Covenant Renewal and Heavenly Places

Transcript
-
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the fellowship. I have
-
no idea what we're going to do tonight, and I
-
really don't care. I can talk about anything pertaining to
-
the Word. I'm not doing too well. I didn't have
-
very much luck sleeping last night. All kinds of things
-
going on with all pillars of my life, which is home,
-
work in the ministry, got Got crazy things going on.
-
Just got informed a little while ago that continued attacks
-
against the ministry are coming in. I wish I didn't
-
know that. I was trying to ignore it. I don't
-
give honor where honor is not due. So it was
-
just quite simply no reason to do that. It makes
-
me double down my efforts because I know that my
-
enemy realizes that that I don't miss. I literally don't miss.
-
So the only thing that my enemy can do to
-
stop the gospel from being delivered is to quite simply
-
stop me from delivering it. That's the only thing he
-
can do. So with that in mind, it gives me
-
renewed vigor. Me and Brian just got off doing a
-
YouTube live stream and very, very encouraging. And it was
-
a blessing in the midst of all this attack. Randomly,
-
after I don't know how many videos we've done, YouTube
-
decided to let us live stream to my channel. I mean, so,
-
you know, that's good news. I was able to baptize
-
my youngest daughter, Mariah, this past week. So very good
-
encouraging things happening on the battlefront because it's really what
-
we're in. We're in the battleground. So all those are
-
good things, and I'm ready and willing to talk about
-
anything that we could talk about. And as a matter
-
of fact, I just got a message from Ben Lawrence,
-
member of the ministry, reminding me that we had did
-
a program all the way back in 2012 that Brian
-
and I had just done today. I guess all three
-
of us had done a broadcast way back in 2012
-
about Mystery Babylon and New York. So, you know, that
-
was probably the first of many because Brian and I
-
have talked about that for years. Through the years, we've
-
randomly did programs on that. So I don't know how
-
many I've actually done on that. But there's 99 points
-
in the Bible you can prove beyond any reasonable doubt
-
that America is Mystery Babylon. So anyway, in that, we
-
had some comments. Before I open the floor, I want
-
to say this, that Tammy, in the Ecclesia chat, she
-
just blew my mind because she was like, you know
-
where the seat of copper is in the United States?
-
It's in the Four Corners area, and that's in conjunction
-
with the program that we did with Tammy. So it
-
completely took me aback, and I said, well, you know,
-
I knew these things about the Statue of Liberty since
-
I was 15, 16. So I don't know. It's just
-
the spirit moves. I don't have an itinerary. Okay. And
-
Brian and I were just saying this behind the scenes
-
after we did this, this latest YouTube stream that we
-
don't have show, show notes. We don't, we don't have
-
an itinerary. We don't have curriculum. We have always just
-
got on there and the spirit moved. And Brian was
-
poking fun at me. He goes, yeah, we need to,
-
shut up and start recording because many times before we
-
went on air, Brian and I went into these great
-
discussions and hadn't hit record yet. And those very, very
-
prophetic things never made it on air. So, I mean, that's,
-
that's happened to me and Brian multiple, multiple times. So
-
you live and you learn. So anyway, let me open
-
the floor. Is there anything anybody wants to talk about today? Anything.
-
It can be personal. It can be, you know, family, economics, anything.
-
I am more than willing to talk about anything. So,
-
don't be shy. Going once. Come on now, you better
-
jump on here. Going twice. Nobody's got an itchy finger.
-
Trigger finger, huh?
-
Okay. All right.
-
Well, third time's a charm. So what are we going
-
to talk about tonight? What are we going to talk
-
about tonight? You know, we could talk about the three revenants, right?
-
I did a couple of broadcasts here lately on YouTube
-
and had some response to them. People were shocked. Because
-
they didn't know that the Bible made sense. Because... Ladies
-
and gentlemen, I'm not trying to disparage you in any way.
-
But you have been taught to read the Bible like
-
it's a novel. You have not been taught to read
-
it like it's the newspaper. Like it's the dictionary. Like
-
it's the encyclopedia. You don't read it that way. You've
-
been taught to read it like something else. Like these
-
are just stories. They're just Bible stories. And they may
-
or may not be accurately true. Well, there is a
-
rhyme and a reason to everything God does. There really is.
-
And there is a difference. between the three different bodies
-
of Christ. So there are three different revenants. The term
-
revenant comes from French. They use it for a cadaver
-
that has come back to life, to re-life. They've been reanimated.
-
They call them revenants. That's where this term comes from.
-
There are three different types of Christians. Christians, no matter
-
where they are, in time or location, are immortal. They're immortal.
-
They can't die. We do not enter Hades. We don't
-
go to Hades. We go to paradise. Paradise is in
-
the third heaven. Now that's another thing that really confuses people.
-
People try. They try and try and try to incorporate
-
into their theology that there's seven heavens. No, there's not.
-
That's a theological myth. Seven heavens is a tradition of man.
-
That's a theological myth. The word and the word alone,
-
it needs no commentary. It tells you there's three different heavens.
-
It tells you that. The entire book of Hebrews is
-
really a blueprint on the simple fact that heaven has
-
a third heaven. That's the outer court. It plainly states that.
-
It plainly states there's a second heaven which is the
-
inner court. It plainly states that. It states categorically there
-
is a first heaven and there resides the throne of God.
-
There's a holy of holies in heaven. It plainly states
-
that the angels that surround that inner sanctuary, that's the cherubim.
-
It really does say that. So, in that, people are
-
so They're so disconnected. They're so disillusioned from their own reality.
-
I mean, think what the traditions of men have done.
-
They've come up with this theological myth of purgatory. Purgatory. Look,
-
it's a complete myth. Jesus Christ led the captives free.
-
What does that mean? Through the New Testament, It's not
-
a narrative, it's data. The New Testament data tells us
-
that those who kept the covenant.
-
Haiti, especially Haiti, held against bosom, sitting above the flames.
-
It states in the Greek there was a guff between
-
Lazarus and a rich young ruler actually in Greek that's
-
landowner it says there was a guff between them as
-
if Abraham's bosom was suspended above the flames of Hades
-
at any rate now you can prove existentially The word
-
declares that now when you die, you go to paradise,
-
which is in the third heaven. So he led the
-
captives out of Hades and into the third heaven. He
-
led them back to paradise. This is why the Greek
-
word epi-arano is used in the New Testament. We don't die.
-
We have everlasting life. Our part in creation is in
-
the heavenlies with Jesus Christ. This is firmly established outside
-
the traditions of men, outside the contradictions of their cunningly
-
devised fables. There's no such thing.
-
As purgatory, and no man can pray you out of
-
Hades into heaven.
-
That's a theological myth. It's a theological myth. So as
-
you can see, I can just randomly allow the spirit
-
to move and cover any gambit of topic pertaining to
-
the word. Is this natural? No, it's not. Because I've
-
been born again. Because I've been born again, the Holy
-
Spirit has baptized me and this is how the covenant
-
is renewed. That's how. I've probably confused you again, haven't I?
-
You need to reference Deuteronomy chapter 30 Verses 15 through 20.
-
You can only renew that covenant in the blood of Christ.
-
It's in the blood that the life is. So, your
-
water baptism into the church, that constitutes taking the bread
-
in communion. That doesn't cut it. The life is in
-
the blood. That's why Jesus Christ said, this is my
-
blood of the new covenant. You must take the next
-
step and go from the water baptism to the baptism
-
of the Holy Spirit because it's in his blood wherein
-
is life. That's how you renew the covenant. This is
-
plainly talked about in Hebrews chapter 10, verses 26 through 29.
-
if you reject that, instead of the Holy Spirit baptizing you, instead,
-
you inadvertently insult the Spirit of Grace. These are true.
-
Everything I just said to you is true. So, That
-
being the case... Maybe I should ask this... One more time...
-
Is there anything anybody wants to talk about? Maybe I
-
should go back to... Epi Arano... So that you understand... That...
-
If you've been water baptized... Your future lies in Hades.
-
Lies in Hades. You must be born again. Apiorano in
-
Greek means heavenly places. Okay? That's what it means. It
-
means heavenly places. Most of you are probably kind of
-
frustrated right now. You're thinking to yourself, well, I don't
-
know how to get to that Greek word. I don't
-
understand where it comes from. I don't understand anything about it.
-
I have nothing to do with it. Well, I'm telling
-
you that you can understand the Greek if you just
-
have access to the Strong's Concordance. I'll read you the
-
verses where it's found.
-
Okay?
-
And it starts out right where it should. It lets
-
you know that your lot can be with God the Father.
-
Matthew 18, 35. So my heavenly Father also will do
-
to you if each of you from his heart does
-
not forgive his brother his trespasses. This represents someone who's
-
partaken in water baptism. They have not been born again.
-
They continue to practice the iniquity of unforgiveness. John 3,
-
verse 12 says, If I have told you earthly things
-
and you do not believe, how will you believe if
-
I tell you of heavenly things? 1 Corinthians 15, verse 40.
-
This is how we will receive the same body as
-
those who are asleep in Jesus. This is how it's done.
-
1 Corinthians 15, 40. There are also celestial bodies and
-
terrestrial bodies, but the glory of the celestial is one
-
and the glory of the terrestrial is another. Skip down
-
to verse 48. As was Adam of dust, so also
-
those are made of dust. And as is the heavenly man,
-
so also are those who are heavenly. The very next verse.
-
And as we have borne the image of man of dust,
-
we shall also bear the image of the heavenly man.
-
This will happen once you are born again. Now the
-
real famous ones. This Greek word is basically what the
-
book of Ephesians is built around. Ephesians chapter 1, verse 3.
-
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
-
who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the
-
heavenly places in Christ. Skipping down to verse 20. Which
-
he worked in Christ when he raised him from the
-
dead and seated him at his right hand in the
-
heavenly places. The next chapter, verse 6. and raised us
-
up together and made us sit together in the heavenly
-
places in Christ Jesus. Those who've been baptized in the
-
Holy Spirit, when they enter into their rest, they do
-
not enter into Hades. They enter into paradise, which is
-
in the third heaven. Yes, they do. If you don't
-
know this, you need to be edified. You're not currently edified.
-
The next chapter in verse 10. So Ephesians chapter 3,
-
verse 10. To the intent that now the manifold wisdom
-
of God might be made known by the church. Okay,
-
you need to figure out what's being said here. Those
-
that have went on and entered the rest, they're in
-
the third heaven. And from the third heaven, what are
-
they going to do with these princes that are in
-
the third heaven? Let's read and find out. To the
-
intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be
-
made known by the church to the principalities and powers
-
in the heavenly places. No, no, no. This isn't talking
-
about the angels here on earth. No, the Greek is
-
very exacting. If you believe something else, you actually believe
-
in a cunningly devised fable. We're going to prove this again.
-
Ephesians chapter 6, verse 12. For we did not wrestle
-
against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against
-
the rulers of darkness of this age, against spiritual forces
-
of wickedness in the heavenly places. So we could literally
-
go on and on and on and on and on
-
and on and on. But I'm going to cut it
-
short and I'm going to leave it off at our
-
current condition. Remember, Jesus Christ has not been coronated yet. Okay?
-
So he's acting as our high priest. He's already multiple
-
times said this. Jesus Christ is sitting beside the Father
-
in heaven acting as our high priest. Hebrews chapter 3,
-
verse 1. Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the holy calling,
-
consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Jesus Christ.
-
Right now, he's not your king. He's your high priest.
-
When he's coronated king, by God, you'll know it. No light,
-
no dispensationalist, or no preterist, We'll be able to tell
-
you otherwise, because guess what? You're going to see him coming.
-
Thus saith the Word, praise God. Praise God, the Word
-
tells us that. They can't lie to us and tell
-
us otherwise. We will know when he's been crowned, because
-
he will stampede from heaven's capital to earth's capital. That's
-
what he's going to do. And as a matter of fact,
-
he says when it happens, it's just like seeing lightning
-
flash in the skies. That lightning goes from east to west.
-
Because there's two dimensions. These two dimensions are called as
-
witnesses against those who have entered into water baptism. Wait
-
for it. I've already told you. Deuteronomy chapter 30, verses
-
15 through 20. It's there encoded into the Hebrew because
-
God took the vows out of Hebrew. Prophetically, everything that
-
just come out of our mouth is right there if
-
you can see it. But you have to look at
-
it to see it. And this is why they will
-
take one Hebrew word and they'll give it four or
-
five different strong definitions.
-
It's incredible.
-
It's super It's paranormal. Anything pertaining to the word is paranormal. So,
-
let me throw that out there again. Is there anything
-
anybody wants to talk about? Because I've just been rambling
-
on until this point. This is rambling. This is me rambling.
-
Hey, what do you think about what's going on over
-
in the Middle.
-
East right now?
-
Our buildup of troops in Iran is building up their
-
troops at the border, and our embassies are all on alert,
-
high alert, and everything going on over there right now.
-
It's the anniversary of the Om Kippur War tomorrow. Maybe
-
they're going to start something again.
-
Well, wouldn't that be apropos? This would create massive psychological
-
support for the Israelis. It would be to the maximum
-
benefit of the Israelis if the Iranians were to attack
-
on Yom Kippur. Right? This would be a rallying cry
-
for the Christian Zionists. They would be able to rally
-
behind Judas Iscariot. This is why I switched over my
-
reference to them. They are Judaists. They are followers of Judas. Judas.
-
You all thought I was just calling them Judaists because
-
it wouldn't trigger the algorithms. I don't think like you do.
-
It was time. If Jesus Christ was crucified in 30 AD,
-
this is the birth pangs and it was time for
-
me to reveal to you what they are. You got
-
one of two choices. When it comes. To the seed
-
of Abraham. You've got one of two. Dead bang choices.
-
You can either follow. Jesus. Who is the Christ. Or
-
his crucifixion. Who is Judas Iscariot. Hey. Who was, who
-
proved to be, who did they choose over Jesus Christ?
-
They chose, and you know who they chose? Because they
-
paid him. They paid their Messiah 30 pieces of silver
-
so they could crucify God's Messiah. These are, look, This
-
is redundantly true for the last 2,000 years of history.
-
You could ask any Christian on any planet over the
-
past 2,000 years before the 1800s, and guess what they'd say?
-
They would categorically give you the answer that I just
-
gave you. So, the American water-baptized Christians that follow Judas Iscariot,
-
that have murdered all the, that have literally pounded Gaza
-
to dust, they have changed the name to confuse.
-
You.
-
They're called Christian Zionists. So, that's what I have to
-
say to that, Tammy. I don't know about the build-ups.
-
I haven't been reading about it. I've been very busy.
-
I didn't know that the Iranians were amassing troops on...
-
What border are they amassing troops on? Can you tell
-
me that?
-
I am not exactly sure of the place, but they
-
think that we're.
-
Going to launch a ground invasion... So wherever that would
-
be from, that's where they're.
-
Putting their people at.
-
I didn't know this, but that's for certain. Psychologically, the
-
Israelis would want to be attacked on Yom Kippur. That's
-
when they would want to be attacked. Anything anybody else
-
wants to talk about?
-
No.
-
One thing is for certain, there's been major ministries coming
-
out saying that, you know, Daniel chapter 11 verse 2
-
has already been fulfilled. We are waiting for the fourth king.
-
And literally, you know, I said on a YouTube live
-
stream that there were actually three intermittent ones that was
-
the third one, but anyway.
-
Literally, it may be.
-
Possible that we are waiting for this fourth king to
-
stand up. You can make a list of them. Since
-
October the 7th, 2023, the first one was taken out.
-
The second one was taken out. Then there were a
-
panel of three that were Running things until this third
-
one could be promoted. I don't even know if I've
-
even seen the third one or not. But Daniel prophesied
-
that the fourth one, you're going to know where you're
-
at definitely. prophecy if we get a fourth one that
-
stands up and he's extremely wealthy. So this is what
-
Tammy is talking about. Is it time? Praise God, may
-
it be time. I'm the only one you're going to
-
hear say that. Now, most of you have probably heard
-
me say this at this time, thousands of times since
-
you've heard my public ministry, I've redundantly said this both
-
privately and publicly. The only reason why we haven't got
-
this show on the road is because God didn't give
-
me the start gun. Because the first thing it landed
-
in my hands, I'd have pulled the trigger. So, But
-
I did a YouTube live stream on this that we're
-
right there. We're just waiting for the fourth one to
-
rise up. I mean, I can go there and read
-
it to you real quick. Let me jump over there. So,
-
the narrative begins like this. Starting in verse 2. And
-
now I will tell you the truth, behold. Three more
-
kings will rise in Persia, and the fourth shall be
-
far richer than them all. By his strength, through his riches,
-
he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.
-
I've already told you the West is Greece. The West
-
has been Hellenized both through our education system and our
-
voting system. We are Hellenized. We are. We are the Hellenist. So,
-
when you know this, you just go and get a
-
list of leaders of Iran since the conflict. Doing a
-
search here. Readily comes up because I don't have these
-
things saved. Why would I? Okay. So like I said, yep,
-
there's been three. You can find this quickly, quickly. It
-
comes right up in a Google search. We're on the
-
third one right now. Now, before the third one, There
-
is an interim leadership of council members, which there was
-
three of those council members, but we're on the three
-
right now. You can literally look this up on a
-
Google search right now. I'm not lying to you. Now,
-
that's the problem with this third joker. I don't even
-
think we've seen him. I think he's just underground. He's just.
-
Well, I mean, of course, he's a coward because he knows...
-
If they get his location, they'll just kill him. So
-
I'm not even sure what his name is. Let me
-
open that back up. Let me open that back up.
-
Let's see. Okay. So who is the current one?
-
Hmm.
-
Sorry, ladies and gentlemen. You know, you've got to love
-
these live broadcasts.
-
Okay.
-
So the current one is Motaba Khamenei. And he come in,
-
he started March the 8th. And the previous to him
-
was Ali Khamenei. And the one before him, number one,
-
number one was Ruala. meaning so this literally is the
-
fourth one in the islamic republic of iran which started
-
in 1979 i'm not lying to you we're on the
-
third one right now now this most recent one um
-
I don't remember any news being released of him or
-
anything at all. I mean, I basically think he's been
-
in hiding, but let me do an exact search on
-
him in the news. Let's go news, past week.
-
Okay. Okay.
-
Um, rival factions in Iran defy, uh, Motaba Khomeini's call
-
for unity. Um, Iran's hidden leader, see here, see, he's
-
even called a hidden leader. This is from the Financial Times. Uh,
-
Iran's hidden leader stirs unease at home. Um, Here we
-
go another one. This is Iran International. Iran State Media
-
publishes old Mutawba Khomeini photos amid continued absence. So nobody
-
even knows where this guy is. So yeah, just read. Yeah,
-
this is a joke. He's a joke. I guess nobody knows.
-
He's an absentee leader. So anyway. I don't care what
-
CNN says. I'm going to tell you what's to come.
-
Okay?
-
Hearken to the Word. And the Word is life. This
-
is true. And God even comes out. Now remember, the
-
Bible is in spot. The Holy Spirit wrote this. This
-
is God speaking. Daniel chapter 11, verse 2. And now
-
I will tell you the truth. Behold, three more kings
-
will arise in Persia, and the fourth shall be far
-
richer than them all. By his strength, through his riches,
-
he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.
-
This is what triggers the rise of the one. It's
-
this forced one that triggers it. So he uses his
-
cash because right now.
-
Well, what's happening right now? We've been told that the
-
Iranians have launched an attack against Saudi Arabia. Brian, I
-
was just talking privately what the Israelis should do. Because
-
If you wanted to stir them up in unison, the
-
Israelis would perform a clandestine strike on Mecca and hit
-
the Kaaba. You blow that black box to smithereens, and oh,
-
they would come out of the wood. Just imagine, well,
-
let's take the state of Michigan. The state of Michigan
-
would just burn. I mean, I'm pretty sure by this time,
-
it's pretty well common knowledge that the Muslims run Michigan.
-
I mean, hey. So you can just imagine all these
-
Muslim-occupied states. I mean, all these conspiracy theorists love to
-
talk about Israeli false flags. like the attack on the
-
USS Liberty. All right? That would be pale in comparison. Okay?
-
Just last week, the Spirit led me to look, and
-
I found that the Israelis themselves are investigating their own
-
secret services because they had to have known before the
-
October 7th attacks. They had to have known. So the
-
Israelis themselves are trying to trigger investigations. And to their
-
own leaders. But this is what you really want to do.
-
Take a ship. And put on it a mobile Tomahawk
-
cruise missile launcher. Very easy to do today. Just about
-
any fishing boat would work. Get as close as you can.
-
And I'll just tell you. Get within 10 meters. Of
-
a American missile boat and just fire off the missile
-
and take out the Kaba. Oh, yes, we could. And
-
of course, the radar signature would imprint on that U.S. warship.
-
And then the Israelis wouldn't have to worry about being attacked.
-
All resources would be funneled to attack the Americans. The
-
Israelis would be ignored. Did that send a chill up
-
your spine? Because all your senators and congressmen are already
-
bought and paid for You don't even know how, do you? Look, man.
-
The senators and congressmen, they passed the bills to send
-
the Israelis billions upon billions upon billions of dollars, and
-
the Mossad agents just passed that money right back underneath
-
the table to guess who? The senators and congressmen that
-
passed the bill. You see, This isn't funny. It's not
-
funny what I'm discussing. I'm not intending to give you
-
this many details out in the open. So, that being
-
the case, is there anything else anybody wants to talk about?
-
Anything, anybody?
-
I guess we could end it right here. I could
-
just ramble on. I can just let the Spirit move
-
and just jump from topic to topic. So, there's two
-
sets of verses looking forward that you need to concern
-
yourself with. There really is. Well, I shouldn't say that.
-
I should include the first. First. What should I do? Hmm.
-
All right, you need to know all three. I've already
-
given them all to you. You desperately need to write
-
this down. Deuteronomy chapter 30, verses 15 through 20. Matthew
-
chapter 26 verses 26 through 29. Hebrews chapter 10 verses
-
26 through 29. You don't need to concern yourself with
-
anything else. You literally need to memorize these verses. You
-
literally need to memorize them. Many of you are unwise virgins.
-
And you're not going into the banquet hall. That's not
-
going to happen. Many of you... In the name of Christ...
-
Don't have your wedding garments on. You're going to be
-
kicked out.
-
Of the banquet hall. You need to understand... It is
-
of paramount importance... That you make it inside this banquet
-
hall and you stay in the banquet hall. The only
-
way to do that is to renew the covenant. There's
-
no such thing as dispensations. That's all theological myths. God
-
deals with his people one exacting way. It's called a covenant.
-
It's called a marriage. That's what a marriage is. A
-
marriage is a covenant. Okay. And you need to figure
-
this out. That water baptism is likened to taking communion,
-
but only the first part. You only take the bread
-
of life. And you clothe yourself with Christ's name. You
-
must continue on to partake of where the life is.
-
The life is in his blood. And he says that
-
his blood is the new covenant. That's where the life is.
-
That's what you need. The Word calls this being baptized
-
in the Holy Spirit. If you don't do this, you're
-
worse than dead. You're worse than dead. You're worse than dead.
-
What I've told you is true. The difference between these
-
things is whether or not you Partake of the bread
-
of life and continue to sin willfully. Because if you do,
-
you won't get baptized by the Holy Spirit. What you're
-
going to do is you will insult the Holy Spirit.
-
What I just told you is the unadulterated gospel truth.
-
That's the gospel truth. This is the message you need to...
-
Don't worry about what's going on in Iran. Do you
-
think those who are asleep in Jesus are worried about
-
Yom Kippur? Let me guess. This is the first time
-
you've ever heard this. Wow, the Holy Spirit just spoke.
-
You really haven't heard this. I'm sorry for being so harsh.
-
Let me back up. Ladies and gentlemen, there really is
-
three different revenants in the Bible. Look, write this down. R-E-V-E-N-A-N-T-S.
-
There's three revenants. I'm not lying to you. There is
-
the first group. They've entered the rest. That is to say,
-
they physically died. And they are past the point of decomposition. Okay? So,
-
they don't have cadavers anymore. Okay? They solely reside in paradise.
-
That's the first revenant. The second revenant is once these
-
things begin, are the dead in Christ. The threshold has
-
been crossed. Jesus Christ has been handed that double-sided, seven-sealed
-
bifurcation declaration. After that, the Christians who are killed, of course,
-
will not be able to decompose. They will still have
-
cadavers at the return of Christ.
-
Okay?
-
Okay?
-
I'm not trying to confuse you. I'm literally giving you information. Okay?
-
The third group of revenants are those who are alive
-
and remain. We all only need to worry about the
-
same things. There's only one promise that's been made to
-
all three revenant groups. So, just like my mother taught me,
-
if the people in paradise aren't worried about it, you
-
shouldn't be, Matthew. Do you even know what the promise is?
-
The promise is the Resurrection. Now, I personally don't read novels.
-
I never have. Look, it's a waste of time. I
-
get a kick out of one of my children comes
-
to me and tells me that they had to read
-
Bram Stroker's Dracula in high school. Come to find out,
-
this was the whole purpose of the good guy trying
-
to save their girlfriend. Because once Dracula had made you
-
a vampire... your body couldn't take place. And guess what
-
Bram Stoker said? Not the rapture. That's a myth. The
-
whole point to try to save his fiancée was because
-
she couldn't take part in the resurrection. The resurrection is
-
the promise. Not some delusional, disassociated from reality pre-trip rapture. No,
-
it's the resurrection. Even Bram Stoker knew that. But once again,
-
we go back to the time frame that I mentioned earlier. Look,
-
I'm telling you the truth. Before the 1800s, every Christian
-
who ever lived on every continent all knew the resurrection
-
was true. And that is the promise. It's not a promise.
-
It's the promise. It's the promise that we will be
-
able to live just like God created Adam. This is what.
-
I might be creating information overload, but I've just got
-
to tell it to you true. This is why the
-
Greek word apokatastasis is in the Word. It's in the Word,
-
praise God. Because that means Jesus Christ is going to
-
come here, set up His kingdom in His capital, and
-
He will restore creation. And we're going to live for
-
a thousand years underneath the same auspices that Adam lived
-
before Eve, killed us all. But the dispensationalists and the
-
preterists don't want you to know the word. They educate
-
you in cunningly devised fables, labeling them theological myths, They
-
will never edify you in the word. They'll never do that.
-
So one more time. Anything anybody wants to talk about
-
before we get off here?
-
Hi, Matthew. I have a comment and a question.
-
Sure.
-
So my comment was when I was reading 1 Corinthians 15,
-
somehow I had a loose wire that spiritual was first.
-
But it plainly states in the text of 46, the
-
natural man was first and afterward the spiritual.
-
Yes. Yes.
-
Heaven and earth, right?
-
Amen. Amen.
-
And the first Adam and the last Adam.
-
Amen.
-
And that was just really a celebration in my spirit
-
to read that and to get that. I had some call,
-
but the spirit was first in that. No, that's not right.
-
It led me actually back to a place in Genesis 2,
-
the histories of the heaven and earth being created in
-
the tree of life. And I noticed that the river
-
came out of Eden. And in that garden was the
-
tree of life. And we don't really hear about it
-
again until Revelation 22. Right. The tree of life for
-
the healing of the nations. And I'm just blown away
-
about seeing that connection. And that river and the head
-
of it, the flowing water coming up from the throne
-
of God and the lamb.
-
Yeah, amen.
-
Amen.
-
And so I thought about eternal life, you know, when
-
man fell and the cherubim stopped him from coming back
-
in the garden.
-
Stopped.
-
And the tree of life was guarded so that man
-
would never be able to take from it. And then
-
we see the picture when he can take from it.
-
So eternal life, I'm thinking from my understanding that eternal
-
life comes from Jesus, from our abiding presence of the
-
Lord being born again. Eternal life is given that promise
-
at the resurrection, or do we wait for the new
-
heaven and earth?
-
Um, Shall I tell you in a different way?
-
I know that's a lot to chew off, but this
-
is where my mind was at today. Actually, last week.
-
Well, let me do it a different way. The tree
-
of life is a type of a tree.
-
It is.
-
It's an olive tree. Thus saith the word. Okay. All right.
-
Everybody here. Let me just read a single verse, and
-
it'll trigger remembrances for you. And if some branches are
-
broken on, and you, being a wild olive tree, are
-
grafted in among them, and with them become a partaker
-
of the root and the fatness of the olive tree,
-
do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast,
-
remember that you do not support the root, but the
-
root supports you. Here, The tree of life is called
-
an olive tree. This is why in heaven, when you
-
see this funky thing, you know, everybody's confused. What on
-
earth is that? So there's two olive trees, and they
-
got little tubes coming out from them, and the olive
-
oil is pouring out into these lamps, and yeah, ladies
-
and gentlemen, I'm not lying to you. The tree of
-
life is an olive tree, and Jesus Christ is the tree.
-
He, he, yeah.
-
Praise God.
-
Amen.
-
So that's what God is doing here.
-
And the fig tree was that other tree, right?
-
It's the other tree. Yes. It's the other tree. Yes.
-
It's the other tree. And remember, this is why the
-
Capri wasp is required. I've stated this before. Look this up.
-
Well, anyway.
-
I don't need to give glory where glory is certainly
-
not due. I do need to glorify what does need it.
-
And this is what the Word is saying in Romans
Romans 11 chapter mention
-
chapter 11. It's saying that the tree of life is
-
an olive tree. But that's okay. This is how in
-
it the nations rejoice. I mean, Carol said it. He
-
quoted from Revelation chapter 22, not understanding, yeah, he said
Revelation 22 chapter mention
-
that already in Romans chapter 11. This is just a
Romans 11 chapter mention
-
reiteration of it. I am telling you the truth. Ladies
-
and gentlemen, I'm telling you the truth. Okay. Let's go
-
ahead and do this.
-
Um....
-
Okay, you have to understand that. Let me just read it. Okay,
-
Revelation chapter 22, verse 2. In the middle of the
-
stream and on either side of the river was the
-
tree of life, which bore 12 fruits, each tree yielding
-
its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were
-
for the healing of the nations. What is he saying?
-
He's saying that if you're a wild olive branch, I
-
categorically already told you this. Because the nations, the wild
-
olive branches, have been put into the tree and they
-
have life, praise God. Do you not have... I've been
-
telling you for 16 years of ministry God did not
-
write the Bible to confuse you. He wrote it to
-
explain it to you. So when you didn't understand it
-
in Romans chapter 11, that's okay. He was going to
Romans 11 chapter mention
-
give you a literal, a literal explanation in Revelation chapter 22. Now,
Revelation 22 chapter mention
-
how do you go through the narrow gate?
-
How?
-
He tells you. Verse 14. Blessed are those who do
-
His commandments. You must hearken to the covenant. Praise God.
-
You need to memorize this. I'm not playing around with
-
you now. You better start writing it down. Write it
-
down a hundred times until you've got it memorized. Deuteronomy
-
chapter 30 verses 15 through 20. You better figure it out.
-
There's only one way to hear his voice. That's through
-
the blood of the covenant. Revelation chapter 22 verse 14.
-
Blessed are those who do his commandments that they may
-
have the right to the tree of life and may
-
enter through the gates into the city. There's 12 of
-
them narrow gates. and you better figure it out. There's
-
only one nation and it's comprised of 12 different tribes. Okay?
-
Okay?
-
Those 12, I don't care if they were Jew or
-
whether they were Gentile, they came through one of the
-
12 disciples. Not Judaism.
-
Not Judaism.
-
The 12th one is Matthias. That's true. Thus saith the Word.
-
Who cares what the theologians say? If you're a Christian,
-
you've come through the gate, through one of those 12 disciples.
-
Thus saith the Word, praise God. Thus saith the Word.
-
This should make you excited. It should make you excited. Well,
-
it did Carol. Once this light bulb went off in
-
her head when I gave her the information... It created joy.
-
It created excitement. These things are true by God. Who
-
cares what the God-haters say? I mean, they've got a
-
theological myth for every day of the week. So look,
-
there's three things you need to memorize. And if you don't,
-
God is going to eject you from the wedding banquet.
-
And believe me, you, when you get to the barn,
-
I know you gnash your teeth at that. You think
-
that only poor people, only scummy people are born in
-
a barn? Like Jesus, right? You think they're scummy and
-
you're better? I'm here to tell you. God's going to
-
kick you out of the barn and I'll be able
-
to smell you a mile away. My wife will smell
-
your stench from across the stalls. Now, you deserve the
-
right to know what it says. So I'm going to
-
read to you the covenant. You need to renew it.
-
You can only renew the covenant through his blood. You
-
must be baptized in the spirit. I'm going to read
-
it for you again. I'm going to translate for you
-
a couple of things. Here in the Hebrew, when it
-
says cross the Jordan, this is a play on Hebrew words.
-
It's prophetic. In Hebrew, it says the opposite of descend.
-
Eber means the opposite. It's the same word that you
-
use if you're face to face with somebody because their
-
face is opposite of yours. You're addressing them. Same word
-
as used. The word for Jordan is the word for descend.
-
The opposite of descend is to ascend. You must re-enter paradise.
-
Christ can lead you there if you hold and do
-
what Jesus Christ did when he was in the flesh. Okay?
-
So you need to know it's speaking prophetically here. When
-
it talks about the laws and statutes, you know what
-
Jesus Christ did. He gives it a different name. He
-
calls it the Beatitudes. When he mentions your descendants here,
-
he means other Christians that have been won to Christ
-
through your church's evangelism. He's not talking about your literal children.
-
He's talking about your fellow congregants. And I'm here to
-
tell you, come the great apostasy, they will make a
-
martyr out of you. If you say, no, you can't
-
just take the bread You have to take the blood too.
-
They'll gnash their teeth. They'll make a martyr out of you.
-
They'll do it right now. So, the covenant. Deuteronomy chapter 30,
-
verses 15 through 20. See, I have set before you
-
today life and good, death and evil. In that I
-
command you today to love the Lord your God, to
-
walk in His ways, And to keep his company. He's
-
talking about Jesus. Let me say this again. Because the
-
Lord is Jesus. I'm going to retranslate this for you.
-
In that I command you today to love God. the
-
Lord Jesus your God, to walk in Jesus' ways, and
-
to keep Jesus' commandments, Jesus' statutes, and Jesus' judgments, that
-
you may live and multiply, and that the Lord Jesus
-
your God will bless you in the land which you
-
go to possess. But if your heart turns away, so
-
that you do not hear and are drawn away to
-
worship other gods and serve them, I announce to you
-
today that you shall surely perish. You shall not prolong
-
your days in the land which you cross over the
-
Jordan to go in and to possess. I call heaven
-
and earth as witness today against you, that I have
-
set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore
-
choose life, that both.
-
You and your descendants may live, that you may love
-
the Lord Jesus your God, that you may obey his voice,
-
that you may cling to Jesus, for Jesus is your life.
-
And the length of your days, and that you may
-
dwell in the land which the Lord Jesus swore to
-
your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to give them. Now,
-
how do you renew this covenant? Write this down. Matthew 26,
-
verse 26 through 29. And as they were eating, Jesus
-
took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to
-
the disciples and said, Take, eat. This is my body.
-
Then he took the cup and gave thanks and gave
-
it to them, saying, Drink from it, all of you,
-
for this is my blood of the new covenant, which
-
is shed for many for the remission of sins. But
-
I say to you, I will not drink of this
-
fruit of the vine from now on until the day
-
I drink it anew with you. In my father's kingdom.
-
Now take note. Why did he give thanks after they
-
took the bread? You didn't catch that, did you? Did
-
you know God wrote it to explain it to you,
-
but you wouldn't listen to him? Did you know that?
-
That's your problem. You're not listening to it. I'm going
-
to reveal to you why you can't hear him. Because
-
God wrote the word to explain it to you that
-
you might choose to live. Hebrews chapter 10 verses 26
-
through 29. So you've been baptized in water You've taken
-
the bread of life. You're wearing Jesus Christ's name. You
-
call yourself a Christian now, right? For if we sin
-
willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth,
-
there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins. So this
-
nullifies the new covenant. You understand. Jesus Christ said, this
-
blood has come from my sacrificing myself for your sins.
-
You've rejected that. You've continued to sin willfully after taking
-
my bread of life. So what happens if once you
-
take away baptism and you continue to sin willfully, will
-
you be baptized in the Holy Spirit? Let's find out,
-
because this is the Word. It is eternal. But a
-
certain fearful expectation of judgment and fiery indignation, which will
-
devour the adversaries, Anyone who rejected Moses' law dies without
-
mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of
-
how much worse punishment do you suppose will be thought
-
worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted
-
the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified
-
a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of Grace? I'm
-
going to tell you. Oh, I know what the much
-
worse punishment is. You get thrown out into the Great Tribulation.
-
You enter an uninhabitable environment and it's there where.
-
You will live.
-
Because the Word declares in Revelation chapter 9 verse 6,
-
God orders death to flee from you and you will
-
know in your heart what you are. So I've given
-
it to you categorically. And in so, the word has
-
revealed to you, you better choose life and good. Don't
-
be a foolish virgin. Don't come up in God's wedding
-
banquet without your wedding garment. And what are your wedding garments?
-
The word says the righteous acts of the saints. That's
-
your garments. Thus saith the word, praise God. I don't
-
need some prophet. I don't need some God-hater that's making
-
six-figure digits every year that prances around on TV. I
-
have the word. I reject everything else. You better renew
-
the covenant. I hope you do so before you make
-
a martyr out of me. but do not be misled.
-
I already have the promise. Does that confuse you? There
-
is nothing in which those that asleep in Christ worry
-
about that doesn't bring me concern. I only worry about
-
what they worry about. And that is echoed in a
-
single phrase. How long, oh Lord, how long? How long?
-
You made this dimension for Abraham and his seed. This
-
is not the devil's playground. Are you ready? Are you ready?
-
Or do you even care? That's a real question. Do
-
you even care? Well, that is the question of questions,
-
isn't it? So, anybody else got anything they want to
-
talk about? Anybody? Here we go again. Going once. Going twice.
-
Third time's a charm. You've missed your chance. Until next time,
-
ladies and gentlemen, God bless. Godspeed.
