earthquakes and volcanic eruptions those things have been told to happen during certain times of judgment during the seven years of tribulation that are coming and what we're seeing going on right now is pre-tribulation events that tell us we're in the beginning of sorrows and the world is rapidly moving to the tribulation time and to the events that will happen during those seven years i don't know whether you are aware of it or not but volcanoes are erupting all over the globe there are 24 active volcanoes in the world right now and a volcano erupted just this week in the canary islands amid a swarm of earthquakes and when i talk about a storm i mean a swarm there were 25 000 earthquakes that happened in this canary island when the volcano erupt and seismologists are afraid that a good portion of that island is going to sink into the sea there's the convulsions are so great the volcanic eruption and the earthquakes are so tremendous that that part of the island is going to sink and be no more well let's look at that from the perspective of god's word the scripture tells us in isaiah 24 and verse 20 that in these days the final days there will be such iniquity such wickedness such evil such sin upon the world such transgression that it will cause tremendous earthquakes don't ever believe that earthquakes are just a natural phenomenon they're not there is a linkage between the behavior and conduct of man and what transpires on this planet come on somebody say amen and here's the scripture said the earth is going to reel to and fro like a drunkard and be removed like a hammock and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it and it shall fall and not rise again that's an end-time scripture that is telling us about volcanic eruptions about earthquakes that's going to take place and the root cause of it is that man's sin has become so great that the earth that was designed to be inhabited by righteous people can no longer stand the sin that is being committed wow if you want more information about that go to romans chapter 8 where the bible tells us the whole creation will groan and travail in pain so what we're seeing now is the beginning of those convulsions that are prophesied to happen for the end times and they're moving toward a particular scripture in the revelation in revelation 16 and 20 the scripture says that the convulsions and the upheaval of nature is going to be so severe and so acute that the islands are going to fleet away flee away and the mountains which are volcanoes are not going to be found so volcanic eruptions and islands sinking into the sea it's already beginning to happen now there's something else that is very significant that happened this week the united states army has been caught showing a powerpoint presentation to the troops which emphasize the seven tenets of satanism to promote the government's mandate that all the military must be vaccinated they're resorting to satanism to tell the troops this is the reason that you have to be vaccinated in his report tucker carlson said quote so here we have the u.s army doing public relations for satanism end of quote the entire powerpoint presentation was filled with lies if it's coming from the devil it's got to be a lie it's got to be full of falsehoods and the entire point presentation was filled with false claims such as only three people have died from the vaccine when really thousands have died in revelation chapter 9 and verse 20 the scripture says this and the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands that they should not worship devils not worship devil and the scripture said in the tribulation that there is going to be an acceptance a social acceptance of demon worship and as far as our military as far as certain branches of our culture and institutions we're all ready there so that is a that event that happened in the military is put into sharp focus by what's written in the revelation now the church of satan in texas has sided with the abortionists in an attempt to overturn the texas new law that eliminates abortion after a heartbeat is detected they were able to get that through and it has stood in fact it stood the test in the federal courts even the supreme court said that it could stand and now the abortionists are doing everything they can to overturn that law and the satanist said we are going to help you because abortion to us is a ritual of our religion well the devil is not just a liar he's also a murderer jesus said it was a murder from the beginning and but what is really alarming to us is this is becoming socially accepted and that should really alarm every american the high and holy days on the hebrew calendar are coming to an end with an eight day celebration of sukkot which is the feast of tabernacles you remember the seven feasts the last one is the feast of tabernacles it was an eight day affair they'd have to go out and build boots and dwell there for eight days and remember the pilgrimage and remember the miracles that god did for their forefathers to bring them out of egypt and to take them through the wilderness and eventually a generation inherited the promised land the feast of tabernacles sukkot k is coming to an end but this year was different what made this year different was this a major asteroid whizzed by earth at 21 000 miles per hour during that biblical feast now the one of the reasons why it's significant is this because we're getting all of these signs in the heavens that are telling us that seven year tribulation is approaching what's going to take place in revelation 6 and 13 is that the stars of heaven fall to the earth even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs when she is shaken of a mighty wind you see during the tribulation a major asteroid similar to the one that just passed by will slam into the earth and the consequences of that collision will result in a third of the world's fresh water becoming toxic or radioactive you'll find that scripture in the revelation revelation 8 11. so we're looking at all the events that are happening from the standpoint of the prophetic scriptures and we are understanding some things are happening which are signs the rehearsals of things to come in revelation 8 and 11 the bible talks about a star or a meteor asteroid called wormwood and it's going to slam into the earth and a third part of the waters become wormwood and many men died of the waters because they were made bitter and then there's always every day the sign that jesus told us to watch for in connection to earthquakes in divers places he said that there was going to be mysterious diseases the king james calls them pestilences but they're really the world real greek word for it is mysterious disease not just a disease but one that is mysterious one that people can't figure out one that nobody is able to really discern its origin or how it is to be treated or even how it is to be cured it's mysterious and it's now clear that the governments of the world are using the pandemic that we're in to achieve the new world order which includes the infamous mark of the beast you see the mysterious diseases are becoming more mysterious every day and it's not just a medical situation anymore it is more of a political situation than it is anything in the new world order the antichrist is going to demand that all both small and great rich and poor free and bond receive a mark in their right hand or in their forehead and that no man might buy or sell save he that had the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name the vaccine i want to make this very clear because i've been accused of running people off who take the vaccine i've never done that we'll never do that the vaccine is not the mark of the beast but forced vaccinations are setting the stage for the day when antichrist will demand that everyone take the mark just like the governments are now demanding that everyone take the shot and by the time the mark becomes a requirement to live in the new world order people will be conditioned to believe that this is just another booster it's just another shot in other words what's happening right now is psychological warfare the psychology is conditioning people to accept the mark of the beast when it is introduced that's going to happen in the midway point of the tribulation and we haven't even seen the beginning of the tribulation yet but the conditions that are going to fulfill that prophecy are already happening day by day so i want to make it very clear the vaccine is not the mark of the beast if you take the vaccine it doesn't mean that you're going to miss heaven it probably means you're going to get there before you planned on it hello but it's not the mark it is leading up to the mark now the pressure is universal since biden's executive order but there is more data surfacing every day that the vaccines don't prevent the spread of the virus and actually is causing it to spread hear me listen according to the public health data released by public health scotland you see there is so much censorship in our nation that most of the times you've got to look beyond our shores to the press and to the media in other countries to really find out some semblance of truth there's just so much that's been doctored come on somebody say amen to that well this is coming from scotland and according to the public health data released by the public health scotland listen to this 80 percent of covet 19 deaths in august in their country was among the fully vaccinated 80 the data in the united kingdom revealed that their country is in its third wave of covet despite the massive numbers who have been vaccinated and the restrictions on the british people you see if the vaccines worked the numbers should have been coming down but instead they're going up in israel most of the country has been vaccinated and have received two booster shots but 95 of seriously ill patients in the hospitals right now are the vaccinated japanese researchers have released a scientific study showing that the sars covet ii delta variant quote is poised to acquire complete resistance to the existing vaccine the study discovered that when four common mutations were introduced to the delta variant pfizer's mrna injection enhanced its infectivity causing it to become drug resistant these researchers are convinced that the delta variant already has three mutations and the fourth will happen shortly they did this study on animals and their animal experimentation found that after the animals were injected with the mrna technology all the animals died the vaccine actually neutralizes the antibodies against the sars covid now the vice president of the who european advisory group of experts in immunization his name is professor christian perrone he's a specialist in topical pathologies and emerging infectious diseases he's chairman of the specialized committee on communicable diseases of the high council of public health he said yesterday quote are you hearing me quote unvaccinated people are not dangerous vaccinated people are dangerous to others end of quote then he continued to say quote listen to this because everything keeps changing when it comes to this vaccine they tell us one thing one day then they'll tell us something else another day they've done this with mass they've done the social distancing they're doing it with the vaccines they have said vac unvaccinated people need to be quarantined they need to be put in a place where they cannot be dangerous to others now listen to this coming from the who quote all vaccinated people must be quarantined over the winter months end of quote the narrative you see is changing being vaccinated was supposed to be the path back to normal and the vaccines were supposed to be the miracle drug that prevented the spread of the virus but it isn't first they wanted to quarantine the unvaccinated because the unvaccinated according to the president were to blame for the pandemic but now with evidence that the vaccine may be actually spreading a variant of the virus the call is made to quarantine the vaccinated as well as the unvaccinated if anybody is contaminated with the covet this man from the who wants to haul them off to some quarantine place the truth is that the country and the world is being deceived by an elaborate con job as globalists work their plan to destroy individual freedom what they want to control the population they want to implement marxism and eliminate their opposition anyone that knows the basic facts of the nazi takeover of germany before world war ii is aware that hitler justified the concentration camps for jews because of medical reasons today new zealand australia and canada have medical facilities to force unvaccinated people and covet patients to be imprisoned and now it's coming to the united states the government of washington state first posted and then edited an ad which advertised for quote strike team consultants end of quote for an isolation and quarantine facility located in centralia washington strike team consultants strike team refers to an armed government assault that uses violence to achieve its goal in this case it means medical kidnapping they would raid the homes of unvaccinated people force them into quarantine camps at gunpoint and if they die there it'll be blamed on the covid and of course the public and family members will never be told the truth now the newest directive from the who is that vaccinated people should be quarantined all winter it sounds like a scheme to reduce earth's population it sounds like a eugenics plan to drastically decrease vast numbers of people since these camps are in five countries right now and massive deaths is predicted for the first part of the coming tribulation in revelation chapter 6 and verse 8 john said i looked and behold a pale horse and his name that set on him was death and hell followed with him and power was given him over the fourth part of the earth to kill with sword and with hunger and with death and with the beast of the earth that's how it says in the in the king james this is how it reads in the original greek authority over the fourth part of the earth to kill with a sword with famine and with pestilence that's mysterious diseases and by means of the wild beast of the earth now for a long time for a long time people didn't really understand that particular part of the prophecy about the beast of the earth and they had in their mind the image of lions and bears and all of these things that were coming in and they would invade and uh human camps human cities and they would just take people out but we know better now since we are seeing things as because we're so close to the fulfillment of this prophecy when the bible's talking about the beast of the earth and by pestilence we have to stand back and remember where all of this that where all of this virus is coming from the hunter virus which is deadly comes from mice the bubonic plague comes from fleas on rats and the covet from bats and it was through dr faulch's gain of function research but the virus moved from bats and was wetted with the common cold and we've got the pandemic today the world has the pandemic i don't have the pandemic we don't participate in the pandemic he that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the almighty and i'll say of the lord he's my refuge and my fortress and my god in him will i trust and surely he shall deliver me from the snare of the fowler from the noise and pestilence he'll cover me with his feathers under his wings shall i trust his truth shall be my shield and my buckler and i will not be afraid for the arrow that fight by day nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday a thousand shall fall at my side and ten thousand at my right hand but it shall not come nigh me only with my eyes shall i see and behold the reward of the wicked but because i have made the lord who is my refuge even the most high my habitation there shall no evil befall me and neither shall any plague come nigh my dwelling everybody that believes that the word of god is true put your hands together and give the lord a shout of praise in the house today hallelujah [Applause] just one more thing one more thing before we just go on and and leave this topic tonight a male clinic trained medical expert his name is dr ryan cole he's a pathologist he says that the vaccines out there are not really vaccines there are therapies and decided some statistic iceland 77 percent of that nation is vaccinated but now their cases are up 677 percent higher than a year ago in norway 66 percent of the population is vaccinated vaccinated and cases are up 1067 percent in israel 80 percent of the population is vaccinated and year-to-year cases is up 130 and deaths are up 56 he said a true vaccine would allow one to be immune and we're not seeing that happen this doctor says quote what would be good to implement are the drugs that shall not be named and he's talking about ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine said quote with the existing programs to withhold treatment for covet and push vaccines both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated get sick he said boosters are the wrong protection for the wrong virus and that's the reason that two people on the fda quit in protest of what the administration wants to do in pushing new booster shots this is not about medicine this is not about prevention this is about the government finding a crisis that they can use to achieve their goal of a new world order a one world religion and a one world government this is an antichrist system but he that now hinders will hinder until he be taken out of the way and i want you to pray with me that the people of god all over our nation would just get a holy ghost boldness in them and people will awaken to what is going on there are so many people right now that are beginning to push back on all of these government orders one police force the whole police force quit because it wouldn't be vaccinated there's nurses that are walking off their jobs because they refuse to be vaccinated i know that the pressure is on but the pressure against god's people has been something that the church has experienced for the past two thousand years and always the lord has come through for us always god has showed up and showed out and he's still the same god today and i'm telling you one more time america needs to know greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world come on somebody say amen put your hands together and give the lord praise hallelujah okay now so it's really important all these things that are happening you've got if you don't know the book of revelation you're at a loss to explain what's going on but if you know what the scripture says is going to happen in the last days happen during the tribulation times you can put all of these events in proper perspective and it shouldn't alarm you or grieve you you may get aggravated and frustrated but it ought to do something else it ought to put faith and power in you that i'm taking this before the lord in prayer and we are going to emerge from these times more than a conqueror through him that loved us amen look at the revelation chapter one and verse one the revelation of jesus christ which god gave unto him to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass and he sit and signified it by his angel unto his servant john now there's some key words here that need to be underlined and we'll go to them in just a minute but the revelation of jesus christ and the word signified tells us that signs and symbols are used throughout the book to convey divine truth who bear record of the word of god john says i bear record of the word of god of the testimony of jesus christ of all things that he that he saw blessed is he that readeth and they that hear the words of this prophecy and keep those things which are written therein for the time is at hand amen so just raise your hand right now and thank god that you're blessed the scripture said you're blessed the bible said you're blessed the holy ghost said you are blessed the very fact that you're studying the book of revelation you are blessed why is that so important because the devil can't curse what god is blessed then in the fourth verse john to the seven churches which are in asia grace be unto you and peace from him which is which was and which is to come really that part needs to be underlined which is which uh was and which is to come and from the seven spiritual which are before his throne and from jesus christ who is the faithful witness and the first begotten of the dead and the prince of the kings of the earth unto him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood and it made us kings and priests unto god and his father to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever amen behold he cometh with clouds and every eye shall see him and they also which pierced him and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him even so amen i am alpha and omega the beginning and the ending saith the lord which is which was and which is to come the almighty i john who also am your brother in companion and tribulation and in the kingdom and patience of jesus christ was in the aisle that is called patmos for the word of god and for the testimony of jesus christ i was in the spirit on the lord's day and heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet saying i am alpha and omega the first and the last and what thou seest write in a book and send it unto the seven churches which are in asia under ephesus and under smyrna and under pergamus and unto thyatira and under sardis and under philadelphia and unto laodicea and i turn to see the voice that spake with me and being turned i saw seven golden candle sticks and in the midst of the seven candlesticks one light kind of the son of man clothed with a garment down to the foot gird about the paps with a golden girdle his head and his hairs were white like wool as white as snow and his eyes were as a flame of fire and his feet block under fine brass as if they burned in a furnace and his voice as the sound of any waters and he had in his right hand seven stars and out of his mouth and a sharp two-edged sword and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength and when i saw him i fell at his feet as dead and he laid his right hand upon me saying unto me fear not i am the first and the last i am he that liveth and was dead but behold i'm alive for evermore amen and have the keys of hell and of death write the things which thou has seen and the things which are and the things which shall be hereafter the mystery of the seven stars which thou sowest in my right hand and the seven golden candlesticks the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches now what we have just done is read the first section of the book of revelation the key verse to unlock the outline that is given in this book is in the 19th verse we looked at that last wednesday but i just want to repeat it tonight john was told write the things which thou hast seen revelation 1 19 gives the outline of the book just three parts to the book of revelation the first part is the first chapter from revelation 1 13 through 18 the things which thou has seen the things which he saw was the revelation of jesus he saw the glorified christ and he saw him as a high priest everything that we just read about the description that was given to him given to john about him the dress that he had on the kind of the kind of apparel that he was wearing that is all reflective of the high priest glory to the lord and john needed to see he was on the isle called patmos he was there for the testimony of jesus christ they didn't know what to do with john that tried to kill him by boiling him with oil but he refused to die you just can't kill what refuses to die so he refused to die and they tried to find out some way of dealing with him and they thought we could put him on this prison island this barren island in the aegean sea we'll put him out there until he loses his mind this is what the romans were thinking when he loses his mind we are going to bring him back and parade him in front of all of these cities these roman provinces that have christian churches to show them this is john the last apostle of the lord and this is what will happen to you if you follow this thing called christianity but it just didn't work their strategy was turned upside down because god had other plans for john the holy ghost was waiting on john on patmos before he ever got there hallelujah hallelujah that's why my friend we cannot be frustrated about the future the lord is already there doing like boaz did for ruth he's piling up handfuls on purpose for us there's blessings for tomorrow there is deliverance for tomorrow there's victory for tomorrow hallelujah to the lamb every night when you read in the scripture in the old testament where the children of israel were in such dilemma and when they were really facing a foe that they could not defeat physically or militarily god showed up and he kept telling them in the morning you're going to see the glory of the lord in the morning you're going to know that the battle is not yours but the battle is mine in the morning go you out against them glory to god and we can get up just like john knowing that when we get to patmos god's already there before us when we get in tomorrow the situation the crisis all the pressure the lord has already provided a way of our escape the victory's already won all we got to do is walk and receive it come on somebody say amen the battle still is the lord's i said the battle still is the lord's the battle still is the lord's he's made proficient for tomorrow come on and give the lord a mighty praise in the house tonight hallelujah so that's the first part and we just all cover the first part we're going to take some a closer look at it in just a minute but the things which are that's talking about the present that's talking about the church age that takes in revelation 2 and revelation 3 the seven churches the seven churches of asia john was told you write these things down and you send it to the seven churches which are in asia asia is the area now that is called turkey and there were seven churches on a circular road of a hundred miles ephesus and smyrna and pergamos and thyatira and sardis and philadelphia and laodicea it was a circular road and every one of those churches existed in john's day but every one of those churches had conditions a unique condition in those church churches that typified a certain period of church history and that's one of the reasons why that john was told you write this to the church it's not that the the those letters to the churches are history and they are no longer relevant to us because those conditions reveal the strategy that satan has against the church in every age and you could take it individually and personally because you see the devil doesn't have anything new blessed be the lord i said the devil has nothing new he can't invent anything new he's not a creator he can only distort he can only pervert what's already been created he doesn't have anything new everything that he tried on you he's already tried on somebody else he's already tried it on age in church ages past and all of that is in the revelation so so there's these things that are pertinent to us individually but they also represent seven distinct periods of church history amen okay now we get into revelation chapter one the fin or the final part of this outline is the things which shall be hereafter everybody say the word hereafter that's one of the key words an operative word revelation 4 to revelation 22 the rest of the book are the things which shall be hereafter and you have to ask yourself the question here after what hereafter the church age hereafter the church age revelation 4 1 is the transitional verse where john is told just flip over there revelation fourth chapter first verse john is told after this okay he's been he's got these letters to the seven churches and after this i looked after the church ages finished i looked and behold a door was opened in heaven and the first voice which i heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me which said come up hither and i will show you things which must be what's the next word here after the things which must be here after everything from revelation 4 to 22 is going to be after the church age the antichrist does not show up until revelation 6. but revelation 4 1 is really telling us in the scheme of things and in the outline of the revelation this is where the rapture of the church takes place we don't get raptured in the middle of the tribulation we don't get raptured at the end of the tribulation i'm astounded i can't understand why people just don't let doesn't let the bible interpret itself anybody that has the holy ghost can look into the scriptures and god starts to speak and puts everything in order but somehow people get all messed up one particular television evangelist whose name i won't mention he's come up with an idea that really what's going to take place is we're not getting raptured that the church is not going to get raptured at the beginning or the middle but it's going to be at the end and everybody's going to go up and get a u-turn in the sky and come back down ain't right ain't right uh-uh there's no u-turns are going to take place amen glory to the lord hallelujah blessed be the name what would be the benefit of that what would be the purpose of that just go up to heaven and turn around come back when we get to heaven honey we stay in there for a while but all this mess and corruption and thievery and when all of this murder and destruction and calamity and catastrophe is going on upon the earth we ain't going to be here to experience any of it because god has not appointed us to wrath but to obtain salvation by our lord jesus christ i wish you just make the devil real mad tonight by praising your hand and say i'm going up in the first resurrection hallelujah glory to the lord hallelujah we're getting ready to escape all of this mess that is going on amen so look at all the elements of revelation 4 1. every one of those elements the trumpet the door opened in heaven and the call to come up higher all of that is a part of what paul wrote in first thessalonians 4 and 16 where he tells us about the catching away for the lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout for the voice of the archangel and with the trump of god there it is the trump of god and the dead in christ will rise first then we which are alive and yet remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the lord in the air and forever shall we be with him so the call the command to come up higher that's what the command is in first thessalonians 4. come up higher glory to god hallelujah i've heard the lord say a lot of things but i'm waiting for that word to be said come up higher the door is going to open in heaven jesus is going to be there to say enter thou into the joys of the lord you've been faithful over a few things i'll make you ruler over many and the church said amen now the theme of this book go back to revelation we're going to look at it just a little bit closer tonight revelation the first chapter and in the first to the third verses the revelation of jesus christ which god gave unto him to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass and his sentence signified by his angel unto his servant john who bear record of the word of god and of the testimony of jesus christ and of all things he saw this gives us the theme the first verse of this chapter first verse of this book gives us the theme of the entire book it is the revelation of jesus christ like i said wednesday night there's a lot of prophetic events future events that are being described in this book but that's not what the book is about this book is not a crystal ball it's not just looking at the future it is a futuristic book but the whole theme and the purpose of it is to reveal jesus it is the revelation of jesus christ and the object of its communication is to show unto his servants everybody that's a child of god everybody is a servant of the lord and you're not ashamed of the gospel say a big amen tonight this book is designed to communicate to us events that are going to transpire which will reveal jesus in all of his glory and all of his majesty the manner of communication is he sent and signify it by his angel unto his servant john and we learn something about angels in this particular passage and we learn a lot about angels through the entire book in revelation 22 and 9 everybody go to the back of the book revelation last chapter of this book the 22nd chapter in the ninth verse go there with me if you found it say amen okay john does something that people would like to do right now people talk about a visitation of angels and i'm gonna tell you right now if an angel ever did visit you you'd faint you just faint dead away i'm not kidding you would just be overwhelmed and you would faint and here in the ninth verse john he in the eighth verse i john saw these things and heard them and when i had heard and seen i fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which showed me these things and there's one thing remember there was rebellion in heaven a third of the angels rebelled with lucifer well i'm going to get into that one of these days i am really going to get into that a third of the angels rebelled with lucifer and lucifer deceived them he sold them a bill of goods according to isaiah chapter 14. he merchandised things to a third of the angels that bought in to his rebellion and one thing that the devil wanted the number one thing the devil's always wanted is worship he's always wanted worship remember when the lord was tempted in the wilderness and satan took him up showed him the kingdoms of the earth and said all of this is mine i'll give it to you if you just bow down and worship me he's always wanted worship and those faithful angels know what happened to the devil and the third of the disloyal unfaithful ungodly angels when they worshipped someone else besides the king of glory they will not accept worship they will not they are afraid of that element and immediately when john wanted to worship the angel that showed him all of these things that angel forbid him from doing it but look what the angel says about himself in the ninth verse then saith thee unto me see thou do it not look at this for i am thy fellow servant and of thy brethren the prophets and of them which keeps the sayings of this book worship god hallelujah look at this look at this this thrills me an angel the angels they are fellow servants glory to the lord i'm grateful that we're sons and daughters of the most high no angel can have that claim glory to god they haven't been born again like you and i have been born again we've got a new nature come on somebody say amen we've been created in the image and the likeness of god and we have been transformed by the holy ghost and by the application of his blood to become his children we are his sons his daughters his family we are his body upon the earth we are the church triumphant we are the salt of the earth we are the light of this world hallelujah we're a city set on a hill that cannot be hit where the church that the gates of hell cannot prevail against and we have that distinction of being his servant but angels they find a link with us and say i am your fellow servant whoa hallelujah hallelujah which means my my efforts to expand the kingdom is not just confined to my little frail human abilities god has sent angels on assignment to help us in every effort because they're our fellow servants the angel of the lord encamps round about them that fear him and then he says i am of your brethren the prophets which means angels have a prophetic purpose just like god has a prophetic purpose for his church and he said i keep the sayings of this book worship god so the angels are just excited about the fulfillment of bible prophecy as we are and more than that they are helping the situation to bring about the fulfillment of bible prophecy in the name of jesus glory to the lord i feel holy ghost boldness coming on me right now i'm going to tell you there are angels that are loose in our country they are loose in our capital they are loose in our congress and we are about to see the results of what they've been doing under cover amen glory to the lord in the phillips translation of that particular passage here in revelation 22 it said to john to john's brethrens to the prophets and to those who keep the words of this book and he signified it which means let's go back to revelation 1 he signified that this angel signified all of this information all of this revelation to his servant john okay say the word signified with me that word signified is written there to convey that much of the message came through symbols and signs and i want to make this very plain if there there's many symbols and signs in the book of revelation but they all have a literal meaning behind them we're going to read about the dragon the dragon is a symbol the devil is the literal entity behind the dragon we're going to read about the woman we're going to read about the the harlot church and that that harlot is a symbol of what the religion is going to be during tribulation times so all of the message that is given in the revelation was communicated with symbols and signs but there is a literal meaning behind it and the blessing is to the church which reads and hears and obey the message now in the fourth verse john to the seven churches which are in asia grace be unto you and peace from him which is which was and which is to come and from the seven spirits which are before his throne and from jesus christ who is the faithful witness and the first begotten of the dead and the prince of the kings of the earth unto him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood glory to god isn't it wonderful john couldn't go five verses without talking about the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood oh how the devil hates to hear about the blood he hates to see anybody that is standing on the power and the life that god gives us through the shed blood of jesus he hates to hear songs about the blood he hates a church that sings about the blood he hates a church that preaches about the blood he hates a people that know the power of the blood of jesus come on somebody say amen oh hallelujah to the lamb and so these seven churches were in the roman province of asia in what is today turkey they were seven actual churches that existed in john's day as i've said they were chosen because of conditions that prevailed among them that would exist throughout individual churches throughout the church history and most importantly the internal conditions of these respective churches were ideally suited to portray seven distinct periods of church history got that everybody got that seven churches seven periods of church history seven churches seven periods of church history the greeting grace and peace was used generally in every church paul used this greeting much in his letters to believers and the source of grace and peace is amplified with the phrase him which is which was and which is to come which is which was and which is to come say that with me which is which was and which is to come this is the revelation of jesus that's who he is him who is and was and is to come to repeat it again before this passage is over before this chapter is finished he's which is which was and which is to come that is equivalent to the hebrew word for jehovah jehovah or yahweh means the self a revealing one it's yad hey vavhay yaday which means the self-revealing one the word jehovah means which is which was and which is to come i have used this scripture to totally confuse every jehovah witness that ever knocked on my door i said do you know who jesus is do you know who jehovah is they don't know who jehovah is but when i point this scripture out to them they don't have an answer they got so confused at my door i'll tell you what they did i'm just putting this in here they got so confused so confused people who have never darkened the door of our church they just got tired of them knocking on the door and so they just told them i'm a member of john parish's church he's my past that wasn't true they just did that to get rid of those folks but this scripture puts everything clear the god of the old testament is the god of the new testament hallelujah and the seven look at the and the seven spirits which are before his throne okay now here's here is a good illustration of how scripture interprets scripture okay how many spirits are before god's throne in this chapter or this verse seven okay compare the scripture everybody go with me to the book of first corinthians first corinthians chapter 12. okay let's second it's second corinthians chapter 12 i think yeah no it's first corinthians well it might be an ephesian no but it's first corinthians first corinthians chapter 12 all right are you there first corinthians chapter 12 look at the 13th verse first corinthians 12 and 13. this is an illustration of how scripture interprets scripture a lot of people would imagine a contradiction the bible never contradicts itself the bible explains itself one scripture interprets another here in the 13th verse for by one spirit are we all baptized into one body whether we be jews or gentiles whether we be bond to free and have been all made to drink it to one spirit how many spirits verse 13 how many how many one but in revelation chapter one and verse four you read of seven spirits is this a contradiction no this is an explanation there is one holy ghost who has seven distinct ministries there are nine gifts of this one holy ghost but there are seven distinct ministries of the holy ghost and here they are they are according to romans 8 15 the spirit of adoption the bible talks about the spirit of adoption it says whereby we cry we've not received the spirit of bondage to get into fear but we have received the spirit of adoption whereby we cry abba father it is a particular work of the holy ghost to adopt us into the family of god to make us legally god's children amen amen he's the spirit of adoption he's also the spirit of truth that's what jesus called him in john 16 and 13. he is the spirit of truth the holy ghost will never lead us into error or deception he will lead us into truth he'll take us back into the word and confirm it with signs following he is the spirit of truth he's also according to zechariah 12 and 10 the spirit of supplication that brings in our prayer language that brings in our prayer time that brings in the fact that through the holy ghost we know not what to pray for as we ought but the spirit maketh intercession within us with groanings that cannot be uttered the spirit of supplication if we're gonna have the manifestation of the fullness of the spirit we are going to follow the holy ghost into prayer he's the spirit of supplication in romans 1 4 he is the spirit of holiness it was the spirit of holiness jesus was declared the son of god according to the spirit of holiness glory to the lord i'm not in my soapbox tonight but i'm going to tell you this the lord is going to present to himself a glorious church and a holy church we are to be holy even as he is holy without holiness no man shall see the lord but what really is tremendous about this fact of holiness and moses was the first one to notice it and he spoke it by the spirit of god when the children of israel came through the waters of the red sea after the lord dried it up made a way where there was no way and destroyed the pursuing army of pharaoh in the red sea moses started to say he is glorious in holiness he is awesome in praises and he does wonders when the church gets holy again the church is going to have miracles again hallelujah he's the spirit of holiness he's also the spirit of life according to romans 8 and 2. it's the spirit of life the law of the spirit of life in christ jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death let me just quote the whole scripture there is no condemnation to them that are in christ jesus who walked not after the flesh but after the spirit for the law of the spirit of life in christ jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death the law of sin and death said you have to die you're accountable for your sins you're responsible for them and nothing can be done in order for you to escape the sin nature that you have but the law of the spirit of life in christ jesus overpowered the law of sin and death and through the new birth we are not what we used to be no longer sons and daughters of adam but sons and daughters of the most high god with a new nature new creation new creatures old things have passed away everything has become new and that's why we can say there's no condemnation to them that are in christ jesus because we've been born again we're adopted into the family of god we have a new nature come on somebody we got a new life we got a new word we got a new language we got a new mind we got a new spirit hallelujah and the law the spirit of life made all of that possible we're born of the spirit then in 1st peter 4 14 he is the spirit of glory my lord i got to pull back can i feel preach coming on tonight he's the spirit of glory that particular scripture is talking about people that are persecuted and people that are approached for the name of christ and it says happy are ye and those times oh god help us it's not talking about people being masochistic and just gravitating toward tough times i don't want to be around those people that just glory and just just terrible things and afflictions and and and my goodness you you you you just don't ask those kind of folks how they are because you'll get a organ recital every organ and their body's hurting you know you get you get all that kind of stuff but but you see the scripture is talking about the fact that when the enemy really hits us hard the holy ghost is going to counter-attack and the spirit of glory is going to come instead of us having him in affliction the spirit of glory is going to come he said happy are ye for the spirit of god and of glory rest upon you hey man it's not some periodic blessing and it's not just a sunday night shout it is god said i am going to rest upon you i'm going to dwell with you there is something that's gonna stay on you and when you go to work and when you go shopping and when you face any kind of situation and experience the spirit of glory is still right there with you to give you everybody say the word happy happy happy happy happy's different from joy hello the joy of the lord is our strength not the happiness of the lord but the happiness comes with a spirit of glory happy means something happened amen we got joy whether anything is happening or not we've got the joy of the lord even when there is adversity and stress and and negative things are going on the joy of the lord is our strength it's that joy and that strength that makes us more than a conqueror amen but the spirit of glory gets on us and he makes things happen he brings the glory to god so when you are really getting hit hard and we are under pressure as the people of god right now but i'm telling you the spirit of glory is resting upon us and god is about to do some things we are about to see some things happen hallelujah and that happening is going to give us some glorious shout and joy and rejoicing amen what i'm trying to tell you in the old vernacular is this we're just about to get happy we've been through 18 months of hell on earth but we're just about to get happy we got pressure coming to us from all sides but we're going to get happy because of the spirit of glory and the last in hebrews 10 and 29 speaks of the spirit of grace grace grace is not a license for sin grace is not something that people have convoluted and made it out to be that you just you're a sinner you can't help but sin and so grace is going to cover it all that is not what the bible teaches it teaches being born again the grace of god his divine favor amen his grace gives us the power to live right his grace gives us the power to do right and it surrounds us with favor favor because you're a child of god the devil's going to pick on you but when you've got the favor of the lord everything he does is going to backfire the spirit of grace so those are the seven spirits of god and make sure you keep them in your mind when you're reading through the revelation okay the lord is called in the fifth verse who is the faithful witness the first begotten of the dead and the prince of the kings of the earth okay that word prince there in the in the original language is ruler he's the ruler of the kings so here's the three things that the scripture reveals the lord to be in the first chapter he's the faithful witness he's the first begotten of the dead he's the ruler of the kings three things that we've got to know about messiah he's prophet he's priest and he's king he's the prophet the priest and the king and actually what is being done in this verse is that prophet priest and king is being amplified he's the faithful witness that's the prophet is he is the first begotten of the dead he's the priest glory to the lord the priest was over the sacrifice he's the high priest touched with the feelings of our infirmities and he's the ruler of the kings of the earth and i want to bear down on that tonight he is the ruler of the kings of the earth put me on your prayer list i have this problem i screamed at the television when i was channel flipping the other day and the man who claims to be president was talking to the u.n i was screaming so loud so wonder you didn't hear me wherever you were it was a globalist speech he said there was another pandemic coming how does he know that there's another pandemic coming is he planning on it and talked about the nations of the world working together and climate change and all of those things and all the delegates that were there from all over the world i wanted to tell them jesus is the ruler of the kings of the earth he'll set one up and he'll pull one back down he's the ruler and every knee is going to bow to him one day every tongue is going to confess to him one day that he is lord to the glory of god the father hallelujah well these are titles of the lord as prophet priest and king and john takes the opportunity to magnify the lord and he says this unto him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood now the greek language has some different tenses than what we have and the tenses there's different tenses that are used in this one sentence when the word says he loved us that's an ever-present tense it's gonna stay that way it's not going to be changed he loved us he still loves us he left us enough to come and save us he loved us enough to convict us he loved us enough to take our sins and nail them to his cross he loved us enough to spoil principalities and powers and made us show of them openly triumphing gloriously over them in it coming out of the tomb on the third day with the keys of death and hell in his hand he loved us he is our high priest who is touched with the feelings of our infirmities his loving kindness is better than life and thus will i bless him while i live i will lift up my hands in his name then the rest of this verse he washed us he washed us in the original language it really means this it's the heiress tense it means it's complete and it means he loosed us he freed us it's complete hallelujah glory to the name of the lord all the past sins that have been committed that you have repented about you have been loosed from those sins you've been loosed from that guilt you've been loosed from that condemnation and you've been loosed from the consequences amen david said it this way in in the 100 100 yeah 100 second zone he had he's he said well in 100 seconds psalm he's um if i get it right here in just a minute my ginkgo biloba is is going out on me but he said he's not dealt with us after our sins nor has he rewarded us according to our iniquities but as the heavens are higher than the earth so far is his mercy toward them that love him and i love him tonight his love has been shed abroad in my heart by the holy ghost glory to the lord we depend on the lord for our daily bread and god has got great things in store for us but if he never did anything else for us he has washed us in his own blood and written our name in the lamb's book of life and spared us from a devil's hell an eternity in the lake of fire oh how great and merciful has our god been toward us it's a completed wow [Applause] and he made us okay here's how the king james says kings he hath made his kings and priests and that really is is a mistranslation because it's not that he has made his kings not that some of us are kings and some of us are priests but the real meaning in the original greek is this he's made us a kingdom of priests we're a kingdom of priests unto our god we got throne rights because we're a kingdom of priests we can boldly go to the throne of grace because we are a kingdom of priests whoa we can get to the presence of god because we are a kingdom of priests and the theme of the entire book okay the theme in the entire book is in the seventh verse and this needs to be explained behold he cometh with clouds and every eye shall see him and they also which pierced him and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him even so amen that verse of scripture announces a public revelation of jesus this is not a rapture scripture this is a scripture that's going to be fulfilled at the end of the tribulation when the lord returns that's when every eye is going to see him and and they that they pierced him are going to look on him and every eye shall see him and they also which pierced him and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him it's going to be at the end of the tribulation the rapture is going to be a secret a secret private event but the second coming of the lord to the earth with his saints that you read about in matthew 24 revelation 19 jude 14 that is going to be a public revelation of jesus and i'm praying even so come quickly jesus reveals himself to be the jehovah of israel setting his seal upon the revelation i am the alpha and omega the beginning and the ending saith the lord which is which was and which is to come the almighty glory to the lord so somewhere in the margin of your bible put this which is which was which is to come that's jehovah the almighty that's el shaddai he's jehovah he's el shaddai he's god manifested in the flesh whoa you know what el shaddai means the god who is more than enough that's who jesus is he's more than enough you got a problem he's more than enough you got a situation he's more than enough you got a symptom he's more than enough amen he's alpha omega he is the beginning and he is the ending and then john identifies himself in the ninth verse i like the way that john does it he doesn't call himself in a he didn't brag about his position he doesn't give himself a title he just says i'm your brother i'm your companion in tribulation in the kingdom and patience of jesus christ i was in the aisle that is called patmos for the word of god and for the testimony of jesus christ and i was in the spirit on the lord's day thank you lord he's got pressure he's got problems he's been persecuted he's been mistreated but he's still in the spirit of the lord you have to wait till everything is perfect before you feel freedom to worship we are to come before the lord enter his gates with thanksgiving get in his courts with praise cast our care upon him because he cares for us and praise him and worship him and lift him up and magnify him that'll get us in the spirit on the lord's day can you say amen hallelujah there's no telling what god will speak to us if we get in the spirit on the lord's day there's no telling what kind of touch we'll receive if we're getting the spirit on the lord's day that's what god is looking for the father is seeking such who will worship him in spirit and in truth and everybody said amen so from the 11th to the 18th verse jesus is walking among the candlesticks and the candlesticks represent the churches like the menorah how many have you ever seen a jewish menorah it's got seven branches to it and there's seven branches that were in the menorah that was in the tabernacle and later in the temple and john who had walked with the lord during his earthly ministry now sees him officiating as the high priest and there are eight similes that are given to us in this particular passage he said i turned to see the voice in the 12th verse that spake with me and being turned i saw seven golden candlesticks in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the son of man clothed to the garment down to the foot and gird about the paps with a golden girdle his head and his hairs were white black wool as white as snow and his eyes were as a flame of fire and his feet like undefined brass is that they burned in a furnace and his voice is the sound of many waters and he had in his right hand seven stars and out of them out of his mouth when a sharp two-edged sword and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength he said one like unto the son of man he again again he's emphasizing this is god manifested in the flesh and although that jesus is deity he still identifies himself with man as man his garments picture the robes of the high priest the golden girdle refers to his encircling royalty his head and his hair were white like wool as white as snow if you read in daniel 7 9 it's a very similar vision almost identical was given to daniel and he saw the ancient of days with his hair white like wool his white hair depicts wisdom glory to the god of heaven you see that's why many european countries have their judges wear white wigs to convey wisdom but you can't get wisdom out of a wig his eyes were as a flame of fire burning all penetrating intelligence nothing's hid from his eyes penetrating eyes he sees through everything nothing can be hid from him his feet look undefined brass brass symbolizes judgment in scripture and brass that glows with furnace fire of judgment his voice is at the sound of many waters the awesome power of his words everybody just quickly turn to the 29th psalm and the fourth verse psalm 29 and verse 4 listen to this scripture about the voice of the lord psalm 29 and verse 4 said the voice of the lord is powerful the voice of the lord is full of majesty the voice of the lord breaketh the cedars yea the lord break at the cedars of lebanon he maketh them also to skip like a calf lebanon and cerrone like a young unicorn the voice of the lord divideth the flames of fire the voice of the lord shaketh the wilderness the lord shaketh the wilderness of kadish the voice of the lord maketh the hinds to calve and discovereth the forest and in his temple doth everyone speak of his glory the lord said upon the flood yea the lord sitteth king forever the lord will give strength unto his people the lord will bless his people with peace all of that majesty and power is released when god starts speaking his voice was like the voice of many waters his countenance was as the sun shining in his strength because he's the light of the world the scripture said in malachi 4 and 2 upon those that fear his name shall the son of righteousness arise with healing in his wings and he holds seven stars in his right hand those stars are the messengers of the churches star is a term that is equated with an angel in isaiah 14 and 13 and job 38 and verse 7. so you see god has angels designated for church periods and churches and saints we're not by ourself there are more that be with us than be with them and out of his mouth when a sharp two-edged sword you see in this particular passage the scripture's talking about the final word goes out of his mouth he has the final word and it penetrates it's sharp sharper than any two-edged sword of man and john said when i saw him i fell at his feet as dead now that's something that really explains a phenomenon that we see quite often in this church when people fall out under the power of god they're doing exactly what john did when he was in the spirit on the lord's day and got a vision of jesus he was overpowered by the presence of the most high and when you are in his presence it is so overpowering the presence of god can be so so intense that you just can't stand up you see if the president i'm not talking about the one that's in the oval office but the real one if he walked in the room everybody would stand up but when jesus walks in the room everybody falls down amen daniel had the very same experience in daniel 10 and 8 he fell as a dead man even the saints in heaven fall before the throne look at revelation go back to revelation 4 and verse 10. revelation 4 and verse 10. look at this scripture hallelujah glory to god four and verse 10 says this the four and 20 elders they typify the redeemed in both old and new testament times they fall down before him they fall down before him that set on the throne and worship him that liveth forever and ever and cast their crowns before the throne saying thou art worthy o lord to receive glory and honor and power for thou hast created all things and for thy pleasure they are and were created when his presence is manifested it is overpowering and the church said amen now when we get to revelation 4 and revelation 5 the rest of revelation 4 deals with the first things that we're going to experience after we're raptured okay and what happens in the revelation is for the lack of a better word it's a split screen we see things in heaven and we see things in earth so what's being described activities in heaven and activities on the earth are described and they happen simultaneously but once we get raptured the first thing that we're going to do is get before the throne and we're going to worship the lord as creator in revelation 4. then in revelation 5 we're going to worship him as redeemer first creator then redeemer as creator we're going to cast crowns before his feet as a redeemer we're going to sing the song that we're going to sing is you're worthy to receive glory and honor and power for you've redeemed us by your blood out of all kindred tongues peoples and nations and we shall reign with you upon the earth hallelujah glory to we're getting a preview of stuff listen we might as well rehearse right now what we're going to do in heaven by lifting holy hands without wrath and without doubting and giving the lord praise and honor and glory why don't you just stand up right now and lift up both your hands and just magnify the lord with me and let us exalt his name together he is worthy of all praise he is worthy of all honor he is worthy of all glory we lift you up lord we thank you for the blessings of our god that maketh rich and you added no sorrow with it we praise you that you preserve us lord in evil times and in the midst of all the peril and danger that surrounds us you have prepared a table for us in the presence of our enemies and you make our cup to run over you're the good shepherd you're the great shepherd and we worship you with all that is within us and acknowledge that we are the sheep of your pastor and we pray today that you would fill us with resurrection power and preparation for that day when we appear before your throne and cast our crowns at your feet in the name of jesus hallelujah fill us with heaven's power fill us with heaven's praise fill us with heaven's environment and atmosphere tonight in the name of jesus king of glory in the name of him which is which was and which is to come the almighty and we worship you with all that's in us and everybody said together amen come on and give the lord a real good hand praise tonight oh hallelujah glory to your name glory to your name amen so here's what we're gonna do next wednesday night we're gonna get revelation two and three real
