  1. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the fellowship. Tonight, I've

  2. got something planned here. I've been collecting verses, or one

  3. might say, collating verses, but anyway, a message. I was

  4. driving home from work today, and the Spirit moved. So,

  5. I don't know why, I don't know who, who, what, where, when, why,

  6. and frankly, I don't care. That's none of my business. So,

  7. Let's open the floor, make sure that the Spirit's not

  8. moving us in directions I don't know. Is there anything

  9. anybody wants to talk about tonight? Okay. Let me ask

  10. everybody this. Got some very strange things going on, right?

  11. Just saw... some news from NOAA today that we're in

  12. the middle of a super El Nino. And they're saying that.

  13. Well, they're saying that the records are surpassing anything we've

  14. had before. So the current ocean temperatures have never been

  15. like this before. So... What does everybody think about that

  16. or other instances of things going on around us that

  17. really are really troubling them? Anybody? Anything in particular?

  18. Well, Matthew, there's more hurricanes in the Pacific than I've

  19. ever seen. And I think one of the largest ones

  20. on record is happening right now at 200 miles an hour.

  21. And there's a huge jet stream coming toward you. You're

  22. going to have a cold winter.

  23. Well, praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.

  24. Yeah.

  25. And, you know, I've got that to say no matter

  26. what the news says. Praise the Lord. Because, well, I mean,

  27. the problem is that we truly become aliens, don't we?

  28. That's really what the Holy Spirit does. It literally transforms

  29. us into aliens. The people around us, well, they become Chaldeans.

  30. This is what the word says. And the word warns

  31. us about this time. It warns us and It's amazing

  32. how people just won't listen to the warning. So, you know,

  33. of course, if the ocean temperatures are higher than they've

  34. ever been, of course, this temper differential will enforce, not cause,

  35. it will enforce cyclonic action. It will force cyclonic action. So,

  36. you know, we could go back 10 years, and what

  37. we would be seeing would not make any sense, but

  38. yet that's what we're seeing right now, and people are

  39. just kind of, they're just kind of ho-hum. They're just

  40. kind of ho-hum about it. Well, you know, records are

  41. broke all the time, right? They are so at ease

  42. and they're so at peace.

  43. Right?

  44. They have everything they could want. I mean, they have

  45. gotten into these routines... wherein they are satisfied with tomorrow

  46. before tomorrow happens. Now, I'll give you a quite personal example.

  47. I'm not going to mention names. This person was... I mean,

  48. how do I put that? He had generational wealth. Okay,

  49. so he had used that wealth to create more wealth. Okay.

  50. Had a lovely family, you know, lovely Christian family. You know,

  51. they're in the whole nine yards. His dad is a preacher, right?

  52. So as much into the church as humanly possible. And

  53. one day, after I met him, one day come along

  54. and he had his, you have a main artery that

  55. runs from your heart down into your leg. Everybody knows

  56. about this artery. Well, it split from top to bottom.

  57. That artery just split. It just split all the way down.

  58. The minute before it happened, he was standing at the

  59. island in their kitchen, you know, talking with his wife

  60. and children. Bam! And that's where most Christians are at

  61. right now. They are not concerned with tomorrow at all because, well,

  62. the Bible categorically talks about this. I mean, everybody knows it,

  63. but no preacher ever preaches it. The simple fact that... Well,

  64. the simple fact, people, that.

  65. The redeemed did not want to leave the captivity. They

  66. didn't want to leave it. They had a cush life.

  67. They were freed from the labors of the Lord their God. Boy,

  68. I bet that stung, didn't it? Bet it stung. You

  69. need to understand why the children of Israel loved Babylon

  70. so much. They didn't have to do any temple worship.

  71. They didn't have to take a tent of all their

  72. best lambs to the temple to slaughter them. They had

  73. a cush. They didn't have to trudge all the way

  74. across the country, three times a year, they had freedom

  75. from God. Quite simply, they refused to come back. They

  76. refused to go back home. Now, those that refused to

  77. come back home, they said, oh, we'll support you. We'll

  78. give you cash and gold and, ah, yes. fulfilling the

  79. reciprocation of isochronology. The Israelites who stayed behind in Babylon,

  80. they were too dumb to know what they had become

  81. was the Egyptians. Let me guess. I just said something

  82. you never figured out for yourself. Because no one was

  83. going to tell you. Your preachers were not going to

  84. tell you. Yeah, the Bible is very clear. They said,

  85. we're not going to go back to Israel. We don't

  86. want to build us a temple. Why would we want

  87. to build us a temple? Because then we'd have to

  88. give God a tenth of everything. We'd have to trudge

  89. to the temple three times a year. So what did

  90. they do? The word is very clear. They said, we'll

  91. send you offerings in gold and we'll financially support you. Here, you,

  92. you go. back home. You've never heard this before, have you?

  93. You've never had two and two put together for you,

  94. have you? I'm here to tell you, The Holy Spirit

  95. has told me to no longer... Boy, I'm going to

  96. reach out and touch you. And by God, you will

  97. know you've heard from the Lord. The Lord has changed

  98. my message. I'm no longer to address the daughter of Babylon.

  99. I'm no longer to cry out to her a message

  100. of repentance. I am henceforth to warn the daughter of

  101. Zion that the daughter of Babylon is going to make

  102. a martyr out of her. I will cut straight to

  103. the chase for those of you that have not been

  104. born again and your senses are dull to the hearing.

  105. You better get out of the churches. I'm just telling you. So,

  106. of course, I have no word from the Lord. I'm

  107. no prophet. I'm going to give you the word. The

  108. word that God gave to everybody. And you need to

  109. know in your heart. These verses will come right out

  110. and say what Babylon is, if you have the ears

  111. that can hear it. There's also a catchphrase here that

  112. leads to a different set of verses, wherein it's switched up.

  113. In one verse, it says, God The other verse has

  114. the Tetragramma Con. And you know what? The daughter of

  115. Babylon will never know why. She'll never know why. Did

  116. you even know this existed before I said it? Look,

  117. are you ready? Are you really ready? Are you really

  118. ready to exit the Babylonian system? Because there's only one

  119. Babylon running this planet right now. And all of your

  120. churches are harlots. If they have the 501c3 tax-exempt status,

  121. they're bona fide by and for the government. You are

  122. literally showing up at that church building, worshiping the Statue

  123. of Liberty. Of course, all of you know this. Most

  124. of your sanctuaries have the American flag, right? Look and

  125. see what sets on top of it. Ah, yes. Asher.

  126. True statement. So, You need to know and understand this.

  127. This is what the birth pangs are all about. You

  128. have to get out... From her. You have to get

  129. out of her system. Now look... I need to bring

  130. you up to date on some current events. Okay? I

  131. am sorry... That most of you through entertainment... Think that

  132. all these data centers. Is for AI. I'm sorry if

  133. you've been. Misled to believe that. They have already tested.

  134. In certain English. Speaking countries. This zoning. System.

  135. Where.

  136. They had the servers in place. To do it. And

  137. in this area, they were able to track everybody. And

  138. they were able to lock everybody down to a specific neighborhood.

  139. Because you would go to the gas station outside your neighborhood,

  140. your card wouldn't work. People, the data centers are not

  141. for A.I. They're the noose around your neck. With that

  142. much processing power, they will be able to completely control

  143. you with currency. This is why, what, two weeks ago now,

  144. JPMorgan Chase come out and said they were hiring a

  145. CEO for their digital currency division. Look it up. Of course,

  146. none of your preachers told you anything about it. It

  147. amazes me how people don't understand that they build the

  148. machine first before they tell you what it's for. But anyway,

  149. that's beside the point. This is what's going to make

  150. us flee. There will quite simply be no escaping it.

  151. I mean, you will be ejected from society, people. If

  152. you've been deemed born again, you will go to the

  153. grocery store, your card won't work. Your card won't work

  154. to pay your rent, your card won't work for nothing.

  155. You will literally be ejected from society, no matter how

  156. much money you have. I'm going to say something that's

  157. going to kill you. Just wait and see. Wait and see.

  158. Just wait and see. So. You need to know. Mystery Babylon.

  159. Was a future state. Everything that happened in Babylon would

  160. happen there. Now, I've told you historical facts before, and

  161. it usually makes people mad. This is the truth. When

  162. the Persians took over the Babylonian Empire, they kept the empire.

  163. This is why they've changed the names of the languages.

  164. Aramaic is Kaladim. Yes, it is. They left the language

  165. the same. And in the borders of Babylon, you could

  166. still do commerce in that currency. This made Persia Mystery Babylon.

  167. This made King Cyrus the king of Mystery Babylon. Now,

  168. there's a very special thing you need to understand. King

  169. Cyrus never authorized any temple of God to be built

  170. in his lands. You didn't catch that part, did you?

  171. You're going to. But you need to know that up front.

  172. You have to have understanding to reckon why things happened

  173. in the past. Because God says that's what he's going

  174. to do in the future. So, your system of worship

  175. is from stem to stern. It is Babylonian. Isaiah chapter 48,

    Isaiah 48:20–22

  176. verses 20 through 22. Pretty simple passage. Go forth from Babylon.

  177. Flee from the Chaldeans. With a voice of singing, declare,

  178. proclaim this. Utter it to the end of the earth. Say,

  179. the Lord has redeemed his servant. Jacob. And they did

  180. not thirst when he led them through the deserts. He

  181. caused the waters to flow from the rock for them.

  182. He also split the rock and the waters gushed out.

  183. Verse 22. There is no peace, says the Lord, for

  184. the wicked. Now, why do you think this verse is here?

  185. And by the way, this didn't happen, okay? Just so

  186. you know, I'm well versed in history. And when it

  187. comes to the Babylonian exile, I'm quite the expert. And

  188. you need to know this. No, no scrap of evidence

  189. anywhere says he ever did this. when the exiles were

  190. going back from Babylon to Israel. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no.

  191. These things categorically happened coming back from Egypt. You're supposed

  192. to know that. You're supposed to have the God-giving understanding

  193. that you can see what he just said. He is

  194. promising you that if you just have the faith to

  195. step outside of Babylon, miraculous things will happen. But we

  196. don't believe in miracles anymore, do we? Actually, in most sanctuaries,

  197. if you profess miracles, they'll kick you out of the church.

  198. And they'll do it so fast your head will spin. So,

  199. why is verse 22 there? Do you know? Do you

  200. know why God uses this phraseology? God is saying peace.

  201. He's literally telling you the wicked As who is surrounding you.

  202. You will have peace. You should instinctually know. Because I

  203. have taught you so many times. You must know exactly.

  204. This is 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 23. We will

    1 Thessalonians 5:23

  205. have peace when we come out from the wicked. Now

  206. as a side note. We're going to go to the

  207. next time God says this. Now that upsets a lot

  208. of people. Yes, the Word is inspired. This was absolutely

  209. not written by Isaiah. The Holy Spirit wrote this. This

  210. is the Word. So, here... He's going to say this again.

  211. And he's going to say it again at the end

  212. of the diatribe. I'm not going to read the whole thing.

  213. But picking it up in verse 14 in Isaiah 57.

  214. And one shall say, keep it up, keep it up.

  215. Prepare the way. Take the stumbling block out of the

  216. way of my people, for thus says the High and

  217. Lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy. Let

  218. me guess, you've never heard that before. You're probably scratching

  219. your head like, what did Matthew say? Who is that?

  220. Have you ever heard a sermon on this? Or a

  221. Sunday school lesson? Here, let me answer it for you. No,

  222. you haven't. Now, this is God describing himself. Tell me,

  223. what does this have to do with time? Here, let

  224. me read it for you again. You all are confused.

  225. When you have these Bible reading programs... And you've read

  226. this how many times? How many years have you been

  227. doing these Bible reading programs? What, 22 years? That's crazy.

  228. I can reach out and touch you. And you never

  229. knew it said this because you just read over it.

  230. Because you weren't reading the Word. Were you? For thus

  231. says the high and lofty one who inhabits eternity, whose

  232. name is holy. I dwell in the high and holy

  233. place with him who has a contrite and humble spirit

  234. to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive

  235. the heart of the contrite ones. For I will not

  236. contend forever, nor will I always be angry. for the

  237. spirit would fail before me and the souls which I

  238. have made. For the iniquity of his covetousness, I was

  239. angry and struck him. I hid and was angry, and

  240. he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.

  241. I have seen his ways and will heal him. I

  242. will also lead him and restore comforts to him And

  243. to his mourners. I create the fruit of the lips. Peace. Peace.

  244. To him who is far off. And to him who

  245. is near. Says the Lord. I will heal him. But

  246. the wicked are like the troubled sea. When it cannot rest.

  247. Whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace.

  248. Says my God. For the wicked. Who you're coming out

  249. from is not who you think they are. And they're

  250. absolutely going to make martyrs out of you. Now, there

  251. was phraseology here in the Hebrew that you should know about,

  252. but I'm not going to talk about today. God's not

  253. joking with you. He's not lying. And just so you know,

  254. He's taking high offense to you paying tithe. That tithe

  255. goes to the district, and then it goes to Planned Parenthood,

  256. and you're going to reap the whirlwind. I'm just telling

  257. you to your face. Because I'm able to reach out

  258. and touch you. I'm making you emotional, aren't I? So,

  259. let's head on over to Jeremiah chapter 51, verses 6

    Jeremiah 51:6

  260. and 7. You'll notice I skipped tons of verses, didn't I?

  261. Flee from the midst of Babylon, and everyone save his life.

  262. Do not be cut off in her iniquity, for this

  263. is the time of the Lord's vengeance. He shall recompense her.

  264. Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord's hand that

  265. he made all the earth drunk. The nations drank her wine. Therefore,

  266. the nations are deranged. You're there right now. If you

  267. conduct trade on this planet, you do it in the

  268. currency of Mystery Babylon. That's a If you conduct air

  269. travel on this planet, you do so in American English.

  270. That's a fact. If you want to conduct transport, you

  271. do it in the medium which the currency of Mystery

  272. Babylon is based off of. You're in Mystery Babylon no

  273. matter where you're at on this planet. Lock, stock, and barrel.

  274. Jeremiah chapter 51, 45 and 46. My people, go out

    Jeremiah 51 chapter mention

  275. of the midst of her and let everyone deliver himself

  276. from the fierce anger of the Lord. And lest your

  277. heart faint and you fear for the rumor that will

  278. be heard in the land, a rumor will come one

  279. year and after that, in another year, a rumor will

  280. come and violence in the land. Rulers against ruler. If

  281. Jesus Christ was crucified in 30 AD, this first rumor

  282. will come And you will hear it. You will hear it.

  283. Do you understand what it means? Zachariah chapter 2 starting

  284. in verse 6. Easy stuff. Elementary stuff. Elementary stuff. It's

  285. amazing how I've taught this to my children, most of

  286. which have rejected it. Up, up, flee from the land

  287. of the north, says the Lord. For I have spread

  288. you abroad like the four winds of heaven. Do you

  289. have any idea what this is talking about? Do you

  290. have any remote inkling as to what this is talking about?

  291. Verse 7. Up, Zion.

  292. Escape.

  293. You who dwell with the daughter of Babylon. For thus

  294. says the Lord of hosts, He sent me after glory

  295. to the nations which plunder you. For he who touches

  296. you touches the apple of his eye. Isn't that interesting?

  297. Who is he here? Do you not know? Have you

  298. not heard? Or did I just confuse you even by

  299. bringing that up? Let me read that again. He sent

  300. me after glory. Okay, so the he is obviously the Lord.

  301. But who's the me? He sent me after glory to

  302. the nations which plunder you. For he who touches you

  303. touches the apple of his eye, for surely I will

  304. shake my hand against them, and they shall become spoil

  305. for their servants. Then you will know that the Lord

  306. of hosts has sent me. Sing and rejoice, O daughter

  307. of Zion, for behold, I am coming, and I will

  308. dwell in your midst, says the Lord. Many nations shall

  309. be joined to the Lord in that day, And they

  310. shall become my people, and I will dwell in their midst.

  311. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has

  312. sent me to you. And the Lord will take possession

  313. of Judah as his inheritance in the Holy Land, and

  314. will again choose Jerusalem. Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord,

  315. for he is aroused from his holy habitations. Forever and always, amen.

  316. That's the message for the day. This is a dire

  317. warning to you who are still in the four-walled churches.

  318. They're going to make martyrs out of you. They are

  319. the daughter of Babylon. You know this because they follow

  320. the very first message of their father. Did you know that?

  321. I'm probably going to say something that none of you

  322. has ever heard before. But it's the gospel truth. It

  323. really is. It's the gospel truth. It's going to make

  324. most of you mad. You know who the daughter of

  325. Babylon is because they chase after their father's first message.

  326. Do you know what that is?

  327. Let me read it to you.

  328. It's eternal security. Yeah, it's once saved, always saved. It's

  329. a sin-based salvation. This is their father's very first message.

  330. Let me say it again. If you're confused, it's eternal security.

  331. Genesis chapter 3, verse 4. Then the serpent said to

    Genesis 3:4

  332. the woman, You will not surely die. Keep on sinning.

  333. Keep on lying. Keep on cheating. Keep on fornicating. You're good.

  334. You're good. Whenever you sin, you will learn how to

  335. practice that sin. God's never going to teach you how.

  336. The Holy Spirit will never teach you how to practice sinning.

  337. This is why the paramount staple verses before the onset

  338. of the first contraction is this. Write it down. Hebrews

    Hebrews 10:26–29

  339. chapter 10, verses 26 through 29. It's paramount that you

  340. get that beforehand. That's why I'm giving you this message.

  341. Because many of you are rejecting it. Right? Verse 5,

  342. he follows it up. For God knows that in the

  343. day that you eat of it, your eyes will be opened.

  344. And you will be like God. knowing good and evil.

  345. Do you know what this Hebrew properly translates into? You

  346. don't do you. No, you don't know. You see, before

  347. this message, God's children did not know what it was

  348. like to do evil. Oh, you thought it meant have

  349. knowledge of what would happen. No. At this time, God

  350. and God alone knew evil. When you know something, you

  351. not only know what it is, you know what result

  352. it will have. So, this is the original message. You

  353. can continue sinning. You won't die. This is the religion

  354. of the daughter of Babylon. And she is going to

  355. make a martyr out of you. You know, I need

  356. to tell you this up front. No, actually, I'm not.

  357. The Spirit just said, no, I'm not to tell you that.

  358. Let me open the floor for questions. Anybody got any

  359. questions or comments or anything you want to talk about?

  360. We can talk about anything. No, really. I can literally

  361. talk about anything.

  362. Anybody?

  363. Anybody?

  364. Actually, I do have something I want to ask you

  365. about if I could.

  366. Sure, you can.

  367. So in Acts, where it talks about the seven that

  368. were appointed over the widows.

  369. Right.

  370. You have Stephen and he is like pulled out from

  371. amongst the seven in the way that it talks about

  372. him and him alone. that he is full of faith

  373. and the Holy Spirit. And then it says that he

  374. is full of power and the Holy Spirit. And so

  375. that kind of struck me as interesting. And then I

  376. looked at the other six, five of which I could

  377. only find in that reference. And I thought that was interesting.

  378. And then the only one that I could find again

  379. was Philip. And that was in Acts 21. And it

  380. mentions him again. And then, and it calls him an evangelist.

  381. And then it mentions his four daughters that prophesied. And

  382. so you have like a five and a two And

  383. a four. And that all struck me, especially when I

  384. think about where it talks about, I believe it's in Revelation,

  385. where it says that there's five that are gone, you know,

  386. in opposition. And then there are two that are left,

  387. one that is and one is yet to come. And

  388. I kind of wondered if they're an opposing reflection of

  389. each other.

  390. And what the four.

  391. Women that prophesy would represent.

  392. So Acts chapter 6, I guess, huh? Yes. Well, let

    Acts 6 chapter mention

  393. me answer this. Yes, absolutely all that's important. Absolutely. Absolutely

  394. all of it. Well, I think that my wife has

  395. said this on air before. We've never talked about this publicly.

  396. But she calls Axe a map. And she is correct

  397. in that assumption. So, this is absolutely the case because

  398. we know that, well, the dragon has seven heads, right?

  399. Right.

  400. There is no consternation. That's not what's mentioned first. What's

  401. mentioned first is, of course, the seven churches. And there

  402. is no doubt about it that each of those churches

  403. are repeatedly referred to as women. No doubt about that, right? Right.

  404. So you could take those four that are prophesying and

  405. you could directly interject them Into the verses I just

  406. read to you. That's kind of what made me ask. Because.

  407. God here says. And he says it here. Way before. Anyway.

  408. In the verses that I read. You heard God say.

  409. That you had been blown to the four winds. Yes.

  410. So you're supposed to know. This is global. And, of course,

  411. you know it is. You already know that. I've never

  412. preached about a master race, ever. So, you know, there

  413. really is African Christians. There really is, you know, German Christians.

  414. There really is. So, representative of that, you should understand this,

  415. that across the whole space of creation, In all four

  416. of these regions, there's going to be seven churches. So

  417. this is another way of him promising you that, first off, yes,

  418. there is seven different types of churches. And number two,

  419. they will all be sharing equally. No one is going

  420. to be over another. Very, very simple message. It gets

  421. really complicated in the Greek of Acts chapter 6. But

    Acts 6 chapter mention

  422. it can be seen much well. Rachel was asking me

  423. this the other day. She was sitting beside me because, well,

  424. normally when I'm doing my Bible study, I sit beside

  425. her at the table. But when I eat, I'm at

  426. the head of the table. So she stays in the

  427. same spot. So if I'm finished eating first and the

  428. spirit moves, I'm not going to wait to be excused.

  429. I will go open up the Bible and see what

  430. God's showing me, right? So there's times whenever I'm done

  431. eating first and I get up and I'll be looking

  432. at the Greek and she's like, why does that look

  433. funny to me? I said, well, it looks like an equation,

  434. doesn't it? And the top of her head just blew

  435. right off. She goes, wait a minute. All those, it's

  436. Greek symbols that they use in math. Exactamundo. Exactamundo. I said,

  437. right now, I'm looking at a chiasm. She's like, well,

  438. what is that? I said, well, it's a little hard

  439. to explain, but let's say he will use Let's say

  440. he will use spirit in verse 1. He will use

  441. body in verse 2. He will use mind in verse 3.

  442. Then he will go back and do the opposite. That's

  443. called a chiasm. You mean he'll do it, you mean

  444. it's a mirror? Yes. It gets its name chiasm from

  445. the Greek letter chi. It's an X. She goes, wait

  446. a minute. Are there any in Hebrew? Yes, it's mostly

  447. in Hebrew. But you can only see the equation from Greek. Anyway,

  448. so when I say sherry, it's very complicated in the

  449. Greek of Acts chapter 6. I'm not being facetious in

    Acts 6 chapter mention

  450. the slightest. But the Spirit has showed you something that

  451. was obviously there. Because you believed it. That's the key

  452. thing there, Sherry. You're believing something that's beyond your comprehension.

  453. So because you believed it, the Lord pointed it out

  454. to you. So I don't have to give you a

  455. whole bunch of ton of information. What I've given you

  456. It was what was needed. It was what you already saw.

  457. You already knew these things. But they had to be

  458. relayed in very simple information. And the problem is they

  459. were relayed to you by actual events. So those actual

  460. events happened so that you could get the information. Of course,

  461. this ties into that title. That God gave himself... Earlier...

  462. I read it to you.

  463. So... Yes... The most important Bible study... That you could do...

  464. Here before the birth pangs... And while the birth pangs

  465. are ensuing... Is the book of Acts... You need to... Reject...

  466. All the traditions of men.

  467. That's what the church is based off of. It is

  468. nowhere even remotely based on the word. It's based off

  469. their traditions, the people running your church, your denomination. So,

  470. that being said, there you have it. Anybody else got

  471. any questions or comments?

  472. Wow.

  473. Why did somebody, Here. Let me rephrase that again.

  474. Okay?

  475. Somebody didn't understand it and the Lord told me.

  476. Okay?

  477. This is why the dragon has seven heads. It's because

  478. you're supposed to see that God has seven and the

  479. The devil's seven is in opposition to it. That's why

  480. Satan put together this dragon, was to take out the bride.

  481. I mean, you've been told that. Well, I guess you

  482. haven't been told that. But anyway, the Lord wanted me

  483. to say that, so I did. Anybody else? Questions or comments?

  484. All right. Going once. Going twice. Third time's a charm.

  485. All right, everybody. God bless. Godspeed.
