Do you know the Bible is God's Holy Word? Do you know it is
-
inspired, in errant, and infallible? If so, like, share,
-
subscribe and support this podcast. So we are mere Nathal Ministries and now Redemption
-
draweth nigh. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program. We
-
are your host Hosea and Matthew. Tonight we are getting to the second chapter
-
of the Book of a sense and a very short burst for a chapter here.
-
But if you don't know the context of this chapter and looking at it,
-
well, it could just read like it's just some random verses. So
-
hose when you when you look over these verses, I mean, very very
-
very short chapter here, what's your first takeaway from it? I mean,
-
what impression does it leave you? You know, Matthew, because because of
-
what we've been we've been studying what we've been reading. Right away, it
-
takes me to certain passages in Matthew twenty four, certain passages in Isaiah forty.
-
Of course, you can't help but get the idea of the hindz feet
-
in this set of versus when you compare it to the previous chapter where you
-
know they were getting beaten up. Peace was being taken from them, war
-
was coming, trouble, all these you know, being among liars and in
-
the deceitful kind of a cry for help. And then this really seems to
-
be that answer to that, to that crime. Matthew. Where where that
-
deliverance is going to come? You know what, well, what we're going
-
to be able to do in this time of trouble, Matthew. That that's
-
what I'm seeing here from from the just the general English reading without digging into
-
the original languages. Well, I would agree, I would agree that once
-
this is in context and you've read the first chapter, that's kind of what
-
you would expect to get from this. This second chapter is a rhyme and
-
a reason as to what happened? Was you delivered? Did you well?
-
Did you fall in this? This thing you were in? But what amazes
-
me is that now that you get here to the second chapter and you realize,
-
now, why on earth would they be saying this as they go up
-
to sell break the feast of Tabernacles during the thousand year reign of Christ.
-
And of course you and I know that everybody is going to know the answer
-
to those questions the day of the Lord. Now we're told that emphatically in
-
the sixth seal event, right, nobody has any questions after that? Correct,
-
So how solemn this is going to be, jose, because we all
-
know there is another there is a second millennium war coming, correct, Yes,
-
now that's what's going to blow your mind, ladies and gentlemen. When
-
you know this, you realize that this sequence of these psalms of assent,
-
they prepare you for the grand and final battle. If you can imagine,
-
ladies and gentlemen, that during the thousand year reign of Christ, the first
-
thing that really happens is Satan himself is bound and cast into the Abyss all
-
by himself. Remember that all the other players have already been thrown headlong into
-
the Lake of Fire. Satan, and Satan alone is chained up in that
-
abyss for a thousand years during this time we're speaking of right now. It
-
was the Battle of Armageddon that triggered the millennium, and it is the Battle
-
of Gog and Magog that ends the millennium. So when you realize that,
-
in preparing your mind for this thing, you've already been through the great tribulation.
-
Okay, put this into contacts ladies and gentlemen, during the millennial reign
-
of Christ, there's nothing anyone can tell you. You know it all,
-
You've been through it all. Now there may be some things that you don't
-
know. How horrible was out there in the outer darkness as the whole planet
-
was being ripped apart out there in the tribulation, But you get the gist
-
of everything that's going on, and you know what's to come. Because ladies
-
and gentlemen, I've got to impress this upon you. You need to go
-
to Revelation chapter six and read the six syll event because God the Father,
-
he's going to tell you how it's going to be, and after that day
-
you're not going to have any questions. And it's in that context you realize
-
some of these verses say what they say because after that event, you're not
-
going to be the same. Your psyche will be unalterable. From that point
-
forward. You won't be able to change your mind about whether there's a millennial
-
reign of Christ or not, whether Satan gets bound for a thousand years or
-
not. I mean many, many, many, many people are deceived thinking
-
that there is no millennial reign of Christ. But after the Great Day of
-
the Lord. You're not going to be able to be deceived with any of
-
that stuff. You're going to know. Lock Stock and Beryl put that into
-
context with the Book of a Sense and realize that, well, during a
-
millennial reign of Christ, Lotty Dottie, everybody's going to go up to celebrate
-
the Feast of Tabernacles, and on your way going up there, you not
-
only know what has happened, you're going to know what's to come, and
-
there is nothing you can do about it. There's nothing you can do about
-
it. So with that in mind, we need to take a read of
-
this chapter. Jose you read last time? Correct or or was it me?
-
No? I believe I read Matthew all right, so I think I'll
-
go ahead and read this. I'm gonna switch it up and do the new
-
King James version. It's a good version. You were going to say something,
-
No, I said, Yeah, that sounds good. So if you're
-
following along in your Bible, it might read a little bit differently. And
-
there's some things I need to point out to you, because there's a reason
-
why this The mainstream of this ministry is the New American Standard Bible of the
-
ninety five update, and you're going to get it here because sometimes some words
-
that it uses, like here in the opening stands it. It'll say heals,
-
but that's not what it says in Hebrew. In that instance, the
-
New American Standard Bible nineteen ninety five is a better translation. But you get
-
the gist of it here. So, ladies and gentlemen, just eight short
-
verses from the New King James version. I will lift my eyes to the
-
hills from whence comes my help. My help comes from the Lord who made
-
heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved. He
-
who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel shall neither
-
slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper. The Lord is your shade
-
at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor
-
the moon by night. The Lord shall reserve you from evil. He shall
-
preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out, And you're coming
-
in from this time forth and even forever more. How was that your thoughts?
-
Yeah, this is pretty powerful words that are being said here, Matthew.
-
So, like I said at the beginning of this psalm, I really
-
get get the feeling of what's being talked about in Isaiah chapter forty. Well,
-
we're told we're told to go up on a high mountain, and when
-
we're supposed to get up there, and we're supposed to proclaim who our God
-
is, who's coming right when that six yel events off. That's what we're
-
told. We're also kind of told similar things in Matthew twenty four. Like
-
I said, when Jesus said, when you see the abomination of desolation,
-
run run to them, flee to the mountains, right that this same kind
-
of analogy. And again, Matthew, you're not fleeing because you're terrified.
-
You're fleeing because you know what is to come. You've been faithful, and
-
so God has been faithful and know you what is to come. And so
-
that's where I get the idea of the hinds feet of being you know,
-
taken to that place that's prepared, because that's what God's promised us, Matthew.
-
And so when when these things do kick off, even though there will
-
be many people that are terrified, many many Christians that are terrified because well
-
they're they're eschatology is a little bit different than what what God actually said,
-
says it is going to occur. It's up to us to help those people
-
remind those people of what God actually said, Matthew. And and if they
-
are, if they are faithful, if they have been true, then then
-
you know, God will have mercy on them and they'll follow us, you
-
know, because well they'll understand that what they what they've been told by their
-
shepherd is incorrect, Matthew. And so that that's what I get from the
-
beginning start of this palm. Well, you know, let's put that into
-
context a little bit, okay, and let's help people. Let's help people
-
take a breath about what you just said. Now, I'm aware that some
-
people will take umbrage at what jose said because he said that your eschatology may
-
be different than ours, and then he said that when these events happens,
-
you're going to be confused. Well, let me help you put that into
-
context. Because the Lord Jesus Christ to this told you this absolutely. The
-
New Testament says this absolutely, and I mean repeatedly. You are going to
-
be persecuted. So I want you to understand this. You've got twenty three
-
hundred days coming of persecution, and you need to understand that the end of
-
this time, everything the Lord Jesus Christ said is going to come to pass,
-
and most of your persecution will be coming from inside your church. Now,
-
when I say church, I need to qualify to you what I'm saying.
-
The word church does not exist in the Bible. What God says and
-
what you use as church is called the ecclesia. The ecclesia is not a
-
building. The only building mentioned in scripture that you are talking about where Christians
-
are supposed to gather that in the Greek is called synagogue. And you need
-
to understand, ladies and gentlemen, that God repeatedly tells you. He repeatedly
-
tells you, and I would I would push you to go back in the
-
archives and check the series that Jose and I did on the slaughter of the
-
Shepherds, because you need to be aware that's who's going to facilitate most of
-
the persecution against you. And at the end of that time, by the
-
time this time that Jose talks about oh, you will be grossly aware.
-
You will be grossly aware of what Ezekiel says about it. I mean,
-
I can't spend a whole lot of time rattling off to you the verses.
-
I'm telling you there's many chapters. Jose and I did a three part series
-
on the slaughter of the shepherds, and you need to know. That's why,
-
because you I don't want to get too extreme with my words. But
-
by that time, you will be well aware that you have been deceived.
-
Let me say that again. You will be well aware that you have been
-
deceived, and you're going to spend a whole lot of time during those twenty
-
three hundred days. Most appropriately, I need to tell you that, well,
-
this is what the prophet Hagi Langley said to you. After nine hundred
-
and sixty five days, you've got thirteen hundred and thirty five to go,
-
and you're going to wish that you weren't going through them. But by the
-
end of them, I assure you, any of your schatological points that are
-
not contained in the Bible, God's Holy Word, you will have a dead
-
reckoning of them. It will be perfectly obvious that those points that you were
-
deceived on you'll have a dead reckoning. It will dawn on you by the
-
end of those one three and thirty five days. So with that in mind,
-
ladies, and gentlemen, you have to realize what jose said really is
-
true. That if you've been misled, and we don't even have to go
-
as to far as to say you've been deceived, because if you have a
-
pastor that went to a theological seminary and he was given a list of questions
-
on his final exam, if he did not answer those questions in the way
-
that the institution wanted him to answer, he did not get his degree.
-
And I didn't use the word truth or false in that statement for a recent
-
and so you need to understand that if six of the questions on that final
-
exam you had to lie in order to pass it, well, you just
-
have to realize that is what's going on. That has been what is going
-
on for quite some time now. But I'm here to tell you it'll be
-
about the one thousandth day of the birth Pains that you will know in your
-
hearts the Lord Jesus Christ was not lying to you in Matthew twenty four.
-
Because all of these false eschatological points on your timeline, you will voluntarily throw
-
them to the wayside. It'll be grossly obvious that you're in a paradigm as
-
prescribed by scripture, not by fantasy, and not by science fiction. So,
-
Jose, what do you think about this? This first stands to hear
-
what you know, and I like how this is set up and basically comes
-
at you two verses at a time. Basically, but I will lift up
-
my eyes to the heels from whence comes my help. My help comes from
-
the Lord who made heaven and earth. What's your thoughts on that stands on?
-
Well, Matthew, I mean the mountain that he that he's talking about
-
is Mountain Zion. I mean that that you can't help. But but but
-
understand that part and that the Lord himself, God himself is coming down here.
-
He's not sending his angels, He's not sending, you know, a
-
judge to save us himself. He's coming down on that six sealed event.
-
The fact that they reference Heaven and Earth here, Matthew, it does bring
-
to mind that Tohuabohu and Jeremiah chapter four. I believe what he's going to
-
do to reform the Earth at this time, that's what's going to enable all
-
the other all the physical mountains to be laid low in all the valleys to
-
be raised up that's what I'm getting out of those first two first two versus
-
Matthew. Well, as far as I'm concerned, I mean, I can,
-
boy, there's so much we can talk about here. But this is
-
directly an answer to Isaiah chapter two, verses two and three. It's an
-
exact approximation of that in Hebrew. There's no way you can read to both
-
of these two sets of verses in Hebrew and not immediately see what God is
-
doing because he uses the word mountain. Of course, the New King James
-
version that I read here, it had heels there, but that word therefore
-
mountain is horror in Hebrew. Now, when you put that together with the
-
tetragrammacon YHVH in close proximity and reciprocate it over these Quinn sets of verses,
-
you you can't be misled. Literally, these two sets of verses are saying
-
the same thing, just reworded. Right now, let me read this for
-
you out of the New King James version Isaiah chapter two, verses two and
-
three. It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of
-
the House of the Lord shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
-
and shall be lifted up above the hills, and all the nations shall flow
-
to it, and many people shall I'll come and say, come, let
-
us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the
-
God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways, and that we
-
may walk in his path. For out of Zion shall go forth the law
-
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. Boy, there's just no mistaking
-
that these two sets of verses are saying the exact same thing. I mean
-
this work for horror. Now, look, ladies and gentlemen. I shouldn't
-
have to say this, but I'm gonna have to keep reminding you because I
-
keep getting correspondence with people with two hundred and fifty million questions, and it
-
amazes me. How why would you come to me and with a brief description
-
of what you thought I said, and you expect me to ask the ques
-
question for you and then give you the answer. Ladies and gentlemen, My
-
memory is good, but I don't remember every single thing that Jose says,
-
and I don't remember every single thing that I say, So I don't know
-
how you would expect me to answer question if I don't know what the question
-
is. But you're wanting me to help you with the question to remember what
-
jose and I said. So if you're going to participate in Marianath for ministries,
-
you will be edified. That is inevitable. You are coming here to
-
learn, So you need something to write with and something to write on.
-
The Hebrew word for mountain in your strongest concordance is H twenty twenty two,
-
twenty twenty two. Here what you heard the word lord. That is the
-
tetragramicon. That's why HVH in our language, that is H thirty sixty eight.
-
These are both used in both sets of verses. There is no mistaking
-
these two sets of verses are literally saying the exact same things. Rewarded your
-
your thoughts about that, Jose No, and it matches up in the Book
-
of Revelation. Matthew, we're told in Revelation fourteen that the lamb is on
-
mountains ion, and and that's exactly what these all these verses that we just
-
read, that that's what it's discussing. That is that is the mountain of
-
the Lord. I mean, I don't know, I don't know how else
-
to put it, he repeats himself over and over with this, Matthew.
-
And again if you look in in Revelation, that same word, whether you're
-
looking in the Hebrew and the Greek, it's the same word that's used here
-
in Psalm one and chapter two, and here in Isaiah chapter two, verses
-
two and three. He established why this is a book of a sense,
-
why you're going up. Now, we've discussed this many times. I don't
-
need to do it at length. The Bible comes right out and says that
-
in the world to come, in the millennial reign of Christ, God takes
-
the oceans put them back in the storehouses, and especially during the millennial wars.
-
Okay, he says that the earth has become a broad plane. Have
-
we not covered this at length? Jose, Yes, These two verses in
-
Isaiah chapter two just explain that to you. He's expecting you to have read
-
all the Bible before. Let me say that again. He's expecting you to
-
know that he says that he's going to put the oceans back in the storehouses.
-
This will create a blaw a broad plane of the earth. He's expecting
-
you to know these things. He's expecting you also to know that at that
-
point in time, there's only going to be one source of fresh water on
-
the planet, and that river is going to come out from the millennial Temple
-
that Christ is going to rule from. You're supposed to know this. I
-
mean, if you've not read the minor prophets by this point, if you
-
haven't read the major profits by this point, then there's so many data points
-
in your eschatology that are missing. Of course, this is going to confusion
-
because you don't know what's to come. You don't know how to process this
-
information. I mean, let me read this one more time Isaiah, chapter
-
two, verses two and three from the New King James version. It shall
-
come to pass that in the latter days that the mountain of the House of
-
the Lord shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be
-
lifted up above the hills, and all the nations shall flow to it.
-
Here he is talking about what we covered last time in the Book of Zachariah.
-
Lottie Doddie, everybody is going to go up and celebrate the feast of
-
Tabernacles every year for a thousand consecutive years. Let me read on, and
-
many people shall come and say, come, let us go up to the
-
mountain. Of the Lord to the house of the God of Jacob, that
-
he may teach us his ways, and that we may walk in his past.
-
For out of Zion shall go forth the law and the word of the
-
Lord from Jerusalem, Ladies and gentlemen. When you know that already, When
-
you know that already, let me read the first two verses of Psalm one
-
now, and now you're going to understand why he's saying it. Once you
-
realize that the prophet Jeremiah says that you're going to get this. You're going
-
to establish this planetary dynamic. The new geology has found how it's going to
-
be done right there in Jeremiah, chapter four, verse twenty three. Okay,
-
you're going to go tell who Boho, Yes you are, Yes you
-
are. God's going to terra form. Now when he does that, you
-
need to know he's also going to change the cosmology. He's going to change
-
the Earth's orientation in the heavens. You you need to know that. You
-
also need to know that the hours in the day are going to change,
-
the numbers of day and a year are going to change. When you have
-
that in context, listen to this one more time. Psalm one one verse
-
one and two, I will lift up my eyes to the heels from whence
-
comes my help. My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth.
-
Now, with that in context behind the verses from Isaiah, you can
-
understand exactly why he said what he said and in the ortar that he said
-
it. And believe me when I say, when you're reciting this on your
-
way up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles with the Lord Jesus Christ, you'll
-
know exactly why you're saying it because hindsight is twenty twenty. Hindsight is twenty
-
twenty, going to have an expanded experience of what these things mean and why
-
you're obviously going up to shoe Coat you have to. You have to go
-
up to the Feast of Tabernacles because it is literally the outcropping for the only
-
freshwater spring on the planet. So it is actually a blister. Let me
-
say that again, It's a geological blister on the surface of the planet.
-
All the salt water that's been put into the storehouses are filtered out. There
-
is no greater filtration system on the planet than dirt itself. The dirt is
-
going to act like a massive Ogola Aquifer. Most of you know what the
-
Ogola Aquifer. It's the largest aquifer here in the United States. Ladies and
-
gentlemen, imagine if you will, that is exactly what's going to happen when
-
you pump out water from the Ogola Aquifer. Nobody pumps out salt water.
-
You do understand that, right, you know. If you didn't know that,
-
if you didn't know that dirt is the perfect filtration system for sodium,
-
well at least you learned that tonight, right Jose yep. But you need
-
to realize that the Bible goes to great links to say that a river is
-
going to come out from underneath the temple or I guess you would say the
-
planet wide headquarters. However you'd like to look at it. That's the only
-
fresh water spring, and it is elevated because the rest of the planet has
-
been stretched out like a well, it's been stretched out like a blue or
-
perhaps a pregnant wo But this is the mechination that explains to you why when
-
we found these ancient mosquitoes trapped in the ember that had been fossilized, the
-
bubbles in that ember contained oxygen at massive greater concentrations than our atmosphere does.
-
Now. Now if I just shocked your system, I'm telling you the truth.
-
The days of Noah was not like the days were in now, They
-
were different days. Hose your thoughts about that, Yeah, Matthew, I
-
think that's it's really important to understand the switch that occurs in this psalm that
-
even though at first you're reading it and you kind of get this feeling like
-
the answer, like the prayer was answered from the previous psalm, the last
-
stanza here really tells us when God establishes his kingdom and how it's gonna how
-
it's going to be, Because when you read that second stanzaup, it's exactly
-
what we're told in Revelation chapter seven, exactly what we're told in Isaiah forty
-
nine, where God says that we will no longer hunger nor thirst, right,
-
the sun will not beat down on us. That's that's exactly what what
-
what you're just discussed, that's exactly what he's saying here in this stanza.
-
And and boy, that that last verse really hits me hard, Matthew.
-
It says that the Lord will guard your going out and you're coming in from
-
this time forth and forever, because that's exactly what he says in Isaiah chapter
-
two, because he's going to teach us his ways. He's going to teach
-
us to walk in his paths. And out of Zion shall go forth the
-
law and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. That's that that rod of
-
iron, that to sword that we're told about. And the only time this
-
can take place is when he sets up his son as his king, Matthew,
-
when he fulfills what he's promised his son man. And it can be
-
and it can be no other way than that, And of all makes sense,
-
right, Matthew, I mean, yes, it kind of all makes
-
sense. It really does make sense. And you know that's one of the
-
things that you and I have talked about many times. Way back when you
-
first participated in this ministry. It shook you that I said that that God
-
did not write the Bible to confuse you, amen, And I went to
-
great links to show you that didn't. I yes, which at that point
-
I had to put all my faith in that statement because I was confused you
-
were. I just had to have faith that God God would be faithful.
-
And that's exactly what I was telling you. Amen, That's exactly what I
-
was telling you, and you just kept asking questions, and I just kept
-
reading you Bible verses. Yep. Now, ladies and gentlemen, you all
-
need to know that that you probably expected that Jose and I had massive,
-
long phone conversations privately. I assure you that's not what happened. Yes,
-
Jose and I have spoken privately many times, but never in the way you
-
think he would propose questions. He would he would say, well, what
-
does this mean? What does that mean? And I'd say, will We'll
-
do that on the next show, And we'd read it, wouldn't we Jose.
-
That's exactly how we did it. Matthew, and I didn't explain anything
-
to you. I read it to you. And gentlemen, I don't know
-
why you think I would be able to put it to you better than the
-
Bible, God's Holy Word. It's just that you have failed to make it
-
a light into your feet and a lamp into your path. Did you catch
-
that? Let me reverse it for you. You failed to make the Bible,
-
God's Holy Word a lamp and to your feet and a light and to
-
your path. That's what you fail to do. The only thing I can
-
do is point out to you where he tells you about that information. I
-
mean, for example, we talked about this tonight. How is it that
-
there can be churches that have the Lord Jesus Christ name out on the sign
-
and yet they don't believe in the millennial reign of Christ? When well,
-
ladies and gentlemen, you can plainly read that there's some lineal reign of Christ
-
and that mechanism is facilitated by not just one, but two or three events.
-
Those two or three events are clearly defined as being one thousand years in
-
duration. I mean, you have to make up a science fiction fantasy to
-
go around a millennial reign of Christ. I mean that nullifies creation altogether,
-
doesn't that? Jose? I mean, if God can't have his planet run
-
his way, then what's the point, ladies and gentleman, Because that's never
-
happened yet. The only time this planet has ran the way God wanted it
-
was the days before the Fall in Genesis chapter three. So if you think
-
God created all the heavens and all the earth to never have it run the
-
way he runs it, well that's confusing to me all in itself. Of
-
course, God's going to have his creation run his way. Of course he
-
is. And the problem is is that very few people like it, do
-
they, Jose, Right, Matthew, They kick against that. They kick
-
against it. Boy, that's an understatement. Boy. They love their chronomers,
-
that their chronomers and their currencies, don't they. Yes, they really
-
do. They love their mechanations of control that they exert over people. I
-
love it. All right. Let's take a look at this second stands and
-
now you've already brought something up here that this is obviously talking about the hinds
-
feet. But let me read these two verses again and you'll be able to
-
hear it. Ladies and gentlemen, Verse three and four, he will not
-
allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.
-
Behold, he who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. Now my first
-
question to that, Jose, is how's that physically possible? I mean,
-
I thought it was. I thought this was supposed to happen with the root
-
of David, right right, supposed to be one of David's descendants. Now,
-
at the time of the building of the Second Temple, that was zerubbable,
-
correct, correct, So this obviously isn't zerubbable. It's obviously not.
-
We know God has established his king on Mount Zion. There is no taking
-
that back. I mean here Psalm chapter two, verse six. As for
-
me, I have set my king on Zion, my only hell. This
-
is talking about the Lord Jesus Christ. It must be yes, and he
-
does not slumber or sleep. Correct. Correct? So your thoughts about this,
-
Stanza, No, I think I think you're You're perfectly right there,
-
Matthew. What this is talking about? This? Like I said, it
-
sounds like the hinds feet, But once he starts getting into him physically keeping
-
you him, him physically being the one who's gonna is gonna watch over you.
-
That really that that sounds exactly like what I read in Revelation chapter seven.
-
Matthew says he who sits on the throne will spit his taper nacle over
-
them, and it says the lamb is in the center of that throne.
-
He will be their shepherd and he will guide them. So I don't know,
-
I don't know what other perfect description, Matthew of those set of verses.
-
Then then then how a shepherd takes care of his sheep. That's that's
-
kind of his job right, and we're told who God Shepherd is, who
-
he has appointed over us, and and who will be his king to perform
-
that function. So yeah, I think that matches exactly what what what we
-
read there and so them too, and exactly what we read in Revelation chapter
-
seven. You're right, it absolutely does. And and amen and amen man,
-
we still need to read the verses about the hinds feet. We really
-
do, you know, ladies and gentlemen, uh first and foremost. Second
-
Samuel chapter to verse thirty four. He makes my feet like heinz feet,
-
and sets me on my high places. The same thing is reciprocated in Psalms
-
eighteen, verse thirty three. Because it is the same exact verse. It's
-
the same thing. Many people don't realize that that stands of that song.
-
It's both in both chapters. It's the same thing. So you might want
-
to write that down and look at it later. And Habakuka three, verse
-
nineteen. The Lord God is my strength. He has made my feet like
-
Heinz feet, and makes me to walk on my high places for the choir
-
director on my stringed instruments. That's an interesting way to translate that last phrase.
-
But anyway, ladies and gentlemen, make this. Be sure that you
-
understand that how you are now, you're not going to be the same way
-
then. And you need to know that when he's talking about these particular verses,
-
you need to realize that this is the first set of changes that you
-
will go through. This set of changes occurs after Operation Eagles Wings during the
-
one thousand and sixty day Tribulation. Now, if I said that and I
-
confused you once again, it's because you don't have what is to come put
-
down in systematic eschatology. Because eschatology is systematic, and this is going to
-
happen. It is going to happen. And at this point where you're singing
-
Psalm one twenty one, as you go up to the feast of Patternackles every
-
year, ladies and gentlemen, you're going to do that in your resurrected body.
-
Now I just confused a lot of people, because well, that's impossible.
-
I mean, the rapture comes before the resurrection, right, those of
-
you who have who have been who have been taught, well, I need
-
to say it for what it is. You've been deceived. For one,
-
that word rapture is Latin for rape. Now that may have really upset you,
-
and I'm sorry, but I am telling you the truth. Now,
-
ladies and gentleman, you also need to know that that word comes from Shakespeare.
-
It's in for shakespeare place. That's where the word rapture comes from.
-
It comes from Shakespeare. So you need to be aware that what you call
-
the rapture is actually the event that the Bible calls the resurrection, and that
-
happens at the return of Christ. So you need to understand that during the
-
millennial reign of Christ, you will have your resurrected body. Now I want
-
you to let this sink in as I read these two verses again. Note,
-
you're going to have what you've been taught so far in your life,
-
a raptured body, I guess, but it's what the Greek calls. It
-
is your anastasis anatomy. But that's what it says. Imagine if you will,
-
you're in your resurrected body and you're reciting this, He will not allow
-
my foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold
-
keeps Israel Schell, neither slumber nor sleep. Ladies and gentlemen, What makes
-
you think that a resurrected body needs to sleep. What makes you think you
-
need rest? M h. How's that your thoughts on this? No,
-
Matthew, I think I think that's why when when I initially read it,
-
I think that's why it hit me about the hinds feet, it hit me
-
that it's what's gonna enable us what two well to to endure the time until
-
operations eagles wings, It's it's it's what's gonna allow us to actually follow our
-
shepherd, to follow in his footsteps, to follow where he guides us be
-
because at this point where we're at right now, Matthew, we just can't.
-
We can't physically do it. There's too many well, just the flesh,
-
just the way our flesh operates right now. That's why. That's why
-
we fall into temptation, That's why we fall into sin because of the way
-
our flesh is right now. That's why the whole reason we need to sleep
-
is so that we can recover and our body can can recuperate and be able
-
to function normally the next day. But of course, each day we function
-
less and less because because we're getting older, because we're aging, because we're
-
getting closer to that to that time that we die. So if he is
-
to, if what he's promised us about our resurrection body, if what he's
-
promised us about keeping us from death is true, then that has to be
-
what this saw. I'm the saying, Matthew, this has to be again
-
more more reminders of the promise us, promises that he's given us, because
-
Matthew, God himself can be here telling us his law. And you know,
-
Matthew, that once he walks away, our flesh is weak and we're
-
gonna stumble because we are not his son. We are not perfect, Matthew.
-
And as much as I wish that I would be able to say that,
-
you know, if I received the law directly from God, if I
-
had you know, his myriads of angels there to remind me of his law,
-
I mean, I'm human, Matthew. And so it's not gonna be
-
until we get our resurrection body. It's not going to be until we've been
-
affected by our Lord that that's even going to be possible. What what what
-
God tells us in Isaiah chapter two, and what God tells us here in
-
Psalm one twenty one for that to even be true, Matthew, that that's
-
the only that's the only physical way for that to be true, because we're
-
because we're human. Well, you know, I couldn't have put that better
-
myself, because we're human. Right, It's it's it's hard to say,
-
Matthew, but but that's just that's just what I'm getting from reading from reading
-
it, you know, that's just what that's just been my become my understanding
-
now well, you know, and that is to say, your understanding is
-
a whole lot different than it was when you were twenty years old, right
-
amen? Amen, I mean I would say that in the past thirteen years,
-
I would have to say this, Jose, I would say that you
-
didn't acquire understanding until the last thirteen years of your life. I'd agree.
-
Now, Jose, I remember the first conversation I had with you, and
-
to you, hindsight's twenty twenty, right. I mean, let me ask
-
you this, What would you do if I was to go back fourteen years
-
and get that Jose and bring him here and have him ask you, so,
-
so, what's going to happen during the tribulation? How are we going
-
to get there? Right? How would you explain that to him? Start
-
on chapter one, verse one suck read. I'd have to agree with you.
-
It would be quite an undertaking. And you can imagine, amen,
-
you can imagine me sitting there taking a deep breath like, oh boys,
-
right, because now you do have one. I mean, I really don't
-
have to read this chapter with you? Do I no, Matthew, although
-
I I thoroughly love it. I love reading with you. I love learning
-
with when I'm when i'm reading it with you. But yeah, I have
-
no excuse now, Matthew. That that's pretty much yet. You know you
-
have no excuse, Amen, Like how you put that, you don't have
-
any excuse? Now, Oh my goodness. That's that's that's pretty good.
-
All right, Jose Let's take a look at the next stanza. The Lord
-
is your keeper, The Lord is your shade, your right hand. The
-
sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. Your
-
thoughts about this stands a very curious, well, very impossible, right,
-
a very impossible thing to say in this paradigm. But what's your thoughts?
-
Well, just like I said before, Matthew, when I read that right
-
away, that took me to Revelation chapter seven. That's exactly that's exactly what
-
it says there at the end of the chapter about how it's going to be
-
during the millennial reign. Again, we've discussed how how this is not There's
-
no way that we could be in the millennial reign of Christ right now because
-
these things are not taking place. We have Christians that hunger, Christians that
-
thirst, you know, we have we have people that you and I both
-
know, Matthew, that are Bible believers in our faith and are still suffering.
-
But we're holding to those promises that God's given us. And look,
-
I think you could probably describe to us the scientific details and the exact machinations
-
of how this is going to take place, how God rearranges not only the
-
earth but also the heavens to enable this to take place actually physically. But
-
we know that God's promised this this, Matthew, not only in Book A
-
Revelation, but also in Isaiah chapter forty nine, like I discussed before,
-
and when you read both of those chapters, it clearly is talking about the
-
millennial rain. It's not talking about any time previous to that. Sure,
-
I mean most particular verse ten, they shall not hunger or thirst, neither
-
scorching win, nor sun shall strike them, for he who has pity on
-
them will lead them, and by springs of water will guide them. Amen.
-
Yep. And we certainly don't have time to get into all of Isaiah
-
chapter forty nine. There's no way to do that. But remember that all
-
of you should know this, that the Bible comes right out and says that
-
during this time that the Lord he will be your sunshine. He will be
-
your source of illumination. Shall we say he will be your source of light?
-
And there's just no taking that back. But I mean, Isaiah chapter
-
forty nine, verse ten is just a reiteration of Revelation chapter seven, verse
-
sixteen. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst no more. The sun
-
shall not like them, nor any scorching heat. You're going to be different.
-
You're not going to be the same that you are now. If you
-
think you're going to be raptured, that's fine and dandy when you're executing this
-
during the millennial reign of Christ. Don't you understand that during the millennial Reign
-
of Christ, everybody goes up to Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.
-
Let that sink in, ladies and gentlemen, you're going to do this in
-
a resurrected body. It's enough to blow your mind. I know it's enough
-
to blow your mind. Last Stanza, the Lord shall preserve you from all
-
evil. He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out,
-
and you're coming in from this time forth and even forever more. Now,
-
obviously to me, this is an answer to fest of Salonian's cha five,
-
verse twenty three. Most people just have no idea what I'm talking about.
-
It's there that God tells you that he does something to you to protect
-
your body, mind, and spirit to the perugi of Christ. Here this
-
has become a permanent feature. Hose your thoughts, Amen, Matthew. Yeah,
-
there's there's just again, this is just it's it's just repeating what we've
-
already said before. Matthew. The only way for this to take place is
-
when is when you know, God sets up the millennial reign of his son.
-
That's when he promised us all these things are going to take place because
-
we've read these We've read these verses in the past and we've prayed for them
-
to be true. Now, Matthew, we've prayed for them that we you
-
know that we be physically preserved, but that our that our spirit would be
-
preserved. You know, That's that's the Lord's player, right, Deliver us,
-
not temptation, right, keep us from evil. I mean, that's
-
that's what we pray every day when we say the Lord's prayer. And this
-
is where God fulfills that promise, Matthew, this is where he establishes that
-
himself, with his son and his son's kingdom, the rot of iron that
-
his son sets up, all these promises are going to come true. And
-
so when I hear Christians say that we are currently in the millennial reign of
-
Christ, or that this is some type of fulfillment of what God's promised not
-
only in swe but what He's promised in First Desaloni's to chapter five, I'm
-
I just can't understand why you would say that, because there's there's too much
-
suffering, too much evil, too much sin right for me to even halfway
-
believe that, Matthew. It's it's just I just can't I can't fathom it.
-
So amen to what God's saying here in this last Danza, because I
-
can't wait for that to happen. You're right about that, you know,
-
I love the Last verse. I have to bring this up. I mean,
-
you realize that this last verse is an answer to all the blessings in
-
Deuteronomy chapter twenty eight. Ladies and gentlemen, if you don't know, God
-
gives you a great big list of blessings you will incur and curses you will
-
incur if you don't do these things. So let me let me just read
-
verse one of Deuteronomy chapter twenty eight. Now that shall be if you diligently
-
obey the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments which I
-
can demand you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all
-
the nations of the yearth verse two. All these blessings will come upon you
-
and overtake you if you obey the Lord your God. Take note, let's
-
jump down here to verse six, because it literally is a reciprocation of how
-
Psalm one ends, Blessed you shall be when you come in, and blessed
-
shall you be when you go out. Deuteronomy chapter twenty eight can only be
-
fulfilled. Now that we've did our commentary, take a read of Deuteronomy chapter
-
twenty eight, and, knowing your heart, it can only be fulfilled in
-
a superior anatomy than your own blessings and curses of Deuteronomy chapter twenty eight.
-
Those blessings can only be answered in a resurrected body. Now I know most
-
of you I've traditionally called that a raptured body. You need to get away
-
from that. The Bible is very clear that you receive your anastasis anatomy.
-
The Greek says you'll be. You'll go through a change called a lagosmuthea that
-
happens after return of Christ, that happens at the resurrection. That's when it
-
happens. And you're going to go through these verses in that resurrected anatomy.
-
So many things that I couldn't cover tonight. Jose While, before we jump
-
off here, why don't you describe this well? I don't want to be
-
too wordy and get off on this great big diatribe. You need to know
-
that this chapter's magical, gentlemen, because it produces a chiasm. What is
-
a chiasm? A chiasm is not from the Hebrew, It's from the Greek,
-
the Greek letter kai, which is what you call an x. So
-
this chapter creates a seesaw. The verse in the middle is a pivot point,
-
and the verses that flank it, both before and after, create like
-
a seesaw hose. Why don't you describe this kiasm that is created in uh
-
Psalm one please? Yeah, it's kind of amazing, Matthew, the way
-
this is set up, and I'm trying to think the best way to describe
-
this to the listener. But the first couple verses right there say you know,
-
where is my help coming from? My help comes from the Lord,
-
and that mirrors the last two verses seven and eight, where it says the
-
Lord shall preserve thee from evil, he shall preserve thy soul. So you
-
have there seeking help, and then it's answered and where that help comes from
-
and how the Lord is going to do that. And then when you jump
-
down, God describes in verse two that he made the heaven and the earth,
-
and in verse six he describes that creation by talking about the sun and
-
the moon. And then in verse three we're told that thy foot will not
-
be moved. And then jump down to verse five and we're told that the
-
Lord is thy aid upon thy right hand. So you're seeing these mirror mirror
-
of these descriptions, Matthew, of what he's talking about and it culminates in
-
the in the very center of this psalm, he says, he that keeps
-
thee will not slumber. Behold he that keeps Israel sounding either slumber nor sleep,
-
and the verse five, the Lord is thy keeper. So this is
-
this is pretty amazing, Matthew, the way God set up this psalm right
-
there, right there in the middle, it's it's that pivot point where I
-
mean, the only way I can describe it is is before you're giving your
-
your hinds feet that that's the only way I can describe it. That you
-
know, before right before God, God comes down, does what he has
-
to do, and then he said up his son. This is just it's
-
just pretty amazing the way this psalm is set up, Matthew. I don't
-
I'm kind of out a loss for words for how God does this does this
-
it's it's enough to bother your mind. Now you're seeing God's fingerprint right,
-
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Just so you know, I could have designed
-
this study based off of this chiasm. You think you know everything there is
-
to know about this psalm. Now you think that you can get you a
-
pomption chain reference Bible and start going through the cross references and find everything that
-
Jose and I talked about. I assure you you don't have a fraction of
-
what God's Word has to offer. Now, now that Jose's looking at this,
-
his mind is probably calculating that there's higher things at play, Right,
-
Jose, that I didn't get a chance to talk about. Right. The
-
Bible, God's Holy Word has so much information. It has so much information
-
that you cannot contain it in your present anatomy. But when you receive your
-
resurrected anatomy, you will be able to see all the information contained in the
-
Bible God's Holy Word. He did not write it to confuse you. As
-
a matter of fact, he give you ten thousand more data points than you
-
require to know. Ladies and gentlemen, you only need a dictionary size out
-
of information to understand what is to come. He gives you the full set
-
of the Encyclopedia Britannica, both the pedias and the Macropedias. Jose, please
-
take us out of here in prayer. Dear heavenly Father, whom we love
-
and serve, we thank you once again for drawing us together to study your
-
word. Lord. I pray for the ecclesia that is currently suffering, that
-
is currently hungering, that is currently thirsty. Lord, Please remind them of
-
your promises. Please remind them of what you have given us during the millennial
-
reign of your son. Please remind us, remind them that we must endure
-
what is currently going on, that we must endure further persecution that is to
-
come. And please give us the strength to endure this and to enable us
-
to help others to endure this persecution. Lord, we understand that if we
-
are faithful in this, you will be faithful to us and fulfill what you
-
have promised us in your word, when your son returns, when you have
-
set up his kingdom, when you have made the nations his footstool. As
-
much as it is impossible for our mind to comprehend everything that you've promised us,
-
we ask that you give us faith, Lord, to endure what is
-
to come. And I ask all this in the name of your son,
-
our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen and Amen. Until
-
next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless God speed. Thank you for
