  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. We are

  5. your hosts, Jose and Matthew. It's good to be with you tonight.

  6. We're getting back to this very important topic Abraham, Isaac and Israel, and

  7. tonight's instance, we have to look at it is all encompassing as far as

  8. prophetic events go. There's just no other way to put it. Things happen

  9. here that they happen systematically for one and prophetically, we need to understand that

  10. this is all tied up with when Christians are to celebrate the first of their

  11. year. Now, if you're not familiar with Exodus chapter twelve, you need

  12. to go familiaries yourself with that, because God very plainly and very strictly states

  13. your passover that is the beginning of your year, and he says that emphatically.

  14. Now, if you don't realize that, there's a whole lot of things

  15. going into that, because you need to understand it ladies and gentlemen. Jesus

  16. Christ was crucified on the Passover. And when Daniel says that the Prince of

  17. the Covenant will be cut off in the middle of the week, he is

  18. talking about the week of the feast of unleaven bread. And you need to

  19. understand that Jesus Christ rose in the middle of the feast of unleavened bread.

  20. Yes he did. And you're supposed to know as a Christian, the most

  21. important holiday is supposed to be the Feast of the Ascension. But the god

  22. haters have really played that up well. They changed its name to Easter.

  23. So Christians are so separated, they're so disconnected from the reality of what Passover

  24. presents. It's quite discouraging to those of us who have written the word of

  25. the Lord, our God upon our hearts. Because I don't even care about

  26. Rashashana. I don't care about the feast of trumpets. I don't care.

  27. I have the wherewethought of understand, there was two witnesses standing there with the

  28. disciples of that and they said, hey, by the way, and just

  29. the same way he went up, he's going to come back down. And

  30. if you don't know when that happened. If you don't know what was going

  31. on, it's, like I said, it's quite discouraging to those of us

  32. who know God's word. So, Jose, what's your opening comments on this

  33. particular chapter we're going to be looking at today. Well, Matthew, this

  34. this just plays off of all the recent episodes we've been doing, and we

  35. kind of started all this off discussing a has and everything he did to the

  36. to the Temple of the Lord, and so here we kind of see the

  37. culmination of that where his son has Akiah, who we know isocronal ly the

  38. prophet. Isaiah had that prophecy that let us know about a Manuel, and

  39. here has Akiah is playing his role as a manual. But this is where

  40. Hesekiah goes and makes everything right from what his that the evils and the blasphemies

  41. that his father was doing. And so I just think it's a fitting chapter

  42. that that it's at the end of this series, Matthew, that we've been

  43. looking over this Abraham, Isaac and Israel series, and again it's regarding the

  44. feast, it's regarding the passover, and but this is a very special one,

  45. Matthew. Not at the normal appointed time. But it is a time

  46. that ha has been accounted for by the Lord in the in the previous,

  47. in our previous readings of the Bible. So it's not something that the Lord

  48. did not foresee coming, because he made a provision for this type of instance

  49. to happen. So, boy, Matthew, this is just more more more

  50. data to cram into your head, you know, And it's it's almost like

  51. I didn't think there was room for more, but now now you now,

  52. I gotta stuff this in there and I gotta process it. You know that

  53. that data processors gotta gotta turn for a while to get this to fit in.

  54. But there's just this is again amazing chapter and the very fact that that

  55. God's using that that prayer of Abraham, Isaac and Israel in he in this

  56. chapter again, it's just fitting Matthew. Well, you know it's off the

  57. hook how this chapter ends. Something said here that I don't even well,

  58. I have looked at this at great length. I pushed my teachers about it.

  59. I've pushed my pastor about it. Because this verse is disconnected from a

  60. normal narrative. And I'll read it, and I'm sorry if you don't know

  61. anything about this verse, Ladies and gentlemen. That's not Jose and mine's fault.

  62. But if you didn't have a preacher point this out to you or your

  63. Sunday school teacher, it tells me that you probably never studied this chapter in

  64. light of Bible prophecy. But verse twenty seven, by the way, did

  65. we tell it everybody? The chapter it? I don't think we did.

  66. This is Second Chronicles, chapter thirty, verse twenty seven. Then the levitical

  67. priest arose and blessed the people, and their voice was heard, and their

  68. prayer came to his holy dwelling place to heaven. Ladies and gentlemen, What

  69. kind of statement is that? I mean, I know what prophetically it's speaking

  70. about. The book Revelation has this very same thing, how the prayers of

  71. the saints go up before the throne of God. Right, Jose, Yes,

  72. But did you I mean, we just we just studied when David gave

  73. his prayer and blessing right right. It doesn't say God literally heard that in

  74. his dwelling place in heaven, though, does it? No? And we

  75. got to admit that solemn prayed. I mean, you know, Paul prayed,

  76. right, Mary, prayed. But no, no, no, this

  77. is something different. Now, what's more important about this? You would think

  78. that you would think that only the Jewish people heard this, right, Well,

  79. you need to go back up two verses because it says something that shouldn't

  80. be here. All the Assembly of Judah rejoiced, and the priest and the

  81. levies and all the assembly that came from Israel, both the sojourners who came

  82. from the land of Israel and those living in Judah. Of course, if

  83. you haven't read the chapter, you don't know what's going on. You don't

  84. know who these people are. But something's terribly wrong here. How is their

  85. sojournals in with the Assembly of Judah. They're at Jerusalem at the Holy Temple.

  86. Nobody else is supposed to be there. So I hope I've got your

  87. curiosity gears at least rolling, because this is this is good stuff. And

  88. if you're not expecting it, you're going to hear about the Assyrian false prophet.

  89. It's he's impregnated into this chapter. So Jose's going to read this,

  90. He's going to read the whole thing. And uh, you need to listen

  91. with ears that can hear, because this is important. And remember, I'm

  92. going to remind you what Jose and I shared on previous broadcast. In this

  93. series, Ladies and gentlemen, a has was trying to kill the immanual child,

  94. but he didn't know he'd been caught out of time. He didn't realize

  95. that God had already already produced the child. It was Azekaya. But this

  96. is why it says that that his dad. It kept saying that he was

  97. sacrificing his children because Isaiah had told him he was going to have an emmanual

  98. child, so he was trying to sacrifice it because he had followed he had

  99. played the harlot with the Assyrian. So keep all that in your back pocket

  100. because you're going to need it when we read through this. So Jose,

  101. you ready to read? And how much A you're going to read? I

  102. really don't care if you break it up. Do your thing, Okay,

  103. all right, I can do that. So we're again, we're in Second

  104. Chronicles, chapter thirty, and I'm reading out of the NASB nineteen ninety five.

  105. Now Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah and wrote letters also to Ephraim

  106. and Manassa that they should come to the house of the Lord at Jerusalem to

  107. celebrate the Passover to the Lord God of Israel. For the King and his

  108. princes and all the assembly in Jerusalem had decided to celebrate the Passover in the

  109. second month, since they could not celebrate it at the time because the priests

  110. had not consecrated themselves in sufficient numbers, nor had the people been gathered to

  111. Jerusalem. Thus the thing was right in the sight of the King and all

  112. the assembly, so they established a decree to circulate a proclamation throughout all Israel

  113. from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to celebrate the Passover to

  114. the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem, for they had not celebrated it in

  115. great numbers, as it was prescribed. The couriers went through all Israel and

  116. Judah with the letters from the hand of the King and his princes, even

  117. according to the command of the King, saying, O, sons of Israel,

  118. return to the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, that he

  119. may return to those of you who escaped and are left from the hand of

  120. the kings of Assyria. Do not be like your fathers and your brothers,

  121. who were unfaithful to the Lord God of their fathers, so that he made

  122. them a whore. As you see. Now, do not stiffen your neck

  123. like your fathers, but yield to the Lord and enter his sanctuary, which

  124. he has consecrated forever. And serve the Lord your God, that his burning

  125. anger may turn away from you. For if you return to the Lord,

  126. your brothers and your sons will find compassion before those who led them captive,

  127. and will return to this land. For the Lord your God is gracious and

  128. compassionate, and will not turn his face away from you if you return to

  129. him. So the couriers passed from city to city, through the country of

  130. Ephraim and Manassa, and as far as Zebulin. But they laughed them,

  131. to scorn and mock them. Nevertheless, some men of Ashure, Manassa,

  132. and Zebulin humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem. The hand of God was also

  133. on Judah to give them one heart to do with the King and the princes,

  134. commanded by the word of the Lord. And I'll stop there from right

  135. now, Matthew, That's that's a pretty good place to stop right there.

  136. It's very apropos So here we have a tale that's almost perfectly described as an

  137. exemption in Numbers chapter nine. And it's amazing when you think that from the

  138. very beginning something had happened with a group of people that could not celebrate the

  139. passover, and yet the most important it is the most important date. That's

  140. why Christ was crucified on the Passover. It's amazing that he made an exception

  141. beforehand concerning this. And it's amazing that there's never anything like this ever in

  142. the Bible before or after it. After the kingdom had been rendered asunder,

  143. this is the only instance where they all come back together. And it is

  144. absolutely amazing that this happened, and yet this has never talked about as far

  145. as Bible prophecy goes. When you should know, ladies and gentlemen, that

  146. he's supposed to return in the same way that he left. And if you

  147. didn't think that was in regards to time, wow, I don't know how

  148. I can respond to that, But probably nobody listening to my voice was expecting

  149. me to say that, because Jose you know what ascension tide is, right,

  150. Yes, Matthew, Okay, what is ascension tide. It's when when

  151. Jesus ascended into heaven after he had been visiting with his his disyebosm with the

  152. apostles. And how long is ascension tiede? Well, we know he has

  153. said it forty days after he was after he was resurrected, that's right.

  154. So how many days was that before Pentecost? That should put us about ten

  155. days before Pentecost. That's right, ten days. That's why it's called ascension

  156. tide, ladies and gentlemen, it's the ten days between ascension and Pentecost.

  157. However, Judaizers will not use the word Pentecost, that's Greek for fifty.

  158. They use Shavuot in relationship to the counting of the Omer. So you need

  159. to understand that, ladies and gentlemen, of that that ten days is absolutely

  160. important because it's that lonely ten days that we were all hanging out waiting to

  161. get our promise of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Amen Jose, Amen

  162. Matthew. So if you didn't realize this, ladies and gentlemen, this is

  163. absolutely important. This is your ten days of testing. So when you overlay

  164. the circumstances here, it's enough to boggle your mind. And what's really amazing

  165. is the simple fact that most of the people didn't return, did they,

  166. Jose, No, it said some men of Asher Manassa and Zebulin humbled themselves.

  167. Isn't that a strange way to put it? Jose what what? Why

  168. does it say humbled themselves? Right? And then you notice that Efraim isn't

  169. in that list, Matthew Fhraim is not in the list. Asher takes the

  170. place of Ephraim, right, And there's just no getting around that. And

  171. we know from the prophetic narrative, especially from Ezekiel chapter thirty seven, that

  172. the stick of Joseph is in Ephriam's hand. Correct. Amen, So if

  173. you're unfamiliar with that, ladies, gentlemen, take note that there are two

  174. sticks that will be joined together in the millennial Kingdom and Cose. It's amazing

  175. to me how many people don't know how many different types of Christians there are.

  176. We're not going to talk about it today, We're going to talk about

  177. that another day. But it is absolutely just blows my mind when I ask

  178. people, hey, how many how many different types of Christians are there?

  179. Or I'll say, what's the two different types of Christians? They have no

  180. idea that they literally have no idea and I don't know why when the New

  181. Testament is very clear about how many different types of Christians there are, there's

  182. no debating it. So this is extremely prophetic in of itself that here Asher

  183. takes Ephyreim's place. Now take note that the hand of God was also on

  184. Judah to give them one heart to do with the king and princes commanded by

  185. the word of the Lord. Why is it that Judah. Did you catch

  186. that? Jose? Yes? Okay, Take note, ladies and gentlemen,

  187. that asher Manassa and Zebulin they humbled themselves. However, the Lord there God

  188. had divorcibly. Now I'm gonna say it again. You need to believe,

  189. I said asher Manassa and Zebulin they voluntarily humbled themselves, but the Lord their

  190. God had to forcibly humbled Judah, Yes he did, Yes he did.

  191. I'll read it for you again. Nevertheless, some of the men of asher

  192. Manassa and Zebulin humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem. The hand of God was

  193. also on Judah to give them one heart to do with the King and the

  194. princes commanded by the word of the Lord. So take note, ladies and

  195. gentlemen, make no mistakes about it. The Jews had to be forced to

  196. do what Asher Manassa and Zebulin voluntarily did. Your thoughts, so was the

  197. well that that takes us right to verse six, Matthew, where God says,

  198. sons of Israel returned to the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel,

  199. that he may return to those of you who escaped and are left from

  200. the hand of the kings of Assyria. Again, this is straight out of

  201. Revelation chapter twelve, where the woman's taken to the place that's been prepared for

  202. her, and then it goes on to say, do not be like your

  203. fathers and your brothers, who are unfaithful to the Lord, God of their

  204. fathers, so that he made them a horror. As you see now,

  205. do not stiffen your neck like your father's, but yield to the Lord and

  206. enter his sanctuary, which he has consecrated forever, and serve the Lord,

  207. your God that is burning anger may turn away from you. That stiff neck

  208. people, Matthew, those are the ones that are going to have to lose

  209. their head when they dance with the beasts. And and he's making himself perfectly

  210. clear. Well, I guess that's not the case for people who don't have

  211. vice that can see what they're reading. Whose right? I mean? You

  212. realize I wonder how many people didn't see what God did in eleven and twelve,

  213. because I've done this in many classrooms before, and every single time people

  214. are like, what are you talking about? It's plain to the text Asherman

  215. assen Zebulin. They voluntarily did it, but God had to force you to

  216. do it, and it said the hand of God. Amen. Okay,

  217. So if you don't see that's prophetic and it's ramifications. Is this not what

  218. Romans nineteen eleven plainly states about the present day Jews? Yes, it is,

  219. Matthew. It plainly states that. So I did it amaze this to

  220. me that those texts plainly state that they're not cut off? Are they?

  221. No, even though everybody wants to put that for some reason, Jews everybody

  222. crossed this planet have one or two places for Jews. They're either eternally damned

  223. or they're eternally saved just by them being a Jew. I've never understood that,

  224. when the New Testament is perfectly clear, a Jew must be saved through

  225. the Lord Jesus Christ in order to ever be safe I don't understand where this

  226. narrative comes from that Jews get saved just because they're Jews. Do you know

  227. where it comes from? Where's that chapter and verse that? No, it's

  228. not, it's not in the Bible at all. Even even when he brought

  229. him out of Egypt, right and he had them before Mount Sinai, Mount

  230. Horeb, and he passed down his laws and his testimony and his statutes,

  231. it plainly says they're what they're supposed to do. And we all know pathetically

  232. that's pointing too to his son Jesus Christ. And so the gospels, I

  233. don't know how many times the Gospels set it over and over and then they

  234. reject their their Lord, they reject their Savior, and that's what opens it

  235. up for everyone else, Matthew. And that's a good thing, correct,

  236. And that is a good thing. But and the scripture plainly states that that

  237. we as gentile should be pretty careful because you know, if if if he

  238. cut off the natural branches and ingrafted this sin, you better be careful.

  239. Then he goes on to say, how much more so will the natural branches

  240. be ingrafted back into the tree? Correct? Amen, I don't understand why

  241. people don't accept that, but this narrative is a perfect example of it.

  242. In every way, shape and form, This is a perfect example of it.

  243. It's just absolutely amazing. I'm gonna take some time and I'm we're going

  244. to go to numbers, chapter nine, and I'm want to read the first

  245. fourteen verses because you all need to know. This comes from the beginning,

  246. why it happened, and how it happened, that this exception was already put

  247. it. Now, look, it's going to blow your mind. This exception

  248. was put in place for the emmanual child. Am I confusing you? Look,

  249. it was Isaiah that told the king, the bad King, the Lord

  250. says, you can ask any sign you want to and he'll perform it.

  251. And of course the bad king says, nah, no, I'm not going

  252. to do that. So Isaiah says, this is what the Lord says.

  253. Anyway, behold, there will be a child, and that child will be

  254. called Emmanuel. This is the emmanual prophecy you all know about. It goes

  255. on to say that Hezekiah, or the bad King, kept desperately sacrificing his

  256. children, and the reason why was because he had thrown aside Isaiah and his

  257. God and started following the God of Assyria. So he was trying to sacrifice

  258. that child that was going to be Immanuel. And did he know the child

  259. had already been born. It was his child has Akaya. All this was

  260. done way back in Numbers chapter nine, in preparation for what is to come

  261. Numbers chapter nine, verse one. Thus the Lord spoke to Moses in the

  262. wilderness of Sinai in the first month of the second year, after they came

  263. out of the land of Egypt, saying, now, let the sons of

  264. Israel observe the passover at its appointed time on the fourteenth day of this month,

  265. at twilight. You shall observe it at its appointed time. You shall

  266. observe it according to wallets, statutes, and according to all its ordinances.

  267. I'm going to break here. What month is he talking about? He is

  268. not talking about Tisserine or Rashashana or the feast of trumpets, because you're supposed

  269. to already know. The first of your months is now the seventh month.

  270. Kid is time this month his Nissan. I'll continue. So Moses told the

  271. sons of Israel to observe the passover. They observed them over in the first

  272. month, on fourteen they at the month at twilight in the wilderness of Sinai.

  273. According to all the Lord had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel

  274. did. But there were some men who were unclean because of the dead person,

  275. so that they could not observe passover on that day. So they came

  276. before Moses and Aaron on that day. Those men said to him, though

  277. we are unclean because of a dead person, why are we restrained from presenting

  278. the offering of the Lord at its appointed time among the sons of Israel.

  279. Moses therefore said of them, wait, I will listen to what the Lord

  280. will command concerning you. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, speak to

  281. the son of is Isul, saying, if any one of you of your

  282. generations becomes unclean because of a dead person or is on a distant journey,

  283. he may, however, observe the passover to the Lord. In the second

  284. month, on the fourteenth day, at twilight, they shall observe it.

  285. They shall eat it with unloving bread and bitter herbs. They shall leave none

  286. of it until morning, or break a bone of it. According to the

  287. Statue of the passover, they shall observe it. But the man who is

  288. clean and is not on a journey, and yet neglects to observe the passover,

  289. that person shall be cut off from his people, for he did not

  290. present the offering of the Lord at its a point in time. That man

  291. will bear his sin. If an alien sojourns among you and observes the passover

  292. the Lord according to the statue of the Passover and according to its ordinance,

  293. so he shall, I'll do. You shall have one statue both for the

  294. alien and for the native in your land. This perfectly covers the people from

  295. asher Manassa and Zebulin that came perfectly, perfectly fits it. Even the point

  296. journey. Their native land was not Judah. This literally fits the bill to

  297. at So this is just absolutely amazing that this was already put in place.

  298. This was done literally in preparation for Second Chronicles, Chapter thirty. Ose.

  299. Amen. But it amazes me how Christians don't know what their first month is.

  300. It's the seventh month. Everything's tope turvy for you. We are not

  301. Judaizers. We don't care when the new moon is. Outside of the simple

  302. fact, once you see the sliver of the new moon. You count fourteen

  303. days to the full moon, and that's when you get this shin did started.

  304. And that just that just infuriates the juda Isers. It infuriates them.

  305. They hate that. I hope everybody caught that, because that's what's going on

  306. here. God is by every stretch he's trying to forcibly get you to reject

  307. the God haters timeline. He's trying to get you to reject their chronology.

  308. Just reject it. We're not like them, we don't keep time like them.

  309. They all celebrate the harvest, right Jose, Yes, ah, yes,

  310. that's when we are our big celebration, like the one we just had

  311. this very day, right Halloween. Right, Okay, don't let's not mince

  312. words, Jose. They're celebrating the bringing in of the crops, right,

  313. yes they are. No, no, no, no, no, we're

  314. Christians, Jose. We celebrate the bringing in of the classover on a full

  315. move. That's what we do. So we're literally being forced to be thankful

  316. before we have anything in our hands, right right? Can I ask you

  317. stupid question, Jose? Sure? So the Lord taught us how to pray,

  318. right, yes he did, Matthew, Why why Oh, why did

  319. the Son of the Living God, Why did he command us to pray in

  320. thus fashion give us this day our daily bread? Doesn't that just destroy the

  321. entire your humanistic worldview? Yes? No, no, no, we're supposed

  322. to work for and reap great, big harvest because now we have combines,

  323. right, and we're supposed to build our barns Matthew, to store all that.

  324. Amen, ladies and gentlemen, you need to reject this generation's chronologies.

  325. And if you don't understand what I'm saying, you need to go read Exodus

  326. chapter twelve, because your beginning of days was on the passover, when the

  327. Lord your God passed over you and gave you a free ride. All right,

  328. Jose you ready to get back to the text or you want to bring

  329. out some more about this. Yeah, let me just add one more thing,

  330. Matthew, as you were reading through numbers nine, that this came into

  331. my head that if that great and terrible day of the Lord, that sixth

  332. seal is on passover, Matthew, this is the one festival of the Lord,

  333. the one feast of the Lord, that we can actually do once we

  334. are in that place prepared. Because he's added this revision. Well that well,

  335. I mean that would mean I mean, why did you say that?

  336. Because it's kind of irritated me. Why did you decide to bring that up?

  337. Because in saying so, and now I understand why brother Johnson was so

  338. infuriated with me when I did it, Because that would mean what you're saying

  339. is that we get to that place within thirty days. That's what you're really

  340. saying, right, You're really saying that the great Day of the Lord happens.

  341. And because we're scattered everywhere, we know that ten days after that we're

  342. going to be taken on Operation Eagles Wings, right Amen. That means we're

  343. traveling, don't it. Yes, so that means we will not be able

  344. to celebrate the passover with supposed people will have to force ablics. We can't

  345. do it in three months, right right, You can't do it in two

  346. months. In one day. You have to do it exactly the next month.

  347. So that should tell you that you should be in the sweet spot within

  348. thirty days. Amen. Amen. I bet people's just stunned at what I

  349. just said. And they're stunned that, well, how did jose even see

  350. that? Tell me? Jose by all means, how did you see that?

  351. Well, I saw that because of what I'm what I'm reading in Second

  352. Chronicles, chapter thirty. As we continue the timing of this event and the

  353. fact that it points us towards ascension tide, well that means then by all

  354. means reading all right. So picking back up on verse thirteen. Now,

  355. many people were gathered at Jerusalem to celebrate the feast of unloved Bread in the

  356. second month. A very large assembly. They arose and removed the altars which

  357. were in Jerusalem. They also removed all the incense altars and cast them into

  358. the book Kidron. Then they slaughtered the Passover lambs on the fourteenth of the

  359. second month, and the priests and levites were ashamed of themselves and consecrated themselves

  360. and brought burns offerings to the house of the Lord. They stood at their

  361. stations after their custom, according to the law of Moses, the man of

  362. God. The priests sprinkled the blood which they received from the hand of the

  363. levites, for there were many in the assembly who had not conscated themselves.

  364. Therefore, the Levites were over the slaughter of the Passover lambs, for everyone

  365. who was unclean in order to consicate them to the Lord. For a multitude

  366. of the people, even many from Ephraim and Manassa, and Isakar and Zebulen

  367. had not purified themselves yet they ate the passover otherwise than prescribed for. Hezekiah

  368. prayed for them, saying, made the Good Lord pardon everyone who prepares his

  369. heart to seek God, the Lord, God of his fathers, though not

  370. according to the purification rules of the sanctuary. So the Lord heard Hezekiah and

  371. healed the people. The sons of Israel present in Jerusalem celebrated the feast of

  372. unloved Bread for seven days with great joy, and the Levites and the priests

  373. praised the Lord day after day with loud instruments to the Lord. Then Hezekiah

  374. spoke encouraging to all the Levites who showed good insight in the things of the

  375. Lord. And they ate for the appointed seven days, sacrificing peace our reigns

  376. and giving thanks to the Lord, God of their fathers. Wow. So

  377. why don't you read verse eighteen again? Or a multitude of the people,

  378. even many from Ephraim and Manassa, Issachar, and Zebulen, had not purified

  379. themselves yet they ate the passover otherwise, and then prescribed for Hezekiah prayed for

  380. them, saying, made the Good Lord pardon everyone who prepares his heart to

  381. seek God, the Lord, God of his fathers, though not according to

  382. the purification rules of the sanctuary. Have you ever heard anything like that before?

  383. No? I haven't, Matthew. Okay, So now we go even

  384. one step further, because well, now not only Efriam is in the mix,

  385. but now it's car is as well, right right, because at the

  386. last minute they hadn't purified themselves, right right? Well, I just read

  387. numbers chapter nine. They're supposed to be cut off, right, correct.

  388. Who is this has Akayah? I'm going to tell you who he is.

  389. He's a manual. Now, am I saying that Jesus is not a manual?

  390. That's not what I meant. It's a nico chronal event, and you're

  391. supposed to see it. I mean, since when, I don't care if

  392. it's the King or anybody else. Since when, and somebody pray for you

  393. and not just your sins be forgiven you're a li out to observe the passover

  394. since win. So this is just this breaks all the rules, doesn't it,

  395. Hosea, Yes it does, Matthew. You're literally breaking every single rule

  396. there is to break. And well, that's why the crescendo of this chapter

  397. is the last verse. It is. Yes, it is, so you

  398. know, maybe I should, maybe I should live up my words. Jose

  399. What say you? No, Matthew, I think that's that's the key part

  400. of that stanza, the fact that those that just by Hezekiah's prayer, the

  401. Lord made these people clean. That, like you said, that's uh,

  402. that's not supposed to happen. That's that's like where God himself intervenes in our

  403. timeline, right. That's that those are these are these are the parts of

  404. the Bible that have the lawyers and the scribes scratching their heads and flipping through

  405. pages trying to see what God is doing here, because that this should not

  406. be possible. But again, if we understand the immanual prophecy, we understand

  407. what that means prophetically, then we can see exactly what God's doing here.

  408. Matthew, I'm sorry, I'm gonna read nineteen and twenty. I've already read

  409. eighteen to Let's try to look everyone who prepares his heart to seek God,

  410. the Lord of his fathers, So not according to the purification rules the sanctu

  411. work. So the Lord Hurd has a kayah and he healed. What does

  412. that mean? I understand forgive right hose right, Yes, I understand,

  413. make clean right right? What does that mean that the Lord heard has a

  414. k and he healed the hoose? What could that possibly mean? What could

  415. that possibly be talking about? I mean, your honest thoughts. What's your

  416. honest thoughts, boy, Matthew, I mean I I don't I'm on the

  417. lost right now on what he's healing here. Fact, you're right, It

  418. doesn't say that that that he's you know, that he's forgiving their sins.

  419. It doesn't say that this is something physical, which we understand that the wages

  420. of sin is death. That is true, no doubt about it. And

  421. one thing's for sure if anybody's wondering, this is the Hebrew word rafa what

  422. you call h seventy four ninety five. It means to heal. No,

  423. we're not. God's not being tricksy here. Yeah, that's the word raffa.

  424. It means to heal. The other thing, Matthew, that I'm considering

  425. is the fact that those that escape from the kings of Assyria. We know

  426. that they were intermingled with the Assyrians. That's their bread and butter. Yep,

  427. that's right. That's why the nation individual and that was never able to

  428. re establish itself because they they were no longer just just Israelites anymore. Yeah,

  429. they were Samaritans, right, yes, kay Assyria. So that's a

  430. good point, is that what he's saying here? Because oh my goodness,

  431. ladies and gentlemen, you can't fight it, can you? You cannot fight

  432. verse twenty because this chapter came right out and told you the very reason why,

  433. and it made itself perfectly clear. Jose already read it. There is

  434. no running from it. This chapter ilicitly states in verse six that he may

  435. return to those of you who escaped and are left from the hand of the

  436. kings of Assyria. There's no way around it. So you should know I

  437. already brought it out to you. You should know that these special people was

  438. only Efraim and Nassin Zebulin. So, whether you like it or not,

  439. I already pointed this out to you that well, now all of a sudden,

  440. efeminissit car is involved. Now you can be well rest assured that what

  441. is unspoken. Here is this. They showed up in faith even though they

  442. were tainted, and I Manu Will prayed for them. And whether you like

  443. it or not, they were healed. God was gracious, God was compassionate

  444. and did not turn his face away from them. May I know what verse

  445. nine says. So this is just, but this chapter says some of the

  446. most difficult things there is to hear it in the Bible. Jose. Yeah,

  447. like I said, Matthew, I'm struggling to keep the top top of

  448. my head on right now. Well, I guess we should put the cherry

  449. on top because he's not done. Because once again, you can't do this.

  450. You can't do it, So go ahead, start reading in verse twenty

  451. three and finish it out, all right. Then the whole assembly decided to

  452. celebrate the feast another seven days, So they celebrated the seven days with joy,

  453. for Hezekiah, King of Judah, had contributed to the assembly a thousand

  454. bulls and seven thousand sheep, and the princess had contributed to the assembly a

  455. thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep, and a large number of priests consecrated themselves

  456. all the Assembly of Judah rejoiced with the priests and the Levites and all the

  457. assembly that came from Israel, both the sojourners who came from the land of

  458. Israel and those living in Judah. That was great joy in Jerusalem, because

  459. there was nothing like this in Jerusalem since the days of Solomon, the son

  460. of David, King of Israel. Then the levitical priest arose and blessed the

  461. people, and their voice was heard, and their prayer came to his holy

  462. dwelling place to Heaven. Okay, stop the bus, since when are you

  463. ever allowed? We'll just celebrate it another seven days. Have you ever heard

  464. such a thing? No? Okay? So you learned about this in youth

  465. group? Right? No, Matthew, okay, So you learned this in

  466. a Sunday sermon? Right? Nope, I haven't heard it. Surely you

  467. heard of this in Sunday school somewhere. How about vacation, Bible school,

  468. nothing or either, Matthew, Okay, ladies and gentlemen, if you never

  469. heard this, Ladies and gentlemen, this is the most prophetic chapter in the

  470. Bible outside of well outright, how do I put that? This is the

  471. most prophetic historical incident in the Bible, and now that you've been brought up

  472. to speed, the simple fact that, by the way, Hezekiah was the

  473. immanual child and his dad tried to sacrifice him to Kelly and did so.

  474. You see, but his dad thought that it was the new babies being born.

  475. One of them was going to be a manual. That's why he was

  476. sacrificing them. I mean, once I've shared that in the classroom, I've

  477. had people just literally dumbfounded. They were just dumbfounded when they realize ku Isaah

  478. I was talking to he was talking to Hesekiah's dad, Yes, he was.

  479. And when you realize, well, that's why this chapter's no wonder this

  480. was allowed to happen because you know what this is going to happen again in

  481. the place prepared, isn't it, jose Amen Matthew. Matter of fact,

  482. it wouldn't surprise me if we just keep right on celebrating it, right,

  483. I mean, it wouldn't surprise me at all if this last for if possible,

  484. if it weren't for Kara's rebellion, It wouldn't surprise me if this last

  485. for the entire one and sixty days, And obviously Kara's rebellion breaks it right.

  486. Well, that's what numbers nine says, right, Matthew. If this

  487. person neglects to deserve the passover, that person shall be cut off from his

  488. people. I am absolutely dumbfounded because you actually saw it. I didn't have

  489. to say it. Say that one more time, because that's why I read

  490. it. So numbers nine thirteen. But the man who is clean and is

  491. not on a journey, and yet neglects to observe the passover, that person

  492. shall then be cut off from his people, for he did not present the

  493. offering of the Lord at its appointed time. That man will bear his sin.

  494. If you need a hint, ladies and gentlemen, you ain't got a

  495. clue. And it's too bad that you spent all these years studying Bible prophecy

  496. and never knew these things, because nobody was ever going to tell you if

  497. they did not love the Lord their God with all their heart, soul,

  498. minded strength, if they had not rejected man and just taken the Bible and

  499. absorbed it. Because that's what it takes. It doesn't take sermons, it

  500. doesn't take Sunday school lessons. You can go to vacation Bible school at a

  501. different church every week for all summer long, and you'll never know these things.

  502. You have to literally take God's word, make it a lightened to your

  503. feet and a lamp and to your path. That's what you got to do.

  504. But it amazes me that it hit Jose like a ton of bricks.

  505. That's Koro's rebellion. Because, ladies and gentlemen, once you've been taken to

  506. a place that's prepared for you by the angels, you're going to rejoice.

  507. You don't have to. You don't have to punch into a time clock anymore.

  508. No one can tell you what time to get up. Ladies and gentlemen,

  509. you don't even know what freedom is. You don't even know, do

  510. you, because all of you literally have clocks everywhere, don't we, Jose,

  511. Yes we do. Matthew. Well, I'm here to tell you,

  512. when you get escorted to a place prepared for you by God, by the

  513. angels, you don't have to do anything anymore. You don't have to punch

  514. the time clock, you don't have to beat all these appointments on time.

  515. You don't have clocks anymore. And secondly, you don't have currency, you

  516. don't you don't have currency anymore. You don't have to worry about buying a

  517. cup of coffee doesn't exist. So it is amazing to me that when you

  518. put these things together, especially these two chapters together, it all makes sense.

  519. God has literally been preparing you for this time since the very beginning,

  520. since the very beginning. And it amazes me how often Jose says this.

  521. I don't say it very often, but Jose says it all the time.

  522. He says, God repeats himself all the time, because no matter where I

  523. take Jose, we went through Micah, we went through two Timothy. What

  524. did God say? Jose says the same thing over and over. Matthew,

  525. he says the same exact thing over and over. It never changes, He

  526. just changing the way he says it right, And that is paramount to the

  527. situation, isn't it. Yes, Ladies and gentlemen, if you don't know

  528. this, I'm gonna share something with you. The totality of the end times

  529. is thirty five sixty days. Let me say that again, three thousand,

  530. five hundred and sixty days, because there's two thousand, three hundred days of

  531. birth pains, and the tribulation itself is forty two months, it's and sixty

  532. days. It's three and a half years comprised of forty two months of exactly

  533. thirty days. Because that time is not like this time, ladies and gentlemen,

  534. God changing time. So you put those two integers together and it's three

  535. thousand, five hundred and sixty and you need to know that right now,

  536. and you need to know that what begins. The whole sequence is loudly described

  537. multiple times in the Bible as being the four spirits of Heaven stirring things up.

  538. Is that not the case? Jose, Yes, it is, Matthew.

  539. That's where it starts, and it's the only thing that's going to get

  540. you today two thousand and three hundred. That's the only way you're going to

  541. get there. And something's going to happen forty five days before that last day.

  542. You need to know about it because of Lord Jesus Christ illicitly warns you

  543. of that. Is that not what he did in Matthew Chapter twenty four,

  544. Jose, Yes, that's exactly what he does. Matthew. He comes right

  545. out and tells you, He tells you him last forty five days are gonna

  546. be hell on earth. But it's not the tribulation. The tribulation is not

  547. survivable, Ladies and gentlemen, it's not survivable. It's a terminal event for

  548. everyone thought in the outer darkness. Jose, you're closing comments. Well,

  549. Matthew, we started off this program talking about Ascension title and second Chronicles.

  550. Thirty points us there exactly when you look at this time frame, the second

  551. month, thirty days after passover is supposed to be is the appointed time of

  552. passover. Then you add in the feast of unleavened bread, which was seven

  553. days, and there's additional seven days that they celebrated the feast, Matthew.

  554. That puts you right in that timeframe of ascension tide. And it makes me

  555. wonder if the reason why our Lord was here an additional forty days was to

  556. allow for that second passover, Matthew, that second month allow for those sojourners

  557. to come in and be a part of his passover. But like I said,

  558. Matthew, this chapter is just blowing my mind right now. I'm gonna

  559. have to go over it and over it and over it because there's just so

  560. much here. It's almost it's almost unbelievable how much information is jam packed in

  561. here and where it takes us, and how many dots it connects and how

  562. much it seements everything else that God has said. Yeah, I just don't

  563. have the words. Matthew. Well, that's a little frustrating to me.

  564. Kase. I thought you were already supposed to have studied this, which you

  565. did. Correct. It's amazing how the how when two or three are gathered

  566. together, It's just amazing how the Lord will Just you thought you studied,

  567. didn't you. Yeah, I mean you thought you were coming, and you

  568. thought you were going to come into this program. You just knew at all,

  569. didn't you. I know better than that, Matthew. But you know,

  570. but ladies and gentlemen, I've got to push you. The Lord God

  571. does not lie. And if you just get up off your chair, grab

  572. at least one sibling, find one. There's got to be one Christian around

  573. you somewhere. Get them and get it at table and start studying the Bible.

  574. I mean, where two or three are gathered, where is he at,

  575. Jose? He is there, Matthew in the midst Jose, take us

  576. out of here in prayer, Please, Der, Heavenly Father, whom we

  577. love and serve once again and continually. I give you thanks and praise for

  578. allowing me and my brother Matthew to gather together. I give you thanks and

  579. praise for allowing us to share your word with the ecclesia. And Lord,

  580. I pray that these words have edified the ecclesia, that it has strengthened them

  581. and they will enable them to endure what is to come. Father, Lord,

  582. I ask for your Holy Spirit to come to these listeners, to understand

  583. your word, to help spread your word so that we may find those lost

  584. sheep. Lord, you have told us that that one lost sheep is more

  585. important than the ninety nine that have been found. And I just asked that

  586. you help us, Lord, to gather your people together so that they may

  587. be prepared for when you return and when your son returns. And God,

  588. I ask all this in the name of your son, our Lord and Savior,

  589. Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen and Amen. Until next time, ladies

  590. and gentlemen, God bless, God speed. Thank you for listening to Marinath
