Flight to Pella

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

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

subscribe and support this podcast. So we are Maranatha Ministries and our redemption draweth

Nighe. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to Maranatha Ministries. We are

your host Jose and Matthew. Tonight, we're going to forego Hebrews chapter four

because Janine cannot make it tonight and it was just not in our best interest

to continue without Janine. So that just wasn't going to happen. Jose said,

now we probably should not do it, agreed, So we came up

with something else we're going to cover tonight. But before we cover anything,

we obviously need to start the shin dig out with prayers. So you want

to start out or you want me to, Yeah, I'll start us off.

Matthew. Pretty good. Dear Heavenly Father, whom we love and serve,

I once again thank you for allowing us to gather together. Lord,

I thank you for giving us your word. I thank you forgiving us this

program, this ministry, to be able to share what you want us to

share with the Ecclesia. Lord I asked that this program tonight edify the body,

and Lord I asked that you send your Holy Spirit to educate us,

to comfort us, and to lead us in the way in which we must

go. And we ask all this in the name of your Son, our

Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen and Amen. All right,

Hose, won't you give us an opening comments let everybody know what this

special session is going to be. Well, we've been we've been bumping this

topic around for a while, Matthew, and you've made references to it in

the past. But quite frankly, it's it's it's a story, it's a

legend, it's you know, historical incident that you know. Some people argue

it's truth, it's veracity. Some people, you know, try to put

coals in it. But essentially it comes from the time just before Jerusalem was

destroyed, right around approximately eighty sixty eight, when the Romans were there to

destroy Jerusalem, and it tells the story of a group of Christians. Some

historians say that they were the original Christians in Jerusalem, the Church in Jerusalem

that escaped Jerusalem just before the destruction, echoing the words of Jesus in Luke

twenty one, verse twenty, where he says, when you see armies surrounding,

surrounding Jerusalem, head for the hills, right get out of there.

And so they listened to what Jesus said, and they remembered it, and

so they essentially executed the flight to Pella, which is a city that was

around the area of Galilee, around the Seer, the cities that were historically

known as the Dicopolis, where the Apostles and Jesus did a lot of their

their ministering. And so they went there and they essentially escaped the destruction of

Jerusalem. So that's the essential elements of the of the Tail, Matthew,

But obviously we're going to dig into a lot more than that, Yeah,

because it's it's well, you know, people don't expect to find this when

they do, right, and it kind of well, it does actually stare

you in the face, and it kind of nips into butt in the bud

all kinds of false things. It really does, and most people don't realize

that, Well, this is an isochronal event. Yes, God warned us,

and because of this they knew, The Christians knew in Jerusalem what was

about to take place, so they fled, and in doing so literally saved

them all. I mean, I hope most people can appreciate the simple fact

that it's very well possible that if all the Christians, of course, that's

where the church was centered. We know that from all the books of the

New Testament. It's quite possible that Christianity could have been snuffed out right there,

right correct. But they chose to flee, they chose to leave the

situation, and God actually spared them. So so when you realize that and

you sat back and you're like, now, wait a minute, you're saying

that this was a place prepared. That's see exactly what I'm saying. It

was a place prepared isochromeally speaking, and the placement of it is perfect.

For example, right now, if you take a tour of the Holy Land,

you can't go there. You can't go there because it's not an Israel,

is it. No, it's in Jordan. It's in Jordan. It's

on the other side of the Jordan. So just starting from right there,

you get a hint of what's to come, and pretty amazing. So when

you first looked at this, did you ever know that, well, obviously

you said, I've talked about it before. But before you came across this

ministry, did you ever know of the flight to Kla No, I didn't,

Matthew, I had never heard of it. And of course I had

read about the destruction of Jerusalem. I mean, that's that's an actrachronal event,

if there ever was one. So of course I had studied it and

looked into it. But number once had had I come across this flight to

Pella about quite possibly those the early Christians, you know, being rescued from

that destruction, you know, traditionally, I think what I had heard is

that because the apostles spread out everywhere and did their teaching, that that's how

the church spread. But we are told in the Acts that you've got James

and you've got other apostles in Jerusalem that they're they're ministering, they're there teaching,

they're they're spreading the Gospel in Jerusalem itself. And so yeah, the

question is always what happened to them? You know, did they get caught

up into in the destruction of Jerusalem in eighty seventy, were they a part

of that or did they escape? And that's never talked about, right,

Nope, not at all. Nobody t talks about it. Therefore nobody can

study it. I mean, you can't study it if it's not known,

right, we can't put two and two together. And that's really really the

injustice here. Correct. Yes, Christians don't know to study this. This

has been kept hidden when this is detrimental to what's to come, because this

is going to happen again. And Christ stated so that this is how it's

going to happen. And they saw in his words an echo of what is

to come. The final part. The final part, of course, would

be in well pertaining to Hebrews chapter nine, verses twenty seven and twenty eight.

But Isa Chroniley speaking, they know, ooh you know, oh no,

we we need to go right, we need to flee this situation.

And Christians should be studying this, Yes, yes, they shouldn't. And

it's amazing when you talk about this, especially in academic circles. When I've

brought this up to people who are, you know, accredited from an institution

of higher learning, I'll ask them about it and they'll have no idea what

I'm talking about. They'll have no idea what I'm talking about. Look,

you're a doctorate of theology and you don't know what I'm talking about. If

that is true, how could you possibly teach me anything? And that usually

takes people by surprise. When I say that, I mean there's some very

elementary things that you should be well versed in. I don't mean a little

bit, I mean well versed in when it comes to Bible prophecy, most

importantly, the entire thing that happened in seventy eight. And just take note

it went on for three and a half years, ladies and gentlemen. Yes,

yes it did. It started in sixty six, Yes, yes it

did. It started in the spring of sixty six, Yes it did,

and it went on until the fall. Everybody knows when, of course,

the temple fell, but it fell in seventy the fall of seventy eight.

Most of you are probably getting out of your calculate and you realize, wait

a minute, you're saying that's three and a half years. Yes, it's

three and a half years, right, Jose yep. So the other thing

that you know, I would say is a prerequisite is the flight to Pella,

because this directly pertains to us a man, Jose, Amen Matthew,

it you know, first off, I might want to I mentioned a couple

of verses here. I'm just gonna go ahead and jump over there, Jose,

because I have two for context and I don't need to leave people out

in the dark. We're gonna jump over to Hebrews Chapter nine, verses twenty

seven and twenty eight, New American Standard Bible. And in as much as

it appointed men to die once and after this comes judgment. So Christ also,

did you hear what that said? Jose? Mm hmm, okay,

just making sure you just make sure right I heard it. Yeah. So

Christ, also, having been offered up once to better the sense of many,

will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin to those who

eagerly await him. Jose, is there any is there any one and a

half return of Christ? There's nothing in the middle of that, Matthew,

No, what did this just say? This just said just that second time

is when he's returning. So with this in mind, ladies and gentlemen,

you have to realize that if you have been raised in a dispensationalized rapturist view,

you've got scarring on your psyche. Now I'm putting it that way for

a reason, and you need to understand what God's word says. I'm using

the word psyche in a very technical sense, and I'm going to take the

time to do this one more time. Everybody needs to study write this first

down. If you have dispensational rapture scarring on your psyche, you need to

write this down first. Asalonians chapter five, verse twenty three. That verse

tell God himself tells you that he himself is what carries you to the Perusia

of Christ, and when he does, he is going to protect your so

much psyche numa. So when I say psyche, I don't need the new

Age term or whatever these God haters say. When I say psyche, I

mean you need to figure out what that Greek word is, because that's how

He's going to carry you to christ Perusia, and God himself was going to

do that. It states it in so many chapters. I can't begin to

go into all those chapters where God literally says repeatedly He's going to gather you

and He's going to take care of you. That's exactly what first Thessalonian's chapter

five states. It opens with the day of the Lord that starts the tribulation,

and God himself is going to carry your so much psyche numa, your

body, your psyche or your mind, and your spirit. He's going to

carry you to Christ perusia. So when you take a look at this first

here in Hebrews, chapter nine, verses twenty seven and twenty eight, of

course it states it that way. Of course it does, because there is

no there is no cowardly partial perusia of Christ. So with that in mind,

if you don't know that you're going to be taken to a place prepared,

you don't know to well prepare for that, right Jose correct. And

if you don't know to prepare for it, you know, the Bible makes

some very pointed things about those not being ready, about those expecting something else.

And if you're expecting something else, you're in danger. That's that's all

I can say. You're endangering yourself. It's your own self volition that's endangering

you. So that being stated, if you run across someone that purports to

be a Bible prophecy expert and they can't tell you in detail about the destruction

of the temple in seventy a d. And why it lasted that long,

and about the flight to Pella. They aren't qualified to really teach you anything

because if you don't know those things, you obviously don't understand what the Bible's

saying. Jose your thoughts, No, Matthew. I think when you have

that scarring like you're talking about, even if you were to read this story,

it wouldn't register, Matthew, wouldn't register what God's trying to say because

you descritch the surface of what the historians say about this this event, and

automatically you used to start clicking off, and it's just sound very familiar.

It's it sound like the story we've heard of hundreds of times in the Bible.

You know, you should start hearing the exodus. He used to start

hearing the words of Jesus. He used to start hearing you know, what

we're told is to come. It's just it's there's just too many points when

you read about this, Matthew to ignore it. And so I think what

you're talking about where people are kind of tied down to a specific doctrine,

it hinders you being able to see what God's trying to show you isocnally especially,

and that's a shame, isn't it? Yes, it is, because

it's amazing when you're when you when you look at it. Jose, be

honest with me, and and I'm not trying to. I don't need to

be my own my own detractor, but just I have to ask the questions.

Just be honest with me. Okay, before you ran into this ministry,

had you ever heard of the Apocalypse of Isaiah before? No? I

had not, Matthew. And because you didn't know it, because you didn't

understand what it was. It is true that you'd read the Book of Isaiah

before. Correct, Yes, I had. And tell me how much did

you learn whenever you read it then? As compared to when you and I

covered it, you having ten years under your belt of solid Bible prophecy teaching,

did you learn a whole lot whenever we went over the Apocalypse of Isaiah?

Absolutely, Matthew. Like, obviously, when I read Revelation and I

read especially Isaiah twenty four, you can see the parallels, but I really

didn't understand the parallels right. I could see them, but I couldn't There

was no depth to it. And so when we were studying it, then

all those connections started to be made and a better understanding of what I would

say. He was saying the same thing in both books, but you know,

slightly differently to give you a better understanding and more details about what he's

talking about. And so that's that's what I enjoy about our studies, Matthew,

is that we try diligently to point out, Hey, this, this

Bible verse, this Bible chapter ties back to all these other ones. It's

all tied together, and here God, God's telling you this this piece and

revelation. But the rest of it is in Isaiah. The rest of it,

you know, is in the songs. Right. That's that's that's what

I That's what That's what's benefited me the most in these studies is really kind

of adding on to that foundations as we continue reading. And that is very

very encouraging, because of course, the people that's partaking of this program,

whether it be live, we're in the archive, they really don't know that

we only scratched the surface when we went through it, correct. I mean,

let's just talk about you. You had been studying it. So what

percentage of what you had to share was never covered because we didn't have enough

time? Was it ten percent or was it. Let's just say I didn't

break out the big shovel when I was studying at Matthew because I knew we

didn't we We're going to have enough time. I stuck to what as I

was reading whatever God said, talk about this, talk about this, talk

about this. That's what I stuck to because I know that there's no way,

you know, we could just if we just studied one word and the

Apocalypse of Isaiah. I mean, we could have stayed a whole week on

that one word, you know, and there's only so much time, and

we need to relay what's important. But yeah, I mean less than ten

percent Matthew. I mean that that's the number that dumps in my head.

You know about what we covered in the Apocalypse of Isaiah, and you just

you just can't, you know, you just can't cover everything. You just

got to rely on the Lord and the Holy Spirit to guide you and help

you relay what's important. I am so glad you said that, because as

soon as it came out of your mouth, it triggered me. It is

amazing that when boy, I need to I need to say, I need

to limit what I say. I'm not trying to hurt anybody's feelings, Hose,

and here I can certainly do this. Before you ran across this ministry,

you really did pray for the Holy Spirit to show you what was to

come right right, yes, sir, yes, amen? Okay, so

you was right where most people are. And ladies and gentlemen, I'm here

to tell you, please listen to my voice. When the Holy Spirit is

operating with you, you won't have enough time to cover everything you know.

But right now you're asking the Holy Spirit. You're praying for the Holy Spirit

to show you all this information. Show you all this information, ladies and

gentlemen. This is one of the key critical ways that you know the Lord

your God is with you. And I was taught this at a very young

age. The first time I got said in the pulpit in front of the

whole church, I was sixteen years old. And when I did, it's

amazing. On the backside, I understood what the people were saying, saying

that had raised me. No, Matthew, when the Lord your God is

with you, you won't have enough time. Don't worry about the information about

having enough information. No, if you're chasing after information, that's I don't

want to slam people. You can't chase after knowledge, Ladies and gentlemen.

That's gnosticism. I mean, and I'm sorry I said that if anybody took

it the wrong way, Okay, but it's it's the only word that because

that is a Greek word to know knowledge. So and Hojose said that this

is what he used to do. He would be asking for the Holy Spirit

to show him the information. No, ladies and gentlemen, the Holy Spirit

will give you so much information. That's not what you need. You need

time, you don't need data now, Jose, Is that the case?

Have you found that to be the case? Yeah? Absolutely, Matthew.

You know when when we used to do the longer shows, and I would,

I would, I would search out for that knowledge of what was being

said right. I would dig into those words and tie them into other verses

and try to piece together what God was trying to tell me. That still

happens when I study now. But but now I can definitely feel the Holy

Spirit leading me more, in other words, leading me to what needs to

be said right now, not not to to what I'm trying to learn about

and and and that's what I've definitely noticed. In other words, before I

would try to open up the hose and and and turn it on full blast

and try to hit everybody with everything that was being said, because it's all

important. And as I was learning about it, it was hitting me upside

the head and I had to get it out right now now it's it's it's

okay, let's let's slow this down. Let's let's put a kink in that

hose, and and let's let come out what needs to come out, just

enough to to feed and water everybody. And again, you can't you can

only do that with the Holy Spirit, Matthew. You or I don't know

what what people need. Boy, I cannot say amen enough to that,

because you know, Jose, what would happen if you went out to your

wife's garden. Okay, you went out your wife's garden, yep, and

you were really excited because hey, all the sprouts came out of the ground

and you turn that hose open, wide open and broke off all the stems.

How would that go over? I'd be in big trouble, Matthew.

And so everybody needs to know so many different ways, is what Jose and

I just said. When the Lord, your God is with you. The

only way that the event that can be controlled is with time. Now Jose

can bear witness to this, as can hundreds of people. When Jose first

doing programs with me, I was relaying gigabytes of information, terabytes of information,

right, Jose, Yes, yes, yes, But then all of

a sudden God did something. He opened your ears, and all of a

sudden I didn't have to tell you anything more. You could hear it,

couldn't you, Yes, especially the aspect with the children right right right,

And then sit there and wonder why hadn't I heard it before? And now

you can't keep from hearing it correct. Case in point, You're probably gonna

get frustrated when I say this to you, because well, you just will.

I say. One of my dear, dear, dear elders, brother

Johnson, he asked me a very serious question. I have not gone to

college yet, so I was still in high school. Of course I had

two hundred and fifty trillion questions, right, He just said, Matthew,

calm down, just set in the pew because I'd stayed after service, you

know, and ask what we always did. I mean, I would just

ask all the elders a million questions, and finally Brother John said, Matthew,

sit down. So I sat down in the pew and he sat down

in the pew beside me, and he goes, he goes, how bad

is it? I said, you know, really, I mean, you

know, and the first thing that always comes out of my mouth is,

well, how many babies have we murdered? And uh, you know,

I got you know, I go on to say, you know, you

know, crime is off, you know, off off the charts, YadA

YadA yah, and he just let me sit there and speaking, and then

he said, all right, that being stated, what do you think it's

going to take for God to get up and do something? I said,

what what do you I don't understand the question. What do you mean?

What's it gonna take? Well, Matthew, what's it gonna take? How

many Christians do you think there's going to be left before he gets up and

does something about it? And then, of course Versus started turning gears in

my brain. Let me say it to make sure you understand what I said.

Versus start turning gears in my brain, and I realized, well,

the real question is is he going to do something before he has no children

left. And it took me a minute and then it hit me like a

ton of bricks. You're right, that's what he done before, right right?

Why did I know? You know the verses that states that God says,

I'm going to gather you a second time? Right? Yes, when

did he do that the first time? What made him get involved? Jose?

Yeah, well when they were when the Egyptians were terrorizing the Hebrews,

killing their killing their their first born males. That's right, the slaughter of

the innocence. Yes, let's talk about with Jesus. Jesus was born naturally

right, Yes, he went hungry, he got sick, right yep,

is going on just fine? When did God get involved? When Herod went

after all those babies in Bethlehem of the in no sense? Yes, So,

ladies and gentlemen, you need to understand that in your heart of arts,

especially if you're a mom or a dad. Especially if you're a mom

or a dad, you'll know when that time, when that time comes,

And it's not right now, God's children are not in danger. Okay,

Yes, there's martyrs, Yes, there's people getting killed, but the church

is secure, right Jose, Right, there is no doubt that the church

can still bear fruit, right, correct? And when the birth pains,

ladies and gentlemen, that ain't going to be the case no more than it

was the case starting in the spring of sixty six AD. God is going

to get up when his children are in danger of being no more so.

There is coming a time when the Gospel will not be able to be preached.

And this is why the Book of Revelation states that the Gospel is going

to be preached. You know a lot of people say it different ways the

whole world the ends of the yearth you're missing the point, ladies and gentlemen,

And I'm sorry if you're learning this just now. What he means is

this, you're going to know what time it is when you can no longer

preach the God. That's when you should know that Christianity can't bear fruit anymore,

right, Jose Correct. And I'm gonna be honest with everybody. The

first thing that's going to have to happen for that for that to be the

case is the five oh one c three status for churches is going to have

to be abolished. If you've never heard that before in a program about end

time, Bible prophecy. Boy, you've got a lot to learn because it

is coming. So tell me about what you learned about Pella. Jose Well,

I want to I just want to give a couple of quotes from a

couple of the historians that have reported on it, obviously after the fact,

but one of the sources is Eusebius, and he says this. He says,

the people of the Church in Jerusalem were commanded by an oracle given by

revelation before the war, to those in the city who were worthy of it,

to depart and dwell in one of the cities of Perea, which they

called Pella. To those who believed on Christ traveled from Jerusalem, so that

when Holy Men had altogether deserted the royal capital of the Jews and the whole

land of Judea. And then another similar quote is from Epiphanius, So Aquila,

while he was in Jerusalem also saw the disciples of the Disciples of the

Apostles flourishing in the faith and working great signs, healings and other miracles.

For they were such as had come back from the city of Pella to Jerusalem

and were living there and teaching. For when the city was about to be

taken and destroyed by the Romans. It was revealed in advance to all the

disciples by an Angel of God, so that they should remove from the city

as it was going to be completely destroyed. They sojourned as immigrants and Pella

the city above mentioned in trans Jordania, and this city is said to be

of the Dicopolis. So what hit me about those two quotes, Matthew,

is You're essentially given two witnesses, right, the first one is an oracle

telling the Christians to leave, and the second one is an angel telling the

Christians to leave. So that was that was That's pretty significant to me,

Matthew. That that just again, that just sets off bells and whistles in

my head when I hear the hear that reporting about what happened. So this

is pretty important that that this oracle gave them the heads up, yes,

and it prepared them to leave. They didn't leave yet, It's very important

to point this out. The oracle didn't make them leave. The oracle got

them ready, correct, and the angel showed up Will Jose couldn't have happened

any other way, No, it makes it makes perfect sense. Matthew.

But that's how it had to happen, because she is given the wings of

an eagle. Amen. Amen, that's what the Bible states in Operation Eagles

Wings is from Isaiah chapter forty correct. Yes, okay, let's let's do

that. Let's jump over there, ladies and gentlemen, to Isaiah the fortieth

chapter, which which of course has the entire timeline right here if you have

eyes that can see it. But we won't cover the whole thing, but

you need to know that this is this is where operation eagles Wings comes from.

All right, Yeah, Now before I read this, no one understanding

your heart that the oracle made them ready? How do I say this?

Let me use the phraseology of the KJV. Let me switch it over to

the KJV. Okay, the oracle made them wait, made them wait for

what the angel to show up. That's what this verse is getting ready to

say. They had an oracle, so they got ready to leave, and

they didn't leave yet until the Angel showed up and let them out. Listen

for it. That's what you're going to hear Isaiah chapter forty, first thirty

one. But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They

shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary,

and they shall walk and not be faked. That's exactly what the first

estate. That's exactly what happens. And it's amazing that ladies and gentlemen,

you can't take history back once it's been documented this. Then they went to

Pella. That should get everybody's attention because that's exactly what happened. Now,

it's pretty important that all of you understand. You know, one of the

best as chatological timeline pieces you can get is I mean, believe it or

not, it really is from Jesus himself. It really is. Jesus states

emphatically here that you're gonna have another oracle. Okay, but you have to

listen, you have to lit well, I guess you just have to believe.

The disciples come right out and say, Hey, what's what's gonna be

some signs? Another way to put this is what's gonna be some oracles?

Okay,'tis you gotta you gotta have ears that can hear. So Matthew

Chapter twenty four, verse three, And as he said upon the Mount of

Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, tell us when shall

these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming and of

the end of the world. And Jesus said that them take heed that no

man deceive you. Okay, So he's getting ready to give you some oracles.

Okay, here's some oracles. For many shall come in mind name saying

I am the Christ, and shall deceive many. And you shall hear of

wars, rumors of wars. See to that you're not troubled. For all

these things must come to past. But the end is not yet. Okay.

So when you see those things, wait for it, because you're going

to have these things happen. Next, nation will rise against nation, and

kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines and pasti lenses and earthquakes in

diverse places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then they shall deliver

you up to be afflicted and shall kill you, and you shall be hated

of all nations. I just said it a few minutes ago. He's telling

you that this gospel the Kingdom will be preached on the whole planet, and

that's going to be a trigger point. He just said it again. But

most of you didn't have years that could hear once the gospel goes to all

the nations. It's then they will hate you and will trigger these things.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, literally, this is perfectly describing the four writers

of the apocalypse. Jesus is telling you right here, Look, all these

things are oracles. Brace yourself, Okay, brace yourself, because there's going

to be an event. And if you keep reading, that's exactly what he

states. We get down here. I'm not going to read the whole thing,

but it states in here what the trigger itself is. You should know

that once this happens, you're going to have divine intervention, right hose or

is it just me? No? Yeah, that's exactly what it says,

Matthew. That's what it's going to take to It's going to take those eagles

wings to save you. So when this is talked about in Revelation chapter twelve,

it should follow suit. These things should make perfect sense to you.

It should make perfect sense to you. Take note. This is exactly what

it states was pick it up in verse six. No one understand once they

start gathering. Look, everything that Matthew twenty four states is going to happen

happens. And the woman fled into the wilderness where she had a place prepared

of God that they should feed her there for one thousand and two and three

score days. So in this event she flees. So now you should know

that at the end of the first four seals you're going to be triggered to

flee. It's at that point that there is war in heaven, so you

should know that entails a divine intervention. Now, after you fled into the

wilderness, this is what happens. Now, remember what this is describing is,

what's a desert that's close to you, jose Oh, you got the

Sonoran desert, just someth of us. Does it have any oasis in it?

There are a few, Matthew, but not a whole lot. Okay,

that's what God's describing here. You flee into a place like that,

and then this is gonna happen. You're not going to be able to find

the oasis out in the middle of his desert. So after there's war in

heaven, listen verse thirteen. And when the dragon saw that he was cast

into the ear, he persecuted the woman, which brought forth the male child,

and the women were given the two wings of a great eagle that she

might fly into the wilderness, into her place where she is nourished for time

and times in half the time from the face of the serpent. So you

put the two verses together about her flight and to the wilderness, you understand

that the angels show up and direct us to a place exactly like pellas exactly

what's going to happen. It's exactly what's going to happen. It's actually it's

being described, and this is absolutely an isochronal event. Jose, Yeah,

let me read this line here from this article, Matthew. It says here,

as a Greek city of the Dicapolis, Pella would have been relatively secure

from the reprisals of the Romans. No place inside udea Samaria, a galilee

would have provided truly secure refuge. And this fact would have been recognized at

the time. A couple other things on its name, Matthew, that that

would indicate it was set apart or prepared. Right, it's the etymology of

the word pelle, says here ancient Greek, it appears that to mean stone,

right, Pella's etymology is stone okay. Also, Pella was the name

of the birthplace of Alexander, the great in Macedonia, and it's it's been

theorized by by a sixth century historian Staffanos. He said that the pella in

the Dicopolis was founded by Alexander himself and named after his birthplace. Okay,

another point, when the Ptolemaic Empire ruled that area, they named the place

Bernice, Matthew, So you have all these indicators here, which is telling

me that God has set this place apart and uses all kinds of oracles to

let us know it's isoconal significance. Now, just so everybody understands what he

just said, especially if you're looking encyclopedia. Ladies and gentlemen, you got

to make sure you differentiate between the two palace. Yes, one is in

Greece, one is in Jordan, so make sure you're looking at the right

place. And yes, I am astounded that Jose brought that up. If

you need a hint, you ain't got a clue. This place was literally

this would have been the perfect place to go. Ladies and gentlemen, would

have been that perfect place to go, someplace within the decropolis. Somehow,

some way we had to get Bible prophecy involved. I am amazed, No,

one I've ever talked to that was my student in a classroom setting.

None of them knew about Bernice. None of them knew well. And of

course once I told them, they off shot their hands up. Wait a

minute, that's the Queen of the South right. Amen? Amen, Because

you're really talking about you're really talking about, well, how much time we

got left. We got thirteen minutes left. So much to teach, so

much, so much information here. And it's amazing to me that if I

was to go to the Holy Land, it would obviously take me saving up

for years and years and years, because yeah, I'm like five thousand dollars

below the poverty level what I make a year. But I would really hesitate

if if you told me, yeah, you got the money to but you

can't. You can't go to Pella. I mean because to me, I

mean, I appreciate the Temple Mount right right, but I know what's to

come, and to me, it's more important to go to Pella for me

to prepare myself. I would love to walk from Jerusalem to Pella. Ay

man. I mean, you can keep the Temple Mount, you can keep

you know, you know, the tum of David. You can keep you

know the tune that they think that Jesus left me. No, that's what

I would want to do, hozad want to go there and you let me,

you know, have a map. Okay, what way would they have

went? Is there a beaten path between these two? I want to walk

where they walked. I want to know where what they were doing, and

take note, they obviously did it in one track, right jose Yes.

Okay, for those of you that don't believe God's word, I'll read it

for you one more time, because I don't think I know what happened.

God's already told me. They didn't have to rest, they didn't sleep here.

I'll give it to you. Yet, those who wait for the Lord

will gain new strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They

will run and not get tired. They will walk and not become weary.

They hoofed it straight to Pella, and that was probably key critical to the

track, right jose Yes, And most of you should probably know this.

If you get a map Google Earth, however you want to do it,

and you keep to the terrain and track from Bethlehem to where the grass gets

green in Egypt. You know the Nile delta. That's two hundred miles,

ladies and gentlemen. And this is a historical factor. Everybody knows this laden

down with women, children and baggage, you can travel twenty miles a day.

Every body knows that. Yes they do. It's been known for thousands

of years. A wagon train can only go twenty miles a day. That

track took Joseph, Mary and Baby Jesus ten days. Yes it did,

because this perfectly he mimics what happened with Baby Jesus, right, Jose,

Absolutely, yep. And it states that the angel said, what go to

where? Go to Egypt? Yes, that's exactly what Bible prophecies said.

I mean, the angel wasn't doing anything special, Jose. The angel was

doing what Bible prophecy told him he was going to do, because it was

the word of God that told that angel out of Egypt. I've called my

son amen Amen. Yeah, he was just sticking to the game plan,

right, right, So hindsight's probably twenty twenty to an angel, right.

And they're very habitual. Yes, they're not wishy washedy like people, right,

Jose, They're not wishy washed. No. And if the word of

God tells them Okay, they're supposed to take you to a world in this

place. They probably have it already planned out. Correct, correct, Yes,

So, ladies and gentlemen, I would implore you to look up.

This will keep you busy, right Jose, Yes, absolutely, get ladies

and gentlemen, see if you can do the research and find all of the

ancient quotes where the Christians fled to color and by all means, you need

to get a timeline of what happened in seventy eighty. Now I have shared

one many, many, many times, many times. Here I will read

to you the one that I've given to Jose many times. But we'll just

read this. So in seventy a d. April fourteenth Passover, John enters

the temple. What John is he talking about? Ladies and gentlemen? On

the same day Titus in camps. You know what, we don't have time

to do this. You need to get you the timeline, the chronology of

what happened in seventy a d. Right now, for those of us that

are live, I will put it into the chat one more time. I

have shared this hundreds of times. I have repeatedly told people to get this

and study this because This is literally a roadmap to what's to come. Only

this time, ladies and gentlemen, it is not a local event. This

is going global. So the next time this happens, the next time this

happens and God gets involved, nothing will be the same after it time itself

won't be the same. So please look these things up. Please look them

up. Remember there's two pellas from one there's one in Jordan and one in

Greece. You need to study the history of both. Coose No. All

last thing I want to say, Matthew is that the excavations are ongoing right

now in the ancient city of Pella. So I'd be interested to see what

they've dug up and what it can tell us about what is to come exactly.

So you haven't studied any of the archaeological findings. I'm just looking and

the articles right now, just trying to see what I can see. So

did you hear about the flowers that bloom in the spring? No? I

did not. Well, let's jim just so you know it's it is a

marvel to look at the pictures because how do I say this, The tourists

they make the archaeologists mad because they all show up by the thousands in spring

because every spring it's look, it's an annual event for tourists to massively flock

to Pella. I'm not lying, and when I said in oasis, that's

what I meant, because thousands of tourists show up annually in spring, which

at that time in the area it's completely just flooded with spring flowers. Look,

please look it up, do your research. I know this because I've

talked to one of the archaeologists, and it really is amazing that all these

tourists just show Why are you showing up in Tella to look at flowers?

Anyway, that being stated, all of you probably realize that you're probably really

frustrated at me right now because you realize that I could really give you some

inside information. But you know what, the Holy Spirit restricts Jose and I

with time because God's plan is always executed according to time. We have to

redeem the time, right, Jose. Absolutely, everything is only beautiful when

and it's time in it's time. Look at it this way, ladies and

gentlemen. If you just figured this out tonight and nobody had ever told you

that any Christians had to be spared in Jerusalem. If you just found that

out tonight that, of course that's where they had of the church was.

Of course you know that if you've read the New Testament, of course it

states that's where the head of the church was, was that Jerusalem with of

course Jesus is even even Jesus's brother, right, yes, Okay, So

if you thought that you know, there was no Jerusalem, there was no

Christians in Jerusalem and seventy a d And your preacher never told you the importance

of this. Wow, You've got a lot of catching up to do,

and now you don't have any time for distractions with the entertainment industry, right,

jose correct. This will literally keep you up all hours of the night

digging for more of the information God's word has to give you, because have

you been looking for information? Something's wrong. If this is the first time

you've ever been informed that God actually wrote his word to give you all the

details. He didn't write it to confuse you. I'm out of time.

Let us pray, Dear Heavenly Father, whom we serve through the Lord Jesus

Christ, to your son, Father and our Savior, please fill us with

your holy spirits that we might be pleasing and acceptable in your side to the

Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Thank you so much for the time

that you gave us to share. Thank you so much for the precious time

we got to spend with your children. Thank you so much for the time

you gave us to come together as your church. And I pray that I

pray you be with the listener. I pray that you choose to be their

god father. They have no hope outside of you making that simple choice to

be their god, because then you will draw them to your son. And

your son is faithful and he will save them. And this is the most

that Hose, Hose and I can ask for. It's the most that we

can ask for, is you to choose to be their God. Many of

them have stumbled and stumbled and stumbled and tripped over the search for knowledge.

Please call them according to your purpose. Lord, Please let Jose and I

bear fruit so that your kingdom might have increase. In Christ's name, we

pray, Amen and Amen Amen. Until next time, ladies and gentlemen,

God bless godspeed. Thank you for listening to Marinath the ministries with Matthew Miller.
