039 The Clergy And The First Fruits

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

nine. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program. We are

your host, Jose and Matthew. Tonight we're doing something that the Lord has

put upon Jose's heart, so I shall pass it off Jose. What say

you, well, Matthew, this is kind of following what we've been reading

in Numbers. I know we've covered numbers three in Numbers chapter eight what that

had to say about the Levites and what that had to say about, well,

the ones that have been set apart for God. And this was just

another piece that God's showing me as I was reading through numbers, and this

is in numbers eighteen, and this is where God lays out a little bit

more what the levites responsibility is. They're what they're being given, what they're

being offered. We're told that they're not going to be given. They have

no inheritance in the land. Matthew. That's what God says of them.

They don't get a piece of that promised land because they have another job to

do. But they are told that they will receive the first fruits of what

the rest of Israel is offering. And of course we know that that involves

the first fruits from the fields, first fruits of the flower, all these

different types of offering that are offered. Those are given to the Levites.

But there's also special instruction there, Matthew, in regards to the first fruits

of man and the first fruits of the beasts. And that's what caught my

eye when I read this particular chapter, specifically in the Greek is where I

caught it. It's a little bit clearer in the Greek what God's talking about.

So that's what I would like to discuss today, Matthew. Well,

for one, let me say this, that's quite a can of worms you

want to open up, because when you open this can, you're basically talking

about the priest portion if you're talking about numbers, chapter eighteen, specifically from

verse eight on. And we need to make sure that everybody understands this that

translated, this is not just the preachers, This is not just the priest,

the Levites and the sons of Erin particularly here it doesn't say Levites that

said Erin. You know, you're talking about the clergy. They do everything.

They do the wave offerings, they do, the sacrificing. They literally

take care of the temple. Correct, they take care of everything. Yes,

let's talk about the scapegoat. Okay. For the scapegoat ritual, one

of the priests had to march the scapegoat out into the wilderness. Amen.

Amen, okay. So when you say the sons of Erin, you're talking

about the clergy period. So this is what we're talking about, and people

need to digest this. The people who run your church are the clergy.

So if you have Sunday school, anybody teaching a Sunday school class, that's

the clergy. If you have a board, that's clergy. If you have

a secretary, she's clergy. If you have a Sunday school superintendent, that's

clergy. The clergy is everyone with an appointed position in that church. That's

clergy. So we need to get that set right up front. Now,

there's a reason why there's a great big as them in the Church of Christ

when it comes to babies, right, Jose, Yes, we have this

great big fight, I mean literally, World War three proportions about whether you

can sprinkle or you have to immerge somebody in order to baptize them, right,

right, I mean, for for Pete's sakes, it's it's it's a

tly ridiculous. For example, I guess if you're a quadriplegic, you can't

be baptized, right because you have to be fully submerged. Right. Sure,

So I guess the master race of people that get you know that,

could they can only go to heaven through immersion baptism. I guess that just

counts out all the all the quadriplegics, right, Okay, who did that?

Who come up with this garbage? Clergy? Amen? Amen? Who

came up with this argument between the between the churches that preaches the clergy?

Did? That's the clergy? Because you talk to anybody in the pew and

you walk up to you and say, hey, we got this this gentleman

here that you know. Uh, he was a drug dealer and he was

running from the police and he hit a tree and now he's paralyzed. And

he realized that instead of killing him and sending his butt to hades, God

decided to spare him. And now he's a cripple, but he got saved

because he realized that God should have killed him. So so now he's he's

a Christian. So can we, uh, do we have to fully immerse

him in running water? Or can we use a child's pool? Or can

we just sprinkle him with water? Will will that work? All Christians?

Oh, my goodness, make sure I prick you that you might bleed.

All Christians will say, of course, it doesn't matter. However, we

can baptize him. Yeah, of course. It's if only the god hating

clergy did I prick you? I hope I did. Only that god hating

clergy would say, this man can't be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ

because he can't be imerged in running water. And you know what I say

to that, I say, well, don't you go ahead and throw that

baby out with the bathwater, because whoever's saying that's not for Christ. All

Christians are for Christ. So when you give us small examples like that,

all of a sudden, all the Orthodox people that have to happen to go

to a function and run into Lutherans, all of a sudden they're all on

the same page, and they eat together. They dine together, they agree

on everything, and everything's hunky dory until they go to a board meeting at

their church. A man, Jose, Amen, Matthew. So just so

you know, ladies, Jim, we're not talking about Christians here, we're

talking about clergy. Now. There is no shortest of verses in the Bible,

which Jose and I did a complete series on it. Right, if

you want to know what the clergy's got coming, there's no shortest of verses

in the Bible about it, is there, Jose, No, there is

a Matthew. Oh, this isn't one or two verses. No, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no no. There's no shortage of Stanzas dealing with whatever he's going

to do to the clergy when he gets here. And by the way,

if they're telling you that when you get your inspection, okay, he's gonna

will wisp you away because he's scared of the abomination of desolation, you need

to know what they're covering up. They're covering up that they're going to get

damped on their forehead. They're gonna get marked for death, yes they are.

So with that in mind, everybody needs to realize that this portion of

the Bible God's Holy Word. Now, look, I'm gonna preak you again,

you out there who's clergy, because the Bible God's Holy Word is inspired,

it's in errorge, and it is infallible. Now, when you get

to the Bema seat, you're gonna figure that out. The rest of God's

children of the Promise, I need to let them know that that the Bible

God's Holy Word is three things. It's inspired, it's inerrant, and it's

infallible. Those three things that are not taught in any seminary today. Now,

those of you who are the children of the Promise out there, parken

to my voice. I'm gonna tell you how you can know what you're listening

to. If the one that is preaching to you or teaching you says that

when he's in Second Peter chapter two, and he's reading and he tells you

that Paul wrote this, you'll know dead bang what he is and he will

be most properly marked for death by the Lord their God. So that being

stated, this program is for the children of the Promise, so that they

might understand what the clergy's supposed to be doing. Cose well, Matthew we've

been we're given a bunch of examples, some of them we've done programs on

of what the clergy's doing. They've been described as wolves and sheep's clothing.

They you obviously they've been accused of, you know, profiting from the flock,

fleecing the flock, lots of different ways that God tells us what what

the clergy is doing, teaching false doctrine in order to have financial and monetary

gain from from the flock, from got from the the Church of God,

from the Congregation of God. Lots of things that they're accused of that we

know are there there will ultimately be held accountable for. But when I read

this numbers chapter eighteen in the Greek Matthew, I saw something that maybe gives

us a better clue to what else is going on and what what what the

major sin is that that finally gets God to come up off of his throne

and come down here. Those events are described in the sixth Seal. We've

we've we've talked about it that he's coming down to prevent a slaughter of the

innocence, the next wave of the slaughter of the innocence. We've we our

last pro was about that. But the reason why this came to mind,

Matthew, is because in verse eight of numbers eighteen in the Greek it phrases

it a little bit differently than the Hebrew does. And that's what caught my

attention. So verse eight reads, and the Lord spoke to Aaron, and

I behold, I have given to you the safe keeping of the first fruits

of all the things consecated to me by the sons of Israel. To you,

I have given them as an honor, and to your sons with you

as a perpetual precept. And we've discussed in the past, Matthew, how

those first born male, firstborns of Israel, those are the first fruits that

belong to God. He repeated himself in numbers. He repeats himself all throughout

the Bible. And so when I read this and that piece what we've read

in the past, along what I know what Revelation chapter first chapter, Revelation

chapter fourteen says about the first fruits, those that ascend Mountain Zion to be

with him, I was given a lot clearer picture, Matthew, of what

this clergy is actually doing that gets God upset and forces him to come down.

Their main function is to safeguard and keep safe, keep these first fruits,

and they're not doing their job, Matthew. And that's the main reason

that they have to endure the tribulation, that they have to lose their heads

ultimately in order to be with Jesus. In Revelation chapter twenty. So that

was a whole lot. So you must be implying, okay, you must

be implying that the first fruits, which if member serves me correctly, that's

G. Five point thirty six a per k first fruits. So if I

heard you correctly, you found that in Numbers chapter eighteen, particularly verse eight.

Is that what you're saying, Yes, Matthew, because that is first

fruit, So which is probably got most people kind of taken aback. Let's

look at this at the New American Standard Bible Numbers. Chapter eighteen eight says,

then the Lord spoke to Aaron. Now behold, I myself have given

you charge of my offerings, even all the holy gifts of the sons of

Israel. I have given them to you as a portion and to your sons

as a propa actual allotment. So this in the Hebrew, let's just say

it correctly in the Hebraica. This is just an offering, so it it.

It's not particularly saying first fruits, although it does say it now because

it mentions cadets there, so holy okay, holy gifts. See that is

saying it in the Hebrew. You just have to look for it. Because

the holy gifts of the sons of Israel is their first fruits, jose amen.

So just so everybody knows that, yeah, it is there. It

just it stated it differently. What was wholly offerings of these sons of Israel

was their first fruits. So the clergies primary objective is to train up the

children in the way they should go. Amen, jose Amen. Now there's

all kinds of private Christian schools, right, yes, so these schools use

Christian curriculum. Ah, yes, the dead silence. So they're teaching all

the children and all these Christian schools across the United States. Now, just

let me say this, ladies and gentlemen, how should I say this.

I'll not mention names. I don't want to cause people undue trouble. But

there was a time when I intervened and my nieces and nephews was sent to

a public Catholic school or a private Catholic school, a public. Well,

it was public because anybody who paid the weekly fee their children could go attend

the Catholic school. Make no mistakes. I got involved, not only with

the priest and with the nuns, and we altered the curriculum to be christ

Like. So when I speak, I'm speaking with authority. And if all

of you were offended that we were Protestants and we sent, you know,

Christian schools to Christian children to a Catholic schools, because there's no difference.

And I assure you those nieces and nephews that went, they've forgotten more about

God's word than you currently know. So just so you understand, I speak

with authority across the border which you think is between Catholics and Christians, because

there's not. There's only a border between Christians and clergy. So just so

you know, I've had personal interaction with this and a curriculum to make sure

it was christ Like. So this is all Christian schools. So let me

ask you something I want to say. So they teach creationism in all these

Christian schools across the United States. I've heard some crazy stories. Matthew I

wouldn't know because I haven't been in a Christian school myself, but even the

Catholic schools, Matthew, I've heard some crazy stories about what they're teaching,

and a lot of it does not sound biblical. Math you, of course

it's not biblical, Hose, because the spirit of Antichrist is populated the clergy,

the last thing on earth, those children are going to be taught.

Especially I yes, just so you know, ladies and gentlemen, I've been

to more than one rodeo. I've got a sibling that retired as a principal.

I have another sibling that retired as a kindergarten teacher. I don't need

to go on, but I could, Okay, So when it comes to

the education system, I have first hand intimate knowledge, and I assure you

those children aren't being taught Christianity. And just so you know, if you're

paying those Christian schools, you're gonna pay the bill because if you've really convinced

yourself that you're not ever gonna have to face the music, he who sit

us upon the throne is gonna make sure you dance to his tune. I

mean, a lot of you think it's It's funny that as long as you

pay for your kids to go to Christian school and pay your tithe, it's

all right that you pay for that pornography bill. You think God's gonna just

let that slide right on in the Kingdom of heaven. How about your I

don't know, how about how about your metha amphetamine bill? It's okay,

right, Hose, as long as you're paying for your kids to go to

Christian school, right right, It's all right to go to the strip club

on Friday night, as long as you're paying your tithe. Amen. Amen,

boy, you're gonna get a kick out of heat who sitteth upon the

throne, because that's what's gonna start the tribulation. Just so you know,

well, Matthew, if you're sending your kid to Christian school, then you

don't have to sit at home with your child and read the Bible rights doing

that at school, that's right, somebody you're paying somebody else to do it,

right, So Jose, Yeah, what else did you see? And

maybe we should go ahead and read this before I get too worked up about

it and can't sure so because this is pretty in depth what they're supposed to

do and so you want to are we going to read the whole thing?

Yeah, it says a lot, Matthew. I mean it's it's like thirty

two verses. Well, it's just yeah, maybe we should I'd like to

focus. Well, I don't know, there's it's a lot there, Matthew.

Whatever you think, at least we've got to cover that last Danza that

that's real important. Yeah, that this is your gig. Do what you

want. Okay, all right, let me let me look through here.

Yeah, we got to read the whole thing, Matthew. There is too

much here, Okay, So I am reading out of the nets TRANSLATIONSIP to

a Jit, and the Lord spoke to Aaron, saying, you and your

sons and your paternal house shall bear the sins of the holy things, And

you and your sons shall bear the sins of your priesthood. And bring to

yourself your brothers Levi's tribe, a division of your father, and let them

be added to you, and let them minister to you. Also, you

and your sons with you before the Tent of Witness, and they shall keep

your guard duties and the guard duties of the tent. But they shall not

approach the holy furnishings and the Altar, and both they and you shall not

die, and they shall be added to you. And they shall keep the

guard duties of the Tent of Witness, according to all the ministries of the

Tent, and no aliens shall approach you. And you shall keep the guard

duties of the holy things and the guard duties of the Altar. And there

shall not be wrath among the sons of Israel. And as for me,

I have taken your brothers, the Levites, from the midst of israel sons,

as a gift given to the Lord, to minister in the ministries of

the Tent of Witness. And you and your sons with you shall maintain your

priestly office according to the whole manner of the Altar, and that which is

when in the veil, And you shall minister in the ministry as a gift

of your priesthood. And the alien who comes near shall die. And the

Lord spoke to Aaron, and I behold, and I behold, I have

given to you the safe keeping of the first fruits of all the things consecrated

to me by the sons of Israel. To you. I have given them

as an honor and to your sons with you as a perpetual precept. And

let this be for you from the holy things that are consecrated, the offerings,

from all their gifts, and from all their sacrifices, and from every

error of theirs, and from all their sins. As many as they give

back to me, from all the holy things, they shall be for you

and for your sons. In the holy of holies. You shall eat them.

Every male shall eat them. You and your sons. They shall be

holy to you. And this shall be for you a first fruit of their

gifts, from all the additions of the sons of Israel, to you I

have given them, and to your sons and to your daughters with you as

a perpetual precept. Every clean person in your house shall eat them every first

fruit of oil, and every first fruit of wine, and of grain,

their first fruit. As much as they may give to the Lord, to

you, I have given them all the first products, as many as are

in the land. As many as they may bring to the Lord, shall

be yours. Everyone who is clean in your house shall eat them. Everything

anathematized among Israel's sons shall be yours. And everything that opens the womb from

all flesh which they offer to the Lord, from human to animal, shall

be yours. But the first born of people shall be redeemed with the ransom,

and the first born of the unclean animals you shall redeem, And its

redemption is from a month old. Its evaluation is five shekels. According to

the holy shekel twenty obols. There are but first born of calves, and

firstborn and first born of goats you shall not redeem. They are holy,

and you shall pour out their blood against the altar, and the fat you

shall offer up as an offering for an odor of fragrance to the Lord.

But the meat shall be for you, just as also the breast of the

addition, and just as the right shoulder shall be for you. Every advanced

deduction of the holy things, as many as the sons of Israel may deduct.

For the Lord, I have given to you, and to your sons

and to your daughters with you as a perpetual precept. It is a covenant

of perpetual salt before the Lord for you and for your offspring. After you

and the Lord spoke to Erin, you shall have no inheritance in their land,

and there shall not be a portion for you among them, for I

am your portion and your inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel and

the sons of LEVII. Behold, I have given every tithe in Israel as

an allotment for their ministries, as much as a minister in the ministry in

the Tent of Witness. And the sons of Israel shall no longer go up

into the tent of witness to incur deadly sin. And the Levite himself shall

minister in the ministry of the Tent of Witness, and they shall bear their

sins as a perpetual precept for their generations. And in the midst of Israel's

sons, they shall not inherit and inheritance. Because I had given the tithes

to the sons of Israel, which they set apart as an advanced deduction,

to the Levites as an allotment. Therefore I have said to them, in

the midst of israel sons, they shall not inherit an allotment. And the

Lord spoke to Moses, saying, and you shall speak to the Levites,

and you shall say to them, if you receive from the sons of Issuel

the tithe that I have given to you from them as an allotment. You

shall also deduct from it an advance deduction to the Lord a tithe from the

tithe, and your advanced deductions shall be reckoned to you as grain from a

threshing floor, as an advanced deduction from a wine press. So you too

shall deduct from the advanced deductions of the Lord from all your ties, as

much as you receive from the sons of Israel, and from them you shall

give an advanced deduction to the Lord to err In the High Priest. From

all your gifts, you shall deduct an advanced deduction to the Lord or from

all the first fruits, the sanctified part of it. And you shall say

to them, when you deduct the first fruits from it, it shall also

be reckoned to the levites that's produced from a threshing floor, and as produced

from a wine press. And you shall eat it in every place you and

your households, because this is a wage for you for your ministries and the

tent of witness. And you shall not bear sin because of it when you

deduct the first fruits from it, and you shall not profane the holy things

of the sons of Israel so that you might not die. Well, that

was a lot, yes, But in this you begin to realize, well,

let's take myself. When I was a child, my pastor lived in

a parsonage. I mean, it's probably a foreign word today, but ladies

and gentlemen, back in the day, the pastors were not paid an exuberant

salary that made the millionaires and owned their own house. No, the church

owned the preacher's house, and the preacher wasn't paid to very much money.

The only money that he was paid was really enough for the other things,

you know, buying clothes for the kids and that that sort of thing.

The church paid for everything else. And now you know what, this is

very clear. It's very clear and clean that the clergy has taken this o.

This is how the clergy gets paid. Correctjse Correct, Matthew. Uh,

but boy, it made itself perfectly clear. Do you know what inheritance

is Jose Yes, Matthew, Ladies and gentlemen, let me pull this to

the forefront. It just said they weren't allowed to have property because that would

make them corrupt. That's what all this entire chapter meant. It mentioned several

times they were prohibited from owning stuff, right hose it said that many times?

Actually correct it literally drilled it into your brain. They were not permitted

to own things and have an inheritance because then you could buy them and pay

them off. You and I I have covered chapters in the New Testament.

This is exactly what's going on. The so called preachers are in it.

For how does the KJV put it? Filthy lucre Right? Yes, when

when you read Numbers chapter eighteen, God makes himself perfectly clear. If you

not let them own property and keep caches of staff, they will remain holy.

I mean you have to be able to read between the lines in the

Bible gots holy word. If you turn this and invert this text, he's

telling you. If you don't, they will be wicked. I mean,

did anybody catch how many times it implied that those people running the church are

supposed to be holy, and if they're not holy, they will I mean

that's how the chapter ended, right, Yes, if they're not holy,

there to die. Of course, nowadays this is not implemented because if it

was, I mean, if the angels were actually doing something and cutting down

the bad clergy, we wouldn't have any problems, would we Jose, No,

we wouldn't, Matthew. I mean literally this Sunday, my entire congregation

can come visit your church, this coming Sunday. Right, if there was

no clergy working against us, an entire congregation could go visit another church,

and in times pastor had done that, right, I mean, just so

you know, ladies and gentlemen, I'm not a Catholic, wasn't raised castle,

but yeah, I've been more than one midnight Mass. Do you want

to know why? Because the people who raised me, they feared God,

and they would do this I don't know, once every six months maybe that

they would contact another pastor and see if our two churches could get together.

I haven't heard that being done in thirty years. I don't remember that since

I was a teenager when I went into an institution of higher learning and met

my wife. That hasn't happened since then. Have you heard of it?

House, No, Matthew, I haven't. I mean, if you're in

a Presbyterian church, that clergy will burn in hell before they'll invite the Baptist

over for a get together on Sunday, right, right? But here you're

told their primary function is those first fruits from the womb. So let me

get this right, just so everybody understands, because I know how it was

done in my church. I know how I was raised. We had a

full for every age group. We had Sunday school teachers, okay, for

every age group, and our pastor, Brother Marshall, every Sunday he would

be in a different children's class. Did you know he never taught the adult

class. Literally, the church board wouldn't let him. No, no,

no, no, no no. You have to make sure and rotate through

the toddler class, you know, the first class, the second class,

the third class, the elementary clas. He had to go make sure all

of them were being taught correctly. So he would just rotate to all the

different classes because he had to make sure that the Sunday school superintendent was doing

their job, had to make sure that they were actually teaching what the curriculum

said. So is it a shock to you because most of you, your

high dollary pastors, if they even teach Sunday school, they'll only teach the

adult class, right, Jose Right, Matthew, Yes, that's Antichrist.

I mean, I don't have a problem saying it because I fear God,

when I'm a God fearing, Bible believing, Gospel preaching Christian, that's written

his word upon my heart. How many degrees you got don't even matter to

me. It doesn't matter. What matters to me is one simple word that

I'm warned about that I need to know what it is. It's G five

point thirty six. That's first fruit, and that is in not only numbers

chapter eighteen, verse eight, but it's the same exact words used in Revelation

chapter thirteen, verse four, Right, Jose, correct, Matthew, And

ladies and gentlemen. Maybe we should just read that verse, just show you

know what's being talked about, Okay. From the New American Standard Bible.

These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they've kept

themselves chase. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes.

These have been purchased from God among men as first fruits to God into the

Lamb. Of course, they have not been defiled with women. Ladies and

gentlemen. Of course they're chased. They're first fruits ladies and gentlemen. Yeah,

they are. I don't need you to tell me what the KJV says.

I can see past that. I can see what God actually wrote as

he inspired John of Patmos to compose this text, and most certainly that's first

fruit. So you and no, I don't need to know this. You're

not just your pastor the church secretary, the church, the church accountant.

All of their primary number one function is to train up the children and the

way they should go. Everything else is secondary. They really shouldn't even have

to worry about the adults, because I don't know what the Bible says about

the adults. To his own master, a servant stands or falls. I

don't think I know what it says. I know what it says in Greek

that I confuse you. Do you have this vague shadow of a memory.

Yeah, I know that Versus somewhere, to his own master servant stands or

false. I know what it means, and I also know why you don't

know it. I know why your Sunday school teacher hasn't taught it to you.

But with this in mind, the clergy's one hundred percent responsibility are training

up the children in the way they should go. Well, Matthew, God's

giving plenty of warning here in that last dance where he's talking about the threshing

floor and the wine press, and all you have to do is go to

the gospels and see what Jesus has to say about those things and what role

they play and separating his people, his separating the children of the promise from

the sons of disobedience. So he's again, like you said, Matthew,

he's giving the clergy here plenty of warning. If they don't do their job,

what's going to happen? And you know, I wonder how many people

caught the simple fact that they're also ordered to pay a tenth of what they

do get. Did you catch that? Yep? I was I. The

Church of the Lord Jesus Christ isn't any very good shape right now. No,

it's not, Matthew. You know, let's uh. Do you remember

the year that you first encountered this ministry? Was it twenty eleven maybe?

Or was it twenty ten? I think it was twenty ten, Matthew,

really twenty ten, twenty ten? Yep? So what was your state then

as compared to it is now? Of course I was struggling. I was

knowing that I was not walking in the correct path. Matthew, uh,

knowing that that I was trying to leave my family in the correct way,

but I was, I was way off. And so that was the point

in my life when when I finally started reading my Bible and I started searching

out any kind of teachings on the Bible. And that's that's where I found

this ministry. Matthew, that simple. Then you just needed to Then you

said the word Bible there, I don't know three or four times in that

short statement. Yep, I had been going to church. We had been

going to church. You know. That's that's how I was. I was

seeking to get closer to God and seeking to get guidance to to instruct my

family. We went to a Catechism class for my son because he was gonna

I was gonna start him in Catechism so he can start taking the sacraments.

And I did not like what I saw there. I did not like the

way the clergy there was leading the It was just an instructional meeting. It

wasn't it wasn't even start at the start of the class. It was just

simply an instructional period to tell his parents how everything was going to go.

And you know, no no prayer, Matthew, no no godliness, no

holiness in that assembly, and it was just it rocked me because that's not

the church I grew up with. And so that's when I was like,

Okay, I need to figure this out because I don't like I don't like

what I see in the church. How long did it take you to figure

it out? I'm sorry, my friend. You weren't expecting me to say

that, were you right? But that is what you said. You said

you left because you needed to know how to figure it out. So when

did you figure it out? How long did it take? Oh? It

it took me. It took me a while, Matthew. I couldn't put

a number on it. But I have to mention before on these on different

programs that I was searching for the perfect church. I was searching for the

church. I was doing everything right, and I couldn't find it. So

that's when I understood the state of the church currently, the Christian Church.

And that's when I understood that well, I had to be able to I

had to train myself up so that I could be a blessing among any group

of Christians that I was in. Matthew, whether I went to a Catholic

church or whether I walked into a Protestant church and Evangelical church. I had

to be able to find the Holy Spirit there, and I had to be

able to help people learn, learn their word, learn the Bible. That's

what I felt was the most important. And of course through that, Matthew,

then I understood what is what is the most important, right the fruits

of the spirit. That's a number one. If you're not doing that,

it doesn't matter how much read your Bible, it doesn't matter how much church

services you go to. You're you're not you're not producing good fruit. And

that's kind of where we started here, right Matthew. With the first fruits,

those fruits, those fruits of the spirit, demonstrate that you're walking in

the Christian way, demonstrate demonstrate that you're following the commandments of God. Demonstrates

that you're following those beatitudes and holding to the testimony of Jesus. It's pretty

simple, But it's really pretty simple. Yes, if you can't be convicted

in a court of law of following the Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes, you

ain't a Christian. Amen, you are what is known of as a son

of disobedience. I mean, all kinds of people call themselves Christians, right,

right, But you you repeated yourself, Matthew, it's not the clergy

up there that we need to be concerned about. It's the Christians that are

in the pews, that's right. And they're everywhere, scattered out in the

pews. And it's amazing to me that a whole lot of times they're by

themselves, high proportion of them now are by themselves for whatever reason, either

their spouse doesn't come to church, or their spouse, you know, is

dead. YadA, YadA, YadA. You know, ladies and gentlemen really

don't care. Really don't matter where you're going. It doesn't matter if you

do exactly what jose did. Pick it up and digest it. And this

is a fact. It will change you, especially if you not only read

it when you can read it, if you'd listen to it when you can

listen to it. I'm telling you, it will change you. And one

thing it will certainly do is you will begin to hear it say things that

are diametrically opposed to what's coming out of the pulpit. I mean, they

use these fancy terms like let's talk about the one that I mentioned earlier.

What does that mean? Let me translate that for you. Okay, the

Bible, God's Holy Word is inspired, so the Holy Spirit is the one

that wrote it, using someone else's hands to compose it. So Luke did

not write the Gospel of Luke, the Holy Spirit did. It is in

errant, it is free from error, it is infallible. What does that

mean? Well, it's these last one that the liberals love to twist.

They don't want you to know what it means. It means that it is

true, irregardless of tints. What do you mean, irregardless of tints.

If it says thou shalt not lie, you cannot ever lie to enter the

Kingdom of Heaven. It means when it says that these are the requirements for

an elder, it's irregardless if that's a thousand years ago or it's a thousand

years from now. And if you are currently holding a position in a church

called an elder and you don't meet those biblical requirements, that's in more than

one chapter. By the way, you're a joke because I know what it

takes. Could be a bishop of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

If you don't meet those requirements, I mean you can. I mean you

can wear a firement's you know, get up right, you can put on

a fireman's hat. You can have an axe, you know, you can

have your rubber boots. That don't make you a fireman, does it,

Jose? You know, Matthew. And I'm here to tell you, ladies

and gentlemen, God's word is an errands. Now, the bishops usually reside

at the corporate level. Of course, the church calls it the district level

or the conference level. But if you look up and you look into this

and say, okay, who is my bishop that is at the district headquarters.

If you find a chapter in the Bible that describes just one of the

chapters that describes requirements for an elder, if they don't meet it, that

means the joke's on you. And if you're paying them your tithe, oh

man numbers. Chapter eighteen was very clear it wasn't your tithe, it's God.

Does not he say that multiple times? Jose, Yes, Matthew.

And if you think you're paying a person, that doesn't meant to require the

New Testment not the Old Testament, let's just leave out the Old Testament if

they don't meet the New Testament requires because they say that the word of God

is fallible. Those verses and those chapters, they're not relevant for today.

God's gonna let you up like a match because you have profaned his tithe.

Okay, just so you know, just so you know, so this is

extremely important that you know this thread for today that you need to understand that

it's the clergy's fault, all of it, not some of it. What

I mean, most of you don't even have Sunday school curriculum anymore. Your

churches don't even buy it. You just let the Sunday school teachers teach whatever

they want, and normally they're not teaching anything. I've been to many churches

now that you go visit the Sunday school classrooms and there's just coloring books,

and and you need to be aware of that that numbers. Chapter eighteen screams

this at the top of its lungs. Lottie, Dottie, everybody had better

be first and foremost concerned about those first fruits. And if you're not well,

the Lord's got something uppy sleeve, and you're gonna be because He's gonna

do things you're not expecting because you've rejected the Bible, his holy words.

You've rejected I'm let's talk about Let's just talk about one verse, just one

Matthew, Chapter twenty four, verse nineteen, won't be in the pregnant women

and nursing mothers. If you need a hint, you ain't got a clue.

He's saying that because the Lord Jesus Christ knows his father in heaven,

and he knows numbers chapter eighteen. He knows why the Holy Spirit wrote it.

He knows why. He more importantly knows why that the Holy Spirit composed

it in two different tongues, just to make sure you got it straight.

It's Hebrew and its Greek. It's a brillonary code. Jesus Christ knew all

these things because of that when the time came in the foulness of time,

Matthew, chapter twenty four, verse nineteen was written by the Holy Spirit.

Won'll be into pregnant women and nursing mothers. And if you need a hint,

you ain't got a clue. Because when the Lord your God gets up,

you're gonna salute, and you better make sure your tithe money you're paying.

The first and foremost thing it's doing is ensuring that the first fruits are

being trained up in the way they should go. You know that might surprise

you that by the time I was in the sixth grade, I knew all

the chapters of the Bible. I knew how many chapters was in each book.

Just imagine. Have you ever met a kid in sixth grade that could

tell you all the books of the Bible in order and how many chapters was

in each one. They literally had memorized the Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes,

and they had to make sure they recited those two things every three weeks.

By the time I was in the sixth grade, I had memorized the Book

of Jude and Second Peter Chapter two. By the time I was in sixth

grade, I'd already written the four Gospels long hand. Do you want to

know why? Because my parents, my preacher, my Sunday school teachers,

the Sunday school superintendent, the church secretary of the church, accountant Peter Paul,

and Mary Lottie Dottie, everybody was training me up to be a preacher.

I learned how to read out of the King James version Bible That's how

I learned how to read something is terribly wrong if you didn't know that the

first thing that's on God's mind are the first fruits from the womb. Christianity

is like the foreign language to you. You have no idea, Jose,

what say you? Well, Matthew, what strikes me is when the days

that I see the church full, and it demonstrates how important the first fruits

are, how important those little ones are to the Lord. Those are the

when you have a child being baptized, a child going through their first comunion,

children putting on a Christmas play, any type of activity at the church

where the children are involved, that church is packed. We know that church

attendants as a whole is declining, Matthew, in this country, in other

countries, but that's when even the lapse Christians get dragged back into church when

those children are there. So that's just the physical demonstration of what God's talking

about in number is eighteen. And it should be a demonstration to everyone in

the pews and all the clergy that to get to witness those children inside his

church. So We've got no excuse, Matthew for not understanding what God's telling

us here. Oh, that's for that's for sure, Jose, I mean

not just numbers. Chapter eighteen. Oh, I assure you, we have

no excuse. I assure you we have no excuse. So have you ever

been to a public library that didn't have a Bible in it? No,

No, you haven't. Hose right, ladies and gentlemen, just see you,

so you all know he's coming, and when he gets here, you're

going to have a reckoning with him. I know most of you have been

taught that Jesus is going to pop his head through the clouds and see the

abomination of desolation and get scared and snatch up all his pretty little sheep in

an Isaiah chapter fourteen event and take them all to God's throne. But I'm

here to tell you that what you're gonna get is gonna rattle your cage because

the Lord, he is God, and we're gonna do exactly what he said.

And if this is new to you, you better figure it out.

You better figure it out quick. You better pick up that Bible translation is

irregardless whichever one you can get your hands on, you need to pick it

up and read it like it's an encyclopedia. Britannica, because what you've been

learning in church is a force, and the clergy is being ran by the

anti christ spirit. Jose, please pray us out of here, our Father,

who are in heaven. How would be thy name that kingdom come,

that will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this

dare davy bread, have forgiven start trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass

against us, and lead us not at you temptation, but deliver us from

you will, for Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the glory forever.

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