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

  2. Study with Matthew and Rachel. This is a very prophetic chapter,

  3. right from the get-go, that involves Bible prophecy.

  4. So, a.

  5. Lot of people probably don't know that. They probably read

  6. this like it's a little golden book and just breeze

  7. right through it.

  8. It would be, it's an interesting little golden book. I mean,

  9. it is an interesting story. It's stand-alone, you know, if

  10. you take it.

  11. As it reads. Yes. Yes, if you take it as

  12. it reads, it's pretty interesting. One of the very infamous

  13. things here. Boy, this one chapter kind of changes everything.

  14. I mean, you know, Saul was bad, but not this bad.

  15. He goes from bad to evil.

  16. This is when the.

  17. This is when the root... What's spoken of is very

  18. prophetic here in another way. It says that he's by

  19. this tree. And when you know the prophecy involved here,

  20. David is the root of the good tree, right? And

  21. all life comes from that tree. Here, prophetically, you're.

  22. We'll wait until we get to that.

  23. Right. I mean, it's right in the opening verses.

  24. And not to mention the fact that Abraham was under

  25. a tree too.

  26. Yes. Yes.

  27. When he was given the promise.

  28. Exactly. And that is exactly what this... This is like

  29. the anti... The anti-promise. Is this my show or yours?

  30. You're exactly correct. The problem is, how many of the

  31. people listening or watching know any of this? And yet

  32. they purport to be end-time Bible prophecy experts, right? So,

  33. would you say that's... Okay, let's.

  34. Not be mean to people who are potentially watching.

  35. I'm not trying to be mean to people. I'm just

  36. giving you the heads up.

  37. All right.

  38. If we talk about things you've never heard before, that

  39. shouldn't surprise you. So anyway, so let's get to the text,

  40. shall we? But in verse 1 is Bible prophecy. So anyway,

  41. read to your heart's desire, BibleKicks.

  42. David therefore departed from there and escaped to the cave

  43. of Adullam. So when his brothers and all his father's

  44. house heard of it, they went down there to him.

  45. And everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt,

  46. and everyone who was discontented gathered to him. So he

  47. became captain over them. And there were about 400 men

  48. with him. Now, this is... This reminds me of that

  49. verse in the, well, you never watched the cantata of

  50. the Messiah, but the part of it was, all you

  51. who are weary, come to me.

  52. Yes. And all of that. And so.

  53. Yes.

  54. Yes.

  55. That reminds me of that. Do you have that pulled

  56. up on your screen, that verse?

  57. Nope, I don't. You can get it, though. I could

  58. get it if I wanted to.

  59. You don't want to?

  60. I don't want to.

  61. So it reminds me of Jesus, though, anyway. Yes, it

  62. reminds me of Jesus.

  63. Absolutely. So what do you make of the cave of Adon?

  64. Did you know that's pure Bible prophecy?

  65. Well, I know that, you know, when people go and

  66. hide in the caves and stuff, the rich and the

  67. poor go and hide in the caves. But this is

  68. basically just the poor. This is just the poor.

  69. Well.

  70. This is not the rich people.

  71. Read Micah chapter 1, verse 15. Micah.

    Micah 1:15

  72. I will yet bring an heir to you, O inhabitant of.

  73. Marashah.

  74. The glory of Israel shall come to Adullam.

  75. Yep. So, now it's really important. Read the next verse.

  76. Read verse 16.

  77. Make yourself bald and cut off your hair because of

  78. And for precious children, enlarge your baldness like an eagle,

  79. for they shall go from you into captivity.

  80. So anyway, this is highly instructive in Bible prophecy, if

  81. you know anything about this. But anyway, we talked about

  82. this group in the last show, too. Moshaim, yes, God

  83. is going to take them. Yes, yes, he is. This

  84. is Operation Eagle's Wings. Yes, he really is going to

  85. take them to heaven.

  86. But it's saying that they're going into captivity. That's not

  87. really captivity.

  88. That's kind of like... Yeah, that is captivity. He's taking

  89. them from their mothers. Yeah, he's taking them.

  90. But they're going to be happy because they'll be with Jesus.

  91. They're still going to be captive. Because they won't be sad. Right.

  92. So anyway, this is all tied to Adullam here. But

  93. people don't realize that this is one of the key

  94. things with the future false messiah of the Judaists. They're

  95. expecting these events to happen. There's been some archaeological digs

  96. done here, but anyway, for some rhyme or reason, They're

  97. expecting the Messiah to go to Adalim, and this is why. Okay.

  98. Because of David and because of this verse.

  99. Yes, because of this prophecy. So another thing of extreme

  100. importance here is, well, what's your thoughts? This is also

  101. the beginning of, of course, David's mighty men. Yeah. Right.

  102. Yeah, so.

  103. I didn't see anything else.

  104. Okay.

  105. Read on then.

  106. Then David went from there to Mizpah of Moab. And

  107. he said to the king of Moab, Please let my

  108. father and mother come here with you till I know

  109. what God will do for me. So he brought them

  110. before the king of Moab. and they dwelt with him

  111. in the time that David was in the stronghold. Now

  112. the prophet Gad said to David, Do not stay in

  113. the stronghold. Depart and go to the land of Judah.

  114. So David departed and went into the forest of Herod.

  115. So God directly intervenes here with The prophet dad. So

  116. what is about to happen is being triggered by.

  117. Moab is that. Moab is where Ruth came from.

  118. Yes.

  119. Is that why he went there? Because that would have been.

  120. Yes. His great grandmother. Yes. Yes. Yes. And again. Yes.

  121. Yes.

  122. Moab is directly tied in with Bible prophecy. Yes. So,

  123. also they were across the Jordan, they were neighbors. Of course,

  124. Moab and Ammon were the sons of Lot by his daughters.

  125. So anyway, all kinds of Bible prophecy wrapped up with Moab.

  126. But literally speaking, Moab means from the father. Prophetically, this

  127. is talking about angels. Amun, the brother, has just the opposite.

  128. That means from the tribes. So Moab means of the

  129. families of heaven. And Amun is talking about the families

  130. on earth.

  131. Okay, so if we're talking about end time prophecy, this

  132. is the octogenarians. Right? Right.

  133. Okay, I haven't heard octogenarian in decades. This ties in

  134. directly with the prophecy of the promise that people over

  135. 80 years old would not suffer these things.

  136. Right.

  137. Where did you get octogenarian from? I did not tell

  138. you this. No, no, I didn't. I.

  139. I read Regency novels.

  140. What's that got to do with the price of beans

  141. in China? What's a Regency novel?

  142. It's a time period where people use that term.

  143. Octogenarian?

  144. Yeah.

  145. The spirit has a strange way of moving. So Regency novels.

  146. So which series of novels are you reading that has this?

  147. Sarah Eden is the author. Somebody posted a question. I

  148. just saw it out of the corner of my eye. Okay.

  149. So love that word octogenarian, LOL, from Jenny. So you've

  150. been of late reading these novels about finding Persephone. That's

  151. what you're talking about? Yeah. Why would they use the

  152. term octogenarian? I don't know.

  153. It seemed like, for whatever reason, it was a common term.

  154. It was a common term. But anyway, like I said,

  155. this is according to the promise. God has.

  156. And.

  157. The reason why is this. Because... Okay, have you ever

  158. heard any end-time Bible prophecy talking about, well, why did

  159. David send his parents to Moab? You've never heard anybody

  160. talk about that, right? But yes, this is.

  161. Because they were older, and if they got attacked by

  162. King Saul, they wouldn't be able to run or whatever.

  163. They wouldn't be able to endure, you know.

  164. Seeing killed it would be hard on them.

  165. Emotionally yes they did that so wow this is turning

  166. to a whopper you just took me by complete surprise there.

  167. So then the stronghold is obviously that place that's being

  168. prepared for.

  169. Us yes it is as a matter of fact It's

  170. probably going to be prepared because of what David did.

  171. So now, for whatever reason, we're going to leave the

  172. stronghold for a while and go into some kind of forest?

  173. We have to flee to the wilderness. And it's from

  174. that flight that the angels take us to the pledge prepared. Yeah. Yes,

  175. that's what happens. All right. All right. Keep reading.

  176. When Saul heard that David and the men who were

  177. with him had been discovered, now Saul was staying in

  178. Gebeah under a tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear

  179. in his hand and all his servants standing about him.

  180. Then Saul said to his servants who stood about him,

  181. Here now, you Benjamites, will the son of Jesse give in?

  182. Every one of.

  183. You fields and vineyards and make you all captains of

  184. thousands and captains of hundreds.

  185. Stop right there. This is fulfilling the prophecy that he

  186. would divide the land for gain. This is where that prophecy,

  187. this is why that prophecy is given.

  188. So I got curious when I read this. So I

  189. was like, what's a tamarisk tree? Because it reminded me

  190. of when Abraham was under the oak tree. Right.

  191. It was an oak tree.

  192. But it just reminded me of it, so I wanted

  193. to look it up. And what it came up as

  194. is also known as a salt cedar, which is illegal

  195. in North Dakota.

  196. And you can be.

  197. Fined if you have one in your yard because it

  198. contaminates the soil around it and kills everything else.

  199. The opposite of the root of Jesse.

  200. Can literally destroy a half an acre of land to

  201. where nothing can be planted.

  202. Nothing can ever. Yes. Nothing can ever be planted there again.

  203. And so basically it's a, it's a tree that's toxic.

  204. And when I looked it up, it's actually a pretty

  205. beautiful tree.

  206. Because it puts on the color of Christ. What does

  207. it put on? What, what color is the flowers?

  208. Purple.

  209. Purple. They're purple. It clothes itself in the color of Christ. So, anyway. Wow,

  210. I never expected to go into there, but yeah. This

  211. is first mentioned with the promise. Because Abraham planted one

  212. of these in Beersheba, and there called on the name

  213. of the Lord, the everlasting God.

  214. Oh.

  215. So this is an inversion to the promise. This is

  216. an inversion to the promise. Which also ties into Abimelech,

  217. which is just all kinds of Bible prophecy. If you

  218. know these things, you know what's going to You don't

  219. think you know. You actually know. You know it's coming.

  220. So anyway, back to 2 Samuel chapter 22. So pick

    2 Samuel 22 chapter mention

  221. it up in verse 8. You stopped at verse 8.

  222. All of you have conspired against me, and there is

  223. no one who reveals to me that my son has

  224. made a covenant with the son of Jesse. And there

  225. is not one of you who is sorry for me

  226. or reveals to me that my son has stirred up

  227. my servants against me to lie in wait as it

  228. is this day. Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who was

  229. sent over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw

  230. the son of Jesse going to Nob, to Ahimelech the

  231. son of Ahitug, And he inquired of the Lord for him,

  232. gave him provisions, and gave him the sword of Goliath

  233. the Philistine. So the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest,

  234. the son of Ahithob, and all his father's house, the

  235. priests who were in Naam. And they all came to

  236. the king, and Saul said, Here now, son of Ahithob.

  237. He answered, Here I am, my lord. Then Saul said

  238. to him, Why have you conspired against me, you and

  239. the son of Jesse, in that you have given him

  240. bread and a sword and have inquired of God for

  241. him that he should rise against me to lie in

  242. wait as it is this day? So Ahimelech answered the

  243. king and said, Who among all your servants is as

  244. faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law? who goes

  245. at your bidding and is honorable in your house. Did

  246. I then begin to acquire of God for him? Far

  247. be it from me. Let not the king impute anything

  248. to his servant or to any in the house of

  249. my father, for your servant knew nothing of all this

  250. little or much. And the king said, You shall surely die, Ahimelech,

  251. you and all your father's house. Then the king said

  252. to the guards who stood about him, Turn and kill

  253. the priests of the Lord, because their hand also is

  254. with David, and because they knew when he fled and

  255. did not tell it to me. But the servants of

  256. the king would not lift their hands to strike the

  257. priests of the Lord. And the king said to Doeg,

  258. you turn and kill the priests. So Doag, the Edomite,

  259. turned and struck the priests and killed on that day

  260. 85 men who wore a linen ephod. Also Nob, the

  261. city of priests, he struck with the edge of the

  262. sword both men and women, children and nursing infants, oxen

  263. and donkeys and sheep with the edge of the sword.

  264. So that So when I read that, I was like,

  265. that to me, I felt like that was an in

  266. your face to God. Because God said, because he did

  267. not kill all of them in whatever battle that where

  268. he took the kingship from Saul. I feel like that

  269. that was an in your face to God when he

  270. did that.

  271. Doubly so in the simple fact that Deuteronomy chapter 24

    Deuteronomy 24:16

  272. verse 16 fathers shall not be put to death for

  273. their children nor shall children be put to death for

  274. their fathers a person shall be put to death for

  275. his own sin so doubly so Saul was making doubly

  276. sure that God knew he was at war against him.

  277. So make no mistakes about it. This is all tied

  278. up with the two numbered groups in entire Bible prophecy.

  279. Here the priest of Nob are a prophetic future shadow

  280. of the Talulim. Those that are going to be marked

  281. for death in Revelation chapter 7, verse 4.

    Revelation 7:4

  282. Even though this is 85, and that's 144,000.

  283. Uh-huh. And there's a reason for that. There's a reason

  284. for that integer. And yes, I could get into the

  285. alphanumerics just of that verse right now, and I'm not

  286. going to. That's way too much information overload.

  287. Okay.

  288. But people need to realize this is why Aaron, in

  289. private discussions, he believes that the Talulim are actually these

  290. born-again clergy He actually thinks they're the fathers of the Mosheim.

  291. He thinks they're actually their fathers, and this is why.

  292. This is why. And that's the first time I've ever

  293. talked about that publicly with Aaron. I didn't discuss that

  294. with him on air. But anyway, I mean, if I

  295. was to start a study right now just on alphanumerics

  296. and begin to teach you how to see the alphanumerics...

  297. It really does make you wonder because these babies, the

  298. angels don't come after them for any reason other than

  299. they must be miraculous conceptions. They must be. That's how

  300. the angels know and come to kill them. This is

  301. what the word says in Revelation chapter 12. That's why

    Revelation 12 chapter mention

  302. the war in heaven happens is over these children. That's

  303. what Daniel chapter 12 verse 1 says. And it really,

    Daniel 12:1

  304. I mean, It's not what it comes out and says,

  305. but boy, that would make sense. That would really make sense.

  306. According to the priest of Nob, according to Ezekiel chapter 9,

    Ezekiel 9 chapter mention

  307. Revelation chapter 7. Anyway, I could go on and on

    Revelation 7 chapter mention

  308. and on. But yes, you can tell by what he

  309. does here at verse 19. This is the very reason

  310. that God was mad with him because he didn't do this, right?

  311. So he does it against the priest of God instead

  312. of God's enemies. So this is this is over the

  313. top Antichrist in every way, shape and form from top

  314. to bottom. So anyway, yeah, from top to bottom, this

  315. is just. This is dastardly.

  316. This is to the point. This is where Saul turns evil.

  317. He goes from being bad and disobedient and rebellious to

  318. being outright wicked.

  319. And just so you know, prophetically, what is going to

  320. happen in the future, during the great apostasy, this is

  321. why the angels have to get involved, exactly for the

  322. reason why Saul's soldiers would not kill. these you can

  323. know that's why um these apostate clergy they won't go

  324. after these pregnant women that's a line they won't cross

  325. anyway that's why the war in heaven is triggered it's

  326. formulated it's based around the events we just we just

  327. read so the final verses here Are you going to

  328. read these final four verses or not? You want to

  329. elaborate more? No, I think that's good. Okay, go. Last

  330. four verses.

  331. Now one of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahithoph,

  332. named Abiathar, escaped and fled after David. And Abiathar told

  333. David that Saul had killed the Lord's priests. So David

  334. said to Abiathar, I knew that day when I saw Doeg,

  335. that Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul,

  336. I have caused the death of all the persons of

  337. your father's house. Stay with me.

  338. Do not fear.

  339. For he who seeks my life seeks your life. But

  340. with me, you shall be safe. So what's the Bible

  341. prophecy with that?

  342. Well, for one, somebody had to know, right? This is

  343. how David got the information, no doubt about it. But

  344. also the promises endure, right? The promises have to endure.

  345. And this is that hint that not all of them

  346. will be exterminated, right? And they will live. Now, he's

  347. also mentioned again in 1 Kings chapter 2, verse 26.

    1 Kings 2:26

  348. So we'll read there. And to Abathar, the priest, the

  349. king said, Now go to Anathoth to your own fields,

  350. for you are deserving of death. But I will not

  351. put you to death at this time, because you carried

  352. the ark of the Lord God before my father David,

  353. and because you were afflicted every time my father was afflicted.

  354. So Solomon removed Abathar from being priest of the Lord,

  355. so that he might fulfill the word of the Lord,

  356. which is spoken concerning the house of Eli at Shiloh. So,

  357. then came news to Joab, for Joab had defected to Adoniah,

  358. though he had not defected to Absalom. This is yada, yada, yada.

  359. This is part of the Absalom rebellion. So, You can

  360. translate this, this is also going to happen in the wilderness.

  361. This rebellion is going to happen. It is coming. Thus

  362. saith the word in Revelation chapter 12. This rebellion from

    Revelation 12 chapter mention

  363. Satan is going to happen in the wilderness. So, wow.

  364. All kinds of Bible prophecy on this. Good stuff. So,

  365. I mean, it's pretty simple when you know the timeline.

  366. It's literally structured off these verses. Brethren, always amen.

  367. All right.

  368. Any questions or comments from anybody? I don't see anything

  369. in the chat room. All right. Any questions or comments?

  370. Going once. Going twice. Third time's a charm. All right, everybody.

  371. With that being said, until next time, everybody, God bless. Godspeed.
