Live from Bremerton. It's Monday night. We are here at Rob and Vicky's home, the here in Bremerton, and we're gonna study Ezekiel 38 tonight, prophecy. And in case you haven't received one, a 101 last days prophecies. And so we passed these out, 27% of the Bible's prophecy, and we're gonna study tonight the prophecy of Ezekiel thirty thirty eight and next week, 39, and it's just so fascinating. Peter in second Peter chapter one verse 19 through 21, he talked about how he was an eyewitness of Jesus that he saw him in the transfiguration and heard the father say, you know, this is my beloved son whom I'm well pleased and all. And so if that isn't a huge proof text, an eyewitness where you can touch him, handle him, see him transfigure before you, but then he goes on to say, and we have the more sure, which is a greater witness than the eyewitness testimony, the more sure word of prophecy. And and so that's that's why we're so encouraged about studying tonight. Ezekiel thirty eight and thirty nine hasn't happened yet, but it could very well be real close. And so let's pray. Father, thank you for your prophetic word. Thank you that you desire for us to be children that walk in the light and not in darkness, that that day wouldn't overtake us unaware. So, Lord, as students tonight, we pray that you'd disciple us, that you would be our teacher, that you bless the time as we worship you. Thank you for the nice meal that we're just able to have and pray for one another, encourage one another. And Lord, we just love to all those that are sick and pray you continue to heal. Thank you for Jewel's testimony of her mom be on the verge of dying, and and, Lord, you you healed her, Lord, and she's doing so well. And Wayne's dad, Gary, being healed. His his cancer just removed, Lord. Thank you for that testimony. Pray that you continue to heal Cora and Alan and my dad and others who are sick, and just pray that you continue to do that that great work. And most importantly, Lord, give us opportunities to share the glorious gospel as one man sows another waters and watch you, Lord, bring in a harvest of souls in these last days. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen. Amen. I'm forgiven because you were forsaken. I'm accepted. You're working them. I'm Alright. Thanks, Rob. Alright. Ezekiel 38. Let's pray. Father, we come before you, and Lord, we pray that you would bring to life your word. We know your word is living and powerful and sharpen any two edged sword, dividing us under soul and spirit and joint marrow, and as a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart, Lord. Thank you for this prophetic word, your prophetic word. And I I pray Lord that you'd help us decipher and understand and connect the dots and please speak to us Lord. In Jesus name, amen. Amen. Alright. Ezekiel 38. Prophesy against Gog, future invasion of Israel by a northern confederacy or or nations that are allied. And this is something that is on the horizon. We're we're looking students of prophecy, we're looking at possibility of Isaiah seventeen one through four where Damascus will be made a ruinous heap and it might be, you know, Iran that gets in there and tries to get closer to Israel with with their weaponry and then Israel has to take Damascus completely out as rubble. And then Psalm 83 is one that some of the bible study guys says is needs to happen where the Arab nations, bunch of Arab nations listed in Psalm 83. Others say, no, that's not true. That's a perfunctory prayer, prayer against your enemies. If Jim was here, he'd say the word better. But if you're watching, Jim, say it for me. Alright. And then Ezekiel thirty eight and thirty nine, prophetically is where Russia from the North leads a group of allied nations with them to come into Israel and in hopes of taking the spoil. The spoil many feel at at years ago was the natural minerals that are in the Dead Sea, enormous amount of natural minerals, strategic minerals like for instance, president Trump wants Greenland. Blackwater and them want Ukraine. They have strategic minerals which are needed for the types of batteries they're using for their AI technology and all. And not to mention strategically located Greenland, but but Russia, ancient Russia, present day Russia, gonna lead a an allied invasion. We're gonna look at these nations that are listed and one of them is Persia, which is present day Iran. Another one is Turkey. Another one is is Germany, Gomer. Another one is possibly Ethiopia, Sudan, the Somali nations, and and so kind of an African whole group of of nations that are gonna join with Russia and with Germany and with Turkey to invade Israel and the desires for the spoil. And so Israel, verse 12, the spoil, as I said, was strategic minerals, enormous value on them. But a few years ago, the nation of Israel discovered natural gas and oil, and they they described it as Leviathan. It's such a huge, enormous trillions of barrels or gallons of natural gas and and oil and such. And so Russia's in the energy business, Gazprom, and you can run a a pipeline through Gaza. Interestingly, Gaza has been wiped out, but you can run a pipeline on through Turkey up into Europe and you could provide Israel could provide energy, you know, to all of Europe, not to mention cargo ships, you know, as they do now, and and fill them up and send them around the world to deliver their natural gas. So that's that's one thing that that's a newer thing because when I first started studying prophecy, they always mentioned that it was the Dead Sea, it was the food, the enormous amount of food that Israel produces and they never, you know, Saudi Arabia and all these Arab nations had oil, and Israel never had any oil, never had any natural gas. They had to import every every bit of it. Well, then they found this huge enormous find just offshore. And so that's what they're speculating. That's what they're looking at. But ultimately, the reason for it is God wants the biggest baddest group of nations, whatever. And Russia maybe at the time is gonna be one of the one of the toughest, one of the biggest. And God wants the whole world to know that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, he wants the Gentile nations to know who he is. Amen. He wants to be glorified and taking down the biggest bully, you know, on the block. The other interesting thing in this chapter is America's not mentioned. America is not in bible prophecy. So that's I don't know. Some try to place them there and we'll we'll look at that speculation as we move on through this chapter. But so let's start. And the word of the Lord came unto me saying, son of man, set thy face against Gog. Now who's Gog? Russia? No. Okay. He's a king. A king. So I hear a king out there, a king. So Gog is a leader. So Gog can be a czar, can be a kaiser like with Germany, can be a king, but Gog is a title not a name of a certain person. Or land. Pardon me? Or a land. Or or of a land. Now, we wanna hone in on Gog for a second here because behold, I am against thee, oh Gog. In Revelation chapter 20, we're gonna see Gog again in verse six where at the end of the millennium, the thousand year rule and reign, the devil's loosed and the devil tempts the nations, the Gentile nations, and Gog is leading Magog and the nations against the Lord and he causes fire to come down and and consume them. So at this point in time, Gog is a leader and let's who wants Amos seven verse one? Amos seven verse one. I'll do it. Okay. And then how about Proverbs thirty twenty seven? I'll do it. Okay. And then, Revelation I said 20 verse six, but it's Revelation 20 verse eight. We'll have someone read that. And before that, we're gonna all go to Revelation nine one through 11 at the very end. So first of all, we want Amos seven verse one. Thus hath the Lord God showed unto me and be hold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the ladder growth. And lo, it was the ladder growth after the king's mowing. And it says king there. Okay. So Eddie's gonna read Proverbs thirty twenty seven to explain that locusts don't have a king. The locusts have no king, yet they go forth all of them by bands. Okay. So now turn to Revelation chapter nine verse one. Ready? And the fish fifth angel sounded and I saw a star fall from heaven under the earth, and to him was given a key of the bottomless pit, the abyss. And remember, that's where Satan's gonna be grabbed hold of and put in the abyss for a thousand years. And he opened the bottomless pit and there arose a smoke out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth and under them was given power as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth neither any green thing, neither any tree but only the men who have the seal who have not the seal of God on their foreheads. Do you remember how the 144,000 are sealed and the antichrist can't touch them? And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months. And their torment was like the torment of a scorpion. Anybody ever been stung by a scorpion? Almost. No, I never was. I never was. When he strikes a man. And in those days shall men seek death. This is amazing verse here. So it gets so bad, men shall seek death and shall not find it. How's that work? Yeah. Right. That's amazing. The soul won't leave their bodies. Well, I'm gonna cut my head off. So what? Your soul's not leaving your body, you know. Death shall not find it and shall desire to die and death shall flee from them. That's so amazing. You can't even escape through death. You know, God's wrath, that's so amazing. And the shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared on the battle and on their heads whereas it were crowns like like gold and their faces were like the faces of men. And they had hair like the hair of a woman and their teeth were like the teeth of lions. What a picture, you know? And they had breastplates as it were breastplates of iron and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. So some commentators would say, you know, hey, these are Apache helicopters. Hey, these are drones. Hey, these are, you know, John C and something and now we put it into, you know, a military kind of a picture, but it's not a military thing. These are demons and these are from the pit, man. And they had tails like scorpions and there were stings in their tails and their power was to hurt men five months and they had a king over them. So you got locusts that are like demons. Right? And Proverbs thirty twenty seven says that locusts have no king and the word Gog speaks of a king, speaks of a czar, a kaiser, a leader. And now watch this, And they had a king over them who is the angel of the bottomless pit, who's that? Whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon and the Greek tongue that is the name of Apollyon which means destroyer and Satan, that title means destroyer. He's a destroyer. That's not the name of Satan. It's a description of who he is a destroyer. So these demons are being led by Satan. They're being led by, you know, the devil and and he's the king over them and he's leading these these locusts. So whether it be in Ezekiel thirty eight and thirty nine, Gog, the king leading these nations and behind these nations are demons. Right? And principalities and powers coming against or whether you go all the way into Revelation chapter 20 verse eight. Who wants to read that one? And shall they go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle. The number of them is the the number of them is the sand of the sea. So Gog is the king or the leader, the little g god of this world that leads whether it be men or demons as enemies of God's people, whether it's the church or whether it's the wife of Jehovah, the nation of Israel, or in the millennium actually trying to, you know, come after Jesus and and again, the nation of Israel and all. So that's where I would put Gog, some sort of a of a king or a leader. Now, interestingly, in Amos chapter seven verse one, someone read that again? I'll read it again. In the King James, it doesn't it doesn't go ahead and read it. Okay. Thus hath the Lord showed unto me, and behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the ladder growth and lo, it was the ladder growth after the king's rowing. After the king's rowing. Okay. So in the Masoretic text, it says king here. In the Septuagint, it actually says Gog. So that's why some think that that verse ties in with this verse here of Gog because locusts have no king, but they're saying these locusts in Amos seven one has a king. And then in the Septuagint, which was written out of Alexandria, Egypt after the children of Israel were in Babylon for seventy years, so many of the Jews did not go back to Israel. They enjoyed commerce and going to Egypt and other nations that began to spread and so many of them began to be culturally adapted to the Greek culture. And so they changed the Bible from Hebrew and they wrote it in Greek. So the Old Testament Septuagint, the 70 and seventy days wrote the Old Testament in in Greek. So in the Greek, in that version, Amos seven one lists that rather than listed as king over the locust, it says Gog. So there you go. Don't know, can't be dogmatic about any of that, but we're doing our best to try and get to the bottom. So of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshach in Tubolsk, and prophesied against him and say, thus saith the Lord God, behold I am against thee O Gog, the chief prince of Meshach and of Tubol. So, you know, you remember when Daniel was praying in Daniel chapter 10 and angel Michael came and let him know from the very first that you began to pray to the present, you know, twenty one days you're precious inside the Lord, but that they were fighting with the prince of Persia, the angel that was in charge or the the demon, the principalities over Persia. I think the demons come here. I don't know which ones that is. But, in any event okay. So turn to Genesis chapter 10. Keep your finger where we're at. We wanna know who these nations are. So a table of of nations in Genesis chapter 10, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, these nations spread. God formed a nation, brought out out a new nation from Abraham. Right? The nation of Israel. But at this point, in chapter 10, there's a table of nations and these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham and Japheth. And under them, sons were born after the flood. The sons of Japheth, Gomer, so when we're in Ezekiel 38, Gomer is Germany. And interestingly, says, Gomer and Magog and Adai and Japheth and Tubal and Meshech and and Tiras. And so according to Josephus, these are those that lived beyond the Black Sea, the area of the Black Sea where Russia is located. And then there's another interesting thing here in verse three. And the sons of Gomer Ashkenaz. And this Ashkenaz is where the Nazis came from. These are Jews that lived in Germany. Isn't that fascinating? That's just so fascinating. And and Raphat and Togarmah and the sons of Javan, Elisha and Terish and Kiddom and Dodanum and we don't need to go through all of these, but Sheba down here and Dedan in verse seven, we're gonna see. That's Arabia. Let's see. Sicily, Cyprus, Asiatic area. Ethiopia is for Kush. So remember that's one of the one of the allied nations that goes with Russia, Kush. Mizraim is Egypt. Put some say is Libya, but no, it's it's The Sudan, the area of The Sudan. So you got a big group of guys that are Somaliland, Ethiopia and basically Northern Africa is gonna be in league with Russia, with Iran, with Turkey, with Germany. So we can go back now. We'll do the best we can. So that's how you would connect the name of these countries. And say, thus saith the Lord God, behold, I am against thee, O Gog, and the chief prince of Meshach and of Tubal. And so, Tubal is by the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, the northern part, and Japheth there, and the Scythians also they're known as. And I will turn thee back, so they're they're moving as an army, as an allied group, and the Lord says, I'm gonna turn thee back and put a hook in your jaw. So it's like they're almost gonna leave the area and recently Putin has said if if anybody attacks Iran, that means we're gonna defend, we're gonna be involved. So presently speaking, if if any anybody, The US, anybody, you know, tries to attack Iran, then it's gonna involve the Russians are gonna, you know, pull into that into that whole wars and rumors of wars. A rumor of wars is threats of wars. So we're hearing about wars and threats of war. And Jesus said, we'll be part of the signs of his coming. And behold, I'm against thee, oh Gog, the chief prince of Meshach and Tubal, and I will turn thee back and put hooks in your jaw. And so it's kinda like, you know, Putin had to read this. Right? He had to read this. The Russians know this passage. Everybody knows this. And so it's kinda like, well, I really don't wanna engage with with Israel. That's never gone very well for us, you know, because the Russians have always been involved when there's a war with Israel, whether it's the sixty seven or seventy three war. These mig pilots are Russian pilots. And the Israelis fly, I don't know what what it was, f sixteens, and they just take them out, 89 to one, you know, just wipe them out. And God intervenes. God always, you know, makes it so Israel wins. Now Israel can be on the verge of defeat, almost defeated, but the Lord miraculously in the seventy three war came through for them. And so I will bring the you forth and your army, horses and horsemen. Now some commentators, pastor Andy Wood, he actually thinks that Russia and this allied force is gonna come with actual horses and cover the mountains, know, into Israel. How many of you think that's plausible? Brandon's a military guy says no. I do. You think it's plausible? Because they do have horse armies. Horse armies. They do have They still use them in in in The Middle East, don't they? Yes. Yeah. Now in Afghanistan, did we use horses in Afghanistan? On certain missions. Certain missions. Certain missions. There's a soldier there that was knows about it. So I mean, we don't know. But I would wouldn't you prefer to use drones in modern day warfare? Aren't drones gonna take over everything? And Apache tanks and helicopters. Those Apache helicopters, those look pretty ominous, you know. They they they're pretty rad. So put hooks in your jaw and I will now the the root meaning here is for horse is something that can jump. Some you know, it could be a bird, it could be something that jumps and so they would jump over the lines of soldiers, the horses, the war horses could jump over them. So I'll bring thee forth and all thine army horses and horsemen and all of them clothed with all sorts of armor, even a great company with bucklers and shields and all of them handling swords. And so they're gonna be well armed, a well armed invasion and and it's God's idea. This war is God's idea. In Revelation seventeen seventeen, it's God's idea. He's putting the hearts of the New World Order guys, the cabal, the luminati, whoever you wanna call them. He's putting it in their hearts to set the stage to get annihilated at Armageddon. Okay. God set the stage for them, you know. Haven't you guys learned yet? And I'll bring thee forth in thine army and the horses and horsemen and all of them clothed with all sorts of armor, even a great company with bucklers and shields and all them handling swords. Persia. Who's Persia? Iran. Iran. Isn't it amazing that Persia is still around? Isn't that amazing? Remember Cyrus in Isaiah? Right. Where the Lord said, Cyrus, my servant Cyrus, you know, at the end of Belteshazzar in Daniel five, it was Cyrus, Darius and Cyrus, Cyrus the Persian, Darius the Mede, the Medes and the Persians, the Kurds in Northern Iraq or the ancient Medes. And so it's amazing that if we go to war presently with Iran and let's say, oh, we're gonna wipe them out. We're gonna use our deep bunker busters, kill all their, you know, all their nukes and their nuke production and everything. We're not on the page, but Iran is. Persia is. And then you've got Kush. Kush is Ethiopia. Does is Ethiopa Ethiopia present itself as a real military threat to anybody? No. But, oh boy, I don't know. Northern Africa and Put. Some say that Put would be Libya, others say no, it's more of the Sudan. So again, Northern Northern Africa. With them, all of them with shields and helmets. And then Gomer. Gomer is Germany and all its hoards, the house of Togarmah. Togarmah is Turkey and the Armenians. Turkey really wants to get involved. Right? And as Rogan, you know, they've got they've got energy deals with a lot of the fighting that's been going on in the last ten years has to do with the distribution of oil, through pipelines. Pipelines that would go through like say Syria, but, you've got Russia who is a backer of Syria, Russia who's a backer of of, Iran and so the big fight over getting oil from Qatar and Kuwait and and, know, Iraq and get that oil to a market and the market they want to compete with, you know, Russia on is the European market, you know, and all over the world. Israel is a gateway to three continents, Africa, Asia, Europe. So if you have a Leviathan, that enormous natural gas and oil, and and believe me, none of these none of these jokers are really gonna use wind turbines for energy, nor are they gonna use solar. They're gonna go back to nuclear and hydrocarbon, and possibly they already have some new technology we don't even know about with the splitting of of hydrogen, hydrogen cars that the Japanese are starting to bring out. And so, you know, take water and convert it into into energy. And who knows what other kind of aren't they getting away from the lithium batteries and they're already developing the new Tesla type batteries with different lifespans and such. So they've they say that the technology that we have is forty years behind what they already have. In their research and development, they're forty years ahead of what we know to be true. They're ahead of it, ahead of the curve. So of the North 0.25 and all of its hordes and many people with thee. So sides Israel's gonna be invaded. Be thou prepared and prepare for yourself, you and all your company that are assembled under thee and be thou a guard under them. So NATO, UN, all you guys better be ready. And Israel's not getting any help from the UN or The United States or anybody. They're they're going after this alone. And they've got their dome shield, right? The dome and they have a lot of technology they develop and technology that they purchase from us and improve and utilize. So after many days, thou shall be visited in the latter years. Thou shall come into the land that is brought back from the sword. So how is Israel brought back? Wars. They had to fight the Belflare declaration. They had to fight against the Arabs. It was a mad dash to see who could who could grab hold of, you know, the the country and they they couldn't gain control of Jerusalem as yet, but in 05/14/1948, it was a war and the British didn't think the Jews had a chance against so many Arabs that were flying in there on horses to try and, you know, take possession of it. So as as British moved out their dominance of their region, after the holocaust, the Jews began to return, you know, to Israel and as we studied in '36 '37, the Valley Of Dry Bones, some Jews would say that's the graves, that's the grave of the holocaust and the Lord brought the nation back to life after how many? 6,000,000? Is it 6,000,000 in the holocaust? 16,000,000 Jews. How many Jews today? Two thirds are gonna die during the tribulation period. A one third remnant is gonna be preserved. It's a very very small nation. We're 330,000,000 people. Right? And China's a billion. India over a billion. Israel's just a tiny little nation the size of New Jersey but they're prolific in food production and technology. Their economy is just Booming. Booming, that's a good word, booming. And so after many days, thou shall be visited. In the latter years, thou shall come into the land that is brought back from the sword and it is gathered out of many people. So remember we study that thirty six and thirty seven. 90 different nations, the Jews spread out. They're drawn back in to Israel from 90 different countries, including Russia. Russia opened up and allowed Russian Jews to return to Israel, which which was fascinating that the Russians allowed that but they let them go. They let them they let them go back to to Israel. So against the mountains of Israel which have been always waste. So part of what would happen when you're being destroyed by the Romans or being destroyed by Arabs and all the countries that hate you is they cut down all your trees. They do Bill Gates on you. They they just torch it all. They burn it all. They cut it down and that changes the whole ecological cycle of of rain and precipitation, all of it. And now they have five different seasons of grow grow seasons in Israel now. Five. So it's it's blossoming and growing and providing vegetables and fruits and flowers and food, you know, to all of Europe. And it's just a small little little country and they had to if you're a friend of Israel, what you would do is you would give them money to plant a tree. Amen. And they began to plant trees, just people that love Israel, Christians would send money and they just kept planting trees and planting trees and planting trees. And a generation later, forty years later, those forests have leaves that fall and then, you know, and then they they corrupt and they make the soil richer and they move down to the lower areas and they're able to plant and grow and and bring it back from being waste. And and it it always fascinates me when you are with people who have vision and to some, the Arabs that saw that land waste, they had no desire, they had no vision for it. They had no vision in the swamp areas to drain the swamp and get rid of the mosquitoes and begin to use that as a soil to grow, right? No vision, no desire, no anything and so the Jews come in there and they buy that swamp land from the Arabs for pennies on the dollar because they have a vision. Amen. Right? And they're gonna get the saltyness out of the soil by washing the soil if need be. And and they do it and they and they grow and all. When we first came to Bremerton, we we've never known what we're doing, but when I went to the downtown there, the Lord there's these buildings down there with a blighted community that had been empty for twenty years And anybody in this community could have bought the Roxy Theater and tried to bring it back to life and use it, you know, for the community and and nobody did. And those buildings just sat there sat there and sat there and but what was fascinating, what was good and I I think I mentioned this to you guys before is Wayne and Brittany were buying their house. Sometimes what people want is they want a turnkey operation. They wanna walk in and they want the roof to be good. They want the lights to all work. They want everything to be turnkey. And one of the things I enjoyed was the price of these buildings was incredibly low and people were psyched out and afraid of them because the word was they've got asbestos in them. There's asbestos. And when we bought the second building, when we bought the Calvary Building, that was the word on that that that the old Sears had asbestos. And what that did is it kept everybody away and then you get low bottom price and then you work hard and you get in there and it comes to life. Yeah. Amen. And now it's being used. It's being used and people are getting blessed at Christmas and through the holidays, we'd be there and and outreaches and all sorts of things. And and that that I believe at the time was one of the greatest privileges of my life is to see God take something that's dead and bring it back to life. Right? And and there's a use for it. There's a use for it. And and that's true with your life. The devil wants to destroy you and get you to think that you're worthless and and that there's there's no use for you. And God says, no. A bruised reed I won't break and smoking flax I won't quench. If you're a little bruised, I can still use you. I'm gonna I'm gonna prop you up, know. And if you're if if your light's gone out and there's just a little faint wick, you know, of of smoke, the Lord says, I'm not gonna come over and snuff it out, you know. He's he says, I'm gonna pour some oil in there, the Holy Spirit, and fan your life into a flame. So the devil likes to throw people away as trash and the Lord and his people come into a place like this and God breathes life into it. God brings he can bring a home, a community, a school, a life, He breathes life, He's the giver of life. Jesus said, I've come that you might have life and that more abundantly. The thief comes not but to steal, to kill and to destroy. And so so many people against the mountains of Israel which have been always waste but is brought forth out of the nations and they shall dwell safely all of them. Thou shall ascend and come like a storm. And so the nation of Israel, they're not gonna have a bunch of walls everywhere. They had 42 different fortified cities in the time of Judah when the Assyrians were destroying the 10 northern tribes and they came into the southern tribes of Judah and they tried to destroy them and they succeeded in destroying a lot of the fortified cities, walled cities was the way that you survived an attack from an enemy. But the nation of Israel has Jerusalem with walls on it, but that's not the real way to, you know, to protect yourself. So they're they're they're in the land and they're confident. They're confident, but they're not at peace. There's always a threat of war, but they have a confidence that they're dwelling them in safety. And so they shall dwell safely all of them. Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm and thou shall be like a cloud to cover the land thou and all thy hordes and many people with thee. So, just like desert storm, They're coming with a storm and pillar of clouds. Thus saith the Lord God, it shall also come to pass that at the same time shall things come into your mind and thou shalt think an evil thought. So I think of I think my my way of thinking is always like cartoons. I got the angel on this shoulder and I got the devil on this shoulder and they're putting thoughts in my head. Right? I don't know what thought to go with. And and then Revelation seventeen seventeen, what's it say there in Revelation seventeen seventeen? God puts it in their hearts. Yeah. God giving them these ideas. Right? And a lot of their ideas are just so prideful and and, you know, intoxicating. So they use words like narcissist and psychopaths and and Gus says, yeah, demonic demoniacs, you know. And so they shall think an evil thought. So you and I, if we think an evil thought, what are we supposed to do? Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Amen. Bring it captive. Take that thought captive to the obedience of Christ. And every imagination and high thought. Right? Right. Because sometimes there's these imaginations. Oh, wow. Oh, yeah. Wow. And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages. I will go to those who are at rest, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls and having neither bars nor gates. So this might be that Russia and the rest of them are thinking they don't have America to protect them anymore. They don't have all those ships and, you know, sitting offshore there and all the the drones and the all the military capability that Israel's always had a pact, you know, with the nation with The United States. And so they're they're vulnerable. They're sitting there kinda idle, kinda vulnerable and and yet and yet Israel has a thought that they're militarily strong. And because they're militarily strong, you know, like, let's say they go and they hit Iran right now. They're not gonna wipe Iran out completely, but they're gonna subdue them enough to let everybody know that you're not gonna just overtake us. And then Iran rebuilds and Russia builds up and everybody builds up and then at a certain point, it's time to go invade Israel. And so the reason is to take a spoil and to take a prey and to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations who have gotten cattle and goods and who dwell in the midst of the land. Jealousy. People get so jealous. Israel goes in there, works for everything, builds the country back up, has to fight all the time to stay alive and it used to be that when the you've heard this before, when the pilots, the soldiers would graduate from say boot camp, West Point, whatever, they would fly over Masada, and Masada was an area where some Jews were entrapped. And the Romans were coming up to destroy them and they were they were belligerent. They weren't allowing the Romans to get close and they kept throwing stuff down off the upper area, they had the high ground. And then the Romans began to use Jews to push stuff and get stuff near the walls to be able to get to them. And so what the Jews did, I think it was maybe you guys could pull it up online real easy, but I think it was about 900 of them and they just killed themselves. They committed suicide rather than, you know, losing to the Romans, so to speak, in that way. So now the mindset of the Israeli army is never again. Never again. They're never going to commit national suicide in that way. Instead, they're gonna take the Samson model where Samson took the pillars and pulled over 4,000 Philistines down on their god Dagon. So their philosophy now is if we're going down, we're taking everybody with us. So they're not they're not gonna easily be taken or subdued or, you know, give up. So they're gonna be tenacious against whoever tries to come, you know, against them. And so they come for a spoil and to take a prey to turn thine hand upon the desolate. And you know, I can see can see something that's not mentioned in the Bible, but but corporations like BlackRock and State Street and Vanguard, these corporations that own almost everything, every everything. We we we don't have ownership over hardly anything and so to go rebuild Ukraine, you know, BlackRock would go in and have collateral in that we own the land. We own all the minerals. We own everything here and we will loan you money to rebuild, you know, your smart cities and provide the technology, you're gonna become a smart city, a smart country. And and you can see that in LA, you know, the people palisades that got wiped out. They have designs to buy everybody out of their home. Nobody will own a home is their design, is their their objective. And I don't know if it's gonna happen. And then Gaza, same thing with Gaza being wiped out, being being scraped. You talk to people and they're saying that Gaza is gonna have a higher concentration of wealth once they rebuild than Dubai. So Dubai is known for having an enormous amount of money there. Right? But the concentration of wealth that's coming to Gaza with Jared Kushner, president Trump's son-in-law, and others planning. Ivan and Donna want me to watch a video, which I haven't had time yet, where I'm gonna watch it, where there's actually a video that president Trump has an idea of being the king of Gaza. Is that true? I mean, half the stuff he says, I don't know to take him serious or not, you know? He goes and he meets with King Charles and he says, maybe we should join up with you guys. So so much stuff comes out of his mouth, but sometimes I just I don't even bother to check it out because I'm thinking, man, this guy's so busy. There's there's so much surreal things going on, you know. But the king of Gaza, I I don't know, man. I don't know. And people are saying that he's they're looking at his family crest and they're looking at the family crest, his lineage of his of his whole tribal aspect of what it means to be a trumper and and he has designs of that crest and that that family crest to be a part of the whole globalist royalty, I guess, a seat at the table. And and so that's gonna be interesting to see just how much wealth is there if if it's true if Gaza be, you know, is to be rebuilt and all that and what everybody, you know, seems to want. They're wanting the spoil goods to take a great spoil. These invading armies, when the Babylonians invaded Jerusalem, you know, they took all the wealth. When the Egyptians go into a country and or the excuse me, the Greeks, Alexander the Great, they get the spoil. That's how you that's how you pay your soldiers. They they get the spoil and the state gets that spoil. So when Nebuchadnezzar and his guys took over Jerusalem, they they destroyed the temple, but they took all the gold and all of the implements and everything that the priest would use. And Hezekiah made a mistake when some ambassadors from Babylon came. He opened up the doors. He opened up the safe, and he showed the ambassadors of Babylon all this wealth from Solomon. Solomon's wealth Mhmm. Because it's passed down. Well, then those guys go back and they begin to think about that, you know, and they want the spoil. They wanna come in and just take it. So the globalists make a lot of money off wars. And they'll steal the art, they'll steal everything everywhere they go, rape and pillage and plunder. And therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, thus saith the Lord God, in that day when my people of Israel dwell safely, shall thou shall thou not know it? You know? You you know they're dwelling safely. And thou shall come from thy place out of the north part. So if you take a line on a flat earth map no, not flat earth map, on a globe and you go from Jerusalem straight north, you'll go to Moscow. So when you see Meshach and Tubal, the city Tubolsk, those are Russian cities and Meshach, Magod Meshach, like Moscow and Tubolsk are Russian cities. And Tubolsk is the city that the czar of Russia and his entire family were murdered. They're all wiped out, right, for the communist revolution to take place. And that's where they were that's where they were wiped out. So he says directly from the north, the north parts, and a thousand miles away, thou and many people with thee, so allied forces, all of them riding upon horses, a great company and a mighty army, so huge military buildup. And thou shall come up against my people of Israel like a cloud to cover the land and it shall be in the latter days. What days are we in? Latter days. We're in the latter days, baby. Later days. We used to say that when we say goodbye to somebody. We used say, later days. I don't even know what that means. This came in head. What does that mean, Kath? Later days. See you later. Here they are in the air shall be in the latter days. So any day now, any day now this could happen. I mean, sabers are rattling right now with Persia, right, with Iran. Israel and everybody, I mean, isn't Trump making some threats right now with Persia, with Iran? And Iran doesn't seem to wanna listen, right? And it could break out at any time. And I will bring thee against my land. Whose land is it? It belongs to the Lord. It doesn't belong to the Islam Islamic faith even though they have control of part of control of Jerusalem on the Dome Of The Rock Mosque, The Jews can't entirely control that area completely, but it's my land that the nations may know me when I shall be sanctified in thee, oh Gog, before their eyes. So when Kathy and I try to find a show to watch, very very difficult nowadays, can't even watch Disney. But one of the key ingredients of a good show is a villain. You always have to have a bad guy villain. Right? And we love when the villain gets his comeuppance. Right? So Russia is this big bully. They're the villain. They're the bad guys. The Lord, to magnify himself to all the nations, is taking on the biggest, baddest guy on the block, you know, and letting them come with hordes and hordes and hordes of people and all their armaments and all their technology and everything they've got, just like Armageddon, just like what Psalm two describes. Somebody wanna read Psalm two? Psalm two is so appropriate right now of the of the machinations, the way that these guys are thinking. Bill Gates is never gonna be satisfied until he's killed everybody. You know? He's a murderer. Alright. Psalm two. Who would like to read Psalm two? Hi, Will. Alright. You gotta come over to the microphone. Exactly. Oh, how the heathen rage. Oh, does he? Hi, everybody. This is Steve. Woah. It's long Psalm two. You give me a little break here. Psalms two. Why do the heathen raise and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against his anointed saying, let us break their bands asunder and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in heaven shall laugh. The Lord shall have them in diversion. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill in Zion. I will declare the decree the lord hath said unto me. Thou art my son. This day have I begotten thee. Ask of me and I shall give thee the heathen for thy inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron. Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Be wise now therefore, oh ye kings. Be instructed ye judges of the earth. Serve the lord with fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the son, lest he be angry and ye perish from the way. When his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are they that put their trust in him. Hallelujah. Amen. You and I are on the winning side Amen. Of this fight between good and evil. We're on the winning side. Now when he says against my land that the nations may know me when I shall be sanctified in thee. If you're a preterist, if you're a person that attends a church that's a replacement theology, covenant theology, what's that mean? Church That the church has replaced Israel, then there'd be no point to this. There'd be no point because he says it's my land and they're coming to steal the land. The churches would say, hey, Israel's not entitled to the land. It doesn't matter. Whoever wants it gets it, you know, Palestinians, whatever, Egyptians, whatever. But the Lord says, no, this is my land and I've given it to Israel, not to the church. It's not for the church. It's for it's for Israel. And these guys are coming into my land while Israel's there. They've been regathered and they wanna take the nation, wanna take the spoil, wanna take all the stuff, and that's why so many in the church today are indifferent about Israel because in their minds, hey, it doesn't matter. Israel rejected Jesus, they crucified Jesus, and we're we're the church now. It's it's the church. And Jesus is coming again, and he's gonna rule and reign over the whole world. So Israel, it doesn't matter right now what what Israel thinks or does or whatever. And so that's why a lot of them don't study prophecy, that's why they don't study the book, the Old Testament, any of these any of these things because it's not a part of their theology. So I shall be sanctified in thee. Sanctified means I'm gonna be separate from you. I'm gonna be distinctly separate and holy. You're gonna see that I'm holy, oh God before their eyes. And that's how Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel chapter four, is this not great Babylon which I have built, you know, and then he's out eating grass for seven years, the Lord was sanctified, the Lord was glorified and that this great king took credit for something that God did and God used Nebuchadnezzar as a tool, a tool of of correction for his own people. And then later, the Lord used Cyrus and the Persian and Darius the Mede to correct, you know, the Babylonians. And then after that, God brought in the Greeks with Alexander the Great, and then after that, the Romans. And the tribulation period is gonna be a rebirth of the Roman Empire, the '77 of Daniel. And God again is gonna be glorified in that all the nations of the world like Steve just read are gonna come against God's anointed one, Jesus, and try and keep him from returning to take possession of the planet he created and the planet that he redeemed and the blood's gonna be as high as the horse's bridle. Right? Four and a half feet high all over the 200 foot 200 mile battlefield called Armageddon. And so the Lord's gonna be glorified in that. Alright, so thus saith the Lord God, art thou he whom I have spoken of, of old, of my servants, the prophets of Israel who prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them? So that's a good question. We don't know what prophecies the Lord's referring to through Ezekiel, prophesying of God that he would come because we don't know any connect in that way. We've got Joel three nine through 14 and Zephaniah three fifteen through 20, which seem to pertain to the tribulation period when these nations come against Israel. Now that's another good point is some commentators like Hal Lindsey and I think Dave Hunt, think, Mark Dinsmore have to correct me. And maybe doctor David Hawking put Ezekiel thirty eight and thirty nine as in the tribulation period. That this is gonna happen in the tribulation period. I don't hold to that. That's not how I view it chronologically. I believe it comes before and there's several reason for that. Next week, we'll get into some more of those. Part of it has to do with the identification of the bones and the armaments and everything that are destroyed. 38 begins to describe what happened after 30 or '39, excuse me, the devastation of the war, the devastation of what God's doing. And I don't see you going seven years into the millennium, you know, burning the armaments for seven years. And anything to do with this passage here going into the millennium. So if it happened in the in the tribulation period, you add seven years to it, you're telling me into the millennium the Lord's gonna be having the bones marked and having all the armaments, you know, burning for fuel for seven years? We'll see that in the next chapter 39 and it doesn't make sense because he's gonna that seventy five day interval between the second coming in Armageddon and when he has the marriage supper of the lamb, the start of the millennium, there's a little period of time there, seventy five days, blessed is he that comes to the thirteen hundred and thirty fifth day in Daniel chapter 12. But timing wise, I believe the Ezekiel thirty eight and thirty nine could happen at any moment. If it does happen, it doesn't mean it's the start of the tribulation period. But I believe it could be a prelude to softening the underbelly of the world, the whole world, to be willing to sign a peace treaty with Israel. And that peace treaty would be the start of the tribulation period. The Antichrist would emerge out of Europe and they would see the devastation that came against Russia. You wouldn't have the Eastern power anymore of Russia dominating anymore. They'd be subdued. So now the the rebirth of the rebirth of the Roman Empire, 10 kings around the world, right, and 10 regions and America could be one of those 10 regions with Greenland, Canada, the Gulf Of America, Panama Canal, whatever else Trump comes up with, and a king over each one, maybe Trump over one, and and they're going to need to develop a peace treaty, have a peace treaty signed with Israel, and and I believe that's the Daniel nine twenty seven twenty five to twenty seven peace treaty. The Antichrist signs a covenant of peace for seven years, and and that's the start of the tribulation period. And then that tribulation period goes seven years and and they'll have plenty of time in the tribulation period to mark bones, bury them, and they're gonna need a whole lot more markers because there may a whole lot of more bones coming, you know, in the tribulation period. It's gonna be a graveyard. So it's not gonna really matter to things burning and all that. Now some think it's old commentators think it's fallout from a nuclear exchange. The marking of the bones has more to do within the tribulation period. The nation of Israel having a temple rebuilt and inaugurating Judaism. So any common person that's out there that sees a dead body, they're to put a marker up and allow the professionals to come in in a kosher manner, bury those dead bodies lest they be defiled and not able to participate, you know, in the the re inaugurated Judaism of the tribulation period. And I believe that's more of a plausible reason for that. And so so anyway, there's some things for you to think about. So verse 18, and it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my fury shall come up in my face. Now we read Psalm two, it just said kiss the son's feet. Don't get don't make Jesus angry. Right? Don't make him angry. And he comes and he pours out his wrath upon the Christ rejecting world. He's gonna destroy the antichrist with the sword of his mouth and the brightness of his coming. So you don't you don't wanna make him angry. He's not coming as a little lamb anymore. He's coming as a lion in the tribe of Judah, right? Right. And he's coming with vengeance. Vengeance is mine, I'll repay, saith the Lord. So my fury come into my face. For in my jealousy, instead of jealousy, his land belongs to him. For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken. Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel. A whole lot of shaking going on and what happened with this to those swimming pools in those big tall buildings in Minamar with the shaking? Yeah. Like a waterfall. Right? Wasn't that fascinating? I wouldn't wanna been anywhere near there. Right. Right. So there's some serious earthquakes coming. That was a 7.7. There there are some earthquakes coming during the tribulation period that potentially can knock the earth off its axis. Right? We read in Isaiah. And so amazing and wobbling like a drunk man with some of the what's gonna happen in the in the rotation. And what happens when something's rotating and it starts to wobble? Things fall. Things things things have you ever been on merry-go-round they do that? You know, you start know, gonna fly off of it, man. So my jealousy and the fire of my wrath. And Jesus took the wrath upon himself. Father, if you're willing, remove this cup from me. So you and I never need to fear God's wrath. We're not appointed to wrath because we're the church, right? We're the bride of Christ. There's no fearful looking to a judgment of going into the tribulation period, a time where God pours out his wrath on the Christ rejecting world. And it's a time of Jacob's trouble of purifying a one third remnant. So great shaking land of Israel so that the fish of the sea, and the fowls of the heavens, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things, I don't like creeping things, that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth shall shake at my presence. So remember Belteshazzar in Daniel five when he saw the Lord's hand on the wall? His knees were shaking. They were the knees were bobbing back and forth. Right? Probably a whole lot more than that was going on. And so they're gonna be trembling and you see John twice in the book of Revelation when he saw just an angel, he dropped his face to the ground. Right? Trembling. The guys that were guarding the tomb of Jesus when the angels came to roll away the stone and all, they fell as dead men, didn't they? This shaking on the ground. Mhmm. Frightening situation and I don't do good with horror movies, know. Right. Right. I like that stuff. But that wouldn't be a horror movie angels that, you know, if they're good angels, they're good angels. Alright. As long as it's not the angel of death. Came out on the face of the earth, shall shake my presence and the mountains shall be thrown down and the steep places shall fall and every wall shall fall to the ground. So tall buildings. These smart cities, they're coming down. All these cities. I hear that the Chinese are already destroying many of their cities that they had built. Those cities that had no people in them, they're already taking them down. And the whole world is going through an economic collapse, an economic debt bubble that's gonna burst and gonna change a lot of things. But when God does this, one thing we need to remember as people are fearing the economy, you never see poor people jumping out of buildings, only rich people. We're poor people. We walk by faith every day. So that stock market going down, I don't have any stock, you know. What am I worried about? But you might have some. Your retirement might be tied to it, the whole thing, but we learn to walk by faith, not by sight. We learn to trust the Lord. We do the best we can now, build up your portfolio, do all that, but man, when he starts taking all the buildings down, all the real estate, everything everything everything's coming down. The walls are coming down. The Great Wall Of China is coming down. Now, how much of the direct energy weapons? How much of the HARP technology? How much of the can cause the tectonic plates to rattle and cause, you know, earthquakes that we don't know about? But this is a God thing. God's the one causing these things to happen. And I'll call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains. The globalists love to dig tunnels into mountains, Mount Weather and such. And they love to say, hey, there's 50,000,000 eggs that are bad, we're gonna recall them. And guess where they go? They go to their store storage, you know. And I get really angry when they take all the cookies, all the cookies, you know, they say and but they're storing up the deep underground military bunkers. That's what they're called, dumbs. They know they're gonna have to go underground with the wars that they're gonna cause and they may be students of scripture, students of prophecy also and recognize that in Revelation six, underneath the ground the whole world's shaken and the there's no escape from the wrath of the Lamb in Revelation six. So these billion dollar bunkers they're building, they're gonna shake, they're gonna crack, they're gonna roll. There's no escape except by the blood of Jesus. That's your only escape is to be washed in the blood of Jesus. And so all these buildings of New York City what if all the tall buildings in Seattle or New York City, the major cities, if all those buildings started to come down? Horrific. And I'll call for a for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord God, every man's sword shall be against his brother. So nation against nation is ethnic group against ethnic group. I don't understand the division that's trying to take place throughout the whole world, it's just hatred. It's just human nature to be like that. So Jesus said iniquity abound and the love of many will grow cold. It's a beautiful thing to see people love one another. It's just an amazing thing. It's horrific. It's it's horrible to watch hatred spread and brother against brother civil war in America, maybe again. It's just it's just horrible. It's just that's what we're about as Christians trying to teach people love, point them to the Prince of Peace. And Jesus said, by this shall all men know that you're my disciples that you have love one for another. So it's even worse for us in the church as Christians to be against brother against brother, and fear and panic and confusion and chaos. And I'll enter into judgment against him with pestilence, pestilence, Bill Gates must work for him, and with blood. And I'll rain upon him and upon his hordes and upon the many people that are with him an overflowing rain. So the rainbow's there, not gonna flood the earth again, but I can cause so much rain to come down upon you that your horses will be stuck in the mud. Right? Your chariots, your tanks, your all of your armament, everything be stuck. If God allows enough rain, you can't move. Nobody can move. And if the globalists are are jealous of you, General Patton, they won't they won't give you any diesel fuel or or or gasoline to get your armament into Germany before the Russians or before Monty, you know. You're you're stuck out there waiting for it to be refueled. Right? He wanted to he wanted to keep going. I saw the movie. I saw the movie. Alright. Overflowing rain and great hail. Great hailstones. Now last week there was supposed to be some hailstones. Big hail thing. Right? And we had baseball practice and we went there and I had a big umbrella, I'll tell you that. But the hail thing just went right over and they showed pictures of cars, everybody's cars with all these dents in it. Now those hail balls were supposed to be as big as like a golf ball. Right? Right. And that's that's pretty ominous, but what kind of energy is kinetic energy? You know? What how high up in space is God gonna be launching these hail bombs? You know, what atmosphere? How how far up and how big? How big are these hail bombs gonna be? So I want us to look at a couple verses. First of all, Revelation well, who wants to read Job thirty eight twenty two and twenty three? We're gonna have one person read that. Job thirty eight twenty two and twenty three. God's talking to Job and he's letting Job know, hey, Job. Do you know anything about my hail bombs? Can you tell him about my hail bombs? You want that? Yep. Okay. Vicky loves Job. She loves the book of Revelation. Alright. Now Revelation sixteen twenty one. We've got God using hail bombs again in Revelation 16 in the bold judgments, and they're talent. The weight is of a talent. So a talent, if it's silver, then it's a 100 pound hail bomb. If it's gold, denser, heavier, then it's a 200 pound hail bomb. Now the streets of heaven are paved in gold. Gold means nothing to God. So it'd be poetic justice for him to be raining down 200 pound hail bombs that nobody can spend, you know. I think it too. He's just spreading the gold for the streets he's gonna make. Alright. Job thirty eight twenty two and twenty three. I mean, would your roof on your household that back? No. No. Not even metal. Job 38, 22, and 23. Bunker buster bombs? Bunker busters. Job 38, 22, and 23. This is Vicky here. Why don't you tell everybody what you just did with with Sound Word? Yep. I created a YouTube channel for Calvary Chapel of Bremerton, and it's called Sound Word Calvary Chapel Bremerton. And I'm gonna post all of the series of Revelation on there. I've got 10 videos loaded right now. So there's about 40 videos that pastor has covered the the whole book of Revelation, and and that was done in 2018 and '19. And and then we'll I'll also be posting Sunday morning along with it's on Rumble. It's on Telegram. It's on Facebook, but we really wanted a a YouTube channel. And Clovis is gonna get on the website. Yeah. Yeah. He'll link the the the website to that. So So you know why she's a student of the book of Revelation? Because she calls it Revelation. Yeah. Revelation, not Revelations. Revelations. When you hear Revelations, you know the person hasn't studied the book of Revelation. Exactly. Only one Revelation of Christ. You know what saying? Okay. So Job thirty eight twenty two. Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail, which I reserve for times of trouble, for days of war and battle. Should I keep going? The latter days. Yeah. Yeah. It says the latter days. Or is or is the way to the place where the lightning is dispersed or the place where the east winds are scattered over the earth? Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain or and a path for the thunderstorm to water a land where no one lives and an uninhabiting desert to satisfy a desolate wasteland and make it sprout with grass. Does the rain have a father? Who whose father whose who fathers the drops of the dew from whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens? When the waters become hard as stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen? Can you bind the chains of the Plebeus? Can you loose Orion's belt? Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the bear with its cubs? Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you stop can you set up God's dominion over the earth? Can you raise your voice to the clouds and cover yourself with the flood of water? Do you send the lightning bolts on their way? Do you report do they report to you? Here we are. Who gives the the Ibis wisdom or gives the rooster understanding? Who has the wisdom to count the clouds, and who can tip over the water jars of of the heavens? Wow. That's pretty descriptive. When the dust becomes hard and the clods of earth stick together, do you hunt the prey for the lions and satisfy the hunger of the lions when they crouch in their dens or lie in wait in a thicket. Who provides food for the raven when its hunger cry out to God and wander about for lack of food. So all Job did was say, God, why? And that's how God responded. If you can answer those questions, Job, then I'll explain to you why. And it doesn't say Otherwise, walk by faith. It doesn't say anything about a flat earth either. Oh, boy. You can't mention that. No. That's oh, oh, man. Oh, you're a hater. Alright. So Revelation sixteen twenty one. Sixteen twenty one. And there fell upon man a great hail out of heaven. Every stone about the weight of a talent and man blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail. For the plague therefore was exceedingly great. So what did what weapon did Cain use to kill his brother Abel? A rock. A rock. Boy. Big old rocks falling out of heaven, you know. So primitive, right? And yet, so strategic. So if you wanna look at weather wars or a site called geoengineering.org, Dane Wigg Wiggington and he he exposes the manipulation of weather, like you hear the term aquatic rivers. The aquatic rivers are are used as with all the HARP technology, with the chemtrails, chemtrailing, all the different metals and then the electromagnetic pulse that they bring with this HARP technology. They're able to create, you know, fronts, weather fronts and develop aqua rivers and stuff to just inundate a certain location with just more snow, more rain than they normally should have and or cause droughts in California if they want that too. But God says, hey, I've got storehouse of snow and rain and hundred and two hundred pound hail bombs ready to roll and what are you gonna do about that you guys? So you don't want God as your enemy and you and I since God is for us, who can be against us? That's right. And we used to be an enemy of God, but we've been reconciled through through his son. So an overflowing rain and great hailstones, fire and brimstone, that reminds me of Sodom and Gomorrah, fire and brimstone. Right. And I mean, that's that's gonna be not just hail like snow type hail bombs, rain, but fire and brimstone coming down to the ground and just really lighten things up. So will I magnify myself and sanctify myself. So God's doing this that the earth dwellers will respect him. So when Jesus when we read that every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord in Philippians two, right? That's all the unbelievers too. Everyone on the whole planet is gonna bow down to King Jesus and confess that he's king of kings and Lord of lords, right? And so, thus will I magnify myself and sanctify myself and I'll be known in the eyes of many nations and they shall know that I am the Lord. And the Lord has has given the gospel to you and I to make him known, to share the goodness of who he is. Now, he comes in this manner as victors, you know, in a war with the biggest, baddest bully on the planet in this coalition of nations, that's an opportune time right there for a peace treaty to be signed and possibly the start of the tribulation period. The whole world's gonna know that you know what, we can't force the nation of Israel into the Mediterranean Sea, which is the design that many of their enemies want. We just wanna scrape them off the land and force them into the Mediterranean And God says, no, I'm gonna intervene for them. So the Lord is to be magnified and sanctified, set apart, he's holy. The devil's a liar. The devil's the counterfeit. The devil wants to be worshipped as God and the true living God says, no. I'm gonna show my power and I'm gonna show everybody that that I'm the true living God. Amen. So if they don't come by way of the cross, believing in Jesus, God pouring out his love, then they're gonna come by way of God's wrath. He's not gonna force them to be a Christian, to be a believer, but they're definitely going to have to acknowledge or come to the place of acknowledging that the true and living God is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Right? Alright. Let's pray. Father, thank you for tonight, and I thank you that, Lord, we're on the wind inside. We thank you, Lord, that you chose us, that we were lost, that we are enemies of God, that we are dead in our sins and trespasses, and you quickened us, Lord. And we thank you for this little bible study where you say where two or more gathered in your name, there you are in the midst. We thank you for Robin and Vicky's ministry here and setting up their deck out back for the weather ahead, the nice warm weather that's coming and the home here and all that they do with the meals and everybody pitching in, the fellowship, the interaction, the body of Christ ministering to one another. And we just thank you. We cherish this time and just just pray for the peace of Jerusalem. We pray for the persecuted Christians in Syria, in Iran, and those in in China and around the world, Lord, and Africa, the Boko Haram after them. And we just we just thank you for the freedom that we have, the peace, the joy, the blessing. And I pray, Lord, that we'd appreciate all that we have, all that we're able to do, all that we're able to be a part of as the body of Christ. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen. Well, can I get a prayer request? Oh, sure, buddy. This Thomas Pool has a prayer request. Yeah. I have I went to a windfall, and I placed my my bag that has headphones in my conversation hat, my the one with the world on. Anyway anyway, I so I probably maybe somebody lifted it, but it's still in it. But, you know, I checked courtesy and didn't even find it. So just pray that someone will if it's still in the store that they will be returned. And and if that's anybody's stolen it, I hope they fly. Anyway I I thought you had that stolen a couple weeks ago. No. No. Again? It was something else. Oh. Today. Today. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah. That's Okay. Well, let's pray. Lord, we pray that you'd restore Thomas his goods, all that he's had. And, Lord, if the person that took it or if somebody took it, Lord, if they need the jelly donut stuff more than him, then help them to enjoy it, Lord. Replace what Thomas lost with something even better. Thank you for Thomas. What a witness he is of your love, Lord, in Jesus' name. Amen.
