011 Remove the Immoral

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 Redemption Draweth

Nigh. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program. We're your

host Jose and Matthew. Tonight we're doing something that came across Jose's desk again,

so I will just pass it off to him for introductions into the episode.

Jose, Hey, Matthew, so again, this is just something that

I've come across in my in my daily readings. I have a schedule that

I followed, I set up for myself to to read through the Bible,

and you know, it's a lot of the stuff, well most of the

stuff I would tell all the stuff I read before. Matthew, this is

these are these are these chapters are not unfamiliar to me. I've read through

them. But there's always always something that hits you when when you go go

through it again. Matthew, that's something that God puts a little highlighter on.

And so when he does that to my spirit, when something says,

hey remember this, I take a little note, you know, and I

and I keep reading, you know, and and eventually I'll get get back

around to to pulling up those set of verses that caught my eye and doing

a little bit more study, a little bit more in depth, looking into

those things that God highlighted for me. And this is one of those.

This is from First Corinthians, chapter five. And the reason why it's stood

out to me at least that that I remember when I was reading it,

it was because i've i've I grew up. I grew up a Catholic,

and Catholics are more they're not as as shut out of the world as a

lot of other Christian denominations, Matthew. So you know, we don't disassociate

from people just because they're not Catholic. We don't uh shun people, I

guess would be would be the word, right, But I I have been

familiar with a lot of other denominations that are that way, Matthew. And

and they'll say, if you're not a part of this denomination, you know,

we'll be friendly, but but we're not not coming over to your house.

You know, we're not gonna we're not gonna associate. We're not going

to develop any kind of relationship because you're you're worldly in their eyes, right,

And I've I've you know, I understood their perspective. I understood where

they're coming from. I thought it was it felt it felt odd to me,

It felt weird, it didn't feel right. But I had no biblical

basis to refute them. And so when I read these verses, that's the

first thing that struck me, is is that, oh, that's not how

we're supposed to be. We're supposed to interact with the world. We're supposed

to be that salt on the earth, Matthew. We're supposed to shed light

in darkness, and we can't do that if we're just all, you know,

closed off from everybody that doesn't believe what we believe. That you know,

there there's no way you can go out in the world and and and

show people who Christ is that don't know him, if if you're just kind

of just congregating with your with your denomination. So when I read these verses,

it clicked for me, and I was like, Okay, this makes

sense. This is how we're supposed to operate. This is the way that

we're supposed to interact with the world. Now, yes, if if I

am with somebody that's worldly, Matthew, and whatever they're doing is going to

cause me to stumble, then yes, I need to separate myself. That

makes sense if you're with somebody and they're just doing something horrible and you've tried

to correct them, and you know they they they don't accept that correction.

Okay, Now, now you can separate yourself from that from that individual.

But we're talking about a day to day basis, when you're going about your

work, going about your social life, your business, and you interact with

the world, how you're supposed to be and how you're supposed to represent Christ.

And these set of verses tell us who we're really supposed to separate ourselves

from, who we're really supposed to be watching out for. And I think

somehow along the way, these set of verses kind of got twisted around Matthew

and made it in us against them mentality with the world when it's and it's

inward that we should be looking and that we should be cautious of, and

that we should be wary of. You know, I've often grappled with this

text of First Corindians chapter five, and I always wish there was a technical

term for them, because once you get down to the nitty gritty, you

know, what you said is absolutely on the case. When you're dealing with

Catholics. They don't have a problem dealing with Protestants, not at all.

I mean they really don't. No, no, no, it's the Prostants

that are off the hook, holding a grudge against Catholics or the Orthodox or

YadA YadA, YadA YadA, and it's just absolutely to witness it. But

here all those ideas are nipped in the butt. This is absolutely beyond clergy.

And you and I've been talking about that for a few weeks now.

The only problem with christ Church is the clergy. That's it. You know.

I've interacted well well just about everybody, and in every stretch of every

instance where I was in, I acted like a Christian and I worked out

just fine. It reminds me of a good friend of mine, Karen,

that I remodeled her house for her. I did an addition on her house.

She's a staunch Catholic, staunch Catholic, and she loves me to death

and she just marveled after me. And when our friendship really got to solidifize

when she got to be comfortable enough around me to start asking me questions,

and uh, that's where she wanted to start. You know, why why

did Protestants hate us? And through the course of events, you know,

let me put it to you this way, she finally got to be so

comfortable with me that that you know, she she asked me one time about

why Protestants are so upset that about Mary? And before I answered, I

said, you know what, Karen, why don't you tell me what you

think? And she goes, well, I think they're mad because the Bible

doesn't say that Mary died. Now I didn't laugh, of course, out

of respect, But to me, what was I supposed to say, jose

Just does the Bible say Mary died? Nope, does not talk about her

death? No, it does not. Now it's clergy that's coming there and

filled all those blanks, right, right, But if we're going to talk

book, chapter and verse, this Protestants coming up zeros, there's no such

place. The Bible does not say that Mary died. But that's beside the

point. I know, Karen, And if we were to go into a

court of law, I would go to bat for her against any of your

Protestant clergy, and I mean any of them, and you can take this

to the bank. Karen's name is written in the language Book of Life.

Oh yes it is. And that's what this text is really talking about.

It's talking about the Christians interacting with two different types of individuals. The people

that are not saved, which are immoral, they're you know, they practice

id alltree, they're thieves. And then the other group jose which man I

wish I had a technical term for this group, because they do have names.

I mean, they prophetically have names in scripture like the goats, right

right. Christ also refer to them as the tears. Amen. Amen,

these are the ones that are in our field. They're literally planted right beside

us. But they're not wheat. They're tears. These are the ones that

are literally in our pasture right beside us, grazing with us. When they

are not cheap. They are goats. But when it comes to a theological

technical term for this group, they just don't have a name for some reason.

And it's just always irritated me. And when I say always, I

mean from oh, early teens, from adolescents. Would let's just say that

adolescence. And I don't know how many times did I ask my Sunday school

teachers, my youth group leaders, my pastor, what's their name? What

do you call it? And of course, historically there's only one name for

them. They're called heretics. Ladies and gentlemen, they're called heretics. Now,

when I say that publicly and I'm standing up in front of people,

I just have to set there and pulse for a minute to see who's going

to count me. They're heretics. The problem is is that the clergy that

today did not expel heretics. Jose, what are these verses here say we're

supposed to do? So, you're supposed to not associate with one of these

brothers? Says that there's even in this whole chapter, Matthew. It also

discusses delivering such a one over to Satan for destruction of the flesh. Well,

yeah, I mean verse twelve and verse thirteen. I'll read it straight

here. For what do I have to do with judging outsiders? It's not

those inside the church, and where to judge, God judges those outside.

Purge the evil person from among you, And once again we're back at the

desk of the bad shepherds. They are not removing the heretics from among us.

You are to judge everybody who calls themselves a Christian. Jose, Do

you call yourself a christ Yes? I do, Matthew. I don't give

a flying rip what church you go to. I really don't care. I

assure you I have very good friends of just about every denomination there is.

I don't care. If you call yourself a Christian and you don't act like

it. You're immortal. You are to be excommunicated. Yours could be kicked

out from among us. You are to be perched. That's what the Bible,

God's Holy Word says. So once again, this is just driving home

this message that we've been having to address. The only problem with christ Church,

ladies and gentlemen, it is the clergy. That's the only problem.

That's the only problem. The Bible is very clear that, of course you're

not going to excommunicate someone who's not saved, right, Jose. Right,

So if somebody is coming to your church and they're a visitor, and now

they've been going there for six months, does that make them a Christian?

Hose, just because they've been going to your church for six months. No,

Matthew, No, no, it's not. Christianity is experiential. It

requires an experience to be a Christian. So we're not talking about people who's

not been saved yet. That's visiting the church. I don't care if they've

been going there for ten years. If they have not accepted Christ, his

sacrifice and his resurrection, then they're just outsiders among you. However, if

these people are Christians, they are, you know, technically or physically members

of your church. They're on the roster, they've been baptized and whatever else

thing you think that needs to be done. And they're immoral, they are

to be abjective from you. That's why, back when I was a child,

people were very hesitant to become a member of my church. And I

remember asking one of them why. Now take note, I was being very

well, I was out of line because of thirteen or fourteen year old boy.

Has no business asking somebody coming to church why they haven't become a membery

yet. But their answer shocked me. Well, you know, if we

do and we doing things, then you can kick us out. But right

now you can't kick us out. They particularly didn't like my response and they

shouldn't have because I was way out of line for being I don't know,

thirteen or fourteen years old, so I was We need to read over these

verses that you gave, So don't we just read these verses from first Corintheans,

Chapter five. Go ahead and read them out of whatever version you got.

But it's verses nine through thirteen. Correct, correct the last stanza.

So I've got the NASB nineteen ninety five open, so I'll go ahead and

read from that one. I wrote you in my letter not to associate with

immoral people. I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this

world, or with the covetouts and swindlers, or with idolators, for then

you would have to go out of the world. But actually I wrote to

you not to associate with any so called brother if he is an immoral person

or covetous, or an idolator, or a reviler, or a drunkard or

a swindler, not even to eat with such a one. For what have

I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within

the church, but those who are outside. God remove the wicked man from

among yourselves. That's pretty straightforward and to the point, isn't it? Yes,

it is. And just riddle me this. Did you look at this

word in the Greek in verse eleven? No, I have not looked at

the Greek mak here here let me let me clarify. But actually I wrote

you not to associate with any so called brother. Did you take a look

at this phraseology in Greek? No I did not, Matthew, Really,

that's that's a shame. That's uh g forty eight seventy four, ladies,

gentlemen. It means mixed up. It means well, I'm sure that a

lot of people know about the mingled seed. That's what this Greek word is.

It's someone that is from outside the church that has mingled themselves in with

the body of Christ. They're like a virus. Does everybody know what a

virus is? Because that's exactly what's being referred to here. They were never

in the body of Christ, and they mingled themselves into the body of Christ.

And that's a very bad thing. Now, this is the same phraseology

used in Second Thest. Loneians, chapter three, verse fourteen. I'll read

it from the New American Standard Bible. If anyone does not obey our instruction

in this letter, take special note of that person. There's that word in

Greek, and do not associate with him, so that he will be put

to shame. Ladies and gentlemen, God is being very clear that this person

is not a Christian if they're acting immoral, if they're swindlers, I mean,

hose, Let's let's talk about that word here. In verse ten,

it says swindlers. What's what's your what's your take on that? It's in

a swindler like somebody that tries to, you know, take take somebody else's

money, trick somebody else out of their money, try to uh you know,

get their hands on somebody else's property. Well, yes, in that

sense, because well this word in Greek har packs. It comes from that

special word where people says the Greek word for rapture harpozzo. Uh oh yeah,

yeah, that's the root word for hardbacks. Ye. Yes, it

means swindler. It means to snatch things away from people that don't belong to

them. That's why in the Greek language you can you can also use ravenous

is a good word for this, or rapacious. Either one will do so

ladies and gentlemen, he's making himself very clear, which at the very few

simple words in the Greek in English, these things can you know, be

being hotly debated. And I could rag, you know, rather easily did

this with with today just now, because he didn't looked at the Greek when

I had, so I caught him off guard. So a bad shepherd would

immediately just invent things. I mean, ladies and gentlemen one of the things

that's been bothering me of late, and used to I would laugh, but

now it's really upsetting me. If you hear a preacher or a teacher going

into English word studies, go somewhere else. Let me say that again.

If you hear somebody giving word studies on English words, go somewhere else.

I mean, I'm not going to set here and discuss the etymology of the

word swindlers with Jose. That's a complete, absolute waste of your time.

Jose wouldn't do any good for us to talk about the word the English word

swindlers. No, no, Jose. So everybody needs to know that that's

what these bad shepherds like to do. They like to make you think that

they're students of the Bible, God's Holy Word by doing English word studies.

That's pathetic. That's a pathetic joke, and now here lately I used to

laugh about it, but now it's upsetting me because I know they're intentionally deceiving

the flock. They're intentionally doing exactly what Ezekiel thirty seven says they'll do.

So that's very bothersome and very troublesome. So, hose, what other verses

did you look at in this context? Well, so there's a direct quote

to the Old Testament there in the last verse, remove the wicked from among

yourselves the wicked man, and what. Well, I'll read those But right

now, just off the verses we read, my mind is already going one

direction, you know, my mind is already starting to try to place these

verses prophetically. So that's kind of where my mind is going right now,

Matthew. So I'm going to read from a couple from a couple of times

that this phraseology is used in the Old Testament. And the two that I've

picked are in Deuteronomy. So the first one is in Deuteronomy thirteen. And

I'll go ahead and read the first five verses for us. If a prophet

or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a

wonder, And the sign or the wonder comes true concerning which he spoke to

you, saying, let us go after other gods whom you have not known,

and let us serve them. You shall not listen to the words of

that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the Lord your God is testing

you to find out if you love the Lord your God with all your heart

and with all your soul. You shall follow the Lord your God and fear

him, and you shall keep his commandments, listen to his voice, serve

him, and cling to him. But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams

shall be put to death because he has counseled rebellion against the Lord your God,

who brought you from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house

of slavery, to seduce you from the way in which the Lord your God

commanded you to walk, so you shall purge the evil from among you.

Well that's awful, Stickley, because well, we just read this the other

day, didn't we. Yes, So it's it's not by happenstance that we're

here again, would you agree, No, it's not. Ladies and gentlemen,

we hammered home, Matthew, You're right about that, and really they're

talking about the same thing here. Okay. Why would these immoral people calling

themselves Christians at our churches? Why would they be trying to swindle us?

Why would they Why would there be covetous people coming into our sanctuaries. Ladies

and gentlemen, they're not getting paid to come to church, are they,

Jose? So why would a covenist person come to church? Uh? Oh?

Now another more, well, a deeper thing comes into play here,

because the Lord your God just told you right now that he would use such

a one to test you, right, Jose. Right, we just come

out of my mouth. Should bother everybody? Now? Whoe to whom the

stumbling block comes, right, Hose? Amen, Now we understand why,

because if God has sent these people among you and you've not purged the evil

from among you. Ose, I'm not going to say it. I'm not

going to come out and say it, but the implications of that is not

good. Right, No, it's not. Because he's repeatedly told you,

under any circumstance, these immoral people that call themselves to Christians must be ejected.

Right, Yes, what's the next set of verses You're in into in

Deuteronomy. So Deuteronomy seventeen is the next set of verses, and I'll read

starting from verse two through verse seven. If there is found in your midst,

in any of your towns, which the Lord your God has giving you,

a man or a woman who does what is evil in the sight of

the Lord your God, by transgressing his covenant and is God, and served

other gods and worshiped them, or the sun or the moon, or any

of the heavenly host, which I have not commanded. And if it is

told you and you have heard of it, then you shall inquire thoroughly.

Behold, if it is true and the thing certain, that this detestable thing

has been done in Israel, then you shall bring out that man or that

woman who has done this evil deed to your gates. That is the man

or the woman, and you shall stone them to death on the evidence of

two witnesses or three witnesses. He who is to die shall be put to

death. He shall not be put to death on the evidence of one witness.

The hand of the witnesses shall be first against him to put him to

death, and afterward the hand of all the people, so you shall purge

the evil from your midst. Okay, wow, there's just no debating here,

is there, no, Matthew? Now, obviously we don't kill people

in today's church, right, correct. We expel the immoral from among us.

That's what we do. And ladies and gentlemen, if you do that,

if the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ expels you, you're damned already.

I'm sorry, did I hurt your feelings about you know, your mom

or your grandma or your sister. I don't care. If you're ejected from

the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, You're doomed. Don't worry about looking

over your shoulder. You're dead already. I mean here, as over the

past year, we have this great, big split with the United Methodist Church

because the United Methodist Church clergy are heretics. Now, this came about in

nineteen oh four. Actually it was an Ikno. Four that the resolution was

passed that the United Methodist Church would no longer check their doctrine at the theological

level. We just came out of my mouth, probably shocks people. How

do you know that, Matthew. Oh, this ain't my first rodeo.

I know my history. Now you have literal you have a homosexual people in

the role of bishops and telling the local churches that Jesus Christ is not the

only way to heaven. Server the past year they split into the Global Methodist

Church, and as of right now, the last numbers that I looked at,

twenty five percent of the United Methodist Church fled the heretics. Now what

blows your way is that when you look into this, it's on a bishop

by bishop instance. So if your bishop is a transgender person and they don't

want your church to secede and join the Global Methodist Church, they won't let

you. So this is real life. And look it up. It's all

over the news, ladies, gentlemen, look up United Methodist Church split.

It's all over the headlines because the United Methodist Church is heretics. Do you

know what a heretic is? I mean, Hose, you know what a

heretic is? Right? Yes, it doesn't have a rocket scientist degree to

figure out what an immoral person is, does it, Jose? No,

it doesn't, Matthew, it does not take a rocket scientist degree. You

must purge the evil from from among you because if not, and it is

God that has sent this person in to test you, I don't know.

I guess you need to get acquainted with the judgment that's coming to you.

Now. God's pretty clear about what happens on his day, right Jose,

Yes he is, Matthew, He's pretty forthright and tells you now, after

that day, he's going to remove the rebellious from among us, right,

yes, But right now, ladies and gentlemen, you need to flee these

heretics, especially if they're heretic clergy. I mean, I'm sorry to bring

on your party. You better go find a god fearing, Bible believing,

gospel preaching church. And I don't care what name is on the sign out

front, I really don't care. I mean, let's just talk about the

Catholic Church, Okay, So, Hose, there's been plenty of priests that

have been convicted, right, Yes, it is well known most of the

priests don't do those things, right, right. I mean, I don't

even know if you could count the amount of Catholic churches across this planet.

And you know, it all depends on the society now here. All of

our theological seminaries were destroyed in the sixties. Once again, because I know

my hair, because I know my history. This is when the heretic theologians

came into power. I don't think I know, I know, I know.

I can give you names and dates. So with that in mind,

you need to start going up to these churches. Schedule a meeting with the

pastor or whoever it else it is pastor of priests, and you need to

drill them into the corner. Ask them directly, you know, ask well,

first all the team commandments. Do you believe a person can go to

heaven if you're a liar? Because if he says yes, you need to

get up and walk out of his office and go to a different church.

Because guess what he's lying to you, right, hose correct, he's lying

to you. He just told you you can lie and go to heaven.

The rubbers about ready to hit the road, ladies and gentlemen, and you

you need to know what the Bible, God's Holy Words says about. Listen,

listen, hearken to my voice, purge the evil from among you.

Jose Well Matthew, with these verses from Deuteronomy. The phraseology that's used in

here, it's drawing me back to revelation you have. It's talking about false

prophets, it's talking about words being the host of heaven. This is all

stuff that we see, you know, the Beast from the Sea and the

Beast from the Earth doing. And we know we're gonna have the heavenly host

on this earth once God kicks this thing off on that sixth seal, he's

gonna kick those bad angels out of Heaven and he's gonna replace them, and

so we're gonna have to deal with them here on earth. But when I

see when I see Deuteronomy talking about this false prophet, Matthew, it's just

making me contemplate if the false prophet, that last one we have to dance

with, if he does come from within the body of the church, simply

because well, he's a prophet and we're told what these false prophets are doing

here, Matthew. And there's other verses that discussed false prophets and what they

do to the sheep. So that's kind of where my brain is going now,

along with other with other End Times verses that we come across. Right

when when we read in the last few weeks where Jesus discusses that your own

brother is going to turn against you. Okay, And First Corinthians chapter five

tells us what kind of brother God Jesus is talking about that it's going to

be. You know, you're going to be handed over by other Christians,

Matthew, It's not going to be the worldly, immoral people that hand you

over. So so this is where kind of where my thinking is going,

right, this is kind of where my studying is going. And one of

the places that I came across. One of the verses I came across was

Psalm fifty five, and I want to read it. It's going to be

I won't read the whole chapter, but I'm going to read the first fifteen

verses for us, just to get an idea of of why I'm leaning in

this direction. Matthew, Okay. Psalm fifty five from the choir director on

stringed instruments, a mascule of David, give ear to my prayer, Oh

God, and do not hide yourself from my supplication. Give heed to me

and answering me and answer me. I am reastless in my complaint, and

I'm surely distracted because of the voice of the enemy, because of the pressure

of the wicked. For they bring down trouble upon me, and in anger

they bear a grudge against me. My heart is in anguish within me,

and the terrors of death have fallen upon me. Fear and trembling come upon

me, and horror has overwhelmed me. I said, oh, that I

had wings like a dove, I would fly away and be at rest.

Behold, I would wander away, I would lodge in the wilderness. Say

law, I would hasten to my place of refuge from the stormy wind and

tempest. Confuse, Oh Lord, divide their tongues. For I've seen violence

and strife in the city day and night. They go around her upon her

walls, and iniquity and mischief are in her midst. Destruction is in her

midst oppression and deceit. Do not depart from her streets. For it is

not an enemy who reproaches me, then I could bear it. Nor is

it one who hates me, who has exalted himself against me, then I

could hide myself from him. But it is you, a man, my

equal, my companion, and my familiar friend. We who had sweet fellowship

together walked in the House of God in the throng. That death come deceitfully

upon them. Let them go down alive to shield, for evil is in

their dwelling, in their midst. I only have this to say, Jose,

And the first time you and I have talked about this, and you've

heard me talk about this before. This is one of the primary set of

verses here, Verses twelve through fifteen, as to why I firmly believe they're

more than just associates with the two witnesses. Correct, this is really coming

out. And look, this can only be in reference to the false prophet.

Let death come deceitfully upon them, Let them go down and live into

shiol. I have long stated this, ladies and gentlemen, I've long stated

this. The Great Day of the Lord kills the false prophet, and the

beast from the Abyss resurrects him. Now he doesn't come out whole. We

know the scriptures say that his right eye is struck and his right arm is

struck. Jose, correct, So he doesn't come out whole, but he

does come out. That's why I firmly believe that, Jose. I firmly

believe that there's actually three prophets. Two we call the two witnesses. The

third one is the false prophet. And I don't see any way around.

I mean, you did hear the prophecy at play here, right, Hey,

literally just told you that, Yeah, you're gonna have to flee to

the wilderness. First, you didn't say that, right? Yes? Okay,

So this is all the time in question. I mean literally, Jose,

just read Revelation chapter twelve. Is what he did. I'm sorry,

Hose, you know, Hose. Let's be truthful. So what's Revelations chapter

thirteen about. It's about the the image of the Beast and worshiping the image

of the Beast and taking his number. And if you don't, yeah,

the false prophet exactly, yep. And this is the chapter that says that

he comes up out of the earth, right, correct? Let that sink

in everybody. That's why this is telling you about Revelation chapter twelve. Yes

it is, Yes, it is. If you had ears that could hear,

you could have heard it. He says in the first three verses that

the birth pangs have begun, well within the birth well within the fourth right

will take no ladies and gentlemen take note that, of course, corror has

overwhelmed him, because remember, the plagues are going to be ravaging the earth

at this time, the terrors of death. Yeah, that's what he's talking

about. He talking about the four writers. And he says before the event,

he says, man, I wish I had the wings of a dove.

I would fly away and be at rest. What's verse seven? Say

he's wanting or they are wanting to fly away to the wilderness to have rest.

But then verse seven, behold, I would wander far away, ladies

and gentlemen. This is look here in English, it's in past tense.

But you know this is exactly what you're going to do. Behold, I

would wander far away. I would lodge in the wilderness. Say law,

ladies and gentlemen, this is straight from Revelation, chapter chapter twelve. Yes

it is. Yes, it is, ladies and gentlemen, it's from the

Revelation. That's exactly what she does. What happens, okay, verse five,

Revelation, chapter twelve. And she gave birth to a son, a

male child who's to rule all the nations with a wrought of iron. And

her child was caught up to God to his throne. Then the woman fled

into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God so that there

she would be nourished for one thousand, two hundred and sixty days. So

she flees to the wilderness. Then there's war in heaven, ladies and gentlemen.

That's what the next stands is about. In Revelation chapter twelve, Michael

comes down and dukes it out with Satan and the bad angels. Okay,

but guess what happens. They'd lose the war, and the great dragon was

thrown down the serpent of old, who's called the devil and Satan, he

seems the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth and his angels

down with him. That's what happens next, ladies and gentlemen. Now,

once he's thrown down to the earth, let's pick it up in verse thirteen.

And when the dragon saw he was thrown down to the earth, he

persecuted a woman who gave birth to the male child. But the two wings

of a great eagle were given to the woman so that she could fly into

the wilderness to her place where she was nursed for times and times and half

a time from the presence of the serpent. That's exactly what this psalm,

Psalm fifty five said in that chronological order. It literally put it in chronological

order. So you need to refamiliarize yourself with those texts when you're warned that

the problem is going to come from within the best. I got a couple

of thoughts on that, Matthew, I mean, tewod Peter two gives us

a real, real good explanation on false prophets. Right, there's other when

we got Baalim's example, right, what what he did? He knew he

couldn't prophesy against Israel, so he allowed he maneuvered immorality into Israel in order

to bring him down. So all these examples are are within within that body

of God, within the the congregation of God, that mixing like we read

about in First Corinthians. So so it makes sense that this false prophet is

going to have to come from there, Matthew, because if you have somebody,

I mean, Matthew, You're you're not gonna have you know, a

Buddhist. You're not gonna have a pagan come in and and and become a

false prophet in the Christian Church. That's that's uh, you know, that's

an immediate rejection. Right, You're gonna have a profit among us, that's

gonna whisper in our ears. It's gonna tell us what we want to hear,

that's gonna tickle particular ears, and and you know sweet talk us into

those immoral things. Matthew, that's just that's just biblical. That's what we've

that's what we've always read that, and that's what what we're told. That's

that's what's being used to test us. I mean, Deuteronomy says that right

there, it's being used to test us. And so so that's what that's

why it's so important to remove this from our churches, from our body,

whatever, whatever church body you're associated, whatever Christians that you're fellowshipping with.

You need to remove this immorality that's talked about in First Corinthians chapter five,

because that's going to protect you from that that ultimate frost prophet, Matthew,

from that last one. And I mean, you just follow what Jesus says

is going to happen, what the birth pangs are, what Christians are going

to have to go through, and the persecutions they're going to have to go

through, and it's going to be it's going to be the church turning on

its own, Matthew. That's that's what we're clearly told in the Bible.

And so when we get the Psalm fifty five and we read verse fifteen,

that right there is is harkening back to Kora's rebellion and what occurred in the

Exodus. And and that's what the Psalmist here, the Holy Spirit is truck

is putting in the sawmistart to crying out for God, can't you just take

away all this evil from my sight? Why do I have to be among

it? Why? Why do I have to be persecuted by it? So

again, this is just another way Matthew, for us to approach what we've

been talking about. Approach what we've been talking about, the bad shepherds,

the gathering, Kora's rebellion, all these biblical verses that we've gone over,

and it just keeps saying the same thing, Matthew, It just keeps reiterating

what God's told us before. And even though we read first comitted this and

we think, oh this is just a letter, Oh this is just you

know what other Christians say, Oh, this is just Paul talking about what's

going on, and Paul trying to establish the church among the gentiles. But

boy, there is prophecy in all of this, Matthew. And again,

all it is is God repeating himself. There's nothing new under the sun.

And he repeats himself so that his body, his church, can hear and

can understand what we need to prepare for. And you just had to say

one of my pet peeves, ladies and gentlemen. I know Jose's heard of

a trillion times, but for those new listeners, you need to know this.

If any preacher, teacher, pastor, I don't care who it is,

if they start referring to the Bible, God's holy words saying that Paul

wrote something, or reject them and get out, amen. The Bible is

inspired, it is inerrant, and it is infallible. And the primary way

historically that these heretic theologians did it was they begin to talk in such way.

They begin to say that Peter wrote this verse. They begin to say

that Matthew when he was talking in Matthew Chapter five. No, ladies and

gentlemen, this has been planned by the heretics at large. So just so

you all know, my children was always taught this from the cradle. If

any preacher, teacher says that Paul said this in Corinthians, immediately plug your

ears. Put two fingers in your ears. Don't believe a word they say,

because if they don't believe it's inspired, they don't believe it's in errant.

If they don't believe it's in errant, they don't believe it's infallible.

So what good are they? They're nothing more than what's described in Dude Raado,

I mean, chapter thirteen. And you must what courage to evil from

among you. If you can't purch that evil, if it's part of the

system, you need to get out of the system. You need to get

out of that church and go find another one. You know. The problem

is the problem is the particulars don't worry so much about the sign out in

front of the church. Call the church, schedule a private appointment with the

pastor and ask them a litany of questions. It won't take long for you

to figure out what they are. It won't take you long. It never

does. I mean, let's talk about this. Jose So Deneronama chapter thirteen

says this, if a prophet or a dreamer of dream arises among you and

gives you a sign or wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes true

concerning what he spoke to you, saying, let us go after other gods.

Boy, it would be it would be perfect if we knew the length

of time, right, Jose? Right, because we've got all kinds of

profits running around. I mean, just for instance, we're just gonna use

one. For instance. There's been so many prophets that say that there's gonna

be a great, big earthquake in California's gonna fall into the seat right right.

The problem is is that God in Deuteronomy, chapter thirteen, verse two,

never gave us a length of time? Did he? No? Because

obviously that hasn't come true. So this is the gray area, ladies and

gentlemen. So if somebody's not willing to give you a I don't know a

date, what do you think, Jose? They're not too confident in that

prophet, right, Matthew, I won't be afraid of them, right,

I mean, flat don't be afraid of them. They're counseling rebellion. I

mean that prophecy would only serve one purpose, right, right, I mean

I don't need to. I don't need to read for you Romans chapter twelve

or First Corinthians chapter twelve. Jose, I know that you know it.

The gifts of the spirit are for the illicit purpose of the body of Christ,

right right, So if you gave that prophet, you would be giving

that prophecy to the churches in California, right, correct? And you would

be telling them when to flee by what date? Correct? Yes, So

you would only be giving this prophecy to protect the Christians in that area,

right Amen. If it's just a blah blah blah blah blah prophecy, the

sky's gonna fall by November fourth, just reject them as heretics. It's not

if you're not giving me a date, time and which church is in that,

because that's why the Holy Spirit would do it. The Holy Spirit would

target specific churches. Oh my goodness, do you know that God knows everything?

Jose? Did you know that? Amen? Did you know that if

he knew that the Baptist church down on Fourth Street was going to be destroyed

in an earthquake? Do you know that the Lord your God would tell a

prophet, Hey, it's gonna be earthquake next Sunday. Get those people out

of that church, right right. He would tell you for a reason.

He wouldn't tell you for the sake of the entertainment aspect of carnage, would

he. No, So, ladies and gentlemen, you need to familiarize yourself

Romans chapter twelve and one Crimptians chapter twelve. Those things will only be in

accord with the protection the preservation of the body of Christ. So if somebody

has a prophecy saying, hey, the moon's going to fall in the twelfth,

if the Holy Sprit didn't tell them where the moon is going to hit

and which churches need to relocate, that's a false prophet. Let me say

that again. A prophet has never given information for his own good, is

it, Jose? No, math never the old person. Though. Purpose

as to why God tells a prophet what's going to happen is to relay the

message to his people. Amen. Amen, And God knows everything, Ladies

and gentlemen, This is not a rocket scientist that is required to figure these

things out. You must purge the evil from among you. Jose, go

back to First Corinthians chapter five and read those verses again. Forced please all

right, I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people.

I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or

with the covetous and swindlers, or with the idolators, for then you would

have to go out of the world. But actually I wrote to you not

to associate with any soul called brother, if he is an immoral person,

or covetous, or an idolator, or a revialer, or a drunkard,

or a swindler. Not even to eat with such a one. For what

have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are

within the church, but those who are outside? God judges. Remove the

wicked man from among yourselves. These things are important, ladies and gentlemen.

You need to be worried about your fellow Christians and setting in the pews with

you, because there's many We're getting down to that point where the rubber is

going to hit the road. And if all the gifts of the spirit was

to be placed back into the church, the only way you could bring the

church down is from within. That's the only way to do it. I

mean, if we had as per one Corinthians chapter twelve, Miracle workers,

Well, how could you be caught? Because you could. Let's say you

went to the grocery store and you just had the faith that get your wallet

out. Just pick out the first card, Let's say, in your first

card you picked up with your library card. If you put that in a

card reader, the transaction would go through. Once you have just three,

not all the gifts. If you just have these three, the top three

healings, miracles, and prophecies at work in every individual church, that church

cannot be tracked down. I don't care how big or bad your new world

order is, it would be absolutely untouchable. The only way to bring it

down would be with tears and goats. Tears in your field and goats in

your pasture. And you better have a dead reckoning as to what I mean.

Jose, can you pray us out of here? Please? Absolutely?

Dear Heavenly Father, I give you eternal thanks and praise for allowing us together

together. We're allowing us to share your word. We're allowing us to share

in fellowship with your son and with your Holy Spirit. Lord. I asked

that you bless this ecclesia listening to this program. Lord, we are in

dire need of the church body being edified, being strengthened, and being comforted.

Lord, Please help us to guide your sheep into your flock. Please

help us to keep those sheep that are already in your flock, keep them

fed, keep them safe, keep them healthy. Lord. And we just

ask for strength in the coming days to endure what we've read about tonight,

and that you give us the wisdom and the knowledge to operate in your Holy

Spirit and to truly be salt and light on this earth before you're a Greek

coming. Lord. And we ask all this in the name of your Son,

our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen, and Amen.
