seven. So with that in mind, there's probably a whole
-
lot here. You should understand that this is six for a reason. There's
-
six verses here for really whopping good reason. I mean, I'm expecting him
-
to tell me that after six days, I'm done. That's what I'm expecting
-
him to say to me. I could be wrong, right, Jose,
-
could be could be. No, We're about to do it and find out.
-
So I'm pretty sure I read last time, didn't I? Yes,
-
all right, you got the mic, all right. So again we're in
-
Psalm one eight and I'm reading out of the NASB a song of a sense.
-
How blessed is everyone who fears the Lord who walks in his ways.
-
When you shall eat the fruit of your hands, you will be happy,
-
and it will be well with you. Your wife shall be like a fruitful
-
vine within your house, your children like olive plants around your table. Behold,
-
for thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord. The Lord
-
bless you from Zion. And may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the
-
days of your life. Indeed, may you see your children's children. Peace
-
be upon Israel. Well, what did you hear there? I mean,
-
because I know what I hear. I mean, I hear fourteen verses myself.
-
That's what I hear. So you guys, go ahead, Matthew,
-
No, no, no, you go ahead. No, I'm gonna say.
-
I was gonna say that you kind of get a little bit of it
-
makes you do a double take with the phrase the fruit of your hands,
-
because as a Christian, Matthew, we're accustomed to hearing to saying that the
-
lords will be done, let us do his work. Let us, you
-
know, try to emulate Christ by doing the things of the Father, right
-
right, you know? Uh? And he tells us, you know,
-
pray, pray for labors because the harvest is plenty, but the workers are
-
few, right amen? Amen? So yeah, that that that whole idea
-
that we are an extension of Christ. We're supposed to be doing God's work.
-
We're supposed to be winning souls for the kingdom of heaven. Right,
-
Yes, we're supposed to be getting people born again. That's what we're supposed
-
to be doing. Right, whatever, whatever earthly work that we pretend to
-
do, that's not that's not the important thing. That's not the work that
-
we're supposed to be attending to. And so when you when I initially read
-
that, read that phrase, it could take you in that direction that what
-
you toil and what you put as important will be fruitful, right, because
-
God's blessing you. But there's more versus, Matthew, that that we can
-
go to that directre that directed us again to it what Jesus said and what
-
you just said previously about what that work is supposed to be and why that
-
work is being blessed. So this takes me well. First, the first
-
place that took me, Matthew, was was to Psalm chapter one, right,
-
and it tells us that blessed is a man that walks not in the
-
council of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, or council
-
of the in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the
-
law of the Lord. And in his law does he meditate day and night,
-
and again it keeps going on. He shall be like a tree planted
-
by the rivers of water that brings forth fruit, brings forth fruit in his
-
season. His lief also shall not wither, and whatever he does shall prosper.
-
So just just right there, just with that that first saw, Matthew,
-
it leads you in to what God's talking about, to how it lines
-
up with what Christ tells us, tells us, lines up with what the
-
Apostles tells us, and what the what the whole of the New Testament tells
-
us, well, what we're supposed to be doing, where we're supposed to
-
be toiling and like you said, winning souls for the kingdom. That's that's
-
our job. I mean, you know, you're right that this this phraseology.
-
You're you're well, you're expecting him to say the fruit of the womb,
-
right, right, And he does kind of prophetically come out and say
-
that, right, he beats around the bush to say it. But that's
-
what you're expecting him to say, you know, the and and and ladies
-
and gentlemen. John chapter three and first Peter chapter one is very clear.
-
You must be born again and this should be the fruit of our labor.
-
We should be proselytizing people. That's it. That's an outlaw word, now,
-
is it? In Jose, Yes, we are supposed to be proselytizing
-
people, ladies and gentlemen, and in due time they will be born again.
-
And when they're born again, well they are the fruit of your laborer.
-
The New Testament screams this. It literally screams it. It screams it.
-
I mean, one thing's for sure, this entire first stands it is
-
an anathema to this generation. I mean we're living in in a in a
-
generation of abortionists and birth control. Amen. Amen, Okay, list list.
-
Let's not mince words. Jose, who do you know considers children in
-
this way anymore? I mean, how many wives desire to be a fruitful
-
vine? Jose? You you I don't. I don't need to have this
-
discussion with you. I don't need to educate you. You know full well
-
the birth rate has collapsed. Yes, I mean it's not that anybody's aborting
-
babies now because these what two or three different abortion drugs are so readily available.
-
I mean, this just happened here locally. There was a couple that
-
was dating, and they were dating, and they were dating. I mean
-
they dated for what two or three years? And then and during this time,
-
after the first year, she wanted to have a baby. Well after
-
two years go by, you know what, what on earth is happening?
-
Well, of course they're no longer to because it was discovered that he,
-
of course was getting the abortion drug and he was once a week putting it
-
in our drink. That's where we're at. I mean, now children are
-
considered a curse. I mean, this is this is a true statement,
-
ladies said, do you know there's a publication out there, a book that's
-
been written. It's called Green gold Landia. Do you know what that's all
-
about? Do you know there's entire communities of Americans that's retired. They don't
-
want to be around their grandkids. They have moved to Mexico to live on
-
their retirement. I'm not lying to you. Look it up Green Goodlandia.
-
It's an epidemic of grandparents. They don't love their grandchildren, don't even try
-
it. They love their money. Now, I mean, how many of
-
you have seen bumper stickers on r vs during the summer when everybody's going on
-
vacation and it literally says I'm spending my grandchildren's inheritance. So this is really
-
written foreign language, isn't it. Yep, this is foreign concepts to this
-
generation. This is literally foreign concepts to this generation. But I don't where
-
these promises are coming from. And these promises are coming from fourteen verses.
-
Now, the problem with those fourteen verses are is that they're followed up by
-
a whole lot more verses that are well contradictory to these. It's like,
-
if you do this, you get fourteen verses, but if you don't do
-
this, you get a whole lot more verses. Now, most people have
-
no ideat what I'm talking about. Of course, the only chapter I could
-
be talking about, ladies and gentlemen is the chapter Deuteronomy twenty eight. Here
-
it lists the blessings for doing what God says and the consequences for disobedience.
-
But that's what I hear here. I'm hearing these first fourteen verses, and
-
well, they're not the pleasant of verses. I have to say, they're
-
not. I mean, they're you know, from fifteen on. It's from
-
fifteen on perfectly describes the West. Do you understand what the west is?
-
Hose, Yes, the West is Great Britain, it's Germany, it's it's
-
all the westernized countries. Amen. Right, Amen, That's what's perfectly described,
-
starting in verse fifteen, all the way to the bottom. And it's
-
a big, great, big chapter, Ladies and Gentlemen. It's a huge
-
chapter. It's sixty eight verses long. But I'm going to read the first
-
fourteen because they pertain to the children of the Promise. They pertain exclusively to
-
God's chosen people, that's Christians. How many Let's ask them a trick question,
-
Jose, how many different types of Christians are there? There's two different
-
types Matthew. There's two different types hose plainly described in Romans chapters nine through
-
eleven. Right, yes, there's two types of Christians. Lady to them
-
and they're God's chosen people. That's what these first fourteen verses are supposed to
-
apply to. Let's read them now. It shall be if you obey the
-
Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments which I command you
-
today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of
-
the earth. All these blessings will come upon you and overtake you. If
-
you obey the Lord your God. Blessed shall you be in the city,
-
and blessed shall you be in the country. Blessed shall be the offspring of
-
your body, and the produce of your ground, and the offspring of your
-
beast, and increase of your herd, and the young of your flock.
-
Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bull. Blessed shall be you when
-
you come in, And blessed shall you be what you go out. The
-
Lord shall cause your enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before you.
-
They will come out against you one way and flee before you. Steven
-
ways. The Lord will command the blessing upon you in your barns, and
-
in all that you put your hand to. He will bless you. In
-
the land which the Lord your God gives you. The Lord will establish establish
-
you as a holy people to himself, as he swore to you. If
-
you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in his ways,
-
so all the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by the
-
name of the Lord, and they will be afraid of you. The Lord
-
will make you abound in prosperity in the offspring of your body, and in
-
the offspring of your beast, and in the produce of your ground, And
-
in the land which the Lord swore to your father's to give you. The
-
Lord will open for you is good storehouses the heavens to give rain on your
-
land and it's season, and he will bless all the work of your hand.
-
You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. The
-
Lord will make you the head and not the tell and you will be above
-
and you will not be underneath. If you listen to the commandments of the
-
Lords your God, which I charge you today, to observe them carefully and
-
do not turn aside from any of the words which I command you today to
-
the left or to the right, to go after other gods and serve them.
-
That's what I hear in the first stanza of Psalm. This has come
-
to pass because Psalm's twenty eight obviously ain't happened yet. It obviously ain't happened
-
yet. And that's what I hear here is this coming to pass. The
-
problem is if you don't know, you don't oh the biblical timeline, this
-
would confuse you, like, what are these other nations? I'm sorry to
-
be the one to reign on your party. This is obviously talking post millennial
-
reign of Christ. This is gog and may gog a man Jose Amen,
-
Matthew. So that's what I hear. That's what I know is being stated,
-
because that's when all these things will come true. So I know that's
-
what he must be talking about. Now does that make sense to you?
-
Did that? Does that ring true with you? Jose Yes, it does,
-
Matthew, Absolutely, it's this. This is this set of verses here,
-
these fourteen verses, is something that a lot of people, Matthew,
-
have tried to orchestrate and tried to make it work in this in this part
-
of the timeline. Right, They've done, they've done everything they can to
-
organize whatever community they're in around these verses, Matthew. But because because of
-
the flesh, we always come up short. Inevitably that whatever community, whatever
-
city, whatever state is organized around these principles, it eventually cracks, Matthew,
-
because you've got you've got human flesh involved, and we're weak. And
-
Galatians five explains explains all that what happens when we're of the flesh and out
-
of the spirit. So yeah, the only time frame that this can physically
-
take place, Matthew and be true is, like you said, during the
-
millennial reign of Christ, because that that's when when he's set up his kingdom,
-
and that that's when he can ensure that all these things take place.
-
And we can try, and we can, we can bang our head,
-
Matthew, but you know, we're only human, we're not God, so
-
we'll always come up short. So I can see this as an ideal that
-
we can strive for. But you're right, Matthew, the only physical time
-
this can take place is during that millennial reign. Absolutely right. People have
-
tried to figure out, when is this happen in modern times? Can we
-
do this now? And that's I mean, look, we can, we
-
can, We can in our houses fulfill all these But you know, Matthew,
-
that that doesn't guarantee that that this system that's currently set up is going
-
to steal not going to steal that from you, whatever fruit you produce.
-
Boy, you got that right now, that's not going to stop us from
-
trying and and keep trying to fulfill this and working through the spirit and everything
-
that that God provides us. Matthew. But you know that that's gonna take
-
place. People are good, and we're told that, we're told that during
-
the birth paying specifically, but it happens, you know, on this point
-
of the timeline as well. We're told that even our own brothers and sisters
-
in our churches and our households are gonna take from us and they're going to
-
persecute us. So how can these verses be true, Matthew? And yet
-
still the verses that Jesus tells us about the birth pains also be true?
-
You know, this this is stuff that we have to process and have to
-
understand where on the timeline God's God's telling us about psale. I'm sorry,
-
yeah, and dude on me twenty eight yep, I mean right now,
-
no matter what you do, uncle Sam is taking a hump, yes,
-
sir, Okay, don't deny right, Jose. Right, he's going to
-
take him a fiss full of dollars whether you like it or not. So
-
on this side of the tax system, these verses cannot be fulfilled. I
-
mean, these verses were very simple and very to the point, but very
-
clear, I mean very clear. And the only way, Matthew, you
-
can keep more of your money, right, is to try to cheat the
-
tax system. Well, contradicts everything that's we just read in Deuteronomy twenty eight.
-
Well, it's not that simple, Jose. The government has other ways,
-
amen, Amen, they do. I mean, I mean you are
-
required by a law to have insurance on your property, right, Yes,
-
you are, Riddle me, Jose, over the over the course of the
-
year you paying all that insurance? Is that equal to one tenth of your
-
produce? Because that's on top of your taxes. Because if they pass laws
-
enforcing you you have to go to a farmer's insurance to ensure your place.
-
That's extortion. I mean, you do know the textbook definition of extortion?
-
What are what have all of you been stunned into silence? You didn't realize
-
that. I mean, let's talk about your car. It's not your car.
-
If you get caught without insurance, they will take your license. You
-
must have car insurance and be paying for the car and pay taxes on the
-
car before it's considered yours. And it amazes me how these young kids will
-
I will talk to them about like, wait a minute, what are you
-
talking about? Well, how much is your car payment? Three hundred dollars?
-
How much is the insurance payment three hundred dollars? Then the car payment
-
it's six hundred dollars a month, right, Jose? Right, But they'll
-
get them convinced that, no, no, you only owe three hundred dollars.
-
Cut really because most car places now, I mean I know several that
-
I've interacted with, they force you to get full coverage on the vehicle you're
-
buying from them, because it's still theirs, ladies and gentlemen. It's not
-
your car yet until's completely paid off. Am I not telling the truth?
-
Jose? Yeah, that's the truth, Matthew. And if they and if
-
you understand that the insurance companies are in direct contact with the car lots,
-
and this has happened many times. They will miss a payment, the insurance
-
company will call the car dealership and they'll come repossess your car, not because
-
you didn't make the car payment, because you didn't make the insurance payment.
-
Do I assure you on this side of the millennial reign of Christ, these
-
verses cannot be coming true just with the insurance, not taxes that's on top
-
of just with the just with the antichrist insurance system. These verses can't be
-
true when the government has the ability to force you to take the fruit of
-
your labor and give it to the insurance companies. That's antichrist. I mean
-
I should know those type of logistics because I graduated high school in two years.
-
How long did it take you this type of math? In Songs one
-
twenty eight, it could only be accomplished in the kingdom of heaven. And
-
the Kingdom of Heaven is not in heaven, ladies and gentlemen, it's on
-
earth. Boy, there's hard words, aren't they hose yep, and the
-
last stanza has stinging in it too. But take note in Deuteronomy chapter eight,
-
verses one through fourteen, there's only two other nations being talked about.
-
Jose, who shows up at the for the final millennium War? Who is
-
it? That's Gog and Magog? Matthew Any questions, Nope, there's Israel,
-
there's Dog, and there's my God. Right, Yes, that's it.
-
That's all. And you know that the prophecies, what the prophecies say?
-
You realize you caught it here in those first fourteen verses that there's other
-
prophecies that say that, right, Jose, that says that in Zachariah chapter
-
fourteen concerning the future Suco Right, the feast of booths, Yes, where's
-
Lottie, Dottie? Everybody going to go and do this. They're all going
-
to do it once a year at Sukko, Right, the feast of booths,
-
Yes, the feast of tabernacles. So knowing that and hearing that and
-
understanding this can only be fulfilled in that time frame. In the millennial reign
-
of Christ, I'm expecting him to use some funny phraseology about himself, and
-
he does. He says a pretty strange phrase in this last stanza, Right,
-
the Lord bless you from Zion. You know, that's a pretty important
-
phrase to give to Christians. Right, right, that's a pretty and phrase,
-
because you need to understand, ladies and gentlemen, that you're going to
-
come into God's field of visions in the particular point in time. And if
-
you don't know when this is going to happen in the future, well I'm
-
going to have to take some time to explain it to you. Because those
-
who are alive and remain at the return of Christ, they are talked about
-
in the Book of Revelation. It's just the Book of Revelation, chapter seven,
-
that's where they're talked about, starting in verse nine. This is when
-
you get into God's field division. He says it here kind of funky.
-
As a matter of fact, this text in Greek is extremely hard because this
-
group has talked about in the past tense, it's talked about in the present
-
tense, and it's talked about in the future tents. It uses the phrase
-
have come out of the Great tribulation past tense. This, of course use
-
of past, present, and future tints. It confuses Joan. The angel
-
is overwhelming his mind. He's like, what is going on here? I
-
don't understand what's happening. Of course, what just happened. He was a
-
six sell event, That's what just happened. Now, So you need to
-
know that that it's telling you that God is stationed in Mount Zion. This
-
must be after the Book of Daniel, chapter seven, when it describes he
-
sits back down. The six syll event tells you when he's up off his
-
throne. It specifically calls this the day of he who sits upon the throne,
-
when he's obviously not on the throne. He's here crashing our party.
-
So you would have to know what to look for. You'd have to know
-
what this is talking about. Because take note, ladies and gentlemen, that
-
it's perfectly clear, it's repeatedly in the Book of Revelation what happens at Christ's
-
coronation. God is stationed on Mount Zion. Christ is stationed in Jerusalem.
-
And if you need the information to put those two plays together, what are
-
you talking about? I thought Mount Zion was in Jerusalem? Really, is
-
that what you thought? Well, that tells me that you've never read the
-
Book of the Hebrews, specifically chapter twelve, verse twenty two, but you
-
have come to Mount Zion in to this city of the Living God, the
-
heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, make no mistake about what Malzion
-
is. It's where God's throne is. That's where it is. And this
-
is plainly stating God the Father will be ruling from Mount Zion on his throne.
-
God the Son will be ruling from Jerusalem. It will be the capital
-
of war. There will only be one capital of the world, Jerusalem at
-
this time. So this place part and parcel with this place that He prepares
-
for us, right Jose, Yes, somehow it's kind of like that Bethlehem
-
Star. It's literally positioned directly over the Lord Jesus Christ. Right. Yes,
-
this is how the magi we're able to perform celestial navigation and navigate directly
-
to the manger where he lay celestial navigation. That's how all air and nautical
-
armanacs work, right Jose. Right, Matthew, literally how all ship captains
-
and all. Well, this is what we did when we were in the
-
army laying the guns. We lay the guns off the stars. So,
-
whether you know it or not, ladies and gentlemen, the soldiers do this
-
every day. So this is a pretty important phrase. Because this phrase will
-
take you a whole lot of different places. This phrase, to me is
-
important. The Lord bless you from Zion. We're gonna get to it in
-
Psalm one thirty four, May the Lord bless you from Zion, he who
-
made heaven and earth. Psalm twenty, may he send you help from this
-
thanks you wary, and give you support from zionce So there's all place as
-
we could go. There's all kinds of places we could go. You know,
-
this one drives a cord, this one. I know what he's talking
-
about. Isaiah, chapter thirty three, Verse twenty. Behold Zion, the
-
city of our appointed Feast. I take note. That's why we're covering the
-
book of a sense, because this is what you are going to be recounting
-
every single year when you, along with everybody else, is required to show
-
up at Jerusalem and pay homage to the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen,
-
So I know exactly what he's talking about. Here, behold Zion,
-
the city of your appointed feast. Your eyes will see Jerusalem. It didn't
-
say Zion, ladies down, didn't say your eyes would see Zion. It
-
said your eyes would see Jerusalem. That's what he's talking about here, God
-
the Father is in Zion, and God the Son is in Jerusalem. An
-
untroubled habitation and immovable tent. That's what I needed to see. An immovable
-
tent whose steaks will never be plucked up, nor will any of its cords
-
be broken. This is what he talks about in Revelation chapter seven. That's
-
exactly what he says as a minter effect. Let me jump over there for
-
a second and read it for you, because it's a pretty important piece of
-
scripture. It's actually one of my favorite pieces of scripture. Actually. It
-
says verse fifteen. For this reason, they will be before the throne of
-
God. They will serve him day and night in his temple, and he
-
who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them. That's exactly what
-
Isaiah chapter thirty three it's talk about. It could have only been talking about
-
that when God the Father is stationed on his throne up in heaven on Mount
-
Zion, and directly under him is the Lord Jesus Christ stationed on his throne
-
in Jerusalem, and that location will not be able to be moveable. This
-
is this place He's hyper dimensionally prepared for us however that works. I mean,
-
I understand what he's liking it to here, right, Jose, it's
-
this pretty simple the phraseology that he's wanting you to see, right, because
-
he goes on and make sure that you understand this is like an epicenter in
-
verse seventeen. So let me go ahead and read sixteen seventeen. They will
-
hunger no longer, nor first anymore normal son beat down on them, nor
-
any heat. Ladies and gentlemen. This is because you've gone through the alakusmuthea
-
in Greek. You've received your resurrected bodies. Okay, verse seventeen for the
-
lamb in the center of the throne, Jose, you understand why he just
-
said that, right, Yes, Matthew, he's trying to say everything that
-
just came out of my mouth. God the Father is sitting on his throat
-
on Mountain Zion. The Lord Jesus Christ is directly beneath him, just like
-
the Bethlehem Star was right over him. Yeah, that kind of that type
-
of thing. Jesus will be in the center of the throne and will be
-
their shepherd and will guide them to springs of the water of life, and
-
God will wipe every tear from their eyes. This is what's being talked about.
-
So when he uses this phraseology to be blessed from Mount Zion, I
-
know what he's talking about. Now take note, why isn't here in Revelation
-
chapter seven? Why is this? Why is Jesus called the Lamb at this
-
point in the tribulation? Jose, has he been coordinated yet? No?
-
He has in Matthew, No, Jose, he's not been coronated yet.
-
Revelation is pretty clear when he gets coronated, right, Yes, this is
-
way before then. So this is the place that's been prepared for you in
-
the wilderness, ladies and gentlemen, during the Great Tribulation. This is where
-
you're going to be at. That's what he's saying. And if he would
-
have said Jesus right here, it would have messed everything up. I would
-
have said, no, Now, I'm confused, because his coronation has not
-
taking place yet. Therefore the Book of Revelation should refer to him as the
-
Lamb, and it did. And it's this new sequence as to why John
-
gets confused, because, well, ladies and gentlemen, for all intents and
-
purposes, what John is really saying here is wait a minute, Why am
-
I not in this group? That's what John's really saying. John's confused because
-
he's not in the group, because this is happening outside of time. Look,
-
I'll read it for you verse thirteen. Then one of the elders answered,
-
saying to me, these who are closed in white robes, who are
-
they? And where do they come from? Verse fourteen. I said to
-
him, my lord, you know, John was confused. He's like,
-
wait a minute, Aren't I supposed to be in that group? Because I
-
know that I'm saved in the Lord Jesus Christ, and I'm sure that my
-
name's written in a lamb book of life? Who are these people? Because
-
I'm not one of them. John was confused because John didn't realize that John
-
was going to die and John was never going to be a part of this
-
group at this moment in time, because this is before the Alagus Maythia,
-
this is before the return of Christ. Let me ask you something, ladies,
-
gentlemen, has any other preacher or teacher ever pointed out to you?
-
Why was John confused in Revelation Chapter seven, verse thirteen and fourteen. Why
-
was he all of a sudden confused in the middle of this vision. That's
-
why, because he knew he should have been in that group and he wasn't.
-
Because this is saying that this place this, how do you describe that,
-
hose, It is like a big top him, right, that's got
-
one great big center pool. Right. Yes, yes, that's what he's
-
describing. And he's going to drape that over you, Q from the great
-
tribulation? Is that not what Isaiah says? Okay? How about Jeremiah?
-
Okay, how about Ezekiel? Okay? Where don't it say that God's going
-
to gather you together like this? That's the question. What book doesn't it
-
say that? So to me, I can put two and two together and
-
make four. I understand what he's talking about here. And he come right
-
out and said it, he will stretch his tabernacle over us from sitting on
-
the throne. It literally used the same phraseology. It put him on the
-
throne, right, Jose, right, exactly what the six Selivant says,
-
this is the day of him who sitteth on the throne, Verse fifteen.
-
I'll read it for you again. He is the same phraseology in Greek.
-
For this reason, they are before the throne of God. Now they're on
-
planet Earth. But he stretched this thing down. Okay, for this reason,
-
there before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in
-
his temple, and he who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over
-
them. So he's setting on his throne in Mount Zion and he stretches his
-
tabernacle down from Heaven over us on Earth, and it creates this hyperstatic field
-
that cannot an try it. I mean, let's let's be honest with each
-
oldren the people that Jesus healed and said, how protected were they? Jose?
-
Yeah, I mean that's that's the ultimate, the ultimate protection, Matthew.
-
I mean, even even you have the woman that was healed by grabbing
-
the hem of his garment, right, Yeah, you might say that she
-
grabbed his tabernacle. Amen. Yeah, you would definitely have to say that.
-
That's what these verses are talking about. That's why these verses are in
-
Revelation chapter seven. One things for sure. You don't want to be the
-
first group, amen, Jose. Amen. Matthew. Now, just so
-
you all know that the group that's before then that's numbered by the angel that
-
marks for death. Oh you don't, you don't know about him. We
-
did a program that on him, didn't we. Jose, Yes, we
-
did. Yeah, you don't want to be in that group. Revelation Chapter
-
twenty is really clear. They don't make it out of the situation alive.
-
You do, though, I mean take note. Not only is the beast
-
and the false prophet not going to be able to touch you, I mean
-
check this out. The sun will not beat down on you, nor any
-
heat you will. He will guide you to springs of the water of life.
-
That kind of sounds like the water from the rock incident, don't it.
-
Jose, Yes, it does, Matthew, But now we're talking about
-
something else entirely different because he's out of It's the water of life, that
-
is what it said, Jose. I wasn't stattering. So how many people
-
have you heard bring that up? That this just said the water of life?
-
You know, it didn't take me very long for it to trigger a
-
rememberature once you mentioned the woman, and it reminds me of the other woman
-
that Jesus healed. Remember when he met at the well, the cyril Phoenician
-
woman. Right what he say to her, They said, if you'd ask
-
me for water, I'd to give you water and you to never thirst again.
-
Isn't that what this verse just said? This is this is pre the
-
coronation of Christ. It's pre the coronation of Christ. It calls him the
-
lamb here and during this time we're in this. Is there any way else
-
to describe what this area is that God set up? Is this this place
-
of protection? It's like a hyperstatic field, right, Yes, there's there's
-
no real way it's it's a it's not a part of the creation that's being
-
destroyed. Because I don't think I know my Bible prophecy, ladies and gentlemen,
-
I don't think I know I know exactly what's going to take place on
-
the great Day of the Lord. I can existentially tell you that it is
-
an end some game as described in Isaiah chapter thirteen, which there's no way
-
around it. Isaiah chapter thirteen, in two different verses, says, this
-
is the day of the Lord. That's what he says. And in there
-
it has the most it has the most chilling threat of them all. The
-
worst thing God could ever say to you, he does talking to my voice,
-
ladies and gentlemen. This is real easy to remember. It's Isaiah thirteen
-
thirteen. You better write it down. Therefore, I will make the heavens
-
tremble, and I will shape the Earth from its place at the theory of
-
the Lord of Host in the day of his burning anger. Jose, what's
-
the Earth's place, well, where it sits currently in this solar system.
-
Matthew. Yeah, that's called the Goldilock zone, right, Yes, Yes,
-
that's the habitable zone. You want to know why, Jose. It's
-
this magical place in any star. It doesn't matter what star you're in.
-
It's this magical place where you have liquid water. Let me say that again,
-
ladies, gentlemen, it's not just any place because water is not enough.
-
I mean, we have plenty of water on Europa, right Jose.
-
Yes, Okay, they say there's more water on Europa statistically speaking than is
-
on the Earth. But that's not enough because the spirit of the Living God
-
does not move upon the frozen, lifeless death of ice. The spirit of
-
the Living God only moves on the surface of the water. Therefore, it
-
can't be too hot, because if it's too wet, you can only have
-
vapor, right Jose, Correct, Matthew, God does not move upon the
-
surface of the vapor. It's too cold. You only have ice, right,
-
Jose. Right, ladies and gentlemen, whether you know this or not,
-
you better be in this place that God, the Father, he who
-
setteth upon the throne, sets up for you, because everybody else, God
-
orders death to flee from them. That's how you're gonna go through the tribulation.
-
The earth is outside the habitable zone. Write it down, Isaiah,
-
chapter thirteen, thirteen. That's what it says. God's gonna field to punt
-
you out of the habitable zone. So you had better be in this place.
-
You had better be in this place. Now, what I'm telling you
-
is the truth. What I'm telling you is the truth I've given us something
-
man. Jose has read this so many times on air. It's just you
-
need to wake up, okay. I don't know why people think that during
-
the tribulation that there there'll still be a blue sky, it'll be hot,
-
they'll celebrate Christmas, right Hose eight No no, no, no no no,
-
Revelation chapter nine, verse six. In those days, men will seek
-
death and will not find it. They belong to die, and death flees
-
from them. Imagine what's going to happen when the earth is outside of the
-
habitable zone, and you can't die anyway. You better hope to the Lord
-
your God and to the Lamb that you wind up in this relocation event described
-
in Revelation chapter seven. That's what you better be hoping. You better know
-
the word of the Lord your God. You better know all those little simple
-
things and his Bible. Like Revelation chapter seven. You understand the first group
-
in Revelation chapter seven, they can't die either, but they get beheaded instead
-
by the beast. That's what Revelations chapter twenty says, right, Jose,
-
correct, So they get the worst of the deal. But look, if
-
you're wanting to know how those who are alive and remain make it to the
-
return of Christ, it's Revelation chapter seven, verses nine through seventeen. I
-
suggest you write them down and hang them on your wall or something, because
-
if I was the first one that told you that the earth was going to
-
leave the habitable zone, I don't know. I mean, you're way behind
-
the curve, ladies and gentlemen, Jose, you're closing moments. Yeah,
-
Matthew, there's there's just so much to cover. But what we've been talking
-
about tonight matches up with what Jesus said in Matthew twenty four, that we
-
are going to go through those birth pangs, we are going to be persecuted,
-
but that he's promised us to keep us from the great tribulation. He's
-
promised to to ghide us, to place us in a place that's been prepared
-
for us. While these things are going on in the rest of the world.
-
And so too many times, you know, people focus on well,
-
on different on different doctrine Matthew, and different dogmas, and you know,
-
who's right, who's wrong, and which way should you walk and which way
-
should you sit? But we're told over and over, just just like we
-
discussed tonight, you delight in the law of the Lord, and you walk
-
and you live by the spirit, and that's the only way that you will
-
produce fruits of the spirit. And that's the only way that we will labor
-
in the Lord. Anything else is in vain. Anything else is just to
-
prop ourselves up. Anything else is just to pat our wallets to, you
-
know, try to make ourselves feel more secure or more comfortable. But we've
-
been, we've been what we've been promised and what we're told that we're supposed
-
to be doing is all for our redemption, which is what we discussed tonight,
-
Matthew. What Psalms one eight talks about, what dude Onomy twenty eight
-
talks about, what Revelation chapter seven talks about. That's what we need to
-
be focused on, because that's when we've been promised our rest. That's when
-
we've been promised our sabbath. That's when our work is complete. That's when
-
God himself to try Germans that the work is done. So I think it's
-
really important just these six simple verses, Matthew, and where it takes us,
-
and how much it it allows the rest of the Bible to build build
-
upon it. It's really important for us to study. You just have to
-
study it because just these six simple verses, Matthew, where it took us,
-
and what it reinforced, and what it made us remember about what God
-
has told us. It's it's detrimental to understanding what is to come and to
-
helping the Ecclesia, our fellow brothers and sisters to understand what is to come.
-
Man, I couldn't have said it better, nor would I have wanted
-
to take us out of here in prayer, Jose, dear heaven me,
-
Father whom we love and serve. I thank you once again for bringing us
-
together, for gathering us, for showing us what it's going to be like
-
when you gather us together as you have promised, gather us together before your
-
son and before you, so that we may rest from our labor that you
-
have given us. But please, Lord, while we are here and while
-
we still have time, please allow us to be fruitful in your labor.
-
Please guide us by your spirit and leading your children to your son and allowing
-
us to build up the kingdom of your Son, and sharing your word and
-
showing how great and how beautiful and how promising it is. For we know
-
that if we are faithful, Father, you also will be faithful, and
-
you will fulfill everything that you have promised us. 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 Marinatha Ministries with Matthew Miller.
