The Abomination of Desolation Pt 2

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

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

subscribe and support this podcast. So we are Mere Nathal Ministries and now Reduction

Draweth Nigh. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program. We

are your host Leonard and Matthew. Tonight we're going to dive ever deeper into

this abomination of desolation. What is going to be desecrated? That's really what

we're talking about. Something is going to be desecrated, and we need to

figure out. Is this going to be a physical that's going to be built

like the second Temple that King Darius got built? Is that what we're looking

out here? We're looking at a second you know, we're looking at a

third temple? Or does the Bible come and I mean in way more ways

than one, does it come out and say that, well, Leonard,

had I discussed about the last program. The Bible emphatically comes out and says

that, And we didn't cover all the chapters that says that, No,

we are the temple, and it comes out in highly complicated ways to say

that. So we have plenty of chapters we can cover here, just so

everybody knows. I mean, there's no shortage of scriptures that there just isn't.

You have First Corinthians three, First Corinthians six, you have Second Corinthians

six, you have Second Ephsions or Ephisions chapter two, whichever way you want

to say it, Ladies and gentlemen, the Bible, God's Holy Word comes

out in highly complicated ways. And I say that we should probably just go

to the first one, First Corinthians, chapter three. It's so highly complicated,

there's no way around it. God is telling you in your face.

He's in your face, telling you emphatically that do you not know that you

are the temple of God and that the spirit of God dwells in you.

If any man destroys the Temple of God, God will destroy him. For

the Temple of God is holy and that is what you are. Now.

That is the cornerstone of this chapter. And this chapter goes way out of

its way to explain to you the different types of abomination that there is,

because this entire chapter is about building the temple. But right from the get

go, the Lord wants you to know that, Hey, the very first

thing a false prophet's going to do is try to get you convinced that they

are, in fact the builder of God's temple. I mean, this is

a very famous chapter, Leonard. Many many, many people quote this as

the root cause for denominationalism is right here in this chapter, and in this

chapter you're given to Antichrist. Yes you are. It comes right out and

gives you fantastic detail into that. Now have you ever heard that before,

Leonard? Or is this the first time you've ever heard this about first printings

Chapter three? No, I've read this before. That's, you know,

as far as knowing that you are the temple of God. Yeah, the

first time I've heard that. No, have you ever heard before that this

presents two types of Antichrist? No? Never heard of that before. Is

the first time? Really? Yep? Well, he comes right on this

chapter, give two names. He gives two names and makes himself perfectly clear,

at least in the Greek. I don't know if you're getting in the

Hebrew, but in the Greek he's makingmself perfectly clear that no, no,

they're not the builders of the temple, and they're a part of the temple.

So these twenty three verses will just catch you by a surprise, ladies,

gentlem because that's what this entire chapters about. When you have eyes that

can see, that's what this is about. So you've read this recently,

Leonard, No, not recent, not this week? No, all right,

well let's do this. I'm going to take a read from it.

And now that I've pointed out some things to you, nobody's going to be

able to take away from you what this chapter's doing. Nobody. Nobody's gonna

be able to take it from you once I pointed out to you. So

I'm going to read the foundation again. That's verses sixteen and seventeen. Do

you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the spirit

of God dwells in you? If the end in mine destroys the temple of

God, God will destroy him. For the Temple of God is holy,

and that is what you are. Any questions, any questions. So with

that foundation in mind, let's go ahead and read this first stands and see

what we can see. And I, brethren, I could not speak to

you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to

influts. In Christ, I gave you milk to drink, solid food for

you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are

not able, for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and

strife among you, you are not fleshly. You are not walking like mere

men. For when one says I am of Paw and another I am of

Apollos, are you not mere men, ladies and gentlemen, He's making himself

perfectly clear that these people on milk, they are not adults in Christ,

because adults in Christ would know that nobody is of Matthew, nobody is of

Lennard. Nobody we preach and we construct the temple of the Living God,

which is the Lord Jesus Christ. Man. Now, when you understand this,

this will make you mad, Leonard, because who is the Lutheran Church

named after right Luther? And who's the Wesleyan Church named after? It says

it in the name. That's right, That's right, John Wesley, That's

right John Wesley. When you read these opening verses, if you're part of

a denomination that claims to be a follower of men like Calvin, you should

immediately the only reason why you're going to be doing that, Leonard. Did

he not point out to you that if you're doing that is you are not

an adult in Christ, right, saying that you're a child. You're very

fleshy, says in verse three, and you are going to be able to

be deceived. So right from the get go you need to understand what he's

done in this text is referring to Paul and as Apollos as Antichrist. Okay,

because following the works of men, that's right. If you're following somebody

other than the Lord Jesus Christ, you are not of his temple. So

this is why this reinforcing statement here pointing out two people. He's going to

elaborate further on this. He's going to elaborate further on it. He's going

to drive this point home, picking it up in verse five, What then,

of Apollos and what a Paul servants, through whom you believed, even

as the Lord gave opportunity, each one I planted Apollos watered, but God

was causing to grow. So then neither the one who plants nor the one

who waters is anything but God who causes the growth. Now, he who

plants and he who waters are one, but each will receive his own reward

according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers. You are

God's field, God's building. What part of that don't you understand, Leonard?

This last phrase in Greek says you are God building? What what part

of that's confusing to you? No, it's not, it's not. It's

perfect. I mean, it is literally crystal clear. Right. Yeah,

it's pretty just simple. You can't get a more simple than that. It's

literally been broken down to the two greatest people that could be talked about in

this situation. It's perfectly obvious that one person proclaimed the gospel to them,

correct, right, and then another person come in and instructed them, much

like a preacher and a teacher, right, yep. And he was perfectly

clear laying this out that but those two are a part of the same building,

just like you are. Now. The Bible says it's many different I

mean, Leonard, it is redundant for me to point out scriptures that say

that we are each working members of Christ's body. There's eyeballs, there's ears.

It would be redundant for me to point these things out. And that's

what he's saying here, and he said it in such a way using two

different examples, there is no debating that we are all God's building, We're

all his superstructure, his body. However you want to say it literally,

there's no way that you can debate. One Corinthians, Chapter three, verse

nine. This is an affirmative positive statement. You are God's building. That's

what you are. You're literally cells in his body. So with this in

mind, using these two prime examples of one preacher and one teacher, everybody

should know from the get go, this has got nothing to do with brick

masons, and it never did that. It never did. This has nothing

to do with a great engineer, even one that might be able to rival

Solomon and all his wisdom, got nothing to do with that. This is

talking about you being a temple of the Lord Jesus Christ and of God.

That's what it's saying, and there's just no way around it. Moving on

to verse ten, knowing the first nine verses, there's really nothing furthermore that

really we should talk about. It's a done deal right here. He's made

affirmative positive statements that cannot be contradicted, that literally can't be contradicted using the

Bible, because this is what God always says. This is literally what the

entire New Testament says. But moving on to verse ten, according to the

grace of God which is given to me like a master builder, I laid

a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be

careful how he builds on it, for no man can lay a foundation other

than one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now, ladies and

gentlemen, if you need a hint, you ain't got a clue. Let

me say that again. There is no way what just came out of God's

mouth can be countermanded. He has stated emphatically, positively and unequivocably. It

is the Lord Jesus Christ. That's what it is, and it's nothing else.

First one, now, if any man builds on the foundation with gold,

silver, grascious stones, would hay straw. Each man's work will be

good, evident, for the day will show it because it is to be

revealed with him fire, and the fire itself will test the quality in each

man's work. Leonard, I'm sorry, but what just came out of his

mouth is affirmative action. I don't care if you build a temple entirely of

gold. Oh, it's going to be try, it's going to be destroyed

by fire. You caught that right. It sound like the Bama seat.

And in the face of the beamacy, the only thing that can endure is

the body of Christ, is the Temple of God, which you are correct,

Leonard, right, because once you receive your reward after return of Christ,

Leonard, it's not before. There is no partial return of Christ in

Jeremiah or Ezekiel or lamentations. It's nowhere. There is no such thing as

the partial return of Chraek the return of Christ. You will go through the

Greek says a Agismopia. You will go through the changing on the earth at

that time. That is a triple closed compound word in Greek. That's when

you'll be changed, Leonard. And that's when the marriage supper of the Lamb

is when he gets back that thing and only that thing, and survive the

onslaught of what God's going to do. So I don't see why we can

look these verses just stated emphatically. Look, even if you were to build

a superstructure, even if you were to build the Third Temple out of pure

diamond, and if you don't have that much money, the next hardest thing

of course is carbine. Yes, if any of you is wondering, yes,

I know my metallurgy. Yes I studied it. Not only that,

I am and have been in the past an expert C and C program.

So yes, I can tool with carbine. Even if you build it with

that, your third temple is not going to survive the bast of the ruth

of God. It's not going to work. And he just told you that.

So we should really stop reading right now because he just told you.

No material you build off of Leonard is going to survive it. So there's

not going to be any third temple. It's not going to happen. There's

not going to be a literal Jewish third temple. It's not going to happen.

It's just not going to happen. Verse fourteen. Now listen, list

ram this home. Because of this, let's finish the stands. Let's finish

verse fourteen. If any man's work, which he has built on it remains,

he will receive a reward. If any man's work is burned up,

he will suffer loss, but he himself will be safe yet as through fire.

What's that mean, ladies and gentlemen, He is telling you that Apollos

and Paul were building God's temple and as such having winning more stones to Jesus,

what's that mean? The people of corinth had become Christians through the preaching

of Paul and the teaching of Apollos, and they will receive a reward in

doing so. But anything that they did with their hands, anything that they

accomplished, even if they build a physical church for the Corinthians, he emphatically

just said, it'll be newked and there'll be nothing left of it, because

all that matters is souls for the Kingdom. Alls that matters is the Corinthians.

I mean, if you're a Christian in Phoenix, Phoenix don't matter.

The only thing that matters in Phoenix are the Christians in Phoenix. That's it.

So at this point, using fourteen verses, there is no possible way

you could construct in your mind. And I don't care if you have a

very active imagination, Leonard, you cannot put together in your mind that God

in any way, shape and form, was saying that there's going to be

a literal brick and mortar building built which is going to be desecrated. Right,

No, because we are the temple, we are the temple, and

the only references to that temple being desecrated is the great apostasy, right,

that apostancy occurs within christ temple? Amen? Amen, yeah, because that's

the falling away. I mean, that's and how do you and how do

they fall away by listening to another voice? That's right? And it made

it pretty clear in here he gave you two prime examples. The top of

the food chain was the preacher that presented to you the gospel, right right,

And it said his next, the next person that would receive the greatest

rewards him would be the person that further instructs you and teaches you, right

correct. He's talking about what do we call these people in modern times?

Leonard? We call him clergy, don't we, right, Ladies and gentlemen.

This is exactly saying, who, what way, or when? And

why you're gonna get you're false Christ and false prophets. Yeah. Well,

it's everything is very fleshy, you know, I mean, man, you

know, being the number of six, everything is very fleshy, That's right.

And he's saying that in a beautiful way here in Greek. I mean

I'm giving you a very simplified version. I mean in Greek. This is

fantastically complicated because this is written in corn Iny of Greek. Modern people that

speak Greek, they can't handle this. You do understand that the Greek language

has been massively dumbed down. You do know that, right? They look

at this in the original Greek and it's it's it's on the order of seventy

times more complicated than modern Greek. This is very exacting in its original language.

Now that all that has been said, it's just redundant for me to

now go on to verses sixteen and seventeen. At this point, it's redundant.

You should know full well he's told you even if you use solid gold,

that structure doesn't matter. He has not building his temple here. Just

so everybody remembers, Okay, what did it say? It said gold,

silver, precious stones, would ay or straw? What else can you build

with, Leonard? You can build with, still, Tolly, What would

be a better material to use in this instance than gold or diamond? Nothing?

Right? Nothing else than that? Now? Okay, so what do

you think that the Jews are going to build this their temple with Buddy,

all this stuff from right here. They're going to have all kinds of gold

in that temple, right, that's what they want, that's what they you

know, they're going to build everything and lay it with gold. But I

mean, you know there is you know, like you said that the devil's

not going to go into a temple and say that he's God because it's all

this is all upside down, man, it is all upside down. And

he's well, he's saying that with every syllable that he possibly can, utilizing

the coin in the of Greek language. He's saying that in every which way

he can, So you'd understand that. Look, whatever they build, he's

going to be a glorified synagogue. It will not it will never be a

temple of God. It will never be the body of Christ. Do you

understand that? So, no matter what they do, no matter whose name

they put on it, I don't care if they put Paul's name on it,

that I offend you. I hope I did, because if I pricked

you and you bleed, that means you still got hope. Even if they

put a policy's name on this building, it's still just going to be an

over glorified synagogue. It'll never be the people of Christ, not ever God

is never implying here. He is literally breaking his neck telling you that it

is not a physical building that's going to be desecrated. Right, And that's

what I never got Like people think that God's going to get offended on an

actual physical building. No, it's it's what he built. That's what matters,

is what he built with his hands. Not God doesn't care about a

physical building, just doesn't. That's right. And I'm gonna go ahead and

read sixteen and seventeen again. Just ran that thought down, okay, because

you know this chapter began talking about children in Christ, right, Yes,

sir, So have you counted yet how many times I've read verses sixteen seventeen.

You haven't, have you? But I am very thorough. Leonard Watt

tell you the third time exactly this ram it down for the little children.

Do you not know you are the temple of God and that the spirit of

God dwells in you. If any man destroys the temple of God, God

will destroy him, For the Temple of God is holy and that is what

you are. You know, Matthew, you've been to churches. Have you

ever heard like the opposite teaching of this of what these verses mean in a

church, I remember hearing this, and the understanding of that got from the

teaching of First Corinthians three, is that that you need to live a holy

life. And this was like within the Pentecostal church that this meant that you

need to live a whole It was about holy living. That your body is

the temple, so you cannot live unholy because you're going to because the spirit,

the holy Spirit of God resides within you. Never, though, was

it ever taught that you are the living stone and you are the temple,

like the temple of God's, that God is going to be dwelling, and

that we're talking about the end time temple. Never, never have this has

ever been preached like that. It's always been preached the other way of you

need to live a holy life. Well, you're saying that they only taught

it halfway, because that is true, because what this is saying, ladies

and gentlemen, that if you go up into your whorehouse and horror yourself,

you just desecrated God's temple. So, Leonard, I appreciate that you got

half the message, but that's what you got. You only got half the

message because you obviously got it from someone that was not an adult in Christ.

Now you have some experience with a whole lot of different type of denominational

preachers, right correct. I mean you've interviewed more than a couple, right

correct. And guess what. Guess what, Leonard, you interviewed a whole

bunch of them that were not adults in Christ. Yeah, it was a

bunch of children teaching other children, that's right, making sure that everyone in

that superstructure stayed on milk. Yeah, and that's I used to say that

all. I'm like, you know, it's just people drinking milk for like

thirty years, man, right, people drinking milk well into their thirties.

But this has always been the defining factor whenever I was taught this, and

I could literally you know, we had revivals based on this. And I

tell you what the hell fire and Brimstone evangelists that we would get they would

ram this down because they would tell you, look, once you get saved,

once you are publicly baptized and publicly proclaimed the name of Christ, if

you decide to go down to you know, whatever type of sin you're doing,

I really don't care what you're doing. Okay, if you decide to

go down to the crack house. Leonard, you just created the abomination,

desolation, you've guess that created the Temple of the Holy Spirit, and in

doing so, you are in danger and hell fire, Yes you are.

You know you saying that it just uh it's crazy because there's certain churches that

allow you know, uh, same sex marriage. Uh, there's churches that

allow uh you shocking up and not saying anything about it, and uh,

you know they they don't, they don't preach repentance. Actually they encourage they

say that, uh, you know, God's all inclusive. So but yeah,

I mean they That's why I was telling you last week that they're gonna

they're they're gonna inherit the same judgment as the devil. Do you mean they're

going to burn in a hell? Okay, let let me let me surprise

a lot of you. The devil himself knows that. Yeah, yeah,

he knows it. And these people are deceived, of course, they're deceived,

but they have listened to exactly what their itching ears wanted to hear.

Because sins awful fun Leonard, I mean, don't you enjoy being stoned?

Leonard? Don't lie to me, don't don't lie to me. When I

was in the world, I did. Yes, of course you like being

stoned, So why aren't you stoned? Now? Don't tell me you're not

capable of being stoned. I know you will have the resource to get stoned

as often as you'd like. Sowriddle me, Leonard, why aren't you stoned?

Because I fear the Lord. That's right, because you fear God and

you are his temple. Amen. Amen. So if you want to burn

in hell, by all means, go get a bong and fire it up.

But I'm not be mis led, Leonard, Do not be mis led.

You are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and if you desecrate it,

you're gonna burn. It amazes me how this this Western Church of Hours,

somehow thinks that Christ is gonna is gonna cooke his head through the cloud

singing coomb by y'all see the anti Christ and get scared, scoop up all

his little children and run back to heaven with his tail between his legs.

I assure you that ain't gonna happen. You know, Matthew, when I

was younger, I used to hear that teaching, and before you know,

before I was a serpent of God and the child of God. I used

to think, Wow, I'll just wait for Jesus Christ to if this is

true, I'll just wait for him to come snatch everybody out, and then

I'll just repent, and then I'll be just get my head chopped off and

be saved. That's what I used to think. Well, like I used

to think, I just live my life where I want it, and if

Jesus is real and he does snatches people up, I'll just get saved by

getting my head chopped off, right, Because you're tough enough, right,

yeah, that's what I used to think. You're a tough guy, right

yeah. And not just me. There was a lot of people that would

oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, let me nt on your party.

No, that makes you a coward. I don't have a problem say,

and I'll say it to your face. I said, you're a coward

if you're going to live like a whore and then just run up to the

enter cress and say, hey, hey, hey, I don't want to

go through this tribulation. Just chop my head off now. No no,

no, no, no, no. That doesn't make you a tough guy.

That makes you a coward. And I'm going to tell you something true.

All the prophets who were butchered in the past, they were never cowards.

They were many things, but they were never cowards. What you're describing

is a coward boy. I bet that's upsetting some people right now. Yeah.

Yeah, because a lot of people, even when you know, I've

known a lot of people to think the same way, and they would just

say, I mean we were talking regular conversation. I would say it like,

well, if God is real, then I'll just get my head chopped

off. After Jesus comes takes everybody and pretty much the other people that were

believing in God that were going to church and trying to well at least.

I don't know if them thinking that they were going on Sunday and Wednesday and

going to the youth ministries and all that thought that they were going to be

saved that way. But they all thought the same way too, because they

lived their life still like the world. But they would go to it'd be

crazy because they'd be partying. This. When I got older, some of

the Christians I knew, and even in my family, some of the Christians

would be partying on Saturday and then Sunday. Okay, we're going to We're

going to church on Sunday, and uh time to sober up and time to

uh ask God for forgiveness. Hurt a good hurt, a good uh you

know message, and I'll just go watch football and you know all the rest.

I mean, that's how it was for a lot of people that I

knew that we're in church were like that. You know, they had a

form of godliness, you know, throughout the week. Well they're in church,

but they're not in Christ. But they're not in Christ. And you

would never know that they were a Christian if you were to like meet them

on the street. That that's not what their conversation would be. Right.

But yeah, that type of thinking, I think it was rapid, you

know, around the youth and the younger people of well, if you know,

I'll just get my head chopped off, I'll just live the way I

want and I'm okay. Because you know, Church used to always push that

you're okay if you accept Jesus Christ if you say this magical prayer and it's

not even it's not even, it wasn't even like you have to truly believe

this. You just say this prayer. They would just say, you say

this prayer and believe it, you're good, and that kind of like you

know, for a young person, it just goes over their head. And

of course when they feel guilty because of sins that they have, they'll say,

okay, I'll say this prayer. And they're saying the prayer like you

know, four times a week or three times or two times time. They're

saying the prayer every time they go to church. Yeah. Well, that's

why the last stands is in this chapter. And if I would have stopped

reading right now, most people would have never caught it. I say that

to your shame. I don't have a problem saying it because I fear God.

If I stopped reading right now, most of you would have thought that

was the end of the chapter. You would have done this. I'll say

it again, just to make sure you understand what I'm saying. I'd to

say this to your shame. To your shame, because everything that just came

out of Leonard's mouth, he's getting ready to talk about. Everything that is

written in the latter part of this chapter is exactly what Leonard was describing the

so called Christians are doing. And I said that with meaning, because Leonard,

you need to know this. The devil and his demons, they know

that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Messiah. Even they know that. And

if they believe that, you're saying that, this this Antinomian three grace believism,

it even works for the devil himself, Is that what you're saying?

Hmm? Every time I say that, it gets people hot under the collar.

Let me say that again. Even the devil himself believes that the Lord

Jesus Christ is God the Son, and he's still damned just like you are

if you act like him. I mean, just so you won't know.

A liar is a liar. A liar is not a Christian. A thief

is a thief. No Christian on the planet is a thief. A harlot

is a harlot because she practices harlotree not a Christian. So with that in

mind, I'm sorry if somebody's convinced you that you you can just believe that

the Lord Jesus Christ is is the Son of God, and your shot free.

Everybody goes to heaven and everybody sings kumbaya. Boy, you got another

thing coming, because I'm gonna tell you, what's right in front of you

is the great day of He who sitteth upon the throne, and he's gonna

grab you by the hair of your head, and by God, you'll know

what the truth is then, because he doesn't beat around the bush. He

repeatedly tells you that you're gonna eat dirt on that day, and you're gonna

say that no, no, no, no, no, he is God.

So just wait, it's right up in front of you. But just

so you know, if you're practicing Lutheranism or if you're practicing you know,

Wesleyanism, or if you're practicing Calvinism, he's Tommy and you're gonna have a

reckoning with him who sits on the throne, just so you know. So

we better finish up this chapter because all those little mechanations in your mind,

God don't care about because he's not like you. And he says in the

Bible of His Holy Word that he's not like you, and that you think

that He is just like you. No, no, he's not perfect.

Team. Let no man deceive himself. Why would he start talking about this

after emphatically saying that you are the temple of God. Why would he start

saying this man, it's a good thing. I decided to go ahead and

finish the chapter. Huh, because ninety nine percent of you thought the chapter

ended. Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks he

is wise at this age, he must become foolish so that he may become

wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God, for it

is wit. He is the one who catches the wise in their craftiness.

And again the Lord knows the reasonings of the wise that they are useless.

So then let no one boast in men. For all belongs to you,

whether Paul or Apollos or Seaphist, or the world, life, death,

or things present or things to come, All things belong to you, and

you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God. Then it's that way

and no other way. So He just gave to you, step by step

how it is that's you are the temple of God. And what Leonard was

describing was these people's craftiness. And God just told you that on his day

He's going to catch you in your craftiness and going to rattle your cage,

and then you will know he is God. He says, is this repeatedly.

Yeah, there's no running from the Lord. No, there's no running

from God. We were just I was just talking, well, my son

was. We were doing a Bible study right before we started May, about

a half hour before we started, and that's what my son was doing a

Bible study on Jonah and talking about the trying to run away from the will

of God. But you can't run away from God period at all. It's

it's kind of it's kind of we were kind of like just my wife was.

She was just like, it's just doesn't make sense. You know,

God created everything. People think that they can run and hide, but you

can't. But they can't. There is just quite simply no way to do

it. You know, it's funny that you would talk about that. You

know, do you realize that the three and a half sequences in Jonah.

Buck can just rattle this right off the top of my head. Christ God,

because I'm going to tell you true, those who raised me, they

trained me up and the way I should go, and I can just rattle

this stuff right off the top of my head. You need to understand what

Leonard just said, and it encoded within it is the three and a half

sequence of tribulation. Now, if you didn't know that, oh my goodness,

it tells me that you don't know about the time of Jonah. Okay,

because you're so wrapped up in your wisdom. Now now I just read

everything that First Corinthians chapter three ended with, So I'm going to predicate everything

I say off that you're missing the whole point. Leonard was wrecked in saying

that, well, the Ninavites got out of judgment. It's not the Ninavites,

God judge, he was Jonah. How is that? Well? I

can rattle these things right off the top of my head. Hey, no,

what does Jonah? Chapter three, Verses three and fourth eight. So

Jonah arose and went to Ninevah. According to the word of the Lord.

Now Ninevah was exceedingly great city. Three days' walk. Then Jonah began to

go through the city one day's walk, and he cried out and said,

yet, forty days and Nineveh will be overthrown. So he just come right

out and told you Jonah was going to be walking and preaching for three days.

Right, He come right out and said that. So let's jump to

the next chapter. Let's jump to chapter four and read verses five through eight.

Then Jonah went out from the city and sat east of it, so

this is on the third day. This happens there. He made a shelter

for himself and said under the shade until he could see what would have happened

in the city. So the Lord God appointed a plant, and it grew

up over Jonah to be shade over his head to deliver him from his discomfort.

And Jonah was extremely happy about the plant. So this is still on

day three. This is still the third day. But God appointed a worm

when dawn came, so this is dawn of the fourth day. When dawn

came the next day, and it attacked the plant and it withered. Then

the sun came up. God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun

beat down on Jonah's head that he became faint and begged with all his soul

to die, saying death is better to me than live. He didn't catch

it. He just told you that this happened exactly after three and a half

days. This is pointing out to you the three and a half sequence from

Daniel chapter seven, nine and twelve. Yes it is. I don't need

you to tell me where it's at the Saints who raised me. They made

sure this was mechanically inserted into my synaptic responses. I don't need you to

tell me what's talking about. I've forgotten more about what God's word says.

Literally, he just said that this happened on the fourth day at noon is

when the scorching happened. This is when Jonah was judged. He was judged

after three and a half the three and a half sequence. So just in

case you know that isn't the only time that the three and a half sequence

is in the Bible. I mean you need to know that. So I've

already said Daniel seven, which is verse twenty five, Daniel nine, which

is verse twenty seven, Daniel twelve, which is verse seven. It's in

Luke four twenty five, It's in James five seventeen, It's in Revelation chapter

eleven, verses two, and the seventh time is in the next verse and

verse three. The eighth time is Revelation twelve, verse six, and the

ninth time is Revelation twelve, verse fourteen, and the tenth and final time

is Revelation thirteen, verse five. But you never had no Bible teacher,

ever, Teach you that, hey man, that's because that's the days of

Jonah. That's when Jonah got judged ad An amazing, how condition I don't

need you to tell me what God's word says. I know what it says

because I was told and taught as a child the entirety the First Corinthians chapter

three, Leonard, not some of it, I was taught all of it,

And the most important parts is verse eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty

one, twenty two, and twenty three. Those are six verses worth memorizing,

because if you think that you're anything other than the Temple of God,

it's because somebody crafty has deceived you. Did you catch that, Leonard?

Do you have access right now to First Crindians chapter three, yep. Start

reading in verse sixteen and read the whole thing. Read sixteen all the way

to the end. Read all those verses. Do you not know that you

are the temple of God and that the spirit of God dwells in you.

If any man destroys the Temple of God. If any man destroys the temple

of God, God will destroy him. For the Temple of God is holy,

and that is what you are. Let no man deceive himself. If

any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must

become foolish so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world

is foolishness before God. For it is written he is the one who catches

the wise in their craftiness. And again the Lord knows the reasonings of the

wise, that they are all useless. So then let no one boast in

men, For all things belong to you, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephists,

or the world of life, or the world or life or death,

or things present or things to come, all things belong to you, and

you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God. Well that was that

was pretty easy, wasn't it. Yeah, now you understand why he's talking

about people being crafty and all that. That's right, ladies and gentlemen.

They're going to try to convince you there's going to be a third temple.

You are the temple, and you better act accordingly. You know. It's

just it's just sad because you know, the enemy, the enemy has crept

into the church without the without the people even noticing. And if they were

just read the word for themselves, it's so simple, man, it's so

simple. But because they'd rather be spoon fed, and they'd rather just say,

well, this guy went to you know, he went to school,

and you know he has all these degrees and so he knows. So it

just makes lazy Christians to say, I don't need to study my word.

I can just listen to him. I could just be lazy and he could

just spoon feed me for the next thirty years until I die. Wow.

So do you know the two quotes that he quoted from the Old Testament there?

No, I don't know. The addresses. Now, that's a marvelous

thing. You said, the addresses, the addresses? Amen? Amen?

Well guess what, guess who does I mean? If you think my Sunday

school teacher, if you think sister Bottom's actually taught me First Corinthians chapter three

without drilling in my head, first Job chapter five, and Psalm ninety four,

I don't know. I didn't even know what to say, because you

realize the quotes the last stanza, this is a pertaining to It's built off

what God said there. So I think it's pretty important. So we better

do that because well in five, that's verse thirteen, which comprises a stanza

running from eight to sixteen. So let me read this for you. But

as for me, I would seek God, and I would place my cause

before God, who does great and unsearchable things, wonders without number. He

gives rain on the earth and sends water on the fields, so that he

sets on high those who are lowly, and those who mourn are lifted to

safety. He frustrates the plotting of the strewed, so that their heads cannot

obtain success. This is what was being quoted there. He captures the wise

by their own sh shrewdness, and the advice to cunning is quickly thwarted.

By day. They meet with darkness and grope at noon as in night.

But he saves from the sword of their mouth, and the poor from the

hand of the mighty. So the helpless has hope, and unrighteousness must shut

its mouth. Ladies and gentlemen, he didn't catch it. He just said

that He's going to raise up the stones of his temple, and that the

shrewd people, the people who practice unrighteousness, that is who the stones in

the temple of God was going to be delivered from. I mean very direct,

very to the point So the other thing he quoted from was Psaw ninety

four. So we're going to have to read four verses here. Pay heed

you senseless among the people, And when will you understand stupid ones? He

who planted the ear does he not hear? He who formed the eye?

Does he not see? He who chasens the nations? Will he not rebuke?

Even he who teaches man knowledge? The Lord knows the thoughts of man,

that they are a mere breath. And ladies and gentlemen, all I

got to say is this, If you didn't understand these things, if you

didn't know that that was quoting from verse eleven of Psalm ninety four, these

wicked people would be able to deceive you into thinking that it's a physical building

for the third Temple. And Leonard, you need to tell your wife this,

okay, You need to make sure your children know, and you sare

better fire. Make sure they teach your grandchildren that, no, Leonard,

you are the temple of God. There is no debating, there is no

taking this into a court of law and disproving it. It was that thorough

of a chapter. Amen. And you know, I really do feel people

who've never heard first Corinthians Chapter three preach. I've heard all chapters of the

Bible preached. I mean when I was growing up as a child. That's

what brother Marshall preach. Now you need to understand that I'm probably speaking Greek

to all of you. I grew up in a church where you didn't address

people proper because they were the body of Christ. So all my Sunday school

teachers, all you know, everybody, he was either a brother or sister.

So my preacher and his wife was brother and sister. Marshall. Let

me say that again, because I must address them reverently. You want to

know why, because they were a part of my temple. I don't even

know what their first names are, and I don't care to know. But

you need to know if someone has convinced you that there's going to be a

physical third temple that God is going to give a flying rip about when it's

desecrated. You do not know first printings Chapter three, verses sixteen through twenty

three, nor do you know what it's quoting from, nor do you understand

what those chapters mean. You don't have a clue, and that means you

need a hint. How could you possibly need a hint. If you've been

studying Bible prophecy for twenty years, I mean, in twenty years, how

many times could you read Genesis to Revelation right right right? And well you

got all these people making they got shows and networks and they have nothing they

are they are not hallow, They're hollow. Amen. For his name is

hallow. It means holy. That's what his name is. His name is

Hollo. And you need to understand it. Oh my goodness, Leonard,

there's entire ministries based off of the corruption of the scripture. Do you realize

that, right? Yep, there's entire ministry is built off the corruption of

Daniel chapter nine in the seventy weeks prophecy. And Leonard, we need to

we need to pray for the body of Christ. I mean, because I

don't you know, you know, I've been to many churches. I've been

to I think all the denominations, and you need to know, I met

Christians in either single one of them. There's always one or two always,

It amazes me, doesn't matter where to go. And a lot of them

they're old enough they don't even have the wherewithal to understand that. Hey,

your preachers actually homosexual that they don't. They don't realize that they don't.

They don't understand what's going on, because I'm here to tell you. This

chapter says that the Baptist are going to burn, says the Catholics are going

to burn, the Episcopalians are going to burn. This says that the body

of Christ, to a loane will endure. So that's who we need to

pray for, Leonard. Amen, the Lutherans are going to get what they

got coming. Amen. Amen, Leonard, take us out of here in

prayer, please, oh, definitely, Father the name of Jesus, Lord

God, we is. I thank you, first, Lord God, for

allowing us to come together and to just to go through your word, Lord

God. And thank you for the insight you've given my brother here, Lord

God, and thank you for what you've been speaking to me in my heart.

Lord Lord. I just pray for the body of Christ, Lord God,

that they will just receive your word, Lord God. And I pray

Lord God for for them to have endurance, Lord God, for being in

in a world where we live, Lord God, where the word is just

flipped upside down, Lord God, and completely just confusion. Father. I

just pray that you just take away the confusion from their hearts. Take away,

Lord God, any kind of stress, Lor God, and just give

them the peace from your spirit, Lord God that surpasses all understanding. Help

us, Lork God, to be you know, to be good stones,

Lord God in your temple. Help us to be worthy, Lord God,

give us the strength. Lord God, give us your wisdom, and not

the world's wisdom or what we learn from other people, but from your word.

Help us, Lord God, if we are slow, Lor God,

help us to learn quickly as by your spirit, Lord God, because everything

comes from you. Help us, Lord God, help us to do what's

right. Help us to honor you and all that we do, and honor

the brother and Lord God and the sister's Lord. Help us to be that

light in this dark world. Help us to be a beacon, Lord God,

and to bring many stones to the temple. Lord. Help us not

to be afraid to speak and to open our mouths or. We love you,

and we thank you in Jesus thing. We pray, Amen, Amen

and Amen. Until next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless God speed.
