1:01:21Alright! It’s about to get weird. We’re about to cross over the great divide. Somehow we have been conditioned from all the misguided arguments telling the church to remain out of the sector of the state, that we are only allowed to have God thoughts on Sunday. We, as the church, must stay in our “lane.” Let me tell you something, the separation of church and state was to protect the church from the overreaching arm of the state. The church has every right to peer into and review all things related to life. After all, Jesus is not just the King of the Israel and His church, but He is after all, the rightful King of all the Universe. He has no “lane.” All belongs to Him. We should not be afraid to tackle any subject. There was a day when the church was told to be quiet while the slave trade flourished. It was a mistake. Pastors told their churches to sing louder while train cars filled with Jewish men, women and children were running in hearing distance behind church buildings. It was a mistake. We do not pick the times in which we live. You and I don’t get a choice about our generation, or the year of our birth. We don’t get to choose which injustices we must endure, or what nation we are born into. In that sense, we are all responders. Our timeless salvation plays out in real time and space. Our Christianity is not meted out within a vacuum. All that being said…let’s talk about aliens. I. THE UFO PHENOMENON A. There is a worldwide phenomenon happening right now concerning the UFO’s, alien abduction, and a hybridization program. B. Since I’m more than sure that you can google UFO sightings, I won’t spend any time playing you those videos. Obviously some are fakes, but there are others that are verifiable. You could go and spend hours researching just UFO sightings. One thing is clear, this is happening, this is happening with thousands of witnesses, sometimes even happening with thousands of witnesses at once, and this is happening all over the world. If I choose to not talk about it, it doesn’t make the phenomenon go away. C. For many years as I’ve studied these things out, I’ve wondered at the wisdom of going on record to share a Biblical perspective around this subject. Even as I prayed about whether or not to teach this series, I was convinced while listening to a man who has spent much of his career studying these things out. He said, “This phenomenon isn’t going away. It is progressing, and it is progressing quickly.” Somehow, these statements convinced me that I must not shrink back from giving the best defense and invitation I can from the Gospel. D. You may be shocked to find out that there have been historical accounts of UFO sightings that date all the way back to 1440BC, the first being recorded by the Pharaoh of Egypt, Thutmose III . E. In 70AD, the year Rome destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem, this was recorded: “A bright light over the Temple in Jerusalem . On a later day there appeared in the air over the whole country chariots and armed troops coursing through the clouds, surrounding the cities.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_reported_UFO_sightings) Ephesians 6 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. F. Jesus said this… Luke 10 17 The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!” 18 And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. 20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” G. Whether you want to believe it or not, we are plainly told in the scriptures that there is another reality, or another dimension (if you will) that is interacting, and at times intersecting with ours. H. In another passage of scripture we are told that those who have gone on before us, or those who have died already, are cheering us on as witnesses to the race we are currently running. Hebrews 12 1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. I. Heaven is not constrained by time. And yet, what happens within time, or more specifically, what happens within the dimension of earth in time and space, plays out there in that heavenly dimension, in a unique way. Revelation 6 9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. 10 They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothersc should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been. J. Jesus’ favorite message, the same message He sends out His disciples to preach from city to city, before He was crucified, was this: The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! What is this message? The reality of the kingdom of heaven, the one that you were cut off from in the Garden of Eden, it’s open to you once again. It’s close. Jesus brings these separated realities back together by rending His flesh upon the cross! The cross isn’t just about dealing with sin. It’s about bringing 2 realities back into fellowship. Ephesians 1 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. K. The plan of God, fulfilled through Jesus, was to reconcile two realities, or dimensions. L. Now, the point I’m trying to make here is simple. The Bible is full of this kind of understanding. We are told plainly about demonic forces and powers interacting with ours, and we are told of the reality of heaven, reconciled and reconciling with ours! This should not come as a shock to you unless you are a brand new Christian believer. These are themes found all throughout your Bible. M. What is fascinating is how these same themes are not only found within our Judeo history, but these same themes are recorded worldwide from all the nations. II. ALIENS?? A. It may surprise you to find out that in America, 1 out of ever 2 people believes in UFO’s and that we have been visited by aliens in our past and up to our present. In Britain, more people believe in aliens than in God. This is not a joke! B. We spent some time a few weeks ago talking about transhumanism, and the scientific push for man to become immortal by 2045. I read to you reports where the biggest think tanks in the world are seriously discussing how much the human DNA will be allowed in animals before those animals require the rights of human citizens. C. This “alien” phenomenon is nothing new. The appearance of “little grays” may be new, but the storyline is ancient. The hybridization program is ancient. It goes all the way back to the “days of Noah.” Let’s define our terms here: Alien (n) - a : belonging or relating to another person, place, or thing : strange b : relating, belonging, or owing allegiance to another country or government : foreign c : exotic 2: differing in nature or character typically to the point of incompatibility D. Alien does not have to mean from another planet. The primary definition pertains to being from somewhere else than here, with a loyalty to some other ruling body or government. A lot of Chrisitians get really weird around this word. But there is no need to freak out! We are plainly told in the Bible, that there are powers and principalities that are interacting with us from another dimension. Remember this. Alien just means, not from this dimension. You know this! E. In our past, we are have specific Biblical text pointing back to a time in our history when something not from our dimension (angels that were fallen) interacted sexually and genetically with humans. Genesis 6 1 When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown. Play first video: Ancient Aliens, Season 2, Episode 2: Gods and Aliens III. ALIEN ABDUCTIONS AND THE NEW HYBRIDS A. We are asked a question: Could these myths and stories passed down to us about hybrids, half human and half alien, be rooted in truth? The answer is yes!!! We are told this is true in our scriptures. The fact that there are accounts of this from all over the world, in ancient cultures all over the world, should confirm for us that he scriptures are telling us the truth! What if we believed out Bibles? Play video 2: Genetic Engineering B. Is there some reason why aliens would want to manipulate DNA and then reintroduce these mutants back into the gene pool? Yes!!! We know there was a reason. C. It’s in the Proto Evangelium: Genesis 3 14 The Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. 15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel .” D. What the world is experiencing is nothing new. The Bible tells us there is nothing new under the sun. It may appear new. But it is, in point of fact, quite ancient. E. It’s astounding to me that these ancient astronaut theorists are asking the very questions that are detailed in our scriptures, while coming to another conclusion. We know that we are fighting beings from another dimension, Christians may use other terms like demonic, or spirit. These theorists see all the facts, and rather than believing the Word, they would rather stake all their hope and place all their faith in aliens from another planet or galaxy. Why is it easier to believe this if these are beings from another galaxy, rather than another dimension? What makes this more palatable? F. I want you to listen to a few minutes from a man who has spent more than 40 years researching the alien abduction phenomenon. He’s a retired history professor from Temple University, Dr. David Jacobs. He is not a Christian, to my knowledge. He’s not a spiritualist. He is a researcher. What he unfolds is the alien abduction phenomenon is one and the same as a hybridization program. It is about corrupting human DNA. IV. THE GREAT DECEPTION AND THE GREAT HARVEST A. Surely we are living in the end-times. No doubt, when we have more people who believe in aliens and UFO’s than believe in God, we must have an answer. B. You are an image bearer. You are made in the image of God. C. Rather than digging our heads in the sand, why don’t we have an answer for the questions this generation is asking? Don’t believe the lie that you are supposed to “stay in your lane.” Psalm 24 1 The earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein… D. We are warned about the coming Great Deception that marks the end-times. But I have good news. In the midst of this deception, there will also be a revival, unprecedented in it’s scope. Revelation 14 14 Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 And another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, “Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe.” 16 So he who sat on the cloud swung his sickle across the earth, and the earth was reaped. E. Instead of trying to avoid the topics of our day, let’s be people who have taken the time to understand what is happening in our day, and more than that, let’s be people ready to give a Biblical interpretation. If the world is talking about aliens, let’s not shrink back. This is nothing new! Let’s declare the truth. Because it’s the truth that sets people free.…

1:20:22We’ve covered a lot of ground over the last several weeks. I hope I have been able to make a case that everything we need to understand about the end, can be found in the beginning. Four times in the book of Revelation Jesus declares Himself to be the Alpha and Omega. Revelation 1 8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." Jesus wants us to see that He is present in the entire storyline of our faith. He doesn’t show up somewhere in the middle, first appearing in the New Testament. He was there in the beginning, creating all things that have been made. He was there with God, and is God! He wants for us to find Him throughout the scriptures. What is our theology? Simply Jesus. I. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FLOOD A. God blesses Noah, and reiterates the same commands given to Adam and Eve. Genesis 9 1 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth… B. And God makes covenant with Noah and his sons and also the earth itself. 13 I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. C. So far so good! We’re off to a good start. But it doesn’t take long for something sinister to enter in… 18 The sons of Noah who went forth from the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham was the father of Canaan.) 19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the people of the whole earth were dispersed. 20 Noah began to be a man of the soil, and he planted a vineyard. 21 He drank of the wine and became drunk and lay uncovered in his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside . 23 Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned backward, and they did not see their father's nakedness. 24 When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said, "Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be to his brothers ." 26 He also said, "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Shem; and let Canaan be his servant. 27 May God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem, and let Canaan be his servant." 28 After the flood Noah lived 350 years. 29 All the days of Noah were 950 years, and he died. D. We can’t be certain about all that happened here. And rather than speculate on what isn’t provided in the text, let’s look at what is. Something was not right with Ham. Whatever it was that he exactly did, it received a curse in response. But the curse didn’t land on him, it landed rather on his fourth son, Canaan. It’s impossible to determine without conjecture why Canaan receives the brunt of punishment for his father’s actions, but if we can look forward at Canaan’s line we can see that it is marked with trouble from direct rebellion against God to possibly or probably even corrupted DNA. E. The seeds of rebellion were already beginning to bud. Genesis 6 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown. II. ANCIENT GATES A. I’ve already addressed this, but remember that our Messiah comes from the line of Shem. Starting even as early as Abram/Abraham there is a call to not intermarry with the other lines of Noah, namely the line of Ham. This makes sense considering what was at stake. Our Messiah would come from the “seed of the woman.” B. Most of the Old Testament accounts of giants and wars against Israel, if not all, come from the line of Canaan. Israel is again and again finding herself in a fight against the “ites.” (Next time you read through the Old Testament make sure you consider that these “ites” are the descendants of Canaan. That curse was passed down. That curse was inheritable. C. For our purposes today, we are going to look at one of Ham’s other sons, Cush. You may be surprised at all you never knew about this man. There are just a couple of verses devoted to him in our texts, but the implications are still playing out in our day. Genesis 10 8 Cush fathered Nimrod; he was the first on earth to be a mighty man. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord." 10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 From that land he went into Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, and 12 Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city. Genesis 10- Septuigent Translation 6 And the sons of Cham, Chus, and Mesrain, Phud, and Chanaan. 7 And the sons of Chus, Saba, and Evila, and Sabatha, and Rhegma, and Sabathaca. And the sons of Rhegma, Saba, and Dadan. 8 And Chus begot Nebrod: he began to be a giant upon the earth. 9 He was a giant hunter before the Lord God; therefore they say, As Nebrod the giant hunter before the Lord. 10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon , and Orech, and Archad, and Chalanne, in the land of Senaar. D. Something was happening to him genetically. He began becoming. The words used here are specifically related to DNA corruption. He was not born a nephalim, but he was able to tap into something that altered him. He began becoming a gibbor, or gibborim, a descendant of the nephalim. Nimrod tapped into something, and that something is still active today. Strong’s Concordance: chalah begin men began, defile, break, defile, eat as common things A primitive root (compare chalah ); properly, to bore, i.e. (by implication) to wound, to dissolve; figuratively, to profane (a person, place or thing), to break (one's word), to begin (as if by an "opening wedge") Genesis 11 1 Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. 2 And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. 3 And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. 4 Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth. " 5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. 6 And the Lord said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another's speech." 8 So the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. 9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth. And from there the Lord dispersed them over the face of all the earth. E. This passage is absolutely fascinating. Like most of the Old Testament, we don’t peer very deeply into the stories passed down, thinking our ancestors naïve, or worse, not very bright. But I believe we have lost much rather than evolved over the years. F. Let’s make sure we have a good grasp of what was happening in Babylon. This was not some 4 story tower. This was not fanciful thinking. The Lord Himself declared that these people, under the leadership of Nimrod would accomplish what they were setting out to do. And what were they setting out to do? They were attempting to make a portal that would allow them to over throw God Himself, if that were possible. "Nimrod comes from the Hebrew marad (HSN-), “to rebel.” It points to some violent and open rebellion against God. Nimrod began to be a mighty one in the earth by bold and daring deeds . His rebellion is associated with the beginning of his kingdom and suggests that his hunting and mighty deeds were related primarily to hunting men by tyranny and force . He lorded it over others, hunting and destroying all who opposed him in his despotic rule over people. This is the meaning understood by Josephus and writers of the Targums. Josephus says that Nimrod persuaded people to ascribe their happiness to him rather than God . He became a great leader, taught people to centralize, and defied God to send another flood. It is said that Nimrod hunted down wild beasts also, which were killing many people, and taught people to build walls around cities for protection against them." ― Dr. Michael Lake, The Shinar Directive: Preparing the Way for the Son of Perdition's Return III. UNDERSTANDING BABYLON “It is almost impossible to wrap our minds around what Nimrod was building in Babel—the capital of Babylon. Alfred Edersheim states that the size of the city was one hundred to two hundred square miles. Arno C. Gaebelein describes twelve palaces, watering systems, a six hundred-foot-tall temple of the sun god that was surrounded by a four hundred-foot-tall wall that was so large the Babylonians could have chariot races on it. Was Nimrod attempting to recapture the splendor of the lost Watcher/Nephilim city? I believe he was. He was building the first New Atlantis that would reestablish the secrets of the Watchers embedded within a mystery religious system to turn men away from the Living God. And just in case God loosed judgment by a flood against his endeavors, he surrounded the entire one hundred-to two hundred-square-mile city (either ten miles times ten miles or twenty miles times twenty miles) with a wall large enough to hold back significant flood waters. Just in case the walls did not hold, the people could escape into the Tower of Babel that was 8,150 feet high." ― from "The Shinar Directive: Preparing the Way for the Son of Perdition's Return" A. Until very recently, I was often dumbfounded when I would look into ancient history. I always had the same question. How is it that so many cultures have the same story line? From the Egyptians, to the Persians, to the American Indians, to the Aztecs, etc. How is it that so many cultures have the same ideas. It all traces to the the Tower of Babel. Though the tower was never completed, the story of Nimrod spread. B. Nimrod’s name changed from region to region, but his feats were told and retold. Nimrod goes by another name, known to be reincarnated into the Egyptian god Osiris, and the Greek god Apollo. We know the Son of Perdition (which is how Paul refers to the antichrist) will be called Apollyon, or Apollo. C. We have these very prophesies on our National seal and the top of the Capital building. These prophecies also appear in the famous Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. You may want to spend some time studying the layout of our nation’s capital, with the Capital Dome and Washington monument and the St. Peter’s square, with its prominent dome and Egyptian phallic symbol. This can certainly be no accident! But what could it all point to? D. The Cumae’s Sibyl’s (The Cumaean Sibyl was the priestess presiding over the Apollonian oracle at Cumae, a Greek colony located near Naples, Italy) most famous prophesy says this: "Now the last age by Cumae’s Sibyl sung Has come and gone, and the majestic roll Of circling centuries begins anew: Justice returns, returns old Saturn’s reign, With a new breed of men sent down from heaven. Only do thou, at the boy’s birth in whom The iron shall cease, the golden race arise, Befriend him, chaste Lucina; ‘tis thine own Apollo reigns. … "He shall receive the life of gods, and see Heroes with gods commingling, and himself Be seen of them, and with his father’s worth Reign o’er a world… "Assume thy greatness, for the time draws nigh, Dear child of gods, great progeny of Jove [Jupiter/Zeus]! See how it totters—the world’s orbed might, Earth, and wide ocean, and the vault profound, All, see, enraptured of the coming time!" “According to Virgil and the Cumaean Sibyl whose prophecy formed the Novus Ordo Seclorum of the Great Seal of the United States, the New World Order begins during a time of chaos when the earth and oceans are tottering, a time like today. This is when the "son" of promise arrives on earth—Apollo incarnate—a pagan savior born of "a new breed of men sent down from heaven" when "heroes" and "gods" are blended together. This sounds eerily similar to what the Watchers did during the creation of Nephilim and to what scientists are doing this century through genetic engineering of human-animal chimeras.” (Tom Horn) E. Why in the world am I pointing this out to you on a Sunday morning? Because this wasn’t just about a tall tower. God isn’t mad about 4 story buildings. This was and is about breaking into another dimension. This Tower was not about building a 4-story building, it was about breaking into the reality of heaven without going through the door. Isn’t it amazing that men would do almost anything rather than just go through the door, which is Christ! He has made a way, but many would rather become immortal without deferring and bowing to Jesus. IV. CURRENT EVENTS THAT YOU PROBABLY DON’T KNOW ABOUT A. Let’s look at the EU, or European Union poster and building. Isn’t it amazing that the European Union purposely built and promoted themselves as the rebuilding of something that God came and judged? What in the world is that?? The Tower of Babel by Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1563) EU Promo Poster The EU Parliament, also built to look like the Tower of Babel B. There’s more. Remember this is about opening ancient gates. It was never about building a high tower. It was and is about rebellion against God. CERN- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUVAW3KfzNE Watch 1:08- 7:24 C. Did you catch that CERN is built right over the gates of Apollo? V. WE ARE CALLING FOR ANCIENT GATES TO BE OPENED A. Since the days of Noah, there has not been a repeat of genetic manipulation or the technology to open up ancient portals like we are seeing now. Since 1948 Israel, THE prophetic key for understanding Matthew 24, has been reestablished, and all serious Bible prophecy experts should have been sounding an alarm. This is not a drill. It’s time to wake up. Shake yourself free from everything that is entangling you. Deal with what you need to deal with. Stop messing around with sin. Stop hitting the snooze button. You need to make time with the Lord. You need to learn how to discern His voice. You need to get time in the Word acquainting yourself with the storyline of God. B. We don’t need to be afraid of CERN. WE do need to know the times we are living in. We need to learn how to pray. CERN may be opening the door, but as the Church we also have the ability to speak to the ancient gates. Psalm 24 1 The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein, 2 for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers. 3 Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place? 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully. 5 He will receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6 Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob. Selah 7 Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. 8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle! 9 Lift up your heads, O gates! And lift them up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. 10 Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory! C. Amen, and amen!…

1:13:18I. JUST AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH… Matthew 24 36"But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. 37For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. 41Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. 42Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. A. We’ve covered this in brief during our Matthew 24 overview. Jesus is detailing the tribulation and persecution and many of the deceptions that will be coming on the earth in the last days. He then points us to a very particular time in history: The days of Noah. B. The days of Noah were remarkable. We know that whatever was happening in the earth in those days was significant enough to warrant a flood. God was literally cleansing the earth! This is no children’s story. This is a mass genocide of the highest order. Just because we’ve turned it into felt cut-outs for Sunday school, and made paper maché boats, doesn’t make this story suitable for nursery rhymes. This was violent! Genesis 6 1 When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown. 5 The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. 7 So the Lord said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. C. Why did the Lord send the flood? Because He’s good! Because He’s good! D. When we started this series I talked a lot about DNA. This battle between heaven and hell has been, and will be, fought out through genetics. Genesis 3 15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel." E. This is all about the SEED. The seed of God verses the seed of the snake, that nachash. The plan of God would come through the woman! Do you see this! At the very beginning, in what we would call the “Fall of Man,” is the first preaching of the Gospel, if you will. In Christian theology, the Protevangelium is God's statement to the Serpent in the Garden of Eden about how the Seed of the woman would crush the serpent's head: "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." (Genesis 3:15, KJV) F. So, Noah was found “perfect” in his generation. This speaks to the purity of bloodline issue. Ever wonder why there seem to be endless genealogies in the Bible? This answers that question once and for all. The devil would seek to destroy the plan of salvation by corrupting the “Seed of the woman.” More on this in future weeks! II. SO WILL BE THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN A. Jesus refers to Himself by one title more than any other, and considering who He is as King of all kings, Lord of all lords, Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the Captain of the Hosts, the I AM, the Son of God… and yet his preferred title as the “Son of Man” is humble to be sure. It appears 81 times throughout the Gospels. But is it something else? Is it a prophetic key? Is it a holy boundary? More on this in later weeks! B. The “days of Noah” were about a corruption of DNA. The flood was God’s loving response toward saving man. There was something else… some “enhancement”… something that had been added to man that God would not redeem. Jesus was THE plan to save humanity. He was the plan from before the foundation of the world. Is it possible that there is some future enhancement, some future alteration that would altar us so utterly that we would no longer be considered fully human? C. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He sent the flood as a mercy, the wiping out of entire populations that we see all through the Old Testament by the command of God was a mercy, and I believe the coming judgment recorded for us in the New Testament is also mercy. There is something unfolding in our day that has been impossible since the days of the flood. It’s the same story line we see in Genesis 6, but this time the world will not be washed clean with water, it will be purified with fire. (2 Peter 3:11) III. WATER THEN FIRE Matthew 3 11 “I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.” A. We often think of John as the “baptizer.” And he was! But John came to baptize with water. Jesus comes with another baptism: the Holy Spirit and fire. We need to know this Man. We need to regard His baptism. 2 Peter 3 1 This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, 2 that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles, 3 knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. 4 They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” 5 For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, 6 and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. 7 But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly . 8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed. IV. THE MARK OF THE BEAST A. Many people talk about the New Testament God as being somehow different from our Old Testament texts. I disagree. Our God, even Jesus, is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8)! He has not changed. The cross didn’t change or nullify anything in Jesus, the cross changes us! B. What was unredeemable in the OT, is also unredeemable in the New Testament. We know a couple of things about whatever this New Testament marker will be like from the texts in the Book of the Revelation. Revelation 13 16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. C. This mark, otherwise known as the “mark of the beast,” is completely and utterly linked to commerce. If we do not take the mark, we will not be able to buy or sell. That means no provision to feed your families. This is extreme. So if you take this mark, you will be able to buy and sell. BUT…. Revelation 14 9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.” 12 Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus. D. If you take this mark, you may be able to buy and sell…but you won’t be able to be redeemed. There is a story that caught my eye last year when I was teaching Bible to Judah and Juniah. It’s another early story in Genesis that I think deals more with end-times than maybe we have understood. Genesis 25 29 Once when Jacob was cooking stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted. 30 And Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am exhausted!” (Therefore his name was called Edom.e) 31 Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright now.” 32 Esau said, “I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?” 33 Jacob said, “Swear to me now.” So he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright. E. Esau is utterly consumed with the moment. He had no regard for anything future. This disregard is the equal to a “despising” of his birthright! He despised it by not regarding it. Hebrews 12 15 See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; 16 that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. 17 For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears. F. This story is an end-time story. We don’t want to despise our birthright for a bowl of soup! We don’t want to lose sight of the age to come… our inheritance in Christ! All our tears will amount to nothing if we disregard Jesus. Through Him we have been given the “right to become sons.” John 1 11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. V. WHERE ARE WE IN THIS PROPHETIC COUNTDOWN? A. We are told that the day of Jesus’s return to the earth will be like the “days of Noah.” Last week we talked in depth about what Genesis 6, along with 3 other historical, extra-biblical, parallel texts said about this same time period. We talked at length about the Nephalim, and the hybridization of human DNA, namely the female egg crossed with the seed of fallen angels. B. We talked in depth about the corruption of “all flesh,” from human DNA corruption, to animal hybrids, and even GMOs in agriculture. “All flesh” was corrupt. In God’s mercy He sent the flood. C. For the first time since the flood, we are crossing over the precipice once again. With the emergence of Transhumanism, Human+, Human 2.0, Supersoldiers, Chimera’s (human/animal hybrids), GMO’s, we are on the fast track to a place we’ve been before. Are we sure we want to cross this line? Many ACHM models, such as transgenic rodents each containing one (or a few) human genes, and animals with human tissue grafts, have a long history of research use without major ethical or regulatory difficulties. However, technologies are advancing rapidly; more extensive sections of DNA can be manipulated, and methods using human stem cells to replace parts of tissue, or even whole organs, are becoming increasingly refined. By enabling progressively more extensive, and precise, substitution of human material in animals, these approaches may soon enable us to modify animals to an extent that might challenge social, ethical, or regulatory boundaries. Based on the evidence we received, the published literature, our public dialogue, and our own discussions, we identified areas which might merit special consideration, including: · Extensive modification of the brain ofan animal, by implantation of human- derived cells, which might result in altered cognitive capacity approaching human ‘consciousness’ or ‘sentience’ or ‘human- like’ behavioural capabilities. · Situations where functional human gametes (eggs, sperm) might develop from precursor cell-types in an animal; and where fertilisation between either human (or human-derived) gametes and animal gametes might then occur. · Cellular or genetic modifications which could result in animals with aspects of human-like appearance (skin type, limb or facial structure) or characteristics, such as speech.

1:15:52Well… we’re at a pivotal crossroads. Once we cross over there will be no going back. I’ve delayed this teaching for several years, but now feel compelled to press forward. I’ve been a diligent student of the Word for the last 19 years. I’ve studied end-times as a good Berean for the last 9. It is my hope that your hearts would burn for Jesus. Surely He will come again, quite possibly…maybe even quite probably in our lifetime. I have counted the cost of what I am about to preach. Like teaching anything from the scriptures, it will be controversial. I am unashamedly a Bible literalist. I believe the scriptures are the inerrant Word of God. It is with fear and trembling that I preach every week. My hope for this teaching (as with all others) is that your heart would burn for Jesus; that you would glory in His incredible wisdom and leadership. That through the declaring of truth I would destroy every hidden accusation that still may remain hidden in your heart towards the Lord. That seeing the manifold wisdom of God, you would eagerly and quickly throw off every sin and every weight of distraction that could so easily entangle you. And finally, that you would be prepared in whatever comes, rooted in the unshakeable love of Jesus. From this place of ultimate security, that you would count the cost, pick up your cross today and follow Jesus… to the end. So without further adieu… let’s dive in! I. MATTHEW 24 – IN THE END JESUS POINTS US TO THE BEGINNING Matthew 24 36"But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. 37For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. 41Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. 42Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.

These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown. 5 The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. 7 So the Lord said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. 9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God. 10 And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 11 Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. 13 And God said to Noah, “I have determined to make an end of all flesh for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14 Make yourself an ark of gopher wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch. 15 This is how you are to make it: the length of the ark 300 cubits, its breadth 50 cubits, and its height 30 cubits. 16 Make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above, and set the door of the ark in its side. Make it with lower, second, and third decks. 17 For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die. 18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you. 19 And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ark to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female. 20 Of the birds according to their kinds, and of the animals according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground, according to its kind, two of every sort shall come in to you to keep them alive. 21 Also take with you every sort of food that is eaten, and store it up. It shall serve as food for you and for them." 22 Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him. C. Here are some questions that may have come up while we were reading over this text: · Who are the sons of God who are taking woman to be their wives? · Why does God change man’s lifespan in response to this? · Who/what are the Nephalim? · What does it mean that they are the offspring of this union (sons of God x daughters of man)? · How are they around after the flood? · What does it mean to have only evil thoughts continually? · How was Noah blameless? · Who whole earth was corrupt? All flesh was corrupt? D. We’re going to look at some other historical texts to see if there is more understanding, but before you do I want to talk about the canon of scripture. E. The word "canon" comes from the Greek κανών, meaning " rule " or " measuring stick .” F. It may come as a surprise to you that Jewish texts weren’t canonized until up to 200 A.D. and our Christian texts we’re canonized until the mid 1500’s though the 1670’s. Why does this matter? Because there are texts that were considered holy and were even common knowledge hundreds of years ago that we have never read. Now I believe that God brooded over these councils where such matters were regarded and disputed. I also believe that there is much we can glean from looking into historical texts. G. I’m going to put several of these texts before you today. By do so, I am not placing them as the same weight as the canonized scripture that we have today, but I place it before you as I would any historical document. Can it verify the scripture? Can it give us insight into what was happening? H. For me, the answer is yes. I submit this for you to consider and weigh. II. THE BOOK OF ENOCH A. The Book of Enoch is an ancient Jewish religious work, ascribed by tradition to Enoch , the great-grandfather of Noah , although modern scholars estimate the older sections (mainly in the Book of the Watchers) to date from about 300 BC, and the latest part (Book of Parables) probably to the first century BC.[2] B. It is not part of the biblical canon as used by Jews , apart from Beta Israel . Most Christian denominations and traditions may accept the Books of Enoch as having some historical or theological interest, but they generally regard the Books of Enoch as non-canonical or non-inspired.[3] It is regarded as canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church , but not by any other Christian groups. C. The Book of Enoch was considered as scripture in the Epistle of Barnabas (16:4)[24] and by many of the early Church Fathers , such as Athenagoras ,[25] Clement of Alexandria ,[26] Irenaeus [27] and Tertullian ,[28] who wrote c. 200 that the Book of Enoch had been rejected by the Jews because it contained prophecies pertaining to Christ .[29] However, later Fathers denied the canonicity of the book, and some even considered the Epistle of Jude uncanonical because it refers to an " apocryphal " work. (Wikipedia) ENOCH 6.1 And it came to pass, when the sons of men had increased, that in those days there were born to them fair and beautiful daughters. 6.2 And the Angels, the sons of Heaven, saw them and desired them. And they said to one another: "Come, let us choose for ourselves wives, from the children of men, and let us beget, for ourselves, children." 6.3 And Semyaza, who was their leader, said to them: "I fear that you may not wish this deed to be done and that I alone will pay for this great sin." 6.4 And they all answered him, and said: "Let us all swear an oath, and bind one-another with curses, so not to alter this plan, but to carry out this plan effectively." 6.5 Then they all swore together and all bound one another with curses to it. 6.6 And they were, in all, two hundred and they came down on Ardis, which is the summit of Mount Hermon. And they called the mountain Hermon because on it they swore and bound one another with curses.6.7 And these are the names of their leaders:Semyaza, who was their leader, Urakiba, Ramiel, Kokabiel, Tamiel, Ramiel, Daniel, Ezeqiel, Baraqiel, Asael, Armaros, Ananel, Zaqiel, Samsiel, Satael, Turiel, Yomiel, Araziel. 6.8 These are the leaders of the two hundred Angels and of all the others with them. 7.1 And they took wives for themselves and everyone chose for himself one each. And they began to go into them and were promiscuous with them. And they taught them charms and spells, and they showed them the cutting of roots and trees. 7.2 And they became pregnant and bore large giants. And their height was three thousand cubits. 7.3 These devoured all the toil of men; until men were unable to sustain them. 7.4 And the giants turned against them in order to devour men. 7.5 And they began to sin against birds, and against animals, and against reptiles, and against fish, and they devoured one another's flesh, and drank the blood from it. 7.6 Then the Earth complained about the lawless ones. 8.1 And Azazel taught men to make swords, and daggers, and shields, and breastplates. And he showed them the things after these, and the art of making them; bracelets, and ornaments, and the art of making up the eyes, and of beautifying the eyelids, and the most precious stones, and all kinds of coloured dyes. And the world was changed. 8.2 And there was great impiety, and much fornication, and they went astray, and all their ways became corrupt. 8.3 Amezarak taught all those who cast spells and cut roots, Armaros the release of spells, and Baraqiel astrologers, and Kokabiel portents, and Tamiel taught astrology, and Asradel taught the path of the Moon. 8.4 And at the destruction of men they cried out; and their voices reached Heaven. 9.1 And then Michael, Gabriel, Suriel and Uriel, looked down from Heaven and saw the mass of blood that was being shed on the earth and all the iniquity that was being done on the earth. 9.2 And they said to one another: "Let the devastated Earth cry out with the sound of their cries, up to the Gate of Heaven. 9.3 And now to you, Oh Holy Ones of Heaven, the souls of men complain, saying: "Bring our complaint before the Most High." 9.4 And they said to their Lord, the King: "Lord of Lords, God of Gods, King of Kings! Your glorious throne endures for all the generations of the world, and blessed and praised! 9.5 You have made everything, and power over everything is yours. And everything is uncovered, and open, in front of you, and you see everything, and there is nothing that can be hidden from you. 9.6 See then what Azazel has done; how he has taught all iniquity on the earth and revealed the eternal secrets that are made in Heaven. 9.7 And Semyaza has made known spells, he to whom you gave authority to rule over those who are with him. 9.8 And they went into the daughters of men together, lay with those women, became unclean, and revealed to them these sins. 9.9 And the women bore giants, and thereby the whole Earth has been filled with blood and iniquity. 9.10 And now behold the souls which have died cry out and complain unto the Gate of Heaven, and their lament has ascended, and they cannot go out in the face of the iniquity which is being committed on the earth. 9.11 And you know everything, before it happens, and you know this, and what concerns each of them. But you say nothing to us. What ought we to do with them, about this?" 10.1 And then the Most High, the Great and Holy One, spoke and sent Arsyalalyur to the son of Lamech, and said to him: 10.2 "Say to him in my name; hide yourself! And reveal to him the end, which is coming, because the whole earth will be destroyed. A deluge is about to come on all the earth; and all that is in it will be destroyed. 10.3 And now teach him so that he may escape and his offspring may survive for the whole Earth."10.4 And further the Lord said to Raphael: "Bind Azazel by his hands and his feet and throw him into the darkness. And split open the desert, which is in Dudael, and throw him there. 10.5 And throw on him jagged and sharp stones and cover him with darkness. And let him stay there forever. And cover his face so that he may not see the light. 10.6 And so that, on the Great Day of Judgment, he may be hurled into the fire. 10.7 And restore the Earth which the Angels have ruined. And announce the restoration of the Earth. For I shall restore the Earth so that not all the sons of men shall be destroyed because of the knowledge which the Watchers made known and taught to their sons. 10.8 And the whole Earth has been ruined by the teaching of the works of Azazel; and against him write: ALL SIN." 10.9 And the Lord said to Gabriel: “Proceed against the bastards, and the reprobates, and against the sons of the fornicators. And destroy the sons of the fornicators, and the sons of the Watchers, from amongst men. And send them out, and send them against one another, and let them destroy themselves in battle; for they will not have length of days. 10.10 And they will petition you, but the petitioners will gain nothing in respect of them, for they hope for eternal life, and that each of them will live life for five hundred years." 10.11 And the Lord said to Michael: "Go, inform Semyaza, and the others with him, who have associated with the women to corrupt themselves with them in all their uncleanness. 10.12 When all their sons kill each other, and when they see the destruction of their loved ones, bind them for seventy generations, under the hills of the earth, until the day of their judgment and of their consummation, until the judgment, which is for all eternity, is accomplished. 10.13 And in those days, they will lead them to the Abyss of Fire; in torment, and in prison they will be shut up for all eternity. 10.14 And then Semyaza will be burnt, and from then on destroyed with them; together they will be bound until the end of all generations. 10.15 And destroy all the souls of lust, and the sons of the Watchers, for they have wronged men. 10.16 Destroy all wrong from the face of the Earth and every evil work will cease. 10.17 And now all the righteous will be humble, and will live until they beget thousands. And all the days of their youth, and their sabbaths, they will fulfill in peace. III. THE BOOK OF JASHUR A. The book of Jashur is referenced in Joshua 10:13; 2 Samuel 1:18; and 2 Timothy 3:8. Jashur 4 16 And all the sons of men departed from the ways of the Lord in those days as they multiplied upon the face of the earth with sons and daughters, and they taught one another their evil practices and they continued sinning against the Lord. 17 And every man made unto himself a god, and they robbed and plundered every man his neighbor as well as his relative, and they corrupted the earth, and the earth was filled with violence. 18 And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals. 19 And the Lord said, I will blot out man that I created from the face of the earth, yea from man to the birds of the air, together with cattle and beasts that are in the field for I repent that I made them. IV. THE BOOK OF JUBILEES Jubilees 5 1 And it came to pass when the children of men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born unto them, that the angels of God saw them on a certain year of this jubilee, that they were beautiful to look upon; and they took themselves wives of all whom they chose, and they bare unto them sons and they were giants. 2 And lawlessness increased on the earth and all flesh corrupted its way, alike men and cattle and beasts and birds and everything that walks on the earth -all of them corrupted their ways and their orders, and they began to devour each other, and lawlessness increased on the earth and every imagination of the thoughts of all men (was) thus evil continually. 3 And God looked upon the earth, and behold it was corrupt, and all flesh had corrupted its orders, and all that were upon the earth had wrought all manner of evil before His eyes. 4 And He said that He would destroy man and all flesh upon the face of the earth which He had created. 5 But Noah found grace before the eyes of the Lord. 6 And against the angels whom He had sent upon the earth, He was exceedingly wroth, and He gave commandment to root them out of all their dominion, and He bade us to bind them in the depths of the earth, and behold they are bound in the midst of them, and are (kept) separate. 7 And against their sons went forth a command from before His face that they should be smitten with the sword, and be removed from under heaven. 8 And He said 'My spirit shall not always abide on man; for they also are flesh and their days shall be one hundred and twenty years'. 9 And He sent His sword into their midst that each should slay his neighbour, and they began to slay each other till they all fell by the sword and were destroyed from the earth. And their fathers were witnesses (of their destruction), and after this they were bound in the depths of the earth for ever, until the day of the great condemnation, when judgment is executed on all those who have corrupted their ways and their works before the Lord. Why did the Lord send the flood? Because He’s good! Because He’s good! A. When we started this series I talked a lot about DNA. This battle between heaven and hell has been and will be fought out through genetics. Genesis 3 15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel." B. This is all about the SEED. The seed of God verses the seed of the snake, that nachash. The plan of God would come through the woman! Do you see this! At the very beginning, in what we would call the “Fall of Man,” is the first preaching of the Gospel, if you will. In Christian theology, the Protevangelium is God's statement to the Serpent in the Garden of Eden about how the Seed of the woman would crush the serpent's head: "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." (Genesis 3:15, KJV) C. Paul remembers it, and says it this way as he considered Jesus: God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. (Romans 16:20) D. In this proclamation of the Gospel, which was declared at the very fall of man, God’s plan was revealed. He would crush His adversary through the Seed of the woman. Isn’t it amazing that the devil immediately sets in motion a plan to corrupt the seed of the woman? He immediately attacks, via corruption of DNA, the Seed. Do you see it? 1 John 3 8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother. 1 Peter 1 22 Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart, 23 since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God. E. So, Noah was found “perfect” in his generation. This speaks to the purity of bloodline issue. Ever wonder why there seem to be endless genealogies in the Bible? This answers that question once and for all. The devil would seek to destroy the plan of salvation by corrupting the “Seed of the woman.” More on this in future weeks! V. SO WILL BE THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN A. Jesus refers to Himself by one title more than any other, and considering who He is as King of all kings, Lord of all lords, Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the Captain of the Hosts, the I AM, the Son of God… and yet his preferred title as the “Son of Man” is humble to be sure. It appears 81 times throughout the Gospels. But is it something else? Is it a prophetic key? Is it a holy boundary? More on this in later weeks! CORRUPT, adjective [Latin] – Webster’s 1828 Dictionary 1. Changed from a sound to a putrid state, as by natural decomposition. 2. Spoiled; tainted; vitiated; unsound; as corrupt air, or bread. 3. Depraved; vitiated; tainted with wickedness. They are corrupt; they have done abominable works. Psalms 14:1. The earth was corrupt before God. Genesis 6:11. 4. Debased; rendered impure; changed to a worse state; as corrupt language. 5. Not genuine; infected with errors or mistakes. The text is corrupt B. The “days of Noah” were about a corruption of DNA. The flood was God’s loving response toward saving man. There was something else… some “enhancement”… something that had been added to man that God would not redeem. Jesus was THE plan to save humanity. He was the plan from before the foundation of the world. Is it possible that there is some future enhancement, some future alteration that would altar us so utterly that we would no longer be considered fully human? C. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He sent the flood as a mercy, the wiping out of entire populations that we see all through the Old Testament by the command of God was a mercy, and I believe the coming judgment recorded for us in the New Testament is also mercy. There is something unfolding in our day that has been impossible since the days of the flood. It’s the same story line we see in Genesis 6, but this time the world will not be washed clean with water, it will be purified with fire. (2 Peter 3:11) Revelation 14 9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.” 12 Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus. D. Jesus points us back to a very particular and dangerous time in human history. Noah was building an ark. God had given him the blueprints to ensure his safety and salvation. The barge didn’t magically appear! He believed God and he worked. Day after day he built. The scriptures tell us this building project took about 100 years. It was low and slow. It was tedious, back-breaking labor. Sometimes the Good News is like that! Keep building!!…

57:25Last week we covered a lot! Genesis 1-3, from creation through the fall of man. C.S. Lewis said this Fall could be understood as a “falling into oneself.” And I get that! Don’t you? It’s hopeless, that kind of fall. But I also want to remind you of what I am coming to call, the conspiratorial view of our history. Eve didn’t stumble. Adam didn’t just get lost. They were deceived. They were tricked. They were lied to. They were pushed. Our God has an enemy. And because our Father loves us, His enemy has become our enemy. It’s because we are the apple of God’s eye, that the devil despises us so. He wants to corrupt all Good things. He wants to thwart all wisdom. He wants to kill all love. The enemy of God has made himself truly an enemy. There is nothing neutral about it. I. CONSPIRATORIAL HISTORY 8And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, "Where are you?" 10And he said, "I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself." 11He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?" 12The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate." 13Then the Lord God said to the woman, "What is this that you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." A. The separation, the distrust, was immediate. I think this is the real death. This way of thinking, this way of NOT seeing the Father accurately is the true death. The accusation of Adam towards the Lord follows his sudden blindness. In essence, Adam is saying, “You are responsible for this separation. You did this!” John 17 3And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. …14The Lord God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. 15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel." B. This is all about genetics! This is all about the Seed of the Nachash/Satan verses the Seed of the Woman. In human genetics , the Mitochondrial Eve is the matrilineal most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of all currently living humans . This is the most recent woman from whom all living humans today descend, in an unbroken line, on their mother’s side, and through the mothers of those mothers, and so on, back until all lines converge on one woman. (Wikipedia) 1 Peter 1 20 God chose him as your ransom long before the world began, but he has now revealed him to you in these last days. (NLT) C. We were part of, and are part of a coup d'é·tat of the Celestial Order. To the devil we are nothing more than pawns. Expendable. His intention was to take out the King. D. We were in a sense, kidnapped from the Garden. We put aside the loving instructions of our Father and were swept up by an enemy we could never have fathomed. Suddenly we were separated. Suddenly we were lost. Suddenly we were cut off. 16To the woman he said, "I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you." 17And to Adam he said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life; 18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field. 19 By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return." E. After all of that just transpired, you would think there would be some massive event. And instead there is this… II. AND THE ONE BECAME TWO Genesis 3 20The man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living. A. It’s almost so everyday nothing, that we miss it. But there’s a whole lot in these two sentences. This is the first time that woman has been given a name. I want to submit to you that this was the judgment. All Eden had ever known was Oneness. Oneness with God, Oneness with one another, Oneness with all that was created. There was a harmony in everything created. B. The Fall was immediate. There was distance immediately. There was discord immediately. Eve is named accurately, but also separately. This is the beginning of The Fall. III. GOD MADE THE FIRST CUT Genesis 3 21And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them. A. Can you imagine how traumatic this would have been? It would have been utterly grotesque I think to witness this death. The message would have been clear: · Only God can cover us. · Blood is required in order to cover us. B. This would not have been something easily forgotten. It was the last encounter with God before everything changed. IV. IN MERCY WE WERE DRIVEN OUT 22Then the Lord God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—" 23therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken. 24He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life. A. The punishment has already happened. This was mercy! V. CAIN AND ABEL Genesis 4 1Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, "I have gotten a man with the help of the Lord." 2And again, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a worker of the ground. 3In the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground, 4and Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, 5but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell. 6The Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? 7If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it." A. This is not some arbitrary regarding. God doesn’t just like Abel better. There is something happening here. Abel is regarding the stories passed down. He sacrifices an animal. He sheds blood, recognizing that last act in Eden. He’s regarding the Lord! B. Cain wants to bring a sacrifice, but he doesn’t want to obey. He wants to worship HIS way. He wants to honor God HIS way. C. This is the same issue we have today. The real issue is about whether we are worshiping (which is always about surrender and obedience), or whether we are sacrificing. Sacrifice is costly too. The issue is that it stems from pride. 2 Timothy 2 3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. D. God wasn’t regarding Abel from a whimsical place. He was regarding Abel’s regarding! He asks Cain a question that is still reverberating down through the ages... “If you do well, will you not be accepted?” The point is that Cain didn’t want to do well. He wanted God to bless his disobedience. He wanted to do what he wanted to do. This is a heart issue, and it would continue to play out over Cain’s life. 8Cain spoke to Abel his brother. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him. Matthew 10 21 Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, 22 and you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. E. This is not a history lesson only! This is an end-time story. Who betrayed Jesus? One of his own disciples? Who betrayed Abel? His own brother. When Jesus talks about the end-times, which He does often through all of the Gospels, He tells us that this period will be marked by betrayal. Matthew 24 9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. F. Why does Cain kill his brother? It was jealousy. It was about conviction. He hates that Abel regards the Lord, and that the Lord regards the offering of Abel. He can’t stand what Abel represents. 9Then the Lord said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?" G. No remorse. No respect. Disdain and more disdain. You see this act of murder wasn’t really about Abel at all. It was about a hatred towards God. It was an act of rebellion against God! 10And the Lord said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground. 11And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. H. Who is cursing Cain here? The very ground is cursing him! 12When you work the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth." 13Cain said to the Lord, "My punishment is greater than I can bear. 14Behold, you have driven me today away from the ground, and from your face I shall be hidden. I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me." 15Then the Lord said to him, "Not so! If anyone kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold." And the Lord put a mark on Cain, lest any who found him should attack him. I. I don’t know if you see it this way, but it’s the Lord who is reaching out to protect Cain. Don’t you get the sense of the Lord’s sorrow for Cain? Don’t you see His love even here in the midst of Cain’s rebellion? 16Then Cain went away from the presence of the Lord and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden. 17Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. When he built a city, he called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch. J. It’s these last verses that just absolutely floor me. Cain has been told to wander. He’s been told by the Lord not to settle down. But what does he do? Immediately he settles down! More than that, he begins to actually BUILD a city! I mean to the very end, he is going to disregard the instruction of the Lord. He is building a community around his rebellion. VI. THE LINE OF SETH Genesis 4 25And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name Seth, for she said, "God has appointed for me another offspring instead of Abel, for Cain killed him." 26To Seth also a son was born, and he called his name Enosh. At that time people began to call upon the name of the Lord. A. Jesus was the plan from the very beginning! The Lord’s plan was Jesus through “the seed of the woman.” The devil tries to thwart his appearing by killing Abel. Within the very first offspring we see the Devil’s holocaust against the line of Messiah. B. The line of Seth is now chosen for the lineage of Jesus. Remember, this is all about the plan of God and the Seed of the Woman. It has always been, and will be, about DNA.…

1:03:43To understand end-times we have to understand our beginning. He is, after all, the Alpha and the Omega. He fills all things with Himself. He holds all things together, and sustains all things. He is the beginning and the end. Even from before the foundation of the world, He declares, “I AM.” I. BETWEEN 1.1 AND 1.2 … GAP THEORY Genesis 1 1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. (ESV) A. So far, so good! Genesis 1 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. (ESV) B. Wait! Where does this void come from? Where does this formlessness come from? Isaiah 55 11 So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. (KJB 2000) C. The "Gap Theory", suggests the angels were created "in the beginning" (Genesis 1:1), rather than during or after the creation week, and that Satan and his angelic (demonic) followers fell prior to Genesis 1:2. Chalmers grounds this theory in the reinterpretation of words used in Genesis 1:2, and their relationship with other passages of scripture. And the earth was without form, and void; Vav..Erets......hayah..tohu..............bohu; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. ....choshek...........................tehown D. The word for "was" - hayah - is the same word used in Genesis 19:26 where Lot's wife was ( hayah ) turned into a pillar of salt. The implication is that the word hayah is not simply descriptive, but is active. Furthermore, the word " vav " for "and" can also be read as "but" depending on the context. In the Septuagint it has actually been translated this way. Thus Genesis 1:2 could, or should, read; "But the earth became (or "had become") without form, and void". E. “Without form, and void" has been translated from the Hebrew phrase " tohu vav bohu ". The words tohu and bohu are also found in Isaiah 34:11, but is there interpreted differently; Isaiah 34: 11 "But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion (tohu) and the stones of emptiness (bohu)." F. Thus “ tohu ” can also mean "confused", and “ bohu ” can mean “empty”. "Confused" and "without form" share in common a lack of order, in a place where there should be order. Perhaps, then, the text could be read as follows; " But the earth was in disarray, and empty ". G. Jeremiah 4:23-26 also uses the phrase " tohu vav bohu ", as follows: “I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form (tohu), and void (bohu); and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger.” H. You will notice that this verse describes the Earth as it would have been at the time of Genesis 1:2; 1. The Earth is described as "formless and void" (or "in disarray and empty") 2. There was no man 3. There were no birds I. What is interesting, though, is that it refers to cities, and what's more it seems these cities had received judgment from The Lord - "all the cities thereof were broken down (in disarray) at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger". Perhaps these cities represented the homes of the angels who had fallen. J. The word " choshek " has been interpreted as "darkness", and when we read it we assume this is a natural darkness (i.e. before the creation of natural light), but the word " choshek " is also used in Exodus 10:21 to describe the darkness The Lord brought upon Egypt, which was so dark it could be felt. The word " tehown " has been translated as "the deep", but is in fact the same word (Greek abussos – abyss) used to refer to the home of demons and evil spirits, the place from which the anti-Christ emerges. K. Thus, again, Genesis 1:2 could be read: "But the earth was in disarray, and empty; and spiritual darkness was upon the face of the demonic realm." (Plaintruth.com) L. Which brings us to Genesis 1:3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. M. Prehistory and chaos… Something happened before something happened. When we study ancient history, there is much that doesn’t fit with the evolutionary theory that we have been force-fed, rather the Bible narrative is proven! II. IN THE BEGINNING A. Let’s keep going! In the beginning, when we read in the Hebrew text, we see that when God created man He also declares a new name. No longer just known as Elohim “the strong God,” but as YHWH Elohim. B. The significance of the name Yahweh is that it is confirming God’s existence but most importantly His presence. Even in Genesis 1 and 2 we see that Lord God, YHWH Elohim, The strong God -I AM -with you is intervening. C. John the beloved, was absolutely taken with this! He sees Jesus in Genesis 1. John, who was discipled by the Living Torah (Jesus), sees His friend in the story of creation! How amazing is this?! John 1 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 1 John 1 1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— 2 the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us— 3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. Revelation 1 8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." A. John was seeing Jesus in Genesis 1. To understand this we need to understand the beginning from a Hebraic perspective. In his book, The Shinar Directive, Dr. Michael Lake says this: Enoch walked with God. What was between Enoch and Elohim that enabled the walk? The answer is Aleph-Tav! The placement of the Aleph-Tav reveals the truth that it is impossible to walk with God without the enabling work of Messiah. The Shinar Directive, by Dr. Michael Lake, Chapter 2 B. At the creation of man something changes in the text. God reveals a new name! We’ve seen that this Aleph-Tav was right there, right next to Elohim, but now he creates man and He releases a new revelation about who He is. He declares Himself to be Elohim YHWH. C. Mark D. Futato, Robert L. Maclellan Professor of Old Testament and Academic Dean at Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando says this: “In Genesis 1 only Elohim is used to refer to deity. This is no doubt because of the universal perspective of this creation story. In Genesis 2, on the other hand, deity is referred to as YHWH Elohim. These two accounts converge to affirm that YHWH (the God of Israel) and not any other ancient Near Eastern deity is Elohim (the universal God). So then, YHWH Elohim does not mean "Lord of Gods...the one of many," but means that YHWH, the personal God who rules over Israel, is at one and the same time the universal God who rules over all.” ( Mark D. Futato, Robert L. Maclellan Professor of Old Testament and Academic Dean at Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando. Dr. Futato received his Ph.D. and M.A. in Semitic Languages from the Catholic University of America. He specializes in Hebrew language and is author of the book Beginning Biblical Hebrew (Eisenbrauns, 2003). D. If we break down the meaning of the word YHWH letter by letter, we discover something incredible… E. These letters are pronounced, in Hebrew, "Yod Hey Vav Hey," when you read them in the Hebrew manner from right to left. F. The four letters in God's name in Hebrew have the following meanings: Hey = Behold Vav = Nail Yod = Closed Hand G. When read in English from left to right, it says: "BEHOLD THE NAIL, BEHOLD THE HAND!" Or, "Behold the nailed hand." John 1 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. H. Hallelujah! Jesus was there revealing Himself to man in the beginning. He was there!! III. TWO TREES Genesis 2 4 These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. 7 then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. 8 And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, "You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." A. I want to point something out here that maybe we have missed. The Lord never commanded man not to eat from the tree of life! From the beginning He has loved us and desired our fellowship forever and ever!! B. Adam was commanded not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil… We were always supposed to eat from the Tree of Life! Revelation 22 1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever. IV. THE FALL Genesis 3 1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God actually say, 'You shall not eat of any tree in the garden'?" 2 And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, 3 but God said, 'You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'" 4 But the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths. 8 And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, "Where are you?" 10 And he said, "I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself." A. Now look at this…”He said to the woman, "Did God actually say..” the Hebrew word for God here is Elohim. The Serpent didn’t know the revelation of Elohim YHWH. He didn’t know the plan. It was hidden from him! Don’t you see God had already revealed Himself to man in a way that this fallen seraphim, who had looked into the very glory of God, did not know! It’s glorious!! B. As we’ve discussed, the words and translations here are important. The Hebrew word for serpent is Nachash. This creature is not a reptile from the animal kingdom being possessed by the devil, but rather is the devil himself. “Nachash” describes a shining being, a seraphim/serpentine- Satan or the Devil, for in the story he accuses (devil) and is the adversary of God and man (satan). C. What we need to understand is that this is not some barnyard animal story, this was a extra-dimensional (or extra-terrestrial) conspiracy against God. This was a planned assault against the government of God and His creation. D. If you study ancient history, from all over the world there are creation accounts that verify the Biblical narrative. From the American Indians, who have a story of a bearded Creator who came and created all that was good, followed shortly therafter by a plumed serpant, or brilliant (shiny) serpentine figure who corrupted the earth. There was human sacrifice and every vile thing, until finally the earth was laid waste by a flood. E. Asian ancient history tells the same story, as does Puru, Mexico, Central America… Even the Alaskan Eskimo has a similar creation story. A plumed (feathered) serpent, or a fiery dragon, or a shiny reptilian creature comes and deceives. The Indians call this time period, “the time when we lost our way.” F. Ancient history doesn’t destroy our faith. Ancient history confirms the story of our faith! V. THE CURSE/ THE PROMISE (depending on your perspective) Genesis 3 11 He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?" 12 The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate." 13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, "What is this that you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." 14 The Lord God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. 15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel." A. In his ‘The Serpent and the Seed,’ Charles Missler said, “ The curse says that the Nachash will be cursed above all livestock, above the beasts of the field. Or, to put it another way, he will be made lower than the livestock and beasts of the field. Based on the second part of the verse, “...on your belly you shall walk, and dust you shall devour all the days of your life,” many people read this spatially or physically. That is, he will be shorter than all other animals. Indeed, he will no longer have legs and feet, but will have to slither along the ground, the lowest of all animals. This is not the meaning. B. Instead of seeing God taking away the limbs of snakes (and how does this punishment even fit the crime using God’s own measuring stick of judgment: an eye for an eye?), it is better to see snakes as having always looked like they look now. They have always slithered; they have never had feet. This was an image God built into creation to display and personify coming evil. This curse consists of two parts. The first is a being brought low. The second is a judicial sentence to die. C. The idea here is that if Satan finds it this important to interfere in our realm, because all that he had been given in the heavenly realm was not enough, then fine. He will be forced to deal with our planet for all time. But he will now be given a position so low that even the beasts of the field will be considered more important, more authoritative than him. The other part of the verse is that Satan is being sentenced to die. It is the opposite of 1 Cor 15:53. Here, the immortal puts on mortality. This is the meaning of the image of eating the dust all the days of your life.” D. All of this pertains to our understanding of verse 14, but it’s verse 15 that we are waiting nearly with baited breath. You see it’s here in verse 15, that the first Gospel is preached, and it’s declared by Elohim YHWH Himself! Genesis 3:15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel." E. This is known as Proto-Evangelium (or First Gospel). It is the first telling of the victory of Jesus in the midst of a great war. This war was and is about genetics, both spiritual and physical. It is about the seed. The seed of the devil verses the seed of God. The seed of the devil verses the seed of the woman! Though hidden, it is the first glimpse we have of the baby who would be born the virgin Mary… literally fathered by God, and born of the seed a woman. 20 The man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living. 21 And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them. F. Here again, we see the first shedding of blood for the covering of sin. And it is God who makes Adam and Eve their covering! Do you see it!!? 22 Then the Lord God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—" 23 therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken. 24 He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life. G. We have considered this cutting off as a punishment, but if you can see take just a step to the right, maybe you will see that this is not judgment but rather mercy. In His love for us, the Lord separated the dimensions so that we could not eat of the Tree of Life in a fallen state, breaking our fellowship forever. No! For a time we were cut off, but there would be another tree provided, this one would look like a cross. His own Son would make way for us, opening a door once again into the reality of heaven. His own blood would be our covering. Jesus, the Lamb slain from before the foundation of the world, the One with the nailed hands, is our reconciliation.…

1:05:37There are so many questions concerning the end-times…but for our purposes, we are not trying to enter into a debate, but prepare our hearts to endure and be faithful to Jesus until He comes. There is more written about the final generation than any generation in the history of man. Prophets saw and recorded events from a great distance and trembled before God saying, “Who can endure the Great and Terrible day of the Lord.” These were men of the faith…men who entered the lions den rather than show disloyalty to God. And these men trembled when God revealed the plan of His salvation. This should bring sobriety to our hearts. I. THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION Matthew 24 15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, 18 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 19 And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather. A. Jesus validates the testimony of Daniel, and this is huge. He declares that Daniel saw ahead. This is our cue to study out Daniel as of utmost importance to our readiness for the days ahead. Jesus releases a warning. When you see the abomination of desolation…flee. Don’t look back. Don’t delay. Flee. B. There are a few key things to keep in mind when interpreting scripture…Primarily, that Jerusalem is the centerpiece of the story. We are looking to events unfolding in the Middle East. C. Secondly, that history always repeats itself. Every story is the same story. God loves man. God makes a covenant. Man forgets God. God raises up a witness, a reminder of the covenant. Man hardens his heart. God releases judgment/discipline. Man remembers God. D. The abomination of desolation in the holy place (the temple) is the absolute marking of the Great Tribulation. This is THE SIGN. This is the marker of the Great Tribulation…the greatest distress the earth has ever known. This is the death spiral of the world… E. This occurs when the Antichrist stands in the Jerusalem temple and declares himself to be God by setting up an idol in the temple and then seeking to force all who are on earth to worship him ( Dan. 11:31-32 ; Mt. 24:15 ; 2 Thes. 2:4 ; Rev. 13:14-17 ). The Antichrist’s statue or image will be the greatest abomination to God in history, because the Antichrist will demand to be worshiped as God and many will fully respond to this demand. II. LET SCRIPTURE INTERPRET SCRIPTURE Daniel 9 24 “Seventy weeks are decreed about your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place. 25 Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time. 26 And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed. 27 And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.” A. Daniel’s seventy weeks ( Dan. 9:24-27 ): The angel Gabriel revealed to Daniel that God’s purpose for Israel involved a prophetic period of seventy weeks. In the modern world a week speaks of a period of seven days. However, in the ancient world a week represented a period of seven years. Gabriel spoke to Daniel about a prophetic period in which God would deal with Israel’s salvation over seventy weeks or 490 years (70 x 7 years = 490 years). However, after the initial sixty-nine weeks (69 x 7 years = 483 years), a “pause” was put on the prophetic calendar when Jesus the Messiah was “cut off” or crucified. There is one week or seven years left in God’s prophetic calendar and plan in bringing Israel to salvation. The first sixty-nine weeks of the “seventy weeks” prophecy of Daniel 9:24-26 have been fulfilled beginning from Nehemiah’s command to rebuild the city of Jerusalem in 445 BC ( Neh. 2:1 ) to the time of Jesus’ first triumphal entry into Jerusalem to be crucified ( Dan. 9:25 ). B. The first 49 years (7 weeks) are the time during which the city was being rebuilt. These were the “times of trouble” mentioned in Daniel 9:25 and recorded in Nehemiah 2-7 as consisting of constant efforts by Israel’s enemies to prevent them from completing the project. Nehemiah tells of workmen building with one hand while holding a sword in the other, and sleeping on site in their clothes, for fear of a surprise attack. The remaining 434 years (62 weeks) began when the city and its walls were complete and ran to the time of the first Palm Sunday when Jesus presented Himself to Israel as their Messiah. Daniel 9 27 And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. C. This man, the antichrist will make a 7 year peace treaty with Israel and the surrounding nations. What is called a ‘peace treaty,’ God calls a covenant with death. What looks like a peace treaty in the beginning, ends up being a treaty with death. In the middle of the week… at the 3.5 year mark, everything changes. Isaiah 28 14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scoffers,who rule this people in Jerusalem!15 Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,and with Sheol we have an agreement,when the overwhelming whip passes throughit will not come to us,for we have made lies our refuge,and in falsehood we have taken shelter”;16 therefore thus says the Lord God,“Behold, I am the one who has laid [3] as a foundation in Zion,a stone, a tested stone,a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation:‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.’17 And I will make justice the line,and righteousness the plumb line;and hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,and waters will overwhelm the shelter.”18 Then your covenant with death will be annulled,and your agreement with Sheol will not stand;when the overwhelming scourge passes through,you will be beaten down by it.19 As often as it passes through it will take you;for morning by morning it will pass through,by day and by night;and it will be sheer terror to understand the message. D. This “peace agreement” will be the very thing that beats the nation down. Daniel 11 31 Forces from him shall appear and profane the temple and fortress, and shall take away the regular burnt offering. And they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate. 32 He shall seduce with flattery those who violate the covenant, but the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action. 33 And the wise among the people shall make many understand, though for some days they shall stumble by sword and flame, by captivity and plunder. 34 When they stumble, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join themselves to them with flattery, 35 and some of the wise shall stumble, so that they may be refined, purified, and made white, until the time of the end, for it still awaits the appointed time. 36 “And the king shall do as he wills. He shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak astonishing things against the God of gods. He shall prosper till the indignation is accomplished; for what is decreed shall be done. E. So before the antichrist can appear the temple needs to be rebuilt. And then the offerings are established. F. As part of its ongoing effort to prepare for a future rebuilt Temple, the Temple Institute has been preparing ritual objects suitable for Temple use. Many of the over ninety ritual items to be used in the Temple have been made by the Temple Institute. G. As of June 2008, a major current project of the Temple Institute is the creation of the sacred uniform of the Kohen Gadol , the High Priest, and the ordinary priests . This project, the culmination of years of study and research, has been underway for several years. The High Priest's Hoshen (breastplate) and Ephod have already been completed. The Tzitz , the golden crown of the High Priest, was completed in 2007. [1] The Temple Institute is designing the garments for the lay priests intended for purchase by Kohanim who can verify their lineage. H. The temple will be rebuilt and the regular offerings will be reestablished. Animal sacrifices will again be offered. Since 70a.d., all sacrifices have ceased. Daniel 12 11 And from the time that the regular burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days . I. When the antichrist sets himself up in the temple and demands to be worshiped…there are 3.5 years to go. There is a seven year peace treaty with many nations, the rebuilding of the temple, regular animal sacrifice is resumed, and then the antichrist defiles the Temple…the Great Tribulation begins…3.5 years pass and Jesus comes again. J. Read Revelation 13. The words antichrist come from the root words meaning not only “against” and “opposite” but also “in place of.” He will be an end-time leader resembling the Christ with a false peace, but not finally able to deliver salvation. III. ISRAEL AND THE REMNANT SAVED Ezekiel 9 9:1 Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, “Bring near the executioners of the city, each with his destroying weapon in his hand.” 2 And behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his weapon for slaughter in his hand, and with them was a man clothed in linen, with a writing case at his waist. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar. 3 Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub on which it rested to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writing case at his waist. 4 And the Lord said to him, “Pass through the city, through Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed in it.” 5 And to the others he said in my hearing, “Pass through the city after him, and strike. Your eye shall not spare, and you shall show no pity. 6 Kill old men outright, young men and maidens, little children and women, but touch no one on whom is the mark. And begin at my sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the house. A. God will place a divine seal upon those who mourn for the land. There is a mark of the beast, but there is also the seal of the Lord! He searches the earth. He looks for those who mourn for justice. And He marks these. Revelation 7 7:1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea, 3 saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” B. There is a remnant of Israel that is protected. They have mourned the covenant with death. They have mourned injustice. They have grieved, although they do not recognize Jesus yet…they have languished over the land. Ezekiel 12 15 And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them among the countries. 16 But I will let a few of them escape from the sword, from famine and pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they go, and may know that I am the Lord.” C. Even in their sin, they are a witness to the nations. They declare to the nations that their transgression has brought judgment upon Israel. Even in the scattering they declare the greatness of God! IV. THE GENTILES 2 Corinthians 1 21 And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, 22 and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. A. We are standing firm. We are sealed. There is for sure trouble coming on the entire earth, but there is also Divine protection to withstand the day of trouble. We are already sealed with the person of the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 1 11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. 13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee [4] of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, [5] to the praise of his glory. V. STANDING FIRM AND TAKING ACTION Daniel 11 32 He shall seduce with flattery those who violate the covenant, but the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action. 33 And the wise among the people shall make many understand, though for some days they shall stumble by sword and flame, by captivity and plunder. 34 When they stumble, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join themselves to them with flattery, 35 and some of the wise shall stumble, so that they may be refined, purified, and made white, until the time of the end, for it still awaits the appointed time. A. We are here making many understand the Word and the mystery of God unfolding. How? We are standing firm and taking action. This is the call to stand in the wall. This is the call to be loyal to Jesus. There is no more spectator Christianity. It’s either ALL in or ALL out. Why? Because it will be costly to stand with the Lord in that final hour. Of course, it will be eternally costly to side against Him. Hebrews 12 15 See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; 16 that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. 17 For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears. B. Esau sold his inheritance for a bowl of soup. There will be those who sell their soul for 3.5 years of false peace. We must value the Lord above temporary security. C. There are things that Daniel saw and was not allowed to record…and there are things thunders that John heard and was not allowed to write…these things have been reserved for the final generation. Daniel 12 12:1 “At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book. 2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”…8 I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, “O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?” 9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. D. Daniel wrote for another generation. I believe he wrote for ours. The last generation is promised understanding. We are promised wisdom. We are promised to make many understand. Although Daniel saw it, he did not understand. This is our inheritance: to understand. Revelation 10 10:1 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire. 2 He had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land, 3 and called out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring. When he called out, the seven thunders sounded. 4 And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.” 5 And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven 6 and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there would be no more delay, 7 but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants [1] the prophets. 8 Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, “Go, take the scroll that is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.” 9 So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, “Take and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.” 10 And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. It was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter. 11 And I was told, “You must again prophesy about many peoples and nations and languages and kings.” E. There are things that have been sealed up for us to search out. There is a call to eat the scroll. We are being called to participate with the realm of heaven. It wasn’t enough to watch the events…the call was to come up “here” and take hold of the word and eat it. F. We have been called to take hold of something. To digest it. We have been called to come up into the glory of the thing. The angel doesn’t stoop down to John…John is called to ‘come up here.’ VI. WHAT GOD CONSIDERS AN ABOMINATION Leviticus 18 21 You shall not give any of your children to offer them [2] to Molech, and so profane the name of your God: I am the Lord. 22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. 23 And you shall not lie with any animal and so make yourself unclean with it, neither shall any woman give herself to an animal to lie with it: it is perversion. Deuteronomy 7 25 The carved images of their gods you shall burn with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them or take it for yourselves, lest you be ensnared by it, for it is an abomination to the Lord your God. 26 And you shall not bring an abominable thing into your house and become devoted to destruction [3] like it. You shall utterly detest and abhor it, for it is devoted to destruction. Deuteronomy 17 17:1 “You shall not sacrifice to the Lord your God an ox or a sheep in which is a blemish, any defect whatever, for that is an abomination to the Lord your God. 2 Kings 23 24 Moreover, Josiah put away the mediums and the necromancers and the household gods and the idols and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might establish the words of the law that were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the Lord. 25 Before him there was no king like him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses, nor did any like him arise after him. Proverbs 6 16 There are six things that the Lord hates,seven that are an abomination to him:17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue,and hands that shed innocent blood,18 a heart that devises wicked plans,feet that make haste to run to evil,19 a false witness who breathes out lies,and one who sows discord among brothers. Isaiah 66 3 “He who slaughters an ox is like one who kills a man;he who sacrifices a lamb, like one who breaks a dog's neck;he who presents a grain offering, like one who offers pig's blood;he who makes a memorial offering of frankincense, like one who blesses an idol.These have chosen their own ways,and their soul delights in their abominations;4 I also will choose harsh treatment for themand bring their fears upon them,because when I called, no one answered,when I spoke, they did not listen;but they did what was evil in my eyesand chose that in which I did not delight.” Jeremiah 13 27 I have seen your abominations,your adulteries and neighings, your lewd whorings,on the hills in the field.Woe to you, O Jerusalem!How long will it be before you are made clean?” Jeremiah 32 34 They set up their abominations in the house that is called by my name, to defile it. 35 They built the high places of Baal in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, though I did not command them, nor did it enter into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.…

1:26:49Our nation is in a crisis of the faith…but I believe we can raise up intercession and push back the tide of darkness and lawlessness that is pressing in on all sides. We can search out the ancient ways, bend our hearts to obey, raise our voices to proclaim and take our place on the wall. God is looking for a man who will stand in the gap of the wall on behalf of the land. I. HERESY: AND THE DIVINE SET UP Matthew 24 3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. 9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. A. Previously, we talked about the false messengers that will arise. There will be false christs, false teachers and false prophets. There will be a gradual, but substantial moving away from the faith. Instead of the Word, there will be preaching about positive thinking. Instead of deliverance, we will hear preaching of tolerance. These are the gradual, but eternally destructive heresies that Jesus and the apostles of the faith warned us about. 2 Timothy 4 4:1 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. B. When we have messages with no truth…when we have services and never point people to the way of obedience, then we have entered into a famine. When we have prophecy but no weight, no condition to enter into…then this is the false message. C. There is a famine coming…not first of bread, but of the Word of the Lord. There is a famine coming, when sound teaching is so rare we will search but not be able to find it. Amos 8 11 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord God,“when I will send a famine on the land—not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,but of hearing the words of the Lord.12 They shall wander from sea to sea,and from north to east;they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord,but they shall not find it. John 14 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. D. Messengers must reprove, rebuke, and exhort in all patience and teaching (2 Timothy 4:2). Messengers must direct the hearer to Jesus…the way of the cross, the truth and the life. This is relevant. 2 Peter 3 16 … There are some things in them (Paul’s letters) that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. E. We are called to bend to the will of the Lord…if something is going to bend, or twist it needs to be our own hearts. We should never allow the Word of the Lord to be twisted to appease our complacency or sin. If we remain bendable and pliable in the Lord’s hand, we will be saved. If we read the Word, and our heart cry is, “God show me,” then we will be found faithful in the end. F. This gradual moving away from the faith is the set up for the tribulation and hatred of the church: those IN the faith. II. HATED BY ALL Matthew 24 9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. A. After the false message infiltrates the land, after the wars and rumors of wars comes…THEN comes tribulation. Jesus was very plain in giving us the order of events. We can trust Him. The government considers you a terrorist threat if you oppose abortion, own a gun or are a returning war veteran. That's what House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said Wednesday in response to a Department of Homeland Security report warning of the rise of right-wing extremist groups. (Fox News, blog, April 14, 2009) B. Maine: Historic vote. Anyone who preaches the standard of the Bible may be liable and punishable for hate crimes! Hastings v. Christian Legal Society (June, 2010)… Matthew 5 10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. C. This is not about being persecuted on account of not paying your parking tickets, or being unwise in business. This is about standing with the Lord in obedience and truth. This is about being loyal to Him. John 15 18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. 21 But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. D. Have we considered what it will mean to hated by all nations…? Meaning the standard of God will come against an assault from the entire globe. Have we considered this? 2 Timothy 3 12 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13 while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it E. ALL means all. Have we considered this? Does this line up with our thinking about blessing? Does this line up with the faith we have believed? Have we prepared our hearts for this? III. FALLING AWAY Matthew 24 10 And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another A. The order of events is signifigant. False messengers, national/global hatred and tribulation for those who remain in the faith….and then many will fall away. The pressure from the media, and the false message that many sit under week after week…is and will do something in the heart of man. It will create the set up for an all out walking away from the faith. B. “Jesus came to bring peace, right…” will be the argument given for renouncing the faith. It will seem unreasonable to be a Christian. It will seem intolerant. Many will say to us, “Just leave them alone…let them be in their choices.” C. But in that hour, and it’s closer than we think…God will raise up a witness that refuses to the let the people alone. Although hated, they will release the standard of the Lord with great power and fire and unction. This will be our hardest hour, but our most glorious hour. Luke 12 49 “I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it were already kindled! 50 I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how great is my distress until it is accomplished! 51 Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. 52 For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.” Luke 21 16 You will be delivered up even by parents and brothers [3] and relatives and friends, and some of you they will put to death. 17 You will be hated by all for my name's sake. 18 But not a hair of your head will perish. 19 By your endurance you will gain your lives. IV. LAWLESSNESS AND THE COLD HEART Matthew 24 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. Webster’s 1828 Dictionary: LAWLESS a. 1. Not subject to law; unrestrained by law; as a lawless tyrant; lawless men. 2. Contrary to law; illegal; unauthorized; as a lawless claim. 3. Not subject to the ordinary laws of nature; uncontrolled. LAWLESSNESS n. The quality or state of being unrestrained by law; disorder. A. There is a twisting of scripture where we throw off restraint in the name of grace. This has nothing to do with grace. Grace is not lawlessness…In fact, obtaining grace means that we have received the Divine empowerment of God to fulfull the law. To walk in grace is to walk in obedience. John 6 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. B. This is grace. To do the will of the Father. There is nothing wrong with restraint. In fact, we are to be a restrained and directed people. Not living out of carnal impulse…but directed by the very word of God. Not living by feelings, but ruled by God. This is grace. This is maturity. Proverbs 29 18 Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint,but blessed is he who keeps the law. C. In this season, let’s prepare our hearts by searching out the scripture. Let’s cling to the Lord. Let’s raise our voices. Let’s live the standard. Let’s cry out for mercy. Let us become that corporate ‘man’ God is searching for. Matthew 5 17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.…

1:08:48We have been commanded by Jesus to know the signs of His return. As sure as the heavens and the earth will stand, the prophetic Word of Jesus will come to pass just as He said it would. As we study the end-times, it is imperative to let scripture interpret scripture. This takes time. But rather than dissect half of a verse, we should see the Word of the Lord directing us from the beginning. Every story is His story. I. FALSE CHRISTS Matthew 24 3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. 9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then many will fall away [1] and betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. A. The very first warning we have from Jesus is concerning false Christ’s. Those who proclaim and direct the hearts of the church toward themselves without regard to loyalty to Jesus. This is the first warning of Jesus. What does that look like? B. These false messengers will come “in the name of Jesus.” They will come declaring the endorsement of heaven without loyalty to the scripture or the faith. They will pull the hearts of the church towards themselves. They will sit in the place of Jesus. C. I believe we have entered into this season is such a widespread way we can barely discern our error. When we have men and women who are more than all right being called “God’s anointed oracle,” and “God’s man or woman of the hour,” we have entered into error. Where are the friends of the Bridegroom? D. There is a falseness that has crept in unnoticed. Deception has blinded the church. We have stopped teaching and instructing the saints in the standard of the Lord. We have a new standard…do they leave happy? As if that has anything to do with releasing the Word of the Lord. It effects our services, our worship… When we are more concerned if the song choice has enough dynamics to move the crowd, and not at all concerned with whether the worship is actually worship, then we have not only been deceived, but are partnering in the deception. Matthew 7 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ E. The issue here isn’t about works. These people are doing ministry in the name of Jesus. There is just one problem, they were not sent ones. They were doing ministry and yet not doing the will of the Father. F. Have we understood this? Have we comprehended that we can be in the middle of ministry and completely out of the will of God? We have so many things that have been produced out of the realm of our own soul. Can we actually discern what a true move of the Spirit is? 1 Corinthians 2 2:1 And I, when I came to you, brothers, [1] did not come proclaiming to you the testimony [2] of God with lofty speech or wisdom. 2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. G. Would we be able to discern a man of the Spirit like Paul today? Would we give credence to a man or ministry that was marked with fear (of God), trembling and weakness? Would we? What about our nation? What about our region? The demonstration of the cross is trembling and weakness, even death. H. The false Christ will proclaim a resurrection without the death. The false Christ will declare authority without the fruit of submission. This is exactly what Jesus warns His disciples about. II. FALSE TEACHERS 2 Peter 2 2:1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 And in their greedthey will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep. A. Is this not timeless? It sounds as if Peter were writing in the year 2009! It’s a subtle shift from the centrality of the Living One, Jesus. Instead of Jesus our Teacher, we have settled for a man/woman telling us what the Word of the Lord is. If the veil has been torn, why have we put up our own sheet? It’s been said that churches often pay their preachers to protect them from God. B. A true teacher will direct you to The Teacher. Not protect you from Him. A true teacher will desire the “unity of the faith,” not accolades and immaturity. C. A false teacher is marked with three primary things: Denying Jesus, sensuality, and greed. Philippians 3 18 For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself. D. The false messenger has their mind set on earthly things. This is the root of the problem. 1 0and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority. Bold and willful, they do not tremble as they blaspheme the glorious ones, E. Though these false messengers claim to have authority, they in fact despise authority. They do not tremble. What a statement! They do not tremble. They stand as ambassadors of another reality and yet they do not tremble. This alone is the height of presumption and arrogance. James 3 3:1 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. 13…They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, while they feast with you. 14 They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children! 15 Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved gain from wrongdoing, 16 but was rebuked for his own transgression; a speechless donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet's madness. F. Unsteady souls are drawn into their ways. Here’s a good marker for the spirituality of the teacher/ minister… are those around them maturing? Are those around them humble? Are those around them trembling with the fear of the Lord? This is the true condition of the leader/teacher. 1 7 These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. For them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved.18 For, speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely escaping from those who live in error. 19 They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. 20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. 21 For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. G. They will get darkness because they loved their darkness more than light. This is what they desired. They promise what they cannot deliver. Matthew 12 33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit. 34 You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. H. Considering the warning, and whom it comes from, we should be careful to inspect the fruit. Signs can be deceiving. What is the fruit of the life? This is godly. This is right. And this is our job as the church. There is nothing wrong with looking at the manner of life. Does it line with scripture? With meekness? With trembling and weakness? 2 Thess 3 7 For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not idle when we were with you, III. FALSE PROPHETS Jeremiah 23 15 for from the prophets of Jerusalemungodliness has gone out into all the land.” A. This statement is so profound and weighty. To come to terms with this…that the state of the land is the statement of the spiritual condition of the church. The land languishes because the sons of God have not been revealed!!!! Romans 8 19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. B. The land is subjected to bondage because the sons have not been revealed. 16 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you, filling you with vain hopes. They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord. 17 They say continually to those who despise the word of the Lord, ‘It shall be well with you’; and to everyone who stubbornly follows his own heart, they say, ‘No disaster shall come upon you.’” C. There is so much at stake for playing at this…not only our own soul, but also our family…our entire generation. This passage seems to be timeless. And why, because it is truly the Word of the Lord! He speaks out of time. He speaks to every generation. Every culture. To think that we have conferences designed around the ridiculous question of how to make God relevant. This is a statement of our falseness. This is a statement of our falseness. God is relevant! 18 For who among them has stood in the council of the Lordto see and to hear his word,or who has paid attention to his word and listened?19 Behold, the storm of the Lord!Wrath has gone forth,a whirling tempest;it will burst upon the head of the wicked.20 The anger of the Lord will not turn backuntil he has executed and accomplishedthe intents of his heart.In the latter days you will understand it clearly. D. The awakened church will be prophetic. After all, what have they been awakened to but the Word of the Lord? Is it possible that Joel 2/ Acts 2 have to so with this passage? All flesh. The wicked will connect with the Spirit of the Lord on all flesh, but what does that look like? E. It seems that God’s wrath is directed to the false prophetic movement. When we think of the wicked, is the first thing that comes to mind the false prophetic movement or the pimp? 21 “I did not send the prophets,yet they ran;I did not speak to them,yet they prophesied. F. It’s arrogance and a presumption that marks this false movement. Have we trembled at the Word we’ve been given to speak? Is it a good idea? Or is it a Word from the Lord? 1 Corinthians 2 2:1 And I, when I came to you, brothers, [1] did not come proclaiming to you the testimony [2] of God with lofty speech or wisdom. 2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. G. If we have not understood this then we have not begun to hear the Word of the Lord. If there is no fear, no comprehension of weakness, no trembling…then it is not a Word from the Lord. We have asked for the power of God, but have we said yes to weakness, fear and trembling. 2 Corinthians 4 7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. 11 For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So death is at work in us, but life in you. H. If we would only say yes to the trembling…the responsibility of the Word, not just the momentary high of delivering the thing… the elation of being used by God, then we would surely tremble. Because whatever we are given we will be held accountable for. This is weighty. 22 But if they had stood in my council,then they would have proclaimed my words to my people,and they would have turned them from their evil way,and from the evil of their deeds. I. This promise is so sure and so simple. We have only one need…to hear the Word of the Lord. 23 “Am I a God at hand, declares the Lord, and not a God far away? 24 Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord. 25 I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in my name, saying, ‘I have dreamed, I have dreamed!’ 26 How long shall there be lies in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, and who prophesy the deceit of their own heart, 27 who think to make my people forget my name by their dreams that they tell one another, even as their fathers forgot my name for Baal? 28 Let the prophet who has a dream tell the dream, but let him who has my word speak my word faithfully. What has straw in common with wheat? declares the Lord. 29 Is not my word like fire, declares the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? J. The Word of the Lord is a fire. It cannot be handled. It cannot be touched. It cannot be manipulated. It is a fire. The Word of the Lord is like a hammer. When the Word of the Lord has been released the landscape of our hearts is altered. The lofty places are brought to nothing. Our good ideas are laid flat. 2 Corinthians 10 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. 5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, 6 being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.…

54:45There are things we know, and things we profess to believe, but if we are honest, we don’t really know them or believe them at all. It’s this culture of doubt, this culture of heresy and apostasy that I want to batter. Today we will tear down doubt, but we will do more than that. We will build up the wall, the shield, of our faith. Will you stop believing the devil? Don’t you know yet that he is nothing more than a liar? Why put your trust in his word? Why should you go on believing anything he says? I want you to come into more than “believe” and set of doctrinal points, today I want you to come into a living and active trust with the Man, Christ Jesus! After all, today is the day of salvation. Today is the day of atonement! Salvation: Deliverance from sin and its consequences, believed by Christians to be brought about by faith in Christ // Preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin, or loss // A source or means of being saved from harm, ruin, or loss. I. IN THE BEGINNING Genesis 1 [1] In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. [2] The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. [3] And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. A. The Holy Spirit did nothing until the Word came. We don’t know how many years the Holy Spirit hovered, waiting to act. The Bible doesn’t say… He could have waited for millions of years. What we do know is that when the Word came, and as soon as the Word came, there was light! B. This relationship between the Word and the action, or the manifestation, of the Holy Spirit has been in place from the beginning. We are relatively new to the scene… part of creation. As part of creation, we too, are recipients of the Word… and when the Word came, there was light within us. But there is more! Now we have been called into partnership with the Word… we are ambassadors of the Word, and the Holy Spirit waits for our command. C. This week we got to be part of Outreach Orlando in partnership with El Calvario. What an amazing week! I was preaching on being a burning one for God and the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and I asked the young people who had not being filled with the Holy Spirit to come up to receive the infilling of fire and power. I told them that when I prayed for them they would receive the Spirit of burning, and many of their hands would begin to feel fire. I prayed and was watching for the spontaneous outpouring of tongues to manifest (In part because right now I am reading a booking titled, “Tongues.”) At the end of the altar time several reported to me that they felt the fire of God and a burning in their hands. After leaving the meeting, while driving home, I asked the Lord why there was no manifestation of tongues when I prayed, and He said, “Because you did not declare it. What you declared did manifest.” D. The Spirit waits for the Word. This is the partnership we have been given with the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2 [11] For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. [12] Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. [13] And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. E. Many times what we believe does not manifest until it is confessed. Why? Because of this partnership, this relationship between the Word and the manifestation of the Spirit. How do we impart the things freely given to us by God? We impart the Word with words. F. Our beliefs are stored up, they are full of potential energy. It’s in it’s release (the confession of our beliefs) that we see movement or manifestation. II. FROM POTENTIAL TO KINECTIC Mark 16 [14] Afterward he appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen. [15] And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. [16] Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. [17] And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; [18] they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.” [19] So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. [20] And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by accompanying signs.]] A. This is the partnership we have been given. We preach, He performs. We declare, He does. We touch, He heals. This is the partnership. And this is the order. How do we release the power of God in the earth? We open our mouths and preach the Good news. How do we release supernatural manifestation of healing and deliverance? We lay hands… or ordinary hands, on sick people, on desperate people. We impart something heavenly, by doing something quite ordinary. Romans 1 [16] For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. [17] For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” B. The speaking of the Gospel is the impartation of faith for the sake of faith! This faith is the door and the life we come into with God. III. THE OPERATION OF FAITH IS BASED ON THE WORD OF PROMISE Galatians 3 [2] Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? [3] Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? [4] Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? [5] Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith—[6] just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”? A. How did Abraham believe God? What is his example to us? He received the Word of the Lord, the promise and believed that rather than the circumstances of his own body. He believed the Word rather the believing the circumstances of Sarah’s body. Abraham lived and waited for the Word of promise to manifest though in every way this promise was impossible. God came through! B. And then came another directive from the Lord, one that made no sense. The promise was not just that Abraham would have son (Isaac), but that all of the nations of the earth would be blessed through Abraham, that the seed of Abraham would become a nation. This was the promise! God directed Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, the son of promise. What is this final test? F.F. Bosworth, Chris the Healer: Abraham's faith was not based on anything he saw. You must see to it that yours is not. All that Abraham could see was contrary to what he was expecting. After Isaac was born, Abraham had a prop for his faith. Through Isaac, "all the nations of the earth shall be blessed." With his eyes upon Isaac, the channel through which God was to fulfill the rest of His promise, it was easy to believe. So God tested his faith, by telling him to offer Isaac, to destroy the channel. This did not daunt Abraham. Real faith thrives on a test. Since he still had God's Word for it, he was ready to remove every visible encouragement to his expectation and yet continue to be "fully persuaded." God had to halt him or he would have offered Isaac. This test was God's way of perfecting his faith, not of destroying it. If, after coming to God for healing, He finds you more encouraged by your improvement than by His Word, He may find it necessary to test your faith. This is to teach you the glorious lesson of believing His Word, when every sense contradicts Him. Faith has to do only with the Word of God. Hebrews 10 [35] Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. [36] For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. IV. CALVARY TRUMPS ALL SICKNESS A. I know there are many things we believe, but today I want you to come into faith for what you believe. The enemy lies, and pushes us back many times. Doubt begins to creep in and then take over. But I am here to speak a better Word to you. Our God hears, and our God acts. Jesus has carried our griefs and sorrows. Some translations say, sickness and pain. He has done it! And it is finished! Isaiah 53 [4] Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. [5] But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. B. How can we interpret this for our lives and for our loved ones. We must let scripture interpret scripture!! Matthew 8 [16] That evening they brought to him many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick. [17] This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: “He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.” C. Jesus, the Fulfiller, has come to deliver those oppressed by demons and heal bodies riddled with disease. He is Jesus from Nazareth, the Fulfiller of the prophetic Word. This is who He is! Psalm 107 [20] He sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction. D. Jesus is the Word that was sent. And now He is sending us! V. HOW DO WE BEGIN? A. We are learning how to do this together. We are enrolled in the School of Christ, and we have been given the best Teacher of all. He is leading us into all of the things that are already ours in Christ. And together, through submission to our Teacher, we are learning how to walk in these heavenly things. B. How do we begin? Start by declaring what you have seen. Consider and share what you have experienced in the Lord and begin to share that. Faith begets faith. Moses had to go talk to Pharoah when all he knew of God was in the burning bush. Later he had to cross the Red Sea (a Sea!) when all he knew what frogs, and boils and knats. Faith begets faith. Declare and recount what you have seen and look for God to spring up in the new thing. Mark 11 [24] Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. C. Today you receive your marching orders. Romans 10 [13] For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” [14] How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? [15] And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” [16] But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” [17] So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. D. Go out and begin to share the word and your experience in God. Release faith and faith will come forth. You will begin to see the supernatural power of God manifest….signs accompanying you as you go. This is what you were made for. This is what you have said yes to!…

1:04:07There is something beyond faithfulness… something beyond holding down the fort, so to speak. There is faith! I think its’ possible to call someone faithful, while there may be very little faith present. But it shouldn’t be so, should it? Faithful should mean to be full of faith. It seems to me that we don’t quite mean “full of faith” when use the word faithful. We mean steady. We mean consistent. Steadiness and consistency are wonderful qualities, especially in a culture that seems to be falling away from the principles of yesterday, where we would say what we meant and do what we said. Steadiness and consistency are to be honored. But when we speak of faithfulness (faith – full – ness), there is something more for us! There is actual faith. I’ve seen people faithful to attend prayer meetings, and those same people lacking in faith that God hears and will move. I want to call you into more than prayer meeting attendance. I am here to call you into faith. We are beloved children of the God who hears and moves. We are connected to the God who acts! I know some people would say that’s it’s impossible to be steady without faith, and there may be some truth to that. But I can say with assurance that I have been faithful to pray for sick people, without possessing faith for their healing. And if you are honest, you may admit that too. The desire of God is to fill you with faith. I’m all for steadiness… but let’s be steady IN FAITH. I. THE FORM OF FAITHFULNESS THAT DENIES FAITH 2 Timothy 3 [1] But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. [2] For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, [3] heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, [4] treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, [5] having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. [6] For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, [7] always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. A. There is a form of faithfulness that actually rejects true faith. There is a form of godliness that actually denies power. How does this work? When we pray for comfort instead of praying for healing. When we pray for the strength to let sickness ravage us while being a good witness for Christ, instead of contending for real deliverance. We must be very careful in this! We are ambassadors of the impossible. We are conduits of the power of God! B. It’s not loving to side against God and His expressed Word. It’s not loving to disbelieve the work of the cross. Either Christ has paid for all sins, sickness and burdens, or He hasn’t. What do we really believe? There are things we know and there are things we possess. And there is a difference. I want to provoke you to keep pressing in until the things you know become the things that follow you. Mark 16 [15] And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. [16] Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. [17] And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; [18] they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.” [19] So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. [20] And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by accompanying signs.]] C. We have been given a Gospel of power, not a gospel of pity. There is a compassion that denies power, a mercy that denies power… these are forms of godliness. The Gospel we have received is power, or it is not the Gospel! God has not sent us out to pity the lost, but to save the lost. Luke 4 [16] And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. [17] And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written, [18] “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, [19] to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.” [20] And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. [21] And he began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” D. We have not been given the ministry of prison visitation… rather we have been sent to set the captives free! (Obviously, I believe in prison ministry and am grateful for this ministry, I am referring to spiritual captivity.) We aren’t called to sand down trees limbs to form into walking sticks… we are called to heal the blind! The Gospel we believe and that we have inherited, the one that’s been passed down from Jesus to His apostles, down through the early church…this Gospel is power. II. DETROYING THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL A. Jesus is not willing to cohabitate with Satan. He’s made His claim on the earth by coming in the form of the man to redeem through His sinless obedience, what was lost by Adam in the garden even by his disobedience. Christ has been victorious! The title deed of the earth belongs to Him (Revelation 5:7-8). Satan has been disarmed and defeated by the cross. He’s been put to open shame by the cross (Colossians 2: 13-15)! Acts 10 [38] how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. B. The ministry of Christ (which is ongoing in us) is more than words… it’s action. He went about DOING. He went about HEALING. The phrase, “healing all who were oppressed by the devil,” should tell us something about sickness. Sickness is not from God. Oppression is not from God and is not part of the ministry of reconciliation. 1 John 3 [8] Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. C. Sin opens the door to destruction in our lives. Sin is in it’s essence, a refusal of reconciliation with God. That’s what it is and that’s why it has destructive effects in our lives. Reconcilation with Christ is salvation, literally eternal life. Refusal to be reconciled is death. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. III. TRESSPASSOR OR LEGAL TENANT? A. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil and His ministry is effective. The issue of freedom from sin, sickness or deliverance and how that can play out in our lives and through our lives and ministry, is a legal spiritual issue. I’m going to read you some very troubling scriptures, but my purpose is not to trouble you, but to bring you into peace. So, let’s not be afraid to look into these things. They will bring us into liberty and faith if we will submit. 1 Corinthians 11 [23] For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, [24] and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” [25] In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” [26] For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. [27] Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. [28] Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. [29] For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. [30] That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died. [31] But if we judged ourselves truly, we would not be judged. [32] But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world. B. Why…. Because communion is about communion . Communion is about receiving the cost of Christ’s sufferings as your sacrifice for sin. His broken body is your reconciliation. It took the violence of the cross to reconcile you for your sins. Do we understand this? How do we receive communion in an unworthy manner? Embracing our sin while hugging Christ. This is a betrayal and there are spiritual consequences but Paul also says that there are physical conseqquences! Satan has legal right to our bodies when we are in unrepentant sin claiming communion. 1 Corinthians 5 [1] It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father's wife. [2] And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you. [3] For though absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did such a thing. [4] When you are assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, [5] you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord. C. We see that Satan is given authority over the flesh, but even then the purpose of God is for ultimate reconciliation of the soul. Is God bringing the sickness? NO! Who is the destroyer of the flesh? Satan. Satan has been given legal access to those who are in the world, and to those who will not walk in reconciliation. D. But Christ has something better in mind for us! Salvation is for body, soul and spirit. So, what do we do when there is sickness and demonic oppression in the life of the believer. We speak the word of faith and believe for the action and power of God to manifest! This is our Gospel, and we have no other! Our Gospel is the power of God to bring us into wholeness. E. When the devil trespasses into our lives, we can’t give room to it. We must kick him out! We don’t make his bed, and get him milk and cookies at night. No! We turn him out. There is a witness in our spirit that he has no legal claim on us and we step into more than faithfulness… we step into faith! John 10 [17] For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. [18] No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.” F. We can’t afford to be confused about things such as healing and deliverance! God may call us to lay down our lives for Him… but it is a laying down. There is a chasm of difference between laying down our lives and having our health and joy stolen! John 10 [10] The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. IV. FAITH-FULL A. I believe we are about to come into some real fulfillment! I am asking the Lord to release signs and wonders in the house. I am believe He is leading many of you into a new reality of the supernatural expression and manifestation of His kingdom. Some of you are going to start believing and proclaiming. Some of you here are going to find yourselves FAITH-FULL. I see rivers coming out of you! No longer stagnant ponds…. Rivers of life. Life in your homes. Life in your job. Life! Luke 18 [2] He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. [3] And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ [4] For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man, [5] yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.’” [6] And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says. [7] And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? [8] I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” B. I’m so glad to be still praying with many of you. Learning how to discern the will of God in a community of people has been the most rewarding of my life as a believer. The transition we are stepping into is about looking for the God who answers! Prayer meetings don’t change the world….it’s faith in the God who hears and acts on our behalf that changes everything. With God all things are possible. Let’s believe!…

1:12:37Obedience is not the final stage of our maturity in Christ… it’s our training for a life of partnership with Him. It’s the beginning. There is more than complying with the Word of the Lord. There is more than acquiescing to the command of the Lord. Much more! The joy comes from a place of surrender to the will of the Lord, but a surrender so complete that we are swept into the momentum of saying yes. It’s a surrender so deep that we are partners in the thoughts and will of God. There is more for us than obedience. And yet, there is not less. Obedience is the teacher that leads us into true joy. We were made to worship the Lord. We were created to bring Him pleasure. There is a partnership with Jesus that to describe is nothing short of miraculous. God will grant to us the honor of moving His heart… of hastening His day. This is lofty indeed! I. BE UNTO ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WILL Luke 1 [26] In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, [27] to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. [28] And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” [29] But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. [30] And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. [31] And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. [32] He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, [33] and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” [34] And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?” [35] And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God. [36] And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. [37] For nothing will be impossible with God.” [38] And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her. A. Saying yes to the Lord is the beginning of the supernatural in your life. Mary could have gotten stuck in the details, asking, “How will this be?” Many of us get stuck trying to figure out how the Word of the Lord will come to pass in our lives. We look and look, but we can’t see how it will unfold. Beloved, the Word of the Lord comes to pass because of the work of the Holy Spirit. B. We are desperate for a move of the Spirit. We long to see a move of God in our lives, in our regions and nation. So, we have to say yes to the Holy Spirit. We must say, like Mary, “Behold, I am a servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” C. Have you said yes to the Lord, or are you still trying to figure it out? Are you still trying to figure out how you are going to make it all happen? The plans of the Lord, believe it or not, will require the Lord. A move of the Spirit will require the Spirit. There is far more for us! Say yes! Just say yes. II. OBEDIENCE IS THE BEGINNING BUT CERTAINLY NOT THE END A. Obedience opens the door to the supernatural realm of God in your life. The Kingdom of Heaven manifests in our lives when we surrender to the expressed will of God. Let me put it this way, the Kingdom of Heaven (the blessing of Heaven) will not operate while we are in explicit disobedience. Salvation is the manifestation of God in us from the place of being reconciled. Physical healing is the manifestation of our bodies being reconciled to God. Deliverance is the manifestation of our souls being reconciled to God. Forgiveness and newness is the manifestation of our spirit man being reconciled and made alive to God. B. How are we reconciled? We surrender. We receive. Salvation is what we receive when we surrender. We receive the Kingdom of Heaven and it’s manifestation in our lives. You can’t work your way into reconciliation. Salvation is the gift of God. You receive it. It’s easy. Just receive it! But many will ask, how do I receive? Set your mind the things of the Spirit. (Romans 8) Romans 10 [3] For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. [4] For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. C. The beginning is submission, but in Christ has come to lead us into more than submission to the law, not less. He’s come to lead us into real relationship. The law provides us with 613 requirements, the do’s and don’t’s, for being in right standing with God. Jesus has made a way for us to be in living relationship with the Father. We aren’t looking at the Low, rather, we can set our eyes fully on God. Our confidence is in His leadership for our lives and not a list. Jesus will never lead us into breaking the Law, but will lead us into the liberty of fulfillment. John 15 [7] If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. [8] By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. [9] As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. [10] If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. [11] These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. [14] You are my friends if you do what I command you. [15] No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. [16] You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. [17] These things I command you, so that you will love one another. D. Obedience is like abiding…It’s not the end… it’s the beginning of our real life in God. Abiding is the prerequisite of our partnership with God. III. DO AS HE SAYS A. Mary had learned something in the 30 years following her yes to the Lord. She had learned that her yes unlocked the very heavens. She had learned that her yes moved the heart of God. She had grown up in the things of the Spirit. She had matured past compliance to partnership. There is more than just saying yes. The desire of God for us is that we also contribute to His plans. This is lofty indeed! Imagine that!!! The God of the Universe is open to receiving your ideas. There’s more for us than submission (but never less). John 2 [1] On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. [2] Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. [3] When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” [4] And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” [5] His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” [6] Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. [7] Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. [8] And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. B. Mary hastens the day! This is so utterly astounding it’s difficult to wrap our minds around. And it’s in the 2ndchapter of John’s Gospel. Mary is the picture of maturity in her faith. 30 years later, we see that she has come into understanding that she brings pleasure to the Lord by her faith. She’s not passive anymore. She’s hastening… she’s arousing the Lord’s heart. 2 Peter 3 [11] Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, [12] waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! C. Jesus has granted to us the highest place of honor that can be given. We have been given the place of moving His heart. His desire is to bring us into friendship… into closeness. Friendships are never one-side. Song of Solomon 7 –The Bride Gives Her Love [ 11] Come, my beloved, let us go out into the fields and lodge in the villages; [12] let us go out early to the vineyards and see whether the vines have budded, whether the grape blossoms have opened and the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love. [13] The mandrakes give forth fragrance, and beside our doors are all choice fruits, new as well as old, which I have laid up for you, O my beloved . D. Maturity is more than compliance with the will of the Lord. It’s a surrender so deep, so perfected, that we are able to provoke the Lord. His desires have become ours. We are no longer just passively agreeing with His will, we are calling and hastening Him to respond. This is maturity. Compliance isn’t the place of joy, partnership is where we enter into fullness. Hebrews 12 [1] Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, [2] looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. E. Real partnership comes from the place of absolute surrender, just as it did for Jesus. I want you to set your sights beyond compliance. I want you to see the joy that’s been set before you. It’s in light of this joy, that we too can endure the cross. If you haven’t said yes, then start there. But if you have, let Him lead you into better and higher things. There’s more for you!…

You have said yes. You have cried out, “Send me!” Your heart has been drawn into the counsel of the Lord. You’ve remembered His word over your life. It’s time to go! It’s time for a launching out. For everything there is a season, a time for every matter under heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1). It’s the season of ekballo! We are coming into the season of The Send. This launching will be widespread and the harvest will be unparalleled. It’s already begun! And you are part of it now. Over the past years, it seemed like wisdom to discuss the facts of why it seemed impossible to obey the Lord. But this generation is going to denounce this “wisdom” for exactly what it is…Foolishness. This generation is going to act like Believers. This generation is going to GO. Mark 8 [16] And they began discussing with one another the fact that they had no bread. [17] And Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened? You can spend your whole life discussing the facts and never really enter into the Kingdom of Heaven and the plan of God for your life. The focus of our existence is to extend from the Word of the Lord. This is your inheritance: To live from His Word and not the facts. The facts will bend. The facts will bow. But the Word of the Lord will not change! This is your glory and your inheritance. Don’t get caught up in the facts!! Live into the Word of the Lord for your life and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime. I. AND HE SAID, GO AND SAY TO THIS PEOPLE Isaiah 6 [8] And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” [9] And he said, “Go, and say to this people: “‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’ [10] Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy, and blind their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.” com·mis·sion noun 1. the act of committing or giving in charge. 2. an authoritative order, charge, or direction. 3. authority granted for a particular action or function. 4. a document granting such authority. 5. a document conferring authority issued by the president of the U.S. to officers in the Army, Navy, and other military services, and by state governments to justices of the peace and others. A. The Lord breathes us in and breathes us out. He calls us close, He sends us out. You cannot be sent, unless you come in. But you cannot stay in, when He has commissioned you out. It’s not either-or, it’s yes-and. We are not called for the sake of being called. We are not commissioned for the sake of our own commissioning. We are called for the sake of being sent to a real people. B. We have conferences almost every weekend of every month related to our callings, and yet we have so many untended fields. You are a gift. You are a gift FOR someone, for a people, for a region, for a nation. Kings aren’t anointed kings for their own sake, but for the sake of the kingdom… the people within it. Evangelists find the church, Pastor nurture the church, Teachers instruct the church, Prophets direct the church, and Apostles build the church. The gifts, your gift, can only function within a body. You can only find your function through connection! Matthew 9 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. C. You’ve got to find your flock! To come into your destiny, you’ve got to find your field. And this will change everything for you! I’m known for a little saying, “Bloom where you’re planted.” I believe it. And I can say concerning this, “Follow me as I follow Christ.” Jesus was faithful for 33 years in something much, much less than His ultimate role, and He is our example. David was called to fight Goliath, but he was equipped for that role not because of the prophetic anointing of Samuel, he was equipped because he had been victorious (on the backside of nowhere) with the lion and the bear. David learned a lot about shepherding a nation from his first role of shepherding sheep. Peter learned a lot about fishing men from catching fish. Learn to be faithful with what you have before you! Mark 14 [6] But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. [7] For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want, you can do good for them. But you will not always have me. [8] She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for burial. [9] And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her.” D. The point is this: Do what you can with what you have! Strive to be faithful and not perfect. Matthew 28 [18] And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. [19] Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, [20] teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” We are a commissioned lot. No matter what our calling, we all have the same commission. We need each other. We will have different roles in this, but our purpose has been set by Jesus. You are called to GO! This is for you! You are in full time ministry right now. You will be fruitful only when you start to sow. The fruit springs up only after we scatter the seed!! Mark 4 [26] And he said, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground. [27] He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows; he knows not how. [28] The earth produces by itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. [29] But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.” E. It’s time to preach the Gospel! It’s time for you to open your mouth and declare it!! Don’t worry about everything you don’t know… you know more than most. Find your field and open your mouth! Oh, and you will begin to see it spring up. It will astound you. And soon you will see fields ripe for the harvest! It’s time for you! II. A PECULIAR MESSAGE Isaiah 6 [9] And he said, “Go, and say to this people: “‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’ [10] Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy, and blind their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.” A. I’ve never heard anyone preach this message. Every preaching I have ever heard on Isaiah 6 ends with God’s command to go, however the more I studied this out, the more I realized how much we have missed in not comprehending the message. Paul quotes and preached this exact message in the final message recorded in the book of Acts. B. Before I speak into this, let me tell you a story from this past week. I had a couple of days freed up so that I could take the kids down to see Larry in Miami. As you know, he’s been working hard to get ready for the Reinhard Bonnke crusade coming up in South Florida. Well, one of the evenings we went to a prayer gathering where Evangelist Bonnke came to speak. Initially we were standing in the back of a long line. Juniah was patient, but Judah was terribly annoyed. Eventually, Larry found us and led us to some great seats. We sat and waited and then someone came to remove us from the seats and the Cfan staff was so apologetic and moved us to row two. Still pretty great! Judah was embarrassed and thought we should move back up. I used to opportunity to teach Jesus’ parable on the taking for yourselves the best seats and then having to be removed when someone more important came along. Jesus tells us to go to the back and wait to be honored. Just as we were discussing this, a Cfan employee said that wanted to give us the best seats in the house and moved us to front row center! We were amazed at the kindness of God. And I was amazed at God’s timing to illustrate a principle. Awesome! C. When we got to the car, Judah said something about how God doesn’t show him things, how God doesn’t answer. And I brought up the seats, and how God favored him… even moving him to the front. Now you know I love my son, but he is still spiritually dull. He has eyes that don’t see yet, and ears that don’t hear yet and a heart that does not understand. This is the message Isaiah heard from the throne and went back to declare. God is speaking and revealing. He has unveiled Himself. In fact, the veil has been torn. Our God is not far off and aloof, we are. This is our message! D. Yesterday I spent a few hours reading just the words of Jesus (the red letters) in the Gospel of Mark. I was actually surprised to see how many times Jesus referenced this exact passage from Isaiah 6 . Mark 4 [10] And when he was alone, those around him with the twelve asked him about the parables. [11] And he said to them, “To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables, [12] so that “they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand, lest they should turn and be forgiven.” [13] And he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? Mark 7 [14] And he called the people to him again and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand: [15] There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.” [17] And when he had entered the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable. [18] And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, [19] since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) Mark 8 [16] And they began discussing with one another the fact that they had no bread. [17] And Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened? [18] Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember? [19] When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They said to him, “Twelve.” [20] “And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” And they said to him, “Seven.” [21] And he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?” E. The message isn’t to proclaim a continuation in blindness, deafness and dullness… the message is the call to see, hear and understand. Mark 8 [11] The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven to test him. [12] And he sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.” [13] And he left them, got into the boat again, and went to the other side. F. The message of Christ is this… if you were truly seeking a sign from heaven, then you would see me, but the truth is that they weren’t seeking a sign at all, they had come to argue. This is the message of Isaiah 6, and it is the message of Christ, and it is our message. G. Many times we pray, “God do something… show them a sign… give them a message.” But the truth is that He has. They need eyes to see, ears to hear and hearts that will perceive. As intercessors we aren’t standing on behalf of our generation beseeching God, we are sent on behalf of our God, beseeching a generation. III. HOW LONG LORD? Isaiah 6 [11] Then I said, “How long, O Lord?” And he said: “Until cities lie waste without inhabitant, and houses without people, and the land is a desolate waste, [12] and the LORD removes people far away, and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land. [13] And though a tenth remain in it, it will be burned again, like a terebinth or an oak, whose stump remains when it is felled.” The holy seed is its stump. A. This is not an Old Testament message… no this is the message until the return of Christ. This is our message. Christ has done it all. He is commissioning us and sending us to declare the finished work of the cross. To declare His desire to be reconciled, His desire to be known, and His desire to be received. We have been called to Him to know His love. And we have been sent to declare His goodness. 2 Corinthians 5 [14] For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; [15] and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. [17] Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. [18] All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; [19] that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. [20] Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. [21] For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. Heavenly Father, thank you for revealing your love and for sending Jesus to save us. Thank you for making me new. I’ve said yes to you! Send me into whatever field seems pleasing to you. My only desire is to be fruitful for your name’s sake. Give me boldness to proclaim your word, and use my life to make the blind see and the deaf hear. You are mine, and I am yours !…

1:16:25God saved you FOR something, not just FROM something. Salvation is the prerequisite for the longing of God. There is much more than forgiveness of sins, and the infilling of His Spirit. What I mean by more, is that these things are unto something more. Forgiveness and reconciliation lead to partnership with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, just as the wedding leads us into the marriage. The Love of God is always expanding. And when we receive His love, it expands within us. If we receive His love, expand. His government is expanding, His Kingdom is advancing! And if we receive it, it will expand within us. His love cannot be contained. Heaven can’t contain His love. Love transcendent broke into time and space. The universe is expanding at the speed of light! His love goes on and on and on. Everything points back to Him. The mathematicians considered this truth of God and named it infinity. The boundless nature of the love of our God! Who can fathom and understand? We breathe Him in and we have to breathe Him out. To live you have to inhale and exhale. It’s not one or the other. How could we choose which is more life giving for us, inhaling or exhaling? To love we must breathe in and then breathe out. This is how we live! In Him we live, and move, and have our being!! I. AND I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE LORD Isaiah 6 [8] And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” [9] And he said, “Go…” A. Isaiah heard the voice of the Lord. This is where our calling begins… It doesn’t begin in our minds. It doesn’t begin with an assessment of our spiritual gifts and talents. It begins in the heart of God. Isaiah heard the voice of the Lord. Our calling originates in the heart of God. B. You must know by know that everything is competing for you attention. There is so much noise coming at us. So much input. So many voices. The there is only one thing that matters, and that’s whether you can hear the voice of the Lord. We can skip conference to conference, and service to service, and tv program to tv program, or library book to library book, etc. We can busy ourselves. You’ve done it. I’ve done it. But the issue at hand is whether we can hear the voice of the Lord. What is the Word of the Lord? What has He spoken to you? Write it down. Make it plain. ________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________ Jeremiah 29 [10] “For thus says the LORD: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place. [11] For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. [12] Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. [13] You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. [14] I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the LORD, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile. C. There are things in the heart of the Lord for you! There are things He will speak to your heart and that ministry will literally be conceived within you. The scriptures say the Word of the Lord is like the seed. When we receive it from the Lord it’s as small as a seed. But we receive it and treasure it and it begins to grow and expand. We can’t make it grow. And we can’t make it come forth. But we can treasure it. By this same analogy we can abort it. We can neglect it. But not us! No, we are those who receive and treasure! The Lord will bring it forth! Ephesians 2 [10] For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. II. THE LORD CALLS US A. The call of Jeremiah: Jeremiah 1 [4] Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.” [7] But the LORD said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. [8] Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, declares the LORD.” [9] Then the LORD put out his hand and touched my mouth. And the LORD said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. [10] See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.” [11] And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see an almond branch.” [12] Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.” B. The call of Peter and the disciples: Matthew 4 [18] While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. [19] And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” C. The call of Samuel: 1 Samuel 3 [8] And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Then Eli perceived that the LORD was calling the boy. [9] Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down, and if he calls you, you shall say, ‘Speak, LORD, for your servant hears.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place. [10] And the LORD came and stood, calling as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant hears.” [11] Then the LORD said to Samuel, “Behold, I am about to do a thing in Israel at which the two ears of everyone who hears it will tingle. [12] On that day I will fulfill against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end. [13] And I declare to him that I am about to punish his house forever, for the iniquity that he knew, because his sons were blaspheming God, and he did not restrain them. [14] Therefore I swear to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever.” [15] Samuel lay until morning; then he opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel was afraid to tell the vision to Eli. [16] But Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son.” And he said, “Here I am.” [17] And Eli said, “What was it that he told you? Do not hide it from me. May God do so to you and more also if you hide anything from me of all that he told you.” [18] So Samuel told him everything and hid nothing from him. And he said, “It is the LORD. Let him do what seems good to him.” [19] And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground. [20] And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established as a prophet of the LORD. [21] And the LORD appeared again at Shiloh, for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of the LORD. D. The Lord initiates. Our calling originates in the heart of the Lord. Peter was not looking, but he was called. Samuel was not looking, but he was called. Jeremiah was not looking, but he was called by the Lord. The Lord is searching the earth… He’s searching your heart. He’s interviewing for positions! He calls us. We can’t appoint ourselves into positions. He establishes us, we can’t establish ourselves. The call of God is sovereign, but we steward the condition of our heart. III. WHOM SHALL I SEND AND WHO WILL GO? Isaiah 6 [8] And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” [9] And he said, “Go…” A. To me, this is the aspect of God that just undoes me. Jesus is the Head, the Captain of the volunteer army. He knows what’s in His heart. He knows the plans He has for us, and yet there is a question in His heart about who will say yes. I don’t know about you, but this overwhelms me. When we had our ministry school, the students who would get to year to would inevitably struggle with the doctrines of sovereignty and free will. Late nights and Facebook debates would ensue, and always my counsel would be to stay within the tension of the Word. The Lord… Omnipotent, Omniscient, Transcendent asks a question! Isaiah hears 2 questions: 1. Whom shall I send? 2. Who will go for us? The God of the Universe is in counsel with Himself. The Trinity is conversing. 2 Chronicles 16 [9] For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him. B. Have you considered that the Lord is interviewing right now? 1 Samuel 13 [13] And Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the command of the LORD your God, with which he commanded you. For then the LORD would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. [14] But now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD has sought out a man after his own heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you.” C. Who was this man after God’s own heart? David. Do you know where He was when Samuel prophesied this to Saul? On the backside of nowhere tending sheep. Samuel had not even met him yet. But the Lord knew Him. The Lord has already searched Him out. D. And then the Lord asks, who will go. Our assignments from the Lord begin by drawing close, but they are not stagnant around the throne. We are brought in to be launched out! Beloved, you have just a few years to run the race that’s been marked out for you. Don’t waste it. Don’t be distracted from it. Don’t lose heart in it. Run the race that’s been set for you! Luke 10 [2] And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. E. The word send is from the Greek word ekballo… which means to to cast out, drive out, to send out with a notion of violence. The Lord wants to know who will go! We have messages that call us to come. And there are servants that release the message to go. But we need both. Our callings begin in beholding and hearing the Lord, but they don’t end there. And our callings cannot begin with the send. No, we must draw near to Him and come close, but there is an ekballo coming for all who will. IV. HAVE YOU SAID YES? Isaiah 6 [8] And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” A. I was recently with a friend, really she’s a mentor to me, and we were talking about the prophetic dreams over Resound and over my life. And we were talking about the necessity to treasure the Word of the Lord. And then she asked me a question. She asked me if I had ever just said yes to the Lord concerning all of the things He has promised. And the question just hung in the air…and I thought about it. And sitting there I realized I had never given my yes to the Lord. And so sitting there my friend and I prayed. We established an altar right there in the car and I gave my yes to the Lord. B. There are some of us who have never heard the Word of the Lord. It’s not been clear to you what He’s saying, or maybe it’s been clear but we needed to be reminded. I think there are lots of us who have heard, we are clear, but we have never just said yes. When the angel announced to Mary that she would conceive a child even though she was a virgin, Mary asked, “How can this be?” And many of us are stuck here. We have heard the Lord, but we can’t figure out for the life of us how He will accomplish His Word. Beloved, that’s the whole point. He’s going to accomplish it. In us. Through us. He’s going to do it. He’s waiting for our yes. Matthew 4 [18] While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. [19] And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” [20] Immediately they left their nets and followed him. C. The Lord will accomplish His Word. For our part, we say, “Here we are. Send us!” This is our role. This is our joy. 2 Peter 1 [21] For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. Prayer: Father, carry me along by your Holy Spirit. Open my ears to hear you. Send me. My answer is YES.…

1:03:14There is not any Biblical account of beholding God that leaves the reader with a sense of flippancy. I find it deeply concerning that within the charismatic movement (of which I’m part) there is a sense of levity expressed when teaching on the things of the Spirit. Now to be sure, in the presence of the Lord there is fullness of joy, but that joy is not silly or frivolous. Joy is not glib. There is not one Biblical account of people interacting with angels, messengers from God, where the participant is left with goose bumps, but otherwise unmarked. Heaven and earth do not collide in a superficial way. When the body of Christ begins to have angelic visitations where there is no heavenly message, where there is no fear of the Lord, then we should absolutely question the legitimacy of these visitations. When heaven and earth interact there are real markers. Now that being said, our very hope is for more of God. More dialogue. More of His Spirit. More heavenly experience. My caution is that we look into these accounts, and know what we are asking. And counting the cost, we would lift our voices and cry, “It is worth it. Jesus, you are worth it.” To desire the deep things of the Spirit with no regard for the things of the Spirit will leave us nowhere. But this makes sense even in our earthly relationships. To desire intimacy, and yet to have no regard for the person we are in relationship with, will not produce intimacy. Not in marriage. Not in our relationship with the Lord. I’ve been thinking about how the Lord works in our lives. When He first comes to us, the greatest demand He makes on us is to simply receive His love. It sounds so easy, but when you’ve been crushed by sin, letting love in can seem impossible. He makes no other requirement on us. Not at the first. Because receiving His love, by receiving what He’s done for us on the cross, is enough. The question of discipleship, or His Lordship in our lives, is this… now that you’ve received, do you want more? When our hearts respond to His with a yes, He answers for us to follow Him. But even then, it’s all about love. It’s all about receiving more love. Don’t be afraid of the title: A Good Death. It’s going to be all right. Everything is going to be ok. There is love on the other side. Besides, everyone dies. The only question for any of us is whether we die a good death, or not. I. A GOOD DEATH A. If you’ve seen the superman movie, there is a line, “A good death is its own reward.” God speaks to me when I read novels, or watch movies. He is the ultimate storyteller, and this is one of those lines that had God all over it. There’s a similar dialogue in the movie, The Last Samurai. The characters are discussing past battles and reliving old combat, and several times the Samurai leader would declare something to be a “good death.” B. There are good deaths and bad ones. But we will all die. No one is going to get out of it. We are all eventually going to cross over; the issue is not if we will, but how we will. Isaiah 6 5 And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!” C. Isaiah has an encounter with the Lord in the heavens that does more than reveal God… when you come into contact with Light, you are revealed too. The state of your life is exposed. If we’re honest this is why we shrink back from God. It’s not so much that we don’t want to be close. I think it often has more to do with the fact that we don’t want to be uncovered. We still have areas where we are ashamed. We know that we are bare before Him, that nothing is hidden from His sight. We believe this. But we have areas in our hearts that we don’t want to see. And if we come into His love, if we come closer and let His love in to our hearts, we will have to see what we so desperately want to forget. In our experience, love can often times be quite painful. And it will always be so until we stop hiding. The Lord calls to us like He did the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, in the garden. He calls us to come out of our hiding places, and into His light and love. Our fig leaves can’t conceal us, and so He has made for us a better covering… the Blood of Christ is our righteousness! Revelation 1 [12] Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, [13] and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. [14] The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, [15] his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. [16] In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength. [17] When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, [18] and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades. D. John sees the Lord and falls down like a dead man. Divine encounter brings us to the end of ourselves. There is nothing shallow or cursory about John’s meeting with Jesus. He is brought to the very end of everything and anything he can do. The Lord touches him so that he is able to receive. Have you ever considered that you have to be anointed so that you are enabled to receive? You need God to love God! Ezekiel 3 [12] Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great earthquake: “Blessed be the glory of the LORD from its place!” [13] It was the sound of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the sound of the wheels beside them, and the sound of a great earthquake. [14] The Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness in the heat of my spirit, the hand of the LORD being strong upon me. [15] And I came to the exiles at Tel-abib, who were dwelling by the Chebar canal, and I sat where they were dwelling. And I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days. OVERWHELM- (Webster’s 1828 Dictionary) To overspread or crush beneath something violent and weighty, that covers or encompasses the whole; as, to overwhelm with waves. E. When God comes, He comes. And His presence is overwhelming. His Goodness is overwhelming. His Kindness of overwhelming. I don’t want you to be afraid or worried that what you will encounter from His heart will be bad. It won’t be bad… quite the opposite, it will just be so much Good! It will be so Good, that you will be left utterly undone. Exodus 33 [18] Moses said, “Please show me your glory.” [19] And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The LORD.’ And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. [20] But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.” [21] And the LORD said, “Behold, there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock, [22] and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by. [23] Then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen.” F. Can you imagine there is so much Goodness emanating from God that for our safety we have to be protected? I can’t even begin to comprehend what this means. God is so marvelously Good that He has to shield us for our welfare! Come into the light. Just because there’s some pain involved doesn’t mean He’s not Good! II. IDENTITY ISSUES A. When we are heavenly minded, we can finally be some earthly good. When Isaiah sees the Lord (Isaiah 6), he doesn’t become lofty and out of touch, rather he comes into full identification with his generation. It’s no longer Isaiah chiding those “ungodly” people. Suddenly, before the Lord, Isaiah can see that he is in the exact same state. B. The Apostle Paul was taken into heaven, and came out with the same marked character: humility. A real encounter with Jesus will not, no cannot, leave you conceited. Why? Because a real encounter with God is also a real revealing of our own hearts. And anyone who has truly seen the state of his or her own heart cannot be conceited. The secret to humility is to come into the light. Stop trying to be humble. Just come into God! 2 Corinthians 12 [1] I must go on boasting. Though there is nothing to be gained by it, I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord. [2] I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. [3] And I know that this man was caught up into paradise—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows—[4] and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter. [5] On behalf of this man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses—[6] though if I should wish to boast, I would not be a fool, for I would be speaking the truth; but I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me. C. Paul, who was taken into the third heavens, came out of that divine encounter and wrote this: Romans 3 [23] for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God… D. Paul included himself in this “all.” We need to see Jesus. 1 Corinthians 9 [19] For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. [20] To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. [21] To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. [22] To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. E. This was not a mission’s strategy; this was the result of Paul’s heavenly interactions. He identified with all because he had seen his own heart. And whether he was dealing with Jews or Gentiles, the truth is that all of sinned. F. When we try and do ministry out of any place other than encounter, we will not see heavenly results. Our hearts must come into a revelation of our own need… even our own depravity. Priestliness requires identification. And no matter what our gift to the body, the church, we must operate from a place of priestliness. We must identify with those we are called to serve. God will not rest on our human pity. We must see that we are wretched, poor and blind too! I know that this will be offensive to many, but it is nevertheless the way. Revelation 3 [14] “And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation. [15] “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! [16] So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. [17] For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. [18] I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. G. God wants us to see. He wants us to prosper. The issue is that we see that He is the source of our sight and the source of our abundance. The issue is identity. The Christian life is about abiding, reflecting and receiving. It’s about coming to terms with the truth. I don’t know why this should be so difficult to work through, but it is. It’s painful to come to terms with the truth. But! But when we do, we will see. And when we do, we will receive everything we need for life and life more abundantly. H. I can’t save us from the woe. I can’t save us from falling down like dead men. I can’t save us from the overwhelming Goodness of God. And I wouldn’t want to! This is the good death. It’s good to come to the end of ourselves. This is GOOD! Luke 18 [9] He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: [10] “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. [11] The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. [12] I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ [13] But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ [14] I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” I. The blessing is in the seeing. Do you see? We’re all in the same boat. We all desperately need God. You need Him just as much as the prostitute turning tricks. So do I! Let’s come in to the Goodness of the Lord, even though the price is seeing ourselves. Let’s come in anyway. He’s so worth it! Father, anoint me to abide, reflect and receive. I want to come into your Goodness. Help me see You and give me grace to see myself. Break shame off of my life as I draw closer to you.…

1:07:54Prayer is not a monologue. We aren’t leaving voicemails for God! We are being invited into the dialogue of the Godhead, the Trinity. We are being invited into interactive intercession with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Heaven is relational. Heaven is collaborative. God wants to be known. He wants to be known by you. Possibly, this is the highest longing in His heart. He desires to be known! We have this same need in our own lives. We want to be understood, we want to be seen and known. We have hearts that long to be unveiled in friendship… in love. Of course we do, we are made in His image. How is your life in God? What is He revealing, unveiling about Himself, in your life right now? This is the highest question, and apparently, it is the eternal question. Eternal reality surrounds His unveiling, and is completely captivated. He desires for you to know Him. I don’t know what it is exactly about saying that one statement, but it does something astounding in my heart. Instantly, I am caught up into His invitation for my life. He wants to be known…by me. God wants to be known by you! I. THERE IS AN OPEN DOOR A. When we were first born again, we were told the truth and then we had to come into to the truth. Though the truth was complete, Jesus had died to save all men on the cross, the truth was not good news for us until we believed and entered into it. There is a doctrine being aggressively preached today that states that the completeness of the cross is for all men whether they receive it or not. Essentially, that all men are saved whether they want to be or not. While the sun shines whether we are indoors or not, we only receive the warmth of it’s rays if we venture into it’s light. It must be received. Salvation must be received. B. When we were first born again, many of us had to remind ourselves of the truth. We had believed a lie for so long, had been alienated from God and His love for so long, that we had to be washed in the truth to remain in our belief. We let the Word of God wash over us… we were no longer held in our sins, we were no longer enemies of God, but we had been reconciled! Those days required that we learn truth, and come into the discipline of applying it. C. In the same way, many of us have spent so many years praying through voicemail that we have to be washed in truth to come into the experience of a better truth. We have been granted access. We have an open heaven. We are loved and chosen and desired. We are significant before the Lord because He says that we are. We are valuable because He declares us so! Matthew 13 [44] “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. [45] “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, [46] who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it. D. You are the treasure in the field. You are the pearl of great value. It was you. He came in search of you! He sold exchanged what He had for you! Philippians 2 [5] Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, [6] who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, [7] but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. [8] And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. E. He chose you over equality with God. He emptied Himself for you. If we believe these things… if we know these things, why would we think that He would withhold Himself from us? If He gave all for us, we can be confident that He desires us in fellowship. He loved us while we were sinners. There is a door standing open for you! It’s time to enter in to what He has for you. Revelation 4 [1] After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” John 14 [19] Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. [20] In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. [21] Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” F. He loves us and will manifest Himself to us. Let’s believe this for our lives and for each other. We are to be a people of revelation. The revealing of Jesus is to be our reality, our ongoing inheritance . John 15 [9] As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. G. You are the beloved of God. The truth, when received, changes everything about everything. The Lord desires you. Open your heart to this powerful truth. Let your heart believe. Let your heart receive the affections of God for your life. I promise you, this will change everything. II. HEAVEN IS RESPONSIVE A. When we read through the descriptions of heaven in the scriptures, one thing becomes certain: heaven is not stagnant. The atmosphere surrounding the throne is dynamic. There is ebb and flow, a crescendo and then a decline. There are divine unveilings and then divine restraint. There is time allotted for the heavenly gathering to respond. The response of the angels, and the living creatures and the elders and the saints are part of the dynamic. Heaven is responsive. Our God longs for interaction. It matters to Him that what He is revealing is received. He’s not satisfied to just expose Himself. There is a longing in the heart of God for intimacy. Likewise, God is not a peeping tom! We are made in His image, and so we have a longing for intimacy that cannot be satisfied by voyeurism. B. That’s the thing with counterfeits… it promises satisfaction without meeting the actual longing. That’s all the devil can do. We were made to long for intimacy with God and with each other. We were made for this. Pornography is the promise of satisfaction without interaction. It will not, it cannot meet the longing in your heart for intimacy. In the same way, saying prayers via voicemail, cannot satisfy the longing in your heart for intimacy. You were not made to say prayers. You were made to commune with God. And while the act may look the same, praying and communing can have very different results. I’m not trying to play a game of semantics. My desire is to awaken your heart to what will bring you the greatest joy, the greatest fulfillment and meet the longing that is there. Revelation 5 [1] Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals. [2] And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” [3] And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it, [4] and I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. [5] And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.” [6] And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. [7] And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne. [8] And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. [9] And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, [10] and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.” C. Our prayers, our dialogue is part of the reality of heaven. We are included into the dynamic of eternity even now. It’s easy to think that eternity is something that begins at our last breath, but for us who believe, knowing the Father is eternal life. And so this reality is now. Jesus is inviting us into His reality and He is promising to answer within ours. John 14 [13] Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. [14] If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it. D. This is almost too much for me to take in, but when I think back to some key moments in my life, there was always this invitation to ask the Lord to act. When I was overdosing on cocaine, the Lord asked me to call out to Him. He could have prevented my overdose, but He waited for me to ask. More recently, the Lord gave me an assignment for the Citrus Bowl and told me to ask for it. He could have saved me without partnership and He could have released favor for the bowl without me, but instead He invites us into partnership. E. This is altogether profound. He is not distant. He is not a far off God. He is cultivating you into a significant role before the throne. He is granting you influence in the heavens with Himself! Are you hearing this? III. SPIRITUAL ALERTNESS A. When Isaiah has his encounter with the Lord (Isaiah 6) the Lord sent him to proclaim this message: Isaiah 6 [8] And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” [9] And he said, “Go, and say to this people: “‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’ [10] Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy, and blind their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.” B. The message is about spiritual dullness. It’s about being unwilling to see, unwilling to hear and unwilling to understand. There can be an accusation in us, in the church, that God is withholding Himself from us. In the very last chapter of Acts, while imprisoned in Rome in his appeal to Ceasar, Paul quotes this very passage from Isaiah 6. Acts 28 [23] When they had appointed a day for him, they came to him at his lodging in greater numbers. From morning till evening he expounded to them, testifying to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets. [24] And some were convinced by what he said, but others disbelieved. [25] And disagreeing among themselves, they departed after Paul had made one statement: “The Holy Spirit was right in saying to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet: [26] “‘Go to this people, and say, “You will indeed hear but never understand, and you will indeed see but never perceive.” [27] For this people's heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’ [28] Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen.” C. The final message to us in the Book of Acts is about guarding our hearts from this dullness. We must cultivate a heavenly awareness. We must cultivate intimacy. It’s not a given. Being born again and being intimate with God is not the same thing, just as a wedding and marriage is not the same thing. IV. CO-LABORING AND BUILDING A LIFE TOGETHER 1 Corinthians 3 [9] For we are God's fellow workers… A. Everything in God is one big invitation. He’s constantly incorporating us into His plans and work. We are participants with the God of the universe. Isaiah 1 “Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. Ezekiel 4 [11] And water you shall drink by measure, the sixth part of a hin; from day to day you shall drink. [12] And you shall eat it as a barley cake, baking it in their sight on human dung.” [13] And the LORD said, “Thus shall the people of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them.” [14] Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I have never defiled myself. From my youth up till now I have never eaten what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has tainted meat come into my mouth.” [15] Then he said to me, “See, I assign to you cow's dung instead of human dung, on which you may prepare your bread.” B. This may be one of the strangest passages in the Bible, but it always touches me. Here’s Ezekiel, called by God and willing to do all sorts of things as a prophetic sign for the people of Israel for the Lord, but he draws the line at cooking over human excrement. And the Lord relents. God is the initiator of our callings, but he longs for input. Acts 9 [10] Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.” [11] And the Lord said to him, “Rise and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of Tarsus named Saul, for behold, he is praying, [12] and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight.” [13] But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem. [14] And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.” [15] But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel. [16] For I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.” [17] So Ananias departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” [18] And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized.. C. Here’s this other account of dialogue, this time between God and Ananias. We see Ananias interacting with the plan and yielding, and we see the result. These accounts should help us. We aren’t kingdom robots, but are valued and loved co-laborers. D. God is inviting you to reason with Him, to interact. This is your inheritance. No more voicemails. It’s time to enter into the divine dialogue. Prayer: Father, open my eyes to see and my ears to hear. Thank you for giving such a significant place in your heart. I make room for you to take your place in mine. I want to be intimate with you. Draw me closer.…

1:09:20There is more for us. We have only just scratched the surface of the Goodness, Mercy, Kindness, Patience, Love, and Faithfulness of our God. We have only just begun to know. We have only just recently discerned the glory of His character. Whether you’ve been saved for 40 years or were born again on this very day, we have all only just begun the journey into the heart of our God. It will take all eternity to peer into Him, but the Good News is this, we are on our way. Jesus said that eternal life was to know the Father, and to relate to Him. (John 17:3). Eternal life is relational. God desires to reveal Himself…to us! Pause. Wait. No, really...wait. God longs to reveal Himself to us. He desires for us to know Him. Our lives are meant to be an adventure into His heart, into His thoughts, into His purposes. This is utterly unexpected. Who could have imagined that the God who created the universe, who said, “Let there be light,” would long to be known, and known by us? This is profound. The nature of our God will never be stagnant. He will not stop unveiling, revealing. He will not hold Himself back from loving you. Let’s open our eyes again. There’s just so much more for you! I. VISIONS OF GOD Isaiah 6 [1] In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. [2] Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. [3] And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” A. When we preach the Gospel, there can be a tendency to preach it like a history lesson, instead of a reality, or THE reality. We preach the facts without necessarily demonstrating or manifesting the actuality of the Kingdom of Heaven. The Gospel is more than facts. I love the simplicity of the four spiritual laws printed out on tracts, but there is a reality that must manifest with the preaching. We are ambassadors. Me. You. We are ambassadors of a real kingdom, with a real King. B. The scriptures are full of the accounts of men and women who were taken into this other realm, this other reality: Heaven. This world is passing, fleeting, temporary. But there is a realm that will not fade. When we consider heaven, I’m afraid that we think of it in translucent terms, while we often consider this life to be opaque. This life just seems more real. But nothing could be further from the truth. Our God, sitting upon His throne, high and lifted up, is reality. Unshakeable. Certain. Reality. C. I want to obliterate every argument that comes against the plan of God in your life. You were made to behold the Lord in His glory. Jesus is making intercession for you to know Him and to see Him in His glory. The enemy would come to whisper, “Ah, but those men were special. They were holy. You are just… you.” How many times have we heard this whisper, this deception from the enemy, and given up? Instead of believing the Word, instead of believing the truth, we bought into the lie. In agreement with the intercession of Jesus for your life, I come against every lie of the enemy. I declare the truth to you. You were made to behold the Lord. I speak to your eyes to be opened to the realm of His majesty. You will see! Ezekiel 1 [1] In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the exiles by the Chebar canal, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. [2] On the fifth day of the month (it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin), [3] the word of the LORD came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the Chebar canal, and the hand of the LORD was upon him there. [4] As I looked, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, and a great cloud, with brightness around it, and fire flashing forth continually, and in the midst of the fire, as it were gleaming metal. [5] And from the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had a human likeness, [6] but each had four faces, and each of them had four wings. [7] Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf's foot. And they sparkled like burnished bronze. [8] Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. And the four had their faces and their wings thus: [9] their wings touched one another. Each one of them went straight forward, without turning as they went. [10] As for the likeness of their faces, each had a human face. The four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle. [11] Such were their faces. And their wings were spread out above. Each creature had two wings, each of which touched the wing of another, while two covered their bodies. [12] And each went straight forward. Wherever the spirit would go, they went, without turning as they went. [13] As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches moving to and fro among the living creatures. And the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. [14] And the living creatures darted to and fro, like the appearance of a flash of lightning. [15] Now as I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, one for each of the four of them. [16] As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like the gleaming of beryl. And the four had the same likeness, their appearance and construction being as it were a wheel within a wheel. [17] When they went, they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went. [18] And their rims were tall and awesome, and the rims of all four were full of eyes all around. [19] And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose. [20] Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, and the wheels rose along with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. [21] When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those rose from the earth, the wheels rose along with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. [22] Over the heads of the living creatures there was the likeness of an expanse, shining like awe-inspiring crystal, spread out above their heads. [23] And under the expanse their wings were stretched out straight, one toward another. And each creature had two wings covering its body. [24] And when they went, I heard the sound of their wings like the sound of many waters, like the sound of the Almighty, a sound of tumult like the sound of an army. When they stood still, they let down their wings. [25] And there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads. When they stood still, they let down their wings. [26] And above the expanse over their heads there was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like sapphire; and seated above the likeness of a throne was a likeness with a human appearance. [27] And upward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were gleaming metal, like the appearance of fire enclosed all around. And downward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him. [28] Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of one speaking. Revelation 4 [1] After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” [2] At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne. [3] And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian, and around the throne was a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald. [4] Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, clothed in white garments, with golden crowns on their heads. [5] From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings and peals of thunder, and before the throne were burning seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God, [6] and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal. And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind: [7] the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight. [8] And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!” [9] And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, [10] the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, [11] “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.” Daniel 7 9 …“As I looked, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames; its wheels were burning fire. 10 A stream of fire issued and came out from before him; a thousand thousands served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the court sat in judgment, and the books were opened. D. We have lost the discipline of meditation, and out of fear that we are becoming eastern in our faith, we are missing out! Moses instructed the people to meditate day and night on the Word of God. David, spending long hours in the tabernacle of 24/7 prayer would write his songs to the Lord with instructions to the musicians and priests to read the line but then to “Selah,” pause and calmly think about the truth that was just read. E. Granted, we live in a fast-food culture. Everything is about get it now, get it quick. But real relating, real seeing, real intimacy, does not work like that. Intimacy is slow. It’s cultivated. We need to come back into the discipline of meditation, of thinking and picturing what we are reading. F. I’ve been helping my daughter Juniah; write a report for school about Joan of Arc. We’re covering her life and calling, her kidnapping and trial and finally, her death and eventual sainthood. In the process of putting together this report, I’ve been thinking about how heavenly insight works. Joan heard voices and believed that she was being called upon by God to help the French. She got an audience with the king of France, he believed her. Suddenly her vision became his. The King made way for her vision to be presented to the armies of France, and they believed. Suddenly her vision became the vision of the nation. My point is this: vision can be shared. Vision can be caught. G. When we read the scriptures, it’s so easy to read them as a history of letters. But their life comes to us when we read them as invitations. When we study these accounts, when you meditate on them, we are brought into their reality. Isaiah’s vision becomes ours. Ezekiel’s vision becomes ours. These scriptures become more than our inheritance, they become our experience. And that this will change everything. II. BEHOLDING IS BECOMING Isaiah 42 [8] I am the LORD; that is my name; my glory I give to no other… A. How many times have you heard this verse preached? The way I’ve often heard this scripture unpacked is that our God is somehow withholding Himself, withholding His nature. Nothing could be further from the truth. A river of fire proceeds from the throne. There are lightnings and thunders from His heart. B. He’s not withholding something of His nature. Rather, He is declaring something about ours. We are not made to be a source of glory. There is nothing in the heart of man that can produce glory. We can’t produce it, but we can behold it. We can reflect it. And so, we can participate in it. 2 Corinthians 3 [18] And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. C. How are we transformed? There is only one way. We must behold the glory of the Lord. How can we be like Him? There is only one way. We have to behold Him in His glory, in His reality. This is the high priestly prayer of Jesus for our lives. Why does He give His life in intercession for you to see? Because this is the only way. You absolutely have to see Him. He’s not dead on the cross anymore! He’s has been resurrected from the dead! And that’s not all! He has ascended to His Father, and your Father. He went through the clouds, while in His body, with 500 eyewitnesses! He has ascended. He received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, and has poured Him out! Bless God, that little upper room was transformed with fire from the altar on Pentecost. D. Peter stands up to give an account to a baffled and mocking Jerusalem that morning. And what does he declare? Not a history lesson! By no means, he declares the reality of heaven. How does He have insight? How does he know the dynamic of heaven? He’s a fisherman. He’s marred. You know his story. How does he know? Acts 2 [32] This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses. [33] Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. E. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is not optional. He doesn’t come to fill us to add a little spice to our meetings. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is about access to the reality of heaven. Sin separated man from God. But it was more than that. Sin caused a separation of realities. Eden, a real location in the earth, was where man and God met together in the cool of a garden. The earth was created for the purpose of communion, heaven and earth in communion. Sin separated these realities. Instead of interaction there was estrangement and separation. But Jesus has come to redeem us! He has come to reconcile not just the individual man to God, but the realms of heaven and earth. F. When the Holy Spirit is poured out in that little upper room, tongues of fire appeared on each of them, and Peter begins to declare the events of Jesus’ life while He was on the earth, AND the events of His ministry in the heavens. Heaven and earth had been reconciled. Peter could behold Jesus in His glory while positioned in the middle of a Jerusalem crowd. Peter could see heaven. And through the baptism of the Holy Spirit, so can we! Prayer: Father, I believe that I am meant to behold you. I believe that I was meant to see Jesus in all of Hos glory. Pour out your Spirit in my life. Fill me with the Baptism of your love. Reconcile the reality of heaven and earth in my life. No more separation! I desire to see you and know you as you are.…

1:10:45There is more. Much more. And there is a certain amount of pain in believing it…because some of us have grown weary. Some of us have revival fatigue. We’ve believed. We’ve contended. We’ve warred. And nothing much has shifted. Or if it has, we’ve forgotten where we started anyway. We’re tired and we are afraid to believe again. We want to be found faithful, and it’s easier to be steady when we aren’t expecting much. After all, it’s near impossible to be consistent when we’re nursing our disappointment. But isn’t this “steadiness” too costly? After all, our steadiness has cost us our faith, it’s cost us our hope. We’ve given up longing for heaven for a tiny, little slice of earth. This “steadiness” is too costly! We need to come back into the faith and believe again. There is more. Much more. This is an invitation. Don’t be afraid. He will answer. Let your heart long again for what only He can give. He will most surely answer the longing in our hearts. I. REALITY Isaiah 6 [1] In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. A. I’m certain that we can only put this life into focus when we have vision of heaven, the ultimate reality. We cannot understand the earth until we understand the dynamic of heaven. The Lord is seated on a throne, high and lifted up. The train of His robe fills the temple. He’s not the ruler of heaven only… He has conquered every domain and power and principality! His robe fills the temple. Meditate on this! B. Isaiah was not alone in seeing God’s throne. Almost everyone in the Bible who had a vision of heaven, was taken to heaven, or wrote about heaven spoke of God’s throne. The prophet Michaiah saw God’s throne ( 1 Kings 22:19 ), Job saw God’s throne ( Job 26:9 ), David saw God’s throne ( Psalms 9:4 and Psalms 9:7 ; Psalms 11:4 ), the Sons of Korah saw God’s throne ( Psalms 45:6; Ps 47:8 ), Ethan the Ezrahite saw God’s throne ( Psalms 89:14 ), Jeremiah saw God’s throne ( Lamentations 5:19 ), Ezekiel saw God’s throne ( Ezekiel 1:26; Ez 10:1 ), Daniel saw God’s throne ( Daniel 7:9 ), and the Apostle John saw God’s throne ( Revelation 4:1-11 ). In fact, the book of Revelation may as well be called “the book of God’s throne,” because God’s throne is specifically mentioned more than 35 times in that book! Colossians 2 [15] He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him. C. Our God is not powerless. He’s not tame! He’s a warrior King. The train of His robe fills the temple. II. BURNING ONES Isaiah 6 [2] Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. [3] And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” A. Seraphim literally translates to “burning ones.” These burning creatures are nearest the throne and they cry out day and night. In the book of revelation, John sees these burning ones and they are covered with eyes all around and day and night they never cease to cry out to one another, “Holy, holy, holy.” (Revelation 4:6-9). B. They are responding to the revelation of the Lord. They are responding and calling out to one another. They are not just caught up into their own realm of glory. But as the behold the Lord, they cry out to each other. There is a communion in the Godhead between the persons of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit that we have not comprehended. And there is a communion in heaven, with the Godhead and with one another that we are being invited into. The revealing of the glory of God spills over into communion between all the parties. They call out to one another. III. HEAVEN IS RESPONSIVE [4] And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. A. The atmosphere of heaven is dynamic. The heart of our God is dynamic. There is nothing stagnant about Him. There is nothing containable about His love. Revelation chapter 4, describes lightning and rumblings proceeding from the throne. There is sound and light coming from His heart. B. When the seraphim call to one another, the thresholds of heaven shake! What’s that?? The voices of these burning creatures carries weight. Things shift as they release revelation of the holiness of God. There is nothing stagnant about our God. There is nothing boring about our God. C. Communion is more than just intimacy with Christ… it involves a calling out to one-another-ness. We were made to gaze upon the Lord and we were made to call out to one another. We must be diligent about both to cultivate the Kingdom within our own hearts. You were meant to see Him and to know Him as He really is. We so easily forget. Jesus has come down, so that we can go up. John 17 [24] Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. [25] O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. [26] I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.” Ephesians 2 [4] But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, [5] even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—[6] and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, [7] so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. D. You need to see! We need to have our eyes opened and our ears opened. We have become so dull that we are dull. We don’t see and we don’t hear. But Jesus has and is praying for us. He has a desire… He has inquired of the Father, and the Father will answer Him. Don’t you see you should have every confidence that the Lord will answer this longing in you. Stop fighting it. Stop dulling yourself. Jesus is praying for you to see. So see! E. Why do the seraphim burn? Because they are in proximity to The All Consuming Fire. They claim no revelation, no wisdom of their own. They are receiving and responding. How can we burn for God? Come closer and higher. Receive and respond. Throw away your matches and tinder. Come closer and higher. You don’t need that stuff. Just come closer and higher to His heart. Our God is an all consuming fire. IV. SEEING OURSELVES [5] And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!” A. Isaiah has been a prophet to Israel for 5 full chapters before he has this encounter with the Lord. He’s assessed the state of the nation, and called her back to repentance. He has stood with the Lord against the accusations of the nation. He has been faithful in his assignment. B. And then he encounters the Lord. C. In the midst of his ministry assignment, Isaiah encounters the Lord. The encounter is terrifying. For the first time, Isaiah sees himself as part of his generation. He’s no longer a bystander… And this is priestliness: to indentify with our generation. We aren’t outside it, condemning it. We are part of it, and so we make intercession and plead for mercy. D. Our high priest, Jesus, came into time and space in full identification with his generation. For the first time Isaiah sees himself. Seeing ourselves is always incredibly painful, isn’t it? I think the biggest reason we don’t want to see the Lord is not so much to do with Him, as it has to do with not wanting to be confronted with our true selves. In the light, we are revealed. John 3 [19] And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. [20] For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. [21] But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.” V. TOUCHED WITH FIRE Isaiah 6 [6] Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. [7] And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.” A. Isaiah is no longer a spectator of heaven’s reality… he’s a full participant. Jesus is not inviting you to watch. He’s inviting you to participate. We need to interact with the reality of heaven. It’s imperative that we go higher and come closer. B. You need fire. And there is only one place to get it. Where does it come from? Fire comes from the altar of the Lord. You were made to burn. You were made for fire. This is not optional. You will not fulfill your assignment, even in your faithfulness, without fire. You cannot bring the dimension of heaven to your assignment, your ministry, your field, without fire from heaven’s altar! VI. OVERHEARING THE DIALOGUE OF HEAVEN [8] And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” [9] And he said, “Go…” A. Intercession is a conversation… it’s a dialogue. Genesis 18 17 The Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, 18 seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 19 For I have chosen him, that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice, so that the Lord may bring to Abraham what he has promised him.” … 23 Then Abraham drew near and said, “Will you indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 24 Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city. Will you then sweep away the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous who are in it? 25 Far be it from you to do such a thing, to put the righteous to death with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that from you! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do what is just?” 26 And the Lord said, “If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake.” 27 Abraham answered and said, “Behold, I have undertaken to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes. 28 Suppose five of the fifty righteous are lacking. Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five?” And he said, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.” 29 Again he spoke to him and said, “Suppose forty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of forty I will not do it.” 30 Then he said, “Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak. Suppose thirty are found there.” He answered, “I will not do it, if I find thirty there.” 31 He said, “Behold, I have undertaken to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of twenty I will not destroy it.” 32 Then he said, “Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again but this once. Suppose ten are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of ten I will not destroy it.” 33 And the Lord went his way, when he had finished speaking to Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place. B. This is what the Lord is inviting you into. Come closer and come higher. He will let you in on His conversations! The glory of what I am saying. There is something so much better than asking God to bless our thing. Oh, to hear what He is saying…to hear what is on His heart. This is our inheritance. Psalm 2 [7] I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you. [8] Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. Hebrews 7 25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. C. May we hear! And may our response be, “Send me.”…

1:14:39We have been grafted into the faith. The story of God unfolds in every lifetime…He has orchestrated a redemption, and we have a place in that continuum. We have a role in the story of God redeeming the earth. Israel is about God making a choice. Israel is about God making a covenant. The issue of Israel is the very issue of God. I. ISRAEL IS THE CENTER PIECE Matthew 24 15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, 18 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. A. As we look into the scriptures, it’s so important that we always look for the context for fulfillment. During the 7 year tribulation, specifically at the 3.5 year check point the antichrist be revealed and set himself in the Temple (Jerusalem) and declare himself to be God. The Jerusalem Temple will be the site of the abomination of desolation. The good news is that we won’t have to guess anymore! Matthew 24 32 “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates. 34 Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. B. Jesus wants us to know the times and seasons. He points to the prophetic picture of Israel as the interpretive key. Our boss is probably not the antichrist! Again, America is not the center of the story. Israel is the very issue of God being God. He has chosen a people and made a covenant. This is the issue of His name. Jeremiah 24 3 And the Lord said to me, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” I said, “Figs, the good figs very good, and the bad figs very bad, so bad that they cannot be eaten.” 4 Then the word of the Lord came to me: … 6 I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land. I will build them up, and not tear them down; I will plant them, and not uproot them. 7 I will give them a heart to know that I am the Lord, and they shall be my people and I will be their God, for they shall return to me with their whole heart. C. The purpose of God is eternally linked to His choice and salvation of Israel. The purpose of God must be fulfilled…His Word must come to pass. Romans 11 29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. D. To comprehend the end, we have to go back to the beginning. The end was declared in the very beginning, and every part will be fulfilled. Every detail will come to pass just as the Lord declared it. II. THE BEGINNING A. Genesis 1 — six days of creation … man being the crown jewel of all creation. Genesis 2 — God gives man clear boundaries. Gen. 3 — Man yields to Satan’s temptation … violates God’s clear command. Immediately when this occurs the Bible says: (1) “Their eyes were opened” and (2) “They hid themselves from God.” [“Eyes being opened” means that they were suddenly aware of things God never intended them to be aware of. They became distracted. Prior to their act of disobedience they were single-minded – possessed “doves eyes” – once distracted they became ashamed and hid from God’s presence. B. Even in this first account, the end-time drama is unfolded. God releases His strategy to redeem man at the very beginning. Salvation is not an afterthought. The details have been decided upon from the very beginning. Genesis 3 15 And I (The Father) will put enmity (definition: extreme ill will or hatred that exists between enemies) between you (Satan) and the woman (Israel), and between your seed (the Antichrist) and her (Israel) Seed (Jesus); He (Jesus) shall bruise your head (the Cross), and you (Satan) shall bruise His (Jesus) heel. C. This is a remarkable statement – in fact – it’s actually a prophetic word that has critical end-time implications. It’s a companion verse to Revelation 12. Here’s the interesting point: from the very moment man stepped over the line in disobedience – God began to formulate a plan to repair the damage. This was divine damage control at its finest. D. Jesus bruising Satan’s head started at the cross (1 Cor. 2:7-8) and will find its ultimate fulfillment at the conclusion of the Millennial Kingdom (Rev. 20:10). III. GOD MAKES A COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM A. Genesis 12:1-3, biblical scholars have stated, is one of the great transitional verses in scripture. Why? After all the damage that was done in the garden and the ground that was lost – we now see God Himself initiating a plan to repair the damage. This verse describes both the methodology and the stated intentions of God to (1) repair the fall and (2) redeem mankind. This is really great news for mankind. Genesis 12 1Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you. 2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” B. Malcolm Hedding (President of International Christian Embassy Jerusalem) – “A Jew is simply a Gentile whom God has set apart for the purpose of world redemption. C. Remember God prophesied in Gen. 3:15 that the “Seed of the woman” would ultimately serve as Satan’s undoing and bring final judgment to the “serpent.” In order for that to happen their had to be a starting point. Israel’s starting point began when God appeared to a man named Abram (“the father is exalted” – later changed to Abraham – “the father of a multitude”) and called him to father a great nation that would touch the ends of the earth. At least 179 Jews and persons of half- or three-quarters-Jewish ancestry have been awarded the Nobel Prize,1 accounting for 22% of all individual recipients worldwide between 1901 and 2009, and constituting 36% of all US recipients during the same period. · The invention of local anesthesia by Carl Koller and the discovery of Novocaine by Alfred Einhorn. · The isolation and development of penicillin by Sir Ernst Chain. · The invention of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) by Charles Gerhardt. · The invention of cancer chemotherapy by Louis Goodman, Alfred Gilman, and Sidney Farber · The development of AZT, protease inhibitors, and other drugs used in the treatment of AIDS by Jerome Horwitz, Samuel Broder, and Irving Sigal. · The breaking of the genetic code by Marshall Nirenberg. · The invention of the sonogram by Robert Rines. · The co-invention of LASIK eye surgery by Samuel Blum (together with Rangaswamy Srinivasan+ and James Wynne+). · The invention of the Heimlich Maneuver by Henry Heimlich. · The co-invention of the basic technique used worldwide for the controlled chlorination of drinking water supplies by Abel Wolman. The population of the world is a little under 7 billion people. Of these, about 0.2% (two tenths of one percent) are Jewish. Genesis 15 9So He said to him, “Bring Me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.” 10Then he brought all these to Him and cut them in two, down the middle, and placed each piece opposite the other; … 11And when the vultures came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away. 12Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram … D. The vultures here are a prophetic picture of the difficulty and harassment that Israel could expect to deal with as long as she was God’s chosen vessel to bring salvation to a fallen world. The Pharaoh of Egypt’s attempted genocide left him a destroyed nation and a dead heir to his throne. Haman’s murderous decree to slaughter all the Jews living in Persia earned him the very gallows that he had hoped to murder an innocent Jewish man named Mordecai. Throughout Israel’s 4,000 year history many have arrived on the seen with the intention of utterly destroying the Jewish people and had it not been for God’s promise to preserve this people they would have disappeared many centuries ago. God is faithful to perform His Word. 7And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. (Genesis 17:7 – Also see Genesis 17:8; Jeremiah 32:40; Ezekiel 37:26-28) IV. GOD MAKES A COVENANT WITH THE LAND A. Jerusalem is as much in the heart of God as the Jewish people. He will come and reconcile the very land. Zechariah 8 2 I am zealous for Zion with great zeal; with great fervor (burning desire) I am zealous for her… Isaiah 62 4 You shall no more be termed Forsaken,and your land shall no more be termed Desolate, but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her, and your land Married; for the Lord delights in you,and your land shall be married.5 For as a young man marries a young woman,so shall your sons marry you,and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,so shall your God rejoice over you. B. The centerpiece of God’s eternal purpose is for Jesus to come back to fully establish His Kingdom rule over all the earth as He joins the heavenly and earthly realms together (Eph 1:9). He will come and marry the land. He will come and rejoice over the land. C. Scripture is clear when the Messiah reigns – he will reign from the City of David – Jerusalem, the Messianic Kingdom/Millennial reign will be from Jerusalem. Matthew 23 37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not! 38 See, your house is left to you desolate. 39 For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’” D. Because Jesus has committed himself to returning as King of the Jews to rule the earth from Jerusalem, Satan has committed himself to destroying the nation of Israel and the city of Jerusalem. If Satan can annihilate the Jews, or keep them offended at Jesus he can prove God a liar and ensure his own survival. Satan is not cast into prison until after the battle for Jerusalem is won and under Jesus’ leadership (Rev. 19:11-20) Isaiah 49 14 But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me;my Lord has forgotten me.” 15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child,that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?Even these may forget,yet I will not forget you.16 Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;your walls are continually before me. V. HERESY AND REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY A. Most Believers in the western church have been influenced to minimize Israel’s redemptive role by buying into a false teaching know as “Replacement Theology.” B. REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY: This view teaches that because of Israel’s refusal to walk in God’s call and redemptive purposes (i.e. rejection of their Messiah) – God decided to cancel all the covenants and promises and has transferred those over to the (predominately) Gentile Church. Thus the Church has effectively replaced Israel and become the beneficiary of all her promises and blessings. C. This false doctrine has done much harm as it either minimizes or in some cases negates Israel’s key redemptive role assignment. The attempt to spiritualize scriptures and transfer the Jewish covenants to a predominately Gentile Church has been disastrous and brought great division to the Body of Christ. The Apostle Paul was adamant that God had not replace Israel. Romans 11:1-2 I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! … God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. D. Paul’s cry for the Gentile Church to acknowledge Israel’s future destiny in God was rooted in strong biblical fact not just Paul’s religious or personal sentiment for the Jewish people. The word “Israel” is mentioned 2567 times in scripture. With one debatable exception–everywhere that term is mentioned it is referring to the Jewish people. E. Replacement Theology does violence to: (1) Word of God (2) the Jewish people (3) Gentile believers (4) the character of God. Romans 11 11 I (Paul) say then, have they (Jewish people) stumbled that they should fall (the inference here is the false accusation that the Jewish people because of past failures have been spiritually disqualified)? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles. 12Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness. 13For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, 14if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them. 15For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? F. Our role, our reconciliation is to provoke Israel to jealousy. Our charismatica will never provoke them to jealousy. Our hot dog rallies will never provoke Israel to jealousy. Our sentimental services will never awaken a Nation. I wonder what it will take? I wonder what kind of demonstration the church must make to provoke Israel to jealousy? VI. ISRAEL’S END TIME CRISIS A. Israel’s future is sobering. There has never been a time, and never will be again, of such distress on the nation. Over and over again, this is prophesied. Over and over again, this is decreed. Jeremiah 30 5“For thus says the Lord: ‘We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. 6 Ask now, and see whether a man is ever in labor with child? So why do I see every man with his hands on his loins like a woman in labor and all faces turned pale. 7 Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it; and it is the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it (to be “saved out” is not the same reality of being “saved from”). B. The prophetic church…the church that stands in agreement with God’s end-time purpose for Israel, will also have trouble. This will be the demonstration required to provoke a people to their God. Revelation 12 1Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman (Israel) clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars (Gen. 37:9). 2Then being with child (Jesus) …3And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon (Satan) … And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child (Jesus) as soon as it was born (Herod’s wicked decree). 5She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron (Ps. 2). And her Child was caught up to God and His throne (Satan bruises Jesus’ heel – crucifixion – Jesus bruises Satan’s head – resurrection) — (2,000 year time gap) — 6Then the woman (Jewish remnant) fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days (this number always represents the period from the Abomination of Desolation to the rapture of the Church)… 15So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16But the earth helped the woman…17And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, (the church) who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. C. God prophetically sets the stage for a 6,000-year drama that will eventually draw the full attention of every human alive on the planet. There will be no innocent bystanders in this drama. Every single person will declare their allegiance, will have a strategic role to play, and will be fully engaged in either promoting righteousness or wickedness. VII. 5 KEY EVENTS A. Five of the most significant, prophetic, political events happen suddenly in the last 2,000 years. Four of five of these events I have listed on the handout are happening right now in this generation. For 2,000 years, zero of five of these events happened. Then suddenly in one generation, four of the five events come to pass; undoubtedly, the fifth one will come to pass as well. FIRST AND SECOND EVENTS: REBIRTH OF ISRAEL AND RECAPTURING OF JERUSALEM The first event is the rebirth of the nation of Israel (May 15, 1948). Event number two is the recapturing of Jerusalem during the Six Day War (June, 1967). For the Jews to have control of the city of Jerusalem is a critical part of prophecy because a lot of the Old Testament prophets said the Jews had to be in the city, and that they would be surrounded by the nations. One of the famous prophecies is that the nations of the world would surround the city of Jerusalem to wipe out the Jews. The Jews have to be in Jerusalem to be surrounded by the nations. THIRD EVENT: JERUSALEM WILL BE THE CENTER OF WORLD CONTROVERSY The third event is that Jerusalem would be at the center of world controversy (Zech. 12:1-3; 14:1-3). In 70 AD when they were disbanded, Jerusalem became a very second-class city. In 1850 or 1860, Mark Twain visited Jerusalem and wrote a famous report, which is referred to often in commentaries. He said that Jerusalem was beaten down, dirty, and poor; it was a third-world city. There was very little population in the city. However, the prophets said that the city of Jerusalem would be the number one city; it would be the greatest source of controversy, and Israel would be in the news. There is no city in the news like Jerusalem. For 2,000 years, you could not get any news report on Jerusalem. Suddenly, Jerusalem is in the center of world controversy. You cannot just be the number one most controversial city on the earth because you choose it to be. Who would choose it? But, you cannot make the nations of the world be galvanized in their thinking and concern about Jerusalem—a particularly small city that for over 2,000 years had almost no population in it. There was no economic base; nothing was in the city that was of interest to most people except for some holy sites. FOURTH EVENT: ESTABLISHMENT OF THE EUROPEAN UNION The fourth significant political event that must happen is the establishment of the European Union in the same territory as the ancient Roman Empire. The book of Daniel is clear about the Roman Empire. But from 500 to 1,000 years, the Roman Empire existed (depending upon how you defined it). What Daniel said was the Roman Empire was going to go away, which was basically the Mediterranean area and Europe. In the generation that the Messiah would come, the Roman Empire would come together as an empire. They would be gathered together as a unified empire. Beloved, that is happening right now as we are talking. The next thing that has to happen is that an international leader (the Antichrist) will be in the unique position to establish a peace treaty with Israel and the Middle East in order to bring world peace. Four of these five events have occurred, so Europe will soon be unified. Thus, the most significant, political, prophetic events in the last 2,000 years are occurring in this generation. FIFTH EVENT: EUROPE WILL SOON BE UNIFIED The fifth one: Europe will be unified, and that is the one we are waiting for. These five events are very hard to imagine happening, especially after we experienced almost 2,000 years of a national political drought. The Roman Empire has not existed; they have tried to conquer Europe for 2,000 to 1,500 years. They have tried to revive the Roman Empire. No leader has ever been able to pull it off. VIII. AGREEING WITH HEAVEN NOW A. So now what? How do we stand with Israel? How do we love her? How do we provoke her? Is this for a special, elite kind of Christian? By no means is this for the elite… Standing with Israel is for all of us who think upon the Lord. We are simply called to love what He loves. We are called to cooperate with Him. Isaiah 62 6 On your walls, O Jerusalem,I have set watchmen;all the day and all the nightthey shall never be silent.You who put the Lord in remembrance,take no rest,7 and give him no restuntil he establishes Jerusalemand makes it a praise in the earth. B. What are we to pray? Psalm 122:6-9 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “may they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, prosperity within your palaces.” For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, “Peace be within you.” Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek your good. C. Spiritual Peace This is the ultimate goal of our prayers. (Romans 5:1).We must understand that none in Israel will find true and lasting peace until they turn to Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Our greatest prayer should be for the spiritual peace of the nation of Israel knowing that they are beloved because of the fathers (Rom 11:28) yet are right now, enemies for our sake. D. Political Peace We should also pray for peace in the political arena. Ultimate political peace will only come when Jesus is the political leader of Israel in the Millennial Kingdom. For the time being, we should pray for the safety of believers from the threat of terrorism and the protection of the people from political aggressors who are seeking to “wipe them off the face of the earth.” We do not promote the political agenda of secular politicians but we do not agree with politics that seeks to destroy the Jewish nation.…

1:11:57I. THE RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD Luke 14 13But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, 14and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous." Acts 2 31Seeing what was ahead, he (David) spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to the grave, nor did his body see decay. 32God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact. 33Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear. Gospel faith is that Jesus was resurrected from the dead and the hope we are called into is that we too will be raised with Him. Acts 4 They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead. Acts 24 14However, I admit that I worship the God of our fathers as a follower of the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that agrees with the Law and that is written in the Prophets, 15and I have the same hope in God as these men, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked. 16So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man. It is “safe” to live wholeheartedly for another age. This is the hope. This is the only way we are free enough to lay down our lives. We lay them down in the knowledge of picking them up again in the age to come. Philippians 3 7But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. 10I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. 1 Corinthians 15 19If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men. 20But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. Our hope is in the age to come. We are free to live for another age because of the proof that Jesus was raised from the dead. This is our hope. This is our freedom. This in the foundation of the Gospel. This understanding provides the grace we need to walk out the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) and the 50 commands of Christ. Hebrews 6 1Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death,[a] and of faith in God, 2instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3And God permitting, we will do so. II. THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM: JESUS’ 1,000-YEAR REIGN ON EARTH Revelation 20 4 I saw thrones, and they (saints) sat on them...They lived and reigned with Christ for 1000 years...6 They shall reign with Him 1000 years. (Rev. 20:4-6) Jesus as King of Kings will personally govern a worldwide Kingdom from Jerusalem. At this time the Kingdom of God will be openly manifest worldwide affecting every sphere of life (political, social, agricultural, economic, spiritual, educational, law enforcement, family, media, arts, technology, athletics, environment, social institutions, etc.). The result will be a 1,000-year period of unprecedented blessing for the whole earth as Jesus establishes righteousness and prosperity, and restores the agriculture, atmosphere, and animal life to some of the conditions that were seen in the Garden of Eden (Rev. 20:1-6; Isa. 2:1-4; 9:6-9; 11:1-16; 51:1-8; 60-62; 65:17-25; Ps. 2:6-12; 110:1-7; Deut. 8; 28; Mt. 5:5; 6:10; 17:11; 19:28; 28:19; Acts 1:6; 3:21). This period of blessing will be initiated by Jesus' Second Coming. The centerpiece of God’s purpose: bringing heaven and earth together: Ephesians 1 9 Having made known to us the mystery (plan) of His will...10 that He might gather together in one ALL things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth. The centerpiece of God’s eternal purpose is for Jesus to come back to establish His Kingdom over all the earth as He joins the heavenly and earthly realms together. God’s purpose has always been for His people to live together with Him in this way. Revelation 21 3 Behold, the Tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them... Heaven speaks of the spiritual realm where God’s presence is openly manifest. Earth speaks of the physical realm where human process, emotions and physical sensation reach full expression. III. THE FOUR FOUNDATIONAL ASPECTS OF THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM The Father gave all authority to Jesus and then gave Jesus to the Church. The Church is God’s chosen vehicle to release His fullness throughout the earth for eternity. 22 He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. There are four foundational aspects of Jesus’ Kingdom necessary for the fullness of God to be experienced on earth. These four aspects of the Millennial Kingdom will converge together as they affect every sphere of life. Biblical hope and vision include all four aspects together. The New Jerusalem coming down to earth brings the supernatural heavenly dimension to the Millennial Kingdom. It will include the supernatural aspects as seen in our resurrected body. The Garden of Eden being restored brings a physical paradise aspect to the Millennial Kingdom with a renewed environment (agriculture, animals, atmosphere, etc.) with physical pleasures. The Kingdom of David brings the political social dimension (social institutions, economic, educational, family, media, arts, technology, etc.). Righteousness and justice will be established in every sphere of life as every national government on earth is brought under Jesus’ authority. The House of Prayer includes the Millennial Temple with the Holy of Holies as the center of the worldwide worship and prayer movement. This brings an intimate relational aspect to the Millennial Kingdom as we encounter God and partner with Him in ruling through intercession. IV. THE FAITHFUL SAINTS WILL BE WITH JESUS AS HE RETURNS TO EARTH Revelation 19 7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready." 8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints...11 Behold, a white horse. And He (Jesus) who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war...14 The armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. After this battle, Jesus will do many historically important things that include replacing all the governments of the earth with righteous leaders (Mt. 25:31-32). The new government will consist of two groups of people. First, those with resurrected bodies who are the faithful from all redemptive history. These people will have the greatest measure of authority. Second, those with natural bodies who will be the recently converted survivors of the Great Tribulation. These will function under the authority of those with resurrected bodies. Jesus will be the King over all the other kings in the Millennium (Rev. 19:16). In other words, Jesus will govern a worldwide Kingdom from Jerusalem in partnership with two sets of kings: the Millennial kings with non-resurrected bodies, and the Resurrected kings (saints). Together they will establish a biblically based, social order that affects every sphere of life. Revelation 1 5 Jesus...the ruler over the kings of the earth (Millennial kings). To Him who loved us...6 and has made us (resurrected saints) kings and priests to His God and Father. The saints with resurrected bodies who are counted worthy (considered faithful) during their life on earth will be made kings in the age-to-come (Rev. 2:26-27; 3:21; 5:10; 20:4-6; 22:5; Mt. 19:28; 20:21- 23; 25:23; Lk. 19:17-19; 22:29-30; 1 Cor. 6:2-3; 2 Tim. 2:12; Rom 8:17). He who overcomes...I will give power over nations, 27 he shall rule them... (Rev. 2:26-27) To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My Throne... (Rev. 3:21) They (saints) shall see His (God’s) face... 5 They shall reign forever and ever. (Rev. 22:4-5) The kingdoms under the whole heaven shall be given to the saints... (Dan. 7:27) As priests, the saints will worship, intercede and communicate the knowledge of God to others i.e., non- resurrected people on the Millennial earth and saints and angels in the New Jerusalem. As kings, the saints will reign (rule) with judicial responsibility and authority. This role involves authority to evaluate the past (judging) and to determine action plans for the future for the people and areas that they are over. The ruling saints will appoint people into positions in the infrastructure that are within their sphere of Kingdom responsibility. This will include training and managing the people who are appointed. The saints will judge angels (1 Cor. 6:2). 2 Do you not know the saints will judge the world?...the world will be judged by you...3 Do you not know that we shall judge (evaluate) angels? (1 Cor. 6:2-3) 28 Jesus said to them, "Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration (re-birth of the earth beginning in Millennium), when the Son of Man sits on the Throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. " (Mt. 19:28) 29 I bestow upon you a kingdom...30 that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. (Lk. 22:29-30) 23 His Lord said, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.' (Mt. 25:23) 17 He said to him, 'Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.' 18 And the second came, saying, 'Master, your mina has earned five minas.' 19 Likewise he said to him, 'You also be over five cities.' (Lk. 19:17-19) 1 A King (Jesus) will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule with justice. (Isa. 32:1) V. MANY ARE CALLED BUT ONLY A FEW ARE CHOSEN TO RULE WITH JESUS The primary premise is that only a small percent of the redeemed from history will rule with the Lord in Millennial Kingdom. Jesus reveals an important principle of how He evaluates and chooses people. This principle is applied in different ways, including the process of our salvation as well as the way the saints are rewarded. Matthew 22 14 For many are called (invited), but few are chosen (commissioned to reign). Many people are called or invited to inherit great things, from salvation to their reward after salvation. However, only a few are chosen or esteemed by God as responsive enough to receive the blessing that they are being offered by God. This applies to receiving salvation as well as to our rewards after salvation is received. In this teaching, we are focusing on being chosen or esteemed by God as faithful or worthy to be commissioned to rule with Jesus when He returns. Only a few will have a sufficient maturity in faithfulness to share in the Millennial government. Let the words “many” and “few” resound in our being knowing how important they are. Our lives must be evaluated as having been proven in meekness and faithfulness (follow through) in our quest to be obedient under the varied pressures of opportunity, temptation and resistance. Only overcomers who walked in faithfulness will rule in the Millennium. The only ones chosen or commissioned are the faithful who are proven and consistent in meek obedience under the varied pressures of opportunity, temptation, and resistance. Matthew 25 14 For the kingdom...is like a Man traveling to a far country, who called his servants and delivered his goods to them. 15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one...19 After a long time the Lord came and settled accounts with them. 20 So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, 'Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents...' 21 "His lord said, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord.' We have each received talents or abilities from God. Our most valuable talents are the components of our inner man, including our mind and emotions. We must seek to multiply righteousness, peace and joy in them. God also measures the quality (not the size) of our impact on others by how much righteousness, peace and joy that we helped to multiply in their walk with God. The kingdom of God is...righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. (Rom. 14:17) It is necessary to be found faithful in pursuing 100-fold obedience if we are to receive the maximum blessing of what God has offered or invited each one of us from our obedience in this life. Faithfulness is determined in the simple areas of our life including making a covenant with our eyes (Ps. 101:3; Job 31:1), bridling our speech (Jas 3:2; Eph. 4:29-5:4), managing our time (Eph. 5:15-16) and money to increase the Kingdom (beyond personal comfort and honor) (1 Tim. 6:8; Mt. 6:19-21) as we engage in communing prayer with the Spirit (2 Cor. 13:14).…

1:07:18I’ve wanted to teach on this for years, but there is so much to say on the subject, so many details to cover, that I have been intimidates by the task. This will be only an overview. But I pray it will bring clarity concerning what is to come and focus for how we should live now. 2 Corinthians 2 [14] But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. [15] For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, [16] to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things? Being led by the king of triumph is not just spiritual lingo, but rather this will find literal fulfillment at the return of Jesus. It is a military term, and took days as the procession of captives marched before the victorious king, and the loyal army followed behind. The second coming of Jesus will take more than an hour. It will take days and weeks for this procession to unfold into a final victory. The first coming of Christ was quiet, and even then a choir of angels appeared in the sky to herald His birth. His second coming will mesmerize the globe. The high point of the Second Coming procession is Jesus’ re-entry into the city of Jerusalem as the Messianic Kingdom received by the governmental leaders of Israel (Mt. 23:39). Matthew 23 [37] “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! [38] See, your house is left to you desolate. [39] For I tell you (the governmental leaders), you will not see me again, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’” I. THE ARMAGEDDON CAMPAIGN A. Jesus’ Second Coming is in context to ending a 31⁄2 year military conflict (Armageddon campaign) at the Battle of Jerusalem to establish His Throne over all nations. The final event of natural history is the appearance of Jesus as that Warrior-King with the all saints and angels. Revelation 19 [11] Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. [12] His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. [13] He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. [14] And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. [15] From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. [16] On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. B. The setting of the Second Coming: the Antichrist will appear victorious over the Church (Rev. 13) and Israel. Israel will be surrounded by the Antichrist’s forces. Half of the city will be taken into exile. Israel and the Church will have their “back against the sea” in seeming defeated by the advancing forces of the Antichrist (as the End-Time Pharaoh). Revelation 13 [5] And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months. [6] It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven. [7] Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, [8] and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain. C. The Armageddon Campaign is often thought of as an isolated battle that occurs just before Jesus returns. It is a military campaign that lasts 31⁄2 years and will involve many different battles. It ends with the final battle referred to as the Battle of Jerusalem which is fought in the Valley of Jehoshaphat just outside of Jerusalem. The Antichrist will conduct numerous battles around the world (Rev. 6:1-6; Dan. 11:40-45), in context to the 31⁄2-year Armageddon Campaign. The most fierce and decisive battle of the Armageddon Campaign is the last one called the Battle for Jerusalem. It is the battle that is ended by Jesus’ Second Coming to Jerusalem. The Battle for Jerusalem is what most people are thinking of when they say the Battle of Armageddon. The Second Coming is in context to the Battle of Jerusalem and involves the nations gathering to fight Jesus, on earth (not in the sky). The judgment of the Sixth Bowl is the assembling of nations to come to Jerusalem to fight Jesus not the Jews. Jesus is on the ground by then. They have urgency because of having seen Jesus’ sign in the sky. Jesus will step out of heaven and He will stand in the sky as a fully human King who is also fully God. No human king in history has ever stood in the sky with his armies. When Jesus splits the sky with His appearing and liberates the captives, it won’t be instantaneous, but a process! It will take time. Though He will use supernatural power, He will also operate to a high degree within the boundaries of human process. Because He comes from Heaven, we often assume He will nearly do away with the natural human dimensions of life in His Second Coming. Yet that is not the case. God loves the natural realm. He will release His glory to the nations involving natural, human processes with a supernatural anointing. This concept of literal events in a natural realm is important for us to understand! II. THE PROCESSION IN THREE STAGES The Second Coming is in context to the Battle of Jerusalem. Jesus will march to Jerusalem to win the Battle of Jerusalem to end the Armageddon campaign (Rev. 19:11-21). To understand the Second Coming we must have a right paradigm. The necessary paradigm is in knowing that Jesus will rule the earth with the natural human processes not suspended, yet significantly enhanced by the supernatural dimension of the Spirit. There are three types of people on earth when Jesus appears in the sky. First, the redeemed will be raptured during Jesus’ worldwide procession across the sky. Second, the reprobate who took the mark of the Beast. Third, the resistors or the unsaved survivors (Jews and Gentiles) of the Great Tribulation who refused to worship the Antichrist. Stage #1: Jesus’ procession across the sky: to rapture the Church (Mt. 24:30-31; Rev. 1:7) Stage #2: Jesus’ procession on the land: traveling from Egypt through Jordan (Isa. 63; Hab. 3) Stage #3: Jesus’ procession into Jerusalem: to the Mount of Olives followed by His coronation STAGE 1: ACROSS THE SKY I refer to the many different events associated with Jesus' Second Coming as the "Second Coming Procession." It is a procession because Jesus comes with all the saints (1 Thes. 3:13) and all the angels (Mt. 25:31) as He travels on clouds across the whole earth for all to see (Mt. 24:30). It will be a glorious procession as Jesus comes with the Father's glory (Mt. 16:27), great power (Mk. 13:26) and flaming fire (2 Thes. 1:8) as He travels across the sky with the brightness and energy of lightning (Mt. 24:27). He will descend from heaven with a shout, the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God as He raises the dead. (1 Thes. 4:14-16). The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken (Mt. 24:29) causing darkness and silence (Hab. 2:20; Zech. 2:13) to cover the earth. The Second Coming Procession involves a 3 stage process including many events occurring over 30 days (compare Rev. 11:2-3; 12:6, 14; 13:5; Dan. 7:25; 12:7 with Dan. 12:11). This Procession begins in the sky at the 7th Trumpet (Last Trumpet; Rev. 11:15; 1 Cor. 15:52) with the Rapture and ends on the earth after the 7th Bowl to end the Armageddon campaign with an astonishing victory over the armies of the Antichrist at Jerusalem (Rev. 19:11-21; Zech. 12:1-13:6; 14:1-9). 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. (1 Thes. 4:16) 31 He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather His elect. (Mt. 24:31) 51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed-- 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the Last Trumpet. For the Trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (1 Cor 15:51-52) 15 Then the seventh angel sounded: there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ... (Rev. 11:15) 14 Then the LORD will be seen over them...the Lord GOD will blow the trumpet, and go with whirlwinds from the south. (Zech 9:14) 13 So it shall be in that day: The great trumpet will be blown; they will come, who are about to perish in the land of Assyria, and they who are outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem. (Isa 27:13) Jesus will begin to rapture the saints at the sound of the Last Trumpet (1 Cor. 15:50-52; Rev. 11:15-17; 10:7; Mt. 24:31; 1 Thes. 4:16; Isa. 27:13). Only the righteous dead will be raised at the Last Trumpet (1 Cor. 15:51-52). The mystery of God or the plan of God for the Bride to be ready to rule the earth with Jesus will be complete at the 7th Trumpet. Jesus will rapture the saints in association with a great trumpet (Mt. 24:31). Paul tells us that the Rapture occurs in association with the Last Trumpet (1 Cor. 15:50-52; 1 Thes. 4:16-17; Isa. 27:13; Rev. 11:15-17; 10:7). The 7th Trumpet is the Last Trumpet in the series of seven (Rev. 8-9; 11:15) and is when the empires of the earth begin to be taken over by Jesus. The Last Trumpet is the last of the seven Trumpets that are numbered by John in Revelation. The world is celebrating the death of the Two Witnesses as they are the first ones raptured at the 7th Trumpet. Jesus comes back to earth beginning at the 7th Trumpet (Rev. 11:15-18) STAGE 2: JESUS IS THE GREATER MOSES A. Two Second Coming prophecies concerning Jesus must be studied together, Isa. 42:1-17 and Isa. 49:1- 26.They have many significant parallels related to Jesus’ Second Coming procession. In both passages, Jesus is described as God’s Servant who establishes His covenant with compassion to establish justice in all the earth. Jesus’ world-wide commission is confirmed in covenant terms. The points of great emphasis in the covenant include, Jesus releasing prisoners then taking the captives on an Exodus type journey back to Israel. Isaiah 42 6 I, the LORD, have called You in righteousness, and will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people (Gentiles), as a light to the Gentiles, 7 to open blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the prison, those who sit in darkness from the prison house... 10 Sing to the LORD a new song, and His praise from the ends of the earth... 13 The LORD shall go forth like a mighty man; He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war. He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud; He shall prevail against His enemies. 14 "I have held My peace a long time, I have been still and restrained Myself. Now I will cry like a woman in labor, I will pant and gasp at once. 15 I will lay waste the mountains and hills...16 I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them. 17 They shall be turned back...22 But this is a people (Israel) robbed and plundered; all of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prison houses; they are for prey, and no one delivers; for plunder, and no one says, "Restore!" 23 Who among you will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come? 24 Who gave Jacob for plunder, and Israel to the robbers? Was it not the LORD, He against whom we have sinned? For they would not walk in His ways, nor were they obedient to His law. Isaiah 49 8 Thus says the LORD: "In an acceptable time I have heard You..., and in the day of salvation I have helped You; I will preserve You and give You as a covenant to the people, to restore the earth, to cause them to inherit the desolate heritages; 9 that You may say to the prisoners, 'Go forth,' to those who are in darkness, 'Show yourselves.' "They shall feed along the roads, and their pastures shall be on all desolate heights. 10 They shall neither hunger nor thirst, neither heat nor sun shall strike them; for He who has mercy on them will lead them, even by the springs of water He will guide them. 11 I will make each of My mountains a road, and My highways shall be elevated. 12 Surely these shall come from afar (East); Look! Those from the north and the west, and these from the land of Sinim (Egypt or the South) ." (Isa. 49:8-12) B. In Isaiah 42, we see God’s word to the Gentiles about Jesus ruling all nations. In Isaiah 49, God presents Jesus’ 2-fold task to first win Israel, then all the Gentile nations. Isaiah 40 10 Behold, the Lord GOD shall come with a strong hand...11 He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and gently lead those who are with young. C. Jesus’ procession across the land as He travels through Jordan (Edom) to Jerusalem (Isa. 63:1-6; Rev. 19:11-16; Hab. 3:3-18; Ps. 110:5-6). This march will progressively unfold, including a series of events that could take place over days or even weeks. My view is that after Jesus descends from heaven, His first point of contact with the earth is at Mt. Sinai in Egypt, then marches through parts of Egypt, then passing through the wilderness, then through Jordan (Edom which was part of ancient Assyria) on His way to Jerusalem and then on to the Mount of Olives. D. Jesus will assemble the captives of the remnant of Israel. The primary two nations in which this happens are Egypt and Ancient Assyria (regions of parts of modern day Jordan, Syria and Iraq were previously called the Transjordan). A “highway” or road will be built up specifically for the return of the Jewish captives (Isa. 19:23; 35:8; 49:11; 62:10). The captives of Israel are called the outcasts and the dispersed ones (Isa. 11:11-16; 40:10-11; Hos. 11:10-11; Zech. 10:10). Isaiah 11 11 It shall come to pass in that day that the LORD shall set His hand again the second time (the first time in 2,500 years was in 1948) to recover the remnant of His people who are LEFT, from Assyria (Jordan, Syria, Iraq) and Egypt, from Pathros (island of Pathros near Nile Valley in Egypt) and Cush (Ethiopia), from Elam(Persia) and Shinar (southern Iraq), from Hamath (Syria) and the islands of the sea (Mediterranean). 12 He will set up a banner for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, AND gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth...14 but they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines toward the west; together they shall plunder the people of the East (Jordan); they shall lay their hand on Edom and Moab; and the people of Ammon shall obey them. 15 The LORD will utterly destroy the tongue of the Sea of Egypt (Red Sea); with His mighty wind He will shake His fist over the River (Euphrates at Assyria), and strike it in the seven streams, and make men cross over dry-shod. 16 There will be a highway for the remnant of His people who will be LEFT from Assyria, as it was for Israel in the day that he came up from the land of Egypt. E. Jesus will thresh from the Euphrates River in Assyria to Egypt; as He gathers one by one, the Jewish outcasts (prisoners) in Egypt and Assyria who were about to perish. He will do this when the great trumpet is blown. He will then lead them to Jerusalem that they might worship Him. This will parallel when God told Pharaoh to let His people go so that they might worship Him (Ex 4:23; 7:16; 8:1). Isaiah 27 12 In that day that the LORD will thresh, from the channel of the River (Euphrates River in Assyria) to the Brook of Egypt; and you will be gathered one by one, O you children of Israel. 13 So it shall be in that day: the great trumpet will be blown; they will come, who are about to perish in the land of Assyria, and they who are outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem. STAGE 3: PROCESSION INTO JERUSALEM Zechariah 14 [1] Behold, a day is coming for the LORD, when the spoil taken from you will be divided in your midst. [2] For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses plundered and the women raped. Half of the city shall go out into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. [3] Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle. [4] On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives that lies before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west by a very wide valley, so that one half of the Mount shall move northward, and the other half southward. [5] And you shall flee to the valley of my mountains... Then the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with him. 9] And the LORD will be king over all the earth. On that day the LORD will be one and his name one. [10] The whole land shall be turned into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. But Jerusalem shall remain aloft on its site from the Gate of Benjamin to the place of the former gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses. [11] And it shall be inhabited, for there shall never again be a decree of utter destruction. Jerusalem shall dwell in security. [12] And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the peoples that wage war against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths. A. It’s important to note that all of the seals and trumpets (and thunders too) proceed the rapture and the second coming of Christ. The bowls of wrath are poured out during the 30 days procession. Over and over the scriptures talk about wrath following Christ, and this is literally true. We are releasing the bowls of wrath with Him. He comes to reign in righteousness! And we are part of His triumphal procession. Matthew 21 [7] They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. [8] Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. [9] And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” [10] And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” [11] And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.” [17] And leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany and lodged there. [18] In the morning, as he was returning to the city, he became hungry. [19] And seeing a fig tree by the wayside, he went to it and found nothing on it but only leaves. And he said to it, “May no fruit ever come from you again!” And the fig tree withered at once. [20] When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither at once?” [21] And Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. B. This is the very mountain that will split! Jesus will ride in victorious. He will lead us into triumphal procession with Him. This is the glory set before us. This will unfold! We will surely be witnesses of fulfillment!…

1:09:55There is a distinct order about how the end-times unfold. Jesus never has and never will mislead us. He is faithful to prepare us. From His beginning address in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells us plainly and truly what happiness is. He explains the upside down Kingdom and invites us into fellowship. In His faithfulness to us, He also prepares us for the days and hours ahead. We can be certain that His Word will sustain us. I. AFTER THE TRIBULATION Matthew 24 29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. A. We will be here during the tribulation. We must prepare with sobriety for the days ahead. There will be a real crisis in the earth. There will be real choices to make. There will be a real line in the sand. We must remain loyal to Jesus! B. Right now, we are learning who He is and how to trust Him. Right now, we are preparing our hearts through the Word and the testing of many trials. Thank God for the trials. It is for the perfecting of our faith. It is for the refining of our love. James 1 2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. 1 Peter 1 6 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, 9 obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. C. Like a good coach, Jesus will test us. Not for our failure, but for our preparation. He is wise in His leadership. Think upon this truth: You do not know the difficulty of the hour. But He knows. You do not know the severity of what lies ahead. But He knows. We can must trust Him. Every season is about knowing Him and learning to trust His leadership in our lives. D. We can be sure of this, if we aren’t tested we will not be prepared. We talk about being faithful to the end, but we need to be faithful today. If you don’t train today, you cannot possibly endure to the end. There is a direct correlation between proper training and final success. 1 Corinthians 9 24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. 25 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26 So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. 27 But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. E. Beloved it is possible to know the truth…to preach the truth and yet live into a lesser standard. This is possible. It is possible to be disqualified. This ought to sober our hearts. We can leave the faith. F. Charles Finney said that in the backsliding heart, theology was the last thing to fall apart. Our appetite for God diminishes, our pursuit fails…all the while we preach the same. Theology is the last thing to go. Hebrews 12 3 Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. 4 In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,nor be weary when reproved by him.6 For the Lord disciplines the one he loves,and chastises every son whom he receives.” 7 It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9 Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. 11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. G. The tribulation is not about wrath…it is the discipline of God released in the earth. We will be trained by it. We will be refined in it. We will endure through it. And in it, our lives will yield the peaceful fruit of righteousness! This is why we can say yes to the Lord. Because we are His garden, and He knows how to prune us just right. H. We have prayed the prayer…God do whatever you have to do in us so that we love your Son the way you do…and He will answer this prayer. II. HEAVENS AND EARTH SHAKEN Matthew 24 29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man… A. After the tribulation, everything is shaken. As if the tribulation were not enough to get our attention…the Lord shakes everything that can be shaken. Hebrews 12 25 See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. 26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” 27 This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, 29 for our God is a consuming fire. Revelation 6 12 When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, 13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. 14 The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. 15 Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, 16 calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, 17 for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?” Luke 21 25 “And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, 26 people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” B. We need to deal with the accusation and offense in our own heart today. The training that we are in today will prepare us for this hour. Jesus is going to come again! When he comes, everything will be shaken. The earth that was spoken into existence at His command will respond to Him again. III. THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN Matthew 24 30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. A. After the discipline of the tribulation, and the shaking of all that can be shaken…THEN Jesus will come! We can endure because of the hope set before us. Our hope isn’t a Cadillac, or bigger house…our hope is Jesus. We can endure the training because we have a firm hope in the prize. Phil 3 12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. 13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own (perfection in Christ). But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. 16 Only let us hold true to what we have attained. B. I am convinced that there is no way to endure to the end without living a focused life now. Most of the shaking and discipline we are going through right now has to do with just one thing: Jesus is not our hope. Right under the surface we have other goals, expectations, ambitions and desires besides knowing Jesus. God in His love for us reveals our true state. Under all the Christian lingo, the true state of our heart must be exposed to us. He already knows our condition. We have to come to terms with our weakness…it’s the only way we will choose to lean. Revelation 11 15 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.” IV. THE SEVENTH TRUMPET AND THE RAPTURE Matthew 24 31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. A. When Jesus returns we will be called to meet Him in the air. We will be raptured at His coming. 1 Thess 4 15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15 51 Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. 53 For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. B. The return of Jesus is not just glorious for Jesus, we too will be changed at His coming. We will be transformed. For the first time our bodies will cooperate with our spirit. For the first time, we will have peace. When He comes we will be made like Him. 49 Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall [6] also bear the image of the man of heaven. (1 Cor. 15) 20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself. (Phil. 3) 2 Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. (1 John 3) C. The glorious return of Christ is our hope. When He comes, we will be made like Him. Yes we will see Him as He is, but we will also become as He is. We are gathered to Him at the seventh trumpet before the 7 plagues and the bowls of wrath are poured out (Revelation 15,16). We will partner with Him!…

1:16:30There are so many questions concerning the end-times…but for our purposes, we are not trying to enter into a debate, but prepare our hearts to endure and be faithful to Jesus until He comes. There is more written about the final generation than any generation in the history of man. Prophets saw and recorded events from a great distance and trembled before God saying, “Who can endure the Great and Terrible day of the Lord.” These were men of the faith…men who entered the lions den rather than show disloyalty to God. And these men trembled when God revealed the plan of His salvation. This should bring sobriety to our hearts. I. THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION Matthew 24 15 “So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, 18 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 19 And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather. A. Jesus validates the testimony of Daniel, and this is huge. He declares that Daniel saw ahead. This is our cue to study out Daniel as of utmost importance to our readiness for the days ahead. Jesus releases a warning. When you see the abomination of desolation…flee. Don’t look back. Don’t delay. Flee. B. There are a few key things to keep in mind when interpreting scripture…Primarily, that Jerusalem is the centerpiece of the story. We are looking to events unfolding in the Middle East. C. Secondly, that history always repeats itself. Every story is the same story. God loves man. God makes a covenant. Man forgets God. God raises up a witness, a reminder of the covenant. Man hardens his heart. God releases judgment/discipline. Man remembers God. D. The abomination of desolation in the holy place (the temple) is the absolute marking of the Great Tribulation. This is THE SIGN. This is the marker of the Great Tribulation…the greatest distress the earth has ever known. This is the death spiral of the world… E. This occurs when the Antichrist stands in the Jerusalem temple and declares himself to be God by setting up an idol in the temple and then seeking to force all who are on earth to worship him ( Dan. 11:31-32 ; Mt. 24:15 ; 2 Thes. 2:4 ; Rev. 13:14-17 ). The Antichrist’s statue or image will be the greatest abomination to God in history, because the Antichrist will demand to be worshiped as God and many will fully respond to this demand. II. LET SCRIPTURE INTERPRET SCRIPTURE Daniel 9 24 “Seventy weeks are decreed about your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place. 25 Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time. 26 And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed. 27 And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.” A. Daniel’s seventy weeks ( Dan. 9:24-27 ): The angel Gabriel revealed to Daniel that God’s purpose for Israel involved a prophetic period of seventy weeks. In the modern world a week speaks of a period of seven days. However, in the ancient world a week represented a period of seven years. Gabriel spoke to Daniel about a prophetic period in which God would deal with Israel’s salvation over seventy weeks or 490 years (70 x 7 years = 490 years). However, after the initial sixty-nine weeks (69 x 7 years = 483 years), a “pause” was put on the prophetic calendar when Jesus the Messiah was “cut off” or crucified. There is one week or seven years left in God’s prophetic calendar and plan in bringing Israel to salvation. The first sixty-nine weeks of the “seventy weeks” prophecy of Daniel 9:24-26 have been fulfilled beginning from Nehemiah’s command to rebuild the city of Jerusalem in 445 BC ( Neh. 2:1 ) to the time of Jesus’ first triumphal entry into Jerusalem to be crucified ( Dan. 9:25 ). B. The first 49 years (7 weeks) are the time during which the city was being rebuilt. These were the “times of trouble” mentioned in Daniel 9:25 and recorded in Nehemiah 2-7 as consisting of constant efforts by Israel’s enemies to prevent them from completing the project. Nehemiah tells of workmen building with one hand while holding a sword in the other, and sleeping on site in their clothes, for fear of a surprise attack. The remaining 434 years (62 weeks) began when the city and its walls were complete and ran to the time of the first Palm Sunday when Jesus presented Himself to Israel as their Messiah. Daniel 9 27 And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. C. This man, the antichrist will make a 7 year peace treaty with Israel and the surrounding nations. What is called a ‘peace treaty,’ God calls a covenant with death. What looks like a peace treaty in the beginning, ends up being a treaty with death. In the middle of the week… at the 3.5 year mark, everything changes. Isaiah 28 14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scoffers,who rule this people in Jerusalem!15 Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,and with Sheol we have an agreement,when the overwhelming whip passes throughit will not come to us,for we have made lies our refuge,and in falsehood we have taken shelter”;16 therefore thus says the Lord God,“Behold, I am the one who has laid [3] as a foundation in Zion,a stone, a tested stone,a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation:‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.’17 And I will make justice the line,and righteousness the plumb line;and hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,and waters will overwhelm the shelter.”18 Then your covenant with death will be annulled,and your agreement with Sheol will not stand;when the overwhelming scourge passes through,you will be beaten down by it.19 As often as it passes through it will take you;for morning by morning it will pass through,by day and by night;and it will be sheer terror to understand the message. D. This “peace agreement” will be the very thing that beats the nation down. Daniel 11 31 Forces from him shall appear and profane the temple and fortress, and shall take away the regular burnt offering. And they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate. 32 He shall seduce with flattery those who violate the covenant, but the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action. 33 And the wise among the people shall make many understand, though for some days they shall stumble by sword and flame, by captivity and plunder. 34 When they stumble, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join themselves to them with flattery, 35 and some of the wise shall stumble, so that they may be refined, purified, and made white, until the time of the end, for it still awaits the appointed time. 36 “And the king shall do as he wills. He shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak astonishing things against the God of gods. He shall prosper till the indignation is accomplished; for what is decreed shall be done. E. So before the antichrist can appear the temple needs to be rebuilt. And then the offerings are established. F. As part of its ongoing effort to prepare for a future rebuilt Temple, the Temple Institute has been preparing ritual objects suitable for Temple use. Many of the over ninety ritual items to be used in the Temple have been made by the Temple Institute. G. As of June 2008, a major current project of the Temple Institute is the creation of the sacred uniform of the Kohen Gadol , the High Priest, and the ordinary priests . This project, the culmination of years of study and research, has been underway for several years. The High Priest's Hoshen (breastplate) and Ephod have already been completed. The Tzitz , the golden crown of the High Priest, was completed in 2007. [1] The Temple Institute is designing the garments for the lay priests intended for purchase by Kohanim who can verify their lineage. H. The temple will be rebuilt and the regular offerings will be reestablished. Animal sacrifices will again be offered. Since 70a.d., all sacrifices have ceased. Daniel 12 11 And from the time that the regular burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days. I. When the antichrist sets himself up in the temple and demands to be worshiped…there are 3.5 years to go. There is a seven year peace treaty with many nations, the rebuilding of the temple, regular animal sacrifice is resumed, and then the antichrist defiles the Temple…the Great Tribulation begins…3.5 years pass and Jesus comes again. J. Read Revelation 13. The words antichrist come from the root words meaning not only “against” and “opposite” but also “in place of.” He will be an end-time leader resembling the Christ with a false peace, but not finally able to deliver salvation. III. ISRAEL AND THE REMNANT SAVED Ezekiel 9 9:1 Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, “Bring near the executioners of the city, each with his destroying weapon in his hand.” 2 And behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his weapon for slaughter in his hand, and with them was a man clothed in linen, with a writing case at his waist. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar. 3 Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub on which it rested to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writing case at his waist. 4 And the Lord said to him, “Pass through the city, through Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed in it.” 5 And to the others he said in my hearing, “Pass through the city after him, and strike. Your eye shall not spare, and you shall show no pity. 6 Kill old men outright, young men and maidens, little children and women, but touch no one on whom is the mark. And begin at my sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the house. A. God will place a divine seal upon those who mourn for the land. There is a mark of the beast, but there is also the seal of the Lord! He searches the earth. He looks for those who mourn for justice. And He marks these. Revelation 7 7:1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea, 3 saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” B. There is a remnant of Israel that is protected. They have mourned the covenant with death. They have mourned injustice. They have grieved, although they do not recognize Jesus yet…they have languished over the land. Ezekiel 12 15 And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them among the countries. 16 But I will let a few of them escape from the sword, from famine and pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they go, and may know that I am the Lord.” C. Even in their sin, they are a witness to the nations. They declare to the nations that their transgression has brought judgment upon Israel. Even in the scattering they declare the greatness of God! IV. THE GENTILES 2 Corinthians 1 21 And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, 22 and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. A. We are standing firm. We are sealed. There is for sure trouble coming on the entire earth, but there is also Divine protection to withstand the day of trouble. We are already sealed with the person of the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 1 11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. 13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee [4] of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, [5] to the praise of his glory. V. STANDING FIRM AND TAKING ACTION Daniel 11 32 He shall seduce with flattery those who violate the covenant, but the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action. 33 And the wise among the people shall make many understand, though for some days they shall stumble by sword and flame, by captivity and plunder. 34 When they stumble, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join themselves to them with flattery, 35 and some of the wise shall stumble, so that they may be refined, purified, and made white, until the time of the end, for it still awaits the appointed time. A. We are here making many understand the Word and the mystery of God unfolding. How? We are standing firm and taking action. This is the call to stand in the wall. This is the call to be loyal to Jesus. There is no more spectator Christianity. It’s either ALL in or ALL out. Why? Because it will be costly to stand with the Lord in that final hour. Of course, it will be eternally costly to side against Him. Hebrews 12 15 See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; 16 that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. 17 For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears. B. Esau sold his inheritance for a bowl of soup. There will be those who sell their soul for 3.5 years of false peace. We must value the Lord above temporary security. C. There are things that Daniel saw and was not allowed to record…and there are things thunders that John heard and was not allowed to write…these things have been reserved for the final generation. Daniel 12 12:1 “At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book. 2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”…8 I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, “O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?” 9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. D. Daniel wrote for another generation. I believe he wrote for ours. The last generation is promised understanding. We are promised wisdom. We are promised to make many understand. Although Daniel saw it, he did not understand. This is our inheritance: to understand. Revelation 10 10:1 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire. 2 He had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land, 3 and called out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring. When he called out, the seven thunders sounded. 4 And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.” 5 And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven 6 and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there would be no more delay, 7 but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants [1] the prophets. 8 Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, “Go, take the scroll that is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.” 9 So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, “Take and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.” 10 And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. It was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter. 11 And I was told, “You must again prophesy about many peoples and nations and languages and kings.” E. There are things that have been sealed up for us to search out. There is a call to eat the scroll. We are being called to participate with the realm of heaven. It wasn’t enough to watch the events…the call was to come up “here” and take hold of the word and eat it. F. We have been called to take hold of something. To digest it. We have been called to come up into the glory of the thing. The angel doesn’t stoop down to John…John is called to ‘come up here.’ VI. WHAT GOD CONSIDERS AN ABOMINATION Leviticus 18 21 You shall not give any of your children to offer them [2] to Molech, and so profane the name of your God: I am the Lord. 22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. 23 And you shall not lie with any animal and so make yourself unclean with it, neither shall any woman give herself to an animal to lie with it: it is perversion. Deuteronomy 7 25 The carved images of their gods you shall burn with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them or take it for yourselves, lest you be ensnared by it, for it is an abomination to the Lord your God. 26 And you shall not bring an abominable thing into your house and become devoted to destruction [3] like it. You shall utterly detest and abhor it, for it is devoted to destruction. Deuteronomy 17 17:1 “You shall not sacrifice to the Lord your God an ox or a sheep in which is a blemish, any defect whatever, for that is an abomination to the Lord your God. 2 Kings 23 24 Moreover, Josiah put away the mediums and the necromancers and the household gods and the idols and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might establish the words of the law that were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the Lord. 25 Before him there was no king like him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses, nor did any like him arise after him. Proverbs 6 16 There are six things that the Lord hates,seven that are an abomination to him:17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue,and hands that shed innocent blood,18 a heart that devises wicked plans,feet that make haste to run to evil,19 a false witness who breathes out lies,and one who sows discord among brothers. Isaiah 66 3 “He who slaughters an ox is like one who kills a man;he who sacrifices a lamb, like one who breaks a dog's neck;he who presents a grain offering, like one who offers pig's blood;he who makes a memorial offering of frankincense, like one who blesses an idol.These have chosen their own ways,and their soul delights in their abominations;4 I also will choose harsh treatment for themand bring their fears upon them,because when I called, no one answered,when I spoke, they did not listen;but they did what was evil in my eyesand chose that in which I did not delight.” Jeremiah 13 27 I have seen your abominations,your adulteries and neighings, your lewd whorings,on the hills in the field.Woe to you, O Jerusalem!How long will it be before you are made clean?” Jeremiah 32 34 They set up their abominations in the house that is called by my name, to defile it. 35 They built the high places of Baal in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, though I did not command them, nor did it enter into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.…

1:01:59Our nation is in a crisis of the faith…but I believe we can raise up intercession and push back the tide of darkness and lawlessness that is pressing in on all sides. We can search out the ancient ways, bend our hearts to obey, raise our voices to proclaim and take our place on the wall. God is looking for a man who will stand in the gap of the wall on behalf of the land. I. HERESY: AND THE DIVINE SET UP Matthew 24 3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. 9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. A. Previously, we talked about the false messengers that will arise. There will be false christs, false teachers and false prophets. There will be a gradual, but substantial moving away from the faith. Instead of the Word, there will be preaching about positive thinking. Instead of deliverance, we will hear preaching of tolerance. These are the gradual, but eternally destructive heresies that Jesus and the apostles of the faith warned us about. 2 Timothy 4 4:1 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. B. When we have messages with no truth…when we have services and never point people to the way of obedience, then we have entered into a famine. When we have prophecy but no weight, no condition to enter into…then this is the false message. C. There is a famine coming…not first of bread, but of the Word of the Lord. There is a famine coming, when sound teaching is so rare we will search but not be able to find it. Amos 8 11 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord God,“when I will send a famine on the land—not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,but of hearing the words of the Lord.12 They shall wander from sea to sea,and from north to east;they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord,but they shall not find it. John 14 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. D. Messengers must reprove, rebuke, and exhort in all patience and teaching (2 Timothy 4:2). Messengers must direct the hearer to Jesus…the way of the cross, the truth and the life. This is relevant. 2 Peter 3 16 … There are some things in them (Paul’s letters) that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. E. We are called to bend to the will of the Lord…if something is going to bend, or twist it needs to be our own hearts. We should never allow the Word of the Lord to be twisted to appease our complacency or sin. If we remain bendable and pliable in the Lord’s hand, we will be saved. If we read the Word, and our heart cry is, “God show me,” then we will be found faithful in the end. F. This gradual moving away from the faith is the set up for the tribulation and hatred of the church: those IN the faith. II. HATED BY ALL Matthew 24 9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. A. After the false message infiltrates the land, after the wars and rumors of wars comes…THEN comes tribulation. Jesus was very plain in giving us the order of events. We can trust Him. The government considers you a terrorist threat if you oppose abortion, own a gun or are a returning war veteran. That's what House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said Wednesday in response to a Department of Homeland Security report warning of the rise of right-wing extremist groups. (Fox News, blog, April 14, 2009) B. Maine: Historic vote. Anyone who preaches the standard of the Bible may be liable and punishable for hate crimes! Hastings v. Christian Legal Society (June, 2010)… Matthew 5 10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. C. This is not about being persecuted on account of not paying your parking tickets, or being unwise in business. This is about standing with the Lord in obedience and truth. This is about being loyal to Him. John 15 18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. 21 But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. D. Have we considered what it will mean to hated by all nations…? Meaning the standard of God will come against an assault from the entire globe. Have we considered this? 2 Timothy 3 12 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13 while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it E. ALL means all. Have we considered this? Does this line up with our thinking about blessing? Does this line up with the faith we have believed? Have we prepared our hearts for this? III. FALLING AWAY Matthew 24 10 And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another A. The order of events is signifigant. False messengers, national/global hatred and tribulation for those who remain in the faith….and then many will fall away. The pressure from the media, and the false message that many sit under week after week…is and will do something in the heart of man. It will create the set up for an all out walking away from the faith. B. “Jesus came to bring peace, right…” will be the argument given for renouncing the faith. It will seem unreasonable to be a Christian. It will seem intolerant. Many will say to us, “Just leave them alone…let them be in their choices.” C. But in that hour, and it’s closer than we think…God will raise up a witness that refuses to the let the people alone. Although hated, they will release the standard of the Lord with great power and fire and unction. This will be our hardest hour, but our most glorious hour. Luke 12 49 “I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it were already kindled! 50 I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how great is my distress until it is accomplished! 51 Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. 52 For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.” Luke 21 16 You will be delivered up even by parents and brothers [3] and relatives and friends, and some of you they will put to death. 17 You will be hated by all for my name's sake. 18 But not a hair of your head will perish. 19 By your endurance you will gain your lives. IV. LAWLESSNESS AND THE COLD HEART Matthew 24 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. Webster’s 1828 Dictionary: LAWLESS a. 1. Not subject to law; unrestrained by law; as a lawless tyrant; lawless men. 2. Contrary to law; illegal; unauthorized; as a lawless claim. 3. Not subject to the ordinary laws of nature; uncontrolled. LAWLESSNESS n. The quality or state of being unrestrained by law; disorder. A. There is a twisting of scripture where we throw off restraint in the name of grace. This has nothing to do with grace. Grace is not lawlessness…In fact, obtaining grace means that we have received the Divine empowerment of God to fulfull the law. To walk in grace is to walk in obedience. John 6 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. B. This is grace. To do the will of the Father. There is nothing wrong with restraint. In fact, we are to be a restrained and directed people. Not living out of carnal impulse…but directed by the very word of God. Not living by feelings, but ruled by God. This is grace. This is maturity. Proverbs 29 18 Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint,but blessed is he who keeps the law. C. In this season, let’s prepare our hearts by searching out the scripture. Let’s cling to the Lord. Let’s raise our voices. Let’s live the standard. Let’s cry out for mercy. Let us become that corporate ‘man’ God is searching for. Matthew 5 17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.…

1:24:18We have been commanded by Jesus to know the signs of His return. As sure as the heavens and the earth will stand, the prophetic Word of Jesus will come to pass just as He said it would. As we study the end-times, it is imperative to let scripture interpret scripture. This takes time. But rather than dissect half of a verse, we should see the Word of the Lord directing us from the beginning. Every story is His story. I. FALSE CHRISTS Matthew 24 3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. 9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then many will fall away [1] and betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. The very first warning we have from Jesus is concerning false Christ’s. Those who proclaim and direct the hearts of the church toward themselves without regard to loyalty to Jesus. This is the first warning of Jesus. What does that look like? These false messengers will come “in the name of Jesus.” They will come declaring the endorsement of heaven without loyalty to the scripture or the faith. They will pull the hearts of the church towards themselves. They will sit in the place of Jesus. Ibelievewehaveenteredintothisseasonissuchawidespreadwaywecanbarelydiscernourerror. When we have men and women who are more than all right being called “God’s anointed oracle,” and “God’s man or woman of the hour,” we have entered into error. Where are the friends of the Bridegroom? There is a falseness that has crept in unnoticed. Deception has blinded the church. We have stopped teaching and instructing the saints in the standard of the Lord. We have a new standard...do they leave happy? As if that has anything to do with releasing the Word of the Lord. It effects our services, our worship... When we are more concerned if the song choice has enough dynamics to move the crowd, and not at all concerned with whether the worship is actually worship, then we have not only been deceived, but are partnering in the deception. Matthew 7 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ The issue here isn’t about works. These people are doing ministry in the name of Jesus. There is just one problem, they were not sent ones. They were doing ministry and yet not doing the will of the Father. Have we understood this? Have we comprehended that we can be in the middle of ministry and completely out of the will of God? We have so many things that have been produced out of the realm of our own soul. Can we actually discern what a true move of the Spirit is? 1 Corinthians 2 2:1 And I, when I came to you, brothers, [1] did not come proclaiming to you the testimony [2] of God with lofty speech or wisdom. 2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. Would we be able to discern a man of the Spirit like Paul today? Would we give credence to a man or ministry that was marked with fear (of God), trembling and weakness? Would we? What about our nation? What about our region? The demonstration of the cross is trembling and weakness, even death. The false Christ will proclaim a resurrection without the death. The false Christ will declare authority without the fruit of submission. This is exactly what Jesus warns His disciples about. II. FALSE TEACHERS 2 Peter 2 2:1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep. Is this not timeless? It sounds as if Peter were writing in the year 2009! It’s a subtle shift from the centrality of the Living One, Jesus. Instead of Jesus our Teacher, we have settled for a man/woman telling us what the Word of the Lord is. If the veil has been torn, why have we put up our own sheet? It’s been said that churches often pay their preachers to protect them from God. A true teacher will direct you to The Teacher. Not protect you from Him. A true teacher will desire the “unity of the faith,” not accolades and immaturity. C. A false teacher is marked with three primary things: Denying Jesus, sensuality, and greed. Philippians 3 18 For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself. D. The false messenger has their mind set on earthly things. This is the root of the problem. 10and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority. Bold and willful, they do not tremble as they blaspheme the glorious ones, E. Though these false messengers claim to have authority, they in fact despise authority. They do not tremble. What a statement! They do not tremble. They stand as ambassadors of another reality and yet they do not tremble. This alone is the height of presumption and arrogance. James 3 3:1 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. 13...They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, while they feast with you. 14 They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children! 15 Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved gain from wrongdoing, 16 but was rebuked for his own transgression; a speechless donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet's madness. F. Unsteady souls are drawn into their ways. Here’s a good marker for the spirituality of the teacher/ minister... are those around them maturing? Are those around them humble? Are those around them trembling with the fear of the Lord? This is the true condition of the leader/teacher. 17 These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. For them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved. 18 For, speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely escaping from those who live in error. 19 They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. 20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. 21 For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. G. They will get darkness because they loved their darkness more than light. This is what they desired. They promise what they cannot deliver. Matthew 12 33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit. 34 You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. H. Considering the warning, and whom it comes from, we should be careful to inspect the fruit. Signs can be deceiving. What is the fruit of the life? This is godly. This is right. And this is our job as the church. There is nothing wrong with looking at the manner of life. Does it line with scripture? With meekness? With trembling and weakness? 2 Thess 3 7 For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not idle when we were with you, III. FALSE PROPHETS Jeremiah 23 15 for from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has gone out into all the land.” This statement is so profound and weighty. To come to terms with this...that the state of the land is the statement of the spiritual condition of the church. The land languishes because the sons of God have not been revealed!!!! Romans 8 19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. The land is subjected to bondage because the sons have not been revealed. 16 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you, filling you with vain hopes. They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord. 17 They say continually to those who despise the word of the Lord, ‘It shall be well with you’; and to everyone who stubbornly follows his own heart, they say, ‘No disaster shall come upon you.’” C. Thereissomuchatstakeforplayingatthis...notonlyourownsoul,butalsoourfamily...ourentire generation. This passage seems to be timeless. And why, because it is truly the Word of the Lord! He speaks out of time. He speaks to every generation. Every culture. To think that we have conferences designed around the ridiculous question of how to make God relevant. This is a statement of our falseness. This is a statement of our falseness. God is relevant! 18 For who among them has stood in the council of the Lord to see and to hear his word, or who has paid attention to his word and listened? 19 Behold, the storm of the Lord! Wrath has gone forth, a whirling tempest; it will burst upon the head of the wicked. 20 The anger of the Lord will not turn back until he has executed and accomplished the intents of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it clearly. D. The awakened church will be prophetic. After all, what have they been awakened to but the Word of the Lord? Is it possible that Joel 2/ Acts 2 have to so with this passage? All flesh. The wicked will connect with the Spirit of the Lord on all flesh, but what does that look like? E. It seems that God’s wrath is directed to the false prophetic movement. When we think of the wicked, is the first thing that comes to mind the false prophetic movement or the pimp? 21 “I did not send the prophets, yet they ran; I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied. It’s arrogance and a presumption that marks this false movement. Have we trembled at the Word we’ve been given to speak? Is it a good idea? Or is it a Word from the Lord? 1 Corinthians 2 2:1 And I, when I came to you, brothers, [1] did not come proclaiming to you the testimony [2] of God with lofty speech or wisdom. 2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. If we have not understood this then we have not begun to hear the Word of the Lord. If there is no fear, no comprehension of weakness, no trembling...then it is not a Word from the Lord. We have asked for the power of God, but have we said yes to weakness, fear and trembling. 2 Corinthians 4 7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. 11 For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So death is at work in us, but life in you. If we would only say yes to the trembling...the responsibility of the Word, not just the momentary high of delivering the thing... the elation of being used by God, then we would surely tremble. Because whatever we are given we will be held accountable for. This is weighty. 22 But if they had stood in my council, then they would have proclaimed my words to my people, and they would have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their deeds. I. This promise is so sure and so simple. We have only one need...to hear the Word of the Lord. 23 “Am I a God at hand, declares the Lord, and not a God far away? 24 Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord. 25 I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in my name, saying, ‘I have dreamed, I have dreamed!’ 26 How long shall there be lies in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, and who prophesy the deceit of their own heart, 27 who think to make my people forget my name by their dreams that they tell one another, even as their fathers forgot my name for Baal? 28 Let the prophet who has a dream tell the dream, but let him who has my word speak my word faithfully. What has straw in common with wheat? declares the Lord. 29 Is not my word like fire, declares the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? J. The Word of the Lord is a fire. It cannot be handled. It cannot be touched. It cannot be manipulated. It is a fire. The Word of the Lord is like a hammer. When the Word of the Lord has been released the landscape of our hearts is altered. The lofty places are brought to nothing. Our good ideas are laid flat. 2 Corinthians 10 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. 5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, 6 being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.…

1:10:01We spend a good amount of time considering what we get out of the Gospel. In other words, “what’s in it for us.” And I suppose this is normal, but it certainly isn’t complete. It’s not just about us... it’s about Him. What does He get out of it? What’s in it for Jesus, the Father and the Spirit? Have we considered the Gospel from His point of view? Why did He come for us and why does He stay, and why is He coming again? This is an invitation into the glorious heart of God. Brace yourself for unbridled love! It’s going to be unbearably good! I’m reading this book by C.S. Lewis, called Out of the Silent Planet. It’s part of his Space Trilogy, and it’s rocking me. It’s a little weird, and there are some parts about light and darkness that are profound. I encourage you to read it. In fact, can I give you some advice? You really need to read more! Our minds are endlessly being dulled to the glory of the Gospel. We are being continually numbed, and we need time to meditate on the loftiness of reality. Read more! You are God-men. You’re more than dust. You’re life will go on and on forever. And eternity starts now. Turn the TV off, and let God fascinate you. John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. Eternal life is a person. It’s found in relation...in relating to the Father and His son. It’s found in conversing, in the dialogue. It’s the sole purpose for the House of Prayer. It’s why we’ve come together. It’s for the conversation! Eternal life is now. How much of your time do you spend in dialogue with the Lord? Church, prayer, reading your Bible are all good... and necessary, but they are only life-giving if we are doing these things with the Lord. Reading the word with The Word. Coming together as the body to join with the Head. Praying to engage into the Heavenly dialogue and not the dusty monologue. The disposition of the heart means everything. I. YOU ARE HIS INHERITANCE Ephesians 1 15 For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, 16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, 18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might 20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all. A. I know it’s most common to consider what we get out of the deal. Most of our sermons are centered around what benefit we derive from God. But my thoughts this week have led me to ponder what inheritance He has within us. I’m it! You’re it! We’re the reason He came. The Father chose to love us. He chose to make us the objects of His supreme affections and desires. He wants us. He’s declared us valuable to Him and so we are important. Our worth is determined by His decision to love us. You are the glorious inheritance of the Lord. Have you ever thought about this? Talk about an elevated status! Psalm 2 7 I will tell of the decree: The Lord said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you. 8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. D. If I could only get you to spend an entire day meditating on this one thing...You are the inheritance of the Lord. Whom has He on earth but you? Psalm 73 25 Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. E. I know there is a glorious inheritance in us! There are treasures within. There is glory within. You are the object of the Lord’s affections!! Let’s come into the II. LOVE MUST HAVE A RECIPIENT A. It’s not enough to be loving. Love must find a recipient. Love is a river not a pond. It’s not stagnant. It was for love that the Word came, “Let there be light.” Love is a creative force. Love is not passive. Romans 5 3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. B. Love is like manna. It can’t be stored. It can be received, it can nourish... but it can’t be stored. I think many of us have grown frustrated because the manna has gone bad, and so we’ve questioned the goodness and provision of God for our lives. We’ve misunderstood how love works, and so what was intended to heal us had wounded us. It’s not meant to be stored. We can trust Him. There will be more in the morning! Exodus 16 In the evening quail came up and covered the camp, and in the morning dew lay around the camp. 14 And when the dew had gone up, there was on the face of the wilderness a fine, flake-like thing, fine as frost on the ground. 15 When the people of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, “It is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat. 16 This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Gather of it, each one of you, as much as he can eat. You shall each take an omer, according to the number of the persons that each of you has in his tent.’” 17 And the people of Israel did so. They gathered, some more, some less. 18 But when they measured it with an omer, whoever gathered much had nothing left over, and whoever gathered little had no lack. Each of them gathered as much as he could eat. 19 And Moses said to them, “Let no one leave any of it over till the morning.” 20 But they did not listen to Moses. Some left part of it till the morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Moses was angry with them. 21 Morning by morning they gathered it, each as much as he could eat; but when the sun grew hot, it melted. C. It’s not meant to be stored. If you try and hoard it you will stink! You can take what you can, and use up the rest... Don’t hoard!!! Don’t be a love hoarder. Don’t try and contain it...either eat it or give it away! My concern for the church is that we seem be producing callings with no recipients, missionaries with no mission fields, shepherds with no flocks. It’s not for love of shepherding that we pastor, it’s for the love of the sheep! Love must have a recipient! It’s must pour itself out onto someone. Why is God chiseling away at you? Because you’re a pent up pool, but you were always made to be a river. He’s tearing down the walls that have made the love inside stagnant and stinky! You’re calling isn’t really about you... it’s really about the love of God through you (to Him and your neighbor). You’re not a pastor in a vacuum. You aren’t an evangelist apart from the harvest. John 7 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” 39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Out of His heart... This is so good!!! We don’t operate from a limited source, but rather we have God’s love pouring through our hearts. We have the ocean on a spigot. You are a river! You have been baptized into unlimited love. This is reality. Think about it, meditate on it until your thoughts are renewed. Stop fretting over yesterday’s manna! There is a fresh move for today. III. WITH HIM IN PARTNERSHIP The object of His affection is now the object of mine! What and who He loves, I love. I’m not just the recipient of His love, I’m His partner in love. There are so many scriptures that talk about being seated with Christ, that I am convinced we are to understand this presently. These are not for theology discussions, but are mainly given to us as invitations of His grace. Why settle for discussion when we can have the experience of the thing? Ephesians 2 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—6 and raisedus up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians 3 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. C. He is a river... so you will be a river. He is love, and so you will be love. He is free, and so you are free. He is boundless, and through His Spirit you are boundless! IV. BE A RIVER Isaiah 61 1The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; 2 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; 3 to grant to those who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified. 4 They shall build up the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations. A. We are in a wonderful season! It’s a season of partnership. The anointing of God operates only in river form. I’m anointed ---- to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me ---- to bind up the breokenhearted. I’m a proclaimer ---- of liberty to those who are captive. B. This is the season of reconciling the missionaries to the mission fields! This is a season of reconciliation. Be like God. Find a recipient for His love flowing through your heart. Find someone who needs love and pour it out! Find someone who is brokenhearted and be sent! Find the captives and proclaim... Find your field.…
