We pray, dear Lord, that you first, dear Lord, encourage our hearts. Dear Lord, let us continue to be open to hear and receive. Dear Jesus, give us energy, dear Lord. Let it pour into us in this time, dear Lord. Continue to let our cup have room to be filled, dear Jesus, even to the point of overflow, dear Lord, so that we can hear what the Spirit is saying, dear Jesus, that we don't get tired or weary, because every message is important, dear Lord, and comes from the word of God, dear Jesus, something that we have to meditate on as truth. So let us hear today what the Spirit is saying on this time, at this timeline, on this day.
Dear Jesus, let us continue to be blessed by Your Holy Spirit that works through each and every one of us. Dear Lord, as You speak in and through Pastor Sandy, dear Lord, that he hears, dear Lord, and that we're able to hear and receive, dear Jesus, hot off the press, dear Lord. We bless You, dear Lord, for every revelation that comes through this pulpit, dear Lord. Let us be blessed, dear Lord, surrendering all unto You. In Jesus' name, we pray and we thank You. Amen.
Amen. Amen. All right. [clears throat] Let the birthday girl go and take her kids with her. You want to go to the young people's meeting? He's like, "Nope. I'm a grown man." Praise the Lord. All right. Um, if you guys are ready, are you guys ready? We got, I'm, I'm looking at Pastor Ben and you guys are set. Okay. All right. Good. Okay.
So, uh, praise the Lord. We are going to, um, start today's message in the book of, uh, of Revelation. And we're going to be in verse 10. Chapter 19, verse 10. Okay. Okay. Are you there?
>> All right. And here's what it says. It says, "At this I fell at my at fell at my feet to worship him." Uh, this is John. He's talking and, um, an angel comes to him to give him a message. And, um, he says when he saw the angel and the angel gave him the message, he said, "At this I fell at my feet to worship him." Meaning the angel. But the angel said to him, "Do not do it. I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." Okay.
So the testimony of Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy. Who is Jesus? He is the word of God. He is the Logos. So the testimony of what Jesus Christ speaks is always going to be prophecy. He's speaking about another event that is coming, as he's speaking to you about a current thing that's happening. The whole Bible, from its very beginning, is first going to announce to you the end. God wants you to know from Genesis chapter 1, he started this whole thing with a scheduled time for the end.
Now, I don't know if any of you remember 2020, but one day we went to sleep and the next day we woke up and we had to wear masks. There was no two weeks' warning. There was no, uh, uh, uh, news broadcasting saying, "Oh, well, this may happen sooner or later." It was just from one day to the next day and everything had changed. And the Lord says, "This is how it's about to be in the world. In one day, everything is going to change. Nobody will be able to do the things freely that they used to do after this one day." And that one day is the rapture. But the Lord says it's going to change the whole world. And it's going to come without warning. There'll be no, "In two weeks, there's going to be a rapture." There will be none of that on the news. It will happen in one day. So since God wants you to be ready for that day, he wants you walking in Christ, walking in repentance, walking in relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ until the day He comes, and then He'll be able to reward you as He calls you up.
>> I don't want to apologize to people for the fact that this life is not eternal. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. And by all means, none of us should want it to.
>> 'Cause, uh, my friend just said, uh, his, uh, his buddy's at home sick. Drea was sick a couple weeks ago. Last week I was trying to fight a chest cold, you know, and then all the other things of life that are horrible. I, I was watching a thing. One of the, the little guys that was in the, uh, the, uh, street gang that we were in in Los Angeles at the, at the age of 12, got shot. And I'm like, he's 12 years old and he got, and he got shot in a, in a gang thing in, in South Central LA. And I'm like, "This God is trying to show me the world you're living in." Things are going on because you go to church and things have changed in your life. The whole world is still going on. There's still crime. There's still homosexuality. There's still violence. There's still. So He says, "You're saved now." And you don't, you don't recognize this, but LA didn't change 'cause you found Jesus and moved to Long Beach. So understand, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Everything has to change. So when God says that He is prophesying, that that, that the word of God is prophecy, the prophecy begins from day one.
Now, if you look at the board, I want to show you something because you guys are at the pinnacle of change. The world's about to change. Yeah. Well, I really, the world's about to change. And for this reason, God called me to ministry because the world is about to change. And when it changes, God wants you to be ready. Do you see the board here in front of you? You see this right here? Exodus 12:1 and 2. Could you go to that scripture for me? Exodus chapter 12, verse 1 and 2.
Now, I'm going to, I'm going to set the, I'm going to set the, the, uh, uh, the scene here because, uh, in chapter 12, they are about to come out of Egypt. The Hebrews are about to come out of Egypt. It is the middle, I say it's the seventh month of the year at this time, which was Nissan. It is the seventh month of the year. They're about to come out of Egypt and God is giving them instructions on how they're going to come out of Egypt. So He says this. He says, "Uh, the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, 'This month, the seventh month, is to be for you the first month, the first month of the year. Tell the whole community of Israel, on the 10th day of this month, each man is to take a lamb for himself.'"
So here we see God just changed the seventh month of the year to the first month. So every calendar that came about since this day began the year in the month of what the Hebrews call Nissan. Nissan 1st is going to be March 19th. Okay. So when March 19th comes, that will be for God the beginning of 2026. You can't change the calendar because God made the calendar because God is counting time. Okay? March 19th, it will be Nissan 1st. Nissan 1st will then begin 2026. Why am I telling you this? 'Cause there is a serious prophecy that's supposed to happen in 2025. And this complete change and this complete prophecy, as it happens in 2025 and the whole world changed, I want you to know Pastor Sandy warned you. So March 19th is 67 days from now and, and, uh, um, so 67 days from now, 2025 will be over. Okay. 2025 will be over.
But let's see if, since God prophesies from the beginning, let's see if His prophecy comes true. Because God is saying in the book of Isaiah 46, "I'm telling you the end from the beginning. From the very beginning of the reading of the Bible, I'm telling you what's going to happen at the end." Okay. And you have to know and understand this. Look. So, um, from the very beginning, here we go. So, the last day of 2025 AD, and I wrote AD for a reason, because someone else got married in 2025. And I want you to understand that, okay? In the beginning, God told us about Adam and the creation of Adam. Adam to the second power equals 2025. You want to do the math with me later, you can. Genesis has 1,533 verses. That times, uh, uh, uh, uh, multiplied twice is 2025. Daniel 12:12 is talking about the end of days and he says, "Wait till the 1,335th year." That multiplied twice is 2025. When God told Noah to build the ark, he said, "Building 30 cubits, 50, I mean, 300 cubits, 50 and 30." That multiplied twice is 2025 plus 8 zeros. Eight is very important because we're on the eighth day. Then, um, Isaac marries Rebecca in 2025 BC. So 2025 years before Jesus comes into the world, Isaac married Rebecca. There was a wedding. We're in 2025 AD. So if Isaac was representing Jesus Christ, are we about to see another wedding? There can be no wedding with the church in the earth. So this is why I'm saying you have 67 days left in 2025 and then you can say, "Well, all of this stuff that, that, that spoke about 2025 meant nothing and you could just forget about it." Okay.
Now, the year that we're living in is the eighth year after the days of Noah. Meaning, we came to the 6,000th year. And once we came to the 6,000th year, God started counting one year after the 6,000. So, the 6,000th year began when? 2017. One year after, two years after, then 2024 to 2025 was 7 years after. Now we're on the eighth year. We're on the eighth year after the sixth day. What happened on the sixth, on the seventh day after Noah turned 600? What happened on the seventh day after Noah turned 600? The flood began. You understand? So, because we came to the 6,000 years didn't mean that something was going to happen, but it meant that God is now going to count the time because now you're living in the days of Noah and the whole world is waiting for it to begin to rain. And when it begins to rain, it happens overnight. You understand? One day you wake up and it's raining and the whole world has changed. Noah is on the ark and Noah is on his way up. And people were crying out, "We now believe, throw us a rope and let us on the boat." Too late. This is why I'm saying what you're about to see is the very end of God's story. Okay.
Um, we're going to do a, a bit of a study here. Okay. Um, the first part of this study, I want us to first of all look in Genesis chapter 1. Okay. Genesis chapter 1. How many days did God take to create the world? Who says six? Thank you for being a good student. 'Cause what did God do on the seventh day?
>> He rested on the seventh day.
Okay. What did God do on the eighth day? Huh?
>> New? It was a new beginning, right? Seven days. The weekend was over, right? The week, the, the week ended. On the eighth day, what did he do? He created Adam.
You say, "No, he created Adam on the sixth day." No, he created Adam, meaning mankind, on the sixth day. On the, then He rested from all of His work. On the eighth day, He created Adam, a special one person, took him and placed him in the most precious part of the earth, the Garden of Eden, where everything was perfect, where God walked in the midst of them. Um, and as he's living in paradise on earth, then God says, "Name all the animals, Adam." And Adam names all the animals. Then He says, "Adam, you don't have anybody here that's like you. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to put you to sleep and, and, and, and I'm going to make for you a bride like yourself and bring you a bride." Okay.
The verse that we first were read was what? "The spirit of the, of the word of God is prophecy." Who is this Adam? How many Adams are there in the Bible? Two. There's the first Adam and there's the second Adam. The first Adam God created and put in the garden. The second Adam is a life-giving spirit. Who's the second Adam? Jesus. So the Bible says there's two Adams. So both Adams are, are really going to be a, a, a, a symbol of each other's life. So Adam is put to sleep. When Adam is put to sleep, he is pierced in his side. When Jesus comes, is He going to get pierced in His side? Yes. When Adam is put to sleep, what God took out of his side created his bride. When Jesus was put to sleep on the cross and they pierced Him in the side, what came out of His side? Water and blood. A blood covenant and a water baptism came out of Jesus, which if you believe in Jesus now makes you a part of the bride. So God's whole thing was, "I'm going to make a bride for Jesus the same way I made a bride for the first Adam. They'll both be put to sleep. They'll both be pierced in the side. And when I, when it's done, I will bring the bride to Adam. I will bring the bride to Jesus." Is Jesus coming back for His bride? He's coming down for His bride. Gotcha. He's coming down for His bride. He's not coming back. God made instructions to the Holy Spirit. "Do not take my son back there. You bring her here." You understand? So God, the Holy Spirit is here for one purpose. And what's the purpose? He's gathering a bride for the second Adam. He's gathering this bride for the second Adam. And anyone who believes in Him and walks in His doctrine will become a part of His bride. Now, if you believe in Him and you don't walk in His doctrine, but you walk in darkness, you fool yourself, and the Bible says you have believed in vain. But if you believe in Him and you walk in His do, in His doctrine, one day the trumpet will blow, and guess what will happen? You will be taken by who? Eleazar, the Holy Spirit, to go marry Jesus. Isaac's bride, Rebecca, was taken by Eleazar, and Eleazar took, uh, Rebecca back, and Rebecca married Isaac 2025 BC. 2025 before you understand Jesus was born. Guess what year it is? Thank You, Father. The Lord is making this plain and clear to people because you're going to wake up and you're going to have to wear a mask, and people are going to go, "What happened? Yesterday I could walk into the supermarket with no problem. Today I need a mask. Today, my favorite restaurant is closed today." And look, there was nothing crazy going on at that time, but when we leave, it'll be more than wearing a mask. I tell you that. And there'll be no exempt letters. Like, "I'm not taking the." No, there'll be no exempt letters. It's going to change in the moment. In the twinkling of an eye, it's going to change everything. And I'm trying to make this real to you so that you don't play church.
>> So that you don't play church. We're standing here. We're praying. And I remember myself as a kid. I'd be in the back going, "Oh God, how long are they going to pray?" And I'd be going, "Oh God, how long are they going to sing?" Because I didn't realize what they were preaching about was the reality of life. Oh God, do I have to go to your church to you again, Mom? Yes. My mom was introducing me to Jesus Christ 'cause she had discovered only one person could change her life. He delivers a pack a day. Terin, long, mental. I, I went to the store every day to buy him a pack a day. The next day she had one left. Just got one left. She's doing a pack a day. She goes and accepts Jesus and gets delivered. She doesn't want a cigarette anymore. And I don't have to go to the store and get them anymore, which is a blessing for both of us. So I'm saying that that God that delivers, the God that keeps you out of sin, the God that forgives, the God that can bring you from a fleshly life that's going to die, is going to bring you into a heavenly life.
>> Okay? You're close. This is what I'm trying to tell you. I'm not talking, I'm not talking 100 years from now. I'm saying you're close. We're about to find out 'cause we got 67 to, if, if we go 67 days and this Adam thing, 2025 is nothing. This number of verses in, in Genesis is nothing. And this Daniel 12:12, 2025 is nothing. And this ark is nothing. And Isaac buried Rebecca, 2025. If all this is nothing, okay, I'm being quiet. Just wait. I need to be quiet. Okay. But I, I'm saying we got 67 days to find out. So if you, if you wanna, if you want to, uh, stay awake and, and stay in prayer and live for the Lord and find out, let's find out together. Okay? But if it happens and I didn't say anything, guess who's in trouble? Me and Pastor Ben. [clears throat] [laughter] That's what the Lord said. He is with you. Everything you do, you're both responsible. [laughter]
So, I want you guys to go to Leviticus chapter 12. I'm going to bring your name up, though. I'm telling you right now, Pastor B. When I go on judgment day, I'm, Is Pastor B in here? We was in this together. [laughter] [clears throat] Watch this. Who, who is the spirit of prophecy? The word of God. Watch this prophecy. The Lord said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites, a woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son..." [snorts] "...can't be a daughter. A woman who, who, who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be ceremonially unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during the monthly cycle. It says, and on the eighth day, the boy is to be what? Circumcised." I just prophesied to you. But if you understand the, see, God told me, "If you learn Hebrew, I'll teach you the Bible." And then God says, "Look, if you don't understand the prophecy and the typologies of the Bible, you're not going to understand what I'm talking about." 'Cause as soon as I open my mouth, I'm talking about something else.
>> Yeah.
>> God says, "In the beginning." You know what word that is? Bereshit. You know what Bereshit is? A son is going to be born. He's going to have thorns on his head, um, uh, uh, and he's going to suffer and he's going to be the, a gift for man, crying on the cross. That's one word in Hebrew. You understand? So as soon as God speaks, He's talking to you about another subject. So God just spoke here and what did He say? "When a woman gives birth to a son, uh, he will be ceremonially unclean for seven days, as she, uh, is unclean during her monthly." And it says, "But on the eighth day, the boy is to be circumcised." Wow. We're on the eighth day after the flood, you guys. Just want to let you know that.
Now, watch this. Let's, um, let's go to Isaiah 66. Did you guys know that Israel is pregnant? Who is, who, who is Israel? The nation of Israel.
>> Do you guys, do you guys know that Israel's birth is the reason for the birthing of the church?
You understand? Through the nation of Israel, God brought Jesus Christ. Because of Jesus Christ, people accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. And since we accept Him as Lord and Savior, the scripture says we're like a child in the world that's waiting to be birthed out.
>> Yeah.
>> We're wait, we're waiting to be birthed out of the world. Even Jesus on the cross calls himself a worm, right?
>> We all know that prophecy. He calls himself a worm, saying, "I'm like a, this certain type of worm. I'm on the cross, but I'm pregnant 'cause I'm about to give birth to my children and I'm going to cover them in my blood." That's the prophecy of the worm.
So, Israel is pregnant right now. Let's, are you in Isaiah 66? Elohim to all the time. Here it goes. Verse seven. "Before she goes into labor, she gives birth. Before the pains come upon her, she delivers what? A son." It doesn't say a Yadim. It doesn't say Y. It says she, she gives birth to Ben. A Ben, a son. So if she gives birth to a son, for the next seven days, what happens? She's unclean. How long is the tribulation?
>> Seven years.
And I'm not saying the tribulation, remember when I say the tribulation, I'm talking about the 70th week of Daniel. The 70th week of Daniel lasts for seven years. Okay? When God comes back and rescues is something else, but the, the, the 70th week of Daniel is seven years. So after Israel gives, gives birth, she is going to be unclean for the next seven years. Okay?
Now watch this. Before she gives birth, okay, watch this. Before she gives birth, uh, uh, uh, uh, she goes into labor, she gives birth, okay? You know what the tribulation is called? And that's in Jeremiah chapter 30. When God is talking to, to, to Jeremiah, He says, He says, He says, um, "Why do I see every, He says, 'Can a man be pregnant?'" And, and, and Jeremiah says, "He says, 'How is it that every man is walking around holding his stomach?'" This is the time of Jacob's trouble, when, when Israel is going to go through birth pains. Okay? But here in this scripture, it says, "The woman gives birth before labor came upon her." The next word says, "Who has ever heard of such a thing?" Who has ever heard of such a thing is the same numerical value is 888. Jesus. So a woman gives birth to a child before she goes into labor. Who has ever heard of that? God says, "There is a woman who is going to give birth to her own children, but after she goes through labor. But there is going to be a miraculous time that a woman is going to give birth without tribulation time." That means the church doesn't see any tribulation time.
>> You understand?
Your mother just gave birth to you without any pain. This is your dream to be raptured. I don't want to be here when the labor pains come. I want to be gone. He says this miracle is going to happen. Now watch this. "Who has ever heard of such a thing?" 888. "Who has ever seen such a thing? Can a country be born in one day? A nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children." It says, "After she goes into labor, she's going to give birth to her children." Well, who would she give birth to before she went into labor? The church. So, I'm trying to let you know. Now, she is unclean for seven days. And on the eighth day, she is to be, the child is to be circumcised. Okay.
Let's go to Revelation chapter 12. You know where I'm going. Uh, Emerson, Emerson, like I'm like way ahead of you, Pastor. I know what you're doing. Let's see. Chapter 12. Let's read verse five. Verse five. Okay, I might have to read all of this to you guys. Okay, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to. Okay, let's start at verse one in, uh, chapter 12 of Revelation. It says, "A great wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of 12 stars on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth." Wait a minute. Okay, there's a woman. She has 12 stars above her head and she's about to give birth. You know what that is? That's the constellation of what we call Virgo, which the Bible calls the virgin. Okay? Every year she has nine stars above her head. There's only been one year that that constellation had 12 stars above its head. And what year was it? The same year Jesus was born. That doesn't, that event doesn't happen again until 2017, which was the 6,000th year of man, when you entered into the days of Noah. So, it's only happened twice in history.
So, now watch this. She, she was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads, 10 horns, and, uh, crowns on his head. His tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth so that he might devour her child the moment he was born. That's Satan trying to destroy Jesus as soon as He's born. Now watch what God does here. "She gave birth to a male child who will rule over the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was snatched up to God." Wait a minute. She gave birth to a male child, which was Jesus. Wait a minute. You only had 12 stars twice, at the time of Jesus and the time of the beginning of the days of Noah. So we got two people. We got, we, we got two births are being talked about: Jesus being born and the church being birthed out of the world. But she gives birth to what? A male child. So what has to happen then? For seven days she's unclean. And on the eighth day, what's going to happen to the child? He's got, they're going to circumcise him. They're going to cut off his dead flesh. Guess what you're walking around with, you guys? Dead flesh. You thought, "I'm not dead." Your spirit and your soul, the breath of God, is keeping your flesh alive. If I take it out, you're in nothing. You got dead flesh. You understand? God says that flesh cannot inherit the kingdom of God. So therefore, when you're birthed, and if it's on the eighth day, we've got to cut that flesh off. So what happens? Even Lazarus, when he comes out of the tomb, they said, "Take off his, his grave clothes."
>> Take off the grave clothes.
Why? Because now he's come back to life. He's entering into life. Okay? When you're taken up, guess what? Can't go. I don't care how much money you spent on your hair. It can't go. Okay? I don't care. I don't care how much you worked out and it's in me. It ain't going. You understand? Because your flesh and your blood, all this, this cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Okay? So the days of Noah came and God said, "Go and wait." And then the seventh day, the rain came and the rescue began. Now I'm thinking it's going to be the same way with us 'cause as it was in the days of Noah. But God says, "There, but at that time, there was not a male child being born. But at the second Noah, a male child is being born out of the world. So therefore, I have to fulfill the prophecy of what? Of circumcision."
>> Yeah.
>> On the same day as the rapture. It's the eighth day. It's the eighth day after the 6,000th year. It's the eighth day we're looking to be circumcised. Dead flesh comes off. Eternal life begins. You understand? God is serious when it comes to, um, prophecy. I'm going, I'm going to, I'm going to talk to you guys about a prophecy. Okay. God told, uh, Moses, He says, [clears throat] um, "When your child is born, make sure that you circumcise him on the eighth day." Okay. Moses was about to not circumcise his child. He didn't want to circumcise. You understand? He didn't want to circumcise his son. And then his wife, who, who, no, no. Moses' wife. Moses' wife, her name is Zipporah in Hebrew. Why is her name Zipporah? 'Cause one day his wife is going to fly away. He's representing Jesus Christ. Okay. So she circumcised the child to make sure that God, 'cause God says, "I'm about to kill him." Why? 'Cause he didn't keep my commandment. On the eighth day, there, he's supposed to circumcise his child. So, is the eighth day circumcision important to God? Yes. Why? 'Cause it's prophesying of a future day.
Now, Moses also, God says, "When, uh, when, uh, uh, go to the rock." And when you, because the people were crying out for water, right? He says, "Go to the rock." Now, I know the first time I told you to go to the rock, Moses, I told you to strike the rock and water would come out of the rock and then the people will be satisfied. He says, "Yes." So He says, "This time, Moses, don't hit the rock. Speak to it." Why is He saying that? Because Jesus said to the Jewish people, "You will not see me again until you say, 'Until you say, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.' Till you repent and bless my name and welcome me back with your lips, then, then the fresh water, the living water will not come. But soon as you speak it, the living water is going to come and rescue you." So He says, He says, "Until you say, you will not be rescued." Moses is supposed to keep this typology and this prophecy because God spoke it for a reason. So Moses says, he gets mad at the people and he strikes the rock. Does Jesus get struck twice? He already came and got struck and He delivered us living water to give life to us. But the water is coming the second time by what? By invitation of mouth. So God said, "Moses, you keep messing up. This time you don't get to go into the Promised Land." So now, now they go into the Promised Land, but Moses does not get to go into the Promised Land. He dies at the age of 120. The 6,000th year of mankind is the 120th Jubilee. Moses doesn't get to go in the Promised Land. Who has to take the people into the Promised Land? Joshua. What is Joshua? Joshua is Yeshua, Jesus. Salvation. God's salvation. So, the person that brings us across is Yeshua. God is always prophesying to us.
So now I'm trying to tell you about the eighth day. Do I have one more minute or so? Do I? Okay. I want you guys to look at the board. See this up here? Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. I was going to play you the Hebrew word. The word is Et. It means time. There's a time for this and a time for that. Let's go to Ecclesiastes chapter 3. And who helped me with Ecclesiastes the other day? That was, oh, it's Proverbs. That's right. Thank you. I was about to call her Rose. Okay. [clears throat] Ecclesiastes, right after Proverbs. I know that because I'm so well-studied, which Beth is going, "Uh-uh." He didn't know where it was on Wednesday night. Okay. Proverbs. Okay. Then Ecclesiastes chapter 3. Let's listen to it. First of all, it's verse 1-8. Why eight verses? New beginning. Okay, now watch this. It says, "There is a time for every season, for every season and for every activity under heaven." Okay, that's the first time the word is used. Now, it's going to be used 27 more times. Okay. "A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to uproot. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to, to, um, to tear down and a time to build. A time to weep and a time to laugh. A time to mourn and a time to, to dance. It says, a time to scatter, um, stones and a time to gather them. A time to embrace and a time to refrain. A time to search and a time to give up. A time to keep and a time to throw away. A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to, to be silent and a time to speak. A time to love and a time to hate. A, uh, uh, uh, a time for war. And then when Jesus returns, and a time for peace." 28 times, but only 27 of them give you the reason why.
Now, if I divide this into 6,000, you know what? Here it gives me 57.86. If I divide 27 times into 6,000, you know what year it gives me? 5778. That's 2017 and 2025. So God is saying, "Look." Now, a Hebrew guy did this study and I'll show you how to do it. But the Hebrew guy did this study. It gives us this is 2017. This is the year that there were 12 stars above the overhead. And this is the year that we are currently in right now, 5786. And Ecclesiastes says it's eight verses because this is the end of time. What is the end of time? The end of time is going to be a time of peace. So listen, the eighth day is very important. Ecclesiastes 1-8. Okay. Since 2017, we are now on the eighth day after the days of Noah. Everything happens in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. And I'm very sorry I have to read one last verse. And, um, that is Isaiah 52:7. Wow. Okay. It says, "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, 'Your God reigns.' Listen, your watchmen lift up their voice. Together they shout for joy. When the Lord returns to Zion, they will see it with their own eyes. Burst into song of joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem. For the Lord has comforted His people and has redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord will lay bare His holy arm in the sight of all nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of God." Jesus is coming back the second time for war to settle everything and to bring peace. We're all going to live on this earth, if you're my brother and sister in Christ, we're going to live on this earth for a thousand years in full peace with Jesus Christ reigning and ruling. But before that comes a miraculous day where it changes in one moment, in the twinkling of an eye. Are you with Jesus or not? Because if you're not, listen, you can play games with it, but you either have to be in or you have to be out. You can't be kind of married to me. I don't like that. "I'm kind of married to you." What do you mean? "I do some stuff, but you don't need to know about it. I don't kind of like being married." Sorry. And God does not kind of like being married. So, either you're in or you're out. You understand? But if you're in, be ready because the whole world is created for the glory of God because He wants a new city with new, with new, uh, citizens, and He wants to rebuild what was once before Satan tried to destroy it, and He wants you to be a part of it. But you have to go through this thing called life, which consists of the flesh. So now you're being tested 40 days. Why did they, why did they go through the, the, the, the wilderness for 40 days? Why couldn't God just lift them up and just bring them into the land? God says, "I brought you through the wilderness to see whether you love me or hate me, 'cause I'm going to find out in the wilderness. I'm going to find out."
Guy got very successful. He was a rapper. He got very successful. He was rapping for Jesus. Oh man. Selling all kind of albums. Then he said, "I think I'll try meds." And then he got hooked on meth. Then while he's on meds, he, he was introduced to homosexuality. Then he got hooked on that. And then now, now I, I hear him in an interview. I'm trying to see whatever happened to him. Is he better? And he's dropping F-bombs. I'm like, "That is not the person that came to, that was doing the music before." I can't even listen to his music now. I'm like, "I can't even listen to it because the person that came in completely let Satan rob him of everything that he could have had."
>> You got to fight for this.
You're in life. You're on war ground. You got to fight for this. Okay? Temptation is here. Sorry. It's here and you've got to fight. And if you don't fight, Satan will sweep you away with no problem, and he won't care. Chip, the guy, the little Hoover in, in, in LA, was 12 years old and his sister got shot and killed, too. And I think she was 15. And the mother and father lived in that neighborhood. Satan kills, steals, and destroys. You understand? He doesn't love human beings. So if you could get your car. Now, the little guy was robbing people, and the little guy was toting guns, and the little guy was throwing up the signs at 12 years. I, I joined when I was 12. Everybody joins about a grade six. Okay. So I'm saying Satan is after you from day one. Though I got offered to join when I was in the fourth grade 'cause I was tall. No, I ain't want to join no gang. I want to play football. But 12, everybody started joining different gangs. You understand? Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy, whether through drugs, gang violence, sexuality, whatever. He comes to steal, kill, and destroy.
Thank you. I don't even need 10 minutes. I just need to be able to talk to you for one second. We've got to look out for each other, you guys. You know, um, I haven't seen Ashley here in a while, and I got to call Ashley and see how she's doing, how's her husband, how's her kids? We got to look out for each other. If there's one thing that I don't like about myself as a pastor, I don't call people enough. I don't call to see how you're doing, how things are going with you, are you still walking in Christ? You know, I can't get so busy where I'm not looking out for God's people. And so from now on, [clears throat] for the next 67 days, I'm going to be calling people. Everybody who has ever been a part of S4C, if I got your number, I'm calling you 'cause I want to know how you're doing. Are you in Christ? Are you ready for what's about to happen? Are you preparing to wear a mask for the next seven years? But one way I've got to be more diligent about looking out for God's people because we get discouraged. Some days we wake up and they're not as good as we thought, and we, we forget to lean on the, to lean on God's hand. We forget that God told us to not worry about anything but in everything, uh, uh, uh, pray about it. We forget. And so we've got to be more diligent about encouraging one another to win in this game. Okay? So that's what I'm going to do. I hope you encourage a family member or somebody. Just call them and say, "How are you doing in Christ?" We're in a pivotal time in history and, and, and the big change is about to happen. [cough] That's it.
Oh, I forgot to say, um, this thing, Wormwood, is a prophecy about a meteor hitting in 2029. Last week I said 2025, but the book is about 2029. Someone told me it was 2025. So they sent me the book. I put it at the bottom of the shelf 'cause I said that's not going to happen in 2025. But the guy who prophesied it, Horn, said in 2029. Incredible. Because 2029, I could do some math up there for you, and it will tell you it's the end of the tribulation. Okay? [clears throat] So, praise the Lord.
>> Hallelujah.
>> Praise the Lord, everybody.
>> Today is January 11th, 1/11, which also means divine wisdom. It means good. It means convergence of timelines. So the Lord wanted me to just throw that out there as a reminder. Today's Pastor Nicole's birthday, God's stamp of approval. Good. So if you want to wish Pastor Nicole a happy birthday, email us and we'll send it to her. Uh, the email is contact us at sorc.com. Our website is www.s4croops.com. Last year we had two new ministries start here at Soldiers for Christ. It was the Cloud Party and Saturday Night Worship. If you have not joined either one of those, you're missing out. So please contact us to get the information to join. In fact, last night's Saturday Night Worship ended at 11:11. So, stamp of approval all around.
Uh, the Lord wanted me to share one little scripture and then I'll turn it over to Minister Greg to pray. Ephesians 6:10-13. "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." Amen.
Father God, thank You for the opportunity to just stand in You. Thank You for being our foundation. Thank You for building a place, Lord Jesus, that we can be able to be with You. Thank You for dying on the cross for our sins. Thank You for raising from the grave, Lord. Thank You for saying all life has been given to You, Lord. We pray and ask that the word that has been went forth, Lord Jesus, that it grabs a hold of the soul, Lord Jesus, and be able to produce fruits, Lord.
>> Yes.
>> Lord, we pray and ask that we be a beacon for others to see Christ, Lord. Lord, as You spoke to the, um, as, as You spoke to the Son and said, "Glorify the Son so the Son can glorify the Father." Lord Jesus, it was so that the Son can lead them back to the Father, Lord. And I pray and ask that You lead us back to You as we're being not just an example, but obedient unto the steps that You followed out while we were here on earth. And these things that we ask of You in Jesus' name, we pray. Thank God. Amen.
>> Hallelujah.
>> May the Lord watch
>> between me and thee
>> while we are absent
>> one from another.
>> Amen.
>> Amen. May not be.
>> Hallelujah. That crane. Good day. Drinking.
