038 Philemon In Bible Prophecy

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

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

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

Draweth Nigh. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the program. We

are your host Jose and Matthew tonight. If I am going to pass it

off to Jose, He's got something for us to do tonight, and I

have not looked at it. He brought it up right before we went on

air. So I'm just going to pass it off to Jose and we're all

going to follow his lead. Jose, thank you mane. So today while

at work, I was listening to this chapter of the Bible, a reading

of it. And when I was hearing it, of course, as I'm

now going through the Bible, I'm trying to look for the way it's speaking

to me prophetically, because every every word of the Bible is a testimony of

Jesus Christ, and every testimony of Jesus Christ is prophecy. That's what we're

told. So that's the way I read the Bible. And so I was

listening to this reading. You know, it's a very short chapter. It's

only one one one chapter in this book, but it was a certain couple

stanzas Matthew that as I was reading them, it took me back to those

that are talked about in Revelations chapter twenty, those that have to endure the

tribulation, those that have to be sealed by God in order to survive the

tribulation, and those that have to lose their heads in order to enter into

the Kingdom of Heaven and in order to attain that place that Jesus has promised

in Revelation chapter twenty. So that's what I wanted to kind of cover a

little bit today and get a little bit more info on what God is telling

us about that group of end time entity. Matthew, So, which version

was you listening to. I'm not sure which version the reading was from.

It was just a random podcast I clicked on and they were reading that.

But of course the one that I'm most familiar with is the NASB. That's

the one. After I heard it, I immediately opened it up and I

started reading it to, you know, make sure I was I was hearing

what I thought I was hearing. I think it was an Orthodox reading.

I think I think the certain podcast I was listening to is an Orthodox Okay,

I cast, so that was probably where they were reading it from,

Matthew. But yeah, that's that's that's what caught my ears. Okay.

So when you looked at it in the New American Standard Bible, you you

you saw the same thing that that caught your ears? Yes, I did.

Yeah, okay, all right, so why don't we go ahead,

and why don't you go ahead and read these verses? You said, what

ten through sixteen is what really stood out to you? Yeah? And then

the next dand to the next danda have some interesting words as well, and

of course the previous dad has some interesting stuff to uh to cover. So

let me let me go. I'll go ahead and I'll read the whole chapter

Matthew, and then and then because it's not very long, and then we

can then we can piece it apart. I think they'd be best to cover

it all. So okay, all right, good dude, all right.

So I'm in the NASB ninety five Philip Filimon, Chapter one, Paul,

a prisoner of Jesus, and Timothy our brother to filehmen, our beloved brother

and fellow worker and to a fear our sister, and our kip Us,

our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house. Grace to you

and peace from God, our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank

my God always making mention of you in my prayers, because I hear of

your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward

all the saints. And I pray the fellowship of your faith may become effective

through the knowledge of every good thing which is in you. For Christ's sake,

for I have come to have much joy and comfort in your love,

because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you. Brother. Therefore,

though I have confidence in Christ to order you to do what is proper,

yet for Love's sake, I rather appeal to you. Since I am

such a person as Paul the aged and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus,

I appeal to you for my child on SMUs, whom I have begotten

in my imprisonment, whom formerly was useless to you, but now as useful

both to you and to me. I have sent him back to you in

person. That is sending my very heart whom I wish to keep with me,

so that on your behalf, he might minister to me in my imprisonment

for the Gospel. But without your consent. I did not want to do

anything so that your goodness would not be an effect by compulsion, but of

your own free will. For perhaps he was for this reason separated from you

for a while, that you would have him back forever, no longer as

a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother, especially to

me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in

the Lord. If then you regard me a partner, accept him as you

would me. But if he has wronged you in any way or owes you

anything, charge that to my account. I paul am writing this with my

own hand. I will repay it, not to mention to you that you

owe me even your own self as well. Yes, brother, let me

benefit from you and the Lord refresh my heart in Christ. Having confidence in

your obedience, I write to you, since I know that you will do

even more than what I say. At the same time, also prepare a

lodging for Prepare me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I

will be given to you Epiphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ. Jesus greets

you, as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demus Luke, my fellow workers,

the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, be with your spirit. What an

interesting twenty five verses. And you know you wish that it ended here,

but it doesn't, because man, I've got to say this, I'm not

I'm not looking at it now. I don't have to. Oh, this

mus comes up in Clausen's chapter four, So a lot of people don't don't

know that. So when you look at this text prophetically, well, jose

just tell me what what did you think about this? What what struck you?

What did you draw up correlations with? Because this is this is pretty

straightforward, right. So so the first thing that we're told is that this

individual Onesimus is imprisoned, and we know that that's well, that's what our

sins do to us, Matthew. They imprison us, they enslave us,

They keep us from doing what we're supposed to be doing. We can't be

out there, you know, doing our if we're enslaved or in prison,

we can't be out there helping our family. We can't be out there doing

our work. That we're supposed to be doing. And of course we're talking

biblically if we're if we're enslaved the sin, well, Matthew, we we're

not. We're not doing the works of God, we're not following the Holy

Spirit. We're we're following our own, our own evils. So it says

here that in verse eleven that Onisimus was useless formally useless to you, but

now is useful to both you and me. So this appeal to me again.

It is talking about those individuals that were lost and on our are not

found. But of course, prophetically there's one certain group that that this that

this is talking about those that aren't considered a part of the woman because they're

in sin or they're in error. Once once, once God, you know,

initiates everything in the sixth seal, once he kicks everything off. So

as a result they have to endure the tribulation, they have to be in

prison during that time. Now, the other thing that caught my Iyematthew.

It says here in verse thirteen, it says, I wish to keep him

with me so that on your behalf, he might minister to me in my

imprisonment for the Gospel. We talked about that on our last broadcast. Master

this ministry and those that must minister during the millennial Reign of Christ. Those

that are not the part of the Bride, plain and simple, those that

are in Revelation chapter twenty, they have a job to do. It's an

honorable job. It's an honor that they were saved from the fires of hell,

from burning up with the b than the false prophet. But it's not

it's not the same honor as bride. Matthew, and the last bit here

in verse in verse fifteen, this is the one that that really stood out

to me, and I'll read it for perhaps he was for this reason separated

from you for a while, that you would have him back forever, no

longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother.

So Matthew, that that's just that's just highly prophetic what God's saying there.

That's just that's what That's the verse that blew me out of the water.

There was a reason for this separation, and that reason was was so that

God could show us glory and God could show his power. You know,

let me read this out of the I've been reading out of the revised Geneva

translation here as of late. The wording for this really catches you sideways.

It says verse sixteen, no longer as a servant, but above a servant,

as a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much more to

you, both in the flesh and in the Lord. Now we've talked about

this many times that one of Jesus Christ's most important title is pro tot cooast

negross. He is the first born from the dead. That's why this declaration

is made in the first chapter of Revelation. And when you get these gears

turning that this group also that's why what they are known by is by the

epitaph those of the first Resurrection. You're supposed to know. That's what they

facilitate. This is why Jesus Christ is called Prototica. He's the firstborn.

The first born means prophetically, of course, there's going to be other people

born from the dead. Those people are in Revelation chapter twenty. They are

not the bride. They do not get to enter into their reward by joining

Christ in holy matrimony. They have to run the show. Somebody has to

run the show. Because we all know who's running the show. Right now.

And whether you like it or not, the princes over the nations do

not do an admirable job. I mean, you'd have to say that the

princes over the nations, what our problem is is they don't do anything now,

don't I don't have a problem saying that, because there is no denying

this, that the angel certainly have the power to stop on a dime child

pornography, don't they, Jose, Yes, Matthew, human trafficking, illegal

drugs, ladies and gentlemen. Of course, the princes could police this in

their areas and absolutely stop it, dead bank, dead bang. They don't.

They don't do well, Like I said, So this is the whole

reason why this mechanation is put into place. We know what the Bride does,

hear the Book of Numbers chapters three and eight, right, Jose,

Correct, The Bride offers up this group as a wave offering. Did I

shock you? Because ladies and gentlemen, that is plainly what the Book of

Numbers says in chapters three and eight. Yes it does, It says the

clergy in the Millennial Rain. They have to be offered up as a wave

offering. Yes it Doesjse. And I just did a whole program on him,

right, correct, So when you're reading this and you have ears that

can hear if you're listening to it on audio, it stands out to you.

Wait a minute, are we sure this conversation isn't happening between the God,

because, Jose, this sounds an awflut, like, well, who

would you say that this conversation sounds like it's happening between It sounds like it's

between the son God, the Son and God the Father. Matthew. That's

the way I'm reading it. When you listen to it prophetically, that's what

screams out to you, Jose. And this probably caught your attention on the

back side of us doing that episode on numbers three and eight. Right,

absolutely, that was a setup for this. You cannot separate these, can

you, Jose? No, Now, let's be honest. Okay, we

need to make sure that our conscience is clear. I did not lead you.

No, you need to make sure that you reinforce this idea. Am

I the one that directed you to read numbers chapter three? No, Matthew,

it was just on a no numbers. The numbers chapter three was due

to my daily readings. That's what I had to read that day. So

that's what I read. And actually that played off of our episode of the

Ten Plagues aka the Birth Pains. That's right. Distinctly, there was an

order to the way, the way God showed me all this. That's right.

So let's get this straight. We did distinction. Yes, I sent

you the note. She looked at the document and once you see it repeatedly,

God says during the plagues, no, I will make a distinction between

my people and the people of the world multiple day. It's not one time,

right, right, So that's where this came from. And you're saying

that God then planted the seed in your normal reading as you're going through your

Bible readings after that event, in a normal span of time, you stumbled

across Numbers chapter three, and you could not escape what he was saying.

Amen. So now again you're just you're just I mean, is this random?

Why did you listen to to Philemen today? Yeah? It was,

that was just random, Matthew. I saw it and I said, well,

let's let's let's listen to this. So it was just a random a

random selection today to listen to to Philemen. And not only that, it

wasn't philemen that you listened to. It was an Orthodox broadcast on this Yes,

so you are forced to admit this. You're saying that God absolutely used

this Orthodox broadcast for Quicken you. Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen.

I mean what I'm trying to say is this, it could have been a

Lutheran broadcast, right right, Ladies and gentlemen, you need to realize this.

I know that many of you have been born and raised in such and

such a church, in such as such a denomination. Many of you are

literally going to the same church you were raised in. Not only the same

denomination, you're in the same physical church building. And I'm thankful for that.

I truly do thank the Lord, my God, that he has given

you and provided unto you that type of stability. But you need to realize

that there are Christians in every church I've ever been to. They're scattered out

in the pews, and they're quiet, and they go and they're faithful no

matter what the clergy's doing up front. They are God's people and they are

called by His name. And you need to realize that they're in Orthodox churches,

they're in French churches, they're in German churches, they're in Lutheran Church,

they're in Presbyterian churches. Ladies and gentlemen, the god awful mess that

was prophesied by God himself in Ezekiel chapter thirty four has come to pass.

The clergy has trashed God's Church. But you need to know that doesn't mean

those other churches and those other denominations are not Christian. That's not what it

means at all. And it's imperative that you realize this going forward. I

mean, I could mention any denomination by name, and I'm not going to

in this instance. I'm telling you that most of the people in any denomination,

they are not children of the promise. They are children of disobedience.

And I mean quite literally in the biblical sense. So later you all need

to reference that. What's the children of disobedience? What does that mean?

This is what you need to be concerned with, because when you enter into

the birth payings, and you will, you need to be aware that somebody's

going to be persecuting you. And that's the only thing you have to worry

about. You don't have to worry about disease and famine and plagues and lightning

and rabid dogs and skunks going crazy. You don't have to worry about the

only thing you need to worry about. Christ repeatedly told you you need to

worry about the persecution that's coming and where it's coming from. So looking at

this now that you have this idea in your heart, now that you have

been given for just a brief moment Jose's ears. He heard a conversation between

God the Son and God the Father, and he heard this in verses ten

through sixteen. I'm going to read it for you again. This time I'm

reading out of the revised Geneva translation. Why am I doing that? You

need to know the only Bible that is a translation of the Abido Regia manuscript,

that is the Bible, God's Holy Word. That's what it is.

That's where you get your chapters and verses from. The only Bible that uses

that manuscript is the Geneva Bible. So the Book of Feilimen chapter one,

of course, there's only one chapter in it, ten through sixteen. I

encourage you for my son on Nissimus, whom I have been gotten in my

imprisonment, who in the past was unprofitable to you, but is now profitable

to both you and me, and whom I have sent again. Therefore,

deceive him who is my own heart, whom I wanted to keep with me,

so that he might have ministered to me in your place in the bonds

of the Gospel. But I do not wish to do anything without your consent,

so that your goodness would not be out of necessity, but willingly.

Therefore, it may be that he departed for a season so that you would

receive him forever, no longer as a servant, but above a servant,

as a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much more to you,

both in the flesh and in the Lord. Ladies and gentlemen. This

could have been either any one of us. I mean, because I know

what I had. I know what I had coming before the Lord Jesus Christ

saved me. I know what I had coming, and it was only through

his sacrifice, his resurrection. It was only through that that I was able

to be reconciled back to my creator, God the Father. This literally could

have been said about you or I, But when you put it into special

context, it's going to ring true. When we go over to Revelation chapter

twenty and read that, it's going to read it's going to ring true,

it's going to ring your ears like a tuning fork. So let's do this

Relations chapter twenty, verse four before you jump over them. Matthew, Can

I add a couple verses of the cherry on talp to what you just read?

Sure? Absolutely, verses seventeen and eighteen. Therefore, if you count

us as partners, receive him as me. If he has hurt you or

owes you anything, put that on my account. And that, I mean,

if that's not the gospel, Matthew, I don't know what is.

That is exactly what the Lord Jesus Christ did. Jose, Amen, that

is exactly what he did for you, whoever you are, wherever you're at.

That's what he did. And if he hadn't done that in the face

of the Lord, your God, you would be do you have no hope

outside of God the Son? So going to Revelation chapter twenty, starting in

verse four, Jose and I have read this by now, it's been hundreds

of times over the past thirteen years. Hundreds, we've read it hundreds of

times. Listen to what happens, because this is not the Bride of Christ.

The Bride of Christ does not have a job during the millennial reign.

Somebody has to run the kingdom for Jesus Christ, and they must be equated

somehow, some way directly to Jesus Christ and in his role as the first

born from the dead. You're going to hear it. This is why,

jose really quick, jump over to Revelation and find where God says the first

Born from the dead. Please it is, it's the first chapter. Jump

over there real quick and get to it. I'll ask you to read it.

Hereness, all right, it is extremely important to you to know,

ladies and gentlemen, you are not a part of this group. It is

a separate group. They must be put in place so that you and I

can enjoy the millennial reign of Jesus Christ. Somebody has to run that kingdom

because it's not the angels. The angels will not, I repeat, will

not be set up as princes over the nations anymore. Now you would obviously

know that if you had I'm adding too much information. You just need to

know that that it's scattered throughout the Bible. The princes won't be in charge

anymore. The princes that the host of heaven. This group is going to

be. And the only way that can happen is they have to be physically

related and be in line to the air. Okay, So they have to

be royalty in relation to Jesus Christ. So they must be jesus immediate family,

just like any royalty here on earth. You have generally the oldest son

that's going to rule when the father dies, and all of his brothers and

sisters that rule different parts of the kingdom. It can't be Jesus Christ Bride.

It can't be, okay, So Jose read me that verse. So

I'm going to start in verse four of Revelation chapter one, John, to

the seven churches that are in Asia, grace to you and peace from him

who is and who was, and who is to come, and from the

seven spirits who are before his throne, And from Jesus Christ, the faithful

Witness, the first born of the dead, and the ruler of the kings

of the earth. To him who loves us and released us from our sins

by his blood, and he has made us to be a kingdom priest to

his God and Father. To him be the glory and the dominion forever and

ever. Amen, you should have caught it right there he literally come right

out and said, it will not be the host of heaven. It will

not be the princes of Heaven that rule in the millennia rate of Christ.

He just said, it's going to be kings. Okay, skip the first

part, start right where it says from Jesus Christ and finished that part.

And listen, ladies and gentlemen, he says it's going to be kings ruling

with him. I was from Jesus Christ, who is that faithful witness,

and that first begodden of the dead, and that prince of the kings of

the earth, to him who loved us and washed us from our sins in

his blood and made us kings and priests to God, even to his Father.

To him, I say, be glory and dominion forevermore. Amen.

He made himself perfectly clear. Now listen intently as I read who is related

to Jesus Christ that is going to rule as kings over the whole planet Verse

four, Revelation, Chapter twenty. Then I saw thrones, and they sat

on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls

of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of

the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the Beast or his

image and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand,

and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The

rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed.

This is the first resurrection. Blessed and Holy is the one who has

part in the first resurrection over these. The second death has no power.

But they will be priest of God and of Christ and will reign with Him

for a thousand years. It's that simple. This is how you get to

enjoy the millennial reign of Christ with your betrothed. You don't have to do

anything. This group was marked for death in Revelation chapter seventeen. They physically

cannot take them mark of the Beast because they've been sealed by God. This

is the group that was talked about in Revelation chapter one. This is the

purpose of revelation. This is why Revelation chapter one. Now this is Christ

introduction. Take note that hoose they started in verse four. He read the

introduction from God the Father, God the Holy Spirit, and God the Son

and the end of the book explains to you why he has that opening diatribe

link directly back to pro toda cooast Neckros the firstborn from the dead, ruling

and reigning in the place of all the fallen princes. Boy, that's a

whole lot to swallow. But when you have ears that can hear and eyes

that can see, when you read this little biddy one chapter, I mean,

you really can't call it a chapter. You have to call it a

book. It's really a book with twenty five verses. You think it doesn't

it doesn't have any value. How could this book have been put into the

canon of scripture? What purpose does it serve? This is literally a personal

matter between two different people. How is this scripture? But as you plainly

heard what happened to Jose. I did not do this. I did not

lead him. God did this to Jose. God did it to Jose.

But once he was able to understand the distinction that's coming for the bride of

Christ, next God had him stumble upon numbers chapter and it stuck him in

the eye, literally poked him in the eye. He couldn't get past it.

So, having that, having digested that, having understood that, when

he listened to five. He wasn't even reading it, he was listening to

it. He The only way I can explain it is this. It rang

true with him. He heard a whole lot more than the narrator was saying.

Let me say that one more time. He heard a whole lot more

then the narrator was saying. And this is how Christianity is experiential. Gladies,

gentlemen, take a deep breath. Those of you out there who were

scholars. I was raised as you were raised. One plus one is two

A B, C, D E F G. I think mechanically, I

think academically, but Christianity is not done that way. It's done experientially.

And that's what happened to Jose that it's quite possible that the narrator, whoever

he's listening to, is quite possible they're not even a Christian. Because that's

not the point. God's word has its origin in the Creator. And you

need to understand that carrying this apart in the Greek or in the Hebrew wouldn't

get you anywhere. Ladies and gentlemen. Christianity has to be experienced. It's

experiential. Nobody appreciates the scholarly mentality more than me. But there comes a

time when you have to listen to the Holy Spirit, and you're going to

know when that happens, because when you have interaction with this thing, it

will ring true with you. Jose, what say you, Well, Matthew,

what you're saying about the Holy Spirit is ringing true because in verse twenty

five of Filamon, he says that the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be

with your spirit. And we're told, let me read this from from Luke

twelve, verse eleven. Now, when they bring you before the synagogues and

the officials and the authorities, do not worry about how or what you are

to speak in your defense or what you are to say, for the Holy

Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say. And

Matthew, that's that's exactly what happens to those that are sealed by God during

the tribulation. God himself is going to give them words to say when they're

they're put to the test by the beast and the false prophet. Matthew,

again, it's all lining up, it's all ringing true to what God's told

us. And so yeah, this it's just it's just another marker for what

God's talking about here, Matthew, the prophetic nature of this chapter. Good

stuff, hey man, short sweet the point you know, I brought up

that Onesimus is in Colossians chapter four. That's only eighteen verses. Why don't

why don't we read that? Okay, jump over to Colossians chapter four and

let's see whoa listen hear what we can hear? Shall we masters, grant

you your slaves justice and fairness, knowing that you too have a master in

heaven. Devote yourself to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of

thanksgiving. Praying at the same time for us as well, that God will

open up to us a door for the Word, so that we may speak

forth the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned, that

I may make it clear in the way I ought to speak. Conduct yourselves

with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech

always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will

know how you should respond to each person, As to all my affairs,

To Takaikas, our beloved brother and faithful servant and fellow bond servant in the

Lord will bring you information, for I have sent him to you for this

very purpose, that you may know about our circumstances, and that he may

encourage your hearts. And with him Onisimus, our faithful and beloved brother,

who is one of your number, they will inform you about the whole situation

here. Aristarkus, my fellow prisoner, sends you his greetings, and also

Barnabas's cousin Mark, about whom you received instructions. If he comes to you,

welcome him. And also Jesus, who is called Justice. These are

the only fellow workers for the King of God who are from the circumcision,

and they have proved to be an encouragement to me. Epiphras, who is

one of your number, a bond slave of Jesus Christ, sends you his

greeting, always laboring earnestly for you, and his prayers that you may stand

perfect and fully assured in all the will of God. For I testify for

him that he is a deep concern for you and for those who are in

Laodicea and Heropolis. Luke, the beloved physician, sends you his greetings,

and also Demus greet the brethren who are in Laodicea, and also Nympha and

the church that is in her house. When this letter is read among you

have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans. And you, for

your part read my letter that is coming from Laodicea. Say to arkupas take

keed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may

fulfill it. I Paul write this greeting with my own hand, and remember

my imprisonment. Grace be with you boy that was loaded. You know,

ladies and gentlemen, you should play around with these names. You should really

get your hands on at least the strongest concordance. They're usually readily available in

any public library. Get your hands on one and look into those names.

Ladies and gentlemen. He might as well had been describing the birth pains.

He might as well have been describing this into the tribulation. And you know,

maybe we should talk about that just for a minute. Many of you

are obviously from different churches, different denominations, which teach many different things.

You should know upfront that what this ministry has taught, has always taught,

is that the birth pains are two thousand and three hundred days long. Now

why do I say that? Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's not hard

to figure out when you read the Book of Daniel, when you realize what's

going on and are able to digest what the Bible is actually saying. So

let's go to Daniel, chapter eight, verse fourteen for just a second.

I'm not going to spend too much time there. I'm not going to try

to overload your brain. There's time enough for that later. This is a

direct and sir, I'm going to read to you right, I'm going to

go too far up. Let me see. I'll read just thirteen and fourteen.

Then I heard a holy one speaking to another holy one, and said

to that particular one who was speaking, how long with the vision about the

regular sacrifice? Supply why the transgression causes horror as to allow both the Holy

Place and the Holy to be trampled Verse fourteen. He said to me,

for two three hundred evenings and mornings, then the Holy Place will be properly

restored. This is the birth pains. This twenty three hundred days takes you

up to the tribulation. The next thing that happens is the Great Day of

the Lord the six seal event, the tribulation last two hundred and sixty days.

You add those two numbers together, and you're just ninety days shy of

ten years. The totality of what's going to happen is three thousand, five

hundred and sixty days. When you're able to have ears that can hear and

listen to Failehman and then listen to Colossians chapter four, it will ring you

like a bell. It will be able to open up your eyes and your

mind that you realize that you have a whole lot to learn just from Colossum's

chapter four. You're regardless of the other chapters in Colosss, which you desperately

need to understand. But you can learn a whole lot about what's right in

front of you if you would just tune your ears to the Holy Spirit.

But you must choose to be one of two things. Whether you make a

conscious decision or not is really quite irrelevant. Your actions dictates that you've either

chosen to be a child of the promise or a child of disobedience. Because

we're not talking about the lost here. Just so you know, the people

who go to church, the people who call themselves Christians, they're one of

two things. They're either children of the promise or children of disobedience. Then

you don't have to make the conscious decision. Your actions make that decision for

you. So you need to practice being a child of the promise, and

you will have your ears tuned to what the Spirit says. Your eyes will

be in tune with what the Spirit presents. I appreciate it. If you

are of academic scholarship, I appreciate it. If you might have a doctorate

in theology. If you do have a doctorate in theology. At present moment

and your ears and your eyes are not in tune to what the Spirit is

saying and presenting, you have no idea what is to come. You literally

have no idea because you've never heard him say it. You've never been able

to see it presented in his word. When you were reading it, you

read right past it. Pose jump over to numbers chapter three verses, starting

in verse eleven, twelve, and thirteen. Real quick, I'll give you

a second to get there. Yeah, I got it. Ladies and gentlemen,

you need to understand there's two groups in Revelation you need to know about.

One of them is the group we've been talking about. They're the clergy,

they're the leaders. The other group is referred to in Revelation chapter fourteen

as first fruits. And one of these groups have to be offered up as

a wave offering. And I'm telling you the truth. This is what must

run the kingdom. It will the two different groups. One hundred and forty

four thousand in the Book of Revelation is not you. You are the bride

that is betrothed to the king. That's what you are. Now that I

said it, When Jose reads it, it's going to ring true with you.

You're going to hear both groups. Readoes three verses four us Jose again.

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, now, behold, I have

taken the Levites from among the sons of Israel. Instead of every firstborn,

the first issue of the womb among the sons of Israel, sol the Levites

shall be mine. For all the firstborn our mine. On the day that

I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified to

myself all the firstborn, well, from man to beast, they shall be

mine. I am the Lord. That's what is to come. That's what

is to come. That is how you get to enjoy care free a thousand

years with your Lord and Savior. That's how it's going to happen. Because

that was God, the Father speaking and he doesn't stutter. And when he

says something, it's true in the future, it's true in the present,

and it's true in the past. It's always true because he and he alone

sitteth upon the throne that sitteth upon time. God doesn't speak in past him,

sir, present tints or future tints. God just speaks and everybody else

follows his train of thought. Let me say that one more time. Everybody

else follows his train of thought. Something happened that affected God in the tenth

plague, and those three simple verses said it quite plainly. Creation was changed

on that tenth plague. It affected God. It affected him. He said,

I thanked by myself. I mean, do you not understand what that

said? Did nobody ever tell you that? Well? If God, wait

a minute, are you saying that God wasn't sanctified before? Then? Did

you not hear what God said? Because that was the Lord speaking in first

person. That was God speaking in first person. Ladies and gentlemen, yes,

it was, Yes, it was, he said, and I quote,

I sanctified to myself all the firstborn in Israel, from man to beast,

they shall be mine. I'm the Lord. Read it in Hebrew.

It will, It will boggle your brain. It will boggle your mind,

it will affect you. Let me read the accompanying verse, because God repeats

himself. Okay, numbers chapter eight, verse fourteen. Thus you shall separate

the Levites from among the sons of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.

Then after that the Levites may go and serve the tent of meeting,

but you shall cleanse them and present them as a wave offering. For they

are holy given to me among the sons of Israel. I have taken them

from myself instead of every first issue of the wound, the firstborn of all

the sons of Israel. For every firstborn among the sons of Israel is mine

among the men, among the animals. On the day that I struck down

all the first born in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself.

Now I appreciate it if you believe that the pre tribute rapture you're taking

somewhere else. The entire Bible never says you're taken anywhere. There's only one

group that is ever taken anywhere, and that's the group of one hundred and

forty four thousand in Revelations chapter fourteen, and God plainly says they are the

first fruits, they are the firstborn. Yes it does, yes, it

does say that. And the problem with most people is that they are not

familiar enough with the Bible, God's Holy Word to understand, Well, what

is he talking about when he says that this group of one hundred and forty

four thousand was found on Mount Zion? What does that mean? Has anybody

ever read the Book of Hebrews. I mean, because it's detrimental that you

know what Mount Zion is in Bible prophecy. You need to know this.

Write this down Hebrews chapter twelve, verse twenty two. But you so this

is post Christ's ascension into Heaven. Okay, this is where Mount Zion is.

Write this down. It's once you once you know this, once you

memorize this, Bible prophecy will begin to ring true with you because this is

true. But you have come to Mountain Zion, into the city of the

Living God. The Heavenly Jerusalem to myriads of angels, ladies and gentlemen.

God just told you that Mountain Zion is no longer on planet Earth. It's

no longer the city of David down there, and you know the Israeli Empire,

it's not there no more. When Jesus Christ descended, Mountain Zion is

now the city of God in the heavenly Jerusal It's God's throne room. That's

where it's at. Now. Once you know this, you realize, oh

well, now, Revelation the twelfth chapter makes sense that male child goes to

God's throne. Yeah. Two chapters later it tells you how many there are.

Boy, Sometimes it's so hard to regulate the amount of information that I

deliver. It can be overwhelming. But everything Jose and I have read and

said is true and it is what is to come. And I'm sorry if

you've been trained up to believe something else is going to happen. I can't

concern myself with that. The only thing I can do is tell you what

God's word does say and tried to get you. No matter how scholarly you

think you are, you need to tune your ears and your eyes to the

Holy Spirit, because God's work never contradicts itself. He didn't. He didn't

write the Bible to confuse you. If you're confused, your clergy did it

to you. Please read Ezekiel chapter thirty four. God's warned you what the

clergy was going to do. And oh my goodness, they have pulled it

off to perfection, haven't they, Jose, If they have, Matthew,

it's it's disheartening. It's terrifying how the clergy has done this. It's it's

it can be. It can be almost too much to bear, Matthew Jose.

Yes, I am so glad we were able to get together. Amen.

You edify me, Amen, And that is a godly thing to do.

And you you edify me as well, Matthew. That's why I come

on here. Well, then we agree, you and I that in this

instance the word of God is true, because when you and I got together,

He certainly was here. Amen. Amen, Jose, please pray us

out of here, do you, Heavenly Father? We give you thanks and

praise continuously. I can never thank you enough for allowing us to gather together

while we still have the time. Father, for allowing us to share and

the milk and the meat of your word, the beauty of it. Lord,

as we try to read it and try to understand your word and try

to carry out your word as we go along through our every day work and

everyday duties. I just asked that you continually remind us of what you have

told us, continually remind us of the promises you have given us if we

are faithful, if we are faithful, to do your work, to be

salt in this earth, to share your gospel with the lost, and to

share your gospel with the ecclesia so they may be strengthened. And Lord,

I just ask that you allow this ministry to fulfill that for as long as

you will it. And we ask all this in the name of your Son,

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

Ladies and gentlemen. Please set yourself aside, Just take your emotions and

all your learning and set it aside, and try to tune your body,

your mind, and your spirit to the Lord your God. Till next time,

God bless, God speed. Thank you for listening to Marinath the Ministries

I hide in my heart that I might not sin against God
