  1. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the First Samuel Bible Study.

  2. We are your hosts, Baby Cakes and Matthew. And this

  3. is the culmination of 35 years of marriage, right? And

  4. we have made a startling discovery here at Maranatha Ministries.

  5. We have determined that in order for you to have

  6. been raptured to heaven, Once you are gone, your clothes

  7. must be neatly folded up by the angels. If not,

  8. if your clothes are strewn about, that means something nefarious

  9. has gone on and you have not, in fact, been.

  10. Raptured to hell. What if your clothes are just gone?

  11. Like, everything.

  12. Like, nobody even knows.

  13. This means, obviously, fallen angels took you because they took

  14. your stuff. They're thieves. They took souvenirs. What are you

  15. talking about? I have no idea. Are you recording? We

  16. are recording. Why? We are recording. So once upon a time,

  17. once upon a time, David fled to Nob. Amen?

  18. Yep.

  19. And this created some catastrophic things. catastrophic things happened here.

  20. Yeah, some very encrypted things. For sure.

  21. And we get to meet the one adversary again. One

  22. of the adversaries from several chapters before.

  23. Several chapters from before, yes. To encounter them again.

  24. A lot of encrypted allegories, probably prophecy. A lot of

  25. stuff like, whenever you read something that is like, why

  26. is that even there?

  27. Like, why?

  28. Right.

  29. Wait, wait.

  30. And it's got to have some kind of symbolism.

  31. I put it differently. It has some kind of ramifications.

  32. Yeah, okay.

  33. There's a reason why I use that English term. It

  34. has portents of the future. Ram, to be forced down.

  35. It's a forcible action. It's one directional. To ram... means

  36. a forced one-way direction. So that's why I use ramifications.

  37. That means that this event has effects in the future.

  38. This past event. Absolutely.

  39. Absolutely.

  40. Yeah.

  41. I mean, you know, obviously, David is flipping out. David

  42. is flipping out.

  43. Right now.

  44. So.

  45. We all flip out sometimes. Right? Everybody flips out.

  46. Right.

  47. Yeah.

  48. Well, one thing is for sure. When you met me,

  49. I was a creature. I was one thing. There's no doubt. Now,

  50. I am not him. Now I am a different creature because...

  51. God has modified me. You like to say that one

  52. of my defining characteristics is that if somebody alerts me

  53. of a shortcoming, I will intentionally correct that. For sure.

  54. So this is what God.

  55. That's what sets you apart. That's why, that's why, you know,

  56. I know what I've got.

  57. You know what I've got. Why are you making me

  58. laugh again? This is supposed to be serious. Anyway, but

  59. this is what God is doing to David. He's doing

  60. this to David. Anyway, yeah, this is jam-packed with prophecy

  61. that is to come. Wow. So much to talk about.

  62. All right.

  63. So you want to just start reading or you got

  64. further commentation.

  65. You want to do? No, go ahead.

  66. Okay, go ahead, baby. Read to your heart's content.

  67. Now David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And

  68. Ahimelech was afraid when he met David and said to him,

  69. Why are you alone and no one is with you?

  70. So David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king has

  71. ordered me on some business and said to me, Do

  72. not let anyone know anything about the business on which

  73. I send you or what I have commanded you and

  74. have directed my young men to such and such place. Now, therefore,

  75. what have you on hand? Give me five loaves of

  76. bread in my hand or whatever can be found. Okay,

  77. first of all, he's lying. He's lying.

  78. Okay, wait a minute. Okay, wait a minute. So you're

  79. saying that this is a lie. Do not let anyone

  80. know about the business on which I send you or

  81. what I've commanded you to do. And I have directed

  82. my young men to such and such a place.

  83. This is nothing in the chapter before about that.

  84. Rachel, wait a minute. Let's just calm down for a second.

  85. What pertained to David was this. David said, I have

  86. directed my young men to such and such a place.

  87. That is true.

  88. Right?

  89. There was no yes. You're getting ready to find out. Yes,

  90. his men were laying in the field hiding themselves. Yes,

  91. they were. So what he was speaking about himself was true.

  92. What he was saying out about the king was not true. Right.

  93. So he was not lying about himself.

  94. Right?

  95. Right.

  96. Not unless he was speaking about God the King, and

  97. that he wouldn't be lying. Very good. Only under these

  98. auspices can he not be lying. Very good you saw it.

  99. So going forward, no one understand this, ladies and gentlemen.

  100. You better wake up to what's going on, because your

  101. knee-jerk reaction is to think, well, David's lying about King Saul. No.

  102. David never said Saul's name. He never talked about Saul.

  103. And here's the other thing. There's layers to this.

  104. Yes, there's layers.

  105. Because the young men are actually....

  106. Right.

  107. So you say it. Why are you wanting me to

  108. say it?

  109. Because you know the word. I can't... I get it wrong.

  110. The young children are the Moshein. Yes.

  111. And so... So... The young men is who they're talking about. So... Yeah.

  112. It's... Very incredible what's being said here.

  113. Should I keep reading?

  114. Yes, you should keep reading.

  115. And the priest answered David and said, There is no

  116. common bread on hand, but there is holy bread, if

  117. the young men have at least kept themselves from women.

  118. And again, this is talking about Jesus.

  119. This is certainly talking about....

  120. It is... This is certainly talking about those in Revelation

    Revelation 14:1–5

  121. chapter 14, verses 1 through 5. And the such and

  122. such a place that they've went to, they've been raptured.

  123. And I assure you, their diapers have.

  124. Been neatly folded and left behind.

  125. Okay?

  126. So, yes.

  127. Yes.

  128. This phraseology is coming straight from Revelation chapter 14.

    Revelation 14 chapter mention

  129. Then David answered the priest and said to him, Truly,

  130. women have been kept from us about three days since

  131. I came out. How long was Jesus.

  132. In the grave? Yes, Rachel, he was in the grave

  133. for three days.

  134. And the vessels of the young men are holy, and

  135. the bread, in effect, is in effect common. because Jesus

  136. was a human.

  137. Yes. Keep reading.

  138. And God, in the vessel.

  139. Even though.

  140. Even though it was consecrated in the vessel this day

  141. in the tomb. Yes.

  142. Yes. Okay, so.

  143. So, the priest gave him holy bread, for there was

  144. no bread there but the show bread, which had been

  145. taken from before the Lord in order to put hot

  146. bread in its place on the day when it was

  147. taken away. What's that symbolic of? The hot bread.

  148. Okay. Two years and under. This narrative is strung throughout

  149. that there's a time limit for these children. And this

  150. time limit was established by Herod's soldiers, by the soldiers

  151. sticking their forefingers into the child's mouth. If the child

  152. had its front teeth, the child was permitted to live.

  153. If the child had no front teeth, it was ran through.

  154. So this tells you that this That they are of

  155. a specific age. And we know this translates through to

  156. its end to Matthew chapter 24, verse 15. So let's

    Matthew 24:15

  157. take the time to do this real quick. You're just

  158. going to read one verse. And when you do, people's

  159. eyes will be open. And they will be able to

  160. hear for the first time why this verse is here

  161. and why Jesus Christ said this. But whoa.

  162. To those who are pregnant and to those who are

  163. nursing babies in those days.

  164. You do not nurse after two years because this is

  165. when they have their front teeth and they must be weaned.

  166. This is why the Herod soldiers would stick their finger

  167. in their mouth and move it back and forth to

  168. find out if they had teeth.

  169. But anymore, babies are getting their teeth way earlier than that.

  170. You get the point.

  171. Right?

  172. Right. This is what established the date because You're not

  173. going to say, yes, ma'am, how old is your baby?

  174. If your baby is over two, it'll live. But if

  175. it's under two, it dies. And of course, every mother

  176. is going to say, well, really? Well, he had his

  177. second birthday yesterday. So anyway, this is why this verse

  178. is here. That's why Matthew chapter 24, verse 19. That's

    Matthew 24:19

  179. why it's there. And this idea is coming from, well,

  180. it really stems from what happened that day. God is

  181. remembering it. So it's stained in history. So anyway, go ahead.

  182. Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was

  183. there that day detained before the Lord, and his name

  184. was Doeg. and Edomite, the chief of the herdsmen who

  185. belonged to Saul. Now, wasn't this originally an enemy of Saul?

  186. Let me read that one more time. The chief of

  187. the herdsmen. Okay, just so you know. Remember that Edom

  188. was Jacob's twin brother, right? They were twins. Okay, so

  189. literally the Edomites were just those who had not been chosen.

  190. It's that simple. You need to see that here. And

  191. you need to see that the angels, when Jesus Christ came,

  192. who did they give the news to?

  193. The shepherds.

  194. And this is the chief. He's the chief shepherd. He

  195. is the chief of the herdsmen, right? And he is

  196. an Edomite. So that's very important for you to see. Now,

  197. his role as being an enemy, him being an Edomite,

  198. of course he was an enemy. Because God says this,

  199. Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated. And

  200. everybody needs to realize this. It's the same ethnic group.

  201. They weren't just brothers from the same mother. They were

  202. brothers from the same exact womb. You cannot get any

  203. closer ethnically to anybody but a twin. Okay? So this

  204. is all playing into the greater narrative that this is

  205. why Doag has to be inserted in here when it

  206. comes with at the mention Of salt.

  207. Okay? Salt.

  208. Keep reading? Keep reading.

  209. And David said to Ahimelech, Is there not here on

  210. hand a spear or a sword? For I have brought

  211. neither my sword nor my weapons with me because the

  212. king's business required haste. So the priest said, The sword

  213. of Goliath the Philistine whom you killed in the valley

  214. of Elah, there it is, wrapped in a cloth behind

  215. the ephod. If you will take that, take it. But

  216. there is no other except that one here. And David said,

  217. There is none like it. Give it to me.

  218. So, what's your thoughts on this?

  219. Anytime I see sword, I think of the Bible, the

  220. Word of God.

  221. Yes, you're thinking, yes. And Jesus Christ is the Word

  222. of God, and he was certainly wrapped.

  223. There was none like him.

  224. Right. And certainly he was wrapped in swaddling clothes, and

  225. certainly he was wrapped up in the linen cloth when

  226. he was buried. So this is all prophetically tying those

  227. events together. him saying that he was, you know, this

  228. is him saying, there was no other man like him.

  229. Not at birth, not at death, there was no one

  230. like him. And once again, this sword had destroyed the

  231. work of Satan. Because do not be misled. It plainly

  232. states that that Goliath was a giant. He did not

  233. have natural origins. He had supernatural origins. And this sword

  234. had slain him. You're supposed to see that. So very

  235. prophetic things happening that are strangely have echoes through time. So,

  236. We're going to see this, that you're told this for

  237. a specific reason. At this point, you're wondering yourself, who

  238. gets the glory here? Is it the one who slayed

  239. the giant, or is it the sword who slew the giant?

  240. Because one thing's for sure, David didn't rip off Goliath's head.

  241. It was the sword that decapitated him, right? We're going

  242. to see that here in a minute. God's going to

  243. bring your attention to it.

  244. Okay.

  245. So this is when David really flips out now.

  246. Yes, David realizes, yeah.

  247. Why he does the next thing that he does anyways,

  248. like why would you even do it? Right. Is beyond me.

  249. And then he flips out because he did it.

  250. So, obviously.

  251. the Holy Spirit is leading the way for him to

  252. do something he wouldn't have ordinarily done.

  253. Would he have ordinarily done any of this? That's a

  254. good question.

  255. Correct. Then David arose and fled that day from before

  256. Saul and went to Achish, the king of Gath. And

  257. the servants of Achish said to him, Is this not David?

  258. The king, the king of this land, did they not

  259. sing of him to one another in dances, saying, Saul

  260. has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousand? Now

  261. David took these words to heart and was very much

  262. afraid of Achish, the king of Gath. So he changed

  263. his behavior before him, before them, pretending. pretended madness in

  264. their hands, scratched on the doors of the gate, and

  265. let his saliva fall down on his beard. Then Achish

  266. said to his servants, Look, you see the man is insane.

  267. Why have you brought him to me? Have I need

  268. of madmen that you have brought this fellow to play

  269. the madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into

  270. my house? What's all that about?

  271. Well, let me ask you this. Why did he specifically

  272. go to Gath? Where was Goliath from? He just went

  273. to the very place. Do you understand? On the surface,

  274. this makes absolutely no sense. Why is Goliath in here?

  275. Why is Achish in here? Why is Gath in here?

  276. Why is this about the Philistines?

  277. And why would he do that? He killed Goliath. Why

  278. was he afraid? Right.

  279. One thing's for sure. This would later happen when the

  280. clergy would ask the Christ, you know, you cast out

  281. demons because you have a demon. Right?

  282. I know, but something more specific. I mean, this is

  283. pretty specific. I mean, scratched on the doors of the

  284. gate and let his saliva fall down on his beard.

  285. Like that's pretty specific.

  286. It is pretty, it's reminiscent of a animal, right?

  287. Like.

  288. That's what this word here in Hebrew says, you know,

  289. calls him a madman. It's not really the Hebrew word there.

  290. There is to rave, to rage, right?

  291. What is occurring right now?

  292. That's a good question, isn't it? And David took it

  293. to heart.

  294. And how is this going to play out in prophecy?

  295. Okay, so let's do this. What isn't mentioned here, right?

  296. What isn't mentioned here? What isn't mentioned here?

  297. Is there anything not mentioned here in these 15 verses?

  298. How could you get this much information that just spans

  299. the whole globe in 15 verses?

  300. There's a lot that isn't mentioned. Right? And yet they

  301. say that they make sure these, we know this.

  302. Right.

  303. Now, you talked about Doag earlier. He's not been mentioned yet.

  304. Doag is specifically not mentioned until right here, and then

  305. he's in the next chapter three times.

  306. Oh, I thought he was the guy that didn't like Saul.

  307. I didn't go back and check, so.

  308. So, you've got to admit, this is one of those

  309. things that make you go, hmm. Did this really happen?

  310. I mean, you realize everything that happened here.

  311. It's not just, did this really happen? Like, why was

  312. it even mentioned? Like, it doesn't even go with anything

  313. else that happened. No.

  314. It is a hodgepodge of thoughts.

  315. Like, when you go on to the next chapter, like,

  316. it doesn't go with anything. It doesn't go with the story.

  317. Or does it? Because the next chapter begins with Saul

  318. doing something very bad, and the excuse is what happened

  319. in this chapter.

  320. Right? I suppose. Right? But David isn't really.

  321. Crazy.

  322. He's just pretending to be crazy because he's flipping out.

  323. But his thought process was sound. In order to prevent

  324. my death and not do anything bad to Saul, I

  325. have to go to my enemies.

  326. Right?

  327. And as I've already pointed out, Jesus is incorporated all

  328. over here. And this is what Jesus had to do.

  329. He had to exit Heaven stage left. He had to

  330. come here. He had to become our show bread. Did

  331. he not say this? I am the bread of life.

  332. Did he not say that? When he said it, was

  333. he not really telling his disciples? Hey, man. You know,

  334. first Samuel chapter 21, don't you? That's what's going to happen.

    1 Samuel 21 chapter mention

  335. But they couldn't hear it. But yet, yes, he did

  336. call himself the living bread. And this directly ties into

  337. this bread we're talking about here, of which the priests

  338. were killed. And I can say this. I know what

  339. God has threatened to do to these priests. I don't

  340. think I know. I intimately know. He says himself, that

  341. when he does get up and intervene, he will leave

  342. their bodies strewn out all over the ground. That's what

  343. he says. He's going to butcher them. And he specifically

  344. calls them the bad shepherds. So this isn't the sheep.

  345. It's the shepherds of whom the head of, do not

  346. be misled, who leads the clergy at this time. You

  347. think it's the Pope. You think it's the superintendent of

  348. your denomination, right? It's not. It's Doag. And Doag means churchgoers.

  349. It doesn't mean those of us that's been born again.

  350. When you say Doag, what you mean is you mean Esau.

  351. So they're churchgoers, but they've not been born again.

  352. He's the herdsman of the goats.

  353. He's the chief herdsman. This is what's going on here.

  354. It's the herdsman, specifically the goats, rather than the sheep. Exactly.

  355. And take note.

  356. Take note.

  357. We've already talked about many times how the false prophet

  358. is King Saul.

  359. Right?

  360. So this is literally coming out and encoding it to

  361. you that these modern... Pharisees and Sadducees are going to

  362. be working for that false prophet. You're not going to

  363. know it. It's not going to be out in public.

  364. But this is why the great apostasy takes place.

  365. But if you look, you will see.

  366. It's plainly there. It's plainly there. And you're being told

  367. up front, you better get out.

  368. Okay?

  369. Okay? You better get out. And one thing is for sure. Rachel,

  370. let's talk about Grandma, right? Would Grandma ever believe it

  371. if you came to her and told Grandma that Matthew

  372. and Rachel would skip church for two years? Would she

  373. believe it?

  374. I think she would. I think she would.

  375. Really? Yeah. She only would ever believe that?

  376. She would be concerned. She would believe it, but she

  377. would be concerned. She would be like, what's going on?

  378. Right. She would know in her heart of hearts, Jesus

  379. was not running the church. She'd know that.

  380. Right. Well, she would be, well, she would, she's human,

  381. so she wouldn't know. She wouldn't have known.

  382. Let me rephrase the question to you. What would have

  383. to happen for grandma to not go back to church

  384. for two years? Having seen something very evil happen at church.

  385. That being the case, that's what's being said here and

  386. we're supposed to know it. That's why I've repeatedly pointed

  387. out to you that King Saul is the false prophet.

  388. It's said that many times. Said that many times and

  389. now you know, okay, Read it again. Let's go down

  390. here to verse 7. Now a certain man of the

  391. servants of Saul, not just anybody, was the head of

  392. his herdsmen okay Saul was there that day detained before

  393. the Lord and his name was Doag and Edomite the

  394. chief of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul so this

  395. dude Doag was in the cabinet. There was the general,

  396. there was the secretary, and there was the chief herdsman.

  397. You're supposed to see all that. You're supposed to understand

  398. what's going on. So, I'm going to ask you this question.

  399. Are you sure any of this happened and this just

  400. isn't a poetic way of God to tell you what's

  401. to come? Because that's what he did.

  402. Well, no. God doesn't do that. I'm sure it actually happened. Right.

  403. But he's specifically choosing what events.

  404. We are told. Right. Because that's what he's going to do.

  405. And in the end, we need to understand this, that

  406. we are going to flee Yes, we are. And we're

  407. going to be delivered. Right. And do not be misled.

  408. What is after us is not natural. What's after us

  409. is being supernaturally directed. And the only hope you have

  410. in this time is God's word, which is called what?

  411. The sword of the spirit. That's what God's word is called. So,

  412. you are to wrap it up, right, Rachel? You've talked

  413. about this many times. You've even asked me, Matthew, maybe

  414. we should get Bibles and put them in Ziploc bags

  415. and bury them in very different places so we can

  416. get to them, right? This was your idea, not mine, right?

  417. Yeah. There's plenty. They're given away free sometimes through stores.

  418. People don't want them anymore.

  419. Right. So, I mean.

  420. wouldn't be that hard to just, I mean, we've got

  421. all kinds of Bibles, you know, ones that, you know,

  422. different translations that we've gone through, Bibles from when we

  423. were children, Bibles that are so tattered we dare not,

  424. you know, mess with the pages too much.

  425. We got Grandpa's Bible.

  426. Yeah. We do. So, but, you know, and I've said

  427. this before that when you read Acts when you read

  428. through it the third or fourth time you read through

  429. it you realize that it reads like a map so

  430. if nothing else you had a New Testament if you

  431. didn't have anything else it would be better to have

  432. the complete Bible but if you know Whatever you can get.

  433. If you're going to grab anything, don't grab your cloak. Right. Amen? So.

  434. So anyway, we're getting ready to find out in the

  435. next chapter what the chief herdsman does to the priest.

  436. this is going to happen, thus saith the Lord Jesus Christ. Oh, yes,

  437. they will. Yes, they will. And it's crazy, but people

  438. really don't get that the people that participate in the

  439. Great Apostasy is the ones going to be doing the beheading. Yes,

  440. they are.

  441. Yes, they are. So, any.

  442. Other comments?

  444. Crazy 15 verses. Literally. Yep, they are crazy. Shaga.

  445. Also.

  446. What? Yeah.

  447. I feel like the bread situation is going to happen

  448. again in the.

  449. You must be born again.

  450. In the time when we're fleeing, the 45 days when

  451. we flee, this is going to happen again. We might

  452. just be stopping by to get the Bibles. We know

  453. you got them. You're not using them.

  454. You're not using them.

  455. You got that new translation over there.

  456. Rachel, this has already been prophesied. This is exactly what's

  457. going to happen. I want you to read the verse, okay?

  458. So read the verse.

  459. When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the

  460. altar the souls of those who had been slain for

  461. the word of God and for their testimony which they held.

  462. Okay.

  463. All right.

  464. So that being the case, because that is the case,

  465. you would think that you just prophesied, huh?

  466. No, I didn't prophesy. It's just here.

  467. It's already here.

  468. You just got to read it enough that you can

  469. finally see it.

  470. Right. You have to read it enough. Before you can

  471. finally see it.

  472. Right. Right. You can't just read it one time and say, okay,

  473. I did the read through the Bible in a year plan.

  474. I'm good. There's people who do that every year, right?

  475. Oh, yeah. There are. There are.

  476. They are experts. I still haven't learned. They're experts. What

  477. have you been doing? Right. They're expert churchgoers. I mean,

  478. they got going to church down pat. They really do.

  479. They haven't taken notes.

  480. Yep.

  481. They're taking notes like a pro.

  482. Yep.

  483. Like, I don't even take notes. Like, how are you

  484. not getting this? You're taking notes. But you must be

  485. born again.

  486. You must be born again. You must partake of the

  487. living bread.

  488. You must....

  489. You can only be born again through his blood. I mean,

  490. water baptism, just don't cut it. You have to be

  491. baptized through the Holy Spirit. So, but they have their checklist.

  492. They have this list of seven sacraments that if they

  493. do this checklist, God is forced to let them into

  494. heaven no matter what they've done.

  495. Right. And they have their journaling Bible too. Right.

  496. Right. They have all kinds of.

  497. They've got all these different colors, everything. Yes.

  498. Yep.

  499. It's not a checklist. You have to pick up your

  500. own cross. You have.

  501. You know, it's not enough to say that you'll climb

  502. up a telephone pole for Jesus, because what if God

  503. doesn't want you to do it? Especially if you're the

  504. kind of person that's pretty good at climbing telephone poles.

  505. You know? No. Maybe God just wants you to not

  506. fight with your neighbor. That's too hard. So I'll just

  507. climb up the telephone pole.

  508. Right, in Jesus' name. I'll put on a Jesus shirt

  509. and climb up to the top of the telephone pole.

  510. I wear Jesus shirts. I didn't climb up the telephone pole.

  511. All right, everybody. Anybody got any questions or comments? Going once.

  512. Going twice. Okay, going three times. We will end the

  513. recording right there. There it shall lie. Till next time,

  514. ladies and gentlemen. God bless. Godspeed.
