SPEAKER_01: Check out our website at summitchurchtn.com.
SPEAKER_01: Thanks for listening, and we pray this message encourages you today.
SPEAKER_00: Tara DeDio, happy Mother's Day.
SPEAKER_00: We love you.
SPEAKER_00: Now, in the back there after service, I have something very special for you.
SPEAKER_00: Both of it, two things, both of which, this is the first time we are making it available in the public that you can get your hands on it.
SPEAKER_00: So we are launching this here.
SPEAKER_00: I believe one of the greatest lies and the deceptions of the enemy is replacement theology.
SPEAKER_00: The anti-Semitism and the attacks against the Jewish people and the state of Israel and God's plan for them has to be answered, and the church has done a terrible job of answering it.
SPEAKER_00: I believe this is key for the end-time believer.
SPEAKER_00: And so I wrote a book called Erasing Israel: Seven Deadly Lies That Rewrite God's Promises and Fuel False Prophecy.
SPEAKER_00: And I need the body of Christ to get this.
SPEAKER_00: I haven't offered this anywhere else.
SPEAKER_00: No one could get their hands on it.
SPEAKER_00: You were the first church we're offering it to, and it'll be back there in the back.
SPEAKER_00: Come in, hallelujah.
SPEAKER_00: That'll be back there.
SPEAKER_00: And this one, there's a free version of this, and this one's only$5.
SPEAKER_00: It's called the Mystery of the Sapphire Tablets.
SPEAKER_00: And 18 Things You Don't Know About Pentecost.
SPEAKER_00: Did you know that when Moses came down from the mountain, it is believed by many within the Jewish community and the sages that he did not come down with craggy rocks hewn out of the mountain the first time.
SPEAKER_00: He came down with sapphire cubes that were hewn out of the throne of God.
SPEAKER_00: And that within those sapphire cubes was the word of God.
SPEAKER_00: And that's what he brought down with his face shining like the sun.
SPEAKER_00: And as his face shone like the sun, it hit the prism of those cubes, and the light of the word was cast on the entire nation.
SPEAKER_00: That's the first Pentecost.
SPEAKER_00: Did you know that King David was born on Pentecost?
SPEAKER_00: And that he died on Pentecost.
SPEAKER_00: Meaning a praise is birthed on Pentecost.
SPEAKER_00: A Davidic praise is birthed on Pentecost.
SPEAKER_00: So, if if you want, you can get the digital copy, absolutely free.
SPEAKER_00: Thousands of people have already downloaded it at revivalnation.com.
SPEAKER_00: We've got a lot of free resources there.
SPEAKER_00: You can download this for free, the digital copy, but we have the hard copy for the first time we're making it available anywhere, anyplace, anytime.
SPEAKER_00: Because Pentecost is coming, guys.
SPEAKER_00: What do we have?
SPEAKER_00: A week and a half?
SPEAKER_00: Two weeks?
SPEAKER_00: Less than two weeks.
SPEAKER_00: And this is will prepare you for Pentecost.
SPEAKER_00: And if you know somebody who hasn't received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, they'll get it reading this book.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, I promise you that.
SPEAKER_00: So those are going to be available back there, and I think it's going to be a great blessing to you.
SPEAKER_00: We got some stuff to get into today.
SPEAKER_00: So grab your notepad, grab your pen, grab your paper, grab your paper, grab your prayer life, and let's pray right now.
SPEAKER_00: Father, in the name of Jesus, let the fiery presence of your Spirit speak to us and engrave your word on the fleshly tablets of our heart.
SPEAKER_00: Be made real to us today.
SPEAKER_00: Holy Spirit, we in a unified corporate prayer say you are welcome in this place.
SPEAKER_00: Come and have your way.
SPEAKER_00: Bring healing, bring deliverance, bring revelation, bring an understanding of who Jesus is that can set the captives free.
SPEAKER_00: In Jesus' name, everybody said.
SPEAKER_00: Amen and amen.
SPEAKER_00: In a moment, we will be going to Genesis chapter number one.
SPEAKER_00: In a moment we'll be going to Genesis chapter one.
SPEAKER_00: I don't know if anybody have noticed, but recently there's been a subject matter that has gone viral online concerning UFOs, UAPs, non-human intelligence.
SPEAKER_00: Anybody seen this on the news?
SPEAKER_00: Anybody?
SPEAKER_00: Raise your hand.
SPEAKER_00: Let me let me see.
SPEAKER_00: If you have, raise your hand.
SPEAKER_00: Let me see.
SPEAKER_00: I just need to know.
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
SPEAKER_00: And somehow, some way, I got thrown in the middle of this conversation.
SPEAKER_00: I don't know how, I became the figurehead of this conversation, but by the divine hand of God.
SPEAKER_00: And I want to tell you that you didn't know Mother's Day you were coming to hear about aliens, did you?
SPEAKER_00: It's only in the introduction, I promise.
SPEAKER_00: It's only in the introduction.
SPEAKER_00: But I was invited to a meeting.
SPEAKER_00: It's the strangest meeting I've ever been a part of.
SPEAKER_00: Since that meeting, over the last 48 hours, I have spoken with the New York Post, the New York Times, Newsmax, and a bunch of Christian media agencies and outlets, as people are fascinated with this subject matter, which is why I think it's a great evangelistic tool for the hour we're living in.
SPEAKER_00: So, knowing I had written a book called Summoning the Demon, and I had spoken about AI aliens and the Antichrist in the past, because I believe many in the church were going down these rabbit holes on social media and they were detaching from the Word of God entirely.
SPEAKER_00: Because it's an interesting subject matter, and how many of you know it's easy to go down the rabbit hole and go from one subject to the next to the next to the next until you just don't trust anything.
SPEAKER_00: You just come to a place where you're not even in the word anymore.
SPEAKER_00: You're just consuming one podcast after another after another after another.
SPEAKER_00: And I think that's dangerous.
SPEAKER_00: I think that no book should be of greater value, no podcast should be of greater value than the Word of the Living God.
SPEAKER_00: How many of you will say amen to that?
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna try that again.
SPEAKER_00: How many of you will say amen to that?
SPEAKER_00: And so, having written about this, there was some individuals who were hosting a meeting.
SPEAKER_00: These individuals wish to remain anonymous, which is why this meeting is called secret or private meeting.
SPEAKER_00: Not because of the information that was discussed, but because they want their identities to be kept secret, because of their livelihoods, because of their safety, and because of the continuing investigation that they are a part of that they don't want to be interfered with.
SPEAKER_00: So that's caused a lot of confusion, as it did for us going into this meeting.
SPEAKER_00: One of them I did know, one of them to this day I don't know who he is.
SPEAKER_00: One of them was a special operator in the military, I will say that, with extensive experience in the military.
SPEAKER_00: I will say that the other one, from what we know, has had extensive experience within these three letter agencies, has worked in and potentially continues to work with because his sources are impeccable.
SPEAKER_00: Impeccable.
SPEAKER_00: And we were in Tennessee, as a matter of fact.
SPEAKER_00: Glory to God.
SPEAKER_00: Y'all are open to weird stuff in Tennessee.
SPEAKER_00: Strange things happen in Tennessee.
SPEAKER_00: And we were in Nashville, Tennessee, and we were at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention, and a group of us who had discussed this subject matter were invited to what I call this clandestine meeting.
SPEAKER_00: I say that we were lured into this meeting because we say you need to come to this meeting to get information that you're not going to get anywhere else.
SPEAKER_00: And you're being taken into this Airbnb out in the middle of nowhere, it appeared, just in a random neighborhood with a dark street.
SPEAKER_00: And I go into this into this house where the driveway is packed full of rental cars, and you go in and you're asked to turn your phone on airplane mode as they dive into what they believe to be sensitive information, particularly concerning their investigation, their history, their past, and then information that they believe is an indictment against the United States government.
SPEAKER_00: That the U.S.
SPEAKER_00: government has committed potentially some crimes in the pursuit of and in the covering up of UFO UAP phenomenon.
SPEAKER_00: Three hours we were going through slides as they shared with us all the different theories and strange things that they believe would be the theories that many would bring forward.
SPEAKER_00: But the purpose of the meeting was to say this.
SPEAKER_00: Tell the church discretion is coming very soon.
SPEAKER_00: Disclosure is coming very soon.
SPEAKER_00: Tell them that very, very soon, it's been talked about for years, it's been teased for years, we're actually gonna have some document dumps.
SPEAKER_00: Key leaders are gonna begin to talk about this.
SPEAKER_00: This was in February of this year.
SPEAKER_00: Within 24 hours, the president came out from that meeting and said, we're gonna be declassifying some information.
SPEAKER_00: So that got our attention that these people might have some information.
SPEAKER_00: But of course, they've teased this idea, they've discussed it for a long, long time.
SPEAKER_00: Would they actually disclose anything?
SPEAKER_00: And how many of you know in the last few hours they actually have done an historic document dump on these issues and they're about to do even more?
SPEAKER_00: So far, they've been accurate.
SPEAKER_00: In the process of time, we also saw J.D.
SPEAKER_00: Vance, the vice president of the United States, say, I believe aliens are demons.
SPEAKER_00: The vice president.
SPEAKER_00: Have we ever had the vice president talk about it in such flippant terms before?
SPEAKER_00: And yet he did, even laughing about it.
SPEAKER_00: We've had the president come out and talk about it.
SPEAKER_00: Matt Gates has come out and says that he was privy to the fact that there are hybridization programs going on within the United States government.
SPEAKER_00: Think of that for a moment.
SPEAKER_00: How long do you think they've been doing that since that sheep they cloned back in what was it, the 90s?
SPEAKER_00: What kind of hybridization programs are going on?
SPEAKER_00: Isn't this fascinating?
SPEAKER_00: I mean, it really is fascinating.
SPEAKER_00: Some people have said you're sensationalizing this.
SPEAKER_00: I don't know how to not sensationalize this.
SPEAKER_00: This is just sensational all by itself.
SPEAKER_00: This is weird.
SPEAKER_00: Look at your neighbor and say, this is weird.
SPEAKER_00: This is.
SPEAKER_00: The fact that we're talking about this on Mother's Day, this is weird.
SPEAKER_00: But it is the conversation of the country.
SPEAKER_00: And they said, you need to start preparing the church because we're concerned that there are pew sitters who are also fence sitters who will not be ready for this.
SPEAKER_00: There are people who are looking for any reason to deconstruct their faith.
SPEAKER_00: They're looking for any reason to give an excuse for their sin.
SPEAKER_00: They're looking for any reason to depart from their faith that they have in Jesus or that they're on the verge of having in Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: And we need to let the people know, let the church know, let the world know that the Bible does have the answers.
SPEAKER_00: Come on, I said the Bible does have the answers.
SPEAKER_00: And this is not new information.
SPEAKER_00: The fact that there is non-human intelligence, you notice they shifted the conversation.
SPEAKER_00: It's no longer extraterrestrial.
SPEAKER_00: They are now saying non-human.
SPEAKER_00: Well, now you're getting into biblical territory because I ask you, is there anything in the Bible that talks about intelligence that is not human and yet nefarious?
SPEAKER_00: No.
SPEAKER_00: Are these things demons?
SPEAKER_00: Well, if you want to oversimplify the thing, then you could say, I believe that it is demonic.
SPEAKER_00: Which is an umbrella term dealing with evil.
SPEAKER_00: Are they demons?
SPEAKER_00: Fallen angels?
SPEAKER_00: Are they Nephilim, the hybrid of a human and a fallen angel?
SPEAKER_00: Is it some sort of demonically inspired tech?
SPEAKER_00: Have you seen what they're doing with robotics right now and artificial intelligence?
SPEAKER_00: Really is terrifying that the first thing we're teaching robots to do is kung fu.
SPEAKER_00: Have you guys noticed that?
SPEAKER_00: You see these robots on X doing kung fu.
SPEAKER_00: Whereas a few months ago they couldn't even walk.
SPEAKER_00: They couldn't even stand, they're falling over, and now they're doing flips and they're doing things that I couldn't do with six months of instruction.
SPEAKER_00: Things are rapidly changing.
SPEAKER_00: And of course, the book of Daniel says that there will be an explosion of knowledge.
SPEAKER_00: Are we seeing an explosion of knowledge?
SPEAKER_00: Now, some interpret that explosion of knowledge to be an explosion of technological knowledge.
SPEAKER_00: And I think we've certainly seen that.
SPEAKER_00: You have more technology on your cell phone than they did on the very first space shuttle.
SPEAKER_00: That's an explosion of knowledge.
SPEAKER_00: In a very short period of time, we went from riding horses and transportation like they have had throughout the entirety of human history, from riding horses to landing on the moon, if you believe we did that.
SPEAKER_00: It's another question for another day.
SPEAKER_00: Don't read into that statement.
SPEAKER_00: I'm just having fun with you.
SPEAKER_00: To rockets that can go into space.
SPEAKER_00: There has been an explosion of knowledge.
SPEAKER_00: However, within the context, it could certainly be that the meaning of that passage, an explosion of knowledge, means an explosion of prophetic knowledge.
SPEAKER_00: An explosion of Bible prophecy and an understanding of Bible prophecy.
SPEAKER_00: Have we seen that?
SPEAKER_00: I'd think never before have we seen such a widespread interest, research, and study and writings into eschatology or the study of end things.
SPEAKER_00: We're seeing it right now.
SPEAKER_00: An explosion of that knowledge and interest in that knowledge, which is why I think it's one of the greatest apologetics and evangelistic opportunities of our day.
SPEAKER_00: We are seeing Bible prophecy being fulfilled right in front of us.
SPEAKER_00: And don't pay any attention to the skeptics that are out there who are saying there was no meeting, these pastors are lying.
SPEAKER_00: These they're just, you know, these people just maybe they're good intentioned, uh, maybe they're trying to protect the body of Christ, but there obviously was a meeting.
SPEAKER_00: We said disclosure was coming, and here is the disclosure.
SPEAKER_00: So everything what we said came to pass as far as the disclosure is concerned, and is coming to pass.
SPEAKER_00: So I think that counts for something.
SPEAKER_00: So we have access to some very interesting intelligence.
SPEAKER_00: And I can tell you this there are different silos within the United States government, and the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing.
SPEAKER_00: And they have competing interests and beliefs about what these things are.
SPEAKER_00: We must not be shaken by these things.
SPEAKER_00: When we're talking about Bible prophecy, you must understand.
SPEAKER_00: And I hope you have a desire and a hunger for understanding Bible prophecy.
SPEAKER_00: You know, I heard your church did the Daniel fast going into the new year.
SPEAKER_00: Is that right?
SPEAKER_00: You guys did the Daniel fast, and there's a lot of discussion and talk about the Daniel fast.
SPEAKER_00: We talk about what he fasted, right?
SPEAKER_00: We talk about how long he fasted.
SPEAKER_00: You know what we never talk about?
SPEAKER_00: Why he fasted.
SPEAKER_00: He fasted.
SPEAKER_00: Now get this.
SPEAKER_00: Here's the reason why Daniel was fasting.
SPEAKER_00: He fasted for an understanding of Bible prophecy.
SPEAKER_00: He said, God, I want to know where I am in the book.
SPEAKER_00: Help me to find myself, my nation in the book.
SPEAKER_00: And I think we need Christians today who will cast aside the doom scrolling, pick up their Bible, and say, God, show me where we are in the book.
SPEAKER_00: And I promise you the Holy Spirit will lead you.
SPEAKER_00: But what was the number one warning that God gave, Jesus gave when talking about the last days?
SPEAKER_00: He said, Beware of deception.
SPEAKER_00: Beware of deception in the last days.
SPEAKER_00: And all we're attempting to do is cut off that deception at the past and make sure you go to the Word of God to discuss these things.
SPEAKER_00: Now, we're entering into a new epoch, especially in the spring of this year, 2026, in your Gregorian calendar, in Greg's calendar.
SPEAKER_00: It is 2026.
SPEAKER_00: We may talk about what the other calendars say here in a moment.
SPEAKER_00: But I want you to look at Genesis chapter 1, verse 26.
SPEAKER_00: Since we are in the 26th year, 2026, let's look at the 26th verse of your Bible.
SPEAKER_00: So turn to Genesis chapter 1, verse 26.
SPEAKER_00: As you pray in the Holy Spirit, come on, it took inspiration in order to write the book.
SPEAKER_00: It's going to take inspiration for you to receive the truths of that book.
SPEAKER_00: Welcome the Holy Spirit.
SPEAKER_00: Anytime you open your Bible, you ought to start praising God, glorifying God, praying in the Spirit, opening yourself up to what the Spirit of God has to say.
SPEAKER_00: Here's what it says in Genesis chapter 1 and verse 26.
SPEAKER_00: And God said, Let us make man in our image and after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
SPEAKER_00: I want you to look at this here for a moment.
SPEAKER_00: And God said, Let us make man in our after our life.
SPEAKER_00: That was not bad, but you sound like Methodists there, so I'm going to try that again.
SPEAKER_00: In our what?
SPEAKER_00: And after our that was a little more Baptist.
SPEAKER_00: Now let's try that again.
SPEAKER_00: In our and after our liar.
SPEAKER_00: So what in the world is he talking?
SPEAKER_00: What does that mean?
SPEAKER_00: One of the greatest problems we have in reading the scripture is assuming we know what it means because we have all of the knowledge of the gospels and all of the knowledge of the Bible.
SPEAKER_00: But I want you to look at this verse for a moment as if you've never seen it before, as if you just started reading the Bible, you opened it up to Genesis, and the only thing you know about image and likeness, the only thing you know is what has been mentioned in the previous 25 verses.
SPEAKER_00: That's the proper way to read this.
SPEAKER_00: When he says image and likeness, what context do we have?
SPEAKER_00: What foundation do we have to even understand?
SPEAKER_00: What does he mean, image?
SPEAKER_00: What does he mean?
SPEAKER_00: Likeness.
SPEAKER_00: It's very interesting.
SPEAKER_00: When you go to John chapter 1 and he interprets this passage of scripture, he doesn't say, in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
SPEAKER_00: He says, in the beginning was the Word.
SPEAKER_00: And the Word was with God in the Word.
SPEAKER_00: So if you go to Genesis chapter 1, you can look at it there in your Bible.
SPEAKER_00: In the beginning, God.
SPEAKER_00: Now, what is the word there in Hebrew?
SPEAKER_00: Elohim.
SPEAKER_00: All-powerful creator.
SPEAKER_00: I want to paint in your mind the image that you've been formed in.
SPEAKER_00: In the beginning, an all-powerful creator.
SPEAKER_00: Yes?
SPEAKER_00: Now, John chapter 1, in the beginning was the.
SPEAKER_00: Okay?
SPEAKER_00: So in the beginning, an all-powerful word.
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
SPEAKER_00: Yes, yes.
SPEAKER_00: In the beginning, we have an all-powerful creator who defines himself as a word.
SPEAKER_00: Try that again.
SPEAKER_00: In the beginning, we have an all-powerful creator who defines himself as a word.
SPEAKER_00: God created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters, and God said, Let there be light.
SPEAKER_00: The next verse.
SPEAKER_00: And God said, and it was so.
SPEAKER_00: And God and it was so, and God said, and it was so, and God said, and it was so.
SPEAKER_00: And then we get to 126, and you were created in his image.
SPEAKER_00: And after his likeness.
SPEAKER_00: What have you been saying?
SPEAKER_00: There is a legalism that has entered into the spirit-filled community, word of faith community can get into legalism in this regard.
SPEAKER_00: However, you were made in his image.
SPEAKER_00: The only being on the earth that is a speaking spirit.
SPEAKER_00: What distinguishes you from the animals is that you speak.
SPEAKER_00: You have power in your words.
SPEAKER_00: There is creative capability in your words.
SPEAKER_00: And you have, I believe, that the world you live in today is a direct result of the words you spoke yesterday.
SPEAKER_00: We have believers today, we get all fascinated again, diving down the rabbit holes, and we talk about all these open doors and portals, and people will get into and they'll talk about, I don't know, Pokemon.
SPEAKER_00: And Pokemon is an open door to the devil.
SPEAKER_00: And then they'll talk about some other cartoon.
SPEAKER_00: You didn't see that Scooby-Doo cartoon, did you?
SPEAKER_00: That might open the door to the devil in your life.
SPEAKER_00: And you know what they never focus on?
SPEAKER_00: Anything that is their responsibility.
SPEAKER_00: So they'll look at this portable, this portal, this portal, this portal, never this portal.
SPEAKER_00: That when you open your mouth, God is listening.
SPEAKER_00: One of the most frightening passages of Scripture, I believe, is in Numbers chapter 14, where God says, I heard you.
SPEAKER_00: They were murmuring and they were complaining.
SPEAKER_00: You know what the number one problem God had with the people of Israel when they came out of Egypt was they murmured, complained, and gossiped.
SPEAKER_00: And in chapter 13 and 14, he comes down and says, I heard you.
SPEAKER_00: And then he says, it's very interesting, he says, So I'm going to give you what you said.
SPEAKER_00: And they were saying, I would to God we would have died in the wilderness and rather be here.
SPEAKER_00: And God said, I heard you.
SPEAKER_00: And now I'm going to give you exactly what you said.
SPEAKER_00: You will die in this wilderness.
SPEAKER_00: And I need to remind every Christian in this building today, he heard you.
SPEAKER_00: He's listening to you.
SPEAKER_00: His recorder does not turn on the moment you begin to pray and then turn off whenever you say in Jesus' name, Amen.
SPEAKER_00: He's still listening after that.
SPEAKER_00: He still reads your Facebook posts, he still reads your social, he listens to your conversation.
SPEAKER_00: When you step your toe, he was listening to He said, I heard you.
SPEAKER_00: I heard you.
SPEAKER_00: Tripped over the dog.
SPEAKER_00: I heard you.
SPEAKER_00: Now there is grace.
SPEAKER_00: How many of you thank?
SPEAKER_00: Oh, I mean, how many of you thankful for grace that it doesn't have to be a disqualifier for you?
SPEAKER_00: You don't have to live there.
SPEAKER_00: But the reason why Christians are so anti-getting control of their speech is because it's hard.
SPEAKER_00: If you are going to live a victorious Christian life in the last days, you're going to have to get a hold of your mouth.
SPEAKER_00: You're going to have to go to the gym, G Y M.
SPEAKER_00: Guard your mouth.
SPEAKER_00: You're going to have to learn that everything that comes out of your mouth needs to be guarded.
SPEAKER_00: And needs to be watched.
SPEAKER_00: And here's the simple question, not to be legalistic, but to ask: does this honor God?
SPEAKER_00: Does this reverence him?
SPEAKER_00: Is this fruit?
SPEAKER_00: Is this faith?
SPEAKER_00: Or is this my flesh talking?
SPEAKER_00: Because I could be creating something.
SPEAKER_00: I've been made in his image and after his likeness.
SPEAKER_00: But here's what I wanted to declare over you and over this church.
SPEAKER_00: In 2026, you were entering into an age of dominion, a time where you need a revelation of who you are in Christ and what it is he has provided to you through the cross, through the resurrection, and even through his intercessory work at the right hand of the Father.
SPEAKER_00: There is a great dominion that's been left on the table that the church has not been operating in.
SPEAKER_00: And I came to tell you, you have the authority to change your situation, your family, your city, and this nation.
SPEAKER_00: And we've got to grab it.
SPEAKER_00: Come on, guys, it's time to get a hold of our dominion.
SPEAKER_00: It's time to get a hold of our authority.
SPEAKER_00: Here's what I hear in my heart.
SPEAKER_00: The age of grace is almost over.
SPEAKER_00: And when we look at Bible prophecy, it becomes more and more evident, more and more clear.
SPEAKER_00: When you look at Isaiah 46, just write it down.
SPEAKER_00: This is a key verse concerning understanding Bible prophecy.
SPEAKER_00: Isaiah 46 says, I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come.
SPEAKER_00: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.
SPEAKER_00: I make known the Y'all helping me?
SPEAKER_00: Can you see it up there?
SPEAKER_00: I make known the from the beginning.
SPEAKER_00: So could it be that the last days or all of human history is laid out in the first days of creation?
SPEAKER_00: In six days God created all that there was, and on the seventh day he what if that is a prophetic pattern of humanity's time here on this earth?
SPEAKER_00: Look very quickly, you just pull it up, but you can write it down in your notes in Mark chapter 12.
SPEAKER_00: I believe it is Mark chapter 12.
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to show you two translations here of Mark chapter 12.
SPEAKER_00: That's I think you're going to get a kick out of this.
SPEAKER_00: This is the parallel of the two passages of the parable that Jesus spoke.
SPEAKER_00: It says here in Mark chapter 12, verse 1, and Jesus began teaching them with stories.
SPEAKER_00: And the other verse it says, Jesus began to speak unto them in parables.
SPEAKER_00: Now, what is a parable?
SPEAKER_00: Huh?
SPEAKER_00: It's a story.
SPEAKER_00: I think in the Greek it means like to cast alongside.
SPEAKER_00: And so it is a story that you throw alongside the truth that you're trying to reveal so that they can see the truth you're trying to reveal.
SPEAKER_00: However, what many ministers say and they get wrong is they say that Jesus spoke in parables in order to make it simple for people to understand.
SPEAKER_00: In fact, the disciples asked him, Why do you speak in parables?
SPEAKER_00: He said, Actually, I'm speaking in parables to hide what I'm saying from people who aren't really interested and to hide it for people who are willing to pursue what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_00: So parables are actually not surface level.
SPEAKER_00: If you think the parable is simply about being nice to your neighbor, that certainly applies, but there is more to that parable.
SPEAKER_00: You've got to dig a little bit deeper.
SPEAKER_00: And here in this parable, I believe we are seeing God's plan for humanity in this parable.
SPEAKER_00: He says, and Jesus began teaching them with stories, and he says, A man planted a vineyard.
SPEAKER_00: I believe that's God and the Garden of Eden.
SPEAKER_00: He built a wall around it and dug a pit for pressing out the grape juice and built a look at tower, and he leased the vineyard to a tenant, to tenant farmers.
SPEAKER_00: That's man.
SPEAKER_00: And then moved to another country, heaven.
SPEAKER_00: Here in the NIV, then Jesus began to speak unto them in parables.
SPEAKER_00: A man planted a vineyard, he put a wall around it, dug a pit for the wine press, built a watchtower, and then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place.
SPEAKER_00: Two words in these two verses I want you to highlight.
SPEAKER_00: Leased and rented.
SPEAKER_00: What does that mean?
SPEAKER_00: Well, that means there's a price that needs to be paid.
SPEAKER_00: Also within lease and rentals, there's a time.
SPEAKER_00: Man has been given a designated period of time.
SPEAKER_00: We are on a lease.
SPEAKER_00: Some even say when you get into the book of Revelation, there's a scroll that's open.
SPEAKER_00: It's actually the lease to the planet Earth.
SPEAKER_00: And he's the only one worthy to open the scroll.
SPEAKER_00: That we have been given a certain lease.
SPEAKER_00: How long is that lease?
SPEAKER_00: Well, let's go to Peter and Psalms.
SPEAKER_00: You have these verses up here.
SPEAKER_00: Just write them down very, very quickly.
SPEAKER_00: Peter and Psalms.
SPEAKER_00: It gives us some insight.
SPEAKER_00: 2 Peter chapter 3, verse 8.
SPEAKER_00: One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years is as one.
SPEAKER_00: And then Psalm, for a thousand years in thy sight are as but yesterday.
SPEAKER_00: Could it be that when we see the creation account of six days and on the seventh day he rested, we are seeing the end in the beginning, in that God is giving man six thousand years.
SPEAKER_00: And on the seventh thousand years, that will be the Sabbath when Jesus comes to rule and to reign on the earth.
SPEAKER_00: The parallels are striking when you begin to dive into it.
SPEAKER_00: And this is not something that we're creating out of nothing.
SPEAKER_00: Hippolytus and Iranius suggested this.
SPEAKER_00: The Epistle of Barnabas, the Talmud, and others all suggest this.
SPEAKER_00: They believe that there is a cosmic week that is designated to humanity that was revealed in the creation account.
SPEAKER_00: That we have six thousand years before Jesus comes.
SPEAKER_00: And then he rules for the 7,000 years.
SPEAKER_00: In fact, when you look at Hosea, it's interesting, talking about the coming of the Messiah in Hosea, it says, after two days he will revive us, and on the third day he will raise us up.
SPEAKER_00: Well, if you're counting the thousand-year period, it was four thousand years from Adam to Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: It's four days.
SPEAKER_00: Then from Jesus, if you add two days, that's two thousand years, that brings us to now.
SPEAKER_00: And he said, After two days, I will revive you.
SPEAKER_00: Well, what happened after two days in 1948?
SPEAKER_00: Was Israel revived?
SPEAKER_00: Did you know that at the same time Israel was revived, there was an earthquake and the mountains of Ararat and Noah's Ark was uncovered?
SPEAKER_00: At the exact same time as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the coming of the Son of Man.
SPEAKER_00: At the same time the Dead Sea Scrolls were being uncovered, at the same time confirming the scriptures that we have.
SPEAKER_00: You're living in the last days, ladies and gentlemen.
SPEAKER_00: Six thousand years.
SPEAKER_00: Now.
SPEAKER_00: Oh, I got chills.
SPEAKER_00: Man, I love I love the Bible.
SPEAKER_00: I love Bible prophecy.
SPEAKER_00: Now, there are different calendars.
SPEAKER_00: There are different calendars.
SPEAKER_00: You have the Gregorian, are you being educated today?
SPEAKER_00: It's okay getting a little bit of teaching.
SPEAKER_00: There are three main calendars that you should be aware of.
SPEAKER_00: Number one is Greg's calendar.
SPEAKER_00: That's the one that we use regularly.
SPEAKER_00: That's the dumbest calendar.
SPEAKER_00: Greg's calendar, it says it's 2026.
SPEAKER_00: By the way, it's interesting that all these signs are being fulfilled within the generation of the 2,000-year anniversary of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus that's coming up in 32, 33, 2032, 2033.
SPEAKER_00: Isn't this wild?
SPEAKER_00: So you have Greg's calendar, it says it's 2026, but then you have the Hebrew calendar.
SPEAKER_00: So we're trying to find out where are we in God's calendar on this 6,000 years, six days.
SPEAKER_00: And in the Hebrew calendar, it's 5,786.
SPEAKER_00: Well, that's a little clearer, isn't it?
SPEAKER_00: 5,786.
SPEAKER_00: That's the Hebrew calendar.
SPEAKER_00: But there is another calendar.
SPEAKER_00: It's called the Essene calendar or the Dead Sea Scroll Calendar.
SPEAKER_00: The Essenes departed from the Pharisaic religion of the Jewish people that they believed had departed from the faith and had bastardized the calendar that God had created.
SPEAKER_00: And so for the purpose of preserving the calendar, they separated themselves and they were the Pentecostals of the pre-Christ era in the sense that they believed in casting out devils, they believed in laying hands on the sick, they were the crazy people that were out there in the wilderness.
SPEAKER_00: It is believed that John the Baptist came from this group called the Essenes.
SPEAKER_00: They predicted the coming of two Messiahs, because they believed there's no way it could be one, because one is going to suffer and die, and then the other one will rule and reign, so it must be two.
SPEAKER_00: And they predicted when it was going to happen.
SPEAKER_00: They actually predicted when Jesus would come to the earth.
SPEAKER_00: They knew about this.
SPEAKER_00: And that's wild.
SPEAKER_00: And they were the keepers of the calendar.
SPEAKER_00: Do you know what year they say it is right now?
SPEAKER_00: They say it is the year 5,951.
SPEAKER_00: 5,951.
SPEAKER_00: How many years do we have left according to the Essene calendar?
SPEAKER_00: 49.
SPEAKER_00: Until the end of the age.
SPEAKER_00: However, we don't know how messed up the calendar is.
SPEAKER_00: We don't know how long before that the tribulation takes place.
SPEAKER_00: We don't know that the rapture takes place immediately before the tribulation.
SPEAKER_00: It could be months, it could be years before the tribulation, so that the Antichrist can set up his kingdom.
SPEAKER_00: All we know is we're in the final 50-year period, also known as the last Jubilee, is what we're in right now.
SPEAKER_00: Wow.
SPEAKER_00: They believe that God separated his calendar in 120 increments of 50.
SPEAKER_00: 120 Jubilees.
SPEAKER_00: There have been 119.
SPEAKER_00: We are now in the 120th Jubilee now, this year for the first time.
SPEAKER_00: We even have a calendar that we've created, and this is free at revivalnation.com.
SPEAKER_00: If you go into our store, you can get this chart and you can download it for free along with some other free downloads.
SPEAKER_00: The Essenes believe that God separated time into three different epochs, that 2,000 years, every 2,000 years, something significant would happen.
SPEAKER_00: And in the first 2,000 years we see from Adam, then Abraham came, and the nation of Israel, that covenant, that Abrahamic covenant was established.
SPEAKER_00: Then 2,000 years Jesus Christ came to the earth.
SPEAKER_00: And then 2,000 years later, this is where we are.
SPEAKER_00: That's when you're going to see all of the end time prophecies being fulfilled.
SPEAKER_00: What I'm trying to tell you is it's time to get serious.
SPEAKER_00: There's not much time left.
SPEAKER_00: It's time to get serious about what the Bible says about the last days, and serious what the Bible says about your behavior.
SPEAKER_00: Go to 2 Peter with me.
SPEAKER_00: 2 Peter.
SPEAKER_00: I believe.
SPEAKER_00: Once we get there, I'll tell you if it's if it's right or not.
SPEAKER_00: 2 Peter chapter 3.
SPEAKER_00: Come on, let me hear those pages turning.
SPEAKER_00: Or your thumb tapping on your phone.
SPEAKER_00: You know what I love about this?
SPEAKER_00: The batteries never wear out.
SPEAKER_00: When your phone dies, this one still works.
SPEAKER_00: And they can't edit this one, you know.
SPEAKER_00: I'm keeping my eye on it.
SPEAKER_00: Klaus Schwab and you've all you all know Harari have have talked about the editing the Bible.
SPEAKER_00: Using AI to create a new Bible and using modern technology to edit the Bibles that we have.
SPEAKER_00: They've already edited.
SPEAKER_00: Some have already edited some modern classics because it just was too woke for them or wasn't woke enough.
SPEAKER_00: And they're already edited.
SPEAKER_00: So you would never know reading it that that's not the original version.
SPEAKER_00: It's good to have a hard copy Bible, is what I'm saying to you.
SPEAKER_00: Good to have a hard copy.
SPEAKER_00: Might want to have a couple of them.
SPEAKER_00: Just make sure you read them too.
SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
SPEAKER_00: Let's go to 2 Peter chapter 3.
SPEAKER_00: Wow, 2 Peter chapter 3.
SPEAKER_00: He's been talking about the last days, the end times.
SPEAKER_00: Peter talks about that a great deal.
SPEAKER_00: And he says in verse number 3, know this first.
SPEAKER_00: After everything I've said to you, this is the most important thing.
SPEAKER_00: You need to get this first.
SPEAKER_00: That there will come in the last days scoffers.
SPEAKER_00: Now, if we're going to have scoffers, that means scoffing has to be popularized.
SPEAKER_00: That there has to be.
SPEAKER_00: Have you noticed online that scoffing has become popular?
SPEAKER_00: In particular in regard to end time teaching.
SPEAKER_00: Knowing this, that in there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own.
SPEAKER_00: So here's why they're scoffing.
SPEAKER_00: This is the reason why they're attacking the idea of the rapture.
SPEAKER_00: This is the reason why they're attacking the idea of the end times.
SPEAKER_00: Because they are walking after their own lust.
SPEAKER_00: We, before we were born again, were sin addicts.
SPEAKER_00: And when you are addicted to a thing, you will do anything to justify gratifying that desire.
SPEAKER_00: And so, if I can cast away the idea of the rapture of the church that Jesus is not coming any moment, therefore I can live however I want to live today.
SPEAKER_00: Because I am a sin addict.
SPEAKER_00: That's the reason why many of the scoffing views are taken today, because the Bible says they are after walking after their own lust.
SPEAKER_00: And look at what they're saying.
SPEAKER_00: Where's the promise of his coming?
SPEAKER_00: For since our fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.
SPEAKER_00: So we've always said it's the last days.
SPEAKER_00: Every generation has said they're the last generation.
SPEAKER_00: That's right, except you.
SPEAKER_00: That's right.
SPEAKER_00: Every generation has said they're the last generation except you.
SPEAKER_00: And here you stand, mocking, fulfilling Bible prophecy, that you are the last generation.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for confirming my belief that we're living in the last days.
SPEAKER_00: And here he says this, verse number nine the Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness, but as long suffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all come to the knowledge of the truth.
