008 The Slaughter of The Shepherds Pt 3

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're your

host, Matthew and Jose. Jose, why don't you do an opening for

this one. What's your thoughts about what we're getting ready to cover tonight and

what are we going to cover tonight? Well, Matthew, are our previous

episodes have been on the lot of the shepherds and the gathering of the sheep,

and it's you know, we we've been hitting this point, the fact

that there are bad shepherds, and that's why God himself has to come down

and become our shepherd. And that's also why God references to his son as

being the shepherd. That's why we're given illusions with David that he was a

shepherd before he became king. So all these things were kind of pointing to

us to how God looks at us as his flock, as sheep that are

gathered together for him. And we've heard parables in the gospel that talk about

that, you know, how how God has a flock and the shepherd will

leave that flock to go look for that lost one, that one lost sheep.

So all of these illusions, all these parables should be they should be

in the fourth front in our head when we go through and we're reading about

the slaughter of the shepherds, and then we also were had shows about the

gathering, the gathering of his flock, the gathering of his people, and

again with God refer all those illusions that God gives us to us being his

sheep, and how he's going to gather the nursing news, how he's going

to gather the lambs, how he's going to gather his flock, and again

because the shepherds that have been appointed over us aren't doing their job. And

the chapter we're going to cover tonight, Matthew really brings these two points together

beautifully. And I don't understand why this chapter is not priests more often,

because everything that Jesus said and the gospels about the sheep and shepherds is here,

everything that we've been reading about. Again, like I said, what

what he know? How even even when when Jacob and his sons went to

Egypt, Right, what did Joseph tell them? Tell tell the Pharaoh that

you are shepherds. So you have all these all these illusions in the Old

Testament to how important that job is. And so Ezekiel thirty four again Hammer's

at home. How the shepherds have not done their job and it's up to

God to come down and take care of things. And that's exactly what he

does in this chapter. Matthew, Well, I just want to, you

know, summarize that the Lord God establishes this concretely in the last two verses

of this chapter. There's no debating that everything that you have aforementioned is the

absolute truth. This is the way, this, this is first person God

speaking. Then they will know that the Lord their God and with them,

and that the house of Israel are my people, declares the Lord God.

As for you, my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, you are

men, and I am your God, declares the Lord God. Period.

And that right there lays in concrete everything that just comes out of your mouth.

Right, there's only one sheep, jose Yes, okay, there's no

such thing as a different sheep. You're either a Christian or you're not,

And this nips in the bud everything that people lie about. Romans Chapters nine

through eleven. Jose, where are you from? Where am i? F

Was I born? Yes? Where were you born? I was born in

southern California? Where I was born? Okay, so we could say you're

Californian? Right? And you moved to your present location. Where do you

live now? Which in Arizona? Okay? So you're definitely an American?

Right? Yes, no, you're not. Once you got saved, you

became Israel. Jose, that's what God just said. Did you say his

sheep? He didn't say Russian sheep, did he? No, he did

not. He didn't say Jewish sheep, did he? Do? You want

to know why he didn't say Jewish sheep? Because if you're Jewish, you're

not his sheep. Only through the good Shepherd do you become one of his

flock. If you deny this, you deny Christ. It's that simple.

So I would like to expand on what you said and even take it further.

Hose day, everything that Christ talked about being the good Shepherd, it

is from Ezekive, chapter thirty four. Am Okay, and I'll debate anybody

in the court law, and I won't use any psychobabble from an English translation.

I will go into that court of law explicitly in Hebrew and Greek.

What we're getting ready to read this is the God's honest gospel truth. This

is what's going to happen. If you have something else on your itinerary,

you are dead wrong. You're dead wrong. If you're wondering why the tribulation

happens and you don't know, you're getting ready to emphatically and precisely. You're

getting ready to precisely find out. Now, this chapter is rather long in

the two, it's thirty one versus long, but it is the absolute most

important text you need to know before any of these things begin to happen.

So, Jose boy, there's just no way to do this except jump into

it. What way do you think we should go about this? Should we

take this by by the portion or just should we read it straight through and

then then talk about it. Which which way do you? Yeah, let's

let's read it all the way through, Matthew, and then we'll we'll go

back to it, because it's really important that we cover the whole chapter at

least give it, get it in everyone's heads, and then and then we

can we can come back and uh and get into it. So all right,

well can you read it? And if so, which translation are you

reading out of? Here? I'm reading out of the NASB nineteen ninety five,

So yeah, I'll to start from the top THEMB nineteen ninety five.

Ezekiel, chapter thirty four. Then the word of the Lord came to me,

saying, Son of Man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy

and say to those shepherd, thus says the Lord God, woe shepherds of

Israel, who have been feeding themselves. Should not the shepherds feed the flock.

You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool. You slaughter the

fat sheep without feeding the flock those who are sickly. You have not strengthened

the diseased. You have not healed the broken. You have not bound up

the scattered. You have not brought back, nor have you sought for the

lost. But with force and with severity you have dominated them. They were

scattered for lack of a shepherd, and they became food for every beast of

the field, and were scattered. My flock wandered through all the mountains on

every high hill. My flock was scattered over all the surface of the earth,

and there was no one to search or seek for them. Therefore,

you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord. As I live, declares

the Lord God. Surely, because my flock has become a prey. My

flock has even become food for all the beasts of the field for lack of

a shepherd, and my shepherds did not search for my flock, but rather

the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed my flock. Therefore, you shepherds,

hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God. Behold,

I am against the shepherds, and I will demand my sheep from them

and make them cease from feeding sheep. So the shepherds will not feed themselves

anymore. But I will deliver my flock from their mouth, so that they

will not be food for them. For thus says the Lord God. Behold,

I myself will search for my sheep and seek them out, as a

shepherd cares for his herd in the day when he is among his scattered sheep.

So I will care for my sheep, and I will deliver them from

all the places to which they were scattered. On a cloudy and gloomy day,

I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the

countries, and bring them to their own land. And I will feed them

on the mountains of Israel, by the streams, and in all the inhabited

places of the land. I will feed them in a good pasture, and

their grazing ground will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will

lie down on good grazing ground and feed enrich pastures. On the mountains of

Israel. I will feed my flock, and I will lead them to rest,

It declares the Lord God. I will seek the lost, bring back

the scattered, bind up the broken, and strengthen the sick. But the

fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them with judgment.

As for you, my flock, thus says the Lord God. Behold,

I will judge between one sheep and another, between the rams and the male

goats. Is it too slight a thing for you that you should feed in

the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the rest of

your pastures, or that you should drink of the clear waters, that you

must foul the rest with your feet. As for my flock, they must

eat what you tread down with your feet, and drink what you foul with

your feet. Therefore, thus says the Lord God to them, behold,

I even I will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep, because

you push with side and shoulder, and thrust all the week with your horns

until you have scattered them abroad. Therefore I will deliver my flock, and

they will no longer be a prey. And I will judge between one sheep

and another. Then I will set over them one shepherd, my servant David,

and he will feed them. He will feed them himself and be their

shepherd. And I the Lord will be their god, and my servant David

will be prince among them. I the Lord have spoken. I will make

a covenant of peace with them, and eliminate harmful beasts from the land,

so that they may live securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods.

I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing, and I

will cause showers to come down in their season. They will be showers of

blessing. Also the tree of the field will yield its fruit, and the

earth will yield its increase, and they will be secure on their land.

Then they will know that I am the Lord. When I have broken the

bars of their yoke and have delivered them from the hand of those who enslaved

them, they will no longer be a prey to the nations, and the

beasts of the earth will not devour them. But they will live securely,

and no one will make them afraid. I will establish for them a renowned

planting place, and they will not again be victims of famine in the land,

and they will not endure the insults of the nations anymore. Then they

will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them, and

that they the House of Israel, are my people, declares the Lord God.

As for you, my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, you

are men, and I am your God, declares the Lord God. Boy,

that's a mouthful, isn't it. Yes, it is. You know.

He he is that appropriately, and he'll take note. Juda is nowhere

near this chapter. Amen, Amen, okay, I know the Hebrew,

I know the Greek. I'm telling you it's not here because God wants you

to be very clear. He wants you to have a precise reckoning and understanding

that at this point in time, there's no such thing as a Jew.

You're either in Christ or not. He made himself perfectly clear. Now,

the thing that this does is to me, the only thing I heard is

the book Revelation, because I know it. It's been written on my heart.

I mean, consider this, Jose. Take the amount of times that

I've read the Bible cover to cover. When you couple that with the times

that I've read Revelation through by just by itself, I've read it thousands of

times. Wow. Amen. So having done that, this text is very

plain to me. I understand exactly what he's saying. He's saying, first

of all, that this is instigated by bad shepherds. Right, Okay,

that's why he gets involved. He gets involved because of bad shepherds. Now

look, Jose, this should scream out to you, doesn't it. Because

the Lord Jesus Christ told us that how would we become prey? Well,

everybody knows. Jesus said that even members of our own household would turn us

into the authorities, right right. I wish you hadn't said that, Jose,

I wish you hadn't agreed with me, because you're making it perfectly clear

what the shepherd you're going to do at these churches. Oh ladies and gentlemen,

I'm sorry. They're not only teaching you false the doctrines. They're also

going to turn They will they have, oh my goodness, they will hand

over all their membership, rosters and God himself. Now this is going further

than the Lord Jesus Christ. This is he who said at upon the throne,

this is the Ancient of days, telling you your shepherds are going to

hand you over to be pray. Yes they are. Ose, he just

said that, and he said it. Let me say this facetiously. He

stated it and play in English, didn't he? And then he said it's

not done, is it? He's not over. You should have been listening

for something that Jose and I have been screaming about over the past several episodes.

You are going through Cuross rebellion. And he just said so. He

just absolutely said that he's going to deal with the shepherds first. Then he's

going to judge between the sheep and the goats. You heard that, right,

That's what he said. Yep, I want to judge between the fat

sheep and the lean sheep. Amen. Amen, So now we're really getting

reduced. We're separating the sheep from the goats first. And these are the

Ancient of days speaking ladies and gentlemen. He don't need any commentary. The

Ancient of days just said this. When he's done judging between the rams and

the male goats, then he's going to judge between the fat and the lean

sheep. That's exactly what he said, right, Hose, I mean I

didn't hear it funny, did I? That is exactly what he said,

correct, he said, yep, exactly. And you and I know these

things to be detailed in a revelation right now. There a lot of the

phraseology is spoken prophetically, but here it's right out in the open. It's

it's it's using plain English. He's telling you exactly what he's going to do.

Now. There is no debating who David his son is. There's no

debating that. There's just no debating it. That is the Lord Jesus Christ.

So this is as plain as it gets. This tells you that after

after the slaughter of the shepherds, this is when the great gathering is going

to take place. And he states specifically, wherever he takes you, this

place that he prepares for you, that is your back from that point forward,

that's your place. He calls it Israel. From that point forward,

I don't care if it's in Antarctica. Wherever God's flock is, that land

is called Israel. That's what he says. Now, he makes some very

interesting references here, and he uses phraseology to get your attention about this day,

because once again, Jose, we're talking about this day, right right,

Let's let's do this. Read form me verse twelve again. Please,

as a shepherd cares for his herd in the day when he is among his

scattered sheep, so I will care for my sheep and will deliver them from

all the places to which they were scattered on a cloudy and gloomy day.

Bingo, alarm bells are ringing in my mind. Right now. I know

exactly what day he's talking about. He uses, he uses a particular set

of words there in Hebrew. I know exactly what he's talking about. I'm

not I don't think I know. I'm not you know, guessing at what

might he be talking about because he said these things before. Okay, let's

go to zeph Andiyah the first chapter, verse fourteen. Near is the great

day of the Lord, near and coming. Very quickly, listen the day

of the Lord in it, the warrior cries out bitterly. A day of

wrath is that day? A day of trouble and distress, A day of

destruction and desolation, A day of darkness and gloom, A day of clouds

and thick darkness. Ding ding ding, ding ding ding. Dean, see,

I don't need an English translation. I heard that in Hebrew. Amen.

I knew exactly what he was talking about, where he talked about it

before, and why he talked about it, I stated again, Ezekiel,

chapter thirty four, verse twelve. On a cloudy and gloomy day, that's

the day of the Lord, as described in the verses I just gave you.

Yes it is. Let's read the next one. Let's read Zefni chapter

one, verse sixteen. Now, listen, ladies, gentlemen, you better

understand what God's talking about, because you should already understand what happens on the

seventh trumpet. Uh, you're all confused again. Revelation chapter eleven, verse

fifteen. Don't deny it, don't lie about it. It's on the last

trumpet that Christ has coorinated. Is that not correct? Hose have we not

repeatedly read that that piece of scripture. Yep, that's correct, Matthew.

Okay, we I'm gonna read the next verse, okay, and then that

verse is going to tell you something very important here, So everybody needs to

listen up. So this is I've already read is Zepni chapter one, verses

fourteen fifteen. So this is sixteen a day of trumpet and battle cry against

the fort to fied cities and the high corner towers. I will bring distress

on the men so that they will walk like the blind, because they have

sinned against the Lord, and their blood will be poured out like dust,

and their flesh like dumb. He's talked about this before, with the slaughter

of the shepherds. Remember he said, on this day, he literally from

one end of the planet to the other is lined up with dead bodies.

But his bad shepherds are screeching out because their paradise has been destroyed. God

has taken out their lear jets. Amen. Amen, He's taken out their

cadillacs. Amen. Amen, He's taken out their y key Key Beach houses.

Amen. Amen, And we read exactly what they was going to do.

And now you can put these two things together. Now you know when

the trumpets begin to black, he just told you because he's no respector of

persons. Jose, can you stop the the antion of days from doing this?

No, Matthew, that's why he don't care, right, it's no

respector of persons. He's going to tell you what he's going to do because

it doesn't matter if the bad shepherds know this or not, doesn't Jose,

Nope, it doesn't matter if sinners know doesn't. No, Matthew, It

only matters if his sheep know it. And once they know it, they

will not perish for lack of knowledge. Right right, Well, ladies and

gentlemen, I hope you understand. Will just come out of my mouth.

Now. You know you're going to be betrayed when these things begin to happen,

And the Lord Jesus Christ said they are going to happen, so you'd

better just prepare yourself for those first four seals, because the Lord Jesus Christ

declared that in Matthew twenty four, those first four seals are in fact the

birth pains, and once you start experiencing those birth pains, you better get

real leery if you're pastor all of a sudden decides to come by your house

and pay you a visit, because this is the Ancient of days talking,

and he's telling you exactly who's going to hand you over, and many of

you will be killed because you've been handed over, Oh my goodness by the

bad shepherds. Oh my goodness. People just can't It blows my mind how

they will lie and they'll say, oh, I've read through the Bible many

times. I've read through the Bible once a year. I've read it,

you know, every year. I started doing it twenty years ago, I've

at least reade through the Bible twenty times. Really, really, well,

then why do the martyrs begin to cry out? We'll scratch their head and

a little bit. What water are you talking about? Really? Really?

You claim to have a doctorate in theology and don't have a flying ripping clue.

Who's going to deceive you so that you get turned over the authorities.

And when they kill you, they'll say they're doing God a favor, They're

doing God a service. You you don't know who does that really, really

you don't know why God gets involved, you know. With that in mind,

I think I'm gonna I'm sorry, Jose, but we're going to go

off of the off the plan here. Okay, we'll just go have a

read of it, shall we. Sure, So I'm gonna pick up where

I left off. Okay, no need for me to read the first four

seals, right right? So God just told you what's going to happen,

so you just need to sit there and accept it. Ladies and gentlemen,

this is what's going to happen. The Fifth Seal Revelation, chapter six,

verse nine. When the lamb broke the Fifth Seal, I saw underneath the

altar of the slow Go had been slain because of the word of God and

because of the testimony which they had maintained. And they tried it out with

a loud voids, saying, how long, o Lord, Holy and true,

when you refrain from judging? And I'm bending our blood on those who

dwell on the earth. And there was given to each white robe, and

they were told that they should rest a good while longer until the number of

their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed, even as they

had been, would be completed. Also, you'll take note, ladies and

gentlemen. God didn't answer him, Idy Jose, No he didn't, Matthew,

because you find yourself, ladies and gentlemen, at this point in time,

you find yourself in the absence of the Ancient of days. Now he's

left his throne room, he's got up off his throne, and he's come

and guess what in the absence of the Ancient of days. This is what

happens when he arrives at the late great planet Earth. I want to read

it for you in plain English, not in Elizabethan English, lest you might

become confused. I'll read it to you in plain English. This event is

also described perfectly in the Book of Zephania and the Book of Joel and Zachariah,

all of them actually described this day verse twelve from the Revelation, chapter

six. I looked when he broke the stick seal, and there was a

greater quake, unbecome black a soundcloth made of hair, and the whole moon

became like black, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as

a fig tree cast its unripe figs from shaped by a great wind. The

sky was split apart like a scroll when it's rolled up, and every mountain

and island were moved out of their places. That the kings of the earth,

and the great men, the commanders, the wrench, the strong,

and every slave and freeman hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks and

the mountains. And they sit in the mountains, and the rocks fall on

us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne for

the wrath of the Laman, for the great day of the wrath has come,

and who was able to stand. Ladies, don't just come rut and

told you that God's no longer on this strong. This is the Ancient of

Days. Now, you don't need to know that. It's in plain English.

When he sets back down on his throne. That's also given in the

Bible, God's Holy Word in plain English. It really is. If you

go there to Daniel chapter seven, he's going to tell you when he sets

back down. He literally comes right out and tells you when he sets back

In Revelation chapter seven, verse nine, I kept looking into the throat were

setup, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. Is there any debating

these things, Jose, No, it's plainly written in God's word, Matthew.

So when we look to the Book of Revelation, what should be the

next event that we see? Because if he's saying right now this is his

great day, the next thing we should see in the Book of Revelation is

the slaughter of the shepherd's right. Correct, when's the last time you turn

the page? I just direcked you from Revelation chapter Turn the page. It's

that simple. Turn to page. Revelation chapter seven perfectly describes the numbering and

the marking for death as described in Revelation Chapter twenty. These ones can't take

the mark of the beasts because they've been sealed by God. They're marked for

death. Then what happens, ladies and gentlemen. It comes right out and

tells you. He comes right out and tells you what this is. I'm

going to read from Revelation chapter seven, verse fifteen. You need to write

this down somewhere, because God says that he marks the shepherds for slaughter,

He numbers them, and then he says that he's going to gather his people.

Get I'm going to reach straight from it. This is in plain English.

Jose, I swear it is. It's in plain English. For this

reason. There before the throat of God, and they serve him day and

night in his temple, and he who sits on the throne will spread his

taburn knaple over them. They will hunger no longer, nor thirst anymore,

nor will the sun be down on them, nor any heat. For the

limb and the center of the throne will be their shepherd and will guide them

to springs, the water of life, and God will wipe every tear from

their eyes? Is there any question? And it's so funny. It's so

funny to read this if you don't know the narrative, because it'll just confuse

you. Because Ezekiel chapter thirty four was pretty clear. It was pretty clear.

Once God gathers you and segregates you, even though all the hell is

breaking loose outside of the cop confines of what he calls his pasture or what

he calls Israel, it's balmy inside there, right, Jose, Yes it

is. And once he spreads his tabernacle over you, it's a done deal.

It's a done deal. Now, of course, Christ has to obliterate

everyone outside of that enclosure, right, Jose, but the East and the

false prophet and everybody teos the American Christ wipes them out right. Yes,

now, hose, why would God use this phraseology here in Revelation chapter seven,

verse fifteen, with this tabernacle? What on earth is a tabernacle?

Was the tabernacle? We're told about it in a in the Exodus story,

right, how they erected the tabernacle. We're told about the tabernacle of David.

Where God's going to recreate that. It's it's it's a covering, it's

a it's you know, a tent in essence where where his people reside in.

That's what That's what God's God's establishing for the woman when when she's taken

to a place that's been prepared for her, and there's no denying that.

I'll read from Acts chapter fifteen, verse sixteen. After these things, I

will return and I will rebuild the Tabernacle of David, which may and I

will rebuild the true and I will restart it. So, ladies, and

the tabernacle is not a temple. What made the tabernacle special? It was

a tint? Yes, And now now listen, and it's going to confuse

a lot of people because it confuses them. Jose, how long was the

pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night with Israel?

How long did that happen? The whole time they were in the wilderness,

so all forty years? Yes, uh huh, None understand this. When

that pillar lifted up, the Israelites would pack up all their tints, and

they would also pack up God's tint. What was God's tent called Jose,

tabernacle, the tabernacle, ladies and gentlemen. Ezekiel chapter thirty four is telling

you emphatically that's exactly what He's going to do. And this is non debatable.

It's a non debatable issue. I don't care if you're you call yourself

pre tribe or mint trib or post tribe or a preterist. None of that

garbage matters to God because what he described in Ezekiel chapter thirty four, that's

what's going to happen. And you need to familiar yourself or you need to

familiarize yourself with it, because that's what's going to happen. So when you

know that's what's going to happen, all of a sudden, everything makes sense

all the way back to the fifth to the fifth steal, Jose, right,

because now you understand what you just read in Ezekiol chapter thirty four,

don't you, Jose. Yes, team made himself very clear. It was

the shepherds that had given over his sheep first water. Now, what's even

more emphatic. Everybody should understand some of the things that's spoken of here by

the Lord. So, Jose, you were born and raised in the church,

right, Yes, I was Matthew. And if you were ever filled

with the Holy Spirit, if anyone ever laid his hands on you and healed

you or done anything like that, it should have been the clergy, right,

correct, right, So we appreciate that the Holy Spirit descended and fell

upon the apostles. Amen. Amen. And the Bible is very clear that

they wants the spirit of Living God. It fell upon them, they begin

to lay their hands on new Christians and receive the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Amen. So we're not going to debate this, are we. Nope,

this is a matter of biblical fact. To ladies and jentlemen. If all

of your personal walks with Christ is hollow, no one understands it's hollow and

not hallow because your clergy have done exactly this. I'll read it verbot.

I don't have a problem quoting God himself verse four. Those who are sickly,

you've not strengthened the diseased. You have not healed the broken, you

have not bound up the scatcherd. You have not brought back. Not have

you sought for the lost. But with force and severity you have dominated them.

Maybe I should elaborate on our last part. Jose, Well, yes,

you're not allowed to tend other churches, are you? Jose? No,

Matthew, let me ask you something. And by the way, ladies

and gentlemen, Oh, this this does happen? Oh yes it does so,

Jose. What what do you think would happen if your pastor found out

that you were also a member a member of the Let's see here, you're

not charismatic, right, So what would happen if your pastor found out that

you were going that you were also a member of the what would be a

good one of the Pentecostal church three streets over from your church? What would

he do? Well, I've seen this happen before, Matthew, and that

pastor would talk to you and try to explain to you why the church that

you were raised in is the proper church. And they would, for all

intents and purposes, they would plead with you, Matthew, to really understand

your church and understand why that pastor believes the churches is the correct church.

Right they would. I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I never saw anybody,

anybody getting angry at that other person. But they would tell you, you

know, okay, you need to if you're seriously considering that other church,

you also need to seriously understand what this church stands for and then make your

choice. That's right, That's what I've seen a court. Because you must

make a choice. You will be communicated. Yes, I appreciate your trying

to be nice that I'm not. The people listening to program need to know

the truth. You will be kicked out of one of the churches, okay,

because you will be dominated over. Yes you will, Oh yes you

will. Dominated Oh yes you will. You will pay your tithe to only

one of those pastors. Jose won't say you won't because, oh you don't

know about the quagmire from accountants, do you? Ah? Yes, nobody

realizes that. Well, if you're paying tithe at two different churches, the

five oh one c threes. You're gonna have to file for that, and

guess what that's gonna come back to whoever does your taxes. You want to

know how I know that, Jose, because I've played this little danced with

the damned before. But see, some people like the fringe benefits of going

to two churches, because you know the bigger churches, Jose, they'll go

on two different cruises paid for by the church. You know them Holy Land

cruises. You know what I'm talking about, right, Jose. Yes,

everybody's starting to fidget in their seats because they know exactly who I'm talking about.

I'm talking about. You don't think you can hide from the likes of

me, But I'm gonna make myself for a plane. If you attend a

church, you're a member of a church because you get to go on a

yearly cruise that everybody thinks it's funny. Underneath the table, they took your

pythe money and chartered this cruise ship and you all get to go. God

doesn't think that's funny. God doesn't think it's funny when there's you know,

He has plenty of reserves of cash, and your churches every time they meet.

The ad board meets up once a year. They just take the CDs

and roll them over. Oh my goodness, you didn't know that. I

knew that, did you. Ladies and gentlemen, here to tell you the

Lord he's got. Now you may think in your little bitty brain that he's

gonna come sing Kumbaya. I'm telling you he's coming, and he's all on

wheels. And if you read that passage I gave you in Daniel chapter four,

starting in verse nine, that's exactly what he says. He exactly says

that his throne have flames of fire, and flame is coming out before it,

right, Jose, that's what it says, Matthew. Yes, as

he takes the timeline itself and nukes it. So just you don't understand.

That's what happens during the birth haints. Ladies and gentlemen. The Shepherd's going

to be turning you in and many of you will become martyrs. Yes you

will. It wouldn't surprise me if the Shepherd's actually during this time says,

hey, we the church have got this special deal. We're going to go

here and get this special thing, you know, and do this special thing

and everybody to the church needs to show up for because we've rented the bus

to go to this carnival, but you wind up going to a circus and

you wind up being the bread. I'm telling you it's coming because that's what

the Lord got. I don't know how to stay. You'll understand it.

This is what the Ancient of days has said is going to happen. And

because I knew the timeline, I knew what to look for. So when

I read that Revelation, it made sense to me. Because I had already

read Ezekiel, I already believed it. It's not a little golden book to

me. It's not the funny papers, it's not a novel. When I

read is he could chapter thirty four, you can't take it from me.

There is nothing you could say, There's nothing you could do that could possibly

convince me otherwise. So when you have read God's word that way and written

it on your heart in thus fashion, when I read you the passages in

Revelation, it made perfect sense. Yes, that let left out a lot

of the verses, especially in Revelation chapter seven. I didn't have to.

I don't have time for that. You just need to know that this is

exactly what God says he's going to do and exactly how he's going to do

it. I mean, we have tons of passages of him referring to to

himself as being there in the wilderness for forty years. Do we not hose

that's correct? Matthew? Why does nobody think he can do this again?

Have you ever heard a pastor, I don't mean your pastor, any pastor.

Have you ever heard any pastor say that the Ancient of days can come

down here and shepherd you. Have you ever heard that? No, Matthew,

even though like we read last week, God said he's going to do

it a second time, he said himself that he's going to do it a

second time. He's going to do it again just like he did before.

But no, I have not heard that, preach Matthew. Well, that

just don't make any sense to me. I mean, ladies and gentlemen,

I don't need to look it up. Isaac, Listen, it's really easy

to remember because the numbers Isaiah. Eleven eleven, Oh my goodness reminds me

of remember everybody having the dreams of eleven eleven? Jose, Yes, No,

this eleven eleven is real, this is really gonna happen. Then it

will happen on that day that the Lord will again recover the second time with

his hand the remnant of it his people, who will remain from Assyria,

Egypt, Panthers, cush lamb Shinar a math and from the islands of the

sea. Guess what that means prophetically, especially in the Hebrew. Look up,

what's he saying there? He's saying Lottie, dottie, everybody. So

I don't understand why you go to all these Bible prophecy experts. Not a

single one of them says it, do they? Jose? I mean,

the the predrector so bad they deny Christ. Is every even going to come

back and rule and reign for a thousand years? They completely deny the millennial

reign of Christ. They completely deny it. And yet the Bible repeatedly states

what the Ancient of Days intends to do. So, ladies, gentlemen,

you need to be familiar with what I said. You need to earn this

in your brain. You need to stain your brain with this phraseology. Listen

to me, the absence of the Ancient of days, it is going to

happen, and the second he gets up off of his heavenly throne, everything

falls apart. Jose, you've been off of quiet because I've been rambling on

what say you? The only thing I want to add, Matthew, the

ones who persecuted Christ and eventually have him crucified. Where those were these same

shepherds were talking about, Matthew, the ones that you're warning us about that

are going to turn us over on that causes the Lord himself to come down.

We're given the examples of the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the scribes.

They're the ones that are constantly testing Jesus, the lawyers, and it's and

it's the High Priest himself who's who's asking questions of Jesus on his trial.

Those are the ones that that sent him up to be crucified, And those

are the ones that you know used punches pilot to accomplish this, to deliver

him to be killed for our sins. And it's and Jesus himself says that

it's their fathers who did the same thing to the prophets. So when we

will read the fifth Seal, we know who martyred those those martyrs there,

who killed them and so that's why God tells us that that our shepherds are

gonna do the same things to us, Matthew, that they're going to leave

us to be devoured by the beasts of the field, that they're going to

leave us to be food for those ravenous that they should be protecting us from.

So it's again, it's all it all makes sense because it's what God's

repeated over and over again, and it's just it's just we're not making this

stuff up, Matthew. It's in the Bible. It's what God's always said.

He's repeating it. And yes, if all you do is just read

the Book of Revelation, you can be confused. But if you just do

a little bit of reading in your Old Testament, a little bit of reading

in the Gospels, God's going to tell you what what the Book of Revelation

is all about, and why it all makes sense, and what his plan

is. He's he's he's explaining himself over and over again. So we really

have no excuse for not understanding what what's what's going to becoming, Matthew.

So that I think that's what I want to leave with the listener today as

we discussed these these shepherds, and boy hurts Matthew, because we like to

believe that those people that are in the church, that are up there leading

service and that are up there guiding and pastoring. Boy, we we really

want them to be good, Matthew. We really want them to be helping

people. We want them to be devoted to God. But that's just not

what we're seeing now, Matthew. That's just not that's just not who's in

charge of our churches today. You know, Hosea, I'm going to say

that it is probably gonna have said a lot of people, but I need

to save them if we can. Ladies and gentlemen, you're not going to

get anything over on me. You're just not. One time it came up

in church that we're going to have an administration board meeting, and I looked

at my wife and she looked at me funny because you know, I wasn't

gonna say anything out loud. It's the Lord just told me to go to

that meeting. Well, I go and they give a list and there's this

list of organizations that they talk about that we send our tithe to the district,

and then the district is supporting these organizations. I take that list,

I bring it over. I look it up, and well, guess who

one of those organizations were supporting. Well, they were funding Planned Parenthood.

Ose, did you hear what I said? Yes, I did, Matthew.

So this organization had a good Christian name. I looked them up.

Come to find out there was a redistribution five oh one C three and I

said, give you a list of the organizations you're supporting worst, so take

knowledge of Like, no one understand what I'm saying. The church district was

sending this organization their tithe and then this company was turning around, taking off

an administration fee and sending those funds of their places. The other places was

Planned Parenthood of gorting the sons of God. Did I offend you? I

hope I did, because I don't lie, and you're not worth going to

hellover. I'll tell it to you a different way. They were aborting the

daughters of thought. Infanticide. It's it's not abortion, ladies, it's the

murder of infants. So Ose, how long do you think I attended that

church? Yeah, that was probably the last time you stopped putting that church.

Matthew's luke, ladies and gentlemen, you need to hit You ain't got

a clue you see, this is how these back door deals are made.

I mean, Hose, have you ever seen a church that well, let's

just say Planned Parenthood, decided to start harassing and start picketing. Have you

ever seen that happen? No? Well, this is how they can be

bribed. Just to make sure you understand what I'm telling you, Ose,

come to find out this church in bid threatened and they were told they won't

be harassed if they would support this organization. Now do you understand what I'm

saying over they? Yes, I do. Matthew and the bad shepherds can't

have no ruffling of the feathers, can they, Jose? No, Jose.

It is our job to serve the Lord, God of Host and in

that role, we're going to tell you, ladies and gentlemen, if you've

not already done so, you need to repent, return from your wickedness,

and run into the arms of the little Lord Jesus Christ. It's that way

and no other way. It's very easily to be confused, very easily to

be deceived in this day and age, and I'm telling you every one of

you. Probably your churches have a financial review once a year. I suggest

you go there. I suggest you get the paperwork and you better find out

what your church is doing. Because I mentioned this earlier and I'll expand on

it last. You know, if your church is just taking CDs, then

once they reach maturity, the church is voting on them to just roll that

money over instead of investing in most notably the children. I mean, let's

just talk about when I was a kid, all the children that got saved

in my neighborhood. That was because our church had a bus ministry. The

bus would drive all over town picking up any child that wanted to come to

church. And if you think God don't remember that, you're going to get

what you've got coming to you. Because God does not require you to roll

over CDs and just turn God's house into a den of thieves. He requires

you to evangelize, to feed the hungry, to take care of the sick.

I mean, I am right, right, Jose, Or am I

wrong? Nope? That's what he just That's what we just read. He'd

better not catch you rolling over CDs. Ladies and gentlemen. I'm just flat

telling you and if you're you know, if your church isn't doing it,

you need to start taking your tithe and putting it elsewhere like a food pantry.

Amen, Jose Amen, Matthew. Amen, you better fear the Lord,

ladies and gentlemen, because he is God and he's coming off his throat.

Remember what I said. You better figure out what the absence of the

ancient of days is. You know where you're at in that pecking order.

And if you're a bad shepherd, well, I guess I've warned you clear

enough. Oseh, Can you take us out of hair and prayer? Please?

Yes, I can of you, our Father, who are in heaven.

How would be thy name? That kingdom come, that will be done

on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this dayre daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine

is the Kingdom, the Power, and the glory forever and ever. Amen,

Amen and Amen until next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless God

speed. Thank you for listening to Marinath the Ministries with Matthew Miller. I
