this message is titled The Great Separation 
I want to something I I have an issue with this word separation being born to a family that was broken growing up in foster care warning to end up my life when I was 17 because of that separation it was the separation of the parents 
But it's mostly the separation of me from my God that didn't leave me any reason or desire to live this word 
Separation has a very bad and terrible negative connotation as you may know and I believe that when God created the world I don't even think that word waas in the vocabulary 
If there was one thing in this amazing world in the beginning when he made it all great least when you reading the only thing he separated is the sea from the land and the darkness from the light 
But But if you really think about it God dwell among men and there was perfect harmony and peace and separation was not even going through anybody's mind 
Unfortunately it didn't take men too long to just blow it up to just dropped a ball to just do the wrong thing 
You know God never created robots 
He created people with free wheel 
That's that's the amazing thing about humans we can choose to follow 
God or not we can choose to worship God or not that God says to Moses Moses Tell them Here I put before you evil and good death and life choose life 
He's any n choose like but it's your choice 
But we all know what happened in Chapter three of Genesis and we don't know that there was a choice 
It was a very poor choice and we all know that Adam and Eve were separated from the place God intended then to have 
And we know that it's the first time man was separated from God and it was after the original sin 
We all know that Genesis 3 24 
So he drove out the man and he placed chair a beam at the east off the Garden of Eden and a flaming sword which turned every way to guard the way to the tree off life Men was separated from the tree of life 
I just gave a message in our congregation in in Israel during Christmas on unto us A child was born from Isaiah Chapter nine and I I explained how biblical Christmases 
You know how important it is to celebrate the birth off that son that was given to us how so many pagan symbols infiltrated into that holiday 
But how much We can turn them around and tell people about Jesus because he so And when it comes to the tree Jesus is the tree of life 
Everything taste and see that the Lord is good and you taste Jesus 
You have you turn the light you think about it 
Men was separated from the tree of Life because of sing Wow 
But in that time when the world was perfect and one or two people were not the in perfect was removed and was separated out of the perfect world 
So in Genesis three the sinner is the one separated from a perfect world 
But that's it 
It didn't take too long 
Chapter four came once a game is separated because of what he did is removed from the presence of the Lord and Genesis 4 16 than Cain went out from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of nod on the east of Eden 
Still the world was perfect if you were sinners 
But unfortunately one of the saddest verses in their whole Bible is in Chapter six 
You know singe separates us from God 
Isaiah 59 versus wanting to behold The Lord's hand is not shortened that it cannot save nor his ear heavy that it cannot hear 
But your iniquities have separated you from your God and your sins have hidden his faith from you so that he will not here 
So the separation is because of us and because of sin and the separation off Noah from the world is already something different 
You see from Genesis six and on 
It was the righteous that had to be removed and separated because the whole world turned so wicked 
It's no longer the wicked separated from a perfect world 
From that moment it's the righteous that is going to be separated from a wicked world 
And look Genesis six the saddest verses in the whole Bible 
Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intent off the thoughts of his heart was only evil 
Continually 
It's not like they were having some bad thoughts 
Sometimes every thought and every intention was wicked 
Not today continually from Chapter three with one rebellious act to Chapter six where everything they do is weak wicked and evil 
And the Lord was sorry that he had made man on the earth and he was grieved in his heart 
So the Lord said I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the year both man and beast creeping things and the birds of the air 
For I am sorry that I have made them 
What a terrible thing to hear from God 
And it's all he intended what he created 
Great 
I mean the Bible says that the creation of men was this is what this was the highlight of the crease 
He gave men Dominion over all creation 
Amazing men was even superior to angels 
The thing God for Verse eight 
But Noah se but Noah and remember that we're holding on to that 
In that dark world he saw a glimpse of light 
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord 
And God says I'm going to remove the righteous from the wicked work and it's going to be the pattern from now on no longer the wicked removed from a perfect world now is gonna be the righteous that will be removed and separated 
A separation thus had begun almost throughout the whole history from that time on separation of Abraham from his home and family 
Sometimes when God is going to use you he will separate you from your house from your family from your country from your culture humor language to a place that he will show you 
It's a necessary separation 
And Abraham in Genesis 12 the Bible says 
Now the Lord said to Abraham Get out of your country from your family and from your father's house 
It's a big thing in those days in that culture for someone to leave his father's house 
Can you imagine what did Jesus In my father's house there are many mansions 
The the greatest thing 
What you take pride off is your father's house and he cess doing get out of your country from your family from your father's house to a land and Abram 
Yes I will show you but there's a great promise 
Don't worry I'm not going to take you out of your country and from your landing from your home and your family and destroy I will take you to a place where I will make you a great nation 
I will bless you 
And I will make your name great 
And you shall be a blessing 
And I will bless those who bless you 
And I would curse him 
Who curses you And in you Oh the families off the earth shall be blessed 
You see if God takes you out of whatever culture you are whatever religion you are whatever tradition you're locked into and he's using you to preach the gospel you will be a blessing to all the families of the world 
Then there was a separation of Moses from Egypt 
Moses was born in that area 
He grew up in fares home 
He he was an Egyptian in a way 
A prince the Prince of Egypt for Disney 
And he was separated from Egypt for God to work through Moses in Moses by Moses 
He needed to separate him and he separated him 
And he was there for for so many years with his father in law and his wife in the desert tending sheep 
That's not a great thing you think about it 
From palace to 10 sheep in the desert Exodus tubers the latter part of 1st 15 
But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelled in the land of mid young 
Amazing 
And then came the point where Moses convinces Pharaoh after a long time that Israel should come out of Egypt 
And now comes the separation off Israel from Egypt 
And it's interesting how how much Pharaoh couldn't take it anymore Exodus 12 31 32 than fairer cold for Moses and Aaron by night and said Rise go out from Among my people both you and the Children of Israel and go serve the Lord as you have said 
And also take your flocks and your herds and as you have said and be gone 
But bless me also there a new There was a god in Israel 
He knew this 
God is able to do everything and he knew he needs that 
God bless 
But you know you can take someone out of Egypt but you need to take the Egypt out of someone 
And the Israel lights came out of Egypt but Egypt was still in them 
They're walking in the desert and all they think about is the food in Egypt and the gods of Egypt and the things of Egypt 
There has to be a point work 
Israel was to be separated from the pagan world 
This is why Moses in chapter 33 of Exodus when he after he went down from Mount Sinai he said to the Lord the Lord said to Moses My presence will go with you and I will give you rest 
And then Moses said to God if your presence does not go with us do not bring us up from here 
For how Then will it be known that your people and I have found grace in your sight Except you go with us So we shall be what separate your people and I from all the people who are upon the face of the earth 
Moses says Lord I don't send us 
Would someone well not moving out of here unless you are with us 
You can't expect me to be stuck with his people and you go unless you take me out of here 
I'm not moving 
I need everyone around and my own people to know that it's you 
So the Lord said to Moses Moses had a lot of chutzpah to talk like that to God you re think about it 
It was gutsy and the Lord said to Moses I will also do this thing that you have spoken 
You're found Grace in my sight and I know you by name 
When goddess separating you he knows you by name 
He know who you are what your name is and he wants you to demand him to be with you 
But sometimes it's not just the people from a foreign land off the people from a pagan world 
Sometimes within the people there is a separation 
Think about Moses coming down from Mount Sinai and they were celebrating the golden calf 
Moses 
The Bible says Exodus 32 when Moses saw that the people were on restrained for and had not restrained them to their shame among their enemies than Moses stood in the entrance off the camp and said Whoever is on the Lord's side come to me and all the sons of Levy gathered themselves together to him 
Within the nation sometimes within your own you will have to have a separation and the only criteria is who is on the Lord's side 
It's not Who do you like more Who looks better Who is wealthier It's who is on the Lord's side 
And then Jesus came to the world 
And when Jesus came to the world all the rules have changed everything 
Certain things that God tolerated before came to an end 
Jesus now is providing solution for a problem that had no solution until that moment 
So everything changes 
And the first thing that the believers off that time in Jerusalem realized is off the need off the Jewish believers in Jesus to be separated from religion and traditional Judaism 
They had to be separated 
Galatians Chapter two versus 11 and 20 now and Peter had come to Antioch 
Look what poll A Jew right About Peter a Jew 
When Peter come to came to Antioch I would stood him to his face because he was to be blamed for before certain men came from James he would eat with the Gentiles but when they came he would drew and separated himself fearing those who were off the circumcision and the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him so that even Barnabus was carried away with their hypocrisy 
No this is quite harsh 
Pull his writing 
Things here pull didn't like it he said 
When I soul that they were not straightforward about the truth of the Gospel I said to Peter before all of them If you being a Jew live in the manner of the Gentiles and not as the Jews why do you compel gentiles to leave as Jews way who are Jews by nature and not sinners off the Gentiles Knowing that a man is not justified by the works off the law but by faith in Jesus Christ Even we have believed in Christ Jesus that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law 
For by the works off the law no flash shall be justified 
No flesh shall be justified by the work of a Jew is telling a Jew don't act like a do and be hypocrite acting like suddenly religion matters when you know that the law cannot save them 
Don't sell them that you have to be man up and be an example 
If while it's we seek to be justified by Christ 
We ourselves are also found sinners is Christ therefore and minister of since Certainly not for if I build again those things which I destroyed I make myself transgressive for I through the law died to the law that I might live to God 
I have been crucified with Christ 
It is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me 
And the life which I now live is in the flesh 
I live by faith in the son of God who loved me and gave himself for me 
I do not set aside the grace of God for if righteousness comes through the law than Christ died in vain 
He says everything we teach we must practice 
He said Look we're not perfect 
We're sinners 
All of us are sinners 
Don't tell them that you will be perfected by keeping the low when you know that the law cannot say we're saved by grace 
But the same thing that he asked the Jews believers to separate themselves from 
He's now asking the gentile believers to separate themselves from that pagan world 
And now the Filipinos will have hard time with me 
Are you ready Okay acts 
15 acts 15 
There were some discussion whether the believers that are not the Jews should be circumcised 
So Paul knowing that obviously it's not required came all the way with Barnabus 
He came all the way to Jerusalem and they that was the first council the Jerusalem Council were They all need together and really discuss the matter of What are we going to do with the Gentiles Up until now the only believers are Jewish 
People know gentiles are added to faith 
And what are we going to tell them To keep the law to be circumcised Filipinos Listen 
It pleased the apostles and the elders with the whole church to send chosen men off their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas 
Namely Judah's off 
What The name It was called Bar Subhas and Silas leading men among the brethren 
And they wrote this letter to them 
Now the letter that is written to the brothers that are not Jews the apostles the elders and brethren to the brethren who are in the Gentile off the Gentiles in Antioch Syria and Cilicia 
Greetings 
Since we have heard that some of who went out from us have troubled you with words unsettling your soul saying you must be circumcised and keep the law to whom we gave no such commandment 
It seems good to us being assembled with one accord to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul men who are have risked their lives for the name of the Lord Jesus Christ who have therefore 
So now we have therefore sent Judas and Silas who will also report the same things by word of mouth For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit end to us 
He's saying Look what I'm sending you now is something that the Holy Spirit confirmed 
And it seems good to the Holy Spirit 
End to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things 
You abstain from things offered to idols from Dina Gone 
What was it What did he say here Yeah okay 
Lets go back because a lot of people here it whatever they want to abstain from things offered to idols from blood from things strangled from sexual immorality 
If you keep yourselves from these you will do well for will 
This is it acts 17 
Paul is in the middle of Athens 
Everybody thinks that there God's gift to the world over there the old thing that they have more degrees than the degrees outside 
They're so impressed with their own education 
And Paul looking all around him sees people who believes in at least 2000 different gods and go a poll says to them God who made the world and everything in it since he is Lord Off Heaven and Earth does not dwell in temples made with hens 
Nor is he worshipped with men's are things with men's hands 
And though he needed anything since he gives toe all life breath and all things and he has made from the blood every nation off men to dwell on all the face off the earth he also determined there pre appointed times and boundaries 
Borders are from God and off the boundaries off their dwellings so that they should seek the Lord in the hope that they might grope for him and find him 
Though he is not far from each one of us 
For in him blood is not far 
You may not believe in him but he's there in him 
We live and we move and we have our being 
And there's also some of your own poets have said for we are also his offspring is 
Therefore since we are the offerings of God we ought not to think that the divine nature is like gold or silver or stone something shaped by art of man's device ing 
And now he's telling the gentiles around the world the good news that were supposed to be bad news for them 
He says truly these times of ignorance God overlooked 
When God was dealing with Israel he overlooked the ignorance of the Gentiles 
But now Christ came 
Now sins are forgiven 
Now there is a solution 
Now there is redemption now say 
But now he commands Oh man say all men everywhere everywhere to repent 
You cannot be saved 
You cannot enter the kingdom of God 
You cannot be a child 
You cannot call him Abba 
Father you cannot enter into the holy of Holies 
You cannot find grace in front of that throne overs unless you first what Repent the first word of Jesus 
By the way the fact that you repent doesn't make you perfect 
You might stumble and fall 
You might sing But repent is the key 
Repentance is the key 
And he says now he commands all men everywhere to repent because people must repent 
There is no automatic salvation anywhere You must repent because he has a point of the day on which he will judge the world 
There is judgement coming in righteousness by the man who he has a four Dane 
He has given assurance off this toe all by raising him from the dead 
There's also the separation of the born again believers from false teachers from within 
Whoa Matthew 7 21 23 
Not everyone who says to me Lord Lord shall enter the kingdom of Heaven 
But he who does the will of my father in heaven 
Many will say to mean the day Lord Lord have we not prophesized in your name Cast out demons in your name and done many wonders in your name 
And then I will declare to them 
I never knew you depart from me 
You who practice lawlessness 
Second Corinthians 11 22 50 12 to 15 
But that I do 
I will also continue to do that 
I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire and opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they both for such are false apostles deceitful workers transforming themselves into apostles of Christ and no wonder for saving himself transform himself into an angel of light 
Therefore it is no greater thing in this ministries in this if if his ministers also transformed themselves into ministers off righteousness whose end will be according to their works Second Tim it'd three 
But know this that in the last days Perlis Times will come for men will be lovers of themselves lovers of money boaster proud blasphemers disobedient to parents 
Unthinkable unholy unloving unforgiving slanderers without self control brutal 
The spies is of good traders had strong hardy lovers of pleasure rather than the lovers of God having a form of godliness but denying its power and from such people separate yourself 
Done away 
Up until now we talked about this world the separation the physical and the spiritual separation that you had to do in this world 
But I want all of you to get ready for the great separation a separation that will change everything because there is no way off turning back and I am talking about the great separation of the church from this world 
I'm talking about the physical removal off the believers from this world 
This is the great separation 
The rapture off the church 
Yes the word Raptor 
Not in the Bible but the word Trinity is not in the Bible 
Rapture comes from Europe tour 
Oh it's in Latin 
It comes from the Greek art Basel and it is in the Bible many times it's to be caught up to be taken up first Corinthians 15 I tell you a mystery 
We shall not all sleep are we shall be all change in a moment in a twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet for the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible And we shall be changed for this corruptible must put on in corruption And this mortal must put immortality first 
Thessalonians four 
But I do not want to brethren to be ignorant concerning those who have fallen asleep 
Let's use Salo as others who have no hope for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again Even so God will bring with him those who fell who who sleep in Jesus 
For this is the way we say to you by the word of the Lord that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no mean Proceed 
Those who are asleep for the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout with a voice often Arcangel and with a trumpet of God 
And they did in Christ 
This is the great separation 
The date in Christ will rise first 
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air 
And thus we shall always be with the Lord 
Therefore comfort one another with these words that great separation 
God told us to separate ourselves from so many things 
And yet we're still here 
Jesus could have prayed Father 
I pray that when you take me you will take them 
Also he didn't He actually said Father I do know to ask you to take them 
But I ask you to keep them from the evil one because they must stay here because they have to do your will 
They have to spread the word 
They have to tell the world that there is solution 
There is hope 
There is redemption 
And it is the name of Jesus that everyone bus believe in 
If he would have taken them 2000 years ago you would be still dead in your trespasses today 
He left them so we can live today 
And he's about to return and take all of us 
Those who fell asleep already 
Those who died in Christ and those that are still alive 
We're going to be taken out of here 
Wow That is a wonderful wonderful separation 
The great separation of the church from God's judgment is about to come 
The word off God is preached already all over the world Israel is back in the land 
Jerusalem is once again the center off world Attention 
The world is pushing hard for global systems to be in place to prepare the stage for the rule of the anti Christ 
But nothing can separate us from the love of God In Christ Jesus the world I always tell people 
Look Jesus gave us signs of the end so we will get ready for the great separation 
The world is moving so fast towards that 
The mystery of lawlessness is already at work 
Indeed 
Look around you 
People having their passports Gender X that's it 
We're changing Creation were changing the Bible where changing God's word 
We're changing everything 
The mystery of lawlessness is already at work 
Delusion is all around 
People believe their own lies 
Deception is everywhere 
One of the things Jesus said will be in the last days deception 
You will be deceived and deceived from within and from outside 
Be ready be sober 
Look around 
And the only way you can detect deception is if you are holding on to the word of God 
And if you read and if you eat and devour and you know it because when you know the word of God they cannot deceive you 
We are in this world but not off this world 
Do not confirm but be transformed 
Romans 12 wanted to 
I beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of God that you present your bodies is living sacrifice holy acceptable to God which is your reasonable service 
And do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind 
Do you let the world change your mind or do you let the word change your mind But one thing is for sure 
The renewing off the mind is the way for us to be to be transformed 
Because the world is conditioning us conditioning us to a specific things 
They will push it to you 
They will tell you they will boycott you 
If you don't think like them they will tolerate you 
If you like them they will not tolerate 
You're not like them 
You have to have a renewal of the mind that you may prove 
What is that Good and acceptable and perfect Not will of man but the will of God Not the will of the world but the will of the Lord 
The great and ultimate physical separation is attend and you must choose your side 
Remember whoever is for the Lord come to be Moses 
It and only the leave ICTs came to him 
Can you imagine 12 tribes and only one that tell you that when the rapture happens you will be surprised who is going to be raptured and who is not going to be 
And by the way this is going to be the first international gathering off all believers on planet Earth together at the same time 
By the way if you in Israel it's faster they say when you pray in Israel's a local call but from everywhere at the same time in a twinkling of an eye it a trumpet blast boom were gone and we will all see each other Buster where dreams 
And I'm not going to say Hey where is no Romans 13 says 
Do this knowing the time that now it is high time to awake out of sleep 
For now our salvation is near than when we first believe the night is far spent 
The day is at hand 
Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness 
Let us put on the armor of life 
Let us walk properly is in the day not in revelry and drunkenness not in lewdness and love not in strife and envy 
But put out the put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh to fulfill its less Romans eight says for we know that the whole creation groans and labour's with birth pangs together until now 
Not only that but we also who have the first fruits of the spirit 
Even we ourselves groan within ourselves eagerly waiting for the adoption The redemption of what Our body Not our souls Not our mind our body 
We want it to be redeem out of here 
For we were saved in this hope 
But hope that he's seen is not hope for Why does one still hope for what he sees But it if we hope for what we do not see we eagerly wait for eight with perseverance 
And I'm asking you tonight Are you ready for the great separation and more soul Are you ready for the great Union that we're going to have in heaven Come on 
We're going to see Jesus face to face and the Bible says and we will never ever be separated from him again 
That's it 
Jesus 
Yes 
Here you are 
Yeah Don't worry 
I'm not going anywhere and you're looking around and all of us will have such great bodies 
All of our bodies will change 
Look at you now 
Oh pinch yourself 
It's a lowly body 
That's why the Bible says in a moment and we will all change 
We have to change in order to be taken out of here 
This body ain't going up there you understand Once you change gravity want have any more power We're out of here Were gone with our new glorified in heaven Everybody will stand in front of the mirror 
Look at this 
You can eat anything you want 
You will never be late 
No more traffic 
EDSA is nothing If you think this is the Kingdom of God now go to EDSA 
Are you ready for the Great Union And by the way the union in crisis Not only union with us in Christ the Union for example between Jews and Gentiles in Christ there is union between all believers from all nations union with the Lord himself 
The walls of separation between the Jews and Gentiles were broken 
Ephesians says for he himself is our peace who has made both one and has broken down the middle wall of separation While we are separated from the evil world and the wicked world there is a great unity that God is providing in Christ Jesus And that wall of separation is gone 
Galatians three for you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus for as many off you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ 
There is neither Jew nor Greek 
There is neither slave nor free 
There is neither male nor female 
For you are all one in Christ 
Jesus 
And if you are Christ then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise 
Wow they're great 
Separation is around the corner and we need to make sure that at least between us there are no walls of separation 
We need to be united 
We need to have unity between the Jews and the Gentile believers 
We need to have unity between all believers all around the world 
And we need to prepare for the unity with Christ Jesus 
But we cannot do that without the Holy Spirit 
We cannot do that without being born again 
And I will end up with this 
Make sure that you have oil in your lambs 
The Bible tells us off that amazing parable of the 10 virgins they were all looking to saying they're old thought were okay 
And when the bride Drew came he only took those who had oil in their lamps 
Oil is a typology is the Holy Spirit 
Only when you were born again 
You have the gift and the promise of the Holy Spirit 
You're born again and Spirit Field 
You should know that you're ready in their four 
You she'll be encouraged Father 
We thank you 
We thank you that you turn around the meaning of the word separation from something so bad to something 
We should look forward 
We thank you that although it's a word with horrible connotation Father you're about to separate us from the world and unite us with Jesus 
And we are looking forward to great separation 
So Father we pray that tonight all of us here will be ready with oil in their lamps for when that great separation comes 
And it is around the corner according to the signs that you told us that will characterize the days before Father we ask 
But if anyone here is not ready yet for the great separation tonight he will separate himself from everything that holds him back Tonight he will understand the meaning of being transform with the renewal of the mind 
We thank you and we bless you 
And we pray all of this in the matchless and the most beautiful name off the Holy one of Israel the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords 
The lion of the tribe of Judah 
A man well the prince of peace in the name off your shoe on our salvation the name of Jesus we pray and all of God's people say a man
