praise him let's thank him today lord jesus we love you god for your blessings and goodness for your wonderful blessings upon us thank you lord for the church thank you for your people thank you lord for your word thank you for your spirit we thank you for our time together here today bless the word to our hearts in jesus name we pray amen god bless you you may be seated praise the lord we're happy for all of you that are here with us here today we've got handouts for you so our ushers are going to be handing out the handouts for our lesson for today and we're going to be looking at chapter 10 of the book of revelation i think it was in last week's lesson or the week before we had chapter six or something like that it was actually lesson six this is lesson seven i think last week in chapter six it meant that it was meant to be uh than six and uh and we never caught the error there and uh so today we're going to go into lesson seven and the chapter that we're going to be dealing with is chapter 10 in your bible before i get started and while you're getting the handouts of what i'm going to be talking about here today i just want to bring you up to speed here with time chart with some charts on where we are and what we're looking at in the book of revelation this is a very interesting study as you well know studying the book of revelation because it deals with the end time things that are coming to pass and nobody knows exactly when they will be but we know it's that we're drawing close to that period of time this is a timeline of uh the beginning to the end of the church age appeared above the uh of man's time on the earth let me get this i'll hit the right one here in a minute focus automatic i'm not getting any focus here brother this is an automatic focus but i don't know why it's not focusing now let's see if it does okay i messed it up yeah i messed it up then i had to straighten it out all right this is the timeline look at it very closely here many of you have seen this chart before and i won't spend much time on it but this is the old testament here this starts with adam over here far left hand corner and it gives you timelines it goes to the flood which appeared to 1500 years it goes over to abraham here which is about 2 000 years 2 000 years before abraham was adam and then 2 000 years after abraham was calvary so this whole period of time is about 4 000 year period of time calvary here is where jesus came and was rejected by israel and then israel was uh was just was overrun over and destroyed by the romans and scattered throughout the world and they are there to this day now during after that happened god established the church this is where acts chapter 2 comes in where we have been we're instructed to repent of our sins be baptized in jesus name and be filled with the spirit and then god established the church age this is the kingdom of god on earth this is spoken of in the book of daniel that it would come to pass and it has been for a period of 2000 years and israel in the meantime is scattered throughout all the world now the next major event to take place that is spiritual is the coming of the lord the lord is coming back for his people he'll come from the sky yeah he says if you see them they're out in the desert don't even go there you see there in the inner chamber don't even go there he said when he comes back he will come back from the eastern sky praise the lord it'll just light up and the lord will come like the noonday sun and he will come back when he ascended into heaven on mount of olives uh he said just as you see me go away so shall i come again so as you see him go up he'll come back the way he went up he won't be coming down the street with a bathroom flip-flops on things like that you know some i'm just saying that there's deceivers of all types you know i went to korea one time there was a guy over there claimed he was the messiah and son me on the moon and he claimed he was messiah and had a big following of people i've had a bunch of american young people following him and everything guy's dead now and uh he's going on to meet his maker you know i hate to be in his shoes but anyhow getting back to the part here there will be a rapture of the church when the lord comes back and will be caught away and following that will be a tribulation period now the tribulation period will be followed by and that's a short period of time we don't know how long that is if we knew how long that was we could maybe more know when the coming of the lord is here in the rapture but since we don't know how long this tribulation period is but we guess and this is uh this is uh just a guess it can be anywhere from from 10 to 14 years or longer we don't know how long it is but at the end of that period of time there's going to be armageddon now during this tribulation period it's where we're where we are now and what we're studying following that would be armageddon then following that would be a thousand years of peace on the earth and that be gog and magog we'll talk about all that later there's going to be the white throne judgment in which god will judge every person has ever lived on the face of the earth the beginning of time to the end except god's people the church and the bible said we are judged daily and we will sit with him on the seat of judgment and then from there it says that there will be a new heaven a new heaven up here uh jerusalem new jerusalem and a new earth and there'll be the lake of fire and there's a hail over here too but hell will be cast into the league of fire i won't go any further in all of this only to say that this is what we're looking at now this is what we have been looking at what the events that will happen after the rapture jesus said when you see all these things come to pass the certain signs of the end time when you see these signs of the end time coming to pass then look up for your redemption dorth night because you've got to be ahead of what's going to take place i remember as a boy hunting up in northwest florida deer hunting deer with the hunters up there and they would take us and give us a shotgun set us on a road a little dirt road in the woods a big big wooded area and it'd be a current turn in the road and they would say now when a deer crosses the road shoot him when you see him shoot him okay now we're going to turn the dogs loose there are beagles and things like that and they get the chasing the deer can outrun the dogs but they just out they just stay ahead of them just a little bit and the dogs usually wear out and tire out but when the deer are when the dogs are running they're barking so as you hear the barking sound like this coming up you know the deer is out ahead of him you see what i'm saying so when you hear the sound going from right going to the left like this you know the deer is going from right to left but if you hear it the other way you know it's the other way you know that's how you can tell by the dogs barking and how the sound of them are changing and the deer is not with the dogs he's ahead of the dogs so you've got to be looking down the road when you hear the bogs barking over here you got to be looking over there because you're going to cross the road let's say that road is right here on this path and you hear the dogs barking over here that deer is back over in here someplace and he's going to be crossing the road same thing with the coming of the lord when you see all these things going to pass and look up for redemption dwell dwarf and i because the coming of the lord will be before all these events take place before the dogs get there you know what i'm talking about everybody's still with me amen now i'm going to uh show you this this is uh uh this is the book of revelation here in general and this is that if i can use again this is that period from here you turn my pin around this is that period from the rapture here over to the end and that's what this tribulation period shows and it's a chart that we put together like this these are all our charts we put together so you can you're welcome to use them any way you want to use them anyhow this is the tribulation period and this is starting with chapter 6 5 4 5 and 6 and all the events now we've already talked about the things that happened in chapter 6 the four horses of the apocalypse and we talked about chapter seven and we talked about chapter eight and we talked about how the one-third of the stars are affected in the moon and so forth one-third of the earth one-third of the sea and all those kind of things we talked about that last week and then we talked about chapter nine and how in chapter nine that one uh one half of the world population will have been killed by the time you get through chapter nine we talked about that last week one fourth is killed in chapter six over here of mankind and then in here now this is a this is a big chart that you cannot see this is they is broken down so these are those sections here so we just you know what we're talking about pale horse represents death one-fourth of the world population dies right here and then over in chapter nine which is over here a great war is fought one-third of mankind killed so one-fourth is killed here that leaves three-quarters and one-third of the three-quarters is it takes away a total half altogether combine these you gotta have so half the world population has been killed or died from something terrible by the time you get the job now we're going in now into chapter 10 and uh and this is the end of the mystery of god we're going to talk to you about that if so i'm going to if you would with me i'm going to put this up on the phone the screen up here and this is the lesson that we have today everybody have a lesson in their hand all right this is the lesson that we've got here and we're looking at 10 1-2 and i want you to turn with me in your bible to revelations chapter 10. praise god well the lord is good and thank god for the church i want to start reading with the very first verse and i saw another mighty angel come down from heaven this is chapter 1 verse 10 verse 1 a chapter 10 verse 1 and i saw another mighty angel come down from heaven clothed with a cloud and a rainbow was upon his head and his face was as it were the sun and his feet as the pillars of fire now he saw a throne and he saw the glory and the fire and he goes on to talk a little bit about it while you're there turn back over to revelations chapter 4 and 2. this is just a few chapters back we're in chapter 10 go back to chapter 4 and verse 2. and this is where john first saw somebody appeared in this throne that he saw uh chapter 4 verse 2 and immediately i was in the spirit and behold a throne was set in heaven and one sat on the throne verse 3 and he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone and there was a rainbow round about the throne notice here both in chapter 4 and also in chapter 10 it talks about the throne with a rainbow about it now whenever you see this in the bible it's to let us know that god is reminding us he keeps his promise he keeps his promise the rainbow represents god keeping his promise let me uh let me make mention to you about something over here in genesis i'm going to genesis chapter 9 for a moment this is when the lord had was speaking to noah and his family when they came out of the ark i'm looking here at 9 11. i'm going to do this very quickly here and he says i will establish my covenant with you neither shall all flesh be cut off anymore by water of a flood neither shall there be any more be a flood to destroy the earth verse 12 and god said this is the token of the covenant verse 13 i do set my bow in the cloud that's the rainbow i do set my bow in the cloud that's my token when you see that is to remind you that i keep my promises praise the lord now down in verse 16 he repeats that and the bow shall be in the cloud and i will look upon it that i may remember the everlasting covenant and so forth now when you see this in these images and these visions that are happening it's god saying i want you to be reminded that i keep my promises when i make a covenant or i make a promise i never fail it may go for a while but i always keep my promises and folks sometimes god's got to give us a rainbow to remind us that he's given us a promise some of us have individual promises we prayed and sought the lord and maybe from his word or from just from an experience in god in prayer we have a promise from god and sometimes it goes on and on you think i wonder if god will ever fulfill that promise he will praise the lord with the rainbow praise the lord is always in the cloud that's that's interesting always in the clouds never in the sunny day you don't see a rainbow on a sunny day you see it in the cloud praise the lord and i can remember one time being up in georgia and i had a friend i invited him come up to come i went up he came down from michigan and we spent a week his his family and our family if it's been a week together and we were at this little little house we rented on a lake and everything and he was down and had gone through a lot of trials and tests so i wanted to encourage him so i just invited him to come there and spend a week with us and we'll just kick around together well the first second day we were there we were sitting on the front porch and uh there had been some kind of a little rain way off in the distance and a big rainbow appeared you've seen them i mean it went from one side clear over to the other just as bright and clear as it could possibly be and then it was a double rainbow you've seen those kind of double rainbow where it's like there's two rainbows and ones above the other and the colors are reversed and it's just amazing and he he looked at that rainbow and i looked at the rainbow and we both started thinking god you keep your promises and he began to you know worship god and pray we just sit there on that porch and looked at that rainbow and prayed just worship god seeing that rainbow and knowing that god has promised that he'll take us through and sure enough he went back and it wasn't long until he got through his problem and he later told me he said i remember that rainbow that god sort of let me know he wasn't going to fail me praise god so god keeps his promises sister myers and i were driving wickham we were coming from from uh interstate 95 we were going east and we saw a big rainbow in the clouds now this is the truth i've never had this experience ever in my life except this one time and as as as wickham road began to turn toward the south a little gradually everything the rainbow which stayed in the east but the end of the rainbow became more and more out ahead ahead of us and i saw way down the road where we were turning now going south and into the rainbows down there and i said well maybe there's a pot of gold down there somewhere i don't know you know the story next thing i know he was on top of the car ahead of me he said she said look at the car ahead of us it's got the rainbow come running down on top of it i said yeah you're right and we went a little further and next thing you know was on the hood of our car the rainbow i actually saw the end of the rainbow in the hood of my car and i thought man i've never been this close i'll i'll vouch for this boat no potter rainbow believe it i'm no pot of gold at the end of it i can vouch for that because if it would have been sitting right on top of my hood of my car well anyway i'm just for that i just gave you all that for free that doesn't mean anything but i do want to just tell you here that god has put the rainbow there to remind us that he never forgets that he won't ever forget so when you feel discouraged you feel down never think god is saying i'm not going to forget now the reason god showed that here is that he is reminding john the revelator that he has not forgotten israel that they have been scattered throughout the world that's what that's coming to this 10th chapter is a build up to the restoration of israel it's a buildup to that one other verse of verse scripture i want to give you here this is over in ezekiel chapter one this is uh this is what it says also about the rainbow this is 126. and above the firmament that was over their heads there was a likeness of a throne ezekiel now is describing a throne he saw in his day which was uh uh about 700 years before the one in revelation he said that was over his head was the likeness of a throne as the appearance of a sapphire stone and above the light and so the throne was the likeness of the appearance of a man above upon it i'm going to jump over very quickly uh 27 he goes on to describe this throne and then in verse 28 he says as the appearance of the bold that is in the cloud in the day of rain so was the appearance of the right the brightness that round about this was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the lord so i'm just pointing out to you again god showed him the rainbow now we were to follow through with ezekiel here the lord tells him that you're going to have to preach to the children of israel and you have to tell them that god is going to judge them for their unrighteousness and so forth so it has to do with israel now i'm going to go back here to the book of revelation because i want to leave this subject about the rainbow and move on a little bit further here look at chapter 10 verse 2 chapter 10 verse 2 and uh here's my pen and i want you to look at revelation chapter 10 verse 3 rather look at chapter 3 verse look at three verse 3 and he cried with a loud voice when a lion roared and when he had cried seven thunders uttered their voices seven thunders wow and when the seven thunders had uttered their voices i was about to write and i heard a voice from heaven saying unto me seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered and write them not how many would like to know what the seventh utter thunders uttered and they were sealed up and never ridden yeah i would too i don't know i don't know of anybody that knows it was sealed up but the lord told him to seal up the thunders and they were to do it and uh i want you to turn back again i was just over in ezekiel and over in ezekiel it mentions about that praise god let me go to something else here i uh daniel is where i want to go i'm sorry daniel daniel chapter 4 daniel chapter 12 well this is what happened with daniel let me get to daniel here okay daniel 12 and verse 4 but thou o daniel shut up the words and seal the book even to the time of the end now the angel gabriel had been showing daniel all kinds of things that was going to come to pass at the very end with the children of israel he told them all about all through the book of daniel he talks about israel talks about how they're going to be scattered throughout the world and so forth and then he talks about how that at the end time and he starts telling him that there's going to be a time of trouble and then there's going to be a time of deliverance and then he says but thou o daniel shut up the word seal the book this is verse 4 12 4 to the time of the end many shall run to and fro knowledge shall increase and then he went on talking to daniel about some of these things and daniel still was curious about what was that going to be at the very end and he says here in verse 8 and i heard but i understood not then said i o my lord what shall be the end of these things verse 9 and he said go thy way daniel for the words are closed up and sealed to the time of the end many shall be purified and made white and tried but the wicked shall do wickedly and none of the wicked shall understand but the wise shall understand folks let me say this in these last days god's people will understand why a lot of things are going on the way they are not everything but we'll understand some things the wicked will not understand if you walk with god and you serve the lord god will open your mind to your heart and your understanding to a lot of things while they're happening what's going on where we are and so forth but the wicked will not know those things and will not understand those things i'm going to move on a little bit further here and and finish up this one part here but he says that the wise will understand look down at verse 13. but go thou way this is the last verse of daniel 2 go thou way till the end be for thou shalt rest and stand in thy lot at the end of the days so daniel said was told that he had to seal up some things and so john likewise there were some things that was uttered and he said seal them up but it has to do with the restoration of israel when is god going to turn israel back to him and there's a lot that is stated and declared about that one more little thing here i want you to look at back up to verse two here and uh this is where he's talking about the angel and that was sitting on the throne the rainbows over and he had in his hand a little book opened and he said his right hand upon the sea and his left foot upon the earth look at down in verse 8. down in verse 8 with us a little book here this is c on your in your lesson there and the voice which i heard from heaven speaking to me again and said go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which stand upon the sea and upon the earth and i went unto the angel and said unto him give me the little book now remember a book is a scroll back in those days it's not a book like we have a book books were scrolls and so this is what it would have looked like if somebody was talking about a book i was in israel in jerusalem and i saw isaiah's book the book of isaiah and it was a scroll that was rolled up and they had dead sea scrolls in a museum there and they had it wrapped around his whole areas as big as this one section over in here and it was all the way around the book of isaiah and it would have been a long scroll roll together isaiah i think got 50 66 chapters in it anyhow it was wrapped around it was a scroll you could walk around it and and if you read if you knew hebrew you could read hebrew you could read it amen i didn't know hebrew and i never will know it but anyhow it was interesting seeing that the book and our guide says everything that you see written in isaiah here is 99 accurate with your king james version that's what he said he said that to us so it's interesting anyhow let me move on here a book is a scroll and anyhow he said go and take the little book which is open to the hand of the angel this is verse 8 i'm reading here the latter part of it the hand of the angel was standeth upon the sea and upon the earth verse 9 and i went unto the angel and said unto him give me the little book and he said unto me take it and eat it up it shall be made that belly bitter but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey and verse 10 says and i took the little book out of the angel's hand and ate it up and it was in my mouth sweetest honey and as soon as i had eaten it my belly was bitter and he said unto me thou must prophesy again before many people nations in tongues and kings these are gentiles that he's talking about here nations tongues and kings they must prophesy against them now i want to show you another place here we're looking at ezekiel a while ago and we were looking at ezekiel chapter one in ezekiel chapter two the same experience happened to ezekiel about a book look at this look at verse nine two nine i'm showing you here that what happened to john in the book of revelation okay it happened over here in chapter 2 of in verse 9 with ezekiel and when i looked behold in hand was sent unto me and lo a roll of a book was therein and he spread it before me and it was written therein and without and there was written therein lamentations and mournings and woes these are judgments against israel that was being given to him now chapter 3 verse 1 moreover he said unto me son of man eat that thou findest eat this roll and go speak unto the house of israel. so i opened my mouth he caused me to eat that roll and he said unto me son of man cause thy ability to eat be filled with with our bowels with this roll that i may give thee then did i eat it and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness same thing as you see over in john and he said unto me son of man go get thee into the house of israel and speak with my with my words unto them for thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language but to the house of israel now what is being given to ezekiel is that god is giving you the word and you must go forth now and speak the words to them it's going to be hard it's going to be tough it's going to be negative but they've got to hear it because i'm sending judgment upon israel and that's what god was saying but i will also send restoration i will also send this to restoration when i send judgment and scatter israel throughout all the world i won't forget them i'm not going to forget them and even though they may think i've forgotten them i have not forgotten them that's what the rainbow thing is all about but you've got to preach the word even though you don't want to tell them what i'm going to have to do with judgment now over here in the book of revelation it's the same thing they was telling john praise the lord there's some judgment that's coming on the gentiles praise the lord and it's going to be bitter but you're going to have to give it out praise don't have to tell it and be you know the hope of salvation jesus will save us uh is the sweetness but the judgments of god that will follow if we do not repent of our sins and be saved is going to be those things of bitterness uh i won't go any further into that except that this is where the lord says i'm going to leave the gentiles and turn back to israel as a nation now look at this verse look at verse 7 with me we're in 10. i'm backing up to verse 7. everybody's still with me here maybe this will clear up a little bit here when i get into the next part here let me talk to you about the mystery revelation 10 7. if you haven't heard anything else or it doesn't fit together stay with me on this one chapter 10 verse 7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel when he shall begin to sound the mystery of god should be finished as he have declared to his servants the prophets praise the lord the mystery of god i'm going to talk to you about the mystery of god what is the mystery and he said the mystery of god is going to be finished in other words chapter 10 is a wrap up of things wrap up of things uh he actually sounds the trumpet in 1115 and the seventh angel sounded and that was a great voice from heaven the kingdom of this world or become the kingdoms of our lord and of his christ and he shall reign forever and ever and so forth now i want to talk to you a little bit about this uh mystery of god if you have your bibles there and i want you to go with me here too first of all to ephesians this is in your notes ephesians 3 i'm going to show you what the mystery is everybody ready for the mystery all right look at ephesians 3 and 3. this is paul writing to the ephesian church the ephesian church was a gentile church and he's writing to them and he said how that by revelation he god made known unto me that it's paul the mystery as i wrote before in few words he mentions also in chapter one verse nine i won't go back to that verse 4 whereby when you read you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of christ which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the spirit what is the mystery of god and this is what it is in verse 16 that's six if you've got a pen put a bracket around six and put a ring around it that the gentiles should be fellow heirs and of the same body and partakers of his promise in christ by the gospel in other words what jesus christ brought to the jews or intended to bring to the jews and they were it was rejected by the jews the lord passed along to the gentiles that's why he sold his told his disciples just before he said into heaven go into all the world preach the gospel lord with you always even at the end of the world he that believeth in is baptized should be saved either belief or not should be damned this is the gospel to the whole world the jews had rejected him and they said let his blood be upon us what shall we do the man tries to crucify and crucify him let his blood be upon us and upon our children and when they did that they brought judgment upon themselves that would cause them to be scattered throughout the world for up until this time today that's why jews are all over the world everywhere because they've been scattered they never have been brought back i know israel as a nation has established themselves as a nation over in palestine at this point but there's so much contention and friction god has not yet stepped in there and given them total total revision and and and and returned back to their land uh this is what was going on here whenever the lord spoke to him in ephesians he said i'm going to give you this mystery look at verse 9. he said to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery which from the beginning of the world have been hid in god who created all things by jesus christ this mystery was hid the lord never revealed to anybody that he would one day have the jews and gentiles together can be saved folks that's what the church age is all about if you're a jew you can be saved if you're a gentile you can be saved if you're a european you can be saved if you're an african you can be saved if you're an asian you can be saved or oriental it doesn't matter with god whoever will believe if we will believe praise the lord and believing involves action believing always has an action with it by faith they marched around the walls of jericho you know by faith they walked out of egypt by faith you leave the world by faith you repent of your sins by faith you you say i'm going to be baptized and have my sins washed away by faith you ask god to give you the holy ghost and you receive it you understand what i'm saying so it's it's by faith that we're saved not by the works of the law the works of the law in the old testament that's what paul talks about throughout many of the gospel the epistles rather is not to try to find christ or live for christ or live for god in the new testament by the works of the law it's not offering sacrifices at an altar it's it's not trying to it's not trying to keep the seventh day only as the sabbath day and in fact the first day of the week was the was their day of rest to the early church they they made that to pay the day of rest the day not the sabbath so much as as the day of the lord they called it so i'm just trying to sell you here today and it's not the kind of food you eat when it's a matter of this kind of food the bible says that it's sanctified by the word of god that's why we pray we pray we we pray and thank god for the food we also pray and ask god to sanctify it so if you've got a strip of bacon on your plate and it's pork you know in the old testament jews they don't eat pork but you're going to eat pork you say god sanctify the food and when you pray and you pray and you say god sanctify the food and that pork is sanctified you know or you can eat lobster you need shrimp you know jews don't eat oil they don't eat that unless it's got scales and i won't go any further but you know what i'm talking about so i'm just just trying to say here it's not in the foods we it's not in the works of the law but it's in our faith in jesus christ and that's what paul was bringing out here praise god so it will obey the word of the lord walk with god and keep him and this is what the mystery was all about now let me go a little bit further here with the thing about the mystery here uh if i can also i'll refer to another scripture here uh found in uh the end of ephesians and this is the last chapter in ephesians this is chapter six of ephesian that go solid you're okay all right and for me that utterance may be given unto me that i may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel the mystery of the gospel it's all about the gentiles and jews being saved together now stay with me here i have a reason for telling you all i feel myself cutting out here all right are we okay all right sister basin let me know if if my sound goes out all right thank you and uh he talks about these things now let me read something to you here over in romans chapter 2 of chapter 11 romans 11 25. look at this this is paul talking lord not brethren that you should be ignorant of this mystery he's talking about the mystery now the gospel of the mystery of christ that's been hid in times of old let's you should be conceived you'd be con you should you should be wise in your own conceits that blindness and part has happened to israel until the time the fullness of the gentiles become in the fullness of the gentiles is going to be wrapped up and the the gentile this is our dispensation this is the time of the gentiles gentiles to be saved now this is day folks this is the day of the lord this is the day of salvation that's why you want to pray for your loved ones you want to pray for your relatives you want to pray for your children you want to pray for your people you know you want to pray for your neighbors and ask them to come to church and ask them to pray with you ask them if you can teach them a whole bible study help them to be saved because this is the day of salvation it's not for another time is us gentile this is our time praise god and when we do get saved we don't just sit back and say i'm saved but we start thanking god praising the lord glorifying god and worshiping god and walking with god and keeping his commandments and serving god with all of our hearts now he also says the same thing over in the book of uh in luke luke 21 and this is when he's talking about the judgments of god against israel when they were taken over by the romans verse 20. this is jesus prophesying 21 20 of luke 21 20. when you shall see jerusalem compass with armies then know that the desolation thereof is nigh then let them which are in judea fleet of the mountains and let them which are in the midst of it depart out and let not them that are in their countries enter therein too verse 22 for these be the days of vengeance that all things which are written may be fulfilled i'm jumping down to verse 20 just to save time here talking about the jews here and they the jews shall fall by the edge of the sword and shall be led away captive into all nations than they were and jerusalem shall be trodden down of the gentiles than they were it was until the times of the gentiles be fulfilled the same thing that romans chapter 11 verse 25 says that the mystery will be until the times of the gentiles be fulfilled so two places jesus spoke of it paul spoke of it we are living in the times of the gentiles and this is our time to be saved but it will not last forever everybody with me on that so when he says here in chapter 10 i'm going back to revelations 10 7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel when he shall begin to sound the mystery of god should be finished the mystery that is the jews gentiles together can be saved as one body and the mystery of god should be finished as he hath declared unto his servants the prophets then he goes on to talk about taking the book and swallowing it and so forth and then finally chapter 11 and i'm going to close here with just mentioning a finger saying one or two things to you verse chapter 11 and i'm going to go into this in detail next week i have a great bible lesson for you next sunday morning chapter 11 verse 1 and there was given me a reed like unto a rod and the angel stood rising saying this reed to measure the temple is also very like like that in ezekiel i won't go there but a rod that he's talking about a reed the length of it is about about nine and a half feet about nine and a half feet according to ezekiel's descriptions of it i won't go any further into it but about nine and a half feet and this was what he was given a read backing unto a rod it was a measuring stick he says arise and measure the temple of god and the altar this is all in a vision that he's having and the altar and them that worship therein measured the temple and the altar and them that worship therein but the court which is without the temple leave out and measure it not for it is given unto the gentiles leave it out don't measure it because no more gentiles are being saved here so when you're at this point in the book of revelation that no more gentiles are saved this is it it's all over with you you've come to this you've come to this place in the well let me you've come to this place in this revelation chart right here you come to this spot right here and what we're going to be looking at is god turning back to the gentiles this semi-circle here represents a seven year period it's very pronounced in the bible and i'm going to talk to you a little bit about that i'm talking about the two prophets that will come back and turn the hearts of the jews back to god that's going to happen folks but it'll be during this tribulation period of time and whenever it does the gen no more gentiles will be saved it's now is the day of salvation and you say why don't you talk about then brother meyers because if we know what's coming then we'll know what we need to do now and today is a day of salvation this is not a time to put off living for god it's not a time to mess around fool around with living for god it's time praise the lord to be saved get saved this is the 11th hour this is the 11th hour remember jesus said that the man went out the 11th hour and said come work in my vineyard even if you just work one hour i'll pay you and so god wants to save in these days and hours in which he's living aren't you glad you know god aren't you glad you're saved and god has allowed you and i to know the truth and those praise the lord of this world do not know the truth and they have not this truth praise the lord let's stand together and let's thank him and let's worship him and let's say god we thank you for your wonderful word thank you for truth we thank you for salvation and

chapter 1 where we bring our texts from today glad that you're here in the house of lord thanks for being here colossians chapter 1 beginning in verse 14 reading down through verse 18. of course paul writing to the church of colossi where he started a church and then he's writing and giving discipleship classes and new converts classes teaching them through the the writing of these epistles in the new testament colossians chapter 1 verse 14 reads in whom we have redemption through his blood even the forgiveness of sins who is the image of the invisible god firstborn of every creature for by him were all things created that are in heaven that are in earth visible and invisible whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers or viruses making sure you're following along all things were created by him and for him and he is before all things and by him all things consist and he is the head of the body the church who is the beginning the firstborn from the dead that in all things everybody say all things he might have the preeminence i want to speak this morning on this subject the invisible advocate the invisible [Music] let's pray together lord we're thankful to be in your house thank you for your presence thank you for the opportunity to gather together we feel your presence we know you're here to do a great work prepare our hearts and minds to receive your word help us god to be changed from the inside out we'll give you praise everybody said in jesus name you may be seated thank you for standing portion of the text that we read it says for by him were all things created that are on earth i want to talk about that for just a moment that's the visible stuff everything that we can see he's god of it the good the bad and the ugly he's god of it all nature all creation he is god job chapter 38 beginning in verse 25 job ask a series of rhetorical questions talking about the preeminence of this invisible god he says in verse 25 who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters or a way for the lightning of thunder cause it to rain on the earth where no man is on the wilderness wherein there is no man to satisfy the desolate waste ground and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth hath the reign of father or who hath begotten the drops of dew out of whose womb came the ice the rory frost of heaven who had gendered it the waters are hid as with a stone and the face of the deep is frozen i don't care if you're in the arctic circle or in the south pole if you're in the sahara desert or the amazon rainforest he's god of it all every tree every tulip every termite he's god every drop of rain every rainbow river and rabbit he's god every pain every laugh every hurt every joy every valley every hill every man and every woman he's god of this earth oh hallelujah it may be old school to worship god and to just preach a message that exalts the lord but that's what we intend to do today is to just lift up the lord he's god of everything on this earth the psalmist david said in his hand are the deep places of the earth the strength of the hills is his also every leader every throne every country every crisis there's not anything visible to the naked eye that he's not god of he's god of it all but beyond that he's also god of everything you can't see and it's the things that you can't see that concern us the most i'm enjoying right now driving with my teenage sons as they learn to drive and and get their license to drive on their own and i told them i said if you can see it in driving you can usually avoid it but most accidents are the results of something you never saw boom where did he come from you never saw it if you can see it you can avoid it slow down do something different but it's the things you can't see more than 25 years ago coming home on i-75 got hit by a drunk driver and flipped two and a half times on interstate 75 and landed upside down in the median and god kept me from all the imminent death i'm sure that was there waiting for me i never saw the car hit me i'm just driving along happy as can be and all of a sudden i'm flipping through the air it's the things you can't see that are the most dangerous but i'm glad that our god is not just a god of what i can see he's a god and everything i can't see oh that's why you got to praise him when it appears that everything is going good because you don't know in the invisible world he's still advocating for you he's still fighting for you he's fighting for you in a battle that you're not even aware of good god almighty sometimes you ought to praise the lord for everything you don't know about lord i thank you for everything i can't see i thank you lord from every germ you've protected me from i thank you lord from every accident you protected me from i thank you lord from every disease that i never knew about i thank you lord that you're god in the invisible world you're protecting me on every front what i can't see what i don't know about your god of that too you know it's one thing to wage war against an army of advancing german tanks it's another thing to fight against an invisible dominion it's one thing to fight against the taliban it's another thing to fight against an invisible virus it's what you can't see that's the most dangerous it's the principalities the powers of darkness but i've got good news today he's god of the invisible he's god of the invisible as well he's god of everything that you can't see and the text says that in all things he might have preeminence that's power that's authority he has preeminence you're not just serving an invisible advocate you're serving an invisible king that has preeminence in the invisible world job goes on to say in verse 31 can't thou bind the sweet influences of pilates or loose the bands of orion according to astronomical estimates pleiades is 3 000 billion miles away from the sun and yet this constellation controls the whole of our solar system i want you to think about this for just a moment because they believe that job is the oldest book in the bible but even there they name this solar system pilates and says can't stop buying the sweet influences of ladies i mean they didn't have telescopes they didn't know anything about but god knew about it long before it was known of man long before it was visible to man 3 000 billion miles away from the sun and yet this constellation controls the whole of our solar system because god has been the invisible advocate long before there was an invisible enemy he's been an invisible god that's been working on your behalf long before you stepped through the doors of this church long before you knew the power of the name of jesus he's been your advocate he's been fighting for you he's been standing in the gap he's been your advocate and your counselor jesus whose counsel other than his is authoritative enough to ordain ordinances that will operate such majestic constellations over the range of these gigantic distances with meticulous precision goes on to say canst thou bring forth maserath those are other constellations in his seas and her cancer thou god articus bear with his sons he directs their past he orders their steps and the counselor of the heavens tells them where to go and how to spin and when to shine and that council is demonstrated by their obedience there's no star that's creating some rebellion in the heavens they all give obeisance to this invisible god who has preeminence in the invisible world i'm thankful for what i can see and i'm thankful for a god that's a god in this natural world but i'm thankful for a god that's a god of a supernatural world you don't have to live in fear of satan or lucifer or hell or all of it's himself because our god is greater oh there ought to be a praise among god's people he's bigger he's greater i feel like taking about 25 seconds right now and lifting up our voice in a shout unto him [Applause] crane is the lord and greatly to me praise hallelujah [Applause] [Music] [Applause] whoa gloria glory all the divine ordinances are controlled and coordinated by the council of his omnipotence paul understood the value of being able to see god's power in the invisible realm in romans 1 he stated for the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen for the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made that you and i even his eternal power and godhead so that they are without an excuse we are without excuse because what we see in the natural world is just given to us as an object lesson to let you know that the same god that controls everything that you can see is the same god that's in charge of everything that you can't see and just as nature obeys the voice of its creator there is an invisible realm of dominion that also obey the voice [Music] of our creator so that we are without excuse say pastor aren't you afraid of the virus no i'm afraid of the one who has preeminence over the virus paul continues in teaching timothy in the first chapter verse 17 now unto the king capital k the king eternal the king eternal he's not going to relinquish his throne he's been the king from the beginning he's going to be the king at the end [Applause] he is king eternal immortal he's not going to die he'd not get sick he'd not get discouraged now unto the king eternal immortal invisible invisible you say oh i wish i had a god i could see you go through the old testament every time they created a god that they could see and they made a statue to baal or buddha or whoever guess what any god that you can see is a limited god but an invisible god he's a god that is god of the invisible you didn't create him you didn't make him he's god all by himself but when i think of the goodness of jesus and all he's done for me well there ought to be a shout out there ought to be a praise from god's people he's god of the invisibles he's great and greatly to be broken he's the only wise god be glory and honor forever and ever that's where we can get involved be honor and glory forever and ever i'm not in charge of the invisible world but i got a voice and i can praise the invisible king and i can say lord i thank you though i don't see it all though i don't understand at all i feel your power i feel your strength i feel your courage [Applause] jesus preach aren't you afraid of satan aren't you afraid of sickness i'm more concerned about the invisible king for unto us a child is born unto us the son is given and the government shall be upon his shoulder and his name shall be called wonderful [Applause] wonderful you serve a wonderful god he's not just a great god he's a good god he's a wonderful god he's my song and my strength he's my joy in the border he's my help in the midnight hour everything i need i find in him wonderful wonderful counselor counselor counselor the mighty god the everlasting father the prince of peace wonderful counselor mighty god everlasting father and the prince of peace wonderful counselor [Applause] my question to you today is who is your counselor who is the expert that you are listening to psalms 1 says walk not in the counsel of the ungodly who is your counselor everybody in this building everybody under the sound of my voice is walking by counsel it doesn't matter whether you're the oldest person here or the youngest you may have the finest mind or the most limited it doesn't matter every person is walking by counsel you have been living your life by counsel what is counsel is it advice not exactly though that's part of it counsel is advice that you honor to the extent that you give it obedience who is your counselor what advice are you following to the point that you give it obedience it's not what you consider it's what you take into your life and act upon that's your counsel for christ to be your counselor you have to walk in the way of righteousness you walk by the principles and the precepts of the holy word of god that's our counsel it's not just our consideration it's our counsel [Applause] consider what job said god is the counselor that gives guidance to the universe he's the mastermind of the wonders of every galaxy he's your counselor he's my counselor but he's not just our counselor he's the mighty counselor he's the advocate of the invisible realm i've heard for six months about the invisible enemy we've had an invisible enemy for longer than just six months we've had an invisible enemy before you were born before i was born we have had a prosecutor that's trying to destroy every person that would try to live by biblical principles the bible describes him as a as an accuser of the brethren that's the invisible enemy but even before we had an invisible enemy we had an invisible advocate an advocate is somebody who intercedes for you someone who pleads your case someone who defends you in the heat of the moment invisible world is not so scary when you consider you have an advocate in the invisible world that has preeminence he's not just the invisible advocate he's the invisible king preeminence means surpassing all others invisible advocate has preeminence the advocacy or counsel of the almighty is only as powerful as we give obedience to it when god took on the robe of humanity in bethlehem his counsel was demonstrated who was it that directed the wise men who was it that directed mary and joseph the council of the almighty was demonstrated by the obedience of humanity that's why jesus prayed to the father that's why he referred to the father who sent him and he said not my will but thy will be done it was not another god he told his disciples if you have seen me you have seen the father so what was jesus doing when he prayed to the father it was the manifestation of the counsel of the almighty by the obedience of the flesh that's why he was the mighty god in christ he became the model for the preeminence of god's counsel over man's will he said if you want to have dominion in an invisible world you can't do it on your own but when i obey with my flesh is submitted to his spirit there is preeminence in an invisible realm but a legal counselor cannot help a client that will not listen a marriage counselor is not effective unless the party's following the instructions give heed a pastor cannot give spiritual counsel unless there is obedience and when isaiah foretold that the messiah would be the counselor he was declaring that jesus would demonstrate the omnipotence of the almighty by divine obedience that's why the book says in philippians once again paul writing to a a young established church in the new testament philippians chapter 2 in the church of philippi he begins in verse 6 and says who be it in the form of god thought it not robbery to be equal with god but made himself of no reputation and took upon him the form of a servant who was made in the likeness of men and being found in fashion as a man he humbled himself and became obedient unto death even the death of the cross wherefore it's because of that obedience wherefore god also hath highly exalted him and given him a name which is above every name you want to know why there's power in the name of jesus it's because it reflects obedience to an invisible god you want power in an invisible realm you got to get up every day and say jesus i worship you jesus i give honor to you [Applause] paul goes on to say that at the name of jesus every i said at the name of jesus every knee should bow of things in heaven here we go again and things in earth and now let's expand it and feeds unto the earth he's god of hades he's god of everything under the earth everything that's on the earth everything that's above the earth what you can see what you can't see he's god he's the mighty god and the authority is in the name of jesus that's why the devil don't want you to use the name of jesus because when you declare the name of jesus it reminds him that he doesn't have preeminence in the invisible realm as long as you and i operate in the flesh we are held captive based upon only what we can see but when i say in jesus name good god almighty i'm invoking power into an invisible realm that's why we baptize in the name of jesus that's why we pray for the sick in the name of jesus that's why you cast out devils in the name of jesus oh you ought to practice right now as loud as you can shout the name of jesus [Applause] [Music] let me give you another verse so it becomes even more clear and that every tongue should confess that jesus christ is lord to the glory of god the father all you've got to do is confess and when i call upon jesus if you're in the midst of a trial and you call upon jesus you're confessing that jesus christ is lord to the glory of god the father i don't know how god's gonna bring me through this but i'm gonna call upon the name of jesus i don't understand the doctor's report but i'm gonna call upon the name of jesus i don't know where this cancer came from i'm preaching to somebody prophetically right now but i've got power in the day of jesus i don't know where this trial is gonna take me but i've got power in his name [Applause] the preeminence of god becomes the advocacy of man when we give heed when we obey let me say it again so you get this you don't remember anything else remember this one sentence the preeminence of god becomes the advocacy of man when we give heed i will not give up the counsel of the almighty for the council of the ungodly the reason that we do not have the advocacy of the eternal invisible and mortal king in our life is because we are not giving counsel to the one who can direct our steps instead we sit in the seat of the scornful and we listen to the council of the ungodly ungodly council that dominates our minds and dominates the airways ungodly counsel listening to things that are not of god music that can become the pied piper to the young it leads young people to commit suicide and take drugs and live promiscuous lives because they're walking in the counsel of the ungodly because some rap artist is blaring into my air pods a word that is not of god ungodly counsel in the form of literature evil books and magazines you say oh pastor we're way beyond that then how come harry potter sells more books than anything else we need a bonfire as consuming as the one on the streets of ephesus the bible says in the book of acts chapter 19 and verse 19 many of them which also use curious arts wizards and black magic and and all of this stuff it's not a god it said they brought them together and they burned them before all men and they counted the price of them and founded 50 000 pieces of silver they had spent hard earned money but it was ungodly counsel come on we got to get away from ungodly counsel so we can have the advocacy of a mighty god who has pre-evidence [Applause] they all understand why i don't have power in the invisible world it's because you're giving heed to ungodly counsel in the form of television and movies the philosophy of tv is wrong everything is sold by sex violence is a way of life problems are posed and solved in 30 minutes if you're watching a comedy in one hour if you're watching a drama tv and movies make sin look good and themes of righteousness look foolish if you listen to the council of hollywood you need to take care you need to beware because it is a snare that will destroy your soul and destroy your mind and destroy your family it's the council of the ungodly and david started out the great book of psalms by saying i'm not going to walk in the counsel of the ungodly but my delight is going to be in the law of god and in his law that i meditate day and night you got to make up in your mind my counselor is the mighty god in christ tv and movies they advocate unbridled self-indulgence contending that happiness is to be found in self-indulgence they teach every man do that which is right in your own eyes the book of judges talk about that in chapter 17 and verse 6 they magnify justify and glorify sin and crime they have organized and institutionalized sin and crime they represent drinking dishonesty crime smoking drugs all of these things to be a part of normal human life just as much as breathing and eating and sleeping they have fostered them until they have become national habits they have seized the divine blessings of god music and marriage and love and beauty and laughter and conversation and they are perverting them for gain and they are making money at your demise and my demise because we give ear to it the counsel of the ungodly will leave you destitute discouraged and deranged and you won't know what you're listening to mark david chapman pled guilty to murdering john lennon in central park of new york city he claimed to hear voices from god he wasn't hearing from god he was listening to satan but if you're not listening to god you don't know what's satan what's god and what's your own imagination [Music] paul told the thessalonian christians he said prove all things how do you prove it you prove it by the word of god hold fast that which is good solomon wrote a simple man believes everything you got to be careful what you believe this may come as a great revelation for you but not everything on the internet is truth a simple man believes everything but a prudent man gives thought to his steps a wise man is cautious and avoids danger but a fool plunges ahead with great confidence ladies and gentlemen it is a fact that you will hear what you are listening for and you will see what you are looking for you can be in a crowd of a hundred people and everybody can be talking and all of a sudden you can hear a coin fall out of a pocket and land on a hard surface and everybody will stop and look and turn around because you can hear what you're listening for i sound like somebody just dropped a quarter and everything will become quiet you don't believe it just practice it this afternoon i know we don't have all this social gathering as much as we used to but it's amazing how you can hear what you're listening to i'm listening for the sound of the trumpet come on somebody's got to lift up your head and lift up your eyes for your redemption draweth nigh what are we listening for what are we looking for heaven will be the fulfillment of godly hope and i feel like we need to talk more about heaven because we're getting ready to go to heaven god's getting ready to sound the trumpet come on the angels getting ready to proclaim come on gabriel's getting ready to and the lord said come up hire my people it's time to lift up our ears and to lift up our eyes it's time to turn off the world in fact this next week i want to challenge everybody in this church you ought to disconnect from all the influences of hollywood for one week you ought to play christian music in your car you ought to turn off the news i don't care if it's fox cnn msnbc nbc abc or whatever you want to call it you ought to turn it all off and put on christian music and every night at 7 00 pm you ought to get the family together and say we're going to have church because we found an invisible advocate oh i challenge you in the holy ghost you take one week and give up the counsel of the ungodly and next sunday when we come back here same time same place come on i challenge you in the holy ghost i know not many of you will do it because all of you is still serving that god and you don't even realize you're serving that god but if even there's a handful of us that'll say i can disconnect for seven days when we get back in this place you're gonna find there's a different atmosphere because when god's people say i've listed for another sound there's a change in the atmosphere heaven will be the fulfillment of godly hope it will be the restoration of that which has been fragmented and broken it's the final victory over sin and death heaven is being where god is it's being in his presence it's where we will know the fullness of god's love it's the ultimate result of obeying godly counsel say pastor how can we do that when we're surrounded on every side so many voices so many opinions ow and we hear that clearing and call of heaven writer of hebrews said that moses responded visible advocate with obedience and though he was surrounded with the wealth and the corruption palace egypt powerful nation in the world at that time all of its pull on moses is possibly in line for the throne how was he able to withstand it all how did he do it writer of hebrews declares the solution it's the same now as it was then by faith he referring to moses forsook egypt not fearing the wrath of the king you and i have got to realize god has not given us the spirit of fear but of love and power and a sound mind not fearing the wrath of the king small k the pharaoh the king of egypt he didn't fear him for he endured as seeing him who is invisible how is moses able to resist the temptation of ungodly counsel the temptation of that that was visible it's because he got a revelation of who is king of the invisible. and every day he could endure because he was able to see what others could not see they said christians how can you be so bold how can you be so authoritative your declaration that god will keep you in all situations how because though why everybody else looks at a visible realm we look into an invisible realm instead of our focus being on one person that gets the virus in a church of 300 people not even this church because in six months we can't point to one person that's gotten coronavirus from this church this is the safest environment on the earth but as soon as we hear about one person somewhere went to church got the virus we focus on the one instead of focusing on the 299 that god is protected the focus is on who got sick but what about all of those that have recovered you don't hear about all the thousands that are recovering you don't hear about all the people that are healthy that came through it i say today it's time for the church of the living god to change the narrative he's our healer he's our protector he's the mighty god come on stand to your feet it's time we get back to church it's time we get back to the council of the mighty god he has preeminence i don't know what you may be facing today but i've come to tell you he's given you preeminence i said he's given you preeminence he's given you power and authority you say how do i unleash it by saying god i'm getting my counsel from you i'm going to declare the name of jesus come on you want to lift up your hands all over this building and you ought to declare the name of jesus [Applause] jesus jesus [Applause] come on whatever you're facing jesus jesus come on there needs to be somebody in this place that said i've been listening to the counsel of the ungodly but i'm going to turn my ear toward heaven i'm made up in my mind i'm gonna look under the hills from which cometh my help you don't understand why people in your house are acting the way they are it's because of the counsel of the ungodly you don't understand why people that you're close to seem like they have a different conversation and living in frustration because there's not the counsel of the invisible god it's the council of a ungodly influence but i feel like god is telling this eastwind pentecostal church it's time to turn the tables i said it's time to turn the tables oh god i feel boldness in the holy ghost i feel a breakthrough in the spirit right now if you feel boldness to declare the name of jesus i want to invite you to come out from where you're standing and come in this altar if you don't you want to stay in your pew that's okay we're going to do it all over the building but if you feel bold in your spirit and you say pastor i'm going to declare the name of jesus with everything that's inside of me in just a moment i'm going to turn this microphone off and it's going to be the voices of god's people come on it's time we move away from observation and we move into participation [Music] the way you give obedience to this council is in the declaration of the name of jesus whatever you're facing whatever you're fighting it's in the power of the name of jesus where you're standing in this altar wherever you are i want
