Sermon Transcription
In the name of Jesus, for the spirit of wisdom and the spirit of revelation, we ask you for living understanding that would help prepare your bride to stand in faith with clear prophetic anointing to confront the oppressor that is emerging in the earth with confidence of victory under your leadership and we thank you in Jesus name, amen. Well tonight in our end time series we're going to look at Revelation chapter 19 verse 11 to chapter 21 verse 8. Now we're not going to cover all the details and we have a set of notes and for those that are joining us on God TV we have those notes on the internet and you get them right now and the notes provide the key points as well as the Bible verses and we just look at the notes in an abbreviated way but it's important to be able to follow along. Now this is the high point of human history what is described here in Revelation 19 and 20. It's the greatest dream that has ever entered the human heart is recorded by John in these chapters of the book of Revelation. The greatest hope message imaginable and we need to feed our spirit and wash our spirit on this divine information because Jesus said that in that hour and I believe we're approaching that hour my conviction is we're some decades away but it could be sooner from the the full drama breaking out but Jesus said that in that hour that men will faint because of fear they will have no sense of direction they won't know what's going on and they will faint for fear in Luke chapter 21 verse 26 but the word of God is already in place giving us information on the drama that our spirit is not only refreshed and washed from just the the defilement of fear and all the information that the enemy is going to be vomiting out of hell upon the human race not only will we be renewed and washed but we will have a sense of clarity a sense we'll have a compass in the storm we will have a sense of boldness and confidence that will be remarkable to the unbelieving world that is shaken by fear now the reason we need to know Revelation chapter 19 verse 11 to 21 it's a unit in the structure of the book of Revelation it's one unit all the events unfold in this unit in this section one after the other so you need to put them together that we will focus more on the first part and just leave you to the notes on the back end of it just abbreviate a little bit of it it tells us the end of the story now we all know everybody you've heard the preacher say we know the end of the story we know we went and everybody cheers but it's not enough to have just kind of a vague sense of we went God didn't give the information except we need the information it's not enough to say we win everybody clap end of story we got the book of Revelation down to understand these details to get the big picture to see where we're going is essential to understanding the whole prophetic drama laid out in the Word of God now what is surprising to many people there are over 150 chapters chapters not Bible verses chapters in the Bible of which the primary theme is the end times 150 chapters most believers are mostly illiterate of those 150 chapters they know a few points on maybe two or three chapters and one of the reason is that many are just kind of disoriented when they read it and the reason they they don't have a grid for interpreting it all the facts and the events kind of run together and they're not sure where they fit but this passage of Scripture Revelation 19 verse 11 to 21a one it's a unit it's a literary unit in the structure of the book Revelation it gives us the clearest end picture where we're going and I have found in my studies over the year if I understand the end picture those 150 chapters I've just referenced they come into focus if I can see where it's going if you get if you can look at the puzzle box and see what the picture is supposed to look like you can find out where the individual pieces go a whole lot better and so this is just more than something that builds a little faith and invigorates your spirit and helps you repel the spirit of fear this is this is the information that makes the other 150 chapters come into focus and fall into place so you really need to know Revelation 19 20 and 21 and again tonight we'll just abbreviate just look at a little bit of the notes I'll leave you to the notes to look at them yourself and again those that are joining us with God TV it's just at ihop.org you can get the notes and the and the title is called Jesus's triumphal entry into Jerusalem did you know that Jesus is going to march into Jerusalem again but not on a donkey on a white horse and it is his ultimate triumphal entry and once he enters into Jerusalem and is received by the leaders of the Israeli government of the nation they receive him officially as the messiah he never ever leaves Jerusalem again he sets his throne up and he's there forever on the throne of glory again this section of scripture is the high point of human history it's the high point of salvation history Jesus is marching into Jerusalem we don't know exactly where Jesus touches down after the second coming in the rapture he touches down and it's clear we'll look at in a minute he marches through very clearly the land of Jordan the nation of Jordan right next to Israel and he marches through in the context of a military battle the second coming is in context to a military conflict second to none ever in history it's the largest military campaign and battle ever seen in history probably times a hundred I mean I don't know it is the law it's millions and millions of military personnel engaged and deployed in this battle that's the context of the second coming Jesus marches in to Jerusalem on a white horse he's slaying the enemies literally killing them presenting himself as the bridegroom king and judge he confronts the antichrist totally defeats him now about the antichrist the antichrist is a real person we know that there is the spirit of the antichrist has been operating for two thousand years but this the antichrist is more than a spirit he's a person he's a man my guess he's alive on the earth right now maybe young maybe older I don't know he will be the most powerful man and leader that the world has ever seen he'll be the most demonized man with intellectual ability and supernatural power he will be Adolf Hitler times a hundred in his cruelty far more powerful and far more cruel and far more intelligent than Adolf Hitler he is the ultimate oppressor that emerges in human history and God is raising up a justice movement to confront the ultimate oppressor that is the stages being set for him to come on the world scene now that justice movement is called the prayer movement the prayer movement is the justice movement and the justice movement must be the prayer movement according to Jesus so Jesus is going to confront this great oppressor completely over uh throw overpower him and defeat him and throw him into the lake of fire then he's going to take all the world governments and he's going to replace them with his favorite people it's true it's true at the seventh trumpet the loud voices in heaven announced all the governments are going to be overthrown it's at this triumphal entry the process begins the overthrow of all the governments the announcement is made in the heavens and all the people know what is at stake but when Jesus enters into Jerusalem he kills all the leaders of the nations that have aligned with the antichrist all of them if this is it's beyond exaggeration the united nations of that day get this clear all the kings of the earth will be in one city it's never happened before ever where all the kings of the earth were in one city never they will be in one city and Jesus will execute all of them in one setting it's the sort of thing that elijah did with the prophets of bell they all gathered in one place at mount carmel and he killed them all now imagine if the united nations leaders heard that and we need to be committed to the fact that they hear that because king david said in psalm 2 you need to warn the kings as to what's coming down and in psalm 2 he said warn the kings and psalm 2 is all about the armageddon campaign in context he's talking about revelation 19 they need to know if they line themselves up with the antichrist they will be executed publicly together by a jewish king who's coming after them now to them that would just seem crazy religious fantasy doesn't matter if they receive it we are called to warn the kings of the earth in that hour and the psalm 2 hour of which the kings are told to be warned is this context of scripture revelation chapter 19 verse 11 and following now jesus is going to put all of his his favorite people are going to be put in power that sounds kind of uh funny but it's actually true it's his bride it's the one that he loves so dearly and together for a thousand years they're going to raise up a world government that is so profoundly established in justice and humility and wisdom and love that the environment of the earth will be set up and prepared for the father to come down to the earth at the end of it that's where it's going the father's throne dwells among men god tabernacles with men and that means on the earth when it says god will tabernacle with men he will dwell with them he's not talking about in heaven he already does that to tabernacle with human beings means in the natural realm on the earth now the new jerusalem comes down the supernatural dimension is there in a very dramatic way but the natural realm continues for god to tabernacle with men by definition it means the natural realm is the context that's why the announcement's so startling it's not startling that god's with his people in heaven it said he's going to tabernacle with them on the natural in the natural that's revelation 21 three we'll get there in a few minutes but probably just ever so briefly at the end i'll mention it that's the high point of history that's what the millennial kingdom is about preparing the nations jesus and his bride in order to call the father to the earth in his throne forever as we're calling jesus the spirit of the bride come lord jesus come lord jesus we are gonna together confront the most oppressive man and regime in history the antichrist completely overthrow it put in a new government and now jesus is gonna say now we're not gonna pray come lord jesus we're gonna say come father and we're gonna do it together and we're gonna do it as a husband and a wife and government over the earth the ultimate love story it's beyond exaggeration in its drama and in its power and how deep it will touch us paragraph c in the notes jesus is going to bring justice to the earth now there's a little bit of talk in the last few years about justice this is really prophetic it's very important because in isaiah 42 isaiah 42 now just say to yourself isaiah 42 i can get it it's one of the number one second coming chapters in the bible isaiah 42 that's one of those chapters you can't skip isaiah 42 is profoundly about the second coming and all the events related to it it's not only about it but it's mostly about it and in isaiah 42 it kind of throws us off at first until we get oriented with the prophetic scriptures it's the emphasis is justice justice justice justice so we go okay it's justice wow okay why is it emphasized over and over and the reason maybe that throws people off because it seems maybe even a little bit cold like a little legal and technical i mean we want massive worship meetings the power of god and healings and the glory of revelation and angels justice i mean we love justice but it seems like to be the main theme of one of the main chapters in the bible on the second coming justice now we look across the nations and we see injustice we see injustice among the poor we see uh genocide in some nations we see injustice but let me tell you this the level of injustice we see on the earth now is going the injustice we see is going to go to a tenfold and a hundredfold beyond what it is now and we will see the need for justice in a way we cannot comprehend even today as much as we agree that justice is needed we can't imagine how uh how significant and primary this is to our lives because we've never seen an oppressor like this and you don't need justice until an oppressor is in power now some nations are really in in dire need of injustice but even then the man that's coming is a hundred times more powerful than adolf hitler ever was and the crisis of oppression is going to explode in the earth now interesting the praying church will be a justice movement and the harlot church will be a justice movement they will both say justice they will both feed the poor and they will operate in an entirely different spirit with a tire entirely different goal now a lot that are championing the justice movement today disconnected to loyalty and allegiance to jesus they don't have some sinister goal but when the oppressor is in power he will determine where the goals of that justice movement are going right now it seems a little bit innocent seems like just a lot of good things going on but there is a grand oppressor that's going to come to the human race and when i talk to people about the judgment of god you don't celebrate judgment until an oppressor is in power and so until somebody is murdering your family judgment's not that big of a subject when somebody's murdering your family and raping your family and torturing your family now justice and judgment become a whole nother subject and i don't just mean the antichrist to christians he is going to have this brutal cruel beast-like spirit on his government towards his own people i mean adolf hitler was cruel to his own people as was stolen as were many dictators in history they're not just cruel to the enemy they're cruel to their own people the injustice will be great amongst the ranks of the wicked injustice has no boundaries didn't just go for the good guys injustice goes for the bad guys has no boundaries at all and i'm setting this up this whole scene because without this knowledge this stuff is just kind of academic kind of interesting a little bit maybe even repulsive and what i mean is when you see jesus in the way that he has zeal to kill a lot of people don't have a jesus who kills that's because they have no vision of the oppressor that's about to emerge jesus has zeal to kill those that are entrenched in evil to oppress the people and it's a little bit of uh it sets us off we look at it go well i don't know about that that's not the jesus that i love and no that's not the jesus of the new testament beloved that's the jesus of the new testament that's the jesus of the gospels and the jesus of the book of revelation and the jesus of the old testament if you read the bible openly and honestly and don't cut and paste at all you just read the bible for what it says and it puts us off a little bit because we don't have a vision of the oppressor we don't know the measure of the oppression therefore we don't celebrate in the judgment matter of fact there is a fog over many people i'll call it a fog of sentimentality there's a fog of sentimentality over many in the body of christ wherein they're naive proud it is proud it's not meant to be proud but it is proud naive proud sentimentality they imagine their compassion is superior to jesus because his judgments are a little off and jesus would say i know things you don't know about the condition of the human race in that hour so we need to get the fog of sentimentality out of the way we need to begin even in these early days and we may be some decades away from this thing unfolding we need to begin to understand what jesus says about jesus and begin to realign our thinking and our emotions to where we're not repulsed by the jesus of the bible the whole bible not just part of the bible and that we begin to throw away this fog of naive proud sentimentality that imagines our compassion is superior to jesus's judgments that we get it but he doesn't and i find as i understand these kind of passages that a premier one right here revelation 19 that fog begins to lift and i begin to line myself up the word of god paragraph c jesus is going to bring the greatest justice or vengeance you can use whichever word you want some translations say justice some say vengeance it's the same concept he's going to bring the greatest justice movement release it across the earth in context to the greatest oppressor that history has ever seen and the greatest manifestation of this oppression will be in the city of jerusalem the city of jerusalem is the eye of the storm the eschatological or the end time storm is at the city of jerusalem paragraph d jesus is only going to confront now catch this he's only going to confront the oppressor and his entire worldwide system to the degree that we agree with him on the earth in night and day prayer he is only going to confront and remove the oppressor to the agree to the degree there's agreement on the earth in prayer with his people now that point right now is not on the agenda of the body of christ that's okay because we got a little bit of time that's why we have to know this passage because i find this ultimate passage revelation 19 to 21 when we understand this the fog begins to lift on these other 150 chapters about the end times and the storyline begins to get really clear but if you can't see the the picture on the box of the puzzle it's hard to find out where all the pieces fit but when you see that picture the pieces fit in far easier now jesus is operating with three different prayer movements if you will that are working together under his leadership number one there's the prayer movement across the earth of the body of christ number two there's the martyrs in heaven i'm sure the others are praying too but the martyrs are the one highlighted in the book of revelations they're crying for vengeance and we're crying for vengeance and number three which is a significant amount of of uh scripture on this which it doesn't really touch us now but it's very dramatic to study them it's the unsaved remnant of israel what i mean by unsafe today they're not saved they won't be saved at the time of the rapture but in in the wake of all the events they'll begin to cry out for their messiah and those prayers are actually recorded in the old testament there's about 10 of them they are so dramatic and dynamic so these they're unsaved they're god fearing or going to be god fearing or half and half right now who knows quite where they are today but they are they're not saved they're not born again at this time if they would they would be caught up to meet the lord in the air at the rapture but their prayers there's about 10 of them i haven't exactly counted them in the bible and i got a bunch of them listed there right there on the notes they are so dramatic and if you go read those prayers you go like wow that is intense and then jesus caught his second coming and his entry into jerusalem is actually in answer to those prayers the prayers of the martyrs around the throne saying how long vengeance how long and the lord says i'm gonna answer you and the prayers that are filling the bowl around the throne the bowl will be full of the prayers of the saints in the generation the lord returns and that's what we're about right now luke 18 jesus this is his teaching now luke 18 is about the end times luke 18 its context is luke 17 read it in context this is an eschatological or an end time passage jesus said shall not god avenge give you justice confront the oppressor break through with power when you cry night and day the night and day prayer movement is linked to the cry against the oppressor who is a man and he has millions of faithful workers under him if not a billion or two i don't know the number many many workers faithful loyal workers and they have the spirit of oppression again they'll be oppressing themselves as well oppression has no boundaries it's not just through oppressing the church they're oppressing human beings jesus said shall not god avenge again this is an end time passage read it in this context luke 17 and 18 when they cry out night and day however jesus said i got a question about my second coming in the hour of my appearing when i come will i really find faith on the earth meaning will i have agreement with my people in prayer will they be doing night and day prayer according to my plan not just will they pray will they pray my prayers my agenda will they really agree with me it's not enough to do night and day prayer though that's a great start we want to do night and day prayer according to his agenda as spelled out in the word of god and his end time agenda particularly in the book of revelation which i call the end time prayer manual it's a canonized prayer manual the book of revelation is our prayer manual for the whole body of christ so jesus said when i come when i appear in the sky when i look down will there be people in agreement of course the answer is yes or he won't appear in the sky but that's the challenge of the hour is this issue of agreeing with him will there be agreement will there be faith revelation 6 10 the martyrs are crying out for justice the saints on the earth are crying out for justice look at the third group zachariah 12 right here on the notes and again those that are just joining us with god tv you can get these notes on the website just ihop.org it's called jesus's triumphal entry into jerusalem look what it says in zachariah 12 that the god is going to pour out the holy spirit on jerusalem this is on unsaved jews in jerusalem and it will be the spirit of prayer will come on them that's the spirit of supplication now there's many points to zachariah 12 but i'm only focusing right now on they will be crying out under the anointing of the spirit and they will connect and be converted profoundly in the whole series of events that unfolds now look at one of the main prayers of the nation of israel now i pray this all the time for the church but in context it is the it is the remnant of israel praying this in the armageddon campaign the reason i call it the campaign for those that are just new with us people talk a lot about the battle of armageddon that's not really a technically biblical concept armageddon is a three and a half year campaign it's the area in the north of israel that's the military staging area of which there's many battles and the real battle that everybody calls the battle of armageddon it's really the battle of jerusalem it's clear there's many passages the final battle is the battle of jerusalem that's the final battle of the armageddon campaign and so you know people call it the armageddon the reason you don't want to call it the battle of armageddon because that brings your mind up to the north you're fighting up because armageddon's in the north of israel and all the prophetic scriptures give great detail about the battle around the city of jerusalem so it's just as good to get it right because it makes the bible make sense when you're reading it but anyway in the in the armageddon campaign look at one of the great verses here's what the remnant of israel this is after the rapture the rapture happens just some weeks before this the rapture comes we get translated we get our new bodies and then jesus touches down i have an opinion of where he touches down but it doesn't say in the bible so i won't go heavy on it but he marches up the bible says this through the land killing the armies of the antichrist marching into jerusalem and then he touches the mount of olives it splits he delivers the nation of israel and on and on and on as we have in the notes here but this is the prayer they're praying oh that you would win the heaven they're talking about the messiah that you would come down they're talking about the second coming we pray that prayer and we talk about revival and i'm going to keep praying this prayer i've prayed it for years and i'm going to keep praying it but i do understand it is a remnant of israel's second coming prayer at the armageddon campaign that's its real context the lord says you couldn't borrow it you've been taking their other stuff that's okay and they pray oh that the mountains will shake that's the mount of olives is going to split and all the mountains of the earth are going to shake on the seventh bowl you'll make your name known to your adversaries that's the antichrist empire right there around jerusalem and they will tremble and the reason they're really going to tremble is because jesus was we'll find out in psalm 110 he is going to execute all the leaders of all the nations they will tremble for real paragraph e there's seven strategic scenes in this passage and again you get the big picture then the 150 chapters and of course many people say where are those 150 chapters check our website actually we're putting them up we're laying it out with as much clarity as we can all 150 chapters in their context and what they mean they'll be up in a few days we need to know those 150 chapters that are about jesus's leadership on the earth those 150 chapters are not just about events they're about a man that we love his name is jesus it's about his leadership to drive the oppressor off the planet and to establish justice and meekness on the earth well the outline in paragraph e on the notes seven strategic scenes first scene one jesus we're gonna look at in a second he's approaching the city of jerusalem he's killing the enemy armies marching up to jerusalem and the word is got out to the remnant of israel there's a guy they say he's jewish he does the miracles of moses and he's marching up that's the seven bowls they're the same as the ten plagues of egypt and he's coming towards jerusalem and he's really against the guy in power and he really likes us and they're going no way no way where did he come oh my goodness it's real the good news he's coming the surprising news his name is jesus of nazareth no way we'll take him if he comes in power we'll take him and that's what happens in the nation of israel so the first scene he's marching up he's on the white horse and he's coming towards the city of jerusalem scene number two he defeats the antichrist at the battle of jerusalem which is traditionally called the battle of armageddon scene number three he doesn't just defeat the antichrist he throws satan into prison scene number four he gives all the government of the nations to his people he take he announced it at the seventh trumpet i'm taking over here it happens in scene four which is revelation 20 verse 4 to 6 and again those that are just joining us on tv you get the notes on the website scene number five he lets satan out of prison for a surprising but very important reason he lets satan come back out of prison because he wants to give everybody the choice because the millennial earth has been going a thousand years it's the same thing the serpent comes back in the garden like he did in the days of old before adam and he's telling all the nations you need now to choose because the serpent's in the garden again do you want me or do you not want me and many actually choose the serpent like adam did and many of course don't and what the lord does in that which i have in the notes he reveals the depravity of man and the excuse that men have at the judgment day that if my circumstances were better i would respond to different there's going to be a whole host of people that will be in the millennial environment of the garden of eden their entire life and when satan's let out they say no to jesus and he's going to say my judgments were just and they were true i did not miss it in any regard and that's a bigger subject again i got a bit on the notes on that but the satan getting out of prison the snake being released in the garden is critical because jesus does not want robots he wants voluntary lovers he wants people who choose because the most critical thing's going to happen in a minute the father's throne is about to come down to the earth and he doesn't want a generation of people who don't want the father's leadership jesus is going to test him and his wise leadership let him out of prison and people go let him out of prison what jesus wait do you know what he did for 6 000 years let him out of prison i'm preparing the nations for my father i want nobody on the earth who does not love my father let their hearts come now to the surface it will be a stunning statement of god's just and righteous judgments well there's a whole lot it's a very fascinating but more than that significant part of the story then the great white throne all the enemies of god are discarded forever and the and the absolutely horrifying thing is that these that choose satan they've grown up in the millennial earth they've had this bible teaching their whole life they're probably five or six hundred years old because the lifespan longevity goes back like it was before the days of noah and they live lengthy times and they've seen a multitude of documentaries the media will be just what we can't even fathom what will be on the millennial earth with people with natural bodies and they will have seen so many documentaries and whatever they look like then way more sophisticated now of the antichrist like we watch them about adolf hitler and they will still choose the snake in the garden over jesus and jesus will say so i do know about the heart of man and i do know about righteous judgment and he will be praised in the wake of all of that and then the final thing that happens is the father's throne the ultimate reality is that the nations are prepared and the father's throne comes to the earth and then we live forever the earth is rinsed with fire it's cleansed with fire and there's a a preparation of fire but it's still this earth it's a new earth it's renovated the argument is is the earth going to be renovated or annihilated and i believe strongly it's this earth renovated and cleansed with fire not annihilated it's not a new earth in the sense of brand new it's new as in renewed we will literally be on this earth forever with physical material resurrected bodies on the earth serving and teaching ministering and friendship and working and all the things that we love to do but in the of the anointing of the holy spirit of the resurrection but the natural physical realm existing as well and it's fantastic what a storyline nobody could have thought of this you know you take walt disney steven spielberg plus 10 more times 100 nobody could have come up with this story paragraph f the summary the most dramatic events in world history are going to occur in the in this several decades ahead and the prayer movement is the point of the arrow from god's point of view determining the measure of good and the measure of evil in different geographic areas of the earth beloved we can determine not entirely but we have an impact on the measure of glory and the measure of oppression that hits our geographic area we have a dimension of involvement of determining that measure or it says i'm putting it in the hands of the prayer movement under my sovereign leadership it really matters that we get this the most dramatic events in world history are going to occur it's going to be the in context of the greatest military campaign never has there been a battle or a campaign like the armageddon campaign and the battle of jerusalem will surpass every battle of the armageddon campaign it will be undergirded by the greatest prayer movement that's contending against the greatest oppression releasing the greatest manifestation of justice ever in history but the justice that's on jesus's terms okay we laid the groundwork and really you could read the story if you get your framework right and grasp it much more than you could if you don't have these simple little framework points in place okay let's read jesus is approaching now this is the first section he's approaching the city of jerusalem on the white horse john said i saw the heavens open now john sing the heavens open is telling us the mode in which john receives the vision it's not telling us the location for from which jesus is riding the horse at this part of the narrative some people read that and they go this part this part of the journey of the storyline of the narrative they say the horse is coming from heaven no the vision came from heaven the horse is coming up through the land and he's got blood all over him jesus does because of the battle it's very clear we'll see in a minute a white horse john sees jesus now he's called faithful and true i love this because the antichrist all of the antichrist's promises have been false and all of his policies are deceptive the antichrist gives a presentation it's always false and then what he promises he doesn't do there's a new man leading all the governments and every single policy means what it says and says what it means with no nuances no no uh small print it's exactly straightforward and true it's like the earth will go like this is remarkable every government will have a spirit of truth in all of its presentations because this is a governmental statement this isn't just a character statement of course it is a character statement this is a political statement of the new leader and all of his promises are faithful and all of his policies and his presentations are true and all the representatives of him operate in the same spirit wow what a change from the antichrist on a global level and he's going to in righteousness make war he's going to involve himself in a just war it's the greatest most i mean the most dramatic war of the greatest bloodshed in history it's a righteous war it's not a war of aggression it's a war against oppression it's a righteous war it's a just war and a just war is a biblical war and he's making it a lot of folks don't have stomach for the jesus who is the commander of the lord's army but we do because it's in the bible his eyes are like a frame of flame of fire they're powerful when we see this man i'm talking about with a physical material resurrected body fully supernatural but fully physical too his eyes are so powerful they're mesmerizing they're terrifying they draw us near him but they scare us but they draw us but they wow us but we want to but we're not sure eyes of fire we've never seen eyes in a commander like this these are this is not figurative it's real his eyes have a dimension of the fire dimension and i believe just because of the appearances of the lord in the bible he can release that glory or or restrain that glory at his own will but boy when he showed john the eyes of air he unveiled it in john i mean revelation one john felt like a dead man i mean he knew jesus the best if anybody felt like a dead man he goes i can't take the eyes of the face face like the son i i'm not used to this veil it next time if you will because my spirit can't handle it maybe john didn't say that but he felt like a dead man so it seems like he did verse 13 he was clothed with the robe dipped in blood very important you study the word dip it's not just a little corner his blood his robe has blood physical material real blood of his real enemies and what jesus is saying in the blood he's telling the people it's from isaiah 63 it's right there on the notes most of you know that passage when we've gone through it he's marching up through edom which is modern day jordan and he's killing his enemies and the blood is on him and he's making several points by the blood on him it's the blood of his enemies it's not the blood of the cross he's coming as a captain to defeat an oppressor this isn't about him paying the price for sin this is about him exacting the price of rebellion against his mercy stopping the oppressor he's making two points with the blood point number one he's telling all of us i'm involved in the battle i'm not remote waving my hand i'm in there like a greater david i'm in the thick of the battle in a personal up front close way i'm a savior i'm a leader my hands are dirty in the work the blood is literally on him not figuratively figuratively and number two he wears the the blood even as a statement a prophetic statement he says i'm not ashamed that i waged to justice a just war and you don't need to be ashamed either if you're on my team again many in the body of christ there they have the fog of sentiment and they imagine that their compassion is superior to jesus's zeal and love and wisdom and he says i'm not wiping the blood off right now i am not ashamed of what i have done for the sake of the oppressed i've done it for love's sake and he comes marching in the land paragraph c the jesus of christmas brings peace and goodwill that we like that jesus every what's not to like i mean the jesus of christmas i'm talking about the luke 2 g's i'm talking about the commercial uh spirit of christmas i'm talking about the goodwill agenda i love how many of you love the jesus of christmas peace and goodwill like oh i love the goodwill agenda of jesus but the jesus of christmas he brings peace by openly warring against the oppressor as the jesus of armageddon and the jesus of christmas and the jesus of armageddon there is no contradiction between them at all it's all about love paragraph d let's go another minute or two and then we'll have some questions i'm going to leave you with the rest of it to look at your the notes because i feel like i've jump-started you a little bit i pushed you in the right direction and i believe a bunch of you are saying i think i better read these passages and get familiar with them if they really will clarify the other 150 chapters and they really will you get this one right the other ones come into perspective the robe dipped in blood there's what i'm calling an eschatological the fancy word for end times an eschatological wine press i want you to get this because right through here in isaiah 63 it's what we're looking at one of the famous in time second coming past is isaiah 63 isaiah 42 isaiah 63 isaiah 42 you have to have to have to get it isaiah 63 isaiah 42 if you're going to be prepared in the end times with what jesus is doing those are must chapters what it says many places and i've got them in the notes that jesus is calling the nations but the devil the strange part is the devil is calling them to jerusalem as well for one reason jesus is calling them to jerusalem for a different reason and men are eagerly going for a third reason three different calls with three different motives and it's all converging in jerusalem and jerusalem is the wine press it's the only time in history when every single world leader showed up to one event it's never happened and if jesus is wine press he's calling them all close and they get into one context now they're coming energized by the devil to come and they're coming energized by their own lust for money and promotion they see it as an opportunity they go you know i appreciate the antichrist but you know sometimes he's got a bad spirit and i don't totally trust him they're going most of them for their own personal reasons like many men go to war for those reasons they have their own agenda but jesus is luring them for the first time in history every single world leader that is aligned with the antichrist and every military leader with him every king and every every all the military the top brass of every single army is in one geographic area for the first time in history and jesus i'm saying this figuratively locks the door so to speak he says i have a surprise for you this is my feast this is my wine pressed and i am going to stomp and trample the wine press until all of you are killed and i'm replacing the entire global government with new people it's called the wine press of god the wine press of god the the five or ten verses of it in the in the prophetic scriptures it's not a general theme it's a literal geographic location and i'll get ahead of myself here because i'm out of time oh right there in paragraph f look at it i got it the wine press is a revelation 14 verse 20 tells us that the blood coming out of this wine pressed out the the grape juice analogy is the blood of these men jesus is the one stomping on the blood because they're oppressors and he wants to bring love and righteousness to the earth and this blood is going to flow for a 200 mile area that's the wine press the entire from armageddon valley i mean the area of armageddon in the north to edom or basra in the south where jesus comes through in isaiah 63 it's about nearly a 200 mile area that is the wine press he's treading and it's going to not only make world news it's going to shift history entirely to the age to come with a brand new government the next day worldwide nothing like it isaiah 66 i don't have it on here verse 8 isaiah 66 verse 8 isaiah said can the earth be born in one day not just a nation not just the nation of israel can the entire government of the earth be born in a day yes through the wine press strategy of jesus he's got to get them all together in one room it just happens to be a 200 mile area it's not really a and he's going to stomp on the grapes and replace all the governments in one swoop in one motion one more verse since we're here we'll end with this isaiah our psalm 45 paragraph e we'll go up psalm 45 the the famous psalm 45 the psalm of love it says in chapter of psalm 45 verse you are fairer than the sons of men you are more beautiful this is about armageddon psalm 45 is about armageddon about revelation 19 you are more beautiful grace is on your lips and we read that you know i read commentators and i go his teaching back in the 2000 years ago was so good surely that means that but grace on his lips there's 10 or 15 verses that by the breath of his mouth and the word of the mouth the destruction of the enemy by the very spoken word that's the anointing on his lips to destroy the oppression there's 10 or 15 verses on it it's powerful stuff yes we can link it back to his teaching back 2000 years ago and it means that for sure but in its context it's talking about an anointing to speak and to completely change the governmental structure of the planet isaiah 66 verse 8 in one day you are fairer than the sons of men there's an anointing on your words when you speak there is an action and a reaction verse 3 gird your sword on your thigh because he's marching up through jordan to the city of jerusalem almighty one with glory in your majesty ride on he's on his white horse because of truth righteousness and meekness that's what the great tribulation is all about establishing truth and righteousness meekness and let your arrow strike the heart of the nations and get them all the way and then he sets up his kingdom in the rest of isaiah psalm 45 it's about the armageddon campaign well i'll say one more thing when he finally i guess i gotta end with this i don't know where it's at in the notes but the one final thing i can't leave without when he finally gets there to jerusalem and the blood is flowing everywhere the remnant of israel they say blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord they look at jesus and say to him what he prophesied they would say to him way back when they said i won't come till you call me of god and blessed you have to say i'm from god they'll say jesus of nazareth is from god and he is our leader and then in psalm 24 they open wide the gates and receive him in a procession in the city amen and amen we're only just starting this but at least i got you a good jump start you can read the rest on your own let's end with that we're gonna have some questions for about 10 minutes and we'll go on a few minutes beyond the 10 minutes go ahead what would you say to people who can't find god's mercy and jesus treading the wine press if if somebody very good question what would you tell somebody if they can't see god's mercy and jesus treading the wine press it's because they haven't seen the oppressor the key to rejoicing in the judgment isn't looking as things are today on a world level there's some mean guys out there for sure but there's i mean things are a little rough out there but it's nothing like it's going to be the emergence of the oppressor not just the antichrist but an oppressing system far worse than nazi germany then we are law we're not at we're not we're not saying thank that's okay jesus we're begging him or or by the prayer faith is a better way lord release justice release justice release justice it becomes the central cry coming out of the lovesick church go ahead can you give more thoughts on uh why the devil is released and who he deceives why is the devil released I have a little bit in the notes but what he is wanting to prove after the devil's been incarcerated for a thousand years he comes back and what's the first thing the devil do does what would you think the devil should do if you've been in prison for a thousand years you should be reformed he's completely unrehabilitated completely and jesus is telling the nations there is no rehabilitation in that penitentiary but here's why it's the makeup of the human spirit as well as an angelic spirit which is a demon because when they're there they get angrier and angrier see we would think through our paradigm they would go into prison and after a few years they'd go you know what i need to have a different frame of mind they are more angry a hundred years a thousand years and a million years later the human spirit is they get angrier and so therefore when the devil comes out the lord saying nobody is rehabilitated from that penitentiary system it can't happen because the environment of all of them together doing what they want makes them angrier they're not down there listening to nice worship tapes you know a little starbucks coffee kind of waiting their time to get out to kind of a different attitude no they're with each other and they're angry beyond measure and jesus is telling all the nations in the judgment seat when at the great white throne when they say how dare you judge me if my circumstance would have been different i would live different and he's going look multitudes had their entire life in the garden of eden and they still chose the snake i'm talking about the millennial kingdom for a thousand years someone will be there three four five six hundred years never ever saw any pressure ever and the first moment of temptation they will choose evil and jesus will say men love darkness more than light and that's why they're under judgment not because if the environment was different they all would have chose right he's going to prove his judgments are just and true who are those people that are deceived bunch of them a whole bunch of guys born in about 500 years so we don't know any of them now it's it's it's people that looks like born in the millennium you know right in the middle of it i mean they're because in the millennial kingdom they it's like the days of noah the age longevity goes the other way they live hundreds of years so these guys will be four five six seven hundred years old they will have seen it all they lived under jesus leadership and they're going to do what adam did they're going to choose the snake okay okay it talks about this in revelation 19 but is jesus actually going to kill people with a literal sword or is that symbolizing the word of his mouth the is jesus boy great questions is jesus going to kill people with a literal sword or is he going to kill him with the word of his mouth i think both because there's passages where he has the sword in his hand we read it gird the sword in your hand and the sword in his mouth means he's got an entire army he gives the command so the sword of his mouth doesn't mean he goes go and a sword comes out it's the command of his mouth as the head military leader that looses the sword of his army against the enemy that's the sword of his mouth it's also called the rod of his mouth it's also called the breath of his mouth he blows and when he blows the power of god hits him and his own army is energized but sometimes it's his own sword it's real he's really close up close combat he's not at a distance waving his hand he wants his people to know his hands are dirty in the transition of driving oppression off the earth he's involved deep is the point and we're his army right yes the resurrected saints are his army and the redeemed of israel that are getting converted by the day they're going hey we're in because when jesus comes he marches up in jerusalem it's not like he waves his hand and a several billion people that are still on the earth they don't all just fall over and evaporate those billion people a lot of them have the mark of the beast they hate god they have to be rounded up they have to be brought to justice i mean it's going to take a lengthy period of time i have no idea what if it's months or years but it's not a day or two to get a couple billion people rounded up and tried with justice and the angels are involved in it because matthew 13 says the angels are helping in the process but it's going to take time for all this to happen it's not because the part that people don't grasp when jesus comes they kind of imagine the natural realm is going to just disappear and evaporate and everything's supernatural no it's the real physical realm with the supernatural anointing and abilities that we have and it's really dramatic real life stuff like we think of it so yeah you'll be there but some so will the people that are not saved because at the time of jesus at the rapture those that are saved go up those that have the mark of the beast are going to eventually be killed and the other group they didn't go up and they haven't worshipped the beast they're the ones that get converted and they make up the uh the natural army we're part of the army and but there's an interaction because remember the veil between the two realms has been lifted and we're interacting in a very dynamic way it's awesome it is awesome i'm into this stuff jesus in the bible i'm into it i want to do it his way i don't want to be like smarter than jesus and dismiss most of what he's saying here so when satan is released from prison in revelation 20 verse 7 does he actually believe he has the power to take over the world great man these are great questions does satan believe he could do it i think he is so whatever the word is non-rehabilitated pride he has so much pride i think i mean a pride we can't comprehend i think in his spirit he says the answer is no i'm not yielding and i think i can do it i yeah i think his pride is so out of beyond anything we can imagine i think there's an element where he thinks so i don't know that but i think so pride is irrational beyond anything we can imagine go ahead revelation 1914 talks about armies in heaven coming out with jesus on white horses to the earth um could that army or the armies be what joel talked about uh what part of joel um like the joel 2 and joel 3 army no no no because in joel chapter 2 the army joel's talking about joel chapter 2 is actually a negative army the babylonians that were raised up to judge israel so the army that was being raised up was under babylon they were bad guys trying to wake israel up this army in revelation 19 verse 14 are the saints and so we're the good guys so i wouldn't put it in the joel category i would go in a different direction just that we're the saints but it's not the joel army would there be any angels in that army probably there are angels in the army why not we're all in it together they're the hebrews 114 says the angels serve the saints but there's never in the bible are the angels ever on horses and all these guys are on horses and they all have the righteous linen that shows up earlier in the chapter in chapter 19 verse 8 they have the same linen i mean maybe some angels are involved maybe a lot of angels who knows but i believe it's jesus's bride it's his favorite saying i want you in the battle with me because this is personal to me that we're in it together you like that yes i do uh in revelation 29 uh when the satan gets released and gathers his army against the holy city uh does a battle actually take place or is it instantaneous and uh revelation 20 verse 9 it says that they come from the ends of the earth to jerusalem they're gonna all gather against jerusalem again you think like guys don't you remember history because remember it's a thousand years later they've seen the history they're raised in they got children's church teaching them this stuff i mean you know like like like we would study ancient history christian history we'd study world war ii they will study the great tribulation for hundreds of years in their schools they're still gonna go against jerusalem there is no battle what happens is they gather and there is no more war after the second coming after the second coming events he just sends fire from heaven the father does and takes care of him and then nobody even lifts their finger he was jesus was only letting his his message was i only want people in this with the father coming down if they're in it all the way and the father wants his righteous judgments justified on the world level historical scale good what exactly are the saints ruling as they reign with christ for a thousand years okay what exactly are the saints ruling everything meaning it's it's so exactly what you would think if you thought it through meaning we think rule saints but we think government think of there are i heard somebody said 300 million people in america there's something like brennan is this right three million in the government three million government employees either the research for me three million we're talking about the librarian the guy over the waterworks the electricity the guy fixed the roads those are all in forms of government the saints will be in now the people with natural bodies that will be getting married and having babies they're the unsaved people that got saved after the second coming because you get saved on the second coming you can't get saved after you die but they haven't died yet they just saw him in the clouds and they said hey i've been on the wrong team but at least i didn't join the bad team at least i'm still got a chance they get saved they have their families they're the ones doing the the real intricate infrastructure we are over them over all of those areas like right now there's angels over all the different spheres of life we just don't see them but after the second coming the veil gets lifted if the veil was lifted right now there's angels everywhere with assignments involved with us that's what i mean it's we'll be profusely involved in all the infrastructure we'll be teaching people training them sitting down talking to them then we'll meet with jesus in the staff meetings in jerusalem this is actually for real and he will say okay lou lou talk to me you and all these guys i gave you this assignment you got these guys under you with natural bodies what are you doing for this part of the earth is righteousness coming forth because it's going to take a thousand years for righteousness to fill the earth see some folks would imagine jesus comes waves his hand every institution is rebuilt every city's rebuilt everybody knows righteousness the human process has been skipped that's not true they're gonna people are gonna build every building every street every bridge every water works every electric company and they're going to be trained and they got to do with righteous values every educational system and the saints are going to be training because they're gonna say luke come here you got this whole area these guys in the natural what are you doing to teach them what is your agenda how is it going we'll say well jesus just tell me what to do he says no no i will inspire you and i'll help you we're partners no this is real your decisions really matter it says in revelation chapter 20 verse 3 verse 4 it says and and judgment was given to them for real your real personality will come some people will do it different because of different personalities the world will be so diverse even under this government it's really exciting that's why martyrdom it's not a problem i mean we look at martyrdom there might be an ouch factor for the moment but beloved we're gonna live forever with physical bodies on the earth ruling we don't lose anything in martyrdom we gain a sure inheritance that we are not afraid of martyrdom we don't like the process of it but stepping over the line to live forever on the earth with a physical dimension like why is that a big thing to step over that line i want to step over that lies when doing righteousness that's all um in revelation chapter 20 verse 4 john sees the souls of the martyrs and then it says that that they live and reign with christ for a thousand years but the rest of the dead don't live again till after the thousand years so who exactly lives like reigns with christ is it just the no no what's happening if you read the chapter 20 if anybody feel free to to leave if you want because we're past the the time and you can stay around or or uh feel free to slip out what it says in revelation chapter 20 verse 4 it's he's talking at first how's the first phrase go i saw thrones and they sat on them and judgment was committed i saw thrones and they said that's the whole body of christ or all the redeemed okay that's the general that's everybody okay that's the they of verse 4 is the they of chapter 19 verse 14 it's the they of chapter 19 verse 21 it's the they that were the armies it's the whole body of christ or all the redeemed because it's even the body of christ from all ages so that's the they they all get thrones those that were faithful now not every believer will have a throne every believer will be a part of the of the kingdom they'll all have an assignment but not everybody will have a government will have a governmental position so because there's so many martyrs in the final decades and again i don't believe the majority of the body of christ will be martyred i mean i believe there's gonna be a billion new souls i mean if if uh if 20 of them died that's 200 million i mean the numbers are staggering but still the percentage my guess will still be small but i mean we can't fathom 200 million and that's a total made-up number of course but 20 we go i could handle 20 that's 200 million and then the other billion of christians on the earth today that's another 200 million that's 400 million i mean that's a lot of martyrs my point is the martyrdom is so prolific even though the percentage i believe is small the john the angels tells john tell them this because that's the generation that will be alive reading the book of revelation that the lord is really paying attention to them in particular so i don't believe that the martyrs are the only ones ruling they're the ones with the most relevant felt need to know about it because there'll be more of them in that time of history than any other time that makes sense what part will we be playing in the battle and will we be killing as well what part it never says that we kill it says he does it doesn't say we do it says we judge i don't know what judging does angels kill angels kill a lot of times i mean all through the old testament there are killer angels i mean there are angels like in our many places i mean literally killer angels for real that sounds funny but their assignment is to kill that's not the only assignment but that's one of the assignments like in ezekiel 9 the angels appear and the lord says go through and mark the intercessors and don't touch them and slay the others you kill them you know when david committed a sin and chronicles he he and 70 people died in israel because of david's sin if you can remember that he had an open vision of the angel with a sword about to strike another 70 000 he goes stop lord please have mercy and it's a good angel killing people and so angels kill and we have greater authority and even a greater involvement in the government than they do i don't know i would only be it would only be a guess if i said yes because it never says it and i always want to stay where the bible says and stay in the boundaries so in that in the battle what will we be doing actually then i don't know we might be killing my we very well could be i just don't know it's completely not fair though because we'll have resurrected bodies and they'll have little squirt guns compared to what we have i mean it really no it is completely a not fair battle from their from a military point of view no their their weapons will be nothing to resurrected bodies and angels but somehow they'll still go to war they'll still think they can pull this off it is remarkable so um my question is from the question the end of revelation 20 chapter 20 it talks about the books are opened and the dead are judged and i was wondering is that the saints are the saints judged after the millennium this is revelation 20 verse 11 to 15 the book that's called the great white throne only unbelievers are there okay all the saints have had a resurrected body for 1 000 years that's what that message the point is is uh john's telling us all of the enemies are gone forever they're never ever we're never going to confront them again but no believers are there so john 3 16 says that god so loved the world that he gave his one and only son that none would perish that all would have eternal life those who believe in him so how do we reconcile that that god so loved the world that none would perish but yet the truth is that jesus is coming and killing everybody i mean he's not killing everybody he's killing the oppressors okay he's killing the people who kill people that's the answer to love is he's killing the people who kills people he's killing the adolf hitler people not the people in the prison camps okay he's killing the oppressors and the reason this is confusing to people they don't understand the oppressor and his system it is justice is the number one cry in all those prayers and we think justice again that seems like a cold prayer request why not about you know lord release your healing power and he says well i will but you trust me justice is going to be the number one issue of the earth so god so loved the world that he will rise up and confront the people who kill people very good that's the real answer good and we think thank you if your family is the one literally raped literally tortured and literally murdered will somebody send a deliverer you know they come you they thank you for helping i mean if you were being assaulted the guy who stopped on the road and helped you you say thank you thank you thank you that's what jesus is doing he's stopping and helping because of love that's good hey my question is about the 144 000 revelation 7 it says that there are servants of god and then revelation 14 it says that they follow the lamb wherever he goes and so my question is are they saved before during or after jesus comes back and how how does this affect how we pray for israel right now how do we pray for them right now in light of what's going to happen to the 144 000 how should we pray for israel like i thought you said how do you pray for the 140 i go yeah well i mean just as representing a remnant of israel in the end time i don't know i don't know where they're saved in the process me and alan and a bunch of us had a real heated debate about it just the other day none of us know because there's evidence of all three of those positions i don't know but i think in the next years we're going to have clarity on that i don't mean me and alan i'm talking about the body of christ so i don't have clarity all three positions beforehand at the moment i don't know whatever the positions are you think that our prayers for israel right now affect the 144 000 sure it has to our prayers for israel the lord would intervene i pray that isaiah 64 i love it because i know the remnant is going to pray it i always pray not always but i pray isaiah 64 a lot we're in the heavens and come down and and i know it's for them praying it i kind of look at the lord i don't really do this but i can't you know i'm making it up i wink at the lord go i get it that this is their prayer but i'm borrowing it hey is this cool or what lord you know and so and so that's i pray that that he will break it in power and release the anointing the prophetic anointing what are some of those little guys and gals nowhere does it say it's men because some people say 144 000 men because it says they're not immoral with women the only group of people that are immoral with men with women is not just men there's another group that are immoral with women that need not to be and so the fact that they avoid immorality with women does not necessarily mean they're men and so most commentators have just assumed they're men but there's nothing that says that it just says that they're pure and they obey jesus so some of these guys and very possibly gals they may be five or ten years old right now for real i've been running around the nation and they mean maybe not yet or maybe a little bit older we don't know but i'm praying for the spirit of power to come on these it's a music it's a worship ministry too they're singers and musicians i'm praying for the lord to touch him now i'm guessing some of them if not a bunch of them are alive and they're little guys right now who knows we don't know we don't have to know but i pray lord break in the spirit of prophecy hit the nation of israel what if we hit one it's also in the nations of the earth too just the jesus scattered the nation of course yeah when jesus comes and he's marching on the land are all the believers throughout history with him on the land no oh oops i jumped ahead or are some are in the new jerusalem or how does that work okay what is happening is that we're raptured we're not raptured and taken away we're raptured and now remember there's about three billion of us it's completely made up number a billion from the past believers a billion today and a billion in the great harvest two or three billion i mean nobody knows but but it's not a hundred billion and it's more than one so it's a two three billion right that's a reasonable where are two or three billion people going to meet in one place that's number one because they are it says it several times they're gathered together in one place so because not only is there not a big enough field because of the judgments there's rubble everywhere i mean how are they where so jesus says there's no problem no problem i made the heavens earth this is no problem we will meet in the sky because this is not a problem at all you'll see when you get there so the rapture is not to take us to go far away to heaven we are we meet the lord in the sky we're brought together we are all rewarded three billion people that's not going to happen in 17 minutes three billion people are going to be individually rewarded now jesus knows what he thinks and he thinks real clear so it's going to go fast but he rewards each one of them there it's his reward and it's his evaluation for three million people it is going to take more than 10 minutes for this to happen okay it's a whole 30 day process we don't know exactly where but we're in the sky now i believe i call it the amphitheater i believe we're in the sky never to lose sight of the earth never i don't believe we ever lose sight of the earth ever and i believe it's the great amphitheater the great cloud of witnesses were there and my opinion there's nothing in the bible that says this that we're in where the sinai peninsula is right now that whole where the children of israel where they went for you know in the wilderness for 40 years that whole big area that's my guess is where we're at doesn't mean it has to be true doesn't matter if it's true wherever we're at it'll be good that's my guess i think it's the amphitheater and we're all there resurrect the body getting rewards getting mobilized and a number whether it's one percent or a hundred percent i don't know will be on the ground nobody knows the amount that's actually marching i don't think three billion are marching that's a lot of numbers but i think some number are i don't know so i think everybody is engaged i don't think we'll ever not see the earth again i think they're at the rapture we'll never lose sight of the earth that's my opinion i see again as the big amphitheater before the lord and we're there and uh four or five key events happen in the next two or three or four months before everything is established and settled i mean actually daniel chapter 12 it's the i mean says it's the strangest passage so you get used to it then it's not so strange it talks about a 75 day period of transition 75 days it's at 75 days that a whole bunch of things happen daniel called it he said the 1 335 days it was 75 days after the rapture lots of things take place it's the transition time and who knows exactly what the order and we don't overly have to know i care about the prayers to pray against the oppressor and to get ready and to explain them and to get people to do them but that information is there in the bible do you believe that it's possible that the resurrected believers will be deceived by saying no not resurrected no absolutely not no when you're resurrected it's solid it's over in terms of the struggle good question though um i just want some clarity you said that in the the jewish people pray that isaiah 64 ran the heavens part after the rapture but wouldn't they're unsafe because if they're saved they go up at the rapture right yeah but wouldn't jesus already be on earth yes so how does that work if they're praying around the heavens well i don't think their theology's perfect you know so no no for real i mean they're unsaved people they're surrounded by the antichrist armies in jerusalem they're going oh god help help they don't even know if he's here so you don't and i think they're praying it even right now though i think they've been praying that prayer for 2500 years 2700 years so you don't think that at this point they don't think that jesus is the messiah yet at this at when they pray that prayer when he's on my guess you know you don't know i can't get that so detailed because i'll miss i'll mess up my guess they might they actually might but they some is like humanity some do some don't and some half and half you know that's just how it always is but you read isaiah 64 it is really graphic they're saying we have sinned please give us another chance we turned away from you we're getting beat up by everybody move all the mountains here they're praying all the book of revelation prayers right there and so and i think because of isaiah's prayer they have courage to pray it because it's in the torah i mean it's in their book they got it i mean the torah is the first five books of the bible but it's in their old testament which is not called the old testament to them but okay okay good great question now here's next week as i mentioned signs and times friday saturday then the next friday and saturday we're going to do this for an hour or two each night we're just going to have open question and answers because we're getting ready for the one day conference because we need some of you we're going to have a hundred leaders we're going to have places marked they're going to be all down the aisles like every 10 rows there's going to be a guy one two three four all the back all the front we're going to have it all marked and organized they're going to have their number and these leaders guys and gals are going to go to their spot at 10 30 at night each night they're going to tell all the one thing folks you see those leaders now go to one and have a big discussion group so some groups will have 10 or 20 other groups will have a hundred and they'll just move their chairs right there and we need some of you to help us in those now we're going to you'll be with another leader but the way it works is that you're there i mean if you know you know scale of one to ten if i know a two and you know a one and they know a point one you are a phd pro in their book so you don't have to know a four nobody knows a four truly we're all ones and twos truly but you if you could just give a few little points they will go man isaiah 63 you know the whole bible i mean they'll be so blown away isaiah 42 where'd you learn that one did you study greek and hebrew too is when i was at class we did on saturday night it's not a big deal but you will be a pro to them for real it will be remarkable and they'll pull you aside and you think i hope i don't give them a heresy you won't you may mix up some of the orders but a heresy is denying jesus you're not going to hurt them but just say it humble and i'll say all that in two weeks you just say you know i'm not real sure but i find out give me your email i'll tell you or hey on our website say a whole bunch of i don't knows i don't know like i did on 144 000 like i don't know you know we're just checking it out don't be afraid of that so if we do that no one's gonna get hurt amen so we got a worship team oh jay i like jay let's stand thank you shelly thank you sarah thank you ryan megan uh ryan wave the sound guys what would i hop be he's the head sound guy over all of there's like 40 different sound units ryan how many is it 38 or 32 or oh mid-20s okay places where there's sound set

Mike Bickle (1955 - ). American evangelical pastor, author, and founder of the International House of Prayer (IHOPKC), born in Kansas City, Missouri. Converted at 15 after hearing Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach at a 1970 Fellowship of Christian Athletes conference, he pastored several St. Louis churches before founding Kansas City Fellowship in 1982, later Metro Christian Fellowship. In 1999, he launched IHOPKC, pioneering 24/7 prayer and worship, growing to 2,500 staff and including a Bible college until its closure in 2024. Bickle authored books like Passion for Jesus (1994), emphasizing intimacy with God, eschatology, and Israel’s spiritual role. Associated with the Kansas City Prophets in the 1980s, he briefly aligned with John Wimber’s Vineyard movement until 1996. Married to Diane since 1973, they have two sons. His teachings, broadcast globally, focused on prayer and prophecy but faced criticism for controversial prophetic claims. In 2023, Bickle was dismissed from IHOPKC following allegations of misconduct, leading to his withdrawal from public ministry. His influence persists through archived sermons despite ongoing debates about his legacy
