Truly a family affair. I am currently reading the Book of Lamentations. Throughout it we find the Judgment & Forgiveness theme as well. The Father's plan is perfect!
The way I understand it is that ALL believers are the bride (jew and gentile), but we all don't become the bride until Israel is redeemed. It kind of reminds me about the scripture that says those that are last will be first and the first will be last. Israel has the first covenant but will be the last to have their eyes opened to be redeemed.
Then who are the virgin attendants to the bride? Who are the wedding guests? Not all will have the same level of intimacy with and access to the Bridegroom! There is a judgment of rewards among believers (Jew and gentile), so let's not assume that becoming His bride is transactional when we come to redemption. HOW we build on the foundation of Yeshua/Jesus matters - wood, hay, and stubble? Or gold, silver, and precious stones?
@@rocdajacable Yet even among the seed of Abraham there were different tribes and clans within each tribe! Not all had the same honor. We are Abraham's seed by faith, but will be like Saul or like David? Will we be an Abihu or an Eleazar among the sons of Aaron? Will we bring forth a righteous crop of 30? Or 60? Or 100 fold? Will we be overcomers? So let's live out our gratitude for His redemption and live to please Him rather than ourselves so we can have the best reward possible when the righteous are called to receive their reward. And let's help our brothers and sisters to have the best reward possible as well!
@@gtw4546 never said anything about praising my self or anyone I simply said it's this Easy Any Human being who takes in the Seed ( the word of God) is Israel by Grace Thru Faith. Israel is His 1st Born Not man's Israel Gods 1st Born has a Covenant to Keep Not to Be Saved But Because they are. It is obedience that Dad is looking for All He said is He's looking for an Obedient Heart. Deuteronomy 5 29
Thank you. I could never understand how we could be the bride and the guests. Now I understand that Israel is the bride and the believers who are grafted in are the guests. It makes so much sense
Also Jacobs name was changed to Israel in Genesis 32:28. And Believers become the, "House of Jacob," symbolically as we believers become the TEMPLE OF the Holy SPIRIT, (I Corinthians 3:16), made without hands. We BELIEVERS, "ARE," the final temple.
Hello my friends! From the bible belt myself also, in fact Joel, I'm not too far from ya lol. I'm in South central Kansas 😀. Been listening to you all for a long while now, didn't know we was so close, from one of the videos you said where you was at lol. Anyways, I appreciate how you use the word, read the word and only the word! I'm so displaced on how so many, make their own interpretation on how it all unfolds, even though it is all written out for hundreds of years! As the Angels told Daniel & John, too seal up the books till it's time, I feel, in my spirit, we may in the times of end now, No not tribulation yet, but as the signs are there of we "may" be the last generation, to see all this! It's such a great time too be alive! God is Great! ☺
And prayer fasting and meditation the and while I was studying the Holy Spirit took me in the scriptures dealing with Zion then he said I want you to write Zion down and put it all around your house and he said I want you to look meditate on the scriptures dealing with Zion and I'mma tell you what saying means Zion means having Zion means the secret place holy place it means Glory with God dwells it also means the city on the hill in Jerusalem that God has chosen for his own so when God told me this he's letting me know who he is calling who he is chose and it and I just balled out crying like a baby like I did before and I couldn't stop
And I just praise God praise God worship him his spirit and Truth like Jesus said we are to worship because in John chapter 4 verse 23 and 24 the Lord is looking for those who will worship Him in spirit and Truth and he is revealing himself to those who belong to him and he is letting us know what is to come he is dealing with us about things that's going to take place like he said and John 16 the holy spirit is living inside of us and he will speak only when he hears from the father and he is speaking what is to come John 16: 12 and 15
Delta Omicron is an anagram for Locate Nimrod as well as ‘come anti lord.’ I am praying hard to our Father in Heaven and Lord Jesus Christ. That alphabet has more, I know it. Maranatha!
Rev. 19:3 NIV "And again they shouted: 'Hallelujah!' The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever." And Many Glorious Hallelujahs & Thxs Galore To Our Messiah, Lord God Almighty Christ Jesus, For The Gift Of assisting me/Us with thEE Understanding Of His BIBLICAL TRUTH By Way Of Dear BrotherMan, MR. Joel. 🙏🏼❣😇
Excellent teaching. Recently read Hosea and this confirms my understanding. Also read over 40 comments made - some are either not listening properly and checking the Bible or so indoctrinated with a western cultural view point that they are unable to see the truth. PUT GOD/YHWH FIRST ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIS TRUTH TO YOU and He will!
Ignoring the time Revelation unfolds is also the wrong choice. Ignoring God's description of Israel, the mountains surrounding Jerusalem, and Jerusalem as beinging a wilderness and deserted places that He will bring the Woman to are also wrong choices. God is not in a box and should not be limited by our limited understandings.
Thank you. Very logical and clear. I learn something valuable each lesson that gets me closer to God. Wouldn't it be crazy if someone had a birthmark just above their knee on their right thigh in the shape of Old City Jerusalem that follows the natural topography?
JOEL ..BRAVO... I HAVE LISTENED AND LEARNED.. LAST EPISODE...DALTON HAD ME VERY..VERY TROUBLED.. FOR I AM A WARRIOR... COME FROM LONG LINE OF THEM!!! THIS ONE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY OPPOSITE.. I HAVE PREFFERED DALTON FOR A WHILE... BUT HAVE NEW FOUND RESPECT AND ADMIRATION FOR YOU... MARANATHA MY BROTHER!! WE YEARN FOR EVERY NEW SESSION...GOD BLESS ALWAYS!!!
Romans 10:9-10 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
I understand the thing with Israel completely I'm a new Christian but I get it I have a 13 year old daughter who through the environment that she was in when she was younger her father was very abusive to me and he eventually went to prison for it anyway she has displayed a lot of disobedient she's even hit me beat on me says horrible things to me and worst of all she has harmed yourself and it has been a long battle and a struggle but I will never give up on her and I love her dearly and deeply I made a promise to her a long time ago that I would make things better for us and no matter what it takes and no matter how long it takes that's going to happen and I know that will delay it will especially with God in our lives now things are getting better just wanted to say as a new Christian as a Layman about all this I can totally get the story of Israel God made a promise and our God is a god of Promises Kept is Covenant with Israel it's just one of the many things that makes him so awesome and trustworthy and trust me I have people telling me all the time how bad my daughter is and I should do this and I should do that and it makes me so angry because Joel's right like she's my child I can get angry with her but no one else can
I'm back, October 21, 2023, Jews say Jesus is an idol and Christians are the whores, idol worshippers. They think they can bring in moral law for the Noahides, a different law for the Gentiles, and Jews are not all Noahide.
Good teaching. I do have questions… If the”Harlot Babylon” is Mecca and the center of Islam, Why would the “Islamic Antichrist” destroy and burn her???
Agree, Israel is not Babylon, they have followed after Babylon at times, even now many do, but Yah will forgive Israel and all Gentiles who are graffed into the household of God.
Thank you for teaching. you say that the church is not the bride of Christ. perhaps i misunderstand it. how do you interpret Paul in efesians 5 verse 31 to the end. Paul clearly names the church as the bride of Christ. Can you comment on this?
I did not say the Church is not the Bride. If we follow the motif of marriage throughout the Bible, believing Israel is the bride, and we believing Gentiles become part of that corporate unified body.
How about this view, based on a talk I gave titled "Jerusalem: Zion vs. Babylon, Will the Real Jerusalem Please Stand Up." The perspective is this: Jerusalem has two identities or lives that she has been living for a long time, and she is in great conflict over which one she will give herself to and celebrate. Will it be the identity of the harlot and rebel of Babylon, or will it be Zion, the faithful city, the place where God will dwell forever. This is the tension and paradox under which Jerusalem has lived and set the tone for both herself andthe whole world. When she indulges herself as Babylon the world is deprived of truth and righteousness and godliness, when she gives herself to her Zion identity the world is and will be blessed beyond anything it has ever known.
I would like to donate to you guys, but I am an old fashioned money order kind of guy. Is that acceptable??? If so I will try to get one to you, do you guys have a PO box or whatever??? Please let me know if you can
Joel please present scripture that speaks of another banquet on Mt Zion where all believers are present. When does this occur and what is it called? Are both Gentiles and Israel at this event? Are Gentiles grafted in to the Olive Vine, and also in a covenanted relationship with Yah? Are Gentile believers in Yahweh and Yeshua the bride of Yeshua or are we just grafted in. What does "grafted in" really mean?
What if all believers are grafted in as the "bride"? How is that breaking the Mount Sinai covenant? Or does the Mount Sinai covenant imply exclusivity to Israel? If it does imply exclusivity to Israel, how does God define them? Bloodlline or declaration of faith?
@@davekpghpa The covenant at Sinai was made with Israel. Gentile believers need not be part of that covenant in order to be "grafted" into God's family. That's what Acts 15 was all about. Gentile believers are spiritual children of Abraham through having the same kind of faith that Abraham had (trusting YHVH and His Messiah). And of course through the New Covenant.
@@JoelRichardson honest question isn't it worth remembering that there was a mass multitude of gentiles that were at Sinai when the Covenant was made. As a result they were included into it even though they were not "Blood Israel". The idea of Gentiles being grafted in seems to be just as much apart of the Sinai Covenant as it is the New Covenant. Isreal is a people group by blood but it has Always been more then just that. That is my understanding atleast.
@@nathanieldiaz2845 Its a bit more complex than that. A non-Israelite can become circumcised and enter into the covenant with God and Israel, but doing so makes them Israel. As believing Gentiles, we are spiritual children of Abraham in that we have the same kind of faith as Abraham, but we do not become, nor are we ever called 'Jews' or 'Israel.' Of course we are grafted into the family of God and are now part of the "one new man" etc. We are full heirs of the blessings. But we are not Israel. A great book if you really wish to dig deep is David Pawson's Israel in the New Testament.
Brother Good study but I must say Jesus said in luke 13:33 that only in Jerusalem do prophets die, and it’s written in revelation 18:24 that in her (the harlot) the blood of the prophets was found, also the blood of apostles and followers of Jesus! Can you explain? Also I forget the verse but someone Google it, Jesus says to Jerusalem that all the righteous deaths on all the earth will be put on her charge and then in revelation the harlot is charged with the blood of all the righteous in the earth? I really think Jerusalem is the harlot. I do believe Jews will believe in Christ Just as far as I understand Jerusalem is the harlot
Jerusalem nor Israel is the women in Revelation 17:4 > And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: Neither Jewish priests nor temples are decked or arrayed in scarlet and purple and gold . It's obviously referring to something else, not the sins of her people though they did go after other gods of the nations - that's spiritual adultery and fornication. Neither is Jerusalem or Israel drunk with the blood of saints and martyrs. In fact Jews in captivity and also in the holocaust always went as sheep to the slaughter. Let no one teach that mystery Babylon is about Jerusalem or Israel. Shalom
Ok so where do you guys say the "church" the bride of Christ is at this point right now?? Right when the woman is introduced....... Jesus clearly says the church is His bride Ephesians 5:25 through 27. NOT Israel.....so I'm just curious how you get around those verses?? THANKS!!!! AGAIN EVERYTHING IS ASKED OUT OF PURE LOVE. I KNOW THERE IS NOTHING GOOD IN ME BUT CHRIST. I honestly with a open heart just seeking truth. Maranatha!!! 🙏🙏🙏❤️✌️ I know there is also a place that says in the end Israel will call Jesus husband however I take that too mean after the "time of Jacob's trouble or Israel's trouble" not the time of the church's trouble. Isn't that why he makes such a distinction between Israel and the church? Or else why wouldn't he just say the time of the Bride of Christ's trouble? Why does he feel the need in grammar like you guys say you're so on grammar, to say the sentence in those terms and clearly in several parts mentioned that it's the time of Jacob's trouble all throughout the Bible? And yes I agree Jerusalem is going to be redeemed but it says that there's going to be a new heaven and a new Earth behold the old heaven and the old Earth have passed away so I'm curious like you guys say the Earth is never going to just go away the heavens and the Earth are just going to become one it doesn't say that in Scripture anyway just some more questions hope I can get them answered much love as always!!!!!
Well where is Babylon and where is Jerusalem, then. You haven't explained at all where the two locations are. Where is it that actually gets destroyed, and where is it that Jesus reigns as king? I mean you talk a lot about them being two different women, but from what i understand they are both the city of jerusalem? Is one the city of David? How on earth do you expect us to understand what you mean?
I’ve been following along with you guys the last few months. I’ve had a hard time reconciling the scripture pointing to Islam but the obvious role the Roman Catholic Church has and seems to currently be playing. I began searching and found what seems to be reason to believe that the Catholic Church actually formed and propagated the Muslim faith. That seems to explain the beast/ harlot relationship as well as the feet of iron and clay in Daniel. Rome’s authority making use of Islam’s military force. Am I missing something and way off, or is that at least a reasonable hypothesis??
It's totally bogus. The notion that Rome created Islam is a truly bizarre theory created by a guy names Alberto Rivera. He claimed to have been a former Catholic Priest in Spain who learned all of this deep information inside the Vatican etc.and then came to the US as a Protestant and shared this information with the churches. His brothers and sisters all say he is a fraud who was never a priest. His story is filled with lies. He got caught several times on tape. He basically just made stuff up and bilked the American Church for years doing so. He had numerous arrest warrants in different states for financial scams. His story itself is filled with obvious anachronisms for anyone who is familiar with history. So try to follow this: He claims the Roman Catholic Church created Islam because it wanted to create an army to kill Eastern Orthodox Christians. Islam started in the 7th century. The split between Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy did not happen for another 400 years. That would be like saying that Donald Trump actually created George Washington and America to defeat the Chinese. Hope that was helpful. Blessings!
Enjoyed this study - just want to ask how do you see the following : And the Lord said, "Call his name Not My People, for you are not my people, and I am not your God." Hosea 1 : 9 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, O Ephraim, you have played the whore; Israel is defiled. Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God. For the spirit of whoredom is within them, and they know not the Lord. Hosea 5:3-4 ESV If you know the divorce law Deut 24 : 1- 4 , the divorced wife may never return to her former husband again ever after being declared " defiled " . So how then is it possible for God to make the following statement : Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered. And in the place where it was said to them, "You are not my people," it shall be said to them, "Children of the living God." Hosea 1:10 ESV We serve a Righteous God , who will never violate His own law ! So how do you see God telling Hosea the last verse quoted . Shalom and God bless
@@JoelRichardson Hmm.. The Father has a bride, We become sons of God therefore brethren to Messiah. Messiah has a bride and Revelation says That bride is New Jerusalem.. Just trying to spiritually discern and rightfully divide. And thinking out loud..
@@vikkijacob3244 There is only one bride and one wedding. Scripture does not speak of two, but one marriage banquet in Jerusalem, for "all peoples" (Isaiah 25).
We read at John chapter 17 this short passage; "(...) babylon the great the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth. >> "I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus" (...) In my oppinion this can not happened in Jerusalem cause it was destroyed after John made his prophecies. And it can`t happen in futur after the rebirth of Jerusalem what means in our generation. Today there is no place in world where "God`s holy poeple"(and "those who bore testimony to Jesus" ) are existing or get killed. This can only happened in past time - the only possible place ( and circumstances) in this context was Rome and/or maybe Bycantine, so this prophecy of John seems to be fullfilled.
And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.” When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus’ parables, they knew he was talking about them. For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. Could someone kindly and humbly explain to me how these passages relate to Israel in the last days. Thank you brothers and sisters
"And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham." Jesus was simply saying that being ethnic/genetic children of Abraham is not enough to God. They also need to have the faith of Abraham. As Paul alter said, a "true Jew" is one who is both Jewish and who also has the faith of Abraham. "Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.” When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus’ parables, they knew he was talking about them." This was a rebuke to Jesus' fellow countrymen and religious leaders of his day. It is not spoken to the totality of all Israel down through history. Whoever rejects Jesus will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
The Woman in the Wilderness is a real woman. She is the second witness and the Lamb's Wife. The first witness is the Messiah, the Lamb of Judgement. Together they will call the world to repentance, prophesy and judge the nations. Zion is her prophet name. She is the Holy Spirit, Mother in heaven. The Lamb is the Spirit of the Father and his name is Emmanuel. They are future King and Queen of Israel. You are being called to repentance for falsely prophesying out of the Book of Revelation.
mystery bablyon is vatican city, the harlot religion woman on the beast. Rev 17 very descriptive of the catholic religion, even the popes garments, and head garments. The land where they tortured etc.To get the most out of the bible, be built up in the spirit, your eyes see more.
You're saying that the woman in Revelation chapter 12 is Jerusalem or Israel. If the woman represents Israel, then who are the remnant of Israel according to the same chapter in the last verse? Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, "which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ". Who is the Church of Jesus Christ? Are they not the same people who have the testimony of Jesus Christ and who keep the commandments of god? Is there any Scripture whatsoever in the Book of Revelation which indicates that a massive amount of people will repent and accept Jesus Christ as their lord and savior during Daniel 70th week? Absolutely not! The saints who are persecuted and who are prevailed against by the dragon during Daniel's 70th week are the Church of Jesus Christ and are the remnant of the seed of Israel. There is no indication of a repentance. In fact, it is stated four times in the Book of Revelation that despite God having power over the plagues coming in the Earth, that men will continue to blaspheme God and will not repent. Therefore, there is no pre-tribulation rapture. We are the saints who are persecuted and prevailed against during Daniel's 70th week and we must prepare to afflict our souls and be ready to face death while at the same time winning as many people to Christ as possible.
seems to me you're conflating. Israel is the Father's wife through whom the Son was begotten, the Church is the bride of Christ, the Son. The Father and Son would NOT share a bride. Also, since Jesus was the Father's BEGOTTEN son, the relationship between the father and his bride HAS BEEN consummated, however Christ has gone to prepare a place for HIS bride, the church, they are different women.
@@JoelRichardson so..who begot the child of the woman whom the dragon is waiting to devour, the child himself? And he's going to marry his mother? 1 god in 3 persons, 2 of which have wives we know of. Since this isn't salvational, it'll simply be really interesting to see which way of reading the story turns out to have been correct in the end. Thanks for all you do and many prayers supporting you.
@@HeadRoaster We must never force metaphors beyond what they are intended to convey. For example, we are the bride of Christ, I assume you would agree? But Jesus also called the disciples his brothers. Will Jesus marry His brothers? Worse yet, we are also sons and daughters. Will Jesus marry his children? Forcing analogies or metaphors beyond what they are intended to convey always leads to silliness. Instead, we must focus on examining what the Bible says. Scripture only speaks of one wedding, one unified new people of God. The idea that there are two brides was suggested entirely to save the doctrine fo the pre-trib rapture. But it is not found in the biblical narrative. Blessings to you!
I listened to your whole video but respectfully with love disagree, Jerusalem is a habitation for devils and a cage for every unclean bird. She says in her heart she sits a queen and is no widow, not knowing her husband came to take the cup of the adulterous bride,(numbers 5) Jerusalem is a Strange Woman, who’s feet abide not in her own house(proverbs 7), and has decked her bed for other lovers, she will be judged as a woman that breaks wedlock. (Ezekiel 16) Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness. In her is found the blood of the prophets and saints(Revelation 18) That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.(Matthew 23) Everyone who uses proverbs will use this proverb, as is the Mother so is her daughter.(Ezekiel 16) Scripture beats this point like a dead whorse ;) Is there another woman that sits on these 7 mountains? 1.) Egypt 2.) Assyria 3.) Babylon 4.) Medo/Persia 5.) Greece 6.) Rome 7/8.) Anti Christ Zechariah speaks through the Spirit about a Woman that sits in the midst of the ephah, This is Wickedness! Then two women, come out and bare the ephah between the heaven and the earth, to build it a house in the place of shinar to be established in her own base. I currently believe this to be speaking of Jerusalem and her daughters, Israel and Judah. Plead with your mother! For she is not mine! She is Of Babylon like the Pharisees were Of the devil. Shalom brother ✌️
The woman is not JERUSALEM. The woman is the church. Israel is still in darkness. The woman is the bride washed in the blood of the lamb, the manchild are the martyrs and the remnant those alive in the grt trib. You are very wrong. 2 women in the book of revelation. The other is the body of Christ the bride.
It stills a Jewish reading of the scriptures… In God’s kingdom who is already and is to come there’s no more jew, no more greek, no circumcised or not, no barbaric no scythe…then if you read scriptures referring to the new Jerusalem, a particular viewpoint doesn’t fitt
It all started with the prophecy that YHWH said in Genesis 3:15. *There will be a long enmity between the serpent and the Woman, between the seed of the serpent and the seed of the Woman.* The Dragon is the first serpent that is the Devil. (Revelation 12:9) The devil is the ruler of the world. (1 John 5:19) Beasts are the seeds of the serpent, be it the 4 beasts mentioned in Daniel 7 , 2 beasts in Revelation 13 and 1 beast in Revelation 17. The Seed of the Woman is God's Chosen People. There is a great mystery about who the two great empires after Babylon, Medo-Persia, Macedonian/Greek and Roman symbolized as Parts of feet made of *Iron & Clay* is written in Daniel chapter 2. Jesus revealed the 2 great Empires through prophecy in the 13th chapter of the Book of Revelation. The beast is generally used as a national symbol by many countries. In Revelation 13 John prophesies about superpower countries after the Roman Empire that the devil uses to make war with the remnant of the women's seed (Rev 12:17). *The First Beast coming out of The Sea (Rev 13:1) It means The Beast just walks on the land.This country is on an island in the ocean.* The Kingdom of the British Isles in the North Atlantic Ocean was formerly a province of the Roman Empire. The Anglo Saxons with their 7 main kingdoms (the Heptarchy) were the forerunners of the present-day British empire. Since the Kingdoms were united by William the conqueror of Normandy, this beast symbol has been used until now by 10 dynasties that once ruled in England (House of Normandy to House of Windsor). *The beast resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion.(Rev 13:2). It was Lion Passant Guardant.* The three lions passant guardant in pale or armed and langued azure, signifying three identical gold lions (also known as leopards) with blue tongues and claws, walking past but facing the observer, arranged in a column on a red background. Although the tincture azure of tongue and claws is not cited in many blazons, they are historically a distinguishing feature of the arms of England. *One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed (Rev 13: 3).* The civil war that occurred in England resulted in the defeat of the British monarchy and made England a commonwealth country where the British monarchy was no longer in power, but the British monarchy came back in power after that. *The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months (Rev 13: 5)* Conscription during the First World War began when the British government passed the Military Service Act in January 1916. Conscription lasted until mid-1919. *and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.(Rev 13:7)* The British Empire was once the ruler of the world and had a territory of 1/5 of the earth's area and controlled 1/4 of the earth's population. *The Second Beast coming out of the earth (Rev 13:11) It means The Beast can Fly like a bird and This country is on a continent.* The Second Continental Congress selected the Bald Eagle as the U. S. National Symbol on June 20, 1782. *It had two horns like a lamb (Rev 13:11) = short-lived two-party system alternately sovereign.* *And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him. (Rev 13:12)* The United States is the successor of the British Empire in exercising power as the world's police. *Causing fire to come down from heaven (Rev 13:13) = Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.* (No country other than the U.S. has ever dropped fire from the sky so intensely and because of that other countries have become afraid.) *The Image of The First Beast (Rev 13:14,15) = NATO* (see how NATO was formed and how the U.S helped NATO members who were injured after the World War according to the Marshall Plan) *The mark on their right hand or on their forehead (Revelation 13:16)=It means a dedication.* The mark of the beast is on the sleeves or hats of military uniforms. The U.S. always enforces military service when in a state of war. The United States abolished the military service in 1975, but all male citizens aged 18-25 are required to register with the U.S. Selective Service System to facilitate reinstatement if necessary. *They could not buy or sell unless they had the mark (Rev 13:17)* There is a penalty for refusing Military Service or The Draft imposed by the U.S. government through the Selective Service System, which is 5 years in prison. Those who were imprisoned certainly could not sell or buy. If any American man does not register with the Selective Service System, he can be sentenced to life in prison. For example, men who don't register can't receive federal financial aid, and they can't work for the federal government. (See the seal of the Selective Service System) American men who have registered in The Draft will receive these marks when WW3 occurs and those who refuse will be imprisoned. *666 read SixSixSix abbreviated as SSS is an abbreviation of one of the divisions of the United States government, namely the Selective Service System.* You will find SSS written on the Selective Service System seal. Revelation 13 _4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and _*_they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?_* That's how to worship the beast. It's all about beeing the Army and joint the war. _9 If any man have an ear, let him hear._ *_10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword._*_ Here is the patience and the faith of the saints._ At the time of the war the beast will impose military service and will imprison anyone who refuses. For the saints (The remnant of the women's seed) who obeyed Jesus' command not to kill & keep love their neighbor, they would rather go to prison than go to war. To be in the army and to go to war is to receive the mark of the beast. *_The Beasts in Revelation chapter 13 is the fulfillment of the last 2 great kingdoms of Daniel chapters 2 & 7 before the Kingdom of God comes_* *The beast that came out of the sea in Revelation 13:1,2 was "The Part of feet made of Iron" & "The three horns that fell in Daniel 2:33 & Daniel 7:8,20,24" refers to U.K.* Iron & Other Metals means monarchy. See the picture of: *_THE ROYAL ARMS OF ENGLAND_* In Heraldry it was the leopard that John saw with long claws like a bear that could not be tucked away and had the mouth of a lion. *The beast that came out of the earth in Revelation 13:11-18 was "The Part of feet made of Clay" & "the little horn that grew big and had eyes and mouth" refers to U.S.A.* Clay means republic. See the picture of: *_THE GREAT SEAL OF U.S._* In John's vision what is seen is the obverse of The great seal of US, while Daniel sees the reverse of The great seal of US. The Mark of The Beast: *_Seal of the Selective Service System_* SSS = SixSixSix = 666
There is one more country (The beast) that will appear after UK and USA. This beast came out of the abyss. Revelation 11 _7 Now when they have finished their testimony, _*_the beast that comes up from the Abyss (State of Israel)_*_ will attack them, and overpower and kill them._ _8 Their bodies will lie in the public square of _*_the great city (Jerusalem)_*_ which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt _*_where also their Lord (Jesus) was crucified._* Revelation 17 _8 The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and yet _*_will come up out of the Abyss (State of Israel)_*_ and go to its destruction.The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because _*_it once was, now is not, and yet will come._* The only sovereign state in the world that once existed then fell and after a long time returned to sovereignty in the same territory and with the same name is *Israel.* _____________________________ The Mystery of Babylon the Great is a prophecy for the Earthly Jerusalem. They have made all the inhabitants of the earth drunk by their religious doctrines. Jerusalem became rich because of the trade of pilgrims from all over the world. Jerusalem is called the mother of harlots because she was the first harlot (Ezekiel 16). The term *The great city* in the book of revelation always refers to the earthly city of Jerusalem. Revelation 17 _18 And the woman which thou sawest _*_is that great city,_*_ which reigneth over the kings of the earth._ Revelation 16 _19 And _*_the great city was divided into three parts,_*_ and the cities of the nations fell: _*_and great Babylon came in remembrance before God,_*_ to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath._ Now the city of Jerusalem has been divided into the holy city of three religions. Judaism, Islam and Christianity. Just as Babylon was once a holy city of many religions so is Jerusalem today, that is why God remembered Jerusalem as Babylon when the city was divided into three parts. The scarlet beast that carrieth the women was the State of Israel. This beast came out of the abyss. (Revelation 11:7 & 17:8) Scarlet color means full of sin. (Isaiah 1:18) The State of Israel is the only country in the world that once existed and then disappeared and came back as a state. (Revelation 17:8,11) Revelation 17 _9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman _*_(Jerusalem)_*_ sitteth._ _10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen _*_(The Kingdom of Israel, Assyrian, Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Greece)_* _and one is _*_(Roman Empire)_* _, and the other is not yet come _*_(Arab Kingdoms);_*_ and when he cometh, he must continue a short space._ _11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven _*_(The State of Israel),_*_ and goeth into perdition._ _12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; _*_(the Rashidun Caliphs, Umayyads, Abbasids, Fatimids, Seljuks, Crusaders, Ayyubids, the Mamluk sultans of Egypt, the Ottoman Empire, the British.)_*_ but receive power as kings one hour with the beast._ Because there will be a new Jerusalem coming down from heaven, Jerusalem which is on earth full of false worship must be destroyed. After Jerusalem on earth is completely destroyed, that is a sign of Christ's coming to pick up his chosen 144,000 people to rule with him in the new Jerusalem in heaven by resurrecting them in the first resurrection. (Revelation 20:4-6) The temple of God has been trampled by the Muslims and used to worship the unknown god, the Jews worship the walls and the Christians worship the graves. The sins of Earthly Jerusalem have piled up as high as the sky.(Rev 18:5) Revelation 18 _4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say:_ *_“‘Come out of her, my people,_* _so that you will not share in her sins,_ _so that you will not receive any of her plagues;_
@SixthSealRapture John 4 _21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain _*_nor in Jerusalem._* This is how Babylon the great (earthly Jerusalem) will be destroyed: Revelation 18 (NIV) _2 With a mighty voice he shouted:_ _“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’_ *_She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit,_* _a haunt for every unclean bird,_ _a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal._ _21 Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said:_ *_“With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down,_* *_never to be found again._* _22 The music of harpists and musicians, pipers and trumpeters,_ *_will never be heard in you again._* _No worker of any trade_ *_will ever be found in you again._* _The sound of a millstone_ *_will never be heard in you again._* *_23 The light of a lampwill never shine in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again._*_ Your merchants were the world’s important people. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray._ _24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of God’s holy people, of all who have been slaughtered on the earth.”_ No more humans will be able to live in that City. The only way a city can be destroyed to make it uninhabitable is by dropping a nuclear bomb. Just as the city of Babylon was destroyed by Cyrus the Persian, so Babylon the great (Jerusalem) will be destroyed by Iran. You don't have to believe this now, believe it when all this happens. This is what the two witnesses will say when they come to Jerusalem. (Revelation 11)
Truly a family affair. I am currently reading the Book of Lamentations. Throughout it we find the Judgment & Forgiveness theme as well. The Father's plan is perfect!
GM COULD YOU EXPLAIN WHEN YOU SAY IT IS A FAMILY AFFAIR
Could you explain the Family affair
Thank you Joel for being 'Word-based'. God bless you for edifying the body of Christ with sound doctrine.
thanks brother for the teaching. I am praying for you and your family, esp. your wife. I admire your faith and love.
The way I understand it is that ALL believers are the bride (jew and gentile), but we all don't become the bride until Israel is redeemed. It kind of reminds me about the scripture that says those that are last will be first and the first will be last. Israel has the first covenant but will be the last to have their eyes opened to be redeemed.
Ride On Sister in Jesus Christ God Bless You
Then who are the virgin attendants to the bride? Who are the wedding guests? Not all will have the same level of intimacy with and access to the Bridegroom! There is a judgment of rewards among believers (Jew and gentile), so let's not assume that becoming His bride is transactional when we come to redemption. HOW we build on the foundation of Yeshua/Jesus matters - wood, hay, and stubble? Or gold, silver, and precious stones?
Only one good Seed sister if you as any human takes in the seed of God they are Israel by grace thru faith like everyone else before us.
@@rocdajacable Yet even among the seed of Abraham there were different tribes and clans within each tribe! Not all had the same honor. We are Abraham's seed by faith, but will be like Saul or like David? Will we be an Abihu or an Eleazar among the sons of Aaron? Will we bring forth a righteous crop of 30? Or 60? Or 100 fold? Will we be overcomers?
So let's live out our gratitude for His redemption and live to please Him rather than ourselves so we can have the best reward possible when the righteous are called to receive their reward. And let's help our brothers and sisters to have the best reward possible as well!
@@gtw4546 never said anything about praising my self or anyone I simply said it's this Easy Any Human being who takes in the Seed ( the word of God) is Israel by Grace Thru Faith.
Israel is His 1st Born Not man's
Israel Gods 1st Born has a Covenant to Keep Not to Be Saved But Because they are.
It is obedience that Dad is looking for

Thank you and God bless you always
Thank you. Love your teaching.
Excellent study on Zion, the bride of Christ! Hope to hear you also expound on Babylon, the harlot (as she is portrayed in Rev. 17-18).
The little horn is the vatican
You guys are excellent
Another awesome bible study. Thanks Joel.
Thank you. I could never understand how we could be the bride and the guests. Now I understand that Israel is the bride and the believers who are grafted in are the guests. It makes so much sense
Yes as per Romans 2:28-29.
Also Jacobs name was changed to Israel in Genesis 32:28. And Believers become the, "House of Jacob," symbolically as we believers become the TEMPLE OF the Holy SPIRIT,
(I Corinthians 3:16), made without hands.
We BELIEVERS, "ARE," the final temple.
Hello my friends! From the bible belt myself also, in fact Joel, I'm not too far from ya lol. I'm in South central Kansas 😀. Been listening to you all for a long while now, didn't know we was so close, from one of the videos you said where you was at lol.
Anyways, I appreciate how you use the word, read the word and only the word! I'm so displaced on how so many, make their own interpretation on how it all unfolds, even though it is all written out for hundreds of years! As the Angels told Daniel & John, too seal up the books till it's time, I feel, in my spirit, we may in the times of end now, No not tribulation yet, but as the signs are there of we "may" be the last generation, to see all this! It's such a great time too be alive! God is Great! ☺
the bride is the 144000 selected from the earth, lean not on your own understanding.....or bias. Love your work!
It would be very prudent to consider the outstanding work of a variety of exceptional 19th century bible commentaries. ✔️
And prayer fasting and meditation the and while I was studying the Holy Spirit took me in the scriptures dealing with Zion then he said I want you to write Zion down and put it all around your house and he said I want you to look meditate on the scriptures dealing with Zion and I'mma tell you what saying means Zion means having Zion means the secret place holy place it means Glory with God dwells it also means the city on the hill in Jerusalem that God has chosen for his own so when God told me this he's letting me know who he is calling who he is chose and it and I just balled out crying like a baby like I did before and I couldn't stop
Brilliant exposition
Thank you for such great insight. Love the way the Scriptures are tied up
And I just praise God praise God worship him his spirit and Truth like Jesus said we are to worship because in John chapter 4 verse 23 and 24 the Lord is looking for those who will worship Him in spirit and Truth and he is revealing himself to those who belong to him and he is letting us know what is to come he is dealing with us about things that's going to take place like he said and John 16 the holy spirit is living inside of us and he will speak only when he hears from the father and he is speaking what is to come John 16: 12 and 15
Delta Omicron is an anagram for Locate Nimrod as well as ‘come anti lord.’ I am praying hard to our Father in Heaven and Lord Jesus Christ. That alphabet has more, I know it. Maranatha!

And Many Glorious Hallelujahs & Thxs Galore To Our Messiah, Lord God Almighty Christ Jesus, For The Gift Of assisting me/Us with thEE Understanding Of His BIBLICAL TRUTH By Way Of Dear BrotherMan, MR. Joel. 🙏🏼❣😇
Great teaching Joel.
Thank you Joel.
You guys speak truth
Amen and amen!
Excellent teaching. Recently read Hosea and this confirms my understanding. Also read over 40 comments made - some are either not listening properly and checking the Bible or so indoctrinated with a western cultural view point that they are unable to see the truth. PUT GOD/YHWH FIRST ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIS TRUTH TO YOU and He will!
Thank you 😊
ThankU Joel!praiseYeshua!
Amen
Ignoring the time Revelation unfolds is also the wrong choice. Ignoring God's description of Israel, the mountains surrounding Jerusalem, and Jerusalem as beinging a wilderness and deserted places that He will bring the Woman to are also wrong choices. God is not in a box and should not be limited by our limited understandings.
Thank you. Very logical and clear. I learn something valuable each lesson that gets me closer to God. Wouldn't it be crazy if someone had a birthmark just above their knee on their right thigh in the shape of Old City Jerusalem that follows the natural topography?
JOEL ..BRAVO... I HAVE LISTENED AND LEARNED.. LAST EPISODE...DALTON HAD ME VERY..VERY TROUBLED.. FOR I AM A WARRIOR... COME FROM LONG LINE OF THEM!!! THIS ONE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY OPPOSITE.. I HAVE PREFFERED DALTON FOR A WHILE... BUT HAVE NEW FOUND RESPECT AND ADMIRATION FOR YOU... MARANATHA MY BROTHER!! WE YEARN FOR EVERY NEW SESSION...GOD BLESS ALWAYS!!!
Galatians 4:26 KJVS
[26] But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Did he just say that!!! Lol, I had to rewind just to make sure.... glad you acknowledged that Joel. 😂
Great teaching, Joel. Thank you!
Jesus said he was not to condem the world 🌎 but to save the world and them there in Amen 🙏
Romans 10:9-10 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Who are TRULY THE FAITHFUL. WHO? GENTILES HAVE BEEN MORE FAITHFUL. MORE GETILES will be pulled up. So simple.
I understand the thing with Israel completely I'm a new Christian but I get it I have a 13 year old daughter who through the environment that she was in when she was younger her father was very abusive to me and he eventually went to prison for it anyway she has displayed a lot of disobedient she's even hit me beat on me says horrible things to me and worst of all she has harmed yourself and it has been a long battle and a struggle but I will never give up on her and I love her dearly and deeply I made a promise to her a long time ago that I would make things better for us and no matter what it takes and no matter how long it takes that's going to happen and I know that will delay it will especially with God in our lives now things are getting better just wanted to say as a new Christian as a Layman about all this I can totally get the story of Israel God made a promise and our God is a god of Promises Kept is Covenant with Israel it's just one of the many things that makes him so awesome and trustworthy and trust me I have people telling me all the time how bad my daughter is and I should do this and I should do that and it makes me so angry because Joel's right like she's my child I can get angry with her but no one else can
GOD be with you all...
MsRhuby was here February 3, 2023 #mojorising
I'm back, October 21, 2023, Jews say Jesus is an idol and Christians are the whores, idol worshippers. They think they can bring in moral law for the Noahides, a different law for the Gentiles, and Jews are not all Noahide.
Good teaching. I do have questions… If the”Harlot Babylon” is Mecca and the center of Islam, Why would the “Islamic Antichrist” destroy and burn her???
8t is spiritual and without the Holy Spirit you will not understand the spiritual meaning. It will only be words
What us 8t?
Agree, Israel is not Babylon, they have followed after Babylon at times, even now many do, but Yah will forgive Israel and all Gentiles who are graffed into the household of God.
So then who is Babylon?
Thank you for teaching. you say that the church is not the bride of Christ. perhaps i misunderstand it. how do you interpret Paul in efesians 5 verse 31 to the end. Paul clearly names the church as the bride of Christ. Can you comment on this?
I did not say the Church is not the Bride. If we follow the motif of marriage throughout the Bible, believing Israel is the bride, and we believing Gentiles become part of that corporate unified body.
How about this view, based on a talk I gave titled "Jerusalem: Zion vs. Babylon, Will the Real Jerusalem Please Stand Up." The perspective is this: Jerusalem has two identities or lives that she has been living for a long time, and she is in great conflict over which one she will give herself to and celebrate. Will it be the identity of the harlot and rebel of Babylon, or will it be Zion, the faithful city, the place where God will dwell forever. This is the tension and paradox under which Jerusalem has lived and set the tone for both herself andthe whole world. When she indulges herself as Babylon the world is deprived of truth and righteousness and godliness, when she gives herself to her Zion identity the world is and will be blessed beyond anything it has ever known.
It's already been answered by God's script-"sure". The true Israel will be revealed when it manifests biblical Zion in the end of the Age.
I would like to donate to you guys, but I am an old fashioned money order kind of guy. Is that acceptable??? If so I will try to get one to you, do you guys have a PO box or whatever??? Please let me know if you can
Why was this not preach before now
Why some people are just hearing this
Can we please lose the adds. Thank you
Joel please present scripture that speaks of another banquet on Mt Zion where all believers are present. When does this occur and what is it called? Are both Gentiles and Israel at this event? Are Gentiles grafted in to the Olive Vine, and also in a covenanted relationship with Yah? Are Gentile believers in Yahweh and Yeshua the bride of Yeshua or are we just grafted in. What does "grafted in" really mean?
I love your teaching but I'm a bit disturbed by the dark settings used in your videos. Please consider using normal room lighting. Thanks guys.
Have you considered Dubai as Mystery Babylon?
So, okay, where is the church in all this. Are we just guests, onlookers?
Grafted in, full heirs, children of God.
@@JoelRichardson so, when in Revelation, it speaks of Jerusalem we are to lump the church and Jerusalem together?
What if all believers are grafted in as the "bride"? How is that breaking the Mount Sinai covenant? Or does the Mount Sinai covenant imply exclusivity to Israel? If it does imply exclusivity to Israel, how does God define them? Bloodlline or declaration of faith?
All believers are the bride.
@@JoelRichardson That's the way I understand it. But I'm honestly trying to understand the arguments on other side of this issue.
@@davekpghpa The covenant at Sinai was made with Israel. Gentile believers need not be part of that covenant in order to be "grafted" into God's family. That's what Acts 15 was all about. Gentile believers are spiritual children of Abraham through having the same kind of faith that Abraham had (trusting YHVH and His Messiah). And of course through the New Covenant.
@@JoelRichardson honest question isn't it worth remembering that there was a mass multitude of gentiles that were at Sinai when the Covenant was made. As a result they were included into it even though they were not "Blood Israel".
The idea of Gentiles being grafted in seems to be just as much apart of the Sinai Covenant as it is the New Covenant.
Isreal is a people group by blood but it has Always been more then just that.
That is my understanding atleast.
@@nathanieldiaz2845 Its a bit more complex than that. A non-Israelite can become circumcised and enter into the covenant with God and Israel, but doing so makes them Israel. As believing Gentiles, we are spiritual children of Abraham in that we have the same kind of faith as Abraham, but we do not become, nor are we ever called 'Jews' or 'Israel.' Of course we are grafted into the family of God and are now part of the "one new man" etc. We are full heirs of the blessings. But we are not Israel. A great book if you really wish to dig deep is David Pawson's Israel in the New Testament.
Isn't the new Everlasting covenant now in Jesus blood?
Brother Good study but I must say Jesus said in luke 13:33 that only in Jerusalem do prophets die, and it’s written in revelation 18:24 that in her (the harlot) the blood of the prophets was found, also the blood of apostles and followers of Jesus! Can you explain? Also I forget the verse but someone Google it, Jesus says to Jerusalem that all the righteous deaths on all the earth will be put on her charge and then in revelation the harlot is charged with the blood of all the righteous in the earth? I really think Jerusalem is the harlot. I do believe Jews will believe in Christ Just as far as I understand Jerusalem is the harlot
You kind skip around the actual context. The raising and exaltation is post second coming.
Jerusalem nor Israel is the women in Revelation 17:4 > And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
Neither Jewish priests nor temples are decked or arrayed in scarlet and purple and gold . It's obviously referring to something else, not the sins of her people though they did go after other gods of the nations - that's spiritual adultery and fornication.
Neither is Jerusalem or Israel drunk with the blood of saints and martyrs. In fact Jews in captivity and also in the holocaust always went as sheep to the slaughter. Let no one teach that mystery Babylon is about Jerusalem or Israel.
Shalom
Can’t you just finally tell us who you think mystery Babylon is? I feel like you keep sidestepping this topic.
Ok so where do you guys say the "church" the bride of Christ is at this point right now?? Right when the woman is introduced....... Jesus clearly says the church is His bride Ephesians 5:25 through 27. NOT Israel.....so I'm just curious how you get around those verses?? THANKS!!!! AGAIN EVERYTHING IS ASKED OUT OF PURE LOVE. I KNOW THERE IS NOTHING GOOD IN ME BUT CHRIST. I honestly with a open heart just seeking truth. Maranatha!!! 🙏🙏🙏❤️✌️ I know there is also a place that says in the end Israel will call Jesus husband however I take that too mean after the "time of Jacob's trouble or Israel's trouble" not the time of the church's trouble. Isn't that why he makes such a distinction between Israel and the church? Or else why wouldn't he just say the time of the Bride of Christ's trouble? Why does he feel the need in grammar like you guys say you're so on grammar, to say the sentence in those terms and clearly in several parts mentioned that it's the time of Jacob's trouble all throughout the Bible? And yes I agree Jerusalem is going to be redeemed but it says that there's going to be a new heaven and a new Earth behold the old heaven and the old Earth have passed away so I'm curious like you guys say the Earth is never going to just go away the heavens and the Earth are just going to become one it doesn't say that in Scripture anyway just some more questions hope I can get them answered much love as always!!!!!
Gbu
JESUIT RABHI JONATHAN CAHN.. HOUSE OF ARRON/MOSES... LEVITE/TEMPLE KEEPER
All roads lead to Rome.
So who is Babylon
Well where is Babylon and where is Jerusalem, then. You haven't explained at all where the two locations are. Where is it that actually gets destroyed, and where is it that Jesus reigns as king? I mean you talk a lot about them being two different women, but from what i understand they are both the city of jerusalem? Is one the city of David? How on earth do you expect us to understand what you mean?
Are these guys preaching from Isriel?
I would to talk to you about this topic 🙏🏽
I’ve been following along with you guys the last few months. I’ve had a hard time reconciling the scripture pointing to Islam but the obvious role the Roman Catholic Church has and seems to currently be playing. I began searching and found what seems to be reason to believe that the Catholic Church actually formed and propagated the Muslim faith. That seems to explain the beast/ harlot relationship as well as the feet of iron and clay in Daniel. Rome’s authority making use of Islam’s military force. Am I missing something and way off, or is that at least a reasonable hypothesis??
It's totally bogus. The notion that Rome created Islam is a truly bizarre theory created by a guy names Alberto Rivera. He claimed to have been a former Catholic Priest in Spain who learned all of this deep information inside the Vatican etc.and then came to the US as a Protestant and shared this information with the churches. His brothers and sisters all say he is a fraud who was never a priest. His story is filled with lies. He got caught several times on tape. He basically just made stuff up and bilked the American Church for years doing so. He had numerous arrest warrants in different states for financial scams. His story itself is filled with obvious anachronisms for anyone who is familiar with history. So try to follow this: He claims the Roman Catholic Church created Islam because it wanted to create an army to kill Eastern Orthodox Christians. Islam started in the 7th century. The split between Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy did not happen for another 400 years. That would be like saying that Donald Trump actually created George Washington and America to defeat the Chinese. Hope that was helpful. Blessings!
@@JoelRichardson thanks man👍
Enjoyed this study - just want to ask how do you see the following :
And the Lord said, "Call his name Not My People, for you are not my people, and I am not your God."
Hosea 1 : 9
I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, O Ephraim, you have played the whore; Israel is defiled. Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God. For the spirit of whoredom is within them, and they know not the Lord.
Hosea 5:3-4 ESV
If you know the divorce law Deut 24 : 1- 4 , the divorced wife may never return to her former husband again ever after being declared " defiled " .
So how then is it possible for God to make the following statement :
Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered. And in the place where it was said to them, "You are not my people," it shall be said to them, "Children of the living God."
Hosea 1:10 ESV
We serve a Righteous God , who will never violate His own law ! So how do you see God telling Hosea the last verse quoted . Shalom and God bless
If the Husband dies, the woman is free to marry whom she will in the lord ;)
Joel, if the woman is pregnant with Messiah (who is the Lamb), then how can she be betrothed to the Lamb?
If Jesus calls us his brethren brothers and sisters, how can we be His bride? Analogies always break down when pushed beyond what they were intended.
@@JoelRichardson Hmm.. The Father has a bride, We become sons of God therefore brethren to Messiah. Messiah has a bride and Revelation says That bride is New Jerusalem.. Just trying to spiritually discern and rightfully divide. And thinking out loud..
@@vikkijacob3244 There is only one bride and one wedding. Scripture does not speak of two, but one marriage banquet in Jerusalem, for "all peoples" (Isaiah 25).
You were not exactly sure what you were talking about in this episode 😃
We read at John chapter 17 this short passage; "(...)
babylon the great the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth.
>> "I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus" (...)
In my oppinion this can not happened in Jerusalem cause it was destroyed after John made his prophecies. And it can`t happen in futur after the rebirth of Jerusalem what means in our generation.
Today there is no place in world where "God`s holy poeple"(and "those who bore testimony to Jesus" ) are existing or get killed.
This can only happened in past time - the only possible place ( and circumstances) in this context was Rome and/or maybe Bycantine, so this prophecy of John seems to be fullfilled.
The harlot had her origins @ the Tower of Babel. Quite a pedigree of sin and destruction.
Wonder why they couldn't talk straight!
And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.
Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”
When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus’ parables, they knew he was talking about them.
For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.
Could someone kindly and humbly explain to me how these passages relate to Israel in the last days. Thank you brothers and sisters
"And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham."
Jesus was simply saying that being ethnic/genetic children of Abraham is not enough to God. They also need to have the faith of Abraham. As Paul alter said, a "true Jew" is one who is both Jewish and who also has the faith of Abraham.
"Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”
When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus’ parables, they knew he was talking about them."
This was a rebuke to Jesus' fellow countrymen and religious leaders of his day. It is not spoken to the totality of all Israel down through history. Whoever rejects Jesus will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
@@JoelRichardson thank you very much Joel, much appreciated
It is truely sooo simple. Man will not recognize. Been saying for 30 years. Thats ok. Just voiceing
The Woman in the Wilderness is a real woman. She is the second witness and the Lamb's Wife. The first witness is the Messiah, the Lamb of Judgement. Together they will call the world to repentance, prophesy and judge the nations. Zion is her prophet name. She is the Holy Spirit, Mother in heaven. The Lamb is the Spirit of the Father and his name is Emmanuel. They are future King and Queen of Israel.
You are being called to repentance for falsely prophesying out of the Book of Revelation.
Are you saying the Lamp is alive on earth
@@yvonnejohnson4816 Yes, ma'am.
mystery bablyon is vatican city, the harlot religion woman on the beast. Rev 17 very descriptive of the catholic religion, even the popes garments, and head garments. The land where they tortured etc.To get the most out of the bible, be built up in the spirit, your eyes see more.
You're saying that the woman in Revelation chapter 12 is Jerusalem or Israel. If the woman represents Israel, then who are the remnant of Israel according to the same chapter in the last verse?
Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, "which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ".
Who is the Church of Jesus Christ? Are they not the same people who have the testimony of Jesus Christ and who keep the commandments of god?
Is there any Scripture whatsoever in the Book of Revelation which indicates that a massive amount of people will repent and accept Jesus Christ as their lord and savior during Daniel 70th week?
Absolutely not!
The saints who are persecuted and who are prevailed against by the dragon during Daniel's 70th week are the Church of Jesus Christ and are the remnant of the seed of Israel.
There is no indication of a repentance. In fact, it is stated four times in the Book of Revelation that despite God having power over the plagues coming in the Earth, that men will continue to blaspheme God and will not repent.
Therefore, there is no pre-tribulation rapture. We are the saints who are persecuted and prevailed against during Daniel's 70th week and we must prepare to afflict our souls and be ready to face death while at the same time winning as many people to Christ as possible.
So who died on the cross
I think there are going to be many more gentiles. The lord looks to who sacraficed. Its all so simple. You mite miss it.
seems to me you're conflating. Israel is the Father's wife through whom the Son was begotten, the Church is the bride of Christ, the Son. The Father and Son would NOT share a bride. Also, since Jesus was the Father's BEGOTTEN son, the relationship between the father and his bride HAS BEEN consummated, however Christ has gone to prepare a place for HIS bride, the church, they are different women.
There is only One God, one wedding, one bride.
@@JoelRichardson so..who begot the child of the woman whom the dragon is waiting to devour, the child himself? And he's going to marry his mother? 1 god in 3 persons, 2 of which have wives we know of.
Since this isn't salvational, it'll simply be really interesting to see which way of reading the story turns out to have been correct in the end. Thanks for all you do and many prayers supporting you.
@@HeadRoaster We must never force metaphors beyond what they are intended to convey. For example, we are the bride of Christ, I assume you would agree? But Jesus also called the disciples his brothers. Will Jesus marry His brothers? Worse yet, we are also sons and daughters. Will Jesus marry his children? Forcing analogies or metaphors beyond what they are intended to convey always leads to silliness. Instead, we must focus on examining what the Bible says. Scripture only speaks of one wedding, one unified new people of God. The idea that there are two brides was suggested entirely to save the doctrine fo the pre-trib rapture. But it is not found in the biblical narrative.
Blessings to you!
I listened to your whole video but respectfully with love disagree,
Jerusalem is a habitation for devils and a cage for every unclean bird. She says in her heart she sits a queen and is no widow, not knowing her husband came to take the cup of the adulterous bride,(numbers 5)
Jerusalem is a Strange Woman, who’s feet abide not in her own house(proverbs 7), and has decked her bed for other lovers, she will be judged as a woman that breaks wedlock. (Ezekiel 16)
Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
In her is found the blood of the prophets and saints(Revelation 18)
That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.(Matthew 23)
Everyone who uses proverbs will use this proverb, as is the Mother so is her daughter.(Ezekiel 16)
Scripture beats this point like a dead whorse ;)
Is there another woman that sits on these 7 mountains?
1.) Egypt
2.) Assyria
3.) Babylon
4.) Medo/Persia
5.) Greece
6.) Rome
7/8.) Anti Christ
Zechariah speaks through the Spirit about a Woman that sits in the midst of the ephah, This is Wickedness! Then two women, come out and bare the ephah between the heaven and the earth, to build it a house in the place of shinar to be established in her own base. I currently believe this to be speaking of Jerusalem and her daughters, Israel and Judah. Plead with your mother! For she is not mine!
She is Of Babylon like the Pharisees were Of the devil.
Shalom brother ✌️
The woman is not JERUSALEM. The woman is the church. Israel is still in darkness. The woman is the bride washed in the blood of the lamb, the manchild are the martyrs and the remnant those alive in the grt trib. You are very wrong. 2 women in the book of revelation. The other is the body of Christ the bride.
Don't worry the term bollocks isn't that bad, it means balls. And used when you're saying something is garbage 🤣
It stills a Jewish reading of the scriptures…
In God’s kingdom who is already and is to come there’s no more jew, no more greek, no circumcised or not, no barbaric no scythe…then if you read scriptures referring to the new Jerusalem, a particular viewpoint doesn’t fitt
It all started with the prophecy that YHWH said in Genesis 3:15.
*There will be a long enmity between the serpent and the Woman, between the seed of the serpent and the seed of the Woman.*
The Dragon is the first serpent that is the Devil. (Revelation 12:9)
The devil is the ruler of the world. (1 John 5:19)
Beasts are the seeds of the serpent, be it the 4 beasts mentioned in Daniel 7 , 2 beasts in Revelation 13 and 1 beast in Revelation 17.
The Seed of the Woman is God's Chosen People.
There is a great mystery about who the two great empires after Babylon, Medo-Persia, Macedonian/Greek and Roman symbolized as Parts of feet made of *Iron & Clay* is written in Daniel chapter 2.
Jesus revealed the 2 great Empires through prophecy in the 13th chapter of the Book of Revelation.
The beast is generally used as a national symbol by many countries.
In Revelation 13 John prophesies about superpower countries after the Roman Empire that the devil uses to make war with the remnant of the women's seed (Rev 12:17).
*The First Beast coming out of The Sea (Rev 13:1) It means The Beast just walks on the land.This country is on an island in the ocean.*
The Kingdom of the British Isles in the North Atlantic Ocean was formerly a province of the Roman Empire. The Anglo Saxons with their 7 main kingdoms (the Heptarchy) were the forerunners of the present-day British empire. Since the Kingdoms were united by William the conqueror of Normandy, this beast symbol has been used until now by 10 dynasties that once ruled in England (House of Normandy to House of Windsor).
*The beast resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion.(Rev 13:2). It was Lion Passant Guardant.*
The three lions passant guardant in pale or armed and langued azure, signifying three identical gold lions (also known as leopards) with blue tongues and claws, walking past but facing the observer, arranged in a column on a red background. Although the tincture azure of tongue and claws is not cited in many blazons, they are historically a distinguishing feature of the arms of England.
*One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed (Rev 13: 3).*
The civil war that occurred in England resulted in the defeat of the British monarchy and made England a commonwealth country where the British monarchy was no longer in power, but the British monarchy came back in power after that.
*The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months (Rev 13: 5)*
Conscription during the First World War began when the British government passed the Military Service Act in January 1916. Conscription lasted until mid-1919.
*and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.(Rev 13:7)*
The British Empire was once the ruler of the world and had a territory of 1/5 of the earth's area and controlled 1/4 of the earth's population.
*The Second Beast coming out of the earth (Rev 13:11) It means The Beast can Fly like a bird and This country is on a continent.* The Second Continental Congress selected the Bald Eagle as the U. S. National Symbol on June 20, 1782.
*It had two horns like a lamb (Rev 13:11) = short-lived two-party system alternately sovereign.*
*And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him. (Rev 13:12)*
The United States is the successor of the British Empire in exercising power as the world's police.
*Causing fire to come down from heaven (Rev 13:13) = Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.* (No country other than the U.S. has ever dropped fire from the sky so intensely and because of that other countries have become afraid.)
*The Image of The First Beast (Rev 13:14,15) = NATO* (see how NATO was formed and how the U.S helped NATO members who were injured after the World War according to the Marshall Plan)
*The mark on their right hand or on their forehead (Revelation 13:16)=It means a dedication.* The mark of the beast is on the sleeves or hats of military uniforms. The U.S. always enforces military service when in a state of war. The United States abolished the military service in 1975, but all male citizens aged 18-25 are required to register with the U.S. Selective Service System to facilitate reinstatement if necessary.
*They could not buy or sell unless they had the mark (Rev 13:17)*
There is a penalty for refusing Military Service or The Draft imposed by the U.S. government through the Selective Service System, which is 5 years in prison. Those who were imprisoned certainly could not sell or buy. If any American man does not register with the Selective Service System, he can be sentenced to life in prison. For example, men who don't register can't receive federal financial aid, and they can't work for the federal government.
(See the seal of the Selective Service System) American men who have registered in The Draft will receive these marks when WW3 occurs and those who refuse will be imprisoned.
*666 read SixSixSix abbreviated as SSS is an abbreviation of one of the divisions of the United States government, namely the Selective Service System.*
You will find SSS written on the Selective Service System seal.
Revelation 13
_4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and _*_they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?_*
That's how to worship the beast. It's all about beeing the Army and joint the war.
_9 If any man have an ear, let him hear._
*_10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword._*_ Here is the patience and the faith of the saints._
At the time of the war the beast will impose military service and will imprison anyone who refuses. For the saints (The remnant of the women's seed) who obeyed Jesus' command not to kill & keep love their neighbor, they would rather go to prison than go to war. To be in the army and to go to war is to receive the mark of the beast.
*_The Beasts in Revelation chapter 13 is the fulfillment of the last 2 great kingdoms of Daniel chapters 2 & 7 before the Kingdom of God comes_*
*The beast that came out of the sea in Revelation 13:1,2 was "The Part of feet made of Iron" & "The three horns that fell in Daniel 2:33 & Daniel 7:8,20,24" refers to U.K.*
Iron & Other Metals means monarchy.
See the picture of:
*_THE ROYAL ARMS OF ENGLAND_*
In Heraldry it was the leopard that John saw with long claws like a bear that could not be tucked away and had the mouth of a lion.
*The beast that came out of the earth in Revelation 13:11-18 was "The Part of feet made of Clay" & "the little horn that grew big and had eyes and mouth" refers to U.S.A.*
Clay means republic.
See the picture of:
*_THE GREAT SEAL OF U.S._*
In John's vision what is seen is the obverse of The great seal of US, while Daniel sees the reverse of The great seal of US.
The Mark of The Beast:
*_Seal of the Selective Service System_*
SSS = SixSixSix = 666
There is one more country (The beast) that will appear after UK and USA. This beast came out of the abyss.
Revelation 11
_7 Now when they have finished their testimony, _*_the beast that comes up from the Abyss (State of Israel)_*_ will attack them, and overpower and kill them._
_8 Their bodies will lie in the public square of _*_the great city (Jerusalem)_*_ which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt _*_where also their Lord (Jesus) was crucified._*
Revelation 17
_8 The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and yet _*_will come up out of the Abyss (State of Israel)_*_ and go to its destruction.The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because _*_it once was, now is not, and yet will come._*
The only sovereign state in the world that once existed then fell and after a long time returned to sovereignty in the same territory and with the same name is *Israel.*
_____________________________
The Mystery of Babylon the Great is a prophecy for the Earthly Jerusalem. They have made all the inhabitants of the earth drunk by their religious doctrines. Jerusalem became rich because of the trade of pilgrims from all over the world. Jerusalem is called the mother of harlots because she was the first harlot (Ezekiel 16).
The term *The great city* in the book of revelation always refers to the earthly city of Jerusalem.
Revelation 17
_18 And the woman which thou sawest _*_is that great city,_*_ which reigneth over the kings of the earth._
Revelation 16
_19 And _*_the great city was divided into three parts,_*_ and the cities of the nations fell: _*_and great Babylon came in remembrance before God,_*_ to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath._
Now the city of Jerusalem has been divided into the holy city of three religions. Judaism, Islam and Christianity. Just as Babylon was once a holy city of many religions so is Jerusalem today, that is why God remembered Jerusalem as Babylon when the city was divided into three parts.
The scarlet beast that carrieth the women was the State of Israel. This beast came out of the abyss. (Revelation 11:7 & 17:8)
Scarlet color means full of sin. (Isaiah 1:18)
The State of Israel is the only country in the world that once existed and then disappeared and came back as a state. (Revelation 17:8,11)
Revelation 17
_9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman _*_(Jerusalem)_*_ sitteth._
_10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen _*_(The Kingdom of Israel, Assyrian, Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Greece)_* _and one is _*_(Roman Empire)_* _, and the other is not yet come _*_(Arab Kingdoms);_*_ and when he cometh, he must continue a short space._
_11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven _*_(The State of Israel),_*_ and goeth into perdition._
_12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; _*_(the Rashidun Caliphs, Umayyads, Abbasids, Fatimids, Seljuks, Crusaders, Ayyubids, the Mamluk sultans of Egypt, the Ottoman Empire, the British.)_*_ but receive power as kings one hour with the beast._
Because there will be a new Jerusalem coming down from heaven, Jerusalem which is on earth full of false worship must be destroyed. After Jerusalem on earth is completely destroyed, that is a sign of Christ's coming to pick up his chosen 144,000 people to rule with him in the new Jerusalem in heaven by resurrecting them in the first resurrection. (Revelation 20:4-6)
The temple of God has been trampled by the Muslims and used to worship the unknown god, the Jews worship the walls and the Christians worship the graves.
The sins of Earthly Jerusalem have piled up as high as the sky.(Rev 18:5)
Revelation 18
_4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say:_
*_“‘Come out of her, my people,_*
_so that you will not share in her sins,_
_so that you will not receive any of her plagues;_
@SixthSealRapture
John 4
_21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain _*_nor in Jerusalem._*
This is how Babylon the great (earthly Jerusalem) will be destroyed:
Revelation 18 (NIV)
_2 With a mighty voice he shouted:_
_“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’_
*_She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit,_*
_a haunt for every unclean bird,_
_a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal._
_21 Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said:_
*_“With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down,_*
*_never to be found again._*
_22 The music of harpists and musicians, pipers and trumpeters,_
*_will never be heard in you again._*
_No worker of any trade_
*_will ever be found in you again._*
_The sound of a millstone_
*_will never be heard in you again._*
*_23 The light of a lampwill never shine in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again._*_ Your merchants were the world’s important people. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray._
_24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of God’s holy people, of all who have been slaughtered on the earth.”_
No more humans will be able to live in that City. The only way a city can be destroyed to make it uninhabitable is by dropping a nuclear bomb.
Just as the city of Babylon was destroyed by Cyrus the Persian, so Babylon the great (Jerusalem) will be destroyed by Iran.
You don't have to believe this now, believe it when all this happens. This is what the two witnesses will say when they come to Jerusalem. (Revelation 11)
