Good evening, everybody, and welcome to FOJC Radio Friday night live.

We are again live, live, live.

It's our great honor once again to be broadcasting the

Gospel of Jesus Christ, and it is always an honor for all of you that are joining

us for this broadcast.

Tonight we're going to have a dynamic lesson.

It's going to be entitled The Last Hours of Human History.

And we're so thankful for that.

We got a lot of announcements and a lot of stuff going on.

And I'm going to read one here at the first.

And this is a little plug here, something I don't, a lot of, there's not a whole lot

that I recommend out there as you know.

I'm a stickler.

The Bible says, if you don't have the doctor in the Christ, you don't have God.

Someone didn't teach in the doctor of Christ.

You know, that kind of tells you, doesn't it?

But here's a group that are.

And by the way, Adam, if you can, text me the announcements for the conference.

And if you can do that, you're definitely, I'll read them at the end when I do mail call.

But the Ark Church on Repent TV, if you're looking for fellowship with like-minded believers,

check out Ark Church, eat Saturday at 10 a.m. central on Repent TV's YouTube channel.

The link is on our, you can go to our website on our main page.

There's a link there.

It says, Ark Church is a weekly Sabbath gathering for followers of the doctrine of Christ.

There is singing, a short message, fellowship in the chat, and time for private communion.

That's every Saturday at 10 a.m. central on Repent TV's YouTube channel.

Very good.

Appreciate that.

And at the end of the broadcast, we will be doing mail call and we'll have some more

announcements for you then.

The conference is coming up very soon.

April 4th and 5th, we're going to have a two-day celebration with a lot of speakers.

And oh, well, look at that.

Talk about results.

Sister Stephanie or Adam one just texted me back the announcements.

So I'm going to do the announcements for the Passover conference now.

These are the announcements.

And like I say, April 4th and 5th, we're going to have two days of meetings and baptisms.

A lot of friends are going to be in Dan Bedondi, Diana Ketterman, Adam Smith, Brian.

And it's just going to be a great time.

A lot of food, a lot of fun, and a lot of fellowship.

So it's a free event.

If you want to come, register on the website and come on.

But here are the announcements.

Number one, we will be doing baptisms on both days.

I think right now about 70 people so far will be being baptized.

If you're signed up for baptism and your last name begins with letters A through M, you

will be scheduled to be baptized on Saturday.

If your name begins with letters in Thruzy, you will be scheduled for Sunday.

If children and parents are both being baptized and their names are different, everyone in

the group will be baptized on the assigned day for the parent's last name.

If you need to change your day, please let us know when you check in on Saturday morning.

Parking at the Shurden Center is limited.

However, overflow parking is available at the adjacent Ivy Tech Building and the William

Tell Elementary School.

You can bring your food items to the Shurden Center on Friday between the hours of 2 to

6 p.m. central time or on Saturday morning.

What a blessed thing it is to honor and celebrate the great Feast of God and we're certainly

going to be doing that.

We're really going to be looking forward to it.

Thank you all so very much.

All right.

Well, we're going to get into our lesson for this evening.

Our lesson for this evening is entitled the last hours of human history and we're going

to be going through the Word of God and we're just going to be reading it and believing

it.

And the Bible is nearly as complicated as what people think.

A second Corinthians chapter 11 and verse 3 says, but I fear less by any means as the

serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety.

So your mind should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

And I've said for many years that truth is in the simplicity.

The Bible says what it says and it means what it says.

And error is always in that which is complex.

When you hear someone talk for a half hour and you don't know what they said, you don't

need to go for the second half hour.

That's just the way it is.

Truth is straight up.

It's clear.

It's understandable.

Let everything be established in the mouth of two or three witnesses from the Word of God.

If it isn't such, it is not truth.

And that's what we're about here, truth.

Getting back to the Word of God.

So what we're going to do, we're just going to read the Bible and believe it.

And even Bible prophecy, certainly there are some passages that until we get right up

to it, we might not know just exactly how certain things are going to work out.

But Bible prophecy, if we will just read what the Bible says and believe it, it's really

not that hard.

We're going to be doing that this evening.

And we're going to be starting with the great prophet Zechariah.

And we're going to be using chapters 12 through 14 in Zechariah as kind of a source text

to unravel and coordinate the other parts of Bible prophecy.

And always the best way to interpret Scripture is with Scripture.

And there are so many obvious spiritual signatures that we see in the prophetic that it's not

as hard as what we think.

So let's just dive into it.

Let's read in Zechariah chapter 12 beginning in verse 1.

The burden of the Word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord which stretcheth forth the heavens

and layeth the foundations of the earth and formeth the Spirit of man within him.

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about.

And when they shall see in the siege, both against Judah and against Jerusalem.

And in that day, now this is the phrase that we're going to key off of in that day.

And throughout the 12th through the 14th chapter of Zechariah, this phrase reoccures.

And it connects a continuous narrative from Zechariah 12 through 14.

And this is going to be pretty clear, really.

But it says, and in that day, I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone.

Now we just had this in a previous study.

And that word means a stone that has sharp edges, it's heavy, it waits you down.

And when you try to pick it up, it will cut you.

And can we see Jerusalem being a burdensome stone?

Could Jerusalem be a burdensome stone to the United States of America?

This is an issue that the Bible prophesied, and it is certainly coming true for those

that have ears to hear and eyes to see.

And in that day, I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people.

All that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the

earth be gathered together against it.

The Bible speaks of the time when the nations of the earth are going to come against Jerusalem.

And certainly, we can see that scenario building.

Now I want to go to Joel, the second chapter.

And what we're going to find, I'll just go ahead and tell you the meaning of in that

day, in that day is the day of the Lord, the day of the return of Jesus Christ.

Our lesson for this evening is entitled The Last Hours of Human History.

And we're going to see right from Scripture just exactly what the last hours of human

history are going to be like.

And by seeing the end of the story there, if you will, we're going to be seeing right

now how everything is folding into that pattern in a frighteningly perfect picture.

It really, really is.

And the Bible prophesied thousands of years ago, Jerusalem was left in runes in 586 BC again

in 70 AD.

And yet the prophecy of the prophets that in the last days Jerusalem would once again be

a burdensome stone for all the nations.

Well, we're here, aren't we?

And the amazing prophecies of the Word of God just keep coming true.

Now let's go to Joel chapter three and verse two.

And we have a lot of text Scripture that speak to us about all the nations of the earth

gathering themselves together against Jerusalem.

And here's one from the prophet Joel.

I will also gather all nations and we'll bring them down into the valley of Jehassa

fat and we'll plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they

have scattered among the nations and parted my lands.

And we'll have some commentary here from Albert Barnes.

And oh, by the way, a big thank you to Brian.

I didn't even mention your name, Brian.

Look at that.

And Brian Reese, I'm so thankful he's running everything and we'll be hearing from him later.

Yes, we will.

And we'll also be hearing from Brian at our conference now.

Let's have a little commentary here from Albert Barnes so we can get a real clear picture

as possible on just what's coming down here.

It says the only valley called the valley of Jehassa fat is the valley of Kedron lying

between Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives encircling the city on the east.

Their asa hasakaya and Josiah cast the idols which they had burned.

And we're going to see some text in a little bit that we'll talk about Magito.

It's the valley of Magito, Mount Magito, Armageddon.

This is the most notable in time battle site.

But what we're going to see is that Armageddon is not just a single battle, but it's a war.

And there's several sites that we can tie in with this final conflict.

And one will be right there in Jerusalem in this valley.

And all nations are going to be gathered there as the Prophet Joel prophesies.

Now there's another very famous text that we can connect with this.

And this is the battle of Gog and May Gog.

And we're going to be able to make some definitive connections here.

Now I believe that and we're going to see clearly that the phrase in that day from the

Prophet Zechariah, this is the day of the Lord's return.

He is literally showing us the last hours of human history.

And I believe that this same event, this final battle is being described in Ezekiel

chapter 38 and 39, which is the famous prophecy of Gog and May Gog.

Now let's read it.

And here again, my conclusions are just from a connecting scripture.

Do you let scripture interpret scripture?

You can get a clear picture of what the Bible is telling us.

So many times when we go to the New Testament, it's quoting the old.

And if you want to know what it's talking about, go to the Old Testament.

When the Bible says, touch not the unclean thing, well, how do we know what the unclean

thing is?

Well, let's read Leviticus.

People don't want to do that.

But I say, let's let the Bible do it.

And the same thing is true with every part of the word of God.

The New Testament is inundated with quotes from the Old Testament, just like we were talking

about the text in 1 Corinthians 5, Paul was quoting Deuteronomy.

The way he determined the exclusion of the person from the New Testament assembly was

based on the Torah and what the Torah taught.

Now, in Ezekiel chapter 38, it's a familiar text and let's read it.

And by the way, welcome all of our new listeners and our new subscribers to FOJC radio.

We certainly welcome you.

And we are so thankful that you're on board with us.

And let's go to Ezekiel 38 and we're going to read verse 1 and 2.

And the word of the Lord came into me saying, Son of man, set by face against God, the land

of Magog, the chief prince, a machition to ball and prophesy against him.

Now let's look at verse 8.

In verse 8, we have the prophecy.

It says, and after many days thou shalt be visited in the latter years thou shalt come

into the land that is brought back from the sword and is gathered out of many people against

the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste.

But it is brought forth out of the nations and they shall dwell safely all of them.

Now this prophecy about Israel dwelling safely, well, is Israel dwelling safely today?

Not quite.

Are they?

And the only way, and this is something, this is another lesson, but I believe that in

the invasion, we've talked very much about the Daniel 11, which we've cross-referenced

with Enoch and 2nd Eskras, that Israel will be involved in a war.

And I think this will really kick off the great tribulation.

And this will be the war that will pretty much devastate Israel militarily.

And that's why, and they will make a pact.

The treaty they'll make with the beast and guess who that's going to be.

They'll make a treaty with the beast because they'll have to for their own survival.

Now that would make sense to this text, but there's no sense of saying Israel is dwelling

safely now, but under the protection of the beast, they will have their supposed security.

And now, in Ezekiel, chapter 38, well, let's go to Ezekiel 39, and I'm going to show

you timing.

And I'm going to show you timing that is based just strictly upon the Word of God.

Let Scripture interpret Scripture.

Well, we can think, well, I think it's this, I think it's that.

But what does the Word of God point you to?

There's all kinds of interpretations concerning the when the Battle of Megag and God will take

place.

Some say it's before the tribulation, some say it's in the middle.

I say it's at the very end.

And this is why I say that.

Now, let's look at Ezekiel 39 and let's begin in verse 17.

And now, son of man, thus say at the Lord God, speak unto every feathered foul and to

every beast of the field, assemble yourselves and come gather yourselves on every side to

my sacrifice.

Now, this is so ironic because God and Megag, and of course, in the Old Testament concept,

they rejected the Levitical sacrifices and in the New Testament context, they rejected

the ones for all sacrifice of Christ.

So now we're still going to have a sacrifice, but guess what, you're the sacrifice.

And it says here, gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice, that I do sacrifice

for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh and drink

blood.

You shall eat the flesh of the mighty and drink the blood of the princes of the earth,

of rams, of lands, of goats, of bullocks, all of them, fatnings, fatlings of bayshan.

Now let's connect this in the Word of God with what the Bible says is going to happen

when Jesus returns, which in the book of Zechariah is described as in that day.

Now let's go to Revelation chapter 19 and let's read verse 6 and 7.

In Revelation chapter 19, there are two suppers that are mentioned.

You're going to be at one of them.

Now the one that I want to be at is the married supper of the Lamb, because Jesus is going

to serve you there.

Can you imagine actually having the son of man serve you?

I tell you it's just amazing and humbling to think about, but you're either going to

be at the married supper of the Lamb, or you're going to be an order for a vulture.

There's no door number three there.

Now let's read in Revelation chapter 19.

In Revelation chapter 19, let's look at verse 6 and 7.

And I heard as it were, the voice of a great multitude and as the voice of many waters,

and as the voice of mighty thundering, saying, Alleluia for the Lord God, omnipotent

reigneth, praise God, let us be glad and rejoice and give honor to him for the marriage of

the Lamb has come and his wife have made herself ready.

Are you getting ready?

And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white for the fine

linen is the righteousness of the saints.

And he sayeth unto me, Right, blessed are they which are called under the married supper

of the Lamb.

And he sayeth unto me, These are the true sayings of God, praise God, what a ton.

Now let's pick the text up in verse 11.

And here we see the actual return of Jesus, Revelation 19 11 and I saw heaven open and

behold a white horse and he that sat upon him was called fateful and true.

And in righteousness he death judge and make more.

His eyes rose aflame a fire and on his head were many crowns and he had a name written

that no man knew, but he himself.

And he was cloned with the vestor dipped in blood and his name is called the word of God.

And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses clothe in fine linen,

white and clean.

And as Jesus returns, it even says in verse 19 and I saw the beast and the kings of the

earth and their armies gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse

and against his army literally the demonized hordes are going to try to shoot Jesus when

he shows up.

I mean, this is what it says, but I tell you what, there's dumb and there's dumber.

This is a battle they're not going to win.

It seems like the world and the earthly powers have all the marbles so to speak.

And in the worldly sense they do, but they're headed toward a battle they're not going

to win.

And the consequences for opposing Jesus Christ are just going to be eternally significant.

Now let's get our connection.

Let's read verse 17 here and it's time for our first drink of coffee.

That's right.

Now this is why I believe that the battle of Gog and May Gog will happen in that day at

the return of Christ.

Revelation 19 and let's pick it up at verse 17.

And I saw an angel standing in the sun and he crowed with loud voice saying to all the

fows that fly in the midst of heaven, come and gather yourselves under the supper of

the great God, the very same language described in Ezekiel 39 17 through 19.

It says that after the battle of Gog and May Gog, there's going to be a big feast for

the birds of prey.

The same thing here in verse 18 and the very same language, Revelation 19, 18, that you

may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of captains and the flesh of mighty men and

the flesh of horses and of them that sit on them and the flesh of all men, both free and

bond, both small and great.

And there you go.

So the reason why I say I believe Gog and May God will be at the end is because of the

very same language there is what we see the book of Revelation saying when Jesus returns.

So in that day, we're going to have all the armies of the world gathered against Jerusalem.

Now what's going to happen is very surprising.

And I guess it shouldn't be a surprise, but let's go back and pick our text up in Zechariah

chapter 12 and let's pick it up in verse 4.

In that day, and there's our phrase again, and the word of God and the prophet Jeremiah and

the real author of scripture, the Holy Ghost are so consistent and they give us these

markers in that day is going to carry us all through these three chapters and it's going

to find what that day is and it's going to show us the final hours of human history.

And it says in that day, say of the Lord, I will smite every horse with astonishment

and his rider with madness and I will open my eyes upon the house of Judah and I will

smite every horse of the people with blindness.

And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall

be my strength in the Lord of hosts their God.

In that day will I make the governors of Judah like a hearth of fire among the wood and

like a torch of fire in a sheath and they shall devour all the people around about on

the right hand and on the left and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place

even in Jerusalem.

The Lord also shall save the tents of Judah first that the glory of the house of David

and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.

In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem and he that is feeble among them

at that day shall be as David and the house of David shall be as God and the angel of the

Lord before them.

So we're going to see in this final conflict when all of these nations are coming against

Jerusalem God's going to intervene and he's going to fight for Jerusalem and these enemies

are going to be routed and we're going to be looking at what the Bible says about the

conversion of the Jews and there's so much controversy about this but there shouldn't

be because the Bible clearly tells us and we're going to read it and it says plain as day.

Most people are going to believe what the Bible says but we're going to read it and we're

going to at least give people the option of believing what the Bible clearly says.

Now Zechariah chapter 12 and let's look at verses 10 and 11 and here is another definite

marker and what we're using and you know I've mentioned several times the Puritan Joseph

Carl and Joseph Carl took the book of Job and he preached every sermon out of the book

Job and he coordinated all of the word of God into it and we can do the same here with Zechariah 12.

We can take Zechariah 12 through 14 and we can coordinate all of Bible prophecy into it.

The Bible is such a supernatural book that you couldn't do that if it wasn't a supernatural book

as I found out that I often say in my testimony that I when I found out that God wrote a book and

many many decades later that book that God wrote is still fascinating me and bringing much revelation

to us. Now let's look here and let's pick it up let's just pick it up in verse 9. It says in

that show Zechariah 12.9 and it shall come to pass in that day that I will seek to destroy all

the nations that come against Jerusalem and I will pour upon the house of David and upon the

inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplication and they shall look upon me

whom they have pierced and they shall mourn for him as one mourneth for his only son and shall be

in bitterness for him as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. Now we see the Bible says

that at the time Jesus returns they're going to be people there in Jerusalem that when they see

Jesus returning they're going to be deeply repentant and no doubt there are repentance and coming

to Christ will be before that final second but the Bible says a lot at well the Bible says what it

says about the conversion of the Jews and we're going to show that to you and and of the people in

Israel and of ethnic Jews but this isn't what is popularly taught and we're going to be showing you

some quotes from some of the people and what they say and you know to me it's just not believable

and I think probably to you most of you it will not be either. Now I want to give a little commentary

here from Mark Bota's commentary on Zechariah which is really excellent. This is a really big

commentary on a little bitty book and I want to share with you what some of the significance of this

word mourn is here in the text of Zechariah 12 and he brings it out very well. Now this is what

brother Bota writes. He says a view on the background of this morning ritual takes his lead from the

myth and ritual of Canaanite religion. The phrase Haddad Ramon is an aromatic epitaph for the God

Bale whose death and resurrection figures prominently in Canaanite mythology and religion

and we've talked many times about the dying God who died and was resurrected. This is Easter to

Christmas nine months and these are the pagan rituals. That's you know there's so many reasons

to get on to Passover and get off Easter and this is the the war from the roof of pagan religion.

These pagan times was intricately tied with the worship of their God. Jesus didn't die on Easter.

He died on Passover. Yes that's right. Now he goes on to say first Kings 18 depicting Bale's

prophets performing mourning rights by cutting themselves when Bale did not respond to their

cries. First Kings 1828 and we see that there in the text with Elijah when these pagan prophets

would cut and mutilate themselves and we still see this concept the inflicting of pain on

yourself the inflicting of pain and even human sacrifice in this abominable satanic cult.

Now this morning is another signature for timing and here again we're not going to just say I

think this I think that let's go to scripture and let's see exactly where scripture points

and here again we see a perfect correlation of all of these events and it's not that hard.

The Bible says in Zechariah that there are going to be people in Israel and indeed ethnic Jews

that when Jesus returns and they really said there is they're going to mourn and they're going

to realize man how wrong was I and and like I say I believe their actual conversion

is going to be before that. Now in Matthew 24 let's read in verse 29 and there's no need for

confusion like we said at the outset of this lesson truth is in the simplicity well as Jesus

returning before or after the tribulation there's a simple answer here for people most people aren't

going to accept it and just think about that. I often I really rings in my ears that I heard a

preacher one time and he was preaching on the radio and I just happened to turn it on and catch it.

He says why didn't Jesus tell us there's so much controversy is Jesus coming before or after

the tribulation why didn't he tell us well he did tell us but people will not accept it because the

doctrine of Christ has been nullified in the minds of the modern evangelical church in America

and this is just one example of it but how straight and clear and simple this is. Matthew 2429

immediately after the tribulation of those days now you don't have to be a rocket scientist to

understand that you have to have a pure heart of faith to believe it because if you believe that

you're going to be immediately at odds with the huge percentage of so-called American Christianity

immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened and the moon shall not

give her light and the stars shall fall from heaven and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken

and then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven and then shall all the tribes of the

earth mourn there it is now here's our signature and our connection it goes back to Zechariah 12

and it also we're going to connect it with the scripture and the book of Revelation that there

will be a morning when Jesus returns and a lot of this is going to come right out of Israel there

when their eyes first see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with the armies of heaven and it says

and then shall the tribes of the earth mourn and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of

heaven with paren great glory and he shall send his angels with the sound of a trumpet and they

shall gather together his elect from the four winds from one end of the heaven to the other now who

does the land of Israel belong to it's God's land he wants it and he's going to defend it when the

armies of the earth come in to take it he's going to blast them and guess who gets to go there

oh yeah uh have you ever or how are you at horseback riding you know uh we're going to be riding

over there to Israel and the land will be ours the Israel of God will have the land of Israel

and it will be the new heaven and the new earth and uh it's an exciting thing to think about

but God is jealous over Israel he's jealous over that land it's going to be given to the

Israel of God just as was promised in the ancient covenants now let's go forward to the book of

Revelation and we have another definite connection revelation chapter one verse seven and how

any it is there there's not even a remote possibility that the secret preacher's true it's

absolutely impossible there's not the incity-teensiest chance that this could be true it's a total fraud

it's a total lie it's a total of I often call it John Darby sky castle because what people do

instead of just plainly reading what the Bible says it doesn't say anything like they say

they'll say well here's what's going to happen they get the scenario and they try to fit the word

of God into their scenario instead of just plainly reading what the word of God says let's read

Revelation one seven nothing going to be secret or quiet about this revelation one seven be

holy come up with clouds we just read in Matthew 24 how that he's going to come in the clouds

after the tribulation and people there's going to be a great morning among the tribes

implicating their pointing us to Israelites of the flesh that are going to mourn now behold he

come with clouds and every I shall see him hard to get a secret rapture out of that in it and they

also that pierced him now we remember we in Zechariah they're going to look upon him who

need pierced and mourned here we have it the Bible is just so so amazing and so clear and they

also which pierced him and all the tenders of the earth shall wail because of him even so amen now

that word wail and I'm sure that you've all seen and I can't do it and I'm not going to try to

do it or make mockery of it but Arab women Muslim women and Arab women as well as Jewish women

when they lament they'll do this high pitched little wail it's a wail and I'm sure you probably

know what I'm talking about not a wail but a wail w-a-i-l and let's look that up in our Websters 18

28 it means to lament to moan to be wail to weep to express sorrow audibly loud weeping violent

limitations it's loud cries of sorrow deep lamentation it's a loud and you know you've heard

this I'm sure the way that it's done by Jewish and Arab women and this is what's going to happen

there's going to be a lot of wailing it's going to be loud there's going to be a mourn there's

going to be grief because so many people and and even you see Israel is going to realize and we're

going to see just what goes on here about this we're just going to show you because it's just

something to me uh how skewed it'll be just a little bit down but we're going to show you just

exactly about the conversion of Israel and just what exactly this is going to be but let's go to

let's go to Zechariah 13 and let's go to Zechariah the 13th chapter and let's continue to read

about what's going to happen in that day Zechariah 13 beginning in verse 1 in that day there again

and how consistent the word of God is it ties this together and always timing I think is one of the

hardest things in Bible prophecy understanding and getting timing right and here again simplicity

will read win the day all we got to do and the word of God has left us this trail of breadcrumbs

here in the great prophet Zechariah that we can find out what's going to be the last hours of

human history going to be like now Zechariah 13 and 1 in that day there shall be a fountain open

to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for unpleas and that is

indeed the cross of Calvary that will be opened and poured out upon them and in verse 2 and it

shall come to pass in that day say at the Lord of hosts that I will cut off the names of the idols

out of the land and they shall be no more remembered and also I will cause the prophets and the

unclean spirit to pass out of the land now it's a no-brainer you can ask yourself well has this

been fulfilled yet and when you look at Israel and what they're doing my goodness there's no way

that anyone with a sound line could say this has been fulfilled it has not now where a lot of

confusion comes in and let's go to the prophet Ezekiel let's go to Ezekiel in the 36 chapter and

what tremendous confusion is inserted by dispensationalists in so many ways and in so many places

and much of it is in regard to prophecies that will be fulfilled when Jesus returns

that they try to apply to 1948 and it is just absolutely ridiculous let's have an example here

let's go to Ezekiel chapter 36 and let's pick the text up in verse 23 and this also is talking about

the time when idols will be driven out of the land of Israel in Ezekiel 36 23 and I will sanctify my

great name which was profaned among the heathen which you have profaned in the midst of them and the

heathen shall know that I am the Lord say at the Lord God when I shall be sanctified before you

in their eyes for I will take you from among from among the heathen and I will gather you out of

all countries and that's referring to the Israel of God we read you the text in Matthew 24 we're

going to be gathered there uh at when the Lord returns we're going there that land is ours

and it says and I will gather you out of all countries and bring you into your own land that's

our land yet is then I will sprinkle clean water upon you and you shall be clean from all your

filthiness and from all your idols I will cleanse you now nobody that wants to look at this

prophecy objectively can say that this happened to the land of Israel in 1948 it absolutely did not

this cannot be applied now it is true right now that any individual Jew or Gentile we can be sanctified

and we can be saved and we can have clean water sprinkled upon us but there's no way the land of

Israel has been cleaned for cleanse from idols it's got bunches of them and the unclean spirit is

definitely roaming in the land of Israel now verse 26 a new heart also will I give you and a new

spirit will I put within you and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and I will give

you a heart of flesh and I will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statues

be obedient to God's law now this prophecy is certainly true for every born again Gentile or Jew

anybody that's born again the spirit will be within them the law will be written upon their heart

to walk in the statutes of God and this would beg the question then why are so many people that

claim to be born again not wanting to walk after God's law and I think there's some obvious

conclusions there you can draw from that I will put my spirit within you and we'll cause you to

walk in my statues and you shall keep my judgments and do them and there you go we see here that the

time of the cutting off of idols is in that day and when the Lord comes back in that day the idols

are going to be cleansed from Israel that hasn't happened the unclean spirit is running a mock

in the land of Israel today but there will be a time when that cleansing of idols will happen

and it's going to be in that day now let's go on in Zechariah 12

let's go back to our text Zechariah chapter 12

and we're going to read verse 4

Zechariah chapter 12 and verse 4 in that day say of the Lord I will smite every horse with

astonishment and his rider no excuse me I want 13 for let's go up to chapter Zechariah 13

and the fourth verse Zechariah 13 for and it shall come to pass in that day there's our phrase

again it shall come to pass in that day that all the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his

vision now just think about that the whether you're you're an intentional deceiver or not

everyone that preaches pre-trib rapture is a false prophet there's just no way around that

and what a shame it's going to be when people are proved to be obviously wrong you know when

Jesus comes in the clouds at the end of the tribulation the people that I've been teaching this

pre-trib rapture and you see there's bookends of prophetic error the SLS teaching which is just

preterism it says that you know the we're in Satan's little season now and therefore don't

worry about some future little season of Satan the pre-trib rapture people they say well don't

you worry about it because we're gonna be out of here before it happens and preterism and the

pre-trib rapture were both started by Jesuits you know the the Jesuits and the 1500s began to

teach that Jesus returned in 80 70 that's because people the good old Geneva Bible when it come out

people were leaving Catholicism by droves because when they saw what the word of God said they

knew that Catholicism wasn't that so therefore you know whenever one began to see wow one of them

popes is going to be the false prophet so what do you do well you come up with a scheme whereby

you clear the pope and if you say well that the tribulations already over therefore the pope

can't be the future false prophet doesn't that work out nice for him so you see these preterism

and dispensationalism they're bookend doctrines both started by Jesuits they both have a common

objective to put the Israel of God asleep that they will not be prepared spiritually or physically

for that which is coming that's right now that the prophet shall be ashamed every one of his

and I just got to think too let's think about your average guy and your average girl

they've been attending a dispensational church they've been taught rapture you're you're not going

to see the tribulation you're not going to see the beast and when they finally figure out well we're

in the tribulation and we're looking at the beast I think there's well I believe there's people

going to be looking for some of these preachers to put a weapon on them I just really believe they

will because it's this is a lie that is of such a magnitude that you know we just can't let this

state because the spiritual and physical lives of so many people believe in Japan just reading the

Bible and what the Bible says but the text here says I'll read it again I now get through it

this time Zechariah 13 and 4 and it shall come to pass in that day that the prophets shall be

ashamed every one of his vision when he at the prophesied neither shall they wear a rough garment

to deceive now once again let's cross cross reference that with the great prophet Jeremiah and

let's go to what is called the temple discourse of Jeremiah in the sixth chapter of Jeremiah and

let's pick it up in verse 13 for from the least of them even under the greatest of them everyone

is given to covetous full stock now how you know you say well they all can't be greedy can they

they can't all be greedy well it's just like I learned years ago when I was negotiating labor

contracts to acquiesces to consent when you're in contract negotiations and the the other side puts

something on the table if you don't object to it you buy it to acquiesces to consent little rules

of labor negotiations now here is the same thing it says here from the least of them even

under the greatest now when you're part of a corrupt system now let's just take television

evangelists and boy we could mention a lot of names but the basic thrust there's a there's a lot

of people that I guarantee you if you just happen to pop in one of the broadcasts they're going to

be asking for money and it'll be this so seed against your need so seed against your need and

the seed faith which was it was actually begun by oral Roberts and it's a subtle shift from the

truth what to really unpack that in depth one of these days but you see if you're on could you

just imagine being on one of these big network productions and there they are they're into the heart

bother hitting people for money and the phones are ringing and all of a sudden but now wait a minute

that's not what the bible says you're going to be out of there and you see if you're going to be a

part of that little club you're going to keep your mash up and you're going to go along with it

and the people that are have their closed mouths they can't say anything about anything they're

going along whether it's a television evangelist or whether it's the apostasy that is being

promoted out of most of the assemblies here in America and even around the world if you can't open

your little pile hole your gillies they are you're as gillie of covenants as the whole system because

if you don't go along with it you won't be a part of the system that's the way this game is played

so that's why the prophet Jeremiah who stood outside of the system said you're all greedy you're

all covetous come out from among them and be separate say the Lord God Jeremiah 613 for from the

least of them even under the greatest of them everyone is given to covetness and from the prophet

even under the priest everyone dealeth falsely they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people

slightly saying peace peace when there is no peace well that rings that rings a little timely

doesn't it peace peace when there is no peace peace when you see there is no peace to a nation or

a people that is ignoring God's law there there is no peace to people that are prophesying false

assurance unto people and that's what it is so very much here we see that in that day the false

prophets there is going to be no debate in that day over what the Bible says and who's prophesying

true and who's prophesying falsely now let's get to it here in Zechariah chapter 13 and verse eight

and there's all kinds of things that are taught about all Israel being saved and we're going to look

at that text but let's look at what the Bible says and the Bible does speak to a mass of people

in the land of Israel and also of physical genetic Hebrews being converted at one time in the last

days and this is the text and this is the only one you'll find but let's read Zechariah 13 verse eight

nine and it shall come to pass in all the lands sayeth the Lord and we're talking about here the land

of Israel in that day and it shall come to pass that in all the lands sayeth the Lord two parts

therein shall be cut off and die but the third shall be left therein that's that's the that's what

the Bible says two thirds die one third comes through there and a third of the people that's a lot of

people but two thirds are going to reject Christ they're going to die with the nations coming in

Jens Jerusalem but one third of the people are going to repent and they're going to come to Christ

right just at the very end and you see this is in that day this is just at the time when the Lord

returns and just the final hours that are leading up to it now and it says in verse nine Zechariah 13

nine and I will bring the third part through the fire and I will refine them as silver is refined

and we'll try them as gold as tried they shall call on my name and I will hear them I will say

it is my people and they shall see the Lord is my God now let's go to the book of Romans and we're

going to be looking at a text that there's all kinds of things that in my opinion are silly

and I'll just put it like that they're silly and that's probably too kind of an adjective for it

but there's a lot of this is a place where a lot of people just go off the rails

but let's look at Romans chapter 11 and let's look at verse 25 and 26

fry would not brethren that you should be ignorant of this mystery but it's good not to be

ignorant in it lest you should be wise in your own conceits that blindness in part

is happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles become in now this isn't speaking

of every physical Jew or every person in the land of Israel being saved and it's really

it's really clear now blindness in part has happened to Israel and to this day most people

in the land of Israel and most people that are ethnic Hebrews and we know that most of the people

in Israel are even ethnic Hebrews but it says until the fullness of the Gentiles become in

now when the Lord has brought in that number and that final number of the people that are

going to be saved then what we have read in Zechariah will be fulfilled there will be one third

that will be brought through and refined and the saved born again Gentiles plus the saved born

again Jews this is all of Israel Israel is a spiritual construct and Israel is made up the bible says

there's neither junior Gentile neither male nor female if you're in the Israel of God if you're

born again in Christ you're in the Israel of God and you're a Abraham seed and all Israel is

composed of every born again Jew and every born again Gentile this is all Israel all of the saved

from the old covenant that were saved in faith looking toward the Messiah that would come and all

that are saved now looking back to that great event of the cross of Calvary now let's look at what

some people say about this and I want to read from Jimmy Swagger's commentary and Jimmy is just

typical and there's different twists on this you'll find different variations on this but this

is pretty typical and this is what Jimmy says in his commentary he says the phrase and so all

Israel shall be saved refers to the individual salvation of each member of the nation of Israel

living at the time of the second advent so and he doesn't even this is the national aspect and

there's a genetic aspect in just a minute that's coming but he says that means everybody in the land

of Israel is going to get saved everybody and we just read in the Bible that ain't what it says

and you can't if you try to and use the Bible against the Bible you you don't come out with truth

but clearly they're misdefining Israel who Israel is Israel is a construct of the spirit and not

of the flesh now this is why they're going so horribly off the rails now I want to read a

scripture here in the book of Acts in the book of Acts and the 10th chapter and just right off the

top if you just think about this everybody in the land of Israel is going to get saved well how about

all the people in Czechoslovakia are they all going to be saved or how about the people in Poland

how about them and here the Bible says this and we have this in multiple texts but in Acts

the book of Acts in the 10th chapter and the 34th verse it says this then Peter opened his

mouth and said of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter persons now just ask yourself this

if God would save everyone in the land of Israel and not save everyone in Czechoslovakia and

send all of them to hell or just pick the nation he's going to save all of these but he's not going

to save all of these now that obviously makes God a respecter of persons and by the very nature

and attributes of God we can reject this now even further the Reverend Swagger wrote this

he says actually every Jew on the face of the earth at that time will be brought to Israel the

indication is that all will accept Christ as their Savior and Messiah so not only is everyone in

the land of Israel going to be saved but every Jew on earth is going to be saved in brought to Israel

and as we've just showed this as far from what the Bible teaches we are the ones the

usual of God that we're going to be taken there when the Lord returns let's get another text

in James chapter 2 in the book of James in the 2nd chapter and we're going to look at verse 8 and 9

James chapter 2 verse 8 and 9 and the scripture says here if you fulfill the royal law according

to scripture thou shalt love thy neighbor as myself you do well but if you have respect to persons

ye commit sin God is holy God can't sin God cannot be a respecter of persons by the very nature

and attributes of God their interpretation is shown to be false isn't it it says and are convinced

of the law as transgressors to do that would be to break the law of God God doesn't break his own

law God does not respect for persons therefore we know that we have the wrong interpretation there

now many people down through time have had the correct interpretation and I want to go back to

the time of the Protestant Reformation and let's read from John Calvin uh John Calvin wrote this

in his commentary we could go back before that even earlier to Theodore and Augustine and others

that held this view before Calvin but he said a good standard for the reformers on this text he said

many many understand this of the Jewish people as though Paul had said that religion again

would be restored among them as before but I extend the word Israel to all the people of God

according to this meaning praise God when the Gentiles shall come in the Jews also shall return

from their defection to the obedience of faith and that's exactly what we're read to you there in

the Zechariah 13 when a third would come through and it says the same manner of speaking we find

in Galatians chapter 6 and verse 16 and we will read that text to you because this also is very very

confirming Galatians chapter 6 and verse 16 it says and as many as walk according to this rule

peace be upon them and mercy and upon the Israel of God now remember our rules of interpretation

we will let scripture interpret scripture now there's something here in Romans 11

let's go back and let's read verse 25 and 26 again fry would not brethren

that you should be ignorant of this mystery lest you should be wise in your own conceits

that blindness in part has happened to physical Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles come in

or all of the Gentiles that God's going to save or save so all Israel shall be saved now here's our

clue as it is written boom Paul just quoted the Old Testament so how would we understand

what this means well how about we go back to the text Paul quoted and it will make perfect sense

let's look at the prophet Isaiah and right here Paul was quoting Isaiah chapter 59 and verse 20

and this is what Isaiah 59 20 says and the Redeemer shall come to Zion and unto them that turn from

transgressions in Jacob say at the Lord now this doesn't say that the Redeemer is going to come

and everybody in the land of Israel is going to get saved and every Jew all over the earth is going

to get saved but it says let's read it again and in Romans 11 25 and 26 Paul posts this and said

as it is written boom it's right here and the Redeemer shall come to Zion and unto then that turn

from transgressions in Jacob that'll be a third according to the prophet Zechariah not everybody

sayeth the Lord there it is and when we let scripture and turf with scripture we're going to see

that like so many things what we are being told about Bible prophecy just is not true this

is coming from false prophets that when the Lord shows up in that day they're going to be ashamed

and the folly you know more and more people all the time are it is still dispensationalism has a

total lock on the mainline Christian broadcasting but more and more people all the time are dumping

this doctrine because it's wrong it's not just wrong there's not even a chance that it might be

right it's that bad it really is that bad and it's spiritually dangerous that's why we have to

speak of it it's not just to say well I'm smarter than you are it's not a matter of intellect it's

just matter of spiritual honesty and a pure heart to follow after the truth of God and not about

that which is popular now let's go to Zechariah chapter 14 Zechariah chapter 14 and welcome everybody

to Epogeecy Radio Friday Night Live and if we welcome a lot of our new subscribers here this

evening and I just want to say as I do often you probably never heard of if you're coming from

mainline evangelical background we're glad those are the people we want to we want to speak to

we want to speak to everybody but we want to point out some obvious things to you that might make

you consider you've heard things a little bit wrong but welcome to Epogeecy Radio we're honored

that you will come and listen to what we have to say here now let's go to Zechariah chapter 14

verse one behold the day of the Lord come up now right here we've got a a transition it's been in

that day in that day now the day of the Lord in that day is defined here in Zechariah 14 and one

as the day of the Lord and boy you look at what dispensationalists say of the day of the Lord they'll

say well it'll begin at the rapture and it'll go completely through the millennia right in the day of

the Lord is over a thousand years long but you know and here again the truth is in simplicity what

is the day of the Lord it's the day of the Lord the day the Lord returns and that's the simple truth

of the word of God and the complexity how in the world they come up with these explanations the

way they come up with them is because they have to somehow make all their little scenario work

and the the efforts they go through to do this are really pretty phenomenal but Zechariah 14

and one behold the day of the Lord come up and by spoil shall be divided in the midst of the

for I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle remember we had this in Zechariah 12 1 through

three we had the the nations in that day coming against Jerusalem so now here in Zechariah 14 the

day of the Lord is the day when all the nations are coming against Jerusalem therefore letting the

Bible interpret the Bible in that day is the day of the Lord it's definitive if people want to accept

what scripture says if you don't you can make up anything you want to or you can follow after

any old thing but it won't do you any good because thus say if the Lord is what matters be hold

the day of the Lord come up and by spoil shall be divided in the midst of the

for I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle and the city shall be taken in the houses

rifled and the women ravished and half of the city shall go forth into captivity and the residue of

the people shall not be cut off from the city so half of Jerusalem will be taken but that's as far

as they're going to get and of the total people there a third of them are going to be brought

through and refined in the fire that's what the word of God says now let's think a little bit

about the day of the Lord and let's look at what scripture teaches now let's go to the prophet

Zephaniah Zephaniah chapter one verse 14 and 15 and it really troubles me the light

and the frivolous attitude that so many people attach to their pre-tribulation rapture teaching

their hat they they have their little cliches over there or in the air you know and it's aha

he over there in the air not very good attitude to have a very light and frivolous attitude about a

very very serious biblical topic Zephaniah chapter one and let's read verses 14 and 15 the great day

of the Lord is near it is near and hasteth greatly even the voice of the day of the Lord the mighty

man shall cry there bitterly it's going to be rough stuff it's not going to be a happy church

that day is a day of wrath it's going to be the pouring out of wrath upon the nations that come

against Jerusalem and upon all that have opposed Jesus a day of trouble and distress a day of

wasness and desolation a day of darkness and gloominess a day of clouds and thick darkness a day of

the trumpet and alarm against the defense cities and against the high towers let's go to the the

prophet amus and let's look what the prophet amus had to say in amus chapter five in verse 18 it says

woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord now more think about this woe unto you that desire

the day of the Lord evidently there were some folks in that day that were desiring the day of the

Lord and I mean over at happy church they're they're just all happy and all about their their

rapture they're ready to go they're happy they're thankful they won't be here to go through

anything rough but listen to what it says woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord to what

end is it for you the day of the Lord is darkness and not light as if a man did flee from a lion

and a bear met him or went into the house and leaned on his hand on the wall and the serpent

bit him shall not the day of the Lord be darkness and not light even very dark and no brightness in

for those that are born again we're going to come through the fire just like the third

there in Jerusalem but for those that's going to be such a horrible day of judgment and it's

going to be a very very very sad event in the prophet Zechariah the prophet Zechariah let's go to

chapter 14 and let's read verses 3 and 4 Zechariah 14 verse 3 then shall the Lord go forth and

fight against those nations as when he fought in the day of battle and his feet shall stand in that

day upon the Mount of Olives which is before Jerusalem on the east and the Mount of Olives shall

cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west and there shall be a very great

valley and half of the mountains shall remove toward the north and half of it toward the south

in that day the day of the Lord is here explicitly to find in that day Jesus coming back

the in that day is the day of the Lord when Jesus returns and puts his feet upon the Mount of

it is indisputable that this is what the Bible teaches just a simple following through the

scriptures of in that day you can know the truth if you want it and I know that I'm speaking to the

choir for so many of our FOJC listeners but I really really hope and pray that this message gets

into the ears of many people that really need to hear it it's a serious serious time because

things could go sideways any moment now let's look at a couple confirming scriptures

let's go to the book of Revelation chapter 19 and we saw this just a little bit ago that

Jesus will fight against those armies when he returns and here's another obvious point of contact

connecting in this day in the day of the Lord with the day of the Lord's return in Revelation chapter 19

in verse 14 we read it a few moments ago and the armies which were in heaven followed him

upon white horses clothed in fine linen clean and white let's look at the book of Acts and that

the Bible here is so clear and so definitive we read in the book of Zachariah how that when the

Lord returns he is coming to the Mount of Olives he's going to put his foot on the Mount of

Olives and he is going to split it down the middle here it won't be quiet friends let me tell you

that won't be quiet won't be quiet it won't be secret in Acts the first chapter and here is just

another clear straight up truth that is just trampled into foot by this unfortunate doctrine

Acts chapter 1 verse 9 and this is spoken of the ascension it says and when he had spoken

these things while they beheld he was taken up and a cloud received him out of their sight and while

they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up Jesus they were physically watching Jesus

ascended to heaven as he went up behold two men stood by them in white apparel their angels

which also said ye men of Galilee why stand ye gazing up into heaven this same Jesus this same

Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go

into heaven Jesus ascended physically and visibly they watched him go up and they watched him go up

in the clouds Jesus is coming again in the clouds physically and visibly he ascended from the

Mount of Olives that same Jesus is coming back to the same place his foot will get it and it will

split down the middle the Bible is so amazing and so clear the the false prophets are going to

be left without excuse they're going to be left without excuse and there is certainly going to be

a great day of shame that is awaiting them and a great day of sorrow and mourning for all that

follow them in Zechariah chapter 14 let's read the 12th verse and and this shall be the plague

wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem their flesh shall

consume away while they stand upon their feet and their eyes shall consume away in their holes

and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth it's just like in a science fiction movie where

they're just going to get melted it's not going to be much of a battle it's uh it they're just

going to be obliterated and it's going to be the very holiness of God that these people in their

earthly bodies they're not going to be able to stand in the physical presence of God like Paul wrote

in Thessalonians that he will destroy the false prophet with the brightness of his coming the sheer

glory of his presence will destroy the flesh of sinful man now let's go to the doctrine Christ

and here again there is no reason if you get this wrong shame on you and you really have to get

your mr twister wrench out to I mean it's just it's twisting the word of God let's read of John

chapter 6 let's read verses 39 and 40 Jesus said this this is the doctrine of Christ you don't

want to go against this and he said and this is the Father's will

which have sent me that all of which yet given me I should lose nothing but should raise it up

again at the last day raise it up again at the last day the resurrection on the last day not seven

years before the last day like this sensationalist teach but the resurrection is the last day

and this is the will of him this is verse 40 we'll we'll have it again and this is the will of

him that sent me that everyone which see at the sun and believe it thought him may have everlasting

life and I will raise him up at the last day there it is again well let's confirm it even farther

let's go to John chapter 6 and verse 44 no man can come to me except the Father which have sent him

draw him and I will raise him up at the last day this is Jesus speaking we need to hear and believe

there's no need to be confused the only way confusion comes from the devil is when you doubt

Jesus and this is how the devil in the root in the to the beginning yeah half God said to God really

say that uh God didn't say that you can eat not die and it went from there didn't it well and

let's have it again let's go down to verse 54 John chapter 6 and verse 54 and the word says here

the words of Christ who so eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood has eternal life and I will

raise him up at the last day the resurrection is on the last day which is in that day the day of the

Lord that will conclude human history as we know it and this is what the Bible says about the final

of human history now let's go to 1 Corinthians chapter 15 and you know it makes your head

hurt you know the dispensationalist have a big job they teach that the resurrection happened seven

years before they split it into two well Jesus will have a secret rapture and then he'll come back

physically well I I tell you what they teach that the resurrection of Christians happened seven

years before the Lord returns this is nonsensical in John 5 we've read the text many times and let

me just read it again let's go to the gospel of John the Bible says that the wicked in the righteous

resurrected at the same time not different times says it very clearly John chapter 5 verse 28

marvel not at this for the hours coming in the which all that are in the grave shall hear his voice

and shall come forth they that have done good unto the resurrection of life and they that have

done evil unto the resurrection of damnation you know the popular teaching today is that the

resurrection of the just and the unjust is separated by seven years and for some schemes even longer

it's nonsensical and if we believe the doctrine of Christ we're going to reject this and they

have the big job of trying to tell people now the last day that's not really the last day

so you know they got a rough job and I don't see how and and there's deceiving spirits involved

and and here's another one this is the resurrection the last day according to Christ is the

resurrection of the godly and the ungodly at the same time and at the same hour and first Corinthians

chapter 15 verses 51 and 52 it says this behold I show you a mystery we shall not all sleep

but we shall all be changed in the moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump

for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed

and here again they got a big job there's seven trumpets sound in the book of revelation

and Paul said this is the last trumpet and they say well now this is the last trumpet but after

this last trumpet there's seven more trumpets under their scheme the last day ain't the last day the

last trumpet ain't the last trumpet you just listen to me and I'll explain to you how the last day

ain't the last day in the last trumpet ain't the last trumpet there's going to be some very very

ashamed false prophets when the Lord manifests and of course this is in 1st Thessalonians chapter 4 this

is the so-called rapture passage and as we have pointed out multiple occasions that the word

rapture not being there it's manufactured from a Latin translation harpazio and I'm sure most

of you understand that but the word from the scripture is perusia this is in 1st Thessalonians 4 15

it appears Matthew 24 3 1st Corinthians 15 23 used of at that day the day of the Lord when

Jesus physically returns just like he went away right back to the Mount of Olives 1st Thessalonians

chapter 4 let's read beginning in verse 13 and it's or verse 15 for this we say into you by the

word of the Lord that we which are alive and remain under the coming perusia the Lord shall not

prevent them which are asleep for the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout with the

voice of the archangel and with the trump of God that last trump and the dead in Christ shall rise

first then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet

the Lord in the air so shall we ever be with the Lord therefore comfort one another with these

words and that is our comfort this evening our comfort is not some false hope some deception that

will cause us to let down our spiritual and physical guard but our hope is in the reality of the

word of God and God's miraculous preservation and sealing of the Israel of God down through time

and with that with great thankfulness to all of you that were a part of this broadcast tonight

we were just so thankful and I know we got brother Bill and sister Donna in their moderating and

haven't been able to look at the chat much but God bless you all of you as always for being a part

what an honor and privilege it is to be part of the F O JC and brother David I'll just say this

shift I mean reality is not not looking it's looking kind of crazy right now and um really coming to

the king of kings and Lord of lords and coming back to Jesus to what it's all about because time

seems a little bit unsettling right now and time seems a little bit unsure there's a lot uh there's

not much insurance and man right now not really but there's always insurance assurance with Lord

Jesus Christ so that's kind of where I'm at with that and uh yeah what an honor it is brother David
