-
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 hosts Jose and Matthew. Tonight we're going to take a look at something
-
very important, the Great Apostasy. Now, unfortunately here is of late.
-
There have been quite a few rapturists. And let me to if you're a
-
rapturist, this ministry defines you as such. You believe that the Greek alagismalthea,
-
that's that Greek word there used for change in the twinkling of an eye.
-
You believe that you're changing is going to happen before Christ Perusia. Now,
-
it doesn't matter if you're mid, it doesn't matter if you're pre If
-
you believe that you're going to be changed before Christ return, that makes you
-
a rapturist as far as this ministry is concerned. It just makes it easier
-
for us. That's not a derogatory term. It's just how that Jose and
-
I is going to address that the other people that believe that all the prophecies
-
have been fulfilled in seventy eighty, those are preterists. So basically, the
-
left is the rapturist and the right is the pretorist, and we are,
-
of course the straight and narrow right between them. We are isochronus. That's
-
what we are. We believe in isochronology. So we need to take a
-
really good look at this because as of late, the raptures have been saying
-
that the word apostasy actually means the rapture. Now, Jose and I have
-
addressed this before, but not in this light, because we need to teach
-
you what the real apostasy is. Because yes, the Hellenica comes right out
-
and tells you. It comes right out and tells you what this is all
-
about. So let's go to the text here in second Thessalonians, chapter two,
-
the word in question is there in verse three. Now I'm going to
-
start from the top. Now we request you, brethren, with regard to
-
the coming of our Lord Jesus and our gathering together to him, that you
-
be not quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or
-
by a message or a letter as if from us to the effect that the
-
day of the Lord has come. Let no one in any way deceive you,
-
for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man
-
of lawlessness is revealed, the Sun of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself
-
above every so called god or object of worship, so that he takes his
-
seat in the Temple of God, displaying himself as being God. Now he's
-
using this Greek word apasta see it here for really good reason, because this
-
exact thing has happened before. Literally, what's being described here is that at
-
some point in time in church. And I'm sorry, I'm not being prejudiced
-
your church. I don't care if you're going to a Methodist church or a
-
Presbyterian church or a Lutheran church. Your church, I don't care if it's
-
an Eastern Orthodox church, a Catholic church, a Pentecostal church. Sacrilege is
-
going to be performed inside that church. And this has absolutely happened before,
-
and you need to know about it because there was a time when the exact
-
circumstances that will arise with the Assyrian false prophet is going to happen these exact
-
things have happened before with another leader. Now the good thing about this leader
-
is he was whitewashed with his son. His son did a one point eighty
-
and cleanse the temple. And we're going to have to take a look at
-
these scriptures because this word apostasy is used in what happened during that time that
-
this wicked king was reigning. So, Jose, why don't you share with
-
everybody who this king was and the circumstances surrounding why this Greek word apostas is
-
associated with him? All right, Matthew, So the king that we're talking
-
about is King a Has. He was one of the kings of Judah.
-
Now this king should be familiar to us because of the immanual prophecy what we're
-
told about in Isaiah chapter seven and quite a few of the gospels. Right
-
it references Isaiah chapter seven, and so you get this prophecy asking this king
-
to test God, and of course he doesn't want to do it, but
-
yet the prophecy still comes regardless from the prophet Isaiah. Now, this prophecy
-
was to show him what was going to happen to the kings that were aligned
-
against him, and it was basically to be reassurance to him to put his
-
faith in God and not in anyone else, no other king. But of
-
course this king doesn't do that. This king seeks the aid of the Assyrians
-
against Damascus and against Israel. This Assyrian king is Tiglath police Er the third.
-
And so when he does this, yes, he he handled the the
-
Assyrian handles his enemies. But at the same time it is it makes the
-
Kingdom of Judah a vassal state under him. And as being the vassal state,
-
the Assyrian now has access Matthew to God's Temple and everything in it.
-
And so that's where the tie in comes with what you just read there in
-
Second Thessalonians chapter two. So there's more detail obviously to that story, but
-
that's that's a nice coverage of what of what inspired Matthew. So jem me
-
if I just just give me the short thumbnail sketch of what happened to the
-
temple? Then did everything stay the same? Did they continue worshiping the Lord
-
inside the temple? Let me see what it says here. I'm not seeing
-
it, Matthew, what happened, but I know the per the Bible all
-
that stuff was profaned. Everything that was in the temple was profaned. Okay,
-
why don't you read the religious observance there in the article that I sent
-
you. Okay, sure, just read it out loud, all right.
-
A has yielded readily to the glamour and prestige of the Assyrians in religion as
-
well as in politics. In seven point thirty two, he went to Damascus
-
to swear homage to take that plesser and his gods, and taking a fancy
-
to an altar which he saw there, he had one like it made in
-
Jerusalem, which, with the corresponding change and ritual, he made a permanent
-
feature of the temple worship. Changes were also made in the arrangements and furniture
-
of the temple because of the King of Assyria. Furthermore, A has fitted
-
up an astrological observatory with accompanying sacrifices after the fashion of the ruling people.
-
In other ways, A has lord the character of national worship. Second King
-
sixteen, verse three records that A has offered his son by fire to Moloch,
-
or made his son pass through the fire, a practice condemned by Leviticus.
-
The words may refer to A ceremony of purification or a sacrificial offering.
-
The account and second Chronicles twenty eight refers to sons. His government is considered
-
by the Unimastic historian as having been disastrous for the religious state of the country,
-
and a large part of the reforming work of his son Hezekiah was aimed
-
at undoing the evil that he has had done. I'm sure that what you
-
just read is a shell shock even to Marinatha members, isn't it? Yes,
-
it is, Matthew, Now, Jose, to you understand the chilling
-
implications here, especially concerning the immanual prophecy. Yes, Now, did you
-
know, ladies and gentlemen, did you know a has did this in the
-
Lord's temple? He not only sent up that altar. Now, I know
-
that everybody's been been kind of stuck in revelation where it says where Satan has
-
his throat? Right, Jose, Yes, there's that one special church that
-
Lord Jesus Christ come out and says where Satan's throne is. Nobody remembered this,
-
though, did they? Aas took an Assyrian altar and set it up
-
in the temple, rearranging the temple furniture. You know the Menorah, ladies
-
and gentlemen, you know the table for the show bred he rearranged everything.
-
When you know this, and you prophetically look at the Book of Daniel when
-
it talks about when this one has the power to trample down the host of
-
heaven. You read that, especially in the Septulogist, it is not very
-
good at all, because literally, speaking literally, the Sebtulogen is saying that
-
he is altering the celestial dynamics. That is to say, he's rearranging the
-
solar system. Now when I say that, that's a real shock to the
-
system. But this is exactly what a has was doing. Remember we know
-
this for a fact, right, Jose, It's undeniable that God made it
-
perfectly clear that not only the Tabernacle, but the temple itself was a model
-
after what's in heaven. Amen. And when someone starts rearranging the furniture in
-
the temple, that means they're rearranging things in the heavens. Correct, Correct?
-
Why has nobody taught you this before? Ladies and gentlemen, Why did
-
you not know what happened in Second Chronicles, chapter twenty nine. Why didn't
-
you know? I mean, especially if you've been a member of Marianatha ministries
-
for the past what thirteen years? You have no excuse to have never understood
-
what I mean, really, especially the ratifications here well of time itself.
-
When I say this in a classroom, I have literally had people just stocked
-
when I pointed this out to them, because it's really not funny when you
-
really take a look at it and look at it, because he prophetically comes
-
out here and gives you a time frame. Let's go to Second Chronicles,
-
chapter twenty eight. A has was twenty years old when he became keen,
-
and he reigned sixteen years. Now, ladies and gentlemen, if you don't
-
understand how prophetic that is, boy, you've got a lot to learn,
-
because that specific word is also used in how the length of climate took for
-
has Akia to clean up his daddy's mess. Now, look, I'm going
-
to read it. You just have to believe it. How long did a
-
has reigned? I just said sixteen years? Right? Ose? Yes?
-
How does this take you? Okay? I want to go to the next
-
chapter twenty nine, and I'm want to read view verses sixteen and seventeen.
-
So the priest went into the inner part of the House of the Lord to
-
cleanse it, and every unclean thing which they found in the temple of the
-
Lord they brought out to the court of the House of the Lord. Then
-
the Levites received it to carry it into the kid Droun valley. Now they
-
began the consecration on the first day of the first month, and on the
-
eighth day of the month they entered the porch of the Lord. Then they
-
consecrated the house of the Lord in eight days and finished on the sixteenth day
-
of the first month. So let me put that into you layman's terms.
-
Out in the outer court they cleaned for out days, and then they actually
-
went into the temple proper and cleaned for eight days. Now, didn't you
-
hear what it said? And they finished on the sixteenth day? Did you
-
catch it? Jose? How many years did he reign? Sixty years?
-
And how many days did it take to clean up his mess? Sixteen days,
-
one day for each year. If you've never heard that before, I
-
would challenge you this, do you really know everything there is to know about
-
the Assyrian false prophet? Because if you didn't know that before, right now
-
I would say, no, you have a lot to learn did anybody tell
-
you that he set up astronomical observatories in the temple? Why don't you know
-
this? If you know everything there is to know about Bible prophecy, why
-
would you assume that when this little horn is outly proclaimed to be able to
-
exercise dominion over the host of heaven and trample them down, that that would
-
have no significance as to what a Has was doing under the rule of the
-
Assyrian. If you don't know these things, it begs the question if you've
-
been studying Bible prophecy for twenty years, let's say, and you didn't know
-
that just that one little bitty thing that has a kayah cleaned up sixteen years
-
of apostasy in sixteen days. There's a lot of you studying here listening to
-
my voice that are in a state of shock because you thought Matthew had already
-
taught you everything there was to know about the Assyrian. So I think it
-
would behoove us to take a read of Second Chronicles, chapter twenty eight with
-
this backdrop in mind. This is very ominous. Why didn't anybody know that
-
the Emmanuel prophecy was given to a Has? It's amazing how you know these
-
bits of information, but they're in different compartments in your brain, right,
-
Jose Absolutely, Matthew. But now that I've told everybody about the Emmanuel eloheen,
-
that's right, ladies and gentlemen, if you've never heard me speak about
-
Immanuel, well I'm going to have to reign on your party because in the
-
mesoretic text. Oh yes, it occurs there in the plural form, it
-
is im Manual, lady, Yes it is, Yes, it is,
-
it's in the plural. I've shared this document publicly years ago, actually probably
-
about a decade ago. But when you realize, don't you understand, Oh
-
my goodness, Jose, you plainly write from that article that says that gives
-
you the scriptural reference, that it says his sons, he sacrificed his sons.
-
Correct, correct? Don't you realize who he was trying to sacrifice?
-
Jose, Lord, have mercy? Wait up, people, A has was
-
trying to exterminate em Manual. Did I rattle your cage? Ladies, gentlemen,
-
because all these things I can prove. So I have literally had people
-
in a state of shock in my classroom before. So Hosey's going to take
-
a read of Second Chronicles, chapter twenty, because we obviously need to find
-
out about a Has, because you need to understand that a Has was the
-
assyrians Arlot. So it is very important that we get this inside information as
-
to what's been what's going to be going on in our church. Yes,
-
yes, it will, ladies and gentlemen. If you're a rapturist or a
-
pretorist, I understand that your eschatology is extremely speak in emotion. I am
-
not that way because I believe the Bible is God's holy word. I really
-
don't care what it says. And it was my mother that taught me this.
-
She taught me, Matthew, don't get emotional about what God says in
-
the Bible. You just have to believe it, because that's the way it
-
is. And she explained to me. You know how, your daddy sometimes
-
will say you know, you'll ask him, well why, and he'll tell
-
you because I said, so, this is God's holy word, and you
-
do not question it when it says the sky's blue, it's blue. Now.
-
Because I was raised that way. That's probably why I don't have emotions
-
about doctrine and dogma, because quite frankly, if the Bible doesn't say it.
-
It doesn't exist. For me. Everything I learned, and I mean
-
everything I learned, the Bible told me first, so was take a listen
-
to this, because now that you understand the Assyrian is going to go after
-
and he is going to slaughter the innocence. The Bible plainly says that's what
-
he's going to do. He's going to go after those children. And now
-
you understand it. This is why he was sacrificing his sons. The problem
-
is he couldn't get his hands on the right one because the right one was
-
right underneath his nose. It was hazakayah. But ladies and gentlemen, he
-
thought it was a future child and he was. He was sacrificing them to
-
molch. He was trying to exterminate the the manual hose. You're going to
-
be reading this out of the New American Standard Bible ninety five. I take
-
it, Yes, I am Matthew. Let's take a read of it,
-
all right. Let me just add just a couple of things. Sure we've
-
when I've heard discussed in the past, abomination and desolation Antiochus epiphanies always comes
-
up. And what he did but Antio, but I never hear A has
-
brought up and what occurred in the temple that that at this time. Now
-
when I when I read about Antiochus and I read about Nebuka Nzer, Matthew,
-
they raided the temple. They took all the all the furniture, all
-
the utensils, everything out of out of the the temple. That's not what
-
a Has did. He left everything there, He just rearranged it. That's
-
right with anyone that studied any kind of ancient temples, they always rearranged their
-
furniture to reflect the heavens. Always, that was the whole purpose of it.
-
It was supposed to be the house of their God, and that as
-
it, and because of that, they reflected the heavens. So when you
-
talk about moving furniture, this is not just to make it look more room.
-
You're Matthew, there is a whole lot more going on there when you're
-
rearranging the furniture in any temple. Yes, So I will read Second Chronicles
-
twenty eight. AHAs was twenty years old when he became king, and he
-
reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and he did not do right in the sight
-
of the Lord as David and his father had done, but he walked in
-
the ways of the kings of Israel. He also made molten images for the
-
balls. Moreover, he burned incense in the valley of Ben Hinnom, and
-
burned his sons in fire, according to the abominations of the nation whom the
-
Lord had driven out. Before the sons of Israel, he sacrificed and burned
-
incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.
-
Wherefore the Lord his God delivered him into the hand of the King of
-
Aram, and they defeated him and carried away from him a great number of
-
captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the
-
hand of the King of Israel, who inflicted him with heavy casualties. For
-
Pecca, the son of Ramalayah slew and Judah one hundred and twenty thousand in
-
one day, all valiant men, because they had forsaken the Lord God of
-
their fathers. And Zikrie, A mighty man of Fraim, slew, Masaiah
-
the King's son, and Azrakam, the ruler of the house, and el
-
Kanah, the second to the king. The sons of Israel carried away captive
-
of their brethren two hundred thousand women, sons and daughters. And they took
-
also a great deal of spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.
-
But a prophet of the Lord was there, whose name was Odad,
-
and he went out to meet the army which came to Samaria, and said
-
to them, behold, because the Lord, the God of your fathers,
-
was angry with Judah, he has delivered them into your hand, and you
-
have slain them in a rage which has even reached heaven. Now you are
-
proposing to subjugate for yourselves the people of Judah and Jerusalem for male and female
-
slaves. Surely do you not have transgressions of your own against the Lord your
-
God. Now therefore, listen to me and return the captives whom you captured
-
from your brothers, for the burning anger of the Lord is against you.
-
Then some of the heads of the sons of Ephraim, as Aiah, the
-
son of Johannan, Berakiah, the son of mashilimoth Jehesekiah the son of Shalum,
-
and Amasa the son of Hadlai, arose against those who were coming from
-
the battle and said to them, you must not bring the captives in here,
-
for you are proposing to bring upon its guilt against the Lord, adding
-
to our sins, and our guilt, for our guilt is great, so
-
that it's burning angers against Israel. So the armed men left the captives and
-
the spoil before the officers and all the assembly. Then the men who were
-
designated by name arose took the captives, and they clothed all their naked ones
-
from the spoil, and they gave them clothes and sandals, fed them and
-
gave them drink, anointed them with oil, that all their feeble ones on
-
donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to
-
their brothers. Then they returned to Samaria. At that time King Ahaz sent
-
to the kings of Assyria for help, for again the Edomites had come and
-
attacked Judah and carried away captives. The Philistines also had invaded the cities of
-
the Lowland and of the Negev of Judah, and had taken beshameesh Ajalon,
-
Ghetaroth, and Soko with its villages, team Now with its villages, and
-
Gimsoh with his villages and they settled there. For the Lord humbled Judah because
-
of Ahaz, King of Israel, for he had brought about a lack of
-
restraint in Judah, and was very unfaithful to the Lord. So Tiglath Pilneser,
-
King of Assyria, came against him and afflicted him instead of strengthening him.
-
Although Ahaz took a portion out of the house of the Lord and out
-
of the palace of the King and of the Princes, and gave it to
-
the King of Assyria, it did not help him. Now in the time
-
of his distress, the same king Ahaz became yet more unfaithful to the Lord,
-
for he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which had defeated him,
-
and said, because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, I
-
will sacrifice to them that they may help me. But they became the downfall
-
of him and all Israel. Moreover, when AHAs gathered together the utensils of
-
the House of God, he cut the utensils of the House of God in
-
peaces, and he closed the doors and the house of the Lord, and
-
made altars for himself in every corner of Jerusalem, in every city of Judah,
-
he made high places to burn incense to other gods and provoke the Lord,
-
the god of his fathers, to anger. Now the rest of his
-
acts and all his ways, from first to last, behold, they are
-
written in the book of the Kings of Judah and Israel. So AHAs slept
-
with his fathers, and they buried him in the city in Jerusalem, for
-
they did not bring him to the tombs of the Kings of Israel. And
-
Hezekiah, his son, reigned in his place. So we could, of
-
course read more from the Second Kings chapter sixteen. But I think it's enough.
-
You know what, Jose, why don't you jump over to Second Kings
-
chapter sixteen, Okay and read that too. I don't think it's go the
-
hurt the Lord just pushed me. I think we should get it too,
-
So fire away. In the seventeenth year of Pekah, the son of Ramalaiah,
-
AHAs, the son of Jotham, king of Judah, became king.
-
AHAs was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years
-
in Jerusalem. And he did not do what was right in the sight of
-
the Lord his God, as his father David had done but he walked in
-
the way of the kings of Israel, and even made his son pass through
-
the fire according to the abominations of the nations whom the Lord had driven out
-
from before the sons of Israel, he sacrificed and burned incense on the high
-
places and on the hills and under every green tree. Then Resin, King
-
of Aram, and Pecca, son of Ramalayah, King of Israel, came
-
up to Jerusalem to rage war, and they besieged AHAs, but could not
-
overcome him. At that time, Resin, King of Aram, recovered Elith
-
for Aram and cleared the Judeans out of Elath entirely, and the Aramians came
-
to Elath and have lived there to this day. So Ah has sent messengers
-
to Tiglath Polesser, King of Assyria, saying, I am your servant and
-
your son, come up and deliver me from the hand of the King of
-
Aram and from the hand of the King of Israel, who are rising up
-
against me. Ah has took the silver and gold that was found in the
-
house of the Lord, and then the treasuries of the king's house, and
-
sent the president to the King of Assyria. So the King of Assyria listened
-
to him, and the King of Assyria went up against Damascus and captured it
-
and carried the people of it away into exile to cure to put resin to
-
death. Now King AHAs went to Damascus to meet Tiglath Pelesser, King of
-
Assyria, and saw the altar which was at Damascus. And King AHAs sent
-
to Euriah the priest the pattern of the altar and its model, according to
-
all its workmanship. So Euryah the Priest built an altar according to all that
-
King AHAs had sent from Damascus. Thus Uriah the Priest made it before the
-
coming of the King of Ahaz from da Mascus. When the king came from
-
the Mascus, the king saw the altar. Then the king approached the altar
-
and went up to it and burned his burnt offering and his meal offering,
-
and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on
-
the altar. The bronze altar which was before the lord, he brought from
-
the front of the house, from between his altar and the house of the
-
Lord, and he put it on the north side of his altar. Then
-
King Ahaz commanded Uriah the Priest, saying, upon the great altar, burn
-
the morning burnt offering, and the evening meal offering, and the king's burnt
-
offering, and his meal offering, with the burnt offering of all the people
-
of the land, and their meal offering and their drink offerings. And sprinkle
-
on it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of
-
the sacrifice. But the bronze altar shall be for me to inquire by so
-
Uriah the Priest did according to all that King A has commanded. Then King
-
A has cut off the borders of the stands and removed the laver from them.
-
He also took down the sea from the bronze oxen which were under it,
-
and put it on a pavement of stone. The covered way for the
-
Sabbath which they had built in the house, and the outer entry of the
-
king he removed from the house of the Lord because of the King of Assyria.
-
Now the rest of the acts of AHAs which he did, are they
-
not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah. So
-
Ah has slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city
-
of David and his son Hezekiah reigned in his place. Boy, that's a
-
whole lot of data, isn't it. Yes, it is, Matthew.
-
And let me ask you this. Why has nobody mentioned what this? Have
-
you ever heard concerning the anti Christ? Have you ever heard anybody bring up
-
this priest? No? Can I ask you a question? Why was a
-
priest building things? It kind of makes you want to look into this prophetically,
-
doesn't it, Jose. Matthew st tearing these names apart. But let's
-
get back to the case. In Tewod Thessalonian's chapter two, when it talks
-
about this apostasy, you're supposed to know. You're supposed to know that the
-
one who did the great apostasy was a hass and and it took. And
-
it blows me a while. People don't put two and two together, ladies
-
and gentlemen. Hazekayah was an answer to the emmanual prophecy that he had already
-
been born. This is why he lived to be the successor of Aightas.
-
When this plainly stated that he was on multiple occasions, multiple verses, it
-
said he was sacrificing his sons. Correct, Jose, Correct, so it
-
blows me away when people just don't put two and two together, They just
-
they just can't see it. And it I mean, most people do know
-
the emmanual prophecy, right, Jose, Yes they should, Matthew, it's
-
the start of the Gospels. I mean, it is the beginning. Look,
-
I'm going to read from Isaiah chapter seven. Ladies and gentlemen, Well
-
what I'm telling you is real. Now. It came about in the days
-
of a Has, the son of Jotham, the son of z a Riath,
-
the king of Judah, that resident the king of Arab and speak of
-
the son of Romolil, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to wage
-
war against it, but could not conquer it. When it was reported to
-
the House of David, saying that Aramians hav encamped in Ephraem, his heart
-
and the hearts of the people shook as the trees of the forest shake with
-
the wind. Then the Lord's Isaiah, you and your son Jared, come
-
to on the highway to the foolish film and see him. Take care,
-
be calm, have no fear, do not fade heart, because he's two
-
dubs of smoldering fire brands on account of the fierce anger of Resin of Aaron
-
and the son of Ramala. Because Aaron with em and the sons of Ramala
-
has to planned evil against you, saying, let us go up against Judah
-
and tear at it, and make for ourselves a breash in its walls,
-
and set up the son of Tabil as king in the midst of it.
-
Thus says the Lord God, it shall not stand, nor shall it come
-
to pass. For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of
-
Damaska is Resin. Now within another sixty five years, Efrim will be shattered,
-
so that it is no longer a people. And the head of Ephraim
-
is Samaria, and that of Samari is the son of Ramala. If you
-
do not believe, you surely shall not last. Then the Lord spoke again
-
to Aas, saying, ask us, son for yourself from the Lord your
-
God, make it as deep as show or as high as heaven. But
-
he has said, I will not ask, nor will I test the Lord.
-
Then he said, listen, now, o house of David, is
-
it too slight a thing for you to try to patience of men, that
-
you will try the patience of my God as well? Therefore, the Lord
-
himself will give you a sign. Be Hold, a virgin will be with
-
child and Barras's son, and will call his name Immanuel before he eats kurage
-
and honey, and the time he knows enough to refuse evil and choose good.
-
For before the boy will know enough to refuse evil and choose good.
-
The land who's two kings you dread, will be forsaken. But you know
-
what really happens, don't you? Because Jose read it to you. He
-
rejected the word of the Lord. Instead, he decided to play the harld
-
with the Assyrian. And now you understand why he was sacrificing his children.
-
I mean, whose Once you put two and two together, this is a
-
shock to the psyche, isn't it? It is, Matthew, especially when
-
you understand what the emmanual prophecy was talking about. Who who? Who it
-
was actually talking about. A has new the worth of those children being born,
-
and so he willingly sacrificed, sacrifice them on the assyrians altar. Right,
-
I mean, let'sten. You have to understand what's at play here,
-
ladies and gentlemen. I know this is for hard hard for you to process.
-
It's overwhelming. It was for when it was taught to me. Look,
-
Isaiah himself, Yes, the prophet Isaiah. He went to a house
-
and the Lord God himself through Isaiah, said that he was going to deliver
-
a has from Israel and Aaron, and he promised him a son to prove
-
it. You need to wrap your mind around this. A has instead started
-
sacrificing the children that was born to him, to the God of Assyria.
-
Have you ever heard a worse thing concerning eschatology than what just came out of
-
my mouth? Jose No, Matthew, because it matches up exactly what God
-
prophesies. It's once around the ride. So now we understand the gravity of
-
him not worshiping the God of his father's Amen. Amen, Now you're able
-
to calculate that. You're able to understand, Oh, God, have mercy.
-
This is why he worships the beast from the Abyss. He is sacrificing
-
his own children through the beast from the Abyss. Now, look, everybody's
-
heard me say this before. I have always felt in my gut that the
-
assiring false prophet is related to the two witnesses. Everybody's heard me say that.
-
Will take note us me because will Oh my goodness, ladies and gentlemen,
-
you have to believe God's word? Does it not say? The little
-
horn uproots so many horns? Three? Correct? How many beasts are stirred
-
up? Ladies and gentlemen. From Daniel chapter seven four, the assiring false
-
prophets kingdom. It conquers the other three because in the end the whole planet
-
will be reduced to four different kingdoms. These other three kingdoms are harassing him,
-
and he approaches the beast from the Abyss to save him. I mean,
-
I know it's hard to digest, and I'm sorry, but everything I've
-
told you is true. The immanual prophecy was given to aid Has, so
-
he immediately rejects God and goes to the Assyrian and starts sacrificing his children upon
-
an Assyrian althar to the Assyrian God in an attempt to exterminate a Manuel.
-
Now, if you need a hint, you ain't got a clue. If
-
you just learned more in the past forty mines than you have in the past
-
twenty years, you've got a lot to catching up to do, because one
-
thing is for sure. Second, Thessalonians Chapter two was very clear, I
-
don't care when you think you're going to get raptured. You can take this
-
to the bank. The Bible, God's Holy Word says you are most definitely
-
going to see Him. Yes you are, Yes you are, and you're
-
most certainly going to see this apostasy happen. I read it to you once.
-
Did you not believe it? You have to realize that, ladies and
-
gentlemen, reading the Bibles like reading a dictionary. Hose, When you read
-
the dictionary, it's kind of strange because it's not like reading a novel,
-
right, right, It's not like reading the newspaper because even the newspaper you
-
take it with a grain of salt. But when you open a dictionary,
-
you instinctively, naturally ingrain it into your brain as absolute fact. Right,
-
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that's how you need to be reading the Bible,
-
God's Holy Word, because if you've got as much faith in it as
-
you do the newspaper, you don't have to worry about Bud Shepherd confusing you.
-
You don't believe it, so you're you're never going to understand what it
-
says. But what I'm telling you is true. It's let me read one
-
more time. This says you were going to be here for the event.
-
I don't care when you think you're going to be raptured. What I'm getting
-
ready to read it is true and you need to listen to it. You
-
need to hear it with ears that can hear. You need to read it
-
with guys that can read. You need to do that like it's a dictionary.
-
Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come
-
what the day of the Lord, It will not come unless the apostasy comes
-
first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,
-
who opposes and exalts himself above every so called God or object of worship,
-
so that he takes his seat and the temple of God, displaying himself as
-
being God. And yet there's rapturists out there teaching that the word apostasy means
-
the rapture. When if you know where this even came from with King ab
-
Has, Oh my goodness, you realize the breadth and the depth of the
-
deception. Who has deceived you? Because God has given you so much information
-
about what this apostasy is He's talking about. It's crazy, especially with hindsight
-
being twenty twenty, we know who the real Emmanuel was. Who's the real
-
Emmanuel? Jose Well, and Matthew, the Jesus fulfills that prophecy. That's
-
right, it's the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Now you put two and
-
two and two together. And if you didn't know these things, if look
-
the simplest things about these have I really haven't talked about the Hebrew or the
-
Greek yet, right, Jose No, we haven't, Matthew, ladies and
-
gentlemen, if you didn't see the simple thing that it took. It took
-
one day for each year that he reigned to clean the temple, don't you
-
understand what he's talking about. He's talking about what year in the heavens.
-
He's talking about solar system mechanics. God is trying to point out to you
-
how it is that this one, when he comes, can trample down the
-
host of heaven and exercise dominion over them. He's not like anything else that's
-
ever been or come. And the Book of Revelation does not call him anti
-
Christ. I am not lying. The word Antichrist is not in the Book
-
of Revelation, is it, Jose No, it is that Matthew. So
-
once you realize that this is set up prophetically, now you understand the prophetic
-
ramifications of what the rule of a has was. And now you understand that
-
what the rule of Hazekiah represents in Bible prophecy. Now, if you read
-
these two things, it'll blow your mind. It should get you very excited
-
to sit there and fidget. Matthew hasn't even talked about the reign of Hezekiah.
-
I wonder what's in there, ladies and gentlemen. I'm prepared to tell
-
you this. Everything's in there you probably ever wanted to know, especially concerning
-
timing. But before now you just rejected God's work. You just rejected it.
-
I didn't I did not write Isaiah chapter seven. No, I didn't.
-
It was always there. I didn't write Second Chronicles chapter twenty eight.
-
No, I didn't. Second King's Chapter sixteen's been there the whole time.
-
Why do you think it's chapter sixteen? I mean, so, let me
-
get strack. You don't even believe in biblical mechanics. You don't even believe
-
that the chapters are in the war they're supposed to be. Do you not
-
have the wherewithal to understand that the Bible, God's Holy Word has sixty six
-
books in it, and Isaiah has sixty six chapters in it, and you,
-
like what, think that's random or something? Because this whole time,
-
because this whole time, your clergy has not been teaching you that it's God's
-
holy Words. So you weren't reading it like a dictionary or an encyclopedia.
-
You were just reading it like a I don't know what, but when I
-
read it, I can't explain it. I guess and I think, and
-
I praise the Lord my God that my mom and dad had our Bible on
-
the electron in the living room. It was literally up on a pedestal my
-
whole life. I thank God that they taught me that this is where it
-
begins, and by God, this is where it ends. Matthew. Anything
-
you want to know right there, God is up in your face. He
-
will tell you exactly what he intends to do because you can't stop him.
-
If he says do this, you better do that thing, Matthew, because
-
your life depends on it. And I cannot thank them enough. I mean,
-
maybe it was because my dad would take off his belt if he caught
-
me with something on top of the Bible. Do you think I'm kidding him?
-
Not? Because I carried my Bible left what else mattered? So anyway,
-
you know, a little boy carries the Bible in his arm arms,
-
just like you carry school books. Well, when you get home and you
-
come in the front door and the first thing you come up to is the
-
table, and you naturally just bring your arm ount and flap them down.
-
Guess what if your math book is on top of the Bible, you getting
-
striped for it, and my dad would let you know, by God you
-
won't do it again. That's the Bible, God's holy Word. Nothing goes
-
on top of it. So you had to realize that your Bible had to
-
be the one touching your forearm. Maybe that's why no one can take it
-
from me. But you need to get this through your thick skulls. There
-
is nothing of a more valuable resource than the Bible. Because there is coming
-
a time he will most certainly supernaturally take it from you. Jose your thoughts,
-
well, Matthew, it only makes sense that this is where the Emmanuel
-
prophecy takes us. This is an abomination that causes desolation. What a has
-
was doing in the Lord's temple, and when we understand when the emmanual prophecy
-
occurs next, when the Lord himself comes and takes Emmanuel with him up to
-
heaven. He does that because the Assyrian is going after him, and the
-
Assyrian and whatever core hors are with him, whatever a has is playing the
-
harlet with him, whatever your Rayah is rearranging with him. That's who comes
-
after those one hundred and forty four thousand that are described in the Revelation chapter
-
fourteen. So of course it has to all tie in because God word makes
-
sense, God word is true, and God's word word is faithful, and
-
there's just no other way to put it. Matthew. There's of course,
-
of course this has to line up. Of course, all these this prophecy
-
has to line up with the first time the Assyrian did this in the Lord's
-
temple. So, boy, that's just more data to pack in, Matthew,
-
more data to sift through, and more confirmation of what we've been saying
-
all along. Yes, you know, I know I probably shook some people's
-
well, I probably shook their foundations, didn't I He did me Matthew,
-
Man, you know, man, how much should I say I always hate
-
that when I don't know how much. I don't know how much to say.
-
I'm hesitant to you know, because there's such a thing as information overload,
-
right, Yes, there is. I mean there is absolutely such a
-
thing as information overload. Look, if you can look at the Hebrew,
-
I want you to write these two verses down. They're in Exodus chapter twenty
-
verse nineteen. I don't need you to tell me what the strong says.
-
I'm sitting here looking at it. In Hebrew. It says Immanu will Elohim
-
in Exodus chapter twenty verse nineteen and Psalms fifty four to one. Yes it
-
does, it says the manual L. But the L is plural. It's
-
Emmanuel elhim. I don't need you to tell me what the strong says.
-
I'm literally looking at the mesobretic text right now with my own eyes. Look,
-
I can tell you things you probably have trouble comprehending, like alphanumerically this
-
phrase, there's two hundred and fifty two in the royal count, it's eight
-
hundred and twelve. I can't tell you more about this than than you can.
-
I could just overwhelm you with so much information. And that's not a
-
God. Everything is only beautiful in its time, and you need to understand
-
that about the immanual prophecy and has a KaiA. Everything is only beautiful in
-
its time. And that's why that God hater would not seem to give a
-
manual who is Assyrian Praise God, Jose, take us out of here in
-
prayer, Police, your heavenly Father, we thank you and give you praise
-
continuously. Lord. Tonight, we pray for those that are hungry, for
-
those that are thirsty, for those that are in need. Lord, we
-
know the only way that we are going to understand your word and the only
-
way we are going to know what is to come, is if we are
-
led by your holy Spirit to look out for those less fortunate and through that
-
spread your love and the love of your son. So Lord, I asked
-
that you provide for those in need, and that you push us and help
-
us to be your hand in that work. And again, Lord, I
-
pray for the lost, that you may gather them while there is still time.
-
And I ask all this in the name of your son, our Lord
-
and Savior is Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen, and Amen Jose, Ladies
-
and gentlemen, Please please do me a favor and get on your hands and
-
knees tonight before you go to bed, and just ask the Lord to send
-
the Holy Spirit to move in the people who are called by his name.
-
Ask him to stir up the children of the problem us because it's the only
-
hope we have until next time. God bless, God speed. Thank you
