Do you know the Bible is God's Holy Word? Do you know it is
-
inspired, in errant, and infallible? If so, like, share,
-
subscribe and support this podcast. So we are Maranatha Ministries and now Reduction Draweth
-
Nige. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program. We're your
-
host. Jose and Matthew got a very big topic tonight because I've had an
-
influx of questions about this very thing, and I know it's probably not from
-
my regular listeners because just about all the messages said that they heard me on
-
a podcast, So I'm not sure where that's coming from, but it's probably
-
from my interview I did with Kenny c on his program The Rock. So
-
we're gonna take this, take some time and answer questions about it so everybody
-
gets a feel as to what the Bible is saying, kind of unclogging those
-
gears, because the Bible has a lot to say about what God means.
-
So in order to get to that, we better pray ourselves out of this
-
big dark hole we're in, because without the Holy Spirit's guidance, we're gonna
-
stay in this great, big hole of unknowing, this this chasm of uncertainty,
-
and that is not why God gave us his word. He gave us
-
his word to explain to us, not confuse us. So let us power
-
his prayer. Dear hemly Father, whom we serve through the Lord Jesus Christ,
-
your son and our Savior, please fill us with your holy spirit so
-
that we might be pleasing and acceptable in your psych Oh, Lord Dower Rock
-
and our Redeemer, thank you so much for this precious time that you've given
-
to me and home to come together with the ecclesia and try to edify your
-
children. And we ask your blessing upon whoever partakes of this program, whether
-
it's here in the live or in the archive, whether it in the video
-
or the audio, it is Jose and Mine's utmost request that you might bless
-
them and edify them. And it is in your Son's precious name we pray
-
the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen. Amen. All right. Jose,
-
You know I tried doing a video earlier, and I'm going to recap
-
that just a little bit for the people. Take note, ladies and gentlemen,
-
that in First Corinthians, chapter fifteen, particularly verses fifteen fifty one fifty
-
two and one Thesalonians, chapter four, it states to you in fhatically that
-
you're going to go through a change. Now, the problem here is is
-
that most people concentrate on what is not there. There is no destination for
-
the bride. That may even confuse some people. There's no destination mentioned in
-
these two chapters. For Christians, there's no destination. It makes it perfectly
-
clear that it is Christ that is in transition. He is in motion,
-
he is coming from heaven to the earth, and this meeting takes place as
-
soon as he crosses the threshold to your biosphere. That's exactly what the Greek
-
says. It doesn't say anything else. So with that in mind, especially
-
in one Dosum's chapter four, the final verse concludes with this comfort each other
-
without mentioning that you're going anywhere, because you're not. You're not going anywhere.
-
And this is why in the English it's very choppy, but the Greek
-
is very plain. You aren't going anywhere. That's why it mentions no destination
-
for you. You are at the location Christ is coming to you. When
-
He comes to you, you are changed in the twinkling of an eye.
-
So with that in mind, this can be very upsetting to people because this
-
would this would make people think, well, we know when that is.
-
We know what happens with the return to Christ. Every living creature, every
-
inanimate object knows when Christ, our King blasts through our upper atmosphere. Everybody
-
knows to everything, and everybody knows that. That's painfully evident in Revelation chapter
-
nineteen and twenty. There's no debating when Christ gets back. He doesn't do
-
it under the cloak of any secrecy. He come back with the bang.
-
The Bible never states anything else, never states no secret return. So with
-
that in mind, this can make people upset. You're setting there thinking to
-
yourself, so you're saying, we're gonna go through the tribulation. Well,
-
no, doesn't mean that at all. That's not what God says, and
-
what God says that's what's important. That's what's gonna happen. So if he
-
does make references to you not going through this great tribulation, there's nothing like
-
it. Christ states this emphatically in Matthew chapter twenty four. There's no event
-
like this in history. So yes, he was speaking iochronalle. Christ was
-
in Matthew twenty four. Because we do know that what he described did happen
-
in seventy eighty over the course of forty two months. Yes it did.
-
It started in sixty six at mid sixty six and last to seventy eight eight.
-
Yes, it last forty two months. So everybody knows that that time
-
in seventy eight was it was described there. But he stated that it would
-
be worse than any time in history, so we know he was speaking nicer
-
Cronley, this time is coming. That being the case, why are we
-
going to go through the Great Tribulation? Well, we will be alive and
-
we will remain into Christ's return. That doesn't, however, mean we're going
-
to be out there in the outer darkness. We're going to be We're going
-
to be in a place where all the judgments are are taking place. Doesn't
-
mean that at all. It means God's going to take you someplace, just
-
like he states in multiple multiple verses, multiple chapters, He's going to relocate
-
you. More importantly, he's going to segregate you, is what He's going
-
to you. He's gonna segregate you, and that means that for the duration
-
of that Great Tribulation, you're segregated. That's what he says. That's what
-
he means. So when his son returns, When his son returns, you're
-
here, You're within the atmosphere, you're within your biosphere, and he comes
-
to you. Because what does it state from the beginning a man will leave
-
his parents? Right? Jose? Yes? Does the devor say that the
-
woman will leave her parents? No, it says the man will leave his
-
parents and Bethoven to his wife. Amen. Amen. Do you think this
-
is going to happen any other way than that? No? No, no,
-
And God makes himself perfectly clear. God stays in heaven. Christ comes
-
back and he rules for a thousand years. Why God the Father is in
-
heaven? Correct? Yes, And at the end of that thousand year reign,
-
God come down and recreates everything right. Right, That's what he always
-
says. He doesn't say anything else. So can we prove that in the
-
Bible? Hoose? Yes, Matthew, most definitely. Hey, let me
-
ask you this. You're pretty familiar with the Old Testament text, I take
-
it. Yes. Are you pretty familiar with the first five books, that
-
is to say, the pentitouke, Are are you familiar with that? Yes?
-
How about the major prophets? Yes? How about the minor prophets.
-
Yes, okay, so can you tell me who, what where? When?
-
Chapter and verse where God describes that all of his children come and join
-
him in heaven. I don't see that, Matthew. I read about the
-
Lord gathering his people. I read about him that taking them to a place
-
that he's made ready, that he's prepared. But I do not read about
-
him taking any of of his any of us into heaven. Well, I
-
concur with that. There is no chapter verse you can go to where it
-
ever describes his church, his ecclesia, this great, big mass under the
-
heavens. And we must be talking about now you're talking about people. Let's
-
just be safe, let's be very conservative. Let's just use the numbers of
-
Christians since Christ till now. Would we be talking about millions? You must
-
be talking about billions, right, I mean, right now we got seven
-
billion. That ain't nothing. All the Christians from just the time of Christ
-
till now. You're talking about hundreds of billions, Yes you are. When
-
you add all those up, there is no mention of any sizeable group anywhere
-
going to heaven. The only thing you can target anyone that would presume to
-
aspire to do such things is very bad. That's of course that chapter in
-
Isaiah's Isaiah chapter fourteen, and it makes it perfectly clear that only your enemy
-
would aspire to ascend the heights of heaven, right right. And we're also
-
told in Genesis tent right, Matthew, when they're building the Tower of Babble,
-
they're trying to build it to heaven. And the Lord didn't like that.
-
No, he didn't like that at all. So let's see if we
-
can put some verses together. So I'm going to start this shendig Off.
-
You know, what does God's God say about his restored remnant. Let's go
-
to Isaiah chapter eleven, Verses eleven and twelve. This is pretty plain,
-
it's pretty to the point, and it makes itself best known because he states
-
right up front that he has done this again. So whatever he's going to
-
do the second time, you're supposed to know he's going to do the exact
-
same thing. Then it will happen on that day that the Lord will again
-
recover the second time with his hand the remnant of his people who remain from
-
Asiri Egypt, at those kush Elemshnar hey Man and from the islands of the
-
sea, and he will lift up a standard for the nations and assemble the
-
banished ones of Israel, and will gather the dispersed of Judah from the four
-
corners of the earth. Now, ladies and gentlemen, God was certainly not
-
trying to confuse you. He was telling you point blank range he has done
-
this before, and we know he did this. This is why the Book
-
of Exodus is written, right, Jose, Right, it's the whole point.
-
That's what it states. So you should realize what he's talking about.
-
The major crux of the event. This event happened at the crossing of the
-
Red Sea. Amen. Amen, that's when the event happened. That's when
-
this relocation happened. That's when he supernaturally stepped in divided them from us.
-
He segregated this right there, that's when we got segregated. There was them
-
and there was us. There was his children, there was everybody else.
-
There was Jacob, there was Esaul. God divided it and segregated them both.
-
You get this, You get this exact idea in well many chapters.
-
But take note, this is exactly what he says in Matthew chapter thirteen,
-
verse thirty. He comes right out and tells you. There. He states,
-
thus, allow both to grow, to gather until harvest. And in
-
the time of the harvest, I will see to the reapers. First,
-
gather up the tears and bind them in bundles. Now take note, they're
-
left in the field. This is the planet. Earth is the field.
-
Okay, let me say that again. First gather up the tears and bind
-
them in bundles to burn them up. But gather the wheat into my barn.
-
That's exactly what he just said. That's his intention, that's what he's
-
gonna do. So that's literally echoing the verses I just read, and that's
-
exactly what happened. You know, you'll take note there with the exodus,
-
this triggered massive events in Egyptian history because of course their army was laying at
-
the bottom of the sea. They were completely decimated, which loud for the
-
invasion and the incursion of the Hixos. Because they didn't have an army,
-
they were wiped out. So she will use this this type of phraseology in
-
reference to the whole planet again and again that yet at the same time,
-
I'm gonna take them out. So you should look for that too. Hose
-
your your thoughts. So the picture I keep getting, Matthew. And there's
-
lots of ways we could describe this, and lots of ways that the Lord
-
does in the Bible. But I keep being remembered when the Lord says he's
-
gonna gather us together like a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. Right,
-
That's that's the that's the phraseology that that I that I keep that coming
-
in my head today. And like I said, there's a million different ways
-
that the Lord says it in the Bible. And so yeah, when I
-
was, when I was a baby Christian, I admit there was some confusion
-
about you know, right where there's phrases talking about being led into captivity.
-
You read Revelation thirteen, and you're thinking, well do I have to do
-
go through that? You know, there's a little bit of confusion. But
-
again, like you just when you just went through in Matthew thirteen, and
-
when the Lord spoke about being a hen and gathering gathering his chicks, this
-
it just keeps repeating himself that he's gonna set aside a place for his people.
-
And just like you said in Exodus, in the Land of Goshen is
-
where his people were while Egypt was going through its plagues, and that,
-
to me is the biggest example for what the Lord has prepared for us.
-
And so once I finally understood all those verses, and then I came to
-
Revelation chapter twelve with the woman fleeing into the wilderness and being protected from the
-
dragon, it's just all made sense. It's just kind of all It all
-
follows a pattern for what he's going to do well exactly, and he states
-
that they're in Exodus chapter nineteen, verse four, I believe, let me
-
jump over there. If memory serves me correctly, I think it's verse four.
-
Yes, that's exactly what he says. You yourselves have seen what I
-
did to the Egyptians and how I bore you on eagles wings and brought you
-
to myself. So yeah, that in itself he refers to this as an
-
operation eagles Wings in Revelation chapter twelve, which you just mentioned, right,
-
And that's not the first time he mentions that. He states that there in
-
deuteronim chapter thirty two, verses eleven through twelve, literally states it just like
-
this, and he's talking about this is the Lord God, This is him,
-
and it stated in Isaiah chapter forty, verse thirty one. So he
-
states this many times that well, just like Matthew chapter thirteen is he stated
-
the reapers. There he called them reapers, and here he's using this angelic
-
symbology. And that's why I've always called this operation eagles Wings. That's what
-
he states, right, that's exactly what Revelation chapter twelve states. So absolutely
-
absolutely what you said. And it's got to be that way in no other
-
way. I mean, let's Isaiah chapter forty, verse eleven. Like a
-
shepherd, he okay, God's not trying to confuse you. This isn't Tom
-
Dick or Harry or Peter pauler Mary. Like a shepherd, he will tend
-
his flocks in his arms. He will gather the lamb, so here he's
-
using lambs and will carry in his bosom. He will gently lead the nursing
-
us just the same thing. Take note Isaiah chapter forty three, verses five
-
and six. Do not fear, for I am with you. I will
-
bring your offspring from the east and gather you from the west. I will
-
say to the north, give them up, and to the south, do
-
not hold them back. Bring my sons from Afar and my daughters from the
-
ends of the earth. Is that confusing to you, Jose, No,
-
that's pretty clear, Matthew. It's pretty straightforward. He just keeps going again
-
and again and again and again. Isaiah forty nine, verse eighteen. Lift
-
up your eyes and look around all of them. Gather together. They come
-
to you as I live, declares the Lord. You will surely put on
-
all of them as jewels and bind them on as a bride. Ladies and
-
gentlemen. There is no mistaking what he's doing. He himself is going to
-
gather you together. You should expect. Look Isaiah chapter fifty four, verse
-
seven. For a brief moment, I forsake, I forsook you, but
-
with great compassion, I will gather you. One thing should be noted here
-
before I go further, Jose. He's repeatedly saying gather right. Yes.
-
Did you hear him say change no? Like I stated before? First Krankians
-
chapter fifteen is quite clear. What Christ does. He changes us? Correct
-
correct First Thesalonians chapter four. Christ changes us and once again lady's them.
-
There's no there's no traveling involved, there is no destination given. I'm gonna
-
say it again. There's no destination for Christians in First Corinthians chapter fifteen or
-
First Thesalonians chapter four. There is no destination given because you're not leaving nowhere.
-
God is gathering you together someplace here on planet Earth. Somewhere he's preparing
-
a place. And that is to say, at least in creation. It's
-
somewhere in creation. He's making this protected place. Right, Jose, Right,
-
he is not changing as we are not well. The best way I
-
can put it is like I already put it, we are not being cloven
-
to Christ in that event. That's not what he's saying at all, not
-
at all. Let's stretched forward. Isaiah chapter fifty six, verse say the
-
Lord God, who gathers the dispersed of Israel, declares, yet others I
-
will gather to them, to those already gathered. So literally, take note,
-
ladies and gentlemen, the name Israel means whom God straightens because it begins
-
with a yacht. It doesn't begin with Sarah's name. Look at the Hebrew
-
when the word when the name Israel's given, it always begins with a yacht.
-
It comes from two Hebrew words to straighten and God's name l it means
-
whom God straightens. So literally, he's prophetically stating here that the Jews that
-
have become Christians and the Gentiles that have become Christian, they're all going to
-
come to one place, and by the way, they're probably going to be
-
surprised when they get there. Isaiah, chapter sixty, verse four, Lift
-
up your eyes round about, and see they all gather together. They all
-
come to you. Your son's coming afar, and your daughters will be carried
-
in the arms, ladies and gentlemen. He does not say. He is
-
not saying he's going to change you, Jose, Is it just me or
-
No, he does not say that, Matthew. And let's say this gathering
-
was to take place in heaven. Matthew, what would what would physically happen
-
to us if we were to enter Heaven in the state we are now without
-
being changed. I don't think. I don't think it would be a pleasant
-
experience for us. I don't think we'd make it past the threshold. No,
-
of course, you wouldn't make it. That's the whole that's the whole
-
reason we need Christ, right, that's the whole reason he has to change
-
us. That's the whole reason we have to become one with him, because
-
if we try to cross that threshold on our own, that's no go.
-
Well, the one serious problem you have, for it's one thing to be
-
like the Sons of Karrah. They entered Hades alive, right right, it's
-
a whole different ball game to enter the Lord, God of host chamber.
-
Because you're alive, you can't face him, Jose. Right, So I'm
-
just gonna tell you that up front. Don't ever try to get into heaven
-
because once you see his face, you're done. You will be obliterated from
-
creation. This is the whole reason why the only way you could face God
-
is if you've been clothing to Christ. Amen, you might the two must
-
become one flesh. Amen, Amen, literally speaking, Until you become one
-
with Christ, you're a dead man. The instant you see he who setteth
-
upon the throne, you're dead. You can't do that. Even Moses couldn't
-
do that. You understand, he had to turn his back and see God's
-
backside. God plainly said, you can't see my face or you will surely
-
die. Okay, so this is another mechanical problem you got there. Why
-
doesn't anybody talk about this, Jose, this is common knowledge that the living
-
cannot see he who set us upon the throne. That they can't or they're
-
God. Why isn't this ever talked about? Is this one of those elephants
-
in the room? I guess because after you read all the chapters. I
-
just pulled verses out of these chapters. You read those chapters. God,
-
lets you know what he's talking about. You're not you in any of these
-
texts? Does he mention? Does he mention the cherublem? Everybody knows about
-
the terrible entities in the Bible? Or maybe the Seraphim? Or are they
-
mentioned in these verse? No, Matthew, No, no they're not They're
-
not there. So listen, let's go to Ezekiel chapter thirty for I will
-
take you from the nations. Okay, let's look for a destination. What's
-
the destination? Does he say? Heaven? All right, write this down
-
Ezekiel thirty six, verst. Twenty four. What's the destination? For I
-
will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands, and
-
bring you into your own land. He is giving you a promised place.
-
He doesn't get did he just say that he was going to take you to
-
heaven. Jose, you know he did not, Matthew, he did not
-
even that. There was no hint of that anywhere in that verse, anywhere
-
in the chapter. Okay, let's try Micah chapter four, verse six.
-
In that day, by the way, this is the great day of Hugh
-
set up upon the throne. This is the day of the Lord. In
-
that day, declares the Lord, I will assemble the lame. Oh,
-
we got to We've got some trouble here. Ose, riddle me this.
-
Do you think that in a state of having a handicapped body, a defective
-
body, do you actually think you'd go to heaven and be lane? No?
-
No, that that's ridiculous, right, ridiculous, right, right?
-
Okay, So that's that's one of the biggest things that that every Christian talks
-
about, Right, Matthew, I've heard since I was a kid, you're
-
you're getting your your with Some people call it a resurrection body. Some people
-
call it you know you're perfect your your your perfected body. But either way,
-
there's no way you're any and it in heaven with any any dislise you
-
currently have. Right, And the proper English term for that is to use
-
the Greek word anastasis. You're really talking about your anastasis anatomy. That's what
-
you're really referring to. That's what I refer to in written text whenever I
-
write, when I do documentations, I call it the anastatious and the anastasia
-
anatomy. It's the resurrection anatomy. That's not going to be lame. Let
-
me read the verse from start to finish, and that declares the Lord I
-
will assemble the lane and gather the outcast, even those whom I have afflicted.
-
And I'm sorry about that. Jose. You do realize that the Lord
-
he's God, right, Amen? And if you're blind, who signed the
-
order on that? God did? If you live, who signed the order?
-
Yep? The Lord your God. If you're lame, who signed the
-
order? Again? God? Because the Lord he is God? Amen.
-
Amen. So with that in mind, this is when people get into real
-
trouble in their escatology because they find it's not a systematic eschatology, especially when
-
they get to Isaiah chapter thirty five. Amen, Jose, Amen, Matthew,
-
yep. Because once again the Lord nips you in the bud Jose.
-
He takes whatever you're thinking, and he flushes that down the toilet, because
-
literally they're in Isaiah chapter thirty five, it is talking about the kingdom.
-
Matter of fact, could it be talking about anything else, Jose, No,
-
no, it's it's it matches exactly what we see at the end of
-
revelation. Yeah, you're, you're it's not talking about anything other than his
-
kingdom, and we're gonna talk about this. This is talking about No,
-
no, no, no, no no. This is talking about the return
-
of Christ. He differentiates himself, he who setteth upon the throne with his
-
vengeance, his vengeances, Christ his son. Picking it up in Isaiah chapter
-
thirty five, which is in the last chapter of the Book of the Apocalypse
-
of Isaiah, Verse four say to those with anxious heart, take courage,
-
fear not the hold your God will come with vengeance. The recompense of God
-
will come. This is Jesus. But he will save you. Then,
-
so not until the return of Christ, when you're clothing him, when you
-
go through the change, that's when this happens. Verse five. Then the
-
eyes of the blind will be open, and the ears of the death will
-
be instopped. Then the lame will leap like a deer in the tongue of
-
the newt shout for joy, Amen, jose Amen, Matthew. So if
-
there's a relocation event, you know that happens when the changing occurs. This
-
is literally saying that if this happens before the return of Christ, ladies and
-
gentlemen, I mean, what I just stated is the force. That's crazy.
-
Let's go to First Corinthians, chapter fifteen and let's take a look at
-
it. I know I've referenced it several times, but obviously I just need
-
to go and read it. When we go over here, this is when
-
this change happens. This is when it happens. Now, I say this,
-
brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, nor
-
does the does the perishable inherit the imperishable. But hold, I tell you
-
a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed.
-
There is no destination here. You are the destination. But we will
-
all be changed in the moment, in a twinkling of an eye at the
-
last trumpet. So this is Revelation chapter eleven, verse fifteen. For the
-
trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will
-
be changed. For this perishable must not put must put on the imperishable,
-
and the mortol must put on immortality. Everybody knows this. That's that's exactly
-
what we talked about, Matthew. That's exactly what said. So if this
-
happens before the return of Crash, we got problems. Let's go to first
-
Thessalonians, Chapter four, verse sixteen. Well, you know, let's let's
-
back it up a verse because we need to reference what he just talked about
-
verse fifteen. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord,
-
that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord,
-
will not proceed those who have fallen asleep, for the Lord himself will descend
-
from heaven with a shout at the voice of the archangel, and with the
-
trumpet of God. This is the last trumpet. Let me say that again.
-
This is taking place after Christ's coronation, and the dead in Christ will
-
rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together
-
with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so
-
we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore, comfort one another's with these
-
words. Take note this chapter does not end with the destination. You're not
-
going anywhere, because they just told you that listen, the dead in Christ
-
will rise first. Then we are alive and remain will be caught up together
-
with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Your biosphere
-
begins in the upper atmosphere, right, Jose, Yes, this is your
-
containment. In English this is very chopping, but in the Greek it's very
-
plain. There is no destination because you are the destination. Once Christ enters
-
your biosphere, you're changed. Once he enters your habitable zone, you're changed.
-
So with this in mind, if there was something before Revelation chapter nineteen
-
and twenty that is the return of Christ. When I just read that chapter
-
to you that stated it that way, that Christ is God's vengeance, it's
-
his recompense, and he comes to save us, and that's when he changes
-
our body. That's when we go through this change. Not a transport,
-
it's a change, Jose. Do you understand, ladies telling you it's not
-
a transport. There was no destination mentioned in First Corinthians chapter fifteen or First
-
Thatsalonians chapter four, because that's not what happens at his return. God is
-
very clear in every verse that we've read this is something different. On the
-
Great Day of He who setteth upon the throne. This is God, the
-
Father. He gathers us saw one oh six, verse forty seven. He
-
says it again, save us, o, Lord, our God, and
-
gather us from among the nations to give thanks to your holy name and glory
-
in your praise. You're going to be gathered. You're not going to be
-
transported. You're going to be gathered by he who setteth upon the throne on
-
the Great day of the Lord. The Great Day of the Lord is not
-
the perushia of Christ. It states that again any visions the first chapter,
-
verse ten, with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the
-
times. That is the summing up of all things in Christ, things in
-
the heavens and things on earth in Him. You'll take no revelation. Chapter
-
twelve mentions that there's a great war in heaven when Michael and the good angels
-
are gathered to him, right, Jose, all right, So the angels
-
gather, they have war and kick out the bad angels the same time that
-
we are gathered. These things are once you read the scripture in its totality,
-
they all make sense because it never changes. But one good thing that
-
we've brought up here in multiple verse is, ladies and gentlemen, if you're
-
getting raptured to heaven, you're going to be lame and handicapped until you return
-
back to heaven. So you're in heaven and you return with cross hest and
-
then you're changed once you hit the upperpp the upper atmosphere. Jose, does
-
that make any logical sense? No, it doesn't, Matthew. And let
-
me tell you the verse that caught my eye Ezekiel thirty six, verse twenty
-
four. Or I will take you from the nations, gather you from all
-
the lands, and bring you into your own land. Now, in Hebrew,
-
that's the Hebrew word out of Mah right h. One twenty seven.
-
Okay, But in Greek, Matthew, that's G. Ten ninety three,
-
and that's the Greek word again. Right, And let me tell you the
-
first verse that word shows up in. Let's see if you know where that
-
what this verse is, Matthew. In the beginning, God created the heaven
-
and the earth. Right, that's right. The word for earth is that
-
exact same word that's in Exekuel chapter thirty six, verse twenty four, so
-
it doesn't say eratos in the Greek Matthew, it says again the earth.
-
Yeah, and there is no possible way what the Greek is talking about is
-
some land in heaven. Right. No, No, it's not. It
-
can't be added tomologically speaking, it can't be in Greek or Free. That's
-
why I stated it very plainly. When you read First Corinthians chapter five and
-
First Tusalonians chapter four, it never gives a destination, Jose. It never
-
does because the changing happens here. And it stated it in Greek, very
-
very plainly. That's why you have to say it in the way that people
-
can understand it. It says, once Christ enters your biosphere, you are
-
changed. That's when it happens. So if you go to heaven first before
-
you enter into this change, you're dead, right, You're dead. You
-
can't do it, You just can't do it. So literally what is described
-
here, And take note he made several references to distress. Right, Yes,
-
so when you go to Matthew chapter twenty four, it makes sense because
-
the birth pains come first, Jose. Right, right, This is another
-
thing that the Bible always states. It always states you're in distress. You're
-
in distress before he relocates you. It always states that we just read it
-
from Isaiah chapter thirty five. He made himself perfectly clear that you were under
-
duress, and he gathers here. Once you're gathered some place, then the
-
tribulation is going on because God has done something right, right, He's done
-
something and it ain't good. It's not good whatever he's done. So that
-
starts the tribulation. And most people don't realize this is exactly what first Desalonians
-
chapter five says, Is it not, Jose, have we not covered that
-
before? Right? It comes right out and tells you the day of the
-
Lord comes first and starts the tribulation. And God himself, that is to
-
say, he who setteth upon the throne, he will he will protect your
-
somch psyche numa. That's verse twenty three. Don't look at it in English,
-
it won't do you any good. Look at it in the Greek.
-
It's so mis psyche numa. God himself will get you too, in your
-
trinitarian nature. This is why you're made in God's image, will get you
-
to the perusia Christ which is at the end of the chapter. Correct whose
-
correct literally if we read first les Loans chapter five, it really does tell
-
you everything you need to know. It tells you literally everything you need to
-
know, and that takes most people by surprise. I don't realize that.
-
But you're not going through the tribulation. But you're not going to heaven.
-
That's bad. What's gonna happen is God himself comes off his throne. Daniel
-
chapter seven once again tells you the complete timeline. Daniel Chapter seven tells you
-
that during these birth pains, there are these four beasts that rise up.
-
It tells you at the end of that, God himself gets up off his
-
throne and comes to earth. He gathers you together aheright. It is to
-
say, he gets his reapers to bind up all the bad people and leave
-
them in the field to burn, and gathers his children to his barn.
-
Now take note, the Apocalypse of Isaiah also calls this God's vineyard. He
-
also states in other chapters he refers to it us God's sheep fold or sheep
-
pen. Some translations just use fold. He says it multiple times in multiple
-
ways, but he states this again and again again. So you're going to
-
be inside God's barn until Christ comes back. You're gonna be in God's vineyard
-
protected. It literally says you're protected moment by moment, right, Jose,
-
we've recovered, we've covered that chapter. Yes, he says God will tend
-
his vineyard moment by moment and then Christ comes back. So we got about
-
fifteen minutes left, Jose. Can you jump over there to first Thessalonians chapter
-
five, Yes, I can. I know we've done this before, and
-
it's it's it's just something we gotta do. Uh. This is well,
-
this is this is twenty eight verses. Just blow through it. Just read
-
it straight through, all right, And I'm reading it out of KJB because
-
that's what I have pulled up here in this little program. So very good.
-
First Thessalonians Chapter five. But of the times and the seasons, brethren,
-
you have no need that I write unto you, for yourselves know perfectly
-
that the day of the Lord cometh as a thief in the night. For
-
when they shall say peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them,
-
as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape. But
-
you, brethren, are not in darkness that that day should overtake you as
-
a thief. You are all the children of light and the children of the
-
day. We are not of the night nor of the darkness. Therefore let
-
us not sleep as do others, but let us watch and be sober.
-
For they that sleep sleep in the night, and they that be drunken are
-
drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day,
-
be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a
-
helmet the hope of salvation. For God has not appointed us to wrath,
-
but to obtain salvation by our Lord, Jesus Christ, who died for us,
-
that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.
-
Wherefore, comfort yourselves together and edify one another, even as also you do.
-
And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labor among you
-
and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you, and to esteem
-
them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among
-
yourselves. Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly,
-
Comfort the feeble minded, support the weak, be patient towards all men.
-
See that none render evil for evil unto any man, but ever follow that
-
which is good. Both among yourselves and to all men rejoice evermore, pray
-
without ceasing, and everything gift thanks for this is the will of God in
-
Christ Jesus. Concerning you, quench not the spirit, despise not prophesyings,
-
prove all things, hold fast that which is good, Abstain from all appearance
-
of evil, and the very God of peace. Sanctify you holy. And
-
I pray God, your Holy Spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto
-
the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Babel is he that calls you,
-
who also will do it? Brethren, pray for us. Creet all the
-
brethren with the holy kiss. I charge you by the Lord that this epistle
-
be read unto all the holy brethren. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
-
be with you. Amen. So this chapter literally nips it in the bud.
-
It literally told you that the great day of the Lord, the great
-
day of you who sits upon the throne. Verse two. For you yourselves
-
know full well that the day of the Lord will come, just like a
-
thief of the night. He literally goes on to say that this starts the
-
tribulation right and at the end, make no mistake what the Greek says here
-
literally right here in verse twenty three. Now may the God of Peace himself
-
sanctify you entirely in your spirit, soul, and body be preserved. This
-
is how you're making it through this one two hundred and sixty day tribulation,
-
be preserved, complete without blame, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
-
This in Hebrews or in Greek says the Perusia, the perusia. This
-
is Revelation chapter nineteen and verse twenty or chapter twenty, the return of Christ.
-
There's literally no ground to stand on if you're saying anything else. Hose
-
right. It was simple. It cuts straight to the chase. He literally
-
told you, God the Father's going to do exactly what he stated in all
-
these verses about gathering that we stated that. We said, He literally come
-
right out and told you this is how it's going to be. It's not
-
going to be another way. So this is the answer to all of your
-
questions. You are not going to be raptured to heaven. You are going
-
to be relocated. God is going to gather you to a safe location somewhere
-
here in creation. When Christ gets back, you will be changed. Once
-
he enters your biosphere at the end of forty two months, at the end
-
of one thousand termed sixty days tribulation. That's what he always stated. There
-
is nothing else we can read from Jose that literally states anything else. I
-
mean, this idea of being raptured to heaven has always been propagated as a
-
secret event, right right now. Do you have any problems with a secret
-
event? Yes, Matthew, because the Lord God tells us what is to
-
come, He's not going to make it a secret. Well, I can
-
say this, I'll quote directly from him. This is proof beyond any shadow
-
of doubt. There is no secret event in eschatology. That is not systematic
-
eschatology. That's not what any verse says in the Bible. This is what
-
it says Amos chapter three, verse seven. Surely the Lord God does nothing
-
unless he reveals his secret counsel to his servants, the prophets. I'm going
-
to say one more time, if you've heard about a secret rapture to heaven,
-
it is existentially a bold face lie. There is no secret translation to
-
heaven. Ever, that's never what God says. There is no secret event
-
in eschatology. If you can't find a secret pre tribulational rapture in Isaiah,
-
Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, the twelve Prophets, the Psalms.
-
If you can't find it, it does not exist. Hose do you concur
-
with that? Yes? I do, Matthew. Is there any way theologically
-
speaking, you can get around Amos three to seven? No, Matthew.
-
The whole reason I believe Revelation chapter twelve is because what God has revealed through
-
his prophets throughout the whole Bible. That's the only reason I believe Revelation chapter
-
twelve, because it imagines exactly what He said before. And we certainly covered
-
quite a few of those verses here, right, So let us be quick
-
and let us be sure this is what we are saying. Beyond any shadow
-
of doubt. You can get the entire timeline from Daniel chapter seven. It
-
literally comes out and tells you everything, and even tells you when Christ is
-
coronated. It tells you when Christ is coronating that coronation hasn't happened yet.
-
Now this is hard for everybody to believe. But if He had been coronated,
-
ladies and gentlemen, why aren't you in the Kingdom of Heaven. Yet
-
when the verses I just read to you pointed out that literally he said at
-
the trump did he not say that? Jose? Yep, Well, where's
-
the last trump? Jose. It's Revelation chapter eleven, verse for fifteen.
-
Ain't it right? I mean, last I checked. We can go there
-
and read it, ladies and gentlemen. When does Christ get coordinated? Okay,
-
let me say it one more time, slowly. When you be reading
-
from the New American Standard Bible ninety five update, Revelation, chapter eleven,
-
verse fifteen, which is the seventh trumpet, I'm not lying to you.
-
Then the seventh angel sounded and there with loud voices in heaven saying the kingdom
-
of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ,
-
and he will reign forever endeavor. Now, of course you've got a problem
-
with this because after this comes seven bold judgments, right, Jose, or
-
some translation say vile judgments? Right? Correct? So did the Bible just
-
say that Christ got coronated seven judgments before his return? That's exactly what it
-
just said. Christ gets coronated right here, Then seven bold judgments are executed
-
while he's on his way to impact the late great planet Earth. I mean,
-
that's exactly what we go on to read and twenty four elders who sit
-
on the thrones before God fell in their faces and worship God, saying,
-
we give thanks to you, oh Lord, our God, the Almighty,
-
Who are and who were? Because you have taken your great power and have
-
begun to reign. Did he stutter, Jose, Nope, So he don't
-
begin to reign until his coronation in Revelation, chapter eleven, verse seventeen.
-
That's what I've just read. I'm not lying to you. Let's go on
-
to verse eighteen. And the nations were enraged, and your wrath came,
-
and the time came for the dead to be judged, and the time for
-
reward your bomb servants, the prophets and the saints, and those who feel
-
your name small and great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.
-
When does he do that? I keep saying it. Everybody knows when he
-
gets back. Everybody knows what happens when he gets back. It's Revelation nineteen
-
and twenty right, Jose, Yes, so he definitely wasn't stuttering here.
-
He literally made himself perfectly clear. If you go to Daniel chapter seven.
-
We don't have time to do it. I've only got six minutes. Well
-
wait a minute, I'm sorry the Lord, he's God, and i don't
-
know of anything better else I could be doing at the time, Jose jump
-
over to Daniel chapter seventh. Place. All right, So ladies and gentlemen,
-
take note that the birth Pains is when there's four beasts that arise on
-
this planet. Now take noe, They're not a single beast. These are
-
the literally stating. This is stating that these four writers gather together the entire
-
planet into four different groups. This is the birth Pains. This time ends
-
with the abomination of desolation. Now you can read about these four different beasts
-
that rise up, but they they form a single beast, and that is
-
described, of course writer here in verse eleven and twelve. But take note,
-
I'm going to start in verse nine. So after the birth Pains,
-
after the four writers, after these four beasts, after the Earth has been
-
divided into four great big kingdoms. Okay, this is what happened. God
-
does the six Seal event. All of a sudden, he gets back to
-
Heaven. That's about what he's getting ready to say. And he's not joking.
-
I kept looking until thrones were set up and the Ancient of days took
-
his seat. His vestiture was like white snow, and their hair of his
-
head was like pure wool. His throne was ablaze with flames. Its wheels
-
were burning fire. A river of fire was flowing and coming out from before
-
him, and thousands upon thousands were attending him, and myriads upon myriage were
-
standing before him. The court sat and the books were open. Then I
-
kept looking because of the sound of the boastful words which the horn was speaking.
-
I kept looking until the beast was slain and its body was destroyed and
-
given to the burning fire. As for the rest of the beast, their
-
dominion was taken away, an extension of life was granted to them for a
-
pointed period of time. He just told you what's gonna take place during the
-
one two hundred and sixty days between the time when he gets back to heaven
-
and takes his seat and then one thy twenty sixty days later. What happens
-
in verse thirteen. This is when the coronation happens. Once again. I'm
-
gonna say it slow. This coronation is in Revelation, chapter eleven, verse
-
fifteen. Yes it is. I kept looking in my night visions, and
-
behold with the clouds of heaven one like the son of Man coming, And
-
he came up to the Ancient of days and was presented before him. Now
-
listen, I pointed out to you exactly what verse seventeen of Revelation chapter eleven
-
stated. It's going to say the exact same thing right here. This is
-
when Christ is coronated verse fourteen. And to him was given dominion, glory,
-
and a kingdom, and all the peoples and nations in every language might
-
serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion and which will not pass away,
-
and his kingdom is one which will not be destroyed. Jose, Was
-
that clear your progression of chronological events? Yes, Matthew, it cannot be
-
debated with amen? Right amen. Was God trying to confuse you and Daniel
-
Chapter seven? No, he stated what he's always said. He literally rephrased
-
Matthew twenty four. So take note, ladies and gentlemen, you're going to
-
go through the birth pains. Then God the Father is going to show up.
-
He's going to gather you to a secure location he calls his barn in
-
Matthew, Chapter thirteen, he calls it his vineyard. Revelation. Chapter twelve
-
states it's it's a place that He's prepared for you. And one two or
-
ninety days, that span forty two months goes by, and then Christ gets
-
back. And once he punches through your biosphere, you go through the lagus
-
mathia and you're changed. And there in your biosphere, you will never be
-
separated from Christ. Ose, are you pretty clear on that? That's pretty
-
clear, Matthew. That's what the Lord has repeated throughout the whole Bible,
-
the whole of his word. He said it over and over again. Literally,
-
that message is literally a recycled message. It's just recycled, so believe
-
it or not, Jose or at the top of the hour, and so
-
it's time for closing comments, your thoughts. You know, Matthew, I
-
have the privilege, and I guess the grace of never being taught this as
-
a child, this doctrine or this tradition. So I don't have that clouding
-
my judgment as I'm reading through the Bible. So I have some some what's
-
the word I'm looking for sympathy for people that have been taught this their whole
-
life, Matthew, and believe it right and put their hope in it.
-
And the only reason why we're exploring this and trying to edify the body is
-
to really help people understand that we're going to go through the birth pains,
-
that we need to be expecting this, and that the Lord has told us
-
we're going to go through this, and that our faith needs to be able
-
to help us endure this. And the way you strengthen your faith, Matthew
-
is by reading his word. And when you read his word, he tells
-
you over and over repeatedly what he's actually going to do and put your faith
-
and what he's put in his word, from Isaiah, from Exodus, from
-
Ezekiel to Revelation, the First Thesalonians, all the chapters in the Bible,
-
he said the same thing over and over and over. You got you got,
-
Matthew, or the Lord himself. He tells you what he's gonna do.
-
He tells you what is to come, and just let that be your
-
faith, let that be your strength. You know, we've all we've all
-
been taught things as kids, Matthew, growing up in the church, and
-
it's up to us as as adult Christians. Right, we're not baby Christians
-
anymore. We're eating meat. It's up to us to investigate his word and
-
search these things out, Matthew, and prove them true or not true.
-
So those are my closing thoughts, and all I'm asking is that if you
-
have questions or doubts about whether it's a rapture or a relocation, just keep
-
reading and the Lord will show it to you. Well. I can concur
-
that with the final verse of First Bestlonians chapter four, the there is no
-
destination. You are the destination. The man shall leave his parents and cleave
-
to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. You are the
-
destination. That's why there's no destination for you mentioned in First Corinthians fifteen or
-
First Thessalonians chapter four. Verse Thessalonians chapter four ends with this, once you're
-
changed verse eighteen. Therefore comfort one another with these words. Therefore comfort one
-
another with these words. Jose, please take us out of here in prayer.
-
Dear heavenly Father, whom we love and serve, once again, I
-
give you thanks and praise for allowing us to get together, for allowing us
-
to read your word. And for allowing us to be edified by your holy
-
Spirit. Father, we asked that those that have questions about what is to
-
come, that those that have questions about various traditions or various doctrines that they
-
have been taught. We just asked that you open their heart's, Lord,
-
and allow them to read your word so you can show them what is to
-
come. You've put it all there for us. You've sent your son to
-
teach us, you've sent your prophets, you've sent your angels to deliver this
-
message repeatedly. Father, and I asked that you continue to do so so
-
that more people can be gathered to you, Lord, for we know that
-
you seek that one lost sheep, and we ask that you allow these programs
-
to fulfill your work. Lord. And we ask all this in the name
-
of your son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen
-
and Amen. Till next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless, God
-
