End Time Nations": Part 15 - Book of Daniel. Pastor. Shane Vaughn

The Vision of Truth: From the Aleph to the Tav (Daniel 7 — End-Time Beasts Revealed) Pastor John Shane Vaughn — First Harvest Ministries International ________________ 1 I don't know about you but I've thoroughly enjoyed what we're learning in the book of Daniel; this week we're going to pick up in chapter 7; remember that there are two books of the Bible that you cannot understand one without the other; does anybody know what those two books are? Daniel and Revelation; you're going to find that there are some things that Yahweh did not reveal to Daniel that he revealed to John; so they are supplementary books; so in order to get a full understanding you've got to compare those two books. 2 When you're studying Daniel 7:1; in the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions in his mind; now I want to answer a question people ask me, what does a vision look like? You may be seated because we're going to be reading a lot today; I want to clarify something: whenever I call somebody out and I say sister I see, as if it were; the truth is I want to explain what that's like because some of you may be having visions but you're scared to step out into that; it is simply in your mind; that's what Daniel said a vision was. 3 It's nothing he saw; I've never seen a vision but I've had many visions; anytime I call somebody out and I say sister or brother I see, it's not that I see see, but it's in my mind; and so when Sister Ruth Heflin was teaching one year about moving in the gifts of the Spirit; also Brother George Guy was one of my fathers in the Lord; many people don't know Brother Guy but he was a prolific prophet of the Lord and had many visions and many prophecies. 4 And when I started traveling with Brother Guy, I was his music minister and I was also his driver; for those of you that look at this pulpit and you see me standing here today, what you don't see is the years that I drove preachers around all over the country; I was their driver; I would drive throughout the night, 3 and 4 in the morning, for Brother Guy to get the man of God to the next service; I was his servant. 5 So many of you walk in on my life and you've walked in on chapter 12 and you judge me by chapter 12; oh, he thinks everybody ought; but see you wasn't there in chapter five, chapter six, whenever I served men of God; and Brother Kendrick, I reaped benefits from that; because little parcels of what they had dropped off on me; hallelujah; amen. 6 I didn't realize it when I was doing it; but little parcels; we'll call it little glory dust that was on their feet; fell on me; I served my, I started off serving my grandmother who was my first pastor; and there was nothing that needed; I wouldn't let her open a door; I was a servant to the woman of God; and then as I moved on in life I lived with Brother Merl Yung; I was in his home for about six months and I served Brother Merl Yung; I served Brother George Guy; I served Sister Jean Holland; I served Brother Jerry Cox; I served Brother Jean Simpkins; I've served Brother Frank Kendrick. 7 I've served anywhere Yahweh has put me; and the reason is because I understand that even though I'm serving expecting nothing, I know I'm getting everything; that's on their life is passing its way down to me; amen; and I said all of that to say that before I started traveling with Brother George Guy I had never, Sister Lydia, moved in the gifts of the Spirit. 8 I was an evangelist and I could preach to the lost and try to get people saved and that was what I was good at; if you will; but I had never moved in the gift of the Spirit until I started traveling with Brother Guy; and Brother George Guy was used heavily in the gifts of the Spirit; and I would watch Brother Guy call people out; literally; I would see miracles; I saw it with my own eyes; I was there. 9 And one day I was driving with Brother Guy late at night, late late at night; I think going to Vider Texas to preach for Brother, anyway, forgotten his name; but I asked Brother Guy; I said Brother Guy, what, what's it like? I mean, what is it; because I mean to tell people their addresses and their names; and I said what, I mean, how do you do that? He said, I said, I said does the Lord just tell you? I mean what? 10 And he said, well son, he said if you want to know the truth, most of the time when I call people out I have no idea what I'm going to say to him; and he said, he said, all I normally get, Elder Baker, is the first word; and I call him out by faith; I walk out on the water and depend on the Lord to know their need; and he said the visions that I have just come to my mind and I step out on faith. 11 And let me say something to you: those that are seeking a deeper walk with God, maybe you're seeking the gifts of the Spirit, maybe you're seeking let's just say the gift of speaking in a heavenly language, speaking in tongues; let me explain something to you if I may; you will never, ever, speak in a heavenly language; you'll never prophesy; you'll never have a word of knowledge; you'll never move in the gifts of the Spirit without taking the first step; never. 12 So if you have said in your mind I'm not going to fake it, I'm not going to speak in tongues; I give you my promise you never will; you never will; if you say I'm not going to fall out in the spirit, I give you my word you never will; why? The Holy Ghost is a gentleman; he doesn't force anything on you at all; do you know what? If I said this morning, Sister Lydia, on my way to church I'm not going to preach today; can I tell y'all something? There would be no preaching. 13 Come on now; because we've all got to start stepping out in the water; hallelujah; step out in the water and start moving in the gifts of the Spirit; Yahweh wants you to speak in a heavenly language; he wants you to prophesy; he wants you to give a word of knowledge; and somebody said, well I'm afraid I might miss it; well, guess what, we'll turn the cameras off for you and let you practice; how about that? You're in a safe house; amen; amen; amen. 14 I'll never forget the first time I got up to preach for Jerry Cox; it was one of my first sermons; and now let me tell y'all something, thank God they didn't have technology back then; oh, thank God; the world was watching like they are right now; I got up to preach; I was 16 years old; and there was a young boy in the church that had just passed away on a tractor; he had had a tractor turned upside down; 16 years old. 15 And I got up preaching; and I was an evangelist; my only goal was to get people to the altar; that was my goal; I was an evangelist; it was to get people to come accept the Lord; well, I get up preaching; and I'm sharing some of my personal private ministry bloopers with you okay; and I'm up preaching, if you're not ready to meet the Lord you're gonna die and go to hell just like Craig did yesterday; and Craig was kin to everybody in the church; oh yeah. 16 And I said all that to say this: my church understood I was a young dumb preacher; amen; my pastor understood it and so they overlooked me; right; the church is a safe place for you to grow in your gifts, to move in your giftings of the Spirit; amen; we need more gifts of the Spirit; but you'll never have them unless number one you desire them; the Bible said earnestly desire the best gifts; you must desire them; you must desire to pray in the Spirit. 17 All you know how easy it is; it takes one prayer: Father, I would love to pray in the Spirit; it's a free gift, he'll give it to you; amen; so Daniel was a man of many gifts; Daniel was a man of many gifts; and one of his gifts was visions; and we're going to be talking today about some of his visions and helping you better understand what we're reading. 18 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream; so that proves to me Yahweh speaks to us through dreams; amen; now, precursor: not every dream is Yahweh speaking; okay? But you've got to discern which ones are just your mind and which one is his mind; normally if they stay with you and you can't shake them, that's his dreams; okay. 19 And I ask the Lord every morning when I wake up I say help me to remember any dream that you gave me; I do that every morning; then he wrote down his dream; sounds like my wife; he went and wrote it down; amen; you need to start practicing that; when Yahweh gives you something start writing it down; beginning the account of these matters Daniel spoke and said, here's what I saw in my vision; and behold the four winds of the heaven broke out upon the great sea. 20 So Daniel is about to explain this great vision; the first thing he saw was wind from the north, south; it was, sounds to me like it was a tumultuous wind; it was all four directions blowing at the same time; it was a turbulent time; and as he looked he said verse three: four great beasts came up from the sea and each was different from the other. 21 Now let's stop there for a moment; the first thing that we need to identify is what he is seeing; to do that we go to Revelation 13 and verse one; Revelation chapter 13 verse 1; read that Elder; and I stood upon the sand of the sea and saw a beast rise up out of the sea having seven heads and 10 horns and upon his horns 10 crowns and upon his heads the name of blasphemy; so both men are having a vision of the exact same thing; four beasts all coming out of the sea. 22 Remember we all dwell in three dimensions; what are they? And the sea; the sea represents the wicked; the earth represents the carnal; the heaven represents the spiritual; so these four beasts are coming out of a very wicked place; the sea always represents vast humanity; that's why the Bible said when the Lord returns there'll be no more sea; does it mean there'll be no more people? But it means there will be no more churning and raging and torment that the sea brings to our world. 23 That's why the Bible said I saw a sea like crystal; you want to see what that looks like? Go out here when there's no wind blowing on the water and let the sun hit that sea of glass and you'll see the sea of glass; calm, peace, tranquility; these beasts always rise up from that raging part of you and the world; that's why you have to be careful of your anger and your frustrations; that's part of that wicked sea that's raging in your life. 24 And Daniel and John both saw these four beasts coming out of that wickedness of the earth; amen; Revelation 17 and verse 15; and by the way the Bible always interprets itself; you never have to wonder what it means; it'll tell you; in verse 15, read; amen; and he saith unto me the waters which thou sawest were, where the, sith, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues; so there's the meaning of the sea; that's what the sea is; lots of wicked people; okay; from every nation, every tribe, every tongue. 25 That is what Daniel is seeing; and that is also parenthetically what the Apostle John is seeing; now these beast nations will rule during what's known as the time of the Gentiles; now what is different about these four beasts and the final kingdom of God that is coming to earth? One originates from the sea and the other originates from the heavens; amen; the kingdoms of this world originate from dog eat dog, from political maneuvering. 26 And if you want to see what the sea looks like go look at Maxine Waters yesterday trying to get into the Department of Education building; amen; you'll see that foaming anger; you'll see the wicked sea; and all of the governments of men come out of that sea; and you always need to make sure that you're not part of the sea, that you are instead that still small pond that is just gentle before the Lord. 27 Now I sent you three graphics, brother; if you'll pull the one up that shows the statue of Daniel; I want to do something today that I pray you'll give me a few minutes to work with you; I want to show you the mistake that I believe most Bible prophecy teachers have made; first of all we know the statue of Daniel, the head of gold. 28 The problem is this: all Christian teachers and all Bible prophecy teachers tell us that the four beasts that Daniel saw are parenthetical to that statue; they tell us that that lion is Babylon just like the head of gold; that the bear is Persia; that Greece is the loins; and that Rome is the legs; that's what if you go to Google and ask them what is the four beasts of Daniel, that's what you'll see; that's what most people believe; and all my life it's what I believed. 29 But something kept gnawing at my gnaw; I kept getting that hint level and I said to myself, why would Daniel have a vision of the exact same thing that Nebuchadnezzar had? Why would we waste the whole book of Daniel to repeat the vision over and over? In other words, can someone explain why Nebuchadnezzar has a dream and then Daniel has the vision of the exact same thing? 30 The problem is these four empires; let's read further in Daniel 7 verse 4; the first was like a lion and had eagle's wings; I beheld until its wings were plucked; it was lifted up from the earth, made to stand upon the feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it; then behold another beast, the second was like a bear; and it raised itself up on one side; it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and they said this to it: arise and devour much flesh. 31 After this I beheld and lo another like a leopard which had four wings like a fowl on its back; this beast also had four heads and it was given authority to rule; after this I saw in the night visions, behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong; it had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke into pieces then trampled the other kingdoms with its feet; it was different from all the beasts that were before it and it had 10 horns. 32 Now I want to share with you I struggled with this interpretation because it just doesn't make sense to me; why would God give Daniel the exact vision he gave Nebuchadnezzar? But see the Bible says that the book of Daniel was to be sealed up; it was for an end-time generation; well, how many knows that Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome is not in time? Those are old times; but the book of Daniel is for the times. 33 So we need to look at Daniel again and find out who these beasts are in the end times; now Daniel chapter 7 where we're reading now is speaking about the end times; remember Nebuchadnezzar's vision is in Daniel chapter 2; we do not have the same vision going on that Nebuchadnezzar had; now Babylon no longer exists as a nation; Medo-Persia no longer exists; Greece no longer exists. 34 But according to Daniel 7 and 12, let's read about these beasts; as concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their governments taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time; now here's the problem with verse 12; according to verse 12 and when we get down to verse seven and 8 you're going to find out that this is all talking about the coming of the Lord. 35 And after the coming of the Lord the Bible says those beasts' power was taken away; how could that be if that was Babylon, Greece, Medo-Persia? How could this have anything to do with taking their power away at the coming of the Lord? So I don't believe for one minute what the whole world believes about these beasts; I believe they are governments of the end time that will be in position and their governments will be taken away at the coming of the Lord. 36 But there is an interesting part of that verse; it says yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time; last week I taught you that in 2014 their authority was taken away but yet their lives are being prolonged during the transition period; did anybody catch that? The Dominion mandate has been handed to the saints of Yahweh; we are in that transition now. 37 According to the divine court, all these beasts have been declared that their reign, their 2,520 years, is over; and we're now in the transition period; that's why that verse says their government, their authority, is taken away but yet they, the government doesn't disappear from the earth; I need you to follow me now; they're prolonged while Yahweh gets a government ready to replace them. 38 How anybody could think this is Persia, I don't understand it, because this is all about the end time; completely, 100% about the end time. 39 Now as we continue, let's look at Daniel 7:17; these great beasts which are four are four kings which shall arise out of the earth; you saw that, Sister Sarah? You saw that, Minister? Well, Babylon had already risen and Darius had just taken over; and so this says those four kings shall arise; evidently this is not Babylon; this is not Persia; this is another four kingdoms that shall arise at the end time. 40 Now let's go to the book of Revelation chapter 13 and we're going to find out that these are for the end time and I've got to establish this tonight, today, so you'll understand where I'm going; Revelation 13:1-3; amen; and I stood upon the sand of the sea and saw a beast rise out of the sea having seven heads and 10 horns and upon his horns 10 crowns and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 41 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard; now hold on; these are the exact same beasts; John is telling us about them in the end time; amen; all right; read; and his feet were as the feet of a bear; so there's your bear; we just had the leopard, the bear; now read; and his mouth as the mouth of a lion; the mouth of a lion; there's your lion. 42 These are the same four beasts; read; and the dragon gave him his power and his seat and great authority; now there's that fourth beast, the dragon; now be very careful; many people think that Satan is the dragon; he is in one instance; but this particular fourth beast that Daniel couldn't quite describe what it was, John calls it a dragon; and so we know that this dragon is what's giving power and great authority to all of these end-time governments; it's greater than all those governments. 43 Now I know it's a little boring for some of you right now; I can deal with that; but you've got to follow me because we're showing you what time we're living in; those four beasts, three we can identify; we know who they are; the fourth one is a mysterious little creature but he's not mysterious to some of us; amen; now our beasts are mentioned in Revelation 13 for modern end times. 44 I want you to notice that these beasts, watch this, notice this carefully: Daniel saw four beasts but John sees one beast with four; in other words, two birds of a feather if you will; it's all part of the dragon; wow; you may say you're one nation and another nation but at the end of the day they're all controlled by false religion; they're all empowered by a false religious system; they all answer to a false religious system right now. 45 Let's read about that; notice what he says; I, John, saw a beast; now let's count the heads; when you count the heads in Daniel's beasts you get one head for the lion, you see that up there; one head for the bear; four heads for the leopard; and one for the dreadful beast; now go to Revelation 13 and tell me how many heads you got; how many do you have in Daniel? Four, five, six, seven; same beast; count them. 46 Daniel said I saw a beast rise up having seven heads; there's the seven heads; the leopard has four heads and there's a reason for that; because Germany has four reiches; Hitler was the Third Reich; the fourth Reich is now four heads but it's one beast, one system; and they all answer to that one false religious power. 47 Let's go back to Daniel now, 7 and verse 7; and we'll pick up there; after this I saw in the night vision a fourth beast, dreadful, terrible and stronger than all the others; and it had great, what kind of teeth? What empire was in the iron legs? Rome; this beast is still the iron beast; he's got iron teeth; and he still is stronger than every government on planet Earth. 48 Did you know, my beloved friend, that there is no government on planet Earth more powerful than the Holy Roman See? They have the largest real estate holdings in the world; did you know, Brother Cunningham, that if you took all of the land that the Holy See owns it would fill up the state of Texas? They're the largest land owners in the world; he is the only man that has an army in every city of the world that would rise to defend the Holy Father; every government on earth is beholden to the power of this beast. 49 Verse seven: it trampled the rest with its feet; but notice this: it was different from the other political systems or the other beasts; it was different; the others were kingdoms; and we're going to identify those kingdoms for you; the first kingdom is Great Britain; pull up those other images, brother; I'll show you the image that is Great Britain; that's exactly what Daniel saw. 50 Go to the next one; that is in Great Britain today; that is their national symbol; the lion with the wings; but Daniel said I saw something happen; I saw the wings separate from that lion and stand up on its own and I put the heart of a man, a caring heart, into that creature with the wings; 1776; those wings broke off from that lion and became the United States of America; that stood up on its own as its own person, its own entity. 51 Now I didn't bring all the other images but it goes without saying that Russia, Gog, there it is, and it goes forth to devour; it got Kosovo and it's going after Ukraine and it's going after all of those provinces; the three ribs in its mouth is the symbol of its desire for the Soviet Union to continue adding to its territory. 52 Now the leopard; the Bible refers to that leopard as being swift; and we know that that leopard is indeed Germany; that's why I've been telling you in my Toto classes for four years, watch Germany, sir; that little quiet Germany; wake up everybody, watch Germany; because it is part; you would think Germany would never show its face again; oh, but it is; it's going to become the savior in the Middle East; it's going to become the one that runs to their aid in the Middle East. 53 Now, all of these; I want you to see: Daniel saw the day and age of Great Britain, the United States of America, Germany; and he saw that there was another beast that would control all of them; and that was false religion; now guess what happened in 2014? All of those kingdoms' time ran out. 54 Bring me my board; thank you Elder; I want to make this as plain as I can because sometimes I feel like we don't grasp it; thank you; 1960, 1960, 1960; jubilees; that's jubilees; 49 jubilees; 40 jubilees times 49; that's 1,960 years; eventually you run out of years; time is on a straight line; it's called the time-space continuum. 55 When you run out of seven days or six days you're out; and you can only fit so many of these on that timeline; and yet you won't hear one Christian church teaching this today; I'll give you; I ain't gonna give you nothing; go look and you won't find one teaching on the end time; why? Nobody cares; they just want to hear how they gonna make it through next week; your problem is next week; that's all you see is next week; I'm trying to turn you into a watcher and a visionary to see what time it is in the eternal plans of God. 56 If you'd get your eyes on this timeline yours wouldn't matter anymore; amen; we only have this; this brought us to who? The first Jubilee brought us to who? Abraham; Passover; the next one brought us to who? Christ; that's Pentecost; this one brings us to the Millennium; the punishment for these end-time nations is 2,520 years; that has ended, children. 57 Now that means to me they're right to; why do you think the whole world's in such a mess? Why do you think; right; do you know Germany right now can't even keep a government? Do you know how many times they've had a prime minister turn? The world is becoming ungovernable; I told my mother that yesterday; we were talking and we were of course having our Trump fight like we always do; and I said Mom, I said America is to the point of ungovernability. 58 You cannot govern a divided nation; it's impossible; the republic is about to fall; mark my words; listen to me: when you've got half of a nation against the other half; it didn't used to be that way; there used to be agreement, disagreement, and a little bit of well that's my guy; but now you've got the other side wanting to burn the other side down; whatever side it is; there is no more ability to govern. 59 The world's falling apart; I; do you know why President Trump is fixing to take over Gaza? It's ungovernable; nobody can govern it; why? Their authority to govern has been taken away; yes sir; the kingdoms of this world are transitioning into the new kingdom; hallelujah; hallelujah; it's a beautiful thing, is it not? 60 And Yahweh right now has called some of you into college; amen; he has called some of you; Brother V, why don't y'all try to reach the lost? I hate to tell you something; I hate to break the bad news to you; that day is over; that's right; the day of evangelism; we're in the days now of transition, sir; the day, the night has come; we're in the twilight; we're moving now into perfection. 61 Yes sir; for 2,000 years we've been calling them in; but now he's calling them out; and now he's saying I'm preparing a government that will rule in a very short amount of time; that's why he tells us don't play around; you're running out of time; amen. 62 Now let's go and read Daniel verse 8, chapter 7; Daniel said I considered the horns and behold there came up among them a little horn; now first of all the 10 horns in the end times are the 10 toes; it's the 10 tribes of Israel; okay; however those 10 tribes have been affected by the little horn; they were swallowed up by the little horn; the Catholic church; that's right. 63 Some of y'all look lost as you can be; I'm so sorry; I didn't even want to teach cuz I knew it was going to get so deep today; but I pray you'll stay with me; amen; I considered the horns and behold there came up among them another little horn; before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots; and behold in this horn that I saw was eyes like the eyes of a man and it had a mouth speaking great things. 64 Now if you want to know who that mouth is let's go to Revelation 13 verse five and verse six; Elder, you're going to find the same horn, the same mouth, and you're going to find what it was speaking; amen; and there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemy; there's your little horn; there's your little horn; same one; amen; and he had a mouth; in other words he had a pulpit. 65 Wow; come on pastor; I'm gonna feel like preaching in a minute; this is true; he had a pulpit; hallelujah; he was given a platform; amen; to speak great words; that's true; just like the snake in the garden that had a platform speaking great words; oh yes; exalting himself against Yahweh. 66 And he was speaking arrogant words; amen; you know, words like we are the eternal city; right? Rome calls itself the eternal city; how are you the eternal city? Come on; are you the eternal God? Oh maybe they think they are; I bet they do; this beast will speak arrogant words; it will say that it has the power to indulge sin; it has the power to change the Sabbath day to Sunday; it has the power to replace Passover with Ishtar Sunday; it will speak braggadocious, exalted words to the 10 horns. 67 It will be so effective it will literally pluck up three of those horns and nearly destroy them; it's what it's been doing for 2,000 years; Daniel saw a preaching horn; it was given a mouth to speak to the horns; the 10 horns are those lost children of Israel that wound up joining the Catholic church cuz they didn't know who they were; and they almost got plucked up by the roots; they didn't know who they were; they got brought into the false doctrine, brought into these false teachings under that little horn. 68 Hallelujah; make it make sense, pastor; and Daniel said this horn wasn't like Great Britain, America, Russia, Germany; it didn't have a government like that; it wasn't a world empire if you will; but it was; but it wasn't set up like those beasts; this one was exceedingly great; this one had power to seduce all of those other beasts and absorb those nations into its power. 69 That's why most people don't understand when you're watching movies about the house of Tudor; you're watching movies from that period of time; whenever King James pulled England out of the Catholic church and created the Church of England, that was the beginning of the deliverance of the 10 tribes of Israel from the stronghold of that Dragon; Yahweh used the man to begin; I hope you see now; King James was nothing good about him; he left to marry another woman that he wasn't supposed to marry; but I love how God takes a mess and uses it for the message; hallelujah; glory. 70 Now from this little horn, verse five, we're still in Revelation; and authority to act for 42 months was given unto him; now does anybody know how long 42 months is? Two and a half years; and if you put that in prophetic time, 360 days to a year; and by the way, that's 42 months; that's why on the Zedakite calendar, that is the only calendar in the world that will give you 1,260 days in a 42-month period; and so that's why we're on that calendar. 71 Now watch this; verse six; and he opened his mouth for those 42 months; he opened his mouth in blasphemy against Yahweh; to blaspheme first of all his name; this little horn would start preaching and take another God and put him in the Tabernacle, set him up like God, and say that man is God; and then take the name of our God from the mouth of the church and replace it with the word God. 72 You know what I don't understand about my predecessors? Here's what I don't quite grasp; we were real big on the name; don't baptize in the titles Father, Son, Holy Ghost; but you dare try to talk to them about God being a title? Oh well, you know, we ain't going there; of course we're not; because you don't want to go all the way; Yahweh is his name; and that demon came and took his name out of the church. 73 But I'm happy to report to you today I'm living in an hour where that name is no longer being blasphemed; it's no longer being robbed from the Tabernacle; it has been restored; I'm living in that hour; I realize people don't have our knowledge; I have mercy on people; but in this house, as for me and my house, we know the name; we declare the name; we have helped to restore the name; that's the hour we're living in. 74 Wow; how many of you, 20 years ago; you know what surprised me about even Brother Herbert Armstrong? God gave him so much revelation; yet he stood in defiance of the name; blows my mind; blows my mind; now I admire Mr. Armstrong but I still; and my mind is blown at the generation before me; if you; now it's, I'm seeing churches start to let it slip out; we was pioneering but they're starting to let it slip out. 75 You know why? We was right; y'all was wrong; hallelujah; I Told You So; and yeah I'm saying it; you know why? Because there's a lot more we're right about that you need to listen to; hallelujah; that's why God told me to sing I Told You So. 76 The Bible said if a man gets it right one time you may want to listen to that man; do you know what gave Professor Toto credibility? When I looked at the camera and I said to the whole world, that Newsweek, everybody thought I was crazy, and I said presidential elections are not decided at the election, they're decided on January the 6th; the next morning every scholar said I was wrong. 77 If I'm going to brag and you can put up with it or turn me off, but I'm coming to give God the glory for what he has done; I know who we are; they said the next morning; go, all you got to do is go Google it; go Google it; go Google it; go find every article they wrote about me; I was fact-checked on Facebook. 78 The very girl that fact-checked me is now a member of this church cuz she found out I was right; Lana, if she's watching me right now, she was assigned as my fact-checker; but there's a problem: if you're a real fact-checker, when you find the facts you've got to go by them; I'm glad I'm a fact-checker; they said I was wrong; they said never; it's never happened; it will never happen; they called scholars, lawyers. 79 You know why I say that? You know why I'll never stop saying it? Because when you've been given credibility, use it; amen; this ministry has been given credibility; we have never under Professor Toto or Pastor V had to backtrack on one of our teachings or one of our doctrines because they are planted in truth; right; that's why Yahweh has blessed us; right. 80 And then when January the 6th happened exactly as we said it would, we told them that's when the election will be decided, that's when it was decided; we had hoped that Mike Pence would do the right thing but he didn't; and to God be the glory, cuz we wouldn't be seeing what we're seeing right now if Mike Pence would have done what he was supposed to do. 81 The next day I didn't run from a camera; I was back on a camera and I said the lion will roar in 24; we were right; you were wrong; why? It's called credibility; and then I will never forget when I got a phone call one day from a news reporter and said may I interview you; and I said absolutely; he said, so you really think these exemption letters are going to work? Come on, come on. 82 I said I know they will; come on, come on; he said, well, the reason I'm calling you, there was a lawsuit that was just settled in Yankee country, maybe Connecticut; there was a girl that went to college, a university there, and she brought them one of your exemption letters and they denied it; and he said I was in a courtroom today where she won millions of dollars with your letter before a judge; and he said that's why I'm calling you. 83 Why? Because we preach truth; that young lady defeated a university from a little simple Mississippi preacher's letter; that's right; why? This ministry is more than you understand; this is not a church; this is a movement; this is an end-time movement; and God has given us credibility; and when Donald Trump was restored to the White House it gave us all the credibility we ever needed. 84 But Yahweh gave us that credibility not for the political side; but there were actually some people that said, you know what, that dude's pretty smart; if he was right about that, what else could he be right about? Today we call those people family; First Harvest Ministries all over the world; why? Because it's a movement; it's not a moment; it's a movement. 85 And why we've been called to overcome this dragon; right; to overcome the lies, the doctrinal lies; hallelujah; he opened his mouth and blasphemies against Yahweh; blasphemed his name and his Tabernacle; those who dwell in heaven; that's your songs of the Sabbath sacrifice; there's your heavenly Tabernacle with those angels in that Tabernacle; hallelujah. 86 Now let's go back to Daniel 7, pick up at verse 9; now all of this happens until verse 9; I beheld until another set of thrones was set in place; hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah; where's your beast at? Where's that bad dragon you just saw, Daniel? He said I kept watching until I saw another set of thrones being set up. 87 My friend, if anybody tells you there's only one throne in heaven you tell them they're liars; oh no, no, there's at least 144,000 thrones in the kingdom of God; he said I kept watching and suddenly that dragon didn't look so bad; that little horn didn't seem so big; that bear didn't seem so rough; that lion didn't seem so tough; I watched, I watched, and I saw. 88 Hallelujah; hallelujah; if you'd have caught me 50 pounds lighter that's how I used to preach every service; that non-stop; hallelujah; I kept watching; somebody say I kept watching; and I saw some shuffling around going on; I saw King Charles's throne being replaced with a new set of thrones; I saw the White House; a new set of thrones; I looked at the Kremlin and I saw a new set of thrones; I kept watching to see what the end was going to be. 89 Woo; I didn't get discouraged by the bear; oh, I didn't get discouraged by the lion; I didn't get discouraged by the sea; I kept watching so I could see; hallelujah; and I saw a new set of thrones; and then I saw the Ancient of Days; he sat on a throne; now his vesture was white as snow; the hair of his head was like pure wool; his throne was like the fiery flame and his wheels as a burning fire; a fiery stream issued and came forth from before him. 90 I want you to hear me; what I'm about to tell you now; Daniel doesn't break this down quite as good as John does; so we're going to veer over and let John help us now; we're going to go to Revelation chapter 20 and start at verse one; now here's the problem: many people don't understand that Daniel said I saw a set of thrones and then he said I saw the Ancient of Days come and sit on a throne; what he didn't tell you is that that one verse is a thousand years apart from one another. 91 Amen; in other words he didn't need to tell you that cuz John was going to tell you; the Holy Ghost wrote these books; John said I saw a set of thrones set up and then I saw; but he didn't tell you there's a thousand years between the first set of thrones and the Ancient of Days; but John does; Revelation 20:1-2; I'm ready. 92 And I saw an angel come down from heaven having the keys of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand; and he laid hold on that dragon, the old serpent which is the devil and Satan; now is that that one that Daniel said was so big and bad, that it was so horrible? And come on now; Daniel said I never seen a dragon like that one; right? But here I'm reading about a little angel come on that come and got a hold of that dragon. 93 Come on; hallelujah; I promise you, if you believe this book like I believe it, I believe it, tomorrow don't matter; come on; the next day don't matter; I've read the back of the book; I took a peek and I saw that no matter how big this dragon grows it's got to go; I saw where it's leaving here; I can't be afraid of the arrows by day and the terror by night; I've seen the back of the book; woo; blessed be God Almighty Yahweh. 94 Read; hallelujah; woo; and bound him a thousand years; uhhuh; and cast him into the bottomless pit and shut him up and set a seal upon him that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years should be fulfilled; okay; now that right there is what Daniel saw when he saw a new set of thrones; that's what he saw. 95 Until they be fulfilled; a thousand years; now read; and after that he must be loosed for a short season; and after that, that dragon is released back up on the earth; that false religion back up on the earth; to see if those millennium saints were taught well by the First Harvest Ministries; hallelujah. 96 To see if the First Harvest had taught them; now you see why; hold on; oh thank you Lord; oh the Lord just spoke to me; he said now that's why I allow the dragon to come against First Harvest Ministries the way I do; to prove if you have been taught well; oh; to prove if you have been taught well by your shepherd; to test if you have been taught well to stand when that dragon is loosed for a little while. 97 What's that dragon going to do? He opens his mouth; he speaks all the time; running his mouth; God said I'll let it loose to see if you are who you say you are; read verse four; and I saw thrones; wait; I saw thrones; those thrones had already been established a thousand years earlier; those thrones are shuffling right now getting ready for the coming of Yahweh. 98 Read; and they that sat upon them; they; who are they? I'm one of them; they; didn't Daniel say after that dragon is locked up that the thrones will be set in place? And they; we're going to find out who they are in just a second; they sat on those thrones; I'm going to tell you something, saints; listen to me and listen well. 99 You're right, Brother Shepherd, he's excited back there; hallelujah; hallelujah; he's pointing right here; hallelujah; let me explain something to all of you; if you saw your future there would be nothing in this world that could turn your eyes; but there's a problem: some of you don't have eyes of the spirit; you can't see it; oh oh, but for those that can; hallelujah. 100 Hallelujah; those that can, you can rest assured your tomorrow is already promised; hallelujah; hallelujah; read Elder; tell us where you're at; verse four; and they that sat upon them and judgment was given unto them; uh-oh; uh-oh; judgment is given to these people. 101 Amen; and by the way, it's being given to people that have been taught, thou shalt not judge; judge men and angels; I want you to hear me cuz that don't bother you; it should; it don't bother you; the very purpose of your struggles and your trials is to judge the world; and you take great pride in saying now I don't judge nobody; that's your purpose; that's your purpose; what do you mean you don't judge nobody? The Bible said you better judge every tree by that wicked fruit it bears. 102 The next time somebody tells you I don't judge nobody; shame on you; oh but Jesus; you don't know what he said; don't start; I don't have time; but that ain't what he said; he said make sure that that same judgment, which is the word of Yahweh, you're willing to surrender to it yourself; hallelujah. 103 And then in the same chapter he said to beware of false prophets; well, how do you beware of false prophets if you don't judge? I love Sister C; people say I don't judge; and I'm like, well look, just let your little granddaughter go home with that dude right over there tonight; why not? No way; judging? Are you judging him? You better believe I am. 104 Condemning is not the same as judging; okay? We're not condemning nobody; but we're judging everybody; the Bible said if it walks like a; that's why I'll tell you, Mr. transgender, no, you're a man with a wig on; I have judged you; you're keeping the wig business in business, that's all; I want to say something else but I'm on live. 105 Yeah; the same people who say not to judge; because my brother said that to me; I say hold on, you can judge, not condemn; however you're already condemning President Trump; oh yes; they; that's hypocrisy; but they tell us not to judge but they've judged Trump all day; the truth is you're being trained how to judge; now we don't judge by the seeing of the eye or the hearing of the ear but by discernment of the spirit. 106 There are some people that walk in these doors that I know the minute they walk in; I want to find out who invited them because I'm like, what were you thinking? You know why? I discern by the spirit; that rebellion, that Jezebel, that witchcraft; it hides under many times under the scriptural knowledge that they have; some of the scariest people to me are people that know the Bible. 107 Oh yeah; they're able to hide their witchcraft; I'd rather my good friend Jennifer in town who is a witch walk in here and have church with us; oh, I'm not scared of her; I know what she is; uhhuh; it's them that I can't; why? Brothers and sisters, I'm trying to make a point: judgment is being given to you; and you're being told not to judge; who do you think taught you that? The Antichrist; the Antichrist taught you that; why? So that you wouldn't know him when he walked in the door. 108 True judgment; do you know, did you know that judgment is being given to the saints? Do you know that's why the Apostle Paul was so heartbroken, Sister Lydia? He wrote the Corinthian Church; he said I've heard something; I've heard that y'all are going before the public with church business; he said I heard some of you are going to court with your brothers before unjust judges instead of judging these matters privately. 109 The Apostle Paul was heartbroken that the matters of the church were being, that's why I stood in defense of Joanie Lamb; not because I know Joanie Lamb and not because I believe she's right; I have no idea; I stood up for that woman not for her; I stood against exposing the work of God before vultures and before the evil of this world; amen. 110 There is a proper protocol in Yahweh's family and it's never before the public; ever; the Apostle Paul said I'm ashamed of you; he said did nobody tell you that you're going to judge the world? And yet you can't even get together and hear both sides of an issue and make a judgment; he said who has bewitched you; who has done this to you? 111 That you act like you've got to get on YouTube or Facebook before the world that hates the church; don't you know they hate the church? And you bring them fodder to make them hate the church even more; you bring them the latest gossip so that they can run God's church down even more; Paul said shame on you; he said do you not know how you handle these matters? He said you do it privately. 112 But you see, if you're part of that sea creature you love the drama of public; it feeds you in some weird way; it feeds your sea dragon; stirring up instead of calming down; do you not know? He said something else too; he said did nobody teach you that you're going to even judge angels? 113 Did y'all know this is in y'all's Bible? Okay; y'all act like I'm talking in tongues; it's in your Bible; have you ever; I want to take a moment of silence like we do for dead folks; I want to take a moment of silence and for you to think about that; you're going to judge angels; amen; no; a moment of silence; Sarah, you failed; hallelujah; never; it's heartbreaking. 114 You're going to judge angels; now you see why I was teaching last night; he said don't eat the fruit because you'll become as the evil gods yourself; you won't be able to judge them; amen; yes sir; cuz you'll act just like them; brute beasts, wandering stars, clouds without water, despisers of government; yes sir; make sure that you're going to be able to judge them. 115 How do I do that, Pastor? By being the total opposite of them; right; think about it; do we let a murderer sit on the judges' bench and judge us for murder? No; he's got to not be a murderer; how are you going to judge those fallen angels? You're not judging Yahweh's angels; you're going to judge the fallen angels; how? Because they must be the same; do you know why? Do you know why the angels, have you ever wondered why they're not in hell right now? 116 Why did God cast them to the earth? Why not throw them straight in hell? Why, God? Because he is a just God; they get a court date just like you do; and there's going to be witnesses there that day; a great cloud of them that's going to stand as total opposites, as humans, of what those fallen angels did; and Yahweh will say, you are my witnesses against these fallen angels; send them to hell. 117 Does anybody understand the depth of the teaching you get here? How Yahweh feeds us this depth of his word; there's going to be witnesses, Sister Lydia, again, against them; that's right; that's why Paul told the ladies in the sanctuary to remind them to be submitted to the men; you know why I told them that? Because of the angels; because you've got to judge them; and if you don't submit to your husband you can't judge them for not submitting to God. 118 Nobody's hearing me today; yeah; how are you going to judge when you allow no man to have authority over you? You're guilty of despising government; yes sir; let me tell all of you something; you can mistake my love of order for Trump worship; but what you don't understand is: Donald Trump doesn't put his pants on like I do; he's the president, legitimate president, duly elected with no questions about it, of the United States; he is my president; he doesn't put his pants on like I do. 119 You know why? You know why I preach this every sermon? Pastor, it's all you talk about; you know why? Because it's the only thing you can't overcome; that's right; and I'm gonna preach it till I put you in the grave or you put me in there; because one day, Sister Carolyn, you've got to judge rebellious angels; yeah; what are you gonna judge them with? Your rebellion? That's right; oh, Yahweh hates rebellion; he despises it. 120 He despises it; on your jobs, you work for somebody, Brother Daman; that man is your master; right; you go to the bathroom when he says you can; you leave when he tells you to leave; and you say yes sir the whole time; why? That man is unto you as unto the Lord; amen; that's true; I don't care if he's mean, ugly, rude; as long as you choose him for your master; that's right. 121 Now for people that; what about, what about? No; if he tells you you can't honor the Yahweh Sabbath, you tell him have a great day; I've got to have a master that obeys a master; okay; but we walk in obedience because, Elder Bets, we're going to judge the angels. 122 I look today at some of you ladies; some of you sisters as you were draped with a covering; and many people make fun of us for that; and I understand that you can't help stupidity; but we understand our ignorance, we understand the symbology, and we understand that we will become an obedient people; whatever it takes; whatever it takes, we will become an obedient people; we will submit because we're going to judge rebellious angels. 123 I want you to think about it; one day, Elder Tuttle, your life, Elder Tuttle, is going to be what condemns rebellious angels; that's right; amen; now if your life doesn't amount up to that you won't be in that first resurrection to judge angels; but there are some people. 124 I watched one of them about 30 days ago; my father-in-law; I watched as we were all dealing with emotional torment, all the what ifs and the whys and the you know, all the unanswered questions; and I would watch Daddy; I would watch; he would never let that get in his heart; he would say oh we just got to pray for him; and there were a few times I wasn't trying to hear that; come on. 125 Oh, Daddy gets nervous when things get out of spiritual order; amen; you know why? I believe that life is going to judge one of those rebellious angels; I believe that with all my heart; I believe at the judgment the Father will call him forward and when Satan says all I did was rebel he will be able to say I have a mountain full that never did; hallelujah. 126 I know it's late; I don't even care; why? I'm in another realm right now; I'm talking to you from a different place; I'm calling Yahweh's people around the world: rise up from your rebellion; repent unto Yahweh; surrender your ways unto him that you might be counted worthy to sit on these thrones; how hard is it to obey Yahweh? His burden is easy; his yoke is light. 127 I think I'll stop right there; I had a long way to go but I think we've gotten to the point; let us all walk humbly before him; if my wife will come this morning; hallelujah; there's so much more; we'll get to hopefully next week; praise the name of the Lord; how many in this room today want to be totally submitted, totally submitted, to the will of my Father in Heaven? Hallelujah; hallelujah; hallelujah; hallelujah. 128 Let's all come forward this morning; let's stand as one temple; hallelujah; I'm going back to the heart of worship; and it's all about you; it's all about you, Yahweh; and then after worship, what a healing Yeshua, I have found in you; you restore, refresh, renew; you're my healing Yeshua; for such a time as this, arise on healing; arise, son of righteousness. 129 Healing wings flutter over me; healing wind; as the angels hover near; his healing is here; there's healing in this house; Bishop Kendrick; hallelujah; thank you Pastor.
