The 7,000 of Israel, WHO WERE THEY? July 25,2026 - Middlebury, Indiana Transcript: Amen. Isaiah 58 and verse 12. Now, if you're a visitor today, I'm going to say some things that's going to challenge your belief system. I would ask you to take it and weigh it and don't respond. Just weigh it and see if these things be so. Isaiah 58 verse12. [snorts] And those of you will rebuild the old wasted places. You will raise up the foundations of many generations. I want you to think about that. the foundations of all those people I looked at yesterday, many generations, [snorts] there is a foundation to it all. And Yahweh says through his prophet Isaiah that there's going to be a people in the end time that is going to search for those foundations, those old foundations. Amen. and they are going to raise them back up. That's a prophecy for the end time. And then it says, "You will be called the repairer of that breach." Amen. And a restorer of the path to dwell in. Hallelujah. Now, how will we know who those people are? The next verse tells you. This is an end time prophecy. Hallelujah. The next verse tells you who these people will be. If you will turn away your foot from violating the Sabbath day. Is there anybody here today? I just told you who those people are going to be. They're going to find an old foundation called the Sabbath day, [cheering] and they're going to raise it back up. Hallelujah. He's showing you what the foundation is, the Sabbath day. He said, "These people will take their foot off of the true Sabbath of our God. and you will not do your own pleasure on my holy day. And you will call the Sabbath a delight. [cheering] The holy day of Yahweh will once again be honorable, not tolerable. Honorable. Amen. Hallelujah. And you will honor him by not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor engaging in idol conversation. You will find your joy in Yahweh. And those people, I will cause them to ride on the high places of the earth. That means ruling and reigning with Christ. They will be on the high places of the earth. And those people will feed the rest of the world with the heritage of Jacob your father. For the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it. Hallelujah. [applause] Hallelujah. Amen. [cheering] You may be seated this morning. Behind my house, we just acquired some land that's abudded to our house. And that land is full of woods. That land is full of trees. It's full of brush. In that property, you can't see anything because there's so much brush. So, I told Pastor Morgan, I said, "Pastor Morgan, I need a place to park my motor home." And I said, "I'm going to I want you to clean off this land a section here because I've been parking in my driveway and my wife can't drive. " [laughter] And backing up her car with my motor home close by scares me. Come on, folks. Wake up a little bit. Y'all act like y'all Baptist or something. And uh so I said we got to move the motor home because she's done broke one mirror off the car. And uh so anyway, Pastor Morgan got out there on that land and he called me. He said, "Come out here right now." Because we were going to have to build a slab for the motor home. 40 feet. That's not cheap, right? That's about 10 grand probably. Is there a slam? He called me. I was in my office getting ready for this sermon and he said, "Come out here right now." And I ran out to that piece of land and walked back there. I didn't run. You can tell. I walked and and I got back there. And you wouldn't believe this. On that land, there used to be a church. Hallelujah. You're kidding. Hallelujah. Hurricane Katrina destroyed it. Nobody knew about this church. It had been there since the 1900s. And that slab was so beautiful. There was nothing on it. 40 feet long and 20 feet wide. That slab provided had been there. Yahweh saved me 10 grand. That slab had been on that land. I've been there 14 years. It had been there since the 1900 early 1900s. Oh, hallelujah. 1901 to be exact is the title on it. That slab that the whole world forgot about. A hurricane could not destroy it. Tornadoes could destroy it. foundation. It was waiting for a man of God to find it. Amen. [cheering and applause] Foundation. Hallelujah. [applause] There is a foundation that come from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And throughout the years, what has grown up over that foundation is all the isms of religion. Yes. Catholicism, Baptistism, Pentecostalism, every Methodism, every ism in the world has grown up over that foundation. But Yahweh prophesied and said these words. He said that in the end of days, somebody was going to clear off that brush. Hallelujah. And restore that foundation. [cheering] We're living in that day. I said, I'm living in that day. Hallelujah. [applause] But I want you to notice who Isaiah said would restore the foundation. He said in the first line, "Those that be of you." Yes. It's in the book. It's in the book. It's in the book. He said in the book, "No, it's only one group of people that's going to repair the foundation. Those that be of you, the house of Israel." Amen. It will only be Israelites that will take the bulldozer and move away every truth, every untruth, mistruth, every religious overgrowth and will restore the Sabbath of the Lord. [cheering] [applause] You know, I'm amazed when I see people that came out of the Catholic Church. Yesterday in that museum of the Menanites, I saw people that gave their lives to leave the Catholic Church. Amen. I watched them. There were stories of little children on ships dying, running away from the Catholic Church. Amen. Mystery Babylon, the mother harlot. They were all running away from her. But what's always blown my mind is it was her that changed the Sabbath day from Saturday to Sunday. Right. It was the Catholic Church that decreed no longer, they threatened to call you a heretic if you continued to keep the Sabbath. Yeah. And they said instead the Pope changed it to Sunday and said, "This is the new Sabbath." And he said it by my authority. Sir, you have no authority. I don't honor your authority when it's outside of the word of Yahweh. [applause and cheering] Yahweh has never changed this Sabbath ever. Ever. Ever. But over the years, there's been brush grow over it. Yes. But God said, "I'm going to raise up a people that get on bulldozers." Amen. And they begin to move away everything that's grown over the Sabbath of the Lord. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Yes, sir. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And I want you to notice the last line if you would look at it with me. Verse 12. We are going to restore the path to dwell in. Hallelujah. Now, I want you to notice that he didn't say you're going to restore a path to visit once in a while. You're not going to restore a path to admire from the roadside. You're going to restore an ancient path to dwell in. To live in, to raise your children in, to grow old in, to die in. Yahweh is restoring a way of life that Christianity broke. Yeah. I was talking to Joe yesterday at the museum and we told him when we don't have a name for ourselves really except for the house of Israel. He said our people was like that. He said we didn't fit in Catholicism or Protestant. Neither one accepted us. And I said, 'Well, brother, we're in the same boat, right? Because there God's people have always been a separated Amen. people from Babylon and from Egypt, the world and the church. [snorts] Oh yes. Why? Because the church at large is a byproduct of the Catholic authority itself. And God said to my people, "Come out of her. Run. Get out of there." And that's what all these Amish did. That's what all these Menites, they all ran from her. But my question today, if you run away from home, but you're still calling mama for a recipe. Come on now. [applause and cheering] Did you really run away? Wow. That was good. Did you if you take her doctrines with you, did you really leave her at all? And that's the question we have to ask today because brothers and sisters, I can show you every Christian doctrine today finds their genesis in the mother harlot church. Amen. But God said, "I'm going to return you to a path to dwell in." It's going to be a path that will be restored by those that be of you. Your entire Bible is the record of a fall from that path and the promise to restore it. That's what you know, that's what your whole Bible's about. There was a path created in the Garden of Eden, a good path, a path to dwell in. Now, it's a narrow path, Elder Marin. Everybody can't walk it. The Bible said, "Few there be that find this path." They find religion, but they don't find this path. This is a separating path from the world. He said, he said, "I created a path, Adam, for you to walk in. It's called one word. I dare you to guess. Obedience, holiness. That's it's that narrow. Obey the word. If the word says today's the Sabbath, today's the Sabbath. That's it. Okay. If the word says If the word says uh that there's only one God, there's only one God. If the word says it, that's the P. Your whole family may disagree. But these people I studied about yesterday, they left family. They left friends. They left everybody to walk this path. Amen. And brothers and sisters, God is calling a people in this hour to restore this path. Hallelujah. [applause] Hallelujah. Now, Pastor Von, that sounds great. I believe every bit of it. Let's find out. We talk about restoring the path. We're ready to do that. Well, let me ask you a question. And some of you already know this. Bear with me, but I need to say it again. How is Yahweh going to restore the path in the end time? Your Bible tells you, and I thought I'd show it to you. Malachi chapter 4, verse 5. Now, let me ask you, let me find a visitor today. Sister, it's your turn. How many comingings of Christ does the Bible tell us about? One as a baby and then So, how many comingings of Christ are there? Two. There's when he was a child, a baby, and when he comes back as a king. All right. Now, we all all of the Jewish people were looking for the first coming of Christ, were they not? Oh, yes. all the they knew it was time for Daniel's prophecy, the middle of the week, the 70 weeks. They knew all that. They knew it was time for the first coming of Christ. Now, how did they miss the first coming of Christ? The answer is in your Bible, and we're going to read it in just a moment. They did not miss the coming of Christ. They miss the coming of Elijah. Let me show you. Now, keep in mind, how many comeings of Christ are there? Keep that in your mind. Let's read it. Malachi 4:5. Don't believe anything I teach. You better read it in this book. Open your Bibles. If you don't open your Bible, you'll do what you did in your last church. You'll believe everything they taught you. That's right. Malachi 4:5, "Behold, I will send you Elijah, the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of Yahweh. " Does anybody know what day is the great and dreadful day of Yahweh? The day of the Lord when he returns is what day of the week? The seventh day. The millennial. The seventh millennial. The day of the Lord is the seventh day. It's never changed. He was resurrected on the seventh day. Ah, yes, he was. I'm sorry your church taught you he was resurrected on Sunday morning. They lied to you. And I'm sorry about that. They lied to me too. Because I made a mistake of trying to find that in my Bible. Not there. I looked. I looked high. I looked low. I looked east. I looked west or east. Well, which I looked to find a Sunday resurrection because that's why we keep Sunday. Pastor Bon Christ was resurrected on Sunday. Show me the open your little book and show that to me in the Bible. I'm waiting. I've been waiting for 14 years. Amen. Oh, well, it says it says Mary came to the tomb early on a Sunday morning. No, it's not what it says. When does a day begin? In the evening. The Bible said that on the first day of the week, when did the first day of the week start? Saturday night. The Bible said Mary came while it was still what? Dark. Yeah. And when she got there, he wasn't there. Yeah. It wasn't Sunday morning. Yeah. She got there in the night portion of Saturday. Yeah. While it was dark. Amen. Now, this means that when she got there, the stone was already rolled away. It wasn't so he could get out. He didn't need that. It was so she could see in. Amen. Amen. That's your only scripture in the Bible about a Sunday morning resurrection. The Bible said that Yesua, when they asked him, "How do we know you're the true Messiah?" Because they had a ton of Messiahs back then. Brother Dickman, he said, "I'll give you one sign and one sign only. the sign of Jonah. He said, "I will be in the grave three days." Now, I'm getting there. Hang tight. [laughter] And they say, "Well, that's right, Pastor Von. If he died on Good Friday, which he didn't, that's another lie they fed you. He died on Friday. That's Friday, Saturday, Sunday. There you go. Three." But there is a little problem with that because he didn't just say three days. He said three nights. Yes, he did. He said if I'm not in that grave exactly three days and three nights I'm the false messiah. Amen. So let's do the math. It's real simple. He dies on Friday. Friday night is night number one. Saturday night, night number two, he would have to come up on a Monday to have three nights. Amen. But we know when he died, he died on a Wednesday. Yes, sir. Wednesday night, Thursday night, Friday night. And watch this, children. If he stayed in that grave one second past the Sabbath day into the next night, that would be four nights. So he rested on the Sabbath by his father's command and got up and began. Amen. [applause and cheering] Amen. I'm sorry they lied to you. It's not my fault. But people get mad at me for telling them the truth. That's right, brothers and sisters. That lie is what created Sunday Sabbath. That's right. But God said, "I'm going to restore the truth. I'm not going to do it. Watch what he said. He didn't say he was going to do it in the early 1800s with the Menanites or the Waldenians. No. You know, they killed 400 Wians in one day for not giving up the seventh day Sabbath. The Catholic Church did. Don't believe me? Go study. They killed them because they were Sabbath Saturday Sabbathke keepers. The Pope went in, killed them all over in the Swiss mountains. That's our people. And God said, "I'm not going to do this until just before the great and dreadful day." That's the Sabbath day of the Lord, the 7,000th year. He said, "Right before that, I'm not bringing Christ back. I'm bringing Elijah back. [applause] That's right. First, [applause] now for anybody that disagrees with me right now, I didn't write that book, but I know how to read it." And you can't take that verse of scripture out. No matter how hard you try, I will send you Elijah, not Christ. Elijah, just before the seventh day. Hallelujah. Now, when he said that, we're going to find out in a minute what Elijah supposed to do just before the seventh day. But let's turn over because you may not, some of you may not be Old Testament Christians and you need to read it in the New Testament. Well, I've got one for you. Let's go to Matthew 17 11. The words of Yesua himself. [clears throat] It breaks my heart how people separate the Bible into an Old Testament and a New Testament. There's no such thing. There's one covenant and it was restored through Yesua the Messiah. Hallelujah. But there's only one covenant. Amen. Oh, he said, "And after those days, I'll restore the covenant of Abraham Isaac. It's the same covenant." Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah. Now, let's read Matthew 17. I tell you what, why don't we let's start at verse let's go right before that to find our context. Matthew 17 and you need to read this with your own eyeballs, not mine. Read it with yours. And they let's start at verse 9. And as they came down from the mountain, Yesua warned them, saying, tell this vision, no man, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead. Then his disciples asked him, saying, "Why then do the scribes, now who are they calling the scribes, the prophet Isaiah, say that Elijah must come first." Now, why were they confused? Let's pause. Because they he's claiming to be Yeshua, Jesus. But they knew better, right? They knew the scriptures and they knew that he can't come until Elijah until Elijah comes. We're not talking about reincarnation. We're talking about the spirit of Elijah, the anointing of Elijah. And listen to what Yoshua tells them. Verse number where are we at? 11. Yesua answered and said to them, Elijah [screaming] will come and do what? Restore all [screaming] things. [cheering] Hallelujah. Now watch this. At that moment, they were very confused. Why? They didn't know about a second coming of Christ, right? So why are you saying Elijah will come when there's only one coming of Christ? They were confused, right? What do you mean Elijah? He has to come before you come. And then Yosua clears up the confusion in the next verse. But I say unto you, Elijah came already. and you didn't recognize him. In the same way, the son of man will suffer at their hands. Now, listen to verse 13. Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them about John the Baptizer. They were so busy looking for the Messiah that they overlooked Elijah. But Yesua tells them a secret that they were not expecting. He was telling them there will be two comingings of Christ and you will miss him both times. You don't look for that because you didn't look for the restoration of truth when it came into your life. Hallelujah. [applause] Don't [cheering] miss it. Don't miss it. Absolutely. Messiah. That's exactly right. All you're looking for is to be raptured. That's all you're looking for. You're not looking for somebody. Do you know your Bible says before Yeshua can return, there must be a restoration of all things. People get shocked when they say, "Are you ready for the coming of the Lord?" I'm like, "No, God, no. I'm ready for Elijah." Amen. Why? Because if Yesua returns to earth and the path has not been restored, he's not coming to restore that, he's coming to a path that's already restored. Hallelujah. [applause] [cheering] Amen. That's why when I talk to people about doctrine and they say these words to me, well, when Christ comes, he'll clear it all up. No, he won't. Elijah will clear it all up. Now, I'm going to take this even deeper today. Since we've weighed it out ankle deep, we're going to go to the knees. We might get to the hips later. Yeah. If you are satisfied with your religion, you will miss Elijah. Because only those that are looking for him will hear him. That's the truth. And everybody ain't looking. Now, what is Elijah going to do, Pastor Von? When this great end time ministry shows up, what is it going to look like? How will we know that this is a restoration movement? Why don't we let the Bible answer that for us? Isaiah chapter 40 verse three. Don't believe anything I teach you. Read it from the word. God is going to bring you truth in your life to see what you do with it. Amen. If you would rather stay comfortable, then you're not kin to those people that died coming out of Catholicism. They followed after truth. Sadly, a few years ago, they all joined back up together. Hallelujah. God help us. Come out of her, my people, and don't ever go back into her. Isaiah 40:3, the voice of him. So, wait a minute. Wait a minute. What is Elijah? Listen, he's not a man. He's a voice. [applause and cheering] I found a voice. You're not looking for a man because a man will let you down. You're not looking for a man because a man is made of flesh and will fail every time. What you're looking for is something beyond the man called a voice. Amen. [applause] Amen. The voice of him that cries in the wilderness. Look around. You see this room? This is not inside of any church. This is a wilderness. Amen. Yes, sir. This is a people living. We don't have a church. That's right. We don't have a home. We're wilderness people that all hooked up. And I'm going to show you how that happened in a minute from the word of God. And what does this voice cry in before the coming of the Lord? Prepare the way of Yahweh. Make straight in the desert a highway for Elohim. Now watch this carefully. It's not God, Elohim, Yahweh, that's going to make the path straight. It has to be made for him. All right. Anybody out there? Why? Because he will not return. His son will not return until there is a school of prophets ready to teach the world the way and the path to dwell in. Amen. [applause] And I've got news for you today. Pardon me if I take these stupid shoes off. They're hurting my feet. He said, [screaming] "Every valley will be exalted. " Now, what is that? The ditches that you fell in false doctrine. You know, every false doctrine is a ditch. Let me give you an example, shall I? Amen. We left the Catholic Church over doctrine. On one side, you have the Trinity. That's a ditch. Over on the other side, you have oneness. That's a ditch. Somebody's got to come and raise them ditches up and make it a path to dwell in, a path of truth. Now brothers and sisters, you may not realize it, but we are so close to the coming of the Lord. If Elijah does not come now, there won't be no coming of the Lord. All right. Come on. I've got a question for you. Would there have been a Jesus Christ, a Yesua Hamashiach, without John the Baptist? There couldn't have been because it was John the Baptist that caused the people to repent first. [applause] [cheering] Yes. [applause] It was John the Baptist, that Zadakite high priest that came out from the Kuruman caves and walked there and brought up the people to repentance. Amen. and he restored a path to dwell in. [applause and cheering] Hallelujah. And because he restored a path, he spent years probably baptizing those people. He spent years preparing a path. And when Yesua came, everyone looked and now they were ready to believe. Behold the lamb of God. Hallelujah. Beautiful. [cheering] Hallelujah. Now, here's my question. Why were they ready to believe it when none of Israel believed it? A voice had prepared them for what was coming. Oh, I wish you could hear me today. A voice had prepared them for what was coming down the road. And because of that voice, when they saw the kingdom of God in that man Yesua, they believed it because of John. Amen. And every hill shall be made low. And I love this part. And the crooked will be made straight. all them crooked doctrines that didn't make sense before. For example, when we die, we go to heaven or hell, right? Wrong. The Bible never says that. That's a crooked doctrine. Somebody's got to come in and say what the Bible says. The dead know nothing. Say what the Bible says. that in the grave no one gives you praise. Say what the Bible said that the saints are sleeping until the resurrection of the saints. Somebody's got to set it straight. [applause] And somebody said, "Well, Pastor Von, we're going to let the Holy Ghost set it straight." Why didn't he do it? He's had 2,000 years You know why I don't do it? Because that's Elijah's job. All right. All right. [cheering and applause] Hallelujah. Oh, it's getting a little squirmy in here now. Praise God. Elijah doesn't come to build a new road. I love when people say, "Pastor Von, you're out there preaching new doctrine." Baby, baby, this is an old foundation. I hadn't brought anything new. Are you kidding me? I'm just bulldozing and finding right that. Look, look, look, look. It's coming up. It's [screaming] coming up. It's coming up. [applause] There's another one. Hallelujah. It's coming up. [screaming] Hallelujah. [cheering] [applause] Shane Vaughn has no new revelations. I'm Do you think I'm that stuck on myself? I've not taught anything. [laughter] My I just got a bulldozer's all. Hallelujah. It was already there. It was already there. Hallelujah. Oh, hallelujah. Oh, help me Lord. The crooked to be made straight. Go to Isaiah 35:8. Read it in your Bible. And a highway shall be there and a way and it will be called the way of holiness. The unclean can't walk on that highway. The wayfairing men can't walk on that highway, though fools they shall not heir therein. Go with me to Jeremiah chapter 6 verse 16. I'm trying to get it through today. Jeremiah 6 and16. Turn there quickly. Elder Baker, read that for me. Jeremiah 6:16. Thus says the Lord. Uhhuh. Stand in the ways and see and ask for the old path. Say, I want them old paths. Read the good. That's the good way. And then when you find it, don't say I found it. Walk in it. Uhhuh. But they said we will not walk. That's what the church says. We don't care what the Bible says. That's not what my church teaches. You're on a crooked path. That's right. Been there. If you follow a preacher, you're on a crooked path. If you follow, you're on a crooked path. You better follow the word of God from Genesis to Revel. That's the good path. And it's a straight path. There's no shadow of turning in this path. Find [screaming] it. [applause] Amen. Now, I'd like to show you the marks of the Elijah ministry. How you will know that you have found it. Let's go to First Kings chapter 18 verse 31. And I'm going almost done with round one. Praise. Tell them what happened. El Elder Richardson went to pick me up at the hotel and they got to the front counter and they had printed my notes out for my sermon today. And that lady, she's a Catholic lady. She asked Elder Richardson, it's 50 pages. She said, "That's his sermon [laughter] for one service. We love it. [laughter] We love it." She got nervous. She said, "I ain't going to that church." Hallelujah. No, I'm kidding. Hallelujah. Not quite, but Amen. Let's read First Kings 18:31. And Elijah took 12 stones according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying, Israel shall be your name. And he built an altar. Verse 32. He built an altar in the name of the Lord and he made a trench around the altar to hold two seas of seed. What is the first thing an Elijah ministry will do? Number one, they will tear down paganism. Yes, you will hear them preaching against pagan holidays, pagan names, pagan You will Elijah came through and tore down the altars of Asharoth, which is Well, you all know I ain't going there today. I'll be there all day. The voice of Elijah will tear down paganism. Amen. And then he will rebuild the government of the house of Israel. Amen. How do we know that, pastor? I'll show you. He didn't build this altar with 10 stones. Come on now. 12. He built it with how many? 12. What is the number 12? Divine government. There are a lot of preachers out there today preaching truth. Some of some truth, but they're not restoring government. True. Now, I'm going to stay here a minute. Father, I have many people that love the Sabbath, but they hate government. They don't believe in government. They don't believe in order. They just jump from one Bible study to the next. They have no authority, no order, no go. They don't connect with anything or anybody. Why? But when Elijah comes, here's what he'll do. He'll take those 12. The first thing he rebuilt was order government. Why do you think it went eight stones? Now, why 12? The 12 tribes. Putting everything back in order. When I first started this ministry back in 20, the Lord spoke to me. He said, "The first thing I want you to do is anoint and appoint 70 elders." And I said, "I ain't got 70 people, much less elders. " Our headquarters church had about 10 people in it at that time, but you want me to appoint 70 elders? He said, "I want you to build it like Moses built it in the Torah. I want you to establish elders in every state and put the stones of order back in place because the only thing and I'm going to show you in a minute that Elijah organized the end time movement. Now, why am I saying that? Because before this man came along in the Menite church, there was no order. They were scattered, fledgling, falling apart. God raised up a man. Amen. That took those scattered people and gave them order. And how did he do it? He began to write. These are his writings. And those writings begin to connect the people together. I don't know what you think the end time move of God is supposed to look like with everybody still scattered instead of gathered. I don't know what that looks like. [applause] H how do you have a move of God when you act like the scattering is supposed to last till Yeshua comes? No. The scattering last until Elijah comes and then he gathers the stones and begins to build the work of God. [applause] I'm going to tell your wife that [laughter] bunch of dummies. I don't tell your wife she ain't got to follow a man either because you know you a messed up man. But God still said she had to follow you. Say it. You do follow a man called your husband. God always uses a man. Always. Oh, why? That's his order. Amen. And God sent me. And that's the worst thing I've had to fight is people want to come under the order of the government of the house of Israel. But God's going to do it in my day. I'm going to see it with my eyes. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. [applause and cheering] Yeah. But what if that man makes a mistake? I'll tell you one thing, that voice won't make a mistake. That voice is truth. And baby, if a man messes up, the voice never changes. The truth never changes. Follow that voice. You will never go wrong following truth. When somebody brings you the truth and you know it's the truth, baby, jump on board. I don't know what kind of games you playing. Jump on board. This ship is moving. [applause] As husbands, we want our wives to follow us while we follow nobody. That's not the way order works. No, no, no, no, no, no. God places in his church order. Why? Because Satan loves when the work of God is scattered. because when it's scattered, it's ineffective. But today, he gathered from Ohio to Michigan. He He gathered into one place 12 stones to build the work of God. To build the work of God. [applause] Whenever you come to the feast of tabernacles in two months, you will find hundreds and hundreds of people that were scattered. They were scattered just like you. They were scattered, but they heard a voice. They saw they saw the truth and were gathering together as 12 stones. Hallelujah. [applause] What's the second sign of an Elijah ministry? Second Kings chapter 2 verse three. And I love this sign. Now, now the sons of the prophets who were at Bethl came out to Elijah. Let me show you how you'll know when Elijah has risen and said to him, "Do you know that the Lord will take your master from over you today. And he said, "Yes, I know, but don't speak to me about it. Keep silent." Go to second Kings 6 and1. I'm going to show you the sign that God is beginning to build those stones. Let's read verse one through verse 4. And the sons of the prophets said to Elijah, "See now, the place where we dwell with you is too small for us. Please let us go to the Jordan and let every man take a be from there and let us make there a place where we may dwell. So he answered, "Go. " Then one said, "Please consent to go with your servants." And he answered, "I will go." So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down the tree. All right. Elijah always builds a school. Teach the people. He never works by himself. Elijah has partners called the sons of the prophets. [applause] Yes, sir. Elijah was not a one-man show. Elijah raised up men just like him. Elisha, we need to hear it. Elisha was one of those men. Now, there were 7,000 [screaming] other people in Israel. Watch this carefully, Sister Jody. Elijah got to the place, I'm almost done. And he said these words, "I'm the only one that believes like this. I'm the only one left." He said, "I'm the only one that believes in the straight way. " God said, "Son, you look like you're stupid. Don't say that." Amen. He said, "I've got 7,000 that are scattered and quiet." Amen. Amen. Nobody knows they exist. Elijah, that's right. Elijah, they're out there. They don't know you. You don't know them. But here's what's going to happen, son. I'm going to supernaturally connect y'all together. Amen. [cheering and applause] Hallelujah. And how am I going to do it? It's real simple. Out of those 7,000, not all of them are going to move where you live. That's right. Come on. And another. And they're going to come to you eventually, Elijah, and say, "This church is too small. We need to rebuild. There's too many of us now." Hallelujah. [applause and cheering] He said, "Out of those 7,000, I'm going to send you a school." And here, notice what that school is going to do. They're going to come to Elijah because they recognize the authority and they're going to say to him, "Can we get a little piece of land out of town and start cutting down some trees and building some things uh for us?" Why? Why? Because Elijah, we want to help you in the work that God's called you to do. God will always raise up a school of prophets. Always. [applause] What's the third sign? I'm trying my best quickly. The third sign of Elijah ministry. Let's read it. First Kings 17 and4. And and uh saints, if you're a visitor, I normally preach four hours, but I'm going to trim it down to two for your sake today. Hallelujah. That's the truth. First Kings 17 verse4. And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you. All right, let's talk about these ravens. Elijah's ministry was not under Jezebel. Remember Jezebel was the church. That's right. She sponsored all the priests of Israel. You realize Jezebel paid the priest of the church. You know that they they ate at her table. But they were Israelite priests of the temple. There was one preacher that she couldn't pay him. She couldn't control him with money. Hallelujah. God said, "I'll show you, Elijah, that you don't need a big church. Here's what I want you to do, Elijah. I want you to go down by the brook and drink of truth. I want you to go down to the river of truth, and I'm going to send ravens and a gentile widow to finance your ministry." Now, wait a minute. You'll never need one dime from the church because Elijah, I'm fixing to supernaturally provide for you. You're going to go down by that creek and there's going to be checks from Hong Kong, Japan, places. I'm going to provide for you to be able to write those books and give them away all over the world. I'm going to pay for your searches.com. I'm going to pay for everything. Here's how I'm going to do it. [applause] Now, why did God send unclean birds to feed the prophet? A ra Why didn't he send eagles? Why not? Why unclean? I'll show you why. Because it's a prophecy of the end time. The internet and YouTube is all unclean. Yes. And it was that that God financed this ministry through unclean birds. [cheering] [applause] Hallelujah. When God first called me, I told the church, I said, "There's not one of you." I don't even know who tithes in our I don't keep up with that. I told him, I said, "If I ever have to be controlled by the people, I'll retire, go home, cuz I got plenty of money on my own. I'm done." That's right. And I told them that day, I said, "I'll never ask you for an offering. I'll never raise an offering. I'll never come before you for you to pay for anything." And for six years, I have kept that word. I've never asked this church for one offering. We've never raised an offering for anything except for people that were struggling in the church that needed help. That was it. But for me, for the min, we've never done a Have we ever done a fundraiser? You know why? We've got ravens that feed us. Do you understand me? Yes. Does anybody see that? [applause and cheering] My one trip to pray for one lady tonight in Virginia is $3,000. It's worth it. Just one trip. Who do you think pays for that? Ravens. Amen. Thank you, Father. They know my PO box. You know, you understand now. I've got ravens. [screaming] They they land in my PO box every week. [cheering] [applause] If you're under a ministry that's having to raise offerings, get out. That's right. If you're under a ministry that needs money, get out. Elijah don't need money. Ravens feed Elijah. [applause] Hallelujah. If you out there having to do a car wash, you in the wrong church. Find one that don't I can't explain our blessings where they come. I've never seen nothing like it. Amen. I You get nervous. I'm not I may stay here for a minute. It don't Money don't make me nervous. You know why? Cuz I know where it comes from. When I made a decision to walk this narrow path, the ravens came. And I've come to tell you, he'll do the same for you. When you sell out, the ravens will come and provide for you. They will supply your every need. [applause] We've never asked for one penny in this church. Today, you'll never see an offering raised. Why? We got ravens. Oh, yeah. I went to my mailbox from Hong Kong, a man I never met, $100,000. Don't even know who he is. He heard a voice. He heard a voice. That's right. Why am I telling you? Well, you keep talking like that. Ain't nobody going to give you no money. Ain't nobody ever gave me money. Come on now. People don't scare me, honey. You mean you I'm a different kind of fella. None of y'all scare me. I know who I am and I know who he is and I know who this ministry is. We are blessed. We are blessed. We are blessed. We've never had a bill unpaid. We've never been a day late on a bill. Why [screaming] these ravens? Yes. God told me, "If you'll preach truth, I'll put you on the high places of the earth." And he'll do the same for you. If you'll sell out the If you'll sell out, if you'll sell out, God will provide for you. [applause and cheering] That's the truth. That's the truth right there. Quit straddling the fence and God will provide for you. All right, I'm done. When I get done, let's go over to [laughter] quickly. All right, now I want to Yes. most of it away. Oh, I give 90% of it away. Why? Because God don't send blessings to me. He sends them through me. Amen. That's right. Because baby, if I'm blessed, there ain't nobody in this church all across the world hungry. God provides for this work. [applause] Hallelujah. [applause] Now, I've got to get to the part of the sermon nobody's going to like and I want to correct something. Yesterday in the museum, I came to the end of it and I agree. Oh, I loved I loved everything. And this is no reflection on that museum, Joe. Great people there. Amen. But when I got to the end of the museum, the end of the tour, I had watched people give up their lives to leave false doctrine like you. They had no home. They had no place to call their church home. They were desert dwellers basically. I watched on every wall we went through. Everybody needs to go. I saw the people loving God so much that they left it all. But when we got to the end, I looked up and I saw what most people love to see. Most Christians think this would be a wonderful idea. Most Christians because they're so compromised in truth that they would look up at that and say, "That's what it's all about. But it broke my heart. few years ago, I don't quite remember the details, somewhere in Switzerland, all of these movements decided to join back up in unity. And they got a letter from the Catholic Church giving them basically their approval on that gathering back together. People that had given up everything to stand in truth now because there is no more truth. The churches today, even every faith, I could name them all. Nobody cares about truth. They care about going to church. But truth has been thrown to the wayside. And I come today to tell every one of you something. If you're not careful, you'll wash feet with compromisers. Amen. You will believe this lie from hell. And here's what it says. You ready? This lie we must overcome. But you have to go to church somewhere. [clears throat] Pastor Von, I know that where I'm going teaches a little error. I know that. I know Christ died on a Wednesday. I know that p and I know what day the Sabbath is, pastor. I know. I know. I know. But it's better than not going at all. Isn't it? Can you show me where that's written in your Bible? Show me the chapter in the verse that says a believer must sit under falsehood rather than sit alone. It's not there. Error is measured by degree, but it's all the same sin. Let me give you an example. There was a man that offered a woman $100,000 to spend the night with him. She thought about it, said, "Of course, no. I'm not going to do that. He raised it to 200,000." She said no. He raised it to $500,000 to spend the night with him. She agreed. [snorts] Well, when they got to the room, he said, "Really? Would you do it for a dollar?" She slapped him. Do you think I'm a prostitute? He said, "Of course you are. Just not for a dollar." I said, "More than you just picked up on." A tiny amount of error or a big amount, you're still a prostitute. [applause] by the truth. Hallelujah. And shall [screaming] it not [applause] because sir [screaming] I won't do it for a dollar, a 100,000, 500, a million. [screaming] I'm not a compromiser. [applause and cheering] In her mind, she was only a prostitute. If she gave into a lot of error, no. Because if you'll sit under one error, you'll sit under it all. Amen. Well, pastor, I tell you what, quit well pastoring me and let's read what the Bible says. Luke chapter 16, verse 10. Luke chapter 16. Look, if you want somewhere to gather and just get together with people, go down to the Masonic Lodge, okay? Oh my. All right. If you just looking, go down to the to the Shriners. If you just want to get together, go join the Boy Scouts. This ain't a get together. This is a highway of holiness. Amen. God's building it in this hour and people are starting to walk on it all over the world. Read Luke 16 and10. He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also. Hallelujah. And he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in a dollar or 500,000 if you're faithful. No. No, Pastor. I'm sorry. Sunday's not the Sabbath, sir. Well, Pastor Von, what do I do? Get on. Get on the highway of holiness with us. Amen. [applause] Jump out of Babylon. And and pastor. Well, now they where now the Bible study I go to, pastor, they believe everything you preach except predestination. I mean, except for pre-existence. Get out of there. Get out of there. Why? If you're if you're accepting, let me tell you something. If you're accepting pre-existence in 99% of all churches, preach it. If you don't know your christologology and you're in a church that don't even know the name of their God, come on. If you're in a place that that doesn't understand that the law is not done away with, how much are you going to put up with? I'll tell you now, you'll put up with it all for fellowship. Amen. I've got to hurry because that just didn't land too well. Preaching. Well, pastor, what am I supposed to do? Let's see what the Bible says. Hebrews chapter 10. The Bible said not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together. Pastor, I got to go to church somewhere. Well, I agree. You do need to assemble every Sabbath and every feast day. It's commanded in the Bible. If not, you're not a believer. You're a make believer. Amen. Somebody [snorts] say three. Three. There's three types of believers in the world. Unbelievers, true believers, and make believers. Amen. If you want to find the makeelievers, they're sitting in church and will not follow truth. They would rather be among the fellowship of the people than walking the highway of loneliness, holiness unto God. Hebrews 10:24. This tells you why you're supposed to assemble yourselves. Read. and let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works. The reason we're assembling together is to stir up good works. Here's what that means. Pastor, can I go to the church I've been going to? Absolutely. But you have a requirement. You can stay in the church you've been in. You do not have to leave. You don't have to leave Babylon. You can stay. But the Bible says while you're there, you have to stir things up with truth. [cheering and applause] They don't like it. Amen. The Bible said the reason you get together is to stir one another up to good works. Truth. Truth. So if they will let you stay and let you stir. [laughter] That's the question right there. Then stay as long as you want. [applause] They'll boot you out. But the minute you cry out that name Yesua, Amen. Yahweh. The minute you get there on a on a Saturday morning and and text everybody, where y'all at? It's the Sabbath. Stay as long as you want. But mark my words, you won't have to leave, baby. [laughter] That's the truth. Oh, no. You, Pastor Von, you believe I got to leave my church? Nope. You ain't got to leave, but you going to leave. Why? Because you going to get a phone call. You've been see, but you have a duty to tell the truth. Amen. So, I'm telling you today, you have to make up your mind. There are people that listen to me every Sabbath and then they jump over and listen to this one, jump over and listen to that one. And and and let me tell you something. I'm gonna say this as straight as I know how to say it. I have not found one assembly in the world that has the revelation of truth. That we have discovered in this ministry. Amen. There is a home for you. Amen. [applause and cheering] There is a home for you. Hallelujah. But you see the reason you got to jump, you don't want nobody in your business. You're a loner. There's no room for loners in the kingdom. And I'll prove it to you in just a moment. Pastor Von, I've been in the wilderness. God put me there. I know he did. But he didn't put you there to leave you there. He didn't put you there to leave you there. Here's [snorts] what Yesua said about people wanting to get together just to have church. He said, "I didn't come to bring peace. I came to divide everybody." [applause] It's in your Bible. Luke 12:51. It's in your Bible. He said, "Don't think." Now, wait a minute. How you going to say you didn't come to bring peace when you're the prince of peace? Sadly, your church hasn't taught you that he is not the prince of peace right now. That's right. He's the prince of peace at his second coming. That's why peace on earth, there's been no peace since he got here. It comes in the second kingdom, the millennial reign. That's when we beat our swords into plowshares. Because there will be peace on earth [clears throat] at last. Amen. But because your church taught you about heaven and not the kingdom on earth, you don't know what I'm talking about. Amen. But when you come to understand the coming kingdom of God here on earth, all those scriptures in your Bible will suddenly make sense about no more war. The Bible said there'll be war up till the coming of the Lord. Matter of fact, when Yesua returns, the Bible said it'll be in the middle of nuclear war. That's right, pastor. I don't believe I don't care what you believe. What does the Bible say? Matthew 24. Yesua said, no, I'll quote it. They can look it up later. Yesua said these words. And I've got my new book will be out tomorrow on Amazon called Except the Days Be Shortened. Yesua said these words, "When I return, if I don't return, there will be no flesh left alive." Does anybody know of any other time in history when no flesh would have been left alive except this one? That's right. Yes said when he returns the heavens will melt with a fervent heat. Baby, you can't melt stars. Yeah. You can't melt the moon. So, how's the heavens going to melt? That's nuclear war. That the atmosphere will be on fire. Literally. Amen. There is no end to war until the prince of peace comes with his army of saints and and all nations will bow down and call him Lord. Then there will be peace on earth at last. Amen. But until then, he said, "Don't ever think I came to bring peace." He said, "I came to turn you against your own mama." Wow. Isn't it funny? That's not the Jesus you ever served. He said, "I came to turn your daughter, your son against you, sir, Pastor Von, I don't believe it. That's your problem. You're a Jezebel devil." And you've been identified. I'm quoting the words of your savior. Sit there and rebel against me if you want to. It ain't me, honey. It's a voice of truth and something in you hates it. Amen. He said, "I came to turn families against family." Now, do you want to serve Jesus still? Why does nobody preach about that Jesus? Nobody. We preach the I'm talking about the Christian church. The Jesus they preach love, love, love. I'll show you what love is. When a parent's got a belt across the butt of a child, that's love. Amen. Do you know the only person that doesn't whip children? Pedophiles. They'll never correct a child cuz they love them too much. Your God's not a pedophile. Yes, sir. He'll beat you until [clears throat] you cannot walk. until he gets you on the highway of holiness. Why? Why did he want to turn father against mother? Because if they're holding you back from the highway of holiness, it's worth him cutting them off. Oh, yes, it is. That's right. Yes, it is. I'm proving right now nobody believes the Bible. Listen, I said when I say nobody, I'm speaking euphemistically. Nobody believes the Bible. Yeah, they believe their church. The Bible said, "I don't want you joining together with unbelievers." [applause] But I love him. He said, "I don't want you marrying an unbeliever." I don't even want y'all married. and lay down our life for truth. That's that's what the Menites did. That's what the Amish did. That's what the That's what the early Pentecostals did. And we are we are their grandchildren. We God is raising those foundations up. I'm calling on you saints. When you find the truth, lock arms with those people and let's walk down the highway of holiness together. Hallelujah. [applause] Praise God. Jeremiah 15:16. Read what Jeremiah said. 15 and 16 and 17. Read it. Your words were found and I ate them and your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart. For I am called by your name, oh Lord God of host. I did not sit in the assembly of the mockers, nor did I rejoice. I sat alone because of your hand for you have filled me with indignation. Listen, Israel was full of churches, synagogues. They were there was on every corn. He said, "I sit alone because you have filled me with an indignation against false doctrine. " Now, I just skipped over about 20 pages for y'all. You can find it on searches.com. the entire sermon. Now, I want to leave you with these words. Come out. Yes, come out. But then come home. Amen. Hallelujah. [applause] We have a lot of people coming out of Babylon winding up nowhere. God's building a home among the apostolic assemblies at First Harvest Ministry. He's building a home. He don't want you to just come out. He wants you to come home. I'm going to read this to prove it to you. In Isaiah 56 3-7, I'm going to skip around. Follow me if you can. Read Elder Baker. Just I let me do it. Let me skip around. Neither let the son of the stranger that has joined himself to Yahweh say, "Yahweh has utterly separated me from his people." Oh no, you need to read that. He said, "Don't let anyone when they find the name of Yahweh believe that God has separated them from his house of Israel. also the son of a stranger that joins himself to Yahweh to serve him, to love the name of Yahweh, to be his servant. Even him will I bring to my holy mountain. What is the holy mountain? The government. Some of y'all got this twisted. You're celebrating. He called you out, but did he call you in? I'll prove it even further. Jeremiah 50 verse four. Let's read it. In those days and in that time, sayeth Yahweh, the children of Israel shall come. They and the children of Judah together. They shall go and seek Yahweh. Notice what notice what it said. Together they will go and seek Yahweh. They not not them each individually. They shall ask for the way to Zion with their faces saying come let us join ourselves to Yahweh. Did you see that? Joining together, they walked into the house of Yahweh. And I'm asking you today, when God sends you a a ministry with truth, he's calling you to walk with us, to go with us, together up to Mount Zion together. Hallelujah. I want to close with this. Jeremiah, Isaiah, Elijah, he said, "I'm the only one left." First Kings 19 and 18 is our closing scripture. First Kings 19. First Kings 19 18. Yet I have reserved 7,000 in all whose knees have not and every mouth that has noted him. I have reserved 7,000 remnant in the church. Israel was the church. But Israel was backsliden except for Elijah. Elijah was wrong. He was a prophet and he was wrong. He thought he was the only man left. Who were these 7,000? That's what I came to reveal to you today. Who? We all talk about Elijah, but had it not been for 7,000 that had that that had that same spirit of Elijah. You see, Elijah was never a man. It was a movement. Amen. There were 7,000 Elijah in the church. Hallelujah. You see, when I preach this message, people think I'm talking about me. Are you a fool? I'm one of thousands that Yahweh is raising up in the church. In the church. And they all have the voice. [applause] Hallelujah. I want you to carry that for a moment. Who were these people? Scripture never names a single one of them except Elijah. Why? Because God always has a leader, a man that leads. Scripture never names them [clears throat] 7,000 people, not one time. And that silence of their names is the revelation. Because the only way you can get to 144,000, you got to start at seven. Amen. And work your way up. I want you to watch this carefully. Look at what the Bible does tell us about these people. It gives us two descriptions of them. Number one, they were scattered until Elijah came forth to lead. Amen. They were all just like Elijah. They refused to bow to their church doctrine. They were all in Israel. They were all in the church, but 7,000. There was two things they wouldn't do. They wouldn't bow and they wouldn't kiss. That's their job resume. Knees that did not bow. Mouths that did not kiss. [applause] Hallelujah. Funny, there's not one mention of any of them preaching a sermon. None of them let the None of them leading the choir. I love it. We don't see where they worked a single miracle. We don't see one confrontation they had with Jezebel. Now, no, Elijah had something they didn't have. He was anointed to lead. He had a microphone that they didn't have. He had a opportunity that they didn't have. He had a miraculous platform that was given to him on Mount Carl in the year 2020. Nobody listened to my sermons. [snorts] Nobody. I preached the same message, mother. I've been preaching it for 14 years. 300 views on YouTube. I was excited. One time I had a thousand views. I was so excited. Nobody listened to me. November the 8th, 2020. Yahweh spoke to me on my job in Ohio. It was in Ohio. There's a bridge. There's a bridge that separates two states right there. Kentucky. Is it Kentucky and Ohio? I was right there working. Yahweh spoke to me. I was working under a tent with my company. He said, "Go get your phone and speak to the nation. Thank you, Father. Thank you, Father. I'll never forget that. It was a moment of destiny. I said, "Speak to the nation." Wait a minute. I have 50 followers on Facebook and I think 300 subscribers on YouTube, but you want me to speak to the nation? I heard that. I went and took I told my coworker, I've got to run to my I'd rented a Jeep I was working in. And I sit in that Jeep and God said, "Take your phone and say what I tell you to say." I took my phone in my hand. Y'all all know this story. I'm sorry to repeat it. That night before I got home, I had 300,000 subscribers on YouTube in one day. On Facebook, 50,000 friend requests in one day. My phone is ringing from uh uh what's that news agency? The big one. Uh Reuters. Reuters News is calling me want to interview. And I'm like, I don't even know what's happened here. They want to interview me. My wife calls screaming, "Honey, have you read USA Today?" I was on the front page. Who is Shane Vaughn? That was the title. Hallelujah. And oh my god, I got scared because I have not lived a perfect life and I knew everybody was about to Google me. [laughter] You got the Did anybody ever watch honeymooners with Ralph Norton? Amen. Amen. I'm a I called [applause] [cheering] I called my wife. I said, "Oh my god. Oh my god." Cuz I knew the next I just knew. I I knew I knew. I said, "Oh God, what have I done?" I was scared to death. We all came running one time. The next day, religion, religion news called me. Go you. It's all over the interweb. Go look up Reuters news. Shangva at in one day even though I was among 7,000 of you in one day God gave me a Mount Carmel so I could have a voice and everyone sitting in this room today you're here because of that 7 minute video [applause] everybody. Hallelujah. I want you to know that is the only difference in me and we're all Elijah. Oh, I receive it. Amen. Hallelujah. I I I didn't ask that. That fame has cost me dearly. Oh yeah. Because anytime you're well loved, you'll be well hated. Oh yes. I'm attacked night and day as much as Donald Trump almost. By people that hate me without a cause. I didn't ask for this. And if you're smart, you'll never ask for it. You'll enjoy your quiet life. But God had to have a man. Hallelujah. That could stand. And the only reason I can stand, I want you to hear this, because when I was a baby, my own mother and father didn't want me. I grew up without a mother's love or a father's love. God took them away from me, so I'd never depend on human love. [cheering] Amen. [applause] You listen to me and I want you to listen. Even my enemies, I want you to hear me. If your own mama don't care about you, you really don't care who don't care about you. You understand? God prepared me. To where you can't hurt me, baby. I've been hurt. I grew up hurting, crying out the window. My my the foster mother that raised me, she found me on the Mississippi River Bridge. Do you know what I was doing at New Orleans? From Greta over to New Orleans. I at 3 years old was on that bridge when the police found me looking for my mama. I feel you, pastor. Until you've lived a life where nobody in this room, you children, nobody here should ever know what it's like not to have a mother's love. Amen. Nobody. I never had it. And I thank God I didn't because nothing you can do to me can ever come close to that. You understand? God prepared me for the hatred of my enemies. But you listen to me when you know the truth. Uh when you know you're serving God with everything in your heart. There is nothing that can hurt you. Nothing that can stop you. [applause and cheering] There's a shield around my heart so thick and I've needed it because people's walked out on me that I love dearly. But I I can't ever I have no friends in this ministry for a reason. I don't get close to anybody. I told Pat yesterday, I said, "I can't get close to anybody because I can't afford for you to be my friend." Number one, I can't correct you if you're my friend. And number two, I can't hurt when you walk out the door. I got to keep building this thing. I can't let nothing stop me. Brothers and sisters, you listen to me. God will send Elijah. He will send him a school not of many babies but prophets. Not of He'll send prophets. This room is full of prophets. [applause] Hallelujah. [cheering] This room is full of prophets. Normok is a prophet. Jill there. These are prophets. Oh, Pastor Von, I don't believe in prophets. Let me tell you something. You poor child. Get my book called The Apostle right over there. You know, I've heard that there's some that don't agree with Apostle. I dare you. I'll pay you a $100 to read this book. Where's it at? It'll shut you down so fast you'll be embarrassed you ever said that. [applause] You know what? Give me every one of them. Read it. Pastor Von, I don't agree with it. I don't care what you agree with. You listen to me. Until we all come into the unity of the faith, do you know when the whole world will come into the unity of the faith at the return of Christ? Until then, I give you apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, and evangelists. Amen. [applause and cheering] Those are gifts to us. Holy Ghost, lead them wherever they need to go. Pick you up one. Hallelujah. [applause] Listen to me. How you going to until Do you know the whole world's coming into the unity of the thing? Yes, sir. You know that, right? When when Yeshua returns, when every knee bows, that's the unity of the faith. Hallelujah. Yes. Until then, you need fivefold ministry. Yes. Well, pastor, I I not apostle. Wait a minute. Show me that in the Bible because I see where Paul I see where uh uh uh three other men are called apostles that were not original apostles. Junia, shall we go down the list? God is raising up the fivefold ministry whether you like it or not, whether you understand it or not. [applause] Cuz the apostle is the only one that ain't scared of you. The pastor's scared of you. He depends on you for a living. The apostle ain't scared of you. The apostle is going to tell you the truth whether you want to hear it or not. And he's going to go on down the road. Love it. Brothers and sisters, the prophets in this room, every one of you, if you love truth, that's why my sons and daughters will prophesy. It simply means they'll speak the truth. Hallelujah. Amen. Do you think prophecy is foretelling the future? No. That is the gift of the word of knowledge. Hallelujah. Prophecy is telling the truth. [applause and cheering] I got them. Yes, sir. Anyone that stands up under the anointing and tells the truth, they're a prophet. I told you we was going to get hit deep today. I'll save neck deep for my home church. They can handle it. Hallelujah. Oh, let's let's try to close now. I've left 7,000. Do you know why they couldn't find each other? Those 7,000 people, they were waiting on Elijah. Even though they were Elijah, there had to be a moment to bring them together. Now, if you'll turn with me. Well, I said that was the last scripture. Never mind. Hallelujah. After Elijah, God spoke to Elijah, and you can read it later. You don't have to read it now. First Kings 18 and4. He said, "Go and find Oadiah. Where's he at, Lord? He's in a cave like you were when you get there, ordain him. And in the cave with him, there's 150 other Elijah. That's right. God started Elijah's ministry by connecting him with Oadiah. He said, "Ordain him an elder and all of his house and his region, his state." And God said, "I'm going to start building the school of prophets through Obadiah." You can read that whole story when you get home. And I love what they told him. When those prophets came to Elijah, they said, "Sir, we came to dwell with you." Why? You're anointed just like I am. There's nobody in this room not as anointed as I am. Nobody. I'm just in a different office. There's Do you know Donald Trump's better than nobody in this room? But the office he sits in is higher than us all. There is not an a person in this room that's that has the spirit that doesn't have the spirit of Elijah. God is calling us across the nation to come out of hiding [snorts] and let's go together [clears throat] and build something that Satan is afraid of because he's not afraid of you. Amen. Amen. You are nothing to him. But when the reathering begins, when he knows that you can text this sister and that one and there is a network of prophets coming together, he'll fight it with everything he has. [applause] I leave you today. I stopped by Indiana to see the school of prophets and I came to tell you children, love the truth, buy the truth. Don't ever compromise. Don't ever sell it because this generation is depending on Elijah and his school of prophets. God bless [applause] you. Hallelujah. [cheering]

Summary

The message teaches that Isaiah 58 prophesies an end-time people who will uncover and restore the ancient foundations of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, especially the seventh-day Sabbath and a life of obedience and holiness. Malachi 4, Matthew 17, Isaiah 40, and Isaiah 35 are used to identify the Elijah ministry as the voice that restores truth and prepares the way before Yahshua’s return. The sermon further teaches that Elijah restores not only doctrine but government, order, and a school of prophets, gathering a scattered remnant into the house of Israel. The call is to come out of Babylon, refuse compromise, walk the highway of holiness, and join together with those restoring the ancient path.
