I love these lunchtime live streams. I hope you do
-
as well. So today I got a very good question
-
for everybody. How quickly, how quickly will it happen? How
-
quickly will things change? So God bless everybody. Matthew Miller
-
here from Maranatha Ministries. So I have loudly proclaimed since
-
February the 9th, 2024, that I had hoped we were
-
in the birth pangs. I made it very public that
-
if that being the case, the 1,290 day slash 1335
-
count from Daniel chapter 12 would begin October the 1st, 2026.
Daniel 12 chapter mention
-
We're into this several days now. Several days. This is
-
the 8th of October and nothing's happened. So, How soon
-
am I going to call it off that, no, he
-
must have been crucified in 33 instead of 30 AD? Well,
-
I would have expected it to happen fairly quickly. I
-
would have already expected something to happen, especially with war.
-
Everybody's poised in the Middle East. I mean, everybody just
-
needs to launch weapons. I mean, everything is as tightly
-
wound as it can get. I mean, we've already had
-
massive interchanges between You know, well, all the players. Everything
-
is on the board right now for World War III
-
to just trigger. I mean, it technically should have triggered
-
when we invaded a foreign country, kidnapped their president and
-
the first lady. That should have triggered World War right there.
-
And that should have triggered the BRICS nations engaging. But
-
of course they didn't. So let's take a look here.
-
at just exactly this window of opportunity because remember, this
-
is all predicated on the four spirits of heaven stirring
-
things up. So from Ezekiel chapter 37, we will pick
Ezekiel 37 chapter mention
-
it up in verse six, excuse me. I will put
-
sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you
-
with skin and put breath in you and you shall
-
live forever. then you shall know that I am the Lord.
-
So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied,
-
there was a noise and suddenly a rattling and the
-
bones came together bone to bone. Indeed, as I looked,
-
the snooze of the flesh came upon them and the
-
skin covered them over, but there was no breath in them.
-
So he said to me, prophesy to the breath, prophesy
-
son of man and say to the breath, thus says
-
the Lord God, come from the four winds, oh breath
-
and breathe on these slain that they might live. So
-
I prophesied as he commanded me and breath came into
-
them and they lived and stood upon their feet and
-
exceedingly great army. I expect it to happen quickly. I
-
expect it to happen quickly, especially with the first seal.
-
The first seal in Matthew chapter 24, the Lord Jesus
Matthew 24 chapter mention
-
Christ describes that as false Christ. The one on the
-
white rider is false Christ. Believe me, if somebody started
-
performing miracles, we all would have already heard about it
-
by now. Eight days in, we'd already heard about it.
-
Because You know, there's no miracles being performed now. I mean, people. Oh,
-
more than one. Many people all of a sudden granted
-
miraculous powers out in public, out in broad daylight, not inside,
-
you know, this, that, and the other. I mean, in
-
your face, you will hear about it. You will hear
-
about it. It'll be all over everywhere. Okay. I'm literally
-
in every little town. You'll have it happening. And I
-
would have expected seven days in. We already would have
-
heard it. We already would have. Add the evidence. And
-
this is the eighth day. So this is the second week.
-
Into the four spirits of heaven stirring. And nothing's happened. So.
-
I mean, I expect I'll wait a little while longer.
-
I'll probably wait 21 days. If nothing happens within 21 days,
-
then I am going to say, no, he was probably
-
crucified in 33 AD, so we've got three years to wait.
-
This will bump out all the timelines. Three years, it
-
just will. So, That's how quickly I expect it to happen,
-
just like it happened with Ezekiel. Literally, as he was speaking,
-
they started coming together, and it made a noise when
-
it did so. So it got your attention. We can
-
also go to the instance where at the same exact time,
-
the four beasts correlate from Daniel. Let's go and check
-
that out. starting in verse two of Daniel chapter seven.
-
Daniel spoke saying, I saw in my vision by night
-
and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up
-
the sea and four great beasts come up from the sea,
-
each different from another. The first was like a lion
-
and had eagle's wings. I watched as its wings were
-
plucked off and it was lifted up from the earth
-
and made to stand on two feet like a man
-
and an eagle's heart was given to it. Let's just
-
take this first one. It seems like to me, verse
-
four didn't take seven days. You weren't expecting me to
-
say that. Let's consider how long this, I mean, does
-
this verse take two, you know, three weeks? Does this
-
verse take two years? Just listen. The first was like
-
a lion and had eagle's wings. I watched till its
-
wings were plucked off and it was lifted from the
-
earth and made to stand on two feet like a
-
man and a man's heart was given to it. It
-
sounds like to me, this is one single moment in time.
-
I mean, it doesn't say that it had eagle's wings and,
-
you know, the wings were plucked off and it staggered around.
-
It went to sleep. Two years go by. No, that's
-
not how this is being relayed verbally. It's being relayed to,
-
this happened all in one motion. Let's try the second.
-
And suddenly, another beast, a second like a bear. It
-
was raised up on one side and had three ribs
-
in its mouth, between its teeth. And they said, thus
-
to it arise devour much flesh. Nothing happened with the
-
second beast, the bear. He describes it. This beast is
-
humped up on one side. It's got three ribs in
-
its mouth. And the three ribs tell the bear to
-
arise and devour much flesh. This doesn't take any time.
-
The only time here given is the time between the
-
three ribs in its mouth that says arise and eat
-
much flesh and it doing so. So verse six, after
-
this I looked and there was another like a leopard
-
which had on its back four wings of a bird.
-
The beast also had four heads and dominion was given
-
to it. I mean, it's stating dominion was given to
-
it is instantaneous. It's not a process. This leopard is
-
given dominion instantaneously. It has dominion. It is given dominion. Okay,
-
after this I saw in the night visions and behold
-
a fourth beast dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had
-
huge iron teeth. It was devouring, breaking in pieces and
-
trampling the residue with his feet. It was different from
-
all the beasts that were before it and it had
-
10 horns. So this obviously didn't take no time. As
-
it was being watched, it was devouring and trampling. This
-
didn't take... This happened instantly. It literally hit the ground running.
-
I say that again. The beast was stirred up from
-
the sea, but this beast hit the ground running. It
-
was trampling as it went. This is instantaneous. I was
-
considering the horns and there was another horn, a little
-
one coming up from among them. before whom three of
-
the first horns were plucked out by the roots. Now
-
this is taking some time. So there's a time integer here.
-
This is the only real time integer that we've seen.
-
You see 10 horns and then after a period of time,
-
you see the little horn and it uproots three of
-
the first horns by the roots. And there in this
-
horn were eyes like the eyes of a man and
-
a mouth speaking pompous words. I expect that on day
-
one of the 1,290 day count, we're going to get
-
this show on the road. On day one, this bear
-
starts killing people. On day one, on day one, the
-
leopard has its wings plucked. Or the Lions. Oop, I
-
said that wrong, didn't I? Let me go back up here.
-
The lion has its wings plucked. Day one. Day one.
-
So these things happen simultaneously. What happens later after a
-
period of time is this little horn rises up and
-
uproots three of the first horns, three of the ends.
-
It takes time. All this, I mean, look, we have
-
all the players in place. The U.S. military has aircraft
-
carriers on station. We could obliterate Iran right now. I mean,
-
I would have expected that on the first or on
-
the second, you know, they could have been coordinating things,
-
but on the day three, there would have been massive
-
attacks launched. I would expect it on day one, on
-
October the 1st. I would expect it from that day
-
to hear rumors of miracles being performed by people. By three,
-
I would have had names, dates. I would have literally
-
had who, what, where, when, why the miracles had happened. Nothing.
-
I've heard nothing. Nothing after the first week. I don't
-
think you understand what the word is talking about. When
-
God the Father gives the word and these four spirits
-
of heaven stir everything up, it's going to be bang.
-
It's going to happen. So we're eight days into this thing.
-
I'm saying even now it's highly unlikely. I mean, and
-
I myself have not, I'm not experiencing anything myself with
-
the spirit. I would already expect it to happen as
-
quickly as it did in the upper room. Don't mess around.
-
It's going to get straight to the point. So I
-
guess that's a real question. I guess how long did
-
they hang around in the upper room on the day
-
of Pentecost? Did it happen as soon as the sun
-
come up? Did it yada, yada, yada, yada, yada? How
-
long did they wait? Thanks for sure. They didn't wait
-
more than 24 hours. Right? Right. So if you've been
-
born again, have you felt the spirit stirring in you
-
in power? Any of you? Any of you? Has any
-
of you have had the feeling of the spirit stirring?
-
Because I have not. I've not. Ain't felt nothing. So
-
this is eight days in. I don't think so. So,
-
I mean, I probably will. hold at the outer marker
-
until three weeks is up. But if after three weeks
-
we're not in World War III, and I mean bombs everywhere,
-
missiles being fired, I mean ships being sunk. We need
-
to hear about ships being sunk, warships being put at
-
the bottom of the ocean. Then you'll know. So I
-
would also expect massive cyber warfare. I mean, I would
-
expect massive, massive financial institution warfare. I mean, come on, people.
-
The Germans, the Chinese, look, everybody knows how to hack.
-
Everybody's hacker. I mean, they would have shut down the
-
banking system by now. I mean, if you don't think
-
the Israelis can do it, you're just flat naive. You're
-
just flat naive. Oh, yes, they can shut down our
-
banking system. It's just ones and zeros, baby. And you
-
can misplace those ones and zeros very easily. So, how
-
quickly will it begin? That's the question you need to
-
ask yourself. Read Ezekiel 37. Does it seem like it
-
takes two weeks for the dry bones to come together?
-
That's not how it reads. Read of the four beasts.
-
when the four spirits of heaven, and remember, in Hebrews,
-
it's the same thing, the four ruach, same thing. It
-
happens at the same exact time. The four spirits of
-
heaven come here. Once they come here to earth, no
-
time limit is required. So the only thing that does
-
take time is after all this carnage begins, after the
-
period of time, which we don't know, this little horn
-
uproots three of the ten horns, We don't know what
-
that timeframe is, but that's the only thing that takes
-
time in this equation. Oh, are you getting apocalypse fatigue? Me,
-
I'm about, I mean, I'm done kind of upset. I mean, well,
-
for one, I don't have any retirement waiting for me.
-
I don't have no retirement. I've always been below the
-
poverty level. I don't have no retirement saved up, so.
-
I got no cocks in this fight. I don't own
-
a rooster. I can't afford to bet on a rooster,
-
so I don't, you know, I don't have anything in
-
this fight. So anyway, that's what I think. As disappointing
-
as it is, For all of you that are members
-
of Maranatha Ministries, I know that's disappointing, but spirit's not
-
gonna take no time to get this show on.
