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

-
Nige. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program. Welcome to
-
Maranatha Ministries. Indeed we're your host Jose and Matthew. Tonight we're getting back
-
to the show Shanim series after many delays. This is the third time arm
-
that we this, so it's proven to be quite interesting and there's so much
-
information here that really Jose and I agreed that we're not even going to get
-
past the cross references here. That's just not going to happen. The first
-
cross reference is to John the second chapter, and just within that, within
-
chapter two of John, there's two remembrancers. So I don't see much hope
-
getting past this. I really don't. As a matter of fact, you
-
know, the spirit of the Lord my God is telling me there ain't no
-
way we can do this in sixty minutes, but we are going to do
-
it. And Jose, let's let's start out with prayer. Do you want
-
a prayer? Do you want me to Yeah, why don't you go ahead
-
and Matthew. Dear Heavenly Father, thank you so much for this time that
-
you've given Jose and I to spend with your children. It is truly a
-
pleasure and an honor. Thank you so much that you have given us your
-
word that it might be a lamp into our feet and light into our path.
-
Thank you so much, Lord, and Lord, thank you so much
-
for your sacrifice, for choosing to sacrifice yourself for our sins and ultimately our
-
salvation. It is Jose and I's request Lord, that you might bless the
-
participant of this program, whether here in the live or in the archive,
-
whether the video or the audio, Please bless them and get them what they
-
need. Lord, according to your promises. Please use Jose and I to
-
relay your message according to your promises. In Christ name, I pray Amen.
-
Amen. All right, Jose, I see that you're under some interesting
-
circumstances here. You don't have internet again today, I take it correct?
-
Yeah, all right, Well, sitting here at home, got my computers
-
up, but no internet. Your years up and no internet. Well,
-
you know that's one good thing about this format. You can call in,
-
you can get in any way you can, you can get in and it
-
still gets re amen, and for that, we are really, really really
-
thankful, really thankful for that. And if anybody has any ideas about alternative
-
backups, let me know. I don't know. Maybe we should try a
-
zoom sometime to see how that works. But let's get to the show shining
-
series. This is one of the most important series that you can do in
-
the in the Bible, because ladies, gentlemen, the whole point of you
-
being a Christian is your ultimate marriage to Christ. And there is no debating
-
that everything else in this existence is secondary. This is what we're hoping for.
-
And this chapter is riddled with cross references because there is no denying that
-
this is an ode to those of the First Resurrection. This entire chapter here
-
is dedicated to them because they are something else. I'm gonna have to say
-
something before we start. You got to get this through your head. They
-
are not like you and I. The Bible makes it perfectly clear that they
-
get resurrected at the return of Christ, and they're the only ones that get
-
resurrected, ladies and gentlemen, because KDS had fled from them. It amazes
-
me, how the classroom setting. I have spoken about this many times.
-
When I bring this out, it creates shock and all. And I've even
-
had pastors. That's right. My pastor was setting in my classroom and shock
-
them into realizing, what are you saying that? No, that's not right.
-
Really, the Book of Revelation is quite plain that one of the gross
-
punishments is death flees from you. How many times have we read that?
-
Jose, Yeah, yep. Then they repeatedly, repeatedly, these have been
-
sealed by God. So ladies, gentlemen, you need to understand that these
-
of the first Resurrection, they don't get to go to Hades. They and
-
yet when Christ gets back, they are neither you need to wake up.
-
They are neither asleep, nor do they nor are they those that are alive
-
and remain. Now, if I just am the first one that notified that
-
of you, you obviously haven't read the Book of Revelation, or if you
-
have, you didn't believe it. You was not reading it like it was
-
resource material. Let me explain. If you're reading the Bible, God's Holy
-
Word differently than you read the Webster's Dictionary, you're clueless because God comes right
-
out and tells you everything you need to know. And if you're not reading
-
it like it's an encyclopedia or Britannica, if you're reading it like it's a
-
work of fiction or it's a magazine, you can understand it because you have
-
to believe it first, before he explains it to you, before you have
-
any hope of knowing what is to come, you have to believe it first.
-
And if you are not subconsciously, if you've not trained your mind,
-
when you open that Bible, it's like open the Webster's Dictionary. You're lost
-
and you've confused yourself. The Bible is quite clear that after the event that
-
they get sealed, God orders death to flee from latidtie every body, and
-
the only ones from that point forward that gets slaughtered are those of the First
-
Resurrection. So if I'm like I said, if I'm the one that just
-
notified you of this, and if you didn't think that God was going to
-
dedicate one of the show shining series elicitly to them, you are grossly shortsighted.
-
You're short sighted, and that's why you're not reading his word like it's
-
a resource material. You should literally be reading it like a blueprint. You
-
should be reading it like a operator's manual, a dictionary and encyclopedia. That's
-
how you read the Bible. And when you do that, when you do
-
that, God will show you what is to come, because that's what he
-
promised to do. Aman Jose, Amen, Matthew. That's what it's there
-
for. That's what it's there for. That's why he wrote it. He
-
did not write it to confuse you. Is one of the very first things
-
I taught Jose twelve years ago. He did not write it to confuse you.
-
No, No, we didn't. No, we didn't. He wrote
-
everything to give you intimate details into it. So now that we know that,
-
now that we realize that this song we're getting ready to read is an
-
ode to those of the First Resurrection, you're able to put this into proper
-
context because he's going to say things. He's going to say things that can
-
only pertain to this group who are co rulers with Christ. I'm sorry,
-
are you upset? Did I offend you? It amazes me how when I've
-
stated this in a classroom, I've even had district superintendence take offense to it.
-
What'd you say? Well, why don't you go and read Revelation chapter
-
twenty, and for once in your life, believe it because there it states
-
it crystal clear those of the First Resurrection rule and reign with Christ. So
-
with all that being stated, ladies and gentlemen, you have to retrain your
-
mind to believe God's word. As if you don't believe it, if you're
-
not reading it like a reference material, you're not reading it correctly. God's
-
not going to show you anything. Anything that HOSEI and I can share with
-
you tonight is going to fall on deaf ears. You won't understand it.
-
You just won't understand it because you haven't accepted it, Ladies and gentlemen.
-
In order for the word of the Lord's your God to bear fruit, well
-
you have to accept that seed into your soil. If you don't accept the
-
seed in your heart, well, you're wasting your own time. It's just
-
going to keep on confusing you. You're going to stay in this endless cycle
-
of confusion you yourself have put yourself in. Now, I'm aware that this
-
has been done to most of you, buy your teachers and preachers. But
-
now that you're aware of it, you need to undo it. And and
-
and I can't do it, Hose can't do it. You have to do
-
You have to convince yourself that this is literally the Manual of creation, because
-
that's what it is. That's why he wrote it. So, Jose,
-
you're before we read it, what what's your thoughts on it? Once you
-
had read it and digested it well? Obviously with the first reading, Matthew,
-
there's lots of references and pointers here to the to the crucivici of Christ.
-
Yes, lots of direct direct quotes. The feeling that you get here,
-
a lot of the words that you say here is draw you in that
-
direction. But when we understand that Jesus himself is total necros, born of
-
the dead, it makes other verses in here make more sense. That's right,
-
that this is talking about more than just Christ's resurrection. This is talking
-
about others and and we'll we'll touch on those words when we get to them.
-
But yeah, definitely, Matthew, And especially when I started looking at
-
the cross references, it really did make it sink home. You know,
-
one that that this was talking about Jesus Christ and what he experienced, what
-
he went through. But also this is talking about, like you said,
-
those that are of the First Resurrection, those that are going to rule and
-
reign with him, And it highlights, it brings to life other verses in
-
revelation that that maybe maybe have caused confusion in the past. But but when
-
you put these together here in Psalm sixty nine, God really makes a lot
-
of things clear. Matthew. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
-
he does. And when you realize that that, when you realize that this
-
is exactly what's going to happen. I mean, ladies and gentlemen, he
-
is pro toda koash necross because he is going to be the head of those
-
of the First Resurrection. They are going to, let me say that again,
-
they rule and they rain, they rule and they reign with Jesus for
-
a thousand years. When you realize the wonderful simplistic complexity of that, the
-
simplistic complexity of God's plan, it is enough to blow you away. Because
-
those of the First Resurrection will be born from the two, they will be
-
born from the dead. Then it is a wonderful when you look at this
-
year and you realize what could he possibly be talking about? Because if you
-
just figured out this right now, ladies and gentlemen, have you just now
-
figured this out that during the tribulation, God orders death to flee from you,
-
and you never put two and two to give them a wait a minute,
-
God hollistedly says that these one hundred and forty four thousand is going to
-
be beheaded by the beast. Well where do they go? Did you never
-
think that God was telling you all these data points for a reason. To
-
me, it's wonderful to me. It's exciting to me. It strengthens my
-
resolve. It strengthens my resolve. You can not. I better pepper my
-
words. I love the word of the Lord, my God. Anyone who's
-
ever met me face to face knows that they know that I love God's word.
-
I'm excited about it. I understand it. I can literally talk about
-
it at length's end and never get tired of it. So we better get
-
started, and the Lord's going to get mad at me. Yes, we
-
didn't even read it, So you want to read it or you will,
-
sure, Matthew, I can read it. I'll go through it all and
-
then we can start. We can start going through our cross references. So
-
I'm reading it out of the Thompsons, So I'm reading the Greek right now
-
psal, I'm sixty nine for the conclusion, respecting them who are to be
-
changed by David. Save me God, for waters have broken in on my
-
soul. I am sunk down into deep mire, and there is no support
-
beneath. I am come into the depth of the sea, and the tempest
-
has overwhelmed me. I am weary with crying. My throat is horse and
-
my eyes fail. While I wait for my God. They who hate me
-
without cause are more than the hairs of my head Mine. Enemies who persecute
-
me wrongfully are become strong. I have made compensation on the spot for what
-
I did not take by violence. Thou, o, God, knowest my
-
folly and my trespasses are not hid from thee. Let not them who wait
-
for THEE Lord of Hosts be put to shame on my account. Let not
-
them be put to confusion for my sake, who are seeking the God of
-
Israel. Because for Thy sake I have born reproached. Confusion has covered my
-
face. To my brethren, I am become an alien and a stranger to
-
the children of my mother, for my zeal for Thy house has consumed me,
-
and on me have fallen the reproaches of them who reproached d When I
-
bowed down my soul with fasting, it furnished occasion for reproaching me. When
-
I clothed myself with sackcloth, I became a proverb. They who sat in
-
the gate spoke against me, and they who drank wine made me their song.
-
But to THEE Lord, I, in my prayer applied it was a
-
time of favor God, in the multitude of thy mercy, in the truth
-
of thy salvation. Hearken to me, Save me from mayer, that I
-
may not sink down. Let me be delivered from them who hate me,
-
and out of the depth of waters. Let not a flood of water overwhelm
-
me, nor a whirlpool swallow me up, nor a pit shut its mouth
-
upon me. Hear me, Lord, for thy loving kindness is good according
-
to Thine abundant mercy. Look down upon me. Turn not away thy face
-
from thy servant. Because I am in distress. Hear me. Speedily draw
-
near to my soul and redeem it. Deliver me because of mine enemies.
-
For thou knowest my reproach and my shame and my confusion. All mine adversaries
-
are before THEE. My soul expected reproach and misery. I waited for a
-
gondolar, but there was none. For a comforter, but none could I
-
find. They indeed have given me gall for my food and for my thirst,
-
and have made me drink vinegar. Let their table before them become a
-
snare and recompense and a stumbling block. Let their eyes be darkened that they
-
may not see, and bow down their neck. Continually pour out thine indication
-
indignation upon them, and let thy wrathfle eye or take hold of them.
-
Let their fold be desolate, and in their dwellings no inhabitant. Because him
-
whom thou smotest, they persecuted and have added to the pains of my wounds.
-
Add thou iniquity to their iniquity, and let them not come into thy
-
righteousness. Let them be blotted out of the book of the Living, and
-
not be enrolled with the righteous. I am afflicted, I am full of
-
pains. But the salvation of Thy count and it has upheld me. I
-
will praise the name of my God with an ode. I will magnify him
-
with thanksgiving. This indeed will be more pleasing to God than a young bull
-
with horns and hoofs. Let the afflicted behold and rejoice. Seek God diligently,
-
and you shall live. For the Lord has hearkened to the needy and
-
has not despised his prisoners. Let the heavens and the earth praise him,
-
the sea and all that move therein, For God will save Zion, and
-
all the cities of Judea shall be rebuilded, and the seed of his servants
-
shall dwell there. They shall inherit it and possess it, and they who
-
love His name shall dwell therein. Is there ever a heavier chapter? It's
-
pretty heavy, Matthew. Is it's serious business? Yes? And what doesn't
-
make any sense here? When did David ever do this? Yeah, don't
-
lie, ladies, gentlemen, David never went through this. Don't even try
-
it again. We all know from look. This is in multiple places referenced
-
in the New Testament as alluding to Jesus crucifixion. Amen, Jose, Amen,
-
Matthew. I mean there is no coming around it. That, there's
-
just no around it. And we have to realize what this context is.
-
We have to realize that these one hundred and forty four thousand are cast into
-
the outer darkness and they get behead. And when this happens, put this
-
into context of Revelation chapter six, verse eight. Me and Jose have covered
-
this many times. I'll read it for you one more time again New American
-
Standard Bible. I looked and behold an ash and horseman who said on it
-
had the name death, and Hades was falling with him. And the authority
-
was given hold of them, of the fourth of the earth, to kill
-
with the sword, and of famine with the pestlets, and by the wild
-
beast of the earth. You take that and run it up to Revelation chapter
-
nine, verse six. So one is before the Great Day of the Lord.
-
This is after the Great day of the Lord. Once the Great Day
-
of the Lord takes place, guess what's happened. Write this down Revelation chapter
-
nine, verse six. And in those days men will seek death and we'll
-
not find it. They will long to die, and death flees from them.
-
This is the place where God has sent them to sacrifice them. Oh,
-
yes, he has. So. Now, once you realize what you're
-
dealing with here, you realize the overt references here to their well, their
-
throat is horse right, Jose, Yes, there's several times in here you
-
have allusions to this, and it's it's amazing to me that, look,
-
this is this is absolutely perfect. This is a perfect way to deliver that
-
message. Anyway, Jose your thoughts on it, and then we'll jump over
-
to this first cross reference. So just just right away, Matthew. In
-
verse five, we know we're talking about more and just our Lord and savior,
-
Matthew, because here in the Greek it says that God knows my folly
-
and my trespasses are not hid from thee yes, and then the Hebrew it
-
says, thou knowest my foolishness and my sins are not hid from thee Matthew,
-
as far as I know, the lamb was without blemish. That's the
-
versus here, are talking about more than just him. Yeah, so so
-
you wanted to jump on this before we even reached it, just to set
-
it up, Matthew. I mean, that's this is Yes, these are
-
all referencing Jesus and he's fulfilling prophecies to set things in order. But just
-
disperse here is letting us know that that this is talking about more than just
-
Jesus Christ. That's right. And I have stated this minute many times,
-
Jose, you have repeatedly heard me say this, that these that that this
-
group. I've stated it several ways, but my most popular way of stating
-
it is that their knuckleheads. Yeah, this made it perfectly clear they were
-
prancing around promoting Christianity. Ah, but this verse right here lets you know,
-
God cut them with their pants down. So you all should realize the
-
dynamic going on here. So whether you like it or not, even though
-
this is multiple times reference to Christ's crucifixion verse five, isn't Oh no,
-
it's not. And take no. The lord that they are that this group
-
is waiting for is Christ the King. And it stated that in more ways
-
than one. So yeah, this first chapter, this first cross reference here
-
directly goes to John chapter two, verse seventeen, quoting, of course,
-
from Psalms sixty nine to nine, verse seventeen from the Thompson then did his
-
disciples remember that it was written my zeal for thy house half consumed me.
-
This is a pretty interesting illusion here, but take note we need to.
-
I mean, this entire chapter is a complete and total set up. This
-
chapter begins with now on the third day, the third day, from what
-
the third day from jesus baptism. It's it instigates his first miracle. Now
-
from there we go. From that first miracle we go to here, which
-
is where Jesus purges the temple of buyers and sellers. Extremely interesting that this
-
is basically how he starts his public ministry right here. Remember the wedding was
-
private. This is when he comes unglued and he lets everybody know who he
-
is. So I'll start here from verse fourteen. And founding the temple,
-
then who sowed cattle, sheep and doves, and the changers of money seated,
-
And having made a whip of boot rushes, he drove them out of
-
the temple, with the sheep and the cattle, and poured out the money
-
of the changers, and overturned their tables, and said, to those who
-
so doves take these things, hints, may not the house of my father
-
a house of merchandise? Then did his disciples remember that it was written my
-
zeal for thy house hath consumed me? Whoever upon the Jews addressed him and
-
said, what sign didst Thou show us to justify thy doing these things?
-
Uh? Oh, Jesus replies, by I'm going to resurrect myself verse nineteen,
-
and reply to which Jesus said to them, destroy this temple, and
-
in three days I will rise it up. And thereupon the Jews stated,
-
this temple was forty six year in building, and will that raise it up
-
in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body. Therefore,
-
when he was risen from the dead, his disciples once again, this
-
is the second remembrancers. Triggered by this, His disciples remembered that he had
-
spoken this to them, and they believed the scriptures and the word which Jesus
-
had spoken. Your thoughts, was it? Okay? So I get two
-
things out at this, Matthew. The first is what were those sheep and
-
cattle and doves used for in the temple? Right? That's what they were
-
selling. That's what they were using for the sacrifices. That's right. Yes.
-
And obviously with Jesus, obviously they were doing things crooked. They were
-
not justly selling these things to people looking to sacrifice to the Lord for for
-
the feast, for the feast day. Right. So he's going in there
-
and he's telling him that this is no longer these sacrifices are no longer accepting
-
acceptable to the Lord. The sacrifice that's going to be acceptable to the Lord
-
is his sacrifice, his dying, his resurrection, and Psalms fifty nine tells
-
us Matthew right says, this indeed will be more pleasing to God than a
-
young bull with horns and hooks. Yes, so right away he's setting that
-
that table that the old ways are are no longer, that God's establishing,
-
establishing right that his son, that perfect Lamb, is going to be the
-
only sacrifice we need. And so that that's what I'm getting out of that
-
verse, those verses there, Matthew. The other thing I'm picking up on
-
is when the Jews asked him with what sign do you do? You do
-
you show us to justify doing these things? They had permission to be in
-
that in that temple, Matthew, they had permission to sell unjustly, to
-
cheat the people out of their their sacrifices that they were trying to establish for
-
the Lord. So those are the two things that stuck out big to me
-
in this, Matthew. Yeah, I absolutely agree on every point. It's
-
it's kind of a log. I mean, it's it's literally a log poking
-
you in the eye. Mm hmm. I mean no doubt about it.
-
And you know this right here, ladies and gentlemen, if you can't put
-
Psalm sixty nine, couple it with John two in this incident and not realize
-
that what has God so mad is found in Ezekiel chapter thirty four. Yeah,
-
it is. I strongly suggest everybody read that at their leisure, because,
-
well, first off, it was a very strange way that Jose mentioned
-
that. Why would he mention the hoofs of the sacrifice? What's your thoughts
-
on that, Jose? Why do I he said it in such a such
-
a way. It had to get your attention ed, did Matthew, I
-
have not looked into it. Yeah, I'll just save it that I haven't
-
looked at to it. So I'm not gonna I'm not going to expound on
-
on on what that could be. But horns, I mean horns to me,
-
Matthew, it's always got that connotation. Well, the head, right,
-
what what is the head mean? The head means that's what leads the
-
way, right, That's that's the whether it be a king, some type
-
of leader, some type of prince, that's the connotation with horns. And
-
so I guess somewhere that whether it's an ox or or or a cattle matthew
-
that that has those horns, they have to have somewhere to to tread upon.
-
They have to have a footstool. So those are just my my initial
-
thoughts. Yeah, but I have I have not dug into that that word
-
yet, but it's a very interesting phrasing. Well, let's do this appropriately.
-
What would you call Christ in this situation? Would you call him the
-
horns or the hoofs? I would call him the horns? Amen? Yeah,
-
of course call him the horns? And what is he? Who is
-
he ruling and reigning with? Who are his promises standing on? Those of
-
the First Resurrection? Amen? Those of the first Resurrection? Because the priest,
-
ladies and gentlemen would lay hold of the horns. Just so you know,
-
hoofs and horns are really the same thing, right. A lot of
-
people don't know that if they haven't been around cattle. But if you get
-
around livestock, those hoofs are exactly the same in material as the horns.
-
They're extremely tough, and it amazes me how people don't realize that. You
-
know, whenever someone first realizes that they actually put horseshoes on horses. Well,
-
that's mean they take those nails and drive them into their their hoofs.
-
And I just scratched my head, like, yeah, I guess that is
-
mean, isn't Because there's nothing you can There's nothing you can say to him.
-
They have no remote clue what they're talking about. Ladies and gentlemen.
-
He's expecting you to see exactly that illusions. That's why he said horns and
-
hoofs. That's why I said it. So if you really want the background
-
information as to why he just waded through those priests and money changers, read
-
Ezekiel thirty four. Then you'll get the backdrop of the bad shepherds. You'll
-
get the backdrop of what's going on. And he is absolutely sick that his
-
flock has been scattered over the surface of the whole earth and they Let's not
-
get emotional, Matthew. Let's go ahead and read Ezekiel chapter thirty four,
-
verses five and six. I'm gonna read the whole thing. This is what
-
happened because of bad shepherds. They were scattered for lack of a shepherd,
-
and they became food for every beast of the field, and they were scattered.
-
My flock wandered throughout all the mountains, on every high My flock was
-
scattered over all the surface of the earth, and there was no one to
-
search or seek for them. Ladies and gentlemen, he's letting you know.
-
I have stated this before. The Bible repeatedly states this. You don't want
-
to be a shepherd on the day of he who sitteth upon the throne.
-
Because I'm sorry, he was just talking about you. Oh yes, he
-
was. So you all might want to read all of Ezekiel thirty four,
-
and you need to consider something. Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you're not
-
sending these bad shepherds that are not feeding you tith. I hope you're not.
-
But you need to understand he's saying these things, and this is why.
-
Well I'm going to say this as politely as I can. It cost
-
them their head. It cost them their head. Jose No, I think
-
that's that's appropriately said there. Matthew. I think we're getting a good idea
-
of why of those follies and those trespasses that these individuals incur, and that
-
God's seeing everything that they're doing. Amen, all right, let's do this
-
next one. The next one is John fifteen, verse twenty five. It
-
is directly coming from sixty nine to four. So when you realize that,
-
why don't you go ahead and read sixty nine verse four again? Please all
-
right, jump over there. They who hate me without cause are more than
-
the hairs of my head. My enemies who persecute me wrongfully are become strong.
-
I have made compensation on the spot for what I did not take by
-
violence. When you realize that this is incorporated into christ warning and most particularly
-
about the end times, it's going to rattle your cage because this institute's the
-
spirit of truth. This institutes the spirit of truth. Now, Hose and
-
I do not have the time required. Wow, we really don't have the
-
time required. We don't have the time required to go over Isaiah chapter eleven
-
with you. There it states six of the sevenfold spirit of God. Here
-
you're told what the seventh is. Here, you're told it's the spirit of
-
truth. But we don't have time to go to Isaiah chapter eleven. Or
-
perhaps I should. Yeah, I could just read that verse. Maybe let's
-
do that. I need to do it. It's not going to take me
-
very long, Jose. So it should be lickety split if I can just
-
find Isaiah here, Isaiah eleven. Okay, this is speaking of Christ.
-
So by extrapolation, this is also speaking of those of the First Resurrection who
-
will do what Hey, admit it, ladies and gentlemen, it's going to
-
happen. They're going to rule and they're going to reign with Christ. So
-
they're not going to marry Christ. Did I shock you together? There's actually
-
Christians that's not gonna be married to Christ. So then a shoot will spring
-
from the stem of Jesse. Do you will not understand what this is?
-
This is literally saying in this very first verse, this is when it happens
-
when those of the First Resurrection are resurrected. This is when this happens.
-
I'm sorry if you didn't know that until now. Then the shoot will spring
-
from the stem of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will bear fruit.
-
The spirit of the Lord will rest on him, the spirit of wisdom
-
and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge,
-
and the fear of the Lord. And he will delight in the fear of
-
the Lord. And he will not judge by what his eyes see, nor
-
make a decision by what his ears here. And you can appreciate this that
-
once you've had your head cut off, you'll probably weigh everything that you see
-
and hear very carefully because you went for an extended period of time without those
-
senses. So take note. This here lists six and what we're getting ready
-
to read from it lists the seventh one the spirit of truth, which is,
-
yeah, I better pepper my words that we just don't have time.
-
How much time do I? Wow? I have fifteen minutes left. This
-
is the warning. Okay, this is the warning John Chapter fifteen, starting
-
in verse eighteen. If the world hates you, you know that it is
-
hated and hated me, hated you. If you were of the world,
-
the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world,
-
but I chose you out of the world world. Because of this,
-
the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, a
-
slave is not greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will
-
also persecute you. If they keep my word, they will keep yours also.
-
But all these things they will do to you for my name's sake,
-
because they do not know the one who sent me. But if I had
-
not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin. But now
-
they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates me hates my father.
-
Also. If I had not done among them the works which no one
-
else did, they would not have sin. But now they have both seen
-
and hated me and my father as well. But they have done this to
-
fulfill the word that is written in their law. Uh oh, this isn't
-
any Tom Dick or Harry. This is the Lord Jesus Christ, stating that
-
Psalm sixty nine is the law I finished. They hated me without cause.
-
Verse twenty six. When the helper comes, whom I will send to you
-
from the Father, that is the spirit of truth proceeds from the Father.
-
He will testify about me, and you will testify also, because you have
-
been with me from the beginning. This is prophetically telling you, beyond any
-
shadow of a doubt, this is bad clergy. We're talking about, Jose.
-
It's talking about who you would call a priest, or, you'd call
-
a preacher, or you'd call a pastor. Yeah, that's where this group
-
is coming from. Right. Well, I'm keying in on verse nineteen there
-
of John fifteen that if you were up this world, the world would love
-
its own. Because in that same chapter we go up to verse ten.
-
Right, he says, if you keep my commandments, you will abide in
-
my love, right, just as I have kept my father's commandments and abide
-
in his love. And there's there's repeatedly he tells you, this is my
-
commandment love one another. Okay, he repeats himself in this chapter. So
-
that's the whole reason why they why they hate him? Right, what does
-
versus war for? Say? Again? They hate me without cause? Okay,
-
that's where this hate comes from. They don't want to follow the commandments
-
of his father, and they definitely aren't going to follow that commandment to love
-
one another. So it's not just you know, oh, they don't like
-
how he looks, and not just because they don't like the miracles he's performing.
-
No, they hate the commandments, and so that's why they hate him.
-
All right, we better, we better pick up the pace, all
-
right, your further comments, do you have any other comments you want to
-
say before I get the next cross reference? Well that your next comment's going
-
to take us. My next comments are going to take us right to the
-
next verse. So let's go ahead. And get to that verse, and
-
then I'll talk about it. Okay, So the next cross reference is taken
-
straight to the cross. John chapter nineteen, verse twenty eight. You have
-
to understand, ladies and gentlemen, Jesus makes them fulfill this prophecy. Now,
-
remember I just dread to you. I was not lying, Jesus said
-
Psalm sixty nine was the law. Whoever tells you differently is a liar.
-
Okay, it's a liar. Jesus is setting them up illicitly to fulfill Psalm
-
sixty nine. After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been
-
accomplished to fulfill the scripture, he said, I am thirsty. A jar
-
full of sour wine was standing there. So they put a sponge full of
-
the sour wine upon a branch of issup and brought it up to his mouth.
-
Therefore, when Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, it
-
is finished, and he bowed his head and gave up the spirit. Jesus
-
did this illicitly for the purpose of fulfilling Psalm sixty nine. Yes he did
-
this is Psalm sixty nine, verse twenty one. Yes, IoT IoTs ose,
-
So Matthew, this is in verse twenty one of Psalm sixty nine,
-
And the verse that I wanted to talk about previously was verse twenty because it
-
says, here my sole expected reproach and misery. I waited for a condoler,
-
but there was none. For a comforter, but none I could find.
-
And so they were waiting for that spirit of truth, Matthew. They
-
were waiting for that holy spirit. But we know that when those that are
-
going to lose their head, when they're going through what they're going they're on
-
their own, Matthew. Yeah, they had they've been sealed by God,
-
but they've they've got to go through that on their own. And so it's
-
appropriate that verse twenty one follows that verse to give us that feeling. Really
-
the whole reason, I mean, why Jesus went through the Cristi fixion,
-
Matthew, and White's describes so in great detail in the Gospels was to prepare
-
to prepare those that are going to lose their heads, Matthew, to prepare
-
their spirit for what they're going to go through. And I think it's it's
-
amazing how God put this here in Psalm sixty nine so that they can reference
-
it, and they can remember it when they have to go through what they
-
have to go through. Oh was they going to remember it? All?
-
Right? Yes? And you realize, ladies, John, they acquire all
-
this knowledge on the Great Day of Hughes that iss u pump the throne.
-
I mean, does none of you understand what Bible says. Just imagine you're
-
be bopping through your life. You got it going on. You don't even
-
have to pay rent, you don't have to pay the electric bill. The
-
church does all that. You have all your expenses paid. You're just literally
-
living high on the hog via a salary from a five oh one c three
-
tax exempt organization. I mean, you've got it going on. If you
-
want to go to Cancun or Wykiki Beach, the church pays for it.
-
You're literally hooked up. And in this fantasy you're living, you've convinced yourself
-
and your congregation. Another's a pre tribulational rapture. And then the six Seal
-
event happens and God snatches you up by the hair of the head and lo
-
and behold, you've had a seal put there. And it's at the same
-
time that remember what the sixth Seal says, Lottie, Dottie, everybody on
-
the planet. They all find out in one supreme moment, there's no such
-
thing as an atheist. They know exactly what their doom is. They know
-
exactly. They don't know what's going to happen between that time and when Jesus
-
gets back and exterminates them. But this is the same time these are sealed
-
and they are abandoned in the outer darkness to be sacrificed, and they know
-
it. Do you realize they know God has just numbered them to fulfill the
-
number of those martyrs in the Fifth Seal event. I'm not lying to you.
-
Read it and believe it, because this is why you know this,
-
because in Revelation chapter twenty, those who rule and reign with Christ, God
-
don't want anybody to be lied to. He won't let these bad shepherds lie
-
to you. He tells you up front that those are the first Resurrection,
-
did not take the mark the beast, Amen, jose Amen, Matthew.
-
So imagine the weight they are going to bear because guess who else knows this?
-
Obviously everybody. So when you take a read again of Psalm chapter sixty
-
nine and read where you know everybody's against them, and everybody's hating on them.
-
Oh, you can just imagine they're being hunted down to be beheaded,
-
and everybody knows it. Both the predator and the prey knows what's going on.
-
Let me say that one more time. Both the predator and the prey
-
know what's going on. So no one will ever have a baddest day as
-
those of the First Resurrection. They're going to have a seriously bad day.
-
Jose your thoughts well, Matthew, I'm just looking back at verse thirty and
-
it says here that Jesus bowed his head, and I can't help but think
-
about I mean, they're going to have to lose their head. They're going
-
to bow their head, and they're going to lose their head. I mean,
-
that's that's you know. I'm looking at the Greek here, trying to
-
see what it's saying in the Greek, but I mean, just just those
-
words in the plain English text, that's that's the image that I get.
-
Matthew. Yes, that's yeah, that's that's the inescapable, the inescapable,
-
simple fact that now you know, you know, why does all this happen?
-
Ladies and gentlemen, I mean, people blow me away once they figure
-
out that he's telling you the truth. Eventually you're gonna ask yourself, well,
-
why do they have to be beheaded? Why do they have to be
-
beheaded? Well, if you don't understand that, quite literally, these are
-
the ones that must. You know, all of us have this great,
-
big choice. We can either pick up our cross and follow him or not.
-
Right. Ose, Right, they don't have a choice. Hose,
-
they don't have a choice. So if all of you was wondering why they
-
have to be beheaded Verse thirty, when Jesus had received the vinegar, he
-
said it is finished, and bowing his head, he expired, that's why.
-
That's why. That's exactly why. Wow, we didn't get very far,
-
did we. It is time you're closing comments. Jose. What's what's
-
your thoughts? Because you know, I shared a whole lot of things that
-
are well, they're they're overwhelming because I just rattled these verses off the top
-
of my head. I know what God says, I know what is to
-
come. So and I'm sorry about that. Ladies, gentlemen, that that
-
that you know tonight people, that's probably been a part of this ministry for
-
twelve years are saying, well, I never heard Matthew say that before,
-
and they might even be irritated at me that I didn't put these things together
-
for him before today. But everything is beautiful at this time, amen,
-
Jose, Amen Matthew. So I'm sorry if there's certain things that I just
-
pieced together for you after twelve years. You did know all these things,
-
Jose? Did you not? Did I not teach you all these things you
-
know? Years ago? Yes? Yes, we've gone over all this stuff
-
repeatedly, Matthew, repeatedly, repeatedly. It's just now it makes a little
-
bit more sense, don't it, Jose? Oh yeah, And that is
-
the final thing, Jose. Did the Bible make sense to you before you
-
started participating in this ministry? It made some sense, and there was obviously
-
things which I needed more understanding. But now it makes a lot of sense.
-
So you tell me this, Jose. Yes, do you know what
-
is to come? Hey? Yes, I do. Matthew. How many
-
things have you learned while being a part of this ministry just in the past
-
three weeks? Have you learned new stuff? Did you get it more old?
-
Oh? Yeah, yeah, I learn every time every time we open
-
the Bible, Matthew, I'm learning new stuff? Well, how could It
-
doesn't matter if I study. It doesn't matter if I study a chapter for
-
three weeks. Matthew, how is that possible? When you know what is
-
to come? How could you possibly get more information? Everything is beautiful and
-
it's time you have spoken wisely today, Jose, Amen, Amen and amen.
-
Everything is beautiful in its time, and it's time for you, ladies
-
and gentlemen, to get sick of being entertained. You need to get the
-
desire to be edified right now. Jose is my friend, and I would
-
let him ask me anything he wanted to know, and like a thousand times
-
before I tell him exactly the answer. Take note, ladies, and you
-
have to choose to start accepting Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Isaiah,
-
Jeremiah. You have to start accepting them like you do the phone book.
-
You need to start accepting Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus. You have to
-
start accepting, accepting them like they're the dictionary. You have to start accepting
-
psalms like it's an encyclopedia. I can't do that. I can't do it
-
for you. I can't make you read the Bible in a new light.
-
I can't make you believe it, but I'm telling you, and Jose can
-
bear witness. You will not understand it until you believe it. Jose come
-
to me confused. You want to know why that's what he was reading.
-
He didn't believe it. The only thing I did was sat down with Jose
-
and I showed him how it was true. That's all I did. Please,
-
please just believe it. I promise. If you believe it, give
-
it time and it will make sense because he wrote it to inform you what
-
is to come, so that you would be prepared. If you need to
-
contact me, you can go buy WI two c dot com and fill out
-
the form to contact me. You can email me directly at Unbound Bible at
-
WI two c dot com. You can send me a message on Facebook.
-
Number of ways that you can get a hold of me. Get a hold
-
of me, and I promise you I will show you his wonders. If
-
you need to get a hold of Jose, get a hold of Jose,
-
there's there's there's a link on w I two c dot com and how you
-
can get ahold of Jose. Or if you don't like Jose, how about
-
Joe if you like Joe, better contact Joe or Ben. Contact one of
-
us, because you need to know what's to come. You don't want to
-
get the short end of the stick like those of the First Resurrection do,
-
because that's when they figure it out. God wrote the Bible so you would
-
know what is to come. That's why he did it. I need to
-
stop. We're at the top of the hour. Jose Can you please pray
-
us out of here. Yes, I can, Matthew, Dear Heavenly Father,
-
whom we love and serve, I thank you for allowing us to come
-
together. I thank you for giving us your word to study. Father.
-
I asked that the verses we've covered edify the ecclesia, and I ask that
-
you help people believe in your word, help them understand what is to come.
-
Father. We need this because we know time is short and we know
-
that the night draws near. Father. We just asked that these words help
-
us to understand your love, understand your commandments, and understand the spirit of
-
truth and how it guides us. So, Lord, we ask that you
-
please help us to continue to do these shows. These cast continues to bring
-
your word to the ecclesia, and we ask that everything we do edifies the
-
body. And we ask all this in the name of your son, our
-
Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen and Amen, Ladies and
-
gentlemen. Please just just try believing God's worn. Just just try believing it.
-
You will be amazed. Until next time, God bless, godspeed.
