  1. I love these lunchtime live streams. I hope you do

  2. as well. So today I got a very good question

  3. for everybody. How quickly, how quickly will it happen? How

  4. quickly will things change? So God bless everybody. Matthew Miller

  5. here from Maranatha Ministries. So I have loudly proclaimed since

  6. February the 9th, 2024, that I had hoped we were

  7. in the birth pangs. I made it very public that

  8. if that being the case, the 1,290 day slash 1335

  9. count from Daniel chapter 12 would begin October the 1st, 2026.

    Daniel 12 chapter mention

  10. We're into this several days now. Several days. This is

  11. the 8th of October and nothing's happened. So, How soon

  12. am I going to call it off that, no, he

  13. must have been crucified in 33 instead of 30 AD? Well,

  14. I would have expected it to happen fairly quickly. I

  15. would have already expected something to happen, especially with war.

  16. Everybody's poised in the Middle East. I mean, everybody just

  17. needs to launch weapons. I mean, everything is as tightly

  18. wound as it can get. I mean, we've already had

  19. massive interchanges between You know, well, all the players. Everything

  20. is on the board right now for World War III

  21. to just trigger. I mean, it technically should have triggered

  22. when we invaded a foreign country, kidnapped their president and

  23. the first lady. That should have triggered World War right there.

  24. And that should have triggered the BRICS nations engaging. But

  25. of course they didn't. So let's take a look here.

  26. at just exactly this window of opportunity because remember, this

  27. is all predicated on the four spirits of heaven stirring

  28. things up. So from Ezekiel chapter 37, we will pick

    Ezekiel 37 chapter mention

  29. it up in verse six, excuse me. I will put

  30. sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you

  31. with skin and put breath in you and you shall

  32. live forever. then you shall know that I am the Lord.

  33. So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied,

  34. there was a noise and suddenly a rattling and the

  35. bones came together bone to bone. Indeed, as I looked,

  36. the snooze of the flesh came upon them and the

  37. skin covered them over, but there was no breath in them.

  38. So he said to me, prophesy to the breath, prophesy

  39. son of man and say to the breath, thus says

  40. the Lord God, come from the four winds, oh breath

  41. and breathe on these slain that they might live. So

  42. I prophesied as he commanded me and breath came into

  43. them and they lived and stood upon their feet and

  44. exceedingly great army. I expect it to happen quickly. I

  45. expect it to happen quickly, especially with the first seal.

  46. The first seal in Matthew chapter 24, the Lord Jesus

    Matthew 24 chapter mention

  47. Christ describes that as false Christ. The one on the

  48. white rider is false Christ. Believe me, if somebody started

  49. performing miracles, we all would have already heard about it

  50. by now. Eight days in, we'd already heard about it.

  51. Because You know, there's no miracles being performed now. I mean, people. Oh,

  52. more than one. Many people all of a sudden granted

  53. miraculous powers out in public, out in broad daylight, not inside,

  54. you know, this, that, and the other. I mean, in

  55. your face, you will hear about it. You will hear

  56. about it. It'll be all over everywhere. Okay. I'm literally

  57. in every little town. You'll have it happening. And I

  58. would have expected seven days in. We already would have

  59. heard it. We already would have. Add the evidence. And

  60. this is the eighth day. So this is the second week.

  61. Into the four spirits of heaven stirring. And nothing's happened. So.

  62. I mean, I expect I'll wait a little while longer.

  63. I'll probably wait 21 days. If nothing happens within 21 days,

  64. then I am going to say, no, he was probably

  65. crucified in 33 AD, so we've got three years to wait.

  66. This will bump out all the timelines. Three years, it

  67. just will. So, That's how quickly I expect it to happen,

  68. just like it happened with Ezekiel. Literally, as he was speaking,

  69. they started coming together, and it made a noise when

  70. it did so. So it got your attention. We can

  71. also go to the instance where at the same exact time,

  72. the four beasts correlate from Daniel. Let's go and check

  73. that out. starting in verse two of Daniel chapter seven.

  74. Daniel spoke saying, I saw in my vision by night

  75. and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up

  76. the sea and four great beasts come up from the sea,

  77. each different from another. The first was like a lion

  78. and had eagle's wings. I watched as its wings were

  79. plucked off and it was lifted up from the earth

  80. and made to stand on two feet like a man

  81. and an eagle's heart was given to it. Let's just

  82. take this first one. It seems like to me, verse

  83. four didn't take seven days. You weren't expecting me to

  84. say that. Let's consider how long this, I mean, does

  85. this verse take two, you know, three weeks? Does this

  86. verse take two years? Just listen. The first was like

  87. a lion and had eagle's wings. I watched till its

  88. wings were plucked off and it was lifted from the

  89. earth and made to stand on two feet like a

  90. man and a man's heart was given to it. It

  91. sounds like to me, this is one single moment in time.

  92. I mean, it doesn't say that it had eagle's wings and,

  93. you know, the wings were plucked off and it staggered around.

  94. It went to sleep. Two years go by. No, that's

  95. not how this is being relayed verbally. It's being relayed to,

  96. this happened all in one motion. Let's try the second.

  97. And suddenly, another beast, a second like a bear. It

  98. was raised up on one side and had three ribs

  99. in its mouth, between its teeth. And they said, thus

  100. to it arise devour much flesh. Nothing happened with the

  101. second beast, the bear. He describes it. This beast is

  102. humped up on one side. It's got three ribs in

  103. its mouth. And the three ribs tell the bear to

  104. arise and devour much flesh. This doesn't take any time.

  105. The only time here given is the time between the

  106. three ribs in its mouth that says arise and eat

  107. much flesh and it doing so. So verse six, after

  108. this I looked and there was another like a leopard

  109. which had on its back four wings of a bird.

  110. The beast also had four heads and dominion was given

  111. to it. I mean, it's stating dominion was given to

  112. it is instantaneous. It's not a process. This leopard is

  113. given dominion instantaneously. It has dominion. It is given dominion. Okay,

  114. after this I saw in the night visions and behold

  115. a fourth beast dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had

  116. huge iron teeth. It was devouring, breaking in pieces and

  117. trampling the residue with his feet. It was different from

  118. all the beasts that were before it and it had

  119. 10 horns. So this obviously didn't take no time. As

  120. it was being watched, it was devouring and trampling. This

  121. didn't take... This happened instantly. It literally hit the ground running.

  122. I say that again. The beast was stirred up from

  123. the sea, but this beast hit the ground running. It

  124. was trampling as it went. This is instantaneous. I was

  125. considering the horns and there was another horn, a little

  126. one coming up from among them. before whom three of

  127. the first horns were plucked out by the roots. Now

  128. this is taking some time. So there's a time integer here.

  129. This is the only real time integer that we've seen.

  130. You see 10 horns and then after a period of time,

  131. you see the little horn and it uproots three of

  132. the first horns by the roots. And there in this

  133. horn were eyes like the eyes of a man and

  134. a mouth speaking pompous words. I expect that on day

  135. one of the 1,290 day count, we're going to get

  136. this show on the road. On day one, this bear

  137. starts killing people. On day one, on day one, the

  138. leopard has its wings plucked. Or the Lions. Oop, I

  139. said that wrong, didn't I? Let me go back up here.

  140. The lion has its wings plucked. Day one. Day one.

  141. So these things happen simultaneously. What happens later after a

  142. period of time is this little horn rises up and

  143. uproots three of the first horns, three of the ends.

  144. It takes time. All this, I mean, look, we have

  145. all the players in place. The U.S. military has aircraft

  146. carriers on station. We could obliterate Iran right now. I mean,

  147. I would have expected that on the first or on

  148. the second, you know, they could have been coordinating things,

  149. but on the day three, there would have been massive

  150. attacks launched. I would expect it on day one, on

  151. October the 1st. I would expect it from that day

  152. to hear rumors of miracles being performed by people. By three,

  153. I would have had names, dates. I would have literally

  154. had who, what, where, when, why the miracles had happened. Nothing.

  155. I've heard nothing. Nothing after the first week. I don't

  156. think you understand what the word is talking about. When

  157. God the Father gives the word and these four spirits

  158. of heaven stir everything up, it's going to be bang.

  159. It's going to happen. So we're eight days into this thing.

  160. I'm saying even now it's highly unlikely. I mean, and

  161. I myself have not, I'm not experiencing anything myself with

  162. the spirit. I would already expect it to happen as

  163. quickly as it did in the upper room. Don't mess around.

  164. It's going to get straight to the point. So I

  165. guess that's a real question. I guess how long did

  166. they hang around in the upper room on the day

  167. of Pentecost? Did it happen as soon as the sun

  168. come up? Did it yada, yada, yada, yada, yada? How

  169. long did they wait? Thanks for sure. They didn't wait

  170. more than 24 hours. Right? Right. So if you've been

  171. born again, have you felt the spirit stirring in you

  172. in power? Any of you? Any of you? Has any

  173. of you have had the feeling of the spirit stirring?

  174. Because I have not. I've not. Ain't felt nothing. So

  175. this is eight days in. I don't think so. So,

  176. I mean, I probably will. hold at the outer marker

  177. until three weeks is up. But if after three weeks

  178. we're not in World War III, and I mean bombs everywhere,

  179. missiles being fired, I mean ships being sunk. We need

  180. to hear about ships being sunk, warships being put at

  181. the bottom of the ocean. Then you'll know. So I

  182. would also expect massive cyber warfare. I mean, I would

  183. expect massive, massive financial institution warfare. I mean, come on, people.

  184. The Germans, the Chinese, look, everybody knows how to hack.

  185. Everybody's hacker. I mean, they would have shut down the

  186. banking system by now. I mean, if you don't think

  187. the Israelis can do it, you're just flat naive. You're

  188. just flat naive. Oh, yes, they can shut down our

  189. banking system. It's just ones and zeros, baby. And you

  190. can misplace those ones and zeros very easily. So, how

  191. quickly will it begin? That's the question you need to

  192. ask yourself. Read Ezekiel 37. Does it seem like it

  193. takes two weeks for the dry bones to come together?

  194. That's not how it reads. Read of the four beasts.

  195. when the four spirits of heaven, and remember, in Hebrews,

  196. it's the same thing, the four ruach, same thing. It

  197. happens at the same exact time. The four spirits of

  198. heaven come here. Once they come here to earth, no

  199. time limit is required. So the only thing that does

  200. take time is after all this carnage begins, after the

  201. period of time, which we don't know, this little horn

  202. uproots three of the ten horns, We don't know what

  203. that timeframe is, but that's the only thing that takes

  204. time in this equation. Oh, are you getting apocalypse fatigue? Me,

  205. I'm about, I mean, I'm done kind of upset. I mean, well,

  206. for one, I don't have any retirement waiting for me.

  207. I don't have no retirement. I've always been below the

  208. poverty level. I don't have no retirement saved up, so.

  209. I got no cocks in this fight. I don't own

  210. a rooster. I can't afford to bet on a rooster,

  211. so I don't, you know, I don't have anything in

  212. this fight. So anyway, that's what I think. As disappointing

  213. as it is, For all of you that are members

  214. of Maranatha Ministries, I know that's disappointing, but spirit's not

  215. gonna take no time to get this show on.
