Revelation Divisions

Okay, Revelation, we're not going to teach these books. I'm just going to teach the divisions and the book so that it makes it easy for you to understand. Someday you guys will be teaching it.

Okay, Revelation, we're not going to teach these books. I'm just going to teach the divisions and the book so that it makes it easy for you to understand. Someday you guys will be teaching it. You're going to want to teach it your way, just like I would. And if there's something that you don't agree with that you've been taught, you have a perfect right to teach it your own way. But I'm going to just show you the basic divisions. The key verse in Revelation is chapter 1 verse 8. Take a look at that verse briefly if you will, or verse 19, or other, when will I say verse 8? Verse 19, Jesus Christ told the Apostle John, right, the things which thou hast seen the past, the things which are, the present, that's this church page, from the cross to the rapture. the things which shall be here after. These are the three, that's how Revelation is divided into three parts, past, present, and future. The past is chapter one. The present is chapter two and three, the church age, and the future is chapter four and five, beginning in chapter four with the rapture of the church, and chapters four and five are a picture of the church in heaven just before the tribulation period begins. And that's what these three chapters represent. And then chapter six is the beginning of the seven-year tribulation. There's one thing we want to look at before we get into anything else, and that's verse six of chapter six. I've read a couple of books and a couple of articles by Bible teachers. And they say that chapter six, verse six, represents the rich. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four least. Let me preach you say a measure in wheat for a penny, a denarius penny, and three measures of a barley for a penny. And see that I heard not the oil and the wine. And I've been told that the oil and the wine represents the rich. I don't agree with that. You can come to an conclusion you want. But I don't know if we're going to turn there or not, that if you went to Numbers 18, Chapter 18, verses 8 through 15, we're not going to go there. But you'll see that the oil in the wine represents Israel. And the reason, Lord, said, hurt not the oil in the wine because this verse represents those who are saved out of the seven-year tribulation to go into the kingdom. They are the oil and the wine. reason I don't believe it's the rich because if you look in the verse 15 of the same chapter, you'll see the rich, the big, small, and everybody else hiking from the Lord. So I don't believe it represents the rich at all. But if you get the opportunity, take an opportunity, read numbers, chapter 18, verses 8 through 15, and I believe you'll agree with me that it represents those who are saved out of the seven-year tribulation, particularly the nation of Israel. Okay. Revelation is a series of parentheses. You know what a parentheses is? I take it. You should. I want over this. Some rules back. Maybe you don't. Yeah. I'll give you the definition according to Oxford dictionary. I wrote it down. It's an explanatory or qualifying word clause sentence inserted into a passage with which it has not necessarily any grammatical connection and usually marked off by a square round brackets, dashes, commas, or so forth. So it's an explanatory or qualifying word, clause or sentence, inserted into a passage with which it has not necessarily any grammatical connection. And that is the reason people get revelation all filed up. They don't understand the parentheses. It's a qualifying or clause inserted and it doesn't seem to have any grammatical connection. If you read through Revelation, I remember many times, well, when I was a Catholic, I didn't expect anything about the Bible, but they used to claim that you could not understand Revelation. It would drive you nuts, and you'd go to the nut house, literally. That's what they taught. So they didn't teach you Revelation, basically, because they didn't understand it. But there are a series of parentheses in the book of Revelation that don't seem to have any grammatical connection, grammatical means grammar, by the way. It doesn't seem to have any connection, but it's a qualifying sentence or clause, and it's an explanatory. So there's a lot of explanation in each and every parenthesis. In Chapter 6, Verse 1-17 is a picture of the first half of the three and one-half years of the seven-year tribulation, the first half, the first six seals are open. Revelation has made up of seven seals. The first six are open during the first half of the seven-year tribulation. And then in chapter seven, we have a parenthesis, a qualifying, let me give you an example of what a parenthesis is. A parenthesis would be something like this. John and Mary are happy living in the city, and then the parentheses would be who at one time lived in the country away from the crowd. So that would be a parentheses. It's an explanatory. It tells you where they used to live. And that's what the revelation does. It's an explanatory, a parentheses is an explanatory or qualifying sentence. So Chapter 7 is a parenthesis, that's the first one. If you have a scope field bottle, he has a quite a bit of marked out for it. Chapter 7 is a parenthesis. During the first half of the seven years, there's going to be a multitude of 144,000 out of Israel that are going to be saved by the two witnesses in Revelation Chapter 11. They're going to come out of the first half of the seven year tribulation. By the way, this is what I called the oil and the wine mentioned in verse 6. And look if you will in verse 3, chapter 7, saying, not the earth, neither the sea nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed, and they were sealed 144,000 of all the tribes of the children of Israel. So these are the 144,000 that have saved out of the first half of the seven-year tribulation led to the Lord by the two witnesses in Revelation chapter 11. And chapter 7 is a correct deceit in the book of Revelation. And then in chapter 8 verse 1, turn over there if you will. In chapter 8 verse 1, the beginning of the second half of the seven-year tribulation with the seventh seal, when it is open. The 7th seal is open and the beginning of the second half of the 7-year tribulation begins. This is not a parenthesis. And chapter 8 and chapter 9 deal with the 7th seals, which is made up of 7 trumpets. And then in chapter 8 and chapter 9, the first 6 trumpets are open during the last half of the three and a half years. You found me so far. everybody follow me so far? Okay, you got me? Okay, all right, chapter 10 is also a parenthesis and if you have a scope field Bible, he has most of this mark for you pretty well. This is the announcement of the mighty angel and no further than delay, it's a parenthesis. Remember the first six, the seventh seal is open, made up of seven trumpets, the first six trumpets sound in revelation, chapter 8 and 9. Chapter 10 verse 1 through Chapter 11 verse 14 is another parentheses. During this parentheses we have in Chapter 11 the times of the Gentiles, God goes back and tells us what is going to remember when the tribulation is going on there's going to be one hectic busy time. There's going to be a Millions of things going on at one time, the antichrist is going to be running the world, he's going to be, and he's working on it today, but as a matter of fact, he's getting pretty close. I was reading the other day, there's a couple in Florida that took the chip in their, in the back of their hand. They're testing it, and that's probably what the mark of the beast will be. It'll be a chip in your forehead or your, a little computer chip where they just stand there. That way you won't be able to buy or sell anything. I think that's what the market of the beast is going to be. I don't think you'll see anybody walk around with number 666 all over them. I don't think that'll be it at all. But anyway, that's what I think the market of the beast is going to be a computer chip. So chapter 10, verse 1 through chapter 11, verse 14 is another parentheses. And the reason we know the parentheses is over looking, verse 15 of chapter 11, if you will. The Seventh Angel is about Rager's son, his truck in verse 15. Seventh Angel sounded, there were great voices in heaven saying, the kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord and his Christ, and he shall reign forever. But I didn't even interrupt you guys if you had, you know. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Oh, no, I… Okay. For sure, what strategy said in numbers for that? Yeah, okay. I didn't mean to interrupt you there, too. Okay. I'm sorry. Okay, because it didn't bother me, you know. If you had something to discuss, that's fine. The kingdom of heaven has become the kingdom of our Lord and His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever. So we have just about ready to open up the seventh trumpet. We have a picture of that in chapter 11, verse 15 through 19. And then chapter 12 is another parentheses in the book of Revelation. Remember what parentheses is. It's an explanatory word or sentence inserted into a passage, but it's an explanatory thing. But it doesn't seem to fit. And that's exactly what these parentheses are in Revelation. They don't seem to fit. But if you read them and understand them, they fit perfectly, especially Chapter 12. And I think we're going to take a minute to Google that because I think it's very important to understand chapter 12, this particular parentheses, remember this parentheses goes all the way from chapter 12 through chapter 13 and chapter 14. These are all parenthetic inserts in the book of Revelation. You see these are all pictures of things that God has planned throughout the seven-year tribulation and it goes back and he shows them to you. But Revelation chapter 12 is very important. It's a historical account of Satan. And his conflict with the nation of Israel and Jesus Christ. I've prepared a book of it on this sometime back. I'm going to have to print some more of those up. I know a lot of people I've got to send them to. But I got a church in Minnesota that wants to take some Bible courses, and I guess there's a group of people there that want to get some kind of a certificate in a Bible, and they contact me to do that, and I don't really know if I want to do it. But I haven't decided yet. I advise them to go to Scofield or go to a movie Bible Institute and take Scofield, of course. That's what I advise them because that's in my opinion that's the best way to begin, but I might just do it, I haven't cited yet, but in order to understand Revelation, and even the Bible, it's important to understand chapter 12 of Revelation because it's easy to see that there's a conflict between Satan and Israel and we went over this many, many times, So let's go over briefly so that you'll understand that I don't want to take a lot of time on them, but I think I need to do this briefly. In chapter 12, verses 1 and 2, we have a picture of the 12 stars, which are the 12 tribes of Israel. The woman naturally goes Israel. And she being with child is Jesus Christ. Remember Genesis chapter 3 verse 15, the Christ child. she's trailing in birth and pain to be delivered. The constant pain for Christ to be delivered was constant pain. As a matter of fact, even though he was born some two thousand years ago, he still pains an awful lot of people. There appeared another one here in heaven. The older great red dragon, having seven heads, ten horns, seven crowns, and so forth. We've explained that not too long ago. And his tail through a third part of the stars of heaven That's the fallen angels who are now called demons. And in verse 4, continue, and the dragon stood before the woman, Israel, who was ready to be delivered with Christ, to give out her child as soon as it was born. And he definitely tried. Didn't he? He tried. He really did. And so he stood by her child, verse 5, and she brought forth a male child, Christ, who was a real all-nation for the rod of iron, and her child was caught up into God into his throne. takes 33 years to culminate the birth life and death of Christ. And then at the end of verse five he's caught up to his throne. And then between verse five and verse six is the church eight. We're living in that right now between verse five and verse six and the woman fled into the wilderness when did she do that during the seven-year tribulation? Or if she had the place prepared by God that they should be to their 1,203-4 years. And there was war in heaven and Michael's angels fought against the dragon and so forth, prevailed not. And the dragon was cast out, called the devil and Satan, who deceived the whole earth. And in verse 10, and I heard a loud voice saying in heaven now has come salvation and strength in the kingdom of our God. And the power of his Christ, for the accused of our brethren is cast down to accuse him before our God day and night. Constantly up there accusing you and I of something or other of course he's usually right Before God and of course God's always up there depending on But Satan is constantly there, but in this portion of the Bible here Satan is literally cast out of the heavens Down to the earth where he and dwells the anti-Christ and when he does that he becomes Weak Because he can't move around like he does today he could be in this room the day you and I have never known it. He's you, the hangar, I'll make quite a bit anyway, but I usually do know it. But when that happens he will enjoy the body of a man, he won't be able to move about the way he does, he'll be contained to that body, and that's exactly what he wanted, and he got it, and when he got it he's not going to like it, he really won't. And they overcame him by the blood of the land, were the testimony and so forth. Therefore rejoice ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them, In other words, Satan is not in the heavens anymore, he's cast down to the earth, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, and obviously, while the devil has come down on you having great wrath because he knows that he has a short time. So he's only got three and a half years. And then in verse 13 through 17 he continues to try to harass Israel, but most verse 17, if you will. In verse 17, the dragon was wrought with the woman Israel and went to make war with the remnant of her seed who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Christ. So we see here in verse 17 that those are those Jews are saved by having the testimony of Christ that genuinely be saved and these are the ones that are mentioned in chapter 6 verse 6. They are the oil and the wine and they are the ones mentioned in the revelation chapter Chapter 7, not only a little, Chapter 7, but Chapter 14, and the 144,000 has now become a multitude, because they are witnessing for Christ during a seven year calculation. And then Chapter 11, verse 14, is a parenthesis, and then Chapter 12, 13, and 14 is a parenthesis. And then once again, the Bible takes up, takes up where it lets off in Chapter 15, verse one. Let's see here if we'll go over here. Chapter 15, verse 1, then begins back the revelation, back to the vials, back to the seven vials judgment, which makes up the seventh trumpet, the seventh trumpet. Am I going too fast here? I'm trying to cover this whole thing. So if you were to read any of Revelation, let me give you a brief test if I may. If I was to read Revelation chapter 11, let's see here, go over here if you will, chapter 11, verse 1, would I be reading a parenthesis or not? Yes, I would. I'd be reading a parenthesis. This is a parenthesis. What is the parenthesis doing? Well, it's an explanatory verse, right? What is he explaining? He's explaining that the temple will be built during the first three and a half years, and then in the middle of the three and a half years, in verse two, the Anacryce will sit on the temple and built red, the Holy City, Jerusalem, underfoot. This takes place during the seven-year tribulation, but it's a parenthetic view of all of that. And then the Bible takes up here, back up to chapter 15, if you will. Verse 1. And I saw another sign in heaven, Great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them is filled up the wrath of God. Now we're getting to the very last trumpet, the seventh trumpet. And out of the seventh trumpet are the seven bile judgment, which are the seven last plagues. For in them is filled up the wrath of God. In other words, we're getting towards the end of the seven-year tribulation. We're getting towards the seventh trumpet, because it made up of seven vials or bowls. And therefore, the wrath of God who loves forever and ever in verse seven and so forth. So we're back into the book of Revelation again and all the many things that you're taking place in the book of Revelation, you see. The only two people I ever heard that mentioned the parentheses and well, one of them is Scofield. I think he gets a 100%, but it's pretty darn accurate. The other one is Dr. M. R. D. Han, and that Max Chance did, too, but I don't believe I've heard him teach on it. I don't think he made it a big issue out of it, like I do, but I think it's very important to know the divisions of the Book of Revelation. And then we go on down chapter 16, verses 13 to 16 is another brief parentheses over there if you will. Now we've already went through the six vials, which are made up of the seventh trumpet. Now remember, Capricate verse 1, there are seven trumpets, six of them are sounded, the seventh one sounds, and out of that seventh trumpet are six vial judgments, which make up the very last part of the three and a half years. And verses 13 through 16 is another parenthesis showing the coming battle called Armageddon. Like I told you many times, I don't believe it'll be a literal battle like some people say. There's something else I was going to point out here, but I don't think I'll take time to do that. Yeah, man. Look in verse 13. Do you ever look around the world today, see all the things that are going on, crazy things, Children shooting people in schools and just all kinds of crazy stuff. And I think a lot of it is demonology. I think demonology is rampant. I think demonology, you can see it manifests in our news media. Trying to promote the anti-Christ spirit in the world today. And if you promote an ideology of righteousness and morality, you're condemned, ridiculed, and criticized. And that's the reason I feel like Jonah. You know, give it to them Lord. And if you have a moral righteous attitude, the news media condemns and criticizes you to treat you like an idiot, like to do some of our politicians that even mention Christ or mention God. And so that we're living in a demonic society. It's called the anti-Christ spirit, and I think it's getting worse and worse as time goes on. And you know, I figured out why a lot of these school shootings are taking place. I wonder about that for a long time. Now I think that finally come to a conclusion. I think a lot of it is demonology, but I think the demons are not only at work, but I think a lot of it is some of the medication are giving our children. Ritalin, Prozek, and some of the other stuff that, you know, a mother has a child, or they send a child to school, and if he's a little active, they say he's got a problem. So they're giving Pro-Zec or Ridlin. And I got to tell you, I don't go along with it. I just don't go along with it. It's a drug. I say let the boys be the boys. Let the girls be the boys. Give them a recess. Let them get it out of their system. Because a child is just a child and they're active. At least you've got a little one. He knows. Events has got a child. He knows. Dollies have three boys. He knows a boy is a boy. You've got to let a boy be a boy. get that out of their system. There's an active child. Well, you're not going to give that child real low, are you? Or project? Huh? Yeah. I mean, they're, they're, I'm 65 years old and I can't sit still. I'm not on really under anything like that. I'm on drugs, not kids. But I think that's part of the problem. And then they'll send them to a secular counselor that tells them they hate mom and dad and they believe the counselor and before long they're nuts and they start shooting people but I think that's one of our biggest problems today. If we took our children and taught them about Jesus Christ, I think that would solve most of the problems when they're young, wouldn't solve them all but to solve a lot of them. Anyway, in verses 13 through 16, we have a picture of the coming battle of Armageddon and it's almost all demonology. The world because of demonology and hates Christ and look in verse 13 if we will here chapter 16. This is parenthetic just 13, 14, 15, 16, 4 verses and I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. Well they are the spirits of devils working miracles. You gotta remember something but the beast of the false prophet are men. They're just men and they do the miracles they do which are really false miracles. I don't believe they perform miracles. Do you? I don't believe they can perform literal miracles. Miracles come from God, but I got one verse to prove that. I never played anything of that. So just now turn over to the second testimony. You will come right back magic. It's an illusion. I think the Bible says so. So, I don't think Satan, he and dwells a man, he does not have the power that he has today. Looking second testimony is chapter 2, verse 9, even him who is coming is after the working of Satan with all powers and sons and lying wonders. It's a lie, it's a lying wonder, he doesn't have all this magic, he doesn't have all his power. Revelation chapter 13, he seems to come back to life again. I got news for you. I don't think he died in the first place. I think it's a lying wonder You know any all the false prophets today say that Jesus Christ didn't really die on the cross That's what Muhammad said. That's what the Jehovah Witnesses say That's what some of the Mormons say a lot of them believe that he never really died on the cross and Then when the Antichrist comes along, they'll believe him they'll follow him and he won't really die at all He'll come back to life and I think it's just a lying wonder and the world's going to believe a lot And so I don't believe you have but I do believe that they are demon possessed But I don't think a demon has the has the ability to bring people back to life. I just don't believe they do that First 14 for they are the spirits of devils working miracles They go forth unto the kings of the earth and the whole world together them to the battle of that great day of God almighty Behold, I come as a thief, glass of the sea that watches and keep as garments lets you walk naked, and they see his shame. And you gather them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue, Armageddon. I was about ready to start walking naked. I had to go out and buy some new pants today because I got a little belly on there. My pants won't fit anymore. But anyway, then back in verse 17, we begin, the parentheses is over. You follow me so far. I want you to get these parentheses because some of these days you guys are going to be teaching the Bible. And you need to know where these parentheses are and you need to know how to straighten it out. You need to know how to understand it. So you're able to teach it. And then verse 17, notice if you will, the seventh angel poured out his file. Now we're back into the story again, back into the program, back into the process. We're back into the Book of Revelation and then chapters 17 and 18 are both parenthesis in the Book of Revelation. They're both parenthesis and they both deal with Babylon, all through religion. Let me ask you a question. What's wrong with this subject? How do you know Babylon isn't the place over there in the Middle East? how can you prove what Babylon is or is not? That's another thing you're going to be able to need to do when you teach the book of Revelation. And if you don't, you're going to fall in prey of these people who say Babylon is, I don't know, some say New York City, some say Babylon is the United States of America, some say it's a great Britain side. There's all kinds of things concerning Babylon, But the ideology, I believe it is absolutely, but what would you say to someone? I got one verse here that I used on one person in particular that tried to say that the United States of America was the Babylon of Revelation trying to say it was a place. I got one verse that I used on this person and he didn't know what to say. You know who the person is, but I'm not going to tell you. And this is what I said to him, the verse 4 of chapter 18, talking about Babylon and verse 4. And I heard another voice from heaven saying, come out of her, my people, that you've been on protectors of her sins and that you've received not of her plague. And what I said to him, I said, I'll help you pack your bags if you want to leave, because the Bible says come out of her, my people. If you really think that the United States of America is Babylon, then you need to move. Because that's what the Bible says, doesn't it? I'm out of here with my people. If you really want to be a spiritual nut, I can play the same game. I can use the Bible to make it mean anything I want to. You better move, buddy. You better pack your bags and move because that's what the Bible says. So Babylon is ideology of men trying to work his way to heaven against God. that simple. But what I get to kick out of is all these false religions that are against Christ are going to follow Satan during a seven-year tribulation, and when he sits on the throne there will not be one religion left in the world, not one. He will destroy the Catholic church, and the Baptist church, the false Baptist, the Methodist, the Lutheran, every false religion on the face of the earth, he will destroy and they will have to worship him. There will be no other choice. And when God destroys Babylon, I believe he destroys her right in the middle of the seven-year tribulation, she's wiped out. battle on left is Satan worship. That'll be all there is nothing else. And if you read the whole context here chapter 17 and 18, two whole chapters are devoted to God destroying false religion. And I hate false religion. That's anything I can think of in this world. I hate false religion. I'm not too crazy about a hypocrite. I'm not too wild about that either. But false religion, I guess they go hand in hand anyway. And then I want you to go to chapter 19, if you will. Verse 1. Notice these first words in this verse. And after these things, through these things, very important. God said, after these things, after all these things have taken place, then I heard a great voice in heaven, in I heard a great voice of a multitude, many people in heaven saying, Hallelujah, salvation and glory and honor and power unto the God, unto the Lord our God, for true and righteous are his judgment for it, judged the great whore, false religion, who did corrupt the earth with her formication, and had the bench to blood of his servants at her hand. And again, he said, Hallelujah for her smoke rose up forever and ever, and ever. In verse six, and I heard, is it more of the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters. I like the voice of many thunder claps saying, I'll allow you for the Lord God, nephotent, arena. After these things, after everybody else has taken place, we are finally at the end of the 7-year tribulation and everything is going to be judged. And then we have in verse 7-8 the bride and the supper of the bride, the bridegroom, rather. And so I don't I don't think there's any need to cover any more than that because the rest of it deals with the last, the very final stages of the seven-year tribulation. You get all those parentheses, I hope. You get them wrote down. Very important that you do that. For parentheses, you know what you can do when you find the time is do a study on Babylon and draw your own conclusions. And I think that would be a wise thing for you to do. I remember as a Bible student, it's not that I didn't agree with someone, but I always did my own study on no matter what the subject happened to be, because I didn't want to take anybody's word for anything. Do I have any questions on any of that? I can go over again, but I want you to get that. I want you to know what the parentheses are and why they're there, why they're there. All they do is just add a little bit more to what is taking place in the book of Revelation. Okay. You're talking about the Triads of Israel, that have their swallowing. Yeah. What can I ask for their team of chemicals to be found? No. Uh-huh. No. Well, let's go back here in Genesis and we'll count them. Okay. Let me write it down before I forget the other one, okay? Okay, okay, go ahead. How does the Jews know what track they're from? They don't. Yeah, they don't. I believe they lied to you because I don't think that you know today because all the records of, all the Jewish records of their genealogy were destroyed in 70 AD by Titus and the Roman government. And I don't believe that you has had any, The only thing they have is, traditionally, but I don't think they have any proof. What tribe they belong to, I don't believe they really know. But I thought that they need it so they are. Oh, no, I don't believe so. No. I think the evidence they needed was handed down through generation, through generation, through generation. But if you remember, when Christ, his mother, and Mary and Joseph had to go to be registered, Well, that's how the Jews were registered. It's just like you and I. We get registered so we can be taxed. We have a social security number. And if they wanted to follow who your genealogy you could do that. But I don't think the Jews today, I don't think 90% of them know have any idea what tried big long to anymore. A lot of the documentation names and what your own. Well, there's no record of that in the Bible. No. The only thing that they had in the ark was nose-robed, about it, the tables, the thing, the mammoths, and I just slipped my mind with the other one was the mammoth. Yeah, those three things. That's the only thing recorded in the Bible of what was in New York. And I don't believe there was anything else in there. You think there's no way to buy it since Aaron's rod, or if you've got an ill-spot, this doesn't make any difference. Aaron's rod is about it, yeah. But it was rosed with this rod before. Yeah, yeah. But there's a reason why it was Aaron's rod, because Aaron was a type of the priest to come, Jesus Christ, and the rather buttoned represents a resurrection. That's what that represents. In here he was a little bit of a Jew. Right. But today, you know, when Israel makes what they call a priest, they're really not a priest anymore, but a spiritual leader, But they don't go back to the Levitical priesthood of Aaron because I don't honestly don't believe they have any idea which tribe they come from. They will when Christ sets up his kingdom again, he'll reveal it to him. Even if they thought they were of the tribe of Benjamin, I don't believe they can prove it. I don't think they can because the records are all destroyed. But it's all traditional, you know. I belong to this tribe, my family belong to this tribe. I don't think honestly they can prove it. Well, however, if you want to marry a medical Jew, you want to marry a child from the bench you were trying to say, if they're considered low-class, you're not going to. They're not going to. I'm not going to get myself out on a medical Jew too. Yeah, but you can call yourself anything you want to. Yeah, the only thing they know for sure is that they're Jewish. They do know that. But I just don't believe that that's I've always felt that's from not that the Bible doesn't say anything about it, but historically if you go back I mean there's just no record of it. Well they know they're a Jew because they were born into a Jewish family, but you just know there's a Jew. As a matter of fact, I'll say something else. When I meet a Jew, I know it. Almost without exception. I don't know why. I have no idea why. But I can almost, if I needed you, I can almost always know it. I think they did, they married 10,000, and did you heard of the Samaritans, right? Well, Samaritans were sort of half greets in John chapter 4, Christ met the Samaritans, they were outcast, but they called Abraham their father, remember that, the lady at the wealth. And he was, because they were half half in half, they were half greets. Well, we call black and white. I don't look at it that way personally. A person is just a person. But there was so much of that that that's another reason why they don't know which tribe they belong to. But I don't I just don't believe they do. I don't think they can prove it. Well, I have to tell me. How would he know what he said? That's what I said tradition. Yeah, I was he knows it's a good I was he knows I was he knows right You know it my mother's father Yeah, yeah, right, but you know if you were if you were born to you you would know it Yeah I'm not a few, but I can do, I remember a lot of times I used to go into some of the stores in the mall and some of them like Diamond Men's Store, a lot of them were Jews that worked in there. Most of Jews, I think Jews owned it and I talked to them, as soon as I talked to them, or they get their feathers up, you know, if you find out they're Jew and I remember I ask them, they're Jewish, aren't you? And as you ask them, they get their dander up. They're on the defensive. And I think it's kind of comical, but I didn't do it. Oh, I do too. But that's how I feel, but I think most, I think a lot of Bible teachers have the same opinion about it. But if you already do it around May 28th and 29th, the Lord gives the impression there that they won't know what tribe they come from. When he talks about the dispersion and do it around May 28th, 29th, then he goes on chapter 30. And the Lord gives the impression right there that they won't know their Jewish, but they won't know which tribe. Yeah, I don't know, but I don't think so. I don't think so. I think they recorded their learning through both. That's what was mine. Oh, yeah. Do is read, Luke and Matthew. One is one is the lineage from the mother and the others from the father. So I think they record their lineage through both. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. That's that's that way today, isn't it? Yeah, anybody can be dead, but yeah. Yeah, we also, it doesn't matter, but that's my, that's my feeling. When the records were destroyed in 70 AD, I don't think they have any idea now. Even if they have an idea that's passed now traditionally, they can't prove but that's my field. What's that? Oh, nothing early, Jews of Jews. The Jews of Jews. The only problem they have is when they enter married with people to work Jews. Read me me him I will very like chapter me him I mean he may get the more you know of course there's a reason for that too there's nothing wrong with the woman now if you go back and follow genealogy and genesis you'll find out that Isaac Jacob Joseph they all married Gentiles and brought him home so that you the Jewish in the nation of Israel began with Gentiles it's not that God's against Gentiles but God was trying to set a group of people and look at Ray Hat, the harlot, Mary to Jew, right, in the line of Christ. So it's irrelevant whether Jew, Gentile, whatever, the whole thing is a railroad. The only thing that matters in the long run is faith in Christ. You know, that's the only thing that really matters. But I was looking for the list of the 12 tribes here. In the other time I'd know it all know it off hand. Genesis chapter 28 through chapter 31 and we have a list of all the children of Jacob who became Isaac. Now go over here to chapter 35. I think we have a list of all the 12 chapter 35, probably beginning in verse 19, verse 18 probably, verse 18 is the chapter 35, we'll listen to the 12 tribes of Israel. Now, we'll listen to take a whole time. Verse 23, chapter 8, that chapter 35, the sons of Leah, Ruben, and then Jacob's firstborn, Simeon, for Simon. Levi, that's where the, that's where the, yeah, the priestess came from. Levi, that's three, Judah, that's four, Isaac, five, Zebuland, six, sons of Rachel. Joseph, that's seven, Benjamin, eight, and then you have the sons of Billah, Rachel's then Nephtali, that's 10, and then the sons of Zilpa, Zilpa, Lea's Handmade, Gad and Asher. That's a list of the 12 tribes of Israel. Well, actually you don't have to have any. God made a provision. You don't have to have any. You can become a Jew biblically by going through the process in their three places list one is Leviticus, the other one is Numbers, and also in Deuteronomy, but there's a provision that God made that anyone could become a Jew. As a matter of fact, Ruth did read the book of Jew. She became a Jew. She had to go through the process. So anyone could become a Jew. As a matter of fact, the nation of Israel right now today is moving thousands and thousands of black people from Africa to Israel because they claim that their mothers were Jewish. All they have to do is make the claim. They don't even have to prove it. And Israel is literally moving them to Israel and accepts them as 100% Jews. That's one way out. If you want to be a Jew, all you have to do is claim to be a Jew, you don't even have to go prove it. Yeah, just look like a Jew, wear one in little hats, always wonder how they kept them things on. Especially in a high wind. I don't know, but these are the literal 12 tribes, but I honestly don't think that today I could be wrong. I just don't think today that you can prove which tribe they came from. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Oh, yeah, you're right. I mean, that's part of the Jewish nature, but they're not all that way. Back in early New York City, a lot of Jews came out of this country. Even in the early 1900s, there were a lot of extremely poor Jews. A lot of people. What's that? The Christian looked to have the… Yeah, but they're looking for blessing for different reasons. The Christian was looking for blessing through Jesus Christ. The Jew was looking for his blessing through a bay in the wall. the basic difference. I don't know. I'll tell you what, if you want to bid you, if you think you're going to get money from that, it won't work. It won't work. You have to do what this guy did, marry a rich person, if you want to see the money. But Dean and you won't make it rich. I know they're frugal. That's the word I use because it sounds better. I did it when I was young. I painted the house for you. I worked for a sign company and he was a, he was a, did the sheet metal work or something. They know how to make money. I mean, you know. He had a nice big house and I was a stupid kid and I painted it for practically nothing, you know, but he treated me great, nice guy, but he was Jewish and even at that time I know he was Jewish. I wasn't even a safe Christian. I don't know how, but I know he was Jewish and we talked about a little bit. He was really a nice guy, but they didn't know how to save money, but that's my feeling towards that. You know what, I noticed that another thing over the years concerning the Jews, anyone was totally lost. It was a demon possessed spirit hates a Jew and doesn't even know why. They hate him. They hate the Jew. And of course that's satanic. That's the reason for it. But they don't know it. I remember years ago a man that I'm not going to tell you who he was. But he was from next to Germany somewhere while those countries over there. And he didn't know how to make money. He has plenty of money, but the Jews have all the money, according to him. Oh, it's good for not the Jews, they have all the money. And they control the money. And he just had them for every reason that you could think of. And he had everything. I mean, he had plenty of money, money in the bank, stocks, but he hated it isn't it, it's funny isn't it. But how many reasons a person will find that hated you. I don't know how to hate. I do know some of the Rothschilds I've ever did understand. That family, wealthy bankers, they gave Hitler an idea. of way to get him started and then after they realized what a mistake they made they had to turn around and get a few billion to the Russians to stop Hitler and these people going around the great big circle simply because they had so much money, they wanted to control the world and the Lord will deal with that bunch, I feel sorry for them, but that's, you know, wealthy makers and I think that's probably one of the reasons Hitler hated them so much. As soon as the Russians they hated Jews too because they had most control and most of money, and they wanted it, and that's the reason they hated it. Did they get a lot of money to trust the winner, right? Yeah. Well, you know, Hitler went to a lot of measures to get their money, you know? He went to extreme measure. He even pulled out the gold out of their teeth when he took them into the concentration camps and murder them. He stole everything out of their homes. They had fabulous paintings worth a lot of money. you know, artwork, he took everything that Jews had and just ordered it, put it in anything to destroy the Jews, especially their money. He hated everything about them. But, you know, what? They're in the kingdom. They're going to get it all back. But that's a good idea, though, I think. By a rich woman. Yes, sir, I believe they were. I do. I believe they were. Well, these Jewish bankers about that I knew that yeah, but it was a dollar Good discussion anything else We'll bring up they have those are the 12 tribes of Israel not 13. I don't know where that came from And it's ironic to that they were 12 tribes of Israel too You could just be a little bit at the same time. You could have saved. That's right. It's the copy. You got it. That's what that's all about. That's the anti-christ copy. Yeah. Okay. Let's have work very well close. Dear Lord, we thank you for your word. It's interesting, exciting, and thrilling. And as you all know it, I actually just understand your word, and understand the things that are going on in the world are really not much to worry about. You're in control, but to be able to understand why the world is the way it is, it's just, it sure makes life easy. And we just thank you for it. And we thank you for those of you here this evening. Use your word to just use your word in them in Christ's name. Amen. Okay, okay. Thank you. You catch my car there, coming home in the last life of the day. No, it isn't.
