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

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

  3. subscribe and support this podcast. So we are Maranatha Ministries and now Reduction draweth

  4. nigh. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program. Whe're your

  5. host, Jose and Matthew. I shall abruptly and straight away pass it over

  6. to Jose to bring everybody up to speed what we're doing, why we're doing

  7. it, and the importance of why we're going to do it. Jose,

  8. Well, Matthew we covered on the last show. We covered how Well a

  9. little bit more detail about the birth pangs and how God was telling us about

  10. the birth pangs and the Book of Exodus and more specifically, how God has

  11. that distinction between Egypt and Israel in the Book of Exodus and how we're supposed

  12. to translate that prophetically, how that distinction is going to take place once the

  13. birth pangs begin. We read Matthew twenty four and that gave us a lot

  14. more detail. We covered the first four seals, and then we began to

  15. cover the fifth seal because we talked a lot about that persecution. That's going

  16. to take place where you get the brothers being jealous of brothers because well,

  17. it seems like those Christians are doing a lot better than everyone else during these

  18. birth pangs, and so then that's when the persecution begins. But we ran

  19. out of time, so we didn't really have time to cover the sixth Seal,

  20. Matthew, the thing that kind of culminates the birth pangs and begin the

  21. tribulation, the great and terrible day of the Lord, when God comes and

  22. steps off the throne himself and comes down to prevent, you know, the

  23. taking of those children that we know, we've talked a lot about it,

  24. and he personally takes them up with himself up to Heaven. We talked about

  25. in Isaiah twenty six, talked about in Revelation fourteen. Of course the sixth

  26. Seal event. Revelation twelve tells us about it, lots lots more chapters that

  27. we can dig into that, Matthew. But of course, the way God

  28. operates, he brought this up in my in my daily readings that I do

  29. every day. I try to get a lot of reading in on not just

  30. on what we're studying, Matthew, but just general data input that I'm trying

  31. to get, you know, chapters that I'm going through a little discipline that

  32. I've set myself up for just again, just data entry, just to get

  33. these facts in my head and remind you cemented in my head. And of

  34. course God wanted to I guess he wanted this brought up today, Matthew,

  35. because during my readings after our show, this is what I came across,

  36. this specific set of verses in numbers chapter three. So we didn't really cover

  37. the last plague, the plague of the Firstborn, where God strikes down the

  38. Egyptians firstborn. It's the final straw that pushes Pharaoh to let the Israelites go

  39. to release them, and of course they flee, and you know, we

  40. have the whole events that transpire there with Pharaoh's army as the Israelites are fleeing

  41. to the wilderness. And we reminded everyone that this is the same thing that's

  42. going to take place that we see taking place in Revelation twelve. And so

  43. that tells us that the Book of Exodus is described the first part of the

  44. Book of Exodus to describe in the birth pangs before the your Israel goes into

  45. the wilderness. So as I was reading Numbers chapter three, Matthew, I

  46. came across these verses, and I'll let you. I'll let you comment first

  47. on what I've talked about before I before I start reading these verses. If

  48. you have anything to add before you jump in, Matthew, well, I

  49. just want to say this to new listeners. Everything that Jose probably took you

  50. by surprise, and let me add to it. You know, there's twenty

  51. one simple verses that comprise an entire book that most Christians are oblivious as to

  52. what it actually says, and that is only due to English translations. But

  53. ladies and gentlemen, you need to familiarize yourself with the Book of Obadiah.

  54. The Book of Obadiah describes this perfectly, perfectly well with a single verse,

  55. what he's been talking about in the importance of well the Firstborn. You think

  56. that it didn't have an effect on God, but it did. Now when

  57. I say that, usually it disturbs people. And I can clearly see people

  58. in the classroom start shifting around nervously because to you and I, you cannot

  59. affect he who sits upon the throne. I mean, we all have this

  60. picture seared into our brain that he has. He has eyes that you can't

  61. see because they're so bright, because they're like spotlights. And he has white

  62. hair, white beard. He's on this throne, and he literally never moves.

  63. He doesn't move. He's immovable. And I know this by speaking to

  64. many different people from just about every denomination under the sun, speaking to people

  65. all over the world who called themselves Christians. I got a kick out of

  66. when I went to a Korean church, and I mean yes, in the

  67. country of Korea, and I asked him this question. They described to this

  68. perfectly. Now. The only thing that really wavered to the left or to

  69. the right was what type of white garment he had. Some said they could

  70. see his feet, others said they couldn't, that the robe went all the

  71. way so that he couldn't see his feet. The only thing you could see

  72. was his hands and his head. So this should bother you that the verses

  73. that Jose's getting ready to read, God tells you that it bothered him,

  74. it affected him. And from this point forward, if you don't know about

  75. this event, you don't know about any event, because once Jose points it

  76. out to you, and you have ears that can hear and eyes that can

  77. see, and you realize what God is actually saying. You realize this completely

  78. changes the paragid. You realize that this affected him and there is no taking

  79. it back, and you can take this to the bank. God himself states

  80. that he chases after what has been Jose, all right, Matthew, So

  81. yeah, that's what you're talking about. There is isochronal eschatology, which is

  82. what we follow here at Maranatha Ministries. And so because we understand the six

  83. sealed event and what it means why God comes down, why he rescues those

  84. children that are threatened and takes them up to Heaven with him, then we

  85. can understand when we get to the Book of Exodus, and when we get

  86. to these verses and numbers, chapter three, what God is telling us isoconally.

  87. So I'm going to go ahead and read these verses for us, Matthew.

  88. I'm going to start in eleven and go through thirteen again. The Lord

  89. spoke to Moses saying, now, behold, I have taken the Levites from

  90. among the sons of Israel. Instead of every first born the first issue of

  91. the womb, among the sons of Israel. So the Levites shall be mine

  92. for all the first born our mind. On the day that I struck down

  93. all the first born in the land of Egypt, I sanctified to myself all

  94. the first born in Israel, from man to beast, they shall be mine.

  95. I am the Lord. Now this time, this isoconal event. God

  96. allowed lee Bites to say, stand as a substitution for not taking all of

  97. Israel's firstborn. But the next time around, Matthew to heaven and we're told

  98. that in Revelation chapter twelve and Revelation chapter fourteen. Why he does that.

  99. They are essentially the replacements for the fallen, the ones that are kicked out

  100. of heaven by Michael and his angels. God kicks them out of heaven and

  101. He's got to put someone in their place. And so this to me,

  102. Matthew cemented what we were talking about, the birth pangs, because this is

  103. the culminating event of the book of Exodus, and it's also the culminating event

  104. of the six Seals, and the culminating event of the birth pang. It's

  105. what starts the tribulation, that great and terrible day of the Lord. So

  106. again, I know we presented a lot of evidence on our last episode,

  107. Matthew. But this to me is just a a bigger nail that God is

  108. putting here in this in these events. For me, it's what he's showing

  109. me. So I'm just I'm just trying to find a way to convey to

  110. the listener why I feel this is a nice ccnal event and why it's important

  111. in understanding what is to come. Well, let me say this right off

  112. the bat. You cut out there for a second, and I don't know

  113. how much people heard because I'm not quite sure what you were saying. Okay,

  114. however, I shall fill in the blanks. Ladies and gentlemen don't understand

  115. this That Jose made it perfectly clear that Revelation chapter fourteen that's what is being

  116. discussed here. There is no there is no debating that in a court of

  117. law. Revelation Chapter fourteen comes right out and says this event involves the first

  118. fruits and they are taken to Mount Zion. Now, that is one of

  119. the very particular things that a lot of people have trouble with because they're so

  120. much I mean, there's so much bad teaching out there. It is absolutely

  121. mind boggling. But ladies, and gentlemen, you need to understand that the

  122. Book of Hebrews is very clear on what Mount Zion is, and it is

  123. not anywhere within the borders of the Israeli Empire right now Hebrews chapter twelve,

  124. verse twenty two. But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city

  125. of the Living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to a myriads of anil jewels.

  126. Mount Zion is God's thrown room. And you need to know that this

  127. group her the book of Obadiah the twenty first verse, this group gets taken

  128. to Mount Zion. That's exactly what is described in Revelation chapter fourteen. Yes,

  129. it is exactly. This is exactly what is stated. I'll read verse

  130. one. Then I looked and behold the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion,

  131. and with him one hundred and forty four thousand having his name and the name

  132. of his father written on their foreheads. Now, if we skip down,

  133. you know what, let me just read the whole thing. I mean,

  134. it's only like what five verses long, verse two, and I heard a

  135. voice from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound

  136. of a loud thunder. And the voice which I heard was like the sound

  137. of harpist playing on their harps. And they say a new song before the

  138. throne and before the fore living creatures and the elders. And no one could

  139. learn the song except the one hundred and forty four thousand who had been purchased

  140. from the earth. Verse four. These are the ones who have not defiled

  141. with women, nor have the They have kept themselves chased. These are the

  142. ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been purchased from among

  143. men as first fruits to God and to the Lamb, and no lie was

  144. found in their mouth. They are blameless. Now the problem is is that

  145. there's two sides to this coin, because the group of one hundred and forty

  146. four thousand in Revelation chapter seven is not this group. And if you had

  147. ears that could hear, God came right out and told you in numbers chapter

  148. three, he made himself perfectly clear. And to twelve. Let me read

  149. it one more time. Jose's already read it. Let me read it again

  150. again. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, now, behold, I

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

  152. the first issue of the womb of the sons of Israel. So the

  153. Levites shall be mine. For all the first born are mine. On the

  154. day that I struck down the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctify

  155. to myself, oh, the first born in Israel, from man to beast,

  156. they shall be mine. I am the Lord. Now, look,

  157. Jose, what were the levites. They were the priest, Matthew, They

  158. were the clergy. Hotly, yes, yes, they were the clergy.

  159. Ladies and gentlemen, You need to understand what he just said. This is

  160. what the Lord, God of Host is going to do. During the birth

  161. pains. There will be a whole lot of babies born. Now, just

  162. in case you don't know this, the birth pains are two thy three hundred

  163. days. Now. During this time, the Lord Jesus Christ. This is

  164. why he shot across the bow of pregnant women and nursing mothers. This is

  165. the whole reason why Matthew chapter twenty four, verse nineteen is there. Because

  166. God is going to take these children that are two years and under and in

  167. the womb. You can empirically prove that with Isaiah chapter six. God is

  168. going to snatch them from their mother's breast and from their mother's womb. This

  169. is why it stated two years an under, because they don't have their front

  170. teeth yet they're still breastfeeding. This is how the Roman soldiers determined which babies

  171. to slaughter when the slaughter of the Innocence happened. Ladies and gentlemen, you

  172. don't walk up to a baby's moment and say, hey, is this child

  173. two years or no? You stick your index finger in the baby's mouth.

  174. If they got their front teeth, they live. If they don't have their

  175. front teeth, you run them through. So you need to understand that what

  176. is being stated here in a nicer chronal event, these first born God's taking

  177. them to Mount Zion Hebrews two, well, verse twenty. God came right

  178. out and tell you where that's at. And you should know that if Revelation

  179. chapter fourteen is dead in the middle of the tribulation, because it's way before

  180. his return in chapter nineteen, you need to realize that he just came right

  181. out and told you He's taking these children to Heaven. That's exactly what the

  182. Bible says in more places than one. So who is this other group of

  183. scape goats, because that's what the group is. From Revelation chapter seven.

  184. Jose right, they are sealed by God. Therefore they cannot take the mark

  185. of the beast, can they. No, they cannot, Matthew. They

  186. are literally sent to their doom. There's only one way for them to die,

  187. and that's to be beheaded. And because of that, Revelation chapter twenty

  188. is very clear, is it not. Yes, they are not the bride

  189. of Christ, are they? No, they're not, Matthew. They have

  190. a job to do. Ladies and gentlemen, you need to hearken to my

  191. voice. I'm going to go there and I'm going to read to you what

  192. God himself has to say about it. This group that this happens to makes

  193. himself perfectly clear in verse four that they come to life and reigned with Christ

  194. for a thousand years. Do you need to accept that what this just said

  195. is true. We'll go back down to verse six and it says it again,

  196. Blessed and holy is the one who has part in the first resurrection over

  197. these. The second death has no power. But they will be priest of

  198. God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years. Jose.

  199. Just so you know, this group of one hundred and forty four thousand

  200. Levites, shall we say clergy, shall we say they are not the bride

  201. of Christ? They are priests. There is no consternation with what I just

  202. read here. There's no way you can counter it with Isaiah, with Ezekiel,

  203. Jeremiah. We can go wherever you want to, because I don't know

  204. a person living that's more familiar with the Bible, God's Holy Word than myself.

  205. Because all the people who trained me and raised me, they've already entered

  206. into their rest. So when you point these things out and you realize that,

  207. wait a minute, three short verses, God made himself perfect and clear,

  208. But it's really two because verse eleven just says and again the Lord spoke

  209. to Moses, saying, see, you could really throw this out. And

  210. what a really bog of your mind is when when people don't know that.

  211. By the way, just in case you didn't get it there, he says

  212. that. Five chapters later too, they're like, whoa, what do you

  213. mean by that? Well, I mean what I mean? I mean that

  214. Five chapters later he comes out and says it again. I mean if everybody

  215. would like to go to numbers chapter eight and see what it has to say,

  216. because this is true. I mean, look at verses sixteen and seventeen.

  217. I mean I don't have to look at them. I know what they

  218. say. Does that surprise you that I said that. I don't have to

  219. read it because I know what they say. But I will for your benefit.

  220. Thus, you shall separate the Levites from among the sons of Israel,

  221. and the Levites shall be mine. Now, look, ladies and gentlemen,

  222. that's why this first group of one hundred and forty four thousand from Revelation chapter

  223. seven, that's why they get sealed by God so they can't take the mark

  224. of the beast, and the beast promptly beheads them. Yeah, ladies and

  225. gentlemen, he just said that these Levites are going to be separated from the

  226. bride of Christ. You didn't catch that. Yeah, The only ones going

  227. through the tribulation are these that have been marked for death. Because you need

  228. to read Ezekiel chapter thirty four. Because God makes himself perfectly clear, redundantly.

  229. Jose, you and I have done a mini series on this, right,

  230. yes, we have. Let me continue on fifteen. Then after that

  231. the Levites may go in to serve the tent of meeting, but you shall

  232. cleanse them and present them as a wave offering. Did you not understand what

  233. God just said. He's talking about the Levites people verse sixteen. For they

  234. are wholly given to me from among the sons of Israel. I have taken

  235. them from myself instead of every first issue of the womb, the firstborn of

  236. all the sons of Israel. Just so you understand, God doesn't kill them.

  237. He takes them to Mount Zion, and there for one thousand, two

  238. hundred and sixty days, the Lord Jesus Christ cringed these children how to do

  239. what they're going to do During the millennial reign of Christ. He just come

  240. out and told you this all the way back in numbers chapter eight. I

  241. have taken them for myself instead of every issue of the firstborn of all the

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

  243. among the men and among the animals. On the day that I struck down

  244. all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them to myself.

  245. But I've taken the Leevites instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel.

  246. I have given them Leevites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons and

  247. among the sons of Israel, to perform the service of the sons of Israel

  248. at the tentive meeting, and to make atonement on behalf of the sons of

  249. Israel. And there will be no plague among the sons of Israel by their

  250. coming near the sanctuary in the final time we go around this ride. Of

  251. course, it's not the tenth of meeting, it's the millennial Temple. Correct,

  252. jose Correct, Matthew. So if you were not familiar enough with the

  253. biblical narrative to understand numbers chapter three, verses eleven through thirteen, and numbers

  254. chapter eight, verses fourteen through nineteen, you would be completely confused about this

  255. one group of one hundred and forty four thousand that's mentioned twice in Revelation,

  256. right, Jose, Right, Matthew. But now you understand why he's doing

  257. it. Now it makes sense, right, right. And I'd also like

  258. to point out, Matthew more more more isochronal eschatology. The Levites had to

  259. be cleansed to perform their duties, and that was with the many sacrifices that

  260. are listed in the Book of Numbers. But the next time around the ride,

  261. Matthew, the sacrifice that will be doing the cleansing will be their own

  262. sacrifice, as we're described in Revelation chapter thirteen, and we're told in Revelation

  263. chapter twenty what has to happen for them to assume their priestly duties in the

  264. Millennial Reign. And the other connection, Matthew is the Levites don't receive an

  265. inheritance in the Promised Land. And that's the same thing in the Millennial Reign.

  266. Like what you told us, they are not going to be the bride.

  267. They have a job to do. The bride is who's been promised to

  268. enter into the Promised Land. And so that's that again, another correlation,

  269. another way that God repeats himself and shows us over and over what he's going

  270. to do in the Millennial Rain. We yes pose because you need to understand

  271. what, ladies and gentlemen, you need to come to grips with one of

  272. the primary titles of the Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

  273. What I've read to you and Revelation chapter twenty makes it perfectly clear that this

  274. group of one hundred and forty four thousand from Revelation chapter seven, they are

  275. following pro Tota coast Necros. What is that? This is one of the

  276. main I mean, it's amazing how people don't know it. I mean,

  277. if you ask them one of the different names for Jesus, they will literally

  278. list off everything but this Colossians chapter one, verse eighteen. He is also

  279. the head of the body the church, and he is the beginning, the

  280. first born from the dead in Greek. This is pro the ghost Necros,

  281. so that he himself will become to have the first place in everything. Ladies

  282. and gentlemen, That's exactly what Revelation chapter twenty says of this group. Now

  283. they are resurrected and they rule with him. You must be resurrected from the

  284. dead, the Greek necros. You must be resurrected from the dead in order

  285. to fulfill the role of having the authority that is stated in the Book of

  286. Revelation chapter one, verse five. Why do you think verse five is there?

  287. And from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the proto ghost Negros,

  288. and the ruler of the kings of the earth, to him who loves us

  289. and released us from an hour since by his blood, ladies, did when

  290. he's using this Firstborn from the dead, you're supposed to know that's exactly why

  291. those who rule with him as priest have been resurrected. Because you have to

  292. be Jose. When was the last time when you saw a list of all

  293. Jesus's name? How many times do you see on that list the Firstborn from

  294. the dead. No, it is not on their Matthew, they leave that

  295. one out. And now that I say that, ladies and gentlemen, it

  296. should rattle your cage to get you to set up and start asking questions like,

  297. wait a minute, how many times did he say Israel in these passages,

  298. ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna ask Jose Jose. According to the New

  299. Testament Romans Chapters nineteen in the slu is Israel. Israel is Christians, Matthew,

  300. those that follow the commandments of the Lord and follow the testimony of Jesus

  301. Christ. That Romans tells us that plainly that's who Israel is. And how

  302. many different types of Christians are there? There's two? Did Jew and the

  303. gentile? Are the Jew and the Greek? It's that simple, ladies and

  304. gentlemen, So you need to understand it. Both numbers Chapter three and eight,

  305. the verses we read from when it was saying he was going to take

  306. the clergy. I'm going to say what it is because I know I'm familiar

  307. enough with God's word. That's what he means when he says Levi, ladies

  308. and gentlemen. When he says he's going to take the clergy from Israel,

  309. he's talking about the people who's going to be running the millennial reign of Christ.

  310. Ladies and gentlemen. Of course, the bride of Christ. It's just

  311. not going to have a job during the thousand year reign of Christ. You

  312. get to enjoy the kingdom. You don't have to rule, and you don't

  313. have administrative duties during them. When I point that out to people, it's

  314. a shock to their system because let me just ask you, Jose, has

  315. anybody ever told you that during the millennial reign of Christ, after our wedding,

  316. we have to work and administrating God's kingdom? Has anybody ever said that?

  317. And no, Matthew, I mean I've heard, well, I've heard

  318. people say that that we're going to be those in Revelation, chapter twenty.

  319. They allude to it, they don't come right out and say it. But

  320. but no, that's not that's not something we've been promised, Matthew, that's

  321. that's not our rest to go and work for a thousand years. How many

  322. people people are just setting there in their car, or maybe they're at home,

  323. or maybe they're listening to this at work, or maybe they're on a

  324. walk. How many of them? Psyche is in a state of shock right

  325. now? And when I stay psyched, ladies, now, I speak biblically

  326. because my mother, my father, oh who raised me, they biblified me.

  327. I'm biblified. So when I say psyche, I mean the Greek psyche.

  328. That's your mind. I wonder how many of them are in a state

  329. of shock right now because they know that what just come out of your mouth

  330. it rings true, Jose. Of course, the bride of Christ doesn't have

  331. to wait on tables during the millennial reign. Of course, the bride of

  332. Christ isn't going to have to take out the trash. Of course, the

  333. millennial. Of course, during the millennial Reign of Christ, the bride of

  334. Jesus Christ is going to be on a honeymoon and the people who have to

  335. run the kingdom of Jesus Christ is plainly described in Revelation Chapter twenty, verses

  336. one through five. Hose, please read those for us. Are you able

  337. to get a hold of Revelation chapter twenty, Yes, I can, Matthew

  338. read for us the first five verses, because it makes it perfectly clear that

  339. this group is not I repeat, ladies, Jha, this group is not

  340. the bride of Christ. Read away. Please. Then I saw an angel

  341. coming down from heaven, holding the key of the Abyss and a great chain

  342. in his hand. And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of

  343. Old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand

  344. years. And he threw them into the Abyss, I said, the first

  345. five verses of chapter twenty, Revelation twenty. Yes, the first five verses

  346. you started reading in chapter seven or in verse seven unless no, Well,

  347. well that's that my My my version is messed up, Matthew. Let me

  348. jump over to a different one. I mean, I appreciate what you were

  349. reading. I mean we could read after that, but you know, I

  350. think you want me to start on verse four. Well, yeah, you

  351. can start I mean, I said verse one, but yeah, you can

  352. start in verse four. Okay, all right, I'll read. I'll read

  353. that stanza. Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and

  354. judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had

  355. been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God,

  356. and those who had not worshiped the Beast or his image and had not

  357. received the mark on their forehead and on their hand. And they came to

  358. life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead

  359. did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the

  360. first resurrection. Blessed and Holy is the one who has a part in the

  361. first resurrection over these. The second death has no power, but they will

  362. be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand

  363. years. This group is absolutely not the Bride of Christ, and it made

  364. itself perfectly plain and plain English. They were obviously in the tribulation, had

  365. been hunted down, did not receive the mark, and was beheaded. Scenes

  366. how the Bride of Christ is going to be taken to a place prepared for

  367. her by God himself. There's no possible way he ever was in danger of

  368. the beast or the false prophet forcing her to take the mark of the beast.

  369. That was physically impossible. So once you process this, Daddy, you're

  370. really wait a minute, you're saying that that as Christians don't have to administer

  371. the kingdom. No, no, because God never said that. God said

  372. in order to run the kingdom you have to be beheaded. Now, what

  373. blows me away is is when this group is talked about because people don't understand

  374. what they're reading. They don't understand why it is that they're sealed because they

  375. are. Let's read this revelation, Chapter seven, first four version, first

  376. three verses. After this, I saw four angels standing in the four corners

  377. of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that

  378. no wood could blow on the earth, or the sea, or any tree.

  379. And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having

  380. the seal of the Living God. And he cried out with a loud voice

  381. to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the

  382. sea, saying, do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees

  383. until we have sealed the bond servants of our God on their forehead. This

  384. is why they could not take the mark of the Beast. That was the

  385. whole purpose of this steal. Ladies and gentlemen, They're sealed by God.

  386. So when you get to Revelation chapter thirteen, and when you read about this

  387. nasty business with the mark, do you understand they can't take it. They

  388. can't take it. But the one who tries to give it to them,

  389. it has a fatal wound on its head. Now, it's amazing to me

  390. how people don't put two and two together. Or what are you saying,

  391. Matthew, that that's why if you don't take the mark of the Beast,

  392. he beheads you because he has a I don't know. Let's just read it

  393. verse eleven, Revelation chapter thirteen. I mean, technically, I don't need

  394. to read it because I know what it says. I mean, I've written

  395. this out in longhand in Hebrew and Greek. I don't need to read it.

  396. I know what it says. I don't care about the stock market.

  397. I have no idea what what Ford motors of stock is today. I don't

  398. care, Ladies and Coleman. I don't have anything in retirement. I don't

  399. have a four on one case I have. There's no savings. I don't

  400. care about any stuff. I already knows. I already know what this says.

  401. But now when I read it, now you're gonna know what it says,

  402. because I pointed it out to you first eleven Then I saw another beast

  403. coming out out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb,

  404. and he spoke as a dragon. He exercised all the authority of the

  405. firth beast in his presence and makes the earth and those had wown it to

  406. worship the first beast whose fatal wound was healed. He performs great signs so

  407. that even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth and the presence

  408. of men. And he deceives all who dwell on the earth because of the

  409. signs which was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling

  410. those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast and who

  411. had the wound of the sword and has come to life. And it was

  412. given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that

  413. the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not

  414. worship the image of the beast who be killed ladies and gentlemen, the Levites

  415. from numbers chapter three and numbers chapter eight. They can't take the mark of

  416. the beast because God has sealed them. They've been sealed. They can't take

  417. it. This is why in Revelation chapter twenty you heard Jose read it,

  418. God repeats himself, says, by the way, this is the group that

  419. couldn't take the mark of the beast. They've been sealed by God. They

  420. couldn't take it. So they were promptly hunted down by the beast with the

  421. fatal wound that did live, and he beheaded them. And because this series

  422. of events transpire, they never was in the running to be the bride of

  423. Christ, not ever, No more than the Levites were ever in running to

  424. be the line of kings. I mean, there was no way for any

  425. Levite to ever ascend to the throne of David. There was no way for

  426. these Levites to ever become judges or anything else. Does everybody understand what I'm

  427. trying to say? The Levites never had any say They could never be anything

  428. but what God said, So let's talk about what could Zebulin do? I

  429. love it when I say this in a pulpit or in a classroom, people

  430. just look at me like they're stupid. Well, could they be farmers?

  431. Yeah, to the sons of Zebulin build chips and start fishing? Yeah,

  432. hey, jose were the Levites permitted to buy cows and start being ranchers?

  433. No, Matthew, Ladies and gentlemen, this group of clergy is never going

  434. to have a choice. This is absolutely nice, a chronal event and it

  435. did you not hear what I heard in the verses? God said he had

  436. sanctified himself. The event had effect did a change in he who sitteth upon

  437. the throne. From that moment forward, nothing was ever going to be the

  438. same. Did I just shock you? Nothing will ever be the same since

  439. the tenth Plague? Nothing and Satan and all the God haters will eternally try

  440. to exact revenge upon God for it. Oh, they hate his guts,

  441. those that are not in Christ they hate him for this very event. They

  442. hate him. Why do you think Herod try to wipe out the Lord Jesus

  443. Christ? I mean, why do you think a has why do you think

  444. he sided with the Assyrian and try to sacrifice emanual ladies and gentlemen. There's

  445. going to come a time when Satan's going to conceive a very stupid thing,

  446. and God himself is going to get involved, and it will start the tribulation

  447. and there'll be no wishy washy feelings in your mind about Yeah, when does

  448. the tribulation start? What event actually triggers the tribulation? Because like the first

  449. Shield just says war so world War two? You know, how could you

  450. know? Oh, I'm here to tell you the when it happens, it's

  451. going to be authorized into u cranium. Jose Well, Matthew, you read

  452. from Matthew twenty four where it talks about well into nursing mothers and I'm sorry,

  453. we're all in to pregnant women and nursing children, right, yes,

  454. But if we jump over to Luke twenty three, Jesus says something a little

  455. bit different. He says, daughters of Jerusalem, stop weeping for me,

  456. but for yourselves and for your children. For behold, the days are coming

  457. when they will say blessed are the baron and the wounds that never bore,

  458. and the breast that never nursed. Then they will begin to say, to

  459. the mountains fall on us, and to the hills cover us. For if

  460. they do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it

  461. is dry? Now a couple quick points, Matthew, the blessed are the

  462. baron what Jesus says there. I get this feeling that this is what was

  463. said in Egypt as the firstborn were being struck down. And then, of

  464. course where it says that the mountain's following us, that of course is the

  465. sixth Seal, Revelation chapter six. But we get down to verse thirty one,

  466. Matthew, when the tree is green is when those children are still here

  467. on the earth with us, and when they're gone, the tree is dry.

  468. And I think that's telling us about the one hundred and forty four thousand

  469. in Revelation fourteen. And the second part of that verse is telling us about

  470. one hundred and forty four thousand in Revelation chapter seven. God's God's giving a

  471. warning to both both groups here in this stanza. Matthew. So that's that's

  472. that's just blowing me away right now. Every time every time we look into

  473. God's word Matthew, this just blows me away. But those are my thoughts

  474. for that. I know there's a whole lot more in that stanza that we

  475. need to cover, but I just wanted to bring that forward to reinforce what

  476. you've been sing saying. When when that tree is dry, the false prophet,

  477. the beast, they are going to go after those that those that have

  478. to lose their head, those that won't take their mark. And Revelation fourteen

  479. tells us that blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on,

  480. yes as a spirit, so that they may rest from their labors for

  481. their deeds follow them. And this is a little bit more of a detail

  482. of what happens after that beast tries to put his mark on those on those

  483. one hundred and forty four thousand, Matthew. So again God's telling us,

  484. over and over again isochronally. He's using so much prophetic word to tell us

  485. what is to come. And so I'm just trying to convey what I'm reading,

  486. Matthew in a way that the listener can can remember it. That's what

  487. I'm trying to do, and that's all we can do. I mean,

  488. we've talked about this so many times, haven't we Yes? And you know

  489. it's funny that you had no idea. This was in numbers chapter three.

  490. Did you Nope, you had no idea. I mean up until this point,

  491. I know that I taught it to you. There were two groups.

  492. But before you read it and realized that, well, he's coming right out

  493. and saying that there's the Leevites and there's the first groups. And there's plainly

  494. two groups there, right, And he plainly said, I will read it

  495. again because it can be so confusing to people that well it can. It

  496. can brattle your cage. Numbers chapter eight, verse fifteen. Then after the

  497. Levites may go into serve the tend of the meeting, but you shall cleanse

  498. them and present them as a wave offering. Did you not understand what it

  499. just said? I mean, I know what it says is so disturbing that

  500. your mind's wanting to reject it. Surely didn't just say that Clinton have said

  501. that Liz read it out of the KJV. And after that shall the Levites

  502. go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and that

  503. shall cleanse them and offer them as in the Levites and offer them for an

  504. offering, ladies and gentlemen. This is why this has to happen. This

  505. is why Revelation chapter seven has to happen. It's why we have to have

  506. clergy. Of course, we're going to have clergy in the millennial reign of

  507. Christ. Do you think Christ is going to be alone in the millennia of

  508. temple with nobody to serve him or run things. Of course you're gonna be

  509. levites. But you're just letting the nomenclature confuse you. It's the clergy.

  510. The clergy were never allowed to be anything else. They couldn't build ships and

  511. go fishing. They couldn't buy sheep and be shepherds. They couldn't buy cows

  512. and be ranchers. I mean, surely this is common knowledge. And you

  513. realize that on multiple occasions, God I had this. Let me challenge Jose,

  514. Jose, what other event in history has affected God? I can't think

  515. of one. Matthew, you can't think of one. Jose, you can't

  516. think of one. But she made himself perfectly clear on multiple occasions. Let

  517. me read it out of verse seventeen from Numbers chapter eight again, for all

  518. the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast.

  519. On the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I

  520. sanctified them for myself. Mama bird. It is important. Ladies, gentlemen,

  521. did you understand when it said Israel here it was talking about you.

  522. I mean, I'm gonna push everybody to do something, those of you that

  523. have the money to do so. We have wonderful things now that we didn't

  524. have when I was in youth group. Because when I was in youth group,

  525. they would literally buy scroll paper because back then you didn't have dry erase

  526. board. So there'd be a great big roll of paper and the teacher would

  527. stretch it out across the board and she'd write on it. When she was

  528. done for the next lesson, she would tear that paper off, and it

  529. was just like having a dry erase board. Do you know what I'm talking

  530. about, Jose, Yes, Well, we have those, ladies and gentlemen.

  531. We would put together the tables and stretch it out along and we would

  532. have to write Romans chapters nine through eleven out by hand. Back then it

  533. was KJV Virgin Well, now you can do this online. Did you know

  534. you could buy these? Do you know you could just pay a company to

  535. make a banner for you and have it and tell them that you want Romans

  536. nine, ten eleven all on one page, tell them the font you want,

  537. you know, I mean, aren't sure all of you have four one

  538. K plans? Right? Don't insult my intelligence. I know you have at

  539. least seven credit cards. Jose, you could literally do this this very night,

  540. couldn't you. Yes, there's multiple companies that will do this for you,

  541. right right. They'll put whatever kind of background you want. I mean,

  542. they'll have it look like parchment if you want to, or they could

  543. have it look like bridge. You could have any translation. I'm telling the

  544. truth, aren't I? Jose? Yes, I strongly suggest you people do

  545. this and you get it up on your wall, because what I've said tonight,

  546. I can't change the dispensational scarring that's on your psyche. I can't do

  547. it, but God's word can. And when you do this thing and have

  548. it shipped to yourself, I mean, do yourself a favor and buy your

  549. spouse or your children a Christmas gift worth having, because the clergy have absolutely

  550. corrupted christ Church. Her Ezekiel chapter thirty four. You need to get this

  551. done and get it up on your wall so they can read it and be

  552. reminded of it all the time, all the time, because I'm telling you

  553. who's done this to you. Cosey and I have done a short series on

  554. it. It really is the bad shepherds. And Jose on the Great Day

  555. of the Lord, is he in a good disposition toward his shepherds, know

  556. Matthew, He specifically says he comes down with great wrath. Final comments,

  557. Jose, Well, Matthew, I want to go back to numbers eight.

  558. God says that the firstborn among Israel is mine, and he also says the

  559. lee Btes shall be mine. Yes, But then he says, I have

  560. given the lee Btes as a gift to Aaron, the High Priest, And

  561. he just says the same thing the booker a Relation chapter fourteen. He takes

  562. the first fruits of Israel with himself up to Zion and he gives those levites

  563. to his son, our high priest in Revelation chapter twenty. So again Matthew,

  564. God repeating himself, He's just saying the same thing. We just actually

  565. have to believe it, that's right. And in numbers. Chapter eight,

  566. when it says sanctuary there, whatever your translation says, you need to put

  567. in it millennial temple. That'll get your mind down the road. That ladies,

  568. the Lord, he's God. He's not like you. This is why

  569. time is is a chronal, because when God speaks in the past, present,

  570. and future, it's true. Let me say that again, when God

  571. speaks, it's true, irregardless of tents, whether it's past tense, present

  572. tints, or future tints. Ladies and gentlemen, He's God. Do you

  573. not understand that? Do not understand that I can empirically prove just by ladies

  574. and gentlemen. You need to know this. I know all of you have

  575. been taught in Sunday school and in church and everywhere else that they were in

  576. the wilderness for only forty years. Really does nobody know acts Chapter thirteen,

  577. verse eighteen, because it doesn't say forty years. I mean, once again,

  578. I don't need to read it. I know what it says. Listen

  579. very careful, for it says about forty years. Why does it say about

  580. ladies and gentlemen? Why doesn't it say forty Because you need to know it

  581. has proven empirically that The forty years did not start until after the episode of

  582. Cadesh Barnea, where the Sons of Israel were on the verge of entering Canaan.

  583. You need to understand that the Bible clearly gives you by number one year

  584. in five months before then, and in several times it doesn't give you the

  585. actual numbers. I mean, we'll do this numbers chapter nine. I mean,

  586. see if you're there, I mean, I know these things off the

  587. top of my head. Okay, we're innumbers chapter eight. We just read

  588. a bunch out of it. How does numbers Chapter nine start? Look it

  589. states here. Let me just read it for you, numbers Chapter nine,

  590. verses one and two. Thus the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of

  591. Sinai in the first month of the saconteen year after they came out of the

  592. land of Egypt, saying, now let the Sons of Israel observe the passover

  593. at its appointed time. Ladies and gentlemen. The forty years hadn't started yet.

  594. They were no, they were nowhere near when the spies entered the promised

  595. land. Right, Jose Right, Matthew. So you need to know it's

  596. forty two years, Okay, you need to know that. And the days

  597. have been shortened because at least we're not going to be going through this for

  598. forty two years. You're only to do it for forty two months. Once

  599. again, I just shocked everybody. Psyche, You're like, what what did

  600. you say? Look, I can do this off the top of my head.

  601. So right now, just out of reading two verses, you know you're

  602. one year and one month into it. I mean, what about? Uh

  603. what is it? Is? It numbers ten? Yeah, numbers ten eleven

  604. now in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth of

  605. the month. Uh oh, so now it's it's it's what now it's forty

  606. one month or years, two months and twenty days. I can do this

  607. all day long because I know the Bible, God's Holy Word. I don't

  608. think I believe it, I know it. And I'm telling you that I

  609. could sit here and give you the verses in rapid succession that proves it's at

  610. least forty one years five months, but on like seven or nine different times,

  611. he don't tell you how long they stayed at that place. So I'm

  612. just telling you the reason why the tribulation's forty two months long, because the

  613. first time we went around this ride when God sanctified himself until the point where

  614. they crossed the Jordan was forty two years because time is isochronal. Because God

  615. chases after what's been. That's plainly with the Book of Ecclesiaste states. It's

  616. just you have to you have to cross the bridge from belief unto knowing.

  617. You have to know it. You just can't believe that. You know it's

  618. written by God. You have to know it well. You talk about an

  619. information dump. Yes, all from one verse or one couple set of verses

  620. Matthew three and technically two because numbers in chapter three, verse eleven, you

  621. really can't count that, but it is in the stanza, so it is

  622. three verses. Right. Just know this, ladies and gentlemen, God fully

  623. intends to sanctify himself again. And he don't care what you think. You

  624. don't care what your opinion is about it. Take us out of here.

  625. In prayer, Jose, dear heavenly Father, we continually give you thanks and

  626. praise. Lord. We give you thanks for repeating yourself and chasing after what

  627. has been in your word. Lord, we give you thanks for bringing us

  628. your word in a way that cannot be corrupted or be changed by bad shepherds.

  629. Lord, no matter what the way bad shepherds try to lead the ecclesia,

  630. you repeat yourself so often, Lord, and so faithfully, that your

  631. children will hear what you want them to hear. That your children will hear

  632. the testimony of your son, Jesus Christ throughout your whole word. And we

  633. thank you for this. Lord. I pray for the Ecclesia. I pray

  634. that I pray that they be given health, that they be edified, that

  635. they be strengthened, so that we may do your work Father, while there

  636. is still time. And we ask all this in the name of your son,

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

  638. Until next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless, godspeed. Thank

  639. you for listening to Marinath the Ministries with Matthew Miller. I appreciate you tuning
