Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
- 0:04Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
- 0:08Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
- 0:12Speaker 1: portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
- 0:15Speaker 1: us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
- 0:19Speaker 1: to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
- 0:23Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy.
- 0:26Speaker 2: Vibrant lives.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,
- 0:32Speaker 1: Elle David Harris.

- 0:35Speaker 2: June one, already, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is
- 0:40Speaker 2: El David Harris. I am your host, and this is
- 0:42Speaker 2: your Daily Portion where we give you God's word every
- 0:45Speaker 2: single day, and today is no exception. We are continuing
- 0:49Speaker 2: in our lesson study series how to study Bible Prophecy,
- 0:54Speaker 2: and our caption for today is the wrath of the Lamb.
- 0:59Speaker 2: The wrath of the Lamb, and in my mind I
- 1:01Speaker 2: immediately change that to a question like what the wrath
- 1:05Speaker 2: of the lamb? Yeah, before we get into that, we
- 1:09Speaker 2: will ask you to go over to your Daily Portion
- 1:12Speaker 2: dot com. Please join our online community. Also pick up
- 1:16Speaker 2: the your Daily Portion life application guide and let us
- 1:20Speaker 2: know where you are in the world at your Daily
- 1:23Speaker 2: Portion dot com. This is one of the ways that
- 1:26Speaker 2: we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead
- 1:31Speaker 2: and pray. Father, we thank you for giving us the
- 1:33Speaker 2: promise that you will never leave us, You'll never forsake us.
- 1:37Speaker 2: Thank you for giving us the privilege of being in
- 1:40Speaker 2: right relationship with you, so we have no concerns of
- 1:44Speaker 2: the wrath of God, the wrath of the lamb. Please
- 1:47Speaker 2: give us your holy spirit today in Jesus' name, I pray,
- 1:51Speaker 2: Amen and Amen again, the wrath of the lamb. Now
- 1:55Speaker 2: you should have been asking the same question, like the what.
- 1:59Speaker 2: And I will admit, though I don't want to be
- 2:01Speaker 2: a hypocrite, that for the many decades that I have
- 2:03Speaker 2: been studying this Bible that God has given to us,
- 2:07Speaker 2: it did not occur to me that this was weird.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Maybe that's not the word that you would use, but
- 2:13Speaker 2: wrath of a lamb? Have you ever seen lambs or sheep?
- 2:17Speaker 2: What does that even mean? Lamb? Lamb's wrath? Like what?
- 2:23Speaker 2: But but but we'll get into it, Like I'm not
- 2:26Speaker 2: trying to make light of it, but it should immediately
- 2:28Speaker 2: be jarring to you, like, wait a minute. So, if
- 2:31Speaker 2: we choose to be hidden in Christ, of course the
- 2:34Speaker 2: Lamb being represent is representing Christ. So if we choose
- 2:40Speaker 2: to be hidden in Christ, we don't need to be
- 2:45Speaker 2: hidden from Christ. I wish I had the time. Take
- 2:51Speaker 2: your time. I'll say it one more time. If we
- 2:56Speaker 2: choose to be hidden in Christ, and we do not
- 3:01Speaker 2: need to be hidden from Christ the wrath of the
- 3:07Speaker 2: lamb mm hmm. Yeah. So we're going now into the
- 3:12Speaker 2: Bible Book of Revelation, chapter six, and I will read
- 3:15Speaker 2: beginning at verse twelve, and the Bible reads, and I
- 3:18Speaker 2: beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and lo,
- 3:23Speaker 2: there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black,
- 3:26Speaker 2: and the moon became as blood verse thirteen. And the
- 3:30Speaker 2: stars of heaven fell unto the earth verse fifteen. And
- 3:34Speaker 2: the kings of the Earth and the great men they
- 3:37Speaker 2: did what They hid themselves in the dens and in
- 3:41Speaker 2: the rocks of the mountains verse sixteen, and said, unto
- 3:45Speaker 2: the mountains and rocks. That's weird. They're talking to mountains
- 3:49Speaker 2: and rocks. Yep, fall on us and hide us from
- 3:53Speaker 2: the face of Him. That sitteth upon the throne. Now,
- 3:56Speaker 2: let me just pause for a moment. Right here, there's
- 4:00Speaker 2: there is a benediction in the Bible that says that
- 4:03Speaker 2: we want God's face to shine upon us and give
- 4:08Speaker 2: us peace, Like we want this to be our reality,
- 4:12Speaker 2: the face of God to shine upon us. But yet,
- 4:16Speaker 2: and at the same time, there are people at the
- 4:18Speaker 2: edge of the last days, when it is too late.
- 4:20Speaker 2: People have already chosen to turn away from God. And
- 4:25Speaker 2: those who love God are sealed and stuck that way
- 4:29Speaker 2: in a good way. And the people who hate God,
- 4:33Speaker 2: who are in fear of God, those individuals are saying,
- 4:37Speaker 2: hide us from that face, the face that is the
- 4:40Speaker 2: brightness and the light of the world, like the face
- 4:44Speaker 2: that is has been there to show us his approbation
- 4:49Speaker 2: and his approval, like that face that we should have loved.
- 4:53Speaker 2: They're saying, hide us from that face of the one
- 4:58Speaker 2: who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of
- 5:01Speaker 2: the lamb. Like this is really interesting. You see, the
- 5:07Speaker 2: lamb was taken as as as he was taken to
- 5:10Speaker 2: the slaughter, and and and as a lamb or a
- 5:14Speaker 2: sheep before his shearers is quiet, so opened Jesus, not
- 5:19Speaker 2: his mouth when he was giving his life for us,
- 5:22Speaker 2: when he was taking the penalty of our sins and
- 5:25Speaker 2: all of the wrath of God for us so we
- 5:29Speaker 2: don't have to take it. When he died the death
- 5:32Speaker 2: that we deserve, so we can have the life that
- 5:35Speaker 2: he deserves. He didn't even open his mouth. He cried out,
- 5:39Speaker 2: really to ask God, why is this happening? But he
- 5:43Speaker 2: did not try to get out of it. He did
- 5:46Speaker 2: not try to run away from those who were just
- 5:50Speaker 2: who were who were who were crucifying him in that way.
- 5:56Speaker 2: And now there's wrath though, fast forward thousands of years,
- 6:00Speaker 2: when all of the mercy has been given, when all
- 6:04Speaker 2: of what we need in order to be saved has
- 6:06Speaker 2: been given, when everything that could possibly be done has
- 6:10Speaker 2: been done in order to save us from our sins.
- 6:14Speaker 2: Now the people are having remorse, having remorse. Now they're
- 6:21Speaker 2: hiding from the wrath of the lamb. Sounds almost like
- 6:26Speaker 2: Adam in the garden of Eden. Adam, where are you?
- 6:30Speaker 2: I was naked. I was hiding and afraid, naked, hiding
- 6:33Speaker 2: and afraid, hiding because I was naked. I was fearful. Well,
- 6:37Speaker 2: who told you you were naked? Adam? Did you do
- 6:41Speaker 2: what I said you shouldn't do Did you separate yourself
- 6:45Speaker 2: from relationship with me? Adam? And of course then there
- 6:49Speaker 2: was a plan for their salvation. But at this point
- 6:53Speaker 2: it is forever too late. So what do you notice
- 6:57Speaker 2: about the response? Well, first of all, those who did
- 7:00Speaker 2: not love God were fearful, but they were not repentant.
- 7:04Speaker 2: They recognize that God is real. They even name the
- 7:08Speaker 2: wrath of the Lamb. But they don't seek mercy. Why not,
- 7:11Speaker 2: because they're stuck lost. Now they've made their final decision,
- 7:14Speaker 2: they hide. They cannot surrender anymore. And so the heart
- 7:18Speaker 2: that resists God for too long becomes unable to yield
- 7:24Speaker 2: even when the truth is undeniable. I could say so
- 7:30Speaker 2: many more things on that, but I think I will
- 7:32Speaker 2: just pause right there. And so really I need some lessons,
- 7:37Speaker 2: some lessons right before we come to a swift close.
- 7:40Speaker 2: The Bible reads again in verse sixteen, the lost they
- 7:44Speaker 2: cry out to be hidden from quote the wrath of
- 7:50Speaker 2: the Lamb. The lesson is people will be lost not
- 7:53Speaker 2: because they were uninformed, there's no new information, but because
- 7:58Speaker 2: they refused to love the one who loved them most,
- 8:03Speaker 2: because they consistently rejected his entreaties. Of mercy because they
- 8:08Speaker 2: did not love the one who loved them the most.
- 8:12Speaker 2: Number two truth is delayed but not denied. In Tecod
- 8:16Speaker 2: Peter chapter three, in verse four, where is the promise
- 8:21Speaker 2: of His coming? You see there are some scoffers, people
- 8:24Speaker 2: who supposedly love God, supposedly, but don't really love God
- 8:29Speaker 2: who claimed to be his people. But they refuse to
- 8:33Speaker 2: believe that God is Jesus is still coming because they're like, well,
- 8:36Speaker 2: things are still going on the way that we've known
- 8:39Speaker 2: they're going on. So where is the promise of his coming? Where?
- 8:42Speaker 2: This just doesn't work? This is not working, And so
- 8:45Speaker 2: those scoffers confuse God's patience, that long suffering patience that
- 8:50Speaker 2: Peter referenced with his absence. But delay is a gift
- 8:56Speaker 2: of mercy, not a cancelation of prophecy. Some people say,
- 9:01Speaker 2: I'm tired of hearing that Jesus is coming. When is
- 9:04Speaker 2: he coming? Maybe he's not coming. Well, let me say
- 9:07Speaker 2: it again. Delay is a gift of mercy, not a
- 9:12Speaker 2: cancelation of prophecy. Of course, the second coming will be
- 9:15Speaker 2: sudden to those who are unprepared, sudden to those who
- 9:19Speaker 2: are unprepared. Matthew twenty four and verse thirty nine says,
- 9:22Speaker 2: and they knew not until the flood came. Just like
- 9:26Speaker 2: in Noah's day, there will be people who were caught unawares.
- 9:29Speaker 2: But the Bible says that his coming will not come
- 9:32Speaker 2: upon God's people unawares. Because you have been watching and waiting,
- 9:37Speaker 2: looking forward to the day for Jesus to come. Are
- 9:40Speaker 2: you looking forward to the day? Be ready, He's on
- 9:43Speaker 2: his way. Peace.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Friends.
- 9:47Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by
- 9:50Speaker 1: every word that comes from the mouth of God. This
- 9:53Speaker 1: has been your daily portion with el David Harris. Make
- 9:57Speaker 1: it a great day. Yeah,
