welcome to the Shepherd's chapel Network family Bible study hour with Pastor Arnold Murray wisdom is understanding god's word pastor Murray's unique teaching approach brings God's Word alive with meaning as he takes you on a chapter by chapter verse by verse study of God's letter to you the Bible 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 are second Corinthians we're going to get into chapter three here in a moment chapter 3 Paul kind of gives the credentials or the character of his ministry and mix it up down from about through to verse seven and it's quite interesting as n as always it's the simple truth laid out whereby anyone can understand okay we're to wisdom from our Father chapter 3 verse 1 excuse me and it begins do we begin again to commend ourselves and our need we as some others epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you I mean I mean he had established the church and it would seem that they were a little confused about is this the Church of Paul church of Apollo's church of Cephas whose church is that he said I don't need a letter I founded this church when I came here to Corinth you were basically heathen and in establishing the church I don't need a letter do you know why it's real simple the the best credentials a man or woman can ever have concerning their ministry verse two ye are our epistle written in our hearts you are our commendation the fact that you believe in other words know and read of knowing read of all men and so it is you are a letter that people can look at I to eye and see and all can enjoy it because you're Christian and and we are the ones that brought that to pass you is the way you live and the way you believe is is our letter it's our epistle and you don't need anything else that that's that is why God sins apostles that's why he sent the prophets that's why he sends the layperson to plant seeds it's to convert people and you need nothing more than that that's success for our Father verse 3 for as much as ye are manifestly declared to be the Epistle of Christ ministered by US written not with ink but with the spirit of the Living God not in tables of stone but in fleshy tables of the heart in other words your heart is in the right way it's it has those tablets of Christ teachings right in your mind and it has settled there nobody can take that away from you it's the beauty of our fathers Holy Spirit when he touches you and gives you action to know and understand the simplicity in which God operates you know it doesn't get any plainer than that don't need a bunch of fancy letters here of this brother is almighty here and Almighty there and I recommend him for this that or the other his works prove it it's that simple that's the way that's the best way to for you to spiritually discern someone what does their works that's their epistle bester that's your proof that's the way you test the fruits and here here was a living body the mini membered body of Christ that was an epistle that no one could take away verse four and such trusts have we through Christ to God word in other words we trust in Christ that his word has done this doesn't what what took a bunch of heathen that were living as heathens live and converted them to Christianity and the law of God following his way with the touch and an anointing of the Holy Spirit that the church was formed and it edified people everywhere and grew and grew and grew verse five not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves but our sufficiency our ability is of God and there is not a teacher ever that his or her ability is not of God from God's Word gifts given of God gifts of understanding gifts of being able to communicate gifts of delivery all giving God the credit for what purpose to further the teachings of Christ to the unbelieving world to change it to make it something real special children of God you don't get a book that can or a set of credentials that can say that any better or as well as a group of people that truly love the Lord that no one understand much of prophecy you don't get better credentials than that it's beautiful but who does that you just read it in that verse God does yah they are Heavenly Father he gives unction and gives talent to people to see that it's done is that the people's talent no it's god's talent we always must give God the credit only far the word is powerful it changes people it changes nations verse six whom also hath made able ministers of the New Testament not of the letter not none of the Old Testament only but of the spirit for the letter killeth but the spirit giveth life the letter without understanding it can be very well misunderstood do you know what he's talking about here you're I'm going to read it for you it's Jeremiah chapter 31 it's only a scripture after where the sin of a child can't come on the the sin of a father can't fall on a child I'll even pick it up there and then go into what Paul is talking about Jeremiah chapter 31 I will read verse 29 in those days they shall say no more the fathers have eaten a sour grape and the children's teeth are set on the edge in other words everybody enters for their own sin those that you don't repent of and this is now what Paul was talking about but every one shall die for his own iniquity every man that eateth the sour grape his teeth shall be set on edge here we go behold the days come saith the Lord that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah that's a New Testament I'm gonna make it verse 32 not according to the Covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt which my covenant they break although I was an husband unto them saith the Lord although I hand fed them cared for them they still broke it that's why we have to have the new 33 but this shall be the Covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days saith the Lord I will put my law in their inward parts and write in their hearts and will be their God and they shall be my people and they shall teach no more every man is neighbor and every man his brother saying know the Lord for they shall all know me from the least of them even to the greatest of them saith the Lord for I will forgive their iniquity and I will remember their sins no more that's in the New Testament when you repent it looks on even forward further than that into the future as sins in the Millennium when everyone is in a spiritual body and has their full recall again they will know the Lord in noise scripture and and you won't have to teach them that well what will you teach for the thousand years then discipline and and so it is our father's word is so precious and so perfect if you take the moment to follow the simplicity in which Christ teaches it is not out of the reach of anyone to understand simply relax and let it flow it's common sense returning to chapter 3 verse 7 of the second Corinthians but if the administration of death written and engraved in stone was glorious so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory that's to say the Shekinah glory of his countenance which glory was to be done away in other words it was it was his the glory of his face as it was shown but the presence of that Shekinah glory it was going to fade away but God's Word warned the truth of God's Word will not the New Testament will not fade away the shine is a kind of glory though that they do you know what they did about Moses then verse 8 how shall not the ministration of the Spirit be rather glorious far more glorious if you would and and new but they beholding that face and verse 9 the next verse please and that's be verse 9 for if the ministration of the condemnation be glory much more that the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory what is the Minister Minister of administration of righteousness of Christ for he is the righteous one verse 10 for even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect by reason of the glory that Axela the compared to the new that the face of Moses and that Shekinah glory that grew in that Old Testament has nothing whatsoever to compare with the eternal new Shekinah glory that is to say the comforter the Holy Spirit dwelling in the many members body bringing Christ to the forefront whereby you have that truth at hand and and so it is verse 11 for if that which is done away was glorious much more that which remaineth is glorious what remain is what is permanent the new testament is eternal its ever lasting when you believe you take part in the first resurrection into eternal life never seen spiritual death or anything even coming close to it it's everlasting that's what this new covenant is this new testament verse 12 seeing then that we have such hope we use great plainness of speech we can just speak in frankness we can just say it like it is and and we can use boldness in this speech to bring forth that truth 13 and not as Moses which put a veil over his face that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which which is abolished in other words at that time the children could not see the end naturally naturally it means this and this is only the analogy is that his face was veiled so they could not see the disappearing of the Shekinah glory that was reflected in his face meaning there is no way that they could understand the end of time by that first covenant basically you would have to have a marriage between the New Covenant and it does not fade it does not slip away it needs no veil Christ rent that veil of the Holy of Holies at 3:00 p.m. when he was hanging on that cross and and the spirit left him back to the Father for that moment then he rent that veil from top to bottom in the Holy of Holies so whereby you even a layperson can boldly walk straight into the chamber of the Holy of Holies and talk to your heavenly Father it's not something that fades away it's not something that changes it's something you have with you every day if you will participate every day you can boldly and frankly walk in and ask father your petition you can lay on the altar of love your love for him that's what he wants from you that's the beauty of God's beautiful word so know you know Moses came down and found them at first even though God had parted the Red Sea he fed the manna the quails that Cain would come later that when that manna would come and defeated Pharaoh's army they all witnessed this and yet when Moses was forty days up that mountain in the presence of the Shekinah glory and that glory building in his face of the absolute absolute proof that he was in the face of God the presence of God I should say that and and then yet even that would fade you know how disappointed our Father would would be at that time there are not very many earthly fathers that have enough love or patience to put up with that kind of stuff if they had children that would put all the gold and everything and and even the head priest Aaron form a golden calf and they have orgies going after having witnessed eyesight the miracles of God and when God would write that scripture or have it written that it faded then how disappointing that must have been and it should cause you all the more to want us to strive to please him because of what we've put him through in history how disappointing people must be to the Heavenly Father when he gives us the New Testament the New Covenant to show us how to find peace to show us how to have his blessings and then to have people pull away from him I mean totally away and even in many places have it be ashamed to mention his name and then wonder why God doesn't bless what does God let this happen I tell you if if a flesh man were in charge to make the correction it would be it would be quite different but he's long-suffering he's going to let it go on until not as that Shekinah glory then would fade from the face of Moses but in the face of Christ we have eternal life and there will be an end and as it is written there to look to the end of that which is abolished then we can look to that end which is the end of the earth age this dispensation of time when we enter into that very presence of the Living God enjoy it now don't be robbed don't let someone strip you is away from you with worry and anxiety for he is on the throne and when you love him and let him know it I mean tell it boldly let him know you love him he will touch you and you will find that peace and it's not this not a as verse 11 would declare it's not a temporary thing as the old seemed to be but it's eternal it's permanent and and it's yours for believing loving and knowing him you just it just doesn't get any better than that again how disappointing at times our ancestors have been to him and yes even today how disappointing some of the people of this world have got to be with the events the cruelty the the bitterness the falseness that we see in this world today it certainly doesn't pleasure him and and does it please Satan I'm sure there are things even that disappoint him for he wants to take over and he wants it to be pretty well in order when he comes as the false messiah so people are people and unfortunately we are a disappointment in all but we still have those credentials don't ever let anyone take that away from you an epistle written in flesh of a people that believe of a people that love God and that let that Shekinah you know what the word Shekinah means it means God dwells there and through the Holy Spirit he does dwell in your very heart and he loves you and protects you again it's not temporary it's permanent and it's so valuable that the living testimony of people believing it's the best credentials that a ministry could ever have is following the love of the Living God verse 14 to continue but their minds were blinded I mean after after they saw Moses and come down there their minds were blind blinded for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the Old Testament which Vail is done away in Christ praise God through Christ that Vail can be removed he did remove it you know when he removed it I said it earlier 3:00 p.m. top to bottom he rent that Vail and showed you the kingdom of God and he is that King and all you have to do is walk in it's intuitively when you believe no one can enslave you into the ways of the world when you see that truth and you let him know you love him and walk in to the beauty of God's Word and his love and his ever ever protection it was it was impossible by the old that's why God wrote the new that's why we went to chapter 31 verses 31 through 33 to document the New Covenant and that covenant is so beautiful now why well you sinned and you fall short they did in the wilderness but what is the difference now when you see in and fall short and you recognize the fact you have you slipped you can repent and with love he races it from the book of life and it is pure divine pureness in the book of life right by your name it is he raised why because of the love of Christ the love of Almighty God that he gave us the New Testament and the New Testament forgives sin it does not make second-class citizens out of people when when you hear someone teach Christ and they say well he doesn't quite forgive all that sin they're lying to you there's only one unforgivable sin and that is for God the Elector refused to let the Holy Spirit speak through them when they're delivered up before the Antichrist all other sin basically is forgivable and certainly he loves his children enough and you know you could put this in the light of your own if you have a child and that child misbehaves it and they come with tears and grab you around the neck and beg you to forgive them then you're going to return that love and forgive them well so does our Father that's why the New Testament the New Covenant is so precious that he understands our frailties he understands our weaknesses and he made this access to the Holy of Holies for all people that believe to come in and to boldly speak to him to ask for forgiveness and leadership he did that and he did it for you that's the beauty of the New Testament the veil has done away in Christ verse 15 to continue but even unto this day and I repeat even into this very day when Moses is read the veil is upon their heart if you're not careful you can you can those unbelievers even when they read the old you can read in Matthew chapter 23 verse 2 the scribes and Pharisees sit in the seat of Moses and they dish mole the salad as if legalism is the only way to go even though Christ died on the cross you do not go there you do not follow false teachings that do not liberate and set you free fully from sin on repentance when you mean it don't ever try to con God into do it into forgiveness you got to mean it verse 16 nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord the veil shall be taken away and that's the way it is when you turn to the Lord and the Lord Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father Emmanuel God with us when you will turn to him that veil is taken away where you can see the end you can see the prophecy that for that foretells the end how it's going down and visualized through that the Holy Spirit the Shekinah glory how it consummates the end of this age that's how wonderful the New Testament is God has written I have foretold my I have foretold you all things have you read it have you read it with the veil removed into the light of the Word of God whereby he himself what did it say again nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord the veil shall be taken away erased gone isn't that simple it's real simple how do you turn to the Lord in love knowing his power his strength that he loved you enough that he made it possible for you to participate in in the removing of that veil and into being a living set of credentials to the truth of this word that God blesses those who believe him God blesses the that follow him you are his epistle when you participate in that it's taken away verse 17 now the Lord is that spirit don't ever forget that and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty and that Liberty is truth that set you free from your sins erases them destroys them tears them up forgets them and he says as he as it stated back in Jeremiah chapter 31 I'm going to forget them I don't ever want to hear about him again so don't bring them back up to him again well now the Lord is that spirit well what if what spirit is that the Holy Spirit don't you know who the Holy Spirit is it's the spirit of the Living God and you don't need any further proof than that because he loves you and that spirit is what leads you guide you and directs you counsels you if you'll take time to the most valuable counseling in the world you hold it in your hands when you hold the letter from your heavenly father where he advises you way above what some counselor can do he advises you how to be successful how to prosper how to gain his blessings which guarantees prosperity in in what not necessarily in finances but in building that letter in flesh the mini membered body of Christ bringing his children back to him whereby he can love them and we're by this spirit that belongs to Almighty God called the comforter can comfort each heart and bring that truth and make it a reality and this is why I want you to be very careful the or the Spirit of the Lord there is Liberty don't ever let some quack till you Christ doesn't forgive this or Christ doesn't forgive that or wait we don't want some divorcee teaching a Sunday School class not know wait a minute this word says and the New Testament Jeremiah 31 if she truly repented or he then God erased that divorce it's not there and don't you dare say that God isn't able for it's gone it is absolutely in Christ you are set at liberty don't let some quack rob you because God loves you and when you're sincere with him he will be sincere with you verse eighteen to complete the chapter but we all with open face beholding as a glass the glory of the Lord are changed into the same image from glory to glory that's from sure kinda glory to Shekinah glory even as by the Spirit of the Lord and what is the Spirit of the Lord it is that Holy Spirit and the Shekinah glory always brings and comes forth with that spirit because God does dwell there dwells in your heart and in your mind hey we're not talking about a temporary thing that's verse 11 declared it's permanent it's everlasting it is forever so when Paul explains his ministry and presents his credentials he says you're it you are my credentials the fact that you believed these manuscripts you believe these words and when God pours his love and blessings out on you it confirms that fact that you're a child of the Living God and he sends that comforter that is his spirit the Holy Spirit is the comforter that Christ promised would come and has into the hearts of all who would believe all who make up the credentials of the Living God a living testimony that God's Word is in us around us and is the credentials that makes his word true and a living body the many membered Body of Christ always thank God that you're a part

there we are back again let's have the 800 number please 1 864 3 4 6 4 5 that number is good from Porto Rico throughout the u.s. Alaska Hawaii and all over Canada if the spirit moves you got a question Hey share it go ahead and do that once you do that never ask a question about a particular reverend denomination or organization we are not going to judge people our father is the judge he does not need your help and in doing that now you do have the right for a spiritual discernment to know truth when you hear it in fiction when you hear it false teaching and certainly it is a gift from God when you make up that set of credentials of his many membered body let him know you love him for that once you do that those of you that listen by shortwave 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 no prayer requests you do not need that number you don't need an address why well god knows what you're thinking right now you don't have to tell him you don't have to say it out loud right because he loves you he created you different than anyone else your DNA is different you're unique because he wanted someone just like you he's got a purpose you have a destiny find that destiny sometimes it's simply being a part of that letter in flesh documenting his truths father around the globe we come West that you need guiding direct father touch in Yeshua's precious name Thank You Father amen okay in question time okay this would be David from Texas my first question you have said that these seminary the in the seminary they tell you not to teach above a fourth-grade level do the seminaries teach to a higher level to do the individual students have to find other sources of learning and complete teaching of his word it is it is pretty well unknown fact that the reason they say do not and this is in the seminary telling a minister once you establish a church don't teach above a fourth-grade education don't handle anything that is controversial it will drive members away and you need the money in the till okay but you're robbing people when you do that because a true teacher of God's Word can teach on one level on one level only but in three different phases just as Paul so stated in four in Acts chapter 9 verse 15 1 2 Israel to the Gentile and to the kings and queens you have to teach on all three of those levels you cannot rob people but a true teacher doesn't have to worry about going above a 4th 5th 6th high school college why because a true teacher his job is to simplify the Word of God in the simplicity that Christ taught it where a child can understand it that's why you're supposed to teach it leaving nothing out my second question I know that those who stood with God in the first earth age are on earth today to stand against God's elect with God in the coming battle with Satan judging from the collapse of moral and Christian values we see around us every day is it reasonable to believe that those who are with Satan in the first Earth Age or once again here to stand with Satan in the coming battle I truly believe that the one third is revelation 12 declares that followed Satan in the first Earth Age were born in this generation of the fig tree a person that has a few years undone can sense this very well you know when when I was a teenager I was I was in trouble if I did not respect the elders if if I did not open the door for a lady and allow her to go in I would be punished and I would feel bad that was that was the generation in which I was born I have witnessed things in modern day stores and buildings that young people do to senior citizens that in they we wouldn't have treated a dog that way so where did where did these Souls come from that they are so unwilling to learn the Word of God and are so impatient and seemingly don't care about anything but themselves if we judge by today's lecture a living epistle they're an epistle all right and when you've spread that epistle out and you take in the Euphrates and beyond where they're blowing up children beheading each other then certainly that's not a pissah love God I think you know who that is an epistle love and so you're correct Kurt from Illinois since we are no longer in our spiritual bodies during the Millennium whoa whoa we are in our spiritual bodies I'm going to say that that this was taken in era as Christ said we are in our spirit this is there is no giving or taking in marriage why then is a sister with no husband mentioned as being able to help her but not a sister with a husband this is confusing since we are not in the flesh well yes there you see the judge quiet be quiet what happens when to marry they become one flesh it is speaking of your family in the flesh whereby you have responsibility and can take responsibility because once a sister is married by God's law her husband and her are responsible for each other that's that be the reason I do not believe God is strict enough that if you helped your sister he would penalize you though I certainly do not God loves his children Emily from Georgia Genesis 9 20 through 23 I am confused Noah was drunk and he lay naked in his tent his son ham saw his father's nakedness and he told his this his brother they took a robe and walk backwards to cover their naked father how do you interpret this that Ham slept with his mother thank you for all your teaching Emily by the law what does the term observing your father's nakedness or seeing your father's nakedness mean turn to Leviticus chapter 11 chapter 20 verse 11 I this has been coming up the last day or two I'm gonna do it for my I'm gonna do it for you because somebody's not doing what I'm telling you to go to Leviticus chapter 20 and verse 11 I want you to hear it for yourself Leviticus 20 11 reads and the man that lieth with his father's wife had uncovered his father's nakedness it's no sin to look at your naked Pappy okay it may not be a pretty sight but it's not a sin but the law concerning uncovering his nakedness is to sleep with his wife okay both of them shall surely be put to death for their blood shall be upon them and and and so it is and again let's go to Leviticus 18 eight let's get to this drive this nail right in Leviticus 18 8 the nakedness of thy father's wife shall bel not uncover I'm sorry the nakedness of thy father's wife thou shalt not uncover it is thy father's nakedness okay so if that doesn't do it for you Emily was you have a problem okay you see the proof is that Canaan the offspring of that Union Noah cursed running away because it wasn't Noah's son it was hams son by Noah's wife okay incest and a lot of people say that that was the four because he was Keenan was sent to Africa that that established the African nation it did not incest will not change the color of the skin Gary from Texas the the African race was created on the sixth day and God looked and it was good along with all the other races Gary from Texas we're in the Bible does God tell about the 20 the 20 by 20 that he created to know the xoi or the zoom that somebody took this down soy or Zune I'll say it how did he that he'd he create to protect the mercy seat do they have free will no they do not why do they what do they look like will they live forever no they will not there I forget which exactly which chapter fifth or so that is their last mention well because the mercy seat and he needs no more protection because the cherubim named Tyrus which is rock in the Hebrew tongue meaning Satan not our rock when he fell having free will God brought forth the joy and Zune which were cherubims that were to protect and they did not have free will therefore they were called creatures living creatures because they they were not a living soul as as the average person is and their duties would would be complete when the throne was safe when Satan and all evil people are done away with but it will not need protection in heaven of course Tracy triva tree ver 13 years old I listen to your program every day and I would like to know where there were there any other Bibles before the King James Version I would like to know if there is the original Bible and do you know where I can buy this tea were it's it's the menu scripts okay naturally there were there were many Bibles before the King James and we could have a list load but if you want to go to the beginning you have to go to the manuscripts this is why I strongly favor an English reader such as yourself that you have a strong concordance because it takes the King James and converts it back to the original giving you the ability as an English speaker if you can use a Webster's dictionary you can use that particular thing to start through a deeper study into the original manuscripts or a copy as best we can find John from Michigan if the if the overthrow came some 65 million years ago what did the father do with all his children who did not follow Satan well they were with him of course that's when he spoke to him they were there always with him I do not believe the Cata Bowl was 65 million years ago we know from the tundra the mammoths found there in both Alaska and in Russia that they carbon date to thirteen to fourteen thousand years ago when an instant freeze came over all the world and destroyed everything just as jeremiah chapter 4 so declares but the earth is that old it's just that the cattle bow didn't happen until about i make it about fourteen thousand years ago John from Virginia you're teaching have been a true blessing to me oh well thank you I appreciate that I have heard you say many times that the only unpardonable sin is to deny the Holy Spirit to speak through you when delivered up before the Antichrist however Luke chapter 12 verse 10 clearly states he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit it will not be forgiven simplify well sniff for five back to you John but why don't you keep reading okay don't don't stop at the tenth verse what does verse 11 and 12 say what is the blasphemy it's when you're delivered up before the synagogue of Satan if you refuse the Holy Spirit to speak through you as all of the chapter of Mark 13 declares that your destiny as a Christian is when you're delivered up before that synagogue you're not to even premeditate what you'll say because the Holy Spirit will speak through you all he's going to use to do this is the election that is to say God's elect and I do not believe for a moment that any one of God's elect is going to refuse the Holy Spirit if they sin it will be talking too much because they feel they've got a lot too dead like to say to Satan - they find him to be an abomination not a temptation Julian from LA from Las Vegas I have listened many of years I think you've questioned my wife died in 1980 I was left with a 6 year old and a 10 year old 4 days after her death I saw her in the hallway she said nothing she just looked at me for 10 seconds and then she went through the door without opening the door without a doubt I saw her but I never did again question why she should be with the father well she was but a mother is concerned about her children ok I know it's difficult for some people to understand these things but when when one really loves the father and especially a mother who has that tide that she gave birth to those children and she wanted to know that you were taking good care of them and evidently she was pleased that you were it was a blessing so thank the father for it and she was pleased as why you never saw her again and I being a pastor and being around people that are in the transition of dying and soon after death things happen sometimes God's Word is real and God's Word is true and God has loves his children that love him certainly Vanessa from Ohio please explain Luke chapter 16 verse 23 Luke chapter 16 is where Christ said when you die both the good bad and the ugly all go to paradise but in the middle of paradise there's a gulf the bad go on one side and the good on the other what will why are they there awaiting judgment God's the judge and they have to go to him to be judged and the verse you're speaking of of course says that that old rich boy who could buy anything he wanted on earth man I mean if he wanted it he buy it and poor old Lazarus he's a beggar over there and the dog was licking his wounds and his sores had nothing all the rich man had to do was order it there it was all of a sudden he wakes up and the reason hell is mentioned there it's a statement of degradation he felt like he was in hell because he could see that beggar Lazarus over with Abraham Abraham wasn't dead either he was there having a ball I mean he was happy he had everything and he had nothing he couldn't buy anything he couldn't order anything he was doomed to hell and he was weeping and he was very sad the word hell usually in the in the New Testament is Gehenna which is the garbage pit outside of Jerusalem where you have an analogy of what hell would be like hell does not come into existence until the 20th chapter of Revelation which it is the lake of fire which all go into that do not pass muster at the great white throne judgment Jim from Florida can you give me the meaning of Zechariah chapter 11 verse 17 very interesting verse it's where God warns in Zachariah one of them you're getting awful close to the end of the Old Testament he says I'm gonna raise up an idle Shepherd that means the Shepherd that is nothing but an idol when people worship Him talking about the Antichrist and he said when he gets through I'm gonna wilt his arm that means I'm gonna take away his power and I'm gonna do him in he's going into the abyss the lake of fire talking about the Antichrist on earth that's another place that God warns I'm gonna bring him the idol shepherd this is a shepherd that somebody worships instead of worshiping God that's in Christ Jackie from North Carolina if you knew who the Antichrist is whenever that time is would you announce it on your program I feel like you would as I know I would if I knew thanks well I think we pretty well know who the Antichrist is it's Satan he is your documentation you will find in second Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 4 where Paul's tells you say hey I want to talk to you about our getting back to Christ it's not going to happen until after the son of perdition stands in Jerusalem claiming to be God and the son of perdition there's only one you don't you don't have a multiple choice the only son that is already sentenced to perish that's what perdition means in the Greek tongue is Satan and that happened back in Ezekiel 28 verse 18 and 19 he's going to perish but he's gonna stand there he's going to get his hour and we're gonna see how many people have studied the Word of God because God has certainly warned he's going to be there first at the sixth drop true Christ doesn't run into return until the seventh bill from Minnesota I always heard you say that the Bible is so simple that a child can understand but I don't understand when I read it and I really want to understand please help me in please don't think that I am being rude I really like your teaching well thank you I appreciate that that this is why you study under a teacher if you have that difficulty because that teacher is going to simplify if he if he or she is a good teacher they're going to simplify it where it does flow like honey and that's the reason the best thing you can do in studying God's Word is to take all the traditions of men and shove them to the side and listen to the word I mean it's true and it is simple and you have to focus on the subject and the object you see there are so many preconceived notions of people saying you don't have to understand revelation you're gonna fly away well that's a lie and automatically you get that in your head and then when God tries to tell you I have things for you to do that's why I created you well I I don't have to worry about that I'm gonna be gone no you're not that's why God talks to you so that's why you need to put all those traditions of men to the side and listen to God his word he sent that letter to you and and it is true that it is simple when you really strip it down to the bare root message that God presented it's always common sense and common sense is simple now many people have difficulty in remembering verses and that's okay that doesn't mean you're not understanding that means that you have to work at it and that's why you use a Strong's Concordance so you can find any scripture you want to it anytime as long as you can remember one word but one main word you can find that scripture it's precious so it's something you just work at George from Rhode Island taking thinking always your ministries and especially you and your family well thank you very much one can evil spirits see what we do like writing a letter well if you have one around of course K and certainly they you use the power of Christ gives you and ordered them out of your house and wanting the door even if necessary you have power over any evil spirit I'm out of time hey I love you all because you enjoy studying God's Word most of all God loves
