863. Bible Study: Ezekiel 39 (The Battle Aftermath: What is to Come!!!) · Faith by annm2705

• 0:00
  Chapter 39 from the book of Ezekiel, This one is
• 0:04
  interesting. I believe this is talking about
• 0:08
  the return of Jesus, and I will show you that as we go along.
• 0:14
  But this is very interesting and it's also one of those where if
• 0:19
  you study eschatology or the end times, it's one of those that
• 0:24
  you that really like. For me, it made me think like
• 0:29
  where does this fit in the timeline?
• 0:32
  Is this pre Millennium, pre Christ reign, which I think it
• 0:38
  is. And then also looking at where
• 0:42
  we are today, what year it is, also thinking about something
• 0:48
  that was discovered in 1948 in the caves of Qumran, the Dead
• 0:54
  Sea Scrolls. And there was an ancient Jewish
• 0:57
  sect, or I don't know if I should say Jewish sect.
• 1:00
  They were believers and they were called the Essenes and they
• 1:03
  kept a calendar. And Ken Johnson has been reading
• 1:10
  and studying the Dead Sea Scrolls and has done numerous
• 1:15
  studies on that topic. You can find him on YouTube.
• 1:19
  But additionally, he put together a calendar and you can
• 1:24
  find it at dsscalendar.org. I think that's what it's called,
• 1:30
  DSS calendar.org, and that's for Dead Sea Scrolls calendar.org.
• 1:36
  And you'll see the Dead Sea Scroll date, the Gregorian date,
• 1:41
  and then also what he calls the Pharisee date.
• 1:43
  But that's the current modern day Jewish date.
• 1:47
  Like this, the year that you will see in Judaism will be the
• 1:53
  year 5786. When I first started studying
• 1:58
  the Bible, I was wondering 5786 from what?
• 2:01
  What does that mean? Where, where does where's the
• 2:04
  start point of that? And I believe that goes to the
• 2:10
  creation of man. That's where it starts from.
• 2:13
  But there have been leaders that have messed with the calendar.
• 2:19
  And so we have two different calendars we and they are off by
• 2:24
  a few 100 years. So that confuses everybody when
• 2:29
  you try and figure out dates. And not that we're supposed to
• 2:34
  be figuring out dates, but it, it's just, you know, when you
• 2:41
  set you, you just, there are questions that come to mind.
• 2:45
  And like I said, I was wondering because I always saw this, you
• 2:50
  know, whatever. I can't remember what year it
• 2:52
  was when I first started noticing the Jewish dates, but
• 2:57
  currently it's 5786 and then the Dead Sea Scroll is 5950 and then
• 3:04
  the Gregorian date is 2026. So all those dates like where
• 3:08
  did we start from, where are we going and what's the number?
• 3:12
  And if you haven't seen it already, there is a several
• 3:17
  different videos and they're called Messiah 2030 and they
• 3:24
  give biblical scripture that supports that the return of
• 3:32
  Jesus. There is anticipation in the
• 3:38
  year 2030, which is interesting because that's three years from
• 3:42
  now. And when I get into Ezekiel 39,
• 3:47
  your eyes are going to be open to something.
• 3:49
  But I'm not going to say it yet. I'm going to wait till we get
• 3:52
  into the text and show you. And this is something for
• 3:55
  consideration and prayer and the purpose of even talking about
• 4:00
  this. People get frustrated because
• 4:03
  they don't like date setting for anything.
• 4:06
  But Jesus also said that he indicated different seasons for
• 4:11
  things and that when we see the signs that we should be watching
• 4:16
  And the reason? The only reason the date matters
• 4:20
  to me personally. And it's not that a specific
• 4:24
  date matters, but if it is as close as it feels, then people
• 4:31
  really need to take their faith seriously and really need to
• 4:36
  prepare spiritually, which means to reconcile with God to, you
• 4:43
  know, put your faith in Jesus for salvation.
• 4:45
  Don't let don't be afraid of anything that comes.
• 4:49
  Know that know about the Kingdom of God.
• 4:51
  Know that there is a transition that's been foretold in
• 4:54
  Scripture that there is going to be this time of trouble, of
• 4:59
  tribulation, of wrath that happens before Jesus reigns as
• 5:05
  king on the earth for 1000 years.
• 5:09
  And during that time everything will be restored.
• 5:12
  It's, it's almost going to be like the Garden of Eden comes
• 5:16
  back to this earth and people are going to live longer.
• 5:20
  They're going to live like in the days of Noah when people
• 5:23
  were living it. Here's the presumption when
• 5:27
  people are living. You know, when you first read
• 5:30
  the book of Genesis and you see that people were 705 hundred
• 5:34
  years old, 900 years old, all those different ages.
• 5:38
  And, and the first time I read that, I thought, how could that
• 5:41
  be? But then you see that over time,
• 5:44
  the age of people was cut short were, were shortened.
• 5:48
  And, and I do believe that it's because of, of sin, that that's
• 5:56
  why the ages are shortened. But in the Millennium, what it
• 5:59
  does talk about is that if someone dies at 100, they'll be
• 6:03
  considered but a child. So that's what led me to believe
• 6:07
  that we're going to be back to the time of in Noah's time where
• 6:12
  people were living 500 and, you know, multiples of that in terms
• 6:19
  of their ages. And the other interesting thing
• 6:21
  about the Millennium time, when Jesus reigning is Christ, there
• 6:25
  will be, and there's scripture to support this.
• 6:29
  There will be mortal and immortal people on earth.
• 6:35
  So this will be really interesting.
• 6:37
  So they're going to be people that are ruling with Christ that
• 6:43
  will never die. They will, I mean, they have
• 6:46
  maybe have died already and they will come back to life and they
• 6:52
  will be in their perfected bodies and they will be ruling
• 6:56
  on earth with Jesus. Now this is going to be some
• 7:00
  really interesting cool time. And I, this is part of the
• 7:02
  reason why eschatology is so interesting because this is our
• 7:07
  future foretold by God revealed to his prophets and something we
• 7:12
  can learn for from. And this gives us hope about the
• 7:16
  future. And it does tell us there is a
• 7:18
  transition that during this transit transition, God is
• 7:23
  wiping out evil is essentially what happens and restoring and
• 7:29
  get and creating a safe place for those who accept him, those
• 7:34
  who either desire to be in his Kingdom.
• 7:38
  And, and then there is like a during Christ's reign, there is
• 7:42
  1000 years. And at the end of 1000 years,
• 7:46
  those who rejected Christ will be risen from the dead and they
• 7:52
  will have judgment. They will, they will be faced
• 7:56
  with judgment for what they have done.
• 7:58
  They will be judged in accordance with their their
• 8:02
  sins. They, those who do not accept
• 8:06
  Jesus, will receive punishment or a consequence.
• 8:10
  I guess a consequence is a better statement because God,
• 8:13
  God doesn't just punish, you know, to do that.
• 8:16
  He doesn't like that. But they will receive a
• 8:19
  consequence of their sin. So if they rejected Jesus, Jesus
• 8:24
  offers his blood on the cross for us and enables us to enter
• 8:32
  the Kingdom of God. It says without in Hebrews, it
• 8:35
  says without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness
• 8:38
  of sins. So Jesus's life, his blood that
• 8:44
  was shed on the cross is what enables us to arrive in the
• 8:49
  Kingdom of God. And if we don't accept that,
• 8:52
  that free gift to for us, if we don't accept that, then we're
• 8:58
  not protected by the blood of Jesus, Then we have to stand
• 9:03
  before God and be held accountable for every single
• 9:06
  thing we've done because we rejected Jesus as the mediator.
• 9:11
  It's kind of like a, you know, a lot of our laws are actually
• 9:14
  based on the laws of God. And Jesus is that mediator.
• 9:18
  He is that the one who, you know, stands up for us, if you
• 9:24
  want to say like our attorney in front of God, and he's
• 9:28
  protecting us by what he did on the cross.
• 9:31
  So this is a huge reason. I hope this is clear to people
• 9:35
  because it's so important. Anyway, I'm speaking too long on
• 9:39
  this right now, but that's really important.
• 9:41
  And I will get into the topic now.
• 9:44
  And let's start with a prayer. Dear Lord, please open our eyes
• 9:49
  and our ears and our hearts to what you have to say through
• 9:53
  your prophet Ezekiel, and let us apply this to our lives and to
• 9:57
  our relationship with you. We ask this in Jesus name and we
• 10:01
  also ask for the Holy Spirit. As you said in this chapter, at
• 10:06
  the very end, you will pour out your spirit.
• 10:09
  So I'm asking for your spirit to be poured out on anyone who
• 10:13
  listens to this podcast. That the truth and the Holy
• 10:18
  Spirit and the power that comes from the Holy Spirit be given to
• 10:24
  people who want to do your will and who are reconciled to you
• 10:28
  and just flood them with your Holy Spirit.
• 10:30
  I ask this also in the name of Jesus, Amen.
• 10:34
  All right, chapter 39, Son of Man, prophecy against Gog and
• 10:40
  and say this is what the Sovereign Lord says.
• 10:44
  I am against you, Gog, chief Prince of Meshech and Tubel.
• 10:48
  I will turn you around and drag you along.
• 10:52
  I will bring you from the far north and send you against the
• 10:57
  mountains of Israel. OK, I'm going to pause here
• 11:00
  because Mishek and Tubal and Gog.
• 11:03
  Gog means chief or leader and it's not certain.
• 11:08
  It's not a certain name as we understand, but it's rather a
• 11:11
  title. And then Mishek and Tubal Amir
• 11:16
  did a really great in his book Exploring Ezekiel.
• 11:20
  He did a great summary about the sons of Noah.
• 11:24
  And if you look at the lineage or the ancestry or the
• 11:27
  descendants from Jpeth, Jpeth was one of Noah's sons.
• 11:31
  There were three of them that were on Noah's ark with him and
• 11:37
  they went to different areas of the world and Jpeth and his
• 11:42
  descendants settled north of Israel.
• 11:46
  And then Ham settled primarily, I guess in like Africa and then
• 11:52
  Shem and his descendants settled in kind of the Middle Eastern
• 11:57
  portion, the Middle East, what we consider the Middle East.
• 12:00
  And so there that's where they spread and everything kind of
• 12:03
  centers around that like epicenter of the world.
• 12:08
  And So what this is saying is that someone from likely from
• 12:14
  Jpeth's region. So if you want to find out what
• 12:17
  that is, just do a search and find Jpeth front.
• 12:20
  You know, there's lots of maps that show the area that Jpeth's
• 12:24
  descendants are covered during that time.
• 12:28
  So it's someone from that area that God is talking to.
• 12:32
  And so that's that's about as good as we can get right now
• 12:35
  without really knowing the identity.
• 12:38
  So verse 3, then I will strike your bow from your left hand and
• 12:43
  make your arrows drop from your right hand.
• 12:47
  So God is going to he's going to overtake this person.
• 12:52
  This person has strength and power, but God is going to take
• 12:58
  it away from them. Verse 4, on the mountains of
• 13:02
  Israel, you will fall. So we're going to see, and this
• 13:07
  is interesting because of all the well, it's always been like
• 13:11
  as ever, ever since I was a child, I remember there's been
• 13:14
  conflict in the Middle East. So we know that this is
• 13:19
  everything centers around Israel.
• 13:21
  And so right now it's really important to pay attention
• 13:25
  what's going on in Israel. And we do see some of these
• 13:29
  alliances forming that are talked about in Ezekiel chapter
• 13:34
  38, which is future prophecy, which will be in our future at
• 13:38
  some point. And we are seeing these things
• 13:40
  form. So that's another reason why I
• 13:43
  say spiritually, it's a time to be prepared because we are not
• 13:47
  promised one day. We are not promised a day and so
• 13:52
  we need to be prepared so that when that day comes, we stand
• 13:58
  confident in front of God when we meet God, that we have
• 14:03
  confidence that we our relationship with him is good
• 14:06
  and we don't have fear. It says, you know, that anyone
• 14:09
  who fears God has not been made perfect in love, and God is
• 14:15
  love. When we repent and we turn to
• 14:19
  God, he remembers our sins no more.
• 14:22
  He forgives us, and he also places a the Holy Spirit within
• 14:29
  us. And the Holy Spirit begins to
• 14:31
  change our lives when we're not resisting him, when we're not
• 14:35
  resisting the Holy Spirit, because God still gives us free
• 14:37
  will. We can resist the Holy Spirit,
• 14:41
  but it's not wise to do that. It's wise to surrender to the
• 14:45
  Holy Spirit and let the Holy Spirit guide us.
• 14:49
  And when we respond to the Holy Spirit in a positive way, there
• 14:53
  is No Fear. We're not worried about God
• 14:56
  because we know we're doing his will.
• 14:57
  If we are being guided by the Holy Spirit, we're doing what
• 15:01
  God wants us to do, so then we, we just, you know, we welcome
• 15:06
  the day that Jesus returns. But people who are still in
• 15:09
  rebellion for the to Jesus because they want to hang on to
• 15:14
  their sins and they don't want to give up things they know
• 15:16
  they're doing that God doesn't want them to do.
• 15:19
  There is a fear. There is a genuine fear that
• 15:22
  they should have because when Jesus returns, its wrath.
• 15:26
  It's not the quiet Lamb who came for the sinners the first time
• 15:32
  he came to warn everybody. And it's we've had thousands of
• 15:35
  years of of having this Bible to read.
• 15:39
  And if we've rejected what it says in here, we're just going
• 15:43
  to suffer the consequences. That's the bottom line.
• 15:46
  So anyway, getting back to the Middle East in verse 4, on the
• 15:49
  mountains of Israel, you will fall, you and all your troops
• 15:54
  and the nations with you. You know we were talking about
• 15:57
  an alliance I will give you as food to all kinds of carrion
• 16:02
  birds and to the wild animals you will fall in the open field,
• 16:09
  for I have spoken, declares the Lord.
• 16:12
  I will send fire on Magog and those who live in safety on the
• 16:20
  coastlands, and they will know that I am the Lord again.
• 16:25
  I I believe Magog, I didn't look that up this time, but I think
• 16:29
  it's all it's definitely about the end times, GOG and Magog.
• 16:36
  So you might want to just do a search on that.
• 16:38
  But there are names of people that are in the descendants of
• 16:44
  Jpeth, so perhaps it's descendants of Jpeth that he's
• 16:49
  referring to. And I don't have all the
• 16:52
  answers. I'm just pointing out things
• 16:54
  that I found and learned from others who are educated in this
• 17:00
  and who and and also just from honestly, the Holy Spirit
• 17:07
  bringing to mind other verses as I read, because as I read this,
• 17:11
  I will give you as food to all kinds of carrion birds and to
• 17:15
  the wild animals. Immediately I thought of the
• 17:18
  Book of Revelation and I'm going to read that right now.
• 17:21
  It's Revelation chapter 19, verse 17.
• 17:24
  It starts and I saw an Angel standing in the sun, who cried
• 17:31
  out in a loud voice to all the birds flying in mid air.
• 17:36
  Come gather together for the great supper of God, so that you
• 17:43
  may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of
• 17:48
  horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and
• 17:54
  slave. Great and small.
• 17:58
  Now this is this is like a huge carnage that's happening and
• 18:03
  it's because of the wrath of God that comes about and and so
• 18:09
  anyway, it really truly sounds like this fits into that
• 18:13
  placement. There's a little bit more in
• 18:16
  chapter 19 from Revelation that I want to read and I will it
• 18:21
  also places the timing of when this happens.
• 18:24
  But we'll get back now to the book of Ezekiel chapter 39,
• 18:29
  verse seven. I will make known my holy name
• 18:33
  among my people, Israel. So I'm going to pause there.
• 18:38
  This is, I believe, about Jesus the Messiah, and Jesus is, you
• 18:45
  know, I think this is the revelation of Jesus that will
• 18:48
  happen, which is a future event because not all people in Israel
• 18:53
  believe about Jesus. So This is why I also say that
• 18:58
  this is in the future continuing verse seven, I will no longer
• 19:04
  let my holy name be profaned and the nations will know that I the
• 19:11
  Lord am the holy one in Israel. So this to me sounds like this
• 19:19
  is like Jesus saying yes, I'm the one I'm the holy one and and
• 19:25
  Israel and all nations. Do all nations know who God is?
• 19:30
  No, they don't today. But again, This is why it's
• 19:34
  going to be future verse 8. It is coming.
• 19:38
  It will surely take place declares the sovereign Lord.
• 19:42
  This is the day I have spoken of.
• 19:46
  Now when I read this is the day I have spoken of.
• 19:51
  There's if you want to search on an electronic version of the
• 19:55
  Bible. It's just search the day of the
• 19:58
  Lord and you will see all these references.
• 20:01
  We're going to read some of these different prophets.
• 20:04
  And again, God always gives us two or three witnesses for
• 20:08
  something. And we do have that.
• 20:10
  We have Isaiah, we have Jeremiah, we have Zephaniah and
• 20:14
  more and Jesus himself. I mean, and well, John, I guess
• 20:19
  it depends what part of Revelation because sometimes.
• 20:25
  Well, the Angel, whether it's the messenger, sometimes I in
• 20:30
  the Book of Revelation, there's there's definitely a reference
• 20:33
  to Jesus revealing things to John, but then there's also like
• 20:37
  an Angel or who is revealing things.
• 20:41
  So is it a literal Angel or is it the messenger and is that
• 20:46
  Jesus or is it someone separate from Jesus?
• 20:49
  I would have to read Scripture a little bit more carefully, but
• 20:53
  in the Book of Revelation, it there is there's definitely
• 20:56
  things that Jesus himself says, there are definitely things that
• 21:00
  John expresses from visions that he sees.
• 21:05
  And then there's this messenger that's referred to, and I
• 21:08
  haven't done a deep enough study to find out is that exclusively
• 21:14
  Jesus or is there another messenger involved with this
• 21:19
  revelation that occurred on the island of Patmos with John?
• 21:23
  Anyway, so the day of the Lord, that's about the return of Jesus
• 21:27
  and when he settles up everything, the wrath of God
• 21:30
  that comes about. So here's another timeline that
• 21:35
  is very interesting. In verse 9, then those who live
• 21:40
  in the towns of Israel will go out and use the weapons for fuel
• 21:47
  and burn them up. The small and large Shields, the
• 21:52
  bows and arrows, the war clubs and Spears.
• 21:56
  For seven years they will use them for fuel.
• 22:02
  Then it says they will not need to gather wood from the fields
• 22:07
  or cut it from the forest because they will use the
• 22:10
  weapons for fuel. Now here's an pay attention to
• 22:14
  this verse and they will plunder those who plundered them and
• 22:20
  loot those who looted them, declares the sovereign Lord.
• 22:26
  So there's a couple things that I thought of.
• 22:29
  First of all, they there's another verse I think also that
• 22:33
  says that they no longer need to prepare for war.
• 22:38
  Like there won't be like in the Millennium reign of Christ,
• 22:42
  there will not be war. It's going to be a time of peace
• 22:45
  for 1000 years. This is going to be so awesome
• 22:47
  again. But at this point I was trying
• 22:51
  to figure out, so does this occur during the Millennium, the
• 22:57
  seven years of like using the weapons for fuel?
• 23:00
  Is there this cleanup or is it before the Millennium?
• 23:06
  And I believe it's before the Millennium.
• 23:09
  And I'll, I'll tell you why in a minute, because I was searching
• 23:12
  this and it's actually because of Revelation chapter 19.
• 23:16
  Why I believe this happens before Millennium.
• 23:20
  And I also want to mention this is I'll, I'll do it in advance,
• 23:25
  but it's, it's really this next period or this next paragraph
• 23:30
  that comes up in the Bible. Let's see, in Ezekiel 29 verse
• 23:36
  11, Egypt will be desolate for 40 years.
• 23:41
  This has never happened. And my conclusion when I was
• 23:46
  reading that was that it isn't during the Millennium because
• 23:52
  there is no war during the Millennium.
• 23:56
  So this perhaps this is a presumption on my part.
• 24:01
  This is not fact, but what the Bible does say is that Egypt
• 24:07
  will be desolate for 40 years, and that hasn't happened yet.
• 24:11
  And I want to remind you about dates just for, you know, just
• 24:20
  to think about it and pray about it.
• 24:22
  So going back to the Dead Sea Scroll, the ancient Essenes
• 24:27
  believed that there was a 6000 year, 6000 years that were given
• 24:36
  to mankind for a purpose before Jesus returns.
• 24:43
  And Jesus then rules for 1000 years, which gets us to 7000.
• 24:49
  And then there's that verse. A day with the Lord is like 1000
• 24:54
  years. So a lot of Scripture
• 24:58
  interconnects, which we find when we study it.
• 25:02
  And just like creation, the seven days of creation, there's
• 25:08
  a pattern of seven days. There is also I guess Shabbat,
• 25:12
  there's the Sabbath, there's a lot of seven days, which seven
• 25:18
  days or seven years or 7 sevens, which are like 40-9 years.
• 25:24
  That is also in Bible prophecy. These are periods of
• 25:30
  significance and they are periods of arriving at
• 25:35
  completion. So the Dead Sea Scrolls, the
• 25:40
  ancient Essenes believed that we mankind would have 6000 years
• 25:47
  and then Jesus would return and reign for 1000 years.
• 25:52
  And then that would end at at at the year 7000.
• 25:56
  And then from that point on, the new heaven and the new earth
• 26:00
  would come down from heaven and we would be with God forever.
• 26:04
  And that would be like the beginning of eternity and and
• 26:09
  after judgement and in got in the new Jerusalem that comes out
• 26:15
  of the heavens and that's referred to in the Book of
• 26:17
  Revelation. So to give you a a mile marker
• 26:26
  of where we are right now, if we use the Dead Sea Scroll date, it
• 26:31
  says that we are in the year 5950.
• 26:36
  Now that is taken from the creation of the atom and they
• 26:39
  used genealogy and ancestry to arrive at that date.
• 26:46
  So if they are accurate with their date 5950, that means we
• 26:51
  have 50 more years before Jesus reigns.
• 26:56
  And a lot of people think, gosh, I can't believe it would be that
• 27:02
  long. And from now, like all the
• 27:04
  things that we're seeing in the world that are happening that do
• 27:07
  seem like Jesus is returning. Now there are there's also a lot
• 27:13
  of confusion about Jesus's return.
• 27:18
  And, and we there are beliefs that are named or labeled
• 27:26
  tribulation, mid tribulation and post tribulation where there are
• 27:32
  beliefs about Jesus's return. And I honestly wonder if all of
• 27:37
  them are right, but all of them are not complete.
• 27:40
  And because there are three different times where it
• 27:45
  describes Jesus and his interaction with humans coming
• 27:51
  back. OK, the first thing that is
• 27:55
  noted and you can find this is Jesus arrives in the clouds and
• 28:01
  multiple times both Jesus said it in Matthew 24 and the Book of
• 28:08
  Revelation also talks about it where Jesus is coming on the
• 28:12
  clouds. And if you also look at when
• 28:15
  Jesus ascended from after he died and he went up into the
• 28:21
  clouds and some of his disciples saw that and there were angels
• 28:24
  that were there and they said, don't worry.
• 28:27
  The way that he left is the same way that he will return.
• 28:32
  So I it it's very clear that Jesus will return on the clouds.
• 28:37
  Jesus himself said that in Matthew 24.
• 28:41
  So read that if you haven't. He will come on the clouds and
• 28:45
  with his angels. His angels will go and gather
• 28:49
  His elect, His chosen people, the one who have prepared
• 28:52
  themselves. Read also Matthew 25 because it
• 28:56
  talks about the 10 virgins. Now these are people who have
• 28:59
  quote prepared, but some of them don't have the Holy Spirit.
• 29:04
  They don't have the oil. So that's why I always tell
• 29:08
  everybody, if you don't have evidence of the Holy Spirit, if
• 29:12
  you don't know if you've had the Holy Spirit, please pray to
• 29:16
  Jesus because that's who gives the Holy Spirit, that you
• 29:20
  receive the Holy Spirit so that you can be made ready for His
• 29:24
  return. So anyway, Jesus when the elect,
• 29:28
  when the people are gathered, I believe it's the people who have
• 29:32
  the Holy Spirit who have prepared themselves.
• 29:34
  Just like the parable of the 10 virgins, it says that the door
• 29:39
  was shut and people are surprised.
• 29:41
  They're like, wait a second, I did all these things.
• 29:44
  And, and I think we have a lot of Christians today who believe
• 29:47
  they are prepared and ready to meet Christ, but they aren't
• 29:51
  living, being guided by the Holy Spirit.
• 29:54
  And I believe that's what the difference is.
• 29:57
  And the parable that Jesus told was roughly 50% of Christians.
• 30:02
  That's a big number. These are believers, but are
• 30:05
  they ready? Do they have the Holy Spirit?
• 30:08
  Are they ready for the return of Jesus?
• 30:12
  And this is a question we need to all ask ourselves because if
• 30:17
  this, you know, happens soon, which the return of Jesus on the
• 30:22
  clouds says, no one will know the day or the hour that he
• 30:26
  returns. But Jesus did say that we would
• 30:29
  know the season when we started to see all these things happen.
• 30:32
  So really slowly. Read Matthew 24 because Jesus
• 30:36
  outlines what's going to happen. He does say that the lawless one
• 30:43
  will be revealed and there is the great tribulation that
• 30:47
  occurs before this gathering of people.
• 30:50
  So whether that's just localized to Israel or that comes upon the
• 30:56
  whole earth, we don't know that question, that answer.
• 31:00
  So here's I need to clarify the three different times that Jesus
• 31:05
  returns and and I don't know, like the sequence of events and
• 31:09
  I talked about it a little bit in the prior chapter.
• 31:12
  But first of all, he definitely is coming in clouds with his
• 31:15
  angels together as elect. That's one.
• 31:17
  And everybody I think agrees that that is the first thing
• 31:21
  that happens. There's another time where his
• 31:25
  feet come down on the Mount of Olives, and I believe at that
• 31:32
  point there are also the 144,000, which are 12,000 from
• 31:40
  various tribes of Israel that are with him before the wrath
• 31:47
  occurs. It says in the Book of
• 31:49
  Revelation that an Angel goes and seals 12,000 from various
• 31:56
  tribes and those people are protected.
• 32:00
  Those are the remnants of of Israel.
• 32:04
  God has always done this. Whenever he's brought about,
• 32:07
  whenever he's allowed wrath to occur on Israel, He's always
• 32:13
  protected a small number of people because of his promise to
• 32:19
  Abraham, to Jacob, and to Isaac that he would make them into a
• 32:26
  great nation. And so in order to do that, he
• 32:30
  had to preserve life. And that is what he's doing.
• 32:34
  He's holding true to his promises.
• 32:37
  So when Jesus's feet come down and touch the mountain, it's
• 32:41
  going to split. And, and I think some will, you
• 32:46
  know, I don't really know the sequence of events or when that
• 32:49
  happens. And then there's another
• 32:52
  description of Jesus riding on a horse with his chosen ones, with
• 32:58
  him, with his elect that are with him are, you know, with
• 33:02
  those who you know. I, I don't know the time frame
• 33:06
  of when this happens or the sequence of it.
• 33:11
  I guess it does happen in that order, because before the wrath
• 33:16
  occurs, the 12,000 from each tribe totaling 144,000, whether
• 33:23
  that's a literal number or symbolic number, you know, I
• 33:27
  don't know. We can speculate on that.
• 33:30
  But whatever that number is, it's a portion.
• 33:33
  It's a small, a small portion, not every single one.
• 33:36
  So, but they are sealed before the wrath occurs because the
• 33:41
  angels are told to hold back on harming the earth until God's
• 33:46
  servants are sealed. And the ones from, I think it's,
• 33:51
  you know, until the people are sealed.
• 33:52
  So that that would have to come second.
• 33:56
  And then Jesus returning with the sword in his mouth and with
• 34:02
  all of his with the armies of heaven with him that is seems to
• 34:08
  be like the very next one like this is when the bloodbath
• 34:12
  occurs. So that is that is what it gives
• 34:18
  us about the return of Jesus, that there are separate events.
• 34:21
  So I believe also it does say in Scripture that those who have
• 34:28
  made themselves ready are not appointed to wrath.
• 34:33
  So when does Jesus come on the clouds and, you know, gather his
• 34:41
  people? There's a couple different, you
• 34:47
  know, it's, I guess it's, you know, like I said, that's why
• 34:51
  there's multiple viewpoints. There's a tribulation, there's
• 34:55
  mid tribulation and then there's tribulation.
• 35:01
  And so there's there's various viewpoints.
• 35:04
  And I think it's also important to distinguish between
• 35:10
  tribulation and wrath. There are two different words in
• 35:14
  Greek that are 1 is oh gosh, I don't even know if I recall it
• 35:20
  now, but it's like Tripolus or something.
• 35:23
  Our Tripolus. There's a you can look in
• 35:26
  blueletterbible.org search tribulation.
• 35:30
  Click on the toolbar and you will see the word for
• 35:34
  tribulation. I it starts with ATR and I don't
• 35:36
  remember what the trip tripless or something like that.
• 35:40
  And then look up wrath and it's called Orge ORGE.
• 35:47
  And so if you want to search in the Book of Revelation, check
• 35:51
  out all the times that those Greek words are used.
• 35:56
  And I think that clarifies what is wrath and what is tribulation
• 36:01
  because I think there's there's a difference.
• 36:03
  And those who have made themselves reconciled with God
• 36:08
  are not appointed to wrath. And so that's why I'm saying the
• 36:14
  things I'm saying is reconcile with God right now, so that
• 36:19
  whenever this happens, you are not going to be subject to God's
• 36:23
  wrath because I would not want to be there in tribulation.
• 36:27
  God will protect us in some manner and either he he will
• 36:32
  pull us out of it, He will protect us, make us invisible to
• 36:37
  the enemies that would come against us.
• 36:39
  But then it also there are people who do get killed during
• 36:43
  this time and they are believers and they are beheaded.
• 36:47
  But the point is that we need to have the faith that's strong
• 36:52
  enough that if that is what we are destined for, then we will
• 36:57
  be able to stand strong and actually accept that with the
• 37:03
  knowing that we will be in God's Kingdom, we will live forever.
• 37:08
  God will restore us. We don't have to worry about
• 37:10
  our, we will have perfected bodies.
• 37:13
  We're not going to have to worry about, you know, losing a member
• 37:17
  of our, our body, you know, and we're not going to be an
• 37:20
  eternity like that. God will restore and make us
• 37:23
  whole again. That's, that's, that's clear in
• 37:26
  Scripture. So we don't have to fear this.
• 37:31
  I think it's part of what the enemy's plan is, is to make
• 37:34
  everybody fear death. But if you know the Bible, if
• 37:38
  you know what it says, you know, and if actually, if you even
• 37:43
  listen to anybody who's had near death experiences, they didn't
• 37:46
  want to come back. They wanted to stay in the
• 37:48
  presence of the Lord. And whatever happens, like the
• 37:54
  to me, death is a transition into the presence of the Lord
• 37:58
  where people who have had new near death experiences have
• 38:03
  said, they said very similar things.
• 38:06
  They're like the, the place that they went to was like Earth, but
• 38:12
  everything was way more vivid. The flowers, the scents, the
• 38:17
  everything was just enhanced to a most beautiful level.
• 38:22
  And they also experienced this love that they never
• 38:27
  experienced, the love of Christ that they never experienced on
• 38:30
  Earth. And it was such a great feeling.
• 38:33
  They didn't want to come back to Earth.
• 38:36
  So I think God allows these things to happen with different
• 38:40
  people so that we can be assured that there is a future for us
• 38:46
  that we don't fear death, even if it does come to that with us,
• 38:50
  that we just trust in God and just just, you know, call on him
• 38:56
  in times of trouble. He wants to be our resource.
• 39:00
  He wants us to rely on him and and to acknowledge him as
• 39:05
  sovereign. He's in control of all of it and
• 39:09
  he can supernaturally do things that are impossible in
• 39:14
  accordance with science, the laws of physics, all these
• 39:18
  different things like there is God is God created all of it.
• 39:23
  So anyway, I I've kind of gone off the edge here, but let me
• 39:29
  pull this all back. The Dead Sea Scrolls said we are
• 39:33
  in the year 5950 and they believe Jesus would return in
• 39:38
  the year 6000. And that gives us 50 more years.
• 39:45
  There is a period where Egypt is going to be desolate for 40
• 39:49
  years. We know that there is a final
• 39:53
  seven years. So, you know, the final seven
• 39:58
  years could be within the 40 years.
• 40:00
  But if you add it together, there's 40 + 7.
• 40:04
  That's 47 years that are accounted for.
• 40:06
  And if we look at where we are today, that gives us three extra
• 40:09
  years. It's kind of interesting because
• 40:12
  of all the things that are happening globally and do appear
• 40:15
  to be setting up for this global leader.
• 40:20
  You know, are there in my mind, are there three more years that
• 40:24
  we get until all of this comes into fruition and the great
• 40:30
  tribulation starts? That's a question I don't know.
• 40:34
  But with there's a lot of people right now, like when when I got
• 40:40
  baptized in 2021, I started having spiritual dreams.
• 40:44
  I never in my life had any of those dreams.
• 40:47
  And I mean like I'm older too, so so it's not like I'm a child
• 40:55
  saying this. And so I, you know, it just, it
• 41:00
  just started happening in 2021 and, and I started searching to
• 41:04
  find out are other people having these dreams?
• 41:06
  And I'm going to talk about that too.
• 41:08
  And there are so many people from many different countries
• 41:14
  that are like in unison saying the same things and feeling the
• 41:19
  sense of urgency. And either this like there's
• 41:22
  this mass psychosis that's going over a huge population of the
• 41:28
  world right now, or this is true.
• 41:32
  Like this is coming up soon and people are warning people to
• 41:35
  prepare. And Jesus also says, well, in
• 41:38
  the book of Ezekiel, it says if the watchman knows that the
• 41:42
  sword is coming and doesn't warn the people, they will be held
• 41:45
  accountable. So is God using certain people
• 41:49
  because of his sovereignty, he chooses certain people to reveal
• 41:52
  things to and you know, says, you know, you better say these
• 41:57
  things, you better warn people because if you don't, they're
• 42:00
  going to perish. And, and I see that these people
• 42:04
  who are having dreams are having very similar dreams, very
• 42:09
  similar messages, and they are telling people to repent and to
• 42:13
  prepare for the return of the Lord.
• 42:16
  And that's exactly what these prophets did in the Old
• 42:21
  Testament. That was the same message.
• 42:24
  It was a message of repentance. And we don't really hear that a
• 42:27
  lot in churches today. So God is using people.
• 42:31
  You know, God always uses the lowly, if you want to call it,
• 42:38
  are the insignificant people to spread his message, which is
• 42:42
  really interesting if you look back on it.
• 42:44
  He didn't use like the great, powerful and mighty people to
• 42:47
  spread his word. He used the least likely people.
• 42:52
  And that's just the way God works.
• 42:53
  He surprises people by who he uses.
• 42:58
  So people that God is using, in my opinion, to tell others to
• 43:03
  prepare are just ever average, everyday people who have no
• 43:09
  significance at all. And but that's who God works
• 43:13
  through. He has historically, and I
• 43:16
  believe he is doing that today because of the consistent
• 43:19
  message and because it reflects what the Bible says and what the
• 43:23
  prophets of the Old Testament said.
• 43:25
  So anyway, you can heed the warning or you can ignore it,
• 43:30
  but it's it the evidence? Well, I guess it's not evidence,
• 43:36
  but the, the amount of information and people who are
• 43:42
  saying the same thing really causes a little bit of an alarm
• 43:46
  to me for people who are unprepared.
• 43:49
  And so prepare yourself with Christ.
• 43:52
  This is spiritual preparation. This isn't like doomsday
• 43:56
  preparation or anything like that.
• 43:57
  Forget about that stuff. I mean, if God tells you to do
• 44:00
  it, go ahead and do it. But the point, the most
• 44:03
  important thing is spiritually prepared.
• 44:06
  Make sure that you are right with God.
• 44:09
  So let's get back to the text, verse 11 from chapter 39.
• 44:15
  On that day I will give Gog A burial place in Israel, in the
• 44:19
  valley of those who travel east of the sea.
• 44:22
  It will block the way of travellers because Gog and all
• 44:26
  his hordes will be buried there. This is going to be a huge,
• 44:30
  huge, huge massacre basically. So it will be called the Valley
• 44:38
  of Haman Gog. When I saw Haman Gog, I thought
• 44:42
  about Haman in the story of Esther and Purim and all that.
• 44:46
  You can look that up separately. So verse 12, for seven months
• 44:51
  the Israelites will be burying them in order to cleanse the
• 44:56
  land. So is this preparation for the
• 45:00
  millennial reign of Christ like cleaning up the land?
• 45:04
  It says for seven months. Remember, now it's, it said
• 45:07
  seven years, they're going to be using the weapons for fuel.
• 45:12
  And then seven months, they're going to be going out burying
• 45:17
  these dead people who are on the mountains of Israel for seven
• 45:22
  months, all the people of verse 13, all the people of the land
• 45:27
  will bury them. And the day I display my glory
• 45:31
  will be a memorable day for them, declares the Lord.
• 45:37
  People will be continually employed in cleansing the land.
• 45:43
  Think about this, that there's going to be people that their
• 45:46
  own, they're employed, they're going to be working just to
• 45:50
  cleanse the land of the dead bodies that will be around.
• 45:53
  I mean, this is an awful depiction, but it is a beautiful
• 45:57
  thing that comes thereafter. But this is, these are evil
• 46:00
  people. These are people that are
• 46:02
  getting justice. Finally, they will be spread
• 46:07
  across the land and along with others, they will bury any
• 46:11
  bodies that are lying on the ground.
• 46:15
  This is what's coming in our future.
• 46:17
  After the seven months, they will carry out a more detailed
• 46:22
  search as they go through the land.
• 46:25
  Anyone who sees a human bone will leave a marker beside it
• 46:31
  until the grave digger diggers bury it in the valley of Haman
• 46:38
  Gog, which are near a town called Hamanah.
• 46:44
  It's HAMONAH. I'm not sure if I pronounced it
• 46:47
  correctly. And so they will cleanse the
• 46:51
  land. Son of Man, this is what the
• 46:53
  Sovereign Lord says. Call out to every kind of bird
• 46:58
  and all the wild animals. Assemble and come together from
• 47:02
  all around to the sacrifice. I am preparing for you, the
• 47:06
  great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel.
• 47:10
  There you will eat flesh and drink blood.
• 47:13
  You will eat the flesh of the mighty men and drink the blood
• 47:16
  of the Princess of the earth as if they were Rams and lambs,
• 47:23
  goats and bulls, all of them fattened animals from Bashan.
• 47:29
  I think Bashan is important and I didn't look that up.
• 47:33
  So I'm I might pause right here just to find the significance of
• 47:39
  Bashan. The significance of Bashan in
• 47:50
  the Bible. OK.
• 47:54
  In the Bible, Bashan represents a region of immense fertility,
• 47:59
  strength, and prosperity, often characterized by lush pasture
• 48:05
  pastures, oak trees, and rich cattle.
• 48:08
  Situated east of the Jordan River.
• 48:12
  It symbolized power and abundance, but also frequently
• 48:18
  represented arrogance, defiance, and heathen forces that were
• 48:23
  eventually conquered by God. So this is this is a little bit
• 48:30
  concerning power and abundance, you know, this is, this is going
• 48:35
  to lead to, you know, arrogance, defiance against God and heathen
• 48:39
  forces. So that's that's who these
• 48:44
  people are that's going to that are going to be among this
• 48:46
  carnage that God is saying to Ezekiel, call out to the birds
• 48:51
  and they're come and eat on this.
• 48:53
  I mean, it's a terrible display of the, the, the wrath of God
• 48:57
  that's going to come on to the people.
• 49:02
  In verse 21, he says I will display my glory among the
• 49:06
  nations and all nations will see the punishment I inflict in the
• 49:11
  hand I lay and the hand I lay on them.
• 49:15
  From that day forward, the people of Israel will know that
• 49:20
  I am the Lord. So once this carnage happens,
• 49:24
  then they're going to know that he is the Lord their God, and
• 49:30
  the nations will know that the people of Israel went into exile
• 49:33
  for their sin because they were unfaithful to me.
• 49:37
  Now this is important. All the other nations are
• 49:39
  finally going to say, oh, this is what happened in Israel
• 49:44
  because they sinned and they turned against God.
• 49:49
  That's why God allows this. So I hid my face from them and
• 49:54
  handed them over to their enemies, and they all fell by
• 49:59
  the sword. I dealt with them according to
• 50:03
  their uncleanness and their offenses, and I hid my face from
• 50:08
  them. Therefore, this is what the
• 50:11
  Sovereign Lord says. I will now restore the fortunes
• 50:16
  of Jacob, which is also Israel, and will have compassion on all
• 50:22
  the people of Israel, and I will be zealous for my holy name.
• 50:28
  Now this I believe is the Millennium.
• 50:31
  When Jesus restores everything in Israel, verse 26, they will
• 50:38
  forget their shame and all their unfaithfulness they showed
• 50:44
  toward me when they lived in safety in their land and with no
• 50:49
  one to make them afraid. When I have brought them back
• 50:54
  from the nations and have gathered them from the countries
• 50:58
  of their enemies, I will be proved holy through them in the
• 51:03
  sight of many nations. A lot of people that study
• 51:07
  eschatology say this is 1948 when people when Israel became a
• 51:12
  nation again and people started returning to Israel.
• 51:15
  It might have been the slow beginning.
• 51:17
  But I still think this is a future time and and we will get
• 51:22
  into some text about that because it relates to Basra and
• 51:27
  Edom, which is in Jordan. And when Jesus returns, he has
• 51:31
  blood on his robe and they and the vision it's in Isaiah, I
• 51:35
  believe, says, you know, where Lord, where are you coming from?
• 51:39
  And, and he says he comes, he came from Basra.
• 51:42
  There was a great slaughter. And I believe he releases, you
• 51:46
  know, he may release prisoners from there or he's just the
• 51:50
  vengeance is his. So there's going to be some
• 51:53
  vengeance that happens in in the land of Jordan today.
• 51:59
  So I will be proved holy through them in the sight of many
• 52:02
  nations. Then they will know that I am
• 52:05
  the Lord their God. For though I sent them into
• 52:09
  exile among the nations, I will gather them to their own land,
• 52:14
  not leaving any behind. I heard of someone give some
• 52:21
  statistics that said that they're, I don't know if it was
• 52:24
  like a ratio or actual number, but someone said like in New
• 52:31
  York, there are actually more Jewish people than in Israel.
• 52:35
  And I don't know if it's per capita or if it's actual
• 52:38
  numbers. But obviously if we have, if
• 52:42
  there are currently Jewish people living in New York in the
• 52:46
  USA, they are not in Israel yet. And I believe when Jesus says I,
• 52:52
  you know, he's going to bring all of them back, I have a
• 52:56
  feeling there's going to be a bigger, a greater number than
• 52:59
  what exists today. I will note.
• 53:02
  And maybe that's why all this anti-Semitism is happening where
• 53:05
  people that are Jewish are feeling unsafe in New York.
• 53:10
  And maybe that's why Mamdani has been appointed because God is
• 53:14
  fulfilling prophecy and Momdamni is, you know, reading from the
• 53:19
  Quran and, you know, wants to put in Islamic type rules, which
• 53:27
  in radical Islam they want to extinguish Jewish people and
• 53:33
  Christians from the face of the earth.
• 53:36
  So you know, something to pay attention to, OK, I will no
• 53:43
  longer hide my face from them for I will pour out my spirit on
• 53:48
  the people of Israel declares the sovereign Lord.
• 53:51
  This is the Holy Spirit. So when, you know, there's many
• 53:55
  times in in Bible prophecy where Jesus says, I will, you know,
• 53:59
  remove their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh that
• 54:03
  that's, you know, like they're not going to have a hardened
• 54:08
  push back to God. They're going to become soft and
• 54:13
  God's spirit is going to penetrate their hearts and turn
• 54:18
  them towards God. And this is something again in
• 54:22
  the future. But there's also something that
• 54:24
  I wonder, is that happening right now?
• 54:26
  Is God doing that? Is he pouring out his spirit?
• 54:30
  Because if you the only reason I know this is because when I say
• 54:38
  I know this about people having dreams is what I was referring
• 54:40
  to is I, when I started having dreams in 2021, when I after I
• 54:45
  got baptized and committed to God, I didn't want to be a
• 54:49
  hypocrite anymore living, you know, calling myself a
• 54:51
  Christian, but not living like 1.
• 54:53
  And that's when my dreams started.
• 54:56
  And I've had probably over 96 since then, 96 dreams that are
• 55:02
  like spiritual of spiritual significance.
• 55:06
  And, and so when all this started happening to, to me
• 55:10
  personally, I was like, is this happening to anybody else?
• 55:13
  This is weird. I don't know what's going on.
• 55:15
  And so I started searching it and I did find a couple of
• 55:19
  YouTube channels where people are sharing their dreams and I
• 55:24
  started seeing, wow, we're all having kind of the same dreams.
• 55:27
  They may be a little bit different.
• 55:29
  Sometimes the dreams are personalized and more reflected,
• 55:33
  I mean more directed to us personally, which most of my
• 55:40
  dreams were more like personal messages.
• 55:43
  They weren't things that I needed to share with the world.
• 55:47
  But there are people who are having dreams that are meant, I
• 55:52
  think, to be shared with the world and basically for telling
• 55:55
  people to prepare, repent, get right with God, get close to God
• 55:59
  and lean on God for your, your safety, your security, rely on
• 56:05
  him, him alone, and he will protect you.
• 56:08
  He is a good God. He is a good father and he loves
• 56:12
  his children. And he will respond when we are
• 56:15
  in need. So the I'm we've concluded with
• 56:20
  chapter 39. And so I want to read some
• 56:23
  things now. When we were talking about the
• 56:25
  timing, we talked about this great carnage that's going to
• 56:29
  happen. And Revelation 19 talks about
• 56:32
  the carnage in verses 17 and 18. And then verse 19 it says then I
• 56:39
  saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies
• 56:43
  gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse
• 56:49
  and his army. So this is the the beast that
• 56:53
  Daniel saw and the kings there's like I guess 7 or 10 kings.
• 56:59
  There were 10 kings at one point, but then one king who is
• 57:05
  the 8th king but belongs to the rest and he is that lawless 1 he
• 57:09
  replaces 3 of the kings. So there's like 7 kings and
• 57:14
  again that 7 is like a completion.
• 57:18
  So when the beast finally forms and the beast is actually Satan
• 57:22
  is involved, the Satan gives power to the beast.
• 57:27
  So the beast is symbolic and so but it's made-up of these kings.
• 57:34
  And quite honestly, recently when I was studying the Book of
• 57:37
  Revelation, I have this question or this assumption it because it
• 57:45
  talks about the the beast and the kings.
• 57:46
  They only have rain over the earth.
• 57:49
  Actually for 3 1/2 years they do.
• 57:53
  But I don't know if these are actually human kings or if they
• 58:01
  are actually demonic things that maybe inhabit people.
• 58:09
  Because here's why I say it. In the Book of Revelation it
• 58:13
  talks about the midpoint. An Angel comes down from heaven
• 58:19
  and has the keys to the abyss. That's the place where these
• 58:24
  angels are imprisoned or held until the day of the Lord.
• 58:28
  And he, the Angel opens up the abyss and the smoke from that
• 58:35
  makes the sun not shine. It almost seems, and I could be
• 58:41
  wrong on this, but it almost seems like when Jesus comes
• 58:48
  down. I mean, it does say very clearly
• 58:51
  throughout many prophets and even in Jesus's own words and
• 58:55
  the Book of Revelation that the sun will not shine.
• 58:59
  And I think the moon turns to blood red or the moon doesn't
• 59:02
  give its light, but it turns to blood red.
• 59:04
  And the stars fall from the sky. And the stars in the Book of
• 59:08
  Revelation represent angels, represent fallen angels that
• 59:13
  come to earth. And if that is the case where
• 59:16
  they are disbanded from heaven, they no longer can be in the
• 59:20
  heavenly realms because they they've been given their time
• 59:24
  and they are rebellious to God. And God says, you're out of
• 59:27
  here. You know, you're, you go, you're
• 59:29
  down, you're stuck down on earth.
• 59:31
  And one of these angels has the key, was given the key because
• 59:35
  Jesus has the key to it, but he gives it to one of the angels
• 59:39
  and they open up the abyss. And what comes out of there,
• 59:42
  This is part of the wrath of God, I believe are all of these
• 59:47
  demonic entities that go against humankind.
• 59:52
  It says that people are going to fail out of you know, they're
• 59:56
  going to their hands will go limp.
• 59:59
  It says they're going to wet themselves with urine when they
• 1:00:02
  see what's coming. Like this isn't.
• 1:00:05
  I just think it could be something.
• 1:00:08
  Bigger and spiritual than what everybody's thinking, because
• 1:00:11
  right now everybody's trying to think, well, who are these 10
• 1:00:13
  kings? And they're trying to put names
• 1:00:15
  on these kings and names on the beast.
• 1:00:17
  And, and maybe they are people and getting into like demons
• 1:00:23
  versus fallen angels. I was unclear about that.
• 1:00:27
  But after listening to a lot of people who have studied this,
• 1:00:31
  there is a belief that demons are the disembodied spirits of
• 1:00:38
  the Nephilim. The Nephilim are talked about in
• 1:00:43
  Genesis, I think chapter 6, where the sons of God are the
• 1:00:48
  angels procreated with human women and they had offspring.
• 1:00:55
  And these offspring were called the the great men are the mighty
• 1:00:59
  men, and they were actually called the giants.
• 1:01:04
  There is historical context in the Bible, I think in the Book
• 1:01:07
  of Kings maybe, or Chronicles, I don't I can't remember which,
• 1:01:11
  but where it talks about the kings of Ogg and Sion.
• 1:01:15
  And it talks about, I think it's the king of Ogg's bed was 13
• 1:01:19
  feet. Now these these beings that come
• 1:01:25
  from the angels and humans, they, they're not human and
• 1:01:32
  they're not angelic. There's something different.
• 1:01:35
  And they are, you know, distorted.
• 1:01:37
  They are giants. So I guess when I was first
• 1:01:42
  reading the book about David and Goliath and knowing that Goliath
• 1:01:45
  was a giant, you know, we we all think it's a myth or a fable.
• 1:01:49
  But if you when you read the Bible and you look at these
• 1:01:54
  things about these angels and humans procreating and creating
• 1:01:58
  these offspring that are called Nephilim and you search like
• 1:02:02
  even the in the Hebrew word, there were many different, if
• 1:02:08
  you want to call them like clusters of people.
• 1:02:11
  I think those were the ones that were actually in the land of
• 1:02:15
  Canaan. And that's why God said to the
• 1:02:17
  Israelites, go and defeat them and take over that land.
• 1:02:22
  I believe these were the Nephilim that were settling
• 1:02:24
  there and God was saying, no, they're getting out and you're
• 1:02:28
  going to do it. But the Israelites didn't always
• 1:02:30
  listen to God. They did partial and then they,
• 1:02:34
  you know, like Saul, he did a little bit of it, but then he
• 1:02:37
  thought, oh, I'm going to take the good stuff and keep it.
• 1:02:38
  And God's like, no, that's why he was saying, you know, you
• 1:02:41
  cannot take anything. Do not take any plunder from
• 1:02:43
  certain groups when God told them to go at war against these
• 1:02:48
  entities. So it's really interesting to
• 1:02:52
  really get deep into the Scripture and it all makes
• 1:02:55
  sense. All the pieces come together
• 1:02:57
  because this is like a spiritual battle for territory.
• 1:03:02
  That's what we are experiencing here on earth.
• 1:03:04
  And Ephesians chapter 6, verse 12 tells us that that we're not
• 1:03:08
  fighting against human beings. There are spiritual forces
• 1:03:11
  behind these these beings and and again, like if they are not
• 1:03:16
  surrendered to God, if they don't have the Holy Spirit,
• 1:03:19
  something demonic, which is a theory that this demonic thing,
• 1:03:26
  the spirit is is is what can inhabit a person.
• 1:03:32
  Now the Bible does tell us about that.
• 1:03:36
  So what happened? Let's go back to the Nephilim
• 1:03:40
  and you know, when So all these giants are populating all over
• 1:03:43
  the earth and they're corrupting the DNA.
• 1:03:47
  And their purpose of corrupting is to corrupt all mankind so
• 1:03:51
  that Jesus can't come and be that sacrifice.
• 1:03:56
  So that's why it's so important. Like Mary was a virgin and she
• 1:04:00
  was, she was clean, you know, from this.
• 1:04:03
  And God saw what was happening, and that's why God sent the
• 1:04:08
  flood over the entire earth, and he drowned these Nephilim in the
• 1:04:17
  sea. So their physical bodies were no
• 1:04:22
  longer present, but because of their mixture with a human, they
• 1:04:27
  had a soul or a demon. And those are the disembodied
• 1:04:32
  spirits. This is a theory again so, but
• 1:04:36
  this is something that I've heard and I'm sharing and it it
• 1:04:38
  does make sense that these disembodied spirits were
• 1:04:42
  leftover after the Nephilim bodily were eliminated.
• 1:04:48
  So they are they are present now.
• 1:04:52
  Jesus talked about if someone cleans up their house, meaning
• 1:04:58
  their own body, like this is my house, my body and and I get rid
• 1:05:04
  of unclean things. But if I don't keep the Holy
• 1:05:09
  Spirit by staying in the word of God and staying closely
• 1:05:14
  connected to God. If I don't have the Holy Spirit
• 1:05:18
  with me, then one of these demon spirits that is out there goes
• 1:05:26
  searching for somewhere, someone who doesn't have the Holy Spirit
• 1:05:31
  so that they can inhabit that person.
• 1:05:35
  And you can get rid of that if you if that's affected you.
• 1:05:40
  And that is like a casting out of a demon.
• 1:05:43
  And but The thing is, once you do that, you must have the Holy
• 1:05:48
  Spirit to guard you. If you don't, if you still
• 1:05:51
  reject, like say you were delivered from that demonic
• 1:05:54
  spirit then and you don't have the Holy Spirit, you're not
• 1:05:59
  protected. Jesus says that holy, that the
• 1:06:03
  not holy, the unholy, the demon goes out searching for another
• 1:06:08
  body. If he doesn't find it, he brings
• 1:06:10
  other demons that he finds and they all go back to that person
• 1:06:15
  who doesn't have the Holy Spirit.
• 1:06:17
  And that condition of the person is worse than the first time
• 1:06:21
  when they had the demon. So this is also another reason
• 1:06:25
  to have the Holy Spirit stay close to God.
• 1:06:30
  Because these are things that I believe after years of studying
• 1:06:35
  this and, you know, not being sure about it.
• 1:06:37
  And I know this is going to probably be a lot for somebody
• 1:06:42
  to accept, but pray about it. Ask God about it.
• 1:06:46
  Ask God you know, if this is not true to reveal it or if it is
• 1:06:50
  true to reveal it. So don't take my word for it,
• 1:06:53
  but I'm just sharing with you what I've learned from very well
• 1:06:59
  educated people who have studied this for 40 or more years, study
• 1:07:07
  scripture and come to these conclusions.
• 1:07:09
  And when I cross check it, I don't see holes in it.
• 1:07:15
  So just something to to think about, but so getting back to
• 1:07:21
  this, this timing, so this, there's this huge carnage.
• 1:07:25
  And in Revelation 19, there's this huge carnage of people that
• 1:07:29
  this is the wrath of God. And then it says, Then I saw the
• 1:07:32
  beast, and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered
• 1:07:34
  together to wage war against the rider of the horse and his army.
• 1:07:38
  But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who
• 1:07:43
  had performed the signs on its behalf.
• 1:07:46
  With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark
• 1:07:51
  of the beast and worshipped its image.
• 1:07:53
  The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of
• 1:07:57
  burning sulfur. The rest were killed with the
• 1:08:00
  sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all
• 1:08:04
  the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
• 1:08:08
  So this is when Jesus returns on that heart horse that third time
• 1:08:13
  with his armies, and they defeat this beast, this spiritual beast
• 1:08:19
  in the kings of the earth. And then this is when the the
• 1:08:24
  beasts, all the, you know, the beast and the false prophet are
• 1:08:29
  both thrown into like anyway, thrown into the burning lake of
• 1:08:34
  sulfur. And eventually that's where
• 1:08:36
  Satan goes. But Satan is locked up for 1000
• 1:08:39
  years. I have no idea why we don't know
• 1:08:42
  everything in the Bible, but he's released after 1000 years
• 1:08:46
  and then they he comes against Jesus again, but then he's
• 1:08:51
  defeated without any effort. I mean God just takes care of it
• 1:08:53
  and then he is also thrown into the burning like a sulfur where
• 1:08:59
  the beast and the false prophet were thrown.
• 1:09:03
  OK, so then getting back to this thing about Basra and about
• 1:09:14
  Jesus when he comes back and I'll I'll read you some things
• 1:09:19
  that some verses. So in Isaiah, this is one of the
• 1:09:23
  witnesses. Like I said, God established 2
• 1:09:26
  to 3 witnesses to establish truth.
• 1:09:29
  So we're going to see it from Isaiah, from Jeremiah and
• 1:09:32
  Zephaniah. So Isaiah says verse OK, chapter
• 1:09:38
  34, verse 5, my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens.
• 1:09:45
  See it descends in judgement on Edom.
• 1:09:49
  The people I have totally destroyed Edom is modern day
• 1:09:53
  Jordan. Now this is interesting and I
• 1:09:56
  this is the first time I've really thought about this.
• 1:09:58
  It said my sword this is talking about the sword of the Lord
• 1:10:01
  Jesus has has drunk its fill in the heavens.
• 1:10:06
  So this sounds like this is when the battle between the evil
• 1:10:12
  angels and the good angels happens, and this is the sword
• 1:10:17
  of God that's coming against these fallen angels, these
• 1:10:20
  angels who were in rebellion to God.
• 1:10:22
  It says my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens.
• 1:10:27
  So this to me sounds like that midpoint of the tribulation
• 1:10:33
  where stars fall from the sky as recorded in the Book of
• 1:10:36
  Revelations. The stars are the angels.
• 1:10:38
  Those are the fallen angels, and they are thrown down to the
• 1:10:41
  earth. And it says woe to the earth
• 1:10:43
  because of what's coming on them.
• 1:10:45
  And there are 3 1/2 years for the earth to endure when these
• 1:10:51
  fallen ones come down. OK then verse 6 says the sword
• 1:10:56
  of the Lord is bathed in blood. It is covered with fat, the
• 1:11:01
  blood of lambs and goats, fat from the kidneys of Rams.
• 1:11:05
  For the Lord has a sacrifice in Basra and a great slaughter in
• 1:11:12
  the land of Edom. So there's going to be a great
• 1:11:15
  slaughter in the modern day Jordan, and the wild oxen will
• 1:11:19
  fall with them, the bull calves and the great bulls.
• 1:11:22
  Their land will be drenched with blood, and the dust will be
• 1:11:26
  soaked with fat. For the Lord has a day of
• 1:11:29
  vengeance, a year of retribution to uphold Zion's cause.
• 1:11:36
  Zion is another name for Jerusalem.
• 1:11:39
  Edom, or in other words, Jordan. Edom's strings will be turned
• 1:11:43
  into pitch, her dust into burning sulfur.
• 1:11:47
  Her land will become blazing pitch.
• 1:11:50
  It will not be quenched day or night.
• 1:11:53
  It's smoke will rise forever. From generation to generation.
• 1:11:59
  It will lie desolate. No one will ever pass through it
• 1:12:04
  again, you know. Has that happened?
• 1:12:07
  I don't think so. The desert owl and screech owl
• 1:12:11
  will possess it. The great owl and the Raven will
• 1:12:15
  nest there. Now in the Old Testament these
• 1:12:18
  were considered unclean animals. God will stretch out over Edom,
• 1:12:24
  the measuring line of chaos and the plum line of desolation.
• 1:12:29
  Her nobles will have nothing there to be called a Kingdom.
• 1:12:34
  All her Princess will vanish away.
• 1:12:38
  Thorns will overrun her, citadels, nettles and brambles
• 1:12:41
  her strongholds. She will become a haunt for
• 1:12:44
  jackals, a home for owls. Desert creatures will meet with
• 1:12:50
  the hyenas, and wild goats will bleat to each other.
• 1:12:54
  There. The night creatures will also
• 1:12:57
  line down, lie down, and find for themselves places of rest.
• 1:13:01
  The owl will nest there and lay eggs.
• 1:13:03
  She will hatch them and care for her young under the shadow of
• 1:13:06
  her wings. They're also The Falcons will
• 1:13:08
  gather, each with its mate, look in the scroll of the Lord and
• 1:13:14
  read. None of these will be missing.
• 1:13:17
  Not one will lack her mate, for it is in His mouth that has
• 1:13:22
  given the order, and His Spirit will gather them together.
• 1:13:28
  He allots their portions, His hand distributes them by
• 1:13:32
  measure. They will possess it forever and
• 1:13:35
  dwell there from generation to generation.
• 1:13:39
  Very interesting. Then in Jeremiah chapter 46,
• 1:13:43
  verse 10. Here's what Jeremiah says.
• 1:13:45
  But that day, you know, the day of the Lord belongs to the Lord,
• 1:13:50
  the Lord Almighty, a day of vengeance for vengeance on his
• 1:13:55
  foes. The sword will devour till it is
• 1:13:58
  satisfied, till it is it has quenched its thirst with blood
• 1:14:04
  for the Lord, The Lord Almighty, will offer sacrifice in the land
• 1:14:09
  of the north by the river Euphrates.
• 1:14:12
  Now that Euphrates River runs through Iraq and into other
• 1:14:19
  nearby countries. So this is a different area.
• 1:14:22
  This is not Jordan, but I'm not sure you might need to look at a
• 1:14:26
  map to see where does the river Euphrates.
• 1:14:28
  And it's talking about north. So there's there's all of this
• 1:14:33
  as part of it. So go up to Gilead and get Balm,
• 1:14:37
  virgin daughter Egypt. Now we're talking about Egypt.
• 1:14:40
  OK, so now we're going West. But you try many medicines in
• 1:14:46
  vain. There is no healing for you.
• 1:14:49
  Remember also in Ezekiel 29 verse 11 where Egypt is desolate
• 1:14:54
  for 40 years and that hasn't happened yet.
• 1:14:58
  And we have 50 more years until we get to the year 6000 in the
• 1:15:01
  Dead Sea Scrolls. Just think about it.
• 1:15:04
  The nations will hear of your shame, your cries will fill the
• 1:15:08
  earth. 1 warrior will stumble over another.
• 1:15:11
  Both will fall down together. This is the message the Lord
• 1:15:15
  spoke to Jeremiah the prophet about the coming of
• 1:15:18
  Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, to attack Egypt.
• 1:15:23
  Announce this in Egypt and proclaim it in Migdal.
• 1:15:25
  Proclaim it also in Memphis and Temphonies.
• 1:15:28
  Hold. Take your possession positions
• 1:15:32
  and get ready for the sword devours those around you.
• 1:15:35
  Why will your warriors be laid low?
• 1:15:37
  They cannot stand, for the Lord will push them down.
• 1:15:40
  They will stumble repeatedly. They will fall over each other.
• 1:15:43
  They will say, get up, let's go back to our own people and our
• 1:15:46
  native lands, away from the sword of the oppressor.
• 1:15:49
  There they will exclaim, Pharaoh, King of Egypt is only a
• 1:15:52
  loud noise. He has surely missed his
• 1:15:54
  opportunity. As surely as I live, declares
• 1:15:58
  the Lord, whose name is the Lord Almighty.
• 1:15:59
  One will come who is like Tabor among the mountains, like
• 1:16:03
  caramel by the sea. Pack your belongings for exile.
• 1:16:07
  You who live in Egypt for Memphis will be laid waste and
• 1:16:12
  lie in ruins without inhabitant. Egypt is a beautiful heifer, but
• 1:16:19
  a gadfly is coming against her from the north.
• 1:16:22
  The mercenaries in her ranks are like fattened calves.
• 1:16:25
  They too will turn and flee together.
• 1:16:26
  They will not stand their ground, for the day of disaster
• 1:16:29
  is coming upon them, the time for them to be punished.
• 1:16:33
  Egypt will hiss like a fleeing serpent.
• 1:16:37
  So it's not giving a very good connotation for Egypt.
• 1:16:41
  A fleeing serpent. As the enemy advances in force,
• 1:16:45
  they will come against her with axes.
• 1:16:47
  Like men who cut down trees, they will chop down her forest.
• 1:16:50
  Dense though it may be, they are more numerous than locust that
• 1:16:55
  cannot be counted. You know, in Revelation it talks
• 1:16:58
  about these locusts coming up and they are like spiritual
• 1:17:00
  entities. And again, trees are also, if
• 1:17:03
  you do a study on trees, which I meant to do but haven't done
• 1:17:06
  yet, there's trees are symbolic of different strongholds or
• 1:17:10
  different nations or I think maybe even different spiritual
• 1:17:14
  entities. So some of this stuff when it,
• 1:17:17
  it personifies it as a person, but I also believe there is a
• 1:17:20
  spirit behind it all. In Jeremiah 4624 it says
• 1:17:25
  daughter, Egypt will be put to shame, given into the hands of
• 1:17:28
  the people of the north. The Lord Almighty, the God of
• 1:17:31
  Israel, says I am about to bring punishment on Amon, God of
• 1:17:36
  thieves, on Pharaoh, on Egypt and her gods and her kings, and
• 1:17:42
  on those who rely on Pharaoh. I will give them into the hands
• 1:17:45
  of those who want to kill them. Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon,
• 1:17:48
  and his officers. Later, however, Egypt will be
• 1:17:52
  inhabited as in times past, declared the Lord.
• 1:17:56
  Do not be afraid, Jacob, my servant.
• 1:17:58
  Do not be dismayed, Israel. I will surely save you out of a
• 1:18:02
  distant place, your descendants from the land of their exile.
• 1:18:05
  Jacob will again have peace and security, and no one will make
• 1:18:10
  him afraid. Well, that certainly hasn't
• 1:18:11
  happened yet. Do not be afraid, Jacob, my
• 1:18:14
  servant, for I am with you, declares the Lord.
• 1:18:16
  Though I completely destroy all nations among which I scatter
• 1:18:22
  you, I will not completely destroy you.
• 1:18:26
  I will discipline you, but only in due measure.
• 1:18:30
  I will not let you go entirely unpunished.
• 1:18:34
  Now reading that, it sounds like, well, this already
• 1:18:36
  happened because of Nebuchadnezzar.
• 1:18:38
  But when you study Bible prophecy, sometimes there is
• 1:18:43
  both a current or a near future prophecy, but then a long term
• 1:18:53
  faraway prophecy that is given at the same time.
• 1:18:56
  And if you look at history, it often repeats itself.
• 1:19:00
  So perhaps this was partially fulfilled but not fully because
• 1:19:05
  again, just search and try and find in history, has Egypt ever
• 1:19:10
  been desolate for 40 years? Now God promises A restoration
• 1:19:15
  and even for Egypt too, there's another verse in Scripture that
• 1:19:18
  talks about I think it's a Syria and Egypt and Israel that you
• 1:19:25
  know God is going to restore them.
• 1:19:26
  So God is merciful. Then let's go to Zephaniah
• 1:19:34
  chapter 1, verse 7. Be silent before the sovereign
• 1:19:38
  Lord, for the day of the Lord is near.
• 1:19:42
  The Lord has prepared a sacrifice.
• 1:19:44
  He has consecrated those He has invited on the day of the Lord's
• 1:19:50
  sacrifice. I will punish the officials and
• 1:19:53
  the King's sons and all those clad in foreign clothes on that
• 1:19:57
  day. I will punish all who avoid
• 1:20:00
  stepping on the threshold, who fill the temple of their gods
• 1:20:05
  with violence and deceit. On that day, declares the Lord,
• 1:20:10
  a cry will go up. From the fish gate, whaling to
• 1:20:14
  the new quarter and a loud crash from the hills, whale you who
• 1:20:19
  live in the market district, all your merchants will be wiped
• 1:20:24
  out, all who trade with silver will be destroyed.
• 1:20:29
  At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish
• 1:20:34
  those who are complacent, who are like wine left on its dregs,
• 1:20:40
  who think the Lord will do nothing either good or bad.
• 1:20:43
  Their wealth will be plundered, their houses demolished.
• 1:20:47
  Though they build houses, they will not live in them.
• 1:20:49
  Though they plant vineyards, they will not drink the wine.
• 1:20:52
  The great day of the Lord is near, near and coming quickly.
• 1:20:57
  The cry on the day of the Lord is bitter.
• 1:21:00
  The mighty warrior shouts his battle cry.
• 1:21:03
  That day will be a day of wrath, OK wrath, a day of distress and
• 1:21:12
  anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and
• 1:21:18
  gloom, a day of clouds and blackness, a day of trumpet and
• 1:21:24
  battle cry against the fortified cities and against the corner
• 1:21:29
  towers. I will bring such distress on
• 1:21:33
  all people that they will grope about like those who are blind
• 1:21:38
  because they have sinned against the Lord.
• 1:21:42
  Their blood will be poured out like dust and their entrails
• 1:21:45
  like dung. I'm going to pause for a minute
• 1:21:48
  because this is really interesting.
• 1:21:49
  Groping about like those who are blind.
• 1:21:54
  When I had my very first rapture dream, I all of a sudden
• 1:22:01
  everything went black. The black is black and I
• 1:22:06
  couldn't even see my hand in front of my face and I was
• 1:22:09
  literally putting my hand out trying to find.
• 1:22:13
  It was a dream of like a cabin that I was on it that I was at
• 1:22:17
  and I was trying to get back to safety basically and and I was
• 1:22:24
  groping about like blind like my hand was out.
• 1:22:27
  I didn't want to run into anything, but I couldn't see
• 1:22:29
  anything. And something made me turn
• 1:22:32
  around and look. And when I did, light was coming
• 1:22:36
  from a cloud. There was this rolling cloud and
• 1:22:41
  it, it, it was something so interesting to me that I was
• 1:22:45
  like, what is going on there? It was like it was above water
• 1:22:49
  and it was like a, it was like a flat cloud that was maybe, you
• 1:22:54
  know, 2 feet above the water. You know, like on a fog foggy
• 1:22:58
  morning, when a fog lifts from water, it will be like a
• 1:23:02
  separation of air between the cloud and the, the lake itself.
• 1:23:08
  And this is what I saw in my dream.
• 1:23:10
  And this, this cloud was it was flat, but then the edge of it
• 1:23:15
  was kind of rolling like a wave, but in an upward motion, like it
• 1:23:19
  was the cloud was like coming forward and there was it was
• 1:23:24
  light and it was rolling upward. And then in this strange, like
• 1:23:28
  symbolic way, it was really weird.
• 1:23:31
  I saw the outline of like like on a women's restroom or
• 1:23:36
  something like that, you know, like the, it looks like a
• 1:23:38
  gingerbread, a girl gingerbread. I mean, that's what I saw.
• 1:23:41
  And it was like, it was, it was like the material of it was
• 1:23:45
  actually like the, the cloud material, but the shape was very
• 1:23:50
  clear that I was seeing. And that caught my attention.
• 1:23:54
  I was like, what the heck is that in my dream?
• 1:23:56
  I even thought it was strange and it's like it's like
• 1:24:00
  connected to the cloud and it's like like a flag flowing in the
• 1:24:04
  wind. And when I saw that in my dream,
• 1:24:08
  all of a sudden I made a connection and in my dream and
• 1:24:13
  said, oh, the rapture. And I had never focused much on
• 1:24:18
  it. This was in my dream.
• 1:24:20
  God revealed things to me that were in the Bible in my dream.
• 1:24:23
  And and then after that I was like, I was, I put my arms up
• 1:24:29
  because I knew that we were going up at that point.
• 1:24:32
  And I started rising into the sky and I went into the, the sky
• 1:24:38
  to a high level. But there were, it was like
• 1:24:43
  pictures that you see from NASA with beautiful like colors and
• 1:24:48
  blue colors. And all I could say was like
• 1:24:50
  glistening things like it was, I don't know how to describe it
• 1:24:55
  other than it was just like absolutely like just awesome.
• 1:25:00
  I mean, it was so beautiful. And, and as I was rising up, I
• 1:25:04
  said, Oh my God, this is real. And and then I like corrected
• 1:25:10
  myself because I didn't want to use God's name in the wrong way.
• 1:25:13
  And I said, I mean, this is just awesome, you know, And I can't
• 1:25:15
  believe this is really real. This isn't my dream, me thinking
• 1:25:18
  this in my dream. And then as I was up, all of a
• 1:25:21
  sudden I remembered some books that I had delivered to my house
• 1:25:26
  in real life that day. They had, they were sitting on
• 1:25:30
  my kitchen table. And I had people in mind that I
• 1:25:33
  was going to give to them. And these books were called the
• 1:25:36
  Resurrection and you. And these were books that I
• 1:25:40
  needed to hand out. And I thought as I was
• 1:25:43
  ascending, I thought, I haven't given out those books.
• 1:25:46
  People need these books. And then I woke up.
• 1:25:49
  So immediately after that dream, I did give out those books, but
• 1:25:53
  that was the the first time. So when I, when I got to this
• 1:25:57
  point, talking about the, you know, groping around like blind,
• 1:26:00
  that's what I was doing. And then I had a second dream, I
• 1:26:03
  think it was about a week later and I was with some people and
• 1:26:08
  everything went black and people kind of got panicked.
• 1:26:10
  And I said, don't worry because I've seen this before.
• 1:26:13
  It's the rapture coming and that was all that.
• 1:26:17
  The dream was a very short and then my third dream, this was a
• 1:26:21
  little bit different because I heard it was like it took place
• 1:26:26
  in where I live exactly. Everything looked identical to
• 1:26:30
  the way it looks. I was getting coffee.
• 1:26:33
  It was the morning and it was light outside, but I was getting
• 1:26:37
  coffee and all of a sudden the emergency sirens went off and
• 1:26:43
  then everything went black and electricity went off and the sky
• 1:26:48
  outside went black like everything went black.
• 1:26:51
  And I was like, oh, oh, I don't know what to do now.
• 1:26:55
  And I thought if I try and walk anywhere, I didn't have my phone
• 1:26:59
  with me and I so I couldn't turn that on for light.
• 1:27:03
  And so I thought I'll just lay on the floor.
• 1:27:06
  And when I did, there was a pulling on my chest, my
• 1:27:12
  shoulders and my chest and everything that started to pull
• 1:27:15
  me up. And I actually saw myself rising
• 1:27:18
  up in my own kitchen. And after that dream, I mean, it
• 1:27:24
  was, you know, it did, everything went black.
• 1:27:26
  And then there was the the rise. So three times I've had a dream
• 1:27:31
  that that third dream was probably about nine months after
• 1:27:34
  the other dreams. And each time though, the
• 1:27:38
  consistency of the dream was everything went black 1st.
• 1:27:42
  And so I'm almost seeing this as another confirmation in
• 1:27:46
  Zephaniah 117. I will bring such distress on
• 1:27:50
  all the people that they will grope about like those who are
• 1:27:53
  blind because they have sinned against me.
• 1:27:56
  Like when Jesus returns, there is going to be, you know, it
• 1:28:03
  does say, he does say like he's going to take some, some are
• 1:28:06
  going to go through the the wrath.
• 1:28:10
  But those who have prepared themselves, I believe, will be
• 1:28:13
  drawn to him in the clouds. And I wasn't focused on this
• 1:28:18
  whole rapture thing. I was never taught that growing
• 1:28:21
  up. It was all new to me when I read
• 1:28:23
  the Bible and, and I didn't have this, this first dream until
• 1:28:29
  2022. I had read the Bible for the
• 1:28:32
  first time in 2019. So there were many years that
• 1:28:36
  had that were in between this time frame.
• 1:28:40
  And again, I don't, I don't know why I had those dreams, but I'm
• 1:28:44
  just sharing with them because I do believe that what the Bible
• 1:28:47
  says is true. And I, I do believe that God was
• 1:28:53
  showing me these things so that I would look in the Bible and I
• 1:28:56
  would find them in the Bible. And, and, and my faith grew as a
• 1:29:03
  result of it as I was like seeing these things, like
• 1:29:08
  there's way more to them. And I don't want to get too, too
• 1:29:11
  off track here, but let's move on.
• 1:29:15
  So this kind of relates to what God also said through Isaiah,
• 1:29:21
  Ezekiel, Joel, and then I think it was repeated in the book of
• 1:29:25
  Acts in Isaiah 44 verse three. It says, for I will pour water
• 1:29:31
  on the thirsty land and streams on the dry ground.
• 1:29:35
  I will pour out my spirit on your offspring and my blessing
• 1:29:40
  on your descendants. Now this is talking about Israel
• 1:29:45
  the chosen and about what God is going to do to Israel or for
• 1:29:55
  Israel the Holy Spirit. And it says this.
• 1:29:59
  This was the last verse I think from Ezekiel 39, verse 29.
• 1:30:04
  I will no longer hide my face from them talking about Israel,
• 1:30:08
  for I will pour out my spirit on the people of Israel, declares
• 1:30:12
  the sovereign Lord in Joel it talks about.
• 1:30:16
  And afterward I will pour out my spirit on all people.
• 1:30:21
  Your sons and daughters will prophecy, your old men will
• 1:30:26
  dream dreams, your young men will see visions.
• 1:30:30
  And there it says, even on my servants, both men and women, I
• 1:30:36
  will pour out my spirit in those days.
• 1:30:39
  I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood
• 1:30:43
  and fire and billows of smoke. Now listen to this.
• 1:30:47
  The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood
• 1:30:51
  before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
• 1:30:56
  And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
• 1:31:02
  For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be
• 1:31:06
  deliverance, as the Lord has said, even among the survivors
• 1:31:12
  whom the Lord calls. So again, there's going to, you
• 1:31:17
  know, there's going to be people who are going to go through some
• 1:31:21
  of this, some of this. I mean, obviously it says, well,
• 1:31:25
  in Matthew 25, it says immediately after the distress
• 1:31:29
  of those days, the sun will be turned dark.
• 1:31:32
  So it just, it seems to me when I put these pieces together that
• 1:31:39
  the, when the angels are are removed from heaven and thrown
• 1:31:43
  down to earth, there's 3 1/2 years.
• 1:31:46
  And it also seems like that is also when God does rescue some
• 1:31:50
  people. But I do think that, you know,
• 1:31:54
  God always spares A remnant and, you know, I don't know.
• 1:31:59
  I mean, it's, it's God's choice of who he does and what he does.
• 1:32:02
  But he does promise, like he says here, even among the
• 1:32:06
  survivors whom the Lord calls. So when there is all this like
• 1:32:11
  terrible stuff, this wrath that's going on, there will be
• 1:32:14
  survivors during the wrath. Not all people will be killed
• 1:32:19
  and people will probably be coming to faith during that
• 1:32:23
  time. And and so it says all who call
• 1:32:27
  on the name of the Lord will be saved.
• 1:32:30
  And I think that's something that everybody should, you know,
• 1:32:35
  commit to your mind if you are ever in a state of disaster, of
• 1:32:40
  disaster is coming around. Don't be calling or relying upon
• 1:32:45
  any kind of man or woman. Call on the Lord, say Lord save
• 1:32:51
  me, please save me. And God will have mercy on
• 1:32:54
  those. He has mercy.
• 1:32:56
  And we don't know who those will be, but God is a loving God.
• 1:33:00
  And if you believe, then God may rescue you.
• 1:33:06
  And if you resist in turning to God before the wrath day comes,
• 1:33:10
  you're probably going to experience some punishment.
• 1:33:14
  And it's, it's actually, you know, you're getting what you
• 1:33:17
  know, it's like we, we reap what we sow.
• 1:33:20
  So we're either going to prepare in advance.
• 1:33:23
  And I don't think God's going to bring that great punishment
• 1:33:26
  among the people who have prepared in advance.
• 1:33:29
  But there are people who are resistant to God, resisting his
• 1:33:32
  Holy Spirit and not letting the Holy Spirit guide because they
• 1:33:37
  want to do what they want to do. They don't want to submit to
• 1:33:39
  God. And, and I know I was like that
• 1:33:43
  too. There were things I didn't want
• 1:33:44
  to remove from my life when I learned about how I was living
• 1:33:52
  as a hypocrite and, and it took me a bit to commit to the Lord.
• 1:33:59
  And and so I know that that does take time.
• 1:34:02
  And I guess what I'm saying to people right now is get on it
• 1:34:06
  right now, like get right with God now, because hopefully you
• 1:34:10
  will be spared from having to go through the severity that's
• 1:34:16
  going to come on the earth. And hopefully you will be that
• 1:34:21
  God will see your react, your response to what he's done for
• 1:34:27
  us, that he will bring you out, bring you through whatever he
• 1:34:34
  will do that no matter if we have to go through these things.
• 1:34:39
  In fact, some people that not some people, it says that people
• 1:34:43
  who are beheaded will actually reign with Christ.
• 1:34:47
  So it's, you know, it's kind of ironic somebody'd head gets
• 1:34:51
  removed and then Jesus makes them the head of something, you
• 1:34:54
  know, like that's just like how good God is.
• 1:34:57
  He is going to make them a ruler in the millennial reign at least
• 1:35:03
  and maybe for eternity, but he is going to make them a ruler
• 1:35:07
  over certain lands. So it's like the lowly will
• 1:35:11
  become high and high of power. The ones who submit to God are
• 1:35:16
  going to be given given responsibilities when they've
• 1:35:21
  been proven trustworthy with God.
• 1:35:23
  When God sees their actions and knows their heart and knows
• 1:35:27
  their an intent and these people that have sacrificed their
• 1:35:31
  lives, it says, you know there's no greater love than to lay
• 1:35:34
  one's life down for another. Well, that's what Jesus did for
• 1:35:37
  all of us. But then think about this.
• 1:35:40
  People in response to that are willing to lay down their own
• 1:35:44
  lives and not deny Jesus and Jesus has a great reward for
• 1:35:50
  those people. Those people will be fully made
• 1:35:54
  whole, their bodies will be perfected.
• 1:35:57
  They will be reigning with Christ in the Millennium.
• 1:36:03
  So God has a a promise of of greatness for those who suffer.
• 1:36:09
  Great. OK, then in Isaiah, this is
• 1:36:15
  Isaiah 63, when I talk about Basra and Jesus's return in
• 1:36:23
  Isaiah 63, verse 3 or verse 2, it says why are your garments
• 1:36:29
  red like those of 1 treading the winepress?
• 1:36:33
  Well, Jesus is going to be treading the winepress.
• 1:36:36
  We see in the Book of Revelation that this is like a bloodbath
• 1:36:40
  that occurs where he takes, you know, yeah, the great kings and
• 1:36:45
  all these great people on earth and, yeah, does justice.
• 1:36:51
  So here's what it says, verse 3 from Isaiah 63.
• 1:36:55
  I have trodden the winepress alone from the nation's.
• 1:36:59
  No one was with me. I trampled them in my anger and
• 1:37:05
  trod them down in my wrath. Their blood spattered my
• 1:37:11
  garments, and I stained all my clothing.
• 1:37:15
  It was for me the day of vengeance.
• 1:37:19
  The year for me to redeem had come.
• 1:37:24
  I looked, but there was no one to help.
• 1:37:27
  I was appalled that no one gave support.
• 1:37:31
  So my own arm achieved salvation for me, and my own wrath
• 1:37:37
  sustained me. I trampled the nations in my
• 1:37:41
  anger. In my wrath.
• 1:37:43
  I made them drunk and poured their blood on the ground then.
• 1:37:52
  So there's. I guess I should continue
• 1:37:58
  reading that chapter because it it gets more promising.
• 1:38:04
  That is such a horrible thing to think about in the future, but
• 1:38:09
  that is something that will happen in the future.
• 1:38:13
  So this next section from Isaiah 63 starting at verse 7, it's
• 1:38:17
  about praise and prayer. So I want to read that just
• 1:38:21
  because this is so awful to think about and and God doesn't
• 1:38:25
  leave things awful like that. He promises restoration for
• 1:38:30
  those who will submit to him, for those who do love him back.
• 1:38:34
  You know, he says if if you love me, obey my commands.
• 1:38:38
  We're not obeying his commands in order to earn anything.
• 1:38:42
  We are obeying his commands out of choice because we want to
• 1:38:47
  show him that we love him. That's why we are obedient.
• 1:38:51
  So here's Isaiah 63, verse seven.
• 1:38:54
  I will tell of the kindness of the Lord, the deeds for which he
• 1:38:57
  is to be praised according to all the Lord has done for us.
• 1:39:02
  Yes, the many good things he has done for Israel according to his
• 1:39:06
  compassion and many kindnesses. He said, surely they are my
• 1:39:10
  people, children who will be true to me.
• 1:39:14
  And so he became their savior. This is Jesus becoming the
• 1:39:18
  Savior of Israel. In all their distress, He too
• 1:39:23
  was distressed, and the Angel of His presence saved them.
• 1:39:29
  In his love and mercy He redeemed them.
• 1:39:33
  He lifted them up and carried them all the days of old, yet
• 1:39:38
  they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit.
• 1:39:44
  So we don't want to grieve the Holy Spirit, We don't want to
• 1:39:47
  rebel against the Holy Spirit. We want to be guided by the Holy
• 1:39:50
  Spirit. Don't resist the Holy Spirit.
• 1:39:54
  Follow through. If you know what God wants, do
• 1:39:56
  it. OK, Continuing.
• 1:39:59
  So He turned and became their enemy, and He Himself fought
• 1:40:04
  against them. We don't want God on our as an
• 1:40:07
  enemy. He's the Creator.
• 1:40:09
  He can do anything. He can do the impossible.
• 1:40:12
  So think about somebody with all the power coming against me.
• 1:40:18
  I don't want that. Then his people recalled the
• 1:40:22
  days of old, the days of Moses and his people.
• 1:40:25
  Where, where is he who brought them through the sea with the
• 1:40:30
  shepherd of his flock? Where is he who set his Holy
• 1:40:34
  Spirit among them? People, you know, always say
• 1:40:37
  like, oh, the New Testament is when the Holy Spirit came.
• 1:40:39
  I don't, I disagree. I think the Holy Spirit was
• 1:40:42
  present back in the Old Testament too, verse 12, who set
• 1:40:49
  his glorious arm of power to be at Moses right hand, who divided
• 1:40:54
  the waters before them to gain for himself renown, everlasting
• 1:40:59
  renown. So God does a lot of this to
• 1:41:02
  protect his name so that other nations will know that he is
• 1:41:06
  good. And he's often spared Israel
• 1:41:10
  because he didn't want nations to think, oh, you know, God is
• 1:41:14
  not good because look what he did to his people.
• 1:41:16
  But he also does allow Israel to get to have trouble because of
• 1:41:26
  their resistance to him as kind of like disciplining a child.
• 1:41:31
  It's for their own benefit. And if they would just not
• 1:41:35
  resist him, things would go well.
• 1:41:37
  In fact, that's what what it says.
• 1:41:39
  I think in Deuteronomy, Moses told them that in the beginning,
• 1:41:42
  if you, you know, adhere to these laws that he gave, all
• 1:41:46
  will go well with you. And that's what I want for you.
• 1:41:50
  The laws were guardrails that were given to the people of
• 1:41:53
  Israel. But a lot of us Israel, just
• 1:41:56
  like a lot of us, don't want any kind of, you know, guidance like
• 1:42:01
  that. And it takes us to humble
• 1:42:03
  ourselves and to submit ourselves to God, to be willing
• 1:42:06
  to accept His laws. Verse 13 Who led them through
• 1:42:12
  the depths like a horse in an open country.
• 1:42:14
  They did not stumble like cattle that go down to the plain.
• 1:42:17
  They were given rest by the Spirit of the Lord.
• 1:42:20
  This is how you guided your people to make yourself for
• 1:42:25
  yourself a glorious name. Look down from heaven and sea,
• 1:42:28
  from your lofty throne, holy and glorious.
• 1:42:31
  Where are your zeal and your might?
• 1:42:34
  Your tenderness and compassion are withheld from us, but you
• 1:42:38
  are our Father. Though Abraham does not know us
• 1:42:42
  or Israel, acknowledge us. You, Lord, are our Father, our
• 1:42:48
  Redeemer from of old is your name.
• 1:42:53
  Isn't that interesting? But you are our Father through
• 1:42:58
  though Abraham does not know us or Israel acknowledge us.
• 1:43:02
  You, Lord, are our Father, our Redeemer from the old is your
• 1:43:06
  name. Why, Lord, do you make us wander
• 1:43:10
  from your ways and harden our hearts so that we do not Revere
• 1:43:13
  you? Return for the sake of your
• 1:43:15
  servants, the tribes that are your inheritance.
• 1:43:19
  For a little while your people possessed your holy place, but
• 1:43:22
  now our enemies have trampled down your sanctuary.
• 1:43:27
  I want to pause there because in the Book of Revelation it says
• 1:43:31
  don't measure the outer courtyards because that has been
• 1:43:34
  turned over to the Gentiles for 42 months, 3 1/2 years, which
• 1:43:40
  aligns with if the fallen angels come down and they kind of have
• 1:43:44
  rule, they have a temporary time frame of 3 1/2 years where they
• 1:43:49
  can do all this stuff. It just seems to line up in a
• 1:43:52
  lot of different aspects of scripture.
• 1:43:55
  Verse 19, we are yours from of old, but you have not ruled over
• 1:44:00
  them. They have not been called by
• 1:44:03
  your name. So it also in Isaiah 42 seven, I
• 1:44:14
  believe this is about Jesus, you know, to open eyes that are
• 1:44:17
  blind to free captives from prison and to release from the
• 1:44:23
  dungeon those who sit in darkness.
• 1:44:27
  Isaiah 49 nine, it says to say to the captives come out and to
• 1:44:32
  those in darkness be free. They will feed beside the roads
• 1:44:37
  and find pasture on every barren hill.
• 1:44:41
  So this is, I mean, maybe we should read this the servant of
• 1:44:46
  the Lord because it's more of a positive begin it and it's the
• 1:44:51
  song of praise to the Lord. It talks about, you know, you
• 1:44:58
  can, I guess you can read it. I probably have gone very long.
• 1:45:01
  Oh, I have gone really long with this chapter.
• 1:45:04
  So I don't think if you want to read Isaiah 42, chapter 42 and
• 1:45:08
  just read about that, it you can gain more insight.
• 1:45:13
  And also chapter 49, I'm going to read about chapter 49, verses
• 1:45:21
  8 through the end. So we can end on something that
• 1:45:24
  is a little bit more positive. This is the restoration of
• 1:45:28
  Israel, Isaiah 49, verse 8. This is what the Lord says, in
• 1:45:33
  the time of my favor I will answer you, and in the day of
• 1:45:39
  salvation I will help you. I will keep you and will make
• 1:45:44
  you to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land and
• 1:45:49
  to reassign its desolate inheritance.
• 1:45:54
  To say to the captives, come out and to those in darkness be
• 1:45:59
  free. They will be.
• 1:46:01
  They will feed beside the roads and find pasture on every barren
• 1:46:05
  hill. They will neither hunger nor
• 1:46:08
  thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun be down on them.
• 1:46:12
  He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them
• 1:46:18
  beside springs of water. That's the Good Shepherd, that's
• 1:46:22
  Jesus. He leads me besides the waters,
• 1:46:26
  the calm waters are something to that effect.
• 1:46:28
  I think David said that and and it's about Jesus.
• 1:46:33
  Verse 11, I will turn all my mountains into roads and my
• 1:46:37
  highways will be raised up. See, they will come from afar,
• 1:46:41
  some from the north, some from the West, some from the region
• 1:46:45
  of Aswan. Shout for joy, you heavens,
• 1:46:49
  rejoice, you earth burst into song, you mountains.
• 1:46:53
  For the Lord comforts his people, and will have compassion
• 1:46:58
  on his afflicted ones. But Zion said, the Lord has
• 1:47:02
  forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me.
• 1:47:05
  Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no
• 1:47:08
  compassion on the child she has born?
• 1:47:11
  Though she may forget? I will not forget you.
• 1:47:15
  This is just showing like God loves us, like children.
• 1:47:17
  And this is specifically talking to Israel.
• 1:47:20
  See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.
• 1:47:25
  Your walls are ever before me. Your children hasten back, and
• 1:47:29
  those who laid waste depart from you.
• 1:47:33
  Lift your eyes and look around. All your children gather and
• 1:47:37
  come to you as surely as I live, declares the Lord.
• 1:47:42
  You will wear them all as ornaments.
• 1:47:44
  You will put them on like a bride.
• 1:47:47
  Now this is where I think is the true restoration of Israel, the
• 1:47:51
  true gathering of all the people of Israel from everywhere.
• 1:47:55
  When Jesus begins to reign, he will bring all Israel back and,
• 1:48:01
  and then there's going to be a surprise about all these people.
• 1:48:04
  And he says you will put them on like a bride.
• 1:48:07
  Remember Jerusalem is considered the bride of Christ and as well
• 1:48:12
  as you know people who are believers are considered part of
• 1:48:18
  this. You know the the bridegroom and
• 1:48:21
  the bride. So though you verse 19, though
• 1:48:25
  you were ruined and made desolate and your land laid
• 1:48:29
  waste, now you will be too small for your people and those who
• 1:48:34
  devoured you will be far away. The children born during your
• 1:48:39
  bereavement will yet say in your hearing, this place is too small
• 1:48:45
  for us, give us more space to live in.
• 1:48:48
  I think that this actually refers to, you know, Gentiles
• 1:48:53
  and non Jewish people who came to Christ during the time that
• 1:48:57
  Israel's hearts were hardened and they weren't turning towards
• 1:49:01
  God. I think that's the children that
• 1:49:05
  God is giving to you know, talking about to Isaiah is all
• 1:49:09
  these other people who are who become Israel because as Paul
• 1:49:13
  says in his letters that we are grafted in to Israel.
• 1:49:20
  We become a branch that has been grafted in.
• 1:49:23
  We become a part of Israel. Those who are the Lords become a
• 1:49:29
  part of Israel. Verse 21.
• 1:49:32
  Then you will say in your heart, who bore me these?
• 1:49:36
  I was bereaved and barren. I was exiled and exiled and
• 1:49:40
  rejected. Who brought these up?
• 1:49:42
  I was left all alone. But these, where have they come
• 1:49:45
  from? So this reminds me also of the
• 1:49:48
  Book of Revelation where he sees all these people in white robes
• 1:49:52
  and he's like, who are all these people?
• 1:49:54
  And they say in, you know, the vision that John has, it says
• 1:49:58
  these are those who came out of the tribulation.
• 1:50:01
  They made their garments clean, so they surrendered.
• 1:50:05
  They chose to be guided by the Holy Spirit, chose to accept the
• 1:50:09
  Lord, and even though they came out of the Tribulation, they
• 1:50:14
  were in the presence of the Lord.
• 1:50:16
  And when Israel sees all these extra people, all these
• 1:50:20
  Gentiles, they're like, who are these children?
• 1:50:22
  These are not my fellow Israelites.
• 1:50:24
  That's what I think is being said here.
• 1:50:27
  That's my interpretation, but it seems to make sense.
• 1:50:31
  Verse 22. This is what the sovereign Lord
• 1:50:32
  says. See, I will beckon to the
• 1:50:35
  nation's. I will lift up my banner to the
• 1:50:38
  peoples. They will bring your sons in
• 1:50:41
  their arms and carry your daughters on their hips.
• 1:50:44
  Kings will be your foster fathers and their Queens your
• 1:50:49
  nursing mothers. They will bow down before you
• 1:50:54
  with their faces to the ground. They will lick the dust at your
• 1:50:58
  feet. Then you will know that I am the
• 1:51:01
  Lord. Those who hope in me will not be
• 1:51:03
  disappointed. So here again, remember how
• 1:51:06
  Jesus always turns things upside down.
• 1:51:09
  Kings will be your foster fathers and their Queens, your
• 1:51:14
  nursing mothers, but they are bowing down before the people of
• 1:51:19
  Israel. So there's like, you know,
• 1:51:23
  Israel, if you look at history, they've been the hated ones, but
• 1:51:26
  they were the chosen ones by God.
• 1:51:29
  And God's going to take the great people and these great
• 1:51:33
  people are going to be serving Israel and bowing down.
• 1:51:37
  That's like almost like the dream that Joseph had where his
• 1:51:41
  family members, the stars were bowing down to him.
• 1:51:45
  And and again, those are the tribes of Israel and the the 12
• 1:51:51
  stars that are mentioned in the Book of Revelation being the the
• 1:51:55
  12 tribes of Israel. So you know, God is in the
• 1:51:59
  process of restoring and he shuffles around positions what
• 1:52:02
  we think are great in the world, our greatness and power and
• 1:52:06
  thing. He humbles the proud and Jesus
• 1:52:10
  himself came as a servant to mankind.
• 1:52:14
  I mean the the greatest of all, the Lord the Creator is coming,
• 1:52:20
  came to earth and made himself like a servant so that we could
• 1:52:25
  be in God's Kingdom. He took the lowly position, He
• 1:52:30
  washed his disciples feet and he is an example of how we will be
• 1:52:38
  to others. So I'm not Jewish, as far as I
• 1:52:41
  know at least. And so somehow, you know, I'm,
• 1:52:45
  I'm going to be perhaps one of these people bowing down before
• 1:52:48
  them, like serving people of Israel.
• 1:52:51
  I mean, and that's something that's going to be hard for
• 1:52:53
  people who are, you know, today just saying about how terrible
• 1:52:57
  Israel is and they have this hatred and this anti-Semitism.
• 1:53:01
  But read the Bible, see what it says.
• 1:53:04
  We who are not Jewish are going to be serving the Jewish people,
• 1:53:08
  but God is going to put His Spirit in them.
• 1:53:10
  And when his Spirit, when they become one, like Jesus is one
• 1:53:14
  with the Father and he prayed before he died, that let them be
• 1:53:18
  one with us as we are one. So when that happens, there's
• 1:53:23
  not going to be this evilness. We're not going to be bowing
• 1:53:25
  down to evil. These are going to be restored
• 1:53:28
  people, God's chosen ones who are going to be 1 in his spirit.
• 1:53:35
  He's pouring out his spirit on all people.
• 1:53:37
  All of us will be like of the same of the same belief.
• 1:53:43
  We're all going to be unified in the Holy Spirit.
• 1:53:46
  We all become a member of the tree.
• 1:53:50
  The Israel is the tree. We are branches that are grafted
• 1:53:53
  in and as Paul says, don't you something to the effect of the
• 1:54:01
  original branches were broken off, meaning Israel, so that we
• 1:54:05
  Gentiles, non Jewish people were grafted in.
• 1:54:09
  But God is so merciful that he's going to graft back in the
• 1:54:12
  original branches that were broken off.
• 1:54:15
  So God has this ultimate restoration for all of us.
• 1:54:20
  Now verse 24 says, can plunder be taken from warriors or
• 1:54:23
  captives be rescued from the fierce?
• 1:54:25
  But this is what the Lord says. Yes, captives will be taken from
• 1:54:29
  warriors and plunder retrieved from the fierce.
• 1:54:33
  I will contend with those who contend with you and your
• 1:54:38
  children I will save. I will make your oppressors eat
• 1:54:43
  their own flesh. They will be drunk on their
• 1:54:45
  blood as with wine. Then all mankind will know that
• 1:54:50
  I the Lord am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of
• 1:54:57
  Jacob. God is the God, the Savior of
• 1:55:01
  Israel. So don't fall into the
• 1:55:06
  propaganda that is against Israel because the Bible does
• 1:55:12
  say I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse
• 1:55:16
  you. Yes, Israel, it has people that
• 1:55:19
  do bad things, just like we all have done bad things.
• 1:55:26
  So we are not in the position of judgment.
• 1:55:29
  I, I think it's actually Moses is going to judge the
• 1:55:31
  Israelites. We who are believers will
• 1:55:36
  actually judge angels. That's in the Bible too.
• 1:55:39
  There's so much really interesting things that are in
• 1:55:42
  the Bible and a lot of really cool things that we can look
• 1:55:47
  forward to. But there is this transition
• 1:55:50
  where there's going to be a lot of awfulness before it gets to
• 1:55:52
  the really cool part. But just get right with God,
• 1:55:57
  love God, obey him, ask Him for the Holy Spirit to help with
• 1:56:02
  that, to soften our hearts, to turn our hearts towards him,
• 1:56:07
  because we are captives of the enemy until we invite the Holy
• 1:56:12
  Spirit in. So if this was good information
• 1:56:16
  for you and if you think anyone else will benefit from this,
• 1:56:19
  please share this with somebody else.
• 1:56:21
  And if you want to stay in the word and explore God's Word,
• 1:56:26
  please subscribe. Some of these that have a lot of
• 1:56:29
  information and a lot of insight that I get from various places
• 1:56:34
  are longer, but I don't intend for every podcast to be almost
• 1:56:38
  two hours long like this one. But hopefully this was
• 1:56:42
  beneficial for you. And I hope that one day we are
• 1:56:46
  all in God's Kingdom together and we can look back and say,
• 1:56:51
  praise be the Lord. Thank you, Lord, for doing this
• 1:56:53
  for us.
