Do you know the Bible is God's Holy Word? Do you know it is
-
inspired, in errant, and infallible? If so, like, share,

-
Nigh. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program. We are
-
your host, Jose and Matthew. Today. For this special session, we're
-
going to cover something that probably nobody is expecting, and I certainly wasn't expecting
-
it. However, it is going to be quite refreshing to see what the
-
Lord, our God has planned for us to be talking about American Christians and
-
our role as locked. So everybody might want to get to Genesis chapter thirteen,
-
verse ten, But before we do that, we need to get out
-
of this deep dark code we're in and pray us out into the light.
-
So Jose, you want to pray or you want me to sure I can
-
promothe you. Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for allowing us to come
-
together. I thank you for opening the time in Matthew's family and my family
-
to be able to sit down today for an hour, take a pause,
-
take a seilah moment, to read your word and to try and understand what
-
you're telling us in these upcoming chapters. Lord, we asked that the Christians,
-
the body, the Ecclesia that listens to this, that they take it
-
to heart, that they hearken your words, Lord, and that you soften
-
their hearts and allow them to do what they're supposed to do as good god
-
fearing Christians. Lord, and we asked that you help us to continue to
-
be fruitful, to continue to be a live issue, and increase your flock.
-
Father, and we ask all this in the name of your son Jesus
-
Christ. Amen, Amen and amen Amen to that, Amen and amen.
-
May we be a living issue. Well, Jose, you're going to have
-
to bring us all up to speed because this is a very strange place for
-
us to go. I wasn't expecting it, but I anticipate God's doing in
-
it. So what's this all about, Well, Matthew, this is kind
-
of following up on our episode that we did the Population Bomb, where we
-
kind of discussed the world demographics, the upcoming changes in the world economy what
-
that means for various different nations. But one of the areas we touched on
-
was our situation here in the Americas. How we are in a little bit
-
better situation for a number of reasons, but the main one being that currently
-
in the world, the most fertile area in the world is that Mississippi River
-
Valley area, that watershed that feeds all of our farms in the Midwest,
-
right, and that I mean, I don't even know how many states it
-
covers, how many rivers flow into that into the Mississippi River, but all
-
that all that water is what feeds our agriculture. It's what replenishes our aquifers.
-
So and that when I started thinking about that, certain verses started coming
-
to mind. But before I get into that, Matthew, the reason why
-
that area is so fertile is because of rainfall. Now, I was not
-
able to track down numbers just and can compare what the rainfall is, you
-
know, with with different regions around the world. But I'm just going to
-
bring up the flooding from the past one hundred years, and I'm just going
-
to lift the list off dates just so we can understand the amount of precipitation
-
that drops in this area. Okay, so this is all involved in the
-
Mississippi River, all right. There was a great flood of nineteen thirteen,
-
a great flood of nineteen twenty seven, nineteen thirty seven, nineteen forty five,
-
nineteen sixty five, nineteen seventy three, nineteen seventy five, nineteen seventy
-
nine, nineteen eighty three, nineteen ninety three, two thousand and two,
-
two thousand and eight, twenty eleven, twenty fourteen, twenty seventeen, and
-
twenty nineteen. Matthew, All that flooding comes from the amount of rain that
-
falls on that river and it overflows. Okay, So all that rain,
-
all that precipitation, as well as the snow that falls in the northern area
-
and then makes this way down the bound to the to the Mississippi Delta,
-
that that serves to fill those aquifers, Matthew. And when it's there's no
-
rain, those aquifers are what provide irrigation for all the farming in that area.
-
Okay. So you know, normal American Christian thinking, Matthew, is
-
that this is God blessing us, which it is. He's blessing us with
-
rain. Amen. Okay, But the reason why we're being blessed sometimes Christians
-
will say, well, because we're a Christian nation and we're doing what God
-
wants us to do. Therefore, he's blessing us with this fertile area.
-
Okay, So that's normal thinking, Matthew. But as I began to ponder
-
it a little bit more, certain verses started coming to my thoughts and stook
-
me to the core. Okay, because I've read my Bible, Matthew,
-
and I know that God doesn't make it easy for his people. Okay,
-
the chosen people right are right now in Israel. Okay, that's not a
-
very hospitable place, Matthew, whether it's the neighbors that Israel has, whether
-
it's the environment. It's a desert, okay, right, So God's not
-
given his people choice property there. Okay, this is where they've got to
-
work, and they've got to through their faith. God's gonna bless them.
-
That's what he's told us, right, He's not gonna make it easy for
-
us. Okay. So that's right. So that's you know, these are
-
the thoughts that are entering in my head. So I had one verse that
-
I came and I'll read the verse right now, but I want to read
-
the a couple of stanzas that encompass it. But I'll just read the one
-
verse, right Now Genesis thirteen ten, which you've already mentioned, lifted up
-
his eyes and saw that all the value of the joy, that it was
-
well watered everywhere. This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like
-
the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt. As you go
-
to Zor so a Lot chose for himself all the valley of the Jordan,
-
and Lot journey eastward. Thus they separated from each other. So, Matthew,
-
that verse has shooken me to the court, because Abraham didn't get the
-
well watered valley, Matthew, when it was his right to take everything.
-
Amen, Now let's let's start out from there. He didn't have to give
-
nobody nothing. So that's that's where this starts with me. He didn't have
-
to give anything, so out of the you know, grace, out of
-
Abraham's grace, he afforded this to his nephew Lot. Right. And really,
-
you're really grossly talking about you and I, Jose, because you know,
-
doesn't matter if I'm an American and you're an American, and you know
-
Thomas German and you know Dick is French. We surely are not Jewish,
-
are we? No? So we really have been ingrafted into this vine by
-
grace. Amen. Amen. So this really drives it home to me because
-
when when I hear it, I understand, I'm immediately able to imprint this
-
upon myself that I am locked. Yes, I am, you are absolutely
-
locked. We were not born in Israel. We were not born in any
-
Jewish can comunities, were we, Jose? No, So this this should
-
make it pretty personal when you know what's actually being stated. It's it's really
-
personal, and not only that, it's pure prophecy. So I absolutely agree
-
that this should have bothered you, Jose, even if you do really didn't
-
understand what it was talking about. We all know this subconsciously that we Jesus
-
told us we ain't di vine. We're Zion branches. Now. Now by
-
that, let me stake this not z io win, No, it's it's
-
it's not spelled that way. It's s c io win as Zion branch,
-
ladies and gentlemen, is a branch from a different tree or plant that's ingrafted
-
into another tree or plant. So that's called a Zion branch. That's what
-
we are. We are not g He told us up front, Jose,
-
you better cross your t's and dot your eyes because if you think the Lord
-
your God was harsh with the promise, you better make sure and know in
-
your heart he's going to be harsh with you. Amen. Amen. So
-
yeah, to me, it's I understand what you're saying. It's really personal,
-
it really is. It almost doesn't seem fair, Matthew. You know
-
when I when I was a child reading my Bible, uh, and I
-
saw all the promises God made to Abraham and everything he says about the about
-
the Holy land, right, the land of milk and honey, That's not
-
what I saw. Uh. And I saw that in other places around the
-
world, and then I saw it here in the US, and it just
-
doesn't It's like, wait a minute, God gave all these promises to them,
-
Why why do we have these blessings and they do not. So already
-
I was already seeing that there was there was an imbalance there, and so
-
you know, this is just a little bit more of an explanation of why
-
there's that imbalance there. Yes, agreed, Agreed. Naturally, if you
-
become a Christian, you begin to read the Bible, it is your natural,
-
your natural you know, inclination to root for Israel, right, you
-
can't speak like right now. I assure you, Jose, I'm only here
-
for one reason, just one. I have no way to get to Israel
-
and live where Jesus lived, because I assure you I don't give a flying
-
rip about this place, the place next door, the place that I don't
-
care. I assure you I don't care. My wife will be the first
-
to tell you that you better hope math you don't win the lottery, because
-
if he does, he will literally abandon everything and I will go to the
-
Promised Land. It's just natural for me because I am intimately familiar with God's
-
work, so I escape it. I can't escape it right, So subconsciously
-
it kind of puts you on edge when you know that that this isn't our
-
place, right, It's just not but yet where the Promised Land is.
-
Literally it's look, I can qualify this. Everybody knows that I've actually contracted
-
work in synagogues. I have the secret access code to many Jewish homes.
-
I have the secret access code to get into people's houses that own multiple banks.
-
And I'm telling you that I've spoken to them intimately about this. They're
-
afraid to go to Israel, Jose, They're afraid they don't because people just
-
don't get it. They're literally attacked every day, the terrorists attack them every
-
day. But most Americans don't know that. You're not told that. That's
-
hidden from the news. So it really it doesn't set well with me.
-
Why are we called the land of plenty? Why is that? And we
-
are there is no consternation to it. Oh, yes we are. And
-
it's just not right. It just doesn't set well. It just doesn't set
-
right with me. Right, Matthew, the amount of natural resource that we
-
have available here in the Americas, the rest of the world could fall off
-
the planet and we could self sustain. We have enough energy, enough oil,
-
enough coal. Okay, we have enough fertilizers available. You know,
-
you can grow just about anything in the Americas. You know that. And
-
I mean how much cattle is in Texas, Matthew, you know how much
-
it's It's more than they could possibly ever need. I've lived both in and
-
I've lived in North Dakota. Guess what, The cows out number the people
-
right, easily, right, easily right. So when you read the Bible
-
and you realize the people that had those blessings they're not always on the on
-
the right side of the of the coin in biblical stories. Okay, those
-
that that have that have an overabundance, Okay, and there's certain there's not
-
one times when Israel had over abundance, inevitably they would fall into their sin.
-
Okay, it's maybe it's a natural process. You know, you get
-
full of yourself, you get arrogant, you think that you have a right
-
to all these blessings, and so you forget that it was God that provided
-
to them to you, and so naturally you fall into these into these areas,
-
right into this wickedness. So I want to read the first couple of
-
stands as a Genesis thirteen. Matthew, and I want the listener just to
-
have an ear for what we're going through here in the Americas and and historically
-
and also currently, and just see what kind of things we can tie together.
-
I'm gonna call this, I know you and Aaron do do Christian conspiracy.
-
Matthew, I'm gonna call this Christian coincidence. Okay, if we're lucky,
-
it's just a coincidence. If not, Matthew, God's God's telling us
-
a whole lot more here okay, all right, So I'm going to start
-
in Genesis thirteen. I'm reading out of the NASB nineteen ninety five and verse
-
one. So Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev, he and his
-
wife and all that belonged to him, and Lot with him. Now Abram
-
was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. He went
-
on his journeys from the Negev as far as Bethel, to the place where
-
his tent had been at the beginning between Bethel and Ai, to the place
-
of the altar which he had made there formerly. And there Abram called upon
-
the name of the Lord. Now a Lot, who went with Abram also
-
had flocks and herds and tents, and the land could not sustain them while
-
dwelling together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to
-
remain together. And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the
-
herdsman of Lot's livestock. Now the Canaanite and the Perizite were dwelling then in
-
the land. So Abram said the Lot, please, let there be no
-
strife between you and me, nor between my herdsman and your herdsman, For
-
we are brothers. It is not the whole land before you please separate from
-
me. If to the left, then I will go to the right.
-
If to the right, then I will go to the left. Lifted up
-
his eyes and saw all the valley of the Jordan, that it was well
-
watered everywhere. This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the
-
garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as you go to
-
Zoar. So Lot chose for himself all the valley of the Jordan, and
-
Lot journeyed eastward. Thus they separated from each other. Abram settled in the
-
land of Canaan, while Lot settled in the cities of the valley and moved
-
his tents as far as Sodom. Now the men of Sodom were wicked exceedingly
-
and sinners against the Lord. So Matthew I started reading that, and I
-
immediately thought about how the Americas were colonized. They were running out of room.
-
In Europe, you had all the major landholders that already had the prize,
-
the prize territories, and as as the empire, colonial empires expanded and
-
they got to these wide open places in order to encourage people to move there
-
and to alleviate some of the burden in Europe of overpopulation. Right, they
-
said, hey, come out here, you know, grab your grab your
-
place, grab your land. It's you know, it's it's a it's a
-
land of milk and honey, a land of plenty. Help us colonize this
-
area so that we can access its resources and deliver them back to the to
-
the king in their in their European colonial headquarters. So that's the first connection
-
I made there reading that, Matthew, And that is obvious. Yeah,
-
people want to think that this is a Christian nation and that's why we come
-
here. No, it's not the aforementioned reason which you just read. What
-
you just mentioned. This is the documented fact. This is how we got
-
here. We got here just exactly as you describe, and just exactly as
-
Locke saw with his eyes. It was a land of plenty, like the
-
Garden of God. Right. Amen. Most importantly, it was undisturbed.
-
It was. Yeah, it's gut wrenching when you realize. Now, also
-
take note that it was already occupied, right. Yes. Now, unfortunately
-
people normally ignore this, but take note it stated that it was already inhabited.
-
Yes, and this is exactly what happened here in the Americans. Amen,
-
Amen, it was already inhabited by what, of course is infamously called
-
the Native Americans. And just so everybody knows, the Native Americans did not
-
speak French, English or Spanish. I hate to reign on your party,
-
the Native Americans did not speak Spanish, English or French. So this is
-
what's kind of disturbing. How it makes this this this statement here and just
-
kind of leaves it there. It doesn't mention it anymore, right, and
-
just kind of leaves it. So, Yeah, it's it's disturbing when you
-
have ears that can hear in certainly eyes that can see. This is so
-
much like Moondus novus. It's disturbing. This is just like the New World.
-
And so and so Matthew, who would play the role of lot if
-
we were comparing the two scenarios, right, So, immediately right off the
-
Batmtthews. As the colonial Empire started to colonize the America's, right, you
-
had various Christian denominations that came along with them, right, you had the
-
Catholic missionaries, but the Spanish and the French. You had the pilgrims that
-
came in into the Northeast. I mean, you could probably elaborate more on
-
that, Matthew. The different dominant Christian dominations that started to come to the
-
Americas to escape religious prosecution in Europe and establish themselves here so they would have
-
freedom of religion. I mean, that's that's an historical fact, correct.
-
Now. You know, I have no idea what were these Christians, where
-
their faith was, or how strong it was, whether they were theologically based
-
or not, you know, but I can tell you that they saw themselves
-
as being God's people here in America, and I would correlate them with lot.
-
That's that's what I would do. Absolutely, I would absolutely do the
-
same. Yes. So if we're going to follow that line of thought,
-
Matthew, then we get to verse thirteen where it says the Menasodom were wicked
-
exceedingly and sinners against the world. And so that's the other thing that we
-
have to take into account, all of our heart try, all of our
-
sins, all of our wickedness that the New World has exported to the rest
-
of the world, Matthew, exceedingly. Yes, we have exceedingly exported our
-
wickedness to the world. Yes we have. The last time I checked the
-
number of countries that we were occupying with staggery, I just I couldn't believe
-
it. Our footprint on the world is unparalleled, Jose, It's unparabaled.
-
Right. The United States of America has exceedingly exported our sins globally. Yeah,
-
we have. That's kind of disturbing, right, Matthew. If we're
-
a Christiation, we're blessed by the Lord with all these all this abundance,
-
and this is what we're returning. Yeah, it is disturbing. And the
-
problem is is that people don't want to hear this in the American Church.
-
They don't want to hear it. They just don't want to hear it.
-
And if you can't see the correlation, I don't even I don't even know
-
what to tell you. It's common knowledge that the United States has military deployment
-
in well over half of this planet. It's unparalleled, and people just don't
-
get it right. So I'm going to read a couple more verses about sodom,
-
Matthew, and see see how that relates to what we're talking about.
-
Jumping over to Ezekiel sixteen, verse forty nine and fifty Beild. This was
-
the guilt of your sister's sodom. She and her daughters had arrogance, abundant
-
food, and careless ease, but she did not help the poor and needy.
-
Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before me. Therefore I removed them
-
when I saw it. Harsh words, Matthew ay Man, give it to
-
me square, Give it to me right in the chest, both barrels.
-
Just just take it and just push it right into my sternham Jose, and
-
pull both triggers. That's how I want it, because what you stated prophetically
-
is exactly the truth. Because how many churches support abortion? Right now,
-
Jose, don't lie. How many churches support this? This? What do
-
you even call it? It's it's not it's not gay rights. It's it's
-
just turned into an abomination. It's lbgq x Y elemental. You know,
-
it's just an abomination. So we're not talking about gay rights. It's way
-
beyond that. It's it's abominable, Okay. And I've been stressing this.
-
God has really been impressing this upon me. And I'm gonna say it again.
-
I know I said it the other day if you're going to a church
-
that does not evangelize and does not support the needy, you need to leave
-
because when God the Father gets here, you're going to be the short end
-
of the chain. He's gonna jerk. I'm just I'm just just telling you.
-
So everything you just stated is chilling in relationship to knowing that I'm the
-
equation of Genesis chapter thirteen. We've truly cast our Lot with Lot and not
-
Abraham. In every way, shape and form, we are not Abraham,
-
and everything that's working out that's gonna work out with Abraham. Because remember,
-
this was pure prophecy. If you're reading the Bible from cover to cover,
-
this is pure prophecy. And people don't understand the prophecy. How could Genesis
-
chapter thirteen, verse ten not be prophecy. Ladies and gentlemen, you need
-
to read it, okay, because it hasn't happened yet. Lot lifted up
-
his eyes and saw the valley of the Jordan. What does Jordan mean?
-
Descent means to descend that it was well watered everywhere. This was before the
-
Lord destroyed Sodoman Gomurrah, like a garden of the Lord, like the land
-
of Ea as you go to Zohor. This is pure prophecy. Leg everything
-
in this verse is pure prophecy. Remember, this event doesn't happen into Genesis
-
chapters. You know seventeen eighteen nineteen. This is prophecy. And if you
-
didn't understand that this was prophecy, God was telling you what was to come.
-
I don't know. I don't know what to tell you, because if
-
we are the prophetic side of this coin of lot, I think we should
-
expect this place is in for a destruction. And I just need to relay
-
everybody the math. You don't have to like the math. You can look
-
this up. The best place to do so is probably the CIA website.
-
You need to understand that the New World comprises one third of this planet yet
-
does now take note, you're gonna have to do the hard light work.
-
You got to throw in Cuba and all the islands once you add up all
-
the land on this side of the planet. Yes, it is one third,
-
and yes, the Book of Revelation states that one third of this planet
-
is going to get Nukedjose, So let me pull a few more verses about
-
Sodom. I'm jumping over to Second Peter, chapter two, and we really
-
need to read the whole chapter, but I'm just going to read a few
-
verses. I'd encourage everyone to read it on their own to understand what God's
-
talking about here. But I'm going to start at verse six. And if
-
he condemned the city to the Simon go more to destruction by reducing them to
-
ashes, having made them an example to those who would live on godly lives
-
thereafter. And if he rescued righteous lot oppressed by the sensual conduct of unprincipled
-
men, for by what he saw unheard that righteous man, while living among
-
them, felt his righteous soul tormented day after day by their lawless deeds,
-
then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation and to keep the
-
unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who endose the
-
flesh in its corrupt desires and despise authority. And again this old chapter,
-
Matthew, just like you said, is it to you right in the chest.
-
But for time's sake, I'll just read those verses there, and they
-
are enough, that is for certain. The verses that you read is enough.
-
So you know, I hate to bring this up, but God literally
-
directly speaks about this and talks about this in the Apocalypse of Isaiah. Nobody
-
has to like it, but everybody might want to take a read of Isaiah
-
chapter thirty four. Amen, Jose, Amen, because things well, I
-
am thankful for this before these things happen. I am thankful that if we
-
are accredited to Lot, at least we know we're going to be taken to
-
a place that's prepared before this place gets leveled. Amen, Hose Amen,
-
Amen, Matthew. That is refreshing. It's refreshing to know. And I'll
-
go ahead and do this sliping a bonus. I had somebody send me a
-
question about the program that me and Joe just did. Yes, ladies and
-
gentlemen, the elders around God's throne, they sing a new song and that
-
song creates protective bubble around us. Do you want more information? Go listen
-
to that last broadcast that I did with Joe entitled The Silence, the Saints
-
and the Time Stream. So I'm thankful for that. And this place is
-
going to be little right whatever that means. God's going to take out the
-
whole place, but we're going to be protected. Amen. And then we're
-
going to be taken to our own place, correct, right? So amen
-
and amen and amen. This this cuts me to the quick. And you
-
know it's funny how exactly what he stated of Lot is my condition right now.
-
I am tormented by the wickedness that goes on around me. I assure
-
you you can call me boy. I need to wait. You know what,
-
I'm provoked. That ain't good. I'm not gonna say anymore. I'm
-
an American because I have to be here, Jose, do you understand me?
-
Right? Yes, I'm not here. I'm not here voluntarily. I
-
am not a part of these God haters voluntarily though I'm not. That's all
-
I'll say. So if we're a lot here in the America's Matthew, I
-
think the law God kind of explains our role a little bit. If we
-
jump over to Genesis chapter nineteen, and I'm gonna read the first verse.
-
And there came two angels to Sodom at evening, and Lot sat in the
-
gate of Sodom, and Lot, seeing them, rose up to meet them,
-
and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground. Now you've made
-
the comment before, Matthew, what Lot's name means and what that means for
-
us, So if you would elaborate for that just a little bit, please,
-
Lot's name in Hebrew means veil. A lot of people that know the
-
king JV. That's the best way to translate it to me. It means
-
to cover. It means the veil. And this is what we're supposed to
-
be doing for America. Christians are supposed to be covering America. We're supposed
-
to be America's covering exactly what is just described about job. He was sitting
-
in the gate, covering the city most importantly, with prayer. We are
-
to be the salt of the earth, Amen, Jose, Amen, Matthew.
-
What happens when you lose your saltiness? Jose, you lose your flavor,
-
You get thrown out. You're going to get what you got coming,
-
right, Amen, You're gonna get what you got coming. So everybody needs
-
to realize that that Genesis chapter nineteen opens up perfectly. This is perfectly how
-
it should have opened up. Lot was pleading the Lord's kates right in the
-
city gate, and we obviously aren't doing that. Jose, No, no,
-
we're not. Matthew. He knew what would happen when those two angels
-
entered the city, and so he was there to stop any shenanigans before they
-
happened. He was doing his darnness to keep the city of Sodom from sitting
-
prayer, like you said, through actions, by taking the angels into his
-
home, trying to prevent disaster, trying to prevent He was literally standing in
-
the gap, Amen. He was securing the breach in the wall. He
-
was doing absolutely everything he could to prevent the inevitable from happening. This is
-
exactly the opposite, the polar opposite of what the church is doing today,
-
right right, I mean, we've gotten to the point via circumstance. What
-
I'm getting ready to say, Jose's true. This is true. We are
-
to the point in history the government has ordered churches to close due to circumstances,
-
and they did it. We are in a new world since twenty twenty,
-
right, Hose. But what I am saying is true, this is
-
non debatable. We're to the point now that that means, Jose, you're
-
a slave in Egypt. That's what that means. Yes, and this is
-
exactly not yet, keep reading and it's going to happen. Lot's gonna figure
-
out who's in charge, because they're getting ready to show up at he's house
-
and lock him in that house. They're gonna put him under quarantine. Amen.
-
Amen. They're gonna quench the spirit. Amen. Amen. They're going
-
to to sterilize the body of Christ so that it cannot bear fruit. Amen.
-
Amen. Matthew, this is what has been done. You cannot deny
-
it. What blows me away is after the government said okay, you can
-
go back to church, now people actually went back to those churches. And
-
I'm here to tell you you will play your part in this story. I
-
don't know if Jose's going to cover it or not, but you are represented
-
in this story. Now. I'm not gonna call her a daughter of Sodom.
-
I've spoken enough, so I didn't go in that direction. Matthew.
-
I know what you're talking about, and yes, it's very that needs to
-
be studied out. But where it took me next was to where Sodom shows
-
up in Revelation chapter eleven. Amen. Amen. And I'll read this stanza
-
starting in verse seven, when they have finished their testimony, the beast that
-
comes up out of the abyss will make war with them and overcome them and
-
killed them, and their dead bodies will lie in the street. And the
-
great city which is mystically called Sodom and Egypt, where also their lord is
-
crucified. Those from the peoples and tribes and tons and nations will look at
-
their dead bodies for three and a half days and will not permit their dead
-
bodies to be laid in a tomb. And those who dwell on the earth
-
will rejoice over them and celebrate, and they will send gifts to one another,
-
because these two prophets permited those who dwell on the earth. Now,
-
Matthew, I can't help but relate these two witnesses, these two angels,
-
And I can imagine that the Sodomites would have wished that someone would come up
-
by the out of the Abyss and stop these two angels from doing what they
-
were doing to their cities. Amen. And then you read Revelation eleven,
-
and what was going on there? To me, it's the same thing that
-
I read in Genesis nineteen. It is the same thing. It's an inversion
-
of it, but yes, it's the same thing, right right, yep.
-
So let's let's read that. Let's try and understand it. Let's try
-
to see where God's drawing parallels for us so we can understand what was to
-
come. That's the whole reason he puts these these stories in the Bible.
-
It is for us to see what is to anymore callents on that chapter,
-
Matthew, Well, you know, I'm trying real hard not to get provoked,
-
because you know, the Gospel just can't be related in anger, can
-
it, Right? And unfortunately I've already stated the case. God's word was
-
quite clear that we are being tormented, right, Yes, a lot was
-
tormented at the wickedness he was having to endure. So that's why I'm out
-
of sorts because I am being tormented in this place. I've had it with
-
these god heaters. I've had it with them, and literally I've gotten to
-
the point where Psalm seventy three is manifesting in I'm I'm sick of them.
-
But I need to remember that that one lost sheep is still a field.
-
That one lost sheep is a field somewhere, and that's what we need to
-
concentrate on before this event happens. And knowing that these two were coming,
-
we need to be in that city gate keeping our eyes open for that one
-
lost sheep. That wanders right through the hole in the wall. Amen,
-
That one loss sheep that wanders right through the city gate, That one lost
-
sheep that wanders right into the breach, Amen, Jose, Amen, Matthew,
-
what what are they? Angels tell a Lot? They tell him,
-
is there any more of your family here? And right? Lot literally didn't
-
realize that. He could have stated everybody right, It was in his power
-
to save as many good people as he wanted to, but he didn't.
-
He was thinking too literally. But yes, you do know that Lot probably
-
did know some good people. And it's obvious he probably knew some good people
-
in the place where he fled. Right, right, Matthew. Right,
-
it says here, have you anyone else here, sons in law, sons,
-
daughters, or anyone you have in the city, Bring them out of
-
the place. Exactly what you just said, Matthew. It is these that
-
are within our power. If we just remember that people aren't Eskimos, they're
-
not Germans, they're not Africans, whatever you think they are. They have
-
the potential to become the children of the promise. Amen. Now, if
-
we would just realize that and get busy doing that and get away from all
-
the distractions, which it's pretty hard when the mass bulk of the American church
-
concerns itself with entertainment, it is pretty hard. But boy, Jose,
-
the hour is exceedingly late, yes, and you know that's why it's incorporated
-
into this story. You realize it says right here that as they were coming
-
out, the sun had came up. So literally, ladies and gentlemen,
-
it's saying that it was too late. The sun had already risen. So
-
you should realize that it's up to us to get as many as possible into
-
the last second. And if your church don't even put here, let me
-
ask a good question, Jose, the place where you live, there's more
-
than one radio station, right, yes, more than one that goes without
-
saying right. So any church where you're at, any church, I don't
-
care what it is, any church that has the resources should be putting advertisements
-
on those multiple radio stations in Russia shower right, right, Matthew, Yes,
-
I mean everybody knows basically, if you can afford one of the other
-
basically the other is from three to six, right, and then the other
-
one is in the morning. Of course, everybody knows it's it's three to
-
six. Yes, yes it is. Don't lie. So that being the
-
case, everybody probably needs to investigate. Or more importantly, every church has
-
a yearly financial meeting, right Jose, Yes they do. And if you
-
go there and they give you a little piece of paper, everything in your
-
church Pitt's money and there was no advertisement or evangel evangelizing, you need to
-
fear God and flee that place, just so you know, just so you
-
know. But newspaper advertisements are a lot less expensive. Make sure that you
-
understand what I'm saying. If your church doesn't have a lot of resources,
-
they need to do what they can do. But as proportion to your church's
-
resources, they should be advertising and evangelizing. Oh yes they should be.
-
I don't care how good their music is. I don't care how many instruments
-
are played on Sunday. I really don't care. And by the way,
-
neither do the angels. And you only need to realize this. I need
-
to watch what I say, Jose. Amen, Matthew, All right,
-
so I'm gonna jump to Isaiah chapter thirteen. Let me see how far I'm
-
okay. I will just read two verses, verses nineteen and twenty and Babylon,
-
the beauty of kingdoms, the glory of the Kaldeans, will be as
-
when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. It will never be inhabited or lived in
-
from generation to generation, nor will the Arab pitches tent there, nor will
-
shepherds make their flocks slide down there. And I'm just gonna keep reading,
-
man, No, no, I'm gonna stop, because we get it right
-
out of time. Everyone needs to read that whole stanza. Okay, I'm
-
just gonna stop right there for now, Matthew. All right, So,
-
because that takes me over to Revelation chapter eighteen, and it talks about Babylon
-
falling, and what stands out to me here, Matthew, is there's two
-
angels talked about in this chapter. The first angel, first angel coming down
-
from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illumined with his glory,
-
and he says fallen fall in his Babylon the great she has become a
-
dwelling place of demons, and a prison of every young, clean spirit,
-
and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird. Okay, which is exactly
-
what Isaiah thirteen says. If I would have just kept reading. Okay,
-
and you have a second angel, Matthew, at the end of this chapter,
-
and let me jump down there. Then a strong angel took up a
-
stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, so
-
will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down with violence and will not
-
be found any longer. So again, Matthew, I mean to me,
-
that's that's Genesis nineteen. Exactly what we're reading there in that chapter is exactly
-
what I read in Genesis nineteen. Yes, exactly, yes, exactly,
-
yes, And I'm gonna have to say this, I'm want to mention it
-
again. This all happens for a reason. If you want to know what
-
that reason is, go to the Apocalypse of Isaiah and read Isaiah chapter thirty
-
four, because it states exactly everything that Jose just referenced. Yeah it does,
-
Yes it does. You don't have to like it, Yes it does.
-
So all these things are parallel, and they have tie tie ins one
-
to another. But everybody needs to be aware that what he just read in
-
Revelations chapter eighteen, it's gonna come true. And God even tells you why
-
it's gonna come true. He tells you why jose No, Matthew, I'm
-
just I'm just proposing, or maybe I'm just provoking the ecclesia to think about
-
this and to pray on it and to study on it. Okay, I'm
-
not saying, does saith the Lord. I'm just looking at all these parallels,
-
Matthew, and how close it hits the home. I'll just put it
-
that way. These verses hit way too close to home for my comfort.
-
That if we are in a well watered valley, then we are a lot.
-
And if we are a lot, then we are living in Sodom,
-
And if we are in Sodom, then we are in Babylon. And there's
-
not good things said about those places in the Bible. Matthew. It's not
-
even nope, imperative on us to act the way Lot did and be righteous
-
in the midst of all this, and to do what we're supposed to do
-
as god fearing Christians. Amen. I do want you to mention one thing,
-
though a Lot was given a place to go, right, Amen,
-
and all those who were with him, Amen, Amen, And that will
-
hold true? Well, yes, absolutely, ladies and gentlemen, this is
-
not your inheritance. I don't care if you like you know, football,
-
apple pie and Chevrolet. Oh, that's fine. Just don't get too attached
-
to it. Don't get too attached to it. We're Christians. We're not
-
Americans. We're Christians. We're not you know, South Americans. We're not
-
Colombians. We're not you know, we're not Spaniards. Okay, we're not
-
Libyans. We're Christians. So don't get attached to the ground under your feet.
-
Get attached to God's promises, because in the end, it is they
-
that remain, whatever that means, whatever that looks like, God's promises remade.
-
Don't get too attached to where you're at, because you're going somewhere and
-
it ain't here. I was, That's all I got, Matthew. You
-
know, you know, we could we could go on for two more two
-
or three more hours. But I think that's that's a nice chunk that we've
-
been off there, a good bit of study that we've left for the ecclesia.
-
So I hope it was fruitful. Indeed it was. It was for
-
me. I needed to hear it. That's why God stuck my foot in
-
my mouth there several times. Because we need to remember the promises and uh,
-
you know, that's the most important thing we can relay today, that
-
we are the children of the Promise, and that means something. And it
-
doesn't mean that America is a Christian nation. It just doesn't. I know,
-
everybody naturally presupposes that Italy must be a Christian nation because it's ran by
-
the Catholic Church. Right, no, right, no, no, it's
-
not. This world is in the hands of the kings of the earth.
-
And I am pushed to say this one more time. Everybody needs to read
-
Psalm seventy three if they're feeling tormented. Like lot was just had this the
-
other day talking with somebody. They were having an instance of road rage on
-
life's highway. And I understand that I do you know me, probably more
-
than most anyone who is under the poverty level for the United States and they're
-
a Christian, they're probably in torment at the evil that is being propagated in
-
their name, because let's face it, we all pay taxes, and ladies
-
and gentlemen, if you're not aware of the things that are being funded like
-
abortions, gay rights, transgenderism, I mean, right now, they're funding
-
ladies and gentlemen, your tax dollars is going for the poisoning and corruption of
-
your own food. I mean the FDA is actively poisoning you. You're actively
-
doing it. They actively know it. So if you are feeling yourself in
-
that place, please read Psalm seventy three. You need to come into God's
-
house. You need to entertain fellowship with his children, and they will put
-
your mind at ease. Do not be misled. Bad company corrupts good character.
-
Now more than ever, you should be getting entangled with the Ecclesia of
-
Christ. I know a lot of you have probably got lots of things you're
-
addicted to, like baseball, football, car racing, this, that,
-
the other. You need to start pulling out of those and getting into God's
-
children. Final comments Jose, or shall I go ahead and pray us out
-
of here? Please pray us out, Matthew. Dear heavenly Father, whom
-
we serve through the Lord Jesus Christ, your son, Father and our Savior,
-
Please fill us with your holy spirits so that we might be pleasing and
-
acceptable in your sight. O, Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer.
-
Thank you so much for this precious time that you gave Jose and I to
-
share your Word with your children, and I play that your children might be
-
blessed, whether it was here live or in the archive, whether in the
-
video or the audio. Please bless your children, Lord, and please prepare
-
us for what is to come once again. In the name of the Lord
-
Jesus Christ, your Son, we pray. Amen and Amen Amen. Until
-
next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless godspeed. Thank you for listening
