Publisher transcript
Transcript
-
If you've got your bible with you turn
-
to the book of judges,
-
judges,
-
and you wanna go to chapter 9, although
-
the first a couple verse will probably read
-
we'll be in judges 8. So judges 8
-
and 9.
-
And we're gonna be looking at a very,
-
very interesting story. They're so... I hope you're
-
reading your bibles.
-
I hope you're a student of the word,
-
hope you're men and women of the word.
-
And I hope you're getting in and diving
-
into the old testament because
-
the old testament stories are actual events that
-
have taken place that are historical events that
-
god moves sovereign in and he creates all
-
these pictures. He gives us flesh and blood
-
pictures that he puts upon biblical concepts and
-
and truths where we see these things worked
-
out. In the affairs of men and women,
-
and we see how God is exalted and
-
how we're to follow him and how we're
-
to also be aware of the perceptions that
-
are just mass.
-
So when you go, I wanna look at
-
abi,
-
a very wicked king,
-
a very wicked king. In fact, we always
-
think of king saw as being the first
-
king of Israel. If I asked you a
-
bible trivia question. I said, who was the
-
first King of Israel, you would say King
-
saul, of course. But guess what? You might
-
be a little bit wrong. Because I've been
-
elected. In the time of judges, usually when
-
you read the book of judges, you're reading
-
about different judges. Right? Yet this guy actually
-
pops up as a king
-
over Israel,
-
Yet, you'd still be right because Saul was
-
the first God ordained king of Israel.
-
Ben was an impostor an is who set
-
himself up over god's people
-
as king.
-
And it's very, very fascinating this story
-
And
-
I did a message in Mexico
-
about the name of the Lord and the
-
mighty power of the name of Jesus.
-
And I thought about preaching that message when
-
I came back on a Sunday. And part
-
of it was about our abi, but a
-
Was probably 5 or 10 minutes of my
-
message.
-
And I thought, no. I'm not gonna preach
-
that message. I'll preach that message another time.
-
I was excited about that message. I love
-
that message because it's just the power that's
-
in Jesus name that we have, and I'll
-
that another time. But I didn't get much
-
into a bim. And I thought, you know
-
what? I really wanna say a lot more
-
about a when I was in Mexico,
-
but y'all I only had an hour.
-
And then Jonathan was in a preached for
-
an hour. But when you only have an
-
hour in your In Mexico and you don't
-
speak,
-
Spanish, You only have half an hour. Because
-
you have the translator.
-
So I said, Abi is gonna have to
-
wait.
-
So... And then I just strengthened that my...
-
What I wanna teach about, Abi, And the
-
name of this message is Abi
-
and the coming antichrist.
-
There are many many pictures of Jesus throughout
-
the old testament
-
types, you know, whether it's sacrifices
-
in the temple, the Tab, whether it's a
-
tab tab or the temple itself. Amen. And
-
may various
-
all the way back from you know, melchizedek
-
and and so forth,
-
wonderful pictures of Jesus.
-
Types David is a picture of Jesus who's
-
the son of David. But there's also these
-
pictures or typo technologies of the antichrist that
-
God's
-
allowed to come forth and sovereign worked in
-
the midst of the affairs of man to
-
draw these pictures. Goliath is an incredible picture
-
of the antichrist. I did a message
-
some time ago. On a major treat, I
-
also did a message here, a couple years
-
back. I think it was showing that Goliath
-
has a picture of the antichrist. Who could
-
make war with him. Right? I raised freaked
-
out. But David,
-
made war with him amen,
-
and he was hit with a rock in
-
the head. Right?
-
Now even the rock is a picture of
-
Jesus, he's cut out with the hands that
-
destroys the image. Right, of Ne Can,
-
and and the beast kingdoms in the end,
-
you know?
-
And his brother, you know, 1 of his
-
brothers had 6 fingers in 6 toes.
-
You know, 6... And I show 666
-
in
-
relationship to,
-
goliath himself and and how he's defeated. And
-
no 1 can make work with him. And
-
he basically, you know, attached to the demon
-
gods. Well, Abi is another picture of the
-
antichrist that's coming. And it's interesting because we're
-
living in incredible times right now.
-
And the times of the judges were much
-
like they are today.
-
It says there was no king in Israel.
-
Right?
-
Everybody did what was right in their own
-
eyes. You basically had a anarchy kinda
-
situation, do what that. Well... And they god
-
would appoint judges. Right?
-
And bring the people repentance and give them
-
some leadership
-
before, eventually, there would be God's stalled king,
-
and that's a whole another story.
-
And people clam for king and then God
-
gave him a king and then that king
-
ended becoming evil and then he gave another
-
king after his own heart named David.
-
But this guy is installing himself as king
-
in the midst of the judges.
-
We live in a day in age where
-
people are doing what's right in their own
-
eyes as well.
-
And right now, there's people clamoring for political
-
power.
-
Here in the United States we live in
-
a democratic republic.
-
A lot of people talk about democracy, but
-
we forget it's a democratic republic. It's supposed
-
to be representative government. Right? That's supposed to
-
stand for some certain moral things. Right? That
-
supposed to be reflect, righteousness and the morality
-
that you see in the scripture, I'm not
-
saying where a Christian government. I mean, when
-
you take out your your your your dollar
-
balance says in God, we trust how many
-
of us believe that that's true of our
-
country.
-
It's not at all, not by long shot.
-
And these 3
-
you know,
-
branch the government are supposed to keep each
-
other accountable,
-
but that's not really happening so much now
-
is it. You know? It's actually pretty sad
-
what's taking place.
-
And
-
I know what biden is really biting up
-
to Trump right now and he's so heartbroken,
-
you know, what happened,
-
you know, and everything and and it seems
-
like All love each other, but there's a
-
lot of ugliness in politics.
-
On on both sides the aisle, by the
-
way, you know?
-
And I I praise God because,
-
we've been emphasizing over the last couple years
-
praying for your leaders more. And I say
-
emphasizing, I mean, emphasizing more than I had.
-
In the first several years of my password
-
because I would look like, you,
-
Bill Clinton and then Like, oh, So hard
-
to pray for not that I pray for
-
them, but I thought I need to encourage
-
prayer for these guys more. You know? And
-
I'm glad Steve did that in regard to
-
the leadership that we have now. But I'm
-
also praying for a new leadership.
-
Well,
-
we pray for new leadership, but the Bible
-
said it's gonna be worse. Yeah. But could
-
you imagine how much worse it would be
-
if you didn't pray.
-
Think about that. And by the way new
-
leadership is ultimately coming.
-
Thy kingdom come, I will be dead amen.
-
He will still his son and saw his
-
son on the holy hill. Amen.
-
So my vote is always king Jesus ultimately.
-
Amen.
-
So as we look at this,
-
and we look at this king,
-
it's important to understand the judge that preceded
-
him
-
a judge that preceded this king of
-
Was a man by the name of Gideon.
-
Gideon was
-
a judge, not a king, but he was
-
an awesome judge.
-
He has some moral failures afterwards too, and
-
it was actually his story is actually quite
-
sad.
-
And we reached something very interesting about him
-
when they wanted to make him king
-
And we read that in judges 8 before
-
we get to judge's 9 and look at
-
judges 8 verse 22.
-
Judges have to 8 verse 22. It's up
-
on the big screen as well. If you
-
don't have a phone or you wanna look
-
at the screen.
-
It says, then the men of Israel said
-
to Gideon,
-
rule over us.
-
Both you and your son and your son's
-
son
-
for you have delivered us from the hand
-
of of mit.
-
And what the battle that was. Right? If
-
you remember that battle,
-
when he overcame the nights. But Gideon had
-
said to them, I will not rule over
-
you.
-
Nor shall my son rule over you. The
-
lord shall rule over you.
-
Now that is all precious because he's saying,
-
hey, God's is not appointing me as king.
-
God put me as judge.
-
But you want me to have a dynasty
-
where I rule as your king and then
-
my sons and my, you know,
-
his son and my grandson and so forth,
-
He goes, that's not where it's gonna be.
-
The Lord is going to rule over you.
-
The problem is is as you know, if
-
you read the book of judges why you
-
find over and over again? They're doing what's
-
right in their own eyes. God brings them
-
repentance. A oftentimes that happens by God allowing
-
their enemies to attack them, and they go
-
into slavery and they cry to God. And
-
god delivers him from that slavery
-
because they repent, and then he bless them
-
and they have some prosperity and and then
-
they
-
take the ease again and they began to
-
look to the idol or the pagan practices
-
and sexual sin and they go back into
-
the wicked.
-
And they go into slavery all over again.
-
It's just repeated. Rinse, wash, get dirty, you
-
know, so forth. Over and over again. Well,
-
Gideon recognizes he doesn't want step out of
-
what God is doing.
-
The crazy thing is though is,
-
even though Gideon said he didn't want become
-
a king.
-
He begins to live like a kingdom though.
-
He becomes incredibly lavish and in the way
-
he begins to dress, and he takes a
-
bunch of wives con beans and so forth.
-
And he begins to live like a king.
-
And it's not sending the the best message,
-
and then we go to judges chapter 9
Judges 9 chapter mention
-
versus 1 and 2.
-
And I be, the son of Ge A,
-
Say J or Ge A.
-
Connected to the word ball, by all or
-
ball or bail or the false God.
-
And by the way, whenever you see Jeremiah
-
all now,
-
it's talk about Gideon.
-
Getting... This is his name that they're calling
-
him.
-
It's a pagan name. And
-
there... You'll see him call that throughout this
-
chapter.
-
And Abi, the son of J A
-
went to she.
-
To his mother's relatives
-
and a lot of
-
can nights. Because remember they had just come
-
in the land, not too long before this.
-
There's a lot of cane nights in the
-
land.
-
He he went to his mother's relatives.
-
And this is 1 of the sons of
-
Gideon or Ge Ball.
-
And spoke to them and to the whole
-
clan of the household his mother's father saying.
-
Speak now
-
the hearing of all the leaders of She.
-
Which is better for you that 70 men,
-
all the sons of J all rule over
-
you or that 1 man rollover over you.
-
Also remember that I am your bone I
-
am your bone and your flesh.
-
Now keep in mind, as I mentioned, Gideon
-
or J ball had many, many
-
children. Many sons.
-
And 1 of them is here from She.
-
And he's saying, hey, do you want me
-
to rule over you? Because he was born
-
from a?
-
Now, c binds were cons that were not
-
necessarily
-
having the official status as a wife, but
-
leaders and
-
chief tin and kings would often take them
-
in times of war as part of their
-
spoil, and they have them as
-
as they're
-
basically almost like wives, but they typically wouldn't
-
live with the king or they wouldn't live,
-
you know, with the chief 10, they would
-
live in their, you know, their family's house,
-
but at the same time Bar children. You
-
know? This was not the way the Lord,
-
Lord took said let 2. Right? Become 1
-
flash. Right? And God said, when he gave
-
a law, not for for the king's not
-
to multiply to yourselves wives. That's his warning.
-
Now here,
-
this is part of Gideon his mistake,
-
and he has a wife
-
or a will call from she
-
And the Shu, you know, Abi says, hey,
-
guys. He's rallying for political power.
-
He wants to rule over these guys.
-
And he says, hey, do you want, you
-
know, those his half brothers really?
-
Do you want them to rule over you?
-
There's no evidence by the way we don't
-
say anything in the text There's no evidence
-
that the 70 brothers were seeking to rule
-
over She.
-
But he puts a scare tactic out there.
-
Hey. Why don't you set me up as
-
your king? Because I'm 1 of your relatives,
-
you know? It's a political
-
maneuver.
-
So it's quite interesting
-
what we are seeing here.
-
And in chapter 9 verse 3, we read
-
this. And his mother's relatives spoke all these
-
words
-
on his behalf.
-
And in the hearing of all the leaders
-
of She, and they were inclined to follow
-
For they said, he is our relative.
-
Now, She was a very, very, very fascinating
-
place
-
because She
-
was a place where Abraham went to an
-
oak tree and made a covenant, and that's
-
where God reveals himself.
-
To Abraham,
-
by showing him, and this is in Genesis
Genesis 12 chapter mention
-
chapter 12, showing him the, all the land
-
of Israel.
-
As far as you could see telling him
-
that he he would possess this land.
-
Atlantic.
-
Now that wouldn't come for over 400 years.
-
Right?
-
But he's saying I'm gonna give you this
-
land, which the land flowing with milk and
-
honey the promised then. Which he he did.
-
So this is where Abraham was promised.
-
The land. It's also interesting because this is
-
a place she them where his grandson Jacob,
-
Dug a well
-
to the lord,
-
and
-
bless the lord there.
-
And worship him there.
-
Fact is interesting.
-
It's there. That's the center of what is
-
now known as, and would later be known
-
as Sam.
-
Remember the woman at the well.
-
The woman at the well in Sami mary,
-
you can still go to that well.
-
It's hard to get in place and have
-
safety in some of the areas of Sam
-
area, modern sam area, but, that well exists
-
today.
-
A she is also where Joseph was
-
bones were buried.
-
Remember, after Abraham,
-
you know, they went into captivity,
-
Jacob's 12 sons. Right?
-
It wasn't captivity yet because God used Joseph
-
to set
-
to to feed the world,
-
and his peep... His his brothers came over
-
to Egypt to remember that. And they dropped
-
there in safety, even they were blessed for
-
some time, but a fe rose that forgot
-
them, and then they became enslaved, and then
-
you have the exodus and the red sea.
-
And then coming back into the
-
coming into the promise that god had promised
-
them, but God brought the bones
-
of Joseph
-
through his people, the his israelites out of
-
Egypt.
-
Picture of the resurrection, by the way, out
-
of death and brought them into the promised.
-
And it was here in She
-
where they were buried. Very fascinating,
-
history,
-
She
-
has. I hope on our Israel trip, we
-
can go to she them
-
to a specific place, which you'll see pictures
-
of.
-
It's kinda hard to get there. Here you
-
might need armored piercing scene
-
you know, bus, you know, that's not armour
-
pierced.
-
You might need a military escort, but we'll
-
see because I think it would be worth
-
going to. You know? Hey, if the president
-
can get shot through the ear, we could...
-
What can we could do all kinds of
-
things for Jesus amen.
-
So, not that Lord's calling you to do
-
that necessarily.
-
Well, If I'm gonna die. I wanna be
-
witnessing, hey, when we go to israel, we
-
go witnessing. Okay?
-
Alright. So it's interesting. All this is very
-
fascinating.
-
And this is Where Jason encountered the woman
-
with the well as well. Chapter 9 verse
-
4. They gave him 70 pieces of silver.
-
That is the those who rallied around
-
Abi
-
from the house of Be all Be or
-
Be,
-
with which Abi hired worthless and reckless fellows
-
And they followed him.
-
Sounds like a,
-
you know,
-
a presidential cabinet or something, you know, today,
-
maybe perhaps, I don't know. Just kind of
-
people that rally around politics.
-
You know, who was that? I forget the
-
the statesman that said, as soon as somebody
-
aspire for politics.
-
They begin to rot from within, You know,
-
something like that. Now I believe that's always
-
true. I believe there's states and people that
-
are noble but they're far between it's... Hard
-
to climb that ladder. Hence the reason for
-
needing to pray. Amen, and crying out to
-
god. But it's interesting He has his hen
-
surround him to do his murderous bidding, then
-
chapter 9 verse 5. Then he went to
-
his father's house
-
at Oprah
-
He know he knew Oprah wind? No. And
-
it's not the same.
-
At Oprah and killed his brothers.
-
The sons of Dr. This guy's
-
J A or dr.
-
However do you wanna pronounce it?
-
70 men. He kills 70 men on what.
-
1
-
stone.
-
So he lifts the sword and just hacks
-
their head off. But Joe Jo, the youngest
-
son Rub bell,
-
was left was left
-
before he went,
-
hit himself.
-
This young son man, he hides himself.
-
K. He's like a remnant who lives? By
-
the way, what's the antichrist going to do?
-
How is it gonna kill his enemies.
-
He's gotta be head them?
-
That interesting.
-
This guy is doing mass of his enemies.
-
Sick talks about everyone who doesn't take 666
-
of mark The beast will be beheaded.
-
Okay? This isn't... The stuff's not here by
-
accident guys.
-
And by the way, look at first 5
-
now,
-
then he went to his father's house and
-
we we just looked at that, but has
-
these guys, but Jo escapes.
-
Jo name is interesting. It means Ja way
-
is perfect.
-
Y is perfect.
-
And it's interesting, they reject the other sons
-
of Gideon,
-
including Y is perfect. I think that's interesting.
-
It's just remember they wanted Jesus to be
-
crucified, and they wanted, you know, bar bra
-
to be set free.
-
And Jo who I believe the picture of
-
the remnant and Y perfect represents the perfect
-
God.
-
And the 70... You tries to put 70
-
people to death
-
Seventies is a very interesting number in the
-
bible.
-
It's a number like 7 of perfection. How
-
many times she'll forgive my brother. Jesus up
-
to 7 times says, Peter. Not up to
-
7 times Peter, but what
-
70
-
times 7.
-
Moses appointed 70 elders to help him enroll
-
israel.
-
You see that number come up a lot.
-
In fact, I looked at more than that.
-
I thought, I'm not gonna use all these
-
It'll be too exhausted, but just to give
-
you an understanding,
-
this guy is
-
contrary to God's law,
-
ex himself and rejecting
-
God's rule over his people
-
That's a numbers 11:16, if you're looking up
-
the passage. The other ones in Matthew 18
-
on the forgiveness.
-
Abi
-
conducts this mass murder, and I it's... It's
-
quite interesting because
-
I also believe that there will be mass
-
be heading under the antichrist, but Also believe
-
there'll be remnant of people that will survive
-
both Jews and Christians, there'll be the the
-
woman the wilderness, I'll be crying out to
-
God that he'll be protecting from I christ.
-
Paul tells believers, including gentile towels, those of
-
us who remain. Right?
-
Talks about there's gonna be this persecution but
-
it talks about those who remain. Right? Will
-
be caught up to meet the Lord in
-
the air at the second coming. So some
-
of us will remain. And that greek word
-
remain is it also means survive.
-
The word remnant by the way, is connected
-
to our English word remain, and that doesn't
-
mean and and and there will be survivors
-
that will be alive at the end of
-
the tribulation period.
-
We know that from various texts. Some will
-
be killed. So be beheaded in Revelation 13
-
8 through 10, some will go into prison
-
it says. You know,
-
in the captivity.
-
We know that well others will be, you
-
know,
-
in their homes. Wanna be taken and wanna
-
don't be left. Right?
-
In the sitting next to, you know, your
-
wife or whatever. You're taking she's left or
-
vice versa and make sure you're both saved.
-
Hey, man. So it's quite interesting. All this
-
is kinda is fascinating.
-
But it's interesting the chapter 9 versus 6
-
and 7 now.
-
Look at chapter 9 versus 6 and 7.
-
We'll get that up there on the... Dwight...
-
Did I give you guys 9, 6 and
-
7?
-
Somehow it didn't make it.
-
All the men have shook them and
-
all a bath
-
assembled together, and they went and made abi
-
king
-
by the oak.
-
So if you've got your, you know,
-
bible open or your phone.
-
They made him king by the oak of
-
the pillar, which was in check.
-
Now when they told Jo or Jo,
-
he went and stood on the top of
-
Mount Gu.
-
K?
-
He's on a very famous mountain, Mountain Gu.
-
It's like 800 feet taller, so not huge,
-
but, you know, like 1 of our big
-
hillside here that surrounds to see me.
-
And went out Ga and and then Joshua...
-
So he went him out
-
by the oak, which was at She.
-
Now when they told Jo, he went and
-
stood at the top about ge and lifted
-
his voice and called out. Thus he said
-
to them, listen to me o men of
-
shaq.
-
That God, they listen to you.
-
So this young man is bold, man,
-
gets some mount Ga
-
and he's shouting.
-
And this is really, really fascinating
-
because there's so much history here, including on
-
Mount Eb,
-
and mount Ga.
-
And what's happening here is quite fascinating.
-
Did you did did he get... Did put
-
up the picture of
-
Or is jay tape figures up He would
-
know. I will go to... There we go.
-
There it is. Good job. So you can
-
see Mount Ga
-
k? If we go to Israel, this is
-
1 of the places I'd like to take
-
you. We have never been here, but there's
-
Mount Gu. You notice this across from another
-
mountain Mountain eb ball. K? And the valley
-
below these is called she, and there's a
-
valley that goes, you know, right through between
-
the 2 mountains.
-
Okay?
-
And it's very fascinating
-
the history of all of this is very,
-
very fascinating.
-
Because when they came into the promised land,
-
from
-
Egypt. Right?
-
God had them get on these mountains. He
-
had the 12 tribes split up.
-
On both sides of the mountain.
-
And by the way, the levi would go
-
stream between the 2 mountains with the arc
-
of the covenant.
-
Which the picture Christ.
-
And there's a way
-
and his... And it's z way. His name
-
is Jesus, the arcs of picture him. And
-
there it's quite interesting because it's there that...
-
And we can keep that picture up if
-
we can because just lost it. That that
-
when you look at what's going on here
-
it's very, very fascinating because
-
God has an altar made here. It's called
-
the Altar Joshua what Joshua build an altar.
-
And Joshua reads the law.
-
And He around me 17 and 18, which
-
I wish I had more time to get
-
into all this.
-
He he gives us details about this. And
-
how
-
curse were red.
-
And the tribes that were put on out
-
ball where there symbolically of those who are
-
being cursed
-
by God.
-
Because they're coming into the promised land, and
-
God was d possessing this possessing
-
the nations, the different, you know, parasites and
-
Ji sites and all these different heights, you
-
know, candidates were were being just just way
-
laid because they were coming committing... Having inc.
-
They were worshiping demons. They were sacrificed their
-
children and the fires and just burning them,
-
and they were worshiping all these demons and
-
God was getting them out of land.
-
And Guy could do that because it's created
-
the universe. Right? Otherwise, he's just that Evil
-
run a mu. And and when he brings...
-
Comes in, he brings the curse of the
-
law.
-
But he has
-
6 the tribes amount ball, 6 on ga
-
and And the curse are red
-
against those mount Eb ball. Now it be
-
like, why did I have to be on
-
this side, you know? And the blessings to
-
those are in Mount Gu, but it was
-
symbolic. Of God's coming judgment, which is very
-
fascinating.
-
So it's really interesting to me
-
that I'm out Ga,
-
you have Jo. Right
-
warning them about
-
Abi, who you've chosen as a leader.
-
And in Politics. Bible talks about when you
-
install a wicked king. It's shame on you.
-
It's a judgment on the people as well.
-
Right?
-
And it's interesting we read
-
on Joshua chapter 8 versus 30 and 31.
Joshua 8 chapter mention
-
Then Joshua built an altar to the Lord,
-
the God of Israel
-
in Mount Eb
-
just as Moses the servant of the Lord
-
had commanded the sons of Israel
-
as is written in the book of the
-
Law Moses and altar of uncut stones
-
So there'll be rough stones, of which no
-
man had wielded the iron tool. And they
-
offered burnt offerings, offerings the Lord. Animal sacrifice
-
on it to the lord and sacrifice
-
peace offering.
-
Now this is really interesting. Here we see,
-
depiction,
-
of that altar
-
on the top of
-
Mount Eb
-
where the curse
-
were being read
-
and so forth. Now right here, you see
-
a rectangular altar
-
of uncut stones. That's been there It's dated
-
to about 12:50 or more, some have it.
-
Even further back into the time
-
of when that jews came into the promised
-
land.
-
Almost 3500 years ago.
-
And what's interesting
-
is
-
underneath this
-
rectangular stones is an older altar, which is
-
round you know, couple meters round,
-
and they discovered that.
-
And that's considered Joshua was altered. That's believed
-
to Bitty b.
-
Josh was alter,
-
where he... Which he made.
-
And what's interesting is a
-
professor of archaeology a secular you not a
-
believer, you know, a grew up at a
-
Ka boots, you know, the Ka kombucha were,
-
many, many, many jews came from Europe when
-
they're coming to the promised land.
-
In the 19... Early 19 hundreds and later,
-
and they'd go to these Ka kombucha. And
-
Adams or Tal was 1 of these gentlemen.
-
And the K kombucha were almost, like, run
-
like, a Marxist socialist kinda system based on
-
the marches in that came from Europe. Right?
-
So when you go there, you... You'll stay,
-
Sometimes I've stayed at K kombucha.
-
Really fascinating, you know? And a really interesting
-
history,
-
but Adam R tall was a secular archaeologist,
-
it's a professor of archaeology at Hyphen University
-
city.
-
And he grew up at Cabo boots, he
-
fought the independence were.
-
And in 19 48, In fact, he was
-
wounded that war and got a medal of
-
honor and
-
oftentimes was on crutches after that. But it
-
becomes a professor of archaeology, non believer
-
Hai University
-
and guess what happens? He finds
-
this.
-
And digs up the altar under this altar.
-
The circular altar.
-
And he's blown away. Like, what in the
-
world is this.
-
And they giving sketches by an orthodox jews
-
says, this is what the alter altar would
-
look like based on the teachers of the
-
bible.
-
You know, these primitive Israeli alters. He goes,
-
this is that.
-
And then they take the bones
-
that sacrifice were done on the inner altar,
-
and they have them examined,
-
and which is very important because Jews sacrificed
-
different animals than the pagans did. Pagans would
-
sacrifice
-
pigs to their gods.
-
N.
-
There's very specific line of sacrifice that Got.
-
Guess what they found.
-
Israeli sacrifice. Is that only comp with Israeli
-
doctrine as far as what would be sacrificed.
-
So Z tall,
-
didn't drop his spade. He became a lifelong
-
He became a believer in Y.
-
And then he began to use his bible
-
ever since after that, saying the God of
-
that bible is real. This is evidence that
-
my people came into the land.
-
He wrote a book called the nation is
-
born after that. Okay? Adams are tall. You
-
can write his name Adam, ZERTAL
-
and do a little research on him fascinating
-
story is as Adams are tall. So
-
there's... There's this is, like, really cool because
-
when you go to Israel, there's a lot
-
of things you can look at, but this
-
is something... That's just sitting out there. That
-
hasn't been disturbed much, you know?
-
And I love those kinds of things. So
-
that might be a place we can inquire
-
of getting Ted and to watch our deals
-
and hopefully you guys are We love you
-
guys.
-
But maybe we could work that out, brother.
-
We'll see, You know. If you don't wanna
-
go, you don't wanna get shot at, perhaps,
-
you know you just wait at the hotel
-
or go somewhere else swimming that day or
-
something. You know, We may not go there.
-
I probably scared half the group away, But
-
Jesus send out the multitude. So, hey, you
-
know, But we'll see if Lord opens a
-
door, we would do that if it was
-
protection. Or if it's considered safe, you know?
-
But very, very fascinating stuff.
-
And
-
but what's really crazy is a fine that
-
took place in 2019,
-
same year Covid
-
took place.
-
There was a team of archaeologists doing what's
-
called Wet sift 15. That means you're going
-
through material instead of just dry sift. Now
-
you're using water and you're getting a lot
-
of the dirt that the sediment set on...
-
Because we see so much and you go
-
through material that's sift, and now you're wet
-
sift it, and you make greater discoveries. And
-
guess what,
-
they believe many believe they found. It's going
-
through there's there's peer reviewed studies,
-
and writings on this going on in the
-
last few years ever since then.
-
And let's look at this next clip.
-
Go... That's that's the altar from a a
-
more of an aerial view on Mount Eval.
-
There's a secular
-
part. That's a scar by the way from
-
Egypt. You know? Because remember they came from
-
Egypt. Right? They found a couple of these
-
sc.
-
You've see in the top, your top left
-
the more
-
Thing, which is very interesting what they found
-
here because they took things from Egypt. Next
-
went, on next slide.
-
Here you see what's called the cursed tablet.
-
Many believe to be a cursed tablet. You
-
know, some of the doubt are like, no
-
It's it's a weight It's a weight that's
-
used for fishing, which doesn't make sense because
-
the weights that you find for fishing either
-
they have a hole in them, so you
-
could put a string through it or they
-
have a
-
indentation at the end where you can run
-
a string through it. This has neither.
-
And this is your typical
-
appears to be your typical cursed tablet. In
-
fact, those who discovered it, their archaeological leaders
-
were, like, right away they knew when and
-
west, you know, because you see these at
-
times.
-
And to find a cursed tablet in a
-
place where curse were red red would make
-
a lot of sense, you know?
-
And it's interesting as well, why would there
-
be weights for fishing in a area that's
-
so far away from the Jordan and Mediterranean
-
makes no sense as well, You know? It's
-
almost as middle of israel's you can get
-
from those bodies of water. So
-
now, they believe, and this... I'm not gonna
-
say this is for sure, a cursed tablet
-
that was used by... And the curse is...
-
This was what the curse were read from
-
from Joshua. I don't know for sure. So
-
I'm all about a lot of Christmas saying
-
this is for sure, because I'm looking at
-
some of the, you know, what's going on
-
about this and so forth from And I
-
don't know 100 percent, but it's very, very
-
interesting. I'll say that. I do believe we're
-
looking at Joshua alter and so forth. I
-
do it very... It's very possible.
-
This is the cursed tablet, and then they
-
put the cursed tablet and the sacrifices and
-
so forth,
-
and after the curse were red. And they'd
-
have these little tiny cursed tablets.
-
It wasn't just used by the Jews, which
-
is interesting,
-
but it was based on the law. And
-
what's interested about this, which be fascinated than
-
me is you have YHW,
-
not the whole Tetra, but the first letter
-
is YHW,
-
which is a way that Y is sometimes
-
used,
-
and so forth.
-
And they believe it's the paleo, you know,
-
Hebrew. The first time you see the name
-
Y in history. Which is quite interesting because
-
it be coming right out of Egypt into
-
the promised land, which is
-
very close to the dating of of this
-
And this is this is about nowhere where
-
we read that
-
this all took place. So it's all very
-
very
-
fascinating stuff.
-
Now,
-
I don't wanna get too bogged down in
-
this because we will lose this the the
-
just the the main part of the story,
-
but I I love to bring things that
-
that are interesting that tie into the stories
-
that we read and and God's word that
-
I think are really fascinating.
-
Now, oh, by the way, what many of
-
those believe that are looking at the the
-
lettering, which is really hard to read because
-
it's layered. And they actually have to x
-
rays through lead
-
Okay.
-
And now they try to open it up
-
when you look at that bottom 1, the
-
bottom 1 on the bottom. If you look
-
to your right, right? You'll see a little
-
chip off the top part of that because
-
they try to pry it open and it
-
chip. Oh, better not do this. But they're
-
ever be use
-
high tech where able to actually penetrate through
-
and do basically,
-
a
-
basically see through the lead
-
to the writing,
-
but it's really hard to read, and there's
-
different... You know, some have it as you
-
are cursed by the God
-
Y cursed.
-
You will die. Cursed. Cursed, you will surely
-
die. Cursed, You are by y, Cursed
-
and so forth.
-
So very, very fascinating.
-
Anyway, Jo is there on mountain, on the
-
mountain of Gu, right across from that mountain.
-
Right?
-
Almost like, I'm on the out of blessing,
-
you know?
-
And he's yelling it's be natural, you already
-
saw the depiction of those 2 mountains, it'd
-
be like a natural amp peter. That's why
-
I get 2 reasons. I, he wants everybody
-
to hear him. And other reason he... And
-
also he wants to let. Boo. He wants
-
to take off to where they're not gonna
-
capture him.
-
So it's interesting too that
-
a reads this at us, the oak says
-
he reads it. He reads us at the
-
oak. Like, everybody knows what the oak is.
-
Which I think is interesting because when Abraham
-
made his covenant with God, or God made
-
his covenant with Abraham I should say, we
-
read in Genesis 12 6 and 7, when
-
he was in she, The Abraham passed through
-
the land as far as a sight of
-
she
-
to the oak to the oak of Mo.
-
Like, everybody knows is what it is.
-
Now the k night was then in the
-
land,
-
and the Lord appeared to Abraham and said,
-
to your descendants, I will give the lit
-
this land.
-
So he built an altar there to the
-
lord who appeared to him. It's interesting. It's
-
almost as though, Abi is just doing the
-
opposite.
-
Coming against God's people,
-
Going to this oak and declaring himself as
-
the king,
-
you surfing God's authority. Think of the temple
-
mount, And what the muslims have done with
-
the temple mount,
-
you know?
-
Allah is God,
-
and he has no son.
-
That's a lie from the pit of hell.
-
Lot. He represents anything... Well, anyone is Satan.
-
Okay?
-
And has no sign. Yeah. That's what the
-
bible says. It says, he that denies the
-
son is antichrist.
-
And the attic antichrist will sit the temple
-
of god it says show himself that he
-
is God, and he will seek to destroy
-
god's people, which is what Abi at is
-
doing.
-
And he's ex himself. Look at chapter 9
-
verse 14.
-
Finally,
-
all the trees said to the Bra.
-
You come reign over us. Now this is
-
the first basically
-
you know,
-
you have a parable going on here, guys.
-
K? In fact, you know what?
-
I I need to backup. Do you guys
-
have
-
9 8 02:13.
-
Okay. There is up there. He's gonna... Jo
-
gonna he's holler.
-
Listen it up, guys.
-
And he's holler of these guys. And he
-
gives them the first parable you read in
-
the Bible, by the way. Very interesting. The
-
first time you see
-
somebody give a parable in the Bible.
-
That I'm familiar with.
-
Once the trees went forth, he says, to
-
annoy a king over them
-
because these guys want him to be their
-
king.
-
And they said to the olive tree reign
-
over us,
-
but the Olive tree said to them. Shall
-
I leave my fat,
-
with which God and men are honored. And
-
go to wave over the trees,
-
then the tree said to the fig, you
-
come, reign over us, but the fig tree
-
said to them. So shall I lead by
-
sweetness and my good fruit and and and
-
go to wave over the trees,
-
then the tree said to the vine, You
-
come reign over us.
-
But the vine said to them. So I
-
leave my new wine, new wine is fresh
-
vine, the or fresh wine right out of
-
the like fresh welch is grape juice, you
-
know, right out of the vine.
-
Fact, the word Is used here not yay
-
n, which is the typical word for wine,
-
which
-
often refers to this brand new wine.
-
Which cheers god and men and go to
-
wave over the trees.
-
Now,
-
this is a very interesting deal because, look
-
what happens is 09:14.
-
Finally, all the tree said to the Bra,
-
the bra... You know, kind tree of bra
-
for you is.
-
It's that's right. It's thorn bush. It's a
-
Thorn bush. Okay?
-
You come right over us. It's like the
-
last come on. You come right over us,
-
because they really want a king.
-
And their bra or thorn was shed to
-
the trees.
-
If in truth, you are anointed me as
-
king over you come and take refuge in
-
my shade.
-
But if not,
-
may fire come out from the bra and
-
assume the cedar of Lebanon.
-
There was yes. I would love to be
-
a ruler and whoever doesn't want me to
-
rule them. I'm gonna torch them with fire.
-
By the way, how absurd is this picture.
-
Trees wanted the thorn wish to be their
-
king to take refuge under its shade.
-
Thorn bushes are not known much for shade.
-
Okay? They're known for they're really really good
-
to burn in the fire, which is interesting.
-
This storm thorn bush seems to get it
-
in this little parable.
-
Look at chapter 9 verse 16.
-
Now, therefore, if you have dealt in truth
-
and integrity. This is Jonathan. I'm speaking still,
-
in making our Amulet king. And if you
-
have dealt well with Ge All and his
-
house and have dealt with him as he
-
deserved for my father fought for you that's
-
gideon and risked his life and delivered you
-
from the Hanna million.
-
But you have risen against my father's house
-
today and have killed his sons, 70 men
-
on 1 stone And I made out Be,
-
the son of his maids servant,
-
king over the men of She
-
because he is your relative.
-
If then you have dealt in truth and
-
integrity with Ge all in his house this
-
day, rejoice. In a be and let him
-
also re rejoice in you, but if not,
-
let fire come from out from a abi
-
and consume
-
this is interesting, the men of She
-
and Beth
-
and let fire come out from the men
-
of She. And Beth and consume Abi.
-
Then Jonathan escaped and fled. Yeah. You bet.
-
He better take off. And went to beer
-
Yeah. It doesn't mean went drank beer. A
-
place and went to beer and I remain
-
there because Abi, his brother.
-
Now this is interesting. It's Prophetic. He brings
-
forth a curse
-
on the mountains of blessing and cursing.
-
Very fascinating.
-
Then look at chapter 9 verse 22. Now
-
Abi ruled over Israel 3 years
-
is that interesting?
-
How long would the anti antichrist reign will
-
be a long rain or short reign
-
just over 3 years.
-
K? 1290 days,
-
3 and a half years.
-
Then God sent an evil spirit between abi
-
And the men of She.
-
Isn't that interesting. Even though Ben being used
-
by Satan, God is sovereign over at all.
-
You know, even people that are in into
-
demon worship into magic and
-
into witchcraft and so forth. They have to
-
have all kinds of inca indentation and circles
-
and different things they do to protect themselves
-
from the very demons
-
that they're opening themselves up to.
-
And they almost... They think they're diluted. Think,
-
there are some good demons and bad demons
-
or good angels and bad angels that I'm
-
summon when you start summon angels, man, only
-
1 side's listening. It's the demonic side.
-
And the reason you have to do your
-
inca to protect yourself and everything
-
which by the way, isn't protection at all.
-
True protection only comes from Jesus. You gotta
-
bow the knee. Repent of all that stuff
-
to have true protection. But it's because you're
-
being attacked because you're opening yourself to these
-
very forces. And I think it's very interesting
-
that Ob be is gonna be messed with
-
by the very demonic realm that he's tapped
-
into. Through his rebellion because the bible says
-
rebellion is as a in a witchcraft. But
-
look it. Now, a above rolled over Israel
-
3 years, then God sent an Evil spirit
-
between our.
-
And the man of she. And the man
-
of she dealt treacherous without Him leg.
-
Is that interesting.
-
So then the violence done to the 70
-
sons of drew
-
J
-
might come.
-
And their blood might be laid on of
-
him like their brother, who killed them and
-
on the man of She,
-
who strengthen his hands to kill his brothers.
-
So it's interesting these demonic entities are unleashed.
-
Now, Satan has to report to god. You
-
know that. Right? He couldn't even touch Job.
-
Joe he complained
-
to God in heaven because you built a
-
hedge around Joe, but I can't even touch
-
him.
-
And God said he was gonna let the
-
joe the the hedge up for a while,
-
but don't kill him. Okay?
-
And God was a use what statement free
-
2 is good and job bennett been blessed
-
twice as much in the end.
-
Jesus said to
-
Peter, Satan has sought permission
-
to sift you like wheat,
-
but I pray that your faith will not
-
fail.
-
So remember, saying like the prose attorney.
-
We are in a cosmic court right now,
-
guys.
-
There's a forensic aspect to
-
salvation as well. Don't know of any better
-
evidence of that is the fact that when
-
we die, point, man. Once a die, but
-
after this judgment. Amen.
-
K? There's there's more than 1 motif going
-
on when it comes to salvation, but judgment
-
and and being acquitted and so forth through
-
the blood of christ is definitely when we
-
dare not lay aside.
-
But it's interesting because Satan is very active,
-
but he only can only do what God
-
allows him to do.
-
But he'll allow him certain things. Remember King
-
saw when he's under rebellion to God.
-
What did gotta do? He allowed him to
-
be possessed by a demon.
-
Member King Ahab,
-
same deal. King Ahab was rebellion to God
-
God warned him that he was gonna die.
-
And then did you look at the end
-
of Ahab life, he still was in defiance
-
of the Lord.
-
And we read it's interesting.
-
It says behold the Lord has put a
-
lion's spirit in the mouth of Prophets
-
speaking of ahab prophets.
-
Lord has declared disaster
-
concerning you. Isn't this all very interesting.
-
And this means a lot for us as
-
believers
-
because the spiritual realm is very real
-
and god manifests
-
himself today in the world through his church.
-
K?
-
The church isn't d facto the kingdom, but
-
it's part of God's kingdom.
-
And God deals with his people, and when
-
need be humble before the Lord.
-
And we need make sure we're not abi
-
that we seek the lord's will, and we
-
put Jesus first and that he is our
-
king amen.
-
And if someone goes into sexual per conversion
-
in the church and they begin they, I'm
-
just gonna start sleeping with this gal healthcare.
-
If I'm married or not, and I'm gonna,
-
Kid, I could just, you know, have abortion
-
or whatever, or people live about. What happened
-
when the guy was having sex sexual relations
-
with his father's wife? And first, Corinthians 5.
-
What did gotta do? Paul said I delivered
-
him over to who.
-
Satan for the structure of his flesh,
-
that a spirit might be or may be
-
saved in the day of salvation. He'd have
-
to repent.
-
But that's a form of discipline that god
-
brings
-
you can open yourself up as a Christian
-
by turning away from the lord to all
-
kinds of demonic in, you know, attack.
-
In fact, we read of a couple men,
-
Jaime and Ph in sec... In first Timothy
1 Timothy 1 chapter mention
-
chapter 1,
-
who went astra from the truth
-
def defy their conscience
-
and Paul says I've handed them over to
-
Satan that they might learn not to bla.
-
They're teaching false doctrines. They're contradicting the word
-
of God.
-
And yet they open themselves up to demonic
-
attacks Now, as Christian, you will already have
-
some demonic attack. We wrestle restaurant against wet,
-
flesh and blood against and powers.
-
And God will even use in great believers
-
lives
-
some kind of measuring to teach us
-
from the spiritual world to wake us up
-
of our need for Jesus.
-
You see that in
-
the Apostle Paul's life. Remember, there was a
-
messenger from Satan that was beating him up,
-
so he would not be... So he said,
-
so I wanna ex myself. In pride, he
-
didn't, you know, was tried to go before
-
fall and god used that in his life.
-
God uses things in his sovereignty in all
-
of our lives
-
help keep our eyes on Jesus.
-
You say, well, why does God use such
-
extreme? I wish he would use those things
-
Well guess what?
-
The church would just be
-
levin with sin. This is 1 way that
-
he even works in the church is allowing
-
us, what happened in judges over and over
-
again? When they rebelled against the Lord. What
-
do you allow?
-
Their physical enemies to come in. Right?
-
So they went die in the rebellion so
-
they repent and get right with the lord.
-
Amen?
-
Well, he allows that too with our spiritual
-
enemies
-
to invade our lives if we're rebellion to
-
God, so we wake up.
-
I'd rather go through spiritual attack because I'm
-
on the freight lines for Jesus. Right? Yeah.
-
And it's say Enemy trying to stop me.
-
Hey, man. That's good. Then because I'm being
-
chasing by Lord who's giving me a weapon
-
at the woods shed because I'm open myself
-
up to these forces because I'm aligning. How
-
do you mean to open yourself with these
-
forces?
-
Because rebellion is as us in witchcraft, when
-
you start to rebel against the Lord,
-
You start following the father lies.
-
You start deciding with the enemy. And he
-
said he is not with me against me.
-
And the lord will take measuring,
-
measured means to discipline you to span you
-
to bring you back. Well what exactly that
-
what does that look like?
-
Looks comes a lot different ways, and we
-
have time to get into it all because
-
we'd have to lose our story again, but
-
these are important things to learn. I've been
-
at who's serving the enemy
-
is being getting a whoop right now. And
-
god rises
-
allows things commotion and stuff to to wake
-
him up, getting the repent, give him an
-
opportunity.
-
Save his people, but he doesn't really get
-
the message unfortunately.
-
Look at chapter 9, Can we put the
-
next scripture there.
-
Verse 25.
-
We see the men of She,
-
sat in ambush
-
against him.
-
On the tops of the mountains, and they
-
robbed
-
all who might pass by along the road,
-
and it was told up Lick.
-
So now you've got these trade routes that
-
are very important for the success of She,
-
which was a pretty big prosperous at the
-
time being messed with. By abi enemy. And
-
now he's being told this, and then we
-
read in verse 26.
-
Now got all, the son of Eb bed
-
came with his relatives and crossed over into
-
She. And the met She put their trust
-
in him. They went out into the field
-
and gathered the their grapes of the vineyards.
-
And t them and held they festival, and
-
they went into the house of their God
-
and ate and drank and cursed Abi.
-
When you read in revelation, and Daniel, you
-
see that guess what even Antichrist is gonna
-
have some problems in the book of Daniel.
-
First 28, then of all the son of
-
Eb beds said, who is our Be? And
-
who is she him that he should serve
-
that we should serve him?
-
Is he not the son of J, but
-
all remember that's Gideon?
-
And Z, not his lieutenant,
-
serve the men of Hay more and the
-
father of check him,
-
but why should we serve him
-
Well therefore, that this people were under my
-
authority that I would remove Abi,
-
and he said to Abi, increase your army
-
and come out. He challenge him. To war.
-
Okay? It's time of harvest, you know, they're
-
then they're letting the the grapes, you know,
-
become, you know, fermented, then they're getting drunk,
-
and they're partying and like, we'll challenge our
-
Am, you know? And guess what? The the
-
battles on, you know,
-
look chapter 9 verse 30.
-
When X, the ruler of the city heard
-
the words of all the son of Eb,
-
his anger burned.
-
He said messengers Abi elect to saying,
-
behold all, the son of eb ebay and
-
his relatives have come to check them and
-
behold, they are stirring up the city against
-
you. Now therefore rise by night you and
-
your... The people who are with you and
-
lie weight for in the field
-
in the morning as soon as the sun
-
is up, you shall rise early and rush
-
upon the city and behold. When he and
-
the people,
-
who are with him come out against you.
-
You shall do to them whatever you can.
-
So trying to bring him into this this
-
war and his life and Abi
-
reign ultimately,
-
judges chapter 9 verse 34,
-
So Abi, and all the people who are
-
with him arose by night and lay in
-
wait against she them in 4 companies. It's
-
interesting.
-
This was the same thing his dad, getting
-
hit done
-
with great success. If you go back and
-
read that story. Too bad at fall gideon
-
the highlights of his life that were good,
-
and not just this just as part of
-
it. Now go all, the son of Eb
-
bed went out and stood in the entrance
-
of the city gate, and Abi and the
-
people who are with him arose from the
-
ambush.
-
When go all saw the people he said
-
his X look, people are coming from the
-
tops of the mountains, but X said to
-
him.
-
You are seeing the shadow of the mountains
-
as if they were men. All spoke again
-
and said, no. He's like, behold, people are
-
coming down from the highest part of the
-
land. And what company comes by the way
-
of the divine oak?
-
When X said to him, where is your
-
boasting then? I'm sorry. X said, and where
-
is your boasting now? With which you said,
-
who is our and, that we should serve
-
him? Is this not the people whom you
-
despise? Go out now fight that fight with
-
him. So guy all went out before the
-
leaders of She and fought with Abi. Abi
-
chased him and he fled before him and
-
many fell wounded up to the entrance of
-
the gate. Then up remained at,
-
Irma,
-
and X
-
drove out to go and is relatives so
-
that they could not remain in check them.
-
K. There's not any really good guys in
-
this particular battle. K? They're all just wicked
-
guys. Right? It's just cut again off like
-
politics,
-
today, not that you don't... Not that there's
-
not those with better plans and others that
-
would help the country other than no. That's
-
for sure. So put your trust in men.
-
Chapter 9 verse 42.
-
Now came about the next day when the
-
people went out to the field,
-
and it was told to Abi.
-
So we took his people and divided them
-
into 3 companies,
-
k? And lay in wait in the field.
-
Sounds familiar. Right? And when he looked and
-
saw the people coming out from the city,
-
arose against them and slew them.
-
Now watch this? Then Abi,
-
and the company who was with him dashed
-
forward and stood in the entrance of the
-
city gate.
-
The other 2 companies then dashed against all
-
who were in the field and slew them.
-
I've been fought against them city all that
-
day. And captured the city and killed the
-
people. This guy's is brutal, who were in
-
it, then he raised the city and sow
-
it with salt. And that was their way
-
of, like, just cursing, you know, spinning salt.
-
Throughout the land, it was a statement and
-
so forth about this land not be productive.
-
And then we read in chapter 9 verse
-
46,
-
when all the leaders of the tower. Now
-
this is interesting. When all the leaders of
-
the tower of She heard it, they entered
-
the inner chamber of the temple of El.
-
And it was told the Be that all
-
the leaders of of the tower of She
-
were gathered together. So Abi Be went up
-
to the mount of Za
-
Za, and he and the people were with
-
him. And Abi took an axe in his
-
hand and cut down a branch from the
-
trees
-
and lifted it and laid it on his
-
shoulder,
-
then he said to the people who are
-
with him, what you have seen me do
-
hurry and do likewise.
-
So these men check the people the men
-
and women that are left and she them.
-
They're some that are left,
-
they fled to this tower. And the ancient
-
times they'd have these strong towers that were,
-
like, last line of defense.
-
You know, the castle down, you know, or
-
whatever, you know, everything's down, except, do you
-
go to this tower, which was fortified
-
and you could go into the tower. You
-
shut the gates behind. You can go up
-
to the top of the tower.
-
And hopefully,
-
be safe because there were resources that you
-
could use at the top of the tower
-
to try to defeat the enemies. But if
-
your enemies would overwhelm, you could be in
-
trouble, but it was still close, you could
-
maybe whip them. Because you've got the tower
-
they don't.
-
Well, he goes all as man. It cuts
-
a big old. This is a very beautiful
-
area. Right? There's all kinds of, you know,
-
trees and everything else that's why Lord brought
-
the promised then they were tripping out. He
-
cuts a branch and lays on his back.
-
It says do that likewise, basically,
-
which is really interesting to me.
-
Because he's a wicked man,
-
and he wants to burn him down, wipe
-
him out, kill him.
-
And it's the opposite of what Jesus did.
-
Jesus took wood and laid on his back.
-
Amen.
-
He caused us to take up our cross
-
to follow him, amen. But Jesus did that
-
to bring life, not death. Amen. In fact
-
when Jews explained what love was, he talked
-
about the Good samaritan and what he did.
-
And he looked at the people. And he
-
said, this is what the good samaritan did
-
he says do that likewise.
-
This is like a reverse of all that,
-
You know? A Satan's Satan's deal. It's all
-
about self ambition ex yourself above others wanted
-
to be worship and and and
-
the lord's
-
not in the plan at all.
-
Judges chapter 9 verse 49.
-
All the people who cut down each 1
-
of his branch and follow Be
-
and put them on the inner chamber and
-
set the inner chamber on fire.
-
Member,
-
Jo
-
prophetic curse
-
regarding the bra bush, what would come out
-
from it and the the story that don't...
-
He's destroying his own people.
-
With fire.
-
Memories from shotgun. Do you remember that Right?
-
So this guy's really wicked,
-
and they they sent the chamber on fire
-
over those inside. So that all the men
-
of the tower of She also died, about
-
a thousand men and women.
-
Wow, this is just crazy.
-
And,
-
you know,
-
do you think there's a lot of people
-
today in power that just have heart full
-
love that wanna bless you and save the
-
children and and, you know, fight abortion and...
-
Well, there's some of that do.
-
But there's a lot of people in power
-
that And I always warning you as believers.
-
When you elect officials
-
that can kill the most innocent among us,
-
babies.
-
It's gonna be really easy to kill christians
-
who annoy them because they remind them of
-
those things is being wrong.
-
This is all being a setup right now
-
as we talk for the ultimate antichrist, who's
-
called the man of Sin, the man of
-
Law, Son tradition.
-
Chapter 09:50,
-
and we're getting to the end of here.
-
Then Abi
-
I went to the beds. This is another
-
city now. And this this city has a
-
lot of Jews in it. K? A lot
-
of Israelis here that have come in into
-
the Promised.
-
And I'll been, like, went to the beds
-
and he kept against f beds. He has
-
wants to just continue to spread his power
-
and captured it. And there was a strong
-
tower. Oh, there's another strong tower.
-
Right?
-
In the center of the city, and all
-
the men and the women, all the leaders
-
of the city fled there and shut themselves
-
in and they went up on the roof
-
of the tower. So they shut themselves in,
-
then they go to the roof. They climb
-
up to the roof of the tower, up
-
in the heavens.
-
So Abi
-
came to the tower and fought against it,
-
and I love this guys. Best part of
-
the story 1 of the best anyways and
-
approached the entrance of the tower to burn
-
it with fire.
-
Looking at verse 53, But a certain woman
-
through an upper mills on a Be head,
-
crushing his
-
skull.
-
Dude that guy got an na... You ever
-
had an already headache. This is like worse
-
than that. Okay. Just crush his
-
skull.
-
And I thought it's interesting because what goes
-
around comes around go, you know, and so
-
forth, that whole saying is actually biblical. You
-
reap what you sow. He's reaping what he
-
sow.
-
Where was he taking off their heads
-
on the top of a wet?
-
A stone. Hey amen.
-
And now he's crushed with a stone.
-
And it's interesting. I was reading a story
-
a couple weeks ago when I was really
-
focused on this story. I'm like, well, that's
-
crazy. If we go to the next slide,
-
you'll see a Tony cakes there. K? You
-
won't see his head attached to him. K?
-
Well, the next slide,
-
as well. There he is. Tony Cakes, the
-
dessert man, he was a mafia
-
mafia. So from the G family,
-
1 of the 4 or 5 wet crime
-
families in new York. And
-
that dude,
-
was a captain for the mafia in and
-
out of prison,
-
but he called Tony Cakes that was his
-
nickname because, you know, a lot of these
-
guys they have front, you know, he's had
-
dessert. Known for desserts and stuff. You know?
-
I don't know if that was a front
-
organization because he's in out of jail. And
-
it's interesting. He was walking across the street.
-
I say something wrong?
-
Oh, I'm standing for the picture.
-
Okay. There's Tony Cakes. I'm sorry. My wife
-
was, like, Like, like, my zipper down or
-
something. I'm like, what's wrong. You know. Like,
-
you.
-
That says she's pointing over here. Okay. Good.
-
I'm like, okay.
-
Almost got, you, embarrassed there, you know.
-
But Tony cakes, you know, and he just
-
dies.
-
And I can't believe you leave at this
-
part of the message, Mark. Anyway, probably gotta
-
go the bathroom. Okay. Because he's got... He's
-
got a text. Okay.
-
Anyway,
-
crazy.
-
Because this guy's 86 years old.
-
And
-
1 of the... And his head was taken
-
off.
-
D in the accident. I mean, what's the
-
odds of that? You know? I'm not gonna
-
show you that part. But and but it's
-
crazy.
-
Because they interviewed 1 of the officers at
-
the scene, He what he said, he's like,
-
this man spent all his life looking behind
-
him, looking turning behind his shoulder.
-
Because of what he'd done in the mafia
-
perhaps and
-
but then... But he forgot to look both
-
ways before he crossed the street.
-
That's fascinating.
-
Another officer said he'll never get ahead in
-
life again. You know? No. No. He didn't
-
say that. I made that 1
-
That's a that's a bad joke, You know?
-
But that we could use that of abi.
-
Right? He loo literally leaves just
-
ted crushed in. And it's interesting.
-
You rep fight you so. This guy 86
-
years old. I've skate. I got away with
-
everything. Bam. His heads chopped off in an
-
accident, You know?
-
What goes around,
-
comes around,
-
look at versus
-
verse 55 54 and 55.
-
Then he called quickly to the young man
-
and his armor bearer and said to him,
-
this sa, not Tony Cakes. Draw your sword
-
and kill me. So that it will not
-
be said of me a woman slew him,
-
so the young man pierced him through and
-
he died.
-
When the men of israel saw
-
Was dead each departed
-
to his home. Isn't this interesting.
-
Kill me. So that's what he's worried about.
-
That concerned I... On his dying bed. I
-
killed thousands or or who knows how many
-
innocent people got have mercy on me.
-
He's concerned about his own name.
-
And I don't want people know women killed
-
me too late. We know right now.
-
3000 years later or whatever been. You know,
-
And we're All talking about it still.
-
You know, God ran. This kind of trip
-
when you think about the irony All... There's
-
so much irony here. You know? And
-
verse
-
56.
-
Thus God repaid the wicked A.
-
Which he had done
-
to his father in killing the 70 brothers.
-
He got it back, came back to him.
-
Verse 57, although God returned all the wicked
-
of the men of She on their head,
-
see it came back to them. And the
-
curse of Jo, the son of Dr ab
-
ba, came upon them.
-
This guy is such a picture of the
-
antichrist House so, his short reign of just
-
a few years.
-
He ex himself, And Cr ex himself. He
-
destroys his own people, even the horror Babylon
-
will be destroyed by the 10 kings that
-
give their power to the beast He goes
-
after God's people,
-
his people go up just before the very
-
end.
-
And when Chris, when the Antichrist seems like
-
he's just gonna win at the end.
-
Will be caught meet the lord of the
-
air at the end of the tribulation period
-
amen.
-
And guess what? It's kind of a trip
-
when you think about it.
-
He's destroyed by a wet.
-
A stone.
-
Amen.
-
Jesus in in Daniel chapter 2. He destroys
Daniel 2 chapter mention
-
this image to picture the beast in its
-
kingdoms
-
in succession and a stone uncut with hands
-
comp and destroys that image.
-
From the heavens, by the way. This stone
-
comes from the heavens.
-
Oh, by the way, another interesting parallel, Why
-
a woman there's a trip. She's got a
-
mills, a better shot than Caitlyn Clark, man.
-
Bam. You know boom, you know? And it's
-
a trip because when you think about it.
-
Like,
-
why did god do that? I believe there's
-
more than 1 reason, but I believe 1
-
reason is the stone comes through the women.
-
Jesus in Genesis chapter 3 verse 16 17
-
were told that the Messiah would crush head
-
of the the head bad of the serpent.
-
Right?
-
Through the woman. Hey, amen. Then you go
-
to, you know, Isaiah 7 and 9, you
-
can go to
-
through Mary and go through revelation 12, the
-
woman Israel. God brings the man child, and
-
he destroys the dragon. It's all there, guys.
-
These pictures are just filled with God's truth.
-
And when you have eyes to see, you're
-
like, wow. This is so robust, so powerful,
-
so amazing.
-
But you know what?
-
Guys,
-
there'll be a final judgment.
-
Right?
-
And when need be ready, but here's some
-
quick applications to keep in mind.
-
God uses a week to shame the wise.
-
He used a weak woman,
-
and he used her as a mighty warrior.
-
And brother and sisters, we are weak without
-
the Lord.
-
But Paul said when we're weak he is
-
strong, Amen. And when you're strong in him,
-
you become a mighty warrior for Jesus, amen.
-
That the Lord use you. Amen.
-
B, god gives grace the humble,
-
but judgment or he resists the crowd.
-
Look what happened to
-
Abi.
-
See, you reap what you so, Amen.
-
Galatians chapter 6 verse 7.
-
To be not deceived. God is not mocked.
-
He that sow the flesh from the flesh
-
reap what
-
destruction. But if you're shown to the flesh
-
living for your flesh and to reap destruction,
-
but he so the spirit from the spirit,
-
reap, eternal life d.
-
Don't be overly ambitious, but wait on the
-
lord.
-
Jesus said in Matthew 23 12, whoever ex
-
himself will be humbled and whoever humble himself
-
will be exalted.
-
Psalm 75 versus 05:57
-
says that
-
promotion or ex. Doesn't come from the east
-
of the west or from the south of
-
the desert, but it comes from the Lord.
-
Amen.
-
E,
-
God's judgment is not asleep.
-
Ask.
-
No don't ask him because not supposed to
-
talk to the dead. But Tony Cakes. Okay?
-
Abi.
-
His judgment comes. Long fellow once said the
-
mills of god's justice turned slowly.
-
But eventually, they ground with to to refine
-
powder. God's judgement. Judgment and others will be
-
ex. They grind slowly that they grind seal
-
fine. He said.
-
Brothers and sisters,
-
g or f
-
I'll say is
-
pray
-
for those who are leading us, same amen.
-
Pray for the leaders of our countries that
-
they fear God.
-
Amen, that they serve God. Pray that God
-
will saw leadership that does fear him and
-
love him, Amen, but recognize openly, we only
-
serve Jesus. Amen. And those who align with
-
him. And we only... And we obey Laws
-
land and when the laws land contradict the
-
Law of God, we obey god's word way
-
above the La land. Amen?
-
And lastly G,
-
Proverbs 18 10.
-
The name of the lord is a strong
-
tower.
-
The righteous want run into it and they
-
are safe. Amen,
-
run to Jesus.
-
The name of the lord is a strong
-
tower the tower represents Jesus. Amen. He's our
-
strong tower. Have you run to Jesus yet?
-
Because outside of the strong tower, you will
-
be consumed
-
by the fire.
-
But their safety in Jesus. And when you
-
come to Jesus, guess what. Your name is
-
written in heaven, you are in heavenly places
-
amen, You are the bride of Christ. You're
-
1 with the bride, the woman so to
-
speak. You're the the the bride of the
-
Lord, Amen, and we'll come back 1 day.
-
Those who've died in Christ will come back.
-
We'll meet them in the era on their
-
way down to defeat the Antichrist in his
-
kingdom.
-
It's all beautiful powerful for you with me
-
tonight or today. It's not nighttime yet. It's
-
almost nighttime.
-
I know as long as it's like, 57
-
verses, plus we looked at a little bit
-
chapter 8, you know, but we got through
-
it. You know? And I was happy that
-
we did.
-
Guess what. If you're in the strong tower,
-
if you're are in Christ,
-
The Bible says for those who are in
-
Christ. If you're in Jesus, either height nor
-
depth or principal or power, and no other
-
created thing is separate you for the love
-
of god, which is the christ Jesus, including
-
Satan. Including the out antichrist. Your safety is
-
in Jesus. Make sure you are putting your
-
trust in him. No 1 separates with love
-
God which is in Christ Jesus, make sure
-
you're in him through faith. Amen.
-
And you're trusting him and just abide in
-
him. Stay in Jesus. Amen.
-
Praise God what awesome God. We. Can we
-
all please stand?
