Just How Close Are We to the Coming of the Lord Speaker: Shane Vaughn Date Delivered: 2021-07-31 Source video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKXnRJwfNGU YouTube title: LIVE ZOOM Interactive Bible Study 7/31/21 "How Close Are We To The Return of The Messiah?" Transcript made from the video's YouTube captions. 1 I want to give you a quote from President John F Kennedy he said this in 1961 he was speaking at the United Nations assembly and he said mankind must put an end to war our war will put an end to mankind the title of today's Bible study is just how close are we to the coming of the Lord I want to say this before we start reading scriptures today we know we know exactly when our Messiah is going to return now we may not know the day or the hour but I'm going to teach you today just how close we are to the coming of our 2 Messiah and if you're not careful you will very seldom hear the modern Church preaching on this vital subject which is why we are all saved to begin with is it not to anticipate the coming of our Lord and yet most churches all you will hear about is the coming of your new house or the coming of your blessing or the coming of your miracle and I thank God for all of those things but the message of The Church Must Be continuously every week the coming of our Lord and so so John F Kennedy said if we don't put an end to war war will put an end to mankind 3 he also said every inhabitant of this planet must contemplate the day when this planet May no longer be habitable everybody listen to these words please everyone mute yourself he said the mere existence of modern weapons 10 million times more powerful than any that the world has ever ever seen and only minutes away from any Target on Earth is a source of horror these are the words of President Kennedy and President Kennedy continued speaking and he said together we shall save our planet or Together We Shall Perish in its flames now I didn't call this Bible study today to to bring you doom and gloom Because by the time I'm finished 4 it will be a beautiful story but sometimes I wonder if you and I as Christians forget what day we are living in in a few moments I'm going to show you the scriptures where Jesus yua I will refer to him as his mother did by the name yua going forward in this class today he told us exactly when he's going to return I'm going to show it to you in your Bible he said the exact moment he's going to return now I want you to keep the words of President John F Kennedy in your mind throughout this whole lesson he said that if we don't save our 5 planet we will go down in flames with our planet now he is referring to nuclear war we act like we've forgotten that our planet is littered with nuclear weapons and that just within 72 hours this planet as we know it could cease to be habitable how many of you remember Nagasaki Japan anybody remember Nagasaki Japan all right we dropped a nuclear weapon there what some 50 years ago I don't know a long time ago and do you know that Nagasaki Japan is still there's the area where that bomb dropped is still uninhabitable now Pastor V are you trying to scare us this morning well sometimes some of you 6 need to get scared sometimes we need to be reminded that this world is not in the perfect order that we think this world is in and we must not get so focused on the things that do not matter in this life that we forget the Glorious coming of our Lord and savior yua the Messiah my heart longs for his coming if you don't long for his coming more than you long to wake up every day you are not a True Believer his coming is all that matters you're going to find out today that that's why at our church we still celebrate the Sabbath day because that 7 is the seventh day of the week our Lord will return in the 7,000th year which is represented by the Sabbath day every week we are here today in this Bible study to prepare for the coming of Our Lord now let us turn in our Bibles or before we do let me say this I want to continue with the words that John F Kennedy said John F Kennedy said right after he said that we're going to go down and Flames here's what he said he said unless we are saved by a strong hand from some place I want you to hear John F Kennedy's words and I want to oh Hallelujah feel 8 the Holy Spirit already John F Kennedy said we're going to go down in flames unless we are saved by a strong hand hand from some place does anybody watching me today know what that strong hand is hallelujah does anybody here know what that strong hand is I'm going to look and see if I've got anybody that knows your hands Hallelujah don't you know what that strong hand is and it's gonna come from some place hallelujah amen let's mute the whole room can we please sister that's moderating make sure the room is muted except for myself oh Hallelujah that strong hand is coming President Kennedy I'm here today to prophesy to you and 9 tell you that strong hand from somewhere is coming let's read Isaiah chapter 40 and verse 10 and I'm going to call on different ones to read today now we're going to start our Bible study Hallelujah honey is my Bible in there KK I brought it to church last night to preach I'm gonna have to use one of these little Bibles praise the Lord all right who won't I tell you what I'm going to call on you to read unmute yourself and uh we're going to let you read um let me pull let me pull the screen up Candice Willis you're first on the list today we're going to read from Isaiah 10 chapter 40 and verse 10 okay we're ready when you are all right yes The Sovereign Lord is coming in all his glorious power he will rule with awesome strength see he brings his reward with him as he comes President Kennedy said he needed a strong hand from somewhere didn't he well we just read from the prophet of God that that strong hand with awesome strength is coming to a planet near you Hallelujah that strong hand is coming and he is coming to rule with power and authority over the nations of this earth that is Hope ladies and gentlemen now keep that in mind as we go forward all 11 right let's go to Matthew chapter 24 and this is the great End Time chapter of the Bible amen Mike and Linda that was y'all's bible study this morning about that strong hand oh that's wonderful don't you love it when the Holy Spirit knows what we're studying Matthew chapter 24 and uh Karina and Audie I'm going to have y'all to read Matthew 24 verse 21 through verse 22 and by the way every one of you should read Matthew 24 in its entirety you should read it every week you should read it every day this is the prophecy chapter where yua speaks about his return Matthew 24:21 through 12 22 for then Karina Karina and ay y'all we're ready when y'all for then there will be great distress unequaled from the beginning of the world until now and never to be equaled again if those days had not been cut short no one would survive but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened hallelujah thank you thank you thank you so they were asking yua when are you going to return when exactly and he said I'll tell you exactly when I'm coming back I will return at a point in world history to where if I did not return at that moment if I did not 13 return if I did not come as that strong hand from somewhere there would be no flesh Left Alive Now the King James version says saved that's a horrible translation the newer translations have corrected that he said when I return if I did not cut the day short see we know right now for example we know and by the way if you don't have our ministry calendar we keep the Holy Days by the uh Enoch the Enoch Zite calendar if you don't have one of these you you you you need one um now right now this year on the sacred Zite calendar not the one you go by not the 14 one the world goes by but the one that the Bible goes by this is the year 5,782 see 5,000 let's get it there good that's the Year we're in 5,782 now according to the biblical calendar we are some 250 years or 220 what ever it is away from the end of the 6,000 years of mankind that is when the 7eventh day begins the 7,000th year that's when the Golden Age The Kingdom age the millennial reign will begin however lest you get laxidasical and you're like oh well we've got 220 years left it looks like read what Audi just read he said if I don't shorten those 15 days if I don't intervene on that calendar Hallelujah no flesh will be Left Alive why because even President Kennedy understood that the day was coming upon the nations of the world where nuclear war would annihilate every every living creature on this planet now I want to ask every one of you a question and I'm going to unmute some of you right now let me see I'm gonna call on sister Maddie and I'm gonna call on Joseph unmute yourself Maddie and Joseph I want to ask you a question was there ever a time in world history that this prophecy of Jesus Christ yua could have been fulfilled was there ever 16 a time in our history before n the 1900s that All Flesh on this planet could have been destroyed Maddie what say you I don't think there has been uh not like today not like this time we are in right now Maddie could Alexander the Great have destroyed All Flesh on this planet including the animals oh no that would not be possible in his day Joseph what about the Roman Empire could the Roman soldiers have annihilated All Flesh on our planet no no they no because their reach was only so far and that they right right they could have destroyed anything in their path right yes but but you like you just 17 said their path was only so wide right thank you y'all can mute yourselves now the Reas reason this is important for you to understand there was never a time except the day that you live in Sister dot sister all of you that's watching me there's 70 of you in this class right now 70 of you you are living in the day oh Hallelujah where Jesus Christ yua saw your day he saw that there was a time coming when the weapon we of this world just like John F Kennedy said will bring our planet down in flames and for those of you that don't think it can happen well I bet you 18 didn't think that the world would shut down over the common cold virus either did you that's how quick things can change beloved just that quickly now let me show you if you want to know if you're living in the last times or the last moments before yua Returns the Apostle Peter in second Peter let's turn there second Peter chapter 3 verse 3 through verse 4 he's going to tell you when you can know that you're living in the end time let's read it and I'm going to call on Jill you and your husband either one would like to read that for us today second Peter 3 19 3-4 I miss my big Bible I know that yes sir go right ahead knowing this first that there shall come in the last days scoffers walking after their own lust and saying where is the promise of his coming yes for since the father fell asleep all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation so the main sign of the coming of the Lord is when nobody believes in it anymore can I get an amen what did Peter just say amen he said in the last days people will literally mock you for saying you believe that Jesus Christ is going to return now that never happened before for the 20 last 1,800 years pretty much everybody in the Christian World believe that Jesus would return but I can promise you right now penage to a dollar that your next door neighbor does not believe Jesus is going to return that's the evidence of how close we are to the coming Lord and I'm going to break it down further for you I'm going to say pennies to the dollar your local church don't even believe Jesus Christ is going to return oh brother V my church does all right question don't get upset at me for telling you the truth when's the last time you heard them preach about it you preach what you 21 believe I need an amen in this church today amen amen amen the message of the church is no longer Jesus Christ is returning oh no no no it's send me a th you're gonna get 10,000 I've always wondered if they really believe that they ought to send me a thousand if they believe they gonna get 10,000 anyway all right Hallelujah now let's go and see what God has to say about these scoffers that live next to you your neighbors Ezekiel 12 21-23 and we're going to call on us sister Dorothy you want to read sister dot you want to bypass you or you want to read 22 today I can't see you baby I can't hear you unmute yourself sister dot yes I will read that's easy Ezekiel 12 yes ma'am 21 through 23 let me get a hold hold on now does everybody in here have any experience with scoffers if you don't just turn on CNN turn on Fox turn on all of them and you'll see what they think about those of us that believe Jesus Christ is still going to return amen Ezekiel 1221 through 23 by the way don't turn in my family amen sister okay all right sister I'm ready and the word of the Lord came unto me saying son of man what is that proverb 23 that you have in the land of Israel saying the days are prolonged and every Vision fth okay listen to what he said he said even in the house of Israel which is the church what is this that I'm hearing that the days are prolonged and that the vision has failed what was a vision that you used to hear preached in the church when you were a child what did you hear every evangelist that came through they was preaching get ready for the coming of the Lord but you don't hear that no more I promise you you don't because they think the vision has failed they believe that somehow we that we got 24 it wrong that he's not returning so we need to go ahead and live our best life now oh wow anyway don't get me started now Sister dot go down and read verse 25 of the selfs same chapter for I am the Lord hallelujah I will speak and the word that I speak shall come to pass it shall be no more prolonged for in your days oh rebellious house will I say the word and will perform it hallelujah praise the Lord oh did you hear him go ahead and keep saying that the days are prolonged go ahead and keep ignoring the signs of the time go ahead 25 and say the vision has failed because in that moment when the time is right and I'm going to teach you today when the time is right when when the time has come the fullness of time you remember the day of Pentecost the Bible says that the day of Pentecost was fully come that was a holy day the one that the church says is done away with that was a holy day God always operates on a Divine calendar God is Not sporadic he keeps appointments and he keeps a sket and I hope you know the schedule because if you do you're not going to be caught 26 unaware you won't be he won't come like a thief in the night to you that are watching he'll only be a thief in the night to those that went to bed but he said if you would have known that the thief was coming you would have stayed up and watched God is calling on a church I'm about to preach in here let me slow down come on Hallelujah to God hallelujah God is oh I see you just in on the road this morning God bless you they're traveling to her grandmother their grandmother's funeral and they're tuning in for this Bible study make sure you keep the Morgan family in prayer 27 they'll be burying their grandmother today all right now go ahead sister Dot and pick up at verse 28 therefore say unto them thus sayi the Lord God thou shall none of my Words Be prolong anymore but the word which I have spoken shall be done did you hear Lord my words will no longer be prolonged be very careful Hallelujah when whenever you give up on the Promises of God they come on a schedule I said they come on a schedule and you need to know that schedule today Hallelujah glory to God hallelujah amen hallelujah yeah Hallelujah I'm glad I know his schedule Hallelujah my Lord my 28 Lord my Lord my Lord all right so let's go read first Thessalonians 5 and three and Brother Joseph I'm going to let you read that the trumpet player first Thessalonians 5 and three okay I'm just getting there give me one second you're fine my brother everyone turn there that's right say it again first Thessalonians 5 and three five and three okay so chapter five first Thessalonians chapter five okay that's correct my friend sorry I have my online Bible so in my Logos oh okay you're fine I got it I'm coming up all right chapter five verse three okay for when they say peace and safety then sudden 29 destruction comes upon them as labor pains Upon a pregnant woman and they shall not Escape see how many agrees that your entire life in America has been a time of peace and safety Can we pretty much all agree to that we've none of us been worried very much about anything right we've been living in a la la land the whole world since since World War II the whole world has been at peace and safety except for a few battles here and there peace and safety he said just like that pregnant woman that thinks her pregnan she's doing just fine no she's doing and all of a sudden 30 in the middle of the night those pains kick in that's when the coming of the Lord is what it's going to be like do you know anyone that is skeptical or unbelieving about the coming of the Lord the world does not have long to wait before astounding earthshaking events are going to begin to jolt people out of their complacency and I'm going to tell you right now looking you square in the eyes the beginning of those pains upon the world has begun mark my words the beginning of these pains has begun and I'm going to prove that to you in the scripture in just a moment 31 that skepticism is about to be shattered let's go to Joel The Book of Joel chapter 1 verse two through verse three and uh we're going to have uh Miss Maddie you want to read that for us the Book of Joel chapter 1 verse two and verse three now this is going to tell us about the day of the Lord I want to say this to everybody before we go any further I haven't really found it yet because I have to do it online take your time Maddie while I set this verse up and help everyone understand what you're going to be reading Joel what I Joel 32 chapter 1 verse 2 through verse three now most Christians including many of you I myself at one time had a doctrate in Theology and I did not know anything about the day of the Lord most people do not know what the day of the Lord is and yet there is 2third of your Bible is about the day of the Lord there is more prophecies in your Bible about the day of the Lord than there is about the Lord himself now I really want you to hear what I'm saying and yet if you ask a Christian tell me about the day of the Lord they they really can't they don't 33 know what that euphemism means do you know why that is beloved do you know why that is because the church has gotten rid of the day of the Lord Beloved the day of the Lord is the Sabbath day because he is Lord of the Sabbath day the Sabbath day is the number seven josua will return to set up his government on the seventh day the day of the Lord 1,000 years is the day of the Lord so the Book of Joel chapter that we're going to be reading out of chapter one I believe chapter yeah one this book is about the millennial Reign this book is about the government 34 on Earth the coming of Messiah and yet most doctors of theology do not understand the day of the Lord so I'm telling you about the day of the Lord that's why we keep the Sabbath at our church every week There's a group of people that gather together at the setting of the sun on the seventh day to celebrate the Day of the Lord there's only one seventh day of the week amen all right I'm ready sister Maddie if you are okay start with not with two yeah we're going to start with verse two and go through verse three hear this elders and give ear all 35 inhabitants of the land has anything like this happened in your days or in the days of your fathers tell it to your children and let your children tell their children and let their children tell another generation now we're going to keep reading in that chapter everyone stay with us now we're going to keep reading listen carefully he said you have a duty and an obligation to tell your your children your grandchildren and your great grandchildren everyone in your family it is your duty to tell them about this day that is coming to planet Earth he said you have a greater duty to talk about this day than you even do to 36 try to get people saved now listen I'm going to break it down for you today okay I'm going to tell you things you may not have heard before but we are so focused on getting people saved that we're not getting anybody prepared for this day of the Lord now all right we're going to let someone else pick up now at verse 15 let's see who else we've got out there uh

world war that I start started this lesson off with is being prophesied here when the Nations will be at War now how do we know that this is speaking about nuclear war let's read verse number 15 and verse 16 Callie I'm sorry okay so the sun and moon will grow dark and the Stars will diminish their brightness hold tight there is only one way that the Sun and the Moon can go dark ladies and gentlemen have you ever seen a nuclear Cloud yeah oh okay in Japan they said 47 when that mushroom cloud went up that it became midnight in the middle of the day the Sun and the Moon refusing to shine what this Prophet is seeing is all of a sudden in this battle all of a sudden there is a blackout on planet Earth of the moon and the stars and the sun you can't even see the sky this is nuclear war read C verse 16 the Lord also Roar from saion and utter his voice from Jerusalem the heavens and earth will shake but the Lord will will be a shelter of for his people and the strength of of the children of Israel wo hallelujah what a 48 promise what a promise what a promise listen to what he said Hallelujah there's a promise Hallelujah he said right when this sun goes dark right when this nuclear war begins Yahweh will utter his voice from the heavens which his voice is yua Michael the Archangel and yua the Bible said that they will come forth from heaven and put a stop to this war oh Hallelujah and this will be the coming of the Lord that even yua himself prophesied now let's compare that to Matthew 24 29 through 31 Miss Anne Johnson would you like to read that for us today uh yes I'll read it let's say 49 Matthew we're going to go to Matthew 24 29-31 Matthew 2429 through can me just now while she's reading this I want you to compare the verses we just read in Joel and compare them to the words of yua okay go ahead let me jot this down in my notebook Matthew 24 what now 29 through 31 because that way I got a reference for later yes ma'am can y'all hear me good we got you okay um immediately after the tribulation of those days the now let's pause for a moment what days is he talking about those days remember we just read in Joel those days of tribulation when the food 50 shortage begins when pestilence is begin on planet Earth when this nuclear war is upon on us after those days of tribulation and then he talks about Jesus is saying the same words Joel said read continue reading the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light the Stars will fall from Heaven and the powers of the heavens will be shaken now let's before we read once again the same thing Joel said that the sun would Moon and dark would the Stars would not be visible it's as if they fell from heaven they would be gone this is the beginning of nuclear war when the even the heavens 51 are shaken from these these uh uh uh vibrations of this great third world war but listen to what yua says in verse 30 read sister then then the sign of the son of man will appear in heaven hallelujah hallelujah thank you Jesus and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn and they will see the son of man coming on the Clouds Of Heaven with power and great Glory thank you Jesus yes amen and he will send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet and they will gather together his elect from the Four Winds from one end of Heaven to the other woo y'all gonna have to give me a 52 second hallelujah hallelujah to God hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah my wife sings a song hallelujah hallelujah oh glory to God don't you do y'all see these scriptures all lining up so perfectly the word of God is perfect my wife sings a song that says I have hope when Trouble Comes My Way I have hope I can't sing it like she can but I have hope ladies and gentlemen I just read to you my hope do you hear me and Joel said that when this day of trouble begins that the almighty will protect his people hallelujah he will be our strength in that day of trouble but I want you to notice what he did not say 53 now now now now he did not say he will Rapture his people he said he will protect his people oh the most dangerous teaching in the church today is the pre-tribulation rapture because it robs God of this ability to protect his people hallelujah glory to God glory to God hallelujah oh my my Lord help me help me to calm down Hallelujah W Hallelujah glad you got that blessed hope today hallelujah oh Hallelujah now let me say this before we continue we've all been taught and I was taught the same thing growing up that Jesus could return any moment and Rapture us out of here well you can't 54 have it both ways you you can't have the second coming and the Rapture you can have either or but you can't have both see let me explain it to you like this the Bible talks about two comings of Christ not three but two the first and the last two comings if you've got another coming of Christ before the second coming you called The Rapture now you've got three comings of Christ now here's the thing about it God told us in the Book of Joel that we would be protected that goes along perfect with the whole Bible because surely Noah was he raptured or was he 55 protected yeah what about uh what about uh lot and his family when trouble came from heaven when God sent judgment were they raptured or were they protected all right let's go to the land of Egypt the house of Israel when God sent wrath upon the Earth did he WRA did he Rapture Israel or did he protect Israel protect amen let's go to ad let's go to 870 when the when the soldiers of Rome besieged Jerusalem and killed everyone there Judgment of God fell upon that city did God Rapture his people or did he tell them go to the mountains and tell them where to go did he protect 56 them protected protected protected them my next question is does God ever change no sir no God the same today and forever yesterday today and forever he never amen so ladies and gentlemen I hate to tell you but they they've sold you a bill of goods that's not going to cash they've written you a check they've written you a check that's not going to cash ladies and gentlemen and uh it's called The Lies of the modern Church it has led God's people to sleep to where when this trouble begins they will not be prepared and they will lose their faith they will fall Away by the 57 millions and it will not be Satan that would have done it it will be the church that did it they will be deceived brother brother Shane yes it's Joseph may may I ask one question and just reject one thing yes so one thing I know we're not moving forward in Matthew but one thing I took notice of and I know the Holy Spirit just enlightened to the parable of the Fig Tree which comes right after this verse and we went back to Joel it says the Fig Tree will wither just recently and I've been studying the Bible for 18 years I learned that the Fig Tree is the representative of the 58 Tree of Life the Fig and date tree is the representative of the tree of life so in Joel we see the hopelessness of of it of it with ing but here we see Yeshua telling us no know that the time is near and that nothing will pass away my words will not pass away and so there is our hope to know that in our eternal life and in who Yeshua is and praise the Lord praise the Lord oh oh praise the lord we we know we it is it seems so dark and and we live in such a dark world and dark times but we have the light of 59 Yahweh and we have yes of Yeshua and we do not have to fear there is no fear here I know my wife is fearing now I know my children are fearing they're growing up in a dark World there so much upon us I hate to prophesy now I'm just telling you praise the Lord thank you for this study and brothers and sisters be encouraged and do not fear God the Lord what a word from the Lord and I want encourage all the saints we're going to study a few more minutes but before we do I want to say this to everybody quit being distracted by the 60 details the devil is in the details what I mean by that it's okay to notice the election fraud and it's okay to notice covid it's okay to notice all of these things but you better not get focused on them you better focus on the Blessed hope of the church that Jesus Christ is soon to return and all these things that's happening is leading up to that imminent return of Christ because oh I tell you God has really burdened me lately that we're getting too distracted we're getting too distracted on things rather than on what truly matters now let me say this let's go over and read a few final verses of 61 scripture before we end our study today Isaiah chap 24 verse 17 through verse 21 and we'll get uh Charlotte Shephard would you mind reading reading for us today Isaiah 24:17 if any of you are shy and don't want to read you can just pass me on by and we'll go to the next person Isaiah 24:17 yes ma'am and we'll read through verse 21 fear in the pit and the snare are upon thee Oh inhabitants of the Earth and it shall come to pass that he who flees from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit and he that comes up out of the midst of the pit shall be 62 taken in the snare for the windows from on high are open and the foundations of the earth do shake the Earth is utterly broken down and the Earth is clean dissolved the Earth is moved exceedingly the Earth shall reel and fro like a drunker may I pause and ask everyone what else could make this Earth re to and fro like a drunkard only a nuclear war continue and shall be removed like a cottage and the transgressions thereof shall be heavy upon it and it shall fall and not rise again and it shall come to pass in that day that the Lord shall punish the hosts of the high ones that 63 are on high and the kings of the earth upon the Earth and they shall be gathered together as prisoners and gathered in the pit and shall be shut up in the prison and after many days they shall be visited now let's pause one moment when this nuclear war begins it shall come to pass in that day that that and that day not one second before I need you to understand that God's on a schedule God keeps the holy days the church doesn't but God does and the elect does and the house of Israel the true House of Israel keeps those holy days why we know that he's going to return on 64 schedule we know he says I'm coming back on that particular day not some not I'm sitting up in heaven on my throne and I look at my son and say hey be a good day to go down there and get them go on no no no no no no no they're all sitting in the Heavenly courtroom looking at the calendar what my God from Zion waiting for that day Hallelujah come on hallelujah hallelujah and if you're not looking for that day it's gon to catch you unaware Hallelujah that's why the Bible said Watch and Pray Watch and Pray Hallelujah so that we're not deceived amen that we won't be deceived now 65 listen to what's going to happen when he returns and he gathers all those Nations like prisoners let's read the last verse because here comes that hope one more time read then the moon shall be confounded and the sun ashamed when the Lord of hosts shall reign in the Mount Zion and in Jerusalem and before his ancient gloriously oh when all this happened listen to what he said that's when yua will come down to Jerusalem stand on the Mount of Olives and he's going to rule but listen to who's going to be there oh my God he's going to rule before his Elders gloriously do you know who his Elders 66 are you ever heard of the 24 Elders I don't have time to teach on the elders today it's on my YouTube channel if you don't know who that Elders are that's going to be ruling with him and governing with him then you don't know who you are and you don't understand why you're going through what you're going through you don't understand why you're being tested by fire unlike your neighbors you don't understand why everything comes against you from every direction you don't understand why the potterish turned the fire up on the clay you don't understand it unless you understand that the yua is returning to 67 rule with his Elders gloriously to renew this Earth after nuclear war to the garden for 1,000 years preparing to give it back to God oh Hallelujah W glory to God let's go real quickly uh uh uh who's with me sister Melissa parks would you read for Us in closing Luke 21 verse 9-1 Luke 21 verse 9-1 ladies and gentlemen you're hearing more today then you'll hear all year long probably in the modern church not because I'm against them I'm I'm against lies I'm against lies whether it comes from the Democrats or the Christians I'm against lies whether it comes from the Rhinos or the so-called Christians 68 I'm against lies we pull back the curtain in every area because this truth must be preached to this end time generation L Luke 21 9 through 11 Luke 21 Luke [Music] 20 [Music] one 21 what 11 N I have 9 through what 21 11 11 11 okay that's a little tricky um how about eight okay um it doesn't have just n oh here it is when you hear of wars and uprisings do not be frightened these things must happen first but the end will not come right away now hold on now now wait a minute I thought Jesus could return at any moment I thought he could come at any 69 second according to his own words he cannot come until this sequence of time happens he said when you begin to hear about this coming War don't be afraid for these things must happen first before I return continue reading then he said to them Nation will rise against nation and Kingdom against Kingdom can somebody tell me what that is a euphemism for War World War this is a war of not just one nation and another Nation this is a war where Nation Rise Against nation and kingdoms against kingdoms this is going to be the ultimate World War and it must happen before yua returns next there will be 70 great earthquakes famines p pestilence in various places and fearful events and great signs from Heaven all of these must happen before Yeshua returns notice something that he said there and I'm going to point this out for you in verse number 11 he said and there will be great earthquakes in various places famines and unusual disas diseases that's the word for pestilence unusual viruses diseases that seem to pop up out of nowhere a pestilence is not a sickness sicknesses we expect they're common but pestilences are unusual and notice what it's going to bring when the pestilences come great fear have you ever seen our nation more 71 afraid than it is today we weren't this afraid during World War II this pestilence has brought great fear upon the nation and Jesus said these pestilences what I mean how many of you read Church how many of you read that scripture before and you saw the word pestilences and it didn't really make much sense to you why would we be afraid of pestilences in the Western World in the Modern Age Now how how does that how how uh extreme does that scripture look to you now pestilences that bring fear yeah all right we're gonna we're gonna open it up now for questions you can raise your hand and I'll call on you 72 one by one and uh we'll continue you but that is the end of our lesson today let's raise your hand please um your okay yes ma'am there's a bunch of questions in the uh chat they're asking how they can get the calendar and I believe they want a same copy of your Bible okay so the calendar um if you will email me at brother Von atgma mail.com brother Von gmail.com I will in I will send you the PDF file and then I'll send you the link where you can order that calendar as well all right do we have any questions about today's lesson specifically if we 73 do raise your hand yes uh go ahead Jill unmute yourself now when I say raise your hand folks there's a button somewhere does anybody know where it's at where where you raise your hand on the screen so I can see it it's down at the bottom it looks like a little smiley face smiley face can you okay down at the bottom of your screen where it says reactions yeah okay and it says raise hand all right Folks at the bottom of your screen you'll see the emosi cons click raise my hand and then we'll call on you all right brother uh we've been we've been teaching about the return of the 74 Lord for a while now the church isn't ready for it they they ref they refuse uh some some very dear to me my sister's husband's a pastor you talk to them they would tell you yeah I believe he's coming back but it's maybe not my lifetime there's no prepar ation we have been preparing and we have been teaching and preaching this for some time now wow the question to you is do we still look for the abrahamic Accords to be the beginning of the tribulations or do we not necessarily look because from my understanding of scripture that that is the beginning of the seven years what 75 say it may be the beginning of the s years but I do believe that at this moment we are in the beginning of the of the birth pains if you will of that period of time so yes I do believe the abrahamic Accords uh are a vital part of that but um but it is my belief that with the signs of the time that we are entering now into that that beginning of Sorrow the Bible calls it it may not be the sorrow but it's the beginning of Sorrows and thank y'all Jill you and your husband for teaching this thank you for preaching this thank you and uh 76 don't ever stop the world needs the truth you know many people make fun of me because I buy gold and silver and I I I'm doing many different things to prepare my family for what I believe is coming up on the earth when when our dollar bills will not be worth anything anymore so you know the only ones that's going to be caught unaware is those that are not prepared Noah built the ark he prepared for judgment the Saints of Yahweh need to begin preparing for these days of trouble not fearful we have no fear I don't have fear of covid but I'm not going to come blowing your face 77 either and I don't you blowing in mind it's not that we have fear but there is a preparation and a caution that every one of us should be involved and that's why we started this Patriots Buying Club we're moving our money over to a place to that supports what we believe and our cause we're beginning to move away from mainstream shopping buying and selling uh in preparation of these things amen who else has their hand raised can I say one can I say one thing yes yeah I just want to say we you know we're on a fixed income um with Norm having so many 78 health issues and things but we started a container garden this year and I just wanted to tell people you know that is part of preparing we're yes it's small this year but next year we're going to get bigger but that is something that anybody can do to prepare because it you can get your potatoes your you know anything that you would normally at the store you can substain yourself even if you're you know and we're saving rice and beans and things like that so that that that that is great and we just bought a piece of land for the home of Hope um y'all pray for the home of Hope 79 the the county has given us so much trouble and and let me I'm I'm actually requesting prayer from all of you for for a certain situation when we bought the home of hope I can show you the original ad we got it for $8,000 that 4,000 sqt building to help drug addicts and alcoholism re recover from their addictions we stole that building that's why we bought it we got a 4,000 foot building for $8,000 the ad said that they would move it for $22,000 so uh the Lord provided that $22,000 for us to move the building well the gentleman that was going to move it 80 got out of the moving business and when the week he was supposed to go move it two weeks ago told us he can't do it well we found another mover and the cheapest we can find anybody that will move this building for us is $40,000 and so the enemy has truly attacked that work and so if you know anyone that can move huge buildings please have them call me we need a miracle $18,000 more dollar we it's going to cost us to just to move it so but but the building's worth $300,000 so please be praying with us I'm sorry didn't mean to interject that 81 but I need your prayers I don't talk about these things publicly a lot but with you folks I'm just sharing that need with you all right let's see who else anybody else with your hands raised today oh and as far as a garden we're going to plant a garden out on that property that we purchased it's going to be a huge Garden at the home of hope uh hold on there we go and so the gardening we're going to plant those potatoes those cucumbers those Tomatoes cabbages lettuces we're going to get it to where we can sustain ourself as well anyone else today all right all minds are clear I 82 want to thank you all for joining us today uh did anybody else have got Pastor you got two hands up here at the top I don't see them hold on right up at the very top row where I am Sor okay Rosie unmute yourself Rosie okay I'm here can you hear me I can welcome thank you and thank you for all you're doing and made and I'm praying that we get that money for your home of Hope thank you um verse 20 Matthew 24:24 where it says they shall deceive even the elect and I have a big concern about that only because I don't want to be 83 deceived however then read then read the next two words Behold I have told you before no go back and read the verse you were just reading hold on let's see 24:24 for there shall arise false christs and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders in so much that if it were Possible Oh see see see did you read it if if it were it were possible if you're truly the elect of Yahweh it's not possible to be deceived okay it's not possible let me explain why the Overcomers the 144,000 the elect of Yahweh are walking in the light of the scriptures and therefore we 84 cannot be deceived because we're walking in the light of Truth Now if you have been deceived you're not the elect there's only one group of people on Earth that are not deceived Revelations 12:9 says the whole world is deceived except for the elect of God the fact that you're in this Bible study right now proves to you that you're probably in the elect because that desire for truth the evidence of the Holy Ghost is no gift of the spirit the evidence of the Holy Ghost is your desire for truth that everwing desire for truth because the Bible said the way you'll know you have the Holy Spirit is not by any gift 85 of the spirit but it will be by the fact that he leads you and guide you into all truth not some truth Not Your denomination's Truth not your truth not your religion's truth but into all truth so the fact that you're here today is a great way not to be deceived my sister thank you amen all right Kaye Callie Kayley Callie unmute yourself baby okay Callie okay sorry Calli I have like a comment and a question too um I'm I'm I just used to be an atheist so for me I've been studying the Bible only for the past three years and thank God and the Rapture I 86 learned I heard about it like two years ago so I used to pray like God don't take me because I need to help the people who's here help so that was my I was like that doesn't even make sense why God wants to take the people who can do something about it so okay so my question is because this is probably where not Fe here is like I get worried about my like my family because they don't see what I see and I'm kind of they respect me but I'm kind of like the crazy one who was coming up with we understand trust me so when this time 87 comes how how can we help our family get prepared if they don't believe it and I'm not I'm not gonna Hammer the their head about it but it's how can I help at least all right so the answer some the answer is not pleasant and it if it is my lot many times to tell the truth when it's not pleasant John 644 says that no man can come to the father except the spirit draws them there's nothing you can do in your own flesh to prepare your family Jesus said yua said I've come don't think I came to bring peace he said I came to separate the mothers from 88 their daughters and brother from brother now what did he mean by that because what he meant by that is not everyone is called into the elect but here's what he did say you could do just so you do have hope he said that you could pray for all men that includes your family that the Holy Spirit would draw them so your prayer time needs to be and here I have three sons one of them is not living for the Lord and every day my prayer I don't Hammer this to my son I don't even try to witness to my son no no no no I do 89 what I was commanded to do I go to the father through his son and I ask the father to draw my son I petition for my son for the Holy Spirit to draw them to the father and so that is what you can do you can pray and I've seen this work many times people have called me and said after I prayed that prayer my family began to ask me questions let me say this is how you know when the Holy Spirit is drawing your family and I teach this in my church and many people don't understand why I teach this in our church we do not have many 90 Outreach programs people don't understand why because we believe like Jesus said that you comp pass Land and Sea to convert somebody and when you finally convert them you just convert them to your religion they're twofolds more a child of heav than you were now what we do is we believe that the Holy Spirit brings them and puts them in our pathway and we do what the Bible says be ready to give an answer to every man that ask you of the faith that lies within you so we believe that the Holy Spirit alerts us to someone that he's drawing by the questions that they ask so instead of you going to your 91 family and hounding them and telling them you got to get saved you live such a life in front of them that's totally separate from the world to where the next time you're going shopping with them they ask you this question and the moment they ask you're like thank you Holy Ghost and you're ready to give an answer answer to them about what they ask about your faith okay yeah well they start happening because I used to be of the world and they see they have seen the difference in the past three years so they cannot believe I am who I am today yes however but let's see because I in 92 one year I'm trying God put in my heart to buy a land actually to start growing my own things I'm me like a city girl and um so we're in Tampa we're looking I want to move to Mississippi but my husband is not ready so well we're ready we've got the land ready y'all come on well what I'm gonna do is after the retreat because we rented an RV to come um I'm gonna stop at wav line we're gonna stay two days so we can check it out because God has put it in my heart but he's not there so I don't want to force him so let's I'm 93 gonna keep praying because I know that's where I supposed to go but thank you Pastor he's the head of the home so what we'll start what we what we'll start praying is for the Holy Spirit to to change his heart see that's the powers in prayer the Bible said if you believe when you pray and that's the problem most people pray and don't believe if you believe when you pray not when you pray but if you believe when you pray then whatever you ask the father he'll hear that so go to the father and ask him and believe that he's going to start turning your husband's heart and don't 94 even mention nothing else to your husband all that's going to do is nag him and aggravate him okay you let the Holy Ghost do the work hallelujah thank you thank you all right Lynn welcome hi um somebody wrote in the chat about the 144,000 I was trying to tell them they can go and look on YouTube yes ma'am it is on my YouTube channel search for Shane Von 144,000 I've got about four different videos there where we explain the 144,000 someone asked a question here at from Elizabeth what about the Great Commission go around the world make disciples tell the good news and witness that is a great question let me explain 95 to you about the Great Commission he told them to be a what a witness he didn't tell them to be a hounder he didn't tell them to be uh uh in people's faces no no no he said go and be a witness in other words your life everyone that's around you should witness your separated life the greatest witness is when you look at somebody and say they're different they live for God that's how we witness and we tell the good news to everyone that ask of us us and anyone we We Make Disciples of them but only after the Holy Spirit draws them if you you know I I I go to Bourbon 96 Street and I see people you know trying to witness to these drunk people and and that's wonderful I love those people but the truth is if the Holy Spirit doesn't do the work all of our effort are in vain now you can plant a seed but don't aggravate people about the gospel live it and let them ask you hey what's different about you or let's you know I know do you know when I know that the holy spirit is dealing with my son he will sneak in a question about God he'll say you know something don't make sense to me dad why would God and when I hear the why would 97 God I know right then it's time for that Great Commission to come forth it's time for me to make a disciple it's time for me to tell him the good news why because he asked me because the Holy Spirit prompted that question in his mind and now I can plant that seed with the Great Commission all right anyone else let's see all right all right it looks like all questions are answered let me say this before we go today um every one of you are a vital part of our ministry thank you for being here and uh now
