Zechariah 1 & 2 | How Long Will You NOT HAVE MERCY on Jerusalem? | Shabbat Study

追加: 2026-06-07

[00:00:02]And it hadn't been long. We we've we've looked in Zechariah 1 and 2 before, but I want to go ahead and look at that again today before we move on to the uh to the other chapters because there's a lot here.

[00:00:15]And I just want to see the correlation to uh the book of revelations and how God is setting us up to understand uh you know that the four horsemen and and the is is tied into the removal of the seals which is the beginning of commotions. So and and what's the purpose of it? All right. So we get to Zechariah 1 and I'll have a few slides.

[00:00:40]is Zechariah is not not a big um a big um book.

[00:00:46]Um he says in the eighth month second year Darius came the word of Yahweh unto Zechariah the son of Beccariah the son the prophet saying now when you read this first verse it gives you an idea of when this was. So we start talking about Darius uh which this is the Persian um when the Persians had taken over and of course now we're we're we're going back we're going back from the Babylonian captive. We're going back into the land and Zechariah's instrumental in helping to rebuild uh you know the temple and all do all these things. So it sets the timing of when this this happens. And it says, Yahweh had been sore displeased with your fathers.

[00:01:31]Therefore say unto them, thus says Yahweh of Host, turn ye unto me, says Yahweh of Host, and I will turn unto you, say Yahweh. Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus says Yahweh of Host, turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings, but they did not hear nor hearken unto me. Says Yahweh, your fathers, where are they?

[00:01:52]And the prophets, do they live forever.

[00:01:55]All right. So now he's challenging us and he's saying, "Look at your fathers.

[00:02:01]Turn to me. Look at your fathers. You saw how displeased I was with your fathers while you continue to do the same thing that your fathers were doing.

[00:02:09]Turn back to me." All right. So this this is this is familiar uh language.

[00:02:15]It's starting to give Leviticus 26 vibes where he's saying he he's asking us about our fathers. And he says, uh, "But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants, the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? And they returned and said, like as Yahweh of hosts thought to do unto us according to our ways, and according to our doing so has he dealt with us." He asked, he asked question, "Where are your fathers right now?"

[00:02:43]And of course, fathers have passed away.

[00:02:45]And he's he's trying to warn everybody that you're temporary on this earth. He said, 'Where are your fathers? You know, did they live forever? Did the prophets live forever? He said, 'You got to be mindful.

[00:02:58]Teach me how to number my days and understand that I'm I'm just temporary here. And he said, and I want you to do that. I want you to understand that. I want you to consider your father. I want you to return unto me.

[00:03:12]And he and so the response in this particular text is an admittance. you know, you you you dealt with us according to our ways. That what we're going through is because of us. It's according to our doing. This is how you're dealing with us. All right? This is the mindset of Leviticus 26 uh that he's talking about. So, I'm going to go to Leviticus 26 right quick and I want to show you this. Now, he's talking about the fathers, looking at the fathers, understanding the father's way.

[00:03:43]He's he's talking about how he turned uh he want us to turn unto him, you know, because we we have turned away from him.

[00:03:52]And uh he's talking about if you'll do that, I'm going to turn back to you. Uh and then I want you to admit what what your fathers went through and what you are going through is because of you. And so we have this admittance here uh in in verse six. All right, let's see. So let's go to the Leviticus 26.

[00:04:13]We're going to go down to 37 verse and he's saying the same thing.

[00:04:18]He says, "And they shall fall upon one another as it were befu before a sword when none pursueth and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies."

[00:04:28]This is where we we've been. We had no power. He's talking about the diaspora.

[00:04:33]We have no power to stand before our enemies. And he said, "Ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemy shall eat you up." And we've seen this over and over again. You know, we're in this land. It's eating us up.

[00:04:46]And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemy's land and also iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away. So he's mentioning here the fathers. Keeps mentioning the fathers. And then he says, "If if they shall confess their iniquity," which he's talking about in Zechariah 2, "and the iniquity of their fathers with their trespass which they trespass against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me, and that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies. If then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they can then accept of the punishment of their iniquity, then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember, and I will remember the land. We need to stamp this on our wall somewhere.

[00:05:41]>> All right, so this this is this is very important. All right. So, he's talking to us and so he's setting us up in the book of Zechariah because he's showing us that this moment is about to happen. He's showing us that this moment of our repentance is about to happen. We're about to admit and now he's moving on into the imagery of of these horsemen that he's talking about in the book of Revelation. All right.

[00:06:06]So, let's uh go to Zechariah 18. And he said, "I saw by night and behold a man riding up on a red horse and he stood among the merl trees that were in in the bottom and behind him uh were there red horses speckled and white." Now take note that these horses uh these horsemen uh are among the Merlin trees. Now when you study merril trees mrl trees always it points to uh is a multiaceted symbol of Yahw's faithfulness his restoration and his enduring presence with us his faithfulness his restoration his enduring presence so when you study the word merrl trees this is uh kind of a summary of what you're going to get out of that so the fact that these horses are among the mer trees he's pointing to his own faith faithfulness, how he's going to restore us, and how he's always going to be with us. So remember that.

[00:07:04]He said, "Then said I, oh my Lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will show thee what these be. And the man that stood among the mer trees answered and says, these are they whom Yahweh has sent to walk to and fro through the earth." And they answered the angel of Yahweh that that stood among the merl trees and said, "We have walked to and fro through the earth and behold all the earth sit still and is at rest." This is a power powerful imagery. So we have these horsemen. They're among the mer trees.

[00:07:36]Uh their purpose then is to carry out uh uh Yahw's plan so that Yahw can show himself faithful so that he can restore us and that he can show us that he's always been with us. This is what these horsemen are representing. This is what they're waiting on, but they're sitting there not not really doing anything.

[00:07:56]They're not working. They're not doing their job. And it explains it later on why it's not their time yet. And he says, "Then um he he gives us a clue in verse 12. He said, "Then the angel Yahweh answered and said, "Oh Yahweh of host, how long wil thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah against which thou has had indignation these three three score and 10 years?" Yeah.

[00:08:24]>> So they they've come we've come out of captivity and he's saying how long is this going to continue uh you you with your people you know that you're not going to have uh mercy on them and on Jerusalem because the rest of the world is is okay with their condition. The rest of the world is okay uh with them being uh you know in this bondage and and and and all this. And Yahweh answered the angel that talked with me with good words and com comfortable words. So the angel that communed with me said unto me, cry thou saying, thus say Yahoo of host, I am jealous for Jerus and for Zion with a great jealousy.

[00:09:06]And he said, I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease. All it goes back to the the horsemen who was saying that the that the world is rest of the world is at rest. So rest of the world is good, but we're the ones in chaos as people, but everybody else is good. Y'all say, "Well, I'm not I'm I'm displeased with that uh with the heathen that are at ease." Uh for I I I was but a little displeased and they help forward the affliction. Other words, here we are as a people going continually going through the things that we're going through. The other nations are seem to be okay with these things.

[00:09:51]Yah saying, "I'm not pleased with how they're handling the situation, but you're in the situation talking to us because of how you acting. So, I had to put you under them, but it's not it's not like I enjoy what they're doing."

[00:10:07]Therefore, says uh thus says Yahweh, I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies.

[00:10:13]My house shall be built in it, says Yahweh of Host. And a line shall stretch uh forth upon Jerusalem.

[00:10:21]Cry yet, saying, "Thus says Yahweh of Host, my city uh through pro prosperity uh shall yet be spread abroad, and Yahweh shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem." So, he's still making this promise that he made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He's still saying, "This is going to be my place.

[00:10:40]This is going to be my people. This is going to be my place. this is going to be the place where I dwell and this is where uh you know I'm going to bring uh my people back to. So he's still saying that promise is there. I had not I have not forgotten my covenant Abraham but it still got some work to do. He said then lifted I up mine eyes and saw and behold four horns.

[00:11:02]And I said unto the angel that talked with me, what be these? And he answered me these are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.

[00:11:11]All right. And Yahweh showed me four carpenters. Then said I, what come uh these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head, but these are come to fray them to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lift up their horn over the land of Judah, the scatter.

[00:11:33]All right. So these these other horsemen that we saw, these carpenters that we saw among the mer trees who have come to help with restoration, the restoration of a people to show uh the faithfulness of the most high.

[00:11:50]Now he's going to send out these four carpenters.

[00:11:54]And he's saying that the reason we're in the diaspora is because he had to send out uh you know these four horns against us that scattered us all over the world.

[00:12:07]They they have been after us no matter where we've gone. You know they scattered us all throughout Africa. They scattered us all throughout Europe. They scattered us all in China, India, all over in the islands, you know. Then they came over scattered us over here into the Americas. This was this was the doing of these four horns that Yahw had had given us over to. And when you read verse 21, he said it's the horns of the Gentiles.

[00:12:36]Horns. When you study the word horns in the Bible, it it represents power. So these are the powers of the Gentiles.

[00:12:44]And he used the powers of the Gentiles, the entities behind the power of the Gentiles to push us out into the four corners of the whole world.

[00:12:57]And he's telling us, it's because of your fathers and you that I had to do this. It's because you turned away from me. I had to turn away from you. And so I put you under the authority of these four horns and they scattered you all over the world. You had no ease no matter where you went.

[00:13:17]And he tells us, "This is my doing." All right? He says, "I need you to see that so that when you repent, it won't be about all these other folk. It'll be about you and me."

[00:13:29]That's where he's trying to get us to.

[00:13:30]And so now he says, "I'm going to send these four carpenters out and their purpose is to shake Judah."

[00:13:41]It it's it's afraid Judah is to shake you so bad that you turn back to me and I'm going to be working on your behalf because remember these are the ones that were among the merit. These are the ones that uh you know are there for your restoration but it's going to come by way of you being afraid that you're going to realize that you have no strength. You have no power to overcome what I'm going to show you.

[00:14:07]that you're in a situation where your own strength and your own power is not going to get you through this. I'm going to touch you in your hip as a people and you gonna have to turn to me in order to get through this. This is what he's saying to us.

[00:14:22]But he says the whole purpose then is to do that for you, but it's also to take away the power that the Gentiles have over you to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horns over the land of Judah. So when we see this, we understand then that the four horns have been after us.

[00:14:43]The horns of the Gentiles have been after us for centuries. And so when we see these other horsemen come out, even though they're going to fray us, scare us, and cause us to turn back to the Most High, they're really here to take the power away from the Gentile. And that's when we get to the book of Revelation, and we see these four horsemen uh begin to move as he begins to remove the seals off. That's why we can make this connection between here and there.

[00:15:11]And that's how we can make the connection between uh the removal of seals uh to the of four horsemen going out to the beginning of sorrows.

[00:15:21]All these things uh collide together.

[00:15:25]All right. So let's look at Zechariah the second chapter.

[00:15:30]He said I I lifted up mine eyes again and looked and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand. Now when you look up definition for measuring line you know and you just go deeper and deeper into the roots uh it's it's of course it's he's talking about he's he's he's going out to measure the promise that he has given the promise that he gave to Abraham this land I'm going to give you all these things he's measuring it out because he's saying I'm about to fulfill this I told you it was yours I'm going to give it to you I'm measuring it out all these lo all these hundred thousand years that I promised this to you I'm measuring out because exact what I promise you exactly what I'm going to give you. I don't care who's on it right now. I don't care who who who says they own it. I don't care what plans they have, what resorts they got on. It doesn't matter. I'm measuring this thing out because I said it was mine to give to you.

[00:16:25]That was my promises and my prophecy. If I tell you something, I'm going to do the thing I told you I'm going to do.

[00:16:32]But when you look up the definition, it also goes into d uh the idea of destroying yolks and a union and pains of travail. So within the definition of the measuring, you know, it's the promise. He's measuring it out. The destroying of yolks from off of us, the union that we have now we're going to have with our Elohim. But also it talks about at the root of that the pain of travail, the birth pain. So we're gonna have to go through in order to get there. All that's in the definition. All you got to do is just look that up. Go down all the way. Keep going down to the root and you're going to see all those definitions in there.

[00:17:15]He said then uh said I where to goest thou? He said unto me to measure Jerusalem to see what is the breadth thereof and what is the length thereof?

[00:17:23]Behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him, and said to him, "Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls, for the multitude of men, and Calvarian, for I, said Yahweh, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her." So now he's he's just like when we were going through the wilderness, he's the protector. He's he was a uh you know pillar of fire by night, uh cloud uh by day. And he said, "I'm going to be there in Jerusalem. I'm going to be there to I'm going to be a wall of fire. Nobody's going to be if you can't if you don't have permission come in. You can't come in and I'm going to be the glory in the midst of her." He said, "Ho and ho, come forth. flee from the land of the north.

[00:18:17]Now he's talking about the exodus. He's bringing us back. Says you if I have spread you abroad as before wind into the heaven deliver thyself, O Zion that dwells with the daughter of Babylon. Now he identifies the the places that we are uh you know uh in the diaspora as the daughter of Babylon.

[00:18:41]You know that's why I I debate with people and they just say America is Babylon. know America is the is a daughter of Babylon.

[00:18:50]All right. Along with other countries as well. All right. So now uh I think this might be the last slide. He says uh for thus says Yahweh of host after the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you for he that touches you touches the apple of his eye. Now we we're we're repenting, turning back to him, and he is still upset about how we've been treated. And he says, after the glory has he sent me unto the nations, which spoiled you. He said, they did you wrong. He said, but he that touches you touches the apple of his eye. For behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their s the ones that were over you are going to be a spoil to this the ones that they had in servitude.

[00:19:45]And ye shall know that Yahweh of host has sent me. Sing and rejoice, oh daughters of Zion, for lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, says Yahweh. and many nations shall be joined to Yahweh in that day, and shall be my people, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that Yahweh of host has sent me unto thee. Listen, there's going to be other nations that I'm, you know, that I give salvation to that going to be joined to me. But my dwelling place is going to be in the midst of you.

[00:20:23]And thou shall know that Yahweh host has sent me unto you.

[00:20:29]And Yahweh shall inherit Judah, his portion. Judah is his portion in the holy land. And shall choose Jerusalem again. Be silent, oh all flesh, before Yahweh, for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.

[00:20:47]All right, so this is the setup. We're going to go more into this tomorrow.

[00:20:52]uh as we begin to make the correlation between this and the beginning of sorrow, the the riding of the four horsemen of the book of revelation, that the purpose of the four horsemen of the book of revelation is to fray us to establish our uh turning back to Yah because we're going to see some things uh that we that's going to, you know, shock us. It's going to throw us off.

[00:21:17]It's going to take away all our strength that we think we have. He's going to touch us in our hip like he did our father Jacob. So that we when we begin to encounter these things, we can't fight in our own flesh. We gonna have to go to him to uh to make sure that we have someone fighting uh for us. So this is um what you know this these first two chapters point to. All right. So just as a quick reminder, he's using Leviticus 26 language here.

[00:21:49]He's he's wanting us as beginning of this prophecy to understand how we got here to talk about what our fathers did, what the prophets have said to turn from our evil ways, from our evil doings.

[00:22:07]Remember what our fathers did. Remember that they didn't live forever. And remember we're not going to live forever and return unto him. And in turn, he's he'll return to us. Then he talks about how these horsemen are there waiting and they've been looking because they're waiting to do their job to go out and frey us. But they're they're waiting until the moment to till to they're allowed to go out because right now those other horsemen, the ones who have spread us all over the world, they have been in charge of the situation. They're the powers of the Gentiles. So, he's going to start dealing with the powers of the Gentiles and begin to remove the powers of the Gentiles when he sends out these other horsemen that we see at the beginning of the book of Revelation.

[00:22:53]These horsemen are there to shake us and help make us return and it's also to take power away from the Gentile.

[00:23:03]That's what the script is saying. All right? And so now we can make correlations.

[00:23:09]uh you know he's saying he's doing this because of the covenant that he he he he had with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

[00:23:16]And so he's jealous for us. He he wants us he wants to live in the midst of us.

[00:23:21]He's faithful. He's going to restore us.

[00:23:24]All these things are there. All right?

[00:23:27]And so that's the setup that we're going into uh when we go into the rest of the book of Zechariah. Then you going we're going to see the other symbolism that's there.

[00:23:39]uh that's going to point us to um some of the events that's going to have to happen uh in these in these last days.

[00:23:47]So, I just wanted to share that real quick. Um so, just go ahead and continue to read Zechariah if you hadn't started reading and we're going to get into God willing chapter 3 possibly for tomorrow.

[00:24:04]All right. Any question coming?

[00:24:07]All right, Shannon.

[00:24:10]>> Shalom. Aunt.

[00:24:11]>> Shalom.

[00:24:13]>> We missed you last week.

[00:24:14]>> Did you?

[00:24:15]>> Yeah, I did.

[00:24:17]>> I ain't have anybody to beat up, so I had to call Chanel to beat her up.

[00:24:20]>> Oh, po.

[00:24:24]>> So, um, you got me to thinking about different scriptures in regard. Sorry, I was walking my dog. Um, the four corners of the earth, the four horsemen, the four horns. Why does it's something the most high is saying something about that uh to me uh Kendall with the four?

[00:24:48]>> Mhm.

[00:24:48]>> And then for him to raise up, didn't he raise Lazarus on the fourth day? Didn't Jesus go and raise Lazarus up on the fourth day? It's something about that four I've just been thinking about.

[00:25:02]while you were talking cuz the four corners and then these confederacy of nations Psalm 83 talks about when they came together to cut us off as a nation.

[00:25:12]>> Yeah. When you see the number four in scripture, he's he's he's talking about um he's talking about a worldly um event, >> right?

[00:25:23]>> If that makes sense. So he's he's talking about he's talking about this ram if that makes sense. You start talking about the four gospels that's meant for this ram. four corn is the four horsemen. So, he's dealing with uh everybody on this ram. So, that's that's what the number four is pointing.

[00:25:38]>> Four means. Yeah. And I think that he raised up Lazarus. I know that I was just reading that about when um you know when when uh Jesus knew that he was sick, he waited an extra couple of days >> before he raised up because I think that they were expecting him to be there to raise him up on the third day, but I think it was four. But I want to make sure. I don't want to lie about against the word, but I'm going to make sure about that. But just raising us up right now, Kendall. You know what I mean?

[00:26:06]Because just think about it. Knowledge is being increased right now. So we more more and more people are coming to that whole knowledge of who we really are, including us, you know, and then just telling other people about it. So that's that's raising us up out of this nation right now.

[00:26:23]>> Yeah. And you know, and distress, you know, you start talking about Lazarus.

[00:26:27]Um, you know, he's showing us that he's going to allow us to go past the point that it looks like we can be recovered.

[00:26:36]>> Right.

[00:26:37]>> If that makes That's why he talks about uh in Ezekiel 37, he talks about can these bones live because Exactly.

[00:26:44]>> we've gone past this this this point of recovery.

[00:26:48]And so he's going all the way back thousands of years and he's he's saying that the promise is even on those back way back then and can these bones live?

[00:26:58]>> And so so you're exactly right. There's there's something there. And so he's >> something special about that. And then he was bound up. Remember I I was looking at that again that he was bound like his face was bound, you know, he had something over his face and he was bound up and he said loose him. when he told somebody to go and loose him from those that that bond that bondage that he was in.

[00:27:21]>> So, um it's something special about that right now, Kendall. You you started something you started something me thinking. Mhm. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I think you know, as you get more revelation, >> you're right.

[00:27:34]>> Just make sure you share.

[00:27:37]>> Yeah, I will. I sure will. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:27:39]Thanks for letting me share. Hey, Miss Noral.

[00:27:41]>> Hey, good morning, Shannon. And Kendall, >> good morning.

[00:27:46]>> She's right. It was four days.

[00:27:49]>> It was four days. I thought so, Miss Norville. It was four days. It's something special about that four. And for the Lord to say that the four corners of the earth, they spread us to four corners of the earth. The four horns, the four horsemen, and then Lazarus raising him up after the fourth day.

[00:28:06]>> Yeah. the the uh fourth day of when he was raised on the fourth day. I believe it was because uh you know sometimes I think they were saying that they could get up uh within the third day by the fourth day they're not getting up they stanking and and everything's coming out >> right and then see the thing it is too even deeper than that >> see that like like Kendall said in Ezekiel can these bones live see they think that that we so caught up in this land that the Most High can't free us from this land, but he's going to do it.

[00:28:44]And he's going to do it in the most powerful way. You hear me? That's what he's going to do. That first exod exodus is not going to be even comparable to what he's going to do with us because these people see they can continue to think that the most high is not at work for us, but he is. He's fighting our battles for us. And that's what we have to remember.

[00:29:04]>> Amen.

[00:29:05]>> Yeah.

[00:29:05]>> So true.

[00:29:07]>> Yeah.

[00:29:08]>> All right. Good stuff. Uh, Michaela, >> I just got a question about um something that you read in Zechariah. I know you know that there's a a flea doctrine that's out there. And one scripture that they use is where um it says, "Deliver thyself, O Zion."

[00:29:29]And um so my question was to the to the some that has this doctrine um where you going to deliver yourself to?

[00:29:38]And then how what does he mean in that in that passage about delivering ourselves?

[00:29:45]>> Well, uh and I I'll look at a little bit closer, but it seems to me that he's saying it's a challenge to us.

[00:29:54]Can you do it in your own strength and but he's also saying there is deliverance, you know, but you're gonna have to turn to me to be able to do it. It's kind of like uh similar what he says in the book of revelations to the church um to uh I think a leadya when he says uh you know he says you're rich and you have all these things but he said but I need you to buy me some gold that's been tried in the fire. Well, we know that the gold has been tried in the fire is Yeshua himself. So you can't really buy him. But he's telling you if you're going to obtain this gold that's been tried in the fire, you going to have to repent. So the price that you got to pay is to repent and turn back to me. So there is a a a price or something that we can do, but it's not in our own strength. So seems to me a play on words. I'll look at it again and make sure and then we'll we'll circle back around to it.

[00:30:52]>> That that was my thinking too because you know like you said people say that Babylon is is America. It it it's a whole it's the whole system. if we were scattered to the four corners, he wouldn't just be telling Americans to flee. You know, we we're the only ones that wouldn't flee. And then if we were going to flee, we don't know where the wilderness is. We don't know where the exact Jerusalem is. We don't know where we could deliver ourselves to. So for me, I was having a discussion. I was saying, "No, for me, it seems like deliver your soul." I mean in the in the sense of hiding yourself in Yeshua, getting it right, repenting and like Zechariah said to uh you know look at the things our forefathers did to repent and repent from those things that we have done and they have done and realize that if you know we in this situation because of us not be looking for somewhere else to go >> right that and that's that's the context of it. Now, as far as uh I know, you know, when you look at the at the at the promise that Yahw made to Abraham about the 400 years, >> a lot of people confuse the the possibility that we may have to leave this country with the with the with the exodus >> of the whole world. And that that could be two totally different things >> because we we we've had to leave a country before. We left. We had to leave England. We had to leave Spain. We had to leave France. We had to leave Italy.

[00:32:12]I believe Italy. We had We've We've had We've been kicked out of a lot of places. And it could be, and I'm not saying it is, but it could be that we may have to leave the United States, you know, because he said after that 400 years, at some point, you know, you're going to come out with great substance.

[00:32:28]So, if we believe that prophecy, at some point, we're going to have to leave. Now the question would be is he tying that in with the great exodus or is this a separate leaving? If it's a separate leaving, it doesn't necessarily have to be part of that great exodus. And it doesn't seem to me that that would be the case. Uh cuz this nation, he he talks about a particular nation going under judgment. So I'm thinking that's why people get uh the idea confused.

[00:32:56]>> Well, they working on the 14th amendment, but we may get kicked on out.

[00:33:01]But if we do, we're going to leave out according scripture with with great substance.

[00:33:05]>> Amen. Thank you.

[00:33:07]>> All right. Good. Ah, Shabbat shalom.

[00:33:15]>> Shabbat shalom.

[00:33:17]>> Um, so when we when you were talking about the uh the scripture in Zechariah 2 and8 when it says, "Whoever touches Yahweh's people touches the apple of his eye," >> it got me thinking. Um, so when I was reading uh the first book of Enoch 46:4 and 6, it says that the kings and the mighty who possess the earth and oppresses his people will be cast from the thrones with their faces filled with shame. So is that is that a correlation to to >> Yeah, definitely a correlation. Yeah, he's he's going to uh you know, you know, cast down those who are over us and and make them subject to the ones that they were over.

[00:34:02]You know, it's how he's going to do it.

[00:34:05]I I don't know. But he he mentions it in in several places that, you know, that's what he's going to do. Talks about in the book of Revelations, you know, uh you know, those who sent us into captive would go into captivity. And so, he's he's he's switching things up. He's going to do exactly what he said he's going to do. Uh but that's how dramatic all these events uh in the book of Revelation is going to be uh because it's going to set up the atmosphere for these things to happen.

[00:34:34]>> Yeah, appreciate that. And then um so so I guess what I guess my my next question would be so so so in Zechariah 2 when it when it's showing the the the man trying to to measure Jerusalem being stopped um because the the city will be too full I guess for the walls.

[00:34:55]Um, and then back to that Enoch scripture, you know, confirming that those who scatter Israel will face jud judgment.

[00:35:05]Like, are we are we are we beginning to watch that judgment now or has it not started?

[00:35:11]>> As as the way that the book Zechariah reads that, you know, this these are events going to happen after the U four horsemen begin the ride. And so you can kind of link up the timing with the measuring because you see another measuring in the book of revelation where he he measures the outer court of you know where the temple would be. Uh I think it might be Revelations 11:10 or 11. And so that would be the timing.

[00:35:41]Like I said I I believe that the last days follow because he calls it a harvest. I believe that it follows the harvest patterns in scripture because he does everything by prophecy by pattern.

[00:35:57]And so once the you know and and you know we talked about this pattern being a two jubilees basically you know uh the removing of the seals be a jubilee uh the trumpets will be a jubilee and so you know scriptures seem to follow that up with all the events that's got to happen in that particular time. So going from here to the measuring part it's going to be some years in between then. Okay.

[00:36:27]>> Yeah, it's it's going to be a it's going to be a minute. So, I'm working on something now. Y'all willing, you know, so that we can get a better visual >> of the timeline because there's no way all the things can happen that scripture say has to happen that hadn't happened that in a in seven years or eight years or 10 years just it's just impossible for all that to happen.

[00:36:50]So, we have to follow the course of events of all the things that's going to happen and then uh then we can get a better idea.

[00:36:58]But I think we're right at the at the beginning of the removal of the first seal. I just think that each seal lasts about seven years.

[00:37:06]>> Mhm. Okay. Yeah, that makes that makes sense. Appreciate you.

[00:37:11]>> Yes, sir. Uh Dr. Brown again. um you know we it seems like the ruach is definitely and um moving and and um talking and laying things in people's hearts, minds and spirits because um there's been a lot of talk about um moving leaving performing their own exodus and you know when I come in contact with people we're talking about I'm just going to leave I'm going to do this and you know and sometimes I hear that they're moving out of fear which is a trick of the enemy. Like please don't move until the most high tells you to move. And also make sure that you are definitely in your word every day. Stay washed with the word. keep your mind fresh in a new, you know, renewed with the word because in these days that we're living in, uh, the enemy has always, you know, pulled out his little bag of tricks, but he's definitely going to, you know, pick it up, um, because he knows that his time is limited. And so if he has us moving and jumping around in utter chaos, which once again is not of the most high, um then we leave ourselves wide open and subjective and you know for the things that he's going to bring against us. We really have to be careful and be mindful to move when the Most High tells you to move, >> not before. because the enemy will move you into some very dangerous situations cuz he wants to take your life anyway.

[00:38:50]Um, so we just have to be mindful and that and I said I'm hearing more and more people say I'm just going to leave.

[00:38:56]I'm just going to and they sound like they're so full of fear and I tell them honey that is not the spirit of the most high. He is when he tells you to move you're not going to be feeling fear.

[00:39:07]you're gonna feel, you know, secure and you're gonna be bold in your movement, not I'm doing this because I'm afraid.

[00:39:15]So, I think that's just something that we should all keep in mind.

[00:39:20]>> Yeah. Yeah. I agree 100%. You know, um not to move in fear, you know, or or any or any other fleshly uh thing. Now, Mos High is saying, get you another passport or, you know, you know, hey, go ahead and get your passport, but I'm with you.

[00:39:37]Don't move until it it's time to to move. You know, um you know, some people are trying to move to avoid certain things, to avoid uh trouble or avoid this or avoid that. So, my point to that would be that whatever Yah has planned for me to press out of me, the thing that he wants out of me, he's going to do that. whether I stay here or go somewhere else, the that the lesson that he has for me to learn is going to be learned wherever I am. We we've got to settle in that. So, we can't escape uh our situations uh thinking that y'all doesn't have uh a plan uh to mature me. Yeah, I hope that makes sense. Uh now I remember when I was young I probably in my in my in my 20s and and and these people were coming at me a certain ways particularly this one girl she just going to management lying on me all this anyway make a long story short I was tired and I said told my friend of mine who I was doing some studies with and uh and uh I'm just going to make up a name uh you know and I said man this this this I Mary chick she just you she's just always lying, going to management, trying to make me look bad, doing stuff or whatever. I said, "I got to get out of it. I'm find me another job." And he looked at me and he said, "That's, you know," he said, "I if that's something you need to do, you know," he said, "But let me ask you a question." He said, "What if you go to your next job and there's 10 Mary's at the next job?" He said, "How you going to handle that?"

[00:41:24]And so I just stopped dead in my track because I knew what he was saying. that the maturity level to handle the one Mary isn't there. How you going to go to another job and there might be 10? What are you going to do?

[00:41:41]So, I hope that helps somebody.

[00:41:45]But we have to we have to be prepared.

[00:41:48]uh he's going to prepare us wherever we are in order that we might turn to him and mature in him so that we can grow in him to become who he has called us to be.

[00:42:01]>> Amen.

[00:42:03]>> All right. Good stuff. Um Dante Shri, >> Shabbat Shalom.

[00:42:10]>> Shabbat shalom.

[00:42:11]>> Shabbat shalom every everybody. Um, kind of circling back to Zechariah 1 and 19 and and 20. Um, before I say share this, I wholeheartly agree with Dr. Brown.

[00:42:25]Absolutely. Do not move unless Yahw says move. Do not move in fear. He has not given us the spirit of fear. And a lot of a lot of the echo chambers with the the media and even some of the churches, they're echoing fear-based um just just talking points. So don't allow that spirit to cause you uh to move outside of the will of God. But I think it interesting a um in the 19th uh verse of chapter one of Zechariah talking about the horns and them being symbols of nations. And then also and it's also interesting that from the the uh PaleoHebrew word that horn is from >> the dart.

[00:43:12]>> I'll spell it so that um that someone else can look it up if they want. It's qen Quran I believe is how you spell pronounce it. But I'm a little country so I may be saying it wrong. Uh but it personifies the the word horn in its origin is uh it's the personified aggressive concentrated military forces wielded by the chiefs heathen empires of the earth. And these empires use their peak physical terrifying strength to violently gore and scatter Yah's people.

[00:43:49]But then in verse 20 uh we find that that Yah talks about his carpenters and and in in the uh the context of the word carp carpenters in the ancient quote unquote time. They uh they are the only entity with the specialized tools capable of cutting, shaping, and utterly shattering a hardened animal horn.

[00:44:17]showing that Yahw possesses a superior power to break the empires that oppressed Yasharel.

[00:44:24]>> That's that's powerful.

[00:44:26]>> Yeah, that's that's that's nice right there.

[00:44:31]And it suggest a a a building you or shaping like you were saying. We were talking about the rocks and the stones uh the other week, you know, and how we have to be shaped outside of of the of the city uh or or of the temple. And then he takes what been chiseled and shaped and molded and takes it into the temple to be part of this greater thing. Now, I get that same imagery when when you were talking about those uh those carpenters. So, yeah, that's powerful imagery there.

[00:45:05]>> I just thought that was amazing. And y'all keeps just causing my mind to have the mind-blowing emoji here lately.

[00:45:13]But I I appreciate this lesson. This was this was good. And I'm looking forward to to continue to dive into Zechariah.

[00:45:20]>> Yeah, it's a lot Zechariah. So yeah, we we gonna we going to dive in there. All right. Um when was Wendle next?

[00:45:34]>> Shalom.

[00:45:34]>> Shalom.

[00:45:36]Um, great lesson and I caught your u the other video with the fellas Dante Hank and DMac >> and um, you know, I really like that because you made um, everything make sense about you know us as a people being in bondage seems like forever.

[00:46:03]You were like talking about how you know because of the you know the suffering and then when it comes to you know like you was talking about building uh building the lower you have to go for the for the foundation so for the higher you can go you know so as a people is that why you know we've been in so much suffering because of the prophecies he has for us in the end about where we're going to be placed as a people.

[00:46:34]>> Oh, absolutely. Yeah. I mean, when when you look at the promise that he made and he's not going to he can't because he is who he is can't go back on the promise that he made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. So, when you make a promise on a people and you say this is how high they're going to be, um yeah, you you got to go low.

[00:46:58]And he he uses all of this imagery throughout scripture.

[00:47:02]um where he talks about servitude. You know, servitude is is the word for slavery and and different things, different forms of slavery, uh different levels of slavery, different types of slavery, but it's all servitude.

[00:47:17]And he talks about um you know, if if he said the greatest he he tells he warned disciples, he said, "Listen, the world system is different from our system."

[00:47:30]He said the greatest in the kingdom that you're in is going to be the greatest or the best slave or the best servant. I know that's but but the lower you go, the higher you go. If if you suffer with me, you reign with me. If you can't suffer through, then you can't reign.

[00:47:53]I'm hoping all that makes sense. But there's a correlation uh between the higher you go, the lower you got to go.

[00:48:00]And because nobody went lower than uh our Messiah, nobody can go higher than him. And that's why he was given all authority and and all power and all majesty. He sits higher than anyone. He He's the most high. I mean there's some high ones but he he's the most >> because he was the most low you know so yeah that there's a correlation between that's why he uses terms like rooted and grounded >> u and he uses uh you know foundation and building because the higher you go the lower you go first >> yeah great correlation >> so What does hardship and rough times actually build in us?

[00:48:52]>> What does Say that again.

[00:48:54]>> Hardship, rough times, you know, cuz it seems like I've been I've been catching it since I was a young man.

[00:49:02]>> Mhm.

[00:49:03]>> And um >> Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you you you know, if you're chosen, yeah, you're going to get it. And and it takes a while to figure out why you're getting it.

[00:49:13]It really does because it just doesn't seem fair, you know, um that you're going through the things that you're going through and you don't really have anybody to talk to about it. You you you know, you can't figure out it's like, you know, why is this happen to me?

[00:49:28]These people over here can do the same thing I just did and nothing happened.

[00:49:32]>> I mean, so yeah, I understand. I understand that, you know, but there's a greater there's a greater call.

[00:49:40]Um, and there's a test too that you know and that's one of the things that he talks about this trial that we have to go through as a as a people because can we go through the trial first and still love him through the trial? That's a question and I I don't know if we we understand how powerful that question is and why Yeshua would say if you suffer with me uh because there's so many in this world that has a Esau mentality. I I only want you for what you can give me. I I don't want you for you. I don't want the birthright. I I just want the blessing.

[00:50:22]So now Yah says, "Okay, but I'm going to be able to distinguish my people from the rest of the world because my people want me for me.

[00:50:37]And I'm going to prove that because they will go through the suffering and not lose their faith in me because they want to be with me. And as a result of me knowing they just want me for me, I'm gonna give them everything.

[00:50:56]It's kind of like if you were in a relationship, you know, you you worked all your life, you built up a fortune, you're a billionaire, you're going to be skeptical of trying to find a wife after you become a billionaire because now you're sitting in a position to where you have everything.

[00:51:19]And so people are going to use you for what you have and not for you. They might not care nothing about you, but you got something. And so there's always going to be this question in the back of your mind. Is she with me because of me or is she with me because of what I got?

[00:51:34]It's a different mentality if you're with a woman who supports you through the building process and you all acquire these things together. There's a security in your mind that say, "No, she was with me when we were driving around in that little broke pinto with the window that wouldn't come down in one headlight.

[00:51:55]She was with me for me.

[00:51:58]>> It's a different mentality." And so Yah test us through the trial as his bride to see who's there for him.

[00:52:09]And that's why he would tell Abraham stuff like, "I am you're exceeding uh grateful for. So, it's a test. It's a trial.

[00:52:19]Uh will I quit on him because of hard times? Will I quit on him because it doesn't look like what I think it ought to look like. Uh you know, John, you about to get your head cut off? Blessed.

[00:52:30]He that's not offended in me.

[00:52:33]It it's it's the trial. So, I understand it. Yeah, I really do. And it and and it it takes a minute to work through that.

[00:52:41]It really does, you know, why is it these things? Why are these things happening to me?

[00:52:47]>> Um, but once you begin to realize that he's with you and he has promises and he didn't lie to you when you read that word, he told you that this was going to happen to you, then that's when your faith begin to grow more.

[00:53:03]>> Yeah. And that's that's where I'm at with it. Cuz you know, the more I read read the scriptures and the deeper my relationship grows, it felt like um the Most High, he knew that he can trust me to go through those things and I wouldn't leave him and my faith will grow.

[00:53:21]>> Well, you know, that's where I'm at with it now.

[00:53:23]>> Yeah. Yeah. He trusted that him and you that you would listen to the him and you.

[00:53:30]>> Yeah. Good stuff. But it's it's a process because and I say this I let it go but we're trained opposite by the synagogue to think differently.

[00:53:42]>> We think in our minds that that Yah made promises to us that he didn't make. We think in our minds that he made promises the American dream promise. We think that's Yah. That wasn't Yah. We think if we we go to school, we do this, we do that, then we should get this and we should get that. That's a that's a dream that we were fed. We were given that.

[00:54:02]You can't find that in the scripture.

[00:54:05]And then when we don't get that thing, then we are upset and mad at him for something that he never promised to begin with. And that's why it's important for us to get in the word and see what he said, his promises, his process, what he told us we were going.

[00:54:20]The world hate me, they gonna hate you, too. Oh, okay. I didn't realize that's what you said.

[00:54:28]You get what I'm saying? He didn't lie to us. They lied to us about him.

[00:54:33]And so now we got to go in there and seek out what he said about us and say, "Okay, he been telling me the whole time, but my eyes on what they said and not on what he said."

[00:54:44]But you won't find that out unless you read the scriptures yourself.

[00:54:47]>> You got to get in there cuz even the church won't teach you that. They talking prosperity and you ain't going to go through nothing. And if you do go through something, it's because of something you did.

[00:54:58]>> And the scripture talks about that. He said, "The people going to teach you that gain is godliness."

[00:55:06]>> That's in the book, too.

[00:55:09]So, uh, anyway, yeah, that's good stuff. But yeah, I'm with you.

[00:55:17]I think that gain is God is in 1 Timothy 6 and5.

[00:55:23]>> He said, uh 1 Timothy 6 and5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth supposing that gain is godliness he said from such withdraw yourself all right good stuff Dr. Branch, you have some on this.

[00:55:44]>> Yes. Um, wonderful discussion and I love that analogy that you use with the millionaire or billionaire whatever.

[00:55:50]Now, you got to be extra cautious. We need to be extra cautious because our wealth within the most high um is just off the charts. So, we need to be careful who we allow into our our world, our circle anyway because a lot of people do come u with ill intentions.

[00:56:09]They come to drain what you have whether it's financial, spiritual, mental, whatever. They they see it. They don't know what it is, but they want it. Um, some do know what it is, but they definitely come to to kill, steal, and destroy.

[00:56:25]>> Um, but I forgot something from my earlier question about sounds. Um, now that the Euphrates River is is drying up, um, they talk about all the sounds that are coming out of there, like these really weird um kind of spooky sounds, like soul shattering sounds, and they believe it's because of the four um that have been um chained. the four I don't want to call them demons or whatever but and I'm not even sure if they're fallen um but it's supposed to be four I'll say heavenly hosts that are chained there until the Most High released them to go do whatever it is that they've been assigned to do. So they're hearing all these sounds and they believe that it's coming from that I mean from them. Is this something that you've heard about?

[00:57:15]Yes.

[00:57:16]>> So what are your thoughts on that? Yes, I've heard I've heard that and I've heard um uh you know in that area. I've heard also um of people hearing sounds, you know, when they go deeper into the oceans. Of course, that's scriptural, too. Uh so, yeah, they're hearing these things, you know. Um, and I believe, you know, that those sounds are real in in the Euphrates, you know, and at some point, you know, like I said, I think it's I can't remember what trumpet it is. It might be the fourth, fifth trumpet somewhere in there where he releases uh those angels from that area to to go out and wreak havoc. But it's going to happen. And yeah, I've heard that before. Um, and other strange sounds in the ocean. you know, you've heard you've heard um divers that were just shook from what they heard and they won't go back. So, yeah, those um those stories are are out there.

[00:58:16]>> I honestly believe that we're definitely living in the last days. I know I've been hearing that >> like from the day I started in church um at four or five years old, whatever.

[00:58:27]I've been hearing that we're living in the last days. But at the time I didn't understand um God's timing or the Most High's timing versus our timing, right?

[00:58:37]Because I'm thinking everything on the the measurements of what mankind has come up with, but I really do feel that we are definitely in the last days. I don't know if I'll still be here to see it um in the, you know, living like this in this body, but I do believe we are in the last days.

[00:59:00]Yeah. Yeah. We're definitely uh in the in the last days, you know. Um but yeah, and I would suggest anybody go read uh when we did the study on Enoch, we did we would we talked about Behemoth and Leviathan.

[00:59:14]So, uh go check that out. You know, that's in we correlated that with what's in the in the in the KJV.

[00:59:21]All right. Good stuff. Uh, Dante Sheree, >> shalom everybody.

[00:59:30]>> Shalom.

[00:59:32]>> Hey, how y'all doing? Um, all praises to the most high. Y I am encouraged today by this lesson because um some of y'all know me and Dante celebrated our anniversary this weekend and so last night we went out >> last night we went out to dinner and sometimes I get discouraged by the condition of Yah's people how we're living and conducting ourselves publicly. And so after we got home, I was disheartened at how I saw my sisters looking and conducting themselves publicly.

[01:00:17]And this lesson today has reassured me that Yah is in control and that his promises are real. The ones in the book, not the ones they taught us at at the building.

[01:00:32]and that he has a plan and he has carpenters with tools and they are skilled and masterful and that they are going to do his bidding and his will and his work in the way that he wants them to do it and that in the end the victory is his and and we will triumph over all this inverted perversion and foolishness that we have to see every day with our eyes.

[01:01:03]And so the lesson today encouraged me.

[01:01:06]And reading Zechariah again has encouraged me that just because I see something with my eyes doesn't mean that that that's all there is.

[01:01:18]That there's more to come and that we are in the last days. And I am going to continue to wait in great expectation of what Yah is doing.

[01:01:28]And just thank you always for dedicating your time and your intellectual uh studies and energy toward helping us move toward closer and closer toward Yah. So all praises to the most high.

[01:01:47]>> All praises to the most high. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, I'm I'm I'm with you. Uh you know, he he's working with us. you know he's he keeps opening up avenues for us to understand more and more you know about him and I can remember me having similar experiences sometimes I still do looking at our condition and he always takes me back I can't remember whether it was second Ezra or second Baroo I had to go back and find but it may have been Baroo he was dealing with the same thing so the prophets deal with the same thing looking at the condition of the people and he was asked, "Do you think that you love Israel more than Yah?

[01:02:35]Don't you think that Yah is hurt too?"

[01:02:37]Basically, what he was saying, but he was saying, "I got a plan for Israel."

[01:02:43]And that's what uh helps me too to remember his plan. And so, uh it hadn't been too long ago that I was asked that question. Do you think you love Israel more than me?

[01:02:57]No. No sir. Sorry. But yeah, so he he got us. He got he got the uh he got the plan. All Israel chall everybody.

[01:03:19]>> Shabbat shalom. Hey, you know, some some weeks the is is challenging for me to to know what's more fulfilling, the actual lesson or the Q&A.

[01:03:31]>> Uh cuz cuz both of them are are just so amazing to me. Uh the questions that are asked in the Q&A, the comments that are made, you know, some of the things that people say to really just be vulnerable uh in this in this uh this space that you allow us to have and then your responses to them. Uh sometimes I'm just like where did he get that answer from?

[01:03:51]And uh I really appreciated Wendle's um comments there. I mean I really do and I I mean I I don't know how we going to pull it off when but me and you got to meet up somewhere brother cuz some of the stuff that you say man I was like this dude man I love this brother and um you know I just I was thinking about as you were talking I'm trying not to tear up here. Um, I was thinking about how many times I've asked the Most High, "How many times I got to go through this stuff and and he's answering me every time. He's answered me every time." And he pointed me to this word, tribulations, and he had me look it up and and I understand the word tribulations. I understand that it is not, you know, a place that you just walk through one time. It's something that you continue to go through over and over again because it points to a worn path. It points to a narrow place. It points to a rubbing. It it points to a compression. It it it points to a place where uh you we I have no options. I'm not supposed to have any other option but him. And uh and as much as he has answered my question over and over again, I still find myself asking why do I have to keep going through this nonsense? And uh I would just encourage you when Wendle to take a look at that word tribulations and perhaps maybe uh you'll ask the question less than I have over the years even though he continues to answer me over and over again. Thanks for allowing me to share.

[01:05:17]>> Yes, sir. That's good stuff, man. Uh and I want to reiterate, you know, that we're not the only ones, you know, uh that asked that question. You know, you go to Psalms 13 and it starts off with that. He said, "How long will thou forget me, oh Yahweh, forever?

[01:05:35]For how long will thou hide thy face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?" I mean, this is the power stuff. It's a short chapter. Go read it. Psalm 136 verses.

[01:05:56]But when he gets to the end of it, he said, "But I have trusted in thy mercy.

[01:06:02]My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

[01:06:03]I will sing unto Yahweh because he has dealt bountifully with me." There's nothing wrong with having that. How long we all go through that? David went through it. That's what Psalms was written um you know from him.

[01:06:20]So it it's a process you know um but at the end of the day you know we we come to the right conclusion where we say uh he has dealt bountifully uh with us. So yeah so don't beat yourself up. I go through the same things.

[01:06:41]Uh, but Yahw is faithful and he continues to just continues to build us up and bring us bring us through.

[01:06:50]>> Indeed, he is. All praises to the most high.

[01:06:52]>> All praise to the most high. All right, Shannon.

[01:06:56]>> Hey, I just wanted to apologize to Dante. I wasn't trying to be off the mic earlier.

[01:07:03]Chanel got on me. She said I was laughing, but I was playing with my dog.

[01:07:07]>> You kind of loud, you know. But I, you know, I ain't going to say nothing, but I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if I believe that. I >> I'm fearfully and wonderfully made.

[01:07:16]Kendall, >> I don't know, Kendall. Definitely. I think >> No, I'm just kidding. No, no worries.

[01:07:21]All good.

[01:07:22]>> You said kind of loud. I was thinking more like really loud.

[01:07:28]>> We We can come up with some more adjectives, uh, adverbs or whatever.

[01:07:33]>> Y'all always trying to beat me up, man.

[01:07:35]I'm telling you, I'm go to the most high on y'all.

[01:07:40]I just wanted to make sure he knew. I wasn't trying to interrupt his his statements.

[01:07:45]>> Yeah, I think he knew that. Yeah, you're good.

[01:07:48]All right. Uh Wendle, >> I just wanted to tell Hank I appreciate that. And um you know, I no longer ask that question, you know, why such and such is happening because I know the way that the Most High works now. I know that he's in control of it all. So, if he has me in a certain situation, it's for, you know, for me to learn the lesson. And if he hasn't taken me out of that situation, I guess I haven't learned the lesson. So, you know, it, like you said, it took it took a while for me to get to that point. But, you know, it's through the help of your, you know, your lessons and the jewels you be dropping. And I constantly, I'm constantly watching your videos and I don't even know if you understand how many Jews you be dropping.

[01:08:43]I'm telling you, I just be like, "Yo, I don't even remember him saying this, but I I keep constantly watching. I'm, you know, I'm picking up what you're putting down and it's allowed me and my relationship with the Most High to grow.

[01:08:56]So, I appreciate you. Appreciate the classes. Appreciate your teachings.

[01:09:00]>> All praises. All praise to the Most High. Yeah.

[01:09:04]>> Yeah. I can remember going through that same process, man. It was, you know, when you're in it, it's different when you're in it, you know, and, you know, you trying to escape. Can't escape. I remember I was trying to leave the job I was on and the and the and the janitor, you know, a great guy, man. We used to talk all the time and uh people couldn't didn't understand our friendship. You were at management, you know. Anyway, I play that game. But anyway, me and him would type. We used to talk all the time. We I you know, we would exchange scriptures, stuff like that. And so I was telling him one day, I said, uh, you know, man, I'm I got to get out of here.

[01:09:44]He said, he said, you know, he said, man, I know there's a lot of pressure on you. He said, but you ain't going nowhere. I said, what do you mean? He said, he Most High is not going to let you leave. He said, the Lord not going to let you leave. I said, what do you mean? He said, no. He said, you you one of the few lights that we have. It ain't time for you to go yet. And he was right. I couldn't leave. I tried for years, man. I had jobs lined up and he would not let me leave that place.

[01:10:13]But uh he taught me a lesson. When I when it's time for you to leave, I let you leave, you know. But whatever I got for you to learn here, you're going to learn it. So >> So be it.

[01:10:25]So I'm with you.

[01:10:28]All right.

[01:10:30]Anybody else?

[01:10:35]>> Yeah. Shalom.

[01:10:36]>> Shalom.

[01:10:38]>> Yeah. I see. Do you see what I see with the Pharaoh spirit of spirit of today?

[01:10:45]How it seem like it's mounting up for more plagues to come against this country >> because it show seem like it's operating in that spirit realm.

[01:10:55]>> Yeah, I'm I'm curious too. Uh, you know, I mean, I think I think it's about to ramp up and you know, people not paying attention to this uh Ebola thing. you know, I'm wondering how is y'all gonna use that, you know, against against the uh nations. So, it's it's ramping up.

[01:11:12]It's ramping up big time. Yeah. So, I think we we I don't think we're prepared. Well, I know the nation's not prepared for what what's coming, >> right?

[01:11:24]>> Yeah.

[01:11:26]All right. Anybody else?

[01:11:28]>> Yeah. I I have a quick question. Um I didn't see it on there until this morning. you uh said read Zachchariah.

[01:11:37]Is it Zachchariah we supposed to read?

[01:11:41]>> Yeah. We're gonna we're gonna go through the uh whole book.

[01:11:45]>> And so we went through chapters one and two today >> and we're going to do if y'all will we're going to try to do at least three and four tomorrow.

[01:11:53]But the chapters are kind of short. And so we're going to kick we're going to kick it off uh with Samson tomorrow and let him read the through the seifer >> and then we'll go into the lesson part >> and um >> it should >> Yeah, it should be pretty short. Hey, I may have missed it, but did when you went through Zechariah chapter 1 um verse 15- 16, I remember speaking about it like two or three weeks ago >> about how um Yahweh ordained a specific type of of affliction for us >> and and these nations took it further and they're going to be judged for it.

[01:12:32]Did Did you speak on that?

[01:12:34]>> I know.

[01:12:34]>> I remember we spoke on it like last month, I believe.

[01:12:37]>> Yeah, we went through Zechariah. I I'm not sure. I had to go back and see, but I do know that um yeah, he he ordained a certain amount for us. You remember we talked about that in the in the book of >> Enoch.

[01:12:49]>> And we were talking about these uh I think the 70 shepherds that's over us that he put on >> and we was actually paralleled, right?

[01:12:58]>> Yeah. And they and they went too far.

[01:12:59]And he said they did they they did more killing than he had uh ordained for them to do, more persecution.

[01:13:07]>> So yeah, they went too far. So when Zechariah spoke on of it on 15 and 16, was he reiterating Enoch or was he caught up in the same spirit as Enoch and got a revelation of what was supposed to happen compared to what did happen?

[01:13:22]>> Yeah. I'm not I'm I can't really explain whether or not it was like, you know, the spirit of Enoch, but I do know he had the revelation, you know, that, you know, that the Gentile powers have, you know, they're at ease. They're they're too relaxed about the persecution that my people are going through. They don't care.

[01:13:43]>> So, you know, I got to take care of this. This, you know, but it's powerful, right?

[01:13:48]>> Yeah. Short language. He says, "So, and and that's why you see the horsemen among the mer trees. They're not moving yet, but he has a they're designated when the time come to go out and begin to change start changing uh the things around."

[01:14:05]And that's what we see in the book of Revelation. Yeah.

[01:14:09]All right. Good stuff.

[01:14:12]All right. Anybody else?

[01:14:16]All right. Well, let's go ahead and get out of here. Like I said, go ahead if if you can uh read those up front and then uh we'll get started tomorrow. Uh we'll kick it off uh with the CEF uh reading and then we'll go into the the lesson. All right, let's pray.

[01:14:32]Father, we just want to thank you for all that you continue to do for us, the the opening up our minds and hearts to you. But you promise if we turn back to you that you would you would turn back to us, if we take a step toward you, that you would take uh step toward us.
