025 Dry Bones

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 we're doing something that was just bouncing around

in Jose's head. He sent me a message saying, I got some verses

I want you to look at. I's been bouncing around on my head.

And I responded, I said, that's not a rock bouncing around in your

head, that's a boulder. This is a proverbial can of worms. As

far as eschatology is concerned, nobody wants to talk about it. Nobody wants

to talk about it because you know, we're all going to be taken to

Heaven, right And if that ain't the case, then we're never going to

go through the millennial reign of Christ because the preterist, of course, throw

out the millennial reign of Christ. So that's your two options here in the

West. You're either a rapturist or you're a preterist, and in both cases,

you don't have to worry about the millennial reign of Christ because you're going

to become like an angel, right, because you've done been raptured. So

you come to Earth and you experience the millennial reign as an angel, right,

hose Right. It's either that or you reject the millennial reign of Christ

and that never happens. God comes, God comes back. So that leaves

all God fearing Bible believing God will preaching Christians scratching her head because that's clearly

not what the Bible says. Jose, can you please give me that special

verse that tells me that on the return of Christ, I get taken someplace

else. No, there is no verse, Matthew that says that. But

there's no verse that says that, ladies and gentlemen, not one. So

this is the rear real crux of the problem with the rapture. The Bible

never says you're going anywhere. It says you stay here. It never states

that you go somewhere else. The never it states that that wherever you're at

is inside of creation. It never says you get relocated to heaven. Isaiah

never states that. When he does, he says it's bad. Ladies,

gentlemen. There's one one type of entity that wants to set their throne amongst

the stars of God, and that's clearly not a Christian. I know those

scriptures related to those those those things, that's all bad. If you desire

to do that, that's bad. So you're caught in this, this this

conundrum because once you familiarize yourself with the Bible is hard. One way to

do that, okay, that's to read it and when you're done, read

it again. And when you're done, read it again, and when you're

done, listen to it again. I cannot tell you how many times I've

read the Bible, ladies and gentlemen, because that's what I do. I

read study. I've put God's word my heart all the time. I don't

mean some of the time, I mean all of the time. So once

you've done that, then you begin to really see what is to come.

You really get to see it, and you really begin to understand, well,

if we're going to be here, and we are going to be here,

God clearly has an effect on us, and he clearly has an effect

on those people in the tribulation. And that ain't the same thing so you'll

be reading through the Bible and you'll stumble across these passages and you begin to

realize that. Let me say this to everybody. This is the simplest way

I can put it. Ose, do you not know that the spirit of

the Living God moves upon the surface of the water. Okay, let me

describe that for you. Okay, it's really simple. Okay, A marvelous

thing happens in the spring. It's a very marvelous thing. Everything just went

through a frozen drought. Right if you're in the northern latitudes, you're in

a frozen drought. You're dead as a hammer. You want to know why

does the spirit of the Living God move upon the surface of the ice?

No, ladies and gentlemen, everybody can tell you this. Come up here

to my home and you begin to really understand the principle of spring. Because

everything's dead. It's frozen to death. It's been frozen in a drought,

it's had no moisture for six months. Because God's spirit only moves on the

surface of the water. Ask any botanist this, or any zoologistice, Ask

any scientists this, and they'll readily tell you about the hydration principle. Once

God brings the rain, everything comes to life. You're supposed to know that.

As such, you should know. The Bible in multiple, multiple,

multiple, multiple, multiple, hundreds of instances, hundreds of instances, likens

the spirit for water because water is the primary, one of the primary essences

for life. You must have water and you must have oxygen, and you

must have those two things in a temperate climate, because the water must flow

for there to be life. This is elementary principles. So when you know

the physics of the matter and God starts talking this way, it begins to

make a whole lot of sense. That the Bible repeatedly states, as you've

heard jose and I talk about this, the birth pains begin when the four

spirits of Heaven start stirring things up. And you've heard me talk about before

the prophetic ramifications of the Assyrian as implicated in Ezekiel thirty one. It plainly

states that he gets his power from the angelic at the same time we're getting

our latter rain out pouring. It's the opposite for him. So the Bible

has some crazy language that it talks about, but it talks about it in

the most plain and simple terms in the most simplest of places. So,

Jose, why don't you describe your your thoughts concerning these verses and why it

was bouncing around in your head. Just give us your opening comments before we

take a look at these verses. Sure, Matthew, I've been I've been

kind of read dedicating myself these past couple of months to really kind of trying

to read the Bible again. That this is what I did when when I

first started being serious about my Christian walk, I read through the Bible straight

through, and you know, that was the first download or that, you

know, got all that information in my head. But Matthew, obviously I've

learned a whole lot more since that time. And I've still been reading my

Bible this whole time, you know, but it's been focusing on what we're

going to study about, what we're going to talk about. That's that's where

I would focus my attention. But but this time, I'm just I'm just

trying to read through the whole Bible. You know. I kind of set

up a little program, so I'm reading a little bit of the Old Testament,

a little bit of the New Testament again just to download that information and

and get that in there and put all the pieces together. And so as

part of this study, you know, you you you read certain you read

certain things, and and God just kind of puts a pinpoint, Matthew,

He just puts a placeholder there, and he says, okay, they remember

this, you know, And okay, all right, God, I'll remember

it. You brought it to my attention for a reason. If I get

if if I you know, if you open up a window of space and

time, I'll sit down and I'll dig into the original languages. But if

it doesn't, then it'll be a placeholder for when you do open up that

time. And so as we were going through our study for for our last

broadcast, Matthew, and we covered Ezekiel thirty seven, you know, all

the way up to the end. And so when I was reading over Ezekiel

thirty seven, that's where that's where God, uh, you know, redirecting

to that pimp a couple of pinpoints he's been leaving along along my path.

And so that's that's where, that's where, that's where the like you said,

the marbles the rocks started bouncing around in my head, piecing things together,

and just you know, something that I knew we had to discuss.

You know, it's it's kind of like a tuning fork, right, Yes,

ladies and gentlemen, every single verse has its own tune. And you

can call these things many things. I call them remembrancers. I'll read a

verse and it will trigger a memory. Hey, I've heard that before.

That sounds just like this other verse. So it's kind of like a tuning

fork, and there's no escaping it. Once you familiarize yourself with the Bible,

God's Holy Word, this will be done to you because this is how

God will speak to you. And when he speaks, you will hear his

voice. And this is one of the primary ways that we hear his verse

when something rings true. Let me say that again. Let me put this

to you, Okay, be very simple with you. You all know if

I say two horns, it's going to trigger remember insures in you from the

Bible, God's Holy Word. Now, most people will immediately pick up on

Daniel chapter eight. Right. Then I lifted my eyes and looked at behold

a ram which had two horns. Right, one was longer than the other.

Now you know that these two horns are given in verse twenty it says

very plainly why one of the horns was longer or more prominent, because it

represented the kings of media and persia correct hosein correct, well, ladies and

gentlemen. That triggers a remembrancer for me. You don't see it coming,

ladies, gentlemen, because it don't bring true with you. Then I saw

another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like

a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. I'm sorry, did I

just confuse the daylights out of you? Let me try that again? Okay?

Then I left in my eyes and looked and behold a ramp. What's

a ram jose? Rams of sheep? Right? Yes, okay, you

sure work cure on it, right, yes, which had two horns,

were standing in front of the cow in front of the canal. Now,

the two horns were long, but one was longer than the other, with

the longer one coming up last, let me read it again, and this

time I'm going to confuse you because I'm don't go back to the other chapter.

Then I saw another beast coming down up out of the earth, and

he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Lord your God basically just come right out and told

you where the false prophet was going to come from. I just sent a

shock wave through your psyche, didn't I. Look, I've actually taught this

to students in Junior Church. Those students was all ages, so they were

elementary school, middle school, and high school. It was all one class

because it was junior church. So that church that particular time, we'd have

Sunday school before church, and then during church, the adults would be upstairs

and I would have all the kids and they get me. I mean,

they didn't even It caused no consternation with them. They was like, well,

yeah, that's what he just said. So then they took it naturally

because it rang true to me. Well why because I believe, because,

ladies and gentlemen, I as a child. You have to understand that I

was taught this was God's word. I was taught that many different ways.

One of the ways was nothing was ever permitted to be on top of the

Bible. Anything, not a piece of paper, not a coffee cup,

nothing was to be on top of the Bible. And if it was,

my dad would have to remind me the lesson with his belt, and I'm

very grateful that he did, because now you can't take it from him,

because when I read about what the two horns are and God says it again,

I'm not like you. I'm reading every single verse as it is the

gospel truth because it is. So I'm gonna try this one more time.

We'll go to Revelation. We'll read then I saw another beast coming to bide

of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, and he

spoke as a dragon. Well, let's go back to Daniel, chapter eight,

verse twenty. The ram what you saw with two horns represents the kings

of media and Persia. I mean it rings true with me. No reason

why I have any question about that. And we all know that who do

the Jews? Who do the Jews say was an answer to this prophecy Who

told it? Oh, my goodness, who told them to rebuild the temple?

Jose Cyrus? Right, Matthew, that's right. Go ask a Jew,

Go ask a juda iSER. She will literally fumble over himself saying,

yes, that's Cyrus, Cyrus, Cyrus, because they love the temple itself

more than the Lord, their God, and they still do to this day.

So if you didn't know this, if this was a shock to your

system, you need to go talk to her if he'll talk to you.

But if he'll talk to you, he'll tell you that the prophecies and Daniel

was predicting the messiah ship of race. So why would you think the false

prophets gonna come from some other place? Jose, Why would you think that?

Have you ever thought about that? No? I haven't, But like

the rings true, I mean, let's not lie. All the rapturists have

declared from the pinnacle of every single temple that he's supposed to be a white

Caucasian leader from the European Union, right right, Well, I'm sorry,

but ladies and gentlemen, I never rang true with me. You can't.

You can't pull that wool over my eyes, because they tried to it the

first week that I started at an institution of higher learning, before I even

met my wife, they pulled that. I like, what are you talking

about? Look, you can open your mouth, but if it doesn't ring

true with me, I might allow you to speak and be courteous, especially

if other people there. But if it doesn't ring true with me. It's

just like trying to tell me that the sky is not blue. I don't

care if the clouds are there. I don't care if it's at sunset.

I don't care if it's ringing. I don't care if there's a tornado.

I know what ozone. I know what wavelength that refracts, and it refracts

blue. You call it sky blue. So now that we've said that,

I probably took everybody by complete surprise, didn't I jose, Yeah, So

what versions are we looking at? Hose, Let's where was the event horizon.

Let's look at the first burst that got you your attention. I guess

let's do that first. Sure, So that's going to be Ezekiel thirty seven,

verse six, Matthew. Okay, as I will put sinews on you,

make flesh grow back on you, cover you with skin, and put

breath in you, that you may come alive, and you will know that

I am the Lord. Now these first ten verses here at Ezekiel thirty seven,

Matthew. Of course it's the value of dry bones. People. People

reference that a lot, But it's talking about the spirit of the Lord coming

over these bones. It's talking about the four winds or the four spirits that

do this. You see, you see the word spirit throughout this whole,

this whole set of versus Matthew. There's no getting around it. And then

we're told in verse eleven that the prophecy is the whole. It's for the

whole house of Israel. That's what that's what the bones are and referencing.

Okay, so this is God putting back Israel together, right, putting we've

described it in the past, rejoining the Jews and the Greeks. That's right.

You know that there's a lot of ways that we've referenced at Matthew,

but this is God essentially reforming his body under his son. So that's the

one that caught my attention and redirected me to all the other placeholders that God

had put for me. I just kind of sensed the whole forest on fire

because you just confused the Holy Days, the Holy daylights at everybody, because

well, they've been programmed that that happened to the Israelis in nineteen forty eight,

even though that's diametrically opposed to every single verse written in a New Testament.

But jose and he says it in a way that you'll know. Why

are there two different types of bones? I'm sorry, ladies, Dylan,

did I confuse you? Can I really see things you can't see? Because

Jose didn't have to read it. I know what it says. I don't

think. I don't. I'm not like you. I don't believe it.

It's a fact, so I know it. You either know the fact or

you don't to one of the other. And this is the Bible, God's

holy word, So I know what it says because of fact. He puts

it very plainly that this creates a noise. Read for me Verse seven.

Jose, So I prophesied as I was commanded, and as I prophesied,

there was a noise, and behold a rattling, and the bones came together,

bone to its bone. This is the plain reference to there being specifically

two different types of bone. Correct, yep? Okay, So this is

just like there's two different branches from Romans chapter eleven. Right, yes,

okay, because that's very clear. There's two different types of branches. There

is a natural branch, which is the Jews, and there's an unnatural branch,

which is everybody else correct. Correct, So this is obvious Look,

who's Israel? Jose. I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, if you didn't

know, I'm gonna tell you right now. Not only Romans Chapter eleven,

the entire New Testament says that it's anybody who apps the blood of the New

Covenant from Jeremiah, and that's a Christian. Look, Jose, where are

you from? Where was you born? I was born in the deserts of

California. Matthew. Okay, so you're a Californian, right, yes,

Well, what happened a minute? What happened a minute you you accepted Christ.

I became a Christian. Matthew, you are no longer a Californian.

Correct. Now listen, ladies, gentlemen, you need to hearken to my

voice. The minute a Jew accepts Christ, they are no longer a Jew.

They are Israel. Okay, cool, now that you know that,

you know there were no gentiles gathered to the Middle East to nineteen forty eight?

Was their Rosee? No, Matthew, this is talking about that.

There is no raptured ladies and gentlemen, there's a relocation. We are gathered

together somewhere, and it's obviously what he's talking about. Because there's two different

types of bones. The bone on bone came together and it was so violent

it made a noise. These two bones in the Hebrew are noted as singular

bone bone. See, I don't have to ask the bad shepherd. I

just look at Hebrew from one tal I can look to Greek. So when

God opens his mouth, I know what he's talking about. It rings me

like a tuning fork. Maybe I've went on too long. So this has

grabbed you, that this is going to happen when we're gathered together. And

we can't be gathered together if we're all in separate places, can we?

No, Matthew, We're going somewhere, right, go somewhere, and when

we get there, that's when we have been put back together. Now,

I will say this, a very strange thing happens here, ladies and gentlemen.

So we know this is Ezekiel right, Okay, yes, what is

this very strange thing here? Verse four? Again he said to me prophesy

over the bones? Verse seven. So I prophesied as I was commanded.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, do bet. Don't that mean something? God's

not like you, He's not wishy washy. I think I've spoken of about

that. I think that would just be a great distraction to people, that

they would be overwhelmed as to what I'm saying. So the next set of

verses got your attention because it reminded you of this set of verses. Yes,

did you have anything else to talk about these verses before we moved to

the second set? No, I think we can move to the second set

of versus. Matthew, Right, A very good where's that at? So

where this took me was Luke chapter twelve, And I'll start reading from verse

twenty seven. Consider the lilies, how they grow? They neither toil nor

spin. But I tell you not even Solomon, in all his glory,

clothed himself like one of these. But if God so closed the ass in

the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace,

how much more will he clothe you, you men of little faith. Well,

now there's there's there's not a direct Well, there is a direct correlation,

obviously, Matthew. But there's a reason why I was directed to this

set of verses, even though it doesn't quite sound like what what Ezekiel is

talking about. But we can discuss this chapter first before I take you to

the to the connecting verse that helped me piece everything together. Okay, well,

I mean I appreciate that, but I mean I don't understand why didn't

you you finish breeding the stanza? I can? I mean, because he's

wow, man, ladies and gentlemen, wow, so many verses I could

just overwhelm people. Well, you have heard me and jose cover the chapter

that talks about you will not grow weary, you will not grow faint,

right oky, correct, Well, the only way that can happen is if,

like you have a smortgage board, right, correct. So isolating these

two verses inside of this stanza, I understand why you're going. But Jesus

is literally coming out and saying that after this event, you ain't gonna have

to worry about it. Yep. Now, for some reason or another,

we don't know what that is, but you need to understand it. He's

illicitly and especially you know you keep bringing that part and he talks about the

other nation's doing it, so it's obvious he he's alluding here too, that

this is after he's gathered you out of the nations. But anyway, so

I appreciate that you isolated these two verses, and that's absolutely absolutely correct.

And take note that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming out and telling you that,

hey, when these events happened, you're not gonna have to worry about

it. You're not going to be the same as you are now. You

don't worry. Oh my goodness. Ose you know about the politics in California,

right, correct, Matthew yep? Now, if I was to judge

by what off of what I see and what I hear, you would have

a very dark light cast upon you. Correct, correct, because you're from

California and they're God haters. Don't even try it. Yes, they have

an anti christ government, Yes they do, Jose yep. So it's a

very good thing that you don't concern yourself with California politics, right right,

because now you're a what I'm a Christian. You're a Christian. You're not

from California. You're from Christ. Do you know what that means? Yeah?

Christian means you're from Christ. That's why the Romans called us little Christians.

I'm telling you the truth, ladies and gentlemen. They of course first

did this at Antioch, where Antiochus epiphanies. Well, that's enough. We

don't mean to talk about that. So this has clearly got your attention here,

and I agree with you this this is intriguing. So so what's your

thoughts here? Well, Matthew, I think you know, when, especially

when I first started reading this, you know, when I was a baby

Christian, you know, I read this as to not worry about the problems

of today. You know, God's going to take care of you. The

way I the way I always I always thought about it is, you know,

as long as God has something for me to do, I'm gonna be

here. And and the day the day he has nothing else for me to

do, He's going to take me home. So that's kind of how I

would read these verses the baby Christian. But of course we understand that all

God's word is prophecy, and we get a little hint in verse thirty two,

Matthew, at the end of that stanza where God says, do not

be afraid, little flock or your father has chosen gladly to give you the

kingdom. And again that should automatically reference us, Matthew, to the gathering

that that you we discussed earlier. He's prepping us for this timeframe, our

time of testing that we're going to go through, the birth thanks that we're

going to go through. And he's even he's even given the the those that

are sealed by God, Matthew, he's even given them a little bit of

heads up here. So those set of verses just very prophetic. God.

You know what what Jesus is saying here, he's letting us know the same

way that we went through that that they went through Exodus, the same way

they were taken care of during the Exodus, it's going to be the same

thing again, and to remember it because he's he's repeated himself over and over.

Amen, absolutely agreed, that is what he's alluding to. And you're

right when you don't know it. When you don't when you're not familiar with

the entire text cover to cover, you think he's telling you not to worry

about you know what's going on right now. He's going to take care of

you just you know, have patients. You know, you get through it.

And on the surface, that is what it's saying, right right,

But he's talking about something a whole lot more grandiose than that. So definitely

it's triggering things with me. Now, that just may be me, but

it would seem that I'm pretty much sure all the profits make illusions or illustrations

to this. So I'm kind of curious as to where you went next from

here. Well, there's a specific set of versus Matthew that that tied these

two chapters together for me, and it's a chapter that we've discussed many times.

It seems like this, it seems like Isaiah forty one, Matthew,

is becoming the new Revelation twelve for me, because I keep coming back to

Isaiah chapter forty. But is that you remember our first our first few years,

it was always Revelation twelve. We're going to going to Now I keep

getting dragged back to Isaiah chapter forty, isn't it? Yes, Okay,

let me read from verse five, Matthew, Then the glory of the Lord

will be revealed, and all flesh will see it together. For the mouth

of the Lord has spoken, A voice says call out. Then he answered,

what shall I call out? All flesh is grass, and all this

loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower

fades, when the breath of the Lord blows upon it. Surely the people

are grass, the grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of

our God dance forever. What's your thoughts? You give your opening comments?

Right, Well, we're told Jesus tells us what we're compared to. We're

compared to the flowers in the field, and we're compared to the grass right

in the field. And so here we're being told that the grass and the

flower fades when the breath of the Lord, the spirit of the Lord blows,

blows upon it. So kind of seems like it's contradicting what Jesus said

in Luke Chacter twelve. But we know we know better than that, right,

Matthew. So if you take that right back to Ezekiel, what it's

telling us is going to happen when that flower fades, when that grass withers,

what God's going to do. He's gonna breathe on that and bring it

back to life. That's right, because flesh is all all flesh is grass.

Yep. So he directly tying these two chapters together and is say chapter

forty, Matthew, will he come out and said that in the last verse.

Amen, Look, Matthew is the in Matthew. That was Jesus talking

right. Verse eight says, the grass withers, the fire flesh, but

the word of that where God stands forever. So he's telling you that.

Look, he says, all flesh is gonna see this, but my people,

Okay, everybody else is gonna wither. Ladies general, I'm sorry if

you didn't know this, you only thought the tribulation was bad. Okay,

No, God is literally telling it that you're gonna go through the tribulation like

a zombie. Because I'm gonna tell you again, as I've told you one

hundred times before, the worst thing about the tribulation is you can't die because

God himself orders death to flee from you. But here, but the word

of our God stands forever, because his people is going to come together bone

to bone Amen? Amen. What's the two different types of boone Jews and

non Jews? And what makes them a bone? They've accepted Christ. There's

two different types of bone, but only one thing makes them a bone,

and that's the morrow within them, and that's Christ. What makes blood Jose,

the marrow within the bone? Amen. Amen. So if you ain't

got Jesus in you you're a dead issue. So he come out here and

said it. But the word of the word, but the word of our

God stands forever, and you know that. No, my people, I've

already told you. And by the way, I'm gonna make a stupid,

just a stupid comment. Here, read for me the verse phrase out of

verse six again, Please, a voice says call out. Denny asked,

which what I call? I'm sorry? Which voice? I'm sorry? Am

I stunning you again? Lady and gentlemen? Am I am I confusing you

again? Because this is the exact same thing I did to you in thirty

seven? Right? I pointed something out and I didn't finish it. Who

is he telling to prophesy here? Let me read it again verse nine?

Then he said to me, prophesy to the breath? Who who is God

ordering to prophesy here? Now that was one prophet, But now we're reading

in Isaiah, right, and Isaiah he says it's somebody else. It's not

it's not it's not Isaiah. He's hearing a voice, but it's not him,

right, jose Right? Are you starting to see this? Yep?

Because I am, because you gotta. I mean, we really don't need

to discuss it, because you can't take it from me. I mean,

we can talk about it, but there ain't no you convincing me. It's

something else. In Ezekiel, Ezekiel is ordered to prophesy, and then here

in Isaiah, Isaiah is hearing a voice that's not his own. Amen.

Amen. So I find these things very striking to me that we haven't read

too many verses here, right, these are two they're supposed to be separated,

right, I mean, Ezekiel thirty seven has got nothing to do with

Isaiah forty right, right, Really, it seems like to me Isaiah is

hearing Ezekiel. That's physically impossible. That's physically impossible, because okay, ladies,

and do you know how many years span between when Isaiah prophesied the coming

of the Assyrian and Ezekiel being in exile, because it was more in a

couple of years, right, Jose, Right, there is no physical way

that Isaiah is hearing Ezekiel. But of course that's really not the first time

that happens in Ezekiel. But anyway, your comments, Jose, yeah,

Ezekiel kind of gets around, right, Matthew, Well yeah, well,

well why do you say that, well, you cover further. No,

No, I I guess maybe I shouldn't a brought that up because we have

other verses to cover. But yeah, that you kind of see that whole

beaching across space and time, that that only God can do, and that

that blows me away all the time I see that happening. Well, I

mean it should I mean, should I point out the obvious here, let's

just point out the obvious. We'll go to his NCRE chapter forty. Where's

your first three? So he brought me here, and behold there was a

man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with the line of flex

and am measuring rod in his hand, and he was standing in the gateway.

Okay, the man said to me, son a man, say with

your eyes here, with your ears gives attention to all I'm going to show

you, For you've been brought here in order to show it to you declared

to the house of Israel. You see and behold there was a wall and

outside the temple all around. In the man's head was a measuring rod of

six cubits. Each cuba was a cubit and a hand breath. So he

measured the thickness of the wall one rod and one height one rod. Well,

let's jump over to Revelation chapter eleven. Then there was given to me

a measuring rod like a staff, and someone said, get up and measure

the temple of God and the altar and those who worship in it. Ladies

and gentlemen, you need to wake up. Ezekie'll just describe seeing John being

given the measuring rod. Kit. Yeah, you here, Let's try this

again. Go back to Ezekiel chapter forty, first three. Now already you

know that Revelation said that it was John who was given the measuring rock,

so he brought me there Behold, there was a man whose appearance was like

the pearance of bronze, with the line of flax and a measuring rod in

he's hand, and he was standing in the gateway, and he's the one

that measures it. Well, it's Revelation that says that, well, it's

John that's given the measuring rod. I'm not lying. I mean, we

keep having this conversation about ringing true, right right, Okay, So when

these things are said, if I've read the Book of Revelation one hundred times,

and i read in Sekiel chapter forty. I know who the man is.

The man is John, Yeah it is. Yeah. You can't take

that for me. You can't convince me it's anybody else. So I just

stunned everybody. I mean, they're literally shocked in their psyche because they've got

this. I don't know, ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what else

to call the propaganda. I mean, because whatever you're saying, if it's

not reading ringing true with what God's word says, you're just I mean,

you're opening your mouth and you're talking, but you're not saying anything to me

because it's not ringing true. It doesn't ring true to me. I mean,

I will be polite to you, but so so I'm sorry about doing

that in this episode. I guess. I mean, I've did this quite

a few times now, so maybe I should I should back away. So

ose, what are you making of all of this? I mean, because

something is going on here? Yeah, I'm just I mean, obviously everything

that God and Jesus says is piness for what is to come. Matthew,

and and he picks his his parables, he picks his analogies, he picks

all these different ways to show us. So that was I mean, I

keep saying, so we have no excuse. He's gonna tell it to us

way A, and then weigh B and way C, all the way all

the way down to Z and and then he's gonna repeat himself again over and

over, Matthew. And and like you said, all this is just a

hit remembrance arch. So when you see one verse, it reminds you of

not only another verse, but of two or three more verses, and and

then as you remember more and more, you get to piece everything together and

together, Matthew. And that's kind of what the next verse that that I

that I that I remembered, That's what it did for me. It has

a cascading effect. Yes, yes, I mean you're saying that one verse

led to another verse, led to another verse led to it. It had

a cascading effect. Yeah, it's kind of I don't know if you ever

played Mind Sweeper, Matthew, but it's this little game where you've got to

click on boxes to keep from and you can't pick the one has of mind

because then you blow up and you lose the game. But if you hit

the right box, it opens up maybe five or six squares and so then

it gives you a better idea where the bombs are, and you just keep

piecing your way through there. So yeah, maybe you'll hit one box and

you'll only uncover one one box without a mind. But if you click the

right box, there's there's numerous things that pop up, and so it gives

you a clearer, clearer view of the field. And so that's that's what

this these verses did for me, Matthew. And again everything nothing contradicts itself.

It's just verifying what I already know, and just give me giving me

another way to look at it and another way to address it, another way

to use it and to study it. Well, can I throw you a

curveball here? Yep? So, according to the dispensationalized rapturist, Okay,

Jesus returned secretly right, that's what they say. Yes, So can you

explain to me verse five. Then the glory of the Lord will be revealed

and all flesh will see it together. Amen, For the mouth of the

Lord has spoken, Lord hath Mercy. Okay, why do you think he

added that last phrase there? For the mouth of the Lord has spoken that

all flesh will see it and gather then verse six says, a voice cries

out when this happens, call out? Then, I answered, what shall

I call out? But I mean, what do you make of this?

This? Let's talk about this because you are familiar with the text. Where

are they getting this idea of a secret not return of Christ? They say

that that Christ pops his head into clouds, and I guess he sees the

abomination of desolation. It scares him, so he snatches up all the Christians

and takes them to heaven. So this is a secret event. I mean,

their entire theology is based upon this being a secret event. So what

do you make of that doctrine? Coupled together with verse five? Yeah,

I don't. I don't know how they can They don't read this chapter,

Matthew, because God, God's clearly saying what's going to happen. And it

matches what Jesus said in the Gospel of how he's going to return. Everyone's

going to see it the whole earth. It's exactly what it says here in

Isaiah forty vers five. So there's no there's no secret return, there's no

secret revealing. It's it's it's everybody knows what's going on, Matthew, and

it's not good. No nobody singing kumbaya. So wow, this is definitely

I mean, we haven't talked about too many verses here, right right,

you basically had four verse references, right, mm hmm yep. Now you

give well, I guess you give me one that we haven't talked about yet.

Psalm ninety correct. Are we gonna go there? Yeah we can,

Matthew, who have time? All right? Yeah? Sure we've got what

well we got wopping seven minutes left? Yeah, then I have I have

one more verse after this one too, that that I stumbled across. So

and I'm gonna start from verse three. You turn man back into dust and

say returned. Oh, children of men or a thousand years in your sight

are like yesterday when it passes by, or as a watch in the night,

you have swept them away like a flood. They fall asleep in the

morning. They are like grass which sprouts in you in the morning. It

flourishes and sprouts in you. Toward evening it fades and withers away. Now

this is this is, Matthew, where I'm telling you that you know gods

saying things from from two different ways to get it to stick in my head

right, So immediately when I see the word evening, that takes me to

John nine, where God says that we must do the works of Him as

long as it is day. Night is coming when we can do no work.

And so that that matches up right there with with those set of verses.

Matthew, we are grass, and eventually night is going to come,

and we're not going to sprout because no work can be done. Did you

hear that, ladies and gentlemen, he said we can't sprout? What does

that mean? We can't bud? But don't mean no blossoms. Do you

understand that without the sunlight we can't bud? What does that mean? He's

saying? There is coming a time, ladies, gentlemen, when you will

no longer be fertile. Okay? Does everybody know what fertile means? And

believe it or not, the Bible comes right out and tells you there is

a period of time that that actually happens. Yay, don't, Yes,

he does, Yes, he does. You don't. There's no need for

anyone to explain it to me or show me words at I know where it

is, Jose, and I have talked about this before, right, Jose,

Yes, this isn't our first rodeo. So when he used this phraseology

like that, we know this event is actually it's absolutely gonna happen. So

once again, on a different point, it rings true because what you said

rings true with me. You used the phraseology sprout because you can't sprout at

night, can you, Jose, No, you can't, Matthew. You

must have. You gotta have photosynthesis. Ladies and gentlemen. Without photosynthesis,

they ain't no grass sprouting nothing. It's not gonna happen. So I'm glad

you put it that way. Why did you put it that way to sprout,

well, Matthew, because it holds true for the analogy when we're talking

about grass and photos symphasis. It holds true also prophetically, because we know

there's a time when God won't be on that throne. He's getting up off

that throne and coming down here and bringing his wrath to the earth. And

at that point, Matthew, our prayers won't reach him. So no matter

how hard, at that point you pray for that lost one, there'll be

no one to no one to hear that prayer, Matthew. And so that

flock will not grow. The church cannot add that one lost soul after that

point, Matthew, Point well taken, point well taken. All right,

what's the last verse you got for us? So the last worst verse I

want to take us too is the Psalm one oh three, Matthew, And

I'll read from verse fifteen. As for man, his days are like grass

as a flower of the field, So he flourishes. When the wind has

passed over it, it is no more, and its place acknowledges it no

longer. But the loving kindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting,

on those who fear him and his righteousness, to children's children, to those

who keep his covenant, and remember his precepts to do them. And again

that win. Matthew is spirit again in verse sixteen. So this takes us

right back to Ezekiel thirty seven takes us right back to Luke twelve, where

we've been reading Isaiah forty and again he's repeating himself, what's going to happen?

Amen? Amen? I mean, isn't it? Verse five? Let

me just run up period. Verse five is operation Eagles, Yeah, yes,

satisfies your years with good things so that your youth is renewed like an

eagle. Yeah, I think, yeah, I thought this was. But

yeah, this you know this, This says, wow, you've got one

hundred and twenty seconds left. Wow, this is extremely prophetic. This stands

and you're ready here, you realize that, right, Yeah? And I

mean in the last Dands of Matthew, I mean that's the that's the the

exclamation player right there. Yeah, yeah, he's He's absolutely telling you that

what Jose, isn't God's throne presently established, God's thrown. Yes, okay,

So when God tells you something like this that verse nineteen, the Lord

has established his throne in the heavens, ladies, do not to scare the

living daylights out of you, because that means, uh, it's relocated.

You're just stunned, aren't you. You just you just your ears refuse to

hear what God just said. This is in the past tense. Look,

if there's a point in time where God's going to re establish his throne,

okay, you should be worried, shouldn't you, Jose? Yep? Okay,

because you all know this that right now his throne is established. That's

why, well, that's why the all the rivers run south, right,

Jose. Right here in the United States of America, all the rivers run

south except one. That river's here in my home. That's the Red River

of the North. It's the only river in the United States that flows north.

But anyway, you understand my point that there's a lot of things that

happens because the Lord's throne is established right now. It is the center of

gravity of creation. Do you understand what that means, Ladies and gentlemen,

We enjoy three hundred and sixty five day years, right, Jose, Yes,

we do, Matthew, because our center of gravity is anchored to our

son, and we go around that perfectly, right. We don't wander around

right, right. So that's why Jupiter keeps time. That's why let's talk

about the star we're going to now. I'm gonna talk about astrophysics. Right

now. You need to understand what I'm getting ready to tell you is true.

We're taking a path through the heavens. The Earth is traveling toward the

star Vega. We are coming from the star serious, what you call the

dog Star. What I'm telling you is true. All that's happening because the

center of gravity of free creation the center of gravity for creation is God's throne.

So if it decides to move anywhere, you're in a wopping world of

hurt. You're in a world of hurt. Well, I had a blast

tonight, Jose. Man, I just love talking about God's word. I

mean, just give me a chapter. How many times have I told you

that? Just give me a chapter? Man? Yeah, yeah, idiot

chapter. How many programs have we actually did like that? We used to

do that all the time back in the beginning, didn't we. Right,

we just have somebody, you know, send a suggestion, do this chapters

We would just on the fly. So this one was just one verse,

Matthew, and look at where it took us exactly. Amen. It rings

true, doesn't it? Yes? It rings true? All right, Jose

take us out of here in prayer, cap deary heavenly Father, whom we

love and serve, I thank you continuously and give you praise continuously for allowing

us to gather together, because we know you have said that night is coming

where we can do no work. So we thank you for the chance and

the opportunity to work while we still can, whether there's still light, work,

so that we can grow Your kingdom, Father, so that we can

draw more into your kingdom and towards your son work, so that we can

bring your Holy Spirit to those people that are in desperate need right now,

Father, so that they can understand the promises that you have given us,

so they can understand what is to come, and so they can know that

if they hold to your law and to your testimony, you will clothe them.

Father, you will feed them, and you will guide them. And

Lord, I just asked that you continue to bless us with the ability to

study your word and bless us with the ability to gather together so that we

can share with your ecclesia. Lord. And we ask all this in the

name of your Son, our Lord and Sabred Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen

and Amen. Until next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless out speed.
