Understanding the Times, Part 3

Greetings friend to new listeners. Welcome to the sound of faith.

Sharon not thanking you for joining us today because we know Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

I'm very zealous to bring today's message. Understanding the time on the surface. There are many things transpiring in our world today that defy human decency logic and even sensibility, and at the same time, many Christians are witnessing the rapid fulfillment of Bible prophecy while others appear to be uninformed or apathetic in this detailed teaching. We will travel from the time of Noah to Daniel and the first coming of Jesus the Messiah 4000 years of human history to this season of the rapidly approaching second coming of our Lord and the signs we are to look for in understanding the times there's another thing we just read that will not release Jesus to return until the rest all is verse 21. Waiting for Jesus to come but is not going to be released. God is not going to say Jesus telling people until the restitution of all things. There are a lot of things you could read Matthew 24.

As I said, Mark 13, and Luke 21 but there I want to just give you some tidbits. Time is moving along exponentially. We understood that technological technologically.

We understand that, but now we're going to see in the spirit time is going faster.

This second copies when you get billed much quicker than the first, the 1st cup took 4000 years to fill this second copies. 2000 years. And Jesus is at the door. Amen God's time clock is the nation of Israel. You cannot watch the news or read the newspaper without there being many articles in there about what is going on with Israel. Amen. And God said that we are in the time of the Gentiles. When God began to open the door through apostle Paul and others that you Gentiles were saved and now were in the time of the Gentiles and for the most part the Jewish people are blind you can read the ninth chapter 10 chapter 11 chapters of Romans you find out. He says there blind. They did not they missed it. We saw they missed the second coming of Jesus and said they did not receive their Messiah. So now the blind receive their Messiah, but the day is coming when the scale will fall from their eyes, and things are now beginning to go exponentially as God deals with Israel. You know, technically the United States is not in the Bible, we cannot get this mindset that the prophecy is dependent on what happens in America.fulfillment of prophecy is does not dependent on what we do in America don't do in America. The linchpin that everything is nation of Israel. Amen.

And so when Jesus was sitting there looking at the great Temple.

It was one of the wonders of the world the temple that Herod built and he told the disciples he said the day is coming.

There will not be one stone left on another and we talked about Wednesday night about how they built the temple out of those huge stones. They won't be. Even in one stone left upon another and do you know it was not many years after Jesus was resurrected in the year 70 A.D. and blood will say Jesus around the resurrected around the three day date will just use that. But 70 A.D. the Roman Gen. Titus marched into Jerusalem and he burned the temple and the reason why he burned the temple is because even though it was made out of cedar planks.

It was, the walls were copper all the outside was the stone inside was cedar paneling and overtime goal set the temple on your goal would mount off the walls and they could come and steal the gold out of God's temple and so from that point, knowing the year 70 a year. 70 when Titus marched in Jerusalem and burn down the temple timeclock's race and now amen and the Jews were scattered all over in the day they went so far they went so far that today there are some trauma there's a tribe in China that are Jewish and south Africa. There are men and women there that are Jewish. There doing all of the Jewish Jewish religious protocol. They went everywhere on the face of the earth. Amen.

Not not on this side of not on the Western hamster wasn't discovered yet. Were talking about. After Titus came in and destroyed the temple.

Here's another little tidbit. It's very, very, very, very important inside the temple was a place where they recorded the "who begat who is one begat wanted.

It was the genealogical records were kept in the temple and they were very, very important and they were destroyed. So what does that mean that means all those people have no record of their tribe that were born later. There's no proof of their tribe. There's no record of what tribe they came from. It was Bert. Why does that matter. It matters because there is no Messiah that could come after that. Nobody could come after the year 70 A.D. insight on the Bible talking about because the genealogical records are going and he's got a come from the tribe of Judah, so that's just another little thing to prove that Jesus fulfilled the Scriptures so now they had destroyed the temple destroyed the city and the Bible says that it was trodden under by the Gentiles. He came in there and they just trotted Jerusalem underfoot and God said Jesus actually said it. He said there's going to come a time. Amen when all of that will be restored and Jerusalem will once again be in the hands of the Jewish people, but it took to thousand years. On June 6, 1967 maybe audit back up getting the nation 1940 is 1948, 1948 Israel became a nation for the first time in 2000 years. They became a nation because the league of Nations, which is today the United Nations voted and said these Jews. That, of which 6 million work in the past and the gas chambers object of Hitler. They need a homeland. They need a place and the nations voted to give them the land of Israel. So in 1948 Israel was a nation in 1967 June 6, 1967 we had the famous play war games six, nine, God, for in six days God created the heavens and the earth and the flowers and the trees and the birds in the base and the shed.

The best thing of all he created man in his image and in his likeness.

So six days very, very significant with God's mind by great armies of all Muslim nations around them link back to their enemies.

God said Jerusalem is mine, I will put my name will be and what is not me what my feet will be if you read anything about making somebody your footstool. It means you have authority over them. He said that's where my feet will be.

Amen. And so exponentially. The timeclock is racing ahead we come to our day. All right, they got Jerusalem back in 1967 and then there was another war in 1973 and this time was called the Yom Kippur war. All what cowards the devil is he such a coward. It was on the Sabbath day when all the Jewish soldiers were in the synagogues with their prayer shawls on the Sabbath day and those nations around them. Syria, Egypt, Jordan, all of them conspired and they waited till the day of Yom Kippur which this was a holy day, the holiest day of all the day of atonement when they would be repenting of their sins and they attacked Israel but a coward. Think cowardly thing to do. Amen attack them when they knew that all the soldiers knew that they had, we would say went to church and you know they took Israel by surprise. They took them off guard and they began to run over Israel, and it looked like that they were going to lose and it looked like they were going to be defeated.

Amen. But sitting in the White House.

You know he's known for some other things more famous than this, but God works all things together for good. Sitting in the White House was president Richard Nixon. We all know he resigned in disgrace but you know he was raised by his mother who was a Quaker and if you know anything about Quakers.

They love the word of God there very very serious and very conservative and I mean that they take the word of God literally and from a little boy. His mom had instilled in him the love for Israel just making up. She taught about is when he loved Israel and his mother even said to him, you never know that one day you may be in a position to do something great to help Israel of mathematical chills when I said that not I tell you I'm sweating I'm sweating in this jacket that I just got cold chills went right up my back one day you may be able to do something great for Israel and well you grew up in. He won a lead.

He lost a lot of elections, but he persevered.

He just would try one for something else, one for something else and he finally made to the present.

After that on Yom Kippur when they had attacked Israel, and Israel was floundering in Israel was losing their Prime Minister was an elderly woman named Golda my year she called Richard Nixon will not hot line that leaders have one for another. She got on the phone and she says if you don't do something to help us. Nobody else will help us and if you don't do something to help us they're going to defeat us. You know, Richard Nixon remembered what his mother told him and he realized that was a prophecy. And here I am with the power and the authority to see it come to pass, and he sent war planes and ammunition know all the things that eight he just sent everything to them that they needed and it rebounded. Not only did they manage to defeat the enemy but they went the spoils of war and beat him back and took the Sinai. All the eject the West Bank of Julliard in and talk the northern part of the birth of Lebanon, amen and Syria and people say today there's no need to stop occupying the land and other Army charts and they were defeated because they work. Prepare course.

It was a lesson doing. I'm sure they learned some things about being prepared. After that you can't trust your enemy.

You think he's going to have some bullets were gentlemen, we are gentlemen we don't attack one another.

When were insured you attack me when I go to church.

I was not doing either doesn't work that way.

That's when the devil will attack amen was looking for a time you got to be prepare and so God delivered them and they took all that territory and there have been many that testify that they saw all the men that were flying the aircraft see angels come up alongside of them angels come up alongside them and you maybe even heard reports that even now when those missiles conduct a full and Israel. What they sometimes they shoot them down. A lot of times they shoot them down with what they had that antimissile thing but sometimes they don't and it was reported that even some of the PLO and the Hamas know them are saying that there God redirects the missiles because Israel is God's time, here's very very powerful verses that we are living in right now, my God, are we living in the center only gonna become more so. Not Zachariah the 12th chapter and to verses behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling under all the people round about when they shall be in the siege, both against Judah and against Jerusalem, and in that day I will make Jerusalem a burden for all people all burden themselves with. It shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

I wish some of these people ever Washington would read the Scriptures, God came and he said are going to be cut into pieces.

Even though I hope that doesn't include the United States.

I hope that's just a figure of speech meaning. The majority even though the whole earth gathered together against it.

Amen God is saying that I am going to make Jerusalem and it's coming more and more a burden stone to everyone that rises up against. Amen the cockle time is ready to overflow Saints were this close Jesus said in Matthew 24 verse 42 and 44 but of that day and that our know with no man, not the angels of heaven, but my father only there for an array for you know not what hour your Lord does come, but none have known in what watch the thief would come and would not have to be broken more so ready as you think the Son of Man cometh. Has anybody here ever had your house broken into anybody.

Burglarize with Allied hands, but few people well I'm just curious, did and it is there anyone here that can say that you got a email or postcard or something from the thief County when he was coming when he would be there. Nobody know Dave is not going to tell you when is common backdating there tell you that is coming at Nice guys going to tell us that Jesus is, and all these things are going to be fulfilled. Amen. And he said they are going to be fulfilled in their time. And here's a powerful verse in Isaiah 8 and verse three I have declared the former things from the beginning and they went forth out of my mouth and I show them and I did them and I did them what suddenly and they shall come to pass saints. You have got to be read. You have got to be ready because we see the signs right now over there. What we see what's going on with Israel right now and God said I the former things I have spoken I brought them in the past and I did them.

Suddenly he said that I will hasten my dwelling here but when the whole thing just skills up and runs over just like that.

Amen. When God does it suddenly for some people it's going to be too late.

And when we read in the book of the book of Revelation, we see over and over again that God sends forth his angels, and they had cops in their hands and their feel with the wrath of God. Amen. And you know a time is coming that we read that he said is going to be a time when the earth it's never been a time like her in the history of mankind. A time is coming on this earth and St. Kitts not too far away and in fact turned back to Daniel. Daniel a look at verse 19 and he said, behold, I will make you know what shall be in the last on end of the indignation for at the time appointed the end shall be. Do you know the book of Daniel, there is at least five times that it says the time appointed means diagnose a particular time. It's not what will we see what happens.

It will figured out as we go along now and so now it's already written… Read he hasn't revealed to us, but it's already declared time appointed drop-down verse 23 and in the latter time of their kingdom.

When the transgressors are calm to the fold. A king of fierce finance and understanding dark sentences, shall stand all who is the king with the fierce countenance the antichrist at the time appointed at the end of time and prices going up, stand up and when he God. God's cup overflow and empty out. Amen. So saints, we have got to be diligent and we've got to get out there and warn people and let them know and you know don't get frustrated and don't get upset when people don't receive the truth and receive the gospel. He said the wicked will do wickedly. But the wise will understand and you got to sow the seed and believe that God will allow you to get on that fertile ground of that fertile heart that is ready to receive the truth. Amen.

That is ready to know people. Many people do you think you know about these things.

They read the paper and I'll see there's a thousand is all going to children and they say they need that they need to go in there and do something about Israel and they're trying to get our president to withhold military help and try to get them to withhold all the that the money in the military things that we give them banking for Palestinians.

You need to understand that this is part of what the word of God tells us anybody who does not stand with Israel and anybody that against Israel is going to incur the wrath of God.

Amen. What nation do you know that when the written or and they're getting paid to bombing area first makes phone calls and leaflets, despite the millions you've got to get out of here were getting ready to bomb you know anybody else that does not. That's what Israel does. Amen. They don't want to kill civilians. They don't want to kill little kids. But when Hamas is shooting at them from civilians houses in schools and hospitals and has approved that they've already put some of it out that you can see you shelter out of their name on the UN shelter because they were inside their shoe does not like killing the firing coming there because they they know that Israel doesn't want to kill innocent civilians and children because they are going to incur the world and the wrath of United Nations happen so when their own children by not talking about these not talk about the average Palestinian lives and lives thereon.

Talk about these radicals, they don't care if some kids get killed. They don't care some people get killed because they know it stirs up anger against Israel.

And that's what they want they want on the work on Israel.

Israel and say a person doing things and you know what it's working it's working until the Bible says, the day will come when the whole earth the whole earth was stand against Israel. What a day that is going to be when Israel is going to be all alone a country that's the size of New Jersey. Even now verse 22 Arab nations that surrounded Israel and they've gotten asked square miles of land. Hundreds of thousands of hundreds of thousands square miles of the brand individuals beside the New Jersey Landon give it to their their people come here will give you start a beautiful country. But the fact is, is whenever Israel has pulled away and given back for peace. You can have this back going to give you as they used to be at girls along the Mediterranean give it back to you.

You can have it and what happens all the things that Israel left behind. Whether it was farms, orchards, or important things. They destroyed it. Amen Arab inside of Israel.

They live better off than the others around them because Israel wants them to have jobs once them to work. Amen.

But you see, you gotta understand.

Behind it all is that serpent in the garden, that serpent in the darkness behind it all, and that spirit of antichrist. As I preached about Wednesday that that was began with Nimrod is in the land today, but you can be sure. Just as we read of how God fought for Israel in the Old Testament just as we read how that one time when David and the armies were surrounded by the Philistines and they had David prayed and said God, what shall we do, what shall we do Charlotte we go forth and God said to go forth, so they went forth, and they were able to slay a lot of the enemy, but then the enemy came against him again and being wise if it didn't assume what will do thing again and he went back to God. God, what shall we do, shall we go forth against them. God said no go forth against him. This time circle around and come up behind them come up behind them and then when you hear rustling the top of the trees when you can hear rustling in the top of the mulberry trees.

That's when you shout and go forth with what they did a wet and behind the troops and how to mourn in their back and then when they heard the rustling of the mulberry trees Israel rose up to attack them.

But the Bible says that God sent Ms. and Boschman mean I think it means Angel washes Angel washes because the guys teach that the rustling on the mulberry trees was the feet of the Angels. When God made you that God is still doing the amen so saints, the clock is going fast in the cup is running over and we are now borrowed time need to be about our business.

Amen we need to be so be vigilant. He said not only play, watch and play. Because you don't know the date yet, but thank God we know. Because you see the. The sound of the second coming of Jesus Christ are everywhere. Let's make the second coming, like Christmas, the signs of the second coming are everywhere people we get the Christmas we got to get to Thanksgiving people we get to the second coming. We gotta get to the rapture the rapture comes before the second coming will understand what I'm saying and that's a condition be revealed. That's when the tribulations going to be poured out but he said there's something that selecting old English word for preventing stopping keeping him from being revealed.

What is it me, it's you and your because when God the son of perdition, that wicked one is going to be revealed that wicked one.

That one whose number is 6660. We are in windup time. The signs are all around us. For the second coming of Jesus Christ and the second at the signs for the second coming are that numerous. That obvious plentiful how much sooner is the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, because when Paul wrote about Thessaloniki that I beat, I beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering to him because of the rapture is coming to gather us to in the second coming is like you said he'll be coming back him the Antichrist and his armies and the devil in the pit.

Aren't you glad to say this morning. Amen. What a revelatory overview of the biblically significant day. We are in. When understanding the times is of paramount concern for Christians who desire to be informed and relevant in these prophetic end times.

Jesus rebuked the religious leaders of his day saying you can discern the face of the sky and even predict the weather but you cannot discern the signs of the times. Because of this they missed his coming.

Their long-awaited Messiah.

Although he had fulfilled over 300 prophecies that foretold his coming. Scripture declares when the fullness of time had come, God sent his son that entailed 4000 years of human history and the very calendar was changed to A.D. in the year of our Lord Scripture further tells us that the heavens will not release Jesus to return until the times of restitution, of all things. Now this began on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was poured out, and it is rapidly approaching the climax when Jesus will return for his people. It will come suddenly and without notice as a thief in the night. But while we do not know the day nor the hour apostle Paul said that we are not ignorant of the season, God gave the prophet Daniel a panoramic view of human time from his day to the future tribulation and reign of the Antichrist.

He was told to seal up the book until the time of the end when knowledge shall increase and many shall be purified and made white and tried but the wicked shall do wickedly. But the wise shall understand they will be like the tribe of Issachar who understood the times and knew what Israel ought to do saints if we ever needed those who understand the times and know what the church ought to do and this nation.
