SPEAKER_00: Hello, this is Ken, your podcast preacher.
0:17
SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to my podcast Deep Waters.
0:19
SPEAKER_00: This podcast is brought to you by Applied Strengths Ministry, where we believe working together in our strengths is the effect of working out the will and calling of God into our lives.
0:28
SPEAKER_00: Thanks for joining me.
0:29
SPEAKER_00: Let's open up in prayer.
0:30
SPEAKER_00: Blessed be the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed you with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as he chose you and him before the foundation of the world, that you should be holy and without blame before him in love, having predestined you to adoption as our son and daughter by Jesus Christ Himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, which he purposed in himself, to the praise of the glory of his grace by which he made you accepted into beloved.
0:54
SPEAKER_00: In him you have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace which he made to abound towards you in all wisdom and prudence.
1:02
SPEAKER_00: Having made known to you the mystery of his will, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times, ye might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth in him.
1:13
SPEAKER_00: I ask that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, and the knowledge of the mystery of him, and to the deepest knowledge of him that you are willing and able to receive, that the eyes of your understanding would be open wider, and that you would be enlightened to who he is, that you may know what is the hope of his calling.
1:30
SPEAKER_00: What are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in you?
1:33
SPEAKER_00: And what is the exceeding greatness of his power towards you who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, which he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead, and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, that he would grant that you would be strengthened with might through his spirit in the inner man, in and through your spirit and heart, and that you would be able to stand against your flesh, this world, and the devil, in into any and all temptations.
1:56
SPEAKER_00: I pray that your love may abound more and more in all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense until the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.
2:08
SPEAKER_00: I ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will and all wisdom and spiritual understanding, that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing him, being fruitful in every good work, and strengthen with all might, according to his glorious power, in all patience and long-suffering with joy, giving thanks to the Father who has qualified you to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints, who walk in the light.
2:27
SPEAKER_00: I pray that your hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in loving unity, and that you would retain to all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, both of the Father and of Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
2:39
SPEAKER_00: I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which is given to each of my listeners of Christ Jesus, that you are enriched in everything by him, in all utterance and all knowledge, so that you do not come short in obtaining or operating in your calling and purpose, nor in using any spiritual gift account, eagerly waiting for the continued revelation of our Lord Jesus, who will confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the near coming of the day of our Lord.
3:04
SPEAKER_00: God is faithful by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus.
3:08
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so now therefore, my sisters and brothers in Christ, when things get tough, think about whatever things are true, noble, just pure, lovely, and whatever things are of a good report.
3:18
SPEAKER_00: If there is any virtue, and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things alone.
3:23
SPEAKER_00: I pray that in these very days that you would let your love be without hypocrisy, hate and loathe what is evil, cling to what is good and righteous, be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor, giving preference to one another, not lagging in diligence, fervent and fully engulfed in spiritual fire, serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, walking in the peace of God, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfast in prayer, distributing to the needs of the saints, that is each other, and that you would be given the hospitality.
3:54
SPEAKER_00: May the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like minded towards one another, according to Christ Jesus, that we learn to be of one mind, in one accord, operating completely and fully in love and unity, always striving for the working out of God's specific will for each of our lives, while working in partnership with each other within the church and the Holy Spirit, as He manifests His miracle signs and wonders through the daily activities of our ministry and kingdom work, and while we also go out preaching the gospel and word and deed.
4:20
SPEAKER_00: Let us love and serve one another, our enemy, and those who wouldn't expect us to do so, considering each person better than ourselves.
4:28
SPEAKER_00: Bind up any words or thoughts that are contrary to the love of God, or which would set you back in your Christian walk.
4:33
SPEAKER_00: Step out of faith today, walking with God, being assured that nothing will separate you from Him as long as you abide in Him.
4:39
SPEAKER_00: Call those things that don't exist as though they do.
4:41
SPEAKER_00: Remember He that is in you is greater than He that is in the world.
4:44
SPEAKER_00: Be more than a conqueror today, submitting to the will of God in everything.
4:48
SPEAKER_00: Let each of us express uncompromising love towards one another in humility while maintaining a teachable spirit.
4:54
SPEAKER_00: I pray that God will give you the revelation within this message that he intends you to receive with the understanding.
4:59
SPEAKER_00: Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of his knowledge in every place.
5:06
SPEAKER_00: In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
5:08
SPEAKER_00: The title of this message is There's a Rapture, but not before these end time events take place.
5:14
SPEAKER_00: I cannot express just how much I love learning about God.
5:17
SPEAKER_00: If you stick to it, you will never run out of fresh material.
5:21
SPEAKER_00: That is, you will never run out of fresh revelation to be more specific.
5:25
SPEAKER_00: So my lovely audience of listeners, how many rapture and tribulation messages have I done?
5:31
SPEAKER_00: Not enough for sure, but like the others, this one takes a different angle and provides a timeline of the events left to happen before poof.
5:39
SPEAKER_00: But now we're not talking about dating or even specific seasons, although I have some idea it will be in the fall.
5:44
SPEAKER_00: We're not setting dates or anything like that.
5:47
SPEAKER_00: It's just more of a chronological series of events that will eventually lead up to the rapture and then to the seven years of tribulation.
5:55
SPEAKER_00: My source for this message is Steve Ciolani's book titled The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, The Great Warning of the Next Ten Years, as well as Google AI.
6:04
SPEAKER_00: I recommend Steve's books as they are timely, accurate, prophetic, and teach us well of the things that were and are and will be.
6:12
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so let's go big, or rather high first.
6:16
SPEAKER_00: Well, in an ignorantly adopting lie sort of way, this message might please some of those who really feel like they want to go through the tribulation of God, that is, his judgment against all unrighteousness and sin.
6:28
SPEAKER_00: You know, to preach to those who have no intention of listening to any preachers including angels, Revelation fourteen, six through seven, one hundred forty four thousand radical Jewish evangelists Revelation seven one through eight, or the two end time prophets who are supernaturally empowered to perform miracle signs and wonders, Revelation eleven three through twelve.
6:48
SPEAKER_00: And therefore, because of their self imposed pious position, they do not believe in a God who tells the truth always.
6:55
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so restated for simplicity, they do not believe that God would remove all of the authentically born again Christians from the planet, leaving the rest of the fake believers, make believers, non believers, and those who are stuck in a valley of indecision to the devil and his wily ways.
7:11
SPEAKER_00: Ah, sounds pious, right?
7:13
SPEAKER_00: And but of course they would be partially correct in that God wouldn't do that, as his word states, he desires that all men be saved.
7:21
SPEAKER_00: Timothy two, four and second Peter three nine, Isaiah forty five twenty two and forty nine six.
7:28
SPEAKER_00: And that his soul takes no pleasure in the death of one who dies Ezekiel eighteen twenty three and thirty three eleven.
7:35
SPEAKER_00: So what assurance do we have that God will not have left the fake believers, make believers, non believers, and those who are stuck in the valley of indecision to the devil?
7:44
SPEAKER_00: I just left that Easter egg on the front porch.
7:46
SPEAKER_00: The hundred and forty four thousand Jewish gospel firebrands and the two end time prophets.
7:52
SPEAKER_00: And let us not forget that some of the fake believers, make believers, non believers, and those who are stuck in the valley of indecision will have woken up once they find out that they missed the big signs and left their containers of oil home.
8:06
SPEAKER_00: Matthew twenty five, one through thirteen.
8:09
SPEAKER_00: So now where does this leave us?
8:11
SPEAKER_00: It leaves those of us who are watching for his return to ask when?
8:15
SPEAKER_00: Just like Jesus' disciple did back in the day, Matthew twenty four, three through thirty one, and Luke twenty one, one through thirty.
8:24
SPEAKER_00: Since Jesus didn't state precisely when he would return, he did leave us Easter eggs all along the way so that we could discern the times.
8:31
SPEAKER_00: Matthew twenty four, forty two through forty four, twenty five thirteen, Luke twenty one, thirty four through thirty six.
8:40
SPEAKER_00: Note the word escape in that scripture, Mark thirteen, thirty five through thirty seven, and first Thessalonians five, four through six.
8:49
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so enough about watching.
8:51
SPEAKER_00: Let's get back to the high level explanation and why those who don't take too kindly to the rapture will like this message.
8:57
SPEAKER_00: Now you might be asking, why would they be excited about this message?
9:01
SPEAKER_00: And I would say because we are looking at the end times right now, at an enterprise level or a very high up level, and see that there are two phases of trouble headed our way.
9:13
SPEAKER_00: And in fact, we're in the midst of them now.
9:15
SPEAKER_00: Just the beginning mist, but we are in the midst of them.
9:19
SPEAKER_00: So yes, two phases of trouble.
9:21
SPEAKER_00: I guess you could say it's double trouble.
9:23
SPEAKER_00: And but remember, we are more than conquerors in Christ.
9:26
SPEAKER_00: Romans eight thirty seven, and greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world.
9:31
SPEAKER_00: John four four.
9:32
SPEAKER_00: And Jesus said through the Holy Spirit we can do all things through Christ Philippians four thirteen.
9:37
SPEAKER_00: And so we don't have to be afraid of these days that have fallen upon us in the end time saints.
9:43
SPEAKER_00: Second Timothy one seven.
9:45
SPEAKER_00: The first trouble part we are already in and have been in since the first seal was opened, which is that the white horse had begun and completed its run, which we know represented COVID nineteen, which lasted for about three and a half years.
9:58
SPEAKER_00: Let us look at the scriptural white horse job description.
10:02
SPEAKER_00: The primary scripture discussing a white horse linked to deception is Revelation six two, which introduces the first of four horsemen of the apocalypse.
10:10
SPEAKER_00: This writer, often interpreted as representing a false gospel or religious deception, carries a bow, wears a crown, and goes out conquering and to conquer, symbolizing a deceptive pseudo Christ force.
10:24
SPEAKER_00: Now we're going to speak into that definition a little bit because there are some other prophetic words that are more precise in the definition of what that horse represents, and we're going to talk about that in a minute.
10:34
SPEAKER_00: And always keep in mind, just because I got it in AI doesn't mean it's true.
10:38
SPEAKER_00: Revelation 6, 1 through 8, the four horsemen.
10:40
SPEAKER_00: The white horse has identified it as a first seal representing a deceptive peace or political force that leads to the calamities of the subsequent Red War, Black, Famine, and Pale, or Green Horse, which is death.
10:53
SPEAKER_00: Horses.
10:54
SPEAKER_00: Interpretation of the rider.
10:55
SPEAKER_00: While the rider in Revelation chapter 19 is Jesus, the rider in Revelation 6 2 is widely interpreted as a counterfeit or antichrist figure because he appears at the beginning of human judgment rather than its end.
11:08
SPEAKER_00: Note, and this is my note, which comes right out of the book I already mentioned, the writer was Fachi.
11:13
SPEAKER_00: Read Steve's book mentioned earlier, and he'll go into great detail to prove that it's actually true.
11:18
SPEAKER_00: The symbolism of the bow.
11:20
SPEAKER_00: The writer holds a bow representing military power, but is not mentioned as having arrows, suggesting a conquest achieved through diplomacy or empty threats rather than direct war.
11:30
SPEAKER_00: A deceptive peace.
11:32
SPEAKER_00: Update, again, it's my update.
11:34
SPEAKER_00: It has to be implied that if there was a bow, there were also arrows.
11:38
SPEAKER_00: Anything else is just religiously silly.
11:41
SPEAKER_00: If somebody stands up and says I have a gun, are we to assume that because he didn't say I have bullets that he has no bullets?
11:47
SPEAKER_00: No, of course not.
11:49
SPEAKER_00: Read Steve's book for a more finite description of the symbols in this scripture, such as the toxins, which come from the arrows, the crown, and what that really means Hispanically speaking, and other interesting, provable facts.
12:04
SPEAKER_00: So we now come to the red horse.
12:05
SPEAKER_00: The stage was set for it by the preceding horse, and it is such the case with each horse preceding the next.
12:12
SPEAKER_00: The opening of the second seal released the red horse, which is tasked with removing peace from the earth, among other destructive things.
12:19
SPEAKER_00: It is the war horse, and as you can see, we are right in the middle of that, as of march twenty twenty six.
12:26
SPEAKER_00: Take no light notice that these are globally impacting events, not just regional.
12:31
SPEAKER_00: This red horse is to complete its gallop around the end of the year or early 2027.
12:37
SPEAKER_00: And but this doesn't mean that wars or no more COVID type events will end with the associated horse gallop.
12:44
SPEAKER_00: It simply means that God is on a timeline and it doesn't change for anyone.
12:48
SPEAKER_00: The following is a scriptural red horse job description.
12:51
SPEAKER_00: Keep in mind these job descriptions are not prophets or seers who necessarily have God's vision for these things.
12:57
SPEAKER_00: As always, the devil likes to create confusion by releasing multiple versions of the truth, or partial truths, so that it breeds confusion, and even frustrating people so that they won't even read the Bible.
13:09
SPEAKER_00: Purpose accomplished insofar as what Satan is doing on this planet.
13:12
SPEAKER_00: Don't let him get away with it.
13:14
SPEAKER_00: Keep reading your Bible.
13:15
SPEAKER_00: Time will prove it was a total and complete truth of God from beginning to end.
13:19
SPEAKER_00: The scripture that talks about the red horse and removing peace from the earth is Revelation six four.
13:25
SPEAKER_00: Often read alongside verse three.
13:27
SPEAKER_00: This verse describes the second of the four horsemen of the apocalypse who was granted power to take peace from the earth, causing people to kill one another with a great sword.
13:35
SPEAKER_00: The scene, when the lamb opens a second seal, a fiery red horse appears.
13:40
SPEAKER_00: The rider's purpose, the rider is given a great sword and permission to take peace from the earth, causing widespread violence and bloodshed.
13:48
SPEAKER_00: Significant.
13:48
SPEAKER_00: Many interpretations consider this horseman a symbol of war, conflict, and societal breakdown during the end times.
13:55
SPEAKER_00: And of course, it doesn't take a brainiac to understand that's exactly what's going on.
13:59
SPEAKER_00: The breakdown really started somewhere around 2016.
14:04
SPEAKER_00: That is, it was more public than it has been at any other time in history.
14:08
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so we have two more horses and five more seals to open, and this is important, keep track of those numbers.
14:14
SPEAKER_00: And so but sticking with the high level theme, the black horse is the next which will produce famine in the land.
14:21
SPEAKER_00: This work has already begun because the red horse, through the current war with Iran, has created a shortage of fertilizer, which is needed right now, as we are in planting season.
14:30
SPEAKER_00: Let's spy the facts.
14:32
SPEAKER_00: Approximately one third, about thirty three percent of the global seaborne trade in fertilizers passes through the Strait of Hormuz, making it a critical choke point for global agricultural supply chains.
14:44
SPEAKER_00: The region is a major exporter of nitrogen based fertilizers, with the Gulf accounting for nearly half of global urea trade.
14:52
SPEAKER_00: Volume, roughly sixteen million tons of synthetic fertilizers pass through the Straits annually.
14:58
SPEAKER_00: Nitrogen focus, the Gulf region produces a large share of the world's nitrogen based fertilizers, critical for wheat and corn production.
15:06
SPEAKER_00: Impact of disruption, a blockade or disruption in this, as seen in the late February, March 2026, can cause severe shortages with nitrogen fertilizer prices already spiking by roughly 30%.
15:19
SPEAKER_00: So the stage is being set for a near future famine, a global famine.
15:23
SPEAKER_00: Let us look at the scriptural black horse job description.
15:25
SPEAKER_00: A scripture that specifically describes the black horse and famine is Revelation six, five through six.
15:31
SPEAKER_00: As a third of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, the black horse and its rider holding scales symbolizes severe economic hardship, inflation, and scarcity, where a day's wages, a denarius, only buys enough food for one person.
15:46
SPEAKER_00: Key details The Black Horse represents mourning famine and distress.
15:50
SPEAKER_00: Hold a pair of scales, or balances used to measure food, meticulously indicating severe rationing.
15:57
SPEAKER_00: The famine proclamation, a quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine.
16:04
SPEAKER_00: This indicates that food prices are extremely high, roughly ten times normal costs, causing extreme poverty and famine.
16:12
SPEAKER_00: The context, the writer appears after the white horse, conquest or more precisely, COVID, and the red horse, war, suggesting that a famine is caused by this disruption and devastation of war.
16:24
SPEAKER_00: Even Google AI understands the signs of the times.
16:28
SPEAKER_00: Other biblical references to similar plagues or judgments of famine and economic distress include Ezekiel four sixteen, which describes breaking of the staff of bread, causing rationing and scarcity.
16:42
SPEAKER_00: Zechariah six one through eight mentions black horses moving, which some interpret as symbolizing a similar judgments of captivity and judgment.
16:51
SPEAKER_00: We go on to seal number four and the pale green horse, which is going into financial calamity beyond what anybody has ever seen before.
16:58
SPEAKER_00: Revelation six one through eight.
17:00
SPEAKER_00: And again, us being in a war right now is costing a lot of money.
17:04
SPEAKER_00: And if we continue to be in it, potentially adding country after country, depending on how far Iran and its proxies want to take this, it will inevitably set up a global financial catastrophe as well, which leads us perfectly into the galloping pale green horse.
17:19
SPEAKER_00: As of late March two thousand twenty six, the US has spent over twenty billion on the war against Iran, with costs exceeding eleven point three billion within the first six days.
17:30
SPEAKER_00: The conflict, which began on february twenty eighth, twenty twenty six, involves high cost munitions, causing daily expenses to reach an estimated eight hundred ninety million dollars a day, with total projections exceeding billions.
17:44
SPEAKER_00: The daily rate of the conflict is about eight hundred ninety million to about a billion dollars a day, which will increase as we start to release troops into the area as well.
17:53
SPEAKER_00: The cost is estimated to have surpassed the twenty billion dollars and will by the time that you hear this message exceed twenty five to thirty billion dollars.
18:02
SPEAKER_00: There has been a request for an additional two hundred billion dollars.
18:05
SPEAKER_00: Considering that we are nearing a forty trillion dollar US debt, that's pretty significant.
18:11
SPEAKER_00: So keep in mind that Israel is spending about the same amount daily as the US.
18:15
SPEAKER_00: So the total cost of wars in the three to three and a half year red horse run cannot truly be assessed because of the impact on everything else that has to do with life.
18:25
SPEAKER_00: The losses will be in the trillions of dollars.
18:27
SPEAKER_00: Let's look at the scriptural pale green horse job description.
18:31
SPEAKER_00: The scripture regarding the pale green horse is Revelation six eight, which describes the fourth horseman of the apocalypse, named death, accompanied by Hades.
18:40
SPEAKER_00: They are given authority over one fourth of the earth to kill with a sword, famine, pestilence, or disease, and wild beasts.
18:47
SPEAKER_00: Key details regarding the pale green horse in Revelation six eight, the color the Greek word uses chlorose, which means yellowish green or pale green, the color of a corpse, rather than a typical pale white horse.
19:01
SPEAKER_00: The rider is explicitly named death.
19:04
SPEAKER_00: This figure brings widespread destruction, killing one fourth of the Earth's population through war, that is the sword, starvation, famine, disease, plague, and animals.
19:15
SPEAKER_00: Notice that wars haven't stopped since the red horse galloped.
19:18
SPEAKER_00: Again, one horse event builds upon another.
19:21
SPEAKER_00: The economic context.
19:22
SPEAKER_00: While Revelation six eight focuses on the resulting death toll, the immediate context, Revelation six five through six, describes a black horse which directly impacts the economy by creating extreme inflation and famine.
19:36
SPEAKER_00: The black horse causes food to be sold at exorbitant prices, according to Weefer Dinaris, while the following pale green horse, Revelation six eight, represents the final destruction caused by that scarcity.
19:49
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so that was cheery.
19:50
SPEAKER_00: So has the church been raptured yet, as of march twenty five, twenty twenty six?
19:55
SPEAKER_00: Nope.
19:56
SPEAKER_00: More on that in a minute.
19:57
SPEAKER_00: So but now we see that we still have three seals that still have not been opened, and the church will still be on the planet.
20:03
SPEAKER_00: More precisely, so that you don't think that I understand mathematics, two seals have been opened, and we are still witnessing the second horse, the red horse, having its way with humanity.
20:14
SPEAKER_00: So now I ask again, has the church been raptured?
20:16
SPEAKER_00: Nope, again.
20:18
SPEAKER_00: And we won't in the middle of these horse runs.
20:20
SPEAKER_00: I will explain why momentarily.
20:23
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so but one more thing about our galloping chaotics which have to do with the colors of the horses.
20:28
SPEAKER_00: It's another Easter egg left on the front porch.
20:31
SPEAKER_00: White, red, black, green.
20:33
SPEAKER_00: White, red, black, green.
20:35
SPEAKER_00: Random colors?
20:36
SPEAKER_00: Is God random?
20:37
SPEAKER_00: Or a precise God, whose voice sounds like the voice of many waters.
20:42
SPEAKER_00: Revelation 115, 142, 196, and Ezekiel 43 2.
20:49
SPEAKER_00: Let's see what a flag represents about a country.
20:51
SPEAKER_00: A thought that I knew you were dying to ask.
20:55
SPEAKER_00: Flags act as potential symbols representing a country's history, culture, geography, and values through specific colors and emblems.
21:05
SPEAKER_00: They often symbolize national identity, embodying ideas like freedom, unity, or sacrifice.
21:12
SPEAKER_00: Key elements include colors representing landscapes or historical struggles, religious symbols like crescents or crosses, and astronomical symbols such as stars or the sun.
21:23
SPEAKER_00: Key insights into what flags say about a country, history and independence.
21:28
SPEAKER_00: Elements frequently highlight battles for independence, revolutionary moments, or colonial history, e.g.
21:34
SPEAKER_00: the Union Jack in former British territories.
21:38
SPEAKER_00: Geography and nature, colors often represent natural features, blue for water or sea, green for agricultural landscape, and white for snow or mountains.
21:47
SPEAKER_00: Values and beliefs.
21:49
SPEAKER_00: Specific colors are chosen for meaning, such as red for courage, sacrifice, white for peace, and green for religious, such as Islam or cultural significance.
21:59
SPEAKER_00: Don't miss that subject.
22:00
SPEAKER_00: Small Easter egg right there, such as Islam.
22:02
SPEAKER_00: Religious and cultural significance.
22:04
SPEAKER_00: Symbols like the Nordic Cross or the Turkish Crescent indicate religious heritage, while unique symbols may represent national animals, plants, or in the case of Mozambique, a weapon to symbolize defense.
22:17
SPEAKER_00: Ideals a flag often embodies what a country hopes to be, a vision of its future or the principles upon which it was founded.
22:24
SPEAKER_00: Examples Nepal, its unique non quadrilateral shape represents the Himalayan peaks, with the moon and sun symbolizing calmness and resolve.
22:34
SPEAKER_00: Brazil, the color represents the House of Braganza and Habsburg, with a key view from the day they became a republic.
22:42
SPEAKER_00: South Africa, the Y shape represents a convergence of different elements of society, symbolizing unity.
22:49
SPEAKER_00: Saudi Arabia features the Shahara, Islamic Declaration of Faith, making it a sacred flag.
22:55
SPEAKER_00: So the next logical question is what countries have those four and no more colors in their flag?
23:02
SPEAKER_00: My initial list is Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, United Arab Emirates, also known as UAE, Kuwait, Sudan, Jordan, and Palestine.
23:14
SPEAKER_00: Additional research also pulled up Kenya, Western Sahara, Somaliland, Eastern Karelia, and Yemen.
23:21
SPEAKER_00: So the next question you must have is what do all these countries have in common, spiritually speaking?
23:26
SPEAKER_00: Based on the provided research, the countries and territories mentioned Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Sudan, Jordan, Palestine, Yemen, Somaliland, and Western Sahara all share a common religious minority, with Islam being the dominant religion in each, often with populations that are over 90 to 95% Muslim.
23:49
SPEAKER_00: Here are the specific religious commonalities Muslim majority.
23:53
SPEAKER_00: All listed countries in the Middle East and North Africa region, including Somalia, Somaliland, and Sudan, have overwhelming Sunni Muslim majorities, with significant Shia populations in Iraq, Yemen, and Bahrain.
24:09
SPEAKER_00: Theocratic and legal influence.
24:11
SPEAKER_00: In many of these nations, Islamic law, Sharia influences legal systems, particularly in personal status laws, marriage, divorce, and inheritance.
24:21
SPEAKER_00: Birthplace of faiths.
24:22
SPEAKER_00: The core religions listed, Middle East Levant, are the historical birthplace of Abrahamic religions, primarily Islam, which is a unifying faith in the vast majority of these areas.
24:33
SPEAKER_00: Kenya exception Kenya is the outlier in this list, as it is predominantly Christian, roughly eighty five percent Christian and eleven percent Muslim.
24:42
SPEAKER_00: However, the Muslim population in Kenya is significant and concentrated, particularly in the coastal and northeastern regions.
24:51
SPEAKER_00: Eastern Karella exception, Eastern Karella, part of Russia, is not predominantly Muslim, historically being Russian Orthodox Christian.
24:59
SPEAKER_00: Most of these nations are members of the Arab League, except Afghanistan, Kenya, and Somali slash Somaliland, and are considered a part of the Muslim world, where Islam shapes a majority of social and cultural life.
25:12
SPEAKER_00: Do we have Muslim populations in other countries that wave other colors in their flags?
25:17
SPEAKER_00: Of course.
25:18
SPEAKER_00: And they wouldn't want it any other way.
25:20
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so but this message is not an expose on Islam, so on we go.
25:24
SPEAKER_00: Let's seal this message up, if you will.
25:26
SPEAKER_00: The fifth seal described in Revelation six, nine through eleven, reveals the souls of the martyrs slain for their faith, waiting under the heavenly altar.
25:34
SPEAKER_00: They cry out for God's judgment upon the earth, and are given white robes, and are told to wait until the number of the martyrs is complete.
25:42
SPEAKER_00: This seal focuses on faithfulness during tribulation.
25:45
SPEAKER_00: Now notice it doesn't say during the tribulation, because the church will be raptured out.
25:51
SPEAKER_00: Yes, there'll be people that are martyred during the tribulation, but this is not what we're talking about.
25:56
SPEAKER_00: We're trying to identify when the church will be raptured, in between the end of the seven seals and the beginning of the seven trumpets, or more accurately stated, the seven shophars.
26:07
SPEAKER_00: Back to the definition.
26:08
SPEAKER_00: Location, the scene takes place in heaven, as martyred saints are seen under the altar.
26:13
SPEAKER_00: The cry.
26:14
SPEAKER_00: The martyrs ask, How long, O Lord?
26:16
SPEAKER_00: Holy and true until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth.
26:20
SPEAKER_00: The response they are given white robes, which symbolizes salvation and purification, and righteousness, and they are told to rest until more fellow servants and brothers are killed, filling the required number.
26:32
SPEAKER_00: Context unlike the first four seals, which represent the horsemen, which are judgments on the earth, the fifth seal is a dramatic scene showing the effect of persecution.
26:41
SPEAKER_00: Symbolism, it represents the cry of believers martyred throughout history for the word of God and their testimony.
26:48
SPEAKER_00: So have we been raptured yet?
26:50
SPEAKER_00: Nope, we're still here.
26:51
SPEAKER_00: The sixth seal in the Bible found in Revelation six, twelve through seventeen, is a cataclysmic event, signaling the great day of his wrath.
26:59
SPEAKER_00: It features a massive earthquake, a black sun, a blood red moon, falling stars, the sky rolling up like a scroll, and mountains and islands moving.
27:09
SPEAKER_00: Humanity hides in terror, questioning who can stand.
27:13
SPEAKER_00: Key components of the sixth seal cosmic disturbances.
27:16
SPEAKER_00: The sun turns black, the moon turns to blood, and stars fall to the earth, mimicking the imagery of a fig tree shedding its fruit in a strong wind.
27:25
SPEAKER_00: Geological upheaval, a great earthquake occurs, moving every mountain and island from its place.
27:30
SPEAKER_00: Atmospheric disruption, the sky splits apart and recedes like a scroll being rolled up.
27:35
SPEAKER_00: Human terror, people from all levels of society, kings, rich, free slaves, hide in caves, asking for the rocks to hide them from the wrath of the lamb.
27:45
SPEAKER_00: Divine wrath, it is described as the beginning of the end time judgment of God, making the start of the final intervention before Jesus Christ returns.
27:53
SPEAKER_00: Prophetic imagery, the events are often interpreted as literal physical disasters or symbolic representations of political and spiritual collapse.
28:02
SPEAKER_00: The end of the world, many interpretations place the seal just before the final consummation of history and the return of Jesus.
28:09
SPEAKER_00: And don't get lost on the word just before, because we still have seven trumpets and seven bowl to go through, and then the millennial on top of all of that.
28:18
SPEAKER_00: Don't forget Armageddon.
28:20
SPEAKER_00: Connection to other prophecies.
28:22
SPEAKER_00: It is closely linked with the seven trumpets and seven bowl judgments, which also feature massive world altering earthquakes.
28:30
SPEAKER_00: The fifth seal connection.
28:32
SPEAKER_00: The sixth seal follows the cry of the martyrs and the fifth seal, representing the answer to their plea for justice.
28:38
SPEAKER_00: Jeepers, Scooby Doo, that's a lot of bad stuff coming our way.
28:41
SPEAKER_00: Wait, who is the hour in that sentence?
28:44
SPEAKER_00: The church because she is not yet scheduled to be raptured.
28:47
SPEAKER_00: On to the seventh seal.
28:49
SPEAKER_00: The seventh seal found in Revelation eight one is the final seal broken by Jesus the lamb in the Bible, initiating the climax of God's judgment.
28:57
SPEAKER_00: And I don't believe it's actually initiating the climax of God's judgment, because we still have the trumpets or the chauffeurs and the seven bowls to go through.
29:06
SPEAKER_00: It causes silence in the heaven for about half an hour, symbolizing a pause of awe and anticipation of impending divine judgment before the seven trumpets and bowls are released.
29:17
SPEAKER_00: Silence in heaven.
29:18
SPEAKER_00: Unlike the preceding seals which involved immediate activity, the seventh seal opened with a profound half hour of silence, often interpreted as a dramatic pause before the final most intense judgments, or the day of the Lord.
29:33
SPEAKER_00: The seal marks the completion of God's plan for humanity and directly introduces the seven trumpets and bowls, which are seen in the subsequent judgments.
29:42
SPEAKER_00: Context of prayers after the silence, seven angels are given seven trumpets, and another angel offers incense, representing the prayers of the saints on the golden altar.
29:52
SPEAKER_00: Significance it is interpreted as a final act leading to the destruction of the incorrigibly wicked and end of ungodly rule, and the culmination of the redemption story.
30:03
SPEAKER_00: And this is where we won't be around as a church.
30:06
SPEAKER_00: I'm just saying that again, and this is where we won't be around as a church.
30:10
SPEAKER_00: Stick with me and I'll explain all of this in finite detail.
30:14
SPEAKER_00: But I'll do so quickly.
30:15
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so are we still here?
30:17
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
30:18
SPEAKER_00: I thought we were to escape the wrath of God.
30:20
SPEAKER_00: We are, and now we poof into the air as the seven trumpets, or more aptly called the seven shofars, which speaks of God's audience as Jewish, not the church.
30:32
SPEAKER_00: And the seven bowls.
30:34
SPEAKER_00: So are we out just in the nick of time, right before the divine judgments?
30:38
SPEAKER_00: I know I know.
30:39
SPEAKER_00: Many of us thought that we would be out of here before anything so radical as to what is coming down the pike.
30:44
SPEAKER_00: I mean we still have the completion of the war horse and two more horses to manifest their job description along with the remaining three seals.
30:52
SPEAKER_00: So for the non rapturist, this is perfect as you wanted to preach to a lost world that will be suffering greatly, and we will be too right along with them.
31:01
SPEAKER_00: Only we have God as our answer, and we will not have to be here for the final fourteen judgments.
31:06
SPEAKER_00: So the timeline is so far as events that take place and in what order, not when they will take place, although don't be a doofus, as they are already taking place.
31:15
SPEAKER_00: So we are on and in the end time timeline.
31:18
SPEAKER_00: The birth pangs, as described in Matthew chapter twenty four and Luke chapter twenty one, begin in Revelation chapter six, beginning with the opening of the first seal.
31:29
SPEAKER_00: We could essentially say that the birth pangs are represented by the seven seals.
31:33
SPEAKER_00: Boom, then the rapture, which happens with the completion of the events associated with the seventh seal, which is just after chapter eight, verse five in Revelation.
31:45
SPEAKER_00: To bump up a bit and use a simple timeline without explanation, we have the following birth pangs equals seven seals to the rapture, to the tribulation, to the shofars, to the seven bowls, to the second coming of Christ, to the millennium, to the white throne judgment.
32:03
SPEAKER_00: I'll say that again because I know you want to hear it again.
32:05
SPEAKER_00: Birth pangs equals the seven seals to the rapture.
32:10
SPEAKER_00: Then we have the tribulation, and within that tribulation, we have the seven shofars, which go to the seven bowls.
32:18
SPEAKER_00: And we have the second coming of Christ, which goes to the millennium, and then to the white throne judgment.
32:23
SPEAKER_00: Some sprinkly details.
32:25
SPEAKER_00: The seven seals occur before the tribulation.
32:28
SPEAKER_00: I'll say that again.
32:29
SPEAKER_00: The seven seals occurs before the tribulation.
32:32
SPEAKER_00: And we know this because seal number two has been open and seal number three is coming.
32:38
SPEAKER_00: The seven shofars occur in the first three and a half years of the tribulation.
32:43
SPEAKER_00: The seven bowls occurs during the last three and a half years of the Great Tribulation.
32:48
SPEAKER_00: Yes, the second half of the tribulation is far worse than the first half.
32:53
SPEAKER_00: Now, so but we authentically born again Christians who are a hundred percent all in for the things of God and didn't play religion, thinking God wouldn't take notice, will be on this planet, barring death, of course, throughout the seven seals, but not the seven shofars or bowls.
33:10
SPEAKER_00: Some well, maybe additional helps that I picked up from my resources.
33:15
SPEAKER_00: The seven seals equals the pre-trib signs for the church.
33:20
SPEAKER_00: The seven shofars equals the first three and a half years of the tribulation, which is for the Jews.
33:26
SPEAKER_00: This is not to say that make believers, fake believers, non-believers, or those stuck in the valley of indecision won't be going through the tribulation.
33:35
SPEAKER_00: They will.
33:36
SPEAKER_00: The seven bulls equals the great tribulation event, which is for the Muslims.
33:41
SPEAKER_00: Oh, but now you see the significance of the four horse colored flags, right?
33:45
SPEAKER_00: Other helpful tips as you read through the book of Revelation is to consider that it is written in timeline format.
33:52
SPEAKER_00: It is progressive revelation.
33:54
SPEAKER_00: So now but listen, chapters four and five and fourteen through fifteen are shifts from earth to heaven.
34:02
SPEAKER_00: The end of chapter three connects to the beginning of chapter six without interruption.
34:07
SPEAKER_00: And but also the end of chapter thirteen connects to the beginning of chapter sixteen without interruption.
34:13
SPEAKER_00: Try reading through the book of Revelation, excluding chapters four and five, and fourteen and fifteen, and see if you get any new revelation.
34:22
SPEAKER_00: And then you can also read chapters four and five and fourteen through fifteen, excluding the rest of the chapters, to see if you also might get a better understanding of what the book of Revelation is saying in terms of what's going on in heaven.
34:35
SPEAKER_00: Remember it is written without flaws, but this is just another technique in your reading style to gain a different perspective.
34:42
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so that's a wrap.
34:43
SPEAKER_00: Lots of folks thought we would be avoiding all of the trouble, but that truly is not realistic, a thought that some of the no rapture folks got right, meaning God would still have his church doing church stuff until one third of the way through the rough stuff.
34:56
SPEAKER_00: Will we be going through the tribulation?
34:59
SPEAKER_00: No.
34:59
SPEAKER_00: But it is going to get rough beforehand, and you and I will have plenty of opportunities to prove our loyalty and faith in and to and through God.
35:08
SPEAKER_00: Do not fret, we were born for this.
35:10
SPEAKER_00: Yes, God handpicked you to be a part of the end time gig in which he will show himself great good God gloriously glorious.
35:18
SPEAKER_00: Heaven is just around the corner.
35:20
SPEAKER_00: Now a word of caution, and then I be out.
35:23
SPEAKER_00: Now is not the time to ignore all of the end time signs and take your Christianity for granted.
35:28
SPEAKER_00: It could be the mistake of all eternity for you.
35:30
SPEAKER_00: We Christian of these days have a great part to play in the theater of earth.
35:35
SPEAKER_00: No one can do you but you.
35:37
SPEAKER_00: Do not let fear of what may come overwhelm you.
35:41
SPEAKER_00: Do not let the news media fill your mind with impossibilities and half truths.
35:45
SPEAKER_00: Turn it off.
35:46
SPEAKER_00: Remember who was back of it all.
35:48
SPEAKER_00: The Antichrist is moving through unsuspecting people to carry out his end time plan that has been in play for possibly all of time.
35:56
SPEAKER_00: It boils down to him, who is powerless against us, and us doing our job to rescue those make believers, fake believers, non-believers, and those stuck in the valley of indecision who were or are captured by Satan to do his will.
36:12
SPEAKER_00: The demonstration of the power gospel is the key that will set them free, and that is our job.
36:17
SPEAKER_00: If things happen on U.S.
36:19
SPEAKER_00: soil, we stick to the task at hand.
36:21
SPEAKER_00: If things change, such as food supply shortages, financial struggles, pestilence, diseases, or weird sicknesses, we are to do our job.
36:31
SPEAKER_00: Regardless.
36:32
SPEAKER_00: Almost finished.
36:33
SPEAKER_00: Read your Bible and do not think you can begin doing it at the sound of sirens and overhead jets.
36:39
SPEAKER_00: Get it in you.
36:40
SPEAKER_00: The devil will do everything he can to have that book censored and removed because he knows it is what refuels the active believer.
36:47
SPEAKER_00: He knows it is our supply animal and that we need it as a primary logistical supply.
36:52
SPEAKER_00: If you feel weak in the knees after hearing such a message, it is no doubt the Holy Spirit lovingly urging you to go deeper in the things of God.
37:01
SPEAKER_00: Think about the intense training our military people go through to be battle ready at the drop of a hat.
37:07
SPEAKER_00: Well, the hat dropped for us Christians.
37:10
SPEAKER_00: Are you ready?
37:11
SPEAKER_00: If things drastically change like they did for the people of Israel or Iraq, every day is pressure for those who depend on stability.
37:18
SPEAKER_00: Can you handle instability and still be found standing in the midst of chaos, loving, serving, and preaching the gospel in power?
37:27
SPEAKER_00: I remind everyone, you can find greater details about what I have shared in the following book titled The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, The Greatest Warning of the Next Ten Years, written by Steve Sialani.
37:38
SPEAKER_00: Let's close in prayer.
37:39
SPEAKER_00: May the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, so that he may establish your arts blameless in holiness before your God and Father at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
37:50
SPEAKER_00: Now may the God of peace, the one in whom we call wonderful, counselor, mighty God, everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, may He Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
38:03
SPEAKER_00: To our Lord of Lords and our King of Kings, to our high and lifted up great high priest, who has, once and for all, paid the price, that you might see and hear God.
38:12
SPEAKER_00: May He hear and respond to our prayers.
38:14
SPEAKER_00: To our God we stand and pray, as He too always lives to make intercession for you while seated at the right hand of the Father.
38:21
SPEAKER_00: May the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you what is well pleasing in his sight.
38:33
SPEAKER_00: Through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever.
38:36
SPEAKER_00: In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
38:38
SPEAKER_00: Well that's it for today.
38:39
SPEAKER_00: Remember, it's not what you find wrong or disagree with regard in these messages, but what you can take away from it.
38:45
SPEAKER_00: Together we can do more to impact the kingdom than if we work alone.
38:48
SPEAKER_00: Let's flip the script and kill, still, and destroy the works of the enemy and create space for the light of lights to shine through into people's lives.
38:54
SPEAKER_00: Plant a seed and click on the like and subscribe button.
38:57
SPEAKER_00: Link this message out, or teach from it in your Bible study, your life or cell group.
39:02
SPEAKER_00: And yes, even in your church.
39:04
SPEAKER_00: You can be assured it comes from one call to teach, and though imperfect, you have the word of God to use to test everything I say.
39:10
SPEAKER_00: Let's build this ministry together.
39:12
SPEAKER_00: Thanks to see you next time in Deep Waters.
