Live from Bremerton. It's Monday night, and we are gonna be studying Ezekiel chapter 48. And next week, we're gonna start the book of Daniel for those of you that wanna hang on. And we we believe that from 40 to 48 is allegorical. So we're gonna go around the room. We're gonna interpret it what we think this chapter thing that means. You know? Just it doesn't matter because is when you interpret that way, it's what you think. And so be ready because there's be a lot of crazy ideas here because they got a lot of crazy people here. And so let's just pray. Father, we come before you, and we thank you that Rob and Vicky got the outdoors here ready and Brandon. And it's just a joy and a blessing to have the sunshine and and everything working together for good. Yes, lord. And we just pray that you bless and pour out your holy spirit upon us. Be with those watching on Facebook and maybe on the tapes later even. And we lift up Sally and James and pray for Sally's cancer. You give them wisdom of what procedure, how to Lord, we pray that you as a great physician would heal them in church on on Sunday. It's so good to see him and Shannon and continue to heal my dad to be 88 next week, and I just thank him for him. Bless Judah today as he's 15 years old today. Amen. And be with Mike Ford, Lord. I pray that you take away the pain of his back and help the muscle relaxers and everything, to work to get him back in sync and take away that pain. And, just be with anybody else, Lord, in the body that's been sick. Thank for you Mark and Shelley being here tonight. We've been through so many storms and so many trials and all. Pray that you continue to heal Shelley and help Mark with his physical challenges and his sister and and her family and just bless, Lord, for us, the holy spirit. So you commit this night in your hands. Yes. In Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Amen. You know, follow them behind me. Right? Really? Here you go. Alright. Anybody else have another one? Anything? Alright. That was great. Okay. We are in Ezekiel 48. Ezekiel 48. Let's pray. Father, we thank you. Just the joy, the blessing of knowing you and worshiping together and just excitement and all the distractions of the world to be put away and to focus upon you, Lord. I thank you for each and every person that's drawn here tonight. I pray that our fellowship be sweet with you and that you'd be our teacher and open the scriptures to our understanding. And, Lord, give us a sense of urgency and timing of just how close it is for you to come to receive your bride under yourself. And, Lord, put a unction in each of us, Lord. Put a desire within each of to proclaim the good news of your coming kingdom. Give us open doors that no man can shut, Lord. Soften the hearts of our family members and our friends and those that we've been praying for for so many years. And we just pray that this season up ahead would be a season of great harvest, Lord. The fields are wide on the harvest. And, Lord, send us, Lord. Here am I, Lord. Here we are. Send us, Lord. And we we just pray that you would bring an increase for your glory, Lord, for your kingdom and glory. In Jesus' name, pray. Amen. Amen. Alright. So the first part here, we're gonna see the division of the land among the among the 12 tribes of Israel. And for those that are replacement theology people, I don't know how they explain this. They explain it away somehow. But in the millennium, the thousand year rule and reign of Jesus, the 12 tribes of Israel, we don't know who is what part of each tribe, if your last name is Cohen or different different parts of your last name, if you still know them, they can they can kinda determine what tribe you came from. But God's gonna know each tribe and each and every person, their DNA, and where they belong. And and the people are gonna know what, you know, what what tribe they're a part of, but they're all a part of the, you know, the nation of Israel. And, you had the 10 northern tribes and, the two Judah and Benjamin, southern, called Judah. And July, the, 10 northern tribes were destroyed by the Assyrians. And then May, the Babylonians destroyed, that of Judah. And, and then you had a a period of time where the remnant went into captivity for seventy years down into Babylon, and Ezekiel is a part of that captivity. And he's getting a vision. The Lord is bringing them up like John the revelator in a time type machine and showing them, you know, the future of what's gonna happen. And this particular epoch of time is the time that the bible describes as the millennium in Revelation chapter 20 over six different six times that of a thousand year rule and reign. For instance, the devil's gonna be bound in the abyss for a thousand years. And, at the end of that thousand years, the devil this isn't figurative. The devil's gonna be loose, and he's going to tempt the Gentile nations that have repopulated the planet during the time of that thousand year rule and reign of Jesus. And you and I, as the church, are gonna rule and reign with him as kings and priests. And then the nation of Israel, we don't take the place of Israel. Paul tried to make that clear regard to the gospel that the gospel goes to the Jew first and then to the Gentile. And then he makes it real clear in Romans nine, ten, 11, Israel's past election chapter nine, chapter 10, Israel's present rejection, and chapter 11, Israel's future restoration. So blindness in part has happened unto Israel. Romans eleven twenty five until the fullness of the Gentiles become in. So we're in the church age now. And what is the next age after the church? Heaven. Wrap. Tribulation period? Yep. Yeah. Seven year trip the seventieth seven of Daniel. Daniel chapter nine. Mhmm. Right? So there's one seven year period of time, the time of Jacob's trouble. So the nation of Israel presently, about 16,000,000 people reborn as in one day in one day in Ezekiel thirty six and thirty seven. And 05/14/1948 officially as a nation. And and now we we see and know that Israel's in the land, and yet people wanna try and say that the church replaces Israel, that Israel's disregarded. They, you know, rejected their Messiah. Jeremiah 31 talks about an unconditional covenant, a new covenant that God's gonna make the nation of Israel where he's gonna write his law within their heart. They're gonna be born again. And Zechariah thirteen eight nine says, how many are gonna make it? One third. One third out of that 16,000,000. So two thirds are gonna die during the tribulation period. And a one third remnant, which is made up of 12,000 Jews from each tribe in Revelation chapter seven. Right? Mhmm. And then you have you have other Jews, part of the remnant that and these 144,000 are gonna be great evangelists to go and proclaim the great, you know, the good news of the coming kingdom, the gospel, you know, and that's literal. And and then you've got the two witnesses that are gonna pro proclaim the good news. You have an angel flying overhead that's proclaiming the gospel. So the gospel is gonna go out. We're gonna see innumerable number of people in Revelation six and seven, you know, come to Christ. And, Revelation 20 verse four, they gave up their head. They were beheaded because they refused the mark of the beast. And, and so that's the picture of the seventieth seven, and the Lord, causes the seventieth seven to seven year tribulation period, as a means of, purifying that remnant. They're gonna go through the fire of the tribulation period to be purified, and they're going to flee from Jerusalem. They're gonna go where, Vicky? Petra. Petra. Right? Basra. Basra. 63. Yep. And and they're not gonna see Jesus again until they say what? Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. And they're gonna recognize that they crucified their Messiah. Mhmm. That remnant's gonna have a saving faith, and God is going to change them from within just as you and I have been changed from within. They're gonna be born again according to Jeremiah 31, an unconditional promise. Now these promises, the immutability of God, it's impossible for God to lie. So if God's made these promises, I don't know how anybody could say this is allegorical, It's figurative language and that, you you God just promised them figuratively, I guess. You know? There is no yay and amen. But we beg to differ, and it's a much, stronger, position because we're arguing from the from the position of truth. And anytime you're arguing from the position of truth, the ball's in your court. The holy spirit 's gonna help you. These guys gotta really do a lot of to try and disprove the preacher of rapture, to try and disprove a thousand year rule and reign of Jesus upon the earth, replacement theology. They I mean, they have a very difficult time presenting their case. And never have I ever heard anybody present a biblical argument to prove or to disprove the preacher of rapture. If their position's mid or post, I've never heard a guy. What they always do is they say, well, Darby, And, you know, the lady had it in in eighteen sixties or whatever. And and Rob and I were talking about a lot a lot of what's happened with Saint Augustine and with Martin Luther when we came or when the church in the early first three centuries, you know, they were premillennial, pre trib, and John the revelator, the apostle Paul, Jesus himself, you know, speaks of and teaches a pre trib rapture. But then at 03/13, when Constantine nationalized the church, the church was inundated with unbelievers. And so the church went to a strong Catholicism in a dominant role religiously and governmentally, and they began to squash. They began to press down the truth of the bible. They took the bible out of the hands of the people written in Koine Greek, and they began to persecute and prosecute anybody that would have a bible. So the early church fathers, if we look at that writing, we we see it's consistent with what how we believe, how we interpret. So it's not a reimagining with Darby and these guys as as a lot of the, post troopers like to like to point out. It's actually a rediscovery. It's a rediscovering the truths, of the early church because the papacy, and as I said, Saint Augustine and and Luther and others, they hated Israel, and they wanted the church to replace government, the church to replace everything. They were looking for a golden age, and, they suppressed the truth. And so that's what we have, what's called the dark ages or the Byzantine era. And yet God always has this remnant. He had the Waldensis' that have the what's called the received text, or the Byzantine text, the Texas Receptus, and the rap Eraspas, compiled what's known today as the received text over 5,000 extant manuscripts of a family of manuscripts that the King James Bible, comes from. The Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus were not used, weren't in circulation. So when Tischendorf found a a scroll at the Vatican in a in a trash can supposedly, and then they began these textual critics began to say, oh, this is older. Because it's older, it must be more reliable. Well, in fact, what it was, it wasn't used. It wasn't in circulation. It's like a bible that's on your coffee table that you don't read. A bible that's read is like this. It's falling apart. So that's why you have pieces of the bible Amen. You know, over 5,000 of them available in that first family of manuscripts. And that second family of manuscripts, the Codex, Vaticanus and Sinaiticus, a lot of the guys whipped out and they will say stuff like, In the oldest and most reliable manuscripts, Mark 16 is not in those manuscripts. Well, the late eighteen hundreds, a couple of guys came along named Westcott Court, and they were commissioned to remove the these and the thous of the 1611 King James, and they made 33,000 changes. And many of those changes affected the deity of Christ and the virgin birth and all these different things, and so unreliable in that sense. So you go down a slippery slope when you get away from the infallibility and inerrancy of the original manuscripts or the original documents. We know there's scribal errors in the King James. Been around long enough. We know where those errors are, and we we're not surprised by it. But the proliferation of Zondervan and all of these secular companies, and right now AI taking over the bible and rewriting the bible and and twisting stuff, we're gonna be very, very thankful if we have a bible and we've studied this bible. We know the with the strongest concordance and the treasury of scripture knowledge and lexicons and commentaries where we can where we can take this bible and make sure that that what's been passed on to us that we understand that it's not the word of men, but the word of God, and it's reliable. So when we're here in chapter 48, we need to look at this from a standpoint of an architect, the details that an architect would make as we've been studying the dimensions of the of the temple, what a city planner. God's the one that's gonna build the city, and what he's planning, the dimensions, the real dimensions, and then the 12 tribes. The 12 tribes that he's bringing in, and then he's gonna partition land for. And David as the prince, Jesus as king of kings and lord of lord, and David is prince. So two branches of government. One branch of government is the church side, and the other branch of government is the Israeli side. And and so it's it's literal. It's gonna happen. You're looking at the temple gonna be rebuilt, the third temple for the Antichrist. Jesus spoke with that, so he authenticates the the building of the third temple. We got people trying to build or or raise up red heifers so that the ashes of the red heifer could be used to clean and to purify all the different implements and everything, during the time of, of the tribulation period where, Judaism is reinaugurated, and the antichrist helping the nation do that. And so you I I just I just can't believe all the different, poor very, very, very, very poor, scholarship today, and it's gonna get worse with AI. Sometimes when you're arguing with people, they're gonna very quickly go onto the computer and ask AI questions, and AI is going to bring about, like, a Psalm 91, like the devil did with Jesus. It's gonna be close to the truth, but not quite there. And very few people are gonna recognize some of it's gonna be blatant in your face, but a lot of it's gonna be twisted just a bit. And somebody sent me one yesterday. I'm starting to see a bunch of them now. And, basically, the AI preachers are just telling everybody how good they are. There's no sin. And the guy quotes in the book of Genesis where God says, and it good. And then he applies that to you and me and all of us. God doesn't make John. You're good. He doesn't look at you as a sinner. He made you good. You know? And then we gotta you can't even go to the cross with that kind of stuff. You know? There's no need better, but it it intoxicates people that are wanting a feel good therapeutic approach, and that's what, that's what AI is going to capitalize upon. So so anyway, these are real tribes, the tribes of Israel, 12 offspring of of Jacob. And and so with, Rachel and Leah and then also their concubines, if we went back to Genesis. So now there are the names of the tribes from the North, so from the north end first of the area, to the coast of the way of Hephaan as one goes to Hamath, Haziranen, the border of Damascus, so near near the Syria area. So remember we talked last week, what we know today is Syria is gonna be a part of the geographical area of of of Israel and also that of Lebanon, the area of Gaza and all that. And it's so interesting that Damascus in Isaiah seventeen one through three, there's a prophecy that it would be made a ruinous heap. So it's it's one of the most ancient cities of all antiquity. Another one that's got my antennas up is Babylon to be rebuilt, literally. We're not gonna allegorize that. Many commentators allegorize Babylon as being America, an economic center of the world. Well, let's look at it literally that it's literally gonna be rebuilt in what we know today to be present day Iraq. And, it's not all there yet, but, our pastor, Andy Woods, is doing some good work on and showing how the canal system and the the port and the, just the transfer of goods and all from that region, is taking shape. And with Saudi Arabia and all the different things that are happening in the whole region, the the enormous amount of wealth that's gonna be generated in that area. And, so Damascus catches my eye, and I think of the apostle Paul, heading toward Damascus and the Lord arresting him in Acts chapter nine and, saving him. And so presently in Damascus, what's it like in Damascus now? Possibly a civil war coming in Syria, destabilization of a lot of different terrorist groups there and such. And, what's the solution there? Gonna be very interesting moving forward. Will Israel go and bomb Damascus and, you know, wipe it out and make it a ruinous heat? And if so, does that lead to Ezekiel thirty eight thirty nine? And so the border of Damascus northward. So in the millennium, Damascus is there to the coast of Hamath, for these are the sides east and west, a portion for Dan. So Revelation chapter seven, Dan is omitted because idolatry started in from the tribe of Dan in Genesis 49, sixteen, and seventeen, and Judges seventeen and eighteen. And so there was an omission that God and His grace and His mercy includes the tribe of Dan and also in Revelation seven. And so by the border of Dan from east side onto the west side, a portion for Asher. And by the border of Asher from the east side, even under the west side, a portion for Naphtali. And from the border of Naphtali on the east side, under the west side, a portion for Manasseh. So, Ephraim and Manasseh from Joseph. And by the border of Manasseh from the east side under the west side, a portion of Ephraim. So this is the one that's gonna go to Joseph. And by the border of Ephraim from the east side, even under the west side, a portion for Reuben, who was the firstborn, and he defiled his father's, concubine. And so he was he was, a judge. And by the border of Reuben from the east side, under the west side, a portion for Judah. And, Judah and Benjamin are gonna be closer to the, central area of the city, in that they were faithful under David, during the time of apostasy as Israel apostatized, and, they remained, faithful. And now, a portion of land for the sanctuary. In the border of Judah from the east side under the west side shall be, be the offering, which he shall offer a five and twenty thousand, needs in breadth and length as one of the other parts from the east side under the west side, and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it. And so this oblation, you'll keep seeing this this word oblation, oblation, oblation. And it says the word offering in Hebrew, is rendered oblation in verse nine in chapter 45 verse one. And like heave offering, identical Hebrew word denotes a presentation of the Lord alone. So, they're gonna make, oblations under the Lord there at the sanctuary. And so the ablation that ye shall offer under the Lord shall be a five and twenty thousand in length and 10 thousands in breath. So there's gonna be a certain portion there that's that's designated for the sanctuary area, and, it's for the Lord. Chapter 40 through 43, we saw that. And also in chapter 45, one through six, we looked at that. So now we come to the portion of land for the priests and the Levites. The sons of Zadok are gonna be the ones that serve the Lord. And why is that? Do you remember that? Because they were faithful unto David Oh. And the Levites were unfaithful. And so for them, even for the priests, shall be his holy ablation toward the North, five and twenty thousand in length toward the West, 10,000 in breadth toward the East, 10,000 in breadth and toward the South, five and twenty thousand in length and sanctuary of the Lord shall be in the midst of it, and shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, who have kept my charge, and who went not astray when the children of Israel went astray as the Levites went astray. So, God's got a good memory. The priests of Zadok, they were faithful, and so they get, rewarded. So, what is your position in the millennium? How is your position determined in the millennium? In Luke chapter 12, you know, or, your faithfulness now will determine where you serve the Lord in the millennium. That's what I think. So well done. Finish it well done. I'm good. And faithful servant. You've been Faithful and little. Over a few things. Few things. You will be Give it much. Make you ruler over much. Ruler over much. Yeah. Enter into the joy of the Lord. Right? Mhmm. And so God rewards faithfulness. He's not looking for every single one of us. Now, in Matthew 25, you know, you've got talents or an investment that God makes in each of our lives. It's not your singing talents or whatever that, although you you can offer that to the Lord, but it's an investment. It's a unit of value that he invests that he gives. And, some reinvest. And when you reinvest, the Lord wants to reward you with even more. When you take that investment, the gospel that he's given you and you just bury it, and you don't reinvest in the lives of others or serve the Lord with what he's invested for you, then he says, that's indicative of an unbeliever. They're gonna go to a place where there's weeping and gnashing of teeth, you know. So the the criteria, the apostle Paul, I'm talking concerning Timothy, that he's faithful, you know, that in servants, you're to be faithful. So we've been here thirty years in Bremerton, and we barely have numerically, you know, a church. Greg Laurie one time said at a a pastor's conference, if you don't if you've only got less than 50 people, you're not even a church. And, and I like to say, come up to Birmingham. Come up come up to the Northwest. Show me. You know? And, it's way different. So the the real objective is is faithfulness. And, if you're faithful with God given you, then there's gonna be a reward for you as you serve the Lord during the during the millennium. Kathy sometimes jokes and says, well, Rick, we're probably gonna be street sweepers in the millennium. You know? And I'm like, no. That's not true. You know? That's not true. We're gonna get a good gig. You know? We're gonna we're gonna have to we're gonna get a tropical island, you know, and collect coconuts for Jesus, you know, coconut milk or something. You know? But, it doesn't really matter. It'll be perfect for who he's who he's made us. As long as she lets me marry her in the millennium, I'm fine. You know? But, so faithfulness. You know, Rick, they're all millennials too. The ones that marry in heaven. Yeah. Why is that? Well, LDS just there's no rapture. Oh, LDS says that? Oh, no. We're not going there. No. Christ is I'm I'm saying I would start I would start with Jesus said you You know, they neither marry nor are given in marriage. That's where I'd start. But if she's if if heaven is better and I know her more intimately and better than I do now, why couldn't Jesus marry us if she's willing? And she says, no. That contract ends at death. You know? So it's over. But but, anyway, she'll be my closest sister and my closest friend. There you go. And that that'll be glorious. And so we'd be married to Jesus, and that's that's fine too. So we joke about it. But, but we have to we have to look at the example of the the the priests of Zadok and their faithfulness in a time of apostasy, and we have to ask ourselves, well, if numerically it's not happened because we're living in a time of apostasy, then God wants to reward Jeremiah in his effort, in his faithfulness for forty years, and maybe only one convert, you know, in that forty years. But he served his purpose as a witness of who God is and speaking the truth in the face of all the false prophets. So God may have called you to region or a place to continue to speak the truth as his witness that the false prophets be called on the carpet, you know, and that the people would be called on the carpet one day. They're gonna be judged Mhmm. For the word of God that was proclaimed, of what they did with it. And and so, really, the onus is upon them, not upon you because we, Jesus said, I'll build my church. So it's the Lord building the church. We're just to be faithful as his servants, as witnesses, and, and proclaim the gospel, proclaim the truth. And Charles Spurgeon had a school of ministry, and he had a church of around 10,000 people. He's known as the prince of preachers, and, huge, huge crowds of people would come. And so he's training up other pastors, and some of them began to mow bemoan the fact that they were, pastoring churches in the outlying area of London and, and that they were so small. And how many do you have? And, they ask you the pastor's company. That's another one. They say, how many are running? And I said, oh, a couple 100. And it's like, how long you've been there is the next question. I've been there about seven years. And in their mind, they had 200 the first night they met. You know? So it's like, you must be doing something wrong is is the intimation. You know? So you had to get past that, you know, for years. But Spurgeon told the guys, well, when you stand before God, it's a sober truth for you to have to answer for the souls of 50 people because God's going to judge the pastor and how he treated and how he fed the people. So you tie that in with acts chapter 20, and how did Paul address the Ephesian elders in that regard? Bernie? So if we tie that in acts 20 mark with Ezekiel three and Ezekiel 33, what was Paul's His exhortation to these pastors, these elders of Island that he was gonna leave the church of Ephesus unto, there was a warning there. Right? The sons of Zadok are faithful, God's rewarded them in the millennium. It carries over. So how can we, learn from those that have gone before us the importance of faithfulness? What did Paul tell the Ephesian elders? And my blood will not be on their blood won't be on their his hands. And that's and that's taken from Ezekiel three and Ezekiel 33 Mhmm. From the standpoint of being a watch man Mhmm. And giving them the full what? Full counsel of God. Full counsel of God. Mhmm. So if you give them the counsel Mhmm. And they sin, they're responsible for their sin. But if they're sinning and you don't warn them, then you're gonna be held accountable by God. Right? Mhmm. So this whole idea of the denial, and Rob's run into it a few times of, you know, have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them in Ephesians five eleven. So when we expose aberrant behavior like John the Baptist would, John the Baptist is gonna lose his head. Right? Mhmm. When we expose aberrant behavior that's inconsistent with God's word, first of all, what we do is we qualify the person. Now John the Baptist is telling unbelievers that living together outside of marriage is wrong. Mhmm. Okay? So God's law applies to them too, but that isn't that isn't really we can use the word of God to bring that conviction in that way. Mhmm. But how do we expect unbelievers to live? They're gonna live that way. But those that proclaim to be a Christian, Paul would say, in first Corinthians five, these two that are sleeping with each other, the man that had his father's wife, you have to qualify if they're a Christian. If if you say you're a believer, and if they say they're believers, then there's a whole other standard of behavior. So we don't allow people to get away with saying that they're born again lesbians or they're born again homosexuals or they're I'm a born again murderer. When I was in the school ministry, that's one of the things that came into the classroom with a with a counselor was these two people were having trouble in communication in their relationship. And how would you guys do that? And he's he's training us to counsel people. And, and then they come into your office and it's two women. And I says, well, doctor, I would counsel them to get saved, to repent of their sin and to get saved. And he said, oh, no. No. No. They're saved. So then I'm saying, we're we're talking here, born again lesbians. Is that what we're trying to trying to, you know, do here? And then when I said that, they said back to me, bunch of the guys, well, what difference is that than gluttony, being overweight like, you know, like I am? And and I'm like, no. Being overweight is is not the definition of gluttony. Gluttony is is eating, throwing up, and eating again, simply eating for pleasure. And so anyway, that I had to go and do some study on repentance and and what it means to be saved and where repentance comes into that and all. And but we see that trying to creep into the church today that we're to accept and tolerate sin. And if you question people's behavior today, they they say judge not, let you be judged, brother. And then they say you're critical. You're a hater. You're a bigot. You're a homophobe. And then they say this one, you're unloving. But Hebrews 12 tells us whom the Lord loves, he what? Chastens. It's the most loving thing to do. And the scripture is given to us. What's the purpose of the scripture? All scripture is given by inspiration of God as God breathed and is profitable for what? For doctrine. Doctrine. Teaching. And then what? Correction. Correction. What? Correction. So we're correcting. We're using the word god to correct wrong behavior. Right? And what else? For reproof correction for instruction in righteousness in righteousness that the man of god may be thoroughly equipped on every good work. Right? So you wanna equip people so they learn the right behavior. So be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. You may prove what is a good and acceptable and perfect will of God. So we're on the right track. Right? And the apostle Paul spent three years, night and day with tears. So he told these Ephesian elders, take heed over the flock which God has purchased with his blood. These are blood bought people. So take heed because it's a serious matter, and God's gonna hold you guys accountable if you don't, if you're unfaithful. And, so you'd be faithful to do what Jesus told Peter in John chapter 21. Peter, do you love me what? Feed my sheep. Feed the lambs? Yeah. Tend the lambs the lambs. And feed the sheep. Yeah. Three times. Right? So you got the little ones, fat ones, big ones, brown ones, whatever, skinny ones. The all shapes and sizes, all different ages. Doesn't matter. And and we're to we're to make them the most loved and the best fed sheep that we can. That's pastor Chuck used to say. And they they need to be teachable. If you do your job and they don't respond and they don't listen, now you got a ministry like Jeremiah. Now you got a ministry like Ezekiel. You got a ministry like many of the prophets who were sent to an generation, and the people didn't respond. They just didn't care. They did respond to the false prophets, and they love what the false prophets had to say. But the false prophets have no position here in the millennium. You know, you don't see them here. So the ones that are faithful, the Lord's rewarding, including the 12 apostles, who are gonna have thrones and rule and reign during the millennium in the 12 tribes here. And then you got David as prince and Jesus as king of kings and lord of lords, and you and I as kings and priests ruling and reigning during the millennium also in our new glorified bodies. And I don't know what your sphere of responsibility is gonna be, but, it's gonna be predicated based upon the beam of judgment based upon your faithfulness. God's gonna reward you for your faithfulness. And that's where it's really true, Rick, that we'll own nothing and we'll be happy. Own nothing and be happy. We will own something. We'll have some land. Right? We'll have some land. We'll have the richness of Christ? I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna bring my RV into the millennium. I I can't let it go. Oh, no. We're gonna have a house with a fig tree and some land and Key. And maybe maybe if you can think crazy, maybe we're gonna have the ability to leave the atmosphere and go on up to heaven and visit heaven, which Revelation twenty one and twenty two describes as suspended. You know? Suspended above the earth. The new heaven, new earth, New Jerusalem that's gonna come down out of the sky, the eternal state. And so the city that's there, the celestial city, you know, they're looking for a city whose builder and maker is god. And that would be really cool if we don't need, spacesuits and we're able to be caught up to the third heaven like Paul described the guy whether in the body or out of the body. And, that'd be fine with me. Jesus said I go to build a place for you. Right? And, so I like that. Alright. So in this ablation of the land that is offered shall be unto them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites. And beside the border of the priest, the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length and 10,000 in breadth. All the links shall be five and twenty thousand. The breadth, 10,000. Now can I interpret that allegorically, figuratively? I don't know how. How could I do that? Is it are these details are these details that God's giving in the city that that he's building? You know? If I'm gonna build a car, if I'm gonna build a house, I'm gonna build anything, there's specs. There's dimensions. There's this is this board's gotta be eight foot long. You know? It can't be eight foot two or it's gonna set everything off. You know? And and they shall not sell of it. So the Levites aren't gonna be able to sell this land, neither exchange nor alienate the first fruits of land for it is holy under the Lord. And the 5,000 that are left in the breath opposite the five and twenty thousand shall be a common place. So he's got a common area, a common ground area also. So you have a area for the priests to live around the city, a place for Zadok, a place, as we said, the Levites, and then you have a common area for the city for dwelling and for open fields, and the city shall be in the midst of it. So you're gonna you're gonna see like in verse 17, pasture lands. So you're gonna see the raising of sheep in the pasture lands around the city. Kathy talks about going to Italy and various places where they have very, very fresh food at farmers markets where people grow tomatoes and they're they're picked that day and they're brought to the market and people go and buy those tomatoes and those those vegetables that very day. If you've ever eating eaten fish or shrimp, you know, caught that day and then it gets grilled while it's fresh, it's totally different taste than the stuff that we eat. Right? So these guys are gonna have the best of the best. And organic in the millennium means organic. Today, organic doesn't mean organic. The laws are there to deceive us. And just as the pharmaceutical companies, get an immunity, now the growers of food, these corporations are getting immunity. So you don't even know what you're getting, as far as food goes. In the millennium, there's gonna be fruit trees. There's gonna be vegetables and crops and things grown and and livestock. There's gonna be meat, carnivores. So I'm really excited about that. So the 5,000 that are left in the breath opposite the five and the 20,000 shall be a common place for the city, for dwelling, and for open fields, and the city shall be in the midst of it. And these shall be the measure measure of it, the north side, 4,500, and so about 1.5 miles square, apparently. The south side, 4,500, and the east side, 4,500, and the west side, 4,500. So 1.5 miles square. And the pasture lands of the city shall be toward the north, 250, and toward the south, 250, and toward the east, 250, and toward the west, 250. So, again, details, strict details, literal details to be interpreted figuratively. Right, Rob? No. No? Literally. So what's an area of the bible, Rob, that we could interpret figuratively? Figuratively. Figuratively. You mentioned to me the other day. Jesus said I'm the door. No. Rob. Remember you were talking about the nation of Israel, Ezekiel thirty six and thirty seven, the valley of what? Oh, dry bones. Is that figurative or literal? Well Figuratively? Literal? Figuratively. Figuratively. It's a dry, dead bone region. Right? The nation of Israel, just the desert, and the Lord's gonna put the sinews, the blood, the everything, and bring it back alive. Right? Yeah. So it's figurative. Eventually, it can be literal. Right? But he's using he's using figurative language that we might get the picture. So Hosea twelve ten says the Lord speaks through the prophets, and he speaks through similitudes. Right? And those are word pictures. And, so sometimes, sometimes we get it. Other times, we see this is literal. This is you don't interpret this figuratively. This isn't figurative language. Some of the things that you'll see, that'll trigger that you know is when you read it, it'll say as or like, and there's a you know, it's speaking of figurative language in that case. And That's a mother hen. It's a mother hen. Yeah. Just gather her. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good one. Yeah. So the pictures yeah. I I could see that hand. Yeah. I could see that. Yeah. And Jesus did a lot of that. He did a lot of word pictures for the people to get it. You know? So if if easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for rich man in heaven. If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. Your eye causes and pluck it out. Am I able to interpret that figuratively or literally? Figuratively. Otherwise, there'd a lot of pirates out there. Right. Those are The one arm man. It's that one arm man. You can find that guy. That literal one arm guy. So but how do I interpret that? If if Jesus said if your eye causes sin, pluck it out, your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. Now AI and these crazies are gonna interpret this stuff really goofy. You know? So how would you interpret that? The eye gate. Something coming in through the eye gate that's causing me to sin. I need to cut that off, not cut my eye out. Right? Yeah. You see? Yeah. Your what your hands are doing. What what have you given your hands to do? Your hands to choke some guy. You know? Mischief. Mischief. Yeah. Hands are there for mischief. And but what if you're a thief and you're grabbing stuff, you know? Cut it off. And in some cultures, they take it literally, don't they? The guys walk around with their arms cut off, their hands cut off because they were caught as thieves. Right? You know? Or an eye for nine, a tooth for a tooth. People missing teeth and eyes, you know, for what they've done. Alright. So It was used to be. I used mean, in the bible days, you know, if somebody planks you, you can planks you back. They had cities of refuge that you had run to, so the avengers, the brothers, the members of the family couldn't avenge you. You know? So, yeah, it's it's, restitution in the law. You pay restitution, like Zacchaeus. Remember Zacchaeus when he's up in the tree? Zacchaeus I could sing the song. Zacchaeus was a wee little man. He climbed up in a tree. And then Jesus said, come down. I'm gonna eat your house today. And so what does Zacchaeus do as he's blown away that Jesus would come near an evil tax collector? Remember he talked about paying restitution? Yep. You know? Remember that? Yeah. And so he knew he knew in the law that, hey. I gotta I gotta give what I've stolen from people. I need to not only give give that back, but even more. And so alright. So we we and so another aspect of this is Genesis 22 where there's a literal father, there's a literal son, there's a command from God, take thy son, thine only son, you know, Isaac, all that Ishmael might live before you know Isaac, and Isaac shall they see be called. So Jesus said, Abraham rejoice to see my day, he saw it, he was glad. Paul said the gospel is before preached on Abraham. So we see that rock that followed them, first Corinthians 10, in the wilderness was Jesus, and Moses smoked that rock. He was supposed to speak to it the second time. Right? So back to the image in Genesis 22, you've got God the father, you've got God the son, and you've got Abraham the father gonna sacrifice his only begotten son. Right? And when God sees that Abraham won't withhold anything, and then we get the help of the Holy Spirit showing us in Hebrews 11 that Abraham knew that this is the only only avenue only avenue, not through not through Ishmael. We're not having another baby. I asked Kathy if she wanna have a baby too. And and so it reminded me. So so there's a ram caught in the thicket there. But the imagery there, the picture there is a a picture of the gospel, John three sixteen. Right? So if you are being touched by the holy spirit, you should read that. And at a certain point, especially if you're listening maybe Chuck Missler or some other good, what's one of the guys, starts with a z, does a real good we we call it typology. There are some commentators that have a real good handle on typology. So they'll go through the bible, and they'll show, things in typology that like, let me give you another another one. Let's say we're in Daniel chapter three, you and got Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the midst of the fiery furnace. In the typology, who is Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego representing going through the fire? Israel. Israel. Who represents the church that's not there? Daniel. Daniel. Yep. Because he's sometimes listen to miss learn listen to some of these guys. You know, they're students of typology. Now they're not necessarily discovering that. Like I said, there's there's, I I forget the name of the commentary I have. But there are commentaries where guys will help you with this kind of stuff. And Genesis three fifteen, the seed of the woman, shall be bruised, but shall crush the serpent's head. Again, that seed of the woman speaks of Jesus. Jesus. Not a actual seed in the ground. Seed, singular. The virgin born son of God. Right? The woman's seed. Yeah. Yep. And then his heel bruised. How would you apply that? Crucified. Crucified. Mhmm. Press the serpent's head. How do you apply that? Triumphing over the Resurrection. Oh. Oh, yeah. Resurrection. Right? Yep. And you tie that in with Colossians, he spoiled all principalities and powers triumphing over them. Right? Mhmm. So you when Adam and Eve were leaving the garden, first trying fig leaves, what's that represent? Covering your own sin without Yeah. A religious effort to cover your sin. God says no. When you see them leaving with coats of skins, what's that represent? Blood. It needed blood. Blood. Without the shedding of blood, there's no remission of sin. Right? Mhmm. It's impossible that the blood of bulls and bullocks can take away sin. So it's a type of the kaphar, the atonement, the covering of sin until one day future, John the Baptist says, behold the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. So the old testament people are saved by grace through faith just like we are by looking future that one day Jesus, God's only begotten son, will become the lamb of God who takes away the sins of world. Some people have that understanding in the old testament because they're in fellowship. Enoch walked with God and was not. You know? Yeah. They're in fellowship with God. And so even today, there are people that don't have a clue. They don't have a clue. It it doesn't connect. It doesn't work for them because in many cases, they're not born again, and they haven't been taught the word of God. Then there's other people that are kooky that, say a blood red moon means something. And it doesn't mean anything except it's a blood red moon. You know? Quit trying to apply that to the bible, to Joel two. You know? Read the verses before that. You know? Read the verses after it. And, and when it doesn't happen, they don't give all the money back for all the books that people, you know, bought and all that. And during the tribulation period when the moon is blood red, couldn't not be the smoke. You ever seen the smoke go everywhere? Mhmm. The cataclysms of wars and fires and the whole thing and, you know, the sun is blocked out. You know? So supernaturally, could be blocked out, but also, simply from, smoke and or Bill Gates dimming the sun. He's gonna dim the sun in Europe. You know? Alright. Yeah. Any other ideas? Or So so during the Ezekiel explains all the different sacrifices that are going on. So why why does blood have to be shed during the millennium? So we're gonna go by way of review. It's a good question. That's one that comes up. So we from Arnold Frutkenbaum, I learned so he's the guy that I learned this from. Four reasons, four purposes of the kingdom system. It's not the mosaic system, although it entails some of the mosaic, system, features, but it's the kingdom system. So number one, it says a memorial. So when we partake in communion, this do in remembrance of me. So there can be people, Gentiles, repopulating the planet during the millennium. And according to Isaiah chapter 65 verse 20 is it sixty five twenty? Isaiah sixty five twenty. So I wanna read that. Somebody there? Yep. There shall be no more in it. An infinite days Stop right there. No more in an infinite days, so no more infant deaths. K? These people go ahead. Nor an old man that has not filled his days. For the the child shall die a 100 years old, but the sinner being a 100 years old shall be accursed. Okay. So, again, according to Arne Fruchenbaum, Arnold, some of the commentators will catch this, some won't. During the millennium, when Jesus returns, twelve hundred and sixty days after the abomination of desolation, which is the midpoint of the tribulation period, Jesus returns to earth, literally. And there's a seventy five day interval according to Daniel 12. Blessed seed becomes to the thirteen hundred and thirty fifth day. So there's a seventy five day interval. Matthew 25, Jesus gonna judge the sheep and the goats. The sheep and the goats are indicative of Gentiles Figured it. Who have well, literal. Yeah. Figured it. You got me there. Gentiles who treated Israel good are indicative of believers. I was hungry. You fed me. I was thirsty. You gave me drink. I was naked, and you gave me clothes. I was in the hospital in prison, and you visited me. Okay? When shall we be? And as much as you've done at least of these my brethren, speaking of the Jews, you've done it unto me. So those are Gentile believers that made it through the tribulation period without the mark of the beast. Somehow they made it through, and they're gonna go into the millennium. And these are believers, and they're gonna be the people that marry and begin to have children. The Jews that go into the millennium, all of them are believers. They're all believers, and they, like us, are gonna have their new glorified bodies. And we neither marry nor given in marriage. You know, us guys, we're not procreating in having kids and all that. It's the Gentiles that are. Now they have till they're a 100 years old to receive the children of those Gentiles that go in have till they're a 100 years old to receive Christ or not. And if they don't at a 100 years, they're accursed. So it gets worse when you go to the end of the thousand years because Satan's loosed, and you've got these Gentiles with cities all over the planet. It looks like armies too. And they got some to wanna fight with, and they want to come against God. And so the Lord puts fire down, destroys them, takes the devil, and puts him into the lake of fire where the beast and the false prophet are. And then we have the revelation twenty one and twenty two, the eternal state after that. Peter says, the earth is gonna be destroyed by fire. So he burns us all up and starts over there. So so for those people, it's a memorial. You're pointing them back just as we talked about Adam and Eve, pointing them future. And just as you and I are looking back to the cross and our belief that Jesus was crucified, buried, raised from the dead, ascended the right hand of the father, and coming again, that trust and belief that we have is imputed to us for righteousness, that's the gospel. So to these guys looking back that believe and and they have the advantage of Jesus in Zion. And every year, they gotta go for the feast of trumpets. Otherwise, in Zechariah chapter fourteen, two things won't happen, and we'll get that in a second. But so number one is memorial. And you can take your kids to church all the time, partake, commune, and all that. Some just don't believe. Secondly, fellowship of the saints. First John one nine, if we confess our sin, he's faithful and just and forgives us our sin and cleanses of all righteousness. There's gonna be sin in the millennium. So part of the sacrificial system is the acknowledgment that you're a sinner and, you know, calling upon the name of the Lord. And it's not sin for it's not washing and cleansing for salvation. It's washing and cleansing from the standpoint of restoration of fellowship. So Chuck Messer calls first John one nine the Christian bar of soap. So if we confess our sin, he's faithful and just to forgive us of our sin and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness. Doesn't mean I keep getting saved like the Pentecostal churches do every week because they lost their salvation. Right? It just means that I said I'm out of fellowship with God. And and I also know before I go offer something to God's throne, if I know that a brother has ought against me, I go and make it right with him because, again, fellowship needs to be restored. Amen. So question. If there's sin in the millennium That's a heavy thing. Wrong. How how can there okay. So how could there be more Okay. If there's sin in the millennium, how can it be a thousand years of peace? He's ruling and reigning when the rod arises, and he snuffs out the devil and those people that are trying to rebel immediately. Okay. But there is sin, and sin is is not just the action, but even in the heart. Yeah. In the heart. If I look upon a woman with lust, I'm an adulterer. If I'm angry with my brother, I'm a murderer. But you know how the devil is a counterfeit, he's desiring precrines? He's desiring the ability of omniscience, and he's gonna use his cameras, and he's gonna use his AI intel to look at all your patterns online and everything and determine that you're gonna kill him next week. Right? I'm gonna do report. They're gonna try and Yep. You know, no divorce, but no divorce, but I will kill you. You know? But the but imagine the Lord ruling and reigning from Zion Mhmm. And he's on mission. And he just says, hey. This this idiot over here is gonna try and snatch your kid. Go throw him away. You know? Throw him like a fire. You know, I would. And that's how I do it. But nobody's gonna be able to get away with anything, but yet there's free will exposing them. You know? So if we go to Isaiah 11, even the curse is reversed. Right? Because you've got the animal life in harmony with each other. So we quote that, the wolf and the lion, a little child leading them, you know, lying down. So and even a child near an adder's den, which is a snake hole, poisonous snake in Australia. Your kids are playing out in the grass. You don't need to worry about the king cobra, you know, slamming them. So there's harmony, and yet there's still sin in the hearts of man, in the hearts of those Gentiles that are being repopulating the planet. But they got a hundred years, Ray. I know. I know. So They got a hundred. Years to make mistakes before they So look at Genesis six. How old were the people in Genesis six where the Lord said it repented thee that he had made man because the thoughts and intents of man's own heart were only evil continually. Yeah. It doesn't take very long. Yeah. Right? And had he not baffled the languages in chapter ten eleven at Babel, he basically said that anything can be possible for these guys, you know, in their demonic activity, in their age, in in accumulating demonic information, occult information. And I recently heard that Google had said that when they were talking to AI, that demons were, coming forth with, like, hieroglyphics and a language that none of these guys even knew of, that only demons would know these symbols and stuff of a of a language of antiquity. So, Jesus, we know who you are. Have you come to torment us before our time? Who are you? We're legion for many. We don't wanna be unin unembodied spirits. You know. Let us go into those pigs. And the pigs go and they come over the thing. So the image of the beast, this artificial intelligence, you know, what kind of counterfeit is being manifested that it has life, life is given to it. You know what I mean? And so this AI technology, Steve Quail coined the phrase that it's not artificial intelligence, it's alien intelligence. And this alien intelligence is gonna continue to attack God and say that aliens created this planet. You know what I mean? And people are gonna believe it. You know? So it's it's way above it's thought provoking. So number one, memorial. Number two, fellowship with the saints. Number three, a ritual cleansing, a cleansing of the temple, a cleansing of the area, God's holy. So an emphasis upon people understanding how holy God is. The priests would wear linen, prescribe washing and cleansing and getting ready because God's holy. And and fourthly, gonna be a theocratic rule, and I like this one. If you want to be blessed in the millennium, you need to obey Jesus. So these offerings and the feast, particularly the feast of tabernacles, it says in Zechariah fourteen sixteen through 21, if these nations don't come to Jerusalem year by year for the feast of tabernacles and Passover, there won't be any rain where they live. There won't be any there will be a plague. So part of doing the feast and making these offerings is a means of obedience to the king. Ain't that fascinating? Yeah. And if you don't go, you're sitting. And there's gonna be consequences. I never knew this stuff. This is like it's like we normally just gloss over the teaching on the millennium. You know? I I was of the opinion because the curse is reversed. There's there can't be any more sin. The curse is reversed. Right? Yeah. Right? Mhmm. But Satan being loosed after a thousand years Yeah. That's a whole lot of sin going on, and it reveals the heart of man, the free will of man. Yeah. Right? It's so bizarre. I don't know how those 100 year old kids multiply so big over the next nine hundred years. You know? But with compound compound interest. Alright. So those that's the purpose of Vicky's question and, best best we've come up with. And so this is a literal dimensions, details, great details. And the resident, the length along of the ablation of the holy portion shall be 10,000 eastward, 10,000 westward, and it shall be next to the ablation of the holy portion and increase of it shall be for food under those who serve the law serve the city. So the servants that serve in the city are gonna have a little far farms, gardens, livestock being raised, barbecues outside and stuff, and got food for the servants, plenty of food for everybody. Nobody's gonna starve. Everywhere gonna be food. And those who serve the city shall serve it out of of all the tribes of Israel. And the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand. He shall offer the holy oblation foursquare with with the possession of the city. And now we come to the portion concerning David, David the prince. Isn't that fascinating that in the divine covenant that God made with David, David wanted to build God a house, and God said, David, I'm gonna build you a house. I'm build you a dynasty. And this dynasty, the tribe of Judah extends into the millennium. So Jesus is king of kings and lord of lords. And according to Ezekiel thirty four twenty four, there's no doubt who this is. It's David, the prince. And Ezekiel 45, seven and eight. So you don't need to you don't need to doubt and say, no, this is Jesus. No. This is not Jesus, it's David. And Jesus is the root and the offspring of David. Yeah. The root, the source, offspring from a human standpoint, lineage wise. So the residue shall be for the prince on the one side and on the other, the holy ablation of the possession of the city in front of the five and twenty thousand of the ablation toward, the east border and westward in front of the five and twenty thousand toward the west border parallel to the portion of it shall be for the prince, and it shall be the holy ablation, and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst of it. So centralized. Moreover, from the possession of the Levites and from the possession of the city being in the midst of that, which is the princes between the border of Judah. So notice Judah and Benjamin get to be centralized near David, where David's portion is, and the border of Benjamin shall be for the prince. So we saw the seven northern tribes and their portion. Now we come to the five southern tribes and their portion. Verse 23. As for the rest of the tribes from the east side under the west side, Benjamin shall be shall have a portion. And the border of Benjamin from the east side under the west side, Simeon shall be shall have a portion. And by the border of Simeon from the east side under the West Side, Issachar. And the sons of Issachar, why were they so special, Mark? They had an understanding of the times. They had an understanding of the times in which they're living. They know what Israel should do. Right. And God commended them for that. And so I like to tie that in with Gehazi. Elisha saying to him in second Kings five, is this a time? Mhmm. You know, sometimes it's a time to build a house, plant a garden, right, to get some Babylonian garments because you're going out dancing gay. Is that right? Get some gold. Get some silver from Naaman the Syrian who's leprous. Right? Mhmm. But Elisha said, is this a time? And what kind of time were they living in? Time of apostasy. Yep. Is this a time? You gotta know what time you're living in. I don't think people know the time today, what time it is, the prophetic time clock. Right. I think people are really confused, and we're trying so hard to get them ready because Jesus said, when you see these things begin to come to pass, look up for redemption draws nigh. They they misconstrued and think that's doom and gloom. They don't wanna let go of the world. They're holding on like that monkey to the rice, man. They're gonna die. They gotta let go. Right? And it's just so sad. They lack the sermon. They make things up, and and they're lying to themselves and riding broad daylight. These things are happening. It's not even hidden anymore, but they don't see it. They can't see it. Blind leading the blind. And we're rejoicing because it's the beast system being formed, and the beast system, the one world economic systems being formed right before my eyes. In the house of Abraham, the one world religious systems being formed, and the one world government the governments of the world are imploding, and they're gonna bring forth 10 kings. Right? Yep. Yep. And it's happening. They're talking about it. And there's no millennia. There's a golden age coming. Get your pockets bigger, the president tells him. You're gonna all be rich. What could be more intoxicating than to appeal to a covetous church than to tell them they're all gonna get rich? So you use the carrot and the stick. The carrot is go along with me, get a digital ID, go along with me a digital currency, which means even in the interim, if you go with a crypto, bunch of different cryptos, you've given up your dollar. So at first, you could actually seemingly on paper look like, oh, I just made some money. But it's just paper. It's gonna go bye bye. Because when they bring in the centralized digital system, there's no going back to your dollar. So the carrot and the stick, and as Catherine Austin fifth calls it, it's a it's a unwalled concentration camp. Everything you do is tracked and traced and monitored. And they're building these huge data centers, Meta, Zuckerberg down in Georgia right now, and all over the country, they're gonna be building the all over the world, these data centers to to process all of the data. And they need they need an energy source, so they're gonna use small nuclear reactors, basal gates in these guys like you use in your submarine to power these data centers. And down in Georgia, I saw where the people were saying, we don't have any water pressure. Zuckerberg took it because he needs water to cool all of the the computers and everything they have in these huge data centers, and it's just getting started. And and you when when you when you look at Palantir and Peter Thiel and you you look at what's happening last week where where we're gonna have a new digital digital data system that Palantir is gonna develop where every single American's gonna be put into the system. It's so ingenious. Today, the people are saying Alex Jones is saying, it's needed because we had such corruption in the last voting. Well, don't you think they did it on purpose? Ruined the voting, stole the votes, stole the thing so that, hey, the solution is we need to find out who the real Americans are. Well, that's idiocy because you allowed a guy from Kenya to become your president. You know? You never held him accountable. It's just it's mind boggling idiocy the way that people but the carrot is people are drinking the Kool Aid and they're radically radically idolatrous toward this promise of a golden age. And we're gonna usher in the golden age by the church taking over government, the church taking over the world, and then Jesus will come back. That's what they're that's what all millennialism is. Right? And Paula White and this whole group are are providing a false hope to people. They're taking on the hope, and and Trump's leading it. And I I told the people Sunday, I said, you know, I was gonna put I told you so, but I didn't do that. I I let you know where I learned a lot of this, and that's from Whitney Webb. Yeah. Because she's an investigative journalist, and she did her due diligence. I don't know if any of the spiritual leaders in America I mean, how can I trust the guy that says to me even Jesus would take the job? Right. I I trust the guy like that. You know? And then he has heart surgery after that. But nobody ever comes back and says, hey. You know, Warp Speed Donnie. Remember Warp Speed Donnie did? No. Nobody nobody ever go wants to be honest enough to go back there. And all we're saying is Jesus is coming again to set up his kingdom. Rapture's coming. Get ready. Look up. Look at the signs around it. Look at the birth pangs. And only 2% of the pastors teach prophecy. Only 2%. And then people say, well, you guys sure are proud about it. You think everybody else that doesn't teach prophecy is a bad Christian. No. We don't. We think you're missing out. And not only that, we just wanna quote you what Jesus said. Watch. Just watch. Don't let it take you unaware. You know? So it's not us saying it's Jesus saying it, and it's the blessed hope, Titus two thirteen. So so it's just mind boggling to to see the times we're living in of apostasy. And and so we need to really cherish the fellowship that we get to enjoy with like minded people because it's there's fewer and fewer. And and it's not that we're better than anybody. Jammer Kelso's or the remnant church, whatever. There's so many people perishing. There's so many people living in darkness and being deceived, and I'm already watching people melt down. I'm already watching them unable to handle what's happening now. And I just can't imagine what it's gonna be like when the economy is imploded. So what's what's the the purpose of Christians wanting to know this information and bringing that the the the things that we've just talked about into our into our world. Well, part of it, I like what Peter says, be able to give an answer to every man of the hope that's within you with meekness and fear. So what's my hope? What am I putting my hope in? Am I putting my hope in this present government? Am I putting my hope in a golden age, Paula White's golden age that she's selling? No. That's that's heresy. So the reason of my hope is prophecy. I have the more sure word of prophecy that has a road map of where we're going with 100% accuracy. And because of that that the accuracy and because it's God's word, he's telling me ahead of time what's coming, my hope is not in this world or this world system. My hope is in the promises being fulfilled. So if somebody sees me that I'm not like like, I read where 20 year olds, young people right now are having to admit themselves to the ER. Have you ever heard of such a thing? Because of anxiety. Yeah. Because of because of suicidal thoughts and anxiety and panic attacks. Yeah. Were you like that when you were 16, 17, 18? No. We didn't have a cure in the world. Right? What are you talking about? But for me, as an adult, yeah, it's a little bit different. I I I have a responsibility to shepherd this little flock, take care of people, whatever, take care of my family. And but I'm not filled with anxiety. Yeah. Because I know the playbook. I know where we're going. So if if we get nuked today, if nukes start playing, my prayer is that they nuke banger because we're going home. Right? Right. Bring it on. You I'm know, not worried about war. You know? Kathy and I always talk about being really careful because we don't wanna get in a car accident and be drinking through a straw. You know? But to get in a car accident and die, we're not afraid of that. You know? So we're careful because we we you know, the devil would keep us alive to drink through a straw. That'd just be horrible. You know? So Sounds like a I'm ready to go. Today. I'm ready to go. You know? But but if people are melting down already, what is it that's getting in their head? What's happening? And and our God's a God of peace. You know? And be anxious for nothing, but in everything through prayer and supplication with thanksgiving that your request be be known unto God. The peace of God would surpass all understanding, gonna guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus. So if anxiety or worry tries to get me, I take that thought captive, and I bring it to the obedience of Christ, then I meditate upon God's word. And what's really exciting is rather than being bummed out about the economy crashing and knowing they're gonna trick people into the digital, I'm looking ahead of that to Revelation thirteen sixteen through 18 that no man's gonna be able to buy or sell without a mark on the right hand of their forehead. So I'm gonna be able to explain that to the unbeliever. Do you know where this is going? Do you know where this is going? This is leading toward the beast system, which is a epoch of time of just seven years. Now you don't have to be here for that if you get bring Christ into your heart, then you share the gospel. Right? Amen. And we're not subject under his wrath. You don't wanna be left behind, do you? You know? You don't wanna be left here. And so that's why I get excited about prophecy because the testimony of Jesus' spirit of prophecy. And the more sure word of prophecy means it's a greater evidence, greater proof text than eyewitness testimony. Because Peter said we're on the Mount Of Transfiguration, and we touched them. We handled them. And we saw them after the after the resurrection. So we're telling in the courtroom of law, he's raised from the dead, and he fulfilled 300 prophecies. And he ascended after forty days up to heaven, and he said, he promised us, he's coming again. Amen. Why should I act like that's not a promise? Let not your heart be troubled. Do you believe in God? Believe also me. My father's house are many mansions, many dwelling places that weren't. So I tell you, I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again that where I am there, you may be all. Is that allegorical? Has that already happened in seventy AD? Is Is it not gonna happen? You know? Come on. Jesus himself is pretrib, and he's telling me it. You know? This guy, you guys, I just they're just Yeah. So that's that's why I get excited about it. And but I also I cherish every day that I have. I told my daughter and son-in-law today the Three things that are the most important thing in my life is obviously my relationship with the Lord, but but my family. Mhmm. Being able to spend time with my family is a treasure. Amen. Number two, time. I have time to study the Bible, to pray. I have time to be with my family. That's everybody that's rich wants to retire, and they want time because they have no time. Right. They work every minute of every day, and they're busy every when you have time and the third one is health. When you have time and health and a purpose in life to serve the Lord, man, you're rich, dude. Yeah. You know? You're rich. Amen. Thanks, man. And that's that's how I approach the day is Matthew six. This day, seize this day. And so tomorrow, the Lord will the Lord will deal with it. Alright. So you got David here, and, we could go into the whole thing about David. We already did that before. And, so moreover from the possession of the Levites, some of the best sassers, the city being in the midst of it, which is the princess between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin shall be for the priest. So you got Benjamin, you got Simeon, you got Issachar down in verse 25 portion, and then you've got to the border of Issachar from the east side of the west side to Zebulun portion. And from the border of Zebulun from the east side to the west side, Gadah portion. And by the border of Gad at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar under the waters of Meriboth Kadesh, which is the waters of strife, Kadesh Barnea, and and the river toward the Great Sea, be the Mediterranean Sea. So this is the land which he shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are the portions, saith the Lord. So replacement theology, I don't think so. They were disciplined by God and diaspora spread all over the world, and God miraculously drew them back into the land, 05/14/1948. And when Jesus said, this generation that sees these things, all these things come to pass, this generation sees I believe it's the generations in the tribulation period. I'm not gonna do the forty eight, three score and ten, ten more, or eighty years out there from '19. No. The generation of Jews who are alive during the tribulation period, all these things from Revelation chapter six Yeah. To 20 are gonna be fulfilled or 19 gonna be fulfilled as that generation sees it. And and so it's it's it's a miraculous. So notice the gates now. Each tribe's gonna have a gate. And typically, cities with walls don't have a lot of gates. You know? And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel. So one gate, a name of each tribe, and there's gonna be thrones with each of the apostles also when we get into Revelation 21. So gates of the city shall be after the name of the tribes of Israel, three gates northward, one gate of Reuben, and Reuben's the firstborn, one gate of Judah, which is the royal tribe, one gate of Levi, the priestly tribe, and you've got Leah, mother of them. And at East side, 4,000, you know, the 500 measures and three gates into the one gate of Joseph from Rachel. She had two kids, Joseph and Benjamin. Benjamin, the son of my right hand, and she died in Bethlehem and given birth to Benjamin. You got Joseph, the son of many colors. The one at 17 went to Egypt, 30 years old, the type of Christ. And, so Joseph, one gate, and then Benjamin, one gate. And then Dan is through the concubine, Bilal. And at the south side, 4,500 measures and three gates, one gate of Simeon and of Issachar and the gate of Zebulun from Leah. And at the west side, 4,500 measures, with their three gates, one gate of Gad, from Zilpah, one gate of Asher, and one gate of Naphtali from Bela. So those are the 12 tribes, 12 gates, portion a lot of them. Now here in verse 35, watch this. It was round about 18,000 measures. Notice the name of the city from that day shall be the Lord is there. Amen. Amen. So the city, it has a name change. What's Jerusalem mean? City of peace. City of peace? And who was Melchizedek? King of peace? Jerusalem. Right? Salem. Salem. King of Salem. So Shalom, city of peace. So here you have Jehovah Shammah, and this is the name of the city. The Lord is there. Where do you wanna live? I wanna live where the Lord is. Amen. And I don't I don't wanna relationship the two coming together and being one unless the Lord's in the midst of that relationship. Amen. I want a home that the Lord is at home in my heart. Right? I don't wanna be in the church to put Jesus outside the church. Revelation three twenty, Jesus knocking on the door saying, let me in. Right? And now in Ezekiel chapter 10 verse 18 and also in chapter 11, we have what's called Ichabod. Remember what Ichabod means? The glory of the Lord is departed. Departed. Departure. Right? Mhmm. And, we saw where he returns, the Shekinah glory returns in Ezekiel, think it's 11 or three verse five or forty three five, the glory of the Lord returns. And here we have, the Lord is there. The glory of the Lord, the Lord Jesus, and the city gets a new name. Now what in Ezekiel forty eight thirty five, Jehovah Shammah, the Lord is there, the Lord is present. Who wants Exodus seventeen eight through 15? What's Jehovah Nissi mean? Jehovah? Would you say Exodus seven? Yeah. Exodus seventeen eight through 15. Jehovah Nissi Nissi. Who wants Psalm twenty three one? I'll take that one. K. Who wants Genesis twenty two thirteen fourteen? Vicky's got that song down. I'll do it then. K. Exodus fifteen twenty six. Fifteen twenty fifteen twenty six. Thomas, how about you? Exodus 26 No. Fifteen twenty six. The less the Lexic, you guy. Exodus fifteen twenty six. It's okay. Wait. Wait. Just wait. Fifteen twenty six. The cameras aren't on you yet. Wait, buddy. Alright. And, Jeremiah twenty three six. I'll do it. Okay. And then Judges six twenty four. Okay. Okay. Praise the Lord. Amen. Alright. So here we have we start out with Exodus forty eight thirty five. Jehovah Shammah, the Lord is present or the Lord is there. The next one is Exodus seventeen eight through 15. Who has the first one? I don't have the first one. I have the second one. Oh. I picked the long one. Exodus seventeen eighteen fifteen? Yeah. That's you? Oh, I thought you said one before that. Okay. So Oh, Rob. It's we're right next to that speaker. That's the Lord has departed right there. And my ears. Let me turn this way. Okay. Exodus seventeen eight. Then came Amalek and fought with Israel in Rephidim. And Moses said to Joshua, choose us out men and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow, I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand. So Joshua did as Moses said to him and fought with Amalek, and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. And it came to pass when Moses held up his hand that Israel prevailed. And when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses' hands were heavy, and they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat thereon. And Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on one side and the other on the other side, and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. And Joshua discomforted Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. And the Lord said to Moses, write this for a memorial in the book and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua, for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. And Moses built an altar and called the name of it Jehovah Nissi, the Lord is my banner. There you go. Amen. The Lord is my banner. And then we've got Psalm 23 verse one. What's that? The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. And that's Jehovah Raha. The Lord is my shepherd. Thank you. And Vicky's gonna sing this one. Genesis 22, thirteen, and fourteen. Jehovah Jireh. Jehovah Jireh. Jehovah Jireh, My provider for me. Come on, ladies. For Jehovah Jireh. That's it. My provider. The Lord is sufficient for me. Ain't that great? That's it. So do I need to sing it? No. Just do it. Good. That's like yeah. Alright. Exodus fifteen twenty six, Jehovah Rapha. Wait. Hold it. Exodus fifteen twenty six. Hold it. Hold on. Hold on. Let me get over there. It seems like I'm There's more Hold on. It says there's something before that. I don't know. Okay. And said, that means there's something before that. If thou wilt diligently hearken to my to the voice of the Lord thy God and wilt do that which is right in his sight and wilt give ear to his commandments and keep all his statues, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians, for I am the Lord that healeth thee. The Lord. Yep. God who heals. Lord who healeth thee. What's the Hebrew for that? Jehovah Rapha. Jehovah Rapha? Okay. Jeremiah twenty three six. Jehovah. Oh, wow. I don't know that I knew that. You know it. I'm not saying it right. Sid's. Yeah. 236. I I just make it up as I go. No. How do I know Hebrew? Jeremiah twenty three six. In his days, Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. This is the name he will be called. The Lord is our righteousness. See, the Lord is our portion. The Lord is our righteousness. Right? Amen. The Lord is the one who heals. The Lord is the one who provides. The Lord is my peace. Right? Mhmm. Okay. Let's see. Judges six twenty four. Jehovah Shalom. I'm coming away. Come and see. Judges six twenty four, then Gideon built an altar there unto the Lord and called it Jehovah Shalom. Shalom. And to this day, it is yet in of the Abyssia Abyssarites. Alright. Thanks. So the Lord is our peace. Okay. So now we're gonna look at the city a little bit more in the Psalms, in Isaiah, and in the book of Revelation. So we saw where there's 12 gates, and then in Revelation twenty one twelve through 14, and it had a great wall high in 12 gates, and the gates 12 angels, and the names written on the gates, which are the names of the 12 tribes of the children of Israel. And on the East three gates, on the North three gates, on the South three gates, and the West three gates, and the wall of the city had 12 foundations, and in them the names of the 12 apostles of the lamb. That's the new heaven, the new Jerusalem, in Revelation 21. And then as far as the Lord, the Lord is there, Revelation 21 verse three says, and I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people. And God himself shall be with them and be their God. Now when can you think there's another time when the Lord dwelt among us? John one verse 14. Right. And the word became flesh and tabernacle were dwelt among us. Right? Among us. So Pilate says, what is truth? Incarnate truth is standing right in front of me. Yeah. Right? You know, what is truth? Okay. So the city of peace or city of niceness. Jeremiah thirty three sixteen. Who wants that? City of righteousness. Now think of all the cities of the world. Is there any city like Zion, like Jerusalem? No. All over the world, doesn't matter if it's London or LA or wherever it is, for some reason, everyone, according to Zechariah 12, is gonna be against Jerusalem, against the Jews. Right? Mhmm. The whole world's gonna be against them. There's no I mean, what what is it, the hatred? Why why when when when you're hated, Jesus wants you to know if they've hated me, they're gonna hate you. You're in good company. If the world likes you, Jesus said, well, you and all men speak well of you. That's right. There's something wrong when everybody likes you because you're playing the politician. Right? But the devil hates more than anything else is that you're a truth teller, that you speak the truth. Yep. Boy, the devil hates being exposed. He just hates it. And our greatest weapon is truth, and his greatest weapon is Lies. Deception. Lies. Mhmm. Mhmm. So it's it's just it's so amazing how crazy people get and the devil gets when when you proclaim the truth. Just simply proclaim the word of God. This is what the word of God says. Okay. Alright. Psalm forty eight one through three. Oh, not Jeremiah 30 oh. Well, well, Jeremiah, I'm giving some verses out. So Jeremiah thirty three sixteen. Who wants that? Vicky? Yeah. Okay. Oh. Psalm forty eight one through three. Vagi? 48. And then verse 11 also. What's he saying? Oh, I'd like for you to do Psalm 48. Psalm One through three and then also verse 11. And might as well do eleven, twelve, 13. Yeah. There you go. K. And then, Psalm eighty seven one through seven. 87. I'll do it. And pay close attention to verse two and verse three when you read that. Psalm one twenty two one through nine. I'll take it. Okay. And the emphasis on peace, city of peace. Okay? Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Right? Mhmm. Psalm one forty seven. Two and three. What's that? One forty seven. 47. Two and three. One forty seven, two and and three. Three. Yep. Twelve and fourteen and 15. Remember that? I wrote it down. Okay. Yes. You did. Isaiah one twenty six and twenty seven. Okay, Steve. Isaiah four three through six. I'll do that one. Okay. Isaiah 1432. I'll do that one. Okay. Last one. Isaiah 521 through 10. 1 through 10. I'll do it. Alright. And then Did you say Isaiah? Oh, baby. 52110. Yeah. Alright. Alright. Write it down. Don't make me tell you again. I was I that's alright. Write it down fast. Alright. Jeremiah 3316. Write it down. Right here. Steve's doing it. Jeremiah 3316. It first? Steve's doing it. Yep. Steve has it first. Steve's doing it first. Okey dokey. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely. And this is the name where it wherewith she shall be called, the Lord our righteousness. Amen. Great? Hallelujah. Isn't that great? Yeah. The Lord is there. The Lord our righteousness. I love that. And it says there it's in Jerusalem. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. Same place. It just calls it Zion, Jerusalem, and the name change here, Jehovah Shammah. The Lord is there. Yep. And let's see. We're at Psalm forty eight one through three. Who's got that? Forty eight one through three. Oh, Benjie. Benjie. And also verse 11. Great is the Lord and most holy of praise in the city of our God, his holy mountain. It is beautiful in his loftiness, the joy of the whole earth. Like the almost high is the Mount Zion in the city of the great king. God is in her citadels. He has shown himself to be her fortress. Mount Zion rejoices. The villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments. So the city of the great king, Mount Zion. People are rejoicing. It's a beautiful city. Sure do. Wanna go on the Israel trip now? I do. Alright. So I'm eighty seven one through seven. Over here. Bernie. Bernie. Close attention to verse two and verse three. Read first seven verses. His foundation is in the holy mountains. The Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of you, oh city of God. City of God. I will make mention of Rehab and Babylon to those who know me. Behold, oh, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia. This one was born there. And of Zion, it will be said, this one and that one were born in her, and the most high himself shall establish her. The Lord will record when he registers the peoples. This one was born there. Both the singers and the players on instruments say, all my springs are in you. That's it. Praise the Lord. Amen. And then Psalm one twenty two one through nine, wars and wars and wars and wars, but it's a city of peace. City of peace. Right? Mhmm. Psalm one twenty two one through nine. This is a prayer for the peace of Jerusalem, a song of ascents by David. I was glad when they said to me, let us go to the house of the Lord. Our feet are standing within your gates, oh, Jerusalem. Jerusalem that is built as a city that is compact together to which the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord, an ordinance for Israel to give thanks to the name of the Lord. For their thrones were set for judgment, the thrones of the house of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May they prosper who love you. May peace be within your walls and prosperity within your palaces. For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will now say, may peace be within you. For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good. Amen. Shalom. Thomas. When you greet each other, say shalom. Shalom. Grace and peace. Right? Yep. Peace. Shalom. Psalm one forty seven two and three. K. Okay. One forty seven, two and three, Psalms. Regathering outcasts. Oh, what was Go ahead. Go ahead, buddy. Okay. The Lord does build up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcast of Israel. He healeth the broken in the heart and bindeth up their wounds. So stop a second there. This is a place where the Lord's gonna regather the outcast. It's like a hospital. They've been flocked there that are hurting them. And when we're reading Revelation 21, gonna wipe away all tears. Yeah. All tears wiped away. And then 12 through 14. 12 through 14, Psalms one forty seven. Praise the Lord, oh Jerusalem. Praise thy God, oh Zion, for he hath strengthened the bars of the gate. He hath blessed the children within thee. So he rebuilt the gates, and it's a place of peace. And then verse 15. Okay. 15. The same chapter. Yep. He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth. His word runneth very swiftly. So the millennial law, his word runs swiftly. Yeah. So like you're saying the sin? Swiftly, man. Yeah. It's gonna get it done. Devil hates it, man. He's just a fallen angel. Wants to be his god. Isaiah one twenty six and twenty seven. Isaiah one twenty six. Oh, Steve. 27. Seven. Let me come over here. And I will restore thy judges as at the first and thy counselors as at the beginning. Afterward, thou shalt be called the city of righteousness. Afterward, thou shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city. Zion shall be redeemed with judgment and her converts with righteousness. Hasn't happened yet. Right? Hasn't happened yet. But holiness, justice, righteousness. Isaiah four three through six. Shelly. Coming. Mhmm. And it shall come to pass that he that is left in Zion and he that remains in Jerusalem shall be called holy, even everyone that is written among the living in Jerusalem. When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning, And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of Mount Zion and upon her assemblies a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night. For upon all the glory shall be a defense. And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain. What's that speaking of? The Shekinah Glory. Glory of God. Mhmm. Right? And now Isaiah fourteen thirty two. That's me. Yeah. What answers shall be given to the envies of of that nations? The Lord has established Zion, and in her, his afflicted people will find refuge. Security. Security. Place of security, a refuge. Isaiah fifty two one through 10. Awake. Awake. Put on thy strength, O Zion. Put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city. For henceforth, there shall no more come into thee, the uncircumcised uncircumcised and the unclean. Shake thyself from the dust. Arise and sit down, oh Jerusalem. Lose thyself from the bands of thy neck, oh captive daughter of Zion. For thus says the Lord, you have sold yourself for nothing, and you shall be redeemed without money. For thus says the Lord God, my people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there, and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. Now, therefore, what have I hear, says the Lord, that my people are taken away for nothing? They that rule over them make them to wail, says the Lord, and my name continually every day is blasphemed. Therefore, my people shall know my name. Therefore, they shall know in that day that I am he who does speak. Behold, it is I. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that brings good tidings, that publishes peace, that bringeth good tidings of good, that publishes salvation, that says unto Zion, thy God reigneth. Thy watchmen shall lift up thy voice. With the voice together, shall they sing, for they shall see eye to eye when the Lord shall bring against Zion. Break forth into joy. Sing together. You waste places of Jerusalem for the Lord has con comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord has made bare his holy army in the eye of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. Amen. Holiness, freedom, good news, redemption. Amen. Alright. We're gonna sing another song. Okay. You got punt? What do you got? The devil is the deception, and the Lord is in perfection. Amen, brother. Mhmm. Alright. So I've been redeemed. You guys ready? Alright. Rob practice it. Thomas knows it. Mark knows it. I've been redeemed by the blood of the lamb. Ready? Yes. Like kids. Be like kids. Right? Alright. Except you become as a child, you'll know I've entered the kingdom of God. I just can't wait to hear Shelley sing this. Big kid. Kid at heart. Alright. How about father Abraham? Oh, no. How about I got a river of life or as the deer pants up the water rock? Hallelujah. How could you be depressed after that? I know. Alright. Who wants to end us in prayer? Close in prayer, not end us. We're just starting. We're just getting started. How about Mark? Mark. Let's have Mark do it. Mark's gonna close us in prayer. Rob? Alright. Oh, I can do that. Mark and Shelley Dinsmore here in case you guys don't know. Yay. They made it. Thank you, pastor Rick, for leading us in the word. Amen. Thank you. And the music and worship of our lord and savior. Great to hear be here with the saints. So, father God, we do love you and thank you and praise you for this new day. For your mercies that are new every morning, God. If you were to judge us, Lord, we could stand. We're so grateful for the blood of our savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, that cleanses us and washes us from all sin. And, God, as we've just been refreshed here tonight by your word, we thank you for what is yet ahead, Lord, that the best is truly yet to come. Yes. God, anything this world has to offer just pales by comparison. There is no comparison, God, to the things that you've prepared in advance for those who love you and called according to your purpose. So we just ask that your anointing and blessing would be upon everyone here as we return to our homes and workplaces. And, God, that you guide and guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Direct our steps. Give us wisdom, Lord, to redeem the time for these days are evil. Thank you for pastor Rick and the flock at Berman And Calvary, and we just look forward until we see you here and be with each other again either here, there, or in the air. In Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah.
