- 0:01Revelation Chapter 11. Let us pray.
- 0:07Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty.
- 0:13You are worthy God, worthy to be praised.
- 0:20All honor, all glory, and all power belong unto you.
- 0:24Father. Yahweh everlasting Alba, you are
- 0:32El Elyon, the Most High God, worthy to be praised and honored
- 0:38and glorified. Father, we lay down at your
- 0:41feet. Lord, we worship you in spirit
- 0:46and truth. Lord, let your Shekinah glory
- 0:50come touch us, Father, so that we cannot minister.
- 0:55Lord, I pray you will make us into the image of Christ Jesus
- 1:04today. Help us, Father, to be sold out.
- 1:09Lay down lovers of the way. Help us, Father, to know our
- 1:15worth. Help us to know that we are
- 1:17royal priesthood. Help us to know God, that we're
- 1:21the bride of Christ. Help us to know, Lord, that we
- 1:26are yours and that we are in the fold and that we are in the
- 1:35plans and purposes of you. King Jesus, I pray that you will
- 1:40supernaturally fill us today with the Holy Spirit.
- 1:44Help us today, God, to love you more.
- 1:46Help us to know you. Help us to search the scriptures
- 1:50and help us to pull out the gems and the jewels.
- 1:54Help us to never give up and never slack off.
- 1:57Help us, Father, to love our neighbor.
- 2:03Help us to forgive, Father. I pray that we will have the
- 2:08assurance of salvation today. I pray that we will not let
- 2:12condemnation rule in our hearts and minds.
- 2:15I pray against the torment of the accuser of the brethren,
- 2:20Father. I pray you'll silence the enemy.
- 2:24Silence all of the oppression and the accusations, God.
- 2:29I pray against the asphyxiating, constricting spirit, God.
- 2:34I pray against him in the name of Jesus Christ, Lord.
- 2:38Who the sun sets free is free indeed.
- 2:41So bind the enemy, Father. Bind him and cast him into the
- 2:45judgment that you have awaiting for him, Father.
- 2:48Bind him off of our families and off of our houses, God, I pray
- 2:53you'll bind him off of our finances, Lord, I pray that
- 2:56you'll bind him off of our bodies, God, I pray that we'll
- 2:59have sound minds and sound bodies, Father.
- 3:02I pray that our children will grow up for seven generations,
- 3:06God, To seek and to serve you with all their heart, with all
- 3:10their mind, God, And they will propagate your word to the ends
- 3:14of the earth, Father, to take the whole word to the whole
- 3:19world. God, that is our hope, that is
- 3:22our future. That is the future for our
- 3:24children. For generations after
- 3:26generations after generations of sold out lay down lovers of
- 3:31Yeshua. God Almighty, you are our
- 3:36everything. You're the provider, You're the
- 3:38healer, You're the banner. God, you see us and you are
- 3:44leading us and you are the commander of the Lord's army.
- 3:49Yeshua, we thank you, God, for the sword and the shield.
- 3:54We thank you for the helmet and the shoes.
- 3:56God, we thank you for the belt and the breastplate.
- 3:59God, I pray that we'll have the fruit of the Spirit.
- 4:02Lord, let us be gentle and meek and mild.
- 4:05God, let us practice self-control.
- 4:08God, and to love and to have joy and mercy.
- 4:11Lord, help us, Lord, to know that you are our rear guard and
- 4:16our front guard and our side guard, Father, that you are a
- 4:20force field of protection and a hedge around this house and
- 4:24around this family. Lord, increase the government.
- 4:29Lord, increase your government upon this earth.
- 4:33Lord, let there be the righteousness of leadership
- 4:39across this entire globe. Father, bring about your
- 4:43purposes and plans, Lord, and use us in the mighty name of
- 4:48Jesus, I pray, Amen. Well, let's start in verse one.
- 4:55And there was given me a Reed like unto a rod.
- 5:00And verse 2 the Angel stood saying, Rise and measure the
- 5:06temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
- 5:11So here you can see that John is given a measuring rod and we
- 5:20know from Ezekiel chapter 40 through 48 that this particular
- 5:26temple that is mentioned here in Revelation Chapter 11 is not the
- 5:31same temple that is measured in Ezekiel 40 through 48, which is
- 5:37the millennial temple. This temple is the tribulation
- 5:41temple. This is where the Antichrist
- 5:44will sit in to be worshipped as God.
- 5:48And there are many people who are making all the preparations
- 5:52for this third temple that is referenced here in Revelation
- 5:57Chapter 11. But we need to know that the
- 6:00temple in Ezekiel 40 through 48 is the 4th temple and that
- 6:04temple particularly is a mile square.
- 6:08And the geography, the current geography in Israel today is not
- 6:13able to actually house the Ezekiel temple, friend.
- 6:19And so there will be a massive a massive geological disruption,
- 6:25an earthquake that causes the land to settle in a way that
- 6:32Jesus Christ will be the officiator of building the
- 6:37thousand year millennial temple that is mentioned in Ezekiel 40
- 6:42through 48. This particular temple that
- 6:45we're about to read in Revelation 11 is the third
- 6:49temple that the Antichrist will sit in verse 2.
- 6:53But the court which is outside the temple, leave out and
- 6:57measure it not for it is given unto the Gentiles and the holy
- 7:01city shall they tread under foot. 40 and two months.
- 7:06This is the last half of the seven-year tribulation for 3 1/2
- 7:10years. It will be hell on earth for
- 7:14Jerusalem particularly. The whole earth will be
- 7:17experiencing that hell for seven years.
- 7:20But Jerusalem and Israel will have a peace treaty for the 1st
- 7:253 1/2 years so that the Temple can be built and so that the
- 7:30Antichrist can sit in it. The abomination of desolation,
- 7:34friends, that is mentioned in Daniel and Jesus himself
- 7:38referenced it as well. And he told us that we'll know
- 7:41that the end is near when we see all of that happening.
- 7:44And there will be a remnant 144,000 Jews that are the
- 7:49missionaries there. There will be a myriad of
- 7:52Gentiles that give their life over to God Almighty during the
- 7:57Tribulation and they'll have to suffer so much persecution that
- 8:01is mentioned throughout scripture.
- 8:02But the church will be gone up and out, friends during this
- 8:06seven-year time. But you can see here in
- 8:09Revelation Chapter 11 that the Dome of the Rock, friends, this
- 8:14Islamic group, friends, the Muslims that control that it is
- 8:18outside of it, friends. And he says don't even measure
- 8:21it. It is given over to the Gentiles
- 8:25three and I will give power unto my 2 witnesses, and they shall
- 8:28prophecy 1203 score days clothed and sackcloth.
- 8:34So we're going to get into an interesting little passage here
- 8:37about these two witnesses and we need to know that they have
- 8:41power from on high and God supernaturally protects them.
- 8:46Verse 4 These are the 2 olive trees and the two candlesticks
- 8:51standing before the God of the earth.
- 8:53So we need to know from Zechariah that they are fueled
- 8:57by the Holy Spirit. It is an it is an unending
- 9:01filling for these two witnesses. They have all the power of the
- 9:05Holy Spirit to be able to do the work of God and to evangelize.
- 9:09They can do all kinds of miracles, and it will all be for
- 9:14the purpose of leading many people away from darkness and
- 9:20unto light and salvation. That is the purpose of these two
- 9:23witnesses. Five.
- 9:25And if any man will hurt them, fire proceeds out of their mouth
- 9:29and devours their enemies. And if any man will hurt them,
- 9:32he must in this manner be killed.
- 9:35So we can surmise that this is Elijah and Moses.
- 9:39We can see that they very well could be the two witnesses
- 9:46Friends, but we know that they are literal men who will be
- 9:52witnesses during the seven-year tribulation.
- 9:56Friends. Six.
- 10:00These have power to shut heaven that it rain not in the days of
- 10:05their prophecy. And they have power over waters
- 10:08to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all
- 10:12plagues as often as they will. So you can see here that they
- 10:17are going to be a nuisance unto and an ungodly, wicked, and
- 10:22perverse generation. They are able to do the same
- 10:25things that Moses was in Egypt, and they are able to do the same
- 10:32things that Elijah was on the mount of Carmel whenever fire
- 10:38rained down and killed all the prophets of all.
- 10:42You can see here that they have power from on high 7 and when
- 10:47they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that
- 10:51ascends out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them
- 10:56and shall overcome them and kill them.
- 11:00This Abaddon, this beast out of the pit, we saw him back in
- 11:05Revelation Chapter 9, and he is a leader over all of the demonic
- 11:11friends. He is a cohort of Satan himself,
- 11:15and you can see that he has making war against them and
- 11:22overcomes them and he kills them.
- 11:24He has that power to kill them. 8 And their dead bodies shall
- 11:28lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is
- 11:32called Sodom, and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
- 11:39So you can see here that this world system has crept in, this
- 11:44Babylon the whore has crept in even into Jerusalem.
- 11:51And you can see that they have given themselves over and made
- 11:55the Antichrist into their Messiah.
- 11:58And it won't be until he demands to be worshipped that the lights
- 12:01come on and they realize that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, and
- 12:06that they have falsely put their faith in the Antichrist.
- 12:11And you can see here that this Sodom is a representative of the
- 12:16perversity. It is a representative of all
- 12:19sexual immorality, friends. And you can see here that Egypt
- 12:24is a representative of bondage and oppression.
- 12:29Friends 9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and
- 12:36nations shall see their dead bodies 3 days and a half, and
- 12:41shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
- 12:45So that would be the greatest humiliation.
- 12:47And the whole world is rejoicing that these prophets are dead.
- 12:52These two witnesses are dead because they have caused the
- 12:55waters to become blood, they have caused it not to rain, they
- 12:59have caused plagues to come upon the ungodly.
- 13:03Friends. And you can see that now that
- 13:05they're dead, that the people are rejoicing, and they leave
- 13:10their bodies in the streets as a sign of humiliation. 10 And they
- 13:19that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them and make
- 13:22merry, and shall send gifts one to another, because these two
- 13:27prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
- 13:30So during this time, the two prophets would have had power to
- 13:34do all kinds of miracles to prove that God is real and to
- 13:39give many people chance after chance after chance after chance
- 13:43after chance to put their faith in the Lord God Almighty through
- 13:47his Son, Jesus Christ. But here, after the beast kills
- 13:51them and they're lying in the streets, they're so glad that
- 13:55they're dead and that the plagues have stopped and that
- 13:58the rain will continue and the water will turn back to
- 14:03drinkable, that they actually start sending gifts one to
- 14:07another. This is so repulsive, friends,
- 14:14that the godly are being tormented and that the wicked
- 14:21are rejoicing. Woe to you who call evil good
- 14:25and good evil. And you can see it all outlined
- 14:29right here, that they're so glad that these godly men are gone,
- 14:34that they are rejoicing and even going so far as to send gifts to
- 14:38one another. And you can see that the whole
- 14:40world was able to see it all at one time, friends.
- 14:45And we have the technology today for this to actually happen. 11
- 14:53And after three days and a half, the spirit of life from God
- 14:57entered into them, and they stood upon their feet, and great
- 15:01fear fell upon them which saw them.
- 15:04So after 3 1/2 days, the Spirit of God goes and picks them up
- 15:14off the ground. They are resuscitated, friends,
- 15:19they come back to life even though they were thought to be
- 15:23dead. And great fear falls upon the
- 15:27entire earth. 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying
- 15:32unto them, Come up here, And they ascended up to heaven in a
- 15:36cloud, and their enemies beheld them.
- 15:40So God here raptures them. He catches them up off the earth
- 15:45after they come back to life. 13 In the same hour there was a
- 15:51great earthquake, and the tent part of the city fell, and in
- 15:56the earthquake were slain of men. 7000 and the remnant were
- 16:02affrighted and gave glory to the God of heaven.
- 16:05So you can see there's great geological distress during this
- 16:11time and it's all setting up the scene for Armageddon 14.
- 16:21The second woe is passed and quickly.
- 16:23The third woe comes quickly. It's quick, friends, it's quick,
- 16:28quick, quick. The moment the church has gone
- 16:30up and out, we're on A7 year clock.
- 16:35You can hit the start button the moment that there is a massive
- 16:41evacuation of the church gone up and out of the world.
- 16:47It is not some alien abduction as some will have it to be
- 16:52explained by Mark my words. Sound the alarm when there is a
- 16:57massive disappearance of people on this earth.
- 17:01Start the time clock. It's seven years.
- 17:03Give your life over to God Almighty while there is still
- 17:07time. It is quick, it is quick, it is
- 17:10quick. 15 And the 7th Angel sounded, and there were great
- 17:14voices in heaven saying, the kingdoms of this world are
- 17:19become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall
- 17:24reign forever and ever. Jesus Christ himself will rule
- 17:29in reign literally from geographical planet earth, from
- 17:35literal geographical Jerusalem. Friends in the Ezekiel temple,
- 17:42and you will find that in Ezekiel chapter 40 through 48.
- 17:46Friends, go back and read it and you will see where Jesus will
- 17:51rule and reign from and what it will be like.
- 17:53And there are many passages throughout all of the Bible that
- 17:58outline this thousand year reign of Christ and all the kingdoms
- 18:03of the world will be his. And then not only that, friends,
- 18:07once the thousand year reign is over, then the Great White
- 18:12Throne, and then it will be New Jerusalem, friends. 2000 miles
- 18:18by 2000 miles by 2000 miles. A cube that descends onto
- 18:24literal geographical planet earth forever and ever and ever.
- 18:29And God will come, and God will be with us.
- 18:34Emmanuel 16 and the 24 elders which sat before God on their
- 18:45seats, fell upon their faces and worshipped God.
- 18:48That is the correct response, friends.
- 18:55These 24 elders, they see all of this happening and their only
- 18:59response is to fall down and worship Yahweh, everlasting
- 19:05Almighty God. And we remember the 24 elders as
- 19:10being the full representative of the 12 tribes of Israel and the
- 19:1512 apostles. Friends, it's the church and it
- 19:18is the Jews together as one in all of God's presence here
- 19:24represented by the 24 elders. 17 saying, We give you thanks.
- 19:29So Lord God Almighty, which are and was and are to come, because
- 19:35you have taken to you the great power and have reign.
- 19:40God always has the power, but He loves us so much to leave us in
- 19:44our free will. And you can see that He is
- 19:48long-suffering with mankind, but He has all the power to do
- 19:53whatever He pleases. Friends, and it is in his loving
- 19:59kindness that he allows us and gives us the space to make
- 20:04decisions for him. 18 And the nations were angry, and your
- 20:10wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be
- 20:15judged. And that you should give reward
- 20:19unto your servants, the prophets into the Saints, and them that
- 20:23fear your name small and great, and should destroy them, which
- 20:29destroy the earth. So here's the culmination of it
- 20:32all, friends. You see that the just are
- 20:36rewarded, the Bema seat, friends, where we go to be
- 20:41rewarded for all of the things that we have done.
- 20:44And the Great White Throne where all of the wicked will be judged
- 20:49and they will not be able to stand before a holy God and try
- 20:53to make excuses. They will not be able to weasel
- 20:57their way out and try to tell God of all the things that
- 21:01they've done. If they would not come to Him
- 21:05through Jesus Christ, then there is no salvation outside of that.
- 21:11We'll end on 19. And the temple of God was opened
- 21:15in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his
- 21:19testament, and there were lightnings and voices and
- 21:22thunderings, and an earthquake and great hail.
- 21:25God's judgement has come as He sits upon the throne, and it is
- 21:30time for the culmination and the end of all time and for us to go
- 21:36to be with Him forever more. I hope that you have been
- 21:38blessed by this amazing chapter in God's Word.
- 21:41I know I sure have. I'm praying for every single one
- 21:46of you. I love you.
- 21:48Put your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ today.
- 21:51Today is the day of salvation. Work out your salvation with
- 21:57fear and trembling before a holy and awesome God.
- 22:08I love you. I'll see you back here tomorrow.
- 22:15God bless you.
