So, our phase Jerusalem, men of Israel, low trumpets, trumpets down. [Music] Have mercy upon us, O Lord God of all, and behold us. And send I fear upon all the nations that seek not after thee. Lift up thy hand against the strange nations, and let them see thy power. As that was sanctified in us before them, so be thou magnified among them before us. And let them know thee as we have known thee, that there is no god but only thee. Oh God, show new signs and make other strange wonders. Glorify thy hand and thy right arm, that they may set forth thy wondrous works. Raise up indignation and pour out wrath. Take away the adversary and destroy the enemy. Make the time short. Remember the Covenant and let them declare thy wonderful works. Let him that escaped be consumed by the rage of fire, and let them perish that oppress the people. Smite and sunder their hands, the heads of the rulers of the heathen that say there is none other but we. Gather all the tribes of Jacob together and inherit thou them as from the beginning. Oh Lord, have mercy upon the people that is called by thy name, and upon Israel, whom thou hast named thy firstborn. Be merciful unto Jerusalem, thy holy city, the place of thy rest. Fill Zion with thy unspeakable oracles and thy people with thy glory. Give testimony unto those that have possessed that thou hast possessed from the beginning. Raise up prophets that have been in thy name. Reward them that wait for thee, and let the prophets be found faithful. Oh Lord, hear the prayer of thy servants according to the blessings of Aaron over thy people, that all they which dwell upon the earth may know that thou art the Lord, the eternal God, their heavenly Father.

Come on, men of Israel, sons of God, Haitian saints. Tongues I've done, hey silly, salute down. Face justice, did honorable daughters of Sarah. We say Shalom. All praise to the Messiah. Sisters, how are you doing this Sabbath day? I know y'all didn't get a break. Amazon was supposed to end 30 minutes before I got here, so y'all hadn't get a break due to his negligence. Brothers, how y'all doing this Sabbath day? I know y'all was supposed to get a break, but once again, due to captain and Messiah's negligence, not ending 30 minutes before class starts, y'all you don't get a break. So we're gonna open up with our topic. Let's go, and we're gonna start it today. We're gonna start Revelation chapter 1. I know I didn't two and three yet. We're starting chapter 1, and the reason I'm starting with chapter 1 is because 2 and 3 goes into the messages to the churches, so I need to preface it with chapter 1. I always tell you, I like to, I read after I read four words, I read backwards, that way I could get my mind situated and settled. Ah, ape of Cilicia, put the map up of Rome, please. I want to see the map of Rome. Put that up on a screen. Yes, this is the Roman Empire. Can you all see that map? Alright, okay, y'all see the big patch of blue right there? That is the Mediterranean Sea. In the scriptures, there you'll read about it called the Great Sea. Alright, the Great Sea. You can see at the bottom right, you see the Red Sea. Okay, now y'all see what it says Jerusalem, Ailicia? Can you uh, use your little uh, I don't know what that thing is called, pointer, the cursor? See what says Jerusalem? Yeah, okay. You see Jerusalem, right? You see the little cursor? Now show me where it says with this Red Sea is. Red Sea, right below it, Lycia, right below it. Yeah, very good, very good. Now you see, now I want you see where it says in Nabetia, I can't see that far. Nabetia. Alright, you see the area right there? Alicia, Alicia, Alicia, you see us as a neighbor to you right there? That's the Arabs took that over. This was centuries later, centuries later. So what I want you to see is that from the Great Sea to the Red Sea is where Esau, we're right where it says number two, you, that's where Esau built the Suez Canal. It connects the Great Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, to the Red Sea. There's a line that goes from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, it connects this. So that's the Suez Canal, in the late 1800s. Now, so what we're going to talk about today, this part of the Roman Empire. Yeah, I could see where Italy is. He, Rome, the capital, right there. Alicia, Dumas, yeah, right there. See Rome? Yeah, you can always, you learn in school, you know, Rome, Italy, by the boot symbol. Yeah, I see that. It looks like a boot with a high heel. You'll see that. That's how you always know Rome, Italy, right there. Now, right across that part of the Great Sea, where it says Macedonia, are you see Thrace? What else do you see? Can't read that word. Act um, this is the area we're gonna discuss today. Put right there in the green, right where Alicia's circling, right there. We're gonna discuss that from today in the next two chapters of Revelation deals with this whole area, right? That that green section. Alright, give me Revelation chapter 1 and verse 1. Who's reading? I'm Solomon. Revelation chapter 1 and verse 1. The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass. And he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John. Now y'all see this part says, which must to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass. Now we look at that term, shortly come to pass, and the way we're reading it is not in the same context as God sees things. I'm gonna show it. I give me the book of Hosea. Believe it is just popped in my mind first. Before you go there, give me Second Peter 3 and 10. Let me show you. I'm what I'm showing you right now with things that must shortly come to pass, that's the part I want you to look at. So go to Second Peter's, Second Peter chapter 3 and verse 10. Is 10? I want where says, we I don't brethren, we should not be ignorant concerning this one thing. It might be chopped verse eight. It might be verse verse eight. Me that verse eight. But beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. So that verse right there is very paramount to what we just read in Revelation. Christ says, things which must shortly come to pass. That's in God's time. That is not in our time. Okay, so Peter reveals a mystery here. He says, one day with the Lord is there as a thousand years. Okay, so watch this. Go to Hosea chapter 6. I'ma show you something about the thousand-year period. Where she want vision 1. Hosea chapter 6 and verse 1. Come and let us return unto the Lord. So the prophet Isaiah says, come, let us return unto the Lord. Go ahead. Well, he hath time, you have torn, and he will heal. And he will heal us. Meaning he put us in slavery and he's gonna bring us out. Go ahead. He hath smitten, and he will bind us up. Same thing. Go ahead. After two days will he revive us. Now you see that right there? It says, after two days will he revive us. We'll look at that and go, two days. That two days is 2,000 years. That's what it's talking about. It's literally saying, after 2,000 years will he revive us. What we see here right now, that's on line right before us, this is us being revived. It says, and it's notices the word after. After two days will he revive us. Go ahead. If two days has passed, what is it? The third day. Two days have passed when the third day. Read it again. After two days will he revive us. In the third day he will raise us up. We're in that third day. We haven't been raised up yet, but we're being revived. So the reviving is us waking up to the truth. To raising us up is it a statue we are meant to be when we rule this world. That's what he's saying. That's what the Prophet Hosea is saying. That and we shall live in his sight. And we shall live in his sight. So he didn't tell us what part of the third day though. We know we in it cuz we're being revived, but he didn't say what part of this third day he's gonna raise us. So we're just waiting. We're just waiting. Now, that's all. Have you missed me right there? The average to a reading. Go to Days commemorat 2,000 years ago, what happened? Christ died on a cross. He died and was resurrected and ascended up on high. So watch. Let's go back to Revelation chapter 1. Now read. I read that. I prefaced it because of what we read in Revelation 1, verse 1. Read it again. Revelation chapter 1 and verse 1. The revelation of Jesus Christ's up, meaning the revealing of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass. So things which must shortly come to pass. Now you see it says, to show unto his servants, with an S. Given at Leviticus 25:55, please. Because Christians all around the world think that they are the servants of God. [ __ ] Moabites, Philistines, and Jebusites, and Ishmaelites, they all think they are servants of God. But watch what Moses reveals here. Leviticus chapter 25 and verse 55. For unto me the children of Israel are servants. The only servants of God are the children of Israel. There is no Arab servants. There is no Hamitic servants. There is no Edomite Caucasian servants. It don't exist. There is no Chinese servants, no Japanese servants of the Lord. They are not the servants of the one true God. Let's go back to Revelation 1:1. Revelation chapter 1 and verse 1. The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass. And he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John. Aha, who bare record of the word of God, and know the testimony of Jesus Christ. Not a word of God is still talking about Jesus Christ. Who bare record of the word of God? That's Christ in fulfillment, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ. Go ahead. And of all the things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth. The Bible says, blessed is he that readeth. Blessed is he. Let me tell you real quick something about John. Let me took before I get there. I want to talk about the Apostle John, often called John the Revelator or John the Divine. Give me, watch this. Give me Matthew chapter 4. Matthew chapter 4, and we're gonna start at verse 20. Matthew chapter 4 and verse 20. And they straightway left their nets and followed him. And going on from thence, he saw, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. And he called them. And they immediately left the ship and their father, the ship and their father. Go ahead. And followed him. And fussy, once you're called, you are called. Once Christ said, hey, follow me, they up and dropped everything. The spirit said, this is him. The spirit checked in them that this is him. Just like John the Baptist said, many said, the holy Lamb of God, which take away the sins of the world. So a lot of people knew that. So when they got the call, they didn't if an or but they didn't give no kind of excuses. John dropped everything and came and followed Christ from it. Give me John 20. John chapter 20, verse 1. John chapter 20 and verse 1. Bear with me, hold on. John chapter 20 and verse. Good. The first day of the week come Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and see if the stone taken away from the sepulchre. Then she runneth and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved. Stop right there. What you're gonna notice in a book of John, John doesn't often refer to himself as John. He refers to himself as the disciple whom Jesus loved. The other apostles referred to him when they spoke about John, it would always reference him by saying, he that lieth on Christ's bosom, meaning he owns it back like this. If suppose he's Christ, and I'm John, he was always like this. Wherever Christ was, John had its head right there, trying to listen and learn. That's what he was doing. Read that again. John chapter 20 and verse 1. The first day of the week come Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and see if the stone taken away from the sepulchre. Then she runneth and cometh to Simon Peter, Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved. And save unto them, they have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. So they ran both together, and the other disciple did outrun Peter and came first to the sepulchre. Peter, how probably a little belly on him, so John ran quicker than hell. Great. And he's stooping down and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying, yet went Heat not in. Now watch this. Look at John chapter 21, 21 and 20. John chapter 21 and verse 20. Then Peter turning about, see if the disciple whom Jesus loved following, which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee? Peter seeing him, say, show us something real quick. It just popped in my mind before you read that. I want you to show. I want to show you why he always said that. John loved that. John was the one Christ loved. Look at John 19. I just might just glance over it. I want us to read it. John chapter 19, and remember Peter denied Christ when he was on a cross. Everybody deserted Christ, but watch this. John 19:25. John chapter 19 and verse 25. Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, this is John, that he said unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son. So Christ said to his mother, to look at John, behold your son. He's going to take care of you. Now you gonna look after him. Go ahead. Then say if he to the disciple, behold thy mother. So he says that John was the only one there. Everybody else took off running. John stuck, stuck by Christ. So now he says that John, behold your mother, meaning my mother's now your mother. Go ahead. And from that hour, that disciple took her unto his own home. That's why the scriptures always made reference to John, who Christ loved. John was unselfish. He'd jeopardy. I mean, they all loved Christ, don't get me wrong, but John was on another level of love and admiration and dedication and loyalty. John was on another level. Let's go back to John 20:21. On me. John 21 and 20. John chapter 21 and verse 20. Then Peter turning about, see if the disciple whom Jesus loved following. So Peter's walking with Christ, they having a personal conversation. Peter looks back, he see John following. John is following them. Go ahead. Which also leaned on his breast at supper. Uh-huh. And said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee? So now Peter asks Christ, who's gonna betray you, thinking looking at John back there, this guy always following Christ everywhere. Good. Peter seeing him saved to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? And what shall this man mean? And this guy does follow us, what shall he do? Meaning he just asked a question about betrayal, then he gonna ask specifically about John. What about this guy? Go ahead. Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me. He said, if Christ was sponsor of Peter was, if I will that he tarry, to tarry, mister, wait till I come, meaning till I return, what is that to thee? Follow thou me. Meaning you follow me, Peter, don't worry about John. Go ahead. Watch this. Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that that disciple should not die. Yea, Jesus said not unto him, he shall not die, but if I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? So Peter had interpreted that as John is never going to die. John, please, daughter says, no, that's not what Christ said. Christ simply said, if I tarry, if I will him to tarry till I come, what is that to thee? He didn't say I'm never going to die. That this is the disciple which testifies of these things and wrote these things. So John is explaining now. He's because many times you worry and ask, who's the disciple that Christ loved? It's telling you right here in verse 24. This is the disciple which testifies of these things. Go ahead. And we know that his testimony is true. Mhm. And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the witch and they should be written every one. I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. I'm in. Yeah. So John said, there's so many things Christ did that's always cited up. The New Testament is simply an abbreviation, an abbreviation. The four Gospels is an abbreviated chronicle of the life of Christ. It's John said the world could not contain what Christ did. So now back to what he said in verse 22. Are you 22 again? Verse 22. Jesus saith unto Him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me. Now Peter again interpreted that that John would never die. John said, that's not what Christ said. Now let's see what it really meant. Get Revelation 10 verse 11 concerning John. We read this before. Revelation 10 verse 11. He is the precept that understandest and what he meant. Revelation chapter 10 and verse 11. And he said unto me, the me is John, thou must prophesy again. Thou must prophesy again. The head before many people, before many peoples and nation and nation and tongue and tongues and King and kings. Meaning John would be rejuvenated, regenerated, and come back in the last days. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. People think of, oh no, there's no such thing as regeneration. Yes, it is. You're insane because John, when you read about his life, he died on the island of Patmos. He didn't come again to do all of this back then. He will come again in the last days, in these last days. Now let's go back to Revelation 1, you want verse three. To again. Revelation chapter 1 and verse 2. Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth. Blessed is he that readeth. I, I wanted to get to that right there. Blessed is he that readeth. Come on. And they that hear the words of this prophecy and keep those things which are written therein. For the time is that hanging. All the time as a Hannah. Verse 3. Verse 3. Verse 3. Blessed is he that readeth. Now, we, we are blessed and we read the book of Revelation. But watch this. Isaiah 34:16. This is one we often read. Blessed is he that readeth. Isaiah chapter 34 and verse 16. Seek ye out of the book of the Lord and reasoner. Seek you out of the book of the Lord, which is the Bible, as we call it today, and read. Go ahead. No one of these shall fear. No one of these shall fail. Hold that right there. Get the priests up in First Kings 8:56. No one of these shall fail. What is he talking about? He's going to explain right here. Solomon explains in First Kings. First Kings chapter 8 and verse 56. Uh-huh. Blessed be the Lord that have given rest unto his people Israel. Blessed be the Lord that have given a rest unto his people Israel. Read. According to all that he promised. Here comes. There have not felt one word of all his good promise. They have not failed one word of all his good promises. Good. Which he promised by the hand of Moses, his servant. The good word of God that has not failed. Many times people often ask the question, how do you know the Bible is a true book? It's been published and republished and translated and retranslated over and over again. Simple. The way you know the Bible is true is Deuteronomy, the 28th chapter. Did we go into slavery on ships? You better believe that. Dirt, that thing did not fail. Did we have yolks of iron on our necks? That thing, now one word of that thing failed. While sons and daughters taken from us and given to another people. Yeah, word did not fail. Did we become proverbs and bywords wherever we were scattered? That word didn't fail. Where we were moved into all kingdoms and nations on earth, that word surely did not fail. So we know the Bible is true based on that alone. Because we might, we might forget the promises because we in the curses right now. So we're gonna use them curses to our advantage and reveal that them curses only fit our people and not one word that God said through Moses has failed. Let's go back to Isaiah 34:16. Isaiah chana. Somebody can't see Deuteronomy 20. Listen, leave them alone. Leave them alone. They gotta be dumb as a rock if you can't see that we went into slavery on ships historically. Yeah, you're you're an idiot. I like it said, we're an idiot if you can't see them curses came on us. You're a walking talking idiot, and I'm wasting my time talking to you. The only way you can disprove the Bible is proof that slavery never happened to our people. That's the only way you can disprove the Bible. Give me that guidette again. Isaiah 34:16. Isaiah chapter 34 and verse 16. Seek ye out of the book of the Lord and read. Let me show you another one. Let me show you another one. Give me, I think it's Daniel chapter 9. I think I'm guessing. I'm shooting from the hip. We said I Daniel understood by books. I forgot where did I know? Isn't Daniel? Let me see. Mmm, no, it's not that. Yes, verse 2. Yes, Daniel niver is 1 and 2. Daniel chapter verse 2. In the first year of his reign, I Daniel understood by books the number of the years where of the look, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the Prophet, that he would accomplish 70 years in the desolations of Jerusalem. See what Daniel said? He said, in the first year of his reign, I Daniel understood by books. What would, what books was he reading? The previous books of the previous prophets. Daniel occupied himself studying. So he said, based upon the writings of Jeremiah, we're gonna be in Babylon seventy years, and it was so, and it was true, and that one word failed. It was 70 years to the day that that captivity was then Persia took over. So when you got the book in your hand or in your house, and you don't occupy yourself with reading, you're a fool. This is what to read. At least four chapters a day. At least, minimum, and that's a minimum, four chapters a day. Okay, let's go back to Isaiah 34:16. Once again. Isaiah chapter 34 and verse 16. Seek ye out of the book of the Lord and read. Remember the angel said to John, Christ said to John, blessed is he that readeth. We know one of these shall fail. No one of these prophecies shall fail. None shall want her mate. And you cannot mate the Bible with any book. I warn you, brothers, about the Quran. I'm gonna tell you what hat, what you with us. You know, oh yeah, you was with us when that foolishness was that you that started that foolishness then when I forgot who I was. I don't want to say it's you, and it wasn't you. Where's your mic at? Who did your mic right there? You didn't mic. He's mumbling. What? Yeah, we was in Sierra Leone, you know, it's a Muslim country. Right? We got a coat, got corner now. Yeah. Um, we was going over Islam, you know, and brother brought out, oh no, but I believe in Islam, you know, yada yada. And I like, I've done for many a year. Oh, oh, was you? You know, we bringin' out, you know, it's chronic trash, you know. And we actually had a Quran with us and showed them, you know, one of the surahs, it's about the children in Israel. We to bless people, adenosine to Quran, that's what happened. So after he got finished trashing the Quran, he reads out of the Quran that the children of Israel, right? Somebody we've God's people. So then one of the Muslims was, wait, you just said the Quran is garbage, yet you read something true that you say it's true from the Quran. So which is it? It's a crowd or is it true? So that we were like this. I said, you see that? I say, see that right there? We got held up there, but we got it with toys. Just see the video. We tore him up anyway. Read that again. Read that again. No one of these shall fail. None shall want her mate. We cannot mate the Bible with any other book of God. You can't do it. The Quran don't hold no water. Okay, so seek ye out of the book of the Lord. I read not. Seek ye out of the Quran and read. So seek out a book of the Lord, that's the Bible. Go ahead. For my mouth and have commanded. God's mouth commanded. Go ahead. And his spirit it have gathered them. And God's Spirit is the one at Gaza. Could many times people say, well, how come only these books were gathered? God's Spirit had it. So for these last days, what we got, he said, hold fast till I come. Yeah, I remember. Then he said in Revelation to, what you have, hold fast to lock him. He has given us enough of what we need. So when you go out on your own, Negros do this searching. I'm gonna find another book because you have people say, well, how come? Remember the Apocrypha? You may ask, what about the Apocrypha? That was in the original King James Version Bible, and not just that version, the versions that preceded it. You had the Greek Septuagint, the Apocrypha was in it. You also had the Latin Vulgate, the Apocrypha was in that too. So now, and it's the same books. You got brothers and sisters that go, well, I'm gonna do my own research. I'm gonna go outside and find other books. What I want you to realize about King James, I'm gonna start with him because people would throw his name out there. He gathered 47 of the top scholars who weren't, listen to what I'm about to say, fluent in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. You Negroes today, I massage, in case you don't know, you, and let me get a camera because not y'all are here, some online. You number one, you're not a scholar, and you're not fluent in Greek, Hebrew, or Latin. So do yourselves and do everybody around you a favor, put it down. Because they go, I did my research. The Book of Enoch, and a book of what's another book? The book of Jasher. And in, what did I forgot? Because I glanced through the little stupid books. One of them says Esau was forgiven and God accepted him. I know you can't see that. That contradicts the Bible. They can't see it. Carnatic at all. Edomites in a congregation have married to white women. Who the hell is this? I know the congregation would is just think, take a second. You know, oh, that's that congregation talking all kind of madness. Okay, go back to where was that? Isaiah chapter 34 and verse 16. Seek ye out of the book of the Lord and read. No one of these shall fail. None shall want her mate. For my mouth it have commanded, and his spirit have gathered. So God's Spirit gathered the records that we have today. Don't you, in your half a degree, you might have barely left out of high school, now you're doing research in books written in Greek and Latin and Hebrew and getting all confused up, then you want to go on a TV show and try to battle Edomite who speaks fluent Greek and get humiliated because you want to dabble in something you have no idea what you dog. You don't know languages, you barely speak English. At least in England, don't just wanna say y'all speak the Queen's English. That's they say that's the pure English. We got garbage. America got garbage English. If we got Ebonics English over here, right? Captain O'Shea, he knows what I'm talking about from there. Let's go back to Revelation 1. Revelation chapter 1 and verse 3. Blessed is he that readeth. Blessed is he that readeth. And they that hear the words of this prophecy. I see the poverty. And they that hear the words of this prophecy. Let me tell you someone pot says read, one part says here. We did the reading already. Let's talk about two. Here. Given that Romans 10 verse 17. Hearing is good. Hearing builds faith. Many times, new men and women often ask, how do I build my faith? Paul gave you the secret in Romans 10 verse 17. Read that. Romans chapter 10 verse 17. So then faith cometh by hearing. Faith comes by what? By hearing. Faith comes by hearing. Hearing, hearing. Just like you know your children will know every Barney song, every would almost Sesame Street songs. You remember as literally couldn't you? Like I wasn't always bad in math, but I remember in English. But I remember days to have something cold when I was young. Schoolhouse Rock, y'all know them things. I'll be taking a test and I'd be like, conjunction junction, Wilshire. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I'm just sitting here. I learned by hearing and the music, it's stuck in my mind. Me just reading, I couldn't retain it, but it was through music that I retained it. Thought hearing that I retained it. It was another one. Remember the black guy was verb? I forgot. It was a black guy with an afro. I can't remember. Verb. Yessum. No, it was a cool house rock. Same thing. Anyway, yeah, I'll talk about you. All the ones in here know what I'm talking about. Alright, see, they're only three brothers know what I'm talking about. You don't know. Oh, you from England. Anyway, so you know, you talking to you. We did. So then faith cometh by hearing. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. And in case you're confused about what you should be hearing to build your faith, he says, hearing by the Word of God. That's not tell people something. You got to learn your, you got to understand your own particular learning curve. Some of you can read and retain. Some of us cannot. Some of us must hear to retain. You got to know what works for you. Okay, I can't sit up late and read. You ever so read and get the devil jump when you fall asleep. I cannot do it. But if I'm listening, I can stay awake. I'm like, oh, okay, there. Yeah, okay. I'm gonna write that down. Rewind that. Uh-huh. That's it right there. That's that's how I learned. Everybody ain't the same. So don't be comparing yourselves to each other. We all got a different learning curve. But you won't find out with the kids. All kids don't learn the same. The, what the women have to figure out what works for this particular child right here. That's why a lot of time, black teachers are better than European teachers because they, they invest themselves to the children's learning and they try to figure out what allows this child to learn opposed to another one, rather than it's already got ADHD, just give a medication. No, you got to figure out what makes this child tick, what makes him learn, what makes her learn. About instead, I'm saying. Let's go back to Revelation 1. That's my sister's. Don't know the big job they got. It's a big. Give me that in First Maccabees 7. You know what I want, right? Yes. I remember one sisters. I wish I could do what y'all means to know. You don't, you don't want to believe me. You don't like getting spit. Don't spit on and threatened to get beat up or gun pulled down on you. Sister, stay in your lane and deal with some hard-headed children. Read that. You know what I want, right? First Maccabees 7. Second Maccabees 7. Excuse me. I'm sorry. Second Maccabees chapter 7. Verse. He said, that's it. Thank you. Thank you. But she bowing herself toward him, laughing the cruel tyrant to scorn, spake in her country language on this manner, Oh my son, have pity upon me, that bare thee nine months in my womb, and gave thee suck three years, and nourish thee, and brought thee up unto this egg. When it says, gave thee suck three years, I'm for mothers to breastfeed the babies for three years. The first three years of great. And endure the troubles of education. See, they endure the troubles of education. I don't have seven sons. You gotta figure, you got, you gotta sit down and figure out what she means by the troubles of education. All seven sons were not the same. Each of them had a different learning curve. I gotta, I gotta get each of them got a different learning curve. Put that right there. I got it. She had to figure out out of them seven boys, what worked for each of them, okay? What got each of them to learn when it came to math, when it came to English, my English, reading, arithmetic, you know, she had to figure all that out. The scriptures, what got there, got them learning. Let's go back to Revelation 1. Revelation chapter 1 and verse 3. Blessed is he that readeth. Blessed is he that readeth. And they that hear the words of this prophecy. And they that hear the words of this prophecy. Go ahead. And keep those things which are written therein. And keep those things that are written therein. What verse? Wet verse? The end of verse three. Great. For the time is that hang. For the time is at hand. Come on. Verse 4. John to the seven churches which are in Asia. Grace be unto you and peace from him which is, and which was, and which is to come. And from the seven spirits which are before his throne. Read it again. John chapter 1 and verse. I mean, Revelation chapter 1 and verse 4. John to the seven churches which are in Asia. John to the seven churches which is in Asia. Write this down. Asia Minor. We have course, you got Asia in terms of China, then you got Asia in terms of Asia Minor. Watch this. Give me Acts chapter 6 and verse 9. Acts chapter 6 and verse 9. Then there arose certain of the synagogue which is called the synagogue of Libertines, of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, Alexandra, and aleck Alexandrians, where in Egypt? Cyrenians was North Africa. Okay, somebody look up Libertines for me. You got a Bible dictionary, look that up for me. Who got one? Look it up. Look it up. Look it up. I know Cyrene was in North Africa, and Alexandria was in Egypt, but both of them two was Africa. I'm just curious about The Libertines. I didn't look that one up yet. You looking it up? All right. Libertines. But there was synagogues there. There was synagogues, and these men had came and spoke and stood before my God. It's nothing. You got it. Just what is say? Libertines. Captive Jews brought to Rome by Pompey in 63 BC, liberated subsequently, and how you say this word, and repatriated to Palestine, where presumably they built a synagogue, still occupied better by their descendants a century after Pompey's Palestinian campaign. Okay, so they came from Rome. All right, so these Jews came from. That's what you read, solemn? Yes, sir. Okay, so let's go back. Acts 6 and 9. Acts 6 and verse 9. Then there arose certain of the synagogue which is called the synagogue of The Libertines, and the Cyrenians, and the Alexandrians, and of them Cilicia, and of Asia, dispute disputing with Stephen. Sorcerer. And of Asia, referring to Asia Minor, which is around the Mediterranean Sea. Give me Acts 16 verse 6. Acts chapter 16 and verse 6. Now when they had gone throughout Persia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia. After they were come to me, I want you to see that. Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia, meaning in Asia Minor. So you got a pause there. The spirit didn't want them to teach in Asia Minor at that time. At that time. Watch this. Give me Acts 19:26. Acts, Acts chapter 19 and verse 26. Moreover, you see in here that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul have persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods which are made with hands. So what does that prove? That sometime later, the spirit said to Paul in them, now is time to preach throughout Asia. But when we read in Acts 16, at that time, the spirit, the Holy Ghost said, do not go there. Now is not the time. There's nobody going to wake up at that time. The spirits that you have to wait till later. That's why sometimes we want to go to certain places, and the spirit be like, this, be a block, we can't get there. There's another scripture in Acts, I forgot where it is, where Paul had a dream, and it said the spirit said he has, I think I've said in Macedonia, said he had a dream that they were believers in Macedonia. But know what that is? Just popped in my mind. Just popped it on mine. Uh, look up Macedonia. This [ __ ] you have to be able to see a pre-sub in there. Mmm, bear with me a second. I'm just looking, looking, looking. Back 16 and 10. Is that it? Was one about to dream? Where is it? Six, five. Is 16 and nine. And a vision appeared on. Oh, nine. And I would just read. No, no, we were raised to be that. Acts chapter 16 and verse 9. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. There stood a man of Macedonia. Hey, start above it. Watch this. Start at seven. Verse seven. After they will come to Monsieur, they is number six. Is said, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia. I've seen in verse six, right? Read down. After they will come to Messiah, they say to go into Bethany. Bethany. They wanted to go into pathetic. Go ahead. But the spirit suffered them not. The spirit blocked them. No, don't go there either. Go ahead. And they passing by Messiah, came to Troas. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, come over into Macedonia and help us. And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavored to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them. See that? So the Lord will sometimes block you away from certain areas, certain regions, certain countries, certain states. Don't go there. There's nobody there yet. I want you to go here. We got to do things in God's time. Everybody understand that? Watch this. Let's go from there. First Corinthians 16. First Corinthians chapter 16 and verse 19. First Corinthians chapter 16 and verse 19. The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord with the church that is in their house. So they obviously had a church in churches of Asia, churches of Asia Minor, they were churches built up by the time Paul had written this letter. Okay, let's go back. For me, let's go back to Revelation 1 and 4. Once again. Revelation chapter 1 and verse 4. John to the seven churches which are in Asia. Grace be unto you and peace from him which is, and which was, and which is to come. And from the seven spirits which are before his throne. All those seven spirits or seven Archangels which are before his storm. We went over this last week. Those as we read down, it's going to tell you that also about them seven spirits which are the seven lamps of the Lord, which represent the seven churches, right? And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the Dead. Now pause right there. And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness. Give me the precept in arm Isaiah 55 and 4. Isaiah chapter 55 and verse 4. Remember we're going across. I said, Jesus Christ, the faithful witness. Good. Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people. The Lord gave Christ for a witness to the people, a leader and commanded to the people. Christ is a leader and commander of the people. That's some heavy stuff right there. Was that over? Yes, sir. From there, let's go back. Revelation chapter 1 and verse 4. Verse 5. Verse 5. And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the Dead. And he is the first begotten of the Dead. Give me that in First Corinthians 15:20, please. First Corinthians 15 verse 20. Where the Apostle Paul addressed the same thing concerning Christ. First Corinthians chapter 15 and verse 20. But now is Christ risen from the dead, but now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. And become the firstfruits of them that slept. Letting you know he was the first to rise from the dead. Go ahead. Let's go back. Let's go back. Actually, give me, uh, give me First Peter 1 in 3. First Peter 1 verse 3. For his Peters chapter 1 and verse 3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. By the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Was that the whole verse? Yes, sir. Let's go back to Revelation 1:5. Revelation chapter 1 and verse 5. And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the Dead. And the Prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us. Unto him that loved us. Unto him that loved us. Give me that in John 5:9. Unto him that loved us. John 15 verse 9. John chapter 15 and verse 9. As the father have we, has been rather, sorry, as the father hath loved me, as the father hath loved me, so have I loved you. So have I loved you. Go ahead. Continue ye in my love. Continue ye in my love. That love goes right back to Deuteronomy 7 and verse 6 and 7. You need another mic? Yes, Diane. Give me that in Deuteronomy 7. Deuteronomy chapter 7 verse 6 and 7. And verse 6. For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God. The Lord thy God have chosen thee to be a special people unto himself above all people that are upon the face of the earth. The Lord did not set his love up, you know, choose you because you were more in number than any people, for you were the
Fewest of all people here comes. But because the Lord loved you, this is the same love Christ said in John 15, verse 9. This is the same love John the Apostle, John the Revelator, spoke of in Revelation 1, verse 5. Good. And because He would keep the oath which He had sworn unto your father's, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand. So the Lord loved us because of the oath He made what our ancestors, our forefathers. Okay, that's what that love comes from.
Let's go back to Revelation 1 and 5. Revelation chapter 1 and verse 5. And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the Dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood. He's the one that washed us from our own wickedness. Give me that. Now, Hebrews 9:14. It is His blood that washes us from our sin. Our sins are not washed away because of our quote-unquote good works. His sins are washed away because of the sacrifice Christ gave for us.
Watch this. Hebrews chapter 9, verse 14. "How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works?" The dead works is the breaking of the commandments. That's the dead work. Sweet. Again, "How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from the dead works to serve the Living God?" Right now, because He purged us from our dead works, our breaking of God's law, now we can serve the Living God. How? By keeping the commandments. That's through Christ's blood.
Give me that. Now, Revelation 12. Go to Revelation 12 and I want verse 11. Revelation chapter 12, verse 11. Watch this. Pay close attention. "And they overcame him." And they overcame him, referring to Satan. It's very versatile. We understand who is talking about. "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world." He was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Now, this great dragon, this old serpent called the devil and Satan, which deceives the whole world, is the spiritual demon as well as the United States of America. Esau, because Esau is the children of the devil. If I understand that, they are their children. Give. I know something. You get confused. Like, huh? I don't get it. Give me that. Uh, I believe it's Genesis chapter 4, and we can remind me to come back to Revelation 12. Yes, sir. Yes, they are the children of the devil. I'm not saying it based on any kind of racist rhetoric. I'm saying it based on scripture. Get mad now. Call your mama. Read that Genesis 4. Let me look at it. For verse. Yes, that's it. Verse 7. Genesis 3:6. Genesis chapter 4 and verse 6. "And the Lord said unto Cain, Wherefore art thou wroth? Why are you mad, Cain? And why is thy countenance fallen?" Why is your countenance falling? Remember, the law of sacrifice was instituted during the time of Adam and Eve. Let me say it again. I've said it again. I know some of y'all knew the law of sacrifice was instituted with Adam and Eve. When you read Genesis 3 and verse, verse is that 21? Wheat. Verse 21. Genesis chapter 3 and verse 21. "Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skin, and clothed them." The coats of skin was supposed to, will do what? Covered him from this. What was done? What was that? That's a parable. That's a metaphor right there. This talking about animal sacrifice. Well, how do you know it's talking about sacrifice? Let's look down in Genesis 4 and verse 3. Genesis chapter, Genesis 4 and 4. Genesis chapter 4, verse 4. "And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof: and the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering." How did Abel know about animal sacrifice? Because of Genesis 3:21. Animal sacrifice was introduced there. The blood of the animal gave, at that time, the forgiveness of sin.
So now Abel brought what was commanded. Watch what Cain does. Read verse 5. "But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect." And Cain was very wroth. Right. Because Cain brought fruits and vegetables. Right. His countenance fell. And the Lord said unto Cain, "Wherefore art thou wroth? And wherefore is thy countenance fallen? Why are you mad? Why your face look like that?" Good. "If thou doest well, if you obey what I said through your mother and father, of animal sacrifice, shall not be accepted? Won't I accept you then?" Good. "And if thou doest not well, if you disobey me by breaking the commandment I gave your father and mother, to give you, sin lieth at the door." Sin is at your door. Go ahead. "And unto thee shall be his desire, and unto Satan shall be his desire." Go ahead. "And thou shalt rule over him." There's our Satan. "And Satan shall rule over you." Meaning what? Satan gonna be your daddy. Satan will be your father. Satan will be your God. That's what he's talking about right there.
Now, let's go on back. Now, I said all that. Claw had to make my point. Let's go on back. Now, he was in Revelation 12 and 9. Revelation chapter 12 and verse 9. "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent." Say the old serpent. Cause it's the same serpent in Genesis, the third chapter. That's why it says old serpent. "But called the devil, and Satan, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world." Which deceiveth the whole world. Go ahead. "He was cast out into the air." He was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And his allies were cast out with him.
Now, jump down to verse 12. Verse 11, I'm sorry. Verse 11. "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb." Let's stop right there. The only way, brothers and sisters, we can overcome Satan and his minions, which is Esau, Edom. The only way we can overcome them. It says right there, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb." That's the only. That's why we gotta give all honor and praise to the Lord for Christ. Read that again so we can. I want that to sink in and marinate. It's not. We're not overcoming on our good works because the Bible says all our righteousness is as what? Filthy rags. No matter how good we think we is, yesterday we think we is. I said it like that on purpose. We ain't nothing. The Bible says, "We overcame him by the blood of the Lamb." We dead. Again, Revelation chapter 12 and verse 11. "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony." And the word of our testimony is the testimony God gave us concerning Christ. It's not your individual testimony because your individual testimony is garbage. I'm gonna say it again. Your individual testimony is garbage. Even a priest of Psalms 132. Now, I know you're looking at me, why my testimony gotta be garbage? Your testimony is garbage because the second you get mad at me or any of the leadership, you give us the finger and you walk out the doors. Didn't we just see that last year? Hey, Bishop, you know what's funny? Um, I remember we was doing those, um, our sieve videos, the little 10-minute videos about all our little testimony. After all the thing happened, I'm a beau. Sister did her testimony. She ain't going nowhere. I'm here. I'm rock solid and I'm good. And I'm good without you. Are seeing this is how I came in. And two days later, she was talking evil about is in love with the other Negroes. See that? That's why your testimonies are all garbage. That's what Christ said, "He that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved." Cuz right now, you talk smack right now. So your testimony. What the Lord looking for? Get that sound from 32. Psalms out of the 132, verse 11. "The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David: he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne." Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. Meaning of the sperm that comes from you, I will come and sit on your throne. Watch this. "If thy children will keep my covenant, and my testimony that I shall teach them." See what it says about us? If we shall keep the testimony that God teaches us, not your testimony. Again, let me say it again. Your testimony is garbage. The second you get angry, you're out the door. And tomorrow, you might be a Muslim or a Seventh-day Adventist. So your testimony is garbage. My testimony is garbage. It's nothing. Out my testimony. God's not looking for. He wants to hear the testimony that He taught us concerning His Son. In case you didn't know it, that testimony is more important than anybody in this room. Anybody listening. Read that again. Verse 12. "If thy children will keep my covenant, and my testimony that I shall teach them." In case you forgot. Two testimonies. Read verse 11 again. Verse 11. "The Lord has sworn in truth unto David: he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I sit upon thy throne." Now, let me tell you something about that verse right there. That verse proves there's no such thing as Immaculate Conception. I'ma say it again. That verse proves there's no such thing as Immaculate Conception. So for your mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers that are following an Immaculate Conception doctrine, God's not looking. That's not the testimony God's looking for. The only way you want to sit on the throne. Read it again from verse 11. Psalms chapter 132, verse 11. "The Lord have sworn in truth unto David: he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I sit upon thy throne. If thy children will keep my covenant, and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore." Only way we will sit on thrones, brothers, is we got to follow the testimony God gave about Christ. Then He would come through the seed of David. If you got any other thing in your head, this ain't for you. You better go on back to Creflo. Going back to T.D. Jakes. Going back to I.N.D. Bynum. Going back to Joel Osteen. Give me another one. Going back to Billy Graham. Dead man. He going back to Benny Hinn. Going back to this ain't for you. Cuz you don't believe the testimony God gave of His Son that He would come through the fruit of His loins. Give me the next precept. It's in Acts 2. Just popped in my head. It says the same thing, right? I want that one. One mentions David. In Acts. Acts 2 and 30. Started 29. Acts 2:29. Is saying the same thing Psalms said. Watch this. Acts chapter 2 and verse 29. "Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David." The word patriarch means forefather. Good. "That he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day." Sepulchre cause the graveyard, gravestones right there. Go ahead. "Therefore being a prophet, cause David was a prophet, and knowing that God hath sworn with an oath to him, God swore with an oath to David, that of the fruits of his loins, that of the seed, the spawn that comes from his loins according to the flesh." That's the proof right there. That is talking about sperm. According to the flesh, not spirit. According to the flesh, "That He would raise up Christ to sit on his throne." So if you got any other testimony other than that, you in the wrong place. And this Bible is not for you. You got some Egyptology Christian crap all in your head. This is not for you.
Let's go on back now. I said all that. Claw had to make my point. Let's go on back. Now, he was in Revelation 12 and 9. Revelation chapter 12 and verse 9. "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent." Say the old serpent. Cause it's the same serpent in Genesis, the third chapter. That's why it says old serpent. "But called the devil, and Satan, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world." Which deceiveth the whole world. Go ahead. "He was cast out into the air." He was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And his allies were cast out with him.
Now, jump down to verse 12. Verse 11, I'm sorry. Verse 11. "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb." Let's stop right there. The only way, brothers and sisters, we can overcome Satan and his minions, which is Esau, Edom. The only way we can overcome them. It says right there, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb." That's the only. That's why we gotta give all honor and praise to the Lord for Christ. Read that again so we can. I want that to sink in and marinate. It's not. We're not overcoming on our good works because the Bible says all our righteousness is as what? Filthy rags. No matter how good we think we is, yesterday we think we is. I said it like that on purpose. We ain't nothing. The Bible says, "We overcame him by the blood of the Lamb." We dead. Again, Revelation chapter 12 and verse 11. "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony." And the word of our testimony is the testimony God gave us concerning Christ. It's not your individual testimony because your individual testimony is garbage. I'm gonna say it again. Your individual testimony is garbage. Even a priest of Psalms 132. Now, I know you're looking at me, why my testimony gotta be garbage? Your testimony is garbage because the second you get mad at me or any of the leadership, you give us the finger and you walk out the doors. Didn't we just see that last year?

Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. Meaning of the sperm that comes from you, I will come and sit on your throne. Watch this. "If thy children will keep my covenant, and my testimony that I shall teach them." See what it says about us? If we shall keep the testimony that God teaches us, not your testimony. Again, let me say it again. Your testimony is garbage. The second you get angry, you're out the door. And tomorrow, you might be a Muslim or a Seventh-day Adventist. So your testimony is garbage. My testimony is garbage. It's nothing. Out my testimony. God's not looking for. He wants to hear the testimony that He taught us concerning His Son. In case you didn't know it, that testimony is more important than anybody in this room. Anybody listening. Read that again. Verse 12. "If thy children will keep my covenant, and my testimony that I shall teach them." In case you forgot. Two testimonies. Read verse 11 again. Verse 11. "The Lord has sworn in truth unto David: he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I sit upon thy throne." Now, let me tell you something about that verse right there. That verse proves there's no such thing as Immaculate Conception. I'ma say it again. That verse proves there's no such thing as Immaculate Conception. So for your mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers that are following an Immaculate Conception doctrine, God's not looking. That's not the testimony God's looking for. The only way you want to sit on the throne. Read it again from verse 11. Psalms chapter 132, verse 11. "The Lord have sworn in truth unto David: he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I sit upon thy throne. If thy children will keep my covenant, and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore." Only way we will sit on thrones, brothers, is we got to follow the testimony God gave about Christ. Then He would come through the seed of David. If you got any other thing in your head, this ain't for you. You better go on back to Creflo. Going back to T.D. Jakes. Going back to I.N.D. Bynum. Going back to Joel Osteen. Give me another one. Going back to Billy Graham. Dead man. He going back to Benny Hinn. Going back to this ain't for you. Cuz you don't believe the testimony God gave of His Son that He would come through the fruit of His loins. Give me the next precept. It's in Acts 2. Just popped in my head. It says the same thing, right? I want that one. One mentions David. In Acts. Acts 2 and 30. Started 29. Acts 2:29. Is saying the same thing Psalms said. Watch this. Acts chapter 2 and verse 29. "Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David." The word patriarch means forefather. Good. "That he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day." Sepulchre cause the graveyard, gravestones right there. Go ahead. "Therefore being a prophet, cause David was a prophet, and knowing that God hath sworn with an oath to him, God swore with an oath to David, that of the fruits of his loins, that of the seed, the spawn that comes from his loins according to the flesh." That's the proof right there. That is talking about sperm. According to the flesh, not spirit. According to the flesh, "That He would raise up Christ to sit on his throne." So if you got any other testimony other than that, you in the wrong place. And this Bible is not for you. You got some Egyptology Christian crap all in your head. This is not for you.
Let's go on back now. We was in Revelation 12, right? Yes, sir. 12 and what verse was that? We was at 11. I forgot. Yes, sir. Good. We did again. Revelation chapter 12, verse 11. "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb." So we gonna overcome by the blood of Christ. Go ahead. "And by the word of their testimony." And by the word of their testimony, which is the testimony God taught us about His Son, not your testimony. Go ahead. "And they loved not their lives unto the death." And they loved not their lives unto the death.
So let's go back to Revelation 1 now. Revelation 1 and we at verse 6 now, right? Yes. Revelation chapter 1 and verse 6. "And hath made us kings and priests unto God." So out of 5 again. I want to read into that. Revelation chapter 1, verse 5. "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the Dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood. And hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen." Y'all see that? Earth made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Watch this. Watch this. Give me Revelation 5:10. Revelation chapter 5 and verse 10. "And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth." And we shall reign on earth.
Now, from there, watch this. Watch this. Revelation 20 and 4. All the things connect. These are the precepts that connect. Revelation chapter 20, verse 4. "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them." And power was given unto them. That's the judgment is given to them. Good. "And I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus." They lost their lives. Go ahead. "And for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, which had not worshipped the white man, neither his image, neither white image of Jesus, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads or believed their political policies or religions or in their hands didn't support it with their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." As they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Go ahead. "But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished." You know who the rest of the dead is? Given a precept. Zechariah 13 and 8. "But the rest of the dead lived not again." That's your mothers and your fathers, sisters and brothers, friends, uncles, and aunts that have rejected this truth, these words, and scripts. They died in sin. I'm just telling you. I know the women right. Never mom. Not mama. My mama. Sheep. She read the Bible all her life. Yeah. What's that white image of the beast on the wall back there? You ain't foolin' nobody, sister. Your mama was the devil. Read that Zechariah chapter 13, verse 8. "And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die." Y'all see the word land right there? It don't say lands. It says two parts in all the land. That's for my one particular land, Babylon the Great. We did again. "And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, because that land has watch." Read on. "Saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die." Two parts shall be cut off and die. Two out of three of us shall be cut off and die here in Babylon. Good. "But the third, but the third shall be left therein." Shall be left therein. "And I will bring the third part through the fire." And I will bring the third part through. That's the key. Through the fire. That fire is not just a spiritual fire. That's fire. Is a literal fire. Watch the hole. That Solomon get there in Revelation 18 until about that fire. Now, 18. Another state. Oh. Revelation chapter 18, verse 8 and 9. Verse 8. "Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire." Now, see that fire? That fire idea is the same fire in Zechariah 13. Go ahead. "For strong is the Lord God who judgeth her." Go ahead. "And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning." Shall see the smoke of her burning. Mmm-hmm.
Let's go on back. Going back to Zechariah. No, no, no. I don't want to go there. Now, go to Second Thessalonians. Two. Satting. Write these notes down. It just popped in my head. Here. Second Thessalonians 2. I think I want verse 10. I'm guessing. I'm guessing that Catalonian 12 is the point. Now, we go in here to explain about some two-thirds let's cut off here to help explain the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years was up. Here go. Watch this. 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2 and verse 10. "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved." See that? That's talking about our mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers. You try to give the Word of God to, and they go, "I ain't believing that crap. I'm following T.D. Jakes. I don't believe that crap. I'll follow Creflo. I don't believe in that crap. I follow Joel Osteen, All I Need A Bynum, or Paul A. White. I don't believe none of that is you like crap." You saying it says, "Because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved." Watch this. Verse 11. "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie." The lie I believe is that Christ as a white man. The lie that they believe is that Jesus Christ, a white man, died for all races, people, and tongues on the planet Earth, and everybody can be saved in white man Jesus. Go ahead. "That they all might be damned." This is the verse that explains the rest of the dead lived not again. We'd have verse 12 again. "That they all might be damned." Don't you say I weren't damned. So your mothers are damned. Some of your fathers are damned. Some of your children are damned. Damned. That's some heavy stuff right there. We down again. If the Bible says that they all might be damned, who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Pleasure in breaking God's law. I want Christmas. I want Thanksgiving. I want New Year's Eve. I want Pan-Asian women. I want pork, shrimp, and scallop. That's what I want, damn it. I want white man Jesus. That's what they wanted. That's what they got. That's the lie God believed gave them. That's why you dis. No scripts. There's no magic scripture, brothers or sisters. Can you talk to my mama? Maybe if you said shook. No, no, no. I don't have a magic scripture. The same scripture I gave you is the same you gave her. She didn't believe it. No, she don't believe you were in the slave your own ships. Nope. Okay, what can we do? There's nothing we can do. Bye-bye. See you later. Now, the rear. I often see when I talk about those that are damned, I always try to preface it by them that died in their sin. I'm not talking about the brother, sister that walks by and says, "Ah, that's a hell." What? I'm not talking about them. Why? Because the day you reach out to them might not be the day God called them to wake up. One example do we have about that? The Apostle Paul. Paul had heard the gospel. He rejected it day after day and was killing the church. But it wasn't until Christ said, "Today's your day." POW. [ __ ] Now he woke up. Oh, [ __ ] then Paul woke up. Everybody has a particular day, a particular month, a particular year wherein we are chosen, called to wake up. So that's why I always say, if our how people hear this truth and they die in that sin and their sins, they're damned. They're damned. Not. But I'm not referring to the man or woman, a brother, sister walks by and rejects it that day because they might wake up next week, next month, or next year. You never know. Only the Lord knows. I've understand what I'm saying. All right, let's go home. Back. We're over. Where was we at? Why did I go there? Revelation 20 and 5. Thank you. Thank you. Revelation chapter 20 and verse 5. "But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished." Actually, your mothers and fathers, aunts, uncles, cousins who died in their sins, having rejected the truth. You heard what I said? Having rejected the truth. Let me say it again. I know some of you might be simple up in here. I'm not talking about cuz you're often asked, what about during the time of our Marcus Garvey when the truth? I'm not talking about that. Thessalonians 2, was it talking about that? 2nd Thessalonians 2 was talking about the Word of God comes out in the earth and they rejected. That's not talking about during the time of Marcus Garvey. In them, ain't talking about the time of my even MLK Day. The truth wasn't out like it is now. But now, with all these men and women, the truth is out now. We can clearly say you've heard the truth. You died in your sins. Okay. I understand that now. All right. All right. We did again. "But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished." This is the first resurrection. This is the first resurrection. Now, we went over this before. Circle. Look at the video. Let's go on back to Revelation 1. Revelation chapter 1 and verse 7. I think we're at. Revelation chapter 1 in verse 7. "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him." Behold, He cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see him. The clouds are the chariots. Write that down. The clouds are the chariots. Giving in raah. Psalms 104. Give me that. Psalms 104 about them clouds. You know what I want? Solomon. Right. Uh, no, sir. Since Psalms 104. Look around. First over H3. Psalms chapter 104 and verse 3. "Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who maketh the clouds his chariots?" That right there is a metaphor in itself, an allegory. Who maketh the clouds his chariots? Meaning He travels. You don't mean God travels in a puff of smoke. When it's talking about the clouds, talking about His traveling vehicles. It's what the white man calls UFOs. And that's what the angels are. In memory. And Ezekiel 1, want to talk about the wheel with human. Give me that real quick. Ezekiel chapter 1. We'll go over that another time, but I just want to touch on it. Ezekiel chapter 1, verse 16. "The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the color of a beryl: and they and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel." So this chariot was like a wheel in the middle of a wheel. Go ahead. "When they went, they went upon their four sides, and they turned not." When they went. You know what it means, sir? And they turned out. You know how when you're in a car and you want to turn, you got to make that turn like that? The chariots don't do that. When a chariot travels and they want to go left, they go like that. When I want to go right, they go like that. They don't have to go. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. They don't got to do that. And they don't have to roll like that. "As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful, and their rings were full of eyes round about them." Four. Go ahead. "And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them, and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up." Watch this. Go ahead. "Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went thither." Was their spirit to go? Where? Imagine this. They gave an example in just a movie, Black Panther. Remember when she was flying that chariot? It was with her. With our mind. They got that from this. That's what that part means. And whithersoever the spirit was to go, that's where they went. They didn't have to think about it and make a turn. No. I want to go left. I'm back. Just like the right. Beat down. Up. Just like that. Wherever the thought, your thoughts were to go, that's how that chariots, these chariots rolled. Read first twenty again. "Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went thither: there was their spirit to go. And the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheel." So the spirit and the chariot was connected. It was one. So when asked, when think about it, when his spirit, when an angel got in the spirit connected with that vehicle, they became one. Go ahead. "When those went, these went, and when those stood, these stood, and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheel." So the spirit of the angels was in the chariot. That's how you have. I understand. I know it's kind of hard and difficult to comprehend because we men. But that's what it's making reference to. That's going back now to Revelation 1 and verse 7 again. Revelation chapter 1, verse 7. "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him." Behold, He comes with clouds, and every eye shall see. When my chariots come, everybody's gonna. They had that movie V. Remember that movie? Feedback in the day. Everybody said it's an invasion. When it says every eye shall see. Give me that in Habakkuk 3. It might be 16. I can't remember. It's been a while. You bear with me. Mmm. Back. I mean, yeah. Habakkuk, not Hosea. Habakkuk chapter 3. You know what? First someone. Solomon. Verse 16. Yes, that's it. Habakkuk chapter 3, verse 16. "When I heard, my belly trembled: my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself." He was terrified by the visions he saw. Go ahead. "That I might rest in the day of trouble." Habakkuk said, "I want to be resting in the day of trouble." When the day the Lord comes, he says, "Please, let me be at rest. I don't want to be alive walking around earth." Go ahead. "When he cometh up unto the people." And Christ comes up to the people. Here comes. He will invade them with his Chi. He will invade them with his troops. That's why you got movies, course, star invasions, and this invasion, and what's the one Will Smith for her Independence Day invasion? At a body snap. All those movies about invasions come from the biblical text, the writings of our forefathers. That's where they get that from. But let's make it a little green men with big heads and eyeballs and all of this. And just take me to your leader. Him. And he go to the white man. Oh, he stuck me with something up my my behind. The hell is there? Anybody playing with your nasty stinger bine? There's anything nasty. White folks. He deep. He prodded me. Get the hell out of here. You nasty. Some of them. Give me, uh, excuse me. Give me Matthew 24:30, please. Invasion. Invasion. Matthew chapter 24 and verse new 130 and 31. "30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven." Coming in the clouds of heaven. So Matthew says the same thing that John said about the clouds of heaven. Christ coming with the clouds of heaven. "With power, and great glory." And great glory. "31 And he shall send his angels." See that? "And he shall send his angels." Go ahead. "With a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds." And they shall gather together his elect from the four winds. He shall gather together his elect from the four winds. Read from one end of heaven to the other. From one end of heaven to the other. So here's the elect. Give me that. You know the precept for that in Isaiah. There 43 or 45. 45, yeah. Give me that about his elect. Car. There might be a Christian sitting in here. See, he said he gonna gather you like this. Anybody that believes in Jesus. Isaiah chapter 45 and verse 4. "For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect." The elect that the angels are gathered. Oh, only the Israelites. So can you please tell the people in the churches, in Creflo, Joel Osteen, T.D. Jakes, God ain't coming to save you. He's only coming for the Israelites. That's what the Bible says. So you can, uh, throw your money around at T.D. and Creflo, why I need a Bynum, and I know whoever the hell Benny Hinn. You ain't getting saved, brother or sister. That's following. I'm telling you straight. You would. What is what denomination are they anyway? What are they? Oh, they say I'm non-denominational. Anybody could go. The Bible says the Lord is looking for the elect. And he electors who, brothers and sisters? Israel. If you ain't coming that way, you ain't coming. Sorry. Don't say you never was warned. You were walking me down. Luke 9:26, 27. Non-denominational. I heard it all. Now, crazy. I usually feel safe. I'm safe. Luke chapter 9, verse 26. "For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels." Good. "But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God." Now, that's the heavy verse right there. There be some standing here which shall not taste of death till they see the kingdom of God. Meaning when they see. Don't cherries coming. Let's go back to Revelation 1. It's gonna explain. Watch this. Let's go back to Revelation 1:7. Revelation chapter 1, verse 7. "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him." Behold, He comes with clouds, and every eye shall see. And they also which pierced him. Where we were? And they what? And they also which pierced him. What is Christ telling us? Not men. Their piston when he was on the cross. They'll be back in these last days. They're walking the earth today. Wouldn't it be messed up? Cuz you know when we army in the Roman army, you did have Israelites in the Roman army. Wouldn't it be a shame if that was you? And your mind don't get opened up until. Imagine this. When you see the Lord and the chariots coming, your mind opens up. Then it was you. And you see you standing in the Roman garments, Roman with your spear and stabbed Christ on the side. You see yourself in your Roman garments, and you're banging the dirt. Put some things on. Big nails. What I'm things called number spikes through the hands of Christ and through his feet. That's we feel better by saying it was just literal wrote white folks. That feel good. Just say that. You feel better about yourself. Then all right. Well, let's just say white folks. All right. You were there. Mind gonna open up. Well, as they were remembered, it was whooping Christ. And let me say this. Dumb black folks that that was memory. They are members said, uh, they flogged Christ. And another group put the crown of thorns on his head and smacked them and said, "Prophesy unto us, we'll hit you." Imagine when you see the Lord, your mind opens up and this reveal, and you see it right in your mind. That was you. That did that evil. That was you. You're gonna be put to death. See, when people say there's no such thing as regeneration, you want you dead. That's it. You're an idiot. Stop listening to these Christian white folks. They don't know the Bible. Read it again. Revelation 1:7. "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, amen." Even so, it is true. Read verse 8. Verse 8. "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." I. A. See the poverty. "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." So Christ is telling. He says another name I got is the Almighty. Give me that precept in Daniel. No, Isaiah. I'm sorry. 7496. Give me that. I've been 9 and 6 about the Almighty. Isaiah 9 and 6. He will be. Keep on playing. Keep on playing with the Bible. Isaiah chapter 9 and verse 6. "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God." You see the part? The mighty God. That's why I said He was called the Almighty God. "The everlasting Father." And it says the everlasting Father because the one we thought was the heavenly Father, one beginning, was always Christ. Go ahead. "The Prince of Peace." Prince of Peace. Good. "Of the increase of his government." What's that word? Government. Government. Government. A lot of y'all. Somebody on in here right now. Y'all think the Lord is setting up a Sunday school church? No, He's setting up a government. See, the reason we always think Sunday school church because black and brown people, we've never been a part of anything. Give me a word. Anything great. Any kind of structural thing. We've never. We're not there. So we always think low level or sudden. It's new. Government. Government. In every government, there's a top guy. Oh, that's the Lord. He's gonna be the top. And under him, there's gonna be six, you got 12, then you got the rest of the 144. Under that, there's gonna be a government, a structural system set up. And that this. All right. Now, what we doing? This is proving ground. Right here. We're proving ourselves to the Lord. And He's gonna choose who is worthy to sit in what seat. Ever understand that? From there. From there. Give me. I want to go to Exodus now. Is it Exodus 6? Rick. He says 3. Yeah. Give me that. Exodus chapter 6 and verse 3. "And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and not to Jacob, by that mighty name of God Almighty." You see that? Go ahead. "But by my name Jehovah was I not known to them." And some heavy stuff right there. He said, "He appeared unto Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as by the name of God Almighty." So you'll read, oh, that's the Heavenly Father. That's the Father, Father. It is the Father, but not the Father that you're thinking. Go back to Revelation 1 and 8. Revelation chapter 1. That's why Christ said when they said, "Teach us to pray, Lord." He said, "Well, play it like this. Our Father which art in heaven." The Father He was talking about was not Himself, but His Father. And by understand that, there is a Godhead in heaven. I know our little black minds, we can't comprehend it. What I got it? Yes, there is a Godhead. There is a government up in the heavens. Remember we ran off the past few reading about the 24 elders and all that. You got angels for the end. There's a government up there. You don't do whatever the hell you want up there. Go back. Revelation chapter 1, verse 8. "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." Now, I just want to pause there for just for a little bit longer. A little bit longer. Do we read this last week? I believe. But I must touch on it again. In in Proverbs 8:22. Was it 12? 8:22. I think it is. It said He's Alpha and Omega, which is Greek for the beginning and the ending. What does He mean by that? Proverbs chapter 8, verse 22. "The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way." The Lord possessed me in the beginning, beginning, beginning of His ways. Go ahead. "Before his works of old." "I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was." From beginning, or ever the earth was. Good. "When there were no depths, I was brought forth." "When there were no fountains abounding with water." "Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth." While they jet. He had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. "When he prepared the heavens, I was there." You see that? Heavens with an S. Meaning what? We got our first heaven here, which is the sky. The second heaven, which is space. And then you got the third heaven, which is where the Lord dwells. It says, what was that verse say again? "When he prepared the heavens, I was there." He's explaining why they call him the Alpha. Why they call him the beginning. He was set up from the beginning. Before everything else was created, Christ was the first of the Father's creations. The very first. Good. "When he set a compass upon the face of the deep." "When he established the clouds above." "When he strengthened the fountains of the deep." "When he gave to the sea his decree, that the water should not pass his commandment." "When he appointed the foundations of the earth." "Then I was by him, as one brought up with him." That's why I says He's the only begotten Son because when He was the first of the creation. So then, "I was by him, as one brought up with him." Meaning what? The Father taught Christ everything. Before that, before Michael was created, Christ was created. Before Uriel and Gabriel and all the rest, Raphael. Christ was made before every last one of them. That's why John said about Christ, "He was preferred before me." Okay. We don't. "And I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him." Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth. "And my delights were with the sons of men." My delights were with the sons of men. Real quick. Colossians. Colossians. Colossians 1:26. Colossians chapter 1 and verse 26. "Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints." Israelites. Good. "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles which is Christ in you." So the mystery of the glory which is Christ in you had to be taught to the Northern Kingdom. Why? Because they were lost. Okay. They had to be taught the glory of Christ, that Christ came for them to bring them back to their Heavenly Father. Let's go back to Revelation 1. We're going to that more detail later on. You are verse 9 now? Yes. Revelation chapter 1, verse 9. "I John who also am your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ." Can you pull me up the map of Patmos? Of Cilicia? I want a map of Patmos. This is Patmos in the Aegean Sea. Okay. It looks like a little seahorse. That's the shape of it right there. Now, real quick. A sensual article that says John on the island. I think I sent you something that says that. Semi. Let's pop put that in. All right. John of Patmos. Ah, can you see that? Officer. Sun. Sir. All right. Start with Sir. John of Patmos. John of Patmos, also called John the Revelator, John the Divine, John the Theologian, Theologian, and possibly John the Apostle. Greek is the author named as John in the Book of Revelation, the apocalyptic apocalyptic text forming the final book of the New Testament. The text of Revelation states that John was on Patmos, a Greek island, where by most biblical historians he is considered to be exiled as a result of anti-Christian persecution under the Roman Emperor Domitian. Y'all see that? Anti-Christian, meaning what? Anti-Israelites keeping the commandments. That's what it's making reference to. Under who? The Roman Emperor Domitian. And Domitian was related to Titus and Vespasian. He was the younger brother of Titus. He became Emperor. That dude was wicked as hell. Go ahead. Since the Roman era, Christians and historians have considered the Book of Revelation's writer to be the Apostle John. He was John the Evangelist, supposed author of the Gospel of John. However, a minority of. Something. I don't want to wrestle. They always throwing some other stuff. Go all the way down. Go down. Go down. Let me see. I want island of Patmos. Right there. Yeah. Every day. John is considered to be exiled to Patmos, undergoing a time of persecution under the Roman rule of Domitian. Revelation 1, verse 9 states, "I John both your brother and companion in tribulation was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ." Adela Yarborough Collins, a biblical scholar at Yale Divinity School, writes, "Early tradition says that John was banished to Patmos by the Roman authorities. This tradition is credible because banishment was a common punishment used during the Imperial period for a number of offenses. Among such offenses were the practices of magic and astrology. Prophecy was viewed by the Romans as belonging to the same category." So Rome considered any type of prophecy in the same category as magic and astrology. That whether pagan, Jewish, or Christian, prophecy with political implications like that expressed by John in the Book of Revelation would have been perceived as a threat to Roman political power and order. Right. Because during that time, Rome had, for example, they had 10. There were 10 hills and they had 10, 10 allies with them that was supporting Rome. So like when we bring it up to today, some. You got America with the 10 common markets. So it was figuring out. This is a gives room. We got an exile. This guy. Watch. We don't. Three of the islands and thus parades were place where political offenders were banished. Go ahead. John. John was alleged. Bring it down so we could see the words. Alisha. We can't see that. Yeah. Right there. John was allegedly banished by the Roman authorities to the Greek island of Patmos, where, according to tradition, he wrote the Book of Revelation. A court. According to Tertullian and the prescription of heretics, John was banished, presumably to Patmos, after being plunged into boiling oil in Rome and suffering nothing from it. So they threw him in boiling water oiler kill him. To happen. He didn't die. Good. It is said that all in the audience of the Coliseum were converted to Christianity upon witnessing this miracle. This event would have occurred in the late 1st century during the reign of Emperor Domitian. Domitian. Right. So let's go on back now. Let's go on back to Revelation 1. We're at verse 9 again. Revelation chapter 1, verse 9. "I John who also am your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ." So he was banished there not for being a thief or a liar or murderer, but for the Word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. See that? That's why I said he was exiled for the testimony of Christ, not for his own personal testimony. Good. "I was in the spirit on the Lord's day." Wait a minute. Me that the Lord's day. Matthew 12 and 8. Okay. Somebody jump up here. Sunday. The first day of the week. Matthew 12 and a. What is the Lord's day? Matthew chapter 12 and verse 8. "For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath day." That's the Lord's day. The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath day. Go back. Revelation 1 and verse 10. "And I was in the spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of as of a trumpet, saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and without seus write in a book." So Christ gives John direction. That what he sees, I want you to write it down. John. Why? For the last days. For us today. Whatever.
You see, write it down. Go ahead and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia: unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. Give me the map of the seven churches of Cilicia. All right, y'all see this? This is seven churches of Asia, meaning Asia Minor. You can see, do your highlighted thing in the green. You can see it. You got Pergamum, you got Thyatira, Smyrna, Sardis, Philadelphia, emphasis Laodicea. Write this down. Ephesus was the capital of Asia Minor. Ephesus was the capital of Asia Minor. And you can see right off there, see Patmos. Doolittle cursor to here. There's Patmos right there. What John was right there, right there, bottom left. See it? Patmos is written in red right there. Yes, everybody see it? All right. Now, little island, that's what John was. And there's a letter had to go to these seven churches that we just read right there, that we just mentioned. All right.
So let's go on back now. What verse was yet? I just finished verse 11. Okay. Verse 12. Verse 12. And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And I turned to see the voice. You know, John wasn't asleep. He said, "I turned to see the voice that spake with me." Good. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks. What does that mean? He saw a huge menorah, like the menorah that was in the temple. Okay, that giant menorah. He saw that. He saw that. Things on the island of Patmos. He was looking at it. Go ahead. And in the midst of the seven candlesticks. We're real quick, give me that in Exodus 20:5 about this. The seven golden candle. Said Exodus 25:31, 32. Exodus chap 25, verse 31. "And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his boughs, his knobs, and his flowers shall be of the same. And six branches shall come out of the sides of it, three—mmm—three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other." So, subscribing, that's the menorah that was in the temple. So John saw the same thing on the island of Patmos as he stood there and turned to see the voice that was talking to him.
Go back to Revelation 1 and verse 12 again. Revelation chapter 1 and verse 12. "And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks." And in the midst of the seven candlesticks, one like unto the Son of man. Wait a minute. Stop. People get hemmed up. We'll try to hem you up. When it says, it says, "one like unto the Son of Man." He said, "I need them." It was like, "I'm in another..." "Oh, that was him. Oh, that was him." All right. The reason, now remember this year, this is written around the year in 96 AD. 96. Remember Christ was crucified around the year 33 AD. Everybody with me so far? 33 AD to around 96, you got about 63 years have passed. Let me say it again. This is 63 years later. John has not seen Christ for 63 years. Now he turns and says, "This looks like Christ who I walked with. This looks like the man that raised Lazarus from the dead. This looks like him." That's why he said, "You ever see somebody you ain't seen from, like, elementary school, and you looking at him, like, 'That looks like him'? You might not be hard to present sure for Mom, but you gotta just look for me." Anybody know what I'm talking about? Yes, sir. If you've ever been, you know, people you've seen from doing, see for years and years and years, that's him.
So read it again. Revelation chapter 1, verse 13. "And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of Man." Chloe, wait, wait. Son of Man. Son of Man. Son of Man. Son of Man. Son of Man. You can't just run by that. Y'all be reading out on the street. Son of Man, because he came from man. I'ma say it again. There's a world that proves he was not immaculately conceived. They called him the Son of Man because he was of man. Members said he would come from the loins of his father. For Father David. Did we just read that? We read in Psalm 132. We read that in Acts 2. Now it's calling him Son of Man. Give me that. John 1:45. People playing games. Said of Man, because he didn't have no father. You simple as hell. Son of Man, because he had a father. Oh, more on reading. John chapter 1, verse 45. "Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth the son of Joseph." Son of Man. Son of Man. Jesus the son of Joseph. Give me the next one. Matthew 13:55. Matthew the 13th verse 55. "Is not this the carpenter's son? Isn't this the carpenter's son?" Son of Man. Son of Man. Son of Man. Good. "Is not his mother called Mary? And his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas, and his—and his sisters, are they not all with us?" With us.
Romans 1 and 3. Romans chapter 1, verse 3. "Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh." Son of Man. Son of Man. Son of Man. Hebrews 2:16, please. Hebrews chapter 2 and verse 16. "For verily he took not on him the nature of angels." For verily he took not on him. Immaculate Conception. But he going by. "For verily he took not on him Immaculate Conception the nature of angels." The angels didn't come by sex. God just created them. Just like when he brought forth Christ, it wasn't no—a, a, what the hell is this? Read that again. "For verily he took not on him the nature of angels." He didn't come that way. Christ, when he came, he didn't come the way the angels came when God just created them like that. Good. "But he took—he took on him the seed of Abraham." The seed of Abraham. Son of Man. Son of Man. Glad. "Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren." Didn't we just read about his brothers in Matthew 13:55? He had four brothers. Was immaculately conceived? No. Son of Man. Son of Man. Good. "That he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people." How could it be a faithful high priest for us if he didn't go through what we went through? If he wasn't born like we was born? He had to, in order for him to be faithful and understand what we go through mentally, spiritually, and physically, he had to be like us. He was made just like we were. Son of Man. Everybody with me so far? Let's go on back.
Revelation chapter 1, verse 13. "And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle." Mhm. "His head and his hairs were white like wool and the hair on his head and her hair on his face was white like wool." Now, I'ma say something about that right there. Get ready for what I'm about to say right there. Now, Jesus Christ was not walking the earth with the other twelve apostles with white hair. I'ma say it again. When he walked the earth, he did not have white hair. How do we know he didn't have white hair? Here's the proof. Give me Mark 14:42. How old was Christ? Right between 30, 33, right around now. How many who in here is 30, 33? Raise your hand. Okay. Look, this is a young dude. Now imagine if they had a head full of white hair. Just imagine. And at that age, everybody, you would spot them out quick and go, "Hey, this dude is in his early 30s. Head, and his hair, his beard, he got a hard life. Somebody right, something wrong with him." Watch this. Mark 14:42. Watch this. Mark chapter 14, verse 42. "Rise up, let us go: lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand." Christ. "Rise up, let us go: he that betrayeth me is at hand." And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saved him a sign. Token means signs. Saying, "Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely." Why do you have to do that? Why do you have to give a sign? Who was Christ? Because he looked like the rest of them. He looked—imagine all he would have had to say is, "That young guy, the 30-year-old guy with white hair, that's him." You threw out all your sputters, do quick. Young guy with white hair on his head and hair on his face. But he couldn't be spotted. You could not identify him from the rest of them. So Judas said, "The one I kiss is him." Read that again. Verse 44. "And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely." Read. "And as soon as he was come, he goes straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him." Read. "And they laid their hands on him, and took him." You'll see that. They knew that was said. They said, "That's the one we're supposed to get." Okay. You mean nobody else? So remember, many people saw Christ. Remember, he was in the temple overthrowing the freaking tables and stuff. They all saw him. But we got around the rest of them, the twelve apostles. It was like, "Which one was he?" Cause he, they all was around a similar age, same look. Wasn't nobody looking starkly different. They looking for everybody. With me so far? Okay.
So now back to Revelation chapter 1 and verse 14. Revelation chapter 1, verse 14. "His head and his hairs were white like wool." So I went to church. If you, when y'all here, if when I'm going to string my church to say that's his glorified state. I don't bug out on that. Stay there. Yeah. And what's the point? What is your point? You're saying he came back black, but he walked the earth white? Is that what you're trying to say? Well, give us a scripture that says he walked the earth white. They don't have one. Got one? We did again. "His head and his hairs were white like wool." Remember, these two textures of hair primarily on the earth: straight, thin hair, or wool afro hair. Those are the two dominant hands on the earth. We dead again. "His head and his hairs were white like wool." Wool is the operative word. You want to pull out of there, go ahead. "As white as snow." And it was fully white. "And his eyes were as a flame of fire." His eyes were as a flame of fire. Because according to Genesis 49 verse 12, "his eyes shall be red with wine." Everybody got that? Write that down. Y'all should know that one already. Go ahead. "And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace." So now, I did this thing on one of the shoutouts. I got some brass right here, my little bracelet. It's made out of brass. Yeah. Hold on. Emma, I don't, I don't know. Let me burn you. I'm gonna do it right here. Now, people got burned in the furnace. Doesn't mean it was black. Let's see. Can you zoom in, cameraman? Pay attention, cameraman. Each other. Pay attention on each other. Zoom in. I'm burning brass. That thing better burn. I'll be mad as hell if it don't. Remember, we go lighter here. To hell where's around? What is torch? That's some damn Satan, damn devil, is the fan ball my fire. Let me go on to the table. Now, they're gonna think, now if I do under the table, they're gonna think I did something to it. Okay. Here, come here. Can y'all assume in? Can y'all just zoom in? Yeah. Can y'all see it? I'm as I turn it just a little bit so they could see. Okay. I'll see it burn in just a little bit. Okay. All right. I know the fire's kind of weak there, but it's burned in a furnace. All right. That's a weak fire. Huh? Oh, boy. It's getting burned right here. Do y'all see it getting blacker and blacker and blacker? Black like me. Black. You ain't that black. Amazon. And they're actually, you hope like, but not that black. Black like a lava black. Black like Captain O'Shea by black like with it, uh, what's his name? Uh, what's the brother here with the pinklet? Yuri black bag. Yuri black. Black like me. Black rider. There. Now I'm getting text messages. Everybody hate me. They mad. Isaac, you ain't that black. I thought. Be quiet. Brown. Can you know sick? All right. That's what I'm doing. You hold it up. Form right there. Right there. All right. Right there. All right. Okay. All praises to the Lord. Now, this little thing was weak as hell. I had a real fire, be like, "Whoa." No, that's a fire. So now, yeah, go back to where we sat. Verse 14. We going. I mean, I say, let me see what brothers texted me, man. Let me see. Your, we don't be texting me cuz you mad. Go ahead. All right. Oh, and it says Riverdale Lighters. See that? See what they said? My trial and Riverdale Lighters. You can't win him, right? Okay. So where we at? Revelation 1:15. 15. Okay. "And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace." So a furnace is a roaring fire. You burn that thing, it gets black, black. That's the evidence. That's the proof. Go ahead. "And his voice as the sound of many waters." And he spoke very loud. Christ spoke very. He didn't speak with a Joel Osteen voice. He didn't talk soft. Give me Daniel 10:5 and 6. You Daniel chapter 10 and verse 5. "Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz." Golden girdle. "His body also was like the barrel." And his face as not a barrel means green. It's the same description we read in Revelation 1. Go ahead. "And his face as the appearance of lightning." He had a glow on his face. Go ahead. "Of power." Go ahead. "And his eyes as lamps of fire." Genesis 49 verse 12. He drink wine. His eyes shall be red with wine. Go ahead. "His arms and his feet." Arms and his feet like in color to polish brass. Polish brass. Woodwinds brass burned in a furnace. Polished brass means brass burned in a furnace. That's what that meaning. He was black. That's what that means. We, I mean. Go back now. Revelation 1. Revelation chapter 1, verse 15. "And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace." "And his voice as the sound of many waters." Read. "And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shining in his strength." So that's what a member of Revell, Daniel would just read. He said, "In his face was like the appearance of lightning." When that part here, which says, "And his countenance was as the sun shining in his strength." He had a glow about him. Not a two-edged sword. Give me that. Hebrews 4:12. The two-edged sword that John saw. Hebrews chapter 4 and verse 12. "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword." So when John saw the two-edged sword come out of his mouth, he's making a reference to the scriptures, the laws of God. Go ahead. "Piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit." That's why when we teach brothers, when we teach sisters, we must use the words of God. Use the words in the Bible. God is telling you, you might think his words don't have no effect, but whoever hears his word, he said, is cutting them like a two-edged sword. Deport again. "Piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit." God says his word does damage. You get these [ __ ] the second when he walked by, I, you're full of crap. The Bible's darbins. Just use one word. Esau. You know what they're gonna do? They're gonna look it up. Esau is a devout believer in research. You don't go to a demise house and ain't got no books, or they got books, they're gonna research. They got dictionaries too, and they pride their children on knowing everything. You ever walk into a store, you see blacks and whites, you have a shirt that says something. The only one that pays attention to your shirt is guess who? Esau. He's looking at this shirt. He's reading it. If he got, as he got a phone, at Google in it, that's what they do. So read that again. Solomon. "Piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." That's when, when you make judgments, use descriptions, bring out the laws of God. Okay. Bring the laws of God. That's gonna cut people. Okay. Reap. Was that it? Yes, sir.
So let's go on back. Revelation chapter 1 and verse 15. "And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace." "And his voice as the sound of many waters." Read. "And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the Sun shining in his strength." You know, I didn't explain his seven stars because he explains it further down. So that's why we're gonna just keep reading. "Great. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead." You'll see that. He said, "When I saw Christ, I fell at his feet like dead." Cuz remember, he saw Christ die, resurrect, and then he saw him ascend. That was the last time he saw Christ. That was 63 years ago. Now he sees him in glory. Go ahead. "And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last." I am the first. We discussed that. And what it says he's the last. That's what it means. The first from the first Adam to the last Adam. Paul explains that in 1st Corinthians 15, but that's for another lesson because that's gonna take a while. Go ahead. "I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." He said, "I have the keys of hell and of death." That's a heavy statement right there. "And have the keys of hell and of death." Give me that in Matthew 16:19. Matthew 2:16. Matthew verse dawn 16, verse 19. Go ahead. Matthew chapter 16, verse 19. "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Now, people read that and get confused. What does that mean? Look at John 20:23. John 20, verse 23. If I'm not mistaken, explains exactly what that means. John chapter 20 and verse 23. He's not a 22, 22. "And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: Whosesoever sins ye remit—meaning forgive—whosesoever sins you forgive, they are remitted unto them, they are forgiven unto them." Watch this. "And whosesoever sins ye retain—whoever sins you don't forgive, they are retained, they will be held accountable." Now, that's some heavy power, idea. That's what they're in Revelation said he has the keys of hell and death. Meaning what? Their sins are retained. You have brothers and sisters like, "Oh, no, I'm good. I'll forget. Oh, oh, you think you are. I'm talking when you do sins against brothers or sisters in the body like that, that are brood, that ran up out of here doing, or let me tell you something, all your sins are retained. All of them. Because in order to get forgiveness, who must they first go to? You got to go to your brothers. They have not done that. All their sins are retained. From Wiesel, Ill, Uzziah, the black hacker, Matt Thomas, the monster, whatever to freak their names are all. Even the women that follow behind them, all their sins are retained. You can put that in your pipe and smoke it. And don't blame Deacon A said, you can blame me. Read again, verse 23. Verse 23. "Whosoever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them: and whosoever sins ye retain, they are retained." See, you rethink. "Oh, no, no, no, no. I don't believe that. I've never taught that in Sunday school." Your Sunday school is garbage. Your Sunday school couldn't have the Spirit of God. Your Sunday school couldn't have the Holy Ghost. Your Sunday school was made of the devil. The Bible speaks of that. That's why I didn't understand this. Now go back to Matthew 16 and 19. Matthew chapter 6. He's gonna do evil and get away with it. Oh, you're not getting away. Read that in verse. They will enjoy with the oppressor against the sons and daughters of God Almighty and think your sins of—oh, no. You better ask Judas Iscariot about that thing. Read that. "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth—whatsoever you shall bind on earth, meaning whatever sins is returned. What is the word in John? We remitted or retained. Go ahead. "Shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth—meaning remitted. Go ahead. "Shall be loosed in heaven." Meaning forgiven or not forgiven. That's the power Christ gave to the leadership. And that's what people read there. And whether you accept it or not, or believe it or not, it is what it is. Got to pertain to somebody who is whose goes that there's a TD Jakes, is a Creflo, is it Juanita Bynum? Gotta be somebody in the Israelite community. Okay. From there, let's go on back. I know y'all nervous now. Good. You need to be nervous. Go back to what verse was that? Verse 18. Every Revelation 3:7. Revelation chapter 3 and verse 7. You think. Go ahead. I'm sorry. "And to the angel of the church of Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David." Here comes he. "Here opens he that opens and no man shall no man can shut and shutteth and shutteth and no man open it." And saying the same thing that he gave to the apostles, the leadership in Matthew 16:19. And what we read in Revelation chapter 1, verse 18. Read 1:18 again. "I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." For those whose sins are retained. I'ma say it again. The keys of hell and death are for those whose sins are retained. You did much evil. Your sins were not forgiven because you did not take the proper biblical steps to seek mercy or forgiveness. You didn't do that thing with Sam. As I good. Yeah. Then you're gonna be on Facebook acting all holy, holier than down, and right. That's garbage. Exams garbage. You're supposed to go to your brother and ask for forgiveness, confess your sins to your brother and the evil that you did. And let me give you a secret. If you do evil to your brother publicly, how much they repent publicly? So can you know what brothers and sisters do? They do evil to you publicly. Dinner on a side, oh, your brother, or they call you on the phone. You know how to everything. "I'm sorry." No, no, no, no, no, no. That's not how it works. If you did it in private, you can record repent in private. But if you did it publicly, then you go repent publicly. And guess what? Their pride will not allow them to do that. That's why these sins will be retained. Every last one of them. Let me do it with my right hand. Every last one of these sins are retained.
Now back to Revelation chapter 1, and we are in verse. Good. I hope it does hurt. Now do a video on that. Revelation 1, we're verse 19. Verse 19. "Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches." See, that's why back in verse 16, I didn't explain. Twist says, "And he had in his right hand seven stars." He's explaining in verse 20. We did again. "The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches; and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches." So notice this. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches. So now, these letters that we're about to read in the coming weeks, they're not written to Michael, Gabriel, and Uriel. You cannot write a letter. We're gonna email it to them. It's not talking about that. It's talking about the leadership over those churches. Now, the word angel might confuse some of you. The word angel simply means messengers. Here's the proof. Gemma, Galatians 4:14. We're gonna explain the angels of the churches. Write this down. The explanation of the angels over the churches, over the seven churches. Galatians 4:14. Let's start there. Galatians chapter 4, verse 14. "And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus." You see what Paul said about the Galatians? They received him as an angel of God. Next precept. 1st Corinthians 6 and 3. First Corinthians chapter 6 and verse 3. "Know ye not that we shall judge angels?" Now you read that and go, "Oh, we're gonna be telling Michael and Gabriel what to do." Listen, you ain't telling Michael and Gabriel, Uriel, Raphael, none of them archangels nothing to do. You ain't telling them nothing. What that's talking about? Give me the precept. Matthew 19:28. Where it says we shall judge angels. We just read it in Revelation 20 and 4. I'm not mistaken. Read Matthew 19:28. Didn't read Revelation 20 and 4. Once again. Matthew chapter 19, verse 20. Explaining what it means by judging angels. "And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." See that? Judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Someone who says, "Know ye not that we shall judge angels?" is talking about the 12 tribes of Israel. It's not talking about Michael and Gabriel and Uriel and Raphael. It's not talking about them. Now, if I'm not, go back to Revelation 20 and 4. Thought we read that. I could be wrong. Let me just take a quick look. Revelation 20 and 4. I don't think we read this one. Yeah, everybody. No, no, he did. Chapter 20, verse 4. "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them." Judgment was given unto them. What type of judgment? Power to make judgments over who? The twelve tribes of Israel. Let's go back from there. Give me 2 Samuel chapter 14, verse 17. We're still explaining about, "Write these letters to the seven angels over the seven churches." We're explaining, "Know ye not that the saints shall judge the angels?" Read that. You said verse seven or seven. Second Samuel 14, verse 17. Verse 2 Samuel 14, verse 17. "Then said thine handmaid, The word of my lord the king shall now be comfortable: for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king." See that? What she said about him? That you're like an angel of the Lord, an angel of God. From there, give me 1 Samuel 29:9. We're still explaining the term angels is referenced to men on earth as well. You got to, when you read it, read it in context. First Samuel 29, verse 9. "And Achish answered and said to David, I know that they are good in my sight as an angel of God." As an angel of God. Now give me 1 Corinthians 11:10. This is another verse that trips brothers up. I'll be seeing y'all on the street and up over this verse. Some y'all just skip it. First Corinthians chapter 11 and verse 10. "For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels." For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. Now, who in your Bible got a number next to the word power? Anybody? You got a Solomon. Read what it says. It says that is a covering. And the sight that she is under the power of her husband. So that's what it means. My power. So we diverse again. First Corinthians 11 and verse 10. "For this cause ought the woman to have power and power to cover her head in obedience." Go ahead. "On her head." That's what it means. Power on her head means power to cover her head obediently. Because of the angel. Because of her husband and the leadership and the men. Cuz ain't is going into men. Because the question might be, what if she doesn't have a husband? What if her father died? Then guess what? That's what the men of Israel comes in. This is why I remember who's the one that covered herself when she saw Isaac. Tom Rebecca. She asked the servant. She said, "Who's this young man?" He said, "That's my master, Isaac." And what did she do? She covered her head. Maybe she had already left her father for miles. She wasn't married, but she did what? Covered her head. Why? Because of the angels. What did the angels making reference to? Men on earth. That's what she did. Israelite man. Does everybody understand that? So with that, we're going to close out. And I pray you got some understanding from today's lesson. Is that fair to say? All praises to the Lord. Also, how many of you are going to take two officers? Do y'all do you say we're gonna take two officers of 50 tests? Who took it already? Okay. We're gonna void the officers of 50 tests from now on. Because let me tell you what happened. Some nice brothers in New York and Philadelphia and Jersey decided to cheat. What the officers of 50 tests and disseminated the answers throughout Israel. This is why the white man will give black people no positions of authority in their companies because Negroes ain't right. And you let me explain the danger behind it. Sisters, y'all gonna know what I'm talking about when I say this thing. This is why brothers say they, some of you brothers knew your whiz. New York. Camera. Where's the camera? From New York? Right there. New York. You know I'm talking about. Somebody I got the answer to the officers of 50 tests already. So we're gonna change it up on you. That ain't gonna be the test. You know, and I'll tell you the reason. The ones who have taken it that we know about, you're going to be demoted. Yes, you are. Yes. Who is your gonna be demoted? Cuz you ain't right. Let me take a danger behind that. We think because the oldest of 50 test deals with judgments, marital, brotherly, civil, ceremony, we deal with judgments on that test. Imagine we have got an office of 50. Now we assume you took the exam. You know exactly how to judge, manage. You know right from wrong. Now you're judging issues with a married couple, but you didn't pass the test based on your understanding. You cheated and wrote A, B, C, D, E, F, G. Now you're sitting there like you got brothers sitting over here in Atlanta or Riverdale. I'll be sinner. I'll watch y'all council people. Now imagine if that brother cheated on his exams.

And you can't make this stuff up. Let us blow too big so we can all see. All gatherings of more than 100 people in North Carolina banned by Governor Roy Cooper. Says so that. And guess what? That, that in that messes with the Passover. So what we're going to have to do as of right now is every school is going to have to keep their Passover. That's not something I would love to go there, but, you know, they'll shut us down and maybe arrest all of us. And but we're gonna keep the concert and a fashion show next month. The same time of Passover. But, you know, scripture said you could keep it the next month. So what we're gonna do is have those of us can keep it coming week. Each school do it. But next month, we're gonna have the concert and the fashion show. Whatever black Wall Street. We're gonna have all of that next month at the hotel. Low as well. Lows well. I'm gonna work out the details with Officer Nacho Maya and the Deacons later. Later on this evening. So everybody just stand by. So as of right now, the Passover will be kept each school individually. And next month, we'll have the Fashion Show, Passover, and Black Wall Street in April. Okay. Lord, after the ban is after the ban has lifted. Everybody understand it? All right. So the garments are still coming. So don't worry about that. Gone was still good. All right. So I got Amaziah.

Is it a music video? Okay. Go ahead. Play. I gotta say the white man's a damn devil. Damn the devil. A hell. I was looking forward to meeting everybody. I'm gonna have to do it next month at the concert. No, because if we wait to do the Passover next month, what if they extend it? Then we really messed up. So let's just keep it when the Lord said keep it. And then do the concert and all that we should do. The Apollo, whatever. Go and perform. Bad. We just boot you and pull off the stage. That would be some funny stuff. Y'all won't like it though. Yes, we ready. [Music] The whole world replicated the matrix on their actions as praxis. That gives my better ratio.
