  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 mere Nathal Ministries and now Redemption

  4. draweth nigh. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program. We

  5. are your host Hosea and Matthew. Tonight we are getting to the second chapter

  6. of the Book of a sense and a very short burst for a chapter here.

  7. But if you don't know the context of this chapter and looking at it,

  8. well, it could just read like it's just some random verses. So

  9. hose when you when you look over these verses, I mean, very very

  10. very short chapter here, what's your first takeaway from it? I mean,

  11. what impression does it leave you? You know, Matthew, because because of

  12. what we've been we've been studying what we've been reading. Right away, it

  13. takes me to certain passages in Matthew twenty four, certain passages in Isaiah forty.

  14. Of course, you can't help but get the idea of the hindz feet

  15. in this set of versus when you compare it to the previous chapter where you

  16. know they were getting beaten up. Peace was being taken from them, war

  17. was coming, trouble, all these you know, being among liars and in

  18. the deceitful kind of a cry for help. And then this really seems to

  19. be that answer to that, to that crime. Matthew. Where where that

  20. deliverance is going to come? You know what, well, what we're going

  21. to be able to do in this time of trouble, Matthew. That that's

  22. what I'm seeing here from from the just the general English reading without digging into

  23. the original languages. Well, I would agree, I would agree that once

  24. this is in context and you've read the first chapter, that's kind of what

  25. you would expect to get from this. This second chapter is a rhyme and

  26. a reason as to what happened? Was you delivered? Did you well?

  27. Did you fall in this? This thing you were in? But what amazes

  28. me is that now that you get here to the second chapter and you realize,

  29. now, why on earth would they be saying this as they go up

  30. to sell break the feast of Tabernacles during the thousand year reign of Christ.

  31. And of course you and I know that everybody is going to know the answer

  32. to those questions the day of the Lord. Now we're told that emphatically in

  33. the sixth seal event, right, nobody has any questions after that? Correct,

  34. So how solemn this is going to be, jose, because we all

  35. know there is another there is a second millennium war coming, correct, Yes,

  36. now that's what's going to blow your mind, ladies and gentlemen. When

  37. you know this, you realize that this sequence of these psalms of assent,

  38. they prepare you for the grand and final battle. If you can imagine,

  39. ladies and gentlemen, that during the thousand year reign of Christ, the first

  40. thing that really happens is Satan himself is bound and cast into the Abyss all

  41. by himself. Remember that all the other players have already been thrown headlong into

  42. the Lake of Fire. Satan, and Satan alone is chained up in that

  43. abyss for a thousand years during this time we're speaking of right now. It

  44. was the Battle of Armageddon that triggered the millennium, and it is the Battle

  45. of Gog and Magog that ends the millennium. So when you realize that,

  46. in preparing your mind for this thing, you've already been through the great tribulation.

  47. Okay, put this into contacts ladies and gentlemen, during the millennial reign

  48. of Christ, there's nothing anyone can tell you. You know it all,

  49. You've been through it all. Now there may be some things that you don't

  50. know. How horrible was out there in the outer darkness as the whole planet

  51. was being ripped apart out there in the tribulation, But you get the gist

  52. of everything that's going on, and you know what's to come. Because ladies

  53. and gentlemen, I've got to impress this upon you. You need to go

  54. to Revelation chapter six and read the six syll event because God the Father,

  55. he's going to tell you how it's going to be, and after that day

  56. you're not going to have any questions. And it's in that context you realize

  57. some of these verses say what they say because after that event, you're not

  58. going to be the same. Your psyche will be unalterable. From that point

  59. forward. You won't be able to change your mind about whether there's a millennial

  60. reign of Christ or not, whether Satan gets bound for a thousand years or

  61. not. I mean many, many, many, many people are deceived thinking

  62. that there is no millennial reign of Christ. But after the Great Day of

  63. the Lord. You're not going to be able to be deceived with any of

  64. that stuff. You're going to know. Lock Stock and Beryl put that into

  65. context with the Book of a Sense and realize that, well, during a

  66. millennial reign of Christ, Lotty Dottie, everybody's going to go up to celebrate

  67. the Feast of Tabernacles, and on your way going up there, you not

  68. only know what has happened, you're going to know what's to come, and

  69. there is nothing you can do about it. There's nothing you can do about

  70. it. So with that in mind, we need to take a read of

  71. this chapter. Jose you read last time? Correct or or was it me?

  72. No? I believe I read Matthew all right, so I think I'll

  73. go ahead and read this. I'm gonna switch it up and do the new

  74. King James version. It's a good version. You were going to say something,

  75. No, I said, Yeah, that sounds good. So if you're

  76. following along in your Bible, it might read a little bit differently. And

  77. there's some things I need to point out to you, because there's a reason

  78. why this The mainstream of this ministry is the New American Standard Bible of the

  79. ninety five update, and you're going to get it here because sometimes some words

  80. that it uses, like here in the opening stands it. It'll say heals,

  81. but that's not what it says in Hebrew. In that instance, the

  82. New American Standard Bible nineteen ninety five is a better translation. But you get

  83. the gist of it here. So, ladies and gentlemen, just eight short

  84. verses from the New King James version. I will lift my eyes to the

  85. hills from whence comes my help. My help comes from the Lord who made

  86. heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved. He

  87. who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel shall neither

  88. slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper. The Lord is your shade

  89. at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor

  90. the moon by night. The Lord shall reserve you from evil. He shall

  91. preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out, And you're coming

  92. in from this time forth and even forever more. How was that your thoughts?

  93. Yeah, this is pretty powerful words that are being said here, Matthew.

  94. So, like I said at the beginning of this psalm, I really

  95. get get the feeling of what's being talked about in Isaiah chapter forty. Well,

  96. we're told we're told to go up on a high mountain, and when

  97. we're supposed to get up there, and we're supposed to proclaim who our God

  98. is, who's coming right when that six yel events off. That's what we're

  99. told. We're also kind of told similar things in Matthew twenty four. Like

  100. I said, when Jesus said, when you see the abomination of desolation,

  101. run run to them, flee to the mountains, right that this same kind

  102. of analogy. And again, Matthew, you're not fleeing because you're terrified.

  103. You're fleeing because you know what is to come. You've been faithful, and

  104. so God has been faithful and know you what is to come. And so

  105. that's where I get the idea of the hinds feet of being you know,

  106. taken to that place that's prepared, because that's what God's promised us, Matthew.

  107. And so when when these things do kick off, even though there will

  108. be many people that are terrified, many many Christians that are terrified because well

  109. they're they're eschatology is a little bit different than what what God actually said,

  110. says it is going to occur. It's up to us to help those people

  111. remind those people of what God actually said, Matthew. And and if they

  112. are, if they are faithful, if they have been true, then then

  113. you know, God will have mercy on them and they'll follow us, you

  114. know, because well they'll understand that what they what they've been told by their

  115. shepherd is incorrect, Matthew. And so that that's what I get from the

  116. beginning start of this palm. Well, you know, let's put that into

  117. context a little bit, okay, and let's help people. Let's help people

  118. take a breath about what you just said. Now, I'm aware that some

  119. people will take umbrage at what jose said because he said that your eschatology may

  120. be different than ours, and then he said that when these events happens,

  121. you're going to be confused. Well, let me help you put that into

  122. context. Because the Lord Jesus Christ to this told you this absolutely. The

  123. New Testament says this absolutely, and I mean repeatedly. You are going to

  124. be persecuted. So I want you to understand this. You've got twenty three

  125. hundred days coming of persecution, and you need to understand that the end of

  126. this time, everything the Lord Jesus Christ said is going to come to pass,

  127. and most of your persecution will be coming from inside your church. Now,

  128. when I say church, I need to qualify to you what I'm saying.

  129. The word church does not exist in the Bible. What God says and

  130. what you use as church is called the ecclesia. The ecclesia is not a

  131. building. The only building mentioned in scripture that you are talking about where Christians

  132. are supposed to gather that in the Greek is called synagogue. And you need

  133. to understand, ladies and gentlemen, that God repeatedly tells you. He repeatedly

  134. tells you, and I would I would push you to go back in the

  135. archives and check the series that Jose and I did on the slaughter of the

  136. Shepherds, because you need to be aware that's who's going to facilitate most of

  137. the persecution against you. And at the end of that time, by the

  138. time this time that Jose talks about oh, you will be grossly aware.

  139. You will be grossly aware of what Ezekiel says about it. I mean,

  140. I can't spend a whole lot of time rattling off to you the verses.

  141. I'm telling you there's many chapters. Jose and I did a three part series

  142. on the slaughter of the shepherds, and you need to know. That's why,

  143. because you I don't want to get too extreme with my words. But

  144. by that time, you will be well aware that you have been deceived.

  145. Let me say that again. You will be well aware that you have been

  146. deceived, and you're going to spend a whole lot of time during those twenty

  147. three hundred days. Most appropriately, I need to tell you that, well,

  148. this is what the prophet Hagi Langley said to you. After nine hundred

  149. and sixty five days, you've got thirteen hundred and thirty five to go,

  150. and you're going to wish that you weren't going through them. But by the

  151. end of them, I assure you, any of your schatological points that are

  152. not contained in the Bible, God's Holy Word, you will have a dead

  153. reckoning of them. It will be perfectly obvious that those points that you were

  154. deceived on you'll have a dead reckoning. It will dawn on you by the

  155. end of those one three and thirty five days. So with that in mind,

  156. ladies, and gentlemen, you have to realize what jose said really is

  157. true. That if you've been misled, and we don't even have to go

  158. as to far as to say you've been deceived, because if you have a

  159. pastor that went to a theological seminary and he was given a list of questions

  160. on his final exam, if he did not answer those questions in the way

  161. that the institution wanted him to answer, he did not get his degree.

  162. And I didn't use the word truth or false in that statement for a recent

  163. and so you need to understand that if six of the questions on that final

  164. exam you had to lie in order to pass it, well, you just

  165. have to realize that is what's going on. That has been what is going

  166. on for quite some time now. But I'm here to tell you it'll be

  167. about the one thousandth day of the birth Pains that you will know in your

  168. hearts the Lord Jesus Christ was not lying to you in Matthew twenty four.

  169. Because all of these false eschatological points on your timeline, you will voluntarily throw

  170. them to the wayside. It'll be grossly obvious that you're in a paradigm as

  171. prescribed by scripture, not by fantasy, and not by science fiction. So,

  172. Jose, what do you think about this? This first stands to hear

  173. what you know, and I like how this is set up and basically comes

  174. at you two verses at a time. Basically, but I will lift up

  175. my eyes to the heels from whence comes my help. My help comes from

  176. the Lord who made heaven and earth. What's your thoughts on that stands on?

  177. Well, Matthew, I mean the mountain that he that he's talking about

  178. is Mountain Zion. I mean that that you can't help. But but but

  179. understand that part and that the Lord himself, God himself is coming down here.

  180. He's not sending his angels, He's not sending, you know, a

  181. judge to save us himself. He's coming down on that six sealed event.

  182. The fact that they reference Heaven and Earth here, Matthew, it does bring

  183. to mind that Tohuabohu and Jeremiah chapter four. I believe what he's going to

  184. do to reform the Earth at this time, that's what's going to enable all

  185. the other all the physical mountains to be laid low in all the valleys to

  186. be raised up that's what I'm getting out of those first two first two versus

  187. Matthew. Well, as far as I'm concerned, I mean, I can,

  188. boy, there's so much we can talk about here. But this is

  189. directly an answer to Isaiah chapter two, verses two and three. It's an

  190. exact approximation of that in Hebrew. There's no way you can read to both

  191. of these two sets of verses in Hebrew and not immediately see what God is

  192. doing because he uses the word mountain. Of course, the New King James

  193. version that I read here, it had heels there, but that word therefore

  194. mountain is horror in Hebrew. Now, when you put that together with the

  195. tetragrammacon YHVH in close proximity and reciprocate it over these Quinn sets of verses,

  196. you you can't be misled. Literally, these two sets of verses are saying

  197. the same thing, just reworded. Right now, let me read this for

  198. you out of the New King James version Isaiah chapter two, verses two and

  199. three. It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of

  200. the House of the Lord shall be established as the highest of the mountains,

  201. and shall be lifted up above the hills, and all the nations shall flow

  202. to it, and many people shall I'll come and say, come, let

  203. us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the

  204. God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways, and that we

  205. may walk in his path. For out of Zion shall go forth the law

  206. and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. Boy, there's just no mistaking

  207. that these two sets of verses are saying the exact same thing. I mean

  208. this work for horror. Now, look, ladies and gentlemen. I shouldn't

  209. have to say this, but I'm gonna have to keep reminding you because I

  210. keep getting correspondence with people with two hundred and fifty million questions, and it

  211. amazes me. How why would you come to me and with a brief description

  212. of what you thought I said, and you expect me to ask the ques

  213. question for you and then give you the answer. Ladies and gentlemen, My

  214. memory is good, but I don't remember every single thing that Jose says,

  215. and I don't remember every single thing that I say, So I don't know

  216. how you would expect me to answer question if I don't know what the question

  217. is. But you're wanting me to help you with the question to remember what

  218. jose and I said. So if you're going to participate in Marianath for ministries,

  219. you will be edified. That is inevitable. You are coming here to

  220. learn, So you need something to write with and something to write on.

  221. The Hebrew word for mountain in your strongest concordance is H twenty twenty two,

  222. twenty twenty two. Here what you heard the word lord. That is the

  223. tetragramicon. That's why HVH in our language, that is H thirty sixty eight.

  224. These are both used in both sets of verses. There is no mistaking

  225. these two sets of verses are literally saying the exact same things. Rewarded your

  226. your thoughts about that, Jose No, and it matches up in the Book

  227. of Revelation. Matthew, we're told in Revelation fourteen that the lamb is on

  228. mountains ion, and and that's exactly what these all these verses that we just

  229. read, that that's what it's discussing. That is that is the mountain of

  230. the Lord. I mean, I don't know, I don't know how else

  231. to put it, he repeats himself over and over with this, Matthew.

  232. And again if you look in in Revelation, that same word, whether you're

  233. looking in the Hebrew and the Greek, it's the same word that's used here

  234. in Psalm one and chapter two, and here in Isaiah chapter two, verses

  235. two and three. He established why this is a book of a sense,

  236. why you're going up. Now, we've discussed this many times. I don't

  237. need to do it at length. The Bible comes right out and says that

  238. in the world to come, in the millennial reign of Christ, God takes

  239. the oceans put them back in the storehouses, and especially during the millennial wars.

  240. Okay, he says that the earth has become a broad plane. Have

  241. we not covered this at length? Jose, Yes, These two verses in

  242. Isaiah chapter two just explain that to you. He's expecting you to have read

  243. all the Bible before. Let me say that again. He's expecting you to

  244. know that he says that he's going to put the oceans back in the storehouses.

  245. This will create a blaw a broad plane of the earth. He's expecting

  246. you to know these things. He's expecting you also to know that at that

  247. point in time, there's only going to be one source of fresh water on

  248. the planet, and that river is going to come out from the millennial Temple

  249. that Christ is going to rule from. You're supposed to know this. I

  250. mean, if you've not read the minor prophets by this point, if you

  251. haven't read the major profits by this point, then there's so many data points

  252. in your eschatology that are missing. Of course, this is going to confusion

  253. because you don't know what's to come. You don't know how to process this

  254. information. I mean, let me read this one more time Isaiah, chapter

  255. two, verses two and three from the New King James version. It shall

  256. come to pass that in the latter days that the mountain of the House of

  257. the Lord shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be

  258. lifted up above the hills, and all the nations shall flow to it.

  259. Here he is talking about what we covered last time in the Book of Zachariah.

  260. Lottie Doddie, everybody is going to go up and celebrate the feast of

  261. Tabernacles every year for a thousand consecutive years. Let me read on, and

  262. many people shall come and say, come, let us go up to the

  263. mountain. Of the Lord to the house of the God of Jacob, that

  264. he may teach us his ways, and that we may walk in his past.

  265. For out of Zion shall go forth the law and the word of the

  266. Lord from Jerusalem, Ladies and gentlemen. When you know that already, When

  267. you know that already, let me read the first two verses of Psalm one

  268. now, and now you're going to understand why he's saying it. Once you

  269. realize that the prophet Jeremiah says that you're going to get this. You're going

  270. to establish this planetary dynamic. The new geology has found how it's going to

  271. be done right there in Jeremiah, chapter four, verse twenty three. Okay,

  272. you're going to go tell who Boho, Yes you are, Yes you

  273. are. God's going to terra form. Now when he does that, you

  274. need to know he's also going to change the cosmology. He's going to change

  275. the Earth's orientation in the heavens. You you need to know that. You

  276. also need to know that the hours in the day are going to change,

  277. the numbers of day and a year are going to change. When you have

  278. that in context, listen to this one more time. Psalm one one verse

  279. one and two, I will lift up my eyes to the heels from whence

  280. comes my help. My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth.

  281. Now, with that in context behind the verses from Isaiah, you can

  282. understand exactly why he said what he said and in the ortar that he said

  283. it. And believe me when I say, when you're reciting this on your

  284. way up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles with the Lord Jesus Christ, you'll

  285. know exactly why you're saying it because hindsight is twenty twenty. Hindsight is twenty

  286. twenty, going to have an expanded experience of what these things mean and why

  287. you're obviously going up to shoe Coat you have to. You have to go

  288. up to the Feast of Tabernacles because it is literally the outcropping for the only

  289. freshwater spring on the planet. So it is actually a blister. Let me

  290. say that again, It's a geological blister on the surface of the planet.

  291. All the salt water that's been put into the storehouses are filtered out. There

  292. is no greater filtration system on the planet than dirt itself. The dirt is

  293. going to act like a massive Ogola Aquifer. Most of you know what the

  294. Ogola Aquifer. It's the largest aquifer here in the United States. Ladies and

  295. gentlemen, imagine if you will, that is exactly what's going to happen when

  296. you pump out water from the Ogola Aquifer. Nobody pumps out salt water.

  297. You do understand that, right, you know. If you didn't know that,

  298. if you didn't know that dirt is the perfect filtration system for sodium,

  299. well at least you learned that tonight, right Jose yep. But you need

  300. to realize that the Bible goes to great links to say that a river is

  301. going to come out from underneath the temple or I guess you would say the

  302. planet wide headquarters. However you'd like to look at it. That's the only

  303. fresh water spring, and it is elevated because the rest of the planet has

  304. been stretched out like a well, it's been stretched out like a blue or

  305. perhaps a pregnant wo But this is the mechination that explains to you why when

  306. we found these ancient mosquitoes trapped in the ember that had been fossilized, the

  307. bubbles in that ember contained oxygen at massive greater concentrations than our atmosphere does.

  308. Now. Now if I just shocked your system, I'm telling you the truth.

  309. The days of Noah was not like the days were in now, They

  310. were different days. Hose your thoughts about that, Yeah, Matthew, I

  311. think that's it's really important to understand the switch that occurs in this psalm that

  312. even though at first you're reading it and you kind of get this feeling like

  313. the answer, like the prayer was answered from the previous psalm, the last

  314. stanza here really tells us when God establishes his kingdom and how it's gonna how

  315. it's going to be, Because when you read that second stanzaup, it's exactly

  316. what we're told in Revelation chapter seven, exactly what we're told in Isaiah forty

  317. nine, where God says that we will no longer hunger nor thirst, right,

  318. the sun will not beat down on us. That's that's exactly what what

  319. what you're just discussed, that's exactly what he's saying here in this stanza.

  320. And and boy, that that last verse really hits me hard, Matthew.

  321. It says that the Lord will guard your going out and you're coming in from

  322. this time forth and forever, because that's exactly what he says in Isaiah chapter

  323. two, because he's going to teach us his ways. He's going to teach

  324. us to walk in his paths. And out of Zion shall go forth the

  325. law and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. That's that that rod of

  326. iron, that to sword that we're told about. And the only time this

  327. can take place is when he sets up his son as his king, Matthew,

  328. when he fulfills what he's promised his son man. And it can be

  329. and it can be no other way than that, And of all makes sense,

  330. right, Matthew, I mean, yes, it kind of all makes

  331. sense. It really does make sense. And you know that's one of the

  332. things that you and I have talked about many times. Way back when you

  333. first participated in this ministry. It shook you that I said that that God

  334. did not write the Bible to confuse you, amen, And I went to

  335. great links to show you that didn't. I yes, which at that point

  336. I had to put all my faith in that statement because I was confused you

  337. were. I just had to have faith that God God would be faithful.

  338. And that's exactly what I was telling you. Amen, That's exactly what I

  339. was telling you, and you just kept asking questions, and I just kept

  340. reading you Bible verses. Yep. Now, ladies and gentlemen, you all

  341. need to know that that you probably expected that Jose and I had massive,

  342. long phone conversations privately. I assure you that's not what happened. Yes,

  343. Jose and I have spoken privately many times, but never in the way you

  344. think he would propose questions. He would he would say, well, what

  345. does this mean? What does that mean? And I'd say, will We'll

  346. do that on the next show, And we'd read it, wouldn't we Jose.

  347. That's exactly how we did it. Matthew, and I didn't explain anything

  348. to you. I read it to you. And gentlemen, I don't know

  349. why you think I would be able to put it to you better than the

  350. Bible, God's Holy Word. It's just that you have failed to make it

  351. a light into your feet and a lamp into your path. Did you catch

  352. that? Let me reverse it for you. You failed to make the Bible,

  353. God's Holy Word a lamp and to your feet and a light and to

  354. your path. That's what you fail to do. The only thing I can

  355. do is point out to you where he tells you about that information. I

  356. mean, for example, we talked about this tonight. How is it that

  357. there can be churches that have the Lord Jesus Christ name out on the sign

  358. and yet they don't believe in the millennial reign of Christ? When well,

  359. ladies and gentlemen, you can plainly read that there's some lineal reign of Christ

  360. and that mechanism is facilitated by not just one, but two or three events.

  361. Those two or three events are clearly defined as being one thousand years in

  362. duration. I mean, you have to make up a science fiction fantasy to

  363. go around a millennial reign of Christ. I mean that nullifies creation altogether,

  364. doesn't that? Jose? I mean, if God can't have his planet run

  365. his way, then what's the point, ladies and gentleman, Because that's never

  366. happened yet. The only time this planet has ran the way God wanted it

  367. was the days before the Fall in Genesis chapter three. So if you think

  368. God created all the heavens and all the earth to never have it run the

  369. way he runs it, well that's confusing to me all in itself. Of

  370. course, God's going to have his creation run his way. Of course he

  371. is. And the problem is is that very few people like it, do

  372. they, Jose, Right, Matthew, They kick against that. They kick

  373. against it. Boy, that's an understatement. Boy. They love their chronomers,

  374. that their chronomers and their currencies, don't they. Yes, they really

  375. do. They love their mechanations of control that they exert over people. I

  376. love it. All right. Let's take a look at this second stands and

  377. now you've already brought something up here that this is obviously talking about the hinds

  378. feet. But let me read these two verses again and you'll be able to

  379. hear it. Ladies and gentlemen, Verse three and four, he will not

  380. allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

  381. Behold, he who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. Now my first

  382. question to that, Jose, is how's that physically possible? I mean,

  383. I thought it was. I thought this was supposed to happen with the root

  384. of David, right right, supposed to be one of David's descendants. Now,

  385. at the time of the building of the Second Temple, that was zerubbable,

  386. correct, correct, So this obviously isn't zerubbable. It's obviously not.

  387. We know God has established his king on Mount Zion. There is no taking

  388. that back. I mean here Psalm chapter two, verse six. As for

  389. me, I have set my king on Zion, my only hell. This

  390. is talking about the Lord Jesus Christ. It must be yes, and he

  391. does not slumber or sleep. Correct. Correct? So your thoughts about this,

  392. Stanza, No, I think I think you're You're perfectly right there,

  393. Matthew. What this is talking about? This? Like I said, it

  394. sounds like the hinds feet, But once he starts getting into him physically keeping

  395. you him, him physically being the one who's gonna is gonna watch over you.

  396. That really that that sounds exactly like what I read in Revelation chapter seven.

  397. Matthew says he who sits on the throne will spit his taper nacle over

  398. them, and it says the lamb is in the center of that throne.

  399. He will be their shepherd and he will guide them. So I don't know,

  400. I don't know what other perfect description, Matthew of those set of verses.

  401. Then then then how a shepherd takes care of his sheep. That's that's

  402. kind of his job right, and we're told who God Shepherd is, who

  403. he has appointed over us, and and who will be his king to perform

  404. that function. So yeah, I think that matches exactly what what what we

  405. read there and so them too, and exactly what we read in Revelation chapter

  406. seven. You're right, it absolutely does. And and amen and amen man,

  407. we still need to read the verses about the hinds feet. We really

  408. do, you know, ladies and gentlemen, uh first and foremost. Second

  409. Samuel chapter to verse thirty four. He makes my feet like heinz feet,

  410. and sets me on my high places. The same thing is reciprocated in Psalms

  411. eighteen, verse thirty three. Because it is the same exact verse. It's

  412. the same thing. Many people don't realize that that stands of that song.

  413. It's both in both chapters. It's the same thing. So you might want

  414. to write that down and look at it later. And Habakuka three, verse

  415. nineteen. The Lord God is my strength. He has made my feet like

  416. Heinz feet, and makes me to walk on my high places for the choir

  417. director on my stringed instruments. That's an interesting way to translate that last phrase.

  418. But anyway, ladies and gentlemen, make this. Be sure that you

  419. understand that how you are now, you're not going to be the same way

  420. then. And you need to know that when he's talking about these particular verses,

  421. you need to realize that this is the first set of changes that you

  422. will go through. This set of changes occurs after Operation Eagles Wings during the

  423. one thousand and sixty day Tribulation. Now, if I said that and I

  424. confused you once again, it's because you don't have what is to come put

  425. down in systematic eschatology. Because eschatology is systematic, and this is going to

  426. happen. It is going to happen. And at this point where you're singing

  427. Psalm one twenty one, as you go up to the feast of Patternackles every

  428. year, ladies and gentlemen, you're going to do that in your resurrected body.

  429. Now I just confused a lot of people, because well, that's impossible.

  430. I mean, the rapture comes before the resurrection, right, those of

  431. you who have who have been who have been taught, well, I need

  432. to say it for what it is. You've been deceived. For one,

  433. that word rapture is Latin for rape. Now that may have really upset you,

  434. and I'm sorry, but I am telling you the truth. Now,

  435. ladies and gentleman, you also need to know that that word comes from Shakespeare.

  436. It's in for shakespeare place. That's where the word rapture comes from.

  437. It comes from Shakespeare. So you need to be aware that what you call

  438. the rapture is actually the event that the Bible calls the resurrection, and that

  439. happens at the return of Christ. So you need to understand that during the

  440. millennial reign of Christ, you will have your resurrected body. Now I want

  441. you to let this sink in as I read these two verses again. Note,

  442. you're going to have what you've been taught so far in your life,

  443. a raptured body, I guess, but it's what the Greek calls. It

  444. is your anastasis anatomy. But that's what it says. Imagine if you will,

  445. you're in your resurrected body and you're reciting this, He will not allow

  446. my foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold

  447. keeps Israel Schell, neither slumber nor sleep. Ladies and gentlemen, What makes

  448. you think that a resurrected body needs to sleep. What makes you think you

  449. need rest? M h. How's that your thoughts on this? No,

  450. Matthew, I think I think that's why when when I initially read it,

  451. I think that's why it hit me about the hinds feet, it hit me

  452. that it's what's gonna enable us what two well to to endure the time until

  453. operations eagles wings, It's it's it's what's gonna allow us to actually follow our

  454. shepherd, to follow in his footsteps, to follow where he guides us be

  455. because at this point where we're at right now, Matthew, we just can't.

  456. We can't physically do it. There's too many well, just the flesh,

  457. just the way our flesh operates right now. That's why. That's why

  458. we fall into temptation, That's why we fall into sin because of the way

  459. our flesh is right now. That's why the whole reason we need to sleep

  460. is so that we can recover and our body can can recuperate and be able

  461. to function normally the next day. But of course, each day we function

  462. less and less because because we're getting older, because we're aging, because we're

  463. getting closer to that to that time that we die. So if he is

  464. to, if what he's promised us about our resurrection body, if what he's

  465. promised us about keeping us from death is true, then that has to be

  466. what this saw. I'm the saying, Matthew, this has to be again

  467. more more reminders of the promise us, promises that he's given us, because

  468. Matthew, God himself can be here telling us his law. And you know,

  469. Matthew, that once he walks away, our flesh is weak and we're

  470. gonna stumble because we are not his son. We are not perfect, Matthew.

  471. And as much as I wish that I would be able to say that,

  472. you know, if I received the law directly from God, if I

  473. had you know, his myriads of angels there to remind me of his law,

  474. I mean, I'm human, Matthew. And so it's not gonna be

  475. until we get our resurrection body. It's not going to be until we've been

  476. affected by our Lord that that's even going to be possible. What what what

  477. God tells us in Isaiah chapter two, and what God tells us here in

  478. Psalm one twenty one for that to even be true, Matthew, that that's

  479. the only that's the only physical way for that to be true, because we're

  480. because we're human. Well, you know, I couldn't have put that better

  481. myself, because we're human. Right, It's it's it's hard to say,

  482. Matthew, but but that's just that's just what I'm getting from reading from reading

  483. it, you know, that's just what that's just been my become my understanding

  484. now well, you know, and that is to say, your understanding is

  485. a whole lot different than it was when you were twenty years old, right

  486. amen? Amen, I mean I would say that in the past thirteen years,

  487. I would have to say this, Jose, I would say that you

  488. didn't acquire understanding until the last thirteen years of your life. I'd agree.

  489. Now, Jose, I remember the first conversation I had with you, and

  490. to you, hindsight's twenty twenty, right. I mean, let me ask

  491. you this, What would you do if I was to go back fourteen years

  492. and get that Jose and bring him here and have him ask you, so,

  493. so, what's going to happen during the tribulation? How are we going

  494. to get there? Right? How would you explain that to him? Start

  495. on chapter one, verse one suck read. I'd have to agree with you.

  496. It would be quite an undertaking. And you can imagine, amen,

  497. you can imagine me sitting there taking a deep breath like, oh boys,

  498. right, because now you do have one. I mean, I really don't

  499. have to read this chapter with you? Do I no, Matthew, although

  500. I I thoroughly love it. I love reading with you. I love learning

  501. with when I'm when i'm reading it with you. But yeah, I have

  502. no excuse now, Matthew. That that's pretty much yet. You know you

  503. have no excuse, Amen, Like how you put that, you don't have

  504. any excuse? Now, Oh my goodness. That's that's that's pretty good.

  505. All right, Jose Let's take a look at the next stanza. The Lord

  506. is your keeper, The Lord is your shade, your right hand. The

  507. sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. Your

  508. thoughts about this stands a very curious, well, very impossible, right,

  509. a very impossible thing to say in this paradigm. But what's your thoughts?

  510. Well, just like I said before, Matthew, when I read that right

  511. away, that took me to Revelation chapter seven. That's exactly that's exactly what

  512. it says there at the end of the chapter about how it's going to be

  513. during the millennial reign. Again, we've discussed how how this is not There's

  514. no way that we could be in the millennial reign of Christ right now because

  515. these things are not taking place. We have Christians that hunger, Christians that

  516. thirst, you know, we have we have people that you and I both

  517. know, Matthew, that are Bible believers in our faith and are still suffering.

  518. But we're holding to those promises that God's given us. And look,

  519. I think you could probably describe to us the scientific details and the exact machinations

  520. of how this is going to take place, how God rearranges not only the

  521. earth but also the heavens to enable this to take place actually physically. But

  522. we know that God's promised this this, Matthew, not only in Book A

  523. Revelation, but also in Isaiah chapter forty nine, like I discussed before,

  524. and when you read both of those chapters, it clearly is talking about the

  525. millennial rain. It's not talking about any time previous to that. Sure,

  526. I mean most particular verse ten, they shall not hunger or thirst, neither

  527. scorching win, nor sun shall strike them, for he who has pity on

  528. them will lead them, and by springs of water will guide them. Amen.

  529. Yep. And we certainly don't have time to get into all of Isaiah

  530. chapter forty nine. There's no way to do that. But remember that all

  531. of you should know this, that the Bible comes right out and says that

  532. during this time that the Lord he will be your sunshine. He will be

  533. your source of illumination. Shall we say he will be your source of light?

  534. And there's just no taking that back. But I mean, Isaiah chapter

  535. forty nine, verse ten is just a reiteration of Revelation chapter seven, verse

  536. sixteen. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst no more. The sun

  537. shall not like them, nor any scorching heat. You're going to be different.

  538. You're not going to be the same that you are now. If you

  539. think you're going to be raptured, that's fine and dandy when you're executing this

  540. during the millennial reign of Christ. Don't you understand that during the millennial Reign

  541. of Christ, everybody goes up to Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.

  542. Let that sink in, ladies and gentlemen, you're going to do this in

  543. a resurrected body. It's enough to blow your mind. I know it's enough

  544. to blow your mind. Last Stanza, the Lord shall preserve you from all

  545. evil. He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out,

  546. and you're coming in from this time forth and even forever more. Now,

  547. obviously to me, this is an answer to fest of Salonian's cha five,

  548. verse twenty three. Most people just have no idea what I'm talking about.

  549. It's there that God tells you that he does something to you to protect

  550. your body, mind, and spirit to the perugi of Christ. Here this

  551. has become a permanent feature. Hose your thoughts, Amen, Matthew. Yeah,

  552. there's there's just again, this is just it's it's just repeating what we've

  553. already said before. Matthew. The only way for this to take place is

  554. when is when you know, God sets up the millennial reign of his son.

  555. That's when he promised us all these things are going to take place because

  556. we've read these We've read these verses in the past and we've prayed for them

  557. to be true. Now, Matthew, we've prayed for them that we you

  558. know that we be physically preserved, but that our that our spirit would be

  559. preserved. You know, That's that's the Lord's player, right, Deliver us,

  560. not temptation, right, keep us from evil. I mean, that's

  561. that's what we pray every day when we say the Lord's prayer. And this

  562. is where God fulfills that promise, Matthew, this is where he establishes that

  563. himself, with his son and his son's kingdom, the rot of iron that

  564. his son sets up, all these promises are going to come true. And

  565. so when I hear Christians say that we are currently in the millennial reign of

  566. Christ, or that this is some type of fulfillment of what God's promised not

  567. only in swe but what He's promised in First Desaloni's to chapter five, I'm

  568. I just can't understand why you would say that, because there's there's too much

  569. suffering, too much evil, too much sin right for me to even halfway

  570. believe that, Matthew. It's it's just I just can't I can't fathom it.

  571. So amen to what God's saying here in this last Danza, because I

  572. can't wait for that to happen. You're right about that, you know,

  573. I love the Last verse. I have to bring this up. I mean,

  574. you realize that this last verse is an answer to all the blessings in

  575. Deuteronomy chapter twenty eight. Ladies and gentlemen, if you don't know, God

  576. gives you a great big list of blessings you will incur and curses you will

  577. incur if you don't do these things. So let me let me just read

  578. verse one of Deuteronomy chapter twenty eight. Now that shall be if you diligently

  579. obey the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments which I

  580. can demand you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all

  581. the nations of the yearth verse two. All these blessings will come upon you

  582. and overtake you if you obey the Lord your God. Take note, let's

  583. jump down here to verse six, because it literally is a reciprocation of how

  584. Psalm one ends, Blessed you shall be when you come in, and blessed

  585. shall you be when you go out. Deuteronomy chapter twenty eight can only be

  586. fulfilled. Now that we've did our commentary, take a read of Deuteronomy chapter

  587. twenty eight, and, knowing your heart, it can only be fulfilled in

  588. a superior anatomy than your own blessings and curses of Deuteronomy chapter twenty eight.

  589. Those blessings can only be answered in a resurrected body. Now I know most

  590. of you I've traditionally called that a raptured body. You need to get away

  591. from that. The Bible is very clear that you receive your anastasis anatomy.

  592. The Greek says you'll be. You'll go through a change called a lagosmuthea that

  593. happens after return of Christ, that happens at the resurrection. That's when it

  594. happens. And you're going to go through these verses in that resurrected anatomy.

  595. So many things that I couldn't cover tonight. Jose While, before we jump

  596. off here, why don't you describe this well? I don't want to be

  597. too wordy and get off on this great big diatribe. You need to know

  598. that this chapter's magical, gentlemen, because it produces a chiasm. What is

  599. a chiasm? A chiasm is not from the Hebrew, It's from the Greek,

  600. the Greek letter kai, which is what you call an x. So

  601. this chapter creates a seesaw. The verse in the middle is a pivot point,

  602. and the verses that flank it, both before and after, create like

  603. a seesaw hose. Why don't you describe this kiasm that is created in uh

  604. Psalm one please? Yeah, it's kind of amazing, Matthew, the way

  605. this is set up, and I'm trying to think the best way to describe

  606. this to the listener. But the first couple verses right there say you know,

  607. where is my help coming from? My help comes from the Lord,

  608. and that mirrors the last two verses seven and eight, where it says the

  609. Lord shall preserve thee from evil, he shall preserve thy soul. So you

  610. have there seeking help, and then it's answered and where that help comes from

  611. and how the Lord is going to do that. And then when you jump

  612. down, God describes in verse two that he made the heaven and the earth,

  613. and in verse six he describes that creation by talking about the sun and

  614. the moon. And then in verse three we're told that thy foot will not

  615. be moved. And then jump down to verse five and we're told that the

  616. Lord is thy aid upon thy right hand. So you're seeing these mirror mirror

  617. of these descriptions, Matthew, of what he's talking about and it culminates in

  618. the in the very center of this psalm, he says, he that keeps

  619. thee will not slumber. Behold he that keeps Israel sounding either slumber nor sleep,

  620. and the verse five, the Lord is thy keeper. So this is

  621. this is pretty amazing, Matthew, the way God set up this psalm right

  622. there, right there in the middle, it's it's that pivot point where I

  623. mean, the only way I can describe it is is before you're giving your

  624. your hinds feet that that's the only way I can describe it. That you

  625. know, before right before God, God comes down, does what he has

  626. to do, and then he said up his son. This is just it's

  627. just pretty amazing the way this psalm is set up, Matthew. I don't

  628. I'm kind of out a loss for words for how God does this does this

  629. it's it's enough to bother your mind. Now you're seeing God's fingerprint right,

  630. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Just so you know, I could have designed

  631. this study based off of this chiasm. You think you know everything there is

  632. to know about this psalm. Now you think that you can get you a

  633. pomption chain reference Bible and start going through the cross references and find everything that

  634. Jose and I talked about. I assure you you don't have a fraction of

  635. what God's Word has to offer. Now, now that Jose's looking at this,

  636. his mind is probably calculating that there's higher things at play, Right,

  637. Jose, that I didn't get a chance to talk about. Right. The

  638. Bible, God's Holy Word has so much information. It has so much information

  639. that you cannot contain it in your present anatomy. But when you receive your

  640. resurrected anatomy, you will be able to see all the information contained in the

  641. Bible God's Holy Word. He did not write it to confuse you. As

  642. a matter of fact, he give you ten thousand more data points than you

  643. require to know. Ladies and gentlemen, you only need a dictionary size out

  644. of information to understand what is to come. He gives you the full set

  645. of the Encyclopedia Britannica, both the pedias and the Macropedias. Jose, please

  646. take us out of here in prayer. Dear heavenly Father, whom we love

  647. and serve, we thank you once again for drawing us together to study your

  648. word. Lord. I pray for the ecclesia that is currently suffering, that

  649. is currently hungering, that is currently thirsty. Lord, Please remind them of

  650. your promises. Please remind them of what you have given us during the millennial

  651. reign of your son. Please remind us, remind them that we must endure

  652. what is currently going on, that we must endure further persecution that is to

  653. come. And please give us the strength to endure this and to enable us

  654. to help others to endure this persecution. Lord, we understand that if we

  655. are faithful in this, you will be faithful to us and fulfill what you

  656. have promised us in your word, when your son returns, when you have

  657. set up his kingdom, when you have made the nations his footstool. As

  658. much as it is impossible for our mind to comprehend everything that you've promised us,

  659. we ask that you give us faith, Lord, to endure what is

  660. to come. And I ask all this in the name of your son,

  661. our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen and Amen. Until

  662. next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless God speed. Thank you for
