(gentle music)
And now here is
Pastor Arnold Murray.
- Good day to you.
God, bless you.
Say, welcome to the
Shepherd's Chapel.
Welcome to this family
Bible Study hour back
in our father's word, the
first book of Timothy.
Timothy, the first time Paul
met him, he was a teenager,
a young teenager.
Seven years later, he comes by
and Timothy is a young adult.
He taught well by
his mother Eunice
and his grandmother, Lois.
Nothing is mentioned
ever of Timothy's father,
but they were Hellenist
meaning they were Hebrews
that spoke in the Greek tongue,
that studied in
the Greek tongue.
That's what a Hellenist is.
But Paul was very
proud of this one.
He adopted him
spiritually as his son
and he intends to
use him to instruct
and to discipline the church.
And that's what
Timothy is about.
It's a pastorial letter
telling Christians
how to act and how to react.
And what a book it is.
Let's get right into it.
1 Timothy 2:1 reads,
"I exhort therefore,"
Paul to Timothy,
"I exhort therefore
that first of all,
"supplications,
prayers, intercessions,"
don't forget other
people, pray for them,
intercede for them,
"and giving of thanks,"
don't forget to
thank our father.
So many people leave
that out of their lives.
They're blessed with truth
and knowledge and wisdom,
but they forget to just
say, father, thank you.
I needed that.
It's so very important,
"be made for all men."
That is to say, be
thankful for all men
that believe, that see.
And again, as I stated
in the last lecture,
God's elect have a special duty.
That is to say, to
see that the principle
that Christ Jesus
came into the world
to save sinners of
whom I am chief,
Paul would say in the 15th
verse of that first chapter.
That's what the purpose is,
is bringing salvation
to whomsoever will,
but they've got to believe else
you do not cast your
pearls before swine
and you do plant seeds
and then move on.
If there are no
ears there to hear,
you're not to worry about it.
Verse two, "For kings,"
notice the lowercase.
This means from the
heathen nations,
"and for all that
are in authority;
"that we may lead a
quiet and peaceful life
"in all godliness and honesty."
In other words, what you do,
you work within the framework
of whatever nation
you might be in
whereby they must guarantee
or at least allow you
to plant those seeds,
to be prayerful,
to permit, to commit
supplications and prayers
and intercessions,
and giving of thanks.
And so it is.
You're to get along with
everyone if it be possible,
it is not possible to
get along with everyone,
that's a bypass,
but the discernment of spirit
which God's elect are gifted
with, can determine that.
You know in five minutes.
Verse three, "For this
is good and acceptable
"in the sight of
God our savior."
He sees, he observes,
he knows what happens,
he sees your good works.
And your good works cover
a multitude of sins.
And that's as it is.
1 Peter 4:8, I believe
it is, seven or eight.
So therefore you want
those good deeds, why?
He's observing it.
It's in the book of life.
You have a record in heaven,
whether you like it or not.
It may be bad.
If you're bad, it's bad,
if you're good, it's good.
But on repentance, by
Christ being so good
that he paid that price on the
cross, the bad can be erased,
and God doesn't want
to hear about it again.
So he does see and he knows
how you interact with people.
He expects you to stand your
ground yet at the same time,
being fair and disciplined
in serving the living God.
That is very important.
Verse four, "Who will have,"
or I'd rather translate it,
"whose will it is to
have all men to be saved
"and to come into the
knowledge of truth."
Our heavenly father,
there is a better example
of this in 2 Peter 3.
I'm gonna read it for you,
you're not gonna have it.
It is God's will as
it is stipulated there
that all come into repentance,
that they love the Lord,
and that's what he wants.
Any time you have someone
teaching a message
where God is getting up
in the morning and saying,
wonder who I can zap today?
That's not your father.
But whose will it is
that all men be saved.
I wanna read to you from
chapter three of 2 Peter,
the greatest
chapter in the world
for teaching three earth ages,
because all three earth ages
and all three heaven
ages are brought forth
in this third chapter of Peter.
But God says, in his teaching
through Peter 3:8,
"And beloved be not
ignorant of this one thing,
"that one day is what the
Lord is a thousand years
"and a thousand
years is one day."
That means that's
the Lord's day,
that's the millennium
that is coming.
It's called the Lord's day.
But here's why I brought
you here, verse nine,
"The Lord is not Slack
concerning his promise,"
he always keeps it,
"as some men count slackness
but is long suffering."
That means he's got
all kinds of patients,
"to us word to
everybody, not willing,"
this is his wish, "not willing
that any should perish,"
he doesn't want
anybody to go to hell,
"but that all should
come to repentance."
What is repentance?
It's to have a change of
heart or change of mind
and ask God's forgiveness
and then be thankful to him
that he has forgiven you
as verse one so stipulated.
So God, again, I wanna
say he's long suffering,
He's got lots of patience.
He'll deal with you,
he observes you,
he watches, he
doesn't mind waiting,
but it is his will
or wish that all come
to repentance, they won't.
You know that in this
world, unfortunately,
that there are some that
will be so stubborn even
after the Lord's day,
that thousand year period
when they've seen him in person.
They will still go
with the deceiver
when he's released
a short season.
That shows you the
mindset of some people.
They're just not
with it, they're bad.
But the main thing I wanted you
to see is the love
of our father,
that he doesn't wake up and
do bad things to people.
He simply gives the
law which lets you know
what happens to you
when you do bad things.
And it is his will
that you'll repent
and come out of such foolery
and be useful in
the kingdom of God.
That is ever, ever
so very important.
That is the mindset of the
living God, your father.
And it's important that you
know that he has emotions,
He has feelings, and
in that first chapter,
when he said above all
charity, that's love,
he loves his children.
That's why he destroyed
the first earth age
and brought in this earth age
so he did not have to
destroy 1/3 of his children,
but to give them the opportunity
born innocent of woman
to make his or her mind
up, are you gonna serve God
or are you gonna serve Satan?
Your choice, that simple.
So let's go with
the next verse back
in chapter two, verse five.
"For there is one
God and one mediator
between God and men,
"the man Christ Jesus."
Let's interpret that
as it's written.
Why doesn't it say Jesus Christ?
Well, Christos is
the anointed one,
Jesus is Yehovah, savior.
So let's read, what is the man,
the anointed one,
Yehovah savior?
The very purpose of Christ
is bringing salvation
into the world, opening it,
having paid the
price on the cross,
that if you will believe,
if you will repent,
long suffering, I would suppose,
Emmanuel God with us
paid the price himself
that you could have
that redemption simply
for the believing and
asking and living.
Verse six,
"Who gave himself a ransom
"for all to be
testified in due time
"in its own season and
everyone in his season."
This ransom is for real.
It's a substance to
release you from sin.
When you fall short,
it's a ransom pain
that frees you and
releases you from sin.
You've gotta really know
how important that is.
Your record, it doesn't matter
what your little church
letter says here on earth.
I could care less
about what it says.
It's what is
written by your name
in the book of life in heaven,
kept there by Almighty God
who even knows what
you're thinking.
And when you repent, it's
erased from that book,
it's not there, it
vanishes, it's blotted out.
And God doesn't even
wanna hear about it again.
That's the price he paid
and it's a real ransom.
It is testified in due time,
made clear to everyone.
You know when it's gonna
be made clear to everyone
than most any other time is
when God's elect
are delivered up
and the Holy spirit
speaks through them
as it is written in
Mark 13 and Matthew 24.
What a time that's going
to be, in its season,
and that season is coming.
Verse seven, "Whereunto,
I am ordained a preacher,"
Paul is, "and an apostle,"
that's a sent one,
"I speak the truth in Christ,
"and lie not a teacher
of the Gentiles,"
that's to say of the nations,
"in faith and verity,"
that means in truth.
In truth, do I teach it.
You couldn't have him
teach any other way.
It doesn't matter how it
went down coming from Paul,
it's gonna be truth.
And so it was that
he would do this.
Ordained as God would write
in the great book of Acts
9:15 concerning this Paul,
he is a chosen vessel unto me.
And God chose him
to take the message
to both the Kings and
Queens of the ethnos,
that's to say the nations,
to the Gentile and to Israel.
And so it is that Paul teaches
on those three levels again.
How precious it is.
Verse eight, to continue,
"I will therefore that
men pray everywhere,
"lifting up Holy hands
without wrath and doubting."
Doubting means disputing.
Don't be arguing about
every little detail.
Well, this good brother
says it this way.
And that brother
says it that way.
How about what God says?
Yay, nay, no in between,
no word by precedent,
that is to say
what man might say.
What's important is
what does God say?
You stick with that, chapter
by chapter, verse by verse
and you'll be a lot
better off than listening
to jangling speech.
No disputing.
If God says it...
Sometimes God leaves certain
things open to interpretation,
but when God himself
interprets something,
don't you dare try
to interpret it.
I mean, when he says it with
and answers with an
interpretation, that's it.
You would be in dire danger
if you were to mess with that.
So the thing is you have to
listen to the word of God
and that that must be, will be.
Verse nine, "In like manner
also that women adorn themselves
"in modest apparel
with shamefacedness
"and sobriety, not
with broidered hair
"or gold or pearls
or costly array."
This means that for
in public worship.
You see, harlots
would paint their eyes
with a certain shade
of purple and so forth
that advertised
their wear, okay?
But what he's saying is
there's nothing wrong
with using makeup and there's
nothing wrong with jewelry,
there's nothing wrong with
your hair being attended to,
it's just that don't overdo it.
Be modest in it.
Just look nice, look godly.
And so it is.
So many people,
it does not say don't
you dare braid your hair,
don't you dare...
It means don't braid
it and put signs in it
that advertises something
lustful, something
of that nature,
you don't go there.
A child of God wouldn't.
And so it is.
Modest apparel, it
means dress moderately
as a Christian woman should,
and look nice, nothing
wrong with looking nice.
It's admirable.
So don't don't ever let
anyone take that away from you
you just have to
maybe wear a tozack.
That's not what it says,
but that's what some preachers
would have you believe.
Verse 10, "But which becometh
"women professing
godliness with good works."
In other words, the good
works are more important
than what you wear,
but you dress modestly
and your good deeds
speak louder than makeup,
hair or how you dress.
Your good deeds do that.
That is your spirit,
that is your heart,
that is your soul in
serving the living God.
And how precious a
good Christian woman is
that serves the living God.
And so it is.
Verse 11, "Let the
women learn in silence
"with all subjection."
Now here, we have to
think just a little bit.
If two wed, do they
not become one flesh?
How in the world are
we gonna have this,
that half of this
flesh is gonna be quiet
and the other half is
not when they're one?
I mean, oneness is
where they totally
and completely are one in God.
That was God's promise when he
took from Adam, created Eve,
the mother of all living
and that from her would
come Christ umbilical cord,
the umbilical cord, and
you're either in him
or you're not living.
And so there it is.
One more verse, verse 12.
"But I suffer not
a woman to teach
"nor to usurp
authority over the man
"but to be in silence."
Now we're going to do a
little word sort of research
in the next book of 2
Timothy, on this silence.
I'm gonna give you a
little Greek lesson,
but at the same
time, I wanna say
at the time of this writing,
what did Paul have in his pocket
when he was on his
road to Damascus?
To destroy the church,
to drag men and women,
didn't make any difference,
drag them out in the street
and even kill some of
them as they did Steven.
But it wasn't all that safe
and it was kind of in
protecting in that sense.
But what about the end times?
What about 1 Corinthians 11:5?
You're not going to have
it, but make a note of it.
I'm gonna say it again for
you, 1 Corinthians 11:5.
And listen very carefully to me.
Verse five reads,
"But every woman that
prayeth or prophesieth,"
prophesying is teaching,
"with her head uncovered
dishonoreth her head
"for that is even all one
as if she were shaven."
In other words, what are
we talking about here?
It's not talking about hair.
It's talking about
you better have the covering
of Christ over your head,
male or female.
Verse six, "But if the
woman be not covered,
"let her also be shorn,
"but if it be a shame for a
woman to be shorn or shaven,
"let her be covered."
Verse seven, "For a man, indeed
ought not to cover his head
"for as much as he is the
image and glory of God,
"but the woman is the
glory of the man."
In other words, there's a
reason he's saying women,
in the final generation,
need to be very careful.
You need to have
Christ over your head.
You need to be under
the wing of Christ.
It's extremely important.
He's gonna tell you why.
And again, I wanna
say, this is a woman
that is preaching,
that's prophesying.
You know, Philip had
four virgin daughters.
And do you know what
all four of them were?
They were prophetess.
They were virgins so they
had never known a man,
they didn't have a husband,
but yet they taught,
they were prophetesses and
they taught the word of God
and God saw no shame in it.
So here we're coming along here.
This leaves kind of a
little bit of befuddlement
if you're not careful.
Well, what is he talking
about, shorn, unshorn?
Verse eight, "For the
man is not of the woman,
"but the woman of the man."
Verse nine, "Neither was the
man created for the woman,
"but the woman for the man."
Let me ask you something, who
brought you into this world?
Well, my mama.
You bet.
Women give birth and they
bring men into the world.
That's the way God arranged it.
But God is warning something
here that is very important,
especially in this generation.
Verse 10, "For this
cause ought the woman
"to have power on her head
because of the angels."
Well pray tell me what
angels is that talking about?
The fallen angels.
They're going to
return to this earth.
And as it is written,
as it is written in Matthew 24,
it's gonna be just like it
was in the days of Noah.
The fallen angels
are gonna be giving
and taking in marriage
again to women
and a woman that has
Christ over her head,
if she's covered by
the wing of Christ,
if she's covered by the
wing of almighty God,
they will run from her.
But the point is they rather
than being born to a woman,
they want to seduce woman.
And that's what it's about.
And in this generation
it would continue on
and it was be saying,
just say it would
be a shame for a man
to be covered in
that light, why?
Because it would
be a perversion.
They're not after men,
they're after women.
And so it is.
So we must be very careful.
When you realize in the
doctrine that assists
in the church in discipline
and in helping people
and encouraging people
that we do not change
the word of God simply
to fit a few unlearned,
so-called teachers
of God's word.
We will find that this word
silence, in a farther place,
and I'll bring it out
to you at a later time,
I'm gonna teach you something
in the Greek language.
I'm gonna show you the
original manuscript,
and rather than a
woman being silent,
it's going to be a woman
should not chatter in church.
I will not allow
anyone to chatter
when God's word is being taught,
male, female, or child.
We have, in reverence to
almighty God and God only,
do we submit and
we do not chatter.
I am sorry this will be one time
that even the "Strong's
Concordance" cannot help you.
I have to take you even a
little deeper than that,
but I will teach you whereby
you will be well grounded
and know that the word is
not silence but chatter.
Chatter is something
that interrupts,
that's why it's called a bird,
sometimes chattering, jangling.
It's disrupting.
Satan likes nothing better
than to have chatter going on
when God's sincere
word of supplication
of prayer, of intercession
is taking place.
And man should never allow that.
You should never allow
the flesh body come
into any type of celebration
that takes away
from the simplicity
that is in the Word
of God and teaching,
being modest,
straightforward, honest,
in bringing forth
the word of God.
I know and I understand
it upset some people.
When I say that the word
should be chattered.
That's all right.
I guarantee you
when we come to it,
I will educate
you on that point.
It's very simple.
It's simply that you have
to go to the manuscripts
and we will take it from there.
It is written in Mark 13,
when we are delivered
up, as it is written,
then in Acts 2,
on Pentecost day,
what was the example
going on there?
Both men and women,
which this has to do
with the end generation,
that's why I'm nailing
this right now,
that both men and women
shall teach and prophesy
by the Holy Spirit
speaking through them
when the antichrist,
when they're delivered up
before the false Messiah.
Women shall teach.
It will be the Holy spirit
teaching through them.
There have been many
times in the Bible
that God has used women.
And I know I'm taking a
little bit of time on this
but it's necessary
that there there have
been great women students
in God's word.
Did you ever hear Deborah?
Back when there were judges,
Israel was being attacked.
There was no man judge.
Deborah was a woman.
And the men said,
you may have heard from God
that we can defeat them,
but we're not going out there.
Well, she was the judge.
She jumped in a chariot, off
she goes, they had the victory,
and even down to the fact
of Cicero, the enemy,
kind of limped away and
crawled into a tent,
invited in by Jael,
a Gentile woman,
and she offered him
some sweet buttermilk.
Lay down, rest yourself.
Lay down and get
some sweet buttermilk
and that woman drove a tent
peg right through his head.
She killed him.
So man didn't get to destroy
the enemy, woman did.
So God has a way.
And then one time
in another place,
have you ever heard of Huldah?
Men at one time in the
scripture, they're confused
and they wanna know
what God has to say
so they went down
to the university,
the head of it and asked Huldah
who was the head of the
university of God's house.
And they asked that
woman the meaning of it
and Huldah gave it to them.
So you see, to say that
women should not teach,
you've missed a spoke
somewhere or have misspoken.
So again, I take a
little more time,
maybe the necessary, but
I'm going to document,
before we finish,
1 and 2 Timothy,
what I'm talking
about, be patient.
God's patient and he's
long suffering, are you.
Let's go with the next verse
in chapter two, verse 13.
For Adam was first
born and then Eve.
And we know that God
created Adam and the others,
the other races on the sixth day
but on the eight day
he created Eth ha-Adam,
that's the Hebrew language
of another person.
And he created Adam, and
from Adam he took the curve,
is what it says.
You know, a lot of people
get upset about this too.
It says right there in
the King James, rib.
You can translate it
rib if you want to,
the word is curve.
Every man still has a full
count of ribs, so did Adam.
It's the curve, the
helix curve in the DNA.
A man didn't know about
DNA back then, but God did.
And he took the feminine
part and created that woman
that would be the
mother of all living,
that is to say Eve.
And Eve partook, if you would,
and they both became
one, one body.
And so it was that
God created this.
It is true that
in this next verse
we have a little
explaining to do,
let's go with it, verse 14.
"And Adam was not deceived
"but the woman being deceived
was in the transgression."
I'm gonna read that again.
"And Adam was not deceived,
"but the woman being deceived
was in the transgression."
Now I wanna test your memory.
What is the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil?
This is the trunk of the
body and these are the limbs.
We have the tree of life
which is Jesus Christ.
We have the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil,
who is that?
Well, who's evil?
Who has that trunk and the limbs
that is just absolutely evil.
It's Satan, of course.
They were not to
partake of that tree,
which is to say the Atash.
That's what the Hebrew word is.
The Hebrew word
for an orange tree
or an apple tree is ets, E-T-S.
That's not the word used
here taken from atash,
which is the back bone
through which the central
nervous system runs
that will open your
eyes to knowledge,
that will, as it is written
in that fourth
chapter of Genesis,
third chapter of Genesis.
But here they're letting
Adam off the hook.
What I'm doing, I'm
testing your memory.
What did Eve encourage Adam
to partake of and he did?
Was the same fruit that she did.
What fruit was that?
The fruit of the knowledge
of good and evil
off of that tree.
So you wanna be real careful
when you start judging for
yourself rather than listening
to God's word.
Verse 15, to
complete the chapter,
"Notwithstanding,
she shall be saved
"in childbearing if they
continue in faith and charity,"
that's faith and love, "and
holiness with sobriety."
And so it is that woman.
Today, again, I'll ask it,
who brought you into the world?
It sure wasn't some man,
but it was a woman
blessed of God
that gave birth and brought
forth God's election,
as well as all
souls in the world.
How precious it is.
It's the plan of God.
When he would say, let us
create man, in our image,
there you are.
You look in the flesh,
just like you did
in your spiritual body.
You don't wanna miss
any of the lectures
in these pastorial lectures.
They are very educational
and I think you're going
to enjoy them.
All right, bless your heart.
You listen a moment,
won't you please.
The book of Ezekiel.
What a fantastic study,
this book of Ezekiel.
The book of Ezekiel that
covers, if you would,
those vehicles,
those circular disk.
In the Hebrew, it
states very clearly
that that whirlwind with
the color amber traced back
to the Hebrew, highly
polished, bronze.
What an exciting thing
that God's word informs us
on all things.
Ezekiel, one of my favorite
prophets of the Bible,
probably more
written, not probably,
but absolutely more written
on what will happen
in the millennium age
than even the book
of revelation.
Ezekiel guiding you through it,
what God will expect
at the final battle,
Armageddon and Hamon-Gog,
recorded in this great prophecy.
I know you're going to enjoy it.
The book of Ezekiel.
And there we are back again.
Let's have the
800 number please.
1-800-643-4645.
That number is good from
Puerto Rico throughout the US,
Alaska, Hawaii, all over Canada.
If the spirit moves and you
have a question, you share it.
Won't you do that?
Please never ask a question
about some reverend,
some denomination,
some church or organization.
We're not going to judge people.
It's not our right to.
God is the judge.
And when you start judging,
he gets upset with you.
If you just go around and
start judging this group,
that group and whatever,
you are to use
spiritual discernment
to cut yourself away
from bad groups.
That is also very,
very scriptural.
But let your spiritual
discernment guide you
in what you should listen to
and what you should
not listen to.
It's a God given gift.
It's a precious gift.
Those of you that listened by
short wave around the world,
it's always a pleasure hearing
from you and your announcer.
At the end of the hour, we'll
give you our mailing address.
Always a pleasure.
You got a prayer request,
you not need that number
or an address, why?
God knows what you're
thinking right now.
He created you, we
mentioned DNA earlier.
Your DNA is different than
any person in the world,
unless you're a natural
twin, identical twin.
And you know something, why?
Because you're unique.
God created you that way
because he wanted
someone just like you
but he wants you to love
him and be a servant of his,
a child, a child of God.
That's what you are,
that's what he wants.
He wants your love.
Let him know you love him.
Won't you father,
around the globe,
we come, we ask that
you lead, guide,
direct father, touch in
Yeshua's precious name.
Thank you, father, amen.
And question time.
We're gonna go with
Karen from Texas.
"Does this financial
situation that only seems
"to be affecting Europe and
the US have any connection
"to the swarmers?
"It's odd that the middle
East, China and East,
"South America and so forth
"doesn't seem to be having
such money problems?"
Well, how could Brazil
have money problems
when we send all of our deep
shore drilling rigs down
to drill off shore,
and then we're gonna buy the oil
and your money is gonna
go to Central America,
or how about all the oil
we're paying from swarmers,
that's to say countries
that are actually our enemy.
We're paying them big time.
And why wouldn't China smile?
40 cents of every
dollar we spend,
they're loaning it and then
we're having to buy back.
We can't complain too much.
There's only one
way if you're broke.
There's a little
more to this also.
You need jobs and Canada
has this beautiful sand oil.
It's a high grade oil.
And they wanted to
sell it to America.
They're a friend and an ally.
They wanted to sell that oil
to us, but oh no, no, no.
We can't approve that,
let them sell it to China,
and they will.
And if something isn't done,
they will sell it to China
and again, China
will get real well
and we'll be buying
oil from our enemies
until, if we're not careful,
we could even be defeated.
So yeah, the swarmers have
quite a bit to do with it.
Bob from Indiana.
Why did Satan tempt
job if he knew
that his fate was
not going to give in?
You misunderstand Satan.
Satan temps a lot of people
and boy, they're just
mush in his hand.
And what he said to God
in chapter one and two
in the great book
of Job, he said,
"Hey, you've got
him all protected,"
and God does it as
long as you ask for it,
there's a protecting
ring around God's elect.
And Satan said, "If you just
remove that ring of protection,
"your wing, I can have
him eating out of my hand
"in just a short time."
He really believed
he could do it.
He thinks he's that good?
And do you know something?
With most people
he is that good.
He can swarm them,
he can con them,
he can buy them,
they're for sale.
If he wants to buy
them and sure enough,
a lot of them sell
out pretty cheap.
He thought he
could convince Job.
Well, he got fooled.
Joe is just like
one of God's elect.
They will stand against
Satan to the very last end.
Deborah from Kentucky,
Pastor Murray, do all the
elect get delivered up?
Most likely in locals,
all the way locals
and some even on up into
Jerusalem where he is,
they will be tried.
But as you know, in
Hebrews, I'm sorry,
in Revelations 2:10,
no one individual,
this gets personal, and
we'll have over 10 days trial
before the antichrist,
that's a guarantee.
After that, you can sit
back and enjoy the show
because we're gonna win.
What happens to the first
ones that deliver up
after they've finished
their testimony?
Well, I just said, didn't I?
Satan, many are gonna say,
well, Satan would
kill him surely.
No he won't.
How can he be playing
the role of Christ
and he's murdering people.
Have you ever read where
Christ murdered somebody?
No, of course not.
So he can't not be
an imposter of Christ
if he goes around
killing people.
You'll try to butter them up
then won't any of them buy it.
They're gonna be like Job.
What will happen to our
pets if we are called.
Well, God always
takes care of things,
don't you worry about it.
Question, Susie from Indiana.
Are there many
places in the Bible
where God lets us
know we will be
with our beloved pets again?
Somebody must be really.
All we can say is
read Isaiah 11.
God loves his animals.
And it is in our nature
that we love God's animals.
They are such good pets and
are so excellent in working.
My granddad was the
horse and mule buyer
for the horse and mule
company out of Fort Worth
up in Oklahoma when I was
in high school and younger
and we broke a lot of
horses right through there
back in those days.
They built America.
We've got, right here
at Gravette, Arkansas,
the railroad runs
right through here.
And I know people
that were aware
and sold part of the mules
that the railroad
company ran into,
cut some of these writeaways.
It wasn't done with bulldozers,
it was done with horsepower.
So God loves his animals.
He did in the first earth
age, he does in this one.
And you can read in Isaiah 11,
when we're in
millennium in heaven,
they're there with us.
And there's just one problem,
one difference rather,
there are no carnivores, why?
Because they also are
in spiritual bodies.
Jean from Iowa.
I love listening and learning
God's word on your program.
Well, thank you.
I'm a little mixed up
about the 10 virgins.
The first ones were
taken by Christ
and the last five
didn't have enough oil.
Are Christians the first
taken or are the last taken?
Well, the last weren't taken.
They were told, "Depart
from me, I never knew you."
The first five are Christians
and believe it or not, the
last five are Christians.
They make it Christians all
the way to the 11th hour say,
'cause that's when it was.
In the 11th hour
they all made it
but then some of
them didn't realize
the false Christ
was coming first.
They didn't have enough oil,
which is truth, in their lamp.
You see, oil from
the olive tree,
there's a great deal in
this in the languages.
Olive in the Hebrew
tongue is el-ah'-yah.
Do you understand those
are two names of God?
One the title and the
other, the sacred name
in the oil of our people.
Have you ever wondered
why we use it to anoint?
Have you ever wondered
why Christos, Christ,
means the anointed one
with that oil of our people
and Christians are
supposed to use it?
Of course, and so it is.
But the second five,
everybody that claims
to be a Christian,
they're just really not
because they're wrapped up
and deceived by the
traditions of men
that make void the word of God.
It's quite simple.
They're taught and many of them,
they're not going to be here
when that wedding takes place,
they're gonna fly away.
Well, that's not biblical.
It is not written and so it
is that they will be deceived.
When the false Christ comes,
they're gonna think it
is they're flying away.
And so a lot of
them won't make it,
but then, hey, we'll
have him to work on
in the millennium taking
names, kicking dragon.
Marlin from Minnesota,
did the destruction
of the first earth age
when the firmament,
was it when the firmament fell
and did this make the grand
Canyon and the rock formations
in Southwest the USA?
It was part of it, yes.
It's also the reason
the plates shifted.
Do you wanna see actual proof
of it in this generation?
All you have to
do is make a trip
to Ash Falls
Nebraska State Park.
I'll say that again, Ash
Falls Nebraska State Park.
Do you know what
you'll find there?
You'll find, in that state park,
they are digging on a great dig.
And do you know what
they're finding?
We've been there, we
have a documentary on it.
Rhinoceroses five
types of camel.
Every African animal
basically there is,
none we have in this country.
It's a piece of Africa right
in the middle of America.
How did it get there.
Well, it's because
the plate shifted.
And that's why, I mean,
hey, the reason this Ash
Fall is there was an eruption
of a volcano in Idaho,
if I remember correctly,
I think it was Idaho,
it came over and covered
all of Nebraska with Ash
where these animals would
go to the waterholes
and it killed them because the
ash just covered everything.
As a matter of fact, you
can still see the Ash there.
It's kind of crystal
looking stuff.
But there you will find that
the animals were not torn up
by carnivores and scattered.
They're in perfect order.
Even the camels tail, every
joint, right in place,
documenting that there was
an earth age before this one,
the catapult brought down
that firmament spill,
the plates erupted, one
slipped over, they divided,
and we have the nations
as they are today.
It's all gonna go back in place.
Revelation 21, demands that
the firmament goes back
where it was, there will
be no oceans, no lakes,
it'll be perfect,
it will be watered
from the due every night,
no storms, and so it is.
Francis and Don from Oklahoma.
"My husband and I watch
you every...," thank you.
"My question is in
Mark 11, 15, 16, and 17
"about the sales in the temple.
"It's my understanding it
is the house of our father
"and the house of prayer.
"Is it okay for churches
to have sales..."
I don't want, we don't.
We have no sales to raise
money, we never beg for money.
God does not send out beggars,
but I do not wanna
judge another church.
We never pass a
plate in our church.
There's never an
offering taken up.
There is a box, an
offering box at the back,
that's your own personal
business, I could care less
because I know God sent us
and I know that we
don't have to beg
because God doesn't
send out beggers.
So I don't wanna talk
about raising money.
If somebody else
wants to do that,
we just do not judge other
churches, but we don't.
And thank you for the question.
Rinaldo from New York.
"I want to know why
there were animals
"in the first earth age,
because they were flesh
"and God said, flesh and
blood cannot be in heaven.
"Dinosaurs were blood and flesh.
"This is something I
would like to know."
Well, haven't you read a chapter
in 2 Peter we were
reading in earlier,
the third chapter of 2 Peter.
There's a heaven age and
there's an earth age.
The dinosaurs were
not in heaven.
The dinosaurs were
on this earth,
that's why we can find
them here, the remains.
So it is true.
Dinosaurs could not have
been in heaven in flesh
because flesh and blood
cannot enter heaven
for one simple reason,
it's a different dimension.
It's spiritual and flesh is
flesh and earth is earth.
Heaven is heaven, heaven
is wherever God is.
So probably what you're thinking
of the first earth age
still had an earth,
it still had a heaven
and that's why Peter
teaches it as such.
Phil from Georgia,
"When Jesus preached to
the captives in prison,
"it said some were free.
"It looks to me like they all
would be fighting to be free.
"I just wondered why
some were were fearful."
I think that's
what that word is.
You know, we know that
in 1 Peter 3:18,
he preached to the prisoners.
In chapter four in the verses,
We know a lot of them were free.
We're not to judge people
so we don't know how many
were and how many weren't.
But that was kind of their
millennium, so to speak
but those that didn't will
still have the millennium
and maybe we can kick dragon
and take some names there.
It'll all work out.
Not all.
It's difficult for me
as well as I can see
that it is for
you, to understand
after someone
visually sees Christ,
his power and his authority,
how they could
possibly love Satan.
But we know from God's word,
the 20th chapter of Revelation,
that certainly some
of them still will.
Judy from Missouri.
Let me add too.
We don't want them with us
any longer, rid of them,
the second death, which ends
the 20th chapter of Revelation,
Judy from Missouri,
"How do you go about
telling someone
"that the rapture is untrue?"
Well, you could first say,
where is that word in the Bible?
And that's not really
a fair, but it's not.
The word rapture is
not in the manuscripts,
it's not in any
translation and so it is.
We do not.
As a matter of fact, Paul,
in 2 Corinthians, I'm sorry,
2 Thessalonians 2, he
makes it very clear.
He said, "I wanna
talk to you about
"our gathering back to Christ."
This is one of the
simplest places
if you can get
someone to listen.
It's not gonna happen until
after the son of perdition
is revealed in the Holy
place claiming to be God,
we're just not,
it's not gonna be.
He said, don't let
our first letter,
where most people get the
rapture doctrine, deceive you.
It's not gonna happen.
You're not going to
go back to Christ
and gather back to him until
after the antichrist appears.
But if you need
more help with it,
I have a tape titled
rapture doctrine.
Order it and you'll
be well equipped.
Brenda, from Florida.
You see, I could say real easy.
If you've got a
standard King James,
in Ezekiel 13:20-25, God says,
"Don't you dare cover
my outreach saving arms
"with your kerchiefs
that you sow
"and teach my children to
fly, to save their souls.
"I'm against it."
It's God who wants
to do the saving.
Brenda from Florida,
"I enjoy," thank you.
"My husband will not let
me watch your program on TV
"but thanks to God
"I found the daily
show on the computer.
"I'm so blessed to
be able to watch it.
"Thank you very much for
being in the internet."
Well, you are so welcome
and we're happy to
be on the internet.
I hope we haven't
spilled the beans.
If your husband doesn't
watch television,
well, then I guess
he won't know anyway.
Well welcome aboard,
good to have you.
I'm not gonna say it, thank
goodness you found it.
Don from,
I don't know where Don is from,
let's see, from Maryland.
Don from Maryland.
"I want to know if I
confess with my mouth
"and believe in all my heart
that Jesus died for my sins
"and repent for my sins
"and live my life
staying in the word,
"learning the word
and being good
"to the poor, homeless and
the sick I'll go to heaven."
You should be good to everybody,
but you don't need
to knock yourself out
and just do what you can.
"My daughter wants to know
were there angels around God
"before he created the world?"
Yeah, there were
'cause he said to,
you were there and he said,
let us create man in our image.
You were there and you look
just like you did then.
That throws some people
but you didn't come out
from under a rock out
here in the woods.
You came from God.
You were with him.
If you live a Christian
life then naturally,
it's not complicated.
John 3:16 says, "If
God so loved the world,
"he gave his only begotten son
"that whosoever believes
upon him shall not perish
"but shall have
everlasting life."
Linda from Ohio.
"Did I understand you just
say that in the last days,
"there will be no
more babies born,
"that all the spirits will
have come down to earth
"and have to be born to woman?
"If I understand correctly,
"please tell me where to
find it in the Bible."
You misunderstood what I said.
There will be no babies
born in the millennium
because we'll all be
in spiritual bodies.
It is written in the Apocrypha
that the time will change
when all souls have
been born of woman
and those in the end are weaker.
And it escapes my mind
where that is right now
because it's in, I
believe in Esdras
which is the Greek
word for Ezra.
And I I cannot pull it up in
my little computer mind here,
exactly where that
is, but it is written.
But what I was talking
about was the millennium
and spiritual bodies, there
will be nobody born, why?
Because spiritual bodies
do not have a womb.
Tom, from South Carolina,
"I have to work seven days
a week to make ends meet.
"Is this wrong
according to the Bible?
"What does the Bible
say about this?"
Don't be in bondage
to man's rules
or God doesn't make rules
that will put you
in bondage either.
Christ answered this
in the 13th chapter
of great Luke, of Saint Luke
where he would talk about the 18
that the Tower of
Siloam fell on.
They weren't bigger
centers than anybody,
they were just under the tower,
it fell and they got mashed.
And then he goes on
and he wrote answers
about working on the Sabbath
that if you have
an ox in a ditch
you're gonna pull him out.
Well, naturally, if you
have to support your family,
they're more precious than a ox.
18, don't put yourself
in boundaries.
That's what Luke 13 means.
I'm out of time.
I love you all
because you enjoy studying
God's word chapter by chapter
and verse by verse but most
of all, God loves you for it.
You know what?
It makes his day.
When you take the letter
he's written you and read it,
absorb it, pray over
it, makes his day.
When you make his day, boy,
is he gonna make yours.
Were brought to you by
your tithes and offerings.
If we have helped you, you
help us keep coming to you.
Won't you do that, you bless
God, He will always bless you.
Now listen to me and
you listen real good.
Most important, you stay
in his word every day.
In his word is a good
day even with trouble.
You know why?
Because Jesus, Yeshua,
He is the living word.
