WHO AM I AND WHY AM I HERE Written Teaching Minister Lisa Kane September 18, 2022 Objective The objective of this message is to help believers understand their true identity and divine purpose as created in the image of God. It emphasizes that every individual is made as a representative of God, called to live in alignment with His Word, exercise dominion, and choose life and blessing over sin and deception. Synopsis In Who Am I and Why Am I Here?, Lisa Kane teaches from Genesis 1:26–27, highlighting that mankind was created in the image of God not merely in outward appearance, but as His representatives on earth. The message explores how this truth answers two of life’s most fundamental questions: identity and purpose. Lisa stresses that Genesis and Revelation are the two most attacked books of the Bible because they establish our beginnings and our future. She warns against modern distortions, such as attempts to merge evolution with Scripture or redefine human identity apart from God’s design. Drawing on Psalm 139, she affirms that God knew each person from conception, recording their days, identity, and purpose in His book. The teaching moves into Genesis 2, showing how God gave Adam authority to name the animals, illustrating humanity’s dominion and representative role. Lisa explains how Satan’s jealousy of this God-given authority fueled his rebellion and deception of mankind. Yet even before the fall, God’s plan included redemption through Christ. Through passages in Isaiah and Deuteronomy, the message calls believers to recognize their role as representatives of God, with the power to bless or curse, bring peace or calamity, and to choose life over death. Lisa emphasizes that rejecting God’s design—whether in creation, gender, or moral living—leads to destruction, but embracing His truth brings fruitfulness, multiplication, and blessing. The message concludes by pointing to God’s ultimate purpose, revealed in Daniel and Revelation: to bring an end to sin, establish everlasting righteousness, and fulfill His plan of redemption. Believers are urged to live as God’s representatives now—choosing blessing, rejecting deception, and walking in peace as they await the fulfillment of God’s promises. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and I'm recording this on Sunday, September 18th, 2022. And this message is called Who Am I and Why Am I Here? Thank you. Let's open up in a word of prayer and bless this message. Father God, we thank you for your blessing on this word. We bless it as well. Let it strengthen our mind and our hearts and let it be right above that foundation of of our rock, Jesus Christ, so that we can stand firm and know who we are, why we're here, and what we're doing because we line ourselves up with your word. Thank you, Father God. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go to our opening scripture here. We're going to be in Genesis 1:es 26- 27. And then God said, "Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God. He created him. Male and female he created them. All right, let me lay a couple of things down here just so we understand what we're looking at here because this is going to be one, it is an awesome message. When I was um rehearsing this yesterday, I was blessed just for myself and two I the last two weeks this confirmation of this message I've had confirmation after confirmation to teach this message. So I am very excited about it. Okay. So, first I'd like to tell you that the two most attacked books in the Bible is the book of Genesis and the book of Revelation. If you attend a church and you haven't had your pastor teach in either one of those books, I highly recommend that you supplement your uh church attendance with finding pastors and teachers who do teach these two books because they really lay the foundation for you again as to who you are and why you're here and then what's coming. You know, you you need to know these things and this will help you stand strong and full of joy in spite of all hell breaking loose in this world. Amen. The other part that you need to know is you've got the attack that is so prevalent in these books that they've been going on for a couple hundred years now, at least in the scientific community in relation to Genesis. because now you've got pastors teaching or trying to teach and force evolution into the book of Genesis about creation and it don't work that way. God clearly told us how he created heaven and earth. He taught us that he did six days and he rested on the seventh day. So there is no other thing that can go in here. Evolution does not fit it. And I've already taught on evolution. You can go back and look at my teachings on there. It's been debunked. Big bang theory has also been debunked. The only thing that cannot be debunked is the word of God. So you start science with the word of God. You will conclude that science lands with the word of God. And uh you know a good resource just just to lay this out here um Kenham's ministry, the creation museum, the uh arc encounter, they really really teach apologetics and they show you what the scientific community is doing. Just to give you a small example of it, uh I think it was last Monday or Tuesday, they uh one of their news segments that they brought online, it's on YouTube, it's on answers.tv, too. Anyways, they brought up an article where the scientists are coming out saying, "Well, we don't want to offend the LGBTQ community, so we're going to hold back truth so that there is no offense." Well, how can you know what truth is on science if you're going to hold it back? So, you have to get yourself wellounded in the word of God. And that is where this message is coming into. So, this is going to be very, very interesting. So, we're going to start here. As you said, as you can see, he says he he created us in his image. Okay, what does that mean? You know, I for years I've always thought of it as well, I must look like him. But look at the uniqueness of people in this world. We all look different. Even twins have a difference about them. There there's a resemblance, strong resemblance because you sometimes you can't tell them apart, especially when they're in separate rooms. But there are subtle differences. That means this doesn't mean we look like him. I mean, we probably have same as him, two arms, two legs, a head, a mouth, eyes, nose, that sort of thing. But what does it mean? So, let's go to the Hebrew, the Strong's Hebrew dictionary. So, the meaning of the word image, and it's number H6754, and the word is sele. I'm sure I did not say that right. But it means from an unused root meaning to shade a phantom that is figuratively an illusion resemblance which is what I was just talking about. Hence a representative figure especially an idol image vein shoe. Oh representative wait let's go back to that representative figure. Wait a minute. We represent God to who? Do you see a line, a dividing line in this world? Especially here in the United States, we've got a 50-50 split in the beliefs here. So there is a dividing line and one line is a representative of God and one is not. So the image portion is who we are because he made us in his image to represent him. Oh, that is so powerful. Let's go and understand this a little bit more because I want you to understand where the Lord is coming from here because you know I get it. You know, we have a generation right now that can't even identify what sex they are. They're t attacking science so much that they can't even they they don't want to say scientifically what a male and what a female is. But you know what it's funny they they keep it with animals. They're they're not telling you an animal's genderless. But man, they're attacking man. They're attacking the book of Genesis. And by the way, this is spiritual. This is the demonic entity that is pushing this ideology forward. And with our helmet of salvation, we should be able to see it and we should be able to avoid it. Amen. Okay. So, let's go further in the scripture though because I want you to see not only as a representative, but how God made you into and and identified you and wrote you down in a book. Look at this. Look at this. This is awesome. Psalm 139 13- 16. For you formed my inward parts. You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are your works and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in secret and skillfully rot in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance being yet unformed. And in your book they all were written the days fashioned for me when as yet there were none of them. Oh, you know, there's a couple things I need you to see here that I really want you to understand. First of all, I look at this and that my soul knows very well. Okay? You already know who you are. And what's happening is you've got a world out there that's bombarding you on the outside. And when you don't have your helmet of salvation on, you are open to being deceived. So in other words, when you don't represent God because you're not choosing God, you are s susceptible to the world's teaching and you're being deceived. You are being on the other side. So, but God had says he knew you from the very beginning. So much so that he wrote you down. Look at this in your book. They were all written. The days. So, he wrote down your number of days. He wrote down your name, what your name is going to be. And by the way, this is done at conception, not 15 weeks, 18 weeks, 21 weeks, or at birth. This is done at conception. He he even wrote down what color eyes you're going to have, what color hair you have. I'm going to tell you right now, even he is so mindful of you. He knows how much hair you have on your body at any given time because he is aware of you so much. This is how much he loves you. And this is what he did at the point of conception for you because he looked at you and said, "You're my representative." And because of that, and he gave us free will, so we get to go choose to accept or reject who we are. Now, I'm going to tell you right now in judgment day, if you think you're genderless or you think you're not a male and you're a female or you identify as a male and not a female, I'm gonna tell you right now, God is going to identify you as who he made you. Simple as that. Amen. That's just the reality of it. So, let's look at a little bit more of who we are and why we're here because Genesis answers it and we're going to see how this pulls together. Watch this. So, Genesis uh chapter 2. Okay, so you know what? Before I get into the scripture, I want you to understand something. Genesis chapter 1 and 2, I think in my personal opinion, are the most attacked chapters in the entire book of the Bible or the cannon of the Bible. And the reason being is if you go and Google Adam and Eve, you will find that there's like two Adams, two Evees, because they did not understand what the scriptures were saying is because nobody sat down and read the two chapters and understood it. You got to sit down with the Holy Spirit when you read the Bible. You have got when you spend time with the Lord in the secret place, you pray first and you say, "God, I I want my mind to be in the right place." So you're asking the Holy Spirit to come in and as you read the scripture, he is giving you understanding. Okay. So what is it about Genesis 1 and 2 that is so attacked? Well, they think there's two Adams and two Evees because in chapter one he said what the scripture we read earlier that he made man in his own image, male and female. And then in chapter two, we're going to see some scripture here where Eve is not around. And then you find that she is formed from Adam's rib. So what happened? What is the difference between the two chapters? Well, let's read chapter 2 verses 1-5 and the first part of five. Thus the heavens and the earth and all the host of them were finished. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had done and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it because it is in it he rested from all his work which God created and made. This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. Look at the key word here. Before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. Okay. You can I in all reality chapter one should have ended right there. It didn't. You know, they break the chapters and the verses up based on what they saw at the time, what you know, the the historians and the those that wrote the Bible. This is how because it wasn't written in chapters and verses. It was written all as one. And later on it was uh workers for God who was separating this to make it um so you can find scriptures easily and stuff like that. That's what this was. So this could have ended chapter one. So chapter one is an entire planning phase or he made the construct of the earth before plants before herbs before anything grew. He made the construct. So, and you can always picture it like this. He's in his workshop. He's got a table there, a desk, whatever, and a bench, whatever. And he's got his blueprints out. Or you can even go to a 3D level and say, "Well, here's my bowl of water. That's going to be earth or water, uh, the oceans. Then he's got the bowl of earth. That's going to be the earth. Here's some trees, plants. This is what I'm going to do. These are the seeds for it. These are the animals. This is I'm going to make a man and a woman." That's the entire planning stage. And then chapter two goes into the actionable stage. And that is what's so awesome here. Okay. So now what I want you to see because I want you to understand how God he he made us this representative in his image. What he decided to do to work his image and how good and perfect his image is. because now you're going to see it in action. Now, Adam is placed into the garden. Now, again, I'm not reading all these scriptures for you. I encourage you to sit down, read them for yourself. Don't take a preacher's word for it. I I'm serious. You and the Holy Spirit are going to get more out of it than any. I just happen to love sharing the word of God, and this is why I do this. But I also don't want to spoon feed you. But I want to point you in the right direction, okay? which is to God, to the Holy Spirit. That's my job. That's what I'm doing. So, let's take a look at Adam here and what God did, his first task for Adam. Watch this. So, in Genesis chapter 2, so we're still in chapter 2, but now we're in verses 19 and 20. Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. So, Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam, there was not found a helper comparable to him. Okay? So, Eve is not in the picture yet. So, God makes Adam. He makes all the beast and he he brings all these beasts and he says to Adam, "Go ahead and name them." Why would God do this? There is so much mystery in this scripture alone. This is another reason why this is so attacked. Do you even know why the devil went after Eve? No, you don't. Do you ever hear a teaching on that? No, you don't. I've taught on it a couple times now. And it has to do with this point in time. Think of it like this. Look at the relationship building up here. So God made Adam in his image. There's no sin yet. S this is perfect. This ear, this world here is watered by a mist. There's no rain. That means the weather never changes. There's no seasons. It is the sun goes up, the sun goes down. You don't age. Romans 6:23 says the wages of sin is death. There's no death here. Meaning nothing is eating another animal. So all these animals walk up to Adam. There is no evil intent, fear or anything there. You get this? And Adam is made in God's image, not by look, but by representative. He gave Adam the authority over these creatures because he's now the representative of God over this world. This is our dominion. This was our purpose. So, as God and Adam build a relationship up, Ezekiel tells you that the devil is in the serpent watching things taking place. Now, the way Ezekiel's worded, theologians think it's, oh, well, this confirms that the serpent or the devil was in the serpent when he talked to Eve. Well, remember Eve is not in the picture yet. So, the serpent's there and Adam named him. So that means Lucifer is right there watching and he's getting appalled. He's upset. He's seeing God with this what looks like God because he's you see man is a phantom representative. He he saw the dominion given to man and he is mad because he's thinking, "Oh, I'm perfect. I'm beautiful. I should have that. I should have it all. In fact, God, I know you created me. But you know what? I deny that. I don't recognize that. You see this ideology here? In fact, you're supposed to worship me. Come worship me. That's how the devil is thinking. And that's the moment is right here in this scripture in this moment in time. The seedthing anger is boiling up. And in fact, here's another thing. If you read the book of Enoch, it talks about the angels smelling the humans and not liking the smell at all. So, you've got the devil here who who's looking at this infallible stinky creature made of flesh and blood that looks like could look like God. You know, he's in denial. He's angry. He's hating it. And yet, God gave us Dominion. Do you see what God has done for us? And that's just the tip of the iceberg. It's not talking about the redemption because the devil kind of said to God in his mind and maybe he had a conversation with God. It's not recorded in scripture, but he simply said, "You know what, God? I'm going to fool these people. I'm going to deceive them. I'm going to show you how stupid they are." And by the way, he was successful. But God had already built that into his plan. Look at the plan back in chapter one. Remember this is the blueprint, the planning stage. Chapter 1 verse 27 28. So God created man in his own image. In the image of God he created him male and female he created them. That's what I read earlier. Now look at this. Then God blessed them. And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." So before even Lucifer came into the picture, God already planned to give his image, his representative dominion over this earth. Oh hallelujah. Hallelujah. That is incredible. Okay. So now let's take a look at this a little further because I want you to understand now if you are a representative of God, the next question you need to be asking yourself, well then who is God? Who is this guy that gave us this kind of dominion? Look at this. Isaiah 45:6 and 7 that they may know from the right. Okay, just to lay a foundation here. This God is talking to Cyrus. Isaiah is writing this and this is something like 400 years earlier and I'm not 100% certain of the years. So Cyrus is going to come in and evade Israel. And this is a true story. The priest came out, pulled the section of Isaiah and started reading it to Cyrus, King Cyrus. And God is talking to King Cyrus that was written hundreds of years before. Look what he says to Cyrus, which is applicable to you and I. So we know who God is. Says that they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none besides me. And notice the rising of the sun or the setting. God is pointing back to Genesis to the planning stage when he put things and he made his construct and he put it in place where the sun went up the sun went or you know the earth rotated around. Look at he how he's pointing back to says there is none besides me. I am the Lord and there is no other. I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create calamity. I the Lord do all these things. If we're in his image and we're the representative of him, should we be doing that? Wait, but you are. Wait, you don't even realize you're doing it. You want to know? You let sin in. You could have shut the door to sin and you could have a blessed life if you would choose to bless it and put God first. You do that. And I promise you, and I've got scripture to prove it here that we will show you, that you put God first and you get rid of that sin, you take care of yourself, you're blessed. Now, look at further what he says here in Isaiah, further down in the chapter, because this is what people do about God. Watch this. Woe to him who strives with his maker. Okay, we know that man fights God. They don't want a God because then they have to acknowledge their sin. That's one of the major attacks of the book of Genesis is that you have to acknowledge the fall of man that we got sucker punched by the devil and we fell. Well, here we are. We are representative. And if God has the ability to make light, darkness, peace, and calamity, we're in his image. We're the representative of it. We can choose him and live it. Now, look what he does here. Says, "Let the posturard strive with the posturds of the earth. And shall the clay say to him who forms it, what are you making? Or shall your handiwork say, he has no hands?" How dare you say I'm genderless? Seriously, how dare you say I recognize myself as a man or a woman and not what you were born as? How dare you strive with God? That's Satan. And you're letting him get in. But you are a representative of God. And as a representative, you should be making peace, not calamity. And because you're saying that you identify a certain way, you are causing calamity. You're a representative of God. He gave you that authority to do that. And when you're not doing this, you got a problem. Let's go to Deuteronomy. Look what happens here. Again, he's talking to Israel, but this is so applicable to you and I today. Look at this. Deuteronomy 30. We're going to read verses 15 through 20. See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, and that I command you today to love the Lord your God. Now, there's the issue right there. You ain't loving the God because you don't love yourself. You're you're saying, "I'm not a man or a woman or I'm ugly as this." God made you perfect. He called you good and he blessed you to be fruitful and to multiply. By the way, you notice gay can't be fruitful and multiply. That breaks the commandment against what God asked us to do. So why are we here to be fruitful and to multiply? But if you go all if everybody goes gay, we die. The whole generation of the whole world dies. That means we cannot do that. That's why God calls it an abomination. Let's continue on here. Look at what he says. Love the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his judgments that you may live and multiply. You see, this is what he asked you to do from the this is what he said. This, you're my representative. You are in my image. I bless you to live, to be fruitful, and to multiply. And here he's reaffirming it. And the Lord your God will bless you in the land you go to possess. So, wherever you go, he's going to do that. But if your heart turns away, oh, you see now if you're identifying as the opposite of whoever you're supposed to be or you say, you know what, God, you're not for me cuz we have different I I believe differently. Look what happens to you when you reject God so that you do not hear. But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear and are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them, Hollywood, the other kings and queens, things you like more than God, I announce to you today, this is God talking, that you shall surely perish. You shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess. And I'm trying to get the scripture to move. I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you that I have set before you life and death. See, this is set before you. This is your responsibility. You get to choose because you are a representative of God. And this is why you're here. Look at that. He says, "I set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore, choose life that you both you and your descendants may live." Oh my goodness. You get to bless. You get to curse. So which one are you going to do? See, God made you perfect because you represent him. He had to make you good. He had to. The problem is is the devil came in. But God made an answer to that. This is why he redeemed us. And not only did he redeem us, he has a purpose now. So we have now we know why we're here. We know who we are. We're a representative co of God that we can bless. We can curse. We can cause calamity. We can cause peace. We also know we have a purpose to bless so we can have long life to be fruitful and multiply. Now look at God's purpose. Oh my word. This is awesome. Daniel 9:24, 70 weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy. He's bringing it all to an end, my friend. everything about sin, iniquity, he's going to reconcile the whole thing. So when we go to our heavenly life, whether we're in the presence of God or in uh hell, that is what God's purpose is. And it is to complete everything, to bring it to an end. Which means as a representative of God, you are on that same path. So your purpose is to bless, reduce sin, make it less in your life and cause peace, not calamity. So that the purpose of God comes to the end which we see happening now. Matthew 24, Luke 21, Mark 13 being revealed right now. That is prophecy being fulfilled at this very moment in our lives. And if you read the book of Revelation, you're going to find that the devil's going to be thrown in the lake of fire. Now, people who reject God, you know what? You know, you say he's not for me or you know that that it's your choice. You get to choose that. There's only another place you can go that is not in the presence of God. That's hell. So, it's up to you where you want to go. But I'm going to tell you, hell is not pleasant. It will not be pleasant. It is going to burn. It is going to hurt. And it will be perpetual for an eternity. And I don't wish that on anybody. So, even though there are people I dislike, I don't get along with, or I they attack me, and I know it's the devil behind the scenes, and I'm in my last message, I'm making atonement for them because I'm trying to bring peace to the land, doing my part as I am, a representative of the most high because he made me in his image. He is going to bring an end to sin. So you can stop sinning now and you can just start repenting and repenting and repenting. Job did it all the time. Did it for his kids. Do it for yourself. Do it for your family. Do it for your co-workers. Do it for your area that you are responsible for, which is what I was teaching the last time I taught two weeks ago. So I encourage you to bless because you are a representative of Christ and you have the right to cause blessings or calamities. And you know what? Don't live the life of drama. Enjoy the peace while we can still do it because who knows how long this is going to be. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message again and we thank you for your blessing on it. Let us have the strength to bless and not curse. Let us have the strength to represent who you are and to show the world that you are, God, and that you are in control and that we represent you properly because you called us good. And thank you, Father God, for redeeming us and bringing us back to your presence and saving us and for your purpose of bringing an end to sins. Thank you, Lord. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Well, God bless each and every one of you and I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Home Watch the Video Teaching

MAHER-SHAL’AL-HASH-BAZ To explain the prophetic significance of Isaiah’s son Maher-Shal’al-Hash-Baz (“Speed the Spoil, Hasten the Booty”) in its historical context and to connect its meaning with end-time prophecies, particularly regarding modern Israel, Damascus, and the Russian-led invasion described in Ezekiel 38–39. The objective is to demonstrate how God’s dealings with Israel in Isaiah’s day serve as examples and warnings for the present generation, affirming the certainty of God’s Word and His ultimate plan for the nations. MAHER-SHAL’AL-HASH-BAZ Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: To explain the prophetic significance of Isaiah’s son Maher-Shal’al-Hash-Baz (“Speed the Spoil, Hasten the Booty”) in its historical context and to connect its meaning with end-time prophecies, particularly regarding modern Israel, Damascus, and the Russian-led invasion described in Ezekiel 38–39. The objective is to demonstrate how God’s dealings with Israel in Isaiah’s day serve as examples and warnings for the present generation, affirming the certainty of God’s Word and His ultimate plan for the nations. Synopsis: In Isaiah 8, God commands the prophet to write publicly about His oath of judgment, witnessed by Uriah and Zechariah, and confirmed through the birth of Isaiah’s son whose name, Maher-Shal’al-Hash-Baz, signifies “Speed the Spoil, Hasten the Booty.” This name symbolized the imminent plundering of Samaria and Damascus by the Assyrian king. God’s message was clear: His prophetic word would quickly be fulfilled, and judgment was certain for those who rejected His covenant. The account not only addressed Israel’s immediate disobedience but also foreshadowed future prophetic fulfillment. Just as Assyria invaded Israel for spoil, Ezekiel 38–39 predicts that Russia will lead a coalition of nations against Israel in the end times with the same motive: plunder and gain. This invasion will involve Syria (Damascus) and Islamic nations aligned against Israel. However, God will intervene miraculously to deliver His people, proving His holiness before all nations. Isaiah’s prophecy serves as a warning: God’s Word is reliable, and what He has spoken will come to pass. The example reminds believers today not to be caught off guard by complacency or world politics, but to live in readiness for the fulfillment of end-time events. Ultimately, God will vindicate His name, protect His people, and establish His law through His appointed witnesses and through Christ’s return. Inspired Teaching: Isaiah 8:3 “Then I went to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then the Lord said to me, ‘Call his name Maher-Shal’al-Hash-Baz.’” I bet you are wandering what that name means, don’t worry is on the margin of my Bible, here what the meaning of this name is: Speed the Spoil, Hasten the Booty! There is a tremendous insight into what is going on today and what went on in the days of Isaiah concerning Israel’s disobedience to the Word of God. The key to look for here is found in the two opening verses. Isaiah 8:1-2 “Moreover the Lord said to me, ‘Take a large scroll, and write on it with a man’s pen concerning Maher-Shal’al-Hash-Baz. And I will take for Myself faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest and Zechariah the son of Jeberechi’ah.” What the Lord is doing here is taking a solemn oath, in regards to something that He is going to do here on the earth, and He commands Isaiah to get a large scroll and to write on it with a man’s pen, that is in clearly understood human language, and God even summons to Himself two witnesses that will testify, that this is what the Lord said that he was going to do, after it has come to pass just as the Lord said it would. Within the context of Isaiah’s day, it had to do with the invasion of Samaria by Assyria, now Samaria was the capital of Israel at that time when Israel was divided into two nations, Israel and Judah. Now this prophecy does not concern Judah for God will protect them at this time from the king of Assyria, but it is interesting that God includes in His prophecy the city of Damascus as well. Now why is this so important to us in our present day? 1 Corinthians 10:11 “Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.” So that God is clearly teaching us through the past examples of the saints of old, the unfolding of what we see going on today in regards to God’s prophetic words, and the surety of their fulfillment. Let us first begin with the name by which God calls the son of the prophetess on verse three: Speed the Spoil, Hasten the Booty. What prophecy has God uttered that has not yet been fulfilled, that deals with a foreign nation being drawn speedily, or suddenly, against the nation of Israel for the sake of gaining spoil and booty? Ezekiel 38:13 “Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all their young lions will say to you, ‘Have you come to take plunder? Have you gathered your army to take booty, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’” This yet to be fulfilled end time prophecy refers to the Russian nation of our present day, which will lead a confederacy of nations against the nation of Israel at the end of days, and the reason why they are doing it, is very clearly laid out in our preceding verse of Scripture. In the oath that God took on Isaiah 8: He also includes the city of Damascus, today’s Syrian capital, as spoil to be gained by them as well. Isaiah 8:4 “For before the child shall have knowledge to cry ‘My father’ and ‘My mother,’ the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be taken away before the king of Assyria.” Let’s see if we can put together how this ancient prophecy relates to our current geo-political situation. Here is what we know: From Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39, we know with certainty that it will be our present day Russia the nation that will lead this invasion of Israel. Just let me give you a couple of verses for those of you who may not be aware of this declaration that God fore-ordained for our end of time. Ezekiel 38:2-4 “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords.’” Just like in the days of Isaiah the prophet, when God brought the king of Assyria against the nation of Israel to fulfill His fore-ordained plan, He will do so as well during the end to days, when He will bring this Russian confederacy against the nation of Israel to fulfill His desire to reveal Himself to the nations of the world, as He delivers Israel from the hands of their many enemies as in days of old. Ezekiel 39:7-8 “So I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let them profane My holy name anymore. Then the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. Surely it is coming, and it shall be done, says the Lord God. This is the day of which I have spoken.” Now in Isaiah’s prophecy God took for Himself two faithful witnesses that would declare to the nation of Israel as well as to the nations of the world, what verse eight clearly spells out: This is the day of which I have spoken! And the reason why the nation of Israel will not profane the Lord’s name anymore at that time, is because after the Lord destroys the Russian confederacy that comes against them, He will send them the Two Witnesses who will not only place the nation of Israel under God’s law, but the rest of the nations of the world as well. Imagine that! The high courts of the nations of the world which declare that it is legal to kill innocent unborn babies through the practice of abortion will be told by the Two Witnesses that it is not! For such a hideous practice violates the law of God: Psalm 127:3 “Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is His reward.” KJV And if these nations decide to live by their own laws and willfully disobey God’s commandments, then they will be punished severally for their disobedience by the Two Witnesses, for it will be their job to enforce God’s law upon all the peoples of the earth. Revelation 11:5-6, 10 “And if anyone wants to harm them (the Two Witnesses), fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. These (Two Witnesses) have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire...And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them (when they are killed after their prophetic reign ends after 1,260 days), make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.” So, what have we learned so far? Let me see if we can put all these things into their proper perspective utilizing our opening text on Isaiah 8: We have Israel and Damascus as the bait that will draw the Russian bear into God’s end of days trap. It is not a coincidence that Russia is heavily invested in today’s Syria, for even after the nations of the world demanded that the Syrian president resign after he used chemical weapons on his own people, Russia did not back off in their full support for Assad’s regime, instead they increased their armaments delivery and found a way to legitimize this cruel dictator so that he can stay in power. Now why Israel? What is the spoil and where is the booty that they can gain from an invasion of Israel? There is a lot more at stake here than gold and silver and oil, there is a great amount of political capital to be had if they play their cards right. It is painfully clear to many that the present strategy of the United States government is to lead from behind, which is a misnomer, for it really means not to lead at all, for all that this strategy creates is a vacuum of leadership that the likes of Putin would not mind filling up right away. In Isaiah’s prophetic context we are told that before the child of the prophetess is able to have knowledge of who his mother and father are, that the spoils will be gone. To me that means that before people even realize what is going on prophetically, it will be too late, for the vacuum would have already been filled. If the lesser nations of the world come to the conclusion that a power shift is taking place, as many of them are already realizing, then it is to their advantage to align themselves within the orb of this new emerging power, if it is to their own advantage of course. If Russia wanted to endear themselves to a majority of the nations of the world, the destruction and removal of the nation of Israel would play right into the hands of not only many of the Islamic nations, but some of the western nations as well, who privately hate Israel with a passion. As a matter of fact, the nations that join this Russian confederacy against Israel according to Ezekiel’s list in Ezekiel 38, many are Islamic nations today, Persia tops the list of these followers which is today’s Iran, they are continuously calling for the nation of Israel to be driven into the sea. We can honestly say that the might of the Unites States and what we might have done, is what kept Russia from even thinking of invading the nation of Israel in the past, but all of that is now changing rapidly. For even is the midst of the present power grab by Russia in the Ukraine, the United States government is warning Israel to reach an agreement with their enemies or else. I can say with confidence that the child of the prophetess has been born, and his name is Maher-Shal’al-Hash-Baz, Speed the Spoil, Hasten the Booty. I can also say with confidence that the bear of the north woods got his scent, and though he might try to resist the temptation of going after this child, if This is the day of which I (God) have spoken, this hungry bear will not be able to resist the bait that is in the hook of God Almighty. Isaiah 8:6-7 “Inasmuch as these people refused the waters of Shiloah that flow softly...Now therefore, behold, the Lord brings up over them the waters of the River, strong and mighty…” Has any nation ever that was called by God to do His purpose here on earth gotten away with their sin of rebelling against doing His will? I am utterly amazed how anywhere that I look in Scripture, how I see the present unfolding just as it was told by the prophets of old it would be. Although we may not have much of a say about what our nation does or about what it fails to do, we do know that our God is a personal God, and that is why He sent His Word personally to save us from our sins, Jesus, His only begotten Son. Isaiah 8:11 “For the Lord spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people…” This is our walk, looking for that blessed hope, that when He appears we will be with Him forevermore, no matter what!

The objective of this teaching is to reveal the prophetic relevance of Isaiah 2:9, showing that God draws a line of division between those who walk in the light of Christ and those who choose deception, pride, and evil. It emphasizes the urgent call for believers to walk as children of light, resist cultural and spiritual deception, and understand why God declares “forgive them not” to those who deliberately bow to falsehood and reject His truth in these end times.

REASON TOGETHER The objective of this teaching is to demonstrate that God calls His people to reason with Him on the basis of truth and humility, rather than blind adherence to religious traditions. It aims to show that reasoning with God begins with the recognition of our sinful condition, is grounded in His holiness, and culminates in the necessity of a Savior—Jesus Christ. The teaching emphasizes repentance, humility, and faith in Christ as the only way to be cleansed and made acceptable before God, while also warning against pride and rebellion that lead to judgment. REASON TOGETHER Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of this teaching is to demonstrate that God calls His people to reason with Him on the basis of truth and humility, rather than blind adherence to religious traditions. It aims to show that reasoning with God begins with the recognition of our sinful condition, is grounded in His holiness, and culminates in the necessity of a Savior—Jesus Christ. The teaching emphasizes repentance, humility, and faith in Christ as the only way to be cleansed and made acceptable before God, while also warning against pride and rebellion that lead to judgment. Synopsis: This message explores Isaiah 1:18, where God extends an invitation to humanity to “reason together” with Him. It begins with the historical context of how early believers were first known as “people of the way” before being called Christians, highlighting that the gospel was presented not as a new religion but as a more accurate way to salvation through Christ. Reasoning with God is presented as engaging with undisputable truths: mankind is sinful, God is holy, and humanity cannot attain righteousness by its own efforts. Scriptures such as James 4:10 and Psalm 51:17 show that humility and a contrite heart are the only acceptable posture when approaching God. God’s promise of cleansing—making sins white as snow—points directly to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who through His blood redeems and purifies believers. The teaching also explains God’s agenda for His people: to live holy lives marked by justice, mercy, and obedience, as outlined in Isaiah 1:16–17. However, since all have sinned and fall short, the only reasonable conclusion is the need for a Savior. Jesus Christ fulfills this role by dying for sin, rising again, and offering forgiveness to those who repent and believe. Finally, the teaching issues a sobering warning: pride is the greatest barrier that keeps people from salvation, and God’s coming judgment will humble the proud. This present generation, possibly the last before Christ’s return, faces a double responsibility—to repent now and escape both temporal and eternal judgment. The only hope is to renounce pride, accept God’s offer of salvation through Christ, and live in readiness for His return. Inspired Teaching: Isaiah 1:18 “‘Come now, and let us reason together,’ says the Lord, ‘Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.’” From the foundation of the church of our Lord Jesus Christ, people struggled to define what to call it. The believers of the early church were not called Christians until many years later at a church in Antioch. Acts 11:26 “And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.” Before that, they were called the people of the way—for lack of a better name—since Christianity was never presented as a new religion that they were to embrace, but as a new and more accurate way into salvation. Acts 18:26 “So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.” Notice how Christian doctrine was based on reason rather than religious precepts; they explained salvation as an act of faith that was based on the fact that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose from the dead on the third day, and that He is now seated at the right hand of God, forever making intercession for all of us who believe in Him. 1 Corinthians 2:1-2 “And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony (mystery) of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” As you can see from our opening text, that God is calling us to reason together with Him, and not to the blind adherence of religious dogma. How does a person reason with God? Remember first, that reason deals with facts, so that we need to establish a protocol that is founded on undisputable facts to which we can relate. Though your sins are like scarlet: The fact is that we are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God. We can never reason with God from a perspective of equality, that would be pride, which would immediately cause us to be kicked out of His holy presence. James 4:10 “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.” Some people get frustrated because they do not seem to get any answers from God when they go before Him in prayer. Psalm 51:17 “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart—these, O God, You will not despise.” These two Scriptures lay a solid foundation as to how we are to approach God in order to reason with Him. First, we must recognize that we are sinners, and that God is holy. Second, that if we come before Him with a spirit of humility and brokenness, He will not turn His back on us. They shall be white as snow: The second aspect has to do with the why are we coming before God. First let me say that, coming before God is always the best move that we can ever make, no matter what our circumstances are. But we need to understand God’s protocol and follow it if we are going to be able to reason with God. What I am saying is that some people only go before God when they have a pressing need that they themselves cannot fix. The problem with this approach is that they want to set the agenda as to what it is that they want to reason with God about. But God has His own agenda for us; He wants to implement in our lives a new way of living so that we can rise to His high calling, which is: Isaiah 1:16-17 “Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, rebuke the oppressor; defend the fatherless, plead for the widow.” This is the context from which God issued the promise: Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. How many of us can keep God’s law? No one can! For it is written that All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean: How do we do that? Jesus Christ and Him crucified! Sound reasoning leads us to the fact that within ourselves we are incapable of doing that which is good; therefore, the only conclusion that we can reasonably arrive to, is that we are all in need of a Savior. Romans 7:18 “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.” So far, we learned that God is holy, and that those who follow God must also be holy. We are commanded by God to wash ourselves, and to make ourselves clean in order to follow Him. We are also told that we cannot even do that for ourselves; what a wretched condition we find ourselves in—we need a Savior who is able to deliver us from our filth and make us acceptable before God. Who is this Savior, and how does He saves us? Romans 7:24-25 “O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!...” Jesus is our Savior because He died for all our sins. Hebrews 9:22 “And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.” Jesus is our Savior who not only died for all our sins, but He is also our Savior who cleanses us from all unrighteousness. Ephesians 1:6-7 “To the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” So far reason has led us into the undeniable facts that God is holy and that we are not. That we are required by God to be good, but the reality is that we are not. And not only that, but that we are unable to be good by our own strength. We conclude then that without a Savior we are forever lost. Isaiah gives us the promise that: Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool, but only if we repent and accept His offer of forgiveness that can only be attained through Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord, whose name is forever to be blessed! Isaiah 1:19-20 “‘If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat (be blessed with salvation) the good of the land; But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured (destroyed by your own sins) by the sword’; For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” The spirit of pride is the biggest obstacle that keeps those who know that they need a Savior, from accepting Jesus as their Savior. We need to realize that it is the pride—and the proud—of this world that our Lord is coming to judge. Without Jesus as our Savior, we will fall under the coming judgment of God. For the preceding generations, their judgment came after they died without Christ. For it is written that: It is appointed unto men to die once and then comes the judgment. What is unique to our present generation—if this is the last generation before Jesus comes, as all signs point that it is—is that this generation will have to bear the judgment of all the preceding generations before it. Matthew 23:36 “Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.” So that this last generation will have to endure the physical punishment due to all the generations before it, while here on the earth, and then, be cast into hell and the eternal judgment that follows. So that there is a double incentive for those who are now alive, to repent and to receive the double reward of salvation and escaping the judgment that is soon coming upon all those who dwell on the earth, to test them. Isaiah 2:10-11 “Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from the terror of the Lord and the glory of His majesty. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.” According to Scripture, there are three major spirits that afflict all the inhabitants of this present-day world. 1 John 2:16 “For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.” We learn by simple reasoning from Scripture, that the only way to overcome the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes, is by dying to self and living with Christ, through the power of His unending grace. We also learn that pride is what keeps many from humbling themselves before God, confessing their sins before Him, and receiving God’s pardon that is available through our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. We learn as well that it is that spirit of pride that God will judge mightily at His soon return. If there was ever a time to renounce the spirit of pride and to enter into the Rock of God’s salvation, it is right now before God’s final judgment is unleashed! Isaiah 2:12 “For the day of the Lord of hosts shall come upon everything proud and lofty, upon everything lifted up—and it shall be brought low.” Previous Next Home

THE SYSTEMATIC EXTERMINATION OF CHRISTIANITY The objective of this teaching is to unveil the prophetic and historical pattern of persecution against God’s people—both Jews and Christians—and to demonstrate how the current global hostility toward Christianity reflects the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. It aims to warn believers about the intensifying attempt to eradicate Christianity worldwide, highlight the complicity of governments and secular ideologies in this persecution, and prepare the church to endure tribulation while holding fast to faith in the promises of God. THE SYSTEMATIC EXTERMINATION OF CHRISTIANITY Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of this teaching is to unveil the prophetic and historical pattern of persecution against God’s people—both Jews and Christians—and to demonstrate how the current global hostility toward Christianity reflects the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. It aims to warn believers about the intensifying attempt to eradicate Christianity worldwide, highlight the complicity of governments and secular ideologies in this persecution, and prepare the church to endure tribulation while holding fast to faith in the promises of God. Synopsis: This message explores the opening of the fifth seal in Revelation 6, which reveals the souls of martyrs crying out for justice, and connects it to both the historic slaughter of the Jews and the ongoing persecution of Christians. The text distinguishes between the Jews who suffered martyrdom simply for their identity (particularly in the Holocaust and future tribulations) and the Christians who are killed for their faith and testimony in Jesus Christ. Together, their shed blood signifies the unification of God’s people in prophetic fulfillment. The teaching underscores that persecution is not a distant or isolated phenomenon but is happening now on a systematic, global scale. Examples are given of the eradication of Christian communities in Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, and Palestinian territories—nations where Christianity once flourished but is now nearly extinguished due to violence, intimidation, and government indifference. Even Western nations, including the United States, are shown as complicit through policies that empower hostile regimes and through their own cultural rejection of biblical values under the banner of secular humanism. The parallels with Lot in Sodom highlight how societies increasingly reject God’s moral law, demanding conformity to depravity and branding dissenters as intolerant. The rise of Islam’s demand for submission and the West’s embrace of secular humanism both work toward silencing Christianity. The teaching warns that this escalating trend fulfills Jesus’ prophecy of hatred “for His name’s sake” (Luke 21:17), pointing toward imminent judgment. Finally, the lesson distinguishes tribulation—what men do to believers—from wrath—what God does to unbelievers. While Christians are promised deliverance from God’s wrath, they are also called to endure tribulation faithfully. Believers are urged to remain steadfast, expose darkness with God’s Word, and trust that God will ultimately avenge the blood of His people when the fullness of martyrdom is complete. The ultimate choice is presented starkly: stand with Christ and suffer persecution, or conform to the world and face eternal judgment. Inspired Teaching: Revelation 6:10-11 “And they cried with a loud voice, saying, ‘How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?’ Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.” The opening of the fifth seal reveals that before the rapture of the church takes place, which by the way takes place after the opening of the sixth seal, that there will be a great slaughter of two types or classes of peoples, and then it defines who those peoples are and the reason why they were killed: Revelation 6:9 “When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the Word of God and for the testimony which they held.” Who are the fellow servants and who are their brethren, who have been numbered to die a martyr’s death before the Lord returns? In my book Man’s Final Destiny , you can read it in the books section of houseoffaithministries.org , I make the point that the souls under the altar are representative of the Jews who were slaughtered during World War II, since many of them were slain in gas chambers as a burnt offering, that is what the word Holocaust means, and that they died for the testimony which they held, they were just simply killed because they were Jews. It did not matter whether they were practitioners of Judaism or not, since so may innocent children were slain, over a million, who did not even know what religion or creed they belonged to. And I figured that the number of their fellow servants that were yet to be killed would be those Jews that would die later, before and during the invasion that sees Jerusalem surrounded by the armies of the nations of the world; and I’ve arrived at that conclusion because this is the only place in the book of Revelation where the martyrs are not referred to as dying for the testimony of Jesus, but rather for the testimony which they held, basically they were killed because they were Jews by race. But on a closer look of this passage of Scripture, it also seems to include the souls of those martyred for their Christian faith before the return of the Lord and it is symbolic, I believe, of the reunification of the blood of the fellow servants and of their brethren, upon which the original church was founded, since the foundation of the church included the shed blood of both the Jews and the Gentile believers; hence, there is a prophetic implication here of their final unification as one body, the body of the Lord, before He returns to execute His final judgments. Luke 21:17 “And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake.” The present-day persecution and the hatred perpetrated by the entire world against the Jewish people has been clearly documented and the evidence is irrefutable, just look at the United Nations record and see who it is that they continuously condemn and disapprove of unfairly. What is not clear to many today is, that right now, there is a systematic extermination of Christianity going on, and in many instances we are just talking about nominal Christianity, this persecution is not like the one that has gotten many Christians killed for their fervency and persistency in proclaiming the Gospel in hostile areas, no, this persecution going on right now in many parts of the world is for the simple purpose of eradicating Christianity itself by killing those, like they did the Jews before them, that are Christians even if in name or heritage only. And what might be the most appalling thing in all of this is, that our very own government, the US by its policies, is aiding and abetting the very evil that is taking place against the church of Jesus Christ. In Iraq for example, there was even under the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein, a large and healthy group of Christian communities. Ever since we liberated that country, those of the Islamic faith have used their freedom, which they did not have under the previous regime, to kill and intimidate Christian communities that have existed there since before Islam was even a religion, to the point that over half of the Christian population has fled the country and many have died, and before long there will be no traces of Christianity left in that nation. We see the same things taking place in Afghanistan, where our soldiers and those of the coalition are still fighting and dying to promote the freedom of those who want to eradicate Christianity forever. Egypt has one of the largest Christian populations of any of the Arab nations in the region, we just gave them some of our very best war planes plus billions of dollars; in thanks for our standing behind their rights to be free from a brutal dictatorship and supporting them with our weapons and treasure, they pay us back by torturing and killing Christians for the purpose of intimidating them to flee the cities and villages where their families have lived since the days of Jesus. The Palestinian areas where many of the Christian holy sites are, and where many Christians have lived for two thousand years, has been decimated buy kidnappings, torture and terrorism against those of the Christian faith so that right now the Christian population of many of those areas is nonexistent. All the while our hard-earned money and support is helping to feed and clothe those who commit these atrocities. Jeremiah 34:17 “Therefore thus says the Lord; ‘You have not obeyed Me in proclaiming liberty, everyone 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.’” Luke 6:38 “...For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” There has always been the persecution of those, who belong to God either by word or deed, beginning with the first martyr, Abel, whose righteous blood still cries out from the ground for God’s vengeance to be executed on its behalf. The question that we must ask is this: When is the number of both the fellow servants and their brethren who are to be killed completed? Genesis 18:23 “And Abraham came near and said, ‘Would you also destroy the righteous with the wicked?’” In the narrative over the pending destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah Abraham engages in a numbers game with God, in other words, Abraham wanted to know what the ratio of believers to unbelievers in those cities would have to be to bring about the final judgment of God. Genesis 19:4-5 “Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house. And they called to Lot and said to him, ‘Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally.’” There was one righteous man left in that city and his name was Lot, and because of Lot’s refusal to give into their depravity, they were ready to do away with him. Genesis 19:9 “And they said, ‘Stand back!’ Then they said, ‘This one (Lot) came in to stay here, and he keeps acting as a judge; now we will deal worse with you than with them.’ So they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near to break down the door.” It is obvious from the context that there was no room left for Lot in that city, it was compliance and conformance to their way or else leave or be killed. Notice what their charge is against Lot, and the reason they intend to harm him, he keeps acting like a judge, in other words, who are you to tell us what is right and what is wrong. There are so many parallels here that is scary. First you have a worldwide religion in Islam that, in many instances, when they become the majority rule in the country or in the community as cited earlier, is either what their religion demands, which is total submission to them, that is what the name Islam means by the way, or the only other options are death or exile. The other parallel here that is so frightening is, that in the western nations where traditional Christianity provided what we could say was a model for government, for it offered its citizens freedom for and from religion, that also included freedom of speech and of choice, have now become ensnared in the trap of secular humanism, which demands of its adherents total and complete subjugation to their philosophy, and if you disagree with them because of whatever reason, then, you are classified as a bigot, homophobic, intolerant person that needs to be dealt with. Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.” So that we have a flurry of nations that are forcibly removing from their ranks right now, any trace of Judaism and Christianity, and we have nations that have already done so; and in what is supposed to be the nations that were built on the Judeo-Christian values of Bible teaching, we have a total and complete rejection of the moral and ethical principles upon which they were founded. So, getting back to the numbers game, it is hard for me to see this trend changing anytime soon. There is no enforcement of the moral code of right and wrong anywhere in the world, nations just keep getting away with their evil deeds against those who have no say. I do not see a principled nation that is even able to speak on behalf of the innocent who are being slaughtered, even less one that is able to do something about it. Here in the United States the tales of the horrors that take place in the abortion mills has come to light in the trial of a doctor accused of murdering infants that were aborted but still alive, how their spinal cords were snipped with a scissor or flushed down the toilet while still alive. In another tape you can hear a doctor tell the pregnant mother that her almost full term baby will be killed inside of her before is aborted, she asks him, does that mean that I would have a dead baby inside of me? To which the Doctor responds, think of it as meat in the crock pot. Remember what they said to Lot? Who made you judge? Well, I definitely do not want to be part of this wicked and corrupt generation, I do not want to be a partaker of their judgment, so while I am here, I will not cease to expose their works of darkness to the light of God’s Word. So that when the Son of Man is revealed, I, like Lot, will be ushered out of this Sodom in a great hurry by God’s angels, before God’s destruction rains down from heaven upon this wicked and perverse generation. Revelation 6:14-17 “Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?’” God has not appointed us to wrath, thank You Lord! But Jesus did say that in this world we would have tribulation; my definition of tribulation is that of what men do to those they persecute for believing what the Word of God says, like what I have been teaching here in this lesson. My definition of wrath is what God does to those who persecute His children that believe what the Word of God says. And it is not pretty what God will do to them. So here are the choices: believe the Word of God and suffer persecution, for many of us here in the west is just verbal and situational persecution right now, and who knows maybe not for long, but for many Christians today who live under the rule of mad man, their persecution is very real, and their trials are excruciating, but their future is very secure, for wherever they go they are God’s holy property. And if you choose to conform with the world for the sake of not being out of step with societal evolution, you will end up wishing that you were under a pile of rocks with a bunch of losers, not that that is going to help you in anyway, for after all, hell is hell forever, whether you believe in it or not.

To reveal God’s divine design for the woman as “the helper,” formed from the rib, reflecting God’s own role as Helper. This lesson aims to show how women are uniquely created to protect, strengthen, and pray over their husbands—just as God protects, strengthens, and intercedes for His children. Through Scripture, we explore how the role of “helper” mirrors God’s nature, how the rib symbolizes covering and safeguarding, and how prayer becomes the woman’s spiritual expression of this calling. Whether married or single, every believer can commit to God as their ultimate Helper and walk in the order, strength, and blessing He designed.

WHEN YOU LIFT UP THE SON OF MAN Written Teaching Minister Lisa Kane August 12, 2025 Objective Discover who the Son of Man is, and lift Him up through faith, knowing that Jesus is the Son of God who does nothing on His own. Sent by the Father, He speaks and acts only as the Father has taught Him, always doing what pleases Him. He is never alone, and we too can follow His example to please our Heavenly Father and walk in His constant presence. Synopsis John 8:28 KJV Jesus declared that when the Son of Man is lifted up, people will recognize who He is and understand that He speaks only what the Father has taught Him. Who is the Son of Man? Jesus is the Son of Man—God’s Son, the eternal Word who became flesh. John 1:1-4 KJV From the very beginning, the Word was with God and was God. Through Him, all things were created, and i Him is life—the light of humanity. John 1:14 KJV The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, revealing the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Genesis 1:1-3 KJV From creation’s first moment, God brought the universe into being, His Spirit moving over the waters, and light coming forth by His command. From the start, Jesus was present with God as Creator of all things. In time, He came into the world through a virgin named Mary, taking on human form. He lived without sin and willingly bore our sins on the cross. John 3:15-18 KJV Jesus gave His life so that all who believe in Him would not perish but have eternal life, for He came not to condemn the world, but to save it. By lifting Him up through faith, we choose to follow His example. Declaring what we learn from Him just like He does with His Father. This also means we’re never alone because Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit are always with us. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video When you lift up the Son of Man (written version of above video) John 8:28 KJV 28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. Who is the Son of Man? Jesus is the Son of Man. He is the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the Word of God that became flesh. John 1:1-4 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. John 1:14 KJV 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Genesis 1:1-3 KJV In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. As you can see, Jesus was there in the beginning as a spirit with God who created this world. Jesus entered this world through a virgin named Mary and was born as a man. He died on the cross for our sins as a man who never sinned. Our sin was placed on Him at the time of his death. Jesus, as the Son of Man offered Himself that the world through Him might be saved. As you can see, Jesus is the redeemer of humankind, and this is how He is known as the Son of Man because He, the Son of God was born of a virgin named Mary. Isaiah 7:14 KJV 14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Luke 1:34-35 KJV 34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. He was God in spirit in the beginning, who became a man, who died for our sins, and rose from the dead as first fruits with His new body as a man. John 3:15-18 KJV 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 1 Corinthians 15:20 KJV 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. Now that we have confirmed through scripture that Jesus is the Son of Man, let’s go back to our opening scripture: John 8:28 KJV 28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. Do you see that Jesus uses the act of faith in this scripture? He said you need to lift Him up first, then you will know…know what? Know that He is the one the scriptures talk about. James 2:17-22 KJV 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? You see, you need to lift Him up first, then you will know who Jesus is. How do you lift Him up? Call on Him. Romans 10:9 KJV 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Confessing with your mouth is calling out to Jesus. In essence, you lift Him up in your heart and acknowledge out loud that He is Lord Jesus, and you will know that He is Lord Jesus. John 8:28-29 KJV 28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. 29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. Looking more into this scripture, you find out who Jesus is by realizing, because He said it, that He does nothing of Himself but speaks the things His father taught Him. Then He further states that He’s not alone and that He does the things that pleases His father. He sets an example for us to realize that we’re not alone, we have Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit. And because of that, we do the things that pleases Him. This is what causes me to want to serve and love Him. To put Him first in my life. I took a leap of faith to confess Him and my life has never been better. Does this mean I don’t face issues? No. It means that when trouble comes to me, I’m at peace because I know my Father has those troubles in the palm of His hands. I know Jesus and because I know Him, I also know my father. Within the context of John 8, Jesus is speaking to the pharisees and the scribes letting them know who their faither is based on their actions. John 8:39-40 KJV 39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Jesus makes a clear distinction that your actions determine who you believe. If you want to kill someone, your father is the devil. If you lift up Jesus, you know Him and His father and they become your family. Take the time today to confess and acknowledge Jesus is the Son of God. Once you do, you will know who He is and who His father is, and it will change you for the better. Home Watch the Video Teaching
