  1. If you've got your bible with you turn

  2. to the book of judges,

  3. judges,

  4. and you wanna go to chapter 9, although

  5. the first a couple verse will probably read

  6. we'll be in judges 8. So judges 8

  7. and 9.

  8. And we're gonna be looking at a very,

  9. very interesting story. They're so... I hope you're

  10. reading your bibles.

  11. I hope you're a student of the word,

  12. hope you're men and women of the word.

  13. And I hope you're getting in and diving

  14. into the old testament because

  15. the old testament stories are actual events that

  16. have taken place that are historical events that

  17. god moves sovereign in and he creates all

  18. these pictures. He gives us flesh and blood

  19. pictures that he puts upon biblical concepts and

  20. and truths where we see these things worked

  21. out. In the affairs of men and women,

  22. and we see how God is exalted and

  23. how we're to follow him and how we're

  24. to also be aware of the perceptions that

  25. are just mass.

  26. So when you go, I wanna look at

  27. abi,

  28. a very wicked king,

  29. a very wicked king. In fact, we always

  30. think of king saw as being the first

  31. king of Israel. If I asked you a

  32. bible trivia question. I said, who was the

  33. first King of Israel, you would say King

  34. saul, of course. But guess what? You might

  35. be a little bit wrong. Because I've been

  36. elected. In the time of judges, usually when

  37. you read the book of judges, you're reading

  38. about different judges. Right? Yet this guy actually

  39. pops up as a king

  40. over Israel,

  41. Yet, you'd still be right because Saul was

  42. the first God ordained king of Israel.

  43. Ben was an impostor an is who set

  44. himself up over god's people

  45. as king.

  46. And it's very, very fascinating this story

  47. And

  48. I did a message in Mexico

  49. about the name of the Lord and the

  50. mighty power of the name of Jesus.

  51. And I thought about preaching that message when

  52. I came back on a Sunday. And part

  53. of it was about our abi, but a

  54. Was probably 5 or 10 minutes of my

  55. message.

  56. And I thought, no. I'm not gonna preach

  57. that message. I'll preach that message another time.

  58. I was excited about that message. I love

  59. that message because it's just the power that's

  60. in Jesus name that we have, and I'll

  61. that another time. But I didn't get much

  62. into a bim. And I thought, you know

  63. what? I really wanna say a lot more

  64. about a when I was in Mexico,

  65. but y'all I only had an hour.

  66. And then Jonathan was in a preached for

  67. an hour. But when you only have an

  68. hour in your In Mexico and you don't

  69. speak,

  70. Spanish, You only have half an hour. Because

  71. you have the translator.

  72. So I said, Abi is gonna have to

  73. wait.

  74. So... And then I just strengthened that my...

  75. What I wanna teach about, Abi, And the

  76. name of this message is Abi

  77. and the coming antichrist.

  78. There are many many pictures of Jesus throughout

  79. the old testament

  80. types, you know, whether it's sacrifices

  81. in the temple, the Tab, whether it's a

  82. tab tab or the temple itself. Amen. And

  83. may various

  84. all the way back from you know, melchizedek

  85. and and so forth,

  86. wonderful pictures of Jesus.

  87. Types David is a picture of Jesus who's

  88. the son of David. But there's also these

  89. pictures or typo technologies of the antichrist that

  90. God's

  91. allowed to come forth and sovereign worked in

  92. the midst of the affairs of man to

  93. draw these pictures. Goliath is an incredible picture

  94. of the antichrist. I did a message

  95. some time ago. On a major treat, I

  96. also did a message here, a couple years

  97. back. I think it was showing that Goliath

  98. has a picture of the antichrist. Who could

  99. make war with him. Right? I raised freaked

  100. out. But David,

  101. made war with him amen,

  102. and he was hit with a rock in

  103. the head. Right?

  104. Now even the rock is a picture of

  105. Jesus, he's cut out with the hands that

  106. destroys the image. Right, of Ne Can,

  107. and and the beast kingdoms in the end,

  108. you know?

  109. And his brother, you know, 1 of his

  110. brothers had 6 fingers in 6 toes.

  111. You know, 6... And I show 666

  112. in

  113. relationship to,

  114. goliath himself and and how he's defeated. And

  115. no 1 can make work with him. And

  116. he basically, you know, attached to the demon

  117. gods. Well, Abi is another picture of the

  118. antichrist that's coming. And it's interesting because we're

  119. living in incredible times right now.

  120. And the times of the judges were much

  121. like they are today.

  122. It says there was no king in Israel.

  123. Right?

  124. Everybody did what was right in their own

  125. eyes. You basically had a anarchy kinda

  126. situation, do what that. Well... And they god

  127. would appoint judges. Right?

  128. And bring the people repentance and give them

  129. some leadership

  130. before, eventually, there would be God's stalled king,

  131. and that's a whole another story.

  132. And people clam for king and then God

  133. gave him a king and then that king

  134. ended becoming evil and then he gave another

  135. king after his own heart named David.

  136. But this guy is installing himself as king

  137. in the midst of the judges.

  138. We live in a day in age where

  139. people are doing what's right in their own

  140. eyes as well.

  141. And right now, there's people clamoring for political

  142. power.

  143. Here in the United States we live in

  144. a democratic republic.

  145. A lot of people talk about democracy, but

  146. we forget it's a democratic republic. It's supposed

  147. to be representative government. Right? That's supposed to

  148. stand for some certain moral things. Right? That

  149. supposed to be reflect, righteousness and the morality

  150. that you see in the scripture, I'm not

  151. saying where a Christian government. I mean, when

  152. you take out your your your your dollar

  153. balance says in God, we trust how many

  154. of us believe that that's true of our

  155. country.

  156. It's not at all, not by long shot.

  157. And these 3

  158. you know,

  159. branch the government are supposed to keep each

  160. other accountable,

  161. but that's not really happening so much now

  162. is it. You know? It's actually pretty sad

  163. what's taking place.

  164. And

  165. I know what biden is really biting up

  166. to Trump right now and he's so heartbroken,

  167. you know, what happened,

  168. you know, and everything and and it seems

  169. like All love each other, but there's a

  170. lot of ugliness in politics.

  171. On on both sides the aisle, by the

  172. way, you know?

  173. And I I praise God because,

  174. we've been emphasizing over the last couple years

  175. praying for your leaders more. And I say

  176. emphasizing, I mean, emphasizing more than I had.

  177. In the first several years of my password

  178. because I would look like, you,

  179. Bill Clinton and then Like, oh, So hard

  180. to pray for not that I pray for

  181. them, but I thought I need to encourage

  182. prayer for these guys more. You know? And

  183. I'm glad Steve did that in regard to

  184. the leadership that we have now. But I'm

  185. also praying for a new leadership.

  186. Well,

  187. we pray for new leadership, but the Bible

  188. said it's gonna be worse. Yeah. But could

  189. you imagine how much worse it would be

  190. if you didn't pray.

  191. Think about that. And by the way new

  192. leadership is ultimately coming.

  193. Thy kingdom come, I will be dead amen.

  194. He will still his son and saw his

  195. son on the holy hill. Amen.

  196. So my vote is always king Jesus ultimately.

  197. Amen.

  198. So as we look at this,

  199. and we look at this king,

  200. it's important to understand the judge that preceded

  201. him

  202. a judge that preceded this king of

  203. Was a man by the name of Gideon.

  204. Gideon was

  205. a judge, not a king, but he was

  206. an awesome judge.

  207. He has some moral failures afterwards too, and

  208. it was actually his story is actually quite

  209. sad.

  210. And we reached something very interesting about him

  211. when they wanted to make him king

  212. And we read that in judges 8 before

  213. we get to judge's 9 and look at

  214. judges 8 verse 22.

    Judges 8:22

  215. Judges have to 8 verse 22. It's up

  216. on the big screen as well. If you

  217. don't have a phone or you wanna look

  218. at the screen.

  219. It says, then the men of Israel said

  220. to Gideon,

  221. rule over us.

  222. Both you and your son and your son's

  223. son

  224. for you have delivered us from the hand

  225. of of mit.

  226. And what the battle that was. Right? If

  227. you remember that battle,

  228. when he overcame the nights. But Gideon had

  229. said to them, I will not rule over

  230. you.

  231. Nor shall my son rule over you. The

  232. lord shall rule over you.

  233. Now that is all precious because he's saying,

  234. hey, God's is not appointing me as king.

  235. God put me as judge.

  236. But you want me to have a dynasty

  237. where I rule as your king and then

  238. my sons and my, you know,

  239. his son and my grandson and so forth,

  240. He goes, that's not where it's gonna be.

  241. The Lord is going to rule over you.

  242. The problem is is as you know, if

  243. you read the book of judges why you

  244. find over and over again? They're doing what's

  245. right in their own eyes. God brings them

  246. repentance. A oftentimes that happens by God allowing

  247. their enemies to attack them, and they go

  248. into slavery and they cry to God. And

  249. god delivers him from that slavery

  250. because they repent, and then he bless them

  251. and they have some prosperity and and then

  252. they

  253. take the ease again and they began to

  254. look to the idol or the pagan practices

  255. and sexual sin and they go back into

  256. the wicked.

  257. And they go into slavery all over again.

  258. It's just repeated. Rinse, wash, get dirty, you

  259. know, so forth. Over and over again. Well,

  260. Gideon recognizes he doesn't want step out of

  261. what God is doing.

  262. The crazy thing is though is,

  263. even though Gideon said he didn't want become

  264. a king.

  265. He begins to live like a kingdom though.

  266. He becomes incredibly lavish and in the way

  267. he begins to dress, and he takes a

  268. bunch of wives con beans and so forth.

  269. And he begins to live like a king.

  270. And it's not sending the the best message,

  271. and then we go to judges chapter 9

    Judges 9 chapter mention

  272. versus 1 and 2.

  273. And I be, the son of Ge A,

  274. Say J or Ge A.

  275. Connected to the word ball, by all or

  276. ball or bail or the false God.

  277. And by the way, whenever you see Jeremiah

  278. all now,

  279. it's talk about Gideon.

  280. Getting... This is his name that they're calling

  281. him.

  282. It's a pagan name. And

  283. there... You'll see him call that throughout this

  284. chapter.

  285. And Abi, the son of J A

  286. went to she.

  287. To his mother's relatives

  288. and a lot of

  289. can nights. Because remember they had just come

  290. in the land, not too long before this.

  291. There's a lot of cane nights in the

  292. land.

  293. He he went to his mother's relatives.

  294. And this is 1 of the sons of

  295. Gideon or Ge Ball.

  296. And spoke to them and to the whole

  297. clan of the household his mother's father saying.

  298. Speak now

  299. the hearing of all the leaders of She.

  300. Which is better for you that 70 men,

  301. all the sons of J all rule over

  302. you or that 1 man rollover over you.

  303. Also remember that I am your bone I

  304. am your bone and your flesh.

  305. Now keep in mind, as I mentioned, Gideon

  306. or J ball had many, many

  307. children. Many sons.

  308. And 1 of them is here from She.

  309. And he's saying, hey, do you want me

  310. to rule over you? Because he was born

  311. from a?

  312. Now, c binds were cons that were not

  313. necessarily

  314. having the official status as a wife, but

  315. leaders and

  316. chief tin and kings would often take them

  317. in times of war as part of their

  318. spoil, and they have them as

  319. as they're

  320. basically almost like wives, but they typically wouldn't

  321. live with the king or they wouldn't live,

  322. you know, with the chief 10, they would

  323. live in their, you know, their family's house,

  324. but at the same time Bar children. You

  325. know? This was not the way the Lord,

  326. Lord took said let 2. Right? Become 1

  327. flash. Right? And God said, when he gave

  328. a law, not for for the king's not

  329. to multiply to yourselves wives. That's his warning.

  330. Now here,

  331. this is part of Gideon his mistake,

  332. and he has a wife

  333. or a will call from she

  334. And the Shu, you know, Abi says, hey,

  335. guys. He's rallying for political power.

  336. He wants to rule over these guys.

  337. And he says, hey, do you want, you

  338. know, those his half brothers really?

  339. Do you want them to rule over you?

  340. There's no evidence by the way we don't

  341. say anything in the text There's no evidence

  342. that the 70 brothers were seeking to rule

  343. over She.

  344. But he puts a scare tactic out there.

  345. Hey. Why don't you set me up as

  346. your king? Because I'm 1 of your relatives,

  347. you know? It's a political

  348. maneuver.

  349. So it's quite interesting

  350. what we are seeing here.

  351. And in chapter 9 verse 3, we read

  352. this. And his mother's relatives spoke all these

  353. words

  354. on his behalf.

  355. And in the hearing of all the leaders

  356. of She, and they were inclined to follow

  357. For they said, he is our relative.

  358. Now, She was a very, very, very fascinating

  359. place

  360. because She

  361. was a place where Abraham went to an

  362. oak tree and made a covenant, and that's

  363. where God reveals himself.

  364. To Abraham,

  365. by showing him, and this is in Genesis

    Genesis 12 chapter mention

  366. chapter 12, showing him the, all the land

  367. of Israel.

  368. As far as you could see telling him

  369. that he he would possess this land.

  370. Atlantic.

  371. Now that wouldn't come for over 400 years.

  372. Right?

  373. But he's saying I'm gonna give you this

  374. land, which the land flowing with milk and

  375. honey the promised then. Which he he did.

  376. So this is where Abraham was promised.

  377. The land. It's also interesting because this is

  378. a place she them where his grandson Jacob,

  379. Dug a well

  380. to the lord,

  381. and

  382. bless the lord there.

  383. And worship him there.

  384. Fact is interesting.

  385. It's there. That's the center of what is

  386. now known as, and would later be known

  387. as Sam.

  388. Remember the woman at the well.

  389. The woman at the well in Sami mary,

  390. you can still go to that well.

  391. It's hard to get in place and have

  392. safety in some of the areas of Sam

  393. area, modern sam area, but, that well exists

  394. today.

  395. A she is also where Joseph was

  396. bones were buried.

  397. Remember, after Abraham,

  398. you know, they went into captivity,

  399. Jacob's 12 sons. Right?

  400. It wasn't captivity yet because God used Joseph

  401. to set

  402. to to feed the world,

  403. and his peep... His his brothers came over

  404. to Egypt to remember that. And they dropped

  405. there in safety, even they were blessed for

  406. some time, but a fe rose that forgot

  407. them, and then they became enslaved, and then

  408. you have the exodus and the red sea.

  409. And then coming back into the

  410. coming into the promise that god had promised

  411. them, but God brought the bones

  412. of Joseph

  413. through his people, the his israelites out of

  414. Egypt.

  415. Picture of the resurrection, by the way, out

  416. of death and brought them into the promised.

  417. And it was here in She

  418. where they were buried. Very fascinating,

  419. history,

  420. She

  421. has. I hope on our Israel trip, we

  422. can go to she them

  423. to a specific place, which you'll see pictures

  424. of.

  425. It's kinda hard to get there. Here you

  426. might need armored piercing scene

  427. you know, bus, you know, that's not armour

  428. pierced.

  429. You might need a military escort, but we'll

  430. see because I think it would be worth

  431. going to. You know? Hey, if the president

  432. can get shot through the ear, we could...

  433. What can we could do all kinds of

  434. things for Jesus amen.

  435. So, not that Lord's calling you to do

  436. that necessarily.

  437. Well, If I'm gonna die. I wanna be

  438. witnessing, hey, when we go to israel, we

  439. go witnessing. Okay?

  440. Alright. So it's interesting. All this is very

  441. fascinating.

  442. And this is Where Jason encountered the woman

  443. with the well as well. Chapter 9 verse

  444. 4. They gave him 70 pieces of silver.

  445. That is the those who rallied around

  446. Abi

  447. from the house of Be all Be or

  448. Be,

  449. with which Abi hired worthless and reckless fellows

  450. And they followed him.

  451. Sounds like a,

  452. you know,

  453. a presidential cabinet or something, you know, today,

  454. maybe perhaps, I don't know. Just kind of

  455. people that rally around politics.

  456. You know, who was that? I forget the

  457. the statesman that said, as soon as somebody

  458. aspire for politics.

  459. They begin to rot from within, You know,

  460. something like that. Now I believe that's always

  461. true. I believe there's states and people that

  462. are noble but they're far between it's... Hard

  463. to climb that ladder. Hence the reason for

  464. needing to pray. Amen, and crying out to

  465. god. But it's interesting He has his hen

  466. surround him to do his murderous bidding, then

  467. chapter 9 verse 5. Then he went to

  468. his father's house

  469. at Oprah

  470. He know he knew Oprah wind? No. And

  471. it's not the same.

  472. At Oprah and killed his brothers.

  473. The sons of Dr. This guy's

  474. J A or dr.

  475. However do you wanna pronounce it?

  476. 70 men. He kills 70 men on what.

  477. 1

  478. stone.

  479. So he lifts the sword and just hacks

  480. their head off. But Joe Jo, the youngest

  481. son Rub bell,

  482. was left was left

  483. before he went,

  484. hit himself.

  485. This young son man, he hides himself.

  486. K. He's like a remnant who lives? By

  487. the way, what's the antichrist going to do?

  488. How is it gonna kill his enemies.

  489. He's gotta be head them?

  490. That interesting.

  491. This guy is doing mass of his enemies.

  492. Sick talks about everyone who doesn't take 666

  493. of mark The beast will be beheaded.

  494. Okay? This isn't... The stuff's not here by

  495. accident guys.

  496. And by the way, look at first 5

  497. now,

  498. then he went to his father's house and

  499. we we just looked at that, but has

  500. these guys, but Jo escapes.

  501. Jo name is interesting. It means Ja way

  502. is perfect.

  503. Y is perfect.

  504. And it's interesting, they reject the other sons

  505. of Gideon,

  506. including Y is perfect. I think that's interesting.

  507. It's just remember they wanted Jesus to be

  508. crucified, and they wanted, you know, bar bra

  509. to be set free.

  510. And Jo who I believe the picture of

  511. the remnant and Y perfect represents the perfect

  512. God.

  513. And the 70... You tries to put 70

  514. people to death

  515. Seventies is a very interesting number in the

  516. bible.

  517. It's a number like 7 of perfection. How

  518. many times she'll forgive my brother. Jesus up

  519. to 7 times says, Peter. Not up to

  520. 7 times Peter, but what

  521. 70

  522. times 7.

  523. Moses appointed 70 elders to help him enroll

  524. israel.

  525. You see that number come up a lot.

  526. In fact, I looked at more than that.

  527. I thought, I'm not gonna use all these

  528. It'll be too exhausted, but just to give

  529. you an understanding,

  530. this guy is

  531. contrary to God's law,

  532. ex himself and rejecting

  533. God's rule over his people

  534. That's a numbers 11:16, if you're looking up

    Numbers 11:16

  535. the passage. The other ones in Matthew 18

  536. on the forgiveness.

  537. Abi

  538. conducts this mass murder, and I it's... It's

  539. quite interesting because

  540. I also believe that there will be mass

  541. be heading under the antichrist, but Also believe

  542. there'll be remnant of people that will survive

  543. both Jews and Christians, there'll be the the

  544. woman the wilderness, I'll be crying out to

  545. God that he'll be protecting from I christ.

  546. Paul tells believers, including gentile towels, those of

  547. us who remain. Right?

  548. Talks about there's gonna be this persecution but

  549. it talks about those who remain. Right? Will

  550. be caught up to meet the Lord in

  551. the air at the second coming. So some

  552. of us will remain. And that greek word

  553. remain is it also means survive.

  554. The word remnant by the way, is connected

  555. to our English word remain, and that doesn't

  556. mean and and and there will be survivors

  557. that will be alive at the end of

  558. the tribulation period.

  559. We know that from various texts. Some will

  560. be killed. So be beheaded in Revelation 13

  561. 8 through 10, some will go into prison

  562. it says. You know,

  563. in the captivity.

  564. We know that well others will be, you

  565. know,

  566. in their homes. Wanna be taken and wanna

  567. don't be left. Right?

  568. In the sitting next to, you know, your

  569. wife or whatever. You're taking she's left or

  570. vice versa and make sure you're both saved.

  571. Hey, man. So it's quite interesting. All this

  572. is kinda is fascinating.

  573. But it's interesting the chapter 9 versus 6

  574. and 7 now.

  575. Look at chapter 9 versus 6 and 7.

  576. We'll get that up there on the... Dwight...

  577. Did I give you guys 9, 6 and

  578. 7?

  579. Somehow it didn't make it.

  580. All the men have shook them and

  581. all a bath

  582. assembled together, and they went and made abi

  583. king

  584. by the oak.

  585. So if you've got your, you know,

  586. bible open or your phone.

  587. They made him king by the oak of

  588. the pillar, which was in check.

  589. Now when they told Jo or Jo,

  590. he went and stood on the top of

  591. Mount Gu.

  592. K?

  593. He's on a very famous mountain, Mountain Gu.

  594. It's like 800 feet taller, so not huge,

  595. but, you know, like 1 of our big

  596. hillside here that surrounds to see me.

  597. And went out Ga and and then Joshua...

  598. So he went him out

  599. by the oak, which was at She.

  600. Now when they told Jo, he went and

  601. stood at the top about ge and lifted

  602. his voice and called out. Thus he said

  603. to them, listen to me o men of

  604. shaq.

  605. That God, they listen to you.

  606. So this young man is bold, man,

  607. gets some mount Ga

  608. and he's shouting.

  609. And this is really, really fascinating

  610. because there's so much history here, including on

  611. Mount Eb,

  612. and mount Ga.

  613. And what's happening here is quite fascinating.

  614. Did you did did he get... Did put

  615. up the picture of

  616. Or is jay tape figures up He would

  617. know. I will go to... There we go.

  618. There it is. Good job. So you can

  619. see Mount Ga

  620. k? If we go to Israel, this is

  621. 1 of the places I'd like to take

  622. you. We have never been here, but there's

  623. Mount Gu. You notice this across from another

  624. mountain Mountain eb ball. K? And the valley

  625. below these is called she, and there's a

  626. valley that goes, you know, right through between

  627. the 2 mountains.

  628. Okay?

  629. And it's very fascinating

  630. the history of all of this is very,

  631. very fascinating.

  632. Because when they came into the promised land,

  633. from

  634. Egypt. Right?

  635. God had them get on these mountains. He

  636. had the 12 tribes split up.

  637. On both sides of the mountain.

  638. And by the way, the levi would go

  639. stream between the 2 mountains with the arc

  640. of the covenant.

  641. Which the picture Christ.

  642. And there's a way

  643. and his... And it's z way. His name

  644. is Jesus, the arcs of picture him. And

  645. there it's quite interesting because it's there that...

  646. And we can keep that picture up if

  647. we can because just lost it. That that

  648. when you look at what's going on here

  649. it's very, very fascinating because

  650. God has an altar made here. It's called

  651. the Altar Joshua what Joshua build an altar.

  652. And Joshua reads the law.

  653. And He around me 17 and 18, which

  654. I wish I had more time to get

  655. into all this.

  656. He he gives us details about this. And

  657. how

  658. curse were red.

  659. And the tribes that were put on out

  660. ball where there symbolically of those who are

  661. being cursed

  662. by God.

  663. Because they're coming into the promised land, and

  664. God was d possessing this possessing

  665. the nations, the different, you know, parasites and

  666. Ji sites and all these different heights, you

  667. know, candidates were were being just just way

  668. laid because they were coming committing... Having inc.

  669. They were worshiping demons. They were sacrificed their

  670. children and the fires and just burning them,

  671. and they were worshiping all these demons and

  672. God was getting them out of land.

  673. And Guy could do that because it's created

  674. the universe. Right? Otherwise, he's just that Evil

  675. run a mu. And and when he brings...

  676. Comes in, he brings the curse of the

  677. law.

  678. But he has

  679. 6 the tribes amount ball, 6 on ga

  680. and And the curse are red

  681. against those mount Eb ball. Now it be

  682. like, why did I have to be on

  683. this side, you know? And the blessings to

  684. those are in Mount Gu, but it was

  685. symbolic. Of God's coming judgment, which is very

  686. fascinating.

  687. So it's really interesting to me

  688. that I'm out Ga,

  689. you have Jo. Right

  690. warning them about

  691. Abi, who you've chosen as a leader.

  692. And in Politics. Bible talks about when you

  693. install a wicked king. It's shame on you.

  694. It's a judgment on the people as well.

  695. Right?

  696. And it's interesting we read

  697. on Joshua chapter 8 versus 30 and 31.

    Joshua 8 chapter mention

  698. Then Joshua built an altar to the Lord,

  699. the God of Israel

  700. in Mount Eb

  701. just as Moses the servant of the Lord

  702. had commanded the sons of Israel

  703. as is written in the book of the

  704. Law Moses and altar of uncut stones

  705. So there'll be rough stones, of which no

  706. man had wielded the iron tool. And they

  707. offered burnt offerings, offerings the Lord. Animal sacrifice

  708. on it to the lord and sacrifice

  709. peace offering.

  710. Now this is really interesting. Here we see,

  711. depiction,

  712. of that altar

  713. on the top of

  714. Mount Eb

  715. where the curse

  716. were being read

  717. and so forth. Now right here, you see

  718. a rectangular altar

  719. of uncut stones. That's been there It's dated

  720. to about 12:50 or more, some have it.

  721. Even further back into the time

  722. of when that jews came into the promised

  723. land.

  724. Almost 3500 years ago.

  725. And what's interesting

  726. is

  727. underneath this

  728. rectangular stones is an older altar, which is

  729. round you know, couple meters round,

  730. and they discovered that.

  731. And that's considered Joshua was altered. That's believed

  732. to Bitty b.

  733. Josh was alter,

  734. where he... Which he made.

  735. And what's interesting is a

  736. professor of archaeology a secular you not a

  737. believer, you know, a grew up at a

  738. Ka boots, you know, the Ka kombucha were,

  739. many, many, many jews came from Europe when

  740. they're coming to the promised land.

  741. In the 19... Early 19 hundreds and later,

  742. and they'd go to these Ka kombucha. And

  743. Adams or Tal was 1 of these gentlemen.

  744. And the K kombucha were almost, like, run

  745. like, a Marxist socialist kinda system based on

  746. the marches in that came from Europe. Right?

  747. So when you go there, you... You'll stay,

  748. Sometimes I've stayed at K kombucha.

  749. Really fascinating, you know? And a really interesting

  750. history,

  751. but Adam R tall was a secular archaeologist,

  752. it's a professor of archaeology at Hyphen University

  753. city.

  754. And he grew up at Cabo boots, he

  755. fought the independence were.

  756. And in 19 48, In fact, he was

  757. wounded that war and got a medal of

  758. honor and

  759. oftentimes was on crutches after that. But it

  760. becomes a professor of archaeology, non believer

  761. Hai University

  762. and guess what happens? He finds

  763. this.

  764. And digs up the altar under this altar.

  765. The circular altar.

  766. And he's blown away. Like, what in the

  767. world is this.

  768. And they giving sketches by an orthodox jews

  769. says, this is what the alter altar would

  770. look like based on the teachers of the

  771. bible.

  772. You know, these primitive Israeli alters. He goes,

  773. this is that.

  774. And then they take the bones

  775. that sacrifice were done on the inner altar,

  776. and they have them examined,

  777. and which is very important because Jews sacrificed

  778. different animals than the pagans did. Pagans would

  779. sacrifice

  780. pigs to their gods.

  781. N.

  782. There's very specific line of sacrifice that Got.

  783. Guess what they found.

  784. Israeli sacrifice. Is that only comp with Israeli

  785. doctrine as far as what would be sacrificed.

  786. So Z tall,

  787. didn't drop his spade. He became a lifelong

  788. He became a believer in Y.

  789. And then he began to use his bible

  790. ever since after that, saying the God of

  791. that bible is real. This is evidence that

  792. my people came into the land.

  793. He wrote a book called the nation is

  794. born after that. Okay? Adams are tall. You

  795. can write his name Adam, ZERTAL

  796. and do a little research on him fascinating

  797. story is as Adams are tall. So

  798. there's... There's this is, like, really cool because

  799. when you go to Israel, there's a lot

  800. of things you can look at, but this

  801. is something... That's just sitting out there. That

  802. hasn't been disturbed much, you know?

  803. And I love those kinds of things. So

  804. that might be a place we can inquire

  805. of getting Ted and to watch our deals

  806. and hopefully you guys are We love you

  807. guys.

  808. But maybe we could work that out, brother.

  809. We'll see, You know. If you don't wanna

  810. go, you don't wanna get shot at, perhaps,

  811. you know you just wait at the hotel

  812. or go somewhere else swimming that day or

  813. something. You know, We may not go there.

  814. I probably scared half the group away, But

  815. Jesus send out the multitude. So, hey, you

  816. know, But we'll see if Lord opens a

  817. door, we would do that if it was

  818. protection. Or if it's considered safe, you know?

  819. But very, very fascinating stuff.

  820. And

  821. but what's really crazy is a fine that

  822. took place in 2019,

  823. same year Covid

  824. took place.

  825. There was a team of archaeologists doing what's

  826. called Wet sift 15. That means you're going

  827. through material instead of just dry sift. Now

  828. you're using water and you're getting a lot

  829. of the dirt that the sediment set on...

  830. Because we see so much and you go

  831. through material that's sift, and now you're wet

  832. sift it, and you make greater discoveries. And

  833. guess what,

  834. they believe many believe they found. It's going

  835. through there's there's peer reviewed studies,

  836. and writings on this going on in the

  837. last few years ever since then.

  838. And let's look at this next clip.

  839. Go... That's that's the altar from a a

  840. more of an aerial view on Mount Eval.

  841. There's a secular

  842. part. That's a scar by the way from

  843. Egypt. You know? Because remember they came from

  844. Egypt. Right? They found a couple of these

  845. sc.

  846. You've see in the top, your top left

  847. the more

  848. Thing, which is very interesting what they found

  849. here because they took things from Egypt. Next

  850. went, on next slide.

  851. Here you see what's called the cursed tablet.

  852. Many believe to be a cursed tablet. You

  853. know, some of the doubt are like, no

  854. It's it's a weight It's a weight that's

  855. used for fishing, which doesn't make sense because

  856. the weights that you find for fishing either

  857. they have a hole in them, so you

  858. could put a string through it or they

  859. have a

  860. indentation at the end where you can run

  861. a string through it. This has neither.

  862. And this is your typical

  863. appears to be your typical cursed tablet. In

  864. fact, those who discovered it, their archaeological leaders

  865. were, like, right away they knew when and

  866. west, you know, because you see these at

  867. times.

  868. And to find a cursed tablet in a

  869. place where curse were red red would make

  870. a lot of sense, you know?

  871. And it's interesting as well, why would there

  872. be weights for fishing in a area that's

  873. so far away from the Jordan and Mediterranean

  874. makes no sense as well, You know? It's

  875. almost as middle of israel's you can get

  876. from those bodies of water. So

  877. now, they believe, and this... I'm not gonna

  878. say this is for sure, a cursed tablet

  879. that was used by... And the curse is...

  880. This was what the curse were read from

  881. from Joshua. I don't know for sure. So

  882. I'm all about a lot of Christmas saying

  883. this is for sure, because I'm looking at

  884. some of the, you know, what's going on

  885. about this and so forth from And I

  886. don't know 100 percent, but it's very, very

  887. interesting. I'll say that. I do believe we're

  888. looking at Joshua alter and so forth. I

  889. do it very... It's very possible.

  890. This is the cursed tablet, and then they

  891. put the cursed tablet and the sacrifices and

  892. so forth,

  893. and after the curse were red. And they'd

  894. have these little tiny cursed tablets.

  895. It wasn't just used by the Jews, which

  896. is interesting,

  897. but it was based on the law. And

  898. what's interested about this, which be fascinated than

  899. me is you have YHW,

  900. not the whole Tetra, but the first letter

  901. is YHW,

  902. which is a way that Y is sometimes

  903. used,

  904. and so forth.

  905. And they believe it's the paleo, you know,

  906. Hebrew. The first time you see the name

  907. Y in history. Which is quite interesting because

  908. it be coming right out of Egypt into

  909. the promised land, which is

  910. very close to the dating of of this

  911. And this is this is about nowhere where

  912. we read that

  913. this all took place. So it's all very

  914. very

  915. fascinating stuff.

  916. Now,

  917. I don't wanna get too bogged down in

  918. this because we will lose this the the

  919. just the the main part of the story,

  920. but I I love to bring things that

  921. that are interesting that tie into the stories

  922. that we read and and God's word that

  923. I think are really fascinating.

  924. Now, oh, by the way, what many of

  925. those believe that are looking at the the

  926. lettering, which is really hard to read because

  927. it's layered. And they actually have to x

  928. rays through lead

  929. Okay.

  930. And now they try to open it up

  931. when you look at that bottom 1, the

  932. bottom 1 on the bottom. If you look

  933. to your right, right? You'll see a little

  934. chip off the top part of that because

  935. they try to pry it open and it

  936. chip. Oh, better not do this. But they're

  937. ever be use

  938. high tech where able to actually penetrate through

  939. and do basically,

  940. a

  941. basically see through the lead

  942. to the writing,

  943. but it's really hard to read, and there's

  944. different... You know, some have it as you

  945. are cursed by the God

  946. Y cursed.

  947. You will die. Cursed. Cursed, you will surely

  948. die. Cursed, You are by y, Cursed

  949. and so forth.

  950. So very, very fascinating.

  951. Anyway, Jo is there on mountain, on the

  952. mountain of Gu, right across from that mountain.

  953. Right?

  954. Almost like, I'm on the out of blessing,

  955. you know?

  956. And he's yelling it's be natural, you already

  957. saw the depiction of those 2 mountains, it'd

  958. be like a natural amp peter. That's why

  959. I get 2 reasons. I, he wants everybody

  960. to hear him. And other reason he... And

  961. also he wants to let. Boo. He wants

  962. to take off to where they're not gonna

  963. capture him.

  964. So it's interesting too that

  965. a reads this at us, the oak says

  966. he reads it. He reads us at the

  967. oak. Like, everybody knows what the oak is.

  968. Which I think is interesting because when Abraham

  969. made his covenant with God, or God made

  970. his covenant with Abraham I should say, we

  971. read in Genesis 12 6 and 7, when

  972. he was in she, The Abraham passed through

  973. the land as far as a sight of

  974. she

  975. to the oak to the oak of Mo.

  976. Like, everybody knows is what it is.

  977. Now the k night was then in the

  978. land,

  979. and the Lord appeared to Abraham and said,

  980. to your descendants, I will give the lit

  981. this land.

  982. So he built an altar there to the

  983. lord who appeared to him. It's interesting. It's

  984. almost as though, Abi is just doing the

  985. opposite.

  986. Coming against God's people,

  987. Going to this oak and declaring himself as

  988. the king,

  989. you surfing God's authority. Think of the temple

  990. mount, And what the muslims have done with

  991. the temple mount,

  992. you know?

  993. Allah is God,

  994. and he has no son.

  995. That's a lie from the pit of hell.

  996. Lot. He represents anything... Well, anyone is Satan.

  997. Okay?

  998. And has no sign. Yeah. That's what the

  999. bible says. It says, he that denies the

  1000. son is antichrist.

  1001. And the attic antichrist will sit the temple

  1002. of god it says show himself that he

  1003. is God, and he will seek to destroy

  1004. god's people, which is what Abi at is

  1005. doing.

  1006. And he's ex himself. Look at chapter 9

  1007. verse 14.

  1008. Finally,

  1009. all the trees said to the Bra.

  1010. You come reign over us. Now this is

  1011. the first basically

  1012. you know,

  1013. you have a parable going on here, guys.

  1014. K? In fact, you know what?

  1015. I I need to backup. Do you guys

  1016. have

  1017. 9 8 02:13.

  1018. Okay. There is up there. He's gonna... Jo

  1019. gonna he's holler.

  1020. Listen it up, guys.

  1021. And he's holler of these guys. And he

  1022. gives them the first parable you read in

  1023. the Bible, by the way. Very interesting. The

  1024. first time you see

  1025. somebody give a parable in the Bible.

  1026. That I'm familiar with.

  1027. Once the trees went forth, he says, to

  1028. annoy a king over them

  1029. because these guys want him to be their

  1030. king.

  1031. And they said to the olive tree reign

  1032. over us,

  1033. but the Olive tree said to them. Shall

  1034. I leave my fat,

  1035. with which God and men are honored. And

  1036. go to wave over the trees,

  1037. then the tree said to the fig, you

  1038. come, reign over us, but the fig tree

  1039. said to them. So shall I lead by

  1040. sweetness and my good fruit and and and

  1041. go to wave over the trees,

  1042. then the tree said to the vine, You

  1043. come reign over us.

  1044. But the vine said to them. So I

  1045. leave my new wine, new wine is fresh

  1046. vine, the or fresh wine right out of

  1047. the like fresh welch is grape juice, you

  1048. know, right out of the vine.

  1049. Fact, the word Is used here not yay

  1050. n, which is the typical word for wine,

  1051. which

  1052. often refers to this brand new wine.

  1053. Which cheers god and men and go to

  1054. wave over the trees.

  1055. Now,

  1056. this is a very interesting deal because, look

  1057. what happens is 09:14.

    Isaiah 9:14

  1058. Finally, all the tree said to the Bra,

  1059. the bra... You know, kind tree of bra

  1060. for you is.

  1061. It's that's right. It's thorn bush. It's a

  1062. Thorn bush. Okay?

  1063. You come right over us. It's like the

  1064. last come on. You come right over us,

  1065. because they really want a king.

  1066. And their bra or thorn was shed to

  1067. the trees.

  1068. If in truth, you are anointed me as

  1069. king over you come and take refuge in

  1070. my shade.

  1071. But if not,

  1072. may fire come out from the bra and

  1073. assume the cedar of Lebanon.

  1074. There was yes. I would love to be

  1075. a ruler and whoever doesn't want me to

  1076. rule them. I'm gonna torch them with fire.

  1077. By the way, how absurd is this picture.

  1078. Trees wanted the thorn wish to be their

  1079. king to take refuge under its shade.

  1080. Thorn bushes are not known much for shade.

  1081. Okay? They're known for they're really really good

  1082. to burn in the fire, which is interesting.

  1083. This storm thorn bush seems to get it

  1084. in this little parable.

  1085. Look at chapter 9 verse 16.

  1086. Now, therefore, if you have dealt in truth

  1087. and integrity. This is Jonathan. I'm speaking still,

  1088. in making our Amulet king. And if you

  1089. have dealt well with Ge All and his

  1090. house and have dealt with him as he

  1091. deserved for my father fought for you that's

  1092. gideon and risked his life and delivered you

  1093. from the Hanna million.

  1094. But you have risen against my father's house

  1095. today and have killed his sons, 70 men

  1096. on 1 stone And I made out Be,

  1097. the son of his maids servant,

  1098. king over the men of She

  1099. because he is your relative.

  1100. If then you have dealt in truth and

  1101. integrity with Ge all in his house this

  1102. day, rejoice. In a be and let him

  1103. also re rejoice in you, but if not,

  1104. let fire come from out from a abi

  1105. and consume

  1106. this is interesting, the men of She

  1107. and Beth

  1108. and let fire come out from the men

  1109. of She. And Beth and consume Abi.

  1110. Then Jonathan escaped and fled. Yeah. You bet.

  1111. He better take off. And went to beer

  1112. Yeah. It doesn't mean went drank beer. A

  1113. place and went to beer and I remain

  1114. there because Abi, his brother.

  1115. Now this is interesting. It's Prophetic. He brings

  1116. forth a curse

  1117. on the mountains of blessing and cursing.

  1118. Very fascinating.

  1119. Then look at chapter 9 verse 22. Now

  1120. Abi ruled over Israel 3 years

  1121. is that interesting?

  1122. How long would the anti antichrist reign will

  1123. be a long rain or short reign

  1124. just over 3 years.

  1125. K? 1290 days,

  1126. 3 and a half years.

  1127. Then God sent an evil spirit between abi

  1128. And the men of She.

  1129. Isn't that interesting. Even though Ben being used

  1130. by Satan, God is sovereign over at all.

  1131. You know, even people that are in into

  1132. demon worship into magic and

  1133. into witchcraft and so forth. They have to

  1134. have all kinds of inca indentation and circles

  1135. and different things they do to protect themselves

  1136. from the very demons

  1137. that they're opening themselves up to.

  1138. And they almost... They think they're diluted. Think,

  1139. there are some good demons and bad demons

  1140. or good angels and bad angels that I'm

  1141. summon when you start summon angels, man, only

  1142. 1 side's listening. It's the demonic side.

  1143. And the reason you have to do your

  1144. inca to protect yourself and everything

  1145. which by the way, isn't protection at all.

  1146. True protection only comes from Jesus. You gotta

  1147. bow the knee. Repent of all that stuff

  1148. to have true protection. But it's because you're

  1149. being attacked because you're opening yourself to these

  1150. very forces. And I think it's very interesting

  1151. that Ob be is gonna be messed with

  1152. by the very demonic realm that he's tapped

  1153. into. Through his rebellion because the bible says

  1154. rebellion is as a in a witchcraft. But

  1155. look it. Now, a above rolled over Israel

  1156. 3 years, then God sent an Evil spirit

  1157. between our.

  1158. And the man of she. And the man

  1159. of she dealt treacherous without Him leg.

  1160. Is that interesting.

  1161. So then the violence done to the 70

  1162. sons of drew

  1163. J

  1164. might come.

  1165. And their blood might be laid on of

  1166. him like their brother, who killed them and

  1167. on the man of She,

  1168. who strengthen his hands to kill his brothers.

  1169. So it's interesting these demonic entities are unleashed.

  1170. Now, Satan has to report to god. You

  1171. know that. Right? He couldn't even touch Job.

  1172. Joe he complained

  1173. to God in heaven because you built a

  1174. hedge around Joe, but I can't even touch

  1175. him.

  1176. And God said he was gonna let the

  1177. joe the the hedge up for a while,

  1178. but don't kill him. Okay?

  1179. And God was a use what statement free

  1180. 2 is good and job bennett been blessed

  1181. twice as much in the end.

  1182. Jesus said to

  1183. Peter, Satan has sought permission

  1184. to sift you like wheat,

  1185. but I pray that your faith will not

  1186. fail.

  1187. So remember, saying like the prose attorney.

  1188. We are in a cosmic court right now,

  1189. guys.

  1190. There's a forensic aspect to

  1191. salvation as well. Don't know of any better

  1192. evidence of that is the fact that when

  1193. we die, point, man. Once a die, but

  1194. after this judgment. Amen.

  1195. K? There's there's more than 1 motif going

  1196. on when it comes to salvation, but judgment

  1197. and and being acquitted and so forth through

  1198. the blood of christ is definitely when we

  1199. dare not lay aside.

  1200. But it's interesting because Satan is very active,

  1201. but he only can only do what God

  1202. allows him to do.

  1203. But he'll allow him certain things. Remember King

  1204. saw when he's under rebellion to God.

  1205. What did gotta do? He allowed him to

  1206. be possessed by a demon.

  1207. Member King Ahab,

  1208. same deal. King Ahab was rebellion to God

  1209. God warned him that he was gonna die.

  1210. And then did you look at the end

  1211. of Ahab life, he still was in defiance

  1212. of the Lord.

  1213. And we read it's interesting.

  1214. It says behold the Lord has put a

  1215. lion's spirit in the mouth of Prophets

  1216. speaking of ahab prophets.

  1217. Lord has declared disaster

  1218. concerning you. Isn't this all very interesting.

  1219. And this means a lot for us as

  1220. believers

  1221. because the spiritual realm is very real

  1222. and god manifests

  1223. himself today in the world through his church.

  1224. K?

  1225. The church isn't d facto the kingdom, but

  1226. it's part of God's kingdom.

  1227. And God deals with his people, and when

  1228. need be humble before the Lord.

  1229. And we need make sure we're not abi

  1230. that we seek the lord's will, and we

  1231. put Jesus first and that he is our

  1232. king amen.

  1233. And if someone goes into sexual per conversion

  1234. in the church and they begin they, I'm

  1235. just gonna start sleeping with this gal healthcare.

  1236. If I'm married or not, and I'm gonna,

  1237. Kid, I could just, you know, have abortion

  1238. or whatever, or people live about. What happened

  1239. when the guy was having sex sexual relations

  1240. with his father's wife? And first, Corinthians 5.

  1241. What did gotta do? Paul said I delivered

  1242. him over to who.

  1243. Satan for the structure of his flesh,

  1244. that a spirit might be or may be

  1245. saved in the day of salvation. He'd have

  1246. to repent.

  1247. But that's a form of discipline that god

  1248. brings

  1249. you can open yourself up as a Christian

  1250. by turning away from the lord to all

  1251. kinds of demonic in, you know, attack.

  1252. In fact, we read of a couple men,

  1253. Jaime and Ph in sec... In first Timothy

    1 Timothy 1 chapter mention

  1254. chapter 1,

  1255. who went astra from the truth

  1256. def defy their conscience

  1257. and Paul says I've handed them over to

  1258. Satan that they might learn not to bla.

  1259. They're teaching false doctrines. They're contradicting the word

  1260. of God.

  1261. And yet they open themselves up to demonic

  1262. attacks Now, as Christian, you will already have

  1263. some demonic attack. We wrestle restaurant against wet,

  1264. flesh and blood against and powers.

  1265. And God will even use in great believers

  1266. lives

  1267. some kind of measuring to teach us

  1268. from the spiritual world to wake us up

  1269. of our need for Jesus.

  1270. You see that in

  1271. the Apostle Paul's life. Remember, there was a

  1272. messenger from Satan that was beating him up,

  1273. so he would not be... So he said,

  1274. so I wanna ex myself. In pride, he

  1275. didn't, you know, was tried to go before

  1276. fall and god used that in his life.

  1277. God uses things in his sovereignty in all

  1278. of our lives

  1279. help keep our eyes on Jesus.

  1280. You say, well, why does God use such

  1281. extreme? I wish he would use those things

  1282. Well guess what?

  1283. The church would just be

  1284. levin with sin. This is 1 way that

  1285. he even works in the church is allowing

  1286. us, what happened in judges over and over

  1287. again? When they rebelled against the Lord. What

  1288. do you allow?

  1289. Their physical enemies to come in. Right?

  1290. So they went die in the rebellion so

  1291. they repent and get right with the lord.

  1292. Amen?

  1293. Well, he allows that too with our spiritual

  1294. enemies

  1295. to invade our lives if we're rebellion to

  1296. God, so we wake up.

  1297. I'd rather go through spiritual attack because I'm

  1298. on the freight lines for Jesus. Right? Yeah.

  1299. And it's say Enemy trying to stop me.

  1300. Hey, man. That's good. Then because I'm being

  1301. chasing by Lord who's giving me a weapon

  1302. at the woods shed because I'm open myself

  1303. up to these forces because I'm aligning. How

  1304. do you mean to open yourself with these

  1305. forces?

  1306. Because rebellion is as us in witchcraft, when

  1307. you start to rebel against the Lord,

  1308. You start following the father lies.

  1309. You start deciding with the enemy. And he

  1310. said he is not with me against me.

  1311. And the lord will take measuring,

  1312. measured means to discipline you to span you

  1313. to bring you back. Well what exactly that

  1314. what does that look like?

  1315. Looks comes a lot different ways, and we

  1316. have time to get into it all because

  1317. we'd have to lose our story again, but

  1318. these are important things to learn. I've been

  1319. at who's serving the enemy

  1320. is being getting a whoop right now. And

  1321. god rises

  1322. allows things commotion and stuff to to wake

  1323. him up, getting the repent, give him an

  1324. opportunity.

  1325. Save his people, but he doesn't really get

  1326. the message unfortunately.

  1327. Look at chapter 9, Can we put the

  1328. next scripture there.

  1329. Verse 25.

  1330. We see the men of She,

  1331. sat in ambush

  1332. against him.

  1333. On the tops of the mountains, and they

  1334. robbed

  1335. all who might pass by along the road,

  1336. and it was told up Lick.

  1337. So now you've got these trade routes that

  1338. are very important for the success of She,

  1339. which was a pretty big prosperous at the

  1340. time being messed with. By abi enemy. And

  1341. now he's being told this, and then we

  1342. read in verse 26.

  1343. Now got all, the son of Eb bed

  1344. came with his relatives and crossed over into

  1345. She. And the met She put their trust

  1346. in him. They went out into the field

  1347. and gathered the their grapes of the vineyards.

  1348. And t them and held they festival, and

  1349. they went into the house of their God

  1350. and ate and drank and cursed Abi.

  1351. When you read in revelation, and Daniel, you

  1352. see that guess what even Antichrist is gonna

  1353. have some problems in the book of Daniel.

  1354. First 28, then of all the son of

  1355. Eb beds said, who is our Be? And

  1356. who is she him that he should serve

  1357. that we should serve him?

  1358. Is he not the son of J, but

  1359. all remember that's Gideon?

  1360. And Z, not his lieutenant,

  1361. serve the men of Hay more and the

  1362. father of check him,

  1363. but why should we serve him

  1364. Well therefore, that this people were under my

  1365. authority that I would remove Abi,

  1366. and he said to Abi, increase your army

  1367. and come out. He challenge him. To war.

  1368. Okay? It's time of harvest, you know, they're

  1369. then they're letting the the grapes, you know,

  1370. become, you know, fermented, then they're getting drunk,

  1371. and they're partying and like, we'll challenge our

  1372. Am, you know? And guess what? The the

  1373. battles on, you know,

  1374. look chapter 9 verse 30.

  1375. When X, the ruler of the city heard

  1376. the words of all the son of Eb,

  1377. his anger burned.

  1378. He said messengers Abi elect to saying,

  1379. behold all, the son of eb ebay and

  1380. his relatives have come to check them and

  1381. behold, they are stirring up the city against

  1382. you. Now therefore rise by night you and

  1383. your... The people who are with you and

  1384. lie weight for in the field

  1385. in the morning as soon as the sun

  1386. is up, you shall rise early and rush

  1387. upon the city and behold. When he and

  1388. the people,

  1389. who are with him come out against you.

  1390. You shall do to them whatever you can.

  1391. So trying to bring him into this this

  1392. war and his life and Abi

  1393. reign ultimately,

  1394. judges chapter 9 verse 34,

    Judges 9:34

  1395. So Abi, and all the people who are

  1396. with him arose by night and lay in

  1397. wait against she them in 4 companies. It's

  1398. interesting.

  1399. This was the same thing his dad, getting

  1400. hit done

  1401. with great success. If you go back and

  1402. read that story. Too bad at fall gideon

  1403. the highlights of his life that were good,

  1404. and not just this just as part of

  1405. it. Now go all, the son of Eb

  1406. bed went out and stood in the entrance

  1407. of the city gate, and Abi and the

  1408. people who are with him arose from the

  1409. ambush.

  1410. When go all saw the people he said

  1411. his X look, people are coming from the

  1412. tops of the mountains, but X said to

  1413. him.

  1414. You are seeing the shadow of the mountains

  1415. as if they were men. All spoke again

  1416. and said, no. He's like, behold, people are

  1417. coming down from the highest part of the

  1418. land. And what company comes by the way

  1419. of the divine oak?

  1420. When X said to him, where is your

  1421. boasting then? I'm sorry. X said, and where

  1422. is your boasting now? With which you said,

  1423. who is our and, that we should serve

  1424. him? Is this not the people whom you

  1425. despise? Go out now fight that fight with

  1426. him. So guy all went out before the

  1427. leaders of She and fought with Abi. Abi

  1428. chased him and he fled before him and

  1429. many fell wounded up to the entrance of

  1430. the gate. Then up remained at,

  1431. Irma,

  1432. and X

  1433. drove out to go and is relatives so

  1434. that they could not remain in check them.

  1435. K. There's not any really good guys in

  1436. this particular battle. K? They're all just wicked

  1437. guys. Right? It's just cut again off like

  1438. politics,

  1439. today, not that you don't... Not that there's

  1440. not those with better plans and others that

  1441. would help the country other than no. That's

  1442. for sure. So put your trust in men.

  1443. Chapter 9 verse 42.

  1444. Now came about the next day when the

  1445. people went out to the field,

  1446. and it was told to Abi.

  1447. So we took his people and divided them

  1448. into 3 companies,

  1449. k? And lay in wait in the field.

  1450. Sounds familiar. Right? And when he looked and

  1451. saw the people coming out from the city,

  1452. arose against them and slew them.

  1453. Now watch this? Then Abi,

  1454. and the company who was with him dashed

  1455. forward and stood in the entrance of the

  1456. city gate.

  1457. The other 2 companies then dashed against all

  1458. who were in the field and slew them.

  1459. I've been fought against them city all that

  1460. day. And captured the city and killed the

  1461. people. This guy's is brutal, who were in

  1462. it, then he raised the city and sow

  1463. it with salt. And that was their way

  1464. of, like, just cursing, you know, spinning salt.

  1465. Throughout the land, it was a statement and

  1466. so forth about this land not be productive.

  1467. And then we read in chapter 9 verse

  1468. 46,

  1469. when all the leaders of the tower. Now

  1470. this is interesting. When all the leaders of

  1471. the tower of She heard it, they entered

  1472. the inner chamber of the temple of El.

  1473. And it was told the Be that all

  1474. the leaders of of the tower of She

  1475. were gathered together. So Abi Be went up

  1476. to the mount of Za

  1477. Za, and he and the people were with

  1478. him. And Abi took an axe in his

  1479. hand and cut down a branch from the

  1480. trees

  1481. and lifted it and laid it on his

  1482. shoulder,

  1483. then he said to the people who are

  1484. with him, what you have seen me do

  1485. hurry and do likewise.

  1486. So these men check the people the men

  1487. and women that are left and she them.

  1488. They're some that are left,

  1489. they fled to this tower. And the ancient

  1490. times they'd have these strong towers that were,

  1491. like, last line of defense.

  1492. You know, the castle down, you know, or

  1493. whatever, you know, everything's down, except, do you

  1494. go to this tower, which was fortified

  1495. and you could go into the tower. You

  1496. shut the gates behind. You can go up

  1497. to the top of the tower.

  1498. And hopefully,

  1499. be safe because there were resources that you

  1500. could use at the top of the tower

  1501. to try to defeat the enemies. But if

  1502. your enemies would overwhelm, you could be in

  1503. trouble, but it was still close, you could

  1504. maybe whip them. Because you've got the tower

  1505. they don't.

  1506. Well, he goes all as man. It cuts

  1507. a big old. This is a very beautiful

  1508. area. Right? There's all kinds of, you know,

  1509. trees and everything else that's why Lord brought

  1510. the promised then they were tripping out. He

  1511. cuts a branch and lays on his back.

  1512. It says do that likewise, basically,

  1513. which is really interesting to me.

  1514. Because he's a wicked man,

  1515. and he wants to burn him down, wipe

  1516. him out, kill him.

  1517. And it's the opposite of what Jesus did.

  1518. Jesus took wood and laid on his back.

  1519. Amen.

  1520. He caused us to take up our cross

  1521. to follow him, amen. But Jesus did that

  1522. to bring life, not death. Amen. In fact

  1523. when Jews explained what love was, he talked

  1524. about the Good samaritan and what he did.

  1525. And he looked at the people. And he

  1526. said, this is what the good samaritan did

  1527. he says do that likewise.

  1528. This is like a reverse of all that,

  1529. You know? A Satan's Satan's deal. It's all

  1530. about self ambition ex yourself above others wanted

  1531. to be worship and and and

  1532. the lord's

  1533. not in the plan at all.

  1534. Judges chapter 9 verse 49.

    Judges 9:49

  1535. All the people who cut down each 1

  1536. of his branch and follow Be

  1537. and put them on the inner chamber and

  1538. set the inner chamber on fire.

  1539. Member,

  1540. Jo

  1541. prophetic curse

  1542. regarding the bra bush, what would come out

  1543. from it and the the story that don't...

  1544. He's destroying his own people.

  1545. With fire.

  1546. Memories from shotgun. Do you remember that Right?

  1547. So this guy's really wicked,

  1548. and they they sent the chamber on fire

  1549. over those inside. So that all the men

  1550. of the tower of She also died, about

  1551. a thousand men and women.

  1552. Wow, this is just crazy.

  1553. And,

  1554. you know,

  1555. do you think there's a lot of people

  1556. today in power that just have heart full

  1557. love that wanna bless you and save the

  1558. children and and, you know, fight abortion and...

  1559. Well, there's some of that do.

  1560. But there's a lot of people in power

  1561. that And I always warning you as believers.

  1562. When you elect officials

  1563. that can kill the most innocent among us,

  1564. babies.

  1565. It's gonna be really easy to kill christians

  1566. who annoy them because they remind them of

  1567. those things is being wrong.

  1568. This is all being a setup right now

  1569. as we talk for the ultimate antichrist, who's

  1570. called the man of Sin, the man of

  1571. Law, Son tradition.

  1572. Chapter 09:50,

  1573. and we're getting to the end of here.

  1574. Then Abi

  1575. I went to the beds. This is another

  1576. city now. And this this city has a

  1577. lot of Jews in it. K? A lot

  1578. of Israelis here that have come in into

  1579. the Promised.

  1580. And I'll been, like, went to the beds

  1581. and he kept against f beds. He has

  1582. wants to just continue to spread his power

  1583. and captured it. And there was a strong

  1584. tower. Oh, there's another strong tower.

  1585. Right?

  1586. In the center of the city, and all

  1587. the men and the women, all the leaders

  1588. of the city fled there and shut themselves

  1589. in and they went up on the roof

  1590. of the tower. So they shut themselves in,

  1591. then they go to the roof. They climb

  1592. up to the roof of the tower, up

  1593. in the heavens.

  1594. So Abi

  1595. came to the tower and fought against it,

  1596. and I love this guys. Best part of

  1597. the story 1 of the best anyways and

  1598. approached the entrance of the tower to burn

  1599. it with fire.

  1600. Looking at verse 53, But a certain woman

  1601. through an upper mills on a Be head,

  1602. crushing his

  1603. skull.

  1604. Dude that guy got an na... You ever

  1605. had an already headache. This is like worse

  1606. than that. Okay. Just crush his

  1607. skull.

  1608. And I thought it's interesting because what goes

  1609. around comes around go, you know, and so

  1610. forth, that whole saying is actually biblical. You

  1611. reap what you sow. He's reaping what he

  1612. sow.

  1613. Where was he taking off their heads

  1614. on the top of a wet?

  1615. A stone. Hey amen.

  1616. And now he's crushed with a stone.

  1617. And it's interesting. I was reading a story

  1618. a couple weeks ago when I was really

  1619. focused on this story. I'm like, well, that's

  1620. crazy. If we go to the next slide,

  1621. you'll see a Tony cakes there. K? You

  1622. won't see his head attached to him. K?

  1623. Well, the next slide,

  1624. as well. There he is. Tony Cakes, the

  1625. dessert man, he was a mafia

  1626. mafia. So from the G family,

  1627. 1 of the 4 or 5 wet crime

  1628. families in new York. And

  1629. that dude,

  1630. was a captain for the mafia in and

  1631. out of prison,

  1632. but he called Tony Cakes that was his

  1633. nickname because, you know, a lot of these

  1634. guys they have front, you know, he's had

  1635. dessert. Known for desserts and stuff. You know?

  1636. I don't know if that was a front

  1637. organization because he's in out of jail. And

  1638. it's interesting. He was walking across the street.

  1639. I say something wrong?

  1640. Oh, I'm standing for the picture.

  1641. Okay. There's Tony Cakes. I'm sorry. My wife

  1642. was, like, Like, like, my zipper down or

  1643. something. I'm like, what's wrong. You know. Like,

  1644. you.

  1645. That says she's pointing over here. Okay. Good.

  1646. I'm like, okay.

  1647. Almost got, you, embarrassed there, you know.

  1648. But Tony cakes, you know, and he just

  1649. dies.

  1650. And I can't believe you leave at this

  1651. part of the message, Mark. Anyway, probably gotta

  1652. go the bathroom. Okay. Because he's got... He's

  1653. got a text. Okay.

  1654. Anyway,

  1655. crazy.

  1656. Because this guy's 86 years old.

  1657. And

  1658. 1 of the... And his head was taken

  1659. off.

  1660. D in the accident. I mean, what's the

  1661. odds of that? You know? I'm not gonna

  1662. show you that part. But and but it's

  1663. crazy.

  1664. Because they interviewed 1 of the officers at

  1665. the scene, He what he said, he's like,

  1666. this man spent all his life looking behind

  1667. him, looking turning behind his shoulder.

  1668. Because of what he'd done in the mafia

  1669. perhaps and

  1670. but then... But he forgot to look both

  1671. ways before he crossed the street.

  1672. That's fascinating.

  1673. Another officer said he'll never get ahead in

  1674. life again. You know? No. No. He didn't

  1675. say that. I made that 1

  1676. That's a that's a bad joke, You know?

  1677. But that we could use that of abi.

  1678. Right? He loo literally leaves just

  1679. ted crushed in. And it's interesting.

  1680. You rep fight you so. This guy 86

  1681. years old. I've skate. I got away with

  1682. everything. Bam. His heads chopped off in an

  1683. accident, You know?

  1684. What goes around,

  1685. comes around,

  1686. look at versus

  1687. verse 55 54 and 55.

  1688. Then he called quickly to the young man

  1689. and his armor bearer and said to him,

  1690. this sa, not Tony Cakes. Draw your sword

  1691. and kill me. So that it will not

  1692. be said of me a woman slew him,

  1693. so the young man pierced him through and

  1694. he died.

  1695. When the men of israel saw

  1696. Was dead each departed

  1697. to his home. Isn't this interesting.

  1698. Kill me. So that's what he's worried about.

  1699. That concerned I... On his dying bed. I

  1700. killed thousands or or who knows how many

  1701. innocent people got have mercy on me.

  1702. He's concerned about his own name.

  1703. And I don't want people know women killed

  1704. me too late. We know right now.

  1705. 3000 years later or whatever been. You know,

  1706. And we're All talking about it still.

  1707. You know, God ran. This kind of trip

  1708. when you think about the irony All... There's

  1709. so much irony here. You know? And

  1710. verse

  1711. 56.

  1712. Thus God repaid the wicked A.

  1713. Which he had done

  1714. to his father in killing the 70 brothers.

  1715. He got it back, came back to him.

  1716. Verse 57, although God returned all the wicked

  1717. of the men of She on their head,

  1718. see it came back to them. And the

  1719. curse of Jo, the son of Dr ab

  1720. ba, came upon them.

  1721. This guy is such a picture of the

  1722. antichrist House so, his short reign of just

  1723. a few years.

  1724. He ex himself, And Cr ex himself. He

  1725. destroys his own people, even the horror Babylon

  1726. will be destroyed by the 10 kings that

  1727. give their power to the beast He goes

  1728. after God's people,

  1729. his people go up just before the very

  1730. end.

  1731. And when Chris, when the Antichrist seems like

  1732. he's just gonna win at the end.

  1733. Will be caught meet the lord of the

  1734. air at the end of the tribulation period

  1735. amen.

  1736. And guess what? It's kind of a trip

  1737. when you think about it.

  1738. He's destroyed by a wet.

  1739. A stone.

  1740. Amen.

  1741. Jesus in in Daniel chapter 2. He destroys

    Daniel 2 chapter mention

  1742. this image to picture the beast in its

  1743. kingdoms

  1744. in succession and a stone uncut with hands

  1745. comp and destroys that image.

  1746. From the heavens, by the way. This stone

  1747. comes from the heavens.

  1748. Oh, by the way, another interesting parallel, Why

  1749. a woman there's a trip. She's got a

  1750. mills, a better shot than Caitlyn Clark, man.

  1751. Bam. You know boom, you know? And it's

  1752. a trip because when you think about it.

  1753. Like,

  1754. why did god do that? I believe there's

  1755. more than 1 reason, but I believe 1

  1756. reason is the stone comes through the women.

  1757. Jesus in Genesis chapter 3 verse 16 17

    Genesis 3:16

  1758. were told that the Messiah would crush head

  1759. of the the head bad of the serpent.

  1760. Right?

  1761. Through the woman. Hey, amen. Then you go

  1762. to, you know, Isaiah 7 and 9, you

  1763. can go to

  1764. through Mary and go through revelation 12, the

  1765. woman Israel. God brings the man child, and

  1766. he destroys the dragon. It's all there, guys.

  1767. These pictures are just filled with God's truth.

  1768. And when you have eyes to see, you're

  1769. like, wow. This is so robust, so powerful,

  1770. so amazing.

  1771. But you know what?

  1772. Guys,

  1773. there'll be a final judgment.

  1774. Right?

  1775. And when need be ready, but here's some

  1776. quick applications to keep in mind.

  1777. God uses a week to shame the wise.

  1778. He used a weak woman,

  1779. and he used her as a mighty warrior.

  1780. And brother and sisters, we are weak without

  1781. the Lord.

  1782. But Paul said when we're weak he is

  1783. strong, Amen. And when you're strong in him,

  1784. you become a mighty warrior for Jesus, amen.

  1785. That the Lord use you. Amen.

  1786. B, god gives grace the humble,

  1787. but judgment or he resists the crowd.

  1788. Look what happened to

  1789. Abi.

  1790. See, you reap what you so, Amen.

  1791. Galatians chapter 6 verse 7.

    Galatians 6:7

  1792. To be not deceived. God is not mocked.

  1793. He that sow the flesh from the flesh

  1794. reap what

  1795. destruction. But if you're shown to the flesh

  1796. living for your flesh and to reap destruction,

  1797. but he so the spirit from the spirit,

  1798. reap, eternal life d.

  1799. Don't be overly ambitious, but wait on the

  1800. lord.

  1801. Jesus said in Matthew 23 12, whoever ex

  1802. himself will be humbled and whoever humble himself

  1803. will be exalted.

  1804. Psalm 75 versus 05:57

  1805. says that

  1806. promotion or ex. Doesn't come from the east

  1807. of the west or from the south of

  1808. the desert, but it comes from the Lord.

  1809. Amen.

  1810. E,

  1811. God's judgment is not asleep.

  1812. Ask.

  1813. No don't ask him because not supposed to

  1814. talk to the dead. But Tony Cakes. Okay?

  1815. Abi.

  1816. His judgment comes. Long fellow once said the

  1817. mills of god's justice turned slowly.

  1818. But eventually, they ground with to to refine

  1819. powder. God's judgement. Judgment and others will be

  1820. ex. They grind slowly that they grind seal

  1821. fine. He said.

  1822. Brothers and sisters,

  1823. g or f

  1824. I'll say is

  1825. pray

  1826. for those who are leading us, same amen.

  1827. Pray for the leaders of our countries that

  1828. they fear God.

  1829. Amen, that they serve God. Pray that God

  1830. will saw leadership that does fear him and

  1831. love him, Amen, but recognize openly, we only

  1832. serve Jesus. Amen. And those who align with

  1833. him. And we only... And we obey Laws

  1834. land and when the laws land contradict the

  1835. Law of God, we obey god's word way

  1836. above the La land. Amen?

  1837. And lastly G,

  1838. Proverbs 18 10.

  1839. The name of the lord is a strong

  1840. tower.

  1841. The righteous want run into it and they

  1842. are safe. Amen,

  1843. run to Jesus.

  1844. The name of the lord is a strong

  1845. tower the tower represents Jesus. Amen. He's our

  1846. strong tower. Have you run to Jesus yet?

  1847. Because outside of the strong tower, you will

  1848. be consumed

  1849. by the fire.

  1850. But their safety in Jesus. And when you

  1851. come to Jesus, guess what. Your name is

  1852. written in heaven, you are in heavenly places

  1853. amen, You are the bride of Christ. You're

  1854. 1 with the bride, the woman so to

  1855. speak. You're the the the bride of the

  1856. Lord, Amen, and we'll come back 1 day.

  1857. Those who've died in Christ will come back.

  1858. We'll meet them in the era on their

  1859. way down to defeat the Antichrist in his

  1860. kingdom.

  1861. It's all beautiful powerful for you with me

  1862. tonight or today. It's not nighttime yet. It's

  1863. almost nighttime.

  1864. I know as long as it's like, 57

  1865. verses, plus we looked at a little bit

  1866. chapter 8, you know, but we got through

  1867. it. You know? And I was happy that

  1868. we did.

  1869. Guess what. If you're in the strong tower,

  1870. if you're are in Christ,

  1871. The Bible says for those who are in

  1872. Christ. If you're in Jesus, either height nor

  1873. depth or principal or power, and no other

  1874. created thing is separate you for the love

  1875. of god, which is the christ Jesus, including

  1876. Satan. Including the out antichrist. Your safety is

  1877. in Jesus. Make sure you are putting your

  1878. trust in him. No 1 separates with love

  1879. God which is in Christ Jesus, make sure

  1880. you're in him through faith. Amen.

  1881. And you're trusting him and just abide in

  1882. him. Stay in Jesus. Amen.

  1883. Praise God what awesome God. We. Can we

  1884. all please stand?
