And we left off talking about the work of angels. So just a quick recap. As you get settled in, I don't have any specific place I have you turn quite yet. But what we looked at so far is angels were created by God. This is what the Bible says, not what somebody teaches. Angels are spirit beings. Angels can interlock prisons. They can open prison doors. They can ascend in a flame. Angels can travel great distances very quickly. Angels are wiser than men and very strong. Angels in the Bible appear as 33-year-old young men, and we went through that whole thing about the age of Christ. Angels are never sexless. If you have a female angel, you know, in a picture or something like that, you more or less have a demon. Angels are an appearance. They're not a messenger. For some angels, they don't deliver any message at all. And we're going to get into more about that appearance here today. Of course, angels are immortal. There's various ranks and orders of angels. We looked at that, about four different verses about those. Of course, angels are innumerable. The Bible says in Hebrews, we're talking about Paul, says an innumerable company of angels. The present abode of angels is in heaven, and angels are holy, sinless, and pure. The Bible speaks of the devil and his angels, so that's the antithesis of the holy and sinless ones. So the devil has angels. And today we're picked back up on the work of angels. And what we said so far, we got through about half of it. We said in Revelation chapter 5, the job of the angels is to honor and worship and serve the Lord. Serve the Lord. and represent God. We said in Matthew chapter 18, it's like we said over here, being an appearance that the job of the angel is actually to portray or represent things down here. We said in Revelation chapter 2 and 3 that the Lord has a way of picking up the corporate image of anything on this earth, including nations, like you read about in Daniel with the Prince of Persia, and of course, Michael being the angel for the people of Israel, as well as picking up the image of local assemblies. Every one of those seven churches in Revelation 2 and 3 has an angel connected with it. Now on the earth, On the earth, we talked about angels, they run errands for the Lord. Some of them run errands for the Lord. If you remember in Genesis 21, they showed Hagar a fountain. Hagar was, all the water in the bottle was spent, and she's put the child over away there, and she's like, okay, I'm gonna die, so let me die, and the angel showed her a fountain. In Joshua 5, you'll remember when they were about ready to go to battle, an angel appears with a sworn drawn. Of course, in Acts chapter 5, we talked about that already, they release the chains from Peter. And, of course, we already mentioned this, the work of the angel in Acts chapter 12 as they open prison doors. If you remember, it was the angel of the Lord in the wilderness that fed, strengthened, and defended God's children all the way through the wilderness there. Of course, you remember Balaam. It was an angel that exercised God's judgment and Numbers 22, and there was an angel in the Bible in Acts chapter 12, and that angel killed Herod. People got there, the big old assembly, and the people said, it is a God. And Herod took the honor instead of giving the glory to God, and the angel struck him and he died. He died. And look at Matthew chapter 13. I think this is what we ended on. Matthew chapter 13, verse number 41. We'll look at this one more time and segue right back to where we need to be today. Now hopefully this is just a good study just to clear up any misnomers or any questions you got about angels. is obviously not exhaustive, but I think it's exhaustive enough to give the Word of God credence here. 1341, the Bible said, The Son of Man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend and them which do iniquity. So, those angels, they gather up the tares. Remember the parable of the wheat and the tares. and they gather up the tares in the ecumenical world council. Now look at Zephaniah 3.8. Last verse we'll look at on this. And I believe you understand this maybe a little bit better now. Zephaniah 3.8. This is what the Lord is determined to do. I guess Zephaniah's not in my Bible. You ever look for something and you're like, man, I'm finding it. I'll kid you, I know why people go to eBibles and all that. I'm not gonna, but I know why people do it. There you go. Zephaniah chapter 3 verse 8. The Bible says, Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey. Second Advent, right? Okay. Now he tells you his determination. For my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even on my fierce anger, for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy. So the angels have a part in gathering the tares. there, and I'm just showing you the Lord's determination. So as we go towards the rapture, you need to understand this, unless we're to live in a big city, what you see in the church house today is probably going to be what we have until the Lord comes home. Now, if you're not a Bible-believing church, if you're just a fundamental church, okay, stay with me for a second, you could probably do a better job filling stuff up. And then you get a couple millionaires in your back pocket. You get some bus routes and you get some ministries that bring in a bunch of people. They really don't want to be there in the first place. But anyways, their motto is one soul is worth it all. I'm not so sure about that. But for Bible believing people, you're looking probably at the majority of congregations and churches. across the old fruited plain. And as our numbers dwindle, and they will dwindle until the Lord comes back, we're in the period what you would call the gleanings here, you're going to see all these other churches sprout up and they're going to get bigger and bigger. Now I understand the Lord's put his hand on a couple of other works and that's good. That's a blessing. We're not saying if you have a big church, we're just saying we're out here in the country is where we're at. And this is a good representation, not only of the people in this community, but the culture, which means you're not swinging from the fans. You're not jumping out the windows. Amen. And I haven't seen anybody run the bases. I'm not asking them to. Be careful. The sides are pretty tight. You might break a hip. But I believe this is probably what you and I will see. And so you have to encourage yourself in the Lord. If this church didn't have so many pews, it'd look more full. But this church was built when people were still going to church. And they could put 180 in here. But the Lord's determination is to gather those people that don't want anything to do with him and his word, and then burn them up. So as we go towards the rapture, you know what you're going to see? You're going to see the coffee bar and coffee barista churches in town, and they're going to keep ramping things up. And you're going to see the numbers increase. Don't let it bug you. Here's the thing. The old preacher told me this. If you've got to get them in with coffee, you'll have to keep giving them coffee or they'll leave. If you've got to get them in with children's ministries, the minute you stop it, they're done. So we have tried, I think that's the right, that's the biblical word, tried to focus and major on preaching. That doesn't mean we don't do anything else. I'm just saying that's why we're here. We're here to feed sheep and we're here to grow spiritually and ask the Lord what we can do for him. So I just want you to see that the determination of the Lord is to get everyone together. You see that? And he's getting everyone together and you can see it in this community. So that's part of the angel's job as well. Now angels are also here to guide believers under their work. Guide believers. You remember in Acts chapter 8 verse 26, an angel guided Philip to meet the Ethiopian eunuch. That's Acts chapter 8. He guided Philip to meet the Ethiopian eunuch. Now we talked about it in 1 Kings 19, but while angels are here on the earth, they're here to assist, protect, and strengthen saints like they did Elijah. in 1 Kings chapter 19. Now you remember, look at Daniel chapter 6. I'll show you this one, a well-known story in the Bible. Now angels help Daniel in Daniel 6.22. Of course, this is Daniel in the lion's den here, 6.22. The Bible says this, My God has sent his angel and has shut the lion's mouth. And I'm pretty sure he was thankful for that. You know, but he helped Daniel. And of course, in Matthew Chapter 4, we'll look at that real quick here. Matthew Chapter 4. You're like, I ain't got to Daniel 6 yet. That's all right. Just mark it down. We'll go on. Matthew Chapter 4, Verse 11. When the Lord was out in the wilderness, a great temptation, which the Roman Catholic Church and all the churches that follow the National Council of Churches, they call this period of time Lent. which it's not, only Lent that I know of is probably in my belly button. But Matthew chapter 4, oh, that's Lent, Lent, right. 411, after that temptation was over, the Bible says, the den the devil leaveth him and behold, angels came and ministered unto him. So angels ministered unto the Lord after the great temptation. You say, what did they have to minister? Well, he went 40 days without food and water. I don't know how he did it. I don't know how Moses did it. I don't know how Elijah did it. But you'll need some ministering after 40 days like that. Amen. So they helped him out there. And of course look back to Luke chapter 20 or look over to Luke 22. We see angels again ministering to the Lord. Luke chapter 22 verse 43. Luke 22 43. Now after he was in the garden, sweating as it were, great drops of blood, the Bible says. Verse 43, And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. Now he's still all man and all God, so the strengthening part is going to be strengthening Jesus the man. Amen? For Jesus, the part of the Trinity, or Jesus Christ, doesn't need any strength. So that, obviously, he's talking about Jesus the man strengthening him there. Now what else do, well that's pretty comprehensive for the work of angels. There are some more, but we'll stop there. We'll go to number 18 here. Angels will accompany our Lord when He returns. I know you got the paper in front of you. Hopefully that's a help to you. Angels will accompany the Lord at His return. Now a couple passages of Scripture, we'll look at two of them and move on. Look at Matthew 25. Matthew 25.31. 25.31. All right, the Bible says, When the Son of Man shall come in His glory, the second advent, and all the holy angels with Him. Ain't that something? If that's an innumerable company of angels, that's pretty wild. It's not just the Lord coming back, but that's a bunch of folk coming back. All right, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory there. Look at one more, 2 Thessalonians, chapter 1. Angels are going to accompany the Lord at His return. 2 Thessalonians. I don't know, as a Bible believer, if you happen to ever catch something on television and it's not biblical, not only do I scoff at it, but it irritates me. Why? It just bugs me. It does. I don't know if it bugs you or not. Should it bug me? I don't know. It bugs me. If it bugs you, don't bother me a bit. But look at number seven. He says to the Thessalonians, And to you who are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels. You see it? There it is. All right. In the mouth of two or three witnesses, let every word be established, the Bible says. All right. Number 19. Angels are said to take saints Take saints to heaven at death. Look at Luke 16. That's the only one we'll give you on this one. Angels take saints to heaven at death. Go on down to Luke chapter 16 verse 22. Now you see that there and you'll notice in the Chick tracts that we have back there, Jack Chick always put that representation of an angel carrying you out of the grave, whether or not it's completely true or not, but it's always nice to see that in the Chick tracts that he has, the angels carries the individual after death and takes them either to heaven or to the judgment So verse 22 came to pass that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. Rich man also died and was buried. Let's move on to number 20. The angels had a part also in giving the law by appearances. They had a part in giving the law by appearances. Look at Galatians chapter, I believe that's found in Galatians 3, 13 is it? Galatians 3, 319, there you go, 319. Galatians chapter 319. All right. Bible says for I, nope, that's chapter two. Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions. You see that? That's why the law. I mean they've been living in Egypt for what? 430 years? Was it 430 or 480? 430? I think it was 430. Can you imagine being in Egypt for 430 years? No church. No preaching. You'd all be a bunch of heathens is what you would be. I mean you'd look like Egyptians wouldn't you? I mean, 430 years, how many generations you get out of that? 430 years take us back to the 1600s. That's how much things have changed. It was added because of transgression. Till the seed should come to whom the promise was made. Here it is. And it was ordained. Ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Haven't you always thought about that verse? And so that's kind of interesting. Why would you have to ordain it by angels, right? That word ordain, it just means appointed, instituted, established, or settled. And so this one's probably going to be more like appointed. Look at Acts chapter 7. Try to shed more light on it. Acts chapter 7, verse 30. And then we'll go back to Exodus and see if we can plug this verse in and help us understand it. Scripture with Scripture. Acts chapter 7, look at verse 30. Here's Stephen, he's preaching up a storm here, and he's about ready to get it knocked out, like lights out, because they hate preaching. All religious people hate preaching. Amen? They do. Now you don't, because you're a Bible believer. Acts 7 30 Bible says, And when forty years were expired, he's given him a history lesson. There appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai. What is it? An angel of the Lord in a flame of fire. Where? In a bush. So you see, that angel was in that bush and he's the one that appointed. Now, what about this mediator thing? The Bible says in Galatians 3 19. It was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Isn't that interesting? Well, who in the world would have to mediate the law? Well, it'd have to be Moses. You remember when the Lord was dealing with Abraham? Put your thinking cap on for a second. You realize the Lord dealt with Abraham one-on-one? He dealt with him personally. That's how he does with you and I. So we actually have a better relationship with the Lord than he does Israel, his own people. Because the Lord didn't deal directly with Israel. He dealt with Israel indirectly through Moses. So Moses would have been that mediator. That angel was in that bush there. So that's to me, that's kind of what unplugs Galatians 3.19, ordained by angels. That's the angel of the Lord in the hand of a mediator, which would be Moses. So I got looking at that and I said, Lord, I don't have any idea what that's talking about. And he's like, well, there's some information you need to read on it. So keep going. Look at Exodus 32, Exodus 32, verse 15 and 16. You remember when Moses went up there, up the mountain there, and he came down and his face shone, and it was all bright white and that, and he had to put a veil over his face there? Remember reading through your Bible on that thing there? And the mountain was quaking, and the mountain was smoking, and thundering, and it was just flipping everybody out is what it was doing. You know what those Israelites said? We want you to talk to us, Moses. We don't want the Lord to talk to us. Remember that? And that's the Lord dealt with Israel indirectly. All right, 32, 15, and 16. The Bible here says, "...and Moses turned and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand. The tables were written on both their sides, and on the one side and on the other were they written." and the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the table. So there's the law. Moses is going to be the mediator, and the angels that ordained it, appointed it, settled it, that had been the angel of the Lord in the bush there. However, stop and think about this. Angels are not only spiritual beings, right? There's a great superior of angels over men lies in the fact that angels were both created perfect. They were. Just like Adam and Eve, they were created perfect. Angels being spirit beings and Adam and Eve being fleshly beings. So they were created perfect. But in many ways, in some ways rather, men are superior to angels. You say, how so? How could that even be? Well, stop and think about it. In this dispensation, angels are not allowed to preach the gospel. You know what I do every week or try to do every week and what some of you try to do at work and people that you care about and want to see him say you preach the gospel to him don't you give him tracks and you talk to family that's lost. Angels can't do what you do. Isn't that wild. So on that way a man men are superior to angels in this dispensation. Look at Galatians chapter 1 Galatians chapter 1. Now in the tribulation period there'll be a mighty angel that's preaching the everlasting gospel, but then salvation changes in that dispensation. It goes from by grace through faith to faith and works. And that's the soteriological change when the dispensation and the church is out of here. Alright, Galatians chapter 1 verse 8. Bible says here, But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which ye have preached unto you, let him be welcomed into the church, and name him a new religion. Ask Joseph Smith. He got his revelation from a 600-wing angel. I like what Dr. Uckman says. He says a 600-wing jackass. Amen. But I mean, who in their right mind? And interesting enough, the Mormons, you know what their second best book is? King James Bible. They got the Book of Mormon and then they're staunchly for the KJV. Isn't that wild? That's Mormons. And that's right in there. Well, your whole religion is based around anathema, being accursed. Some other angel giving you specific revelations on these golden tablets. All right, now, the ministry of preaching the gospel has been given to you and I, amen, as Christians. And like we said, it's true that an angel does show up in the Great Tribulation preaching an everlasting gospel. But if an angel shows up preaching an everlasting gospel in this dispensation, that Bible says he's accursed. And I remember when family and I were doing some traveling there a number of years back, about 18 years back or so, 15 years back, maybe, I don't know. We had this meeting down in Dearborn and they did what they thought was preaching. I don't remember what they preached, but people were hooting and hollering and shouting and all that stuff. And then after the preaching, they decided to pass the microphone. That's dangerous. We will not pass the microphone in church. Amen. I have no idea what some of you all are going to say. And so, you know, we had some, you know, and people kept going to the altar and people were getting saved again. And people were getting saved, you know what I'm saying? And all of a sudden, this one guy, I'm sure my wife remembers, they give this microphone to this one guy. He stands up and he looks around. I'm like, oh boy. He goes, in 1848, in a barn, there was an angel. Jack Patterson's up on the stage going, shut him up, shut him up. Isn't it funny, these charismatics and charismaniacs, the first thing you want to talk about is an encounter with an angel. Angel ain't going to show up to you unless it's a demon. But though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than which we have preached, let him be accursed. Isn't that something? If anybody told you there's any way to get saved in this dispensation except by the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, that man was cursed of God right there in 189. You see that? The gospel that Paul delivered unto us is in 1 Corinthians 15, 1-4. That's the death, the burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Isn't that interesting? The gospel and salvation has nothing to do with sacraments. Sacraments. Nothing to do with the golden rule. Remember that? Oh, the golden rule, you know? Living a good life. Living a good life. Live your best life now. Okay. If this is the best life now, good night. Forget it. Salvation has nothing to do with water baptism. You know that. It has nothing to do with church ordinances, whether or not you took communion or whether or not you were baptized. Salvation has nothing to do with enduring to the end. Let me tell you what, some of you are not going to endure to the end. Okay? You're not going to do it. And it certainly has nothing to do with making the world a better place. It's interesting, these crazy rock stars and country stars and hip-hop stars, every once in a while, every 20 or so years, they all get together and they sing a song together about making the world a better place. I'm like, what a stinking joke. Every so often, every about 20 years, you'll see them all get together, big conglomeration get up there and, you know, I think Michael Jackson did one, but anyways, we saw what happened to him, so. And all those gospels according to the King James Bible that I just mentioned, like sacraments and the golden rule, living a good life, that's good news, but it ain't gonna get you to heaven. That stuff's a curse. All right, number 21. One day, you know it, we will judge angels. That's 2 Corinthians chapter 6. One day we will judge angels. What a crazy thought, Christian. knowing the scope and strength and veracity and ability of these spiritual beings to think that God will allow you and I to judge angels one day. That's hard to understand. I'm sorry, 1 Corinthians 6 verse 3. He says, Know ye not that we shall judge angels? 1 Corinthians 6 verse 3. Now this is undoubtedly, this is undoubtedly a reference to judging the fallen angels in Judges, Judges, Jude, Jude 6, Jude chapter 1 verse 6. And in Jude it talks about the angels that fell, angels that fell. And you and I are one day going to judge these angels. Chapter 1, verse 6, And the angels, which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness, under the judgment of the great day. Now those angels must have fallen when Lucifer fell. No doubt about it. When Lucifer fell and got booted from the third heaven to the second heaven, then those angels, they left their own habitation and they were able to come down to this earth. and cohabitate with women. You read about that in Genesis chapter 6. You also read about it in Judges chapter 1 verse chapters 1 and 2 in the book of Job. Now this great honor is indeed a glorious yet humbling thought for you and I. Of course there's going to be more angels that fall and you read about that in Revelation chapter 12. It says a third of them are going to fall. A third of them will fall. But the thought that's humbling to me is though you and I, we fall into sin, God's going to raise us up higher than the angels in Jesus Christ. And we'll be blood-bought. We'll be redeemed beings. At that point in time, we'll be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. We'll be an exact replica of a 33-year-old male, sinless, perfect, holy. We'll never be able to fall again. To me, that's a blessing right there, because don't you have to check everything you do? Don't you have to check every thought? You should. Aren't you supposed to bring it under captivity, right? And one day, he's going to let her loose, and you have to worry about sin at all. So we'll sit in judgment of angels, those spirit beings who were rebellious and turned against God. Now this judgment is mentioned in Revelation 20, where the sea give up the dead. The sea give up the dead. And that's enough on that one. We could go deeper, but we're not gonna. Well, let me give you number 22. As wonderful as angels are, we must never worship them. We must never worship angels. And Paul addresses it. Christian, if you worship an angel, you're going to lose your rewards. Look at Revelation 22, 8 and 9. We'll show you John here, what he tries to do and is corrected on it. Revelation 22, 8 and 9. John tries, he attempts to worship an angel. And I think it's probably out of a deep respect and reverence. I don't think he's trying to be a heretic. The Lord's given him the book of Revelation. Revelation 22, 8. The Bible says, And I, John, saw these things and heard them. And when I heard and seen, I fell on to worship before the feet of the angel, which showed me these things. 9. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not, for I am thy fellow servant. and of thy brethren the prophets and of them which keep the sayings of this book. And Paul says, and we'll look at it in Colossians 2 in just a minute, but a fellow that gets caught up in angel worship will lose rewards. You know, undoubtedly, with the bunch of garbage that's going on in this world and in churches, there's Christians right now worshiping angels. And they're trying to pay reverence to angels. Countless Christians right now would rather believe what some angel told them than what the Bible told them. Ain't that the truth? You know people right now that if an angel appeared to them, they'd go shout it from the mountaintops, write a book, 30 seconds with an angel. They'd make a series on it. But if you go give them 30 seconds with the King James Bible, they'll get mad and report you to HR. That's how they are. You see what I mean? They'd rather believe what an angel says than what the Bible says. And unfortunately, these Christians are not only stupid, but they're going to stand before the Lord in a pile of ashes at the judgment seat of Christ. Colossians 2.18, here it is. Here's Paul's admonition. Here's what's going to happen. You mess around with angels. Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshiping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen. Vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind. You see that? You mess around with any kind of angel worship or, you know, giving them, what do you call it, being subservient to some angel or, you know, you're going to lose your reward. Be no different if the Pope walked in here, if you were to bow down, you get on your knee and kiss his ring. You can kiss my foot is what he can do. Amen. I ain't kissing his ring. I ain't bowing down to him. I'm not shaking his hand. You say you're a jerk. Help yourself. I don't want to lose my reward. Well, you're not a very kind Christian. I'm kind to the brethren, but not to someone taking millions and millions of souls to hell, has an audience, unprecedented, and never once mentioned the second coming of Jesus Christ. Fooey on you, Father. You're a bad father. All right, number 23. You guys all right with that, aren't you? I can't believe you wouldn't. I wouldn't shake his hand. I wouldn't shake a priest's hand. I'd stand there and make him feel uncomfortable. You say you got a big mouth. I already know that, but I still wouldn't shake his hand. All right, number 23. And angels can become visible and eat human food. Angels can become visible and eat human food. You got them on your sheet there. I'm kind of running out of room here. They can become visible and eat human food. Amen. Well, let me give you the food one there in Genesis 18. Genesis 18. That's the one we want to become visible and eat food. Genesis 18.5. Now, to those of you who read your Bible, as soon as we start reading the passage, you're like, aha, there it is. You already saw it. You already knew it. Genesis 18.5. Bible says here in verse five these angels three angelic visitors show up in verse five and I'll fetch a morsel of bread and comfort you your hearts after that you shall pass on for there for are you come to your servant and they said and they said so do as I said now you don't have a you don't have a you know, a discourse on the meal and pass the salt and the butter and, you know, pass the roast beast and all that. But he's like, yeah, do it and we'll eat it. That's what he's saying. But if you look at Luke chapter 2 and verse 9, you obviously know angels can become visible because you have written a history, historical account. Luke chapter 2. Although I believe 99% of the time they're not visible. But there are instances in the Bible that they become visible. Luke chapter 2 verse 9. Luke 2 verse 9, Bob says, And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them, and they were so afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be in all people. Look at 13, And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, and all the rest. You see it? They can become visible. One more, Genesis 32. Genesis 32. Genesis 32, you've got verse 1 and 2 there. And the Bible says, And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. How's that for a good morning? I mean, what would you do if you got met with angels? This tells you right now they don't have wings, because if they had wings, Jacob would have freaked out. See what I mean? This tells you they weren't 90 feet tall, because if they were 90 feet tall, Jacob would be having a seizure right now, instead of going, hey guys, what's happening? It shows you they're men. Verse 2, And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host. He correctly identifies the angelic beings, and he called the name of that place Maanaum. Now I'm going to cruise through the last couple here. Number 24. Of course, before the second coming of Christ, angels will become visible on this earth as 33-year-old men. All right. Before the second coming of Christ, the church is out. The church has been raptured out. The devil's angels, the third that falls, they'll become visible on this earth and they'll be 33-year-old men. You know what they'll do? They'll cohabitate with women just like they did in Genesis 6. And it'll be, their banner will be free love and free sex and all that stuff. That's what the government's been setting up for years now. They got God out of the federal school system and then they started providing contraceptives for children, which they still do. And they provide all kinds of dirty stuff there. And they're getting all these generations set up so when they come back, whatever goes, goes. And in Proverbs chapter 30, you can look at this later, verses 11 through 14, Dr. Uckman says this is a reference to these fallen angels. It's a generation. It's a generation of vipers. And in Proverbs chapter 30, verse 11, 12, 13, and 14, it's a generation that does this, a generation that does that, and a generation so forth and so on. We will look at this one. We've got to run this one down here. I'll show you the connection. I was going to breeze by it, but I can't. And whatever we have left, you'll have to look on your own there. Proverbs chapter 30, what is the verse? Is it verse 14? Oh, okay, good, good. So, now what I'm going to give you, we're going to open up a big can of worms and we're going to shut it before we even get it open, okay? But I want to at least show it to you in verse 14. Is that what I want? Yeah. It starts in 11, there's a generation that cursed their father, down to 14, there's a generation whose teeth are as swords and their jaw teeth as knives. Now notice this, this tribulation, quick switch to tribulation, to devour the what? The poor, the poor from off the earth and the needy from among men. And that word devour, you take it literal. You take it literal, I'll show you. Look at Isaiah 6. In the tribulation, what you're going to find out, I've got all the references here, but we will not have the time. In the tribulation, they're going to be eating Jews and drinking their blood. Isaiah chapter 6, verse 13. Now absolutely that's related to those fallen angels. Isaiah 6, look at verse 13. You will read your Bible different, I'm telling you right now. 6-13, now it's talking about Israel. It's talking about the people of God. Verse 11, "...then said I, Lord, how long? And He answered, Till the cities be waste without having tribulation." 12, "...and the Lord hath removed men far away, and there be a great forsaken mix of land." 13, "...but yet in it shall be a tenth." That's tribulation. You're going to have just a tenth. a tenth of the entire population shall return, it shall be a tenth as a teal tree, and as an oak whose substance is in them when they cast their leaves, so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof." You see that? They're going to be sacrificing Jews and it's going to be cannibalism. You say, that's disgusting. It sure is. Matthew 24, almost done here. Matthew 24. I believe that's what this thing is. In Matthew 24, 15, you got the abomination of desolation. This is what the Antichrist does in the tribulation. And, you know, of course, Jewish people say it's sacrificing a pig. It ain't sacrificing a pig. We sacrifice lots of pigs around our house. At least bacon anyways. 2415. When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place. Whoso readeth, let him understand. That thing chases back to Daniel chapter 8 verse 13. Daniel chapter 8 verse 13. Daniel calls it the transgression of desolation. Go ahead, we'll look at it. Daniel chapter 8. I want you to see it. I'm just not shooting my mouth off here. Daniel chapter 8. Real quick. Daniel chapter 8 verse 9. You've got the little horn. The little horn. You know what that little horn is? That's the Antichrist. That little horn's the Antichrist. And then you've got chapter 8 verse 23. 8 verse 23. And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance. There he is. That's the man of sin. And understanding dark sentences, she'll stand up. Verse 24. 24, and his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power, and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper in practice, and shall destroy the mighty and holy people. How does he do it? Sacrifice. That abomination of desolation, I believe, is human sacrifice, and they sacrifice a Jew right on the altar there, and the Lord says, when that thing takes place, you better head for the hills, Jews. And that's when the Lord is going to take care of those Jews in Revelation chapter 12 out in the wilderness, take care of them, so forth and so on, feed them, water them. And we have said a lot. So at this point, as we bring this thing down and those angels are going to come back as 33 year old men. And that's for DC and Marvel are trying to prepare you for everything. Avatar. Sure. So as we close the study on angels today, always remember your King James Bible, as you already knew it, has 100% of the answers 100% of the time. Amen. And the fellow that tells you or portrays angels is female. He's not biblical. If he tells you they're sexless, he's not biblical. Or if he says they have wings, he's not biblical. Amen? And he's never studied the King James Bible for 30 minutes on the subject. But every book on angels out there will not have this material, so stick with your old King James Bible. All right, we'll stop.
