Do you know the Bible is God's Holy Word? Do you know it is
-
inspired, in errant, and infallible? If so, like, share,
-
subscribe and support this podcast. So we are Maranatha Ministries and now Reduction Draweth
-
Nigh. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program. We are
-
your host Jose and Matthew. Tonight, I threw josea curveball. I was
-
at work this afternoon and I read this post on social media and it just
-
caught me the wrong way. And I'm not going to give honor where it's
-
not due. This is a public post, so I can talk about it.
-
However, we're not going to say what, you know, what social
-
media site this was on or who did it, because that's absolutely irrelevant.
-
But it brings out some good points. And let's just cut right to the
-
chase. When I say this, this phraseology is probably going to in the
-
modern recent context, really make people mad, especially when I phrase it a
-
particular way. Hoose, What is people going to think if I use this
-
as the title for this episode, Forced Jewish Conversions, Well, they'll probably
-
echo back to the Crusades, Matthew. They'll probably go back to you know,
-
the time of the Inquisition, they're gonna think that this is a thing
-
of the past and that that it won't be happening today. But but we
-
know, Matthew, that everything is isochronal and people are people are gonna are
-
gonna anyways. That that leads me with it there. I would assume that
-
they would think that this is what Hamas or Hasbola is doing right now,
-
correct, Yes, I mean that's what I would immediately think. They would
-
get infuriated because you know, somebody was caught in Hamas of forcing Jewish children
-
to convert correct to Islam, right, yes, so just saying it this
-
is highly offensive, Yes it is. It is extremely offensive when when you
-
put it into that context that like, you know, forced Jewish conversions,
-
if it is happening now, I haven't heard of this happening. They of
-
course killed all the children, so they're not making any exception if they're Jews,
-
they're killing them. But people need to realize that this is what at
-
least half, if not more, of Christianity is. Actually that's what they're
-
teaching about the end times, and until you see them do it in print,
-
but it really gets your attention, It really does but I want to
-
read. I'm want to read from some of this post, ladies and gentlemen,
-
and when I do, it's going to get your attention. The end
-
of the seventieth week, the beast worship and the abomination will continue from the
-
middle of the seventieth week through the judgment that will be poured out upon the
-
one making the temple desolate. These judgment will consist of the plague caused by
-
the two witnesses and the vile judgments now by file. Some translations say bold
-
judgments ending with the anti Christ defeat and destruction at Armageddon. All the remnants
-
of Israel shall be saved at the second coming of Christ. All the righteous
-
will be resurrected at the coming of Christ. The timing of the second coming
-
is immediately after the tribulation. Armageddon speaks to the wrath of the Laman.
-
Is second coming at the beginning of the millennium, when Israel is restored and
-
converted and Christ takes the throne of David to begin his reign over Israel forever.
-
In this last phraseology, that's where you caught it that Israel is going
-
to be restored and converted. Ladies and gentlemen, this is absolutely what the
-
dispensation list. That's what they teach. That is to say, the rapturist,
-
they absolutely teach this. Now, Jose, how does that set with
-
you? Well, Matthew, that phrase should immediately catch everyone's attention because we've
-
repeated over and over on these programs what Israel, who Israel is, and
-
what it is, and we've stated that is those whom God has straightened,
-
and it is those are Christians, Matthew, those that have accepted His son
-
as their savior and have accepted the promise that came down through Abraham and resulted
-
in his son. And I don't again, it's the dispensationalism is the root
-
of this, Matthew. But I don't. But I think people read their
-
Bible and they think Old Testament means Jews and New Testament means Christians. But
-
even if you just given, if you do that, Matthew, you can't
-
separate yourself from the fact that God refers to Israel as Christians. So I
-
think I think there's a lot of people that don't want to be called anti
-
Semitic, so they don't say that in the modern times. But I think
-
that this dispensationalism has done a lot to to influence that as well, Matthew,
-
no doubt about it. Because I'm just reading this all the remnant of
-
Israel. Let me explain to you, ladies and gentlemen, what they're talking
-
about. They're talking about Israelis. I don't have to be antisemitic. I
-
don't have to mention Jews. This is what they mean. All the remnants
-
are the Israeli survivors of the Antichrist. They shall be saved at the second
-
coming of Christ. Why are they saying this, because according to this the
-
Christians have done been raptured, and the Christians are already in heaven. So
-
they're saying that we return with Christ, and we swoop down and save the
-
Israelis from the Antichrist. And they come right out in state. The next
-
thing that happens is the beginning of the millennium, Israel is restored and converted
-
to what they are, forcibly converted to Christianity because and this is just I
-
mean I read it to you. Listen, they are forced by Christ sitting
-
on the throne. Christ forced them. That's what this is saying. At
-
the beginning of the millennium, when Israel is restored and converted and Christ takes
-
his throne of David to begin to reign over Israel forever. They are literally
-
coming out and telling you that it's a forced conversion to Christianity, ladies and
-
gentlemen. That's heresy. I mean, the only one that's ever going to
-
force you to do anything is the one that states makes you take the market,
-
the beast, and that's the false prophet. Correct Jose, Correct Matthew.
-
Since when is I mean, Jose, a forced conversion to Christianity?
-
Is that that's the exact opposite. You don't convert to Christianity, ladies and
-
gentlemen. You accept him as your savior. It's a personal thing. Nobody
-
can force you to accept him as your savior. Now, when you realize
-
this is what they're actually stating, they're stating that the Jews get saved just
-
because they're Jews. They don't have to accept Jesus, and they never accept
-
Jesus. This is saying that. To process this in your mind, they're
-
saying that they accept Jesus because he saves them from the anti Christ, but
-
they don't accept him. Jesus saves them from the anti Christ and he forcibly
-
converts them. That's what do you make of that, Jose, Well,
-
it doesn't match up with anything that is said in the Gospels, Matthew.
-
Nowhere was Jesus forcing anybody to believes. Matter of fact, he was surprised
-
when he found faith. You know, he was constantly chastising the apostles for
-
their little faith. But whenever he'd find somebody that that would demonstrate their faith
-
to him, he was blown away, and he would tell him that your
-
sins have been forgiven right. And if we take this in the Gospels as
-
well, where Jesus is described as as the bridegroom and Christians are the bride,
-
then again, Matthew, he's not the bridegroom is not going to force
-
himself on the bride because that would constitute rape, correct, not consummation.
-
Okay, there's a wopping big difference between consummating a marriage and being raped,
-
right, correct. So literally, what you're trying to relay is the simple
-
fact that that phraseology you throughout the New Testament, you'd have to come to
-
the conclusion that Christ intends to forcibly consummate his covenant with the Israelis. Once
-
again, that's heresy, right right. Even God didn't do that, Matthew.
-
When he handed down his commandments and his statute, Sedan forced them to
-
accept them. He told them, you accept them, and I will bless
-
you. You reject them, and I will curse you. And he they
-
most appropriately and absolutely repeatedly rejected him until they crucified him. Correct, which
-
continues to this very day. But when somebody like you and I looks at
-
this and we know our we know our bibles, Jose, yes, Never
-
is it stated in eschatology some forced conversion of anybody. No, So yeah,
-
you know, let's do this. Let's go through the Romans Road to
-
salvation. This is the most famous. This is the easiest way to do
-
it. You don't have to write down a bunch of different book numbers.
-
It's just the Book of Romans and a series of verses. So let's try
-
this. Romans, Chapter three, verse ten. It is written there is
-
none righteous, not even one. Jose who does this include? This includes
-
Jews, Matthew, this includes Christians, This includes everybody, This includes every
-
nation, tribe, and tongue. Correct. Correct. The only one who
-
was righteous was the Lord Jesus Christ. So everybody else falls into this category,
-
even even Peter right, right, everybody, but even even Jesus.
-
Matthew minded his p's and q's, and he says, there is no one
-
good but God. He certainly did, he said, and he pushed it
-
with the question why do you call me good? Correct? So the next
-
one Romans three twenty three for all have sin and fall short of the glory
-
of God. This verset does nothing but qualify the previous verse. Nobody is
-
righteous because everybody has fallen short of the glory of God. Now it's imperative
-
that we understand that this is saying that we fall short of the glory of
-
God. Now, look, I don't care who you are or who you
-
think has done this. Jose, who on this planet has ever obtained the
-
glory of God? Did Moses? No, sir? Okay? Did John
-
the Baptist? Nope? Okay. Let's try Mary. How about Mary?
-
No, she did not. Matthew, Okay, how about the other Mary?
-
How about Mary Magdalene? Nope? Okay? How about Paul? No?
-
Is it possible? Is it physically possible for any one of us to
-
obtain and attack to achieve the glory of God. No, Matthew, that's
-
why we need Christ. Okay, let's move on to the next one Romans
-
five to eight. But God demonstrates his own love toward us in that while
-
we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. I mean, once you
-
read these in order, it is a mechanical perfection, isn't it, hosein
-
amen, Matthew. It is literally structurally perfect. So once again he tells
-
you the only one that has obtected that boy. That's that's kind of hard
-
to say. Christ is God, Amen, a man. So so it's
-
kind of hard to say that Christ achieved the glory of God because he is
-
part of the Godhead. But this clearly emphasizes that it's got nothing to do
-
with you because you're a sinner, right right, You're quite simply cannot be
-
qualified. And if this being the case, the only reason, the only
-
answer to this the question is that God loves us first. So God provided
-
us away to obtain what we did not have through Christ's sacrifice for us.
-
I mean, this is this is look, ladies and gentlemen, this is
-
taught to Christians in elementary school, in Sunday school. I should know I
-
memorize the whole thing. I mean, we have this on t shirts.
-
Let's go to the next point. Romans, chapter six, verse twenty three.
-
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God
-
is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. So this verse is an inversion
-
of the one before Christ died for us, and because he resurrected, we
-
can only obtain internal life in his resurrection, right right, I mean,
-
so far, is there any points to argue here? Nope, this is
-
perfect, Matthew. He is systematically telling you that it doesn't matter who you
-
are, doesn't matter if you're Greek or a German or Russian, you fall
-
into this category. He is making himself perfectly clear. It is it originates
-
from God, because He had compassion on us, the sinners, and because
-
of that the Lord Jesus Christ sacrificed himself, rose from the dead, and
-
that's the only way we can have eternal life is in the life of Christ.
-
It was very plain. There's really no debating this that this is categorically
-
saying you absolutely are not qualify no matter where you come from, no matter
-
when your event horizon was, It doesn't matter. Ose why don't you read
-
the next verses that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and
-
believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be
-
saved. For with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and
-
with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. How could that be any
-
plainer? By the way that was Romans ten nine ten. Can you elaborate
-
on that, Jose? I don't know how I can, Matthew, because
-
this is just it's explaining what a Christian believes. It's explaining why we put
-
our hope in Jesus Christ and why we believe the promises that God has given
-
us. This is our redemption, Matthew. And it's just so simple.
-
The steps that he said, life, death, Christ. This is systematic
-
theology in just a few short verses. I'll read the last one Romans ten,
-
verse thirteen. For whoever we'll call upon the name of the Lord will
-
be saved. Now this is paramount. In calling out to him and crying
-
out to him, you are acknowledging and accepting his sacrifice. Correct. Yes,
-
so this is the way it is, and it is no other way.
-
First for the jew and then for the gentile, it's this way,
-
and it's no other way. And to state something else is in opposition of
-
the Bible, God's Holy Word, it's in opposition to it. No one
-
is ever gonna get saved outside of accepting the Lord Jesus Christ. And there
-
comes a point, there comes this magical event horizon where that happens. And
-
I'm sorry if you don't know that. But what I'm telling you is the
-
truth. And there's verses here in this document that lays that out pretty squarely,
-
pretty plainly, pretty clearly. Now they reference in this document. Their
-
primary verse for this is Zachariah, chapter twelve, verse ten. It reads
-
as such, I will pour out on the house of David and on the
-
inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and supplication, so that they will look
-
on me, whom they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as
-
one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over him,
-
like the bitter weeping over a firstborn verse eleven. And that day there will
-
be great morning in Jerusalem like the morning of how to rim on in the
-
plane of Megido. The land will mourn every family by itself. YadA YadA,
-
YadA yoda. Jesus Christ himself told you when this was going to happen,
-
and that's a fact, you know. Let's read the Sun the summation
-
of this in Revelation chapter one. Yeah, the very first one is.
-
Now, if I read this whole stanza, it's really going to make itself
-
perfectly clear who he's talking about, because we know who becomes priest of God.
-
But anyway, I'll read verses four through eight. John, to the
-
seven churches that are in Asia, grace to you and peace from Him who
-
is and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven
-
spirits who stand before his throne, And from Jesus Christ, the faithful Witness
-
and the first born from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of
-
the earth. To him who loves us and released us from our sins by
-
his blood, and he has made us to be a kingdom priest to his
-
God and Father. To him be the glory and dominion forever and ever.
-
Amen. Verse seven. Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and
-
every I will see him, even those who pierced him, and all the
-
tribes of the earth will worn over him. So it is to be a
-
man. I am the Alpha, and the Omegas is the Lord God,
-
who is and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
-
So this is plainly saying when this is going to happen, and at that
-
point in time, it's way too late. Let me say that again.
-
By the time this event happens, it's way too late. That's why they're
-
mourning. Now. He says this exact same thing in Matthew twenty four.
-
Listen verse thirty. And then the sight of the Son of Man will appear
-
in the sky. And then all the tribes of the earth will moorn,
-
and they will see the Son of Men coming in the clouds of the sky
-
with power and great glory. And he will send forth his angel with a
-
great trumpet, and they will gather together the elect from the four winds,
-
from one undo the sky to the other. Nowhere do these verses ever say
-
that anyone is going to lay out what is described in the Romans Road to
-
Salvation that we just rented. Take the primary verse, the last one,
-
for whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved. Do
-
these verses say that anybody calls them the name of the Lord. Once they
-
see him, Jose No, Matthew, they mourn, right because at that
-
point they're dude, Now, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this
-
out. It really don't. But it's not until they say these things publicly
-
or put these things in print that it catches you sideways. Because we can
-
go to the return of Christ, we can go to Revelation chapter nineteen.
-
That's not a problem. And if we do, you're going to get the
-
same thing, because if you know what's happening and what's going down, this
-
isn't good. And I think I think we should hose Why don't you head
-
over to Revelation chapter nineteen. Please let me know when you're there. All
-
right, all right, I'm there you okay. So, ladies and gentlemen,
-
you have to realize that this is what the Bible says. The first
-
thing that happens when Christ punches through the upper atmosphere is we go through what
-
the Greek calls the alagis mathea. We are changed, and that is when
-
we're married to Christ. Is there any debate with this? Jose No,
-
Matthew. Okay. That being the case, let's pick it up in verse
-
seven, and just read to the end of the chapter. If you can't
-
please, I can. Let us rejoice and be glad, and give the
-
glory to him for the marriage that the Lamb has come, and his bride
-
has made herself ready. It was given to her to clothe herself and fine
-
linen, bright and clean, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of
-
the saints. Then he said to me, right, blessed are those who
-
are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said to me,
-
these are true words of God. Then I fell at his feet to
-
worship him. But he said to me, do not do that. I
-
am a fellow servant of yours and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus,
-
worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
-
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse. And he who
-
sat on it is called faithful and true, and in righteousness he judges and
-
wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head
-
are many diadems. And he has a name written on him which no one
-
knows except himself. He is clothed with the robe dipped in blood, and
-
his name is called the Word of God. And the armies which are in
-
heaven clothed and fine linen, white and clean, or following him on white
-
horses. And from his mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it
-
he may strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod
-
of iron. And he treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God
-
the Almighty. And on his robe and on his thigh he has a name
-
written King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Then I saw an angel standing
-
in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying,
-
to all the birds which fly in mid heaven, come assemble for the great
-
Supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings, and
-
the flesh of commanders, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh
-
of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all
-
men, both free men and slaves, and great and small. And I
-
saw the beast and the kings of the earth, and their armies assembled to
-
make war against him who sat on the horse, and against his armies.
-
And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the
-
signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark
-
of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive
-
into the lake of fire, which burns with brimstone, and the rest were
-
killed with the sword which came out from the mouth of him who sat on
-
the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh. Was there
-
any quarter given here, No, Matthew. At that point, the riot
-
had already made herself ready. So when Christ came back, it was just
-
to establish his kingdom. That's right. It made it very clear that the
-
bride had made herself ready, and what she made herself ready with was righteous
-
acts. Yep, there is no debating this. So a Jew that gets
-
caught here is damned at this point. I have no problem saying that,
-
because by the same stretch I will say this, the Russian that gets caught
-
in this maelstream is damned at this point. You can pick any nationality which
-
you think you are. This makes it perfectly plain why they mourn once they
-
see him heavy and bound. Now we can even track this down to a
-
specific event in time, a moment in time we know beyond any shadow of
-
a doubt Christ gets coornated at the seton. How many times have we read
-
this on air? Jose? Quite a few, Matthew. I mean everybody
-
should know it right off the top of their head. It's Revelation chapter eleven
-
fifteen. Right, Yes, we've read it. We've read it at nauseum,
-
at nauseum, we've read this. But ladies and gentlemen, it is
-
amazing to me that it's right here in plain English, and I can read
-
it for you again. Revelation chapter eleven, verse fifteen. When the seventh
-
angels sounded, there were loud voices in heaven saying, the kingdom of the
-
world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he
-
will reign forever and ever. So this means this event has not happened yet.
-
Correct, Hose, Correct Matthew. Okay, let's read the next first.
-
Then, the twenty four elders who sat on the thrones fell before God,
-
fell in their faces and worshiped God, saying, we give our thanks,
-
O, Lord, God the Almighty, who are and who were?
-
Because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign. And the
-
nations were enraged and your wrath came, and the time came for the dead
-
to be judged, and the time to reward your bond servants, the prophets
-
and the saints, and those who fear your name, the small the great,
-
and to destroy those who destroy the earth. What did he just say,
-
Now is the time for the rapture to happen. Correct, that's what
-
he just said. His boncerns the prophets, all the saints, everybody who
-
ever lived, small and great. They're all going to bed when when he
-
punches through the upper atmosphere. And it's saying at that same exact time is
-
when he destroys those who destroy the earth. Is does this require rocket scientists
-
degree Jose, Nope, that's laid out pretty plainly here, Matthew. It
-
is literally in Plaine, and I mean it's in Plaine English, Plain English.
-
We can also tie this exact event back to the timeline in Daniel chapter
-
seven. We know when this happens Daniel chapter seven, verse thirteen. I
-
kept looking in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven,
-
one like the son of Men was coming. And he came up to
-
the ancient of days and was presented before him and to him was given dominion,
-
glory, and kingdom, that all people's nations and men every language might
-
serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which will not pass away,
-
and his kingdom is one which will not be destroyed. This is the coronation
-
of Christ. This is a moment in time, and from that moment in
-
time forward, your future is but one of two things. It's just one
-
of two things. You're either going to live forever or you're going to die
-
forever. That's your options. It's laid out in plain English. In plain
-
English, you know your thoughts, ose, Matthew. I mean, we've
-
done shows on the Bad Shepherds, and we know that that happens. You
-
know, we've all experienced it, we've all seen it. But to think,
-
Matthew, that it's permeated so much that I can't I can't think of
-
a church that preaches what we just went through. Matthew, and I watched
-
I watch a lot a lot of people talking about the Bible, a lot
-
of people talking about theology. I watch a lot of stuff on that because
-
I want to know what everyone's saying, and I want to know where everyone
-
stands. And I don't hear this, Matthew. I hear the Romans road
-
because because there's lots of people that still believe in that and still know that
-
that's the way to salvation. But when it comes to prophecy and what God's
-
going to do, everyone's confused, Matthew. And that's to me because,
-
like you said, it's laid out plainly in his word. He's not trying
-
to confuse us. And how many chapters did you just go through, Matthew
-
where he says the same thing over and over? And it's only because bad
-
shepherds have pieced up his word and presented it in a way that fits their
-
doctrine or their ideologies that has everyone confused. Fits their narrative. Yes,
-
and that's all. It is a narrative because the verses that I read it
-
never said repent. It never said that they rejoiced and accepted the Lord Jesus
-
Christ as they're safe here. It said they mourned, and at that point
-
they very well should more. But the verses that I read from in Revelation
-
were really quite plain. Do you have one or two options? You can
-
either be dead in Christ, you can be alive in Christ, or you
-
will be exterminated because the destruction of the whole earth is going to be laid
-
at your feet. It grouped everybody else in with to destroy those who destroy
-
the earth. Correct, that's what it said. Yes, you realize that's
-
all the sins that's ever been done. I wonder if anybody has ever contemplated
-
the bravity of what that single verse said. If you are not found in
-
Christ, you are going to be to blame for the destruction of the earth,
-
the destruction of creation. And I appreciate that. I don't know why
-
this is, this is punched into the church today. Ladies and gentlemen,
-
I need to tell you something. There is no differentiation between severities of sins.
-
The Bible says this very plainly. No liar will enter the Kingdom of
-
Heaven. Yet it does not say that about a murderer. You need to
-
know this. If you're guilty of one sin, you'll be damned for them
-
all. So quit thinking in your mind that, Hey, I don't I'm
-
not a pornographer. I don't have any pornography websites on my laptop. Don't
-
think that just because you think that's a more severe sin than lying that you're
-
going to get away with it. Because let me say that again, the
-
Bible doesn't say that that all pornographers won't go to heaven. Now, that's
-
not it says. It says no liar will enter the Kingdom of heaven.
-
Jose. This is a true statement, right, most people. Most people
-
consider lying to be the least of the sins. Yes, the white lie
-
is Matthew, Oh my goodness, where does that even come from, Jose?
-
Where does that come from? So what's a black lie? Ye?
-
I don't know the difference, Matthew. It's false witness. But it's amazing
-
seeing how they just make it up as they go along. But oh,
-
my goodness, deceived you truly are. If you don't if if you have
-
been deceived this way, that you actually think that there's there's sins that are
-
more severe than another one. I you are truly deceived. Ladies and gentlemen,
-
You're You're truly deceived. And the only one who could have pulled the
-
wool over your eyes is you. And the only way out of this mess
-
is to accept Jesus Christ's death. That that's the only way out of it.
-
I don't care if you're a Jew or not. I don't have a
-
problem saying it because it's the truth, because the Bible goes way out of
-
its way to well, you know, we've been stating this a lot lately.
-
Everybody needs to get on audio Romans nine through eleven, and you need
-
to listen to it repeatedly. You need just to put it on loop,
-
because the only Jew that's going to be put back and in grafted into the
-
tree is the one that has done so in the Lord Jesus Christ and the
-
Israelis, they are not israel you are. You're Israelites, there Israelis.
-
There's a WOPPI big difference. And it's disturbing that people are using current events
-
right now. I don't know how. I mean, is it not true
-
that the Israelis have just bombed multiple refugee sites? Yes, they have.
-
Matthew, what kind of God hater would justify the murdering of children, ladies
-
and gentlemen. You've lost your mind. Someone have bewitched you if you actually
-
condone such actions. I mean, you've somehow you've become disconnected from reality.
-
But I guess it's was probably the same thing that convinced you that in the
-
United States Army going into Iraq and all of a sudden a million Iraqi civilians
-
were dead. That was just okay. I'm telling you something that happened in
-
the past that is a matter of public record. It's a matter of public
-
record, and for some strange reason, when it comes time to vote,
-
you are just waving your flags proud of it. Now, let's just cut
-
through the chase. So you know, when people stand up and say the
-
pledge legions to the flag, I don't put my hand over my heart and
-
I don't say the pledge of legiance to the flag. Oh, you can
-
ask my wife that. She'll tell you. Ask my children that my eldest
-
son has got pretty upset because I wouldn't do it. I don't fear nobody.
-
I fear God alone. I mean, the only thing we sew on
-
the planet is death. I mean, how many countries are we in right
-
now, Jose? The last time I checked was like five or six years
-
ago. We were like in ninety two countries. Yep. And we're not
-
there by invitation. Ladies and gentlemen, don't even try it. You know.
-
Some idiot had convinced me of that before me and my wife wound up
-
on the shores of South Korea, and we could not go out at night
-
or they would murder us. And once a month they would riot against the
-
post and we'd be locked down. So don't try to tell me what goes
-
on in Korea. Just don't try it. So everybody needs to start really
-
thinking about whose side they're wrong. Look, we don't rape people, we
-
don't lie to people, we don't steal from people, we don't bomb people.
-
Now, speaking of Korea, I'm a crack shot. There is a
-
firing range in Korea called SCHEDI do because the firing range is up the side
-
of the mountain. In my whole battalion, I'm the only one that scored
-
every single shot. But I'm here to tell you we do not assassinate people
-
with sniper rifles. I'll tell you some of the things we do. Do
-
We feed the hungry. Hey, Jose, who's the last wealthy Christian landowner
-
that you know? They sowed their fields so that they could feed the poor.
-
I've never heard of that being done. Matthew. We are way too
-
close to the end of days, ladies and gentlemen for you to be playing
-
games with God. And if you don't know what's coming. It's because you
-
have rejected his word. That's the only answer I can come up with,
-
because the Bible, God's Holy Word is very plain to the text what he
-
intends to do. I mean, I wonder how many of you were really
-
listening when I read from Matthew twenty four. I wonder how many of you
-
did not understand what it meant. Here. We'll read this again, and
-
then the sign of the Sun of Man will appear in the sky, and
-
all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son
-
of Man coming in the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
-
You know when this happens. We plainly read it to you. This is
-
the coronation of Christ, which is the seventh trumpet. So you know,
-
from this point until when Christ breaks through the upper atmosphere, there's seven bulls.
-
The document I was reading from they call those bows vile judgments, as
-
in not vile as an evil or unclean, but like a flask or a
-
beaker. That's what that word means. Guess what happens during that stretch of
-
time. I'm going to reach you the very next verse. But if you
-
reject it, I don't know how to help you, because God has repeatedly
-
said He's going to do this, but you've got it stuck in your mind
-
that this is before the tribulation never starts and you get raptured out of here.
-
But he said, now listen, hearken to my voice. No one
-
ever said that you were going to see the sign of the Son of Man
-
before the rapture. Right, you all know that. So what is he
-
talking about? In the next merders And he will send forth his angels with
-
a great trumpet, and they will gather together his elect from the four winds,
-
from one of this guy to the other ladies and gentlemen. This verse
-
never said it never said the angels were going to take you to heaven.
-
It said the angels are going to gather you together. This is Operation Eagles
-
Wings. For the entire duration between that event and Christ Perusia, the duration
-
of those seven bold judgments, everyone will see Christ heavy inbound. But at
-
that point you're already going to be gathered together. That's what Ezekiel says.
-
That's what Isaiah. Who doesn't say that, Jose, Yeah, it's everywhere,
-
Matthew, everyone says that. I mean Isaiah chapter forty says that,
-
right yep. It says that this happens via Operation Eagles Wings. Correct.
-
Yes? Is that not exactly what Revelation chapter twelve states, Yes it is,
-
And it even tells you when the angels gather it's after the war,
-
right, correct? So we could just throw literally thousands of points on this
-
timeline. Jose, ladies and gentlemen, you all know this. No rapture
-
teacher ever taught that you were going to see the sign of the Son of
-
Man prior to the rapture. So I don't see why when you read Matthew
-
twenty four verses thirty and thirty one, it didn't hit you like a ton
-
of bricks. Well, where these angels taking us? It stated plainly you
-
will be gathered together. Does it mention that we're going to be changed at
-
this point? Jose? Does it say we become like the angels when they
-
gather us together? No, Matthew, it makes no reference to our anatomy
-
changing, does it. No. That's because your anatomy does not change until
-
the perusia of Christ's Revelation chapter nineteen. Jose, you just read from it,
-
right, yep. That's when it happens. Does it say here that
-
the angels come and drop off white robes? No, Matthew, No,
-
no it doesn't. Ladies and gentlemen, No, no, no it doesn't.
-
No, it doesn't. As a matter of fact, you know better.
-
This is why the very next verse is the parable of the fig tree.
-
That's why, because you were supposed to know that Verse thirty one is
-
not the Perugia of Christ. No, it's not. No, it's not.
-
Boy, I've said some very hard hitting things tonight. Have in Jose,
-
Yes you have, Matthew. What would you have to say to counterbalance
-
what I've said? No? Just it's all true, Matthew, And it
-
has to be said because too many people are misunderstanding what God is said isn't
-
in his own word, we're told just by going through the road to salvation,
-
we're told how to accept Jesus Christ as our savior. We're told that
-
if we do that, and if we perform those righteous acts, that his
-
Holy Spirit will guide us. That's the function that the Holy Spirit serves to
-
instruct us and to lead us and to edify us. But that Holy Spirit
-
will only occupy someone who's performing those righteous acts. Matthew and through the Holy
-
Spirit it God will show you what is to come. It's not difficult,
-
it's not confusing. But too many people try to find a work around,
-
Matthew, and that's not that's not gonna work. Well, that's a good
-
way to put it. Why do they try to come up with a workaround.
-
Why on earth would you try to come up with the work around?
-
Because what he's got planned is by far greater than anything you or I could
-
come up with, So I it doesn't make any sense to me. You
-
know, perhaps I need to say this, Perhaps we should have give a
-
extreme extagy on. Well, you can't stop in Zachari chapter twelve. You
-
have to read the next chapter two. But ladies and gentlemen, you can
-
put this on the timeline, Yes, you can. You can put it
-
on the timeline. I mean, how's how many times have we done this?
-
I mean, how many times have I said let's do a chapter and
-
you're like, all right, you have no idea what we're going to get
-
into. We get into it and you're like, man, I know exactly
-
when that happens. How many time we did that? A foulony? Every
-
time, Matthew, even when we went through the epistles that are just supposed
-
to be personal letters from Paul's enter the churches, trying to tell him how
-
to how to be a good church. God says it in there too.
-
And you knew those chapters before we did them, right amen? Or did
-
you? Right? I mean the shining examples when we did one Thessalonians chapter
-
five, right right, he literally comes out and plain English and tells you
-
what he's gonna do. I mean, just like if we were have backed
-
up in Matthew twenty four, he does the same thing right there. What,
-
ladies and gentlemen, you think, I actually don't know what. Verse
-
twenty nine says, Verse twenty nine is six seal. Yes it is,
-
it is, Yes, it is verse twenty nine. But immediately after the
-
tribulation of those days, the sun will be dark and and the moon will
-
not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and
-
the powers of the heavens will be shaken. That's the sixth seal event.
-
Amen. So guess what, ladies and gentlemen, you probably should know this.
-
This, this is the sixth syl event. And verse thirty is the
-
coronation of Christ, and verse thirty one is him gathering you together. Well,
-
man, you just got the whole timeline, and you got three points
-
on the timeline in chronological order. Yes you did, Yes you did.
-
You thought for some reason somebody had you convinced that that that Christ doesn't get
-
coorinated. He's already coronated. That's not what the verses in Revelations said.
-
That's not what it's it said. He gets he gets coorinated in the future
-
at the seventh trumpet, that's what it said. And once he gets coronated,
-
then he stampedes across creation and everybody's going to see it because it's too
-
late. Once he's been coronated, it's a done deal. So these are
-
three successive verses that make perfect sense. They make they I'm sorry, they
-
make perfect sense. Daniel. Chapter seven was very clear. It said that
-
Christ was presented to God and it's then that he was given a kingdom.
-
That's exactly what it said, right Oseai, Yes it is, Matthew,
-
that's the coronation. That's the seventh trump Yes it is, Yes, it
-
is. Wow. I probably just blew some people away, didn't I.
-
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, unbeknowings to you God, didn't write the Bible
-
to confuse you. It's I don't know it, don't confuse me. He
-
uses pretty plain English. He says, it's the same thing over and over
-
and over and over and over. With that in mind, you know,
-
I could say more, but the Lord's telling me not to jose take us
-
out of here. At prayer Place, Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you
-
for giving us a chance to gether together, to reach out and receive your
-
holy spirit, to reach out and know that your son is there for us,
-
Lord, and to reach out and know that your prayers, that our
-
prayers to you are still heard. Father. Lord, I asked that whoever
-
seeks that road to salvation that you've shown us, whoever follows those steps that
-
you've laid out, whoever calls on your name, Lord, that they be
-
saved as as you have promised us, For we know the time is short.
-
And Lord, I also asked that you reveal the things that we discussed
-
today to more Christians, Father, so that they may be prepared for what
-
is to come, so that they may be ready for your son, that
-
they may make themselves ready as a bride for your son. We know this
-
is difficult We know the troubles that are coming, but we also know that
-
through faith in You, we will endure. You have promises that, Father,
-
and so I just asked that you continue to give us the strength to
-
endure. You continue to give us the love that we may share with others.
-
And ask again, Lord, that we be fruitful in the work that
-
you have laid out for us. And we ask all this in the name
-
of your Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen,
-
and Amen. I was hoping to get out of here. You know
-
what, that's just not going to happen. Ladies and gentlemen. Go back
-
to verse twenty nine on Matthew twenty four. You will take note that it
-
doesn't say the Great tribulation. It says the tribulation that's g twenty three forty
-
seven. Write it down. But then it says those days echinos in Greek.
-
You're supposed to know what those days are, because it's not the great
-
tribulation. Those days are two thousand, three hundred days. They are the
-
time when the four writers ride, They are the first four seals. That's
-
the tribulation of those days. He's not talking about the Great Tribulation because he's
-
expecting you to know that during the Great Tribulation, you will be gathered together
-
from the four winds by the elect angels that have won the war in Heaven
-
per Revelation, chapter twelve. Okay, that's why it uses these Greek words
-
in those days echinos, those days, it's not the day of the trip.
-
It means the tribulation of those days in reference to the tribulation he just
-
talked about. Which, what did he just get done describing? It's described
-
in detail in the first four seals. There'll be false cries, there's going
-
to be wars, rumors or force. That's perfectly describing the first four seals.
-
He's expecting you to know that. He's expecting you to have read his
-
Bible, the Holy Word of God, and believed it. He's expecting you
-
to have believed what you read. With that, Ladies and gentlemen, the
-
only thing I can I can try to convince you to is to believe it
-
when you read it. That's the only thing I've ever asked jose to do,
-
is just believe it. If you're going to do a Bible study with
-
me, when you read something, swallow it, because if you won't swallow
-
it. You're just going to confuse yourself. Have I not always said that?
-
Jose? Yes, yeah, Matthew. With that, ladies and gentlemen.
