042 PR Campaign 2B

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, Jose and Matthew. Tonight, we're going to start a series

that stems from necessity. Jose is having to do these shows remotely, so

we've decided to do a PR campaign. That probably took you by surprise.

The best way to conduct public relations is through prophecy review. That's a fact.

I figured this out in an institution of higher learning. Didn't take me

very long at all for me to realize that I could use psychology to the

best of my advantage to perpetuate the promises of God. So Jose and I

are just going to be giving overviews into prophecy. That's the best way to

put up. But the more I got to thinking about it, I thought

to myself, we ought to name these prs because that's what they are.

These are PR campaigns. So I asked Jose a question today. I'm going

to have him relate to you what that question was and why he thought we

should talk about this. So, Jose, you got the mic, all

right, Matthew. So's last time we got on. We spoke about prophecy

and about how it's important and how my reading of the Bible has has transitioned

to try to understand all of the Bible through prophecy, because we've been told

that God repeats himself continuously. He chases after what he had done, and

he does that so that we will know what is to come his church,

that he is preparing to become a bride fir a son. We have to

know what is to come, because otherwise we'll go to the left, but

we'll go to the right. We won't stay on that narrow path if we

don't know one. We don't know what has been, we don't know what's

coming, So we don't know what we're supposed to walk walk through. We

don't know how we're supposed to walk if we don't know what is to come.

Matthew. So, as I've been reading through, I mean, I'm

I've shared everyone that that I'm I'm you know, being real disciplined in my

Bible reading, trying to get through the Bible instead of you know, just

studying specific chapters and and and studying that way. So as I'm reading through

it, Matthew, what I find continually is, you know, I start

I start reading, it's, oh, this sounds perfect, this sounds like

what I'm reading in the book Revelation. And so as I'm reading it,

though it's it's it's telling me. It's telling me that every all this prophecy

is is for me what I'm supposed to be doing. It's not. It's

not telling me what I'm supposed to be pointing out to what the other non

believers are doing, or what the lost are doing. And so that that's

been striking me as I'm reading through the Bible, that the one that God

is going to hammer the most is those in the church. Matthew. Again,

we we've we've talked about it as being the sons of disobedience, those

that know what they're supposed to be doing but aren't doing that, aren't following

the ten Commandments, aren't following the be attitudes. And so if you don't

read Prophecy in that way, that you're either reading it as a son of

disobedience or you're reading it as a child of the promise. Boy, you're

going to miss a whole lot about what God has to tell us, Matthew.

And so if you read that prophecy that way, I think it helps

you. It helps you prove the Bible is true because there's no confusion,

there's no misunderstandings. There's no well, I thought that that Isaiah said this,

but now Daniel saying something else. But Revelation have to be talking about

this other thing, completely different. There's no there's nothing that connects them.

But if you if you can kind of understand and that God is talking to

you, he's being all these prophets he's laying out is for you, then

you know that even when you get to the end of the book, it's

a whole long chain of God telling you what is to come. And we've

repeated uself, Matthew, it's not about God didn't write the Bible to consume

us. He wrote it to help us to understand what it's to come through

our teacher, which is the Holy Spirit. And then you get into well,

how can the Holy Spirit reside in you if you're if you're being a

son of disobedience, then there's no way the Holy spirit can work, he

can't work through you, and therefore he can't work in you, Matthew,

he can't. He can't teach you anything if you're acting in that manner.

And so that's that's what I'm hoping that that we can kind of convey one

of the importance of prophecy, and two that that God is laying out this

prophecy for you, not for anybody else. And that's a very good thing

to do. You know. Let me read here from a Wikipedia article,

all right, I mean, I'm just straight here from Wikipedia article entitled Bible

prophecy. So this is how they put it, and it's pretty good.

Profits in the Bible, often more in the Israelites, to repent of their

sins and adulteries with the threat of punishment or reward, they attribute both blessings

and catastrophes to God. According to believers in Bible prophecy, later biblical passage,

especially those contained in the New Testament, contain accounts of the fulfillment of

many of these prophecies. Now, this is actually a good place to start,

because you're right now, I'm going to reward this into the truth because

actually that last statement should be stricken from this record because up until that last

point you would have thought that this was Jewish in nature. Amen, Amen,

I hope I pricked you, ladies and gentlemen, that you might bleed,

because you need to know that Romans nine through eleven, and everything that

came out of Jesus mouth, everything this ever came out of God mouth says

this. The Old Covenant has been obliterated. We are in the New Covenant,

and the New Covenant states this, There's only one way to obtain your

reward, and that is through the Lord Jesus Christ. Anything else that anybody

ever receives from him will be recompense. We say that again, only through

the Lord Jesus Christ will you obtain reward, because if you're not in the

Lord Jesus Christ, you will receive a recompense. And just so you know

what that means, the English word recompense comes from the word to compensate.

You need to know that. That's why, repeatedly in the Bible, God's

Holy Word, the word recompense is used against the wicked, just so you

know. So that's a very good place to start, but we need to

rephrase that. This is how it should be the prophets in the Bible,

God's Holy Word often warn the children of Israel to repent of their sins and

idoltereries with the threat of punishment or reward. They trip you both reward and

recompense to God. According to believers in Bible prophecy, later biblical passages,

especially those contained in the New Testament, contain accounts of the fulfillment of many

of these prophecies. The rest of these prophecies are yet to be fulfilled.

This is a true statement the way I put it. That's true. And

you need to understand this, that it has overran the church, this idea

that for some strange reason, all of the ten lost tribes of Israel they'll

all be reintegrated into the tribe of Judah. No, no, that's not

true. That's not true at all. Every Body who comes into salvation through

the Lord Jesus Christ, they become the children of Israel. Yes, they

do. So it's very important that that you really do understand that the whole

reason why, not only Bible prophecy was written, but the Bible, God's

Holy Word as a whole. It is written for you personally. And it

blows my mind how ninety nine of the percent of the people that I talk

to that are called by His name. Let me prick you that you might

bleed again because they may or may not be Orthodox, or they may or

may not be Methodists, they may or may not be Baptist or Pressed.

But I don't give a find writ what you call them, because once they

are born again, they are referred to as born again. So ninety nine

the percent of the people that are called by His name, that's the last

thing on earth that they believe. The last thing on earth they believe is

that the Bible was actually written for them, that all of this trouble.

Do you have any idea how much trouble it took to deliver the Bible,

God's Holy Word into your personal hands? Do you have any idea? Do

you have any idea the untold number of martyrs? I mean, you have

no idea. And until you realize that not only is the most at tested

person in history is the Lord Jesus Christ. There are a thousand times more

documents attributed to the Lord Jesus Christ than any other figure period. And I

mean Caesar, I mean the Pope. Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about

Napoleon. Now, jose would you not call Napoleon one of the greatest known

figures in history? Yeah? Absolutely. All the documents that are attributed to

the historical evidence for Napoleon is minuscule as compared to the Lord Jesus Christ.

It's minuscule compared to Christ. Once you wrap around your brain, ladies and

gentlemen, he went through all this trouble to save you, Not Tom Dick

or Harry, not Peter, Paul or Mary. He literally sacrificed himself for

the one lost sheep. Is that not true? Did that not come out

of his own mouth? Jose, Amen, Matthew, that's what he said.

So, ladies and gentlemen, you need to look at the Bible in

a whole new light. He wrote it for you, and the last thing

on earth he did was come down here from heaven and spread out his hands

as far as he could and nailed them to a cross to confuse you.

It's the last thing on earth he did. He wrote it to inform you

as to what your situation was, what it is, and what it shall

be. And that is all determined once you know it. It's all determined

off what you do because you can either receive reward from him or recompense.

And he is very blatant about that fact, extremely and about it. He

makes himself perfectly clear. But Jose is right. You first need to know

that he's talking to you. He's talking to you personally. And this is

the main reason why most people study Bible prophecy, because this stems from the

simple fact that the number one fear, and psychologists has known this for decades,

the number one fear everybody is afraid of, from womb to tomb,

is this the unknown. It's the number one pervading fear is a fear of

what is to come, not knowing what's right up in front of them.

Now, Jose, is that why you study Bible prophecy? I know,

Matthews, that's not I want to make well one thing to get to add

to your point on that, Matthew, there's there's been people that that that

I've I guess you'd call them news broadcasters that that I've spoken with people that

have extreme wealth, and you would think that they would be set. Matthew,

Right, we're talking about billionaires. You know that, Well, they

they have enough money to last a thousand lifetimes. Let alone their own lifetime.

But the number one thing that that that the baker that deal with those

individuals say is that they're worried about their money being taxed. They're worried about

some type of inflation or some type of devaluation of their money, and so

they go through all kinds of trickery to try to hide this money or try

to put it safeguarded, anything they can do so that it's there for them

in their in their future. Know in full will, Matthew, what they

could do with all that money in terms of benefiting their fellow man, right,

And so it goes to that exact psychological condition that you're speaking of,

that people have that fear of the unknown, fear of what is to come,

and that drives them to ignore just just the simple, the simple fact

of you know, eighting your neighbor that's in need. You ignore that because

you're worried that, well, I might need this dollar in the future.

To know, Matthew, that is not why I study Bible prophecy. I've

never had that fear, and I don't know why I've never had a fear

of what, you know, where I'm going to get my next meal?

A fear of whether or not, you know, I'm going to be able

to pay the this month. You know I've had I've had faith and trust

that God will take care of me regardless of what my financial situation is,

regardless of what condition my household is in. I had that faith. And

so because of that, Matthew, when I studied bibleth prophecy, I studied

it in order to prove that the Bible is true. In other words,

if I can, if I can read the book Revelation and understand what it's

saying by going back and and and and knowing, knowing all the other biblical

chapter and verse by heart, knowing that, okay, when God is saying

this in the sixth chapter of Revelation, this is what he's talking about.

It's not He's not pulling it out of thin air. He told us about

it in Genesis, he told us about it in Fir Samuel, he told

us about it in Isaiah, all the way down the line. And Matthew

acts Hebrews all the way down the line. It's it's a solid chain of

him repeating himself. And so that's why I started reading Bible prophecy. Matthew,

that's that's why I wanted to understand the Bible in order to prove that

it was true. And of course, I mean, prophetcy is just a

big hook, Matthew. Yeah, you start trying to figure out what is

to come. I mean that's exciting to me. I don't know. I

don't know about other people, but when I start getting into prophecy and start

trying to figure out what God's telling me about what is to come, about

his great day, his great and terrible day, when he's trying to tell

me about the prood year of Christ and what the hell the millennial kingdom is

going to be set up? Boy, Matthew, I just I just can't

stop reading. You know, I can't stop clicking on those YouTube links that

talk about prophets, even though most of them are way off base. But

it's just like you just can't get enough it because I just want that one

little pidbit that's gonna help me to understand prophecy, understand how my Bible is

true. You know, that's that's kind of alarming that you didn't study Bible

prophecy to find out what's coming. Have you ever heard anybody else say that's

why they study Bible prophecy. Just you, Matthew, just when I stalk

with you. Let me drive this home. Ladies and gentlemen, Jose is

the very first person that I ever heard say that. He's the only one

that I've ever heard that said the reason why they studied Bible prophecy was so

that they could prove the Bible was true to other people. That's exactly why

I studied Bible prophecy, because it was going to be a way for me

to connect with other people. Because, ladies and gentlemen, that's all I'd

do. All I do is study the facts. Now, take note that

is largely to blame upon the people who raised me, because I wasn't allowed

to waste my time. When I was growing up, I could read one

of two things, the Encyclopedia or the Bible. That's it. That was

my options. We had the World Book Encyclopedias, and we had Encyclopedia Britannica,

and believe me you, by the time I was twelve, I'd read

through all of them. So the problem was is that when I would talk

with people who are called by his name, that was the last thing on

our they wanted to talk about. Now, let me ask Hose, so

jose. Whatever you get around guys, right, you have a guy outing,

whether it be you know, you're having a cookout whatever. Let's say

a barbecue. Right, that's a great big one that that guys like to

do. They like to barbecue. One of the top three things that that

men will talk about. Top three. Well, they're going to talk about

sports. They're never they going to talk about some type of automobile, truck,

trailor tractor whatever. And then and if you just guide Matthew, didn't,

you can start talking about women and in that order. Correct, correct,

that's common knowledge, literally in that order. And most of the time

these things interact with the thing, the object, and the action. Let

me explain, this isn't my first rodeo. So the most important sport they're

going to talk about is the one they went to or the one they watched

right right. When it comes to the vehicle, the primary thing they want

to discuss with you is the most recent thing they've done in the vehicle.

For example, if they talk about a boat, they're going to tell you

about the last time they went fishing. Amen. Amen. If they have

a sports car, they'll talk about the last time they broke the speed limit,

or more importantly, the short amount of time it took them to get

to the place they were going. Now that I've said that, now it's

come out of my mouth. All you guys are just looking at your shoes,

aren't you, because you know you know, I just literally left the

cat of the bag, right, Jose. Right, I needed a wake

to connect with people, Jose, because all that's garbage to me. Yes,

Look, you and I both know that. One time it was the

weekend of the Super Bowl and you and I got to talking before the broadcast

and I didn't even know. Not only did I not know the super Bowl

was being played, it was literally miles from my house, right right,

ladies and gentlemen, I don't waste my breath because I understand that my breath

is from the Lord, my God. I don't need oxygen. I don't

need food. I don't I don't need nothing. My psyche and my soma

uh in Greek, that's my mind. In my body is animated by the

breath of God. And when he takes it from me, I'm dead.

And just like the two witnesses, if he decides to put it back in

me, that's when I'm alive. So I don't waste my breath. I

don't waste my breath. I don't talk about garbage. I just don't.

So I needed a way to connect with people, and I, being a

scholar of psychology, once I stumbled across this fact that the number one fear

of every person that ever lived is the fear of the future, the fear

of the unknown. What's gonna happen, What's gonna happen, what's gonna That's

a natural instinct. This is why God sends prophets. Did you know that

God doesn't send rocket scientist Jose? Nope, No, no, no,

he don't. Did you know that he don't send coaches? Oh, my

goodness, ladies and gentlemen. He don't send padillacs either, No, he

doesn't, Jose. Does God care about what you're driving? And no,

Matthew. So, so you're saying that when you get to the judgment seat,

he's not going to ask you how many vehicles you had? No,

he's not. Now, he don't care. So that's why I studied Bible.

Prophecy was a way to prove to people that the Bible is true.

The Bible is God's Holy Word. So you know that's why I study everything

else, psychology, physics, sound, I mean everything. Literally, this

is true. The only reason why I ever looked into any of the science

says was because the Bible led me to do so. It never entered my

mind that the Bible was not true. The only thing that ever entered my

mind was how is it true? How is what God just said? How

is that true? That's the only thing I ever did. That's the truth.

So this is very important that people know that it was written for them,

Jose, There's nothing more important. So share with us your thoughts you

know about that. How can we best relay to them that this has been

written for them? Well, I think, I think, Matthew, all

you have to do is it is this feed the Bible. I mean,

look, I was reading through through first time of this week, and we

know the story of Saul. Right, God said, you don't need a

king. He'll know, he'll send judges to help, he'll know, he'll

do this, he'll do that. They had Samuel in their midst, which

we all know how great of a prophet Samuel was, and yet they still

wanted the king. So God gave them what they wanted. He gave them

solved, even though he warned them what would happen, And even when he

did that, Matthew, I'm going to read here out out of First Samuels,

chapter twelve, starting in verse thirteen. Now, therefore, period the

king whom you have chisen, whom you have asked for, And behold,

the Lord has said a king over you. If you will fear the Lord

and serve him, and listen to his voice, and not rebel against the

command of the Lord, then both you and also the king who reigns over

you will follow the Lord, your God. If you will not listen to

the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the command of the Lord,

then the hand of the Lord will be against you, as it was against

your father. Now, Matthew, how many Christians today, especially in America,

we hear complain about our leadership, complain about the direction that they're taking

it. When if we just follow what God just said there and and for

Samuel, he said, he says, you and your king, whoever whatever

king is set up over at Matthew, if we just follow that come up

what God wants us to do, then that king is going to do the

same Matthew. I mean, and and I know people like to read that,

read those old tests and books. It's history. But boy, Matthew,

I just can't help but knowing that God is not only telling me what

happened there for Samuel. He's not only telling me what is to come when

Jesus says up the millennial Kingdom. He's telling me what I need to do

today right now that a God offen to the it's of criminal and and and

you could take any passage of the Bible map you and do that exact same

thing. Don't read it saying oh wow, boy, those these are like

they screwed up again. Boy theirs their knuckleheads got God. God will be

straightened them out, didn't he. And if you read it that way,

then you're never going to relate it to to what God's trying to tell you,

your yourself, your your own personal fellow. So that that's that's where

I would that, that's where I would start. You know, well,

that's a good place to start. And why would that be? Why would

the thing tell the truth if all the citizens tell the truth. Let's think

about that for a minute, Jose Let's think about that for a men,

let's reduce this to the lowest common denominator. Tell me, jose, if

you know that your wife is going to tell the truth of the time to

your mother. Uh, oh, now everybody's on my page real quick.

If your wife is going to tell your mother the truth one hundred percent of

the time, are you ever going to dare lie to your mother? No,

Matthew, And I can tell you that from personal experience. My wife

is one of the most cutworthy persons around and she does not lie. And

if you lie to her, it generally hurts her. She doesn't just write

it off as you know, an occurrence. And so knowing that about my

wife, Matthew, boy, I anytime that thought even entered my brain to

lie to her, that it just it wasn't just that, you know,

it was going to be a white lie and be dismissed. No, it

was it was there was gonna be severe repercussions when I lie to her.

So just just from that, I mean, and and that's exactly what it's

saying there, right, Matthew. If you do what the Lord wants you

to do, if you follow that commandment do not lie, as my wife

follows it, well, then then I I can't. I can't lie,

Matthew, I just can't and not not if I want to stay married.

Right. Well, that's right, So that that's that's the driving factor is

her. Her honesty forces me to be truthful and honest, because there's no

way I can I can stand in front of her and and and and be

caught in cotton lie. Essentially, that's right because everybody knows who the arbitrator

is of any husband, and that's his mother, right, Damen, This

is common knowledge. No matter where you were born, the ultimate judge is

your mother. And if you know, there's no hope that your wife is

going to cover up for you and hide it for you, no man would

lie to their mother, right, And this is true. We can extend

this out. I mean, this passage, says King. Amen. Amen,

it's just let's just translate it to today. How about the president.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, guess what if the president knew that every citizen

would never lie and only tell the truth, You bet your bottom dollar,

the last thing on earth they would do would be to violate the Constitution.

Right, Jose, Right, So this passage really makes crystal clear now that

it is written for not only you, It's written for your entire situ because

you know, ladies and gentlemen, the circumstances may change, but the situation

never changes. You know, everybody puts their pants on one leg at a

time, right yep? Have you ever seen anybody tie both shoes at once?

Nope, that's because that is the human situation since the fall. Your

circumstances can change. Sometimes you have to tie your shoes, other days you

just slip them on. But this is true. You'll put them on one

at a time, So everyone you need to know that. But everything that's

written in the Bible was written there for you and to teach you about one

of two things, because there is nothing else. Now. Look, I

don't care how much you make. I don't care how much you think that

you're worth, because a lot of you will mistakenly attribute your net worth to

your value and those two things are not even remotely similar. Your net value

has no worth at all. So you need to know this. Your outcome

is one of two things. I'll say it again, just to make sure

it's crystal clear in your mind. You will receive either reward or recompense both

things from the Lord. Your God, you will never ever receive nothing from

him, because you will receive what you are doing. Amen. How was

I? Amen? Man? Amen? And this is what it always says,

no matter where you go. Now, I appreciate you reading from Samuel.

I appreciate that. Does Fi Lehman say anything different? Nope? How

about first Kings? Nope? And I'll say the thing d aew, how

about Daniel chapter nine? You know, it amazes me. Now most people

don't even they're not even aware that probably will know for certain, the most

looked about prophecy in the Bible is the second section of Daniel, which is

the Apocalypse visions chapters seven through twelve. The only thing that's looked more about

in Bible prophecy is the Prorov Revelation in the New Testament. But there you

find out exactly why God gives all those prophecies. And it's not you know,

it's not in verse eighty seven. It doesn't take you, you know,

two hours to read. It's in the very first section of Daniel chapter

nine. I mean, it's very simple, it's not hard at all.

I think I'll give it a read now. It gives some historical stuff here

and it names names, and it names places, and archaeology has proven all

of these things. Just so you know, as a matter of fact,

the head of Old Testament literature in the university that I attended, he had

literally with his own hands, participated in some of those digs in the middle

least. So anyway, right from the top, let's find out why all

these Let's find out why the entire apocalypse vision section of Daniel was even written,

because the first chapters, the first six chapters are better just ignores,

that's just historical junk, right, Let's find out why the apocalypse visions were

given Daniel, Chapter nine and verse one. In the first year of Darius,

the son of our Zuris of Median descent, who was made king over

the kingdom of the Kaladeans. In the first year of his reign, Eye

Daniel observed in the books the number of years which was revealed as the word

of the Lord to Jeremiah, the prophet for the completion of the deaths relations

of Jerusalem, namely seventy years. So I gave attention to the Lord God

to seek him by prayer and supplications. With fasting and sackcloth and ashes.

I prayed to the Lord, my God, and confessed and said, alas

o, Lord, the great and awsome God, who keeps his covenant and

loving kindness for those who love him and keep his commandments. We have sinned,

committed iniquity, acted wickedly, and rebelled, even turning aside from your

commandments and ordinances. Moreover, we have not listened to your servants, to

prophets who spoke in your name, to our kings, our princes, our

were fathers, and all the people of the land. Righteousness belongs to you,

o Lord, but to us open shame as it is this day.

Now you know why the apocalypse visions were given to Daniel. And take note

he willingly admitted. He willingly admitted that this was all coming from Jeremiah.

Now it blows me away when I say that, because most people who've been

studying Bible prophecy for twenty years, they think the only two things you need

to study is the apocalypse vision section of Daniel in the book Revelation. Right,

ose, right, when Daniel just said with his own mouth, all

that stuff is going to come from Jeremiah, and all of this stuff is

because we have sinned, committed iniquity, acted wickedly and rebelled, even turning

aside from your commandments and ordinances. Moreover, we have not listened to your

servants, the prophets who spoke in your name, to our kings, our

princes, our fathers, and all the people of the land. Tell me,

Hose, what does that last phraseology mean in Hebrew? I mean,

does that mean lottie? Dottie everybody? Yep. So, ladies and gentlemen,

if you think that understanding Daniel is of para mountain porness importance, you're

hopelessly clueless. Because Daniel himself said, by the way, you've got to

understand Jeremiah before you can understand anything given to me. He willingly said that

with his own mouth. Amen. Amen, Matthew yep. And it directly

pertains to you, and I mean you personally, whoever you are, wherever

you are, because Bible prophecy was written for you so that you can either

be rewarded or recompense, because as one or the other. The other thing

I'm seeing here, Matthew is you have Daniel here studying prophecy through Jeremiah,

and because of that he's able to deliver what is to come to us now

we read it and we say, oh, that's that's the prophecy of Daniel.

But for all intentive's purposes, he's he's telling us what is to come.

But he understood that by reading Jeremiah. And I think that's the same

way we're supposed to read prophecy, so that we can share it not only

with with the ecclesia, but also to share it with with our children,

Matthew, so they know what is to come. So in the event that

the Lord takes us home and doesn't let us see his great day, we've

got we've got to prepare our children for what is to come. And the

only way we're gonna do that is by studying prophecy in the Bible and knowing

what is to come. So I think this is an exactly excellent chapter to

show people, Hey, you've got other prophets here that weren't just relying on

the Holy Spirit, weren't just relying on you know, an angel coming down

and telling them what's gonna come. They actually were listening to the prophet that

came before them. I want to point something out, is that all right,

yep, places gentlemen, Why isn't that the very first thing Danie'll tell

you was when. I mean, because everything that I read, most people

only concentrated on what was stated in verse three. They completely ignore the first

two verses. I mean, ladies and gentlemen. This massively important chapter,

which details the seventy weeks prophecy starting in verse twenty four. It's not how

it starts. It starts out win in the first year who and doesn't just

say who, It says who wasn't where? So Darius the son of Ahazarus

and what was he? He was a meeting to say where? I mean,

did ever? Did everybody miss that? That? He gave you?

Who? What? Where? When? Why? That's what this is all

about, the five ws. Does everybody know how to study literature? The

five ws? He gives you everything you know. Let's let's talk about the

seventy weeks. I think this will this will be I think this will be

pretty good, well for for just extracurricular purposes. Let's just say that,

so you know the seventy weeks down there, starting in verse twenty four.

Jose right, So let me ask you something, So maybe maybe we should

just read those Alissa, do you got Daniel Chapter seven available? Daniel feat

or Daniel Knight. Daniel Knight, I'm sorry, yes, I do,

okay? Read forrests Verse twenty four. Seventy weeks have been decreed for your

people and your holy city to finish the transgression, to make an end of

sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to

seal a vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy place. That's

pretty easy, right, right? And it's pretty honest. That is he

talking about weeks? Here? Is he talking about years? Those weeks?

He never said years? Diddy? No? And I mean, let me

read the next one. So you are to know and discern that from the

issuing of a decree of restored in Brea Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince, there

will be seven weeks and sixty two weeks. So based on this the point

of time we're talking about, it's got to be years, right, It

can't be weeks? Right? Yeah? So how many times have I said

the word weeks and how many times have I said the word years? Let

me ask you something, So, how many weeks are in a year?

Fifty two weeks in a year? Wow? You know that quick, don't

you? Yeah? Wow? I was right off the top of your head.

I mean that was bad. It was right, there, wasn't it.

Yep? That's amazing. So, so riddle me how many days it

is? Fifty two times seven? How many days is that? That's the

end of sixty four? Right, that's right now? Three hundred and fifty

four. That's that's pretty important number right there. So how many days are

in a lunar year? Do you know that? Not my head, Matthew,

No, okay, you got a calculator, yep. Okay, So,

so you do know that the lunar cycle is twenty nine point five days?

Right? Correct? Okay? What's twenty nine point five? I don't

know times twelve? Three fifty four. What's the relationship between three fifty four

and three sixty four? How many days different? Ten days? So I

got your attention now, right, yes you do? Let me ask you

something else. So, so, if this being true, right, how

many sevens? Let me ask you this another way because I know it's going

to confuse your kids. You can't see it, Jose, you can't see

it. Right. If you take a year and divide it by seven,

how many days are you going to have? So? So is one seventh

of a year. Is it going to be like two months? There's gonna

be three months. How how many days are going to be in one seventh

of a year on a on a loolar year, No, on just just

a regular year. We said, uh, three hundred and sixty four right

right? Uh huh? So so how long would one seventh of a year

be? You don't know, do you? No? I have to do

a little bit of math. I already told you the math. No,

actually told me the math. You're the one that told me fifty two right,

Yeah, that's your two times seventh is right? Right? So how

much would one seventh be? How many days? Fifty two days? That's

that's right? Did I blow your mind, ladies and gentlemen, Because I

can see time itself. If there's fifty two weeks, that means there's fifty

two days in one seventh of a year. You should see. When I

asked this in a classroom setting or from the pulpit, ladies and gentlemen,

people are like, wait a minute. What. I've actually had people get

upset just exactly in this situation. I've had people say no, you're lying

when they're the one that told me they're the ones that informed me there was

fifty two weeks in a year, but state and had hidden it from them

that they're the ones that told me how many sevens were in a year,

So how many days must be in those sevens? Look, ladies and gentlemen,

if you take a year, I know I've blown the time your head

off. If you take a year and divide it into sevenths, you're going

to have fifty two days in each seventh of a year. What I'm telling

you is true. It's true, It really is true. And the reason

why I know that it's true, we'll go back up to the five ws.

Okay, for some strange reason, Jose and I we didn't study Bible

prophecy because we were afraid of the future. We study Bible prophecy to prove

that the Bible was true. So that's why I concentrated on the first two

verses before I ever even remotely looked at the proceeding verses. Who, what,

Where? When? Why? So, now that we've said that,

and gentlemen, I want to have Jose go ahead and read. I mean

it's not very long, right, I mean third times charm right, I

mean, surely just to add a fourth verse on here can't be bad,

right, I mean verses twenty four through twenty seven, just four verses.

But now that I've said that, Jose, go ahead and read it.

Go ahead and read that last stanza. Seventy weeks have been decreed for your

people and your holy city to finish the transgression, to make an end of

sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to

seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy place. So

you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore

and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the print there will be set seven weeks and sixty

two weeks it will be built again with plaza and mote, even in times

of distress. Then after the sixty two weeks, the Messiah will be cut

off and have nothing, and the people of the Prince who is to come

will destroy the city and the sanctuary, and its end will come with the

flood. Even to the end, there will be war. Desolations are determined,

and he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week,

but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and

grain offering. And on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate,

even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed is poured out on

the one who makes desolate. You know, I'm gonna take this from another

angle. Okay, I'm gonna do something again. You're not expecting, ladies

and gentlemen, because well, that's just what I do, because it's just

what I do. It says this seventy weeks have been decreed for your people.

You know, I don't even have to give commentary. I'm just gonna

read it. Mark, chapter seven, verse twenty seven. He is not

the god of the dead, but if the living, you are greatly mistaken.

But let me say that again, you are greatly mistaken. That's what

the verse says. So you need to know this, ladies and gentlemen,

This absolutely pertains to you. And this is pretty important. Okay, you

need to understand that Jose just read made it perfectly clear that we already Daniel,

Daniel already knew how long the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ was going

to be. And all archaeological finds, all of them that's ever been done

proves that all historical documentation proves that that his ministry was three and a half

years. And that's what these verses just said. And you need to know

that God is going to finish this. The Lord Jesus Christ is most certainly

going to finish this this covenant. Three and a half years is already gone

by, So you got three and more half years to go, right,

Jose correct. And you need to know that God is not the God of

the dead. Okay, so you need to know that if you are alive

and remain at the kickstart of the tribulation, you are going to be the

many that he finished this is this covenant with As a matter of fact,

you need to know this. All these calculations I just gave you, and

I even confused my dearest brother, I had him confused. He told me

he's the one that told me that the factors of three sixty four, well

that was seven and fifty two. That was a factoring pair of the number

three sixty four. So I understand it that all these numbers and everything that

was just in these you know, for very short verses, have you confused?

But you better figure this out right now because the Lord he is God,

and if you are alive and remain at the kickstart of the tribulation,

you're gonna finish that last three and a half years. And he gives you

that calculations in every way he can, just in case you're doe, because

he says forty two months, right, Jose Yes, he says one thousand

or sixty days, don't he? Jose, Yes, he does. He

even tells you time times and half a time, doesn't he. Jose?

Yes. He tells you every which way to Sunday, making sure you understand

that he really does. You better figure out where you're at because you need

to know this all pertains to one of two things, your reward or your

recompense. That's why you need to study Bible prophecy, because you're going to

have just one shot, just one. You're gonna have just the same shot

that that lame man had. Amen, Jose Amen, Matthew, you're gonna

have that same shot as that cyril Phoenician woman. It says in some translations,

Amen, Amen, how about that man that was born blind? Yeah,

okay, I've got you all confused, and that's evidence within me because

of the spirit of God, I can you didn't know that, did you.

You didn't know that the spirit of the Lord could just reach out like

that out of placing, out of time, because his throne set it upon

time and space. Yeah, he can do that. Are you in the

archive and am I rattling your cage? That's because the Lord, he is

God, and you can take this to the bank. He is mine and

I am his, and his banner over me is love. Some sadducees who

say there is no resurrection came to Jesus and began questioning him, saying,

Teacher Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves behind a

wife and leaves no child, his brother should marry the wife and raise up

children to his brother. And there were seven brothers, and the first took

a wife and died, leaving no children. The second one married her and

died, leaving no children, and the third likewise, and so all seven

left no children. Last of all the women died also in the resurrection.

When they rise again, which one's wife will she be? For all seven

had married her. Jesus said to them, it's not the reason you're mistaken

that you do not understand the scripture or the hour of God for win their

eyes from the dead. They neither marry nor give it a marriage, but

are like the angels in heaven. But regarding the fact that the dead rise

again, have you not read the Book of Moses, in the passage about

the burning bush, how God spoke to him, saying, I am the

God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You

are greatly mistaken, jose Please pray us out of here. You're in heavenly

Father, who we love and serve. Once again, I thank you for

drawing us together. I thank you for gathering us to study your word,

and I thank you for allowing time and space for the Ecclesia to try to

understand what you to try to understand what you have promised us. To try

to understand the way that you have shown that promise through your son. Try

to understand the way you have given your profits to demonstrate what is to come.

Lor It is through that that we can use your word as a lamp

unto our feet, to light our way, to guide us to the lost,

to guide us to the lost sheep, and to allow us to be

sought on this earth. And Lord, that's what I ask as we study

this prophecy, as we study what you have shown us in your word,

I asked that it be put to use to draw more people to your Son

through your Holy Spirit, so that may we may all be one with you,

Father. And we have all this in the name of your Son,

our Lord and Savior of Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen and Amen. Until

next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless God speed. Thank you for
