047 The Abomination of Desolation Pt 1

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 Redemption Draweth

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

your host Leonard and Matthew. Tonight, we have a topic that is to

say it is a can of worms is to put it mightily, just to

put it mildly. I have done this in a classroom setting and to have

people storm out. This is very a very very touchy subject. And Leonard

is probably wondering how it is that I knew that this is what he believed

anyway, because he hasn't done any formal things saying this publicly. He hasn't

done any broadcast on this. Yes, Leonard has done plenty of broadcasts.

He's never done any programs on this dedicated to this topic. It is that

correct, Leonard, Yeah, it's correct. So I had an urging,

let's just say, that's just the best way to put it that I just

had an inkling that I should ask Leonard this question. So I did,

and I'm going to let him give you his response, because all of you

are going to probably get upset because this is going to contradict everything that any

man has ever taught you. Now, I can say that with authority,

having been in an institution of higher learning, not secular, private Christian institution

of higher learning. So I can say this with authorities. Okay, you're

not going to get this from them, you're not, so just prepared to

have your cage rattled, because that's that's what's that's what's going to happen tonight.

So, Leonard, do you believe that there is a third temple that

is going to be built that is going to be desecrated and then and then

destroyed much like the first Temple was, and much like the second Temple was?

Is that your belief? No? You know, so that that reply

probably caught most people by surprise because you did not hesitate, you did not

weigh your words. You immediately responded, and you didn't beat around the bush

because the Lord is obviously your God. I mean, I don't have a

problem saying the truth, and I never have because Leonard, I'm not gonna

lie to you because you're not worth going to hell over. We understand,

Yes, I do so with that response, it was quick, it was

to the point, it was concise. You said, you gave me a

flat yes or no answer, and you had no hesitation in your voice.

So, by all means, why don't you elaborate your thoughts on why you

think that is? Because it doesn't matter if you go to the dispensation list,

it doesn't matter if you go to the preydorict whoever, if you're going

to any institution that's in the Western Church, they're not going to say what

just come out of your mouth? So why don't you qualify that where did

you get this from? Who did you get this from? If you got

it from somebody, and just elaborate on why you think this is the case.

Well, you know, I was always raised like a Pentecostal, so

I've heard that doctrine before of like you know, the Third Temple and the

seven day Tribulation and either rapture and all that. So I've heard all that,

never really understood it, never really paid attention honestly until I got saved.

And when I became saved and I started to hear that same type of

preaching from my own study from God's word, I just didn't see that,

you mean, so what I've seen is that we are the Temple, that

your body, you are the Temple, that the Spirit of God resides within

you. Went you accept that free gift of salvation, that you become the

Temple of God, that the Holy Spirit which resided in the holies of holies,

you know when when the Temple, you know, when the priests to

go into the Temple, that was the Holy Spirit, the spirit of God

that was in there, that now resides within us. So just like and

I was telling you, Matthew, I would ask different pastors about this,

from different denominations. My question. I would ask them, you know,

when I would we would talk about, you know, the end times and

talk about the Third Temple. I would always ask them to prove me,

to prove to me how we're not the Temple. So I mean, I

would always ask, okay, does the Bible state that you are the Temple

of God? And I would bring to those verses like I was saying to

you about Jesus saying destroy this temple in three days. I mean, George,

enjoy this temple, and in three days he'll he'll build it up.

And I was telling you how the Pharisees back then didn't understand what Christ was

talking about because they were looking at a physical building. And it's the same

for today. So you have the clergy who doesn't understand because they're looking at

a physical building. And my response to you, Matthew was like, and

to everybody else when I was talking to different pastors, why would God be

offended if there's a group of people who reject his son and they build a

temple. The offense is already of the rejection of Jesus Christ, not a

temple. That the brick and mortar building does not matter more than the son

of Jesus Christ. It does not matter. The rejection of Christ is blasphemous.

So God is not going to be offended of these people who are blasphemous

that build a temple. It's not going to matter. God is not going

to be offended on any temple being built by those who hate him, because

that temple isn't for him. We are the temple. You are the temple.

The spirit of God resides within you. And I got that just from

the simple reading of the scriptures, because it says it there. It's you

know, I remember when I first seen that when I first it first hit

me and I was like wow, and you know, I was trying to

tell people within my family, you know, we are the temple, you

know the spirit of God. It's us, you know, And so it

made me think about all these other scriptures that that uh, you know,

the futurists would say, and I just pondered on it. I don't I

didn't know where to go from that. I just knew that the spirit and

then that that's when we got into I started like teaching about revelation with my

family, and I started getting into the Seven Churches, and in one of

the churches saying that, I said, wow, I forgot what church it

was. But they're going to be building stones or like pillars within within the

temple. I'm like, the temple is like made up of like man,

you know, of what God is like using us as like the building blocks

of this temple. It talks about these people are going to be pillars within

the temple. You know, we're talking about we're talking about you know,

the what that gets brought down you know, from heaven and that so and

I was explaining, I'm like, wow, you know God is using you

know, the measurements of men for this temple you mean, so, I

don't know. I got into that. It just sparked my curiosity with that,

and the more that I kept digging, the more that I got more.

Uh, you know, God begin to show me more things within the

scripture to prove that that was the case, that what the spirit of God

was showing me was true, that it wasn't just me because God was showing

me through his word. So well, I mean, let's go to the

reference you just gave. I mean, Revelation chapter twenty one, verse nine.

Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bulls full of the

seven last plagues came and spoke to me, saying, come here, and

I will show you the bride the wife of the Lamb. Okay, ladies

and gentlemen, you'ren't gonna like what I if I keep reading. Okay,

the angel just said, come here, I'm gonna show you. It says

three, it says the bride the wife of the Lamb verse ten. And

he carried me away in the spirit to the great high mountain and showed me

the Holy City of Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God having the glory

of God, her brilliant. Look. Listen, it said her brilliance.

Her brilliance was like a very costly stone, as a stone of crystal clear

Jasper, Should I keep on reading? Yeah? There is no debating what

that angel just said. Correct, right, There is no misplacing his words.

There's no way around it, neither in Hebrew or Greek. He is

saying that the new Jerusalem that comes down from Heaven is the bride, the

wife of the Lamb. And he obviously does that just to make sure you're

not going to get confused. This is the bride the wife of the Lamb.

So beyond any contestation, this is being declared in so many verses.

Now that that that Leonard has referenced that you are the stones inside a temple,

That's that's what that's That's what I came up with when I was studying

them, and when I was doing studies with my family about that and staying

I was stating that the temple is going to be made up of us,

of men, you mean, of the we are We're going to be it.

I mean, it's kind of hard for people to understand that. When

I was telling some of my family members, it was I guess because years

of indoctrination of different you know, uh, of interpretations of the scripture,

and but but you can't deny what it's saying. So that's the problem is

that this is what it's saying. So those verses that you speaking to it,

it looks like it's like the bridal dress coming down and it's beautiful,

you mean, coming down from heaven front, you know, right well beyond

dinny shadow of a doubt. So let's take a rundown of one Peter Chapter

two, verses four through ten. Okay, this is the truth Leonard,

right, yes, sir, I mean, at the end of the day,

whatever we read, I don't care what we read. Let me make

sure everyone understand that I don't care what God's ward says. I don't care

if it says there's flying purple people eaters. That's what I believe. If

you would like to come here and interrogate my wife, my children, they

will all emphatically tell you that their daddy and my wife's husband, I don't

care what God's word said. I believe it first. So you all need

to know that right now. I don't care what I'm getting ready to do

to read if it says that four plus five is twenty two, by God,

that's what it is, because that's what the Lord says. So you

need to know this upfront. I'm not like you. I don't care what

an encyclopedia says. I don't care what Matthew Henry's commentary says. I don't

care. The only thing that I care about is what does this say in

Hebrew and Greek? Because that's how God gave it to me. He gave

it to me and Hebrew and Greek, and that's all I really want to

know. So you need to know that upfront. I'm not like you.

I don't believe what Tom Dick and Harry says, and I really don't care

what Peter, Paul and Mary's commentary has to say about these verses. I'm

just going to read first Peter chapter two, four through ten, and I'm

gonna let God give it to me both barrels right in the chest. I'm

not going to get emotional about what he says. I'm not going to have

an opinion about one he says. The only thing I'm going to do is

process what he says. Okay, That's all I'm gonna do. Is process

it, because I've believed it all wrecky before I've ever read it. So

that being said, and coming to him to a living stone which has been

rejected by men, but his choice and precious in the sight of God,

you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house

for a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifice acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

For this is contained in scripture. Behold, I lay in Zion a

choice stone, a precious cornerstone, and he who believes in him will not

be disappointed. This precious value, then is for you who believe. But

for those who disbelieve, the stone which the builders rejected, this become the

very cornerstone, and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense,

for they stumble because they are disobedient to the world and to this food.

They were also appointed. But you are a chosen people of a royal priesthood,

a holy nation of people for God's own possession, so that you may

proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of the darkness into his

marvelous light. For you were once not a people, but now you are

the people of God. And you had not received mercy, but now you

have received mercy. The first thing this does is tell me that we are

God's chosen people. And if you think there's somebody else, you're dead bang

wrong. You're dead wrong. Now, this, of course is but the

whole Bible says anyway, especially the most well. I can't say that one

of the most important books in the Bible concerning the rebuilding of the temple,

and that's ha. GOI. If you didn't know that, you need to

catch up. This is just echoing Romans chapters nine through eleven. There are

two types of people that are saved. First Jews that get saved, and

then gentiles that get saved, and in that order. Now that's what comes

out of his mouth. I really don't have any emotions about it. I

mean, that's just like saying that white is white and black is black.

It's like saying there's a sun and there is a moon. The people who

occupy and are citizens of the modern day Israeli Empire are not included. If

that offends you, these verses just told you. Why did I prick you

that you might bleed? I hope So, I mean, Matthew, it's

all in this symbolism too. You know, all throughout Israel there's all kinds

of symbolism of Satanic symbolism, all through their through their culture. Indeed,

indeed there is. It's no debating that. And we could talk about just

about to wits end about that, couldn't we. Yeah. They are in

every way, shape and session opposed to the Lord their God. And the

only way to come into alignment with the Lord their God is through the Lord

Jesus Christ. And that's what these verses just said. And they didn't mean

anything else, did they. Nope. I mean because ladies and gentlemen,

you need to take this to heart. Verse eight, Okay, you need

to really take this to heart if you believe something else. These verses are

about you, okay. And a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense,

for they stumble because they are disobedient to the Word and to this doube.

They were also appointed. Amen. Amen, Amen, Amen. You

know, ladies and gentlemen, let's try another couple of verses. That's just

two verses, right, I mean, how much damage could just two verses

do to your psychological makeup in Christianity? I mean, I hope it wouldn't

do too much damage to you. But you need to consider this. What's

coming out of your mouth is diametrically opposed to what is written in God's word.

You're dead bang wrong. And guess what something's been appointed for you.

Just so you know, I don't have anything to do with it. But

the Lord, he is God, and you're going to have a reckoning with

him, not with me, not with Leonard. You're going to have a

reckoning with him. So you need to understand it. So the First Corinthians

chapter three, sixteen to seventeen, when there's no real difficult thing about these

verses as far as grammar goes or etymology goes, it's really pretty straightforward.

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. Was there was there any beating around a bush with

that, Leonard? No? That, And that's what I'm saying. This

is what I'm saying. So I would show what different pastors this, and

I would say, well, prove to me that we're not. And you

can't they can't. No, of course they can't. They can't. And

and it varies. And you know, all these scriptures that you're going you're

reading, I've read before. That's help that got me to where I am.

Or because it's plain. It's it's so plain if you read it without

any bias, or you read it without any influence of of of the interpretations

of scriptures from other men, if you're just reading it and just believe in

it for what it's saying. It's so simple, man, because it's telling

you right then and there exactly what it is. And I don't know how

we got this far that the you know that we're at where we're at,

where people are believing that there's going to be this third Temple, And like

I was telling you, Matthew, I was just I believe that that's just

a plan of the enemy to deceive people. Because God isn't going to be

He's not going to be angry with the people that are there, the Jews

that are there that reject him. It's not going to be angry of a

building that they build. He's not because that's not where God resides. There's

you know, the devil's not going to be able to go you know.

I mean, yeah, the devil can go into men. You know,

people can be possessed. And if we're talking about defile and then it's the

filement of men you know, that are that don't have the spirit of God,

you know, that are possessed by a different spirit. You know.

But if we're talking about like a actual temple, and God's going to get

upset because the people that hate him build a temple, God isn't going to

be angry on that. You have to understand that Jesus Christ, his son,

is being rejected. That's blasphemous. Not the temple being built, it's

the rejection of Jesus Christ, which is blasphemous. Amen. Absolutely, Amen.

But these scriptures that you read are very simple. They're direct and to

the point. You can't get no direct by by Jesus, you know,

and and by his words saying that you are the temple of God. I

don't know how you can get around that. Well, you can't because it's

that elementary. It's just yeah, it really is that simple. It really

is that simple. You know. You're right. The scripture that says,

you know, he said, uh, you know, destroy this temple,

and I'll rebuild it in three days and the and the scripture plainly says,

and they didn't they didn't get it. They just outright rejected what he said,

right right. So I believe that same spirit that blinded those men are

it's the same spirit that's going on with with all this craziness that we have

today. It's craziness. Yeah, that's that's a good way to that's a

good way to put it. And it's it's it's scary because these so called

shepherds they're gonna share the same thing that the devil's gonna share, because that's

that. No, they're made in the devil's image. Oh my goodness,

Leonards, that really came out of your mouth, didn't it. They are

they're made in the devil's image because they're doing exactly what was done in the

garden. Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness, Leonardsmen, Amen, it

is as you say. I mean, even though they're harsh words, and

I wouldn't have I wouldn't have exactly put it that way. But amen,

well you have to understand that, you know, they're twisting up the words

of God. They're doing exactly they're a liar, and then the Bible says

that Satan is the other of all lives. So they're they're in their father's

image. The problem is he's no father. No he's not. That's why

they're going to go exactly where he's at. They're going to share that destruction.

That's right, And that's exactly what that verse said. They're in second

theater and to this doom. They were also appointed. Yeah, that's that's

exactly what it meant. And that's exactly what happens. I mean, if

you read the book to the end, that's exactly what happens. They are

thrown with him into the lake of fire. So what could these scriptures possibly

be talking about, because well, they get this from somewhere, right,

there's no doubt that they actually get this from Daniel Chapter nine, verse twenty

seven. Now, the thing about it is is that most translations don't come

out and say it. Let's try the KJV, because I don't need the

KJV. I can see the Hebrew. But anyway, let me flip over

here to the KJV, and it says, and he shall confirm the covenant

with many for one week, and in the midst of the week he shall

cause a sacrifice and oblation to cease, and for the over spreading of abominations,

he shall make it desolate until the consummation that determined shall be poured upon

the desolate. So this doesn't say, it doesn't say where it's at.

But believe me, I can see the Hebrew it's there. There is in

the middle of this verse. That's why some translations say on the wing of

the temple, but here it's in your strong concords that say it's thirty six

seventy one enough, it's kanough, it's wing or extremity. But that's where

this is coming from. Even though I have serious umbrage with all of that,

because let's break this down. Let's let's punch the core to what this

is saying. This covenant is the exact same covenant all the way up in

verse four. I don't think, I know, I know, I know.

Like I said, I can read in Hebrew, same word. This

verse is perfectly describing Messiah the Prince. Because that's exactly who this verse is

about. You can just jump up a couple of verses and read that.

Let's do that. We jump up here. Inside this it states very clearly

Messiah the Prince verse twenty six, Yeah does Verse twenty five, Messiah the

Prince. Because there's only one covenant and you don't need an archaeological degree to

know what the whole planet knows. Doesn't matter which hemisphere you go in.

Go to northern hemisphere, everybody knows it. Go to the southern hemisphere,

everybody knows it. Everybody knows. All archaeological evidence and textual evidence tells you

that the Lord Jesus Christ ministry with three and a half years, yeah does,

yah does not some of the physical evidence, all of the physical evidence.

When you know that, and you know that the Bible repeatedly states that

the tribulation is going to be for time's time and a half of time.

When you know that, and you know nobody's been able to deceive you that

you're not going to go anywhere during the tribulation except the place where God himself

prepares for you, you begin to understand what the Bible is talking about.

But what nobody wants you to understand. They want to keep you confused.

God is going to gather you together, That's what he literally says up teen

times, and you need to figure this out during the tribulation. You're going

to be just as safe, Leonard. D'reing to be just as safe as

that guy that he healed, that was laying you remember that guy? Yeah?

How about the How about the five thousand people that he fed? Let

me ask you something, Leonard, any one of those people? I got

even better when Leonard, you know the children that he laid his hands on

them and blessed them. Yes? Do you think the devil himself would have

dared even breathed upon those children? Oh? They were, of course,

of course Nanna. So do you think that the devil would have approached the

lame man and made him lame again? No? No, ladies and gentlemen,

your daft if you think that the most protected people on the planet was

the people that participated in the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ for three and

a half years. If you don't know that, you need to hint,

and that means you ain't got a clue. You don't have a flying ripping

clue. You don't have a clue, not a clue, Because I'm here

to tell you that we who are alive and remain at the tribulation trigger,

we don't have nothing to worry about. We don't have nothing to worry about.

Because God calls this place several different things. In Revelation chapter twelve,

he calls it a place prepared that he prepares for you. He also calls

this he calls it a vineyard. In one place. He also gives you

a different name because you're well. He calls you the sheep of his pasture.

And you need to know if you actually thought the Lord Jesus Christ was

not going to finish the seven year covenant that he made with you, It's

obvious to me you haven't studied the Bible, God's Holy Word from cover to

covert. I'm just telling you that because I can sit here and just rattle

him off the top of my brain. I mean I could literally do it

rapid fire. I could literally do it rapid fire. I mean, just

with the verses in Isaiah, it's in Ezekiel, it's in Micah, because

everybody know that that he says this many, many, many times. I

mean, here, let's try Ezekiel chapter thirty six, verse twenty four.

For I will take you from the nation, gather you from all lands,

and bring you into your own land. You see, if you've been deceived

that this happened in nineteen forty eight. Then deceived you are, because I

assure you that the Jesus hating citizens of the State of Israel, they are

not God's chosen people. That's actually blasphemy. You're actually stating that they're so

good they get to get to God the Father without the Son. That's heresy.

Yeah, it is, Yes, it is. If this is the

first time you've ever heard this, boy, you're way behind the curve.

You've been tricked by the devil him himself to think that somebody else is God's

chosen people outside of Christians. Well, you know, Matthew, that's kind

of something that's kind of new. Like you know when I you know,

when I've spoken with my Egyptian friends and they've never believed that right ever ever,

Yes, I know the Coptics, Yeah, because they're not in the

West, they're part of the Church of the East. That this garbage is

only in the West. Leonard, Yeah, that's the Leonard. A Coptic

would tell you that's heresy. You're you're a heretic if you say that God's

chosen people as anybody but a Christian and the Egyptian Coptics would believe be the

first to tell you, Oh, it don't matter what your nationality is.

You know, you can be on a Hawaiian and once you get saved,

your God's chosen people. So it really doesn't matter, because what does the

Bible say, covenor Kevin first for the jew then for the Jentole right,

everybody knows that, Leonard, don't say they don't. Don't say that the

dispensations don't know this because I'm gonna call you a liar. You know full

well they know that. They know full well what Romans chapters nine through eleven

says, don't they But yet they lie and preach something else. Well,

that's what I'm saying. That's something that's just over here. Like you know,

when I've talked to other people, you know, from that or not

from here, they don't believe that, you know, and it's you know,

it's a trip because you know, you know, obviously I was born

here and this is like what's being preached here everywhere everywhere you go, almost

every church, you know, But with the rest of the world, they

don't. They don't see it like that. Of course, they don't see

it that way because that's not what the Bible says, Leonard. I mean,

we're talking about what the Bible says. So let me let me put

this by you. Okay, let's just throw this by I'm gonna throw you

a curveball ball. Is that all right? Go ahead? So they're getting

from this that this is some physical structure. Will let's try this on for

size, This old war out scripture from Second Thessalonians chapter two. Let no

one in any way to see if you for it will not come unless the

acostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of

destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so called god or object of

worship, so that he takes his season the temple of God, displaying himself

as being God. Now you put this together with the other verses that we

just read. He is saying that he's God the Son. No, no,

there's only one God, the Son, that's the Lord Jesus Christ.

So if you put all the verses together, this is loudly describing that this

is what this great apostasy is. What verse that Second Thessalonians, chapter two,

verses three and four, it's saying that the stones, the precious stones

of God's temple would apostasize. That's what it's saying. It's saying that heretics

are the abomination of desolation. Let me say that again, Leonard, just

so you understand. If you want a God's chosen people, okay, and

you start worshiping some other entity that says that no ease God the Son,

he's part of the trinity, guess what that stone, that stone is the

abomination of desolation. Let's let's be very clear about this, Okay, let's

be very clear. Let's say I mean, I don't want to pick on

any church in particular, but let's say it's a it's a Wesleyan church.

Okay. When this time comes, this is what this is saying. Some

joker is going to stand up and he's going to say I'm Jesus Christ,

and he's going to say I can prove it, and he's going to perform

some miracles. And if those people in that wesley In church begins to worship

him, that's when these verses become dead bang, and they are an abomination

of desolation in God's body. Right. Yeah, that's that's all. That's

all. That's how always took that. So, like when we were talking

about the abomination of desolation, what you just said right now is how I

always interpret that you mean, And I've tried to explain that to people about

It's that you is your body is a temple, and that's that's the way

it can be that it can be. Uh, an abomination is through you.

Right, So that's what these verses are saying, one who apostasizes himself

is doing. You realize I can prove that in the court of law,

right, because I didn't even spoke about the Greek yet. So this creates

quite a conundrum, don't it. Because if you literally get invited to a

church and you say this in the pulpit, they're gonna kick you out.

You know that, right, So this creates quite a conundrum, doesn't get

Leonard. Yeah, but it's good to talk about these things to you know.

I do. I try to bring it up as much as I can.

Once I have relationships with different you know, pastors, this is one

of the things that I bring up to them. And yeah, I mean

when I show them the verses, they don't know what else to say.

Of course, they don't know what else to say because there's nothing else to

say except to say that the Bible's lying. That's the only thing they can

do. And they dare not say that, because then you could just get

out a sharpie and write on their fortad or on their forehead heretic or six

six six, whichever you wanted. Uh. Oh, I bet you didn't

see that coming, did you, Leonard? I bet you didn't know that.

I'm a pretty good when it comes with different types of linguistics, you

know, Leonard, have you ever heard anybody say this, Hey, I

wonder what would happen if we looked up the word heretic and a buffer a

bunch of different languages, especially ancient languages, and see if any of those

alphanumerics add up to six sixty six. You ain't never heard that, have

you? No? Why not, Leonard? Because they don't. They don't.

They don't even, Leonard. We've gotten to the point. They don't

even proclaim that the Bible is inspired, in errant, and infallible. They

they don't. Do you do realize that unifir don't say that anymore? Right?

So, when you know this, and when somebody says something like that,

people who have the ability to start researching the languages involved. I mean,

tell me, Leonard, what place in the Bible does it give you

a list of different languages that was used to do a particular thing? You're

all even cheat for you? Shall I cheat? Where was a place that

multiple languages was used and referenced to the Lord Jesus Christ? It was an

axe? Come on, Leonard, you really don't know well. I mean,

when they started speaking in speaking in tongues, they were giving glory to

God, and they all heard them in their own language. That's not what

I meant. Where was multi languages listed in reference directly to the Lord Jesus

Christ? You got me on that one when I When I say it though,

it's going to make you mad. Okay. Remember that epitaph that they

wrote somewhere and said that Jesus was the king of the Jews? Oh?

Yeah, where was that at that was on? That was? They put

that on the Christ? That's right, that's right in different language? You

know? Wouldn't you like to know which languages they were? Uh? Oh,

everybody's scrambling to find out, aren't. I'm way I'm anticipated know because

I've rattled everybody's cage because they didn't expect that to come out of my mouth.

But ladies and gentlemen, if you profess to be a Bible scholar and

you never put two and two together, that, hey, this is talking

about the great apostasy because we are the temple of the Lord Jesus Christ.

So if we apostasize the temple, that's right, that would mean that would

mean of course that we'd be marked for death. Right. Yeah, I

mean literally think about what I just said. What did they used to do

during you know, a thousand years ago, as ladies and gentlemen, they'd

write on your forehead heretic, Yeah they would, and you never thought to

put two and two together. Well, I wonder if you used any certain

language, if that would equal six to sixty six and alphanumerics if you need

a hint, you ain't got a clue. That's a fact. Well,

I think I think that Western Church at large really doesn't does and study the

alpha numerics of the language. And that's something that has been taught. They

don't even study Greek or Hebrew. I mean just first and foremost it's they

just study just King James and that's it. You know, that's about as

far as they go. They don't even study the Greek or Hebrew, let

alone the alpha numerics, you know, let alone the celestial bodies, well

alone the well you got that right. As far as they go is the

King James isn't going any further, or commentaries from Matthew Henry. Wow.

I mean, that's as far as the studying will go. It's just I've

read it from a different bunch of different commentaries and this is what it says,

and they don't even go through And if you bring up like the Hebrew

Greek, they look at you kind of like, okay. So I remember

it. One time I told this pastor that that, you know, I

like to study and try to get more information through the Hebrew and Greek,

and he was actually doing a sermonies, I better be careful what I say

because we have a Greek scholar in here, I'm like, And then he

looked at me and I kind of was like, what this is something we

were talking about when we had lunch, And all I said is like,

you know, I like to try to look at the Hebrew and Greek to

get a deeper understanding of what the verse is saying. And then he was

doing a sermon, and he said that. I was just like, Okay,

So what I'm saying is that they don't even They're not even thinking about

going to the alphanumerics at all, let alone They're they're not even thinking about

even going to the Greek or Hebrew led alone, Like I said, even

the study of the celestial bodies to them, that's like, then you're you

start talking about the stars. Oh my gosh, they look at you like

you're just you're a heretic. Wow. Well, let me read this for

you. Okay, you want me to read it for you, go for

it. Okay, Now listen, I just have to predicate it with this.

Okay, this is true, Denna se what I'm saying. So listen

very carefully to what said Pilot. Also, did I get your attention,

Tom Dick or Harry didn't write this, it says Pilot wrote it. Have

you ever had a preacher point that out to you, Hunard? No,

I mean I've only read three words, wake up, ladies and gentlemen.

Heilant also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written

Jesus the Nazarene, the King of the Jews. Therefore, many of the

Jews read this inscription for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city,

and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. So the

chief priest of the Jews were saying, the Pilot do not write king of

the Jews, but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

Pilot answered what I have written, I have written. So if you didn't

know that, that was directly pointing you to hey man, look, ladies,

gentlemen, if you didn't realize that the Great Apostasy was the abomination of

desolations because you don't you don't know how to conduct algebraic equations. Because I

assure you, Leonard, what is two plus two? It's for but no

matter, no matter what you do, it's for a lot of churches.

And I've brought this up before about the alpha numerics, and they think it's

like they think that you're doing some type of like magic or something when you

when you're adding everything up. No, No, that's what actually the Greek

is. That's what it actually does. It doesn't say, Leonard, you

need to tell these Matthew, don't lose your temper. You need to tell

these people that in Greek. Okay, what it was written in. It

does. There's no such thing as Arabic numerals. It's not. There's not

six six six, it's not three into Jersey. It's literally three Greek letters

that equal six sixty six. It is alpha numerics. No. I've explained

that to them, you know, and I've also explained, yeah, I've

also explained that that everything that God does, he does for purpose. And

God never does anything without a purpose. So when God chose to use these

languages, he chose it for a purpose, no matter how you use it,

every single because God is that detailed. You're cheating, Leonard. You're

cheating. You're you're saying too much. You're not catching what you're saying,

are you? You're not catching what you're saying? Leonard? What did I

say? I said, it's three letters that equals six sixty six, right,

right, Okay, so it's three letters that equals something else. How

many languages did the Bible say it was written in? It was written in

uh oh, and for the pilot, right, yeah, what pilot?

It was written in three? Right? Right? So that order might be

pretty important, right, uh oh. Now everybody's gears are really turning because

they're like, wait a minute, what's Matthew saying here? But you know,

I'm sorry if until now you've read the Bible like it's a novel.

I appreciate that Leonard said he'd go read all these different commentaries. I was

never allowed to read any commentaries when I was a child. I was only

allowed to read the Bible and encyclopedias. That's it, No, Matthew,

I didn't read the commentaries. I'm saying. This is as far as the

Christian Western Church go. As far as they go as their study is commentaries.

Okay, they don't even get it. That's what they do. They

don't even get into the Greek or Hebrew. They just read the King James,

or they read a commentary of a recent pastor that his interpretation of the

scriptures. Well, let's just consider this. I'll read it for you one

more time. Therefore, many of the Jews read this inscription for the place

where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew,

Latin and Greek. So ladies and gentlemen, Lord have mercy. Don't

you realize what these Jews were doing. Some of them were heretics and Hebrew.

Some of them were heretics in Latin and some of them were heretics in

Greek. Why because what did they say? Because they wanted Pilot to change

it and say no, right on there that he said he was king of

the Jews, and Pilots like, oh no, I fear God. I

wrote the truth. So you need to see what's being implied, because you

need to understand. Were gathered at that place? I don't think, I

know, I know, I know they were there to celebrate the week of

Passover, because passovers one day and then the whole week following it's the feast

of unleven bread. Amen, Leonard Amen. So there were Jews there that

spoke. Are you ready to hear the truth? What? Wake up?

Ladies and gentlemen. There were Jews there from different places, and those Jews

spoke Hebrew. Other Jews were there from the outparts of the Roman Empire,

and they spoke Latin. Other ones that had been Hellenized they were speaking Greek,

but all of them were Jews. Let me read it for you one

more time, and this time believe it. Man, This is a novel

idea. Ladies, gentlemen, what you try believing what God wrote here.

Listen very carefully. This time Pilot also wrote an inscription and put it on

the cross. It was written Jesus the Nazarene, being of the Jews.

Therefore many Jews who read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified

was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and

Greek. So the chief priest of the Jews were saying to Pilot, do

not write king of the Jews, but that he said, I am king

of the Jews. Pilot answered what I have written, I have written.

Now, if you didn't know this had anything to do with the abomination of

desolation and that where this was at, and why all these Jews, it

was clear the Jews were reading it, and the Jews were reading it in

three different languages, and didn't matter which language they were reading it in.

They were heretics, right, So they were reading it in the common language

that was around the Roman Empire, plus the language that you know they were

studying, Hebrew and in Greek. Well, take no, what's being implied

here is not that, Leonard. It's implying here that some of these people

were from Rome. So they read it. Those Jews had to read it

in Latin. Other Jews were probably from List, say Cappadocia. They read

it in Greek, and those Jews got mad. That's why it said it

was near the city. And you're already supposed to know. This is during

the feast. All these Jews, all the Jews that gathered at Jerusalem,

we spoke one of three languages, and all depending on which language you spoke,

determined which type of heretic you were. Do you understand what I'm saying

now? Yeah, so those three letters six thick is pretty important. Lord,

have mercy worth at the top of the hour, aren't we? I

can feel it. Yep, three minutes to go. Boy, that was

fast, woun't it. We got to We've got to do another part too

on this. Oh you want to drag more out of me? Huh,

yeah, no, we need to. I mean you realize we haven't even

really scratched. We haven't even scratched the verses pertaining to us being the body

of Christ. We haven't really even touched it. I mean I've said more

tonight than most people have ever heard of their life. I mean, they

had no idea that the inscription that Pilot wrote was this important. I mean,

they had had no idea that. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I

know that all the dispensationless what they say about second thing Timothy or second Thessalonians

chapter two. I know what they say. I know what the preterists say,

and this is a fact. They can't lie fast enough. Well,

one thing's for sure. I know what the Bible, God's Holy Word says,

and I'll read it again. This precious value, then is for you

who believe. But for those who disbelieve the stone which the builders rejected,

this became the very cornerstone. And a stone is stumbling in a rock of

the fence. For they stumble because they are disobedient to the Word and to

this doom. They were also pointed Leonard, I better get an amen out

of you. Amen. I'll just think it to myself, and it's pretty

scary. Amen, Windard Price out of here. Please, Oh, definitely,

Father, and the name of Jesus, Lord God, we just humbly

come to you right now, and we thank you, Lord God for your

word which brings edification, Lord God, which which is living water. We

thank you for giving us life, Lord God through your word. We pray

that the listener, Lord God, when they hear this, Lord God,

will be We hope that they will be agitated to go and search the scriptures

for themselves. Lord God, We hope that they will. We hope that

we will bring an offense to their belief or their wrong belief of what they

were taught, and it makes them Lord God, has them go search or

scrap like head treasures, Lord God, that it pricks their hearts to want

to know more. Lord God, Lord, we thank you for your word.

We thank you for your correction. We thank you for Lord God,

that you love us, Lord God so much that you open yourself to us.

Lord, and we pray, Lord God that we will be Lord God,

good vessels, Lord, good stones, Father, to be placed in

your kingdom. Lord Lord, we love you, and we thank you.

Be with the listener, Be with Matthew and his family. Lord God,

be with everybody out there, Lord God that is experienced any type of difficult

times right now, just allow them to give them peace, quietness, the

peace that it can only come from your spirit. Lord God. Lord,

We thank you until next time, and if you allow us to be here,

Lord God, and next time that we will learn again, and we

will glorify you in Jesus name. Amen. Thank you man, and Amen.
