066 Book of Ascents Pt 5

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

Nighe. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program. We are

your host jose and Matthew Tonight, Part five, Diving into the Book of

a Sense, this extremely important series of fifteen chapters here in the Book of

Songs that is designed for you to study to digest before you ever enter the

Kingdom of Heaven. And ladies and gentlemen, that's probably quite a shock to

your system. You probably are so disconnected from the reality of the Bible,

God's Holy Word that what just came out of my mouth is probably pretty disturbing

to you. But I'm telling you the truth. These fifteen psalms, they're

called the Psalms of a Scent. You need to understand that the reason why

they've been incorporated is because of what is going to happen in the millennial reign

of Christ. You need to realize that this is coming straight from Zachariah chapter

fourteen. And if you're not looking for it, you won't see it.

I assure you that it's there. I'll read Zachariah fourteen, verse sixteen.

Then it will come about that any who are left of all the nations that

went up against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King,

the Lord of Host, to celebrate the feast of Booths. And it

will be whichever the families of the yearth does not go up that right,

there is Allah to ascend to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of

Host. There will be no rain on them. If the family of Egypt

does not go up there, it is again Allah to enter. Then no

rain will fall on them. It will be the plague with which the Lord

smites the nations who do not go up there. It is again Allah,

that's h fifty nine to twenty seven to ascend. It's a llaw to celebrate

the feast of Booth verse nineteen. This will be the punishment of Egypt and

the punishment of all the nations who do not go up there. It is

again allaw a fifty nine twenty seven in your strongest concordance to celebrate the feast

of Boose. Jose, you caught it right, God was literally repeated it

repeated it, repeated it and repeated it. So when you figure out that

that's what these books, that, that's what this Book of a Sense is

for, it puts you on a different level. It gets your gears turning

the right way, because you're like these four simple verses, said Lotti Gotti.

Everybody's going to do this. They're going to have to. So with

that in mind, that that that little thumbnail sketch review, Ladies and gentlemen,

this chapter is important. All fifteen chapters of the Book of a Sense

is important. And now you know why. And the thing about the Book

of a Sense is that it says things and describes things that have not happened

yet, and it words them as if you are remembering these events. And

this is why, because the Book of a Sense will be recited by all

the nations when they go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths. Of course,

some people call it the Feast of Tabernacles. Same thing. So,

pose you took a read of this chapter, give me your opening comments on

this chapter here, Chapter five of the Book of a Sense. Well,

Matthew, we'll get into where it where I think this is happening on the

timeline. But when I was reading through it, what occurred to me was,

if these are the songs that we're going to be singing, you know,

during that feast, during the millennial reign of Christ. If this is

what we're going to be remembering what God did for us, what God did

for his people. Boy, that's kind of the same way that he he

had he had his people remember his previous acts in that us. Right,

that yeah, exactly correct, right, whenever they whenever God's talking about you

know, his other his other feast, you know, he's reminding him I'm

the God that took you out of Egypt, took you from slavery, delivered

you to the Promised Land, and and you're you're you're forced to remember it

because every time you had that feast day, that holy day, you remember

it. Right. And what do we do as Christians, Matthew, whenever

our Holy days come, what with their specific passages that we hit on every

Christmas, every Easter, and we read them over and over because we're forced

to remember what God did for us on those on those holy days. And

so this is this is just that's following the same pattern. And now once

we entered that malaise reign of Christ. This is what God wants us to

remember. He wants us to remember that time of trouble that was going on

those birth pays what we had to endure during the tribulation, whether we were

in that place prepared or whether we were, you know, with the inhabitants

of the earth, and having to deal with with the beast and his kingdom,

and reminding us what he did to set up his kingdom for his son,

what he did to establish his throne for his son and make the airth

to his footstool. This is just that. That's what struck me as I

was written to this sa on Matthew, and you know, I'd have to

say, exactly spot on, that's exactly spot on. You know, this

is not a very long chapter at all. It's basically it's basically two stanzas,

and one stands as five verses. One stands as three verses, but

very short to the point, and I like it. It opens up very

strangely. It opens up extremely strangely because it says, let Israel say,

and then it states more than the prelude. So the prelude is just a

couple of phrases, and then it says, let Israel say as if King

David had been reciting something and he recited this whole thing, and the people

are repeating it right, all right? And how often do you see this

in the Psalms? I can't recall that, Matthew, Well, that's that's

one thing you would definitely have to say, Well, where has God did

this before? Right? And how are we able to fill in the blanks,

because well, in order for this to be done, somebody would have

been having to recite it and the we respond. Now, the Catholics and

the Orthodox are big on this, right, They do readings, right,

they do them quite often. The Lutherans also do readings, but there's a

lot of evangelical churches out there they don't ever do this. But this is

in the form of a public reading, ladies and gentlemen, and the pastor

or the priest will will will say something and the whole congregation will respond.

But we only get this one time, so one triggering event is supposed to

get everyone to say what follows it? So if you know what I'm talking

about, and they ever read liturgy and look at public readings where the person

leading is supposed to say something and then the congregation responds. It makes you

scratch your head. It's like, this is very strange. So you know,

hose many, many, many churches do this, and a lot of

churches, like you said, they'll do it on specific days of the year,

right right, And this is ramming this home. It's almost like,

wait a minute, did the modern day clergy did they get it? Did

they get this idea from Psalm one twenty four? Now that I caught your

attention, ladies and gentlemen, because well, like I said, this reads

kind of funny, it reads kind of strange. So it's almost like it's

inappropriate just to read this like we're going to read it. It's almost like

it's written like we're supposed to read this in a group setting and somebody,

somebody's supposed to be leading and everybody else is supposed to be following. So

you know, with that in mind, let's take note. We got a

couple of things at play here. Just as far as the numbers goes,

this creates the final leg of a kiasm that began in chapter twenty two.

Because we have chapter one twenty two is written by David, then we have

one twenty three, which we did in the last session. Now we're back

to David. So there is a chapter in between. This naturally creates a

chiasm. And there's no doubt about it that the four verses in Psalms one

twenty three's all about that mechanism that Jesus Christ is going to rule with this

rot of iron. So this should be pretty interesting because mechanically, I would

think that this must be at place, something must be going on here that

most people don't see, because this is this is a segment of a series.

Most people's not connecting this Psalm back to Psalm one two using someone in

twenty three as an extension chord. That that's what you should be doing.

So Jose, I think i've read last time. If you would like to

read this this time, unless you have further commentary, no, I can

read it. That would work all right. So I am reading out of

the NAFB, and again we are in Psalm one fur 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 man roads up against us, then they would have swallowed us

alive. When their anger was kindled against us, then the waters would have

engulfed us. The stream would have swept over our soul. Then the raging

waters would have swept over our soul. Let it be the Lord who has

not given us to be torn by their teeth. Our soul has escaped as

a bird out of the stare of the trapper. The snare is broken,

and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord who

made heaven and earth. Very simple, right, right, One thing's for

sure. I need to bring this up now, ladies and gentlemen. This

is not the last time this phrase. Let Israel now say it's not the

last time. It's in the book of a sense, but mechanically it's going

to get your attention. I just stated that Psalms one two, okay,

was David. Psalm one twenty three was left open. Psalm's one twenty four

is of David. So this is David again. And the next time this

phrase it doesn't come up to Psalm one twenty nine several chapters later. So

just so you know, you need to keep that in your back pocket.

Or we need to realize that this is all one message, which is a

little much for us to bite off right now. But ise, what's your

impression of this song? Well, Matthew, when you initially read it,

there's there's several places you can plant it on the timeline, you know,

in relation to what what type of tribulation the body is going through during that

that point in the timeline. Right, But Matthew, I can't help but

be drawn to Revelation twelve where it speaks about the flood going after the woman,

and that's just the same phrase ology I get here. So to me,

Matthew, when I read this, I'm reading chorus rebellion, and and

we'll get into that, well, we'll start reading verses. But to me,

when I read this, Matthew, this is, well, you think

everything's done, you're in that place prepared, you're in that vineyard, you're

you're not in the great tribulation, and then all of a sudden, here

comes a flood known as corus rebellion. You know, you just stole my

thunder. I couldn't well because well what you said might have been a little

confusing, right, because this happens in reciprocation. So the members of Marianatha

ministries, they know and understand that we are not going to be facing the

judgments right, correct, So those first four seals are not going to touch

us. What is going to touch us? I say, well, the

persecution, those those birth things. Yeah, those birth things that that that

they have to go through. That's sure. You have brother against brother,

mother against daughter the way the way you know Jesus described in Matthew twenty four,

and the church attacking itself. That's right. This is from our own

members, whether it be our personal family members or the members of our personal

church. This is what defines the birth pains. Ladies and gentlemen. This

is where you're going to know you're in the birth pains because these things will

start happening, and it will probably most probably start because of jealousy. Just

so you know, let's go take note, ladies and gentlemen. This certainly

applies to the birth pains, but Jose is most right, it also applies

to when we've been taken to a place that's been prepared for us. Because

Revelation Chapter twelve puts it in a very funny way, we get a wave

of rebellion, just like happened in Numbers Chapter sixteen. Does not come from

without. It comes from within. Not only does it come from within,

it comes from inside the very core. And why do I say that?

Yeh. Generically speaking, there's basically two types of Israelites. There's priest and

non priest. That's it. Okay, it was the priest alone that did

not have an inheritance of land. Correct, Jose Correct. Now many of

you are wanting to think that, well, you know, well, what

about Judah. Well, yes, the ruler will come from Judah, but

that doesn't mean that the tribe of Judah was separated like Believites. They were

priest. So this is not only coming from the inside, it's coming from

the core. This rebellion is not just coming from the temple, It's coming

from the Holy of Holies. And when that happens. When that happens,

it also is referred to as a flood. Both times. Both times you

are promised persecution. That's the only thing that can physically touch you. The

plagues can't touch you. Famine can't touch you no more than it touched the

zeropath woman and Elijah as she was taking care of him. You're going to

be in the most protected place in history during the tribulation, but during the

birth pains, you will be vulnerable to persecution. So when you know that

and you put those two together, oh my goodness, this is stated it

the perfect way, isn't it, Jose? Yes, And that's probably shocking

for a lot of people if they're not familiar with the Bible God's Holy Word.

But ladies and gentlemen, this is exactly exactly how it's described. And

when you go there and read that, just just listen for a minute,

Okay. Revelation Chapter twelve, verse fifteen. The serpent poured water like a

river out of his mouth after the woman to sweep her a way with the

flood. But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the

earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had poured from his

mouth. Now, if you know and are familiar with the Bible, God's

Holy Word, this only happened one other place. And it always irritates me

how I go to look for the cross reference here and it never takes me

to numbers. Chapter sixteen. Why is that, Jose? Because you and

I admit this is only referencing Kira's rebellion, correct, But most people won't

be able to put two and two together because that cross reference is missing,

right, right, right, So should we take a look at numbers chapter

sixteen to give everybody a refresher course that weekend, Matthew, let me just

point out a couple things before we move on. In Revelation twelve, the

flood that poured out of the serpent that takes place after the birth of the

male child and after Operation Eagles Wings. There that she's taken into the wilderness

to her place. So those of them take place, and the woman is

in that place that's been prepared for her. She's going to be protected,

and that's where the flood comes after her. So I think that's important,

you know, and understanding our timeline of events here, Matthew, That's when

Courad's rebellion takes place, is when she's in that place prepared. Yes,

yes, absolutely, And that is clear to the text, very clear to

the text, you know, And and I forget to do that a lot

of times. I'll begin talking assuming that people know where I'm at on the

timeline. But you're absolutely right if you're not, hose, I don't need

to read this, do I? I mean yes, because I fear God,

I bring it up and read it. Amen, But you and I

both know I don't need to read it, do I right? Nope,

I could tell you, ladies and gentlemen right off the top of my head.

I mean, I know many of you, because it's lent seasons,

are spending a half hour a day in the Bible. I spend four.

And any way I can get it, I mean anyway I can get it.

If I can't if I don't have electronic devices, I assure you I

have multiple paper copies in all the vehicles and in all the rooms in my

house. And if that doesn't work, if I'm out and about driving,

guess what, I have it on MP three and I listen to it.

And it's good that Jose pointed this out, that it's important for me to

remind you and remind you and remind you where you're at on the timeline when

these events happen in Revelation chapter twelve, year already in your protected place.

And then it says the ground opens up and helps the woman takes care of

the problem. This is literally coming straight from Numbers chapter sixteen. I mean

straight from it, you know, Jose, Can you jump over to Numbers

chapter sixteen? Definite? I can all right, very good, Why don't

we Why don't you start reading in verse twenty five, All right, and

just read well, you'll know when to stop. Then Modes arose and went

to Dayton and a Birom, with the elders of Israel following him, and

he spoke to the congregation, saying, depart now from the tenth of these

wicked men, and touch to nothing that belongs to them, or you will

be swept away and all their sin. So they got back from around the

dwellings of Cora, Daythan and a Byram, and Dayton and a Byron came

out and stood at the doorway of their tents, along with their wives,

and their sons and their little ones. Modes said, by this you shall

know that the Lord had sent me to do all these deeds, For this

is not my doing. If these men die the death of all men,

or if they suffer the fate of all men, then the Lord has not

sent me. But if the Lord brings about an entirely new thing, and

the ground opened its mouth and swallows them up with all that is theirs,

and they descend alive in the shield, then you will understand that these men

have spurned the Lord. And even this speaking all these words, the ground

that was under them split open, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed

them up, and their household and all the men who belonged to Cora with

their possessions. So they and all that belonged to them went down alive to

shield. The earth closed over them, and they perished. From the midst

of the assembly. All Israel who are around them fled at their outcry,

where they said, the earth may swallow us up. Fire also came forth

from the Lord and consumed the two hundred and fifty men who were offering the

insects. That makes it pretty clear. You know, we can perfectly attribute

this to the narrative in Revelation chapter twelve. Yep. As a matter of

fact, there's no way to separate them. There's no way to separate it.

And did you catch that phrase a new thing? If the Lord does

a new thing. You know, that was a pretty interesting way to put

it, wasn't it a new thing? Oh, ladies and gentlemen. I

just can't help but say this. If you say a phrase like that to

me, I think biblically, I mean a lot of people are into sports,

and that's how they think, right, right, They use their strategies

at work basically based off what they learned in games and sports. Right,

Yes, me, I think biblically and when when there's a new thing referenced

in the Bible, boy, that really that really sticks out to me.

For example, Isaiah chapter forty two, verse nine, Behold, the former

things have come to pass, and new things I now declare before they spring

forth, I tell you of them. Boy. That's that's the prettiest,

pretty serious thing to say, right, and it makes you think, Wait

a minute, one of the other voices associated with that, let me read

that one more time. Behold the former things have come to pass, and

the new things I now declare, before they spring forth, I tell you

of them. So, ladies and gentlemen, Jose mentioned the timeline quite a

few times, now, haven't you, Jose? Yes? And you know

what is to come, don't you? Yes? And that's really what we're

doing right now. This book of a sense is for a future time,

and when we're there in that new in that new thing, God would have

already told us of them. Let's try this, Isaiah chapter forty eight,

verse six. You have heard now you see all this and will you not

declare it? From this time forth? I announced to you knew things hidden

that you have not known. You know, Jose, If I keep reading,

it's really gonna chill you to the bone. Let me just read one

more verse. They are created now, not long ago, before today,

You have never heard them, lest you should say, behold, I knew

them. Verse eight. You have never heard, you have never known.

From of old your ear has not been open, for I knew that you

would surely deal treacherously, and that from him before birth you were called a

rebel. Now, what I've got to say about these verses is he's talking

about a different time, Jose, and I don't think people really understand what

I mean by different time. I mean right now. The time we live

in is twenty four hours, right right, right now, the time we

live in is three hundred and sixty five and a quarter days a year,

right right. That's not what he's talking about. He's talking about something else.

He's talking about something different. Now, I'm not going to take a

whole lot of time to go into that. Let's jump over to Jeremiah,

chapter thirty one, Verse twenty two. How long will you waiver? Oh,

faithless daughter, for the Lord has created a new thing on on earth.

A woman encircles a man. I think we've lightly talked about that verse

before, right right, and it certainly gets your attention, doesn't it.

Yep. So you know, with these things in mind, it kind of

rattles your cage that what on earth is going on here with God talking about

a new thing? You know, boy, if you don't know what is

to come, Jose, it can be very confusing, you would agree,

yep. If you don't know what's to come, it is fertile ground for

chaos and deception. You know. The plain reading of the text of the

Bible reduces a prophecy model. It's bulletproof and that's basically what we promote here

at Marianatha Ministries. We have a bullet proof prophecy model. It's a bullet

proof prophecy model. There are many models. There's pre trip right, but

that really that really doesn't mean anything. You also have to answer the question

about the millennial. So there's pre millennial, there's post millennial, and then

there's all millennial. They don't believe in a MILLENNIU reign at all. Right,

So this right, this just creates a quagmire, doesn't it. But

when you know what is to come, literally, lotty dotty, everything makes

sense, not just what we're reading tonight, but everything. It makes everything

make sense. Now, Jose I liked here in verse three, how it

says, then they would have swallowed us up alive when their anger was kindled

against us. Does everybody remember the cause for Kara's rebellion? You know?

Because that is very pointedly taking you back to Numbers, because that's exactly what

started the whole thing. I'll read it the opening verses of Numbers, chapter

sixteen. Now, Karab the son of is Hard, son of Kor,

son of Levi, and Dathan and Abraham, the sons of Elib some on

off pf sons of rumored hook men. They rose for Moses with the number

of people of Israel, two one hundred and fifty chiefs of the Congregation,

chosen from the assembly well known men. They assembled themselves together against Moses,

against Aaron, and said to them, you have gone too far for all

the Congregation or holy every one of them, and the Lord is among them.

Why then do you exalt yourself above the assemblies of the Lord. When

Moses heard it, he fell on his face. This is reading exactly,

this is reading literally exactly like this Psalm. It's reading exactly like this Psalm.

And once you see it, it'll bother you. Why the close I

mean eight verses here, this event must be pretty important. I mean the

opening die Tribe made it perfectly clear that these were actually priest right, Jose,

right, they are. This rebellion was not just coming from the Temple.

It was coming from the Holy of Holies, in God's chosen people.

Because God's chosen people is the Temple. This was coming from the Holy of

Holies. And he's expecting you to know this. He's expecting you to see

it. And now that you can see it, it's literally tied at the

hip one to another. So, Jose, this must be pretty important for

all of Israel to be saying this, right, and it does state one

thing about where we're at on the timeline here. When we're saying this,

Jose, would I be able to say this with somebody from Mexico? What

well we're going over? Yeah? Would I be able to say this?

Okay, let me ask you this a different way. Would I be able

to say this with the Russian? Yeah? I should be able to really

I don't know Russian. Well that's true. Okay, So this is another

thing that is tied off to another prophecy about when we acquire a pure language,

right, right, because Israel is who ladies and gentlemen, I know

you've undergone indoctrination through the entertainment industry. I'm gonna I'm going to shock you.

Did you know your God's chosen people, Your God's chosen if you are

saved in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, your God's chosen people,

nobody else. And there's coming a time when He will give you a purely

Well, he's going to do more than that, right, you're going to

I mean you could say that after the great changing that we go through at

the return of Christ, will we get aneo everything right? Hose right?

I mean we get permanently upgraded. So we'll get pure eyes, will have

perfect sight, We'll have pure ears, will have perfect hearing. I mean,

think about what I'm saying. You'll be given a perfect heart, You'll

be given a perfect cardiovascular system that will work at one hundred percent efficiency.

Of course, you will also acquire a perfect language. And that's exactly what

God says, So now that I said that, now that I brought that

to everybody's attention, that really gets your attention, don't it. That Israel

now say this is Lottie, Dottie, everybody in the body of Christ irregardless

of location. This is what's going to be happening. And I think that's

pretty bambastic. That's pretty amazing in of itself. What's your thoughts on after

this part? Like verse six, well, verse six, Matthew, it

ties into what I was reading in verse four and five, because I keyed

in on where it said that the stream would sweep over our soul. They're

raging waters would have swept over our soul. And then six and seven tells

us how that soul escape out of the stare. And again that takes me

right back to number sixteen, Matthew, because after the events of Corra's rebellion,

and after the earth swallowed them up, and after the fire destroys those

two hundred and fifty that are burning incense in verse forty one, it said

the next day all the congregation of the Suns of Visuel grumbled against Moses and

Aaron, saying, you are the ones who have caused the death of the

Lord's people. So God's telling us, Matthew, if he hadn't stepped in

and done it himself that time, or if he himself doesn't step in and

do it like what he said tells us in Revelation twelve, this same thing

is gonna happen. The people are gonna grumble against whoever whoever is acting as

Moses in that place. Right if there was a Moses and in that place

prepared that we're going to, they would grumble against him, and this whole

cycle would take place again. God would have to God would release and begin

to release a plague. And so it's almost like God saying, I'm cutting

that off and I'm doing it myself. I'm opening up this earth. You

know, there's not going to be any Brittana Benson's going on here this time

around. And boy, that that's just how Songs one twenty four says all

that information in eight versus I don't. I don't get it, Matthew,

because that's that's just like it's just matching up perfectly with what with what we

read in number sixteen, and it well, I would agree with you.

It's a little bit more than coincidence. Once you're able, once you're able

to see it, it's literally tied at the hip once you can see it.

But that flood, that flood of anger is gonna to sweep all through,

all through the congregation. Matthew in number sixteen, it was it was

read, they're ready to go right exact a mundo, exact a mundo,

and God I'm gonna wipe him out too. He don'd this and there and

that decide that's right? You know, I don't think I shared with you

that this is yet again, this is a kaiasm? Did you know that

that doesn't surprise me? Check this out, ladies and gentlemen. A kaiasm

is a Greek literary feature that is based off the letter kai, which is

what you you see an X. That's the Greek letter X. This pronounced

kai. This is a kaiasm. How God will create a see Saul with

a set of verses here it's the entire chapter. So take note that the

Lord is mentioned in verse one and with the stanza of seven and eight,

it says, the Lord, I'll show you so verse one if not been

the Lord, verse two, the Lord in verse eight, the Lord.

There you have it. Now you go to the next part, which is

verse three and verse six swallowed us up to swallow the swallowing action, and

in verse six it mentions pray to their teeth as pray to their teeth,

So verses is explaining how you would be swallowed up. And of course verse

four and five hop off of one another. Verse four has waters and stream,

and then verse five has crowd waters. This entire chapters of Chiasm,

God is repeatedly telling you that the end can be known from the beginning.

Now that's probably just enough to blow you away, But now it opens your

eyes that you can see. Now you're chomping at the bit. Hmm.

So if we're going to get persecuted in the birth pains and that comes from

inside the church, and it's also going to happen in the place prepared during

the tribulation, Boy, the end really can be known from the beginning,

can't it? Jose, Yes, it can map you and one thanks for

sure. There is no doubt there are two people like Moses and Aaron during

the tribulation, no doubt about it. That's the two witnesses. Correct,

Amen, Not to say that they're going to be with us, but they

will be in existence, right, So this makes it even more important to

the text that we realize that, hey, there really is a Moses and

Aaron in operation in the tribulation there. It's very plain. Revelation calls them

the two witnesses, and it directly plugs in the days of their prophesying to

the days of Elijah. I mean, there's no getting around that either.

So Jose, read this chapter one more time, and everybody listen with ears

that can hear. These verses are important. And when you listen to it,

where is Israel supposed to stop reciting this or is Israel supposed to do

all seven verses two through eight. Listen and see if you can catch it.

Read it one more time for us. So they 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 man rose up against us, then they would have swallowed us

blithe. When their anger was kindled against us, then the waters would have

engulfed us. The stream would have swept over our soul. Then the raging

waters would have swept over our soul. Let's it be the Lord who have

not given us to be horn by their teeth. Our soul has escaped as

a bird out of the snare of the trapper. The snare is broken,

and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord who

made heaven and earth. Why does he mention that who made heaven and earth?

Why does he say that, ladies and gentlemen, Why does he say

that our help is in the name of the Lord who made heaven and earth.

You know, ladies and gentlemen, you're supposed to know at this point

in time the Father is ruling in heaven and the Son is ruling on earth.

And at this point you will know intimately in ways we don't know,

because at this point in time, we'll have done gone through the resurrection.

Now I said it that way because I don't need to use the other term.

Yes, most of you were expecting me to say raptured, right,

but you all know this first. Corinthians chapter fifteen states ilicitly that the resurrection

takes first before we who are alive and remain go through our change. So

why is it that the church separates these two terms. So if you're alive

then remain, you get raptured Jose, that's correct, right. I don't

know about that. It is what they say, right, Yes, that

they say, but right before that, everybody who's in paradise, they get

resurrected, right right. They all admit this, right. So why is

it, ladies and gentlemen, that this this second work's been thrown into it

because it is a resurrection. I mean, first print in chapter fifteen is

very clear about this point. It's very clear about it that the perishable cannot

inherit the imperishable, right the old things can inherit new things. It goes

through many different ways to describe it, but ladies and gentlemen, it's saying

the same thing, that the change that the dead go through is the same

as the change we go through. Did that shock you that I said that,

Jose? No, Matthew, I bet it shocked a lot of people,

didn't it, Yep, Because they've never thought of it in that light.

They've never put those things together. But ladies and gentlemen, listen,

I'm going to read just a little bit from this, and this is gonna

make you mad when I've read it, because there is no two different things.

Verse thirty five of First Corinthians chapter fifteen. But someone will ask,

how are the dead raised? With? What kind of body do they come?

You, foolish person. What you sew does not come to life unless

it dies. And what you sew is not the body that it is to

be, but a bear kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.

But God gives it a body as he has chosen. And to each

kind of seed its own body. For not all flesh is the same.

But there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds,

and another for fish. There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But

the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the

earthly is of another. There is one glory of the sun, another glory

for the moon, and another glory of the stars. For star differs from

star in glory. So it is with the resurrection of the dead. What

is sown is perishable. What is raised is imperishable. If it is sown

in dishonor it is raised in glory. If it is sown in weakness,

it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is

raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there's also a

spiritual body. Thus it is written, the first man Adam became a living

being. The last atom became a life giving spirit. But it is not

the spiritual that is first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.

The first man was from the earth, a man of dust. The second

man is from heaven. As was the man of dust, So also there

are those who are of dust, And as is the Man of heaven,

are also those who are of heaven. Just as we have borne the image

of man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the Man of

heaven. Ladies and gentlemen, just sit tight. He's not done. I

tell you this brother's flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, nor

does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold, I tell you a mystery.

We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment,

in the twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet, For the trumpet

will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall all

be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, This mortal

body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and

the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is

written, death is swallowed up in victory, Oh death, Where is your

victory? Oh death? Where is your sting? Ladies and gentlemen, If

you look at this in Greek, he just wrote a whole dictionary to lay

out for you that, No, that's a lie. You're going to go

through the same exact process as those who are asleep in Jesus right now.

So why are they calling it something else? The Greek states here very clearly

that both those who are alive and remain and those who are asleep we shall

be raised. Did you catch that, jose? Yep? There is no

two different types of processes, just one, just one processes. So why

has this infiltrated the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ? Why is that?

Why does some people say that those who are alive and remain they get raptured

and the people who are dead they get resurrected, Because that's just the opposite

thing that many verses in First Corinthians chapter fifteen said, it's the same exact

process. If you're going to call it something, you need to call it

resurrected. Because this simple fact remains. Jose, Can I ask you something?

So, who can see God face to face? What does the Old

Testament say about that no one can see him face to face? Matthew?

Have you read about return a Christ there in Revelation chapter Oh, I don't

know, eighteen or nineteen, and you know twenty. Have you read about

that event? Yes? Really? Who survives it? What, ladies and

gentlemen, are you confused? Let me say that again. Who survives it?

I mean it goes off with a bang, right, Jose, Right,

it does. I mean it goes off with a great, big bang

when Christ comes back. I mean it's not some little bitty thing that happens.

I mean he literally gets here and crashes everybody's party. I mean,

it's pretty clear what happens he here. Let me read it, Okay,

chapter nineteen, let's start. Oh, I don't know, just just for

theatrics. Let's start in seventeen. Then I saw an angel standing in the

sun with a loud voice. He called to all the birds that fly directly

overhead, come gather for the Great Supper of God, to eat the flesh

of things, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the

flesh of horses and their riders, the flesh of all men, both free

and slave, both small and great. And I saw the beast and the

kings of the earth, with their armies, gathered to make war against him

who was sitting on the horse, and against his army. And the beast

was captured, and with it the false prophet, who in its presence had

done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the

beast, and those who had worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive

into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. And the rest were slain

by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was setting on the

horse, And all the birds were gorged with their flesh. Jose who survives

this event? And no one, Matthew, did you catch that? Ladies

and gentlemen, did you catch that? He punches through Earth's atmosphere, directly

over this army that's been assembled. If you're an eye shot of Christ,

you're doomed. I don't care how tough you think you are. If you're

an eyeshot of Him, you're dead. Except the woman who has made her

garments ready. The only way to survive this event is to be resurrected.

Your body will go from being like that of a seed to that of a

wheat stalk. Right, Jose, Yes, how are those two things similar?

Because they're not. They're not similar. And first Corinthians chapter fifteen made

himself perfectly clear, God did, this is one procedure. It's not one

procedure for the living and a different procedure further dead. It's the same thing,

and it is a resurrection where you are raised. Hose your thoughts.

No, Matthew, that's all important stuff that you're discussing. Important to understand.

Again, it rolls right into our timeline like we've been talking about.

And I think sometimes, Matthew, it just it can kind of overwhelm us

when we consider the testing we're gonna have to go through during the birth tanks,

the persecution, the ten days, a tempting that we're gonna have to

go through when we're waiting between the day of the Lord and operate some eagles

leans, and then even when we're in that place prepared, we're gonna be

tested again. But Jesus himself, Matthew told us how to endure all this

and that's what well, that we called them the two greatest commandments, the

love the Lord, your God with all your being, not to love your

neighbor as yourself. And that encompasses the ten commandments and the be attitudes,

and that in that one statement, Matthew, and in all this, all

this while you're waiting for that process to take place that you just described,

that's the way we have to hold onto It seems it seems simple, But

boy, that's that's the powerful truth that Jesus, that God, Jesus the

Holy has as left up, Matthew, because these are perilous times, these

are troubling times that are coming. But God shown God's shown us how we

can become that bride that you're talking about, Matthew, how we can be

prepared to join with his son. And and I'm thankful for that, Matthew,

because it would be impossible without that something that I repeatedly pray. It's

probably true that I've probably play prayed this more than than anything else about myself.

Me saying that I pray this daily is is is an understatement. I

asked the Lord this many times. I asked the Lord, you create a

pure heart in me, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. And I

tell the Lord point blake, because if you don't do these things for me,

Lord, I have no hope of entering your kingdom, and I never

did. And basically that process is basically summed up in one word. You

have to be sanctified. But if you think that you can pull this off

without the Lord creating a pure heart within you and renewing a steadfast spirit within

you, you're dead wrong. You're dead wrong. You don't have the power

to do that. I mean, I'll tell you what I have the power

to do. Oh, I have the power to break out windows. I

have the power to get mad at car doors and rip them off. The

hinges. I've got the power to carry you know, thirty squares of shingles

up a two story ladder by myself. You'd be surprised what I can do.

But I'll tell you what I can't do. I can't created myself a

pure heart, give myself good intentions, and more importantly, keep my spirit

even killed so that I don't lose control, lose my temper. YadA,

YadA, YadA, YadA. I can't. If you think I could,

I don't know what you were thinking, and maybe all of you should start

praying that now too, because you have no You have no hope. If

the Lord your God does not get involved in your life and create in you

a pure heart and renew a steadfast spirit within you, you have no hope.

You need to be sanctified. You need a touch, and that touch

can only come from one place, and it ain't you, Jose, take

us out of here in prayer, Police, Dear have any Father whom we

love and serve, We thank you for allowing us to gather together today to

share your word, to read your word, to discover what you have left

for us in your word. Lord, today I pray for the families of

the Ecclesia. Lord, I pray that whatever anxieties, whatever sickness, whatever

hurts that our family members are going through, please be with them, Please

heal them, Please enable us to take care of those family members that are

in need. Lord. I also ask that what we read tonight you allow

us to share with our family, and you allow those words to enter into

their hearts and into the ears. Our greatest prayer, Father, is not

only for ourselves to enter into your rest, but also that our family as

well. Lord, I know that it will be your will who you choose

to be with your son. But we pray at this time for those families

that as much of our family members as you can gather together, that you

do so. And we asked all this in the name of your son,

our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen, and Amen,

and ladies and gentlemen. Until next time, God bless, godspeed. Thank
