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 now Reduction Draweth
-
Nigh. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the program. We are
-
your host Horey and Matthew. Tonight's well, we've got another ground breaking introduction
-
we're going to do tonight. This time it's an introduction to the Parent Prophecy.
-
Boy, so much to cover this topic is so it's so and a
-
trading to everything that Christians are, everything that Christians are hoping for, and
-
everything that's actually going to happen to them is all incorporated right here in the
-
Parent prophecy. This is what, where, when, why, everything that
-
has happened and that is going to happen takes place. It's because of the
-
parent prophecy. So with that in mind, hose you want to start out
-
with prayer? Would you like me to no? Can you start off?
-
Matthew? Sure? I sure can't. You're heavenly Father whom we serve through
-
the Lord Jesus Christ, your son, Father and our Savior. We ask
-
you to fill us with your Holy spirit so that we might be crazy and
-
acceptable in your side to Lord, our Rock and our redeemer. And Lord,
-
thank you so much time that thank you so much for this time that
-
you've afforded Hose and I to spend with your children in and to attempt to
-
edify them in a way proper to the Kingdom. So, dear Lord,
-
please I pray that you expend, extend your grace and mercy to everyone who's
-
going to partake here in the live we're in the archive, the video or
-
the audio. Please bless them, Lord, and please show them what is
-
to come. And Jose and I humbly ask that you use our voices to
-
do so in Christ and name. We pray, Amen and Amen Amen.
-
All right, Jose, what's your opening comments about the parent Prophecy? Well,
-
Matthew, I think a lot of times, as Christians we kind of
-
jumped to the Book of Revelation and try to see where we fit in that
-
book? Right? What is that telling us as Christians? Who are we?
-
Which verses relate to us? Which verses should we pay attention to,
-
Which verses are talking about the beasts, and which verses are talking about Christians,
-
and you know, are are we going to heaven or or are we
-
going to the wilderness? What what's going on there? And that that causes
-
a lot of confusion because we don't as Christians, we forget that we are
-
the Bride. That's who we are, and that's who we should be looking
-
at when we do a first read through in the Book of Revelation, Right,
-
where's the Bride? Because that's that should be our main focus. But
-
there are other other entities or other individuals that are discussed in the Book of
-
Revelation that pertain to the Kingdom of God, the kingdom of Heaven, and
-
to how that order is going to be set up. And so we can
-
get confusing, Matthew, if you haven't studied the original language, if you
-
haven't gone through and read all the books of the Old Testament, Right,
-
okay, are we are we ruling and writing with Christ or are we uh,
-
you know, being taken to the secret place and and just hanging out?
-
Are we you know, what what's going on here with the Bride?
-
What what is our role? And so sometimes we get a little confused because
-
we don't understand the parent prophecy of what God told Abraham from the beginning,
-
what he told him concerning his children, when when he first gave the parent
-
prophecy, and concerning the children of the promise. So there's I guess there's
-
just a lot of confusion in that area, Matthew, and a lot of
-
room for for people to come in and take advantage when people don't understand those
-
those individuals and how they're addressed in prophecy. Boy, that's you probably stated
-
a lot right here in scott People confused because when you talk to most Christians,
-
they do not have a beckoning of what you just said of why it
-
cannot be the case that after the Lord Jesus Christ marries us, that is
-
to say, after the marriage supper of the Lamb, very detailed things are
-
spoken to us that he will wipe every tear from our eyes. We want
-
to have no more worries, we want to have no more cares. That's
-
the exact opposite of the reigning and ruling part. That's exactly the opposite,
-
because that is nothing but worrying, that is nothing but stress. So you
-
you you often find these two camps that some Christians think that no, you
-
know, we're going to be in an eternal state of bliss. And then
-
there's other sex. You'll run into that that these groups they look at it
-
the other way, and that we're going to be running the show and we're
-
going to be in charge of everything, right, right, right, So
-
these two groups are diametrically opposed. And what amazes me is they don't realize
-
that we are somewhere in between. We are absolutely somewhere in between, right,
-
And we have to realize that the whole reason why we're Christians is because
-
of the parent prophecy. It is because of the prophecy and the promise made
-
to Abraham. The New Testament screams this, Jose. It screams it that
-
we are the children of the promise. It streams that we are Abraham's descendants.
-
That's what it states. So you would think that when Christians read over
-
those New Testament passages that talks that way and causes you know, the Greek
-
states, the techno epigelia, the children of the Promise. You think it
-
would enter the reminded of what promise are you talking about? Right? That's
-
talking about the parent prophecy, where all prophecies come. Why there is a
-
Christian church, why christ even came. This is all accredited to the promise
-
that God made to Abraham. This is where it all comes from. This
-
is the event horizon for it. Everything that is, was, and shall
-
be concerning christ Church is nothing but the fulfillment of the promise made to Abraham.
-
And it's not until you have a reckoning of that you understand what's going
-
on that many other things will fall into place. Now, one of the
-
best places that we can oh is the Book of Revelation to explain these things
-
to us. There's no doubt about it. Let's take a precursorary look at
-
the parent prophecy, which it's basically if you listen to this one single verse,
-
you're going to get it. This is what God said to Abraham.
-
He said in just this chapter twenty two, verse seventeen. Indeed, I
-
will greatly bless you, and I will want apply your seed as the stars
-
of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the sea shore,
-
and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies. Oh my goodness,
-
this one verse right here is literally Revelation chapter twelve, the entire seventeen verses,
-
That's what it is. Let me say that again, Revelation chapter twelve
-
is seventeen verses, and this is all coming from Genesis chapter two, verse
-
seventeen, and it's going to lay it out here pretty simply, and we're
-
going to have to look over that. But Jose, what's your your thoughts
-
about what's the go to scripture with the parent prophecy because there are many times
-
that it is mentioned, right, Yeah, No, this is the go
-
to scripture, Matthew, because this is where God lays all out there and
-
he gives us some key pointers to look for when he gave this parent prophecy.
-
And again, this is Genesis twenty two where Abraham is going to offer
-
up Isaac, where God told him to offer up Isac and Abraham was obedient
-
and got everything prepared, but at the last minute, the Angel of the
-
Lord came down and stopped him, and God provided a ram to sacrifice instead
-
of sacrificing Isaac as a burnt offering. So that's the context of where this
-
parent prophecy comes from. And because the Abraham was willing to do so,
-
that's where God gave this prophecy. But Matthew, again a couple of key
-
pointers that God gives us here in that parent prophecy. The first one I'm
-
going to go to is where he talks about the sound of the seashore,
-
and that takes us directly to Revelation chapter thirteen, the infamous sixty sixty sixth
-
chapter right, and the chapter starts out saying that the dragons stood on the
-
sand of the seashore. So we should automatically connect those two that somehow Revelation
-
thirteen is referencing the parent prophecy, and we have to connect the dots and
-
understand what God's trying to tell us there. In Revelation thirteen, you have
-
those that take the mark of the beast, and you have those that refuse
-
to and hold to the law, to the testimony, and as a result,
-
they lose their head. Right, And so we know if we continue
-
reading, we go from Revelation thirteen and then we hit upon the fifth seal
-
where the martyrs are under the altar, and then we eventually ended up in
-
Revelation chapter twenty. You know, this is stuff that we've talked about recently
-
in a couple of these Sunday shows and also on our Hebrews broadcast that we've
-
been doing. And Revelation twenty tells us that those that did not take the
-
mark of the beast and those that held the law of the testimony of Jesus
-
Christ and God, that they are resurrected and they rule and reign with Christ
-
for a thousand years. Okay, So that's they're essentially because they suffered through
-
that, because they had to do that, because they had those tears and
-
those troubles, they had to go through the tribulation. That's why they rewarded
-
with that position. But we have to consider why they had to go through
-
the tribulation. And is this talking about the bride here? Is this the
-
bride that has to endure this tribulation or is this a certain part of the
-
children of Abraham that had to endure this situation. Now again that these are
-
just pointers. We could dig into all this, you know, and take
-
one hundred hours just each on each each subject here. But before we do
-
that, let me go to the first part of the prophecy, which is
-
the stars of heaven. Okay, so that's not the first time God told
-
Abraham about the stars of heaven, right, and I got here in then
-
this is fifteen details. He takes it Abraham outside the tent, and he
-
says, look up at the stars, and if you count them, this
-
is how your seed shall be. Okay. So he gave he gave Abraham
-
a glimpse of that prophecy in Genesis fifteen. And so I think Abraham understood
-
what God was trying to say there, Matthew. I think he understood where
-
he was pointing Abraham because in Genesis seventeen, I'm sorry, in Genesis twenty
-
one, one chapter before Genesis twenty two, right, Abraham made a great
-
feast on the day that is an Isaac was weaned. So he knew that
-
he was not going to have to offer up his first born to the Lord
-
to fulfill that that part of the prophecy. Okay. Now, why do
-
we say that those that are two years in under are referred to as the
-
stars of heaven? That this part of the parent prophecy. Okay. And
-
that's that's a little trickier because God tells us about it, Matthew, But
-
he doesn't. He doesn't come out straightforward and give all the details. It
-
takes a lot of studying. It takes the course believing, believing the Bible,
-
believing what God says. Okay, because it's It doesn't come out and
-
say it, but he repeats himself over and over what he's going to do
-
with those with those children two years and under. And that takes us also
-
into the Book of Revelation. So that's that we can start there, Matthew.
-
So I'll take you. I'll take your comments on that. You know,
-
boy, you you boy, you just it's so hard, the process,
-
so much information. But a little back to Genesis chapter twenty two.
-
So the one that's missing here is of course us, right, you have
-
Abraham is taking Isaac to go sacrifice and correct, yes, we're Sarah.
-
Amen. Sarah's the most important one, right right, I mean you're getting
-
ready to sacrifice not only her firstborn, to her only son. So it
-
amazes me that people just take that out of out of context here. Ose
-
do you think that that Sarah will have allowed this to happen? Oh no,
-
Matthew, No. As a matter of fact, I think he didn't
-
even tell the servants, right. He just told the servants to hang out
-
down here at the bottom of the hill. Me and my son are going
-
up there. That's right. He was smart enough to not tell anybody because
-
nobody would do it. Nobody would have let him do it, so right,
-
this is the thing you need to see that really here in this passage,
-
the most important one the bride. She's not mentioned. And I've got
-
to say this again, ladies and gentlemen. You can have a child of
-
the promise all you want to, but that child of the promise is a
-
dead issue until it finds a spouse. Until that promised child gets married and
-
bears children, it's a dead issue. So take note, this is all
-
about the bride. It's not coming out and saying it, but it is
-
obviously all about the bride because Sarah would have never allowed this, and of
-
course, and of course the servants would have taken her side. Yes they
-
would have. There's just no doubt about that. So when you take deep
-
breath and realize the intricacies that's going on here, everything is being stated,
-
but there's a whole lot more being said with what's not being stated. And
-
it's not until you you realize that, and I appreciate that you you begin
-
the event horizon for this as the children being the stars of heaven. Its
-
event horizons is in Genesis chapter fifteen, But that's not the event horizon for
-
the parent prophecy. It's in chapter thirteen, verse sixteen. Right, Okay,
-
this is the event horizon for the parent prophecy. He gives it to
-
you piecemeal, piece at a time. Here, this is what's stated.
-
First, I will make your descendants as the dust of the year, so
-
that if anyone can number the dust of the earth, then your descendants will
-
can also be numbered. So this is the first hint of it. Then
-
the second hint was there in Genesis chapter fifteen, verse five. And then
-
everything comes together. That's why I stated the one that I stated Genesis twenty
-
two, verse seventeen. Amen. But if you don't have, if you
-
don't have the backdrop of the situation that who were you? You are the
-
bride in this instance, ladies and gentlemen, you're Sarah and you're going to
-
be Rebecca and you're going to be And this has played out perfectly with what
-
the New Testament states, first the June, then the gentile, because who
-
is the next bride? Of course it was Leah and Rachel. Correct,
-
correct? So you get this, you get this underlying theme all the way
-
through it that you're supposed to know that you're the bride. That's why the
-
New Testament explicitly states that over and over and over that you are the bride
-
of Christ. So this should put your this should put your mind in a
-
proper state to understand all the things that's going to happen. Now, pose
-
do you think we should well, what do you think we should read at
-
this point? Well, let me just let me just give one more part
-
of Genesis twenty one, Matthew before we dive in. Because Genesis twenty one
-
tells us that Isaac is the child of the Promise, that technomic bigalia that
-
we've been talking about, and that occurs in verse twelve, and it says,
-
and God said, unto Abraham, let it not be grievous in nice
-
because of the lad and because of thy bond woman, and all that Sarah
-
has said, unto thee hearkening to her voice. For in Isaac thy seeds
-
shall be called. And that's that shows up I think in Hebrews and Romans
-
where it expounds on that and and but that's where God tells us about the
-
child of the Promise. So God covers all his basis with all of the
-
that the three different types of seed that Abraham is going to have, and
-
so that again that helps us understand once we get to Revelation, what God's
-
who, who the main characters are in Revelation, and who we're looking at
-
when we're reading about the way God is setting up his kingdom and ordering his
-
kingdom. So I just want to point out that that he covers the children
-
of the promise, He covers the children that are going to be as the
-
stars of the heaven, and he covers the children that are going to be
-
as the sand of the seashore. And if we understand those three different groups,
-
then we can see how how everything fits into the picture. How once
-
once a tribulation trip starts, Where's God going to put those innocent babes that
-
haven't sinned, Where's God going to put those faithful Christians that are the bride?
-
And where is God going to put those Christians that we call the knuckleheads,
-
right, the guys that aren't paying attention, the guys that know everything.
-
They've been brought up in the church or they heck, they might even
-
be pastors and shepherds, but they've been right. They've been like the Pharisees
-
and the Sadducees trying to find workarounds to God's law. What's God going to
-
do with those knuckleheads? Are they done for or are they do they have
-
a chance still? And so that's that's how we need to approach understanding what
-
the parent prophecy is all about. Heymen, I absolutely agree and we have
-
to agree that that you mentioned in Revelation chapter pointy and those of the First
-
Resurrection, beyond any shadow of doubt, there can be no mistakes being made
-
here. Obviously that does not pertain to us. Obviously it wasn't because we
-
know upon that first resurrection. We know that that's when we and those who
-
have went on before us, those that have already died, the saints who
-
have died, that's when they and then we are changed in the twinkling of
-
an eye that happens at the first Resurrection. That's what Timothy chapter two states,
-
and that's what First Corinthians chapter fifteen states, right, right, So
-
this group is exclusive that has not taken the mark of the beast. And
-
if that be true, well what about us for our life and remain?
-
You mean, we never face the mark of the beast because something is at
-
play here. Something is obviously at play that relation chapter twenty comes out,
-
and it is very specific that those and only those who refuse the mark of
-
the beast on their hand or on their forehead, and they were beheaded.
-
It is they and they alone who take part in this first resurrection, and
-
it is they and they alone who rule and reign with Christ. It's got
-
nothing to do with those who partook in the changing, i e. The
-
Greeks. That's the alagis muthea, the changing we go through when we are
-
clothing to Christ, once our marriage has been consummated at his appearing. So
-
there's really no Once you lay down that groundwork and explain that to people,
-
everybody will immediately agree with you and say, yeah, I now understand what
-
you're saying. But what does that mean? So those who are alive and
-
remain, they never faced the beast from the abyss, They never faced the
-
false prophet? Why is it that this group had to face the false prophet?
-
More importantly, it amazes me that how everybody just disconnects Revelation chapter seven
-
from Revelation Chapter twenty when it's obvious that, well, actually they never had
-
a choice because they were sealed by God. Once you're sealed by God,
-
even if you wanted to get take the mark of the beast, it would
-
not take to you because you've been stealed, right, correct. So once
-
you point these things out to people in a really elementary way and just lay
-
it out for them, normally they will say, oh, I understand what
-
you're saying. Yeah, that makes perfect sense. From that stepping stone right
-
there, we could go to Revelation chapter twelve and see exactly who we are.
-
Yep, and we're only one third of that equation. Jose, correct,
-
And Revelation chapter twelve comes out and tells you who it is that Satan
-
and the beast from the Abyss makes war with That's how the chapter finishes,
-
and it makes clear differentiation between that group and the Christians. It makes clear
-
differentiation between these groups. And take no, there are three groups in Revelation
-
chapter twelve. There's three groups. We the Bride of Christ is only one
-
of them. We're only one of them. And there's three groups mentioned there,
-
and it's plain to the text to see. So, Jose, are
-
you wanting to read some of the parent prophecy or where do we go from
-
here? Let's read Revelation twelve. Matthew, I think that's gonna that's gonna
-
show us. It's gonna show us what the parent prophecy's talking about. It's
-
going to really be distinctive about the two different children that are being discussed here.
-
What the role of the woman is the bride? Well, she's the
-
woman at this point, she's not the bride yet, So yeah, Revelation
-
twelve would be a good place to start. All right, Well, I
-
think I'll go ahead and take off reading it, so prepare your comments as
-
as I read. So, ladies, Gentleness is from the New American Standard
-
Bible ninety five update. A great sign appeared in heaven a woman clothed with
-
the sun and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown
-
of twelve stars. And she was with child, and she cried out,
-
being in labor and in pain to give birth. I'm gonna pause right here,
-
ladies and gentlemen, you need to write this down really quick. Write
-
down Isaiah chapter twenty six. Write it down, Isaiah chapter twenty six,
-
verse three. Then another sign appeared in heaven, and behold a great red
-
dragon, having seven heads and ten of warns. On his heads were seven
-
diadems, and his tail swept away a third of the stars of heaven and
-
threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who's about
-
to give birth, so that when she gave birth, he might devour her
-
child. I'm gonna pause here just for a second to give commentary. The
-
Bible is replete saying that Christians their inheritance is heavenly. It is et bi
-
aranos above the heavens. Right, Jose, Yes, we have studied this
-
before in New Testament chapters. You can go back and get it. This
-
is what is being talked about here, okay. Verse five, And she
-
gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all
-
the nations with a rod of iron. And her child was caught up to
-
God and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where
-
she had a place prepared by God, so that there she would be nurshed
-
for one thy two hundred and sixty days. And there was war in heaven,
-
Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. And the dragon and
-
his angels waged war, and they were not strong enough, and there was
-
no longer a place found for them in heaven. And the great Dragon was
-
thrown down the serpent of old, who was called the devil and Satan,
-
who deceives the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and
-
his angels were thrown down with him. Then I heard a loud voice in
-
heaven saying, now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God
-
and the authority of his Christ has come. For the accuser of our brethren
-
has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night.
-
And they overcame him because the blood of the Lamb, and because of
-
the word of their testimony. And they did not love their life even when
-
faced with death. For this reason, rejoice, old heavens, and you
-
who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the
-
devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has
-
only a short time. And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down
-
to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.
-
But the two wings of a great eagle were given to the woman so
-
that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished
-
for a time and times and half a time from the presence of the serpent,
-
and the serpent poured out water like a river out of his mouth after
-
the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away in the
-
flood. But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth
-
and drank up the river which the dragon had poured out of its mouth.
-
So the dragon was arranged with the woman and went off to make war with
-
the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to
-
the testimony of Jesus. Once you realize you are the woman, there is
-
this male child, this special one, and then obviously verse seventeen makes it
-
clear these are the ones whom the beast is going to be had that will
-
be resurrected upon the first resurrection. We are the woman, and you can
-
plainly read to this text that the woman is protected and he cannot engage the
-
woman once she takes part in what the Bible refers to as Operation Eagles Wings.
-
Once that happens, Satan cannot directly assault her. Jose your thoughts well.
-
Obviously, after Revelation twelve follows Revelation twelve thirteen where it talks about the
-
mark of the beast, and so there's a lot of Christians today, Matthew,
-
that believe that we're gonna have to resist the mark of the Beast,
-
that we're gonna have to endure that. But like you pointed out clearly here,
-
if you're the woman, in other words, if you're that faithful Christian,
-
Bible believing, gospel preaching, daily prayer Christian, you're gonna be the
-
woman and you're gonna be taken to that place and protect it. Okay,
-
there's two other groups here that have different destinations, but I just wanted to
-
point that out quickly, Matthew, that the woman's not gonna have to endure
-
those things. The woman's gonna have to endure the birth pangs, but not
-
the tribulation. Okay. So it's important to keep that in context and to
-
not be fearful of what's coming. We need to understand what's coming. We
-
need to study it and and be ready to share with people what we're what
-
God's showing us. But I just wanted to point that out. So first
-
and foremost, we start off with the with the male child, that's that's
-
taken to Heaven, right, taken to God. Okay. A lot of
-
people associate this with with Jesus when he was taken to heaven. Okay,
-
and that's a picture of what we're seeing here. Okay, but this is
-
part of the parent prophecy. What God told Abraham, and what I'm reminded
-
of is Isaiah sixty six, where God said, Heaven is my throne and
-
earth is my footstool. Okay. So God's telling us that he's got in
-
order that's established from Heaven all the way down to earth. He's got both
-
sides covered. So he's got the stars covered, and he's got the sand
-
of the seashore covered that's on the earth. Right, That's how he's establishing
-
his kingdom. So right here where you see in verse five where it says
-
this male child who is to rule all the nation of the rod and iron,
-
was caught up to God into his throne. Okay, Obviously he's caught
-
up to heaven. He's caught up to the stars, which we're told about
-
in Genesis twenty two what God told Abraham. But I keyed in on that
-
word nations, which in the Greek is Ethnos. Okay. Where I see
-
that pop up in Genesis is in Genesis seventeen, where God tells Abraham,
-
I will make nations of THEE, and kings shall come out of thee.
-
Okay, the king should be kind of obvious from what we've been talking about
-
Revelation twenty. Right, that's what God says. These individuals who do not
-
take the mark, who hold to the commandments of God and to the testimony
-
of Jesus, they're going to lose their heads for not taking the mark and
-
worshiping the beasts, and they're gonna be resurrected part of the First Resurrection,
-
and they will rule in way with Christ for a thousand years. Okay,
-
those are kings, all right, But what are these nations, Matthew,
-
What is God trying to tell us there? Okay, he's clearly making a
-
distinction. He will make nations of thee, and he will make kings of
-
thee. Your seeds shall be as the stars. Your seeds shall be as
-
the sand. Two different distinctions. Okay. So the other place where I
-
found this word ethnos in the Greek was in Deuteronomy, chapter thirty two,
-
verse eight, and I'm going to read it for us here. It says,
-
one of the most I gave the nations for the Ethnos their inheritance when
-
he separated the sons of Man. He set the boundaries of the people according
-
to the number of the sons of Israel. And there's different translations for that
-
verse, but I just read out of the NASB. So basically, Matthew,
-
what what I'm understanding is that what God's talking about here is the princess,
-
those those principalities, those heavenly powers, okay, and and we're told
-
about that. I'm just gonna let me just get this out before you jump
-
ben, I see you ready ready to jump in. But in Revelations chapter
-
twelve, what is what is? He tells us the dragon is going to
-
draw down a third of the stars, okay, And in God's kingdom there
-
is order and and there's a set number. And if a third of the
-
stars come down, he needs replacements for those stars, Matthew, he needs
-
different princes for those ethnos. So that's that's what that's what I'm getting from
-
from studying that word. Do you have at your disposal? The Briton translation
-
of Deuteronary chapter thirty two, verse eight, Yes, I do. Let
-
me jump over there, switching over, and you better read it. You
-
better read it again, because well, just just read it. If you
-
have it. If not, I'll read it. No, I got it
-
right here. When the Most Tied divided the nations, when he separated the
-
sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the nations according to the number
-
of the angels of God. Translation. Well, because the Hebrew says after
-
the sons of Israel, the sab Tuoligent says after the angels of God.
-
Because you need to understand that. Prophetically, this is why he set the
-
twelve tribes around the tabernacle like he did. When he did that, they
-
were reade like the host of heaven. Yes. So, but something's here
-
that you didn't reach out and grab. And I wish you would have,
-
But well, I'm gonna I'm gonna do it right now. He comes out
-
and tells you this. He comes out and tells you this. I don't
-
know why you didn't go Go to the verse in context. Go to Revelation
-
chapter twelve, verse twelve. Ladies, gentle, because it comes right out
-
and tells you get jose, just not point out to you that this male
-
child goes to heaven. Once it's in heaven. What is it called?
-
It says this in verse twelve, for this reason, for what reason,
-
the dragon's been kicked out of heaven and the male child has been taken to
-
heaven. So here, it's not gonna call it a male child. Just
-
let he comes right out and tells you in the same verse, this is
-
the verse. This is what Jose's trying to say. This is true replacement.
-
And he comes right out and tells you for this reason, rejoice,
-
oh heavens, and you who dwell in them. Jose, who did God
-
tell you is dwelling in heaven the melt child? Right? Yes, uh
-
huh, he just told you that. Okay, let's see the other side
-
of the coin. Well to the earth of the sea, because the devil
-
has come down to you. He just told you, ladies and gentlemen,
-
this child has become those who dwell in heaven. The Greek came right out
-
and told you if you had ears that could hear, he come right out
-
and told you this male child just replaced. It just felled the vacuum created
-
by the devil in his host. Yeah, this verse is choppy, all
-
depending on what translation you use. Let's check out the kjav Therefore, rejoice,
-
ye heavens and g that dwell in them, wrote to the inhabitors of
-
the earth. I'm glad it stated that, because you need to look at
-
this in the Greek. It's using two different definitions here, for inhabitors is
-
a different Greek word from those that dwell. Okay, hey, well,
-
let me finish and the sea. For the devil has come down to you,
-
having great wrath because he knows that he has but a short time.
-
So when he's cast down, what does he do? He cannot assault the
-
woman. She's protected. He goes after the rest of her children. So
-
those who dwell in heaven, ladies and gentlemen, he told you who is
-
dwelling in heaven? Now? He just told you that, And this is
-
what triggers the war. This is what triggers the war. It was always
-
about these children that were literally going to be numbered like the stars. Did
-
you not hear, Ladies and gentlemen, had already told you. Let me
-
read verse four again. And his teal drew a third part of the stars
-
of heaven and did cast them to earth. It also stags three or four
-
verses later those stars that he's they're angels. This chapter is absolutely and one
-
hundred percently spoken of and is built around the parent prophecy. Yes it is
-
and incorporated. And through this chapter it just told you everything you needed to
-
know. And it did it multiple times. It did it multiple times.
-
I did it multiple times. It repeatedly stated, Hey, this male child
-
gets taken to heaven and now he is an inhabitant of heaven. And the
-
Dragon and his stars have been cast to the earth, and these children fill
-
their vacuum. They are the children of Abraham that are counted as the stars
-
are counted. I mean, this chapter, in more than one way,
-
tells you, in more than one time, this child has filled the vacuum
-
left by the Dragon and his stars. So one versus that the child was
-
taken to heaven. The other verse calls those children the inhabitants of heaven.
-
And that's why it said it. That's why it said it. And take
-
note, this entire war between Satan and Michael is fought over these children that
-
have assumed the dragon's position in that order. Look, this is what happens.
-
There is coming a time when Satan will order one third of the angels
-
to come to Earth with him. When he does that, an event is
-
triggered and God snatches this child to Hell. Then the dragons. Immediately sees
-
that, oh, no, these children have taken our place. They have
-
filled our void. We have to go back up there. Michael immediately intervenes
-
and presents and prevents the devil and his angels from doing this. This is
-
exactly what this describes. It doesn't describe anything else. You are the woman.
-
You are not subject to this war. The best that Satan can do
-
is issue a flood from his mouth to have the woman caught up in its
-
wake. But just like number sixteen and the rebellion that occurred within the children
-
of his world, the ground opened up its mouth and swallowed those who had
-
partookken the rebellion. Read Numbers chapter sixteen. That's what's being referenced here.
-
That's the best Satan can do is instigate people to rebel against God. When
-
he sees that that don't work, he goes after the rest of her children,
-
which have been sealed by God so they can't take the mark the beast.
-
Yet, at the same time, the Book of Revelation says that you
-
can't die because God himself orders death to flee from you. So when they're
-
beheaded, they wind up in this limbo. This is why they are part
-
of the First Resurrection, and they rule and reign with Christ. So literally,
-
I hope you all understand that. Literally, Revelation chapter twelve is built
-
around the parent prophecy. If you don't know the parent prophecy, you have
-
no idea what he's talking about. And it amazes me that when I bring
-
this up in a classroom, people will be shocked. Wait a minute,
-
you're saying that it's saying that those who dwell on the earth are these children
-
that were taken to heaven. That's exactly what I'm saying. Not only that,
-
I appreciate that you think that's what I'm saying. I will show you
-
the Greek. That's what the Greek is saying. That's what God's word is
-
saying, not me. And you were supposed to know that he just said.
-
He just said the devil got kicked out of heaven, so obviously these
-
children had filled their vacuum. This is all. It is all a terrible
-
trick on the devil. Listen, this entire thing starts when this happens,
-
and his tail drew a third part of the stars of heaven and did cast
-
them to earth. This is the KJV and the dragon stood before the woman,
-
who was ready to be delivered, to devour her child as soon as
-
he was born. So him and his one third of us host are down
-
here waiting to butcher these children. Verse five. And she brought forth a
-
manchild who was to rule all the nations with the rod iron. And her
-
child was caught up unto God and to his throne, Ladies and gentlemen.
-
This is exactly what Daniel chapter seven describes. This is exactly what it describes.
-
Let's jump over there real quick and read this one more time. Even
-
though we just covered this in another program Jose and I did, but I
-
think it's incredibly important that that now this is being, you know, so
-
magnified in your mind, step by step by step. I think it's pretty
-
important that we go there and check this out because this is exactly what God
-
states that he does. So take note that we're going to go here in
-
verse nine, So imagine this. Satan sees that these children are special,
-
and he orders one third of his angels to go down and kill the children
-
as soon as they're born, and God takes them to heaven. Listen very
-
carefully, this is what God states. I beheld until thrones were cast down.
-
Well, that KJV took you by surprise, didn't it. Let me
-
say that one more time in the KJV, I beheld until thrones were cast
-
down, and the ancient of days did sit. This said it in such
-
a way that it triggered a remembrancer with you. Now you can understand why
-
the Hebrew had to say exactly what it said in the way that it said
-
it. Let's try the New American Standard Bible. It says that, jumping
-
down here to verse nine, it says, I kept looking until thrones were
-
set up. Now, remember where God's word is Hebrew and Greek, so
-
this is another way to translate it. But in reading it out of the
-
KJV, you understood why it set that, because these children take the place
-
of these one third of the hosts that fall as soon as they sit in
-
these very thrones that God just said he set up. In Daniel chapter seven,
-
verse nine, the devil tries to go back up and Michael prevents him
-
from doing it. So this literal chapter is built around the parent prophecy.
-
In this instance, it's saying that this male child is reckoned after the stars
-
of heaven and those that take part in the First Resurrection are reckoned after the
-
sand of the sea shore. You are the woman, You're the bride.
-
You represent Sarah, you represent Rebecca, you represent Leah, you represent Rachel.
-
The whole New Testament states that we're the bride of Christ. Correct,
-
Jose, Yes, Matthew, absolutely. So once that we stated this way
-
and built Revelation chapter seven around the parent prophecy, now this entire chapter you
-
would have to agree. It makes absolute, perfect sense and this was the
-
perfect way to describe it. Lock Stock and Barrel, Absolutely, Matthew,
-
it all makes sense. So we could start right here and go through the
-
entire New Testament and prove that time after time after time, this is always
-
what the New Testament stakes. Amen. And and when you realize that,
-
now it makes sense as to where our changing takes place. We are relocated
-
for the tribulation. Jose. That's what this chapter just stated. You will
-
never see the false prophet, you will never see the beast from the abyss.
-
The only thing that you are going to have to face is a rebellion
-
within your own ranks as described in Numbers chapter sixteen. But those of the
-
First Resurrection that have been sealed by God in Revelation chapter seven. And by
-
the way, the male child is the other group that's numbered according after the
-
first group's number in Revelation chapter fourteen. So Revelation chapter seven are the rest
-
of her children that are reckoned and numbered after the sand of the seashore,
-
and they have the exact same number as the group from Revelation chapter fourteen,
-
which is numbered after the stars. It's the same number. So at this
-
point it makes rock solid sense. Now we can go forward in the New
-
Testament, we can go backward in the Old Testament, and everything is going
-
to make sense once the parent prophecy is put in its proper place as the
-
cornerstone to all prophecy. This is the parent prophecy. Why Christ was Propheside,
-
why every prophecy that's been given, that has been given, has been
-
fulfilled or will be fulfilled. It's based off this one prophecy, the parent
-
prophecy given to Abraham. Amen. Your further thoughts, Well, we're running
-
out of time, but I just want to say, if you had a
-
lot of people confuse the one hundred and forty four thousand in Revelation seven and
-
the one hundred and forty four thousand in Revelation fourteen. But there's clear distinct
-
descriptions between those two groups to let you know that they're different groups. Okay,
-
one of the ones in Revelation fourteen, they're in mountains Zion. They're
-
in heaven, right, Like Matthew was saying, they're the ones that are
-
blamed this. They have no lie in their mouth. Okay, they have
-
kept themselves Chase. That's what it says. What a revelation tells us,
-
It tells us these are the ones that with for the tribulation. These are
-
the ones that have had their robes, their white robes cleaned by the blood
-
of the Lamb. Okay, those in order for those robes to be clean,
-
Matthew, they had to have been soiled at one point and now they've
-
been cleaned. Okay, So these are two distinct groups that God's telling us
-
about. And we're not even getting to the Greek and what the Greek tells
-
us and shows us how these two we just don't have the time to do
-
it. But I mean, even that's amazing, Matthew, the way God
-
numbers these groups in the Greek and so he's very clearly pointing out these are
-
two distinct groups. And if you understand a parent prophecy, and you understand
-
how that relates to Revelation twelve, you can clearly see here in Revelation seven
-
and fourteen, what the who those two groups are. And you know,
-
let's magnify who's in heaven. Let's magnify who are the citizens of heaven.
-
Let's magnify who well Revelation chapter twelve, how did it put it? Let's
-
lay down the law in Hebrews chapter twelve, starting in verse twenty two.
-
Okay, but you have come to Mountain Sion and to the city of the
-
Living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the
-
general assembly and Church of the First Born who are in road in Heaven.
-
Ladies and gentlemen. He's talking about this male child. He's talking about this
-
first group of one hundred and forty four thousand from Revelation chapter fourteen that are
-
taken to heaven. It just stated Mount Zion is God's stronger and it just
-
stated that this is called the Church of the First Born in Rold in Heaven.
-
Let me finish the verse the latter part of verse twenty three of Hebrews
-
chapter twelve. And to God the judge of awe and the spirits of the
-
righteous made perfect. And to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant. Jose
-
we talked about this the other day. Sorry, I can't let me finish
-
this. And to the sprinkled Blood, which speaks better than the blood of
-
Abel. We just talked about this new covenant, right, hose Be did
-
us. It's imperative that you all check out our Bible study on Hebrews.
-
We just talked about this, so it's really detrimental that you at least listen
-
to Hebrews chapter nine. Literally, this just told you, lock Stock and
-
Beryl, who this is. It's these one hundred and forty four thousand male
-
children that are force born. That's exactly what Revelation chapter fourteen calls them.
-
Let's do this again real quick, all three verses. But you've come to
-
Mount Zion and to the City of the Living God, and to heavenly Jerusalem,
-
and to myriads of Angels, to the General Assembly and Church of the
-
Firstborn who are enrolled in Heaven. And to God the judge of all the
-
spirits of the righteous, make perfect. And to Jesus the mediator of a
-
new covenant, and to be sprinkled blood which speaks better than the blood of
-
Abel. These three verses is built around you knowing the parent prophecy and Revelation
-
chapter twelve and how the General Assembly and the Church are the firstborn get enrolled
-
in heaven because Revelation chapter twelve just told you how that's going to happen.
-
When it's going to happen. And I cannot stress this enough. Literally,
-
God comes out and tells you exactly what happens in Isaiah chapter twenty six.
-
And it's all paramount that you realize this is based off the parent prophecy,
-
and it is paramount that you realize that you need to go back to the
-
parent prophecy. And jose was right. Go to Genesis chapter twenty one and
-
verse e eight. This is paramount as to why all these things are done.
-
Okay, Satan and his angels know this, so they come down and
-
they're gonna butcher this child before it's born. But when is the celebration given?
-
Gonna say it real slow Genesis chapter twenty one, verse eight, And
-
the child grew and was weed, and Abraham made a great feast on the
-
day that Isaac was weed right is down, and memorize it. Matthew,
-
Chapter twenty four, verse nineteen. Matthew, Chapter twenty four, verse nineteen.
-
This is why he says what he says. This is Jesus describing to
-
you these events. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who
-
are nursing babies in those days, because ladies and gentlemen, whether you like
-
it or not, God is going to take them on his great day.
-
He's going to take them on his great day. This is exactly what Isaiah
-
chapter twenty six details. So once you put the parent prophecy where it's supposed
-
to go, it is the cornerstone of all prophecy. All prophecies are given
-
to facilitate the parent prophecy. This is why what you call the rapture is
-
post trip. It happens at the first resurrection. There is no denying this,
-
but you need to accept this in your mind. You're going to go
-
through the birth pains, and the day that the tribulation starts, you're going
-
to take place in Operation Eagles Wings, and you're going to be relocated.
-
It's a pre wrath relocation, a post trib rapture. This is what the
-
Bible is screaming at the top of its lungs. This is why the early
-
church fathers were not pre tribbers. They stated the same thing that the Bible
-
always states that before the tribulation, we're going to be gathered together. That's
-
true. It's a pre tribe, it's a pre wrath relocation, it's a
-
post tribe resurrection. It's that way. It's that way in First Corinthians chapter
-
fifteen, it's that way in Second Thessalonians chapter two. It's always that way.
-
It's always that way. And if you didn't understand that you're going to
-
be taken to a place that God prepares for you, you've just been chasing
-
your tail. You couldn't make heads or tails of Bible prophecy because you didn't
-
have the parent prophecy in place. Was you're closing comments, please, I
-
just want to leave one more prophecy for the listener that's studying and to meditate
-
on Isaiah three, verse four. I will make your lads their princes,
-
and Capricia's children will rule over them. And there's study all the different translations,
-
because they all say it a different way. But this is describing that
-
parent prophecy Matthew that God told neighbors, describing exactly what He tells us in
-
Revelation seven fourteen twenty twelve, all down the line. So again, God
-
repeats himself over and over and lets us know what is to come. Indeed,
-
he does, and he does it to instruct us on what is to
-
come. Yes, that's why he does it. That's why he does it.
-
So Jose, please take us out of here in prayer, Dear heavenly
-
Father, we give you thanks and praise for allowing us to gather together as
-
an ecclesia to study your word. Lord. I thank you for allowing me
-
at the time these past couple weeks to read through the Book of Genesis to
-
prepare me for this broadcast, even though I was unaware we were going to
-
cover it. Lord, I asked that you share this word with the ecclesia
-
in the in future archives, that it spread that people can understand what is
-
to come. Lord, You have not given us your word to confuse us.
-
You have given us your word to edify us and to prepare us for
-
what is to come. Lord. I also pray for those that are in
-
need right now, lots of troubles going on, lots of family suffering financially,
-
physically, spiritually. And I pray for those families right now, Father,
-
that you be with them and that you help them, and that you
-
help the ecclesia take care of those in need. And we ask all this
-
in the name of your son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
-
Amen, Amen and Amen. Until next time, ladies and gentlemen, God
-
bless God speed. Thank you for listening to Marinath the Ministries with Matthew Miller.
