The Prophet Jeremiah Part 2

We are going to pray and get started. So let's pray Lord Jesus as we open up your word. We pray and that your Holy Spirit that you have given us in the waters of baptism. You have indwelled us with that the spirit of life would help us to rightly understand your word so that we may believe Confess and do according to what you have revealed there all of this to your glory.

We ask in Jesus name. Amen. Okay, real quick. I'm gonna check the chat. To see if I missed any questions because you're always welcome. By the way questions are encouraged. They are not discouraged. I'm not one of these pastors.

Like if you ask a question that it's like one of those high inside fastballs, you know I I don't sit there and go touch not God's anointed, you know, just you know, I I'm just a local parish pastor. It's you know, you know, you could ask anything you want.

I mean literally anything and you know, even if it's a high inside fastball. That's quite that's quite a right. We'll just figure out what to do with it. And if I don't know the answer to the question, then I'm going to say I don't know the answer to the question.

Because that's how that worked. Hey somebody somebody complimented my photos. Thank you Bruce oh, man. I saw that challenge accepted. See, yeah, it doesn't apply to you Bruce. Come on. You're special, you know, so okay last week we began Formally our study of the book of Jeremiah and I noted last week that Jeremiah is in the types and shadows one of these books that shows us if you would what the apostasy Looks like what the apostasy is going to look like.

And so, you know, and this is the story of Judah. Judah has completely rebelled against God. They've gone into idolatry. Ranked sexual immorality. There is no justice murder and violence are running amok and Basically, you know, it's it's like the world since Kovat, you know, it's it's all the same.

So I Saw somebody somebody on social media, you know, I follow this they said that normal isn't coming back. But Jesus is that I thought that was the excellent. We're starting to despair down it's starting to despair.

But all of that being said I have to warn you and that is is that the opening chapters of Jeremiah are rated. Our NC 7 they're they're rated way out there. Okay, if you know Netflix, I don't think would play this, you know.

It's it's you know, this is this is some pretty strong language and you'll note in the sermon today. We noted that. That that in the sermon today Christ takes sin very seriously. He doesn't he doesn't treat it lightly like the false prophets and so God here in our text Through the Prophet Jeremiah is going to address sin and idolatry and he's going to use language in regards to idolatry that is.

Well, he's gonna liken it to sexual immorality which is. You know, it's really strong stuff. So we're gonna hear words that we don't normally hear in polite company and you're gonna note these words are coming from God himself.

Now real quick Matthew asked a question. You said that Jesus went to hell. Is that a reference to the verse about him ministering to the spirits in prison? Yes. There's two passages in particular that that reference Christ's descent into and we can say Hades or we can say Shaol.

But Jesus didn't go to hell in order to suffer or he didn't go to shale to suffer. He went there to proclaim his victory over this over the people who persisted in sin and unbelief prior to the flood and then he also.

You know, so he went there to proclaim his victory. He spoke with the prisons and then on it at his ascension at Christ's ascension. He takes all of the believers out of Abraham's bosom and now the the intermediate state for for all who believe in God is Not Shaol but the actual heavenly kingdom so we will upon our deaths as Christians we will be with Christ in heaven.

Whereas this Old Testament Saints the believers in the in the Messiah who would come. They their intermediate state was in Shaol in the compartment of Shale. That's called Abraham's bosom, which is now empty.

So that that that's a reference to that. All right. So let's let's now get into Jeremiah chapter 1 the words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah one of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin in whom the word of Yahweh came in the days of Josiah the son of Ammon the king of Judah in the 13th year of his reign.

Now if you remember last week we did prep work and we read out the account of Manasseh of also of Josiah and you'll note that it was in the 18th year of the reign of Josiah. That they discovered the Bible and they didn't even know they had one.

Okay, and and the temple had had really gone into rank rank apostasy apostasy being rebellion. We talked about the fertility religions and the implications regarding them. The and so they had put in a Shira pole inside the temple and The scholars on this they they speculate that that a Shira was put it behind the curtain in the Holy of Holies as if Yahweh Needed a wife.

Which is just weird. And apparently he wasn't wasn't keen on her. You know was she wasn't his type. She was a little stiff a little wooden if you would but you know, and not only that she doesn't exist.

This is all a demonic thing. So so the word of the Lord come the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah and the son of Ammon the king of Judah now a little bit of a note here the word of Yahweh the word of the Lord Came so in our Hebrew to bar Elohim.

When we read how the word of the Lord comes to people Christ if you remember the in your opening passage of the gospel of John John chapter 1 In the beginning was the word the word was with God and the word was God.

There's there's some there's overlap in these concepts and you'll note that when the word of the Lord comes to the prophets of the Old Testament oftentimes they describe the experience in ways that really strongly suggest that this was a visible appearance of the pre-incarnate Christ and so Jesus is the word.

You know, that's that's who he is so when you read the Old Testament prophets and especially like Isaiah and Here Jeremiah and talking about the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah. This isn't this you'll know that doesn't say anything here about Jeremiah paying $400 to Jennifer LeClaire in order to get a prophetic activation.

Okay, nothing of that nonsense instead. This is An appearance of Christ. Christ is the word so to describe Jesus as the the debar Elohim the word of the Lord that's not out of bounds of Scripture and really legitimately the the book of John Chapter 1, you know and RK and ha lagas kaya lagas and prostante.

Oh, Jesus is the lagas and the lagas became flesh. So the word of Yahweh came in the days of Josiah the son of Ammon the king of Judah in the 13th year of his reign so this is before they discovered the Bible it came also in the days of Jehoiachin the son of the son of Josiah the king of Judah and until the end of the 11th year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah the king of Judah until the captivity captivity of Jerusalem in the fifth month.

Important you'll note this is grounded in history. We could we could figure out the exact dates of when it is that Jeremiah was prophesying. This is not often the misty times of sands of time of mythology.

This is grounded in actual human history. Important to note that all right. So now the word of Yahweh came to me saying before I formed you in the womb now, by the way. This is this is the passage that every every seeker driven.

You're scratching your tickler will Will read out of context. Okay before before I formed you in the womb I knew you before you were born. I Consecrated you and I appointed you a prophet to the nations now a little bit of a note here.

And that is is that when when somebody scratches ears using this text. Oftentimes, there's a lot of truth mixed with error. All right because you'll note that the the the way my my mentor put it the emphasis is always on the wrong side label when it comes To these folks the the emphasis is on you.

And so the way this goes is that oh look how Amazing you are you see God knew you because you're so amazing. You're so special. You're the bees knees. You're the apple of God's eye you you you you you and you sit there and go.

Yeah, aren't I great? Yeah. Okay, but I would remind everybody here that we are no different than Jeremiah when it comes to this and that Is is that the good works that God had prepared in advance for Jeremiah to do?

He was going to do them. And so the good works that Jeremiah does he does as a prophet of God called by God and Jeremiah is here to what? Serve us. The the New Testament is explicitly clear that the prophets of the Old Testament.

They were serving us. So if we're gonna get this right, okay. Let me give you a proper cross-reference here in Ephesians chapter 2. Oops, I spelled it wrong. What do you mean? I can't I wish this thing would just read my mind and not make me type things correctly.

And no, I don't. Yeah, it's starting to creep me out that like I'm getting targeted ads for stuff that I talk about in my home. But I'm not searching for. I think I think it's time to to get rid of Alexa, you know.

She's starting to creep me out. All right. Anyway, here's here's our text. I'll read that the end portion of it for by grace. You have been saved through faith. This is not your own doing. It is the gift of God.

It is not the result of work so that no one may boast and then watch these words. We are his the his there is God. We are God's workmanship. Created in Christ Jesus for good works and watch the next part which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

So Here's the next question. What's a good work? All right, Ephesians 5 and 6 kind of start laying all this out. You know a good work is the things you do in your vocations. So, you know, let's let's make this clear that Jeremiah's gig.

Okay, the the good works that God called him to there was nothing sexy about his job and I mean this Jeremiah is basically told in the in the verses that follow listen. I'm gonna put my words in your mouth and no one's gonna believe you.

No one's gonna listen to you. They're gonna hate you. They're gonna despise you. So don't be afraid. Yeah, what a great job you you want me to preach your word God and everyone's gonna hate me because of it.

You betcha. Okay, you're gonna note that when God sends his word. Sometimes his word softens hearts and sometimes his word is sent to harden hearts. That's his prerogative not and and the thing is is that as a pastor it always the temptation as a pastor.

Is to sit there and go if I just didn't have to preach these hard edges of the Bible. We could probably grow this place, you know, you know people would that's always the temptation. It's like, you know.

And told people like, you know how to get their kids to behave and stuff. We might be able to track some younger families, you know. And of course, you know. If we just got rid of the liturgy and and those hymns and we you know, we started singing songs.

That didn't say anything, you know who Jesus who you know, whatever, you know, that's that's a Hillsong song, right? Anyway, oh, sorry Bethel my apologies. Yeah, and and there's an omen there too, but the.

You get the idea but but here here's the job of pastor preach the word in season and out of season. Are there seasons when it's out of season to preach the Word of God? Yes, okay, just like there's rabbit season and duck season.

There's Bible season and sometimes it's not Bible season. Okay, what do you do when it's not Bible season? You keep preaching the word see unlike rabbit season. You can't you can't kill rabbits unless it's rabbit season.

Well, you have to preach the word even when the Bible's out of season. And so you'll note then that we can say here that there's a cross reference in the New Testament. Where we have all had our good works prepared in advance for us to do in Christ.

Same with Jeremiah. So if you want to talk about the overlap in that sense regarding vocation then it's important then that you recognize that all the good works that you're doing as a Husband as a wife as a father as a mother as an employee as an employer you know it all of those things those are the very good works that Christ has called you to and Before you were born God knew you and he prepared those works for you to do in advance full stop, so Let's make this clear.

It is a good work to be called a prophet of God and it is a good work to change diapers. They are both good works in God's sight. So and you know and believe me I think there's times as you'll see this as we're working through this book I think there were times that Jeremiah would have preferred to be changing diapers okay, because What you what he was made to endure.

Okay is nothing than wiping up poop. I'm just telling you that without that wiping up poop would be an easy thing. So, all right so then I said ah Lord God. Behold, I do not know how to speak. I am only a youth.

But Yahweh said to me do not say I am only a youth. For to all to whom I send you you shall go and whatever I command you you shall speak. Do not be afraid of them for I am with you to deliver you declares Yahweh.

See these are ominous words right here. Okay. Okay. Now number one note that Jeremiah is inspired. These are the words of God. These are not Jeremiah's opinions. And so what he's written down for us. These are the very words of God and then he says, oh and by the way, don't be afraid of them I'm gonna be with you to deliver you declares Yahweh.

Wait, what you're gonna do what I'm gonna deliver you from what? All you'll find out. Yay. What a great gig, okay. Yeah, and you'll note that Yahweh isn't subject today's OSHA standards when it comes to you know employees, you know.

Things like that the retirement plan by the way in God's kingdom is amazing. But until then things can be a little sketchy and difficult. Okay, so. So then Yahweh put out his hand. Nope here the Word of the Lord came to me.

Yahweh put out is what? His hand. Okay, now we see what's going on here. So the the whacker doodle, you know, so there's cat Kerr. She's out there battling Hurricane Ida right now. You Know the Word Lord has come to me and I command and decree and declare Ida I'm gonna send you back out into Into the Gulf of Mexico and I command the middle bars to decline right now.

This is nonsense, right? Yeah. Yeah, so you'll note then there's there's there's very much this idea that when the Word of the Lord comes to somebody There's something going on people can see this. They can see it.

All right, Jeremiah says the Lord put out his hand. Wait, what? Pre-incarnate appearance of Christ. He touched my mouth and Yahweh said to me behold I have put my words in your mouth. See I have set you this day over nations over kingdoms.

To pluck up and to break down to destroy and to overthrow to build and to plant. And you'll note that Daniel was reading the Prophet Jeremiah in exile, you know when we talk about books of the Bible you'll note that when the Children of Israel go into exile Jeremiah is the freshest.

You're the freshest of the books of the Bible. It just hot off the press at that time and Daniel was reading it and so you'll note there's there's negative things that God's Word is going to do and there's Positive things that God's Word is going to do and the Lord touched his mouth.

And so again, I would note that the implications here in Jeremiah 1 are very clear. The Bible is the Word of God. It doesn't contain the Word of God. When you hear people out there trying to make a distinction between the Bible and the Word of God.

They are they're pulling a fast one on you. This this text itself Screams all the words that we are going to read in all of the chapters of Jeremiah just like the rest of the Bible. These are the words of God.

Okay, Stephen says Alexa. Well, it's not just Alexa. Your phone's gonna do it, too. No. It's time for me to go old school, you know, I think I'm gonna start learning how to send smoke signals anyway. All right, let's see here if you stop talking about the law you can grow the congregation but never the church.

That's a good distinction Bruce that that's a really good distinction. Yeah. Yeah, so if I if I stop preaching law and gospel, I I I can grow a Congregation but not the church. That's a great point. Yeah.

Yeah, and by the way, you know, I grow weeds really well, you know, so I'm gifted in that. All right continuing on so the Word of Yahweh then came to me saying Jeremiah. What do you see I said? Well I see an almond branch and then Yahweh said to me you've seen well for I am watching over my word to Perform it now a little bit of a note here.

I want you to consider the the consider the implications of what's being said here because When we talk about in our day and age, there are a lot of people out there who claim to be prophets. But what they end up doing is saying things are going to happen and they don't happen.

And so if you remember after the debacle of 2020 and all the prophets, you know claiming that Trump is going to be reelected and then they doubled and tripled. And quadrupled and quintupled and sextupled and whatever number tuples after that.

They just toppled and toppled away. You know all claiming that Trump was going to be put back in office. He was going to be put back in office in February and then March and then April then August and now we're on the eve of September and all this kind of stuff you'll note that God never gives a word and It doesn't come to pass.

This text says you always said to me you've seen well I am watching over my word to perform it. God God his word always accomplishes the thing for which he sent it if God says something's going to happen.

It's going to happen if he says that it's going to. You're gonna be able to grow palm trees in Oslo, Minnesota. You're gonna be able to grow palm trees in Oslo, Minnesota as crazy as that sounds. Global warming.

Yeah, that's right. I'm looking forward to it, you know. When when when North Dakota becomes a tropical region? Yes. Ah, yeah. So I might lose some weight and engage in some sunbathing or something. I I don't know but.

Well now that you put it that way. All right. You are a sick man doing. He's just said he's looking forward to the return of 30 below. Yeah, it will be a little cooler. That's for sure. Yeah. All right.

So the word of the Lord then came to me a second time saying what do you see? I said I see a boiling pot facing away from the north. Then Yahweh said to me out of the north disaster shall be let loose upon all the inhabitants of the land.

For behold, I am calling all the tribes of the kingdoms of the north declares Yahweh. And they shall come and everyone shall set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem. Against all its walls all around and against all the cities of Judah and I will declare my judgments against them.

For all their evil in forsaking me. They have made offerings to other gods and they worship the works of their own hands. But you dress yourself for work arise and say to them everything that I command you do not be dismayed by them lest I dismay you before them and and I behold I Make you this day a fortified city an iron pillar and bronze walls against the whole land.

Against the kings of Judah its officials its priests and the people of the land and they will fight against you. But they shall not prevail against you for I am with you declares Yahweh to deliver you.

This is not a fun gig. All right. He's God sending him giving him words and people are going to fight against Jeremiah. And you'll see that and that Jeremiah will be made to suffer horribly horribly, and again he is the prop last of the prophets before God acts in judgment and.

The apostasy of Judah is a type and shadow of the apostasy within the visible church before the return of Christ. There's just no doubt about it. Let me remind you again. What scripture says in this regard?

Kind of two different places. Second Thessalonians Chapter 2. Hang on. I gotta take a swig of coffee here. It doesn't quite have the rush that Red Bull does but I think if I had Red Bull I get I go into a cardiac arrest.

All right. Let's see here. All right. So now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him. We ask you brothers not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed either by a spirit or a spoken word to the effect to the Or a letter seeming to be from us to the effect that the day of the Lord has already come.

Let no one deceive you in any way for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first. Always worth noting here. Hey. Apostasia the apostasy so if you've ever heard somebody say I've heard that there is a prophecy about a great apostasy.

This is the pet. This is the text. It's the apostasy. It's the rebellion and here's the thing. Every single one of us because scripture is clear. We're born dead in trespasses and sins. We are born and we are hostile to God the mind that is set on the flesh.

It cannot please God nor will it because a mind that set on the flesh is hostile to God. Scripture says That the apostasy is not out there among the unbelieving world. And I in fact, I kind of I'm I'm chastened by CS Lewis in this regard.

It I don't think it's right to call the world as we know it now a pagan. Pagans actually are closer to being Christians than the many of people in the world today pagans at least have a worldview that that God Exists or that there's consequences of bad behavior and things like this.

Pagans are more moral than the people that that are out there today in their postmodern atheism it's just it's so all that being said the rebellion that is being prophesied here is in the Church. Otherwise, it doesn't make any sense.

It makes absolutely zero sense to talk about an upcoming apostasy and That apostasy somehow being you know tantamount to how the world is operating. The world is all is already dead in trespasses and sins hostile to God.

This is talking about an open rebellion against God within the visible church. And that's what Christ describes and let me let me give you a little bit more now. We'll take a look again at the words of Christ.

So that day the day Lord will not come unless the rebellion comes first. The man of lawlessness is revealed the son of destruction. Who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called God or object of worship so that he takes his seat in the temple of God?

Proclaiming himself to be God. All right, and temple of God here is not referring to you know. Third temple built in Jerusalem. That's not what this is referring to in Paul's theology. The temple of God is the church we are the temple of God and so we're talking about within the visible church that they're.

Somebody exalts himself even above Christ and above God declaring himself to be God within the visible church. You know, and that's that's a that's that's a stark idea. So note then the concept of apostasy the apostasy is great in in the New Testament and it's explicitly taught by Christ.

Regarding the the end of days in Matthew 24, this is the Olivet Discourse. Jesus left the temple was going away when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. And he answered them you see all of these do you not truly I say to you there will not be left here one stone Upon another that will not be thrown down.

Now in the in in the disciples way of thinking wait, the temple is going to be gone. Well, I mean there's no forgiveness of sins. What are we going to do? That's got to be the end of the world. So they asked kind of a weird question and they asked two different things in one question.

So as he sat on the Mount of Olives disciples came to him privately saying tell us When will these things be and what will be the sign of your coming and the end of the age? Well note here. When will these things be?

When will the temple be thrown down and when will be your coming in the end of the age? Disciples just kind of all throw it all together in one big pot. All right. Well, the temple was destroyed in 70 AD and we're still waiting for Jesus to return but note here that Christ doesn't sit there.

No, no, no. No, you just you don't get you don't get what's going on. Christ just goes kind of goes with it and Uses the destruction of the temple as type and shadow of his return at the end of the age.

So you have themes that are interwoven together and you have explicit prophecies in the Olivet discourse that pertain To the end of the world and Christ's return as well as prophecies that are interwoven that pertain only to 70 AD and and the destruction of the temple which then Jesus is using kind of figuratively in type and shadow of.

What what's gonna happen at the end of the age? So Christ's first words and in the ancient world first thing you say is the most important one all the rest are sub See not one. No one leads you astray.

Many will come in my name. Whose name are they coming in in Jesus's name? Let that sink in for a second. Not some not a few many. Many people are going to come in my name. Where's the only place where people are received in the name of Jesus?

The church. If I show up at the local synagogue in Grand Forks and say I'm here in the name of Jesus. They'd call the police and accuse me of some kind of religious hate crime. All right. We're not welcome at the at the mosques.

We're not welcome at the synagogues. So when somebody comes in the name of Christ, they're coming to us from what you know, where are they coming to us at? In the church. Right. Many will come in my name saying I am the Christ or you say I am in and I am an anointed one.

And they will lead many astray. That's a bummer. Okay. Not some many and you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. Do not be alarmed. This must take place. The end is not yet nation will rise against nation.

Kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines earthquakes in various places. All of these are but the beginning of birth pains. They will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death. Lovely and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake.

Now a little bit of a note here. Note then that the church In preaching the gospel and proclaiming the truth of God's Word proclaiming repentance and the forgiveness of sins. In the name of Christ in the days immediately before Jesus.

They are acting prophetically like Jeremiah in this sense we have words given to us by God and we are to keep preaching them even if everybody hates us and God promised Jeremiah that you know, he would be protected.

Jesus says to us. Buckle up. You're gonna be put to death and you're gonna be hated. Okay, so when we are hated and despised when people are in our face and yelling at us and trying to correct us and and Well slandering us and all saying all kinds of manner of evil against us when we preach the truth of Scripture In of all places the church.

Okay Christ told us this is what we should expect. Jeremiah experienced it as well, but Jeremiah was protected. All right, then many will fall away. Fall away fall away from what? Christianity. Okay, there's gonna be a great falling away.

They will betray one another and they will hate one another. Hmm. Many false prophets will arise not some and they will lead many astray not some. This is Jesus's picture greater picture if you would of the apostasy than you can imagine.

So because lawlessness will be increased the love of many will grow cold. The one who endures to the end will be saved. How does one endure? I always like pointing out that prophetic band journey and their song don't stop believing.

That's that's that's the answer to the question. All right. I do not have the voice of Steve Perry. So I will not even try. Okay, but you get the idea Don't stop believing so because lawlessness will increase the love of many will grow cold and this is the temptation right now one of the things I've noted and I talked about this in the Aletheia services yesterday is that There's so much rancor right now as it relates to governmental policies pertaining to kovat that you have people now visibly within the Christian Church who are making whether or not you get vaccinated the test of true orthodoxy and There there are people out there on the internet claiming that if you get vaccinated that the vaccine is the mark of the beast.

So if you're vaccinated you they consider you they don't even consider you to be a Christian you are you know, you're going to hell and that's just nuts and the rancor and the anger and the Just vitriol of their of the rhetoric both on the right and the left on this.

It's it's off the chain it's it's terrible and what's what's awful is is that all of the stresses the anxiety and the politicians at the weaponizing that There's a better word the weaponizing of kovat has resulted in Christians hating each other.

Absolutely hating each other it's it's wrong on so many levels the one who endures to the end will be saved and the gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations and Then the end will come.

I'm gonna fast-forward just a little bit and Again Christ says if anyone says look, here's the Christ or there is don't believe it for many false Christ. And I would note pseudo Christi here. That it doesn't have the definite article false Christ here Christos is an anointed one.

So I did a recent episode of fighting for the faith and also it is issues, etc. And we pointed out where somebody claiming to have special anointings today. That they that they fall into this category of pseudo Christi.

All right. Yes, sir. Yeah, right. That's a good point. Yeah Dwayne Cleveland said that he hasn't known his Bible says if you have to be told that the Messiah is here. The Christ is here. He's not right.

Yeah, that's that's kind of the point, right? So many false Christ false many false Christ false prophets will arise and Here's the part that we have to watch out for because it's coming. They will perform great signs and wonders second Thessalonians talks about pseudo signs pseudoscience pseudo signs and pseudo wonders.

But Christ here says in the days immediately before his return these false Christ and false prophets Would be able to perform great signs and wonders in the book of Revelation makes it clear what those are.

One in particular is the ability to call down fire from heaven. All right, so it's this is all part of the great apostasy. So I Let's kind of put this together. I am NOT a prophet nor am I the son of a prophet?

I am just a good researcher and I'm able to connect together Data points when it comes to trends, which is how this works. So it is not. It is not outside of reality to see how this is going to go down.

So if you happen to be unfortunate enough to still have a subscription to cable television. You know as you're flipping through the channels, you got TVN God TV and you know on all this weird Quackery spirituality and I remember when when we lived in Southern California.

We lived in Orange County for a time whenever we would drive up to Costa Mesa. We would drive right by the TVN headquarters and during Christmas time, holy smokes I mean it looked like Elvis and Santa Claus had a baby, you know.

It was it was the most gaudy gosh thing I've ever seen in my life but man, it was it was quite the spectacle, but In the future you can see what's going to happen so, you know. Somebody like Todd White's gonna arise within the NAR and this fellow.

He's gonna come on the scene like gangbusters. Like you will have not heard of him one day and then the next day everybody's talking about this guy and unlike Todd White He's not gonna pull people's legs and you know do the old leg lengthening parlor trick this guy's gonna claim to be you know, an anointed one and He's going to legitimately have TBN's television crew there to record it and he is going to call down Fire from heaven all the scientists on planet Earth and you know.

The notable ones that show up on the media and YouTube are going to show up to debunk these miracles. He will perform them over and over again in their presence and they will say this is really happening.

This is not trickery and TBN will say we're saved it's the Messiah and you're gonna sit there and go on that's what Jesus warned us about and you're gonna get on social media and you say that guy isn't the Christ and Your Christian friends are going to slander you and they're going to censor you.

They're going to block you. They're going to fight and argue with you and say you just don't have the Holy Spirit. How dare you? Yeah. Oh, yeah, and they'll turn you in because with the ascension of these Miracle workers, they're gonna also be given political power, too.

Okay. Yeah. Listen, this is it does this is not rocket surgery. Christ told us all of this ahead of time and the thing is you pointing out the Bible and saying well Jesus told us exactly that this was what was gonna happen and he said don't believe it and You're just a hater you just don't have the Holy Spirit you you you you just need you have head knowledge.

But you don't have heart knowledge. You need to ask God the Holy Spirit to reveal to you whether or not this man is really the Messiah or not. No, I don't the Bible. Jesus said he's not all right. False Christ false prophets will arrive perform great signs and wonders.

So as to lead astray if possible, even the elect see I've told you beforehand. You see even Jesus sits there and goes. I'm telling you ahead of time and you're gonna point this out. Jesus said I told you ahead of time.
