Open your Bibles if you would to Isaiah chapter 29. Isaiah chapter
29 reads verse one. "Woe to Ariel. To Ariel the city which David,
where David dwelt." Where he lived. "Add ye year to year and let
them kill sacrifices." You let time go on over and over and over and
let those holy days come to pass and keep celebrating them. But what
God is letting you know is sooner or later time is running out.
Gonna be time for a little change. So, and, and this is what--you
know God utilizes this. And you know, if, if they're killing
sacrifices, what are they doing? They're worshipping God.
Supposedly. They're, they're talking religion here. Okay? He
said, `you just keep it up year after year.' And let her go there.
Well, look at Jerusalem down through the years. The wars. Rumors of
wars. Anxieties.
Verse two. "Yet I will distress Ariel and there shall be heaviness
and sorrow. And it shall be unto me as Ariel." Now here you have to
pick up on the dual meaning. In other words let me, let me just
reread that and translate it for you what God is saying here. Okay?
Yet I will distress Jerusalem the city of God. And there shall be
heaviness and sorrow and it shall be unto me as the hearth of my
furnace. The hearth of my altar. In other words, I'm going to do
some refining there. I'm going to pour the cup of wrath out. I'm
going to straighten some people out. I'm going to get their
attention. That's what it, go ahead year after year keep on playing
your sacrifices to me. But make sure they align with God's Word.
That's what He's saying and meaning.
Verse three. "And I will camp against thee round about and will lay
seige against thee with a mount. And I will raise forts against
thee." It means I'm going to conquer you. That geographical
location. I'm going to take it over. I'm going to do it in. that is
to say, as far that that is bad is concerned. Here is where weak
minded people say `that scares me, that frightens me.' Well God's
not angry at you. He's not talking to you here. He's talking to
those that play church. Those that like to play sacrifice and yet
they don't mean it. And they don't, (pm interrupts himself) David
I've got a little bit of a ring. Can you give me a little adjustment
there. (goes back to lecture). Those that play church. In that
simply don't get around to serving God with their hearts to mean it.
To take it seriously. To love Him. Not be afraid of Him. He's not
angry with you when you try. When you love Him. You don't have, you
don't have one iota of fear that you should have aligned to his
fire. Even though it be a consuming fire for some. To you it's the
Holy Spirit. Have you ever felt the Holy Spirit? All it does is
gently warms your heart, your mind, and leads you. That's all you
have to fear from God. But if you're wicked, then watch out. Burnee,
burnee. Okay? That's what He's talking about here. I'm going to, I'm
going to change some things. Okay? For those that keep burning
sacrifices given to Me, buying their way out. So forth. Okay?
Verse four. "And thou shalt be brought down and shall speak out of
the ground. And thy speech shall be low out of the dust. And thy
voice shall be as of one that hath a familiar spirit out of the
ground. And thy speech shall whisper out of the dust." Its going to
twitter. Peep, peep, peep, peep nice religious things. You're going
to be lower than a snake's belly. That's what He's saying. Let me
just put it in good old Arkansas language. He's saying you're going
to be one sad sack because I'm bringing it down on you and you're
not going to, you're going to be ashamed. And one that speaks with a
familiar spirit, do you know what that is? That's demonics. Letting
evil spirits enter into your family and around it. And you're
supposed to be a Christian? And you allow it? When God has given you
power over Satan and over all of his operations, his, his little
buddies? And you don't take advantage of it? You just let them
romp? `Well they're just watching us do sacrifices.' O, are they?
Well, you are supposed to take charge. Be can do type people. Don't
put up with stuff. `Yes, but Christians are supposed to be
forgiving.' Not to Satan! Who taught you that kind of stuff? You're
forgiving to your loved ones, to your family and people that try,
that are trying to do better. BUT YOU DON'T SHOW KINDNESS TO SATAN.
He'll eat you alive. Okay? So beware of familiar spirits. They're
kind of trying to come back into the world today. And watch that
whispering, you know. There's nothing hidden from God. And when
they, especially if they whisper out of the dust. Okay? That's kind
of like when somebody's supposed to go back to dust-- you want to
talk to them? Of course not. Not from the dust you don't.
Verse six. "Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of Hosts with thunder
and with earthquakes" have you ever wondered about those seven
thunders in the book of Revelation? They're coming. "and great noise
and storm and tempest and the flame of devouring fire" and that
flame of devouring fire is our Father. So what are you worried
about? If you say you are worried about God then I feel sorry for
you. You just don't understand His love toward you when you serve
Him. He's not going to let something bother you. He's going to take
care of it that that you can't. He expects, he expects you to stomp
little ants yourself. That that you can take care of. Okay? Don't
let them get into your sugar. Okay? And you'll do fine. But what you
can't take care of, He'll take care of it for you. Okay? That is if
you love Him. That's up to you. You can play church all you want to,
but leave His word out of the equation and allow familiar spirits to
bring strange doctrines into your mind, and you're a lost soul. God
will cut you off like (pause) He didn't want you. And do you know
something? He wouldn't.
Verse seven. "And the multitude of all the nations that fight
against Ariel" and here we have to translate it Jerusalem, or Israel
even if you would "and even all that fight against her and her
munitions and that distress her shall be as a dream of a night
vision." It, all its going to amount to is its going to like to seem
like all of her enemies is like they, it was a bad dream. Why? God
is going to take care of business. He's going to clean house. Don't
ever waste your time worrying or being frightened of what the future
brings. You have the promises. You have the guarantee in the Son
that He loves you. And that He will take care of you, and that's
exactly the way you should treat the fear in your heart of the
Consuming Fire--its just a bad dream to those that don't love God.
That's the way its going to be. And it will be worse than a bad
dream to them quite frankly.
And we go with verse nine. "Stay yourselves" I mean, hang on. Stay
yourselves "And wonder. Cry ye out and cry. They are drunken but not
with wine. They stagger but not with strong drink." How many people,
do you just walk up and in average of not, not necessarily belonging
to your church or of your faith but you just walk up to on the
street and start talking Bible with them. What do they know? I mean,
I am talking about this generation. Okay? And many passed as far as
that is concerned. But they are in a stupor. And who put the stupor
there?
Verse ten. "For the Lord poured out upon you the spirit of deep
sleep and hath closed you eyes. The prophets and your rulers, the
seers hath He covered." He's blinded them. In a sense, that
blindness comes innocence as far as worshipping antichrist. Which is
where we are about to get to here. As long as they are ignorant to
the fact, but you see, once you know the Truth and you return back
to the other its like a dog going back to its vomit as the way Paul
puts it. Or is it Peter? Whichever. Okay? New Testament teaching. Or
maybe I better correct it and say like an old sow returning to her
wallow after you get her cleaned up and put a ribbon on her. That's
what its like. Stay with your Father's Word. Its so simple. Again, a
child can understand it. It's a matter of discipline in your mind to
taking, being a captain of your ship. And your ship is your body.
Okay? And mind.
Verse eleven. "And the vision of all is become upon, become unto you
as the words of a book that is sealed. Which men deliver unto one
that is learned saying `read this, I pray thee.' And he saith `I
cannot for it is sealed.'" And naturally you know, let's take the
book of Revelations which unlocks all of God's Word. It is sealed.
It is sealed to some. But there are some that, who, Who opens the
seals for man? Okay. Chapter six the great book of Revelations the
Lamb of God opens the seals and explains them. Some of us have
understood those seals for fifty years and longer. And for them you
are able to recognize the trumps when they come to pass. But you're
not going to recognize them until you understand the seals. And then
there is a given time that the four winds are released again. And
that's what's important for this moment. What we taught as Passover.
And the four winds are loosed at the sixth trump.
Okay. Verse twelve. "And the book is delivered unto him that is not
learned saying `read this, I pray thee'. and he saith `I'm not
learned'" I can't read. I don't know what it says. Why would
somebody when they knew they couldn't read say read it. Because you
have some people that go around today saying, `I didn't need a
teacher, I've got the Holy Spirit teaching me every word of God's
Word leading me.' That's a lie. You've got to, Christ is the Living
Word. Once you study the Word, the Holy Spirit will give you unction
and to understand. But this is the way that people get off into
fields of the unfamiliar spirit. Heresay. Traditions of men rather
than what is, I'll use an old Saxon word rote. That's, that's,
that's what you have to learn by with the unction of the Holy Spirit.
Verse fifteen. "Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel
from the Lord and their works are in the dark and they say `who
seeth us? And who knoweth us?'" God does. Okay? Always be honest
with God. Well, and you know something? There's not one of us that
doesn't do things at times that you kind of have to go to Him and
say `Lord, I think I messed up.' As a matter of fact, I know I did.
And I just want You to forgive me and on and so forth. Be honest
with Him. In other words, what, what can you hide from God when He
knows what you're thinking? That's foolish to think you can hide
something from God. That's why you always want to be open with Him
because He already knows. "surely your turning of things upside down
shall be esteemed as the potters clay. For shall the works say to
Him that made it `He made me nought'. Or shall the thing say of him
that formed it" framed it rather "He had no understanding". He
didn't know what He was doing. God made me but He sure didn't know
what He was doing. Now who could say something like that? You
wouldn't have much pride in yourself would you? And you know, God
is the Creator. We are the created. And God loves us. So you
wouldn't want to argue with the Potter when you're the clay, would
you? And it even goes a little deeper in the Hebrew manuscripts. It
says who want to change the Potter Himself and call Him clay? I
mean, that's, that's riskay. You want to listen to your Father. You
know, as much as He loves you, as much as He wants that personal
walk with you, to be in step with you--how could you be afraid of
Him? Or how could you, how could you want to argue with Him, when we
get down to this parable of the potter you can't get any plainer of
saying He's It. He's in charge. Its going to happen the way He said
it. Well, you know why? Its for our betterment. it's the best thing
in the world for us is to go by His plan. Not the plan of man okay?
Verse seventeen. "It is not yet a very little while" now listen to
me. Wake up for me. "It is not yet a very little while and LEBANON
should be turned into a very fruitful field. And the fruitful field
shall be esteemed as a forest." In other words, that that you think
is a fruitful field today when God returns and rejuvenates
everything is going to seem like a forest compared to what it will
be like then. Beautiful. Wonderful. The rejuvenation of this world.
And as you can better understand then why Paul would say in Romans
chapter 8 the creation itself groans for the day He returns and
accomplishes just this. You want to watch Lebanon. God loves that
place. What, what does it mean? when you say Lebanon what are you
saying? White. Because it is mountains. In the wintertime why would
they call those mountains white? Because its got snow on the top,
okay? (pm laughs) and they're white with snow. And they why would
you call them white in the springtime? Because there's limestone up
there and they're white. Alright. So they named them white mountain
and that's what Lebanon means. But most of all, because of what
grows there. Satan always wanted to be one of those cedars of
Lebanon but all he was was a plain old box cedar. That's like one of
them little old salt cedars you see down on Red River. Okay? A
little old twisted scrub. That's what satan is in God's eyes. He's
not one of those gigantic cedars of Lebanon. That fragrance of fresh
cedar that protects, even protects against insects and things of
that nature. God loves Lebanon. But Lebanon has been called to the
forefront here and in all end time prophecies. Right now today for
the last thirty years the Syrian army, the old army of the Assyrian
if you'd really like to bring it up to date and think a little bit,
has been their protector. How would you like to have a fox
protecting your chicken house for thirty years. You might come up
missing some chickens. Okay? Well, they pulled out and it leaves a
vacuum. You're going to see problems from Hezbollah and many other
things. No doubt transpire in Lebanon at this time. it's a ticking
time bomb. But watch it closely. God has His eye on the place. You
are going to see things happen there. But right now, do you
understand what I am saying its basically, they have no army to
speak of and they don't have all that strong of a police force. So
watch Lebanon. But the main thing is, know what is written. He's
going to rejuvenate it and its going to be a fresh, wonderful place.
Verse eighteen. "And in that day shall the death hear the day of the
book and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of
darkness." God's going to pull back their scales and they are going
to know and they're going to see the Truth. You know when that is,
its at His return of course. "The meek also shall increase their joy
in the Lord and the poor" that is to say the oppressed. Not, don't,
don't translate it poor. It will mislead you. Oppressed. Those that
are oppressed by the bad happies. "Among men shall rejoice in the
Holy One of Israel." it's a good day coming. It truly is. "For the
terrible one is brought to nought." The antichrist is going to be
done in. zippo. Nothing. "And the scorner is consumed and all that
watch for iniquity are cut off." Those that like to plan crime in
the night. They're, the fact that they wake and watch in the night
for the opportunity to that that is evil. He's, I'm going to fix
their wagon. I'm going to put a stop to it.
Verse twenty one. "That make a man an offender for a word." They're
misleading. They'll put something out there that is so untrue and
yet people will say "Did you read that!?!" Not me boy. "And lay a
snare for him that reproveth at the gate." They try to rig
judgeships . They try to bring wrong judges into power. And they
boycott any judge that is a Christian that loves the Lord, that
loves the Word of God. Where that we have a bunch of fake judges and
they control things. They're the judgeship. "that reproveth in the
gate". That's where judgeship is done. That's what the saying
means. "and turn aside the just for a thing of nought." in
confusion, the just can, how can you fight that? Because of the
confusion. Weeeellll, (pm stretches the word out) thank goodness
through the Father you fight it and we win. Never be a defeatist
when God has given you the power and the authority over all that's
evil. You don't, you don't have anything to worry about. We win.
Okay? Why? He's our Father.
Twenty two. "Therefore, thus saith the Lord who redeemed Abraham
concerning the house of Jacob" that is all of the natural
seed "Jacob shall not now be ashamed neither shall his face now wax
pale." He's going to be proud and he's going to be serving our
Father. Why? Because he understands the Word now. Its open and they
see clearly where they went wrong. With understanding. And thank God
for the remnant of God's elect that see the seals. And the seals
have been broken and opened. Opened on some a long time ago so they
could teach others and others can teach others. They keep breaking
open. Opened by who? Man? No, by the Lamb. The Lamb of God.
Revelation 6:1. It wasn't angels that pass out seals. it's the Lamb
of God and He's been doing it for a long time. He paid an awesome
price to be able to do that. He paid that price on the cross and
those that He opens their eyes to those seals, He expects them to
utilize it.
Verse twenty four. "They also that erred in spirit shall come to
understanding and they that murmured shall learn doctrine." shall
learn in the Hebrew `an acceptable truth'. And what is that
acceptable truth? it's the word of God. And the Word of God is so
strong. So prevalent. Do you know something? It changes your life
beloved. It gives you strength, power and will to accomplish what
God would have you accomplish. To be a comfort and a pleasure to
mankind. Why? How do you comfort them? By giving them Truth.
Solidity in life not a bunch of foolishness. Not a bunch of
nonsense. Not something that stirs trouble. But that solidifies life
itself in the way God created us to be happy. To understand. To
know. And to lead and to direct through His Word. Lebanon again
comes to me in another Scripture where God gives His Name in the
great book of Hosea. Hosea means, the very word itself means
salvation. Are you saved? Do you know how to find salvation? True
salvation? Well, God told a story by using a man Hosea and told him
to go marry a harlot that had a bunch of illegitimate children. And
by the harlot he had a child or two. And within that story is locked
the Truth like the first child of the marriage was Gomer. And it
means a sowing or a scattering like I am going to scatter your
children Israel. And then there was a girl baby born and He said
name her Loruhamma. And Lo in Hebrew means not, no way. And ruhamma
means mercy. What God is saying there's not going to be any mercy
here to these lost children. They're scattered. And then there was a
boy named. Born and named from this harlot. And would you believe
God told a man to go and marry a harlot? Well, He did. That's what
the book of Hosea is about and it means the Hebrew word salvation.
Hosea. Yashua. Okay? Got it? And He named the boy, He said you name
him LoAmi. Well, Ami in the Hebrew tongue means people. And Lo, not
my people. They're scattered. They're talking against Me. I don't
want them in that light or where, where they are like that. Call
them Loami. Not my People. And as Zachariah, in the great book of
Hosea as they come together, He said you call her not Loruhamma but
you call her Ruhamma. Mercy. I'm going to show mercy on her. She's
My child. And then He said, you call Loami, don't call him Lo any
more for they are My people. And He was gathering together that so
that you understand where we are picking up here in the fourteenth
chapter of the great book of salvation Hosea in the Minor Prophets.
"O Israel return unto Me, unto the Lord thy God for thou hast fallen
by thine iniquity." I mean, by your faults. You messed up. "Take
with you words and turn unto the Lord. Say unto Him, take away all
iniquity" sin "and receive us graciously. So will we render the
calves of our lips." We will be with you Father because we love you.
Verse three. "Asher shall not save us." The Assyrian wouldn't.
tiasher is satan. There is no way that something wicked could save
you. "We will not ride upon horses neither will we say anymore to
the works of our hands `ye are our gods'. for indeed the fatherless
findeth mercy." who are the fatherless? The orphans. Those that are
scattered. Those today that, how many people can read God's Word and
He says, I promise you I'm going to make Israel as numerous as the
stars of heaven and the sands of the sea. And most people take one
little tribe and put all of God's children in that and they don't
even know who they are. And where did they scatter? Why, why is it
when you reach into your pocket you pull out a coin that says `In
God We Trust". And why is it that God has blessed this nation as the
only great super power of the end times? Did He mess up? Did He
forget something? No, man did. But God leads His own. He chooses His
own to follow Him. They were orphans and that's the whole story of
the book. These children by this harlot. Because she went whoring
after other gods.
Verse four. "I will heal their backsliding. I will love them freely
for My anger has turned away from him." Because of the wicked one.
Now I can love my children. "I will be as the dew upon Israel. He
shall grow as the lily and cast forth his roots as Lebanon." Boy
those old cedars roots can reach out there and grab it. Okay? They
can be strong. "His branches shall spread and his beauty shall be as
the olive tree and his smell as Lebanon." That beautiful fresh
cedar. Its just, it doesn't get any better. "They that dwell under
the shadow shall return. They shall receive as the corn, (pm
corrects himself) revive as the corn and grow as the vine. The scent
thereof shall be as the vine of Lebanon." God loves that place. Why
its next to the very place He chose as His favorite spot in the
universe. Again, you'll find that written in Ezekiel 16. "Ephriam
shall say `what have I to do anymore with idols?' I have heard Him
and observed Him." who did he hear? God. And what did God say?
Listen carefully. "I am like a green fir tree. From Me is thy fruit
found." so God Himself says I'm like a great cedar. I'm like a great
fir tree. Why? Well, its real simple. Find you a little old oak out
here somewhere and tell me what happens to it in the wintertime. The
leaves are not everlasting are they? They take a little break. They
dry up and blow away. And somebody's got to do some leaf raking. But
an old evergreen is forever and that's what God is saying. You know
a lot of people take a Christmas tree and put it in their house. And
they don't know that God Himself said I'm a great evergreen. Great
fir tree. Symbolism? Yes. But freshness and the pureness symbolic of
eternal life. There it is. Don't let idiots rob you of God's truth.
Of God's words.
Verse nine. "Who is wise?" are you? "Who is wise and he shall
understand these things? Prudent, and he shall know them. For the
ways of the Lord are right and the just walk in them. But the
transgressors shall fall therein." it is written. He wrote it. He
sent to us. We have it and we are to live by it. Its your choice.
Your life. Your ship and you're the captain. And much advice will be
poured upon you. Do you listen to it? Or do you listen to God's
word? In your life, which comes first? Chatter and whispering or
God's Word? Who is the final boss? It better be God's Word then you,
I will be looking at a happy person. But if you listen to the
traditions of men that make void the Word of God. I said make void.
Do you know what make void means? It won't work for you. Prayers
won't be answered. `Well, I just pray, and pray, and pray.'
(sarcastically said) Have you gone back to God's Word and thanked
Him, repented totally. Have you anointed yourself and your home if
its sick? That's what He said to do. Have you done it? `well, I
didn't know about that.' (sarcastic) Well, you didn't read His
letter. Its that simple. Anyway, you know, I thank our Father that
we don't have to be afraid of anything other than fear itself. We
know where to go. If there's trouble we know how to do one of two
things. You see man only fears the unknown. Alright? When you know
there's a big old tree coming up down here in the road, what are we
going to do? Well, we can go over it, under it, around it or we can
saw that sucker into little pieces and throw it out of the road. We
can always plan and win. We can always take care of business.
Especially when we have His knowledge and His help.
Heavenly Father, we thank You Father for Your Word, for Your Truth,
for this Letter. Father we thank You for the warnings that You give
us concerning the end times and we will watch Lebanon. We will watch
Jerusalem at this time Father as Your passages, that instant comes
to pass Father. We thank you for foreknowledge for prophecy in Your
Word. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen.
