Beginning of God’s Wrath

Hello and welcome everybody. Welcome YouTube to my live stream.

For this lunchtime live stream, we're going to be talking

about the beginning of God's wrath. Now, the Bible is

very clear what completes God's wrath. We're going to talk

about the beginning of God's wrath. So we're going to

pick this up in Romans chapter 1, verses 18 and 19.

Romans 1:18

It's very clear. It's very plain. So, The rest of

this chapter goes into great length to describe these things,

but we're going to keep this simple and short and

go from here right to Matthew 22 and 25 where

he lays down the law, so to speak. So, for

the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all

ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in

unrighteousness Because what may be known of God is manifest

in them, for God has shown it to them. You

must be born again. You must be baptized in the

Holy Spirit. This is not talking about who the church

wants it to be talking about. That's not what they want.

So let's go to Matthew chapter 22. And we're going

Matthew 22 · chapter mention

to read this opening parable here, the first 14 verses.

Take note, the Lord Jesus Christ never makes his arrival.

The wedding is never described here. The wedding never takes place.

And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables

and said, the kingdom of God is like a certain

king who arranged a marriage for his son and sent

out his servants to call those who were invited to

the wedding and they were not willing to come. Again,

he sent out another servant saying, tell those who are invited, see,

I have prepared my dinner, my oxen, my fatted cattle

are killed and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.

But they made light of it and went their ways,

went to his own farm, another to his own business,

and the rest were seized. His servants treated them spitefully

and killed them. Let's move to the shade, shall we?

Getting a little hot here standing in the direct sunlight.

So let's switch it up. No big deal here for

Maranatha Ministries. Verse 7. But when the king heard about it,

so take note, this is talking about God the Father.

This is categorically God the Father. But when the king

heard about it, he was furious and he sent out

his armies, destroyed those murderers and burned up their cities.

Then he said to his servants, the wedding is ready,

but those who were invited were not worthy. Therefore, go

into the highways, and as many as you find, invite

to the wedding. Take note. Up until this point, he's

talking about the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. Yes,

he is. He has obliterated them and their city. Jesus

Christ was telling the truth. So anyway, verse 10. So

those servants went out into the highways and gathered together

all whom they could find, both good and bad. See?

So here you're talking about the tares and the wheat.

You're talking about the sheep and the goats. And the

wedding hall was filled with guests. But when the king

came in to see the guests, He saw a man

there who did not have on a wedding garment. You see,

our wedding garments are the righteous acts of the saints.

You must be born again. You must be filled with

the Holy Spirit and put to death your habitual sinning.

You need to be free of all your psychological addictions

and all your physical addictions. before you can be born again.

Let's continue. So he said to him, Friend, how did

you come in here without a wedding garment? And he

was speechless. Then the king said to the servants, Bind him,

hand and foot. Take him away and cast him into

the outer darkness. He's going into the great tribulation. There

will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, for many are called,

but few are chosen. The chosen have been born again.

They've been filled with the Holy Spirit. Now take note.

Those of you that have been born again, you're embedded

inside of these congregations full of people there without any

wedding vows. Take note. Did the wedding ever happen? Did

the return of Christ ever come? No. This is talking

about during the Great Tribulation. But during the Great Tribulation,

those of us who did have on wedding garments we

are there in this protected place that God has prepared

for us just like he's called it his barn he's

going to call it his barn in other parables but

he calls it his sheepfold he calls it his pasture

that's where you're going to be during the great tribulation

not in heaven no prophet ever said you were going

to go to heaven no prophet so With this in mind,

do we have confirmation of this? Where is this guy at? Okay,

they threw him outside, right? So he's right outside the

door in the darkness. You're supposed to know that in

chapter 20, there in chapter 25, he does the same

exact thing. Yes, he does. So the parable of the

wise and foolish versions. Remember, the... Latin word here for

wise is discretus. Only those who are discreet. Only those

who are wise. What is the root word for discreet?

What does that mean? It means to divide, to separate.

Look up the etymology. Yes it does. Verse 1 of

Matthew chapter 25, he's going to do it again. And

Matthew 25 · chapter mention

That person without the wedding garments that got cast outside

the door, guess who joins him? Guess who joins him?

There's going to be. Wait for it. Wait for it.

Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten

virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet

the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise and five

were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and

took no oil with them. But the wise took oil

in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom

was delayed, they slumbered and slept. At midnight the cry

was heard, Behold, the bridegroom is coming. Go out to

meet him. Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.

And the foolish said to the wise, Give us some

of your oil, for our lamps are going out. But

the wise answered, saying, No, lest there should not be

enough for us and for you. but rather go to

those who sell and buy for yourselves. So literally these

five virgins said, no, you can't take my garments. I've

made my garments ready for Christ. You haven't. Yeah, that's

what he's saying. Verse 10. And while they went to buy,

the bridegroom came, and those who were ready with him

to the wedding, and the door was shut. and the

door was shut. This is a series of events. But

he answered and said, Assuredly, I say to you, I

do not know you. Watch therefore, for you neither know

the day nor the hour in which the Son of

Man is coming. So take note. This makes it categorically

clear You're going to be in this protected place, just

like the Old Testament says, just like Isaiah says, get

into your closet for about a little while. How long

is a little while? Three and a half years, 1,260 days.

It's 42 months. So take note, the door was shut.

And while these foolish virgins, these five foolish virgins are

out there, what are we going to do? Guess who

gets kicked out to join them? The tares. The goats.

The tares and the goats booted out, and guess who's

out there waiting for them? The five foolish virgins. This

is what it always says. The wrath of God begins

at the Great Relation. Now, this is categorically the truth.

We know, of course, when the wrath of God is complete.

That picks up in Revelation chapter 15, verse 1. And

Revelation 15:1

I saw another sign in heaven, great marvelous seven angels

having the seven last plagues, for with them the rapture.

of God is complete. So when does Jesus Christ return?

He returns after the seventh bowl judgment. Yes, he does.

That's Armageddon. The return of Jesus Christ is the wrath

of God. Yes, it is. That's what the Bible says.

I mean, we can go over all these other verses

about the wrath of God, but take note. We're going

to prove this. So, Revelation chapter 19, verse 15, this

Revelation 19:15

is the return of Christ. This is where the wrath

of God is finished. He says, Out of his mouth

goes a sharp sword, and with it he will strike

the nations, and he himself will rule them with a

rod of iron. He himself treads the winepress of the fierceness,

of the wrath of God Almighty. So do not be misled.

You are going to be relocated to a secure location,

which God Himself has prepared for you. You can find

this all over the Old Testament. You are being taken

to the pillar of the presence. This is categorically what

the Greek is saying in Revelation chapter 7, verses 9

Revelation 7:9–17

through 17. That's what it categorically states in the Greek. So,

you always hear this about, you know, well, the wrath

of God is not till the end, till the end,

but when does it begin? When does it begin? Both

parables of the wedding feast, both of them, you never

see the return of Christ happen, ever. You never see it, ever.

When he is coming, you are taking it to the

banquet hall. So here, he calls his barn, Remember, he

calls it his barn. The angels will gather you to

his barn. The tares, the goats, the people without wedding garments,

and the foolish virgins, they'll be bound up into 666.

And at the return of Christ, they will be thrown

into fire. So, I do hope you enjoyed. I do

hope you were edified. And if you've been born again,
