Hallelujah.

Gloria. [Music] What? No Spanish speaking people here.

Praise God. Father in heaven, in Jesus name, I come in agreement now with my brother Fred, Father God, as to binding, Father God, every demonic influence that uh will try to hinder, Father God, us from receiving the word of God tonight. Your word declares that your word does not return to you void, Father, but every time we quote or speak it or talk about it, it goes forth and accomplishes the purpose for which you send it. We declare that we are vessels ready to receive your word, Father God, like water to our spirit and to our soul for nourishment, Father God, for deliverance, for healing, and for restoration, Father God, that we may receive spiritual vision, Father God. The vision of life and hope and liberty and the grace and mercy that you have bestowed upon us, Father God. also that we may have ears to hear what the Holy Spirit says to us, Father God, that we may walk in the path of righteousness for your name's sake. And that you will empower us, Father God, to choose the right door. And we pray, Father, that you would close every door that is not our destiny in you. And that the Holy Spirit will lead us and guide us through that door, no matter how difficult it may be, that we may walk through it by the power of the Holy Spirit, that we may fulfill the purpose for which you created us. that we may fulfill the destiny. For you created us for a purpose and the purpose is to give joy to you. It says that for your pleasure we were created that the things that we do may give pleasure to you, Lord Jesus. Thank you for empowering us tonight to receive it and bless a vision for women ministries. Father God, I pray your blessing upon Fred and Tony and the many that support this ministry, Father God, that it will be a vibrant, Father God, place where life and liberty and all of these things that the Holy Spirit has come to give us, Father God, that may be received. But those who come here, Father, in Jesus name, we thank you, Lord. Amen. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. Glory to God. If you got the book, we're going to use a lot of the scriptures that we have in the book. Uh we're going to start on page 49. And uh but if you have your Bible, I'm going to be quoting from um from the Bible. And I'm going to start where we finished last week. And that was in Revelation 11 uh Revelation 11 7-10. And then uh we're talking about the end of the um the first half of the wrath of God. For for those of you that that may not be here for the other classes, just get let me give you a brief recount. The church age lasts about 2,000 years. At the end of the church age, there will be an invasion upon the land of Israel. It will be a confederacy that comes from the north. It will involve a lot of the the nations. right now Iran will be one of them by the way that says that the uh the destruction of Israel is very close and that the United States the destruction of the United States will follow that's what he said in the United Nation this madman uh is going to be part very probably of this invasion against Israel so what will happen is God will allow this invasion to take place for one very simple reason most people on the world today don't know who who the real god is. You know there are many gods been preached. You have Buddha, you have Hinduism, you have new age. Even in Christianity, you have many definitions of that. The Bible says in Ezekiel uh 38 and 39 that God is going to show himself holy. That means God is going to choose to reveal to the entire world who the real God is. We read in Revelation chapter 6 when the sixth seal was opened that the sky receded as a scroll and that the people were able to see God in the throne and and the lamb of God Jesus next to him and they said the great day of his wrath has come and everybody ran and hid for their lives because the judgment was coming. So this judgment that God is and basically the judgment is purification. If we look at it from this point of view, it's easier to understand. The earth is contaminated with demons. This is alien, foreign creatures that were never intended to be here on the earth. These are the demons. They're called principalities, powers, a wicked spirit in the high places. These things contaminate mankind today to where mankind is at war against each other and against itself. People kill each other. People hate each other. People do vile things. All of the things are uh uh driven by demons which are under the control of Satan who led a rebellion against God. And one-third of these demonic angels are infesting the earth today. Now the Bible tells us uh in in Romans 8 um 9 in Romans 7:20 uh speaking as a Christian it says if I do the things that I do not want to do it is no longer I who do it but sin that's living in me. So Paul even speaks about a power of loneliness a power that it is within our very uh fiber that drives us to do things we know are wrong. You know we're bound. And it's just like this force is driving. What God is doing during this seven-year period is cleansing the earth. At the end of the seven-year period, an angel comes down with a great chain bind Satan and locks him up in the bottomless pit with every demon that has been uh bound there from that time. So, we saw that there were two types of churches at the time of this trumpet blowing when this uh uh when the heavens are going to part. One is called the Philadelphia church. The Philadelphia church has two qualities. And because of those two qualities, God says, "I will keep you from the hour that is coming to test all of the inhabitants of the earth." The quality was is that we believe in the word of God and that we did not deny his name. See, there are many people today that quote the Bible but don't really believe it. They they they say, "Yeah, we believe Jesus was a good man, but demons, h there's no such thing. Yeah, we believe that Jesus was a good man, but healing people that were blind." No, that was just they were peasants. What did they know? They wasn't really blind when they got there. This is what they'll tell you. They teach you this in in liberal theology. And when it comes about the deity, ah uh no, you know, Joseph messed around with Mary and so Jesus was born out of that. So Jesus is a good man in their eyes. He did good thing but he's not either God nor savior because see if he was born of Joseph he's infected with sin just as we are because the reason why we sin is because we inherited. Guess what? Your parents sin. David said in sin my mother did conceive me when he was repenting of of a sin of lust and and and adultery and all the things said in he says I was conceiving sin. And so as you can see this sinful nature that we have God is going to remove it by simply people who believe in the word of God and in the blood of Jesus to cleanse. You see the only thing that can take away our sins is the blood of Jesus. That's why Jesus had to die. When Jesus died on the cross you you see God when he gave the law he said the soul that sinnth shall surely die. And God says that the life is in the blood. So death meaning your blood has to be shed. That's that's what what a criminal does when when when they kill him. The blood is where the life is at. So the blood is run out of it. So when Jesus died on the cross and he was bleeding from the head because he had thorns on the head. He was bleeding from the wrist because they have pierced his hand. He was bleeding from his uh feet because they have pierced his feet. He was bleeding from his back because they beaten and had all kinds of stripes on the back. And then he was uh uh bleeding from the pierce. They pierced his heart with a spear. When Jesus was bleeding from every extremity, every part of the body, torso, head, extremity, when he was bleeding, his blood, which is pure blood, was sufficient before God to take away all of the sin. So when we accept Jesus as our savior, you see in in the ark of the covenant which is a picture up in there in the middle in the ark of a covenant the law that says the short that the soul that sin is shall surely be cut off was placed in here. This is a box made of gold and had the little top and this law was placed in there the books of Moses. This up here is called the mercy seat. So when you would apply blood to the mercy seat, the angels here represent God looking down, the God could see through the top and could see the sins. The law says you shall die. But when the blood was poured out, the blood covered the law. It says that blood already uh h uh paid for the sin. So the people in the Old Testament had to offer a sacrifice, a lamb that was spotless, that had no no no blemishes on it. And that blood pointed out to when the lamb of God would take away the sins of the world. So that when Jesus came and he died on the cross, now when I come to the mercy sinner, I said, "Lord, forgive me for I have sinned." The law says to all the sinner shall surely die. So I am to be killed. But then the blood of Jesus who was taken by the eternal spirit when he was on the cross, it was placed in the heavenly ark and was placed up in there. The blood of Jesus now covers me. When I throw myself in the mercy seat of God, I come before the mercy seat of God. God looks and instead of seeing me and seeing the law, he sees the blood. Amen. You see, and if I believe that, if I fall to that, I am not righteous because anything I have done, but by the grace of God and I believe his word, and I believe his atonement, and I believe that Jesus had to be pure and holy, the son of God, conceived by the spirit of God, human, because he was placed in the in in the womb. And now we know today that you can take a a female egg and you can fertilize it with a sperm. That's what God did. Except instead of injecting a Joseph or any man thing, it was God. The very same breath that he spoke in the Garden of Eden when he created Adam, he placed that breath in in in in the ovary of Mary. And that which was conceived was totally human. But his blood was pure because a fetus does not get any blood from the mother at all. The blood of a spirit fetus come from the father. Being that his father wasn't Joseph, that his father was God. His blood was pure. And so when he shed his blood, guess what? Boom. I am saved. Why? Because his blood is my life now. Okay. Now there's another church we're told. And the church of the church of Leo and the sin of this church is that in Revelation 3:20, Jesus stands the at the door of this church. He says, "I stand at the door and knock." Means this church, Jesus is out. And you know why Jesus is out? Because that type of church doesn't believe there's demons. Doesn't believe there's Satan. Doesn't believe that Jesus is really the son of God. They just have religion. And see, religion cannot save. Religion cannot save because sin is deep inside of each and every one of us. And the only way that can remove away that sin is the blood of Jesus. So then we saw that uh before the seven years wrath of God begins on the earth that the true church those who love his appearing. Paul talks about Jesus's return. Those who love his appearing meaning when the uh when the heavens are open and we can see the throne of God and we can see the lamb of God ready to judge all of those of us who have that blessed hope. We're going to get excited. We got to start jumping up on that. What's up? That's what rejoice says. And we got to start shouting. He kept his prophet. He kept his here Jesus here. I'm over here women. And we got to be w just waiting for the angel to come by and pick us up. But you see, the people have been trusting in religion. The people have been denying that Jesus is the son of God and that yeah, no, he his blood really don't take away sin. He doesn't do this or that. those people are going to be left behind because they don't know the real Jesus. And so they're going to have to go through the judgment. And we found out that this seven-year period is divided into two parts. The first half and the second half. The first half 7 years by the way is 2555 days. That is if you multiply 365* 7. 7 years is 2555 days. We found out that the first half has 1,260 days and the second half has 1,290 days. That makes it 2550. So there's five days in between. We found out that when the church gets taken away, not only those of us who are alive and are looking for his appearing are taken out, but every righteous person, every person that died hoping on that blood that come from heaven will be raised at that time. So we have the first part of the resurrection. All of those dead people, Adam will his body will rise then. Abraham, Sarah, David, all of those saints, every person who believe the word of God as it was given to them back then will be raised up at the beginning of this 1,260 days. And God in his mercy for the first five months, that's 150 days. Of those 1,260 days, he's going to release all the demons that are in hell. In other words, this second heaven or the second realm where all of these demonic things that we see their influences today because they're not seen at the time they're going to be revealed. And it says that these demons were given power to torment all of the inhabitants of the earth for five months, but they couldn't kill him. He says nobody's going to be able to die on those five months, which is it really boggles your mind. Can you imagine a whole world with so much stuff and nobody can die? The angel of death is going to be blocked away or something. God is not going to let anybody that. So for five months we or not me I won't be here but the people that remain here on the earth are going to find out that hell is real. And you know why? Because a lot of people 75 or 80% of the people acc believe that there's a heaven up to 90 95%. But very few people believe that there's a hell. And you see, you're going to have God and and no devil. Just like you're going to have no devil and and a God because it's good and evil. That's what Adam and Eve parttook of. They ate of the tree of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. There's good and there's evil. There's God and there's the devil. And they have an influence of where we're going. So because those people did not believe. In other words, they might have believed in God, but they said, "You know what? There's really no hell I don't have to worry about. I just going to live for myself. So what God is going to do during those five months, he's going to allow every human that is on the earth to get acquainted with their demons. Those demons that entice people to do the bad things been all this time. All the time you thought it might have been you, the one that was doing it. Well, if you miss that the rapture, they're going to be released and and you're going to be able to see them. And this is in God's mercy to show you, listen, this is what's real. So then the two witnesses come in and they will be prophesying for those 1,260 days. Now prophesying meaning declaring what the people of that time have to do in order to go to heaven. Right now we know what we need to do to go to heaven. That if you confess that Jesus died for your sin, you confess you're a sinner and that Jesus died for you and you believe that in your heart and accept him as your savior, you're saved. Guaranteed. There's no requirement. You don't have to be a PhD on nothing. All you have to do is believe. God has given everybody this a a seed of faith to believe on that. Now, these people are going to be told what they need to do. And this is the message of the two witnesses. And when the two witnesses are given the message, it comes from the voice of seven thunders. As the seven thunders utter their voices, John is told not to write what they say. That means that we don't know. So if you say now, well, if I miss a rapture, I'll do such and such. Why would you want to meet your demon for five months? I'm not that crazy, you know. Leave him here. I'm going to go up on the boat. But anyway, if somebody would think like that, uh, we're not told what they need to do at that time to get saved. This is sealed. This is not going to be revealed until after we are taken out. Now this this uh uh uh people are going to have good news and bad news. He says, "I took the scroll." This is what they were the message. When I took it in my mouth was sweet as honey, but when it got to my stomach, it was bitter. It was sour. This is a a type of to saying good news and bad news. The two witnesses are going to come in and says, "I got good news and I got bad news." The good news is you can still make it to heaven. And everybody said, "Hallelujah." And they said, "The bad news is you got to die." Why? Because you missed it. You You missed the grace of God. The grace ends when the trumpet blows and we're taken up. So the second half, God is now dealing with the law. So at the end of the 1,260 days, this is when the law ends. And this is what we're going to pick up. So I just kind of gave you an abbreviated version of what we've been teaching so far. Revelation 11 verse 7-10. And if you got the book, we're on page 49. It says, "When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them, and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city, which is spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongs, and nations will see their dead bodies for three and a half days and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth. They blamed these two prophets for releasing the demons and and for doing all of the things that they were do, trying to convince them that they can still make it. Now notice that the person that kills them is called a beast that ascended out of the bottomless pit. Everybody know it's the antichrist, but you hear a lot of stuff today about the antichrist is Henry Kissinger or they're always looking for a guy somewhere in the world that would fit, you know, maybe is uh Obama or McCain or Bush. They're always looking for for some world leader that's going to fit that. He comes out of the pit. How much more clear can you get than that? This guy comes out of the pit. What pit are you talking about? The pit of hell. That's where he comes out of. He is, you see here, I got to identify who are the two witnesses. Well, the two witnesses is Enoch and Elijah. Now, why are this the two witnesses? Well, Enoch never die and Elisha never die. And the word of God says very clearly that it is appointed unto men once to die. Then comes the judgment. These two were taken up to heaven and never die. That violates the law of God. So they had to come back down to the earth to do what? To die. We just read. That's what they did. Well, in the same way, you know how long Enoch has been in heaven? He was taken up there about 700 years after Adam. So, Adam uh so we have a uh let me see two to three is one to four five six he's been up in there about 4,300 years you know and he won't be a second older when he comes down because in heaven he's at the center of time Jesus says I am the I am the I am is at the center of time everything moves around him but it's he's ever present so you're next to Jesus and you're ever present as a matter of fact in in in in the temple where the ark is there's a manora like this and you see this in Zechariah and there's another olive tree and another olive tree which is who the two witnesses are standing right next to the spirit of God that's the spirit that burns eternal they're standing in eternity and they're there for a purpose and they come in for this purpose this purpose is for them to preach the word of God to the world for 1,260 days now Satan is an imitator everything that God does. Satan does. See, Satan is not an originator. He's not a creator. He is just the opposite of everything that God is. He has no new thing of his own. The same thing Satan is tempting you with now. He tempted your parents, your grandparents, your great-grandparents. Go all the way back up to Adam. He still had the same lure. Getting old, but you know, this is what it does. He had nothing new. It's the same thing. So, he led a rebellion against Moses. That's uh 3,500 years ago. He led a rebellion against Moses and and and we'll get to the scripture tonight. And Moses says, "If these two guys die a natural death, then I'm not from God." But if God does something totally new, he takes these two guys alive to the pit to hell, then you know that I'm from God. So here these two guys uh uh Alberam and uh Avatar, who's the other? We'll we'll get to their names. Anyway, these two guys is been down in hell while the two witnesses have been there. When the heavens rent open and the rapture takes place, the two witnesses come down, the earth open up and the two demonic guys open up. So, what you have during this first, 1260 days is a battle between four what you would say immortals. I mean, we know that the witnesses are going to die, but they're brought back alive again. But this this is going to be what's happening during this 1,260 days. There's a battle between heaven and hell. The antichrist was called destroyer, Abdom. We saw him come up when the fifth trumpet came out. Uh the angel that came down had the key to the to the abyss. And as he opened the abyss, all of this came down. And there was one that was leading him. His name was Abdom or destroyer. That's what Judas was the type of just like Elijah was a type John the Baptist was a type of Elijah. Judas was a type of the Antichrist. Okay. Now he comes up and for 1,260 days they're making war against the two witnesses. But the two witnesses have power to bring fire down from heaven and to torment the people. And they cannot be killed until the end of the days of their prophecy. 1,260 days, which is what we just read. We just read in Revelation 11 verse 17-10 that uh as soon as their their testimony when they finish their testimony the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit is going to make war against them is going to overcome them and kill them because they have never died. They cannot go back to heaven until they die. It is appointed onto men wants to die. When we when the rapture takes place, we don't die. You said, "Well, why not?" Did you know that if you're a Christian, you're already dead? Because when you accept Jesus Christ as your savior, God sees you as condemned. Because all the sin is to surely be cut off. So when you come to the altar and say, "Lord, forgive me all of my sins." You just admit it before God, your judgment day, death. Except God has a lawyer. He's an advocate. He's Jesus. And immediately as you throw yourself on the altar and said, "God, I'm a sinner." And the Lord requires that you be killed. Jesus steps in said, "Father, I die for this person. My blood, which is on the mercy seat," speaks out on their behalf. And even though you're dead, you remain alive. That's why Paul says, "I am dead in Christ. I am crucified with Christ. The life that I now live is not I who lives it, but the spirit of God that is on me." So you see, we go in the rapture because in reality, we're already dead. Jesus said, "He that believeth in me shall never die." And then he said, "Can you believe this?" He said, "Wait a minute. This body is going to die in the No, I'm not the body. This is just a a a tent that you need to operate here on the earth. The body may die, but you're not. The minute you accepted Jesus Christ as your savior, the Holy Spirit was given to you as a deposit, as a guarantee to make your spirit alive. So when the trumpet blows, we're taken up again. So then the two witnesses are killed. Now go down to uh next page 50 and uh look at Revelation 11, 12, and 13. This is following uh from what we were just reading. Now after the three and a half days that these bodies lay up in there on the temple, the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. And they heard a loud voice from heaven, saying to them, "Come up here." This is the resurrection. Come up here. And they ascended to heaven in a cloud. That's what the resurrection is. They ascended to heaven in a cloud and their enemies saw them. It says in that same hour there was a great earthquake and a tenth of the city fell. This is important that you see there's a collapse physical collapse of the earth that takes place. In the earthquake 7,000 people were killed and the rest were afraid and gave glory to God. Now what happens over here is everybody that died trusting in the word of God from Adam all the way until when the trumpet blows and heavens is rent open. They even though they're dead, their bodies are going to be resurrected. In other words, you have a a spiritual body in heaven. Your soul is in heaven with Jesus, but you don't have a physical body. Since Jesus is coming back to the earth, you need to have an eternal and immortal body like Jesus has. So wherever the molecules or the atom that your body were made of, wherever they may be, God reconstitute them and makes a brand new body come up. And that body then is the house for the spirit and the soul to come in. And then we're going to be like Jesus because that's what Jesus has. Jesus not only has his soul and his spirit, he has a physical body that's been in heaven for 2,000 years since he rose up physically. So at that time, those who us those of us who are alive and still believe, we're going to be transformed. Paul says that in the twinkling of an eye when the trumpet blows that we're going to be raised up. the corrupt the corruptible is going to put in corruption and and we're going to be transformed in an instant. Now, since that is a resurrection, now during the 1,260 days, a lot of people die. Says onethird of all of the earth is killed. Okay? Every person that dies during the 1,260 days, if they die believe in the testimony of the two witnesses, they have to be resurrected as well. These are the ones that are under the law. Now, this is what happens when the when we just read there, it says a voice, the spirit of God came upon them. They became alive and a voice from heaven says come up here. That is the second uh uh the second stage of the first resurrection. See, God resurrected everybody by grace. Now he gave u the the law and now everybody that died in there is resurrected. So that includes the two witnesses who were faithful to their calling and that includes the the 144,000 as you will see uh uh later. Now, uh, continue on. Revelation 11:14-16.

It says, "The second wool is passed. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly." We told you that the 1,260 days were divided into two woes. The first five months was called the first wall, which was the fifth trumpet. The second wall was the rest of the time. So right here, that completes the second world. That means we're coming into the seventh trumpet now. And the seventh trumpet is going to lead us into what we're going in tonight, the second half of the seven years wrath of God, which will encompass 1,290 days. Now, Revelation uh 11:14-16. Then the seventh angel sounded, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever. And the 24 elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worship God." Now, here is God making a declaration. Remember there are three things that God is judging during these seven years. He's judging the church. We found there was one that was faithful and there was one that was lacking. He's he's judging the Jews who have seven years remaining on their allotted time of judgment. According to Daniel, 490 years were uh decreed to judge him. At the at the end of 483 Jesus Messiah came and was cut off. So these seven years are allotted for the Jews. And here the only thing now that is left to be judged is the kingdoms of this world. So God judges the church first, then he judges Israel second, and then third he's going to judge the kingdoms of this world. Now in in in uh the resurrection and rapture of the church, the remember there are seven feasts. you have Passover uh unleaven bread and and uh first fruit. All of those three feasts that were celebrated at the beginning of the year represented the uh uh Jesus dying on the cross is our Passover. He's the lamb that has to be killed. The blood that was put on the lentil and uh and the lamb that they ate to be healed. That's what Jesus fulfilled Passover. When he was buried in the tomb, he fulfilled the feast of unleaven bread. Leaven is a type of sin. Bread without leaven means a body that has no sin. He was dead, but yet he never had no sin. So he had to rise. Then on the third day after the Sabbath, then you celebrated first fruit. First fruit symbolized the resurrection. So all those three feasts were filled by Jesus. Then Jesus told his disciple, go to Jerusalem and wait until you're end with power. And in 50 days from that feast, the Holy Spirit came down and 120 uh disciples that were in the upper room praying were full with the Holy Spirit. They began to prophesy and they're the ones that preach the gospel to all the world. Now, in the second coming of Jesus Christ, the last three feasts are going to be fulfilled. The first one is called the feast of trumpets. Guess what? The rapture takes place when the blowing of the trumpet. And that takes place that feast is fulfilled at the very first day at the end of the church when the church gets taken away. That's when the feast of trumpets is fulfilled. Then after the feast of trumpet, you have the most holy of all of the feast for the Jews is called the day of atonement when the sins of the nation of Israel have to be dealt with. That is what's happening over here in this middle time. God is judging Israel. This is Israel's day of atonement when the two witnesses are killed. And then uh and then the blood has to be shed. Now uh look at revelation 11 17-19. They saying we give you thanks oh Lord God Almighty the one who is and who was and who is to come because you have taken your great power and reign. The nations were angry, and your wrath has come. And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that you should reward your servants, the prophets, and the saints, and those who fear your name, small and great, and should destroy those who destroy the earth. Then the temple of God was open in heaven. And the ark, that's the ark I just showed you there, and the ark of his covenant was seen in the temple. And there were lightning, noises, thunderous, earthquake, and great hell. Now see, the Bible says that every believer who has already died in Christ must appear before the judgment seat of Christ. Paul says, "Don't you know that you're not your own? That you've been bought with a price? Don't you know that you got to give an account for everything you done in the body after you were saved, whether good or bad?" See, this is not Christians believe that, oh, we're we're good. No. This life that we live now belongs to Jesus. God has a plan and a destiny for your life. And your judgment is not going to be whether you sin or whether you lie or whether you drink or whether you committed sexual immorality. Those those those things already being judged in the cross. What God is going to judge us for is for whether we fulfill our purpose, whether we fulfill our destiny, whether we live up to the reason why he created us. That's the purpose of this reward. He says that everything that we done after we got saved is going to be uh typified in sixth item. He call it wood, hay and straw. And then he calls it precious stones, silver and gold. Now as you know precious stones, silver and gold cannot be destroyed by fire. They can be refined but they cannot be destroyed. But wood, hay and stubble they are burnt. So basically when the rapture takes place, every single one of us must appear before the judgment seat of Christ. And then the books are going to be open. I was born again in June 2nd, 1976. Everything from the time I was born to June 2nd, 1976. I was 29 years old. It's not there in the books. You know why it's not there? Because Jesus forgave it all. Amen.
