Speaker 1:So come on, let's help the Holy Ghost, get this word out and this revelation out and see what the Spirit of the Lord has to say. You know we've been talking about the Russian-Ukraine war and what's been happening in regards to that. There's a violent push being given towards the end times. We need to continue to keep on praying for what's happening there with President Trump, president Zelensky and President Putin, because things are happening. Ladies and gentlemen, there are things that are transpiring right now, right before our eyes, and if you understand the scriptures, you will recognize that God is doing something in the earth and we need to pray.
Speaker 1:And if this war continues to happen, it could be the possibility that we're going to begin to see the Gog of Magog war. We're going to begin to see all the different nations that are surrounding Israel come to battle against them. No, this isn't Armageddon. That's a different war, but this is a war. It's kind of like a preemptive war, if you will, where they're going to try to bring everybody together and when that fails, they're going to bring Armageddon, where all the nations of the earth are going to come together to fight against Israel. And what's amazing about it, that's when you and I those of us that have been caught up to meet the Lord in the rapture. He's going to slap that lean long Galilean leg over that white stallion you and I. He's going to say, jay and whoever's watching right now, hop on your stallion, we're coming in and we are going to come down, and God is going to annihilate Satan. He's going to annihilate him. Listen, no matter how much Satan is doing in the earth, god is in full control and in full reign. During those seven years, though, he is definitely going to allow Satan to have full power. He's going to have full power during that time, and so it's very, very important that we understand that.
Speaker 1:Let's go over to the book of Daniel, chapter number nine. Daniel, chapter number nine. Let's go there real quickly and let's see what the spirit of the Lord has to say to that. I hope that you're excited to see what God is saying. Daniel, chapter number nine let's go there, and we are going to look here in verse number 20.
Speaker 1:Now I talked to you about the 70 weeks. A lot of people don't understand about the 70 weeks here, but we want to take a look at this. This is Daniel's revelation of 70 weeks. Now, remember the 70 weeks are weeks of years, so what it is for. Every time it mentions a week it's symbolic of seven years, so a day is as a year. In this passage of scripture, you have 70 weeks. You've got 490 years, because every day that's where it's 70 times seven, that'll be 490 years.
Speaker 1:Okay, so now, while I was speaking, praying and confessing my sin and the sin of my people, israel, and presenting my supplication for the Lord, my God, for the holy mountain of God, yes, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly, swiftly reached me about the time of the evening, offering. He informed me and talked to me and said oh Daniel, I have now come forth to give you skill and understanding At the beginning of your supplications. Isn't that amazing? Look at verse 22 again. I think that's really important. I have come now to give you skill to understand. Thank God for that.
Speaker 1:Listen, as we move towards the end, we need to understand. God does not want us in the dark concerning the things that are coming at the end times. He wants us to be aware of what is transpiring. It's not like it's supposed to be taking us by surprise. We are supposed to know, ladies and gentlemen, what it is that the Spirit of the Lord is saying and what he's doing. God wants you to be abreast of what is happening in the earth, so it's not supposed to take us by surprise. It's not like it's going to come upon us as if we don't know. As a matter of fact, there's a scripture here. I'm gonna see if I can find it real fast and keep there in Daniel, because that's going to be important. We're going to get to that in just a second. But just God has really spoken to my heart that it's very, very important that that we, that we understand the scripture in this day and in this hour. We need to understand these things. It's very, very, very important.
Speaker 1:Look at this here in 1 Thessalonians 5. And I just want to read this to you Keep there in Daniel. But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves know Now. Watch this perfectly Now. Look at verse one. You don't need that I should write to you.
Speaker 1:You know perfectly that the day of the Lord still comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, speaking of the world, peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them as labor pains upon a pregnant woman, and they shall not escape. Now look at this. Now we think the thief night. He's going to come as a thief in the night for the church. Think about that. He's not coming as a thief in the night for the church, he's coming as a thief in the night for the world. Now watch what I mean when I say this. But you, brethren, are not in darkness so that this day should overtake you as a thief. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep as others do. That's why God has spoken to me very prophetically Keep oil in your lamps, watch this Love in your heart, sin and leaven out of your life.
Speaker 1:I believe part of my call for the end times is to prepare the church for the return of Jesus Christ. We are the only generation that is preparing for an evacuation called the rapture and not a habitation. We're not looking for God to show up, just to dwell here and to be here, and when revival breaks out, that's all fine and dandy. But while that's taking place, we should not lose sight that we are in the end of the end times and the rapture is getting ready to come, and we need to be ready, and that's why we need to keep oil in our lamps, so then it doesn't become night to us. When night is happening, we are still illuminated, we have revelation, we understand what's going on, we are not overtaken as a thief in the night, and that's why, loving our hearts because if you've got oil in your lamp, it's also going to give off heat you can heat with oil and you can also bring illumination with oil God wants you to be aware of what the spirit of the Lord is saying. This is why I'm bringing this to you.
Speaker 1:But you, brethren verse four are not in darkness, so that this day should overtake you as a thief. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep sleep at night and those who get drunk get drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith, love and, as a helmet, the hope of salvation, for God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us. That, whether we are awake or alive, or asleep or dead. We should live together, therefore, comfort each other and edify one another, just as you are doing. That's why I'm doing this right now to bring you comfort and edification.
Speaker 1:The purpose of Gog, of Magog and you understand that is not so. Then you get scared that we're gonna go to war and all of that it's to let you know God wants you to know what he's about to do in the earth. The Bible says God will do nothing lest he first reveal it to his servants, the prophets. So this is a prophetic channel that you're listening to right now. This is a prophetic channel that you're watching, and I want you to tune in as much as possible so you can know what God is saying. And look here, daniel, chapter nine. He said I'm going to give you skill to understand. I'm going to give you the ability. You're not walking in the dark. Think about it. He said he's going to come as a thief in the night. For those that aren't believers, we need to be expecting that's a great getting up morning for us. That is God resurrecting the rapture. Ladies and gentlemen, is something we should be excited about.
Speaker 1:The Bible says that we need to comfort one another, that the Lord himself will descend with a shout, with the voice of the trumpet, and the angel and the ark of God, and that we which are, look at this here. Let me go there and see if I can find it real quick. I thought that was in 1 Thessalonians 5 too, but my goodness, this is just so powerful. Let me see if I can find it real quickly. Let's look here. This is so good. This is the stuff that we need to be encouraged about, y'all.
Speaker 1:We need to understand 1 Thessalonians, chapter number four. Look at this here, my good God almighty, verse number 13. But I don't want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others sorrow and have no hope. For if we believe that, look at this, for the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up. That's where we get the word rapture. Rapture isn't in the Bible. Shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus shall we always be with the Lord. Therefore, he says it now in chapter four and chapter five, comfort one another with these words In the midst of everything that's going on, god wants you to be comfortable, and what I mean by that.
Speaker 1:He wants you to have comfort, not comfortable in the ways of the flesh and the things of the world, but he wants you to know this isn't going to take you by surprise. We are going to know when it's getting close. We are going to know to prepare ourselves. That's part of my call and that's why you're watching right now and that's the reason why he told Daniel I'm going to give you skill to understand. I'm going to open your eyes. I'm going to let you see that when you're watching CNN and Fox News and Putin and Trump and Zelensky and every other thing, and President Xi and all the people over there in China and Taiwan and North Korea and South Korea, and all these different nations Taiwan and North Korea and South Korea and all these different nations, all these different over there in Iran, so many different places God said when you see these things, I'm going to show you what my will is, why you are not in the darkness, you are not children of the night, but you are one that knows what the spirit of the Lord is saying in this day and in this hour.
Speaker 1:We need to recognize this. So look here, verse number 23,. At the beginning of your supplications, the command went out and I've come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved. Oh, I need you to catch that you are greatly beloved man or woman of God. That's why God is going to let you know what the spirit of the Lord is saying. You are loved by the father. He loves you. You don't have anything to be afraid of. You don't have to worry. That's why I even read in 1 Thessalonians. He said there. He said we are not appointed under wrath, 1 Thessalonians, chapter five, but as children of God, we are called to obtain the eternal life. He's not calling us to be here during the antichrist year and even when all hell breaks loose on the earth, guess what's gonna happen? You and I are gonna be covered. You don't need to walk in fear. They said the word fear not happens 365 times all throughout the scriptures. For what purpose? So, then, we don't have to walk in fear, one for every day of the year. Hallelujah, even when Jesus was on the boat and he was on the water and disciples were told to go to the other side. They said Jesus came walking on the water and he said they cried out because they thought it was a spirit. And Jesus said fear not. Immediately he said fear not, you don't have anything to be afraid of. You don't have to worry, you don't have to be afraid. God has got you. And I don't know who's listening to this right now. You need to understand that you are greatly beloved. You understand that God loves you. God's not angry with you, god's not mad at you. Kick that lie to the curb. I don't care what you've done or what you're going through. Even if you made a mistake, say Father, forgive me, get up, repent, turn in the opposite direction, make a plan to work out and to do something different than you did before and keep it moving. In Jesus name, daniel, I'm going to give you skill because, as you saw my face, I come to tell you you are greatly beloved. Hallelujah, father. I thank you that we are greatly beloved. I thank you, father, god, that we are loved, that we are your children, that we are the sheep of your pasture. And he wants you to know. Jesus said from now on, I don't call you servants, but I call you friends. Why, he said a servant doesn't know what his master is doing, but you are friends. So all things that I've heard from the father I will make known to you. Come on somebody, hallelujah. God wants you to be aware of the prophetic forecast of what he is saying because you are loved. He wants you to be aware of the prophetic forecast of what he is saying because you are loved. So don't be afraid today, don't walk in fear today, but walk in his love. Now look at this. At the beginning of your supplication I'm reading it again the command went out and I've come to tell you because you are greatly beloved man that's so powerful right now. And I've come to talk to you today because I love you. I don't want you to be afraid. Hallelujah. Jesus said when he's getting ready to go away.
Speaker 1:In John, chapter 14,. He said, he said. He said in my father's house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you. He said don't be afraid, don't be troubled, let not your heart be troubled. Neither let it be afraid Because in my father's house are many mansions. If it were not, have told you. He said but now I'm going away to prepare a place for you that, where I am there, you may be. Also, he wanted to know that, even though I'm leaving, don't you be afraid, don't you understand? I'm going to let you know what's going on. I'm going to build a mansion for you and I'm going to come back for you so we can be together again. Just give it a little bit of time. So you got to understand. Jesus wants you to know what the father is up to. It is your.
Speaker 1:I love this passage where Jesus said it is the father's good pleasure to give to you the kingdom. Hallelujah. He wants you to be aware. I just felt that right now, my good God almighty, somebody needs to understand that You're greatly beloved. He said I've come to tell you because you're loved. You are loved. Do you understand that you are loved? Stop walking in fear and worry and doubt. Wait a minute. I Stop walking in fear and worry and doubt. Wait a minute. I love it.
Speaker 1:In Matthew, chapter six, I was talking to our men a couple of days ago. I said the Bible told me. He said consider the lilies in the field. They don't toil, they don't sow, they don't reap, they don't do anything, but your heavenly father takes care of them. He said consider the birds. They don't sow nor reap either, but God is even why he makes sure the birds have food. I was.
Speaker 1:I shared this testimony and I talked about how I was out. Actually, I was at Chipotle and I was there. I like to go there when I got to get something quick, but I want something where I can some chicken, maybe some brown rice, something like that have a little quick, pick me up and go. And uh, and I'm there and I saw these birds around and I saw food that people left behind. And the Lord said do you see that there, jay? He said I left that there for them. I'm taking care of them. What makes you think I won't take care of you or my people? He said I'm showing you the scriptures unfolding right before your very own eyes.
Speaker 1:And I thought about how people will leave food or crumbs will fall and birds come along, pick it up. God's like they got a meal now, things that didn't even know they dropped it or they left it there and couldn't, for whatever reason. Some kid dropped a sandwich. God's like I'm leaving that for somebody. He's taking care of his creation. And he said listen, if I'm doing that for them? How much more am I going to take care of you? O ye of little faith.
Speaker 1:Oh, good Almighty, help us today. Help us to realize that we're loved. Help us to realize that we're provided for. Help us to realize we don't need to be afraid. Help us to realize that you got us. Help us to realize you're our daddy. Help us to realize, father, that we have all of these things. Wow, this is so powerful right now. He said I've come to tell you because you are greatly beloved.
Speaker 1:Therefore, consider the matter and understand the vision 70 weeks or to be determined for your people, for your holy city, to finish transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity. This is what God is doing in these whole 70 weeks, to bring in everlasting righteousness. Now, remember, the 70 weeks is prophetic. Now watch this for Israel and for the Jewish people, not for you and I. I'm going to explain to that in just a second here. He said to finish transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting rights, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy. Know, therefore, and understand that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem. Now the 70 weeks started when the command went out to begin to rebuild the wall and that's where you can study Nehemiah and Ezra. During that time, after the period of captivity, the 70 years you know.
Speaker 1:People quote that scripture in Jeremiah 20, I believe it is verse 11. He said, for I know the thoughts and the plans that I have towards you, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you a hope and a future and an expected end. People quote that scripture no-transcript. You're not going to enjoy it, but I've got a great thought for you and I've got great hopes for you and I've got a great expected end for you. Manise you, he knows the thoughts and the plans that he has for you. I think a lot of people would take that scripture down and stop using it if they understood it. Not that it's bad, but we use it out of context. God always has great thoughts and plans for us, but in that passage there he's talking about them going into captivity. He knows the thoughts that he's going to have for them when they come out.
Speaker 1:And when they came out, nehemiah began to rebuild the wall.
Speaker 1:Ezra the scribe began to bring back the law. They began to repent and began to call out to God, and God began to rebuild Jerusalem, to restore and build Jerusalem. From that time this is what watch what happened the clock began for the 70 weeks. Okay, it says from the time that the commander restored and built Jerusalem, unto the command look at this here until the Messiah, the prince, there shall be seven weeks and 62 weeks, which is a total, ladies and gentlemen, of 60, I'm sorry, seven weeks and 62 weeks, which is a total, ladies and gentlemen, of 60,. I'm sorry, seven weeks and 62 weeks, 69 weeks. So, from the until the Messiah comes, there will be 69 weeks. So I don't have it right off the top of my head If you do 69 times, so I don't want to get my math wrong times seven, 483. 483 years. So watch this From the time that they made the command with Nehemiah you can do the math. I'm not gonna take the time to go through it and show you all in scripture From the time that the command went out to rebuild the wall to the time that Jesus showed up in the triumphant entry watch this there was exactly 483 years, isn't that amazing? From that time, from that time, there was 483 years. It says, the streets shall be built again and the wall, even in troublesome times, and after the 62 weeks, the Messiah shall be cut off, but not for himself, and the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, until the end of the war of desolations are determined. So there will be a total of 483 years from that point on.
Speaker 1:And then now the season of the Gentiles. That's why we read in Luke, chapter 21. And you also read in Matthew, chapter 24, it talks about that all these things must be filled till the end of the time of the Gentiles. That is the time when the gospel of God shut the eyes of the Jewish people. He said you'll no longer see me until bless me, that comes, in the name of the Lord. Now, remember, the 70 weeks were about the Jewish people. So 69, it stopped, it paused. We've had a pause now for about 2,000, some odd years, until now we're getting ready to see that last week fulfilled, that last week.
Speaker 1:Watch, this begins when the rapture hits. After the rapture hits, there will be seven weeks sorry, there will be seven years. That final week, 483, there'll be 490 years, a total of 70 weeks. That will be fulfilled at that point. So look at verse 27. Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week, but in the middle of the week he shall bring an end to sacrifice and offerings and on the wing of abomination shall be one who makes desolate even until the consummation which is determined is poured out on the desolate. So he's saying there that the Antichrist is going to come and he's going to make a covenant. So when the rapture hits, right after that or right before that, he's going to sign a covenant with the children of Israel for them seven years. He said it's going to be a seven-year treaty. No one's going to be able to mess with Israel. It's going to be completely good, but in the middle. So that's why we have the three and a half years.
Speaker 1:The tribulation years is separated between the tribulation and the great tribulation. The first three and a half years are the tribulation years. The second three and a half years are the great tribulation years. So it's going to intensify. You're going to go from the trumpets and the bowls to the vials, the vial symbolic. When you ever look at trumpets and bowls and vials, they all have different significance, but vials are very important because whenever you see vials, vials are significant because they are significant of wrath, they symbolize wrath. Rather, they're significant because they symbolize the wrath of God. So they're going to intensify. They're going to be shorter than the other ones, but they're going to be I mean, they're going to be rough. It's going to be very, very bad.
Speaker 1:Think about those years in the seven years. Those seven years are going to be so bad that Jesus said that unless the days were shortened, no flesh would survive. And so what's going to happen? To? First, that seven years are going to be marked by the rapture. Actually, technically, the rapture, I believe the rapture in seven years are going to be right close together.
Speaker 1:So technically it's going to begin with the signing of the peace tree with Israel and for those seven years, that's when it's going to start, and then three and a half years, he's going to break that in the middle he's going to set himself up as God and then he's going to say I'm the one, that's God. You got to bow down and worship me, because in the beginning he's just going to come as a political leader, a leader and a religious leader, and he's going to seem like a Messiah, but he can't stay there. So he eventually is going to turn and say y'all got to bow down and worship me, and that's the way it's going to be. And then that's where the mark of the beast is going to come in, because that's the way. At first, the mark of the beast will be optional. Isn't it funny when you start thinking about that? Isn't it just like it was? The mark of the beast was the same way that it was with the mask, and then, after that, he's going to command everybody to have to come and bow down and worship him, and I'm going to get into that.
Speaker 1:Tomorrow we're going to talk about I'm sorry, actually on Monday we'll talk about it. On Monday we're going to talk about the mark of the beast. We're going to talk about what's going to happen during that time, how he's going to command everybody to do it and why he's going to do that and how. The things we went through in 2020 was a dress rehearsal for what is coming, but in the middle of the week he's going to break that and he's going to command everybody to worship him, and that's when things are really going to pick up and get ugly. So it's very, and that's why I want to take this time every single day, monday through Friday. It's the Lord.
Speaker 1:God gives me grace and strength to be able to share with you some of these things, and I believe the message for today is don't walk in fear. All of these things we're talking about are scary for those that are here. Remember, it said a thief in the night. So it's kind of like you're going to be robbed, you know, but we're not being robbed, we are actually getting raptured. They're the ones that are going to get robbed. They're like oh wait a minute, I'm left. I didn't realize this. Oh my gosh, what has happening? And they're going to be left here for this. You and I will not.
Speaker 1:And that's why it says in first Thessalonians, chapter five, that God has not appointed us to wrath but to obtain the inheritance, because we are the righteousness in Christ Jesus. So I want you to be encouraged today and I want to pray for you that no fear will come upon your life. Father, god, in the name of Jesus, I break the spirit of fear today. I thank you today that you haven't given us a spirit of fear, but a power, love and a sound mind. I thank you today that through your word, even today, father, we have done our best to share, that we would understand that we are greatly beloved, that all the things that are happening and unfolding before our very own eyes are because, father God, you're showing us what's to come and what is to happen.
Speaker 1:So, father God, I pray for any person that's battling, any person that doesn't feel loved, every person that's struggling in their life, that, lord, you would be with them, that you would bless them and that you would anoint them and that they would feel your arms round about them. They would be comforted. Even it says in 1 Thessalonians 4 and 5, that fear came upon those people in the church of Thessalonica. And, lord, I'm asking today that you would bless every person, that they would not have fear, that they would walk in power, love and a sound mind, and that they would experience your love and know that they are cloaked in your love and in the palm of your hand. And, father, we thank you, giving you the praise, the honor and the glory in Jesus' name. Amen, amen, amen.
Speaker 1:Well, listen, I hope that you enjoyed. I hope that you've been encouraged. Know that God loves you, you are greatly beloved and he wants you to know those things. I want you to tune in on Monday. Take a minute, like, subscribe, follow, share, download all this so you can be aware of what the spirit of the Lord is saying in this day and in this hour. Once again, I hope that you enjoyed and I'll be back with you next time, coming up Monday, monday through Friday, for every single night at 8.30 pm, right here on Dimensions. I'll see you then. Thank you, free audio post production.
