Death, The Final Warning for Mankind

Let's proceed with our Sabbath script. Let's go to Leviticus the 23rd chapter and we go we go pick it up at verse one. And for those, like I say, I always like to target the new people because it's the new people that we searching for a sense of. It's the lost sheep are the ones that we are looking for. The people who don't know nothing about the Sabbath day at all. And those are the people that we looking for. so they can understand not only do you have to love God, but you also have to do what God requires for you to do as well.

So, let's go to Leviticus the 23rd chapter, Leviticus 23, and we going to let the world know when the Lord's true and living Sabbath day is. Let's go to Leviticus 23, and we going to pick it up at verse one. Why would I say the living Sabbath? Because all God's commandments bring life, sisters and brothers. That's what God commandments does. It bring life and it also is also going to let you walk in the light once you understand the plan of God. So now let's go to Leviticus 23 and we going to pick it up at verse one.

Leviticus 23 and we going to pick it up at verse one. When you get there, my beautiful beloved elder, go ahead and read. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, [snorts] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them concerning the feast of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be a holy convocation. Go ahead. Even these are my feast. So, we was just in here yesterday for the feast days, sisters and brothers, as as you know right now, we are in the second day of the first of the seventh month.

But off in this case right here, he is also going to talk about the Sabbath days. So he talked about these feast days and he also told us these are the holy convocations that God gave to us. Now so now let's show you what the requirement day of the Sabbath is. Those that are new, if you are coming into the word and you make and you got to get a job, make sure you ain't working on the Sabbath. Sometimes you might have to take a lesser living because Satan has it designed to where we cannot keep the Sabbath day because he got everybody broke and got everybody feeling that I got to take a job where I got to work on the Sabbath day.

No, you don't. Sometimes you got to live a little bit lesser when it comes to that. So now let's read that verse three. Go ahead and read. Six days shall work be done. He says six days shall work be done. Go ahead and read. But the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest. But this is the difference right here. He said, "But the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest," sisters and brothers. And what else is this day? Go ahead. A holy convocation. It's also a holy convocation. It's a holy gathering.

That's what the Sabbath day is. Like I tell anybody, we know we going to have it hard. We know we going to need money. But see, God understand that you need money, too. Do not let the world make you work on the Sabbath day. Because one thing Peter said is what? That we got to obey God rather than man. No matter what man say, we still got a tower line when it come to the Lord. So he said six days shall work be done. But the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest.

Go ahead and read a holy convocation. It's also a holy convocation. That means we got to gather not at your job. You [clears throat] got to gather at church. That's what a holy convocation is. So now keep reading. Go ahead. You shall do no work therein. Ye shall do no work therein. See, yesterday we was able to do a little uh survival work. I mean, not survive work, I'm sorry. We were able to do a little bit of cooking because that's what God requires on his feast. But survive work is where you got to take pay from a job.

That's what he talking about. So God don't want none of his children to do that. Why? Because the Sabbath day is a sign between God and his people. So he says, "Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, a holy convocation. Ye shall do no work therein." Go ahead and read. It is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings. It is the Sabbath of the Lord in all of your dwellings, sisters and brothers. So now let's go to St. Luke the 4th chapter.

Because we call ourselves Christians. Not only are we Hebrew Israelites, but we also call ourselves Christians because we follow Christ. You got a lot of people that say, "Well, you know, we don't want to be called no Christian or nothing like that." Why not? Christian just mean Christlike. And if you go look off in the Bible, you will see what they that they were first called Christians at Antioch. And these was the people that you reading about that followed along with Jesus for three and a half years. He the one made the decision where they was first called Christians at Antioch.

So now let's go to St. Luke the 4th chapter. St. Luke 4. We going to pick it up at verse 14. I wanted to throw a little bit for the newcomers in for the Sabbath day. Let's go to St. Luke 4. St. Luke 4 and we going to pick it up at verse 14. St. Luke 4:14. When you get there, go ahead, Elder. And Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galilee. Go ahead. And there went out a fame of him throughout all the region round about. Go ahead.

And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. So, not only did Jesus come and die for the sins of the people, now not only did he came to deliver you from death and to also give you eternal life, Jesus also came to teach. Jesus was also a teacher. So now they said he said that he came to Nazareth where he had been brought up. And as his custom was, go ahead and read. He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day. Go ahead. And stood up to read. That's when he went in.

So if you going to follow Christ, you got to do the things that Christ did. He said that he came to Nazareth where he had been brought up and as his custom was, his way of life, what he did, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and stood up for to read. We saying this for a reason because most people that are new cannot take the blinders off of the Sunday church. And you got to take it off of the Sunday church if you are going to follow the Lord and you are going to follow him in truth and in righteousness.

sisters and brothers. So also we want to give a round of applause for the brotherhood and the [applause] sisterhood. We know we did that yesterday, but we still want to say it again because not only did we have such an awesome time yesterday and blowing up the trumpets in the real Sabbath month, which is the month Ethan, we had a beautiful time and we also want to have a beautiful time today. So, also, like I said, we had an awesome time yesterday, sisters and brothers. We ate real good. We blew the trumpets up and now we back here serving the Lord again, sisters and brothers.

And you gonna find out that the older you get, the only place that you want to be at and the only place where you should be at is in church on these days. Because this what's going to grow us, sisters and brothers, if you want to understand what God requires of you, the only way that your faith is going to grow is you have to hear the word of God. And that's what's going to make your faith grow, sisters and brothers. So, we going to get right on into the lesson today.

We got a little bit of a shorter lesson, but a very very important lesson because last Sabbath I had made a mention about all of the the earthquakes that have happened. We see all of the floods and things like that that's happened, things like that that's going around. Even off in Indiana from the floods that we had, we had about seven or eight people died right there. Well, in the eyes of the Lord, one is good enough. So when you see all of the death and the destruction and the war and the famine and things like go that's going on in the land.

See all of that is going on to do one thing is to get those that are living is to get your attention. Is to get your attention. When you got death that's going on around you. You see death all in the world. See God already done took them. So now those that are alive, you know, one day you going to be in that same situation or that same condemnation as everybody else did. So what do you got to do? You got to make sure that when you alive that you paying attention to what's going on.

And you better also be praying for yourself that the Lord don't kill you. But so you got you got all these people dying in the world, but then when you look around, you got a whole lot of sin that's going on in the world, too. So when you see a lot of sin that's going on in the world, every time somebody is born, somebody else dies. Sometimes you die of natural causes, which that's what we all hoping that we die from. But then there were also situations where God bring catastrophes on the world to get the living's attention.

So the title of this lesson is death, the final warning for mankind. Death, the final warning for mankind. This your last warning world. This what God is telling you. I'm killing people around you. I'm killing people in other countries and I'm killing people also where you dwell to get your attention to let you know that you got to repent. And every day when you pray to the Lord, the mo the main thing that you have to be concentrating on is repenting for your behavior. Making sure that you are walking the straight and the narrow path.

So now he said death the final warning for mankind. So we got we have to also understand one more thing that we can fall in the exact same category as all of the other people that has died if we do not repent about it. So you got to make sure you that while you are alive that you serving God to the best of your ability that you walking with the Lord in faith that you walking with the Lord in his commandments and also that you being holy sisters and brothers see that's one that I kind of neglected for years.

We had everything else, but what's missing, God? What's missing? We got to be holy. The Lord said we a holy nation. And we ought to pray for the world once all of this death and destruction that's going on and make sure that we not in the same condemnation. But now, let's go to Hosea the 4th chapter. Let's go to Hosea 4. Hosea 4. And we going to pick it up at verse one. But anyway, let's go to Hosea the fourth chapter. Hosea 4. We gonna talk about the 10 tribes for a little bit.

You know, I got some people that remind me of the 10 tribes today. But let's talk a little bit about the 10 tribes. The 10 tribes was rich. The 10 tribes had way more money than what Judah could have ever thought about. Think about it. You got 10 tribes that was going against one. 10 tribes. So it so when you go back and look the way that the 10 tribes was living because see this who Hosea was talking about and in the days of Hosea you had the second Jeroboam that was ruling at that time and Jeroboam was the 13th king that was associated with with with the 10 tribes now and we all know what that the letters 13 and the letters 19 those are satanic numbers sisters and brothers when you go look around just go look in your Bible the 13th king was a king Jeroboam.

You got the 19th month which is in the matonic calendar. You got 19 sins with the Lord's hate. You had choleamar which is in the 13 year. What did they do? They rebelled against God. You got 13 months. And if you look at it on the back of a dollar, when you look at 13, everything that was associated with the number 13 is evil. Just pay attention to what we saying now. So we going to deal with we going to deal with the 10 tribes first because they was evil. They had a lot of money making gold and cash.

Judah was kind of broke. Anytime Judah went down, they had to go take all of the gold and the vessels out of the temple to give to the other people to keep them from killing them. But when you had 10 tribes going against one, they was wealthy. They had a lot. But what were they doing? They was all walking in sin, sisters and brothers. Keeping the feast days out of the eight month. Should sound familiar to you. But now let's go to Hosea the 4th chapter. Hosea 4. And we gonna pick it up at verse one.

Hosea 4. And we gonna pick it up at verse one. Let's show you how the Lord feel about it because he getting ready to deal with Judah now. Hosea 4 and one. When you get there, my beautiful beloved elder, go ahead and read. Hear the word of the Lord. You children of Israel. For the Lord has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land. So think about it now. It is nothing changed. We going to start off with Israel. But see, God has a controversy with the people of the land.

now the inhabitants of the land. So he said, "Hear the word of the Lord, you children of Israel." Now he talking to the 10 tribes. He said, "For the Lord had a controversy with the inhabitants of the land." So he going to tell you why. Go ahead and read. There's no truth. He said, "Because there is no truth." Go ahead. No mercy. Go ahead. There is no knowledge of God in the land. This the reason why he got the controversy with the people, sisters and brothers. And it ain't nothing changed today.

It's nothing that has changed. He got a controversy with the inhabitants of the land because there's no truth no more. There's no mercy from the people. There's no forgiveness from the people. He said, "No acknowledge God in the land." So now verse two, go ahead. By swearing and lying and killing and stealing and committing adultery. Go ahead. They break out. Go ahead. And blood touches blood. You hear why God got a controversy? Yes. We got a lot of things that's going on in the land, but we got a whole lot of swearing going on.

I swear on my mama ain't do this. I swear on this. I swear on God. It's a whole lot of swearing and a whole lot of lying going on in the land. A whole lot of killing and stealing and a whole lot of committing adultery. That's what's going on in the world right now. So what do you think going to happen? You think God is not going to invisit or visit the world when they walking in sin the way that they are? So now what did he say at verse three?

Go ahead. Therefore shall the land mourn. He said, "Therefore shall the land mourn." Go ahead. And everyone that dwelleth therein shall languish. And everyone that dwelleth therein shall languish. Sisters and brothers, they going to languish because of it. Languish means to put in a bad situation or a bad plan of mind when you are walking in language. And language, sisters and brothers. So now keep reading. Go ahead and read. with the beast of the field and with the fowl of the heavens. Yay, the fish of the sea also shall be taken away.

Go ahead. Yet let no man strive nor reprove another. So now he said when all of this stuff is going on, he said, "Yet let yet let no man strive nor reprove another." Go ahead and read. For their people are as they that strive with the priest. The priest just get it all the time. The priest of God get it all the time. I remember a long time ago that Elijah used to tell the teachers don't even do questions and answers cuz that was a time for the for the congregation to attack the priests all the time.

So now he said he said yet let no man strive nor reprove another. He said for thy people are as they that even strive with the priest. So now what else going to happen? Verse five, go ahead. Therefore shall thou fall in that day and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night. Go ahead. and I will destroy thy mother. So notice what he said. He said, "Thou shalt fall in the day." He said, "The prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother." We know who the mother is.

The mother is Jerusalem. So I'm going to tear Jerusalem down. He said, "And I will destroy thy mother." So now, let's show you why we as a people are destroyed. Verse six, go ahead. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. That's why we are being destroyed, sisters and brothers. He said, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." We don't have no knowledge when it come to the word of God. And if you go back up and read at verse one, he said he got a controversy with the people of the land because there is no knowledge of God in the land at all.

Nobody understands how he operates. Nobody understands the operation of God's hands. So therefore, that's why people are dying because they have no knowledge. So now, keep reading. Go ahead. Because thou have rejected knowledge. Because thou has rejected knowledge. You could have got the knowledge, but what did you do? You rejected the the knowledge. Go ahead and read. I will also reject thee, thou shalt be no priest to me. Since thou forgot the law thy God. Go ahead. I will also forget thy children. He says, since thou has forgotten the law of thy God, he said, I will also forget thy children, sisters and brothers.

And he not lying about that. You got a generation of kids, the parents can't tell them nothing no more. You got the youth raising the youth. The youth, hey man, don't worry about this. Don't do this. Don't do that. So you got the youth banding together and they trying to raise one another and trying to get from under the umbrella of their parents because their parents are going to teach them right. But they trying to get away from their parents. And that's a curse from God, sisters and brothers. And you read about it because he said, "I will also forgive thy children." So now verse seven, go ahead and read.

as they were increased. So this is a bit where he said, "And as they were increased." Go ahead and read. So they sinned against me. So they sinned against me, the more God blessed them, the more money they got, the more money they made, that's what turned them away from the Lord. He says, "For he said as they the more they increase, so they sinned against me." So now what else going to happen? Go ahead. Therefore, I will change their glory into shame. They eat up the sins of my people and they set their heart on their iniquity.

They set their heart on their iniquity. Go ahead and read. And they shall be like people, like priests. I will punish them for their ways. Go ahead. And reward them for their doing. And I'm also going to reward them for they do. Sisters and brothers, you going to get a reward, but the reward you ain't that you going to get is not the reward you going to be looking for in the end. You think you going to make it and get eternal life and you going to dwell around with the Lord, but your reward going to be in the lake of fire if you don't change your ways.

So now keep reading. Go ahead. Verse 10. Go ahead. But they shall eat. Go ahead. And not have enough. He said they shall eat and not have enough. You just don't have just enough to eat. He said they shall eat and not have enough. Go ahead and read. They shall commit hoorde. He said they shall commit whoredom. Go ahead. They shall not increase. But they ain't going to increase. You going to do all of these sins, but where what I'm going to keep you is leveled out. You ain't going to grow and you I might that I might keep you from diminishing a little bit.

Now, he said, "And they and there shall be like people like priests and I will punish them for their ways and reward them for their doings." So now verse 10, go ahead. For they shall eat, go ahead. And not have enough. Go ahead. They shall commit order and shall not increase. Go ahead. because they have left off to take heed to the Lord. They have left off to take heed to the Lord, sisters and brothers. So this what got the 10 tribes in trouble and around 7:22 BC that is when he put the 10 tribes into captivity.

He removed the whale out of the land because of all of the things they was doing. But just keep in mind the 10 tribes had it made. They put two big golden calves, one in Bethl and took the other one and even put it in Dame. So they was always partying hard and they thought they were serving the Lord, but they wasn't. They were serving Bael, sisters and brothers. But now let's go to Isaiah the 24th chapter now. Let's go to Isaiah 24. Isaiah 24. And we going to pick it up at verse one because he just read where the Lord has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land.

So he don't have a controversy with the land. He got a controversy with the people that inhabited the land. That's where the problem is coming for. So now let's go to Isaiah the 24th chapter and we going to pick it up at verse one. Isaiah 24 and we going to pick it up at verse one. Isaiah 24 and1. When you get there, go ahead and read. Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty. Go ahead. And make it waste. Go ahead. And turneth it upside down. He going to like that upside down cake we had yesterday.

That was real good, Elder. That's what we going That's what the Lord said he going to do to the earth. He said, "Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty and maketh it waste." He said, "And turneth it upside down." And what else is he going to do? Go ahead. Scatter abroad the inhabitants thereof. But he is going to scatter abroad the inhabitants thereof. So he going to name everybody. You see one thing about God, he going to get everybody in the road. Even the one that's living righteously because you ain't all the way right.

So sometimes he going to punish you as well. So I'mma get everybody. So now what did he say at verse two? Go ahead. And it shall be. Go ahead. As with the people. So with the priest. So now the people ain't going to get off the hook because they following the priest. So that's how you know. You can't just let no man stand right here and dictate the word of God to you. He might be telling you the truth. He might be lying to you, but even if he is telling you the truth, you still got to go read it for yourself to make sure that what you know is right.

See, one thing we got to understand, we go by what other people taught and this like that. But you got to ask, what does it mean to you? What does that mean to you? So, you got to read it for yourself. So, now he said that it shall be as with the people, so with the priest. Go ahead and read. As with the servant. Go ahead. So with his master, as with the maid, so with her mistress, as with the buyer, so with the seller, as with the lender, so with the borrower.

Go ahead. As the taker of usery, so with the giver of usery to him. Go ahead. The land shall be utterly empty and utterly spoiled. Go ahead. For the Lord has spoken this word. So he ain't going to let he's not going to let the inhabitants of the land off, sisters and brothers. He said the land shall be utterly emptied and utterly spoiled. Now he said for the Lord has spoken this word. Once again we read about the 10 tribes because even though Isaiah had also talked about the coming of the Lord, it was the prophet Isaiah that was also around at the time when the 10 tribes was ruling.

Now so once again you reading about the destruction of the 10 tribes. So now keep reading. Go ahead. Verse four. Go ahead. The earth mourn and fade away. Go ahead. The world laugh and fade away. Go ahead. The hearted people of the earth do language. He said the hearted people of the earth do language. The lifted up people. He said even they going to languish. So now verse five, go ahead. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof. That's the reason why the earth is defiled, sisters and brothers, because the people that live in the land, you got sodommites in the land where they don't supposed to be around.

You got people that's following witchcraft in the world that don't supposed to be around, but they still give. And these people are even protected by the laws of the land through the first amendment of the constitution. They are protected by that. So now, but they didn't supposed to live back in the days of the Lord. So he said the earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof. So now, why is the earth defiled? Go ahead and read. Because they have transgressed the laws. They have transgressed the laws of God. That's the reason why the earth is upside down.

That's why you seeing murders. That's why you seeing killing. That's why you seeing what they want to call natural disasters, but we call them the Lord's disasters, sisters and brothers. Cuz we going to read a little bit about these four sword judgments today. So now keep reading. Go ahead. Changed the ordinance. They has also changed the ordinances, sisters and brothers. And this is the big one. Go ahead and read. Break broken the everlasting covenant. And they have broken the everlasting covenant. See, it ain't but one covenant. Oh Lord, it ain't but one.

And that's none other than the ten commandments, sisters and brothers. And that's the everlasting covenant. That covenant is going to still be around even when Jesus is sitting on the throne. That's that covenant is still going to be here and it's going to last forever. So now let's skip down. Let's skip down to verse nine. Skip down to verse nine and go ahead and read. They shall not drink wine with a song. Go ahead. Strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it. The city of confusion is broken down.

Notice what he called. He called. He called. He said the city of confusion is broken down. Go ahead. Every house is shut up. Go ahead. That no man may come. No, he ain't coming in right here, partner. We don't know. It's like you you all y'all watch them zombie movies when the whole city done became zombies and you got some people that's not zombies. They knocking at the door. They ain't open it too quick because we don't know who you are. You might be infected with something. You might be one of them little devils running around here.

But now keep reading. Go ahead. You know if you really I'm I'm gonna slide this in. When you see those zombie movies like that, the people that are alive in the movies, those people represent uh uh the mysteries, your your your Illuminati kind of people. And everybody else that are zombies, they are the rest of the world. That's what they think of us. They call us the sheeper. We the sheeple because we just follow along with the systems or whatever they go or whatever they throw out there. But now that's that's that's keep reading.

Go ahead. I want to slide that in there. Keep reading. Go ahead. 12. Go ahead. And the city is left desolate and the gate is smitten with destruction. When this is shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the spanking the shaking of olive tree and as the gleaming greatness with the vintage is done. Go ahead. They shall lift up their voice and they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord. Go ahead. They shall cry out loud from the sea. They going to cry out loud from the sea.

But that's going to happen. That's going to happen later on, sisters and brothers. But now, I'm sorry. I I meant I meant for you to read that verse 11, but go ahead. Skip down to verse 17. Read that verse 17 now. Go ahead. The pit and the snare are upon you. Upon you, oh inhabitants of the earth. He said, "Fear and the pit and the snare are upon thee, oh inhabitants of the land." So now let's go to Romans the 6th chapter. Let's go to Romans 6. Now Romans 6. We only going to read one verse right here.

Let's go to Romans 6. Romans 6 and we gonna read verse 23. Romans 6 and we gonna read verse 23. That's the reason why the world is in trouble. So what is God doing at this time? He's killing some people, sisters and brothers. We got people dropping like flies in war all over the world. And the reason why is because of all of the sin that's going on in the world. But let's go now to Romans 6 and we going to pick it up at verse 23. Romans 6 and we going to pick it up at verse 23.

And this going to tell the whole story right here. Romans 6 and pick it up at verse 23. 6 and 23. When you get there, go ahead, elder. For the wages of sin is death. He said, "For the wages of sin is death, sisters and brothers." That's the reason why we got people dying in the world. He said, "For the wages of sin is death." That's your payment. Wages mean your payment now. For the wages of sin is death. Go ahead and read. But the gift of life is of God is eternal life.

But the gift of he said, "But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Sisters and brothers, that's what we going to get in the future. We going to get eternal life. But now let's go to Ezekiel the 18th chapter. Now Ezekiel 18 and we going to pick it up at verse one. Ezekiel 18 and we going to pick it up at verse one. Let's show you what Ezekiel had to say about it. Ezekiel 18 and we going to pick it up at verse one. Ezekiel 18 and1.

When you get there, Elder, go ahead on and read. The word of the Lord came unto me again, saying, Go ahead. What mean ye that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, "The fathers have eaten s." Go ahead. And the children teeth are set on edge. So we going to read about, he said, he said, "What mean you that you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel?" He said, "The fathers have eaten the sour grapes and the children's teeth are set on edge." So back when you go back and look in the Old Testament, the children at one point in time got in trouble for what the what for for for what sins the father had made.

They got in trouble with it. But then once they made that golden calf, the Lord said, "Whosoever sinned against me, that's who is going to die." So now pick it up at verse three. Go ahead. as I live, saith the Lord God, ye shall not have occasion anymore to use this proverb in Israel. So you see what the Lord said, you ain't going to be able to use this occasion anymore. You ain't going to be able to say these things. He said, as I live, sayeth the Lord God, ye shall not have any occasion anymore to use this proverb in Israel.

I'm going to get rid of that. So now, what did he say at verse four? Go ahead and read. Behold, go ahead. All saints are mine. He said all souls are mine. All souls are mine. Go ahead and read. As the souls of the father as also the souls of the sons is mine. Go ahead. The soul that s it shall die. You better hear what God is saying, sisters and brothers. He said all souls are mine. He said as the soul of the father so also is the soul of the son is mine.

But he said the soul that sent it shall die. Whatever soul that go against the Lord that go against the everlasting covenant, that's the soul that the Lord gonna take out. So now, but notice what he said in verse five. Go ahead and read. But if a man be just, go ahead and do that which is lawful and right. But now, if a man be just and he does that which he which is lawful and right. But we ain't going to read all of this. Let's skip down to verse nine.

Let's read a little bit of it. He said, he said in verse five, "But if a man be just and do that which is lawful and right," skip down to verse nine. Let's show you how to be just and lawful and right. Verse nine, go ahead. Have walked in my statutes and have kept my judgments to deal truly. Go ahead. He is just. He is just. Go ahead. He shall surely live, sayeth the Lord God. So that what so what so what is God telling you right here? If you keep my statutes and my judgments, and if you deal truly with me, he said, "He is just, he shall surely live, sayeth the Lord." So when you come to church, this is what you come to church to do.

You come to church to be a better person. Not only to get eternal life, but just look at how you walk there. See, one thing you got to realize about yourself is you got to visit the dark corners in your life. Whatever dark corners that you got to deal with, you got to face them one day. We can point the finger and say all the time what everybody else is doing and we walking in the commandments, but have you stopped and take a real look in the mirror at yourself, what you doing?

Anytime something bad happens to me, I asked the Lord, what am I doing wrong that I might live right before your eyes? You done told my knee up that six months later get to up again and then got my shoulder. So what are you contending with me about? Ask the Lord those questions and don't be shamed about it. face whatever you got to face in the mirror so God can take them dogs off of you and that way you can live justly and just before the Lord. So now keep reading.

Go ahead. Verse 10. If you've got a son that is a robber, a sheriff of blood and doth the light to anyone of these things. So notice what if you if you got a son, you got a lot of mothers like this. They be crying and having visuals once the child died, but they knew that. They knew that son was out there robbing people. They knew how that child was acting before he died. We ain't saying every child is acting like that. But when you look at our teenagers that's in the world now, you got these sons and they out here, they sheders of blood and they robbing people all the time.

He said, "If he begott a son that is a robber, a shedter of blood, and doeth the doeth alike to any one of these things," verse 11, go ahead. "And doeth not any of those duties," and doeth not any of those duties. Now, the duties that we just read about, what it takes for you to be lawful and right and just, he said, he that doeth not any of those duties, but now what? What has he done? Go ahead. But he that have eaten up the mountain, go ahead. and defiles his neighbor's wife.

You know how many women how many men out here defiling their neighbors wives now? You know how many so-called uh uh what they what that woman that was uh the Will uh the Will Smith woman what they call the entanglements. You know how many entanglements are going on in the world right now? It's a whole lot of them. And don't nobody and y'all just as the Lord is my witness. Before we came to class yesterday, I had to stop and get a bag of ice. So, I'm getting I'm getting the ice now.

And the the the it was a man and his girlfriend was standing in line. So, it was another tall nicel looking guy walked in. He had his back turned. She was all in his face trying to and then touched his hand as he walked by and I'm standing right here looking at this woman like what is going on? He buying the food and everything and then she flirting with him while her man is behind her back. So he she walked back to the car. She walked back to the car. The guy got in.

She was trying to steal. Give me your number. Give me. And when she came out, she walked over there and Elvis seen it. Went right over there and start pumping her gas again like she ain't did nothing. You know how many women are doing that to their men in the world? Or how many men doing that? Go out here and be with every woman on the planet and then come back home and kiss their wife dead in the mouth like they ain't did nothing wrong. I love you. You better understand who watching though.

See the Lord is watching all of that. But then he said, he said, "And doeth any one of those duties, but have even uh eat upon the mountains and defiled his neighbor's wife." So now, what else did these people do? Verse 12, go ahead. Have oppressed the poor and the needy, that has spoiled by violence. Go ahead. Have not restored the pledge. They have not restored the pledge. Go ahead. And have lifted up his eyes to the idol. Go ahead. have committed abominations, have given forth upon usery, and have taken increase, shall he then live?

Ask yourself that, should he live? So when you see people that's died and they doing these acts, what you read about, God is asking you this question. Now, he said he have given forth upon usery. He said also, he said also have taken his increase. He said, shall he then live? So what did God say? Go ahead. shall not live. He shall not live. He shall not live. Go ahead. He shall He have done all this abomination. Go ahead. He shall surely die. He shall surely die. So if you have done all of these abominations what we have just read about, God said he shall surely die.

Sisters and brothers, the Lord said it. Go ahead and read. His blood shall be upon him. His blood shall be upon him. That means that you going to die in blood. That's why he said his blood shall be upon him. But now let's skip down to verse 20. Let's skip down to verse 20. Go ahead and read. The soul descend. Go ahead. It shall die. It's it's point blanket. Period. No matter who he is, no matter who she is, no matter how much you love him, no matter how much they love you, he said the soul that said it, it shall die, sisters and brothers.

So God has given it to you point blank and period. The only thing you can do is pray for your loved ones. But later on, they going to be h have they gonna have to make their own decisions. That's why I was so careful with my son. I didn't just throw the word at him. Throw the word at him. Throw the word at him. You watch the example at home. So once they get around that tender age of 16 because between the ages of 16, right at 19, before they turn 20, that's when you going to find out what that child going to be about.

Because 19 is right before they turn 20. And when they turn 20, they going to be on their own at that time. They sins ain't going to fall on you no more. It's going to fall on them. That's why you got to teach the children now. And don't overbear when you teach them. Just let them watch you. Let them do it. Are they Are is he loving his wife? Okay. I saw my dad doing it and one day I'mma do it. One day I saw my father doing this. I ain't going to do it either.

I saw my father didn't eat no pork, so I ain't going to weed none either because my father didn't teach me to do that. And Lord and behold, don't come in here and be and and you got we even got some children that are gay out here now. We even got to deal with that. You know how many son uh fathers threw the ball around with their sons when they were young, but then when they get in the 12th grade, he son putting his dress on because he want to go to go to the prom dressed as a woman.

You know how many fathers got to deal with that? You know how hurtful that is to see your son and he [laughter] go ahead and read I tell my son please listen man I can deal with anything don't come here say man I love a man don't come here saying but now he said he said he said the soul that sent it shall die but now uh go ahead verse 20 go ahead the son shall not bear the iniquity of his father the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father I ain't going down away from the same rabbit hole that my father went down.

I'mma do something different. I knew what the men in my family taught me to do. The men in my family taught me to sew your royal oats. Go out. Don't settle down. Get as many women as you can and don't and get married when you get older. Then you will be ready. If you Hey, you need to be ready to get married. Now, if you sleeping with that woman, so now keep reading, Elder, go ahead. In the middle of 20, go ahead. Neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son.

Go ahead. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him. Go ahead. And the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. So if you going to be righteous, Revelations tell you what? To be righteous still. And he that is wicked, let him be wicked still. See, I give people two chances. After two chances at it, because that's what we do in the book. That's what the Bible teaches. He said, "A one one or two admonitions correct the brother. After that, you got to leave them alone cuz anything else you casting your pearl before swine." So now keep reading.

Go ahead. 41. Go ahead. But if the wicked will turn away from all his sins that he have committed, go ahead. And keep all the statutes and do that which is lawful and right. Go ahead. He shall surely live. Go ahead. He shall not die. So you heard what God telling you. If God want the wicked to turn, you was wicked at one point in time in your life. We were all wicked. We were all doing things that was contrary to the everlasting covenant. All of us were. So not only he said, "But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he had committed and keep all my statutes and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live.

He shall not die." Sisters and brothers, verse 22, go ahead. All his transgressions that he have committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him. Go ahead. In his righteousness that he hath done. Go ahead. He shall live. He shall live. So you ain't got to get before the Lord and you get you'll get around a friend. a friend to bring up your past in a minute and you'll be like, "Uh, stop. Uh, we ain't going to go there." So, you ain't got to worry about that with God. God ain't going to bring your past up at all.

He ain't going to remember nothing that you have done. The only thing he is going to remember is that you walked in his ordinances and kept his laws. That's what God is looking at. So now, let's show you how God feel about if the wicked die. Verse 23. Go ahead. Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? Go ahead. saith the Lord God, and not that he shall return from his ways and live. Go ahead. But when the righteous turn away from his righteousness, he said, but when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, now go ahead and read.

And commit iniquity, and he commit iniquity, go ahead. And doth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, go ahead. He shall live. He said, he said, "Shall he live? Shall he live? Shall he live?" So now, what? So what did God say about it? Go ahead. All his righteousness that he had done, go ahead, shall not be missed. All of that good stuff you did, all of that stuff that you did that you gave up that you came back to the Lord for and then all of a sudden you forgot about it and you let those demons come back into your tabernacle or back into your house.

Everything that you have done righteously shall not be remembered anymore. That's what that means. You going to die in your sin. So what did God say about it? Go ahead. All his righteousness that he have done shall not be mentioned. Go ahead. And his trespass that he have trespassed [snorts] and his sins that he shall have sinned. Go ahead. In them shall he die. In them shall he die. And shall he die. So God is telling you point blank how he feels about the situation. That's why you want to be what?

You want to be like what Paul said in Hebrews the 10th chapter. You don't want to be like those that draw back into predition. But believe to the saving of the soul. Sisters and brothers, you got to believe and have the faith unto the saving of the soul. So now, uh, let's skip down to verse 30. Skip down to verse 30 and go ahead and read. Therefore, what I will judge you, oh house of Israel, go ahead. Everyone according to his ways, saith the Lord God. Go ahead. Repent. This is the main thing as being a man or a woman of God.

He said, repent. Go ahead and read. Turn yourselves from all your transgressions. But you got to turn yourselves from all of your transgressions. You got to turn from it. But I notice one thing. The when I cry, I cry because of things that's going on in the world. You can't keep crying all the time about you because that's not godly repentance. You can cry all you want. The only way to get true repentance from God is for you to turn away from all of the sins and transgressions that you have committed.

And the only way to do that sometime is to not cry about it. You got to stay strong. You got to stay strong through a walk that's so hard because it's not easy to do this. It's not easy to hold on and to have discipline over your life. But that's what a disciple is. So now God said, "Repent and turn yourselves from all your transgressions." Go ahead and read. So iniquity shall not be your ruin. So iniquity shall not be your ruin, sisters and brothers. So now verse 31, go ahead.

Cast away from you. Cast away from you all your transgressions. Yes, sir. Whereby ye have transgressed and take you a new heart? He said, and make you a new heart. Make you a new heart. Go ahead. And a new spirit. So wait a minute now. Who's making up new heart right here? God or you? You. You are. You got to write them in your You got to do it. God don't do it later, but you got to do it right now. He said, "Cast away from you all your transgresses, whereby you have transgressed, and make you a new heart and a new spirit." Go ahead and read.

For why would ye why will ye die, oh house of Israel? Go ahead. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that died. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that died. Go ahead and read. Say the Lord God. Go ahead. Wherefore turn yourselves and live ye. Therefore, turn yourselves and live. Sisters and brothers, you got to turn yourself and live. So God don't want to kill nobody that's wicked. Believe it or not, the Lord he wouldn't have killed Adolf Hitler had he had he repented from all of his ways.

But being the fact that you don't repent from it, God don't have to kill you or he don't have no pleasure in that. So now let's go to St. Luke the 13th chapter. Now let's go to St. Luke 13 and we gonna pick it up at verse one. St. Luke 13 and we gonna pick it up at verse one. We read this not too long ago, but let's go back and read it again because during the time of Jesus' day, there was a catastrophe that happened on me that happened in Jerusalem.

But see, God going to have a message for the people. Now, so now let's go to St. Luke 13 and we are going to pick it up at verse one. These was the Galileans. St. Luke 13 and we are going to pick it up at verse one. St. Luke 13 and1. So now when you get there round, go ahead and read. There were present at that season some that told him of the Galileans. Go ahead. Whose blood Pilot had mingled with their sacrifice. So now whose blood pilot had that mingle with their sacrifices?

So they was making some sacrifices, but Pilate was killing them. So he said Pilot, he said whose blood pilot had mixed with their sacrifices. So now verse two, go ahead. Because Pilate wasn't playing around. That's why they sent Jesus the body and the killer. But now verse two, go ahead. And Jesus answering said unto him, go ahead. Suppose ye that the Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans. Go ahead. Because they suffer so much things. Because they suffer so much things now. So he says, "Suppose ye that those Galileans which were sinners now above all the other Galileans because they suffer such things because they must had a bad thing that happened to them." But now let's pick it up at verse three.

Verse three and go ahead and read. I tell you nay. He said, "I tell you nay," go ahead. But except ye repent. He said, "But except ye repent," go ahead. Ye shall all likewise perish. Ye shall all likewise perish, sisters and brothers, if you do not repent. So now keep reading. Go ahead. Are these 18 upon the whom the the tower of shalom fell and slew them? Then you that were sinners above all the men that dwelleth in Jerusalem. Go ahead. Tell you. He said, I tell you n Go ahead.

But except ye repent. He said, but except you repent, go ahead. Ye shall all likewise perish. So now he told them the same thing. He said, "But except you and repent," he said, "You shall all likewise perish, sisters and brothers." But now pick it up at verse two of verse six and go ahead. He spake also this parable. A certain man had a fig tree planted in the vineyard and he came and saw fruit there on. Go ahead. And found none. This is another parable that Jesus gave, sisters and brothers, that's very important.

So this is the parable of the fig tree. We read it a lot, but let's make some sense out of it. He said he spake also this parable. He said, "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard." Go ahead. And he came and and saw fruit thereon and found none. But now verse seven, go ahead. Then said he upon unto the dresser of the vine. Go ahead. Behold, these three years I've come seeking fruit upon this fig tree, and found none. Go ahead. Cut it down. Why cumberly it the ground?

He said, "Why cumber cometh it the ground?" Now he said, he said unto the dresser of the vineyard, "Behold, these three years I came seeking fruit on this fig tree and found none." He said, "Cut it down. Why come it to the ground? Why leave it standing?" This was the father speaking out because see what God is doing is giving you time to get it right. But I done been at you one year, two year, three years, and I come to find fruit on this tree, but I find no fruit on this tree at all.

That means you just walking around living and you not caring about what you doing for the Lord. So now keep reading. Go ahead. And he answered answering him, saying unto him, go ahead, Lord, let it alone this year also till I shall dig about it and d it. Till I shall dig about it and d it. Now, so this is Jesus talking to the father. He said, "Don't cut it down yet, Lord." He said, "Let's give it one more chance now. Let's give it one more chance." Go ahead and read.

And if it bear fruit, well, he said, "But if it bear fruit, well, go ahead." And if not, then after that, thou shalt cut it down. So once Jesus can't save you no more, he can't save you no more. He got to let the father step in now. He got to let the father do what he said because Jesus said we gonna give him one more year. So obviously he came back again and it was no fruit that was on this tree. So he said and if it bear fruit well and if not then after that thou shalt cut it down.

So now verse 10 go ahead and read. And he was teaching in one of the s synagogues on the Sabbath day. So we kind of threw that in for a little flavor. Sisters and brothers. Jesus was teaching in the synagogue on the Sabbath day not on the first day of the week. So now we got to make sure that the people understand that. So now let's go to Proverbs 29. Proverbs 29. And we going to read one verse right here. Let's go to Proverbs 29. And we going to pick it up at verse one.

And you going to see this again. God is not going to keep correcting you. You either going to change and do right or you going to stay in the same misery that you are. you going to die in because one thing we think sin sin is good for a moment but then once you find out how you treating your body and the things you doing you ain't going to love it the way that you used to sisters and brothers there is no way that I can do the things that I was doing when I was 30 years old knowing that I'm 50 now it's got it got to be a change in you sisters and brothers and that's what God want you to do God just want you to change but now let's go to Proverbs 29 Proverbs 29 and we going to Read one verse right here.

Proverbs 29 and we are going to pick it up at verse one. Proverbs 29 and1. Go ahead and read. He that been often reproved harden his neck. He said, "He that been often reproved harden his neck." That's you stiff neck. You like you almost like you your whole body just arthritis down. You just stiff. He said he that being off the reprove harden his neck. What's going to happen to him? Go ahead. sudden shall suddenly be destroyed. Go ahead. And without remedy. He said and that without remedy. He said he that being author reprove harden his neck shall suddenly be destroyed.

And that without remedy, sisters and brothers, God ain't going to keep slapping you on the hand. He ain't going to keep telling you don't do it. Don't do it. But then you turn around and you do it anyway. That's what's going that God gonna get you for that. So now let's go back to Proverbs the seventh chapter. Now, Proverbs 7 and we going to pick it up at verse one. Proverbs 7 and we going to pick it up at verse one. We ain't going to deal with too much of a hard lesson today.

We did all that yesterday. But these are the lessons that we need to get right, sisters and brothers. It's good to know about the trumpets and when they going to be blown and stuff like that. But one thing I had to learn to be was a better person. And there's nothing wrong with being a better person. You used to fornicate. You don't fornicate no more. You used to lie. You don't lie no more. Everything is right within you. That's the way you want to be with with with God. So now, let's go to Proverbs 7.

Proverbs 7. And we going to pick it up at verse one. Let's go to Proverbs 7 now. And we going to pick it up at verse one. Proverbs 7 and1. Let's show you what God talked about with the commandments. Sisters and brothers. Proverbs 7 and1. Go ahead and read. My son, go ahead. keep my words and lay up my commandments with thee. He said, notice what he said. He said, my son, keep my words and lay up my commandments with thee. Now, so now I I I told you this verse ver verse three.

Go ahead. Keep my commandments and live. Go ahead. And my law as the apple of thy eye. Go ahead. Bind up the upon thy fingers. He said, bind them upon thy fingers. Go ahead. Write them upon the table of thy heart. So now once again now he said bow them upon thy fingers and you got to write them upon the tables of your heart. The first time the Lord wrote all this stuff down on two tables of stone but now you got to write these things upon the table of your heart.

So now verse four go ahead and read say unto wisdom say unto wisdom go ahead that art my sister go ahead and call understanding like kinsmen. So what he So what so so why is God saying this now? You can't. He said, he didn't say, "Say unto wisdom, thou art my friend, and call understanding thy kinsw woman." Because a friend can come and go. But when you got a sister or when you got somebody that's kin to you, they going to be with you forever. And you got, you know, these people more, you got to love them.

But that's what God want you to do with these commandments, sisters and brothers. Say unto wisdom, "Thou art my sister, and call understanding thy kinswoman." Verse five, go ahead. That they may keep thee from the strange woman. He said that they may keep thee from the strange woman. Now go ahead and read. From the stranger which flatter with her her words. And from the stranger which flatterth with her words. You know how many men that has gotten in trouble because of women. You know how many adulterous women, strange women have taken men down to the ground.

So now keep reading. Go ahead. that they may keep the from the strange woman from the strange woman which flattered with her words. For at the window of my house, I look through my pacement and beheld among the simple ones. He said he and he said and beheld among the but he he said beheld among the simple ones. Go ahead and read. I concern among the youth a young man boy of understanding. And he always get them young sisters and brothers. That's why we got to strengthen the children while they are young.

So at this point in time, he said, "I beheld among the simple ones and discerned among the youth." He said, "A young man void of understanding." Verse eight, go ahead. Passing through the streets near her corner, and he went the way up to her house in the twilight, in the evening, and in the black and dark night. And behold, there met him A woman with a tower of a harlot and ship tail of heart. Go ahead. She is loud and stubborn. She is loud and stubborn. Go ahead. Her feet abide not in her house.

Oh, cut cut that down a little bit, Ella. He said he said in the He said passing through the streets near her corner and he went into her house. Keep reading. Go ahead. Not as if she's without. He said go ahead. Now she is without. now in the streets life in weight at every corner. So, so she caught him and kissed him and within in hurting faith she said unto him, I have peace offerings with me. This day that I pray, I pay my vow. Go ahead. Therefore, can came can I forth to meet thee, diligent to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

Go ahead. I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry with covered with carved works with fine linen of Egypt. Go ahead. I have perfumed my bed with my alo and sentiment. Come let us take our field of love until the morning. Go ahead. Let us solace ourselves with love. So now he said come let us take our field of love until the morning. Now let us solace ourselves. Let us solace ourselves with love. So now notice what she said at verse 19. Go ahead. For the good man is not at home.

He said, for the good man is not at home. Go ahead. He has gone on a long journey. He has gone on a long journey. Go ahead. He have taken a bag of money with him and will come home at the damn point. With her with with her much fair speech she calls him to yield. Wow. With the flattering of her lips, she forced him. She goth after him straight way as a ox go to the swab or as a fool to the correction of the stop. Go ahead. Till a dark strike through his liver, as a bird hastened to the snare, and knoweth not that he knoweth not that it is his it is for his life.

Go. Verse 24. Go ahead. Hearken unto me now therefore, oh you children, and attend to the words of my mouth. Go ahead. Let my heart decline, No. Let not let let not thy heart decline to her ways. Not straightway to her path. Start it over. Verse 25. Go ahead. Let not thy heart decline to her ways. Not straight as straight to her path. Go ahead. For she had cast down many wounds. She had cast down many wounded. Go ahead. Yay. Many strong men have been slain by her. Go ahead. Her house is the way to hell.

Going down to the chambers of death. That's what the adulterous woman is, sisters and brothers. So he don't want you to follow after that. So the only way for you not to follow after the prostitutes and women of the night or for that matter, you got to make sure that you stay close to the Lord. out. So in verse 27, he said, "A house is the way to hell going down to the chambers of death." So now let's go to Ecclesiastics the 9th chapter. Now let's go to Ecclesiastics 9 and we going to pick it up at verse three.

Ecclesiastics 9 and we going to pick it up at verse three. Let's show you what the Lord got to say here, sisters and brothers. Ecclesiastics 9 and we are going to pick it up at verse three. We going to talk a little bit about death now and we going to talk about the righteous and we going to also talk about the living. So now let's go to Ecclesiastics 9 and we going to pick it up at verse three. Ecclesiastics 9 and three. When you get there, go ahead and read. This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun.

That there is one event to all unto all. Yeah. Also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil. That's what it is. Now he said this is an evil among all things that are done under the sun that there is one event unto all. Now go ahead and read and the madness is in their heart while they live. Go ahead. And after that they go to the dead. So that's what happened to you when you die sisters and brothers. But now he said this is an evil among all things that are done under the sun that there is one event unto all.

Yay. Also, the hearts of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. But now, keep reading. Go ahead. But to him that is joined to all the living there is hope. See, that's why that's the hope, sisters and brothers. That's why I don't really care how old you are. That's why we love Haden Hall so much. It's a whole lot of old people that's in Haden Hall. But see, he said, "For him that is joined to all the living, there is hope." Keep reading.

your head. For a living dog is better than a dead lion. For a living dog is better than a dead lion, sisters and brothers. As long as you alive, you got to realize you got hope to change. And we have seen people that's in their older age. That's changing, sisters and brothers. So as long as you are alive, then you got a chance to turn back to the Lord. So now keep reading. Go ahead. Verse five. Go ahead. For the living know that they shall die. See, that's what we know.

He said, "For the living know that they shall die." Go ahead and read. "But the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward. For the memory of them is forgotten." Go ahead. Also, their love and their hatred, and their envy is now perish. So now you ain't got no dead people in your family that done came back to a life, and they hung you. Now, we done all heard stories like that before. So once you die, that is it. And once you wake up, it's going to be the judgment.

So there ain't nobody that's died and they came back with a with a with a dead soul and they hunt people in hunt houses. It don't work like that sisters and brothers. He said in verse six, he said also their love and their hatred and their envy is now perished. So now keep reading now. Go ahead. Have any more ports forever in anything that is done under the sun. Anything that's done under the sun. So now skip down to verse 11. Verse 11 and go ahead. I returned and saw under the sun.

So I want everybody to pay attention to what we getting ready to read right here. He said, I returned and saw under the sun. Go ahead and read. That the race is not to the swift. The race is not to the swift. Go ahead and read. No, the battle to the strong. Nor the battle to the strong. You might be weak, but see in the end because you strong that don't mean you going to win the battle because you're strong. And he gonna tell you why. Go ahead. Neither yet bread to the wise, nor riches to the men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill.

Go ahead. For time and chance happen to them all. For men also knoweth not this time, as the fish that are taken in an evil net, as the birds that are caught in the snare. Go ahead. So are the sons of men snared in an evil time. Go ahead. when it fall suddenly upon them. When it fall suddenly upon them, sisters and brothers, you think the guy that played off in the fire heartbeat, you think he would have woke up today and would have known that he would have died. He but he dead.

See, we don't know what's going to happen. So he said, he said, "For man also knoweth not his time as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, so are the sons of men snared in an evil time." Now, when it fall suddenly upon them, sisters and brothers, let's go back to Ecclesiastics 7. Ecclesiastics 7 and we going to pick it up at verse one. Ecclesiastics 7 and we going to pick it up at verse one. So, we want everybody pay attention to what what he is getting ready to say in this first verse.

Ecclesiastics 7 and pick it up at verse one. When you get there, go ahead, Elder. A good name is better than precious. A good name is better than precious ointment. Go ahead. And the day of death than the day of one's birth. Go ahead. We don't look at it that way, but God look at it differently. So now verse two, go ahead. It is better to go to the house of mourning.

Let's go to Ezekiel 14 and we go pick it up at verse 21.

The famine and the famine, "The nosless beast and the pestilence to cut off from it man and beast." Go ahead.

Yet behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth. And I want us to be that remnant, sisters and brothers. We a small remnant, but we know we doing one thing right, and that's the gospel. It's going to be somebody in every remnant that's going to go to truth. And I had an elder from another class that told me that when he was in Jerusalem at that time, he said, "Man, the way you explaining, he said, it's going to always be a small remnant that's going to know exactly what's going on, and we want to make sure that it's us."

I said, I pray that the Lord have mercy because I know exactly how this man cheated all over his wife. So, I'm not going I'm not going to I'm not going to give you a proper reward when you die.

And I know that you ain't living right in this word of God. Because we already that we just read that the wages of sin is death. And when God take people away, you got to realize what he has done, he has not done without cause what he has done to the people. So, you ain't gonna get you gonna get a straight up answer from Oiah. If you walk white, let's say some we lose one of our elders or mothers or children in here, I know what to say. But if I know you've been in the word and you've been out here cutting up all in the world, you ain't going to hear nothing out of me, sisters and brothers.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness. like me with my Bible.

I be doing everything in the righteousness of men whose the truth is unrighteousness because they which may be known of God is manifest in them. For God has shown them unto them, has shown them unto them. For the visible things of him, for the creation of the earth of the world, are clearly seen, being understand by the things that are made, even the eternal power in Godhead. Go ahead. So that they that are without excuse. Go ahead. Because they because that which they knew God, they glorified him. not as God, neither were they thankful, but because vain in they became vain in their imaginations and foolishness and foolish hearts were darkened.

Go ahead. And worship and serve the creature more than the creator who is blessed forever and ever, who is blessed forever and ever. Amen. Go ahead. For the cause of God gave them up unto a vile affection. For even their women did change their natural use into that which is against nature.

Go ahead. Verse 28.

He said, "But thou that judges, you do the same things." You tell people not to do it, but then you turn around and lying and doing the same thing that you telling the people not to do. So now verse two, go ahead. But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to the truth against them which commit these such things. So notice what he said. He said, "But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things." So if you go back and think about what we read off in Ezekiel the 14th chapter when he said you shall be confident when you know what they have done and and when you see the evil of their ways.

You know God done killed these people for a reason. Now so now keep reading verse three. Go ahead. And think thou this. Oh man, thou judgeth them which do such things and do the same.
