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. Whe're your
-
host, Jose and Matthew. I shall abruptly and straight away pass it over
-
to Jose to bring everybody up to speed what we're doing, why we're doing
-
it, and the importance of why we're going to do it. Jose,
-
Well, Matthew we covered on the last show. We covered how Well a
-
little bit more detail about the birth pangs and how God was telling us about
-
the birth pangs and the Book of Exodus and more specifically, how God has
-
that distinction between Egypt and Israel in the Book of Exodus and how we're supposed
-
to translate that prophetically, how that distinction is going to take place once the
-
birth pangs begin. We read Matthew twenty four and that gave us a lot
-
more detail. We covered the first four seals, and then we began to
-
cover the fifth seal because we talked a lot about that persecution. That's going
-
to take place where you get the brothers being jealous of brothers because well,
-
it seems like those Christians are doing a lot better than everyone else during these
-
birth pangs, and so then that's when the persecution begins. But we ran
-
out of time, so we didn't really have time to cover the sixth Seal,
-
Matthew, the thing that kind of culminates the birth pangs and begin the
-
tribulation, the great and terrible day of the Lord, when God comes and
-
steps off the throne himself and comes down to prevent, you know, the
-
taking of those children that we know, we've talked a lot about it,
-
and he personally takes them up with himself up to Heaven. We talked about
-
in Isaiah twenty six, talked about in Revelation fourteen. Of course the sixth
-
Seal event. Revelation twelve tells us about it, lots lots more chapters that
-
we can dig into that, Matthew. But of course, the way God
-
operates, he brought this up in my in my daily readings that I do
-
every day. I try to get a lot of reading in on not just
-
on what we're studying, Matthew, but just general data input that I'm trying
-
to get, you know, chapters that I'm going through a little discipline that
-
I've set myself up for just again, just data entry, just to get
-
these facts in my head and remind you cemented in my head. And of
-
course God wanted to I guess he wanted this brought up today, Matthew,
-
because during my readings after our show, this is what I came across,
-
this specific set of verses in numbers chapter three. So we didn't really cover
-
the last plague, the plague of the Firstborn, where God strikes down the
-
Egyptians firstborn. It's the final straw that pushes Pharaoh to let the Israelites go
-
to release them, and of course they flee, and you know, we
-
have the whole events that transpire there with Pharaoh's army as the Israelites are fleeing
-
to the wilderness. And we reminded everyone that this is the same thing that's
-
going to take place that we see taking place in Revelation twelve. And so
-
that tells us that the Book of Exodus is described the first part of the
-
Book of Exodus to describe in the birth pangs before the your Israel goes into
-
the wilderness. So as I was reading Numbers chapter three, Matthew, I
-
came across these verses, and I'll let you. I'll let you comment first
-
on what I've talked about before I before I start reading these verses. If
-
you have anything to add before you jump in, Matthew, well, I
-
just want to say this to new listeners. Everything that Jose probably took you
-
by surprise, and let me add to it. You know, there's twenty
-
one simple verses that comprise an entire book that most Christians are oblivious as to
-
what it actually says, and that is only due to English translations. But
-
ladies and gentlemen, you need to familiarize yourself with the Book of Obadiah.
-
The Book of Obadiah describes this perfectly, perfectly well with a single verse,
-
what he's been talking about in the importance of well the Firstborn. You think
-
that it didn't have an effect on God, but it did. Now when
-
I say that, usually it disturbs people. And I can clearly see people
-
in the classroom start shifting around nervously because to you and I, you cannot
-
affect he who sits upon the throne. I mean, we all have this
-
picture seared into our brain that he has. He has eyes that you can't
-
see because they're so bright, because they're like spotlights. And he has white
-
hair, white beard. He's on this throne, and he literally never moves.
-
He doesn't move. He's immovable. And I know this by speaking to
-
many different people from just about every denomination under the sun, speaking to people
-
all over the world who called themselves Christians. I got a kick out of
-
when I went to a Korean church, and I mean yes, in the
-
country of Korea, and I asked him this question. They described to this
-
perfectly. Now. The only thing that really wavered to the left or to
-
the right was what type of white garment he had. Some said they could
-
see his feet, others said they couldn't, that the robe went all the
-
way so that he couldn't see his feet. The only thing you could see
-
was his hands and his head. So this should bother you that the verses
-
that Jose's getting ready to read, God tells you that it bothered him,
-
it affected him. And from this point forward, if you don't know about
-
this event, you don't know about any event, because once Jose points it
-
out to you, and you have ears that can hear and eyes that can
-
see, and you realize what God is actually saying. You realize this completely
-
changes the paragid. You realize that this affected him and there is no taking
-
it back, and you can take this to the bank. God himself states
-
that he chases after what has been Jose, all right, Matthew, So
-
yeah, that's what you're talking about. There is isochronal eschatology, which is
-
what we follow here at Maranatha Ministries. And so because we understand the six
-
sealed event and what it means why God comes down, why he rescues those
-
children that are threatened and takes them up to Heaven with him, then we
-
can understand when we get to the Book of Exodus, and when we get
-
to these verses and numbers, chapter three, what God is telling us isoconally.
-
So I'm going to go ahead and read these verses for us, Matthew.
-
I'm going to start in eleven and go through thirteen again. The Lord
-
spoke to Moses saying, now, behold, I have taken the Levites from
-
among the sons of Israel. Instead of every first born the first issue of
-
the womb, among the sons of Israel. So the Levites shall be mine
-
for all the first born our mind. On the day that I struck down
-
all the first born in the land of Egypt, I sanctified to myself all
-
the first born in Israel, from man to beast, they shall be mine.
-
I am the Lord. Now this time, this isoconal event. God
-
allowed lee Bites to say, stand as a substitution for not taking all of
-
Israel's firstborn. But the next time around, Matthew to heaven and we're told
-
that in Revelation chapter twelve and Revelation chapter fourteen. Why he does that.
-
They are essentially the replacements for the fallen, the ones that are kicked out
-
of heaven by Michael and his angels. God kicks them out of heaven and
-
He's got to put someone in their place. And so this to me,
-
Matthew cemented what we were talking about, the birth pangs, because this is
-
the culminating event of the book of Exodus, and it's also the culminating event
-
of the six Seals, and the culminating event of the birth pang. It's
-
what starts the tribulation, that great and terrible day of the Lord. So
-
again, I know we presented a lot of evidence on our last episode,
-
Matthew. But this to me is just a a bigger nail that God is
-
putting here in this in these events. For me, it's what he's showing
-
me. So I'm just I'm just trying to find a way to convey to
-
the listener why I feel this is a nice ccnal event and why it's important
-
in understanding what is to come. Well, let me say this right off
-
the bat. You cut out there for a second, and I don't know
-
how much people heard because I'm not quite sure what you were saying. Okay,
-
however, I shall fill in the blanks. Ladies and gentlemen don't understand
-
this That Jose made it perfectly clear that Revelation chapter fourteen that's what is being
-
discussed here. There is no there is no debating that in a court of
-
law. Revelation Chapter fourteen comes right out and says this event involves the first
-
fruits and they are taken to Mount Zion. Now, that is one of
-
the very particular things that a lot of people have trouble with because they're so
-
much I mean, there's so much bad teaching out there. It is absolutely
-
mind boggling. But ladies, and gentlemen, you need to understand that the
-
Book of Hebrews is very clear on what Mount Zion is, and it is
-
not anywhere within the borders of the Israeli Empire right now Hebrews chapter twelve,
-
verse twenty two. But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city
-
of the Living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to a myriads of anil jewels.
-
Mount Zion is God's thrown room. And you need to know that this
-
group her the book of Obadiah the twenty first verse, this group gets taken
-
to Mount Zion. That's exactly what is described in Revelation chapter fourteen. Yes,
-
it is exactly. This is exactly what is stated. I'll read verse
-
one. Then I looked and behold the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion,
-
and with him one hundred and forty four thousand having his name and the name
-
of his father written on their foreheads. Now, if we skip down,
-
you know what, let me just read the whole thing. I mean,
-
it's only like what five verses long, verse two, and I heard a
-
voice from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound
-
of a loud thunder. And the voice which I heard was like the sound
-
of harpist playing on their harps. And they say a new song before the
-
throne and before the fore living creatures and the elders. And no one could
-
learn the song except the one hundred and forty four thousand who had been purchased
-
from the earth. Verse four. These are the ones who have not defiled
-
with women, nor have the They have kept themselves chased. These are the
-
ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been purchased from among
-
men as first fruits to God and to the Lamb, and no lie was
-
found in their mouth. They are blameless. Now the problem is is that
-
there's two sides to this coin, because the group of one hundred and forty
-
four thousand in Revelation chapter seven is not this group. And if you had
-
ears that could hear, God came right out and told you in numbers chapter
-
three, he made himself perfectly clear. And to twelve. Let me read
-
it one more time. Jose's already read it. Let me read it again
-
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 of the sons of Israel. So the
-
Levites shall be mine. For all the first born are mine. On the
-
day that I struck down the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctify
-
to myself, oh, the first born in Israel, from man to beast,
-
they shall be mine. I am the Lord. Now, look,
-
Jose, what were the levites. They were the priest, Matthew, They
-
were the clergy. Hotly, yes, yes, they were the clergy.
-
Ladies and gentlemen, You need to understand what he just said. This is
-
what the Lord, God of Host is going to do. During the birth
-
pains. There will be a whole lot of babies born. Now, just
-
in case you don't know this, the birth pains are two thy three hundred
-
days. Now. During this time, the Lord Jesus Christ. This is
-
why he shot across the bow of pregnant women and nursing mothers. This is
-
the whole reason why Matthew chapter twenty four, verse nineteen is there. Because
-
God is going to take these children that are two years and under and in
-
the womb. You can empirically prove that with Isaiah chapter six. God is
-
going to snatch them from their mother's breast and from their mother's womb. This
-
is why it stated two years an under, because they don't have their front
-
teeth yet they're still breastfeeding. This is how the Roman soldiers determined which babies
-
to slaughter when the slaughter of the Innocence happened. Ladies and gentlemen, you
-
don't walk up to a baby's moment and say, hey, is this child
-
two years or no? You stick your index finger in the baby's mouth.
-
If they got their front teeth, they live. If they don't have their
-
front teeth, you run them through. So you need to understand that what
-
is being stated here in a nicer chronal event, these first born God's taking
-
them to Mount Zion Hebrews two, well, verse twenty. God came right
-
out and tell you where that's at. And you should know that if Revelation
-
chapter fourteen is dead in the middle of the tribulation, because it's way before
-
his return in chapter nineteen, you need to realize that he just came right
-
out and told you He's taking these children to Heaven. That's exactly what the
-
Bible says in more places than one. So who is this other group of
-
scape goats, because that's what the group is. From Revelation chapter seven.
-
Jose right, they are sealed by God. Therefore they cannot take the mark
-
of the beast, can they. No, they cannot, Matthew. They
-
are literally sent to their doom. There's only one way for them to die,
-
and that's to be beheaded. And because of that, Revelation chapter twenty
-
is very clear, is it not. Yes, they are not the bride
-
of Christ, are they? No, they're not, Matthew. They have
-
a job to do. Ladies and gentlemen, you need to hearken to my
-
voice. I'm going to go there and I'm going to read to you what
-
God himself has to say about it. This group that this happens to makes
-
himself perfectly clear in verse four that they come to life and reigned with Christ
-
for a thousand years. Do you need to accept that what this just said
-
is true. We'll go back down to verse six and it says it again,
-
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. Jose.
-
Just so you know, this group of one hundred and forty four thousand
-
Levites, shall we say clergy, shall we say they are not the bride
-
of Christ? They are priests. There is no consternation with what I just
-
read here. There's no way you can counter it with Isaiah, with Ezekiel,
-
Jeremiah. We can go wherever you want to, because I don't know
-
a person living that's more familiar with the Bible, God's Holy Word than myself.
-
Because all the people who trained me and raised me, they've already entered
-
into their rest. So when you point these things out and you realize that,
-
wait a minute, three short verses, God made himself perfect and clear,
-
But it's really two because verse eleven just says and again the Lord spoke
-
to Moses, saying, see, you could really throw this out. And
-
what a really bog of your mind is when when people don't know that.
-
By the way, just in case you didn't get it there, he says
-
that. Five chapters later too, they're like, whoa, what do you
-
mean by that? Well, I mean what I mean? I mean that
-
Five chapters later he comes out and says it again. I mean if everybody
-
would like to go to numbers chapter eight and see what it has to say,
-
because this is true. I mean, look at verses sixteen and seventeen.
-
I mean I don't have to look at them. I know what they
-
say. Does that surprise you that I said that. I don't have to
-
read it because I know what they say. But I will for your benefit.
-
Thus, you shall separate the Levites from among the sons of Israel,
-
and the Levites shall be mine. Now, look, ladies and gentlemen,
-
that's why this first group of one hundred and forty four thousand from Revelation chapter
-
seven, that's why they get sealed by God so they can't take the mark
-
of the beast, and the beast promptly beheads them. Yeah, ladies and
-
gentlemen, he just said that these Levites are going to be separated from the
-
bride of Christ. You didn't catch that. Yeah, The only ones going
-
through the tribulation are these that have been marked for death. Because you need
-
to read Ezekiel chapter thirty four. Because God makes himself perfectly clear, redundantly.
-
Jose, you and I have done a mini series on this, right,
-
yes, we have. Let me continue on fifteen. Then after that
-
the Levites may go in to serve the tent of meeting, but you shall
-
cleanse them and present them as a wave offering. Did you not understand what
-
God just said. He's talking about the Levites people verse sixteen. For they
-
are wholly given to me from among the sons of Israel. I have taken
-
them from myself instead of every first issue of the womb, the firstborn of
-
all the sons of Israel. Just so you understand, God doesn't kill them.
-
He takes them to Mount Zion, and there for one thousand, two
-
hundred and sixty days, the Lord Jesus Christ cringed these children how to do
-
what they're going to do During the millennial reign of Christ. He just come
-
out and told you this all the way back in numbers chapter eight. I
-
have taken them for myself instead of every issue of the firstborn of all the
-
sons of Israel. For every firstborn among the sons of Israel is mine,
-
among the men and among the animals. On the day that I struck down
-
all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them to myself.
-
But I've taken the Leevites instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel.
-
I have given them Leevites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons and
-
among the sons of Israel, to perform the service of the sons of Israel
-
at the tentive meeting, and to make atonement on behalf of the sons of
-
Israel. And there will be no plague among the sons of Israel by their
-
coming near the sanctuary in the final time we go around this ride. Of
-
course, it's not the tenth of meeting, it's the millennial Temple. Correct,
-
jose Correct, Matthew. So if you were not familiar enough with the
-
biblical narrative to understand numbers chapter three, verses eleven through thirteen, and numbers
-
chapter eight, verses fourteen through nineteen, you would be completely confused about this
-
one group of one hundred and forty four thousand that's mentioned twice in Revelation,
-
right, Jose, Right, Matthew. But now you understand why he's doing
-
it. Now it makes sense, right, right. And I'd also like
-
to point out, Matthew more more more isochronal eschatology. The Levites had to
-
be cleansed to perform their duties, and that was with the many sacrifices that
-
are listed in the Book of Numbers. But the next time around the ride,
-
Matthew, the sacrifice that will be doing the cleansing will be their own
-
sacrifice, as we're described in Revelation chapter thirteen, and we're told in Revelation
-
chapter twenty what has to happen for them to assume their priestly duties in the
-
Millennial Reign. And the other connection, Matthew is the Levites don't receive an
-
inheritance in the Promised Land. And that's the same thing in the Millennial Reign.
-
Like what you told us, they are not going to be the bride.
-
They have a job to do. The bride is who's been promised to
-
enter into the Promised Land. And so that's that again, another correlation,
-
another way that God repeats himself and shows us over and over what he's going
-
to do in the Millennial Rain. We yes pose because you need to understand
-
what, ladies and gentlemen, you need to come to grips with one of
-
the primary titles of the Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
-
What I've read to you and Revelation chapter twenty makes it perfectly clear that this
-
group of one hundred and forty four thousand from Revelation chapter seven, they are
-
following pro Tota coast Necros. What is that? This is one of the
-
main I mean, it's amazing how people don't know it. I mean,
-
if you ask them one of the different names for Jesus, they will literally
-
list off everything but this Colossians chapter one, verse eighteen. He is also
-
the head of the body the church, and he is the beginning, the
-
first born from the dead in Greek. This is pro the ghost Necros,
-
so that he himself will become to have the first place in everything. Ladies
-
and gentlemen, That's exactly what Revelation chapter twenty says of this group. Now
-
they are resurrected and they rule with him. You must be resurrected from the
-
dead, the Greek necros. You must be resurrected from the dead in order
-
to fulfill the role of having the authority that is stated in the Book of
-
Revelation chapter one, verse five. Why do you think verse five is there?
-
And from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the proto ghost Negros,
-
and the ruler of the kings of the earth, to him who loves us
-
and released us from an hour since by his blood, ladies, did when
-
he's using this Firstborn from the dead, you're supposed to know that's exactly why
-
those who rule with him as priest have been resurrected. Because you have to
-
be Jose. When was the last time when you saw a list of all
-
Jesus's name? How many times do you see on that list the Firstborn from
-
the dead. No, it is not on their Matthew, they leave that
-
one out. And now that I say that, ladies and gentlemen, it
-
should rattle your cage to get you to set up and start asking questions like,
-
wait a minute, how many times did he say Israel in these passages,
-
ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna ask Jose Jose. According to the New
-
Testament Romans Chapters nineteen in the slu is Israel. Israel is Christians, Matthew,
-
those that follow the commandments of the Lord and follow the testimony of Jesus
-
Christ. That Romans tells us that plainly that's who Israel is. And how
-
many different types of Christians are there? There's two? Did Jew and the
-
gentile? Are the Jew and the Greek? It's that simple, ladies and
-
gentlemen, So you need to understand it. Both numbers Chapter three and eight,
-
the verses we read from when it was saying he was going to take
-
the clergy. I'm going to say what it is because I know I'm familiar
-
enough with God's word. That's what he means when he says Levi, ladies
-
and gentlemen. When he says he's going to take the clergy from Israel,
-
he's talking about the people who's going to be running the millennial reign of Christ.
-
Ladies and gentlemen. Of course, the bride of Christ. It's just
-
not going to have a job during the thousand year reign of Christ. You
-
get to enjoy the kingdom. You don't have to rule, and you don't
-
have administrative duties during them. When I point that out to people, it's
-
a shock to their system because let me just ask you, Jose, has
-
anybody ever told you that during the millennial reign of Christ, after our wedding,
-
we have to work and administrating God's kingdom? Has anybody ever said that?
-
And no, Matthew, I mean I've heard, well, I've heard
-
people say that that we're going to be those in Revelation, chapter twenty.
-
They allude to it, they don't come right out and say it. But
-
but no, that's not that's not something we've been promised, Matthew, that's
-
that's not our rest to go and work for a thousand years. How many
-
people people are just setting there in their car, or maybe they're at home,
-
or maybe they're listening to this at work, or maybe they're on a
-
walk. How many of them? Psyche is in a state of shock right
-
now? And when I stay psyched, ladies, now, I speak biblically
-
because my mother, my father, oh who raised me, they biblified me.
-
I'm biblified. So when I say psyche, I mean the Greek psyche.
-
That's your mind. I wonder how many of them are in a state
-
of shock right now because they know that what just come out of your mouth
-
it rings true, Jose. Of course, the bride of Christ doesn't have
-
to wait on tables during the millennial reign. Of course, the bride of
-
Christ isn't going to have to take out the trash. Of course, the
-
millennial. Of course, during the millennial Reign of Christ, the bride of
-
Jesus Christ is going to be on a honeymoon and the people who have to
-
run the kingdom of Jesus Christ is plainly described in Revelation Chapter twenty, verses
-
one through five. Hose, please read those for us. Are you able
-
to get a hold of Revelation chapter twenty, Yes, I can, Matthew
-
read for us the first five verses, because it makes it perfectly clear that
-
this group is not I repeat, ladies, Jha, this group is not
-
the bride of Christ. Read away. Please. Then I saw an angel
-
coming down from heaven, holding the key of the Abyss and a great chain
-
in his hand. And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of
-
Old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand
-
years. And he threw them into the Abyss, I said, the first
-
five verses of chapter twenty, Revelation twenty. Yes, the first five verses
-
you started reading in chapter seven or in verse seven unless no, Well,
-
well that's that my My my version is messed up, Matthew. Let me
-
jump over to a different one. I mean, I appreciate what you were
-
reading. I mean we could read after that, but you know, I
-
think you want me to start on verse four. Well, yeah, you
-
can start I mean, I said verse one, but yeah, you can
-
start in verse four. Okay, all right, I'll read. I'll read
-
that stanza. 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 a part in the
-
first resurrection over these. The second death has no power, but they will
-
be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand
-
years. This group is absolutely not the Bride of Christ, and it made
-
itself perfectly plain and plain English. They were obviously in the tribulation, had
-
been hunted down, did not receive the mark, and was beheaded. Scenes
-
how the Bride of Christ is going to be taken to a place prepared for
-
her by God himself. There's no possible way he ever was in danger of
-
the beast or the false prophet forcing her to take the mark of the beast.
-
That was physically impossible. So once you process this, Daddy, you're
-
really wait a minute, you're saying that that as Christians don't have to administer
-
the kingdom. No, no, because God never said that. God said
-
in order to run the kingdom you have to be beheaded. Now, what
-
blows me away is is when this group is talked about because people don't understand
-
what they're reading. They don't understand why it is that they're sealed because they
-
are. Let's read this revelation, Chapter seven, first four version, first
-
three verses. After this, I saw four angels standing in the four corners
-
of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that
-
no wood could blow on the earth, or the sea, or any tree.
-
And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having
-
the seal of the Living God. And he cried out with a loud voice
-
to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the
-
sea, saying, do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees
-
until we have sealed the bond servants of our God on their forehead. This
-
is why they could not take the mark of the Beast. That was the
-
whole purpose of this steal. Ladies and gentlemen, They're sealed by God.
-
So when you get to Revelation chapter thirteen, and when you read about this
-
nasty business with the mark, do you understand they can't take it. They
-
can't take it. But the one who tries to give it to them,
-
it has a fatal wound on its head. Now, it's amazing to me
-
how people don't put two and two together. Or what are you saying,
-
Matthew, that that's why if you don't take the mark of the Beast,
-
he beheads you because he has a I don't know. Let's just read it
-
verse eleven, Revelation chapter thirteen. I mean, technically, I don't need
-
to read it because I know what it says. I mean, I've written
-
this out in longhand in Hebrew and Greek. I don't need to read it.
-
I know what it says. I don't care about the stock market.
-
I have no idea what what Ford motors of stock is today. I don't
-
care, Ladies and Coleman. I don't have anything in retirement. I don't
-
have a four on one case I have. There's no savings. I don't
-
care about any stuff. I already knows. I already know what this says.
-
But now when I read it, now you're gonna know what it says,
-
because I pointed it out to you first eleven Then I saw another beast
-
coming out out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb,
-
and he spoke as a dragon. He exercised all the authority of the
-
firth beast in his presence and makes the earth and those had wown it to
-
worship the first beast whose fatal wound was healed. He performs great signs so
-
that even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth and the presence
-
of men. And he deceives all who dwell on the earth because of the
-
signs which was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling
-
those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast and who
-
had the wound of the sword and has come to life. And it was
-
given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that
-
the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not
-
worship the image of the beast who be killed ladies and gentlemen, the Levites
-
from numbers chapter three and numbers chapter eight. They can't take the mark of
-
the beast because God has sealed them. They've been sealed. They can't take
-
it. This is why in Revelation chapter twenty you heard Jose read it,
-
God repeats himself, says, by the way, this is the group that
-
couldn't take the mark of the beast. They've been sealed by God. They
-
couldn't take it. So they were promptly hunted down by the beast with the
-
fatal wound that did live, and he beheaded them. And because this series
-
of events transpire, they never was in the running to be the bride of
-
Christ, not ever, No more than the Levites were ever in running to
-
be the line of kings. I mean, there was no way for any
-
Levite to ever ascend to the throne of David. There was no way for
-
these Levites to ever become judges or anything else. Does everybody understand what I'm
-
trying to say? The Levites never had any say They could never be anything
-
but what God said, So let's talk about what could Zebulin do? I
-
love it when I say this in a pulpit or in a classroom, people
-
just look at me like they're stupid. Well, could they be farmers?
-
Yeah, to the sons of Zebulin build chips and start fishing? Yeah,
-
hey, jose were the Levites permitted to buy cows and start being ranchers?
-
No, Matthew, Ladies and gentlemen, this group of clergy is never going
-
to have a choice. This is absolutely nice, a chronal event and it
-
did you not hear what I heard in the verses? God said he had
-
sanctified himself. The event had effect did a change in he who sitteth upon
-
the throne. From that moment forward, nothing was ever going to be the
-
same. Did I just shock you? Nothing will ever be the same since
-
the tenth Plague? Nothing and Satan and all the God haters will eternally try
-
to exact revenge upon God for it. Oh, they hate his guts,
-
those that are not in Christ they hate him for this very event. They
-
hate him. Why do you think Herod try to wipe out the Lord Jesus
-
Christ? I mean, why do you think a has why do you think
-
he sided with the Assyrian and try to sacrifice emanual ladies and gentlemen. There's
-
going to come a time when Satan's going to conceive a very stupid thing,
-
and God himself is going to get involved, and it will start the tribulation
-
and there'll be no wishy washy feelings in your mind about Yeah, when does
-
the tribulation start? What event actually triggers the tribulation? Because like the first
-
Shield just says war so world War two? You know, how could you
-
know? Oh, I'm here to tell you the when it happens, it's
-
going to be authorized into u cranium. Jose Well, Matthew, you read
-
from Matthew twenty four where it talks about well into nursing mothers and I'm sorry,
-
we're all in to pregnant women and nursing children, right, yes,
-
But if we jump over to Luke twenty three, Jesus says something a little
-
bit different. He says, daughters of Jerusalem, stop weeping for me,
-
but for yourselves and for your children. For behold, the days are coming
-
when they will say blessed are the baron and the wounds that never bore,
-
and the breast that never nursed. Then they will begin to say, to
-
the mountains fall on us, and to the hills cover us. For if
-
they do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it
-
is dry? Now a couple quick points, Matthew, the blessed are the
-
baron what Jesus says there. I get this feeling that this is what was
-
said in Egypt as the firstborn were being struck down. And then, of
-
course where it says that the mountain's following us, that of course is the
-
sixth Seal, Revelation chapter six. But we get down to verse thirty one,
-
Matthew, when the tree is green is when those children are still here
-
on the earth with us, and when they're gone, the tree is dry.
-
And I think that's telling us about the one hundred and forty four thousand
-
in Revelation fourteen. And the second part of that verse is telling us about
-
one hundred and forty four thousand in Revelation chapter seven. God's God's giving a
-
warning to both both groups here in this stanza. Matthew. So that's that's
-
that's just blowing me away right now. Every time every time we look into
-
God's word Matthew, this just blows me away. But those are my thoughts
-
for that. I know there's a whole lot more in that stanza that we
-
need to cover, but I just wanted to bring that forward to reinforce what
-
you've been sing saying. When when that tree is dry, the false prophet,
-
the beast, they are going to go after those that those that have
-
to lose their head, those that won't take their mark. And Revelation fourteen
-
tells us that blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on,
-
yes as a spirit, so that they may rest from their labors for
-
their deeds follow them. And this is a little bit more of a detail
-
of what happens after that beast tries to put his mark on those on those
-
one hundred and forty four thousand, Matthew. So again God's telling us,
-
over and over again isochronally. He's using so much prophetic word to tell us
-
what is to come. And so I'm just trying to convey what I'm reading,
-
Matthew in a way that the listener can can remember it. That's what
-
I'm trying to do, and that's all we can do. I mean,
-
we've talked about this so many times, haven't we Yes? And you know
-
it's funny that you had no idea. This was in numbers chapter three.
-
Did you Nope, you had no idea. I mean up until this point,
-
I know that I taught it to you. There were two groups.
-
But before you read it and realized that, well, he's coming right out
-
and saying that there's the Leevites and there's the first groups. And there's plainly
-
two groups there, right, And he plainly said, I will read it
-
again because it can be so confusing to people that well it can. It
-
can brattle your cage. Numbers chapter eight, verse fifteen. Then after the
-
Levites may go into serve the tend of the meeting, but you shall cleanse
-
them and present them as a wave offering. Did you not understand what it
-
just said? I mean, I know what it says is so disturbing that
-
your mind's wanting to reject it. Surely didn't just say that Clinton have said
-
that Liz read it out of the KJV. And after that shall the Levites
-
go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and that
-
shall cleanse them and offer them as in the Levites and offer them for an
-
offering, ladies and gentlemen. This is why this has to happen. This
-
is why Revelation chapter seven has to happen. It's why we have to have
-
clergy. Of course, we're going to have clergy in the millennial reign of
-
Christ. Do you think Christ is going to be alone in the millennia of
-
temple with nobody to serve him or run things. Of course you're gonna be
-
levites. But you're just letting the nomenclature confuse you. It's the clergy.
-
The clergy were never allowed to be anything else. They couldn't build ships and
-
go fishing. They couldn't buy sheep and be shepherds. They couldn't buy cows
-
and be ranchers. I mean, surely this is common knowledge. And you
-
realize that on multiple occasions, God I had this. Let me challenge Jose,
-
Jose, what other event in history has affected God? I can't think
-
of one. Matthew, you can't think of one. Jose, you can't
-
think of one. But she made himself perfectly clear on multiple occasions. Let
-
me read it out of verse seventeen from Numbers chapter eight again, for all
-
the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast.
-
On the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I
-
sanctified them for myself. Mama bird. It is important. Ladies, gentlemen,
-
did you understand when it said Israel here it was talking about you.
-
I mean, I'm gonna push everybody to do something, those of you that
-
have the money to do so. We have wonderful things now that we didn't
-
have when I was in youth group. Because when I was in youth group,
-
they would literally buy scroll paper because back then you didn't have dry erase
-
board. So there'd be a great big roll of paper and the teacher would
-
stretch it out across the board and she'd write on it. When she was
-
done for the next lesson, she would tear that paper off, and it
-
was just like having a dry erase board. Do you know what I'm talking
-
about, Jose, Yes, Well, we have those, ladies and gentlemen.
-
We would put together the tables and stretch it out along and we would
-
have to write Romans chapters nine through eleven out by hand. Back then it
-
was KJV Virgin Well, now you can do this online. Did you know
-
you could buy these? Do you know you could just pay a company to
-
make a banner for you and have it and tell them that you want Romans
-
nine, ten eleven all on one page, tell them the font you want,
-
you know, I mean, aren't sure all of you have four one
-
K plans? Right? Don't insult my intelligence. I know you have at
-
least seven credit cards. Jose, you could literally do this this very night,
-
couldn't you. Yes, there's multiple companies that will do this for you,
-
right right. They'll put whatever kind of background you want. I mean,
-
they'll have it look like parchment if you want to, or they could
-
have it look like bridge. You could have any translation. I'm telling the
-
truth, aren't I? Jose? Yes, I strongly suggest you people do
-
this and you get it up on your wall, because what I've said tonight,
-
I can't change the dispensational scarring that's on your psyche. I can't do
-
it, but God's word can. And when you do this thing and have
-
it shipped to yourself, I mean, do yourself a favor and buy your
-
spouse or your children a Christmas gift worth having, because the clergy have absolutely
-
corrupted christ Church. Her Ezekiel chapter thirty four. You need to get this
-
done and get it up on your wall so they can read it and be
-
reminded of it all the time, all the time, because I'm telling you
-
who's done this to you. Cosey and I have done a short series on
-
it. It really is the bad shepherds. And Jose on the Great Day
-
of the Lord, is he in a good disposition toward his shepherds, know
-
Matthew, He specifically says he comes down with great wrath. Final comments,
-
Jose, Well, Matthew, I want to go back to numbers eight.
-
God says that the firstborn among Israel is mine, and he also says the
-
lee Btes shall be mine. Yes, But then he says, I have
-
given the lee Btes as a gift to Aaron, the High Priest, And
-
he just says the same thing the booker a Relation chapter fourteen. He takes
-
the first fruits of Israel with himself up to Zion and he gives those levites
-
to his son, our high priest in Revelation chapter twenty. So again Matthew,
-
God repeating himself, He's just saying the same thing. We just actually
-
have to believe it, that's right. And in numbers. Chapter eight,
-
when it says sanctuary there, whatever your translation says, you need to put
-
in it millennial temple. That'll get your mind down the road. That ladies,
-
the Lord, he's God. He's not like you. This is why
-
time is is a chronal, because when God speaks in the past, present,
-
and future, it's true. Let me say that again, when God
-
speaks, it's true, irregardless of tents, whether it's past tense, present
-
tints, or future tints. Ladies and gentlemen, He's God. Do you
-
not understand that? Do not understand that I can empirically prove just by ladies
-
and gentlemen. You need to know this. I know all of you have
-
been taught in Sunday school and in church and everywhere else that they were in
-
the wilderness for only forty years. Really does nobody know acts Chapter thirteen,
-
verse eighteen, because it doesn't say forty years. I mean, once again,
-
I don't need to read it. I know what it says. Listen
-
very careful, for it says about forty years. Why does it say about
-
ladies and gentlemen? Why doesn't it say forty Because you need to know it
-
has proven empirically that The forty years did not start until after the episode of
-
Cadesh Barnea, where the Sons of Israel were on the verge of entering Canaan.
-
You need to understand that the Bible clearly gives you by number one year
-
in five months before then, and in several times it doesn't give you the
-
actual numbers. I mean, we'll do this numbers chapter nine. I mean,
-
see if you're there, I mean, I know these things off the
-
top of my head. Okay, we're innumbers chapter eight. We just read
-
a bunch out of it. How does numbers Chapter nine start? Look it
-
states here. Let me just read it for you, numbers Chapter nine,
-
verses one and two. Thus the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of
-
Sinai in the first month of the saconteen year after they came out of the
-
land of Egypt, saying, now let the Sons of Israel observe the passover
-
at its appointed time. Ladies and gentlemen. The forty years hadn't started yet.
-
They were no, they were nowhere near when the spies entered the promised
-
land. Right, Jose Right, Matthew. So you need to know it's
-
forty two years, Okay, you need to know that. And the days
-
have been shortened because at least we're not going to be going through this for
-
forty two years. You're only to do it for forty two months. Once
-
again, I just shocked everybody. Psyche, You're like, what what did
-
you say? Look, I can do this off the top of my head.
-
So right now, just out of reading two verses, you know you're
-
one year and one month into it. I mean, what about? Uh
-
what is it? Is? It numbers ten? Yeah, numbers ten eleven
-
now in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth of
-
the month. Uh oh, so now it's it's it's what now it's forty
-
one month or years, two months and twenty days. I can do this
-
all day long because I know the Bible, God's Holy Word. I don't
-
think I believe it, I know it. And I'm telling you that I
-
could sit here and give you the verses in rapid succession that proves it's at
-
least forty one years five months, but on like seven or nine different times,
-
he don't tell you how long they stayed at that place. So I'm
-
just telling you the reason why the tribulation's forty two months long, because the
-
first time we went around this ride when God sanctified himself until the point where
-
they crossed the Jordan was forty two years because time is isochronal. Because God
-
chases after what's been. That's plainly with the Book of Ecclesiaste states. It's
-
just you have to you have to cross the bridge from belief unto knowing.
-
You have to know it. You just can't believe that. You know it's
-
written by God. You have to know it well. You talk about an
-
information dump. Yes, all from one verse or one couple set of verses
-
Matthew three and technically two because numbers in chapter three, verse eleven, you
-
really can't count that, but it is in the stanza, so it is
-
three verses. Right. Just know this, ladies and gentlemen, God fully
-
intends to sanctify himself again. And he don't care what you think. You
-
don't care what your opinion is about it. Take us out of here.
-
In prayer, Jose, dear heavenly Father, we continually give you thanks and
-
praise. Lord. We give you thanks for repeating yourself and chasing after what
-
has been in your word. Lord, we give you thanks for bringing us
-
your word in a way that cannot be corrupted or be changed by bad shepherds.
-
Lord, no matter what the way bad shepherds try to lead the ecclesia,
-
you repeat yourself so often, Lord, and so faithfully, that your
-
children will hear what you want them to hear. That your children will hear
-
the testimony of your son, Jesus Christ throughout your whole word. And we
-
thank you for this. Lord. I pray for the Ecclesia. I pray
-
that I pray that they be given health, that they be edified, that
-
they be strengthened, so that we may do your work Father, while there
-
is still time. And we ask all this in the name of your son,
-
our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen, and Amen.
-
