Original subtitles

all right everybody welcome it's good to

see you here we're starting today our

verse by verse through the Book of

Revelation are you excited about this

I'm excited as well

um we uh let me set my timer here make

sure if I go a little over I go a little

over I guess right but um we've been

looking forward to this about a month

ago we finished our verse by verse Bible

study through John

and uh people are like well you said you

do Revelation well I had to take a

couple weeks off to rest and then try to

figure out where's the best place to do

it and when to do it and what a blessing

now we can do it in front of a live

studio audience right I I feel like Les

Feldick huh that's what people tell me

sometimes they go you're the Les Feldick

for young people because Les feldick's

more for old people and he uses the old

chalkboard you use the new modern the

white board I'm like oh man you're

flattering me you're flattering me all

right so let's get started today we're

going to look at the Book of Revelation

and there's a lot to get into here so

get your Bible out and turn with me to

the Book of Revelation now I have to

start there

it's the Book of Revelation singular one

of my pet peeves is

when people say the Book of Revelations

and I'm just like no no what does verse

one say the revelation of Jesus Christ

sometimes you have a pet peeve that when

you hear a word it's just like you know

someone on a chalkboard with their nails

and so when someone says Revelations I

kind of go oh it's not no say Revelation

please say Revelation I'll give you

another example my grandpa in Oklahoma

he used to say Crick when we'd go down

to the creek

and I just like no it's not a crick

that's what you get in your neck when

you don't sleep well you know but he'd

say Crick instead of Creek and my wife

sometimes well before we got married

she'd say aunt and I told her honey I

don't know what an aunt is you can't say

that you can't say that okay honey and

so one day we're driving down the road

after we're married and she says well my

aunt this and I go who

Am I who my aunt I go oh yeah what

happened to your aunt so there's just

certain words sometimes it's our pet

peeves that we do or don't like and I

just don't like it when people say the

Book of Revelations with an s on the end

it's the Book of Revelation that's what

my Bible says the Revelation now I guess

technically there's more than one

Revelation here but the whole thing put

together all the ones he got is in one

so to me I like it better as D

Revelation because it includes all that

was given to him which by the way was

given to us now

who is the author of this book who was

it written by

right wrong who wrote the book who wrote

the Bible God so let's read verse one

through three and let's say that okay I

knew I'd get somebody on that one

Revelation chapter 1 and verse one

through three let's just read that real

quickly the revelation of Jesus Christ

which God gave unto him to show unto his

servants things which must shortly come

to pass and he sent and signified it by

his Angel unto his servant John who bear

record of the word of God and of the

testimony of Jesus Christ and of all

things that he saw blessed is he that

readeth and they that hear the words of

this prophecy and keep those things

which are written therein for the times

at hand all right there's a lot in there

but in the first verse look what it says

the revelation of who

it's not the revelation of John

so it's the revelation of who Jesus but

it says which God gave into him

who would that be we know Jesus is God

so would that be the father so the

author is the father

so it's the father that's really giving

it and the father is giving it to who to

the son Jesus who's giving it to who

to John who's giving it to who

it says to us servants

so you get that and and so it's like wow

so it's a revelation from the father to

the son to John to us

so isn't that interesting if you don't

know if you ever thought about that but

the author is definitely God okay so not

man

but yet God let him write some things in

there like the end is him saying even so

come Lord Jesus because he saw this

whole thing he's like man let's get this

thing over with and Lord please come

back today so that's who it is so the

author then would be

Jesus because Jesus is God go to

revelation 22 16. and in Revelation

chapter 22 and verse 16 we read

Jesus speaking

so as the author he's speaking so as you

read through it you're reading Jesus's

words

and you're reading God's words because

even when John did write something who

was in him

the holy spirit so he's writing and it's

the inspiration of the Holy Spirit

God's inspired words revelation 22 16 I

Jesus have sent mine Angel to testify

unto you these things in the churches I

am the root and The Offspring of David

and it says and the bride and Morning

Star so does it get more plain than that

Jesus says I jesus you know giving you

this so it's written down

by John and we know John is the author

now you get into the so-called Christian

Scholars they always seem to be

Blockheads they always seem to mess

things up and a lot of these Christian

Scholars we don't know who wrote the

Book of Revelation it's like verse 4

John to the seven we don't know which

John that is uh why do they have to be

like that well we do know who which John

it is if you actually read

amen I wonder if these Scholars can read

sometimes because we have many Church

fathers

and there's a Church Father called

Justin Martyr who lived somewhere

between 100 to 169 A.D all right

he wrote in his dialogue with trifo in

chapter 81 that the author of Revelation

was John the Apostle of the Lord he goes

on to say that John was one of the

Apostles of Christ who prophesied by a

revelation that was made to him that

those who are in Christ would dwell a

thousand years in Jerusalem and we

believe in that we believe in the

literal thousand year rule of Jesus and

we believe we're going to be those with

them because look at verse 5.

uh verse six excuse me verse six and

hath made us Kings and Priests unto God

and his father to him be glory and

Dominion forever and ever and amen so

someday I'm going to be a king in the

millennial Kingdom amen so what a

blessing that'll be so we know who the

author is now right now we're already

smarter than many of your so-called

Bible scholars because we know who the

author is and we actually looked at

historical documents said no it was John

the Apostle and right here in the front

page of my Bible it says the revelation

of Saint John the Divine

so that would be John the Apostle

now when was it written now we get into

this there's a thing out there called

preterists and a preterist

is someone who comes along and says well

I believe the Book of Revelation is all

past and it's all over that's what they

believe and again they must not read

preterists believe that the Book of

Revelation was written early about 50 or

60 A.D so while Paul the Apostle was

still alive and it's like no dude can

you guys read

why is there such a thing as preterism

well the preterists teach that it was

written way before 70 A.D in the fall of

Israel Our Father excuse me the fall of

Jerusalem do you know what happened in

70 A.D Jerusalem fell all the Jews were

kicked out

and they try to make all of the Book of

Revelation past history and here's why

they do it because they only read the

first three verses and they don't read

the rest of it

that's usually how it goes right you

read a couple verses you go well I

criticized that book that's what your

Scholars are they're critics that's what

they call their study of the Bible

textual criticism do you like critics

you know they're all a bunch of siscal

and eberts like oh like this with a

Bible it's like no I'm like this with

the Bible no I I think it says what it

means it means what it says so I'm not a

preterist I don't believe it's past but

here's what they say the revelation of

Jesus Christ verse one which God gave

unto him to show unto his servants

things which must shortly come to pass

so they say it was written just to show

you things that will pass in the next 20

30 years

and uh they go down to verse three for

the time is at hand so they say see now

again who wrote the book

if John wrote the book then we can say

okay yeah he's right in the prophecy if

something's going to happen in a couple

years but who wrote the book God and in

second Peter 3 8

a day with the Lord as a thousand years

and a thousand years is one day so if

God's the author and he's looking down

and here we are 2000 years later and

we're starting to see this stuff coming

to pass in God's eyes that's just like

two days so God's right and he goes let

me tell you what's going to happen about

two days from now in his time in his

calendar and for us we're like it seems

like forever well yeah 2 000 years is a

long time

but you know what it's it's still future

there's a lot of future in this book now

there's a lot of present as well and

there's some past so I believe past

present future and I think we'll see

that as we get into the text which was

which is which is to come that's past

present and future so why do they try to

always just make it all past if the Book

of Revelation is all completed prophecy

and it's all over why even read it

you're wasting your time

so why do they even speak then if

they're right then shut up because

you've got nothing to offer me except

don't read the book no I think we should

read the book because it's to us the

Servants of of Christ right so I don't

even listen to their silly arguments and

it's so sad to hear people say no the

whole book's all passed

it's just it's really sad to see things

like that let me give you some examples

of how it has to be future because it's

kind of fun when you deal with the

preterists to show them what it actually

says again do they even read it and then

ask them so when did this happen let's

look at a couple of examples Revelation

11 15.

Revelation 11 15 and the seventh angel

sounded and there was great voices in

heaven saying the kingdoms of this world

are become the kingdoms of our Lord and

of his Christ and he shall reign forever

and ever all right when did that happen

if Jesus is reigning right now

what a mess

is Jesus in charge of the Earth right

now

I don't think so I think the devil is

he's the God of this world little G and

he's the one that's running everything

if you will and all that kind of stuff

so you got to watch out for him go to

Revelation chapter 20 and verse 6.

Revelation chapter 20 and verse 6. now

remember last week we looked at

ecumenicalism what is ecumenicalism all

those that claim to do Christians get

together how do I get together with the

preterists

who says it's all past and it's all done

I can't Revelation chapter 20 and verse

6 says blessed and holy is he that hath

pardoned the first resurrection on such

the second death hath no power but they

shall be Priests of God and of Christ

and shall reign with him a thousand

years have we all been reigning for a

thousand years with Jesus which Thousand

Years the first thousand or the last

thousand it's been almost 2 000 years

since this book was written

come on man who says that you know come

on man really Jesus is reigning for well

he's rooting spiritually in the heavens

well he's not doing a very good job is

he I mean the world's a mess come on

Lord I mean you're supposed to be

reigning and we're supposed to be with

you I'm not in office am I I'm not you

know I don't want to be a politician

they ask one preacher do you want to be

president he said I would not take the

demotion because the greatest calling is

to be a pastor and a preacher and a

missionary I would not take the demotion

of demeaning myself to become a

president you know what I mean so you

look at that let me give you another

example I think I have another one here

revelation 22 5. revelation 22 5 how was

this past revelation 22 5 and there

shall be no night there and they they

need no candle neither light of the Sun

for the Lord God giveth them a light and

they shall reign forever and ever well

we're reigning forever and ever right

now aren't we I guess we'll never die

will we we're raining right now I think

this is all future when it all ends and

then Jesus is reigning for a thousand

years and then we reign with him forever

and ever so we look at this book The

Book of Revelation and we see what I say

is

a little bit of past during the time of

him while he's riding a little bit of

present a lot of it is applying to us

today and a whole lot of still future

events now the Book of Revelation has 22

up I forgot to tell you so before we get

to the chapters

um when was it written

I did tell you who wrote it but when was

it written

those people that are preterists say it

was written about 50 to 60 80.

before the fall of Jerusalem and so they

make the fall of Jerusalem all that was

fulfillment of this

so Jesus reigned for a thousand years

after that then what we're past the

Millennium now according to them

that doesn't make sense so if you go to

history which you should and you look at

history you find very clearly when it

was written

there are different views to the time

when the Book of Revelation was written

some the preterists believe it was

written during the reign of Nero let me

show you these guys here here are all of

the Caesars of Rome well not all of them

but around the time of Christ and then

after in the early church

and when you actually study history you

can't become a blockhead like a lot of

these so-called Bible scholars they're

following men who probably weren't even

saved they're not following the Bible

just read the Bible and study history

for yourself well the preterists believe

that it was written sometime during the

reign of Nero so that would be 54 to 68

A.D or during the reign of Vespasian or

or something like that and so they

suggest an early writing for the Book of

Revelation and they say that the seven

churches were those that existed at that

time and that all that it said there to

them it's all over it's all done that

does not make sense do you know we have

witnesses the Bible says that out of the

mouth of two or three Witnesses let

every word be established all right do

we believe that

all right if I showed you some witnesses

that said that the book was written

between 92 100 A.D would you believe

that

well as a matter of fact we happen to

have that

erenius who lived about 1 30 to 202 A.D

claims to have had a personal connection

with the Apostle Paul through a man

named polycarp so you have I said Paul

John through polycarp so John and then

polycarp and then iranius you can you

can see these guys and this one LED this

one to the Lord who led this one isn't

it amazing that we can go back 2 000

years and we know history like to the

day of what happened because the Romans

kept records

erroneous says that the Book of

Revelation for that it was he says his

words for that was seen no very long

time since but almost in our day toward

the ends of the reign of domitian

is when it was written so iranius an

eyewitness says domitian so in the time

of domitian the book was written when is

that way after 70 A.D right so are we

going to listen to preterists heck no

man you don't know what you're talking

about that's just one witness

victorianists who died in about 303 A.D

victorianness no not the Victoria Knox

you know little knife you know like the

Swiss army knife oh man I had to put a

knife thing in there knives are cool and

access 2 Channel on YouTube okay

victorianness right so when John said

these things he was in the island of

Patmos condemned to the labor of the

mines by Caesar domishin

there therefore he saw the apocalypse so

there's two witnesses that say it was

written about this time

here's one more eusebius he was born

about 260 to 265 and and he died around

339 A.D eusebius records that John was

sent to the island of Patmos by Domi

shin and that when those who had been

unjustly banished by domitian were

released by his successor nirva the

Apostle returns to Ephesus so here is

and this is pretty cool to be able to

look at all this and when they rained

but this right here is when it happened

so how on Earth could that book have

been written in 70 A.D when we have

three Witnesses of History it says no it

was during this guy's reign

so somewhere between I would say

probably 90 to 100 A.D

is when it was written now it's neat to

study history when I was in Honduras I

ordered some old Roman coins you could

buy them on eBay and they were all dirty

they found them in a landfill and you're

supposed to soak them in olive oil for a

week then soak them in lemon juice for a

week and I went like that for a couple

months and would use a toothbrush and

clean them off one of them was a coin

from Vespasian another one was a coin

from trajan and then one time I found a

coin from Hadrian I think I sold all

those but Hadrian's Wall remember

Hadrian's Wall you could still go there

and see that today and it divides

Scotland from England if I remember

correctly so interestingly enough we

have proof that the book was written

somewhere between 90 to 100 A.D

so why would you listen to anyone who's

a preterist they have lost all

credibility have they not

only are they going against the Bible

they're going against Witnesses of when

it was written so

the book was written around 90 to 100

A.D and by the way John is called the

Aged remember so he did live to be

probably 100 years old some people like

Fox's book of Martyrs have him a little

over 100 if I remember correctly how

many chapters in The Book 22 chapters

and with the 22 chapters there's 404

verses okay

now how many words are in the Book of

Revelation in our King James Bible

this has got to be more than just

coincidence do you know how many words

are in in the King James Bible in the

Book of Revelation

this is incredible to me 12

000 even

now why is that amazing

well to me it talks about the 144 000 in

that book and there's 12 000 from every

tribe and there just happens to be

exactly 12 000 words in the Book of

Revelation you think that's a

coincidence Our God's a god of numbers

there's lots of numbers in the Bible and

we'll get to it here in a minute God

uses the number seven a lot in the Book

of Revelation man there's a lot of

number sevens a lot of them so I just

find that amazing I just go wow that's

pretty cool

now the Book of Revelation has 22

chapters and when you go through the

Book of Revelation you see some amazing

stuff chapter 4 a door is open in heaven

and somebody goes up

that's a type of the church that's John

but he's the type of the church so in

chapter 4 Heaven is opened let's read it

chapter four uh go to Revelation chapter

four and it says Heaven opened if I

remember right and after this I looked

and behold a door was open in heaven

okay a door was opened in heaven and the

first voice which I heard was as and he

goes on so that's a type of the Rapture

that's the type of the church leaving we

don't see a door open again until

chapter 19 and if somebody comes down

let's look at that that's Revelation 19

11.

Revelation 19 11 says

and I saw heaven opened

and it goes on there what happens Jesus

comes so somebody goes up and it says

Heaven opened or a door opened in heaven

and I saw heaven open here comes down

so you got to remember to rightly divide

the Book of Revelation and remember that

so we see a whole lot of visions of

things that are in heaven or things that

are happening on the Earth but it's

happening here and this time it's not

not us the church that's in it a lot of

people try to say we're saved we're

going through the tribulation

well we're already in Tribulation

because tribulation is problems and

sorrow and sickness and but that we're

going through but the time of Jacob's

trouble The Seven Year tribulation we

don't go through that because that's for

the Jews

so this book This Book of Revelation is

to the servants that's us and we can

read it but you know those are going to

be servants too of Jesus when they come

to Jesus the Jews so the Book of

Revelation a lot of it has to do with

Israel so when we read it we need to

realize a lot of it has to do with

Israel

now the word revelation comes from the

Greek word apocalupsis apocalypse is

where we get that word APO meaning to

take away and kaluma avail

so it's like we're veiled we can't see

and all of a sudden it's taken away and

then we can see so that's kind of

interesting how that comes from that but

whenever you say the word apocalypse

does that invoke happiness and oh man

yay let's go have an apocalypse party no

that's like into the world stuff it's

like ah I don't want that it's called

The Book of Revelation in English it

sounds way better because the Revelation

is a happy thing oh we get to know you

know somebody's having a baby or

something oh we get to know oh the

Revelation is it boy or a girl you've

seen those videos on YouTube where it's

a balloon and it explodes in their face

and it's blue or pink or whatever so we

like the word revelation but apocalypse

is what the word comes from and it does

talk about end time events apocalypse

bad things so there's both good and bad

in the book and the good is I'm saved I

get out in chapter four I go up at the

Rapture I believe in a pre-trib Rapture

I don't see us going through it

so it's some past some present but a lot

of future events let's go to Revelation

1 19. Revelation chapter 1 verse 19.

write the things which thou has seen and

the things which are and the things

which shall be hereafter

is that all past doesn't sound like it

so the things which are that's present

things thou have seen that sounds past

and which see have future so past

present future so I see a lot of past

present and future so it's written to

the church but it's written about a lot

of future events which are for Believe

It or Not Israel and when we understand

that from the beginning then we rightly

divide and we'll try to find ourselves

from here to here because we're not

there we get out here at the Rapture of

the church because God's telling the

world this is what's going to happen to

you because you did this to Israel my

people

God's not done with the Jews how anyone

could be so

ignorant and say no no replacement

theology God's done with the Jews and

yet they become a nation again in 1948

really you're not a preterist are you I

mean I mean you gotta you're not a a

critical scholar are you I mean you

gotta just hate the Bible to believe

these kind of things because that's

foreign to what the Bible itself teaches

so when you get into the Book of

Revelation guess what there are a lot of

sevens in the Book of Revelation we've

got seven churches seven spirits seven

angels seven golden candlesticks seven

stars seven seals seven horns seven eyes

seven Thunders seven thousand men who

were slain seven crowns seven plagues

seven I mean can I keep going I mean I

have to Seven Mountains seven Kings

seven trumpets seven heads seven lamps

seven other things I didn't even write

them all down God must like the number

seven so when we get into this book and

we look at all the sevens there's a lot

of sevens and it makes you look at other

sevens in the Bible remember I've taught

on there's only seven thousand years of

human history yeah and up until this

point right here that 6 000 have been

done that's the seven thousandth Year

God loves the number seven

so let's go to Revelation chapter one

and verse one through three this is what

we would call the prologue and this is

the opening of it and we read it earlier

but let's go ahead and read verse one

and I'm going to comment on each verse

we're going verse by verse the

Revelation okay not Revelations of Jesus

Christ

which God gave unto him to show unto his

servant things which must shortly come

to pass now do you remember that verse

back in I think it's Matthew where Jesus

said no man knoweth the day or hour

remember that

if you read the rest of that verse he

says but my Father which is in heaven

people are like parrots you try to say

you know the Bible tells us that the

Rapture is coming and I think we could

find it if it's in the Bible no you

can't know when the Rapture is coming

and yet you read the book of Revelation

it says 1 260 days this happens and the

Bible is very specific gives you how

many yeah I think it's in here I think

it's in here because Revelation 3 3 says

if you're not watching you won't know

what's the opposite of that if you are

watching then you will know right so I

think you can figure it out I haven't

yet but these people are like no no man

no at the day or hour

um quote the rest of the verse and

they're like parrots they're like no

matter their hour I mean they just say

it over and over and over they get so

mad at you when you say no I think you

could figure it out if you read about no

no and that's their verse that they

cling on to no man know what the aired

hour but Jesus said no man knoweth the

day or hour but my Father which is in

heaven and he said that here on Earth

where did Jesus go to heaven and do you

think he went up there and sat down by

the right hand of the father and they

just kind of looked at each other and go

and they haven't talked since

or do you think they spoke to each other

well according to this the revelation of

Jesus Christ which God the Father gave

to him so after he went up there guess

what the father goes okay let me tell

you when the day an hour is let me tell

you all this other stuff and now you go

tell John okay

so I see it why don't other people see

that are they following a preterist

maybe I don't know I don't know what's

problem with people not reading their

Bible they just love to follow other

people and just parrot what they say you

need to study for yourself second

Timothy 2 15 study to show thyself

approved unto God a Workman that needeth

not to be what ashamed I think these

Scholars I think these preterists I

think these replacement theology people

I think they ought to be ashamed you

know shame shame shame we know your name

you don't know your Bible Shame Shame

Shame right so I think we need to know

it and read it so the revelation of

Jesus Christ which God that would be the

father gave unto him to show unto his

servants things which must shortly come

to pass and he sent and signify it by

his Angel unto his servant John now an

angel is in appearance but Jesus is the

Angel of the Lord in the Old Testament

so Jesus could have appeared as well to

him also

now the servants that would be us we're

servants but you know who else would be

servants if you know your Bible here

comes the two witnesses Here Comes 144

000. the last three and a half years of

the tribulation the Jews accept the

Messiah many of them and they flee Into

the Wilderness chapter 12 of revelation

God protects them so wouldn't they be

servants too so I think they'll be

sitting around reading the book of

Revelation out there in a place called

Petra I had a friend of mine years ago

that went to Israel and he went to see

Petra and the tour guide told them bring

King James Bibles

and what did they do with the King James

Bibles they went out in the desert

around there and they said find a rock

and hide it under the rock there have

been thousands of King James Bibles

hidden under rocks all around out in

that area why because the Christians are

thinking and when they go there in the

tribulation because the Bible says

they'll go out one day and kick her out

and go oh what's this and pick up the

Bible and start reading the book of

Revelation

and it'll be shown unto the Servants of

God at that time the Jews and they'll

read it so that to me I'm getting

Goosebumps that's amazing isn't it how

smart a lot of Christians are who read

their Bible

uh so it says here in verse um

two who bear record of the word of God

and of the testimony of Jesus Christ and

of all things that he saw

now I find this very interesting who

bear record I didn't write down but if

you want to look it up look up bear

record how many times that shows up in

the Bible

it shows up I think five or six times

and it's usually John that says it so

that's very John that wrote John in

first second third John who bear record

bear record of something

who bear record of the word of God now

what is the word of God the Bible the

Bible is the word lowercase w but who is

Jesus the word capital W who bear record

of the word of God and the testimony of

Jesus Christ and of all things that he

saw now look what it says he bear record

of two things of the Bible the

scriptures the word of God and of the

testimony of Jesus

what is the testimony of Jesus

well let's go over to Revelation 19 and

verse 10.

another verse to show a preterist and

say nah nah you're wrong you know I mean

it's almost laughable how ignorant some

people are and I don't want to put them

down but I I have to either laugh or cry

because if you read the Bible you could

not be one of those that's right

look at Revelation chapter 19 and look

at verse verse 10 and I fell at his feet

to worship him and he said unto me see

thou do it not I am thy fellow servant

and one of thy brethren

that have the testimony of Jesus worship

God now watch this for the testimony of

Jesus is the spirit of Prophecy

so he says here

the testimony of Jesus Christ what is

that the spirit of Prophecy so what must

this book be a book of future prophecy

it's not completed and over

if we're saved we have the testimony of

Jesus what can we do

we are actually prophesying when we tell

people what the Bible says amen now we

don't get some special Revelation where

we go prophesy something else outside

the Bible there are people out there to

claim to be prophets and they say that

and they do that I was talking to

somebody the other day and they said yo

we went to this church and this Prophet

said this or that and then it didn't

come to pass yeah well he didn't get

that from the Lord did he that's right

watch out for people run around say

they're a prophet but if I'm up here

preaching and I say if you don't get

saved you're going to hell what did I

just do prophesied because that's where

you're going to go not because I said so

the Bible says so right so the spirit of

Prophecy

so that's what it says there in verse

two who bear record of the word of God

and of the testimony of Jesus Christ now

who Bears record John

John bore record of the word of God so

he must have written other books that

proves that the other books written by

John were from John what would they be

the Book of John first second third John

and then he wrote this book revelation

and of the testimony of Jesus Christ and

of all things that he saw verse 3

blessed is he that readeth and they that

hear the words of this prophecy and keep

those things which are written therein

for the time is at hand well you know

the time is at hand what does that mean

to God it's only like two days

so it's not an error in the Bible it's

not a mistake it's God's perspective

yeah and really about two days of my

time it's going to happen but for us

we've been like how many generations in

2000 years I have no idea but that's a

bunch that's a bunch so it says for the

time is at hand now blessed are those

who what blessed is he that readeth and

they that hear

and then what does it say Keep

so read hear and keep

do you read it

do you hear it

do you keep it

do you know it says you'll get a

blessing for that

who doesn't want a blessing right so I

want to read the book of Revelation and

I get a blessing from reading it the

Bible says that's pretty incredible if

you want a blessing then just read it

um let me show you another thing Luke 11

28.

Luke chapter 11 and verse 28.

and I don't have time to get into why we

believe the King James Bible is the word

of God but we know it is because it

comes from the true text it comes from

the right text all new versions come

from the corrupt alexandrian West God

and heart critical Catholic texts and

they're not the word of God and you're

not blessed if you want a true blessing

get the true word of God the King James

Bible new versions are per versions the

non-inspired version the NIV isn't that

what it stands for nutty idiots version

something NIV I forget what it stands

for the NIV takes out over 60 000 words

is that keeping God's word

no so are you really blessed if you use

the NIV well yes I get a blessing from

it I don't you take out whole verses the

verses are missing in it God says you

get a blessing if you keep it

those that put that together did not

keep it did you know there were two

homosexuals that that worked on the

committee of the NIV

can you believe that

um wow so

blessed are they now what does it say in

Luke 11 and I believe it's verse 28 but

he said yea rather blessed are they that

hear the word of God and what keep it so

I've got the King James Bible I know

that's the word of God I don't want some

perversion that's taken words out new

versions they do that a lot Jesus says

verily verily and they go well that's

redundant let's just say verily I want

it when Jesus says very very because

when Jesus says verily verily usually

that's one of the most important things

you're going to say he's given that his

emphasis like pay special attention to

it because I'm saying it twice why would

you want a version that takes it out

once

man shall not live by bread alone but

every word of God

you want to take away the words why

don't you want to keep it

so there's a blessing for keeping God's

word

let's go to Revelation chapter 22.

in verse 6 and 7 again we read this

you get a blessing for reading this book

why don't you read it from the King

James Bible because if you read it in

another version it changes things

I don't want it changed I want it as

close to the originals as we can get

that's the King James because that comes

from the true Byzantine text all new

versions come from the Catholic corrupt

critical texts which are from Alexandria

Egypt the Bible doesn't have much to say

good about Egypt

Egypt always did wrong to Israel

but anyway Revelation chapter 22 verse 6

and 7 and he said unto me these things

are faithful and true and the Lord God

of the Holy prophets sent his Angel to

show unto his servants the things which

must shortly be done behold I come

quickly blessed is he that keepeth the

sayings of the prophecy of this book

well there goes your preterists

they go we don't need to keep that it's

already over if it's already over then

then we can't get a blessing so you're

trying to rob a blessing for me I mean

how am I going to keep it if if it's

people just don't read do they they keep

it the prophecy of this book

so I want to keep it don't you so we get

a blessing the Bible says for keeping it

but you know what you get if you don't

keep it

a curse go to revelation 22 18 and 19.

so you can choose if you want to be

blessed or cursed

Revelation chapter 22 verse 18 and 19.

for I testify unto every man that

heareth the words of the prophecy of

this book If any man shall add unto

these things God shall add unto him the

plagues that are written in this book

wow does that mean covet is because all

the new versions of the Bible

I don't know man but um you shouldn't be

adding to the Bible but they keep making

new versions don't they and they all

change the word of God

and if any man shall take away from the

words of the book of this prophecy God

shall take away his part out of the book

of life and out of the holy city and

from the things which are written in

this book so it's a very serious thing

don't mess with the Bible

you don't mess with the book and yet

people have you need to study who

Wescott and heart was who lochman was

who tischendorf was study these

so-called Scholars

who chose the critical messed up

versions of the Bible to make their new

translations from because those are not

the true word of God those are those

that have been changed and your new

versions of the Bible come from them

there's three commands in the Bible not

to change the Bible let's look at these

three commands in the Bible the first

one is Deuteronomy

four

I think it's verse one and two it's

actually verse two

it's in the beginning of the Bible then

we've got Proverbs Chapter 30 and I want

to say verse 5 is that right and then in

six that's the middle of the Bible

and then we've got

the end of the Bible we just read it

revelation

22

and what were those verses 18 and 19. so

you've got three commands in the Bible

and the first one's in the beginning of

the Bible

the next one is in the middle

and the next one's toward the end

that just happened to happen when all

these guys just wrote a book no God is

the author of The Bible and he had all

these people right and put it all

together and God said it's going the way

I want it and I'm going to tell you in

the beginning I'm going to tell you in

the middle I'm going to tell you in the

end don't mess with this book so let's

read those real quick let's go to

Deuteronomy chapter 4 and verse 2 to the

Old Testament

God tells These Old Testament Jews now

we look at this as a command for us

today don't mess with it and who was

that guy Frank logsdon was his name that

worked on the which Bible was it

um

the nasb have you ever seen the

testimony of Frank I think it was

Langston or something like that

he worked on the nasb Bible

and after he did he recanted and said

I'm sorry and you can hear his testimony

of how he said I did the wrong thing in

making this new version of the Bible the

King James is the right one we did wrong

so that's amazing

I forget his name but you can look it up

the nasb I think his name I'll have to

find out what his name was but it's

interesting to hear the testimony of a

man that put out a new version of the

Bible and said you know what that's a

perversion I shouldn't have done that so

anyway Deuteronomy chapter 4 and verse

2.

you shall not add unto the word which I

command you neither shall you diminish

ought from it that you may keep the

Commandments of the Lord your God which

I command you so here's a command God

says not to change it now go to Proverbs

chapter 30.

Proverbs chapter 30.

and in Proverbs Chapter 30

here's another command middle of the

Bible

which by the way if you ever done a

study and what's the first word in the

Bible what's the middle word in the

Bible and what's the last word in the

Bible

you realize it's not in the middle just

one word it's two because the way it

works out and so it works out the first

word is in

the middle two words are the Lord and

the last word is amen

it all boils down to are you in the Lord

amen or are you not isn't that wild and

that's only in the King James Bible

though you can go use a different Bible

who knows what it says who knows I've

never done that probably says then Satan

amen or something it's just weird you

know but um Proverbs chapter 30.

and verse 5 and 6 every word of God is

pure he is a shield unto them that put

their trust in him add thou not unto his

words lest he reprove thee and thou be

found a liar you call God a liar when

you change his word and you stand in

doubt of him and say I don't think he

really said that I think we should go

with these texts over here oh really

which one are those the vaticanus ends

an anus that doesn't sound right and the

Sin yeticus Sin that's not those are the

two texts that they take new versions

from one came out of the Vatican another

one was forged by a man to make it look

older than it really was and it's

missing a lot of words

somebody didn't follow the Bible they

didn't keep it they didn't want a

blessing and we're supposed to believe

that we're getting a blessing from new

versions of the Bible what has happened

when new versions came out they started

coming out in 1881 with the Wisconsin

Hort text and the first one was the

revised version in English of 1884.

no other book has sold more copies than

the King James Bible

no other book has brought Revival in the

world more than the King James Bible

now you have over 200 different versions

in English and we're in what the time of

apostasy where's the Revival

someone's not keeping God's word there's

only one book God only wrote one book

you go to the bookstore and say I'd like

some Shakespeare oh which version of

Shakespeare would you like there's no

such thing it's Shakespeare why is it

which version in English would you like

of what God Said God only wrote one

Bible

that's right oh but there's different

translations well the only one that came

from the true text in history when they

had them all on the table from The Men

Who were the smartest is the King James

and a king authorized it

where the word of a king is there is

power Ecclesiastes what's a verse I

think it's eight four if I remember I

looked that up you want an authorized

version

or do you want a per version that hasn't

been authorized you got to stick with

the King Ecclesiastes 8 4. so back to uh

Revelation so I want to stick with what

the Bible says

now revelation

chapter one

and uh it's interesting we've got a

command in the beginning in the middle

and the end beginning Old Testament

middle I guess we could apply that

spiritually to New Testament let's don't

change it today but then in the

tribulation they shouldn't be changing

the Bible either

and I wonder if somebody will try to do

that in a tribulation maybe some Jews

will come along go no no no don't follow

that King James over here in the United

V it says when you imagine that and then

people be like shut up because they have

the old Hebrew text and you know what

they say the old Hebrew text read closer

to the King James than any other

translation duh even Jews know the King

James is better interesting but your

Scholars a lot of them block heads that

are preterists they no King James is not

a reliable translation why don't you go

stick ahead in the sand and leave us

alone you know like one guy said take a

long walk off a short pier all right bud

and just oh take your waterproof King

James though remember I gave him a

waterproof King James Bible he thought

it's so cool this the Bible's waterproof

you better not dip it in the pool just

to check but it's supposed to be the

pages or waterproof all right so chapter

one of Revelation and we read verses one

through three the prologue let's start

there in verse four John to the seven

churches which are in where

this is interesting because he starts

out writing and you can say this is past

because this was literally seven

churches that existed in the time of

John

and so God in heaven is looking down at

the time and says I'm going to address

these seven churches now some of these

were churches that Paul wrote to Paul

wrote to Ephesians didn't he there was a

letter to laodicea but I guess it was

lost but in Colossians it talks about

that read the epistle to laodicea so

these are the seven churches in Asia

now why is that important well it's

strange because let's go over to

second Timothy 1 15. you remember second

Timothy 2 15 what about second Timothy 1

15.

when we get to this book we see

something very interesting

John the Apostle is in a time of

apostasy

it did not take long for the early

church to go into apostasy what did they

do they turned against Paul

Paul writes second Timothy that's the

last book he writes

last full book that he writes and it

says in second Timothy 1 15 this thou

knowest that all they which are in a

shall be turned away from me and of whom

are fight jealous and homogeneous

so people in Asia turned against Paul

why did they turn against Paul

isn't that weird

Paul's our apostle

Romans 11 13. we're supposed to follow

Paul he said be followers of me as I am

of Christ three times follow me fold

against Samir in German so why all of a

sudden are all these churches that are

supposed to be following Paul not

following Paul

and why are these the ones that he's

writing to

I never found that in a commentary yet

why didn't anybody talk about that I see

I try not to follow the commentaries of

what man said I try to study this for

myself but I did read a couple

commentaries on Revelation and I I said

Lord I just want you to show me things

not man and so why did this happen why

did they turn away from Paul well it

doesn't say

it just tells us there's these two guys

now you can go into history and see what

these two guys say and what they teach

and everything I forget what their

heresy was but God is looking at these

churches like why would they turn

against Paul they should be preaching

Paul because Paul's gospel is the gospel

that saves as you read and we go through

these churches God goes I know your

works I know your works I wonder if they

were bragging saying oh our works save

us well then they departed from the true

gospel that it's not of works I don't

have the answer why they turn from Paul

I don't know but I find something very

interesting

look at the verse Revelation 1 4. I

believe because I'm not a hyper

dispensationalist I believe that God

Called Paul and gave Paul some

Revelations

some Mysteries you want a good study

look at the seven mysteries in the Bible

and God revealed thanks to Paul

and when he did the early church said

okay Paul we'll accept that from Jesus

Christ

and I clearly see in the Bible all the

apostles getting together with Paul and

accepting the doctrine given to Paul

that's what the Bible teaches

and when we read through revelation we

see Paul in this book so John didn't

turn away from him John wasn't in Asia

he was over here in an island of Patmos

somewhere I forget where it was

somewhere over here or someplace or over

here and he was on an island so John

didn't turn against Paul and we see that

in verse five the blood amen and but

look at here what we see in verse 4 John

to the seven churches which are in Asia

Grace

Grace be unto you

so John the Apostle was a Grace believer

oh every hyper dispensationalist had

just exploded but anyway

um so Paul and most of his Epistles what

do you say grace be unto you so the

message of Paul is we're saved by grace

right so did they turn away from that

message

when Paul says all there have turned

against me is he saying they turned

against the message of Grace or is he

saying they turn against me in teaching

something that I don't I don't know I

still try to figure out what that is did

they turn away from him completely

because one of the seven churches is

Philadelphia and God says yeah you're

good

so maybe they didn't turn away from the

true gospel but they turned away from

some of the other things of Paul or

maybe they're just like forget Paul man

he's in jail so we're just and they just

forgot him or something I don't know but

it is interesting so Paul ends many of

his Epistles with Grace be unto you now

Paul was saved in chapter 9 of Acts in

Acts chapter 13 Paul was sent out as a

missionary

and the problem with modern Christianity

Today is they leave out Paul yeah if you

leave out Paul you leave out the gospel

of Salvation here is what Paul began to

preach whenever it started okay the the

early church started

it was all about who Jesus was

and all throughout the early church

they're running around saying hey it's

who he is he's the Messiah he's the

Christ believe who he is believe his

name believe who he is it's who who

Jesus is

and that was what the early church and

the Jews believed is they believed Jesus

was their Messiah

with Paul God said Paul I want you to

not only tell him who I am go tell him

what I did for him because what did

Jesus do he died as the Lamb of God

which taketh the way the sin of the

world he shed his blood as the sacrifice

for the sins

so the what message what did Jesus do he

did that to save us by grace

and when you go to Acts chapter 13 and

verse 38

Paul begins preaching something that God

revealed to him

and the thing that he starts preaching

is the thing that the Catholic Church

hates more than anything in the world

they slaughtered millions of people for

preaching this because Martin Luther

began to preach this why because he saw

Paul preached it it's called

justification by faith saved by grace

through faith not works and in Acts

Chapter 13 Verse 38 and 39 be it known

to you therefore men and Brethren that

through this man is preached unto you

the Forgiveness of sins and by him all

that believe are Justified from all

things from which he could not be

justified by the law of Moses so he

preached forgiveness of sins through

Christ through what through his blood

atonement and justification justified by

faith and not works it's no longer are

we under the law Laura was reading me

some comments as we're coming up here

and I just I get so sad to see these

comments of these Seventh-Day Adventists

oh we're not in the law anymore oh

you're so silly what do you mean Christ

abolished the law and I'm like yeah

that's what it says in Colossians having

abolished oh no we're still it's just

like dude you read your Bible That's

Paul's message we're not forgiven or

justified by the law we're forgiven and

justified by Christ Alone

so Grace salvation by grace well when he

preached this that caused the big stink

and that's what chapter 15 of the book

of Acts is all about

and they all met together in Acts

chapter 15 read chapter 15.

these Jews come down and said no but you

still got to be circumcised okay maybe

maybe faith alone is enough but still

you got to be circumcised and they said

no no it's not works and guess who

stands up and speaks first

who's the guy that always opens his

mouth first

Peter Peter pumpkin eater right Peter

stands up and starts well let me say and

it's like oh here we go again Peter and

most of the time when he does that God

rebukes him is like Peter would you just

listen Peter you know but a lot of times

he says good stuff A lot of times he

opens his mouth and inserts his foot but

Peter stands up

and Peter says verse 11 acts 15 11 Peter

literally says I accept Paul's message

that we're saved by grace and the early

church was there minus James and guess

what

he says yeah now Paul's right look what

he says in verse 9 purifying their

hearts by faith so we're saved by faith

alone verse 11 but we believe that

through the grace of the Lord Jesus

Christ we shall be saved even as they so

we're saved by grace God's grace

so I see John preaching the message of

Grace

huh I see Peter as a Grace believer

so you know I don't want to be hard on

people I'm not but there's people called

hyper dispensationalists is the name we

put on them because they say no no Peter

never accepted the message of Paul they

always preach two different messages no

they all got on the same page and you go

to First Peter 1 18 and 19 what do you

see redeemed through the blood of Jesus

that's Paul's message justified by faith

faith in his blood justified by the

blood

so as we get to this book we've got to

remember who it's written to in the

beginning

it's written to and this is passed these

seven churches

churches that Paul says turned against

them

now do they turn against the gospel I

hope not

I hope they didn't but they turned

against Paul for one reason or another

and in context is because two guys

started preaching something else so it

sounds like they became followers of

them instead of Paul or something I

don't know but

we see John at least sticking with the

message of Paul so let's go back to

revelation

and so that's why we can read Revelation

today your preterists say no you don't

need to read it because it's already

passed well a lot of hyper

dispensationalists say no you don't need

to read it because it's so future that

it's not even for us at all

so Grace isn't for us at all yeah it is

where's Grace in the tribulation

in the tribulation it's way different

than Grace so you better read the whole

Bible okay and rightly dividing is

saying hey where does it all apply to me

because not all of it does but I want

what does and when we get to Revelation

1 5 that's me that's me Revelation 1 5.

and that's important that's a great

verse so Revelation chapter 1 verse 4 it

says John to the seven churches which

are in Asia Grace be unto you and peace

that sounds just like Paul Grace be unto

you and peace from our Lord Jesus Christ

many times he says it

and it says which is and which was and

which is to come and from the seven

spirits which are before his throne now

look what it says there Grace unto you

and from him who is him Jesus Christ

and it says what which is which was and

which is to come

all right now we're getting into Jesus

being eternal

Jesus is forever

he is okay he is now right he rose from

the dead He's Alive and it says there

which is which was well he was here on

the Earth

and is to come is Jesus coming back

yeah yeah so he is to come so that's

clearly who Jesus is he says I am that I

am he's the I am

but look what it says there it says and

from the seven spirits which are before

his throne

now there's some stuff in Revelation

that you just read and you just go

what the heck is that what is that what

are the seven spirits there's only one

Holy Spirit

well God is one God but he can manifest

himself as three

as a father and a son and as a spirit

all the same time

so God can do that so can the Holy

Spirit do that manifest itself as seven

different ones

I guess I don't know I don't want to

talk too dogmatically about this because

I don't know and there's a lot in the

Book of Revelation I don't know

and I won't know until we get to heaven

what is this thing with seven eyes you

know what does this saying uh what's

seven I was not not seven wings but

seven I mean there's a lot of these

seven things and you're looking at this

going I don't know what that is but we

could have them we go oh now I get it so

he tells us what he saw but we don't

always understand it so what the heck is

seven spirits

well we read about that later and it has

to do with the churches and things like

that but

maybe it's the holy spirit that can

seven different ways present itself I

don't know you know there's seven colors

in a rainbow

but it's one rainbow but it can split

into seven so maybe the and that's light

isn't it huh the holy spirit is like

well I don't know what this is but

Revelation 4 5 says this

Revelation 4 5. it's wonderful to read

over and over and over the Book of

Revelation because it says one thing

over here it says another thing over

there for example it says the seven

angels and another place says the seven

angels are Seven Stars

so angels are stars that's interesting

well here in Revelation chapter 4 and

verse 5

and out of the throne preceded

Lightnings and thunderings and voices

and there were seven lamps of fire

burning Before the Throne which are the

seven spirits of God

how does God have seven spirits I

thought he was one the Holy Spirit well

somehow the Holy Spirit can manifest

into heaven I don't know how but if you

think about it every one of us that

saved we have the Holy Spirit in US

how many spirits is that

I mean let's say there's 80 million

people saved in the world is that 80

million different Holy Spirits no it's

one Holy Spirit but in that many

different places at one time so I don't

have a problem with the spirit of God

being able to manifest itself in other

ways but what are the seven spirits well

for years people have asked that

question and tried to figure it out I

don't know I'll give you a thought on it

that some have and maybe this could be

it but then again maybe not we'll see

let's go to Isaiah chapter 11.

I think that it's the Holy Spirit

manifesting itself in seven different

ways at one time

and it has to do with light

and the spirit has to do with wind

it has to do with a lot of things

but in Isaiah chapter 11 and verse 1 and

2 look what it says

and there shall come forth a rod out of

the stem of Jesse and a branch capital B

shall grow out of his roots who would

that be that's Jesus Christ the branch

and the spirit of the Lord shall rest

upon him okay now watch this the spirit

of the Lord shall rest upon him the

spirit of wisdom and understanding the

spirit of counsel and might the spirit

of knowledge and the fear of the Lord

so if you take the first one as the

spirit of rest then there's seven there

the spirit of rest the spirit of wisdom

Spirit of understanding Spirit of

counsel the spirit of Might the spirit

of knowledge and the spirit of the fear

of the Lord

so that might explain I don't know maybe

it doesn't I don't know but I find that

very interesting that there just happens

to be

but what does that all have to do with

wisdom understanding counsel knowledge

well the Bible is like light

and a fire is light

and so to me it's like illumination the

holy spirit of God is to illuminate us

the devil counterfeits that he wants the

Illuminati

naughty they are naughty all right you

know bad the Illuminati I think they

should spell it the way they really are

but the Illuminati wants illumination

your secret societies what do they do oh

we it's our secret illumination come to

us for the for the hidden light masonry

so they're counterfeiting the true thing

the true thing is light Psalms 119 130.

let's look at some verses about this and

uh and you look at the Bible you see

that God is light and in him is no

Darkness and the holy spirit's job is to

illuminate Enlighten things the word of

God is like light but the holy spirit

opens our eyes the more we read it and

shows this thing you you can't

understand the Bible without the Holy

Spirit the Bible says it's there to

guide and Lead You

but uh Psalms 119 130 says the entrance

of thy words giveth light you giveth

understanding into the simple

now look at Ephesians 1 Ephesians

chapter 1.

we're turning to a lot of verses here

but I want you to get these are y'all

having a good time hey man ain't it fun

to study the Bible Ephesians chapter 1

verse 17 and 18.

so these seven spirits what on Earth you

mean I read through there I'm like I

don't I don't get it but if the spirit

is the Holy Spirit and he can manifest

in seven different ways well okay maybe

maybe that helps understand why it's a

Candlestick because a Candlestick is for

light

but in verse 17 Ephesians 1 17 that the

god of our Lord Jesus Christ the father

of Glory may give unto you the spirit of

wisdom and Revelation in the knowledge

of him well that sounds like Isaiah back

there right and it has to do with the

spirit

and then it says in verse 18 the eyes of

your understanding being enlightened

that you may know what is the hope of

his calling and what the riches of the

glory of his inheritance in the Saints

so there you go so it's the eyes of

understanding being enlightened but the

spirit is what enlightens US gives us

Revelation okay so take away a veil if

you've got a big black cloth over you

can't see you take it off you see what

first thing you see light so it's light

let's go back to Psalms 119 105.

Psalms 119 105.

so this is interesting and as I read

through the Bible I get more questions

than answers sometimes

and I just makes me want to read more

because I want my questions answered

Psalms 119 105.

Thy word is a what

unto my feet and a light unto my path

who wrote the Bible

the holy spirit inside of the believer

moved the Bible says as they were moved

to the Holy Ghost move the lips

sometimes move the hand I think and had

them write down whose words God's word

and the word of God is like light let's

see that let's go to Second Peter 1 19.

so the Bible is light did you know that

and so the spirit is like a candle like

light

second Peter

chapter 1 and verse 19.

now look at this

second Peter 1 19. we're studying the

book of what revelation

and Book of Revelation is about prophecy

second Peter 1 19 but we have also a

more sure word of Prophecy more sure

than what verse 18 a voice from heaven

what is our more sure word of Prophecy

the Bible

this book in my hand is more sure than

if I Heard a Voice shouting down from

heaven I'd question that voice who's

that

I mean are you sure you're God because

this I know is God but I don't know if

that's the devil tricking me or not I'd

rather use this than a voice you ever

talk to people say I Heard a Voice I'm

like okay the insane asylum's that way I

mean I don't want people talking and

saying they hear voices that that scares

me this is the only voice I need is the

word of God and it says in second Peter

1 19 we have also a more sure word of

Prophecy where unto you do well that you

take heed as unto a light look at that

that shineth in a dark place until the

day Dawn and the day star arise in your

hearts so the Bible is like a light that

shines in a dark place so we have lights

on in here but we have lights on in the

spirit world when we have this open in

our lap

and in our hearts it shines light into

our hearts isn't that amazing go to

Daniel chapter 5. Daniel chapter 5.

so I thank God for the light

Daniel chapter 5.

and look what it says in Daniel chapter

5 and verse 11.

Daniel 5 11. there is a man in thy

kingdom in whom is the spirit of the

Holy Gods now who is speaking well

belshazzar which is a pagan so he

doesn't know any better

and he says and he's talking about

Daniel that guy man he's got a spirit in

him

of the Holy gods and in the days of thy

father light and understanding and

wisdom weird the spirit of God is like a

light inside of you

like the wisdom of the Gods was found in

him all right and I think we have

another verse verse 14.

I have even heard of thee that the

spirit of the Gods is in thee well we

know that wasn't the spirit of gods that

was the spirit of the holy spirit of God

is in thee and that light and

understanding and excellent wisdom is

found in thee so if you want to be wise

and you want to understand and you want

to be knowledgeable you need the Bible

you need to follow this book and what's

sad to me is there are many people who

claim to be Christians and pastors they

spend most of their time reading the

books of men rather than reading the

book of God that's right a lot of your

Pastors in the Pulpit well let me tell

you what this guy says in his commentary

I try to get away from Reading

commentaries because that's what some

man says the Bible says

I could go the Bible self and see what

it says I don't need you right I got the

holy spirit that says in the Bible will

guide and Lead Me unto all truth why do

I need to know what you have to say

about it who cares what your opinion is

you know yes there's some good

commentaries out there but you got to

watch out

the best commentary is the Bible itself

so let's go back to Revelation chapter

one and I have to try to figure out

where to stop this for next week

hopefully I want to make sure we finish

up next week as well with chapter one if

we can and I'm going to do my best to go

through the Book of Revelation I'll tell

you I don't know everything in the book

and I'll point out things that I'm like

I don't know what that means but I'll

try to show you what I do understand so

what are these seven spirits

there's something to do with light

they're candlesticks and it says they're

the spirit of God so somehow the Holy

Spirit can manifest in seven different

ways

there's another seven in the Bible and

it has to do with light it has to do

with understanding and knowledge if you

want to understand read your Bible it's

a light Thy word is a light unto my path

or how's that go I forget and I'll lamp

it to my path

so verse 5 and from Jesus Christ who is

the faithful witness and the first

begotten of the dead and the prince of

the kings of the earth unto him that

loved us and washed us from our sins in

his own blood that's one of my dad's

favorite verses and that is Paul how can

that not be Paul

Paul preached through faith in his blood

Romans 3 25 the beginning of the King

James Bible if you have the old Edition

you can read their preface and it says

through faith in his blood they even

understood you got to trust the blood to

be saved it's all about thrusting the

blood and you know new versions don't

talk about that they change Romans 3 25

to where you almost don't even

understand it it's crazy so

it says Jesus Christ is three things a

faithful witness he's the first begotten

of the dead and he's the prince of the

kings of the earth now maybe that's a

good place to stop there because we've

got to get into this Prince we've got to

get into not only is Jesus a prince he's

the king so it's interesting it says and

the prince of the kings of the Earth

how's the prince over a king

you're a prince before you're a king

but later in the book Jesus is the king

of kings and Lord how can he be a parent

and a king at the same time well

he can and he was and he is so we'll

stop there I guess and we'll continue

next time but but just read verse six

with me real quick and if made us Kings

and Priests unto God and his father to

him be glory and Dominion forever and

ever amen

so that term washed in his blood when

we're saved we're Blood Washed our soul

is washed our sins are washed away in

the blood of Jesus and I'll probably get

into that more next time but what a

blessing that is he loved us and washed

us from our sins in his own blood and

someday we'll be Kings and Priests when

will be Kings over here when are we

priests here priesthood of the believer

we do not need some man going around

saying call me father and he's dressed

like your mother with the long dress on

that's what it looks like to me a big

long dress we do not need a man to get

us to God

do we so why do they have priests in

certain so-called churches if we're the

priests

many of those priests they don't get

married the Bible says the husband of

one wife

they disobey the Bible again

and many of them do what they fall into

sin molest children and Altar Boys and

things like that very sad very sad so

we'll start there we'll look at more

into this next time I guess we can take

a couple questions if anybody has a

question or anything

not me okay anybody else

any questions or comments yes sir I once

I did a study on on the southern Spirits

you know Isaiah lovely you know so I I

couldn't see like how the Holy Spirit

can get divided and since God is all

wisdom he is all understanding he is

also like cluelessly like there's a good

possibility even though it's seven

spirits each one displays its own

characteristic that makes sense I forgot

to say the first one is the spirit of

rest when you're saved what do you get

you rest I mean before you're saved

you're all like I'm hoping I go to

heaven I'm trying my best when you

realize I can't work my way there he

saved me when I believe then you're like

now I know I'm going to heaven that's

peace that brings the Holy Spirit the

fruits of the spirit so what a blessing

it is to rest in the Lord

all right good good anybody else

okay now I'm the youngest yes and we saw

that in our verse by verse through

John's study but yes and he's the one

that laid on the breast of Christ so

he's the youngest so how weird that

would look today I mean you know with

another man and I'm out and we're eating

and he goes let me lay on your chest

brother Rick I'll be like

people be like what are they so he had

to been probably

teenager or a pre teenager and he just

looked up to Jesus like a big brother so

he was the youngest so clearly he could

have written around 100 A.D or 90 A.D

but a lot of people that make fun of the

Bible say well he would have been 100

years old

yeah and so my grandmother lived to be

94. I mean a lot of people can live to

be over 100 years old and he was

protected by God supernaturally because

of that to write the book how old was

Sarah when she had a baby

duh that's called a miracle God does

those right so there's no problem with

him and if he was the youngest

Jesus was born in zero A.D died at 33

what if he was you know 15 or 20 or

something he'd only be 80 years old

right so there's no problem with that

and you go by what the history shows in

the Bible yes he was the oldest and he

was look up to as the Aged or the Elder

John the Elder like he says in first

John and he was the last one that was

alive of the Apostles and don't you know

he was still on board with Paul

ah yeah I think he was so amen anybody

else

all right we'll close there thank you

for being with us
