The Star of Jacob – A Sign In The Sky

Today

we’re gonna be learning Astrology. Okay. So today we’re gonna be studying stars, we’re not gonna be studying the planets, and we’re not gonna be studying the universes and all them things that are out there that you think, might have to do with in your own mind,

And that’s exactly what we’re gonna do today. We’re gonna study stars, And we’re gonna see if there isn’t any prophecy within stars, okay? And if there is prophecy concerning stars, and to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, first and second, are there signs and the stars.

So what we’re gonna do is we have a time chart written down here, and all we’re gonna do is make it nice and simple. So all we’re gonna do is just talk about stars and see how the pictures lay out. Okay? So let’s go to Genesis chapter one, 14, 15, and 16. We’re gonna do some basics. we’re talking to so many people out there right now.

that some of these things just need to be brought back to our attention. Okay? Now, some people might not even know what I’m even talking about and don’t know what the Bible says. And by faith, you’re gonna have to trust me what I’m telling you. And then if you wanted to write it down, you could go back and look in your Bible, what it says.

Okay? 66 books bound together as one called the Holy Bible. And we’re gonna be going through and see where it talks about stars. Okay? Now I’m gonna be speaking in a language that you, that are believers in Jesus Christ. And you have once given your life to the Lord Jesus Christ, and your eyes were opened.

Listen, your eyes were opened when you came to the knowledge and understanding of Jesus Christ. Okay? what came into you once you believed, what’s the first thing that came into you? Hey, Jesus is real. Jesus is alive, and Jesus is coming back. That is the revelation that comes to you. So I’m saying your eyes was open.

Now, if you’ve ever asked the Lord Jesus Christ into your life, now listen, and that experience has never happened to you, then I suggest that you go back, listen and ask the Lord Jesus Christ, you forgive you of your sins. Acknowledge that you are a sinner separated from God. Acknowledge what He did on the cross, and that you believe that within your heart, then the revelation will come.

 Now, those that did many years ago, or even as I’m speaking right now, I want you guys to understand that I’m not coming to you in a different language, okay? I’m not coming to you Christians. Speaking in Spanish and you don’t know how to understand Spanish, I’m not coming to you and speaking to you in Arabic.

That’s not what I’m doing. I’m coming to you and I’m speaking to you in the language of God, the heavenly language, and I’m gonna bring some things back to your remembrance that are written in the scriptures. Okay? So let’s go to Genesis chapter 1, 14, 15, and 16. Okay? And it says, in God said, let there be lights.

More than one. Okay, more than one in the fve ment of heaven to divide the day and the night and let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and for years. I underlined that first one right there. It says, let them be for what? So what is the stars created for? Because they’re lights.

 What are they created for? Signs. Okay, so this is what we’re gonna be looking at today in prophecy are stars as signs in prophecy. Okay, next, please. Verse 15, and let them be for lights in the firmant of heaven to give light upon the earth. And it was so. And God made two great lights.

The greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night he made the stars. Also, you see how we’re including the stars and the sun and the moon when he created. Now this is what we’re gonna do. We’re gonna come over here and this is the picture. Yes. In order as God created it.

Can’t argue with it. Sun, moon. Now you could argue about the moon. Is it a full moon or a crescent Moon? And that’s fine too, but Sun, moon, and then he made the stars. Okay. And the stars are for what? Signs. Okay. Signs for what? Okay, so obviously we’re gonna find out about one star that was assigned about the first coming.

Okay? So next, please. Now let’s talk about things that we have knowledge of in the 66 books. That if you’ve been going to church and if you’ve been reading your Bible, and if you’ve listened to even any of these prophecy preachers. These false preachers, these false teachers, okay? Now I’m not saying that they’re all started out bad.

But I’m saying that they are bad Now, and I’m gonna show you where even Balam was a good prophet and he turned to be a bad prophet. So it’s even in our scriptures that prophets can be good and then turn bad. Okay? So, and it’s a good thing that the forgiveness with the Lord Jesus Christ, because if we turn bad, all we gotta do is repent and we can return back to being a good prophet.

Okay? Now, as we’re looking at these stories, like in revelations, we’re gonna remember what the scriptures say. Remember? Okay, now in this, we’re in 2025. Okay. 2025, and this is where you’re sitting in this church, okay? Revelations is written almost 2000 years ago, people, almost 2000 years ago.

So when you remember, you gotta go to the former things. Make sense? The former things, and this is what we’re gonna do, we’re gonna remember those things that were written a four time, okay? Because they’re written for our learning that we might understand. Now if the scriptures, and I’m gonna show you in scriptures, if we’re told that the son of God was going to be born and there was a star involved about that prophecy, about his first coming, and we could all surely say amen to that, okay?

So we’re gonna be studying many stories in the Bible about stars, in Revelations it says. And there was a war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels. So you have angels against angels, don’t you? And it says, and they prevailed. Not neither was their place found anymore in heaven.

You guys see that? Okay. So what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna bring to back to our remembrance that there was a war that already happened before the heavens and the earth were created. Okay? That’s why I put this creation before time. Make sense? This war happened before the creation. Satan was already here on the earth.

When he entered into the Garden of Eden, he was already separated from heaven. He was already put here on this earth. So this war already took place before the creation. Let’s read some scripture and prevailed, not, neither was their place found anymore in heaven, and that great dragon was cast out.

That old serpant called the devil and Satan, which, deceiving the whole world. He was cast out into the earth and his angels were cast out with him. Okay, so if this is a picture of heaven, is it not? Because he said, let it be in the heavens, the sun, the moon, and the stars.

Therefore, this is a picture of heaven. Would you agree? Now they were cast out of heaven.

 They were separated. Here we go. And Tale drew the third part of the Stars of Heaven.

You guys see this? Satan drew a third part of the stars and did cast them to the earth, and the dragon stood before the woman, which was ready to be delivered for, to devour the child as soon as he was born. Speaking of Christ. Okay, now I understand this is written in Revelations, but this is a reminding, Hey, listen, a reminding, a reminding.

we think in our minds go back and we celebrate Christmas the 25th and give celebration to the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, for remembrance sake. But we don’t understand that it was such a holy and wonderful fulfillment of prophecy, it was put in the Book of Revelations, that we would not forget how important and how precious and the fulfillment of prophecy that it was.

 So when we read the scriptures, we are going to be reminded, reminded of that war that took place, that battle. So now we see that there was one third of the angels were cast outta heaven. God’s agree with that? Okay. Next, please. Now let’s go to Second Kings.

Okay, now this is where Elisha, and we learned the story several, several, several months ago. I’m gonna bring back Remembrance on a story that is in one of these 66 books, and it’s in Second Kings. And this is where Elisha went to a town and the enemies were after Elisha, because Elisha was given the information about how the king was going to try to destroy the children of Israel.

And we’re gonna jump right smack in the middle of the story. And I want you guys to see something and it says, and when the servant of the Man of God was risen early. And gone forth. Behold, the host can pass the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, alas, my master. How shall we do?

Now, this is Elisha, and this is his servant. They’re in this small town. and as he wakes up in the morning, his enemies have found the prophet. They found him, and they were going to kill that prophet. Okay?

Now his servant that was with Elisha went out and said, Elisha, look at all the horses. Look at, they’re all around the city. What’s gonna happen to us? And the next verse, please, verse 16. And he answered fear not for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.

 And Elisha prayed and said, Lord, I pray thee open his eyes that he may see what part could not he see his servant. What part could he not see? He could not see the heavenly, he could only see the earthly. And Elisha prayed that his eyes would spiritually be opened. And this is what he said.

And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man and he what? Saw And it says, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots and fire roundabout them. So what did he see when his eyes were open spiritually?

Now, what does that mean? When Elisha said there is more of us than them. Elisha put himself with those that were in heaven and he put those that were the enemy on this earth with the devil. Do you guys understand that? That’s pretty simple. Elisha spiritually put himself with heaven and he put those that were after him with the devil.

Okay, next please. Now let’s go to John. Let’s go to Jesus’s words and let’s read what needed to happen to the servant’s eyes. Elisha’s servant. What needed to be done in his eyes? They needed to be open. Now, was he spiritually blind or physically blind? See, there’s two ways that you’re gonna have to read your Bible.

You’re gonna be looking at the heavenly, and you’re gonna be looking at the earthly. that we’ll be able to divide up the two, that when we look with heavenly eyes or when we look with earthly eyes, the servant’s eyes needed to be open spiritually, not physically. Now, let’s look at what Jesus said to the children of Israel.

He says, and Jesus passed by and he saw a man which was blind from his birth. He was born physically blind. Now. How are we born in this world spiritually blind. And you must believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ and receive that sacrifice that he gave for you upon that cross. And when you believe your eyes are spiritually open.

Now, this isn’t a different language that you can’t understand. These are ABCs that are in the church, and I’m bringing back to remembrance to be able to divide up your eyes naturally from birth and spiritually being blind from your birth. and the disciples asked Jesus, saying master, who did sin?

So we always want to know who is the bad person. You are born with a defect. You’re born with a disability. You’re born, twisted and dysfunctional, and you wanna know who sinned. Whose fault was it that I’m like this? who did sin? This man or his parents, that he was born blind.

That he was born blind, whose sin caused that? And Jesus answered neither half this man sin nor his parents. See, they were already wrong on their thinking because they were wanting to cast the blame. Why? He was born physically blind. And Jesus Christ said this, but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

Why was he born blind? That the Lord was gonna show what Christ came to do in him, not outside of him. In Him says, I must work the works of him that sent me. While it is day the night cometh when no man can work. Next, please 

 Now, if you go ahead and continue to read that story, you’re gonna find out that Jesus Christ healed that blind man. Now, for what purpose? Why did he heal the blind man’s eyes? Why did he do it? It’s a representation that he was going to open their eyes spiritually within them. Make sense? That’s what needs to happen to you.

You need to confess and believe with your mouth and your eyes will be spiritually opened. that we might understand the scriptures? This is why when people, they attend church or they don’t know and someone’s pointed in the right way and they go grab their Bible and they try to do it by themselves, they try to go to here or go there.

Don’t even understand that when you’re going like this, it’s a form of witchcraft and we treat this not holy, that when we read these scriptures that we’re either gonna see heaven or we’re gonna see earth,

Which one that when you go read this word, the scripture, the holy scripture, that you’ll understand what it says. That’s where your eyes need to truly be open. See, someone could be blind right now listening to me and their eyes could be open spiritually, become born again with their eyes open, and then they can see better than most of you that are in the church that have physical eyes.

Now, let’s go back to Genesis chapter 15.

 now this is where Abraham is talking to God.I want you guys to see that the Abraham was around 2000 years before Jesus Christ came Now I want you guys to see that Abraham was visited by God, 

 Now let’s look at the conversation that God had with Abraham. It says, and behold the word of the Lord came into him saying, this shall not be thine heir, but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels, shall be thine heir.

And he brought him forth abroad and said, look, now toward heaven.God showed Abraham a vision. It’s right in there. Showed him a vision. And he must have seen a son that came out of him. and these are the words that he spoke to God after he had the vision.

And he said, how can this be? Since I don’t have anybody that has came from my loins, I’m not able to have children with Sarah. How is this vision possible that it come out of me? And this is what God spoke to Abraham. He says, now look toward heaven. Look towards heaven and tell the stars, and if thou be able to number them.

And he said unto him, so shall thy seed be. I see that. So this is why we’re studying stars. This is why we’re looking at the stars. And I want you guys to understand that this picture that Abraham had is not the same picture that we have in creation. It’s not the same picture. It’s using stars, but don’t make it the same picture.

Many examples one way. Okay? Many examples. One way. There can be many examples using stars referring to Heaven Christ, and his first coming, and his second coming, okay? But it doesn’t mean that it has to be the exact same story. There’s many stories one way. 

 I want you guys to see that Abraham seen stars and. God spoke to him and said, look now toward heaven and tell the stars and if thou be able to number them. And he said unto him, so shall thy seed be. 

 is he talking spiritually or physically? Is he talking faith or sperm? Which one is it? Because they both produce. They both produce. I wanna know, is he talking about sperm or is he talking about faith? Because you can have it both ways. One’s earthly, one’s heavenly. What vision did he see?

Did he see Jesus Christ, the son of God, or did he see Israel? 1948. One’s earthly one’s Heavenly

Genesis, chapter 22, verse 17.

 This is Abraham.

God’s still speaking to Abraham later on, and it says that in blessing, I will bless thee and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven. God just didn’t say it one time. He said it multiple times. We can’t get it wrong.

It says, I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven and as the sand, which is upon the seashore. So your stars. Now listen, look, the stars are representing heavenly and the sand of the sea would be referring to what earthly see. One’s sperm and one’s faith, one’s heavenly one’s earthly. Two different thoughts, two different thoughts.

Now, Jesus Christ come that your eyes may be open spiritually, that you may be able to see heavenly things. Not just earthly things. Let’s go to Genesis 37, 9.

All right, now we’re gonna be talking about another story concerning stars. Okay? There’s many stories concerning stars. That’s what we’re doing. We’re doing the study of stars today, and we’re gonna look at this story right here. And he says, and he dreamed yet another dream. Now this is Joseph. Okay?

Now, Abraham had Isaac and Isaac had Jacob, and Jacob had 12 sons. Now Joseph is one of the 12 sons of Jacob. And Jacob is young, and he’s special to the father. He has a coat of many colors. He is chosen and he has a dream concerning his brothers.

And we wanna read the dream because I want you guys to understand that this is in the Torah. This is in Genesis, the writings of Moses, And let’s read the story, his dream. And he dreamed yet another dream and told it his brethren and said, behold, I have dreamed to dream.

More and behold, the sun and the moon and the 11 stars made worship to me. Guys, see this now. This is why we come right here. And we made another picture. See, it’s using stars and the sun and the moon, but it’s not the same picture. It’s a different picture using the exact same things. You don’t have to make it all one picture because there’s a picture up here.

You ain’t gonna know what it’s gonna look like. I’m gonna call this the big picture because Jesus Christ talks about this big picture right here. See that it’s blank. You don’t know what it’s gonna look like, but it’s gonna be so awesome. And if you would believe on his son, you’re going to be a part of what’s never entered into any man’s mind, his heart, what the Lord has prepared for his people.

This picture right here, Jesus Christ talks about it. Now, let’s go over here to Joseph’s dream. So we might understand the interpretation because Jacob gave the interpretation of the dream. It’s right here. And he told it to his father and to his brethren, and his father rebuked him. Jacob rebuked Joseph because of the dream.

Jacob was not happy about the dream. And it says, and his father rebuked him and said unto him, what is this dream that thou hast dreamed shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves? To thee? Now in the interpretation that Jacob just gave, who’s the son? 

 The father. Who’s the moon mother? And Who’s the 11 stars Joseph’s brother. You guys see that? Jacob just gave the interpretation. That’s why he was mad. Because Joseph said all these 11 and the sun and the moon worshiped me. That means one star was set above all the rest of the stars.

Doesn’t it set above? See, that’s why I came right here and I put this star above the 11 and I put him all below because that would make Joseph higher. All would be low. Submitted unto that one star bowing down, worshiping that one star next please now. And his brother envied him and his father observed the saying, so he rebuked him, but then he actually didn’t forget it and he observed the saying, I wonder what this really means.

Now I want you to point out that his brother and what we know the story, go back and read it. His brothers hated him. All of ’em. But one. They wanted to kill him. Now, let’s read a story that’s in the New Testament, and let’s see how Jesus’ life does compare to Joseph’s Now, after these things Jesus walked in Galilee for, he would not walk in jewry

 That means where all the Jews live. He would not walk where all the Jews live because the Jews sought to kill him. See, this is where we shouldn’t be too careful to use the word Jews. Okay? Because I know sometimes we can just, like, if we refer ’em as the Jews, that’s like slamming them.

You should refer to them as Israelis. Okay? Or the children of Israel. You just can’t call ’em a bunch of Jews. John did. John did. He says, and after these things, Jesus walked into Galilee for, he would not walk in jewry because the Jews sought to kill him. Verse two. Now the Jews Feast of Tabernacle was at hand.

His brethren therefore said unto him, department and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest Now we need to ask ourselves a question. Is this physically his brothers within his own house? Or is this Jewish brothers? Because he was of the tribeJudah.

Jesus is from the tribe of Judah. Mary was from the tribe of Judah and also was his stepfather. Both of them from one tribe. Jesus Christ is considered one of the tribes of the 12. It says, for there is no man that doeth anything in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly.

If thou do these things, shall thyself to the world. Now, is this his brothers within his own house in Galilee or is it his Jewish brothers of the 12 tribes? for neither did his Brothern believe in him. it doesn’t matter if you want to take it to his household or if you want to take it to the 12 tribes.

They were definitely Jews that did not believe that Jesus Christ what he was sent for. No different from when Joseph was rejected from his own brothers. So was Jesus Christ rejected from his brothers. Next please. Then Jesus said to them. My time is not yet come, but your time is

Always ready.

The world cannot hate you but me. It hatethbecause I testify of it that the works there are of evil. So the things that are done here, now listen. Now, this is what Jesus said right here before the cross, and he testifies that the world is what? Evil. evil.

So if our eyes are only open physically that we can see the earthly things, then you’re only going to see evil. But our eyes need to be open spiritually when we believe upon his son that we might be able to see. Heavenly. We need to ask the Lord to open our eyes spiritually that we might understand the scriptures.

Obviously, someone understood the scriptures when they found Jesus in the manger in Bethlehem. Somebody got it right, they showed up at the right place at the right time, didn’t they? Somebody figured it out. Well, who figured it out?

The see Next please. Verse eight. Go ye into the feast. I go not up yet into the feast for my time is not yet full. Come. When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee. But when the brethren were gone up then went, he also up into the feast. Not openly, but as it were in secret. Then the Jews sought after him and said, where is he now?

Here is the Jews. Now. This is why you take all the children of Israel, all the Jewish people, and gather ’em all in their, wonderful feast and it says, Where is this Jesus that you’re talking about next please? And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him, which is Jesus.

For some said He is a good man, and others say nay. He deceive at the people. How are the Jews thinking towards Jesus Christ? He’s more than a good man. He was God in the flesh and he definitely is not deceiving the people. Next please. How bet, no man spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews. They were fearful of Jewish people even back then.

 Now let’s go back to numbers.

 we’re gonna jump into a middle of a story, okay? And this is where the scripture is found. Now, I want you guys to understand that this is written in the Torah. First five books of the Bible They were already bound together. 

I want you guys to know. And we’re gonna see that the Torah went into Babylon, along with the book of Jeremiah, and along with other books made it to Babylon. Okay? Now all I’m trying to do is point out a story to you, because this is where Balaam, okay?

Balaam is a prophet. Okay? Now you can go back and read this story, but I just wanna bring to your attention that this is where you get the star of Jacob, the prophecy. You can’t find it anywhere else. So let’s read it. And he has said, which heard the words of God and knew the knowledge of the most high, which saw the vision of the Almighty falling into a trance, but his eyes were open.

That’s almost like daydreaming, isn’t it? He was in a trance, but his eyes was open. Now Balam. This is when he was a good prophet. This is when his heart was towards the Lord. Now we can read in our New Testament and you can go to like the book of Peter and you’re gonna find out that he slams balam.

You’re gonna find out that there’s other disciples. They slam balam because he was a good prophet that went bad. See, when you read the scriptures and you listen to them lying preachers and they don’t know how to define truth in the scriptures, they make Lot a wicked man. And they make Balam a righteous man.

And as you read the stories, Balam went bad. He was a righteous man. Turn wicked. And Lot was always a righteous man. Don’t make much sense, does it? And I see him, but not now. This is what Balaam is prophesying his, he was in a trance. His eyes was open and he says, I shall see him, but not now. I shall behold him, but not nigh

There shall come a star out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel and shall smite the corners of MOBE and destroy all the children of Seth. What’s going to come out of Jacob? What’s gonna come out of Jacob? A star. So all we gotta do is change this star. That was Joseph. Change it to Jesus.

That’s all we gotta do next, please. Matthew chapter two, verse one.

Now, when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem. Now, Matthew has written after the cross. like I think 50 BC in that area. Okay? Now, referred to as this time that Jesus Christ was walking upon the earth.

Okay? Now, how did they know to get to Bethlehem? And how did they know that Jesus Christ was gonna be born in Bethlehem? There is fulfillment of scriptures, of prophecies that the Messiah would come, this king would come, this prince would come.

 Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judee, in the days of Herod the king, behold there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem saying, where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east and are come to worship him. this star, just magically just appeared and just one was brighter than the other and they like, I don’t know, let’s just fall a star.

Or was there scripture that they understood concerning a star? that there was going to rise a star out of Jacob? You guys see it out of Jacob. Who was Joseph’s father? Jacob. Now, who do you think Jacob’s star would be? Is it Joseph or is it Jesus? So this prophecy.

Concerning Joseph, you think physically it has to do with him ruling in Egypt. That’s earthly. That was a heavenly vision. He had that vision in heaven, not in earth. If it was about Jesus, his son in the heavens being lifted up above all the stars of heaven and the son and the moon and the stars would worship Jesus Christ.

Next please. Then Herod the king heard these things and he was troubled and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and the scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, in Bethlehem of Judea.

For thus, it is written by the prophet. Now listen, you guys see that? They had to go to holy scripture. They had to be reminded. Listen, they had to go back to holy scripture and be reminded where the king was going to be born. they wasn’t looking for it. They had to be reminded and it was in the scriptures.

Now, you might wanna ask yourself, well, why didn’t they go to Bethlehem and start looking for the king? and they said unto him, in Bethlehem of Judea. For thus, it is written by the prophet.

See, prophecy next please. And thou, Bethlehem and the land of Judah are now the least among the princesses of Judah. For out of these shall come a governor that shall rule my people Israel. Now, who is Jesus Christ gonna rule when he comes? Now, okay. Is that a earthly Israel or is that a heavenly Israel?

Which one? See, is it physical or is it spiritual?

Two thoughts, two different ways. Which way is it

then Herod when he had privately called the Wiseman, inquired of them diligently, what time the star appeared? Herod wanted to know when did the star appear? Well, I guess they just got up one day and seen the star and got together and just started falling after it. Or did they go back and understand scripture that was taught to them Well, who taught these three wise men?

Who taught these three kings that came from other far countries, Next, please. And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, go and search diligently for the young child. And when he had found them, bring me word again that I may come and worship him also. And when they had heard the king, they departed in low.

The star, which they had saw in the east, went before them. see how we’re looking for stars. Stars and prophecy right there. Now, how did Daniel understand that there was going to be a star for a sign that was gonna appear and it was going to ascend right above the child of God?

How did he know that? How did he know when that savior was gonna show up?

And when they had heard the king, they departed and lo the star, which they saw in the east went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.

So you start talking about stars, and you use that word astrology. Everybody gets a frown face. Like, Ooh, see, we’re studying about Jesus Christ. I’m not talking about the superstar. I’m talking about that one that was lifted above all stars. That one that was for a sign. That star was for a sign and that star was lifted up and shine brighter than any other star.

And we’re gonna talk about in prophecy about stars, that they lose their twinkle. We’re gonna find out that there’s stars, that they have been, they’re fallen stars. No different from Lucifer that was thrown out of the kingdom. And we’re gonna see if prophecy still doesn’t talk about stars when it comes to the second coming of Jesus Christ.

And when they were coming to the house, they saw the young child with Mary and his mother, and fell down and worshiped him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts, gold frankinsence, and mur. Next please. And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return into Herod, they departed into their own country.

Another way Nowwe’re here 2000 years ago and we just read the story of how the star, that sign led the wise men to Jesus Christ. Now we’re gonna go 538 years. before that happened, and we’re gonna see a man that was directed by an angel, a special angel.

A real angel to.

Let’s just read it. Daniel chapter nine, verse 22,

right in the middle of a conversation that the angel Gabriel is having with Daniel, he says, and he informed me and talked with me and said, oh, Daniel, I am now come forth to give these skill and understanding. What did the angel came to do? Understanding skill and understanding. In what? In what? Build a house.

Build furniture. Be like a carpenter, son. What’s he talking about? Talking about in the visions that we’re already given to Daniel before this chapter even took place. That he had visions and did not have understanding nor skill to be able to figure it out because it’s a heavenly thing, not un earthly thing.

And we’re gonna have to have heaven’s help because we can’t figure it out on our own. Because our eyes need to be spiritually open spiritually. And all you do is look at the things of this earth, then you’re not gonna be able to understand the prophecies concerning the end because your eyes are opened on earthly things and not on heavenly things 

And he informed me and talked with me and said, oh, Daniel, I am now come forth to give these skill and understanding. verse 23, and at the beginning of thy supplications, that means the prayers that when he was praying to God when he was in Babylon. That the commandment came forth that I came to show thee.

For thou art greatly, beloved, understand the matter and consider the vision. Now this is what the angel Gabriel told Daniel. I mean specifically a time chart concerning time, and it says 70 weeks already determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city to finish the transgression.

Now, let’s see if we can’t find Jesus in the words of the angel Gabriel recorded in the book of Daniel. Now it says, to finish the transgression and to make an end of sins. Now, can you see Jesus in there?

Your sin in your life can come to an end. How can your sin come to an end? By asking the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive you, and ask him to come into your heart and ask him to come into your life and ask him to open your eyes spiritually. spiritually, and he is willing to do it for you. It says, make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity.

What does iniquity mean? Iniquity means going the wrong way. Now, when we read this, I see Jesus. I see Jesus in that, we were separated from God. Well, you wasn’t even there yet. See, this is written to the Jewish people. See, when Daniel was on his knees and he was in the presence of Yahweh, he wasn’t speaking out your name, he was speaking out the children of Israel’s name.

What about your people? What about your people? What is going to be the end of your people?

And he says, reconciliation for iniquity. See, Jesus Christ came for those that were walking the wrong way, doing the wrong thing. The Lord came to take that bend out of the road that you may be able to walk a faithful walk towards him. It says, now look at this, and to bring in everlasting righteousness.

Now, who’s that? People see, we find Christ in the scriptures, in the writings of, Daniel spoken out of the mouth of the angel Gabriel.

It says, and to seal up the vision and prophecy. Now what seal up mean? What does that mean?

Now look, you put a lock on it, and you can put your wax on there and put your print on there and that is sealed and that’s bound. And the angel Gabriel said, this is what’s going to happen. After 70 weeks, this one is going to appear and this is what’s going to happen.

And for right now, it is sealed. The prophecy is sealed. Now it just happens to be you have Jesus Christ that has already been crucified on the cross, he’s already resurrected from the dead and yet there is a lamb worthy in the heavens. Listen in the heavens. And he’s able to open seals.

Seals of what? Prophecy. See, he came that your eyes might be open spiritually. This isn’t a physical book. It’s a spiritual book. It’s a book that’s written in heaven people, and you can’t see it nor understand it, nor revealed unto you if your heart is not after him and him alone.

This is how the preachers of today, their eyes have went spiritually closed. Listen, spiritually closed. Oh, but their natural eye is wide open and we see what they desire. The things of the world, they don’t desire the heavenly kingdom. They desire to bring heaven to earth.

And that’s contrary to what God said. He separated ’em on purpose. Listen, he separated ’em on purpose. He made the heavens and the earth and he separated them. Now, Jesus Christ, right here when he was on the planet, we’re gonna read his words and he talks about something that’s gonna be made new, something that’s never entered into your mind, never even entered your heart.

The things that the Lord has prepared for his people. And I wanna be a part of that. Whatever it looks to be like, I wanna be a part of it, don’t you? You can. If you believe upon his son.

Look what it says.

It says to seal up the vision. And prophecy and to anoint the most holy. Now, who do you think is the most holy? that was anointed. See, it was prophesied in the writings and Daniel 530 years knew exactly that there was gonna be a star that was going to be shining in Bethlehem, and there was gonna be a king born.

And he knew it by studying scriptures. People, oh, he had help from heaven. Don’t get me wrong. What do you think we’re reading about that skill and understanding came from heaven? It didn’t come from John Hagee it didn’t come from them jokers. It came literally from heaven. 

 This is what Daniel said. Know therefore, and understand that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem and to the Messiah, the prince, Who’s Jesus Christ? That’s why when we say He’s the prince of peace, when we say he is our messiah, 

 Just tell us plainly Jesus, are you the Messiah or not? And he says, you said outta your mouth,

it says, shall be seven weeks. Three score in two weeks, and the street shall be built again. The wall and even introublest times, yeah. What’s Israel’s trouble? What is Jacob’s trouble? Jesus Christ. 26 says, and after three score in two weeks shall Messiah be cut off and not for himself.

And everybody’s gonna agree in the church that that right there is Jesus Christ. And he died not with something that he’d done that he was guilty of, but he died an innocent man for something that you were guilty of. He gave his life for others that you might live. That’s what it says right there. And that’s Jesus.

And the people of the prince that shall come, shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.

 Now listen, in the last two weeks, what have we been studying? What have we been studying? What did Stephen preach against? What did the Apostle Paul preach against? What did Jesus Christ preach against? What did the prophets in the Old Testament, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and more, what were they preaching about?

It’s not about this place, and it is not about this people. It’s about Jesus. It’s about him and his kingdom.

See, this is 100%. Jesus Christ isn’t the antichrist. So many times we’re afraid to read revelations. You know why? Because it’s of the devil. It’s a revelation of the devil. I mean, like, you know, from chapter nine to chapter 21, that’s all in the tribulation period. That’s in seven years.

We ain’t even gonna be here, so don’t even read that. It doesn’t matter. We’ll tell you exactly how it’s gonna go down. They can’t even tell you what’s gonna go down next week, and yet they want to go into a thousand year millennial reign and they ain’t even got the temple built yet. You guys understand what I’m trying to tell you.

They’re wrong. They’re wrong and I can tell you what’s gonna happen. Just as Daniel understood that there was gonna be a star that was gonna appear, he understood by scripture using stars, the first coming of Jesus Christ, the first coming of Jesus Christ. Now, do you think there might be something talking about stars in the second coming of Christ

that so clearly? Written that we might understand that we truly are right before the second coming of Jesus Christ. Next please. Now. Throw a map up. This is the time that Israel, Judah, all of ’em went into captivity. Jerusalem is destroyed. The walls are broken down, the temple is destroyed. Hundreds of thousands have Jews have been killed.

False prophets have been destroyed. Some false prophets have been blindfolded and taken all the way to Babylon and then executed in front of them. And, and this is the time period, and I want you guys to be able to just be able to see that this is how far Nebuchadnezzar ruled in Reign in the Middle East.

And I want you guys to see just how much of it it was. And when you go read the scriptures and you find out that Daniel was the only one that could interpret the king’s dream, remember? And don’t you remember that Nebuchadnezzar declared through all the providences of his land, that the God of Daniel shall be worshiped only now.

Who do you think that was sent to? Spread that good news. That one that was going to come. Who do you think done that throughout the land? They don’t read their Bible. People. Next please.

Isaiah nine, seven says. For untoUS, a child is born and to us, a son is given and the government shall be up on his shoulder and his name shall be called Wonderful counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. You guys see that now Isaiah is written 720 years before the coming of Jesus Christ.

210 years before Daniel received, the vision from the angel Gabriel want you to know that the prophetsspoke that out of their mouths. Nowyou know. These are some things that I’ve understood for honestly over 20 some years. And when I say that 20 some years, and I say it confidently because I always remembered where, you know, you watched your programs and your favorite programs on television and you didn’t realize it 25 years ago when you looked at a bunch of Christian Zionists that were on your television set, but you just kind of knew that something wasn’t right, but you just went ahead and believed them because they’re over there and you’re not.

And they know more than you. Right. So when a Christian Zionist, would close his, program out and he would say, pray for the peace of Jerusalem. And I always had a problem with that because where do you find that is in the Psalms where David said, pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

And I already knew that they were wrong over 20 some years ago when I said, that’s not what it says. And I already knew ’cause my eyes was open, that when David said, pray for the peace of Jerusalem doesn’t mean that the Israelis that started in 1948 are not gonna have any hostels anymore round about them.

That’s not what it’s talking about. it says right there. Look, the Prince of Peace. You guys see that? The Prince of Peace. So what do you think, David, in this time period right here, what do you think when he says, 

 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. So who would you be praying for? You’d be praying for the Prince of Peace to come, wouldn’t you? What do you think that they needed in in Jerusalem? They need Jesus, don’t they? He is the prince of peace.

And when we say, I pray for the peace of Jerusalem, I pray that Jesus Christ, his second coming, that he would come because we already know that’s the only place that you’re gonna find peace. are you talking about earth? Jesus said, it’s nothing but evil and you’re fighting on the behalf of the world.

Jesus said, they hate me. The world hates me because I reveal unto you that it is evil. And now you have all these stupid preachers pointing your eyes at the world. Looking over at the temple over there and looking at the children of Israel over there, looking at Netanyahu over there. Got your eyes focused on the things of this world.

Got your eyes focused on gold and on cars and airplanes and fancy houses and clothes. They ain’t got your eyes opened up spiritually that you might be able to see the heavenly things

Next, please.

And of the increase of his government and peace, there shall be no end. You think that’s talking about 1948, the establishment of 1948, or are you talking about an establishment that was in his son? Not when he just crucified, but when he was born, he was born that way. Not you, not you.

Upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom to order it. Who’s ordering it? God the Father did. And you can’t stop it. And to establish it with judgment and with justice now you can see that that’s Jesus Christ all the way, isn’t it? 100%. And from henceforth even the zeal of the Lord of Hosts will perform it.

Next, please now gather thy selves and troops, old daughter of troops, heth laid siege against us. They shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon his cheek. See, these are all, this is Micah. Now Micah was written 700. Now listen, 700 years before Jesus Christ came 700. 700. And do you see where the prophet prophesied that they’re gonna take a rod and they’re gonna spike the cheek?

Look, spike the cheek of the judge of Israel. Now, what did they do to Jesus Christ? Did they not take a rod and smack him across the face and say, prophesied blindfolded his eyes and slapped him across his face and said, prophesied to us and tell us who hit you. This right here is fulfillment prophecy concerning his son, concerning his son.

Not concerning you. Concerning his son, it says, Beth Thou Bethlehem. Though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of these, shall he come forth unto me. That is to be a ruler in Israel. Now, which rule Israel you talking about? Which is Israel? Are you talking about? See, that’s what I’m saying.

There’s two thoughts. There’s either an earthly one or a heavenly one. Which one is your eyes opened up to? This is the condition of our church that spiritually their eyes are open physically because they can go, hi, see me here, but their eyes are closed spiritually.

They can’t see. They can’t see what God’s getting ready to do with his son. He getting ready to end up what he has been doing and he’s getting ready to start and make all things new.

This is what Jesus Christ is talking about. We’ve been hearing it since 1948 that we’re at the end. He getting ready to come. He getting ready to come. It’s 40 years, 50 years, 60 years, 70 years. He didn’t show up. We can’t say that the preacher was wrong. We just gotta say, well, the preacher was right, but his date was wrong.

He just keeps on changing dates. Why can’t we go back to the preacher and go, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Because you are wrong. Not once, not twice, not three times, four times. How many times does the preacher gotta be wrong? Look right at you and say you’re healed in Jesus’ name, and you walk away limping.

 still in the wheelchair. Well, it’s your fault. You’re not confessing it. He’s the one lying to you saying You’re healed. You’re healed. You’re healed. You’re healed. And you walk away and there’s no change. Then who’s the liar? Manipulating you spiritually seducing the people by the thousand and by the millions when Jesus Christ came to fix your walk with him.

They are crippled in their walking. They’re sickened disease within their own soul that they cannot see the heavenly. All they can see is the earthly.

Next, please.

Now I’m gonna stop.

It might be a little deep, but it ain’t too deep. I, it ain’t too deep. You come back next week and I’m gonna show you how simple it is. listen, we’re gonna look at this big picture right here that Jesus Christ talked about. Revelations, talks about it. It’s in our Bible people, the prophets for told of this right here.

And we’re gonna see exactly where we are right before the coming of a Lord Jesus Christ, because we’re gonna use his words. What’s gonna happen in the heavens? Hey, in the heavens, what’s he mean? What’s gonna happen spiritually, not physically, spiritually? What’s gonna happen before a second coming? Let’s stand.

Lord Jesus, father God, as we come before you this morning, father, we thank you that when your son comes a second time, he is not coming. As a baby, he is king, with an army, with vengeance, with fire in his eyes, coming to slay those that chose not to believe.

And Lord, I pray, father, that the fear of your holiness would come within our hearts and our minds, father, that we’d find ourselves alone getting serious with you. For all the times for told and prophesied of the days that we’re living in right now and the church can’t even see where we’re at, that I pray, Lord, father, that when we come to you and repent of our sins and we ask for your help, that we might live a life that is impossible to live by ourselves, that when you do send your Holy Spirit to give us power to live this.

Life that Father, you would open our eyes clear that we might be able to see that you truly are getting ready to come back. I pray this in your holy and precious name. Everybody said amen. Amen. God bless you guys.
