Victory By Vision - Part 2 - Pastor. Shane Vaughn 2/2/24

The Vision of Truth: From the Aleph to the Tav Pastor John Shane Vaughn — First Harvest Ministries International ________________ 1 Yes, and I'm going to pick up there on part two of that tonight; but our vision, the way we look at the things of God, amen, will affect how we live for God, amen, and that is so important; if you'll remember last week I told you that the Hebrew word for truth is emet; now the first word of the Hebrew alphabet is the aleph, the last word is the tav; yes, now the mem in the middle, the Hebrew word is mem. 2 That's it's funny to me that truth, if you've got the beginning right but the ending wrong you don't have truth, right; if you've got the ending right but the beginning's wrong you don't have truth; if the beginning is right and the end is right but the middle is wrong you don't have truth; that's right; your job as a believer is to get the beginning right, the end right, and then come to church every Sabbath and get the middle right; that's right; amen. 3 That's when you're walking in truth; now here's the sad part about it; yes sir; did you have something to say? I was just seeing that in the middle, get me right; that's right; me, me, get me right; exactly; hallelujah; now most Christians, and all of us that came out of Christianity, we were only concerned about the end, the end, the end; that's right; about the beginning, nobody cared about the beginning; that's right. 4 And you couldn't care about the middle because what is it that God gave you to teach you about the middle? The beginning, beginning and the Torah; that's right; okay; you don't need instructions for the beginning and you don't need instructions for the end, you need instructions for the middle; meet me in the middle; you need instructions for the middle; the middle is where we are; all right, this is the part the church doesn't care about. 5 I need instructions; amen; the church don't care about the middle, right; because when you got saved they fast forwarded you right to the end; amen; right; yeah; at the altar call the only reason you came to the altar was not to do anything about the middle; that's right; you just wanted that free ticket into heaven at the end; all right; what's the difference in First Harvest and the other churches? We get you middle right; and if you get the middle right you'll get the beginning and the end right; all right; so that's called searching for truth, getting it all right. 6 That's why doctrine, Sister Chelsea, is so important; four square; it's got to be four square because if not you'll go to churches; there are two types of churches; there are Spirit churches, it's all about an experience with God, right, that's all it is, it's an experience that you can feel, and there is nothing wrong with that; okay, I thank God that I can feel God; all right; then there's other churches that it's nothing but study; you know what every Hebrew letter means but they couldn't pray in the spirit if they had both. 7 Churches without the other, that's right, is not truth; come on; our job is to find it all; we are literally on a journey, Elder Call, to get it all right; yes sir; here's why, Sister Justina, does it really matter, Pastor, the things y'all teach at that church, does it really matter? And here's their question about my salvation; if you ever want to meet an immature Christian you just met one; that's right; immature Christians are worried about the salvation that's right at the end. 8 But they don't understand what we're teaching has nothing to do with the end; it has to do with the middle; that's right; and then the end will take care of itself if the middle's right; amen; right; so in this ministry we do a lot of middle stuff; that may not matter, like what happens to the dead; does that, let me tell you why that matters; because if you don't get that doctrine right you'll get your rapture doctrine wrong and then you'll get your heaven doctrine, and before you know it; so in this ministry you've got to build, Brother Gonzalez. 9 We take it and we build a building of truth; yes; build; and that's not easy to do because I have to teach for hours; that's why I'm the longest winded preacher you have ever heard; I don't get the privilege of coming up here preaching you a motivational sermon and telling you everything's going to be all right and go home in 30 minutes; I wish I could; but I've got a field to plow and it's new ground and I'm speaking to thousands of people that I'm having to unploy old ground and it's not easy to do. 10 And all you ministers here, you're going to have to learn to plow up old ground; see, I'm so Pentecostal in my background that I just want to get up here and rump and snort it; I can do it, right, I promise you ain't no camp meeting I couldn't preach; I know how to rump and snort, I love to do it, right; but the problem is while you're romping and snorting if you're not bringing people into more truth every time you preach all you've done is given them a motivational seminar; we're here to build a doctrine church, one that'll stand; amen. 11 Proverbs 29 and we'll pick up there verse number 18; I'm sorry, verse 18; Proverbs 29:18; where there is no vision, where there is no certain way of seeing things, that's what vision means, it's a certain way you see things; that's right; Brother Kent sees things from a Kent mindset; yes sir; Brother Kendrick sees things from a Kendrick mindset; yes sir; I see things from a Vine Gatlin mindset, the way I was raised; that's right; we all have our way. 12 Brother, you have a Hispanic way of looking at things, you do as well; we have American ways which is a little different; you know what I mean by that is southern; you know, southern white folks might as well just say it for what it is, right; okay, right; and Yankees, and everybody's got their way, their prism that they see through, sir; women look at things totally different, totally different; so what do you need as an Israelite? You've got to get an Israelite way of looking at things; amen; and that's the vision that I'm trying to teach you tonight. 13 So without verse 18, where there is no certain way of looking at things the people, well that's not a good word, the people become unbridled, they become too loose, they become too free, too much grace, it gets greasy; where there's no certain way of looking at things you become unbridled and God cannot use you in the to, in the end; see, we got to go tonight, we're going to go all the way back to the beginning and take it to the end and everything in between; hallelujah, hallelujah. 14 But he that keepeth the Torah, he will not become unbridled, he won't become too loose, too free, he'll balance it out; tonight our job is to correct our way of seeing things from Christianity to an Israelite; yes; okay; now turn with me to First Timothy and we're going to start at the beginning by going to the back of the book; 1 Timothy 2 and verse 12; I want to give you fair warning tonight, you'll have to get your chips off your shoulders and your emotions off your shoulder tonight because I'm going to walk on a few of those feelings with the word of God. 15 1 Timothy 2, start at 11; let the woman learn in silence with all subjection; for I do not suffer a woman to teach nor to usurp authority over the man but to be quiet; hallelujah, hallelujah; now I'd like to clear up verse 12 for you; notice he doesn't say I don't allow a woman to teach, right; he said I don't allow her to teach over the man; that's right, amen; notice the context; he didn't say he doesn't allow a woman to teach; he said I don't allow her to teach out of place, yes, over a man; that's right. 16 Now verse 13; why did God say this? Because first things come first and Adam was created first; America First; you're going to have to work with me tonight, sir; amen; whatever came first has preeminence in the order of God; amen; and then Eve was created; verse 14; and Adam was not deceived; Adam was not deceived; Adam was fulfilling the role of Jesus Christ; he willingly partook of that sin so God wouldn't kill his wife; ain't nobody heard what I just taught you. 17 Adam was not deceived by that snake, right; he was never deceived; no, he wasn't; but he knew his bride; if he didn't die with her she would die alone; hallelujah, hallelujah; he ate the apple or whatever it was out of love for Eve; wow; it's the same reason that the second Adam that knew no sin became sin for your sake; Adam, he took the punishment for his wife; any real man would do it; that's right; Adam was not deceived; hallelujah. 18 But the woman was deceived in the transgression; not withstanding she shall be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety; hallelujah; amen; and I know you have no idea where I'm going tonight with this but I promise you when I'm done you're going to know how important those verses are that we skip over all the time; come on, Pastor, cuz men are scared to preach on them, cuz they're scared to death of women; but I want to tell you something tonight, I want you to hear me well. 19 God is about to restore all things in the earth before his return with the voice of Elijah, right; and tonight I want to teach you a new way of looking at the plan of God for your life; amen; amen; you can be seated tonight. 20 The word usurp, what does that mean? Let's read it again; verse number 12; but I will not allow a woman to teach nor to usurp authority over the man; let's talk about the word usurp; your entire Bible, listen to me carefully, is all because the entire story, the aleph and the tav, watch this, in the beginning do you know what started the middle? I'll tell you what started it, usurpation; okay; amen, amen. 21 Usurping; Satan was in the Garden of Eden; God had put him there; and what did he say in his heart, in Ezekiel, y'all wake up now, all of you wake up, come on, I need people with spiritual ears; in the Garden of Eden, what did he say in his heart? I will exalt myself over God; yes; and that, Elder Bets, is what started the story; in the middle, mem, was rebellion to authority. 22 Now let's go to the tav; let's go to the back of the book and let's read how the back of the book is going to end in the tav; 1 Corinthians 15:27 and 28; and you're going to find out how important this lesson is tonight; 1 Corinthians 15; let's go to verse 24; then cometh the tav, the end; then cometh the tav, the end, when he will deliver up the kingdom to God; what kingdom is he going to deliver to God? The one that was created in the middle; wow, hallelujah, thank you Father. 23 When he shall have put down all rebellion, all authority, hallelujah, and all power; amen; for Yesua must reign until he puts all enemies under his feet; the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death; verse 27; for he hath put all things under his feet; but when he says all things are put under him it is clearly evident that he is accepted which did put all things under him; what does that mean? The only thing that will not be put under Christ is God because God put him over all things; it's that simple. 24 Verse 29, we'll stop there because I want to go back to where we were; now in first Timothy, usurp is the Greek word authentein, authentein; and here's what authentein means; authentein means to have dominion over someone else in your own authority; to fail to recognize the divine order established by Yahweh; rather than top to bottom you want to go bottom to top; okay; usurpers are among us. 25 The greatest enemy of the Kingdom Vision that you have is another vision; there are two visions in the church; by the way everyone you know claims to have the truth, right, everyone claims to have the emet; that's right, right; but brothers and sisters listen to me, there is two visions; one is a kingdom vision; one is a church vision; that's right; the church vision is about the end; the kingdom vision is about the emet, it's about from beginning to middle to end; and you have to develop the kingdom vision. 26 The other vision that does not include all truth is the Antichrist vision; it is the other gospel; amen; and do you know some of you sitting here tonight and some watching me on television are so just wanting to have good church that you do not understand my calling and the ministry that God has given me; and here's what that ministry is: to get you so emaciated with a kingdom vision that you wind up ruling the kingdom; that's what we're here to do; amen, hallelujah, hallelujah. 27 Why does Yahweh, so what is the original sin? Usurp it; you serpent, that's the original sin; and God said he hates you usurping; amen; that's right; people that have their own authority that was not delegated to them by the word of God; yes sir; amen; there is a divine order and the only people in the world that will ever try to get it in their homes and in their churches and in their own personal lives are Israelites; because we are the only ones that care about the emet, we're the only ones that care to walk in truth. 28 If you know the truth then you understand why God said in first Timothy to the women, amen, I will not allow a woman to usurp a man; amen, amen; why? Because all I see when it happens is a snake; wow; from the very beginning, from the very beginning, that snake deceived the woman; and I want America to hear me today; he's still deceiving our women to take authority over their husbands; and it must stop in the house of God; we've got to get it right, sir; amen. 29 And just so you know, when God told the woman to remain silent he wasn't saying forever; amen; he was saying until you understand any authority you have it's cuz your husband gave it to you; amen; all right; now let's bring it to the preacher cuz y'all get mad over here, so let's bring it to the other place; it's just like a man of God whenever he is over the church if he doesn't understand that his authority is not his own it came from God himself, and you have to honor that authority; hallelujah. 30 Every time God sees a rebellious wife he sees the beginning all over again; and every time he sees a man in the ministry that wants to rule the pastor that is over them in the Lord he sees a snake; not only is the woman to keep silent but so is the man when they are out of their position; hallelujah; every church that's got a deacon board is a snake church; any church that's got a pulpit committee is a serpent church; why? You don't hold the preacher to account, he holds you to account; let the women keep silent and let the men keep silent; let everyone keep silent until you can recognize where your authority comes from; hallelujah. 31 God hates it, he despises it; hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah; and everyone in this room, man or woman, has that snake spirit; amen, amen; we despise authority; come on, yes; but I've come to tell you tonight God is going to break you so much, come on, did you hear me, God's going to wind up breaking you so much, hallelujah, to where you fall in love with it; hallelujah; amen; where you recognize that God wasn't trying to control Eve, he was trying to protect Eve. 32 She saw it as control; God saw it as protecting; and do you know what this modern church world will convince you? When you find a shepherd that really cares about you they'll try to convince you he's trying to control you; they don't understand the difference in control and protection from your own devices of the enemy; hallelujah; God wants you in your place; why? Because when we get to the tav everything's going to have to be in order; order; anybody with me? 33 So watch this; if everything was out of order in the aleph and it's going to be in order in the tav, where's that order going to take place? In the mem; that's right, hallelujah; that's why Yahweh created the church; the church is the mem; we're not the kingdom, we're the mem; we're the mother giving birth to a manchild in the tav; hallelujah; that's why the Bible said I gave you pastors, apostles, prophets, teachers, and evangelists; he said I did that so that you would learn to get that snake spirit out of you. 34 I'm giving you authority now so you can learn two words; yes sir; no sir; hallelujah, hallelujah; if you want it from your children let your children see it come from you; why? God wants to destroy that usurping spirit; when you are a usurper you don't understand where your authority comes from; that's right; and that is why God in this mem is training you and I to find out where our authority comes from; hallelujah; amen, amen. 35 Why does Yahweh hate usurping? Because the final act of Jesus Christ, Yesua, in the earth, the final act will be to bring everything under his feet, under his authority; under his authority; now I want to ask you a question tonight; we're all excited; watch; everybody in this room when I say that, Sister Judy, I'm talking about the tav, when he's going to put everything in the world under his feet; but my Bible said that that work of putting everything under his feet in the tav begins in the house of God in the mem. 36 It begins over here before he brings it over here; he's got to get it first in the mem; he's got to get it in the middle if he's going to get it in the end; that's why he said love your enemies; here's why, if you don't love them in the mem you'll mess up the tav; we got to get the whole story right for it to line up right; hallelujah. 37 I can forgive but I can't forget; you're not kingdom ready; I can forgive but I can't look over them; you're not kingdom ready; why? Because in the tav you're going to have power and authority over the nations of the world and in the mem you get it over yourself first; get the mem right; I said get the middle right; hallelujah. 38 That's why you need to be careful; every one of you that has a job, an employer, do you know that you're not to even talk back to your employers? You know that? If you got a teacher you're not to talk back; why do you have an old snake spirit? I don't care if you're working at Burger King and you don't like your boss; either quit or obey; get this spirit out of you; amen; why? It will lead you to a pauper's grave your whole life; Sister Cali. 39 Your entire life God wants to break one thing; learn how to be silent; amen; oh no, no, that scripture ain't just for women; in that particular setting it was, yes sir, he's speaking to the woman in regards to male authority; that's right; but if he would have wrote the next verse and he would have said men, be silent, be silent and don't usurp authority over those over you in the Lord, or on the job, or wherever you are; notice authority; amen; amen; recognize it, right. 40 And then the same way that God loves legitimate authority he will cause his church to stand up and fight against illegitimate authority; do you know why we care so much about illegitimate authority? Because we respect authority so much; ain't nobody hearing me now; when God raised up the fight in me four years ago against a fake president it's because I respect authority so much that I want to make sure that that man that's in authority got there the right way. 41 Hallelujah; you can call yourself a husband all day long, right; a woman don't have to submit to a man that calls himself a husband, she's got to submit to a husband; hallelujah, hallelujah; you put on a wig and call yourself a woman but it don't mean you can have a child; you're not a husband unless you're a husband; fire; the husband submits himself to the word of God, the man of God, things of God, and he obeys the word of God and he's a husband to his wife; hallelujah; amen; hallelujah, sir. 42 Bringing home a paycheck don't make you a husband, it makes you a half of a husband, right, cuz that part's important; but you've also got to bring home a loving hug when she's losing her mind; you also got to bring home a strength when the world's falling apart for her; you got to bring home a prayer when she don't know what to do; you got to be the leader; that's it; yes sir. 43 God don't ask you to submit to him unless he first provides for you what he promised to provide; he would be your protector, he would be your helper, he would be your guide; hallelujah; this thing's a covenant; yes; you do that, I do that; this is a covenant; God's calling us to understand the duties of covenant; hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. 44 I can't, nobody in this ministry anywhere in the world, walk in them doors and say they the pastor; now, nobody; that's right, right; you can wear, you can go buy a suit that says Pastor all over it; amen, you understand; you can go get a hat says Pastor on it; that's right; you can go buy pointy shoes like I wear; it don't make you a pastor; God chooses the man that he's going to use to lead his people and nothing you can do will stop it; nothing. 45 Just like God chose Donald Trump to lead America and nothing they've done has been able to stop it; when God chooses a man you must submit; that's right; nothing you do about it; why? Great ministries fall; great ministries fall number one when the man of God forgets who his authority is; that's right; and when the church forgets who theirs is; that's right; if you want God's blessing to come like you've never seen it, get in place. 46 Why? The end of this story is already written; that's right; there'll be no usurping there; nobody in the end will say I'll ascend above the stars of God; that's right; but why? The Lord spoke to me today and I said Lord how can you know; he said what did Satan say? And I read it; Satan said in his heart I will ascend above the stars of God; that's right; and all my little discernment level kicked in, come on, and it drove me into the remez, and I wound up at the sod level, and God said what did I call stars in The Book of Revelation? The churches. 47 Ah, the what? The churches; the churches; that's right; wow; Satan said I will rise above the authority of the church; wow; and then he said I'll set myself on the mountain of God, which is the church; that's right, right; that's what he's done; I come to tell every one of you, Satan never went to heaven and tried to attack the throne of God; or you totally out of your mind; come on now; that never made no sense to me; how is Satan going to go attack God? 48 No, we really believe that he went up there and him and God got in a fight and wound up kicking two-thirds of them out; no no no; the angels that are falling from heaven, the two-thirds, it's not angels, it's preachers, messengers of the word of God, that are falling with this usurping spirit; glory; he never intended to go to heaven; he meant to go to heavenly places where the stars of God are called to preach the unadulterated word of God; and he said I will rise above them and control them and use them. 49 Don't let him convince you of the same thing; what did he say? I'll be like God; in other words, I'm just as anointed as the preacher, I'm just as anointed as the Elder, I'm just as; see, this is why, ladies and gentlemen, why do you think people say you don't need no titles? Let me tell you what titles do; you don't understand titles; titles ain't for me, it's for you; titles ain't for the elders, it's for those under the care of the elders; it's so that you recognize authority. 50 Get it out of your heart; that's why the Bible said take no accusation against an elder; amen; why? You don't have the authority to accuse them; because Michael didn't even have the authority to accuse Satan; right; y'all know what, I may preach this for the next year until we get it out of our heart, until we all get free from this snake; yes sir; why? Because I want to be in the tav; hallelujah, hallelujah. 51 When we lose this vision of truth we become unbridled; amen; we become runaways; we become so unbridled that we lose the vision of the restoration of all things; if you have an end time, get me to heaven mentality, right, you cannot have a restoration mentality; right; you could care less if anything gets restored, you just want to go to heaven; that's called the Antichrist Vision; my job is to undig all of that in your head and let you know if you knew the truth about the tav you would get so focused on the mem. 52 Because the mem is what will propel you into the tav; the role that you was born to fulfill; hallelujah, hallelujah; but brothers and sisters, God is going to restore all things, he is; but I've come to tell you before he restores the earth he must first restore the church, right, into proper order; the house of Yah and the ekklesia must be restored to order; order; hallelujah; amen. 53 You know what kills me about all these little messianic annex messianic, they all running around at these little Bible studies learning more than everybody; that's right; they all know what day the Sabbath is; they're holier than; they know more than all the old-timers; they know more than everybody; yeah; and they've never learned this one rule: obey them that are over you in the Lord; hallelujah. 54 Do you know why they've never learned it, Elder Call? Because in their mind nobody's over them; because they're running from Bible study zoom meeting to one zoom meeting to another; God wants to train you in a kingdom mentality; that's why he's building this gathering here so that all of us learn the beauty of submitting to the work of God in the earth today; amen, amen. 55 Have you ever heard the old saying, you're so heavenly minded, you're so tav minded, that you're no mem good, meaning nobody can teach you anything? Why? Because you got a Bible teacher that told you the meaning of every little word; but until that begins to bloom in your life you're a sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal; you can tell me the meaning of every holy day, you can tell me from front to back, back to front; but until you become the meaning of that holy day, until you become the meaning of the tav and the aleph, you are a sounding brass; hallelujah. 56 The Bible said much knowledge makes you mad; come on, Pastor; amen; you know so much but you don't know the most important thing: obedience; oh, they'll say they believe in obedience, well, I obey God; you cannot obey God without obeying man; that's right, right; that's right; and then ask him who the man is, who's the, where, where are you? 57 Why? Because Satan is a usurper; nobody's over Satan; yeah, not even God; wow; in his eyes; but listen, the first step of getting back in order, I want to teach it to you, and everyone in this church, me included, all of us have to come into perfect order; that's right, sir; and the first step of that proper order is to realize that you have no authority; that I have no authority; Shane Von has no authority; I deserve no authority; I'm the least, like Paul said, daddy. 58 I'm the cheapest of sinners; oh, everyone in here's got a better record except brother Elder Connelly; but the rest of you all got better records than me; amen; I didn't do anything to deserve you; you didn't deserve you wearing the title of an elder in God's church; you didn't deserve no elder position; he wanted your authority; that's his; hallelujah, hallelujah. 59 And dear wife, dear wife, why is it so important? Because the wife has no authority that the husband didn't give her; she has to recognize any authority she has comes from her husband; that's right, amen; that's why I'm one of the few Messianic preachers that is not against women preachers; and a lot of people they question me; I'm going to write a book on it one day; but here's the deal: I'm against women usurpers but not women preachers. 60 Because if I tell my wife you're going to handle the money in the house, she's no longer handling it in her authority, right, those are my finances, right; any authority she has over them I have given it to you; that's right; usurping is to take dominion of your own authority; amen; and when I release this pulpit to a woman or anyone they are no longer preaching in their authority but in mine; right. 61 And if I tell a woman in this church get up and preach and they don't, they're in rebellion; that's right; yes sir; that's right; so when the pastor says speak, all of a sudden you have now come under divine authority; amen; the Bible didn't say I don't suffer a woman to teach, he said I don't suffer her to teach over a man; what does that mean? As long as she understands where her authority comes from, then she springs up; yeah; amen; that's right. 62 If Elder Baker leaves this church as a woman preacher to go preach somewhere it's because we sent her with the blessings of the authority of this church; when you are under that you are in a protected place; glory to God; recognize you have no authority; everyone in this room say I have no authority; I have no authority; I have no authority; I believe Yesua said those words when he said I do nothing on my own; that's right; he has no authority; he said I don't say anything; I'm silent in the church; oh, not just the women, everyone that doesn't recognize your authority, shut up. 63 Amen; amen; right; that's right; hallelujah; but the moment you recognize that you have no authority and you've come under authority all of a sudden you're free to speak; that's why when you understand you can't cast out a devil but if he does it through you, you're free to speak, you're free to obey God; hallelujah; amen; hallelujah; that's why the Bible said lay hands suddenly on no man; amen; that's why I don't pray for every sick person; why? Because I don't have the authority to pray for you; that's right; only he does; that's right; and if he says pray, I pray; and all of a sudden it's not even me praying at that point, you understand, it's him through me now. 64 And I don't want anybody to think I came here to preach tonight on women being silent; I came to use that example across the board; anyone, no one is allowed to have authority over those that are over them in the Lord; it's ungodly; yes sir, yes sir; amen; God is calling you to say I do nothing on my own unless I hear my father say; I hear father say; that's right. 65 Hallelujah; I don't even know how to get up unless he tells me to get up; right; I'm telling you, you want to get the mem right, read the Torah and it will teach you in the mem that even the steps of the righteous man, even our steps have to be ordered from heaven; God gives a menu of our steps in the mem; you want to come in order, realize you have no authority, realize that you are not your own; that's right; you're bought with a price. 66 The old-timers used to say a phrase that I didn't realize what it really meant until tonight when I began preparing this sermon; yes sir; the old-timers used to always say, I don't care what it was, they would end it with Lord willing; Lord willing; amen; your will; well I'm going to go to the doctor in the morning, Lord willing; I'm going to get my bunions cut off my toes, Lord willing; that's right; amen; you know why? They knew something you don't know; that's right, right; they had no authority to even go get bunions taken off of their toes if the Lord wasn't willing; right. 67 You want to come under order? Realize your life is not your own; and when you get that you'll come into the mem and begin to change your life and you'll let him direct your steps; you'll get a kingdom vision; yes sir; when Paul said that to the man and the woman it's not because the man is better than the woman; amen; oh no; many of you men here, your wives are better than you; yes sir; not that you're better but you are first in the hierarchy; you're first; right. 68 America's not better; we're probably less godly; we're less godly than the Islamic nations; yes; oh did you know that? Are you aware? Do you know what they do in Nairobi if they found a man sleeping with another man? They kill you; America's not a godly nation; they will cut your head off; and in one of them nations they'll castrate you; wow; why? They understand that if you accept one thing you'll have to accept everything; right. 69 So it's not that America is better, we're not, but we are first; Israel first; and the responsibility, Sister Lori, of the first is greater than everyone else's; the elder brother, the first brother, carries a responsibility of walking in the mem; that's right; amen; wow; why is it so important to God? Because if he is going to put all things under his feet he must start with us; amen; or else his future plans, his tav plans, will be mocked. 70 Now I want to explain what I mean by that; if he's going to have, and this is deep, I want you to follow me; if he's going to have, we all talk about that golden kingdom, right, it's going to be in perfect order; amen; the lion will even be under submission; yeah; he'll lay down with the lamb; yeah; amen; we all talk about that like that's going to magically appear; I need help now; amen; come on; we talk about this; oh, if I could just get there; yeah; you would still be as rebellious as you are right now; start now; hallelujah. 71 How can Yesua say in the Bible that he's going to put everything under subjection there when he can't get nothing under subjection here? Hallelujah; amen; hallelujah; that's good; you can take your Bible and show a Christian what day the Sabbath day is; yes sir; you can show them the fourth commandment, now remember the Sabbath day and always keep it holy; right; well, I know but I tell you it ain't what it means to me; that's because you're on the throne; that's right, that's right, right; you are a usurper. 72 Right; I can take and show you where God said if any man, when he returns, if anyone's eating pork he's going to destroy him; I'll show it to you in the Bible, right; don't it say it? It said if he comes back and you're eating anything unclean you will not be in the kingdom of God; amen; they don't care; they're usurpers; that's right, that's right; amen. 73 I can take and show you in the word of God, when we get to the tav, is anybody still with me? Yes sir; when we get to the tav the Bible said from one Sabbath to the next Sabbath all the earth will come and worship him; hallelujah; don't you, what a mockery, what a mockery to say it's going to happen in the tav when he can't even get it to happen in the right; in the tav, everyone, do you know what the tax is going to be in the new government that's coming? It's going to be the tithe. 74 How do you think we're going to finance all of the things that Yesua is going to do on the earth? There's got to be a tithe; and you're telling everybody that you're going into the tav to rule with Christ; wow; you're a mockery, amen, to the message; come on; oh God help me now; yes sir; you've allowed some Bible teacher to teach you you ain't got to tithe; I dare you to watch my lesson on tithing and you'll never not pay them again ever. 75 Why? Because in the tav you're going to pay them; that's right; oh, I promise you you're going to pay them or you'll get beat with a rod of iron; you're going to pay them; amen; come on; but in the mem you want to cheat; you know what, y'all paying ain't your real tithe; you know, some of you you just throw some money, keep it up, keep it up, and you make a mockery out of what's going to be; I want you to hear me well; until he can get it done in the church he cannot return and do it in the earth. 76 That's why Elijah has to restore all things to get the men to line up with the tav; why do you think he wants wives obeying husbands in the mem? Amen; why? Because if you get in that tav and haven't learned obedience you'll make a mockery out of the tav; but you see, brothers and sisters, you know why the church don't care about the men? They don't care about the truth; that's right, that's right; amen; amen; they want that other gospel, yeah, that salvation gospel; they want the gospel about Christ, not the gospel of Christ in the middle. 77 Oh, I'm preaching now and I feel good; help me Lord, help me Lord, help me Lord; hallelujah; do you know what your Christian friends, your Baptist church, call the mem? Legalism; yeah; you know what even the church I grew up in, Pentecostals, called the mem? Legalism; yes sir; that's right; but I'm going to tell you something, darling, I'd rather be legal than unlegal; you understand? Call it whatever you want to call it but I'd rather be legal than illegal; praise God; I'll carry it, I'll take it, I said I'll take it; hallelujah. 78 God hates a usurper; amen; and let me tell you something, everyone in this room are usurpers until you become a yes man; sir, yes sir; amen; that's right, sir; there's people not here tonight because they're usurpers; that's right, right; sir; they chose sports over the Sabbath; that's right; you know why? Nobody's taking them off their throne; nobody; that's right; as a matter of fact they know as much as the stars of God do; come on now; they'll rise above; they don't need the stars. 79 Wow, right; the Bible said the stars are in the hands of Christ, is the messengers, sir; these are the angels of the church; these are the men that God raised up; and you think you can rise above them because you act like you're the temple of God? You are nothing but a rock; don't be a young rock, be a living rock; hallelujah; you got to see it, I said you got to see it; you got to get a vision of the kingdom; you got to get a vision of the aleph, the mem, and the tav; that's right. 80 Why? Because one day you're going to rule the tav if you can rule the mem; hallelujah; I want to show you how usurpation works; I'm going to tell you a story you've never thought about before; here's how usurping works; go read for me, Elder, I want to show you a story in the Bible, in the Torah, and I'm going to show you how usurping works so you can get that spirit out of you. 81 David in 2 Samuel 15, let's start at 10; now there's only one true king or one true star in Israel and that was David; but read to me 2 Samuel 15:10; but Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, uhhuh, saying as soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet then ye shall say Absalom reigneth in Hebron; oh, Absalom reigneth now; who made Absalom king? Nobody; Israel already had a pastor, yes, Israel already had a man that God chose; amen, that's right; and Absalom said, you know what, I don't care, just go announce that I'm the king; wow; okay, so you're a usurper; got it. 82 David was the king but Absalom says he was; when you become unbridled by the Torah you will declare yourself to be a king; you will take on the Absalom spirit that I am just as worthy as David; wow; to have that position; matter of fact I'll rise above the stars and take the throne; just tell them I'm king; that's why y'all don't understand, why do y'all think Professor Toto was so angry at Ron DeSantis, right? Right; she passed it, wow. 83 That was Absalom trying to be a president when he should have been a boy in the campaign; and now he's got that Jezebel woman by the name of tricky Nikki, Habachi Haley, that's got the same spirit; you're no president, woman, shut down for a real president; hallelujah; ain't got no business running men anyway; sit down; quit screaming you're something when you need to be knocking on doors; Nikki and Ron need to be knocking on doors for Donald Trump; yes; that's right. 84 They need to put on t-shirts, Snickers, and get a clipboard and go knock on doors; yes; why? Because God raised me up to put them in check and to tell them how God operates in the affairs of men; that's the truth; and because Absalom did it, because Ron DeSantis did it, he destroyed anything God was going to do with him; when you get out of order, I said I don't care if it's a wife, a husband, or a child, when you get out of order you have brought destruction on your life; yes sir. 85 I've been there; I said I've been there; I'll never forget when they threw me in that 6x6 cell and I heard the Lord say, well, you did a fine job; but that didn't; yes sir; come on, Pastor; amen; amen; then people going to call me by my last name, Van, they don't know who I am, they didn't care; oh, that made, oh, that drove me insane; you know why? I was there, I was king; yes sir; I was king; yes sir; your own life, it didn't matter what God's word said or my old outdated grandmother said; none of that mattered; I was running; yeah; amen. 86 And now, brother, God, why do you preach on so much? Because it destroyed my life; hallelujah; I don't need nobody in this church obeying me; how many of you know after Friday night none of y'all even hear from me? I'm not in your business; I don't run your lives; that's right, right; matter of fact I don't even answer your calls a lot of times; hallelujah; I ain't trying to run nobody; but I'm trying to get you in the key of God and I got to preach you the truth; glory; thank you; hallelujah. 87 Absalom carries that serpent spirit; why do you think, usurp, serpent, serpent, come on now; come on; come on; I want to tell your wife something; when you speak disrespectfully to your husbands you're your old snake; whenever you don't find your place, you know what, why not do what Paul said? Shut up; amen; if you can't say nothing, don't be a snake; amen; go in your room and cry if you got to; but don't rise up against your authority. 88 And when that man, if he is any kind of a man, amen, he can see a wife cry, that's right, amen, and not find out what he can do to stop the tears; you hear me? But you got to give him that opportunity by shutting up; because all this right here is going to, y'all shut me down if you want to, they'll listen to me, all this right here is going to do is make it 20 times worse because he ain't never going to bow down to you now, ever; hallelujah. 89 We ain't got no homosexuals here; a man don't bow down to a woman, not in God's church, sir; but he will lay down and let her walk on him if he's a true husband; learn that; learn that; brothers and sisters, we'll lay down in the rain if you're a real man and let you walk so your feet don't get wet; hallelujah; hallelujah; but you got to let us do it; amen; that's right. 90 Paul said let them keep silent and it's not easy to do; let the men keep silent against their pastor; that's right; amen; keep silent; that's right; why? I feel the Holy Ghost; he wants you right; amen; you know the problem with this generation? They haven't had a real preacher in so long that's right that this sounds strange; that's right; I'm sorry that you didn't have a Marvin Terrell as your pastor like I did; I'm sorry you didn't ever hear a real man of God tell you the truth; but those days are over; I'm here and I plan to preach you the truth until he calls me home. 91 Hallelujah; his voice is here; he's lining it up, he's restoring it, he's straightening it out; hallelujah; y'all be glad when this one's done; I'm almost there; hallelujah; the Holy Ghost is working; I'm telling you the Holy Ghost is, he wants you to get it right; hallelujah; hallelujah. 92 We trying to cast devils out of other people; we need to cast serpents out of us; we need to get serpents out of our mind; we need them snakes out of our own shelves; hallelujah; I want to read to you how this ends and I'm done. 93 Read for me 2 Samuel 15:32; I want to show you what David did to Absalom; Absalom said I'm the king; Satan said he was the king; I want to show you what David did; the real king; he had to go away for a little while to Mahanaim; yeah; he didn't stay there and fight; he had to go; God had to move him while Absalom was screaming I'm the president, that's right, I'm the king; yes sir; let's read what David did. 94 And it came to pass that when David was come to the top of the mount; oh wait, whoa, whoa; he didn't fight the devil; come on; he didn't fight Absalom; he didn't fight; hallelujah; Yesua, this is the picture of Yesua; he went to the mountain and did what? There he worshipped Yahweh; I want you to hear me; everyone that's ever risen up against me in this ministry I did the same thing; I went and worshipped Yahweh; I never fought back. 95 David didn't fight Absalom; you know why? David knew who the king was; amen; hallelujah; David, that had been chosen by God in spite of himself; David was there when Samuel poured the oil and gave him his authority from the prophet Samuel; that's right; amen; that chain of command was working; the old prophet brought him his crown; hallelujah. 96 Listen; and then David goes to the mountain to worship Yahweh; why? Because it was Yahweh that poured the oil on it, not Samuel; Samuel was the proxy; he understood where his authority was at; he understood it's not by might nor by power but by my spirit, say the Lord; so here Yesua goes up to the mountain; Satan is over there claiming it's my world; hold on now, who did the father say he was going to give the earth to? Yesua and his brethren; you've got Satan over here saying I'm the God of this world; Yesua didn't fight him; he just went up on top of the mountain called Calvary and worshipped Yahweh by obeying Yahweh. 97 I wish you would help me; scream on, Absalom; hallelujah; I'm the king; good, you go ahead and be the king; I'm going to go to Mahanaim for a while and let Yahweh break me down a little more; wow; and Absalom, you can raise every judge in Israel against me if you want to, son; I'm going to the mountain; and when I get up there nothing you say will matter; hallelujah. 98 Was that the end of verse 32? Read what else happened; behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him, with his coat rent and earth upon his head; now go to verse number 30 and read for me; and David went up by the ascent of Mount Olives; David went to the Mount of Olives, yes, to declare who the real king was; I read a story in the back of the book, in the tav section, that tells about another true king that's going to set his feet on the Mount of Olives; and blast that Absalom. 99 And hallelujah; read chapter 18 verse 14 for the next two chapters, Sister Baker; David disappears; Israel, wow; somebody's claiming to be president; hallelujah; right; yeah, right; somebody's claiming to be the God of this world; it's not true; no; two chapters; David's gone; 2,000 years; something like that; anybody with me? The Holy Ghost; just out of sight; how's that fair? He's the true king; right; amen; truth may be a long time in coming; let's read what happened. 100 Let's read quickly in chapter 18 verse 14; then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee; and he took three spears in his hand and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive, in the midst of the oak; David sent Joab; Michael, I want you to get that fake king off my throne; with the shout of the Archangel and the voice of God, the true king of Israel will take that new serpent and throw him from the throne; hallelujah; he's getting ready to do it in about nine months from now too; hallelujah. 101 You can play all you want to but God knows the truth; I got to close; so let me sit down; hallelujah; I'm going to close with this right here; why do we have to get this usurping spirit out of us? To have a clear vision; I'm going to tell you why; because this usurping spirit is the spirit of antichrist; right, ma'am; when you defy your husband, no need to wait on the Antichrist, he just saw the Antichrist; sir; when you defy your pastor, no need of preaching about an antichrist, I just saw him; the usurper is the spirit of antichrist; that's right. 102 And that's why if I wind up with five people I'm going to get it out; we're going to get it out; hallelujah, hallelujah; we're going to get it out; because if you thought I was playing about being in the kingdom of God, that's all I've got my mind on; I'm not playing; this is not a game to me; I'm determined to meet Sister Terry Ras in that kingdom; hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. 103 In both stories that we've talked about tonight, in both stories, these were stories about the Antichrist; I want to explain it like this; the Throne of David is a clear type and shadow of the Throne of Yeshua; yeah; just as Absalom rose up against David, the Antichrist has risen up against Christ in this hour; and he came to the church and said I'm Jesus; that's right; and what did the real Jesus do? He left for two days; David left for two chapters; Yesua left; he said go ahead. 104 What I'm going to do, here's what David; here's the last part I didn't tell you; when they killed Absalom, David had a lot of friends that he thought was his friend that sided; well, well, he needed Absalom; oh my; to show David who the swamp was; hallelujah; amen; and he killed every one of them that took sides with Absalom; I want you to know today that Yesua is proving who his people are by the usurper, by the Antichrist, by the Christian church, by the lives of Babylon; he is proving who will stay faithful; hallelujah. 105 I want to show you the word antichrist; it simply means in place of; what does in place of mean? Usurper; the spirit of antichrist is a usurping spirit; amen; that's why Paul said women I won't let you teach over a man; we can't get the Antichrist at the church; that's right; the usurping spirit. 106 I'm going to tell you, read from me quickly Matthew 2:22; I want to show you what a usurper is and what the Antichrist is; it simply means to replace; Joe Biden is a usurper; yes sir; is he, brother Von? How do you know that? I'll tell you how I know it; Donald Trump got more votes than any sitting president in world history; that's right; yep; no president has ever in the second time got more votes than he got the first time; that's right; wow; his numbers were through the roof. 107 Yeah; and it was because of their covid-19 scam that they ran on a nation where people couldn't go vote; so mail-in ballots like cockroaches; I mean, just go watch 2,000 Mules, that's all you got to do; watch a ballot stuffing, envelope with fake ballots; yes sir, they sure did; amen; I've got a mother that's a Democrat to the core and you know what she told me and my wife; I said Mom, I got a question for you, cuz she loves crazy Joe; oh Lord, they all pray for her; oh, I said, would your Biden be president if it weren't for covid-19? She said no. 108 That's why we thank God for covid-19; wow; they know what happened; yes; know what happened; yeah; and you know who else knows what happened? Donald Trump knows what happened; that's why you can't shut him up; he knows the truth; do you know that, you know what they tell Trump? They tell him, sir, if you'll keep, if you quit talking like that, right, you can win next time; he still won't quit talking; that's right; because truth means more than victory; the truth means more than the victory; right; amen. 109 He is going to say it now for nine months and they got to cover him; he's going to say it was stolen and he's going to keep saying it; because you cannot hide the truth forever; you can't hide the truth forever; that's why as a man of God I'm going to preach this truth until the truth returns; because truth matters more than the victory; let's close. 110 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judea in the room of his father Herod he was afraid to go there; notwithstanding being warned of Yahweh in a dream he turned aside into the parts of Galilee; go back and read the first part again; but when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judea in the room of his father Herod; hold on; there was someone ruling in the place of his father Herod; yes sir; the man was sitting on the throne; yes sir; but that was Herod's throne; amen; he was coming to get the impostor off the throne; that's right; that was a picture of the Antichrist. 111 Now I want to break this down for you; second Thessalonians, and I'm, and look, we started with the beginning, now I'm bringing you to the top; because everybody in the church world is looking for the Antichrist boy; have they got a rude awakening; have they ever got a rude awakening coming; let's read it; 2 Thessalonians, that would help, chapter 2, verse three and 4; amen; let no man deceive you by any means; all right, don't let anybody deceive you; go ahead. 112 For that day shall not come except there come a falling away first and that man of sin be revealed; all right, hold on now; is that verse three, chapter 2, second Thessalonians? No that's Timothy; no wonder; okay, I got it, I got it; but you right, you right, I'm wrong; hallelujah, hallelujah; second Thessalonians chapter 2; I want to read this with you; verse three; that day, what day? The millennial reign; there's going to be a falling away first. 113 How is the falling away going to happen? This is what I want to talk about; in the end time there's going to be a great falling away; no no no, in the mem there's going to be a falling away; amen; during the mem there's going to be a falling away; and it tells us the man of sin will be revealed, the son of perdition; now how is he going to be revealed? I'll tell you how; through everyone that falls away; amen; wow; amen; because they're going to carry the spirit of the serpent, the seed of the serpent. 114 Now who is this man of sin? He opposes and exalt, notice what it said, exalts himself; what did I tell you usurping meant? Wow; your own authority, sir; the Antichrist is going to exalt himself; he will not wait for a pastor or anybody else to do it; he will exalt himself above all that is called Elohim; yeah; wait a minute, wait a minute; I thought I already told y'all that; I thought I told you when he said in the Old Testament he would exalt himself above the stars of God; I told you who the stars of God are, the messengers of God, the Elohim. 115 He's not trying to exalt himself above God; nobody does that; wow; then people that fall away still believe the message and they love God; right, that's right; but they will exalt themselves above that which is called Elohim; amen; they're not trying to get above Yahweh; no; they're trying to get above the stars of Yahweh, the messengers; come on; nobody; woo; so everyone that falls away it will be because of what? Usurping; that's it, that's it; they will not be able to submit. 116 The last great test in your life will be submission; or, that is worshipped so that he as God sits in the third temple telling everyone that he is god; Brother V, how do we know who that is? It's very simple; he's the lawless one; he's going to come in the mem and establish his message as a godly message; yes; and that message will make you unbridled; amen; his message will set you free; ain't nobody hearing me; his message will loosen you from the bondage; wow; right. 117 Done away with; I'll never forget as a young boy, everybody that would backslide we had girls that would backslide from the church just so they could cut their bangs; oh yeah; oh, I'm telling you; and they they knew the next evangelist was coming in, they could pray back through, but at least they get their hair trimmed up; wow; now why am I saying that? Y'all didn't grow up like that, you don't have no idea what I'm talking about; here's the deal; everybody in the church I grew up in we were always told that people felt bad for us because of the bondage we were under. 118 Y'all are under so much bondage; yeah, you're right; because we don't like going to prison; we don't want to; we don't want to have 10 different marriages; we don't want to come home with herpes or any other kind of peas; we just; yeah, you're right, we're under so much bondage; wow; yeah, we might want to have good children that know the Ten Commandments; so much bondage; come on, Pastor; amen; the Antichrist message will set you free; it's all. 119 Can I break it down for you? Christianity will send you free; anti-mem; Christianity; and they will be the very ones, go on YouTube tonight, listen to them preach, they will be the very very ones that tell you not to listen to all this legalism because the blood, grace set you free from the mem, the Torah, the Torah was nailed to the cross; they'll set you free; listen to me well; what you thought was setting you free was setting you on fire; that's right; hallelujah; yes sir; I call it blessed bondage; handcuff me now; I call it blessed bondage; hallelujah, hallelujah. 120 Verse seven; for the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now letteth will let until he be taken out of the way; and I've taught on what that means; I won't go into it tonight; you can look at it on my Angel of Yahweh video, it's the very end of that video; and then shall that wicked be revealed whom the Lord will consume with the word of his mouth and will destroy him; he'll come in verse nine after the working of Satan with signs, prophecy, miracles, lying wonders, and casting out devils. 121 Right; listen to what he said; verse 10; and with all deception of the unrighteousness in them that perish; who's the one that perish? Those that don't have a Torah; that's right; because they receive not the love for the mem, Torah; they loved church; wow; they loved miracles; hallelujah; I want you to hear me; the greatest deception in the church of God is miracles, amen, signs and wonders; right; and when they hear a man like me they'll tell you to run cuz I'm putting you in bondage. 122 Let me tell you what I'm doing; I'm making you ready to not be in that falling away; you've got to have a love for truth for aleph to tav; you got to love it, I said you got to love it, or you will be deceived; when you see people don't understand people staying in my Bible study 7 hours? Love truth; you love truth; love truth; amen; amen; if nobody in this room ever falls out again I just hope you don't fall out; amen; Pastor, right; amen; hallelujah; got to have a love for truth. 123 That's right; y'all better be glad I'm getting tired; First John chapter 2; 1 John 2; little children, verse 18 quickly, let's get, let's end this; little children it is the last day and you have heard that the Antichrist is coming; oh but you've missed the whole point; even right now there are many, many usurpers; and that's how you can know; they went out from us the last time. 124 Well, brother Von, who are these antichrists, who are these usurpers? Read the next verse; they went out from us; they would not submit to us; yeah; because they were not the true seed; that's right; for if they had been true seed their behinds would still be sitting in the place God put them; hallelujah; hallelujah; they're not antichrist meaning they're against God Yahweh; they're against the stars of God; they are antichrist. 125 You know what John said? John was their pastor; that's it; John was the pastor of which church? Y'all should know this; what church was John the pastor of? The only two; Smyrna; Smyrna; yes sir; he was smearing the word on, sir; that's right; John was their pastor; people were leaving his church; yes sir; amen; right; because they loved Jesus but they didn't know who John was; right; they left John's church to go to Paul's church; oh yeah; amen; I see; and John said the reason they left? Usurpers; yeah; they never, they didn't understand the authority that God had put over them; amen. 126 To break them, to crush them, sir, sir; one man told his daughter if you go back to that ministry they'll crush you; that's right; oh, he was so right; yes sir; amen; he was right; he was so right; hallelujah; this word preached with authority will crush you; hallelujah; thank you, Father; until an eagle can be born in you; God wants to set you free like Michelangelo set those beautiful figures free from their stone casing and carved something out of that stone; that's what this message will do for you, sir; amen. 127 Verse 22; who is a liar but he that denieth that Yesua is the Messiah? He is antichrist that denies the father and the son; turn with me to John 4:3; and every spirit that says not that Yesua began in the flesh is not of God; that's right; that is the spirit of antichrist; whereof you have heard that it will come; but I tell you, you missed him; he came; that's right, that's right; he's sitting in your church; he is; hallelujah. 128 2 John 1:7; for many deceivers are entered into the world who confess not that Yesua is flesh; this is a deceiver and an antichrist; there's only one way to get rid of the antichrist spirit within every one of us; you must have a vision of the kingdom; and that vision is not about a destination, it's about a journey; yes sir. 129 Listen to me carefully; I'm going to do it one more time while my wife comes; your old vision that you had as a Christian was about a destination; brothers and sisters, truth is not a destination; you'll never get there; it's a journey; it's a journey; your vision has to change tonight, Sister Chelsea, from the tav to the mem; why is that? Because the mem is going to deliver you to the tav; amen; you've got to see yourself here ruling and reigning, yes sir, so that you can rule and reign here; you need a new vision; that stands.
