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

  2. Janine Jose and myself Matthew. It has been a while since we did

  3. the introduction to this, but today we're going to be continuing in the lift

  4. up the Standard series and it starts here in Isaiah chapter five. Now,

  5. Isaiah chapter five is a very complicated chapter and we've got a lot of ground

  6. to cover. But one thing is for sure. We need to pray ourselves

  7. into this and we need to pray ourselves out. So um, ladies,

  8. first, a man Jose, amen here, so please pray jan need Father.

  9. Our lives are busy and filled with obstacles, but you are sovereign overall.

  10. Open our hearts, our minds, our understanding of your word as we

  11. go through it, and sit in awe of your knowledge and your grace.

  12. Well, thank you, Father for this opportunity. Use it to teach us

  13. in Jesus name. Amen, Amen, Dedan, did you read this at

  14. all? Yes? I did? You did? Wow? You actually read

  15. it this time. That's that's awesome. I read it for she what's your

  16. opening comments about Isaiah chapter five? Like you said, it is a very

  17. complex, multilayered chapter, and I think without being immersed in the Greek and

  18. the Hebrew, perhaps it's difficult to get the full gist of it. As

  19. always, I would say, that's an as always, Yes, that that's

  20. that's never a case where it doesn't apply. What do you need? That's

  21. only because God's Word is not in English, right and it never was.

  22. And mitter of fact, you know, this is usually a shock of the

  23. system when I say this in the pulpit or in the classroom. It's not

  24. in Hebrew either, because Hebrews not don't have enough information that shocks them.

  25. Oh oh you mean, yeah, you teach a lot from the Greek.

  26. You must be talking about the Greek. No, that don't have enough either.

  27. It's a binary code, people. Let me say that again. God's

  28. Word is a binary code comprised of the Hebrew and the Greek. You have

  29. to put the two together. It's like ones and zeros in a binary code.

  30. So don't understand this that that is really only one of those layers.

  31. This is highly complex. I mean take note. I'm gonna say this again

  32. very slowly. Both Hebrew and Greek never had Arabic numerals, not ever,

  33. and sometimes that confuses people what's a numeral one, twos, and threes.

  34. Those are Arabic innovations made up by Fibonacci. Most people know the Fibonacci number.

  35. He's the one that came up with Arabic numerals in the early seven hundreds.

  36. Those were never in the Bible, God's Holy Word. Most of you

  37. are able to at least grab a hold of Revelation. When it talks about

  38. six to sixty six, you think in your mind. Oh, in Greek

  39. it says it has three numerals six. No, it doesn't half numerals.

  40. It has alpha numerics. It has three letters that equate two, six hundred

  41. and sixty six. So take note just what this chapter does. You all

  42. need to memorize the end time integers. Those end time integers are two thousand

  43. and three hundred from Daniel, thirteen thirty five from Daniel one thousand, tier

  44. and ninety from Daniel one thousand, two sixty, which is mentioned prophetically by

  45. Daniel. Daniel calls it times time and a half time, and another place

  46. it says it's time, times and the dividing of time. You need to

  47. know those in time integers. They are incorporated in here alpha numerically. I

  48. mean, this is just gonna blow your mind. The two thousand and three

  49. hundred sequence is in the Hebrew in verse five and six. It's also in

  50. verse ten. The one thousand, undred sixty integer is in verse seventeen.

  51. It's also in verse twenty five. The thirteen thirty five integer is in verse

  52. four and verse thirty. The one thousand, un ninety is in verse twenty.

  53. Now me just saying that, ladies and gentlemen, there is no odds

  54. that all those in time integers are incorporated into this one chapter like that,

  55. there is no odds. I mean, there comes a threshold. All mathematicians

  56. know this. If you have an odd that is one in a million,

  57. that's an impossibility. So Jeanine's saying this is highly complex is a gross understatement.

  58. So no one understand this, Ladies and gentlemen. God's word has a

  59. whole lot more information than what you're reading in the English, irregardless of translation.

  60. So who will say, what's your opening comments on Isaiah chapter five?

  61. So when I was reading this today, Matthew, there's a whole lot of

  62. pointers to stuff we've read in the Gospel, and so it kind of sounds

  63. similar to what you heard in the gospel. But but it's a little bit

  64. different, right, But throughout this whole chapter, it's it's like you can

  65. literally stop, go to the gospel and read something on that, come back,

  66. and then you get two verses down and you have to go right back

  67. to the gospel because you're like, hey, I remember, you know Jesus

  68. saying something about this, you know, throughout the whole chapter. So it's

  69. and I don't know, I don't know, I don't know the best description

  70. for it, Matthew, But it's just like, um, it's like saying,

  71. there's a reason why they were saying this about Jesus. There's a reason

  72. why Jesus said this. There's a reason why John the Baptists said this,

  73. and it's it's obviously it's prophetic. I'm not gonna say it's not prophetic,

  74. but it's more it's more like relaying information that unless you unless you know those

  75. alpha numerics, and unless you can remember what was being said in the gospel,

  76. you won't know to come back here and try to try to get more

  77. details about what's actually being said. Well, I've got to say this,

  78. you, Jesus is absolutely lutely preaching from this in Mark twelve. Amene.

  79. No, no, no, no, not a little bit. No no,

  80. no, no, no. Jesus is preaching from Isaiah chapter five.

  81. Yes he is. I will quote here. You will quickly see Jesus is

  82. quoting from this chapter. That's how important this is. Mark chapter twelve,

  83. verse one. And he began to speak to them in parables. A man

  84. planet a vineyard and put a wall around it, and dug a that under

  85. the wine press, and built a tower, and rented it out to Brian

  86. growers, and went on a journey. Ladies and gentlemen, he is directly

  87. quoting the parable of the vineyard. And I'll read it to you Isaiah chapter

  88. five. Let me sing now for my well beloved, a song of my

  89. beloved concerning his vineyard. My well beloved had a vineyard on a fertile hilt.

  90. He dug it all around and remove it stones. He planted it with

  91. the choices vine He built a tower in the middle of it. He also

  92. shooed out a wine vat in it. Then he expected it to produce good

  93. grapes, but it produced only worthless ones. Yes, ladies and gentlemen,

  94. Jesus is preaching exactly from this chapter, and he goes way out of his

  95. way in Mark chapter twelve to affirm this, using this very this very chapter

  96. Nieddah chapter five. That fulfillment theology is true. It's not debatable because if

  97. we read Mark chapter twelve through, he absolutely declares and they even know who

  98. he's talking about. Okay, verse twelve. I'm just just so you know.

  99. They knew exactly who he was talking about verse twelve, and they were

  100. seeking to seize him. And yet they feared the people, for they understood

  101. that he spoke the parable against them, and so they left him and went

  102. away. The Bible just told you, beyond any shadow of a doubt that

  103. Isaiah chapter five is targeting the Judaist. Yes it is, and they knew

  104. it. So we all need to understand what's going on here. So whatever's

  105. coming up in this chapter is exceedingly important. It's exceedingly important. So I

  106. hope everybody can wrap their mind around what I just said. Now, we

  107. could get lost in the data right now if I wanted to stop and just

  108. relaying to your cross references. And most of you are probably upset right now

  109. because you know the mainstay of this ministry is the New American Standard Bible,

  110. the ninety five update. You're probably get a little bit set because you can't

  111. seem to find Isaiah chapter five in those footnotes for Mark chapter twelve. You're

  112. setting there thing of yourself. Now, something ain't right, and I'll do

  113. it. I'll read off to you the cross references provided by the New American

  114. Standard Bible PSAWM eighty, The Song of Songs Chapter eight, Matthew twenty one,

  115. Matthew twenty five, Mark twelve, Mark thirteen, Jeremiah two, Jeremiah

  116. twelve, Mark twenty one, Luke twenty. If you need a hint,

  117. you ain't got it, lou somebody went way out of their way to make

  118. sure you did not know if you were a lay person that Jesus is preaching

  119. from Isaiah chapter five. I'm stating that with authority. So whatever is getting

  120. ready to be said in Isaiah chapter five, you better know and understand it's

  121. detrimental to your survival. But that's really all you need to know. So

  122. with that in mind, we're going to take a look at these at the

  123. stanza in question that we're going to be covering here, and it's just verses

  124. twenty six through thirty. I'm gonna read it, and we're gonna get Janine

  125. and Jose's comments. Let me say this again, Isaiah, chapter five,

  126. starting in verse twenty six, reading through to verse thirty. He will also

  127. lift up a standard to the distant nation, and will whistle for it from

  128. the ends of the earth. And behold, it will come with speech swiftly.

  129. No one in it is weary or stumbles. None slumbers or sleeps,

  130. nor is the belt at its waist undone, nor its sandal strap broken.

  131. It's our rows are sharp, and all of its bows are bent. The

  132. hoofs of its horses seem like flint, and its chariot wheels like a whirlwind.

  133. Its roaring is like a lioness, and it roars like young lions.

  134. It growls as it seizes its prey and carry feet off with none to deliver,

  135. and it will growl over it, and that day, like the roaring

  136. of the sea. If one looks to the land, behold there is darkness

  137. and distress. Even the light is darkened by its clouds. So this is

  138. where we get the idea that this stay endered. Whatever it is, this

  139. sign is pretty important. So Janine, let me get your comments on that.

  140. Who do you think he's talking about? He is he talking about good

  141. guys? Are bad guys? What sounds like the great and terrible day of

  142. the Lord? It sure does, all right, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

  143. it does, Yes, it does. Now the problem is is that,

  144. you know, we have to accept something, ladies and gentlemen. The

  145. Assyrian false prophet is also at the behest of the Lord because he is God,

  146. and what he does he does with God's say so. And we were

  147. just told that whatever his mechanation is and his horde is absolutely supernatural and it's

  148. charged by God. And you not stop it, not with nukes, not

  149. with torpedoes, not with land minds. You are not stop it. Jose

  150. your thoughts on these verses, Boy, Matthew, when you read just that

  151. stands up by itself, it's sure sounds it's sure sounds like that acts that

  152. the Lord's brought. Um. I mean, it's it's pretty terrible picture he's

  153. painting here. You know what this this that nation is gonna do? Um.

  154. Yeah, that's that's a nice little puzzle there, I'm Matthew, it

  155. is. It is a nice little puzzle there. Yeah, I guess we

  156. would have to figure out the time frame that God's talking about here about when

  157. this destination comes in? What is what is that standard that signals it to

  158. come in? When that standard will be lifted up? Um, Now it

  159. does say right there in verse thirty on that day, and that's that's the

  160. triggered word for me when I see that that's him, Yes, the great

  161. and Terrible day of the Lord. Yes, that's that's that's the Lord God.

  162. That's right, he owes it. So at this point you would have

  163. to agree. Um, we would need to read the preceding verses to find

  164. out what's going on, because, believe me, Jose, you know,

  165. one of the most probably disturbing things that you've heard me say to the beginning

  166. is this that probably confused you when you heard it, because I don't talk

  167. like your priest, do I? Jose? What's that? I don't talk

  168. your priest talk, do I? No, No, Matthew, you don't.

  169. I've always stated that this to you from the beginning. God don't care,

  170. Jose. He's going to tell you because he don't care if you no,

  171. We're not amen right out and tell you you nine percent of the time

  172. we don't like that, Doe Jose, No, Matthew, especially when it

  173. comes to your you know, your mom finding cookie crumbs on your breeches and

  174. she asked you did you get in the cookie jar? And you're setting everything

  175. to yourself. I could lie right right ninety nine percent of the time,

  176. Ladies and gentlemen, your nature goes against God's law, so you need to

  177. accept it. God will come out and say He's impregnated things into this text.

  178. Not for Tom Dick, or Harry or Peter, Paula Mary. If

  179. you are saved through the Lord Jesus Christ, and you know you're on the

  180. island of Samoa, guess what Isaiah chapter five is for you personally? If

  181. you have been saved through the Lord Jesus Christ, he's talking to you.

  182. So who wants to read these verses? Because I read the stands itself,

  183. I think somebody else should read them. I will which one's all of it?

  184. Starting from where, start from the top. Give it to me both

  185. barrels, swear in the chest starting with the beginning of chapter five. Yes,

  186. it's the para all of the vineyard. Let me sing now for my

  187. well beloved, a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard. My well beloved

  188. had a vineyard on a fertile hill, and he dug it all around,

  189. removed its stones, implanted it with the choicest vine He built a tower in

  190. the middle of it, and hewed out a wine vat in it. Then

  191. he expected it to produce good grapes, but it produced only worthless ones.

  192. And now own inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge between me and

  193. my vineyard. What more was there to do for my vineyard that I have

  194. not done in it? Why when I expected it to produce good grapes,

  195. did it produce worthless ones. So now let me tell you what I am

  196. going to do to my vineyard. I will remove its hedge and it will

  197. be consumed. I will break down its wall and it will become trampled ground,

  198. and I will lay it waste. It will not be pruned or hold.

  199. The briars and thorns will come up. I will also charge the clouds

  200. to rain no rain on it. For the vineyard of the Lord of Hosts

  201. is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his delightful plant.

  202. Thus he looked for justice, but behold bloodshed for righteousness. But behold a

  203. cry of distress. Let me interject right here. If you're wondering who he's

  204. talking about in verse seven, you need to read Romans Chattered nine through eleven,

  205. and there is no doubt who he's talking about. He's talking directly to

  206. you, the Christian who is redeemed through Christ the Lord. Amen, and

  207. you better figure this out right now. Before whatever event he's talking about,

  208. you will not get your latter rain. Do you hear me, Jose,

  209. Amen, be most readily assured. Verse six is going to happen, and

  210. it's going to happen before this day. Let me say that again, the

  211. latter rain blessing will not come before this event. Now he's getting ready to

  212. I mean, I'm glad that we read a little bit from Mark chapter twelve,

  213. because now you understand what Judah is. I'm going to say it very

  214. clean clergy. Let me say that again. I didn't say Methodist or Presbyterians.

  215. I didn't say classic Catholics. I didn't say Wesleyans. I said clergy,

  216. all of them. Janine, Yes, we don't have time for that.

  217. God just told me to shut up. Continue on the verse eight,

  218. Please woes for the wicked. Woe to those who add house to house and

  219. join field to field until there is no more room, so that you have

  220. to live alone in the midst of the land. In my ears, the

  221. Lord of Hosts has sworn. Surely many houses shall become desolate, even great

  222. and fine ones without occupants. For ten acres of vineyard will yield only one

  223. bath of wine, and an omer of feed will yield but an efa of

  224. grain. Woe to those who rise early in the mornings that they may pursue

  225. strong drink, who stay up late in the evening, that wine may inflame

  226. them. And their banquets are accompanied by lyre and harp, by tambourine and

  227. flute, and by wine. But they do not pay attention to the deeds

  228. of the Lord, nor do they consider the work of his hands. Therefore,

  229. my people go into exile for their lack of knowledge, and their honorable

  230. men are famished, and their multitude is parched with thirst. Therefore Chaol has

  231. enlarged his throat and opened its mouth without measure, and Jerusalem splendor, her

  232. multitude, her din of revelry, and the jubilant within her descend into it.

  233. So the common man will be humbled, and the man of importance abased.

  234. The eyes of the proud also will be base, But the Lord of

  235. hosts will be exalted in judgment, and the Holy God will show himself wholly

  236. in righteousness. Then the lamb's will grace says, they're in their pasture,

  237. and strangers will eat in the waste places of the wealthy. Woe to those

  238. who drag iniquity with the chords of falsehood and sin, as if with cart

  239. ropes, who say, let him make speed, let him hasten his work

  240. that we may see it, and let the purpose of the Holy One of

  241. Israel draw near and come to pass, that we may know it. Woe

  242. to those who call evil good and good evil, who substitute darkness for light,

  243. and light for darkness, who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.

  244. Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their

  245. own sight. Woe to those who are heroes and drinking wine, and valiant

  246. men in mixing strong drink, who justify the wicked for a bribe, and

  247. take away the rights of the ones who are in the right. Therefore,

  248. as a tongue of fire consumes stubble and dry grass collapses into the flame,

  249. so their root will become like rot, and their blossom blow away as dust.

  250. For they have rejected the law of the Lord of Hosts and despised the

  251. word of the Holy One of Israel. On this account, the Angel of

  252. the Lord has burned against his people, and he has stretched out his hand

  253. against them and struck them down. The mountains quaked, and their corpses lay

  254. like refuse in the middle of the streets. For all his anger is not

  255. spent, but his hand is still stretched out. Here. He will also

  256. lift up a standard to the distant nation, and we'll whistle for it from

  257. the ends of the earth. And behold, it will come with speed,

  258. swiftly. No one in it is weary or stumbles. No one slumbers or

  259. sleeps, Nor is the belt at its waist undone, nor it's sandal strap

  260. broken. Its arrows are sharp, and all its bows are bent. The

  261. hoofs of its horses seem like flint, and its chariot wheels like a whirlwind.

  262. It's roaring is like a lioness, and it roars like young lions.

  263. It growls as it seizes the prey and carries it off with no one to

  264. deliver it, and it shall growl over it in that day like the roaring

  265. of the sea. If one looks to the land, behold there is darkness

  266. and distress. Even the light is darkened by its clouds. Joy. Why

  267. there's the phrase that kept coming up. Matthew was swift and the booty speedy

  268. is the prey Amen, man, I mean I can't I that's that's just

  269. what I keep seeing here. And riddle meant Jose works from well, that's

  270. Isaiah, Isaiah aid if I if I believe that's right, We're not there

  271. yet, right. One thing, I noticed that this nation that he whistles,

  272. he's calling it like a dog. And it reminds me of what Shakespeare

  273. the line, one of the lines from Shakespeare, Um, cry havoc,

  274. and let loose the dogs of wars. And that's exactly what I seek here

  275. it um. The impression that you're getting from these verses is that these warriors

  276. are perhaps not human because they do not undo their belts, They never tire,

  277. their sandals are never undone or broken, so unlike a human army,

  278. where those things happen all the time. The bows are always bent, the

  279. arrows are always sharp. How could the bows always be bent? Well,

  280. if you have a crossbow or the lanyard, Okay, I'll give you that,

  281. although there's doesn't say crossbow. No, it does not, and I'm

  282. not certain if both were a weapon back in those days, and we both

  283. would agree. I don't care how strong you are. You're not gonna tread.

  284. You're not going to do any traveling and keep your bow bent the entire

  285. time, are you not? If you're human? No, can't do it.

  286. You can't. I mean, you realize that it was saying that it's

  287. bows were bent while it was driving the chariots. People don't do that,

  288. Geneva. No, they don't, especially when they're not in range. Right,

  289. if there's nothing to shoot at, why there's no point? So,

  290. Jose, do you think this is natural or well? No, I said

  291. that wrong, because supernatural can also pertain to people. Is this is this

  292. human or non human entities? Now that this I mean, if this is

  293. the Assyrian Matthew, if this is the acts in the Lord's hand, he's

  294. bringing an angelic hoast with him. Um, I'm taken over to Deuteronomy twenty

  295. eight, and boy, this this distant nation has not have good things said

  296. about it, not at all. No. Um. A nation of fierce

  297. countenance is also how it's described. Um. It will not show favor to

  298. the it will not regard the person of the old north shark favor to the

  299. young. Um. Yeah, you're redoter out of me twenty eight. And

  300. and what's talking about this distant nation. It's it's not it's not um.

  301. It's not coming to do nice things. It's not coming to play. Tiddley

  302. winks, No, it's not the peace Corps. And he's he's taught Lord's

  303. talking to his people in Deuteronutomy twenty eight. Yeah. He he says,

  304. this is what's going to happen for your disobedience. And this is absolutely it's

  305. absolutely what Isaiah chapter five just said, right right, God's hired out it.

  306. And you know, I need to be direct with you, but okay,

  307. you need to understand that what is overran the church now is lawlessness.

  308. Okay. They seem to have tricked the Western Church and the Eastern Church,

  309. ladies and gentlemen. Lawlessness is also known as antinomianism because that's from the Greek

  310. lawless. It's when you don't believe you have to follow the moral law to

  311. enter heaven. It's called free grace. So I need to be very careful

  312. to make sure you understand what just come out of my mouth. God the

  313. Father does not take kindly to his clergy teaching his sheep this. I mean,

  314. this is literally overran the church. Jose. Would you agree, Yeah?

  315. I would agree with that, Matthew. Yes. So everybody needs to

  316. know that right now. If you've been taught free grace, you're in for

  317. a world of hurt because God he don't here. And if you think He's

  318. going to permit a whore to marry his son, you are grossly mistake.

  319. A liar is a liar, Jose. A liar is not a Christian.

  320. Amen. If you will own a pornography website, you're not a Christian,

  321. Jose. Amen, Jane. If you're an accountain and you're skimming off the

  322. top and stealing from your customers, you're not a Christian. You're a thief,

  323. Janine. Right, I think there's a couple of people that need to

  324. mute their mic. I have a little lot of feedback that's not now.

  325. And then the other one six for one, thank you. He says that

  326. right, there in verse twenty. Whoa whoa to those who call evil good

  327. and good evil, who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, who

  328. substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. I mean, my gosh,

  329. they're even doing it to the beer. If you've been following the bud light

  330. controversy, I'm sorry I wasted my time, but you know, I mean,

  331. it's just indicative of what is happening, right, and some people that's

  332. not even how do I say that politely? Some people that have that are

  333. obviously not sanctified is taking high umbrage with it. It's very offensive to them,

  334. and they haven't been sanctified. Now, I'm not saying they're not Christians

  335. or not, because I'm sure if you ask them, they say, yeah,

  336. I'm a Christian. I'm a billy Bob, of course i am.

  337. You know. I was born in Kentucky. Of course I'm a Christian,

  338. you know. And so I'm not saying that. I'm saying that they're obviously

  339. not sanctified in their uncouth mannerisms. But yes, Janine, they're they're because

  340. this is offensive, Janine, because everybody knows this. I don't care if

  341. you go ask a Catholic. A Catholic will hold to the law, to

  342. the testimony. Every Catholic will tell you, of course you have to obey

  343. them moral law. Of course, abortionists aren't going to heaven. All right,

  344. You didn't understand what I said, right, Okay, Go ask a

  345. Presbyterian. Any Presbyterian setting in the peple will tell you, of course you

  346. can't rob banks and enter the Kingdom of heaven. But this is exactly what

  347. the clergy is doing. The clergy is doing this so that they can collect

  348. the ties of the wealthy. That's what I said. That's what I meant.

  349. And if you think God is going to tolerate it, you're in for

  350. a world to heart. Because just so you know, who has mentioned there

  351. in this chapter is Judah, who is mentioned in Mark chapter twelve as the

  352. Pharisees. You better figure it out. It's the clergy. Yes, So

  353. it doesn't matter, Janine, if you're going to an Episcopalian church, it

  354. don't matter. It's common knowledge that you must hold to the moral law.

  355. You cannot and the love of money is the root of all evil, but

  356. not all Just so you know that the reason why I said that ladies and

  357. gentlemen, don't think. Don't think that. I don't know that. Many

  358. pastors will teach that that as long as you're not stealing money, it's not

  359. a sin. So you can abort your babies, you can murder infants,

  360. you can rape little girls and still go to heaven because the Bible says the

  361. only thing you can't do is steal money. Look, I'm just here to

  362. inform you listen to my voice. You need to hearken to my voice.

  363. Lord. He's God and he is absolutely no respecter of persons, and you

  364. need to come to grips with this. The Bible repeatedly says that you're going

  365. to have to deal with him before you get to be entertained by his son.

  366. All the verses in the Bible say that, all of them, you

  367. get to go to the King's house and be entertained by the king, and

  368. he chooses who gets to go to the wedding ceremony. Imaginine, Amen,

  369. He don't say it a couple of times, as he jose, Nope,

  370. he says it every time. So it just needs you all to know that

  371. this day is coming. It's his day. Now. Reading this in context

  372. makes you think, well, what about the Book of Joel, and maybe

  373. maybe we should do something on Joel in the future, because well, the

  374. things described of Joel's army, which is four different when you read it in

  375. the Hebrew, it's four different types of entities and they ain't people. It

  376. brings remembrances to me of that army described in Joel, which, by the

  377. way, just so you know, God says that's his army, right,

  378. Jose, Yes he does. So. Janine, your comments, I think

  379. I'm commented out. Really really, you started me thinking about Joel, and

  380. I'm like, oh Joel, Yes, it's like, oh, shiny okay.

  381. You know, Janine, you're good with numbers, right, Yes,

  382. I'm gonna say something very calculated. Oh okay, I don't want your response

  383. on it. Indoctrination must be reinforced with lies. Edification is confirmed by facts.

  384. Everybody better figure this out. Whoever's in the pulpit, and I don't

  385. care who they are, or whoever is at the head of the classroom,

  386. you better figure out they're doing one of two things. They're either indoctrinating you

  387. or you're edifying you. Janet, your thoughts on that it is? It

  388. truly that black and white. I would say it would have to be because

  389. there's no metal ground it's holy or it's profane. That's right, there's there's

  390. no metal. Well yeah, sort of kind of part holy, part profane.

  391. No, No, that's im that's the issue with being human, because

  392. we were meant to be holy and instead we became profane through the sin of

  393. Adam. That's right. And the rest all of history is written, and

  394. the trust of it all is redeeming adams sin in all of us. That's

  395. right. We learned that in Hebrews, right, yes, and Genesis through

  396. the maps. Yeah. But I opened the Book of I happened to open

  397. my Bible. That just fell open to Joel. Imagine that chapter two.

  398. Imagine that, blow a trumpet in Zion and sound an alarm on my holy

  399. mountain. Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of

  400. the Lord is come. I mean, surely it is near. A day

  401. of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the

  402. dawness spread over the mountains. Well, you realize he's quoting from Isaiah chapter

  403. five. We just read that. Yes, it's the personal thing verse thirty

  404. and it will growl over it in that day like the roaring of the sea.

  405. If one looks to the land, behold there is darkness and distress.

  406. Even the light is darkened by its clouds. And that does not sound like

  407. a human army to me? What's us? Kose? Did you catch what

  408. God actually said there? Jose? Because if you, if you love riddles,

  409. you understood what he just said. Let me read it one more time.

  410. Even the light is darkened by its clouds, Jose? How can light

  411. be darkened only if you're covering up the light source? No, hovering it

  412. up does it make the light dark? Right? It just presents you from

  413. seeing it. So what is a actually being stated here? People? That

  414. the nature of light is being changed in that instance? Well, the best

  415. way we could relay this so that people are edified, it is very simple

  416. for an electrician, gen mean, you do know what a dimmer switches?

  417. Don't you? A real stat Yes? And tell me what is this thing?

  418. What does it do? Well, in a basic as it trottles back

  419. the power to the light. So you're saying it's a dimmer switch, yes,

  420. okay, Let that sink in, ladies and gentlemen, there's only one

  421. way to darken light, it's to dim it. And this is saying that

  422. whatever this cloud is, it absorbs hmm. It is saying that this cloud

  423. has the power to take the energy out of the electromagnetic spectrum. Oh oh,

  424. that's not a good thing. Good How would I define good? That's

  425. a very interesting way to put that good. Perhaps I should say it doesn't

  426. sound like it would necessarily be beneficial to a human being. I definitely,

  427. yeah, I would agree. You know what's interesting to me is is here

  428. in this verse in the alpha numerics has incorporated the thirteen thirty five sequence.

  429. Now I know what that means, Janine, I'm not like other people.

  430. I don't guess. I'm telling you I know what that means. I know

  431. exactly what that means. So can anybody remember what that thirteen thirty five pertains

  432. to? Jose? How about you? Yeah? Well, he's it's when

  433. when Dan speaks of Um. First she talks about the twelve ninety, and

  434. then he talks about um surviving past that to the to the thirteen thirty five.

  435. So that that space and time, that space and that space and space

  436. and time where where God's got everything going topsy turvy. And and you've got

  437. you've got to endure that, um, that time frame where we're not gonna

  438. be able to tell up from down. We're not gonna be able to tell

  439. what day, what day it is, what time of day it is?

  440. Or you know, um, heck if you if if that, if the

  441. light is not it's dark, and Matthew, how are we gonna be able

  442. to tell what time of day it is? Good point, Let's let's read

  443. this, Okay, you know what? I better read the verse before it?

  444. Wow, verse ten? I mean, surely all of you know what

  445. chapter I'm reading from anyway, verse ten. Many will be purged here,

  446. refied and refined. But the wicked will act wickedly, and none of the

  447. wicked will understand. But those who have insight will understand. From the time

  448. that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the obolionation of desolation is set up,

  449. there will be one thousand, two hundred ninety days. How blessed is he

  450. who keeps waiting and attained to the thirteen thirty five days. But as for

  451. you, go your way to the end. Lord, have mercy ready,

  452. gentlemen, do you understand what he said? You don't do you that's all

  453. right. I'll finish it anyway. Then you will enter into you rest and

  454. rise again for your allotted portion at the end of the age. Now,

  455. just so you know, the Lord was kind enough to tell you in Isaiah

  456. chapter five how long this was gonna last. You can take this to the

  457. bank, kose, Just so you know. Okay, Janine, I need

  458. you to be up to speed on this because there's coming a time. There's

  459. gonna be four, there's gonna be forty five days. You're have to pull

  460. your bootstraps up. Okay, Okay, So you don't need to be wishy

  461. washy, you don't need to have you know, you know, false hopes

  462. and delusions of grandeur. Janine, Now you know you're gonna be throttled for

  463. forty five days. Now you know I both know psychologically that's half the battle,

  464. right, It's yeah, once you're in a situation, what breaks most

  465. people psyche is there not knowing how long it's going to be, how long

  466. this is going to take, right right, which is why the psalms emphasize

  467. that our dependence has to be upon the Lord. That has to be our

  468. focus, that will get us through that hey man, Amen, especially if

  469. you know what he's doing, right, Amen, or even if you don't,

  470. you just know that it's his plan. You know, ladies and gentlemen,

  471. I could relay this to some you know, I need, I need

  472. to give jose a chance to speak, or what's your thoughts, No,

  473. Matthew, I mean it's everywhere. Everywhere this chapter takes you when you're trying

  474. to study it out. It's again, it's like you said, it's good

  475. reminding you what he says from the beginning, follow his law and listen to

  476. the testimony of his son. It tells us right here in this chapter in

  477. verse two, he expects good grapes, but he's getting worthless ones. And

  478. he's talking about the vineyard. He's talking about us. He's talking about the

  479. church today. Yes, just let me interject. He makes it perfectly clear

  480. in mark chapter twelve that this is all the laborer's fault. Yes, and

  481. the laborers is Judah, the laborers is the clergy. Go ahead. So

  482. he says in verse twelve that they do not pay attention to the deeds of

  483. the Lord, nor do they consider the work of his hands. So to

  484. me, Matthew, that's saying you're not doing the will of God. You're

  485. doing your own will. You're you're moving things and you're our orchestrating things um

  486. to benefit you so that you can you can feed while the rest of the

  487. flock starves. And I mean it's it's it's pretty simple. But God's just

  488. giving you immense details. And again He's repeated himself over and over and over

  489. and over and over. Just follow my law, listen to the testimony of

  490. my son, and everything will be all right. But you know there's a

  491. bunch of knuckleheads running around, Matthew. So that's just it's it's again.

  492. It ties it all into the gospels, right, That's that's what that's the

  493. gospel message over and over and over. Not my will be done, Lord,

  494. but yours. So I think that's what we need to take away from

  495. this chapter. Um, you know, the details blow. The detail that

  496. he gives us blow, prophetic details he gives us just blows me away.

  497. But that that's just the way Lord started off this chapter. That's that's the

  498. important part there, Matthews. And when you get to the desert, don't

  499. whine, I don't whine. Let me throw this in here real quick,

  500. because we've only got seven minutes left. Sometimes I have to cut to the

  501. chase, and we're going to talk about who the leaders are. Okay,

  502. not take note. It's perfectly obvious from the Exodus account who's numbered now.

  503. I'm sorry if you've never been told this before, but this is the people

  504. who is in charge. This is from Numbers chapter one. This phrase from

  505. twenty years old and upward, whoever is able to go out to war is

  506. in this chapter fourteen times. Verse three from twenty years old and upward,

  507. whoever is able to go out to war in Israel, you and Aaron shall

  508. number them by their armies. Was The next time is verse twenty. Now

  509. the sons of Reuben is firstborn, their genealogical registration by the families, by

  510. their father's households, according to the number of names, head by head,

  511. every male from twenty years old and upward, whoever is able to go out

  512. to ward? Janine, is this talking about anybody's grandmother? No, you

  513. need to understand what happens, and we don't have time to read all through

  514. this. We don't have time to go to Numbers chapter fourteen and have me

  515. explain it to you. All the people that were cursed, they died,

  516. every one of them. I swear you know what. I'm going to read

  517. a little bit from numbers chapter fourteen, but not the whole thing. So

  518. you need to hearken to my voice, because what I'm going to reach you

  519. is true. Verse five. Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces in

  520. the presence of the assembly of the Congregation of the Sons of Israel. Joshua

  521. was the son of None, and Caleb, the son of Jetna, of

  522. those who had spied out the land toward their closed and they spoke to all

  523. the Congregation of Israel, saying, the land which we passed through to spy

  524. out is an exceedingly good land. If the Lord is pleased with us,

  525. then he will bring us into the land and give it to us, a

  526. land with flows with milk and honey. Verse nine. Only do not rebel

  527. against the Lord, and do not fear the people of the land, for

  528. they will be our prey. Their protection has been removed from them, and

  529. the Lord is with us. Do not fear them. Verse ten. But

  530. all the congregations said to stone them with stone. Than the glory of the

  531. Lord appeared at the kind of meeting to all the sons of Israel. I'm

  532. gonna ask you a very stupid question, Jose. Did Moses and Aaron enter

  533. the Promised Land? No? You better get this straight, ladies and gentlemen.

  534. The book of numbers serves the reason. And if you don't understand that,

  535. he's saying that all the leaders will be numbered, and he just gave

  536. to you detailed instruction as to what was going to be the end of those

  537. leaders in Isaiah chapter five. And you can take this to the bank on

  538. his great day. Oh he's going to number them. Oh yes he will.

  539. Now, just for a further commentation. You know what. No,

  540. the Lord's tell him not to do that. I've given you too much information

  541. as it is, Janine and Jose, and I have shared with you tonight

  542. how you can survive this event because the Lord he is not happy when he

  543. gets here. And whatever is coming has the ability to dim light. So

  544. get it out of your head that it's an Apache helicopter that you can shoot

  545. down, or a tank that you can knock the track out off, because

  546. it ain't closing comments, Janine, Is that the outer darkness? Don't you

  547. love Janine? Jose, Janine, you amaze me how I had no intention

  548. of revealing that to anybody. Sorry, no, I'm not. You know,

  549. ladies and gentlemen. There you have it now, the sheep. No,

  550. I was at your closing comments. No, I think Janine summed it

  551. up perfectly and nothing I can add to that. Matthew, No, there's

  552. you know, yeah, that speriod at the end of the sentence, and

  553. of course I wait till the very last minute. Yeah, yeah, I

  554. know, yeah, yeah. But it's not the first time today that you

  555. you made sure that I did what was right, even though that's very private.

  556. Nobody else knows that. But ladies and gentlemen's not the first time that

  557. Janine made sure that Matthew did what was right. And that's a godly thing.

  558. Thank you for saying that. That blesses me. So you're welcome.

  559. You are welcome, well, ladies and gentlemen. If you want to find

  560. more stuff Patreon dot com. Matthew Miller, that's where you find me.

  561. Jose Price out of here, please, we're at the top of the hour.

  562. Dear Lord, I thank you and praise you for allowing us to gather

  563. together. Lord. I treasure these times where I can get together with my

  564. brothers and sisters and study your word. Lord, and I thank you for

  565. sharing us what you have stored in your word. Lord. I just asked

  566. that you open up the hearts of those that needed to hear this, that

  567. you helped bring those last sheet to your flock before your great day. Lord,

  568. And we just ask that you do all this to glorify you and to

  569. glorify your son. And we ask all this in the name of your son,

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

  571. and Amen. Till next time, as you have said, say that again,

  572. Johnnie, may it be as you have said. Amen, God,

  573. Blessing, God Speed, ladies and gentlemen, till next time.
