  1. I've streamed this morning. We're going to be talking about

  2. the white garments, our righteous acts, that's what they are.

  3. And this narrative in the book of Revelation really does

  4. quite easily and quite readily play itself out. That this

  5. is obviously a big part of the great apostasy which

  6. occurs during the birth pangs. That comes straight from Jesus'

  7. mouth in Matthew 24, verse 8. Both the New King

    Matthew 24:8

  8. James Version and the King James Version are both mistranslated.

  9. That is the Greek word odin in verse 8. It's

  10. not beginning of sorrows. It's beginning of birth pangs. That

  11. Greek word odin means contraction. So it's pretty important that

  12. we realize this narrative and it literally plays itself out.

  13. And it does so in a quite marvelous way. So

  14. the first time this is mentioned is in Revelation 3,

    Revelation 3:4

  15. verses 4 and 5. Now remember, those of us that's

  16. been born again, you already know that the seven churches

  17. are not dispensationalized church ages. This list off, clericus. This

  18. is common knowledge. All academics know this. There are seven

  19. branches to Christianity. I've did many videos on it. I

  20. have a playlist on it. This is what it's talking about.

  21. These are not church ages. They are the seven different

  22. types of actual churches that exist. So remember that the

  23. seven churches, they weren't in Asia Minor. They were in

  24. seven different locations in the same area. So these are

  25. the seven different types of churches, regardless of your country. Yes,

  26. at the time, these were in Asia Minor. We have

  27. those same churches here in America. We have these same

  28. churches in Canada. We have these same churches in Australia.

  29. We have these same churches in Great Britain. We have

  30. these same churches. They still exist in New Zealand. This

  31. is true. So, with that in mind, here in Revelation

    Revelation 3:4

  32. chapter 3, verses 4 and 5, he's singling out the

  33. members of a particular church. So, you can literally say

  34. that he is speaking to one of the real denominations.

  35. It's one of the real denominations. So, Revelation chapter 3,

    Revelation 3:4

  36. verses 4 and 5. You have a few names, even

  37. in Sardis, who have not defiled their garments. And they

  38. shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

  39. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments. And

  40. I will not blot out his name from the book

  41. of life, but I will confess his name before my

  42. Father and before His angels. So take note. Here we

  43. have the churchgoers who have not been born again, that

  44. are practicing iniquity. They claim Christ, and as I've shared

  45. in other videos, these people who sin willfully in Jesus'

  46. name trample the Son of God and offend the spirit

  47. of grace. So, because they claim Jesus Christ, they put

  48. their garments on in a water baptism. But because they

  49. continue to willfully sin, this is what happens to them.

  50. They defile their garments. They defile their garments. So, Hebrews

    Hebrews 10 chapter mention

  51. chapter 10. We're going to go over here again. We're

  52. going to read this again. Hebrews chapter 10, verses 26

    Hebrews 10:26–29

  53. through 29. Okay? This is what he's talking about. This

  54. is why he's saying that there are people who claim

  55. my name in this church. But once they got water baptized,

  56. they continue sinning willfully. So they never got The final step.

  57. They never got born again, baptized in the Holy Spirit.

  58. Let's categorically sort this out. Hebrews chapter 10, 26 through 29.

    Hebrews 10 chapter mention

  59. For if we willfully sin after we have received the

  60. knowledge of truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sin.

  61. but a certain fearful expectation of judgment and fiery indignation,

  62. which will devour the adversaries. Anyone who's rejected Moses' law

  63. dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

  64. How much worse punishment do you suppose will be thought

  65. worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted

  66. the blood of a covenant by which he was sanctified,

  67. a common thing, and insulted the spirit of grace. So

  68. because they have insulted the spirit of grace, they were

  69. never born again. This is what he's talking about. So

  70. this is how this verse plays out. Let's read it again.

  71. This is talking about all the congregants at a church.

  72. They've all been water baptized. There's some of them that

  73. kept their garments pure, and they were baptized in the

  74. Holy Spirit. The other ones did not. Listen, you have

  75. many names, even in Sardis, who have not defiled their garments.

  76. And they shall walk with me in white, for they

  77. are worthy. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments.

  78. And I will not blot his name from the book

  79. of life, but I will confess his name before my

  80. father and before his angels. So once you linger too

  81. long in your sins and do not, do not correct

  82. your actions, you don't do what the word says, this

  83. is what happens. There comes a point when you've gone

  84. on too long, the spirit of grace waits and waits

  85. and waits for you to clean your act up and

  86. you don't. I mean, how many millions of heroin addict

  87. prostitutes have cleaned their act up? You get my point.

  88. We have many, many, many, we have clouds of witnesses

  89. that this is the case. If you insist on soiling

  90. your own garments, there comes a threshold in which you

  91. insult the spirit of grace. And there's no such thing

  92. as penal substitution. There's no such thing as eternal security.

  93. Jesus Christ just said he'll blot your name out of

  94. his book. So, Dropping down in verse 18, he gives

  95. further discourse about these white garments. I counsel you to

  96. buy from me gold refined in fire that you may

  97. be rich, and white garments that you may be clothed,

  98. that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed.

  99. And anoint your eyes with eye salve that you may see.

  100. Here we go again. Here we go again. You must

  101. stop practicing iniquity. If you stop practicing iniquity, he will

  102. give you the gold refined by fire. That's a clean conscience. Yes,

  103. He will give you a clean conscience. And from that

  104. point forward, your conscience will motivate you to do righteous acts. Now,

  105. we get to Revelation chapter 6, the fifth seal event,

    Revelation 6 chapter mention

  106. verses 9 through 11. Please take note. Revelation chapter 17.

    Revelation 17 chapter mention

  107. plainly states it plainly states that she who has become

  108. drunk on the blood of the saints and the martyrs

  109. of Jesus is the apostatized church. It's church goers who

  110. thought their water baptism would get their name in the

  111. book of life. They continued sinning and insulted the spirit

  112. of grace. Instead of being baptized by the spirit of grace. So,

  113. take note. That's what this is talking about. When he

  114. opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altars those

  115. who had been slain for the word of God and

  116. for the testimony which they held. And they cried out

  117. with a loud voice saying, How long, O Lord, holy

  118. and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on

  119. those who dwell on the earth? That a white robe

  120. was given to each of them, and it was said

  121. to them that they should rest a little while longer

  122. until both the number of their fellow servants and their

  123. brethren who would be killed as they were was completed. Yes.

  124. Maranatha Ministries has ceased from proclaiming To these unbaptized in

  125. the spirit church goers. A call to repentance. Those days

  126. are over. The apostasy is upon us. It just lingers.

  127. In the fog. Right ahead. We're right on top of it.

  128. So I have switched over. My message. Via the spirit

  129. of grace. To warn those who have been. Reborn. That.

  130. You're in great danger if you stay in these church buildings.

  131. Moving on here, Revelation chapter 7, verses 9 through 17.

    Revelation 7:9–17

  132. Make no mistakes about it. I just gave a trudge

  133. report on this, the great multitude. I suggest you check

  134. that out. I'm not going to take the time to

  135. cover that here. We're going to go right to Revelation

    Revelation 19:7

  136. chapter 19 verses 7 and 8. This is the cherry

  137. on top. This is the period at the end of

  138. this sentence. Let us be glad and rejoice and give

  139. Him glory. For the marriage of the Lamb has come

  140. and His wife has made herself. Herself. And to her

  141. it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean

  142. and bright. For the fine linen is the righteous acts

  143. of the saints. You cannot, after a water baptism, continue

  144. to practice iniquity after a certain duration of time. You

  145. will insult the spirit of grace. Who is waiting patiently.

  146. To baptize you. So these are. I know. These are very.

  147. Terrible things to have to digest. I'm well aware of that.

  148. But we need to. Well. Let's go to Revelation chapter

    Revelation 17 chapter mention

  149. 17 again and just reiterate this. And you have to

  150. realize this is true. I know you want it to

  151. be someone else, but I'm going to give further elaboration here.

  152. Let me just go ahead and read these first six

  153. verses of Revelation chapter 17 because you need to know

    Revelation 17 chapter mention

  154. what's going on here, okay? Then one of the seven

  155. angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me,

  156. saying to me, Come, I will show you the judgment

  157. of the great harlot who sits on many waters, with

  158. whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and

  159. the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the

  160. wine of her fornication. There are only ten kings over

  161. this planet. I know that great deceptions has come upon

  162. the children of God. Everybody wants you to think there's

  163. 13 of them and they're called the Illuminati. These 10

  164. kings are plainly repeated to be 10 in number in

  165. the Bible. Repeatedly. Repeatedly God says they're 10. We, ladies

  166. and gentlemen, the Americanized church is most certainly a great

  167. harlot for this very reason. Take note. The American church,

  168. all seven different denominations of them, whether it be the

  169. denomination of Sardis or the other six, we have a

  170. 501c3 tax exempt status from our king. Let that sink in.

  171. That is what this is talking about. The great harlot

  172. does not receive her instruction from the Lord her God.

  173. The great harlot receives her instruction from these ten kings.

  174. That's a hard pill to swallow it. Verse 3. So

  175. he carried me way in the spirit into the wilderness.

  176. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast

  177. who was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads

  178. and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet.

  179. and adored with gold and precious stones and pearls, having

  180. in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and

  181. the filthiness of her fornications. Now take note. This is

  182. not what Jesus Christ was talking about in Revelation chapter 3,

    Revelation 3:18

  183. verse 18. No, no, no. God is not talking about

  184. monetary means. No. No, that's not what He's talking about.

  185. I'll read it for you again. White garments are the

  186. righteous acts of the saints. Those righteous acts can be

  187. adhered to via the Holy Spirit. You must be born again.

  188. You cannot continue to sin willfully and after a period

  189. of time insult the spirit of grace. He will never

  190. baptize you once that happens. Write this down. Revelation chapter

    Revelation 3:18

  191. 3 verse 18. I counsel you to buy from me

  192. gold refined in the fire of the Holy Spirit. Praise God.

  193. I'm sorry I interrupted God's word. I counsel you to

  194. buy from me gold refined in the fire that you

  195. may be rich and white garments that you may be

  196. clothed that the shame of your nakedness may not be

  197. revealed and anoint your eyes with salve that you may see.

  198. This is exactly the opposite of what this great harlot

  199. has done. She is clothed and she has all her

  200. gold and precious stones and pearls And this golden cup,

  201. she received all those things from the ten kings of

  202. her government. Don't you wish the separation of church and

  203. state was real? It is grossly apparent that the Western

  204. church is nothing more than a political tool. Take note.

  205. It is common knowledge that the liberals, the Democrats are

  206. ran by the liberal so-called church, and the Republicans are

  207. ran by the so-called conservative church. There's only one church,

  208. and it's the church of Jesus Christ. And she does

  209. not play the harlot with the government and the wealth

  210. that the government can provide. I'll prove this to you.

  211. Jesus Christ said, give me a denarius tell me whose

  212. likeness is on it and whose inscription these first four

  213. verses We're the exact opposite of Revelation chapter 3 verse 18.

    Revelation 3:18

  214. Those of us that's been baptized in the Spirit, we

  215. naturally know these things. We naturally know them. You don't

  216. have to make us memorize these verses or create an

  217. entire curriculum around this idea. We who have been baptized

  218. in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit moves us and we're

  219. made aware of these things. But let us continue with

  220. these final two verses. The great apostasy. It's right ahead.

  221. It's right ahead. Verse 5, Revelation chapter 17. And on

    Revelation 17 chapter mention

  222. her forehead a name was written, Mystery, Babylon the Great,

  223. the mother of harlots and of the abominations of the earth.

  224. I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the

  225. saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.

  226. When I saw her, I marveled with great amazement. How

  227. many harlots are there? I already told you. There's seven.

  228. I've already told you. There's seven harlots. This is the

  229. representation that during the great apostasy. You better hearken to

  230. my voice. This is what constitutes the great apostasy. Because

  231. all seven branches of Christianity. Behind the scenes. Begin to

  232. take the same orders. From the same entity. Now look.

  233. Let's go back to Revelation chapter 2 and figure out

    Revelation 2 chapter mention

  234. what are the seven different denominations of churches today. Because

  235. it's not Baptist. No, it's not. It's not Wesleyan. It's

  236. not Methodist. It's not Orthodox. It's not Catholic. It's not Presbyterian. No, no, no, no, no.

  237. God's Word comes right out and informs you without coming

  238. out and telling you. let me say that again God's

  239. word comes out and informs you without coming out telling

  240. you the seven different denominations of churches that have existed

  241. since the Lord Jesus Christ is this these seven different

  242. churches they exist on all the continents. All seven of them.

  243. The first church is the loveless church. Number two is

  244. the persecuted church. Number three is the compromising church. Number

  245. four is the corrupt church. Number five is the dead church.

  246. Number six is the faithful church. And number seven is

  247. the lukewarm church. Those are the seven different mountains. They're

  248. the seven different hills. They're the seven different women. Why

  249. is the Spirit leading me to do that? I was

  250. not intending to do that. This will give me a

  251. minute This will take me a minute, so... Man, this

  252. is making me sick in my stomach. I wasn't planning

  253. on doing that. I don't need to know that. The

  254. spirit must move. Okay. Everybody needs to understand that there

  255. is a rebellion coming in the wilderness. And I don't

  256. know why... Look, that's not up to me. I don't

  257. run Maranatha Ministries. The Holy Spirit does. You need to

  258. understand that the problem with the woman is only one

  259. once we get to the wilderness. It's envy. Now this

  260. is clearly, God uses plain English when you look at

  261. Korah's rebellion. Because Korah's rebellion is what is mentioned in

  262. In Revelation chapter 12 that occurs in the wilderness. Remember,

    Revelation 12 chapter mention

  263. what caused it? Envy. The only thing that caused it

  264. was envy. It was envy. Korah was envious of Moses.

  265. This is the last and final test is envy. When

  266. we get to the wilderness, you cannot try to establish

  267. a pecking order. And yet that's exactly what's going to happen.

  268. So you need to understand that this word for envy,

  269. this is why it is embedded in Psalm 68, verse 16.

    Psalms 68:16

  270. I'm not going to give discourse on this chapter. Those

  271. of you that have participated in water baptism only, It

  272. will just confuse you. You won't understand what's going on.

  273. But those of you who have been reborn, no one

  274. understand this. That's talking about us in the wilderness. I'll

  275. read it. Psalm chapter 68, verse 16. Why do you

    Psalms 68:16

  276. fume with envy, you mountains of many peaks? How many

  277. peaks are there? Seven. I just gave you the list

  278. of the seven different types of churches. I just did.

  279. I just did. There's seven of those peaks. Look, I'm

  280. sorry I interrupted it. I'll start it again. Why do

  281. you fume with envy, you mountains of many peaks? This

  282. is the mountain which God desires to dwell in. Yes,

  283. the Lord will dwell in it forever. At the return

  284. of the Lord Jesus Christ, that's when the resurrection happens.

  285. You need to understand, this is what happens at the

  286. consummation of the marriage. What I'm telling you is the unadulterated,

  287. beyond contestation, truth. These things are true. I don't care

  288. what the dispensationalists and what the preterists say. What I've

  289. revealed to you today is the gospel truth. Now, Those

  290. of you who have been reborn. I have not given

  291. a lengthy discourse to Maranatha Ministries about Psalm 68. Boy.

  292. We really are close, aren't we? Jesus Christ was either

  293. crucified in 30 A.D. or 33 A.D. And He said

  294. in Hosea chapter 6 verse 2 that after 2,000 years

    Hosea 6:2

  295. He would stand us up and fulfill. Revelation chapter 7

    Revelation 7:9–17

  296. verses 9 through 17. No one understand this in your heart.

  297. The great multitude are those that have been relocated. They're us.

  298. And when we get there, the only thing that is

  299. an endangerment to us, dwells within us. We have the

  300. choice to become envious. Just like Leah become envious of Rachel,

  301. Rachel became envious of Leah. Yada, yada, yada, yada, yada, yada.

  302. Those of you who've been reborn, I will give a discourse.

  303. It'll probably take a series to do so. On Psalm 68.

  304. But these things are not for church goers. They're not

  305. for those. That's going to murder us. So. Why did

  306. the Holy Spirit want me to do that? Anyway. I

  307. can't concentrate on that. I just have to have. Hope.

  308. That the Holy Spirit will lead me. To keep my garments. Clean. Because, boy,

  309. those who practice iniquity inside the flesh. church, they will

  310. do everything they can to tempt me to sin. Anyway,

  311. say a prayer for Maranatha Ministries. Those of you that

  312. have been reborn, please like and share the video. Please

  313. subscribe to the channel. And if you've got Any encouraging

  314. words or prayers, please put them in the comments. Until

  315. next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless. Godspeed.
