The Revelation of Yahushua the Messiah, Which God Gave Unto Him, to Shew Unto His Servants

Transcript:

[00:04] All right. Sabbath peace. Sabbath peace. Go ahead, Ezra. It's another opportunity for us to come [00:09] together and hear and learn of the word of truth as given to us by the most high God. All honor goes to the father [00:15] through the son whose name is Yahushua. In him lies the only hope for salvation. We know that it is obtained by grace [00:22] through faith, not of works, lest anyone should boast, and given freely as a gift to all who obey him. We understand that [00:28] if you do not obey him, it is made manifest or made obvious that you do not believe. In this state, you should [00:35] expect no good thing from the most high. However, anything that you do get, whether it be a gift of tongues, a gift [00:41] of prophecy, or any supernatural experience that you may have, it can and it will be used against you in the day [00:47] of judgment. With that said, peace to the saints that are in the room, to the saints that couldn't make it, to the [00:52] saints in the chat, to the saints watching on the camera, to the saints scattered around the world that we don't even know about. No peace to the wicked. [00:59] The only thing we say to them is repent that they might live. [01:07] Alrighty. Well, first the first thing I'd like to do, my mom is back here again. So, first thing I'd like to do is apologize to everybody who who was [01:13] watching our last Bible study. I did not hold my mother up with the proper honor [01:19] and for that I was wrong. For that uh we'll make sure that never happens again. Now I want all of y'all to [01:26] understand I apologize uh not only to her but to everybody about that. Today we are going to cover Revelations, the [01:32] book of Revelations. And uh there's a lot to cover. There's a I mean it goes from it goes from [01:42] uh you know chapter one all the way to chapter 22, right? But you have to think [01:47] of what Revelations really is, right? Revelations is [01:53] it's almost like the greatest of like the greatest hits. It's like now 18, you [01:58] know what I mean? Where it takes all the songs for the year, the hits of the year, and puts them on one CD, right? [02:06] That's what Revelations is in a way. It it it takes many of the prophecies that [02:12] we've read about over the last how many years have we been doing this? It's be about three years, four years. This is [02:19] Pam. No, I remember Pam. You remember how many years? How many years we've been on it? We've gone from Genesis this [02:25] last route for it's been taking us a very long time because we've t we paced it out and we reading chapter by [02:30] chapter. There's not a whole lot that we skipped, right? So, it's taken a very long time for us to get here. But over [02:37] this last, I think three or four years, all the prophecy that we've seen is kind [02:42] of jumbled up in Revelation and and and and highlighted in a way that kind of [02:48] sequences it some of it, right? Where you can kind of cuz when we a lot of prophecy you read like in Isaiah, it [02:54] feels out of place. You don't know what the order is. You don't know what you read. You're just reading something and it feels random. What Revelation does in [03:00] a way is it sequences it for you. It lets you know this happens and this happens. And if you're familiar enough [03:06] with what the prophecy is, then you'll know that, oh, when it's talking about [03:13] this quote, this came from Isaiah or this is what Jeremiah was talking about. This came from Ezekiel, right? And all [03:19] the pro Micah, Malachi, all the different prophets. So, we going to try to cover, we not going to touch every [03:24] one of them because we'll probably be here all day, right? But we will try to cover and take our time to go through [03:31] our goal at the end of this is for us. Is it only three years? I thought about four years. Sister Pam say it's about [03:38] three years. That's a long time. That's a long time. Right? That's how long it take to really to thoroughly teach [03:45] what's in the scripture. Right? And I want y'all to know that the most high God is good to us to even allow us to do [03:51] this to to even give us an opportunity to break things down and go through it line by line. There's stuff y'all might [03:58] y'all might sleep on on what you know about this book, what you remember from [04:03] this book, but I assure you if you go talk to the average Christian, Muslim, [04:08] Hebrew, Israelite, they not going to be able to keep up with what you know. And this might only be your first or second [04:13] time reading it because you you really there's not very many people that will take the time and go through the book. [04:20] And I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about you. I'm talking about y'all, right? for y'all to take the time and sit and actually go through it. [04:28] There's not very many people that that that will sit through it, right? There's not very many people that year after [04:33] year read the Bible, right? So that's a glory of the most high God. The book tell us if we glory [04:39] in anything, glory in our knowledge of the most high God, right? That's a glory of the most high God, how much we know [04:45] him. This is uh this is Revelation 1 verse one. [04:52] Revelation 1 verse one. [05:04] The revelation of Yahosua the Messiah, which God gave unto him to show unto his servants things which must shortly come [05:11] to pass. And he sent and signified it by his He said things that m must what? [05:16] Shortly come to pass. Uhoh. Let's see. Keep going. and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his [05:22] servant John who bear record of the word of God and of the testimony of Yahosua. [05:27] Right? So this the same John that we read about last week. This is the same John that wrote uh the Gospel of John, [05:34] right? Keep going. You're a mama's boy and a grandmama's boy. That's that that's that's crazy. I don't know if you [05:39] know that's crazy. Never. That's crazy. That's crazy is all I'm saying. A mama's [05:46] boy and a grandmama's boy at the same time. I'm I'm trying to see. I'm You might try to lay across both of them at [05:53] the same time. That's crazy. Aariah, come look at this. [05:59] That's hate. Let's see what we got. What up? Who bear [06:05] record of the word of God and of the testimony of Yahosua and of all things that he saw. [06:11] Mhm. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep these things which [06:17] are written therein. He's a grandmama's boy. Look at him laying on the grandma. You'll be ashamed of yourself. Tell me how to be ashamed [06:23] of you. Tell them you'll be ashamed of yourself. I'll tell them for you. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. [06:28] That's hate. We weren't even talking about them. Keep going. Watch this. and from Yahosua, who is the faithful [06:35] witness and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth, unto him that loved us, and [06:41] washed us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his father. [06:47] He's made us what? Kings and priests. What is that? What is that talking about? [06:52] Talking about kings and priests. Where where would we get that from? Moses. [06:57] Moses. What did Moses tell us? of royal what he said royal priesthood. [07:04] Let's get it real quick. We can't remember it. This is uh Exodus chapter 19 real quick. We got a lot to cover. [07:09] This is Exodus chapter 19. Go ahead and keep your thumb or bookmark or whatever. Go back. We about to be flipping pages. [07:15] The quicker we can flip them, the quicker we can go through it. Right. This is Exodus chapter 19 verse uh [07:24] we just we just went over this too. I think it's let me get let me see verse 11 because I can't remember. [07:30] Verse 11 might be a little early. It's Exodus chapter 19 verse 11 is what [07:36] we going to try. Then we going right back to Revelation 1. [07:43] Uh you said 19. Yep. Exodus chapter 19 verse 11. [07:49] And be ready against the third day. For the third day Yahweh will come down in the sight of all the people upon Mount Si. [07:55] Uh-huh. And you shall set bounds uh unto the people round about, saying, Take [08:01] heed to yourselves, that you go not up to the mount, or touch the border of it. Whosoever touches the mount shall be put [08:06] to death. There shall not a hand touch it, that surely be stoned or shot through, whether it be beast or man, it [08:12] shall not live. And the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mount. Moses went down from the mount unto [08:19] Maybe it's before that. Hold on. Maybe it's before 11. Is it like is it five? maybe [08:33] uh yeah 6 verse 6 verse 6 this is uh this is Exodus chapter 19 verse 6 watch what the book [08:40] says and you shall be unto me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation a kingdom of priests what does that make [08:47] it and a holy nation and a holy nation right what does that make if we're a kingdom of priest What [08:54] does that make us? Well, I don't know. John going to tell us. Watch this. Let's go back. This Revelation chapter 1 where [08:59] we leave off verse 6. This Revelations 1 verse 6. [09:09] Right, Moses, the most high God told Moses at the very front. He told him, [09:14] "I'm going to make you a kingdom of priests. Keep that in your mind." That [09:21] means something, right? We about to we about to break a lot of this stuff down. Some of this stuff y'all have never [09:27] heard ever. Some of this stuff y'all have heard, right? We're going to try to break down as much of it as we can. And [09:34] we're going to put everything into perspective. What I hope we can do here is not going to be a whole bunch of guessing about, oh, this is what this [09:41] means in Revelations. What we're going to do is prove it out using scripture. We going to let the scripture tell you [09:47] what the scripture mean. So when Moses told us he he or told when the most high [09:52] God told Moses and Moses then related to us that we would be a kingdom of [09:58] priests. Right now we know what uh John [10:03] is talking about in Revelation. This is Revelation 1:6. And he has made us kings and priests [10:08] unto God his father. To him be glory and dominion forever. Amen. Uh-huh. Behold, he comes with clouds, [10:14] and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him, and all kindreds of the earth shall whail because of him. [10:20] Even so, amen. Even so, amen. Keep going. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and [10:26] the ending, saith Yahwh, which is which is and which was and which is to come, [10:31] the Almighty. I, John, was also am who is also am your brother in companion and [10:37] tribulation. and in the kingdom and patience of Yahosua the Messiah was in the island that is called Patmos for the [10:44] word of God and the for the testimony of Yahosua the Messiah. I was in the spirit of the on the Lord's [10:49] day and heard and heard behind me a great voice of a trumpet saying I am [10:54] Alpha and Omega the first Y'all got to get the picture though like make sure we get it. He was in the [10:59] spirit and he said on Yahweh's day, right? What is Yahwh's day? [11:07] Through all throughout the prophecy, what do we hear about? Day of Yahweh is darkness and not light. [11:12] The day of Yahwh. So, get the picture. He was in like in the the end of the [11:21] world is what he what what he's pretty much saying. But at that point, he was in the presence of Yahweh. [11:29] Right? Keep going. And then he heard a a voice like a trumpet. So now you got to picture a horn blowing, loud, deep, [11:38] right? That's what the voice sound like. Powerful, loud, reverberating. Right? He [11:45] heard a voice that was like a trumpet. Imagine everything we about to read. Right? Keep going. [11:51] I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. And what you see, write in the book, and send it unto the seven [11:57] congregations which are in Asia. Okay? Unto Ephesus, unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thotyra, unto Sardis, [12:05] and unto Philadelphia, okay? And unto Leodysia. And I turned to see the voice that spake [12:10] with me. And be and being turned, I saw golden candlesticks. Okay? And in the midst of the seven [12:16] candlesticks, one like unto the son of man, clothed with a garment down to the [12:22] foot, and gird about the paps with a golden girdle. We don't have to get it, but when he says, "One like unto the son of man," [12:30] what is that a reference to? Didn't Daniel have a prophecy that says, [12:36] "I saw one like unto the son of man." What does that mean? one like unto the [12:42] son of man or one like a human being. Somebody who look like a human being, [12:48] right? Why would it be why would a person say something like that, right? Why would they say why wouldn't they [12:53] just say, "Hey, that's a human coming down. That's a man coming down." Why wouldn't why would they say someone like [12:59] a human being? Spirits and the angels in the the the [13:04] world that we cannot see normally. They don't look like you do. [13:10] Not only that, if you see something coming out of the sky, that's what Daniel saw. Remember his prophecy was, [13:17] "I saw one like unto the son of man in the clouds, coming in the clouds." If [13:22] you see a human being, you ain't never seen nobody fly. Like nowadays, you [13:28] might see somebody riding a drone or got a jetpack when they testing out some stuff like we've seen some crazy stuff. [13:34] We got movies and stuff all that that that make it appear like somebody flying. So our mindset might be [13:40] different now. He's never seen nobody. Nobody has ever talked about, imagined, [13:45] played around with somebody's flying in the air. But in his vision, he sees one [13:51] that look like a human being. But the man is flying in the clouds. That got to [13:56] be a god or that got to be an angel or that got to be something special. So he's saying although I know this ain't [14:03] no regular human being cuz I've never seen a human being do this is something that look like a human being. So his [14:09] prophecy he's trying to describe what he's seeing. I saw something that look [14:14] like a human. It can't be though because it's flying on a cloud. That doesn't [14:21] make sense. But it sure does look like a regular guy and he's coming down on a [14:26] cloud. So now that's what Daniel prophesied. Now [14:31] who who's familiar? John is familiar with this prophecy. He says, "I see one [14:38] light." In other words, I'm seeing what Daniel saw. Watch this. [14:44] His head and his hairs were white like wool. So hold on. His head and his hair are [14:50] white like wool. There's going to be a lot of imagery that we talk about. Matter of fact, let's start off with [14:56] that, right? Let's start off with that. Let's start off with the imagery. [15:02] So, on the screen, those of y'all who are online, I hope you can see it on the [15:08] screen. I'm not going to make it big like I usually do, but there's a couple [15:13] things that I want y'all to try to remember. You know what I'm saying? If you on your computer, on your phone, [15:18] take a screenshot of it. I should have printed it out for everybody in the room, but try to remember these things, [15:24] right? The eyes that represents spirits. There's Bible verses down that we could [15:29] prove it out for the brevity of time. We're not going to go through it. Y'all can check it out on your own time. Eyes, [15:35] right, in scripture, when eyes is used as imagery, that represents spirits. [15:40] Horns, right, that represents kings, right? Each horn that we going to talk about represents a king. Mountains [15:48] represents lands or uh or mountains or you know like locations, right? Um [15:54] beasts represent systems, nations kind of think of like empires, right? Then [16:00] you have waters. Waters represent people just like waters is flood. A flood when [16:07] the Bible talks about a flood is representing the army, right? An army is coming. Again, there's verses for every [16:14] one of these where it pretty clearly tells you what it's talking about. Um, stars, those are representing heavenly [16:20] bodies. So, like celestial beings, which we would call angels, right? So, just, you know, they represent angels. Um, [16:27] candlesticks, which we just heard about. Remember, he saw the seven candlesticks that represented, he just told us the [16:34] seven congregations, right? So, the candlesticks represent congregations. [16:39] And then you have aromomas and odors. that represents the prayers of the saints. Right? So when you have aromas [16:46] and or odors, that represents the prayers of the saints. So I want us to [16:51] get this imagery in our head cuz this is going a lot of these are going to be referenced a lot when we start to when [16:57] we start to go through this book and go through a lot of this prophecy. We not going to get through anywhere near all the revelations today. It's going to [17:03] take us weeks and weeks and weeks to get through this. But we going to slow roll it. We going to take our time. We going to break all everything as much as we [17:09] can break down. As much as Yahweh has given to us, we going to break it down. Okay? So, get a picture of it. Take a [17:16] screenshot. You know what I'm saying? I'll put it on the screen for y'all us online one time to get a screenshot. Got [17:23] to get it quick, though. You got three, two, [17:29] one. All right. If you ain't got your screenshot, I'll send it out later. All [17:34] right. So now, now that we have the imagery, [17:39] read again what we talking about here. How did this one who looked like a human [17:44] being? In other words, a son of man. Remember, son of man means son of Adam. [17:50] Son of Adam mean a descendant of Adam. A descendant of Adam means you're of the same kind as Adam, which what which is [17:57] what we would call a human being right now. Okay. So there's one that's just [18:02] like Adam, right? Tell me what this one that looked like [18:08] Adam looks like. This is Revelation 1 verse what? 14. This Revelation 1:14. Watch this. [18:16] His head and his hairs were white like wool. Oh my goodness gracious. His head and [18:21] his hair, they were white as if they were wool. I'mma put some wool on the on [18:26] the screen here. Right. This is what wool looks like. Right. So his head and [18:33] his hair was white just like wool. Okay. What else? [18:41] And his feet wait sorry as white as snow. And his eyes were as a flame of [18:46] fire. Right. His eyes were like a flaming of fire. Right. Keep going. [18:54] And his feet like unto fine brass as if they burned in a furnace. Now the book says his feet was like fine brass. If [19:02] you look up the word there, the Greek word actually means copper, right? So [19:09] his his feet were like copper, right? But it was copper that was burned in a [19:15] fire. So I got a video here. I just want y'all cuz I don't want nobody think I'm lying making nothing up. This is what it [19:21] look like when you light copper up in a fire. [19:27] Right. This person about to light it up. I'm about to fast forward a little bit. [19:32] Right. They got it going. They going to pull it off. I'll make it big for everybody so y'all can see it. [19:44] Right. So, they pulled it off. Now, right now, it almost looks silver, don't it? Watch when he lay it down and get [19:49] that reflection off of it. Do you tell me what color this is when [19:55] he lay it down? [20:01] Right. If you can see that on your screen, it's kind of small for us, but if you can see that on your screen, you [20:06] can see, oh, that thing brown. Nice and brown. Because that's what copper looks [20:12] like when it's burned. It's darker even after you burn it on fire, right? It [20:18] gets even darker after you burn it on fire. And this is how this person who looked like a human being. This is what [20:23] his feet look like. His his hair was like wool, white as snow, [20:31] right? So this is what it's describing to us. Let's keep going. [20:40] And he had in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword. in his [20:46] he had seven what? Stars. What do the stars represent? Angels. Angels, right? So, seven stars. He had [20:54] seven angels that were in his hand. Right. Keep going. [21:02] And out of his mouth with a sharp two-edged sword, his countenance was as the sun shining in its strength. [21:08] Mhm. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, "Fear not. I am [21:15] the first and the last. I am he that lives and was dead and behold I am alive [21:20] forever more. So he lived, he was dead and now he's alive forever is what he's telling us. [21:26] Right. Keep going. Amen. And I have the keys of hell and death. Write the things which you have [21:32] seen. What does that mean? I have the keys of hell and death. I got the authority to send people here, [21:38] send people there, and I also have the authority to resurrect you. [21:44] Right? I have the authority to bring you back out of death. Right? If you went to [21:51] die, I can unlock that door and pull you out if I want. He has the keys. That is [21:57] important. That's the whole message, right? Close the book. That's the whole message. He has the keys to bring you [22:04] back from the dead. Like we learned that last week. If that is not our hope, if our hope is not the resurrection, that [22:12] is not the hope that John tells us that purifies us. Our hope has to be in the [22:18] resurrection, right? Remember, there are five pillars that uh uh that Paul told us about in [22:26] the book of Hebrews, right? Five pillars to what it means to be have the principles of our faith, right? The [22:32] basics of our faith, right? If you don't even have the basics, you not even like if the basics is just milk, right? And [22:40] we know from Paul in first Corinthians that if you only deal with milk, right, that means you're unskilled in the word. [22:46] That means you're carnal, right? You still you still worried about your flesh if you only deal with milk. So this is just the basic. This gets you in the [22:52] door. He said faith towards God and repentance from dead works, right? That's the first pillar. The next thing [22:58] is laying on of hands, which is like praying, right? That's the next pillar, right? The next one is uh baptism, [23:05] right? That's the next one. Then you have uh judgment and you have the [23:12] resurrection, right? Judgment and the resurrection. A lot of the stuff we spend our time, all these Hebrews are [23:18] like, "Oh, well, you know, you know what I'm saying? The Bible authorized polygamy. That's all y that y'all spend y'all time [23:25] on such stupid things when what we have to even get you in the door mean that [23:32] you ain't skilled with the word like just to get in the door you not skilled with the word. Y'all not even talking about that stuff. Y'all don't have it on [23:38] your mind. The Christians is they out here talking about a rapture right now. I think it was yesterday, right? A [23:43] Christian it wasn't yesterday they talking about the rapture. I think it was yesterday. The last two days they've been sitting there and some of these [23:49] people dead serious. They think the rapture about to they thought it's some Christian that let off a message saying [23:56] a rapture is going to happen on whatever days it was. They gave him a date and everything. Had the whole world in a [24:01] frenzy on Tik Tok. If you ain't got a Tik Tok, you can dodge, right? The people on Tik Tok and then it bled over [24:07] into Yeah, I ain't on Tik Tok. But it bled over into Twitter. That's my spot. So when it bled over Twitter, I'm looking like what in the world is these [24:14] people talk about? Then I had friends, you know, anything Bible related, anything happened in Israel, anything [24:20] bomb start going off and anything somebody talk about the rapture, they start texting me. You know what I'm saying? So, have you have you seen this [24:26] video? You know what I'm saying? Do you think do you think this is going to So, I got like seven text messages, like [24:32] three three shares on the thing. Just what what do you think about this? I have to watch. Now, luckily they short [24:38] video. You remember back in the day, they used to send us the videos. They'd be sending us twohour video. But my pastor teach just like y'all. Here, [24:44] watch this video. Tell me what you think. Like, man, I ain't got time to, you know what I'm saying? But like the one minute Tik Tok video, oh, I can [24:50] quickly tell you they full of crap. You know what I'm saying? It don't take me no time. Let me watch. I can do that and do something. Oh, yeah. No, they full of [24:56] crap, right? But that's what they said. They thought the rapture was about to happen because they don't understand the [25:02] book. They spend this time talking about stuff that does not matter, right? They [25:08] don't It just does not matter. Let's talk about the topics that the most high God put in front of us. Let's talk about [25:15] the man having the keys to death and hell, which means he has the keys, which [25:21] means he can bring you out of death if he wants to, or he can leave you in [25:27] there if he wants to. Though that's all his authority. So understand, when the [25:33] book tells you that he died for the whole world, that's not a joke. He died [25:38] for everybody. The ones that's going to obey him and not obey him. But by having [25:43] the keys, it is everybody that he has. Anybody in this world that he want to, [25:49] he can unlock the keys and bring you back from life. Anybody he want to. He [25:54] told you who he going to do it for. We don't have to get it. But he told you in where did he tell us? He told us in John [26:02] chapter 15. John chapter 15 somewhere around [26:07] verse probably I don't know 20 21 maybe something like that he says there is no greater love than a man die for his [26:14] friends and he said you are my friend if what what was his condition once a guy [26:20] always got a condition what was his condition how are we his friend if you do whatever I command [26:25] he said if you do whatsoever I command you so he tells you who he's going to unlock the the the gate for he will [26:32] unlock it and bring you back from death if you obey him. If you don't, then you going to sit there. Let's talk about it. [26:38] Let's keep going. This this one that's just like the son of man. He got nappy white hair and he brown just like copper [26:45] after it's been burnt. And then the man got eyes that's like fire. He got when he speak, it's like a double-edged sword [26:52] that come out. Let's keep talking about this man. Write the things which you have seen, the things which are and the [26:58] things which shall be hereafter. the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand and the seven golden [27:04] candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven congregations. So he told you these are the angels of [27:11] the seven congregation. He told you what the stars meant. The stars are the angels of the seven congregations. [27:19] Let's keep going. And the seven candlesticks which thou saw are the seven congregations. The book of Enoch, we don't have to get [27:25] it, but the book of Enoch, it also talks about seven angels, right? It talked about seven angels that run the whole [27:32] show, right? I can't remember their name. Not even about to try to act like I can remember, but I know one of them [27:37] is Micael and one of them is uh Raphaim. Raphael. Yeah, Raphael. [27:42] Yeah. Keep going. Unto the angel of the congregation of Ephesus, right, these things says he [27:48] that hold the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks. [27:53] I know thy works and thy labor and thy patience, and how you cannot bear them which are evil. And you have tried them [27:59] which say they are apostles and are not and has found them liars and has borne and has patience and for my name's sake [28:07] has labored and has not fainted. Which congregation is this? Uh Ephesus. Ephesus. Right. So you see on the map [28:13] there is Ephesus. Let me make this you know what I'm saying? I'm going to make this a little bit smaller. I know y'all like seeing it, but you know what I'm [28:19] saying? I'm make this a little bit smaller. Uh so this is Ephesus, right? It's Ephesus right there at the at the [28:26] at the bottom there. Keep going. All this is in modern day Turkey. If you [28:32] pull up a map and look over where the Middle East is in between, they used to call it Eurasia. Back in the day when I [28:38] was going to school, they used to call this Eurasia. I used to be like that sound like the craziest name ever in [28:43] school, but they called it Eurasia. They don't call it that no more. Now they consider this part of the Middle East as [28:49] well, I think. But this is a a place called Turkey. All of these congregations that he's naming are in [28:56] present day Herky. I just want us to keep it keep that in mind because we gonna be revisiting things in this area [29:02] a lot. Keep going. Nevertheless, I have somewhat against thee because you have left thy first [29:09] love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen and repent and do the first works, or else I will come unto [29:14] you quickly and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, out of his place except you repent. [29:20] Mhm. But this thou hast, that thou has the deeds of the nicollesians, which I [29:26] also hate. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the spirit says unto the congregation. [29:31] To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. [29:38] And unto the angel of the congregation of Smyrna, write these things, said the first and the last, which was dead and [29:43] is alive. Mhm. I know thy works in tribulation and poverty, but thou art rich. And I know [29:49] the blasphemy of them that say they are Jews and are not, are the synagogue of Satan. Fear none of the fear none of [29:55] those things which thou shalt suffer. Behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried, and [30:01] ye shall have tribulation 10 days. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. He that has [30:08] an ear to hear, let him hear what the spirit says unto the congregation. Yeah, right. Yeah, that part you look at [30:14] it. He said, "Be faithful to when?" Yeah. He said, "Be faithful." Be faithful until, you know what I'm saying? You You [30:21] walk to the front of the church and say, "You know what? I'm saved until death." He said, "Be faithful until you feel [30:27] that feeling in your spine when they be singing in church. [30:32] It's onto death. It ain't no other way to do it. Nothing. It don't even count till you die." When Yahosua, look, [30:38] Yahosua lived his whole life. He walked around. He was faithful. And then he died. When did they say he was the son [30:45] of man? I mean son of God. After he died. After he died [30:51] after immediately after the man died. I mean immediately when he stopped breathing they said surely this was the [30:58] son of God. The same people that was sitting there mocking him and smacking him and making fun of him. Those same [31:04] people as as excuse me as soon as he stopped breathing looked at him was like, "Oh, oh, surely it don't count [31:11] until you die. Nothing you do count until you die." We read Hebrews. What did he say about [31:18] all these people that had great faith? What what what was the whole point of chapter 11 in Hebrews? [31:25] None of them saw what they was had faith in. They all died believing what they [31:31] were believing. every one of them die. The reason why it's difficult for a lot [31:37] of us to maintain our faith and that we so back and forth and wishy-washy is because we have some expectation that we [31:44] get it now. If you get that mess out of your head and just say I got to be faith it I [31:50] don't even I'm not even looking for s something nothing now. It changes how you believe. [31:55] Your hope has to be in the resurrection. Which mean to to have hope in the resurrection? To be resurrected, what [32:02] has to happen first? You got to die. We ain't even getting kicked until you [32:08] die. Keep going. Let's go. [32:14] What? We at chapter two now, right? It's chapter 2 verse what? Uh [32:21] yeah, it's chapter 2 verse 10. What does the book say? Hear none of those things which thou shalt suffer. Behold, the devil shall [32:26] cast some of you in a prison that you may be tried, and you shall have tribulation 10 days. Be faithful until [32:32] death, and I will give thee a crown of life. Uh-huh. He that has an ear, let him hear what the spirit says unto the congregation. [32:37] Okay? He that overcomes shall not be hurt of the second death. He that overcomes shall not be hurt of [32:44] the second death. How does that make sense? Cuz a man got the keys. He got [32:49] the key. He can unlock and be like, "No, you all right. That ain't going to touch you. Keep going. [32:54] And to the angel of the congregation in Pergamos, write these things say he which has the sharp sword with two [33:00] edges. I know thy works and where thou dwell where and even where Satan's seat [33:06] is. And where Satan's seat is and thou hold his f Hold on, hold on, hold on. He said, I [33:11] know thy works and where thy dwell. That is even where Satan's seat is is [33:19] what he's saying. So, which what congregation is this? Pergamos. [33:24] Pergamos. So, now we've learned where Satan's seat is said to be in a [33:31] place called Pergamos, right? Which is in northwest [33:38] Turkey. modernday northwest Turkey. This is about the area where um [33:46] where uh the Romans set up shop and where the uh what who came after the [33:52] Romans? Uh the Ottomans. You know what I'm saying? The Ottomans set up shop, right? [33:59] About the same area. He's telling you where Satan's seat is, right? Very [34:05] important because we gonna have to talk about this in a little bit. Keep going. So keep that in mind. Satan's seat [34:11] Pergamos. And thou holdest fast my name and has not denied my faith even in those days where Antipus was my faithful martyr who [34:19] was slain among you where Satan dwells. Mhm. But I have a few things against thee because thou hast there them that hold [34:25] the doctrine of Ba Ba Balen who taught Baleo to cast a stumbling block before [34:31] the children of Israel to eat things sacrificed unto idols and to commit fornication. So hast thou also them that [34:38] hold the doctrine of the niclatians, which thing I hate. Repent, or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will [34:44] fight against them with the sword of my mouth. He that has an ear to hear, let [34:49] him He that has an ear, let him hear what the spirit says unto the congregation. To him that overcomes will [34:54] I give to eat of the hidden mana, and will give him a white stone, and in the [35:00] stone a new name written, which no man knows, saving he that receives it. Mhm. [35:05] And unto the angel of the congregation at Thotyra, write these things says the son of God who has who has his eyes like [35:12] unto a flame of fire and his feet are like fine bras. Notice that he gives each congregation a [35:17] different attribute of itself. All right, keep going. I know thy works and thy charity and service and faith and thy patience and [35:25] thy works and the last to be more than the first. Notwithstanding, I have a few things [35:31] against thee, does thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophet test, to teach and to s seduce [35:37] my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrifice unto idols. Mhm. And I gave her space to repent of her [35:44] fornication, and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into [35:51] great tribulation, except they repent of her of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death, and all the [35:58] congregation shall know that I am he which searches the reigns in her hearts. And I will give unto every one of you [36:04] according to your works. But unto you, I say, and unto the rest in Thotyra, as many as not done this doctrine, as many [36:12] as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan as they speak, I will put upon you none [36:19] other burden, but that which ye have already hold fast till I come. Mhm. And he that overcomes and keeps my words [36:25] until the end, to him will I give power over the nations, and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of a [36:31] potter shall they be broken to shivers, even as I received of my father, and I [36:37] will give him the morning star. He that has an ear, let him hear what the spirit says into the congregation. [36:45] What chapter we we at the end of uh end of two? We going into chapter three. We [36:51] got a question about what this what this means. The the the congregation, we gonna get to the end and then we'll talk [36:57] about it a little bit. And unto the angel of the congregation of Sardis, write these things said he [37:02] that has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know thy works, that thou has a name that thou livest and are [37:09] dead. No. May Allah, [37:15] don't come over here no more. Be watchful and strengthen the things which remain that are ready to die. For [37:21] I have not found thy works perfect before God. Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard and hold fast [37:28] and repent. I therefore if therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come as a [37:33] thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. Thou hast a few names even in Sardis, [37:38] which have not defiled their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy. [37:45] He that overcomes, the same shall I clothe in white raignment, and I will not blot out his name out of the book of [37:51] life, but I will confess his name before my father and before his angels. He that has an ear, let him hear what the spirit [37:57] says unto the congregations. And to the angel of the congregation of Philadelphia, write these things, said [38:03] he that is holy, he that is true, he that has the key of David, he that opens [38:08] and no man shut. He that shut and no man opens. I know thy works. Behold, I have set [38:14] before thee an open door, and no man can shut it. For thou has a little strength, and has kept my word, and has not denied [38:19] my name. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie. Behold, I [38:26] will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. Because thou hast kept the word of my [38:32] patience. I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon the world, to try them that dwell [38:38] upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly. Hold that fast which thou hast, that no [38:43] man take thy crown. Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out, and I [38:50] will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is in New Jerusalem, [38:55] which comes down out of heaven from my God. It comes where? Comes down out of heaven from my God. So why do they keep teaching us that we [39:01] go to heaven? Oh no. Whole book tell us that heaven come to [39:07] us and and and and we get we be we we continuously taught that we go to [39:12] heaven, we die, we go to heaven, right? We think this stuff is is is like minuscule and doesn't matter. Not a big [39:19] deal. But it does. If the book tell you that your hope needs to be in the resurrection and the fact that this man [39:26] can bring you back from death. If that is the promise that he's given us, it is a big deal. If somebody's making you [39:32] believe you, you get zapped up into heaven, right? No. Heaven comes to us. [39:38] That's the promise is that it comes down. Yahosua comes down. Everything comes down. And we get in a blink of an [39:45] eye, we get changed if we alive. And if we in the ground, we get brought up from the ground. with all of our our our [39:52] matter being put that back together in a different form, right? And we will be [39:57] like him when we see him. Keep going. [40:08] Which in New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and I will write upon him my new name. He that has [40:14] an ear, let him hear what the spirit says unto the congregations. Mhm. And unto the angel of the congregation [40:19] of the leadyans, write these things, saith the amen, the faithful and true [40:24] witness, the beginning of the creation of God. I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot, I would that thou [40:31] work cold or hot. So then, because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. [40:37] Because thou sayest, I am rich and increase with goods, and have need of nothing, and knowest not that thou are [40:43] wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked. I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire that thou [40:50] mayest be rich in white raignnt that thou mayest be clothed that the shame of [40:55] thy nakedness do not appear and anoint thine eyes with eyesolve that thou may see as many as I love I rebuke and [41:03] chasen jealous therefore and repent behold I stand at the door and knock if [41:08] any man hear my voice and open the door I will come into him and will suck with him and he with me to him that overcomes [41:14] will I grant to sit with me in my throne even as I also overcame and am set down with my father in his throne. [41:20] He that has an ear, let him hear what the spirit says unto the congregation. [41:26] So now we about to go into chapter four. Let's talk about what this means and what this represents. Right? Our people, [41:33] right, the Hebrews, right, the Israelites, people of Judah, right? We [41:38] were scattered in different areas in the territories of Rome primarily. [41:45] This was one of the main territories of Rome, right, in Turkey, in the area of [41:50] modern day Turkey. This was one of the most popular territories of Rome. And it's still a very popular area, right? [41:57] It's still an area that's well populated and there's a lot of trade in between, right? Because it's a it's a land mass [42:04] that sits in between big o big land masses. So in other the trade from some [42:09] of the European countries, they got to go through Turkey to get over into Africa to get over into to to the Middle [42:15] East. So back back in earlier times, those types of land masses where you had [42:20] to go through them to trade very popular places. That's where everybody lives. Those are like the big cities, right? So [42:27] many of our people lived in that big city. Many of our people lived in those [42:33] big cities and and they were Israelites. They were foreigners in those lands. [42:40] Israelites nonetheless. So we had congregations, seven in particular that [42:45] that Yahosua is calling out here. There were congregations in these areas. Some [42:50] of these are the exact same congregations that Paul went to, right, and set some of these places up. But [42:57] these are not necessarily gentile congregations. Although there are some Gentiles in it, Yahosua is talking to [43:04] Israelites, right? And he's saying, "I know where y'all are." And he's talking to specific congregations during the [43:12] time that John was living and what they were going through. However, these [43:17] personalities and these attributes and these observations that he's making still apply today, right? There are [43:25] several things that you could look at in congregations that are still the same today. So it's not as though it can't [43:30] apply just as we know that Yahushua or Yahw when he had uh prophecy often [43:37] time the prophecy applied to multiple things right you have a prophecy that [43:42] that that applies to to some immediate event and then later on it applies again [43:48] right so there's always a double prophecy and some of this stuff represents as a double prophecy but I [43:55] want y'all to know there were seven congregations that were around where where John was and John was speaking to [44:02] those seven congregations that were in that time. Here's where it gets important and gets tricky, right? After [44:10] after the uh after the the the the Revelation book went out, you had the [44:16] Romans who began to attack Israelites in all different parts of town, especially [44:22] Israelites that held the belief that Yahosua was the Messiah. Right? This was [44:27] causing turmoil. We saw it with Paul. You remember Paul was getting into fights with other Israelites, with [44:33] Gentiles, and then the Gentiles strung them up and put them in jail in Rome. [44:38] Right? So that was happening at a large scale which led to a persecution where a [44:44] lot of our people were getting strung up, were getting hung on crosses. So that's the turmoil that Yahosua is [44:51] talking about when he's talking to John. He said, "Look, it's about to happen to y'all. It's about to happen to y'all and [44:58] I will protect some of y'all from it if you do what you what you supposed to do. So in some of these congregations, you [45:03] tell them I can keep you away from it. But that's what it's talking about. It's not talking about the end of the world. [45:08] It's talking about the end of their world at that time because it was a lot of dramatic things that happened [45:14] immediately after. A lot of people got killed. A lot of a lot of congregations got kicked in and ran down. It was a lot [45:20] of it was a huge attack on our people specifically. And I want y'all to know these were Israelites primarily. The [45:28] Gentiles weren't necessarily attacked. We about to start at 41. Yeah, we're [45:33] about to start Revelation 4:1 in a second. Right. Um but it was Israelites that were being attacked. That's [45:38] important to know. Gentiles were not. That's how Christianity is birthed, right? Christianity comes from the fact [45:46] that the Israelites who remember we were the face of this thing. We walked around [45:52] and we taught it and we could give the content. You see how Paul teach Paul don't teach from hey just love God and [45:59] that's all that matters. Right? What Paul teach from is no you should know [46:04] just like Abraham just like Moses. He he he put everything in context for the [46:10] Gentiles because he knew he had the history a lifelong history. He had the [46:16] culture a lifelong culture. He knew these Gentiles came from totally different areas. So what he did is he [46:21] provided the context as much as he could to make whatever point that he was making. And so as long as you have a a [46:27] Israelite teacher that's a good teacher, they're able to provide that context. [46:32] What happened is the Israelites began to be attacked, especially if you believed in the Messiah. They began to be [46:39] attacked by Rome. They strung them up and got him out of the way. So what does that leave? That leaves Paul's followers [46:46] that are that are Gentiles to say, "Well, I remember what Paul taught me and they start to teach it, but they [46:52] don't have the lifelong context. They don't have the culture. They don't have any of it." So then it turns into what what we see as Christianity today, [46:59] right? Because you move the true teachers out of the way, right? This is exactly how how Satan wanted it. It's [47:04] exactly how God wanted it too, right? you move the true teachers out of the way and then by doing that you're left [47:10] with the newer students with the young disciples who truly believed in what Paul was teaching who truly were [47:16] believers in the most high God but what happens when you pass that down to the next generation and then to the next [47:22] generation and then to the next generation right you lose the connection to the root of where it started to the [47:28] point now where many Christians say the Old Testament done away with don't even read the they got the little Bibles they [47:34] got the Psalm what is it Psalm Proverbs and the New Testament in fit fit in your [47:39] little pocket right here. That's all they got. They got the New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs. Fit in your little pocket. They walk around. That's good [47:45] enough. They call theirelves New Testament creatures, right? And that and that because of that [47:51] lost context, you can never understand what we about to read. The stuff there is it's I'm telling it's not possible to [47:58] understand the stuff we about to read if you don't understand the Old Testament. If you don't understand the prophecy, if you don't understand our law, it's not [48:04] possible. Right. So that is a brief version of the history. Right? This [48:10] turned into the Roman Catholic Church once you get all of the Israelites out [48:15] of the way and you're left with Gentiles that believe. And I want y'all to look into this history. That's exactly what [48:22] happened. They killed a bunch of Israelites. They had Israelites scared to even believe in the Messiah because [48:28] they knew they would get they would get the only Israelites that didn't get touched was the ones that did not [48:33] believe in the Messiah. So that's how you had a very strong and I'm talking about black people, a very strong group [48:39] of people who who served Yahwh but did not believe in the Messiah. So then [48:45] that's where Jewish people come from. The white Jews that live in Israel right now, they learned from them because then [48:50] we had a second wave and we'll get into that later, but we had a second wave that attacked all the Israelites and [48:56] pushed them down into Africa which then later turned into the slave trade. And then they whip our names out of us and [49:03] now we sitting here and we looking like we reading they Bible. Why do you think Why do you think the Indian people [49:08] didn't cling on to the Bible that the Christians gave them when in slavery? They tried to enslave the the Indians, [49:14] didn't they? Why they didn't cling on to the Bible? They gave us a lot of stuff too now. Why [49:21] didn't Why didn't we cling on to the Bible so easily and the Indians did? [49:27] Cuz the Bible was our story. our great greatgrandfathers, our great great grandfa uh mothers when they g [49:34] when they given this you calling them Jesus but we called him Yahushua you called them you call him Lord but we [49:41] called him Yahwh these are our story these you called him Moses we called him Moshe [49:48] right but the concept of what you're talking about is familiar to us we [49:53] didn't when they gave us the Bible we didn't look at that as some foreign thing that the white man gave us we looked at that as oh that's our story [50:00] y'all telling the goddess put the seed. We talk about that all the time, [50:05] right? If you dig into a lot of this what the slaves was singing when they when they got picked up [50:11] by don't do it like the white folk do it cuz white kumbaya my lord kumbaya where [50:17] you think the white folk got that song from that is a slave song. It ain't a negro [50:23] spiritual all this stuff they this is a this is what the slaves were doing. They're crying out to Yah. Do y'all know [50:31] who Yah is? That's Yahweh. How in the world would they know that? [50:36] Kumbaya. They trying to speak English. Come by Ya. Come get us. [50:43] Help us. They crying out to yah off of the boat. You think these people was [50:48] Muslims? They tried to make us believe that they roots. They try to make you believe they Muslims. You don't knock it [50:54] off. The Muslims are the ones that sold us, right? That's how all this stuff is [50:59] created. You get the Israelites that believe out of the way that then after as soon as they get them out of the way, [51:05] guess what they say? You know what? I think we're going to adopt Christianity as the national religion because I got [51:12] them out of the way. So that's where you start getting Christmas. That's when you start getting Easter, all of these traditions because what they're doing is [51:19] they're attracting all these different cultures, all these different religions. And we say no celebrate Christianity but [51:26] keep your same traditions. Right? When we talk about setting up a tree that is a that was a that was a ancient worship, [51:34] right? You put the star at the top of the tree. It started off as a star. The star at the top of the tree that didn't [51:39] come from no darn Santa Claus, right? The star at the top of the tree represented Jupiter. That represent [51:45] Jupiter was the Jupiter was the head god in the Roman pantheon. [51:51] Right? So you put that thing on there. Good. Or Saturn. Was it Jupiter? I think it was Jupiter. But the star might have [51:57] represented Saturn. It represent one of them thing. You know what I'm saying? One of them guys. Yeah. One of the thing. Put it on there. [52:02] Boom. And you look at it, you say, "Okay, I'mma bow down to it." Right. And they make a fool out. They be like, "Oh, [52:08] well, we ain't worried about no tree. We do it for Jesus Christ." And every time we do it, we wrap a peasant. And then what we do? Bow down right in front of [52:15] that thing. Every year. Every year. Bow down. We in our mind. Well, it ain't I'm just doing it because it's all about [52:21] family for me. It ain't do nothing. We wrap the present and then get to bow right on down. Some of some of them get all the way down on the climbing under [52:28] the tree. Oh yeah, you just good bowing. You know what I'm saying? You get most high. You don't think the most high God going to play this whole thing on replay [52:34] on judgment day. You going to see your whole life on replay. I like to imagine like it's a [52:43] you know what I'm saying? What what type of screens they got? 80 inch now. What's the big ones? They got the 80. I think it's gonna be like a 730 inch. You know [52:50] what I'm saying? Some crazy TV. It's gonna be ridiculous big. You gonna be looking at all the sides of it like this [52:57] trying to figure out what you doing and then he going to zoom in. Huh? Right there. Tell me you didn't bow down just now. Mhm. Got your butt. And you was [53:04] cussing. And you was lying. I'm not getting you for that. I'm That's just extra footage. I'm not getting you for that. I'm getting you cuz you were [53:10] cussing. You was lying. You was You was You was cheating on your wife. You was uh You was stealing. I'm getting you for [53:17] all your sins and then you bow down to the darn tree. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, [53:23] right? And we gonna have to watch that. Ain't we but people gonna have to watch that, [53:28] right? People going to have to watch that and humble theirself before the most high God before he kill him, [53:36] right? So, let's look at it. This is Revelation 4 verse one. Right? I'm about to show [53:44] y'all how there is no way you going to understand this stuff unless you know the scriptures. This Revelation 4 verse [53:52] one. After this, I looked, and behold, a door was open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was as it were a trumpet [53:59] talking with me, which said, "Come up here, and I will show thee the things which must be hereafter." And [54:04] immediately I was in the spirit, and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. So immediately I was in the spirit. What [54:12] does that mean? Like a dream. It's like a dream. I'm having a vision. He's describing to [54:17] us the vision that he has that then later turns into this prophecy that that's written down. He said, [54:22] "Immediately, I'm in the spirit." In other words, I'm in a trance. When the most high God talked to a prophet, how [54:28] does he speak to him? In a vision or a dream? What's the difference between a vision or a dream? [54:34] A vision you would wait. A vision. I'm walking around all of a sudden. I'm like, whoa. Like, whoa, [54:41] whoa, Nelly. You know what I'm saying? What's going on here? Right. In a dream, [54:46] I'm sleep, snoring, good sleep. What? What you saying to me, Lord? Then you wake up. Woo. That felt real, right? [54:55] That's the way he communicates to a prophet. What is a prophet to do after they have [55:00] that vision or dream? I love it. Got tell the people. I better open your mouth. What happened if a prophet try to The most high God [55:06] give you a vision or a dream? You a prophet, right? What happened you try to hold on to? [55:12] Yeah. Come on. What the prophet say when they hold when they try to hold on to this prophecy? Fire. Oh, that thing burn them up. Burn them [55:19] up. This is not a reg. I just want y'all to know this ain't no regular. Look, people have you believe in everybody a prophet right now. Everybody here from [55:26] God. Everybody know God. Everybody do everything. They have you believing every All these pastors up here talking [55:31] about they got titles. I went to a funeral. One was called the apostle, whatever his last name is. The other one [55:38] was his wife, Prophet Tess, whatever her last name was. They had the same last name. They was Mary. You know what I'm [55:43] saying? But one was Apostle and Prophet Test. I looked at these people. I said, "Y'all do not have any fear of God. [55:51] Y'all just say whatever you want." How many apostles are? Well, how we know that? There's only 12 names written on the [55:57] gates. You get to the end of that book, he tell you, I'm writing the names of the [56:02] apostles on the how many gates? 12 gates. Where did this apostle come from that's [56:08] at this darn church? Where's your name going to be written? Or are you a liar? [56:15] Even if you felt you was an apostle, why would you exalt yourself? Let the people exalt you and you shut your darn mouth. [56:24] Yahosua came as the son of the most high God who is God, who was with God. And [56:32] when the people came to him and said, "Call him good." You know what his response was? [56:38] Do you know why you calling me good? [56:44] There's none good for who? Do you know why? Do you know I'm God? He [56:51] didn't exalt himself be like, "Yeah, you're right. I am good." But God is good. So know who you talking to. He [56:56] didn't need to do that. You know what he said? Only God is good. Don't don't you don't know who I am. So don't just throw [57:03] that good word at me. Only God is good. If you know who you talking to, call me good. But you don't know that. [57:10] He's not exalting himself, right? We can't be that way. We can't think the [57:17] most high God will give us gifts. He will give us some good stuff. He'll make us feel real good. Don't get to walk [57:22] around because he gave you a vision or a dream and call yourself a prophet. Unless in that prophecy, he say, "Go [57:28] tell them you are my prophet. [57:33] You you talking about um John the Baptist. Did he exalt himself? [57:39] The books say he came in the spirit of Elijah. When they asked him, "Did you are you Elijah?" You know what he said, [57:45] "Man, I'm just John." You know what I'm saying? I'm just John. Tell the kids to [57:50] be quiet right here for me. Right. He said, "I'm just John." You know what I'm talking about? I'm not [57:55] doing all this extra stuff. I'm just John. He said, "Are you that prophet?" No, I'm not. I'm just John. [58:02] Humility. The most high God will exalt us, man. Y'all got to cut that stuff out. Teach the word of the most high [58:07] God. I know a lot of y'all, a lot of these pastor, I'm talking to the pastors now. I know it. I know a lot of y'all [58:12] started in a good place, right? I know you started and then Satan creep in and he deceive you and you get to believe in [58:18] your own hype. You have to stop. Just stick to the word, keep yourself humble, and let everything else work itself out. [58:25] The most high God to exalt you in due time. Our problem is we don't want to wait for the due time. [58:32] We want our glory now. We want the people to see us now. You don't get what you supposed to get until after you die. [58:38] If you get something before that, oh, thank the most high God for his grace and mercy, [58:44] right? This is Revelation 4 verse what? Uh three. [58:50] This is verse three. Watch this. He in the spirit now two verse two. He in the spirit. Watch this. [58:55] And immediately I was in the spirit, and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one that sat on the throne, and one sat [59:01] on the throne, and he that sat on the And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone. And [59:07] whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. It was one that sat on the throne. So, hold on. We heard about the sun already. The one [59:14] that Look, the son, he had hair like wool and it was white like snow. And his [59:20] feet, man, you see his feet, it looked like it was some copper burn, boy. some burn cob. That boy was black as all [59:26] outdoor. But watch what it looked like for Jasper. And what was what type of [59:33] stone? Sardine stone. Watch this. I'm about to show y'all something. Look at that. This is the one [59:40] that's sitting on the throne. This ain't Yahosua. In his vision, what he sees is somebody [59:48] sitting on the throne that looks like a brown man. [59:54] This is if you dig these things up right now, he look like a brown man sitting on [59:59] the throne. Again, this is not talking about Yahosua. This is talking about the man on the [60:05] throne. This is the most high God. The imagery that he gave to John was him of [60:11] a brown man. You have to understand that these people have warped our brains in [60:19] the imagery of who we are and who we come from. [60:26] Every picture you didn't seen of of Jesus or Yahosua, every single picture [60:31] you seen have been of a darn pink darn pickle on a darn stick like this. [60:39] Every single one. We should be offended. Not because skin color, but what's in [60:45] the word matters. I don't care what you think about black, white, and all that. I can care less about all that. But if it's in the word, [60:52] why can't you give me something that's accurate? Draw them this color. [60:57] Make them look like copper. I wouldn't even mind if you said, "Well, you know what? They call Indians copper [61:04] skin. We going to make them the color of an Indian." At least you can make a a case for that. What you can't make a [61:10] case for is what y'all depict to us in all these movies and they got the nerve that if we want to change Snow White to [61:16] a black lady, y'all have a darn a fit. Darn soft as cookie though. Why we can't [61:23] have, you know what I'm saying? Why we can't appropriate a little bit sometimes? Who we change that they hated? They got [61:29] mad at one of them. What was it? Oh, they didn't like the idea. J cut the [61:35] whole project. Cuz the they they look they stopped the whole you ain't have you seen a James Bond after that. I [61:41] don't think a James Bond movie came out after they start playing with the idea of making Idris's elbow. [61:46] They said cut the hole with the James Bond. They start moving. What? Who popped up right after that? John Wick. [61:53] They said, "Look, let you cut it. Bring another one. John Wick." Oh, it's the best thing ever, guys. You know what I'm [61:58] saying? And then you got Tom Cruz to come out with six more. He was done with Mission Impossible. Tom Crew didn't want [62:04] nothing else to do with Mission Impossible. They said, "Look, move the budget from 007 all the way to to John [62:11] Wick into Mission Impossible. Kill it. Do not let the elbow guy think that he [62:17] going to play this role. You have to understand that these people do not play, [62:24] but they going to pop up and the king of Egypt is going to look like what was his uh Christian Bale? How how the king of [62:29] Egypt and Batman the same person? That don't even make good sense. [62:35] Keep going. Watch this. And round about the throne were four 24 [62:41] seats. And upon the seats I saw four 24 elders sitting, okay? Clothed in white [62:46] clothes. And they had on their heads crowns of gold. Okay? And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices. [62:52] And there seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God. And before the throne [62:58] there was a sea of glass like unto crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four [63:03] beasts full of eyes before and behind. Okay? And the first beast was like a lion, and [63:08] the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle, [63:15] and the four beasts had each of them six wings about him, and they were full of eyes within, and [63:20] the rest not and they rest not day and night, and holy, holy, holy, Yahweh God [63:27] Almighty, which was and is, and is to come. What does that remind us of? [63:33] Isaiah. Isaiah. Let's get it. Good stuff. Isaiah. Let's get it. It's Isaiah chapter 6. Give me verse one. Let's get [63:40] to it. Hold your finger in Revelation. We coming right back. We got a lot to cover. It's Isaiah chapter 6 verse one. [63:47] Right. This imagery. When you reading Revelations and you a New Testament creature, you might look at this and be [63:53] like, "Wow, this amazing. I've never seen this before." Right? When you know the scripture, you say, "Oh, wait a [63:59] minute. This is exactly what Isaiah was talking about." This is Isaiah chapter 6 [64:05] verse one. And then we going right back to Revelation 4 verse whatever. In the year that King Isaiah died, I saw [64:12] also the Lord sitting upon the throne high and lifted up. Uhhuh. And his train filled the temple. [64:17] Okay. Above it stood the saraphim. And when it say the Lord, it's talking about Yahweh, right? I saw Yahweh. [64:22] That's the most high God, right? Keep going. And above it stood the saraphims. Each one had six wings. [64:28] He had how many wings? Six wings. Oh goodness. Let's see. With two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he [64:33] did fly. Okay. And the one cried unto another, said, "Holy, holy, holy is Yahweh of [64:39] hosts. The whole earth is full of his glory, and the and the post of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the [64:46] house was filled with smoke." Right? So here the saraphims have multiple wings like what we heard in Revelations. [64:52] Right? Now, let's go to Ezekiel. Ezekiel gave us some imagery as well. It's [64:58] Ezekiel chapter 1. Give me verse 4. [Music] It's Ezekiel 1 verse4. Then we going [65:05] back to uh to Revelation 4, whatever verse we left off. Who's screaming like [65:11] that? You said what? What now? That's my [65:17] Lily Jun. Oh, that's Oh, that's your boy. That's right. We got a little I'm like good [65:22] gracious all that screaming. [65:27] What? Oh, he thought that was a steak. That [65:33] boy hungry. This is Ezekiel. This is Ezekiel chapter [65:38] uh what chapter we in? Ezekiel chapter 1 verse4. [65:45] Now they have you thinking jasper. Jasper and sardine. So they have you thinking it's green or something. [65:51] These people listen these people go through a lot of lane and I don't know sometimes I have a problem giving people [65:56] credit. I really don't know like I don't have this idea that you know white folks is in some smoky room and they [66:03] conspiring to create all this. You know what I'm saying? I think they they fool just like we are right. I think we don't [66:09] believe we the Israelites just like they actually do believe they are the Israelites. And I think both of us are [66:15] wrong. You know what I'm saying? Like we both have been deceived. We both have been tricked. And everybody's a victim [66:20] in this situation. I don't believe that they that smart. Me personally, [66:26] this is uh this is uh Ezekiel 1:4. Watch what the book say. And I looked, and [66:31] behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire and folding itself. Mhm. [66:36] And the brightness was about it. And out of the midst thereof, as the color of amber out of the midst of the fire also [66:43] out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures, and this was their appearance appearance. [66:48] Watch this. Watch their appearance, though. They had the likeness of a man, and everyone had four faces, [66:54] and everyone had four wings, and their feet were straight feet. And the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's [66:59] foot, and they sparkled like the color of burnished brass. Like the what? Burnished brass. [67:06] So, this imagery that even we had of Yahushua's feet is not new. [67:11] They were brown, too, right? Keep going. They had the hands of a man under their [67:17] wings, on their four sides, and the four and their four had faces in their wings, [67:22] and their wings were joined one to another, and they turned not when they went, and they went everyone straight forward. As for the likeness of their [67:29] faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion. On the right side, so they had the face of a man and of a [67:35] lion, and what else? And on the right side, they for had the face of an ox. On the left side, they [67:40] for also had the face of an eagle. Okay, thus were their faces. and their wings were stretched upward. Two wings of [67:46] everyone were joined one to another and two covered their bodies. So that mean they they move in unison, [67:52] right? They just move just like this and all in a straight line. You know what I'm saying? They turn like the military. You know how the military they do the [67:59] thing. You know what I'm saying? That's how they move. You know what I'm saying? Move militant. You know what I'm saying? [68:04] All together. This the imagery that that Ezekiel gave. What verse is that? 11. Keep going. [68:09] And they went everyone straight forward. Where the spirit was to go, they went and turned not when they went. They turned not where they went. They [68:15] wasn't curving, sloppy, nothing. They right on point. Where do you think these people get it from when they want their [68:21] military, you know what I'm saying, to do that? Where do you think they got that from? I'm tell everything they do come from [68:27] our book. Keep going. Watch this. As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire and like the [68:33] appearance of lamps. It went up and down among the living creatures, and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went [68:39] forth lightning. Right. That's good. So, you can see that the imagery described in Ezekiel and the [68:45] imagery described in Isaiah is much like the imagery described in Revelation 4. [68:50] All this stuff comes from prophecy before, right? He's showing him things [68:56] that's very familiar. And that's important because if it weren't familiar, then you can't you can't [69:02] validate it, right? The most high God is all about giving you consistency so that [69:07] he can prove I told you well before it happened. So he's giving us a record of [69:12] consistency saying and then kind of giving us hints this is what I was talking about. So now if we were to go [69:18] back into what Ezekiel was talking about you get more of a picture like oh okay I get it right. Keep going. This is uh [69:25] Revelation chapter 4. I don't know what verse we left off on. [69:33] uh verse 8. It's Revelation 4 verse 8 [69:50] is Revelation 4 verse 8. And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him and they were full of [69:57] eyes within. Right? So, six wings like those that were in uh the seraraphim, right? That [70:03] were in Isaiah, right? Ezekiel, they had four wings, right? Multiple wings in [70:08] both cases. So, you'll see that, you know what I'm saying? It's not exact, but it's it's similar imagery if you mix in the two. Keep going. And they were [70:15] full of eyes within. And they rest not day and night, saying, "Holy, holy, holy, Yahweh God Almighty, which was and [70:21] is and is to come." Mhm. And when those beasts gave glory and honor and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the [70:28] four and 20 elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worshiped him that lives forever and ever, and [70:35] cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "Thou art worthy, oh Yahweh, to receive glory, honor, and power. Thou [70:41] has created all things, and for thy pleasure they are they are and were created." So, did y'all put yourself in the room [70:47] when we read that? Right. It's important when we read this, imagine it. see it in [70:53] your head. John is in the room. He's in the spirit in the trance. So, he's kind of just observing things happening. It's [70:59] almost like he's not even in the room, right? He's just a fly on the wall. When he's looking, he sees this immaculate [71:07] scene of this shining guy with brown, you know what I'm saying? Shining brown. And then he sees like a sea of like [71:13] crystals in front of him. You know what I'm saying? And thenuh 24 seats around him. and the people keep getting out of [71:19] their seat and giving him praise and bowing down to him and all that. Then you had these four beasts that's [71:24] militant kind of like what we read in in um in Ezekiel, right? And they moving [71:30] around and they're shouting out things as well. These beasts, these creatures look [73:49] Testing, testing. All right, we should be back now. Keep going. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming [73:56] with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able [74:02] to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I went much because no man was found worthy to open read the book, [74:08] neither to look thereon. Right? So now on this on this in this scene, you have [74:14] Yahweh sitting on the throne. On his right hand, he got a book. It's sealed with seven seals. And people are sad [74:21] because nobody could open this book. Nobody could break the seals of this book. Right? This is how we know the one [74:28] on the throne is not Yahushua because of what happens next. Watch this. And I wept much because no man was found [74:34] worthy to open to read the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders said unto me, "Weep not. Behold the [74:40] lion." And you think about the seals, right? Why is the book sealed? Who told us about that? [74:47] Isaiah. Let's get it real quick. This is Isaiah chapter 29. Then we coming right back to Revelation 5. Isaiah chapter 29. [74:54] Give me verse 9. is Isaiah chapter 29:9. This is [75:01] important because you're not going to find very many people teaching you what these seals [75:06] represent. We about to go into seven seals of a book. A lot of people when we [75:12] think about the seals of Revelations, you know what we think about death and destruction and the four horsemen and [75:18] all that. You know what people forget? A book was being unsealed, [75:25] right? This is uh this is uh Isaiah chapter 29 verse9. Let's see what the [75:31] book say. They yourselves and wonder. Cry ye out and cry. They are drunken but [75:37] not with wine. They stagger but not with strong drink. For the Lord has poured out upon you the [75:42] spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes. The prophets and your rulers, the seers, has he covered. And the [75:48] vision of all has become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed. The vision of all the vision is you know [75:54] when the most high God speak to you speak to you in vision or a dream. So he's saying the prophecy of all the book [76:00] right all the prophecy that has been documented in the book has become to you sealed. It's something you can't open. [76:07] Watch this. He's like it's like a book that is sealed. [76:22] Okay. And the vision of all has become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is [76:27] learned, saying, "Read this, I pray thee." And he said, "I cannot, for it is sealed." And the book is delivered to [76:33] him that is not learned, saying, "Read this, I pray thee," and he says, "I am not learned." Right? So it's like [76:38] somebody who trying to read a book and they don't know how to read or somebody who know how to read, try to read the [76:43] book, but they can't open it. is locked. Right. Keep going. Wherefore Yahweh said, "For as much as [76:48] this people draw near me with their mouth, with their lips do honor me, y but have removed their heart far from [76:53] me." And then what? And their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men. And that's where we are, [76:59] right? The book is sealed. The average person don't understand this book. The average person can't tell you what's [77:05] in this book. And you know when somebody has if you tell somebody you have to teach this tomorrow and they don't have [77:12] time to understand the material that they teaching but they have to teach it tomorrow what they going to do [77:19] brother make it up. They got to make it up. They got to make they they got to take their best guess [77:24] and they got to make it up. So that's what he's talking about. The fear of Yahwh is taught by the commandment of [77:30] men. Basically people are making it up and that's where we are right now. But [77:35] the reason that we're there is because the book is sealed. So now understand [77:42] that as Yahosua is about to come and unseal this book, right? This is uh [77:47] Revelation 5. What verse we leave off on? Verse four. It's Revelation 5:4. Watch what the book [77:55] say. And I went much because no man was found worthy to open to read the book, neither to look thereon. [78:00] Mhm. And one of the elders said unto me, weep not. Behold, the lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has prevailed [78:06] to open a book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. Okay? And I beheld, and lo, in the midst of the throne, and on the four beasts, and [78:12] in the midst of the elders, stood a lamb, as it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which the seven [78:18] spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. Okay? And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the [78:24] throne. And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and the four and 20 elders fell down before the lamb, having [78:30] every one of them harps in golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of the saints. So now that's where we get [78:36] the definition of the odors, right? The odors, the aromas, those are the prayers [78:41] of the saints. So remember throughout all our law when we're doing sacrifices [78:47] and we're burning incense, now we know what that represents, right? that represented the prayers of the people [78:54] going up to the most high God. Right? That's why he says, "I want to smell the aroma of the sacrifices. I want to smell [79:00] the aroma of the the golden sensors." Keep going. And they sung a new song, saying, "Thou art worthy to take the [79:07] book and to open the seals thereof. For thou was slain, and has redeemed us to God by the blood out of every kindred [79:14] and tongue and people and nation, and has made us unto our God kings and priests. And we shall reign on the [79:20] earth." Mhm. And I beheld and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beast and the elders and the number [79:25] of them that them was 10,000 times 10,000. And another thingous [79:31] I'm not going we not going to get it but I want y'all to know that when it describe go back to like verse five real [79:37] quick. And one of the elders said unto me, weep [79:42] not. Behold the lion of the tribe of the who? The lion of the tribe of Judah. Where does that come from? [79:49] Right. That's from Genesis, right? That's from Genesis uh was it 48 49 [79:55] 49 right from that's when when uh Jacob was blessing all of his sons. [80:00] He told you about Judah and from Judah he would have the scepter and he would be the lion right so this the lion from [80:06] the tribe of Judah that ties back way back in Genesis right and then he keep going watch what else he say in verse [80:12] five. The root of David has prevailed to open the root of David. Where does root of David come from? Samuel [80:18] come from Samuel. He also comes from uh calls from uh Isaiah. Jeremiah mentioned [80:24] it as well. He might mention branch, right? The branch of David or something like that. That comes from from from him [80:31] as well. Keep going. What else is there? To loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld and low in the midst of the [80:37] throne and of the four beasts in the midst of the elders stood the lamb as it had been slain. Mhm. Having seven horns and seven eyes. [80:43] Yes. Seven horns and seven eyes. What does the seven eyes represent? [80:49] Spirits. Remember the eyes represent spirits, right? So he has seven eyes. So that [80:55] means seven spirits. We don't have to get it, but Isaiah chapter 11 will tell you about the seven spirits of the most [81:01] high God, right? Seven spirits of the most high God. Matter of fact, I think I got a slide on it, so we ain't got to [81:07] turn and read it, but we can show it here. Yeah. And so we got the the seven [81:12] spirits of the most high God which is wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, [81:18] knowledge, fear of Yahweh, and the spirit of Yahweh. Those are the seven spirits of the most high God and [81:25] therefore the seven eyes, right? And then he says seven horns as well, right? [81:31] Yeah. Remember the horns represents kings. So remember we had seven good kings. You had David, you had a uh uh [81:40] Asa, right? You had Jehoshaphat, you had Jotham, you had Hezekiah in our [81:46] Bible in the year, our daily reading in Bible of the year, we we talking about Hezekiah right now, right? You got Hezekiah, you got Josiah, and then you [81:54] have the son of Hezekiah. Is Manasseh Hezekiah's son? [82:00] Manasseh. I think I think Manasseh is the son of Hezekiah. Who who he's not? Manasseh is [82:06] the son of Josiah. Is he a son of Josiah? [82:11] I think he's the son of Josiah. Okay. Well, then then you got Manasseh. Yeah. And [82:16] we get uh Manasseh. He's he's the last one. Now, a [82:22] lot of people miss Manasseh as a good king because he set up all the sacrifice, all the all the high places. [82:29] He did the most. He did the most. But at the end of his life, he repented. I want [82:34] to say the end of his life, but when he was sent to Babylon, he repented while he was in prison in Babylon and came [82:40] back to the most high God and came back and cleaned all the stuff he he made a mess of. Right? So, he repented and he [82:46] his story is to me one of my favorites of the kings because it's a story of redemption. It's one that we don't [82:52] highlight very much, but a lot of the things that that that I think I think we can relate more to uh to Manasseh than [82:58] we can to King Asa and King Jehoshaphat, right? Um, so that's the that's the [83:04] seven horns. The seven horns represents the seven kings, right? The seven good kings of Judah. Those are the seven [83:11] horns that are on this lamb. Again, this imagery never bothered to count the good kings in Judah. Like every time I've read the [83:18] history of a bunch of th I've never counted how many was good. Yeah, buddy. Let's uh let's keep going. [83:24] Then we'll start talking about the seals. [83:30] And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne. And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and the four and 20 [83:36] elders fell down before the lamb, having every one of them harps and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of [83:41] the saints. Four verses done. Nine. Well, nine now. Verse nine. So, grab uh real quick, grab [83:49] Psalm 14 for me. And then we coming right back to uh Revelation 5. This is Psalm chapter 14. [84:11] The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God. They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is none [84:16] that doeth good." Yahweh looked down from heaven upon from heaven upon the children of men to see [84:22] if there were any that did understand and seek God. That's 14. Yeah. [84:27] Uh, maybe I want 141. Give me Give me Give me Psalm 141. [84:35] Yeah. Yeah. So close. I almost had it. [84:41] They got a four in there. I know that. Lord, I cry unto thee. Make haste unto [84:47] me. Give ear unto my voice when I cry unto thee. That's what I want. Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense. [84:53] That's what the lifting up as incense. Right. So, this kind of shows you that the incense represents the prayers, [84:59] right? That's all I wanted to go here for is to show you that the incense represents the prayers. Uh, let's go [85:05] back. This Revelation chapter 5, I think we left off at verse 9. [85:18] And they sung a new song, saying, "Thou art worthy to take the book and to open the seals thereof, for thou was slain [85:23] and redeemed us to God by the blood out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation." Now, this lamb represents Yahosua. It [85:30] never says Yahosua's name, but all the imagery of the lamb represents Yahosua. [85:35] I believe the reason why the most high God presented it this way is to kind of give us a pattern of how to understand [85:41] the rest of this book. Right? So he said, "I'm not going to tell you that it's Yahosua. I'm just going to give you all the symbolism that you can connect [85:48] using the history." Remember, we had to look at the the the the seven horns representing the um representing the [85:56] kings of Israel. You can't do that unless you know the history, right? You have to you have to take the seven [86:02] spirits that came from Isaiah. You can't do that unless you know the history. I mean, unless you know the prophecy, [86:08] right? So it's like he's he's giving us a pattern of how you understand these things starting with Yahushua which is [86:14] an easy one. It's like a low ball. You know what I'm saying? Like all right, you can get this one. So the lamb that was slain, right? You can't do that [86:20] unless you know the gospel, right? So the lamb that was slain represents Yahushua who is now the only one worthy [86:28] to open up this book that sits on the right hand of this throne and this glorious scene that John just painted [86:34] for us is sitting there the book and it's sealed. The only one who can break those seals is this lame lamb that was [86:41] slain. No one else can do it. This lamb represents Yahosua. Let's finish out the chapter. [86:50] And has made us unto our God kings and priests, and we shall reign on the earth. Mhm. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of [86:56] many angels round about, the throne, and the beast and the elders, and the number of them that And the number of them was 10,000 [87:02] times, 10,000, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the lamb that was slain to receive power and [87:09] riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing." Mhm. And every creature was in heaven, and on [87:14] the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them heard I saying, Bless, blessing, [87:21] and honor, and glory, and power be unto him that siteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever. And the [87:27] four beast said, "Amen." And the four and 20 elders fell down and worshiped him that lives forever and ever. [87:32] All right? So now they begin to worship Yahweh on account of the slain lamb that [87:39] has the authority to open this book. Verse one of chapter 6. Watch this. [87:49] And I saw when the lamb opened one of the seals, I heard as it were the noise of thunder on one on [87:56] the noise of thunder one of the four beasts saying come and see. Right? So now once one of the seals was open, he [88:04] heard thunder. You know what I'm saying? He open boom. Then the the the beast [88:09] came. Hey, come check this out. So now they're about to give John a vision of [88:15] each what happens with each one of these seals, right? When we go through these seals, we don't know how long this is. [88:22] We don't know if all all all seven seals happened in a matter of a week or if it happened in a matter of dozens of years. [88:30] Right. All we know is there are seven seals and each one of them come with a [88:35] particular event that we can kind of try to try to understand to try to see what's happening and when it happens, [88:42] right? We're not going to get into the seals right now. We going to get into them next week. But I want y'all to understand what it means for these [88:49] seals. This is the part that gets missed with the seals because people don't understand the scripture. All we think about is a seal get broken and there [88:55] goes a pale horse and a seal gets broken and meteors start coming out of stars start falling out of the sky. All that's [89:02] going to happen for sure, but it's one thing that the prophecy tells us that we miss about these seals. Grab um Daniel [89:10] chapter 12 for me. [89:16] This is Daniel chapter 12. [89:22] No. What? Man, I need it. [89:29] [Laughter] [89:41] It's Daniel 12 verse one. [89:47] And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which stands for the children of thy people. And there shall [89:54] be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation even of even at [90:00] that same time. And at that time thy people shall be delivered, everyone that shall be found written in the book. And [90:06] many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and [90:11] everlasting contempt. So now this is Daniel who talked told us about the resurrection early, right? Keep going. [90:17] They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and they that turn away they and they that turn [90:22] many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever. Uh-huh. But thou, oh Daniel, shut up the words [90:28] and seal the book. He said, he said, thou, oh Daniel, do what? Shut up the words and seal the book. [90:33] And do what to the book? Seal the book. This book is sealed. There is [90:38] information that has not been revealed yet. But watch what Daniel says next. [90:45] Even to the time of the end. Even until the time of when? And then watch. [90:50] Many shall run to and fro. They going to be running back and forth. Watch this. And knowledge shall be increased. [90:55] What's going to be increased? Knowledge shall be increased. Almost like the seal start breaking. [91:00] So the book is sealed. There's information that has not been revealed to anybody yet. Yahosua going to start [91:07] breaking these things. And Daniel prophesied at that time knowledge is gonna be increased. [91:14] We gonna start it gonna be a lot of people that start just knowing stuff [91:20] because the book will be unsealed. There is more than just stuff falling out of the sky. At the same time that stuff is [91:26] falling out of the sky, people are going to be more wise and more understanding about who God is and what God is doing [91:33] and what the plans are. people will begin to start prophesying again and telling us, "Hey, X, Y, and a [91:41] Z is about to happen." Real prophets. I ain't talking about these church prophets where the only thing they can prophesy is that chains will be broken [91:47] in your darn life. Keep going. What we got there? That was [91:52] D. No. Uh uh uh grab Matthew chapter 24 real quick. Then after that, we going [91:57] back to uh Isaiah chapter 29. I just want y'all to understand very [92:03] clearly what these seals is talking about and how the how it has always been prophesied that at some point knowledge [92:10] will increase. At some point it's going to be this spring of of new knowledge [92:16] and new information that is about the most high God and that comes from these seals being broken. Right? As soon as he [92:22] break a seal, a little more information is released. He break the next one, a little more information is released. He [92:28] break the next one. More information. More information. And you going to see brothers running around. They going to have this. And right now these brothers [92:34] running around looking like dodo birds. These boys don't know nothing about the book. Nothing about God. Right. And they [92:40] still got to learn that part first cuz this stuff is here. You know what I'm saying? It's here. It's not like his stuff is this is this part is already [92:46] unsealed. Right. Keep going. This is uh this is uh uh [92:52] Matthew 24. Matthew chapter 24 [92:57] verse uh 6. It's Matthew chapter 24. Matter of fact, start me at verse four. And Yosua [93:04] answered and said unto them, take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying I am the Messiah and shall deceive many. [93:10] Yeah, that's a fact. Ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. Oh my goodness. Wars and you going to hear about rumors of wars. Like, didn't [93:16] y'all hear last week that uh you know what I'm saying? that uh like we might go to war with Iran and then Israel [93:23] might go to war with cutter and then and then like maybe the war [93:28] might stop in Ukraine but Trump was like you know what Ukraine y'all on y'all own [93:34] and the NATO got y'all we'll continue to sell stuff to NATO but y'all on your own and pretty much threatening that Russia [93:40] might attack NATO after that. You know what I'm saying? Like y'all hear these rumors of wars that everybody is talking [93:46] about. All right, keep going. Watch this. [93:53] See that you not be troubled for these. He said, "Be not troubled when you hear this." Keep going. All these [93:58] So stop darn texting me every time y'all hear about something happening in the Middle East. He said, "Don't be troubled at this stuff." Keep going. [94:04] For all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. He said the end that don't represent the When we start hearing wars and all this [94:10] stuff, guess what? That don't represent the end. Y'all be thinking that the world, everybody say World War II, the [94:16] world going to end. Where in the world y'all get that from? Nothing in the book tells you anything about a war [94:21] representing the end. We going to talk over the next next several weeks. We are [94:27] going to show you very clearly what represents the end. What are the signs that the end is coming? It's a lot that [94:33] got to happen. I ain't saying it's going to be a far off, but it's a lot that got if it were going to happen tomorrow, [94:39] man, it's a lot of stuff that got to happen in the next couple hours, right? It's not going to we don't see I'm [94:45] telling you right now when I look out into the world I don't even see the slightest sign that the world about to end based off of how I look right now we [94:53] might got a couple hundred years right it's not even a slight now don't don't don't make a mistake now it all can [95:00] change in a second right but when you when you look for the change and you [95:05] looking for the right things you could be sure about what that change is right keep going [95:13] For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. And there shall be famines and pestilences, earthquakes, [95:18] and diverse places. Uhhuh. All these are the beginning of sorrow. That's only the beginning. Shall they deliver you up to be [95:24] afflicted and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. That's right. Then shall many be offended, and shall [95:29] betray one another, and shall hate one another. Many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. Iniquity shall [95:36] abound. The love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure until the end, the same shall be saved. going to be [95:41] saved if you endure to the end. Watch this. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for going to [95:48] all nations. The gospel of the kingdom is going to be preached where? In all the world for a witness unto all [95:54] nations. The knowledge will increase. Right? In the end, the gospel is going [96:00] to be preached in all the world because the knowledge would have increased. Give [96:07] me one more. This is Isaiah chapter 29. and then we can get up out of here. This is Isaiah chapter 29. Start me off at [96:14] about verse 13 where we left off before. Remember Isaiah chapter chapter 29 told us about the seals. It told us that the [96:21] vision of all is like a book that is sealed or like taking a book to somebody [96:26] who can't read and they tell you I can't read it because I'm unlearned. He said [96:32] but because of that y'all teach the fear of God through the commandment of men. [96:37] Right? because I don't know the true information of the most high God, but I feel like I have to teach some something [96:43] about the most high God. Now, I make it up. And as soon as I make it up or take a guess and I give you information [96:50] that's not consistent with the word of the most high God, that is now the commandment of men. And this is what the [96:55] most high God says. So because we hear commandment of men and that's how we [97:00] learn to fear God that puts us in a position where our heart is far from the [97:07] most high God but our mouth says oh praise the Lord I love you so much Lord [97:12] this is uh Isaiah 29:13 Isaiah 29:3 [97:18] watch the book says Yahweh said for as much as this people draw near me with their mouth and with their lips do honor me but have removed [97:25] their heart far from me and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men. Therefore, behold, I will proceed [97:32] to do a marvelous work among these this people, even the marvelous work and wonder, for the wisdom of their men [97:37] shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from Yahweh. [97:43] Right? This is he describing us right now, right? The wisdom of their their leaders [97:49] are going we don't have any we our people in particular have no leadership. No leadership. We all just reacting to [97:57] to whatever like real leadership whether Biden is in office or or Trump is in [98:02] office. Real leadership to say these are the needs of my people and this is what needs to be addressed. Right? Real [98:08] leadership is not moved by by somebody being in office. Real leadership say this is what we need to do. Do you think [98:14] Dr. King was that was a real leader, right? Do you think Dr. King cared who [98:20] was in office? Did his mission change based off of who was in office? Did he start caring about something more when [98:26] one person was in office and then stopped caring about it when the next? No. But you see that stuff? If you look [98:31] at our cycles, the topics of our leadership only is in there if a Republican, that's when we start caring [98:37] about certain things. If a if a Republican there, we ignore it. I don't know nothing about that. Same [98:43] stuff is nothing changes. Same stuff happening to the people. Same stuff going on. We only care when it become [98:49] political because they're not leaders. They're being led. Right? We need real leadership but we don't have it because [98:56] the most high God said the prudent of our leaders is gone. He taken all the [99:02] wisdom from these people right and in reality right when we look at it in a in a physical realm in the physical realm [99:08] what's happening is the boy the boys get scared off before they even get started right they if somebody if somebody if [99:16] you had a authentic leader that tried to rise up the boy going to take care of him before he even get started. They going to scare him off. They going to [99:22] shoot him. and they're going to do something to him before he even get big because they've had enough in America about that. Right. Keep going. [99:37] And they say, "Who sees us and who knows us? Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's [99:43] clay. For shall the work or shall the work say of him that he made it? Shall [99:48] the work say of him that made it, he made me not?" Or shall the thing framed of him that framed it, he hath no [99:54] understanding, is it not yet very little while in Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and a fruitful field shall be [100:00] esteemed as a forest. Watch this. And in that day shall the deaf hear, and the words of the book, and the eyes of [100:07] the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness. Right? So the people who couldn't see, the people who didn't have the vision, [100:13] the people who didn't understand, he's saying out of the darkness that I put y'all in, in that day, y'all start to [100:21] see and y'all start to hear. Right? Read it one more time for me. That verse 19. [100:29] And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out [100:35] of darkness. And that's because the book is starting to be unsealed. [100:40] That's happening when this lamb of the most high God begins to break the seals [100:46] one by one. Right? And next week we'll start going over exactly what each seal [100:52] is, how each seal breaks. Now, what I can't tell you is what information is going to be revealed because it's [100:57] sealed, right? But each one, I believe, is going to come with more and increasing information until all the [101:04] gospel is preached around the world, until knowledge is increased, and until those that are spiritually blind and [101:10] deaf can spiritually see and hear. Right. Any questions? [101:16] Any questions? Sister Pam, I am going to send I'm going to uh send out all of [101:23] these slides. I'll put it in the band app. Uh, and for the people who are not in the band app, I will put it on the [101:30] site somewhere. We'll see. I'll do that, but I'll put it in the band app tonight. All right. That way you can get the [101:36] whole deck. You'll get everything, even the stuff that we haven't covered yet. I'mma add more on to it, but uh you [101:42] you'll get everything. Any questions? I don't think I missed any other [101:48] questions. [101:53] Let's see here. Oh yeah, I did miss a question. Um, so [101:59] sister Pam asked, she said when when I think we was talking about Jerusalem coming down for us, us not going into [102:05] heaven. Um, she talked about how the prophecy mentions in Matthew chapter 24 [102:13] and in 1 Thessalonians 4, how Yahushua will appear in the sky and everyone will [102:19] be gathered to him. So they're gathered to him in the sky. So understand he's [102:24] coming down. We're gathered with him in the sky. Still coming down though. It ain't like we go to the sky and then go [102:31] go go into the you know talking to the third heaven, right? We go into the sky with him and then we come down. But we [102:38] don't go to heaven to dwell there. We actually we actually come down after we change after the resurrection. [102:45] Hopefully that answers the question. I don't think as people we did that we did [102:51] that. covered that. Okay.
