SPEAKER_02 0:33

All right. Good evening, everyone. Good evening, good evening, good evening. Um, I'm just letting you guys know that to my right over here, um, the Lord has willed it and uh provided a way. And uh, so anyway, the camera right here is for YouTube, and the camera right here is for TikTok. So I am hoping I got my settings right on TikTok here this evening and that no one will join in. If they do, I cannot hear them. So, anyway, welcome to the TikTok world. Hello to everyone here on YouTube. So, pardon the delay here uh this evening. If I can just get a quick thumbs up on my sound, that would be awesome. Um if you don't mind doing that. Okay. All right. Just a quick thumbs up. Thank you, Stephen. Thank you, thank you, thank you. So Kathy uh jumped in. I don't know if she's still here, but you guys can see her comment there. She got an amazing praise report there for her granddaughter. So that is amazing there. So one thing about this camera is it definitely shows all of my imperfections um as the old lady that I am. So I was like, oh no, this is really strong. But anyway, so you guys get to see me in all of my glory here. But with that being said, we are gonna dive right in. So let me, I got stuff to do here, guys. Let me um present. Hello, hello. Okay, thanks, Kathy. I'm gonna go ahead and get this up on the stream as well for um TikTok. We've got a lot to dive in. It's not gonna really take that long here tonight, to be honest with you, but um, I do want us to stay in context um of where we ended um last week. So if you guys recall, last week, remember verse four, and I'll I'll have it on the screen here momentarily. It referred to my people, and nowhere in the New Testament is the church ever referred to as my people. So one would have to allude, and it proves our point, that the church is not going to be here during the tribulation, the church is in heaven, and we're also gonna see that in context here tonight. Um, unfortunately, there were two, and I'm not gonna mention the names, there were two prophecy people who came up on one on YouTube and one on TikTok. And I believe the one on TikTok has probably either muted my comment, blocked me, or whatever, and I don't care. A very well-known prophecy teacher and uh talking about things that um we have no business talking about. And what I mean by that is we are not God, we are not the ones who penned the Bible, right? It wasn't holy inspired, um it wasn't Holy Spirit inspired by us, it was inspired uh by the Holy Spirit through men, right? We understand that, right? Um, so when we want to sit here and we want to say that we know, that we know what's gonna happen in the Antichrist system, and we know um what it's gonna look like. Guys, that's a lie. And I I really want us to understand that that's a lie. Nobody knows, nobody knows what the system's gonna look like. We don't we don't have a clue. I don't even know what the apostasy is gonna look like. We can allude to some things because of scripture, unequivocally, that is given, that is uh in the word of God for us for a reason. And uh this morning when I was talking to the Lord, I was thinking about 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 about the apostasy, and I was just marinating on that, and I know we just finished Revelation 17, but if you really look contextually, it says in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 that after the apostasy, then the man of lawlessness, which we all know is the Antichrist, then he will come on the scene. And we have to understand that when we are studying, hello to everyone on TikTok who was joining. Um, please read my comments though, if you don't mind. Um, we'll take any questions after the live here on YouTube has ended. So no one can join right now. Um, anyway, but we have to understand that the apostasy has to happen first. The man of lawlessness, he that is not his description when the church is raptured. And I don't know why we just cannot wrap our heads around that. We think that he comes on tyranny and he's already setting up his system and he's not. He rides in on an ecumenical system. Guys, that's not me, that's the Bible telling us that. So we want to just change the Bible and we want to put it in narratives that it doesn't fit. So this particular channel was also butchering 2 Thessalonians, and he left out the word when the apostasy happens first, then those are very important keywords. So I just want to say that, guys, that tonight when we're reading through Revelation, we have to keep it contextually um what the Bible is saying, it's not what I am saying, right? It's not what anyone is saying in these prophecy circles. It is what is the word of God saying, and that should always be our plumb line. So enough with me babbling. Let us go ahead and uh pull up the verse here. I would just want to make sure that that is good to go there on TikTok, and it is. So this is where we ended last week, remember? Um, come out of her, my people. This was key. This is not a reference to the church. The church is never called my people, that is always a reference to Israel, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues. For her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquity. So, again, we are talking about the Antichrist system, the Antichrist setup in the city of Babylon. And we're gonna go through a lot of verses tonight in the Bible. And I have some notes. You guys can probably see those red check marks there, and that way we can stay on point and what the word of God is saying. So this phrase, pay her back. I'm sure that we have all heard an eye for an eye or a tooth for a tooth. This that saying right there is pay her back. Now, we all know, we understand that, right? We understand an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, right? But in this particular verse, it goes beyond that just an eye for an eye. What does it say here? It says, pay her back. Let me scroll up so you guys can see it here on the screen. Pay her back, even as she has paid, and give back to her double. So it's just not a simple eye for an eye. It is paying this system, this beast system back double according to her deeds, and the cup which she has mixed, mixed twice as much for her. So she's getting not only a payback, but another payback. Now, this is very interesting in verse uh seven, it says, to the degree that she glorified herself. Now, you guys understand that the word she, the system, the city, it's not a physical woman, it's it's it's using an analogy, right? So to the agree, to the degree that she glorified herself and lived sensuously. I found something very interesting here, and I want to read it really quick. To the same degree, give her torment and mourning, for she says in her heart, remember that is from an old testament verse here, quote, I sit as a queen, and I'm not a widow, and will never see mourning. So, verse seven is very, very interesting. So let me open, if I can, please, um, Revelation chapter three, and let us go to verse 17, because very interesting, right? We are in the Laodicean church age, are we not? I truly believe that we are. Very, very interesting. The church of Laodicea says, Because you say, This is our church age today, this is the people in our church today. I am rich and I have become wealthy, and I have need of nothing. And you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. This is why, here, by the way, I have been debating with people actually on TikTok, about the version of lukewarm. No Christian is lukewarm. The view of that lukewarm person in Revelation chapter three, they're not a Christian. That's the whole point. Jesus would never vomit anyone that he loves, nor anywhere in the New Testament is the church, if you're truly born again, ever described as wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked. And I have discussed this time and time again on my podcast, but I found it very, very interesting that this whole verse seven correlates very closely, isn't that odd, to the Laodicean church? Guys, I've said it time and time again here that there's a lot of Christians, pastors, Christian music artists that we think are born again and yet they only have a form of godliness. What do I mean when I say form of godliness? I think it's here. Uh 2 Timothy chapter three, it tells us that in the last days, that's the days that we're in right now, and it gives a whole outline here to the nature of people. But then, as you can see here in verse five, it says holding to a form of. Now, guys, here on life clips, not so much here on TikTok, but here on life clips, guys, you should know what form of means by now. It is an outward shape. Well, so literally it says holding to an outward shape of godliness, but you have nothing inside. So that means you're not born again. Holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power. What does that mean? What does that verse mean? It's power that's telling us about the Holy Spirit. So sorry to digress there, but that is our church age today. It's a shape, it's an outward shape, right? And I can list a whole gambit of people again as I do time and time and time again. So this is where this is now gonna get interesting. We are gonna read, and I'm just gonna read it very quickly here. And for this reason, what's the reason? Because of what we just read previously, remember? So when it says therefore, we want to go back to the previous verses. When it says for this reason, what reason you're asking that question, right? Clear and concise biblical hermeneutics. Let me just talk to TikTok if you guys don't mind, real quick. And you how you can test these teachers today. Clear biblical hermeneutics is this you always have to ask who, what, where, when, why, and how. Okay. You ask that when you're reading the Bible, you will always come to the right biblical interpretation. 99.9% of the time. Now, there are some gray areas, I get that, but you have to have biblical hermeneutics. If you don't have that, you're still gonna be deceived by the Bryce Crawfords and the Johnny Changs and all the deliverance people and the signs and wonders and the speaking in tongues, because you're not rightly dividing the word of God with who, what, where, when, why, and how. Okay. All right, let's move on. For this reason, again, why? For what this, uh, and I can't say the word because I am live here, but the the harlot, not only in the ecumenical system, but now also in this commerce antichrist system, has brought forth on the earth. They have deceived the people on the earth. And we're gonna see this, and this is why I I do what I do here on this podcast, because there's so many people who are deceived. People who even still subscribe to this channel are deceived. You're still buying into what all of these prophecy people say, and you and and you just don't want to dissect the truth. Or if you don't like what I say, then you leave the channel. So it is what it is. But I'm not gonna sugarcoat the word of God. I'm not gonna sugarcoat saying that we are in the last days, we are some deceptively deceived people and we don't want to hear the truth. Okay. For this reason, in one day, her plagues will come, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire. For the Lord God who judges her is strong. So I want to read this really quick quickly. The fact that her judgment comes in one day, it emphasizes in the Greek by being placed first in the sentence. Now, what's interesting, I'm reading the commentary, and I don't know what we can see, I got to get on that screen. This is the same contextually as what Daniel 5 says. The fall of Babylon in Daniel 5, which fell in the same hour. You guys all know who King Nebuchadnezzar is, right? Raised hands, we know who King Nebuchadnezzar is. Interestingly enough, the the um the fall of Babylon, which fell in the same hour that the finger traced on the wall. Remember when when it was written on the wall? Before morning, the ancient power of Babylon had been destroyed. Now, interesting. Again, we don't want to say that Babylon is Babylon, but we always connect it to the Old Testament. We realize, uh, wait, Babylon really is Babylon. So I just found that very interesting and I wanted to share that. Let's continue on with this. And let me first check any comments here on YouTube. Um, okay, so now let's go back. This part here, um, I'm just gonna kind of read through it. Now, I want to be very clear, both here on YouTube, and now everyone who's listening here on TikTok, I want to be very, very clear that we do not know. All we know is that we're going along today in our world. One day the church is going to be raptured, and then after that, the antichrist and the false prophet, they're, I believe both of them technically will be riding in on an ecumenical system, most of which are the Brandon Lakes and the Forrest Franks and the Philip Anthony Mitchells. And just go to my channel. I'm sure I'm upsetting people here on TikTok. You guys on YouTube already know. Um, and these people are going to be part of this ecumenical system. If you don't think that, then you're living under a rock somewhere. Because they're again, they all have a form of godliness. So now the church is raptured. This ecumenical system is starting. Why do why do I believe that that truly is first? Because there's going to be a spiritual vacuum, a hole left in people. People today want a spiritual enlightenment and spiritual encounter, a spiritual feeling. And if they're not getting that, they're going to find a way to get it, whether it be through drugs or drinking or sex or corn or um these fake deliverance movements, the fake charismatic and NAR and Pentecostal movements. They're they're seeking a spiritual high. That's all you're seeking is a spiritual high. And then when it gets fulfilled and then something else happens in your life, this is when you're deconstructing your faith and you walk away from the Lord. So, anyway, I find it interesting because the spiritual vacuum is going to be in the world. Another proof text um that the church will unequivocally be raptured before the seven-year tribulation, because we're not here, right? We're not, we this is what I don't like about the Kingdom Now theology, these NAR people who live in this fake apostolic age. Because we as a people, guys, I'm gonna be honest. So it doesn't matter if you're here on TikTok or here on YouTube, we can all agree. I, me, I cannot change anything. Okay, I can't cast anything out, I can't name it and proclaim it and I can't um affirm it, I can't do all these buzz terms that they say because I'm a nobody. What is the restrainer? The restrainer is not me and you, the restrainer is the Holy Spirit. When the restrainer is moved, pushed out of the way, because the restrainer is still going to be present. So, meaning the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit just doesn't vanish during the tribulation, it just works kind of like it did in the Old Testament. Remember when David would say, Do not take your Holy Spirit from me. So it kind of falls on people and then it leaves. Um, so with that being said, hence the whole reason for the day of Pentecost, if I can tell you biblically what that day meant. It was the permanent indwelling of the Holy Spirit. That's what the day of Pentecost is. It's the permanent indwelling on the church if you're truly born again, right? We have a permanent indwelling. That's why we're once saved, always saved, unlike Philip Anthony Mitchell, who does not teach that. But most charismatics, NAR, and Pentecostals don't believe in once saved, always saved. Um but anyway, so now with all of that babbling, and I'm sorry to digress there, the church is raptured, the ecumenical system starts. That's what the beast, we already covered that in Revelation 17 for many weeks. That's what he rides in on. Why is he riding in on that? Because we need some form of spiritual whatever to you know seal up that spiritual size hole that was left when we are gone. Another proof text of the rapture. And then this during the seven years, the first three and a half years, guys, I want you guys to hear me on this. Please hear me. The first three and a half years, there is a pseudo-piece. Now I understand that the second seal, it is very clear from the book of Revelation that when the seal is broken, peace is removed from the earth. If you guys don't know what I'm talking about, right here, right? So this one here would be the Antichrist. I looked and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow and a crown was given to him. This is not Jesus, it's a completely different um view of Jesus at the end of Revelation. And he went out conquering and to conquer. So he had a bow but no arrows, meaning he comes on peace. There, right now, so there's peace going, there's peace right now. When he broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come. And another, a red horse, went out to him who sat on it. It was granted to take peace. I've got that highlighted for a reason. So therefore, if you're taking peace, that means what? Peace had already been established. So I hope that makes sense there. So now when we get into Revelation 18, this is where it gets interesting because we think that the first half of the tribulation, and now hear me, guys, there's seals, right? The earth is gonna be, you know, going through a lot of things. It's gonna be burning, uh, there's gonna be wars, famines, pestilence. We get that. However, in the second half of the tribulation, there's going to be within the Antichrist system luxury and richness. Why do you think people will willingly follow after the beast to take the mark or worship his image? Because that is where they're storing, if I could put it that way, their food and their goods. And we're gonna hear this tonight. I don't know where we've come to this pre-conceived um idea that yes, there's going to be people starving during the seven years. There's going to be people losing their life over some of these seals and the trumpets. However, there's going to be a very rich people and peoples, kings of the earth, humanity gathering. Around in Babylon. And it makes sense here, and we're going to read this. For this reason, in one day her plagues will come, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire. For the Lord God who judges her is strong. Here we go. And the kings of the earth who committed acts of immorality and lived sensuously, again, kind of mirrors, right? The Laodicean church in Revelation chapter three, with her will weep and lament over her when they see the smoke of her burning, standing at a distance because of the fear of her torment, saying, Whoa, whoa, the great city, Babylon. I highlighted that because Babylon, again, is a Babylon. It's not Rome, it's not New York, it's not LA, it's not America. Because again, America is not a city, it's a country. The strong city. For in one hour, now notice I highlighted the one hour there. Your judgment will come. And I found this very interesting. In Luke, chapter, let me click that. Um he said, let me go there, please. I just it dawned on me when I was doing this. Let me see if I can find this. Hold on two seconds, guys. Very, very interesting. I know you guys can see what I'm doing, right? Um, so in Luke chapter, I don't know the chapter, I know the verse. It's verse 37, and it says, Um, and when he came, meaning Jesus, and found them sleeping, he said to

[Ad] The Bride of Christ Podcast

SPEAKER_02 25:47

Peter, Simon, are you asleep? So I don't know why it's not doing it. I know it's in Luke. Okay, um, it's in Mark. And he came and found them sleeping and said to Peter, Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for what? One hour. I just found that interesting. It has nothing to

(Cont.) The Fall of Babylon | 308

SPEAKER_02 26:10

do with Revelation 18. I just find it interesting that in one hour judgment will come. And now, here, this is describing now, for those who are on TikTok, this is now describing the richness that is going to be in the city of Babylon. And it's also describing what this antichrist system is really all about, why people are going to get a tattoo, or as I don't call it, I don't think it's a tattoo, but a mark on their right hand or their forehead. And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes anymore. Now, cargoes, as you guys know, a third of the ships, right? So when we're looking back on Revelation, there's seals and trumpets. And at one point, a third of the ships are destroyed. I don't know if you guys are aware of that. Very interesting, though, not all ships are destroyed. So when I'm thinking about, not that it's have anything to do with it, but the Strait of Hormout right now. I'm I know I'm not saying that right. Closed, not closed, open, not open, whatever. Things are gonna be destroyed in the sea. If you think that we're not getting gas now, what's gonna be like in the seven-year tribulation? Cargoes of gold and silver. Guys, how do you think this stuff is gonna be transported to Babylon? The shipping industry. It's not gonna go away. I think we have this again, this notion in our head that everyone's just gonna be digging up slug bugs to eat. That is not the case. Okay, there's going to be a rich center of commerce on the behest of the devil himself, if I could be honest, but the Antichrist, and that's why the system is created. So we don't know. I was ready to say his name, but I won't. So the person who I saw on TikTok, a very, very popular prophecy teacher. So no, Mr. Blank, you don't know. So anyway, it says cargoes. Now, this guy, listen to how rich this city is. Let me just check again comments here. Um, so I saw here, Kathy said, I've wondered about the hour and what it meant for years, and no one can answer me. So the hour, we really don't know. Is it a physical hour? I tend to believe it is, and that's why I found that interesting, Kathy. That in um, hello, always Judith. I don't think I've ever seen you here. So welcome. Um, I don't think when Jesus said, can you not watch for one hour, he didn't mean like, can you not watch for 15 minutes? I believe one hour is one hour. And we're gonna get there, Kathy, and hopefully you'll see uh what it's about um here. So let me just read the richness of the Antichrist system. Cargoes of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls and fine linen, purple and silk and scarlet, and every kind of citron wood and every article of ivory and every article made from very costly wood and bronze and iron and marble. Yes, I'm reading fast for a reason. I mean, we can see it on the screen, and cinnamon and spice and incense, perfume, frankincense. Amazon Prime is gonna be buzzing up in Babylon, okay? And wine and olive oil and fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, cargoes of horses and chariots and slaves and human lives. Very interesting, don't you think? Very interesting. I'm not gonna even attempt to dissect that. Where the Bible is silent, we shall be silent. But clearly there's going to be slave trade, and there's also gonna be human lives on cargo ships. Guys, remember what I said? I'll just say this. In Revelation 17, with this ecumenical system, I was very clear that when the rapture happens, I truly and honestly believe that the Brandon Lakes and the Forrest Franks and the Philip Anthony Mitchells and the Greg Locks and all these other false teachers, they're gonna be over there. They're not gonna be here, they're gonna be over there. And they're going to maybe bring people over on cargo ships, cruise ships, whatever the case may be, to get them to go to Babylon. Should you be left behind and all of a sudden your favorite little false teacher or your favorite little fake Christian contemporary music worship artist, all of a sudden they're giving away raffle tickets to go join them. How many people are probably gonna do that a lot? I think you probably would. Because you're following them now deceptively, you're gonna follow them that much more when the rapture happens, and now you're really gonna be deceived. And the Bible is clear that at the second point of the tribulation, at that point, God Himself is gonna send a strong delusion. Why is he sending that strong delusion? He's sending the strong delusion because they didn't believe the truth. That's when I believe that the proverbial door is closed. Tribulation saints are now gonna be unalived. The two witnesses have gone to heaven. However, through that, there's still two angels proclaiming the everlasting gospel. And I believe they're doing that because people are just not listening. It's very sad. It's very, it's gonna be a very scary time. One that it's hard for us to fathom as human beings because we want to touch, right? This is, I wanna. I wanna, I can feel that, I can touch that, I can see myself on the camera. I see the microphone. We we have our phones, right? These are the things that are we we can touch, they're tangible. It's very hard for us to fathom being here. I could sit here at 7:35 here on June 26th, and then a half a millisecond from now, being sucked up and going up to heaven. That's hard for us to fathom, guys. Let's just be real on that. It's hard for us in this mortal brain to understand eternity, to understand that we are going to, without a shadow of a doubt, be sitting in the presence of our Savior. Should we truly be born again? Should we uh be unalived or fly? I mean, but it's hard for us to fathom that. Like, what is that gonna look like? Am I gonna feel myself being raptured? You know, the Bible is very clear to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. What is it gonna look like? So let us be real, right? Like, I believe it wholeheartedly. I believe in a pre-trib rapture. Biblically, it is proven. However, what is it gonna look like? You know, and sometimes you say, Can that really happen? Like, that's so weird. But remember, we serve a God. We serve a God who exists outside of time and space. So, anyway, um, so again, the the human lives, cargo ships, slaves, what is happening at this moment? People are now being shipped, shipped over to Babylon. America, hear me, is just not important. I want us to understand that. Stop putting America on this grandiose pedestal. It means nothing when the rapture happens. Let's continue. The fruit you long for has gone from you, and all the things that were luxurious and splendid have passed away from you, and men will no longer find them. The merchants of these things who became rich from her. So there's commerce that's still working in the city of Babylon. There's people still gaining wealth in the tribulation. Got it? So these merchants will stand at a distance because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning, saying, Whoa, woe, the great city. She who was clothed, remember the description of her in Revelation 17, was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls. Here you go again, Kathy. For in one hour, why is it repeated again? Because I believe the one hour is a physical, literal one hour, and I'm gonna prove it again. For in one hour, such great wealth has been laid waste. And every shipmaster and every pat, so guys, there's cargo. That's how we're getting across the seas. And I find it interesting that a third of the seas and then become blood, right? And then what happens on the plagues, and we're gonna get there here very quickly tonight, the the final wrath, the bowls of God's judgment. Okay, that's what happens. All the seas turn to blood. Very interesting, don't you think? Because a ship cannot drive through blood. Who controls the world? Who was the creator of the world? It is not me, it is not you, it is not you, it is God. And if He created everything, He in a split second can also make every sea turn to blood. It stops in one hour, it stops. So, anyway, so every passenger and sailor, and as many as make their living by the sea, guys. Do you notice the theme here? What is the theme? The theme is not sitting in America chilling in some secret little place. Not that there's not gonna be. I mean, I I have stuff here where I live in case, you know, maybe this place doesn't fall to the ground, you know, or maybe they can survive for a little bit or, you know, whatever. We all have our little rapture notes and Bibles and canned goods. But anyway, the the theme here is the sea. And isn't it interesting? The Antichrist comes up out of the sea. However, I'm not saying he's Arabic, I don't believe he's uh um Muslim at all. Um, I do believe he's a gentile, you know, uh, or he could be Jewish anyway. I don't want to lean on that either. But anyway, making their living by the sea, stood at a distance and were crying out as they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like the great city? So things here, guys, this is where we have to understand. Biblical hermeneutics, common sense, if I can say that, just simple common sense. What is mentioned here? City, one hour, being rich. Guys, these are words that are in here. We don't need to add to it or write some fancy book and make it something that it's not. All right, God is not that complex. He's not gonna be like, I'm gonna tell him it's a city, but really, I mean it's a country. I'm gonna tell him it's Babylon, but really it's Rome. Um come on, that's not how God is, right? Anyway, I highlighted this part here, and they threw dust on their heads and were crying out, weeping. The only reason I highlighted that, and again, there's no commentaries that say it, there's no um proof of it, but you guys understand there's a remnant of um in Israel who is saved. Where are they saved at? They are in Revelation 12, they are protected for three and a half years. However, there is a remnant of people in Israel, Jewish people, who don't make it through. You guys get that, right? Not all of Israel will be saved. It's a remnant. And I found that very interesting, hence the reason I highlighted it, because nobody else, right? They remember they the prophets, they dressed in sackcloth and ashes. If you think about Jeremiah, him lamenting, or Ezekiel or Daniel, or in the Old Testament, and you read things, what did they always do? They threw dust on their heads and were lamenting. I just find it interesting that that same terminology is used. So, as I've stated before, I believe that there's gonna be a two-part system here. The bulk of it's gonna happen in Babylon, but then there's also gonna be stuff happening in Jerusalem. And I believe there are gonna be some Jewish people here in Babylon. Just guys, hear me on this. Just as they were enticed, the Jewish people, the nation of Israel, by the Gentile nations in the Old Testament, I believe that enticement is going to resurrect. And I'm gonna read something at the end because we're almost done here from commentary that I found extremely, extremely interesting. So, Kathy, there's that word again. I don't know if you're still here. So they're weeping, they're lamenting, saying, Whoa, whoa, the great city in which all who had ships at sea became rich by her wealth. So clearly there's cargo ships. That is, oh man, can we not see it? That is how it's going to happen. We just have to keep the Bible and its simplicity. There's going to be some type of commerce with water, getting people over there by boat. Guys, if you're here in America and you're left behind and you're following all of these false fake Christians, heed my words, please heed my words. Remember this conversation. Remember this fool sitting here on YouTube and TikTok telling you this. And then all of a sudden you're like, wait a second, there was that crazy grandma live on June 26th, 2026. I don't think I want to go over there. I think I'm gonna just stay here in America, whatever country you may be in, and I'm gonna go ahead. And if I don't make it, I don't make it. And in that moment, may you put your faith and trust in Christ alone. Anyway, for in one hour, Kathy. So how many times is that right now? That's three times, right? That we saw one hour. Three times. So clearly, I believe one hour means one hour. What I love about the word of God and how you debunk these prophecy teachers, false teachers. God is being repetitive for a reason because he knew that we would be sitting here in 2026 with some crazy people, just not even rightly dividing the word of God. And even in these prophecy circles, not rightly dividing the word of God. So over and over, great city, a city, one hour, one hour. Why? She's wealthy. Okay, so verse 20, rejoice. Now, this part right here is so beautiful. We sitting here on planet earth, right? I'm sure we get it all the time as true Christians who call out shenanigans. By the way, if you're misquoting Matthew 7, don't judge, don't judge nobody. That has to do with false teachers and not us, right? Because it says what? If you do the same things that they do from that measurement is what you'll be judged by, correct? I think we can get a raised hand or an amen in the chat. Meaning, if I am a false teacher, but I'm judging another false teacher, guys, we hear it all the time. By that measurement, I'm going to be judged by, but I'm not a false teacher. I rightly divide God's word. The passage the church should go to is 1 Corinthians chapter 15, where it tells us, you know, what business do I have judging an outsider? Are we not to judge those within the church? We absolutely are. Okay. Anyway, verse 20 is so beautiful. Rejoice over her, oh heaven. Let's just stop and pause. This is the mid-half. This is another proof text that hear me. We are raptured before the seven-year tribulation. We are raptured before the seven-year tribulation. Proof text here in Revelation 18, verse 20. We are in heaven. We have been in heaven the entire time. However, there is a group of people added here, the saints. Who are the saints? Is that us? No, it's tribulation saints. Or we can say it could be us. However, I don't think so. Why? Because it says, oh heaven. I believe that's us, the angels, right? And you saints. Stop and pause. Tribulation saints, the church saints. Sure, collectively. And apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced judgment for you against her. Why is God pronouncing judgment for us against her? Guys, I read that verse a couple of weeks ago here on the podcast, and I found it very, very exciting for us. We sit in this world today where nobody wants to be called out on anything. We all just want to sit in our sin, do what we do. Don't tell me what to do. Don't judge, don't judge, don't judge, don't judge. Who are you to judge? You're so self-righteous. You got a religious spirit. I've heard it all, right? However, that's what I am going through today, dealing with and calling out false hoods. This is my moment. It doesn't say weep over her, oh heaven. It doesn't say be angry over her, oh heaven. It says rejoice. Guys, while we're in heaven, we are going to be seeing what's happening on the earth during the seven-year tribulation. I unequivocally believe that. I believe John saw it. We're going to see it. Whatever it looks like through that heavenly vision, right? We're going to see it in a way that we can't see it here in flesh and blood. Rejoice over her, O heaven. Why? Because the judgment for you against her, this ecumenical system, this antichrist system, guys, this has been going on since Genesis. And I'm going to read that here at the end. This has been going on. This is an exciting time. I know it doesn't sound like it, but this is an exciting time for us as believers, knowing that, guys, this isn't for us who are truly fighting for the faith, right? For all of us who are out there and we're exposing and we're sharing the gospel. This verse is for us. We are going to rejoice while we are in heaven because God is finally going to judge the planet like He should. We want someone to judge the grapist. We want someone to judge the person who unalives people. But yet, the other little things we don't want anyone to judge us on. Those silent secret sins, right? But God sees all. God keeps the books. I don't keep the books. God sees everything. If you don't realize that, you might want to get a clue tonight. God sees everything, He knows every thought. So that's the whole point of the gospel, right? And I'm going to share that here tonight. Anyway, so God has pronounced judgment for us against her. Then a strong angel. So notice how many angels so far. We had in the beginning of this is the third angel now introduced in Revelation chapter 18. In the beginning, we had one of the angels with the seals. Then we had, hold on, let me go up so I don't misspeak. Okay. So in 17, I didn't misspeak. That's what I thought. We had one of the seven angels who had the bowls start to. Speak. Chapter 18, there was another angel who came down out of heaven. That's why I said, I believe one, two, and three are still part of the ecumenical. Then we heard this voice. It wasn't an angel. So we heard a voice. And then when we get down here to 21, then we hear about this strong angel. So another angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it in the sea. Why would he throw it in the sea? To destroy the city, saying, So will be Babylon. Now, this is very interesting. Can I just ask a question? If this is New York, and you let's not say sea, usually when sea is mentioned in the Bible, it's referring to the Mediterranean Sea. So, but if this is Chicago, is there a sea around Chicago? Uh no. Um, it now, LA, sure, it's close to the ocean, right? New York, close to the Atlantic. America is surrounded by water on you know, three of its sides. But let me isn't 21 kind of telling us Babylon is Babylon? Then a strong angel, let me take this away here. Then a strong angel uh took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it in the sea, saying, So will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down with violence and will not be found any longer. Now, very interesting in Bible, Old Testament, the city of Babylon was not truly utterly destroyed. And I do agree with commentary on this when I believe it is a future. When when we read about Babylon being destroyed, I believe it's a future event that would be during this time here, because Babylon has never been fully destroyed. It will be during this time. Now, this is where it gets beautiful, and the sound of harpists and music musicians can't speak, and flute players and trumpeters will not be heard in you any longer. Okay, and no craftsmen of any craft will be found in you any longer, and the sound of a mill. So, guys, they're also working. There's a lot of things going on in Babylon during the second half, will not be heard in you, and the light of a lamp will not shine in you any longer, and the voice of the bridegroom and the bride will not be heard in you any longer, for your merchants were the great men of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery. And that word is exactly what it means. Okay, this demonic influence. Right now, very interesting when it says the voice of the bridegroom and the bride. I take that because commentary really doesn't say what that could allude to, but the voice of the bridegroom and the bride. I truly believe that this is where the tribulation saints, and maybe that's where the slaves, I don't know. Maybe that's where the slaves of the human lives come into play because there's stuff going on in the planet during the seven years. There's two witnesses, it's 144,000 Jews. There are tribulation saints that are proclaiming them, I guarantee you the gospel. And all of a sudden, so the bridegroom and the bride, there's that heavenly message being proclaimed, the light of the lamp, so everything is gonna go dark. This is how we have to see this, right? Why? Because they martyred tribulation saints, they unalive two witnesses who we all know resurrect three and a half days later, and the nations were deceived. So this part here, and I do believe, I don't know if he's in the chat because I haven't looked. This is where Daniel, and I do agree, America is in that, Australia is in that, Canada is in that, right? The nations were deceived by the sorcering, by the demonic influencer. And in her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints and of all who had been slain on the earth. So a couple of things. Let's go back really quick. Um, chapter 12 here in Revelation is not a sign. So for anyone on TikTok, I know you guys probably hear this and it's not, but before I do that, let me check comments here. Um let's see. So Kathy said in Revelation 3:10, when it talks about us keeping from keeping us from the hour of wrath is fulfilled in in what you're reading tonight. Um, I believe that hour, because it doesn't say one hour, Kathy. I believe the hour is a descriptive for the hour meaning um the tribulation. And I know that's kind of contradictory, but I believe Revelation 3.10 is talking about um the tribulation there. Hopefully that helps you out, girl. All right. So this Revelation chapter 12, when it talks about a great sign appeared. All of this, and I'm not gonna get into a big theological lesson here tonight. This is the same description of Joseph. This is just talking about Israel. It's not talking about Venus connecting with Leo and rubbing his nose and jumping on a horse and going flying away. It has nothing to do with that. This is everything about Israel. And then when you get down here, um, it says here, then the woman fled. That's where I need to get out of. Then the woman fled into the wilderness where she had a place prepared for her. Where's the she? It's Israel. This isn't the Mother Mary either, so that she would be nourished for 1,260 days. That is the second half of the tribulation. You guys get that? Okay. And then it goes on here. Now I want to bring up very, very quickly Revelation 13. Revelation 13, the first, I believe, 10 verses talk about the beast or the Antichrist. And then the last passages, 11 through whatever, talk about the false prophet. And very interesting here, right? He stood on the sand of the seashore.

unknown 52:37

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 52:39

This is where Bible dot connecting moments will come into play here tonight. Babylon is a city. If you look where Babylon is, it is a port city. Now, in my line of work, I know a lot about port cities where I live. It's a port city. Seattle would be classified as a what? A port city. You've got um Portland is a port city. So if you think about wherever you live, that's your near water, you're gonna have a port city. Okay. A lot of unfortunate trafficking goes on over there. But I find it interesting that this second half of the tribulation, the dragon, as we all know, is Satan. He stood on the sand of the seashore, and that's when we saw the beast coming up out of the sea. Let's stop and pause. Okay, I want to connect some dots here tonight. Let's go to 2 Thessalonians chapter 2. So the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him. This right here is the coming of the Lord, right? And one part is the second coming, and in its totality is the second coming. But that one part that we kind of get tripped up about is the rapture. So in our gathering to him, this right here is, it can be rapture, right? But it's also second coming. So now it says that you don't be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed by either a spirit or a message or a letter, as if it's from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one in any way deceive you, for it, what is that? The it is the day of the Lord, will not come unless the apostasy comes first. So again, I've I went through this before. You can't be, let no one in any way deceive you, for the rapture will not come unless the rapture happens first. It doesn't make any sense. And the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes. So this verse right here, I believe the apostasy has to happen first. Then the man of lawlessness is revealed. Now, let's do a doc connecting moment here. In Revelation chapter six, he is not described, he's described as a rider on a white horse. The word beast is not even used there. That's why people think, is that Jesus Christ? Well, absolutely not. Let me turn and prove to you why.

SPEAKER_00 55:21

It is.

SPEAKER_02 55:39

Okay. This right here. I love when the Bible stays in context. And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. Same as we just read in Revelation 6, right? And he who sat on it is called faithful and true. Not the same description in Revelation 6 that we just read. And in righteousness he judges and wages war. That's not the description in Revelation. I'll read it. His eyes are a flame of fire, and his on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written on him, which no one knows except for himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and his name is called the Word of God. Verse 14, if we can get a hallelujah on that, that's us. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following him on white horses. That's us. From his mouth came a sharp sword, so that with it he may strike down the nations and he will rule them. Now let's go back. Let's go back. Then I saw the lamb broke. Who's the lamb? That's Jesus. So the lamb broke one of the seven seals. Wouldn't he have said, I looked and behold the lamb? No, a white horse. And he, not capitalized, not Jesus, who sat on it, had a bow. Well, Jesus doesn't have a bow, he has a sword. Isn't that what we just read? Okay. And a crown was given to him. A crown is not given to Jesus. He's already crowned. And he went out conquering and to conquer. That is not what we read in any way, shape, or form. What does it say? And I saw heaven open and behold a white horse, and he who sat on it is called faithful and true. And in righteousness he judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems. He's not crowned. We're not crowning him. He's already crowned. Let's go back to chapter 13. This is when the Antichrist, the indwelling, Satan is now standing on where? Let's go back to chapter 12. Yep, chapter 13. Satan is standing on the sand, excuse me, of the seashore. Then I saw a beast. Who gives the Antichrist authority? Satan. But he's not giving him that authority the first three and a half years. What is giving the beast his platform, so to speak? What? It's the ecumenical, false religious system. Remember? We got that. We did all of this. So hold on. He carried me away in the spirit into a wilderness, and there's some thunder out there. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast. That's it, guys. Come on, we have to keep scripture in context. So now the beast is coming up out of the sea. Do you see these dot connecting moments? If I could just please, I know I ask this all the time, and I never get it. If I could just get a great dot connecting moment, biblical dot connecting moment, not Kim. This is how you keep scripture in context, and you get out of all the squirrely little theories that are out there. So the beast is coming up out of the sea. Where is the sea located? It is located in Babylon. You guys get that, right? Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were seven diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names. Now it goes into a description of the Antichrist, which is also parallel. And I saw your comment there on TikTok. So it doesn't say Antichrist, but the beast is definitely Antichrist, uh, Jay Collins, when you compare it with Daniel. But great question. And the beast, which I saw, was like a leopard, and it goes into his description, which is parallel to what we've read previously. Okay. Now I saw one of his heads as if had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast. Very, very important here. Again, guys, we've discussed this time and time and time again here. The first half of the tribulation, there are going to be people who will unalive this beast who rode in on this ecumenical system. We also know that the ecumenical system comes to an end. Why? How? Because this now, verse three, takes place. Okay. They worship the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast, and they worship the beast, saying who was like the beast and who was able to wage war with him. Now, I wanted to read this because now we're going to go down to verse 11, where the false prophet is always, always ignored. All we ever care about is the Antichrist. Let's talk about the Antichrist. Let's talk about the system and the mark of the beast. But yeah, we never want to talk about the false prophet. We never want to talk about this ecumenical system. Then I saw another beast. So clearly it's someone different, and we'll show it here, connect it with the Bible here. Coming up out of the earth. Notice it's not the sea. So wherever this beast is, uh this false prophet is coming from, it's out of the earth, which is humanity. And he had two horns like a lamb, shows his religious side, but his mouth he spoke as a dragon. So he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. So we can't do anything without being in the presence of the beast. Now, here, and he makes the whole earth and those who dwell in it, and I went through this, and I'm also going to go through it in my book. Um, in it, in the system to worship the first beast whose fatal wound was healed. Now, this is why the charismatic movement, the Pentecostal movement, the NAR movement, the deliverance movement, this is why I truly believe they're going to be part of this system, because they've already been deceived. Now, the second half of the tribulation, this false prophet is now going to be performing great signs. So much so that what does it say here? He even makes fire come down out of heaven in the presence of men. Now, what does verse 14 say? And he deceives those because of what? Because of the signs. Guys, this is why I do what I do here on this podcast. This is why my channel is the way that it is on TikTok. I don't want you to be deceived any longer by the Brandons and the Johnnies and the Bryce Crawford's and the Forrest Franks and the Philip Anthony Mitchell's and all of these other people. I don't want you to be deceived by that. Because when this happens and you're left behind, should you make it to the second half, it's too late for you. It's too late. Because of the signs which was given to him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword. Now, here is very interesting. Now remember, what do we just read about in Revelation 18? We read about this rich commerce place in this city of Babylon. And he causes all the small and the great, the rich and the poor, the free men and the slaves. Did we not read about slaves on a ship? To be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell except for the one who has the mark. Either, what is the mark? It's either the name of the beast or the number of his name. That's what it is. Let's not read into it. So, and that's how we get to uh it being 666. So whoever the Antichrist is, and I'm not gonna sit here and figure that out, um, his name will equal the number of that of a man, and his number is 666. So, as we finished out here in chapter 18, piggybacking off of 17. So these are kind of like a pause in the action chapters. Chapter 17, as we have discussed, you guys are more than welcome to go to my YouTube channel and see that. That is the ecumenical system. This is this fake spiritual system. We're seeing it today in our church today. It is definitely here, this apostasy that the beast rides in on. And then chapter 18 is now showing the judgment. So chapter 17 showed us this ecumenical system, uh, this coexist system. And now 18, and it was destroyed, not by God, though, but by the kings of the earth who are partnering with the beast. And then in chapter 18, now it is going through what? The Antichrist's system that he set up for commerce. I believe the worship takes place in both Babylon and perhaps even in Jerusalem. We do know that, because again, nowhere in the Bible does it say the Antichrist is going to be, quote, worshipped. What it says is that he goes into the third temple to proclaim himself as God. That doesn't mean that they're worshiping him there, okay? Anyway, I believe everything is gonna happen in Babylon. The erecting of the uh the image um to this commerce, I believe it's all gonna happen there. So anyway, what I wanted to read here, though, uh, let me get to it. Um, I have it on the screen. Okay. So let me, I'm gonna get out of all of this. And I want to bring this over here so TikTok can also see it. Okay. This section here that is a little small. Let me kind of zoom that in a little bit. Okay. So hopefully you guys can see that there on TikTok. I just want to read this. Let me make sure it's up here on YouTube as well. Um hey Daniel. He said, love the Bible study in the book of Revelation. God bless everyone here in the chat room with Sister Kim. Well, you're welcome. I you know I love doing this. I agree with you, Sister Kim. Many deceived right now. So many people think Jesus has already come back. Oh, yeah, it's like everywhere on TikTok right now that the seals have been open, and I just can't help but laugh. All right, so this little section here, I'm gonna undo those notes here. Um I gotta make this a little smaller. Hold on, guys. Just give me a second. Because remember, I'm streaming here on TikTok, and I want to make sure that they can read it as well. We gotta be kind to our TikTok family. So I'm gonna have to do this. Give me a second. Let me get back in. All right, let me move this. I love the sound of thunder. All right, you guys are gonna have to deal with that right there, that tiny little thing on TikTok. So, Evie, hello, welcome to TikTok. Sorry, guys, I'm also on YouTube. She said, I'm enjoying the Bible study. First time tuning in. Amen. Thank you. Um, and Pinky Lewis said it's no laughing matter. Absolutely, I agree. Um, well, if you guys are here, please go ahead and share this live so other people can tune in. Um, I am going to be staying with the TikTok world when I'm done here with YouTube, if anyone has any questions. Jay Collins, I don't know if you're still here. Um, you just said what, why? And I know a lot of people land where you do, Jay, um, about the Antichrist. Christ. So um okay, so ascension, true enlightenment. You you believe in fake new age, but that's fine. That's again, that's why when the true church is raptured, you guys want a spiritual enlightenment. Um true enlightenment comes from those who teach us how to think, not what to think. So the Bible is gonna teach us all the truth, so you can do that or not. Evie said it's very serious. So many people think they have so much time. I agree, Evie. I do. So what I found very interesting here is um in this, uh let me guys. I'm trying to get this for you all. Hold on. Can I move that? There we go. All right, let's just do that for now. All right, I want to read this. I found this very interesting. Again, Babylon is Babylon. It always has been. It's it's literally, it began at the Tower of Babel, Babel, and it's gonna end in the book of Revelation. Okay, so this is what again I'm reading from uh the revelation of Jesus Christ. Uh this is John Walverod's book. There is an obvious parallel in the rise and fall of Babylon in its varied forms in scripture, as introduced in Genesis 11, which is the tower of Babel. We know that, right? Now the whole earth used the same language, da-da-da-da-da. Okay, as introduced in Genesis 11, 1 through 9, Babylon historically symbolized by the tower reaching to heaven. Actually, here you go, Ascension. This is for you. You came in at the perfect time. Maybe the Lord wants you to hear this truth from his word, because there's only Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Okay. So Babylon historically symbolized by the tower reaching to heaven, proposed to maintain the union of the world through a common worship and a common tongue. God defeated this purpose by confusing the language and scattering the people. Babylon, I'm right here, guys. You know I can't say that word, so that fancy word right there, symbolized by the woman in Revelation 17. We've already discussed that, proposes a common worship and a common religion through the uniting in a world church. How are you feeling so far, Ascension? This is going to be you if you don't hear the truth sooner or later. This is destroyed by the beast in Revelation 17, 16. Who is the beast? That would be the Antichrist, who thus fulfills the will of God. Babylon, politically symbolized by the great city of Revelation 18, attempts to achieve its domination of the world by a world common market and a world government. They are destroyed by Christ at his second coming, and we read that in Revelation 19. The triumph of God is therefore witnessed historically in the scattering of the people and the unfinished tower of uh Genesis 11, and prophetically in the destruction of the world church by killing of the killing of the harlot. I don't know, I think there's a typo there, in Revelation 17. So your system ascension will be destroyed. And in the destruction of the city, city, city, city in Revelation 18, with the graphic description of the fall of Babylon contained in chapters 17 and 18, the way is cleared for the presentation of the major theme of the book of Revelation, the second coming of Christ and the establishment of his glorious kingdom. So as we end here tonight with um this amazing book, because that's what Revelation is. It's an amazing book, it's not full of fables and fake stories. It is an amazing book. Anyway, so with that being said, um, I am off for the next two weeks on Friday. I will not be here on July 3rd, nor will I be here the following Friday on July 10th. I am taking my summer time, um, much needed summer time, and I will not be here. So, as always, I don't have many viewers here in the chat. Again, I don't understand why, but it is what it is. Um, so with that being said, YouTube, you guys can stay here on TikTok. YouTube, I am leaving. If you want to continue with the conversation, you can follow me on TikTok. It's my same name, life clips underscore podcast. So if you're on TikTok, head on over there. I'm gonna start doing some questions with the people there on TikTok and see what we can talk about. Anyway, guys, have an amazing evening until I see everyone here there for YouTube, TikTok stay. Um, for everyone, I will see you here there or in the air. Jesus is coming. Bye.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:57

Titus chapter two, verse thirteen. Looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus.
