  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. Tonight we're going to take a look at something

  6. very important, the Great Apostasy. Now, unfortunately here is of late.

  7. There have been quite a few rapturists. And let me to if you're a

  8. rapturist, this ministry defines you as such. You believe that the Greek alagismalthea,

  9. that's that Greek word there used for change in the twinkling of an eye.

  10. You believe that you're changing is going to happen before Christ Perusia. Now,

  11. it doesn't matter if you're mid, it doesn't matter if you're pre If

  12. you believe that you're going to be changed before Christ return, that makes you

  13. a rapturist as far as this ministry is concerned. It just makes it easier

  14. for us. That's not a derogatory term. It's just how that Jose and

  15. I is going to address that the other people that believe that all the prophecies

  16. have been fulfilled in seventy eighty, those are preterists. So basically, the

  17. left is the rapturist and the right is the pretorist, and we are,

  18. of course the straight and narrow right between them. We are isochronus. That's

  19. what we are. We believe in isochronology. So we need to take a

  20. really good look at this because as of late, the raptures have been saying

  21. that the word apostasy actually means the rapture. Now, Jose and I have

  22. addressed this before, but not in this light, because we need to teach

  23. you what the real apostasy is. Because yes, the Hellenica comes right out

  24. and tells you. It comes right out and tells you what this is all

  25. about. So let's go to the text here in second Thessalonians, chapter two,

  26. the word in question is there in verse three. Now I'm going to

  27. start from the top. Now we request you, brethren, with regard to

  28. the coming of our Lord Jesus and our gathering together to him, that you

  29. be not quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or

  30. by a message or a letter as if from us to the effect that the

  31. day of the Lord has come. Let no one in any way deceive you,

  32. for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man

  33. of lawlessness is revealed, the Sun of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself

  34. above every so called god or object of worship, so that he takes his

  35. seat in the Temple of God, displaying himself as being God. Now he's

  36. using this Greek word apasta see it here for really good reason, because this

  37. exact thing has happened before. Literally, what's being described here is that at

  38. some point in time in church. And I'm sorry, I'm not being prejudiced

  39. your church. I don't care if you're going to a Methodist church or a

  40. Presbyterian church or a Lutheran church. Your church, I don't care if it's

  41. an Eastern Orthodox church, a Catholic church, a Pentecostal church. Sacrilege is

  42. going to be performed inside that church. And this has absolutely happened before,

  43. and you need to know about it because there was a time when the exact

  44. circumstances that will arise with the Assyrian false prophet is going to happen these exact

  45. things have happened before with another leader. Now the good thing about this leader

  46. is he was whitewashed with his son. His son did a one point eighty

  47. and cleanse the temple. And we're going to have to take a look at

  48. these scriptures because this word apostasy is used in what happened during that time that

  49. this wicked king was reigning. So, Jose, why don't you share with

  50. everybody who this king was and the circumstances surrounding why this Greek word apostas is

  51. associated with him? All right, Matthew, So the king that we're talking

  52. about is King a Has. He was one of the kings of Judah.

  53. Now this king should be familiar to us because of the immanual prophecy what we're

  54. told about in Isaiah chapter seven and quite a few of the gospels. Right

  55. it references Isaiah chapter seven, and so you get this prophecy asking this king

  56. to test God, and of course he doesn't want to do it, but

  57. yet the prophecy still comes regardless from the prophet Isaiah. Now, this prophecy

  58. was to show him what was going to happen to the kings that were aligned

  59. against him, and it was basically to be reassurance to him to put his

  60. faith in God and not in anyone else, no other king. But of

  61. course this king doesn't do that. This king seeks the aid of the Assyrians

  62. against Damascus and against Israel. This Assyrian king is Tiglath police Er the third.

  63. And so when he does this, yes, he he handled the the

  64. Assyrian handles his enemies. But at the same time it is it makes the

  65. Kingdom of Judah a vassal state under him. And as being the vassal state,

  66. the Assyrian now has access Matthew to God's Temple and everything in it.

  67. And so that's where the tie in comes with what you just read there in

  68. Second Thessalonians chapter two. So there's more detail obviously to that story, but

  69. that's that's a nice coverage of what of what inspired Matthew. So jem me

  70. if I just just give me the short thumbnail sketch of what happened to the

  71. temple? Then did everything stay the same? Did they continue worshiping the Lord

  72. inside the temple? Let me see what it says here. I'm not seeing

  73. it, Matthew, what happened, but I know the per the Bible all

  74. that stuff was profaned. Everything that was in the temple was profaned. Okay,

  75. why don't you read the religious observance there in the article that I sent

  76. you. Okay, sure, just read it out loud, all right.

  77. A has yielded readily to the glamour and prestige of the Assyrians in religion as

  78. well as in politics. In seven point thirty two, he went to Damascus

  79. to swear homage to take that plesser and his gods, and taking a fancy

  80. to an altar which he saw there, he had one like it made in

  81. Jerusalem, which, with the corresponding change and ritual, he made a permanent

  82. feature of the temple worship. Changes were also made in the arrangements and furniture

  83. of the temple because of the King of Assyria. Furthermore, A has fitted

  84. up an astrological observatory with accompanying sacrifices after the fashion of the ruling people.

  85. In other ways, A has lord the character of national worship. Second King

  86. sixteen, verse three records that A has offered his son by fire to Moloch,

  87. or made his son pass through the fire, a practice condemned by Leviticus.

  88. The words may refer to A ceremony of purification or a sacrificial offering.

  89. The account and second Chronicles twenty eight refers to sons. His government is considered

  90. by the Unimastic historian as having been disastrous for the religious state of the country,

  91. and a large part of the reforming work of his son Hezekiah was aimed

  92. at undoing the evil that he has had done. I'm sure that what you

  93. just read is a shell shock even to Marinatha members, isn't it? Yes,

  94. it is, Matthew, Now, Jose, to you understand the chilling

  95. implications here, especially concerning the immanual prophecy. Yes, Now, did you

  96. know, ladies and gentlemen, did you know a has did this in the

  97. Lord's temple? He not only sent up that altar. Now, I know

  98. that everybody's been been kind of stuck in revelation where it says where Satan has

  99. his throat? Right, Jose, Yes, there's that one special church that

  100. Lord Jesus Christ come out and says where Satan's throne is. Nobody remembered this,

  101. though, did they? Aas took an Assyrian altar and set it up

  102. in the temple, rearranging the temple furniture. You know the Menorah, ladies

  103. and gentlemen, you know the table for the show bred he rearranged everything.

  104. When you know this, and you prophetically look at the Book of Daniel when

  105. it talks about when this one has the power to trample down the host of

  106. heaven. You read that, especially in the Septulogist, it is not very

  107. good at all, because literally, speaking literally, the Sebtulogen is saying that

  108. he is altering the celestial dynamics. That is to say, he's rearranging the

  109. solar system. Now when I say that, that's a real shock to the

  110. system. But this is exactly what a has was doing. Remember we know

  111. this for a fact, right, Jose, It's undeniable that God made it

  112. perfectly clear that not only the Tabernacle, but the temple itself was a model

  113. after what's in heaven. Amen. And when someone starts rearranging the furniture in

  114. the temple, that means they're rearranging things in the heavens. Correct, Correct?

  115. Why has nobody taught you this before? Ladies and gentlemen, Why did

  116. you not know what happened in Second Chronicles, chapter twenty nine. Why didn't

  117. you know? I mean, especially if you've been a member of Marianatha ministries

  118. for the past what thirteen years? You have no excuse to have never understood

  119. what I mean, really, especially the ratifications here well of time itself.

  120. When I say this in a classroom, I have literally had people just stocked

  121. when I pointed this out to them, because it's really not funny when you

  122. really take a look at it and look at it, because he prophetically comes

  123. out here and gives you a time frame. Let's go to Second Chronicles,

  124. chapter twenty eight. A has was twenty years old when he became keen,

  125. and he reigned sixteen years. Now, ladies and gentlemen, if you don't

  126. understand how prophetic that is, boy, you've got a lot to learn,

  127. because that specific word is also used in how the length of climate took for

  128. has Akia to clean up his daddy's mess. Now, look, I'm going

  129. to read it. You just have to believe it. How long did a

  130. has reigned? I just said sixteen years? Right? Ose? Yes?

  131. How does this take you? Okay? I want to go to the next

  132. chapter twenty nine, and I'm want to read view verses sixteen and seventeen.

  133. So the priest went into the inner part of the House of the Lord to

  134. cleanse it, and every unclean thing which they found in the temple of the

  135. Lord they brought out to the court of the House of the Lord. Then

  136. the Levites received it to carry it into the kid Droun valley. Now they

  137. began the consecration on the first day of the first month, and on the

  138. eighth day of the month they entered the porch of the Lord. Then they

  139. consecrated the house of the Lord in eight days and finished on the sixteenth day

  140. of the first month. So let me put that into you layman's terms.

  141. Out in the outer court they cleaned for out days, and then they actually

  142. went into the temple proper and cleaned for eight days. Now, didn't you

  143. hear what it said? And they finished on the sixteenth day? Did you

  144. catch it? Jose? How many years did he reign? Sixty years?

  145. And how many days did it take to clean up his mess? Sixteen days,

  146. one day for each year. If you've never heard that before, I

  147. would challenge you this, do you really know everything there is to know about

  148. the Assyrian false prophet? Because if you didn't know that before, right now

  149. I would say, no, you have a lot to learn did anybody tell

  150. you that he set up astronomical observatories in the temple? Why don't you know

  151. this? If you know everything there is to know about Bible prophecy, why

  152. would you assume that when this little horn is outly proclaimed to be able to

  153. exercise dominion over the host of heaven and trample them down, that that would

  154. have no significance as to what a Has was doing under the rule of the

  155. Assyrian. If you don't know these things, it begs the question if you've

  156. been studying Bible prophecy for twenty years, let's say, and you didn't know

  157. that just that one little bitty thing that has a kayah cleaned up sixteen years

  158. of apostasy in sixteen days. There's a lot of you studying here listening to

  159. my voice that are in a state of shock because you thought Matthew had already

  160. taught you everything there was to know about the Assyrian. So I think it

  161. would behoove us to take a read of Second Chronicles, chapter twenty eight with

  162. this backdrop in mind. This is very ominous. Why didn't anybody know that

  163. the Emmanuel prophecy was given to a Has? It's amazing how you know these

  164. bits of information, but they're in different compartments in your brain, right,

  165. Jose Absolutely, Matthew. But now that I've told everybody about the Emmanuel eloheen,

  166. that's right, ladies and gentlemen, if you've never heard me speak about

  167. Immanuel, well I'm going to have to reign on your party because in the

  168. mesoretic text. Oh yes, it occurs there in the plural form, it

  169. is im Manual, lady, Yes it is, Yes, it is,

  170. it's in the plural. I've shared this document publicly years ago, actually probably

  171. about a decade ago. But when you realize, don't you understand, Oh

  172. my goodness, Jose, you plainly write from that article that says that gives

  173. you the scriptural reference, that it says his sons, he sacrificed his sons.

  174. Correct, correct? Don't you realize who he was trying to sacrifice?

  175. Jose, Lord, have mercy? Wait up, people, A has was

  176. trying to exterminate em Manual. Did I rattle your cage? Ladies, gentlemen,

  177. because all these things I can prove. So I have literally had people

  178. in a state of shock in my classroom before. So Hosey's going to take

  179. a read of Second Chronicles, chapter twenty, because we obviously need to find

  180. out about a Has, because you need to understand that a Has was the

  181. assyrians Arlot. So it is very important that we get this inside information as

  182. to what's been what's going to be going on in our church. Yes,

  183. yes, it will, ladies and gentlemen. If you're a rapturist or a

  184. pretorist, I understand that your eschatology is extremely speak in emotion. I am

  185. not that way because I believe the Bible is God's holy word. I really

  186. don't care what it says. And it was my mother that taught me this.

  187. She taught me, Matthew, don't get emotional about what God says in

  188. the Bible. You just have to believe it, because that's the way it

  189. is. And she explained to me. You know how, your daddy sometimes

  190. will say you know, you'll ask him, well why, and he'll tell

  191. you because I said, so, this is God's holy word, and you

  192. do not question it when it says the sky's blue, it's blue. Now.

  193. Because I was raised that way. That's probably why I don't have emotions

  194. about doctrine and dogma, because quite frankly, if the Bible doesn't say it.

  195. It doesn't exist. For me. Everything I learned, and I mean

  196. everything I learned, the Bible told me first, so was take a listen

  197. to this, because now that you understand the Assyrian is going to go after

  198. and he is going to slaughter the innocence. The Bible plainly says that's what

  199. he's going to do. He's going to go after those children. And now

  200. you understand it. This is why he was sacrificing his sons. The problem

  201. is he couldn't get his hands on the right one because the right one was

  202. right underneath his nose. It was hazakayah. But ladies and gentlemen, he

  203. thought it was a future child and he was. He was sacrificing them to

  204. molch. He was trying to exterminate the the manual hose. You're going to

  205. be reading this out of the New American Standard Bible ninety five. I take

  206. it, Yes, I am Matthew. Let's take a read of it,

  207. all right. Let me just add just a couple of things. Sure we've

  208. when I've heard discussed in the past, abomination and desolation Antiochus epiphanies always comes

  209. up. And what he did but Antio, but I never hear A has

  210. brought up and what occurred in the temple that that at this time. Now

  211. when I when I read about Antiochus and I read about Nebuka Nzer, Matthew,

  212. they raided the temple. They took all the all the furniture, all

  213. the utensils, everything out of out of the the temple. That's not what

  214. a Has did. He left everything there, He just rearranged it. That's

  215. right with anyone that studied any kind of ancient temples, they always rearranged their

  216. furniture to reflect the heavens. Always, that was the whole purpose of it.

  217. It was supposed to be the house of their God, and that as

  218. it, and because of that, they reflected the heavens. So when you

  219. talk about moving furniture, this is not just to make it look more room.

  220. You're Matthew, there is a whole lot more going on there when you're

  221. rearranging the furniture in any temple. Yes, So I will read Second Chronicles

  222. twenty eight. AHAs was twenty years old when he became king, and he

  223. reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and he did not do right in the sight

  224. of the Lord as David and his father had done, but he walked in

  225. the ways of the kings of Israel. He also made molten images for the

  226. balls. Moreover, he burned incense in the valley of Ben Hinnom, and

  227. burned his sons in fire, according to the abominations of the nation whom the

  228. Lord had driven out. Before the sons of Israel, he sacrificed and burned

  229. incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.

  230. Wherefore the Lord his God delivered him into the hand of the King of

  231. Aram, and they defeated him and carried away from him a great number of

  232. captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the

  233. hand of the King of Israel, who inflicted him with heavy casualties. For

  234. Pecca, the son of Ramalayah slew and Judah one hundred and twenty thousand in

  235. one day, all valiant men, because they had forsaken the Lord God of

  236. their fathers. And Zikrie, A mighty man of Fraim, slew, Masaiah

  237. the King's son, and Azrakam, the ruler of the house, and el

  238. Kanah, the second to the king. The sons of Israel carried away captive

  239. of their brethren two hundred thousand women, sons and daughters. And they took

  240. also a great deal of spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.

  241. But a prophet of the Lord was there, whose name was Odad,

  242. and he went out to meet the army which came to Samaria, and said

  243. to them, behold, because the Lord, the God of your fathers,

  244. was angry with Judah, he has delivered them into your hand, and you

  245. have slain them in a rage which has even reached heaven. Now you are

  246. proposing to subjugate for yourselves the people of Judah and Jerusalem for male and female

  247. slaves. Surely do you not have transgressions of your own against the Lord your

  248. God. Now therefore, listen to me and return the captives whom you captured

  249. from your brothers, for the burning anger of the Lord is against you.

  250. Then some of the heads of the sons of Ephraim, as Aiah, the

  251. son of Johannan, Berakiah, the son of mashilimoth Jehesekiah the son of Shalum,

  252. and Amasa the son of Hadlai, arose against those who were coming from

  253. the battle and said to them, you must not bring the captives in here,

  254. for you are proposing to bring upon its guilt against the Lord, adding

  255. to our sins, and our guilt, for our guilt is great, so

  256. that it's burning angers against Israel. So the armed men left the captives and

  257. the spoil before the officers and all the assembly. Then the men who were

  258. designated by name arose took the captives, and they clothed all their naked ones

  259. from the spoil, and they gave them clothes and sandals, fed them and

  260. gave them drink, anointed them with oil, that all their feeble ones on

  261. donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to

  262. their brothers. Then they returned to Samaria. At that time King Ahaz sent

  263. to the kings of Assyria for help, for again the Edomites had come and

  264. attacked Judah and carried away captives. The Philistines also had invaded the cities of

  265. the Lowland and of the Negev of Judah, and had taken beshameesh Ajalon,

  266. Ghetaroth, and Soko with its villages, team Now with its villages, and

  267. Gimsoh with his villages and they settled there. For the Lord humbled Judah because

  268. of Ahaz, King of Israel, for he had brought about a lack of

  269. restraint in Judah, and was very unfaithful to the Lord. So Tiglath Pilneser,

  270. King of Assyria, came against him and afflicted him instead of strengthening him.

  271. Although Ahaz took a portion out of the house of the Lord and out

  272. of the palace of the King and of the Princes, and gave it to

  273. the King of Assyria, it did not help him. Now in the time

  274. of his distress, the same king Ahaz became yet more unfaithful to the Lord,

  275. for he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which had defeated him,

  276. and said, because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, I

  277. will sacrifice to them that they may help me. But they became the downfall

  278. of him and all Israel. Moreover, when AHAs gathered together the utensils of

  279. the House of God, he cut the utensils of the House of God in

  280. peaces, and he closed the doors and the house of the Lord, and

  281. made altars for himself in every corner of Jerusalem, in every city of Judah,

  282. he made high places to burn incense to other gods and provoke the Lord,

  283. the god of his fathers, to anger. Now the rest of his

  284. acts and all his ways, from first to last, behold, they are

  285. written in the book of the Kings of Judah and Israel. So AHAs slept

  286. with his fathers, and they buried him in the city in Jerusalem, for

  287. they did not bring him to the tombs of the Kings of Israel. And

  288. Hezekiah, his son, reigned in his place. So we could, of

  289. course read more from the Second Kings chapter sixteen. But I think it's enough.

  290. You know what, Jose, why don't you jump over to Second Kings

  291. chapter sixteen, Okay and read that too. I don't think it's go the

  292. hurt the Lord just pushed me. I think we should get it too,

  293. So fire away. In the seventeenth year of Pekah, the son of Ramalaiah,

  294. AHAs, the son of Jotham, king of Judah, became king.

  295. AHAs was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years

  296. in Jerusalem. And he did not do what was right in the sight of

  297. the Lord his God, as his father David had done but he walked in

  298. the way of the kings of Israel, and even made his son pass through

  299. the fire according to the abominations of the nations whom the Lord had driven out

  300. from before the sons of Israel, he sacrificed and burned incense on the high

  301. places and on the hills and under every green tree. Then Resin, King

  302. of Aram, and Pecca, son of Ramalayah, King of Israel, came

  303. up to Jerusalem to rage war, and they besieged AHAs, but could not

  304. overcome him. At that time, Resin, King of Aram, recovered Elith

  305. for Aram and cleared the Judeans out of Elath entirely, and the Aramians came

  306. to Elath and have lived there to this day. So Ah has sent messengers

  307. to Tiglath Polesser, King of Assyria, saying, I am your servant and

  308. your son, come up and deliver me from the hand of the King of

  309. Aram and from the hand of the King of Israel, who are rising up

  310. against me. Ah has took the silver and gold that was found in the

  311. house of the Lord, and then the treasuries of the king's house, and

  312. sent the president to the King of Assyria. So the King of Assyria listened

  313. to him, and the King of Assyria went up against Damascus and captured it

  314. and carried the people of it away into exile to cure to put resin to

  315. death. Now King AHAs went to Damascus to meet Tiglath Pelesser, King of

  316. Assyria, and saw the altar which was at Damascus. And King AHAs sent

  317. to Euriah the priest the pattern of the altar and its model, according to

  318. all its workmanship. So Euryah the Priest built an altar according to all that

  319. King AHAs had sent from Damascus. Thus Uriah the Priest made it before the

  320. coming of the King of Ahaz from da Mascus. When the king came from

  321. the Mascus, the king saw the altar. Then the king approached the altar

  322. and went up to it and burned his burnt offering and his meal offering,

  323. and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on

  324. the altar. The bronze altar which was before the lord, he brought from

  325. the front of the house, from between his altar and the house of the

  326. Lord, and he put it on the north side of his altar. Then

  327. King Ahaz commanded Uriah the Priest, saying, upon the great altar, burn

  328. the morning burnt offering, and the evening meal offering, and the king's burnt

  329. offering, and his meal offering, with the burnt offering of all the people

  330. of the land, and their meal offering and their drink offerings. And sprinkle

  331. on it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of

  332. the sacrifice. But the bronze altar shall be for me to inquire by so

  333. Uriah the Priest did according to all that King A has commanded. Then King

  334. A has cut off the borders of the stands and removed the laver from them.

  335. He also took down the sea from the bronze oxen which were under it,

  336. and put it on a pavement of stone. The covered way for the

  337. Sabbath which they had built in the house, and the outer entry of the

  338. king he removed from the house of the Lord because of the King of Assyria.

  339. Now the rest of the acts of AHAs which he did, are they

  340. not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah. So

  341. Ah has slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city

  342. of David and his son Hezekiah reigned in his place. Boy, that's a

  343. whole lot of data, isn't it. Yes, it is, Matthew.

  344. And let me ask you this. Why has nobody mentioned what this? Have

  345. you ever heard concerning the anti Christ? Have you ever heard anybody bring up

  346. this priest? No? Can I ask you a question? Why was a

  347. priest building things? It kind of makes you want to look into this prophetically,

  348. doesn't it, Jose. Matthew st tearing these names apart. But let's

  349. get back to the case. In Tewod Thessalonian's chapter two, when it talks

  350. about this apostasy, you're supposed to know. You're supposed to know that the

  351. one who did the great apostasy was a hass and and it took. And

  352. it blows me a while. People don't put two and two together, ladies

  353. and gentlemen. Hazekayah was an answer to the emmanual prophecy that he had already

  354. been born. This is why he lived to be the successor of Aightas.

  355. When this plainly stated that he was on multiple occasions, multiple verses, it

  356. said he was sacrificing his sons. Correct, Jose, Correct, so it

  357. blows me away when people just don't put two and two together, They just

  358. they just can't see it. And it I mean, most people do know

  359. the emmanual prophecy, right, Jose, Yes they should, Matthew, it's

  360. the start of the Gospels. I mean, it is the beginning. Look,

  361. I'm going to read from Isaiah chapter seven. Ladies and gentlemen, Well

  362. what I'm telling you is real. Now. It came about in the days

  363. of a Has, the son of Jotham, the son of z a Riath,

  364. the king of Judah, that resident the king of Arab and speak of

  365. the son of Romolil, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to wage

  366. war against it, but could not conquer it. When it was reported to

  367. the House of David, saying that Aramians hav encamped in Ephraem, his heart

  368. and the hearts of the people shook as the trees of the forest shake with

  369. the wind. Then the Lord's Isaiah, you and your son Jared, come

  370. to on the highway to the foolish film and see him. Take care,

  371. be calm, have no fear, do not fade heart, because he's two

  372. dubs of smoldering fire brands on account of the fierce anger of Resin of Aaron

  373. and the son of Ramala. Because Aaron with em and the sons of Ramala

  374. has to planned evil against you, saying, let us go up against Judah

  375. and tear at it, and make for ourselves a breash in its walls,

  376. and set up the son of Tabil as king in the midst of it.

  377. Thus says the Lord God, it shall not stand, nor shall it come

  378. to pass. For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of

  379. Damaska is Resin. Now within another sixty five years, Efrim will be shattered,

  380. so that it is no longer a people. And the head of Ephraim

  381. is Samaria, and that of Samari is the son of Ramala. If you

  382. do not believe, you surely shall not last. Then the Lord spoke again

  383. to Aas, saying, ask us, son for yourself from the Lord your

  384. God, make it as deep as show or as high as heaven. But

  385. he has said, I will not ask, nor will I test the Lord.

  386. Then he said, listen, now, o house of David, is

  387. it too slight a thing for you to try to patience of men, that

  388. you will try the patience of my God as well? Therefore, the Lord

  389. himself will give you a sign. Be Hold, a virgin will be with

  390. child and Barras's son, and will call his name Immanuel before he eats kurage

  391. and honey, and the time he knows enough to refuse evil and choose good.

  392. For before the boy will know enough to refuse evil and choose good.

  393. The land who's two kings you dread, will be forsaken. But you know

  394. what really happens, don't you? Because Jose read it to you. He

  395. rejected the word of the Lord. Instead, he decided to play the harld

  396. with the Assyrian. And now you understand why he was sacrificing his children.

  397. I mean, whose Once you put two and two together, this is a

  398. shock to the psyche, isn't it? It is, Matthew, especially when

  399. you understand what the emmanual prophecy was talking about. Who who? Who it

  400. was actually talking about. A has new the worth of those children being born,

  401. and so he willingly sacrificed, sacrifice them on the assyrians altar. Right,

  402. I mean, let'sten. You have to understand what's at play here,

  403. ladies and gentlemen. I know this is for hard hard for you to process.

  404. It's overwhelming. It was for when it was taught to me. Look,

  405. Isaiah himself, Yes, the prophet Isaiah. He went to a house

  406. and the Lord God himself through Isaiah, said that he was going to deliver

  407. a has from Israel and Aaron, and he promised him a son to prove

  408. it. You need to wrap your mind around this. A has instead started

  409. sacrificing the children that was born to him, to the God of Assyria.

  410. Have you ever heard a worse thing concerning eschatology than what just came out of

  411. my mouth? Jose No, Matthew, because it matches up exactly what God

  412. prophesies. It's once around the ride. So now we understand the gravity of

  413. him not worshiping the God of his father's Amen. Amen, Now you're able

  414. to calculate that. You're able to understand, Oh, God, have mercy.

  415. This is why he worships the beast from the Abyss. He is sacrificing

  416. his own children through the beast from the Abyss. Now, look, everybody's

  417. heard me say this before. I have always felt in my gut that the

  418. assiring false prophet is related to the two witnesses. Everybody's heard me say that.

  419. Will take note us me because will Oh my goodness, ladies and gentlemen,

  420. you have to believe God's word? Does it not say? The little

  421. horn uproots so many horns? Three? Correct? How many beasts are stirred

  422. up? Ladies and gentlemen. From Daniel chapter seven four, the assiring false

  423. prophets kingdom. It conquers the other three because in the end the whole planet

  424. will be reduced to four different kingdoms. These other three kingdoms are harassing him,

  425. and he approaches the beast from the Abyss to save him. I mean,

  426. I know it's hard to digest, and I'm sorry, but everything I've

  427. told you is true. The immanual prophecy was given to aid Has, so

  428. he immediately rejects God and goes to the Assyrian and starts sacrificing his children upon

  429. an Assyrian althar to the Assyrian God in an attempt to exterminate a Manuel.

  430. Now, if you need a hint, you ain't got a clue. If

  431. you just learned more in the past forty mines than you have in the past

  432. twenty years, you've got a lot to catching up to do, because one

  433. thing is for sure. Second, Thessalonians Chapter two was very clear, I

  434. don't care when you think you're going to get raptured. You can take this

  435. to the bank. The Bible, God's Holy Word says you are most definitely

  436. going to see Him. Yes you are, Yes you are, and you're

  437. most certainly going to see this apostasy happen. I read it to you once.

  438. Did you not believe it? You have to realize that, ladies and

  439. gentlemen, reading the Bibles like reading a dictionary. Hose, When you read

  440. the dictionary, it's kind of strange because it's not like reading a novel,

  441. right, right, It's not like reading the newspaper because even the newspaper you

  442. take it with a grain of salt. But when you open a dictionary,

  443. you instinctively, naturally ingrain it into your brain as absolute fact. Right,

  444. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that's how you need to be reading the Bible,

  445. God's Holy Word, because if you've got as much faith in it as

  446. you do the newspaper, you don't have to worry about Bud Shepherd confusing you.

  447. You don't believe it, so you're you're never going to understand what it

  448. says. But what I'm telling you is true. It's let me read one

  449. more time. This says you were going to be here for the event.

  450. I don't care when you think you're going to be raptured. What I'm getting

  451. ready to read it is true and you need to listen to it. You

  452. need to hear it with ears that can hear. You need to read it

  453. with guys that can read. You need to do that like it's a dictionary.

  454. Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come

  455. what the day of the Lord, It will not come unless the apostasy comes

  456. first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

  457. who opposes and exalts himself above every so called God or object of worship,

  458. so that he takes his seat and the temple of God, displaying himself as

  459. being God. And yet there's rapturists out there teaching that the word apostasy means

  460. the rapture. When if you know where this even came from with King ab

  461. Has, Oh my goodness, you realize the breadth and the depth of the

  462. deception. Who has deceived you? Because God has given you so much information

  463. about what this apostasy is He's talking about. It's crazy, especially with hindsight

  464. being twenty twenty, we know who the real Emmanuel was. Who's the real

  465. Emmanuel? Jose Well, and Matthew, the Jesus fulfills that prophecy. That's

  466. right, it's the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Now you put two and

  467. two and two together. And if you didn't know these things, if look

  468. the simplest things about these have I really haven't talked about the Hebrew or the

  469. Greek yet, right, Jose No, we haven't, Matthew, ladies and

  470. gentlemen, if you didn't see the simple thing that it took. It took

  471. one day for each year that he reigned to clean the temple, don't you

  472. understand what he's talking about. He's talking about what year in the heavens.

  473. He's talking about solar system mechanics. God is trying to point out to you

  474. how it is that this one, when he comes, can trample down the

  475. host of heaven and exercise dominion over them. He's not like anything else that's

  476. ever been or come. And the Book of Revelation does not call him anti

  477. Christ. I am not lying. The word Antichrist is not in the Book

  478. of Revelation, is it, Jose No, it is that Matthew. So

  479. once you realize that this is set up prophetically, now you understand the prophetic

  480. ramifications of what the rule of a has was. And now you understand that

  481. what the rule of Hazekiah represents in Bible prophecy. Now, if you read

  482. these two things, it'll blow your mind. It should get you very excited

  483. to sit there and fidget. Matthew hasn't even talked about the reign of Hezekiah.

  484. I wonder what's in there, ladies and gentlemen. I'm prepared to tell

  485. you this. Everything's in there you probably ever wanted to know, especially concerning

  486. timing. But before now you just rejected God's work. You just rejected it.

  487. I didn't I did not write Isaiah chapter seven. No, I didn't.

  488. It was always there. I didn't write Second Chronicles chapter twenty eight.

  489. No, I didn't. Second King's Chapter sixteen's been there the whole time.

  490. Why do you think it's chapter sixteen? I mean, so, let me

  491. get strack. You don't even believe in biblical mechanics. You don't even believe

  492. that the chapters are in the war they're supposed to be. Do you not

  493. have the wherewithal to understand that the Bible, God's Holy Word has sixty six

  494. books in it, and Isaiah has sixty six chapters in it, and you,

  495. like what, think that's random or something? Because this whole time,

  496. because this whole time, your clergy has not been teaching you that it's God's

  497. holy Words. So you weren't reading it like a dictionary or an encyclopedia.

  498. You were just reading it like a I don't know what, but when I

  499. read it, I can't explain it. I guess and I think, and

  500. I praise the Lord my God that my mom and dad had our Bible on

  501. the electron in the living room. It was literally up on a pedestal my

  502. whole life. I thank God that they taught me that this is where it

  503. begins, and by God, this is where it ends. Matthew. Anything

  504. you want to know right there, God is up in your face. He

  505. will tell you exactly what he intends to do because you can't stop him.

  506. If he says do this, you better do that thing, Matthew, because

  507. your life depends on it. And I cannot thank them enough. I mean,

  508. maybe it was because my dad would take off his belt if he caught

  509. me with something on top of the Bible. Do you think I'm kidding him?

  510. Not? Because I carried my Bible left what else mattered? So anyway,

  511. you know, a little boy carries the Bible in his arm arms,

  512. just like you carry school books. Well, when you get home and you

  513. come in the front door and the first thing you come up to is the

  514. table, and you naturally just bring your arm ount and flap them down.

  515. Guess what if your math book is on top of the Bible, you getting

  516. striped for it, and my dad would let you know, by God you

  517. won't do it again. That's the Bible, God's holy Word. Nothing goes

  518. on top of it. So you had to realize that your Bible had to

  519. be the one touching your forearm. Maybe that's why no one can take it

  520. from me. But you need to get this through your thick skulls. There

  521. is nothing of a more valuable resource than the Bible. Because there is coming

  522. a time he will most certainly supernaturally take it from you. Jose your thoughts,

  523. well, Matthew, it only makes sense that this is where the Emmanuel

  524. prophecy takes us. This is an abomination that causes desolation. What a has

  525. was doing in the Lord's temple, and when we understand when the emmanual prophecy

  526. occurs next, when the Lord himself comes and takes Emmanuel with him up to

  527. heaven. He does that because the Assyrian is going after him, and the

  528. Assyrian and whatever core hors are with him, whatever a has is playing the

  529. harlet with him, whatever your Rayah is rearranging with him. That's who comes

  530. after those one hundred and forty four thousand that are described in the Revelation chapter

  531. fourteen. So of course it has to all tie in because God word makes

  532. sense, God word is true, and God's word word is faithful, and

  533. there's just no other way to put it. Matthew. There's of course,

  534. of course this has to line up. Of course, all these this prophecy

  535. has to line up with the first time the Assyrian did this in the Lord's

  536. temple. So, boy, that's just more data to pack in, Matthew,

  537. more data to sift through, and more confirmation of what we've been saying

  538. all along. Yes, you know, I know I probably shook some people's

  539. well, I probably shook their foundations, didn't I He did me Matthew,

  540. Man, you know, man, how much should I say I always hate

  541. that when I don't know how much. I don't know how much to say.

  542. I'm hesitant to you know, because there's such a thing as information overload,

  543. right, Yes, there is. I mean there is absolutely such a

  544. thing as information overload. Look, if you can look at the Hebrew,

  545. I want you to write these two verses down. They're in Exodus chapter twenty

  546. verse nineteen. I don't need you to tell me what the strong says.

  547. I'm sitting here looking at it. In Hebrew. It says Immanu will Elohim

  548. in Exodus chapter twenty verse nineteen and Psalms fifty four to one. Yes it

  549. does, it says the manual L. But the L is plural. It's

  550. Emmanuel elhim. I don't need you to tell me what the strong says.

  551. I'm literally looking at the mesobretic text right now with my own eyes. Look,

  552. I can tell you things you probably have trouble comprehending, like alphanumerically this

  553. phrase, there's two hundred and fifty two in the royal count, it's eight

  554. hundred and twelve. I can't tell you more about this than than you can.

  555. I could just overwhelm you with so much information. And that's not a

  556. God. Everything is only beautiful in its time, and you need to understand

  557. that about the immanual prophecy and has a KaiA. Everything is only beautiful in

  558. its time. And that's why that God hater would not seem to give a

  559. manual who is Assyrian Praise God, Jose, take us out of here in

  560. prayer, Police, your heavenly Father, we thank you and give you praise

  561. continuously. Lord. Tonight, we pray for those that are hungry, for

  562. those that are thirsty, for those that are in need. Lord, we

  563. know the only way that we are going to understand your word and the only

  564. way we are going to know what is to come, is if we are

  565. led by your holy Spirit to look out for those less fortunate and through that

  566. spread your love and the love of your son. So Lord, I asked

  567. that you provide for those in need, and that you push us and help

  568. us to be your hand in that work. And again, Lord, I

  569. pray for the lost, that you may gather them while there is still time.

  570. And I ask all this in the name of your son, our Lord

  571. and Savior is Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen, and Amen Jose, Ladies

  572. and gentlemen, Please please do me a favor and get on your hands and

  573. knees tonight before you go to bed, and just ask the Lord to send

  574. the Holy Spirit to move in the people who are called by his name.

  575. Ask him to stir up the children of the problem us because it's the only

  576. hope we have until next time. God bless, God speed. Thank you
