  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 Redemption draweth

  4. nigh. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to Maranatha Ministries. I am

  5. Matthew Miller. This is going to be an introductory episode for those of you

  6. that have never participated in Maranatha Ministries. Here at Maranatha Ministries we have two

  7. types. We have ministers and we have members. Are the two ways you

  8. can participate in Maranatha Ministries. What does that mean? Or perhaps maybe I

  9. should do a little bit more about myself. Maranatha Ministries is based in Reader,

  10. North Dakota. So onto the meaning the word Maranatha is found. It

  11. is a Greek word used in the Greek New Testament in First Corinthians, chapter

  12. sixteen, verse twenty two. It's a word there used and it is the

  13. strongest Cocordance says that it is G thirty one thirty four and it reads as

  14. such Maranatha aramaic and it means an explanation of the approaching divine judgment of Kalidi

  15. origin. I'll take note. I need to say that right off the bat.

  16. Some churches call it Kalidi, some churches call it Aramaic. It's the

  17. same exact thing. Kaladean and Aramaic is the same thing. So with that

  18. in mind, I'm going to give you a little bit more. Because this

  19. ministry we cover both the Hebrew and the Greek. Let me explain a little

  20. bit about that. What's the difference between Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic. Aramaic or

  21. Kalidi is a transliteration into the Hebrew of the Kaladian language. So there are

  22. different suffixes in prefixes, But in your strongest concordance you will find H seventy

  23. four thirty eight. That is rome or what is translated to be it's a

  24. shout of a shout of deliverance. Now you couple that with the Hebrew word

  25. H eight five eight, which is athha. It means to arrive. So

  26. I'm giving you a whole lot more information than your strongs is going to In

  27. the Greek. I just give you the two root words from which it comes.

  28. When you put these two together, it relays the idea of first Thesalonians,

  29. chapter four, verse sixteen, which reads as such, And take note,

  30. every time I read the scripture, it will most probably be out of

  31. the New American Standard Bible, the ninety five update, because that has passed

  32. into the public domain. So reading from the New American Standard Bible ninety five

  33. update. First Thatsalonians chapter four and verse sixteen. For the Lord himself will

  34. descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with

  35. the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. This

  36. is the idea that the Greek word maranatha comes from. This, this compound

  37. word. So it is to shout from the arrival. That's what the prefix

  38. mem from, So to shout at the arrival, the arrival of who,

  39. of course, the Lord Jesus Christ at his perusia asis described in First Thesalonians,

  40. chapter four, verse sixteen. So now you have an a Hebraic understanding

  41. of the Greek origin of the word maranatha. It's first, that's Leones chapter

  42. four, verse sixteen. It's where this idea is coming from. So,

  43. ladies and gentlemen, you need to need to know that the whole purpose of

  44. marianatha ministries is to prepare the way of the Lord. That's what we're doing.

  45. We are preparing for the perugi of Christ. This ministry is not like

  46. any ministry you have ever encountered, or at least to my knowledge. And

  47. this is one of the very primary reasons. Is because we hold that the

  48. Bible, God's Holy Word is a source code. That source code is binary

  49. in origin. It is one Hebrew and it was too Greek. You put

  50. the Hebrew Bible source code together and you get the Bible God's Holy Word.

  51. This is the only ministry we'll ever hear say that. All other ministries will

  52. preach for the Hebrew and then the other side of the table preaches for the

  53. Greek. This is the only ministry you're ever going to run into, at

  54. least to my knowledge, we preach them both. We preach both the Hebrew

  55. and the Greek. This makes things very mechanical in nature when it comes to

  56. studying the Bible God's Holy Word. Take note that if you do a precursorary

  57. look of this subject, you will find that there are massive differences between the

  58. Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek Old Testament. We believe them both because we

  59. believe that they are data points in a stream. So we believe that one

  60. will be speaking and another one can be speaking literally or vice versa. And

  61. we will explain more about that when we get into our polysemic methodology of interpretation.

  62. So you're never going to hear anybody say that outside of this ministry the

  63. septuagen is true and the Hebrew is true. It's just they are giving you

  64. information about two different sets of data. So let's do this. So what

  65. is the Bible God's Holy Word? First, we're going to talk about the

  66. Bible itself. You need to know up front before you go any further.

  67. You need to know this. The Bible is inspired, it is in errant,

  68. and it is infallible. Once I say that, a great deal of

  69. many people will exit stage left right then, and you should. If you

  70. do not believe the Bible is God's Holy Word, please go somewhere else.

  71. Please don't waste your time, and don't waste my time. By all means,

  72. do not waste the Lord's time. Now, let's get to these specific

  73. data points. How is the Bible God's Holy Word in errant? Two Timothy

  74. Chapter three, Verses sixteen and seventeen all scripture is inspired by God and profitable

  75. for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training, and righteousness,

  76. so that a man of God may be adequate equipped for every good work.

  77. Period. This is why you will never hear me say that Paul wrote first

  78. Corinthians. You will never hear me say that Peter wrote Second Peter, the

  79. Holy Spirit wrote the Bible, God's Holy Word. Number two? How is

  80. it in errant? Well, that's easy, John seventeen seventeen. Sanctify in

  81. the true. Sanctify them in the truth. Your word is truth. Period.

  82. Let me read that one more time. Sanctify them in truth. Your

  83. word is truth. Number three? How is it infallible? What does infallible

  84. even mean? That means that the Bible is the eternal final authority. It

  85. is irrelevant of its place and time. Now this will provoke a whole lot

  86. of you. The Bible, God's Holy Word was not written in an ancient

  87. times, and what it says only pertains to first century Christians. No,

  88. it don't. It is infallible. Matthew chapter five, verse eight. For

  89. truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not

  90. the smallest letter nor stroke shall pass from the law until it is all accomplished

  91. John ten four and thirty five. Jesus answered him, has it not been

  92. written in your law? I said you were God's if he called them gods

  93. to whom the Word of God came, and the scriptures cannot be broken.

  94. First Peter chapter one, verses twenty three and twenty five. For you have

  95. been born again, not of this scene, which is perishable, but imperishable,

  96. that is, through the living and enduring Word of God. For all

  97. fleshes like grass and all its glory, like the flower of the grass.

  98. The grass withers and the flower falls off, but the Word of the Lord

  99. endures forever. And this is the word which was preached to you. So

  100. going forward, you need to know that we're not gonna argue about the KJV

  101. because it's not the Bible, God's Holy Word. We're not gonna argue about

  102. the New American Standard Bible or the English Standard Version. The Bible, God's

  103. Holy Word is written in Hebrew and Greek, and that's it. Now we're

  104. going to cross the barrier because people that say that they're wishy washy, and

  105. they don't present to you the manuscripts that are in fact the Bible, God's

  106. Holy Words. So let's start out with the Hebraica. This is what Maranatha

  107. Ministry calls the Complete Hebrew Bible. It is the Masoretic Text coupled with the

  108. Delitch New Testament that probably took you all by surprise. Who's this Delitch character?

  109. We will get to him here in a minute. The Masoretic Text comes

  110. to us basically via two different manuscripts. Number one is the Leningrad CODEXT.

  111. It is the oldest complete manuscript of the Hebrew Bible. It uses the Masoretic

  112. Text, and according to its publication statement, it was made in Cairo in

  113. the year one thousand and eight AD. Its companion manuscript is the Aleppo Codex,

  114. which was written in the Seri and the city of Tiberius in nine twenty

  115. eighty. Now, the problem with the Aleppo Codex is that parts of it

  116. have been missing since the nineteen forty seven anti Jewish riots in Aleppo. So

  117. roughly forty percent of the manuscript, which is basically the majority of the Pentateuch,

  118. was missing, and only two additional leaves have been recovered since then.

  119. So basically, during the Jewish riots and Aleppo in nineteen forty seven, someone

  120. stole the Torah. Of course I took you by surprise. Earlier I just

  121. said Pentituke. The Pentituk is its proper Christian terminology. It's the first five

  122. books. That's why it's called Pentituk. That comes from the Greek word for

  123. five. But the Hebrew roots people the Judaeist, which we are not.

  124. We are not Judaist, they call it Torah. So this is the Hebrew

  125. Old Testament. We couple that with the delicch New Testament. When I say

  126. that, most people are quite unaware that the Hebrew New Testament was constructed before

  127. the revival of the Hebrew language and instituted as the language of the modern day

  128. Israeli Empire. What I'm telling you is absolutely the facts of the matter.

  129. Delicious translation of the New Testament to Hebrew is from eighteen seventy seven. It

  130. is still considered the standard New Testament edition in Hebrew, and in its tenth

  131. edition it was revised by Arnold Ulrich at Deligius's insistence. The addition was intended

  132. to be used for a prosper among Jews. Later, it was revised by

  133. Gustav Dolman, with whom he shared a common interest in the evangilation, the

  134. evanangelization of the Jews. It is a miracle that these editions were composed before

  135. modern revival of the Hebrew language. So when you go to online sources,

  136. most sites will call this the modern Hebrew Bible. It's the Masoretic Text coupled

  137. with the delach New Testament and bam you have the Hebraica. Now, unfortunately,

  138. the Delitics New Testament has not been key too strong, So when I

  139. talk about that, I will key it to strongs for you. So you

  140. need to understand that what manuscript did Delits use to translate from well, he

  141. used the Adido Regia. Of course. Now it's time for us to talk

  142. about the complete Greek Bible, which Mabranatha Ministry calls the Hellenica. It is

  143. the Septuagen. Now, it's very important that we talk about this. What

  144. is the Septuagen. The Septuagen is sometimes referred to as the Greek Old Testament

  145. or the Translation of the seventy and is often abbreviated as l x X.

  146. It is the earliest extent Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible from the original Hebrew.

  147. The full Greek title derives from the story recorded that it was commissioned and

  148. seventy seventy Greek Hebrew scholars translated it. They took six from each of the

  149. twelve tribes of Israel. Now no one understand this. There are currently over

  150. two thousand classified Septus manuscripts arguing with it is basically pointless. A two thousand

  151. of these, the earliest one predates the manuscript that we have. The earliest

  152. manuscripts that we have for Hebrew, which once again is the Liningrad and the

  153. Aleppo Cotises a thousand years before them. We have copies of the Siptuagen from

  154. three hundred BC three hundred BC. Now you need to know this about that

  155. portion of the Greek. Take very special note in Daniel. Most online versions

  156. don't have the real Daniel. They have the fake Daniel. That is just

  157. the Hebrew translated by the Hebrews scholar Theodosian. I will tell you when I'm

  158. quoting from Daniel. I will give you the proper information, the proper translation.

  159. You can get a hold of the proper translation as it is provided for

  160. in the New Nets translation of the Septuagen which we have here. I strongly

  161. suggest to you get one. It is the new English translation of the Setuagen.

  162. It's also contained in the new translation of the Lexum septuagen. It also

  163. has the proper manuscript of Daniel. Now let's get to the Addo Regia.

  164. What is that? The eddal Regia? What is that translated? That means

  165. the Royal Edition. And you're going to find out here in a minute why

  166. it's royal. Is the third and most important edition of the Greek New Testament,

  167. composed by Robert Estein. Now why is this so important? This was

  168. done, These manuscripts were done from fifteen oh three to fifteen fifty nine.

  169. It is the most important representatives of the Texas Receptists. Take note, the

  170. Texas Receptist is not one manuscript. It is a group of manuscripts. This

  171. one is the perfected one. Okay, the first generation of printed editions and

  172. the Greek New Testament in history. The fifteen fifty one it's fourth edition used

  173. exactly the same text as the third, without critical apparatus, but the text

  174. is divided and numbered into verses for the first time in history. And the

  175. printed Greek or the printed text of the Greek New Testament was used for the

  176. Geneva Bible. So if you want to bounce any New Testament document off of

  177. the truth, get a hands get your hands on the Geneva Bible. That's

  178. what was used to translate the first Christian translation of the Bible. Because the

  179. KJV, that's the government translation of the Bible, was done by the government.

  180. The Geneva Bible is the first translation of the Church. It's the Church's

  181. first translation of the Bible. So this is what makes it special. Now,

  182. going beyond that, you need to know this that Stefanas. See his

  183. other name is Stefanas. They call him two different names outside of his proper

  184. name. This Stefani's edition of the fifteen fifty one. He plainly put into

  185. its notes that he had two secret manuscripts. He refused to either show the

  186. government or the church these two manuscripts. He labeled them as Iota Alpha and

  187. Iota Final Sigma. You'll never know, and he refused to let either the

  188. government or the church clergy get their hands on the manuscript to corrupt it.

  189. It's where you get your chapters and verses from. It is the inspired word

  190. of God. So now you have it. Now you have a complete apparatus

  191. by which you can study the Bible, God's Holy Word in each hand.

  192. One hand you've got the Hebraica. The other hand you've got the Hellenica,

  193. and the data contained therein will absolutely blow your mind. Now, the online

  194. resources that I use to study these manuscripts is called the Word program. But

  195. I'm not going to go on at length about that. I'm just letting you

  196. know which program I use. So from there. From there we need to

  197. get into what topics, what mode of interpretation? What does Meronatha ministries?

  198. How do we stand out from everybody else? A number one scenes, how

  199. we are basically preparing people for the Perugia of Christ, the second coming of

  200. Christ. The very first thing we need to do is talk about what is

  201. our eschatological view. There are basically we'll talk about a few first and foremost

  202. the things we are not. We do not hold to a historist eschatological view.

  203. What is that The historist told that the Book of Daniel and the Book

  204. of Revelation are basically timelines for the entire history. Now, most of them

  205. say that these timelines are events from the first century or the Apostolic age to

  206. present time. Basically this view has been abandoned because no one can agree on

  207. well, what was the trumpets? Was that World War Two? Was that

  208. the Napoleonic War? So basically no one is historist anymore. Now, next

  209. we have the futurists eschatological view. They view that most of the prophecies in

  210. Daniel and Revelation have not come true yet. They believe that it's said in

  211. the future. Next you have the pretorist eschatological view. What is that,

  212. Well, ladies and gentlemen, that is that's the approach that most, if

  213. not all, of the prophecies and Daniel Revelation are in the past. Basically

  214. they all all the prophecies were fulfilled in seventy a d. And the destruction

  215. of Jerusalem. That of course is not what we believe. Now, there

  216. are a few that are not total predtericist. They believe that we still have

  217. the return of Christ. We are none of those. There are also those

  218. who use the the symbolic eschatological view. It's all just symbology and none of

  219. it matters. It's all just symbolic. It really doesn't. It's not literal.

  220. So this is opposing a literal eschatological view. So I guess throwing that

  221. in there you now you have have a little bit of a taste of where

  222. we're going to have to go here in few minutes. What does this ministry

  223. preach. We preach an isochronal eschatological view. What on earth is isochronal?

  224. That usually gets people by surprise. They're usually like, wait a minute,

  225. I don't even understand what that word is. Well, ladies and gentlemen,

  226. the Bible is very clear. It is extremely clear on how time works.

  227. It's isochronal. You might have heard this terminology history repeats. Some people say

  228. history doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme that is true. When I'm going

  229. to prove to you it's true right from God's own mouth. So this is

  230. Ecclesiastes chapter one, verses nine and ten. That which has been is that

  231. which will be, and that which has been done is that which will be

  232. done. So there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of

  233. which one might say, see this is new? Already it has existed for

  234. ages which were before us. Ecclesiastes chapter nine, verse fifteen. That which

  235. has already been and that which will be, has already been. For God

  236. seeks what has passed by These two verses prove emphatically time is isochronal. Let's

  237. do Isaiah chapter forty six, verses eight and ten or eight through ten.

  238. Remember this and be assured. Recall it to mind, you transgressors, remember

  239. the former things long past. For I am God, and there is no

  240. other. I am God, and there is no one like me, declaring

  241. the end from the beginning and from ancient times which have not been done,

  242. saying MY purpose will be accomplished, and I will accomplish my good pleasure.

  243. Right here in Isaiah chapter forty six, God loudly declares that he does things

  244. over and over and over when he prophesies them. They are reoccurring events.

  245. You all know this to be true, don't you. Now you have a

  246. lot of eschatological teachers today they call this partial fulfillment of prophetic events. No,

  247. that's a joke. That's calling God a liar. From Ecclesiastes and Isaiah,

  248. how many times was the temple destroyed? Yes, ladies and gentlemen,

  249. I was destroyed more than once, because that is an isochronal event. It's

  250. isochronal. Once you understand this is how eschatology works. You can look before

  251. to see what will be. And that's exactly what God said in the first

  252. person tense. He was speaking in the first person tense. They're in Ecclesiastes.

  253. That's what he is going to do. That's what he did do.

  254. That's what is going to be done. So take note all those other forms

  255. of eschatological views. We are none of them. So you have got a

  256. whole lot to learn. Take for example, you all know that when Israel

  257. was invaded by Sinakaru, what happened. An angel took out one hundred and

  258. eighty five thousand Assyrians. Right, let's jump to the next time in that

  259. isochronal event. Another time of that isochronal event was in seventy eight. Guess

  260. what it was the Assyrian That's what I said, Assyrian, because the Roman

  261. twelfth Legion was comprised of Assyrians. It was in what you call modern Turkey

  262. right now. It was the Assyrian twelfth Roman Legion. It was completely eradicated.

  263. And you all need to know that this is where that famous movie come

  264. from, where the Roman standard, where the Roman Eagle was taken. Please

  265. look this up. It's a historical fact. Who did it. Did an

  266. angel do it? No, one of the rebels did it. One of

  267. the Jewish leaders did it. So this is where history does not repeat exactly.

  268. It rhymes through shadow and silhouette. What I'm telling you is true.

  269. And if you didn't know that, you need to get excited, not be

  270. disparaged about studying Bible prophecies over the last twenty years and all of a sudden

  271. having to learn new things because as schatology's isochronal. We believe in isochronology because

  272. that's what God says. When you realize that, oh, my goodness,

  273. does it expound a whole lot of things that you can learn. So having

  274. said that, all right, you also need to know what type of interpretation

  275. we use. Okay, there are four basic types of interpretation of the scripture.

  276. Now take note they're also called the four senses of Scripture, and they

  277. are basically put together in a really neat Latin rhyme from the Middle Ages.

  278. It goes as such. The literal teaches what God and our ancestors did.

  279. The allegory is where our faith and belief is hid. The moral meaning gives

  280. us the rule of daily life, and the anagogy shows us where we end

  281. our strife. So that's a real complicated word there. Really, let's throw

  282. that word away. It really means spiritual. That anagogy, that's what that

  283. means. Basically means the spiritual or some people call it mystical translation. Let's

  284. talk about these for a minute. So some people say that prophecy is literal,

  285. and I really don't need to elaborate on that. You know what literal

  286. means. Then people say that it's all allegory, connecting the events of the

  287. Old Testament and the New Testament, particularly drawing allegorical connections between events in Christ's

  288. life with the stories of the Old Testament. So it's just all allegory.

  289. Number three, the moral interpretation is just the moral of the story. It's

  290. just basically a bunch of acept fables. Next that one that used that great

  291. big word anagogic. Okay, it means the spiritual or mystical. Why,

  292. well, that explains the biblical events or matters of this world so that they

  293. relate to the life to come. For instance, the Jordan River is interpreted

  294. it is interpreted as the river of death, and by crossing it you enter

  295. into the heavenly Canaan. So literally, the river Jordan means the river sticks.

  296. And if you cross it, you're not literally crossing into Canaan, you're

  297. entering into Heaven and the Promised Land. So this is the spiritual or mystical

  298. interpretation. What are we? Are we any of that? No, of

  299. course not, what are we? We're polycenic? What does that mean?

  300. Did I take you by surprise? Because this is the first first time you've

  301. ever heard a Bible teacher speak the truth. Polysemic means it means more than

  302. one thing. That is exactly what is happening in the confines of the scripture.

  303. We can we can go there and use one example from the most famous

  304. prophetic book, of course, the Book of Revelation itself. Let's go there,

  305. and let's take a look about what it talks about the Lord Jesus Christ.

  306. Now take note that here it states in Revelation chapter five, and I

  307. saw between the throne with the four living creatures and the elders, a lamb

  308. standing as if it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes,

  309. which are the seven spirits of God sent into all the earth. He came

  310. and took the book out of the right hand of him who sat on the

  311. throne. When he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the

  312. twenty four elders fell down before the lamb, each one holding a harp and

  313. golden bones full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And

  314. they sang a new song, saying, worthy are you to take the book

  315. and break the seals? For you were slain and purchased for God. With

  316. your blood from the men, every tribe and tongue and people in nation.

  317. You have made them to be a kingdom and priest to our God, and

  318. they will reign upon the earth. This absolutely proves that eschatology is polysemic,

  319. and only upon a polysemic interpretation may be applied to the Bible, God's Holy

  320. Word. Because here the lamb is most definitely literally the Lord Jesus Christ.

  321. No one will debate that with you, Even your most staunch heretics will put

  322. their tails between their legs and tell you, Yeah, the lamb being talked

  323. about here is Jesus Christ. So I just proved you. I just blasted

  324. all of your preconceived notions right off their hinges. The proper interpretation of scripture

  325. is polysemic. That's what it is. It's polysemic. So that probably once

  326. again has rattled your cage. And I understand that. I understand that these

  327. things can be quite overwhelming. Some other things we need to talk about.

  328. This ministry covers celestial semiology. Please look that up for yourself. What does

  329. semiology mean. It means the study of symbols. Celestial means what's over your

  330. head celestial things is celestial objects. Take note the Bible repeatedly states this.

  331. Take note that in Micah chapter five, verse one, that is the sign

  332. of the strike, that is the constellation of Orion. Yes, it is

  333. it most definitely and is emphatically the sign of the strike. Based on Micah

  334. chapter five, verse one, that verse says that the lion of Judah will

  335. receive a strike upon the cheek. Take a look at what the constellations or

  336. Ryan is. Or Ryan is supposed to be holding a club, and he

  337. has a lion's club in his hand, and he's striking the lions cub on

  338. the cheek. Look it up. I know you've never heard this before.

  339. Most of you have probably heard a lot of Judaists teach about the Masarrath.

  340. Well, I just told you something that they never told you. I'm going

  341. to tell you why the sign of the strike is so important, because that's

  342. the point in the heaven where the equator and the ecliptic are the farthest apart.

  343. You're shutting your shocked. Well what does that mean? Well, you

  344. know that biblical phrase that says one end of the heavens from the other.

  345. You need to look these things up and learn them for yourself. What's the

  346. equator? What's the eclipse? I don't have time to do that. Now,

  347. let's go to the other end of the heavens. That is according to

  348. Second Thesalonians, Chapter two, verses six and seven, that's the sign of

  349. the restrainer. Like, what, why is that so important? The sign

  350. of the restrainer? Also, is that magical point that's on the opposite side

  351. of the heavens where the ecliptic is the farthest away from the equator. You

  352. need to know that is existentially important to Bible prophecy and millennial mechanics. Well,

  353. I mean by millennial mechanics. You might want to check out my book

  354. that I've published, Tara Rectus. It will explain to you exactly what the

  355. configuration or our cosmology will be in the millennial reign of Christ. So take

  356. note, you have two signs in the heavens that no one's ever told you

  357. about, even though they were, you know, specialized, these these ministries

  358. do. One of the big big things that were around us of late was

  359. the you know, the Revelation twelve sign. Well, if they were talking

  360. to you about celestial semiology and they didn't tell you about the two most important

  361. signs in the heavens being the sign of the strike or Ryan and the sign

  362. of the restrainer, that being Ophiucus. Get excited. You've got a lot

  363. to learn because the Bible has a lot to teach. Lists, move on,

  364. we have more things to talk about. We also discuss biblical mechanics.

  365. What is biblical mechanics. I've already stated that the Bible, God's Holy Word

  366. is a binary source code and it's perfect. Now take note, we have

  367. received sixty six books of the Bible. Now you're all getting upset because wait

  368. a minute, the septulogen has more books. Now we're talking about the Bible

  369. houts put together mechanically into our final form of sixty six books. Take note

  370. that there is a website that I have constructed called Biblical Mechanics dot WordPress dot

  371. com. It will give you the things I'm getting ready to talk about.

  372. You know that the Lord Jesus Christ was wrapped in swaddling clothes. One of

  373. the very first things we do is practice wrapping the Old Testament around the New

  374. Testament chapters. It's called the chapter rap. Why do we do this?

  375. When you take a look at the chart and line up the chapters that rap

  376. against each other, guess what. You study those chapters, and those chapters

  377. will shed light on each other. It is a mode. It is a

  378. methodology of Bible study. It's a very intriguing. It's a very addictive way

  379. to get people to start studying God's word. It will quickly get people out

  380. of their bad habits of watching Monday night football, let's say, or gambling.

  381. It's a way to mechanically study the Bible, and it's quite wondrous.

  382. Indeed, we also have the Synoptic rap. What is that? You can

  383. get additional chapters to this rap because I have devised away. You take the

  384. four Synoptic Gospels, take the New Testament chapters and wrap them around that I've

  385. probably just blown a lot of your minds. But you need to know this

  386. upfront because in upcoming podcast I will talk about these things and you need to

  387. be able to reference them. Take this down. It is Biblical Mechanics dot

  388. WordPress dot com, Freesight a lot of these other things. If you'd like

  389. to read some of my work, I also have MM twelve sixty dot WordPress

  390. dot com, MM one two six zero dot WordPress dot com. Now we

  391. are going to talk about another mechanical thing that we do. Well, perhaps

  392. it would be better if I talked a little bit more about the biblical Biblical

  393. mechanics aspect. Also, you need to know that we use the strongs numbers

  394. in biblical mechanics. That is to say, there is a seven hundred and

  395. twenty chapter in the Bible. If you go to the strongs seven twenty any

  396. either the Hebrew and the Greek, you can do prophetic studies on those numbers.

  397. So remember what the strongs does. It goes through alphabetically the Hebrew language

  398. and the Greek language, and it assigns a number in alphabet and alphabetical order

  399. as they appear in the Hebrew and the Greek. You can widely use this

  400. for biblical mechanics. Now we're going to talk about another thing that this ministry

  401. partakes in, and that is alphanumerics. Is alphanumerics, well, it means

  402. that every letter has a numerical value. I'm going to tell you this up

  403. front. Many people say this is witchcraft, they call it gomatria. No

  404. it's not. It's not witchcraft. It's how you get the number six six

  405. six. So the Bible, God's Holy Word repeatedly uses alphanumerics. That's how

  406. you get six sixty six. That is just three Greek letters. And I'm

  407. going to tell you why most American Christians do not know. There was no

  408. such thing as Arabic numerals Ladies and gentlemen, Arabic numerals of one, two,

  409. and three. Those were invented in the seven hundreds by Fibonacci. I'm

  410. not lying to you. So the Masoretic Text and the coin of the of

  411. Greek text, they don't have ones in zero s alpha numerics. I'm going

  412. to prove this to you because when I teach Hebrew, I teach out of

  413. a practical grammar of classical Hebrew. The second Edition by J. Wingreen let

  414. me say that again. When I teach Hebrew, this is what I teach

  415. it out of. You need to get yourself a copy. On page one.

  416. This is page one. It has a graph that has four columns in

  417. it. Let me read the Hebrew alphabet. The Hebrew alphabet consists of twenty

  418. two consonants. They are The first column shows the Hebrew letter, the second

  419. column shows the name of that letter, the third column presents its transliteration,

  420. and the fourth column guess what is marked its numerical value. This is page

  421. one. You cannot learn Biblical Hebrew with that first learning the numerical value of

  422. each of the letters, because it does not have ones and twos and threes.

  423. The Bible, God's Holy Word always only practiced alphanumerics. It never had

  424. Arabic numerals in it. Ever. Now that usually takes people by complete surprise,

  425. So know more about that. Moving on, you need to know that

  426. this ministry we practice fulfillment theology. We are not Zionists. What does that

  427. mean? This is usually a shock to people's system. Nearly every church in

  428. the West has been infected with Zionism, and that is the truth. The

  429. fact of the matter is is that Romans chapters nine, ten, and eleven

  430. plainly state that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is Israel. It is

  431. Israel. You are Israel. Yes, you are literally speaking. That's what

  432. all three chapters state, and they state at point blank. Now that's usually

  433. quite a shock to people's system. Let me read a couple of verses from

  434. Romans chapter two. This is true. This is from the Bible, God's

  435. holy word. For he is not a Jew who is won outwardly, nor

  436. is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. But he is a Jew

  437. who is won inwardly. And circumcision is that which is of the heart by

  438. the spirit, not by the letter. And his praise is not from men,

  439. but from God. Period. It's that thing, and it's no other

  440. thing. Praise be the Lord Jesus Christ and our Father in Heaven. So

  441. you need to take a note. You need to get familiar with the Greek

  442. word gene forty one thirty eight in your strong concordance. It's plema plema.

  443. It means to fulfill. This is the Greek word used in Romans chapter eleven,

  444. verses twelve and twenty five. Look, ladies and gentlemen, why is

  445. this important? You need to know that there is a huge futurist sect.

  446. Okay, So they believe that all the prophecies in Daniel and Revelation our future.

  447. We too believe that they are future. But they're isochronal, they're reoccurring,

  448. okay, And they are called dispensationalist. And dispensationalism was invented to present

  449. the Jews with the way of salvation outside of the Lord Jesus Christ. Does

  450. that upset you because it upsets me. You need to understand. This is

  451. why the pre tribulation of rapture was invented. This is what they actually say.

  452. They say that we will be raptured, We Christians will be raptured before

  453. the tribulation. During the tribulation God the Father. Remember we read that in

  454. Revelation chapter five, he who setteth upon the throne, whom the land took

  455. the scroll from. They say that he who setteth upon the throne makes a

  456. special deal with the Jews for the three and a half year tribulation and they

  457. don't have to accept Jesus. They get a get out of jail free card.

  458. I'm going to tell you what that is. That's heresy. No jew

  459. is ever going to be saved outside of the Lord Jesus Christ. I'm going

  460. to say the same thing about Russians. No Russian is ever going to get

  461. saved outside of the Lord Jesus Christ. No African is ever going to be

  462. saved outside of the Lord Jesus Christ. And you can be sure to take

  463. this to the bank. No American will ever be saved without the Lord Jesus

  464. Christ. So you need to know. That's why they invented dispensationalism. Moving

  465. on, you also need to know about our geology, about our cosmology.

  466. Ladies and gentlemen. This ministry practices and holds to truth. That truth is

  467. also geological. That is to say, if you have been misled down a

  468. road where the earth is flat, you need to go somewhere else and not

  469. waste your time and my time, and more importantly, don't waste God's time

  470. running around preaching that the earth is flat. Just go somewhere else. Another

  471. thing that I'm going to have to talk about is usually the litmus test for

  472. those people who claim to believe the Bible God's Holy Word is now remember the

  473. Big Three, the only three, because it's just a trinity. The Bible

  474. is inspired, inspired, it is in errit and it is infallible. This

  475. is a litmus test. Women are not permitted to be ordained. Well,

  476. I say the best for last, didn't I. If you're a preacher and

  477. you're claiming that the Bible's true, yet let you allow women clergy. You're

  478. denying that the Bible is God's Holy Word because it states emphatically in First Corinthians

  479. Chapter eleven, verses two through sixteen, First Corinthians Chapter fourteen, verses thirty

  480. four and thirty five, First Timothy Chapter two, verses eleven through fourteen,

  481. First Timothy Chapter three, verses one through seven, and Titus Chapter one,

  482. verses five through nine, that women may not be in authority, they may

  483. not be clergy. Does that mean they can't be Sunday school teachers? No,

  484. Sunday school teacher is not clergy. Now we could run down the long

  485. list. This is the litmus test as to whether you believe the Bible is

  486. God's Holy Word or not. It really is. And if you don't believe

  487. it to be the Bible God's Holy Word, please don't waste your time because

  488. you're going to try to come to Marinautha ministries and argue with people. If

  489. what's coming out of your mouth cannot be proved with the Bible God's Holy Word,

  490. it in effect does not exist. You're making it up for your own

  491. pleasure. You're using is of Jesus. You have what you want, what

  492. pleasures you want, fulfilled, what you want to do, and you try

  493. to twist scripture and find out versus that support what you believe. That's isa

  494. Jesus. We conduct only exa Jesus here. We tell you exactly what the

  495. Bible, God's Holy Word says. We'll tell it to you in the Hebrew

  496. and the Greek. Don't worry about using a garbish English translation, because that's

  497. not what we do here. Remember when I quote to you the Greek,

  498. I don't care if the KJV says, if it's not in the Adido Regia

  499. manuscript, it's a lie. So we have talked about a lot of highly

  500. complicated things that you all need to know these things up front. I don't

  501. want people coming here arguing for a you know, dispensationalism, Just don't it's

  502. heresy. The Jews will accept Jesus or they be damned. Same for Italians

  503. Germans. If you don't accept the Lord Jesus Christ, you'll be damned.

  504. And maybe that's another thing we should talk about. Hell is eternal. Hell

  505. is eternal. Yes, the Bible, God's Holy Word says that the smoke

  506. of your torment will go up forever endeavor. There is no temporary punishment in

  507. purgatory. Purgatory is made up. That's not real. There's one other thing

  508. we need to talk about, now that it has come to my mind.

  509. Where are we out in the gifts of the spirit. There are two types

  510. of people. There are secessionist They believe that the gifts of the spirit stopped

  511. in the first century, second century sometimes like that. They call it the

  512. Apostolic age. They say it ended there. That's what secessionists say. Then

  513. there are continuationists. That's what we are. We believe. No, No,

  514. I hate saying that. I know. I don't believe. That's lame.

  515. I know the Bible, God's Holy Word. You don't have to try

  516. to explain to me what you think it says. I know what it says.

  517. So I know that the gifts of the spirit are still in operation to

  518. this very day. Yes, yes they are. Does that mean this ministry

  519. is charismatic, so we practice babbling. No, there is no babbling because

  520. the Bible, God's Holy Word says that it is languages, it's languages.

  521. It proves this in the instance where other people were in the presence of those

  522. speaking in tongues and they said, hey, we hear them in our own

  523. language. That's what speaking in tongues is. It's not going, it's not

  524. babbling. It is a literal language spoken on planet Earth. So if you

  525. have any further questions, you just need to contact Maranatha Ministries. The reason

  526. why I did this introductory episode was to make sure that the people coming here

  527. did not waste their time. If they were staunch KJV only rapturist, if

  528. they were staunch reformed predtterist, it just nips you in the bud. We

  529. follow the Bible God's Holy Word here. We don't argue. You're not going

  530. to provide any entertainment to the members of Maranatha Ministry coming here writing paragraph long

  531. copy and paste comments arguing about the pre tribulational rapture or the simple fact that

  532. you're a heretic. You say that the millennial reign of Christ is figurative and

  533. we're in the millennial reign of Christ right now. No, no, that

  534. makes you a heretic. Christ is coming back and he will most certainly rule

  535. and reign on this planet for a thousand years. Yes, he's going to

  536. and you're going to experience it, by the way, So that's why I

  537. did this. I'm going to close with prayer, and I'm going to tell

  538. you something that is probably going to be a shock to your system. When

  539. the Lord Jesus Christ started the Lord's Prayer, he said our He didn't mean

  540. yours and mine, ladies and gentlemen. He started the Lord's prayer our father.

  541. He meant himself and you. So I'm getting ready to say the Lord's

  542. prayer. And when I say our father, I mean Jesus's father, and

  543. my father and your father. Now I'm going to push you to remember what

  544. I just read a few minutes ago in Revelation chapter five. It's very distinct

  545. that means, yes, ladies and gentlemen, we are trinitarians. Very important

  546. that we talk about this before the end of the episode, because it is

  547. plain and to the text in Revelation chapter five that Jesus Christ did one in

  548. verse seven, and he came and took the book out of the right hand,

  549. and of him who satteth, or him who sat on the throne.

  550. There is God, the Father, God, the Son, God, the

  551. Holy Spirit. But you need to know before I say the Lord's prayer.

  552. Our means Jesus and ours. It's our Father. This is how you get

  553. your inheritance. If you can, please pray with me our Father, who

  554. are in heaven. Hallowed be thy name, Thy Kingdom, Come, and

  555. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this

  556. day our daily bread, and forgive us our trust passes, as we forgive

  557. those who have truspassed against us. And lead us not unto temptation, but

  558. deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the

  559. Glory forever. Amen. Last, but not least, you need to know

  560. this. This is my closing comments. This ministry practices holiness. We do

  561. not believe. We absolutely reject Antinomian free grace. The Lord Jesus Christ can

  562. save you from your sins. I have special insight to this because I volunteered

  563. at Shepherd Community homeless shelter, and I saw many alcoholics get saved from their

  564. alcoholism. I saw many prostitutes get saved from their prostitution. I saw many

  565. heroin addicts saved from their heroin addiction. That is to say, these people

  566. stop drinking, they stop selling their bodies for sex, and they stop taking

  567. heroin. The Lord Jesus Christ save them from their sins. Antinomian. It

  568. comes from the word which means against the law. These people believe you don't

  569. have to follow the Ten Commandments in order to enter heaven. They also believe

  570. you don't have to follow the beatitudes. They call it's free grace. It's

  571. just also called believism. You just believe in Jesus and you can whore and

  572. pillage and rape and murder your way into the Kingdom of heaven. That is

  573. a lie. Here at Maranatha Ministries. You need to know that we hold

  574. to the biblical doctrine of holiness. Yes we do, that's what we hold

  575. to. Now take note, I'm gonna read first John chapter three, verse

  576. ten. By this, the children of God and the children are devil are

  577. obvious. Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God. Nor the

  578. one who does not love his brother. Period. If you're a liar,

  579. You're not a Christian. You're a liar. If you steal, you're not

  580. a Christian, You're a thief. If you are committing adultery against your spouse,

  581. you're not a Christian. You're an adulterer, which leads up to another

  582. point we need to talk about. You can consider this a ps to the

  583. episode. This is the PostScript. We believe, no, we know,

  584. we know. The truth is this marriage is only between one man and one

  585. woman period, in indefinite fidelity, one to another. Just that. For

  586. this, I'll let you know. That's how this ministry is based. I've

  587. been married to my wife for thirty two years. We have six children.

  588. We only have children together because we have we have done in definite fidelity.

  589. I don't know any other woman, and my wife knows no other man in

  590. the biblical sense. If you are excited about further broadcast, I am thankful.

  591. If I've made you gnash your teeth, please go get entertained, because

  592. here you're only going to be edified. This ministry will only indefinitely consistently edify

  593. you by instructing you as to what the Bible, God's Holy Word actually says.

  594. Until next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless, godspeed. Thank

  595. you for listening to Marinath the Ministries with Matthew Miller. I appreciate you tuning

  596. in. For more information, stop by and visit us at patreon dot com,

  597. backslash Matthew Miller, or you can correspond to us via snail mail by

  598. writing to PO Box zero two four reader, North Dakota five eight six four

  599. nine. Now, if you are a God fearing, Bible believing, Gospel

  600. preaching Christian, please repeat after me, I pledge allegiance to the Bible,

  601. God's Holy Word. I will make it a lamp unto my feet and a

  602. light and to my path. It's yours. Will I hide in my heart

  603. that I might not sin against God? An act pas
