  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 host Jose and Matthew. Tonight we are getting back to this study on

  6. this very peculiar phrase, very prophetic phrase, Abraham, Isaac and Israel,

  7. and where that is in the scripture is important. You need to know it,

  8. and it's very important, very prophetic events. And tonight we're going to

  9. be looking at its next instance in the scripture, which is spoken of by

  10. David, and he proclaims to the world, he proclaims to the whole assembly

  11. of Israel that it's Abraham, Isaac and Israel. Jacob never comes out of

  12. his mouth, he says, Israel. So ose, what's your take on

  13. this chapter? Now that you've looked it over and pondered these things? What

  14. say you? Well, Matthew, even if we don't look as these events

  15. as prophetic, which we know all of God's word is, but just the

  16. stories themselves, these are like amazing I mean to say that their significant stories

  17. in the Bible is an understatement. First, we were discussing the Golden Calf,

  18. right, what that means to have the people in the assembly at the

  19. Mount of God, the Mount Horror, and God's up there talking to Moses,

  20. and then they still do what they did with the Golden Calf. And

  21. then you have the story of Elijah with the prophets of ball right, and

  22. and the power that's demonstrated there. And now we get to where David is

  23. discussing the building of the Temple and everything that's involved in that, Matthew,

  24. and these these stories are just these are not insignificant events. These are milestone

  25. events in the Bible that we know they're prophetic. We know that God's telling

  26. us what is to come in these chapters. But just the fact that God

  27. selected, you know, these these chapters to to use that phrase Abraham,

  28. Isaac and Israel, we really should be paying attention anyways, Matthew. I

  29. mean, when you hear when you hear that phrase uttered in these chapters,

  30. you really need to, you know, slow down, reread the chapter and

  31. really start looking into it and see what God's trying to tell us, because

  32. these are these are pretty amazing chapters that he brings up with us. Absolutely,

  33. they are amazing chapters. And this is not just any time that David

  34. says this. This is in David's prayer and it triggers an event and and

  35. once again you get things that David says here after he mentions that that's just

  36. really off the hook. What David does. Nobody's like David. You know

  37. that this this this goes along with with a saff because you have to remember,

  38. ladies and gentlemen, that that that David appointed asaf and then he ordered

  39. him to prophesy. So that's enough to rather your cage right there. But

  40. here he he he doesn't target an individual person. What he does here is

  41. just just absolutely off the hook. So this this little patch of scripture here

  42. and I don't know what you want to call these eleven verses, but you

  43. know in through twenty is just this is the most well one of the most

  44. prophetic events ever in history. Because David doesn't get to build a temple.

  45. This is not the dedication of the temple, ladies and gentlemen, but David's

  46. the one that got everything together for the temple. So just so you know,

  47. and understand, this is the temple that's not built. Okay, that's

  48. not what's going on here. He's he's put together everything that's going to be

  49. used to build the temple. That's all. This is. Solomon's the one

  50. that builds the temple. So you know, pick up here in verse three.

  51. Moreover, in my delight in the House of my God, the treasure

  52. I have of gold and silver I gave to the House of my God,

  53. over and above all that I have already provided for the Holy Temple, namely

  54. three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of a fear, and seven

  55. thousand talents of predine silver to overlay the walls and the buildings of gold and

  56. the things. And just YadA, YadA, YadA, YadA, YadA.

  57. It's not built, ladies, gentlemen. This is just David's prayer that he's

  58. gotten everything together to build it. But he knows that he's a man of

  59. blood, so he's not not able to build a temple. Once you put

  60. all these strings together, you begin to realize why David said this, why

  61. this prayer went down the way it went down, And you realize from this

  62. prayer alone, in this in this this situation, you can come to the

  63. conclusion this is why the Messiah was going to come from David. I mean,

  64. I would argue in a court of law it's because these eleven verses.

  65. Now that's of course debatable, but boy, hindsight's twenty twenty. So hose

  66. we got to read this text or you want to talk more about it before

  67. we dive into it. What's your thoughts on what I just said? Well,

  68. Matthew, and we'll we'll see this as we read through it. But

  69. I just so happened to be reading John seventeen this week, and Jesus repeatedly

  70. says in John seventeen that all he's doing is just working with what God has

  71. given him. Right, He's not saying that it's any it's any of his

  72. doing that that these people are following him. Who God has given Jesus is

  73. who he's taken, and who he's using to build his temple. So I

  74. see, and we can cover some of those verses as we move along.

  75. But I was just seeing a direct correlation with First Chronicles twenty nine. Matthew.

  76. It's David who provided everything to Solomon so that Solomon could build a temple.

  77. And we're and Jesus told himself, told us that his Holy Temple is

  78. his body, and that's what that's what was his purpose on earth was to

  79. build that that temple, that is his body, and we are a part

  80. of a part of his body and a part of that temple. Matthew.

  81. So, as I was reading through John seventeen, boy, it just it

  82. just directly reflected First chronic twenty nine. It was I'd say, you get

  83. more detailed in First Chronicles twenty nine with all the items that Davids provided,

  84. the father provided for his son, but you see the end result here and

  85. in John chapter seventeen. Matthew, Well, you know I couldn't put that

  86. any better. And you know that is appro pole how the Lord will do

  87. that with you. And I don't mean you as in you personally, Jose,

  88. I mean you the Christian that if you pick up God's word and you

  89. start reading it, you think in your mind you just randomly did that,

  90. and then lo and behold, within ten days you see yourself standing in real

  91. time having application for the very thing that you read. And that's exactly what

  92. happens. Well, what I was just saying with Solomon, he walked in

  93. and everything at our being already been prepared. And the Lord Jesus Christ,

  94. well, he was doing the same exact thing. He was just he was

  95. just fulfilling the will of his father. And he said that repeatedly. Amen.

  96. And you're absolutely right about that, but you didn't. You wasn't reading

  97. in John this week randomly. So the Lord is a whole lot bigger than

  98. circumstance. So all right, let's let's take a read of this. I

  99. really don't care how much of this you you read. It's it's thirty verses

  100. long, but h read whatever you see fit to read. I guess all

  101. right, I'll focus on those eleven verses for now, Matthew. If we

  102. if we need to expand we can. So the other verses just give like

  103. we're saying, detail, detail, detailed information about what it takes to build

  104. this temple for the Lord. So I will start on verse ten, and

  105. I'm reading from the NASB nineteen ninety five, and again we're on First Chronicles,

  106. chapter twenty nine. So David bless the Lord in the sight of all

  107. the assembly. And David said, blessed are you, oh Lord God of

  108. Israel, our father forever and ever yours, Oh Lord is the greatness and

  109. the power, and the glory, and the victory and the majesty. Indeed,

  110. everything that is in the heavens and the earth, yours is the dominion,

  111. O Lord, And you exalt yourself as head overall. Both riches and

  112. honor come from you, and you rule overall. And in your hand is

  113. power and might. And it lies in your hand to make great and to

  114. strengthen everyone. Now, therefore, our God, we thank you and praise

  115. your glorious name. But who am I and who are my people that we

  116. should be able to offer as generously as this? For all things come from

  117. you, and from your hand we have given you. For we are so

  118. journals before you, and tenants as all our fathers were. Our days on

  119. the earth are like a shadow, and there is no hope, O Lord,

  120. our God. All this abundance that we have provided to build you a

  121. house for your holy name, it is from your hand, and all is

  122. yours. Since I know, oh, my God, that you try the

  123. heart and delight it uprightness, I, in the integrity of my heart,

  124. have willingly offered all these things. So now with joy, I have seen

  125. your people who are present here, make their offerings willingly to you, oh

  126. Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, our fathers. Preserve

  127. this forever and the intentions of the heart of your people, and direct their

  128. heart to you, and give to my son Solomon a perfect heart to keep

  129. your commandments, your testimonies, and your statutes, and to do them all,

  130. and to build the temple for which I have made provision. Then David

  131. said to all the assembly, now bless the Lord, your God, and

  132. all the assembly blessed the Lord, the God of their fathers, and bowdlow,

  133. and then homage to the Lord and to the king. Wow. Who

  134. else has made statements like this in all the other statements you're going to get

  135. in the culmination of first and Saga Samuel, first and second Kings, first

  136. and second Chronicles, is this Yeah, people like aay has amen. Amen,

  137. you have people like a half. But here something completely different happens.

  138. David says, Look, I'm giving you this offering, Lord, but really

  139. is from your hands, because everything we have came from you. So this

  140. phraseology, this setup truly magnifies what David said. Here he said, I

  141. in the integrity of my heart, and he asked the Lord with this type

  142. of thing. Let this preserve forever the intentions of the heart of your people

  143. and to direct their heart to you. And it is by this mechanation we

  144. are the children of the Promise. Amen. Amen, you better take this

  145. to the bank. Ladies and gentlemen. It is God and God a love

  146. that directs the heart, that convicts you when you're wrong, that forever directs

  147. your hands not to steal, forever directs your lips not to lie. And

  148. if you should ever do those things, it is the Holy Spirit that pricks

  149. your soul so you might be convicted to go make restitution of those wrongs.

  150. And the instigation of that was done right here. And by not saying,

  151. Jacob, what David was proclaiming here was Lord, i am not speaking of

  152. my prosperity. I'm speaking prophetically, because there have been many many a clergy

  153. that did not fit this bill. There were many many a doctorate of theology

  154. that did not does not meet this bill. For it is the child of

  155. God and the child of God or Yellen, whose heart is directed to the

  156. Lord and not to their own pleasures, not their own wealth, not their

  157. own majesty. It is the children of the Promise alone whose heart is directed

  158. to the Lord. Amen. Amen, Matthew. And there is just no

  159. other way to put that. And when you realize, oh my goodness,

  160. was this the event horizon? Is it this prayer right here that the Lord

  161. started kicking into year this way for the Messiah to even come. Let that

  162. sink in for a minute, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, this is before

  163. Isaiah. Amen, this is the poor Jeremiah. Now, do not think

  164. you can get past me one single verse that prophesied the Messiah, because I

  165. know them all. I have written them all. I mean in the church

  166. I grew up in. This was one of our assignments for youth group when

  167. I was in high school. I assure you I am well familiar with every

  168. single verse that prophesies the Lord Jesus Christ, ladies and gentlemen, before all

  169. the prophets. And maybe all of you are not familiar with that. Let's

  170. ask cose, So where's Isaiah on the timeline? Is he like a thousand

  171. years before David? Is he a couple of hundred years after? Where's isaiah

  172. relationship to David? I'd sell you at least a couple hundred years after.

  173. Isn't he Matthew. Okay, how about Jeremiah. Yeah, the same,

  174. well even after he's after Isaiah. Now, ladies and gentlemen, you need

  175. to understand something, Okay, most of the prophets, what they were there

  176. for and why they prophesied was the two destructions, right, correct. Isaiah

  177. prophesied the mighty Assyrians coming in at Israel's white from existence the Jews. They

  178. didn't take any lessons from this at all. So the other prophets are prophesying

  179. the mighty Babylonian, which, of course you need to know this up front.

  180. They're both Acadian. Yes, yes, I'm sorry to be the one

  181. to break this to you if you don't know your archaeology. Yes, the

  182. Assyrians and the Babylonians wrote in the same script. They were all Akkadians.

  183. Hose is this not the truth? That's correct, Matthew. Yes, So

  184. you need to understand why the Assyrians were huge, because the Assyrians were the

  185. northern tribes. So in Hybraical terms, we all know that Israel was divided

  186. by the Lord our God, and the north was Israel, right, and

  187. then the south was Judah correct. Correct. The same thing happens with the

  188. Acadians. Ladies, gentleman, the Assyrians were just the northern Acadians and the

  189. Babylonians was the southern Akkadian. Yes, go to a museum and look it

  190. up and don't listen to your professors. Go to a museum and say,

  191. I want to see something that the Assyrians wrote, and did say I want

  192. to see something that the Babylonians wrote, And you're going to come to the

  193. dead Pan idea. This is why they call it the neo Assyrian and the

  194. neo Babylonian because it's the same thing. The capital just moved. So,

  195. ladies and gentlemen, all those prophets are way after David, way after David.

  196. So think about this for a minute. Everybody knows what the pinitude is,

  197. right ose, Yes, that was not written by a prophet. Okay,

  198. you have you have ruth, you have judges, you have all that.

  199. All these things go by, Solomon goes by, all those people go

  200. by, and then you get the prophets at the end. So when you

  201. realize that, when you familiar right yourself with the Bible, God's holy words,

  202. you realize, oh my goodness, God heard David's prayer. So that's

  203. my opening comments about this Jose. How about you. Well, Matthew,

  204. it's interesting you say event horizon, because when I look here at verse seventeen,

  205. there's a word here for uprightness, and then the Hebrew that is H

  206. thirty four seventy six. Yah. Sure. And when you jump to the

  207. very next verse where we're our prayer that we've been saying right the God of

  208. Abraham, Isaac and Israel, you see that same word embedded here in the

  209. Hebrew word for Israel. So you've repeated yourself over and over, Matthew,

  210. what that word Israel means. Those whom God has straightened, are those straightened

  211. by God, those made upright by God. And so God's God show up

  212. us right here in this very set of verses who Israel is and who they

  213. are and what they're supposed to be by showing us those two Hebrew words right

  214. right next to each other, Matthew. And then it takes us right to

  215. verse nineteen, where David praise that his son be given a perfect heart to

  216. keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your statutes, and to do them

  217. all, and to build the temple. And that is fulfilled in our Lord

  218. Jesus Christ. So so boy Matthew's I can't argue with what you said there

  219. that this is the event horizon because the fact that these three verses here are

  220. stacked on top of each other, I just can't see it any other way,

  221. because it is no other way. Ladies and gentlemen, what did the

  222. children even cry out to Jesus, Ladies and gentlemen, just that phraseology being

  223. a son of David? I mean, don't you all realize how important that

  224. that phrase is son of David? Because what happened this day really happened.

  225. I mean, David really didn't say this, and he really was speaking the

  226. truth. I, in the integrity of my heart, I have willingly offered

  227. all these things, so that now with joy, I have seen your people

  228. who are present here make their offerings willingly to you. And if you don't

  229. understand, if you don't understand that, oh my goodness, I would I

  230. think that it would be just to say that whatever you do know is very

  231. little about the Bible, God's holding worship and about the promises, because at

  232. this point there was no machination for the children of the Promise. I mean,

  233. yes, you could definitely say that David was a child of Abraham,

  234. no doubt about that. But like I said, David spoke here prophetically.

  235. He was not speaking of his posterity, and he was saying this in such

  236. a way that the Lord knew that the people who are the lords are the

  237. people who direct their hearts to him, and they do so willingly. That's

  238. whose God's people are. That's whose God's people are. And you know,

  239. me and Joseah have talked about this many times, that the children of God

  240. and the children are devil are obvious. And there's a singular verse in the

  241. New Testament that tells you that, I mean, it doesn't matter if a

  242. person has a doctorate in theology, because most people who have doctorates in theology

  243. do so for ulterior motives. And I should know I've talked with more than

  244. a few of them that will not even remotely Christians. So you know,

  245. let's do this. Let's take a look at something else that was said here

  246. that's just gonna well, when David's done praying, he commanded the entire country.

  247. Do you understand it that way? He commanded the entire country blessed the

  248. Lord. Let me read it for you. Then David said to all the

  249. assembly, now bless the Lord, your God, and all the assembly blessed

  250. the Lord, the God of their fathers, and they bowed low and did

  251. homage to the Lord and to him. Now, this is prophetically only happened

  252. one other time, and it was at the altar of offense. Now when

  253. I say that, I immediately know what the Bible teacher or the preachers talking

  254. about. I know what the alternative offense is, because it was the very

  255. first thing the no most rendered the twelve tribes asunder. Oh yeah, it

  256. did, yes, it did. I know the intimacy the events that happened

  257. in Joshua chapter twenty two. Now I'll read to you the verse in question,

  258. and you need to write these things down. Twenty two thirty three.

  259. It's pretty easy to remember because it's it reciprocates twenty two, chapter twenty two

  260. josh or twenty two, okay, thirty three. Then the word please.

  261. The sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel blessed God, and they

  262. did not speak of going up against them in war to destroy the land in

  263. which the sons of Rum and the sons of God were living. The sons

  264. of Reuben and the sons of God called that altar witness, for they said,

  265. it is a witness between us that the Lord is not So I beout

  266. everybody's wondering what this altar of offense is. Jose, you and I've talked

  267. about it before. But ladies, John, you need to realize that from

  268. the very beginning, the twelve tribes were just a little bit too big for

  269. their breeches, so they done that. It's spilled over to the other side

  270. of the Jordan. Like what no Isra across the Jordan and the Promised Land

  271. is across the Jordan. Really, then you don't know this tale of the

  272. Altar of offense. I think I am going to read some here. Let's

  273. see here, boy, this would be a lot to read if I read

  274. this. I'm gonna start reading here. In verse ten, when they came

  275. to the region of the Jordan, which is in the land of Canaan,

  276. the sons of Ruben and the Sons of God and the half tribe of Manasa

  277. built an altar there by the Jordan, a large altar in appearance. And

  278. the sons of Israel heard it and said, behold, the sons of Reuben

  279. and the sons of God and the half tribe of Vanasa have built an altar

  280. at the front tier of the land of Canaan in the region of the Jordan,

  281. on the side belonging to the Sons of Israel. When the Sons of

  282. Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the Sons of Israel gathered at

  283. Shiloh to go up against them in war. I wonder how many people even

  284. know about this story, Jose, Yeah, not very many. Matthew,

  285. this is that I haven't heard this met up too often. As a minor

  286. of fact. This might be the only eschatology based ministry that it's ever been

  287. talked about. But this is the first time this ministry talked about this altar

  288. of offense. But anyway, so let's continue on here verse thirteen. Then

  289. the Sons of Israel is sent to the sons of Reuben and the sons of

  290. Gada, to the half tribe of Banasa into the land of Gilead Phineas the

  291. son of Elisia the priest, and with him ten chiefs, one chief for

  292. each father's household from each of the tribes of Israel. Each one of them

  293. was the head of his father household. Among the thousands of Israel. Now

  294. you'll take note, ladies and gentlemen, what was just saying. If you

  295. are prophetically wondering why ten of the tribes were ripped out from the house of

  296. David, well you just now figured it out. Let me keep reading,

  297. and you'll take note that why did it say the half tribal of Manassa here,

  298. because Vanassa had territory on both sides of the Jordan. I need to

  299. continue on. Let's see here of verse fifteen. They came to the sons

  300. of Reuben and the sons of Gad, into the half tribal of Manassa,

  301. to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying, thus,

  302. the whole congregation of the Lord, what is this unfaithful act, what

  303. you have committed against the Lord of Israel, turning away from the following of

  304. the Lord this day by building yourselves an altar to rebel against the Lord this

  305. day? Is it not the iniquity of pure enough for us, in which

  306. we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although plague came on the congregation

  307. of the Lord, that you much turn away this day from following the Lord.

  308. If you rebel against the Lord today, you will be angry with the

  309. whole congregation of Israel tomorrow. If, however, the land of our possession

  310. is unclean, then cross into the land of the possession of the Lord,

  311. where the Lord's tabernacle stands, and take possession among us. Only. Do

  312. not rebel against the Lord, or rebel against us by building an altar for

  313. yourselves besides the altar of the Lord. Our God did not ache the son

  314. of Ziiah act unfaithfully into the things under the ban and wrath fall on the

  315. congregation of Israel, and that man did not perish alone for his iniquity.

  316. Then the sons of Reuben, and the sons of God, and the half

  317. tribal Manassa answered and spoke to the heads of the families of Israel. The

  318. Mighty One God, the Lord, the mighty one God, the Lord he

  319. knows, and may Israel know itself. If it was in rebellion, or

  320. if it in faith will act against the Lord, do not save us this

  321. day. If we have built an altar to turn away from following the Lord,

  322. or if to offer a burnt offering or great offering on it, or

  323. to offer sacrifices or peace offerings on it may the Lord himself require it,

  324. But truly we have done this out of concern for a reason, saying,

  325. in time to come, your sons may say to our sons, what have

  326. we to do with the Lord, the God of Israel. For the Lord

  327. has made the Jordan a border between us and you and the sons of Reuben

  328. and the sons of God. You have no portion in the lords. So

  329. your sons may make our sons stop fearing the Lord. So take note the

  330. one here in the one here in the middles Manassa, right, Jose,

  331. correct, because Manassa wasn't a fence, but only partly because mouth of their

  332. inheritance was on the other side of the Jordan. It's just absolutely prof you

  333. know, prophecy just off the hook. So these phrases being tied together and

  334. these instances, is this why David commanded the whole congregation to bless the Lord.

  335. Some things are much too wonderful for us. Let me say that again,

  336. some things are much too wonderful for us. But hindsight truly is twenty

  337. twenty. Well, Matthew. In these chapters that we've been covering in this

  338. series, we keep seeing again this theme of the altar, the sacrifice the

  339. feast. Right, if we go into verse twenty one and twenty two of

  340. First Chronicles twenty nine, it tells us the sacrifice that was made, and

  341. verse twenty two says, so they ate and drank that day before the Lord

  342. with great gladness. And onet King's eighteen were told that Ahab himself eats and

  343. drinks after Elijah, the sacrifice that Elijah did before the Lord. And again

  344. we're told that that was an offering for the evening sacrifice. Right, And

  345. when we jump back to Exodus thirty two, were that phrase, This phrase

  346. came up forty days before before Moses came down from that mountain, Matthew,

  347. all the heads of visual were there with Moses before he went up. And

  348. again they had a sacrifice before the Lord, and they ate that sacrifice before

  349. the Lord. So this whole, this whole prophetic theme of the altars,

  350. of the sacrifice, of the festival, the feasts of the Lord. God,

  351. God's tried to give us a hit and an indication as to the timing

  352. of these events. Matthew, he absolutely is, He absolutely is. And

  353. you know, we really do need to start driving this home. We are

  354. Christians, Jose, amen, and when is our first of months? Now,

  355. normally when you say this, people that are unaware of the simple fact

  356. they've been judaized, they will immediately say rob Sean correct, correct, ladies

  357. and gentlemen. You need to come to the simple fact that, Jose,

  358. what sacrifice did Christ fulfill? Which one? The Passover sacrifice? Matthew,

  359. it was the Passover, ladies and gentlemen, Yes, it was the Passover.

  360. And you need to know that there's a whopping big difference between the secular

  361. calendar in the Bible and the religious one. Now I have to say that

  362. for a reason. I mean, well, that is really the only way

  363. to put it. There's a civil calendar and there is a religious calendar.

  364. And God has has made it perfectly clear that as God's children, our first

  365. of months is in Nissan. Yes, yes, it is because of the

  366. Passover. This is why Jesus fulfilled the Passover sacrifice, not the one on

  367. yon Kapoor, did he Jose, No, Matthew, no, no we

  368. didn't. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, He fulfilled the Passover. So everybody

  369. needs to realize you start your year because you're a Christian at Passover yes,

  370. you do. Now. The problem is is that the majority of Christians on

  371. this planet know this, but for some reason here in the West, we've

  372. become disassociated with things like the Feast of the Ascension. You have no idea

  373. what Ascension tide is. You have no idea what Pentecost is. You literally

  374. have no idea. You have no idea what the ten Days of Testing are

  375. about. You literally have no idea. Because the Judaizers of today that have

  376. infected the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ wants you to only see one thing

  377. Rashashan or Rashashana, Rassiashan or Rashashana, the feast of trumpets, the feast

  378. of trumpets. But that's just here in the US. The Church in the

  379. East, they all know these things. Hose, what's your thoughts on that?

  380. On the simple fact that he is screaming this out in this in this

  381. series that we're doing, He's forcing you to see it. He's not coming

  382. out and saying it yet, he's forcing you to see it. What's what's

  383. your thoughts on that? Yeah, Matthew, I can understand how people can

  384. can try to take a look at all the Jewish feasts and try to draw

  385. conclusions prophetically about what's going to happen. But you're right, the one that

  386. we absolutely need to focus on to orient ourselves as we as we look prophetically

  387. through the Bible is is that passover sacrifice. Because that is what God himself

  388. said that Jesus was. He was that lamb that was slain without blemish.

  389. He was our pass over sacrifice. It's because of him that we are able

  390. to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, because of him that we belong to the

  391. Father, because of the sacrifice he made. So yes, the other feasts

  392. and festivals are important, Matthew, Yes, we need to study them,

  393. but boy, we really I mean, we get a Holy week, right,

  394. that's every Christian church has a Holy Week that we're supposed to celebrate and

  395. commemorate the death of our Lord and his resurrection. So God himself gives you

  396. a whole week there, Matthew, to study this out and to refocus ourselves

  397. and to prepare ourselves for that assssion tite, prepare ourselves for those everything that

  398. he tells us that occurs after Jesus' resurrection. So yeah, it's really important,

  399. Matthew, boy, to at least get that part down right, at

  400. least get at least this, at least get those details hashed out, and

  401. understand how God's gonna use that istraconally for us well, because wow, wow,

  402. people just don't understand. Ladies, you need to understand this. That

  403. Daniel plainly states that the Prince of the Covenant will be cut off in the

  404. middle of the week. Amen. Amen, listen. The weekness talking about

  405. is the feat of an living bread? Yes, yes it is. Do

  406. you not know? Let you passover is really day one of the feast of

  407. leving Bread. And if you didn't know that Christ resurrected dead Pan in the

  408. middle of the feast of un love and bread. I don't even know.

  409. If you're not here, if you're not understanding what I'm saying, because all

  410. you've heard is teaching from people that have been judaized. You're so disconnected from

  411. the reality of prophecy based upon the Lord Jesus Christ, I don't even know.

  412. Jose. Head over to Exodus chapter twelve. Please, okay, we're

  413. I'm going to have you read here. You just need to read the first

  414. twenty two verses. Okay, just read the first twenty two verses. I

  415. mean God, listen. You need to hearken to my voice. Blade.

  416. I don't care who you have listened to and who's taught you. This is

  417. true. And you need to know that the Lord Jesus Christ fulfilled this sacrifice.

  418. Yes, yes, he did read it up for sosei. All right

  419. now, the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,

  420. this month shall be the beginning of months for you. It is to be

  421. the first month of the year. To you speak to all the Congregation of

  422. Israel, saying, on the tenth of this month, they are each one

  423. to take a lamb for themselves according to their father's households, a lamb for

  424. each household. Now, if the household is too small for a lamb,

  425. then he and his neighbor nearest to his house are to take one according to

  426. the number of persons in them, according to what each man should eat.

  427. You are to divide the lamb. Your lamb shall be an unblemish male a

  428. year old. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats.

  429. You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the

  430. whole assembly of the Congregation of Israel is to kill it at twilight. Moreover,

  431. they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts

  432. and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it. They shall

  433. eat the flesh that same night, roasted with fire, and they shall eat

  434. it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. Do not eat any of it raw

  435. or boiled at all with water, but rather roasted with fire, both its

  436. head and its legs, along with its entrails. And you shall not leave

  437. any of it over until morning. But whatever is left of it until morning

  438. you shall burn with fire. Now you shall eat it in this manner,

  439. with your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in

  440. your hand, and you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord's

  441. passover, for I will go through the land of Egypt on that night and

  442. will strike down all the first board in the land of Egypt, both man

  443. and beast, and against all the gods of Egypt. I will execute judgments.

  444. I am the Lord. The blood shall be assigned for you on the

  445. houses where you live. And when I see the blood, I will pass

  446. over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you. When I

  447. strike the land of Egypt. Now this day will be memorial to you.

  448. You shall celebrate it as a feast to the Lord. Throughout your generations.

  449. You are to celebrate it as a permanent ordinance. Seven days you shall eat

  450. unleavened bread. But on the first day you shall remove eleven from your houses.

  451. For whoever eats anything leavened from the first day until the seventh day,

  452. that person shall be cut off from Israel. On the first day you shall

  453. have a holy assembly, and another holy assembly on the seventh day. No

  454. work at all shall be done on them, except what must be eaten by

  455. every person. That alone may be prepared for you. You shall also observe

  456. the feast of unloven bread, for on this very day I brought your host

  457. out of the land of Egypt. There show you. I'll observe this day

  458. throughout your generations as a permanent ordinance. In the first month, on the

  459. fourteenth day of the month, at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until

  460. the twenty first day of the month at evening. Seven days there shall be

  461. no leaven found in your houses, for whoever eats what is leavened, that

  462. person shall be cut off from the congregation. Of Israel, whether he is

  463. an alien or a native of the land. You shall not eat anything leavened

  464. in all your dwellings. You shall eat unleavened bread. Then Moses called for

  465. all the elders of Israel and said to them, go and take for yourselves

  466. lambs according to your families, and slay the passover. Lamb. You shall

  467. take a bunch of hits up and dip it in the blood which is in

  468. the basin, and apply some of the blood that is in the basin to

  469. the lentil and to the doorposts. And none of you shall go outside the

  470. door of his house until morning. That, ladies and gentlemen, is how

  471. it is. And it is no other way. And if you don't know

  472. this, if you don't know that, he was quite plain. He just

  473. undo, He just undid everything you want to happen. If you hear these

  474. beauty ezers saying, hey, hey, hey, hey hey, our time

  475. begins at the new moon. Isn't this what they always say? Jose,

  476. Yes, what did God just say? He purposely said on the fourteenth they

  477. because this was done on the full moon. Amen. Amen, So everything,

  478. ladies and gentlemen, you're Christians, We're not children of the Light?

  479. Amen? Amen? Do you not know Jesus Christ is the one that fulfilled

  480. these verses? And if you didn't know that he was, ladies and gentlemen,

  481. is it not the truth that he was crucified Jose? Yes, it

  482. is, Matthew on passover Amen. Amen. Now once you know that he

  483. resurrected, how many days later Jose? Three days later, Matthew, that's

  484. in the middle of the feast of unleavened bread. Yes it is Jose.

  485. Yes it is, ladies and gentlemen. If you didn't know to watch for

  486. these things. And there's so much I could tell you right now, and

  487. the only thing I can say is this. If you want more information on

  488. this very thing, I've provided some things over there on Patreon. Now everybody

  489. knows I don't do a whole lot advertising, but it's patreon dot com backslash

  490. Matthew Miller. I've just did two videos on this. They're called twenty thirty

  491. and Passover twenty twenty four. That's all I'm going to say, because I

  492. don't have to say anymore. If you want more information on this as it

  493. pertains to you, and I don't mean tomorrow or five year. I mean,

  494. right now, just go check that out. That's all I'm going to

  495. say. But ladies and gentlemen, I've got to say this, and I'm

  496. not going to try to say it an offensive way, because Maranatha Ministries is

  497. we're not like anything you've encountered before. Right now, as a Westernized Christian,

  498. you've encountered two types of esca ptology. There's rapturist and there's preatorist.

  499. Where neither of those were right in the middle. We are isochronalists because that's

  500. what God says. But you also need to know this, there's two different

  501. types of prophetic ministries. Most in the West are Israeli based prophecy ministries.

  502. The others are Jesus based prophecy ministries. And I'm telling you the truth,

  503. you know, hose. Let's talk lightly about that document that I shared with

  504. you today. Don't mention its name or where it's at. Okay, is

  505. it not true that when people read those things they think those prophecies have already

  506. come true in nineteen forty eight, Yes, Matthew, that's what they say.

  507. Yes, you'd never heard anything else contrary to that until this very day,

  508. right, correct? But once I pointed it out to you. Now

  509. it screams, and nobody can take it from you, can they? Amen?

  510. Now that you realize what that Old Testament prophecy was was just one end

  511. of a telescope. Once I showed you the scripture in the New Testament,

  512. that was the other end of the telescope, wasn't it. Yes, Matthew,

  513. that's correct. And now you realize that telescope is pointed right at the

  514. Lord Jesus Christ, isn't it? Amen? And you prophetically talked about these

  515. things this very day because you realized what John was talking about in his gospel

  516. was what happened this day when David had assembled all the artifacts and the assembly

  517. of the people to prepare for christ temple. But let me say that again.

  518. You had never heard anything different before today? Had you about those Old

  519. Testament prophecies? No, Matthew, No, that's what That's what everyone says.

  520. Yes, those have all been fulfilled, so don't even bother reading them.

  521. So now that you see what's actually going on, it makes you wonder

  522. why people couldn't see it correct, correct, because it's literally in broad daylight

  523. who he's talking about, and he's not talking about the Israelis. How is

  524. it that the Western Church has had this taken from this, because look,

  525. I'm going to tell you the truth at this point in time. It doesn't

  526. matter what church you might visit in the town I'm in, they'd all tell

  527. you the same thing. Oh yeah, yeah, that prophecy was fulfilled in

  528. nineteen forty eight. I take gumbradge with that. I take umbrage with that,

  529. because, well, ladies and gentlemen, you might want to read Romans

  530. nine through eleven, but you need to know this. I don't care what

  531. your teachers or your preachers are telling you. If they're directing you to the

  532. civil Hebrew calendar, they are dead bang wrong, because the Lord your God

  533. said that. Of course that's what they would do. Of course they would,

  534. but his children would harken to his voice and know that their first month

  535. is the seventh month. Ladies and gentlemen, do you not know when the

  536. Jews add a leap month? Do you not know that? You probably don't

  537. even know what month that is? Do you? Ladies and gentlemen? That

  538. should bother you, because you're gonna look it up and when you realize that,

  539. oh no, they do that not because of the civil calendar. They

  540. do that at the best of the Lord. There God. It's going to

  541. make you check yourself and you're probably going to listen to those people you've been

  542. listening to from here on out, and what they say is not going to

  543. ring true. You're going to know something's wrong with what's coming out of their

  544. mouth, because as one of God's people, your entire existence is based off

  545. the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hose on your closing comments, Yeah,

  546. Matthew, I just think it's really important that the listener understand the Passover

  547. sacrifice and what God's telling us when he says to accept his passover sacrifice,

  548. his lab his son, and to put his blood on your lintels and on

  549. your door posts, because he will go through the land of Egypt, and

  550. he will strike down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both men

  551. and beast, and against the gods of Egypt. He will execute judgment,

  552. for he is the Lord. He's told us that is that's what is to

  553. come. He's told us that's what he's done in the past, and we

  554. need to be ready for that. And ladies and gentlemen, you better be

  555. ready for when he gathers you together, take us out of here in prayer.

  556. Jose, dear heavenly Father, whom we love and serve this ministry,

  557. thanks you for giving us time and resources to come together, to join with

  558. the ecclesia and studying your word, to join with your children and your sheep,

  559. and studying so that we may be shown true. Father. I asked

  560. that all the ecclesia who is struggling now, that you give them strength to

  561. endure, That you give them constant reminders of the promises you have given us.

  562. That you help us understand the sacrifice that your son made for us,

  563. so that we may be with you, Father, in your house. And

  564. I just asked that you continue to give us the wherewithal to spread your word

  565. so that we may play our part in building the temple your house, which

  566. is the body of your son. Lord. I ask all this in the

  567. name of your son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen,

  568. Amen and Amen. Until next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless God

  569. speed. Thank you for listening to Marinath the ministries with Math. I appreciate
