Rabbi Live: Is This The End?

you know it seems that when i turn on youtube at home i notice that oftentimes when everybody anybody puts out a youtube and it is titled something prophetic a prophetic word about the election a prophetic word about some political figure a prophetic word about what's going to happen in 2021 whenever i see these so-called prophets putting out their youtube videos under the title prophetic oftentimes these video views go up to like a half million people in six hours what is unfortunate beloved is that so many of these prophetic voices have objectively proven themselves to be untrustworthy because so many of our so-called prophets have prophesied things that have not come to pass and what is so unfortunate is that oftentimes they're not being accountable by confessing the fact that they were in heir by pulling themselves back a little bit so that they can be more accurate in what they're releasing to the church that is very unfortunate and what is just as unfortunate beloved one is that the same ones that follow these prophets that are making all these prophecies that aren't coming to pass even when it's proven that the prophecy isn't true and reliable the same people keep following them and i really question why would someone do that i mean just for example they prophesied when the coronavirus was going to be over they said it was going to be over last passover almost a year ago who was going to be elected president they prophesied i mean on and on i could go and yet people keep on listening to them and i ask myself why would people keep listening to them and the only explanation i have is that individuals that don't have a strong personal relationship with god through jesus and don't have confidence that they're personally being led by god's spirit in their lives they have resorted to relying on these so-called prophets and prophetic voices and i want to speak to you right now if you're one of those people i know many are probably mad at me right now please forgive me i don't i'm not trying to hurt you or insult anybody but we need to trust the holy spirit to individually lead us and not be so addicted to these prophetic words and prophetic voices i remember years ago almost 20 years ago when i was first introduced to the prophetic movement i was ministering at a church in southern ohio and i had no formal training in the prophetic but i knew that god spoke to me and i knew how he spoke to me and i never really even put it in terms i never called it prophetic i just had kind of been trained by the holy spirit so i was ministering in this prophetic church in ohio and when i say prophetic church it was a church that was formally connected to the mainline prophetic movement in the country probably worldwide there's a prophetic movement i'm not going to name it where the where where that became known as you know the apostolic modern prophetic movement this church was one of the congregations that was connected to this organization and it was a good church and i had a strong relationship with the pastor i ministered there for three days and after the third day of ministry um he held a little reception for me just thanking me for being there and and and many people uh had an opportunity he said does anybody have a word meaning for me does any yes his congregation does anybody have a word for rabbi schneider and so four or five people stood up and they and they gave me a prophetic word and most of them to be honest with you were a little bit out there but one of the prophetic words that was given i really realized was from the lord because i could tell by the way this woman was speaking and through the lens and the way that she said she heard the the leading of the spirit i said that's the way you speak to me lord so i knew that that was an authentic prophetic voice and uh and i knew that that was the way the lord spoke to me and i started realizing okay that's what prophetic means so i believe in the prophetic but what happened was i went back to this church several other several other times and every time i went back the congregation was getting smaller and smaller and on one of these occasions when i was at this prophetic church ministering i ministered on a sunday morning and then later sunday evening and i went back to the pastor's house after the sunday morning service and he gave me a bedroom to take a nap in so i went to sleep in this bedroom in the pastor's home in the parsonage there and i fell into a deep dream i fell fell asleep and went into a drip deep dream state and in the dream state i saw this church and i saw that it was falling apart and the spirit spoke to me in my dream and he said to me the reason this church is falling apart is because they built themselves on the prophetic rather than on beloved ones the written word of god you see prophets are fallible and prophetic voices are fallible but god's word is in fallible and so tonight as i begin to teach on the end times is this the end i'm not going to be delivering a word that's based on some prophetic voice or about what's going to happen to a certain political leader or about what's going to happen in america this year i'm going to be talking to you about weightier things i'm going to be talking to you about the things that jesus talked about if you think about the ministry of jesus he didn't say much at all about any particular political leader he didn't tell his disciples what was going to happen next year in israel he talked rather about another realm and another world and when they asked jesus when will your coming be he didn't tell them what year it was going to be he said that's fixed by the father's own authority and only he knows it i'm going to talk to you beloved today about things that you can plant your soul on things that you can stick your teeth in and this message i want you to stick with it tonight because it will equip you to move forward in power during these hard rugged spiritual times of darkness that we're facing right now so be patient this message is going to be a little longer than most youtube messages but i will tell you this if you will sit still and be patient and digest it the lord i believe is going to use it in your soul to equip you to go through the difficult days that we're in and that will continue to go through so father we ask you once again to come in power and sanctify our soul we're going to begin tonight by going to the book of matthew chapter number 24 verse 3 through 14 where we find yeshua's disciples asking him the same question that we've asked tonight is this the end so let's read together matthew 24 beginning in verse number three as he was sitting on the mount of olives the disciples came to him privately saying tell us when will these things happen and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age and jesus answered and said to him see to it that no one misleads you for many will come in my name saying i am the christ and they will mislead many people and you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars see that you are not alarmed for those things must take place but that is not yet the end for nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places and luke and his account of the same event records it in luke 21 verse 11 that in addition to the nation rising against nation and the earthquakes luke also adds there in his account that there be great pestilences and pestilences are infectious or contagious diseases like we've just experienced with this coronavirus we continue on in verse 8. but all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs jesus and all these things that we're seeing right now so there's the first cue is this the end jesus just got done saying there'll be many false christs in verse number five that will mislead many people he talked about turbulence nation rising against nation you know we're hearing about the the the um the problems that we're having in the u.s with china with russia with other nations of the earth jesus said this is going to happen rumors of wars he said nation will rise against nation and verse number six and rumors of wars but he said this is not yet the end this is just the birth pangs in verse number eight and then he said that we would be hated beloved ones because of our faith are you feeling more hatred against you because of your faith in 2021 right now than you've ever experienced before i know that if you're living a open life for jesus you're feeling it we're feeling as believers marginalized we feel the world looking down on us we feel the mocking that's going on jesus said that his coming is going to be precipitated by his people being hated by all nations then they will hand you over in verse number nine to tribulation and kill you and you will be hated by all nations because of my name and even now when we think about traditional biblical values so many of god's people have shrunken back from declaring truth from standing with truth from standing with biblical morality when we live in this age of gender identity confusion where your sexual identity is no longer determined by the way that you were born by what's on your birth certificate but rather it's determined by the way that you feel and now the governments are saying that we have to respect the way somebody feels and we have to identify them not by who they actually are scientifically but by who they say that they are well i wonder if the if the government's going to go this direction and they already have in canada it's going to be close it's going to be happening sooner potentially in the u.s i wonder what the government's going to say when a 45 year old tells them that they feel like they're 65 and they want their social security now the birth certificate says they're 45 but they say i don't feel like i'm 45. i feel like i'm 65 and you need to respect that and i want my social security benefits well it's just craziness truth is no longer determined by what scripture says it's no longer determined objectively it's determined subjectively by a spirit that hates god jesus said that many will fall away during this time it's already happening many will fall away in verse number 10 and will betray one another look at verse 11 and many false prophets will rise up and mislead many people beloved ones the gospel that is being preached today to the masses in large measure is no longer the apostolic gospel that was once and all given to us by the original apostles the original gospel was a life of dying to ourself so that we could be sanctified and live in the light of the holy spirit it wasn't about satisfying our desires it was rather about dying to flesh the desires crucifying the flesh sacrificing our own will for the sake of doing father's will so we could rise up as a new creation that was the original gospel jesus said he that wishes to save his life shall lose it but he that loses his life for my sake shall gain it paul said he was crucified to the world and the world was crucified to him paul said if we're living by the flesh we're going to reap destruction but if we put to death the deeds of the flesh we're going to reap everlasting life but the gospel that's being preached today is oftentimes not a gospel that's asking us to deny the world but it's rather a gospel that makes god a magic genie that if we just tag jesus onto our prayer that somehow jesus is going to give us our best life now and we're going to have everything the world has to offer so that people are no longer attaching themselves to jesus to walk in a sanctified holy life and to inherit the kingdom of god but instead they're trying to use god in jesus name as a magic genie so they can have all the goods of the world it's a totally different gospel that's being preached and so jesus said here leading up to his return in verse number 11 many false prophets and false christs let me read it again and many false prophets will rise up and mislead many people [Music] you look at the most famous preachers in the world right now what gospel are they preaching is it a gospel of repentance is it a gospel of sanctification from sin is it a gospel where people are being called to forsake their sins to repent of their sins to lead holy lies is that the gospel that the most popular preachers in the world are preaching or is it a message that basically says god's going to make you healthy wealthy and wise and you can have your best life now and all you have to do is put jesus at the end of your prayer it's a different gospel continuing on it says and because lawlessness is increased most people's love will become cold what this means is that because lawlessness is increasing in the world people will no longer be able to trust one another now more than ever i think people are isolated listen again yeshua says because lawlessness is increased most people's love will become cold i think about even going back 10 15 years ago flying on an airplane maybe some of you can relate to this remember 15 years ago when we flew on an airplane somewhere you'd sit next to a stranger and you would smile at each other you'd make a little conversation with each other you were neighborly to each other you were kind to each other as we say we would keep kebabits a little bit in jewish we talk a little bit that's what used to happen in airplanes 15 years ago there was a closeness but today what happens in an airplane you don't look at the person either direction you don't try to talk to the person in either direction everyone just stares straight ahead at their electronic device puts on their earphones or listens to their their music people's love has grown cold and if you do try to talk to somebody in an airplane you might get the cold shoulder like what are you doing trying to talk to me on the airplane don't you know we don't talk to each other we're living in an age of isolation in an age of coldness in an age of distrust just like yeshua said lawlessness will increase and people's love will grow cold then he said but the one that endures to the end will be saved and when this gospel is preached to the ends of the earth he said then the end will come we are living in these days we're living in an age as everybody knows of isolation we're living in an age of a great many people falling away from the faith just like yeshua said i wonder if i what i wonder what percentage of the people that stopped attending fellowships church services because of the coronavirus i wonder what percentage of them will come back my guess is that a great many of a number of people that stopped attending services because of the coronavirus will not come back it's just part of the enemy's plan that is bringing into fulfillment the word of yeshua when he predicted a great falling away from the faith before his return but here's the word that i want to give you as we begin to move into showing how the hebrew bible the old testament and the new testament fit together like a hand in a glove in revealing to us the events leading up to jesus's return i'm going to get to that in just a second but before i show you the synchronicity between the hebrew bible and the new testament concerning end time events in chronological order before i get to that i want to simply make two more points number one we are living in difficult days there's not a lot going on outside us right now that brings joy we have to find joy in a deeper place we have to drink from a deeper well we need to live learn how to live by the holy spirit that's within us we need to learn to walk by faith and not by feelings that is true we're in a battle right now i feel like i personally i'm like in a in a military tank like just going through the desert not a lot of shrubs not a lot of beautiful trees in the desert but i'm moving up by faith and in power because of the word of god within me so it's not a time of great joy if we're looking for joy in worldly things but you know what jesus said he said when you see all the things that i just described happening the division in society people's love growing cold you being hated because of your faith in me you know what jesus said we should do not become discouraged he said rather what we should do luke 21 28 he said is look up rejoice because your redemption draws near and when you see these things begin to take place yeshua said straighten up and lift up your heads because your redemption is drawing near and so we see these things happening you know even with the presidential election i know i'm going to make some people mad right now but listen if we believe that god is sovereign that we have to accept the escalation of whoever becomes the president we have to somehow accept that as part of god's sovereign plan it doesn't i'm not taking any particular side of any candidate i'm not involved in politics some people say well you pray for trump you're i would pray for any president that asked me to pray for him republican or democrat i would i'm not a supporter of a president like jesus that stood before pilate and pilate asked him aren't you are you a king jesus said my kingdom is not of this world beloved my kingdom is not of this world what i'm simply saying is this many people believe god was sovereign when our previous president was in office and i want to challenge you if you believe god was sovereign when our previous president was in office you still have to believe that god is sovereign today with the new president in office i'm not taking a pro-biden stand i'm not taking a pro-trump stand i'm talking about a higher realm if god is sovereign then he's sovereign yesterday today and forever you see god's purposes are not our purposes and his ways are not our ways for even as the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways higher than your ways saith the lord and my thoughts higher than your thoughts so we can't be making all these excuses and you know creating all these controversies listen to what the lord said in the book of isaiah chapter 8 verse 12 through 14. the lord said here you are not to say it is a conspiracy regarding everything that this people calls a conspiracy and you are not to fear what they fear or be in dread of it it is the lord of armies whom you are to regard as holy and he shall be your fear and he shall be your dread then he will become a sanctuary did you hear what god is saying don't get entrapped with all the things that are going on in this world in this present age but look up look what i'm doing i'm getting ready to return and fear me alone and don't get involved in all these controversies and all these so-called conspiracies just worship me trust in my sovereignty trust that history is my story history is his story we have to believe that god is guiding his creation to his desired end and be at peace with that regardless of what is going on around us beloved ones when yeshua walked upon the earth two thousand years ago he wasn't involved in the politics and i'm not saying as believers we shouldn't have an influence in the world and be involved in every sphere whether it's politics entertainment all of it but i'm saying when we get so enmeshed in these things and we get disconnected from the kingdom of god because we have a misplaced identity and a misplaced identification because we've become more connected with what's going on in the world rather than we do with the greater purposes of god we end up getting severed from our connection with our creator and so the lord said don't get sucked in to what the world calls a conspiracy and what the world fears trust in me and then i'll become a sanctuary for you well beloved i know that i've shook some of you up by saying some of these things because so many of us were so involved in the political process i pray by the love of god that you'll hear the heart of rabbi schneider i'm just trying to bring you peace if we're looking for peace from the world we're never going to have peace jesus said my peace i give to you not of this world my peace is not of this world i'm just trying to lift you up out of all that's in this world to become connected to his greater purpose so that you can walk in harmony in your life regardless of what is going on in your circumstances hashem blessed the name of the lord well what i'd like to do now is i'd like to take you on a brief journey in the word of god showing you the major eschatological events and by that i mean end time events showing you first of all what the hebrew bible the tanakh or old testament says about the event and then showing you beloved one the new testament counterpart so as we look at the scriptural journey of how to understand end times the last days asking ourselves the question is this the end the place we have to start is the tribulation that's what yeshua's disciples asked him what will be the signs of your return and jesus began to talk about a tribulation what does the hebrew bible have to say about this we find it in the book of jeremiah chapter number 30 verse number seven hear the word of god alas that day is great excuse me beloved ones excuse me for one second here i think i missed one of my notes i'm sorry here we go jeremiah chapter 30 verse 7 alas for that day is great there is none like it now hear this and it is the time of jacob's distress but he will be saved from it so the hebrew phrase for tribulation is jacob's trouble here in the new american standard version it's called jacob's distress it's a time the lord predicted in the hebrew prophet that would come upon the earth that be a time of great upheaval but that god's people would be saved in the midst of it so the tribulation is identified in the hebrew bible in jeremiah chapter 30 verse 7 it's known as the time of jacob's trouble or jacob's distress yeshua referred to it in matthew 24 and by the way before i read matthew 24 in jesus's answer to the disciples question what is the sign of your coming and of the end of the age jesus quoted daniel and yeshua said it's as the prophet daniel spoke and then yeshua quoted daniel's words about the abomination of desolation my point is is that when asked about the end of the age yeshua went back to the hebrew prophet daniel to show that the hebrew prophets were writing about the end of the age they were writing about the tribulation they were writing about his second coming so jesus it wasn't like he concocted this thing out of mid-air it wasn't like all of a sudden his teaching came out of a vacuum 2000 years ago yeshua linked what he taught back to the hebrew prophets back to the tanakh so jesus said this matthew 24 verse 21 through 22 for then speaking of the tribulation there will be a great tribulation such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now nor ever will unless those days have been cut short no life would have been saved but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short so think about this jesus spoke about all these things that are going to be happening in the earth wars rumors of wars being hated earthquakes disease pestilence then he says the days are going to be cut short for the sake of god's elect what does this mean it means that we you and i as god's people are going to be on the earth during these days now don't misunderstand me i'm going to share with you when i believe the rapture is going to take place towards the end of the broadcast tonight but what i don't believe is that we're going to immediately be taken out of the world as soon as bad things start happen happening because jesus taught the exact opposite he said that all these things are going to be happening on the earth terrible things but they'll be cut short for the sake of god's elect because he said if they weren't cut short no one would be able to endure them this teaches us beloved that the church will be here through some difficult times so we need to get ready to walk through some difficult times even as israel was in egypt when the plagues were falling during the reign of pharaoh but they were protected to some measure so too the church will be in the world when the plagues are falling at the end of the age but there'll be a covering over us to some measure but we'll still feel the effects of what's going on in the world around us and remember i have a specific prophetic word for you that i'm going to be releasing towards the end of the webcast tonight that i believe i've heard directly from god to share with you and i what is going on specifically right now and how to walk through it but what i want you to hear is that we will be walking through it you know the pre-tribulation pre-tribulation preachers taught that god was going to take his people out of the world as soon as bad things started happening i don't believe that's right and i believe that we need to interpret the new testament through the lens of the hebrew bible and in the new testament 29 times jesus is referred to as the lamb what does the lamb mean it goes back to passover so in order to understand the book of revelation correctly we have to go back to the lens of passover and we see during the passover experience israel was in egypt when the first ten plagues fell let's continue on the next thing that happens we have the tribulation that's taking place on earth the next main eschatological event is listen the rise of the anti-messiah or the antichrist we've all heard of the antichrist we know that the mark of the beast is 666. when will the antichrist arise the antichrist is going to arise when the world has so lost its way when they have so lost their moral compass that they can't discern right from wrong anymore they can't discern up from down they're so lost that it's in this world of darkness of grayness that an antichrist figure can emerge and be believed you see during a time when people have spiritual sensitivity during a time when people have moral clarity an antichrist could not arise and gain popular consent of the people it's only during a time of spiritual grayness where people can no longer determine the light from the darkness that the anti-messiah could arise and remember the anti-messiah is going to appear as an angel of light he's going to deceive people he's going to seem like he's the one that's got the biggest heart of everybody the one that's bringing everybody together but it's during this time where people have forsaken god's law and forsaken god's ways and traded it in for their own human reasoning pushing aside god's law and instead choosing in their own mind what's right it's in this climate that the antichrist will arise and gain the consent of people in the book of daniel chapter number 8 23-25 we read these words and remember jesus referred to daniel in matthew 24 when they asked him about the end of the age and the sign of his return daniel said this in the latter period or the last days is this the end in the latter period daniel said when the transgressors [Applause] have run their course a king will arise insolent and skilled in intrigue now get this when the transgressors have run their course a king will arise insolent and skilled in intrigue this is the antichrist listen continue on here his power will be mighty but not by his own power and he will destroy to an extraordinary degree and prosper and perform his will he will destroy mighty men and the holy people and through his shrewdness he will cause deceit to succeed by his influence and he will magnify himself in his heart and he will destroy many people while they are at ease he will even oppose the prince of princes but he will be broken without human agency now let's put this back in perspective what does daniel say this king this guy that is he's he's he's he's anointed by the darkness he's shrewd he deceives people to an extraordinary degree he has a spirit of intrigue about him he doesn't appear as someone that's evil he appears as someone with extraordinary powers when will he arise daniel said in verse 23 when the transgressors have run their course what does daniel mean transgression sin lawlessness has run its course in the earth so that men's conscience is so seared that they can no longer discern good from evil it's when transgression has run its course that the anti-messiah will arise when people think up is down and down is up they're so confused they don't know where they're going anymore they're so lost they push god so far out of the picture that they're they're so bankrupt in darkness that now this false messiah is going to emerge so daniel says the transgression transgressors have to run their course and the scripture says let no one in any way deceive you messiah will not return until the antichrist is first revealed so we have to understand that the acceleration of transgression of sin of lawlessness of the spirit of darkness and deception that is running through the earth right now this is all leading up to yeshua's return and beloved it has to happen for god's end time plan to be completed through his trueness in verse 25 he will cause deceit to succeed by his influence what does the new testament say about this revelation 22 verse 11 and 12 let the one who does wrong still do wrong look at that scripture with me isn't that a curious scripture the spirit of the lord is speaking through john on the island of patmos and he writes this let the one who does wrong still do wrong and the one who is filthy still be filthy now doesn't that make you kind of scratch your head why would god say let the one that does wrong still do wrong and let the one who was filthy still be filthy why would the lord say that i mean you think he would say repent you'd think he'd say be saved and he does say that oftentimes so you're thinking why would god say that the reason beloved that the lord is saying that is because this has to happen transgression has to run its course for the coming of messiah to break into the earth so this is part of god's plan in other words those that are so identified with darkness so those that have so rejected god those that have made a choice in their heart to reject the witness of the holy spirit there's no place left for them to repent anymore they've severed god from their heart they've so shut the holy spirit out of their lives they've said no so many times to the holy spirit that the holy spirit has withdrawn from them so that they can no longer be saved the bible tells us in paul's writing that when someone rejects the witness of the holy spirit long enough what eventually happens is god sends upon that one that has rejected him a deluding influence that they might be judged so the lord is speaking here to those who have been given opportunity to repent but they've rejected the spirit of light and they said no and now god said let them still do wrong let them still be filthy let transgression according to the book of daniel run its course to prepare the arising of the antichrist so jesus can break in destroy sin from the earth exterminate those that identify with the antichrist and set up the new heavens and the new earth let's go back to this verse again because there's more to it i only read the first half let's go look at it again let the one who does wrong still do wrong and the one who is filthy still be filthy and let the one who is righteous still practice righteousness and the one who is holy still keep himself holy behold i'm coming quickly and my reward is with me saith the lord to reward every man according to what he has done so basically what we have right now is a separation of the wheat and the tares going on the lord is saying let those that have chosen darkness let them continue let them continue let them run their course because i'm going to break in and exterminate sinners from the earth but to you that are mine let the one who is righteous still practice righteousness we don't get our cues beloved you and i that are children of god we don't get our cues from the world just because the world has gone haywire it doesn't mean that we let the world make us crazy it doesn't mean that we let the world shatter our moral compass no let him that's filthy still be filthy but let the one that is righteous still be righteous right now and let the one that is holy still be holy there's a great separation taking place there's a great parting that's happening and you and i beloved are the remnant we are the elect of god and more and more we're going to become the minority and more and more we're going to experience the hatred of the world as they try to censor us as they try to keep us from saying that god created marriage to be between a male and a female the more they try to censor us the more they try to censor us because we say that jesus is the only way the more it happens the more assured we should become that we're on the right path because jesus told us this would happen let him that is righteous still be righteous let him that is holy still be holy straight and narrow is the way that leads to life and few there be that find it you'll be hated jesus said by all nations on account of my name we cannot allow ourselves to be brought down by the world by those outside us by friends by relatives by work associates by the culture of the media we cannot be influenced by the world beloved let him that is righteous still be righteous let him that is holy still be holy i was being interviewed by radio a few days ago and as i was being interviewed on the radio in a room in my home i brought this verse up and i was speaking on the phone to the person that was interviewing me and i quoted this verse at the same exact time that i quoted this verse that i just shared with you revelation 22 verse 11 and 12 let him that's holy still be holy let him that's filthy still be filthy at the same exact time that i was quoting that verse over my phone to this radio a host my wife was cleaning out a drawer in the kitchen she could hear me in the other room and she was going through a whole stack of old papers just cleaning it out at the same time that i said that she pulled out a paper in the midst of the stack of just you know piled up stuff who knows how long it had been there and the verse that i was speaking to that radios was on the piece of paper that my wife pulled out same exact time i'm reading it she's pulling out some piece of paper from a stack of old things i don't know how old reading the verse is i'm saying it and then today as i was preparing in my study just a few hours ago reading this verse as i was going through my notes there comes my wife again walking down the hallway i heard the footsteps coming down the hallway i heard her heels on and there she walks into my room when i'm looking at this verse once again this is the word for you and i today the word is beloved that the world is going to go astray let him that's filthy still be filthy let him that does wrong still do wrong but the lord said to you my beloved child you my righteous one still be righteous for you my holy child still be holy don't let the world change you you change the world and even if you change no one you keep following me because jesus said he that endures to the end shall be saved behold i come quickly and my reward is with me to render to every man according to what he has done so we saw the tribulation we saw the climate that will be on the earth when the antichrist would arise and then the antichrist arises and it all climaxes in a great world war that the bible calls armageddon or in hebrew armageddon we read about it in the tanakh and the hebrew prophet in the book of zechariah chapter 14 verse 12. now this will be the plague with which the lord will strike all the peoples who have gone to war against jerusalem their flesh will rot while they stand on their feet and their eyes will rot in their sockets and their tongue will rot in their mouth now i can't confirm this but i recently read that there was huge vast amounts of oil found in israel can you imagine the the amount of intense warfare that will go on for the land of israel if huge reservoirs of oil are found there we don't know what's going to precipitate this world war what's going to bring it to a climax but what we know is that israel somehow is going to be at the center of it israel will be at the center of the conflict zechariah told us john tells us as recorded by the pen of the holy spirit through him in revelation chapter 16 beginning in verse 13 armageddon the antichrist arises it all culminates in a great war the forces of darkness against the forces of light the kingdom of darkness against the children of god and i saw john says coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet three unclean spirits like frogs for they are spirits of demons performing signs which go out to the kings in the whole world listen now to gather them together for the war of the great day of god the almighty and then jesus interjects here and he says in the next verse behold i'm coming like a thief blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his clothes remember let him that's righteous still be righteous so that he will not walk about naked and men will not see his shame and in the very next verse the text goes back to armageddon and they gather them together to the place which in hebrew is called har magetta this incredible world war is going to take place and then just as it is looks like israel is going to be destroyed and the force of darkness will prevail over the entire world just as it looks like it's the end of light the end of god's people the end of god's first covenant people suddenly jesus will break in through the sky in what is oftentimes referred to as the rapture now the word rapture is not actually in the bible but it comes from two words in the book of thessalonians meaning to be caught up and so in the book of thessalonians paul tells us in first thessalonians 4 verse 16 and 17 that we that are alive will be caught up to meet the lord in the air daniel speaks about it and then paul speaks about it we're talking about god breaking into the earth in the middle of armageddon to defeat the enemies daniel chapter 12 verse 1 and 2. armageddon is raging it looks like god's people and the powers of light will be snuffed out forever and then just like it looks like it's all over jesus lights up the sky from one end to the other end from the north to the south and the east to the west every eye will see him now at this time daniel says daniel 12 the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people will arise and there will be a time of distress that just never occurred since there was a nation until that time and at that time everyone who was found written the book will be rescued so we're talking about being in the middle of the conflict right now but now daniel speaks about a rescuing and many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake these to everlasting life but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt so this is the first resurrection as referred to in the book of revelation we read in first thessalonians 4 16 and 17 for the lord himself with the sin from heaven with a shout with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of god and the dead and messiah will rise first then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the lord in the air caught up this is the rapture to meet the lord in the air so we shall forever be with the lord i believe that this rapture this catching up of god's children from the earth both those of us that are alive and those that are asleep in their grace will take place in the portion of scripture that the uh book of revelation calls the last trumpet it's a complicated teaching so i don't have time to get into it all right now but in the book of revelation we have 21 judgments we have seven seals seven trumpets and then seven bowls of wrath i believe and each one of the seals that are released opened release a plague each one of the trumpets release plagues then at the last trumpet the scripture says the dead in christ will be rescued and the last trumpet will also then release the final seven judgments that are called in the book of revelation the seven bowls of wrath so we will be in the world for the first seven seals the first seven trumpets these are plagues falling upon the earth there'll be protection for us but before god releases his final wrath upon the world beloved be encouraged remember jesus said look up don't be afraid don't be afraid your redemption is drawing near amen baruch hashem and praise the lord now what happens when we are lifted up off the earth to meet jesus in the air what happens at that point something in scripture that is so beautiful it's so profound it's like the climax of our salvation in many ways it's called the marriage supper of the lamb the tribulation happens the antichrist arises culminating with armageddon jesus breaks in we're brought up to meet him in the air and what happens when we meet him it's an event that the scripture calls the marriage supper of the lamb now stay with me i know this is a lot of teaching but rather than following every prophetic voice about what's going to happen with every political figure and what's going to happen in america this year listen become a student of the word of god this is important this will ground you in the truth we've got bigger fish to fry than who's going to be governor next week okay god's kingdom is an everlasting kingdom his kingdom prevails regardless of what political figures in office listen what happens isaiah 62 verse 5. for as a young man marries a virgin so your sons will marry you and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride listen now the bridegroom rejoices over the bride isaiah says so your god will rejoice over you we pray for enlightenment father what this is all about listen how the apostle john pens it in revelation 19 beginning in verse 7. let us rejoice he said and be glad and give the glory to him for the marriage of the lamb has come and his bride has made herself ready it was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen bright and clean for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints then he said to me right blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the lamb and he said to me these are true words of god that's where we're headed beloved ones the marriage supper of the lamb you know in the hebrew bible if a man married a woman and after he married her he discovered he wasn't a virgin he was free to divorce her and she would pay the penalty of not being chased doesn't that speak to us of the fact that jesus is coming back for a pure virgin bride now all of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of god but beloved as we continue down the journey of perfection not that we're perfect but our heart is beating and panting after god we're repenting at a deeper and deeper level all the time we're purifying ourselves preparing ourselves to meet jesus our bridegroom as his pure virgin bride we're married to him and then we are rewarded for our deeds we read in the hebrew bible in the book of isaiah chapter 40 verse 10 about this reckoning about the fact that every single time my friend that you have chosen to do the right thing because of your love of god even because of your clean fear of god every time you've repented every time you've done anything for sacrificial love for the sake of jesus every little thing jesus said you're going to be rewarded for yeshua said not even a glass of cold water given his name will go without a reward so isaiah tells us in isaiah 40 behold the lord god will come with might with his arm ruling for him behold his reward is with him and his recompense before him it speaks about the coming of the lord rewarding those that have chosen to love him and live for him those that have denied themselves and the lust of the flesh to love him paul puts it this way in second corinthians 5 for we must all appear before the judgment seat of christ so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body according to what he has done whether good or bad and so every little thing that you've done you're going to be rewarded for it all matters the reward is coming jesus is coming and his reward is with him and then those of us that have entered into the mirror supper of the lamb and have received our reward we will reign with him on the earth during what the scripture calls a thousand-year millennial period the scripture both in the hebrew bible and the new testament speaks about a period on earth lasting a thousand years in which messiah will reign over the nations we read about it in the book of isaiah chapter 65 verse 25 the wolf and the lamb will graze together and the lion will eat straw like the ox and dust will be the serpent's food they will do no evil or harm in all my mountains says the lord and so this is a time at the end of the book of isaiah where there's world peace why is there peace because the god that created the earth the god that created you and i is going to exert his authority and his power into his creation subjecting all evil to himself and reigning over the planet in peace revelation 20 verse 2 and 3 puts it this way and he laid hold of the dragon the serpent of old who was the devil and satan and bound him for a thousand years and he threw him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him so that he would not deceive the nations any longer until the thousand years were completed after these things he must be released for a short time and then the text continues here about what's going to be happening during this thousand-year millennial reign of the lord jesus in verse number four then i saw thrones john said and they sat on them and judgment was given to them and i saw the souls who had been beheaded because of their testimony of jesus and because of the word of god and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image now listen stay with me now i know it's a lot of words but rather than listening to all the prophetic voices about what's going to happen next week or next month let's get grounded in god's eternal word this is what's going to happen let's not keep on following smoke okay this is what's gonna happen he said he saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of jesus and because of the word of god and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand and they came to life and reigned with christ for a thousand years the rest of the dead this is going to be the second resurrection he's talking about the rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed this is the first resurrection so the first resurrection is when we were raptured with jesus before the millennium and then the second resurrection is after the millennium when everybody stands before the throne of god those whose names are written in the lamb's book of life go with him into the new heavens and the new earth those whose names are not written in the lamb's book of life are cast into the lake of fire blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection over these the second death has no power but they will be priest of god and of christ and will reign with him for a thousand years i mean i know this sounds like science fiction but think about it is it is that any more science fiction now that's not even the word i'm just trying to help you connect how simple this is what's more of a miracle that you could reign with christ on earth for a thousand years is that more of a miracle or beloved one is it more of a miracle that you exist right now that right now you have consciousness where did you come from how did you get here you can see our existence is the biggest miracle of all the fact that you and i exist that we have consciousness that we have breath that we can love that we can appreciate beauty beloved that's a greater miracle than anything in the bible that might be hard for you to believe let's cling to our creator and believe that all things are possible with god so the millennium takes place and then what we have happening is beloved ones a final judgment for the unregenerate those that have not been sanctified and born again an everlasting life of the elect so finally today as we conclude our study where does this all culminate word is where is it after after the after the millennial period on earth what happens satan is thrown into the lake of fire those that have not given their life to jesus are judged for their sin they're thrown into the lake of fire and the elect enter into the glory of god well they'll bask in his presence forever and ever so as we close today let's wrap up with these final scriptures from the written word of god isaiah chapter 66 verse number 22 and 24 for just as the new heavens and the new earth which i make will endure before me declares the lord so will your descendants and your name endure the elect even as the heavens the new heavens the new earth will endure forever so will the elect and then god tells us what's going to happen to those that are not redeemed through the blood of the lamb verse 24 they will go out and look at the corpses of the people who have rebelled against me the elect are going to look at the corpses of the people that rebelled against god for their worm will not die and their fire will not be extinguished and they will be inherits to all mankind this is in the hebrew bible it sounds like the book of revelation doesn't it sounds like what jesus talked about but what i just read from you for you was from the hebrew bible bible from the book of isaiah chapter 66 verse 24 the worm will not die and the fire will not be extinguished of course it's all summed up at the end of the book of revelation as we go today to revelation chapter 20 and 21 the grass withers and the flowers fade but the word of god abides forever here beloved one my friend the word of god [Music] then i saw a great white throne and him who sat upon it from whose presence earth and heaven fled and no place was found for them and i saw the dead the great and the small standing before the throne and books were opened and another book was opened which is the book of life and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books according to their deeds and the sea gave up the dead who were in it and death and hates gave up the dead who were in them and they were judged each one of them according to their deeds then death and haze were thrown into the lake of fire this is the second death the lake of fire and if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life he was thrown into the lake of fire then i saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and the first earth passed away and there was no longer any sea and i saw the holy city new jerusalem coming down out of heaven from god prepared as a bride adorned for her husband and i heard a loud voice from the throne saying behold the tabernacle of god is among the people and he will dwell among them and they shall be his people and god himself will be among them and he will wipe away every tear from their eyes and there will no longer be any death there will no longer be any mourning or crying or pain the first things have passed away and he who sits on the throne said behold i am making all things new and he said right these words [Music] are faithful and true beloved one let's get our mind on things above for christ is seated at the right hand of god now is a time to dig deep in the word to dig deep in the holy spirit to strengthen ourself every day by continually repenting in a deeper format so that we can forge our connection with the lord to the holy spirit we can be soldered to the spirit in the name of jesus in such a way the regardless of what we face we will overwhelmingly conquer indeed this is the heritage of the sons and daughters of god but what this means is if you and i are going to conquer if we're going to overcome the heavy darkness that we're entering into preparing us for jesus return yes this is the end this is the end whether jesus comes this year next year or in how many years this is the end we're facing and swimming and moving through the times that jesus spoke of in matthew 24. and so what do we do we stop playing games with jesus we stop having one hand in the world and one hand in the things of the kingdom and we sell ourselves out to him completely without reservation we make up our mind that we're going to obey him sometimes we ask god what do you want us to do and if we feel that god's telling us to do what we want to do we obey him but if we feel him telling us to do what we don't want to do we don't obey him enough of that we can't play around anymore we have to make up our mind to be like jesus to pick up our cross deny ourself and follow him before jesus went to the cross he said father if it's possible let this cup pass for me but not my will but thy will be done will you get down on your knees right now and repent and ask father in king jesus name to forgive you and cleanse you of all unrepentance and to strengthen you so that you can break the back of the enemy through your obedience as you're empowered by the word of god and the holy spirit so that your life and my life will become a testimony of praise it will be like david every word of our mouth and meditation of our heart would be pleasing to him that when we get up in the morning we would set the trajectory of our day to make it about him to seek first the kingdom of god each and every day to live for him and him alone that is the remedy that is the answer satan we break your back right now through the act of repentance in the name of jesus through the authority of his blood and the power of his spirit and for those that may be watching right now and you have not yet fully surrendered to jesus beloved now is the time this is the time that you feel the spirit drawing you if you don't respond now he may withdraw his presence from you and you will never feel so inclined again thereby sealing your fate in doom so if you're listening to my voice right now and you know where you're living and how you're living and you have not yet fully said yes to jesus saying i want to be yours i want you to be my portion with your help i will obey you i'm ready if you've not yet done that get down on your knees beloved one right now and ask him to forgive you to break the power of evil in your heart to sanctify you and to deliver you by his blood and word and the power of the holy spirit i'm going to give you just a moment to pray and we're going to turn it over to david danzi who's going to lead us in a special piece of worship music and then beloved one i'm going to come back and
