prayers that have been requested.
We ask that Thou would encourage them up, those that are in need,
with their health, with whatever it may be, with their difficulties,
with their relatives, their mothers, their grandmothers, their pastors'
wives, different ones that have been requested for prayer. We
know that Thou canst touch hearts. And those that are in need, those
that have the request, give them grace, give them strength, give
them courage. to maintain whatever it may be
that's difficult in their lives. Help them, Lord, to be with them
and minister to them. Any of them that have requested
prayer are lost and unsaved, bring them to the knowledge of
our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who can help them and in Him
we can evolve things through His strength that strengthens
us. I just want to talk about that
word today and tonight in this book of Corinthians. We pray
in Jesus' name, we're in His sake. Amen. I'd like to read a book of 1 Corinthians,
beginning in chapter 14. Those who are listening with
us, please give us a call at 856-261-9018 or questions at
biblefree.org or 8-questions at bfdbc.org. I'd like to hear
from you. Give us a call to comments or
anything else. Let's begin by reading 1 Corinthians
14. verses 1, 2, and 3 together. Follow after charity, and desire
spiritual gifts, that rather that ye may prophesy. For he
that speaketh in an unknown topic speaketh not unto men, but unto
God. For no man understandeth him,
howbeit in his spirit he speaketh mysteries. And he that prophesieth
speaketh unto men gratification, and exultation, and comfort.
Why do you have pause for that before it begins? Hello? Hello? Oh, Cass. Well, thank you very
much. You've got it. Good. Thank you very much. Okay,
let's wave to Cass. That's Lambert. Okay. Thank you,
Cass. I'm glad you're there. All right,
now, in verses 7 to 14, what are we to follow after? That's right. To charity, I guess. And remember, what is the thing that they'd
rather do during this time when these gifts, signed gifts, were
present? Prophecy. Now, I notice in chapter
13, in verse 8, what is true of both songs and prophecies. There's someone tuning in from
New York. Oh, good. Let's wave to Anna. Anna, wait. Our granddaughter.
Wonderful. Thank you for tuning in. Be sure
to speak up now, Anna. Don't let us down. Get some comments.
I'm sure you've got them. One of the two things mentioned
in verse 8 of 13, chapter 13, verse 8, that he spoke of right
here, chapter 14, verse 1. That's that. Charity. Okay, but also what else? Charity, spiritual gifts, but
what's the other thing? Prophecy. Number 8. What about
verse number 8 and verse number 1? Well, chapter 13, verse 8,
it's talked about there. And also here. Tongues. Tongues. Alright, so what is true in verse
13 and 8? Assuming both of these signed
gifts, prophecies of that time? They're going to cease or fail.
They're going to cease or fail. One of these signed gifts, when
were they available to the church? And right there in the church
stood saved people who weren't able to do these things. When
were they present? During the transitional time
period prior to the close of the canon. Alright, when was
the close of the bible or the canon? Earth Day. When was that? Bill? About 90,
80? I don't think 90 or 180. The
bible was complete. But during this whole section
in the New Testament, especially here at First Corinthians and
other places, it talks about these signed gifts. How many
signed gifts are there? Oh, yeah. Can you guess that? About nine.
That's right, about nine. Nine signed gifts. Can I tell
you? Verses 8 through 10 of Chapter
12. Yes, they're there. And there's
nine of them. There's the nine, that's right. I'm working on
that right now in the book that I'm writing on First Corinthians,
Chapter 12. And so I just covered those nine different ones. And
when did the nine gifts, signed gifts, actually cease? When did
they cease? All of them, not just these two,
but all. What was the canon? That's not a shot and shooting
canon, but the canon of scripture, when the Bible was completed.
Now does everyone believe that and agree with us on that? No,
but it's clear in chapter 13 that these things will cease,
and that which is perfect is come, and that which is perfect,
is it masculine or neutered? Any hands on that? That which
is perfect, pass your hand. It's neutered. It's neutered.
And so what can ever refer to the coming of the Lord Jesus
Christ if it's neutered? Is he neutered? No, he's masculine. And so what is a neutered word
that this does refer to? That was, what are you, 10? The
Bible. The Bible. Tom Pippin has a neuter
word. And when the Bible is completed. And we have a battle with lots
of charismatics and Pentecostals who don't agree with us on that.
But when Paul was writing this, during the time of the Bible,
all these gifts were there. So in view of that, let's continue
and look at 14th chapter, verse number 1. Which is better? Well, Constance, even when these
gifts are there, Prophecy or tongues? In verse one, it just mentions
one, but in verse number two, you have both of them. What would he prefer? Actually,
it's in verse three. Verse three, that's right, verse
three. So, will charity fail ever? No. When the Bible is finished,
when it's not complete, when it's partial, it'll always be.
But these other signed gifts will stop and cease, even though
some people disagree with us on that. In the gift, the signed gift
of prophecy, what happens in that signed gift? What happened? Define that, Deb. Well, there's
a message from God. I mean, kind of like the Old
Testament prophecy. The Lord spoke to them, and then
they spoke to the people. So God had a message, and through
the gift of prophecy in the time before the Bible was completed,
these were messages, as you say, from God to people, Christian
people, to follow and understand. And that's what he would say.
The Spirit of God would rather that you prophesy and have these
gifts from God. Then in verse number two, what
is true of the, what is this unknown tongue in verse two?
How would you define that unknown tongue? Ah, in verse 214, when he is
speaking in an unknown tongue, speaking in tongues, not in Tibetan,
but in Chinese. Yes. No man understands it. No man understands how he is
hearing. He's speaking in mysteries. That's
right. That's good, Paul, for verse
number two. But how do we define unknown tongue? How do we define
it, Pastor Dan? A known foreign language. What is the purpose? How did
God use that in the New Testament days? It was used at Pentecost. Apostles shared the gospel of
chapter 2. Acts chapter 2. And they shared
the gospel of those four countries. People that were there for the
feast of Pentecost. They were Jews. Had the apostles ever studied
his language before? No. No. It was a special gift
of God. They were unknown to them. Unknown
to them, absolutely. But not unknown to their hearers.
To their hearers. Their hearers spoke it. Their
hearers knew they were speaking that real language. Yes. Very
important. And it is defined as an unknown language. If you
had that gift in the Bible times, what is the negative about this
gift? And what is the positive? The first number, truth. Something
is not true, something is true. What enhancement is that? First
number two, yes. When you're speaking to men,
you're speaking to God. All right. And unknown tongue. Not to men, because men don't
know, but God knows that unknown language. Now, a person that
knows Hebrew, for example, or whatever the Jews spoke in that
day, if they had an unknown tongue, a completely different language,
would they be able to understand that? The Hebrew people? The Jews? No, but it's not God. God understands it. No man understands
it, except the ones that live in that particular country and
nation, as in Acts chapter 2. That's correct. But in the Spirit,
He speaks mysteries. What is a mystery? If He has
this gift in Bible times, what is a mystery, Lord? The mystery
is a sacred secret. So it's a secret that God speaks. Then in verse number three, what
is true of the prophecy, what was a gift, what was practiced,
what did it do? What was its purpose, and how
did God use it? A special scientific during the
Bible times. And? It was used for edification,
exhortation, and comfort. Those three things. How do we
define exhortation? Let's start with those three
things. How do we define that? Exhortation. Did I pass you that? Encouraging somebody to do something
that's on the right track, do the right thing. Yes. Exhortation. That was the case. What was that?
Building up. Encouragement. Building up strong.
And then comfort and support. How do we define it? Support. Support. Things that would help people
to calm their problems and difficulties. I already have a suit right here. That I got. Yes. Bond Linn Walls. Bond Linn. Thank
you. Dr. Whitting, talking about verse
2, and then, of course, verse 3, could part of this be somewhat
of a commentary on about how the books were getting, the affirmation
was going into the biblical books? like mysteries, you know, the
mystery about the church. And I'm just wondering if part
of this is talking about the preparation of the books of the
Bible, the New Testament. Yes. That's good. We'll take
that. Thank you very much for calling.
Thank you. Let's wave to Bondman and Walsh
over there. Thank you very much. And Pastor
Dan, how do we answer this as far as the preparation for the
New Testament and some of these scientists? wants us to play
in the foundation, perhaps, as far as that's concerned. But
it's not. At one stage, it ceases. You see, the canon of Scripture
is completed. God does give. God does give.
He communicates to man in Scripture. That's the process of inspiration.
He reveals to man certain things that they wanted to write down.
And some of those things they did write down, and they became
Scripture. And so the prophets that God used to write the Scriptures,
the New Testament books, That was a revelation from God. And
these things right here, well, temporarily, they weren't writing
books here, weren't writing Bible books at this point, but the
principle is similar because it's something God gives to men
to be able to understand and do these three things as mentioned
here for edification, exaltation, and comfort. These are not gifts
mentioned here specifically in writing of books, but every writer
that wrote God used to write the scriptures, New Testament
scriptures, was given that special word, every word. God breathed
and it revealed to the right, like Paul writing here in 1 Corinthians.
Alright, and let's read verse number 4, 5, and 6. He that speaketh
in an unwrought tongue, greater is he that prophesieth
than he that speaketh with untongue, except he interpreteth that the
church be in Israel. Now brethren, as I come unto
you, speaking with tongues, what shall I prophesy you, as if I
shall speak to you, either by revelation, or by knowledge,
or by prophesying, or by fact. Like verse 4, what is true here
that speaketh in unknown tongue? What is it true? So he's encouraged by the Lord
because the Lord is using him and understanding something that
he wants to find out and to know. But what is the context of the
prophesying at that? It edifies the whole church.
The whole church. But for he that speaketh in an
unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God. So if you
speak in an unknown tongue, you're speaking to God. For no man understandeth
him, however in his spirit he speaketh mysteries. Nobody understands
the things he says with God, and it's all big mystery. That's
right. In verse number four, the Christian
believer, the genuine Christian, who had been given that signed
gift of speaking foreign language to someone else, identifies himself,
he feels the power of God, but he didn't prophesy it, but when
God revealed some of his truth, he identifies the whole church.
It was a much better gift, even in the days when it was used. Then in verse number 5, what
does it mean, I would, hope, choose me, find? Do you think that the church
was filled with many people that spoke different languages, and
so they had the time speaking so they all could understand
the one language? It is possible. Although, as
we'll see a little bit later, it may not be true. And some of the other ways. I
was just wondering. Yeah, that's possible. If there are five people who
are speaking different languages, but then if some of you came
up and spoke one that we all could understand, maybe a new
language or something. That's right. So it's basically
those that are in foreign languages, tongue, or language, special
language, would help them to understand. And one person named
I would. That's his desire. And what was
his desire? Two desires. One is not as strong
as the other. What's the first one that he
would? In verse number 5. Can I answer that? At that time? That everyone could speak Italian.
At this time, everyone could speak the language so people
could understand the foreign language. If it's French or German
or whatever it is, or Spanish in our day or other languages.
But what's the... I'd like to have people speak
in these foreign languages so people can understand the gospel, but what's
his preference? Prophecy. Special language. Questions
at bftpc.org or 856-261-9018. Give us a call or comment and
say hello. I was just going to say, I forget
what I was going to say, but something about prophecy. It's
more important than speaking in tongues. Somehow or other, If they should stop speaking
in tongues, they should just talk. I'm trying to figure it
out. Too many tongues. What if that gift were here today,
and somebody says, I've got the gift of prophecy, signed gift
of prophecy, and he says something that's completely contrary to
the Bible? It would be a false prophet. And so that's what a lot of these
things, these are Bibles that God doesn't want to add anymore.
Here the Bible wasn't, so God used these special scientists,
but it ceased when the Bible was complete about 90 or 100
A.D. And so we'd rather have you prophesy
correct things from God. So, Joe, do you think it was
possible at that time, there may have been those prophets
that were you know, saying they already had a prophecy from God,
and in fact it went contrary to the scripture that was already
given. Already given, yes. And sure
there were false prophecies, just like in the Old Testament,
false prophets. I think of that story that we read in the Bible
a day or two ago, where one prophet was told to go to a certain place,
perform what he had to perform, I come right back home, don't
eat there, don't stop there, go right back home. Then another
prophet, oh, I saw a thing for the Lord. The older prophet,
see? Lying through his teeth. And because the younger prophet
didn't obey God, he was killed by a lion. Terrible, terrible. So, some people are false prophets
as well. The lion just stood there. They killed him, but they didn't
eat him. They didn't devour him. He just
stood there beside him after he was dead, which is interesting.
And what did the old prophet want to be done to him when he
died? Put his bones with the young
prophet. The young prophet was a true
brother. to be speaking second Timothy,
there are a number of verses on false Bibles and false teachers
and so on. So this is very bad indeed. So
in verse number five, all speak but rather. That means the best thing is
in that day when the Bible is not going to be a prophecy. It's
things from God to reveal to the genuine Christians what they
should do, what they should believe. And who's greater, false One
of the problems is they're greater. Because you can understand them. That's right. Except what? If
a man is speaking in four languages, interpretation. Now, when we
were, as reporters, Mr. Wade and me, we were reporters
at this huge, Kansas City, Kansas or Missouri, at that big conference
of paramedics, they would speak in tongues, and somebody would
try to interpret, You don't know why that interpretation is right
or wrong. Some people have said, I've read it in books, that when
these present-day tongue speakers, the prophesied speakers, the
language that they talk, some of it is a filthy, filthy, rotten,
satanic meaning. People that know that language
are supposed to be speaking. It's a terrible fact. I don't
know who it was or when it was, but I remember hearing about
that. But... Mr. Chambers, Joseph Chambers. Joseph Chambers is a pedagogical
charismatic. He plays like we do in many of
these areas. But these nine hits, he stands with and I stand against.
We were in meetings one time. He's a good speaker and preacher.
He's a good soft speaker. Yeah, Bill. Yeah, the tongues
that they supposedly speak in these days, they're not real
words. They don't form any part of language
at all. You know, it's just syllables
rolling off of a person's tongue. It's a spontaneous thing, just
sort of like jazz improvisation or gibberish. Yes, it's just gibberish. That's
true, and of course, that's why they're not real time, they're
not real language in many of the situations. Some are, but
most of them aren't. They just babble, babble, babble.
But in verse number 5, if you do have this, even Paul's day
before the Bible is complete, interpretation. Now when we were
there at that meeting, they tried to interpret something. I don't
know whether they interpreted it right or wrong, but they had some sort
of people up there. They stood up there and they talked this
other language and then they had different people up there
that would tell us what that meant. Yeah, exactly. They were
just making it up. They were just making it up as
far as I can see, absolutely. They were so happy making it
up. But the church even in those
days had to be edified and build up in the faith. And then in
verse number 6, when he comes, if he comes speaking in tongues,
what's going to happen then? Paul says, what if I come speaking
in four languages to you? In verse 5, verse 6. He's wondering
what prophet is going to be for them. Unless it's going to be
a revelation or a prophecy. What shall that prophet be to
you? It's going to be to accept and shall speak to you either
by revelation or by knowledge. In other words, in those languages,
they're not going to help anybody. Unless there's interpretation
of them, and sometimes there wasn't, apparently. But acceptance
shall speak to you either by what? Three things. Or two things. Or three things. Yes, that's
it. Doctrine is one of them. Doctrine.
What else? Revelation. Verse six. What else
is the third one? Revelation. So, something that
builds them up and edifies them. And that's just not an understanding
of any kind. Well, number six. Knowledge is another one. We
miss knowledge. Oh yeah, revelation, knowledge. So would the knowledge,
would that be the spiritual gift, or is that something else? It
is one of the nine assigned gifts mentioned later on in the First
Corinthians, but I think there's knowledge, This is probably the knowledge
that's mentioned in 1 Corinthians, where it's placed. This is the
spiritual gift. Probably the spiritual gift. Special knowledge, divine knowledge,
specially given to them that nobody else can know. I have
a question. What would be the difference
between revelation and prophesying? Probably similar. When I think of revelation, I
almost think of Since we don't know exactly what
that knowledge is, perhaps it might be something on the order
of what God gave to Solomon for his wisdom. Maybe not to the
extent that Solomon had it, but perhaps it was a gift in that
sense too. questions at BATBC.org or 856-261-9018.
Give us a call or comment and an ear for me. And so then in
verse we have to read 7, 8, and 9. Do you get it? Verses. And
even things without life, giving sound, whether pipe or heart,
except to give a distinction of the sounds, must have been
known what is pipe or heart. For if the trumpet gives a strange
sound, who shall prepare themselves for battle? So likewise he, except
he was uttered by the tongue, were it easy to be understood,
how shall it be known what is spoken? For he shall speak into
the air. All right, then verse number
7. Things giving sound. What are the illustrations of
sound that are mentioned in verse 8? What type of things are giving
sound here? Trumpet. Trumpet is one. And
what else? A pipe and a harp. Those are
musical instruments. Now, if those are trying to play
a song or tune that we know, that's one thing. But if we don't
know anything about it, it's meaningless. People can rattle
on with music. Like, for instance, the music
you hear when you're waiting to and call someone and have
them answer. They have little music things
on the radio or the song. And we don't know what that's
like. It's just a bunch of nice music. We don't know what they're
saying. They don't say anything. Let's see what we got here. Oh, my. I busted it. No, I didn't. Hello,
Rob Winograd from Chicago. I can't hear. Hi, everyone. I've
got a couple of things. I think Sister Bottle was asking
about if they knew they were writing scripture. I think they
absolutely did. Peter alludes to Paul's writings
in 2 Peter 3, chapters 2 Peter 3, verse 16. He refers to Paul's
writings as scripture. Yes. One of the verses in this,
Paul says, in 1 Corinthians 14, verse 37, the things that I wrote
unto you are the commandments of the Lord. And I do believe
that he did know that he was saying scripture. And most of
the time that John goes down, they didn't know anything. They
had no idea what they were writing. And on the tongues here, They were assigned for them,
but believe not. And he also alludes to Isaiah
28, 11, verse 21. It is written, and of other tongues
and of other lips will I speak unto this people. And yet for
all that Will they not hear me? So it's a word. It was a stumbling
block for many of them. But it was also like the conviction
of the Prophets and the Gentiles when they came into the church
to see this miraculous thing of promise. The whole chapter deals with
Paul. Paul was saying that they were elevating God about prophecy. And Paul said, you know, the
Spirit of the Prophets was like James of Prophets. I mean, they
were founded, they were exalted, and they were held up to Scripture
also, to the Old Testament. And Paul was a Pharisee, and
he constantly heard of the Old Testament. And I think that also
crosses over again, that he knew he was writing Scripture. quoting
Scripture over and over again. And I did believe he was writing
Scripture. Yes, that's good, Paul. Thank
you very much. Let's wave to Paul in Chicago. Rave to Rob in Chicago. All right. Thank you very much.
And that helps with the one last question as well. To answer that,
that's great. So in verse number 8, number
7, I guess we're still in 7, without life, with the harps
and the pipes. People have music, they hear
music and organs and everything, but they don't know what they're
playing. It just sounds, but they have to have something they
can understand. That's time. Okay. Ann's got
a couple of comments here. Good. C First Corinthians 13.1. Though I speak with the tongues
of men and of angels and have not charity, I have become as
sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal, the uncertain sound. Yes, that's very good. Thank
you, Anna. That's great, Diana. New York, Pennsylvania. New York,
Pennsylvania. Thank you very much. All right,
so the hype and the harp and these musical sounds, the distinction
in the sounds. Not just simply a very long guess
of time. It's interesting, it says life-giving
sound. Life-giving sound. Show me where that is. Verse number 7. We're at 14, 14-7. One wouldn't necessarily think
of the sound as life-giving, but it could be. If it's an alarm
or something... Yes, if you actually hear it,
it's like his life... What does he say, life giving sound? In
verse 7, verse 7. Things without life giving sound.
Without life giving sound. Okay, I get it. Never mind. I was just digging the short
phrase and misunderstanding it. That's good. In other words... Things that give sound, things
that aren't even alive. When people are using instruments,
whether it's piano or saxophone, clarinet, trumpet, trombone,
viola, you know, violin, there's certain sounds that they make
that make a tune that we understand, especially if we don't understand.
So it's got to be understood, distinction in sounds. How should
we know what's played? There has to be a distinction. piano, my wife does the piano. It must be understood what it's
playing, what it's from. When you play them on a note,
it's obvious too. It's obvious too, that's exactly
right. So that was 5, 6, and 7, was it? We started on 7, so
we have 8 and 9. Oh yeah, okay. This is verse 8. It's tremendous. Very valuable for many things.
What is mentioned here? Oh, she's trying to get this
for the first. Verse 8? Why is it, Chad? Barbara, call
again. I didn't get it. Oh, wait a minute.
I almost got it. It keeps getting lost. Call again, Barbara. I'm sorry
about that. If I don't get it in the right way, then I lose
it. Okay, we'll try again. For instance, call to battle. Yes, call to battle. What are the different sounds
in the Old Testament for the trumpets? Three or four purposes. Gathering. Gathering together.
Alarm. Alarm. What else? For war. For war, okay. So these are special
things. When you used to have camp. And
you would call it, and do the different calls. And nobody said
a word. They just played those calls.
A bugle call. That was a bugle. A bugle call. That was a bugle. A bugle call.
That was a bugle. A bugle call. That was a bugle. A bugle call. That was a bugle. A bugle
call. That was a bugle. A bugle call. That was a bugle. A bugle call. That was a bugle. A bugle
call. That was a bugle. A bugle call. That was a bugle. A bugle call. That was a bugle. A bugle call.
That was a bugle. A bugle call. That was a bugle. A bugle call. That was a bugle. A bugle
call. That was a bugle. A bugle call. That was a bugle. A bugle call. That was a bugle. A bugle
call. That was a bugle. A bug I was contemplating this without life-giving
sound. Even without the life-giving,
there is a distinction in the pipe or the harp. But, so the
sound then, if it's going to be any good, has to be life-giving,
which is the exhortation and the edification and the comfort.
That's where the life is. The sound. Yes, that's great. Thank you very much. Let's wave
to the Biblical Master right here in New Jersey. Amen. Thank
you, Biblical Master. That's a good thing. Good coming. Does that really mean that the
Son will give life? Like when a baby cries when it's
first born? I think the things are without
life. I misunderstood it when I was talking about it. So what
do you think it is, Tammy? Well, I think the things don't
have life in themselves. but they give sound. They give
sound. Oh, that's good. I think they
also use trumpet to assemble for feasts. Come and get your
challenge. Now, we're talking about bugle
sounds. It's a trumpet of an uncertain
sound. Give me three or four different
trumpet bugle calls and what do they mean? Number one is what?
That's one. People call for food. What's
another one? Tabs. What does that do? It's
the end of the day. It's time to go to bed. Or also
at a funeral, right? Is that a funeral? No. And they do that at funerals. Funerals also. What's the third
one? The rise up, whatever it is. The wake up. Wake up up. I don't
know how that one goes. That's food. How does that one
go? For rise. What is it for? I can't hear it. Well, we need
a trumpeter here. I think that's a trumpeter. I
think that's what it is. I think that's wake-up call. We'll go whole on that, but someone
knows, give us a call, 856-261-9018. What's another one? Colors. Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da,

right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's
right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right.
That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right.
That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's
right. That's right. That's right. That's
right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's
right. Okay, well, that's good. That's good. Repeat it, just
the first phrase again. Repeat the first phrase again.
Thank you. Just go ahead. Yeah, go ahead. That's good. Okay. That's good. Okay. Thank you
very much. That's good. Thank you very much. Go ahead.
Another one. Another one. Another call. Google call. What do you do when you are going
into formation? What's the call to get ready?
Anna says, I never learned them all, but I wanted to. Okay. What's
the first call? You don't know what it is. That's
the first call of me. I mean, the first goal, before
you get into formation, you better get in line, get into formation.
Then, what is the last goal? What is the final goal? Once you're in goal, then you're
in attention, you play a second goal. First goal is get ready
to go, get in formation, then second goal. That's the first one, yeah? That
sounds like the first one. Anyhow, there's an assembly call
as well. The pastor? The pastor wanted to say hello
to you and all of you at the church family. Thank you for
tonight's Bible study, Carl. Also, wanted to send his thanks
and appreciate Mrs. Wade for the lovely birthday
card we received. God bless each one. His love,
Vicki and Carl. Vicki and Carl, well worth it.
Wade to them. Over there in Massachusetts, right? No, Maine. That's right.
It's at the M, right? When are you going to come see
us? I think December. That's with December. You've
got to be there right, otherwise you'll get penalized. They're
not there on time. All right, well, if the trumpet...
Does the trumpet give an uncertain sound? What is true if the trumpet
does not give a certain sound? What happens? You don't know,
you're confused. Confused? And what's the last part of that
verse say? I can't remember. That that? He shall prepare himself
to the battle. So, it's very, very important.
And if we identify the trumpet as the Bible, the Word of God,
the scriptures, like we believe in the King James Bible, accurate
translations for the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek language,
an excellent translation. If we don't have that real, solid,
clear-cut, trumpet call, then we don't know where on earth
the Bible is. We've got to listen. You have to catch an ad. Bob knows us,
and she's won it with the wake-up call. Wake-up call. But that
was the one that helped you. Yeah, probably. And what was
that wake-up call again? So Rob did it. Is that it? Okay. So as I say, it's been
a number of years. Gotta get up in the morning. Is that the wake-up call? Gotta get up. I think that's
the wake-up call. I think that's what he said. All right. But we've got to have
the proper call That's why I need the proper Bible to prepare us. Otherwise, we're not prepared
for the battle. We've got to be prepared for
this battle. We've got a battle on our hands today with all kinds
of things. So that's my verse number 8.
We read 9, too, didn't we? We read 9, didn't we? I don't know. Yes. Okay. This
is the last verse. What is true of this verse? What
is the danger? What is it warning us about? Can I answer that? You have to speak so you can
be understood. Is that what you want? That's right. It's easy to be
understood when you talk. You can't be trusted. If you
just make a bunch of noise, it goes into the air. That's right. And
how should it be known when it's spoken up? Speak into the air.
In other words, this is a waste of time. It has to be clear.
Now, if it's a foreign language, as they have the gift of these
days with all the greatness, then they can make it clear for
the foreigners and so on. Let's see what this is. Faith
Peterson, voicemail. I didn't get the song, but at
least she called and said something. That's good. Why wouldn't it
be there? Well, I don't know. The dingle
is a little bit different than the actual voice. It's just a
little bit messy. Oh, the dingle and dangle? Yeah, the dingle
is a little bit different. So that's verse number nine.
He's the man who's the speaker in Washington. There, now that's
a real call. See that? Blink and blink. OK. That's Rob again. Go ahead, Rob. Oh, yeah. The mic is going up. Good. That's nice. What else does he
have for us? We could have him tune that on
every time church was supposed to start. That's good. Any other comments before we
close tonight? That's very nice. That's nice. You just call people or send
them an email with a link and they can... Yes, we can link
it right. Get that call. Any other comments
before we close? If not, let's close. We thank
you, Heavenly Father. God has revealed all these verses, this
whole chapter, the whole book of 1 Corinthians. We thank you
we can discuss it and talk about it. And though these gifts were
were there in Paul's day and up until the Bible was completed.
We do not believe that they're still with us today. And the
Charismatics and the Pentecostals that hold that, they differ with
us, and at times fight with us about it. But the Charismatic
movement is going astray and going into modernism and apostasy.
I'm glad that Brother H.G. Spence, who used to be a Charismatic
in Pentecostal work, he left it when they began to break.
So if things are happening, God has the directives to bring us
back safely to the Lord so that He can help us to live for our
Savior and love Him and serve Him.
