Stand Firm

I stand firm well what a command that is that you either stand for something or you're nothing okay you won't stand for anything you're a win so naturally a Christian always stands for something he stands for the Word of God and the Word of God is a tool it is power it is strength it is truth it is love it is understanding and in understanding how precious it is that we have each other in a family of God's own love to do the bidding that he would have us do especially in these end times through Passover we just we learned that as it was coming out of Egypt so it would be at the end when you come out of Babel and confusion and we're going to go there today to begin this stand firm lecture to the 14th chapter of the great book of Exodus the coming out and the children of Israel are moaning and groaning about times are hard and we shouldn't have left Egypt let's go back and be back in bondage again and let's let them let's just go back and be under Pharaoh we're a free people and we have to be free and we always fight for that freedom but these hats Vince that were soft had been misled and we're listening to nonsense and Moses kind of takes charge and he tells them as he listens to them in verse 12 of chapter 14 listen carefully is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt saying let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians for it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness you want to be careful that if you if you capitulate to anyone so let's don't fight um any more they're terrorists but it's okay as it wasn't Egypt you know just let's just get along that's a good way to always be a slick that's a good way to always be in bondage is not to stand for something especially the Word of God verse 13 and Moses said unto the people fear ye not stand still that means stand for something learn how to stand still and listen to God for a minute instead of listening to yo-yos and half crack people that are going to try to preach to you in this world listen to God stand still and see the salvation of the Lord which he will show thee will show to that you today for the Egyptians whom you have seen today you shall see them again no more forever in other words God takes over he's going to destroy them any enemy of Christian peoples that serve the the ten tribe of Israel even the twelve tribe is rayul they have God's blessings when you believe him love him follow him trust him so you've got to stand still and and listen to the word listen to the Word of God men will confuse you deceive you and mislead you that's why you want to always check this man or any other man out in the Word of God verse 14 the Lord shall fight for you and you shall hold your peace you're going to you're going to listen to him and keep kind of your little strategies out of it listen to his plan verse 15 and the Lord said unto Moses we're for Christ now unto me speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward don't just stand there do something stand for something move march do what's right verse 16 but lift first he says to Moses but lift the bow up the rod thy rod and stretch out then hand over the sea and divide it and the children of Israel shall go over on dry ground through the midst of the sea how is that likening end times what is the flood the water the sea it's the flood that comes from Satan's mouth in Revelation chapter 12 verse 15 can you lift the Word of God and part those lies and know the truth and see the beauty of God's Word or are you blind okay that's what you have to do you have to trust him listen to him and lift the word itself in part the sea symbolic as you would read in revelation 17 as the people the people that would deceive you can you part truth from lies through the Word of God and understand so sometimes we have to stand you have to stand on your own and the word of course why because God will always protect you you know many people say well I wish I could believe if you if you had to stand in my shoes for the last 25 years we're a little Church in Northwest Arkansas has become the largest independent church in the world with 300 over 325 television stations on all the satellites and even have our own transponder you know how did that happen God's power following the truth dividing the deception separating lies from from truth were buy and follow that path and God will always bless you let's go now if we maintain the New Testament we'll go to the 16th chapter of 1st Corinthians some of Paul's last warnings as as he teaches to those at Corinth chapter first Corinthians chapter 16 he has just given us one of the most important chapters in the Word of God the fifteenth chapter where he says I don't want you to be ignorant the fact that you've got two bodies you've got this flesh body but you also have a spiritual body that if you love the Lord you're going to live forever otherwise he tells us where we're probably going okay and here he's summing things up basically and we catch it in verse 13 of chapter 16 first Corinthians and and verse 13 reads watch ye what does that mean well your watchman well what are you supposed to watch the things that he said would come to pass in your generation the generation of the fig tree stand fast in the faith quit quit ye like men this this is an old anglo-saxon word that means act manly now you can take gender away from that and what it means is is to act mature as mature Christians don't be willy walking around okay stay with the truth stand fast and firm you know you can listen to this person 15 minutes and that person and you're going by the law of precedent and that's why we're in such trouble even in our field judicial system today is people being messed around with the law of precedent rather than the actual law of our constitution taken from this law the Word of God stand fast stand firm amount to something have have your own credentials and credibility and don't let anyone mess with your credibility that it always surpass let it always stand firm stand for something well what do you mean stand for Christ he died for you so that you could have the opportunity in this world to make that stand knowing from where your power comes or where does my power come from from where father we're nothing without him and with him we have everything verse fourteen let all your things be done with charity that's to say with love loving what loving the father and and loving your neighbor your friends and and those members of the congregation that know the truth and see the truth let's go now if we made to the great book of Thessalonians first thessalonians chapter 3 and let's pick it up in verse 6 if we may verse 6 says Paul Paul is telling them that he couldn't quite make this trip but he sent to both us which is to say Timothy Timothy as we say it and Timothy has returned and this is the message he gave verse 6 chapter 3 first Thessalonians but now when timotheus or Timothy came from ute unto us and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity they were holding that in lying and that you have good remembrance of us always that's to say those that brought the Word of God desiring greatly to see you see us rather as we also to see you in other words the church was growing why was it growing because they were steadfast in truth and love charity towards each other seven therefore brethren we were comforted over you and all our affliction and distressed by your faith in other words even though we were having a rough time seeing your faith and to know that that truth produces that that truth strengthens that it can make your life worth something it sets you apart as a child of God a child that God blesses and so it is doesn't mean you may not have hardships but he tells you how to handle them and hey that's no step for a stepper verse 8 for now we live and this means eternal not just living from one day to the next or one pay day to the next we live eternally you're guaranteed eternal life if you stand fast in the Lord and there it is you've got to make that stand beloved that you have to make that commitment well what if I don't make that commitment well if you had a child and you wanted them to help you do a certain thing and they told you well if I get around to it after a while maybe I'll maybe will maybe I want how would you feel towards that child there's no commitment you're not going to help that child until that child obeys it's the same way with God until you make that commitment to stand to make a difference then when trouble comes he'll get you through it he will always this is why the 1st Corinthians chapter 10 verse 13 is so important and you should never forget it what God says to you there through Paul is there's nothing happening to you that doesn't happen to everybody so don't get all shook up over it I add that and what is I will never tempt you or test you over what you're able to handle and then he gives you the best of all he says I will always show you a way through a way out why because he loves you and he means that when you make that commitment to him when you make that stand when your credibility is said and your credentials are set in concrete I mean it means something to you you don't just give in to every little whim that comes along and when Satan's lies and deceptions come along you take the Word of God and you split it right down the middle you brush it to one side and you do what's right and I think our Father that we have people today that are willing to put it all on the line for the simple truth well there that makes them wealthy because they have the blessings of God so making that stand is very important making that commitment and set you apart from other people it lets God know that your sincere sincere and and that you have that stability that he can count on why Wow you know let's say let's cut away some of the top layer we know there was a first age before this science documents the Word of God documents that the Hebrew manuscripts make it very clear that there was the first earth age when mammoths and dinosaurs wandered this earth as you find the artifacts that's no mystery to God's Word if you have eyes to see the truth and understand the three earth ages didn't when say Satan rebelled certain people had the brass horns to stand against him that way God could choose them now then even to interfere in their lives if he chose to bring to pass what is written there called to be for ordained as it is written in Romans chapter eight because of the he knew he could trust you that you would not give in to Satan for under any conditions that you would make a stand he knows that that's why he can graciously give you eternal life and bless you even when a little hardship comes along verse nine for what thinks can we render to God again for you for all the joy were with we joy for your sakes before our God the fact that you loved him night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith have this word perfect' me or perfect means to mature to bring to maturity to have a real serious thought to be serious before Almighty God verse 11 now God himself and our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ direct our ways unto you make it possible in other words and the Lord makes you to increase and abound in love one toward another and toward all men even as we do toward you you know a true Christian has the ability to love all people one can afford to you can be generous because God loves you and and all the ramifications according to the Word of God that allows this then we follow that path that law for there is the law even of of citizenship in the kingdom and we think our Father for that generous and loving to all our father is because why there is not one living soul that's not a child of God as it's written in the Ezekiel chapter 18 verse for all souls belong to me you've heard these preachers say you need to get around to giving your soul to God too late friend he's already got it it's his to do with as he chooses but he's always fair his credibility is impeccable and you're going to get whatever you deserve and however it happens and and so it is this is why you want to do works that are pleasing to him nobody's perfect we all mess up at times that's why I'm repentance is there and he takes you in his arms and loves you like you would what have your own children and for on repentance and the family is whole again in love and understanding and truth that's God's Way and that's why God's strength comes into families and Wells them together nobody can nobody can interfere with that family because they're a family and Almighty God verse 12 and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another and toward all men even as we do toward you and then to complete the chapter to the end he may establish your hearts unblameable in holiness before god even our Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints that's why the truth should be important to you you want to be holy right up to the end what you don't want to be deceived you want to carry that torch of truth and men men on large majorities will be deceived unfortunately one they've never studied the word they've listened to men and well it's a preacher if a preacher says it let me tell you something among all the preachers in this nation there are very few scholars there's a difference between a scholar and a preacher okay there's a difference between a teacher even in a scholar but you need to get a little more depth and that is the simplicity in which Christ teaches it's not some complicated thing man complicates it man as it was mentioned several times in the Word of God that is like an old he-goat to where the water is clear but you'll get in and stomp around and stir it up the mud till you it's not clear and that's what a lot of your so-called speakers will do if you're not careful they pull away from God's love and the simplicity of standing against our enemy which is to say Satan there's another place you're supposed to stand he mentioned it there the return of Jesus Christ you happen to live in the generation of the fig tree it's very this is one that Jesus said to you in Mark 13 don't maybe you should learn it he said learn it and he meant it why because it lets you know the generation on which the en would finally come nobody knows the time or the hour but the whys do know the season is Daniel chapter 12 reports so let's go to another place of in the same letter the the his fourth in the fourth chapter the very next chapter here in 1st Thessalonians really confuses a lot of people Paul makes it very clear let me just say a word or two about it in the thirteenth and fourteenth verse he says I don't want you to be ignorant like the heathen I'm quoting verbatim and memory from chapter four of first Thessalonians he said I don't want you to be ignorant like the heathen concerning if you believe Christ rose from the dead then you better believe all those that are asleep or have died in him or with him they've risen also they're not out here to hold in the ground and at the last Trump we who are alive and remain and this is the subject of Thessalonians as our gathering back to Christ we that are alive and remain will be changed into that spiritual body and join them right here on earth as it is written in Revelation chapter 21 - to overcome now a lot of people are going to tell you we're gonna fly away the word just doesn't say it as a matter of fact Ezekiel chapter 13 verses 18 through 20 God says I'm against people that teach my children to fly to save their soul I'm against it if God's against that you better stay out of that house and get to the truth so what is it like the coming of Christ are gathering back to him going if you would to second Thessalonians second Thessalonians naturally follows 1st Thessalonians chapter 2 there's a stand here you should make and let's cover it real slow and real well verse 2 the subject is are gathering back to Christ okay how is it going to happen you want to listen to God or do you want to listen to man let's see what God has to say about it now we beseech you brethren by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and by our gathering together unto Him now what's the subject Christ returning and our gathering back to them don't let anyone deceive you that's what it says and that's what it means verse 2 that you be not soon shaken in mind or be troubled neither by spirit nor by word nor by letter for us from us as that the day of Christ is at hand why what he's saying here is don't let some dreamer some letter from us don't misunderstand it he's talking about 1st Thessalonians chapter 4 don't don't let that throw you because there's no way Christ is returning and we're going to gather back to him until the next verse is completed well what is it well let's check it out verse 3 let no man deceive you by any means for that day shall not come at the return of Christ it shall not come except there come a falling away first that's the word in the greek is apostasy okay and that man of sin be revealed the son of perdition perdition is a plenty of Satan's name in the in the Greek okay prime root and there is no way that Christ is going to return to this earth until the man of sin Satan appears first this is what flyaway doctrine will get you in trouble if you're not careful because you know what that son of perdition is going to say I've come together your way and people haven't been taught and have not read the simplicity in which God our father's word brings this forth what does this son of perdition now let me say something to you in case maybe you don't know but what does it mean perdition means to perish there is only one entity that has already been sentenced to perish by name only one and you can read it in Ezekiel chapter 28 verses eighteen and nineteen it's none other than Satan himself the king of Tyrus which is the Tyrus in the Hebrew tongue is rock the wrong rock so who is it talking about here is talking about Satan well what is Satan gonna be doing there verse four listening carefully who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God showing himself that He is God this is talking about Jerusalem it's talking about the Mount he will appear there he will claim to be Jesus Christ he will claim to be Almighty God he Manuel God with us how many people are gonna believe him I mean hey this dude as it is written in Revelation 13 can snap his fingers and lightning come down from heaven he's supernatural a lot of people are gonna be sucked in by that why because of their ignorance that that day would come and it is God's testing of his children that's when you want to remember you make a stand you stand for what you know is true you're not one of Satan's little children he's not going to deceive you for one moment you can take the Word of God and lift that staff and split those lies right down the middle and stay on solid ground the ground of truth verse 5 remember you not that when I was with you yet with you I told you these things when we were sitting around a campfire I shared all this with you in detail don't you remember verse 6 and now you know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time now you know where Jerusalem is the land of Judea you know what Daniel said about the days of abomination and how it would come to pass you can't be fooled why because you have the truth verse 7 for the mystery of iniquity doth already work only he who now letteth will let until he be taken out of the way this verse throws a lot of people because they don't understand the Greek the verb in this verse is Tran Steve what does that mean what does being transitive the verb being transitive mean it means that you must transfer the subject an object and even the article back to verse 4 of whom is being discussed well it's Satan well who holds Satan now well heaven you never read revelation 12 verses 6 and 7 Michael and the Archangels hold him but they're going to boot him out on earth and then Walter you own earth that are deceived by him in other words only until Michael is ready to release him then and then only shall he come flooding to this earth verse 8 and then shall that wicked be revealed whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming you do not want to have worshipped that one he many people will because of their ignorance and not appreciating the word of God you do not want to be one of those you want to make a stand to make a difference to know the truth until that his truth lead guide and direct you verse eight and then shall that wicked be revealed whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming you know who does part of that what is that brightness and what is that fire he wanted us in him to Kindle okay that brightness is truth it's the Word of God and he wants you to see that that word has a good lift a good start and we're going to fan it and we're going to Kindle it and we're going to let the truth go around this world where there will at least be those that do care that are willing to make that stand will not be embarrassed deceived or misled when that comes well who is he going to destroy verse nine even him whose coming is after the working of Satan meaning one of the powers of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders all a bunch of lies you know what part of the lie is important you don't have to understand the book of Revelation don't you know you're going to be gone that's a lie the word revelation means to unveil or to make no one why would God call it the book that is to be made knowing if you're not supposed to know it why would you let some man tell you that when God tells you otherwise it's a good question verse 10 and with all deceivableness imeem he's loaded with it of unrighteous up unrighteousness in them that perish you want to join them I don't because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved salvation is a beautiful thing but there's a little more to it what it well what do you mean more to it than Christ paid the price were all saved yeah or if you believe on him but also you've got to believe his word and do it otherwise you're a Satan worshiper if you worship Satan when he appears first verse 11 and for this cause God shall send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie so you see this is how the lied grows so easily God allows it if they are too ignorant that's not a bad word it simply means they don't know okay if they don't know any better and they won't make a stand and they separate themselves from the ways of the world and stand still and that God talked to them then they get their deserve ends they gives God says I'll let the lives just pour out on them and they'll believe him I don't have to tell you they'll believe him how many of you have tried to talk to someone and share the word of truth they turned on you they wouldn't listen when I don't have time I don't have time you know when you're too busy for God then he's too busy for you you're in bad shape your credibility is going down the tubes the one that can save you does not wish to ignore you because he loves you so you want to be willing to make that commitment God will allow that light to come forth it's going to but you can take that staff just as Moses did and part those lies and deception with the Word of God until they fall in the sea and bring truth forth verse 12 that they all might be damned who believed not the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness one-play church little church next door it's according to whether God's will God bless every church that teaches the Word of God okay chapter by chapter verse by verse not some one verse charlie that takes one verse and then blows hot air for an hour okay but that God's Word speak verse 13 but we are bound to give thanks always to God for you brethren beloved of the Lord because God has from the beginning when the beginning that means the first Earth Age if you would chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth God's elect are set to one side they know that truth and they've known since they were children there was more to God's words than they had been taught and so it is otherwise if that seems like that's kind of off the board before you put her on the shelf and sleep on have a nice rest verse 14 we're into he called you by our gospel Paul speaking to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ that's that's the results okay therefore brethren stand fast that's why we came here okay stand firm or you stand for nothing you're a nobody unless you make that stand to know the truth to know the true coming of the Lord Jesus Christ the fact that the fate comes first it's just like the great book of Matthew 24 we just finished teaching where some people will tell you oh Lord I want to be that first one taken in the field and what's the subject and a Christ is coming first to deceive people and they say they want to go first question mark that's the height of deception of ignorance to have the subject being the full coming of Antichrist and then want to be taken by um first being they pay no attention to the subject the object or the article most children can read if you leave them alone and most of them could teach if you don't clutter their minds with nonsense and let them follow subject article you got to make that stand stand fast and hold the traditions which you have been taught what are those traditions it's the doctrine of Jesus Christ that the false one comes first that then that you make that stand in faith and in love 16 now our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God even our Father which hath loved us and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace that's everlasting that's eternal my friend verse 17 comfort your hearts and establish you and every good word and work what's the good word God's Word what's the work your work and bringing that word forth you know it doesn't mean you got to be a preacher or teacher or something like that it's just that you know when you have the truth you don't shake up easily because you know what's coming down the road what's coming down the pike and you're either gonna you know that you're going to find a way over it under it around it or through it you're going to do it because you're a can-do type person and you know that God's going to show you and your credibility the fact that you stand for something is ever ever so very important now in closing chapter 6 the great book of Revelation chapter 6 the great book of Revelation why you should be able to make a stand why we came all this distance verse six I'm sorry chapter six verse 12 and I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal and lo there was a great earthquake and the Sun became black as sackcloth of hair and the moon became his blood we know that when that forth vial is poured out this happens what the sixth seal the sixth Trump and the sixth vial that 666 that Satan's number this is when he comes and what is this earthquake because Michael throwing him out of heaven verse thirteen and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs you better learn the parable of the fig tree when she taketh when she is shaken of a mighty wind in other words the great day of the dispatching of Satan to this earth 14 and the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together and every mountain and Island were moved out of their place in other words this is just before the great follow-up of the Cata Bowl 15 and the kings of the earth and the great men this is the ten earthly kings of Revelation and also the ten kings that Satan brings with him and the rich men and the chief captains and the mighty men and every bondman and every free man hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains what were they doing 16 and said to the mountains and rocks fall on us and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne from the wrath of the land what land the Lamb of God why would they want to do that they thought they were good Christian people they woke up finally through that sixth seal and realized they'd been in bed with Satan went to church all their life were real few potatoes a man corner even and then realize the first one that showed up though he claimed to be Christ you see that's what Anti Christ and the Greek tongue means instead of Jesus instead of Christ not anti-freeze as you would use it in English it means he comes instead of the true Messiah they've worshiped him and they are too ashamed to face the true Christ the true Lamb of God the lamb slain because they were really pretty good people they were just asleep because they hadn't studied this word of God they hadn't read it with the simplicity in which Christ brings it forth how much easier could he have made it that Satan comes first and he has in these chapters one little short lecture we've had today I could follow that up with a dozen more that you'll be deceived if you accept the first one that's why they're so ashamed don't find yourself in that crowd don't what a shame that would be to have to know you were claimed to be a Christian and then have to face the Lord Jesus Christ and say I've worshipped Satan you know what he says a lot of pieces of when I returned a lot of people are going to run to me and say oh Jesus we've healed in your name is that you get away from me I never knew you because they're talking to the wrong Christ as many times as Antichrist is written in the Word of God they don't seem to realize that why we came here as in the next verse 17 to complete the lecture for the great day of his wrath is come and who is able to stand who is able to make that stand you are you can make that stand because you have on the Full Gospel armor of God to stand against the fiery darts of Satan and you can do it Ephesians chapter 6 I'm quoting and you you have nothing to hide and nothing to be ashamed of and you stand firm and you make that stand and on that day you can stand proudly knowing you carried that banner in that banner is Christ that you never wavered you never failed that you were a true spiritual virgin right up to the end not one molested spiritually by the false Christ and ready to participate in that final waiting spiritually speaking of the Lord Jesus Christ so this is the time to make that stand to make a difference don't ever let that stand cause you to be one that is arrogant one that is short-sighted and one that knows it all never never take that role you must always go to the level of the person you're talking with and bring them to where you are it is not important how much you know what is important is can you help them can you bring them up in other words you're to be a Fisher of men and when you go out fishing you don't say look there's a big old trout pick up the anchor and throw it at them how many trout are you gonna catch none fish you take the truth and you throw that truth out there whereas America mentioned in the Word of God where we left out the superpower of superpowers and these end times anyone knows God wouldn't leave us out that he uses us so fish with truth and pull people into that net of truth and comfort whereby on that day they also can stand and stand for something and that something is our Heavenly Father making proud once you do that Heavenly Father thank you Father for your word thank you Father for the truth

give your babysitter a big hug for me Jim from Alabama in the past I have always taken communion on the days before the Passover am I wrong did not Jesus in the disciples take the Passover meal on the 14th of the first month the 14th day started to sunset when did Jesus say to take communion he gave us an order what when did Jesus say to take communion he said as oft as you meet how often did they meet Passover Pentecost and Tabernacles three times a year and when it is convenient that's when you should take it don't don't go into some new religion of legalism that you do this and do that whenever you take it and if a person is ill there needs to take it another time take it okay it don't make a ritual out of it this is why that I do not serve communion every time we have church because he meant three about three times a year why if you do it every week it kind of becomes a tradition you know and it loses the beauty of what communion is really about that's what he said and he said I won't take it again with you when I return and he will Lowell from Washington question in Hebrews chapter six four and seven it states that if a person knows God from then turns from God that he or she will never be saved no well it isn't exactly what it says okay I think methinks you misunderstand a little bit what it's saying is when you sin repent don't say you got to be saved because who does the saving you see go back and read the chapter a little bit of the prior chapter in 5 where he says you've been you've been in this word for many years and you can't even take pablum you're still in diapers you're not even potty-trained speaking of maturity as a Christian verse one of Hebrews six the chapter you're talking about says be perfect the word is mature you got to mature and grow up and know don't ask Christ to save you again that's like asking him to be crucified all over again when he saves you you're saved with the exception of sinning and not repenting for it and drifting away from the hand of salvation so after that the monkeys on your back not Christ don't try to get him to die on the cross again he did it once that's it final said and done and all you have to do is repent you don't have to get baptized over and over and over and over and be saved over and over and over because Christ did his work then it's up to you to do yours the unpardonable sin you'll find in Luke chapter 12 verse 10 it is for one of God's elect somebody that knows better to be delivered up before the Antichrist and refused the Holy Spirit to speak through them that's unpardonable will it happen I do not believe it will I cannot conceive that one of God's elect would withhold they're ready to go they're pulling those traces taunt they're ready for action it is their destiny their purpose and they're going to fulfill it Barbara from Tennessee question who or what is amens are how does God feel about inner amends are as a half-breed okay and and you can you this is a man's or is not a child born out of wedlock the men's are is a half-breed that is not me making a racial statement that's what the word means and it's translated bastard in the book of Deuteronomy and you couldn't simply go check out that word in the Hebrew dictionary and it will tell you what causes it and it is not a necessarily a good thing but it does not prevent one from going to heaven it simply prevents one from holding a job in the king line as far as heaven is concerned because they have their own quarter patricia from louisiana my question what side of the gulf do people who who who what's here truly who truly love God our Father or believed in the Lord Jesus Christ as God has only begotten their Savior but pass away believing in the rapture doctrine it doesn't hurt them they all that the doc rapture doctrine can do is cause you that Satan's message when he comes I've come to fly your way and in as much as he has not appeared the Antichrist and they have not worshiped him there's there's no sin okay I'm sure they're not going to be all that happy that they did not cover God's Word chapter by chapter and verse by verse to know all the truth or as much as is possible to obtain but the sin did not take place that is to say they were not deceived by Satan and and so it is Emily from Kentucky please tell me about Acts chapter 10 where God says three times to eat the meat what that it is no longer unclean whoa whoa whoa he did not say that he did not say that it is unclean not unclean rather the whole you missed the whole point Cornelius people Gentiles were at the gate up to that point salvation was just for the house of Israel and did not pertain to Gentiles necessarily and in as much as cornea where he loved the Lord whole house he loved the Lord and and he's sent for Peter to bring salvation into his house and the Peter was up on the roof praying and God wanted him to Peter would not want to accept Gentiles okay and there was one point where he was even eating with them after Paul made it clear it was okay and then as quick as other Israelites showed up he got away from him ashamed of it legalism okay but anyway did God have Peter eat he did not he took the sheets back every time and then he made it very clear I am NOT talking about food I am saying do not call any man common or unclean that loves the Lord you got it had nothing to do with food it was used as an analogy where about Peter could understand that God is saying yeah the food is not clean but man a Gentile that loves me is and you will receive him that's what God was saying to him and that is the point aloes look up a loose in the Greek dictionary and you'll understand Jose from California in the Bible Jesus refers to Satan as the Morningstar towards the end of Revelation Jesus calls himself the Morningstar can you tell me the difference between the two references Satan always copies everything he he copies every name that's why he's called instead of Christ rather than that because he wants to be Christ okay he copies cheat steals and lies and he will always try to take that name that makes him something he is not that's where he fell in the first place is rather than protecting the mercy seat just sit on it he wanted to be Christ I'm out of time I love you all because you enjoy studying God's Word chapter by chapter verse by verse most of all God
