04 17 2025 The Harlot Is Judged · Your Daily Portion with L. David Harris

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: today and receive the power we need to live healthy.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Vibrant lives.

• 0:54
  Speaker 2: caption for today is the Harlot is Judged. That sounds harsh,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: but it's not. The Harlot is Judged. We'll get into
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: that in just a moment, but first I'd like to
• 1:06

• 1:44
  Speaker 2: ahead and pray and then we will get underway. Father,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: we thank you for giving us this new day and
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: for the opportunity to continue in your word. And I'm
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: asking you, Lord to please make us faithful to you,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: make us holy, make us faithful in Jesus' name. I pray,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Amen and Amen again. I think it was yesterday that
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I said to you that the person who has the
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: most influence over my life is my wife, Simone. We're
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: married almost twenty four years, thank God, and these are
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: great years, thank God. But sometimes there are people who
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: are married who don't take their connection with their spouses
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: very seriously, or maybe get lackadaisical about the relationship and
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: then unfortunately commit adultery. Right, I don't have the time
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: to really drill that. But that is the reality. That
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: is the reality. And in that case, that degrades the relationship,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: that impacts the people who were observing the relationship, and
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: it also impacts our children, our offspring are negatively impacted
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: when we God forbid if we in a in a
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: marital relationship commit adultery. Okay. And so in this Bible
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: passage in Revelation chapter nineteen, we see something very interesting,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: and the lesson writer poses it this way. Two things
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: are celebrated simultaneously. The end of the Harlot. Wait a minute,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: That is the bride who turned away from God, the
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: people of God who decided that they wanted to replace
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the relationship that God intended for us and with something
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: that is completely opposite of him and blasphem us, and
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: to just transform this relationship into something God never intended,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: that harlot, that harlot, and then the marriage of Christ
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: to his bride. We're talking about the faithful people of God.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: How is it possible that both events are actually demonstrations
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: of God's righteousness and the loving character of God God
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: both in at the same time. Now, that's a good question.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: We're going now to the Bible Book of Revelation, chapter nineteen.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to allow my audio bible. My favorite
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: one faith comes by hearing is the ministry. They have
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: the best audio bibles in my mind to read this
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: aloud to us Revelation chapter nineteen, and I will read,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: and it will read. Pardon me. Beginning at verse.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: One, Revelation nineteen. And after these things, I heard a
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: great voice of much people in heaven, saying salvation and
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Glorian honor and horror to the Lord our God.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: For true and righteous are his judgments. For he hath.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Judged the great horror which did corrupt the earth with
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: her phonication, and hath a bench the blood of his
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: servants at her hand. And again they said, a.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Man loui and her small drows up forever and ever.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: fell down and worshiped God that sat on the throne, saying, a.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Man a loui'ah.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: And the voice came out of the throne saying.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: fear him, both small and great.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: And I heard, as it were the voice of a
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: I Louia. For the Lord God omnipotent reigna. Let us
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: be glad and rejoice and give honor to him. For
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: the marriage of the Lamb is come. And his wife
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: hath made herself ready, and to her was granted that
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: For the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: he saith, unto me.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Right, blessed are they which are called unto the marriage
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: supper of the Lamb. And he saith, oh my, oh my.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Now we are ushered into the presence of God. We're
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: ushered into a worship scene in Revelation chapter nineteen in Heaven,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: and I'm thankful because it shows us how much God
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: values right relationship with him. You see, anything that gets
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: in the way of right relationship with God has to
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: be destroyed. Can I just say that again? It sounds
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: it sounds harsh to people who are not able to
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: hear well. Anything that gets in the way of right
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: relationship with God needs to be destroyed. Yes, And so
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: the marriage that God intended for his people after the judgment,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: we're saying, now God's people. Unfortunately, Adam and Eve both sinned.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Eve fell into sin. She was deceived. Adam jumped into sin.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: He knew exactly what he was doing in a special way, unfortunately,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: but he jumped into sin. Both of them were naked, ashamed.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: They naked ashamed, and they covered themselves with fig leaf
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: of righteousness. That's human human self righteousness. And that is
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: where this problem began. When humans begin to cover our
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: sins rather than to confess our sins, knowing that God
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, then we are now
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: separating ourselves from holiness, separating ourselves from the tree of life.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: We are embracing harl try. Of course, the church, the
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: church in modern era, has demonstrated, unfortunately, the false church,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: that they don't want to be in right relationship with God.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: They would rather replace God, They would rather take Jesus
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: off of his throne. They would rather seek to change
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: times in his holy Law, which he, by the way,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: is written in our hearts and in our minds. And
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: so that has to be destroyed, that paradigm has to
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: be destroyed, so that the genuine, eternal pulse of love
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: can reverberate through the universe, throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: And so now we can see the dual demonstration of
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: God's character. First justice, that is righteousness. According to Psalms
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: chapter ninety seven and verse two, we see righteousness and
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: judgment are the habitation of his throne. And so he
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: has to eliminate sin. He has to put evil at
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: its end. He has to serve justice and truth must
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: be vindicated. And of course we see love. We see
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: love in First John chapter four and verse eight. Very simply,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: God is love, and so this shows perfect union with
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: God's people, perfect relationship, pure relationship, eternal fellowship and complete restoration.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: And finally, both events reveal God's holiness. They reveal love
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: in triumph, truth's victory, and the removal of evil for
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: ultimate redemption. I'm thankful that God's character.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening to friends. Always remember we
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: comes from the mouth of God. This has been your
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: daily portion with el David Harris, make it a great day.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah,
