The Days Of Elijah (Part 1) Zoom Bible Study - 9/26/25

* We're going to the book of Malachi. We're talking about the day of atonement tonight, but actually we're talking about more than atonement. I'm going to touch on all of the feast a little bit tonight, but from a way that uh I've never seen it before until the Lord revealed it to us. * And uh we're going to start off with Malachi 4 verse 5 and verse 6. Elder Morgan, I'll let you read that tonight if you'd like to. >> Yes, sir. Amen. Thank you, Apostle. >> Amen, sir. >> Malachi 4:es 5 and 6. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of Yahweh. And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. * Amen. Now, we're told that this Elijah, the this particular Elijah was not John the Baptist. This particular Elijah that Malachi is prophesying is to show up on the scene just before like the last 10 years, if you will. Just before the dreadful day of Yahweh. What day is that? The millennial reign. >> Seventh day. * >> The the seventh day. So, we know that right before that day comes, there's going to be Elijah. Now, we know that it was not John the Baptist and its ultimate fulfillment because John the Baptist did not fulfill this prophecy. Let's take this prophecy and take it apart little by little. The first thing that John the Baptist or Elijah rather is going to do is turn the hearts of the fathers to the children. * The children are the lost tribes of Israel, Israelites. John the Baptist did not do that. And they're going to turn the hearts of the children, the lost tribes, back to their lost identity, the fathers, Abraham, Isaac, Yakob. John the Baptist did not do that. And if this Elijah does not come just before the coming of the Lord, the Bible says that Yahweh would smite the entire earth with a curse unless that Elijah shows up and stops the curse. * Now, most people read this and they think, "Well, that is John the Baptist." But we know that Yesua said these words. I'm not going to read them right now. I've done it many times. Yesua said Elijah will come and restore all things. It didn't say that Judaism would come. Messia messianic movement would come. * It didn't say the Pentecostal movement would come. It said a voice would come that would clear up everything. A voice would come that would restore truth all things that no other move of God before it would straighten up. Now this is a prophecy. If this does not happen, you can forget the coming of the Lord. More important than the coming of Yesua is the coming of the voice of truth, >> the voice of Elijah. * >> And that is something that you better get in your heart. And especially if you believe you've heard that voice, you might want to hold on and understand the hour that we are living in. Now, John the Baptist did not prevent the land from a curse because 40 years after his ministry, Jerusalem was totally destroyed. * So we know John the Baptist was not that Elijah. We know that he was he had the spirit of Elijah but he was not this Elijah. The truth is a greater Elijah than John the Baptist is coming. Now, the saddest thing about John the Baptist is he was just a preacher crying out, "Make way the straight path of the Lord. * Straighten your life up. Straighten up." That's all he preached. And he was baptizing people for the remission of sin as the legitimate high priest of the Zedekites. He was doing what Yahw called him to do. And nobody knew he was Elijah. Nobody. Nobody. So much so they went to Yesua and said, "Hey, you're not supposed to be here yet. * " Because the prophet said, "Before you come, we should be looking for Elijah." And Yeshua said, "Behold, Elijah's still coming, but I tell you, he was already here." And you didn't know what preacher you was listening to. You had no idea the voice you was listening to. You thought he was just preaching, make straight, make straight the path of the Lord. * So, in the end time, we are promised this same thing is going to repeat itself. There'd be a man at the river preaching. People would pass him by and nobody would realize who he was. The message that was coming forth that clears all things up. I would ask you today to look around and find a ministry that has cleared up as much for you in the word of Yahweh as this little wavelin ministry has done. * You're going to be hardpressed to find that. hardpressed >> because there is none exist >> they don't exist >> and what we need to understand is this is the sign of the times of the coming of the Lord we should be the most excited people I I look today I look today do you know in the last one year in one year in one year this ministry has produced 24 books in one year of restored truth. * That's just in the last year of restoring paths to dwell in. Now, there's a reason I'm pointing this out tonight. This is how close we are to the coming of the Lord, the Messiah. And Yahweh is restoring Elijah for more than we've ever understood. Tonight, you're going to understand why he wants you to focus on Elijah more than anything because there was something hiding this whole time in the life of Elijah that I never saw until today. * And now it makes sense why he's going to send Elijah before the coming of the Lord. Because hidden in the life of Elijah is everything that nobody's ever seen before. I am teaching little girl. I'm not coming to get you a treat. Corinda, please help me. Shake it. She's trying to keep the Sabbath. >> Yeah. And keep it holy. * >> Yeah. >> Amen. Now, brothers and sisters, when you come to Shut my door, baby. When you come to understand this, then you will see Elijah as you've never seen him before. Yahweh gave us the Elijah story in the Bible for a prophetic road map. If you're taking notes, this is where the lesson starts tonight. The story of Elijah contains within it the entire plan of Yahweh in the story of Elijah. * And it's about the end times. The story of Elijah is all about the end times. That's why he's going to send a restoration of Elijah just before the end time to reveal to us the end times. Because as we focus on Elijah, he's going to reveal to us in that story what he's doing just before the coming of the Lord. * And so I'm thinking that tonight is the start of a new series. I don't know the title yet, but I'm feeling like God's fixing to unravel the Elijah ministry to us. And tonight's just a starting point of that. So, I think we're moving into a series now that because I can just see more more coming down the road from the ministry of Elijah. >> Days of Elijah. * >> Hey, there you go. We'll title it the days of Elijah. Wonderful job. Wonderful job. Wonderful job. That'll be the name of the series. The days of Elijah. That's what it'll be. Now, what I'm going to show you tonight is that every place Elijah went in his story, every miracle he performed, every confrontation that he had, it was all a picture of the feast of Israel. * It was all a picture of God's timeline from the first coming of Yesua to the second coming. So the reason Elijah is going to be restored before the coming of the Lord is so when you look at his story, you get confirmation of what the story and the plan is for the end times. So, we're going to dive in now and begin this journey in the life and the days of Elijah. * Now, there were five pivotal stories in the life of Elijah. And I'll pull up the graphic for you and uh see if we can't make it to where you can easily take a picture of this and and follow through with me during this lesson. Praise the Lord. Does anybody feel a good a good one coming on tonight? Hallelujah. >> Hallelujah. * >> A good Hallelujah. >> Hallelujah. >> Hallelujah. These are the these are the five places that we're going to talk about. The brook Cherith, Zerapath, the widow's son being raised, Mount Carmel, and then finally the rain. Okay, these are the five parts of Elijah's life that contain within them five of the feast of Israel primarily focused on the end time, the fall festivals. * And in this story, the most important festival of them all is atonement. where we just left out of it's all in the story of Elijah. Now for your understanding the brook Cherith is Passover. Zerapath is Pentecost. The widow's son being raised is trumpets. The Mount Carmel showdown is atonement. And then the rain is the feast of tabernacles. * And that's why, brothers and sisters, Elijah has to come before the coming of the Lord because contained within his ministry is the fall feast. and you understanding how and what's so important about those feasts is why Elijah must come first. Now, there's an ancient historian I'm going to prove to you right now that all of Elijah's ministry is about the fall festivals. * There's a historian by the name of Josephus. I have his book on my shelf. Now, Josephus was a he wrote in the first century is when he wrote but Josephus quotes in his writing from another historian. The name of that historian was Manander Man Der Manander. Now, Manander said in his writing that the drought of Elijah occurred during the Hebrew month of Tish. * Okay. The drought and the ending of the drought occurred during the month of Tish of Elijah's life. When Elijah was alive in the seventh month is when the great majority of his ministry is written down. The great events that we're going to talk about tonight happened during the month of Tish. So what's so special about the month of Tish? What makes it so different? Because brothers, you're sitting right inside of that month right now. * You're on the 11th day of the month of Tishri at this moment according to the Jewish calendar. The seventh month of the Hebrew calendar is when all of the events of Elijah's life take place. The major events, it's in the autumn feast days of Elijah's life. Now we have historical evidence that Elijah's life actually occurred during the very month. * Elijah's life, the the major Mount Carmel, uh the widows, all of this happened in the month of Tish, in the seventh month of his ministry, of his life. And that's when he is to reappear at the beginning of the seventh month, right before the great and dreadful day of the Lord. So what was Yahweh giving us in the story of Elijah? A living demonstration of his prophetic calendar. * Now most Christians don't understand that Yahweh does not do things randomly. Everything Yahweh does follows rhythm and rhyme and pattern. Everything he does has a meaning hidden behind it for those that have ears to hear and eyes to see. So when Yahweh gives us a story in the Bible as dramatic as Elijah's story, you might want to look beyond the happenings of Elijah's ministry. * You might want to look behind what you're reading in the life of Elijah because Elijah is not just entertaining us with the story of his life. He is teaching us how Yahweh is going to operate just before the dreadful day of the Lord. This means that if we follow Elijah's pattern, we can know where we are in Yahweh's timeline. * Now let's start the journey tonight in first kings chapter 17 and verse one. >> Amen. >> First chapter 17 and verse one. Go right ahead Elder. >> Yes sir. And I just want to thank you for this because >> thank you. >> I know this is going to be powerful. >> Amen. You know, I we are an Elijah ministry and I've read through this and read through it and read through it and I know there's so much hidden in there, but we need a teacher to show us. * Hallelujah. >> Thank you, Lord. >> I'm ready. >> Verse one. And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Galilee, said unto Ahab, as Yahweh, the God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be due nor rain these years, but according to my word. >> If it don't come out of this mouth, it ain't happening. * This is the mouth of authority. He said, this man went to the king Ahab. He went to the most powerful man in Israel, the most powerful man in Israel, and says, "Your majesty, I'm here to let you know I'm shutting off the water supply for three and a half years for the whole nation." Your Majesty, you're welcome. Talk about being bold. * When you hear the voice of Elijah, it will be so bold. It don't care who. It's not intimidated by anybody. Nobody's money. Not intimidated by nobody's knowledge. That voice is bold because it knows who it is. It knows from whence it gets its strength. Elijah walks up to the most powerful man in the world and says, "I'm cutting off the water for three and a half years, and if my mouth don't open, it will never end. * " Now, he was not being dramatic. This was Yahweh using Elijah to establish a prophetic pattern. And I remember another voice four years ago that spoke to Joe Biden and said, "The lion will roar in 24." The a voice spoke to the president of this nation and to the leadership of this nation when no one else was declaring it. * Everyone else was waiting for a re uh inauguration and a this and a that and but there was a voice that declared what God was going to do in the nation. That voice is bold. It will look in the camera and say the eagle will fly again. Why Donald Trump is president today? Because the voice of Elijah, the prophetic voice of Elijah said he would be. * >> Amen. >> Because Yahweh's leaders rule this nation. We are the reason the the land has not been struck by the curse. Why? There's a boldness of truth that's never intimidated ever. For three and a half years, not one drop of rain, not one fell in Israel. Not one. Now remember, Israel is what? The church if you will. * The kahal, the eklesia. Israel is God's people. Who is Ahab? The false pastors over God's people. Pastors controlled by women. Pastors controlled by the spirit of a seducing wife. Jezebels that try to control the throne from the backroom. This is the Christian church today. Seduced by his spirit, putting a man in the pull pit, but yet the woman is the pastor. * Amen. >> This this is where the modern church is typified by King Ahab, Jezebel. And so when you're reading the story, see the end time church, not Ahab, not because Elijah's life is about days just before the coming of the Lord. For I will send Elijah. Think about Elijah before the coming of the Lord. * And then it will all begin to make sense to you what's happening in the church world all around you. The brooks dried up. The crops failed. The livestock died. It was a national disaster of epic proportion. But here's what you must understand. You're reading a story about Elijah and a drought. * And yet it has nothing to do with that man Elijah or a drought at all. I'll tell you what it has to do with. There's another prophet that chimes in. Amos 8 verse 11 verse 12. Elijah's life is the end times and we never knew it. We never understood it. But I'll send you Elijah just before. In other words, Elijah will come and reveal to you what Elijah was all about. * Cuz these are the days of who? We sung about it and we didn't know what we were singing. >> Elijah. >> Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Yeah, these are Elijah. >> Say it again. >> What' you say, >> Elder? >> I believe she said, "These are the days of Elijah, declaring the word of the Lord." >> Declaring the word of Yahweh. * Amos 8 11-12. >> Amen. Behold, the days come, saith Yahweh, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Yahweh. Read, >> and they shall wander from sea to sea, and >> hold on. They will go from church to church, YouTube channel to YouTube channel, ministry to ministry, and they will search from the north to the east for one thing, truth. * >> Amen. >> They will go to and fro seeking the truth, but they will not find it, >> apostle. Amen. Amen. >> They will not find it. Elijah, until his mouth opens, there will be no rain. Rain is the Hebrew word for what? I've taught you before. Rain is the Hebrew word for what? Mora. For what? Teaching. >> Teaching truth. * >> Come on now. Elijah said there he didn't say there'll be no rain. What did he say? There'll be no truth unless you hear it from my mouth. >> Amen. >> Amen. >> Come on now. >> Amen. >> He said, "And the people, what people? Israel would stagger like drunk men. They would go from the Pentecostal church to the Baptist. * They would stagger saying surely somebody can unravel the word. Somebody surely can make it make sense. We want to understand the word of our God. He said, "But as long but until Elijah speaks, they will not find rain." None. Now, notice what this famine is. It's not a famine of bread in the end time church. Not a famine of bread in the end time church. Not at all. * But for hearing not the word. Everybody hears the word. But the word of Yahweh. >> Hallelujah. There will be a famine of a word of truth. No one will know what the word Elohim means. No one will understand the God family. No one will understand the manifested sons of God. No one will understand the throne ruling and reigning. * Not the whole church will stagger because Yahweh sent the strong delusion or the drought. Yahweh has sent that because he is waiting for the moment just before the coming of the Lord when the people will finally get rain. And when they get it, it won't be a large ministry that brings it. Be a little cloud about the size, not very big at all, like a shed with a steeple maybe. Just a cloud. * This ain't nobody hearing me tonight. That's the problem. >> Hallelujah. >> It'll just be you won't even >> Hallelujah. >> It's getting good loud and clear. >> The world the world will not recognize it as the end time reign. As a matter of fact, the one sent to look for it will come back and tell Elijah what? Oh, it it's just the little cloud. * It's really not even nothing to talk about. Oh, brothers and sisters, >> Yahweh was telling us there would come a time in the last days when people would be spiritually starving for three and a half years. Spiritually starving. Now, I'll explain that three and a half years. >> Little is much as much as gain >> in just a moment. * He said they would be spiritually starving, not because there wasn't enough food on the table, but because there wasn't enough of Yah's word being properly taught and understood. The people would stagger. Now, staggering means they're drunk. The people would be drunk on the wine of Babylon, but they did not go to Babylon looking for the devil. * They were looking for truth. But what they found was false doctrine. And what they found was false Christianity. I'm telling you saints, there's a reason Malachi said, "I'll send Elijah just before the coming of the Lord." This whole thing's going to start lining up in your spirit mind before long. The reason I'm going to send Elijah is so Elijah can reveal Elijah and Elijah can show you what the life of Elijah was trying to tell you about the day and hour that you and I live in today. * Now the first question we have to ask is why did the famine happen in the first place? Why would Yahweh allow a famine? Why would he allow people to go hungry for his word? We find that answer in the book of First Kings, chapter 16, verse 29 through verse 33. We're going to turn there and read it together. * Please always read it in your own Bible. >> Amen. >> Highlight it. Low light it. Come back to it. Read it again and again and again. Let's find out why Yahweh allowed a famine in the church. I'm ready. Verse 29 through verse 33. >> Amen. And in the 308 years of Assassa, king of Judah, began Ahab, the son of Omry, to reign over Israel. * And Ahab the son of Omry reigned over Israel and Samaria 20 and two years. And Ahab the son of Omry did evil in the sight of Yahweh above all that were before him. And it come to pass as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the >> Now here's where here's where the story begins. Now the leadership of the church begin to think it was a light thing. * It was just a trivial thing to begin to walk in the path of the pagans. Matter of fact, they they thought we're just doing it for the children. >> Amen. >> It's just it's Come on. It's not major. It's It's just a light thing. It's a light thing. It's It's not major that we're not going to the feast. It's It's just, you know, we just can't make it this year. Just a light thing. * Nothing to it. We'll be there next year. Lord willing. I hate when people say, "Lord willing." That drives me up the wall when somebody says, "We'll be there, Lord willing." Maybe the Lord's willing. He commanded you to be there. Quit playing games. All right, Reed. >> Absolutely. >> Amen. Amen, Apostle. They looked at it. * >> The question is, are you willing? All right. Go ahead. >> Amen. Had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nabot, that he took to wife Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbel, Ethel, king of the >> Sonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him. And he and he reared up an altar for Baal and the house of Baal which he had built in Samaria. * And Ahab made a grove. And Ahab did more to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him. He had completely turned away from Torah. He started fellowshipping with a woman named Jezebel and began learning the way. Now remember, he is the pastor. Does anybody grab this? This man is the pastor of Israel, a feastkeeping, Sabbathkeeping congregation. * He is the leader of Yah's people. And one day he meets an old girl. Her daddy was king over across the way of the Sedonians. And he starts getting to know Jezebel. She's the princess. And when he goes over there, it's just a light thing. When he got there, he found out that they erected a pole to Asteroth Easter. * And when he got over there, he found out their love of the sun Sunday. And he began to think it was just a light thing. This I'm just fellowshipping with Jezebel. I'm not marrying her. I'm just fellowshipping with her until he did marry her and then brought her into the house of Yahweh. If you want to know what it was right after this that Yahweh sends Elijah to send a famine of his word. * Do you know why he sent a famine of his word? Because people took his word lightly. And he will not give his bread to dogs. >> Oh, come on, Apostle. Amen. >> The church didn't take his Torah serious. I know today's the day of atonement, but I got to work today. Go ahead. You're the one that'll be staggering. You'll be staggering till the day you die because you never bought the truth and sold it not. * You considered it a light thing to walk away from the pure word, the commandments of Yahweh. Ahab, that's what he did. That's what brought the removal of truth was the lack of respect for truth. The moment you begin to give an inch in truth is the moment you'll stagger for a mile. The famine came because people began to lose their reverence for truth. * >> Amen. And amen. Thank you, Apostle. >> Hallelujah. >> They had embraced foreign gods. Just a light thing. Oh, we're just adding them, too. We're not forsaking the Sabbath. We're just adding. We're just, you know, we're we we we we this foreign practices. That's all they did. They And it's what's so bad, Elder. * It's not that they were adding these practices. It's that they were taking it lightly that they were adding these practices. They had decided that Yah's ways were old-fashioned, legalistic, irrelevant. You know, I know he said to have a holy mikra, but I'm going to have one at the bingo hall down here in my town. You take it too lightly. * Who is your authority? Do you have one? Oh, it's you. I got it. That's why you will stagger for the rest of your life because you take lightly the words of truth. If you want a famine of truth to come in your life, take it lightly and he'll give you no more. Let me tell you something. Yes. Uhhuh. >> Yes. Uhhuh. * I'm so thankful that I no longer take things lightly and thank you for welcoming us into the rain. >> Go ahead, Sister Leanne. >> I said, I'm so thankful that we no longer take things lightly and thank you for welcoming us into the rain. >> Oh, bless you, Sister Kate. Bless you. You and your husband have become a beautiful part of what we're building. * Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for your love of truth. We can't take it lightly, children. Not if we want our Israelite identity. We don't want to be staggering from hunger. You see the church for the last several decades, I'm going to say since the days of the Catholic overtaking of the church, they've done exactly what Israel did in Ahab's day. * But even more in the last several decades, like maybe the last 35, three and a half years, maybe there has been a moving away from even what they did know. Even though they didn't know everything, at least at one time, they walked in what they knew and they took it serious. And I would say 30 years ago, what would that have been? the 1980s, 1970s, 199 there was still in my that was my day a holy reverence for truth. * At least the truth that we had. We were adamant about truth. We were adamant about it. That's no longer the case. And that's where we are in these three and a half years, if you will, of the end time church and their lack of seriousness about the things of God. We've decided that parts of God's word are outdated. * Let me give you an example. I'm going to Can I give you an example right now? The holy days. We love to say we keep them. You've not kept them unless you kept them the Bible way. Don't take that lightly. Oh, no. It's And what if we decided we were just going to do atonement on the 11th day because we couldn't quite find a place to house everybody on the 10th day. But that's all right. * The Lord knows our heart. Don't work that way. You move mountains to get it done on the 10th day because any other day is not the right way. And he is judging you for rulership in his coming government by how lightly or lack of thereof you take his word. Pastor, >> we Yes. Uhhuh. That's what Jeroboam did. He he took them to Samaria and then he created that his own temple and then he moved the feast days >> and and just like you said in the book the watchers the Nephilim are back now and they are perver per perverting the * church perverting all of all of these things that we're we're dealing with and that's why people want to are in utter rebellion like you said because Yahweh hates rebellion and people are rising up in rebellion to say we can do it our way we don't need to do it Yah's way and we don't listen need to listen to our authority to our spiritual father. * >> Amen. >> It's it's what's going on. You said it in your booklet 30 years ago. The Nephilim are back. That's correct. In these three and a half years, the famine is here. And brothers and sisters, I'll prove it to you. The very voice of truth that many of you fell in love with four years ago now gets on your nerves. * >> Amen. almost >> you almost didn't decide if you want to tune in tonight cuz you knew I was going to make you mad. And yet that's the same voice that used to make you glad. Let me tell you why that is. You started taking things lightly. And when you begin to take it lightly, my voice will become a grading sound to you. * You know why? Truth. Truth is not a respector of person. If you're beginning to find yourself getting annoyed at the same truth that you once loved, run to the altar. Run. Don't pass go. >> Thank you, Father. >> Don't collect $200. Run and say, "My God, what's happening in my mind?" Brothers and sisters, the famine will come to you. * It's on its way when you take lightly what you hear your pastor preach to you. You got to take it to heart. Take it to heart. What I started off with tonight, even if it rubbed you wrong, submit yourself to the word because all I preach is the word. And listen, none of us like it sometime. Can I be honest with you? None of us like it when it comes down on us. * The Bible said when this rock comes on you, it will crush you to powder. And so your next option is this. You can't say that what I'm preaching is wrong. You know better. And you can't say that the ways getting too tight for you. So now you just find something wrong with me. And that way you can be a hypocrite and you don't have to say it's because you can't walk what I'm preaching. * This is what happened to Israel. >> Amen. Apostle >> they started taking it lightly and that brings the famine of the word. Eventually here's what you'll settle for. you'll go right back in another Bible study where everybody's teaching and everybody's just as confused as the next person. Secretly, they're teaching from my books. * But anyway, and and the whole thing becomes utter confusion when Yahweh is raising up a structured ordered work in these hours that you can be a glorious part of. Don't take it lightly. You've been fed with eagle food. And brothers and sisters, we have to be so careful. Not the echoes of Israel. I'm telling you, if there was one series I talked that nobody heard, it was the echoes of Israel. * >> Oh, we heard it. Apostle. >> Amen. >> Amen. >> If you go listen to that series again, it'll it'll bring you back into where you're supposed to be. I challenge everyone, go back and listen to the echoes of Israel. >> It's still >> because Yahweh told me when I taught it, >> I'd be able to refer back to it one day. * The church has rejected God's law, Yahweh's law, his name. And I'm not talking about legalism. I get so sick of that word. You can't rename obedience as legalism. We get so mad at the transgender community. The church was first renaming things. Oh yeah. The church was the first to rename things. Oh yeah. * Passover >> his name >> for Easter. Amen. Uh they were the first to rename obedience to legalism. Just put a new name on it to cover up rebellion. But you can't change a boy to a girl. You can rename it, but you can't change it. And brothers and sisters, rebellion is rebellion no matter how you rebrand it. And this is what caused the famine in the last 35 years or so. * There has been a taking lightly of the things of God. I'm not talking about legalism. I'm talking about understanding that God's law is his instruction manual for righteous living. Yesua said, "Do not think I came to abolish the law or the prophets. I didn't come to way to abolish it, but to fulfill it. * For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, which by the way is never, >> Amen. >> Heaven and earth will never pass away, but until it does, not the smallest yod yode, not the smallest mark, the vowel mark, not the smallest one will pass away from the law. until all is accomplished. But what have we been taught? We've been taught the law's done away with. We're under grace now. * Don't worry about all that Old Testament stuff. Von's bringing y'all back to the law. Von's bringing you back to something called the fearful reverence and obedience of the commands of your God. Call it what you want to call it. Rename it what you want to rename it. But if you'll follow me, we'll get back on that narrow path and we will wind up sons and daughters of Yahweh in the Elohim, ruling and reigning with Christ. * And we'll surely sing it was worth it all. Hallelujah. >> Hallelujah. >> Hallelujah. >> Hallelujah. >> Hallelujah. >> Hallelujah. >> Hallelujah. >> Hallelujah. >> Indeed. How many churches today do you know? I'm talking about structured, organized, set in order ministries that teach the feast days with a full understanding of their prophetic significance. * For example, atonement. How many do you know today teaching you that the atonement was not for Israel? It was for the world. But now Israel has no more sacrifice. We don't have any more atonement. That's not heard anywhere. Yahweh restored that. He restored that to What about the substitutionary priesthood? Nowhere. * What about the angelic redemption? Yahweh is restoring his word to a people that appreciate his word. Do you know? I now understand why when I'm preaching, I preach better at home than I do anywhere else. I say I preach better, what I mean the revelation comes forth. Let me tell you why that is. At headquarters, those people at headquarters, they pull it out of me. * >> Hallelujah. >> Amen. Their hunger, their hunger creates their meal. And they have learned how to pull from me what Yah's deposited in me. You know why that is? Because he feeds those that don't take it lightly. He feeds those that respond to the word. And brothers and sisters, what ministry on earth is teaching you the deeper patterns of the tabernacle, the heavenly temple, the priesthood in heaven? We There's no famine over here, children. * There's no famine at FHMI. There's no more famine. There is something that has broken and the rain has returned in the teaching in the latter teaching of this hour. >> Amen. >> Amen. >> Hallelujah. >> Amen. >> The holy versus the mundane. >> Oh, hallelujah. I receive it, Elder. Father, give it to us. The holy. I just felt that flying man right then. * Oh, the holy versus the mundane. What does that mean? Elijah's coming to teach the difference how we treat these things. I know I get on your nerve. I know you get sick and tired of me reminding you to obey Yahweh. I know that. >> No, we don't. >> I know that. I know that. >> But you know what? I am never going to be guilty of innocent blood. * >> I'm going to tell you the truth. What you do with it, it's up to you. You can't get mad at me because you know I'm teaching you the truth. Paul said, "Have I made you my enemy because I told you the truth." There is one thing lacking in the earth today. It's not praise. It's not worship. It's not glory. It's truth. * Amen. Amen, pastor. >> Amen. >> We have churches full of people that are spiritually malnourished. I've watched this week. I've watched as everyone everyone in America. I watched the most brilliant minds in America get up at Charlie Kirk's memorial. And I don't mean to bismerch any of them. I watched I heard lie after lie after lie after lie and I watched Jensen Franklin was sitting out there. I love Jensen. * Great man. This is not personal. Amening these lies. I saw all the pastors amening these lies. And I literally sit there and said, "Where's the truth? There's no love for it. There's no desire for it except in the remnant that's being awakened in this hour. And I thought as I looked at those men, they're starving in the midst of plenty. * I know a place where Yahweh is revealing truth in this hour. And yet people are starving. And in this own ministry, people that's been fed the heavenly mana are crying for the garlics of Egypt. >> Brothers and sisters, we cannot become those people. Three and a half years. Let's talk about that. Let's go to Luke 4 verse 25. * I've got what? Let's see. I started at seven. I got All right, we got a few minutes left. Let's go to Luke 4:25 and then James 5 and 17. And let's talk about it. >> Read. >> But I tell you of a truth. Many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land. * many widows. What does that mean? Barren churches. See, you can't see widows. You You've got to see uh churches, widows in mourning, that there was no truth, there was no teaching of truth for three and a half years. James chapter 5 verse 17. Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. * The church has survived during a famine for three and a half years but it is not thriving. It has survived. And I'm going to teach you in a minute how the church has survived all these years. But Yahweh doesn't want a surviving church. He want he don't want a staggering church. He wants a thriving people. >> Amen. * >> Amen. >> Thriving. Not surviving. Not just keeping the doors open, but thriving. If we think about this, if we had properly understood all these 2,000 years of a of the church being a widow, what what does a what does a widow have? Memories. That's it. Memories. And the church of the last in the last 30 to 35 years, all the church talks about is what God used to do. That's it. * They have memories. They're like a widow. They talk about the days of Brandom and and AA Allen and the day that's like an old widow said, "Oh, look at these pictures where and that that the widow that the church today is a widow of what once was. That's all they have left." But what if all these generations we had properly understood the feast days and their prophetic significance, we would not have been serving God to go to heaven. * And for 2,000 years, a people would have been preparing to rule and reign and the entire earth would already be filled with the glory of God. We wouldn't have been caught off guard by the first coming of Christ if people understood the feast days all those generations. If the church had maintained a proper understanding of God's law, she would have had instruction for living instead of just being saved. * And if we would have done that, we wouldn't have had the crusades of the Catholic Church. We wouldn't have had the Inquisition. We wouldn't have had all these dark chapters if they had understood timing. But you can't understand timing if you don't understand the feast days. The famine in Israel has been real. * And it's had real consequences. Ignorance on on on levels. And I try not to be like this, but I cannot even listen to anybody preach. I I can't I try. >> I try I I turn on the TV and you know and I only I go listen to my grandpa Marvin Terrell preach and I hear so many errors in his preach and I just listen to him from nostalgia. * I can't listen to nobody. Why? Because it's had real consequences. The lies, the generations of lies has had so many consequences. The whole church is a widow. But I do have some good news for you tonight. In the story of Elijah, it tells us that the famine does come to an end. It does. It comes to an end. >> Hallelujah. * >> I want to talk to you. I want to talk to you about that ending of the famine. We're going to start off in First Kings 17, chapter 17, verse 2 through verse 4. After Elijah stopped the rain, now we're going to begin to follow his life through the five feast of the seven feasts of Israel. We're going to see the truth in a man's life. * Let's go verse 2 through 4. >> Amen. And the word of Yahweh came unto him, saying, Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan, and it shall be that thou shalt drink of the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. Amen. Now, on the surface, this sounds like a cute story of a prophet going to a river, some birds feeding him. * Yeah. Some birds feeding him. He's hiding from the king's wrath. In other words, this is a man that has left the church, >> receive something from the heavenlies. >> Go east. You're leaving the church. and you're going to a brook that has the name, a very important name, the name Cher. Go hide yourself. Get away from church leadership of the false churches. * Go hide yourself by a brook. I'm going to lead you out of Babylon. I'm going to lead you out of Ahab's leadership. The same way And behold, I lead all of the remnant out. You're going to the brook Cherith. Now, what's so interesting about the word Cherith? It's the Hebrew word karat, which means >> cutting. >> To cut. >> Hallelujah. >> Which means to cut. * It means a blood covenant. It's when a covenant is made by blood. It's Passover. >> Amen. >> Circumcision. >> It's Passover. The blood of Passover. Brothers and sisters, Cherith means the covenant. Elijah had to come to the covenant by the cutting of Christ at the cross. The Passover blood. This blood is for you. * He the first step out of Babylon is Passover >> obedience >> returning to the covenant of blood. >> Wow. And while he's here and while he's at the river, he's obeyed Yahweh. And now we have a river, do we not? After the blood is water baptism. >> Oh, >> amen. >> Hallelujah. >> Which is the circumcision of blood. Together, we're returning to the what? The covenant. * We're returning to the brook Cherith, which is the bloody brook of covenant. If you want out of the false church, Elijah, your first stop is Cher. Your first stop is the blood covenant of Yeshua the Messiah, which you experience in Passover. And then the brook, the water of baptism. And it's here that I want you to hide from the church. * It's in the covenant lifestyle, Elijah, that I want you to hide from false pastors, false church leaders. I want you to get back in the covenant that I established before Ahab forgot about it. When God made a covenant with Abraham in Genesis 15, he told Abraham to do what? Cut the animals. * Cherith means the cutting. The covenant. He Why did the Bible say Elijah would turn the hearts of the children back to the father Abraham? Because Elijah himself had to go back to the cutting of the covenant of Abraham. And the ministry of Elijah brings you back to the cutting of covenant. Hallelujah. >> Hallelujah. >> Hallelujah. * >> Hallelujah. Amen. >> Elijah left Ahab to turn his heart back to the father. Abraham. He went and hid in Abraham. The covenant, the cutting, the brook Cherith. Why do you think the word of God expressly tells you the name of the brook? Do you think that should even be in the story? Why not just say go down there by by the brook? No, he tells you the name because he knows somebody at the end of time is going to wake up and discover the meaning of that name and understand you've got to return to the cutting of covenant. * And you do it by the drinking of the Passover cup. And you do it by the circumcision of water baptism. That is the cutting of the covenant for every member of the voice of Elijah that's running from the voice of Jezebel. You will find the voice of Elijah when you run from the voice of Jezebel and Ahab. >> Hallelujah. * >> Hallelujah. >> Glory. This is Passover and water baptism in one picture because without the sacrificial death of Christ, none of the other feasts matter. Everything starts with the blood. Everything starts with the blood. Everything starts at Calvary. Everything starts right at the cutting and the renewing of that covenant sealed by blood. * cutting chariot the brook cherth the brook of cutting the brook of circumcision the brook of blood it's a bloody brook and if you're ever going to leave Babylon you will have to run into Elijah's ministry and when you do he'll bring you to the brook cherith and bring you back to the fathers he'll turn the hearts of those staggering children stuck in Babylon, he'll bring you to the same brook he went to. * Because the truth is, the voice of Elijah is reminding you of the life of Elijah, and you've got to walk that very path. Now, he represents the remnant church, remnant Israel. And there he is at the brook cutting covenant. The brook of the cutting covenant. And suddenly suddenly he must be fed. This church, this remnant Israel, this little people that's returning to the covenant, they need to be fed in the midst of the church famine. Oh hallelujah. * And oh hallelujah. And suddenly because they went back to the covenant, now the father is going to send them messengers. Uh the birds there are the winged creatures from heaven. So therefore, the food of this people once you come back to the covenant, you no longer eat from the famine, but now you begin to eat from the mouth of the messengers. * sent to you from heaven and that food will give you supernatural life in a natural world. >> Oh, hallelujah. >> Hallelujah. >> Hallelujah. >> But he could not be fed unless he stayed at the brook of covenant. He could not leave that brook if he wanted to be fed from heavenly messenger. >> Hold your position. >> Hold your position. * Stay in the covenant lifestyle. Come into that covenant of Abraham. And then if you come into that covenant, you become a feast keeper, a Sabbathke keeper. You become a commandment keeper. You begin to walk in that covenant, that original covenant. That Mosaic covenant just goes forward all the way up through Christ keeping the covenant that Christ himself kept which all starts with Passover. * And while you're there, you'll start to get a little hungry because you're not in the church anymore. You really don't have any programs to go to anymore. All your friends is back under where you came from at Jezebel's house. But for some reason, Yahweh sent you Elijah because you see, all of you are Elijah. * You understand? All of you are following Elijah. And therefore, you've become Elijah. And now you're here. Notice the thing about Elijah that stands out to me the most at the brook chair. He's alone. He's hiding from religion. not hiding from the world. He's not hiding from the Sidonians or the Canaanites. He's hiding from the church. * You know why? He don't want to eat what they're feeding anymore. He gets alone in the covenant and suddenly he's just flipping through a channel and a heavenly bird drops mana in his mouth and he said, "Ah, that gives me life." And brothers and sisters, those are the places that Yahweh wants you to be today. * Notice what Yahweh told him. He said, "Go east." Why would God put that in the story out of all the things that could have been written in the Bible? Why tell Elijah, "Go east to Cherith?" Why go east? Because in the word of Yahweh, if you study the east, it's always a new beginning or a new day. When Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden, they went where? Eastward. * A new beginning, a new day they were entering into. When the Israelites crossed the Jordan to enter the promised land, the Bible said they came from the east. It's a new day. It's a new beginning. It's a new experience. The star that announced the birth of Christ appeared in the east. Anytime you're leaving your old identity, you must go east. * Uh don't go west, young man. Go east because you're entering the brook Cherith. My time is gone. I love you. I'll finish this up tomorrow. Yahweh bless you. Shabbat shalom to the house of Israel. I love you. [Applause] You're bastard.
