802. Bible Study: Jeremiah 49 (Is this also about the return of Jesus?) · Faith by annm2705

• 0:00
  We are covering chapter 49 from the Book of Jeremiah today.
• 0:04
  I thought this was going to be a really quick one that we go
• 0:08
  through since I combined several chapters in the last episode.
• 0:12
  But I came across a lot of very interesting things where I see
• 0:17
  some of these messages as having partial fulfillment, but yet
• 0:22
  some of these messages may have fulfillment in our future.
• 0:27
  So that's why it gets interesting for us.
• 0:29
  So I hope you join me on this one.
• 0:31
  It might be a long one, but it will definitely be interesting.
• 0:36
  So let's get started. Dear Lord, please be with us as
• 0:39
  we read through this chapter. Give us wisdom from the Holy
• 0:42
  Spirit to look into these things.
• 0:45
  We ask this in Jesus name. So this is a message about Ammon
• 0:50
  and Ammon is in part of southern Jordan today and I guess maybe
• 0:59
  part of the Israel, I'm not sure if it's covers any of that, but
• 1:03
  it's definitely within the territory of Jordan today.
• 1:07
  So concerning the Ammonites, this is what the Lord says has
• 1:12
  Israel no sons, has Israel no heir.
• 1:17
  Why then has Molech taken possession of Gad?
• 1:22
  So I'm going to pause here for a minute because Molech was, you
• 1:27
  know, a God that they worshipped.
• 1:30
  But then also when I looked in the Hebrew text, the Molech that
• 1:35
  is written in there means king. So it could mean a couple of
• 1:41
  things. It says, then why has the king
• 1:43
  taken possession of God? But it could also be like a
• 1:46
  spiritual quote, King perhaps taken possession of God.
• 1:51
  But this is something I don't have the answer to.
• 1:53
  But it was something that stood out to me because Molech was
• 1:57
  that little G God that they used to sacrifice children to child
• 2:02
  sacrifices. So that's why I was wondering,
• 2:07
  you know, who, who is this that is being referred to?
• 2:10
  Because this is what the Lord says.
• 2:12
  So why do his people live in its towns?
• 2:16
  Now here's where it says, But the days are coming, declares
• 2:19
  the Lord, when I will sound the battle cry.
• 2:24
  So my thought was like, is this the trumpet sound?
• 2:28
  And I'll give you more reasons why.
• 2:29
  There's a lot of things in here that refer to something in the
• 2:32
  future, but also in the current time.
• 2:36
  Like it makes sense that Babylon, but I think Babylon.
• 2:41
  So King Nebuchadnezzar was the king of Babylon and he was the
• 2:46
  one that was going out conquering everyone.
• 2:48
  But I think Nebuchadnezzar is something, you know, there was
• 2:53
  something within him. God used him for his for God's
• 2:58
  purposes and to bring judgment upon people.
• 3:03
  But at the same time, what is inspiring Nebuchadnezzar appears
• 3:10
  to be something eternally evil. It just seems like it just keeps
• 3:14
  coming up from that area. I mean, Nimrod, he also was from
• 3:18
  that same area. So these are things that you
• 3:22
  start seeing a connection. The more that I've studied, the
• 3:26
  more I see these things. So again, going back to
• 3:30
  Scripture, when will I sound the battle cry against Raba of the
• 3:34
  Ammonites? So this was the capital city of
• 3:37
  Ammon. It will become a mound of runes,
• 3:41
  and its surrounding villages will be set on fire.
• 3:44
  Well, of course, that sounds like that probably already did
• 3:48
  happen. But again, I think there's some
• 3:51
  double fulfillment of this, these passages that we're
• 3:54
  reading. So the study Bible says why this
• 3:57
  short, unexplained promise of restoration, a proclamation of
• 4:03
  judgement was frequently coupled with a promise of blessing by
• 4:07
  the Old Testament prophets. This was Jeremiah's parting shot
• 4:10
  at Moab. It was a message of hope.
• 4:12
  God was out to redeem all of humanity, not just the nation of
• 4:17
  Israel. If repentance followed God's
• 4:21
  judgment, restoration would follow repentance.
• 4:26
  God would share His blessings with the Moabites if they would
• 4:30
  only repent. So that holds true for us today
• 4:35
  that there are blessings if we repent.
• 4:38
  It's hard to say to admit when we're wrong.
• 4:41
  It's hard to go to God humbly and admit all the things we've
• 4:45
  done that were in rebellion to him and repent is not just
• 4:48
  telling him all the bad things that we did, which he knows
• 4:51
  already, but it's actually turning away from those things.
• 4:56
  So when we repent, or if we repent, that means our intention
• 5:01
  is to never go back to that again, to not do it again.
• 5:04
  And the way that we can make that commitment to God is by
• 5:10
  asking him for the Holy Spirit, asking Jesus for the Holy Spirit
• 5:15
  because he asked the Father. And the Father sends the Holy
• 5:17
  Spirit. And that way if we go through
• 5:21
  Jesus, because Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and no
• 5:24
  one goes to the Father except through him.
• 5:27
  So if we go through through Jesus and ask Jesus for the Holy
• 5:31
  Spirit, he said for his disciples, those are disciples.
• 5:36
  Let's clarify what that is. Someone who studies what Christ
• 5:40
  said, what Jesus said. So if we are studying and
• 5:46
  learning from what Jesus taught, we are a disciple.
• 5:50
  So anyway, that's what Jesus had promised his disciples, his
• 5:56
  followers. So if we have the Holy Spirit,
• 6:01
  we then have the power of God to overcome our sinful ways, our
• 6:07
  rebellious ways. So that's how it works.
• 6:10
  We rely on the power of God, but we have to humble ourselves
• 6:13
  knowing that we can't do it on our own, we need God to do it.
• 6:17
  So anyway, going back to the Scripture, how would a small
• 6:22
  impotent Israel drive out the Ammonites?
• 6:25
  This would be accomplished through Israel's all powerful
• 6:29
  God. The specific details of when
• 6:32
  this happened or how God showed his power are not known.
• 6:37
  That's an interesting thing because it doesn't clarify, you
• 6:42
  know, the study Bible says it doesn't clarify how God did it.
• 6:45
  But the days are coming. I still think this is a future
• 6:48
  thing. I think this is, you know, God
• 6:51
  use. I mean, back in this time they
• 6:52
  didn't, you know, have the names of the future, except I think
• 6:57
  they did have the name of a future city that would in Egypt
• 7:04
  that worship the sun. I think that's specified in
• 7:07
  prophecy. But beyond that, they were, you
• 7:11
  know, if they said some future name, no one would know.
• 7:14
  We, on the other hand, have a benefit because we can look up
• 7:17
  these names, these ancient cities, and find where they were
• 7:21
  back in the days of the Bible. So we can understand the lands
• 7:24
  that they're talking about. But if they had future prophecy,
• 7:29
  it wouldn't make sense to them and they couldn't apply it to
• 7:31
  themselves. But today we can apply it too.
• 7:34
  So the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will sound the
• 7:39
  battle cry. I mean, the trumpet was used as
• 7:42
  a call to war. I mean, think about this.
• 7:45
  In the battle when the walls came down at Jericho, they
• 7:48
  marched around the city of Jericho.
• 7:51
  Figures. First what, 7 days?
• 7:53
  And then in the 7th day the trumpet was blown and the walls
• 7:56
  fell down. Like that is the power of God.
• 7:58
  And again, there's some symbolism and significance about
• 8:01
  the seven days. I think it also relates to the
• 8:04
  future. I don't know. 7 the final week
• 8:09
  that was referred to in the book of Daniel, the the end of the
• 8:13
  age before it transitions to the reign of the Messiah of Jesus.
• 8:18
  So lots of symbolism in that. Then going continuing on in
• 8:24
  Scripture, it says then Israel will drive out those who drove
• 8:29
  her out. So it does say that Israel's
• 8:33
  going to do this, says the Lord whale Heshbon for a is
• 8:39
  destroyed. Cry out you inhabitants of Rabba
• 8:43
  put on sackcloth and morn rush here and there inside the walls.
• 8:47
  For Molech will go into exile together with his priest and
• 8:53
  officials. So whether he was a king or the
• 8:55
  king, or it was referring to a spiritual entity that was going
• 8:59
  to go into exile, I'm not sure. Why do you boast of your
• 9:04
  valleys? Boast of your valleys so
• 9:07
  fruitful, unfaithful daughter Ammon, you trust in your riches
• 9:14
  and say who will attack me? I will bring terror on you from
• 9:19
  all those around you, declares the Lord, the Lord, the
• 9:22
  Almighty. Everyone of you will be driven
• 9:24
  away, and no one will gather the fugitives.
• 9:29
  Yet afterward, I will restore the fortunes of the Ammonites.
• 9:34
  So how can God restore the fortunes of the Ammonites after
• 9:39
  a complete destruction? The only way to do that is in
• 9:43
  the Kingdom of God, and that's what I believe this is referring
• 9:48
  to, that He will restore the fortunes.
• 9:51
  He's made these promises to many nations what he would do, but
• 9:55
  there are some that he does does not make that promise to.
• 10:00
  And I think that's us. Also a word of warning about,
• 10:04
  you know, if there if there is no repentance, because some just
• 10:07
  will not repent, they will stay on their same course and they
• 10:11
  will not submit to the Lord and make God Lord over their lives.
• 10:15
  They're going to persist in their stubborn ways and God
• 10:20
  allows that choice. Nobody is forced to respect to
• 10:25
  God or to follow God. It's a it's a choice that we all
• 10:29
  must make. Even if we say I'm not going to
• 10:32
  make it, I'm just going to wait till later.
• 10:34
  By default, unfortunately, you're rejecting God.
• 10:38
  So the sooner you can, if you're going to or you think you might
• 10:42
  in the future, the sooner you can surrender to God, submit to
• 10:46
  God, and let God guide your life, the better off you're
• 10:49
  going to be. Because if something disastrous
• 10:52
  happens that you didn't plan for before you've made that
• 10:55
  commitment, you're going to rely on the mercy of God.
• 11:00
  God can do whatever he wants to do, but he's going to know your
• 11:04
  motivation. He's going to know your heart.
• 11:06
  So if you're resisting him, I wouldn't want to be in that
• 11:09
  place because eternal separation from God is something I promise
• 11:16
  no one wants. So why would God call the Pagan
• 11:21
  the Pagan Ammonites? His daughter Jeremiah may have
• 11:25
  used this term to show that God had a claim on the entire world.
• 11:30
  All nations have descended from Noah and all have the
• 11:35
  opportunity of worshipping the one true God.
• 11:39
  So that's true for all of us, just like we were.
• 11:42
  I was saying, OK, then there's another message.
• 11:45
  So that that message covered Ammon, part of Jordan.
• 11:50
  And again, like I said, I think it may be a double fulfillment
• 11:55
  or maybe, you know, but this says Israel will drive out those
• 11:59
  who drove her out. So I don't know that this
• 12:04
  actually happened yet. Israel, that could mean Jesus,
• 12:10
  honestly, because Jesus descended from the tribe of
• 12:14
  Judah. So in a sense, if, if it's
• 12:19
  referring to the, the bigger Israel, the Jacob who was
• 12:23
  renamed Israel, then it would, you know, Jesus would fall under
• 12:28
  that. So could it be that then Jesus
• 12:32
  will drive out those who drove Israel out?
• 12:36
  I don't know. It's a thought, but that's just
• 12:39
  something that came to mind as I was reading this.
• 12:42
  I hadn't thought of that before, but just very interesting.
• 12:46
  OK, so that first one about Ammon and they're going to be
• 12:51
  restored. So it's like anybody who repents
• 12:54
  and turns to Christ has that opportunity, who has the Lord as
• 13:02
  the Lord our Creator, as their God.
• 13:05
  I mean, that's, that's essentially what needs to happen
• 13:08
  in order to be in God's Kingdom. We need to be born again, as
• 13:11
  Jesus said, we need to be born of the Holy Spirit.
• 13:13
  We need to receive that Holy Spirit from Jesus or from the
• 13:16
  Father through Jesus in order to be in the Kingdom of God.
• 13:21
  Jesus said in John chapter 3 that no one can see the Kingdom
• 13:25
  of heaven, the Kingdom of God, unless they are born again.
• 13:31
  So the next message that Jeremiah gets, this is
• 13:33
  concerning Edom, which is also in Jordan.
• 13:36
  It's southwest Jordan, and this is where the Esau family line
• 13:41
  descended. And you can see that or find
• 13:45
  that in Genesis chapter 36, verse 1.
• 13:48
  So these people who settled here were from the Esau, Esau's
• 13:52
  family line. And Esau was the brother of
• 13:56
  Jacob. But Esau gave away he was the
• 13:58
  first born. But he gave away his first born,
• 14:01
  right? Because he wanted to satisfy his
• 14:04
  his self. He wanted some Stew and said,
• 14:06
  I'll give you my birthright if you give me some of the Stew.
• 14:09
  So he essentially, I mean, it's, it's a literal event, but it has
• 14:15
  symbolic meaning. Like he gave away something
• 14:18
  really valuable because he was look, focusing on something
• 14:23
  worldly or something physical and not looking at future.
• 14:28
  And that's what we can do too. We could be like Issa where we
• 14:31
  give away our eternity with God for something that we're doing
• 14:38
  in rebellion to God right now where we are, we are not
• 14:42
  submitted to him. And and so that would be
• 14:46
  foolishness to do that. So this one is really
• 14:50
  interesting because as far as Edom goes and Edom's I guess
• 14:54
  descendants, it doesn't sound like they are.
• 14:59
  I don't know, at least that land is not going to have a good
• 15:05
  outcome there. I don't see a promise here for
• 15:09
  that group. And you can pay attention to it
• 15:12
  and read it yourself, but I'm not seeing a message of, of you
• 15:19
  getting that back. And it could just be like
• 15:21
  somebody who's aligned with Esau's family line of
• 15:25
  descendants, like they gave it up.
• 15:27
  That could just be representative of people who
• 15:29
  just gave up what they were going to inherit.
• 15:33
  And there will there will be people who do that.
• 15:36
  So let's get to the message concerning Edom.
• 15:39
  This is what the Lord Almighty says.
• 15:41
  Is there no longer wisdom in Teemon Teeman is modern day
• 15:46
  Yemen? I did look that up, so that's
• 15:49
  interesting. Yemen is there no longer wisdom
• 15:51
  in Yemen? Has counsel perished from the
• 15:55
  prudent? Has their wisdom decayed?
• 15:58
  Turn and flee, hide in deep caves.
• 16:02
  All you who live in Didan, that is modern day Saudi Arabia.
• 16:09
  So when I read turn and flee, hide in deep caves, I this made
• 16:16
  me think about the last days and the day of the Lord, the day of
• 16:22
  his wrath. When people, you know, say, you
• 16:25
  know, they hide in caves and they say hide us from the Lord,
• 16:29
  hide us from the face of the Lord because his wrath is
• 16:32
  coming. So again, I'm, you know, that
• 16:35
  could be a stretch, just that statement alone to say, well,
• 16:39
  you know, hide in caves or whatever.
• 16:43
  So, you know, I, I don't want to stretch the truth here.
• 16:49
  So caves were places of shelter and I did look up caves and you
• 16:55
  can do it too in a digital version of the Bible.
• 16:59
  So people did they? It's like it back in Judges 6,
• 17:07
  chapter 6, verse 2. Because the power of Midian was
• 17:10
  so oppressive, the Israelites prepared shelters for themselves
• 17:13
  in mountain clefts, caves and strongholds.
• 17:17
  So they were, it says, you know, in other verses they hid in
• 17:21
  caves. Obadiah hid hundreds of prophets
• 17:26
  and two caves. People will flee to caves in the
• 17:31
  rocks and the holes in the ground from the fearful presence
• 17:34
  of the Lord and the splendor of His Majesty when he rises to
• 17:39
  shake the earth. Now that's from Isaiah chapter 2
• 17:42
  verse 19. So again, that is an end times
• 17:45
  verse where that's a a place where they're going to hide out.
• 17:52
  And then, of course, where we're reading now, turn and flee deep
• 17:55
  in hide in deep caves. You who live in Didan, for I
• 17:59
  will bring disaster on Esau at the time when I punish him.
• 18:05
  And it says flee quickly, stay in deep caves.
• 18:10
  You who live in Hazar, declares the Lord Nebuchadnezzar, king of
• 18:15
  Babylon, has plotted against you.
• 18:16
  He has devised a plan against you.
• 18:18
  So that portion has definitely been fulfilled because we will
• 18:23
  see later how God said Hazar will never be occupied or
• 18:28
  inhabited. And I'll tell you more about
• 18:32
  what Hazar has become from the Bible, because that's really
• 18:35
  interesting too. So in Ezekiel, here's what it
• 18:40
  says about people who go to hide in in caves.
• 18:43
  I'll read the whole statement. Ezekiel 33 verse 27 Say this to
• 18:48
  them. This is what the sovereign Lord
• 18:50
  says. As surely as I live, those who
• 18:52
  are left in the ruins will fall by the sword.
• 18:57
  Those out in the country I will give to the wild animals to be
• 19:00
  devoured, and those in strongholds and caves will die
• 19:04
  of a plague. So if somebody's hiding in a
• 19:07
  cave, they're going to die of a plague.
• 19:10
  That's what Jesus says, not Jesus.
• 19:14
  That's what the prophet Ezekiel said.
• 19:16
  And I'm thinking about when Jesus returns.
• 19:21
  And then in Hebrews 11, oh, this is just talking about living in
• 19:25
  caves, so that's not relevant to the end of the age, but this is
• 19:30
  the verse that came to mind about hiding in deep caves.
• 19:34
  Then the kings of the earth, the Princess, the generals, the
• 19:38
  rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid
• 19:43
  in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
• 19:48
  And in Revelation 615 that this is during the very next verse is
• 19:55
  they called to the mountains and the rocks fall on us and hide us
• 20:00
  from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of
• 20:04
  the Lamb. The Lamb is Jesus for the great
• 20:08
  day of their wrath has come and who can withstand it.
• 20:13
  So this is something that, you know, modern day, like a lot of
• 20:18
  people, I've seen things. What that people have said about
• 20:24
  the elites of America building these underground, basically
• 20:29
  like bomb shelters almost. Are those considered caves?
• 20:34
  Are those what people are going to hide out in and expect to let
• 20:38
  all of this future pass by and, you know, not affect them?
• 20:44
  I don't think, you know, like, I don't think that's going to work
• 20:48
  out, especially when you read Bible prophecy, because if God
• 20:51
  says this, there's no one who can escape him.
• 20:55
  So even if somebody is down underground, I mean, they may
• 20:59
  escape the battles of humans, but they're not going to escape
• 21:03
  God because God's judgment will come no matter where we are.
• 21:08
  He will we will be found. So again, that will go back to
• 21:13
  scripture now. So he's saying that anybody
• 21:15
  who's hiding in a cave is going to die of plague in future
• 21:18
  prophecy. And then it says if grape
• 21:21
  pickers come to you, would not would they not leave a few
• 21:27
  grapes if thieves came during the night?
• 21:30
  Would they not steal only as much as they wanted?
• 21:35
  Now, that probably just seems like, OK People were, you know,
• 21:42
  farmers back then, and this would make sense to them, you
• 21:46
  know, So if great pickers came, they still leave a few.
• 21:49
  And if thieves came during the night, would they not only steal
• 21:52
  as much as they wanted? Those are common things.
• 21:56
  But when you've read as I've read and maybe many of you have
• 22:01
  also the Bible, you start noticing that specific things
• 22:06
  are repeated. So like grape pickers that made
• 22:11
  me think about the harvest and about Jesus's return and a thief
• 22:18
  coming during the night. That's another thing that's used
• 22:21
  very many times. So in Luke chapter 12 verse 39,
• 22:28
  this is Jesus talking. But understand this, if the
• 22:31
  owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming,
• 22:36
  he would not have let his house be broken into.
• 22:40
  Then he says you also must be ready because the Son of Man
• 22:46
  referring to himself will come at an hour when you do not
• 22:50
  expect him. So this is, I mean, then there's
• 22:56
  a lot more in Luke chapter 12. So if you want to read that, I
• 23:00
  mean, it's about like God cares about what we're doing when he
• 23:03
  returns. And if we knew when he was
• 23:06
  returning, we would have prepared.
• 23:10
  And then that is what he's saying again, that you must be
• 23:14
  ready. And he says that in many
• 23:16
  different ways, because he gives the parable of the 10 virgins,
• 23:19
  the five that were foolish and we're not prepared, and the five
• 23:23
  that were prepared and the five that were foolish had needed
• 23:26
  more time. And they went back to say, let
• 23:28
  us in. And it said, Nope, you can't
• 23:30
  come in, the door's shut. So this is a warning to all of
• 23:35
  us. Like Jesus told so many parables
• 23:38
  about this stuff, we need to be prepared.
• 23:40
  Now again it says, I don't know if this is where the day of the
• 23:50
  Lord. So the day of the Lord is also
• 23:53
  expressed as the time of a thief coming in night, and that you
• 23:59
  can find in First Thessalonians chapter 5.
• 24:03
  Paul is the one who said this. Now, brothers and sisters, about
• 24:07
  times and dates, we do not need to write you, for you know very
• 24:11
  well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the
• 24:17
  night. While people are saying peace
• 24:20
  and safety, destruction will come on them suddenly as labor
• 24:26
  pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
• 24:31
  But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness, so that
• 24:34
  this day should surprise you like a thief.
• 24:37
  You are all children of the light and children of the day.
• 24:40
  We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.
• 24:43
  So then let us not be like others who are asleep, but let
• 24:49
  us be awake and and sober. For those who sleep, sleep at
• 24:54
  night. And those who get drunk get
• 24:55
  drunk at night. But since we belong to the day,
• 24:58
  let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate
• 25:03
  and the hope of salvation as a helmet.
• 25:05
  For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath, but to receive
• 25:10
  salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
• 25:15
  He died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep, we may
• 25:19
  live together with Him. Therefore, encourage one another
• 25:22
  and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
• 25:27
  So there's more to that chapter. It's good to read, but I read a
• 25:31
  bunch of it. So again, we see that the day of
• 25:35
  the Lord is connected with the thief in the night and it's
• 25:38
  about the Lord's return and giving us warnings.
• 25:41
  So I do believe that this may be a AA double fulfillment
• 25:49
  prophecy. And then these grape pickers,
• 25:54
  that's something else that's really interesting too, because
• 25:56
  there's they're different harvest.
• 26:00
  So in Isaiah chapter 18, verse 5, it says for before the
• 26:07
  harvest, when the blossom is gone and the flower becomes a
• 26:12
  ripening grape, he will cut off the shoots with pruning knives
• 26:18
  and cut down and take away the spreading branches.
• 26:23
  They will all be left to the mountain birds of prey and to
• 26:27
  the wild animals. The birds will feed on them all
• 26:29
  summer, the wild animals all winter.
• 26:33
  At that time gifts will be brought to the Lord Almighty
• 26:36
  from a people tall and smooth skin, from a people feared far
• 26:40
  and wide, an aggressive nation of strange speech, whose land is
• 26:44
  divided by rivers. The gifts will be brought to
• 26:46
  Mount Zion, the place of the name of the Lord Almighty.
• 26:51
  Now this is talking well. This is talking about Cush,
• 26:55
  which is it, which is I guess in Egypt, I believe.
• 27:01
  And, and there's, you know, it's, this is a little bit hard
• 27:06
  to understand all of this. But before the harvest, when the
• 27:10
  blossom is gone and the flower becomes a ripening grape.
• 27:12
  So there's a grape harvest. If you study Scripture, you will
• 27:17
  see that there are two significant harvest that are
• 27:21
  talked about and the earlier harvest is the barley harvest
• 27:28
  and the later harvest is the grape harvest.
• 27:32
  And there has been some things that have been drawing my
• 27:35
  attention. Scripture, I should say, not
• 27:37
  things, but scripture that I've been reading that has been
• 27:39
  drawing my attention, paying attention to those things, the
• 27:43
  grain harvest versus the grape harvest.
• 27:47
  The grain harvest happens in the springtime are it's, you know,
• 27:52
  the grain starts coming up our early in the spring.
• 27:55
  So I researched that as well. OK, here's where we get into I
• 28:02
  because of the grape harvest. I'm going to kind of backtrack a
• 28:06
  little bit because I have this information that I pulled up to
• 28:10
  research from the Bible that I want to read and order.
• 28:12
  So it'd probably work out best if I just followed that and I've
• 28:17
  got a lot of tabs open right now.
• 28:19
  So I searched sickle because I know that at the grape harvest
• 28:25
  there is a sickle that comes out and it's, you know, a heavenly
• 28:29
  thing that happens. The angels are the ones who do
• 28:32
  that and the, and the grape harvest, they people are
• 28:39
  actually thrown into the winepress of wrath and it's very
• 28:46
  gruesome if you read what it says about that grape harvest.
• 28:51
  But there are multiple angels that come out.
• 28:54
  So but then there's also a grain harvest that is talked about and
• 28:59
  it also talks about how weeds or tares look just like the grain
• 29:06
  of wheat and they can't be distinguished.
• 29:09
  So that's just like representative, representative
• 29:13
  of people, people who say they're Christians, they all
• 29:17
  kind of look the same. And we're not going to know
• 29:20
  until the harvest happens because they, some of them have
• 29:24
  been sown by the enemy and they are bad seeds.
• 29:28
  They are. They are ones maybe who call
• 29:29
  themselves Christians, but they don't follow Christ.
• 29:33
  God is not their Lord and they may look like all of them.
• 29:38
  In fact some people in the name of Christianity have done
• 29:41
  horrible things in history. But were they truly Christians?
• 29:46
  No, they weren't because of what Jesus taught.
• 29:50
  A Christian means you're a follower of Christ, and if you
• 29:54
  are not peaceful and if you use it to harm other people, you are
• 30:00
  not a Christian. So Christ wasn't going out and
• 30:05
  destroying people and forcing people, forcing his beliefs on
• 30:10
  people. It's always been a choice.
• 30:12
  God has always given us a choice.
• 30:14
  So what the enemy can do is actually use the name of
• 30:17
  Christianity. I can call myself anything I
• 30:19
  want, but if I call myself something that I'm not, it
• 30:22
  doesn't mean that I am. It just means that I'm calling
• 30:25
  myself by a label that I want to be known for, but it doesn't
• 30:30
  mean it truly is what I am. And that goes for Christianity.
• 30:36
  People can say that they're Christians, but not everyone who
• 30:40
  says they're a Christian is a Christian.
• 30:43
  And that will not be known until the harvest happens.
• 30:48
  And it's interesting if this is an early harvest and if there
• 30:52
  are two different harvest, if Jesus in his metaphors was
• 31:00
  telling that, you know, when this time of gathering that the
• 31:03
  angels gather is going to be a grain harvest.
• 31:05
  If that's true, then that happens in the springtime.
• 31:10
  Now, I know all these people who watch for the, you know, who
• 31:13
  are, I guess, waiting for what is called the rapture, Jesus's
• 31:17
  gathering. And there's a lot of confusion
• 31:19
  around it. I'm not even actually certain
• 31:22
  about what it will be. I do know that it will happen,
• 31:27
  and I do know that Jesus will protect people who have prepared
• 31:31
  themselves and who have submitted to the Lord from God's
• 31:35
  wrath. I know that for sure that we
• 31:38
  will not be subject to God's wrath when we will be taken.
• 31:42
  I don't know, but there are literal events that have
• 31:47
  symbolic meaning when you pay attention to scripture.
• 31:50
  And my curiosity is looking at the grain harvest and there's
• 31:56
  some interesting things and it ties into a personal experience
• 32:00
  here and I don't even know if I should say this or not but the
• 32:03
  only reason why I will I will say it is only for preparation.
• 32:09
  So when I truly surrendered and, and decided that I wasn't going
• 32:15
  to be a hypocrite and call myself a Christian when I wasn't
• 32:17
  living it out, when I finally decided that I, the night of my
• 32:23
  baptism, I started having dreams and I've had 80 plus dreams.
• 32:29
  And for a while they were coming like a flood and they had
• 32:33
  spiritual significance. The name of Jesus was in many of
• 32:36
  them. The power in the name of Jesus
• 32:38
  was just very highlighted. I'd get scripture, all these
• 32:42
  different things started happening to me And at first I
• 32:45
  didn't, I was confused by them. But the more that they happened,
• 32:49
  the more I started seeing a connection to, to God through
• 32:54
  it. And I, you know, with the ties
• 32:57
  into Scripture and I was like verses from Scripture that I
• 33:01
  hadn't memorized were coming to mind in my dreams.
• 33:04
  And a, a verse was repeated over and over again to me.
• 33:08
  And I had, I was not into this whole rapture thing.
• 33:13
  I didn't even know about. I mean, I just heard about it,
• 33:16
  but I was not, I mean, I, that was brand new information to me
• 33:21
  when I started studying the Bible.
• 33:23
  I had never heard of it before and as I studied the Bible, I
• 33:29
  didn't ever ask for it. I know other people have asked
• 33:32
  for these things because I've searched for other people who
• 33:35
  had dreams 'cause I wanted to know like, hey, are other people
• 33:37
  having dreams like me? And I have found that there are
• 33:41
  many that have. But anyway, I had three rapture
• 33:44
  dreams and they all were very consistent.
• 33:47
  Not I mean they were different scenes, but they had a
• 33:49
  consistent message. I, I was surprised when it
• 33:53
  happened and I was in my dream saying, wow, this is real.
• 34:00
  Wow, this is real. And because I had this doubt, I
• 34:04
  guess about it. And so I had actually three
• 34:08
  dreams about that. And anyway, it's interesting
• 34:13
  that God repeats things three times in Scripture often when he
• 34:17
  wants us to pay attention to it. So whether you know, this is
• 34:23
  either I have this like super active imagination or these 80
• 34:30
  plus dreams that I've had that point me to Jesus are actually
• 34:34
  meaningful and are words of warning that anytime if God
• 34:40
  gives a message to somebody, it's not meant for their own
• 34:43
  purpose, it's for the good of others.
• 34:45
  And could the purpose be that I will speak to other people and
• 34:50
  tell them to prepare because the time is drawing near.
• 34:53
  A lot of people who are dreaming are having that same message.
• 34:56
  They're saying repent, get yourselves prepared for the
• 34:59
  return of Jesus. 1 dream that I had, which ironically was seven
• 35:06
  days after my baptism was about a wedding or an engagement party
• 35:12
  and there was a date that was on it and in the date was 12 blank,
• 35:17
  2026. And I thought it meant something
• 35:20
  different. But over time when I started
• 35:23
  having all of these like biblical dreams, I started and I
• 35:27
  started studying more than I started learning about the
• 35:30
  Galilean wedding and I started learning about Jesus's return
• 35:34
  and it's being tied to the wedding.
• 35:36
  And it was significant to me because it happened also seven
• 35:39
  days after my baptism. And is this just relevant to me?
• 35:45
  Does it mean anything more to other people?
• 35:47
  I don't know. Is this a dream that is I don't
• 35:54
  is is from God? It was or was it my own
• 35:56
  imagination? I'm only going to know when 2026
• 36:01
  ends because the other thing that I found out in doing more
• 36:04
  research was that Hebrew dates are written than are written
• 36:08
  differently than Gregorian dates.
• 36:10
  So I almost believe I, I currently believe that if this
• 36:16
  is significant that 12 is actually the day, but the month
• 36:23
  is blank and the year is 2026. Now people will say no one knows
• 36:30
  the day or the hour. And that's true.
• 36:33
  Even in my dream I wasn't given the day or the hour.
• 36:39
  I wasn't given, you know, was an unknown.
• 36:41
  There was a blank space in it. It was 12 blank 2026.
• 36:46
  I also noticed that my in my dreams, they were at first they
• 36:50
  seemed very random to me when I was having them.
• 36:53
  I was like, what's causing these dreams to happen?
• 36:55
  Why am I having these? Then I found this Dead Sea
• 37:00
  Scroll calendar that Ken Johnson has prepared and it was it was
• 37:05
  the Essenes who had created there.
• 37:08
  I had this calendar and he's put it into an electronic format.
• 37:11
  So I started cross referencing the dates of my dreams because I
• 37:14
  wrote them down in a journal and I started noticing that they
• 37:17
  were on significant Hebrew dates events and things like those
• 37:24
  were when the dreams were coming, which that is, is that's
• 37:27
  a crazy coincidence, right? So that was happening.
• 37:31
  And, and again, you know, I still don't, I mean, I, I, it,
• 37:37
  you know, God was always glorified.
• 37:39
  Jesus was always glorified. So I don't think it's the enemy
• 37:42
  trying to deceive me. However, recently we all, I
• 37:48
  mean, anybody who's looking at Bible prophecy and you know,
• 37:51
  rapture dates, which I'm not, I don't really care about the
• 37:54
  date. It's just that I had a dream in
• 37:56
  my date and, and it just created this sense of urgency in, in me
• 38:00
  to tell people really to prepare.
• 38:04
  This dream that I had was in 2021, but now we are approaching
• 38:08
  the end of 2025 and 2026 is just around the corner.
• 38:13
  So I do think it's really critical as far as timing goes.
• 38:18
  And the other thing that I always say when I tell people
• 38:21
  about this is that even if you prepare and you prepare for God,
• 38:29
  if it doesn't happen, it doesn't matter because that's still a
• 38:33
  good thing that you're doing, that we're doing, that we're
• 38:36
  prepared, and we should remain prepared even if nothing happens
• 38:41
  in 2026. But what if God gave me a
• 38:46
  warning and wanted me to prepare people?
• 38:49
  I mean, reading the book of Jeremiah, he, I think it was 23
• 38:53
  years that he was telling people to repent, to turn to God.
• 38:59
  And so why couldn't God do that again?
• 39:03
  And I'm not the only one who's having dreams, that are feeling
• 39:08
  this message from God. You can search this on YouTube,
• 39:12
  people having dreams and find many other people who are having
• 39:17
  very similar dreams. They're all talking repentance.
• 39:20
  I mean, the ones that I've seen, they all are having similar
• 39:23
  content and they're urgent, you know, telling people to get
• 39:26
  ready. So I don't, you know, it's just
• 39:29
  ironic. Is it a coincidence that all
• 39:32
  these people are also having this stuff happen right now,
• 39:35
  these kinds of dreams? You know, it is possible that
• 39:40
  there is something weird happening to people and causing
• 39:43
  people to have dreams like that. And again, won't know until 2026
• 39:49
  is over and we're in 2027. Then we'll know for sure whether
• 39:54
  these were just highly imaginative dreams, a weird
• 39:58
  coincidence, or what they were. But until then, I I just, I feel
• 40:05
  like I really need to say something because it says in the
• 40:08
  Bible to if a watchman and I never considered myself a
• 40:12
  watchman. But if if this was from God and
• 40:16
  God shared this with me and I do nothing with it and I don't
• 40:19
  prepare anyone for it and something really truly does
• 40:24
  happen. Then I'm held responsible
• 40:26
  because God gave that to me. Again, any kind of dream or
• 40:31
  anything like that or something that is truly from the Lord is
• 40:34
  not meant for that person's benefit alone.
• 40:37
  It's always meant for other people.
• 40:40
  So that's why I am doing what I'm doing right now.
• 40:44
  And again, that's why I tend to seek out this aspect of
• 40:50
  scripture to basically, you know, test the things that have
• 40:56
  happened in my life. And not only these dreams.
• 40:59
  The one thing I do need to say about the dreams that sometimes,
• 41:02
  not every single dream, but many of my dreams had an element in
• 41:07
  them that would later show up in my real life.
• 41:12
  So that's when when those things were happening.
• 41:14
  I mean, that was kind of like, if you want to call it a
• 41:17
  prophetic thing, it wasn't a message that, you know, I don't
• 41:21
  know, it wasn't a prophetic message at all, but it was like
• 41:24
  a picture I saw or a scene that I saw that all of a sudden would
• 41:28
  happen in my real life. And I, I couldn't like avoid it.
• 41:32
  Like it was just as instantaneously, as soon as I
• 41:36
  saw it later, I was like, wow, I dreamt that.
• 41:40
  So that kind of thing. There's something that happened,
• 41:46
  I don't know what it is yet, but like I said, it's, it's
• 41:51
  glorifying Jesus. So it leads me to believe that
• 41:54
  it's from God and not from the enemy.
• 41:56
  And I guess what I was starting to say earlier and got
• 41:59
  sidetracked was that there was someone who called themselves a
• 42:02
  prophet, which I'm not calling myself a prophet, but this
• 42:05
  person did. And that said that the Lord
• 42:09
  appeared to him and told him it was going to be like September
• 42:12
  23rd or 24th of 2025. Well, obviously that did not
• 42:16
  happen because we are in December of 2025 S but he really
• 42:21
  thought that he had that message from Jesus.
• 42:26
  And you know, we have to also remember that Satan can appear
• 42:31
  as an Angel of light. So that's the only thing that
• 42:35
  kind of causes me a little bit of pause in this is that, yeah,
• 42:40
  Satan can masquerade as an Angel of light.
• 42:43
  Satan can appear like something good.
• 42:47
  Now, I don't know if Satan would glorify God, would glorify the
• 42:50
  name of Jesus and emphasize the name of Jesus.
• 42:53
  But I don't know. I don't, you know, maybe he's
• 42:56
  just, I mean, that could be something very deceptive.
• 42:59
  So I truly don't know. But if I'm just going to use it
• 43:05
  for good, if people get prepared, that's a good thing.
• 43:09
  So my message is just prepare and if it doesn't happen, stay
• 43:14
  prepared because it will happen someday.
• 43:18
  So anyway, when I started looking at the, you know, the
• 43:23
  grapes in Jeremiah, the grape pickers and leaving a few
• 43:27
  grapes, maybe think about the sickle that comes out in the
• 43:31
  Book of Revelation. So it says in Revelation 14, Oh
• 43:40
  gosh, there's yeah, it's Revelation chapter 14.
• 43:43
  And I'll read the passages that talk about a sickle.
• 43:47
  I looked in there before me was a white cloud, and seated on the
• 43:50
  white cloud was one like the Son of Man.
• 43:53
  That's Jesus with a crown of gold on his head and a sharp
• 43:57
  sickle in his hand. Says that.
• 44:00
  Then another Angel came out of the temple and called in it,
• 44:03
  This is the heavenly temple, and called in a loud voice to him
• 44:06
  who was sitting on the cloud. Take your sickle and reap,
• 44:10
  because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the
• 44:14
  earth is ripe. So he who was seated on the
• 44:18
  cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was
• 44:22
  harvested. Is this Jesus's gathering of
• 44:26
  people? I don't know.
• 44:30
  Another Angel came out of the temple, and he too had a sharp
• 44:33
  sickle. Still another Angel who had
• 44:35
  charge of fire came out of the altar and called in a loud voice
• 44:39
  to him who had the sharp sickle. Take your sharp sickle and
• 44:42
  gather the clusters of grapes from the earth's spine, because
• 44:47
  it's grapes are ripe. The Angel swung his sickle on
• 44:52
  the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great
• 44:55
  winepress of God's wrath. So the the grape harvest there
• 45:02
  that people will be, the unrepentant people will go and
• 45:08
  will suffer wrath. It says, you know, like we are
• 45:11
  not appointed. Those who are in Christ are not
• 45:13
  appointed to God's wrath. So this gathering is not the
• 45:18
  gathering that believers will go through.
• 45:22
  These are people who have rejected God.
• 45:25
  Now in Deuteronomy chapter 16 verse 9, it says count off 7
• 45:29
  weeks from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing
• 45:34
  grain. So this was interesting because
• 45:39
  of the wheat and the tares or the wheat and the weeds or the
• 45:43
  grain and the weeds growing side by side and not knowing, you
• 45:46
  know, who's a real Christian and who's not.
• 45:48
  I mean, that's, that was a story that Jesus told that represented
• 45:52
  truth. And so Deuteronomy way back in
• 45:57
  the beginning of the Bible in the Old Testament, it, it told
• 46:00
  the Israeli, the Israelites that to count 7 weeks from the time
• 46:08
  you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain.
• 46:11
  So then I wondered, when did Israel put the sickle to the
• 46:15
  grain? Here's the answer.
• 46:17
  Israel put the sickle to the grain at the beginning of the
• 46:21
  barley harvest, which occurred in the spring around the time of
• 46:26
  Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
• 46:30
  This timing marked the start of the seven week count to the
• 46:34
  Feast of Weeks, also called Pentecost.
• 46:39
  So if you remember, I said that there was this Dead Sea calendar
• 46:44
  and and so I went to that Dead Sea scroll calendar.
• 46:50
  Well, there's a couple things that happened actually, but for
• 46:52
  rent for right now I'm looking at when is Passover for the
• 47:00
  Gregorian calendar. Passover is on March 31st of
• 47:04
  2026, and the the date in the Yoseen calendar is actually the
• 47:11
  14th of Nissan. So again, there's two different
• 47:17
  dates. So March 31st in the US calendar
• 47:21
  is the day of Passover, which is the 14th on the Yoseen's
• 47:25
  calendar. And then what is the day?
• 47:28
  So the beginning of the barley harvest.
• 47:30
  So when does that happen? And the Gregorian date is April
• 47:35
  12th, 2026, the first fruits of barley.
• 47:40
  OK, so pay attention to that. April 12th, 2026 is the first
• 47:45
  fruits of barley. The first fruits of barley
• 47:50
  refers to the very first ripe barley harvest, which was a
• 47:55
  sacred offering in ancient Israel.
• 47:57
  It marked the beginning of the barley harvest and was presented
• 48:01
  to the Temple as an offering of Thanksgiving for the promise of
• 48:05
  an abundant harvest to come. The ceremony of offering the
• 48:10
  barley sheaf or Omar also began the count of seven weeks or 50
• 48:16
  days until the feast of Shavuot are Pentecost.
• 48:21
  And Pentecost was when the Holy Spirit came to people, to the
• 48:23
  disciples originally. So I want just to mention that
• 48:30
  date, April 12th, 2020. Sixth, this would be the
• 48:35
  earliest date in 2026 if my dream was from God.
• 48:40
  And if the date in my dream was written in Hebraic form, then
• 48:47
  this is a possible date. And that's really interesting.
• 48:51
  You know, just because of the date that it is, because of the
• 48:55
  parable that Jesus told and is just a date to pay attention to.
• 49:01
  And I know year after year people will pay attention to
• 49:04
  like Passover time, Easter time, you know, everybody is looking
• 49:10
  at that. It's just a date.
• 49:14
  And I, I only say this because that date is right around the
• 49:17
  corner. We're in December, so we have
• 49:20
  January, February, March and then April we, we have like 4
• 49:25
  months. Like what if and Jesus came back
• 49:28
  in four months? Would you be prepared?
• 49:31
  Would you be ready? And that's why I'm, I'm saying
• 49:35
  this because I think people do need to be prepared.
• 49:39
  Now this, this whole, OK, this barley harvest is saying it's
• 49:45
  the promise of an abundant harvest to come now, Yeah, it
• 49:50
  means like the barley harvest, you know, would be, you know,
• 49:53
  more to come. But what if that's also
• 49:55
  significant of the grape harvest later?
• 49:58
  It's another harvest, Like there's another harvest.
• 50:00
  And what if there are two harvests that happen?
• 50:06
  I don't know. Again, we just need to keep our
• 50:10
  eyes open. We need to stay in Scripture and
• 50:13
  we need to most importantly, be prepared and prepare others to,
• 50:21
  you know, to make God when I say be prepared, we need to submit
• 50:25
  to God. Let God guide our life.
• 50:27
  We we need the Holy Spirit. We need if we don't have the
• 50:32
  Holy Spirit, Well, you can find out if you have the Holy Spirit.
• 50:36
  You'll know if you have the Holy Spirit.
• 50:38
  But if you wonder what it's like to have the Holy Spirit read
• 50:40
  Galatians chapter 5 because it talks about people who are
• 50:44
  worldly versus people who have the Spirit because there is what
• 50:48
  they call fruit of the Spirit, which is people will start to
• 50:53
  change to be more like Jesus through the Holy Spirit like the
• 50:58
  the attributes or the character of the Holy Spirit will be seen
• 51:00
  in people. So anyone who has the Holy
• 51:03
  Spirit will change. They can't avoid it because God
• 51:08
  is holy and he wants us to be holy.
• 51:10
  So there's no way to avoid becoming holy if you have the
• 51:13
  Holy Spirit. So that's a good, good way to
• 51:17
  know. So in May of 2024, as I was
• 51:25
  checking out people who had dreams and seeing are my dreams
• 51:29
  like other people's dreams, I noticed there were many people
• 51:33
  who had dreams of two moons. And, and I just, I mean, many
• 51:37
  people did, several people did. And there was like some talk
• 51:41
  about that and and these people were seemed to be godly people.
• 51:46
  So but I thought I was like, there's nothing in about two
• 51:49
  moons in the Bible. And and so I just, you know, I
• 51:52
  was like, but they do seem like godly people and what are they
• 51:55
  coming up with? And then I was studying
• 51:59
  scripture and I was studying Exodus 10.
• 52:02
  This happened in May. I have the date was May 13th of
• 52:06
  2024. While studying Exodus 10, I
• 52:12
  recognized 2 moons potentially. So two blood moons are lunar
• 52:20
  eclipse in 2025. So there's, you know, supposedly
• 52:23
  there's signs in the sky. I don't want to read too much
• 52:25
  into this, but I just think, again, this is a really wild
• 52:29
  coincidence. So people were having dreams.
• 52:32
  I didn't have a dream about two moons, but there were, there
• 52:37
  were two blood moons that occurred in 2025.
• 52:41
  And the significance about these dreams is that people had these
• 52:45
  dreams that these two moons were appearing before Jesus came or
• 52:48
  something. And so those happened in 2025.
• 52:53
  The first one was on March 14th, 2025.
• 52:56
  And this is really interesting because it was on the feast of
• 52:58
  Purim. Look up what Purim is.
• 53:01
  Purim Purim I guess. And then the second lunar
• 53:08
  eclipse was on September 7th, 2025, and that happened.
• 53:14
  I think that's the first fruits of new oil according to the Dead
• 53:17
  Sea Scrolls calendar. And that's kind of interesting
• 53:19
  because oil is an anointing. So and, and Purim has a lot of
• 53:25
  Purim has a lot of significance symbolic to the return of Jesus.
• 53:32
  Also, there's a lot of stuff in there that I saw that was
• 53:36
  symbolic, the story of Esther. That's basically what it is.
• 53:40
  And if you want to read that, I don't, I don't want to make this
• 53:44
  podcast much longer than it's, I know it already will be.
• 53:47
  So I'm not going to go into that.
• 53:48
  But Purim is a significant Jewish date.
• 53:52
  And it's interesting that that's when a blood moon occurred.
• 53:55
  Now there's always, there's blood moons every year.
• 53:58
  So the Bible does say, and I'll get in, I'll get into the
• 54:01
  Scripture about the Bible too in regards to that.
• 54:05
  So two blood moons happened in 2025 on significance feast days
• 54:10
  of the Lord. Then I looked in 2026.
• 54:12
  What's going to happen then? Well, there's one blood moon and
• 54:17
  one solar. So there aren't two blood moons.
• 54:19
  But if the moons turn to blood before the day of the coming of
• 54:24
  the Lord, which the Scripture says there were two of them in
• 54:26
  2025, is that a warning that the soon arrival will be here?
• 54:32
  There is another blood moon that's going to occur on March
• 54:37
  3rd, 2026. That's Purim again.
• 54:42
  Isn't that significant? Is that a coincidence?
• 54:46
  Then what I noticed was April 12th, 2020.
• 54:51
  Sixth, the Feast of First Fruits.
• 54:53
  According to the Dead Sea Scroll calendar, it's on the 12th.
• 54:57
  I was remembering my dream with the date of 12 blank, 2026.
• 55:02
  And again, if it's written in Hebrew form, that would mean
• 55:05
  that 12 would be the day, the month would be blank, and the
• 55:08
  year would be 2026. So that's something to be
• 55:13
  watchful for. You know, will something happen
• 55:17
  this early? If that's only four months away,
• 55:19
  we don't have much time to prepare.
• 55:22
  OK. Then there is a solar eclipse,
• 55:26
  and that is on August 12th. Another day #12 in 2026.
• 55:35
  And then here's something else that's significant, you know,
• 55:37
  And then there's going to be signs in the sky and all this.
• 55:39
  There is a Perseid meteor shower on the same day.
• 55:45
  And this also happens to be a new moon on the same date.
• 55:49
  So the solar eclipse, a new moon, and a Perseid meteor
• 55:53
  shower are all happening on August 12th, 2026.
• 55:58
  Again, thinking about my dream, the 12th if it was 12th blank
• 56:03
  2026. August is another month to just,
• 56:08
  you know, look at you know, if it if it doesn't happen and then
• 56:11
  the next holiday is September 12th, 2026.
• 56:16
  This is the date that I always thought it was because Rosh
• 56:21
  Hashanah, feast of trumpets, the day of the Lord's return.
• 56:25
  There's a lot of, you know, talk about that being the day of the
• 56:30
  Lord. So as far as I'm concerned, I'm,
• 56:35
  I am going to pay attention to April 12th, August 12th and
• 56:39
  September 12th and 2026 only because I had a dream and
• 56:44
  because of what scripture says and because there's signs in the
• 56:48
  sky and because they are feast days.
• 56:51
  So there's lots of reasons and they could all be coincidences,
• 56:55
  but I don't know. So I'm just going to watch is
• 56:59
  all and be prepared and suggest to others that you know, if
• 57:03
  you're wise, you would prepare because it'll always be good for
• 57:06
  you to prepare. Meaning let God guide you, go in
• 57:11
  repentance to God, ask for the Holy Spirit.
• 57:15
  So coincidence, 2 blood moons each on the day of Purim, one in
• 57:19
  2025 and one in 2026. That's kind of weird
• 57:22
  coincidence. I'm going to read scripture that
• 57:25
  supports some of these things that I've just found.
• 57:29
  But in those days following that distress, the sun will be
• 57:32
  darkened and the moon will not give its light.
• 57:35
  The stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies
• 57:39
  will be shaken. At that time, people will see
• 57:43
  the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and
• 57:47
  glory, and he will send his angels and gather his elect from
• 57:52
  the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the
• 57:57
  heavens. That's in Mark chapter 13,
• 58:00
  verses 24 through 27. The stars of heaven and their
• 58:05
  constellations will not show their light.
• 58:08
  The rising sun will be darkened, an eclipse, and the moon will
• 58:12
  not give its light an eclipse. Isaiah 1310.
• 58:17
  Then Matthew 24, verses 29 through 31, immediately after
• 58:21
  the distress of those days, the sun will be darkened and the
• 58:24
  moon will not give its light. The stars will fall from the
• 58:27
  sky. That's another thing about the
• 58:28
  person shower which kind of makes me think about that.
• 58:31
  And the heavenly bodies will be shaken.
• 58:34
  Now the stars falling from the sky could also mean in the Book
• 58:36
  of Revelation where the angels are, the fallen angels, you
• 58:40
  know, come down to the earth, and that would be somewhere in
• 58:43
  the midpoint of the tribulation. So again, I am uncertain about
• 58:49
  all these things, but the Scripture does support these
• 58:53
  events happening. So it continues.
• 58:55
  The heavenly bodies will be shaken, then will appear the
• 58:58
  sign of the Son of man in heaven.
• 59:00
  So again, Jesus is returning right after these signs in the
• 59:03
  skies, and then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when
• 59:07
  they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with
• 59:10
  power and great glory. He will send his angels with a
• 59:13
  loud trumpet call and they will gather His elect from the four
• 59:16
  winds from one end of the heavens to the other.
• 59:20
  In Joel chapter 3, verses 15 through 16, the sun and the moon
• 59:24
  will be darkened. OK, that's eclipse and the stars
• 59:27
  will no longer shine. So that could be the angels in
• 59:30
  heaven no longer shining or it could be the stars or the person
• 59:32
  shower. Are they symbolic or you know,
• 59:36
  metaphoric or coincidence? But a lot of times God has
• 59:39
  literal events that have some symbolic meaning.
• 59:44
  OK, the Lord will roar from Zion and Thunder from Jerusalem.
• 59:48
  The heavens and the earth will tremble.
• 59:51
  But the Lord will be a refuge for His people, a stronghold for
• 59:56
  the people of Israel. So the Lord will roar from Zion,
• 1:00:00
  that's Jerusalem, Thunder from Jerusalem, and the earth and
• 1:00:04
  heavens will tremble. God said He's going to send one
• 1:00:07
  more trembling. This is the return of Jesus.
• 1:00:10
  In Joel chapter 2 verse 10, before them, the earth shakes,
• 1:00:14
  the heavens tremble, the sun and moon are darkened, and the stars
• 1:00:19
  no longer shine. All those signs, you know, just
• 1:00:24
  pay attention. Joel chapter 2 verse 31, the sun
• 1:00:28
  will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the
• 1:00:32
  coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord in Acts chapter
• 1:00:38
  2. This is really Paul.
• 1:00:39
  I think we are somewhat Luke, I guess he wrote Acts.
• 1:00:44
  The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood
• 1:00:47
  before the coming of the great and glorious day.
• 1:00:49
  So that was a repetition from Joel.
• 1:00:52
  Isaiah 13 verse 10 The stars of heaven and their constellations
• 1:00:56
  will not show their light. The rising sun will be darkened
• 1:01:00
  and the moon will not give its light eclipses.
• 1:01:03
  You know, that really is the IT seems like that's what it is.
• 1:01:09
  Luke chapter 21 verses 25 through 28.
• 1:01:12
  There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars on the earth.
• 1:01:16
  Nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and
• 1:01:22
  the tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror,
• 1:01:26
  apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly
• 1:01:31
  bodies will be shaken. Now that sounds to me like the
• 1:01:35
  midpoint where the rebellious angels are thrown down to earth,
• 1:01:40
  but that's my opinion. OK, At that time they will see
• 1:01:46
  the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
• 1:01:50
  When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your
• 1:01:55
  heads because your redemption is drawing near.
• 1:01:58
  That's from Luke and then Revelation chapter 6 verse 12.
• 1:02:03
  I watched as he opened the 6th seal.
• 1:02:07
  There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like
• 1:02:13
  sackcloth made of goat hair. The whole moon turned blood red.
• 1:02:20
  Revelation 6 verse 12. Now new moons when they happened
• 1:02:26
  in the sounds of the trumpets also at the times of rejoicing
• 1:02:30
  your appointed festival and new moon feast, you are to sound the
• 1:02:34
  trumpets over your burnt offerings and fellowship
• 1:02:37
  offerings, and they will be a memorial to you before your God.
• 1:02:42
  I am the Lord your God. That's from Numbers chapter 10,
• 1:02:46
  verse 10. So a trumpet gets sounded at a
• 1:02:49
  new moon festival again. I'm going to go back to the date
• 1:02:54
  of the new moon in 2026. That's August 12th, 2026.
• 1:03:00
  And also when that person meteor shower happens.
• 1:03:03
  So are these coincidences? They very well could be, but
• 1:03:10
  should we pay attention? OK, then it says sound the
• 1:03:13
  rant's horn at the new moon and when the moon is full on the day
• 1:03:20
  of the festival. This is a decree for Israel, an
• 1:03:23
  ordinance of the God of Jacob. When God went out against Egypt,
• 1:03:28
  He established it as a statute for Joseph.
• 1:03:33
  I heard an unknown voice say, and that's written in Psalms 81
• 1:03:37
  verses 3 through 5 S. All of those scriptures I think
• 1:03:42
  are relevant. I mean, I don't want to be a
• 1:03:45
  date setter, which I just have done.
• 1:03:48
  But I'm also saying that I'm not saying that it is this date.
• 1:03:53
  I'm saying I had a dream. And through the process of
• 1:03:56
  studying and looking into this, I've seen several possibilities.
• 1:04:02
  But I also want to say that none of these could be possible.
• 1:04:06
  I mean, none of these may be it, so we don't know.
• 1:04:11
  But the point is we should be watchful.
• 1:04:13
  We should be prepared because if it does come like a thief in the
• 1:04:17
  night, at least you've been warned and you can be prepared
• 1:04:21
  in advance. So then when I was talking about
• 1:04:26
  Jesus talking about these, the weeds growing together in
• 1:04:31
  Matthew 13 verse 30, he says let both grow together until the
• 1:04:36
  harvest. At that time I will tell the
• 1:04:39
  harvesters first collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to
• 1:04:44
  be burned, then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.
• 1:04:50
  So that is bringing into the barn.
• 1:04:55
  That's like Jesus protecting those who are prepared.
• 1:04:59
  And then in in verse 36, he starts to explain this.
• 1:05:06
  Then he left the crowd and went into the house.
• 1:05:08
  His disciples came to him and said, explain to us the parable
• 1:05:11
  of the weeds in the field. He answered, the one who sowed
• 1:05:15
  the good seed is the Son of man. This is the word of God from
• 1:05:20
  Jesus. The field is the world, and the
• 1:05:23
  good seed stands for the people of the Kingdom.
• 1:05:27
  The weeds are the people of the evil 1 and the enemy who sows
• 1:05:32
  them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the
• 1:05:37
  age and the harvesters are angels.
• 1:05:42
  So does this this really like supports an April time frame?
• 1:05:46
  Because this is, I don't know, like this is shocking me right
• 1:05:49
  now as I'm reading this because I forgot these details.
• 1:05:53
  But here's what it continues to say as the weeds are pulled up
• 1:05:58
  and burned in the fire. So it will be at the end of the
• 1:06:03
  age. The Son of Man will send out his
• 1:06:06
  angels and they will weed out his Kingdom, everything that
• 1:06:11
  causes sin. And all who do evil, they will
• 1:06:15
  throw them into the blazing furnace where there will be
• 1:06:18
  weeping and gnashing of the teeth.
• 1:06:20
  Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of
• 1:06:23
  their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.
• 1:06:28
  I I don't, I don't know. I mean, this is just really wild
• 1:06:31
  and it and I keep praying about this to God, saying God, is this
• 1:06:34
  significant? Is this true?
• 1:06:36
  Is this am I being deceived? Is this real?
• 1:06:39
  Is this really happening this soon?
• 1:06:42
  And I, I don't get anything that tells me no.
• 1:06:46
  And sometimes often almost every time it I I get some other
• 1:06:54
  information about end time. So either I'm being heavily
• 1:06:58
  manipulated or it's really coming.
• 1:07:02
  And, and so I don't know, we'll only find out in the end.
• 1:07:06
  And I, I'm just trying to be as straightforward with you as
• 1:07:12
  possible because I don't want to deceive anyone and I don't want
• 1:07:16
  to say anything that's untrue. I I'm just sharing with you what
• 1:07:20
  has happened to me and how I'm interpreting it.
• 1:07:24
  And it's up to you to decide how you want to respond to it.
• 1:07:28
  But I always think it's good to prepare to meet the Lord,
• 1:07:34
  because we never know what the next moment will bring us.
• 1:07:40
  So then in Matthew 24, verse 31. And He will send His angels with
• 1:07:45
  a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the
• 1:07:48
  four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
• 1:07:54
  Now it does. I'll read about the day and the
• 1:07:57
  hour unknown but about that day or hour.
• 1:07:59
  This is in Matthew 24, verse 36. But about that day or hour no
• 1:08:05
  one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only
• 1:08:09
  the Father. As it was in the days of Noah,
• 1:08:14
  so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
• 1:08:18
  For in the days before the flood, people were eating and
• 1:08:22
  drinking, marrying and giving in marriage up to the day Noah
• 1:08:28
  entered the ark. So life was kind of normal.
• 1:08:32
  They knew nothing about what would happen until the flood
• 1:08:34
  came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the
• 1:08:39
  coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in a field, one
• 1:08:43
  will be taken and the other left.
• 1:08:44
  Two women will be grinding with a hand mill, one will be taken
• 1:08:48
  and the other left. Therefore keep watch, because
• 1:08:52
  you do not know what day your Lord will come.
• 1:08:56
  But understand this, if the owner of the house had known at
• 1:09:00
  what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept
• 1:09:03
  watch and would not have let his house be broken into.
• 1:09:08
  So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come
• 1:09:13
  at an hour when you do not expect him.
• 1:09:17
  So I think that's words that we need to live by.
• 1:09:22
  OK, let's get back to Jeremiah chapter 49.
• 1:09:27
  We talked about the thief during the during the night.
• 1:09:31
  So verse 10. But I will strip Esau bare.
• 1:09:36
  I will uncover his hiding places so that he cannot conceal
• 1:09:39
  himself. His armed men are destroyed,
• 1:09:42
  also his allies and neighbors. So there is no one to say, leave
• 1:09:48
  your fatherless children, I will keep them alive.
• 1:09:51
  Your widows too can depend on me.
• 1:09:55
  This is what the Lord says. If those who do not deserve to
• 1:10:01
  drink the cup must drink it, why should you go unpunished?
• 1:10:06
  You will not go unpunished, but you must drink it.
• 1:10:10
  I swear by myself now. This is God saying this declares
• 1:10:15
  the Lord that Basra will become a rune and a curse.
• 1:10:21
  So again, this is where I think this chapter is about the
• 1:10:25
  future. Also, because Basra exists
• 1:10:28
  today, and it says Basra will become a rune and a curse, an
• 1:10:33
  object of horror and reproach, and all its towns will be in
• 1:10:38
  ruins forever. Well, that obviously hasn't
• 1:10:42
  happened yet because it's exists today and there's even more that
• 1:10:50
  ties Jesus to Basra. So again, like I said, there's
• 1:10:55
  pretty good evidence, I think, that this has a double
• 1:10:58
  fulfillment. Some of it was fulfilled earlier
• 1:11:01
  and some of it remains to be filled so it continues.
• 1:11:06
  Verse 14. I have heard a message from the
• 1:11:09
  Lord. An envoy was sent to the nations
• 1:11:12
  to say assemble yourself. Oh wait, I wanted to read about
• 1:11:15
  Basra before I get too far so you can do this too.
• 1:11:20
  Search Basra. It occurs 8 times in eight
• 1:11:23
  verses in the NIV. So just as a place in Genesis
• 1:11:28
  it's talked about someone being from Basra, and in First
• 1:11:32
  Chronicles it talks about someone being from Basra.
• 1:11:34
  Then in Isaiah the prophet chapter 34 verse 6, listen to
• 1:11:39
  this. The sword of the Lord is bathed
• 1:11:43
  in blood. It is covered with fat, the
• 1:11:47
  blood of lambs and goats, fat from the kidneys of Rams.
• 1:11:52
  For the Lord has a sacrifice in Basra and a great slaughter in
• 1:11:58
  the land of Edom. So this is God, the sword of the
• 1:12:04
  Lord, bathed in blood. And there's a great sacrifice in
• 1:12:08
  Basra in Isaiah chapter 63, verse one.
• 1:12:13
  Who is this coming from? Edom from Basra with his
• 1:12:18
  garments stained Crimson, Who is this?
• 1:12:22
  Robed in splendor, striding forward in the greatness of his
• 1:12:28
  strength. It is I, claiming victory,
• 1:12:33
  mighty to save. So who is that?
• 1:12:36
  That is Jesus. Now listen to this.
• 1:12:40
  I got to read more Isaiah 63. Why are your garments red like
• 1:12:46
  those of 1 treading the winepress?
• 1:12:49
  Remember in Revelation that the what the winepress is tread by
• 1:12:54
  Jesus. Those are the unrepentant, the
• 1:12:58
  grape harvest. I have trodden the winepress
• 1:13:01
  alone from the nation's. No one was with me.
• 1:13:06
  I trampled them in my anger and trod them down in my wrath.
• 1:13:11
  Their blood splattered my guard, spattered my garments, and I
• 1:13:15
  stained all my clothing. It was for me the day of
• 1:13:21
  vengeance. The year for me to redeem had
• 1:13:26
  come. This is Jesus.
• 1:13:28
  I looked, but there was no one to help.
• 1:13:30
  I was appalled that no one gave support.
• 1:13:32
  So my own arm achieved salvation for me and my own wrath
• 1:13:38
  sustained me. I trampled the nations in my
• 1:13:42
  anger. In my wrath.
• 1:13:43
  I made them drunk and poured their blood on the ground.
• 1:13:51
  There is more to the oh gosh, this is there's more to it.
• 1:13:55
  I think I just need to read this whole thing in chapter praise
• 1:13:58
  and prayer, I will tell of the kindnesses of the Lord, the
• 1:14:02
  deeds for which he is to be praised according to all the
• 1:14:06
  Lord has done for us. Yes, the many good things he has
• 1:14:08
  done for Israel according to his compassion and many kindnesses.
• 1:14:13
  He said, surely they are my people, children who will be
• 1:14:17
  true to me. And so he became their Savior.
• 1:14:23
  Jesus is the Savior. Jesus died on the cross.
• 1:14:25
  He atoned for all the sins of everyone.
• 1:14:30
  Verse 9. In all their distress, He too
• 1:14:33
  was distressed. And the Angel of his presence
• 1:14:36
  saved them. In his love and mercy He
• 1:14:40
  redeemed them. He lifted them up and carried
• 1:14:45
  them all the days of old, yet they rebelled and grieved His
• 1:14:51
  Holy Spirit. So He turned and became their
• 1:14:55
  enemy, and He himself fought against them.
• 1:14:59
  Then His people recalled the days of old, the days of Moses
• 1:15:04
  and His people. Where is He who brought them
• 1:15:06
  through the sea with the Shepherd of His flock?
• 1:15:09
  Where is He who set His Holy Spirit among them?
• 1:15:14
  Jesus is the one who gives us the Holy Spirit.
• 1:15:16
  Where is he who said his Holy Spirit among them?
• 1:15:19
  Who sent his glorious arm of power to be at Moses's right
• 1:15:24
  hand? Who divided the waters before
• 1:15:26
  them to gain for himself everlasting renown?
• 1:15:31
  That's what God wants to be known who led them through the
• 1:15:35
  depths like a horse in an open country.
• 1:15:37
  They did not stumble like cattle that go down to the plain.
• 1:15:40
  They were given rest by the Spirit of the Lord.
• 1:15:44
  This is how you guided your people to make yourself a
• 1:15:47
  glorious name. Look down from heaven and see
• 1:15:50
  from your lofty throne, holy and glorious.
• 1:15:53
  Where are your zeal and your might?
• 1:15:54
  Your tenderness and your compassion are withheld from us,
• 1:15:58
  but you are our Father through though Abraham does not know us
• 1:16:03
  or Israel, acknowledge us. You, Lord, are our Father, Our
• 1:16:08
  Redeemer from old is your name. Why, Lord, do you make us wander
• 1:16:14
  from your ways and harden our hearts so we do not Revere you?
• 1:16:17
  Return for the sake of your servants, the tribes that are
• 1:16:20
  your inheritance. For a little while your people
• 1:16:23
  possessed your holy place, but now our enemies have trampled
• 1:16:26
  down your sanctuary. We are yours from old, but you
• 1:16:30
  have not ruled over them. They have not been called by
• 1:16:33
  your name, and that's the end of chapter 63 of Isaiah, the
• 1:16:37
  prophet who wrote this in the BC Times.
• 1:16:40
  But it's talking clearly about Jesus.
• 1:16:46
  Then Obadiah's visions, he talks about the thief and the robbers
• 1:16:51
  and the grape pickers. Obadiah 15 If thieves came to
• 1:16:56
  you, if robbers in the night, oh, what a disaster awaits you,
• 1:16:59
  would they not steal only as much as they wanted?
• 1:17:01
  If grape pickers came to you, would they not leave a few
• 1:17:04
  grapes? So Obadiah says the same thing
• 1:17:08
  about that Jeremiah is saying. And again, I think it's about
• 1:17:15
  the the end times. So going back into the book of
• 1:17:20
  Jeremiah and I'm going to start with verse 14, restart.
• 1:17:25
  I have heard a message from the Lord.
• 1:17:27
  An envoy was sent to the nations to say assemble yourselves to
• 1:17:30
  attack it. Rise up for battle.
• 1:17:32
  Now I will make you small among the nations despised by mankind.
• 1:17:37
  The terror you inspire and the pride of your heart have
• 1:17:42
  deceived you. So people who are spawning
• 1:17:46
  terror are deceived people. The Bible is clear about this.
• 1:17:51
  You who live in clefts of the rock, again, this is that.
• 1:17:54
  You know the people living in the clefts of the rock, they're
• 1:17:57
  looking for their shelter there, who occupy the high heights of
• 1:18:01
  the hill. Though you build your nest as
• 1:18:04
  high as the eagles. From there I will bring you
• 1:18:07
  down, declares the Lord. Edom will become like an object
• 1:18:11
  of horror. All who pass by will be appalled
• 1:18:13
  and will scoff because of all its wounds.
• 1:18:16
  As Sodom and Gomorrah were overthrown along with their
• 1:18:18
  neighboring towns, says the Lord, no one will live there, no
• 1:18:24
  people will dwell in it. Now, Edom, southwestern Edom,
• 1:18:29
  this area that's being talked about, apparently no one's going
• 1:18:33
  to live there. No people will dwell in it.
• 1:18:35
  Basra's still there. So I think this is future.
• 1:18:39
  And remember, Edom are the descendants of Esau who gave up
• 1:18:44
  his birthright, who didn't care. So these are the people who
• 1:18:47
  don't care, don't turn to God, and nobody's going to live in
• 1:18:51
  this area. Like a lion coming up from
• 1:18:55
  Jordan's thickets to a rich pasture land, I will chase Edom
• 1:18:58
  from its land in an instant. Who is the chosen one I will
• 1:19:03
  appoint for this? Who is like me and who can
• 1:19:06
  challenge me? And what shepherd can stand
• 1:19:08
  against me? Therefore, hear what the Lord
• 1:19:12
  has planned against Edom, what He has purposed against those
• 1:19:17
  who live in Teemon. Those are in Yemen.
• 1:19:19
  So this is about Yemen too, and the young of the flock will be
• 1:19:25
  dragged away. Their pasture will be appalled
• 1:19:28
  at their fate. At the sound of their fall, the
• 1:19:30
  earth will tremble. Could be an earthquake.
• 1:19:34
  Their cry will resound to the Red Sea.
• 1:19:37
  Look, an eagle will sword down and will soar and swoop down,
• 1:19:42
  spreading its wings over Basra in that day, again, like the day
• 1:19:48
  of the Lord, the hearts of Edom's warriors will be like the
• 1:19:51
  heart of a woman in labor. That's another thing.
• 1:19:54
  Woman in labor is mentioned many times in regards to the end
• 1:19:59
  times and I actually searched that too so.
• 1:20:04
  I will let's see this. There's a few more things that I
• 1:20:07
  had searched woman in labor it is there's 14 exact phrases and
• 1:20:15
  it's in Psalms. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Micah, all of
• 1:20:21
  them prophecies. I guess Psalms is sometimes
• 1:20:24
  prophecy and sometimes not. But in Psalm 4048 verse 6 it
• 1:20:29
  says trembling sees them there pain like that of a woman in
• 1:20:34
  labor. I'm not real familiar with this
• 1:20:38
  one but this is It's pretty short so I'll read it.
• 1:20:43
  It says great is the great is the Lord, and most worthy of
• 1:20:47
  praise in the city of our God, His holy mountain.
• 1:20:50
  Beautiful is his loftiness, The joy of the whole earth, like the
• 1:20:53
  heights of Zephron is Mount Zion, the city of the great
• 1:20:56
  King. God is in her citadels.
• 1:20:59
  He has shown himself to be her fortress.
• 1:21:02
  When kings joined forces together, when they advanced
• 1:21:06
  together, they saw her and were astounded.
• 1:21:09
  They fled in terror. Trembling seized them there,
• 1:21:12
  pain like that of a woman in labor.
• 1:21:15
  You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish shattered by an E wind,
• 1:21:21
  as we have heard, we have seen in the city of the Lord
• 1:21:23
  Almighty, in the city of our God.
• 1:21:25
  God makes her secure for ever. This definitely sounds like the
• 1:21:30
  return of Jesus within your temple.
• 1:21:32
  Oh God, we meditate on your unfailing love.
• 1:21:35
  Like your name, Oh God, we pray. Your praise reaches to the ends
• 1:21:39
  of the earth. Your right hand is filled with
• 1:21:42
  righteousness. Mount Zion rejoices.
• 1:21:44
  The villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments.
• 1:21:48
  Walk, walk about Zion, go around her, count her towers, consider
• 1:21:53
  her ramparts, view her citadels, that you may tell of them to the
• 1:21:58
  next generation. For this God is our God, forever
• 1:22:02
  and ever. He will be our guide, even to
• 1:22:06
  the end. That seems to be very prophetic
• 1:22:10
  in my opinion. And again, when we talk about
• 1:22:14
  the prophets, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Micah, this is, you know, all
• 1:22:23
  about, like ryth and agony, daughters, I am like a woman in
• 1:22:26
  labor. For now you must leave the city
• 1:22:27
  to camp in the open field. You must go to Babylon.
• 1:22:30
  There you will be rescued. There the Lord will redeem you
• 1:22:33
  out of the hand of your enemies. That's in Micah.
• 1:22:36
  Why do you cry aloud? Have you no king?
• 1:22:39
  Has your ruler perished? The pain seizes you like that of
• 1:22:42
  a woman in labor. That's in Micah chapter 4, the
• 1:22:48
  king of Babylon. So reports about them and his
• 1:22:50
  hands hang limp. That's another thing.
• 1:22:52
  Hanging limp. Hands hanging limp is also
• 1:22:55
  something that talk that is descriptive of the end times
• 1:22:59
  anguish has gripped him. Pain like that of a woman in
• 1:23:02
  labor Damascus. I mean that it certainly applies
• 1:23:06
  to a time of judgement, whether or not there is, you know, a
• 1:23:12
  double fulfilled prophecy where this was Babylon's capture.
• 1:23:15
  But also the end. Also it, it could very well have
• 1:23:20
  both meanings to it. But if you search that yourself,
• 1:23:25
  you'll see what I mean. I won't read any more of those.
• 1:23:28
  And then the day of the Lord is the same.
• 1:23:30
  I mean, it's written about in Isaiah, in Ezekiel and Joel and
• 1:23:35
  Amos and Obadiah, in Zephaniah, and those are all the prophets.
• 1:23:41
  So they talk about future prophecy, the day of the Lord,
• 1:23:44
  and about judgment. And when Jesus returns, that's
• 1:23:47
  recurring. If you just search day of the
• 1:23:49
  Lord, you will see. I won't read through all of
• 1:23:51
  that. I will read some of the things
• 1:23:53
  from the New Testament that talks about the day of the Lord
• 1:23:57
  that Paul wrote. First Corinthians chapter 5,
• 1:24:00
  verse five. Hand this man over to Satan for
• 1:24:02
  the destruction of the flesh so that his spirit spirit may be
• 1:24:06
  saved on the day of the Lord. So God disciplines people when
• 1:24:11
  they are rebellious. And this is talking about, you
• 1:24:16
  know, sometimes the flesh needs to be destroyed so that the
• 1:24:19
  spirit can be saved. Sometimes we are brought to our
• 1:24:22
  lowest point before we actually turn to God and repent.
• 1:24:26
  But this is also so he may be saved on the day of the Lord, so
• 1:24:30
  his Spirit may be saved. As you have understood us in
• 1:24:34
  part, you will come to understand fully that you can
• 1:24:37
  boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of the
• 1:24:41
  Lord Jesus. That that day.
• 1:24:43
  You know, Paul's talking about the day that Jesus comes to
• 1:24:45
  reign on the earth as King. And then First Thessalonians 5
• 1:24:50
  we read before. But for you know very well that
• 1:24:53
  the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
• 1:24:57
  So again, that's an association to the thief. 2nd Thessalonians
• 1:25:03
  2 Two, do not become easily unsettled or alarmed by the
• 1:25:06
  teaching allegedly from us, whether by prophecy or by word
• 1:25:09
  of mouth or by letter, asserting that the day of the Lord has
• 1:25:12
  already come. So there were people that were
• 1:25:14
  saying this already happened, but it didn't.
• 1:25:16
  And so that's what Paul was basically saying.
• 1:25:19
  Second Peter 3 verse 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a
• 1:25:23
  thief. The heavens will disappear with
• 1:25:26
  a roar, the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth
• 1:25:30
  and everything done in it will be laid bare.
• 1:25:33
  There's going to be like complete destruction following
• 1:25:38
  the return of Jesus. But Jesus does gather those
• 1:25:42
  people who are prepared. So we have a choice now.
• 1:25:45
  Do we want to prepare ourselves for when that day comes, or do
• 1:25:49
  we want to risk it and go through the wrath of God?
• 1:25:55
  OK, then let's see where there's another part of Scripture.
• 1:26:01
  I don't know if I got to it yet. I think, OK, that's coming up.
• 1:26:05
  So there's a message about Damascus next.
• 1:26:08
  Concerning Damascus, Hammett and Arpad are dismayed, for they
• 1:26:12
  have heard bad news. They are disheartened, troubled.
• 1:26:16
  Like the Restless Sea, Damascus has become feeble.
• 1:26:19
  She has turned to flea and panic has gripped her.
• 1:26:24
  Anguish and pain have seized her, just like that of a woman
• 1:26:29
  in labor. So this is is this is to me
• 1:26:32
  indicating this is potentially the end times, the end of the
• 1:26:36
  age where Damascus is going to have something come about it.
• 1:26:40
  It still exists today. Why has the city of Renown not
• 1:26:44
  been abandoned? The town in which I delight?
• 1:26:47
  Surely her young men will fall in the streets.
• 1:26:50
  All her soldiers will be silenced in that day.
• 1:26:54
  Remember the day of the Lord, declares the Lord Almighty.
• 1:26:57
  I will set fires, fire to the walls of Damascus.
• 1:27:02
  It will consume the fortresses of Ben Hadid.
• 1:27:05
  Now if we look at Isaiah 17, we will see that this is a future
• 1:27:12
  event because there is a prophecy against Damascus in
• 1:27:17
  verse one. See, Damascus will no longer be
• 1:27:21
  a city but will become a heap of rooms and then it goes on.
• 1:27:26
  I'm not going to read everything, but it's still a
• 1:27:29
  city today. So this is future.
• 1:27:34
  Then we have a message about Kadar and Hazor.
• 1:27:37
  So Kadar is eastern Syria and I also wrote Jordan, so it's kind
• 1:27:44
  of like maybe it overlaps a couple territories and Hazar is
• 1:27:48
  in Israel concerning this eastern Syria and Jordan and
• 1:27:52
  Israel and the kingdoms of Hazar, which Nebuchadnezzar,
• 1:27:55
  king of Babylon attacked. This is what the Lord says,
• 1:27:58
  arise and attack Kedar South or east Syria and part of Jordan
• 1:28:05
  and destroy the people of the east.
• 1:28:08
  So now we're seeing like the people of the east or I guess is
• 1:28:10
  that the east of the Dead Sea? That would be the the territory
• 1:28:14
  of Jordan currently. Their tents and their flocks
• 1:28:18
  will be taken. Their shelters will be carried
• 1:28:21
  off with all their goods and camels.
• 1:28:23
  People will shout to them. Terror on every side.
• 1:28:28
  Flee quickly. Stay in deep caves, you who live
• 1:28:33
  in Hazor. So again, I think this is really
• 1:28:36
  the a double fulfilled prophecy because this part did occur.
• 1:28:40
  Stay in deep caves you who live in Hazor, because people don't
• 1:28:43
  live there anymore, declares the Lord.
• 1:28:45
  Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon has plotted against you.
• 1:28:49
  He has devised a plan against you.
• 1:28:51
  Arise and attack a nation at ease which lives in confidence.
• 1:28:55
  Declares the Lord. A nation that has neither gave
• 1:28:58
  snar bars is people live far from danger.
• 1:29:01
  Their camels will be will become plunder and their large herds
• 1:29:06
  will be spoils of war. I will scatter to the winds
• 1:29:09
  those who are in distant places, and I will bring disaster on
• 1:29:14
  them from every side, declares the Lord.
• 1:29:17
  Hazer will become a haunt of jackals, A desolate place
• 1:29:21
  forever. No one will live there, no
• 1:29:25
  people will dwell on it. So I had to look up where.
• 1:29:29
  Where is Hazor today? Where?
• 1:29:32
  Where is that? And today the site of ancient
• 1:29:36
  Hazor is known as Tel Hazor, a major archaeological site and
• 1:29:42
  UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern Israel, located in the
• 1:29:47
  Upper Galilee region, north of the Sea of Galilee.
• 1:29:50
  It is an active archaeological dig open to the public and is
• 1:29:54
  situated in the Hula Valley along an important ancient Rd.
• 1:30:00
  So it, you know, there's lots of Egyptian and Babylonian
• 1:30:04
  artifacts that have been found in there.
• 1:30:06
  It's kind of interesting to search more into that.
• 1:30:09
  A UNESCO World Heritage site is a cultural or natural landmark
• 1:30:15
  of out quote outstanding universal value that is legally
• 1:30:21
  protected under an international treaty.
• 1:30:24
  That's just very interesting. These sites are designated for
• 1:30:27
  their importance to humanity and are protected for future
• 1:30:31
  generation. So that is confirmed that that
• 1:30:41
  has happened because nobody's living in Hazor.
• 1:30:43
  It's a, it's, it like a park and people can go there on
• 1:30:47
  archaeological site, but nobody lives there.
• 1:30:50
  And so this prophecy is true. So message about Elam, I thought
• 1:30:54
  where, how did Iran, this is southern Iran or Iran, How did
• 1:30:59
  this get in here? Southern Iran, Iran.
• 1:31:03
  This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah, the
• 1:31:06
  prophet concerning Elam, that's southern Iran, early in the
• 1:31:11
  reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah.
• 1:31:14
  This is what the Lord Almighty says.
• 1:31:16
  See, I will break the bow of Elam, the mainstay of their
• 1:31:21
  might. I will bring against Elam the
• 1:31:25
  four winds from the four quarters of heaven.
• 1:31:30
  Let's hold up here. So this is southern Iran, and
• 1:31:37
  he's bringing the four winds from the four quarters of
• 1:31:42
  heavens. So does that make sense?
• 1:31:48
  Well, it it does when you look up scripture.
• 1:31:51
  Let's see. I got to find the place where I
• 1:31:55
  found that I I don't know, I might have closed that, but I
• 1:32:03
  did look up. I'll have to look it up again.
• 1:32:05
  So four wins. That's that's very interesting
• 1:32:09
  to search that in the Bible. I did it, but I lost my page.
• 1:32:16
  I guess I might have closed it. It occurs 24 times in 4 verses.
• 1:32:22
  So it is first listed in chapter 49, verse 36, which we were just
• 1:32:27
  reading, but then it's in Ezekiel, it's in Daniel, it's in
• 1:32:32
  Zechariah, and it's in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Revelation
• 1:32:38
  Chapter 7. So this is, you know, it's in
• 1:32:42
  all of these prophecies. Jeremiah says it first and then
• 1:32:46
  Ezekiel. I'm just going to read these 9
• 1:32:49
  verses because again, this is significant.
• 1:32:53
  So Ezekiel says, then he said to me, prophecy to the breath
• 1:32:58
  prophecy, son of man, and say to it, this is what the sovereign
• 1:33:00
  Lord says, come breathe from the four winds and he breath into
• 1:33:06
  the slain that they may live. So it's breath from the four
• 1:33:11
  winds. That's often like 4 spirits.
• 1:33:14
  It's something from the heavenly realms breathing into the slain
• 1:33:19
  people that they may live is the 4 is the four.
• 1:33:25
  I don't know, like it's something spiritual, something
• 1:33:29
  more. Is it I?
• 1:33:31
  You know that I don't have all the answers here, but Daniel,
• 1:33:35
  his vision. So Daniel said in my vision, and
• 1:33:37
  I looked and there before me were the four winds of heaven
• 1:33:42
  churning up the great sea. Now this is something spiritual.
• 1:33:45
  I do know that. That's about it.
• 1:33:47
  All I know is that there's something spiritual of heaven
• 1:33:52
  turning up the great sea. The goat became very great.
• 1:33:56
  But this isn't Daniel 8 verse 8. The goat became very great, but
• 1:34:01
  at the height of its power, the Lord's horn was broken off and
• 1:34:05
  in its place 4 prominent horns grew up toward the four winds of
• 1:34:10
  heaven. I think that's again something
• 1:34:13
  spiritual. And these are 4 strengths of
• 1:34:16
  power. That's just, you know, the goat
• 1:34:18
  and the ram. And I think that does have some
• 1:34:21
  end time significance as well. But that's going to be a whole
• 1:34:24
  long. Can't get into that right now.
• 1:34:26
  Daniel 11. After he has arisen, his temple
• 1:34:29
  will be broken up and parceled out toward the four winds of
• 1:34:33
  heaven. It will not go to his
• 1:34:35
  descendants, nor will it have the power he exercised, because
• 1:34:38
  his empire will be uprooted and given to others.
• 1:34:41
  This is something spiritual. Again, we don't have time to go
• 1:34:44
  into that. Zechariah 2, verse 6 Come, come,
• 1:34:48
  flee from the land of the north, declares the Lord.
• 1:34:50
  For I have scattered you to the four winds of heaven, declares
• 1:34:53
  the Lord. I need to read that a little bit
• 1:34:56
  more because I'm in Zechariah too.
• 1:35:00
  It says, come Zion, escape. You who live in daughter
• 1:35:04
  Babylon. Shout and be glad, daughter
• 1:35:07
  Zion, for I am coming. I will live among you.
• 1:35:09
  So this obviously is end Times related, Matthew 24.
• 1:35:15
  This is Jesus talking, and he will send his angels with a loud
• 1:35:18
  trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four
• 1:35:21
  winds from one end of the heavens to the other.
• 1:35:25
  And then Mark says the same thing, and He will send his
• 1:35:28
  angels and gather his elect from the four winds from the ends of
• 1:35:32
  the earth to the ends of the heaven.
• 1:35:36
  And Revelation 71 says after this, I saw 4 angels standing at
• 1:35:42
  the four corners of the earth holding back the four winds of
• 1:35:46
  the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on
• 1:35:52
  the sea or any tree. So wind is sometimes Rua.
• 1:35:57
  Well, in Hebrew it's Rua, and in Greek it's numa, I believe so I
• 1:36:06
  don't know, I'm going to dive into this.
• 1:36:09
  So this is a different kind of a wind.
• 1:36:11
  It's not Numa like the spirit, it's animus or something.
• 1:36:17
  I don't know if I pronounce it right.
• 1:36:19
  Straws G417 Animus Animus OK, so animus and it is a wind, a
• 1:36:29
  violent agitation and stream of air, a very strong temptuous
• 1:36:34
  wind. The four principal are cardinal
• 1:36:37
  winds has hence the four corners of the corners of the earth.
• 1:36:41
  And I guess that's the northeast, South and West.
• 1:36:44
  So, but I, I just think that there's a little bit more to it
• 1:36:47
  than than just that. That's from the outline of the
• 1:36:51
  Bible and the typical use. It's talking, you know, it's
• 1:36:55
  talking about wind and it's stuffed.
• 1:36:57
  It's, it's, I guess literally a wind rather than a spirit that,
• 1:37:02
  you know, that would be called pneuma.
• 1:37:04
  That is also referred to as wind several times in the Bible.
• 1:37:09
  So let's see, we covered all the four winds.
• 1:37:16
  We covered Damascus and Edom. Continuing on, let's see where
• 1:37:24
  we are here. But Elam, southern Iran, let's
• 1:37:32
  see. OK, I will bring against Elam
• 1:37:34
  the four winds from the four quarters of heaven.
• 1:37:37
  I will scatter them to the four winds, and there will not be a
• 1:37:43
  nation where Elam's exiles do not go.
• 1:37:47
  I will shatter Elam before their foes, before those who want to
• 1:37:51
  kill them. I will bring disaster on them,
• 1:37:55
  even my fierce anger. I will pursue them with the
• 1:37:58
  sword until I have made an end of them.
• 1:38:02
  I will set my throne in Elam and destroy her king and officials,
• 1:38:08
  declares the Lord. Yet I will will restore the
• 1:38:12
  fortunes of Elam in the days to come.
• 1:38:15
  And that's the end of chapter 20 or 49.
• 1:38:19
  So it says. Why would God set up his throne
• 1:38:22
  in a foreign land to show that he is in charge of all history
• 1:38:25
  and every nation? Elam would be judged for their
• 1:38:28
  sins too. Some think my throne refers to
• 1:38:30
  specifically the instrument God intended to use to judge Elam.
• 1:38:34
  That is Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon.
• 1:38:36
  He may have invaded Elam, which was adjacent to Babylon a year
• 1:38:40
  or so after this prophecy was written.
• 1:38:43
  But again, like I think it's double fulfilled prophecy
• 1:38:46
  because I think this is also future and let's see what else
• 1:38:51
  it says here. After announcing judgment, why
• 1:38:54
  would God offer hope to Elam? A proclamation of judgment was
• 1:38:57
  frequently coupled with the promise of blessing by Old
• 1:39:00
  Testament prophet. This was Jeremiah's parting shot
• 1:39:02
  at Elam. It was a message of hope.
• 1:39:05
  God was out to redeem all of humanity, not just the nation of
• 1:39:09
  Israel. If repentance followed God's
• 1:39:13
  judgement, restoration would follow repentance.
• 1:39:17
  God would share his blessings with the Elamites if they would
• 1:39:21
  only repent. This is where it just talks
• 1:39:24
  about the about just God's mercy and and how he, you know, so
• 1:39:34
  merciful to people. So in verse 22, it says, look,
• 1:39:41
  an eagle will soar and swoop down, spreading its wings over
• 1:39:45
  Basra In that day, the hearts of Edom's warriors will be like a
• 1:39:49
  heart of a woman in labor. This eagle has been referenced
• 1:39:53
  so many different times in the Bible and when you search eagle
• 1:39:59
  it it gives you you know all these different entries.
• 1:40:02
  I mean first of all in. When I searched eagle, I don't I
• 1:40:06
  think I might have closed that one up too, but so I need to
• 1:40:11
  open that again. When I searched it originally,
• 1:40:14
  it it, it's just confusing whether it is good or bad
• 1:40:19
  because it starts out in Leviticus Chapter 11 that they
• 1:40:23
  are unclean, the eagle and that they are not to be eaten.
• 1:40:28
  And and then it says, like in Deuteronomy, the Lord will bring
• 1:40:33
  a nation against you from far away, the ends of the earth,
• 1:40:36
  like an eagle swooping down a nation whose language you do not
• 1:40:40
  understand, like an like an eagle that stirs up its nest and
• 1:40:44
  hovers over its young, that spreads wings to catch them and
• 1:40:48
  carries them aloft. And so it, you know, it talks
• 1:40:53
  about the swiftness of an eagle swooping down its wings over
• 1:40:58
  Moab, which we read, and over Boa Basra.
• 1:41:03
  And then Ezekiel sees a cherubim that has these four faces.
• 1:41:10
  And you know, like 1 is like a human being, the other's like a
• 1:41:13
  lion, and the other is like a bull and the other's like an
• 1:41:16
  eagle. So he talks about seeing that.
• 1:41:19
  And I wondered, you know, if it's from the heavenly realm and
• 1:41:23
  it's an eagle, then is it bad or is it good?
• 1:41:27
  I mean, there's a lot of times where it is like bad and good.
• 1:41:30
  Maybe there is bad and good, or it's maybe just more the
• 1:41:33
  strength and power that is associated with the eagle.
• 1:41:37
  Because in Ezekiel he talks about it also, the Lord says a
• 1:41:41
  great eagle with powerful wings, long feathers and a full plume
• 1:41:45
  and varied coming, varied colors came to Lebanon taking hold of
• 1:41:49
  the top of the cedar. So there is a, a, a parable, I
• 1:41:54
  guess about in Isaiah or Ezekiel 17.
• 1:42:00
  And it's about two eagles in a vine.
• 1:42:02
  I don't know how long this podcast has gone on, but oh,
• 1:42:05
  it's pretty long. So I'm not going to read the two
• 1:42:07
  eagles in a vine. But after reading it and just
• 1:42:12
  slowing down and thinking about everything that it says, I
• 1:42:17
  believe it has a spiritual aspect to it where there are two
• 1:42:23
  great eagles and one may be the Lord himself and the other is
• 1:42:29
  his enemy, those who are against him in a spiritual realm.
• 1:42:34
  And, and so it's like, who are you going to submit to?
• 1:42:40
  Because when he talks about the 2 eagles in the vine, he talks
• 1:42:43
  about making a covenant. Like Israel had a covenant with
• 1:42:45
  God, but then they broke that covenant.
• 1:42:48
  Then they made a covenant with the enemy, with Babylon.
• 1:42:52
  And then they broke that covenant and they tried to get
• 1:42:55
  away from it. But God was like, you're not
• 1:42:56
  going to get away from it. But then I'm going to plant
• 1:42:59
  something, and I think that has to do with the reign of Christ.
• 1:43:03
  And so read Ezekiel 17 and see what you get from that.
• 1:43:09
  Then I started looking like how many countries are associated
• 1:43:12
  with an eagle on their flag? And there's a lot of them,
• 1:43:15
  Albania, Egypt, Zakistan from, you know, within Russia, Mexico,
• 1:43:21
  Moldova, Austria, Germany, Montenegro, Poland, Russia,
• 1:43:28
  Serbia and the United States, all of these have, you know,
• 1:43:32
  some representation of an eagle in their their flag.
• 1:43:37
  And then I wanted to see like, what does great eagle generally
• 1:43:42
  mean? And Tolkien's writings came up
• 1:43:48
  so see great eagle can refer to several things, including the
• 1:43:53
  large fictional great eagles from Tolkien's works, a term for
• 1:43:57
  real life large birds of prey like the golden eagle, or a name
• 1:44:01
  for products and companies like the Great Eagle Car Company and
• 1:44:04
  Great Eagle Holdings. So it goes on to say, so
• 1:44:08
  Tolkien, I was curious about him and and I was like, what did he
• 1:44:13
  say about Christianity and JRR? Tolkien was a devout Roman
• 1:44:19
  Catholic, and his Christianity is central, though not overly
• 1:44:24
  allegorical, theme in his Middle Earth stories.
• 1:44:27
  He described The Lord of the Rings as a fundamentally
• 1:44:30
  religious and Catholic work, with many themes like the battle
• 1:44:33
  between good and evil, humility over pride, and divine
• 1:44:38
  Providence woven throughout the narrative.
• 1:44:40
  Tolkien insists that the work was not strict allegory, but his
• 1:44:44
  faith deeply informed the stories and their underlying
• 1:44:47
  message. So that could come from the
• 1:44:50
  Bible that he was noticing this as well, like the the struggle
• 1:44:56
  between good and evil. And then recently I had not,
• 1:45:02
  I've heard this before, but the Native American Indians had a
• 1:45:05
  belief in a great eagle. And in many Native American
• 1:45:10
  cultures, the eagle is a sacred symbol of the Great Spirit or
• 1:45:14
  Creator, embodying traits like power, strength, wisdom, and
• 1:45:18
  courage. It is seen as a divine messenger
• 1:45:21
  that flies between the earthly and spiritual realms, carrying
• 1:45:24
  prayers into the heavens. The eagle's feathers are highly
• 1:45:27
  revered and used in sacred ceremonies, healing rituals, and
• 1:45:31
  symbols of honor and truth. Now I don't want to, you know,
• 1:45:34
  God is not an eagle, the creator is not an eagle.
• 1:45:39
  So I don't want to make that connection.
• 1:45:42
  But, and again, this is like a deceptive thing because there's
• 1:45:48
  2 eagles in a vine and the enemy can appear like an Angel of
• 1:45:52
  light. So I want to warn people that,
• 1:45:57
  you know, believing if it's where, where is Jesus in this?
• 1:46:04
  Because Jesus is the way to the Father.
• 1:46:09
  And if we don't acknowledge Jesus and if we say, well, these
• 1:46:13
  were just representations and we still believe in a creator, So
• 1:46:17
  what does this Creator say about Jesus?
• 1:46:20
  If we want to be in God's Kingdom, we must accept what
• 1:46:27
  Jesus did on the cross as our way into the Kingdom of God.
• 1:46:33
  Because we are all sinners and we all, you know, sin in the
• 1:46:39
  presence of God gets burned up, gets destroyed because we can't
• 1:46:44
  be unholy in the presence of God.
• 1:46:46
  People of the Old Testament were fearful of seeing God because
• 1:46:50
  they were afraid they'd be destroyed because they were
• 1:46:52
  unholy. So there had to be a solution
• 1:46:56
  for that. And the solution was God
• 1:47:00
  himself, his Son Jesus on the cross was the solution that God
• 1:47:06
  allowed sacrifices from the very beginning of sin.
• 1:47:10
  When he clothed Adam and Eve with the skin of an animal, that
• 1:47:14
  was the first sacrifice. So God allowed that to be the
• 1:47:17
  substitute sacrifice. So Adam and Eve were not killed
• 1:47:21
  and they could continue to live and multiply.
• 1:47:24
  And so God all along allowed sacrifices for temporary
• 1:47:31
  solution so that people were not ultimately destroyed.
• 1:47:35
  But there was no one holy, no one that would be completely
• 1:47:41
  righteous willing to do that. There were good people along the
• 1:47:45
  way, but they all sinned and they all were weak when it came
• 1:47:48
  to struggling against sin. So that's why Jesus had to come.
• 1:47:55
  Jesus had a purpose. He knew his purpose.
• 1:47:57
  He didn't. Just like this didn't happen to
• 1:48:00
  him by surprise. He knew he was going to die on
• 1:48:02
  the cross. He knew the pain he was going to
• 1:48:04
  go through. That's why he prayed to God and
• 1:48:06
  said if it's possible, take this cup away from me, the cup of
• 1:48:10
  wrath, but if not, your will be done.
• 1:48:13
  So he was fully submitted to the Father.
• 1:48:15
  He knew what his job was. He had to do it discreetly
• 1:48:19
  because he didn't want the enemy to know.
• 1:48:20
  If the enemy knew that all people would be saved by Jesus's
• 1:48:24
  death on the cross, the enemy wouldn't have crucified him.
• 1:48:28
  So it was somewhat in secret, but somewhat obvious and in
• 1:48:32
  hindsight. And that's why Jesus told
• 1:48:36
  parables as well. It's just somewhat keep it
• 1:48:39
  hidden. But the ones who were truly
• 1:48:41
  seeking him would have a revelation from God about these
• 1:48:45
  things that he spoke of. So it's really fascinating how
• 1:48:48
  God redeemed all of us. And anyway, there's, there's
• 1:48:55
  lots of different beliefs in the, in the world about
• 1:49:00
  different things, but the Bible is the one true source and it
• 1:49:07
  proves itself over and over again.
• 1:49:10
  And it's worth reading because it reveals God to us and it
• 1:49:15
  helps us so that we are not deceived.
• 1:49:18
  Obviously we need the Holy Spirit so that we are not
• 1:49:21
  deceived, but reading the word of God and most importantly,
• 1:49:26
  praying to God and developing a an ongoing communication with
• 1:49:32
  God so that we can have discernment through the Holy
• 1:49:35
  Spirit to know good from evil and not be deceived.
• 1:49:38
  And so that we can, if our lives pass, if we make that transition
• 1:49:46
  and fall asleep as it calls it in the Bible, then our spirit
• 1:49:50
  will be raised to God to meet with him in the air when Jesus
• 1:49:56
  returns. So I hope that's all clear to
• 1:50:00
  everyone and this is a long podcast, but I didn't anticipate
• 1:50:04
  all of what I was going to talk about, but it's so important.
• 1:50:07
  And if this help to you in any way, please share it with other
• 1:50:13
  people because I think it's really important right now with
• 1:50:15
  the timing, especially if there is any truth in the dreams that
• 1:50:21
  I had, because it's coming around the corner so soon.
• 1:50:25
  And and we just need to be prepared and help others to be
• 1:50:29
  prepared. So please share this, please
• 1:50:32
  encourage others to get into the word.
• 1:50:34
  If you're not, you know, I don't care if you believe anything
• 1:50:37
  that I have to say. Just get close to God.
• 1:50:39
  And that's the most important thing.
• 1:50:41
  So I asked this in Jesus name, Amen.
