Meeting at Saint Louis, June 24th, 1964 Address by Brother Lundeen.
Stay together and #183.
Savior, come, thy Saints are waiting, waiting for the nuptial day. Thence their promised glory dating. Come and bear thy Saints away.
Come, Lord Jesus. Thus by waiting, people pray.
Ready to raise the tune for us?
All day we will.
Be.
All yours in your day.
And.
I.
14th chapter of Revelation again.
We already noticed the.
Lamb and Mount Zion with 144,000.
That's when the Lord Jesus is seeing in the coming day with his own the redeemed ones for the earth.
Mount Zion is on the earth.
And as we were noticing that his feet will yet stand on the Mount of Olives.
Because she is very close to Mount Zion.
And just as we noticed in the book of Acts that his promise was the angels promised that the same Jesus becoming like matters you see him go, that is, to his own people. He won't appear as the warrior king, although he is that, but he'll appear for the moment to them.
So that they might.
Be given to see the Kingdom established is the seats down on the Mount of Olives.
But now the 13th verse at the end divides this chapter and brings in the day of the of the Lord.
The first part we've read was the day of the Lord. It was looking forward to it when he would come.
But from the sixth verse through the 13th we have still those things of the Book of Revelation that have to do.
With the tribulation period.
But his beats standard amount of olives. It'll be beyond the tribulation period.
There are going to be 7 years you have to be fulfilled of prophecy according to the 9th chapter of Daniel.
And.
Those seven years will be.
Days of tribulation. The last 3 1/2 called the great tribulation especially for Israel or Judah and Benjamin Big Dad.
Now there is such a thing as the tribulation welcome in Revelation that will.
Go out to the whole habitable earth, which includes of course more than Israel.
In fact, it extends over a wide area.
But after this is over, we come to the 14th verse.
00:05:04
Now the 14th verse we have.
One like the son of man on a cloud.
When you have the Shekinah glory connected with the Son of Man.
Here.
It's the day of the Lord.
Only one can ride that cloud.
It's God's own glory.
And eventually he will appear in that glory that's called his appearing. But it'll be a little later than this, because here he's on the cloud and they don't see him. He's on the top side.
It's the same expression that you have in the 19th of Isaiah where he's seen.
On a swift cloud over Egypt in judgment.
Now it could be explained something like this.
And Matthew's Gospel in the 24th chapter.
We're told no the 13th chapter story. We're told that he sends his angels.
That is, he is the same. You see. He's asking to revenge, to gather out of his Kingdom all things of offense.
Now that's the first time he's spoken of the tapping Angel as a man.
The angels of God until the change in the heavens that takes place sometime about the end of the 13th verse of our chapter. Then the whole heavens are changed. The whole administration has changed from the hands of angels to the hands of man. The Lord Jesus as a man will have the control of all the angels and it's at that time he sends his angels to cleanse out of his Kingdom. Ahead of him all things are defended, members to iniquity.
And so they're his angels from then on.
You have the same expression in Second Thessalonians, the first chapter.
When he comes out of heaven and flaming fire with his mighty angels, those are the angels of the Son of Manatee.
All of the angels of God, but now the Son of Man has taken over with all judgment, and he's been given the Angel.
According to the second chapter of.
The first.
The second chapter of.
Philippians but the Lord takes the lowest place God touched him in the highest place above Angel.
But he doesn't take that administration until about this 13th verse.
Then he comes out of heaven. According to the 19th chapter of Revelation, it's not mentioned here because this is a very very.
Large scope taken into this chapter and doesn't give all the details, but in the 19th chapter he comes out of heaven.
Riding on a White Horse, it's about the time of the 13th or 14th versus here, possibly just after this 13th verse.
But he's seen his writing on a White Horse as far as the world is concerned.
I mean on a cloud here in this verse.
That is, he isn't actually seen.
But as we noticed on another evening.
It ends with his being seen on the Mount of Olives by his people.
But then he hides himself.
And the appearing that spoken of in Scripture is later.
Now we'll read then the starting with the 14th verse.
And I looked, and behold, a white cloud, And upon the cloud one sat like under the Son of Man.
Having on his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle.
And another Angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud thrust in thy sickle and reap. For the time has come for thee to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
And he that sat on the cloud trust in his sickle in the earth, and the earth was reaped.
Now this is the direct judgment by the Son of Man.
In the tribulation period, there were no direct judgments by the Son of Man.
The sea of judgments were providential in character storms.
Earthquake.
Wars. A great conquer going through civil war, Famines, pestilence, plagues of all kinds.
00:10:02
In the trumpet judgment.
The judgments affected man's prosperity first.
The circumstances And then.
The judgments came closer till men themselves were affected.
Most of these judgments had connected with them false doctrines that were allowed to deceive the people.
Because when they had chosen their own ways according to 65th of Isaiah, God chose their delusions.
That's a solemn thing. When man chooses Satan instead of God, then God chooses his delusions.
And what will characterize that day will be great signs and wonders. Deceiving.
In which the people will be deceived in a religious way in which they think they're following the true gods. Because they've been deceived, they've refused the Christ of God. They're willing to own the God of heaven, but they will not own the God of the earth.
They will not own the God of the earth. The Lord Jesus Christ is the one who's coming to reign as the God of the earth.
As a man, and they won't own it.
And so the judgment.
That the vile judgments are direct from the Temple, where the Trumpet Judgments are from the Throne.
The Trumpet judgments are more of a political character affecting the political world.
The trumpet, the temple judgments are more of a religious character, and especially on Babylon, the Great.
Where the sealed judgments, at least the first ones, are more on the natural circumstances of man.
Which would help is to keep them separate in our minds because each one.
Increases in intensity until now the Son of Man comes forth in direct judgment for these mighty angels.
Now we get just a little picture in our minds of what this judgment will be like.
When one Angel through 185.
Assyrians wasn't in one night.
One Angel.
And you know, it didn't take two angels to destroy Sodom Gomorrah.
The reason there were two angels there, It took two of them to drag Lot out of it. His heart was so steadily.
But it would have only taken 1 Angel, you know, to destroy that city.
Now when the Lord Jesus comes with myriads of his angels, what will it be like?
Oh, what's the head of this world think of it?
Because they've given up the true God and have rejected his Son, Jesus Christ.
Now what we've read so far, down to the 16 First is the harvest.
We're told in Matthew's Gospel in the 13th chapter, the harvest is the end of the 8th.
At the end of The Age, it says world, but it means age. It's a word that's translated either age or world, depends on the context in which it's used.
The question there of the age because we know it isn't the end of the world.
Because these very scriptures teach us plainly, there will still be 1000 years reign of Christ before.
The end comes, as we have in the 15th chapter, First Corinthians. That's the end. That's when the Lord Jesus put down all authority and delivers the Kingdom up to God, even the Father that God might be All in all. Then you have the eternal state. That's the end of the present state of things.
But what we have here is the end of the age.
The age? What age?
Well, there was a certain age that began as far as Israel was concerned at Mount Sinai.
Now that will.
The present that generation expects that will not pass away till all these things be fulfilled. That's the end of this age.
It's the people that were favored of God. The Jews in prophecy surrounds the Jews.
The Church, period and all the concerns. What we have in Revelation is a parenthesis.
Both after the calling out of the church which is a parenthesis in God's ways, and also the judgments described in Revelation are parenthesis and prophetic truth.
They're only introduced by John and not known in the Old Testament.
And they were introduced because the church is a new thing, a mystery that was hidden. God was never known in the Old Testament. The prophets do not deal with it.
00:15:06
The true church is a heavenly thing and does not come into prophecy.
It's only that which had a commitment on the earth and responsibility which failed is going to be judged.
Because God will never judge his own work.
And when these judgments fall, you and I will be home in the Father's house.
While the earth experiences the wrath of the Holy God by the hand of the Son of man.
And so after those seven years that we mentioned of chastening, which they really are compared to the direct judgment.
Then the Lord Jesus comes out of heaven and the first thing we have mentioned is the harvest.
Which is the end of the 8th.
Now there are other, more severe judgments after that.
Because the end of the age is that which introduces the New age. When the Lord Jesus sets his feet on the Mount of Olives, that begins the New Age, and that's the 90th song.
Now, before we go to the last part of this chapter.
Where we have the village, I'd like to turn to Daniel, the 12Th chapter.
Because all we'll get in these two meetings on this subject is a little outline. And I believe that if we notice this outline carefully, every single fall in its place from the days of the tribulation on in our minds.
You will find that most of the writers in these subjects do not say too much of what we're Speaking of here.
And it might be helpful to trace it now in Daniel.
The last chapter.
We'll read from the fifth verse to get the line of things.
Then I Daniel looked, and behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the Bank of the river, and the other on that side of the Bank of the river. And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, how long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
Speaking now the the awful tribulations that are falling upon God's people as the Prophet sees them.
And I heard the man clothed in Lin, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand, and his left hand unto heaven, and swear by him that liveth forever that it shall be for a time.
Times and happens in half now times.
Is 1 Times. Is 2 1/2. That makes 3 1/2.
1/2 and 1/2 makes 3 1/2.
Now 3 1/2 years.
Now we can identify that yet in this chapter. To be sure of it, we'll notice in a moment.
And when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be.
Finished, and I heard, but I understood not Then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
And he said, Go thy way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried, but the wicked shall do wickedly.
And none of the wicked shall understand that the wise shall understand.
I noticed these last three verses.
And from the time that the daily sacrifice should be taken away.
And the abomination that maketh desolates that up, there shall be 1290 days. Now you'll notice that that's one month more than the time times and 1/2.
That is, the time times and 1/2 are 1260 prophetic days.
You may ask why one says prophetic day because the Jewish calendar is 360 days, not 365.
And that's the way that pathetic truth is.
Now here we have a month added 30 days.
Now this is added up and beyond the great Tribulation after it's finished.
This is added in the Texas.
To the end of the harvest. The verse we've just read in Revelation, the harvest is the end of the age.
But you'll notice there are also.
00:20:01
Some more days mentioned here.
Blessed is he that waiteth and cometh to the 1000.
305 and 30 days. Now we have 1335 days. That's 45 days more.
Now what's that for?
Well, that's what we'd like to speak of tonight.
We've already, on a previous occasion, taken in the time that reaches up to the 12190 days one month past the Tribulation.
We noticed in Zechariah 14 that the nations were gathered against Jerusalem and it was taken.
It's the day of the Lord. It mentioned in the first verse of that 14th chapter. The day of the Lord starts.
When the Lord Jesus comes out of heaven and his judgment is poured out upon the beast and the false prophets.
Who have arrayed their armies against heaven and challenged heaven.
So that the beast has taken the place of the God of the earth.
Now when we think of the origin of that man coming out of a testimony that professed.
The name of Christ on the earth and sets himself up as the God of the earth.
With them, the marvelous thing of you. It's a thing of wonderment that a man can have the name of Christ presented to him as savior and will turn around and say he's the God of the earth himself, and that's what will happen.
We're living in days when that man could be living on the earth today and going to a respectable church.
It certainly could be the Beast of Rome.
Yes, we're living in solemn days.
But he's going to come to his end at the end of the 1260 days.
Going to be cast into hell alive.
A good thousand years before Satan's cast you.
Alive with with a false prophet, with the Jews in Jerusalem, the two of them together.
Working together.
And now 2 will be apprehended and cast alive.
In the lake of fire when the Lord Jesus comes out of heaven.
But now Peter tells us that judgment must begin at the House of God, so immediately we find trouble in Jerusalem and these nations.
That you and some of you have been reading about in your son's group class that have gathered together.
The two the Valley of the Ghetto, for that great battle of Armageddon.
Those nations that had come up to resist the beast as he came down to protect Jerusalem.
Now they find the beach gone and they find themselves.
Right at Jerusalem's Gate.
They don't know what happened.
Some of them don't leave because they attack Jerusalem.
Now they may have started the attacks before it does a different plane. We know that there has been.
There have been the chastening of the Assyrian for 3 1/2 years in which the land has been leveled, the whole land. But this attack that we noticed the other evening is directly on Jerusalem.
Not on the whole land.
And we find that for those 3 1/2 years, there's been utter desolation in the land under the.
Assyrian as he sweeps through the land from time to time.
You can read more of it in the 7th chapter of Isaiah. You'll find them resting in all the desolate Valley said.
Both the Egyptians and the Syrians, but finally the Assyrians overcome the Egyptians and sweep on into Egypt.
However that may be you have it all in the 11Th chapter here, Daniel.
Except the exact timing of it may not be.
But at the end of the 1290 days, we find the Lord finally sets his feet on the Mount of Olives.
From that moment on, at the end of the age and the beginning of the new age, and at that time Israel begins to fill the face of the world with fruit, is that.
But remember, the last enemy has not yet come up.
There has been one attack on Jerusalem by the Assyrian but there will still be enough.
Now when that attack occurs, it will be the time of all the nations, not just some of them as it has been heretofore.
It will be the time of the Great Confederacy that they're warned about in the 9th chapter of Isaiah.
00:25:04
Say you're not a Confederacy.
It's the time in all the nations for being one grand confederacy. Why something great has happened to Jerusalem. They don't know what the beast and the false prophet have been destroyed in all their army. Who destroyed them? Nobody knows.
The sudden like a flash and they were gone.
The Assyrian doesn't know what happens, but he says, oh, I did it with my armies. In these pride, he assumes that his men have done it. You get that in the 10th chapter of Isaiah.
And so, for these month and 1/2, he gathers his forces.
You can read in the book of Ezekiel and you can see that he gathers them from Persia.
All the north quarters, that's gone.
Makes the last attack in Jerusalem.
He's called the Ethereum at the end.
Because he takes over the land of the original of Syria and he becomes the last Assyria.
And so the Assyrian and GOG are identified together in that way.
Turkey has been the Assyrian.
But now possibly removed, when the Lord smote those nations that came against Jerusalem repulsed the attack.
In the meantime, according to Joel 2.
The people under their priests and leaders, they cry out to Jehovah directly.
Bear thy people, O Lord.
And he told them long ago, when he formed them as a nation, if they ever got in trouble, and they called directly on him.
It here.
If they call from their hearts, he's never changed his word and he never will.
And that's true tonight, dear ones, if you call them the name of the Lord tonight should be saved if you're unsafe.
If you have gotten away from the Lord and you just come back and call on him, you'll restore yourself.
Tonight.
And so he will do for Israel when they call on his name, even though they're right in the very straight with all the.
Enemies gathered against them.
And so we read here, blessed to see that waiteth and cometh to the 1305 and 30 days. Why? Because the next attack, Israel will be on top, not the enemy. The next attack will be the full Deliverance and Zion will be founded.
In the next time they attack, when the Lord delivers them, the enemy will be completely fresh and never raise his head again.
It will be the full and final destruction of that image of Daniel.
When not only the Roman Empire, but all the representatives of the former empires who still remain.
Will be crushed once and for all, never to arrive. It's the complete total destruction of that image of Daniel 2.
Which represents Babylon or a world opposing God in a religious way.
Under Babylon, the great the harlot, or in a in a popular way to be worshipped like the beast which is called Babylon.
Or in this greatest area, who comes up to the last with all relations of the earth, take possession of Jerusalem, the center of the earth. But he finds the Lord there, and he's pressed.
Well, let's go back then to Revelation again, and we read that verse, and then we'll turn to Zachariah.
Revelation.
The 14th chapter.
Now these truths that we have here laid hold of properly will give us a great deal of light and simplify things that may be confused in our minds and other places.
17th verse And another Angel came out of the temple which is in heaven.
He also having a sharp sickle. Another Angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire. Fire is the kind of judgment that consumes.
Until everything is gone, that's the judgment of God life. And cried to the loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle saying, thrust in thy heart thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine.
00:30:00
Now what are the clusters of the vine?
Well, the grape harvest is the last. It's the vintage.
The harvest comes first when they we just gathered in. Not necessarily fresh at the moment, but gathered in.
And it's a very interesting thing to notice in the 17th chapter of Isaiah.
The farmers today have forgotten how wheat used to be gathered in.
When they have their equipment and they lose the beauty of the figure, because in those days when they gathered the wheat in, they gathered it to their bosom.
Now that's the way God is going to gather the weed in.
When he gathers the wheat in, he's going to gather to his bosom.
For her precious. And that's the way God feels towards Israel. The.
Going to gather into himself, but all the chaff is going to be reserved for the fire.
Only that which is real will be kept in the land. It's the time. The harvest is the time when one is taken before.
Today, if we're waiting for Christ, we know that will be taken out of this world for heaven.
But in that day, the one that's taken is taken for judgment. Why? Because.
The purpose is to leave those in the land who are just.
Those who have trusted in Jehovah or to take out all things that offend the members doing it.
That's what it means when it says one is taken and the others left.
Taken for judgment. Where, Lord, they say, well, where the Eagles are gathered, where the carcasses there the Eagles are gathered.
Job tells you what the Eagles mean. It means judgment.
I think it's the 33rd chapter. I don't remember judgment.
Judge was going to fall on the carcass.
Now remember, 2/3 of the Jews will be slain in the land up to the time of the 1290 days. Only the two tribes will be back in the land and 2/3 of them will be slain because they apostatize and reject the truth of the gospel of the Kingdom.
You get that in the 13th chapter of Zechariah.
2/3.
Are cut off in the land.
Remember, the 10 tribes are not yet back.
And this interval of.
One month and 1/2 That we read of in Daniel 12.
Above the month that we mentioned.
Is the time after the end of the age.
When Israel begins to fill the world of fruit, the first thing is the 10 tribes are brought back.
During that month and 1/2.
So you see, God is very orderly in his ways, and He's very orderly in the truth that he presents to us.
And I believe that oftentimes we become disorganized in our minds in these things because we venture thoughts that we shouldn't.
We should wait to see what the Spirit of God has to tell us instead of speculating on what will happen.
We should always have the scripture for what we believe, you know, because Scripture is given us truth and facts, and it's to be believed and not to speculate about.
And we should always approach it with reverence. It's the holy word of God, and there's no.
Inconsistencies nor irregularities nor discrepancies.
Every word of God is pure, and it's in its right place.
We don't understand it. It isn't God's fault.
The question Is it not a great deal of our state of soul?
And so then.
We notice here the clusters of the vine and the grapes. That's the last thing that comes in in the harbor. It's after the harvest.
Now if you read carefully in Leviticus, you'll see that the threshing.
Will reach to the Vintage.
Stretching the Ridge to the vent.
During the time of these this month and 1/2.
There will be the continued cleansing.
Everything that's in the land.
Anything that might show itself is contrary to that Kingdom.
And.
They won't all be destroyed because it's the harvest. It's when the things are gathered.
He's got it for what? Whether it be gathered to the threshing floor. And that's the time of the destruction.
00:35:05
Now there are two threshing floors. If you read carefully in Daniel Two, you'll see the threshing floors are mentioned. Not singular, but floral.
The first dressing floor is Jerusalem.
The second one is Edom who is this that comes from Edom with his garments died in blood.
Now Edom is the brother of Jacob.
He's the one that despised the birthright. He has been the perpetual enemy of Israel all these days.
He wouldn't let them into the land across his country.
He took advantage whenever Ezra was in a low state. He not only attacked but caused others to help him to attack God's people.
And in those things that we saw last two evenings ago where Jerusalem was sacked, he destroyed, Edom was there ready to take possession and would have if the Lord hadn't intervened.
But the Lord does not destroy Edom Land, nor does he destroy all these nations. He simply destroys the armies that are attacking and their kings.
It's at that time he's terrible to the kings of the earth, but these nations, these lands are still there.
But now they all gather under that great Assyrian and as they gather for a month and a half coming down.
We were noticing in the 27th chapter of Isaiah that he beats them back to the river.
The Lord will not allow them in the land.
Keeps beating them back.
How we're not told?
Now, at the end of that month and a half, all of the 12 tribes are back.
God has been leaving the land open for his people to come back, and he's been giving his enemies another month and 1/2.
Why? Why did he go around the city of Jericho once more?
Boring, you trumpet.
Why did he wait for another seven days when the ark was finished and was supposed to be closed?
Because God is waiting to be gracious.
So he doesn't destroy these enemies of Israel.
Yet.
There's more than one reason in the 10th chapter of Isaiah says the full work has not been performed in Mount Zion.
Now I would like to go into that, but our time is limited and I'll just say this much.
If you should read the book of Isaiah carefully, and I recommend it because it's the key to prophetic truth. In the Old Testament, he's the Prince of the prophet.
And Isaiah gives you an outline that you'll get nowhere else if that is true.
But if you read in Isaiah, divided as it has been divided.
The 1St 35 chapters gives you.
The physical restoration of Israel in their land by Jehovah himself.
True judgment.
The next few chapters up to the 40th, including the 39th, give you a picture that delivers as it was in the days of Hezekiah.
The 40th chapter begins a new subject and some instead of as a new book, that Isaiah didn't write it at all, someone else wrote. It's so different.
But why is it different?
It's the moral deliverance of Israel, not the physical.
Not only will God bring that people back into the land and protect the minutes from the enemy.
The whole 12 tribes.
But he's going to change their hearts as well.
He's going to change them. So when that moment arrives and the enemy finally attacks for the last time, my people shall be willing in the day of my power.
Those people will just cast themselves upon Jehovah.
And he'll deliver.
Would that we were in that state of soul ourselves, we should be present.
But oh, how little we trust the Lord. Isn't it true?
How little faith there is with it. And yet that people Israel, who doesn't have the calling that you and I have our score, is simply cast themselves entirely on Jehovah and come with me.
What do you suppose will come when they cast themselves on Jehovah?
4 Faithless Creatures We Are.
How little we trust Jehovah.
How little we trust him day by day. And yet we sing about it and talk about it. We read about it.
00:40:03
But really, how much do we trust?
Israel will.
As you're well.
And then that month and 1/2 his people will be drawing closer and closer to himself.
And they'll recite again to themselves those sounds from the hundreds and 4th, possibly through the 107th.
Beginning of creation. And then he's calling his people out, calling David the King and how they had their ups and downs in the wilderness.
They're murmurings their families have recited all again.
How the shoes didn't wear out and how God opened the rock for water for them. And after all these things going through their minds and remembering their ways and seeing how Jehovah was always with them and they were the ones that failed.
They said, well, we're not going to repeat this again, and they just cast themselves upon Jehovah.
Oh, how precious. That's from the 40th salmon, A 40th of Isaiah. And I should say.
Now you'll notice it began in the first part with the setting side of all idols.
That's what you get in the first park, starting from the 40th chapter on.
But the very first expression is what John the Baptist used when he tried to recover the people in his day.
All flesh. Is this bad?
And beloved, that's the first lesson we have to learn. If there's going to be real dependence on Jehovah, all flesh is as bad.
And all it takes is a little stunning. It Withers it away.
Gone.
We learned from that that it's only sovereignty that will do us poor features any good at all.
No creature can exist in the creation of God except in dependence.
Will that we learn this?
In this little pilgrimage we have here.
We read this again, 18 first, and another Angel came out from the altar. Revelation 14.
And have the which have the power of fire and cried with a loud cry to him that have the sharp sickle saying trust in my sharp sickle.
You gather the clusters of the virus. Now the clusters of the vine is all the religious profession on the earth.
It includes.
A.
Of course.
Christendom. But at this time, Christendom has already been judged.
And what's left is that which is had a testimony of God in Israel, the apostates of Israel.
Who never get into the land, I mean the 10 tribe.
You know the Lord brings all of Israel back, all from Christ.
And he brings them to the border and that's released.
Oh, you say? I thought you said he brought him into land. He does. Those who have faith.
But as they come to the board of the land, they make their decision. Read it carefully in the 20th of Ezekiel. You'll see.
He pleads with him in the wilderness.
And only those who have faith enter into the land. The rest are destroyed at the threshing floor of Edom.
Time of this last great battle.
All the apostates of the 10 tribes fall at Edom.
Unless there might be some scattered ones that are up in Jerusalem around that area, but the main part of it will never, never enter that land.
There is a multitude die in the wilderness in the olden days, never entered the land, because only faith enters.
And so to be.
Then lead them up to the same place in the wilderness I take it.
Where Israel fell.
And now he's got to plead with them the second time to lead their children in to land. And all those this time will have faith will enter the land.
And will never be ousted forever.
Because all those who are in the land after this 1290 days are born again. That's the Kingdom.
They're born again, and there will never be any of the 10 drives that will ever enter that land except those that are born again. The rest will die at the border of Israel.
He plays the Minnesota. He says Jerusalem has the your cauldron.
00:45:02
You'll die at the border of Israel.
If you don't enter by faith.
And you remember.
The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation.
It delivered a lot out of Sodom, but he did not put him in the land in the City of Refuge.
He says escape with our life.
And.
Law entered the city of Refuge, as one brother said, by his own steam.
It was his own energy of faith that led him into that land. But what about his wife? She never entered.
Whether she delivered out of Sodom, indeed she was.
She died in the signal judgment.
Outside of the City of Refuge.
Well, these things are solemn.
The angels trust in his circle into the earth and gather the vine of the earth and cast him the great winecrest of the wrath of God.
And the wine press was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even as the horse bridle by the space of 1600 furlongs.
Without the city, that is.
This 600 furlongs is 200 miles down to the land of Palestine, from Jerusalem to Edom.
Is 1.
The tops of the mountains is where the enemy falls. Just one continuous mass carnage in that day.
Thousands upon thousands, Millions upon millions.
That come against the land. Now I will turn to Zechariah.
The 12Th chapter.
We noticed that the 14th and 11Th chapters, at least the beginning of the 14th to the middle of the fifth verse and then the 11Th chapter give us the first point that we notice the other evening.
And the second point is.
The fountain in the 13th chapter.
And also the rain in the 10th chapter mentioned the blessing.
Through the 1St 4 verses.
And then we noticed also the third, the Third Point, which is the 8th and 9th chapters to the eighth verse. We encamped about his house because of the army that has come and will return again he moved, passes by and return it, and no oppressor shall pass through them anymore. Why? Because Jehovah is with his people now. I'm watching over them.
Now we come to the.
12Th chapter, which gives us the fourth point.
If we had these prophecies as they were given originally, they would be separate prophecies without any numbers.
Chapters wouldn't be numbered or verses, and we would have to then look at the prophecies and decide.
Under the eye of God as to how they fit.
And so we have them, I believe, the order that we've mentioned and we've come to the 4th point now, and that is the 12Th chapter, the burden of the word of the Lord for Israel. This is all Israel. Now you see that the Lord who stretches forth to heaven. I say that because first it's Jerusalem, then it's children Benjamin, and then it's all Israel.
You'll notice in this chapter that he says the 10th of June 1St.
The old I'll make Jerusalem a cup of trembling. Now it's Jerusalem because that's where the battle takes place.
And to all the people round about that they shall be in the siege. This is the siege. Now the other was an attack that was successful, but this is just a siege. They don't dare attack.
Afraid to attack. They're gathering their forces for a month and 1/2 This is the Great Confederacy.
When they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem, and in that day when I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people.
All that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
Now this is the people of the whole prophetic earth.
We noticed on another occasion that the prophetic earth.
Is that territory that is included within the boundaries of the four empires mentioned in Daniel 2?
And even to school or will remember the four empires.
00:50:03
Of Daniel, two, that is the Babylonian, the native Persian, the Grecian, and the Romans.
Now, however those empires extended, the perimeter of it is the prophetic earth.
Clearly all those empires.
The reason the judgment fall upon the prophetic earth is because they've had a testimony from God.
And these rulers and their people have known something about the true God.
Either in a religious way.
Or in a political way, they've been rulers.
In fact, really they have known in both ways, because at this time the gods of the Kingdom will have gone out to the whole prophetic earth.
And so they've had a testimony from God and really a part of the vine of the earth.
And we met rather in Revelation.
In that day, said the Lord, I will smite every horse with astonishment, his rider with madness.
Now look mine eyes upon the House of Judah, and I will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the Lord of hosts their God.
The real meaning of that is that the Lord shall be my strength in the time of the attack of Jerusalem.
Really. The thought?
In that day will I make the governors of Judah like in hearth of fire among the wood. The wood is the enemy that's coming in. Judah will be like the fire that Kindles it.
Because now Judah and Jerusalem will be the ones that have the victory.
And like a torch of fire and a sheep and they shall devour all the people round about. This is a total victory for the people of God. This is the last battle that ever occurred before the Millennial Day.
And they shall devour all the people around the bottom of the right hand and on the left. And Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in their own place, even in Jerusalem. The Lord shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the House of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah. There you have Judas, saved first Judah and Benjamin. In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and he that is feeble among them.
At that day shall be as David, and the House of David shall be as God at the end of the Lord before them.
And it shall come to pass in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Now we have the destruction of all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Now the next point.
Controversy.
And I will pour upon the House of David, and from the inhabitants Jerusalem a spirit, the spirit of grace, and a supplication. And they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him as one that mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him as one that is in bitterness for his first born. Can they look upon him, if it isn't disappearing?
Can I see his hands on his feet if it isn't disappearing, please?
This is his appearance.
In that day there shall be a great morning in Jerusalem.
Now these verses we're reading is the time of the greatest day of atonement and corresponds to Psalm 130.
As the morning of hated women in the valley of Mageddon and the land shall mourn every family apart. This is all individual now.
The first house that mourns is the family of the King David.
The whole royal family mourns.
Because they were guilty of the death of Jesus Christ, their Messiah.
Now Nathan was the one that rebuked David for his sin, you know?
But now Nathan has to mourn, too.
The day of the Lord will level every faith.
Not only will the judgment seat have given us to see everything in its true light in heaven.
With the covering of everything will be removed on the earth and everything will be seen in this true life. There'll be nothing hidden.
00:55:06
Today, the secret actions of the enemy and designed to deceive the people are not seen.
And millions are going on into eternity loss because they do not see what's going on.
I won't be thrown out there.
Everything will be open. Nathan himself.
Will have to bow in their attention before God because of his sins, because the word of God says all has been that comes short of glory of God. This is the day of manifestation. Everything will be seen in true life. It has already been seen in heaven at the judgment seat of Christ. For the church this is on the earth.
And when it says the new heavens and the new earth is moral.
The changing of the heavens and the administration in heaven is the changing of the heavens and now the change of the earth.
This is the day of regeneration of all things, the beginning of it.
And Milan shamor?
And so on. We read that in the family of the House of Levi. That's the priesthood.
They're guilty too.
They defile the sanctuary.
The family of Shemiyah apart and their wives apart.
Some have thought of a simian.
Simeon Levi and margins of Simeon, I don't know. Simeon Levi were the sons of cruelty.
Everything's out now. There's nothing hidden. Whatever it may be, whatever this may mean, we won't go into it.
But now skip over to the middle of the fifth verse that we left in the first reading and we'll get the continuation of the story.
After it says the King of Judah, That's the ending of that first part we know the other day now, and the Lord my God shall come, and all the Saints with thee.
Now this is the time up. It's really just before they weep every family apart, but it's as close as we can tie them together.
It's when the Lord Jesus comes and every eye shall see him. He's the only man that every eye shall see.
The fifth verse of the 14th chapter, and it says, And the Lord my God shall come, and all the faith with thee at the end of the verse.
We noted the other night that the verse should be divided after Judah and a new subject began.
And the Lord my God shall come in all the Saints with me.
Now that is appearing, which is manifestation. It's the time when he's going to publicly show to the world that we belong to him.
Now he did come before you know, and destroyed the beast and the false prophet.
But it wasn't the full public manifestation of his coming.
But here it's a full public manifestation.
And every eye will see him. Not just some people, not just his enemy, but every I will see.
And all faith with faith.
The Old Testament Saints, the Church, the martyrs.
John the Baptist.
So I'll be there.
What a glorious day.
And this ushers in the Kingdom.
That is, it found the Kingdom which has been established at the 1290 days.
Now this is passing on beyond the 1335 days here.
And it was spoken of in Daniel as the end of the days of the last verse in the cross of Daniel.
For Daniel enters into his law at the end of the day.
That the seat of Tabernacles? That's the Millennial day. It's the day when.
There'll be the change in the bent and habit of all creatures.
The lion and the lamb will lie down together.
The line leads straw like the ox.
They shall not hurt. They're destroying all my holy mouths.
The store will overtake the reef or the crops to be so great.
01:00:01
And.
He's going to make the desert blossom like the road.
But a marvelous day that will be. We have it all here, but remember is from the time of the tribulation we've been Speaking of in the time of the 1260 days. First the 1290 which brings him the end of the age, and then now the time when he comes out of heaven, divine wrath against all his enemies. Everyone cut off, crushed.
And those that are left are those that have vowed to mean to him. He sets up his Kingdom and righteousness and peace and exercise.
And the earth would be filled with his prey.
And then the gospel of the Kingdom goes out to all people everywhere so they can hear that glad story.
Of the king who reigns in righteousness, marriage will be saved and that Kingdom day.
I'm glad.
But remember, all will be spared first to bow the knee.
Later on they get the opportunity to gospel the Kingdom, but all who by the knee are spared.
Shall We Sing that Little Hymn 196?
Come out of sing the matchless words and sweetly sound the glory sport which in the Savior shines.
Come, let the day.
And.
We may.
