Narrow Gate Closing

And it's greatly appreciated you decided to join me here

on youtube for my live stream and today i've got

a pretty bambastic one a very timely message it's very

apropos that this is on a sunday my sunday morning

live streams usually do very well i'm running very late

this is almost two hours later from where i usually

do my live stream on sunday mornings but This message

is very apropos. And in light of recent events. With

the closing of the Strait of Hormuz. I think this

is very apropos. And prophetically speaking. You need to be made.

You deserve to know. What you're going to go through.

So with that in mind. God bless everybody. Matthew Miller

here from Maranatha Ministries. We're going to be doing the

narrow gate closing today. This gate. Was created. A very

long time ago. All the way back. In Deuteronomy chapter 30.

Deuteronomy 30 · chapter mention

And this is the crux. And this is. The scripture

around which. Jesus Christ was referencing. What is the first commandment.

To love the Lord your God with all your heart.

With all your soul. With all your mind. It's incorporated here.

Where this gate is created. Here it's given a very.

interesting name it is called the gate and good the

gate of life and good so Deuteronomy chapter 30 starting

Deuteronomy 30 · chapter mention

in verse 15 see I have set before you today

life and good death and evil and that I command

you today to love the Lord your God to walk

in his ways to keep his statutes as judgments that

you may live and multiply and the Lord 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 you shall not prolong your days in

the land which you Cross over the Jordan to go

in and possess. I call heaven and earth. As witnesses 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

your God. that you may obey his voice, that you

may cling to him, for he is your life and

the length of your days, and that you may dwell

in the land which the Lord before your fathers to Abraham, Isaac,

and Jacob to give them. Sorry, the word land which

the Lord swore to give your fathers to Abraham, Isaac,

and Jacob to give to them. So this is the

creation of the gate. Now take note. It's very important

that you realize here he calls both dimensions as witness

against you. He calls the two dimensions that he has

created from the very first verse, Genesis chapter 1, verse 1.

Genesis 1:1

In the beginning, he created the spiritual world and the

material world. That's who he is using to bear, to

bring witness against those of you who remain in the

name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and yet do not

hear his voice. It was very clear that these passages,

the fulfillment comes, of course, after the baptism of the

Holy Spirit, and you're born again. This is the only

way you can hear the voice of the Lord your

God and obey. It's the only way to do it.

There is no other way. We'll get to that in

due time. Because we're going to go through all these verses.

But it's very apropos that you know something else very

prophetically here in that he states that to cross over

the Jordan here in verse 18. Let me read it again.

I announce that you shall perish and you shall not

prolong your days in the land which you cross over

the Jordan to go in to possess. You need to

understand that the Lord Jesus Christ here is being very prophetic.

These are the two perfect Hebrew words used in conjunction

to mean to ascend. To ascend. So take note. He

uses a combination here of the word Hebrew and Jordan.

Heber Yordan. That's what he's saying in Hebrew. Well, the

thing about it is, ladies and gentlemen, you have to

get used to the Hebrew language being very prophetic. Now here,

you have to take note that the Judaists have no

idea how to pronounce. God took the vowels from them,

so they used their little jots and tittles to try

to come up with the pronunciation correctly. All linguists reject these.

All linguists know that probably the closest way to pronounce

Hebrew is how the Samaritans pronounce it. All linguists on

this planet will readily accept this. So take that Hebrew

here is G5647, but it's also H47. 5675. It's also 5676.

It is also 5677. So, one Hebrew word has four

different strong entries. And you need to understand that this means,

it means, well, It means on the other side. It

literally means the opposite of. That's what Eber means. The

opposite of. But take note, they put four different definitions.

They put their jobs and titles on it and say, well,

when it's pronounced this way over here, you pronounce it. No,

you can't know that. You can't know that. God took

the vows from them. They have no idea how to

pronounce it. So they've taken... This word, when it's used

four different ways, and give it four different strong numbers,

but take note, it's the same example. This word means

the opposite of. That's what it means. That's why it's

used when you're in the presence of somebody, because if

you're facing somebody, their face is opposite of yours, like

looking in a mirror. Now, when you go to the

word face, Jordan, Hebrew, Yarden, okay, what does that mean?

It means to descend. You prophetically put these two Hebrew

words together and it prophetically means to ascend back to

the garden. That's where this narrow gate will take you to. Now,

if you don't know Hebrew, you can't see this. You're

not seeing this Deuteronomy chapter 30. But that's going to

Deuteronomy 30 · chapter mention

be very important by the time we get to the

end of this message. That's what it's talking about. You

are supposed to ascend. Well, take note. I'll just take

a side note right here and tell you this. Look

up the Greek word epi-rano. Epi-rano. Because our place is

in the heavenlies with Jesus. Because we have in fact

gone through the narrow gate and ascended. back to paradise.

That's what happens when you've been born again. You take

all the wickedness and the iniquity. You stop dedicating your

life to practicing those things. You go back to the

way Adam originally was before the fall.

It's your own intention to do with God's will and pleasure,

which is plainly stated in one singular verse.

Boy, I know sometimes I ramble on and on and on,

but it's very prophetic that you see what he's saying

here by saying Eber Yarden. You put those two words in,

what's the opposite? What's the... This comes to the Greek

word Epi Arano. Our place is in the heavenlies with

Lord Jesus Christ. Anyway, getting to the next, and it's

not the only time I realize that At this point

in time, the entire world has become Babylon because we

are born again Christians in Russia we're born again Christians

in France we're born again Christians in Antarctica we're spread

out all over the place and this place has fallen

underneath the rule and the reign of one world power

This is common knowledge that you cannot conduct world trade

without using the American dollar. It's common knowledge that the

global lingua franca is American English. It's common knowledge you

cannot fly on this planet unless you speak English because

you're not permitted to land in airports unless you speak English.

All white papers, in order to be peer-reviewed, must be

written in American English. It's literally common knowledge. So, that's

what is being talked about here. This is prophetically referencing

the future in which the new covenant would be instituted.

And through that new covenant, we could enter in through

the narrow gate. Jeremiah chapter 21, verses 8 through 10.

Jeremiah 21:8–10

Now you shall say to this, thus says the Lord, behold,

I set before you the way of life and the

way of death. He who remains in the city shall

die by the sword, by famine, by pestilence. But he

who goes out and defects to the Chaldeans who besiege you,

he shall live and his life shall be a prize

for him. for adversity and not for good, says the Lord.

It shall be given into the hand of the king

of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire. Take note. Prophetically,

this is a direct reference to when we all, no

matter what city that we're in, Revelation chapter 12, it

Revelation 12 · chapter mention

gets to that point, the abomination of desolation, and we

flee to the wilderness. We escape all the cities. because

that is about what is to be done. So prophetically,

this is referencing the birth pains. How do we know?

It mentions here God's four severe judgments in verse 9.

It says, shall die by the sword, famine, and by pestilence. Here,

take note, the call of demons would be an overt

reference to the wild beast of the earth. So anyway,

Very important that you see that the narrow gate is

choosing the way of life. Here now, the word has

proclaimed this twice. So let's get to the first actual

reference here in Matthew chapter 7, verses 13 and 14.

Matthew 7:13

Can't stand alone. In the next one, it's incorporated into

a prophetic parable. So from Matthew chapter 7, 13 and 14.

Matthew 7 · chapter mention

Enter by the narrow gate, for wide is the gate

and broad is the way that leads to destruction. And

there are many who go in by the narrow gate.

What is he talking about? He's talking about the blood

of the covenant. These people take the blood of the

covenant and then they continue sinning willfully. But we'll get

to that. Let me finish. this stanza verse 14 because

narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which

leads to life and there are few who find it

you could literally say this that once you've entered the

modern church and you're baptized into it that is to

say a water baptism you go in through the door

But the only way to enter the kingdom of heaven

is through the little bitty keyhole. All right. So, now

we get to the real prophetic narrative here in Luke

Luke 13:23–30

chapter 13, verses 23 through 30. For those of you

who aren't aware, I did a fellowship on this, I think, sometime.

But anyway, that fellowship was about the outer darkness. Here

you get the same idea. Those who go through the

wide gate, they wind up in the outer darkness. Let's

read all about it straight from the Word. Luke 13, 22.

And he went through the cities and villages, teaching and

journeying toward Jerusalem. Then one said to him, Lord, are

there few who are saved? And he said to them,

strive to enter through the narrow gate. For many, I

say to you, will seek to enter and will not

be able. For once the master of the house has

risen up and shut the door, you begin to stand

outside and knock at the door saying, Lord, Lord, open

for us. Listen very carefully. Jesus Christ is not saying

he's the Lord. He's saying it's his Father. Take note

what's about to be said. And he will answer and

say to you, I do not know you. Where are

you from? Then you will begin to say, we ate

and drank in your presence and you taught in our streets.

Of course, this is churchgoers saying this. This is churchgoers,

ladies and gentlemen, that have accepted only a water baptism.

They have not been baptized in the Holy Spirit. They've

not been born again. What is the Father's reply? But

he will say to you, I do not know you.

Where you are from, depart from me, all you workers

of iniquity. You believe in free grace. These people who

believe once saved always saved eternal security. You get water

baptized and you just keep right on practicing iniquity. No. No.

You're not going to pull a fast one on the Father.

That's just not going to happen. Let us continue. There

will be a when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and

yourselves thrust out. They will come from east and from

west and from north and south and sit down in

the kingdom of God and indeed There are last who

will be first, and there are first who will be last.

So take note. This is another indirect reference to once

again the wedding feast. This is an indirect reference to

the parable of the wedding banquet and the parable of

the ten virgins, Matthew 22 and 25. This is just,

this prophetic parable, References to what the father himself will do.

So you must be born again. You must enter through

the narrow gate. That's what these things are saying. Now,

how do you do this? How do you choose the gate?

How do you choose the gate? This is where communion

comes in. Of course, the other side of the aisle,

they don't call it. They call it Something else. So,

picking it up here in Matthew chapter 26, 26 through 30,

Matthew 26 · chapter mention

Jesus Christ plainly tells you what the narrow gate is.

You must renew this very same covenant all the way

back from Matthew chapter 30. You must renew this covenant.

You must listen to his voice. The only way you

can listen to his voice is via the Holy Spirit.

You can't hear his voice any other way. There are

many who think they hear his voice, and in fact

they do not. Matthew chapter 26, 26.

Matthew 26 · chapter mention

And as they were eating Jesus' food, blessed and broke

it and gave it to the disciples and said, take.

Eat, this is my body. Then he took the cup,

gave thanks and gave it to them saying, drink from it,

all of you, for this is my covenant, which is

shed for many for the remissions of sin. But I

say to you, I will not drink of this fruit

of the vine from now on until the day when

I drink it anew with you in my Father's kingdom.

So take note. The white gate is his body. That's

when you get water baptism. That's when you enter the church.

It's through his body by taking the bread. However, the

life is not in the body. The life is in

the blood. You must be born again. This is stating

that the old covenant, which he talked about the narrow way,

he said, I give you two things to choose from,

life and good. I read it to you. We'll read

it before we end this live stream. You need to

know where it comes from. You cannot just take the bread.

You just cannot be water baptized. The life isn't in

the body. It's in the blood. The life is in

the blood. You must be born again. So, where is

this brought to bear? Where can we do these things?

Very easy. I learned these things in Sunday school When

I was an adolescent, Matthew 26, 26 through 29, it

is explained in Hebrews chapter 10, the same verses, 26

Hebrews 10 · chapter mention

through 29. It's that simple. Once you take Once you

take and enter in through the gate of the new covenant,

you must be born again. You cannot just continue to

sin willfully. You cannot make up a theological myth about

penal substitution or eternal security. Those are all myths that

lead to death. They lead to Death. They lead to death.

God the Father will not permit a harlot to marry

his son. That's delusional in thinking. That's delusional thinking. So,

Hebrews chapter 10, verse 26. For if we sin willfully

Hebrews 10:26

after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there

no longer remains a sacrifice for sins. If you continue

to sin, you've taken the bread. You will never partake

of the blood. Verse 27. But a certain fearful expectation

of judgment and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.

Anyone who rejects Moses' law dies without mercy on the

testimony of two or three witnesses. 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? The Spirit of Grace will

only do one of two things. or you due to

your continuance of sinning you will insult him it's a

one way ticket this is plainly defined in this text

from the word you must believe the word not the

traditions of men they are leading you unto death so

let's go back and now let's read where this narrow

gate was created and hearken to the voice of the

Lord hearken to the voice of the Lord if you

do these things if you act like you love him

you will follow his statutes you will not euthanize your

parents You will not abort your babies. You will not

commit adultery on your spouse. You will not fornicate with

your coworker. Listen to this succinctly. You must pry your

mind around these cunningly devised fables. these theological myths, this

is true. This is where God establishes the narrow gate. 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 and to walk in His way,

and to keep his commands, his statutes, his judgments, that

you will be multiplied, and the Lord 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, and worship other gods

and serve them, I announce to you today that you

shall surely perish forever. You shall not prevent me to

cross over the Jordan to go in and possess. I

call heaven and earth as witnesses 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 your God, that you

may obey his voice, that you may cling to him,

for he is your life and the length of your days,

and that you may dwell in the land which the

Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, to

give to them. There's no pre-trib rapture to heaven. Luke

Luke 13 · chapter mention

chapter 13 was very clear. The narrow gate gets closed

after Operation Eagles. After you've been taken to the banquet hall.

Once you've been taken to the barn. These things are

plainly deductive from the black and white plain reading of

God's Word. Yes, I've given you other things today, especially

like Eber your dad. The opposite of that is to

a sin. You need to hearken to the word. You

need to reject all the traditions of men. You need

to start rejecting all their traditions. There's no such thing

as penal substitution. There's no such thing. There's no such

thing as once saved, always saved. You cannot continue living

like the devil and then consummate a marriage. No, that's

never going to happen. That's delusional thinking. And once you've

been born again, if you're alive and remain, you will

be able to live in paradise. Because guess what God

is going to do to this planet at the return

of Jesus Christ? It's going to be restored. Yes. The

Greek word stasis is real. Preterism is false. That's a

false lie. This planet will be restored back to paradise

and we'll be able to live just like Adam did

before he sinned. And that goes on for a thousand

years as Satan is incarcerated in the abyss for the

duration All these things are true. All these things. are

steps in the passage through the narrow gate praise God

praise God so that you that have been born again

if you have any encouraging words or prayers please put

those in the comments Please like the video and share

the video so that it might edify other people. Please

subscribe to the channel and take note. Here in Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 30 · chapter mention

chapter 30, it says you and your descendants. Do you

know what that means? That means your fellow congregants. We're

on the road to save people, not to teach people, hey,

You don't have to change your ways. There's no such

thing as a straight and narrow. Just say you accept

Jesus as the Messiah and you can continue to send

your way into heaven. No, ladies and gentlemen, those are

all lies. That's the devil. That is literally a variation

of what the devil said to Eve. That's what caused

all this mess. So, I no longer carry a culture

of repentance for those that have partaken of the bread alone,

that have been water baptized alone. We don't have time

for that anymore. I've switched my message to a message

of dire warning for those of you that's been born again.

This prophetically is what Jesus Christ was talking about here

in Deuteronomy chapter 30, your descendants. He is meaning that

Deuteronomy 30 · chapter mention

your descendants, yes, your fellow congregants. It's your brother will

betray brother, mother, father, yada, yada, yada. This is the

descendants he's talking about. Deuteronomy chapter 30 verses 15 through

Deuteronomy 30:15–20

20 is pure prophecy. It's purely prophetic. when he's talking

about his descendants, he's talking about fellow Christians, when he's

talking about crossing the Jordan, he's meaning ascending into the

heavenlies with Jesus Christ. This whole thing is prophetic. Please

take warning. These water-baptized fellow congregants of yours, they're going

to make martyrs out of you. Until next time, ladies

and gentlemen, God bless.
