DAWN OF THE END TIMES The purpose of Dawn of the End Times is to present a vivid and faith-centered account of the final moments leading to Christ’s return. Pastor Marcos Marrero seeks to awaken urgency in believers, affirm the fulfillment of biblical prophecy, and inspire unwavering faith in Jesus amid global chaos and judgment. The message emphasizes both the sobering reality of judgment for unbelievers and the glorious hope of redemption for those who remain steadfast in Christ. DAWN OF THE END TIMES Pastor Marcos Marrero July 27, 1997 Objective: The purpose of Dawn of the End Times is to present a vivid and faith-centered account of the final moments leading to Christ’s return. Pastor Marcos Marrero seeks to awaken urgency in believers, affirm the fulfillment of biblical prophecy, and inspire unwavering faith in Jesus amid global chaos and judgment. The message emphasizes both the sobering reality of judgment for unbelievers and the glorious hope of redemption for those who remain steadfast in Christ. Synopsis: Written on July 27, 1997, Dawn of the End Times describes in gripping detail the apocalyptic events that mark the beginning of the end. The narrative opens in the early morning hours, when the world awakens to the devastating destruction of a massive army invading Israel—a defeat so sudden and absolute that it can only be attributed to divine intervention. The collapse of world powers leaves humanity stunned, and the imminent return of Christ becomes undeniable. For believers, these hours are filled with anticipation, reverent fear, and quiet prayer as they prepare to meet their Redeemer. Yet for the majority of the world, panic, violence, and rebellion erupt, as mobs reject God’s authority and vent their anger on those of “the Way.” Pastor Marrero highlights the stark division: while unbelievers cling to disbelief and deception, Christians recognize the fulfillment of Scripture with clarity and hope. As dawn breaks, the imagery shifts from despair to triumph. Believers, gathered together, sense the call of God: “Arise my children, your hard service has been rendered.” The trumpet is about to sound, and eternity is dawning. The climax arrives with the appearance of Jesus Himself, clothed in glory, descending swiftly to claim His own. The narrator experiences the awe-filled transformation into a new, glorified body, overwhelmed with the cry: “Hallelujah, He kept His promise!” Ultimately, the message captures both the terror of judgment and the breathtaking hope of salvation, reminding readers of the urgency of faith and the certainty of Christ’s return. Inspired Teaching: In the early hours of the morning of that day, we knew that something awesome was about to happen. It was one of those things that cannot be explained yet, you know it is real. In a way it did not seem any different than any other morning if you just concentrated on the elements rather than the happenings around you, for this definitely was not like any other morning; this was the last morning on earth for millions of people around the world. By the time that the next evening would come, life would never be the same for the billions left behind. You see this was the dawn of the end times. At long last, after many words had been written on the subject and an endless parade of predictions, it was here, it had arrived, and it was real. The evening before had started with great apprehension, as people beheld in utter disbelief the news that a great vast army led by Russian troops and a formidable coalition of forces from three continents had been totally wiped out as with the stroke of a pen in an instant and their bodies litter the Israeli countryside. The bright flash of light that had consumed them could not be explained in any other terms than divine intervention. The world leaders and politicians at large were dumbfounded with a lack of an explanation, which was the norm for those in charge of reporting the news. There was no doubt in all quarters that the returned of Jesus Christ was now eminent and that the time of judgment was now here, and there was no way of escaping it. For those of us who had been waiting for this blessed event since the day of our conversion it seem to come upon us with mixed feelings, for in the chill of the early morning hours and as we realized that the hour of our redemption was almost upon us, we would soon be meeting face to face the one who had paid the full price of our redemption. We also realized that the majority of the people of the earth had been deceived and had rejected the creators’ offer of peace, and now only the awful expectation of judgment was all that was left for the peoples of the world. They tremble before the mighty signs but yet lacked the faith to repent and call upon the name that would save them, the name of Jesus. Panic has broken out in many places and mobs of people everywhere had gone into a rampage destroying, looting, burning and killing all who would get in their way; since this is the end they reasoned, they did not have to be accountable to any authorities here on earth, and utter rebellion to all forms of authority was their final act of defiance before God. For the people of the way this were apprehensive hours to say the least, for the undercurrent theme throughout the multitudes was that we were the ones to blame for the current occurrences, and vengeance against them seems to be the purest form of retribution. We had all come from different areas of the city, like drawn by an invisible force. We could tell just by looking at each other’s faces what we had in common in the middle of chaos, there was this peace and assurance, and a very reverent holy fear gripped us all. There wasn’t much talking among us, just a great deal of silent praying as we all had in our minds someone who we were not sure if they would have the strength to call on the name of Jesus amid their confusion. As I huddled with my family I glanced at the starry night and memories of days gone by flooded my mind. Life then just seemed so brief; It seemed like just yesterday I was a little boy, up in the early morning fishing with my dad. Feeling the early morning chill as I crawled towards the back of the boat to keep warm, enduring those hardships in the hope that the day would bring lots of fish and a great time with my dad. Hoping that I will catch that big one so that I will have something great to brag about to my friends. The glow of the fires illuminating the distant horizon brought me back to the reality of the moment. It was so real. How many times in our walk we felt like just giving up, without realizing how much was really at stake. And now there was no doubt as to what hangs on the balance of faith, for to deny Christ at this point in time is the greatest of all mistakes and one that would be regretted for eternity. How can something that seems so simple as exercising one’s faith be so hard? But there they were, multitudes in the valley of decision; since they had given themselves to believe the assurances of the world, that there is no God and that we humans had evolved, how can all of the sudden one give oneself to change one’s mind and belief? Just because of a few great signs, there must be a logical explanation for all these happenings. The greatest fear of all humanity at this point in time was that nobody had risen [yet] to the task of assuring the peoples of the world otherwise. In the other hand, for the people of the way all those years of reading and studying the bible trying to make sense of it all had paid off. All the events that were happening had such clarity to them, all those hidden things now made perfect sense. The breeze had changed direction as dawn approached and one could smell the burnt ashes of what used to be the hopes and dreams of mankind. The darkest hour of the night was nearly over and if one looked intensely towards the eastern skies, one could see the dawning of eternity for those whose hearts were filled with hope. But only the deepest of darkness remained for those who placed their hopes on the abilities of man, what they had trusted upon had betrayed them. If only there was another lie that they could believe, another reprieve to postpone the inevitable. We all as one got on our feet and began to gaze intensely towards the dawn. It was like an unheard voice was calling to each of us, “ARISE MY CHILDREN, YOUR HARD SERVICE HAS BEEN RENDERED.” It was finally over! As we stood there in the flesh, with the early morning breeze refreshing our souls for the last time in this body here on earth we knew that the trumpet was about to sound, and there was no going back. Oh, what a feeling! This would be the last time here on earth for us, in this body of sin. As I began to ponder as to how the transfer would take place, I saw HIM. He was dressed in a long white robe and was moving towards me rapidly. He was walking in the air at a very fast pace and yet He was moving at the same time, and it seemed at the speed of light. As he very rapidly approached me, I could see his face, and my eyes locked into his blazing eye. I could feel myself dying, for every fiber in my body trembled at his holy presence. My heart pounded loudly and out of control. I was so scared I could not keep from shaking, but as my flesh panted for air that it could not find, I found that from deep within me a new man was rising, and in a deep and clear voice it shouted “HALLELUJAH, HE KEPT HIS PROMISE”. As the struggle between the two was ending I felt a violent collision. JESUS had grabbed me right at the middle of the heart without slowing down and I suddenly moved at the speed of light through the air. I could feel my new body forming out of the old. My tongue which was plastered to the roof of my mouth because of the great speed at which we were traveling, could feel the missing teeth growing and my spirit could not stop shouting “HALLELUJAH, HE KEPT HIS PROMISE”.

WASH MY FEET The objective of WASH MY FEET is to reveal the spiritual depth and significance of Jesus’ act of washing His disciples’ feet, as recorded in John 13. This teaching emphasizes the believer’s continual need for cleansing from worldly contamination, the importance of humility in serving one another, and the spiritual discernment necessary to overcome hidden works of the enemy. It connects the practice of foot washing with repentance, Holy Communion, deliverance from fear, and the proclamation of the gospel of peace. WASH MY FEET Pastor Marcos Marrero March 8, 2021 Objective: The objective of WASH MY FEET is to reveal the spiritual depth and significance of Jesus’ act of washing His disciples’ feet, as recorded in John 13. This teaching emphasizes the believer’s continual need for cleansing from worldly contamination, the importance of humility in serving one another, and the spiritual discernment necessary to overcome hidden works of the enemy. It connects the practice of foot washing with repentance, Holy Communion, deliverance from fear, and the proclamation of the gospel of peace. Synopsis: In WASH MY FEET, Pastor Marcos Marrero explores Jesus’ profound lesson of humility and spiritual cleansing during the Last Supper. Drawing from John 13:10, the teaching explains that believers, though already washed clean by Christ’s blood and His Word, still need regular repentance due to daily encounters with a sinful world. The washing of the feet symbolizes this ongoing cleansing and exposes the hidden enemy seeking to betray God’s people. Pastor Marcos shows that this act, often viewed as demeaning, carries powerful revelation: it was incorporated into the Holy Communion setting as a means to discern the Lord’s body and avoid weakness, sickness, and spiritual defeat (1 Corinthians 11:29–30). He further connects the significance of feet in Scripture—from Isaiah’s prophecy of the Messiah bringing good news (Isaiah 52:6–7) to the disciples recognizing the risen Christ at His feet—demonstrating that feet symbolize both service and the proclamation of salvation. The teaching emphasizes that humility, shown in the washing of one another’s feet, breaks the power of pride, fear, and confusion, especially in times of crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Pastor Marcos encourages believers to include foot washing with communion as an act of covenant renewal and deliverance from fear. Ultimately, the lesson reveals that through Christ’s death and resurrection, believers are redeemed not only from sin but also from its curses and consequences, and are empowered to walk in healing, restoration, and victory. Inspired Teaching: John 13:10 “Jesus said to him, ‘He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you.’” For those of us who have accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, Jesus declares us to be completely clean. A little maintenance is required, which is symbolized by the washing of our feet. The idea here is that if we take a shower and step out on a dirty floor our feet will get dirty again. We are washed completely clean with the blood of Jesus, but we still live and come in contact with this contaminated world every day. John 15:3 “You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.” Two critical things that we need to know are revealed in our opening text in the action of having our feet washed: First; even though we are completely clean we need to repent on a regular basis because of our interactions with a contaminated world. Second: it exposes a hidden spiritual enemy, whom if it’s not dealt with will betray us in our time of need. John 13:17 “If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.” Having our feet washed or washing someone’s else feet can be a humbling experience if done with the right spiritual understanding. When Peter saw that Jesus was washing the other disciple’s feet, he refused to let Jesus wash his feet. It was common back then to have the lowest of slaves wash the feet of the guest. Peter saw the act as too demeaning for Jesus to do. John 13:8 “Peter said to Him, ‘You shall never wash my feet!’ Jesus answered him, ‘If I do not wash you, you have no part with me.’” Wow! This teaching was so important to Jesus that He told Peter, if you do not let me do it, you are out! To which Peter replied then wash me completely, but as Jesus told him; you are already bathed by the Words I’ve spoken to you. What is so important about having our feet washed? John 13:2-4 “And supper being ended (or during supper), the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God, rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.” Please notice that the word: supper being ended; can also be translated: during supper; so that the washing of the feet is part of the Holy Communion liturgy. The gospel of John is the only gospel that mentions the washing of the feet as part of the Holy Communion ceremony. John is giving us insight into the spiritual revelation hidden here that will help us overcome when we are weak and sick because of our failure to discern the Lord’s body. 1 Corinthians 11:29-30 “For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.” Worth repeating here: John 13:17 “If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.” The disciples did not have a clue that there was a traitor among them. It was during the washing of their feet that the disciples received the revelation of what the devil was up to in their midst. 2 Kings 4:27 “Now when she came to the man of God at the hill, she caught him by the feet, but Gehazi came near to push her away. But the man of God said, ‘Let her alone; for her soul is in deep distress, and the Lord has hidden it from me, and has not told me.’” Why the feet? Seems like the deep mysteries are revealed by the grasping or washing of the feet. Isaiah 52:6-7 “Therefore My people shall know My name; therefore they shall know in that day that I am He who speaks: ‘Behold it is I.’ How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace, who brings glad tidings of good things, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, ‘Your God reigns!’” This is a prophecy about Jesus the Messiah of Israel revealing Himself to His disciples as their Savior, the promised One: ‘Behold it is I.’ And the introduction of His disciples to the era of God’s grace that they were to proclaim to all the world through His church: ‘Your God reigns!’ It was at this moment that the last Adam regained the dominion that the first Adam had lost. It is the hour when the Messiah told His disciples: Drink, this is My blood which is shed for you all! Matthew 26:27-28 “Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, ‘Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.’” The climatic hour when the Gospel of peace is finally revealed, through humility and not pride. John 13:13-15 “You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. If I then, Your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.” This mighty and most powerful gospel is demonstrated by the lowliest of acts; the washing of dirty feet. Jesus had to carry all the sins of mankind to the cross so that they could die there with Him on the cross. He wore a crown of thorns symbolizing His kingship over the curse so He could do away with, not only the curses, but the consequences of them. Jesus then rose from the dead on the third day, but the curses and their consequences remained dead and buried; all of them, removed once and for all from all those who have been redeemed from the curse of the law. HALLELUJAH! Galatians 3:13-14 “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree’), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” In this gospel of peace we do not only receive forgiveness of sins, but also receive deliverance from the consequences of our sins and our ancestor’s sins. We see in 1 Corinthians 11:29-30 that when we fail to discern “not discerning the Lord’s body” is the reason that many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep. So, what are we missing? Perhaps what we are missing is the discernment of the symbolism of the washing of the feet. Worth repeating again: John 13:17 “If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.” Luke 22:15 “Then He said to them, ‘With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.’” If we have spiritual discernment of what He was teaching us through the acts symbolized in the Holy Communion and the washing of the disciples feet: “Blessed are you if you do them”, for the joy that was set before Him, Jesus endured the death of all the curses placed upon His body on the cross that we might be delivered from them after His resurrection from the dead. Matthew 28:9 “And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, ‘Rejoice!’ So they came and held Him by the feet and worshipped Him.” Jesus promised His followers that He would die and rise from the dead on the third day, so where were His apostles on the third day? Hiding! Too traumatize after seeing their Lord brutally murdered. Why was it that only women showed up on the third day at the grave site? They saw His brutal death as well, didn’t they? May I suggest that the women really believed that Jesus was going to Jerusalem to die as He told His disciples, and were mentally prepared for His death when they witnessed His death on the cross—so they were expecting His resurrection as well—while the male disciples did not fully understand the promise of His death and resurrection. Matthew 26:12-13 “For in pouring out this fragrant oil on My body, she did it (to prepare Me) for my burial. Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.” ‘Behold it is I.’ How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace, who brings glad tidings of good things, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, ‘Your God reigns!’ Isaiah 52:6-7 HALLELUJAH! Clearly the feet represent the preaching of the gospel which proclaims the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the blessings of His salvation to us, which includes not only salvation, but deliverance, healing and restoration as well. Psalm 23:4-5 “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.” Jesus knew that His brutal death on the cross would cause trauma on those not discerning that after death came the resurrection. But the promise is that Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil. When Jesus washed His disciple’s feet He was preparing them to receive the spiritual discernment that would lead them into the understanding that death is just a shadow that cannot hurt them and it should not be feared. That is why the women came and held Him by the feet and worshipped Him, they were ready because they were expecting Him to rise from the dead. The power of this Covid 19 pandemic that we are experiencing resides in the spirit of fear that is behind it. I believe that to dispel this spirit of fear, we need to incorporate the washing of each other’s feet to our Holy Communion liturgy, especially for those who have been gripped by the stronghold of fear, whether they were infected by the virus or not; the fear of it is just as deadly. Psalm 25:14-15 “The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him (not the pandemic), and He will show them His covenant (bread, wine and washing of the feet). My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for He shall pluck my feet out of the net (of fear).” Behind every satanic plot lies the spirit of pride, followed by fear and confusion. You break the spirit of pride and everything else falls down like a house of cards. We break the spirit of pride by participating in the lowest of all acts, the washing of someone’s feet. I know that many in the church have been impacted by this spirit of fear caused by this pandemic, but this spirit of fear has been around way before this pandemic began and the Lord is exposing it now, for He is getting His church ready for His soon return. If not in the church, you can do this at home: Have communion with your loved ones and/or friends, and after partaking of the bread and the wine wash each other’s feet as an acknowledgment of the fullness of the covenant that we are under, instituted by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Himself. Psalm 51:17 “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart.” Previous Next Home

UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 9 Equip believers to understand the prophetic flow of Revelation—from the close of the Church Age to Christ’s return, the Millennium, and the Final Judgment—so we live ready, bold, and anchored in the finished work (the blood) of Jesus while urging others to repentance and hope. UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 9 Pastor Marcos Marrero June 28, 2009 Objective: Equip believers to understand the prophetic flow of Revelation—from the close of the Church Age to Christ’s return, the Millennium, and the Final Judgment—so we live ready, bold, and anchored in the finished work (the blood) of Jesus while urging others to repentance and hope. Synopsis: The message opens in prayer, inviting the Holy Spirit’s blessing promised to those who read Revelation. The teaching then walks through a compressed timeline: Church Age & Rapture: The faithful (Philadelphia) are caught up; the lukewarm (Laodicea) face purification on earth. Two Witnesses (1,260 days): Identified as Elijah and Enoch; they prophesy, are killed, raised, and ascend—after which a representative vacuum on earth sets the stage for the Antichrist. Antichrist’s Unopposed Rule (1,290 days): Global control and coercion to receive the mark of the beast. An angel warns (Rev 14:9–11): taking the mark brings eternal judgment. Harvests & Martyrs: Christ reaps those who refused the mark; they appear on the sea of glass mixed with fire (Rev 15:2–3), singing the songs of Moses and the Lamb—Jews and Christians purified and rewarded before entering the temple presence. Seven Bowl Judgments (Rev 16): Targeted, righteous judgments mirror spiritual realities—incurable sores (uncleanness), waters to blood (corrupted life), scorching sun (judgment of sun-worship), darkness over the beast’s throne, culminating in a cataclysmic quake in which mountains vanish and Babylon is fully judged. Heavenly Scene (Rev 19:1–10): While earth is judged, heaven resounds with “Hallelujahs” and the Marriage of the Lamb; the Bride is clothed in righteous acts. Return of Christ (Rev 19:11–16): Jesus descends on a white horse; by the sword of His mouth He destroys gathered armies (the winepress of God’s wrath). The beast and false prophet are cast alive into the lake of fire. Millennial Kingdom (Rev 20:1–6): Satan is bound 1,000 years; survivors and preserved Israel repopulate the earth under Messiah’s rule of peace and longevity. Final Rebellion & White Throne (Rev 20:7–15): Satan’s brief release culminates in swift defeat. All the unrighteous dead face judgment; those not in the Book of Life are cast into the lake of fire. Call to Readiness: Believers are urged to keep short accounts with God (apply the blood at the “door”), stand as Christ’s ambassadors, reject dead religion, and shine with hope. As the world trends toward centralized control, the Church must proclaim: “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Key Themes: the seriousness of the mark, the mercy of God even in judgment, rewards by fire for believers, the certainty of Christ’s victory, and living now with courage, purity, and evangelistic urgency as we await His appearing. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hallelujah. Father in heaven in Jesus name, we thank you for this opportunity to come together as your body, Father God, and partake of your precious word, which is our life, which is our sustenance, which is what lives in us and moves us, Father God, to love you with all of our hearts. We thank you that as uh we come together to partake of the word in the uh book of Revelation, there's a blessing. You said that those who read it and partake of this um teaching will be blessed and we open ourselves tonight to receive the blessing from the Holy Spirit. Jesus, you said that the Holy Spirit would come to you and take from you and bring it directly to us. Every single one of us here have needs, Father God. And we pray that under the blessing of the teaching of the book of Revelation that the Holy Spirit will take from your hands now that which each and every one of us needs tonight and that he will bring it and impart it to us, Father God, that your name, Lord Jesus, may be glorified for all of the goodness and kindness that you have shown to us because of the precious blood that was shed for us. In Jesus name we pray tonight, Lord. And we thank you for the mighty blessings in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Amen. Praise God. Hallelujah. How many people are exciting here tonight? I am excited. Praise God. If you got the book, we're going to start on page 70. And uh if not, we're going to start in the Revelation 14 9:11. Revelation 14:911. Now what we have been uh dealing with um so far and I hope uh tonight I think it's going to be our last night. I hope I get to go and conclude all the way um uh to the new Jerusalem. But if you've been with us, you know that we completed, we started talking about the church age, the rapture of the church, the seven-year wrath of God. God is going to put an end to sin, put an end to suffering, put an end to everything in a period of time of seven years. Seven years is 255 days. And uh the final judgment against uh the antichrist takes place in 42 days. And at the end of those 45 days, God restores everything. So from the time that the rapture takes place to the time because when the rapture takes place, we're going to be taking up to the Lord to be with the Lord to meet the Lord in the clouds and be with him in the air. So we're going to be out there while the earth is being purified. uh 2600 days will take that's 7 years and 45 days from the time that we're raptured to the time that Jesus comes down from heaven. It says that uh he's coming on a white horse and and the armies of heaven are following and the saints all dressed in white. That will be a 2600 uh day period. We talked about that the resurrection of the church completes what the Bible calls the church age. There's going to be two types of churches at that time. One is a Philadelphia church who kept the word of God and and the the name of Jesus. That one is taken up. There's a church is called the Leodysa church. Revelation 3:10 I mean 3:20 says yeah 3:10. Behold I stand at the door and knock. If anybody if anybody hears my voice I will come in. That church does not have Jesus inside of there. She has denied Jesus. So that church gets left to go through this time of purification. Then we spoke about 1260 days. The two witnesses, these are Elijah and Enoch, two men who never died, come down from heaven. They lay down the law. They prophesy for 1,260 days. At the end of the 1,260 days, they are killed. Their bodies lay on Jerusalem on the Temple Mount probably for three and a half days. At the end of the three and a half days, the spirit from God comes into those dead bodies. They raise up and that is the the second res the the second part of the first resurrection with the rapture. There's a resurrection and then now these people are going to be resurrected. Now, at that time, the Bible says God enters into a covenant. And I think it's in Jeremiah, the scripture is in the book. Um, but God said to Jeremiah, "If you can break my covenant with David, that he will always have a descendant to sit on the throne, then you can break my covenant with day and night. The day and night will not come at their appointed time." And so uh uh through David as a son through Israel and then through the church God David has always had a descendant. That means somebody that is anointed by God to represent God here on the earth for the last 2,000 years. We the church have been the representative of God. As a matter of fact, Paul says that we are ambassadors. An ambassador is a person who represents another nation in another nation. you know, if I'm made an ambassador to Kuwait, you know, and I go over there, I I I go to the, you know, the president or or their their ministry and I show my credentials here. The United States is sending me as an ambassador. I become a representative of the United States to that nation. That's what we are. Because in reality, when we accepted Jesus Christ, we die and we're now seated at at the right hand of the father uh uh with Jesus. But we are kept here as ambassadors. And so as ambassadors, we represent God. Now when the rapture takes place, we're not here anymore. That's why the two witnesses come and seal 144,000 12,000 from a tribe of Israel. Now they're anointed to be the ambassadors to God. Now when the two witnesses are killed and they're removed, we found out that time stopped. When evening came, the sun refused to sit down. Why? Because the covenant with David has been broken. They from that time on there's now not one person representative uh representing God's interest here on the earth because the two witnesses have been killed. They have been resurrected. That's why Jesus said when you see the abomination that causes desolation. Desolation means vacated. That means there's there's no representative. Now, this is the time of the antichrist where we're going to be talking tonight. The antichrist at that time when the the time starts moving up again, the antichrist will take over control of everything that is in the world. That means that whatever nation is not going along with the program at that time, he will be the total and complete dictator. His rule will last on opposed for 1,290 days. By the time the 200 1,290 days comes to an end, he would have already forced everybody who is alive at that time to take a mark. And the angel, who's the one that's going to proclaim the gospel at that time, is going to come flying and it's going to tell everybody, "Whatever you do, don't take the mark of the beast." Because if you take the mark of the beast, you're going to be in hell for eternity. So at the end of those 1290 days, every person who has not taken the mark of the beast and that the antichrist was able to get a hold of will be beheaded. But that is a time, the end of 1290 days, when the judgments of God, and this is what we're dealing with tonight. We're going to go to the scriptures right now. That's when the judgment of God begins upon the antichrist. Third judgment is going to be 42 days. It's going to begin in a Sabbath and it's going to end on the Sabbath. So, it's going to be seven Sabbath. But since it begins on one, it's going to be uh six weeks, 6* 7 is 42. So, I just gave you an idea there as to where we're going to start. Now, let's go to the um uh let me see. I said Revelation 14 9:11, right? Okay. Then a third angel followed them saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worship the beast and his image and receive his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of his indignation. And he, whoever the person is that takes the mark of the beast, shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascend forever and ever. And they have no rest day or night who worship the beast and his image. And whoever received the mark of his name. Now during this time uh that is just beginning right now. The the people that are left on the earth I believe are the people that were so demonized that were not able number one to receive the gospel like we do now and to be saved or during the ministry of the two witnesses. They were so demonized that they couldn't let other demons go and and do what the two witnesses said they had to do in order to be saved. What is going to take place in this time is that now Satan is when when Babylon the great, which is where all of the demons come from, is judged. Satan is the only entity that is going to be left. And then the people who were so demonpossessed or demonized, they were so great influence on their demons. When those demons are removed from them, now for the first time, they can see. And so these people that now repent and refuse to accept the mark of the beast are going to be killed. But the reason why I believe that they're able to now be saved after living through all of that other stuff is that now for the first time they can see. So in Revelation 14:14-16, now we see the the resurrection of those who were beheaded said, "Then I look and behold a white cloud and on the cloud sat one like the son of man having on his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud. He says, "Trust in your sickle and reap, for the time has come for you to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe. So he who sat on the cloud trusted in his sickle of the earth and the earth was reaped." Now this is the people that were reaped. Look at Revelation 15. Just go ahead a little bit. Revelation 15, next chapter, verse 2, three, and verse 8. These are the people that were just reap or resurrected. He says, "And I saw something like a sea of glass mingle with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God." And listen what they do. They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the lamb. That means that these were Jews and Christians. Now you say, "Man, how come uh uh uh through all of that there were Christians that were not saved and there were Jews that were not saved?" Well, if you look at the the Revelation chapter 7 when the 12 tribes were sealed, we know that two of the tribes were cursed back in in in uh during the times of Moses and that Joseph's two sons became tribes to replace them. So when you look at the tribes that were sealed in revelation chapter 7, we find out that Dan and Ephraim wasn't there. Two tribes were not there. So it means these are still Jews. They're still under the covenant of the law, but they have not been sealed. And we also see that that layout they say a church, the church that says, I don't have a need of God. You know, she trusted on her religion and on her wealth and on her gold and silver, which is a type of selfishness, which is where the demon strength is at. Well, once these um demons were removed from these people because uh uh uh Babylon the great is judged during this 1290 days and all of these demons are locked up. He said Babylon becomes a cage to every foul bird and to every foul spirit. So now these people see this is how merciful God is. If you look at this, God is pleading with mankind today to get saved so that they can be spared. See, God is coming to the earth. Uh Jesus Christ is going to rule and reign on the earth for a thousand years. But the earth is contaminated. Everything that has breath is contaminated with demonic things. And just like the children of Israel, when they went into the promised land, they were told to kill every old man, every old woman, every man, every woman, every child, every uh goat, every everything that had breath of life had to be destroyed. Why? Because those Canaanites were so demonized that everything was infected with demonic things. And if the Israelites, like they did, refused to clean it all completely, one generation later, they were all demonized. They were all contaminated. So here we see that God comes in and he says, "My church has the power to bring deliverance. He that calls upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered, shall be saved." This is what the job of the church should be. The job of the church is to break the power of Satan over people so that their eyes can be open and they can see the salvation that God has given them. Okay? And and there's a church that Leo say church that they have taken out of their hymns and songs book the blood because it's offensive. Hello. Who do you think is offended by the blood of Jesus? The demons, they're the ones that don't want to hear about the blood. That's what gets them out. And so this church has had a reputation for centuries. And so this church now says, "Hey, we don't need God. We have our own traditions. We have everything. And so these people have to go through this time of of persecution and trials until finally the power, the demonic power that blinds him is removed. And then we see here through the mercy of God that even though they missed the gospel, even though they missed the the the witness of the two witnesses and miss what they had to do, here come the time where now Satan is going to be judged. And what God does? God locks up every foul demon spirit to give these people one more chance for salvation. And guess what? They receive it because they refuse to accept the mark of the beast. And in Revelation 15 uh 2 and three, we see that they have the they're mingled with fire. That means these people were saved through through hell, through trials. And and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image, and over his mark and over the number of his name. They're standing on this sea of glass, which is around the temple or outside of the court. They are given harps so that they can worship God. The Jews sing the song of Moses, a servant of God. The Christian sings the song of the lamb. And then on verse eight, the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power. And no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed. And we talked about last week about the mark of the beast and the 666, which is 666* 2 is 1,332 days. That's the whole period of time where the temple is vacated. In other words, there there's no um godly representative. That's the time of the antichrist. And then we said that the church was formed by the number 153. Songs of Elohim or children of life have a numerical value in Hebrew. The numerical value of 153. So these two here belong to that number 53 except they could not be saved until their strongholds were removed and now they're not able to enter into the temple. Why? Because 42 days have to take place where the plagues of the judgment of God come. So they are outside like on a sea of glass mingle with fire and that is where their judgment takes place. Remember the church has to go into a judgment of fire. Jes uh Paul says that all of us must appear before the judgment seat of Christ. The judgment seat of Christ is a a judgment of fire, but it's not of salvation because he says you you're going to go through this fire and and that you may lose everything, but you're still going to be saved even by the uh the the the skin of your thieves teeth that you don't have no skin there. But salvation is guaranteed in Jesus. But there had to be a a a a judgment because in heaven all of us are going to have a rank or a standing. And we're judged according to faith according to what we did with the salvation that God gave us. So when we died, before we're taken into the temple of God, we go into this labor where we're judged. And the judgment comes and and basically the question is going to be, did you build silver uh uh silver, gold, or precious stone? Or do you build with wood, hay, and stubble? Because it's fire. The fire is going to judge you. Everything you did with a good heart, with a good motive, and you did it for the Lord, all of that is going to survive. Jesus said you cannot give a cup of water to somebody in my name that you will not receive a reward for it. But everything you did for self vanity, you wanted to be the preacher, you wanted to be the double and and and it it was because of self that is wood s the fire is going to burn it. So we get our rankings at that time. Well, we saw that when the 144,000 uh were raised up along with the two witnesses and the people from the first half, they also had to appear before a fire to receive the rewards of the prophets and of the servants and of the different people that were there. Well, it's the same thing with these people. Now, they're going before this this sea uh that is mingle with fire and they're going to receive the uh uh their reward. Okay. Then um let me see where were we at. Okay, we're on Revelation 15. Now let's move to um uh Revelation 14. I want to get to the New Jerusalem. So I'm kind of rushing a little bit. Revelation 14:17-20. Revelation 14:17, 18, 19, 20. Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven. He also having a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the altar who had power over the fire. And he cried out with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Trust in your sharp sicle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for the grapes are fully ripe." So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth and threw threw it into the grain wine presses of the wrath of God. And the wine press was trampled outside the city and blood came out of the wine presses up to the horses bridles for 1,600 furongs. Now you see that this is the final judgment. At the end of the 1,290 days, he comes with a sickle first and reaps everybody that has not taken the mark of the beast, they're taken to the outside of the temple where there's a sea of glasses mingled with fire and that's where they do their judgment. They cannot go into the temple until this last plague is done. Then God says, "Now the angel takes the same sickle and is going to gather everybody that has the mark of the beast to a place where they're going to be judged." Now, we know that this is going to take place in Jerusalem. Once the antichrist takes complete power and he has all of the nations of the world under his control, his number one job is to keep Jesus from coming back down into the temple. So 200 million men said that will come from the east. The river Euphrates is right up. He's going to have armies march the what is called Israel today, the Judeian hills. That place is going to be filled with millions of soldier covering every square inch of the earth at that time and their job is going to be to prevent Jesus from coming down. Now we know that uh uh he's going to come through the eastern gate and so today because uh any Jewish high priest would defile himself if he would walk on a cemetery. So the Muslims had put a huge cemetery in front of the east gate. They blocked the gate three 400 years ago to keep this uh prophecy from being fulfilled. And then they put a huge cemetery and they've been burying people there for 800 900 years because they know that when Jesus come they're trying to stop him. So this is the idea here. the antichrist is going to bring everybody into there. And then as we will read later when Jesus comes down just the word that he speaks is going to happen that everybody I don't know how they're going to do it but it says the blood is going to fall down roll down those hills up to a horse's bridal. So you got to have a great amount of people all bleeding at the same time. And so the only thing that I can imagine is your jugular is God when he just sends word just like the angel of death or something and it happens and they are they are all destroyed. Everybody except for the antichrist and the false prophet who are taken alive. But I want to give you an insight into what the judgments of God are. Go to Revelation 16 and then this is where where the the judgment is going to happen to them. And I want to give you an insight into how this judgment goes. Revelation 16 verse one. Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, go and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth. Now this is going to complete the judgment of God. Verse two, the first uh angel went and poured out his bow upon the earth, and a power and losome sword came upon the man who had the mark of the beast and those who worship his image. Now, let me give you the insight here. In Bible days, leprosy was a type of sin. If you remember the woman that had the issue of blood, she was unclean. She couldn't come to Jesus. Any person who had any type of skin disease, uh, leprosy was considered unclean. As a matter of fact, the person who had that disease as he was walking, wherever he was walking, had to cry out real loud when anybody was around, unclean, unclean, so that people would stay as far away from them as possible. This is why the the lepous guy uh uh Jesus went and touched him. He violated every rule that you could think of as a high priest. He was contaminating himself. But you see Jesus, he he he uh he's the antidote. You know, when when the woman, they were bringing the widow's son and everybody was crying. He was going into the I think it was um Mahanea. He was going into the the town and he wouldn't have been able to minister in the Sabbath place in in in the synagogue in the Sabbath place by touching a dead body. As a matter of fact, every priest on the town there could not be involved. Uh the law only allow for either the husband of the wife or the father or a brother if a child or if a woman died to be touched by a male because a male will be uh uh unclean. So the law allowed the the the the man of the house to do this and so that um uh he would be unclean for a week or two whatever the period of cleansing was. So this woman being a widow that means she didn't have a husband that means that there was nobody in the town that was take willing to take and defile themsself by wrapping up the dead body of her son. You have to see this. Jesus comes in, sees the multitude coming out. They're all crying and weeping. Here's this woman that probably had to have another woman or somebody else get involved and inbalm in the body. And Jesus goes up in there and reaches and touches the boy. You see, if that boy doesn't come back to life, Jesus cannot meditate anymore until he goes through the purification ritual according to the law of Moses. And this is what we have to see. the the the God is willing to touch no matter how contaminated we are to bring it. But something different has happened here. When you receive the mark of the beast, you get this sword which smells as leprosy. And so that is an incurable disease because watch what it says here. Uh it says that when the uh uh this came uh the the sword came so the people let me read from you Leviticus 13 4 and 5. Leviticus 13:4 and5 says then the priest shall isolate the one who has the sword for seven days and the priest shall examine him on the seventh day. And this is what this is a type of the first uh bowl is poured out on humankind. All of the people had the mark of the beast now have leprosy sword the smell and God waits seven days. See after seven days God the priest would come in to see the condition of the sword. Then what happening over here is because they have received the mark of the vast. Let me give you a secret. During this time that just started guess what's going on? We are being married to the lamb during this time. See the the whole church had to wait until be completed. Had to wait until the church until low until since the end of the 1290 days. All of the saints are finally up. We are being married to the lamb of God. We're becoming one with Jesus. He's becoming our husband and we are the bride of Christ. Guess what? All of the people that accepts the mark of the beast are now the bride of Satan. And they are now becoming the bride of Satan. This is why there's no wiggle room over here. So, while we're up there in heaven, these people are now receiving the judgment. Now, bowl number two in Revelation 16:3. Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man, and every living creature in the sea died. Now, here uh it talking about the contamination of the blood. Remember the Bible says that the life is in the blood. These people now have the blood of a dead man. They have the blood of Satan. Basically, they have become one with Satan. So, the seven days pass and other seven days pass. Revelation um uh 16:4-7. Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and the springs of waters. They became blood. And I heard the angel of the waters saying, "You are righteous, O Lord, the one who is and who was and who is to come, because you have judged these things, for they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink, for it is their just due." And I heard another uh from the altar say, "Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are your judgment." Now see how everything it relates to the sore and to the blood and to become in the blood. What what give life to the body to the physical body is blood. You cannot live without blood. You need a certain amount of blood. When Jesus Christ hung on the cross okay because the Bible says the flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. When Jesus Christ hung on a cross, he was bleeding from the crown of his head because of the thorns that they were driven into his uh face. He was bleeding from his face because he was struck. They hit him on the face. He was uh bleeding from the face. They pulled his beard. He was bleeding from the back because they hit him with 39 lashes that tore uh his back and his shoulder. He was bleeding from his wrist where he was nailed to the cross. He was bleeding from his feet where where he was nailed to the cross. And finally they they took a lance a spear and they pierced his side to where water and blood just flushed out from him. The body of Jesus when he was in the cross was drained of the blood. The Bible tells us that through the eternal spirit that's the Holy Spirit that blood was cut. the life that was in the blood, not the blood itself because the life was in the blood. The spirit of a man is in the is in the blood. So that that life is what was taken up to heaven by the Holy Spirit and it was taken to the ark of the covenant and he was anointing the mercy seat on the ark of the covenant. So when Jesus rose up and went to heaven, the life that Jesus had his new body, because flesh, remember Jesus went up to to Thomas, it says, "Touch me. I'm not a ghost. I have flesh and I have bones." You see, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, but flesh and bones will. So the question is, what power the the body of Jesus Christ? That's the word of God, the light, the energy. The word of God is lifegiving energy. Hebrews 4:12, for the word of God is alive and powerful. That means the word of God is lifegiving energy. The word became life. And that life is what gives us now life. When we go to heaven, when people think that when you go in the rapture, you don't die. I got news for you. I experienced the rapture. I have it on the beginning of the book there. And when you see Jesus in his holiness in this corrupted body, believe me, you die. Your body shakes and trembles when when Isaiah said, "So the glory of the Lord says, "Oh, oh wo, it's me. I'm undone." That's exactly what happens to your body. Your physical body, the blood that is in it just falls apart continuously. But immediately we're transformed because the spirit man which is connected to the holy spirit because the bible says that the spirit the holy spirit is like a deposit that is in our spirit and when Jesus come that holy spirit that is in us as a deposit shines forth like a light like a bright light and that's what energizes a new body that's what causes the body to become alive and energized. The blood we don't have except for the blood, hallelujah, that is on the ark that speaks of the life of God. That is the energy out of here. And there was a light that would shine all the way through the through through the through the temple. That's called the shakina glory. The visible light of the glory of God. Okay. That blood now is what gives us life. Okay. Now these people who are dead, what is it that is giving them death? the blood, the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs, the corrupted blood, the file blood. So you can see the opposite. While we are in heaven being married to the lamb, we don't have blood in us. Our bodies, physical bodies is going to have the life of the energy of the spirit. These people are dead. They're in corrupted polluted blood. Then he goes on to the fourth bowl. Revelation 16 verse 8 and 9. And we read there uh then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun and power was given to him to scorch men with fire and men were scorched with great heat and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues and they did not repent and give him glory. So why is it that the sun is turning out on all these people? Well, guess what? at the root of all idol worship. It's called Baal worship or sun worship. All of the the people that have worshiped the sun for all of these years are now being judged by the sun. It's it's tremendous heat. It's scorches that they blasphe God. Okay. Move on to the Revelation 16:10. The fifth bowl. Then the fifth angel poured out his ball on the throne of the beast and his kingdom became full of darkness and they know their tongues because of the pain. They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores and did not repent of their sin. So this is the the continued judgment. Notice that bright darkness. Now what I believe is taking place here. I'll just take a little side trip here. Is uh when when uh Noah's flood took place, the earth was a total and complete different earth that we have today. I believe that um that during the days of Noah, this is why people live 960 years and and those lifespan. Most of the water that we have on the earth today was around the earth. It was like a huge canopy of water. So the earth was like a greenhouse. We had this thick band. Uh Job speaks about it. Swaddling band it's called. And it was clear. So you could see light. You could see it. I believe that this is how the ancients knew the stars. See the stars even though they're very very far away. The water if you put water in a glass it magnifies things. I believe that this water canopy that was over the earth allowed the stars to be view a lot closer. So like a huge magnifying like a huge glass. So that's why they could see the constellation and they they could read what the constellations meant because a constellation from Virgo that speaks about the virgin birth all the way to Leo which talks about Jesus the the lion of the tribe of Judah coming at the end. That's why they could see all of that. This is why they could also uh we know that the Peruvian peoples they uh in and and in in the hills they drove animals that were so far apart that from the earth you cannot even see it that was there. You have to go in a plane very high to see them. Well, they could do that because probably this water canopy uh before the days of Noah reflected. You could actually if the angle was just right, it became like a mirror when the light is shining at an angle and you could see actually the earth where you was. And I think that this is how a lot of these people did that and knew that certain lakes look like a rabbit. Uh there's a lake there that if you look at it from out of space looks like the head of a rabbit. And guess what the name meant on the original uh name? A rabbit. How could these people know that this lake look like a rabbit when the only way that you could see it not even from a plane you had to go almost into outer space? Well, I believe that this was the case. Okay. when uh uh the flood of Noah says that the springs of the of the deep were broken that means the seams of the earth. Okay. When that was open since the earth is is fire on the inside was melted a lot of heat reach out which caused the water to condense and fall into the earth. This is what happened in the days of Noah. Now when since the earth at that time had very few mountains maybe 2,000 3,000 feet highest. Okay. So this water all fell down on the earth in 40 days. And what happens is Previous Next Home

HEALING FOR THE BROKENHEARTED part 1 The objective of this teaching is to reveal how Jesus Christ restores the authority that was lost in the Garden of Eden and how that authority directly relates to healing the brokenhearted. By examining Scripture, the lesson seeks to expose Satan’s deceptive “programming” and “conditioning” that keep believers bound, and to equip Christians to walk in the fullness of Christ’s authority, free from rejection, fear, and destructive patterns. < Back HEALING FOR THE BROKENHEARTED part 1 Pastor Marcos Marrero July 1, 2004 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to reveal how Jesus Christ restores the authority that was lost in the Garden of Eden and how that authority directly relates to healing the brokenhearted. By examining Scripture, the lesson seeks to expose Satan’s deceptive “programming” and “conditioning” that keep believers bound, and to equip Christians to walk in the fullness of Christ’s authority, free from rejection, fear, and destructive patterns. Synopsis: This teaching explores the authority of Jesus Christ and how it brings healing to the brokenhearted. From the beginning, humanity was given dominion by God, but that authority was stolen by Satan through disobedience in the Garden of Eden. Jesus came to restore what was lost, granting believers the power to overcome every work of the enemy. The lesson highlights how religious leaders in Matthew 21 questioned Jesus’ authority, exposing a common tactic of Satan—causing people to doubt the authority of God’s Word. This same doubt weakens believers today, preventing them from walking in victory. Scripture makes clear that while Satan’s program is to steal, kill, and destroy, Jesus came to give abundant life. Yet many Christians remain bound because of Satan’s “programming” and “conditioning” in their hearts, whether through rejection, false teaching, generational patterns, or personal wounds. These hidden influences can produce double-mindedness, fear, and even self-destruction, blocking the flow of God’s blessings. Biblical examples such as Balaam and Balak (Revelation 2:14) show how compromise with false doctrine removes spiritual authority, while Paul’s warnings in 2 Timothy 3 remind us that not all who appear godly truly walk in God’s power. Ultimately, this teaching calls believers to recognize and break free from the enemy’s conditioning, to anchor their faith in the unshakable authority of Christ, and to receive the wholeness and peace Jesus provides. Inspired Teaching: We long for that day, dear Lord Jesus, when we'll finally meet you face to face and we'll be able to bow down before you, Father God, and personally give you h praise and glory for all that you have done for us. Thank you, Lord, in advance. Thank you for opening our ears to hear this morning. Thank you for granting us a heart that has understanding. Anoint your word this morning, Father God, that it may become food for our spirit, for our soul, and for our body. In Jesus name, I pray your blessing upon each and every person in this class this morning. Father, thank you for meeting every need of their heart. Father, in Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. Praise God. We're going to talk uh this morning in the concerning the authority of Jesus Christ, how it relates to healing of the broken heart. Our first lesson that we did, we dealt with the mechanics of what Jesus came to do. Jesus says, "I came to heal the brokenhearted." This is part of what Jesus came to do. That was lesson number one. In lesson number two, we dealt with the spirit of rejection. We found out that one of the tools that Satan uses the most against believers is rejection. And that goes all the way back to the garden when men was rejected because of his and her disobedient men and women disobeyed the word of God. Now today in this series of healing the brokenhearted or dealing with a broken heart, I want to focus into how Jesus uh uh has given us authority over all of the power of the enemy. And Satan uses everything that he can to keep us from exercising that authority. How many do you know that if you have authority to do something and that authority can be removed or taken from you then you you may have authority but it's no good to you if you cannot use it. I want to start with Matthew 21 verse 23. And I want you to see something from uh what happened to the children of Israel in Matthew 21:23. We read now when he Jesus came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people confronted him as he was teaching and said, "By what authority are you doing these things? And who gave you these this authority?" Now notice that it's the chief priests and the elders of the people. Now we need to understand that the children of Israel were programmed as if it were all the way from the beginning of time to accept the Messiah. Last week when we're dealing with the spirit of rejection as men and women were being kicked out of the garden just from their disobedience to the word, God said to Eve, "Your seed will crush the head of the serpent." So, ever since that time, mankind has been waiting for the seed of the woman or a son of a woman that would come up and would become like Adam was, but instead of failing like Adam would crush or defeat the enemy, would have the authority of God because what was lost in the garden was authority. God said to Adam and Eve, I give you dominion. and Satan stole that dominion. Okay? So, God promised, "I will res restore dominion to man." So, here comes Jesus. And I want you to put this into perspective. We know from John chapter 3 that Jesus was doing things that only God could do. We know that Nicodemus came to Jesus by night. Why? Because he was afraid of the chief priests and the elders. He came by night. And he says, "Rabbi, nobody, nobody can do the things that you do unless God be with him. Nobody can make bones grow. Nobody can take open eyes and and h, you know, blind eyes and open. Nobody can do that unless God is with him." And I want you to see that the chief elders and the and the priests saw the same thing that Nicodemus saw. But what happened? They questioned the authority. Why did they question the authority? Because Satan was able to program them to question the God, the authority of God. How many of us when we see a move of the Holy Spirit, immediately we begin to question, I wonder if this is really God or not? I mean, have you been there? You see something taking place? That's the first thing that comes into our mind. And it's a good thing because we need to to judge. We need to make decisions. But we need to understand that this is at the root of the problem. Now look what happens if you go down to right there in Matthew 21:23. Go 20 verses later 43. Jesus says, "Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it." Now what happened? because they questioned the authority of the very person that God had promised them that he would send them. God says, "I can't use you. So, I'm going to remove you and I'm going to give that to somebody else, which is us." Now, the reason why I put this into prospect into perspective is because now we're in the same boat. What if we begin to question the authority of God? Will Jesus come and said the kingdom is taken from you and given to somebody else? And you see and today uh a religious leader chief elders question that all the time. They question whether God really created the heavens and the earth in six days. They go through long dissertations about how we evolve or how the things were evolved. And there's all kinds of human rationing to question the authority of God. Because you see, if you can bring the authority of God in question, then our authority is questioned because we have no authority but that which God has given to us. Jesus said whatever you ask in my name will be gi will be done for you. So if we even have a question on the authority of Jesus, then the kingdom is not ours. You see kingdom is operating in power. That's that's what it is. Now, in your paper there, if everybody has a paper, I'd look up the dictionary, two words, two very simple words, and you will see how these words fit so perfectly into the the real that we're fighting with. The first word is program. We're all familiar with the word program. Here's there's four meanings that I got from the uh Webster's dictionary. Program. the first minute a brief statement or written outline of something. You know, when you go to uh uh to the church, you get a bulletin. That's basically your program as to what's going on, what's going to be happening. Number two, performance. There's always a program has built into it a performance, something that has to be done. Then number three, a plan of action. In other words, to accomplish what the program says. And number four, it's a sequence of coded instructions for a computer. And so the Bible says that Satan is the accuser of the brethren. So what I want you to say to see here is that Satan has a program against you, against your family, against your church, against your community, against the nation that you live in. You know what Satan's program is against you? Jesus uh uh briefly stated what the program is. I think it's John 10:10. The thief comes but to steal, to kill, and to destroy. Satan has a short program against each and every one of us. And that program says, I want to steal everything you have. I want to kill everything you have. I want to destroy everything that you have. in that program, he has a performance. He needs to perform on that. In other words, you can desire to steal somebody something that somebody has, but you can't have that unless you act upon it. So, Satan is actively acting upon you and me to steal and to kill and to destroy everything that God has given us. And we need to know that. We need to know that Satan does not take vacations. He doesn't rest in the Sabbath. He doesn't have pity or mercy. He's like the uh Terminator. He's bent, hellbent on destroying you every single moment of the day. That's all he thinks about how to activate the plan against you so that the plan of action so that he can steal. But the part that I want you to see here is a a sequence of coded instruction because this is where we get now to the human heart. You see, Satan knows knows without a doubt that when a person hears the gospel of Jesus Christ, he will accept the Lord. So he has a set of coded instruction that he's been passing down from generation to generation to generation that when you come into the place to where you're going to be blossom as if it were into the reality of the blessing because Jesus says Jesus short program for us is but I came that you may have life and have it in abundance. That's that's God's plan of action. That's what Jesus wants to perform on us. He wants us to have life and have it in abundance. This is the plan of action. This is what Jesus wants to perform of us. So when we accept the Lord Jesus Christ, Jesus sets in motion the blessings of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, goodness, gentleness, all of the good things of the spirit of God are set in motion. So Satan has a set of coded instruction that he has placed deep within each and every human heart. And as soon as we begin to be blessed, he begins to come against that push the button that would keep us from entering into the blessing. So if we do not have our broken hearts healed, we can never enter into the blessings of God. Because you see a broken heart like we deal uh uh is a heart that has been split. In in other words, the scripture there where where James James 1:7 and8 for let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord for he is a double-minded man. Satan's plan is to get you to be double-minded because if you're doubleminded, God's plan of action for your life cannot be brought into place. So you see the double-mindedness is simply two spirit, two personalities or two things motivating you. Remember how Jesus said to the disciples when he was telling them to pray, watch and pray. Jesus says the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Why? Because there is a imprinted coded program that Satan has in each and every one of each and every one of us heart that he is working on to bring about. And we need to understand unless we get that part of our heart healed, we can never receive or implement God's plan for our life. This is why Jesus says, "I came to heal the broken heart." The broken heart uh uh in in in James 17 and8 means a duplicate and we dealt with this on the last uh two lesson. When God created I need to repeat this for emphasis so that we understand when God created the human soul God made man out of a lump of clay. Then God who is a spirit breathe out of his spirit. breath came out of God's mouth. And as that breath came out, it went into the nostrils of of of of this lump of clay. And the Bible says that he became a living soul. Okay? This soul was a duplicate of God because soul and spirit are the same thing except soul has to do with the lives with the self life or with the personality. So that God created us to be a duplicate of himself. Let us make man in our image and after our likeness. So Satan and how did God created that duplication? By his word. See you cannot speak words without breath coming out of your mouth. So it was the very breath of God when God says let us make man man became a living soul. But Satan come in and say no. Did God say? Did God really say to Jesus is if you are the son of God? What? Questioning the authority of the word of God. So whenever we question the authority of the word of God, there's a split. There's a duplicate. Now there's one of us that lives in doubt and fear and there's one of us, the spirit that is willing. Okay. Now that leads me to the second word, condition. Remember program. It's a brief statement or written outline of something something to be performed performance to be activated with a plan of action or a sequence condition. Listen to put into a proper or desired condition. Now notice number two to adapt modify or mold to respond in a particular way. Many Christians live in so much grief and so much shame because they have been conditioned. They have been adopted. They have been modified to respond in a particular way. And I don't care how good you are, how much you bless God, how much Bible scripture you you you memorize, how much you read, how how much church attendance you go to. If you have been conditioned to respond in a particular way to a certain situation, all that Satan has to do is activate that against you and boom, you're there. Boom. Actually, you're there. If it's anger, you can have the nicest person in the world. You push that right button that says condition anger and you push that button and out goes that fuse and there went your testimony. It's the same way with every condition whether it's loss, whether it's fear, whether all of the things are there. Why? Because Satan somewhere along the line came in and adapted the plan that had God for you. He began to modify it by getting some people in your life. Oh, you're be a loser just like your dad or you'll never be. You'll be this or you'll be that or you'll be the other. And this begin to condition you to respond. See, this is why some people have a spirit of self-destruction upon them. They get blessed. They get the best job in the world. They buy a house and everything and there's something in there that is so miserable that condition that you'll never profit. You'll never be anything and they'll do everything that they can in the world to selfdestruct. Same way with marriage. Some people uh uh find the perfect man and woman that God has for them on their life and they do everything in the world to destroy that relationship. Why? Because they have been conditioned. They have been pre-programmed. They have been molded to respond. You'll never be a nobody. You don't deserve it. How many of us? Well, see, Jesus says, "I came to heal that part of your heart. So, you can't enjoy the blessings." When the woman got a hold of the of the hymn of his garment, Jesus could have just let it go and they kept going. Nobody needs to know. The Bible says Jesus did so many things. If it were written in the books, there wouldn't be enough room in the whole world to put it. Why did Jesus stop and say, "Hey, wait a minute." because he wanted that woman not only to have the healing but to have the peace that goes with the healing. He said, "My daughter, your faith has made you heal." That coin peace. We need to know that that God wants us to have that peace. Now Romans 7:20 is one that we used on the last section where we did says now if I do what I will not to do it is no longer I who do it but sin living in me. Okay. How many of you have seen a a movie or or show where here's the person and then he's got this little replica of himself here and it's got a halo and a is a little angel and then a replica of himself here with a bunch couple of horns and a and a pitchfork. And this is the angel Jew and the devil Jew. And and the angel Jew say, "Oh, no, no, no. You better don't do that. You know, that's not right." And they, "Oh, come on. let's do it, you know, and there's this this this struggle, you know, there is a duplicate of ourselves. And the Bible says very clearly that if when we're born again and we truly have a desire not to sin, if we continue to do, God is saying, you are programmed, you have been conditioned to do something by something that is within you. The Bible calls it sin. Sin that lives in us. that is just a duplicate of oursel who has been adapted or modified to sin, to hate, to lust, to fear, to all of these different spirits that are there. And God says it's not until Proverbs 11:9, until you know what you're up against. See, the reason why I taught last week on on on uh and I didn't even know it was going to be Father's Day uh uh that lesson. I didn't even think about it, but uh uh rejection because that is the key to everything. Rejection. If we can truly understand that God loves us, that when we sin, God sees that duplicate that is in the image of Satan. The duplicate that has been created in us is the one that's doing all those things. And that God truly in his heart is saying, "If you just give me a shot of your heart, I will break that thing off of you and I will recreate that duplicate that I've already placed in your born again spirit, I will make it to come alive in you." Okay. Now, let's go to Revelation 2:14. And I want to put it now into action to the church to where we are today. Remember in the book of Revelation, Jesus appears to John and he is dictating to John seven letters, two different seven churches. And everybody that knows anything about Scathology, uh that's the study of the things of the end. They know that this is the condition of the churches on the end times, the time that we're living in today. Each letter represents the condition of the church. And I want you to see in in verse 14 what Jesus says. But I have a few things against you because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balum who taught Bailac to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality. What is the doctrine of Balor? The doctrine of balance is probably one of the greatest tools that Satan uses to take away the authority that Jesus has given to each and every one of us. The if if you read this the story of Balum, Balum was a prophet. Now, let me say this and and please listen. The fact that a person has a gift from God doesn't make that person uh uh right with God. Okay? I I I don't know which other way to put it. What I'm trying to say is that for example a a person that has given the gift of a good voice is a great singer or a person that's very talented of the arts. You can use that gift for good or for bad. Yes. Okay. You have a good voice, you can sing real good bad music or you can real good good music. You see? So there are gift. Balam was definitely a man who was gifted. Balam is a man who could see into the spirit realm and everybody knew it when the children of Israel are coming and remember God has promised a promised land to them. They're coming. So Bailo who is the king over there wants to destroy them. But Balac who is a very demonic individual knows that without a written program an act something that a plan of action he cannot destroy the children of Israel. He says now they are blessed of God. So they are blessed in the spirit realm. So I cannot take I cannot take them on on the physical realm because they have a spiritual backing. So I need to neutralize that spiritual authority that they have before I can take them on. Now why am I saying this? Because you have a spiritual backing. You have as a born again believer your name is written in heaven and Satan's plan of action is not going to work against you. Okay, if it if it confronts you here in the natural. So Bala says to Balam, "Okay, I need a a short program, something that I can act on. Since you're a man of God, since you look into the spirit, I want you to curse them. And as soon as you curse him, I'll take him on." So he says, "Okay, let me see." So Balon goes over there, he starts open his mouth, and nothing but blessings come on. What are you doing? Three times this is repeated. So Bailo could not take on the children of Israel because he didn't have a program or have an action. So what did Bailac do? He offered enough to Balam and Balam finally said, "You know what? You can't fight these people in the physical realm. They have the spiritual backing of God. You have to get them. You have to have their authority removed from them. And the way to do that is you go into the spirit realm and you get them to do something that will challenge the very authority that God has given them. And then you can take him on. Now notice what I said. It says uh Revelation 2:14, Balon who taught Bailo to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel. He taught him. He taught this guy. He said, "I can't curse him for you, but I can show you how you can take their authority away from them." What's the stumbling block? Eat food sacrifice to idol. You know what that means to us today? That means taking heed or paying attention to demonic doctrine. You see, this is why it's so important, my friend, that even what you watch on TVN, that even what you what you watch in Christian television, that even what you hear, because if there's a Bum over there who is really gifted of God and is sold out for the the the great uh castles and palace and their fame and all this fortune, these people are going to come in and they are going to present you a gospel that is not the true gospel of Jesus Christ. And when that gets you into a position where you begin to doubt the authority of Christ, then Satan had you here in the realm, his program against you is going to begin to work. But we have to be very careful because of look at second Timothy. Uh let's go there real quick. Second Timothy uh 3 and we'll read one to five. This is Paul warning us way ahead of time. But know this that in the last days perilous times will come. I want you to to to hold on to the word in your mind there. Perilous uh uh uh means times of stress. Okay? For men will be lovers of themselves. Now Balam can be put in that category. Balam was offered an awful lot of money and fame and fortune. He was later killed, by the way, by the Israelites. But he was offered lots and lots of things. And unfortunately many maybe not many I won't judge but I know for a fact that there are leaders within the realm of of the church within here the United States people that we look up to and stuff like that that I have no doubt have sold themselves to uh this you know the the fame and the fortune and the things to where you know you cannot even get close to these guys when they come around you know they're like superstars. charge uh and and and because of that lovers of money, boasters, proud blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiven, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, hotty, lovers of pleasure rather than loving of lovers of God. And look what it says in verse 5. This is what I want you to see. Having a form of godliness. This is not talking about the the rock stars, my friend. I don't think any of you here ever uh will associate the the the punk or or or the rappers or these people as having a form of godliness. You know, Madona doesn't have a form of governance and Britney Spears and all these other people. So, he's talking about religious leaders. Had to be. Yes. He cannot be talking about anybody else. It had to be talking about somebody who is giving you a word, you know, somebody who is influence or chaping what is going on in the churches today because you know uh uh if we all feed from the same trough uh uh uh you poison the water, everybody's going to get poisoned. This is why it's so important sometimes you need to fast certain things like that. allow only God to speak to you through his word and through your prayer and through your meditation. Sometimes you need to cleanse your mind from from the influences going around and stuff like that. Okay? I'm in a form of godliness by den remember we're talking about the precondition program because what happens is if I can bring it down a little bit here to earth when the doctor says to you you may have cancer and if it's there on that part it may be inoperable you may die right then and there the authority of Jesus Christ and says you are the Lord who heals me if it is not safely secured Satan will steal that healing from you the minute that you die. So, we need to have that that that that program of God in our hearts is what I'm trying to say. Instead of the program of the devil, we need to be preconditioned by God instead of being preconditioned by by by the devil. You know, when your car gets hit at 70 miles an hour and all of a sudden you're spinning around, what comes out of your mouth is something that have to be there. You don't have time to think it's going to be all right. We're going to be okay. We're going to be fine. Nothing's going to happen. See, that only comes out if it's already been put in there. Thank God that he put it there. But we need to do that for every aspect of our lives. That means we need to and and as the weeks come, uh I I want to make sure I'm going to give you all of the tools that you need to have the Lord do a really selfch check of your soul so that you can whatever demonic program is there. You know, many of us is generational divorce is a generational curse. Uh today people will come and say oh there's no such a thing as generational curses. How Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. That's bail right there. You know if read what the curses of the law is. Sicknesses is part of the curse of the law. If we have been redeemed from the curse of the law automatically without without us doing anything. Why do Christians get sick? Why do the New Testament said if you get sick go to the elders have anoint you with oil. Haven't break the curse. That's right. Okay. The curses have to be broken. The program of Satan within us have to be broken. And I don't know, you know, we don't know when we minister to people, the hardest thing is to know what to do. But we do know that the principles of the word of God work. And if we put the principles of the word of God and if we do the prayers and things, God works. God makes it work. You know, if we're submitted, if we're willing, and sometimes it takes a while. Satan may have been working in that program within your family for a thousand years. They might if you could go back a thousand generation I mean a 100 generation uh in your life you could find out that this has been in your line all the way through and it might take some revelation from God. It may take certain things you need to do but we the good thing is that Jesus says I came to heal the broken heart. I came to take the two things that are divided and to make him one again. God wants to make us whole in every area. uh 2 Thessalonians 5 I think it says that that that your whole spirit that your soul and that your body may be kept blameless may be made all one. That is what God is wanting to do. And then he says and from such people turn away. Turn away. He says turn away from such people. What such people? People who are acting out of the flesh or selfish motivation. Let me tell you the soul has power. Psychics that operate in the you know psychic and soul is the same thing. Okay. Psychic that's a word for selfife. Okay. There is power in the supernatural realm and you can operate in that realm. You can go to a psychic or you can uh uh get new age uh uh books. You can get all the things with incantation and you will find out this is why wikah has so many bowlers especially young people because young people want to see power. Young people want to see something that's real. So they go for this stuff. They put a curse on somebody and that curse works. I heard of people that told us, I couldn't believe it when I put a curse on this person for her hair to fall out because they were jealous and envious of her and her hair begin to falling out, man. They were like, "Woo, this stuff it works. There's power there." But the problem with the the power in the psychic or or in the solish realm is that that is the supernatural realm where Satan operates. And Satan has stuff in you. And you get into that thinking, "Well, I can just use this power for good." Guess what? Satan is going to get your button and he's going to bound you more than ever before because this is how it works. That's how he does. So, we need to elevate ourselves. Get out of the psychic or the supernatural or the solish realm and only trust in the spirit realm or the the the Holy Spirit. Jesus said you will not need nobody to teach you. But when the Holy Spirit, the spirit of truth comes upon you, you will know what to do. When we separate ourself by what makes sense to the eyes, we will know what to do. That's what he's saying. Now, I'll close here. Hebrews 12:26-29 talks about that God wants to remove everything that is not eternal. 1 Corinthians 13:13. Uh uh but these things remain, faith, hope, and love. And the greater is love. when you say to God and this will move on into tonight. Uh I won't be here next week but there will be a class Fred is going to be covering uh for me and he's dealing uh with one of the areas that I have taught him that we're dealing. So he'll be here so please be here. I got to feel for a pastor that's having a a bypass thing done next week and tonight. I got to go there tonight too but I won't be here next week. But the week after that, when I get back, I'm going to get with the areas that as you begin to ask the Lord to remove that satanic programming and conditioning that we have all been brought up to, there's going to be a fire. There's going to be because our our God is a consuming fire. So, I want you to meditate on that scripture because we're going to deal with the scripture next time. Okay? Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray your blessing upon each and every one of your children here. I thank you for loving them, for keeping them. Thank you, Father God, for teaching us how to be set free from any control that the enemy may have over us. That we may truly and in all things glorify Jesus, the name that is above every name, the name of the only begotten son who died to deliver us from our sins. In Jesus name we thank you Lord. Amen.

I HAVE CHOSEN The objective of this teaching is to reveal the power and responsibility of choice as given by God, showing that every believer has been granted the freedom to choose the way of truth or the way of deception. By examining Scripture, it emphasizes how our decisions open doors that affect our spiritual condition, eternal destiny, and daily walk with Christ. The lesson seeks to guide believers toward consistently choosing God’s truth, walking in His statutes, and clinging to the covering of Jesus Christ for strength, holiness, and victory. I HAVE CHOSEN Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of this teaching is to reveal the power and responsibility of choice as given by God, showing that every believer has been granted the freedom to choose the way of truth or the way of deception. By examining Scripture, it emphasizes how our decisions open doors that affect our spiritual condition, eternal destiny, and daily walk with Christ. The lesson seeks to guide believers toward consistently choosing God’s truth, walking in His statutes, and clinging to the covering of Jesus Christ for strength, holiness, and victory. Synopsis: In I Have Chosen, Pastor Marcos Marrero teaches from Psalm 119:30, highlighting the radical gift of choice that God has given to humanity since the beginning of creation. While history and nations often seek to strip people of their freedom, God created man in His image with the ability to choose, first demonstrated in Adam’s choice in the Garden. Though Adam failed, God’s plan of redemption through Christ offers believers the covering of His righteousness and the continual opportunity to walk in truth. The message underscores that being born again does not remove the daily need to choose. As long as we live in mortal bodies, we face temptations and consequences from wrong decisions. Yet God, who has already chosen to love us and provide salvation through Christ’s blood, calls us to walk in the light and open the right doors of obedience and fellowship. Using Psalm 119:25–32, Pastor Marrero draws parallels between choices and doors, teaching that opening our hearts to Christ leads to life, strength, and freedom, while wrong choices open doors to destruction. The psalmist’s prayers—seeking revival, understanding, truth, and strength—become a model for believers to cling to God’s testimonies and run in the path of His commandments. The lesson concludes with a call to embrace God’s way of truth wholeheartedly, knowing that He enlarges our hearts to receive His wisdom and grace. Ultimately, the believer’s life is shaped not by the world’s restrictions, but by the eternal liberty of choosing Christ daily. Inspired Teaching: Psalm 119:30 “I have chosen the way of truth; Your judgments I have laid before me.” Choice is one of the most, if not the most radical concept that has ever been introduced to mankind. I know that many of us here in the west take this concept of choice for granted sometimes. But if we take a sober look at the history of mankind, we will come to the conclusion that the majority of humanity never had much of a choice as far as to how they wanted to conduct their lives. Even today, there are many that are born in nations that refuse to give them a choice, be it freedom of movement, freedom of religion, or even, economic freedom. If you are born today into a religion that proclaims that to depart from such religion is a crime that is punishable by death, you clearly do not have much of a religious choice, that is, if you want to go on living. You would be surprise to know how many nations today forbid the right of their citizens to choose which God they want to worship. And if you are a Christian in certain parts of Iraq today, you will be forced to renounce Christ and convert to Islam, and if not, you will die, even if your family had lived in those areas as Christians for hundreds of years. That is the history of humanity in a nut shell, seems like there is always somebody who thinks that he knows what is better for everybody else, and for some reason they are the ones that end up with the power to lord it over everybody else. From a biblical perspective let us take a look as to where does the right to choose originate from. Genesis 2:16-17 “And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, ‘Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.’” Even before Eve was created, the first man, who was created in the image of God, was given a choice; everything was made available to him except one, for he was forbidden to partake of the tree of dead. God is sovereign, that means that He does whatever He chooses to do. Adam was created in the image of God, so he was made a sovereign creature. The difference between Adam and God, is that God is Good, so that God can never choose to do wrong, however, even though Adam was made sovereign, he was also naked, that means that he had not yet been clothed with God’s eternal goodness and immortality, since he had not yet partaken of the tree of life, therefore he is forbidden to partake of that which can kill him. But if Adam partakes of the tree of life first, he makes the tree of death obsolete. For the tree of life offers to cover Adam with God’s goodness and immortality. Which by the way is what Jesus covers us with. Romans 13:12, 14 “The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on (clothe ourselves with) the armor of light...But put on (cover ourselves with) the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.” This is why when we are born again, that is Jesus becomes the covering for our nakedness, God considers us good and without sin. 1 John 3:9 “Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed (Jesus our covering) remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.” That is because as far as God is concerned, when we came before His throne and confessed our sins before Him, He killed us, for the soul that sins shall surely die. But since we came before His throne in the name of Jesus, the death of Jesus on the cross is imputed to us, and our sins are forgiven, and Jesus covers us with His goodness and His eternal life. But even after we become born again, we still have to make choices, for as long as we remain in our mortal bodies that we inherited from Adam, we will always be plagued by our propensity to sin. 1 John 1:8 “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” So that from the spiritual perspective God only sees the atoning blood of Jesus when He looks at us, for His seed, God’s Son, remains in us, therefore we cannot sin. But from the physical perspective we still have to make choices, and wrong choices bring bad consequences. 1 John 1:7 “But if we walk in the light (here is our choice) as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” So that as born-again believers, the choices that we make will determine what our condition will be in any given circumstance. God already made His choice; He chose to love us, for He is love. He provided for us the cleansing agent, which is the blood of Jesus. Now it is up to us to either walk in the light, which is the revelation of His salvation to us, or we can choose to follow after the desires of our flesh, and fall into the other choice that God has made for those who reject His free offer of grace and salvation. Jeremiah 34:17 “Therefore thus says the Lord: ‘You have not obeyed Me in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother and everyone to his neighbor. Behold, I proclaim liberty to you,’ says the Lord— ‘to the sword, to pestilence, and to famine! And I will deliver you to trouble among all the kingdoms of the earth.’” Isn’t it amazing that while the world is seeking to enslave men, and to deprive them of choice, and to keep them captive, God is in the business of freedom of choice. Even when enlightened men, those who should know better, for they have tasted of the freedom that comes from knowing God—turn their backs on God’s grace and love—it is their choice that God gives them the freedom to fall into, no matter how bad their choices are for them. In our opening text, the eight verses of Psalm 119, verses 25–32, correspond with the Hebrew letter Daleth, which means door. A door is a place of entrance, no one can be born again unless he first opens the door of his heart to let the Lord in. Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me.” So that the choices that we make open doors through which we will have to transverse, whether we like it or not, so that it becomes very important that we understand where the doors lead that we open by the choices that we make. Psalm 119:25 “My soul clings to the dust; Revive me according to Your word.” We open the door to our Lord’s salvation when we come to the realization that we cannot save ourselves. My soul clings to the dust, so we seek the salvation that is prescribed in God’s Word. How does God Word say that we are to be saved? Psalm 119:26 “I have declare my ways (confessed my sins), and You answered me (You saved me); teach me Your statutes.” Why do we need to learn His statutes? Because our choices open doors, and now that we are saved we do not want to open doors that are not in our best interest. We want to make choices that align with the plans that He has for our lives. Revelation 3:7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, ‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens.’” We want the doors that the Lord opens to remain open, and we want the doors that the Lord closes to remain close. In order for that to happen we need to learn His statutes and make the choices that they prescribe. Psalm 119:27 “Make me understand the way of Your precepts; so shall I meditate on Your wonderful works.” Understanding is what we are trying to gain from this lesson. If we can be made vividly aware of the ill consequences of unwise choices, we would think twice before we make them. Do we really want liberty to fall to the sword, to pestilence, and to famine? I say that is not a liberty that I want. O Lord, please close that door and keep me as far away from it as possible! We can only pray that prayer with real faith if we are made aware, that is, we understand the perils that those wrong choices can bring into our lives. Psalm 119:28 “My soul melts from heaviness; strengthen me according to You word.” Imagine that! It seems like the psalmist knew a thing or two about wrong choices, his words seem to cry out, not my will O Lord, not my will, but according to Your Word! Psalm 119:29 “Remove from me the way of lying, and grant me Your law graciously.” A lie is always the perversion of truth. Since we desire the truth of His Word, we need to stay focus on His law, or Word of grace. It is not by works that we have done, but by His grace that we are saved! Psalm 119:31 “I cling to Your testimonies; O Lord, do not put me to shame!” Once the right choice was made in verse 30: I have chosen the way of truth, now we cling to His promised salvation, and as we do, we will not be put to shame. Psalm 119:32 “I will run the course of Your commandments, for You shall enlarge my heart.” What a beautiful promise we conclude with, a heart that is big enough to receive tremendous enlightenment, and yet, a heart that is able to remain humble and accessible to God at all times. I want to be like that! Don’t you? Previous Next Home

THE END OF DAYS To help believers understand the biblical perspective of the end of days by reflecting on both personal mortality and God’s ultimate judgment on the nations. The lesson aims to awaken spiritual sensitivity to the frailty of human life, the urgency of repentance, and the necessity of seeking God’s mercy in the midst of His wrath, so that we may be prepared for our individual end and the final culmination of history. THE END OF DAYS Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: To help believers understand the biblical perspective of the end of days by reflecting on both personal mortality and God’s ultimate judgment on the nations. The lesson aims to awaken spiritual sensitivity to the frailty of human life, the urgency of repentance, and the necessity of seeking God’s mercy in the midst of His wrath, so that we may be prepared for our individual end and the final culmination of history. Synopsis: The teaching begins with Lamentations 4:18, drawing attention to the reality of endings, both personal and cosmic. From early life experiences of life and death cycles, the message reminds us that awareness of mortality is ingrained in human existence. Psalm 39 provides David’s prayer for God to make him aware of his end, showing that recognition of life’s brevity fosters humility, value for life, and readiness for eternity. This awareness combats the human tendency toward indifference. David confessed how silence and inaction in the face of evil only stirred sorrow within him until prayer moved him to action. His prayer was not for strength but for revelation of his own frailty, emphasizing dependence on God. The prophet Habakkuk’s lament mirrors this struggle. He cried out against injustice, perplexed at God’s silence and His use of even more wicked nations to execute judgment. Yet God revealed to Habakkuk His larger plan: both Israel and the nations would face judgment, culminating in the dreadful end of days. This revelation shifted Habakkuk’s prayer from complaint to intercession: “In wrath, remember mercy” (Hab. 3:2). The lesson concludes by urging believers today to view the chaos and lawlessness around us not only as signs of the end but as opportunities to proclaim God’s grace. Instead of fixating on judgment, we are called to embrace God’s heart—that none should perish but all come to repentance. The final exhortation is that while the end of days is certain and God’s wrath inevitable, His mercy is equally available through Christ, who bore judgment at the cross for all who believe. Inspired Teaching: Lamentations 4:18 “They tracked our steps so that we could not walk in our streets, our end was near; our days were over, for our end had come.” Throughout the history of mankind there has always been a group of people fascinated with the end of things, the end of days, and with the end of time. Maybe it is because we experience the death of things on a daily basis, we are not so much aware of it, those of us who live in modern cities that provide us with the comfort of buying things that have already been killed and packaged, but think back to earlier times. I remember when I was a kid growing up in Cuba, even though we lived over the ocean waters, for our house was built on stilts, we still raised chickens on the back deck of the house, and every time my mom was going to fix chicken for dinner one of them had to die. We kept live fish in the well tank of our boat that was tied to the front of the house, and every time that we were going to have fish for dinner, we went to the tank, got the fish out, killed it and cooked it. We did that with pigs and turkeys that we raised for special occasions as well, I even remember a goat that we raised once, it chewed through the wooden boards on the floor and fell through and ended up hanging itself on the chain that it had tied around its neck while its hind legs were dangling over the water. So that the experience of the cycles of life and death, beginning and endings, are well seated within our DNA. But how does the Bible define what we call the end of days, not just generally as of the end of the age, but our personal end as well? Psalm 39:4 “Lord, make me to know my end, and what is the measure of my days, that I may know how frail I am.” David’s prayer gives us great insight as to why we humans are either fascinated, fearful, or willfully indifferent, to the awareness of the end of things as we know them. How many times are we reminded of our mortality? How many times do we ignore it? At the heart of David’s prayer was the cognitive reality that to ignore our personal mortality reduces our ability to prepare ourselves, and our posterity, for the end of the age that will one day come upon the final generation of humans that will live to see that day. David strongly implies that knowing about his personal mortality as well as the duration of his days while here on the earth, would make him more sensitive to the frailty of life. Now here is the implication, it is extremely hard for us humans to really value human life if we are not fully aware of the value of our own life. How do we react to news that a flood or a landslide killed hundreds of people on a far away distant land? First thought that comes to mind is, those things are always happening to those people out there. How do we react when a tragedy like that happens in our own neck of the woods? New York city is still three thousand miles from where I lived in September 11, 2001 and yet I felt, and I still feel, like I was right there when that tragedy happened. Now why is that? Because when we are personally affected by an event that causes many lives to perish, their death becomes more real to us. And that is the idea that Psalm 39 is trying to convey to us. Listen to what it was that caused David to ask God to give him the revelation of: Make me to know my end. Psalm 39:2-3 “I was mute with silence, I held my peace (became indifferent) even from good; and my sorrow was stirred up. My heart was hot within me; while I was musing (just thinking about it), the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue (took action).” Wow! What a powerful description of what moved him. First David said to himself, I am going to keep my mouth shut, I don’t care if it is good or bad, I’m just going to stay out of it. Isn’t that what so many of us do today? Society is going to hell in a hand basket all around us, so many are dying of drug overdose, so many others are shot dead on a daily basis, and well, we just feel so helpless that we tell ourselves to ignore it, for after all, there is nothing that we can really do about it, or so we feel. Then David said that his sorrow was stirred up, what was it that caused David’s sorrow to be moved? He said that while he was just sitting around thinking about the situation and doing nothing, the fire burned. There are two ways to interpret that, one is that while we sit around and muse and do nothing, the fire continuous to rage and consume all around us unopposed, inflicting a heavy toll on society. The other way to interpret that is, that while we are witnessing the heavy toll on life that our indifference is in some way aiding and abetting, it is what causes our inward fire to burn that moves us to do something. What David did was he prayed. Prayer is recognition that we ourselves are unable to change the situation by our own mortal means. It is amazing to me that David in his prayer did not ask God to give him strength to deal with the situation that he was too weak to handle, instead he asked God to reveal to him his weaknesses to the utter most, for this is what David say: That I may know how frail I am. This is so amazing, because it defies human logic. How is me knowing how weak in reality I really am is going to solve the situation? There is a Scripture parallel that applies here I believe, and it is found in the entire book of the prophet Habakkuk. Habakkuk 1:2-4 “O Lord, how long shall I cry, and You will not hear? Even cry out to You, ‘Violence!’ And you will not save. Why do you show me iniquity, and cause me to see trouble? For plundering and violence are before me; there is strife, and contention arises. Therefore the law is powerless, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; therefore perverse judgment proceeds.” Habakkuk was a righteous Israelite man who lived among the sinful people of the nation of Israel of that time. He is praying to God, and he is asking God why He is not answering his prayer, Habakkuk tells God that he is even pointing out the wrongdoing that he sees when he cries out publicly, Violence! Back in Bible days it was customary to cry out publicly, or to publish, when something bad was happening that could affect those around them. In the case of a leprous person having to pass near anyone else that was not infected with leprosy, the victims of leprosy were required by law to cry out loudly, Unclean! Unclean! To warn those around then not to come in close contact with them. In the same manner when a sin was being perpetrated against another in the nation of Israel, it was required of the Israelites to expose the wrong doing publicly, and that is what Habakkuk is saying to God he did, to no avail. Then Habakkuk says this to God: Why do you show me iniquity, and cause me to see trouble? Basically, Habakkuk is saying, Lord if You are not going to answer my prayer of action against lawlessness, why then do you allow me to witness so much evil? After all, if you do not answer my prayer, there is absolutely nothing that I can do about the wrong that is all around me. However, God is trying to teach Habakkuk what David already knew and was teaching us on Psalm 39. Habakkuk 1:5 “Look among the nations and watch—be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, though it was told you.” So, God takes the prophet Habakkuk into a vision of the near future and reveals to him what dreadful end the nation of Israel has coming because of all their sinfulness that they refused to repent from. Habakkuk is in shock when he witnesses first-hand what the utter devastation of all those around him will be. However what troubles him the most is the way in which God executes judgment on Israel. I guess Habakkuk expected some holy and righteous nation to be used by God to judge his faltering nation, but instead God uses a nation that is far worse, as far as sinfulness and cruelty is, than Israel ever was, to judge them. This is how God describes the nation that He will use to judge Israel for all their sinfulness that they have committed against Him. Habakkuk 1:7 “They are terrible and dreadful; their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.” So that Habakkuk’s prayer changes in emphasis, instead of saying how bad the Israelites really are that lived all around him, now he is asking God how can you use a nation that is far worse than Israel could have ever been to judge us? And then this is what Habakkuk says: Habakkuk 2:1 “I will stand my watch and set myself on the rampart, and watch to see what He will say to me, and what I will answer when I am corrected.” Then God takes Habakkuk into a vision of the future end of days, when the entire earth, along with all the nations, will be judged by God for all their ungodly acts that they have committed against Him. The experience is so traumatic that Habakkuk finally realizes that the judgments of God for the end of days are so completely dreadful, that he now understands how frail human life truly is, and instead of feelings of inadequacy and helplessness, or complaining about all the wrong that was all around him, instead he realizes that the only hope for all humans lies in God’s mercy. Habakkuk 3:2 “O Lord, I have heard Your speech and was afraid; O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years! In the midst of the years make it known; In wrath remember mercy.” David’s prayer was: Make me to know my end, and what is the measure of my days, that I may know how frail I am. Notice how the prayer of Habakkuk mirrors what the prayer of David was, Revive Your work in the midst of the (my) years. I believe that there are no humans that have ever experienced how dreadful the judgments of the end of days are, and who have not prayed this prayer in earnest: Dear Lord, IN THE DAY OF YOUR WRATH, REMEMBER MERCY! We are living in the midst of dire and difficult days, to say the least, for lawlessness and perversion are rampant everywhere we look. But let our prayer emphasis change from, God look at all the evil that is all around us, when are You going to judge it? To the New Testament revelation that says, the more that sins abounds, the more that the grace of God abounds. Let us see what is going on all around us as an opportunity to usher in the grace of God. And we can pray that prayer "in wrath remember mercy" sincerely, only if we have felt the heart of God in this matter. For our God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. That is why Jesus went to the cross. Previous Next Home
