Welcome to the podcast to the Church of the Lamb of God. This is podcast one, on December 11th, 2019. This is a reboot of how I previously have done the podcasts. That's why we're starting back at podcast one. I didn't really care for the way the podcast were being done, so we're going to change things up a little bit.

Anyway the podcasts are centered completely on the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and God's ultimate designed for the human race. So in order for this to be any kind of a benefit to you it should solve some sort of a problem or help you in some way. So you may be thinking that you don't have any problems that I can solve for you or anything that's not going good for you, but the fact of the matter is... is that there's only one reason you're here on the planet, and there is a test that God has established, and most, if not all... just about all the people on the planet are failing the test. So what I can help you with is the information you need to be able to apply in your lives to be able to understand the test and then, if you desire, put forth the effort to pass the test.

So I know that they say that big claims require big evidence, so stay tuned because that's exactly what you're gonna get from these podcasts... is the big evidence. Now you're probably asking yourself, "who am I that you should believe me" or even given a consideration to what I had to say for such a complex topic... such an important topic that will ultimately affect your eternal life. So therein lies the thing don't trust me. So... but do trust in God's word when he says by their fruits you shall know them. So listen to me and then compare that to what other people will say about topics of religion and whatnot..

I'm not the author of the good words of God but I am simply the messenger. I'll help you connect the dots to see the bigger picture and point out the rotten fruit that's hanging all around you, but ultimately the responsibility rests squarely upon your shoulders to figure it out for yourself. I have no interest in you other then my obligation to God to share with you what I've learned. The other apostates and blind guides who pretend to speak for God are motivated entirely and completely to deceive you- there's something in it for them, right... and that's what you have to ask yourself, would they do this if they weren't making money, if there wasn't some sort of a gain in it for them.

Now for me, there's no gain other than my eternal reward, because it takes a lot of time and effort to study all these things out and to be able to put the podcast together and do all the technical stuff behind the scenes to get that going. And the bottom line is is I don't want your money. If you were to send me money... first of all you have no way to send it to me but if you were, I'd donate it to some charity, do something good with it... So I don't want to personally benefit from... from you for what I do in... in my love of God and doing what he requires of me and and the rest of us.

So... but don't put your trust in the arm of flesh, you've got to... you've got to test everything... you got to try everything. God says, “cursed is he that puts his arm... er, trust in the arm of flesh.” So don't do it!

He also said that, to put his kingdom first, right? Seek ye first the kingdom of God- all else should be added to you. So that's really the defining statement and you have to ask yourself, "are you willing to do that?" Because if you're willing to do that then you're going to reap the benefits of doing that.

God is a God of covenants and he's a God of making arrangements and agreements with his people- the people who love him. So if God says do this and you do it, well then there's a blessing that comes from them. If he says do this and you don't, then there's typically a cursing that comes along with that. So if he says, "put my kingdom first" and you do, you get the blessings and if you don't, you get the cursings and one of the curses... curses is you... you're not gonna figure it out and.

I'll give you a scripture here that'll explain that further. So, in order to put everything in perspective and... and to understand why this is so important there's three questions that people typically ask themselves philosophically if for no other reason, at some point in time in their life and is, "where did I come from, where... why am I here, and where am I going when I leave this planet, right? We were all somewhere before we were born we're here, we're doing our thing and when we die we're going somewhere else... So, what's it all about? Why even go through all this? Is just a big accident?

So... so there is a plan! There is a definite plan! There's a definite plan that God has created for you here on planet earth. Now the default plan- for that plan- is for you to fail. If you do nothing you will fail and that's the... that's the covenant cursing, or at least part of it. So if you if you want to not fail then you have to figure out what you've got to do, right? And so it may sound like God is not benevolent or maybe he's the the mean god... like people think that the God of the Old Testament is this horrible God because he commanded that the Israelites to go around killing everybody. But once you figure that out, you'll understand it as well but that'll be in another podcast.

But, it may sound like God's not benevolent or that he's got it out for you or he doesn't like you, whatever. It couldn't be further from the truth and once you've figured out you know all the facts it'll make perfect sense and you will... you will realize how loving God really is.

So Matthew records in his gospel- just to give you a kind of a comparison or um... help you understand this better- and he says that this is Ha'Mashiach or the Messiah speaking. He says, "not everyone that saith unto me Lord, Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven but he that DOETH the will of my father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day Lord, Lord have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name have cast out devils and in thy name have done many wonderful works. And then I will pro... profess unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me ye that work iniquity."

So even the people who are doing all these great wonderful things- these... these pastors for these megachurches and all these blind spiritual leaders, that there aren't all these heads of the churches and it doesn't matter which one, it is, they're all corrupt in some way. They're all falling short of doing God's work. So, uh, all of... all of them have no chance. I mean they're... they're called workers of iniquity and this is a King James Version. In some translations the Savior tells them, "depart from me you workers of iniquity" or "you that do evil works" or you know, bad words, whatever... because you didn't know me, right? So you didn't know me. I didn't know you. We didn't have this intimate relationship, right?

So that's the thing is you've got to figure out.. Because of all these other people who are doing all these great and wonderful things have no chance of getting in, then what does your “average Joe” have chance? ZERO! Because they haven't done anything, and so even the ones who did a great thing are not getting there because you didn't have this intimate relationship with God. So it's all about learning what it is that God wants you to do and having this intimate relationship with him.

So the most important thing that you and I can do is to learn all those things that we need to know about God, about his plan, and what the Creator's gospel is all about. If you don't understand the gospel... if you don't have a inside knowledge of the secrets of the gospel, the secrets of the kingdom, you don't stand a chance. You'll be like those guys that were just doing all these things that they thought were a great idea.

So it's important in saying all this that you have to remember that. God is the CREATOR and you are simply the CREATION. The creation CANNOT change the creator, or his words, or his plan, or anything else, in any way shape or form... The ONLY OPTION... the one and only option you have and I have as being of creation is to choose whether we will conform to God's plan or reject it! It's black and white, there is no gray area, that's it- take it or leave it! It doesn't matter about your feelings, what the societal norms are, what political correctness dictates, or anything else... those are your two choices- either you're in or you're out! You can't change anything and it doesn't matter how you feel about anything or any... the way anybody else feels about anything.

So, now the gospel is full of doctrine that reinforces this and you're probably familiar with the Savior saying that whoever didn't gather in with him automatically was scattering abroad. See, it's the... it's the one or the other- there's no middle area. You can't be walking around with a bag full of whatever it is- seeds of some variety, or running around with a sickle waiting to gather. You can't do that, because if you're not actively gathering in, then by default... it doesn't matter what you're doing, if you're not gathering in you are scattering abroad.

Even if you're doing nothing, you are scattering abroad... you're in that camp... you're in with the "scatter - abroaders," right? It also says in the gospel that if you're not with God then you automatically against him. So you don't get the... you don't get the gray area... you don't get to be the... you know, "uncommitted, I'm not really quite sure." You're either in or you're out. You're either with God and doing what he wants you to do- following his plan, learning all these things, putting his kingdom first, or you're not... that's it... there are no other choices!

So now, let's operate under the couple of basic premises here. If we look in second Thessalonians it tells us that if we are not lovers of the truth, then it will be God... specifically God, and not Satan, who will cause you to believe lies and be DAMNED! So, it's not that you're just gonna believe some lies that he's gonna be unhappy with you... it's just... it's this in or out thing... if you're not in, so, and you're not a lover the truth- because that's the requirement- then you... God's gonna cause you to believe lies so that you will be damned, so that you're out... you're not in, you're out.

So you have to be a lover the truth. If you can't accept the truth, if you're not a lover the truth, if you don't live for the truth- because God is truth- if you are not that, you're out... you're gonna believe
lies, and that would explain why so many people believe so many lies and have no interest in learning the truth... because. God has caused them to believe lies.

So again, it may sound like God's not this benevolent person... that he's mean and evil and doesn't want you to come back, BUT... there's a reason for the test! There are a reason for all the way things are set up, and we'll learn more about that as we go along. But that's what it says

So anyway the Messiah- Ha'Mashiach told his disciples towards the end of his ministry that in the end times, which is our day, that the deception would be so good... so nearly perfect, that if it was possible- and it doesn't say whether it is or not- but it if it were possible, it would deceive even the VERY ELECT... Now you think, who's the elect, right... and then you think, okay if that group who is the few that are the very elect, right... and so if it's possible that it'll deceive even them... even they will be fooled. So your “average Joe" again doesn't have a chance.

The... the people who are like the... the theologians and the, you know, the Pope and prophet of the Mormon Church, and the all the different religious leaders who believe they've got it figured out... chances are they are- well I guarantee you they are- they are.. they are deceived, they are the blind leaders who will lead you astray. But the most of the other people who are trying to help you out... they don't have it figured out either. So pretty much everybody's deceived.

So, and again we have more evidence of that... you know, straight is the path and narrow is the gate... FEW there be that find it. It's all small numbers... parable of the ten virgins, okay... so what happened, there there was only one bride and so people think okay, well I'm part of the bride of... of, you know, Ha'Mashiach... I'm part of the Bride of Christ, I belong to the church. That's not true! You're not, because the ten virgins... they were the ones, half of them were prepared, the other half weren't, but even the ones that were prepared were not allowed to go with the bride, right" They were NOT the bride. They were just there, right?

So we'll find out more about that too- there's like different... different degrees, varying degrees of... of resurrection of where you get to go and only the bride gets to go with God. Only the bride gets to be there in the... in the bride chamber, right? Everybody else whether it's the five wise or five foolish, the other people on the road, the other people in town, the bride and groom's relatives, people on the street, all those people were not allowed in. It was the one... the one... the one bride, right? So it's about small numbers, okay?

So unfortunately, most Christians believe that some point in time in the future the "Antichrist" (which is another misnomer), is going to come on the scene and when he comes on the scene there's gonna be this great change throughout the world, upheaval, there's gonna be a new world order, worldwide government, there's gonna be a one world leader, there's gonna be a one world religion, and all these things are gonna happen, which is gonna bring about all this deception.

Honestly, who, who can legitimately, I mean that's how... that has to be something that you were... that you were fed, you were conditioned to believe, because honestly, if you were just dropped onto the planet and you were an adult you came from somewhere where you... where you had to think for yourself and you got dropped onto this planet, do you think to yourself, that's the most idiotic, asinine thing I've ever heard of?!

How can you all of a sudden, somebody comes on and does all these, all these things right in front of your eyes and that's all supposed to deceive you?! Honestly, children would see through that, right?! That's like, oh yeah there's all these things happening now, you know, so Christians believe people who, you know, live in the world, believe that when this does happen- IF, you know, so many people don't believe in end-time prophecy that... that when this happens, and if it happens, and they're gonna... they're gonna SEE RIGHT THROUGH IT... "oh yeah there's the NewWorld Order religion and government, and leaders, and all the stuff, and they're oppressing me. Those... that's deception... I'm gonna... I'm gonna resist that. They're gonna want to, they're gonna want to tattoo my head or put a chip in my hand and I'm not gonna do that by golly."

That's not deception! The deception is... is that you've been deceived into believing that that's what the deception is, so when the real deception comes along you're still looking for the tattoo on your forehead or the chip in your hand. So it's not something future, it's already here. The world has been built up around you, as the deception. If you've never seen the movie The Truman Show you've got to watch it, because Truman, the main character was born into this Hollywood set basically, which was a small town... and everybody in there was an actor or actress, and so everybody was in on the gig but him and he grew up believing that this was the real world, and everything, and at the end he, you know... he figures it out, but this is like a perfect metaphor for what's going on in the world that you believe is the world, is not!

Everything is a bunch of lies and deceptions from religion to health to medicine - science - whatever, fill in the blank. It's all built up to deceive you, and it's all part of the plan. Satan's part of God's plan, and what he does, is still part of the plan.

You know, God told Nebuchadnezzar when he was interpreting his... his dream that uh... don't get full of yourself because it's actually God who sets up kingdoms for his own purposes. So all the great kingdoms throughout all of history and up till the modern time, the end times when all these things happen, is part of the deal- it's part of the test, right? The problem is is that nobody gets it, nobody understands it as part of the test, and so, you know, all the things that are going on in politics and, you know, different things, in the world, and fake science, and global warming, and all these other things, that are going on are just distractions they're trying to get you caught up... get you caught up in those things so that you don't do the things that are important.

Technology is another part of. Satan's plan, which I'll get into more detail, but it's a distraction to keep you away from what you should be doing. God says seek my kingdom first... well I'll guarantee you right now just about everybody on the planets got their nose buried in some sort of technology and entertainment about a hundred to one or more if not completely devoted to that then devoted to seeking. God's kingdom, right?

So there you go, it's not... it's not a big mystery why the world is deceived, it's not a big mystery why all the Christians mistakenly believe that there are shoe-in, right?! So anyway as far as this deception goes when we think about, you know, your... your religious leaders... your... and I'm gonna call them the blind guides, because that's what they are. So let's just... let me give you an example that'll... that'll clarify this a little bit. Back when Maschiach-. Ha'Mashiach- was on the planet, the Savior, he told his disciples because they asked him, "why do you keep talking in parables," right?

Parables were a common teaching method of the Jews, so the Jews understood but... but he was teaching in mixed crowds and he told them, he said my... my ministry is to come to the Jews, the house of Israel and not the Gentiles. So they said, well why do you keep talking in parables? He said because it's given to you to know but not them.

So, in other words, his words to those who were the believers and followers would enrich them, they would teach them further truths and understanding, and those who were against him like the Pharisees and the Sadducees and scribes and his detractors, it was like he was calling them out and he was condemning them.. And he was telling them the truth and ultimately that's that's why they crucified him is because he was speaking the truth- he was speaking out truth against their oral traditions. Because that's what they had lapsed into is all these oral traditions, and they weren't keeping the gospel. Because he kept the gospel that's what he kept telling them. He said, I'm fulfilling the gospel, I'm fulfilling the law of Moses... but this is what you're doing, you've missed the point... you're not doing this... what you're teaching is... is gonna keep not only you, but everybody else OUT of the kingdom.

So, so he spoke in parables for those two purposes- to edify those who understood, who... well all the Jews should have understood it, but it was to edify the followers and the believers, and to teach them more doctrine... and at the same time to call out and condemn those who were his detractors. Okay, so... so now that the people that were non-jews... the Gentiles- would hear the story and it would just be an interesting story usually with some sort of a moral lesson to be learned, but they would never understand what he was really saying to the Jewish people, right?

So anyway, we have the same problem today... we have we have all the leaders today, all the theologians, all the Bible experts, all the religious experts, all the educators, and professors, and leaders, and the Pope, and the Prophet, and all these other people who lead all the different churches, and organizations, and groups, etc... they don't understand the parables any more than the Gentiles of old.

So a good example of that is the parable of the Good Samaritan.. So in this parable the... there's a lawyer who... who is trying to trip up the Savior and he asked him he says well who's my neighbor, right? I'm gonna kind of go forward... I'm not gonna go through the whole thing... but he wants to know who's his neighbor, and that's what starts the parable, okay?

The lawyer wanted to confound him and so he asks him... now let me back up for a second... is that before I touch on the actual details of the parable, is that there are at least three levels of understanding in this particular parable and none of them have anything to do with everybody on the planet, which is, if I asked anybody on the planet who's your neighbor according to the Gospel, according to Christianity, they'd say, well everyone. What about the guy across the street, my neighbor over there? Yep. What about this person in the grocery store? Yep. What about that person on the highway? Yep. What about that person that I saw at the stock-car races, or at the carnival, or that was on the cruise ship with me, or whatever... you'll fill in the blank... what about the bad guys? Yep, all my neighbors, right?

Well, that's not true... is that the... the Savior... the parable of the Good Samaritan has nothing to do with a single person, okay. There's three different levels of understanding and so that you've got the lawyer who's trying to trip him up and he says you know who's my neighbor well he could just simply said hey it's this guy or that guy or giving him a clean definition... clear definition, which he did in a lot of cases.

But he told the parable so that he could intentionally teach his disciples and at the same time call out the... the Jews who were his detractors. And... now I'm not going to tell you who the neighbor is in this particular podcast- you'll have to come back for that. But, he's calling them out because they... he's basically telling them, hey the guy... the person who you're asking about, the person that's you neighbor isn't what you want to believe, it's not what you want to hear, but it is nonetheless the way it is, and it's something that we need to understand that.

So, so he told the story... told a parable, and you know, the Gentiles- they heard an interesting story and caused them to believe that everybody is my neighbor, everybody on the planet. And so that's what we believe today, so... so, and this is... this is not just an isolated incident on the parable of the Good Samaritan, it's... it's just about everything in the gospel, everything in the scriptures- there's a underlying level, or two, or three, or more of understanding- of what the mysteries of God are, an what he's trying to tell you.

You know, in Genesis he says that he's already... he's already preached his gospel to the world because his gospel is in the stars in the heaven, is that the... the various combination of the stars and times and seasons and everything like that, if you understand that then you understand a great deal of the gospel. but how many people understand that If you were to say to people hey, you know, figure it out from the stars, they'd look at you like the deer in the headlights.

So that's the way it is and... and everything that God does is, there's the surface level understanding, then there's the deeper level understanding, and so it doesn't matter what you're talking about. So everything in the gospel prefigures in some way prefigures or is a type or a shadow of the Messiah's plan and purpose.. So it's not it's not by accident at all that there are all these mysteries and underlying meanings and stuff like that.

But the problem is... is that nobody understands it so all these... all these blind leaders are basically regurgitating the same thing that the Gentiles at the time of Ha'Mashiach would have gotten out of it. They don't understand it any... any deeper, they don't understand any of the... any of the metaphorical values of it, you know, so it doesn't matter what you read they're all going to get the same thing.

Well, like for example the... the parable of the Good Samaritan. the first couple of chapters of Genesis the... you know, the second chapter, the third... so it doesn't matter what it is, you know, they believe like... for example the parable [Prodigal] son the parable [Prodigal] son isn't as most people believe, like well, if you teach the gospel to your children they may go astray and go the way of the world but eventually they will come back one day. No, that's not it. That's the surface story. The deeper story has to do with something entirely different. It has to do with God's purpose and plan.. It has to do with the mission of Ha'Mashiach. It's not about the surface story, it's nothing like that at all. So people don't get it, you know.

The first chapter in Genesis, the first couple of paragraphs there are TWO different creation stories and then in the middle of all that God talks about this gold and some other things... and the gold is really good gold. Why is that there? Why do we have that stuff there? Why is all these things... are all these things going on and people just pass it up, right. There's... uh... Genesis talks about giants and then we have people that are like, well that God of the Old Testament was a mean bugger because he killed everybody. Well, yeah, but there's a reason for that, right?

So that's the thing, is that if you... if you want to figure out what the plan is, you don't want to be deceived, then you've got to put forth the effort, you've got to figure it out, you've got to get away from all the blind guides and figure it out for yourself. Don't put your trust in the arm of flesh. The only person who's gonna help you figure it out for you is you.

And you've got to have that relationship so that you can know the gods so you can know the Father in the sense you can have this relationship with them that they know you, right. You know, they know everything about you.. They know- you they created you. But you know squat about them because as an example you know nothing about the parable of the Good Samaritan or anything else I've mentioned here just briefly.

So you've got to be willing to seek God's kingdom first and put forth the effort and it's not just gonna be simply by having faith in someone, you know, because it's... it requires a lot more than faith, it requires a lot more than following somebody. Because those people that Ha'Mashiach denied entry into the kingdom, they all had faith- they did all these great wonderful things because that was their argument- "hey didn't we do all these things in your name," right. So, and they didn't, so therefore they're denied, so a lot of people simply want to choose the path of least resistance, they simply want to do what is most convenient for them.

And a lot of people don't want to know the truth because it creates cognitive dissonance, and then they have to deal with all these other issues. And they they'd much rather just follow somebody and and hope like crazy that that person is going to somehow get them into heaven. And it's not going to
happen. I mean if you had a thorough knowledge of the gospel, all those ideas like that are completely bad over, and over, and over again, and refuted.

So yeah, maybe if you cherry picked one scripture here and one scripture there you might be able to come up with some kind of a "lame-o" theory, but in practice once you know the gospel... once you understand the... the secrets and the mysteries. I know, then, you know, that that's not the way it is. So you've got to do this on your own, you've got to do this for yourself. Seek God's kingdom first and do what you've got to do.

So if you're... if you're not interested in being a lover of the truth, if you're not a lover of the truth, if you're not interested in seeking God's kingdom first, if you're not ready for having to have your mind blown with some of the things that we're going to talk about, if you're not ready to learn those mysteries, if your mind is not prepared, if your spirit's not prepared, if you're not prepared to do what it takes and spend some time on your knees and doing a lot of research and study then this probably isn't the podcast for you and you probably should end here.

But if you really do want to know things and you want to figure what the truth is that will help you make sense of the world, then you need to keep coming back, because I'll tell you, if I didn't have a thorough understanding of these things I would be completely at odds with the world because you look at what's going on in the world right now and none of it makes sense.

People... I hear people saying all the time how can these people i.e. the world leaders and the people that are in charge of things that matter- doctors, lawyers, politicians, whoever, what are they thinking or how could they be so stupid? Yeah, yeah, anybody could figure that out... they have no common sense... I can't believe we keep it re-electing them, I can't believe that we keep supporting them, or whatever it happens to be.

Well duh... it's because you don't understand why they're doing it. There's for a reason, there's a specific purpose why things are going on the world the way they are, and once you learn the truth and it makes perfect sense, then you understand completely... then you don't have to try to listen to that all the talking heads that are trying to spin everything- all the... all the current events, and try to put it in perspective, and "oh the blood moons are coming, all this is coming, or all that's coming."

You know what, they come and go and nothing ever changes. But if you understand the gospel, and the truth, and the underlying mysteries, and secrets, well then you don't have to rely upon somebody else and what they think and what their perspective is and what science has to say and what the, you know, this moon and that moon are all about, because you'll understand it yourself and you'll understand how all these things fit together. Whether it's the gospel, whether it's the the Sun, the moon, and the stars, and all the times and the seasons and stuff like that and you'll... you'll be able to figure it all out for yourself.

So anyway I hope that created a lot of confusion in your mind and... and more questions than I answered because then you've got to come back and and let me explain everything to you, because it's a very complicated situation. And again, if you're deceived you'll never figure it out.

So if you want to figure it out, well come back on and I'll connect the dots for you, point you in the right direction that's between you and God and then the two of you have to figure it out and I'm just the middleman... I'm just the one that's delivering the message and pointing... pointing things out, and connecting the dots. So I hope you'll come back. I hope you share this with your family and friends.

Chances are good, most people will will reject it and you know we already know that that's endtime prophecy. God said that, Ha'Mashiach said that," you know what... the world will hate you for it right but just remember that before the world hated you they hated me.". That's what he said, so before the world do, you know, speak could speak the truth to what you're supposed to do and you know keep the... keep the covenants and then you get those covenant blessings. And if not, well sorry for you- you get the Covenant curses! So anyway, hope to see you back soon and thanks for listening.
