  1. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the program. We are your host

  2. Jose and myself Matthew. Today we are going to do a little bit of

  3. an in depth of Bible study with things that you know really everything about,

  4. but it takes further study because you have to look for these events to be

  5. referenced somewhere else in the New Testament for you to figure out where their origin

  6. is coming from, because it turns it into this random event into a prophetic

  7. event that was scheduled to happen at some point in time. So with that

  8. in mind, I think I'm going to lead us out in prayer and Jose

  9. shall finish this time. So let's go to the Lord in prayer. You're

  10. heavenly Father, thank you so much for the opportunity you've given to Jose and

  11. I to edify your children. And thank you so much for the children of

  12. the Promise. Thank you so much for choosing them. Thank you so much

  13. for drawing them to your son. For your son, the Lord Jesus Christ

  14. is faithful and he has saved them. And thank you so much for calling

  15. them according to your purpose. So thank you so much for this marvelous opportunity

  16. for Jose and I to identify your children. And I pray that you you

  17. use this program, whether here live or in the archive, whether video or

  18. audio, please use it to touch their hearts in a way that only you

  19. can do. So, as you are he who sitteth upon the throne.

  20. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we pray, Amen and Amen

  21. Amen. All right, ladies and gentlemists, let's just talk about this the

  22. topic at hand. You know, Jose, everybody knows about the Voice from

  23. Heaven, right, Yes. I mean you can basically get in any church

  24. or any Sunday school class and say, hey, somebody, raise your hand

  25. and tell me about when the voice came from heaven. And sometimes they won't

  26. know both times, if they're not really familiar with the Bible, they don't

  27. realize that happened twice. But everybody knows that there was a time when God

  28. spoke from heaven and announced that, Hey, Jesus's got the sun. He

  29. doesn't anounce it. Yes, and you know, but if you get somebody

  30. that's that's at least familiar with the Biblical text back, you know, front

  31. to back, they know these two instances about the baptism and the transfiguration,

  32. two really big events, two really big events. So most of them will

  33. know that story. However, when they get to the reference in second Peter,

  34. it kind of goes right over their head, right, because like,

  35. you know, why are we redoing this? This is just rehashing old information.

  36. It's just a side no right right, But boy, it's that side

  37. note. It takes you right to the source. So you know, when

  38. you were growing up, what did you learn about this voice from heaven?

  39. What was told you this something special? Was it? Was it part of

  40. the Bible prophecy? What were you talking about? This voice from heaven?

  41. So obviously we see it when when Jesus starts his ministry, when he's baptized

  42. by John the Baptists, and as he's coming out, the Holy Spirit descends

  43. on him from heaven, and then you have God speaking that voice saying,

  44. this is my son in whom I am well pleased, right um. And

  45. so when I was younger, I don't know, I mean, and I

  46. hate saying this, Matthew, but it's almost like that voice for secondary in

  47. my thinking, because all I thought about was the Holy Spirit, that dove

  48. descending. You had all these pictures in the church. And so that's what

  49. I saw, and that's what my mind heard when I when I when when

  50. I read through that in the Gospels or when it was read in church.

  51. Um. And so this even kind of came up, um. You know,

  52. a couple of weeks ago where I had someone questioned me about, you

  53. know, whether Jesus in Egypt until he was thirty two years old before he

  54. started his ministry and he went to Tibet and India and all these kind of

  55. kind of legends that pop around how Jesus got his spiritual powers right, And

  56. I had to point to them, you know, I said, first of

  57. all, where where the Bible says when he actually came back into Judea,

  58. right right right after Herod the Great was dead, they came back. Okay,

  59. so he's not thirty two. And then he gets his powers from the

  60. Holy Spirit. Okay, that says it right here after his baptized boom,

  61. then his ministry starts. Okay, not only is he, uh, you

  62. know, the son of God, but hey, he's got the Holy Spirit

  63. now, so he's able to to do all do the work of God and

  64. do all these great things that help him people and you know, leading everyone

  65. to his father. So again that's what we see because it's the Holy Spirit

  66. that's actually you know, acting on earth and actually enabling him to perform these

  67. miracles and to you know, um, do these great things to start his

  68. church. And so unless you know that that saying that God says it's prophetic,

  69. you kind of skip over at Matthew, it's obviously God's speaking should be

  70. like God was to you know, speak from the heaven right now, would

  71. you know, probably knock us dead because because we wouldn't be able to handle

  72. it. But I don't know why. It kind of takes takes a back

  73. seat to what to what the Holy Spirit comes down and does. But if

  74. you know where it is prophetically, then you know how how important it was

  75. for God to do that. How it was actually an important step in Jesus

  76. beginning. Um kind of like when God spoke everything to exist sense okay,

  77. when when he did creation, none of that would have happened unless He would

  78. have given the command. And it's the same thing with Jesus and his ministry.

  79. He wouldn't have started unless God told him Okay, now you can start,

  80. because he's been he's been you know, toiling around as a carpenter's son

  81. for thirty years, you know, kind of putting up with that, uh,

  82. that lowliness, studying, being obedient, knowing that his time would come.

  83. And so when when God basically kicks that start gun off, then then

  84. he starts and then and then he begins to gather his disciples, and then

  85. he begins to go throughout and try to to go first to the Jews and

  86. then spread that gospel to the gentile. So it's it's it's critical, but

  87. I think that that prophetic understanding is going to help cement how critical it is.

  88. Matthew. Wow, you you said a lot there, um and I

  89. appreciate everything you said right from the beginning, because when you get these visualizations,

  90. especially as a young child in Sunday school class, that's what you remember.

  91. You remember the visualization, You remember the dove. That's the importance part.

  92. And of course it triggers remembrances in me because I know that Greek word

  93. it's erkle May. Once the father connected with the son because the Holy Spirit

  94. erical May in Greek, descended upon him. It made this real, live

  95. connection between the light switch and the light bulb. You know, that's when

  96. the light comes on. Is that's when he was energized. So I appreciate

  97. that you said that in that way, that yeah, when you when you

  98. visualize it, you just kind of, I know, the voice is really

  99. unimportant. It's the dove that's important. And it's amazing that that you make

  100. that connection there and it makes it reconfigures my whole thought process. I'm amazed

  101. that you've remembered that as a child, that you know that's the cool part

  102. where you know, the dove comes down. Let's talk about the other time

  103. in the transfiguration. What's the important part. I mean, nobody mentions the

  104. voice. They mentioned the cool stuff. They mentioned who Yeah, Moses and

  105. Elijah. Right, yes, you see the visualization. He's not only transfigured,

  106. but instead of of seeing the Holy Spirit, you get to see Moses

  107. and Elijah, And hey, how cool is that? And it's like the

  108. voice is put back in the corner. And now that I say that,

  109. this reference in second Peter, it really is the corner, isn't it.

  110. God has kind of pushed it back into the corner. So only if you're

  111. seeking it, only if you're chasing after the importance of this event. Do

  112. you realize in the Greek that hey, God's saying that a whole lot more

  113. than you think he is, and he's doing things in Greek that you're just

  114. not going to believe it until you see it. And you can't do this

  115. in English. Man, I'm so sorry to say that, but you can't

  116. do this in English. And if you're going to study it in the Greek,

  117. Jose, you and I both know you're not going to go to Second

  118. Peter to study it in Greek. You're going to go to the baptism.

  119. Let's read the Baptism. Let's start tearing this all apart in Greek. Right,

  120. But guess what this is true, Jose. Under normal circumstances, if

  121. you and I was going to do a scholarly research of the Voice from Heaven,

  122. we'd go to the Baptism, we'd go to Transfiguration. We'd never go

  123. to Second Peter, would we, right right, we would never look at

  124. that in Greek. There's no reason too. It's just a footnote. So

  125. it really does take you by surprise when you do see it. When,

  126. for let us say, for other reasons, you're looking at Second Peter and

  127. take no, you know, no doubt about it. Second Peter is full

  128. of controversy, right, yes, I mean it is talks about angels,

  129. it talks about this, it talks about that. So really, in this

  130. reference here inside the controversy of Second Peter, that's that's nothing. It's nothing.

  131. So I'm gonna read this and in English, and we're gonna do sixteen,

  132. seventeen and eighteen of Second Peter, chapter one. And take note,

  133. ladies and gentlemen, this has literally been pushed back in the corner because,

  134. like I said, a scholar, if he was going to study the Voice

  135. from Heaven, you wouldn't do it here. This is just a footnote reference

  136. referring you back to the actual text. Right. Well, the problem is

  137. when you look at this in Greek, the texting question is not in Matthew,

  138. it's not in Mark, it's not in Luker's not in job. It's

  139. actually another place. But anyway, I get really excited about God's words.

  140. So let's just read this here New American Standard Bible, the ninety five update,

  141. as is the mainstay of this ministry, For we did not follow cleverly

  142. devised tales. When we've made known to you the hour and the umming of

  143. our Lord Jesus Christ. But we were eyewitnesses of his majesty, for when

  144. he received honor and glory from God the Father, such an utterance as this

  145. was made to him by the majestic glory. This is my beloved son,

  146. with who I'm well pleased, And we ourselves heard disutterance made from heaven when

  147. we were with him on the Holy Mountain. You think, on the surface,

  148. you're not going to learn anything here, because this is just it's just

  149. referring to something else. I mean, if you're gonna learn anything, you're

  150. gonna have to go to the baptism, right, or you're gonna have to

  151. go to the transfiguration right right. I mean, there is the off chance

  152. that you know you're setting everything you're saying, Well, it's not the only

  153. time God speaks from heaven, right, because what about when this voice came

  154. from heaven in the Book of Daniel. What about John chapter twelve, verse

  155. twenty eight. And you know a lot of people make reference of this starting

  156. in verse twenty seven. Now, my soul has become troubled, and what

  157. shall I say, Father saved me from this hour. But for this purpose

  158. I came this hour. Father glorify your name. Then a voice came out

  159. of heaven. I have both glorified it, and I will glorify it again.

  160. And of course next verse mentions an angel. Right, so you might

  161. even jump into this and start studying this. But jose, you know what's

  162. your thoughts about these three verses in second Peter and what lies beneath the surface?

  163. So here it's it's not even a reference. I mean, obviously it

  164. is what we're going to dig into that. But on his on the surface,

  165. it's not like normal um calls to Jesus's um um to his his second

  166. coming is not it's not the normal way that they would say the Jeus is

  167. God because this is what this prophet said, and so that's why Jesus fulfilled

  168. it. So that's why he is God. Right, that's how normally we

  169. see in the Gospel a lot of times when we'll see that this one is

  170. there saying God himself, We heard God himself from heaven saying this is his

  171. son. That's why we know he is the Messiah, he is the Christ.

  172. He is the one that God has annointed as is king. And that's

  173. why, um, the rest of our testimony is true. We're not.

  174. We're not making stuff up. We're not. Um. You know, this

  175. wasn't things that we're tying together, scriptures that were tying together to to make

  176. it look like like, you know, Jesus rose from the dead and ascended

  177. into heaven. No, this directly from God the Father. He is the

  178. one that you know. There's no denying it, Matthew. I mean,

  179. I don't know how else to say it. Um. It's like it's like

  180. you could I could look up all the the law books to figure out,

  181. you know what, what what weight that if what I'm doing is right or

  182. not. Or I could have a judge himself speaking from the bed saying yes,

  183. you're allowed to do that, and that that's what we're getting here.

  184. God himself said this is my son. Um. You know everything that you've

  185. been that he's been teaching you and telling you, and you've been reading the

  186. Old Testament, Yes it's true. And here I'm just putting my stamper approval

  187. on it. Um. So that's what I'm getting from those set of versus

  188. Matthew. Again, this is like like an authoritative voice that's that's saying this,

  189. this is true, This is it absolutely, Um, you're right.

  190. It's in these three verse as you get you. Yeah. It's kind of

  191. like the port the court proceedings that is the Book of Hebrews. It gets

  192. the same field. This is a legal statement, and it's very worthy,

  193. it's very exact. You can't debate this. There's no gray area in these

  194. three verses. As their jose, no, no, it's no debate.

  195. We heard that. We're not talking about second half it. They were there,

  196. right, Peter was physically there, and not only was there, there

  197. was other people with him. And he's saying, no, no, no,

  198. this is beyond contestation. We heard the voice from heaven. So this

  199. puts it in a whole different light. And when you tear this apart in

  200. the Greek, you come across this magnificent word here. Let's try this in

  201. the KJV, and the KJV it says, m yeah, well it's it's

  202. wordy in itself. It says a voice to him from the excellent glory.

  203. Is that two words? No, it's not two words. It's not excellent

  204. glory. I don't know why you would translate this. Let's try the New

  205. American Standard Bible says majestic glory. Still it's not. That's not what's going

  206. on in here. I mean, majestic is a way to translate this word,

  207. but that's not what you would do. I mean this is a a

  208. closed double compound word in Greek megaloprepez. That's what it is. Now,

  209. the problem is, is it even if you reach out and grab this in

  210. English, you're going to run into major problems because if you go to online

  211. resources lists, say, for instance, blue Letter Bible, you have the

  212. choice to switch over and check this in the actual Greek in the Septuigion.

  213. The problem is is it tells you there's only one other instance of this in

  214. the Bible, God's Holy Word, that other instance being in Deuteronomy, chapter

  215. thirty three, verse twenty six. But I assure you I don't need Blue

  216. Letter Bible to tell you this word is eleven times in God's Word in the

  217. Old Testament. It's ten times, not one. Now, of course Jose

  218. can verify this because he can look at it and he'll tell you, Matthew,

  219. why is it being omitted from resources like Blue Letter Bible. Well,

  220. because here what you call get one sixty nine, that's an adjective. Let's

  221. go over to a Deuteronomy, chapter thirty one, verse twenty six. Guess

  222. what are thirty one sixty nine? There the Greek that's an adjective. So

  223. what's the problem. Well, when we go to the instance of this in

  224. Psalms twenty nine, Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why this isn't keyed the

  225. strongs is because this is a noun. When I say that to people through

  226. like so, so you mean there is no Greek number here because the Greek

  227. number is always separated. There's gonna be one Greek word that's a verb,

  228. and if it's in another instant it's it's an adjective. It'll have a different

  229. strongs number that's right in the strongs used and a noun. This is not

  230. found in the New Testament because it's not in the New Testament. There is

  231. no Greek number for it in the septuagin. But when you open your eyes

  232. and you don't need online resources, you can actually read the text, you're

  233. like, boom, I know what that is, and this is something else.

  234. When you realize it's something else, you begin to look at these other

  235. instances and you realize that this is pretty well common knowledge. Because I hate

  236. to tell you that many people sing this in hymns. Many churches have this

  237. in hymns. That Psalm twenty nine is about the baptism. Yeah, look

  238. it up on YouTube. Look up Psalm twenty nine and baptism, and you'll

  239. see all kinds of hymns about it. So it's back here in the eccleasiest

  240. subconscious it is there. But ladies and gentlemen, you need to know this

  241. is pure prophecy. That's what's going on here. This voice from heaven was

  242. prophesied. And not only that. When you tear apart Psalm twenty nine you

  243. realize, oh my goodness, In a series of three or four verses,

  244. it's making mention of both instances. One is about his baptism and the other

  245. the transfiguration is a declaration to the Cedars of Lebanon. And if you don't

  246. know this, you need to look it up. Even the mightiest Syrian false

  247. prophet is declared to be a Cedar of Lebanon. Yes, yes, God

  248. does say that, Yes he does realize that the Cedars of Lebanon, just

  249. like the Bulls of Bashan, is an overt reference to the Angelic. Yes

  250. it is, Yes, it is any rabbinical scholar will tell you this.

  251. So with that in mind, once you take a look at Psalm twenty nine

  252. in the Subteligence, Well, for one, let me ask Jose this.

  253. So you've obviously read this in the Greek and the Hebrew, and boy,

  254. they're they're they're really different in their delivery, aren't they say? Yes,

  255. m absolutely, what's your thoughts on what's in our bibles? What what's your

  256. thoughts on the Hebrew version. So again, unless you're realizing that that,

  257. first of all, that this is prophecy. Too many people read the psalms

  258. and consider them just you know, Um, God, are David praising God?

  259. You know, David glorifying God. But the psalms are highly prophetic,

  260. either of the whole Bible, but especially the Salt. And if you don't

  261. realize this is prophecy, and you don't realize that God in this Psalm is

  262. proclaiming stuff to the angelic realm for what he plans on doing through his son,

  263. Um, you miss a lot of it, Matthew, you miss a

  264. lot of it. There's there's certain things you pick up because we hear the

  265. wilderness. Um. You see the word dear in the here. Okay,

  266. so um, you know that's that brings to mind, you know that getting

  267. your hinds feet that there's there's certain words in here that that if you're just

  268. a regular Bible reader, will kind of key in and you'll know that.

  269. Okay, maybe God's also talking about other things here, but when you realize

  270. that from the from the start, he's telling how He's going to set up

  271. um his kingdom, his son's kingdom, from the top to the bottom.

  272. He lays it all out here in this palm. Matthew, you know,

  273. I'm sorry, I'm gonna jump all over that. I'm gonna jump all over

  274. it because well because I can, because you know, ladies, gentlemen,

  275. you need to know this up front. So I'm twenty nine. You just

  276. need the very first verse because what you see in the New American Standard Bible

  277. says sons of the Mighty. No, no, I know what that says.

  278. That says bunny. That's right, ladies and gentlemen's sons el he what

  279. you would call, of course, other translations if you just look at the

  280. base word there, it's of course Alakin, everybody's gonna get quiet on me.

  281. What what what? What are you trying to say, well, ladies

  282. and gentlemen, this is bunny. It has a suffix yawd. Okay,

  283. I don't I don't think I know. I can go get a masoretic manuscript.

  284. Look at it. That sons plural. That next is alith lamed your

  285. men, that sons of God. Yes, yes, okay. Remember in

  286. Hebrew has several different ways to spell that phrase. But that's what this is

  287. saying here. The problem is when you do switch it over to the sebdulgent,

  288. you're ran into something that is exclusive to this verse. Okay, Now,

  289. look, all of you are just going to have to trust me.

  290. You're gonna have to trust me that if I was able to peer into the

  291. Greek and see that Megaloprepez is actually in Psalm twenty nine, you're just gonna

  292. have to take faith with me that this is the only instance of this in

  293. the Greek. This says sons of the Lord. You know, you know,

  294. heurials Lord. That's Gent sixty two. What comes after is sons that's

  295. G fifty two O seven. That's never anywhere else in the Bible. I

  296. don't think I know I'm qualified to tell you that to your face. So

  297. when we switch it over to like the Thompson's translation, what does it say.

  298. That's a translation that's readily available. It says, ye, children of

  299. God. And once again I appreciate that. I do appreciate that the mainstay

  300. of this ministry for the Septuligiant is the n ET s Now, I strongly

  301. suggest everybody get a copy. I have a copy right there on my bookshelf,

  302. the New English translation of the Septuagint. That's what I'm going to be

  303. reading for. It puts it in this way. It says, bring to

  304. the Lord, Oh, divine sons, And this really is the real way

  305. it should be phrased, Oh, divine sons, bring to the Lord Glory

  306. for his name. Now, the problem with this is is how the verse

  307. ends. And take note the Thompson translation says in his holy court. Let's

  308. read this verse two out of the out of the Thompson translation, offered to

  309. the Lord Glory to his name, worship the Lord in his holy court.

  310. So I'm not going to elaborate too much onto that, but you do need

  311. to realize and understand this. So this is what the megalop repas means.

  312. Jose isn't this verse, saying that that this voice is not just coming from

  313. any place in heaven. All right, This isn't the chair of them,

  314. right, This isn't the choir in heaven. This voice is coming from where.

  315. This is coming from his court. This is coming from from the courtroom

  316. in heaven. Yes, that's where Megalope repairs is. That's where it is.

  317. No matter how you use that Greek word, that's its origin. That's

  318. where it's coming from. So once you let that cout out of the bag

  319. and you realize, oh, this is coming from God's heavenly court, now

  320. something else is at play. Now it serves a purpose. Now when you

  321. continue reading from verse two, you realize that this voice is serving a purpose.

  322. It's making a proclamation. You would call this a divine proclamation. Right,

  323. getting back to how you originally started this out, this is a judge

  324. telling you from the bench, Jose, this is what the law says,

  325. right right. That was the perfect way to put it, you know.

  326. That's why I was so amazed how you opened the program. Both elements you

  327. put right in there right up front. First off, everybody that does the

  328. visualization with the spirit coming down, you know in that school and mogus and

  329. Lida. That's cool, But what really was important thing was a divine proclamation

  330. from the judge himself. Because at the end of the day, Uh,

  331. it really don't matter what the law says, does it, Jose No,

  332. because the judge he can proclaim whatever he whatever he decides to do with you.

  333. That's going to happen, right right yep. So I'm amazed that you

  334. put those two elements right up front. So well, Matthew, we know

  335. this because if if we were holding to the law, we'd all be guilty

  336. and we'd have no chance. But because God's the judge and his mercy,

  337. he accepts the sacrifices as of his son for our sins. That's that's that's

  338. the only reason that we even have a chance, Matthew, Because if we

  339. haven't by the letter of the law, we're cooked. We're done. Yes,

  340. we're done, because we would get our just desserts. Amen. Thank

  341. God that he is a lie. Amen. Amen. Thank God that the

  342. law is what he says it is, that's the law. I mean,

  343. yes, we have this great big wow. I mean, saying the Bible

  344. is complicated is an gross understatement. That's a gross understatement. It is,

  345. it's it's it's wonderful, it's it's beyond you and I jose. I mean,

  346. if we put both our heads together, we're not gonna come up with

  347. the fraction of the data that it contains. And that's just the truth.

  348. So you know, what's your thoughts about the Greek? And should we read

  349. the septuligent version before we go too much further? Yeah, we can do

  350. that. Why don't you go ahead and read it? Is that one that

  351. document you sent me, is that the ants version, Matthew, it is.

  352. I failed to identify it, but yes, that's that's what I have

  353. in the document. All right, then I'll read that one. So Psalm

  354. twenty nine, which is in the Greek Psalm twenty eight, but in the

  355. Hebrews the one we're normally familiar with, Psalm twenty nine from the Ants,

  356. a psalm pertaining to David. Bring to the Lord, O Divine's sons,

  357. bring to the Lord glory and honor. Bring to the Lord glory for his

  358. name, due obeissence to the Lord in his holy court. The Lord's voice

  359. is over the waters. The God of Glory thundered the Lord over many waters.

  360. The Lord's voice and strength. The lord's voice in magnificence. The Lord's

  361. voice as he crushes cedars. And the Lord will crush the cedars of Lebanon,

  362. and he will pulverize them, as the bull ca the Lebanon. And

  363. he that is beloved is like a son of unicorns. The Lord's voice as

  364. he divides flames of fire. The Lord will shake the wilderness of Cadess.

  365. The Lord's voice as he prepares dear, and he will uncover for us.

  366. And in his shrine every last one speaks of glory. The Lord will settle

  367. the flood. The Lord will sit as king forever. The Lord will give

  368. strength to his people. The Lord will bless his people with peace. Oh

  369. I can say to that is amen? Amen. Seems like he repeated that

  370. word the Lord's voice over and over in this, Saul Matthew, it must

  371. be pretty important. Well, I could say other things about this. Uh,

  372. I could say other things about this psalm Um. Besides that, that

  373. immediately lets you know that not only did did he repeat, um, the

  374. voice, the voice, the voice, the voice. Um, you know

  375. there's other things at how can I say that? Um? There's other things

  376. that play here? Um? So yes, I absolutely agree with you.

  377. He wants you to see his voice, and he wants you to see that

  378. he personally from his bench, because I think for the Restless Program I was

  379. going to refer it to. I mean, the judge don't have a seat,

  380. right, Jose, that's the bench. You approached the bench a man,

  381. Yes, yes, an go ahead, I'm saying amen, yep.

  382. Um. So you know, with that in mind, whatever's coming from the

  383. bench is obviously important. And you know, wow, there's so much that

  384. I could talk about the verses just right now, but it's enough to say

  385. that that we should be able to see this that. Um, it's extremely

  386. prophetic that he uses his voice over the waters. Um. Also, the

  387. god of glory thundered, Why is that important? Why I need to fill

  388. in the blanks here because I already mentioned this once, this reference from John

  389. chapter twelve. Uh, and I need to jump over there because I you

  390. know, I don't need to miss this anyway. Uh, Father, glorify

  391. your name. Then a voice came out of heaven. I have both glorified

  392. it, and I will glorify it again. So the crowd of people who

  393. stood by heard it were saying that it had thundered. Okay, So the

  394. people that was there that heard this voice, they said it sounded like it

  395. thundered. Others were saying, an angel is spoken to him. Jesus answered

  396. and said, this voice has not come for my sake, but for your

  397. sakes. Now, now take note, you better tie this two together.

  398. This is coming from the bench, Jose, is coming from the bench.

  399. Thirty one. Now, judgment is upon this world. Now the ruler of

  400. this world will be asked out, and I, if I am lifted up

  401. from the earth, will draw all men to myself. So enough about that.

  402. I just wanted to fill in the blanks for Wyatt said, why the

  403. God of Glory thundered? So he's telling you multiple things is going to happen

  404. here, and one of them. Verse three is obviously talking about the baptism

  405. Jose, Right, Yes it is. It's obviously talking about the baptism.

  406. Now, had you ever heard this before? I mean, you obviously went

  407. through Sunday School, You obviously went through many sermons. Had you ever heard

  408. anybody linked these two events together? No, Matthew, never does that bother

  409. you? Yes it does, because, like I said, if if,

  410. if I would have known that this song was in reverence to the baptism,

  411. then it would have first of all cemented cemented that the importance of the voice

  412. of God's voice in both the baptism story and the Tennis figuration story. But

  413. it also would have made me to study on when God speaks and what he's

  414. what it means, and what he's saying when he speaks from the bench.

  415. Right. Um, that's that's that's what's coming to mind right now. Um.

  416. He didn't just you know, happen to look when look one day and

  417. see his son being baptized and say, okay, oh look at that.

  418. That's great. Yeah, he's my son. He's been sitting there waiting for

  419. that to happen, and then when it did, then he proclaimed, it's

  420. pretty it's pretty amazing. It is pretty amazing. Explicitly when you it's confusing

  421. because ladies, gentlemen, look up the him the Lord will bless his people.

  422. Let me say it again, look up the name of this hymn,

  423. The Lord will bless his people. Because guess what, every instant of it,

  424. whenever you you find us him it oldly declares, this is Psalm twenty

  425. nine. I mean, I'm looking at a generic search I did using Google.

  426. Right here the baptism of the Lord Psalm twenty nine, The Lord will

  427. bless his people. Everybody knows it. If everybody knows it, why is

  428. it this pointed out when everybody knows it's a matter of public knowledge. The

  429. hymn the Lord will bless his people is from Psalm twenty nine. Yes it

  430. is, Yes it is. Look it up. So it's kind of it

  431. is bothering when you know that that a preacher can't say that he don't know

  432. this. Jose right, Your Sunday school teacher cannot say they don't know it.

  433. Yes, yes, it's it's a matter of public knowledge. A Psalm

  434. twenty nine is about the baptism of Jesus. That is yea, it is.

  435. They figured this out some way, jose right, right. And when

  436. you realize the information lying in this chapter, it's enough to rattle your cage.

  437. This has got something to do with the judge making a proclamation, and

  438. he is obviously making this proclamation not just to the sons of men, not

  439. just to the angels. Matter of fact, not just to the seraphim.

  440. I mean the seraphim are in earshot right of God. So are the chair

  441. them there within earshot. But no, No, the Lord God when he

  442. makes this declaration and from Megaloprepez, he's telling creation. That's the cockroaches,

  443. that's the cherubim, that's the lions, tigers and bears. This edict is

  444. coming from the bench and everybody else that's not behind the bench. They're the

  445. ones that's being proclaimed to Lottie Dotty everybody. When you realize that, you

  446. know, it kind of rattles your cage. So so what's your your thoughts

  447. on some of the phrases that you locked into. Yeah, I think that's

  448. and that's important, Matthew, I don't. I don't think that's unless you

  449. unless you know Psalm twenty nine, and unless you remember it when you're reading

  450. the baptism story. I think for me, that's that's what was missing,

  451. is he's not just proclaiming it to the people that are there witnessing the baptism.

  452. He's proclaiming it to all of creation, to the heavenly realm, the

  453. earthly realm, everybody. Um, it's this is him physically saying how he's

  454. going to set up his kingdom. He's gonna set up his king as his

  455. son, as King forever, right. That's what it says in verse ten

  456. um, and and all the previous verses is just how he's going to set

  457. that up, what he's going to do to the angelic realm, what he's

  458. going to do to the to to creation itself. You know, it says

  459. prepared, deer uncovered forrests Um. You know he's he's not just he's kind

  460. of kind of setting out an order of operations like in the military. This

  461. is what this is what we're gonna do. This is how the steps that

  462. we're going to proceed. And it begins right there with the baptism, Matthew.

  463. Um. What what hit me though, is verse seven, Um,

  464. because it talks about the Lord's voice dividing the flames of fire and the Lord

  465. shaking the wilderness of cadess Um the flames of fire, Matthew. When I

  466. hear that, I hear Kara's rebellion because of the whole thing with the censors

  467. and all and all that happened. That that that Moses instructed Kara and his

  468. crew to do and left it up to judge, to God to judge who

  469. he was going to pick. Um. So yeah, we can sit here

  470. and clap and cheer when when God's telling the angels he's gonna put him down,

  471. and he's gonna set others set up, you know, his his son,

  472. and and and the rod of iron for his son. But boy,

  473. that right there, dividing the flames of fire, that's that's talking to us,

  474. Matthew, warning us about Kara's rebellion when we're in the wilderness. I

  475. absolutely agree. And you know verse six is chilling. What does that mean

  476. when he says and he will overise them, right? I mean, I

  477. mean it's one thing to have somebody here on earth say that you know they're

  478. going to pulverize you. When this statement is made from the bench, right,

  479. you should have everybody worried because that shaking associated with kas rebellion is one

  480. of the only two times that God's work says that, you know, the

  481. ground opens up right right, and that's not good that that that's not a

  482. good thing to have happened here. But he's saying that after this, so

  483. after this event, by mentioning Kadesh, it also does something to me because

  484. I know what happened there. There was the beginning of the wilderness Wars.

  485. Numbers like what are you talking about Mathew. Well, well, I know

  486. the Bible, Okay, that's what I know. And you have to understand

  487. that when the twelve witnesses came back, ten of them said, you know,

  488. oh no, we can't do it. We can't do it. So

  489. God says, okay, so you're gonna wander out here for forty years.

  490. And then everybody changed, Oh okay, well we'll go ahead and take it.

  491. Of course, Moses says, you're all idiots. God just said from

  492. the bench. Now you're all going to die in the wilderness over the course

  493. of forty years. And they're like, no, no, we'll go ahead

  494. and take it. So what they do they try to invade the Promised Land,

  495. right, And so when you know the baby were history, you read

  496. verse seven. No, that's a lie. That didn't happen. God didn't.

  497. They didn't win at Kidad. That's not what happened. They lost.

  498. So if you don't know everything that's going on here, if God would have

  499. done that from this place, then they would have entered the Promised Land without

  500. the forty years, right, Jose, Right, So this is obviously a

  501. future event because the Bible doesn't lie. So that should tell you that versus

  502. nine and ten is post is after this event that oover rises, it says,

  503. this voice crushes, it divides. After this event we have some Jose,

  504. how do you uncover a forest? Exactly? How do you do that?

  505. I mean, because I know you just chop off up all the all

  506. the tops, Matthew and expose everything to to the light. You know.

  507. It immediately reminds me of the geological anomaly, because I geology, Okay,

  508. I know the truth. And they're saying that these layers of sediment are trillions

  509. of years, right, But then you have trees that are petrified growing right

  510. up through trillions of years. Now, ladies and gentlemen, the trees are

  511. the proof and the putting of the flood those SIPs, right, So that's

  512. immediate what it brings to mind. If you mean, if you under I

  513. mean, if you I'm not gonna spend too much time on that. One

  514. thing is for sure, Jose, Yep, that that word and the King

  515. James says discover at the forest. That that gives a more clear meaning of

  516. what he's saying there, Like what you're saying uncovering, uncovering I'm thinking you

  517. know you're gonna expose us underneath the forest. But when the us James Us

  518. is the word discover, discover the forest. That means there's a forest that's

  519. hidden. I'm gonna show everybody, you know, where it's at when he's

  520. when he's done, and that, like I said, that phraseology, once

  521. you realize it, it's kind of worrying because you realize that we're going someplace

  522. and it's farther than Kansas, and it's definitely over the rainbow wherever we're going.

  523. I hope I said that in a way that everybody would understand it.

  524. It's unsettling what he uses here, because ladies and gentlemen. I was,

  525. hey, are you taking a look at a Greek at the Greek of what

  526. this says? What the word for uncover? There is ladies and gentlemen.

  527. That's g six O one, ladies and gentlemen. That's apocalypse. Yes it

  528. is, Yes it is. It's apocalypse. Now how do you how do

  529. you apocalyse a forest? And I'm not going to spend too much time there

  530. because we've already uncovered a nightmare. I mean, Lady Jim, we're going

  531. someplace special. Especially when you look into the phraseology of this and let me

  532. do this. I'm just gonna have to do this or everybody knows what I'm

  533. talking about. The cedars of Lebanon. Okay, we'll do this from the

  534. KJV. All right, Ezeka, chapter thirty one, verse three, Yes,

  535. okay, before I read it, Yes this is true, Ye,

  536. yes, it is true. Behold the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon,

  537. with fair branches, with a shadowing shroud and high stature, and his top

  538. was among the fifth bowls. Now, unfortunately it talks about the water here

  539. too. The waters made him great, the deep set up on high?

  540. How did the deep set him up on high? So this is obviously referring

  541. here in Psalm chapter twenty nine. It is obviously referring to the angels being

  542. cast down, and we absolutely know that events in revelation, right, Jose,

  543. right, yes, that is what happens. Now this reference here,

  544. that that's in verse ten. You know the Lord said his king at the

  545. flood. What does the Thompson say here? The Lord will cause that which

  546. was alluged to be inhabited? Okay? What okay? Okay, Jose,

  547. why don't you give me verse ten again? Out of the nts the Lord

  548. will settle the flood. The Lord will sit as king forever. So obviously

  549. everybody realizes that, Hey, maybe Jose and I should take a look at

  550. the Greek and when you switch it over here to the Greek for this verse,

  551. well, for one, I see one word here that's not been keyed

  552. to strong. That should get everybody's attention. Unfortunately, we're at the top

  553. of the hour and it's time for us to lay these things to rest.

  554. But take note, of course, God is going to sit as king,

  555. because we know what the psalms. Other psalms states very plainly, where the

  556. water is going to be laid up. Jose and I have told you this

  557. repeatedly. That's exactly what God's going to do. This is exactly what Psalm

  558. thirty three says. I'll read it again. You need to digest this.

  559. This is true Psalm thirty three, verse seven. He gathers the waters of

  560. the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in store houses.

  561. Jose, what does that mean? There's no way around what he's saying,

  562. Lady Stune, because the storehouses of the deepest only elsewhere mentioned in the

  563. flood. Yes it is, Yes, it is yes, it is.

  564. Well, I could say so much, I've said so little. I've literally

  565. said so little. It's amazing how every time after Jose and I get off

  566. air, I say that man, I didn't get a chance to share anything.

  567. But anyway, Jose, what's your closing comments here? You know,

  568. say what God puts on your heart. This is your last chance to to

  569. edify God's children with this topic. So what's your closing comments? So,

  570. Matthew just just on the importance of actually at least looking at the original languages,

  571. because again, we were talking about this uncovering of forests, and if

  572. you just read it, even flipping through the various translations, it'll make it

  573. sound like like you're just you're discovering the forest. It'll make it sound like

  574. the forests are laid bare. There's different ways it's translated. But when you

  575. look at the Greek word, Matthew, like you said, it's apocalypsos,

  576. and it takes you right if you just do a simple search on that word.

  577. You know, the first one I hit on first Peter one thirteen and

  578. it says the revelation of Jesus crisis that same word. So that's what this

  579. is. Talking about the Revelation, you know, that famous book that everyone

  580. likes to read. And um, so you just can't you just can't deny

  581. that this is all prophetic. M And for myself, that's how I read

  582. the Bible, and that's what helped me understand what God's talking about, because

  583. because God's giving us a ton of information in every single line of the Bible.

  584. And unless there's a way to structure it, unless there's a way to

  585. add that to your database, it's just you're just you're you're not going to

  586. know where to put it, Matthew. And so it's going to get put

  587. in the corner, like we start at the beginning, right that voice,

  588. I don't know what to do with it. So I'm gonna put it in

  589. the corner. Now. Thankfully, God's rewarded our faithfulness. Um. And

  590. now he's showing, he's showing that He's pulling it out of the corner and

  591. say here, here's how it's important, Jose. Now you need to share

  592. this. Now you need to show people how prophetic what happened in the transfiguration,

  593. how prophetic what happened in the baptism of Jesus Christ was. And you

  594. know, we're hoping that this edifices the ecclesia. We're hoping that the strengthens

  595. people's faith because they're gonna have to endure what song twenty nine is talking about.

  596. Matthew. This is going to come to pass and it's going to shake

  597. the heavens and the earth, and we're gonna have to endure it. And

  598. the only way you can is if you have the faith that strengthened with the

  599. word. So that I think those are my final final words, Matthew.

  600. That's how important it is to read your Bible again, Matthew. It's the

  601. voice, right, we get the Holy Spirit and it helps it helps us,

  602. you know, do good things here on earth. That helps us bless

  603. people, it helps us not sin. But boy, that voice that he's

  604. written down, that's uh, you can't do anything with that. In Matthew,

  605. it is life, amen, you know you can't say it's living.

  606. Of course, that's a problem with this garbage language we have of English.

  607. It'd be so much better to be able to word this in Spanish because Spanish

  608. has feminine masculine, it has the plurals and as you know, so it'd

  609. be so much easier. But the only way I can say it is God's

  610. word is life. I mean, it is living. It it does make

  611. to live. But the only way we can say it in this tongue is

  612. it is life. It is life. So all right, jose M,

  613. pray us out of here. Please do you have any Father, I thank

  614. you for bringing me and my brother together to study your psalms, to study

  615. your gospels, have to study your whole word. Lord. There are not

  616. words enough that I could express to how important it is in my life,

  617. how much of a light it has been to my life. And I only

  618. ask that you allow me to share that light with everyone else. Lord,

  619. Too many times, as Christians, as believers, we struggle with how to

  620. share your word, how to share your son with others. We let too

  621. many obstacles get in the way. So Lord, I asked that these programs

  622. are a way for my light to shine and for your word to spread not

  623. only through the ecclesia, but through the whole world. And I ask all

  624. this in the name of your son, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

  625. Amen, Amen and Amen. Good Next time, ladies and gentlemen,

  626. God bless, God speed.
