  4. Draweth Nigh. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the program. We're

  5. your host, Jose and Matthew tonight is going to be allayed in Jose's lap

  6. because he come up with this show. So in times like this, you

  7. know, everybody needs to get used to this, that Jose and I do

  8. this many times, and you could do this too. Let's don't forget that

  9. that if God l likes something on your heart, you can contact either me

  10. or or Jose and you can come on the program. So this is how

  11. I usually do this every day, Right, Jose, I will send you

  12. text, Hey, what are we doing? Right? Yes? Right?

  13. So I don't want anybody to think that this is my show, and it's

  14. certainly not Jose's show. It's Maranatha Ministries. Okay. See, if you

  15. think that you can edify the body of Christ, then you need to get

  16. a hold of me or Jose and come on and do your thing. So

  17. so do not that that's what we're doing with Jose. I'm not sure which

  18. particular direction he's going to go, but I know one thing for sure.

  19. I know how he's going to get there. And that's what the Bible,

  20. God's Holy Word hose. All right, Matthew. So well, you know,

  21. I do my daily Bible reading, and I have my the way.

  22. I'm going through the Old Testament and the New Testament, familiarizing myself with with

  23. all the chapters in the Bible, and of course, inevitably God's gonna God's

  24. gonna I'm gonna read something, and God's gonna say, hey, remember what

  25. you read about this and in the book Revelation, Hey remember what Matthew and

  26. Leonard were talking about. Yeah, yeah, this is it, this is

  27. it right here right uh. And and it's beautiful when that happens, Matthew,

  28. because again, too many times we read our Bible like it's a literature

  29. book, a narrative. You know, you're you're you're reading the reading it

  30. as a story and not as information that God's trying to relay. When we

  31. know that everything that God's put in his word is prophetic and it's there for

  32. a reason. And yeah, maybe the first time, you're not going to

  33. catch it. Maybe the tenth time. It may take one hundred times going

  34. through that chapter, Matthew. But when God, when you're ready, and

  35. and God ready to show you, he's going to show you what he He's

  36. going to show you what data he's storing in those verses. And that's what

  37. I came across, Matthew, when I read Buter on Me twenty three,

  38. specifically the first stanza that I came across, and when I read it,

  39. immediately, of course, it took me straight to the chapters out of the

  40. book Revelation. I saw that entities here I could tell exactly what God was

  41. trying to tell me. One because I had already read the Book of Numbers,

  42. so I was familiar with some of the characters in the stanza. But

  43. two, I actually believed what God was telling me and all the other chapters

  44. I read. So when I when I read this stanza, I'm able to

  45. put two and two and two together and see what God's trying to show me.

  46. So would you like to add something before before I read this stanza,

  47. Matthew, No, because you're you're obviously going to catch everybody by surprise.

  48. Because nobody's going to tie these two together. I mean, what could this

  49. possibly have to do within time, Bible prophecy? What this has nothing to

  50. do with anything that that's what they're thinking. Now when you sent me,

  51. and you only sent me two verses. You didn't send me a send me

  52. a Stanzara chapter. You just sent me two verses. And I immediately replied,

  53. Now that's a good call. So no, I will, I would

  54. just listen and digest, because that's really what I need to get behind.

  55. I need to know which gears in your brain was turning. Okay, So

  56. so take it away, all right. So I'm in Deuteronomy twenty three.

  57. I'm reading out of the NASB the nineteen ninety five, and the first Danza

  58. is the first verses. No one who is emasculated or has his male organ

  59. cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord. No one of illegitimate birth

  60. shall enter the assembly of the Lord. None of his descendants, even to

  61. the tenth generation, shall enter the assembly of the Lord. No ammonite or

  62. moabite shall enter the assembly of the Lord. None of their descendants even to

  63. the tenth generation, shall ever enter the assembly of the Lord. Because they

  64. did not meet you with food and water on the way when you came out

  65. of Egypt. And because they hired against you Balem, the son of Beor

  66. from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you. Nevertheless, the Lord your God

  67. was not willing to listen to Balem. But the Lord your God turned the

  68. curse into a blessing for you. Because the Lord your God loves you,

  69. you shall never seek their peace or their prosperity all your day. Now,

  70. well, go ahead, Matthew, I'll let you come it. Before I

  71. was just gonna say, that's a mouthful. Yes, that that's a mouthful,

  72. and everybody should realize that that. Now look that character you will find

  73. in revelation, right, yes, so I'll just leave it right there back

  74. to you. So my first clear here, Matthew, was that word assembly.

  75. I wanted to see what word was being used here in the original languages

  76. and in the Hebrew when I thought it out, I'll look at the look

  77. up the the h number four is age sixty nine fifty one. It's the

  78. same word that's used in the Hebrew version of the New Testament for the Church.

  79. And of course when you flip over to the Greek, the word you

  80. get there in assembly is the ecclesiamasty man you, so you know directly what

  81. God's talking about here that assembly. He's talking about the woman, the church,

  82. the ecclesia, his body. That's that's what he's describing here prophetically for

  83. us. So when you see the first two entities in the Stanza, the

  84. ones that are wounded in the stones or have their preview member cut off,

  85. that's the way that the King James puts it, Matthew. That originally,

  86. that immediately takes me to well, the most and the taludin specifically, because

  87. we're told in Revelation fourteen that one of these groups is not defiled by women.

  88. And so you know, without getting to graphic, Matthew, someone who's

  89. in this position, you know, they will not be able to to be

  90. defiled, to live with that, they won't be able to be defiled by

  91. women if they are in this this condition, Matthew. Okay. And what

  92. solidified that thought for me is that the next the next line, the NASP

  93. says illegitimate birth. I think sometimes in the Greek it says anyone who's laying

  94. with the prostitute or harlot. Right, So that is talking about the sons

  95. of disobedience, and they they're told, we're told that they're not even up

  96. to the tenth generation. They're going to enter into into the congregation, Matthew,

  97. into the assembly. Right off the bat. You're getting three characters that

  98. God's just you know, tells us about in in the Book of Revelation,

  99. just to start off this stanza. And you know, we can translate this

  100. even further, Okay, and hopefully I will trigger some remembrancers from the New

  101. Testament. You will know them by their fruit. Let me say that again.

  102. You will know them by their fruit. And it is your job as

  103. a Christian to propagate the promises of God. And if you have an individual

  104. that is not willing to talk about Jesus, that's not willing to evangelize,

  105. that is too scared to say the name Jesus in public, they cannot bear

  106. fruit. Boy, When I put it in that light, everybody starts to

  107. get uncomfortable and they start shifting around in their seats when I say this,

  108. When I speak about this topic in a classroom setting or even from the pulpit,

  109. you will visibly see people start to get uncomfortable because now they understand that

  110. the assembly of the Lord Jesus Christ bears fruit. So whatever mechanation that takes,

  111. yes, And you have to realize this ties in part and parcel many

  112. people that are calling themselves Christians, they will deny Christ, especially at their

  113. place of employment, especially if that if that if that place of employment is

  114. paying him over six figure digits. Now it brings to my remembrance one such

  115. example. I knew a professor and he was also on the I'm not going

  116. to say too much he was. He was part of the clergy of the

  117. church, and when cornered publicly about an event that was going to take place

  118. on his campus, he refused to do it, and of course I had

  119. to point out to him, so you're denying, you deny Jesus publicly.

  120. Of course that nipped him in the bud. So once you're able to pan

  121. out and realize what is being said here prophetically, ladies and jolemen, he's

  122. saying things that's going to protect you because these things are coming, they really

  123. are coming. So that's just some things on the surface as to why he

  124. would be talking about this in present light to you. If you are not

  125. willing to bear fruit for Christ, that is propagate more Christians. That's how

  126. you bear fruit if somebody or someone has nipped you in the bud and you

  127. cannot bear fruit because you're afraid. A lot of you are getting dry in

  128. the mouth, aren't you, and you're feeling lucky that boy. I'm really

  129. glad I'm not in Matthew's classroom because the Lord would tell him, and you're

  130. right he would. So now that Jose has brought out one angle and I've

  131. brought out another angle, now I bet you're off setting their thinking. Wait

  132. a minute, maybe I better read the whole book of Deuteronomy because I've never

  133. read it before. But I'm here to tell you true as a Christian,

  134. you better bear fruit because there is no there is no member of the ecclesia

  135. that is sterile, that doesn't exist. Jose. Yeah, Matthew, that's

  136. along the lines that I was thinking, because you have this group that's we're

  137. told is the rest of your children in Revelation twelve that's not taken to that

  138. place prepared. And there's a reason for that, and it's exactly what you

  139. pointed out. They're not producing fruit, and so now they have to I

  140. literally give their head to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. So the next

  141. the next set I want to talk about is when it mentions Balea Matthew.

  142. We're told that when the Lord was taking them out of Egypt, they hired

  143. against them Balem. And we're told, prophetically, Egypt is the earth.

  144. So if we're looking at this from the from the angle of the book revelation,

  145. that Balem there is the false prophet. He is the one that is

  146. hired by the Ammonite and the Moa bite to stop God's children, to stop

  147. God's plan. He was hired to curse them. So you know, this

  148. is where you would have to flip back to the Book of Numbers and read

  149. about Baalik and Balem and see everything that transpired there to get the full prophetic

  150. picture of that story. But just by the opening and the end of this

  151. dance of Matthew, you're you're giving that picture that this is speaking prophetically,

  152. this is not talking about you know this this time, this instance in time

  153. when Moses was leading the Hebrews out of Egypt. So we're also told where

  154. the false prophet comes from the Latin Mesotamia between the two rivers, right,

  155. and I mean that's you take that all the way to Assyria, Babylon.

  156. I mean, this is all, this is all time together in a neat

  157. little bow that God's giving us. So that leaves us Matthew with verse three,

  158. the Ammonite and the Moabite. And I know you've repeated it over and

  159. over what those two names mean. Amen means of the people, and Moab

  160. means of the Father. Prophetically, that's telling us the Ammonites are those that

  161. are the earth, those inhabitants of the earth, the men that are there,

  162. and Moab is quite literally the sons of God. So these are this

  163. is what we've described also in the past, Matthew as the well that the

  164. family of God, the angels or the family of Man. Right, that's

  165. right. And they both come into league once these events occur, and their

  166. main point is to stop to stop God's people from entering the promised Land.

  167. That's their whole objective. That's right. And we can put the nail right

  168. in the coffin right here with ehisions chapter three, verses fourteen fifteen. Man

  169. don't have to read because I know what it says. For this reason,

  170. I bow my knees before the Father from whom every family in heaven and on

  171. Earth derives its name. If you didn't know that was in reference to moe

  172. Abin Emmon, you're behind the game, because prophetically what jose said is exactly

  173. the case. It's exactly the case, and we're going to go one step

  174. further. Many of you know that burst from Isaiah chapter twenty five that says,

  175. and on this mountain, he will swallow up the covering which is over

  176. all the people's, even the veil which is stretched over the nations. If

  177. you don't know Hebrew, you don't get it, because that just said Lote's

  178. name. Lot in Hebrew is the word for veil, the cover. Yes,

  179. it is. You're supposed to prophetically know that. So when you're looking

  180. at the Hybraka, when you get to Genesis chapter nineteen, verses thirty six

  181. through thirty eight, if you're looking at a Hebrew you can plainly see what

  182. he's saying. He's plainly saying that Ammon means the human race that are not

  183. a part of the Ecclesia. And Moab are talking about the fallen angels.

  184. And of course these two agents come together in none other than the Great Tribulation,

  185. and they both elect for themselves a bramble king. Yes they do.

  186. They hand over to him all authority. So a lot of people. That

  187. takes a lot of people by surprise. So maybe people should grab something right

  188. with and something to write on Lot's name in Hebrew is h Is thirty eight

  189. seventy six. Okay, you need to know it, you need to learn

  190. it. You need to look these things up. Okay now Moab is h

  191. forty one p. Four h forty one twenty four. These things are important

  192. that you look them up, see what they say, how it works out,

  193. what's going on. You need to know these things for self edification.

  194. Now you're waiting for me to give to you a MoBIB, I'm not gonna

  195. do it. One third should be your own edification. I'm putting you in

  196. the right place, and I'm going to start. You know, Jose don't

  197. want me to get on my bandwagon, but I'm going to start doing it

  198. from now on. You need to look it up on Amazon or wherever you

  199. can a strongest concordance that's key to a certain translation. You can get it

  200. to the New American Standard Bible. You can get it to the King James

  201. version. You can get it to the new King James. You can get

  202. it to the ESV. You need to pick one and get it in route

  203. to your house. Now. You need to do it now. And if

  204. you're too poor to do so, you get a hold of me and I

  205. assure you that the Ecclesia Vast will give me the resources. You picked the

  206. translation and we will get one to you free of charge. Because we're way

  207. past the point of no return here. Let me just say one thing off

  208. topic, Ladies and gentlemen, when you can see and you can hear the

  209. Bible, God's Holy Word, it has an effect on you. And I'm

  210. going to tell you something that happened in the past before the Great War began.

  211. There was the reason why all the Brits were caught by surprise. All

  212. the Brits were caught by surprise because they had literally been to the point of

  213. arming sides for a civil war. I'm sorry if you don't know this.

  214. I'm sorry if it's been taken from you, but you need to understand this

  215. that literally Ireland and the Brits had already started arming for a civil war because

  216. Ireland did not want to be ruled by Great Britain. Now, there was

  217. a crash in Northern Ireland of people that did consider themselves to be Brits.

  218. So when World War broke out, that's why the British Empire was caught completely

  219. by surprise. You need to understand this is going on in your country right

  220. now, but you can't see it because you can't see. When you take

  221. the Bible, God's Holy Word and you make it a lamp unto your feet

  222. and the Lord blesses you and you're able to project it out to the road

  223. in front of you, it becomes a light into your path. I've said

  224. that to say this, you need to harken to my voice and you need

  225. to start the self edification process. I can do a whole lot for you,

  226. and Jose can do a whole lot for you, but we can't do

  227. a fraction of the amount that the Holy Spirit can do with you with the

  228. strongest concordance and a translation. I'm only going to say this, Yes,

  229. you can get a strong concordance key to the NIV. The NIV is not

  230. a translation, it's a paraphrase. So I've said enough information overload again,

  231. Jose, So back to you, all right, Matthew, I just want

  232. to point out one other thing that some people get tripped up and thinking,

  233. you know, that maybe they can't see that this is speaking prophetically, and

  234. they like to throw in here that you know, either God or or the

  235. Jews or Christians are being racist because these are singling out different groups and tribes.

  236. But we know that's not true, Matthew, because Ruth herself was a

  237. moabiitis and she's in the mind of our Lord. There's no way this can

  238. be talking about Moab and the natural. No, this has to be talking

  239. about Moab, the spiritual Moab. I'm describing that family of Heaven that you're

  240. talking about, and so you know, I just I just don't want to

  241. anyone to get tripped up on that or you know, I've heard that argument

  242. before, or or that discussion where where people focus on Moab as a as

  243. a people group or as a tribe. But no, this is that's not

  244. what this is talking about here, because we know what this assembly, with

  245. this ecclesia is, Matthew. There's no way that this can be in the

  246. natural. That's that's right. Did you you you really really took care of

  247. that problem. That didn't even cross my mind. But No, it's not

  248. a it's I am irritated that you say this discussion. It's not a discussion,

  249. it's a distraction. Yes, okay. When you know that a moa

  250. bidas is in the line to King David himself, you better make what comes

  251. out of your mouth in agreeance with that. So that's all I've got to

  252. say about that. That's not a discussion. That's not up for debate.

  253. That's a distraction. That's straight out of the entertainment industry. Back to you,

  254. all right, Matthew. So this takes us straight over to Psalm eighty

  255. three, the Psalm of Asaf, and I'm going to read a few verses

  256. here, starting in verse six, Stam and the Ishmaelites Moab and the Hagarites,

  257. Geball and Ammon and Amalek. The Listia with the inhabitants of tire Assyria

  258. also has joined them. They have become a help to the children of Lot.

  259. Say law, so you have this hole list here, Matthew, that

  260. come in league with the Syria with Asher. And but in verse eight,

  261. God singles out the children of Lot, which we know is Moab and amen,

  262. that's right. And so this specific group, these two specific groups are

  263. targeted by the Assyrian to come in league and make make a covenant together.

  264. And again, if you if you understand this prophetically, you know that God's

  265. telling us that the families of heaven Moab and the families of the Earth Amen

  266. are going to come in league with the Assyrian with their false prophet to put

  267. to try to to try to stop God. I mean, I don't even

  268. know why they think that's even possible, but but that's what they're attempting to

  269. do, Matthew, when they're when they're coming in league with the Assyrian.

  270. That's right, that's right, that's that's the whole truth and nothing but the

  271. truth. So help me God. So I'm glad you jumped over here to

  272. to the Book of Asaf because you and I need to do this, don't

  273. we happen? Yep, we've matter of fact, we we we might actually

  274. do that series next. So very important stuff that you realize. That's why

  275. it says that here when it already said Moab and Ammon, it said Moab

  276. in verse six, it said Ammon in verse seven. Then it tells you,

  277. prophetically, the sons of the Veil. He's literally coming right out and

  278. telling you, by the way, this is how the planet's going to be.

  279. And by using these two names in linked with Asher, you know he's

  280. talking about the Assyrian false prophet. You don't have to like it. He

  281. is going to run the whole planet. He's going to run the whole planet.

  282. So yeah, good stuff, Jose So Matthew, but when you think

  283. about it, I mean, at least when I first started to understand what

  284. God was telling me, that this false prophet, this Assyrian, this Balem

  285. is going to essentially, you know, force the angels to come under his

  286. thumb the same way he's going to force man to come under his thumb.

  287. Boy, that's that's just almost too much for me to process, Matthew.

  288. But this massive match is exactly what Daniel chapter eight tells us. Let me

  289. jump over there and I'll read a few verses for us, starting in verse

  290. nine, this nice little stanz that God leaves us here. Out of one

  291. of them came forth a rather small horn, which grew exceedingly great towards the

  292. south, towards the east, and towards the beautiful land. It grew up

  293. to the host of heaven and cast some of the host and some of the

  294. stars to fall to the earth, and it trampled them down. It even

  295. magnified itself to be equal with the commander of the Host, and it removed

  296. the regular sacrifice from him, and the place of his sanctuary was thrown down.

  297. And an account of transgression, the Host will be given over to the

  298. Horn, along with the regular sacrifice, and it will fling truth to the

  299. ground and perform its will and prosper. Then I heard a holy one speaking,

  300. and another one holy. Another holy one said to that particular one who

  301. was speaking, how long will the vision about the regular sacrifice apply while the

  302. transgression causes horror, so as to allow both the Holy Place and the Host

  303. to be trampled? He said to me, for two three hundred evenings and

  304. mornings. Then the Holy Place will be properly restored. Man, yep,

  305. I know exactly what he was saying. Amen, Amen, that that's that's

  306. uh. The boy that matches up right along with what you and Leonard have

  307. been talking about, Matthew in the last few weeks. Yes, yes,

  308. yes, it does. I think I you know, I think I'll just

  309. throw everybody a curveball right now, ladies and gentlemen, for this very reason,

  310. and believe me. I could give you information overload, because I'm setting

  311. here. I could branch out three different ways, just three different three different

  312. books from just what Rose just read from. But I'm gonna take you somewhere

  313. else, because where did the magi prophecy come from? When I say that

  314. earlier? There's no prophecy about the magic? Oh, yes there is,

  315. Yes there is. Where's the prophecy about the Christ Star? I mean you

  316. can call it many things. You can call the Star of Bethlehem, whatever

  317. you want to say. Where did it come from? Because it came from

  318. Baylam, Yes it did. Don't lie, amen, Yes it did.

  319. It came straight from numbers. Chapter twenty four, verse seventeen. I see

  320. him, but not now, I shall behold him, not nine. There

  321. shall come a star out of Jacob, and a scepter shower aze out of

  322. Israel, and shall smite the corners of Muwab, and destroy all the children

  323. of Seth, and Edom shall be a possession. I think I'll just stop

  324. right there, ladies and gentlemen. If you didn't realize that, you're supposed

  325. to put two and two together, And that's why Batim's name comes up.

  326. I already said it once it comes up in Revelation. I didn't give you

  327. the chapter and verse. But this is why, ladies and gentlemen, this

  328. is why this Assyrian false prophet is going to take the authority from an angel.

  329. That's what Daniel just said. You and I think that's crazy. Well,

  330. what are you talking about? While nerves? Would the angels make a

  331. pact with the man? Why would they do that? Let me ask you

  332. something. You do know what happens once the devil takes his tail and swipes

  333. one third of them out of heaven, don't you? You do know what

  334. happens, right, because it's chronicled in Jeremiah chapter eight. Uh oh,

  335. information overload? How was I back to you? All right? Matthew?

  336. Well, yeah, we're getting there to Revelation chapter twelve right that that's where

  337. this is taking us. So we're seeing what's going to transpire during these these

  338. birth pangs, right during these twenty three hundred evenings and mornings that God has

  339. told us about before the abomination of desolation is set up in the Holy Place,

  340. which which you and Leonard are talking about and discussing and giving us good

  341. info on what that actually is. So I'll leave that to you guys to

  342. discuss further. But I want to take us, Matthew, back to the

  343. Old Testament in Second Samuel, chapter eight, and I'm just going to read

  344. the first two verses for us now. After this, it came about that

  345. David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and David took control of the Chief

  346. city from the hand of the Philistines. He defeated Moab and measured them with

  347. the line, making them lie down on the ground, and he measured two

  348. lines to put to death and one full line to keep alive. And the

  349. Moabites became servants to David, bringing tribute. So how am I supposed to

  350. process that, Matthew? If I know Moab is talking about the family of

  351. God is talking about the angels, what in the world did God just tell

  352. me? And that and that set of that set of verses. Man,

  353. oh man, he just blew the top of your head right off, didn't

  354. he? Yes, he did. He just literally blew the top of your

  355. head clean off. He just just blew it clean off. So so you

  356. read this after you had been reading Deuteronomy, Yes, So when you've seen

  357. it, it really caught you sideways. Yes, it did, absolutely,

  358. it really got you sideways, and it would and it would it would me

  359. because well it says, it says a very strange thing, doesn't it.

  360. Why did David do this? Where did it come from? Let's lead this

  361. out of the English Standard version. And he defeated moab and measured them with

  362. a line, making them lie down on the ground. Two lines key measured

  363. to be put to death and one full line to be spared. And the

  364. Moabikes become the servants of David and brought tribute ladies and gentlemen. He just

  365. said one third. I mean you did catch that, right, Jose Amen?

  366. Amen, he just said one third, And ladies and gentlemen, I'm

  367. sorry, but now I am forced to go to Jeremiah chapter eight. That's

  368. where I'm going to go. So, Hose you need to say what you're

  369. going to say right now? Nope, nope, we can go over to

  370. Jeremiah. All right, very good, Let's head over there right now,

  371. ladies and gentlemen, Jeremiah chapter eight. I will be reading it out of

  372. the New American Standard Bible, and it's going to catch you by surprise.

  373. It's going to be hard for you. To process what's going on, what's

  374. happening here at that time, declares the Lord. The bones of the kings

  375. of Judah, the bones of its officials, the bones of the priest,

  376. the bones of the prophets, the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, shall

  377. be brought out of their tombs, and they shall be spread before the Sun

  378. and the moon and all the host of Heaven which they have loved and served,

  379. which they have gone after, and which they have sought and worshiped.

  380. And they shall not be gathered or buried. They shall be as dumb on

  381. the surface of the ground. Death shall be preferred to life by all the

  382. remnant that remains of this evil family in all the places where I've driven them,

  383. declares the Lord of Host. Ladies and gentlemen, this is what's going

  384. to happen when the host of Heaven come down. Now take note, ladies

  385. and gentlemen, there are some things you need to know mechanically speaking. Here.

  386. This can't be all talking about Judah, can it? Because who are

  387. the priests Levitt The priests were from Levi. The prophets could be from any

  388. tribe, right hose. Yes, So, ladies and gentlemen, you need

  389. to know that this is extremely important. You figure this out. But this

  390. is exactly what they're going to do. And they come down here for some

  391. rhyme, for some reason. What happened to the Lord Jesus Christ starting on

  392. ash Wednesday? Uh oh, I just tripped everybody up. What What's ash

  393. Wednesday? What are you talking about? Most Christians don't even know what ash

  394. Wednesday is. Most people don't know what ash Wednesday. You need to know

  395. that this is a Christian holiday. And I'm sorry, it's just like Easter.

  396. Hose, why do they call Easter Easter? It is the passover of

  397. the Lord Jesus Christ. Right, amen? So why do they call it

  398. Easter? Who made that up? I mean, I'm still grasping for that

  399. answer. So we made up ash Wednesday. Why would you call something dash

  400. Wednesday? Because what ash Wednesday is? It begins the forty days of testing

  401. of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now I said that, it just sucks.

  402. It just shocked to the psyche. What's that got to do with this?

  403. Ladies and gentlemen, have you forgotten the temptation of the Lord Jesus Christ?

  404. Because the devil is going to do it again. I mean I say that

  405. most people are like, what are you talking about? So, Jose,

  406. why don't you tell us? What are some of the things that the devil

  407. asked Jesus. Well, he specifically asked them to turn the stones into bread

  408. so he could eat. He told him to jump from the top so that

  409. the angels could catch him. Those are the two that come right to my

  410. head. Matthew, Ah, yes, you know you said some good ones,

  411. right right, Let's go to the one you didn't say. Yep.

  412. Now, look, I don't know why all of you think that the devil

  413. doesn't have the power to do this. He's going to do this again,

  414. and the Assyrian false prophet is going to accept the charge. He will do

  415. everything the devil charges him to do. Jesus said to him again, it

  416. is written you shall not put the Lord your God to the test. Again,

  417. the devil took him up on a high mountain and showed him all the

  418. kingdoms of the world and their glory, And he said to him, all

  419. these I will give you if you will fall down and worship me. Then

  420. Jesus said to him, be gone, Satan, for it is written you

  421. shall worship the Lord your God and serve him. Only the devil left him.

  422. And don't forget the last part. Was only after this part that the

  423. angels came and were ministering to him. I don't understand why you don't think

  424. the devil could do this at any point in time. He is the prince

  425. of this world, Aman jose Amen, Matthew, yep. So we're lucky

  426. he didn't do this with Caesar, right, because he could have. Right,

  427. he could have done this to Napoleon right. Yes, The point is

  428. he's never did it again, that there's coming a point in the future when

  429. the devil hisself is going to do this, and he's going to offer He's

  430. going to ask the Assyrian false prophet these same exact things, and when he

  431. gets to this one, he's going to do it. And if you didn't

  432. know that, then you have really been well. How can I put that?

  433. Your clergy has utterly failed you if you didn't know that. But for

  434. some reason in today's church, I don't know why they think the devil don't

  435. have this power. I mean, because the Bible plainly states on more than

  436. one occasion, yes, he is the prince of this world, and he

  437. offered all the kingdoms on the planet to the Lord Jesus Christ. And the

  438. Lord Jesus Christ did not call him a liar, did he, Jose,

  439. No, he didn't. Matthew, this is going to happen. The prophecy

  440. that Jose read from from Daniel, it is going to come true. You

  441. may not understand it. And that's so. I mean, for example,

  442. if my semen count is too low, I can go to a place here

  443. in the United States and I can order a course of peptides that will increase

  444. my semen count. Yes I can't, Yes, I can. You have

  445. no idea the power that's coming down the barrel. There is coming a person

  446. that in do everything that the devil just said. Does that scare you?

  447. Maybe I should go back and read it again, because this is the sequence.

  448. The devil is methodical. He's not like you, ladies and gentlemen.

  449. The reason information overload. How much time we got left. I think I

  450. have enough time. You need to understand this, ladies and gentlemen. Let's

  451. just try the first one. And the tempter came and said to him,

  452. if you are the son of God, command these stones to become loaves of

  453. bread. But Jesus answered it is written, men share not lead by bread

  454. alone, but every word that comes from the mouth of God. Ladies and

  455. gentlemen. The only problem with the devil is he's he don't have an imagination.

  456. I hope you understand. That's what separates us from him. He is

  457. not made in God's image, and he's going to ask the same questions in

  458. the same order. Only there's coming a one in the future that can do

  459. this and to this one will the angels now Jose back to you, Well,

  460. Matthew, I just want to point out we're talking about the temptation of

  461. Jesus and then the temptation of the false prophet that's coming. This same temptation

  462. was given to Bayleem by Bailik, the king of Moab. Baileck told him

  463. to ask whatever you want and I'll give it to you, and said I

  464. could even ask for Bayleem's house full of silver and gold and he would give

  465. it to me, which is exactly what what Satan tempted Jesus with there and

  466. what he's gonna what he's going to offer the false prophet, Matthew, exact

  467. mundo. So it's all it all lines up, you know, it's there's

  468. no there's no contradiction in God's word, Matthew, what what He's been telling

  469. us through throughout this whole, this whole little study we're doing here. So

  470. going back to Second Samuel chapter eight, that one third that we were talking

  471. about, Matthew, of course, that takes us to Revelation chapter twelve,

  472. where we're told the final dividing of Moab. Here and I'll read in verse

  473. three, Then another sign appeared in heaven, and behold a great red dragon,

  474. having seven heads and ten horns, And on his heads were seven diadems.

  475. And his tail swept away a third of the stars of heaven and threw

  476. them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about

  477. to give birth, so that when she gave birth, he might devour her

  478. child. And I'll jump down to verse seven. And there was war in

  479. heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. The dragon and

  480. his angels waged war, and they were not strong enough, and there was

  481. no longer a place found for them in heaven. And the great dragon was

  482. thrown down. The serpent of old, who is called the devil and Satan,

  483. who deceives the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth and

  484. as angels were thrown down with them. So, boy, that just sounds

  485. exactly like what we just read in Second Simul chapter eight, Matthew, and

  486. it's very apropos you know, boy, how many different directions. I mean,

  487. you talk about information information overload. I could just just unload right now,

  488. and I just can't do that. It's just it's not a beautiful thing

  489. to do, right, I mean, if you overwhelm the bride, she

  490. well, she doesn't learn anything, does she, right, you know,

  491. especially concerning my wife in this way, my wife will have to tell me

  492. we have to stop. I can't take any more information because I'll reach a

  493. point that to my wife, she learns a certain way and it's just scrambled

  494. everything, so scramble. She's the type of person that she has to learn

  495. it and then she has to apply it. She has to translate that into

  496. the real world. So she's one of those people that work really well with

  497. visual aids. Right, So you know this really really drives And of course

  498. you can imagine my children, right, I mean even Aaron, right,

  499. I mean you we you know you you would agree that that Aarin is how

  500. would we put that when it comes to God word to God's word, Aaron

  501. is not your average Joe. Correct, correct, yes, And I can

  502. give him information overload, and it's it's not good. I mean he laughs

  503. about it when he was eight years old. Just a matter of fact,

  504. when he was here the other day, he came by for supper and him

  505. and his mother was laughing about it because they used to do it to him

  506. all the time and he didn't know what to do at that time. So

  507. it's not a beautiful thing. But there's so much we could we could relay

  508. here right now, and so much that you need to understand that that that

  509. you do need to know this time is coming and you're going to be here.

  510. That that's the most important thing for you to know. These twenty three

  511. hundred days are coming. They are coming, and you know, I could

  512. say things that would really upset people. I mean, we could go back

  513. to that place in Daniel where jose was reading from and it's it's not you

  514. know, it's it's scary what's said. It really is and I know it

  515. is. Let's let's talk about this, okay. One verse he shall speak

  516. words against the most high, and shall wear out the Saints of the Most

  517. High, and shall think to change the times and the law, and they

  518. shall be given into his hand for a time times and half a time.

  519. You know, those are hard words lists keep reading, shall we? Okay?

  520. So if this is true, what happens after these twenty three hundred days?

  521. But the court shall sit in judgment. Now this is the very next

  522. verse. But the court shall sit in judgment, and his dominion shall be

  523. taken away to be consumed and destroyed to the end. And the kingdom and

  524. the dominion and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole shall be given to

  525. the people of the Saints of the Most High, and his kingdom shall be

  526. an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. You need

  527. to understand why these three verses are in disorder. You need to understand why

  528. they're here. There's going to be twenty three hundred days where we're going to

  529. be persecuted, and then we are taken to a place prepared. And guess

  530. what, He does not have dominion over one place in all of creation.

  531. That's the place that God has prepared for you. So during this bad time

  532. of three of time's time and a halftime. You're in that special place.

  533. This is exactly what Revelation chapter seven says. That's what it says. That's

  534. what it means. So look, during the three and a half years of

  535. tribulation, he does not have dominion over the whole planet. And at the

  536. end of that tribulation, of course, is the return and perusia of the

  537. Lord Jesus Christ. End of story. But if you didn't know why these

  538. verses, these three verses are here in this order, is because you didn't

  539. know the timeline. Well, that's why God made the promise to Abraham in

  540. the first place. You do realize that you are a product of the parent

  541. prophecy. That's why everything that's happened. That's why the Lord Jesus Christ stepped

  542. down from heaven. That's why the Lord Jesus Christ took upon his shoulders to

  543. be the Son of God. That's why when that was over, he ascended

  544. and took on the road of being God the Son that that that's why that

  545. that's why all this has happened. So if your clergy has failed, you

  546. miserable and you didn't know all these things, you need to get excited because

  547. that's why he wrote it. That's that's why he wrote it. I was,

  548. yeah, man Athe, I think that's That's what I'm taking away from

  549. this study, understanding what God means when he's talking about in Ephesians three,

  550. the family of heaven and the families of Earth, and what that means in

  551. relation to his family, to God's family, those that his his errors,

  552. those that are gonna be with his son. Right, Abraham, as much

  553. as he loved Ishmael, as much as he loved Eliezer, his servant,

  554. he loved the sons of Katura, as much as he gave all those all

  555. of his sons, they didn't get the promise. Matthew, the child's promise

  556. came from Sarah, because that's what God promised him and that parent prophecy,

  557. and and that's what we need to hold onto. We will we are in

  558. Egypt like Abraham was. We will go through tribulations like Abraham did. We

  559. will go through all those birth payings that his children had to endure in Egypt

  560. before God took them to the Promised Land. That's we're told that's going to

  561. happen. But because we are the children of that promise, because we are

  562. of the family of God. He's given us those promises, and he's going

  563. to see that. He's going to be faithful Matthew. And that's what we

  564. need to remember during these twenty three hundred days. Amen. Amen, I

  565. wonder if I've got enough time to read a riddle? I do? I

  566. do have enough time to read the riddle? Well, it's the gentlemen,

  567. a good place to start for the rhyme and the reason behind why the devil

  568. would do this with with a man? Why would he turn over his authority

  569. to a man? Why would he do that? He knows something that you

  570. don't. When it was told to Jotham, he went and stood on the

  571. top of Mount Gerzine and cried aloud and said to them, listen to me,

  572. you leaders of shock them, God may listen to you. The trees

  573. once went out to anoint a king over them, and they said to the

  574. olive tree, rain over us. But the olive tree said to him,

  575. shall I leave by abundance by which gods and men are honored? And go

  576. hold sway over the trees? And the tree said to the fig tree,

  577. you come and rain over us. But the fig tree said to them,

  578. shall I leave my sweetness and my good fruit, and go hold sway over

  579. the trees. And the tree said to the vine, you come and reign

  580. over us. But the vine said to them, shall I leave my wine

  581. that cheers God and men, and go hold sway over the trees. Then

  582. all the trees said to the bramble, you come and rain over us.

  583. And the bramble said to the trees, if in good faith you are anointing

  584. me king over you, then come and take refuge in my shade. But

  585. if not, let fire come out from the bramble and devour the cedars of

  586. Lebanon. You need to start yourself a self edifying Bible study right there.

  587. I'll even help you a little bit. The cedars of Lebanon and the bulls

  588. of Bashan are not talking about the sons of men. Just so you know,

  589. we the body of Christ who are alive and remain at the coming of

  590. our Lord and Jesus Christ, our body, mind and spirits will be preserved

  591. unto that coming by the God of Peace. That's what's going to happen.

  592. That's exactly what the Bible, God's Holy Word says. In one Thessalonians chapter

  593. five, It comes out and tells you that the tribulation will start with the

  594. day of the Lord, and it says that God himself will keep your body,

  595. mind, and spirit until the Perugia of Christ. And that's exactly what

  596. he's going to do. That's why Revelation chapter seven says that during this time

  597. God stretches his tabernacle over for you, and once he does, it's a

  598. done deal. You might as well already be entered into the Kingdom of Heaven,

  599. but you have to wait for time's time and a halftime. You need

  600. to know this. You need to prepare yourself for what's coming, because there's

  601. coming a time of great persecution, but it comes with very good news.

  602. God never said that the four writers of Wrath could touch you. That's not

  603. what he said. Ladies and gentlemen. Why do you think that the people

  604. of the earth is going to rise up and persecute the woman, Well,

  605. because they're not getting sick. Look, ladies and gentlemen, let's go back

  606. to the days of Elijah. You need to be brought up to speed that

  607. the there apath widow, she was actually living in the kingdom of Jezebel's dad.

  608. That's right, Elijah escaped Jezebel by going to Jezebel's home kingdom and staying

  609. there. And that whole entire time the zeropath woman, famine couldn't touch her.

  610. Right, jose right, Matthew, all the days of Elijah, which

  611. the New Testament says twice, it says twice that the days of Elijah were

  612. exactly three years and six months. During that time, the arapath woman had

  613. two jars, one had flour, one had oil. They never emptied,

  614. jose Am, I telling the truth. Yes you are, Matthew. Okay,

  615. So during this time was it physically possible for even men of the zeropath

  616. widow's household to die? No, No, ladies and gentlemen, I'm not

  617. lying to you. Did not the aeropath widow Sundye, ladies and gentlemen,

  618. you don't have to worry about the four writers of wrath. The only thing

  619. that's going to happen to you is because everybody's going to get jealous that you're

  620. not sick and hungry. Look, I'm aware that the propaganda has probably been

  621. overwhelming in your life. There's so much media that you can get that says

  622. otherwise. You can get documentaries you can get. You can get History Channel

  623. documentaries, you can get audios, you can get even movies out of Hollywood

  624. that have just they've just drilled it into your head. Cure entertainment. It's

  625. too late in the game. You need to reject all that entertainment and you

  626. need to You need to grip edification with both hands. You Look, I

  627. could tell you things that would blow your mind. Look, if you if

  628. you don't have the money to get a strong concordance, that's key to a

  629. translation. You let Jose and I know, and as surely as the Lord

  630. lives, I shall put one in your hands. Mose, you're closing comments,

  631. No, Matthew, I just I just wanted to expound a little bit

  632. on what we've discussed before about Moab and Ammon. I wanted to show how

  633. God talks about mob in the Bible and how it matches up prophetically with what

  634. He tells us is going to happen. And yeah, just to remind everyone

  635. that you are in the assembly, you are in the ecclesia, and God

  636. has given that group certain promises and he will be faithful in those promises.

  637. Amen, Amen, ladies, and gentlemen. God sets on the throne,

  638. and he can do everything he said. No one can stop him, not

  639. even the devil himself. Jose, praise out of here, please, Dear

  640. heavenly Father, whom we get thanks and praise continuously, we thank you for

  641. allowing us to gather together as an ecclesia, as your body. We thank

  642. you once again for showing us your word for as many times as we read

  643. it, not paying attention, not studying it, not looking for insight,

  644. not looking for what you're asking us, you're telling us to do for your

  645. body, for your children. I thank you that tonight you've opened our ears,

  646. opened our eyes, and opened our hearts to what you've truly given us

  647. in your word and what you truly want us to know, and reminding us

  648. what it means to be in your ecclesia, what it means to be in

  649. your family, what it means to be in your body. That we are

  650. to act like your son, that we are to provide for widows and orphans,

  651. that we are to provide for the needy, We are to heal each

  652. other and be comforters to each other. And I just asked that you continually

  653. remind us as we go about our days. That that's what we are supposed

  654. to be doing while we are still able, while we are waiting for your

  655. great day and waiting for the return of your son. And we ask all

  656. this in the name of your Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

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

  658. God bless, God speed. Thank you for listening to Marinath the Ministries with
