Lift Up The Standard Pt 2

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

Janine Jose and myself Matthew. Tonight we're going to be tackling the second instance

in the Lift Up the Standard series. Tonight, we're going to be tackling

Isaiah chapter eleven. And in order to navigate that piece of scripture from the

Bible, God's Holy Word, we should pray ourselves out and pray ourselves in.

So I will be doing the prayer tonight leading us in. Dear Heavenly

Father, whom I serve to the Lord, Jesus Christ, your son,

Father and our Savior, Please fill us with your holy spirit so that we

can be pleasing and acceptable in your side. To Lord, our Rock and

our redeemer, Please help us to navigate your word. It is too wonderful

for us. I remember, Lord, stretching all the way back to my

keenage years, happen to come to terms with this, this very series that

we're doing this very night, This instances in your scripture, this lift up,

this standard, which means sign in Hebrew. This this marvelous sign that's

going to occur. I pray that you bless those who partake of this program,

whether it be hearing the live or in the archive, whether video or

whether audio. Please bless them as you stand upon time, Father, and

please bless them, and please please draw them to your son. For your

son, the Lord Jesus Christ is faithful and he will save them. Please,

Dear Lord, help us to navigate these waters one more time. And

Father, I'm I'm pushed to remind you, keep your promises. Lord,

keep your promises. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I pray

Amen and Amen, Amen. Amen. All right, Janine, what's your

opening comments? Well, you know what, Let's just read through this stanza

real quick. Let's just do that first. So Isaiah chapter eleven, verses

eleven through sixteen. Then it will happen on that day that the Lord will

again recover the second time with his hand the remnant of his people who remain

from Assyria, Egypt, Paphos, kush Elam, Shiner hey Meth, and

the islands of the sea. And he will lift up a standard for the

nation and the assembled the banished ones of Israel, and will gather the dispersed

of Judah from the four corners of the earth. Then the jealousy of the

Fraim will depart, and those who who rash Judah will be cut off.

Fraim will not be jealous of Judah, and Juda will not harass Efraim.

They will swoop down on the slope to the Philistines on the west. Together

they will plunder the sons of the east. They will possess edom and moab.

So you would think reading it, ladies and gentlemen, this is awfully

complicated. And to that, Janine, what's your your opening comments about this,

this standard that's being lifted up to the nation's You said that that actually

means sign? Right, Yes, it does the thing that immediately comes to

my mind, and it is a sign of the son of a man appearing

in the sky. That would certainly do the trick, wouldn't it. Yes,

that would certainly do the trick, That would do the trick. But

so is it your impression that that's what this sign is. That's what it

immediately has me think of, That's what it draws me to when I read

that verse. Okay, all right, let's give Jose's take on Jose What

say you, well, Matthew, especially that verse lately, when I've been

when I've been seeing that word nations. I know in the Hebrew it's usually

gooy and in the Greek is usually ethnos or some some variation of those words.

Um. And I've been getting a distinct impression that when you're talking about

the nations that um, they're obviously currently right now ruled by the bad angels,

right, I mean, that's who's leading them, that's who's misguiding them,

that's who's you know, um, causing them to go away from the

Lord. And so obviously God's gonna kick those angels out of him, and

he's gonna put up his own um leaders or princes over those nations. Um.

And and we know who those replacements are. We know that those are

the children one hundred and forty four thousand discussed in Revelation fourteen. They're going

to be directly instructed by God and then they're gonna they're gonna rule justly um

because the bad, bad princess couldn't do their job. So that's where my

mind's been going when I see the nations. We know who who Israel is,

right, that's Christians, that's those that have been set straight by God.

And we know they're going to be assembled like God tells us over and

over, not only in Asia but all over the Bible. And then we've

been discussing lately how judah um are those are those Jews that that end up,

you know, but believe in in in Christ, that that understand who

the Messiah is in those end times. So we're kind of we're kind of

again they were getting these this picture of these uh, of these three groups

right that we see in Revelation twelve. Um, these groups that each have

their appointed place and their jobs that they're supposed to do. So that's that's

where I'm being led right now, Matthew. Obviously, the more we dig

into this standard being lifted up, the more um, We're going to get

a better idea of what God's talking about. But that's my first impressions.

Okay, Well, with fat I'm gonna take Janine by a surprise because I

didn't finish the stanza. I'll finish. I stopped in the middle of a

verse. Everybody should have caught it when I said Moaban or edem in Moabban

didn't mention Ammon. But anyway, let's finish the text, and the sons

of Ammon will be subject to them and the Lord will utterly destroy the tongue

of the sea of Egypt, and he will wave his hand over the river

with a scorching wind, and he will strike it into seven streams and make

men walk over dry shod. And there will be a highway from Assyria for

the remnant of these people, who will be left, just as there was

for Israel in the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.

That probably catch That probably caught the listeners off kilter, because verse eleven

and verse sixteen actually go together, and the rest of the verses can be

taken out. That's in between. But you need to know this. When

he repeats himself and says again and will recover, let me do it this

way back to verse eleven, then it will happen on that day that the

Lord will again recover the second time with his hand, the remnant of his

people. What is he talking about? What event is he elicitly going to

repeat? Go down to the end the end of verse sixteen, in that

day that they came up out of the land of Egypt. If you thought

the end times had anything to do with anything else, you are dead bang

wrong. Yes, Janine, no, that's a rhetorical question. Yes,

you're absolutely. I mean, the only way to understand the end times is

to understand the Exodus. And he just forthrightly came out and said that it's

exactly going to be like this. Did he say that it's going to be

like the time that he took Elijah to heaven? Did he mention that,

No, let that sink in, Ladies and gentlemen, nod. The Father

who gave you his word just came right out and told you that the end

times are going to be executed just exactly like he did it in the Exodus.

Now I know that all these end time Bible prophecy experts run around like

chickens with their head cut off, screaming that it's a it's like it was

before the flood. It's like it was before the flood. It's like it

was in the days of Noah. We're gonna be put in an arc and

you know, set upon the waves during a great flood of evil. No,

No, that's all science fiction fantasy. God came right out and told

you exactly how it's going to be if you've been led to believe you're going

to go to heaven. So that God can make a special deal with the

Israeli Empire. You've obviously been reading something other than the Bible, God's holy

Word, and I'll just say that directly to you. You've been reading all

kinds of literature that hasn't included the Bible. Read a couple of very interesting

ones today myself, a couple of blog posts that were out right science fiction

fantasy written by doctorates that knows full well the devil himself does not believe those

posts that they written and published. They know full well even the devil don't

believe it. So when you're when you're assaulted with with that little bit of

information from these very few verses, I mean, Isaiah, chapter eleven,

verses eleven to sixteen, it's pretty sure, right, Jose. It's I

mean, it's just one stands up. That's one stands of it. Boy,

it packs a punch. And it amazes me that that, you know,

Jeanine's thoughts went directly to the sign of the Son of Man. But

that's not the only sign of the Book of Revelation, isn't, Jose.

No lots of signs that there's more than one, all right. I mean,

you know, ladies, and general monique. There's more than one sign

in the Book of Revelation, but let's just try one on for size.

I'll just start reading randomly. A great sign appeared in heaven, a woman

clothed with the sun. Shall I keep going? Now you understand that the

Bible just said that is in itself a sign. It picks it up two

verses later from that one. Then another sign appeared in heaven and behold a

great red dragon. Now what's going to blow your mind is what does he

just say? Let me read it in Having read Isaiah chapter eleven, verse

eleven through sixteen, you might want to consider what I'm getting ready to read.

Then another sign appeared in heaven and bold, a great red dragon,

having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven diadems.

Now let's go back to Isaiah chapter eleven. Now you have to realize that

listen very carefully, and the Lord will utterly destroy the tongue of the Sea

of Egypt. And he will wave his hand over the river. It doesn't

say the Nile, doesn't say that your radies, it doesn't say the Jordan.

It says the river with his scorching win. And he will strike it

into seven streams and make men walk over dryshod. So am I saying that

these two signs are related. I didn't say that at all. I'm just

pointing out the obvious. But I'm really getting way right of the target,

because there's a bunch of stuff embedded in this text that will absolutely blow your

mind. Jose your comments, Yeah, that's um, that matches a little

bit too close, especially with but said in verse fourteen, Matthew, we

know that where it says that he will possess Edim and Moab. I mean,

that's Etim we read about in the book of Obadiah. We're told,

we're told what what what? That's what that's in reference to? Right,

Yeah, we're told what mountain? That's that's describing Moab. We've discussed before,

means of the Father, Right, that's right. What's essentially he is

talking about the sons of God, the angels, Um, And again these

are the bad angels. We keep talking about, those those ones that God

kicks out, the ones that we were talked to told about in Revelation chapter

twelve. So it's it fits here. Um. Again, it's like you're

you're you're telling it, telling the same story from a from a different,

different perspective, a different point of view, a little bit more detail about

what God's talking about. Um, the boy was blowing me away right now,

Matthew. When I was looking at the Hebrew Is that word remnant in

verse eleven? It's only one letter different from the word assyria in Hebrew.

That is correct, And that's blowing my mind right now. That is correct,

Just one little bitty Hebrew character different, right, Yes, yes you

need Do you have any further comments? Well, I'm going back to that

verse twelve, and he will lift up a standard for the nations and will

assemble the banished ones of Israel. To me, that indicates that that sign

and the gathering are connected. Yes, no doubt about it. They're definitely

connected. So so what sign in revelation than do you would you assign pardon

the pun to that sign? Well, Janine, let me go back to

what I was reading before. All right, let's just do that. That's

the easiest way to do it. Okay, let's go back to that particular

chapter I was reading out of Okay, okay, and um, we'll just

confront ourselves with is that mentioned in this chapter? Is it mentioned there.

What you just mentioned is the great gathering mentioned there. So just a few

verses later, and when the dragon saw that he was own down to the

earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. But

the two wings of great Eagle were given to the woman so that she could

fly into the wilderness to her place where she was nourished for a time and

times and half a time from the presence of the serpent. This is exactly

describing Isaiah chapter forty in Operation Eagles Wings. It's the same thing. It's

the same exact thing. So once again, am I saying that one is

the other? No, I'm not. I'm just pointing out the obvious.

Isn't that what you would say, Jose yep, especially when you tie in

the start of that stand again, it tells us on that day, right,

So he's talking about the Lord's day in verse eleven Isaiah chapter eleven.

And so we know that's when God comes down, that's when he gets up

off his throne. That's the that's he does that on the tribulation trigger,

which is the sixth seal in a revelation chapter six. And why does he

come down? He comes down to gather that male child before before the dragon

or anyone can get to it, which is what we're told in Revelation chapter

twelve. That's right. So I'm just pointing out the obvious gene. I'm

not answering your question. I'm just saying that both those elements are right here

in the same chapter, and I'm okay with that. That that helps good.

So from this point, you know, to get to some of these

things that are that are right there in front of your face. If you're

looking at the Bible, you've got it laid out in front of your you

know, on your lap, let's say, or on your desk. There's

things right there. I mean, they're right there. You can't see.

To me, they're obvious because my Sunday school teacher pointed them out to me.

And when I saw it, I could not unsee it. And I

was greatly disturbed because I didn't understand why I didn't see it. So,

Janine, would you care to read all sixteen verses of this chapter four?

Please? I can do that, thank you, Starting with chapter eleven,

verse one. That's what you wanted right from the very beginning, okay,

called the righteous reign of the branch. Then a shoot will spring from the

stem of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will bear fruit. And

the spirit of the Lord will rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and

understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge, and

the fear of the Lord. And he will delight in the fear of the

Lord. And he will not judge by what his eyes see, nor make

a decision by what his ears hear. But with righteousness he will judge the

poor, and decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth. And he

will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breadth

of his lips, he will slay the wicked. Also, righteousness will be

the belt about his loins, and faithfulness the belt about his waist. And

the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with,

and the calf, and the young lion and the fatling together, and

a little boy will lead them. Also, the cow and the bear will

graze their young, will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw

like the ox, and the nursing child will play by the whole of the

cobra, and the weaned child will put his hand on the Viper's den.

They will not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain, for the earth

will be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the

sea. Then it will come about in that day that the nations will resort

to the roots of Jesse, who will stand as a signal for the people's

and his resting place will be glorious. Then it will happen on that day

that the Lord will again recover the second time with his hand the remnant of

his people, who will remain from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, hush Alam,

shinar Hamas, and from the islands of the sea. And he will

lift up a standard for the nations, and will assemble the banished ones of

Israel, and will gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the

earth. Then the jealousy of Fraim will depart, and those who harass Judah

will be cut off. If Raim will not be jealous of Judah, and

Judah will not harass if Raim, And they will swoop down on the slopes

of the Philistines on the west. Together they will plunder the sons of the

East. They possess edom and Moab and the sons of Ammon will be subject

to them. And the Lord will utterly destroy the tongue of the Sea of

Egypt. And he will wave his hand over the river and his scorching wind,

and he will strike it into seven streams, and make men walk over

dry shod. And there will be a highway from Assyria for the remnant of

his people, who will be left, just as there was for Israel in

the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt. So that's

some pretty easy text, right, No, really, did you catch a

theme there? Let me let me ask Jose. Did you catch a theme

there, Jose? Or was? It gives me? There's lots of themes

there, Matthew, Well do you and you wanted to say something, Yes,

it's another chapter that makes the backs of my eyeballs itch. Well it

should both of them. Let me point this out, okay, I said

both of them for a reason. Listen to the dichotomy here. Once I

say that, people's like what listen to him. If you listen to what

it says, you will rapidly hear the dichotomy. It says the spirit of

number one wisdom and two understanding. Then it does it again, the spirit

of number one council and number two strength. Do you see it, Janie,

may do, he's forcing you to see twins. No, yes,

let me ask koset, Let me ask kose jose? How many people are

mentioned in verse two or in verse one? Because it's either a shoot or

branch. I want to know which one he is? Right? Did you

catch it, Janine? Yes, one is a shoot and one is a

branch. One will spring from the stem and the other one from his roots.

Exact amundo. Now let's go to verse four. It's all over the

place. The first one righteousness, the second one fairness. Look, ladies

and gentleman, it's talking about two different people. But with righteousness he will

judge the poor. The second one he uses fairness and decide with fairness for

the afflicted of the earth. If you look here, let's try this again,

Janine, Yes, how many belts are in verse five? It was

I think two? So righteousness is one belt and where's it act his lines?

Okay? And the second belt is faithfulness? Where's it act around his

waist? Are you getting the point? Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you

are forced to see he's talking about Quinn's However, which way you want to

do it, whether you want to say it's two sides of one coin,

it's impossible not to see it once it's been pointed out to you. Well,

then he continues that with if I am and Judah, yes he does.

Let's let's try this one. Okay, Jose, listen to me,

Okay, I want you to keep in your mind twins verse four. But

with righteousness, he will judge the poor and decide with fairness for the afflicted

of the earth. And he will strike the earth with the rod of his

mouth, and with the breath of his lips, he will slay the wicked.

What does that remind you of, Jose? The two Witnesses Matthew Revelation

chapter eleven qualify that read it for me. Where is there anything where is

there anything in Revelation about the two Witnesses that mimics what was just said?

So I will just read from verse five of Revelation eleven. Says, if

anyone wants to harm them, fire flows out of their mouth and devours their

enemies. And so if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed.

In this way, these have the power to shut up the sky so

that rain will not fall during the days of their prophesying. And they have

power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth

with every plague as often as they desire. Did you hear it, Janine?

Yes, the first verse he read was very illicit. With the breath

of their lips, they slay the wicked. Yes, the next verse,

verse six, may it perfectly clear they could strike the earth with the rod

of their mouth. Yes, ladies and gentlemen. If you didn't know this

was talking about the two witnesses, you are extremely shortsighted, indeed, because

once you see it, it's impossible to get away from what he was trying

to point out to you. It's impossible, But let's try some verse six.

You cannot look. You have to be as blind as a bat not

to see it. You got a wolf and lamb, leopard and young goat.

How can you not see it? How can you not see that?

The only two things this can possibly be ascribed to is exactly what Jose read

from a Revelation, Chapter eleven, verses five and six. Yes, yes

it is, yes, it is, Oh, yes it is yea it

is. There is no part of this scripture that you're not going to have

to come to grips with. Okay, okay, the cow and the bear

verse seven. If that's not good enough for it, does it again in

the same verse, lion and the ox. Open your eyes. Let's try

verse eight. Okay, A nursing child and a cobra. Then it says,

a wean child and a viper. If you cannot see he is talking

about, however you want to put it two sides of one coin, or

brothers or twins. However, you you're literally blind as a bad if you

can't see it. I mean, especially with the opening. I mean,

once it's pointed out to you, it's inescapable. Is it a shoot or

a branch? Why does he keep doing it? Okay? The spirit of

wisdom and understanding? Why does every time the spirit have two sides to it,

the spirit of counsel and strength? Why is that verse three? If

you if you need eyes that can see, I can't help you. If

you need ears that can hear, I can't help you. Because this is

literally what Jesus is talking about. And he will delight and the fair of

the Lord, and he will not judge by what his eyes see. Surely

you all remember Jesus saying that those that have eyes that can see, those

that have ears that can hear, let me finish the verse, nor make

a decision by what his ears here. So all of you that's ever you

know, uh paid for any eschatology teaching or whatever about the two witnesses,

and they didn't point this out to you. Lord have mercy, You got

a lot to learn, because Jose, it's not me right right, it

showing. It's showing up there everywhere. Matthew. Um, Yeah, that

the the the comparison of the two just pops up everywhere. When when I'm

when I'm hearing the righteousness and the faithfulness described in verse five, that is

the law and the testimony. And then when you jump down to verse eight

and you have a nursing child, which is a child who's two years an

under, and then a nursing weaned child as a child that's past that stage.

I mean, that's that's the nursing child that is talking about those in

Revelation fourteen, and the weaned child that's talking about those in Revelation chapter seven.

The two brothers. Yes, it is talking about the male child and

the rest of her children in verse twelve, the rest of her children.

And once you see it, you can't unsee it, can you. Nope.

Literally, before we started this program, if I would have said that

to anybody partaking of the private conversation between me and let's say Janine Famous said

you're crazy. Let you said, the two Witnesses have got nothing to do

with Isaiah chapter eleven. Do I have to be mister obvious? We're talking

about Isaiah chapter eleven right now? Right? Yep? I'm sorry, Jose.

Which chapter in Revelation is dedicated to the two Witnesses? Revelation eleven?

Okay, Janine, does that take mister obvious? No, No, ladies

and gentlemen, it doesn't require mister obvious. And the other thing to Matthew

is the two witnesses prophecy for one two hundred and sixty days. Yes,

they operate forty two months, and that's a I mean, I hate to

spring this up again, but isn't that into your twice in Revelation chapter twelve.

Yes, it's in there two different ways, right right, okay,

So just so we understand what we're talking about here, ladies and gentlemen,

the two witnesses. Okay, the two witnesses, they prophesy for forty two

months. Revelation chapter twelve states that the woman would be taken care of for

one thousand, two undred sixty days. Ladies and gentlemen, that's forty two

months. Yes it is, Yes, it is. So what other way

could you possibly describe this time frame, ladies, Germany. The only way

you can say that is is time's time and a halftime, right, Jose

Right, I mean it's, ladies and gentlemen. I mean, I hate

to be you know, I hate to belittle this, but it's staring you

right in the face, and it's a little impossible not to see it once

once it's been brought to your attention. And I can I add this part

of Revelation chapter eleven, Matthew the first two verses, because I was given

to me a measuring rod like a staff, and someone said, get up

and measure the Temple of God and the altar and those who worship in it,

the about the core yard, which is outside the temple, and do

not measure it, because it has been given to the nations, and they

will trample the Holy city for forty two months. There's the nations again.

There's the nations again, and I wasn't finished. The only other time frame

you can you can say that it's times time and a half time, and

down in verse fourteen of Revelation Chapter twelve is times time and a half time.

So you have Revelation chapter eleven and Revelation chapter twelve. You cannot argue

this point in a court of law. You have three and a half years

divided up into forty two months. That is a duration of one thousand and

two and sixty days. It says it. What other way could you say

it? Jose? I mean, what other way could you say it?

Right? Channing your thoughts? Is it the same forty two months for all

three events? I mean, I don't want to laugh at you. Go

ahead, I mean, of course it is, so they're all concurrent.

Of course it is. The tribulation is only three and a half years.

Okay. If you are wondering what the first three and a half years was,

it was the Ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes it was,

Yes, it was. When I say that, it just confuses the daylights

out of people. And I'm really, I mean, you think what and

when they give me the rancher. I'm like, wait a minute, don't

you realize that's kind of blasphemous to say that because there's only one Prince of

the Covenant. There ain't two, there ain't three, there's not twelve.

I mean, I know the Hebrew word at play, but you call it

age twelve eighty five. I mean, if you didn't know it was the

beginning at Daniel chapter eleven, I fear for you. You know what,

let me read it, but I assure you, ladies and gentlemen, this

is true. Boy. I'm really about ready to just rattle people's cage.

Ladies and gentlemen. It plainly says in Daniel that the Prince of the Covenant

would be cut off in the middle of the week, Jeanine. Isn't it

common knowledge how long Jesus ministry was. I mean, you can go to

any institution of a higher learning and they will all tell you it was three

and a half years. And we know that, right, Yes, So

let's look at this literally, I mean literally, you realize that he was

cut off in the middle of the feast of unleavened bread, right, everybody?

Yes, okay, just so you all know, Okay, Passover is

the day before the week long feast of unleavened bread, so prophetically the last

week is seven years. He got cut off in the middle of that because

his ministry was three and a half years long. Yeah, it was.

Everybody knows it. Even God haters accept that. I mean, that's why

God trips over himself in Revelation chapter eleven and twelve to make sure you know,

by the way, this is three and a half years long, and

it's almost magical because that's exactly the opposite of what everybody else says, right,

Jenny. They literally trip over themselves saying that it's seven years long,

right, yes, Which is why I brought it up, because I think

there is well we know there is. I don't think it. There is

a whole group of people out there right now who have begun to worship the

God of Confusion in a serious, much more serious way. And I myself

am a data point type person, and I like point A, B,

C, and D laid out in a fashion that I can comprehend. And

that's why I ask the questions because I know there's people out there that are

going to be listening, and they're going to be thinking, Hey, wait

a minute, how does this work? And so they're going to ask themselves,

are they all concurrent events? I think it's a question that's going to

be asked by people who do not have the background that we have. Perhaps

certainly not that you have, but we're trying to reach them. Well,

Janine, I was going to read one verse for you and the New Market

Standard Bible. Maybe I should just hesitate. No, you need to hear

it. Hearken to my voice. This is true. Then after sixty two

weeks, the Messiah will be cut off and will have nothing, and the

people of the Prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary,

and it's in will come with a flood. Even an end. There

will be war and desolations are determined, and he will make a firm covenant

with many for one week. But in the middle of the week he will

put a stop to the sacrifice of green offering, and on the wing of

the abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until the complete destruction,

one that is decreed is poured out, and the one who makes desolate.

This is exactly what Jesus Christ was quoting from. And if you didn't know

that the Messiah is speaking about himself. He makes a covenant for one week,

and in the middle of that week he got cut off. I'm not

sure what I can do to help you. You already are helping me by

putting it in terms that someone as simple as I can understand, so you're

able to wrap your mind around the simple fact that this week is seven years

long, and in the middle of it, the Messiah got cut off.

And it's literally. You can go to Harvard, Yale, whatever school you

want to get, and they will tell you that they know jesus ministry was

approximately three and a half years. Yes, and ladies are doing That's why

the tribulation is three and a half years long. That's why because He's gonna

finish it. So let me get this right. This has always blown me

away. So when you take that text and read it in the Hebrew,

everybody thinks that God is just never going to get to the end of the

seventy weeks. It says for one week, but in the middle of the

week, so you think it's just never going to be completed. It's enough

to blow my mind. There is no way around. Verse twenty six of

Daniel chapter nine yes, it does say Messiah. This is not talking about

I mean, realize everybody says that it's the anti Christ that makes a covenant

with Israel. No, no, that's not what it says the Messiah.

So I'm glad you asked that, Jennie, I'm glad you asked if this

was different periods of time. That's amazing to me. Maybe the problem is

this, Maybe people are using the KJV or something. They need to consult

the actual Hebrew and read Daniel chapter nine. It makes itself perfectly clear.

Once you break it down as you have, it makes perfect sense. I

understand it. However, you have a large subgroup of people who have only

come to faith in the Lord Jesus, in the Messiah, in God the

Father through the entertainment industry, so they have no other knowledge to compare it

to. Sunday school was what the neighbors kids went to. They didn't go.

Bible was what somebody read when there was a funeral or a wedding.

They never read it, certainly didn't study the Hebrew or the Greek. So

they literally have no idea, they have no reference points. They are believing

what a certain book series tells them. Well, don't they realize that they

had to pay for the book? Yes, I mean if you look,

if I go up to Jose and I say, Jose, write me a

book and I'll give you five hundred dollars for it, Jose is going to

do everything he can to make it believable and entertaining, won't he? Of

course? But you understand that the Bible's free. Now I'm going to rattle

your cage because what I'm gonna tell you is true. Janine. This is

a true statement. The Bible sells more books every year than any other book,

every single year. So in nineteen seventy nine the Bible sold more copies

than any book. Last year it sold more copies than any other book.

This is a fact, Janine, It's a fact. Now I understand that,

Yes, but blow but to blow you. It's also the freest to

book you can. You realize you can call the Gideons right now and they'll

give you a Bible. Yes, you can go to almost any church and

they'll give you a Bible if you ask for it. So how can it

be the global number one best seller and yet at the same time be the

number one book that people give away? Do you have any idea how many

Bibles just missionaries give away for free in Africa? Yes? Have you ever

heard the old saying you can lead a horse to water? That's not funny.

No, it's true, it's not it's not humorous at all. Well,

ladies and gentlemen, you can look up these facts all you want to.

It is the number one best seller every year, and at the same

exact time every single year. It is the number one book that's given away

for free. Jose, Does that make sense to you? No, it's

true, Yes it is, Yeah, it is yep. I can remember

when I was a child, youngish child, and I was cleaning my mother's

house, and every week it was my job to dust the Bible. What

you heard me, I dusted it? You had to dust your bible?

Yes, And that Bible had a black elastic band around it. And as

I picked it up, I dusted the shelf underneath it, and then I

dusted the Bible. And I looked at my mother and I said, Mom,

why don't we ever read this? Oh, we can't read that for

ourselves. No, oh okay, And I walked off and dusted something else.

Why why couldn't you read it? For yourself it isn't English or did

you have a did you ever know it wasn't English? But we non clergy

type people were not smart enough nor were we holy enough to read it.

And that is the population group that most concerns me. It may be the

most sold book, it might be the most given away book, but is

it the most read book. You can take this to the bank. It

is in my house, in your house, but you and your house serve

the Lord. Jose, you're closing comments, please, We've got five minutes

left. Yeah, Matthew, this is just um to me. It's it's

building off of that that one phrase um in that day, that great day

of the Lord, which is which is the sixth seal um, which when

God comes down, it's his day when he comes down to start the tribulation.

And so that's what I'm using right now to kind of focus the time

frame and understand everything that God's thrown at me right now, because He's throwing

a lot through through just the two the chapter were last week and the chapter

reading this week. So um, I'm holding on to that day of the

Lord. Well everything else is kind of flying around right um. And And

that's what I'm using to that's my starting point to piece all these all these

um data points together. Um. But again, God keeps repeating himself over

and over. But each time he repeats himself, he gives us a little

bit clearer picture of what he's gonna do. An it's pretty amazing how he

does that. It's pretty exteptional. Yep, yeah, that's what I meant.

Ladies, gentle, you need to write that down. I said X

stephano as in, it has an extra step. That's the only way you

can describe this particular chapter. It's not one step. It has it's two

steps. Once you see it, you can't unsee it, and it'll make

you mad at all your supposed Bible prophecy experts because if they never told you

that this was talking about the two witnesses, you realize that means they didn't

know what they were talking about. Because I really didn't have and have time

to share anything about the greater details in this chapter. Because I mean,

you realize, Jose, this is true, right, We just skimmed the

surface, did I mean? I know, I said a couple of Hebrew

numbers from the strongs, but I didn't elaborate on any of them, did

I No, No, I didn't get into that. No. Well,

I'm here to tell you what's impregnated into this text will blow your mind.

Jose. After you look at it for several months, it becomes looking it's

like, I don't know, I don't know how to describe it. It's

so beautiful and so perfect and so dynamic. I guess it's kind of like

looking into a black hole. It don't blow your mind. Now. Let

me just say this again, ladies and gentlemen. If it took a mister

obvious to tell you that Isaiah chapter eleven is talking about Revelation chapter eleven,

you need a hint, and that means you ain't got a clue your way

behind the curve. And I hope you you understand this one thing. Your

father, who is in heaven, he is fully expecting you to know all

these details before they happen, because that's why he gave it to you.

Jose. Did you know? Did you know? God gave you the Bible

so that you would know what was to come? Amen? Amen, Janine,

I don't care what I don't care what your mother said, and I'm

not trying to disrespect her. No, I know, I don't care what

she said. God wrote the Bible so you would know exactly what is to

come and be able to exactly prepare yourself for that event. Amen. So

with that in mind, who's going to pray us out of here? Jose

Man Jose Dear Lord, Once again and always, I give you thanks and

praise for bringing us together, for continuously showing us your word, for showing

us how true it is, for rewarding our faithfulness and reading your word,

for rewarding our faithfulness to gather together as an eccles you and Lord. I

asked that through this faithfulness you help make us righteous, so that when that

time comes, we can be with your son, gathered together with him.

A Lord. We ask all this in the name of your son, our

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

ladies and gentlemen. Till next time, God bless, God speed,
