  1. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Psalms Bible Study. Wow,

  2. Psalm 24, a whopping 10 verses. You know, is this

  3. really even a psalm, really? I mean, this should be

  4. included in the prophets, right?

  5. Well, psalm is prophecy. The psalms are prophecy.

  6. Honey, don't say that in church.

  7. I would say it you know I would say.

  8. It yes you would so what's your thoughts about this

  9. ten short verses when you read it what was your

  10. impression about when Jesus comes back it's about when Jesus

  11. comes back yes and it's amazing that you say that

  12. because you realize.

  13. 99% of wouldn't understand what this song.

  14. Well, because they reject it. They reject the word.

  15. No, it's... They're just... They're not wise.

  16. They're not wise. That is one way to put it.

  17. I mean, of those 99%, maybe 10% of those know

  18. and are rejecting it. And I get that, but I

  19. don't I don't think that most people are trying to

  20. reject God's word. It just hasn't been given to them,

  21. the understanding. But I've talked to a lot of people

  22. through the years, and they've seen the prophecy in Psalm.

  23. So it just kind of depends.

  24. On the person. But it takes.

  25. It surely takes understanding to really see this. I mean,

  26. and so I don't think they're rejecting it. They don't

  27. have understanding of it. They're not in the word enough

  28. to get understanding of it.

  29. You know, most people....

  30. Think of it as a chore, and they're doing God

  31. a favor by reading their Bible, but that's not really

  32. the truth. He's doing us a favor by letting us

  33. be able to read his words. He's the one doing

  34. something for us, not a favor, a blessing. We're not

  35. doing him any kind of favor reading, and he's trying

  36. to help us. And I know it is hard because

  37. it's hard to read because of the fact that we

  38. don't speak the original language it was written in. And

  39. it's encrypted with a lot of stuff in there too.

  40. So it doesn't read grammatically.

  41. And so it does in.

  42. A world where we can just sit down and watch

  43. TV or read a A Bible study devotional. Or you know.

  44. I don't know. We have so many other things. That

  45. are easier on the mind. That we can read or do.

  46. And this is.

  47. This is a problem widespread. Not just in the.

  48. In the church. In the workplace. In society.

  49. In our society in general people aren't using their minds

  50. and so the IQ of most people goes drastically downhill

  51. as soon as they graduate from high school or college

  52. their IQ it's a proven fact that people's IQ will

  53. drastically drop as soon as they graduate from school because

  54. There's so many things around us that we don't have

  55. to use our brain for. And so I think a

  56. lot of not reading the Bible is just that. There's

  57. too many other things that you don't have to exercise

  58. your brain for.

  59. Yeah. I can't contest or add to that. Go to

  60. the swath.

  61. Are we going to be sluggards? Are we really going

  62. to be that? Or are we going to see this

  63. opportunity that God has given in front of us? Because

  64. how many centuries went by with people not having access

  65. to the Bible? If they did, they didn't know how

  66. to read. And This enormous opportunity is in front of

  67. us in this specific moment in time where we can.

  68. Just saying that you're not doing God a favor by

  69. reading this.

  70. No, you're not.

  71. He's offered you a wonderful blessing on a silver platter.

  72. And you just have to take it up. It's like

  73. this spoiled little kid on their birthday and open a

  74. present that grandma picked out very lovingly and carefully and

  75. they say, I don't want that. I didn't want that.

  76. It was probably the best gift in the whole bunch, but.

  77. That's a child.

  78. That's a foolish child. We're not children. We're not meant

  79. to be infants. Drinking milk. We're meant to be fully

  80. grown and be appreciative of what's been given to us.

  81. Amen.

  82. We come to Christ as children, yes. But in reading

  83. the Bible and our attitude towards reading the Bible should

  84. not be like spoiled children.

  85. Yes, ma'am.

  86. Wow.

  87. Wow, Rachel. I dare not detract from that.

  88. This goes back to what you said, that most of

  89. the church rejects it. No, most of the church is lazy.

  90. Most of the church, if you inform them of that fact,

  91. they'll kick you out of the church. I was.

  92. Once lazy, too, and sometimes I still am. It's a

  93. continual battle you have to fight, but you're not.

  94. It does take effort to get up, don't it? It's

  95. so much easier to just Stay down.

  96. A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of

  97. your hands to rest. And then what happens? What does

  98. the Proverbs say?

  99. Then what happens? You have to be careful. We all

  100. have to sleep.

  101. Yes. We all have to rest.

  102. Yes.

  103. There's a point. There is just too much. And poverty

  104. will come upon you. And I'm talking about poverty, spiritual poverty.

  105. And most of our.

  106. Fellow Christians are in spiritual poverty because of their laziness

  107. in reading God's word.

  108. For the record, you said that, not me. Uh-oh. I

  109. didn't say that.

  110. Uh-oh.

  111. I didn't say that.

  112. I said that. So you don't really agree with me?

  113. Oh, I wholeheartedly. I'll preach it, baby. It's just, you know,

  114. this time I'm not going to get emails full of

  115. curse words at me.

  116. And nobody has my email.

  117. This is true. This is true. All right. Well, you know,

  118. you said some pretty steep things there I guess we

  119. better read it before I say anything about it. Go

  120. for it. Okay.

  121. Psalm 24. The King of Glory and His Kingdom. A

  122. Psalm of David. The earth is the Lord's and all

  123. its fullness, and the world and those who dwell therein.

  124. For He has founded it upon the seas and established

  125. it upon the waters. Who may ascend into the hill

  126. of the Lord, and who may stand in his holy place?

  127. He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who

  128. has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor

  129. sworn deceitfully, he shall receive blessing from the Lord and

  130. righteousness from the God of his salvation.

  131. This is Jacob.

  132. The generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, Selah.

  133. Lift up your heads, O gates, and be lifted up,

  134. you everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.

  135. Who is the King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty,

  136. the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O gates,

  137. lift up you everlasting doors, and the king of glory

  138. shall come in. Who is the king of glory? The

  139. Lord of hosts. He is the king of glory.

  140. Selah. Selah.

  141. So I'm assuming you're going to go to that cross-reference.

  142. Who may... who may ascend except for the one who

  143. has also descended.

  144. What is that?

  145. Is that Ecclesiastes? Christ descended, so of course he's going

  146. to ascend.

  147. I was going to do the cross-reference in the very

  148. first verse.

  149. Oh, okay, so I'm jumping ahead.

  150. Okay, so, because 1 Corinthians chapter 10, you know, well,

    1 Corinthians 10 chapter mention

  151. verse 26 directly quotes from this. So, The best way

  152. to get commentary off this is to read that, and

  153. that's verse 23 through 33 from 1 Corinthians chapter 10. Okay?

    1 Corinthians 10 chapter mention

  154. Okay.

  155. So, read verse 1 again before I do that.

  156. I also want to say how I feel like it

  157. lines up with Psalm 23, too.

  158. Okay, go ahead.

  159. Okay, so, Psalm 23 says, Verse 1 through 3 is,

  160. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He

  161. makes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads

  162. me besides the waters. He restores my soul. He leads

  163. me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

  164. And then this is, The earth is the Lord's in

  165. all of.

  166. Its fullness, and the world and.

  167. Those who dwell therein. he has founded it upon the

  168. seas and established it upon the waters.

  169. Right.

  170. And so I, it just seems like it just kind

  171. of fits together like a puzzle there. And then, yea,

  172. though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

  173. who may ascend into the hill of the Lord and

  174. who may stand in his holy place, I will fear

  175. no evil. He who has clean hands and a pure heart,

  176. who has not lifted up his soul to an idol

  177. and sworn deceitfully.

  178. He has not lifted up his hand. You're supposed to see. Right?

  179. Yeah.

  180. Who will ascend.

  181. For you are with me, your rod and your staff,

  182. you comfort me.

  183. So, let's go back to the very beginning and see

  184. where this is talked about.

  185. Oh, I know.

  186. I know that too.

  187. Genesis 5.

  188. Let's do this.

  189. I saw that too.

  190. Read the first two verses.

  191. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

  192. The earth was without form and void. And the darkness

  193. was on the face of the deep. And the spirit

  194. of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

  195. The spirit moved on the waters. It said that he

  196. would leave me besides still waters. And the Bible redundantly

  197. says that the C's in prophecy is many language, you know, tribes,

  198. languages and tongues, right?

  199. And then you prepare a table before me in the

  200. presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil.

  201. My cup run is over. Yes, you anoint my head.

  202. And five is he shall receive blessing from the Lord

  203. and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is Jacob,

  204. the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face.

  205. And then surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all

  206. the days of my life. And I will dwell in

  207. the house of the Lord forever. And that is lift

  208. up your heads, O gates. Yes. So it fits together

  209. like a puzzle. It's not really saying the same thing.

  210. But it fits together like a puzzle.

  211. Side by side. I've talked about this before.

  212. That.

  213. There's chiasms in scripture. What's a chiasm? You've got to

  214. say that. A chiasm is from the Greek letter chi,

  215. which we see as X.

  216. Okay. And?

  217. But it's the Hebrew that does it.

  218. What's a chiasm?

  219. Okay. It is a puzzle where, like, it'll say water

  220. in one verse. It'll say land in the next verse.

  221. And then it'll say air in the third verse and

  222. then it'll go back and repeat itself. Then the fourth

  223. verse will say air again.

  224. Okay.

  225. Or it can be a mirror. It can go, it

  226. can go land, water, air, air, water, land. That's a chiasm. Okay.

  227. So it's a type of poetry. It's a riddle. It

  228. is not poetry. It's a riddle. And God is doing

  229. this here in Psalms 24. Um, Take note, in the

  230. first verse, he says earth and world, okay?

  231. Mm-hmm.

  232. Then you go down to verse 3. It asks the question,

  233. who is going to do this? But when you look

  234. at this and lay this out, you realize that this

  235. happens three times in these verses.

  236. And also, is this the first time it asks a

  237. question in the Psalms? Uh....

  238. Oh, wow, man. You're just going for it, aren't you?

  239. I mean, there's like, how many questions?

  240. One, two. Like I said, Rachel, it's a riddle.

  241. Three.

  242. It's a puzzle. Four.

  243. There's four questions. And two of them are repeated.

  244. Two of them are repeated.

  245. Yes.

  246. Two of them are repeated. So, boy. Why do you

  247. think there's four questions here? You realize there's four spirits

  248. of heaven, right?

  249. What?

  250. What about the seven? What about the seven spirits of God? Stop. Stop.

  251. That's too far over my head. When I say stop,

  252. you need to stop talking. Okay? Just stop talking. Okay,

  253. let me go over there. You'll see. So, you obviously

  254. know about the Dry Bones prophecy, right? Dry bones, dry bones. Alright,

  255. so you know the song. Okay. Let me go down here.

  256. I'm not super familiar with it. Like I said, I

  257. struggle with laziness sometimes.

  258. You struggle with it.

  259. But I'm working on it.

  260. Okay. So that's good. But you know the song.

  261. I know a few songs that talk about dry bones.

  262. Okay. So Ezekiel chapter 37, verse 9. Read it for me.

    Ezekiel 37:9

  263. Also, he said to me, prophesy to the breath. Prophesy,

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

  265. the Lord God. Come from the four winds, O breath,

  266. and breathe on these slain that they may live.

  267. The four spirits of heaven, the four ruach of heaven.

  268. So that's why there's four questions. So this is, I mean,

  269. the question is how complicated do we want to go?

  270. Because this is fantastic.

  271. Yeah, we don't need to go that far.

  272. It was like I was saying.

  273. That's kind of more than what my, I don't want

  274. to say feeble mind. You're the one talking about this,

  275. not me. Just saying that my out of shape brain.

  276. Okay. Yeah, but none of this is my fault.

  277. I know.

  278. This is all you, not me. I know. For the record,

  279. and this is on the record, right? I specifically said, no,

  280. I want to go to 1 Corinthians 10. You added

  281. everything else, not me. I know, I know. It's just

  282. the way my brain is seeing it right now. Okay, well,

  283. let's see this. I will read this time.

  284. Okay.

  285. So this first verse is what 1 Corinthians 10, starting

  286. with verse 23, all the way to 33, So this

  287. is the commentary for this verse, okay? All right? All

  288. things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful.

  289. All things are lawful for me, but not all things edify.

  290. Let no one seek his own, but each one the

  291. other's well-being. Eat whatever is sold in the meat market.

  292. Asking no questions. For conscience sake. For the earth is

  293. the Lord's. And all its fullness. If any of those

  294. who do not believe. Invites you to dinner. And you

  295. desire to go. Eat whatever is set before you. Asking

  296. no questions. for conscience sake. For the earth is the

  297. Lord's and all its fullness. Conscience, I say, not your own,

  298. but that of the other. For why is my liberty

  299. judged by another man's conscience? But if I partake with thanks,

  300. Why am I evil spoken of for the food over

  301. which I gave thanks? Therefore, whether you eat or whatever

  302. you do, do all to the glory of God. Give

  303. no offense either to the Jews or to the Greeks

  304. or to the church of God. Just as I also

  305. please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit,

  306. but the profit of many that they May be saying.

  307. This is a commentary. On Psalm 24. And it's so

  308. much a commentary. On 24. If you can't see it.

  309. You are both deaf and blind. You're both deaf and blind.

  310. If you can't see it. So you take note. He

  311. repeated himself. He asked questions. He repeated himself twice. He

  312. gave questions twice. So he is in every way, shape

  313. and form. This is a riddle. This is a riddle.

  314. So the spirit moves upon the water, praise God. The

  315. spirit only moves upon the water. But the nations, you

  316. think it's the other way around. In your mind, you

  317. think that Christians come out of the nations and were

  318. built upon the nations. No, no, that's a lie. That's

  319. a lie. What Psalm 24 is saying is no, no, no, no, no.

  320. You God-haters exist for one exclusive reason. You exist because

  321. For the purpose of the waters. All these people. Are

  322. living their lives. To construct a society. In which you dwell.

  323. That's what this is saying. It's contradicting man's tongue. In

  324. every way shape and form. This contradicts. The kingdom of man.

  325. And it establishes. God is saying.

  326. No.

  327. That's not it at all. The kingdom of man is

  328. established on the kingdom of heaven. That's what it's saying.

  329. And this.

  330. And take note, it is saying that... It is saying

  331. that anybody that is in the world, anybody that's on

  332. the earth, can come out of there into the water.

  333. Anybody can be saved. That's what 1 Corinthians chapter 10

    1 Corinthians 10 chapter mention

  334. was trying to say.

  335. So you're basically saying that we are all called according

  336. to God's purpose.

  337. Every single one of us.

  338. Okay, no.

  339. I know I've been redundantly saying this. I mean, at

  340. this point, I'm really sounding like a broken record. But

  341. that broken record has purpose. So.

  342. So are the animals.

  343. Called in another way according to God's purpose? Not to

  344. have the same eternity.

  345. It's the environment. That's why the entire environment, yes. So

  346. the animals too. You know that from the fourth seal.

  347. The environment and all therein, the birds, the fish, the animals,

  348. turn against the kingdom of man. So anyway, Read verses

  349. 26 through 29, honey.

  350. For if we sin willfully after we have received the

  351. knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice

  352. for our sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment

  353. and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. Anyone who

  354. has rejected Moses' law dies unjustly. without mercy on the

  355. testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse

  356. punishment do you suppose will he be thought worthy who

  357. has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood

  358. of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing,

  359. and insulted the Spirit of grace?

  360. So, this is very plain to the text. Once you

  361. enter the body of Christ, which is, this is, look,

  362. saying it is ridiculous. You don't enter membership into any

  363. congregation without baptism, do you, Rachel? Water baptism, that is. None.

  364. Not Orthodox, none. Presbyterian, you can only officially enter the

  365. congregation of the Lord via water baptism. You know this.

  366. We just had to go through this with Mariah, right?

  367. Right. I think maybe there's some churches that don't do that.

  368. No, there's not. There's not?

  369. No.

  370. So, this is stating plainly that after you've entered the congregation,

  371. if you continue to sin willfully, you will insult the

  372. spirit of grace and you will be not baptized in

  373. the spirit. So, wow. How much further can I go

  374. with this? What's your thoughts? It's true. What else to say?

  375. It's true and it's very complicated. Now take note. Did

  376. you see verse 2 is also in Psalm 89? It says,

  377. For he has founded it upon the seas and established

  378. it upon the waters. Psalm 89, verse 11. The heavens

    Psalms 89:11

  379. are yours. The earth also is yours. The world in

  380. all its fullness. You have founded them. So it takes

  381. the Hebrew words and switches them around and says the

  382. same thing. says the same thing.

  383. So they would have known that it was when whoever

  384. was you know when it was being written the ones

  385. who were hearing the psalm would have known that it

  386. was referring to this other psalm. They would have known

  387. it was connected.

  388. They would have known it was connected and they would

  389. understand why all of this has been done. Why he

  390. created creation in the first place. So very. Very intriguing prophecy.

  391. Now let's get to verse 3. Who may ascend the

  392. hill of the Lord. Or who may stand in his

  393. holy place. This is directly given. In the Bible. Multiple times.

  394. It's um.

  395. Directly given in multiple verses. But you know this to

  396. be the children. Right Rich? The children alone. Do this thing.

  397. In the book of Obadiah. The very last verse. Verse 21.

  398. It calls this. In Hebrew. These are Moshai. It's amazing that.

  399. people don't take the time to really look at this.

  400. Right here, Rachel, look in the Hebrew. Mosheim.

  401. There.

  402. That's who will ascend Mount Zion. Let me read it

  403. for you. So, read verse 21 for me.

  404. Then saviors shall come to Mount Zion to judge the

  405. mountains of Esau, and the kingdom shall be the Lord's.

  406. This also comes up in Nehemiah. We'll jump over there

  407. real quick and do that because Moshaim is there too.

  408. But my Bible doesn't have this nifty thing. And when

  409. I use the Strong's Concordance, like the book form that

  410. we have, it doesn't do the same thing for me

  411. as what you've got there. Not everybody has a way

  412. to see the word-for-word layout of it.

  413. They can on Blue Letter Bible. They can on Bible Hub.

  414. They can on a book.

  415. But if they were actually looking at a physical Bible

  416. or book, they don't have a way to do that.

  417. No, they don't have a way to do that.

  418. So that's not really laziness. That's not really laziness. It's

  419. just not having access to that. Right.

  420. Okay, so read for me Nehemiah chapter 9, verse 27.

    Nehemiah 9:27

  421. Therefore you delivered them into the hand of their enemies

  422. who oppressed them.

  423. And in the time of their trouble.

  424. When they cried out to you, you heard from heaven.

  425. And according to your abundant mercies, you gave them deliverers

  426. who saved them from the hand of their enemies.

  427. Excuse me, there again. There again, let's switch over to

  428. the Hebrew. This is not delivers in Hebrew. In Hebrew,

  429. what does that say, Rachel?

  430. It says Mosheim.

  431. Right there, Mosheim. Take note that he just repeated Matthew

    Matthew 24:8

  432. chapter 24, verses 8 and 9. That's what he's literally

  433. saying here. So it's not talking about Jesus. I thought

  434. it was talking about Jesus. It Easy. Literally, this verse,

  435. read it again. So when it says, Therefore deliver them

  436. to the hand of their enemies who oppress them, and

  437. in the time of trouble, he is stating that is

  438. the tribulation, the lesser tribulation, which he calls birth pangs.

  439. That's when he's saying this is going to happen. This

  440. is prophecy. So anyway, to get the fullness of these verses...

  441. This literally happens beyond contestation in Revelation chapter 14. Read

    Revelation 14 chapter mention

  442. for me the first five verses.

  443. Then I looked, and behold, a lamb standing on Mount Zion,

  444. and with him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having his

  445. father's name written on their foreheads. And I heard a

  446. voice from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and

  447. like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard the

  448. sound of harpists playing their harps. They sang as if

  449. it were a new song before the throne, before the

  450. four living creatures and the elders. And no one could

  451. learn that song except the 144,000 who were redeemed from

  452. the earth. These are the ones who are not defiled

  453. with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones

  454. who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed

  455. from among men, being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.

  456. And in their mouth was found no deceit, for they

  457. are without fault before the throne of God.

  458. Period. Period. Period. Nobody else. We know how this action

  459. happens in Revelation chapter 12. This triggers a war in heaven.

    Revelation 12 chapter mention

  460. This is why the angels go to war. They go

  461. to war with these children. Now, we know this happens

  462. during this lesser tribulation, these birth pains from Matthew chapter

    Matthew 24:1–14

  463. 24 verses 1 through 14. We know that beyond contestation.

  464. Where they're coming from. And why it just said that.

  465. No lie was found in their mouth. Now Matthew chapter

    Matthew 24:19

  466. 24 verse 19 says. We'll be to pregnant women and

  467. nursing mothers. Right Rach? We've talked about that before. That

  468. is talking about. And matter of fact. You brought that up.

  469. You're the one that said. That was talking about the children.

  470. So.

  471. We are going to do this. When this happens.

  472. It's pretty.

  473. Pretty incredible. Okay. Start reading verse 16 of. Isaiah chapter 26, reach.

    Isaiah 26 chapter mention

  474. Lord, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out

  475. a prayer when their chastening was upon them. As a

  476. woman with child is in pain and cries out in

  477. her pangs when she draws near the time of her delivery,

  478. so have we been in your sight, O Lord. We

  479. have been with child. We have been in pain. We have,

  480. as it were, brought forth wind. We have not accomplished

  481. any deliverance in the earth. Or have the inhabitants of

  482. the world fallen?

  483. Your fallen means when you're giving birth, they fall out

  484. of the womb from the squatting position. So, it's these

  485. children who do this in Psalm 24. Literally speaking. So,

  486. I bet nobody realized before how complicated these 10 verses are.

  487. Because they're complicated. I mean, they're creating information overload, right?

  488. I mean, I can tell by your expressions, it's information

  489. overload at this point. So, let's get back to Psalm 24.

  490. What's your thoughts? What are you thinking?

  491. Um... So yes, when we move on to verse four,

  492. he was clean hands and pure heart is not lifted

  493. up his soul to an idol or sworn deceitfully. Um,

  494. that's talking about the ones who didn't bow down to

  495. the image of the beast.

  496. And yes, um, that's, that's.

  497. What this is talking about. And, um, when we make

  498. it through and we don't succumb to the fear of

  499. what's of the abomination of desolation and we don't succumb

  500. to that we make it through having clean hands not

  501. having been part of the murdering and handing over to

  502. the authorities people who you know We haven't done those things.

  503. We didn't do any of those things. We didn't, we didn't,

  504. we didn't, you know, during this time, we don't do

  505. anything shameful that is a sin in order to save ourselves.

  506. So read Revelation chapter 14, verse 5 again.

    Revelation 14:5

  507. And in their mouth was found no deceit, for they

  508. are without fault before the throne of God. I know

  509. it was also talking about the 144 things. I know

  510. it was also talking about them, but I know, But.

  511. It's also talking about us. Yes, it's also talking about us.

  512. This is polysemic. This is what they washed their hands

  513. with was, of course, the imbiotic fluid. That water. Who did?

  514. These children. God's word is polysemic. It has so much information. Yes,

  515. what you said is true. And what I just said

  516. is beyond contestation. But you were asking what my thoughts were.

  517. And that's my thoughts. That's where I'm at.

  518. This is where, you know, we're going to. flee we're

  519. not going to think about grabbing anything or waiting at

  520. all because our neighbors our so called friends even our

  521. family will turn against us and turn us in so

  522. we need to be gone before they realize we're missing

  523. you know, we have to be gone. So this is

  524. during that time and we have to do it in

  525. all blamelessness.

  526. Okay, so can I say this or is it too

  527. much information overload? I don't know.

  528. I feel like you're going to say it.

  529. Just do it. Do you want me to do it

  530. or not? Just do it.

  531. Okay.

  532. I'm not trying to blow the top of your head off.

  533. you said you're the one that said you're going to

  534. have to do this in innocence and simplify this had

  535. to do with an idol right you said that listen

  536. and he will explain it to you Matthew chapter 24

    Matthew 24:15

  537. verse 15 therefore when you see the abomination of desolation

  538. spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing in the holy

  539. place whoever reads let him understand then let those who

  540. are in Judea flee to the mountains Let him who

  541. is on the housetop not go down to take anything

  542. out of the house. Let me reword that. Not take

  543. any idol, any man-made thing. He goes further. Let him

  544. who is in the field not go back to get

  545. an idol, a thing. Yes, here it says clothes, anything man-made.

  546. It's not those things that are important. Verse 19, but what?

  547. So no idols, but what? Let him who is in

  548. the field not go back to get his clothes. Woe

  549. to those who are pregnant, women and nursing and those

  550. babies in those days. Pray your flight, you are to flee.

  551. And you realize this diatribe here is built off Verse

  552. 4 of Psalm 24.

  553. Or on the Sabbath. Why on the Sabbath? Are they

  554. going to be tracking people more.

  555. On the Sabbath?

  556. Because they're going to still be trying to enforce certain

  557. biblical laws?

  558. Why that?

  559. Okay. Because we know that in order to save a life,

  560. we can do things on the Sabbath in order to

  561. save a life. We know that.

  562. Oh, that's not what the clergy said. No, Rach, that's

  563. not what the clergy said. They wanted to kill him

  564. for it. Right. But, you know, we know that.

  565. So this is not God saying that we shouldn't. be

  566. trying to flee, that the clergy will come after us

  567. for trying. They will be watching more closely on the

  568. Sabbath because nobody's supposed to be out of their house, maybe.

  569. I don't know. So let me say this. Why would

  570. you be on the rooftop? You don't know, do you?

  571. If there was a flood.

  572. No.

  573. Why would you be on the rooftop? If there was

  574. a flood. They would go up there to dry out

  575. the grain. Next verse. Why would you be in the field?

  576. You don't just go stand in the middle of it.

  577. You don't just go stand in the middle of the

  578. wheat field.

  579. Harvest. What are we getting at? Because we don't really

  580. have our rooftops are like this. We can't put anything

  581. up there.

  582. Right.

  583. So I'm just thinking, why would I go to a rooftop?

  584. I'm thinking the only thing I can think of is

  585. I would go up to a rooftop if there was

  586. a flood.

  587. You asked the question, not me. I'm explaining it to you.

  588. Now you're asking me a question. You said, why on

  589. the Sabbath? I'm trying to tell you. I'm trying to

  590. tell you. On the Sabbath, why did they try to

  591. kill him? You know this.

  592. They tried to kill him because they were trying to

  593. entrap him.

  594. On the Sabbath, his disciples were doing what?

  595. They were getting grains of wheat and eating it. Yes.

  596. He's trying to say that the part of the great

  597. apostasy will be them trying to enforce all these man-made laws. Okay?

  598. They will begin to... Literally what happened to Jesus Christ

  599. that day, in the field, with his disciples, they'll try

  600. to enforce. It's riddling it to you. Right, right.

  601. So... So, yeah.

  602. Very interesting, huh? It's interesting.

  603. We're not away from the chapter.

  604. Right, I know. So let's get back to the chapter.

  605. What about verse 5?

  606. He shall receive a blessing from the Lord and righteousness

  607. from the God of his salvation. This is Jacob, the

  608. generation who will seek him, who seek your face.

  609. Selah.

  610. So this is that generation of those who remain. Speaking

  611. of That generation of those who will remain. This is Jacob.

  612. The generation of those who seek him. Who seek your face.

  613. Yes, and it just... It's amazing how you're one of

  614. the very few people that have seen that. He said,

  615. this is Jacob present tense. He's saying that it is

  616. during these birth pangs... you'll either be born again or not,

  617. but you will be part of the congregation. So right now,

  618. if you attend a church building, if you've been water

  619. baptized into a covenant with a building, you're Jacob. But

  620. being Jacob is not enough. Jacob must be born again

  621. into Israel. Next verse.

  622. I need to get, take a break and get a

  623. drink of water.

  624. Go for it. So before she comes in, just take

  625. note that, uh, here prophetically in reference to the children, uh,

  626. the gates, of course, is the birth canal, but we

  627. won't talk about that. Um, Because I noticed everybody has fled.

  628. Only one participant remains in the room. Man.

  629. Well, maybe they got cut off. Don't judge them. Maybe

  630. they thought we were arguing. Because sometimes when we get intense,

  631. we sound like we're arguing or something.

  632. That's the sound of dry bones coming together.

  633. Yeah, but.

  634. I hope people don't think we were arguing earlier.

  635. This was just.

  636. We were getting kind of intense.

  637. It's hot now. Turn off the furnace. Scoot closer to me. Okay,

  638. next verse. Okay.

  639. Oh.

  640. Verse 7.

  641. Lift up your heads, O you gates, and be lifted up,

  642. you everlasting doors. Okay, this is where I was curious

  643. as to what they represent because I can't remember any

  644. kind of gate that would have a head. So, like,

  645. I want to know... Is this like something else in Hebrew?

  646. Or what's going on here? Okay, Rachel. I couldn't even

  647. think of any gate that even resembled a head. So,

  648. having a head.

  649. Rachel, when I say it, I'm going to have to

  650. say it. I've repeatedly tried to direct your minds that

  651. prophetically this is talking about those children. Riddle me, Rachel.

  652. How does the doctor know the baby's getting ready to

  653. be born? Ah, yes. Go ahead, say it. It's true.

  654. I can't remember the word.

  655. To check to see if the cervix is dilated.

  656. The head drops down. They're delivered what? How are babies

  657. naturally delivered? Are they headfirst or are they breech?

  658. They're supposed to be headfirst. Sometimes they're breech, though.

  659. Sometimes they're breech. It's trying to say something to you.

  660. Sometimes they're breech. Jacob must be born again. Wait.

  661. If their heads are lifted up, they would be breech.

  662. They would.

  663. But their heads would be upward and not downward.

  664. Their heads come out first through the gates. But then

  665. it would be down. You're confusing yourself, okay? Lift up

  666. your head. Oh, you gates.

  667. Okay.

  668. A baby's born head first, Rach. Right.

  669. But it's coming down.

  670. And it says, we just read in Isaiah chapter 1.

    Isaiah 1 chapter mention

  671. I hear I'm overthinking it.

  672. Well, that's why I had you read Isaiah chapter 26,

    Isaiah 26 chapter mention

  673. and it said that the inhabitants of the world had

  674. not fallen. Don't you see? In Hebrew, it's... Okay. Okay, so.

  675. Verse 8.

  676. I didn't finish reading it. Lift up your heads, O

  677. you gates... and be lifted up to everlasting doors, and

  678. the King of Glory shall come in.

  679. This is why the rabbis, after the fact, you can

  680. find it in their commentaries, that they know this is

  681. talking about the birth of the Messiah. Okay. And they're

  682. saying this is why the clergy at the time, both

  683. the Pharisees and the Sadducees, they're the clergy, the Sanhedrin,

  684. both of them would accept no sign. The Messiah was

  685. only supposed to do one thing, deliver them from the Romans, right?

  686. That's why they rejected Christ. They didn't want him healing

  687. the lame. They wanted him to set up their kingdom.

  688. That's what they wanted, their kingdom, right? That's how they,

  689. this is one of the reasons why they so vehemently

  690. rejected him. Vehemently. Now, now that you know this, King Herod,

  691. when the Magi came, you realize King Herod got an earful.

  692. He's like, what's been born? King Herod and all the

  693. Herodians were thinking about Psalm 24. Okay? But it's also

  694. talking about it's not only talking about these children that's

  695. a mechanism but we just like we read Hebrews chapter

    Hebrews 10:26–29

  696. 10 verses 26 through 29 You must be baptized of

  697. the Holy Spirit, Rachel. You must be born in this

  698. imbiotic fluid.

  699. The spirit.

  700. Where the spirit moves. And the first thing that happens,

  701. everybody knows, now we know we're going to have a baby,

  702. is when the water breaks. This is, I mean, me

  703. even saying it is stupid to even say it. It's

  704. just as established as the sky is blue. When your

  705. water breaks, you ain't worried about false labor. You're getting

  706. ready to have yourself a baby once the water breaks.

  707. Right?

  708. And that water breaking is said in the scriptures to

  709. be the flood of many waters.

  710. Right? Okay.

  711. So go ahead, finish reading.

  712. Who is this king of glory? The Lord strong and mighty,

  713. the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O

  714. you gates. Lift up, you everlasting doors, and the King

  715. of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory?

  716. The Lord of hosts. He is the King of glory.

  717. Okay, so take note. This is saying... Okay, let's... Go

  718. back to verse 3 and read that. Who may ascend

  719. the hill of the Lord or who may stand in

  720. his holy place? He is saying that this Messiah, this

  721. Messiah was going to come from heaven. He's coming from

  722. God's holy hill and he's going to come here. Okay,

  723. so when you know this, you realize what this is.

  724. This is a great riddle saying that Everything starts in heaven.

  725. This war is going to start in heaven. And all

  726. these things are going to be made manifest on the

  727. earth in creation. And if you can't see it, you

  728. just read it like it's a little golden book.

  729. So what is representative of the everlasting doors?

  730. Because you said the gates, but what is....

  731. Representative of the everlasting doors.

  732. Once he was born, the only way into eternal life

  733. is what? Jesus said, I am the what? The door.

  734. The life. I am the life. Right? So he said

  735. this a trillion times. Once the Messiah is born, he

  736. creates everlasting life. You can only be.

  737. You can only obtain everlasting life By being baptized in

  738. the Holy Spirit. You must be born again. Through Christ Jesus.

  739. Through the King of Glory. His name is the Lord

  740. Jesus Christ. That's his name. And you can be just

  741. like the Sanhedrin. Because the Sanhedrin dotted all their I's

  742. and crossed all their T's, didn't they, Rach? But they

  743. had not been born again and they died, Jacob. They died, Jacob.

  744. They died. Because they refused to be born again. Even

  745. though the King of Glory was standing right in front

  746. of them. They had massive eyewitness accounts about what happened

  747. with the Magi. It was in official Roman records. This

  748. is the Messiah. The Messiah had been born. They rejected it.

  749. They were enemies of Christ. They killed him. And you're

  750. supposed to know your clergy. Yes, they will. Thus saith

  751. the word.

  752. Maybe not your current clergy, but the clergy that will

  753. be in.

  754. The apostasy.

  755. The clergy that will be in reigning power at that

  756. time will be.

  757. And anybody who.

  758. Any of the clergy who doesn't go along with that

  759. will not be clergy yet.

  760. They will be martyred. Thus saith the word. Thus saith

  761. the word. Any clergy that's been born again. They will

  762. be martyred. So. How long have we. We're up to

  763. an hour baby. Yeah. I think we're good. I think

  764. we've given them enough.

  765. To ponder on.

  766. Not them.

  767. One.

  768. Do you realize they don't realize that I don't have

  769. to post this?

  770. Well, yeah, but people are going to. You don't have to,

  771. but you're going to. I know you are.

  772. How do you know that?

  773. I don't know for sure, but God could change things.

  774. I don't know.

  775. You probably will. I mean, why wouldn't you?

  776. I'm faithful, Rachel.

  777. Things can happen, I suppose. Things can get lost in

  778. outer space.

  779. Yes, they can. Outer space is deep, isn't it? It's

  780. not infinite, but it is deep.

  781. All right.

  782. Any questions or comments? Going once. Going twice. Third time's

  783. a charm. Until next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless.

  784. Godspeed.
