Part 9 - Book of Daniel "Drain The Swamp" Pastor. Shane Vaughn 12.28.24

* All right. What is that? It's called letters. A, B, C, D all the way to Z. What is it? 27? How many letters is 26 letters. Now, contained within these letters is a power that you would not believe. As a matter of fact, if you if you take a P and R and E I S I D N T, you become the president. There's a lot of power in these letters. * However, until you put them together, it tells you nothing. That Bible tells you nothing. It's a dead letter. You cannot read the Bible and get anything out of it. You have to study it. You have to put it together. I'm going to prove that today. Okay? The reason most people cannot get anything out of the Bible, they refuse to believe they need a teacher. * They They just think that they can read that book and just get what they want out of it. But the problem with this book, the Apostle Paul said it kills. It's a death. This book is death. What does it mean? You can open it up and read what we're about to read in a minute. And it's nothing but a dead letter. And God, if you're lucky, Brother Wallick, if you're lucky in your life, Yahweh will gift you with a part of the ministry called the teacher that will take A and connect it to B. * And before you know it, you'll have something you can actually comprehend. You've got to comprehend this book. Can't just read it. It's got to get to the point where when you read it, you are able to connect it from the first page to the last page and it's one story. And so I showed you that because you would think if we're going to study Daniel that we would go to Daniel today, but we're going to Revelation. * And there's a reason for that because you cannot ever read Daniel without read Revelation. Let's go to chapter 16 of Revelation. Praise the Lord. And we'll go down to verse 12. And the sixth angel poured out his bowl upon that great river Euphrates and the water was dried up so that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. * That one verse, if you don't get that one verse, you cannot read the book of Daniel. That one verse is the master key to understanding the book of Daniel. Now, how can that be? Without some teacher showing you that verse and saying to you, "Until you can tell me number one about the river Euphrates, until you can tell me who the kings of the east are, then you don't understand the book of Daniel. * " So, I want to stress to you today that you must connect the Bible from the old to the new. Any doctrine that you hear taught, Brother Kelly, that cannot find a witness in the old and the new, it doesn't pass the test of the double witness. Okay? For example, I'll give you an example. Are you ready? The New Testament tells us the law is done away with. * Supposedly is what it says. You go to the Old Testament, it says, "And my word is established forever. It'll never be done away with." Now we got problems. Your job as a student is to make that old and that new fit together like a horse and buggy. Amen. You may be seated this morning. Praise the Lord. Now, as we enter part nine of the book of Daniel and Elder Morgan be ready to read several scriptures for me today. * We are coming out of chapter three where we was at last week. And then we go to Daniel's chapter four and five today, but I'm not going to spend any time in Daniel four and here's why. It's just the fulfillment. It shows you how all the nations lined up and fulfilled Daniel chapter three. Now, in Daniel four and five, in chapter four, you're going to find the first king of Babylon. * In chapter four and chapter five, over here you find the first king of Babylon and over here you find the last king of Babylon. Now, when you're reading those chapters, if you're not careful, you will think that it is a history lesson, but in fact, I'm going to prove to you today that it's not a history lesson. * It is a prophecy of the future. And I want you to notice in chapter four and chapter five, the setting, what city is chapter four of Daniel and the book of Revelation? What is the city that both books are setting in? Daniel and Revelation have nothing to do with Daniel or Revelation. It all has to do with Babylon. * And if you're not reading Daniel with the primary focus on your mind being Babylon, and if you read Revelation, you will think the book of Revelation is about the end of the world. No, it's about the end of Babylon. Amen. Oh, hallelujah. The Battle of Armageddon, all of these things were we that we like to think about, the truth is you've not had your ABCs correct on them and therefore you think these have to do with the end of the world. * Both books, Daniel and Revelation is all about Babylon. Both books. And when you get that, all of a sudden you'll begin to see why this ministry, Sister Lydia, preaches every sermon about Babylon. I mean, why are we so focused on Babylon? Why is that all we talk about? Babylon. Babylon. Because you're going to find out today who you are and what your role in bringing Babylon down is. * Amen. Amen. Let's break it down. Since I've been on a slow move today, let's break it down. Babylon at the very core means religious confusion. I'll give you an example. Are you ready? Here we go. Religious confusion. When we die, we go straight to heaven, we go straight to hell. Religious confusion. Oh, but now we're also going to have a judgment everybody goes to. * Well, then how we going to judgment if we already went to heaven or went to hell. Somebody say Babylon. Religious confusion. Confusion. Religious confusion is when one part of your Bible says that not one jot or one tittle of this law will ever pass away. But yet when you go to Babylon, you hear every Sunday and the law has been done away with. That is religious confusion. * That's Babylon. Anytime you are not allowed to ask questions, there's a reason. If you go to a church where you cannot question the teaching of the pastor, it's because the truth is they're so confused about what they're teaching, they don't want you to point out how confused they are. Amen. It's Babylon. * I'll give you another example, Brother Wallick. Supposedly Sunday is now the Sabbath day. There's one problem, nobody can show that to me in the Bible. Babylon, religious confusion. There's more, Jesus was born on Christmas day. The problem is it's a lie. That's Babylon. Uh and then he was resurrected on Sunday morning on a Easter. * No, he was resurrected at the end of the Sabbath at before the first day of the week. Babylon. And then supposedly there is one God, but he's divided up into three people and all three of them are co-eternal, co-equal, co-existing. Babylon. I could continue. Listen to me and listen well. Pastor Vaughn, why do you preach so hard against I was listening to the podcast. * I hadn't released it yet. Uh where they was evaluating my debate on the Trinity. And the AI computer they talked about how me and the young girl that was doing the debate agreed on the plan of salvation. And so the computer said, so it makes us wonder why even have these discussions about the Trinity since we all agree on the plan of salvation. * And I wanted to answer the robot, but I didn't know how to. I got to figure that part out. So let me answer it to the world. If you have a God that is jealous, and we do. If you have a God that says hear O Israel, the Lord your God is one. Then what happens if you're worshipping the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and treating them all equal, you have just committed an abomination. * That's why it's important. That's why it is our duty as Israelites to tell a Trinitarian, you are not worshipping the Yahweh of the Bible. You are worshipping a false God. You have changed an immortal, eternal God into a man, which he said I'm not a man, never have been, nor am I the son of man. * You cannot take the eternal, turn it into non-eternal and call that Yahweh. Can't do it. Yahweh is spirit. And that spirit said if you don't worship me alone, you have committed abomination. The very first commandment. You sh- You know what? I'm going to ch- I'm not going to change the commandments, Lord, but I need to paraphrase it. That first commandment ought to say, and you shall not worship a Trinity. * That's what it does say, thou shall have no Trinity. Why? One God. His name is Yahweh and his son came in that name, Yahshua, and became our salvation. And we now understand that, but those that are stuck in Babylon are in so much confusion, they have to unfringe you on Facebook for pointing out their confusion. * They have to disinvite you to the family party because you refuse See, it was like when we wouldn't wear masks during COVID. A- And we look like the weird ones. But now they're beginning to see the truth. Brothers and sisters, I am so sorry that I refused to be confused. I refuse it. God is not the author of Babylon. * Of confusion. And when you walk out, Elder Betts, of confusion, here's what happens. Everyone around you that's confused is now more confused. Hallelujah. And they want to drag you back into their confusion. I mean honestly, if you dare ask them one question about truth, they don't want to have a conversation, they want to massacre you. * Darling, if you're not confused, we can have a conversation and you won't mind it at all. But when you're so confused that I'm confusing your confusion, amen. And that's what I mean all Look, all you've got to do, just ask one person that says Sunday is the Sabbath, ask them one question. Where does it say that? And just sit there and look at them. * And you'll see confusion turning into anger. You weren't trying to make nobody angry. You just I'm not confused. And I'm sorry that that upset you, but I'm not confused. So we are called, Sister Judy, to come out of confusion. We are called to walk in a straight and a narrow way and there is no more confusion. * So that is what Babylon is. Everyone in Babylon is teaching a different truth. There is no clear voice of truth in Babylon. In Babylon, bondage looks like liberty. And liberty As a matter of fact, when God's people had received the liberty of no more confusion, they wanted to go back to the confusion. Oh, they did. * Did Did they not? Did not Did At least back there we had garlics and we had onions. At least back there we weren't We weren't confused about our confusion. I'm going to preach today somehow or another. At least BACK THERE WE WEREN'T confused about our confusion. Everybody around us was just as confused as we are. And then somebody put a post on Facebook that CONFUSED OUR CONFUSION. * GOD, I WISH I COULD PREACH. Quit confusing my confusion. Bondage looks like liberty. They were in bondage in that confusion. They didn't even know the name of the God that they worshipped. They thought his name was God. Oh, yes. They didn't even know his plan for the ages. They were walking in confusion. And brothers and sisters, the thing about confusion is this. * When COVID-19 was going on and those few that were not confused about how your immune system works. We have a We weren't dumb. We understood how the immune system works, okay? We're so sorry that you didn't take time to research it yourself, but don't look at me if I'm the only one in Walmart without a mask on like I'm confused. * And now, instead of turning to your neighbor and saying, "Well, you know, what do they know we don't know?" No, you turn to your neighbor and say look at that weirdo. See, because your confusion has become your comfort zone. But Yahweh showed me a vision of a zombie army walking in confusion a decade ago and he showed me what we would look like when we came out of that confusion. * Now, what does any of this have to do with the message today? It's all Babylon. Now, when we get to the book of Daniel today, you're going to find Daniel telling a story that he wants you to know about. It's not the rise of Babylon. Daniel's going to tell you about the fall of Babylon. He's going to tell you how it's going to happen. And he's going to tell you how it's going to happen, brother Damian, by telling you how it's already happened. * Oh, yeah, he's going to show you the letters and hope that you get the message. Always, the book of Daniel is the letters. Revelation is the message. But because you don't know how to read behind the letters, you've missed the message. So, Daniel's going to give you clues to that message. Now, in Daniel chapter 4, we're not reading there today, he shows you God's power over the nations. * Where to plant presidents and kings and uh he laughs at your democracies when you think that you vote in presidents. He laughs at you, America. You think you have vote for a president. No. No, we what he does is he shows up in Butler and he votes in front of the whole world. I'm too weak to preach today. God votes for presidents by showing up in Butler, Pennsylvania, taking a bullet and flipping it a little bit and he votes and he shows the world who he chose. * Oh, yes. And then we get some confused Babylonian Messianic Christian believer that wants to come and tell me, "Keep politics out of the pulpit." I'm like, "You poor pitiful fool, you. You're so confused. You don't understand your whole Bible is politics." The whole book of Daniel is politics. All Jeremiah was politics. * All dealing with kings and world leaders and God set the voice of the church to speak to those world leaders and to position them. The problem with the church, they're so confused, they've kept politics out of the pulpit and they gave it to Hollywood and then we cry with the condition our world is in. You lazy servant. The Bible said that Yahweh sent Daniel to be part of the court of the king. * Why? Because God sets up leaders. Takes them down. I'll prove it to you. On January the 20th, just a few days from now, heaven has already been given its orders to show up on January the 20th. What am I talking about? I'll be happy to tell you. For the first time in centuries, six planets on January the 20th, six of them, will line up in a straight line. * With the naked eye, you will look up and see six planets in military order on the day of the presidential inauguration. First time in centuries. Say it again. That's right and we are the seventh the kingdom as well. Six kingdoms will show up and we will be there standing on the ground. So, there'll be seven kingdoms there, seven of us. * Go look at Oh, I went I've done been all over AI searching these planets out. They've been given an order. They don't They don't line up ever. They And I you don't even You don't You don't need a telescope. The naked eye will see Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Uranus. All six planets will line up on inauguration day. God showing up for politics. * But because you've been in Babylonian churches, you want to keep politics out of the place that God put in charge of politics. I'm Daniel and Daniel is me. You're Daniel. God has placed you on the earth to make the will that's being done in heaven come to pass on earth. And I'll give anybody $10,000 to prove to me one place in the Bible where we're supposed to stay out of politics. * I'll pay you right now. You won't have to struggle no more. I'll give you $10,000. I will show you where he said, "Don't you hide your light under a bushel." You are the light of the world. Go out there in the realm of politics and be a light. He told Daniel, "Go to the king's court and be a light." Yahweh is in control of this world. * And he is But see, see how I just said that? Let me show you how confused Babylon is. I just said God's in control of this world. So, you know what Babylon says? That's right. So, we're just going to let him handle it and we're just going to pray. Sorry, don't work that way. He always looks for a man. * He said, "Heaven has to connect with earth. They have to work together." But Babylon's confused about that. And that's why in this nation, end-time Israel, this nation has been so perverted. Oh, don't ever blame it on the Satanists and the witches and the No, it's the church's fault, darling. Somebody lied to the church. Somebody Satan transformed himself to a minister of light and stood in a pulpit and convinced us to let our light stay in a prayer closet. * The problem is heaven is not disconnected from the earth. Heaven is not disconnected from the earth. Thy will be done on earth exactly as it's being done in heaven. What do you mean being done in heaven? I'll show you. Let me show you. I'll never forget when Yahweh spoke to me and said, "Go put your feet on the ground everywhere Donald Trump is arrested. * " See, I got so many people that love me dearly and I love them and they're so desperate for me to meet Donald Trump, but I want you to hear me. Hear me well. Some of us are not opportunists. I couldn't care less if I ever meet the man. I fulfilled my mandate. He don't impress me. He does. I obeyed him. I was never a Trump fan. * I was always a Yahweh fan. And I did what he told me to do and to be where he told me to be. Now, opportunists want a picture with him. But you don't understand I believe what I preach. And I believe that the smallest among us are the giants of this world. Unknown and unappreciated heroes of faith. God said, "Go stand everywhere that man's arrested. * " And we obeyed. And then he told me for inauguration, "I want you to be there." It's costing me a lot of money to go and some of you money we don't have. But I wonder I wondered why God told me to be there. And then I said, "Well, wait a minute. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. The planets are coming in heaven. * I think I'll do my part on earth. Hallelujah." Y'all didn't catch it. All right, I'll try again. Praise God. Hallelujah. I Some of y'all act like you don't hear a word I'm saying. Just cuz I'm not screaming. I'm screaming. I promise you I'm screaming. I'm the seventh planet. Don't you understand? I'm the seventh one. You are the seventh one. * On earth as it is in the heavens. You got to do your part. Heaven works with earth. I'll prove it to you. Just like you might meet some homeless person that's struggling financially. I'm being honest with you. They need lunch, they don't need prayer. You can take that however you want to take it, but you're only confusing yourself. * Oh, he said, "Don't pray." I I can't stand when do people do me that way. Listen. Listen and quit talking. Listen. They don't need lunch, they don't need prayer right then, they need lunch. And they starving and you tell them, "I'm praying for you." Well, don't. Give Give them $10. Feed them. Why? Thy will be done on earth as it is in is in heaven. * Well, I'm going to pray for God to send you lunch. He's trying to, dummy. Go get it for him. Why? Thy will be done on earth just like it If God told them six planets to show up on January 20th. Do you not think he'll put you as in somebody's world as a planet? See, the earth has to work with the heavens. Just like that day when Elder Morgan woke up. * Said, "Father, today I want to meet somebody." And now the whole Latchney family is here because that planet stood where you were supposed to stand. We are working with heaven. I'm glad to know we're working with heaven. It's just like those of you watching me right now that support my ministry financially all over the world. I appreciate the prayers. * God knows I do, but I can't pay one bill with them. This week I've given away $10,000 to help people. I can't do that with just prayers. Ain't nobody hearing me now. You've got to You've got to Listen, you If them planets align up, when you going to line up? If them planets will get in place, when you going to get in place? Thy will be done on earth Y'all think them planets ain't going to show up? Whether we there or not, the heavens obey. * The heavens obey. If God can ever get the earth to obey like the heavens, Woo! You can use me, Father. Hallelujah. I want to be obedient like the planets. If God tells you to be somewhere, don't send your prayers, get your behind there. Why? We don't need the planets to pray for earth, we need them to show up. * Now, Brother Vaughn, are you preaching against prayer? Be silly if you want to. Okay? Ain't nobody preaching against prayer. But what I am telling you is the purpose of prayer is to get your behind to get in line with those planets. Amen. Hallelujah. Now, in Babylon, you're not going to hear that preached. In Babylon, you're going to be told confusion. * But when you walk in this ministry, here's one or two things happens to everybody that walks in this ministry. They try to find the first exit sign they can, or they jump all the way in. There's no in between here. There's none. You None. Why? Because there's only one choice between confusion and clarity. And when you hear clarity, when you hear it, you've heard it. * Come on. The confusion fell away. And it may jolt you. It may jolt you, but confusion will fall away. If you'll get that Jezebel rebellious lesbian spirit off of you and submit to authority and say, "I don't know everything. I'm not as smart as I thought I was. Somebody put it together for me so I can see the beauty of the word of God. * " Amen. Hallelujah. Many read the letters of the book of Revelation without getting the message. Let me show you why. I'm going to prove to you. Here's how you can know if somebody has seen the message of the book of Revelation or read Either or. If they've read the letter, they're preaching about Armageddon. But if they got the message, they're preaching on the fall of Babylon. * Because behind those letters, Armageddon ain't even got nothing to do with the valley of Megiddo. People are so What you don't understand, God uses letters to bring you a message. And the message, Brother and Nick, which in the book of Revelation has nothing to do with the end of the world. It's got to do with the end of Babylon. * I want you to hear me. God ain't trying to destroy the world. He's trying to destroy Babylon. That's all he's trying to destroy. Hallelujah. Oh, hallelujah. I was listening to the AI podcast today on my newest one I just did about the kingdom of God. And the computers were speaking to each other. And they said, "You know, Pastor Vaughn's message does bring so much more hope than we learned in the Christian church. * " Hallelujah. Amen. Everybody in in in the Christian church wants to preach about Armageddon. They want to preach about fire falling from heaven, darling, sweetheart. They want to talk about the plagues, darling, sweetheart. The plagues already came. You can find the exact same plagues in Egypt. You can find the blood in the water, you'll find the locust, you'll find the frogs. * That's already happened, darling. Uh it's all a spiritual book. But because you've been trained in Babylon, you're reading it with a carnal mind. Amen, honey. They almost there. Now, the thing you're going to find in the book of Daniel is Daniel does tell us how ancient Babylon It He does tell us that it fell. * But one thing that Daniel doesn't talk much about in his writing is how. How many of you saw the movie or the play Daniel? All right. Do you remember when Belshazzar saw the handwriting on the wall? And then if you look up to the left, there was Daniel and the Hebrew boys looking out the window noticing somebody draining the river. * But nobody in the castle in Babylon saw it. And then suddenly, here comes King Cyrus out of nowhere and takes over Babylon. Just like that. But it really wasn't just like that. There was something going on in the river. Oh God, help me. I wished I had ears today. Didn't I start this sermon off in the book of Revelation about a river? So, we know Daniel talks about Babylon fell, but he doesn't really tell us how it fell. * But guess who does tell us how it fell. John the Revelator. Let's now go back and read our text again. Revelation 16. You're going to find out that you had the ABCs, but you didn't have the message. Hallelujah. Come on now. That Urim and Thummim lighten up. Now, Daniel told you historically that Babylon fell. * But John the Revelator is going to pick it up now and show you how it will forever fall. And it will start the same way that it did in the book of Daniel. And the sixth angel What is an angel? A voice. There would be a voice come in the sixth day. And he pours his bowl his judgment up on that great river Euphrates. And its water will be dried up. * So that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. It Who do you think King Darius and King Cyrus was kings of the east? They had come from the east up the river. Glory. Yahweh sent Daniel into Babylon. Now, some of you will know why you were trapped in Babylon so long. Oh, rabasi. * And you were the flag post that prophesied Babylon will fall. And God is sending the kings of the east up the river of Babylon, that great river Euphrates. The put that graphic up, brother. Of the river Euphrates. Now, I want you to see this river. It's the longest river. It's almost 2,000 mi long. It starts in the Armenian mountains. And it covers most all of Asia. * Now, this region, watch it, flows through Turkey, which is the old Ottoman Empire. But now I want you to notice this river flowing down through Iraq. That was Babylon. Now, how many of you remember in the play about Babylon when they rode the boat down the river? The city of Babylon, if you'll remember, was on both sides of that river. So, watch this. * On both sides of that river, right there in that Baghdad, Iraq area, was ancient Babylon. Make you wonder why Revelation, and that is the Euphrates River, why is Revelation so stuck on the Euphrates River? Because it's just a repeat of the book of Daniel, darling. It was through that river See, Babylon was protected because that river is so curvy and shallow through Babylon that they couldn't bring their warships to Babylon. Babylon was protected. * It kept its people enslaved because of that river. But I want to tell you what this region was. It was Many people believe that the original Garden of Eden was in this area. Thank you so much, elder. I might should have stayed home. I'm I'm really not doing this the justice that it needs today. Guess what the first thing that ever happened in that region? The first lie that was ever told was told in that region. * The first efforts at religion happened in that region. The Tower of Babel was built right there. The first murder that was ever committed happened in that region. The first grave that was ever dug was dug in that region. The first war party that was ever assembled was assembled in that region. It is here that Abram, Abraham lived in this Babylonian region. * That is a very important area to understand if you're going to truly comprehend what God is doing in this hour. Let's read about these rivers in Genesis 15. Thank you. And verse 18. But there's something that you need to see. For anyone that can get across that river, if you'll look to your left, anybody that can get across that river is going to enter the Canaan land. * That's Canaan land right there. You not see Damascus and Israel? You see that whole area there? That was the promised land. But we got to get you out of Babylon and get you across that river. We got to dry that river up first so we can get you to cross into the Canaan land. Read, elder. Genesis 15 and 18. Is that right? Yeah. Yes, sir. * In the same day of the Lord In the same day the Lord Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates. Now, what Hold on. Hold on now. Yahweh said, I've given my people Israel all this land up to the river Euphrates. * Listen to me. I want to tell you why God's so interested in the river Euphrates. It's stopping his people from crossing over to the promised land. His people Israel is stuck in Babylon. And they cannot get out and get over to the promised land until that river gets dried up. Oh, please don't listen with a carnal mind today. I beg you. * She Some of you it's already dried up for some of you and you crossed over. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Some of you has crossed over that river into the promised land. Always. Always. Always. Now, what happened when the kings of the east came in the book of Daniel to take over Babylon? The kings of the east came up that river. * And when they got to that river, they diverted the water. And they began to lay stones in the water to cross over. And they destroyed Babylon when they destroyed the river. Now, I want to show you in the book of Isaiah chapter 44 verse 24. I'm going to read this cuz I have it already. Everyone turn their Isaiah 44:24. * The prophecy I'm about to read to you was given two centuries, 200 years before they crossed this river. Yahweh says, go to verse 25. I will cause the boasters to fail. I'll make fools out of your diviners. I'll cause wise men to draw back. I'll turn their knowledge into foolishness. Verse 26. I will confirm the word of my servant, which was Isaiah. * And perform the purpose of the messengers. It is I who says of Jerusalem, she shall be inhabited. And the cities of Judah, they shall be built. And I will raise up her ruins again. Verse 27. It is I that says to the depths of the sea, be dried up. And I will make your rivers dry. Verse 28. It is I who says of King Cyrus, he is the shepherd. * Glory. Glory. Yahweh said, I'm going to dry up your river, sister Sarah. But Yahweh never dried up no river. Cyrus did. Yahweh said, "I'm going to do it." Yahweh didn't do it. Cyrus dried that river up. But my baby, my friend, if Cyrus is Yahweh's shepherd, that is Yahweh drying up that river. Oh, I wish the church understood that. * And notice what Yahweh says about King Cyrus, the king of the east. And he will perform all that I desire. That shepherd will do what I said I will do. Yahweh told them, "I'm going to dry up your rivers." Oh, no. He raised up a man to fulfill all that Yahweh promised. IT WAS YAHWEH THAT PROMISED TO MAKE America great again. * It was Yahweh that said it. But Cyrus is my shepherd. And are y'all ready for something that see, Christians Christianity can't handle what I'm about to tell you. And Cyrus wasn't even saved. Yahweh don't need your permission to use nobody. He don't need you to understand why he uses whoever he uses. But his will is going to come to pass. * And see, if we don't get out of that mentality, so I want to ask all of you a question, Sister Lydia. Yahweh told his prophet Isaiah, "You tell Israel I'm going to dry up the river in Babylon." Okay? So, why didn't God do it? Cuz he's his prophecy, see, this is what people don't understand when they bring me that scripture to prove that Jesus preexisted. * They say, "Pastor Von, it says right here, Jesus said, 'Give me back the glory that I had with you in the beginning.'" What they don't understand is when Yahweh thinks a thing and then says it, it's it's it's already done. We're just waiting on time to catch up. The fullness of time has to catch up with what already exists. * He said, "I'm going to dry up the river." 200 years. That river was already dried up. It may have had water in it, but it was already dried up. When you don't comprehend that, you can't trust God. Your biggest enemy is time. God says you're healed, baby, I don't care if you got an oxygen tank dragging it. That water's already dried up. * And so, what does he do? He finds a king of the east by the name of Cyrus. A bad person, by the way. He had some dirty locker room talk, probably. How could y'all support such a man? Well, we didn't, he did. We just sort of agree with whatever he does. Don't you know he's not even a real believer? I ain't got no problem with that, either. * But I heard a prophet say he would become one. The point is, Cyrus, Yahweh is going to use a man. And he said, "Cyrus is my shepherd over my people Israel." Because my people Israel are stuck in Babylon. They can't get across the river. My people are stuck. But what has them stuck? I'll tell you. The river does. But what is the river? I'm glad you asked. * Yahweh said, "My people, why do y'all think all these churches are still even with perverts running them, still active and still going today?" Why do you think God's allowed this? Because inside those churches, there's Israelites stuck. And they can't get out. Pastor, why are they stuck? Because there's a river flowing. * What is the river? Uh the Bible calls the water of the word. The word is water. The reason God's people are stuck in Babylon. They've heard the word preached with confusion. And they don't know who they are anymore, and they're stuck in Babylon. THEY CAN'T COME OUT CUZ THEY DON'T KNOW THEY NEED TO COME OUT. THEY'RE STUCK BY THE WATER. * THEY'RE STUCK BY THE WATER OF THE FALSE WORD. They're trapped by the preaching of confusion. Why? Why would you cross over into freedom if you don't know you're bound? For 400 years they didn't try to cross that river. It took a voice by the name of Moses to open up a way FOR THEM TO KNOW IT'S TIME TO GO. * COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE. For 400 years they're sitting in that church happy as they could be. They didn't know. They didn't know that there was frogs in the water. You never heard me preach about them frogs? I preach who let the frogs out. Go listen to it. Go read the next verse. What's in that river? Frogs. What does a frog even in the story of Cinderella always represent? Voices. * Voices. And these were not just any frogs, they're called unclean frogs. The message they're preaching is an unclean message. It's greasy grace. It's a message of croaking. Amen. We're getting there. Listen to me carefully. The voices in the river is why God's people are bound in Babylon. Listen. The frogs are preaching an unclean message. * No holiness. No separation from the world. So, why would anybody cross over into holiness if they think they've got holiness? Now, think about it. If I'm over here preaching you need to be holy on this side of the river, but on that side of the river you're being told you can't be holy, why would you ever cross the river? You got frogs croaking. * And the river has bound you into religious confusion because all you hear, the frogs sound like the truth. Amen. Thank you, darling. One day, God raised up a Moses and gave him the Torah and said, "Now, I'm going to dry up that Red Sea and you're going to bring my people across on dry land. I'm going to dry up the sea. * My people are coming out. They're getting set free from the message of Babylon." And so, when you're watching the play, I was I was sitting there watching y'all. I knew I hadn't preached this yet cuz nobody caught it. I'm watching the play. Why do you think I cried in that play? Why do you think it affected me the way it did? Cuz I knew this message. * When I looked in that play, Daniel, and I saw them three Hebrew boys looking out the window, it was just a small part of the play, and they said, "What's going in the going on in the river down there? What is that happening in the river?" I said, "I know what's happening in the river cuz I'm part of what's happening in the river. * I SEE OH, HALLELUJAH. WOO! CHAPTER 45, verse 1. Listen to this. Isaiah 45 and 1. Read it. Thus saith Yahweh to Cyrus. Now, let me pause. Do you know what the word Cyrus means? In Hebrew, it's the word Koresh. The furnace of fire or the sun. Thus saith Yahweh to the fiery furnace. Thus saith Yahweh to the sun. Here's Messiah. * You think they had a cow when I said Donald Trump was Messiah of America? I just read it to you in your little in your Bible. The word anointed means Messiah. They lost it, Sister Sarah. You didn't see all They had me in Newsweek. They had me on on every I was all over the inner web. Pastor Vaughn, cult mega pastor, says Donald Trump is the Messiah. * Do you know why that don't bother me? I can't be confused by your confusion. You understand? I know the truth, and I'm sorry you don't. I WON'T BE AFFECTED BY YOUR CONFUSION. OH, PASTOR, you might want to be a little more careful. I'm not going to be dumb because the world is. Everybody's walking around scared to act like you not dumb. * Baby, I'll tell you you dumb so fast. I don't care. I'd say, "Quit acting up." What's my favorite line is Toto? Bunch of dummies. Dumb ain't bad. I'm not calling you stupid. I'm calling you dumb. Dumb means you don't want to know the truth. You like your old jack donkey. You don't want to know the truth. You know why people love being dumb? Cuz everybody's dumb. * All them people at the McDonald's drive-thru is all dumb. Eating that food from McDonald's. We all dumb. That ain't even real food. But everybody's doing it. And if you want to make us mad, come in that car line and tell us that ain't real food when they about to hand us some french fries. We'll show you we like being dumb. * I just helped you understand why people won't buy what you selling. They're in line. They're being fed by Babylon. And we messing with their groceries. We're messing with their dumbness. Now, friend, if you're watching, I love dumb people, but I will not be dumb. I won't be. I want to walk in the truth. I'm going to search that word until I lose my blindness and my dumbness till I can answer your question so I can walk in the light. * I ain't never heard a pastor call people dumb. Well, you just did. Get over it, snowflake. I'm sick of this world. I'm sick of everybody being offended. Listen, the more I can offend you, the quicker I can get you out of here, and we can build a church. We can build the work of God. And what's so sad is you stuck for 30 more minutes cuz I still ain't finished. * Hallelujah. Now, what's God said he going to do with the Messiah, Cyrus? Can you believe God called an old sinner man anointed? Brother Shepherd, did you know your Bible said that? Okay. Well, good. Most people don't. Most people don't realize God took a a man and said, "I'm anointing you in spite of you to do whatever I've got to get done. * " You know why God couldn't choose a man like Mike Pence, who is a better man than Donald Trump, by the way, as far as Christian values? Do you know why God couldn't use a man like Elder Betts for the job he had for Donald Trump? Because we're too nice to drain the swamp. We're going to turn the other cheek. We're going to do what Christ taught us to do, and you going to be able to walk all over us. * God said, "I got to find a man that's not a Christian. Come here. I need to use you. I don't care what you say. I just told you the truth." Honey, if you believe Donald Trump is a Christian, you need help. He ain't no more Christian than my Well, he ain't no more of a Christian than Oh, he might have said he accepted Christ, but like I said, he ain't no more of a Christian. * You know, that's why I laughed when they said Trump's got a plan. I said, "Trump's part of a plan he don't even understand." So, I laugh when they call me a Trump worshiper because I'm his biggest critic. I don't That's why when they tell y'all you worship me, laugh at them because you know better. * You know IT'S A LIE. YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS. You already know. At that church, y'all worship that man. No, they worship the anointing. Learn the difference. I don't worship Donald Trump, but you couldn't pay me to put my hand on him. I wouldn't touch him for nothing in the world. God's hand is on him. And these poor dumb pitiful Christians that don't understand authority and honor, you're going to keep living in your defeated life running from church to church because YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE THE ANOINTING. * Mark my words, 5 years from now, they still won't have a church. Why? They can't be in one place. Don't take long for that old Jezebel rebellious spirit starts seeping out. God told Cyrus, "I'm going to use you. Matter of fact, you're my Messiah." I'm not getting off of that cuz I know it's rubbing people wrong. * When I get something that rubs people wrong, I stay there for a while. Why? Because I'm trying to get you right. You got to check If you're arguing with me, you're arguing with the word of God. God said it, not me. God said it, not me. He said, "Cyrus, I'm going to use you as a Messiah." And what am I going to do? Read the rest of it. * Let's read it. Let's make people mad. Read it. Thus saith Yahweh to his Messiah, Cyrus. Make people mad. Donald I mean, Cyrus. Whose right hand Where was that ear that got shot at? Whose right hand I'm holding. I'll jerk his right I'll jerk I I'm Y'all not hearing me. I I'm holding your right hand. The toe, everything on that right side. * Yahweh said I'm holding your right hand. I wish people heard the truth. Oh, do you know why Yahweh Do you know why people still can't figure out how this little ministry that never had more than 10 people after the Kendricks resigned. Why we never had more than 10 We so how God would take this little building and cause people to love us all over the world. * I'm going to tell you why. Yahweh took me by my right hand and said I'm going to fulfill my truth through your voice. No, you ain't got the best person NOW, YOU AIN'T GOT THE BEST personality and you don't have the cleanest CRIMINAL RECORD AND YOU DON'T HAVE THIS, BUT DO YOU HAVE A RIGHT HAND THAT YOU'LL GIVE ME? I'LL TAKE YOU BY YOUR RIGHT HAND. * NOW, why did he say right hand? Right hand represents authority. I'm going to give you my authority. And what am I going to do with it? Read. To subdue nations and I'm going to put and I'm going to put you in political office. Amen. Amen. Come on. That's what it said. You're going to subdue a whole nation. Against all the pollsters. * Cyrus, you're going to subdue a nation. You're going to come out of nowhere. But you see, just like Cyrus 4 years before, there was a prophet. Remember I brought you to Isaiah? I We're reading in Isaiah, are we not? 200 years before it happened, there was a prophet 8 years before Trump that made this same prophecy. * I'll take you by the hand. My brothers and sisters, Pastor Vond Why are you so fixated on Donald Trump? Let me help you out. You're still confused. I'm fixated on the timing of all things and I know what time it is. And Donald Trump just happens to be part of that last Trump. That's right. I know where we are and I'm sorry that you don't, but I can't be dumb with you. * I know the truth. I don't consider myself a prophet and I'm not prophesying, but I will say this. I don't see how we ever go back to a normal presidency in America. After all we've just been through, how do we ever go back to the regular rhythm in America? Something's been upset. I don't know if there'll ever be another American president. I truly don't. * Are we that close to the coming of Yeshua? See, it was never Trump I was excited about. It was timing. I understood God's taking this nation back and restoring it for an end-time purpose. Hallelujah. Could this be the last Trump? I don't know, but I do know one thing. I know we're mighty close to the end of the sixth day. * And I know that God raised God took this man right here who was a professional wrestler that hated Donald Trump. Him and his wife were atheists and couldn't stand Donald Trump and the hand of the Lord reached down to both of them and turned them around miraculously, supernaturally and stirred them up. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT ALL, BUT I KNOW SOMETHING'S UP. * And I want to be UP WITH THE UP. HALLELUJAH. Ladies and gentlemen, we have two presidents right now. Donald Trump is running the country now. He was running it the last 4 years. If you look at Joe Biden, you wonder it's almost as if he was a ghost, a fantasm in the middle of the Trump terms and you're like, that's the only way That's the only way God could make Donald Trump 12-year president and the number 12. * Now, he's going to have three terms. He is a 12-year He ruled for 4 years through the House of Representatives. And somebody said, Pastor Vond, God has always looked for a Cyrus or Now, how many heard Kim Clement's prophecy? He said this word. He Listen carefully. He said these words. He said I'll raise up a man and he will have a hot temper. Does Cyrus not mean hot? Fiery sun He'll probably cuss you out in a New York minute. * Hot-blooded Do you think Yahweh could have taken over Babylon with a little gentle shepherd? No. He had to have hot blood. Hallelujah. That's why when people talk of me, they's like, you know, he talks like no other pastor. I ain't never heard no pastor. I ain't never heard Baby, just call me sour. Just call me hot. * Drop it like it's hot. Just call me hot. That's all I know. Cyrus means hot. GLORY! Cyrus is called the king of the east. That word east is mistranslated there. It should say rising sun. In truth, King Cyrus was the king of the rising sun. King Cyrus of Persia was God's servant and guess who he was a type of. Christ. * Oh, yes, he was. Brother Vond, I don't believe that. You just said he was hot-blooded. About like when Jesus whipped them all with a bell? About when he turned the religious leader and said, "Hey, you sons of snakes." I love when people tell me, "You ought to be more like Christ." I'm like, "You can't handle it. * " "You ought to talk more like Jesus." All right, you ready? You son of a snake. You want me to talk like Jesus? He said, "You bunch of dead graveyards, you bunch of hypocrites." You want me to talk like Jesus? Can you handle it? Sun, fire, hot. The Bible said he came with a fire in his hand to fan a flame. God always has to raise up hot men. * Why? Because they've got to burn up the chaff. They got to see who can be offended by preaching. Anything that can be shaken will be shaken. And isn't it funny? Cyrus in Hebrew is Koresh. Did David Koresh not die in a fiery flame? Y'all don't remember David Koresh? His name is Cyrus. How did he die? Fiery flame. Listen to me. * Oh, yeah, God used David Koresh to expose lesbian Janet Reno and Bill Clinton. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. Ruby Ridge All that. Don't even get me started. God used David Koresh to turn a light on the US government. God always uses a Cyrus. How can he represent Christ? I'm fixing to give you all the evidence you need. Because it was Cyrus that conquered Babylon. * King Cyrus conquered Babylon. Now, I'm not going to read all these scriptures. I'm running out of time. That's exactly what he's doing. That's what he's doing, and he's doing it right now as we speak. At one time Solomon ruled all that land to the Euphrates River. Solomon represents Christ as well. There's going to come a time when Yeshua will conquer Babylon. * King Cyrus will return. It was a boundary to the promised land. Listen carefully. Listen well. The difference I want you to look at this screen. On the left is the promised land. The right is Babylon. I want to show you the only thing that separate you from Babylon. The word. The water. The lies of the word versus the clear message of word. * What separates God's people from Babylon is their love of clean water. Jacob's well. They don't want froggy water. They want Jacob's well. They want to hear when the preacher preaches he comes from a deep place of the pure word of God. Dig it out. The difference in a true Israelite is just like Gideon's army how they drink water. * Babylonians don't mind the lies of the frogs as long as they stay comfortable in Babylon. I'm going to try to close now. Hallelujah. Turn with me in our final verse, Daniel chapter 5. Just want to read a few lines here so that I can act like I preached out of Daniel. Since that's what I'm supposed to be doing. Hallelujah. * Daniel chapter 5. Now, this is about the time that Babylon is about to be destroyed. And I'm going to show you what Babylon looks like. Chapter 5 verse 1. Read that for me, elder. Amen. Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords and drank wine before the thousand. Belshazzar whilst was tasted the wine commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which was his father's, Nebuchadnezzar. * I'm going to show you why God hates Babylon. King Belshazzar is having a feast. And you're fixing to see what he does. You're fixing to see him mix the holy with the unholy. with the unholy. He's going to mix Sunday and Saturday together. Wow. He's having a feast. Babylon always takes no thought to the details. Babylon has no concern about holy things as long as they can have a good time. * They don't care when the Sabbath is as long as they've got the latest praise and worship team. They don't care when the holy days are long as the Christmas party goes well. Wow. Belshazzar represents Babylon. And he's having a church service. Oh, yes, I'm going to show you this is a church service. * They're calling it a feast. Wow. I'm going to show you they have in church. Read. Which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem. That the king and his princes, his wives and his concubines might drink therein. Hold on. Hold on. Here he is, the leader of religious confusion. But he's got a little sampling of the holy Wow. in his church. * Matter of fact, if you go read Ezra, it counts in detail how many cups, how many glasses, how many dishes were brought out. Show that graphic, the next one. This is a stone today that shows you where they took out that golden menorah. Babylon. But they're not throwing it away. They're bringing it to their church so they look like they like God, too. * They're taking that out of Israel, bringing it into the church, and what they're about to do is Now, they took all the glasses out of the temple. They took and everything's made out of pure gold. Why, this is what the priest ate out of. Oh, some of you people would have had a cow over priest eating out of golden plates. * The priest could only eat out of golden plates. They took all the dishes, and where is it at? Babylon. And so Belshazzar says, "Hey, church time. Go get me those pure Israelites that's mixing with us. And let's have church. Read. Then they brought the golden vessels Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of Yahweh which was at Jerusalem. * Yes. And the king and his princes, his wives and his concubines drank in them. They drank wine and praised the gods of gold Whoa. Didn't I tell you they was having church? church. Didn't I tell you they was having church? And what did they do with these golden vessels? They begin to have church. They was praising the gods They were praising their trinity. Wow. * with the golden vessels Wow, mixture. of the true temple of Yahweh. Wow. And I declare to you in churches all over Waveland, Mississippi tomorrow, there will be some golden pieces of Yahweh's true temple stuck in them churches praising those gods, those false gods of Babylon. Wow. You know why they're stuck? They've not yet heard a voice that will open the water for them to come out of her, my people. * I'm glad I heard the voice. They're stuck in Babylon. Read. And praised the gods of gold and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. These were not bad people. They was having church. But they didn't understand. If those golden vessels weren't in the true temple, it was mixed worship. Amen. Amen. mixed gold mixture. * And they was not killing babies. They weren't bad people. Right. They was just worshipping the wrong gods. And next week we're going to pick up to where a finger dropped down and said, "I'm sick of the mixture. I'm going to dry up that river, and I'm going to set my people free." Now, hold on. That's why I want to talk to somebody today that is so carnal minded. * I'm going to offend you. That when they saw me doing these podcasts trying to dry up a river for one more Israelite to cross over, they found fault. Listen to me and listen carefully. Yahweh is sending some secret soldiers up the Euphrates River to stop the lies of the water that's going into his people's ear. * It is our job to stop the water. STOP THE LIES. WE HAVE A CALLING at First Harvest Ministries. Stop the water. Put a dam in it. Put a dam in the lies. Pray to God somebody will hear one podcast that will make them just say, "What? What? There's a way out? There's a way out? And all of a sudden they'll come to the Red Sea. And Torah will open up a path for them to cross over on dry land. * Oh, the wonder OF IT. HALLELUJAH. IF MY WIFE would come. Remember this. Everything runs in twos. There's always the real and the fake. There is another river besides Euphrates. And it flows from the throne of God. The Bible said it makes glad the cities of God. I'm inviting you today to cross over the river of lies and find the river of truth. * Where the water is flowing freely. Where Yahweh's got clean water. Would you come this morning all over this sanctuary? Would you come and drink from another river today? Come on and cross over. * Cross over to the river of God that's flowing freely today. There's a clear message in it. Come into the river of truth. Swim with us. Would you ask the Father give me clean water? Clean water. If you're watching live, ask him for clean water today. Find the well. Find the well. Oh,
