7 Visions 05 - 4A LORD Over History Future

So as we get underway, I want to really set a really good stage and I've asked Rhonda to give you that instruction this morning over how we kind of need to look at how things are about to change.

So he told me this on the way to 270, so I'll just tell you that he loves Revelations, love digging in. Not always been one of my favorite books. So our conversations at the dinner table. This way, you can imagine how they've been because he likes I read this. What do you think about this? And I'm like, okay and so finely, as we were kind of summing things up last night. He's going through all these groups, of course, I've told him all week, I said we can't stay at church all week because I was so you're going to have to whittle down something. So we were going through different ways, you can interpret and stuff and I and so I finally came back with. I said there's a lot of ways you can interpret that with different things Revelation since I have to focus on what happens at the very end. Now, I have to tell you, I'm one of these people, if I'm reading a sad story, I have to go to the back to make sure there's a happy ending or I will not finish. The book, same thing with movies because I don't have to know there's a happy and So, with that being said, there's a lot you can pull out in Revelation. A lot of things that you can kind of get bogged down on him, just feel kind of a sadness because there's a lot of things that will come to play. But when we read the very last part of Revelation, as you've all heard we win, it's if it's a happy story. So the biggest thing is the next week or two or that, you know, there's a lot of information and it can get a little overwhelming sometimes, but we need to focus, not focus on, sometimes all the details. But what's at the end? And that we went and then just a verse that I think is just a great verse. Sometimes that we think through all these things is, we have joy in the Lord and then joy of the Lord is our strength and one of my favorite verses is Romans 15:13. It says, now they now may the god of Hope. Fill you with all joy and peace as you believe, so that you may overflow with hope the power of the Holy Spirit. No matter what, the Lord brings to eat, or whatever happens in our lives, may not be something that the Lord bring him. It may be just the world. We tend to get bogged down but we win in the end and we have Jesus Christ in our hearts. That's all that matters. And so I told him, I said as he talkin through these things, I'm just going to keep living my life. As I know, that's just as spreading the lot of the of the Lord and having joy in knowing that we when a man and it's all about having that relationship with Jesus. So if you don't have a relationship with Jesus, none of this is really going to make a whole lot of good since, you know. So thank you. Rhonda Bond job. I didn't want you to pressure too much over. That's why I didn't tell you until we were on our on our way here. So, by the time she always does. Well, today we're going to focus on chapter 6 through 11 from a high-level point of view. So what do we learn from the first vision? Lord of the cosmos. What did we learn?

And he's in control of everything. He's in control of everything. Where is he? Outsider. Right hand of the father, right hand of his father, but we saw him Lord over there, he is. Everywhere we saw him as lord of the cosmos and he is in, he is in heaven, throne room, right now. Then we looked in Revelation 2 and 3 we saw him Lord over his church, what we learn Seven churches were in. So they're not only in a mess but they were all sent to all seven churches. And are they applicable to us today or over the heavens lord of the heavens? And how many heavens and Lord of the heavens water wheel arm?

It was just the elders, Not Angels Elders Are Not Angels.

Grainger mobile and, and God created them all. But when we look at the heaven, we see the throne, and we see the 24 Elders around the throne, with see the sea of glass, and we see the other half of the rainbow because it encircles the throne room, right? So we see this Granger, we see that God is in control, everything is working for him. So I shared with you about the heavens and I wanted to open that up just a little bit more today, not going to spend a whole lot of time cuz this isn't my focus but just a few quid versus and Deuteronomy the heavens. And so if there's only one, why would you pour or was it right? So the in heaven, the heaven indeed. The highest Heavens twice here along to the Lord your God. So does the Earth and everything in it. And Psalm 148 hallelujah, praise the Lord from the heavens, Praise Him in the height 1st Kings 8:27 but we'll go. Andy live on Earth. But even Heaven, the highest Heaven cannot contain use Visions for 10, the one who to send it. Is also the one who ascended, far above all the Heavens to feel all things 2nd Corinthians 12:2, I Know a Man in Christ who was caught up to the third heaven, 14 years ago, whether he was in the body or out of the body, I don't know, but God knows. All right. So, as hermeneutic principles are, you always used scripture to verify scripture and so is you look through the other passages, they all support that there's more than our typical picture of one heaven and you agree. All right, so let's dig into that. Just a wee bit. Not much these three Heavens correspond to the sky. In outer space, the invisible, spiritual realm surrounding Earth and the dwelling place of God, we're believers. Spend eternity, the first heaven and Compass has the atmosphere and Intergalactic space such as the cloud lightning, rain, stars planets, and moons comprising, a vast physical composite of Heaven. The second heaven may represent the Stellar spaces and serve as the Abode of angelic creatures and then the third heaven whose location remains unrevealed. Is God's Dwelling Place the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and represents the present. Divine Purpose to populate it with redeemed humanity and here's the song, this car Park, Heights, structure difference fundamentally from other religious system such as Hinduism or Mormonism, which employee multiple Heavens to denote different levels of spiritual achievements. Rather the biblical framework distinguishes rounds by their nature and function, the material that spiritual Angelic and the Divine Eternal. So, as we look at our heaven, r3hab, This is where we're looking at. Now, we're going to talk about that will will get dig into the heavens another day. But today, remember, the Bible is the story of redemption. The whole Bible is the story of redemption and Revelation is the! It is the, the, the point at the end, this is this is where we're going. So the Old Testament focus is on if you will The Adventures of the Jewish Nation. So you look at the Old Testament, you know, you look at the Jewish nation and in the different tribes of Israel as they go through, literally the Old Testament and the Old Testament stories. Remember we talked about even in Genesis 22 with Abraham and Isaac and the sacrificing of Isaac sun. And there's 11 parallels between Genesis 22 and Jesus on the cross. So that, you know, we're always getting the portraits. And every story in the Old Testament is pointing to a New Testament Revelation, right? And so it was talking to us about the coming messiah in the Old Testament. And then Daniel 9, 26 and 27. All of you familiar with that all points is to Revelation as well. That's one of those key passages. But I also want you to look at Ezekiel chapter 37, the Valley of the dry bones, especially verse 11. Ezekiel 37 is where you see the valley of dry bones that were just spread out everywhere and literally, there they are, the dry phone spread out, you know, wherever hair ever and in, so that has significance into, and I want to show you that for the end chapter to 2829, also talks about Israel's Spiritual, Awakening, Israel, Spiritual Awakening that is yet to come. Okay. Keep that in the New Testament allows us to walk with Jesus. Oh, Jesus was here. We were able to walk with him and we were to learn directly from him. We also got to see the depravity. You are seeing what the true cost of our standing. We've gone through the Romans, Romans 3:23 623, we talked through the Romans road, right? And so we've learned about the cost of our staff and have it revealed to us because when Jesus looked it up and and were able to see him he reveals to us all of that area of our scent and even today is special even today. He reveals that to us got to remember that in Genesis, we saw the first out of him were Adam and Eve and Judgment of all creation because sin entered at that moment in time. And Genesis 3, 15 is for that judgment occurs and we talked about Genesis 3 15, but do remember this. God has predestined all of us to spend eternity with him. Because I think back before Genesis 3 15 God did what with Adam and Eve. That was a question a lot of things he walked with them all the time. He was think they communicate. They did all these things, his desire God's desire. Is that we would spend eternity with him and that's still his desire and then Satan trick Adam, and Eve. He led them astray. And that's where sin entered. And when sent in God's that, I love them so much. I love them. I want to spend eternity with him, but I cannot allow sin into my Heaven. Sin cannot enter Heaven. So, here is the path that we're going to lay out. So that way, we can spend eternity together, so he sent his son, Jesus died on the cross, he was crucified, he was raised from the dead, three days later and then he ascended to heaven after that time. Right? And when he ascended into heaven, he also assured. What the helper? The Holy Spirit would be coming. And so when you look at John 21 right before the Ascension, he gave instructions to John and Peter, in to feed my lambs, and so in John, 21, and you look at John and Peter, right? In that passage, it is all about pastoral care and Leadership. So that is where we set up caring for those who are sick and those who are suffering. And then that leadership, this is how the church is to be. This is how we conduct ourselves, as followers of Christ Church was then established in Acts chapter 2. And it's a day of Pentecost in that happened on about 8029. So it's 29, a d is the day of Pentecost, and that's when you saw the Holy Spirit descending speak through the apostles in that time. And before that, it really was a community of Believers. But the church, our church was officially established in 29 AZ. We are living right now in the church at 8 and the church ages from 2980 to now and be on until Christ comes again. So we're in Revelation Chapter 2 and 3. This is where we are. That's why there's into that I shared two weeks ago is Lord over his church from Revelation Chapter 2 and 3 that is where that is so important because those seven churches, the seven churches of 7-letter. All tell us how we are to conduct ourselves right now. I'm not going to dig today, but if you want to go back and look at some parallel passages, you look at Matthew 13, which is all of The Parables, not all of them. But here are The Parables, right? When you look at Parables individually. They are individual teaching individual lessons each way, but they also collectively. When you go back and look at them one right after the other, as Jesus was telling them, they all paint that picture of what's to come in Revelation. So that you do you want to see? Jesus told us of things yet to come and how it's going to unfold and your lesson is found in Matthew 13. In The Parables, there is a direct parallels, if you want to go back and really think deep that's where you can go and and really kind of your mind. Wow. Haha, I didn't realize that, but it is that full picture. When you read them one right after the other, Matthew 24 talks about the signs of the end, the signs of the end time, that is to come. And if you read those and that's why I listed them here, one right after the other. When you read through that, this is the story of Revelation. If you will all can Bite into Matthew 24. So if you read Matthew, 13 and 24, you'll get to see that overarching picture. So now and before we get into Revelation 6, we need to get out of here so that's the Rapture of the church. You can look at all through scripture and you're never going to find a verse that says the church was Rapture. Okay? That's that's so with that. We also know though that there's additional scripture that supports and that's where we believe and that's where I believe comes from. You can go read John 14, 1, through 3 and 1st Corinthians 15:51. 254 on your own. I'm going to end 1st Thessalonians, 4:13 through 17. What is the full passage? I'm going to dial in 1st Thessalonians, 4 to these three verses for. We say this to you by a word from the Lord, we who are still alive at the Lord's. Coming will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. Now, falling asleep. You know, you might equate with dying here on this Earth, but it is literally falling asleep. It is the portal. It is the doorway, in which we leave this world, and move into the spiritual world with Christ Jesus, right? So those, we are still alive at the Lord's coming. So when the Lord comes, when the Lord comes back in and he comes on the clouds and he calls us up to be with him when that happens, if you're not dead. Do you go up or do you die? You go up the Lord's. So we who are still alive at the Lord's, coming will certainly not proceed those. In other words, those who have fallen asleep will be caught up and then we will all go to heaven. Together at that moment, when Christ comes for the Lord, himself will descend from the heaven with a shout and the archangels voice. And with the trumpet of God and the dead in Christ will rise first. So we so that's going to be a glorious time when that comes in. He descend from heaven with a shout out. So he comes down and then we who are still alive. We who are still alive, who are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air to meet the Lord in the air. So he has not yet set foot back on this Earth. He has met us in the clouds, right? And we have been called up to him. So, we will always be with the Lord. Now, I put in here, this is, Jason's are thanking knock. So most of you are familiar with Enoch, and I want you to think of me, not somebody tell me real quick. Something that significant about Enoch that I want to know. He did not die. He was, he was righteous, but there's more than just that I think the biggest thing is the picture is he was caught up in to have knee was just called up to heaven and there he went. So Now that the church has been raptured, by the way, who the church we are. We are the church case. People who believe in Christ people who say, I'm a follower of Christ. People who ultimately have that relationship with Jesus. Dear, Jesus. I know that I am a sinner. I know that I've broken your laws and I am so sorry for breaking your rules. Dear Lord, Jesus, please forgive me and come live in my heart to be my savior and my Lord, those who have prayed that prayer, those who have that relationship with Jesus will be gone during the Rapture and then 6:6 Christ opens history, the lamb is Sovereign, and he is in control. He has everything under his control. There's nothing that happened that he doesn't ordained or call for ski is in control and it's not chaos, okay? And here's the other years, this summer here, humanity is exposed. The seals reveal our condition and our need for justice. And most people think that and let me paint this picture for you. So most people think that it is a things happen against us, what happening ultimately is God is removing his hand of protection. So is God removes his hand of protection. We are no longer protected from the attacks of the evil wants. God does not do bad things to us. Say that with me. God does not do bad things to you. Why do bad things happen to good people? God doesn't do that. That is because of our sinful nature that is here on this Earth. From Genesis 3, 15. It is against God's nature. We have studied that it is against God's nature to let anything bad or to cause anything bad to happen to us. But as we push God away, as we push God, out of Ghouls as we put God out of churches, as we put God out of our Lives as we pushed it away from where we are, he says, okay. And he begins to remove his hand. His protective hand from us and Satan then is able to attack us ever more. So that's why it's so important that we maintain a collective body. That's why you have to maintain prayer. That's why you have to maintain that relationship with Jesus. God, preserves his people and he does with his identity and you all know this as well because the Holy Spirit comes in and surrounds us when we give her life to Christ and he surrounds us into the father's hand. And we are sealed right there because we belong to Christ. And then the warning, that's a trumpet to begin to unfold spatial Mercy within the judgments because the trumpets sound, but there's still a chance that you can say, oh Lord, I have messed up and I ask that you be my Savior and Lord even after the first Brakes, because there's a purpose and each of these things. The mission continues though. There's an interlude that happens. Just sold it in kind of sit back. Catch your breath a little bit. All right, and then we move forward and the seventh trumpet declares God's final Victory. And here we are cuz God says, you know, hit this is this is our picture. So The Sovereign Christ he opens history history unfolds when Christ decide to break the seal, and then judgment is not chaotic. But it is governed. And it is one seal one, seal one seal, by the way, those aren't just like once. And wait, a few Dozen Years. He's our got Galloping event said they, he opens and the seal happened. But they are not chaotic. They are very govern and structures, judgment. As a revelation, know, the seals expose what already lies in our hearts and that is literally as a seal happened. Pandas is removed. His protective Force has the angels in awhile, Satan's savings realm to come in and Trunature, our propensity for violence, scarcity, death and false peace, all of those things, just begin to happen. Even more so and more prevalent as things continue. Hope inside of judgment though. Even early judgments contain restraint God limits the amount of Destruction because, remember, he's in control. He is removing the hand of judgment. The seals open human scent is exposed and God protects his people. Ultimately, that is exactly what happened before. Horsemen, the horsemen it come out. Is a portrait of humanity self-inflicted. Run. We have already done this and it's simply God removing his hand and The Four Horsemen represent our again, our desire for violence and scarcity and you think about it, didn't do the human desire, a scarcity, death and deception, and human violence. That is in our nature. Is it not? And you just look on the news and you see plenty of it. But then there's a cry for justice and you remember reading about the martyrs that are there in in Revelation 4 and 5, right? And then Cry For Justice tomorrow, under the altar evil, that God hears every Injustice and will answer. So, no matter how you been Afflicted, no matter what Injustice comes against you, who hears that God dust and when we let those that come against us all our hook and we place them on God's hook godz in justly stands out the appropriate amount of judgment so that way they can hopefully come to know Christ. And that's that's important of one of the importance of forgiveness, The Cry of their Martyrs God hears, Injustice and he promised his Vindication on his terms which are righteous terms and not on our. It's all about what. God desires, many seals people. And so, we are sealed. And in so protection before intensification and God seal, he protects his people, those that are his believer and his Believers, by the way are mentioned in Revelation chapter 7, which are who

144,000. Remember, reading about those judgments of what happened is, the seals begin and there's people cuz the Raptors already occurred. I'm out of here. So the rafters occurs, then the seals begin and there's going to be people that began to hear that awful thunderstorm that they begin to hear and see those things that come. And if they do, they realize my faith is an atheist isn't as strong as it. Once was, God, is God, and Jesus is Lord and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord, right? And so as they began to confess that that is for, you get into the great multitude and they began then to see and they say, I am a believer in Jesus Christ is My Savior and Lord and will Jesus accept them into his family at that time. The answer is yes. If you humble yourself and say I want to be a child of the king, forgive me of my sins. Jesus will receive you, right then, but as the is as the children of Israel and the church, the church of this Aid witnesses. As calling got people exist to testify in a world under judgment and we're under judgment even today. What is our job? To testify to testify what God is doing, what he's got going on. And then there's going to be a silence in heaven, as you read through, there is a pause in heaven, just a just a silent and just An awkward silence and a dramatic. Pause. Before the next wave to say this is in control. I am in control, I have everything structure. This happens. According to my wheel, I am in command and this is under my will. And when the next round starts you know, it controlled and if you're here on this Earth, You can't help but know that Jesus is controlling what's unfolding, The Trumpets, They strike a third of the world, they signal that, I hate, this is this things are about to get worse and this is the word really about to see some stuff. The warning judgment, Escalade spiritual realities are unveiled, so you're beginning to see. I once once the Holy Spirit and it removes and the angels, the guardian angels protecting us from Satan's attack. Once those are removed, you really be Game to see this. And that's what the trumpets are sounding. They're removing the protection, the protective covering that we have. Judgments are in thirds though. If you go back and eat, you see the judgments are in thirds and their partial destruction is meant to awaken repentance. So it is as I literally take some sense into you, remember when

And that's what's going on. That's what's being said, his listens. And so the land to see the rivers, the sky that all suffer and it's all remember Genesis 3, 15, was it just man that was curse or was it all of creation Creation with curse? That's right. It's not just human time, it was everything soul and sea River Sky? They all suffer because of Humanity's Rebellion against Christ back in the Garden of Eden. Listen here, read this with me. God is never depicted as the agent who carries out judgment instead God and His Holy Angels, hold agent of Destruction at Bay and restrict their activities to protect God's people. And he's doing that today. He is protecting us from the evilness that comes against us. So you'll see demonic plagues that unfold in this time spiritual real. He's beyond that are behind the human Rebellion. You got to think when I see someone rebelling against the goodness of God, it is because they are under the influence of evil evil has entered into their life and they are being pushed in a certain way. The judgment is God's permission, granted to demonic forces when human Rebellion reaches the point where restraint is withdraw. So that's what's happening here. As you see the Judgment that's unfolding in these chapters and this is the next true that are of unrepentant. Human refusal to repair, they dig in, and they say there is no way and yeah, I'm not doing that. You're wrong. And I said that they just kick in and they cannot see the truth. Just, you know, the scales are over their eyes, and they can't see the real truth of what's going on. And it doesn't matter what's going on around them. They will not admit that they are wrong, sounds like you even some folks today. Then they will know. admit that they are wrong even though they clearly are so The mighty Angel and the little scroll, John receives a recommissioning for claims God's word even when it's sweet and bitter. So there is a lesson here even though sometimes you have to deliver better and you have to deliver better news in truth, and righteousness and love, right? Measuring the temple. God, protects the inner reality of his people while out of pressures intensify. So, God is protecting us on the inside our spirituality, but we may be inflicted from the outside, so you may suffer from the outside forces, but your inner spirituality, your inner self is always there. Now, I want to talk to you about the two witnesses. A symbolic picture of the churches prophetic Ministry, faithful opposed seemingly defeated but yet ultimately Vindicated do not lose Sikeston Church. Even today is pressured against we are opposed constantly right now. Today or yesterday, it said the church is enough. Christians are another church for problems and that was said by one of the u.s. senator hopeful. So you got to realize infiltrating into our government is this mindset right here, but we are still God has us under his control. So here's what's happening. The kingdom of the world has become the kingdoms of our Lord, and it signals a turning point. So we come through and things have changed to an end. So Satan and all his minions and forces and everybody there, like, okay, God has set the stage and he is now a his kingdom is coming, Thursday, judgment and reward, God, judges rebellion and then it came to his servants. And so that is coming through all of that. So the Heavenly Temple open revealing God's presence as the anchor of all events. So it is God's presence. That is the anchor for everything is going on is because God has said This is what happened. So let's pack up and look at these these right here. Hang with me, this is it gets exciting right here and you've read those. What does he'll represent his ownership, they belong to God, they belong to God. That's why they're sealed. We are sealed because we who we belong to God's protection, not necessarily from suffering, but from Ultimate spiritual home. So that you're protected by God authenticity, God knows his people individually and precisely and you can look at those passages and you can see exactly that mission Readiness. We are sealed before the intensification of judgment. So God, still Dusk. And then the judgement intense about once you were sealed, you're protected from what those evil forces, that can cause you to go astray, you're here, the function of the seal that still protect God's people during judgment, not from judgment. Read that again. The seal protects God's people. Bring the Judgment. Not from judgment. We will be judged by God. One day through. Do you have like this? That is coming today. You are preserved spiritually, while the world undergoes upheaval. So spiritually, you are preserved. Your soul is saved. Your soul is written in the Lamb's Book of Life. You don't have to worry about that. They are marked as faithful witness is not as Spectators Witnesses, because they are there firsthand and they are. Then telling about God's Almighty word, they are sharing that they are not Spectators on the outside just taking it all in there, right there in the middle of it and they are secured for the Lambs Mission and ultimate Victory. It is there. So you can go back and you can look at Ezekiel 9 God marks the Fateful before judgment is Ezekiel 34 God speaks out his scattered flock to bring them together. A Exodus 12 God distinguishes his people during the plagues remember Exodus well and in the place they The eight children of Israel were set apart. While they play the Egyptians write, John chapter 10. The shepherd knows his sheet by their very name. Every single, she is known by their name. Every single one of us is known by God, the Father Revelation 7 describe the Jewish believers who come to face during the tribulation. These are that's that's there. There's 144,000 that are little Israelites who served as evangelist during the tribulation. They are the Evangelist during the tribulation and where did they come from? But Ezekiel chapter 37, remember the Valley of the dry? Bones them, dry bones are everywhere and they they are dry, spiritually spoke. Joel tells us that there's going to be a what Spiritual Awakening and and you read Ezekiel 37 in all those bones come together and it's the 144000 12 tribes of Israel that are scattered to all throughout the world. They all come together and they form this hundred, forty-four thousand there, Demonstrates that Israel's Covenant calling. Israel's Covenant College to be a light among the Nations continues. In eschatology, gold. Fulfillment through a converted Remnant empowered by God's work Lane Redemption globally. That is their purpose to be a light among the Nations will Drake, how do you know that? Well, that's because these passages and Isaiah tell me that. So, you can go read those in Isaiah to figure that out. Israel is used to preach salvation and Isaiah and Zachariah. You do fulfills that scripture right there. So Israel is that nation, that does that the great multitude is, are those that were saved in the ministry of 144,000. So you see the great multitude and the judgments and the seals and the trumpets are unfolding. That makes up the great multitude. The Jewish Nation or Israel then become the book ends with the church in the middle. And so remember the church is raptured and 1st Thessalonians. So the church began when 2980, right? And so what happened, all the people before that, all of the Israelites, all the Jewish Nation before that, okay? That's questions. So that's the Jewish nation. That is, that was going to cry. And then you had the church age right here in the Middle where we're at Revelation, 2, and 3. And then you have the Rapture of the church where we're going. But then what comes after that is the Jewish. So the Jewish Nation, then becomes the fukien. So that way the Jewish Nation, that's one of the 144,000 or sealed and are so important to the most prominent, do you identify as I just switch gears. I clutched, the following shift it into a here so that's the 144,000. So the Jewish nation is a lot of the world and they book in the church who is in the middle. And we are Rapture out from this age. The most prominent view, who are the witnesses is Elijah. And Moses and you can see that through these past It just here. But this Senator is probably the most important sentence in this next section. There is no dogmatic evidence. And yes, that's for grammar, and that's on purpose because I want you to get that message. There is nothing dogmatic. And what I'm about to tell you, this is all of theories of greater theologians than me ever. So, the reason for that, is it rest on several convergences, they are described as the two olive trees and the two, lamp stand that stand before the Lord of the earth directly at going, Zacharias Vision, where the two olive trees, represent the two anointed, one who stand by the Lord, on the whole Earth. So Elijah appears as a natural candidate because Malachi promises that God will send the Prophet Elijah before the great and terrible day of the Lord come. And that's in Malachi. Say, Elijah was taken up into heaven, in a whirlwind from 2nd Kings suggesting, he never died and could return now, Not only was Elijah taken up in a whirlwind but he knock was also. So what's the difference in Elijah and Enoch and and Moses, what do these have in common? Moses is paired with Elijah because both appeared together during the Transfiguration talkin with Jesus. And you can see that and Matthew and Luke the miraculous signs of Moses. And I don't read ahead of me, the miraculous signs of Moses and Elijah match those performed by the witnesses. So the two witnesses, they did this Elijah called down fire from heaven and shut off the rain. And you can see that And those passages from Revelation first and second king Moses, he turned water into blood and struck the Earth with plagues from Exodus 7. And we know that too, right? We all agree that the truth, the pairing of Moses and Elijah as the two witnesses aligns with this pattern and I'm coming in for a phone Landing. Here's one represent those who died and are resurrected so those who have fallen asleep and they are resurrected would be like whom Moses, the other represents those taken without death, and that would be those who are called up. Remember? 1st Thessalonians 4, we will be caught up with him in the air when I come. So the other is Elijah who was just taking up, right? So, we who are in The Rapture will be just taken up into there. So then you have represented both and together, they Encompass, both paths with both, Pathways Pathways to eternal life that scripture presents. Okay? So you look at Elijah and Moses, and given what their miracles in their ass, if they did here on this Earth and then one was taking up the other one died and they're both in taken into having both of those are two Pathways and how they got into heaven. So, looking at that, one represents who died in a resurrected, the other represents who was taken without death and Rapture and together, it's both Pathways. And so, with that being said, next week, we talk about Revelation, chapter 12 through 15, which is a parenthetical view. This is who the players are at. We're all dealing with his we roll through. So with that father, we thank you for today. We thank you for your blessings. We thank you for your word. We thank you, most of all for our relationship with you, or we look forward to the day that you take. You see, fit to come and take us home. But until that day comes, we pray for your Grace & Mercy to make each and every day. More if we just pray that you be at Pastor Tom, as you would use him as a vessel of honor of for you that you would speak to him today. And those that are here today, Lord would hear your Mighty word and in order that you would speak to us all how 101 or weekend, we give you praise and honor and glory for all these things, amen.
