068 Book of Ascents Pt 6

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

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

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

draweth nigh. 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. Tonight we're going to dive into well, the next chapter.

The next chapter's interesting, it's short, it's sweet, and it's to the

point. And just like all the other chapters with the Book of the Sense,

if you don't know to put it in its context, you really don't

know what to make of this this chapter in the Psalms. So, Jose,

what's your what's your opening comments? Well, Matthew, like I was

telling you, I've had a crazy week, so I haven't had a chance

to look at this, look at the song. So this will be a

fresh look for me. But again, I'm looking to play this on the

timeline and then once we do that, you know everything's gonna line up.

Matthew. You know that it's gonna God's gonna repeat himself exactly what he's been

saying, and it's gonna fit perfectly with every other scripture that we've been reading.

So I can't wait to get into it. Yes, it will,

it will echo the narrative. There's only one narrative now, ladies and gentlemen.

If you're not familiar with that concept, boy, if you got a

lot to learn, because we hear Marianatha ministries. We have the bullet proof

prophecy model. Every chapter you go to, this prophecy model can answer every

single question you might have. And if you're just going through here and someone

has just told you that this Psalms of a sense, this book has been

compiled because of Zachariah chapter fourteen, and that this is Bible prophecy, and

you're supposed to know that. Boy, it's going to catch you by surprise

because it's going to answer questions that you didn't know you had. It's going

to answer the questions you couldn't think up to ask. So you know,

well that being said, you know, Psalms one twenty five is just five

verses long. I mean, how hard can it be? Be hard?

And it's not hard. It has a very simple message, but it's going

to say things that if you don't know what is to come, you will

be chasing your tail. You will be chasing your tail, you will have

no idea what this is talking about. But very simple things like the way

it starts. You know, Jose, let me ask you this, what

does everybody say that Zion is anyway? Well, Matthew, I've heard a

lot of people say that Zion is talking about Juslim itself, that temple mount,

that that's that, that's what Zion is, that's what the when the

Bible talks about that mount Zion, that that's what that physical location is there

in Jerusalem. But but we know Matthew didn't think very much reading the Bible

to understand exactly what got talking about Bion' that's not what he's talking about there.

Well, it's really easy when he just comes out and tells you right

right. But ladies and gentlemen, if you're not used to reading the Bible

like it's a dictionary or an encyclopedia, you'll just blow right past it.

And I know that many of you've been studying Bible prophecy for twenty years.

I mean, hose, you've been studying Bible prophecy for twenty years, right,

correct? But how many times have you heard these crazy things about Zion?

When Hebrews chapter twelve, verse twenty two is elicit in its narrative,

this is it, This is what God says. And if you just read

it, read past it, and blow through it, and don't take the

time to treat this as an encyclopedia entry. Of course you I don't know

what Malzion is. You have no idea because you never believed him in the

first place. So if you're new to the program, you better get with

the program. You need something to write with and something to write on,

now, Jose, you've been doing this for almost fourteen years now, right

correct? How many times have you had to stop scramble for something to write

on and something to write with because I was saying something that you were afraid.

I was only going to say one time. Yeah, every time we

do till Matthew, all right, ladies and gentlemen, write this down.

Hebrews chapter twelve, verse twenty two. But you have come to Mount Zion,

and to the city of the Living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and

to myriads of angels. I could keep reading. I could go up a

couple of more verses, but I don't need to. He just told you

that Zion is the seat of authority for creation, and that's God's thrown room.

That's heavenly for a thrown room. Mountain Zion is the seat of power.

That's what it is. Now you can argue about what Mount Zion is.

I don't care, because everything that you might say, or that you

might dig up is just quite simply an opinion that has deviated from this fact.

Mountainsion is in heaven and it's the heavenly thrown room, the seat of

power. Now, when you know that passage of like, Revelation chapter fourteen

makes sense because Jesus has not returned yet. No, no, he hasn't.

And Revelation chapter fourteen proceeds the Perugia of Christ, Yes it does.

It precedes the perusia of Christ. The perusia of Christ is there, you

know jose Andi's favorite chapters. I guess we can't get away from. Basically

Revelation chapters nineteen and twenty. Okay, that's the perusia of Christ. So

Revelation chapter fourteen is way before that. It's when Jesus is in heaven.

Revelation chapter fourteen, Verse one. Then I looked and behold the Lamb was

standing on Mount Zion, and with him one hundred and forty four thousand,

having his name and the name of his father written on their foreheads. This

is not in the city of David. It's not in dru it's not in

the Israeli Empire. It's not anywhere in the modern day Israeli Empire. And

it's sure fire ain't and ratha, and no man can assault it, and

no man need defend it. So it might behoove you to look into this.

If I'm just telling you this for the first time, you didn't realize

this that this group of one hundred and forty four thousand was not in Jerusalem.

They were actually in God's throne room. And that's why, of course,

made sure to nip you in the bud if you wanted to stray to

the left or right of God's word. It said the Lamb. It did

not say the King. It said the Lamb. He's still in heaven.

He has not been coordinated yet. Do you know when the coronation takes place?

Because if you don't, you're just chasing your tail. And when you

read the book of a sense. Once you realize what it is and you

read Psalms one twenty five, it's just YadA YadA, YadA YadA. It's

just some cool words strung together that maybe you could get a print out of

with a pretty background and put it on your wall. When you know what

Zion is, when you know what happens there, when you know when Christ

gets coronated, all these things make sense. So you need to know that

there is no question that it can be addressed too. The bullet proof prophecy

model, that's your questions will not be answered. It has them all downpath.

Now that might startle you. I mean you might be thinking yourself,

what on earth, I've never even heard of anybody studying Psalms as if it

had prophetic elements in it. Well, that tells me right off the bat.

Nobody's taught you that this is a reference work. This is the most

attested and documented set of facts in literally the history of the world. I

mean, you do know that we have more documents attesting the Bible, God's

Holy Word than of anything ever written, even remotely. Let's take Roman documents

at this time, by all means, let's take Greek documents. Let's take

perhaps the ovid or the Odyssey. Let me say this more more time.

The Bible, God's holy word is the most historically attested and proven fact that

there has ever been written by man. So when you pick it up,

if you're not picking it up like it's a dictionary or the fool set of

encyclopedias, you're never going to get it anyway, because you don't believe it.

Many of you have read Hebrews chapter twelve before, and you read verse

twenty two, and you rejected it in your mind because you were reading it

like you were reading a novel. So let's take a once over of Psalms

one five. Jose, I understand that you are working remotely correcting, and

you read it, or you want me to read it. Yep, I

can read it. Breath Matthew, All right, very good, Just blow

right through it, all right. The Psalm one five I'm reading out of

the NAFB, A song of a set those who trust in the Lord are

as mountains ion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever, as the

mountain surround Jerusalem. So the Lord surrounds his people from this time forth and

forever for the scepter of wickedness. Andy'll not rest upon the land of the

righteous. So the righteous will not put forth their hands to do wrong.

Do good, Oh Lord, to those who are good, and to those

who are upright in their hearts. But as for those who turn aside to

their crooked ways, the Lord will lead them away with the doers of iniquity.

Peace be upon Israel. What do you make of that, hose,

Matthew. It's it's like I'm reading a condensed version of the Book of Revelation.

Every verse here I can tie directly to the Book of Revelation. And

you know, the Book Revelation gives us more detail that expounds on these verses.

But but boy, Matthew, that this is exactly what I've read before,

and I like this this last phrase, Peace be upon Israel. Amen.

And at this point, at this point, you know, there's only

one thing left to do, right, ladies and gentlemen, there are two

millennium wars. There's two. There's the one that starts the millennium and that's

Armageddon, and there's the one that finishes it. It's the one that finishes

it. From this point forward, after Armageddon, you are secure peace will

be upon you. Now, I know that everybody hates that esty thousand,

don't they, Jose? Right? I mean, they just hate it.

They don't know what to do with it. They have no idea what to

do with it. But they simply hate the simple fact that the Lord Jesus

Christ is gonna rule and reign from Ezekiel's Millennial Temple for one thousand years.

And when they keep reading and they find out that, hey, that's not

the only time a thousand years is in play, because it also says that

Satan is bound for a thousand years and he's in the abyss all by himself,

right, correct? Man? They hate that, don't they. They

want it to be over at Armageddon, don't they, Jose? Yes,

They gnash their tea. They hate They hate the simple fact that the Lord

Jesus Christ will rule for one thousand years and they won't be able to play

their little pyramid schemes. They hate it, don't they? Yes? And

it blows me away when you meet Christians like this, No, I'm going

to heaven. Really, I mean, Jose, have you ever been in

a public setting, that is to say, inside a classroom and hear arguments

break out? Over this. Not in the classroom setting, Matthew, but

I have had. I've been in the presence of Christians who talk about this,

and yeah, it can get heated. Yes, Why is it they

hate it? Is it that because this precludes you going to heaven? You're

not going to heaven? Is that what makes them mad? Why would them

be able to live in peace? Perfectly? I mean, jose you do

realize that for you and I we're going to be in the garden of Eden

for a thousand years, right amen? Why wouldn't you want to do that?

Have you figured that out yet? No? I haven't, Matthew Gold.

Ladies and gentlemen, ask yourself this, Why do people not want the

Lord Jesus Christ to return and operate his creation as it was intended to be

operated. Why should that make them mad? Because I'm here to tell you

they will gnash their teeth at you. Oh yes they will, yes,

But I'm here to tell you, ladies and gentlemen, that if you know

what is to come, there's no reason why you would ever get upset because

once you put in place the bulletproof prophecy model, that makes sense. But

for some reason, these people think that they're going to go to heaven.

And if they're going to go to heaven, if Jesus comes back and rules

on earth, well that means they've been left behind in heaven, right,

Jose, Right, So, ladies and gentlemen, if you don't know what's

to come, it's because you have not ever read the Bible like it was

the Gospel truth. You've read it like it was a novel. You read

it like it was an ancient document. You've never picked up the Bible,

God's Holy Word and opened it as if it was a text book. Because

like it or not, that's what it is. It's a textbook and the

whole thing was written so that do you know what God's intentions are? And

that shouldn't upset you at all? I mean, Jose, can you think

of any reason why a Christian would be upset at God's intentions for them?

Matthew and any Christians to understand that the reason why we want God's will to

be done is because of our lack of understanding, our shortcoming of our understanding.

There's no way you or I Matthew can know what's better for us or

what's better for God's people in the long run. But for us to sit

here and try to want one thing or the other is preposteros. It's the

ambolt insane, Matthew to think that way. Obviously, God's God's going to

know what's best for his people, though obviously his will is what we want

done. Because because I don't know, I don't know which way it is.

Turn, Matthew, I'd rather shut my eye than let God lead me,

because because that's just I can't even fathom thinking that way, Matthew,

that I would know better than God what to do. That just kind of

stuffs you. It has always stumped to me. But I mean, and

we'll say this, I was obviously raised different than everybody else, right,

right, There's no doubt about that. There's no doubt about it. And

I would have to say, you know, even though my parents did many

things, I mean, they taught me to walk, right, I mean,

yep, how could anything be more important than that? But I'm here

to tell you that, you know, and even my wife has stated this,

and she and my mom talked about it before my mom graduated. Because

ladies and gentlemen, I'm not wishy washy. I'm here to tell you,

firly that my mother is in Abraham's Bosom. I know where she's at.

She's at what you call paradise. She is not, I repeat, she

is not in heaven. She's in paradise. And Rachel came to the same

conclusion that the greatest gift my parents ever gave me was before I understood what

was going on. I was taught that the Bible was actually God's word,

and everything else that you call truth is to be weighed off of. It

doesn't matter if it's a science book, a text book, even if it's

a roadmap. Don't believe the roadmap if it disagrees with the Bible, God's

Holy Word. And this was before I could even read, so I understand

I'm a little bit different. But ladies, Jim, God did not write

his word to confuse you. He actually wrote his word to explain to you

in great detail his intentions for you. Now, as far as I'm concerned,

every living Christian should be continuing asking God for one thing, and it's

not He can't. It's not more cow, it's not a faster car.

It is the assurance of semeon. If you don't know what I'm talking about,

because you don't have a clue. It means you need a hint.

Let me say that again. You should be praying every single day for the

greatest gift in all of creation. No greater gift may be given to the

living, and it is Simians assurance. If you don't know what I'm talking

about, I feel sorry for you. Many of you are creatures right now,

have no idea what I'm talking about. I mean, surely every living

creature knows of Simian's assurance. O wasay, why don't you flip over to

Luke the second chapter? I want you to. Let's just make this quick.

No, we need to know context. To start reading verse twenty one,

and you'll know when to stop. Okay, all right. And when

eight days had passed before his circumcision, his name called Jesus, the name

given by the Angel before he was conceived in the wound. And when the

days for their purification according to the law of Moses, were completed, they

brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord. As it is

written in the Law of the Lord, every first born male that opens the

wound shall be called holy to the Lord, and to offer a sacrifice.

According to what was said in the law of the Lord, a pair of

turtle doves or two pigeons. And there was a man in Jerusalem whose name

was Simeon. And this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation

of Israel. And the Holy Spirit was upon him, and they had been

revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he

had seen the Lord's Christ and the Spirit Amen. And he came in the

spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to

carry out for him the custom of the law, then he took him into

his arms and blessed God and said, now, Lord, you are releasing

your bond servant to depart in peace according to your word. When my eyes

have seen your salvation, he may have prepared in what you have prepared in

the presence of all peoples. I like a revelation to the gentile and the

glory of your people, Israel. If you need to hint, ladies and

gentlemen, you ain't got a clue. Most of you just run around saying

that you're an expert in Bible prophecy. Really, and you didn't know of

Semians assurance. Every living person should have one request of the Lord, their

God, and I'll read it for you. Okay, I'm not gonna benefit

you with the chapter and verse because many of you prophecy experts. Oh,

you know exactly what I'll be reading. This is your favorite three verses in

the whole Bible. For this we say to you by the word of the

Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord,

will not proceed those who fall asleep, For the Lord himself will descend

from heaven with the sheep, with the voice of the archangel and with the

trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we

who are alive and remain will be taught up together with them in the clouds

to meet the Lord in the air. And so we shall always be with

the Lord. And every single one of you have been praying your whole life

for something else. I'd say your intentions are highly suspect. You know.

I remember when I was a child, we would go over this every year.

Every single year we would go over this. My parents wanted to make

sure that once I understood that I was alive, the greatest thing that could

ever happen to me is for the Lord to let me see with my own

eyes the establishment of the Kingdom of Christ. As far as I'm concerned,

everything else can burn. Give me Jesus or nothing. And ladies and gentlemen,

there's one sore thing lacking in those verses that some Bible prophecy teacher twisted

for you, because there is no possible way the words that I just read

was a secret event. Ise, How could you possibly can it's true that

this was a secret event. Nope. God makes himself very clear, Matthew,

nothing secret about it. It says that he comes here, correct,

Amen, And it says that from that point forward we will forever be with

him. But this, if we are alive and remain, we will receive

Simeon's assurance, won't we. Yes, There's only one other thing that is

equal to the perusia of Christ, and that's the event we just read.

Simeon happened to be at the right place, in the right kind, and

he saw the coming of the Christ into the pimple to be dedicated to the

Lord is God as our first fruit, Aman, jose Amen, Matthew,

yep, is that not what's going on here? That's exactly what's going on.

It amaze me how people just read it and just go right over their

head, just go right over the head. But what would it be for

some profit to arise in our generation and say, Hey, the Lord promised

me that I was going to see him with my two eyeballs. I was

going to see him much through the upper atmosphere, he said, I'm going

to actually see it. What did I let the cat out of the bag?

Ladies and gentlemen, you can come up to me babbling all you want

to. You could run your mouth about angel dust and about people rolling around

on the floor. I don't care. You do not impress me. You

might come up to me and proclaim that you saw somebody that was crippled walk.

You don't. Thoroughly, you don't impress me. I'll tell you what

will impress me if somebody proclaiming to be God the prophet because they're a diamond

does and now jose right, I mean they're literally a diamond. Dozen these

God haters just run around. I'll tell you how you can impress me.

Ladies and gentlemen, find one of them for me that says this that the

Lord, our God has promised to them that their own eyes will see the

coming of Christ? Are you stunned to silence? How is it you didn't

know this? Ladies and gentlemen, we're sitting there thinking to yourselves down on

earth? Did Matthew know not to take anybody seriously until they said this?

I mean, Jose, is it not true that every single year at Christmas

time at least well a man understand, there's some Unitarian Universalists out there,

and you know, we could go on and on, but basically most every

church reads this at Christmas time? Right? Yes? Have you heard anybody

bring this up about? No? I haven't, Nope. Why do you

think that is, Jose? Why do you think it is that nobody ties

together Simeon with the words that I read from about what everybody calls the Rapture?

I couldn't tell you, Matthew, I mean, because what came out

of Simeon's mouth was the same as these verses. Amen, God bade have

promised to him that he is his own eyes would see the coming of the

Christ, and that he would be alive he would read until that happened.

Right, Yes, I mean, Jose, Now that it escapes my mouth,

you're probably upset with me, aren't you? You probably to yourself.

You know, ma'am, I'm in big trouble. I've never prayed this before.

Right, you know what, Jose, I bet I know what Your

next Bible study with your sons better be amen, Amen, because this supersedes

the gift of life, right right, Being alive to see the establishment of

the Kingdom of Christ and be alive when it happens. That trumps everything does

in that Jose, Yes, it does, Matthew. So this first verse

I find pretty interesting. I always have found this first verse interesting, and

to me it kind of sticks me in the eyeball. I mean, uh,

let's try this in the New King James version. See what it says,

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be

moved, but abides forever, as the mountain surrounds Jerusalem. So the Lord

surrouses people from this time forth and forever. Don't you get the idea that

something is immovable? Yeah, and it's got a whole lot to do with

Mount Zion, doesn't it. Right? And you have to realize I think

you've described it in the past, Matthew as kind of like that tent pig.

That's right, It runs runs, from Jerusalem to Mount Zion and everything

around. It's going to be going to be reformed and moved around and topsy

turvy and wobble like a drunkard. But that that tent pig is going to

remain in place. It's going to remain upright. And you know, it

also reminds me of something else, and that's pretty important, because well that

concerns us. Right, ladies and gentlemen, if you're wondering about the multitude

from the tribulation, you need to understand something, because this really is true.

Because I heard what he said and what he meant. I'm just going

to read one verse for you. Of course, I don't need to give

the scripture reference because all your prophecy experts know exactly where this is at right.

For this reason, they are before the before the throne of God,

and they serve him day and night in his temple, and he who sits

on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them. Man, I tell you

understand what's and of course Jose already said it. It's like a big top

tent and that's the center pull there before the throne of God. They serve

him day at night in his temple. Okay, the next phrase don't make

sense, doesn't it. Jose? Right, If they're in his temple,

how could his tabernacle be around them? Because ladies and gentlemen, you need

to know that every well everybody knows about the Bethlehem Star, right, how

it came to rest right over the Lord Jesus Christ. Right, Jose right.

Well, imagine if you will, ladies and gentlemen, if God is

stationed in Mount Zion and the Lord Jesus Christ is directly beneath that point,

this is gonna make sense to you. This is gonna make sense to you.

And once you're in that space, geese will be upon you because nothing

can penetrate that poor, nothing can penetrate that perimeter, nothing can penetrate that

well. Here on planet Earth, it's a tabernacle, and even the devil

himself cannot breach that line, right, Jose Correct, So what happens at

the Battle of Gog and Magog Jose, Well, the devil is released and

then he goes and he raises up those people, the final attack on Israel,

on God's people. So so there's a battle, if you can call

it that. But yeah, they'll do it to attack. The Lord didn't

take to doesn't take too long to come to conclusion. But yeah, there's

no fight. Yeah, there's no fight. There's uh, there's no fight.

There's an extermination. Amen, yes, Amen, there's no battle before

the Lord God of Host. Well you didn't know this, ladies and gentlemen,

you didn't know that after the Perushia of Christ, it's a done deal.

Yeah, there's other thing's gonna happen, doesn't pertain to you. It's

gonna be. Ladies and gentlemen, don't you realize what the battle of Gog

and Magog is gonna be. There's gonna be like the Fourth of July and

the most grandiose fireworks display you've ever seen in your life. So if you

don't know these these steps on the timeline, I'm telling you the truth.

The reason why you don't know it is because you didn't read it as if

you believed it. Like Hebrews chapter twelve, verse twenty two, you didn't

believe it when you read it. And when you don't believe just one simple

verse, Oh my goodness, iose when you were a kid, did you

ever like to build houses with cards? Yeah? I love doing it.

Man, I mean, I remember that. I mean, I think the

most I ever got was I started on the fourth story and then and then

the weight would just make it collapse because I guess, well, I guess

you could go holler if you made it anyway. How many stories did you

get? Then? Not very tall, Matthew, I was never very good

at that. Maybe started on the third before before mine came down. And

it's amazing how it's usually on the bottom. One card will bear too much

weight, right, and when one single card buckles, Jose, it's done.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, If you don't believe every single verse when

you read it, you're never going to be able to build a construct that

represents what God says is to come, because there's only one thing. There's

the plan that he has, and that's what is to come. And if

all of you say that your prophecy experts, and yet you've never asked the

Lord your God for the greatest gift that he could give you by letting your

eyes the coming of this Christ, I find that a little hard to believe.

I don't you're obviously confused about Bible prophecy, because that's the point.

What did I shock you. That's the point. The point is that the

Lord, our God gets to have his creation run the way he wants it.

That's the point. I mean, what makes you think he ever wanted

you in heaven? I mean, did you not hear the entirety of the

verse from Hebrews Chapter twelve, verse twenty two. I mean, God already

has myriads of angels in heaven. Heaven's populated. He don't want, nor

does he need anybody else. I mean, there's really only one thing that

God ever deserved, right that was before the fall. It's the only time

God's ever got what he deserved. He made all of creation and it went

good for how long He's going to have it? For a thousand years?

And then the one that started all this miss He gets foot where he belongs,

and a new Heaven and a new Earth are created, and you actually

get to be a part of it. These are this quite simple facts of

the matter. These are the facts as they lay out, And it's pretty

exciting to think about and talk about. Jose, how many exciting intelligent conversations

have we had about God's work? Why I couldn't even cond him Matthew,

No, you can't be time we get together, and I mean there's times

where where I'm reading now I'm studying. It's like I'm amazed at what I'm

reading. And then we get together and of course you contribute your portion,

which is blowing my mind. But it does not fail. Matthew that between

what you reveal and what I've studied, I find something else above that.

God takes me somewhere. And it's not something that you said, hey,

go they will read this, or it's not me reading oh this, this

cross reference takes me to this chapter. No, it's us coming together and

discussing it and then God shows me. Oh, by the way, this

is what I meant here. It happens every time, Matthew, without fail.

That's right. I like how you put that without fail because we can

have an intelligent conversation because we know what's to come. We know the message,

right amen. Amen. When you know the message, you can have

an intelligent conversation about the Eye of God's Holy Word and nothing else is important,

nothing else is important. It really is that simple. And you know,

I bet there's something in this chapter that nobody can see. You know,

there's something here that stands out hose why don't you read for me verse

three again, with a scepter of wickedness and not rest upon the land of

the righteous, so that the righteous will not put forth their hands to do

wrong. Let me read this out of the ESV. For the scepter of

wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous, lest the righteous

stretch out their hands to do wrong. You're not catching it, are you,

Ladies and gentlemen. I'm saying it, but you're not hearing me.

I'm saying it, but you're not hearing me because you haven't heard me talk

about this particular thing before. You've heard me talk of it's inversion. But

he's saying something very important here. Yeah, jose can you read for me

Psalms chapter two, verse nine. Yep, you shall break them with the

rod of iron. You shall shatter them like earthenware. All right, Let's

try Revelation chapter two, verse twenty. And he shall rule them with the

rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces,

as I also have received authority from my father. How about chapter twelve,

verse five, And she gave birth to a son, a male child,

who is to rule all the nations with the rod of iron, and her

child was caught up to God and to his throne. Last, but not

lates. How about nineteen fifteen from his mouth comes a sharp sword, so

that with it he may strike down the nations, and he will rule them

with the rod of iron. And he treads the wine press of the fierce

wrath of God, the Almighty. Ladies and gentlemen, what is mentioned here

in Psalms one twenty five is the inversion of that rod of iron, And

you need to understand this. Psalm is saying, I'm I'm gonna explain it

to you again. First off, you need to get you something to write

with and something to write on, and you need to write down that portion

of Revelation chapter seven because that's what's going to happen to you, because if

you're not in that zone. Look, does everybody know how every single air

and nautical almanac works, every single one on the planet works off celestial navigation.

There is a series of points on the Earth that will line up perfectly

with stars in the heavens, and that's how you navigate, ladies and gentlemen,

And you need to know that's what this is talking about. Wherever God's

thrown, wherever mountains ion is is, it will past forth down just like

a tent, just like a great big tent that has a center pole,

and down on the ground. Wherever this line of demarkation is is where this

tabernacle is, and that other rod cannot exercise dominion in that place. This

is how Satan is ejected from the abyss, and he gathers people to the

battle of Gog and Makof. That's how he does it. It was always

in some one. And if you didn't know to talk about both of them

in the same mouth breath, it's because you didn't know what you were talking

about. What was coming out of your mouth was badly book. You're just

going YadA YadA, YadA, YadA, blah blah blah blah blah. Here

I'll read it for you again verse three. For the chapter of wickedness shall

not rest on the land allotted to the righteous, lest the righteous reach out

their hands to iniquity. So, ladies and gentlemen, if you weren't expecting

to know, if you weren't expecting to figure out this very night, or

this very day, or this very afternoon, wherever it is, where you're

at if you didn't realize that tonight you were going to learn from just five

simple verses how it is that Satan when he's released from the Abyss, how

he gathers Gog and Maggog to assault the citadel of righteousness. And I'll tell

you why you didn't know is because you needed a hint. Therefore, you

didn't have a clue, because when you read Psalm one twenty five, you

never believed it, and it should have got your attention. Wait, I

mean there's only one rod, there's only one scepter. Okay, I mean

I had Jose read it to you, and read it to and read it

to and I bet ninety nine percent of you never caught on to what I

was doing until I pointed it out to you that Psalms one twenty five,

verse three explains to you how Satan musters Gog and Maygog for the final millennium

battle. Now, come on, Jose, that's good stuff, right amen?

Absolutely, Matthew yep, So, so litt'le be this, my friend.

How much did I charge you for that? Nothing? You know?

Jose, did you ever think to ask me how it was that Satan gathers

everybody for gag and Nope, ladies and gentlemen, there's only one thing that

makes it eatier. Different than the student. You see, Jose, when

he was in elementary school, his teacher knew which questions to put on the

homework to give to Jose. His teacher knew which questions to put on the

test. That's how Jose learned everything he's ever learned, is because his teachers

always knew which questions to ask, Right, Jose, this is a true

statement. Right, yes, it is, Matthew. Yep. So here

we are at the top of the hour again, and I don't have enough

time. I think we need to take some time. I've explained plenty of

times, Jose. This Psalm ends with this Peace be upon Israel? Who

or what is Israel? Who is that? Israel? Is the Christian Matthew,

that is, And it's revealed right here in this san Matthew, because

verse four, that word for upright is the same root word as the word

Israel. In verse five. That's those that accept his son as their Lord

and Savior as their Christ, the same word that Simeon used in Luke chapter

two. Matthew is who Israel is? Amen? Hey, Jose, did

you know I don't want to win the lottery, but now you know what

I do want. No, Amen, Amen, you're closing comments. I

was like, no, Matthew. I think it's it's perfect the way Luke

chapter two lines up with Psalm one. And I'm going to read a couple

more verses than Luke chapter two that line up with what you're saying about the

scepter of wickedness and what you're saying about when Satan is released, and starting

in verse thirty four, Gimmian blessed them and said to marry his mother.

Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rise of many in Israel,

and for a sign to be opposed. And the sword will pierce even

your own soul to the end that the thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.

And I don't know, I don't know how good God does it,

Matthew. But I read what Sybean said in Luke chapter two, and I'm

hearing exactly what he said in ste That's a beautiful thing. I don't know

of anything more beautiful. I mean, ladies and gentlemen, I appreciate that

you all have spouses, and I appreciate it all of you have children in

your family, and I appreciate that some of you have the deed to many

sections. It's funny a lot of you don't even know a section is a

section six hundred acres. Many of you have already million dollars stored up for

retirement. Many of you this year will graduate relatives from school. Many of

you will go to weddings. But whatever's on your calendar, whatever it is

your If you want something less than the assurance of Simeon, if you want

anything less than that, you're so hopefully, hopelessly disconnected from the reality of

God's word. You don't even know what's good and what's not. I mean,

I appreciate that some of you went on vacation to Cancun this year.

I appreciate that a lot of you got to go, you know, skiing.

That's some lofty resort. I appreciate that many of you got to go

on cruises this year. I appreciate that many of you got to take a

cruise. I don't know what you were praying for. I don't know what

you were hoping for, But if it was anything less in the land of

the living than letting your eyes see the sign of the Son of Man stampeding

across the heavens just to get to you. I'm sorry I took you by

surprise, didn't I. He stampedes across creation to come get you. He

doesn't come here to smell the roses. He doesn't come here to make our

paths straight. He comes back here for you. And if you thought something

else was better, I don't even know what to say to that. Jose,

take us out of here in prayer, Please do your heavenly Father,

whom we love and serve, I give you thanks and praise for allowing us

to gather together as you're Eclesia as your body. Lord. Tonight I pray

for those widows and orphans and for those people that have lost loved ones.

Lord, I asked that you strengthen them. I ask that you give them

what they need physically, but above all, I ask that you give them

that spiritual food, that spiritual nourishment that they're lacking right now, that loss

that these individuals are feeling and losing their loved ones and losing a little bit

of the hope that they have. Lord, remind them that you have taken

their loved ones to their wreckt to a better place and to better things than

what they were enduring on this earth. And Lord, please remind those loved

ones that remain that we still hold out that hope to look up and see

our redemption coming, because that's what you have promised to Father. And we

ask all this in the name of your Son, our Lord and Savior,

Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen and Amen. Well next time, ladies and

gentlemen, God bless, God speed. Thank you for listening to Marinath the
