zoom revival night 2 Words & Idols 8/14/25

So tonight we are going to pick up where we left off last night. Our little recap, a little recapitulation from last night. Every one of us that have left Babylon, some of us took a few of the family idols. What's the name of family idols someone tell me? Terrafim. They're the terrafim. So the terrafim is what we're familiar with. Another word for it, tell Scout I said hello Sister Erin. I see him over there trying to have church with us. Amen. The terrafim is those little parts of where we came from that we're all comfortable with, we're all familiar with. But when you come into the, I tell you what, I tell you what it would be like. It would be like us moving to China, but we bring a little bluebell ice cream with us. We bring a little apple pie with us. We bring a little rebel flag from the Confederacy. We bring a few little things that keep home in our hearts. That's what the terrafim was. It connected you to your ancestry. And listen, it's natural. So if we're not careful, we'll bring a little Baptist and a little Pentecostal, a little Catholic. We'll bring it all into the covenant and try to mix it together. And here's what will happen. Eventually you will die in the wilderness before you make it into your destiny. What is your destiny? 30, 60, 100. That's our destiny. Our destiny is harbor sailors, which get right around the harbor. They're known as harbor sailors. Then the next level of a sailor is not harbor. Somebody tell me, I've already forgotten my own teaching. Coastal. Coastal. Coastal. Thank you, Sister Terri. By the way, Sister Terri Mallory, you've been dropping some truth bombs on Facebook the last few days, honey. Amen. The Lord's really used you to help our ministry during this time. People are reading your writings. So the coastal sailor goes out a little bit further than the harbor, but then there's those blue water sailors, and they go way out there. And that's where we're headed, where we're all trying to get to. However, before we can get to the keys of the kingdom, because when we start those keys, which should be on Sunday night, I believe, when we start in those keys, every night I'm going to give you something that will open your mind, your spirit mind, to understand the kingdom. But before we can do that, we have to take some of your idols tonight, chop their heads off. The idols we're going to deal with tonight are words. Words. W-O-R-D-S. Now, words express ideas. Would you bring me an Ollipop, baby? Oh, turn up my mic? Sure. I'll do anything you want, honey. You want to turn my mic up? I'll turn my mic up. Hallelujah. Is that better? Is that better? Okay. Okay. A word is a thought expressed. The reason our words have to be dealt with tonight, I'm going to break down some words, because when you say a word, you are releasing to the hearer, the person you're talking to, you're releasing a collection of how you think. Thank you, darling. You're releasing a collection of thoughts, right? So if your word is wrong—shut that door, mama, so she won't bark. Thank you. If your words are wrong, your thinking is wrong. If your thinking is wrong, you cannot come into the kingdom, because you have to have a total different way of thinking. For example, when we go to get our rewards at our judgment, and Christ gives us our rewards, the Bible said he's going to give us a new name. By the way, did anybody get my doctrinal position today on the new name? Anybody? Elder Herkey? Okay. Yes, I did. Okay. I've been waiting years to get to that, you know, about the names of the days and the months, and how that they're all pagan, and how that we need to begin changing how we speak, not even—especially when we're among ourselves. We can't do it out in Babylon, I realize that. But among ourselves, we start reverting. We start going back to the future. Let that sink in a minute. We need to go back to the future, because the future is coming, and some of us are already going back to it. Praise Yahweh. And I love it when he told me that. He said, go back to the future. And so we're going to go back to calling it what Israel called it, the first month, the second month, the second day of the week, the third day. For example, today is the fifth day, right? And so as we begin to change our words, we start changing our minds and our ways of thinking. So tonight, we're going to deal with four words. You forever have to change the way you see these words. So if you're ready, we're going to get this part—oh, I've only got—my Lord, it's already 720. Okay. The Lord will help us tonight, some way and somehow. So we're going to talk about four words tonight, and if you get these words right, then you can search the library of Yahweh's mind. How many of you remember when we used to go to the library, and we had to pull out the long drawers and find the keyword? Remember there was keywords? And the keyword would find the book. There are four key words that will open up the kingdom keys for you. If you don't get these four words right in here, you can never open up the kingdom. So most of us have been using a counterfeit library card all of our lives. Counterfeit keywords. The words we're going to study tonight are key. I mean, literally, they're keys. Now here's the problem. The English language mashes together what the Holy Spirit separated. When the Bible was written, the Holy Spirit spoke to men's minds, just like he does today. And he gave them separate, distinct, spiritual concepts, and they would codify that in a word. And the English language would take those separate concepts and smash them under one rubric, category, or word. If you don't learn how to separate under those words—now, let me give you an example. It's not what I'm teaching on tonight, but there are several different meanings in the Scripture that only become clear when you separate the words under the English word. So tonight, we're going to recover the Bible's vocabulary so that the storyline runs straight and your discipleship runs strong, if you get these words tonight. For example, when you hear the word eternal, suddenly, what is the first thing—someone tell me the first thing that comes to your mind with the word eternal? Never-ending. Amen. Forever. Endless time. Tell me the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word world. The earth. Amen. Planet Earth. Tell me the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear heaven and earth. Holy. Two separate places. Above and below. There we go. Somebody said above and below. How about sky and dirt, right? Heaven, sky, earth, dirt. That's typically we see when the Bible says earth, we see dirt. When it says heaven, we see sky, okay? Now what if I told you tonight that every single one of those assumptions is wrong? Eternity does not mean endless time. Earth does not mean the planet. Heaven does not mean the sky. And so if you don't get these right, they will block your understanding of the kingdom message. So let's start with the two axles that unlocks all of scripture. I'm going to give you a word tonight that if you ever grasp the two axles under that word, they will unlock all of the kingdom mindset for you. Those two words are time and order. Time and order. Now those two words are hidden under one word in English. Now the first word that I want to talk to you about tonight is the word world. The word world is a horrible mashing together of two biblical words. The first one is aion, a-i-o-n, aion. What does it mean? Time and age. Remember I told you there's two axles that unlocks the whole word of Yahweh, time and order. Well when you say the word world, that's one English word for aion, a-i-o-n. It simply means age, a-g-e, or time. Or you can think of it like this. Think of a history book, and in that history book there's distinct chapters. Each chapter is an aion, an age, or a period of time in that story. Because if you're reading a history book, you're reading segments of time. You're reading an age after age after age in that total story. Now let's look at a few scriptures, and I'll prove the point to you. Colossians chapter 1, verse 26. Everyone turn there quickly. Colossians 1, 26. All right, let's read that. Even the mystery which has been hidden from ages and generations. I tell you what, let me share my screen, and I'll show you how to pull this up here. Let's look at that real quickly. And by the way, you're going to have to stay with me tonight. It's going to get a little deep, but if I was at the church, I could teach on the board, but I'll do the best I can tonight. So here's the word ages on the left. Do you see it? Look at the meaning of the word ages right there. What did I tell you? Aion. Okay, what is ages? It's chapters of time. All right, now let's turn to Ephesians 2 and verse 7, and let's see what we find. Ephesians 2 and 7. That in the ages to come, what's the word? Aion. Do you see it? Aion. All right, now let's turn to Matthew 24 and verse 3. And he sat upon the Mount of Olives. The disciples came saying, tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of thy coming? And tell us about the end of the world. Now this is where all of Christianity believes there will be an end of this world. Have you ever heard me preaching? And I'd say, there'll never be an end of the world. I thought, where is he getting that from? I get it from right here, Matthew 24 and 3. Let's click on it. Let's go to the word world. What will be the end of the world? And what is the word? Someone tell me. Aion. So what does that tell you? Anybody? The end of the age. Do you see how Christians believe in an end of the world from that one scripture? Do you see how they're carrying this idol in their saddle that there's going to be an end of the world? We're all going to heaven because there's going to be an end of the world. But instead, there's going to be an end of the chapter. The chapter. Hallelujah. And without this understanding, when you're talking to someone and they say, uh-uh, heaven's not coming to the earth. It's going to be an end of the world. This thing's going to burn up. Bible said new heaven and new earth. You understand? Do you see where they're coming from? The Bible said there will be an end of the world, doesn't it? I feel like, I don't know if I'm getting this through tonight or not. I'm looking at faces. Everybody looks a little lost. I get it. It's the end of the age, not the world. It's been horribly mistranslated. It's the end of the chapter. We hear you, pastor. Okay. That's why they believe they're going to heaven because the world will be destroyed. Thank you, Elder. And that's why I cannot get to the keys of the kingdom until we first, what, get these words right in our mind, because it leads us into these idols in our bag. And by the way, this is one of those idols we got from mama's house, daddy's house, of Christianity, just like Trinitarianism, incarnation. And that's why I tell people you can go to another Sabbath-keeping church, but they all believe in incarnation, that God became a man, which is blasphemy. And why is it? Because no one cares about originalism. What you're looking at on your screen right now is originalism. We're going back to find the meaning of the word world. All right. Now let's continue. Ages are covenant, are covenantal transitions is what they are. Every age, I told you the two axles to understanding the whole word of God is time and what? Order. Order. Okay. Order. Every age, every chapter in the history book has an underlying order in that age, a way that things operate. Okay. Now I'm going to show that to you. There is another word under the word world that is not Aeon. It is cosmos. Let's go to John chapter 3, verse 16. We've got to learn the differences here. John chapter 3 and verse 16. Now we just read the word world and the translation for that word was Aeon. Boy, we've got a full house tonight. Beautiful. Thank you, Father. You see the eagles will always gather where the fresh food is. Always. Don't ever forget that children. All right. Let's look here. Amen. Amen. Now let's look at the word world. You see it on your left. We're in John 3, 16. For God so loved the world. Now, why did we use the word Aeon here? Because he don't just love the chapter. He doesn't just love the age. He loves the cosmos. Now, be very careful because we're going to show you a scripture next where God hates the world. Amen. Let's look at this word cosmos. It has several meanings. Look, number one, or number five, rather, the inhabitants of the earth, men, the human family. But look at the first meaning of cosmos. Totally different. A harmonious arrangement or a what? An order or a government. Okay. So, Yahshua loved the people that were part of a certain order or a certain arrangement. And we'll get to that later. I promise you. But that goes back to my teaching that Yahshua did not die for the whole world. He died for the law. And tomorrow night, I'm really getting into that on Friday night. He died for the law, sheep of the house of Israel. Those people of a certain government or order or arrangement. But when we see the word world, we think it means what? Somebody tell me. The whole planet. Everybody. Everybody. But if you look at the meaning, one of the meanings is adorning. This, an adornment is an arrangement of jewelry. There was a certain arrangement. Now, let's go to another scripture and compare these words. By the way, if you came looking tonight for me to talk about what the devils do and you came to the wrong place, hallelujah. I come to teach the word to you tonight. Praise the Lord. And to give you a clear understanding of the kingdom of Yahweh. Amen. Let's go over to, I think I'm looking for John chapter, no, 1 John 2 and 15. 1 John 2 and verse 15. Let's go look at that. 1 John 2, 15. What do y'all see on your screen right now? Blue letter Bible. Okay. Just making sure that you could see it. All right. What's the first thing it tells us? Love not the world, but yet God so loved the world, but we're not to love the world. So does that mean we're not to love our neighbor? Don't love people? No, no, no. We're not to love the system or the what? The order of this chapter. The arrangement or the constitution of this chapter of the six days of mankind. All right. So there it is. You must know the meaning of the words. Now, if we go to St. John 12 and 31, St. John 12, 31, let's go look at that one. I want to teach you how to know the kingdom. John 12, 31. Now the judgment, well, let me share that with you for those that want to see the meaning. The judgment of this world, I'm sorry, now is the judgment of this world. Now we know it's not the judgment of the age yet. There's been no judgment of the age. There is a judgment against the what? The system, the order, the arrangement. And now shall the prince of this what? This order, this what? This government. You see the word government? So now world can mean government. The prince of this government has been judged. So that's why we have to understand the meaning of these words, and we have to understand that God loves the people trapped in the system, but He wages war against the system that traps them. Okay? Now, I want to go and talk about II Peter chapter 3 and verse 6. Let's go and focus now on this word worlds, aeons, and we will try to understand it even better. II Peter 3 and 6. Amen. II Peter 3 and 6. I tell you, well, let's start at verse number 5. For they willingly are ignorant of that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water, whereby the world that then was was overflowed with water. It perished. So let's pause just for a moment before we read the rest. The world that then was was flooded, and that world perished. Brothers and sisters, are we not still living on that same planet? So how did the world perish? Okay, very important. That world, that world has ended, and after the flood there was a what? A new heaven and a new earth. Okay, let's keep reading. And then the Bible tells us, but the heavens and the earth which are now. Now, if you didn't know my teachings, you would think that this is literally talking about a new heaven and a new earth, which what? Is now. By the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. See, pastor, that's when the world is going to end. Peter says, wait a minute, not so fast, don't be ignorant. Peter says in the next verse, one day is with the Lord as a thousand years. What he's telling you, it's not the end of the world, it'll be the end of the day. And he's making that very plain for us. And then he begins to talk in verse 10, but the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away, and the elements will melt with the fervent heat, and the earth and everything's going to be burned up. And yet he just explained to you what he meant by that, by eluding to the world that then was, okay? So it's very important that we grasp that tonight. So I'm going to try to break it down to you. 2 Peter 3 and 6, the world that then existed perished. Here's what perished, are you ready? The world that was. What's another word for world? Government. Government. The biggest word in God's vocabulary, government. He, God is government. And the government that then was, number one, the watchers and the governed, all perished. That order, that order perished. That order perished from the earth. It was burned up. It was eradicated. It was refined and thrown away, and a new heaven and earth, or a new government. Peter talks about that next government. He says the heaven and the earth, which are now, it's reserved for fire. What is reserved for fire? The government of this world, this arrangement. And who is that? Satan. You see, it was not Satan that was thrown out of the first world. It was the watchers, because Satan is still the god of this government, or this arrangement, or this cosmos. And what's his character? Corruption, rebellion, decay. What's his destiny? What's the destiny of the present age? Purification. What is fire? It is reserved. Oh, I love this message. Oh, it, this world that we live in is reserved. Oh, we're here for fire. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's reserved for purification. Hallelujah. And transformation. What does fire do? It transforms. It, it brings anything you burn up never goes away. It becomes a gas, or it becomes something, but it's this age is reserved for purification. What a promise from Yahweh for this age. Now, according to 2 Peter 3 and 13, there will be new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness will dwell. Do you know why? There will be a new cosmos. There will be a new government. So we have three governments that Peter alludes to in this verse. We have the government that was the ones on earth, those giants, those mighty men, and the watchers before the flood. We have the government that now is Satan and the fallen angels. But we have another government coming after the fire, after the purification. That will be Yahshua and His saints. That will be justice, peace, and righteousness, and that will be the eternal kingdom. Now, within our own world, our aeons, there are many chapters. Number one, we have Abraham to Moses. That's a chapter. That is the patriarchal chapter, or aeon, aeon, okay? We have the Mosaic aeon, or chapter. We have the gospel, the Yahshua aeon, or chapter. And the next chapter, my friend, is the kingdom aeon, okay? Now, these are critical distinctions because these age shifts are covenantal. What do I mean by covenantal? They are how Yahweh trains His remnant. Oh, hallelujah. Each aeon, the training changes, okay? As a matter of fact, there were many things that Paul brought in to the church that never existed even in Torah. Pastors. No pastors existed in Torah. Did you know that? No evangelists. No teachers. No five-fold government of apostles, prophets, and the prophets of the Old Testament were not the same as the prophets of the New Testament. Why? There was a transitional covenantal changing where there would be an upgrading of the training of the people of Yahweh. From Abraham to Moses, we have that great wilderness training. And then from Moses, we have the national training of the nation of Israel. But then under Christ, we have the five-fold ministry training, bringing us into the kingdom age. Now, remember, the covenant shifting is operating right along with the world shifting, or civilization shifting. All you have to do is look back through civilization. You see the industrial age. You see where the order changes in that particular age. All right. I hope I've explained that. So when Yahshua says the end of the age, He is not forecasting the annihilation of the planet. He's announcing a chapter change, a complete government transition. Right now, we have a government in training. We also had a government in training during the Mosaic Aeon. We had a government in training in the Abrahamic Aeon. There has been a remnant government training in every age. Colossians chapter 1, verse 26. The book of Colossians. Oh Lord, time is flying by. Colossians 1, 26. The mystery which has been hidden from ages and generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. I hope you grasp what that's saying. It's more powerful than you realize. It's almost scary. It tells us that you and I have access to a level of training now that none of the prophets had. Let that sink in for a minute. Do you know that you understand Isaiah's prophecy today more than he did? Wow, what a blessed people we are. The mystery. That's why the Bible said the prophets didn't even understand what you and my Lord, our judgment. Do you know our judgment is going to be greater than the prophets of the Torah? Why? To whom much is given, much. Oh God, I'm scaring myself to death right now. Much more is we are in an age. Look, FHMI, I don't know if you know it or not. You have access in that FHTV. You have access to eagle food that dare I say even Moses did not have. I don't say that in the way it sounds. I say that humbly, but we understand what none of them understood. Thank you, Pastor. Oh, thank you, Elder Sparks. Hallelujah. When we begin to understand the priesthood, the way we're coming into it, it's going to demand another level of commitment. And by the way, everyone's not willing to make that level of commitment. And that's okay. But for those that are, more will come to you. And that's why I feel led to teach these next 12 nights on the keys to the kingdom so that you become so kingdom-minded that you grasp the age that you are living in, because each age reveals more of Yahweh's character. For example, do you know that in the age before mine, my grandmother's age, which she's standing right there. She's standing right here watching me work. She stands right there and watches me work, my little grandma. Hallelujah. She watches over me. Of course, I know that's not her. You know what I mean? I'm just saying her memory. Amen. I hate to admit I've turned and talked to that piece of cardboard quite a bit the last two days. Not in a bad way, but just one time I heard her singing. Don't tell anybody I said that. They'll think I'm crazy. I told you so. I heard her singing to me. I told you so. Hallelujah. Praise Yahweh. I hope you know what I mean by that. I'm just cherishing her memory. But nevertheless, she did not understand what we understand. And brothers and sisters, she preached hell hot. You didn't want to go on one of her services. You would go to the altar, even if you didn't want to go to the altar. By the time she got through preaching on hell, you literally could smell the maggots yourself. Oh, God. Oh, she would be preaching, and she'd say, and by the time you've been there a million years, those maggots are beginning to eat out your, I'm like, my God, please get me saved right now. Amen. Now, I'm laughing, but I'm making a point. She was preaching all she understood about the character of God. But every age, children, is revealing to us more and more of his character. And we know his character is mercy and restoration. But the generations before us, can you agree with me, they did not know that. They didn't. And therefore, people wouldn't go to church because of the God they heard about. So every age is teaching us more and more about the plan and the character. The Bible tells us in Colossians 126, what was hidden from my grandmother's generation has now been revealed to end time saints. You see, we're not reading about random history, my beloved sisters and brothers. We're watching a divine curriculum unfold. If we're training for reigning, and by the way, we don't train for reigning when we get into the millennial kingdom. Our training is complete before the millennium starts. Let that scare the bejesus out of you. How are we lining up to that training? Okay. We are watching an unfolding curriculum. We're all in college. And we have a level of curriculum now that no one before us has had, except for, now let me qualify that, there was a few remnant believers that the Father revealed these depths to all the way, I mean, what, because they desired them. But to as a people as a whole, very, very few have seen this unfolding of His grace. Now, why? Here's the question. Why is He doing this? Ephesians chapter 2 and verse 7. How do I have eight minutes when I'm on the second paragraph of my sermon? Help me, Lord. All right. Ephesians 2 and 7. Here's why we have an unfolding curriculum. That in the ages to come, He might show the exceeding riches of His grace. Now, what did Paul mean by the ages to come? Paul wrote that on what day of the timeline? Four, right? Okay. There is three more ages coming. The fifth day, the sixth day, and the seventh day. So why did He say Yahweh was revealing things to us He didn't reveal to them? Because it is the riches of His grace to do that to people that don't deserve it. Does anybody in this room think any of us are any better than Paul or Moses or Abraham? I mean, God forbid. God forbid. And yet I wish you would hear me. Do you know that the least student in this room has more understanding than David had? Amen. The man that wrote the book of Psalms. And that's the exceeding riches of His grace. Thank Yahweh for grace. The story does not end with our age, which is the sixth day. Yahweh has planned multiple ages in this story, each one revealing greater dimensions of His goodness. You see? Did you hear that? In each age, He would reveal more of His what? Grace. Hallelujah. More of His mercy. Amen. Eternity. I tell you what, since I'm out of time, let's run to Luke 20, 34 through 36. And I want to show you the paradigm you have to adopt if you want keys to the kingdom. You have to adopt the two ages paradigm. You have to look at your life through two camera lenses. I want you to imagine with me you have two cameras in your hand. In one lens, you have to see this age, and you in this age, and another one in that age. You must look at your daily choices, your decisions through both lens. And you have to be lining up through both lens. For example, verse 34, the sons of this age are given in marriage. Okay? But those that are counted worthy to attain, underline it, underline it, that age, do you see the two ages here? And the resurrection from the dead, they neither marry nor are they given in marriage. Do you know that verse has nothing to do with marriage, even though it's talking about marriage? What does it have to do with? A complete understanding of the love of Yahweh. In this age, since we do not have infinite love for a woman or a man, we have to get married. Because marriage binds us together, because love's not enough. We don't have infinite love beyond our own self. We don't have enough love to endure a partner getting on our nerves, or a partner doing us wrong. So we have to go get a contract, a marriage contract, to keep us together. But in that age, there'll be no marriage and given in marriage. Why? We will have obtained the ultimate loving your neighbor as much. You won't need marriage. Marriage is literally a ceremony that reminds us to love one another, if you will. The current world is limited, but the next world or the next age will be filled with resurrection life and righteousness. Now, okay, I've got four minutes left. First Corinthians 10 and 11. First Corinthians 10 and 11. Now, all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition upon whom the ends of the ages have come. You cannot break that down into JSV version, John Shane Vaughan. Upon whom the story is nearly complete with. Upon whom the last chapters are being written. The echoes of Israel is to do what? To bring us into this final level of training. We have a unique position, you and I. We are living right now at what I call a convergence point, where multiple ages are meeting up together. The old covenant age is coming to a close. The gospel age is climaxing, and the kingdom age is breaking in. And this is why our generation is experiencing such intense spiritual warfare and acceleration. Why? Because upon whom the end of several ages have come. There is a mounting weight upon the end time church of the ages. We are literally, literally ending the old covenant age. We're still under that covenant, and we're also ending the gospel age, the gospel of Christ, and we're meeting the kingdom age. We have this convergence, and within it is great spiritual upset. Satan is angry because he knows his time is short. And I'll close tonight with Hebrews chapter 1, verse 2. Hebrews 1 and 2. Remember, history is not random. The ages are not accidental. Yahshua himself is the culmination of the ages. And then we his brethren, Hebrews 1 and 2, through whom also, or for whom also, he made the ages. Can I break that down into JSV version? All the chapters. All the chapters were written because of him. You know why that is, my friend? How many likes to read a story that doesn't end right? No. For the story to end right, there had to be Christ. Hallelujah. Thank you for joining me. I didn't get to all the other words. I love you. Good night.
