So we look that up to you tonight. We pray amen. All right the laws of purification Then we're going to be reading about both the spiritual and physical process at restored a quarantine person. It was unclaimed back to fellowship with the general population. Very important aspect of the way Israel.

Went through everyday life people became unclean and they had to be made clean and those two aspects of being unclean. There was a spiritual one in the physical one. So this was necessary because I'm clean people required to put the put out of the camp for. Time to pound away. They became unclean in the first place. I need to be a way to purify them. So God gave Moses all the instructions and how to do that way back in Exodus and a little bit kit Leviticus. Because I was rich over time consuming for the priests expensive for the average person. God created a new way to purify the people that was more effective efficient and less time-consuming. And that's our God. He's always trying to make things easier you always is that mean our lives as Christians much easier than allies of the Israelis the Jews and even the people lived back then we have modern plumbing. They didn't and you know, we can give God all the glory for that. He's made our lives easier. They're here on the day of atonement a special sacrifices made that was intended to make the whole nation clean. But because of people are constantly being made unclean for a lot of different reason God developed. What is called the red heifer sacrifice a lot of a lot of speculation a lot of opinions and theories about the red heifer thing. It's it's not as big a deal as you know, you'll hear about it, you know on TV or profetica teaches any time there was a need to purify someone's because the ashes of the red heifer was to be mixed with clean water cedar oil. He soft boil next door by the priest to be used whenever person became on claims that he had this concoction. That you cannot praise could use to anoint the people to make them clean. And this was a practical way to simplify the ritual the law of purification cuz over the next 38 years in the wilderness over a million people would die. In the desert that's almost a hundred a day. And that means it between 500 and 1000 people per day were made unclean when the family relatives of dead person came in contact with a dead body. There be made on cleaning from the old laws of purification that this would take quite a bit of work, you know to bring in an animal and have a sacrifice made and the priest to get all this work done to the Tabernacle was just overwhelming. So God see the need and he you feel that need by giving them this red heifer sacrifice.

So those who came in contact with the dead bodies need to be clean quickly and efficiently because the old way of attaining perfect station for the people. It was just taking just way too long. So this new red heifer sacrifice was like every other sacrifice because it was an illusion that pointed to the work that Jesus Christ with a farm for us on the cross at Calvary, you know, they're all these sacrifices were pointing to the sacrifice of Christ would make but because the red heifer was sacrifice outside the camp and will read about that next week in contrast to all other sacrifices that took place in the Tabernacle. This was closer to the way Jesus died. The heifer was to be taken outside of camp and butchered and sacrificed outside the camp and burn. So Jesus was also as we know sacrifice outside of City Jerusalem on the very spot where Abraham offered the life of his first son Isaac thousands of years or so, the lord always reminded over and over again the life of Isaac with spare and that same spot. Jesus would die on Calvary Hill and now that hum centuries year, but you centuries before the red heifer sacrifice was something that would mimic the death of Christ by being done outside of the camp and the sacrifice was what Paul was talking about Hebrews 9:13 faucet for if the blood of bulls and Gautam ashes of a heifer. Sprinkling the unclean sanctum price for the purifying of The Flash how much more shall the blood of Christ who threw the eternal spirit offered itself without a spot to God cleansing your conscience from dead Works to serve the Living God. So there you have Paul speaking of the ashes of the heifer that made human beings clean one of goats and Bulls in the ashes of a cow can make the people's bodies pure again, surely the blood sacrifice of Christ would do much more and that was this point By the blood of animals purify the Flesh of the people so they could be part of a holy nation that worship God you had to be clean the nation of Israel had to be a clean sandless nation. And if they send their needed to be something to atone for that sense of the people can continue to stay in fellowship with God. I was as clear as that and then I let that pours over into the church today. That is the will of God that the church be pure that we be sinless and that the sins that we do commit that we confess him so that the Lord can forgive them of us of us for them. polishers this that the blood of Jesus will make us completely clean from all the evil we have done and that is certainly something that we don't take for granted. It will give us a clear conscience so that we can worship the Living God in spirit and Truth here on Earth. And the longer that you will gain us access to Heaven because we will be declared righteous in Romans 3 verse 24 is his being justified freely by his grace through the Redemption that is in Christ Jesus. So this action called salvation through Grace is easy for most of us to understand as Christians, but not everyone agrees on how powerful the blood of Jesus really is throughout his real history. There was sacrifices over and over again to remind the people that the Messiah would come and because of the shed his blood that would be the final sacrifice. It would ever be made for mankind on Earth they can receive Apart for their sins so they could be saved by calling upon the name of Christ simple as that. So Israel was being used to convey that message to us and now here we stand here today. We look back at all this and it it's pretty pretty clear. You know how God uses his blood be shed. We're going to get saved but unfortunately because of the opposition in this world a lot of people don't even believe that This action call Salvation through Grace is easy for most of us to understand but not everyone does and that's a shame. And you know what? A lot of people believe a lot of Christians believe today is completely contrary to what the Bible teaches even though God's been so much time trying to teach us the example of Israel that are on the Earth today believe majority. That the Water Crisis only did some of the work of redemption and that is just so sad and I don't know when I think of the blood of Christ. I think of the most powerful thing that that that was ever done on our behalf. I mean, he said it was done on the cross. Meaning that it wasn't there need to be no more atonement for sin. Jesus was it but saying his managed to

why do most of the Christians that are alive today into believing that it's not enough?

So today the majority of Christians that live believe that they must add their salvation by contributing works and that there's no end to that the song written about it. There's so many opinions about it about what you need to do to add to your Redemption to your salvation and every church has got their own way of doing it and it's kind of ridiculous.

this discrepancy in the interpretation of Saving Grace is a problem, but we shouldn't be surprised or stumble by this because confusion has always been a problem with God's people people in general. In the talmud that is Israel's rabbinic. Holy book Revere that book second only to the five books of Moses. The rabbis claim that the red heifer sacrifice was the only one of God commands at King Solomon. The wisest man who ever lived claims, he did not understand. Alright by me made a big deal. This these guys are always thinking about things and when Solomon decreed that he understand the sacrifice they were confounded and they continue to this day to debate why

So that it stands at the question. How can the widest man on Earth? Not understand what God was doing through the heifer sacrifice. This is my son. If you receive my word and treasure my commands within you. So that you incline your ear to wisdom and apply your heart to understanding and I emphasize emphasize apply apply your heart to understanding verse 3. Yes if you cry out for discernment. And lift up your voices for understanding if you seek her as silver and search for her as a hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord is by the knowledge of God. That sounds like a lot of work.

Search for her head for a hidden treasure and I like to watch TV shows on TV once in awhile with it. Looking for Hidden Treasure. These guys can't find it and here it says the Lord tells us he be that diligent when it comes to understanding my knowledge. First sex and Providence uses for the Lord gives wisdom from his mouth comes knowledge understanding 470 stores up stories up. Stories of sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk uprightly. He guards the path of justice and perseveres. Where are the Saints and then you will understand righteousness and Justice equality and every good path.

Obviously the Lord is reminded here that you want to be wise you need to work at it. You would need to work hard at it and he says there's a dynamic it up. Other words if you're faithful to continue to be in the word and searching out after God's understanding and wisdom for your life. He's going to store it up. He's going to build it up. He's going to allow you at times to have Clarity that you didn't have before and we have to trust him for that. But the only way that that's going to be accomplished is through hard work. That's what the Bible tells us constantly that we need to be in the scriptures. And voice just been on my heart so much this week El Reno an article about this pastor that you know one day kind of woke up here. They're married 70 couples in their church and not one of those 70 couples were reading the Bible with each other at home and he had this Epiphany and he just freaked out what are we've been teaching our people and he got it all the pastor system Pastor together and he he made them pray and he said hey, we have to change our hearts. We're not changing the word of God property the word of God tells us as the Ministers of the word to be explained to the people that they need to be in the word and they need to be diligently seeking after that. The guy would have us to diligently seek out there. That's his windows so that we don't fall prey to the enemy. And that changes life and it changes Church.

The Bible makes it clear that in order to understand God's work properly and effort must be made that comes from a Heart of Love towards God. Otherwise, you're just going through the motions. What are you a Christian for if you're not seeking after him diligently? This reminds us Chrissy that because of Israel spiritual blindness the things that make sense to us. Don't make any sense to Israel. Solomon did not understand why numbers 19 declares that the priests would be unclean until evening after they perform the cleansing with a red heifer why this man on the earth had no idea what's going on, but we Christians do and what an honor that is how awesome that is a goddess allowed us to know that and understand that because Jesus Took on the sins of the world when he died for us. He was made unclean for a short time. 10 Corinthians 5:21 set for he made him who knew no sin to be sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in him. Harvills, it isn't as unpleasant as it is. Jesus became sin. For how long I don't know but he did and because of that. He was able to redeem us by the shed. He was blood all that's in that's in Partners from our sinful Behavior or our carnal nature our true nature. So in the same way Jesus the high priest. Was made unclean through sacrifice a priest would also be unclean. Atomic can see the spiritually so his high intellect is why we couldn't see the correlation and I'm going to make an appoint year. Now the wisest man on Earth can understand spiritual things. Well that gives us a clue about where spiritual things come from. Doesn't it? 1st Corinthians 1 verse 27 says but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise.

Doesn't matter how smart you are what your intellect is like. You know your ability to know who God is it's a spiritual thing. Are most Geniuses that exist today? And then they're not saying. It's a sad indictment on there, but people with IQs of iron hundred forty, you know less than a couple percent of them actually call themselves Christians now, they'd rely on their own intellect to protect themselves. How Christ pay the price for our sins on Calvary Hill and he alone he made his clean just as the red heifer was sacrifice outside the camp and contrast to all the other sacrifice that took place in the Tabernacle. Jesus was sacrificed outside the city of Jerusalem.

But there's more to the story because the red heifer was the only female animal the law commanded to be sacrificed. female animal heifer cow But we Christians know that our Lord was betrayed for 30 pieces of silver. And that was the price of a female slave of the time. So God is for humility was even betrayed for less than what he was even worse as a man and that's an indictment on the humility of our Jesus.

Tall is knowledge lined up. It lines up perfectly with our understanding of a crisis and fully amility died on the cross and he's almighty God he's aligned himself to be beaten put on the cross as loud as hell to be taken outside of the city and be sacrificed not even the Tabernacle where it would be certainly more of an honor to do it at for humility. He was taken out and the girl gets to the place of the skull ripped apart from limb to Limb and put up on the cross to bleed to death. Did Jesus were familiar with? Do Christians really understand the full depth of this atonement that Christ took on our behalf and a lot of that reason for that because they don't understand the Old Testament. No, not everyone hears from God for different reason. It's on his case. Maybe his sinful activity with Mormon women made him blind this Caillou in the browser. He certainly was a sinner. Surely that could have contributed to his blindness. He was doing a lot of bad things. Although he's a why this man in the world? But for others may be their ability to perceive all of God's biblical truth is concealed. because of Pride or laziness or for reasons only God knows so we we can't really know for sure. I've talked and talked to many Christians who are extremely confused about the relation with God.

You can lead them to the word of God where they can receive. Knowledge and inspiration for the Holy Spirit, but you can't make them accept the truth. No, one can do that and you don't even God doesn't do that. He doesn't forces incredible thing that God doesn't Force us to love him and I'm going where the sacrifices there's no sacrifice in the Bible that forces you to offer him a worship. It's got to come from your heart. Otherwise, it doesn't even matter. People think their tithes and offering this is what they're doing. In order to show their love for God will has an offer they're just so that the church continues to be maintained. That's not the Free Will offering the guys talking about he's looking for this and there's a big difference there. Now the Book of Daniel says that God ordered. That the Prophecies of Daniel be hidden from the world until the time was right. And you don't have this whole subject of what people knowing how they understand or perceive it. We can't know everything but we know a few things know, why was Solomon so blind? Why was he such a simple guy in the end of his reign as king? He was why is he knew everything you need to know but still he send? The Book of Daniel says and Daniel 12 forces, but you didn't shut the words and seal the book until the time of the end. So the wisdom that God made available to us Christians through the empowerment of Holy Spirit is endless and powerful and that's what Paul had in mind when he wrote this and 1st Corinthians 1:18. God chose Daniel long time ago. I'm going to give you this ujam out information. But this huge amount of information is not going to be known to everybody. It's going to be for specific generation and they will be blessed with the ability to understand that knowledge. Don't think about that. We at this time in in history understand that knowledge everything that Daniel Road has come to fruition we get it but for centuries Christians didn't have that ability to know that for specific reasons got hit it from them. And that's one of the things that we need to be aware of our God. He's so powerful. There's things that we don't know yet. We're not going to know until we get to have it. So we need to trust him and in ways that we can't even understand that we need to trust him in.

In 1st Corinthians 1 verse 18 Paul says for the message of the Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing but you us who are being saved. It is the power of God. We as Christians we get the the Bible verse 19 first written and he's going to throw it as their 29th. I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and bring it to nothing understand it a prudent. First 20 where is the wild? Where is the Scribe? Where is it? The speed of the age has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world percent the wisdom of God the world to wisdom did not know got it pleased God to the foolishness of the message priests preach to to save those who believe verse 22 for Jews request a sign and Greeks seek after wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified do the Jews a stumbling block into the Greeks foolishness. But to those who are called will Jews and greet Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God because of foolishness of God is wiser than men and the weakness of God is stronger than men. So it's it's pretty clear. We're always being taught that you know your intellect in your station in life and your situation has very little to do with how God empowers you with ability to serve him to love him to know him. It's beyond our ability to know but we're being assured and we're always being guaranteed that all we have to do is continue to persevere. And work hard at understanding what God's plan is for our particular lies and we're going to be okay. when a Christian Studies the Old Testament the Holy Spirit Powers us to understand so that we can see what the unsaved can't see.

Certainly, there is so much that. Fiance people in the world are so blind to that we take for granted. We don't say people think there were where's certifiable because we believe in the rapture. I mean, they actually will say and write articles that you know, we are under a mass hallucination illusion that has been perpetuated over Us by some type of spell so that we all believe that we're going to be wrapped around this Earthen which is completely ridiculous. But because you're so amazing that believe it they call it a mass illusion attributed to some kind of psychosis. Well, that's the way they're deciphering it. And we look at it as simply God taking us off of world or he's going to bring his wrath on it and she's going to judge the world and your Gods coming back and he's not happy with the way people have been treating him and us, you know, there's a lot of warnings if you mess with the church God's not going to stand for that and what we're after this world is going to be ravaged by what the wrath of God his anger against those who have come against him and through the tribulation. God is going to persuade Israel Dover their eyes finally and see who the real salvation comes from in S price. No cell phone there was a saved man. And from all the biblical evidence we have about him even though he backs Lisa Bernie at the end of his life in 1st Chronicles 20 verse 6 and sister. I have chosen him to be my son. This is God talking.

And I'll be his father. So the guy saying God chose Saul going to be a son and we know for sure that he was the wisest man that ever lived. Because we know that we also now that how he wisdom doesn't always mean that you can always understand God's ways.

So you don't make sense that we do not rely on our own understanding. That we remember that even when we think there were being wise or that we can discern and understand things think again. Because even the wisest of people have made mistakes.

Today we have many people to church you can't agree on biblical truth. But it's not because of a lack of wisdom because Solomon had it and he was still confused, right? God said I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and bring the nothing. They understand the Pruden eyes itch when I was 14. I did not staying and we can see that we need to rely on the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit to lead us the truth. Because of why in the Practical can't see it. Even if they read it for themselves. At the same time to Wisin the Practical or impressed with themselves and their own ability. It's a trap. Nigerian Jesus ministry, he prayed that his future followers us would exhibit a special kind of immunity. That would be a testimony to the world. He wanted us to be a sound unit. He prayed that the church be as United as he was with a Father John 17 verse 11 says now I am no longer the world but those are in the world when I come you only father keep through your name Those whom you have given me that they may be one as we are.

credible thing that Jesus prayed about you can't be more one than Jesus in the father. That that's that's me one and he pray that for us. That we would be United that way. Wow. That certainly that will happen, you know into eternity. We will be one with a raptor and having we're going to partake of the Lord's Supper all of us that have been raptured to Heaven are going to be trained to be priests and Kings the rule over the nation from for a thousand years as Israel's reinstated on the earth going to be a glorious an awesome time. So everything that God prayed for will come to fruition. But certainly you would have wanted that to happen now, but we don't see that. Jesus Jesus wanted to church to be a cohesive unit. So what happened and why is it true so divided well. Almost every biblical Doctrine in the Bible today is being disputed by some church some denomination. And again, this is not what Jesus wanted. Because for those who are not Christians, it's confusing. people that are looking for being called to fall out to the Lord, you know, they'll start looking for churches and it confused and wiser five churches on one street. What's the difference? How would I know and there's very few places where you can go and get that information.

Jesus prayed that the church will be one and because we aren't that should remind us of how much oppression the church is under and how prideful and carnal and fallible. Christian can be when it comes to interpreting the Bible.

We can't get smog about our understanding of the word of God. We need to and humility asked the Lord to the continue to lead us to truth. Three main branches of Christianity Today is ethernet Eastern Orthodox. That is based in Russia and Eastern Europe. Millions and millions of Eastern Eastern Orthodox people after that after the Roman Catholicism about a billion Protestants that are less than that. And all these three churches believe in Jesus, but that's where it ends. Because almost everything else at these three churches believe in class with the others about Doctrine and tradition. Paul told Timothy that the key to keeping the truth free from Biblical disputes and corals was to stay away from these people. So Paul says this is Timothy in 1st Timothy. 1:3 says as I heard you when I went to Macedonia remained in Ephesus that you may charge some that teach no other Doctrine North the fables and endless genealogies would cause disputes rather than Carly advocation, which is in faith. Now the purpose of the Commandment Is Love from a pure heart from a good conscious and from a sincere Faith from which some has strayed have turned aside idle talk designed to be teachers of the law understanding neither what they say nor the things that they affirm. Paul is saying it Timothy. Listen, son these false teachers don't debate with him or correct them. Just get the church away from them. And keep them out of the church.

Timothy wasn't supposed to listen to them or even consider the validity of their positions. That's what Paul commanded from him. He wasn't told to study their doctrines. He was told to get rid of them right away.

We haven't seen much of that I didn't. I'm in church history, but in 1517 Martin Luther. Did this very thing? Yeah, he did with Paul told Timothy to do to protect the church in 1517 Martin Luther. He took his 95 Theses nailed it up on the church wall in Germany. And that was the beginning of the Protestant movements. Were the protesters of Rome Protestants?

Turn away from all that the Roman Church has been teaching on salvation through works.

Because the Catholic Church taught that a person was saved by works and not grace alone. Martin's had to separate himself from them.

I blew his mind because he grew up a Catholic priest. the guy was out of the intellect that was above most and he was sitting in his Study One Day in Germany and you realize that nothing that he was being taught in the church lined up with the word of God.

So it goes to a superior and says, you know what I'm having trouble here. I'm confused. Nothing flying up here it goes and well the first thing you told me to quit reading that. But he said if you want to get closer to God go to the Vatican and go on a pilgrimage.

Tell Mark does that stops reading the Bible he goes on his pilgrimage and he goes up this one spiral staircase where it was said that if you crawl up it on your knees that you're doing the rosary that the Lord will sanctify you strengthen you and whatever else they say it would happen. So he's doing it and he gets about halfway up in the Lord kitchen.

And the Lord tells him he said we are justified by faith alone. And I heard those words from Christ and knocked and knocked him for a loop. He knew immediately. What's going on? He realized at that moment. We've been teaching the wrong Doctrine. It's not what the Bible says. That's why I'm upset. That's why I'm confused. It doesn't line up. So, what did he do? He worked hard in me? I mean he went against his Superior. He took a trip all the way to the Vatican not know I was going to leave him but he he started digging into it in the Lord revealed it to him because of his diligence. Thank God for that. He started the Reformation you started the protest against wrong. That's why we existed as protesters of room for autostance.

for the first time in centuries salvation through grace alone with now being taught by the Protestants and that free millions of Believers from the bondage of Performing Works to achieve salvation.

Martin Luther was trouble because what he was being Todd did not line up with the Bible. So he pressed into God like he was told to in the word of God. He actually did what the word of God said.

And because of that the Lord spoke to him in a supernatural Revelation from heaven.

I've been going through all these things Solomon and he doesn't have a clue about the Bible. The church today that they have all this information. We have the full counsel of God Old and New Testament. We have the Holy Spirit. Why are they so confused

there's a lot of reasons for those things but The bottom line is that we're carnal people. We have a sin nature and we're opposed by satanic beans that want to lead us away from the truth and they've been very successful at a 50 15 years. For the Reformation that happen all that time before that one lie after another was perpetuated itself to the people in the name of Jesus Christ. That's a position. James 1 replaces Benny wake of you lacks wisdom. Let him ask of God who gives to all liberally and without reproach and it will be given to him. Janice a hey the Lord has no problem giving you an understanding that will benefit you and your relation with him. He have no problem doing that. But it's something that needs to be pursued after. Luther was as simple as crying out to God for his truth to be affirmed it is mine. He was a Bible reader. He read the Old and New Testament, but because none of it made any sense because you've been talking pletely opposite. He was confused and he cried out to God in the Lord cleared that up for him. So our relationship with Jesus is based on the power of the Holy Spirit to reveal to our minds and hearts God's biblical truth. That's what we need to rely on. We both got spirit and his truth and that his wife Paul said this and Acts 20 verse 27 for I have not shown to declare to you the whole counsel of God. Everything we need to be saved and to have wisdom and understanding is in God's word, but it's two books. That's one of the main reasons why the church is so divided today. It's easy if you divide the Bible. The church is the body because I'm enjoying the churches don't encourage the individual members to read God's word in private or in small groups. The people their own private interpretation of God's word. So the people are deprived for the only offensive weapon that they had to fight off Satan's lies. And that is the sword of the spirit. As crazy as it sounds and it is crazy. What is happening to church that God's soldiers. You have been told to put on the full armor of God every morning and prayer protect themselves against evil principalities. The power is that these evil principality possess and there's a massive against the Demonic rulers of Darkness that Satan controls and against a simple hosts of wickedness in Heavenly places that have highly organized battle plans to destroy our faith. This is what we've been told to pray for every morning that we have the form of God on to protect ourselves against all this.

And against the fiery darts of Satan who never sleeps we're taught to put on the full armor of God to fight off this assault on individual and the church. And we have been instructed to Be watchful and live with perseverance and a pray for all the saints. We are asked to do all that and God's holy Bible, but the church the institution of the church then turn around and deprive the people of the most important part of the armor. Sword of the spirit that has the word of God. That's what the church then the third Century took the word of God right out of her once had no you no longer can use the sword of the spirit. You're on your own.

An any army without a sword is destined to be slaughtered and that's what happened. The church has been slaughtered spiritually slaughtered into believing lies and we find ourselves now in the 20th century facing that. That reality.

In most of the church in the world that claim to love Jesus they have created generations of uninformed biblically illiterate Christians. Christians who can easily be deceived and they are and the proof is that they believe that they don't need to read the Bible. There's a proof.

I don't think they need to read the Bible not a necessity. It's not that big of a deal. I'm being taught at my church what I need to understand about My Relations gone. Now. It says it's a lie, and they've all fallen for it.

the recently Jeff Johnson was he decided that he was going to allow anyone to bring electronic Bibles into the church anymore. He said I want everyone opening up those pages and folding them. I want you guys to be familiar with the word of God. We're not going to fall back into the Middle Ages where everyone just kind of took for granted what was being said on the pulpit. We got to get back in the word and read it for ourselves everyday. I have electronic Bible in certainly understand Jeff's position here, and I totally agree with it. And we need to take responsibility for something read the word of God. As I read it as you read it. Otherwise we're setting ourselves up for Destruction make no bones about it. You know don't think that all he knows how to read the Bible literally read it every day. I'm going to I'm going to persecution of what's going to happen. Just the way it is.

America today the Old Testament is almost never trying to churches in favor of Gigi for the New Testament. So the people of only if they even have it have a partial sort, so it's like a half sword because they're deprived the olden you now that can't the old and then you can't be reinforced with the power of knowing both. And we need to know both very enforce each other. I'm going through both the new and the Old Testament as I read each. One of them each. One of them is reinforcing the other in my understanding of what being said.

Sheridan and the more I do it just the more I'm I'm grateful to God for the way that he's allowed me to be disciplined enough to do it. Chuck Todd it but a lot of calories are starting to drift away from this.

The Book of Revelation has over 800 references to the Old Testament. Most Christians don't know that. Are most Christians don't teach. GSAT so ignorance of God work God word is forced on the people. They don't know anyting there's so much to learn and they're not being taught any of it and they're being taught are actually the opposite of it. The Old Testament really reinforces and reveals the truth about the end times in a way that cannot be understood from any other position. You can understand times unless you go to the Old Testament. Bible school, we went through a month or we start from the beginning and went to the end and went through all the scriptures that pertain to the Old Testament to the the end of the age and the Old Testament was half of that.

So no wonder people don't believe in the Rapture today or that they make fun of the end time scenario. The Raptors illustrate in the Old Testament burst with Enoch who was taken to Heaven alive before God's Judgment of the flood wiped out billions of people. The most Christians they don't know that after that Elijah was taken to Heaven a lie, so that God could use him during the last week of Daniel help Israel repair, but most Christians don't know that and Elijah was the most powerful of God's prophets in the Old Testament. Malachi 4 verse price if you hold I will send you Elijah the prophet before they come in the great and Dreadful day of the Lord and He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers less. I coming straight to your ass with a curse.

Elijah return the Earth after he was raptured to help God's Plan of Redemption for Israel is consistent with God's plan for the church will also never taste death. Return of the Earth with Jesus to help run the newly-established Jewish Nation for a thousand years and most Christians don't know that why was why you taken up bodily cuz he was a demonstration representation of the fact that we're going to be taking a bottle e I'll be brought back to help run the millennium. Same thing with Elijah and his case. You'll be helping Israel. But the same thing applies we're here to help the Miami chain of God's kingdom. Jesus says pray that my will be done on Earth as it is in heaven.

He did that because we're part of his family were part of his staff that is going to rule and reign with him on the Millennium. That's the whole point of it. But very few people know that even Christians in the church don't know that and this is a tragedy and it's causing a lot of Destruction and a lack of faith in the church. We have important mission to fulfill. At is to as we're on this Earth today Make Disciples of all nation and prepare ourselves for the Rapture be Rapture Ready in expectancy living every day a holy life like in a holy so that at any moment we could be taken up so that the Lord's plans can continue. That's part of participating with God's plans to be out of his will is to be doing anything contrary to that and that's what the majority of the church is doing today. They're doing everything contrary to what God would have us to know and understand about what we should be doing right now. Let's pray father. We thank you Lord for your word. We thank you Father for all that you giving us to understand and be well aware of what's going to happen at this time in the future Lord and how we are to conduct ourselves as Christians at this time in this age. We pray and ask for that you would strengthen us in our resolve to President of the things of God to realize and understand our sin nature and our inability father to understand these things unless it is super naturally provided for us by your holy. Rely on you wholeheartedly Lori pray. You wouldn't matter heart strengthen his father. It was an it to NASA TV father to be in your word give us up. Just a diligent father that gives us a passion to be in your word reading your word father crying out that you would give us more and more understanding so that we can live for you and be effective. Does anyone here tonight is not know Jesus as their lord and savior, and if you would like to accept him tonight as your lord and savior. I was just having to raise it for Hannah by doing so you be sayin yet Pastor, please pray for me tonight, and I can receive Christ and do that in your hand.

The tragedy of the confusion of the church today is a reality father that we all need to be praying about and meditate about father. We pray that the eyes of the Christians would be open. Your father would be an understanding that would lead them to prayer and the reason of your word father to help them to understand where we stand with you right now. There's only one truth about the future the very few understand it no it or even care. So we looked up prayers for I sell more continue to strengthen us as individuals and of the church Lord to continue in the word to continue in the truth and Asik after Lord, so that nothing would destroy it like faucet is Timothy is something gets in between you and the word of God get rid of it. Do not allow it to fester in your life or in your church. So we left all that if we thank you. We love you and it's in Jesus name we pray. Everyone.
