135.
We join our.
Condition.
And.
Jesus.
Yeah.
Just read a couple of verses.
Together in First Corinthians.
Chapter 14.
This meeting is announced as an open meeting. If one of the assembly meetings that is given to us in the New Testament, that is to be conducted in an orderly way and assured of God reports in First Corinthians 14.
Verse 29. Let the prophets speak two or three.
Let the other judge.
If anything being revealed to another considered by the 1St, hold this piece, We may all prophecy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted, And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all patricians of the States. And then back in chapter 14, verse 3.
It reads earlier in the conference.
He that prophesied it speaketh unto men to edification.
And exhortation. And comfort.
I love you, Dog. Our Father, We thank Thee for our precious Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ.
We thank thee that God was given many gifts to the church, and we know that thou art able by thy Spirit to exercise different ones that.
Those would desire to deliver a message to thy people at this particular time. And we ask, we are gone for that word from myself that would edify us or that would exhort us.
And that we comfort us as the Spirit seems to need, and that we might discern and judge.
00:05:02
What is said according to thy mind, and according to thy words? And that we might apply what we hear.
To our feet, and that there might be fruit for the as a result of our being together. And so we beseech thee that all things might be done decently in an honor, in an orderly way, and that thy people might be refraction built up in their most holy face. We pray for our brother who are traveling at present time. We ask you for thy mercies safety.
The happy time together as they consider the things of Christ, as we have been speaking.
During these last this last day in a bit and so we Ashley blessing cast ourselves upon our weakness in this day of weakness and small things.
We ask the blessing of God and Father, and the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
He returned to me with me to.
Acts chapter 17. Just read one verse there.
Couple of verses maybe.
Verse 11, Chapter 17 of Acts. Verse 11. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica in that they received the word with all readiness of mind.
And search the Scriptures daily whether those things were so. Therefore many of them believed also of honorable women, which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
There is such a thing as taking up the Word of God in the right way.
And these dear Saints and Berea, they evidently had faith. They heard the word of God, and they wanted to act upon the word of God. What was taught?
They didn't argue about it. Their hearts were prepared to receive what the Spirit of God had for them. And I just have felt.
We live in a day when the word of God is questioned and when men and women are sitting in judgment against the word of God. They say, I'm going to judge this as to whether I'll accept it or not.
And it leads to all kinds of error.
That leads to a course of disobedience and rebellion against God, against his word. You know, I we've had a few outlines at this conference and last year I was reminded that we have a little outline. I believe Brother Bill Brockmire gave us a little outline on the New Testament, on every book of the New Testament. There's a reason why God has written what He's written in His Word. And every single book of the New Testament is written with a specific purpose that the Spirit of God had.
And we ought to know what those outlines are. We ought to know what every single book of the Bible.
It's a boat. There's a little book, and it was mentioned at this conference already, short Sketches by Nick Simon. So it's a little short sketch of a page, 2 pages, sometimes 3A little outline of every single book of the Bible. And you can find it in a little book and it's maybe 3/8 of an inch thick, millimeter thick, and.
When we were young, I don't know that that existed in any other form. I used to go to the Bible dictionary. It's about two inches thick, and I used to find those outlines and read those outlines of those books.
But it's necessary for us to have a good outline, an understanding of why God wrote every single book of the Bible. And there's no reason, no excuse in the day that we live in that we don't have an intimate knowledge as to why God wrote what he wrote and who he wrote it to and for what purpose. So, you know, the Apostle Paul was used and he uses the term.
A little expression, he says.
He was Speaking of the Jew, the Gentile and the Church of God.
And Paul, largely in his ministry, addresses the distinctions between the Jew, the Gentile, and the Church of God.
Peter doesn't do it like that, John doesn't do it like that, but Paul very significantly makes a clear distinction between the Jew.
00:10:09
The Gentile and the Church of God and Paul is the one that tells us about the church and how the church is to be ordered, how it is to conduct itself, what kind of meetings it has, and how those meetings ought to be conducted.
He tells us all about how a church should be conducting itself in the fear of God and what is good order. So he uses First Corinthians and 2nd Corinthians.
Corrected the pistols. You know Galatians is a corrective epistle as well, and so he's correcting their.
False doctrine that Christianity can be mixed with Judaism, or that Judaism can be added to Christianity, or that Christianity can be added to Judaism. He's it's a corrective epistle.
But just as a little outline, I don't mean to take a long time here.
But do you know what Paul's doctrine is? What did Paul taught? What did Paul teach when we say Paul's doctrine?
Does it all of a sudden ring up and you say, yes, I know what Paul's doctrine is. If I asked you this afternoon, what is Paul's doctrine, what did Paul teach? Could you tell me?
Could you tell me in 5 minutes?
Could you tell me perhaps? I like to think in simple terms. It's really encompasses 4 major points. He speaks the Lord Jesus gave these revelations to Paul and he speaks of the remembrance of the Lord. He speaks of the coming of the Lord, the rapture and all the changes that will take place at that time.
He speaks of.
The great mystery of Christ in the church. That's Paul's ministry. Not only how the church should conduct itself, but of the great mystery that Christ is forming a church and what the material is that he's using and how it's being formed.
And then he tells us of all those things that we have, all those blessings that we have were blessed with, all spiritual blessings in the heavenlies in Christ. That's Paul. Ministry is heavenly in character.
It's not necessarily wilderness.
Instruction, you might say, although he does give us wilderness instruction in some, in the end of some of his epistles. But Paul gives us heavenly truth, and for those that are suited to be companions for Christ for all eternity, he gives us a little bit of an outline of the ways of God in connection with the church.
And let's just look at each one of those things. Let's look at the first part of.
What we call Paul's doctrine. Let's look at Ephesians chapter one. We'll just mention a couple of things. I'll mention very briefly what this what Paul taught and then you can on your own.
Make a list.
Of some of these verses of scripture.
And I think.
You know, in Brazil sometimes I've taken up this little subject and I have a little sheet of paper. I don't know if I have it in here. Yeah, I do have it in here.
I take a little sheet of paper, fold it before.
Paul doctrine really encompasses 4 major parts of our New Testament epistles. You know he wrote more than half of the New Testament. He wrote 14 epistles.
If you include Hebrews.
And so if you put down here those things that are in Christ and just start making a list.
You'll pretty soon fill up this page. This this is part of the page. Then you'll have to turn it over and then you'll have to keep going on this side.
And then you might have to get another sheet of paper and.
But you know, we should know what those things are, all those things that we have that are in Christ. And then if you talked about the Lord's coming and Paul tells us the sequence of events that's going to take place, he tells us about the changes that are going to take place. And you could write start, right, some of those scriptures here, and then you'd have to turn it over here and then keep going.
Then if you.
Read about the Lord's coming at the Lord's Supper.
The term, the Lord's Supper, the remembrance of the Lord, and the teaching that Paul gives us in First Corinthians, and so on.
00:15:06
You would cover the page.
If you spoke of the church.
Not great mystery.
Greatest secret that God ever had.
He kept in his heart from the past eternity. The Jews had no idea.
It's just little hints of it in the Old Testament.
Boaz had a gentile bride, Rahab.
The Gentile brought into the lineage of the Lord all those things. There's little hints.
But God chose to tell you.
About those secrets that he had in his heart.
Have you made any effort, have I made any effort at all, to find out what those secrets are and how great those secrets are?
He wrote them to the church and for the church.
It's good for us to read all of the Word of God. We need to read the Old Testament as well as the New Testament because the Old Testament gives us the pictures of the word of God, the pictures of the the types. That's really a major outline, wouldn't you say, Brother Eric?
The Old Testament is types and shadows gives us figures. The New Testament gives us the doctrine of what those figures meant.
And it's all about Christ.
But he wants us to know what he did at the Cross of California.
He wants us to know the value of that work and the depth of it. And so in Ephesians chapter one, he says bless it in verse three. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who have blessed us.
Half it's a present possession.
Blessed us with all spiritual blessings should say in the heavenlies in Christ.
According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestinated us under the adoption of children or sonship by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will.
To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein he hath made us accept it, in the Beloved, in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace. Well, I could go on and on.
But Paul's doctrine you could have another outline.
In Romans chapter.
16.
Let's just turn to it. I'm just going to refer to it.
You want to know what Paul taught? What was Paul's work? God gave Paul a work. He said, well, what was his gift? What was he doing? God gave Paul specific work, two things to do.
In verse chapter 16 of Romans verse 25. Now to him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel.
What's my gospel? He teaches that, doesn't he? In Romans He teaches gospel of our salvation and how we get saved, how bad the flesh is, it's incorrigible, and how great and all sufficient the work of Christ is. In the blood of Christ. He tells us all about those things.
The gospel of the grace of God was not taught in its entirety until the apostle Paul taught it and preached it. And then the second thing is, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, and so it's what God has done for his own pleasure. God did some things to please himself, you might say.
And he wanted his son to have a bride.
He wanted his son to have a bride and it was the biggest secret.
The angels didn't know. In the councils of God in the past eternity, it was determined that Christ would have the bride.
And God was not going to be frustrated in his purposes. Christ is going to have a bride, and if you're saved this afternoon, you're a part of that bride.
And so God gave Paul 2 works to do one of us, to preach the gospel, and to make that gospel known, to teach it. He taught it in Romans, defended the gospel in Galatians.
And he preached the gospel in the book of the Acts, but here.
He's telling us of how richly we're blessed in the Epistle to the Ephesians, and it's all in Christ in that little term means that really that we're blessed. We're in a place of blessing as near and as dear to God as Christ himself. All of our blessings are in Christ.
00:20:22
So he says he's chosen us in verse 4, chosen us in him.
You know what the gospel preacher preaches? Responsibility of man, Godward. And both are necessary, the sovereignty of God as well as the responsibility of man. But the reason you're here this afternoon is the sovereignty of God.
None of us is going to be in heaven, say.
I have something wherever I can vote. Not going to happen.
And so the Lord in the past eternity wanted heaven to be full. He wanted his Son to have a bride.
And he looked over those.
As only God can do, look through time up to the point of time, and that there would be a whole world full of people created.
And he said, I choose you, I choose you.
I choose you.
Before you were born, who chose you? Before the foundations of the earth were laid?
Before the foundation of the world that we should be holding without blame. Before him in love.
And so we have a place.
Before God, because he chose us, He made the choice. We didn't make the choice.
And it says that we could just point out in verse seven, it says we have redemption. It's in him or through him.
He chose you. But the Spirit of God records part of Paul's doctrine. The outline of it is to tell us all those things that he did because of the work of Christ and the Lord wanted you so badly.
They went to the cross.
And he paid the price that's purchased, he bought you.
You are serving a wicked master.
We have a picture of it in Exodus. Remember, That's a little outline, a little outline of how Satan works. Sparrow is a little picture of Satan in the book of Exodus.
And he was treating the children of Israel with cruelty and severity.
And they were in *******. He was trying to destroy them. And that's where you. That's where I was. The enemy was wanting to destroy us.
With cruelty.
And he's still working at it.
Trying to destroy.
You had the worst master you could possibly ever have.
But Christ went to the cross, and He paid the price. He shed his blood to buy you for Himself. He purchased the world and everything in it. He purchased the field and everything in it. He bought you.
You now belong to him.
But then, more than that, he redeemed you. He set you at liberty in his presence. He set you at liberty. You're set at liberty before God in Christ because of the work of Christ. So God tells us.
All of these things, it was revealed to the apostle Paul, it was a revelation. All of these things that we have in Christ. You're not going to find it in Peters ministry, you're in John's ministry.
We're in James ministry.
In Luke's ministry, that's not where you're going to find it. You're going to find it in Paul's ministry how necessary it is for us to read pulse epistles. We do need to read all of the New Testament, but it's necessary for us to have a sense of the grace of God.
That would choose you and I, before the foundation of the world, for a place of blessing to have the very best place in heaven.
As a companion.
Morally, spiritually, physically fit and suitable to be a companion to the Son of God.
For all eternity.
A place that's far better than any of the angels have were part of a new creation race.
In Christ, Second Corinthians chapter five. Well, that's just part of Paul's ministry.
Then you know he speaks of.
That great mystery.
Christ in the church. Let's look at Ephesians chapter 5.
00:25:09
Verse 24.
Therefore, as the Church is subject unto Christ.
That's when it was pristine and things were in order. Paul writes. Ephesians really from the viewpoint that everything is in good order.
The Church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives beat unto their own husbands and everything. Husbands, love your wives.
Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it, that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word, that he might present it to himself. A glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish.
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. Or no man ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the Church.
Verse 32. This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the Church.
There were a lot of secrets that God had, but this is the greatest secret. This is the biggest secret that he had.
And he says here.
You know, in the Old Testament.
He said it's not good for a man to be alone. I will make him help him.
One who is suitable of the same kind as he was.
And to be a companion and a health.
The God already had been.
You he was going to form a bride for Christ.
But he didn't count the Old Testament Saints. They had no idea.
And it says.
Really it was a picture of Christ in the church, that whole marriage arrangement, and the Jew didn't know and he abused the situation, he abused the relationship, he says. Is it lawful to divorce for any cause? Matthew chapter 19.
The right bill of divorcement for any cost. They abused the marriage relationship. They had no idea that it was a type of Christ in the church. What a privilege that you and I have in our Christian marriage is to reflect.
To this world and to one another.
The dignity and the honor of what it is for a Christian man to be married to a Christian woman.
And have Christ before their souls. And to be a picture of how in sacrificial love the Lord Jesus gave himself for his bride. He purchased her for himself.
Center at Liberty and here it says he gave himself, for it speaks of sacrificial love.
And then it says that's the work that he did in the past at the cross of Calgary. He gave himself for us. But then what's he doing now? He sanctifying and cleansing us by the washing of water, by the Word. We need the Word of God constantly before us. We need the Old Testament, the New Testament. We need to have the word of God before us every day so that we'll be cleansed as we walk through the sea.
Filthy. Filthy with sin, that's what he's doing.
But you know, there's a coming day.
Very shortly, verse 27.
He's going to present it to himself.
He's going to present you.
As a part of that drive to himself.
You know what says in the language of the Lord Jesus spoke of each one of these things in the seed plot and the New Testament.
When it comes to the coming of the Lord, he says.
If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto my.
So that where I am, there you may be also. So the Lord Jesus himself will receive us. It's going to be a wonderful reception. I've been to a lot of wedding receptions, but that's going to be a reception.
To be received into the presence of the Lord.
The King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the man, the 2nd man, the last Adam, never be another race of men. That's part of Paul's ministry as well.
But you know the Lord Jesus is going to present you to himself. He's going to present his church.
00:30:01
What a church.
You forgive me for my imagination, but I have some. When I was younger, I used to think that.
When the Lord created Adam and he formed Eve that she must have been the most beautiful woman that ever was. She probably was the most.
Unblemished woman, the most perfect.
Companion. Absolutely the perfect, perfect companion for having, wouldn't you think?
Perfect.
Created in innocence, she had the capability of sinning. She did. But when she was created for Adam, beautiful woman, I thought, you know, he, Adam, had the privilege of having the most beautiful woman ever.
Wait.
But I don't think that anymore.
I think Christ is going to have the most beautiful pride.
When the Lord Jesus presents you and I when he gets his bride.
It says here that she's going to be holy.
She's going to be without spot. No wrinkle, no stain of sin, no wrinkle, no sign of age.
Or any such thing.
Holy.
Not a taint of sin without blemish.
Christ is going to have a perfect bride and you're a part of it and he's trying to form this Christ in your.
In your moral character, your moral features presently, so that you're more and more like Christ, more and more like Him, more and more suitable, you might say, to be a companion of his.
That's Paul's doctor. He's giving us the truth.
That you and I are a part of what that secret that God had that he was going to present.
You to his son.
And he had that in his mind in this Council's before.
The world was formed.
That's marvelous truth, and you and I ought to rejoice.
That we are a part of that.
Let's.
Turn to 1St Corinthians chapter 10.
Maybe First Corinthians Chapter 11 first.
First Corinthians Chapter 11, just at the end. We read these verses so often. Verse 23.
For I have received of the Lord. There's the revelation that he got.
That which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he break it and said, take, eat. This is my body which is broken. It should say, given for you this do in remembrance of me.
After the same manner also he took the cup when he had sucked, saying, This cup is the New Testament in my blood. This do ye as OFT as ye drink it in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup, either show or announce the Lord's death till he come.
And then back in First Corinthians chapter 10.
Verse 16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
For we being many, or one bread, or one loaf, and one body. For we are all partakers of that one bread.
While I used to puzzle at this when I was younger, used to think, you know when the gospels got the same thing.
Corinthians Chapter 11 verse 23 down to 26 you got it more or less Matthews gospel, Mark's gospel, and Luke's gospel. So why does Paul have to tell him? Why is it here in first Corinthians? Always seemed to me like without a place.
But it's part of Paul's doctrine.
Why? Because in the Gospels it's told to us from a historical perspective, and we might say from a Jewish perspective.
They were still Jews, those disciples.
They were there in that upper room and there was a new thing going to be formed on the day of Pentecost was the church. But when the Lord Jesus was talking to them there, they were Jews, Jewish disciples. And it's told, as I say, from a historical perspective and maybe from a Jewish perspective, but here in First Corinthians, it's pulled to us. He tells us the doctrinal significance of what took place in that upper room and the doctrinal sign.
00:35:15
Of what it is that the Lord Jesus did and what he said to his disciples and how he asked them. Paul wasn't there. So it's revealed to the apostle Paul via Revelation. And Paul tells us some things that are not said in Matthew, Mark, and Luke.
He says he got this by revelation and he says.
One of the things he says is that we're going to be able to do this till you come.
In verse 26 Tilly come.
I can hardly imagine that we're going to be much beyond the year 2019.
October.
13th, 2019.
Some of us that lived in the past century.
Never believed that we could possibly see the year 2000. Now it's 2019.
I don't need to say anything about the moral conditions of this world.
But.
Brother Darby and his writing says that there's two things that would mark.
And he felt that would mark the nearness of the Lord's coming. And he said, as soon as these two things became quite evident, the nearness of the Lord's coming would be very, very evident, that these two things, that there would be unparalleled prosperity in the Western world, unparalleled.
I've needed nothing.
And then the other thing is, he said that there would be a marked increase in violence.
I think we see both of those things, the marked increase in violence in the Western Christian world and we see unparalleled.
Prosperity.
Where you go to Mexico and the kids have cell phones.
You go to some of the poorer places in Brazil.
Kids have cell phones.
Prosperity abounds, but here the Lord tells us we're going to remember Him till He comes, and then He tells us about the cup of blessing in verse 16. In chapter 10, verse 16, He tells us about the cup, and He tells about the cup because it's the basis of our blessing.
And Paul tells us the significance of that cup. There's a cup of blessing. It doesn't represent the judgment that the Lord Jesus bore.
On the cross, it doesn't represent the cup of judgment that he was looking at.
And anticipating.
As a part of his sufferings.
When he was in the Garden of Gethsemane. It doesn't represent. That's not the cup.
The cup that we have on the table, that cup of wine, represents a cup of blessing and it represents the blood of the Lord Jesus.
That was shed to bring you in the blessing.
God wanted you to be reconciled to Himself.
But the send his son into this world.
And to be able to have you in his presence without any fear as a priest.
To offer sacrifices of praise and Thanksgiving to God.
It cost him the blood of his son.
That's why it's a cup of blessing we bless.
Is it not the communion or the fellowship of the blood of Christ? And then the loaf which we break, Is it not the communion or the fellowship of the body of Christ?
Where we, being many, are one bread or one loaf and one body. We are all partakers of that one loaf, one bread or one loaf.
So when you take a little part of that loaf on the Lord's Day morning and you eat it.
You're publicly proclaiming that you're a member of the body of Christ and you're having fellowship with the Lord, and you're remembering that He died for you.
So this is called ministry. He brings this before us. And so you could categorize all those things that we have that are in Christ and you.
Could develop a little bit of an outline throughout Paul's epistles.
And get a list of those things, a list of those things that have to do with Christ, the mystery of Christ and the church. You could get a list of those verses of Scripture that give us a little bit of indication as to the remembrance of the Lord.
00:40:09
Paul's doctrine was given to Paul.
The last one is the coming of the Lord Jesus. Let's just read.
1St a couple of verses in First Thessalonians chapter 4.
I would not have you to be ignorant rather than concerning them which are asleep that you sorrow not even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, Even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you, by the word of the Lord. There's the revelation that called off. He got it from the Lord. He didn't learn this from the Old Testament scripture.
He learned it from the Lord himself.
That we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent or go before them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, the voice of the Archangel, the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Now I'm going to point something out.
At the beginning of verse 15, put a bracket. If you don't have a bracket in your King James Bible, I believe Mr. Arby's Bible translation has a little bracket there. There's a parenthesis between. So verse 15 right down to the end of verse 18 is a parenthesis.
And he says in verse 14, he's Speaking of the appearing of the Lord Jesus. The Lord Jesus coming is in two parts. You know what it is? He's going to come for his Saints.
1St.
And then he's going to come with his Saints.
Roughly 7 years later at the appearing.
The Old Testament Saints knew about the appearance.
They knew in Zechariah it says that he'll come with all of his Saints, and I think it's in Jude it says, quoting Enoch, that he's going to come with 10 thousands of his things. That meant that he's going to come with all of them.
The Old Testament Saints, they knew that the Lord Jesus was going to come and he was going to set up his Kingdom and he was going to come with all of his Saints, but they didn't know any details. They didn't know how did they get up there?
How did all the Saints get to be together? How did they get, how did their bodies get up there? They didn't know any details.
Really, they knew a little bit.
But it's Paul's ministry that tells us about the resurrection and gives us a distinction between the time that the Lord Jesus comes for his Saints and when he comes with his Saints. And so verse 14 tells us that he's going to come.
With his Saints.
These Saints that God is going to bring with him.
And then he tells us about the rapture in verse 151617, gives us a sequence of events that will take place, and so on.
Why is it important for us to know what Paul taught about the coming of the Lord?
I was in a meeting room.
Not too long ago.
And a brother asked me to have.
To have a chat with a brother that used to be in fellowship at the Lord's Table.
Asked me if I would visit with him. I said well I would visit with him and.
We met at the meeting room, he came over. Hasn't been in fellowship for several.
Years.
And he said he didn't believe in this anymore.
He didn't believe that there was a coming for his St.
And he didn't believe that there was.
A distinction between his the appearing and the rapture, he said. It's all one event.
And he said more than that, he said that there's going to be a revival very shortly, and all of the Christians are going to join together and the world will become.
A better place, So on and so forth. And there's going to be a major revival, and then the Lord is going to appear and set up his Kingdom, and we're helping him.
This way.
Well, you know, we had a.
00:45:01
A little time I was with that brother, maybe half an hour, and I went over these passages of Scripture and gave the distinctions of what Paul talked about, the coming of the Lord, the sequence of events, and the mighty change that's going to take place. And the three stages of the first resurrection, right? There's three stages to the first resurrection. Christ is the first fruits.
And then there's going to be the Rapture. That's the second stage and it's almost there. And then the last stage of the first resurrection is spoken up in Revelation chapter.
We went all over those distinctions.
And that your brother, he is a brother in Christ, argued and argued, argued, and we would not bow.
Fruit of God.
Love it brethren. We need to have an outline of what Paul teaches and why.
He wanted us to know.
That we're a part of the bride of Christ, and Christ is coming through his bride.
That's the next event that we're waiting for and has already been mentioned in these meetings, that the prophetic clock will not start again until the church is removed from this world and.
And then there's going to be an agreement made between Western Europe, the European nations, some call them the United States of Europe, who called the revived Roman Empire. But in Europe, sometimes they call themselves the United States of Europe.
America is withdrawing a little bit.
In Europe is coming in to fill that void. I believe that Europe will become more and more prominent in the Middle East very shortly.
And.
You and I have to recognize that the Lord Jesus is going to remove His church.
They're going to sign an agreement. Israel is going to sign an agreement with their Western European Union or the follow up to that organization, United States of Europe. They're going to sign an agreement for protection and as soon as they sign it.
The seven-year period that last seven years, the last prophetic week of Daniel will begin to March on and so the prophetic clock will start. We need to know what Paul was teaching and we need to have an outline of it. I just would encourage you.
To mark in the little outline in your own Bible on A1 sheet of paper, even if it's only a few verses and then when you find another verse just add it to your little list and get yourself a good list. I have lists in the back of my Bible.
Pages of some of these things to enjoy and to have a good clear grasp of it when I'm trying to think of something that way. Well, me the Lord bless that and may you feel the exercise to.
Record and to search out some of these outlines.
