00:01:27Amen. All right. Praise the Lord. Amen. Okay. Good to see you guys. Praise God.

00:01:43Okay. Okay. So, in the world right now,

00:02:13we are seeing more signs of end time things that are happening. We are seeing, of course,

00:02:26the emergence of digital currency, which is going to take place by next year. We're looking at Russia

00:02:34and their power in the world and the wars that are taking place. And we see that the earth is in labor

00:02:43pains. And the labor pains. And the labor pains are going to produce a child. And that child is the church

00:02:51out of the world. We cannot deny the fact that we are seeing great labor pains. And once a woman goes

00:03:03into labor, there is nothing you can do to stop the baby from coming. Okay. So, um, the Lord is saying,

00:03:12be ready, watch, meaning pay attention to what's going on in the world. Okay. Watch what's going on.

00:03:25When you see a man that everybody in Israel loves and they, they want to build a statue. I don't know if

00:03:32they already built the statue for him, but they want to build a statue for him. And they're calling

00:03:36him the great Osiris and saying that he's going to help them be rebuild the temple. And, and he's,

00:03:44he's going to be great. That man is, is lining himself up to do everything that the Bible is saying

00:03:51he's going to do. And so right now we are living so close to those last days. And the most important

00:03:59thing to God is not politics, not the Illuminati's going crazy, which they are, but we don't care

00:04:08because God's greatest concern is what? That you're ready to leave. Okay. Long as he can snatch you out

00:04:18before they go crazy, he's happy. You understand, but they are going to go crazy and we need to know

00:04:25this. Okay. And he wants the whole world to know this so that everybody will take their salvation

00:04:32serious. Okay. Reading the Bible is a serious thing you need to do. Why? It helps you to grow in Christ

00:04:42and keeps you from backsliding into the world. You understand? Praying is important so that you stay

00:04:49in communication with God and knowing what he wants and what he doesn't want. All of these things are

00:04:55very important. It's as important as me saying, when you're driving on the freeway, make sure you're on

00:05:03the right side of the road. That's that, is that pretty important? That's pretty important. Why? The other

00:05:10side could get you killed. That's what I'm trying to say. Live your life as if it is very important for

00:05:18you to stay in Christ. Okay. Um, I'm going to go to the book of Luke chapter 16, uh, because the Lord

00:05:31said, this is where I want you to start. Um,

00:05:53now I want you to imagine that you're walking down the street during Jesus times and you hear all these

00:06:00wonderful things about Jesus. And he's healing people. He's feeding people. He's doing great

00:06:09things for the poor and you, and you and your friends are hanging out and you see Jesus and you

00:06:17say, Hey, let's go over there and see what he's talking about. See, see what type of wonderful thing

00:06:24he's doing today. And then if you're in Luke chapter 16, verse 19, you get there. And Jesus says,

00:06:34there was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day.

00:06:43And his gate was a beggar named Lazarus covered with sores, longing to eat what fell from the rich

00:06:50man's table. Even the dogs came and licked the sores. The time came when the beggar died and the

00:06:58angel carried him to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried in hell where he was in

00:07:07torment. He looked up and saw Abraham far away with Lazarus at his side. Um, and he called out,

00:07:17uh, he called to the father, father, Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip his finger

00:07:24in the water and cool my tongue. Cause I am in agony in the flames. But Abraham replied,

00:07:33remember that in your life, you received, uh, your good things while Lazarus receives bad things,

00:07:41but now he is comforted, um, here and you are in agony. And besides this between us and you is a great

00:07:53chasm has been fixed so that those who want to go from here, um, from here to you cannot. And those who

00:08:04want to come from where you're at to our side cannot. Okay. He says, he answered, then I beg you,

00:08:11father, send Lazarus to my father's house. Uh, for I have five brothers, let him warn them so that they

00:08:21will not also come to this place of torment. Abraham, uh, Abraham replied, they have Moses and the prophets

00:08:32and pastor Ben. No, that's not there. Um, let them listen to them. And it says, no, father, Abraham.

00:08:42He said, but if someone from the dead goes to tell them, they will repent. He said to them,

00:08:50even if they do not, if they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced.

00:08:58Even if someone rises from the dead. Okay. So now you just got to hear Jesus speak for the first time

00:09:08and you said, wow, that wasn't as loving as we thought. That was kind of straightforward.

00:09:17Well, this is the, the, the important thing of telling people to read your Bible,

00:09:22study your word, study your word, walk out your salvation because there's two sides of this.

00:09:28You understand? And once you forget about that, there is another side. I, I think about salvation

00:09:36and heaven and the wedding feast and, and, and, and all of this and the thousand year millennium and

00:09:42traveling with my friends and laughter and all of this. That's what I think about, but I cannot forget

00:09:48about if a person does not want Jesus in their life or if a person does not want to study their Bible,

00:09:56these type of people, God had to create a place for them. You understand? Now, do you guys realize

00:10:05this? Hell has not always existed. You guys know that, right? Matter of fact, earth existed before hell.

00:10:15Hell was created when God solved the continuous rebellion of angels and the continuous rebellion of

00:10:27humans. Then Enoch walked with God and God created hell in front of Enoch. If you read the book of

00:10:37Enoch, you'll see God showed him a place that he has now created. And he says, there was no bottom.

00:10:47And he says, um, it was dark. He says the darkness that you could feel. And he says, there was flames

00:10:55up top and flames at the bottom and the torment there was great. And he asked God, what is this place?

00:11:03Enoch asked God. And he said, this is the place for those who have rejected the, the, the, the, the,

00:11:11the instructions of God. Okay. So let's not get to the idea that if you go to church, you become a good

00:11:21person. And if you don't go to church, you, you become a bad person and you don't get blessed.

00:11:27It goes way beyond that. It goes way beyond that. It's to the point where you're telling people,

00:11:35save your life by making Jesus important in your life. Okay. So let me, uh, get to this portion.

00:11:46Uh, if you have your Bible, I want you to go to the book of Zechariah chapter six,

00:11:58verse 10.

00:12:01So the Lord came and he spoke these words. He says, take them of the captivity of Heldah and

00:12:23Tobijah and Jedeiah, um, uh, which are come from Babylon and come through the same day and go into

00:12:33the house of Josiah and Zephaniah. Okay. Um, let me continue.

00:12:38Okay. Okay. It says, then take silver and gold and make crowns. Why is he making crowns out of

00:12:55silver and gold? Silver is for blood. It's the, it's the, it's the metal for redemption of

00:13:03redeeming the soul. Whenever silver was sold, that means that, that, um, blood had been spilled.

00:13:10Okay. So when Jesus blood was, was, was, was spilled that represented silver. Okay. So it says,

00:13:18make the, it says, take the silver and the gold and make crowns because gold is for royalty or

00:13:25kingship. So it says, take the silver gold and make crowns, set them upon the head of Joshua,

00:13:31the son of, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, Jessica. I mean, uh, uh, uh, uh, Josedek or Hosedek, um, the high

00:13:40priest. Okay. And speak unto them saying, thus says the Lord of hosts saying, behold, the man

00:13:51whose name is the branch and he shall grow up out of his place and he shall build a temple.

00:14:01Even he shall build the temple of the Lord and he shall bear the glory and, and shall sit and rule

00:14:12upon his throne. And he shall be a priest upon his throne and the council of peace shall be between

00:14:21them both. That means he's going to be both a King and a high priest. The crowns shall be for

00:14:29Halem, for Tobiah, for Jodeiah, for Hinn, the son of Zephaniah for a memorial for the temple of the

00:14:38Lord. Okay. And it says, and they that are, that are far off shall come and build the temple of the

00:14:46Lord and shall, and you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent me unto you. And this shall come to

00:14:54the past. If you will diligently obey the voice of the Lord. Okay. So he's saying,

00:15:03if you want to be, see this and be a part of this great blessing, you will see it. If you obey the Lord.

00:15:13Now the chapter that I, that I just read, most people aren't going to understand everything,

00:15:21what he's saying. Okay. But let's make one part simple. He's saying a man is coming who is called

00:15:29the branch. Okay. And he says, and that branch, he's going to spring up into the world. Now, if you

00:15:37look at the board, branch times, what is the six in Hebrew? Salvation. So the branch times salvation

00:15:47equals Jesus, 888. Okay. So when he's telling you a man is going to come and his name is called the

00:15:56branch, he is Jesus, the 888, the one who brings salvation. If you listen to him and obey him,

00:16:05you will get to experience all of this glory that he's talking about. Cause that branch is going to

00:16:13come back into the world. He's going to rebuild the temple of God in Jerusalem. Because remember the

00:16:21Antichrist is going to go in there and then God is going to come and he's going to bring destruction.

00:16:28The temple will be mostly destroyed. Jesus will rebuild God's fallen tabernacle.

00:16:35And he says, if you are obedient to him, you will get to see all of this. A matter of fact,

00:16:42it says some people from far countries will come and help with the building of the tabernacle,

00:16:48which Jesus is about to sit on and reign and rule over all mankind for a thousand years. He says,

00:16:57if you obey God, you'll get to be a part of this thousand year millennium and enjoy the presence of

00:17:04Jesus reigning and ruling over the earth for a thousand years. Now, what that all includes for

00:17:13us is greatness. Okay. Because Psalm says, when he reigns and rules over the earth, he says,

00:17:21I will reign and rule among the rich. And so understand what he's saying that everybody on earth

00:17:29that has come through this will be rich. Meaning that you will have no lack of anything. You'll be

00:17:36able to travel when you want. You'll be able to do what you want. There'll be no days that you're

00:17:41wondering what you're going to eat. He's saying you're going to live and it uses the word fat.

00:17:47But that's like a ghetto slang word for like wealthy, right? So you're going to live in wealth with

00:17:58Christ for the thousand years. God is promising that to people who obey him. Okay. But now he's saying

00:18:09here in this verse, in verse 10, he says, take of them the captivity. So the word captivity is to means

00:18:19to take out, take out from Babylon, these people who I want to save. Okay. Or taking captivity captive.

00:18:29Okay. Now I'm going to read Ephesians chapter four, verse eight and nine.

00:18:44And it says, wherefore he said, when he ascended on high, talking about Jesus, he led captivity captive

00:18:52and gave gifts unto men. Now that he ascended, what is it that he also descended first into the lower

00:19:04parts of the earth? So did Jesus ascend up into heaven? Yes. Before he went up, they said he descended.

00:19:14Why did he descend? Why did he go? He did not go like Benny Hinn tells you. He did not

00:19:22go down to hell so that he could be punished. So he could go through our punishment. No,

00:19:29he did not go down to hell so that he can pay the penalty for our sins. No, that's not why he went

00:19:36down. The matter of fact, the scripture says, when he went down, he says he led captivity captive. But

00:19:43what did he do first? He said he, he, he, uh, took back the keys of life and death and made an open

00:19:49display of them all. So he, he, he ripped them and then took back the keys. And then he ascended.

00:19:58You understand? But he says, while he was there, he led captivity captive. Who was, who was held in

00:20:06captivity before Jesus died? Was heaven open to mankind? No. So what happened to you when you die?

00:20:15He doesn't even come into the earth till what? 4,000 years. What happened to all the good people

00:20:20who die? And, um, and they, uh, they, they can't go to heaven because the doors haven't been opened

00:20:26and the door hasn't come into the world. But once people died, then they went to a place called

00:20:33Abraham's bosom and they stayed there with Abraham in, in the middle of the earth. Now, did you just hear

00:20:42the part, the portion about the rich man? He saw Lazarus drinking a nice Pepsi or whatever, or,

00:20:51or, or Sprite, right? And, and he's like, Hey, so he's like, tell him to bring me a dip of water

00:21:01and come over here and cool my tongue. And he says, nobody from here can go there. And nobody from

00:21:11there can come over here. So you're getting what you're getting. You're getting flames and torment.

00:21:18And over here we have water and relaxation as we sit in, in, in, in Abraham's Buddhism.

00:21:24Okay. So this is what was going on when Jesus died on the cross before he ascended. It says he

00:21:35descended. Why? Who's waiting for him? I'm going to read something for you guys. Let me see.

00:21:43Okay. Listen to this. This is from the apocryphal book, the Ezra's two. And it says, um, it says

00:21:58he answered and said to me, do, and I'm going to tell you it's in a, in case you have an apocryphal,

00:22:05chapter four of Ezra's two. And we're beginning to read here in, um, verse 33. Then I answered

00:22:16and said, how long, uh, when will, and when will these things be? Why are our years so few?

00:22:25And he answered me, do not be in a rush. Okay. Um, do not be in a rush.

00:22:35Uh, faster or, or, or, or, or be in a rush more than the most high for, uh, you are in a rush

00:22:44for yourselves, but the most high is taking his time for many. So he says the people that were

00:22:54waiting in paradise in, in the middle of the earth, they knew they weren't in heaven.

00:22:59Amen. They said, why do we have to wait here? How long was it going to be? And he says, and he says

00:23:09that don't be in such a rush because you're in a rush for yourself. You want out of here,

00:23:17even though you can drink all the Sprite you want, you want out of here and you want to go

00:23:23because you know that heaven exists, but he says, don't be in such a rush. You're okay.

00:23:32God is taking his time because he's thinking about many. Okay. And it's the same way we are.

00:23:41Let's have the rapture happen. Now last week would have been good for us, but four people got saved

00:23:47this week. You understand? And so God is saying, I'm taking my time for the many. You're in a rush

00:23:55for yourself. Don't be like that. You understand? You can, you can hope for it and want it to come,

00:24:03but you can't be upset because it doesn't come because you got to realize that God's concerns are

00:24:09a little higher than yours. Okay. So let me finish reading again. It says, uh, it says, um, did not the

00:24:20souls of the righteous in their chambers ask about these matters? How long are we to remain here?

00:24:28And when will, uh, uh, come the harvest of our reward? They were waiting for the barley harvest.

00:24:37And it says, and, uh, uh, and Gerald and, and Gerald Mel, the archangel answered them and said,

00:24:44when the number of those like yourself is complete for he has weighed the ages in balance and measured

00:24:53the time and measured the number, uh, uh, uh, the time by number, and he will not move or arouse them

00:25:02until the measure is fulfilled. So God is saying what I'm not going to do anything until it, everything

00:25:12has been fulfilled. Okay. I'm not moving slow. I'm moving in compassion for the rest of the souls

00:25:23to be able to come into eternal life. Let me see if I was. Okay. I'm agree. Read verse 40.

00:25:33So the angel said to them, uh, um, you said, then I answered, Oh, sovereign Lord, but of all of us

00:25:43also are full of ungodliness. And it is perhaps on the account of us that the time of threshing

00:25:57delays for the righteous on account of the sins of those who dwell on the earth. So God wants them to

00:26:06know, you're not holding back God, you know, cause people want to say, well, you know, uh, it's because

00:26:15of this is happening and that's it. He said, you're not holding back God. The time has already been

00:26:20measured. Okay. So he says this, he says, he answered me, go and ask the woman who is with child.

00:26:29When her nine months have been complete, her womb cannot keep the child within her any longer.

00:26:38And I said, no, Lord, it cannot. And he said in Hades, the chambers of the soul are like the wound.

00:26:47Okay. Cause when he says in Hades, he's talking about the middle of the earth where all the righteous

00:26:52people are in Abraham's foot, he says that chamber is just like a woman's stomach. Okay. When the time

00:27:00to give birth come, nothing's going to be able to stop it. So what happened in Matthew chapter 27?

00:27:08Let's go there. Matthew chapter 27, verse 50. And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice,

00:27:28he gave up his spirit. At that moment, the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

00:27:38The earth shook and rocks split. Now, what does it mean that the curtain split? Why was the curtain

00:27:45torn in half? What did you have to do before Jesus came and died on the cross? What did you have to do

00:27:55if you sinned against God and you want to talk to God? You have to go to the priest and the priest was

00:28:03behind the holy place, which had a veil. You had to lay your offering at the front of the veil because

00:28:12you couldn't go behind it to talk to God. Only the priest could take your offering to God. Now you

00:28:19would take your offering, then you'd be forgiven for your sins. So this is what the Catholic church

00:28:26has done. They put the veil back up. They said, now, if you want to be forgiven for your sins,

00:28:34you got to go behind the curtain and talk to the priest and then confess to him your sins,

00:28:40then God will forgive you. So you can see what an insult that is to somebody who just died on the cross

00:28:48to have this done. So this is what is going on. So Jesus, he dies on the cross and he says here,

00:28:56and it says, um, the earth, it says, uh, um, at that moment, the curtain of the temple was torn into

00:29:03from top to bottom. Why? Because Jesus just died on the cross. The earth shook and rocks split.

00:29:11The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.

00:29:23They came out of the tomb after Jesus' resurrection. They went into the holy city and appeared before

00:29:34many. In what holy city? The heavenly Jerusalem. Okay. So this was what they had been waiting for.

00:29:45The Lord was trying to talk to me about this this morning. He said, we're all in the same position.

00:29:52They were asking the same questions we're asking now. Is it going to be on Rosh Hashanah? Is it going

00:29:59to be a tap or knackles? When is it going to be Lord? And he says, slow down. When the baby is ready

00:30:07to come, it's going to come. You can't speed it up, but when it gets to the nine months, nothing will

00:30:15be able to stop it. You understand? It does not say don't watch. It does not say don't be in anticipation

00:30:24and great hope. It wants you to be in anticipation and great hope. But what it wants, what he wants

00:30:31you to also understand is this. If it doesn't happen when you want it to happen, you don't

00:30:37go, I'm going back into the world. Get your thumb out of your mouth, get into your Bible and

00:30:48start growing in Christ more. Yes, it's the greatest moment for us, but it is not something

00:30:57that's supposed to guide our walk with Christ. Rather, we're going to be joyful or not. No

00:31:04one who was sitting in Abraham's bosom should have been sad on any day. You know why? They

00:31:10can always go to the edge and go, whoa, they don't have any Sprite. They could always do

00:31:19that. And you, as the body of Christ, you know that this place exists. Hell exists. And because

00:31:31it exists, and you know you're on your way to the kingdom, you can always go, man, if the

00:31:39rapture hasn't happened, at least I know I'm on the right side. Okay? Now, I'm going to tell you

00:31:48guys a true story of someone that I met. His name was Daniel Hood. You guys have heard this story

00:32:02many times. Daniel Hood confirmed to me this. Have anybody ever read this, divine revelation

00:32:11of hell? Okay. Daniel confirmed this to me. Daniel had never seen it, but I let him read

00:32:20it. And he said, whoever wrote this has really been there. I said, how do you know? He took

00:32:31his shoe off. I said, why is the guy taking his shoe off? I just asked you a question to

00:32:36tell me he's taking his shoe off. His foot has a hole in it about the size of a half a dollar

00:32:46bill. He said, that's where the last bullet went that hit me when I got shot. He said,

00:32:53went through my foot, through my side and hit my spine. And that's how I got parallel because

00:33:00he was in a wheelchair. He said, when I got shot, he kicked me out of the party. I went

00:33:07outside. I got shot. He said, when I died, I went to the hospital and they pronounced me

00:33:13dead. They put a tag on my toe and they pushed me inside of the thing. And my mom and my grandmother

00:33:21came to visit me. And he said, they had pronounced me dead. The next day they pulled him out of

00:33:28the, the, the, the, the cooler. And they, they said, call his mother. This guy has a pulse.

00:33:37So they pulled him out. Daniel, when his parents get there, Daniel is sitting up drinking orange

00:33:46juice. He said, Daniel, did you, you, you died last night? He says, I know. He said,

00:33:55did you go into the light to see God? No, I went to a dark tunnel. He says, when you were

00:34:02in the tunnel, what just, he says, there was these demons against, uh, faces that was against

00:34:09the walls and they were pressing into the walls while I'm being escalated through the tunnels.

00:34:13But I could see, I could smell, I could, all my senses were working fully. And he says,

00:34:21at the end of the tunnels, I saw flames. And he said, and something grabbed me and I thumped

00:34:27back into my body. Now, I had read this, but I had never, I, this was before I read this before

00:34:36I, I, I talked to Daniel. He read it and was absolutely shocked. He said, whoever wrote

00:34:45this read it. My mother met this lady. She used to write it out by hand and she would hand

00:34:53it to people all day to tell them, don't go to hell. Jesus loves you. When my mother saw

00:35:00the book, she went and got the handwritten copy that someone took to a copy machine and

00:35:07made copies of. And she said, I met that lady. She was always preaching about Jesus. Okay.

00:35:16So now I'm going to just read a little bit. Okay. Just a small portions. And, and on the first

00:35:25chapter says, it says, uh, my child, I will take you into hell by my spirit and show you

00:35:33many things. The world, uh, the world needs to know. I will appear to you many times. I

00:35:40will take your spirit out of your body and will actually take you into hell. I want you

00:35:46to write the book and tell of the visions of the things I revealed to you. You and I will

00:35:54walk through hell together. Make a record of these things, which, which were and are and

00:36:03are to come. My words are true, faithful and trustworthy. I am that I am. There is none

00:36:09beside me. Dear Lord, I cried out, what do you want me to do? My whole being wanted to cry

00:36:16out to Jesus to acknowledge his presence. The best I can describe is to say that love came

00:36:23over me and it was the most beautiful, peaceful, joyful, and powerful love I had ever felt.

00:36:31Okay. Next portion.

00:36:37Jesus said, these are the gateways to hell.

00:36:43That's somebody with a car that just backed into that.

00:36:45Yeah. It says, uh, we will go into hell through one of them, through one of them. So now they're

00:36:54going to go through one of the portals into hell. Immediately. He entered one of the portals

00:37:00inside. It looked like a tunnel spinning around and around back, back again, like a top, a dark,

00:37:10a deep, dark descend, descended upon us. And with the darkness came a smell so horrible. It took my breath

00:37:19away. Along the side of the tunnel were living forms embedded into the wall. Dark gray in color,

00:37:29the forms moved and cried out to us as we passed. And I knew without being told that they were evil.

00:37:41Now, this is when Daniel said, now I know she was really there because as I was going through the

00:37:49tunnel, the demon faces were inside the walls, pushing out and screaming at us. Okay. So,

00:37:58um, the forms moved, but we're still attached to the wall. A horrible smell came from them and they

00:38:06screeched at us with most awful cries. I felt, uh, uh, um, an invisible evil force moving inside the

00:38:17tunnel. At times in, in the darkness, I could make out the form. A dark fog covered most of them.

00:38:25Lord, what are these? I asked, uh, I asked, uh, he says, I asked, as I held tightly to Jesus' hand.

00:38:34He said, these are evil spirits ready to be spewed onto the earth when Satan gives them the orders.

00:38:44As we were going down inside the tunnel, the evil form laughed and called out to us.

00:38:51They tried to touch us, but could not because of the power of Jesus. The very air was polluted and dirty

00:39:00and only the presence of Jesus kept me from screaming in sheer horror. Oh yes. I had all my senses. I could

00:39:10hear, smell, see, feel, even taste the evil in the place. If any, if anything, my senses became more

00:39:21sensitive, my, my senses became more sensitive and the odor felt almost, uh, uh, uh, uh, the odor

00:39:29almost made me sick. Screams filled the air as we came near to the tunnel. Okay. I came through the

00:39:38tunnel. I want to read this last portion and then we'll be done. Jesus said to me, we will soon enter

00:39:44the left leg of hell. Ahead, you will see great horrors, pathetic sadness, indescribable horrors.

00:39:53Stay close to me and I will give you the strength and protection as we go through hell. The things you

00:40:01are about to see are a warning. He said, the book you write, um, will save many people from hell.

00:40:11What you are seeing is real. Fear not. I will be with you. As long, as long, at long last, the Lord

00:40:21Jesus and I were in the bottom of the, of the tunnel. We stepped out into hell and I will try

00:40:28the best of my ability to tell you what I saw. I will tell you in the order God gave it to me.

00:40:35Ahead of us, as far as I could see, were flying objects darting here and there, groaning, sounds,

00:40:44pitiful cries, full of, uh, filled the air. Up ahead, I saw a dim light and we began walking toward it.

00:40:54The path was dry and, and powdery, uh, dust. We were going to the entrance of the dark tunnel.

00:41:02Some things I cannot put on paper. They were too awful to describe. The fear in hell could be tasted.

00:41:12I knew it. I had not been, uh, uh, I had not been with Jesus. If I had not been with Jesus,

00:41:20I would have not, uh, uh, uh, been able to make it back in the, in this, in the writing of this,

00:41:27some of these things I saw, I did not understand, but the Lord, uh, but the Lord, but, uh, said the

00:41:35Lord knows all these things. He helped me to understand what I saw. Let me warn you, don't

00:41:42go to that place. It is hard place of torment, excruciating pain, eternal sorrow. Your soul will

00:41:51always be alive. Your soul will always be alive. The soul lives forever. It is real. Uh, it is the

00:42:01real you and your soul will be either in heaven or in hell. And that's the last part I'm going to read.

00:42:09Okay. Why do I want us to know that? Because we're on the other side. We're waiting for Christ

00:42:21to come and lead captivity captive, meaning for Christ to come. And the word for the captives

00:42:28means is to take us out, to remove us from here. We're waiting for Christ to lead captivity captive

00:42:36because for God, those people who are in Hades, but they were righteous people. And they were, even

00:42:43though we're on the good side, God knew there's better for you. And really you're captive there

00:42:49because there's a better life for you. God knows for each and every one of us who's in Christ,

00:42:56we're in here in earth. And rather you're having a wonderful life or not, you're breathing, you're

00:43:02eating, maybe the bills are getting too high or whatever, but you need to know something.

00:43:08You're in captivity here. You're not where you're going to be or where you're supposed to be,

00:43:14but Jesus is coming to lead captivity captive. You understand? Okay.

00:43:28Psalms chapter 68, verse 17. It says the chariots of God are 20,000, even thousands of angels.

00:43:39The Lord is among them as in Sinai in the holy place. Listen, the Lord is coming to take captivity

00:43:51captive. Okay. But listen, it says when he comes, he says, it's going to be like the day of Sinai.

00:44:01What happened at the day of Sinai? It was a marriage. So he's talking about a future time

00:44:08that he's going to come and lead captivity captive. Just the same way he took them out. He's coming to

00:44:16take you out. Okay. And it says the chariots of God are 20,000, even thousands of angels. The Lord

00:44:23is among them as in Sinai in the holy place. Thou has ascended on high. Thou has led captivity captive

00:44:32and has received gifts for men. Yea, for the rebellious also that the Lord might dwell among them.

00:44:43Blessed be the Lord who daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our salvation, Selah.

00:44:52So now, understanding this, what is the day of Sinai? What happened on the day of Sinai?

00:45:08I'm asking, should I read it or should I speak on it? Okay. I'm going to speak on it.

00:45:16The Lord said to the children of Israel in Exodus chapter 19, Moses, go and tell the people,

00:45:27these are my 10 commandments. If they agree that they'll keep the 10 commandments, I will come back

00:45:33on the third day and will descend down and marry them with this covenant. So all the children of

00:45:40Israel said, we will do what the Lord said. They made a commitment to marry God. So God said on the

00:45:49third day, I'm going to come down and I'm going to marry you. So come to Mount Sinai, wait at the base

00:45:57of the, do not try to go up until you hear the trumpet blow. So they're all waiting at the base.

00:46:05They're not supposed to touch the mountain or anything. Just wait there and the Lord. And then

00:46:11on the third day, the Lord descended down to Mount Sinai. The mountain began to shake. Smoke bellowed up

00:46:20from the earth, earthquakes, lightning and everything. This was the marriage day of Israel. No, thank you.

00:46:29Because that's a scary wedding day. Right. But this is how Israel married God. Okay. He came down to

00:46:40Sinai and he married them. He's saying now when I leave captivity captive, it's going to be just like

00:46:49it was at Sinai. Okay. Now I cannot do this. So I'm going to go to Hebrews chapter 12, verse 18.

00:47:06And it says, you talking to the church, you have not come to a mountain that can be touched,

00:47:14that is burning with fire and darkness and gloom and storms to a trumpet blast or such a voice speaking

00:47:24words that, that those who heard it beg that no further words be spoken to them because they could

00:47:33not bear, um, uh, uh, what was commanded. If even an animal touched the mountain, it must be stoned.

00:47:42The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, said, I am trembling with fear.

00:47:51He says, but you, your wedding is different. You have come to Mount Zion to the heavenly Jerusalem.

00:48:00So when captivity is taken captive out of the earth, where are you going?

00:48:06Heavenly Jerusalem, your wedding is going to happen, but not on Mount Sinai.

00:48:12It's going to happen in heaven. And so he says this,

00:48:19but you have come to Mount, uh, to Mount Zion in heavenly Jerusalem, a city, the city of the living

00:48:27God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly to the church of the

00:48:35firstborn whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the judge of all men, to the spirit of

00:48:43righteous men made perfect, to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, um, and to sprinkle the blood that

00:48:52speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.

00:48:55What is Abel in Hebrew 24, 24 times 37? The Trinity is God 888. So he said, it's going to be a better

00:49:07testimony than Abel had. This is going to be Jesus testimony. And he says, the Lord has 20,000 chariots and

00:49:16thousands upon thousands of angels. What are you about to enter into? I'm going to tell you the

00:49:22problem with pastor Sandy and church and, and, and most Christians. My problem is God has done

00:49:32some things in my life to verify to me of what's real and what's not. Okay. God has, when my friend

00:49:45died, when I was 19, God took me to heaven. I heard somebody calling my name from behind. I turned around.

00:49:54I saw my friend Derek. He had died of meningitis at 19. And he, I asked him, where am I? He said,

00:50:01this is part of the kingdom of God. He says, look up there. And I looked and there were houses all on

00:50:08a mountain, beautiful homes, all on a mountain. And he says, come on, I'm going to show you where

00:50:14God is. And I woke up and God said, Derek is fine. You can stop crying over him and stop worrying about

00:50:23it. Derek is fine. Okay. So I thought that would be the last time I was witnessing to a lady at a

00:50:31church. I mean, at, at, at, at my job when she was, uh, when I was working security and her and her

00:50:38husband were Jehovah witnesses. And I gave her something to read. And she says, my husband was

00:50:46a Jehovah witness and I'm a Jehovah witness. And wherever he went, that's where I want to go.

00:50:51Cause her husband had died. And I went, Oh my goodness, I got to keep witnessing to her.

00:50:56One day I came in and she was crying and she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior.

00:51:02And she's like, I didn't know I accepted Christ. Then about two, a year later, she died. And the Lord

00:51:10took me to heaven and watched him hugging her and walking through the gate. And I went,

00:51:18that's the second time I've been here. Then I had a friend who was in the juvenile prisons because

00:51:28he was a gang member and he wanted, he, he wanted to be a part of the Bible studies,

00:51:37but only to get out of his room. He was like, I don't want to believe in Jesus. I just want to get

00:51:42out of my room. So he says, you can stop talking to me about Jesus. Just, you know, it's just so I

00:51:48can get out of the, get out of the cell for a little while. But he came every week and he kept

00:51:52hearing the word. And then he read a divine revelation of hell. And then I said, I wouldn't

00:51:59talk to him. And he said, I said, are you ready to accept Christ? He said, I just don't think God

00:52:04would accept me. And I said, why? He says, some people have done little things, but he says, you,

00:52:10you gave this example of having sin in your pocket. He says, I got murders in my pocket.

00:52:14And he said, more than one. He said, I don't think God's going to take me. So then I come to work

00:52:22and somebody says, Hey, quick wants to see you at a sale. He had accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord

00:52:30and say, he got out, he got a job, he was doing good. And some old gang members killed him. And I

00:52:36thought maybe he got out and he wasn't living for God. That's why he died.

00:52:40I go into the same dream. And there's quick with Jesus.

00:52:46And Jesus is hugging him. And quick says, his name was Demario Neal. He called him quick.

00:52:53He said, he said, he says, I'm not supposed to be here because he, I don't know. He always felt

00:53:00like he didn't deserve it. And Jesus said, you're here because of me, not because of you. And they

00:53:05walked into the gate. And I said, Lord, that's the third time you've shown me that. The fourth

00:53:10time. And I'm like, this is incredible. Like I said, well, why don't I ever get to see the

00:53:16rest of it? And then the Lord gave me a vision and I'm in heaven and I'm sitting there and I'm

00:53:26watching and it's layer upon layer upon layer. It was like you're in the biggest mall in the world

00:53:33and there's people on every layer walking around, talking, laughing, doing things. And then I saw a

00:53:41daughter and her mother sitting on the edge of the terrace. And they're sitting there and they're

00:53:48drinking something and it must have been good. But the daughter looked at the mother

00:53:52and said, mom, look, we look the same age. And then I woke up and then I said, Lord, all

00:54:02those people are in heaven. He says, nobody is here sitting around waiting for you to get

00:54:06here. That's what the Lord told me. He said, you guys think that everybody's waiting for you

00:54:12guys to get here with the rapture so they can have fun. People are here having life. This

00:54:17is a city. It's an active city with living people. Nobody's here sitting around because

00:54:23when I saw everybody was having life. So this is the benefit that God has given me. But I

00:54:31don't look at Jesus Christ as a religion. I don't look at this as being, oh, I got to go

00:54:37to church and be a good Christian. I look at this as the God who created me has a plan. He's

00:54:43orchestrating his plan in the earth. He's trying to get men to accept what he did for them on

00:54:50the cross so that they can be a part of this great life. And he's trying to save you from

00:54:57the only other place that he has made for you to go if you don't want Jesus. And that's

00:55:06what's going on. And that's what God wants us to be attentive to. That's why I take Christ

00:55:13so serious. You can't give me money to do Christianity wrong. You can't do it. You can't do anything

00:55:26for me because I know it's real. You understand? I know it's real. Like one guy in the prison

00:55:34says, I don't believe in hell because I've never been there. And I said, I don't believe in China

00:55:40because I've never been there. But I hear it's real. So I'm trying to tell you it's real whether

00:55:47you've been there or not. You understand? Heaven is real even though we haven't been there. But the

00:55:54scripture tells us we have a cloud of witnesses that are cheering us on, that are saying you can

00:56:00make it, saying you can be obedient. You can stay in Christ. Okay, the rapture didn't happen. Cheer

00:56:07up, buckaroo. Let's keep growing in Christ. You can keep doing it. You understand? Because the most

00:56:14important thing is you can walk to the edge and see the rich man with no sprite.

00:56:24And walk back and say, I don't care if we're still here, Lord. You're awesome. You're a

00:56:31wonderful God. You understand? So praise God. That's the message today.

00:56:38Hallelujah.

00:56:46Praise the Lord. You know, Pastor Ben asked a very important question this morning in his message.

00:56:52He said, is there something in your life that demonstrates that you aren't even trying to get

00:56:59ready for the rapture? It's an important question. He spoke on insurance and offering. And Pastor Sandy

00:57:09just picked up on that word offering from his message. This church is run by the Holy Spirit.

00:57:14If you hold in your hand an insurance policy that you think is going to get you into heaven,

00:57:20but as Pastor Ben said, he was being real, you're going to stand before the Lord with no offering

00:57:26for him. Then it is time to invest in that insurance policy via some offerings for that insurance policy.

00:57:35I have many insurance policies. And every month I have to give them an offering to keep that policy active.

00:57:45If I don't keep it active, it expires.

00:57:49So the Lord wanted me to ask you this one question. He wanted me to encourage you and challenge you

00:57:55to have. He wanted me to ask you this question. How was your morning devotion this morning?

00:58:04And to encourage and exhort you to have daily morning devotions with him, a time of personal prayer,

00:58:10personal worship, personal reading of the word, just you and Jesus, just you and the Holy Spirit,

00:58:17just you and the heavenly father, just your thoughts and his heart,

00:58:24just your heart and his thoughts, both fueled by the Holy Spirit.

00:58:29Every morning before you turn on your phone to start your day,

00:58:33spend time with Jesus in his word.

00:58:37This is the one thing that can change everything.

00:58:40Every powerful message that we heard this week,

00:58:44salt, crown, Bible study,

00:58:47pastor Ben, pastor Sandy,

00:58:50S4C street ministries,

00:58:52Sunday school.

00:58:53It all started for one person having a morning devotion and spending time with the Lord

00:58:58and bringing that devotion to share with his brothers and sisters.

00:59:01And every message that we heard this week,

00:59:03because of that one morning devotion,

00:59:06the Holy Spirit was there.

00:59:08So we encourage you all,

00:59:11please spend time with the Lord every morning.

00:59:15It is the one thing that can change everything.

00:59:17Amen.

00:59:18We say welcome to Barbados.

00:59:53Lord,

00:59:53we pray as we go out this week,

00:59:56that every day we would live for you,

00:59:59that you would lead us to have many divine appointments.

01:00:02We would be your examples on this earth.

01:00:04And people would see you in us this week.

01:00:08Empower us to do your work and your will.

01:00:12I ask for special prayer protection over Indonesia,

01:00:17over the Philippines.

01:00:20Lord,

01:00:20any nation that's in any path of any hurricane.

01:00:23Father God,

01:00:24we pray that you would calm the storm in Jesus name.

01:00:28Calm the storm in every person's life in Jesus name.

01:00:32May we be victorious.

01:00:34In all things in Jesus name.

01:00:37Amen.

01:00:38Amen.

01:00:39Hallelujah.

01:00:42While we're absent.

01:00:49One from another.

01:00:51Amen.

01:00:52This is my name's prayer.

01:00:54We're here for you.

01:00:55Prayer,

01:00:56come on up.

01:00:57Come on up.

01:01:01Oh,

01:01:01thank you.

01:01:03Do y'all know?
