  SPEAKER_00: Hello, this is Ken, your podcast preacher.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to my podcast Equators.
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_00: This podcast is brought to you by Applied Strengths Ministry, where we believe working together on our strengths is the effect of working out the will and calling of God and into our lives.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_00: Thanks for joining me.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_00: Let's open up in prayer.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: Blessed be the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed you with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_00: Just as he chose you and him before the foundation of the world.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: That you should be holy and without blame before him in love, having predestined you to adoption as a son or daughter by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, which he purposed in himself, to the praise of the glory of his grace by which he made you accepted in the beloved.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: In him ye have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace, which he made to abound towards you in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to you the mystery of his will, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth in him.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: I ask that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of the mystery of him.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_00: Ah, yes, and to the deepest knowledge of him that you are willing and able to receive, that the eyes of your understanding would be open wider, and that you would be enlightened to who he is, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in you, and what is the exceeding greatness of his power towards you who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, which he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him in his right hand in the heavenly places, that he would grant that you would be strengthened with might through his spirit in the inner man, and into your spirit and heart, and that you would be able to stand against your flesh, this world, and the devil in through any and all temptations.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: I pray that your love may abound more and more in all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense until the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ of the glory and praise of God.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: I ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will, and all wisdom and spiritual understanding, that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing him, being fruitful in every good work, strengthen with all might according to his glorious power, in all patience and long-suffering with joy.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified you to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints who walk in the light.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: I pray that your hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love and unity, and that you would attain to all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, both of the Father and of Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which has been given to each of my listeners by Christ Jesus, that you are enriched in everything by Him, in all utterance and all knowledge, so that you do not come short in obtaining or operating in your calling and purpose, nor in using any spiritual gifts or talents, eagerly waiting for the continued revelation of our Lord Jesus, who will confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the near coming of the day of our Lord.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: God is faithful by whom you are called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so now therefore, my sisters and brothers in Christ, when things get tough, think about whatever things are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, and whatever things are of a good report.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: If there is any virtue, or if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things alone.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: I pray that in these very days you would let your love be without hypocrisy, hate and loathe what is evil, cling to what is good and righteous, be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another, not lagging in diligence, fervent and fully engulfed in spiritual fire, serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, walking in the peace of God, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfast in prayer, distributing to the needs of the saints, that is each other, and that you would be given to hospitality.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: May the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like minded towards one another, according to Christ Jesus, that we learn to be of one mind, in one accord, operating completely and fully in love and unity, always striving for the working out of God's specific will for each of our lives, while working in partnership with each other within the church and the Holy Spirit, as he manifests his miracles, signs and wonders through the daily activities of our ministry and kingdom work.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: And while we also go out preaching the gospel in word and deed, let us love and serve one another, our enemy, and those who wouldn't expect us to do so, considering each person better than ourselves.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: Bind up any words or thoughts that are contrary to the love of God, or which would set you back in your Christian walk.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: Ah, step out in faith today and walk with God, being assured that nothing will separate you from him, as long as you abide in him.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: Call those things that don't exist as though they do.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: Remember he that is in you is greater than he that is in the world.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: Be more than a conqueror today, submitting to the will of God in everything.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_00: Let each of us express uncompromising love towards one another in humility, while maintaining a teachable spirit.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_00: I pray that God will give you the revelation within this message that He intends you to receive with the understanding.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses a fragrance of His knowledge in every place.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: In Jesus' name we pray amen.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_00: The title of this message is four things, nay five that should in these revelatory days no longer be misunderstood in the church body today.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: Part one of two.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: So I thought just maybe we could clean up on some things or topics that should in these days be non issues within the body of Christ.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: Are they salvation issues?
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not sure, as I think the lack of some of these things could lead a person to fall away at a minimum, which could then make it a salvation issue.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_00: And but is that really the position we want to take when it comes to learning and understanding the Bible and the Lord of the Bible?
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: For me personally, no.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: I want to know everything that I can about God and learn how to receive everything He intended me to receive so that I can be the most effective Christian He intended me to be.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: The Bible says we can do nothing without Christ.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: Therefore, we need all the attributes of Christ to be effective at all.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's simple math really.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: If you are a Christian who admittedly seeks to do the works of Jesus and greater works in faith, then this message will encourage you and help you in any area that you might need more understanding in.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: But if you are a Christian who clutches your salvation ticket in your hands, hoping that Jesus simply returns before you die, having no intention of doing anything for him, then you are at risk.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: For what?
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: For these end time deceptions which are being prepared right now before our eyes.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: But even worse, what crown will you be casting at the feet of Jesus?
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_00: Revelation four ten to eleven?
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: What works will you have that will endure his judgment?
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: Corinthians three, twelve through fifteen.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one's work will become clear, for the day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test each one's work of what sort it is.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_00: If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_00: If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_00: You see where this is going?
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_00: You were doing things before your salvation, and but after your salvation, as you grow and mature, you do the kingdom things that make an eternal difference.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: You no longer waste your time in fetching any and all of the world's goods anymore.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_00: fifteen through seventeen.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_00: Do not love the world or the things in the world.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_00: If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_00: For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is not of the Father, but is of the world, and the world is passing away, and the lust of it, but he who does the will of God abides forever.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: James four four adulterers and adulteresses Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God?
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_00: Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: Additionally, Matthew six twenty four teaches that no one can serve two masters.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: You cannot fully devote yourself to God while simultaneously loving material wealth, that is money and possessions.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: And Second Timothy three four warns of the last days when people will become lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, and we are, as you know, in the last days.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_00: These days won't be creeping upon us, as they are already upon us.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: It is important to understand that in your salvation you have been set apart for the works of God, and that you were not of this world just as Jesus himself wasn't a part of this world.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_00: It is this world and its lust thereof that we have been set free from John eight thirty one through thirty six, Romans eight, one through verse two, Galatians five one, Romans six twenty two, and second Corinthians three seventeen.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: Listen, you have been prepared for good works.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_00: Ephesians two hundred ten emphasizes that believers are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, specifically for good works that God prepared beforehand, and Second Timothy two twenty one notes that those who cleanse themselves from dishonor will be set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_00: You have been prepared for service and ministry.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_00: Romans one.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: The apostle Paul introduces himself as called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_00: Us too, right?
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: Galatians one fifteen.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_00: Paul reflects on how God set him apart from his mother's womb to reveal his son and preach the gospel.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_00: Also, us too.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_00: Jeremiah one five.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_00: God tells the prophet Jeremiah, before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born, I consecrated, that is, set you apart.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_00: Do you think this is also true for you?
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: Well yes.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: You have been prepared and called to live differently.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_00: Describes believers as a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, so that they may proclaim the excellencies of God.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_00: This is done through preaching a power loaded gospel and as a part of your testimony when you share it with others.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: Leviticus twenty twenty six God commands the Israelites, You shall be holy to me, for I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be mine.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_00: And here is your reality in these very end time days.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_00: During his final prayer, Jesus says of his followers, they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_00: Jesus tells Pontius Pilate, My kingdom is not of this world.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_00: If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, but my kingdom is not from the world.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_00: Jesus warns his disciples, If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own, but because you are not of the world, I chose you out of the world.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_00: Therefore the world hates you.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_00: Do we now see why Jesus gave us a following instruction?
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_00: Romans twelve two instructs believers to not be conformed to this world, but to be transformed by the renewal of their minds.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: And that happens when we read the Bible, right?
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: And if we take what Jesus tells us through the Holy Spirit seriously, then we avoid the following scripture from applying to our Christian lives.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_00: Do not love the world or the things in the world.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_00: If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so in this message, we will cover three of the five topics that we should pretty much be in agreement with based on the ever straight Bible narrative.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_00: Unity helps to bring the power of God into our situations.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_00: That's why I'm doing this message.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_00: Acts four thirty two, the defining verse where Luke writes Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul, nor did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_00: But they had all things in common.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_00: Philippians two, the apostle Paul urges the church to fulfill my joy by being like minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_00: Romans twelve sixteen, Paul instructs live in harmony with one another, do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_00: Do not be conceited.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_00: Paul pleased with believers to be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_00: In first Peter three eight states, the apostle Peter writes, Finally all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another, love as brothers, be tender hearted, be courteous.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: The apostle Paul taught about using spiritual gifts to function as one body in Corinthians chapter twelve, and he also taught us the importance of unity and how it is a responsibility of those called into the fivefold ministry to teach the body how to flow and grow in unity Ephesians four eleven through sixteen.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_00: And he, that is Jesus, gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints, for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but speaking truth and love may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by whatever joint supplies, according to the effect of working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_00: Peace and unity is a big deal in the church, and an expected character trait of the bride of Christ herself, and it is for this reason that we, in as much as possible, get along with all men, but especially each other.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_00: Romans twelve eighteen, if it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_00: Notice it states peaceably but not in unity with all men, as that would require compromising our doctrine and beliefs, but peaceably is possible.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_00: And while I know the Bible states not to dispute over doubtful things, look, Romans fourteen one, receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_00: The key word is doubtful things.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_00: Well so let's go deeper to really grasp what Paul was saying here in the original Greek which I'm not going to try to pronounce.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_00: It is translated literally to mean this now receive the one who was weak in the faith, not for the purpose of passing judgment on, or quarrelling over his opinions.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_00: This specific phrase, but not to dispute over doubtful things, centers on two Greek words.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_00: Plural of diacritis, the word means to discern, judge, discriminate, or evaluate.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_00: In this context, it refers to passing judgment or creating divisions.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_00: Dialogusmon, plural of dialogus, the word refers to thoughts, reasonings, opinions, doubts, or inner deliberations.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_00: What is meant in context?
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_00: Paul was addressing a church split into two distinct groups regarding a diaphora, matters of indifference, like eating meat or observing certain holy days.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_00: Keep in mind those subjects right there, because they help to define what we're talking about.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_00: The weak believers, mostly Jewish Christians, whose conscience hadn't fully grasped their new freedom in Christ, leading them to avoid meat entirely and stick to a strict, cautious diet.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_00: The strong believers, mostly Gentiles, who fully understand their liberty and were free from these old restrictions.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_00: Paul's original instruction was to welcome and accept the weaker believer into the community with open arms.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_00: However, this acceptance is not an invitation to debate, bully, or put the weaker believer on trial over their personal convictions and scruples.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_00: Instead of trying to fix or argue over secondary preferences, the church is commanded to maintain fellowship and leave the judging to God.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_00: And while we have other solid instructions to help us maintain peace and unity and even how to deal with disagreements that we might encounter within the body of Christ.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_00: The Bible most directly addresses not disputing over minor non essential issues in Romans fourteen one.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_00: In this verse, the apostle Paul instructs believers to accept the one whose faith is weak without quarreling over disputable matters, sometimes translated as disputes over doubtful things or disputable matters.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_00: Paul explains on this throughout the chapter, highlighting that Christians shouldn't judge one another over minor differences, like personal diet or observing specific holidays, as these are gray areas rather than essential tenets of faith.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_00: The Bible provides several similar warnings against pointless, petty arguments.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_00: Second Timothy two twenty three.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_00: Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_00: But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments, and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_00: Again, if we do engage in a discussion about what is gray or considered a foundational belief, we are also instructed on how to handle this, that we would maintain peace and unity within the Christian community.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_00: So where is this message going, Podcast Preacher?
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I thought it important to define those scriptures so that as we go over the five topics, which may tend to cause a bit of disagreements within the church.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_00: In fact, so much so that any one of these topics has no doubt split churches already, a tactic that I fully disagree with.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_00: Church division is in my opinion, unacceptable and is born out of spiritual pride, spiritual ignorance, and even rebellion, and it is most definitely a strategy of the devil.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_00: So you and I get to decide if these next five subjects are considered to fall within the meaning of those scriptures that I have already read.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_00: I don't believe they do as we have some specific references to things like diet and holidays and evil spiritual immaturity and how we handle our Christian children.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_00: In other words, these five topics should not be considered doubtful things.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_00: Aha, a switcheroo, yes, but not as we are trying to go from precept upon precept, line upon line, Isaiah twenty eight, ten and verse thirteen.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_00: Faith to faith, Romans one seventeen.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_00: And therefore, in doing so, we could learn from those even coming up to the same level of knowledge as them.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_00: Luke six forty, Matthew ten, twenty four through twenty five, and Luke five, thirty six through thirty nine.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_00: My position, and it doesn't have to be yours, is that these five topics, if understood from the Scripture and not from a specific denominational position, a creed, interpretation, or even how it might be defined in a concordance, is that these topics are fully supported in the Bible as major, not minor things, and but that they will not necessarily result in a loss of salvation, but by the absence of the revelation of what they are, it is impossible that we can achieve God's will and purpose in our lives.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_00: Again, maybe they don't cost us our salvation, but in completing God's will for our lives, we will be severely impacted.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_00: So then the risk of walking away from Christianity is much higher in the absence of the fullest possible understanding of these five topics, and so by choice of inflexibility or being unteachable, you can lose your way with God.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, I know that's a big statement, but Christianity and us preparing ourselves for the return of Christ is the only deal in town.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_00: Revelation nineteen seven through eight.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_00: Our unbridled human nature before salvation was so more than willing to lead us straight into hell without a second thought, and so when we invite on purpose or by a lack of discernment, any part of the flesh in these types of conversations, never forget the strength of the magnetism hell has on your fleshly parts.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_00: All of them.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_00: Well, so I got up at two AM and was musing about the things of God when this message dropped down into my spirit.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_00: I did for a fraction of a minute think, well, why?
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_00: As I've already done comprehensive messages on each of these topics, and so what more can I say?
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_00: Then I considered the days that we are in and the nearness to which we are to the return of Jesus, and thought better than to excuse the prompting.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_00: So if you want to go deeper on these subjects, you can find them within my Brother Sprout platform.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_00: You can also access them through my website applied strengthsministry dot org.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_00: Number one, the Holy Spirit necessary presence in your life.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_00: If anyone thinks that they can outproduce God without the Holy Spirit, or if you think you can compete with someone who does operate, rely, trust in, and depend on the Holy Spirit as it pertains to anything in life, and even but especially if you are a believer, then you have bumped your head on the cornerstone of stumbling, and if you are not careful to carefully examine your non Holy Spirit experience, comparing your ill gotten beliefs to the Word of God, then you stand in jeopardy of goading your way through heaven.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_00: And I think that would be a bad choice.
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_00: The podcast.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_00: Cast preacher, my religion is not performance based.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_00: I do not believe you can earn salvation Second Timothy two twenty, first Corinthians three, twelve through fifteen, Matthew twelve, thirty six through thirty seven, Romans fourteen twelve, John twelve forty eight, Second Corinthians five ten, Romans two, six, Matthew sixteen, twenty seven, Revelation twenty two, twelve, Psalms sixty two, twelve, Proverbs twenty four twelve, Jeremiah seventeen, ten, and chapter thirty two nineteen, and Revelation two twenty three.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_00: So boink on you for thinking that way.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_00: You just hit your head on the cornerstone again with such a statement.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_00: Why do we come up with excuses for walking in the flesh, thinking that we are supporting a spiritual position?
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_00: Look, my friends, the Pharisees did this and went to hell.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_00: So I thought I would just wake you up.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_00: Your fight is not against the sinful preacher who teaches scripturally supported lies.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_00: It is not against the false preachers, teachers, prophets, apostles, or Christ Matthew seven, fifteen and chapter twenty four eleven and verse twenty four Mark thirteen twenty two, Second Peter two, one through eighteen, Second Corinthians eleven five, and verse thirteen, Luke six twenty six and first John four one.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_00: Your fight is against the devil always, so don't think by defending your non holy spirit Christian existence is in any way protecting the sensitive flesh of any person Ephesians six ten through eighteen.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_00: You are defending the devil's position when you agree with such nonsense.
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_00: Did not the devil convince Eve that God's words, originally spoken to her from his own spirit, were incomplete and possibly full of deception?
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_00: You could say that if there was a Bible at the time that Satan used it to draw Eve and Adam into sin.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_00: And what to say of Satan trying to deceive Jesus by the use of scripture in the desert?
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_00: Did not Paul say that we are not unaware of the devil's schemes?
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_00: Second Corinthians two, eight through eleven.
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, that's a bang opener right there, and it's because active, authentically born again Christians need all hands on deck in today's battlefield and upon the harvest field, and more so because we are not as focused on praying for the harvest in which, in the correct circumstances, that is when we are doing church God's way, he is adding to the church daily in which those in which are being saved.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_00: We focus more on the deficit of today's church, which, as it was back in the days of Jesus, and so it is today.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_00: We pray for the laborers.
• 24:48
  SPEAKER_00: The following scriptures support the totality of what I just stated right there as well as the battle.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_00: Second Corinthians ten four, Ephesians six, ten through twenty, Second Timothy two, three through four, Matthew nine, thirty five through thirty eight, Acts two forty one and verse forty seven, chapter four, verse four, chapter five, verse fourteen, and chapter nine, verse thirty one, John six, forty four, and chapter fifteen, verse sixteen.
• 25:25
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going heavy on the scripture references so that you also see how the Holy Spirit is right in the mix of these things.
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_00: And so but for example, if you show up to a prayer meeting, which is unlikely without the Holy Spirit and decide you are going to move heaven and earth with your non Holy Spirit inspired prayers, you might just as well stay at home and watch the Emmys, because you would have to put on a performance to convince anyone that you are at the feet of Jesus without the aid for getting there, that is, without the Holy Spirit living inside of you.
• 25:55
  SPEAKER_00: It will be difficult for you to draw near to God and hear or understand anything He is saying James four eight, John five nineteen, and chapter eight verse twenty eight, and chapter twelve forty nine through fifty, and chapter fourteen verse ten.
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, let's see if we can encourage further growth in those who do have the Holy Spirit, and to convince those who don't that it can be the greatest mistake that they ever did make for all of eternity while living in time.
• 26:26
  SPEAKER_00: What a thing to think, right?
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_00: Making mistakes in the right now of which will have a price for all of eternity.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_00: Come with it now and stop playing religion.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_00: Pastor So or so or the professor at the seminary will not be standing next to you when you have to explain why you didn't believe the Word of God, written by men as inspired by the Holy Spirit.
• 26:48
  SPEAKER_00: Second Timothy three, sixteen through seventeen.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_00: There are no uninspired scriptures in the New King James Version of the Bible.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_00: I can only speak to my version as it is the only one that I read.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_00: No doubt there are other Bibles which have been tampered with by men who thought that they had more intelligence of those who actually had the intelligence and calling, I might add, to pull together the initial work and word of God.
• 27:14
  SPEAKER_00: Is there room to adjust for the language differences between Greek, Hebrew, and Latin?
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_00: As initially translated?
• 27:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, but what I am talking about is the addition or removal of scriptures, or the changing of the revelation within the book of Revelation.
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_00: Just choose carefully what translation you commit to.
• 27:33
  SPEAKER_00: The Holy Spirit is for today's body, so that we can reproduce the works of Jesus and even greater works than he did, which includes all manner of miracle signs and wonders.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_00: Most assuredly I say to you, he who believes in me, the works that I do he will do also, and greater works than these he will do, because I go to my Father, and whatever you ask in my name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
• 28:02
  SPEAKER_00: If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_00: If you love me, keep my commandments, and I will pray the Father, and he will give you another helper, that he may abide with you forever.
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_00: Not just while you're on the planet, but forever.
• 28:17
  SPEAKER_00: The Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him, but you know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.
• 28:27
  SPEAKER_00: I will not leave you orphans, I will come to you.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_00: A little while longer, and the world will see me no more, but you will see me, because I live, you will live also, and that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
• 28:44
  SPEAKER_00: He who has my commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves me, and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_00: That's something to pay attention to in these days.
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_00: Jesus says that he will manifest himself to us if we meet the criteria.
• 29:03
  SPEAKER_00: John fifteen seven, if you abide in me and my words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it should be done for you.
• 29:11
  SPEAKER_00: Now I thought we were getting the Holy Spirit, but here in John fourteen twenty and fifteen verse seven, it looks like we have the whole shebang, meaning that we too, like Jesus, have the Father, Jesus that is Christ, and the Holy Spirit living inside of us.
• 29:27
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, my next topic is the rapture.
• 29:29
  SPEAKER_00: The following is taken in part from my podcast message titled The Lassa Rapture, posted february fourth, twenty twenty six.
• 29:37
  SPEAKER_00: I have updated this message where necessary.
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_00: The rapture is a biblically supported truth.
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_00: The rapture is going to happen, which, once the church is removed from the world scene, will allow the Antichrist to begin his reign of terror, specifically during the seven year tribulation, in which the trumpet and bold judgments of God will be released upon the earth, that is the fourteen judgments of God.
• 29:59
  SPEAKER_00: I'll clarify the first seven, which are the seals in a minute.
• 30:03
  SPEAKER_00: The Bible states in first Thessalonians that God is not destined Christians for wrath.
• 30:09
  SPEAKER_00: The tribulation of God is the wrath of God, but for salvation through Jesus Christ.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_00: While Ephesians two three notes that people are by nature children of wrath before faith.
• 30:20
  SPEAKER_00: This first confirm cut this verse confirms that believers are appointed to receive salvation and escape God's judgment.
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_00: Key biblical points first Thessalonians for God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
• 30:37
  SPEAKER_00: Context of grace.
• 30:39
  SPEAKER_00: Christians are saved from the wrath they previously deserved by nature, having been made alive with Christ through grace.
• 30:46
  SPEAKER_00: Ephesians two three, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others, but God who is rich in mercy, because of his great love, with which he loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ.
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_00: By grace you have been saved.
• 31:14
  SPEAKER_00: Substitutionary atonement.
• 31:16
  SPEAKER_00: Christ took on the wrath of God on the cross, delivering believers from future judgment.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_00: Let me say that again.
• 31:23
  SPEAKER_00: Christ took on the wrath of God on the cross, delivering believers from future judgment, that is the tribulation.
• 31:31
  SPEAKER_00: Romans Much more than having now been justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_00: Again, that is through Jesus.
• 31:41
  SPEAKER_00: Contrast and state, before conversion, people are children of wrath, Ephesians two three, but through Christ they are adopted into God's family and no longer subject to that wrath.
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, I hear you.
• 31:55
  SPEAKER_00: Let's see what wrath means according to God and his Bible.
• 31:59
  SPEAKER_00: In the Bible, wrath is intense, righteous indignation, or retributive judgment.
• 32:05
  SPEAKER_00: It primarily refers to God's wrath, his perfect, holy, just, and inevitable response to sin, evil, and rebellion.
• 32:14
  SPEAKER_00: Conversely, human wrath, uncontrolled anger or desire for vengeance, is condemned as sinful.
• 32:21
  SPEAKER_00: The two dimensions of wrath, God's wrath, rooted in God's holiness and justice, because God is perfectly righteous, he must oppose and eventually punish sin.
• 32:31
  SPEAKER_00: It is not a capricious, hot tempered loss of control, but rather the necessary defense of his moral order eighteen.
• 32:40
  SPEAKER_00: It is often contrasted with his mercy, and scripture notes that he is slow to anger to allow for repentance.
• 32:47
  SPEAKER_00: Human wrath, characterized by ungodly anger, rage, and a desire for personal vengeance.
• 32:53
  SPEAKER_00: New Testament strictly warns against it Ephesians four, twenty six through verse twenty seven and Romans twelve nineteen, urging believers to leave vengeance to God and put away uncontrolled anger.
• 33:06
  SPEAKER_00: Keep the terms and concepts.
• 33:08
  SPEAKER_00: Both the Old and New Testament use several specific words to describe this intense displeasure.
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_00: Hebrew terms, the most common Old Testament word is afh, which literally translates to nostril or snorting, describing heavy breathing due to intense passion or anger.
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_00: Another frequent term is chema, which refers to heat or poison.
• 33:31
  SPEAKER_00: The Greek term in the New Testament, orge, often translated as anger or wrath, refers to a settled, deep seated indignation.
• 33:40
  SPEAKER_00: Another term is thumos, which denotes a burst of passion or a consuming fire.
• 33:47
  SPEAKER_00: Salvation from wrath.
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_00: A central theme of the Christian gospel is that humanity is subject to divine justice.
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_00: But Jesus Christ took the penalty of God's wrath upon himself through his death on the cross.
• 33:59
  SPEAKER_00: Through repentance and faith in Christ, believers are said to be spared from God's wrath, as highlighted in Romans five, nine.
• 34:07
  SPEAKER_00: And well since we are sinless before God, he has reassured us that through the blood of Jesus He remembers our sins no more.
• 34:14
  SPEAKER_00: Hebrews eight twelve for I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.
• 34:23
  SPEAKER_00: So the only way you could go through the tribulation is if God remembers your sins.
• 34:28
  SPEAKER_00: And if he does so, then you have to experience the wrath of God.
• 34:32
  SPEAKER_00: Hebrews ten seventeen.
• 34:34
  SPEAKER_00: Then he adds, their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_00: Jeremiah thirty one thirty four.
• 34:42
  SPEAKER_00: No more shall every man teach his neighbor and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord, for they all shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.
• 34:56
  SPEAKER_00: Isaiah forty three twenty five.
• 34:59
  SPEAKER_00: I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.
• 35:06
  SPEAKER_00: Isaiah thirty eight seventeen.
• 35:09
  SPEAKER_00: Indeed it was for my own peace that I had great bitterness, but you have lovingly delivered my soul from the pit of corruption, for you have cast all my sins behind your back.
• 35:20
  SPEAKER_00: Alrighty, alrighty, see that we have no triggers for God's wrath to abide in or on us Christians.
• 35:26
  SPEAKER_00: Let's get the rapture series going.
• 35:29
  SPEAKER_00: I have included the supporting scriptures for you to look up, as I do not expect you to take everything I say as the gospel truth.
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_00: Check me always regarding everything I say.
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_00: Your belief should be grounded in your own personal knowledge and relationship with God that you have received regarding the revelation that the Holy Spirit gives to you in your own personal reading time.
• 35:50
  SPEAKER_00: Rapture number one, Enoch, Genesis five, nine through twenty four, and Hebrews eleven five.
• 35:56
  SPEAKER_00: Rapture number two, Elijah, Second Kings two eleven.
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_00: Rapture number three, Jesus, Acts one, nine through eleven.
• 36:05
  SPEAKER_00: Now here are some new stories that were brought to my attention.
• 36:08
  SPEAKER_00: They are defined as rapture type events.
• 36:12
  SPEAKER_00: Rapture number four, Philip the Evangelist, Acts eight thirty nine.
• 36:16
  SPEAKER_00: In this scripture, note the words caught away, not caught up.
• 36:21
  SPEAKER_00: Rapture number five, Paul the Apostle, Second Corinthians twelve, two through four.
• 36:26
  SPEAKER_00: Rapture number six, John the Apostle of Love, Revelation four, one through two.
• 36:32
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, so back to normal raptures.
• 36:34
  SPEAKER_00: Rapture number seven, the Church, Thessalonians four seventeen, Revelation three, seven through ten, Matthew twenty four, forty through forty one, Luke seventeen, twenty four through thirty six, and First Corinthians fifteen fifty two.
• 36:54
  SPEAKER_00: You can read a book titled The Rapture, the Antichrist and the Tribulation, an End Times Countdown and What Happens Next, which first came out around september twenty twenty five, written by Rick Rayner.
• 37:07
  SPEAKER_00: Rapture number eight, one hundred and forty four thousand.
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_00: These are raptured about four years into the tribulation.
• 37:13
  SPEAKER_00: Revelation seven one through four and Revelation fourteen one through five.
• 37:20
  SPEAKER_00: The author Hilton Sutton, of whom is being referenced here from the book titled Rapture, Get Right or Get Left states that in verse five, it specifically states before the throne of God, which is where he gets this rapture as going to take place.
• 37:36
  SPEAKER_00: Rapture nine, the tribulation saints or the great multitude, Revelation seven, nine through seventeen.
• 37:44
  SPEAKER_00: For a more thorough explanation of this rapture, I would recommend getting Rapture, get right or get left, written by Hilton Sutton.
• 37:51
  SPEAKER_00: Rapture number ten, the two end time prophets, Revelation eleven, seven through twelve.
• 37:57
  SPEAKER_00: In addition to this mountain of evidence, we also have some who believe that the rapture is also portrayed in the story of Noah the Ark, Lot being delivered from God's judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah, and throughout the Galatian traditional wedding ceremony.
• 38:10
  SPEAKER_00: I also agree with this thinking.
• 38:12
  SPEAKER_00: In Christian theology, Noah's Ark is viewed as a type, an Old Testament foreshadowing of the rapture.
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_00: Both events represent God providing a supernatural rescue for his faithful remnant, a period of safety suspended above earthly tribulation, and a sudden sealing of believers before the outpouring of the divine judgment.
• 38:32
  SPEAKER_00: The parallel connects the Ark to the Rapture focuses on several theological themes.
• 38:37
  SPEAKER_00: Safety above judgment, just as the ark floated above the raging waters of wrath that judged the wicked, believers in the rapture are promised to be caught up in the air, kept safe from the tribulation poured out on the earth.
• 38:49
  SPEAKER_00: The sealed door in Genesis seven sixteen, God personally shuts the door to the ark before the rain begins.
• 38:56
  SPEAKER_00: This symbolizes the eternal security of the believer and the absolute cutoff of salvation's window before global judgment.
• 39:04
  SPEAKER_00: The as in the days of Noah prophecy.
• 39:07
  SPEAKER_00: In the Olivet Discourse, found in Matthew twenty four, thirty seven through thirty nine, Jesus explicitly compares the end times to Noah's day.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_00: He notes that life was proceeding normally, people eating and drinking until the exact moment the righteous were secured and judgment fell.
• 39:25
  SPEAKER_00: The second rapture story is Lot.
• 39:27
  SPEAKER_00: He was rescued from Sodom and is considered a type of rapture in Christian theology because it establishes a consistent biblical pattern.
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_00: God miraculously rescuing his faithful people from a specific location just moments before pouring out catastrophic divine wrath upon the ungodly.
• 39:46
  SPEAKER_00: Theological comparisons between Lot's escape and the rapture include safety before wrath.
• 39:52
  SPEAKER_00: The angels could not destroy Sodom until Lot has safely left.
• 39:55
  SPEAKER_00: This mirrors the estological belief that the church must be removed from earth before the prophesied period of wrath or the great tribulation begins.
• 40:04
  SPEAKER_00: Divine intervention, Lot did not save himself, he had to be physically grasped by the angels and pulled to safety.
• 40:12
  SPEAKER_00: In the rapture, believers are caught up by the direct power of God.
• 40:16
  SPEAKER_00: A way of escape.
• 40:17
  SPEAKER_00: Jesus himself explicitly used the days of Lot alongside the days of Noah to illustrate the end times.
• 40:24
  SPEAKER_00: In the New Testament, he sighted historical events as proof that God provides an escape for believers before global judgment hits, closing the door, just as the angel brought Lot inside and shut the door before raining down fire.
• 40:37
  SPEAKER_00: The rapture symbolizes a specific window of opportunity closing before judgment falls upon the world.
• 40:44
  SPEAKER_00: And the third story is certain Christian estological views compared the rapture to the ancient Galatian or Jewish wedding ceremony.
• 40:53
  SPEAKER_00: In this tradition the groom would negotiate a covenant price, return to his father's house to prepare a bridal chamber, and eventually come back to snatch away his bride.
• 41:03
  SPEAKER_00: The ancient wedding parallels the rapture in several stages.
• 41:07
  SPEAKER_00: The betrothal, the groom would drink a cup of wine with the bride, establishing a covenant, and then leave to return to his father's house.
• 41:14
  SPEAKER_00: This mirrors Jesus' last supper with his disciples, where he instituted the new covenant and promised to prepare a place for the church in his father's house.
• 41:25
  SPEAKER_00: Preparation of a dwelling.
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_00: While away for roughly a year, the groom would build a living space or bridal chamber attached to his father's house.
• 41:33
  SPEAKER_00: Believers view Jesus as currently in heaven, preparing a dwelling place for the church, that is the bride.
• 41:39
  SPEAKER_00: The return as a thief.
• 41:40
  SPEAKER_00: The bride did not know the exact day or hour the groom would return.
• 41:44
  SPEAKER_00: It is usually at night, initiated only when the groom's father approved the bridal chamber.
• 41:49
  SPEAKER_00: This is compared to the rapture, where Christ's return is imminent, unannounced, and like a thief in the night.
• 41:55
  SPEAKER_00: The shouting and the snatching.
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_00: The groom's arrival was typically heralded by a shout and the blast of a trumpet.
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_00: He would then fly or carry the bride away to his father's house, analogous to the rapture, described in 1 Thessalonians four, sixteen through seventeen, where believers are caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord.
• 42:15
  SPEAKER_00: The wedding chamber and the seven days.
• 42:18
  SPEAKER_00: The newlyweds would enter the bridal chamber and remain hidden for seven days, while a feast occurred outside.
• 42:25
  SPEAKER_00: This is often symbolic of the church being safely hidden in heaven during the seven year tribulation before Christ's second coming.
• 42:32
  SPEAKER_00: Many prophecy teachers use a Galatian wedding as a blueprint for a pre tribulation rapture.
• 42:38
  SPEAKER_00: I'm in agreement with this because of the other supporting scriptures which I have included already in this message.
• 42:44
  SPEAKER_00: I also recommend watching some movies and documentaries on the Galatian wedding ceremony, as it can only in a much deeper measure endear you to all that the Father and the Son have done to be sure that we his children and bride are very well informed.
• 42:58
  SPEAKER_00: The first movie is titled Before the Wrath, it was made in 2020.
• 43:02
  SPEAKER_00: It's a docudrama that blends expert interviews with historical reenactments.
• 43:08
  SPEAKER_00: Narrated by Kevin Sorbo, the film explores how the customs and stages of an ancient Galatian wedding, like the betrothal and the groom preparing a room in his father's house, provide cultural context for biblical end time prophecies.
• 43:23
  SPEAKER_00: You can find it on Tubi or Amazon Prime Video.
• 43:26
  SPEAKER_00: The Wedding in Galilee was made in 1987, an acclaimed award-winning feature film directed by Michael Khalifi.
• 43:35
  SPEAKER_00: Rather than a strict documentary, it serves as a richly detailed allegorical drama about a traditional Palestinian village in the Galatian region hosting a marriage ceremony under Israel military curfew.
• 43:50
  SPEAKER_00: You can rent or buy it on Kino Lorber.
• 43:52
  SPEAKER_00: The Galatian Wedding by Jay McCarl, 2020.
• 43:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's a detailed educational and cultural presentation of That visually recreates ancient wedding steps, such as the writing the marriage covenant, Ketuba, and the bride's authority to accept the marriage proposal.
• 44:09
  SPEAKER_00: You can explore this historical breakdown by watching the Galatian wedding on YouTube.
• 44:14
  SPEAKER_00: And the last one is called The Ancient Wedding That Explains the End Times 2025, a concise, highly informative video essay documentary.
• 44:24
  SPEAKER_00: It explicitly covers a concept of Kadushin or Betrothal.
• 44:29
  SPEAKER_00: It illustrates the period of separation where the groom leaves to build an addition to his father's house, an indefinite time frame known only to the father.
• 44:38
  SPEAKER_00: You can watch the summary on YouTube.
• 44:40
  SPEAKER_00: Speaking of this message, let's get to the final category of this part one of two series message the end times.
• 44:48
  SPEAKER_00: Some of you might think, well, why don't you save that for the second message?
• 44:51
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 44:52
  SPEAKER_00: I think all five topics are important.
• 44:54
  SPEAKER_00: We are at the end of the very end of times, and every believer should be fully watching and have the revelation contained in the book of Revelation of the events that are right now taking place in God's timeline.
• 45:05
  SPEAKER_00: Revelation one through three, the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants, things which must shortly take place.
• 45:15
  SPEAKER_00: Remember that was said two thousand years ago, and he sent and signified it by his angel to his servant John, who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw.
• 45:28
  SPEAKER_00: Pay attention to this, blessed is he that is you who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keeps those things which are written in it, for the time is near.
• 45:40
  SPEAKER_00: Again, that was said over two thousand years ago.
• 45:44
  SPEAKER_00: How much more now that we're squarely in the middle of the book of Revelation?
• 45:47
  SPEAKER_00: Now, but if we are confirmedly in the end times, ought we not do everything we can to get the blessing of God in these end time days on our life?
• 45:55
  SPEAKER_00: Sure, for the unprepared, many of them have an ostrich mentality, which in that faulty thinking, they think that they should just ignore the signs, as well, they're going to heaven anyways, right?
• 46:07
  SPEAKER_00: The problem with this is that the rest of the world will not be ostriching in these events taking place, and they will be seeking answers from the likes of us.
• 46:16
  SPEAKER_00: Now how does your intentional ignorance help you to minister to them in these end time days?
• 46:22
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't.
• 46:23
  SPEAKER_00: You yourself will need to be helped by those who are actually paying attention to the Word of God.
• 46:28
  SPEAKER_00: Please do not make the mistake that you will be taught this information through churches or seminaries or similar.
• 46:34
  SPEAKER_00: You will be held accountable for your own pursuit of God, so do not relegate that responsibility to any human institution.
• 46:42
  SPEAKER_00: Your eternity is far too important to make such a mistake.
• 46:45
  SPEAKER_00: Now I didn't say stop going to church or any such thing, but just like you wouldn't leave the responsibility for a friend to fetch a wife for you or to maintain your marriage to any outside body or institution, you shouldn't then adopt such a position regarding God.
• 47:01
  SPEAKER_00: Because I have so many end time messages, I decided to just add a quick summary to this section.
• 47:07
  SPEAKER_00: According to some, of which I am in agreement with, those some, is that we are right now living with the second seal open, which has released the red horse.
• 47:16
  SPEAKER_00: The white horse represented COVID and has now stopped his gallop.
• 47:20
  SPEAKER_00: So this would confirm that we are setting in a judgment position as the seven seals are, one third of God's judgment against ungodliness.
• 47:28
  SPEAKER_00: Of course, my not believing in the rapture crowd might just jump all over this and say, see, we are still here.
• 47:34
  SPEAKER_00: But I would first of all state no one gets it right every time, and but maybe it is God's intention that his church go through a preparation before we get raptured.
• 47:44
  SPEAKER_00: In this case, we the tribulation crowd and the non tribulation crowd would be partially right, and this is why we should get along regardless of position.
• 47:54
  SPEAKER_00: The seven seals are discussed primarily in the book of Revelation, specifically in chapters five, six, and eight.
• 48:01
  SPEAKER_00: These chapters, the apostle John describes a scroll in heaven sealed with seven seals, which only Jesus Christ is worthy to open.
• 48:10
  SPEAKER_00: The opening of each seal reveals symbolic in time judgments.
• 48:14
  SPEAKER_00: Revelation five introduces a sealed scroll and establishes that the land, Jesus, is the only one worthy to break the seals and reveal the future.
• 48:24
  SPEAKER_00: Revelation six details the opening of the first six seals.
• 48:28
  SPEAKER_00: The first four release the famous four horse of the apocalypse, representing conquest, war, famine, and death.
• 48:36
  SPEAKER_00: The fifth seal reveals the martyrs crying out for justice, and the sixth describes cosmic disasters and a great earthquake.
• 48:43
  SPEAKER_00: Revelation eight details the opening of the seventh seal, which brings a period of silence in heaven followed by seven trumpet judgments.
• 48:53
  SPEAKER_00: Additionally, the Olivet Discourse in Matthew twenty four contains Jesus contains teachings from Jesus about the end times that many theologians believe parallel the events of the seven seals.
• 49:07
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so what I'm also inferring is that maybe we are in a type of dual timeline, and that the bride is making herself ready nineteen seven, while at the same time the twenty one judgments of God have begun.
• 49:21
  SPEAKER_00: Some surmise that the church gets raptured right around Revelation chapter eight five, and then we see the wrath of God being poured out in full measure insofar as the trumpet or shofar and seven bold judgments.
• 49:35
  SPEAKER_00: So, if some are correct, we as his bride are going through the seven sealed judgments, which will not include the last fourteen trumpet and bold judgments, which occurred during the tribulation period.
• 49:47
  SPEAKER_00: Let's touch the bottom of the ocean floor, shall we?
• 49:50
  SPEAKER_00: The seven sealed judgments, found in Revelation six, verses one through seventeen and chapter eight, verses one through five.
• 49:58
  SPEAKER_00: These begin with the arrival of the Antichrist and include war, famine, widespread death, cosmic disturbances, and martyrdom.
• 50:06
  SPEAKER_00: Let me clarify something.
• 50:08
  SPEAKER_00: Until the church is raptured, the Antichrist can't come.
• 50:11
  SPEAKER_00: And if Steve Ciolani in his book The Four Horsemen is correct, and he's a pretty accurate prophet, we are already in the first seven judgments, so the Antichrist can't come until the church is taken out of the way.
• 50:24
  SPEAKER_00: I read that earlier in this message.
• 50:26
  SPEAKER_00: The seven trumpet judgments found in Revelation chapter eight, six through chapter nine through verse twenty one, and chapter eleven fifteen through nineteen.
• 50:38
  SPEAKER_00: These are introduced by the seventh seal and bring severe ecological destruction, devastating celestial events and a demonic plague upon the earth.
• 50:48
  SPEAKER_00: The seven bull or vile judgments found in Revelation sixteen one through twenty one.
• 50:55
  SPEAKER_00: These final cataclysmic judgments represent the unmitigated wrath of God, concluding with devastating earthquakes and catastrophic hail.
• 51:05
  SPEAKER_00: Simple enough, we are in the Laodicean church age, and because of the Antichrist preparation to one, explain away the rapture, and two, to begin his reign so that he can persuade millions to walk away from their faith.
• 51:19
  SPEAKER_00: This is also known as the great falling away or apostasy, Second Thessalonians two, one through three, Matthew twenty four, ten through twelve, first Timothy four, one through three, second Timothy four, three through four, second Peter two, one through three, and Acts twenty twenty nine through thirty.
• 51:42
  SPEAKER_00: Keep in mind for a point of reference, each horse runs for about three years, and one horse, while having a very specific purpose, can also lay the groundwork for the next horse.
• 51:53
  SPEAKER_00: An example is the closing of the Strait of Hormuz, and the fact that fertilizers weren't getting to where they were needed.
• 51:59
  SPEAKER_00: This will most certainly have an effect on the cost of food during the ride of the third horse.
• 52:05
  SPEAKER_00: I have spoken a lot on the alien narrative that is right now being prepared so as to possibly be used to explain away the rapture, and but also to turn humanity away from the one true God and Jesus, to worshiping demons disguised as aliens and false gods.
• 52:21
  SPEAKER_00: You can read the Old Testament to see how this was Satan's modus operandi in those days, because he is relentless, he continues to believe it will work again in these New Testament days.
• 52:33
  SPEAKER_00: And but if you are a casual Christian, you will validate the Antichrist and consider that he is right, and it is his strategy for you to do so.
• 52:42
  SPEAKER_00: Once all of the seven seals have been opened and the rapture of the church occurs, the Antichrist will appear, and the rapture of the church occurs, the Antichrist will appear, because the church has been taken out of the way.
• 52:53
  SPEAKER_00: Second Thessalonians two seven.
• 52:56
  SPEAKER_00: The alien narrative will be ready to be swallowed hook, line, and sinker, and thus the rapture will possibly be thought of as nothing more than a mass alien abduction.
• 53:06
  SPEAKER_00: Israel will sign a seven year peace treaty, Daniel nine twenty seven, Matthew twenty four, fifteen, and second Thessalonians two verse three through eleven.
• 53:17
  SPEAKER_00: And the world will continue to become unhinged.
• 53:20
  SPEAKER_00: Peace peace will be the promised narrative, but unhinged it will be first Thessalonians five three.
• 53:27
  SPEAKER_00: After this a millennial reign, Revelation twenty one through ten, Isaiah two, two through four, and chapter eleven, one through verse nine, Jeremiah twenty three verses five through six, and Zechariah fourteen nine and fourteen sixteen.
• 53:48
  SPEAKER_00: And after that Armageddon, which will bring to close the old history of a mankind that went bad, but still had the option to choose eternity with God.
• 53:58
  SPEAKER_00: Eventually hell will be cast into the lake of fire, and voila Revelation sixteen, twelve through sixteen, chapter nineteen, eleven through twenty one, and Joel three two and verse twelve through fourteen.
• 54:12
  SPEAKER_00: The Bible specifically discusses hell, that is Hades and death being cast into the lake of fire in Revelation twenty fourteen.
• 54:20
  SPEAKER_00: The concept is detailed across a few key verses in the book of Revelation.
• 54:24
  SPEAKER_00: Revelation twenty fourteen, then death and Hades, often translated as hell, were thrown into the lake of fire.
• 54:31
  SPEAKER_00: The lake of fire is called the second death.
• 54:34
  SPEAKER_00: Revelation twenty fifteen, anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
• 54:41
  SPEAKER_00: Revelation twenty ten, Satan, the beast and the false prophet, are also cast into the lake of fire and brimstone to be tormented forever.
• 54:50
  SPEAKER_00: Revelation nineteen twenty, the beasts and false prophets are thrown into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
• 54:57
  SPEAKER_00: Revelation twenty one eight.
• 54:58
  SPEAKER_00: It is described as the final destination for the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters, and all liars.
• 55:11
  SPEAKER_00: We could say without error that those who chose to imitate the fallen sons of God and the giants, rather than to imitate God, didn't make the heavenly cut.
• 55:21
  SPEAKER_00: Be on the lookout for part two of this message, which will complete my top five topics.
• 55:26
  SPEAKER_00: It will be under the same title, with the exception that it will state part two of two.
• 55:31
  SPEAKER_00: Let's close in prayer.
• 55:32
  SPEAKER_00: May the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before your God and Father at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
• 55:43
  SPEAKER_00: Now may the God of peace, the one in whom we call wonderful, counselor, mighty God, everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, may He Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
• 55:57
  SPEAKER_00: To our Lord of Lords and our King of Kings, to our high and lifted up great high priest, who has once and for all paid the price, that you might see and hear God, may He hear and respond to our prayers.
• 56:08
  SPEAKER_00: To our God we stand and pray as He too always lives to make intercession for you while seated at the right hand of the Father.
• 56:14
  SPEAKER_00: May the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you what is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ to whom be glory forever and ever.
• 56:29
  SPEAKER_00: Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace, and believing that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
• 56:36
  SPEAKER_00: In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
• 56:38
