Jesus is Lord, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, God in the flesh who died on that cross for our sins and rose again from the dead. Lord, we are grateful today that every bit of that was foretold thousands of years, hundreds of years, many prophecies foretold the coming of the Messiah, the one true Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, to those who will believe and repent of their sin. Lord, we pray today that eyes will be opened and hearts will be touched, convicted, brought to repentance, that they will bow the knee willingly and receive your love and forgiveness before they are forced to on the day of judgment. Lord, we pray this today in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. You may be seated this morning. Welcome, everyone. Fire and Grace Church. Those are watching and listening out there all over the world. Now, for some of you, this may be a bit of repetition, but we have new people all the time. We have new people here today. We welcome our visitors and welcome new people watching out there. Um, been praying about this. I was up last night for quite a while praying about all this, but I feel like I'm supposed to go back over some of this, considering the things that are going on in the world right now. And also to address, I guess you'd say some attacks, particularly tax on true evangelical Christianity. Um, I want you to just go ahead and put up the Greg Reese. This is a screenshot. Now, over the years, I have enjoyed Greg Reese's news reports. They have been, you know, he does some pretty good stuff. I'd say I like about 90% of it. But over the last, say, couple of years, it's clear that Mr. Greg Reese and you see where just on this particular site, you got 126,000 views on this particular video here. Um, but he's got quite of a wide influence, large influence. But here's what you need to understand. And listen, I don't listen to ABC, NBC, MSNBC. I don't even listen to Fox News anymore. All that stuff is propaganda. All of its controlled by the same people. It's pretty much owned by one company. Anyway, Black Rock, Vanguard, um, State Street. I mean, those three investment firms pretty much own everything. Um, and so that's why you get the puppet same talking points. It doesn't matter what mainstream news. So you have to go outside the mainstream news to get any real news. Now, every now and then you'll get something that just yeah, that's happening in the world. And it's true on the fake news media. But still you go outside to that night. You know,
I listened to I think Epic Times great. Uh, the S. G. T. Report. Um, I still go to to info wars and I still will watch some Greg Reese sometimes. But you have to remember that not everybody is on our side, even if they pretend to be. You understand? And some people are there to put out just enough truth so they can gain your confidence and then they lead you down the wrong road. And I believe that's what Alex Jones is. I believe that's what Greg Reese is. Now, Greg Reese is pretty much come out is to be a new ager. And this is the same problem we have within the biblical cosmology, aka flat earth community that there's a lot of infiltrators. There's a lot of people claiming, Oh, the true, you know, the revelation of biblical cosmology has opened them up to the creator. And then you find out for some reason, even though they will acknowledge that this is what the Bible has taught all along about creation, you'll find out that they somehow just can't seem to find the whole truth of the Bible. They can't seem to find Jesus in the mix. And Greg Reese is one of these. He actually did a report on info wars about flat earth, right? Biblical cosmology, true biblical creation, but he wants to lead people down the little new age road, right? Now this, I'm not going to play this video because you can watch it if you want to, but it's disturbing. But this is a clear attack from him on Christians concerning the end times and particularly the where what we feel about the nation of Israel and their purpose in end time prophecy and what God's going to do with them, as well as the nature of this. Now let me state something as we get into this because I'm going to talk about what's coming. The Bible tells us what's coming, just like it tells us the truth about creation. It tells us the truth about Jesus coming the first time and being the Messiah who would die for our sins, right? Isaiah 53 foretold at 750 years BC before Jesus showed up. All right, David, a thousand years before Jesus showed up said his hands and feet would be pierced. They would cast lots for his garments. I mean these are specific prophecies. The prophet Micah 5 to Micah 5 to foretold where Jesus would be born in Bethlehem and that was at least, goodness, 700 to 750 years before Jesus showed up. In fact, no other religious leader has multiple like dozens or like we have hundreds of prophecies foretelling everything about their coming like we do. That's why Jesus is completely unique and that's why we know that he is the only true Messiah, but he warned us. Jesus
warned us there will be what? False Christ, false messiahs and false prophets who will show great signs and wonders and they will try to deceive what even the very elect and we have these people. You know, a few years ago to expose the infiltration within the biblical cosmology Flat Earth world, I did a series called Behind the Circus. You know why? Because God let me go behind the circus and see the whole thing and then I exposed every bit of it and I exposed the New Agers, the Torah pushers, the witches, the Satanists, yeah, all of them and boy I caught hell for that. I really actually need to do Behind the Circus 2.0 because there's a whole new crop of Torah pushers and New Agers that are still using Flat Earth, the truth of biblical cosmology to gain a following, to get people's trust and then they lure them into, you know, Old Testament, becoming Old Testament, you know, trying to be Old Testament law keepers and they can't do it. And, you know, I fought that battle 2016, 2017, 2018, you know, and now we got a new crop of them since Rob Skeba's gone, but there's people just come up taking his place now. We got the new Rob Skeba. I won't get into who that is right now. Yeah, and there was a biblical cosmology Flat Earth conference in Florida where I didn't even get invited because they knew probably wasn't a good idea, even though they contacted me. Isn't it funny? And this is what goes on though because, again, the truth, the whole truth, when you get to the whole truth you're willing to talk about the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and you declare who Jesus is, God in the flesh, who died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead and that he is the only way to salvation, to eternal life, to heaven, that really just cuts through all the bull, all the baloney, right? Every bit of it cuts through it and then the New Agers, right, don't like it and they get exposed. But this right here, let me just go and tell you what this is. When you say evangelical Zionists pushing the world into Armageddon, do you know what you're doing by declaring such nonsense? You are actually inciting persecution of Christians, though he did a report one day on how Christians are the most persecuted people in the world, right? But this is what we get, this double talk, right? See Christians, I see that one report and go, oh, Greg Reese is a good guy. They might not all see this. Now, here's the thing. Let me just go ahead and say this right now about
Zionists. There are people that have listened to so much propaganda against Israel and let me just go ahead and say it right now. That thing that's been passed around the Internet since the Internet came along, what is it called? The protocols of the elders of Zion, whatever, that basically is supposed to be the Jew plan to take over the world. If any, if you did any real research, you'd find out that it's going all the way back to Russian, Bolshevik, Soviet propaganda, okay? Now, let me say this very clearly. I'm not saying there are no bad Jews or Zionists. There are, okay? Nobody's ever said that, that they're all a bunch of angels over there in Israel. Now, we do have some extremists when it comes to Israel and I think Greg Locke's a good example of one of those because Pastor Greg Locke not too long ago said, we should just go ahead and bomb the Dome of the Rock and obliterate Gaza basically so Jesus can come back. That is not the attitude of a Christian. Can I just say that right now? And I don't care if he doesn't like it. He can text me and email me and be all mad if he wants to, but it's the truth. He got himself in a big hot water for that one. And then recently, oh yeah, just so he claimed to go to Israel and chisel rocks out of the Eastern Gate that's boarded up. Well, first of all, that's an archaeological site and there's cameras everywhere. And if he had done that, he'd have been arrested. So he lied about it and another pastor called him out, said he'd been there 56 times and he knows that you can't do that. And then he called his friends, this other pastor called his friends in Israel that are work for the government and said, hey, check your cameras and see if Greg Locke chiseled rocks out of the Eastern Gate. And they said, yeah, we checked and he didn't do it. So he's a liar again. Okay, so not only did he lie about me and our group be what happened at his church when we were there for the debate, he's now making up lies about he's helping the Lord come back. He's gonna help the Lord by chiseling a little outside because the Lord when he returns, it's gonna come through the Eastern Gate there area. But see, you did that's fanatical type stuff. Okay, because as Christians, we are called to love everyone, even our enemies. And I'm just gonna tell you right now, I don't want innocent civilians, whether they live in Gaza or Lebanon or Syria or Turkey or Israel or anywhere is a Christian. You don't want innocent civilians wounded, injured, killed in a war. But can I just go ahead and inform
you of something? There is no war where innocent civilians do not get killed. That's what makes it so terrible, not just that the soldiers get killed. But in every war, there will be people that get killed. Now, granted, we've had evil regimes over the years like Hitler and others that have targeted civilians. But let me just say this right now. Okay, let's be clear. One of the reasons that evangelical Christians do love the Jewish people and there are true Jews still in Israel. I just have to inform you of that. The lies that say there are no true Jews in Israel and that the the Israel nation is not part of Bible prophecy coming to pass. That is propaganda deception in its error. It's just not so. I know there's the big debate. The Ashkenazi Jews are not the real not real Jews, blah, blah, blah. They forget Mizrahi Jews, Sephardic Jews, Ethiopian Jews. I mean, there's all kinds of Jews that have come back to the land. And even I could make an argument that Ashkenazi Jews, some of them actually have real ethnic Jewish descent as well. If you do any type of again, any type of real study on this and not just listen to Internet propaganda. You know, but here's the thing. When it comes down to Internet propaganda research or anything else, the Bible is true above all that. Okay, and the Bible said there will be Jews in Israel all the way to the end. That God would restore the Jewish nation two times. That's in Isaiah 11. It's happened twice. They have been destroyed, scattered to the nations. Never could ever did it the first time, and then it was done the second time with Titus and the Roman invasion and destruction. And for over 1700 years, they were scattered to the nations, mostly into Europe, but everywhere. And God said before the last days would happen, he would regather Israel to the land. And I went there in 1988, and I was on a plane flying from Paris to Israel with nothing but European Jews going home from all over the place. So I witnessed it. I was there. I was a witness to history. I was there during the first infant out of the first Palestinian uprising. People were getting shot and killed on the street bombs. I had a bomb carried in front of me, like right in front of me into a bomb truck in Jerusalem at the Jerusalem bus station. I was there when the Israelis had to hit southern Lebanon because there were weapons storage Russian weapons being stored in Lebanon for invasion from the north back then. And they actually happened in 82 and again in 88. So let's get something straight. Israel being a nation. I don't
care if the Rockefellers were involved. I don't care if Am I six and the British crown was involved. I don't care who was involved, bringing it to pass. God said in his Bible here long before it ever happened that he was going to let them become a nation again in the last days. Now that doesn't mean that God condones everything the Israeli government does. Okay, and it's not a blessing on ever. Do you think our government does everything right? No, they do very few things right. Right. And all of them claim to be Christians. Don't shout me down when I'm preaching good. Right. But hear what I hear what I'm saying to you. We don't want Armageddon to come. But it's going to come. We don't want war in Israel. But the Bible says it's going to happen. Okay. So all we're saying is when we see these things, it's not that we're excited about the war breaking out. It's that we just know we're drawing closer and closer to the second coming of Jesus. Now, I know there's a lot of evangelical Christians out there that believe that they're getting out of here before this bad stuff happens. The pre tribulation rapture doctrine. But that is false. And they're going to find out they're not going anywhere, not going anywhere. Now, these things have been brewing over there for a long time. But let me just go back to the Israel question. I went to Israel 1988. And I went there as a young man loaded with gospel tracks and money, cash, one way ticket. Me and my brother went. We didn't know how long we were going to stay. So we were met by Israeli security, Mossad in Paris before we got to Israel. And we got extremely searched and questioned. Okay. Now, Israel knows your coming before you get there. And they usually have know everything about you before you get there. And I'm sure after what we went through, we were probably being followed and watched the whole time we were there. But let me tell you what happened. Do you know you can talk about the anti Christ anti Christian Jewish government all you want to let me tell you what they never interfered with me and my brother preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ all over that country. They could have stopped me at any time. They could have arrested us. They could have thrown us in jail. They could have deported us at any point. I even went into the great synagogue in Jerusalem. I went underground in in the in the old city to a secret church meeting. Now, let
me say this. Do you think I would have got away with that in say Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iraq, Iran? I wonder why? What would have happened to me? If I tried the same thing in those countries at minimum, I'd have been lucky. If I got deported, I would have been arrested, put in jail, probably ever probably killed. And I've been in places where Muslim, the Muslim influence is very strong. And I have had my life endangered by them. I was in Nigeria when 3000 Christians were killed and churches were being burned. I was there preaching. So let me just go ahead and tell you right now, there's a difference between the Israeli, if you want to call them Zionist, but the Israeli government and the Jewish people in Israel versus true Muslim people in the world. You say, oh, no, no, no, there's just very few radical Islam. No, no, let me let me tell you when I was in Israel, not Israel, but I was in Nigeria this the second time and detained because they didn't want. See, I've been detained and deported. Anybody ever done that? Okay, I have been. And while I was sitting in the jail cell in the airport for 12 hours or whatever it was, there was a man beside me from Sudan, very, very well dressed man, clearly successful businessman. He was traveling around. I guess he had business in different countries. Well, anyway, he made the mistake of going to Nigeria without proper. Uh, I think he didn't have a proper visa or something, but they were going to send him back home back to the Sudan. So here's a nice, dressed, wealthy businessman from the Sudan. And we're discussing having a debate about Christianity versus Islam, just talking, not yelling, not screaming, but just talking back and forth. And so, you know, of course, he wasn't gonna agree with me, and I certainly want to agree with him. But we got down toward the end of the conversation, and I said this to him. I said, Well, listen, can we at least agree that nobody should be killing anybody over their religious beliefs? Can you agree with that? He said, No, I cannot because he believed the Quran. He believed the Hadith. He believed that Mohammed was the example to follow. And Mohammed killed Jews and Christians. Period. Mohammed also married a six
year old little girl and then consummated the marriage sexually when she was nine. This is why there's child marriage within Islam. So let me just get it straight right now. There is a huge difference between the Israelis, whether they're secular Jews or they're Orthodox Jews or Hasidic Jews. There's a big difference between them and Islamist. Okay, any day of the week, I would rather be in Israel versus some of these other Muslim countries. All right. And this is just a fact. Okay. I don't know why this is complicated. It seems like it's gotten to be popular in America all of a sudden to make out like Israel is committing genocide. And somehow these Muslim country countries are innocent of any atrocities. Well, let me just say I've been following Bible prophecy for a long time. I can go all the way back to like dinner job when he was president of Iran saying their job was going to be to destroy Israel, to push them into the sea to annihilate them and make sure they did that they wiped them out. Not just that they went to war and conquered them, but that they wiped them out. Now, this is the same country in that time period. Never since then. And this is going back to like 2010 1112. They've been pursuing a nuclear weapon. Now, if you got crazy Islamic leaders talking about we want to wipe Israel off the map. That's genocide. You want to wipe out a whole ethnic or even political group of people that would be the definition of genocide. Would it not be? And then you say we're going to pursue nuclear weapons so that we can do that. Now, if you're Israel, what would you be doing? I will tell you exactly what they would do. And they did it and they did it with Iraq and they did it with Syria because when the Russians helped the Syrians and Iraq and Iran build nuclear power plants so that they could create the nuclear material to build nuclear bombs on end. Of course, then we got the psychos that don't believe nuclear bombs are real, but that's another story. But you know what Israel did? You have told us you want to wipe us off the map, so we're not letting you get a nuclear weapon. And we have bombed or I guess we helped them with F-15s, F-16s, intelligence the U.S. has, but they have preemptively striked both Iraq
when Saddam was there, Syria to cripple their abilities to create a nuclear bomb. Now, here we are in the middle of this with Iran, right? And what's the world been trying to do for years? Negotiate with Iran, stop them from being able to get the nuclear bomb. Why? Because they intend on using it. Y'all understand? So say whatever you want to say, but this is the reality that we live in. Now, here's what I want to tell you, the Bible foretold all this. So let's go to Ezekiel real quick. Ezekiel chapter 38. And I can't believe that was the end. That was a long introduction. And let's start reading it verse one. And he also, Greg Reese, in this video that he did, made fun of these passages about, he even mocked the fact that evangelical Christians believe Gog and Magog is Russian. Well, I'm going to show you why we know it is. We don't think it is. We know it is. And there's absolute proof to that point. But let's read this. This is, you know, 600 plus BC, this time period. Then the word of the Lord came into me saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog and the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshach and Tubal and prophesy against him. I say, thus saith the Lord God, behold, I'm against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshach and Tubal. And I will turn thee back and put hooks into thy jaws and I will bring thee forth and all thine army, horses and horsemen and all them clothed with all sorts of armor, even a great company with buckler and shields, all of them handling swords, Persia, let me say this, Persia, Ethiopia and Libya with them, with them, all of them with shield and helmet, Gomer and all his bands in the House of Togarmah of the North quarters and all his bands and many people with thee and be thou prepared and prepare thyself and all thy company that are assembled unto thee and be thou guard unto them. After many days shalt thou be visited in the latter years. Somebody say latter years. If you look this up, it means in the last days in the end time and the last days of the end time are the things that lead up to the second coming of Jesus Christ and him establishing his kingdom. And he says here, in the latter years, it shall come, thou shall come into the land that is brought back from the sword and gathered out of many people against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste, but it is brought forth out of the nations and they shall dwell safely all of them. Now, before I read verse nine, I want you to hear this. He's saying, where are you going to come into the land? What land of Israel in the last days? And
this is going to be the people who were gathered from all over because they were scattered. Everybody see this. We're not making this up. This is what the Bible says. Now, here's another interesting hint that it would be in our time, because when did the airplane? When was the airplane invented? Somebody know? No. First one. When is 1906? Right? The Wright brothers remember that. So we didn't have airplanes until 1906. And we didn't have sophisticated airplanes so much, much longer after that. Listen to what verse nine says when he says about this country who's going to come to Skag and Magog is going to come from the north with all these people, Persia, Ethiopia, Libya, Gomer, the House of Togarmah. I'm going to show you who those are here in a second. But he says here in verse nine, thou shalt ascend. That means to go up in the air and come like a storm. An army is going to ascend into the sky and come like a storm. Oh, my. When could that have happened? Not in the first century for those crazy Preterist out there that are in the air and these Tataria millennial kingdom already happened nonsense and that Jesus already came in 70 AD all that deception. No, it had to be what this prophecy after the invention of the airplane, right? But he goes on to say you're going to come into the land into Israel. Well, let's let's let's keep reading. We'll go down, drop down to verse 14. He says, Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, thus sayeth the Lord God, in that day when my people of Israel dwellest safely and shout thou not know it now. Israel has one of the most powerful armies in the world. They have nuclear weapons. You know, for many years, it's been a very safe place to go. It's except for when there's like these uprisings that they have to deal with. But he says thou shall come from thy place out of the north parts. Thou and many people with the all of them riding upon horses, a great company and a mighty army and thou shall come up against my people of Israel as a cloud to cover the land and it shall be in the latter days, the last days, the end time that I'll bring thee against my land that the heathen may know me when I shall be sanctified in the O Gog before their eyes. Thus sayeth the Lord God, art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants, the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days, many years that would bring thee against them. And it shall come to pass at that time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, sayeth the Lord God, that my fury shall come up in my face for in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken. Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel. And so the Lord goes on to say he's going to call for a sword against him,
drop down to verse 22. He says, and I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood and I will rain upon him upon his bands and upon many people that are with him and overflowing rain and great hell stones and brimstone. Thus will I magnify myself and sanctify myself. I will be known in the eyes of many nations. They shall know that I am the Lord. Now let's put this up. Put up the map. Make sure phones are off. Let's put up the map of this area from 1878. This is an old map. All right. Now, of course, this down here, the land of Israel, this is a Mediterranean Sea. OK. And this is telling you where these regions are. And these were actually written on the map. Gomer and Togarmah. That's Turkey right there. Right. Meshik and Tubal right over here. Right. Gomer the end over here. This is the Black Sea. And he says Magog. OK. And it actually says it on the map. Magog. You see that. Now, where do you think the map makers got this information from? Let's go back to the first century Jewish historian Josephus. He was, you know, really into the first century into the second century B.C. And this is what he said when he was given the genealogy of this. And again, even even Wikipedia admits this ancient and medieval views. Josephus refers to Magog, the son of Japheth as the progenitor of the Scythians or people's what north of the Black Sea. He says the Greeks called them Scythia Magagia. Right. What is north of the Black Sea right now? Russia. This is not complicated. Let's look at the actual quote from Josephus. And I have the book in my office right now. The complete works of Josephus. And here he says for Gomer founded those whom the Greeks now called the Galatians, but were then called the Gomerites. Magog founded those that from him were named the Magogites but who are by the Greeks called the Scythians. And so in Russia in their equivalent to our Smithsonian, guess what they have an entire section of Scythian or Magogite artifacts declaring this is where the Russian people came from. What's interesting when you look at who migrated up there to become what was called the Scythians, they were some of
them Iranian, which is interesting because or Persian that the Russians and the Persians, the Iranians are not just allies now, but they're actually related to each other. That's a strange little truth here. But let's put up the Euphrates River here. Now, one of the things we know from Bible prophecy that's about to come into pass Revelation chapter nine says, and I believe the next trumpet to be blown see, I believe five trumpets already been blown. So if y'all y'all will have to go and listen to my message on the trumpets, but the sixth trumpet war y'all gonna if you want to turn in your Bible's turn there, but the sixth trumpet war in Revelation nine says that four angels are going to be loosed in the Great River Euphrates. And here's the river Euphrates. Guess where it starts? It starts in Turkey, goes to Syria all the way through Iraq and then touches Iran down here for about 50 miles or so. So it's the Euphrates River touches four nations. It's interesting. He says four angels and these are the bad ones that have been chained. He said are going to be loosed and when this happens, when those four bad angels fallen angels are loosed in the Great River Euphrates, he said there's going to be a war that's going to last for one year, one month, one day, one hour, right? And says it's going to kill one third of mankind by fire. So we were told by the Bible in both Ezekiel the Old Testament and the New Testament that a massive war would start out of this region here, meaning Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, that they would be the players against Israel. Now, notice if you go back to Ezekiel 38, it says Persia will be with God and may God. So we've established from history, right? Josephus, one of the most accurate ancient historians, old map, right? Greek history and culture that the Magogites for Russia. And so it says Gog is the chief prince. So meaning whoever's the leader of Magog will join up with Iran, Persia, because Iran used to be called until 1935. I ran was Persia. Okay. But they're going to join with Iran. And what Libya, Togarmah, Turkey, there's going to be a coalition of nations that come together with Magog to invade Israel. All right. Now, here, here what I'm about to say, do we see this happening in the world? Let's put up the Russian threat one here. Have the Russians
threatened Israel? Oh, yeah. Because Israel just targeted this guy, Hamas's boss, and they're very good at finding people. You know, remember, after World War Two, they went hunting the Nazis that were hiding all over the world, and they found them all. But they took this guy out. And Russia is upset. Keep going, scroll through. Let's go to the next one. He calls it an unacceptable political murder, as if he had done the same thing. And they're funny how these people work. And you know, this guy right here, this guy is probably God, y'all. If he keeps living, he's God. You notice how he's not gone away as the leader of Russia in a so called democracy. He seems to always get voted in. And his opponents seem to die. Hmm. Isn't that interesting? Kind of like our country's come becoming, right? Let's keep going. He says here there is no doubt the assassination of Ismael Haniya, or however you say that will have an extremely negative impact on media contracts between Hamas and Israel. He also said this, we'll look at one more here. But he says the organizers of this political assassination were aware of the dangers and the consequences for the entire region. Put up turkeys, threats, they're doing of Turkey as Jerusalem posts. Why turkeys are doing threatened Israel with proxy war. He didn't just threaten a proxy war. He threatened invasion. Look at the others. I read what he said, and I just listened to the video. Turkey threatens to invade Israel. Who's Turkey? And I ran put up the Iran threats. Who's Turkey? Also allied with Russia. So that's Turkey's the Togarmah, the House of Gomer. Right? US forces move toward Israel as Iran threatens to attack. Is this it? I've been watching this this little chess board move around like this for the last, say, 15 years or so. But I think we are moving into a whole different season. And we see just a lot of these pieces coming together. But let me
say this. Why does God, why is the Lord so specific in the Bible about what will happen in the end? Why do we have these things? Well, why do we have Ezekiel 38 and 39? Why do we have Revelation nine telling us exactly where all of this is going to come from and how it's going to start and the nations that are going to be involved, the nations that are going to be in a coalition that eventually will invade and attack Israel and pay a dear price for it. Why does he tell us all this? I want to tell you the number one reason he says is put up John 13 verse 19. Here's the number one reason he gives us these specific prophecies. Jesus made this statement. Now this is a principle. Of course, in this he was foretelling his betrayal and his upcoming crucifixion. But he gives us this principle. He said, Now I tell you before it comes that when it comes to pass, you may believe that I am he. All the prophecies of the Bible from the first coming of Jesus and all the prophecies about leading up to the second coming of Jesus is so that you will believe Jesus Christ is the Savior, the Messiah, God in the flesh, the only way, the only truth and the only life. That's why it's all there. And if you can't get it, if you can't see it with all these specific prophecies, then either you are totally spiritually blinded by the devil or you're knowingly working for the other side because you've chosen Satan side. You've chosen to serve Lucifer, the dragon, the serpent, the devil. So is Greg Reese just deceived or working for the other side? I don't know. Because I've heard that these influencers, if you get a big, big following, you get a visit and an offer. And it's amazing how they don't get censored like people like me. They pretend sometimes like they get censored, but it seems like they never go away, right? Because there's a purpose. I'll tell you, for instance, Alex Jones, Alex Jones puts out a lot of truth. He lets a lot of people on his platform that tell a lot of truth. But then he goes on Joe Rogan and basically says that the Bible is really an alien book and he starts pushing the alien deception and the alien agenda. And then it actually mentions me
talks about this, this dumb preacher in Alabama that's making Joe Rogan mad about the firmament issue. And I'm like, huh? I remember Sal and Jordan were listening to Joe, that Joe Rogan. And they said, he's talking about Pastor Dean. But why does that make him mad? Why does this dump this what they created this dumb preacher in Alabama? If I'm so dumb, why am I upsetting you dumb, crazy preacher in Alabama? Is that what they said? I'd have to go back and listen to it. Why? Because I don't stop. I don't stop at their new age belief system. I don't stop at their half truths. I don't stop at their controlled opposition. I tell everybody, here's what the Bible says from Genesis to Revelation. And this Bible is all about one individual. It's pointing to God in the flesh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And out of all the names of God in this book, he said, there's one name that is above every other name of God Almighty. And that is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. And if you don't accept him, if you don't come to him, if you don't humble yourself and bow the knee and confess that he is Lord, he is God, he is King. He's the only one that can wash your sins away. You are going to be deceived. You're going to follow Satan, whether you know it or not, you're going to end up taking the mark of the beast for the most part. Most of them will most all of the great majority will, or you're going to die in your sins in unbelief because you've chosen to believe in some new age energy or some Hindu God or some or Buddha. And it's amazing. There's no prophecies that foretold Buddha come. There's no prophecies that foretold Muhammad come. There's only one that we can prove by ancient manuscripts that are thousands of years old. And guess what? They start trying to deny those all those ancient manuscripts and God will make sure somebody digs up some more. He said, the stones will cry out in here. It's funny because we'll just say that it's funny. Every time liberal theologians have said, oh, this, this isn't the Bible couldn't be true. We dig it up and find out it was every single time. See, it did amazing. I'm confident in my faith of
Jesus, not just because it's some blind faith or because I need religion crutch to lean on. I believe it because there is evidence. There is supernatural proof, supernatural proof. You know, I have the book by Josh McDowell, who, by the way, if you never heard of Josh McDowell, go, go look up his books. He was an atheist that came to Jesus. And the reason he came to Jesus is because he decided to prove that there was no way that Jesus existed. There was no way the resurrection was true. There was no way the Bible was true. And he started to do a deep, honest research, history, manuscript. He starts digging into it. And he goes, it's true. You could take evidence that demands a verdict, volume one in two. And you want to talk about overwhelming evidence, every archaeological discovery, every manuscript, fragment, and sometimes entire books that we have. But here's one that he pointed out. And I love that. I think I mentioned this the other day, but think about this. They did the laws of compound probabilities, right? Math, fun math. But they said the the likelihood that Jesus is not the prophesied Messiah, the Savior, the Emmanuel, the God with us, the likelihood that if you just took 30 of those Old Testament, just 30, not 300, but if you just took 30 of those, like where he would be born, his hands and feet would be pierced. He would be buried in a dead man's tomb. I mean, all the stuff, you just take 30 of those. And the likelihood of all of that coming to pass in one man. It's like burying the state of Texas, two feet deep in quarters, painting one orange and of someone jumping out of a plane and landing on that quarter. That's the likelihood that Jesus is not the Messiah, the Savior. That's that is I mean, he goes through this in great detail. So when I say this, I mean, you don't even have to you don't even have say, oh, I just believe it by faith. No, there is evidence. There is actually it's irrefutable evidence when you have all of these things. And God said, again, back to this first, I tell you these things before they happen. When they happen, you will believe and see here's, here's the problem. These new agers and all these different people, their
problem is this, is that they love their sin. They love money. They love fame. They love to do what they want to do. And to have to acknowledge the Bible is true. And Jesus is really God and the Savior, the Redeemer. That means they have to confront their sin and they're going to have to stop their sin and live for him. And that's they can't do it. Now they can, but they say that I love that. Remember, the rich young ruler runs to Jesus said, Jesus looked at him, loved him. This is Mark chapter 10. What must I do to inherit eternal life? You know, the commandments do not commit adultery, do not steal. You know, he, Jesus went down almost all the commandments, not all of it. He didn't deal with one in two. And the guy says, you know, all these commandments I've kept from my, my youth up. Oh, so you've tried to be a good moral person. So Jesus tells him one thing you lack though, son, one thing, go sell everything you have, give it to the poor and come and follow me. And he said, the man was sad. Think about how close he was, but yet he turned and left and died in his sin because money was his God and everything that money provides you power, influence, comfort, ease. See Jesus put his finger on his idol. Now that doesn't mean that everybody that comes to Jesus has to sell everything they have and give it, give it away and follow him. But he might actually ask you to do that. The thing is, do you love Jesus more than you love your sin, your money, your comfort when Jesus has take up your cross and follow me. First of all, cross was heavy, right? And as old Leonard Ravenhill used to say, you knew a man that was carrying the cross wasn't coming back, meaning he was going to be nailed to it. He was going to suffer. And this is something that we got to understand these people, a lot of these people, a lot of people aren't even willing to take the heat from friends, family, co workers. And so they don't go all the way and serve Jesus with all their heart, soul, mind and strength. And yet a lot of them will claim like they're ready to die for Jesus. Well, you won't live for him now. But folks, it's all here.
It's all here. It was all here before I put up Isaiah nine, six, please. And anybody that denies that Jesus Christ is not God almighty in the flesh is a deceiver and a liar and antichrist, because this is who Jesus is right here. The prophecy, 750 years by the prophet Isaiah, which they found the entire book of Isaiah and the Dead Sea Scrolls, entire book of Isaiah. And guess what? It matched the Isaiah that we have in our King James version. Imagine that 2300 year old copy of Isaiah and the one we have right here in this King James version has not changed at all. Well, that shut up some liberal scholars, didn't it? He says here for unto us, a child is born unto us. A son is given two things he tells us child is going to be born. It's going to be a male child. Okay. And then he says this and the government shall be upon his shoulder. Did he say a government? Oh, the government. Eventually he will rule all the kingdoms of the world. The second thing it says here, his name shall be called wonderful counselor, a God, no, the somebody say the the mighty God, the everlasting father, the Prince of Peace. See these Torah Hebrew roots movement pushers out here. They love to emphasize that Jesus is no, he's just the son of God. Oh, he's just a part of God. Oh, he's just a man that is anointed by God. He's not God. They will deny that Jesus is God in the flesh. Islam denies that Jehovah witnesses Mormons, every new age. It's funny in the new age movement, everybody can be God, but Jesus is not right. This is what it says about him. His name should be called what? Emmanuel God with us. Go to John one more. New Testament says the same thing. I don't know why I'm going down this road. I'm going as for somebody because somebody needs this because if you don't know that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, you don't know the real Jesus. And you know what I'm finding out. There's a lot of people. There is a lot of people who think
they're Christians and they've never been born again. And probably one of the things blocking some of them is this belief that they have the wrong belief that Jesus is not God in the flesh. But here it is. In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. Now, wait a minute. How do you have be with God? But you are God. See, I know there's a big and there's a big push out there right now against the Trinity or the triune nature of God. But I have explained this many times that God is one God, but he has three very distinct parts. Now, some people say persons, but I believe he's one but has three very distinct different aspects, right? Father, Son, Holy Spirit, but all one. I explain it like this. The Bible says in first Thessalonians 5 23 that every human being has a spirit, a soul and a body. We have three parts. Okay. And when I die, if I die before Jesus comes back, my spirit and soul separate from my body and the spirit and soul are not the same thing. They're two different parts. So my spirit and soul separate from my body. My body goes in the grave and at the second coming of Jesus, the dead in Christ, what will rise up first? We get a new body. It's glorified, resurrected, eternal, immortal, incorruptible. But God will give me a new body that will unite again with my spirit, my soul. Now, if I could split apart here and the spirit of being could stand here and the soul of being can stand here and the body of being can stand here. It wouldn't be three things. You get what I'm saying? Because it's all three that make me who I am, but they are distinctly different and can operate separate at times. Now, the Bible says we are created in the image of God, right? Genesis one 26. So if I am three parts, but one Dean, then God is three parts, but one God, does that help anybody? So whether you say the father or whether you say Jesus or whether you say the Holy Spirit, every part, every distinct part is fully. Somebody say fully God. This is why go to Colossians two eight nine. None of this was planned. Somebody needs this. Beware less than a man spoil you through philosophy and vain to see that the tradition traditions of men after the rudiments of the world and not after Christ's wife or in him who in Christ he's talking about in
him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily somebody say all the fullness of the Godhead is bodily Jesus. So when you, this is why John 14, I'm going to turn there. John 14 verse eight. What does Phillips say here? The apostle Phillips sayeth unto him, Lord, show us the father and it will suffice us or it will satisfy. And Jesus said to him, have I been so long a time with you and yet hast thou not know me? Philip, he that has seen me has seen the father. How say us then show us the father? Jesus, how do you even say that? How do you even say show us the father? You not understand if you've seen me, you've seen the father. Now look, I'd say this right now. If you've seen me, you haven't seen my father. Right. So there's obviously something different going on here. Right. Just know this Jesus Christ is not just a man. He's not just a teacher. He's not just a prophet. He's not just the son of God. That's a title in which he operated in. But he is God in the flesh. And that is what Paul called the great mystery. God manifested in the flesh. Right. First Timothy 316, but that would now if your Bible doesn't say God was manifest in the flesh, you have a corrupted Bible version. You can get rid of it. This is a 316 to test your Bible right here. And without controversy, greatest the mystery of godliness, God was manifest in the flesh justified in the spirit scene of angels preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world and received up into glory. God was met. Somebody say God was manifested in the flesh. And in the Greek, it doesn't say he, it says Theo Scott. So the original Greek manuscript says Theo. So any Bible that translate this, he instead of God is incorrect. Y'all got that. So I say all this. The reason I talk about these prophecies, the reason I preach in time Bible prophecy, the reason I talk about the prophecies that foretold Jesus first coming and now his second coming all you know what God has me do it so that you will
believe. And I'm not talking about just believe with a mental ascent. That word believes means enough belief that you trust in Jesus Christ fully as God, as King, as Lord, as Savior, as Messiah, that he's the one that can wash away your sins, that he is the one coming back again to make all things right, to rule the kingdoms of the world with a rod of iron. And yes, it's going to get ugly at the end. There is going to be the Battle of Armageddon. There is going to be before the Battle of Armageddon. This is six Trumpet war, the Gog and the Magog war. It's going to be ugly. We don't want that to happen, but that is the way it's going to be. And it's not because God is causing it to happen. The Lord, it says he knows these things because of his foreknowledge. He gives us human beings the choice to do good or evil. And mankind, for the most part now is choosing to follow Satan and Satan's plan. That is why it's going to result in death and destruction. And people all the time, you know, the atheist, and I've said this many times, but I will say it again. The atheists always go, why does God allow evil in the world? Well, guess what? See, you're going to be just as unhappy when he comes and finally puts a stop to it because he said the only reason that he hadn't done it already is because he's being very patient with mankind and giving us a chance to repent, turn from evil, turn from wickedness and accept the sun, the Messiah, the Savior, his shed blood for the forgiveness of our sin. He's given us he's given us time upon time upon time. And then he calls crazy preachers in Alabama to get up and tell you again and again and again. See, I had the Lord come to me in 2008 right after Nancy and I got married. I remember we were sitting in the den, the house in Georgia, before we moved here. And I'm sitting there just praying about you know, getting ready for we were to come over here to, you know, when we started the church and the Lord, boy, he came upon me so strong and he said, you better start preaching in time prophecy again. He said, you do not want to be a pastor living in that time and not talking about it, not preaching it like you don't and I felt it. You don't want to stand before me and to not have warned him about
what's coming. I see Gregory's he can get mad all he wants to. He needs to get saved is what he needs to do. He needs to get born again. And I want to tell you this right now. There's a lot of there's even people I'm just gonna say there's even people that supplied for our ministry school right now that I questioned whether they've been born again. And I just won't say there are people out there that are convinced that they're born again because I believe in Jesus or I go to church or, you know, I was in worship one time and I felt the peace. Let me tell you right now you can the atheist that I led to Jesus in Israel felt the peace of God hit him when we were in the garden to him where Jesus rose from the day but he can get saved right then. Now we went back to the room and he was under Holy Spirit conviction and God had kind of just touched him and revealed himself to him. But he had to pray the prayer and make a decision to truly repent and give his life to Jesus. And so when I led him in prayer when he said I want this Jesus y'all have been talking about and I led him to accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior. The power and presence of the Holy Spirit came down upon him in a powerful way and he was truly born again. Let me tell you something. Getting born again is a supernatural experience where you know the power, presence, peace of God has come in and washed your sins away. You feel the weight of your sin lifted off of you. You feel filled with love and peace and joy. It is a true encounter with God. And if you haven't had that I don't care how many times you've been baptized, sprinkled dumped. I don't care how many church services you've attended. I don't care if you've given all your money to the poor. I don't care what you've done. I don't care if you've taken communion. I don't care if you sang in the choir for your whole life. What you must be born again and that starts from knowing who Jesus really is and what he has done and being willing to acknowledge him as your Lord and Savior and to say my life now is yours. So many people haven't done that. You know what they want? They want Jesus as a as a fire insurance card or or for you know to help them get the new job, the blessed new job or the big house. So they oh yeah, I pray to Jesus. You know what
they've done now. A lot of people and this is why they're not born again because they've got a shelf full of idols and they say, well, I just need to add Jesus to this shelf. Know what Jesus wants you do is you tear down the shelf. You burn all those idols up and he's the only one. He's the pearl of great price. Now look, our job is Christians. If you're truly born again, the next thing you should be asking is to be baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues and in the power of God coming in your life. If that hadn't happened yet, then that's what you should be pursued. If you know you're born again, that's the next step. After that, what does it say? Acts one eight says, what's the purpose of once you know who the Savior is, once you know the gospel, once you've experienced it, once it's changed your life, then you've been filled with the Holy Ghost in power. What's the Holy Ghost baptism for that? You may have power to be a witness because if you know you just got saved from going to hell from being separated from God for all eternity and you know what's coming on the world, you should want others to know. I remember when I got born again, truly born again, truly repented, got filled with the Holy Spirit. I wanted everyone to know what I have found. Amen. It came naturally. It wasn't, I didn't have to force it. And then God, God moved me at that time. I mean, I'm talking about 1987 immediately into following and studying Bible prophecy. So see, here's the thing. You know why God's revealed all this and I'm not going to go much longer here, but this is why God's revealed all of this stuff. Because on the day of judgment, when you stand for him, if you die or he comes back and you have to stand before Jesus Christ as the judge of the living in the dead, you stand before him and you're going to give an account. You hear me? You're going to give an account for what you did with your life. Were you a light or were you a deceiver? Because you're going to lead people one way or the other. You hear me? See, there's a lot of Christians out there that think, oh, I'm getting in, man. I'm getting crowns and jewels in my crown. If I hear that one more time, the people talking about I'm getting crowns and jewels, they're the last people need to be talking about that because I'm going to tell you right now, I'm not worried about crowns and jewels. I just want to get in. I don't care if I got a shack in the corner somewhere. I just want to get in
there. And I know that I'm capable of falling, getting deceived, getting in sin, the devil dragging me down, me giving in. I know the weakness of my own flesh. That's why Paul said, look, I just want to hit Paul even said, though I preach the gospel and he says, woe is me if I don't. But he said, I just want to make it. He said, I just want to make it there because he knew his own flesh. He knew he's seen good men, good women fall away and get deceived and get led astray. And so he knew just because he's an apostle, he knew I'm not some superhuman individual. I can fall too. I could become, he said, I could become a castaway. So let me tell you right now, I ain't worried about crowns and jewels and mansions. I just want to get in. I just don't want to hear the words. You knew what you should have done and you didn't do it. Do not want to hear those words. I do not want to hear the words depart from me. And that's why I tell you the truth Sunday after Sunday after Sunday, because I'm not going to have your blood on my hands. I am motivated. I don't care about building a big church or being rich or being famous or any of those things. I am motivated by one thing. I will stand before the judge. Actually, I'll be kneeling and I will be able to say to him, I told them everything you told me to tell them. I warned them. I warned them about hell. I warned them about Judgment Day. I warned them about the end times. I warned them that they're not escaping in some pre-tribulation round. I warned them Lord. I told them they couldn't be adulterers and drunkards and homosexuals and that they had to, you know, we're all born wrong. The first time we got to be born again. That's why. Oh, but I was born with these homosexual desires. You know what? I was born with a desire to punch somebody in the face, but I have to resist that. Goodness. Do we all have desires that are wrong? Lord help us, especially when stupid people get in your face with stupid stuff. You're like, Lord, God help me. Right. We resist
wrong impulses and ask Jesus to help us have the right impulses. Right. So that works for whether it's adultery or fordication or homosexuality or anything else or alcohol or drugs or whatever. We all need forgiveness of those sins and we all need help not to go back to them. Right. But you have to walk to a lot of people say, oh yeah, I want to know you don't want you don't want the problems that your sins cause. You want relief from those, but you don't really want to stop them. And the Lord knows that too about you. But see, when you love Jesus, when you fall in love with Jesus and you will hate sin and you will hate lies and you will hate false doctrine and you will hate deception. You will hate anything that might try to tear you away from him or tear other people away from you will hate it. And if you hate it enough, if you hate all that evil stuff and all those lies and deception, you will not just hate it, but you will speak against it and you will do everything you can to try to drag people out of it. Let's stand. I don't know how to preach Jesus in him better than that. He's coming back. Y'all. He came the first time. There's a little baby in a manger, meek and mild, healing the sick, casting out demons, helping people, calling sinners to repentance, eating with the publicans and the sinners, loving on people, weeping over Jerusalem and what was going to happen. But this next time he's coming on a white horse with the armies of heaven behind him and out of his mouth is going to go a sharp two-edged sword and he is going to tread the wine press of humanity. And he said the blood will be all over his garments, the blood of his enemies, said it's going to be so bad, the blood will run in the valley of Armageddon to the horse's bridle. I can't even imagine that he's coming back as the lion of the tribe of Judeo and that lion will destroy the wicked and he will exalt the righteous to inherit the kingdom and to rule and reign with him for a thousand years. People asked me all the time
with Pastor Dean, who's going to be alive through the millennial reign. Well, there's going to be some, a few of them, not all. There's going to be a few of these deceived truthers that don't take the mark but survive and God's going to allow them to go through it. I believe the 144,000 are preserved to repopulate the world during the millennial reign, but there's going to be normal human beings here for a thousand years. The glorified saints are going to rule and reign over that, over cities and over nations. We're going to warn them of the final release of Satan and the final deception. And there's going to be rebels during that thousand years. And finally, Satan's going to be loosed and he's going to go out and deceive them again. There's going to be one more Gog, may Gog war. See, there's really two. I improved you as two different ones. But see, nobody's going to fight in the second one because the rebels of the millennial reign, well, it says, will surround the camp of the saints and fire from God will come down and destroy them all instantaneously. It's going to be no war. Remember, one of the things about Jesus say that the thousand year millennial reign, no war, no war, no swords, no bombs, no bullets. Oh, you want to rebel? It's over. And you know, and for those out there saying, I'm against dispensationalism, you know what you are? I won't say it. Let me tell you what dispensation means. It simply means time period. The Old Testament was a time period. Now we're under the New Testament. That's another time. These are dispensations. Right. We had that we're in the new covenant, the church age time. When Jesus returns, we'll go into the millennial reign. That'll be another dispensation and have different aspects too. And then after the millennial reign, there's going to be another one called eternity. I don't know. We don't know what to call it. He said, I'm going to make a new heavens and a new earth. And I'm going to give you things that you even have not even entered your mind that you've not even heard about that. It's not even written about. So I just call that eternity. But just know this. Don't miss out. Right now is a dress rehearsal. It's a dress rehearsal for eternity. That's what Leonard Raven is in. And this is a blip of time compared to what that's going to be. So why would you sell your soul for so little? Is an adulterous affair worth missing all eternity?
Y'all hear me? Let's pray. Father in heaven, we just come to you and I just thank you that you've shown us these things before they come to pass so that we might believe and that we might believe everything in your Bible, your inspired infallible word that you've given to us from Genesis to Revelation, or you have given us the truth. And that Bible tells us about heaven and hell. It tells us about how you want us to deal with sin and wickedness and evil in our lives that you want us to repent, turn away from it and let the blood of Jesus that we shed on that cross wash our sins away. And you want us to walk in the light of Jesus Christ, the light of the gospel, the light of the truth of the word of God and be faithful until the end. And whether that means we lose everything or everyone turns against us or we have to die as a martyr that we have determined to love you, put you first, preach the truth, be a light, be a witness, live a holy, obedient life. Lord, I pray that people watching and listening others, many that have been on the fence that know what I'm saying is true, but still want to drink, get drunk, still want to, they're still playing around in sexual sin and they're still smoking marijuana or taking drugs. But they know what I'm saying is true, but they haven't fully surrendered. Or today is the day you said today is the day of salvation, not tomorrow. Nobody's promised tomorrow. Today is the day of salvation. Repent today. Make Jesus Lord of your life today. Give him your heart, your life, surrender to him until you know that you have been born again by the witness of the Holy Spirit coming in. This is vitally important. And Jesus said in Matthew 24, those that endure to the end will be saved. You can't take the mark of the beast. You can't bow the knee to that Antichrist system. You have to be faithful unto death or faithful unto the second coming. So Lord, we pray in the name of Jesus that many will come to know you before this terrible war comes that will kill one third of mankind. We pray for a revival, an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We pray this in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Y'all okay? Y'all want to do a song? You got a good one? All right. There we go. Yes. Sing this. Y'all got seven minutes. You can
worship the Lord. All right, let's do that. Is that seven minutes? Six minutes. Steve covered by your grace. So for me, you're I'm a sinful man, but I'm covered by the blood of the land. Since you laid down the greatest sacrifice with me tonight, Majesty Crazers fight just as I am. The hand is to me. I'm so that I can
the lover of our soul. We're so glad that he he first loved us when we were blind and deceived. We're thankful, Lord, that you loved us and went to the cross for us. All the things I just don't understand must recount your faithfulness and the mercy of your is said and done. And there's nothing left to cross. I'll for a minute say
this, if you're here today, the Lord is here and you if you're here today and you don't really know that you're born again, all you have to do is believe in your heart that he is God, he is king, he is the Savior, the one who died on the cross for your sins and rose from the dead the third day. You say that I believe I believe all that Lord Jesus, I ask you to forgive me my sins to come into my life, wash my sins away. I turn from my sin. I repent today and I surrender to you. I give my life to you, Lord, from now on, it's yours. I'm going to do what you want me to do. It's all you have to do and start doing start seeking him, start reading the Bible, spend time in prayer and worship, talk to him and let him talk to you and let him change your life and do that and tell you absolutely know you are truly born again and walking with Jesus. Amen. All right. Well, y'all know the drill couple of announcements were past applications for Frank Gray School of Ministry. So you have to wait to next year. If you want to do that, if you my wife says, if you apply, check your email, you still have things to do. And this is only the beginning of things you have to do. All right. That's a lot to do. Also, Skyfall 2024 coming up. Right. So October twenty fifth through the twenty seventh. Still don't know where exactly, but no, we don't know yet, but hopefully it's going to be the land out there that we bought in Casita, but just be praying about all that. And I guess that's it. Is there any other things we need to know about? All right. Hugsome next before you leave. We love y'all out there. Y'all know
