717. Bible Study: Isaiah 26 (2nd Coming of Jesus, the "Rapture"/Resurrection/Gathering/Protection from Wrath) · Faith by annm2705

• 0:00
  Chapter 26 from the book of Isaiah.
• 0:03
  It's called A Song of Praise. If I were going to title this, I
• 0:08
  would actually call it the Second Coming.
• 0:11
  Of Jesus Christ. So this is the coming of the
• 0:14
  Messiah. And it's, it's amazing to me
• 0:18
  that this was written in the seven hundreds BC, so almost
• 0:23
  3000 years ago. And Jesus was not recognized by
• 0:31
  some of the Jewish people, some of the Israelites, because it's
• 0:36
  so clearly, well, actually this is prophecy.
• 0:39
  So it didn't happen yet. But boy, there is they don't
• 0:44
  have the benefit of the New Testament.
• 0:47
  And so any Christians have the benefit of reading the New
• 0:49
  Testament and can see this is all about Jesus.
• 0:54
  Like every chapter, I think that I've gone in Isaiah, I find
• 0:58
  Jesus in there and. Whether it's a prophecy of his
• 1:02
  first. Coming or if it's a prophecy
• 1:05
  about his second coming. So this is really interesting.
• 1:07
  I thought this was going to be a short chapter because there's
• 1:10
  not a whole lot to cover as I was reading through it, but then
• 1:14
  other scripture came to mind. So I have about 5 different
• 1:19
  references of scripture. Scripture interprets scripture
• 1:23
  and it helps us understand. So that's why I go to other
• 1:26
  books when I'm reading through Isaiah.
• 1:27
  But I have about 5 of them. So I'm going to try to do this
• 1:30
  as quickly as possible. So let's start with the prayer.
• 1:33
  Dear God, please be with us and please let the Holy Spirit give
• 1:36
  us wisdom from the scripture that we read today.
• 1:40
  Speak to U.S., Open our eyes, give us wisdom and let us know
• 1:45
  how we can fulfill your will, how we can live in accordance
• 1:50
  with your will. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
• 1:54
  So in that day, the day of the Lord, OK, in that day, this song
• 1:59
  will be sung. In the land of Judah.
• 2:01
  We have a strong city. God makes salvation its walls
• 2:06
  and ramparts. Open the gates that the
• 2:09
  righteous nation may enter, the nation that keeps.
• 2:14
  Faith. You will keep in perfect peace
• 2:18
  those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in you.
• 2:23
  I want to pause there. First of all, He's bringing
• 2:26
  peace. We will have peace someday in
• 2:29
  the land of Jerusalem. There will be peace and it'll be
• 2:32
  brought about by the true Messiah, not a fake Messiah,
• 2:35
  which we know probably is coming according to prophecy, but
• 2:39
  there's going to be a true Messiah of Jesus and he will
• 2:42
  actually his, His hands will will be visible.
• 2:46
  So if somebody, you know, doesn't have holes in their
• 2:50
  hands or their arms from the crucifixion, that's a fake
• 2:54
  Messiah. So that's another way of
• 2:55
  knowing. Plus Jesus is coming on the
• 2:57
  clouds. So if somebody doesn't arrive on
• 3:00
  the clouds, that's a fake Messiah.
• 3:03
  OK, So first of all, he's going to bring peace.
• 3:06
  There's going to be this leader that claims to be him that
• 3:11
  probably bring some sort of short term peace, but it's
• 3:14
  deceptive peace. It's going to be a peace that
• 3:17
  people think they have, and then there's going to be a sudden
• 3:19
  destruction. That's what prophecy tells us.
• 3:21
  So but Jesus will actually bring perfect peace and he said, and
• 3:27
  it says here you will keep in perfect peace those whose minds
• 3:33
  are steadfast. So our minds need to be filled
• 3:36
  with the word of God. We need to know the truth so
• 3:40
  that when we see things that deceive us, we're not with all
• 3:44
  the others that get deceived because there's going to be many
• 3:48
  who will be deceived, but not the ones who are in the word of
• 3:51
  God, not the ones who the truth. That's why it's again to be the
• 3:55
  word of God. And it's also says because they
• 3:59
  trust in you. So we trust in God's power, not
• 4:03
  ours. We trust in God in all
• 4:05
  circumstances. We know.
• 4:07
  That God is faithful. And he shows he is faithful to
• 4:11
  his children, He shows love to his children.
• 4:15
  And all we have to do is rely on God.
• 4:18
  If we start thinking that we're going to store up things for
• 4:21
  ourselves, we're going to get in our bunkers and we're going to
• 4:24
  have all the supplies that we need to weather through some
• 4:28
  troubling time, we're deceiving ourselves because I mean, maybe
• 4:32
  God will call you to do that, but you got to pray to God about
• 4:35
  doing that. But you can just trust in God.
• 4:39
  I mean, look at how many times God sent people out into the
• 4:42
  world, prophets and people who are spreading his message and
• 4:45
  told him, don't take anything, just go and you will be provided
• 4:49
  along the way. Elijah, he was, he didn't have
• 4:52
  any food and Ravens actually brought him food and one time an
• 4:55
  Angel brought him food. And so we don't even, you know,
• 5:00
  God with everything God is. With a.
• 5:04
  Anything is possible with God if we rely on our own resources.
• 5:10
  We might not have enough, but just rely on God and pray about
• 5:13
  it. And maybe God wants you to store
• 5:16
  up resources so that you can share with other people.
• 5:18
  Now that wouldn't be just so you can hoard it for yourself
• 5:21
  because that's not the way God is.
• 5:23
  Love is selfless. So if you are storing up things,
• 5:28
  if you are storing it up just for yourself to survive through
• 5:31
  trembling times, then you might want to pray about that.
• 5:35
  Because if you store up things, you should be storing it up to
• 5:39
  think about. Well, I can share this with
• 5:41
  other people and that's why I'm storing it up because that would
• 5:44
  be something Christ would do. He would selfless rather than
• 5:48
  selfish. And we just have to remember
• 5:50
  those things and not let fear come over us.
• 5:55
  And again, this is about a mindset.
• 5:57
  And the only way that you have this mindset is by being in the
• 6:00
  Word and knowing that the Bible is true.
• 6:04
  And then you don't have the fear like you might have the fear
• 6:08
  when something comes, when you see something substantial.
• 6:11
  But at that moment, just pray. Just say God I know who you are
• 6:15
  and I am fearful and please help me with.
• 6:17
  This. Because that's what God is.
• 6:19
  He just wants us to trust in Him.
• 6:21
  Just call on Him for everything whenever.
• 6:23
  We are faced. With any kind of troubling times
• 6:27
  ahead of us. OK, so it says, trust in the
• 6:30
  Lord forever. For the Lord, the Lord himself
• 6:34
  is the rock eternal. That's Jesus.
• 6:37
  He humbles those who dwell on high.
• 6:40
  He lays the lofty city low. He levels it to the ground and
• 6:44
  cast it down to the dust feet, trample it down.
• 6:49
  The feet of the oppressed, the footsteps of the poor, the path
• 6:54
  of the righteous is level. You, the upright one, make the
• 6:58
  way of the righteous smooth. I find that interesting too,
• 7:03
  that you make the way of the righteous.
• 7:06
  And Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life.
• 7:10
  So he's the way. To the Kingdom he's truth.
• 7:15
  So things that He spoke are all true and He is life.
• 7:19
  So when we trust in Him, we will have eternal life.
• 7:23
  And so says you, the upright one, Jesus, make the way of the
• 7:29
  righteous smooth. So when we rely on God, just
• 7:32
  think about when Jesus was sleeping and this torrential
• 7:35
  storm happened and the disciples were saying, Hey, you're
• 7:39
  sleeping, you know, get up, you know, all this the storm is
• 7:42
  happening and they were very fearful and and he just said you
• 7:45
  little faith and he rebuked the storm and it calmed down.
• 7:49
  And so that's where that's what we can do is trust in God, trust
• 7:53
  in Jesus and call on him in troubling times.
• 7:57
  Now we want God to hear us. So if we are showing God that we
• 8:02
  love him in advance by being obedient to him, then he's going
• 8:06
  to hear us. But he doesn't listen to the
• 8:10
  disobedient ones, the rebellious ones.
• 8:14
  At a certain point, he's just he's not paying attention.
• 8:17
  If you want your prayers answered, we need to be obedient
• 8:21
  to God's word. We need to obey what God says.
• 8:24
  Then God will hear us. God does hear people when they
• 8:28
  turn to Him if they are rebellious or not, if we all
• 8:32
  are. But when they are rebellious and
• 8:35
  they turn to God, yes, He welcomes that.
• 8:38
  So that's one time when God hears the prayers of the
• 8:43
  unrighteous when they turn to him.
• 8:45
  But prior to that, like if you're trying to get prayers
• 8:47
  answered and it's not happening and you have all kinds of sin in
• 8:51
  your life, that's probably why, because God's not listening,
• 8:55
  yes. OK, So continuing back in the
• 8:58
  word, yes, Lord walking in the way of your laws.
• 9:02
  OK, We were just talking about that.
• 9:03
  The ways be obedient to him. That's what He wants us to do.
• 9:06
  That's how we show God we love him.
• 9:09
  Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you.
• 9:13
  Your name and renown are the desire of our hearts.
• 9:18
  My soul yearns for you in the night.
• 9:21
  In the morning, my spirit longs for you when when your judgments
• 9:26
  come upon the earth, the people of the world learn
• 9:31
  righteousness. So this gives us insight into
• 9:34
  why judgments come on the earth. God doesn't like destruction.
• 9:41
  So the only purpose of His judgement, not the only purpose,
• 9:45
  I guess. But when your judgements come
• 9:49
  upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.
• 9:54
  So he's teaching people righteousness.
• 9:57
  It we can be really stubborn and put off God and ignore Him and
• 10:04
  want to live in our own rebellious ways, but that's
• 10:09
  really just saying, OK, God, I'm, you know, like things are
• 10:12
  going great in my life. I'm loving my sin.
• 10:15
  I'm having a fun time. This is all great and wonderful
• 10:18
  and it's awesome that this is happening and God's sitting back
• 10:23
  like, yeah, well, you better turn pretty soon because
• 10:27
  ultimately judgements going to fall on you.
• 10:29
  And the purpose of that judgement is to bring you into
• 10:32
  righteousness. So anyway, this is the the whole
• 10:37
  purpose of judgement is to bring people to righteousness.
• 10:40
  Like God wants to save people, but he can't force it.
• 10:44
  So he's going to put the pressure on and then people
• 10:47
  sometimes will, you know, turn to God when the pressure gets
• 10:51
  turned on. Now listen to this.
• 10:54
  But when grace is shown to. The wicked grace.
• 11:01
  Is shown to the wicked. Isn't that interesting?
• 11:04
  When grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn
• 11:08
  righteousness. So God is patient in His
• 11:12
  judgement because He wants everybody to turn to Him in
• 11:15
  repentance. But when grace is shown to the
• 11:19
  wicked, they don't learn righteousness.
• 11:21
  They just say I'm doing what I want to do, I'm having fun in my
• 11:25
  sin, and I'm being successful while I'm sinning.
• 11:31
  And I don't believe all this stuff because nothing bad is
• 11:34
  happening to me. Look at all this good stuff
• 11:36
  that's happening to me. See, that doesn't work.
• 11:39
  That's why God has to bring judgement, and He will.
• 11:42
  But He's patient with some and some He lets you know.
• 11:46
  He knows the hearts of people and He knows that some hearts
• 11:50
  just aren't going to turn to Him.
• 11:52
  So their destruction will come about probably when Jesus
• 11:57
  returns. So some will get away with their
• 11:59
  sinning, but that's not necessarily a good thing.
• 12:02
  They might, they might like appear to have all of these
• 12:07
  great things in the world and they're very like sinful in
• 12:12
  their lives. And you look at them and you're
• 12:14
  like, well, why do they get away with all that?
• 12:16
  You know, they don't get judged. They will.
• 12:19
  And they're going to lose out on the Kingdom of God for eternity.
• 12:23
  Eternity unless they repent. So just because somebody is
• 12:28
  getting away with it right now does not mean that they are
• 12:32
  free. They are a slave to sin and they
• 12:38
  will be punished. And they will be punished in
• 12:41
  such a worse way than anyone else who turns to God before
• 12:45
  they die. If they die in their sin, all
• 12:48
  they can expect is eternal torment and judgement from God.
• 12:53
  So God is just patient. So he does it says.
• 12:57
  But when grace is shown to the wicked, so he shows grace to the
• 13:00
  wicked. He could knock him off the
• 13:03
  world, but he hoped they turn around and get repentant to him.
• 13:06
  But they don't learn righteousness that way.
• 13:08
  They have to come under pressure and that's why God brings about
• 13:12
  what He brings about. Even in a land of uprightness.
• 13:17
  They go on doing evil and do not regard the majesty of the Lord.
• 13:23
  There's no respect for God. Lord, your hand is lifted high,
• 13:28
  but they do not see it. That's why, you know, they think
• 13:32
  everything is good going on in their lives and they don't see
• 13:35
  that it's just a matter of time. It's just time.
• 13:39
  Let them see your zeal for your people and be put to shame.
• 13:44
  Let the fire reserved for your enemies consume them.
• 13:50
  Lord, you established peace for us.
• 13:53
  Again, it's going to be Jesus establishing peace, not anyone
• 13:57
  else. Lord, you established peace for
• 14:00
  us. All that we have accomplished,
• 14:03
  you have done for us. We have to remember that all
• 14:06
  these good things in our lives that come about, they aren't
• 14:09
  because of something we did. They're actually from God.
• 14:13
  God can use other people and He can give, and He gives us the
• 14:17
  skills and the abilities to accomplish things, but
• 14:21
  ultimately the only way we did it was because God gave it to
• 14:25
  us. God created us that way.
• 14:27
  So ultimately God is to be thanked for everything good in
• 14:31
  our life that we accomplish. Lord our God, other Lords
• 14:35
  besides you have ruled over us. At first I thought this might be
• 14:39
  spiritual, but then when I read more it's not.
• 14:42
  It's it's talking about evil rulers.
• 14:46
  So the study Bible says what other Lords had the Israelites
• 14:49
  served. Isaiah was not talking here
• 14:52
  about other gods. He was talking about foreign
• 14:54
  rulers who either were or would be dead and forgotten.
• 14:58
  Unlike the Lord, who remains very much alive, these invaders
• 15:03
  came from nations such as Egypt, Assyria and Babylon.
• 15:08
  Each. Took a turn ruling the land, but
• 15:12
  the hearts of the righteous remained loyal to God.
• 15:17
  So they had other people ruling over them, evil ones, and that
• 15:20
  was again to bring them to repentance.
• 15:21
  When that happened, they are now dead.
• 15:25
  They live no more. Their spirits do not rise.
• 15:29
  You punished them and brought them to ruin.
• 15:32
  You wiped out all memory of them.
• 15:36
  This kind of nice because there's a couple things here.
• 15:39
  They are dead now, They live no more.
• 15:41
  Their spirits do not rise. So these the spirits of the evil
• 15:46
  ones will not rise until the 1000 years ends and we will talk
• 15:52
  about that a little bit later. But they they don't rise like
• 15:56
  when Jesus returns those who were in Christ.
• 16:00
  Those who are determined to be righteous because of faith, it
• 16:04
  says. By faith, you know these people.
• 16:08
  Even the ones before Jesus, before Jesus was born, they will
• 16:12
  rise and it's by faith. It was credited to righteousness
• 16:16
  and and Jesus's death on the cross covers all those people.
• 16:21
  Back in the Old Testament times before he was ever born, there
• 16:24
  was 1 sacrifice for all people, all the people of the past, all
• 16:28
  the people today and all the people in the future.
• 16:31
  His sacrifice atoned for the sin.
• 16:34
  So that's it. He covered past, present and
• 16:37
  future. And so we don't have to worry
• 16:39
  about the people who, you know, God saw their heart.
• 16:42
  God knew if they were turned to him or not.
• 16:44
  It's by faith, by faith that these people had.
• 16:49
  And we're going to see something else too, which I think is
• 16:51
  really cool about the Old Testament, like in the seven
• 16:55
  hundreds BC in a minute we're going to talk about like
• 16:58
  salvation and having the Spirit of God.
• 17:01
  So you punished them and brought them to ruin.
• 17:04
  You wiped out all memory of them.
• 17:06
  So that's going to be good in the future, that the memory of
• 17:11
  the evil one will be gone like any.
• 17:14
  Rulers that have. Been in the past that they will
• 17:19
  actually no longer be remembered.
• 17:23
  So that's going to be a comfort to people who maybe has some
• 17:26
  horrible times in the past. I just think that's something
• 17:31
  good Like if if you've had a traumatic past that nothing,
• 17:35
  none of that's going to be you're not going to remember
• 17:38
  them. You have enlarged the nation,
• 17:41
  Lord, you have enlarged the nation.
• 17:45
  You have enlarged the nation, Lord, you have enlarged the
• 17:48
  nation. You have gained glory for
• 17:51
  yourself. You have extended all the
• 17:55
  borders of the land. Now isn't this AAI don't know
• 17:59
  what I'm searching for the right word.
• 18:02
  But today we, oh, a couple years ago from the river to the sea.
• 18:07
  And they wanted, and they still do.
• 18:10
  The enemies of God want to wipe out Israel because God promised
• 18:15
  Israel a significant portion of land, or not a significant but a
• 18:19
  bigger piece of land than what they currently have.
• 18:22
  And they have never occupied it all because they haven't.
• 18:27
  Followed God. They haven't.
• 18:30
  Listened and obeyed what he said He would have.
• 18:32
  They would have been given it, but they didn't get it because
• 18:35
  they didn't listen to God. They weren't obedient to God.
• 18:39
  But when Jesus returns, he's going to extend all those
• 18:42
  borders. So all these chants that the
• 18:45
  enemies are talking about, you know, about the extermination of
• 18:49
  Israel, it's not going to happen.
• 18:50
  Bible prophecy tells us it's not going to happen.
• 18:54
  God's going to do the opposite. He's going to make their borders
• 18:57
  grow bigger than what they are today.
• 18:59
  So anybody who's on that side, you're fighting against God if
• 19:03
  you want Israel to be wiped off the map, because that's not
• 19:05
  going to happen and the borders will be greater than they are
• 19:09
  today. Lord, they came to you in their
• 19:12
  distress when you discipline them.
• 19:15
  So this is what they mean. Like God, when he humbles
• 19:18
  people, when he disciplines, says God disciplines his
• 19:23
  children. And when we are disciplined,
• 19:26
  often we come to God because we don't have anything else.
• 19:30
  We, there's nothing else that can help us at that point.
• 19:33
  I know that was what happened with me.
• 19:35
  Not everybody goes through that, but you know, sometimes you have
• 19:39
  to be humbled. And God like took away
• 19:42
  everything that was important to me.
• 19:43
  And that's when I was finally humbled And, and all along he
• 19:48
  was probably trying to get my attention because I think back
• 19:51
  and I think of the different times that people were trying to
• 19:53
  get me more involved in something faith related and I
• 19:56
  pushed it off. I was like busy with other
• 19:58
  things. I had this going on.
• 19:59
  And, you know, mostly it was because I was.
• 20:01
  Thinking about or wanted to spend time with my family and I
• 20:05
  wasn't going to spend time away from them because of work and,
• 20:09
  you know, just your divided time.
• 20:11
  So maybe it wasn't my time with God.
• 20:13
  Maybe was. Maybe I wasn't quite as
• 20:15
  rebellious. I wasn't doing it out of a lack
• 20:18
  of love for God, but I was doing it because I did have other
• 20:21
  priorities, which is probably also not a good thing because
• 20:24
  God should have been my priority at the beginning.
• 20:27
  Now He is and but He wasn't. And I got humbled and that's
• 20:34
  when I turned to God. They could barely whisper a
• 20:37
  prayer. So Lord, they came to you in
• 20:39
  their distress. When you disciplined them, they
• 20:41
  could barely whisper a prayer. As a pregnant woman about to
• 20:46
  give birth rise and cries out in her pain, so were we in your
• 20:52
  presence, Lord, We were with child.
• 20:54
  We writhed in labor, but we gave birth to wind.
• 21:00
  I. Stopped when I read that we gave
• 21:03
  birth to wind. I did not look that one up.
• 21:05
  I wish I did before this, but the first thing I think of is
• 21:08
  wind is often called Rua, which is spirit.
• 21:12
  And sometimes when translations are done, I, I would like to see
• 21:16
  if this actually says Rua wind because that could mean the
• 21:21
  Spirit of God. So, and that made me think about
• 21:25
  we were with child. We arrived in labor, but we gave
• 21:29
  birth to wind. So actually I need to probably
• 21:33
  look that up because before I go on and, and say what I think
• 21:37
  this means, I want to make sure that I'm not just making
• 21:40
  something up in my own mind on this.
• 21:42
  So we're in Isaiah 26, Isaiah 26 and verse 18.
• 21:56
  And I see if you go to blueletterbible.org, you can
• 22:00
  search for a specific scripture and then click on a button to
• 22:03
  the left that's called tools. And when you do that, it will
• 22:06
  show you on the left hand side the actual words.
• 22:11
  Oh, yay. It's what I thought it was.
• 22:13
  It is it's so it says to wind and it is Rua it's strongs 7307.
• 22:22
  Now in the Bible it's there's so many different things that it
• 22:29
  gives you all the definitions like the outline of the biblical
• 22:32
  usage. It can be wind, breath, mind,
• 22:36
  spirit. So those are the things that
• 22:39
  could be the wind of heaven, the quarter of wind on a side, a
• 22:43
  breath of air, air, air or gas, a vein, or an empty thing.
• 22:49
  It can be spirit as that which breathes quickly in animation or
• 22:54
  agitation. So spirit, animation, vivacity,
• 22:57
  vigor, courage, temper, anger, impatience, patience.
• 23:02
  Spirit disposition as troubled, bitter, discontent, disposition
• 23:08
  of various kinds, unaccountable or controlled impulse or
• 23:12
  uncontrollable impulse. Prophetic spirit.
• 23:16
  Spirit of the living, breathing, being in man and animals, a gift
• 23:20
  preserved by God. God's spirit departing at death.
• 23:25
  Disembodied, embodied being. Spirit as a seat of emotion, a
• 23:30
  desire, sorrow, or trouble. Spirit as seat of organ or organ
• 23:37
  of mental acts. Rarely of the will as seat,
• 23:42
  especially of moral character. Spirit of God, the third person
• 23:47
  of the Triune God, the Holy Spirit, coequal Co eternal with
• 23:52
  the Father and the Son. An inspiring ecstatic state of
• 23:55
  prophecy. An as impelling prophet to utter
• 23:59
  an instruction on our warning. Imparting warlike energy and
• 24:03
  executive and administrative power.
• 24:06
  As endowing men with various gifts As energy of life.
• 24:09
  As manifest in the Shekinah glory.
• 24:12
  Never referred to as AD personal force.
• 24:16
  So this is yeah, so it could be spirit or or yeah, spirit or
• 24:23
  spirit wind, breath, side mind blast, vain air, anger, cool
• 24:29
  courage, miscellaneous. So this is those are all the
• 24:34
  different ways that it can be used.
• 24:37
  But here's where but we gave birth to wind.
• 24:42
  So it has something to do with spirit, right.
• 24:45
  And then this is where I think about this is the other
• 24:48
  Scripture, John chapter 3. Jesus said that very truly, I
• 24:55
  tell you, no one can see the Kingdom of God unless they are
• 24:59
  born again. So and then he says flesh gives.
• 25:04
  Birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to Spirit.
• 25:12
  You should not be surprised at my saying you must be born
• 25:16
  again. So this is what Jesus said.
• 25:21
  Now that means that every single one of us, if we want to be in
• 25:24
  the Kingdom of God, we need the Holy Spirit.
• 25:28
  And I find this interesting because this is Isaiah.
• 25:33
  The Book of. Isaiah, not what I'm reading
• 25:35
  now, but we are studying the book of Isaiah chapter 26 that
• 25:39
  was written in the seven hundreds BC and they said we
• 25:42
  were with child, we writhed in labor, but we gave birth to wind
• 25:47
  or ruah, which is Spirit. So they gave birth.
• 25:52
  So did God give the Holy Spirit to these people when you know,
• 25:59
  the people of the Old Testament where they actually have the
• 26:01
  spirit, they've been born again. I mean it, it sounds like that
• 26:05
  to me. And especially when Jesus said
• 26:07
  that's what that's what happened.
• 26:10
  And so I just think that is really like, again, God is so
• 26:16
  good. He's so gracious and there's
• 26:18
  things in the Bible that are these little treasures that I
• 26:20
  think we find when we read it and we see that this is this is
• 26:25
  something that I think is a strong possibility.
• 26:29
  That's my opinion. Again, I, I'm, I don't know if
• 26:32
  we'll, I don't know if anybody could actually prove this.
• 26:36
  So it has to be my opinion, but you can pray about it to God.
• 26:40
  And so people may have been born again, born of the Spirit by
• 26:47
  their faith, like God looked at the righteous acts and that, you
• 26:51
  know, before Jesus came and it was credited to them and they
• 26:55
  had the Holy Spirit. There were certainly stories in
• 26:59
  the Bible when the Spirit came upon the different tribes of
• 27:04
  Israel, when they were in the wilderness, when they were
• 27:08
  traveling for 40 years and they began to prophecy.
• 27:12
  So God didn't withhold his spirit.
• 27:15
  The Spirit was hovering over the waters at the formation of the
• 27:19
  earth or hovering over darkness. Maybe it is that what it was,
• 27:22
  but the Spirit was hovering in the beginning of creation.
• 27:25
  So the Spirit is not just anything new.
• 27:27
  The Spirit of God has been present eternally.
• 27:31
  So this is, I just think that it's something that we should
• 27:38
  really think about. So, but Jesus did say we have to
• 27:40
  be born of the Spirit. And the only way you can be born
• 27:43
  of the Spirit is by your your relationship with God.
• 27:46
  Like there was a man, I think he was called Simeon or something.
• 27:51
  And it's in the book of Acts where the apostles were going
• 27:54
  out and doing all these miracles and this guy wanted the power
• 27:58
  because he was going to profit off of it.
• 28:01
  Like he was a sorcerer. Simon the sorcerer, I think
• 28:03
  that's what he was called. And so he got baptized, but he
• 28:07
  didn't get the Holy Spirit, and he wanted the Holy Spirit.
• 28:10
  And so he asked the disciples to give him the Holy Spirit.
• 28:13
  And the disciples knew enough. They could, they had discernment
• 28:17
  and they're like, you just need to repent and hope that God
• 28:21
  doesn't bring about judgement on you.
• 28:23
  So he did not get the Holy Spirit because God will not give
• 28:27
  his spirit to somebody who is going to be abusive with it,
• 28:31
  somebody who is worldly, somebody who has not surrendered
• 28:34
  to him. So that's why this whole, you
• 28:36
  know, surrender is basically saying I'm going to give up my
• 28:43
  my desires that are not in line with God's commands and I'm not
• 28:48
  going to do those things. And I'm willingly giving that up
• 28:54
  and want God's help in staying away from it in the future,
• 28:59
  doing God's will as opposed to what we want.
• 29:02
  That's what that surrender is. OK, so it says we we have.
• 29:09
  We have not brought salvation to the earth and the people of the
• 29:14
  world have not come to life. So we have not brought salvation
• 29:19
  to the earth, so they can't do it by their.
• 29:22
  Works, they can't save themselves.
• 29:25
  That's why God had to save them because they were disobedient
• 29:29
  just like we are. We break His commandments until
• 29:33
  we have the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit begins to change
• 29:36
  that in our life. We don't keep on sinning because
• 29:39
  when the Holy Spirit comes into our life, the Holy Spirit starts
• 29:42
  to change us and it may be gradual, but we don't stay in
• 29:45
  the same thing. We don't stay in the same
• 29:47
  condition. We become a new creation.
• 29:51
  So anyway, we and we don't get salvation because of our works.
• 29:57
  The only thing that we can do by our works is we're just showing
• 30:01
  God that we love him by doing that.
• 30:03
  When we are obedient to God and when we do things for other
• 30:07
  people, we are, you know, just we are God's hands and feet on
• 30:13
  earth. Basically we're, we're just
• 30:16
  carrying out the will of God by doing that because that's what
• 30:20
  God would do if he was physically here on earth.
• 30:25
  He's spiritually here and available, but physically he's
• 30:30
  not. Only when Jesus was here.
• 30:32
  Was the physical. Part and actually, I think at
• 30:34
  the very beginning in Genesis, before sin entered the world,
• 30:37
  God was with the people. OK, going to verse 19, but
• 30:43
  you're, you're dead. So these are the dead in Christ,
• 30:47
  right? But your dead will live, Lord,
• 30:51
  their bodies will rise. Let those who dwell in the dust
• 30:57
  wake up and shout for joy. Your dew is like the morning dew
• 31:03
  is like the dew of the morning. The earth will give birth to her
• 31:07
  dead. This is what's going to happen
• 31:10
  when Jesus returns. That's why I said this is about
• 31:12
  the return of Jesus. It's the resurrection.
• 31:16
  People will rise. They're going to come out of
• 31:18
  their grave when Jesus comes on the clouds and returns back to
• 31:23
  earth. This is going to be this like
• 31:25
  wildest time ever and people that the people that haven't
• 31:30
  prepared themselves, they are going to, but they probably
• 31:34
  heard about this. That's when they are going to
• 31:37
  realize, Oh my gosh, I didn't take this seriously and the time
• 31:42
  is now here. That's when they're going to
• 31:44
  hide because they, if they know enough, they're going to know
• 31:47
  that whoever doesn't go up with Christ is going to experience
• 31:54
  the wrath of God. So that's when reality is going
• 31:58
  to sink in. And that's why it says in the
• 32:01
  6th seal people like crawling under the rocks and in caves and
• 32:06
  things and telling the rocks to fall on them to hide us from the
• 32:10
  face of the lamb, which is Jesus and his wrath, the wrath of the,
• 32:15
  that of God that's coming upon the people.
• 32:17
  So they knew the word like you can see in scripture, they knew
• 32:22
  what was going to happen. They, they were hiding for fear
• 32:25
  of God. If you have a good relationship
• 32:28
  with God, you're not, you're not fearful of them.
• 32:30
  Think about this like if you have fear of someone, that means
• 32:34
  you don't have a good relationship with them, right?
• 32:37
  Like if you have a good relationship with somebody
• 32:39
  powerful and strong, you, they're your protector.
• 32:44
  They're not somebody you fear. So that's how people who have a
• 32:48
  good relationship with God, there's No Fear.
• 32:51
  Like when Jesus comes, there's going to be people cheering and
• 32:54
  there's going to people panicking.
• 32:57
  There's going to be two different people, the ones who
• 32:59
  have prepared themselves, who are born again, who have the
• 33:02
  Holy Spirit are going to be, thank God you've arrived.
• 33:06
  And now begins this wonderful rest of the existence of our
• 33:13
  lives, the eternal existence of our lives.
• 33:15
  Plus we get new bodies at that point, so that'll be a good
• 33:19
  thing. All the brokenness of our
• 33:21
  current ones will go away and we will have spiritual, not not
• 33:26
  spirit. Well, we're going to have
• 33:27
  physical bodies, but they will not be broken.
• 33:30
  So that's a very good thing and something to look forward to.
• 33:34
  But all the people who had, who had been dead, are going to come
• 33:38
  out of their graves when Jesus returns.
• 33:41
  That's just very cool. All right, so it says this is
• 33:46
  the other thing. Go my people, enter your rooms
• 33:50
  and shut the doors behind you, hide yourselves for a little
• 33:54
  while until his wrath has passed by.
• 33:58
  So I, you know, this is again, I mean, there's so many times
• 34:03
  where it talks about this wedding and the wedding banquet.
• 34:07
  We talked about that in the last chapter and about people who
• 34:10
  were prepared and were welcomed in and then others who came to
• 34:14
  the door and the door was shut. And he said, depart from me, you
• 34:17
  evil doers. So some people who call
• 34:21
  themselves Christians but don't live according to God's will are
• 34:26
  going to be shut out. They're going to, they can't
• 34:28
  come in, they're not ready. They have to go through the fire
• 34:32
  before they're purified. So there are going to be people,
• 34:36
  the unprepared people, the people who didn't listen ahead
• 34:39
  of time, who didn't prepare themselves.
• 34:42
  They're going to be here on earth and they're going to be
• 34:43
  going through the wrath of God and the wrath of God.
• 34:47
  I wouldn't want to go through it when you read what it's all
• 34:50
  about. I would definitely do everything
• 34:53
  possible which I am doing to be prepared and remain prepared for
• 35:01
  the return of Christ. We should live every day that in
• 35:05
  in preparation, just, you know, really pay attention to how we
• 35:09
  live our lives. I mean, it's very, very
• 35:11
  important. So but it says go my people,
• 35:16
  enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you, hide yourself
• 35:19
  for a little while until his wrath has passed.
• 35:22
  I think about Scripture where Jesus said my father has many
• 35:25
  rooms and I'm going to prepare a place for you and I will return
• 35:30
  for you. I think all of this he was
• 35:32
  talking to his disciples at that point, but I think that applies
• 35:35
  to all people who have been who have, you know, prepared
• 35:42
  themselves to be in the presence who have the Holy Spirit.
• 35:46
  Okay, the people who have the Holy Spirit and it and, and it,
• 35:51
  we're going to be with God. Like when he, you know, we rise.
• 35:55
  Even some who are not, who didn't even experience death.
• 35:58
  People 1st come out of the graves, then people who are
• 36:01
  alive go and meet with Jesus in the sky.
• 36:05
  So I think we actually go to a place in heaven somewhere with
• 36:11
  Jesus until the wrath is completed.
• 36:15
  I did wonder at one point is, are we going to be here on earth
• 36:19
  just hidden away in our rooms? And I don't think that's likely.
• 36:24
  I think that's probably with the destruction that's going to come
• 36:28
  upon. I just think that, you know, God
• 36:30
  could certainly protect us here on earth.
• 36:33
  But I really think it Scripture tells us that it's going to be
• 36:38
  in the heavenly realm with him. And remember, we're going to get
• 36:43
  in immortal bodies at that point.
• 36:45
  So it's not like our spirits are just going to go up to meet him.
• 36:49
  No, we will have bodies and go to meet with him.
• 36:53
  So this is this is really for people who have the holy.
• 36:57
  Spirit this is. So exciting and, and God will
• 37:02
  give you the spirit if you, if you decide that you want to
• 37:05
  follow his will. And you know, it says like count
• 37:08
  your before you make a decision on it, know what it's going to
• 37:12
  cost you. And it does say that we have to
• 37:15
  pick up our cross daily. So it's not like it's completely
• 37:18
  easy. It's not just saying a word
• 37:20
  that, OK, God, we surrender to you and now we want the Holy
• 37:24
  Spirit. It's like when we are faced with
• 37:27
  those choices, God's going to test us.
• 37:29
  He's going to he's going to see, are we ready?
• 37:33
  What choice do we make? Do we follow God or do we choose
• 37:36
  something selfish? So there's a there's a process
• 37:40
  and we can ask God and you know, maybe during that process, we
• 37:44
  just say, like, this is a hard decision for me.
• 37:46
  I really want to do this. But God, please help me with
• 37:50
  this. Send your Holy Spirit, give me
• 37:51
  strength so I can overcome this, because it does say that we can
• 37:55
  overcome temptation like he never tempts us greater than
• 37:59
  what we can endure. And he also gives us a way out.
• 38:05
  So if we say, oh, it's impossible, I can't do it.
• 38:08
  That's because we're relying on ourselves and we're not relying
• 38:11
  on God. And the Word of God says he's
• 38:13
  not going to do that. He's going to give you a way out
• 38:16
  so that you can avoid the temptation.
• 38:19
  So then it says, see, the Lord is coming out of his dwelling to
• 38:24
  punish the people of the earth. What for?
• 38:29
  For their sins, the earth will disclose the blood shed on it.
• 38:34
  The earth will conceal its slain no longer.
• 38:38
  So this that's the end of chapter 26.
• 38:42
  And like I said, there are other chapters that I think I did read
• 38:47
  John chapter 3, but I also want to I read part of it.
• 38:52
  I want to read John chapter 14 and I'm going to read that whole
• 38:56
  chapter because this is again, like Jesus comforting his
• 39:01
  disciples and he's talking about the second coming.
• 39:04
  He's talking about when he returns, and this is what he
• 39:07
  told his closer, closest followers.
• 39:11
  You can find that in John chapter 14.
• 39:13
  So I'm going to read that now. Jesus comforts his disciples.
• 39:17
  Do not let your hearts be troubled.
• 39:19
  You believe in God, believe also in me.
• 39:23
  My Father's house has many rooms.
• 39:27
  If that were not so, would I have told you that I am going
• 39:31
  there to prepare a place for you?
• 39:34
  So he's telling his disciples that.
• 39:36
  But I think this also applies to the believers that will be going
• 39:41
  to meet Him in the sky. What's he going to do with them?
• 39:44
  You know, he's all this time that he's been away, He's been
• 39:47
  preparing something for this day, the day of the Lord.
• 39:53
  Think about that. And if I go and prepare a place
• 39:57
  for you, I will come back and take you to be with me, that you
• 40:05
  also may be where I am. You know the way to the place
• 40:11
  where I'm going. So isn't that neat?
• 40:14
  Jesus is coming back for his friends.
• 40:16
  Basically, if you have a relationship with God, if you
• 40:18
  love God, if you have the Holy Spirit, he is coming back to
• 40:22
  take you to the heavenly realms. He said he told his disciples,
• 40:26
  and this is written down in Scripture so that we can all see
• 40:29
  this and God doesn't show favoritism.
• 40:32
  And I think this applies to all of us beyond just his disciples,
• 40:38
  because we would consider ourselves disciples if we are
• 40:41
  following the way of Jesus, if we are choosing to live the way
• 40:46
  Jesus would want us to live, then we are disciples.
• 40:49
  We are learning from Christ. And that's one of the things the
• 40:52
  Great Commission was to go and make disciples of people, not go
• 40:57
  and make teacher or leaders or anything else.
• 41:01
  It's go and make disciples, go and make people who study the
• 41:04
  word of God, people who follow it.
• 41:06
  That's what the Great Commission is, is get people into the word,
• 41:10
  get people to read the word, get people to turn to God.
• 41:15
  So continuing on in chapter 14, Jesus the way to the Father,
• 41:19
  Thomas said to him, Lord, we don't know where you are going,
• 41:23
  so how can we know the way? Jesus answered, I am the way and
• 41:29
  the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father
• 41:33
  except through me. If you really know me, you will
• 41:37
  know my Father as well from now on.
• 41:43
  From now on, you do know him and have seen him, Philip said.
• 41:49
  Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.
• 41:53
  Jesus answered. Don't you know me, Philip?
• 41:57
  Even after I have been among you such a long time, anyone who has
• 42:02
  seen me has seen the Father. How can you say show us the
• 42:07
  Father? Don't you believe that I am in
• 42:12
  the Father and that the Father is in me?
• 42:17
  The words I say to you, I do not speak on my own authority.
• 42:21
  Rather it is the Father living in me who is doing his work.
• 42:26
  You know, that's like the whole, that's the Holy Spirit residing
• 42:28
  in God. And that's how we are one with
• 42:33
  with God as well when we have the Holy Spirit.
• 42:37
  Because that's one of the things that Jesus prayed to the Father
• 42:40
  before his death. He prayed that they us, all of
• 42:45
  us could be one with him and the Father as they are 1.
• 42:50
  So there is something about you and that's there's something
• 42:53
  about this unification, that of the spirit of 1 spirit, because
• 42:58
  it is one spirit, it's the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit of God
• 43:02
  that dwells within people. There's a connection, it's a
• 43:06
  supernatural connection and that's all I can maybe describe
• 43:10
  it as. But then God can, when you're
• 43:14
  submitted to God, God can work through you.
• 43:16
  That's why some people can do miracles, some people can
• 43:19
  prophecy, some people can do these different things because
• 43:24
  of God's Spirit. Nobody does it on their own.
• 43:26
  There aren't these like special people in the world.
• 43:28
  The only special people, why they're considered special or
• 43:31
  you consider them Saints, is because they've surrendered
• 43:34
  their whole life to God and God works through them.
• 43:37
  They are just normal, regular human beings.
• 43:39
  But the difference is they surrender to God and they love
• 43:43
  God, so they obey God. So any single one of us can also
• 43:47
  be that special person if we surrender our selfishness and
• 43:54
  grow close to God. God can work through us too.
• 43:58
  Every single person who knows what he's going to do with you,
• 44:00
  He, you know, he has a purpose for every single person.
• 44:03
  And when we seek Him, then let us know what that purpose is.
• 44:07
  So he, Jesus, continues to say, believe me when I say that I am
• 44:13
  in the Father and the Father is in me.
• 44:16
  Or at least believe on the evidence of the works
• 44:19
  themselves. You know, like if there's
• 44:21
  miracles happening, it's God who's doing that.
• 44:24
  Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works
• 44:31
  I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than
• 44:37
  these because I'm going to the Father.
• 44:40
  So isn't that interesting? Jesus says that we're going to
• 44:42
  do greater things than what Jesus did.
• 44:45
  Why? Not on our own power, but the
• 44:47
  power of the Holy Spirit. And it takes us being submitted
• 44:52
  to God, us being obedient. God's not going to give His
• 44:55
  Spirit to somebody who's disobedient.
• 44:57
  He can't trust the person with the Spirit.
• 45:00
  If they're disobedient, what are they going to do with it?
• 45:03
  They would do something harmful with it.
• 45:05
  So God is going to trust the people He knows are obedient to
• 45:08
  Him and are surrendered to Him, and those people will have the
• 45:12
  Holy Spirit. So Jesus says, and I will do
• 45:17
  whatever you ask in my name. That's why people pray and say
• 45:22
  in the name of Jesus, I will do whatever you ask in my name, so
• 45:27
  that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
• 45:31
  So everything, all miracles are for the glory of God.
• 45:36
  God wants to be known. That's the reason behind any
• 45:41
  kind of miracles. It's not for the actual thing
• 45:44
  that happens, although that's a blessing, but it's not for that
• 45:47
  purpose. The greater purpose is so that
• 45:51
  God is revealed, so that God is glorified.
• 45:55
  You may ask me, Jesus says you may ask me for anything in my
• 46:00
  name and I will do it. Now we can't take that
• 46:04
  completely literal because Jesus isn't going to do things that
• 46:07
  are against God's will. So we have to know that whatever
• 46:09
  we're asking for has to be in God's will.
• 46:14
  But he says if it's if we know what we're asking for is in
• 46:18
  God's will in the name of Jesus, ask for anything in my name and
• 46:23
  I will do it. I guess one thing that we have
• 46:27
  to know is that, you know, if you want prayers answered, you
• 46:32
  better first look at how obedient are you to God, How
• 46:36
  surrendered are you to God? And if you have things that you
• 46:41
  need to work on to get rid of your life, get the sin out of
• 46:45
  your life. Do that before you start asking
• 46:47
  for something or expecting something to be answered.
• 46:50
  Because you know, why would why would God do it?
• 46:53
  If you're like sinning all the time and then you say, but God,
• 46:56
  I really want this. This is in your will.
• 46:58
  Like maybe he'll do it, maybe he won't, I don't know.
• 47:03
  So then Jesus says, if you love me, keep my commands.
• 47:07
  So we can't get away from the obedience of the 10 commandments
• 47:11
  or anything that Jesus said if you love me, obey my commands.
• 47:15
  So we always need to think, you know, is this something that
• 47:19
  Jesus would permit? The only way that God would
• 47:21
  permit, the only way we can know that is by reading the Bible to
• 47:24
  know what's in the Bible. And it would be it's just
• 47:27
  foolish. And we lack wisdom if we don't
• 47:29
  stay in the word because we don't study what the laws of God
• 47:34
  are. I mean, that's, that's like a
• 47:36
  blessing. That's like a power that you get
• 47:38
  from reading the word. You start, you get wisdom, you
• 47:43
  get knowledge actually. But then when you apply it to
• 47:45
  your life, that's wisdom and it there's AI think Solomon said,
• 47:51
  you know, whatever you do, or it might be proverbs, I can't
• 47:54
  remember, but it just says like seek wisdom.
• 47:57
  The greatest thing you can do is seek wisdom.
• 48:01
  And so anyway, Jesus continues, Well, I I'm going to start
• 48:04
  again. If you love me, keep my commands
• 48:06
  and I will ask the Father, and He will give you another
• 48:11
  advocate to help you and to be with you forever.
• 48:15
  The spirit of truth, the world cannot accept Him because it
• 48:21
  neither sees him nor knows Him. But you know him, for He lives
• 48:27
  with you, probably referring to Jesus himself and will be in
• 48:33
  you. So the indwelling of the Spirit,
• 48:37
  the spirit of truth, I think that's kind of interesting too.
• 48:39
  So the spirit of truth, I want to look at that in the blue
• 48:46
  letter Bible where it says, I don't know, that's interesting.
• 48:55
  OK, so this is something that you do.
• 48:57
  OK, there it is, the Spirit, the Numa.
• 49:00
  OK, we're in the Greek now. So Numa is different from Rua,
• 49:04
  but I guess that's a comparison. But Numa is the spirit.
• 49:07
  And then of truth, let's see what that says.
• 49:12
  Truth, truly true. Verity, something in truth.
• 49:16
  Certainty. What is true at pertaining to
• 49:18
  God and the duties of man. Moral and religious truth.
• 49:22
  The truth is taught in the Christian religion, respecting
• 49:25
  God and the execution of His purposes through Christ and
• 49:28
  respecting the duties of man, opposing alike the superstitions
• 49:32
  of the Gentiles and the intentions of the Jews and the
• 49:35
  corrupt opinions and precepts of false teachers even among
• 49:38
  Christians. So knowing, I guess discernment
• 49:43
  really is what that would apply to.
• 49:45
  That's what it sounds like to me, that you will get
• 49:49
  discernment, the spirit of discernment, of knowing what is
• 49:53
  true and what is not true. I will not leave you as orphans.
• 49:58
  I will come to you. So look at this too.
• 50:03
  Jesus will come. Before long the world will not
• 50:07
  see me anymore. See, Jesus knew he was going to
• 50:09
  die, but you will see me because I live.
• 50:14
  You will also live. So after he died on the cross,
• 50:18
  he came back and he met with his friends in an upper room that
• 50:23
  was locked and came into it without anybody unlocking the
• 50:26
  door. He just appeared there and then
• 50:28
  he also met with I think a group of like 500 people at one point
• 50:33
  that saw him and various people along the way.
• 50:37
  He came back and it was a. Over a period of I think 40
• 50:39
  days. 40 or 50 days, I think it was 40 days.
• 50:43
  He was appearing to people and people were eating with him and
• 50:46
  drinking. I, I get not drinking, but maybe
• 50:50
  having water or something because he also said that he
• 50:53
  would never, he's not going to drink of the wine until he has
• 50:57
  it with his friends. I think at the wedding supper.
• 51:00
  So but he that's what he says, before long the world will not
• 51:04
  see me anymore because he died, but you will see me.
• 51:07
  So because he returned, because I live, you will also live.
• 51:10
  So Jesus is living. He was eating with them, I think
• 51:14
  by the side of the the Dead Sea one time when he multiplied
• 51:19
  loaves of bread. I think that's if I'm not
• 51:22
  getting it out of order that I think that was after his
• 51:25
  resurrection, but I'm not quite sure.
• 51:28
  But anyway, he was, he definitely, I know I looked that
• 51:30
  up in Scripture. He definitely was eating food.
• 51:33
  Jesus was. So it's not this like spirit
• 51:36
  invisible transparent body that you can see through and it's
• 51:40
  just like a representation of something.
• 51:42
  No, this is a physical actual body, but immortal.
• 51:46
  And Jesus was the evidence. And you know, if we're going to
• 51:49
  be like Jesus and we're going to live like Jesus and we're going
• 51:52
  to be in this like immortal body, apparently we don't have
• 51:55
  to go through doors anymore. We can just appear in rooms like
• 51:58
  Jesus did. I don't know.
• 52:00
  I mean, that's what he did. So is he.
• 52:02
  He's the example of what we have to look forward to.
• 52:04
  So it's going to be totally different than what we know
• 52:08
  today. So on that day, this is probably
• 52:11
  the day of the Lord or whenever he returns to them, you will
• 52:14
  realize that I am in my Father and you are in me and I am in
• 52:21
  you. This is, I guess that that
• 52:24
  spiritual connection that people who have the Holy Spirit have
• 52:29
  with God. We become one with God.
• 52:32
  Whoever has my commands and keeps them, remember keeps them.
• 52:38
  Were obedient to his commands is the one who loves me.
• 52:43
  The one who loves me will be loved by my Father and I too
• 52:49
  will love them and show myself to them.
• 52:53
  So God will reveal, Jesus will reveal himself to the ones who
• 53:01
  keep the commands and show him that we love Him.
• 53:05
  Then Judas, not Judas, Iscariot said.
• 53:09
  But Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to
• 53:13
  the world? Jesus replied.
• 53:16
  Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.
• 53:21
  My Father will love them and we will come to them and make our
• 53:27
  home with them. So I think you know what that
• 53:30
  does apply when Jesus goes to prepare a place for his
• 53:33
  disciples. I think this and this applies to
• 53:36
  anyone who loves me will obey my teaching and and then they're
• 53:41
  welcomed in God's home. So any of us who obey God and
• 53:47
  have the Holy Spirit will be taken into the place that Jesus
• 53:52
  has made. And God doesn't do anything
• 53:56
  halfway. Anything he does is spectacular.
• 53:59
  So I can't even imagine what God has prepared.
• 54:04
  Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching.
• 54:08
  So lack of obedience to God's teaching is basically saying I
• 54:13
  don't love you God. These words you hear are not my
• 54:17
  own. They belong to the Father who
• 54:20
  sent me. All this I have spoken while
• 54:23
  still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy
• 54:27
  Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name will teach you
• 54:32
  all these things, all things, and will remind you of
• 54:36
  everything I have said to you. I think the Holy Spirit does
• 54:40
  that when we read scripture and then certain other scripture
• 54:44
  comes to mind or we recall something else that's in
• 54:48
  scripture. Like I experienced that now and
• 54:51
  I can tell you that my memory is not that great.
• 54:54
  I forget like certain words sometimes and and I'm like,
• 54:57
  gosh, what's going on with me? But when I get into scripture, I
• 55:01
  have no problem like that. I'm just like flooded with like,
• 55:05
  Oh, this is a connection here in this book.
• 55:07
  And this was say stated here, I don't know where these things
• 55:10
  are. I have to go to an electronic
• 55:11
  Bible, to our digital Bible and search the words that come to
• 55:15
  mind. And then I can find these other
• 55:17
  chapters and things. But I know them.
• 55:19
  I just don't know exactly where they are in the Bible.
• 55:22
  And this is only, you know, been since 2019.
• 55:26
  I've been reading the Bible much daily And, and it, it's, I
• 55:32
  didn't have this recollection before.
• 55:34
  I didn't know any of this stuff. And it just happens.
• 55:36
  And I think the more you're in the word of God, the more that
• 55:38
  will happen. Even people who don't have great
• 55:40
  memories because again, it's not us, it's God.
• 55:44
  I think it's the Holy Spirit bringing these things to our
• 55:46
  minds. Jesus continues to say, peace I
• 55:50
  leave with you, my peace I give you.
• 55:53
  I do not give you as the world gives.
• 55:56
  Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
• 56:00
  All throughout the Bible it always says have No Fear.
• 56:03
  No Fear. Actually John Reddick has a
• 56:06
  really good song out called No Fear.
• 56:07
  You might want to check it out, but it's just No Fear John
• 56:11
  Reddick. And that's you know the the
• 56:13
  mighty name of Jesus. OK, so you heard me say I am
• 56:18
  going away and I am coming back to you.
• 56:21
  If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the
• 56:25
  Father for the Father is greater than I.
• 56:29
  That is interesting. So that really stands out.
• 56:33
  I don't know if we do have the the actual good understanding of
• 56:37
  Scripture that we've been taught.
• 56:39
  I think the word of God really just tells us because you know
• 56:43
  it. He says here the father is
• 56:46
  greater than I and Jesus always like said to worship the father,
• 56:51
  but he's also in the Father. He is the he is the Son of God
• 56:57
  and by the Son, I guess, you know, there's, there's just this
• 57:01
  mystery of the father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• 57:05
  And but the Holy Spirit connects them.
• 57:07
  The Holy Spirit is how Jesus was conceived.
• 57:10
  So Mary didn't Joseph was not the dad.
• 57:13
  He was like a stepdad for Jesus. The Holy Spirit enabled Mary to
• 57:19
  have a baby and so that he was, you know, human because Mary
• 57:26
  gave birth to him, but he was also God because the Spirit of
• 57:30
  God was of him. So he's he's both God and human.
• 57:37
  And so that is a great mystery because we don't have a lot of
• 57:42
  that. He was conceived of the Holy
• 57:44
  Spirit. So but he, he does the Father's
• 57:49
  will, Jesus does the Father's will.
• 57:52
  He's he's spoken to the Father saying not your will, but mine.
• 57:56
  So I, you know, there is a great mystery and whether it's just
• 58:00
  that I don't interpret Scripture correctly.
• 58:03
  Maybe that is, but God knows my heart.
• 58:05
  I'm trying to understand this great mystery, but the two of
• 58:09
  them talk together and and then he also says that we're going to
• 58:14
  be like brothers and sisters to him.
• 58:16
  But the father is, is different. So I believe there is God the
• 58:21
  Father and his son, Jesus and the Holy Spirit that connects
• 58:27
  all of this. So and then connects all of us
• 58:30
  to him where we will actually be one in spirit with them in the
• 58:37
  future. And that's from reading the
• 58:38
  Bible. It's not from what anybody
• 58:40
  taught me. And pray about that.
• 58:42
  Don't just take my word. Look into it yourself.
• 58:44
  But these are things that my eyes are opening up to.
• 58:46
  So John 14 verse 28 is the one that says you heard me say I am
• 58:51
  going away and and I'm coming back to you.
• 58:54
  If you loved me, you would be glad that I'm going to the
• 58:57
  Father, for the Father is greater than I.
• 59:02
  So John chapter 14, verse 29, I have told you now before it
• 59:07
  happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe.
• 59:12
  I will not say much more to you. For the Prince of this world is
• 59:15
  coming. That's referring to Satan, I
• 59:18
  believe. He has no hold over me, but He
• 59:22
  comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and
• 59:29
  do exactly what my Father has commanded me.
• 59:34
  Come now, let us leave. So Jesus is obedient to the
• 59:37
  Father and that I don't know, that's just amazing and
• 59:42
  insightful to me because I don't know that all churches teach
• 59:46
  everything, but just get in the word of God and and search it
• 59:49
  more and pray about it. So the other thing is that we
• 59:56
  were talked about like the people.
• 59:59
  So the people who have prepared themselves will raise from the
• 1:00:02
  dead, and the living people who are alive, when Jesus returns
• 1:00:05
  will go up to meet him, to be gathered to him, and I believe
• 1:00:08
  will go into this place where God has prepared rooms for
• 1:00:11
  everyone. But then the people who had
• 1:00:14
  rejected him and the evil ones, they're still dead in the earth.
• 1:00:18
  They don't rise. They rise after the 1000 years.
• 1:00:22
  And so I wanted to read a little bit about these thousand years
• 1:00:27
  just to give some insight. And actually, there's only,
• 1:00:33
  well, it occurs 27 times in 12 verses, and then there's 10
• 1:00:38
  exact verses that are shown first.
• 1:00:40
  So I'm just going to read these 10 things.
• 1:00:42
  In Psalm 90, it says 1000 years in your site are like a day that
• 1:00:48
  has just gone by or like a watch in the night.
• 1:00:51
  So to God, because of eternity, 1000 years is like a day.
• 1:00:55
  And there's also this like mathematical formula that many
• 1:00:59
  are applying to the Bible. And even the ancient people who
• 1:01:04
  studied the Bible, who believed, who wrote these things down,
• 1:01:08
  they believed it too. They believe that mankind has
• 1:01:10
  6000 years or six days to complete whatever it is humanity
• 1:01:16
  does. And then at that point, that is
• 1:01:18
  when Jesus will return. And then the last thousand years
• 1:01:23
  will be with Jesus reigning as king.
• 1:01:25
  So there will be a complete 7000 years or seven days, because a
• 1:01:31
  day is like 1000 years to God. So just interesting stuff.
• 1:01:36
  Even if he lives 1000 years twice over but fails to enjoy
• 1:01:40
  his prosperity, do they not do not all go to the same place?
• 1:01:45
  That's Ecclesiastes. So Solomon wrote that, but do
• 1:01:49
  not forget this one thing, dear friends with the Lord, A day is
• 1:01:53
  like 1000 years and 1000 years are like a day.
• 1:01:57
  So Peter said that in chapter 3 verse 8.
• 1:02:01
  Then in Revelation it says he seized the dragon, the that
• 1:02:07
  ancient serpent who is the devil or Satan and bound him for 1000
• 1:02:13
  years. So when Jesus returns and his
• 1:02:15
  wrath is completed before he reigns for the 1000 years, the
• 1:02:21
  devil is going to be bound up for 1000.
• 1:02:24
  Years so. And so he can't tempt people
• 1:02:28
  anymore. So people will have this second
• 1:02:30
  chance during that thousand years.
• 1:02:32
  Any other survivors, anybody who dies, if you die without Christ,
• 1:02:37
  without believing, then you're not going to have a second
• 1:02:40
  chance. But the people who survive on
• 1:02:42
  the earth survive through the wrath of God.
• 1:02:44
  I don't know how, unless maybe they turn to God and repent of
• 1:02:50
  their sins, but it says most people will not do that.
• 1:02:53
  So but there's going to be very few survivors.
• 1:02:56
  So there will be some though. But this is talking about Jesus.
• 1:03:00
  He in Revelation 20, he threw him into the abyss and locked
• 1:03:06
  and sealed it over him to keep him from deceiving the nation's
• 1:03:10
  anymore until the 1000 years were ended.
• 1:03:14
  After that he must be free, set free for a short time.
• 1:03:19
  I don't know why. That's must be God's law.
• 1:03:21
  We don't know the reasons why behind everything that's said in
• 1:03:25
  Scripture. But that's what it says.
• 1:03:27
  Jesus is going to throw Satan into the place called the Abyss,
• 1:03:31
  and he's going to be locked and sealed.
• 1:03:33
  So he can't. Go out to people at that point
• 1:03:37
  and but after that he's going to be set free for a short time.
• 1:03:42
  I saw and then in Revelation 20 chapter 4, I saw this is John
• 1:03:46
  talking about. I saw Thrones on which were
• 1:03:48
  seated. Those who had been given
• 1:03:51
  authority to judge. So God's going to give some
• 1:03:54
  authority to people that are authority to Psalm.
• 1:03:58
  I don't know if they're people or not.
• 1:04:00
  I think they're people, but maybe not to judge.
• 1:04:03
  And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of
• 1:04:09
  their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God.
• 1:04:13
  You know, today people are being beheaded because they're
• 1:04:16
  Christians. This is happening in certain the
• 1:04:19
  Muslims are the ones who are doing this to people and it's
• 1:04:22
  happening all over the world. But it's not really getting a
• 1:04:24
  lot of press, but some are. You can search that search
• 1:04:30
  online social media and find out because people are being
• 1:04:33
  beheaded. Christians are being beheaded
• 1:04:35
  about and so that they, you know, to be beheaded, they're
• 1:04:39
  they're believing in Jesus. And because of the word of the
• 1:04:41
  God now it says they had not worshipped the beast or its
• 1:04:48
  image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their
• 1:04:52
  hands. They came to life and reigned
• 1:04:56
  with Christ 1000 years. So the people who get killed
• 1:05:02
  because of their belief in Jesus, they're going to be
• 1:05:06
  reigning with Christ during this thousand years.
• 1:05:10
  And notice that it says the ones who didn't worship the beast.
• 1:05:14
  So there's going to be something that we are required to take
• 1:05:19
  some sort of a mark and it says on their foreheads or their
• 1:05:22
  hands where we can't buy or sell without it.
• 1:05:25
  And if we choose to, as you know, as I say, love the world,
• 1:05:31
  you know, I mean, we're going to just have to we're going to have
• 1:05:33
  to say like we cannot operate in society if we don't have this
• 1:05:38
  mark. So a lot of people are going to
• 1:05:39
  say, I've got to do this, whatever it is.
• 1:05:42
  And but if you do that, that means you are, there's no
• 1:05:46
  forgiveness after that. You are eternally separated from
• 1:05:50
  God that you are not forgiven. I don't know if there's going to
• 1:05:53
  be like something genetically, we've got all this kind of like
• 1:05:55
  transhuman stuff that's happening now and technology.
• 1:06:00
  And I don't know if it, it just like does something to our
• 1:06:02
  bodies or to our minds or something that prevents us from
• 1:06:06
  ever turning to God. It could perhaps do that.
• 1:06:08
  Maybe that's why it can't be forgiven, because it can't be
• 1:06:11
  undone, because it will affect our physical body.
• 1:06:14
  But whatever it is, we cannot accept whatever this future mark
• 1:06:20
  is that will enable us to participate in the world.
• 1:06:24
  We're going to have to accept our own death if it comes to
• 1:06:27
  that be, you know, if Jesus doesn't, if we I don't, I think
• 1:06:34
  Jesus returns before it gathers as people before this happens,
• 1:06:40
  but I'm really not sure. And there's a lot of people that
• 1:06:45
  I, I think we are going to see what they call the Antichrist of
• 1:06:48
  the laws one and are the, the one who's going to have a
• 1:06:52
  require everybody to take this Mark, I think we are, I'm, you
• 1:06:56
  know, the way I read scripture, it clearly to me says that we
• 1:06:59
  are going to know who this person is.
• 1:07:01
  Now, at what point Jesus returns after that person is known, I am
• 1:07:08
  not sure. I don't know how long we have to
• 1:07:10
  endure. Do we have to endure 3 1/2
• 1:07:12
  years? Maybe Do we have to endure a
• 1:07:15
  shorter period of time? Maybe.
• 1:07:18
  I'm not sure, but whatever. We're going to have to endure
• 1:07:21
  some amount of time. But at that point, when this
• 1:07:26
  person is revealed, that's when we know that Jesus will be
• 1:07:29
  returning. There's a lot of people who
• 1:07:31
  don't see it that way. They've been taught a different
• 1:07:34
  way and they think they're not going to see the Antichrist.
• 1:07:38
  So anybody who knows and re scripture and realizes that we
• 1:07:44
  are going to see the Antichrist, then hopefully everyone who
• 1:07:48
  knows that will help the people who thought they were going to
• 1:07:52
  be gone before that happened and encourage them in faith to say
• 1:07:56
  that, you know, no, the Bible doesn't say that.
• 1:07:59
  You were just taught something that wasn't true.
• 1:08:02
  But we are going to be removed before wrath.
• 1:08:04
  So I'm going to talk about that part.
• 1:08:06
  But God's wrath, we do not suffer God's wrath.
• 1:08:08
  But it very clearly, because I really, really studied this and
• 1:08:13
  it's amazing when you talk to anybody who has it ingrained in
• 1:08:17
  their mind that they're not going to see the Antichrist, how
• 1:08:19
  angry they get when you try to show them.
• 1:08:21
  And it's so clear in scripture. I came into this with no
• 1:08:25
  preconceived notions about what to expect.
• 1:08:28
  I was just seeking to learn. And so I was listening to what
• 1:08:32
  everybody said and and I, you know, had my own thoughts about
• 1:08:36
  it. But then as I read Scripture,
• 1:08:38
  I'm like, I don't know if I believe really what anybody has
• 1:08:41
  said, because to me, I'm just going to go by what scripture
• 1:08:44
  says. And scripture does say that, you
• 1:08:46
  know, there's going to be a falling away from people of
• 1:08:48
  faith there. The lawless 1 is going to be
• 1:08:51
  revealed. And then after that is when
• 1:08:53
  Jesus will appear on the clouds. So search for yourself if you
• 1:08:58
  don't believe me. But we are going to see this
• 1:09:01
  Antichrist and and we just cannot accept cannot take the
• 1:09:07
  mark. I think the, the whole C-19
• 1:09:14
  thing that we went through was a trial run.
• 1:09:17
  And so anybody who agreed to take the the shot really needs
• 1:09:23
  to make sure that you are strong in Christ.
• 1:09:27
  And then you realize that you cannot do that again.
• 1:09:31
  You cannot accept something that the government tells you to do
• 1:09:35
  the, you know, whoever this beast is, this entity, these
• 1:09:37
  rulers, and there's also going to be a religious figure that's
• 1:09:41
  going to tell you to do it. It's a false prophet, but he's
• 1:09:43
  the one who forces people to take the mark of the beast.
• 1:09:46
  So you can't listen to any of that.
• 1:09:49
  Hopefully we've learned our lesson in 2019 and what happened
• 1:09:55
  in 2020. And, and so I think that was God
• 1:09:59
  just allowing a warning to happen to us.
• 1:10:01
  So you cannot trust the, the, the world and what they're
• 1:10:06
  telling you to do. You've got to trust the Bible
• 1:10:09
  and do not take it whatever you do because it cannot be undone
• 1:10:14
  once that happens. OK.
• 1:10:16
  Revelation 20 verse 5. The rest of the dead did not
• 1:10:20
  come to life until the 1000 years were ended.
• 1:10:23
  This is the first resurrection. So it says blessed and holy are
• 1:10:30
  those who share in the first resurrection.
• 1:10:33
  Blessed well, that we got a gift and holy, remember that word.
• 1:10:38
  Holy are those who share in the first resurrection.
• 1:10:41
  We need to be holy. How are we going to be holy
• 1:10:43
  except if we have the Holy Spirit, right?
• 1:10:46
  We're not holy on our own. We're only holy through Christ
• 1:10:50
  and so. What?
• 1:10:53
  This is very clear that we have to be holy.
• 1:10:55
  Now, does a holy person sin? Not intentionally.
• 1:11:00
  Maybe there's an accident here and there where they do sin, but
• 1:11:04
  then they feel horrible about it and go to God and say please
• 1:11:06
  take this away. Ask, you know, ask for
• 1:11:09
  forgiveness. Ask you know that I don't know
• 1:11:13
  that God forgive. And so, but you have to be holy.
• 1:11:17
  Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection.
• 1:11:21
  The second death has no power over them, but they will be
• 1:11:26
  priests of God and of Christ and will reign with them for 1000
• 1:11:31
  years. So if we go up in the first
• 1:11:34
  resurrection, we will reign with Christ for 1000 years.
• 1:11:40
  When the 1000 years are over, Satan will be released from his
• 1:11:44
  prison. And that's in verse 7.
• 1:11:47
  So again, when we were talking about timings of things, knowing
• 1:11:52
  wrath versus tribulation I think is important.
• 1:11:56
  And those who are in Christ, those who have the Holy Spirit
• 1:12:00
  will not experience wrath because it says in Scripture
• 1:12:04
  that we will not experience wrath.
• 1:12:08
  So I will read some of the things about wrath.
• 1:12:12
  There's a lot if you search wrath, there's, there's a lot of
• 1:12:16
  verses, but I'm reading like there were 1234 different search
• 1:12:21
  results, but I'm not going to read all of them, but I will
• 1:12:24
  read some and I'm going to read the last ones from Zephaniah
• 1:12:31
  through Revelation. Just so we're clear about Wrath
• 1:12:37
  in Zephaniah 3 it says wait, therefore wait for me, declares
• 1:12:41
  the Lord for the day. I will stand up to testify.
• 1:12:45
  I have decided to assemble the nations to gather the kingdoms
• 1:12:49
  and to pour out my wrath on them.
• 1:12:52
  All my fierce anger. The whole world will be consumed
• 1:12:57
  by the fire of my jealous anger. Now we who are in Christ, who
• 1:13:01
  have the Holy Spirit, are not going to be part of that, and
• 1:13:03
  we'll get to that later. But it does say that in
• 1:13:05
  Scripture. But the whole world who did not
• 1:13:09
  turn to Jesus is going to experience God's wrath.
• 1:13:13
  Malachi says in chapter 1. Edom may say though we have been
• 1:13:18
  crushed, we will be, We will rebuild the runes.
• 1:13:21
  But this is what the Lord Almighty says.
• 1:13:23
  They may build, but I will demolish.
• 1:13:25
  They will be called a wicked land, a people always under the
• 1:13:30
  wrath of God. Edom is modern day Jordan and
• 1:13:35
  God's house is a house for all people.
• 1:13:38
  So if people from Edom or people from Jordan turn to God and
• 1:13:43
  accept Jesus, they they can avoid this.
• 1:13:46
  But right now if they don't it, it says that it'll be called a
• 1:13:52
  wicked land, a people always under the wrath of the Lord in
• 1:13:57
  Matthew chapter 3. But when he saw many of the
• 1:14:01
  Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he
• 1:14:05
  said to them, you brood of Vipers, who warned you to flee
• 1:14:10
  from the coming wrath? I think that's a really
• 1:14:13
  interesting thing. This is John the Baptist who
• 1:14:15
  said this to the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
• 1:14:18
  These were Jewish sects, Jewish believers that were not
• 1:14:22
  believing in Christ. They were just like keepers of
• 1:14:25
  the law, but they were coming to where he was baptizing and he's
• 1:14:30
  he's he's rebuking them. He's calling him Vipers are
• 1:14:34
  snakes or you know, something that's related to Satan and he's
• 1:14:38
  like, who warned? You to flee.
• 1:14:40
  From the coming wrath. So remember, Jesus says repent
• 1:14:44
  and be baptized. Well, and Jesus was baptized and
• 1:14:48
  at his baptism, the Holy Spirit descended on him and he received
• 1:14:52
  the Holy Spirit. Now, that doesn't always happen
• 1:14:55
  in that sequence because I did read the book of Acts and other
• 1:14:58
  things and the Holy Spirit can actually come on someone before
• 1:15:01
  they get baptized. And, and there's evidence of
• 1:15:05
  that in the book of Acts, but it also sometimes comes on after
• 1:15:11
  somebody's been baptized. I really think it has to do with
• 1:15:14
  whether we surrender or not if we receive the Holy Spirit
• 1:15:18
  because we can go through the act, the the act of baptism, we
• 1:15:21
  could not have our hearts truly turned and go through the
• 1:15:24
  actions of it. And our life's not going to
• 1:15:26
  change. It's not some magical thing that
• 1:15:29
  happens. It's, it's symbolic of, I don't
• 1:15:35
  know, it's just, it's showing outwardly showing God that we
• 1:15:39
  are choosing to be obedient to him.
• 1:15:42
  Now, our hearts cannot really mean it and we can go through
• 1:15:45
  the process of it and nothing will change.
• 1:15:48
  It's a matter of our minds, what we've set our minds on.
• 1:15:51
  Are we setting our minds on being obedient to Christ or are
• 1:15:54
  we just going through the motions to do this thing because
• 1:15:58
  people said we should do it? There's a difference.
• 1:16:01
  And if you're doing it just because somebody said to do it,
• 1:16:04
  but you're probably not going to receive the Holy Spirit.
• 1:16:08
  For me, I didn't even expect anything.
• 1:16:11
  I was doing it because I finally made the decision that I wasn't
• 1:16:14
  going to be a hypocrite. I always called myself a
• 1:16:16
  Christian, but I didn't live like what the Bible says.
• 1:16:19
  And so I delayed because I didn't want to give up my sin.
• 1:16:24
  And so I delayed getting baptized for a while.
• 1:16:28
  I didn't get baptized until 21. I read the Bible in 19.
• 1:16:31
  It was 2 years of reading the Bible before I actually was, I
• 1:16:36
  guess, convicted by the Holy Spirit to do something about it.
• 1:16:39
  And I decided if I'm going to do it, I'm not going to be a
• 1:16:41
  hypocrite. I'm going to be true.
• 1:16:44
  I'm going to be honest about it and I'm really going to want, I
• 1:16:49
  mean I'm really going to do my best to abide by God's laws and,
• 1:16:55
  and live that way. And I believe the Holy Spirit
• 1:16:59
  actually came to me at that point or I had the Spirit of God
• 1:17:02
  because I started having dreams, dreams about Jesus, the power of
• 1:17:07
  Jesus. And I've had like 70 ish dreams
• 1:17:11
  since then and I haven't had one for the last month, I guess.
• 1:17:16
  But there's, there's been seriously some prophetic things.
• 1:17:21
  Not like, well, yeah, I mean, there's been events that have
• 1:17:24
  happened that were so symbolic I didn't quite understand.
• 1:17:27
  But then when I look back on them, I'm like, wow, that was
• 1:17:30
  about that. And then there would actually be
• 1:17:33
  scenes from my dream that would show up in my real life.
• 1:17:38
  And that would just it, it just astounded me when that happened.
• 1:17:41
  I was like, Oh my gosh, I just dreamt about this.
• 1:17:43
  So now this is happening in my real life.
• 1:17:45
  So that's where I believe that when I got baptized that I did
• 1:17:51
  receive the Holy Spirit that evening because that's when the
• 1:17:54
  dream started. And I never had dreams like this
• 1:17:56
  before. And again, they keep, they've
• 1:17:58
  been going on for these past ever since 2021 is when I had
• 1:18:04
  it. It didn't start when I was
• 1:18:05
  reading the Bible. It started when I actually went
• 1:18:07
  and got baptized. That was the night that I had my
• 1:18:09
  first dream, so. That.
• 1:18:12
  God is it's you know, knowing scripture is truly it's a
• 1:18:18
  treasure. It really is.
• 1:18:20
  So Luke chapter 3 says John said to the crowds coming out to be
• 1:18:25
  baptized. You brood of Vipers who warned
• 1:18:27
  you to flee for the coming wrath.
• 1:18:29
  So again, it people are being obedient by getting baptized.
• 1:18:32
  That's what Jesus said to do. He said repent and be baptized.
• 1:18:37
  And so if we are not going to be a hypocrite and live out our
• 1:18:41
  Christian faith, then we are protected from wrath.
• 1:18:44
  Like he's saying, you know, how are you guys trying to do this?
• 1:18:47
  Because he's like, he's calling you you Vipers, you know, and
• 1:18:52
  and Jesus even said that they were from the synagogue of Satan
• 1:18:56
  is what he called them at one point because he knew their
• 1:18:59
  hearts. He knew that they were what they
• 1:19:01
  were, what was inside them, not what maybe they showed, but they
• 1:19:06
  maybe kept the law and appeared on the outside to be religious
• 1:19:09
  people. But Jesus knew the Spirit in
• 1:19:13
  them, within them, and knew it was not of God because they
• 1:19:17
  didn't recognize him as the Son of God.
• 1:19:20
  And so this is something about the baptism where you're who,
• 1:19:24
  who warned you to flee from the coming wrath.
• 1:19:27
  So this baptism perhaps will protect us from the wrath of God
• 1:19:32
  when we're not doing it just for the action, but we're doing it
• 1:19:35
  because of sincere desire to please God and be obedient to
• 1:19:39
  God. Luke 21 says how dreadful it
• 1:19:45
  will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing
• 1:19:48
  mothers. There will be great distress in
• 1:19:50
  the land and wrath against this people.
• 1:19:53
  So this is when the lawless 1 is revealed.
• 1:19:56
  There's the wrath that comes out.
• 1:19:58
  Now some people teach this as Satan's wrath and say that we
• 1:20:03
  are subject to Satan's wrath, but we are not subject to God's
• 1:20:06
  wrath. That could be, but.
• 1:20:09
  But sometimes what I think is that God actually uses evil
• 1:20:13
  people or and God's going to use this lawless one to bring about
• 1:20:18
  wrath on people. So ultimately God controls that.
• 1:20:22
  So I'm not sure if it's just Satan's wrath or if God is
• 1:20:27
  actually using Satan to do wrath against the people to get them
• 1:20:33
  to actually turn and also to punish the ones who have been
• 1:20:36
  disobedient and rejected him. So then John chapter 3 says this
• 1:20:41
  is the same chapter where it talks about being born again.
• 1:20:44
  Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever
• 1:20:49
  rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on
• 1:20:55
  them. So yes, all of our Muslim
• 1:20:58
  friends who reject the Son of God will not see life.
• 1:21:04
  However, I do know that God is Jesus is appearing to Muslim in
• 1:21:09
  dreams. So just like I started having
• 1:21:11
  dreams about the power of Jesus, he didn't appear to me in my
• 1:21:15
  dreams, but it was all the power of Jesus.
• 1:21:17
  The power of the name of Jesus was coming to me in dreams and I
• 1:21:21
  never dreamt about that stuff before.
• 1:21:23
  So I can testify that this is true.
• 1:21:27
  Like this stuff happened to me and I do.
• 1:21:30
  I have seen that Jesus is appearing to Muslims and they
• 1:21:34
  are believing so. But ones who reject him, just
• 1:21:37
  like other, just like Christians, you know, that are
• 1:21:40
  not obedient to God, they're going to go through wrath.
• 1:21:44
  But the ones who are obedient to God and who are submitting to
• 1:21:47
  God and obeying his commandments, they're not going
• 1:21:50
  to be subject to wrath. But the ones who don't believe
• 1:21:53
  in Jesus, and that includes the Jewish people, they're going to
• 1:21:57
  be subject to God's wrath. You know, there are Jewish
• 1:22:00
  Messianic Jews. So there are people who live
• 1:22:03
  according to the Jewish customs, but they believe in the Messiah.
• 1:22:06
  They believe that Jesus is the Messiah, that Jesus is the Son
• 1:22:09
  of God. So not all Jewish people will
• 1:22:13
  experience the wrath, the God, but the ones who are still blind
• 1:22:18
  because of their disobedience, because they are, they haven't
• 1:22:21
  accepted Jesus, God's wrath is going to be on them.
• 1:22:27
  And remember that we're studying the book of Isaiah.
• 1:22:30
  This was written in 722 BC. So there's no excuse if people
• 1:22:35
  read the word of God and you pray to God and you ask for
• 1:22:37
  revelation and you ask for the Holy Spirit to reveal things to
• 1:22:41
  you, the the Jewish people can, if they read, they can get to
• 1:22:48
  know Jesus through Scripture. OK, Romans chapter 1, the wrath
• 1:22:55
  of God is being revealed from heaven against all the
• 1:22:58
  godlessness and wickedness of people who suppress the truth by
• 1:23:04
  by their wickedness. Romans chapter 2 says, But
• 1:23:08
  because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are
• 1:23:13
  storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's
• 1:23:17
  wrath when his righteous judgement will be revealed.
• 1:23:21
  So whatever happens, it's going to be righteous.
• 1:23:24
  I mean, God's going to be He's a just God.
• 1:23:26
  He's not bringing wrath on undeserving people.
• 1:23:30
  Then in Romans chapter 2 it says but for those who are self
• 1:23:33
  seeking and reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath
• 1:23:40
  and anger. Romans chapter 3 says but if our
• 1:23:45
  unrighteousness brings out God's righteousness more clearly, what
• 1:23:50
  shall we say that God is in just in bringing his wrath on us?
• 1:23:56
  I'm using a human argument. So yeah.
• 1:24:00
  I mean, if we are, if we are being unrighteous, God's wrath
• 1:24:05
  is still there. Now Romans chapter 4, because
• 1:24:08
  the law brings wrath and there is.
• 1:24:12
  And where there is no law, there is no transgression.
• 1:24:17
  So before Jesus died on the cross, the 10 commandments were
• 1:24:24
  there to guard people, to keep them out of sin so that they
• 1:24:29
  didn't experience the wrath. But.
• 1:24:32
  Because of Jesus. We have life because Jesus died
• 1:24:38
  on the cross and broke the curse of death on us.
• 1:24:42
  He conquered death, and so if we are under Christ, we are not
• 1:24:48
  subject to the law, even though we had broken it.
• 1:24:52
  We are forgiven and we are covered by the blood of Christ,
• 1:24:57
  by his death on the cross, the sacrifice that he made.
• 1:25:00
  So we are protected. Even though we were sinners,
• 1:25:05
  even though we, you know, did certain things, we asked for
• 1:25:10
  forgiveness and we changed our ways.
• 1:25:12
  We have the Holy Spirit. God's not going to bring wrath
• 1:25:15
  on the Holy Spirit on someone who has the Holy Spirit.
• 1:25:19
  Romans chapter 5 sense since we have now been justified by his
• 1:25:25
  blood, the blood of Jesus on the cross, how much more shall we be
• 1:25:29
  saved from God's wrath through him?
• 1:25:32
  So if we remain in Christ, we remain with the Holy Spirit, we
• 1:25:36
  will be saved from God's wrath. That means we don't experience
• 1:25:40
  God's wrath. Romans Chapter 9.
• 1:25:43
  What if God although choosing to show his wrath and make His
• 1:25:47
  power known, for with great patience the objects of his
• 1:25:52
  wrath prepared for destruction. So again we were talking about
• 1:25:58
  God has patient in His judgement.
• 1:26:00
  In Isaiah chapter 26 verse 10 it talks about this.
• 1:26:05
  But when this is going back to Isaiah.
• 1:26:07
  But when grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn
• 1:26:10
  righteousness even in a land of uprightness.
• 1:26:13
  They go on doing evil and they do not regard the majesty of the
• 1:26:15
  Lord. So it's but it says when your
• 1:26:19
  judgement comes upon the earth, the people.
• 1:26:22
  Of the world. Learn righteousness so there's a
• 1:26:24
  purpose and you know the grace is the patience and judgement
• 1:26:29
  when God gives that Romans chapter 12 says do not take
• 1:26:33
  revenge my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is
• 1:26:38
  written it is mine to avenge. I will repay, says the Lord.
• 1:26:42
  We don't have to worry about seeking revenge on anybody.
• 1:26:46
  We can just pray to God and have God deal with it.
• 1:26:49
  Romans chapter 13 For the one in in authority is God's servant
• 1:26:55
  for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid,
• 1:26:59
  for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason.
• 1:27:04
  They are God's servants, agents. They are God's servants, agents
• 1:27:10
  of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
• 1:27:14
  So this is interesting because God does use wicked people as
• 1:27:21
  agents to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
• 1:27:26
  They are actually a servant of God.
• 1:27:27
  Like God can use even the wicked to do his will and he allows
• 1:27:33
  certain things to happen. And it says, but if you do
• 1:27:37
  wrong, be afraid for rulers. Rulers of the world do not bear
• 1:27:42
  a sword for no reason. So if you are being disobedient,
• 1:27:47
  watch out because they the ruler, OK?
• 1:27:51
  That's the other thing. This is about authorities, for
• 1:27:55
  the one in authority is God's servant for your good.
• 1:27:58
  So God puts people in positions of power and he takes them away
• 1:28:03
  from power. He did that with the kings.
• 1:28:04
  He would allow them and the evil kings that had very short
• 1:28:08
  periods of time where they could reign and the good ones reigned
• 1:28:11
  for a little bit longer. You can see that in the length
• 1:28:14
  when the two kingdoms split apart, one was Israel
• 1:28:18
  represented by the 10 tribes, and the other was the southern
• 1:28:20
  portion of Judah. That was Judah and Benjamin.
• 1:28:23
  When they were separated from one another, the Kingdom of
• 1:28:27
  Judah and Benjamin lasted longer and they had more good.
• 1:28:31
  They had about half good kings and half bad kings, but the king
• 1:28:36
  are the kings of Israel. They were pretty much all bad,
• 1:28:39
  except for Jehu, who still was wicked, but he actually did.
• 1:28:43
  He was a servant of God, and he cleared out Ahab's house.
• 1:28:47
  He was another king, but he was a wicked king, so he took care
• 1:28:51
  of that for God. He was used as God's servant.
• 1:28:53
  He was an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the
• 1:28:57
  wrongdoer. That was Jehu.
• 1:28:58
  That's what he did. So if we do wrong, we should be
• 1:29:03
  afraid because the rulers were appointed by God.
• 1:29:07
  They are servants, and they bring punishment on the
• 1:29:09
  wrongdoer. So we need to be obedient,
• 1:29:13
  except when it contradicts what God says.
• 1:29:17
  All of us who lived among them at one time.
• 1:29:21
  This is Ephesians 2. All of us who lived among them
• 1:29:25
  at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and
• 1:29:28
  following its desires and thoughts like the rest.
• 1:29:32
  We were by nature deserving of wrath.
• 1:29:36
  So that's saying all of us, every one of us, is a Sinner.
• 1:29:40
  Every one of us deserves God's wrath because we sin, have
• 1:29:47
  sinned, you know. But when we were, it says also
• 1:29:52
  all of us also lived among them at one time.
• 1:29:58
  So there's a change that's happened when he's talking, when
• 1:30:01
  Paul is talking to these Ephesians.
• 1:30:03
  At one time we were gratifying the cravings of our flesh, of
• 1:30:08
  our worldly, worldly ways. And we were following through
• 1:30:12
  with the desires and the thoughts we had, like the
• 1:30:15
  selfish things we wanted, the sin we craved.
• 1:30:18
  We were doing that. And so like everybody else, we
• 1:30:22
  were also deserving of wrath. But because we we changed and we
• 1:30:27
  got the Holy Spirit, we're no longer deserving of wrath.
• 1:30:31
  And in chapter 5 of Ephesians, Paul says, let no one deceive
• 1:30:38
  you with empty words, for because of such things God's
• 1:30:42
  wrath comes on those who are disobedient.
• 1:30:46
  So if you call yourself a Christian, but you're being
• 1:30:49
  disobedient to God and you're thinking that God's grace is
• 1:30:54
  protecting you, No, Paul says not.
• 1:30:58
  No, it's not. You are going to experience
• 1:31:01
  God's wrath, those who are disobedient.
• 1:31:04
  If you continue in disobedience, when Jesus returns and you're
• 1:31:07
  here, you might want to think, are you going to be considered
• 1:31:12
  holy? Are you going to be taken to
• 1:31:16
  Jesus and protected from the wrath to come?
• 1:31:19
  Are you going to have to endure it?
• 1:31:21
  Because there's going to be a lot of Christians.
• 1:31:23
  It talks about the 10 virgins, the parable of the 10 virgins,
• 1:31:26
  It shows that half of them who thought they were prepared don't
• 1:31:30
  make it, only the ones who had the oil.
• 1:31:33
  The oil is symbolic of the Holy Spirit.
• 1:31:36
  If you do not have the Holy Spirit and are not being
• 1:31:39
  obedient to God, you can expect wrath.
• 1:31:43
  It says God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient.
• 1:31:48
  I don't know how much clearer I can say that in Colossians
• 1:31:55
  chapter 3, because of these, the wrath of God is coming in one
• 1:31:59
  Thessalonian one verse 10, and to wait for his Son from heaven,
• 1:32:05
  whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who rescues us from the
• 1:32:11
  coming wrath, that's going to be in the resurrection.
• 1:32:14
  He's going to protect us from the wrath.
• 1:32:16
  Those who are prepared, those who are ready in first.
• 1:32:21
  First Thessalonians 2 in the In their effort to keep us from
• 1:32:28
  speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved in this way,
• 1:32:33
  they always heap up their sins to the limit.
• 1:32:38
  The wrath of God has come upon them at last.
• 1:32:41
  So somebody who's keeping the good news about Jesus away from
• 1:32:52
  the non Jews, their effort, those who are keeping that from
• 1:32:56
  happening, the wrath of God is going to be coming on them.
• 1:33:00
  One Thessalonians 5 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath,
• 1:33:06
  but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
• 1:33:12
  So if you have the Holy Spirit, you will not be subject to
• 1:33:16
  wrath. In Revelation chapter 6, they
• 1:33:18
  called to the mountains and the rocks fall on us and hide us
• 1:33:22
  from the faith of face of him who sits on the throne and from
• 1:33:28
  the wrath of the Lamb. That's Jesus.
• 1:33:30
  That's when Jesus returns. It says further, for the great
• 1:33:36
  day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?
• 1:33:45
  The nations. Revelation 11 says the nations
• 1:33:48
  were angry, and your wrath has come.
• 1:33:51
  The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your
• 1:33:55
  servants, the prophets, and your people who Revere your name both
• 1:33:59
  great and small, and for destroying those who destroy the
• 1:34:04
  earth. So when Jesus returns this
• 1:34:07
  wrath, this is the time of judgement.
• 1:34:10
  Revelation 14. They too will drink the wine of
• 1:34:15
  God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the
• 1:34:20
  cup of His wrath. They will be tormented with
• 1:34:25
  burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels of the Lamb.
• 1:34:30
  So the cup of wrath is the judgement time from God and
• 1:34:36
  Jesus referred to, we talked about this last chapter where he
• 1:34:39
  said you should I not drink the cup the Father has given me like
• 1:34:44
  the wrath that he experienced on the cross, the torment and the
• 1:34:47
  death on the cross, but that was God's will.
• 1:34:50
  He knew it was God's will, the Father's will, and he was
• 1:34:53
  obedient to the Father. And so he suffered the wrath in
• 1:34:57
  his death to benefit us. And but then the enemies of God
• 1:35:04
  will have a cup of wrath that comes upon them because they
• 1:35:09
  didn't believe and they didn't accept what Jesus did.
• 1:35:12
  Revelation 14 continues to say the Angel swung his sickle on
• 1:35:17
  the earth, gathered its grapes, and threw them into the great
• 1:35:20
  winepress of God's wrath. So at this harvest, the grape
• 1:35:25
  harvest it, there's several angels that we read this in the
• 1:35:29
  last chapter. There's like three of them.
• 1:35:31
  And I think, well, I think it's Jesus, son of man on the cloud.
• 1:35:37
  And then there's another Angel and then another Angel.
• 1:35:41
  But first there's like grapes that are gathered.
• 1:35:46
  Then there's another separate Angel who comes with a with a
• 1:35:50
  sickle and harvest the remaining ones that are there and put some
• 1:35:54
  into the wine press. They're the ones who go into the
• 1:35:57
  wine press. So some are saved and then I
• 1:36:01
  guess are brought into the presence of Jesus, just like the
• 1:36:05
  wheat and the tares where some are.
• 1:36:08
  The wheat is bundled together and stored in the barn like
• 1:36:12
  God's home, like the mansions he's prepared, the rooms he has
• 1:36:15
  in his Father's house are prepared.
• 1:36:18
  The wheat is taken. Now does this happen at two
• 1:36:21
  different times because of the the the parables of the
• 1:36:24
  different harvest? Like is there a springtime
• 1:36:27
  harvest and then there is is there a fall time harvest?
• 1:36:33
  And are they 2 separate harvest or are they just examples of
• 1:36:38
  different harvest illustrating the same one time event?
• 1:36:43
  We won't know until after it happens, but that leaves you
• 1:36:47
  guessing about when it's going to what season it's going to
• 1:36:50
  occur in. Revelation 15 says I saw in
• 1:36:54
  heaven another great and marvelous sign, 7 angels with
• 1:36:57
  the seven last plagues last, because with them God's wrath is
• 1:37:02
  completed. And then Revelation 15, the one
• 1:37:06
  of the then one of the four living creatures, gave to the
• 1:37:09
  seven angels 7 golden bowls filled with the wrath of God who
• 1:37:14
  lives forever and ever. None of this is what people who
• 1:37:18
  are in Christ will experience. Then I heard a loud voice from
• 1:37:22
  the temple saying to the seven angels, go pour out the seven
• 1:37:26
  bowls of God's wrath on the earth.
• 1:37:30
  Again, if you are in Christ, you will not receive that
• 1:37:34
  revelation. 16 verse 19 the city, the great city split into
• 1:37:40
  three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed.
• 1:37:44
  God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with
• 1:37:50
  the wine of the fury of His wrath.
• 1:37:53
  I had mentioned this before. I really do want to study
• 1:37:56
  Babylon the Great. I want to study Babylon and find
• 1:37:59
  out if there are any clues in scripture that give us a better
• 1:38:02
  insight to where this is. Because they're like, I have
• 1:38:07
  three different theories right now and I'm not sure which one I
• 1:38:09
  believe. I'm leaning towards one that I
• 1:38:12
  don't like, but OK, Babylon could just be in Iraq where it
• 1:38:18
  originally was, but there's like Mystery Babylon, so it doesn't
• 1:38:22
  seem like it's really the same. I think there's a spirit that
• 1:38:26
  has induced people, that has lured people to follow the
• 1:38:31
  spirit, an evil spirit. And so I think that maybe the
• 1:38:35
  location of Babylon has changed. Now.
• 1:38:39
  Early church people always said it was the city of Rome because
• 1:38:42
  Rome sits on seven hills. And so it's been identified as
• 1:38:47
  Rome. It it could be that I'm, I'm not
• 1:38:50
  sure. And it is surrounded by water.
• 1:38:52
  I mean, there are a lot of descriptions of it, but and then
• 1:38:55
  it says the great merchants, you know, they will see by they will
• 1:38:58
  be in the water and see this great city burning.
• 1:39:03
  So I don't know. Is it the is it Rome?
• 1:39:05
  Is it the Vatican? I don't know.
• 1:39:07
  I mean, that's what some people believe.
• 1:39:08
  I'm not quite sure we will see. And then the third theory is, is
• 1:39:15
  it the United States? You know, the United States
• 1:39:18
  itself is surrounded by water. There are several places that
• 1:39:21
  have 7 mountains or seven hills or something similar to that.
• 1:39:26
  What city is it? I don't know and I don't know
• 1:39:29
  for sure that it is, but it's something I certainly see the
• 1:39:35
  the the sinfulness of the United States.
• 1:39:39
  I mean, we were originally formed under God and but just
• 1:39:45
  the stuff that when you start having discernment about even
• 1:39:50
  our history, you start seeing some evil things in there.
• 1:39:53
  There's certainly God is behind a lot of it, but there's a lot
• 1:39:57
  of evil. And I don't really know in God's
• 1:39:59
  eyes, what does he see the United States?
• 1:40:01
  Does he see us as a sinful nation or does he see us as a
• 1:40:05
  God fearing God following nation?
• 1:40:08
  That's only for God to know. So if the other thing that I
• 1:40:13
  study too is that Babylon is destroyed.
• 1:40:18
  Before the mark of the beast comes out.
• 1:40:21
  So whoever, gosh, actually that makes me think it might be the
• 1:40:26
  United States, because people also theorize that the Vatican
• 1:40:31
  City is going to be the false prophet.
• 1:40:34
  And if Babylon is destroyed, it is actually the false prophet
• 1:40:38
  who gives out the order to, you know, that forces people to take
• 1:40:42
  the mark of the beast. So if that area is destroyed,
• 1:40:47
  Babylon's destroyed before this happens, then that can't be
• 1:40:52
  Babylon. So now it's making me think, OK,
• 1:40:55
  it's either going to be in Iraq, but the description doesn't seem
• 1:40:58
  like it's surrounded by water or the United States.
• 1:41:03
  And it's looking like the United States might be Mystery Babylon.
• 1:41:07
  So that even brings about anybody who's in the United
• 1:41:09
  States. It brings about a greater
• 1:41:11
  importance to be prepared because this is like a sudden
• 1:41:16
  destruction that comes upon Babylon.
• 1:41:20
  And so we're not going to know when that is.
• 1:41:22
  And, and there's a lot of countries that would love to
• 1:41:26
  destroy us. And God may allow that to happen
• 1:41:31
  because of the sinfulness of our country, the agendas that we've
• 1:41:34
  been pushing, the LBGTQ, things that go against God's commands
• 1:41:40
  on the abortion that the people so rap, I don't know, seek, I
• 1:41:47
  mean, that stuff that's killing people.
• 1:41:49
  He that's one of the things that God hates the, the whole
• 1:41:53
  Hollywood thing and the demonic stuff and the music and the
• 1:41:57
  sexual immorality and all of that.
• 1:41:59
  I mean, that is definitely a part of our culture.
• 1:42:02
  It you can't hide it. The Pagan type festivals that we
• 1:42:07
  have here in the United States. I didn't realize the Burning Man
• 1:42:11
  was actually like a Pagan type thing.
• 1:42:14
  It's very demonic when you look into it.
• 1:42:16
  I didn't even know that. I thought it was an artsy thing.
• 1:42:19
  A lot of times art things actually are presented as art
• 1:42:23
  and then seem like they're, they're nothing.
• 1:42:26
  You know, it's nothing big about it, you know, like it's not a
• 1:42:28
  big deal because it's just, it's just art.
• 1:42:32
  I think that's a deception, a lie from the enemy that we
• 1:42:36
  believe that it's just art. It isn't just art.
• 1:42:39
  It is it has demonic, you know, spiritual implications and
• 1:42:46
  participating in it probably opens us up to that spiritual
• 1:42:52
  realm affecting us. So I would be careful about how
• 1:42:56
  you spend your time. It says don't spend time with
• 1:42:58
  darkness. I mean, people of light should
• 1:43:00
  not be spending time with darkness.
• 1:43:02
  OK, then I'm reading the last one.
• 1:43:06
  Revelation 19 coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword to which
• 1:43:12
  with which to strike down the nation's.
• 1:43:15
  He will rule. Them with an iron scepter, he
• 1:43:19
  treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God.
• 1:43:22
  So this is, you know, final judgement happening.
• 1:43:25
  And this podcast got to be a way longer than I anticipated it to
• 1:43:30
  be. I thought it was going to be
• 1:43:31
  short, but there was a lot of different scripture.
• 1:43:33
  But I hope this was helpful to people and helpful in preparing.
• 1:43:37
  And if it's helpful to you or please share it with other
• 1:43:40
  people because I think it's really important, especially if
• 1:43:42
  you're in the United States, because what if we are Mystery
• 1:43:46
  Babylon? We need to be prepared because
• 1:43:50
  it doesn't look so great for us in the world.
• 1:43:52
  There are people in Iran, religious leaders who are
• 1:43:56
  actually calling for the assassination of Trump and they
• 1:44:00
  call the United States Big Satan and they call Israel Little
• 1:44:04
  Satan. And it does talk in prophecy.
• 1:44:07
  It says Elam strike, Elam strike Elam is Iran.
• 1:44:13
  So prophecy says that. So we just need to get in the
• 1:44:18
  word and not be fearful because the Bible says don't be fear.
• 1:44:22
  Just prepare. Prepare because you need a
• 1:44:27
  relationship with God. You can do that right now.
• 1:44:29
  You can say a prayer right now. In fact, I'm just going to say a
• 1:44:32
  prayer for everybody. And if you, if you want this to
• 1:44:35
  apply to you, then stay with me on this.
• 1:44:37
  And just this, this hopefully covers you as well.
• 1:44:41
  Dear God, thank you for bringing us together today.
• 1:44:44
  And please let your Holy Spirit come upon people who are truly
• 1:44:48
  repentant for their lives. And once really want to
• 1:44:52
  experience your love and to follow your ways and to be
• 1:44:56
  obedient to you and to serve others.
• 1:44:59
  Please let your spirit come on people with power.
• 1:45:03
  To. Serve you and to do your will
• 1:45:06
  and to bring others into the Kingdom.
• 1:45:08
  We ask for this in Jesus name. Thank you, Lord.
