  1. Do you know the Bible is God's Holy Word? Do you know it is

  2. inspired, in errant, and infallible? If so, like, share,

  3. subscribe and support this podcast. So we are Maranatha Ministries and now Reduction Draweth

  4. Nige. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program. We're your

  5. host. Jose and Matthew got a very big topic tonight because I've had an

  6. influx of questions about this very thing, and I know it's probably not from

  7. my regular listeners because just about all the messages said that they heard me on

  8. a podcast, So I'm not sure where that's coming from, but it's probably

  9. from my interview I did with Kenny c on his program The Rock. So

  10. we're gonna take this, take some time and answer questions about it so everybody

  11. gets a feel as to what the Bible is saying, kind of unclogging those

  12. gears, because the Bible has a lot to say about what God means.

  13. So in order to get to that, we better pray ourselves out of this

  14. big dark hole we're in, because without the Holy Spirit's guidance, we're gonna

  15. stay in this great, big hole of unknowing, this this chasm of uncertainty,

  16. and that is not why God gave us his word. He gave us

  17. his word to explain to us, not confuse us. So let us power

  18. his prayer. Dear hemly Father, whom we serve through the Lord Jesus Christ,

  19. your son and our Savior, please fill us with your holy spirit so

  20. that we might be pleasing and acceptable in your psych Oh, Lord Dower Rock

  21. and our Redeemer, thank you so much for this precious time that you've given

  22. to me and home to come together with the ecclesia and try to edify your

  23. children. And we ask your blessing upon whoever partakes of this program, whether

  24. it's here in the live or in the archive, whether it in the video

  25. or the audio, it is Jose and Mine's utmost request that you might bless

  26. them and edify them. And it is in your Son's precious name we pray

  27. the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen. Amen. All right. Jose,

  28. You know I tried doing a video earlier, and I'm going to recap

  29. that just a little bit for the people. Take note, ladies and gentlemen,

  30. that in First Corinthians, chapter fifteen, particularly verses fifteen fifty one fifty

  31. two and one Thesalonians, chapter four, it states to you in fhatically that

  32. you're going to go through a change. Now, the problem here is is

  33. that most people concentrate on what is not there. There is no destination for

  34. the bride. That may even confuse some people. There's no destination mentioned in

  35. these two chapters. For Christians, there's no destination. It makes it perfectly

  36. clear that it is Christ that is in transition. He is in motion,

  37. he is coming from heaven to the earth, and this meeting takes place as

  38. soon as he crosses the threshold to your biosphere. That's exactly what the Greek

  39. says. It doesn't say anything else. So with that in mind, especially

  40. in one Dosum's chapter four, the final verse concludes with this comfort each other

  41. without mentioning that you're going anywhere, because you're not. You're not going anywhere.

  42. And this is why in the English it's very choppy, but the Greek

  43. is very plain. You aren't going anywhere. That's why it mentions no destination

  44. for you. You are at the location Christ is coming to you. When

  45. He comes to you, you are changed in the twinkling of an eye.

  46. So with that in mind, this can be very upsetting to people because this

  47. would this would make people think, well, we know when that is.

  48. We know what happens with the return to Christ. Every living creature, every

  49. inanimate object knows when Christ, our King blasts through our upper atmosphere. Everybody

  50. knows to everything, and everybody knows that. That's painfully evident in Revelation chapter

  51. nineteen and twenty. There's no debating when Christ gets back. He doesn't do

  52. it under the cloak of any secrecy. He come back with the bang.

  53. The Bible never states anything else, never states no secret return. So with

  54. that in mind, this can make people upset. You're setting there thinking to

  55. yourself, so you're saying, we're gonna go through the tribulation. Well,

  56. no, doesn't mean that at all. That's not what God says, and

  57. what God says that's what's important. That's what's gonna happen. So if he

  58. does make references to you not going through this great tribulation, there's nothing like

  59. it. Christ states this emphatically in Matthew chapter twenty four. There's no event

  60. like this in history. So yes, he was speaking iochronalle. Christ was

  61. in Matthew twenty four. Because we do know that what he described did happen

  62. in seventy eighty over the course of forty two months. Yes it did.

  63. It started in sixty six at mid sixty six and last to seventy eight eight.

  64. Yes, it last forty two months. So everybody knows that that time

  65. in seventy eight was it was described there. But he stated that it would

  66. be worse than any time in history, so we know he was speaking nicer

  67. Cronley, this time is coming. That being the case, why are we

  68. going to go through the Great Tribulation? Well, we will be alive and

  69. we will remain into Christ's return. That doesn't, however, mean we're going

  70. to be out there in the outer darkness. We're going to be We're going

  71. to be in a place where all the judgments are are taking place. Doesn't

  72. mean that at all. It means God's going to take you someplace, just

  73. like he states in multiple multiple verses, multiple chapters, He's going to relocate

  74. you. More importantly, he's going to segregate you, is what He's going

  75. to you. He's gonna segregate you, and that means that for the duration

  76. of that Great Tribulation, you're segregated. That's what he says. That's what

  77. he means. So when his son returns, When his son returns, you're

  78. here, You're within the atmosphere, you're within your biosphere, and he comes

  79. to you. Because what does it state from the beginning a man will leave

  80. his parents? Right? Jose? Yes? Does the devor say that the

  81. woman will leave her parents? No, it says the man will leave his

  82. parents and Bethoven to his wife. Amen. Amen. Do you think this

  83. is going to happen any other way than that? No? No, no,

  84. And God makes himself perfectly clear. God stays in heaven. Christ comes

  85. back and he rules for a thousand years. Why God the Father is in

  86. heaven? Correct? Yes, And at the end of that thousand year reign,

  87. God come down and recreates everything right. Right, That's what he always

  88. says. He doesn't say anything else. So can we prove that in the

  89. Bible? Hoose? Yes, Matthew, most definitely. Hey, let me

  90. ask you this. You're pretty familiar with the Old Testament text, I take

  91. it. Yes. Are you pretty familiar with the first five books, that

  92. is to say, the pentitouke, Are are you familiar with that? Yes?

  93. How about the major prophets? Yes? How about the minor prophets.

  94. Yes, okay, so can you tell me who, what where? When?

  95. Chapter and verse where God describes that all of his children come and join

  96. him in heaven. I don't see that, Matthew. I read about the

  97. Lord gathering his people. I read about him that taking them to a place

  98. that he's made ready, that he's prepared. But I do not read about

  99. him taking any of of his any of us into heaven. Well, I

  100. concur with that. There is no chapter verse you can go to where it

  101. ever describes his church, his ecclesia, this great, big mass under the

  102. heavens. And we must be talking about now you're talking about people. Let's

  103. just be safe, let's be very conservative. Let's just use the numbers of

  104. Christians since Christ till now. Would we be talking about millions? You must

  105. be talking about billions, right, I mean, right now we got seven

  106. billion. That ain't nothing. All the Christians from just the time of Christ

  107. till now. You're talking about hundreds of billions, Yes you are. When

  108. you add all those up, there is no mention of any sizeable group anywhere

  109. going to heaven. The only thing you can target anyone that would presume to

  110. aspire to do such things is very bad. That's of course that chapter in

  111. Isaiah's Isaiah chapter fourteen, and it makes it perfectly clear that only your enemy

  112. would aspire to ascend the heights of heaven, right right. And we're also

  113. told in Genesis tent right, Matthew, when they're building the Tower of Babble,

  114. they're trying to build it to heaven. And the Lord didn't like that.

  115. No, he didn't like that at all. So let's see if we

  116. can put some verses together. So I'm going to start this shendig Off.

  117. You know, what does God's God say about his restored remnant. Let's go

  118. to Isaiah chapter eleven, Verses eleven and twelve. This is pretty plain,

  119. it's pretty to the point, and it makes itself best known because he states

  120. right up front that he has done this again. So whatever he's going to

  121. do the second time, you're supposed to know he's going to do the exact

  122. same thing. Then it will happen on that day that the Lord will again

  123. recover the second time with his hand the remnant of his people who remain from

  124. Asiri Egypt, at those kush Elemshnar hey Man and from the islands of the

  125. sea, and he will lift up a standard for the nations and assemble the

  126. banished ones of Israel, and will gather the dispersed of Judah from the four

  127. corners of the earth. Now, ladies and gentlemen, God was certainly not

  128. trying to confuse you. He was telling you point blank range he has done

  129. this before, and we know he did this. This is why the Book

  130. of Exodus is written, right, Jose, Right, it's the whole point.

  131. That's what it states. So you should realize what he's talking about.

  132. The major crux of the event. This event happened at the crossing of the

  133. Red Sea. Amen. Amen, that's when the event happened. That's when

  134. this relocation happened. That's when he supernaturally stepped in divided them from us.

  135. He segregated this right there, that's when we got segregated. There was them

  136. and there was us. There was his children, there was everybody else.

  137. There was Jacob, there was Esaul. God divided it and segregated them both.

  138. You get this, You get this exact idea in well many chapters.

  139. But take note, this is exactly what he says in Matthew chapter thirteen,

  140. verse thirty. He comes right out and tells you. There. He states,

  141. thus, allow both to grow, to gather until harvest. And in

  142. the time of the harvest, I will see to the reapers. First,

  143. gather up the tears and bind them in bundles. Now take note, they're

  144. left in the field. This is the planet. Earth is the field.

  145. Okay, let me say that again. First gather up the tears and bind

  146. them in bundles to burn them up. But gather the wheat into my barn.

  147. That's exactly what he just said. That's his intention, that's what he's

  148. gonna do. So that's literally echoing the verses I just read, and that's

  149. exactly what happened. You know, you'll take note there with the exodus,

  150. this triggered massive events in Egyptian history because of course their army was laying at

  151. the bottom of the sea. They were completely decimated, which loud for the

  152. invasion and the incursion of the Hixos. Because they didn't have an army,

  153. they were wiped out. So she will use this this type of phraseology in

  154. reference to the whole planet again and again that yet at the same time,

  155. I'm gonna take them out. So you should look for that too. Hose

  156. your your thoughts. So the picture I keep getting, Matthew. And there's

  157. lots of ways we could describe this, and lots of ways that the Lord

  158. does in the Bible. But I keep being remembered when the Lord says he's

  159. gonna gather us together like a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. Right,

  160. That's that's the that's the phraseology that that I that I keep that coming

  161. in my head today. And like I said, there's a million different ways

  162. that the Lord says it in the Bible. And so yeah, when I

  163. was, when I was a baby Christian, I admit there was some confusion

  164. about you know, right where there's phrases talking about being led into captivity.

  165. You read Revelation thirteen, and you're thinking, well do I have to do

  166. go through that? You know, there's a little bit of confusion. But

  167. again, like you just when you just went through in Matthew thirteen, and

  168. when the Lord spoke about being a hen and gathering gathering his chicks, this

  169. it just keeps repeating himself that he's gonna set aside a place for his people.

  170. And just like you said in Exodus, in the Land of Goshen is

  171. where his people were while Egypt was going through its plagues, and that,

  172. to me is the biggest example for what the Lord has prepared for us.

  173. And so once I finally understood all those verses, and then I came to

  174. Revelation chapter twelve with the woman fleeing into the wilderness and being protected from the

  175. dragon, it's just all made sense. It's just kind of all It all

  176. follows a pattern for what he's going to do well exactly, and he states

  177. that they're in Exodus chapter nineteen, verse four, I believe, let me

  178. jump over there. If memory serves me correctly, I think it's verse four.

  179. Yes, that's exactly what he says. You yourselves have seen what I

  180. did to the Egyptians and how I bore you on eagles wings and brought you

  181. to myself. So yeah, that in itself he refers to this as an

  182. operation eagles Wings in Revelation chapter twelve, which you just mentioned, right,

  183. And that's not the first time he mentions that. He states that there in

  184. deuteronim chapter thirty two, verses eleven through twelve, literally states it just like

  185. this, and he's talking about this is the Lord God, This is him,

  186. and it stated in Isaiah chapter forty, verse thirty one. So he

  187. states this many times that well, just like Matthew chapter thirteen is he stated

  188. the reapers. There he called them reapers, and here he's using this angelic

  189. symbology. And that's why I've always called this operation eagles Wings. That's what

  190. he states, right, that's exactly what Revelation chapter twelve states. So absolutely

  191. absolutely what you said. And it's got to be that way in no other

  192. way. I mean, let's Isaiah chapter forty, verse eleven. Like a

  193. shepherd, he okay, God's not trying to confuse you. This isn't Tom

  194. Dick or Harry or Peter pauler Mary. Like a shepherd, he will tend

  195. his flocks in his arms. He will gather the lamb, so here he's

  196. using lambs and will carry in his bosom. He will gently lead the nursing

  197. us just the same thing. Take note Isaiah chapter forty three, verses five

  198. and six. Do not fear, for I am with you. I will

  199. bring your offspring from the east and gather you from the west. I will

  200. say to the north, give them up, and to the south, do

  201. not hold them back. Bring my sons from Afar and my daughters from the

  202. ends of the earth. Is that confusing to you, Jose, No,

  203. that's pretty clear, Matthew. It's pretty straightforward. He just keeps going again

  204. and again and again and again. Isaiah forty nine, verse eighteen. Lift

  205. up your eyes and look around all of them. Gather together. They come

  206. to you as I live, declares the Lord. You will surely put on

  207. all of them as jewels and bind them on as a bride. Ladies and

  208. gentlemen. There is no mistaking what he's doing. He himself is going to

  209. gather you together. You should expect. Look Isaiah chapter fifty four, verse

  210. seven. For a brief moment, I forsake, I forsook you, but

  211. with great compassion, I will gather you. One thing should be noted here

  212. before I go further, Jose. He's repeatedly saying gather right. Yes.

  213. Did you hear him say change no? Like I stated before? First Krankians

  214. chapter fifteen is quite clear. What Christ does. He changes us? Correct

  215. correct First Thesalonians chapter four. Christ changes us and once again lady's them.

  216. There's no there's no traveling involved, there is no destination given. I'm gonna

  217. say it again. There's no destination for Christians in First Corinthians chapter fifteen or

  218. First Thesalonians chapter four. There is no destination given because you're not leaving nowhere.

  219. God is gathering you together someplace here on planet Earth. Somewhere he's preparing

  220. a place. And that is to say, at least in creation. It's

  221. somewhere in creation. He's making this protected place. Right, Jose, Right,

  222. he is not changing as we are not well. The best way I

  223. can put it is like I already put it, we are not being cloven

  224. to Christ in that event. That's not what he's saying at all, not

  225. at all. Let's stretched forward. Isaiah chapter fifty six, verse say the

  226. Lord God, who gathers the dispersed of Israel, declares, yet others I

  227. will gather to them, to those already gathered. So literally, take note,

  228. ladies and gentlemen, the name Israel means whom God straightens because it begins

  229. with a yacht. It doesn't begin with Sarah's name. Look at the Hebrew

  230. when the word when the name Israel's given, it always begins with a yacht.

  231. It comes from two Hebrew words to straighten and God's name l it means

  232. whom God straightens. So literally, he's prophetically stating here that the Jews that

  233. have become Christians and the Gentiles that have become Christian, they're all going to

  234. come to one place, and by the way, they're probably going to be

  235. surprised when they get there. Isaiah, chapter sixty, verse four, Lift

  236. up your eyes round about, and see they all gather together. They all

  237. come to you. Your son's coming afar, and your daughters will be carried

  238. in the arms, ladies and gentlemen. He does not say. He is

  239. not saying he's going to change you, Jose, Is it just me or

  240. No, he does not say that, Matthew. And let's say this gathering

  241. was to take place in heaven. Matthew, what would what would physically happen

  242. to us if we were to enter Heaven in the state we are now without

  243. being changed. I don't think. I don't think it would be a pleasant

  244. experience for us. I don't think we'd make it past the threshold. No,

  245. of course, you wouldn't make it. That's the whole that's the whole

  246. reason we need Christ, right, that's the whole reason he has to change

  247. us. That's the whole reason we have to become one with him, because

  248. if we try to cross that threshold on our own, that's no go.

  249. Well, the one serious problem you have, for it's one thing to be

  250. like the Sons of Karrah. They entered Hades alive, right right, it's

  251. a whole different ball game to enter the Lord, God of host chamber.

  252. Because you're alive, you can't face him, Jose. Right, So I'm

  253. just gonna tell you that up front. Don't ever try to get into heaven

  254. because once you see his face, you're done. You will be obliterated from

  255. creation. This is the whole reason why the only way you could face God

  256. is if you've been clothing to Christ. Amen, you might the two must

  257. become one flesh. Amen, Amen, literally speaking, Until you become one

  258. with Christ, you're a dead man. The instant you see he who setteth

  259. upon the throne, you're dead. You can't do that. Even Moses couldn't

  260. do that. You understand, he had to turn his back and see God's

  261. backside. God plainly said, you can't see my face or you will surely

  262. die. Okay, so this is another mechanical problem you got there. Why

  263. doesn't anybody talk about this, Jose, this is common knowledge that the living

  264. cannot see he who set us upon the throne. That they can't or they're

  265. God. Why isn't this ever talked about? Is this one of those elephants

  266. in the room? I guess because after you read all the chapters. I

  267. just pulled verses out of these chapters. You read those chapters. God,

  268. lets you know what he's talking about. You're not you in any of these

  269. texts? Does he mention? Does he mention the cherublem? Everybody knows about

  270. the terrible entities in the Bible? Or maybe the Seraphim? Or are they

  271. mentioned in these verse? No, Matthew, No, no they're not They're

  272. not there. So listen, let's go to Ezekiel chapter thirty for I will

  273. take you from the nations. Okay, let's look for a destination. What's

  274. the destination? Does he say? Heaven? All right, write this down

  275. Ezekiel thirty six, verst. Twenty four. What's the destination? For I

  276. will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands, and

  277. bring you into your own land. He is giving you a promised place.

  278. He doesn't get did he just say that he was going to take you to

  279. heaven. Jose, you know he did not, Matthew, he did not

  280. even that. There was no hint of that anywhere in that verse, anywhere

  281. in the chapter. Okay, let's try Micah chapter four, verse six.

  282. In that day, by the way, this is the great day of Hugh

  283. set up upon the throne. This is the day of the Lord. In

  284. that day, declares the Lord, I will assemble the lame. Oh,

  285. we got to We've got some trouble here. Ose, riddle me this.

  286. Do you think that in a state of having a handicapped body, a defective

  287. body, do you actually think you'd go to heaven and be lane? No?

  288. No, that that's ridiculous, right, ridiculous, right, right?

  289. Okay, So that's that's one of the biggest things that that every Christian talks

  290. about, Right, Matthew, I've heard since I was a kid, you're

  291. you're getting your your with Some people call it a resurrection body. Some people

  292. call it you know you're perfect your your your perfected body. But either way,

  293. there's no way you're any and it in heaven with any any dislise you

  294. currently have. Right, And the proper English term for that is to use

  295. the Greek word anastasis. You're really talking about your anastasis anatomy. That's what

  296. you're really referring to. That's what I refer to in written text whenever I

  297. write, when I do documentations, I call it the anastatious and the anastasia

  298. anatomy. It's the resurrection anatomy. That's not going to be lame. Let

  299. me read the verse from start to finish, and that declares the Lord I

  300. will assemble the lane and gather the outcast, even those whom I have afflicted.

  301. And I'm sorry about that. Jose. You do realize that the Lord

  302. he's God, right, Amen? And if you're blind, who signed the

  303. order on that? God did? If you live, who signed the order?

  304. Yep? The Lord your God. If you're lame, who signed the

  305. order? Again? God? Because the Lord he is God? Amen.

  306. Amen. So with that in mind, this is when people get into real

  307. trouble in their escatology because they find it's not a systematic eschatology, especially when

  308. they get to Isaiah chapter thirty five. Amen, Jose, Amen, Matthew,

  309. yep. Because once again the Lord nips you in the bud Jose.

  310. He takes whatever you're thinking, and he flushes that down the toilet, because

  311. literally they're in Isaiah chapter thirty five, it is talking about the kingdom.

  312. Matter of fact, could it be talking about anything else, Jose, No,

  313. no, it's it's it matches exactly what we see at the end of

  314. revelation. Yeah, you're, you're it's not talking about anything other than his

  315. kingdom, and we're gonna talk about this. This is talking about No,

  316. no, no, no, no no. This is talking about the return

  317. of Christ. He differentiates himself, he who setteth upon the throne with his

  318. vengeance, his vengeances, Christ his son. Picking it up in Isaiah chapter

  319. thirty five, which is in the last chapter of the Book of the Apocalypse

  320. of Isaiah, Verse four say to those with anxious heart, take courage,

  321. fear not the hold your God will come with vengeance. The recompense of God

  322. will come. This is Jesus. But he will save you. Then,

  323. so not until the return of Christ, when you're clothing him, when you

  324. go through the change, that's when this happens. Verse five. Then the

  325. eyes of the blind will be open, and the ears of the death will

  326. be instopped. Then the lame will leap like a deer in the tongue of

  327. the newt shout for joy, Amen, jose Amen, Matthew. So if

  328. there's a relocation event, you know that happens when the changing occurs. This

  329. is literally saying that if this happens before the return of Christ, ladies and

  330. gentlemen, I mean, what I just stated is the force. That's crazy.

  331. Let's go to First Corinthians, chapter fifteen and let's take a look at

  332. it. I know I've referenced it several times, but obviously I just need

  333. to go and read it. When we go over here, this is when

  334. this change happens. This is when it happens. Now, I say this,

  335. brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, nor

  336. does the does the perishable inherit the imperishable. But hold, I tell you

  337. a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed.

  338. There is no destination here. You are the destination. But we will

  339. all be changed in the moment, in a twinkling of an eye at the

  340. last trumpet. So this is Revelation chapter eleven, verse fifteen. For the

  341. trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will

  342. be changed. For this perishable must not put must put on the imperishable,

  343. and the mortol must put on immortality. Everybody knows this. That's that's exactly

  344. what we talked about, Matthew. That's exactly what said. So if this

  345. happens before the return of Crash, we got problems. Let's go to first

  346. Thessalonians, Chapter four, verse sixteen. Well, you know, let's let's

  347. back it up a verse because we need to reference what he just talked about

  348. verse fifteen. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord,

  349. that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord,

  350. will not proceed those who have fallen asleep, for the Lord himself will descend

  351. from heaven with a shout at the voice of the archangel, and with the

  352. trumpet of God. This is the last trumpet. Let me say that again.

  353. This is taking place after Christ's coronation, and the dead in Christ will

  354. rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together

  355. with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so

  356. we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore, comfort one another's with these

  357. words. Take note this chapter does not end with the destination. You're not

  358. going anywhere, because they just told you that listen, the dead in Christ

  359. will rise first. Then we are alive and remain will be caught up together

  360. with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Your biosphere

  361. begins in the upper atmosphere, right, Jose, Yes, this is your

  362. containment. In English this is very chopping, but in the Greek it's very

  363. plain. There is no destination because you are the destination. Once Christ enters

  364. your biosphere, you're changed. Once he enters your habitable zone, you're changed.

  365. So with this in mind, if there was something before Revelation chapter nineteen

  366. and twenty that is the return of Christ. When I just read that chapter

  367. to you that stated it that way, that Christ is God's vengeance, it's

  368. his recompense, and he comes to save us, and that's when he changes

  369. our body. That's when we go through this change. Not a transport,

  370. it's a change, Jose. Do you understand, ladies telling you it's not

  371. a transport. There was no destination mentioned in First Corinthians chapter fifteen or First

  372. Thatsalonians chapter four, because that's not what happens at his return. God is

  373. very clear in every verse that we've read this is something different. On the

  374. Great Day of He who setteth upon the throne. This is God, the

  375. Father. He gathers us saw one oh six, verse forty seven. He

  376. says it again, save us, o, Lord, our God, and

  377. gather us from among the nations to give thanks to your holy name and glory

  378. in your praise. You're going to be gathered. You're not going to be

  379. transported. You're going to be gathered by he who setteth upon the throne on

  380. the Great day of the Lord. The Great Day of the Lord is not

  381. the perushia of Christ. It states that again any visions the first chapter,

  382. verse ten, with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the

  383. times. That is the summing up of all things in Christ, things in

  384. the heavens and things on earth in Him. You'll take no revelation. Chapter

  385. twelve mentions that there's a great war in heaven when Michael and the good angels

  386. are gathered to him, right, Jose, all right, So the angels

  387. gather, they have war and kick out the bad angels the same time that

  388. we are gathered. These things are once you read the scripture in its totality,

  389. they all make sense because it never changes. But one good thing that

  390. we've brought up here in multiple verse is, ladies and gentlemen, if you're

  391. getting raptured to heaven, you're going to be lame and handicapped until you return

  392. back to heaven. So you're in heaven and you return with cross hest and

  393. then you're changed once you hit the upperpp the upper atmosphere. Jose, does

  394. that make any logical sense? No, it doesn't, Matthew. And let

  395. me tell you the verse that caught my eye Ezekiel thirty six, verse twenty

  396. four. Or I will take you from the nations, gather you from all

  397. the lands, and bring you into your own land. Now, in Hebrew,

  398. that's the Hebrew word out of Mah right h. One twenty seven.

  399. Okay, But in Greek, Matthew, that's G. Ten ninety three,

  400. and that's the Greek word again. Right, And let me tell you the

  401. first verse that word shows up in. Let's see if you know where that

  402. what this verse is, Matthew. In the beginning, God created the heaven

  403. and the earth. Right, that's right. The word for earth is that

  404. exact same word that's in Exekuel chapter thirty six, verse twenty four, so

  405. it doesn't say eratos in the Greek Matthew, it says again the earth.

  406. Yeah, and there is no possible way what the Greek is talking about is

  407. some land in heaven. Right. No, No, it's not. It

  408. can't be added tomologically speaking, it can't be in Greek or Free. That's

  409. why I stated it very plainly. When you read First Corinthians chapter five and

  410. First Tusalonians chapter four, it never gives a destination, Jose. It never

  411. does because the changing happens here. And it stated it in Greek, very

  412. very plainly. That's why you have to say it in the way that people

  413. can understand it. It says, once Christ enters your biosphere, you are

  414. changed. That's when it happens. So if you go to heaven first before

  415. you enter into this change, you're dead, right, You're dead. You

  416. can't do it, You just can't do it. So literally what is described

  417. here, And take note he made several references to distress. Right, Yes,

  418. so when you go to Matthew chapter twenty four, it makes sense because

  419. the birth pains come first, Jose. Right, right, This is another

  420. thing that the Bible always states. It always states you're in distress. You're

  421. in distress before he relocates you. It always states that we just read it

  422. from Isaiah chapter thirty five. He made himself perfectly clear that you were under

  423. duress, and he gathers here. Once you're gathered some place, then the

  424. tribulation is going on because God has done something right, right, He's done

  425. something and it ain't good. It's not good whatever he's done. So that

  426. starts the tribulation. And most people don't realize this is exactly what first Desalonians

  427. chapter five says, Is it not, Jose, have we not covered that

  428. before? Right? It comes right out and tells you the day of the

  429. Lord comes first and starts the tribulation. And God himself, that is to

  430. say, he who setteth upon the throne, he will he will protect your

  431. somch psyche numa. That's verse twenty three. Don't look at it in English,

  432. it won't do you any good. Look at it in the Greek.

  433. It's so mis psyche numa. God himself will get you too, in your

  434. trinitarian nature. This is why you're made in God's image, will get you

  435. to the perusia Christ which is at the end of the chapter. Correct whose

  436. correct literally if we read first les Loans chapter five, it really does tell

  437. you everything you need to know. It tells you literally everything you need to

  438. know, and that takes most people by surprise. I don't realize that.

  439. But you're not going through the tribulation. But you're not going to heaven.

  440. That's bad. What's gonna happen is God himself comes off his throne. Daniel

  441. chapter seven once again tells you the complete timeline. Daniel Chapter seven tells you

  442. that during these birth pains, there are these four beasts that rise up.

  443. It tells you at the end of that, God himself gets up off his

  444. throne and comes to earth. He gathers you together aheright. It is to

  445. say, he gets his reapers to bind up all the bad people and leave

  446. them in the field to burn, and gathers his children to his barn.

  447. Now take note, the Apocalypse of Isaiah also calls this God's vineyard. He

  448. also states in other chapters he refers to it us God's sheep fold or sheep

  449. pen. Some translations just use fold. He says it multiple times in multiple

  450. ways, but he states this again and again again. So you're going to

  451. be inside God's barn until Christ comes back. You're gonna be in God's vineyard

  452. protected. It literally says you're protected moment by moment, right, Jose,

  453. we've recovered, we've covered that chapter. Yes, he says God will tend

  454. his vineyard moment by moment and then Christ comes back. So we got about

  455. fifteen minutes left, Jose. Can you jump over there to first Thessalonians chapter

  456. five, Yes, I can. I know we've done this before, and

  457. it's it's it's just something we gotta do. Uh. This is well,

  458. this is this is twenty eight verses. Just blow through it. Just read

  459. it straight through, all right, And I'm reading it out of KJB because

  460. that's what I have pulled up here in this little program. So very good.

  461. First Thessalonians Chapter five. But of the times and the seasons, brethren,

  462. you have no need that I write unto you, for yourselves know perfectly

  463. that the day of the Lord cometh as a thief in the night. For

  464. when they shall say peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them,

  465. as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape. But

  466. you, brethren, are not in darkness that that day should overtake you as

  467. a thief. You are all the children of light and the children of the

  468. day. We are not of the night nor of the darkness. Therefore let

  469. us not sleep as do others, but let us watch and be sober.

  470. For they that sleep sleep in the night, and they that be drunken are

  471. drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day,

  472. be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a

  473. helmet the hope of salvation. For God has not appointed us to wrath,

  474. but to obtain salvation by our Lord, Jesus Christ, who died for us,

  475. that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.

  476. Wherefore, comfort yourselves together and edify one another, even as also you do.

  477. And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labor among you

  478. and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you, and to esteem

  479. them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among

  480. yourselves. Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly,

  481. Comfort the feeble minded, support the weak, be patient towards all men.

  482. See that none render evil for evil unto any man, but ever follow that

  483. which is good. Both among yourselves and to all men rejoice evermore, pray

  484. without ceasing, and everything gift thanks for this is the will of God in

  485. Christ Jesus. Concerning you, quench not the spirit, despise not prophesyings,

  486. prove all things, hold fast that which is good, Abstain from all appearance

  487. of evil, and the very God of peace. Sanctify you holy. And

  488. I pray God, your Holy Spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto

  489. the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Babel is he that calls you,

  490. who also will do it? Brethren, pray for us. Creet all the

  491. brethren with the holy kiss. I charge you by the Lord that this epistle

  492. be read unto all the holy brethren. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ

  493. be with you. Amen. So this chapter literally nips it in the bud.

  494. It literally told you that the great day of the Lord, the great

  495. day of you who sits upon the throne. Verse two. For you yourselves

  496. know full well that the day of the Lord will come, just like a

  497. thief of the night. He literally goes on to say that this starts the

  498. tribulation right and at the end, make no mistake what the Greek says here

  499. literally right here in verse twenty three. Now may the God of Peace himself

  500. sanctify you entirely in your spirit, soul, and body be preserved. This

  501. is how you're making it through this one two hundred and sixty day tribulation,

  502. be preserved, complete without blame, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

  503. This in Hebrews or in Greek says the Perusia, the perusia. This

  504. is Revelation chapter nineteen and verse twenty or chapter twenty, the return of Christ.

  505. There's literally no ground to stand on if you're saying anything else. Hose

  506. right. It was simple. It cuts straight to the chase. He literally

  507. told you, God the Father's going to do exactly what he stated in all

  508. these verses about gathering that we stated that. We said, He literally come

  509. right out and told you this is how it's going to be. It's not

  510. going to be another way. So this is the answer to all of your

  511. questions. You are not going to be raptured to heaven. You are going

  512. to be relocated. God is going to gather you to a safe location somewhere

  513. here in creation. When Christ gets back, you will be changed. Once

  514. he enters your biosphere at the end of forty two months, at the end

  515. of one thousand termed sixty days tribulation. That's what he always stated. There

  516. is nothing else we can read from Jose that literally states anything else. I

  517. mean, this idea of being raptured to heaven has always been propagated as a

  518. secret event, right right now. Do you have any problems with a secret

  519. event? Yes, Matthew, because the Lord God tells us what is to

  520. come, He's not going to make it a secret. Well, I can

  521. say this, I'll quote directly from him. This is proof beyond any shadow

  522. of doubt. There is no secret event in eschatology. That is not systematic

  523. eschatology. That's not what any verse says in the Bible. This is what

  524. it says Amos chapter three, verse seven. Surely the Lord God does nothing

  525. unless he reveals his secret counsel to his servants, the prophets. I'm going

  526. to say one more time, if you've heard about a secret rapture to heaven,

  527. it is existentially a bold face lie. There is no secret translation to

  528. heaven. Ever, that's never what God says. There is no secret event

  529. in eschatology. If you can't find a secret pre tribulational rapture in Isaiah,

  530. Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, the twelve Prophets, the Psalms.

  531. If you can't find it, it does not exist. Hose do you concur

  532. with that? Yes? I do, Matthew. Is there any way theologically

  533. speaking, you can get around Amos three to seven? No, Matthew.

  534. The whole reason I believe Revelation chapter twelve is because what God has revealed through

  535. his prophets throughout the whole Bible. That's the only reason I believe Revelation chapter

  536. twelve, because it imagines exactly what He said before. And we certainly covered

  537. quite a few of those verses here, right, So let us be quick

  538. and let us be sure this is what we are saying. Beyond any shadow

  539. of doubt. You can get the entire timeline from Daniel chapter seven. It

  540. literally comes out and tells you everything, and even tells you when Christ is

  541. coronated. It tells you when Christ is coronating that coronation hasn't happened yet.

  542. Now this is hard for everybody to believe. But if He had been coronated,

  543. ladies and gentlemen, why aren't you in the Kingdom of Heaven. Yet

  544. when the verses I just read to you pointed out that literally he said at

  545. the trump did he not say that? Jose? Yep, Well, where's

  546. the last trump? Jose. It's Revelation chapter eleven, verse for fifteen.

  547. Ain't it right? I mean, last I checked. We can go there

  548. and read it, ladies and gentlemen. When does Christ get coordinated? Okay,

  549. let me say it one more time, slowly. When you be reading

  550. from the New American Standard Bible ninety five update, Revelation, chapter eleven,

  551. verse fifteen, which is the seventh trumpet, I'm not lying to you.

  552. Then the seventh angel sounded and there with loud voices in heaven saying the kingdom

  553. of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ,

  554. and he will reign forever endeavor. Now, of course you've got a problem

  555. with this because after this comes seven bold judgments, right, Jose, or

  556. some translation say vile judgments? Right? Correct? So did the Bible just

  557. say that Christ got coronated seven judgments before his return? That's exactly what it

  558. just said. Christ gets coronated right here, Then seven bold judgments are executed

  559. while he's on his way to impact the late great planet Earth. I mean,

  560. that's exactly what we go on to read and twenty four elders who sit

  561. on the thrones before God fell in their faces and worship God, saying,

  562. we give thanks to you, oh Lord, our God, the Almighty,

  563. Who are and who were? Because you have taken your great power and have

  564. begun to reign. Did he stutter, Jose, Nope, So he don't

  565. begin to reign until his coronation in Revelation, chapter eleven, verse seventeen.

  566. That's what I've just read. I'm not lying to you. Let's go on

  567. to verse eighteen. And the nations were enraged, and your wrath came,

  568. and the time came for the dead to be judged, and the time for

  569. reward your bomb servants, the prophets and the saints, and those who feel

  570. your name small and great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.

  571. When does he do that? I keep saying it. Everybody knows when he

  572. gets back. Everybody knows what happens when he gets back. It's Revelation nineteen

  573. and twenty right, Jose, Yes, so he definitely wasn't stuttering here.

  574. He literally made himself perfectly clear. If you go to Daniel chapter seven.

  575. We don't have time to do it. I've only got six minutes. Well

  576. wait a minute, I'm sorry the Lord, he's God, and i don't

  577. know of anything better else I could be doing at the time, Jose jump

  578. over to Daniel chapter seventh. Place. All right, So ladies and gentlemen,

  579. take note that the birth Pains is when there's four beasts that arise on

  580. this planet. Now take noe, They're not a single beast. These are

  581. the literally stating. This is stating that these four writers gather together the entire

  582. planet into four different groups. This is the birth Pains. This time ends

  583. with the abomination of desolation. Now you can read about these four different beasts

  584. that rise up, but they they form a single beast, and that is

  585. described, of course writer here in verse eleven and twelve. But take note,

  586. I'm going to start in verse nine. So after the birth Pains,

  587. after the four writers, after these four beasts, after the Earth has been

  588. divided into four great big kingdoms. Okay, this is what happened. God

  589. does the six Seal event. All of a sudden, he gets back to

  590. Heaven. That's about what he's getting ready to say. And he's not joking.

  591. I kept looking until thrones were set up and the Ancient of days took

  592. his seat. His vestiture was like white snow, and their hair of his

  593. head was like pure wool. His throne was ablaze with flames. Its wheels

  594. were burning fire. A river of fire was flowing and coming out from before

  595. him, and thousands upon thousands were attending him, and myriads upon myriage were

  596. standing before him. The court sat and the books were open. Then I

  597. kept looking because of the sound of the boastful words which the horn was speaking.

  598. I kept looking until the beast was slain and its body was destroyed and

  599. given to the burning fire. As for the rest of the beast, their

  600. dominion was taken away, an extension of life was granted to them for a

  601. pointed period of time. He just told you what's gonna take place during the

  602. one two hundred and sixty days between the time when he gets back to heaven

  603. and takes his seat and then one thy twenty sixty days later. What happens

  604. in verse thirteen. This is when the coronation happens. Once again. I'm

  605. gonna say it slow. This coronation is in Revelation, chapter eleven, verse

  606. fifteen. Yes it is. I kept looking in my night visions, and

  607. behold with the clouds of heaven one like the son of Man coming, And

  608. he came up to the Ancient of days and was presented before him. Now

  609. listen, I pointed out to you exactly what verse seventeen of Revelation chapter eleven

  610. stated. It's going to say the exact same thing right here. This is

  611. when Christ is coronated verse fourteen. And to him was given dominion, glory,

  612. and a kingdom, and all the peoples and nations in every language might

  613. serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion and which will not pass away,

  614. and his kingdom is one which will not be destroyed. Jose, Was

  615. that clear your progression of chronological events? Yes, Matthew, it cannot be

  616. debated with amen? Right amen. Was God trying to confuse you and Daniel

  617. Chapter seven? No, he stated what he's always said. He literally rephrased

  618. Matthew twenty four. So take note, ladies and gentlemen, you're going to

  619. go through the birth pains. Then God the Father is going to show up.

  620. He's going to gather you to a secure location he calls his barn in

  621. Matthew, Chapter thirteen, he calls it his vineyard. Revelation. Chapter twelve

  622. states it's it's a place that He's prepared for you. And one two or

  623. ninety days, that span forty two months goes by, and then Christ gets

  624. back. And once he punches through your biosphere, you go through the lagus

  625. mathia and you're changed. And there in your biosphere, you will never be

  626. separated from Christ. Ose, are you pretty clear on that? That's pretty

  627. clear, Matthew. That's what the Lord has repeated throughout the whole Bible,

  628. the whole of his word. He said it over and over again. Literally,

  629. that message is literally a recycled message. It's just recycled, so believe

  630. it or not, Jose or at the top of the hour, and so

  631. it's time for closing comments, your thoughts. You know, Matthew, I

  632. have the privilege, and I guess the grace of never being taught this as

  633. a child, this doctrine or this tradition. So I don't have that clouding

  634. my judgment as I'm reading through the Bible. So I have some some what's

  635. the word I'm looking for sympathy for people that have been taught this their whole

  636. life, Matthew, and believe it right and put their hope in it.

  637. And the only reason why we're exploring this and trying to edify the body is

  638. to really help people understand that we're going to go through the birth pains,

  639. that we need to be expecting this, and that the Lord has told us

  640. we're going to go through this, and that our faith needs to be able

  641. to help us endure this. And the way you strengthen your faith, Matthew

  642. is by reading his word. And when you read his word, he tells

  643. you over and over repeatedly what he's actually going to do and put your faith

  644. and what he's put in his word, from Isaiah, from Exodus, from

  645. Ezekiel to Revelation, the First Thesalonians, all the chapters in the Bible,

  646. he said the same thing over and over and over. You got you got,

  647. Matthew, or the Lord himself. He tells you what he's gonna do.

  648. He tells you what is to come, and just let that be your

  649. faith, let that be your strength. You know, we've all we've all

  650. been taught things as kids, Matthew, growing up in the church, and

  651. it's up to us as as adult Christians. Right, we're not baby Christians

  652. anymore. We're eating meat. It's up to us to investigate his word and

  653. search these things out, Matthew, and prove them true or not true.

  654. So those are my closing thoughts, and all I'm asking is that if you

  655. have questions or doubts about whether it's a rapture or a relocation, just keep

  656. reading and the Lord will show it to you. Well. I can concur

  657. that with the final verse of First Bestlonians chapter four, the there is no

  658. destination. You are the destination. The man shall leave his parents and cleave

  659. to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. You are the

  660. destination. That's why there's no destination for you mentioned in First Corinthians fifteen or

  661. First Thessalonians chapter four. Verse Thessalonians chapter four ends with this, once you're

  662. changed verse eighteen. Therefore comfort one another with these words. Therefore comfort one

  663. another with these words. Jose, please take us out of here in prayer.

  664. Dear heavenly Father, whom we love and serve, once again, I

  665. give you thanks and praise for allowing us to get together, for allowing us

  666. to read your word. And for allowing us to be edified by your holy

  667. Spirit. Father, we asked that those that have questions about what is to

  668. come, that those that have questions about various traditions or various doctrines that they
