This is a feast day lesson from Israel Church of the Firstborn in Indianapolis, taught on the Memorial of the Blowing of the Trumpets, the feast of the seventh month. Brother Obadiah teaches the day two ways. First the old way, where the Lord commanded Israel to make two silver trumpets and blow them at the beginning of their months, on their solemn feast days, and when they went out to war. Then the future the day points to, where seven angels stand before God with seven trumpets in their hands, and every trumpet they sound makes it worse on the earth until the seventh one brings back the Lord. He traces those seven angels from the seven lamps in the tabernacle, to the seven golden candlesticks in Revelation, to the six men with slaughter weapons in Ezekiel. It is a day of rejoicing, he says, because this day represents your salvation. Every passage is read in the King James Version.

1.Blow Up the Trumpet in the New Moon
He opens where the day is commanded to be a day of rejoicing. Psalm the eighty-first chapter calls for a joyful noise, a timbrel and a harp, and a trumpet blown in the new moon on the solemn feast day, and calls it a statute for Israel.
Psalm 81:1-4 KJV1Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
2Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
3Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
4For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
"For those that do not know, we are dealing with the memorial of the blowing of the trumpets today, the feast of the seventh month. And the Lord said, Blow up the trumpet in the new moon. Moon comes from the word month, and what makes the month new is once you count thirty days. He wanted us to sound this alarm in our holy assembly and on our holy day."
"God want you to rejoice on this day, and we going to show you why. This is going to be the day that represents the salvation of man. It is going to be a lot that is going to happen on this day. You going to see the seventh trumpet blown. You going to see the Lord come back. You going to see the dead rise in Christ. And you going to see the oppressed Israel return back home."
"He said, Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob. So let's show you where he made this a statute for Israel and a law of the God of Jacob."
That statute is in Numbers the tenth chapter. The Lord tells Moses to make two trumpets of silver for calling the assembly and for the journeying of the camp.
Numbers 10:1-3 KJV1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.
3And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
"Make thee two trumpets of silver, of a whole piece shalt thou make them, that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps. And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So once they blew them, everybody had to come before the Lord."
But the same chapter puts the trumpet in Israel's hand for war, and for the beginning of their months. This is the piece he wants the church to hold onto, because the day is about war and about being remembered before God.
Numbers 10:9-10 KJV9And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
10Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.
"If ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets, and ye shall be remembered before the Lord your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies. That is what the children of Israel did in the Old Testament when they went to war against their oppressors. Once they blew these trumpets, the Lord was going to be remembered of them. And what else did it say? Ye shall be saved from your enemies. You got to understand what save mean. The Lord is in the business of saving his people."
"Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months. So new moon just mean new month, because he going to say the same thing right here. Ye shall blow with the trumpets, that they may be to you for a memorial before your God. I am the Lord your God."
2.Upon the First Day of the Seventh Month
Nehemiah the eighth chapter shows the nation coming back to the law after the temple was rebuilt, and the date they gathered on is the same date the church is keeping.
Nehemiah 8:1-3 KJV1And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.
2And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.
3And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law.
"Let's go back to when they had rebuilded the temple and they found the book of the law of the Lord and started getting everything back in order. That is what we trying to do with the nation now. That is why we are calling trumpets on the scriptural calendar way, and not the lunar or the solar way, because we want the people to get back in order. The Lord's calendar is scriptural and numerical. The only thing that God want you to do is count."
"And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month. That is when they did it. And he read therein from the morning until midday. I know my lessons be long, but I know they don't be this long. They was in the book all day."
Then comes the instruction he says the saints most need on a feast day. The people wept when they heard the law, and the Levites told them to stop.
Nehemiah 8:9-12 KJV9And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.
10Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.
11So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved.
12And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.
"This day is holy unto the Lord your God. Mourn not, nor weep. We all got a lot of problems going on right now because we human, we alive, we trying to keep the commandments of the Lord. So we all going through something, whether it is physically or spiritually. One thing God want you to do is don't mourn on this day. Whatever you have been going through, one day you need to put all of that to the side for the Lord."
"Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared. Neither be ye sorry, for the joy of the Lord is your strength. That is where your strength is. If you ain't joying in the Lord you ain't got no strength at all, because we all suffering. So the joy of the Lord is your strength, and it says it right here in the Bible."
"Once you start opening up your mind to the understanding of this book, you going to read in the law of God and it might make you cry. Sometimes when I put lessons together I be crying, because I understand what God is doing and what he is doing with his plan. Satan going to tell you not to read. The only thing he going to tell you is that you are not good enough. So make sure that you don't have the spirit of slumber."
Then to Leviticus the twenty-third chapter, the chapter that names the feasts of the Lord as holy convocations, which he says he stops in every day.
Leviticus 23:1-4 KJV1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
3Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
4These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
"These are my feasts. These are the feasts of the Lord, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. That mean everything to me. I eat, sleep, and drink Leviticus the twenty-third chapter day and night. It is not a day that goes by that I don't stop in that chapter at some point."
"Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation, it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings. The Lord knew that Israel wasn't going to stay in the land, so you got to keep not only the weekly Sabbath but the annual feast days as well. No matter what nation you are in, you still got to keep the feast days the exact same way they kept them back in Jerusalem."
And here is the day itself, named in the law: a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation on the first day of the seventh month.
Leviticus 23:23-25 KJV23And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
24Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
25Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
"In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. So this is a high Sabbath. You don't do no work, you don't go to your job, none of this, because this day is holy unto the Lord."
"Ye shall do no servile work therein, but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord. And we all know that Jesus came and took that away. But if you paid attention, when we read in Numbers, they blew the trumpet over what? Over their burnt offerings and over their peace offerings."
3.The Seven Lamps Inside the Tabernacle
Now he goes back into the tabernacle, because he says what was in the most holy place is a picture of what is going on in the third heaven. First the ark, the mercy seat, and the two cherubims.
Exodus 25:17-22 KJV17And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
18And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
19And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
20And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.
21And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
22And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.
"Thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold. This mercy seat represents the throne of God. And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, in the two ends of the mercy seat, and their faces shall look one to another. These two cherubims represent the way that the Lord traveled. If you go read in Genesis the third chapter, once the Lord put Adam and Eve out, you had God and you had the two angels sent on both sides of the Lord, and they protected the tree of life, because that is the way that God traveled."
"And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony."
Then the candlestick, six branches out of the sides and one in the middle, seven lamps in all. Those seven lamps are the whole key to the lesson.
Exodus 25:31-37 KJV31And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same.
32And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side:
33Three bowls made like unto almonds, with a knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick.
34And in the candlestick shall be four bowls made like unto almonds, with their knops and their flowers.
35And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick.
36Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold.
37And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it.
"And six branches shall come out of the sides of it, three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches out of the other side. So you got these six branches that proceed out of the candlestick, and you had one standing in the middle of them, because it is going to be seven of them in all."
"And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof. When you look at what was inside of the tabernacle, you had the holy place and then you had the most holy place, and you had the altar of incense, the seven lamps, and the horns of the altar where they sprinkled the blood. When you look at these things, this is a representation of what was going on in the third heaven. So these seven lamps is going to represent these seven angels that is going to blow the trumpets in the future."
4.The Seven Golden Candlesticks Before the Lord
Revelation the first chapter takes the same candlesticks up into heaven, and John sees one like unto the Son of man standing in the middle of them.
Revelation 1:12-18 KJV12And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
17And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
18I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
"And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks. Remember the candlesticks we saw in Exodus the twenty-fifth chapter. And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man. Them seven golden candlesticks, they are always before the Lord, but they also go to and fro in the earth to report back to God what is going on."
"His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were as a flame of fire. Think about the spiritual realm. We ain't talking about nobody being drunk off a couple of beers and getting some red eyes. We talking about something that we do not understand right now."
"And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace. If you read verse fifteen, God is telling you even what color he is. This is letting you know that the Lord is black, because he come out of the children of Israel. But it really don't matter what color he is, as long as he get me in the kingdom."
"And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. When you walk up on the Lord, I don't care how bad you are, you going to fall down at his feet, because you going to be like, this is him right here. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not, I am the first and the last. I am he that liveth, and was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore, and have the keys of hell and of death."
Zechariah the fourth chapter is the vision that names them. Zechariah was a priest who knew the temple, and even he did not know what he was looking at.
Zechariah 4:1-6 KJV1And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
2And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
3And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
5Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
6Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
"I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon. This is what we read about in Exodus. And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. Zechariah is a priest, so he knew what was in the temple of the Lord, but all of a sudden he saw these two olive trees standing by the side. So he asked, What are these, my lord? I am always in the temple, I am the high priest, I never seen these in the temple before."
"This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. That is what you got to understand about God. You ain't going to do nothing by your own power or your own might, and neither are you in this life. Everything that you do, the Lord is giving you the power to do it."
And then the verse he has been building toward: those seven are the eyes of the Lord.
Zechariah 4:9-10 KJV9The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
10For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
"The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, his hands shall also finish it. They shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven. So these seven angels got a few jobs. They go to and fro in the earth. They kill when the Lord want them to kill. And they going to also have Zerubbabel build this temple of the Lord when he come back."
"They are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth. See, they not like the fallen angels. The fallen angels need a vessel to run in. That is the reason why, when they cast the demons out, they said, if we can't be off in this man, then cast us into the swine. They got to go somewhere. But these are holy, and they stay in that same spiritual realm with the thunder and the lightnings going up and down their bodies."
Before the trumpets there are the seals. Revelation the fifth chapter opens with a book no man was found worthy to open, and John weeping over it.
Revelation 5:1-2 KJV1And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
"And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. The seals are different from the trumpets, but let's read about the seals first. And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy. See how he cried when he couldn't get all of the knowledge? That is how you got to thirst for knowledge."
The Lion of the tribe of Judah prevails to open it, and when he is described, the seven show up again as seven horns and seven eyes.
Revelation 5:5-10 KJV5And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
9And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
"Weep not, behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. Once again we back to these seven angels again."
"And they had every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. That is what the incense altar represented. When they lit the incense altar, that smoke went up to God as a prayer of the saints. Those were the sweet odours."
"Thou hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation. Once you understand the true and living God you can't play me with that black against white thing. Don't fall too far down that Hebrew rabbit hole, because the further you fall down, you going to run into the Kabbalah, or the Zohar, or the Talmud, where they say the only people that is going to be saved is going to be God's people."
"And hast made us unto our God kings and priests, and we shall reign on the earth. So don't let nobody tell you no more you going to heaven. No you ain't. The kingdom going to be right here. He said they shall reign on the earth."
5.These Same Angels Have Slain for God Before
To show what these seven are capable of, he goes to Ezekiel, where the Lord walks the prophet through the abominations in his own house right before he destroyed it.
Ezekiel 8:14-18 KJV14Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
15Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
16And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD’s house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
17Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
18Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
"Israel got way off track with the Lord. They start dealing with all kind of pagan gods. They start dealing with Baal, they start dealing with Ashtaroth, they start dealing with Saturn, and Saturn is the devil. When you deal with Baal worship, Baal is the worship of the sun and the moon and the stars together. That is what Baal worship really represent."
"And behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. We know Tammuz was also the son of what they call Isis and Osiris. Back in Egypt they had called him Horus, but later on down the line they started calling him Tammuz, and Tammuz represented the sun god."
"About five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east, and they worshipped the sun toward the east. Everything the Lord told them in Deuteronomy the fourth chapter not to do, not to deal with the constellations, that is exactly what Israel started doing. And they do it now, unfortunately, every Sunday. But do not hate the vessel. You got to hate the spirit that is behind the vessel. Anytime Jesus cast anybody out the church, he didn't cast the person out, he cast the devil out, and he let the person stay in."
"Therefore will I also deal in fury, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them. That is one thing you don't want to do with the Lord. You don't want to be crying to the Lord and the Lord don't hear you."
Then Ezekiel the ninth chapter, where the Lord calls them in. Six men come with slaughter weapons, and one man among them is clothed with linen and carries a writer's inkhorn. Six and one is seven.
Ezekiel 9:1-6 KJV1He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
2And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.
3And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer’s inkhorn by his side;
4And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
5And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
6Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
"Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, every man with his destroying weapon in his hand. He getting ready to talk to these seven angels, and they getting ready to destroy for the Lord. And behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate. Remember the six candlesticks? These six men represents angels. Sometimes when you read in the Bible they call angels men."
"And they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar. But where did they put the candlesticks in the tabernacle of the congregation? Right before the brasen altar, the horns of the altar where they sprinkled the blood. What you just read was the exact same way the tabernacle was laid out back in the days of Moses."
"Go through the midst of the city, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. Before he destroyed the city, God said, I want you to mark the men that sigh and that cry. Before I destroy this city, I am getting ready to save the ones that believe in the Lord. It is the same way he did in Exodus the fourteenth chapter, when he told Israel to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord."
"Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women, but come not near any man upon whom is the mark. That is how God see it. These are soldiers, and soldiers take orders. Whatever order they get from their general, they are going to see it through. When these angels get a commandment from the Lord, they going to kill whoever stand in their way."
And the seventh, the man with the inkhorn, reports back.
Ezekiel 9:11 KJV11And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
"And behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me. He is the one that made up the seven, and he is the one that reported back to God."
6.And the Seven Angels Prepared Themselves to Sound
Now the title verse. The seventh seal is opened, there is silence in heaven, and the seven angels who stand before God are handed seven trumpets.
Revelation 8:1-6 KJV1And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
2And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
3And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
4And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.
5And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
"And I saw the seven angels which stood before God. Them seven golden candlesticks. And to them were given seven trumpets. And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer, and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne."
"Every prayer that you prayed to the Lord for, at this time they going to come up before him as a memorial. It is going to come up as a sweet savour, because he going to remember all of your prayers."
"And there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. That is how it is going to be when the Lord come back. Think about Mount Sinai, when the Lord came down and spoke to the children of Israel and it was thunders and lightnings and voices. The same way that God descended in Exodus nineteen, he is going to do the same thing in front of the whole world."
"And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. They prepared themselves to sound."
Trumpets one through four, and the woe pronounced on the three still to come.
Revelation 8:7-13 KJV7The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
9And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
12And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
13And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
"The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth. Ain't nothing getting out of this atmosphere and ain't nothing coming in. Everything is locked in here, all of the evil spirits, all of the good spirits. There ain't no outer space and none of that. So all of these evil angels, they dwelling right here on the earth, and they going to see all of this as well."
"And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea, and the third part of the sea became blood. You going to see the sea turned to blood the same way it did back in the days of Egypt when Moses turned all of the waters to blood. Everything you saw when the plagues came down on the Egyptians, the Lord going to do it back on the world this time."
"And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and the name of the star is called Wormwood. Notice what it is called, because stars also represent angels. This angel here is going to bring all kind of plagues on the earth, and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. All of the water is going to be poisoned."
"And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten. So the sun going to be put out. But what are we going to be doing at this time? We still going to be counting down to the coming of the Lord. We going to see a day where it is half day and half night and you ain't going to even be able to tell the difference. We ain't never seen no day like that before."
"And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth, by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels which are yet to sound. He said, I beheld and heard, that means they seen them. So it is going to get worse and worse and worse on this earth right before God come."
The fifth trumpet opens the bottomless pit. He reads the locusts as war material, and the sting as chemical warfare, and points out that the men who are sealed are the ones untouched.
Revelation 9:1-6 KJV1And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
3And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
"And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth, and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. Notice what is going on. God is getting ready to release some evil angels to kill as well. But once the seventh angel sound, the evil angels ain't going to be killing no more, their job going to be done."
"And unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. You talking about chemical warfare, because what does a scorpion do? If a scorpion bites you, it poisons you. So they going to be sending out all kind of nuclear warheads. That is why God going to have to come back and save the earth."
"It was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. So once again, what is God going to do? He going to seal and save those that believe in him."
"And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months. In those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it, and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. You going to stay. Death is too easy. I can kill you now, but I want you to suffer. I want you to be alive when you see my face."
The sixth trumpet looses the four angels bound in the Euphrates, and an army of two hundred million. He points at how precise the Lord's timing is.
Revelation 9:13-18 KJV13And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
15And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
16And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
17And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
18By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
"Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. So now we got another set of angels. If you don't know who these four angels are, go read Ezekiel the fourteenth chapter, because these four are also who God is going to use to bring plagues on the earth."
"And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. You see how precise God is. He even took it down to an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year. God is real accurate when it come to his math."
"And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand. That is two hundred million soldiers. And out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. That is talking about tanks, that is talking about airplanes, that is talking about warships. John the Revelator never saw nothing like this, so he compared these war materials to animals."
And after all of that, they still would not repent.
Revelation 9:20-21 KJV20And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
21Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
"And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands. They didn't even repent. They know that the Lord is coming, but they still did not repent of the works of their hands, because that is what they teach in the Luciferian doctrine. Do as thou wilt. That is why you got to watch the mystery schools."
7.The Seventh Trumpet and the Coming of the Lord
Revelation the eleventh chapter is where the seventh angel sounds. He mentions in passing that the two olive trees from Zechariah are the two witnesses of the first six verses, then goes straight to verse fifteen.
Revelation 11:15-19 KJV15And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
16And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
17Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
18And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
19And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
"And the seventh angel sounded, and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever. That is what is going to happen when the seventh angel sound. This is when the Lord is going to come back."
"And the nations were angry. You might think all of the nations going to be happy when the Lord come back, but you got to realize this nation here is worshipping the devil. So these nations are not going to be happy when they see the return of Christ, and the Bible is going to tell you that."
"And the time of the dead, that they should be judged. At the seventh trumpet, these people that was dead are going to be judged. And thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great, and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth."
"And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament. This ain't no UFO you looking at. This ain't no alien you think is going to come from Mars. That means everybody going to see at this time what is going on in the third heaven with the Lord. That same ark that we read about, where the two cherubims face the mercy seat, that is what he talking about."
Then Revelation the nineteenth chapter, the Lord himself on a white horse, and the armies of heaven behind him.
Revelation 19:11-16 KJV11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
"And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse, and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire. That mean he got fire in his eyes. He ain't going to be playing no games at all."
"And his name is called The Word of God. That is one of Jesus' names. We already talked about him being called the Branch, but he is also called the Word."
"And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. You ain't just coming back, you coming back in style. These horses represent angels. So if you make it at this time, you going to come back riding an angel as well."
"And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King of kings, and Lord of lords."
And the supper of the great God, where the fowls are called to clean up the battlefield, and the nations gather to make war against him.
Revelation 19:17-21 KJV17And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
"Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God. He going to call all of these animals, and they going to come down to clean up all of these dead bodies that are left. You got to realize the Lord is also going to make a covenant with the animals. After this meal you ain't going to see the animals eating meat no more. They gonna be eating straw like the ox. So he gonna give them one big last supper."
"And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. All of the countries going to band themselves together and try to fight against the Lord. That is what they preach in the new world order."
"And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet, and these both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Make sure you ain't going to be beside them. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth."
8.The Aftermath, and Let God Arise
To show the aftermath of the tribulation he turns to Ezekiel the thirty-ninth chapter, the same supper seen from the prophets' side.
Ezekiel 39:17-21 KJV17And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
"Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come, gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. That is what we just read about."
"And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. Because he getting ready to take the taste out of your mouth. You ain't going to be eating it no more, so go on and get you one big meal, because you going to be eating straw like the ox after this."
"And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them."
And then the reason the nation went into captivity in the first place, and the promise to bring it back.
Ezekiel 39:23-25 KJV23And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
24According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
"And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity. That is the reason why we were slaves. Because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies."
"Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel. All this stuff we done, the Lord going to forgive us for all of it in the end. And will be jealous for my holy name."
The last stop is Psalm the sixty-eighth chapter, which he says is David quoting what Moses said over the ark whenever Israel went out to war.
Psalm 68:1-4 KJV1Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
2As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
4Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name Jah, and rejoice before him.
"Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered, let them also that hate him flee before him. If you want, you can go back to Numbers ten and see that when the priests went to war, Moses held the ark of the covenant and said, Rise up, Lord. And once they took the ark down, he said, Return, O Lord."
"But let the righteous be glad, let them rejoice before God, yea, let them exceedingly rejoice. I don't know what y'all going to be, but I'm going to be glad at this point in time."
"Remember, David did not have the name of Jesus. But what is he speaking about? He is speaking about the coming of the Lord. Sing unto God, sing praises to his name, extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. That is how you know he talking about the Son, because he is calling this name JAH."
Psalm 68:35 KJV35O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.
"O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places. The God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God. And we read about that earlier, we read where the joy of the Lord is your strength. So when you come here today, put all your problems to the side. They gonna be there tomorrow."
Closing Word
"The God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God. We hope you got some understanding. We thank y'all for your time."
Brother Obadiah kept the feast day and the prophecy tied together the whole way through. The trumpets Israel was commanded to blow at the beginning of their months, over their offerings, and on the day they went out against their oppressors, were a memorial pointing forward to seven angels who stand before God with seven trumpets in their hands. Those same seven are the seven lamps of the tabernacle, the seven golden candlesticks, the seven horns and seven eyes of the Lamb, and the six men with slaughter weapons plus the man with the inkhorn. When the last one sounds, the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our Lord. That is why the day is kept as a day of rejoicing and not a day of mourning, because this day represents the salvation of man.

Numbers 10. Numbers 10. Because we going to teach it from the old way.
Now we want to let you know that this day right here represents the coming of the Lord. and any time before Israel went out to war, at the beginning of their new months. And also, sisters and brothers, when the Lord is going to come back, that's what these trumpets made. So now, let's go to Numbers the 10th chapter, Numbers 10, and we going to pick it up at verse one. Numbers 10 and we going to pick it up at verse one. Let's show you what the trumpets was used for. So now, Numbers 10 and one, go ahead and read.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Make thee two trumpets of silver, and and of a whole piece that shall make them that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camp. So we showing you where the Lord had made this law now because he said it's going to be a law in Jacob and also a statue for the children of Israel. So now read that verse three. Go ahead. And when they shall blow which with them all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
So now once they blew them there everybody had to come before the Lord. Now so when they blew these trumpets it was for the calling of the assemblies. But now let's show you because we going to deal with war today. That's what these trumpets are dealing with. But now let's skip down to verse nine and skip down to verse nine and go ahead and read. And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, go ahead. Then you shall blow and the Lord with the trumpet, go ahead.
And ye shall be remembered before the Lord your God. Go ahead. And ye shall be saved from your enemies.

But this is what the children of Israel did in the Old Testament when they went to war against their oppressors. out. So once they blew these trumpets, it it was going to come up and the Lord was going to be remembered of these trumpets. And what else did it say? You shall be saved from all your enemies.

And also to the brothers in Canada, the the the Zion assembly of Job.
We also want to say happy feast of the trumpets to you as well. And also I want to give a round of applause so far for the brotherhood and the [applause] sisterhood. It's great that we stand together. One thing that the Lord say, it ain't got to be a whole lot of us at all, but one thing that you got to understand is when you become a brother and a sister, these are the people that love you. These are the people that's going to be there for you. So, not only does God does God want us to love one another, but he also want us to come together for his Sabbath days, sisters and brothers, because see, that's the real love you going to get in the world.
So now we want to get right on into the lesson. We want to get right on into the lesson and we want to show you what the memorial of the board of the trumpets is all about sisters and brothers. and we put these days. So when you do the memorial of the blowing of the trumpets, we know that you got to blow the trumpet up in the first day of the seven months, sisters and brothers. And God want us to come together and have a Sabbath and have a memorial because once these trumpets are blown, which we going to read about now, when these trumpets are blown, this is all going to point toward the coming of the Lord.
So they I know they have an old saying where they say when Gabriel blow his horn and things of that nature. But see Gabriel ain't going to be blowing no horn at this time sisters and brothers. We going to concentrate in particularly in this lesson on these seven angels that's going to blow these seven trumpets. Sisters and brothers. So we going to do a little rundown and we going to run through these trumpets. We going to show you that when every trumpet that's going to be blown after the tribulation period now that it's going to get worse and worse on the earth.
And each time every trumpet that's blown is going to get the seven. So when we get to the seventh trumpet, that is when the Lord is going to return, sisters and brothers, that's when he going to come back to the earth. But we going to go back and show you how they did it in the old days. So the title of the lesson is, "And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets, they prepared themselves to sound." So we going to show you that when these angels sound, it was a catastrophe that happened.
But what does God want the real saints to do? I want you to come together on the Sabbath and have a good time. Celebrate these days because this day represents your salvation. This day represents the coming of the Lord, sisters and brothers. But now, let's go to Nehemiah the 8th chapter. Let's go to Nehemiah 8. Let's go back to when they had rebuilded the temple and they found the law of the book of the Lord and they start getting everything back in order. And that's what we trying to do with the nation now.
That's why we are hauling trumpets on the scriptural calendar way and not the looney solar or the lunar calendar solar way because we want the people to get back in order as well. eliminate that because we want the people to know what that the Lord's calendar is scriptural and numerical. Sisters and brothers, the only thing that God want you to do is count. But now, let's go to Nehemiah the 8th chapter. Nehemiah 8. And we going to pick it up at verse one. Nehemiah 8. And we going to pick it up at verse one.
When you get there, my beautiful beloved elder, go ahead and read. And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate. Go ahead. And they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses. Go ahead. Which the Lord had commanded to Israel. So we all know about what Nehemiah and Ezra and all they did. So what they did, they grabbed the book of the law of Moses now, which we going to read about. And we going to read about some of the commandments that the Lord gave Moses.
And one of the commandments that he gave Moses is on the seventh day of the on the first day of the seventh month that you shall have a memorial of the blowing of the trumpets. So we going to show you that that's exactly what they will get ready for. But now let's pick it up at verse two. Go ahead. And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women and all that could hear with understanding. Go ahead. Upon the first day of the seventh month. So when did they do it?
They did it upon the first day of the seventh month, sisters and brothers. And when we go to Leviticus the 23rd chapter, we are going to show you that this is a solemn feast day that they are observing right here. Yes, sir. So now, what else did they do? Verse three. Go ahead. And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midnight. He So now I know my lessons be long, but I know they don't be this long. So now you know they was in the book all day long right here.
Now he said and they read there before the street that was before the water gate from the morning even until midday sisters and brothers sir and all they was dealing with what was the law of God. But now keep reading. Go ahead. Before the men and the women go ahead and those that could understand and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law. So now let's skip down to verse eight. Skip down to verse eight and go ahead and read. So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly.
This is what they did sisters and brothers. They didn't look up for no constellations or anything. What they did is they read in the book of the law of God. And when they read it, it was distinctly sisters and brothers. See, once you read the word of God, the more and more you read it, the more and more that you exercise yourself in the word of God, the more you going to understand what he is saying to you about everything that's in the book. So now he said, "So they he says, "So they read in the book of the law of God distinctly." And what else did they do?
Go ahead. And gave the sense. Go ahead. And caused them to understand the reading. And Nehemiah, which is the ters, the Toha, Toshhata, and Ezra the priest, the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, "This day is holy unto the Lord your God." Go ahead. Mourn not. So now I know we all got a lot of problems going on right now because we human. We alive. We trying to keep the law. We trying to keep the commandments of the Lord. So we all going through something, sisters and brothers.
Whether it's physically or whether it's spiritually now. So one thing that God want you to do is don't mourn on this day. Whatever problems you've had, whatever you've been going through, one day you need to put all of that stuff to the side for the Lord, sisters and brothers. You got to put it away for God. So now he said he said and Nehemiah which is the Toshhata and Ezra the priest the scribe and the Levites taught the people said unto the people this day is holy unto you unto the Lord your God.
So now he said mourn not go ahead weep not nor weep go ahead for all the people wept when they heard the words of the Lord. When they heard what when they heard the words of the Lord they start crying. Sisters and brothers, you get a lot of people once they hear the law of the Lord, the first thing they want to do is run up out of here and go away. But once they when you give your heart to the Lord and once you start opening up your mind to the understanding of this book, you going to read in the law of God or two and it might make you cry.
Sometimes when I put lessons together, I be crying when I put it to him because I understand what God is doing and what he's doing with his plan. So you got to read. You got to read. Satan going to tell you not to do it. Satan going to tell you not. The only thing he going to tell you is that you're not good enough. So you don't read. So make sure that you don't have the spirit of slumber. You go, you say you going to read your Bible at 10 and come at and before you know it, you read the book.
That's the spirit of slumber. You want to get that off of you. So now just just to add that in. But now keep reading now to verse 10. Go ahead. Then he said unto them, "Go your way, eat the fats, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared." Go ahead. For this day is holy unto our Lord. Go ahead. Neither be ye sorry. For the joy of the Lord is your strength. That's where your strength is, sisters and brothers. The joy of the Lord is your strength.
If you ain't joining in the Lord, you ain't got no strength at all because we all suffering. We all going through something. So the joy of the Lord is your strength. And it says it right here in the Bible. So he says, "Send portions to one another. Don't be sorry for the joy of the Lord is your strength." So now verse 11, go ahead. So the Levites still all the people saying, "Hold your peace, for the day is holy. Neither be ye grieved." And all the people went their way to eat and to drink and to send portions and to make great mers because they had understood the words that were declared unto them that were declared unto him.
They understood all of that, sisters and brothers. Yes, sir. But now read that. Okay. Okay. Read read that verse. Read that verse 13 right there. Read verse 14. Go ahead. Oh, no, no, no. Don't worry about it. Read verse 13. We'll say verse 14 next. And on the second day were ga were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all the people the priests and the Levites unto Ezra the scribe even to understand the words of the law. Even to understand the words of the law sisters and brothers. So after the first day they start going into the second day.
When they going into the second day what comes after the feast of trumpets? What comes right after that sisters and brothers is the day of atonement. But now let's go to Leviticus the 23rd chapter. Leviticus 23 and we going to pick it up at verse one. Leviticus 23 and we going to pick it up at verse one. You know I make it I'm I'mma tell y'all right now the secret the secret for me to stand in this book is I go to bed early. Start going to bed a little bit more earlier.
Go go go ahead on and lay down because see once you sleep a certain amount of time your body gonna make you get up. And once you get up, the first thing you need to start doing is start dealing with the word of God because that's what's going to dictate your day. If you if you wake up with problems and stuff like that on your mind, then problems going to be on your mind for the remainder of the day, sisters and brothers. So the way that you start your day is the way is by through the word of God.
But now let's go to Leviticus 23. Let's get back to the lesson. Leviticus 23 and we going to pick it up at verse one. Leviticus 23 and 1. Go ahead and read. And the Lord And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Go ahead. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them concerning the feast of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations. Go ahead. Even these are my feast. So now he going to read about. He said, "These are my feasts." Now, he said, "In these days are also holy convocations." So now picking up at verse three.
Go ahead and read. Sixth day shall work be done. Go ahead. But the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest. Go ahead. And holy convocation. Ye shall do no work therein. Go ahead. It is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwelling. It's the Sabbath of the Lord in all of your dwellings, sisters and brothers. So the Lord know that Israel wasn't going to stay in the land. So you got to not only keep the weekly Sabbath, but you got to keep the annual feast days as well. Yes, sir.
So no matter what nation you are in, you still got to keep the feast days the exact same way that they kept them back in Jerusalem. No matter where you are, because God said what? that my eyes and my ears are going to be at this place at all time. So now verse four, go ahead. These are the feasts of the Lord. Go ahead. Even holy convocations which ye shall proclaim in this season. And which you shall proclaim in that season. That mean everything to me, sisters and brothers. I eat, sleep, and drink Leviticus the 23rd chapter day and night.
It's not a day that go by that I don't stop in that chapter at some point. So now let's go now. Let's skip down to verse 23. Verse 23. And go ahead and read. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Go ahead. Speaking to the children of Israel, saying, in the seventh month, go ahead. In the first day of the month, so you remember when we read in Ezra, right? They brought all of the people down on the seventh month, on the first day of the month. So now, what did he say?
Go ahead and read. Shall you have a Sabbath? Shall ye have a Sabbath? So this is a high Sabbath. So you don't do no work. You don't do nothing. You don't go to your job and none of this on this day because this day is holy unto the Lord. So now what's that day called? Go ahead and read. A memorial of blowing a trumpet. Go ahead. In holy convocation, go ahead. You shall do no surf work therein, but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord. And we all know that Jesus came and took that away, right?
But if you if you paid attention that when we read in Ezra that they that they blew the trumpet over what? Over their burnt offerings and over their peace offerings. So these was the me. He said, "Ye shall do no off you shall do no survile work therein, but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord." And those was the burning the burning of all of the the sacrifices, the burnt offerings, and the sin offerings and the peace offerings. But now, let's go to Exodus the 25th chapter.
Let's go back and deal in the tabernacle because we want to deal with these angels because these seven angels stand before God day and night. And these seven angels also go to and fro in the earth and they report back to the Lord, sisters and brothers. But let's go to Exodus the 25th chapter because we want to show you what was in the tabernacle. And we want to show we want to point out these candlesticks because these candlesticks represents these angels that's going to blow these seven trumpets when we come down to the coming of the Lord.
So now let's go to Exodus the 25th chapter. Exodus 25. This was a this was the the tabernacle of the congregation that they was building back in the days of Moses. Exodus 25 and pick it up at verse 10. Go ahead and read. And they shall make an ark of sitting wood. Go ahead. Two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. Go ahead. And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold. They had to overlay this arm now with pure gold.
He said, "Thou shalt overlay it with pure gold." Oh, go ahead and read. Within and without, go ahead. Shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about. Go ahead. And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners thereof, and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it. So once they made it, now so just think of the ark of the covenant. So they had these two golden sticks that was on each side that they was able to carry the ark of the covenant when they left.
And those stage was to stay in the ark at all time. So now let's skip down. Let's skip down to verse 17. Skip down to verse 17 and let's show you what was in the ark and we going to show you what was upon the ark. So now verse 17, go ahead. And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold. He said, "Thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold." Sisters and brothers, this mercy seat represents the throne of God. So see, he said, "Thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold." Go ahead and read.
Two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof. Go ahead. And thou shalt make two cherubs of gold of beaten work shalt thou make them. Go ahead. In the two in the two ends of the mercy seat. So at the two end of the mercy seats now they made these two cherubams of gold and we going to show you where these cherubles was facing now. So keep reading. Go ahead. 19. Go ahead. And make one cherub on the one end and the other the cherub on the other end even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
Go ahead. And the cherubim shall stretch forth their wings on high covering the mercy seat with their wings. And your faces shall look one to another. Go ahead. Toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubams be. Because so now these cherubams, now we going to read about these two now, but we going to read about seven other cherub angels that was inside of the most holy place. So these two cherubams represent the way that the Lord traveled. So these so if you go read off in Genesis the third chapter once the Lord put Adam and Eve out, you had God and you had the two angels that was that was sent on both sides of the Lord and they have protected the tree of life because that's the way that God traveled.
So now keep reading. Go ahead. 21. Go ahead. And thou shalt put the mercy seat up above upon the ark and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. Go ahead. And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat. Go ahead. From between the two cherubims, which are upon the art of the testimony of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel, give them a commandment unto the children of Israel. So, they was commanded to do this.
But now, let's get down to verse 31. Let's show you what these candlesticks represented. uh Exodus 25 and pick it up at verse 31. Go ahead and read. And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold, a beaten work shall the candlestick be made, his shafts, and his branches, his bowls, his knobs, and his flowers shall be of the same. Go ahead. And six branches shall come out of the sides of it. Three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side.
Go ahead. Three bowls, make them unto almonds, which with a knock and a flower in one branch, and three bows made all almonds in the other branch with a kn and a flower. So in the six branches, they come out of the candlestick. So he just talking about, you know, these knobs and armor shaped like armors, all of these things are just what he is talking about what's going to hold these candlesticks up. So now they like to call it the manure, but we going just keep reading. Keep reading now.
Go ahead. 34. Go ahead. And in the candlestick shall be four bones made like unto almonds with their knots in their flowers. Go ahead. And there shall be enough under two branches of the same, and enough under two branches of the same, and a knock under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick. So we going to show you what these candlesticks all mean. Now, so you got these six branches that proceed out of the candlestick and you had one candlestick that was that was standing in the middle of them because it's going to be seven of them in all.
So now verse 36, go ahead. Their kns and their branches shall be of the same. All it sh all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold. Go ahead. And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof. So we going to show you what these seven lamps represent, sisters and brothers. So when you look what was inside of the tabernacle, you had the holy place and then you had the most holy place. And in the most holy place, that's where the ark of the testament was. But in the most holy place, you had the altar of incense.
You had the seven lamps and you also had the horns of the altar where they had sprinkled the blood. So when you look at these things, this is a representation of what was going on in the third heaven. So these seven lefts is going to represent these seven angels that's going to blow the trumpet in the future. So now pick it up at verse 37 again, Elder. Go ahead. And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof. Go ahead. And they shall light the lamps thereof. Go ahead. That they may give light over against it.
That they may give light over against it. So now keep reading. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. And the tongs thereof and the sniff sniff dishes thereof shall be of pure gold. Shall be of pure gold. So now let's go into Revelations the first chapter. We going to get right down to it today. We do this lesson all the time. So those that are right here, you know where we are going. So we just wanted to show you tabern uh trumpets in the old days. Now let's show you what these trumpets represent because when these seven seven angels blow these seven trumpets, God is going to come back and he is going to destroy what was left in the world, sisters and brothers.
And the Lord want us to celebrate this day. He want us to have a good time. So now let's go to Revelations 1. Revelations 1 and we going to pick it up at verse 11. Revelations 1 and we going to pick it up at verse 11. Let's get right on down to it. Revelations 1 and 11. When you get there, go ahead. Israel and saying I am Alpha and Omega. Go ahead. The first and the last. Go ahead. And what thou seeest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia, unto Ephesus, and unto Peramos, Pergamos, and unto Thiyra, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia.
Go ahead. And unto Locosia, an excellent read, why might I say, by the way, Elder? So, in the right before right before Israel had went into captivity, Israel was getting ready to go. So when they wrote Revelations, Revelations was written right before 70 AD. So at this point in time, the Lord had sent these letters out to the gentile churches to warn them about how to deal with the Lord. So he sent these he sent these letters out to these seven churches to warn them. So now pick it up at verse 12.
Go ahead. And I turned to see the voice of that voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks. I saw these seven golden candlesticks. Now, so remember the candlesticks that we saw when we was off in Exodus the 25th chapter. So now keep reading. Go ahead. 13. Go ahead. And in the midst of the seven candlesticks, go ahead. One like unto the son of man. One like unto the son of man, which was in the midst of these seven golden candlesticks. One like unto the son of man.
Go ahead and read. Clothe with the garment down to the foot and g about the ps with that golden girdle. Go ahead. His head and his hairs were white like wool. Go ahead. As white as snow. So now we talking about the Lord, sisters and brothers. So them seven golden candlesticks, they are always before the Lord. But they also go to and fro to the earth to report back to God what's going on. So in the midst of these golden candlesticks, they saw one that was clothed with a gur down to his foot, and his head and his hands was white like wool and as white as snow.
So now, what did his eyes look like? Go ahead. And his eyes were as a flame of fire. And his eyes were as a flame of fire. So think about the spiritual realm. We ain't thinking about nobody that's being drunk off a couple of beers and they get some red eyes. We talking about the spiritual realm. Something that we do not understand right now. So he said his eyes were as a flame of fire. Go ahead and read verse 15. And his feet like unto fine brass. Go ahead. As if they burned in the furnace.
Go ahead. And his voice as a sound of many waters. So if you read verse 15, God is telling you even what color it is. He said his feet was like unto fine brass as if they were burned in a furnace. This is letting you know that the Lord is black. But see, it really don't matter what color he is. He could have been Chinese as long as he don't get me in the kingdom. But we just got to understand that the Lord is black because he come out of the children of Israel.
Yes, sir. So and his feet like unto the like unto brass as if they were burned in the forest. and his voice was as the sound of many waters. But now verse 16, go ahead. And he had in his right hand seven stars. Go ahead. And out of his mouth with a sharp two-edged sword. Go ahead. And his countenance was as the sun silent in his strength. He be real light. Like I said, this the spiritual realm now. So when was the last time when he shine brightness as a son?
That's what he showed Peter and the two sons of thunder, which was James and John when he transfigured himself. But now, so when you once you make this spiritual change, it's going to be a light about you as well. So we going to be able to see the Lord in his glory. And that's the vision that God has given John the Revelator. Now he has given him a future vision of the kingdom. So now verse 17, go ahead. And when I saw him, go ahead. I fell at his feet as dead, and he laid his right hand upon me, saying, saying unto me, go ahead.
Fear not. Fear not. When you walk up on the Lord, all that stuff that you've been saying, I don't care how bad you are, when you go right before the Lord, you going to fall down at his feet because you going to be like, this is him. This is him right here. So one day we going to see this, sisters and brothers. He said, "Fear not." He said, "I am the first and the last." Go ahead and read. For I am the first and the last. I am he that liveth and was dead.
He said, "I am he that liveth that was dead." Go ahead. And behold, I am alive forever more. Amen. Go ahead. And have the keys of hell and of death. You better understand also who he is, sisters and brothers. They said he also have he has the the keys of hell and of death. Sisters and brothers. Yes, sir. So now, let's go to Ezekiel the 8th chapter. Let's show you these seven angels because we going to show you at this time they work for the Lord. And at this time they getting ready to kill some things with the house of Israel.
Let's go to Ezekiel the 8th chapter. Ezekiel 8. Ezekiel 8. And we going to pick it up at verse one. Ezekiel 8. And we going to pick it up at verse one. We going to show you. We going to show you, sisters and brothers, that Israel got way off track with the Lord. They start dealing with all kind of pagan gods, which we pointed out in the in the power hour this last Wednesday night. They start dealing with Baal. They start dealing with Asteroth. They start dealing with Saturn. And Saturn is the devil, sisters and brothers.
And when you deal with Baal worship, Baal is the worship of the sun and the moon and the stars together. That's what Bael worship really represent. Yes, sir. So now Ezekiel 8. And we going to pick it up at verse one. Ezekiel 8 and1. Go ahead and read. And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me. Go ahead. That the hand of the Lord God fell there upon me.
Go ahead. Then I beheld and lost and the appearance of fire. From the appearance of his loins, even downward fire. Go ahead. And from his loins, even upward as the appearance of brightness. Go ahead. as a color of animal. So he saw he looking at this angel now. So now he is also Ezekiel is seeing this angel in his presence. So when you see these angels, these angels represent fire and they also represent thunder. Sisters and brothers, he said, "And their brightness was as the color of amber." But now verse three, go ahead.
And he put forth the form of the hand. And he put forth the form of a hand. Go ahead. And took me by a lock of mine hand. Go ahead. And the spirit lifted me up between the earth and heaven and brought me in the business of God to Jerusalem to the door of the inner gate that looked toward the north. Go ahead. Where was the seat of the image of jealousy. Go ahead. Which provoketh to jealousy which provoketh to jealousy. So right before the Lord had even destroyed the temple, Israel was already sacrificing and putting pagan gods and different things.
They were already putting these things in the temple, things that God forbade, sisters and brothers. So now, let's pick it up at verse four. Go ahead and read. And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there according to the vision that I saw in the plain. So now, let's skip down to verse 14. Skip down to verse 14 and go ahead and read. Then he he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord's house. Go ahead. Which was toward the north. Go ahead. And behold, there sat women weeping for Tamuz.
They saw women weeping for Tamuz, sisters and brothers. And we know Tamuz was also the son of what they call Isis and Osiris. Back in Egypt, they had called him Horus. But later on down the line, they had started calling him by the name of Tamuz. And we know Tamuz had represented the sun god. So, Israel start representing and they start celebrating and doing everything dealing with the sun. So now verse 15, go ahead. Then said he unto me, hast thou seen this, oh son of man? Go ahead. Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these?
They going to see greater abominations than these now. So it's going to only get worse. So God going to visit Israel because of the sins that they are committed. So now verse 16, go ahead. And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord's house. Go ahead. And behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord. They was at the door of the temple of the Lord. Go ahead and read. Between the porch and the altar. And they was even between the porch and the altar, sisters and brothers.
So basically where they were standing, they were standing in the courtway of Solomon or even in the court of what they call later on the Gentiles. So they was between the porch and the altar. And what was they doing? Go ahead and read. Were about five and 20 men with their backs toward the temple of the Lord. Go ahead. and their faces toward the east. Go ahead. And they worshiped the sun toward the east. And they worshiped the sun toward the east. So Israel was dealing with this sun god. Everything that the Lord told them off in Deuteronomy the 4th chapter not to do to not deal with the constellations.
That's exactly what Israel started doing. They start dealing with the sun god. That's who Tamuz is. So he said they had their backs toward the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east and they also worshiped the sun which was toward the east. And they do that. Now, sisters and brothers, unfortunately, they do it every Sunday. But one thing you can't do, do not hate the vessel. God want you to hate the vessel. Don't hate the vessel. You got to hate the spirit that's behind the vessel. Anytime Jesus cast anybody out the church, he didn't cast a person out of the church.
He cast the devil out of the church, sir. And he let the person stay in. So now, but now, let's keep reading. That's another lesson for another time. Let's go to Ezekiel the 9th chapter now. Okay, finish it out. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Go ahead. Then he said unto me, "Hast thou seen this, oh son of man. Is it a like thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here?" Go ahead. For they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger.
Go ahead. And lo, they put the branch to their nose. They put the branch to their nose. So what was God going to do with them? Go ahead. Therefore will I also deal with fury. My eyes shall not spare, neither will I have pity. Go ahead. And though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, go ahead and read. Yet will I not hear. See, that's one thing you don't want to do with the Lord. You don't want to be crying to the Lord and the Lord don't hear you.
You don't want to deal with it like that. You want to make sure that you are all the way straight with the Lord. Go back and look at that plum line lesson that we did. But now let's go let's go into Ezekiel of the ninth chapter because he getting ready to deal with them now. And these seven angels that we have been reading about they getting ready to cause destruction to the nation of Israel. So now Ezekiel 9 and let's pick it up at verse one. Ezekiel 9 and1 when you get there go ahead El cried also in my ears with a loud voice saying go ahead.
Cause them that had charge over the city to draw near. So now he said cause them which had charge over the city to draw near now. So he getting ready to talk to these seven angels and they are getting ready to destroy for the Lord. So now keep reading. Go ahead. Even every man with this destroyed weapon in his hand. Go ahead. And behold six men came from the way of the higher gate. So y'all remember the six the six kept the six candlesticks. Right? So now he said he said and behold six men.
And these six men represents angels sisters and brothers. So sometime when you read in the Bible they call angels men sometime. So he said and behold six men came by weight of the high gate. Go ahead and read. Which lies toward the north. Which lie toward the north. Go ahead. And every man that start a weapon in his hand. Go ahead. And one man among them was clothed with lead with a writer's ink horn by his side. Go ahead. And they went in and stood beside the brazen altar. They went in and they stood beside the brazen altar.
Sisters and brothers. But where did they put the candlesticks in the tabernacle of the congregation? They had said it right before the brazen altar or the horns of the altar where they sprinkled the blood. So if you if you if you keep reading, you will understand what you read now was the exact same way that the tabernacle was explained back in the days of Moses. So they went in and they stood beside the brazen altar. And what happened at verse three? Go ahead. And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub.
Go here whereupon he was to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen which had the rightest ink home by his side. And the Lord said unto him, Go ahead. Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem. Go ahead. And set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. So now before he destroyed the city, sisters and brothers, see you also got to understand one thing about God.
God said, "Let the wheat grow with the tears." So now they going to both grow together. But before we destroy the city, I want you to put a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that's done in Jerusalem. So before I destroy this city, I'm getting ready to save the ones that believe in the Lord. Yes, sir. And he ain't going to let nothing happen to them. the same way that he did back off in exodus the 14th chapter when he told Israel sit back and see the salvation of the Lord.
So when you believe in the Lord, he is going to save you from this wrath the same way that he did with these people in Jerusalem. But now verse five, go ahead. And to the others he said in mine hearing. Go ahead. Go ye after him through the sick and smite. Go ahead. Let not your eyes spare. He said, "Let not your eyes spare." Go ahead and read. Neither have ye pit because they soldiers. And one thing about the soldiers is they take orders. And whatever order that they get from their general, they are going to see it through and kill.
It ain't going to be no no talking about it. It ain't going to be nothing. When these angels get a commandment from the Lord, they are going to kill whoever stand in their way. And we going to show you that it don't matter. I don't care if you big as a house or small as a mouse. If you if God say kill them, that's what's going to happen right here. So now pick it up at verse six. Go ahead. Slate utterly old and young. Slate utterly old and young maids. Go ahead.
Both maids and little children. Both maid. Both maids and little children and women. That's how God see it. Sisters and brothers. God is in the image of a lion. He has the attitude of a lion. So what does a lion do? A lion will come and destroy all of the children that's in the pride so he can come and start his own. That's what God do. That's what a lion do. So a lion don't have no problem killing no baby cub at all. And that's why these angels are not going to spare once God tell him to go out and kill.
So now keep reading. Go ahead. But come not near any man upon whom is the mark. And being at my sanctuary, they then began at the ancient men which were before the house. And he said unto them, defile the house and fill the courts with the slain. Go ahead. Go ye forth. And they went forth and slew in the city. They went forth and they slew in the city. So now skip down to verse 11. Then go ahead and read that verse 11. Go ahead. And behold the man clothe which had inh home by his side reported the matter saying go ahead.
I have done as thou hast commanded me. They going to do what has the man just going to obey God at every time. So he said and behold the man clothed with linen which have the ink on by his side. He is the one that made up the seven. Now he is the one that reported back to God. He said he reported the matter saying I have done as thou has commanded me, sisters and brothers. So now let's go to Zechariah the 4th chapter. Let's go to Zechariah 4 and we going to pick it up at verse one.
We go that we going to deal with these seven angels because they're going to blow these seven trumpets and God want us to get together and have a memorial for us. So now let's go to Zechariah the first chapter. Hopefully some of us can rise at that time. Hopefully some of us if we die before the coming of the Lord once he blow that trumpet that we'll be able to rise with the Lord as well and come back and fight with him. Yes sir. That's what we want sisters and brothers.
I know I know that's what I want. You know we talk about the Lord all the time. I want to come back and do everything that you do and I want to help you do it if I'm able to do it. And you should have the same attitude. Let's go to Zechariah the 4th chapter. Zechariah 4. And we going to pick it up at verse one. Zechariah 4. And we gonna pick it up at verse one. We read this the other day, but I want to come back and read this again.
Let's go to Zechariah 4 and pick it up at verse one. Go ahead and read. And the angel that talked with me came again and wake you as a man that is waking out of his sleep and said unto me, what sins thou? And I said, I have looked and behold a candlestick all of gold. Go ahead with a bowl upon the top of it. Go ahead. And his seven legs there on. This he said this what we read about in Exodus. Now, he said, "I looked and behold a candlestick all of gold." He said, "With a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereof." So, now we going to show you what they represent.
Go ahead and read. And seven pipes to the seven lamps. And also seven pipes to the seven lamps. Go ahead and read. Which are upon the top thereof. Go ahead. And two olive trees by one upon the right side of the bowl. Go ahead. And the other upon the left side thereof. So now, so just keep in mind now Zachariah is a priest. So now he knew what was in the temple of the Lord. But then all of a sudden he saw these two these two olive trees that was standing by the side of the altar.
So we going to show you later who these seven uh olive trees are. But now he because he having a vision. So these two olive trees was also standing beside these seven angels. So now pick it up at verse four. Go ahead. So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me saying go ahead. What are these, my lord? Cuz he said, "What are these, my lord? I'm always in the temple. I'm the high priest. So I never seen these in the temple before." So now keep reading. Go ahead.
Fine. Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Go ahead. Knowest thou not. What these be? I said, "No, my Lord." Go ahead. Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, Go ahead. This is the word of the Lord unto Zerub. He said, so I'll get back to these two olive trees later. I'm going to give you this answer right here first. He said, "Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, this is the word unto the Lord unto Zerubbabel." And what did he say? Go ahead.
Saying, "Not by might." Go ahead. Nor by power, but by my spirit, [clears throat] the Lord of host. See, that's what you got to understand about God. That's what he told Zubel right here. You ain't going to do nothing by your power, by your might. And neither are you in this life. You don't do nothing on your own. Everything that you do, the Lord is giving you the power to do it. Yes. And that's what he gave to Zerubbabel right here. He said, "Nor by power, but by my spirit, sayeth the Lord of hosts." So now verse seven, go ahead.
We talking about the building of the real third temple, not that imaginary temple what everybody else is talking about where they say they waiting on a red helmet. They got everything for the cow grow over there. So now these people got nuclear warheads that they don't want to tell nobody about and America protect them because of it. But you waiting on the cattle to be born over in the land and then you gonna start sacrificing. Give me a break. So now verse seven, keep reading. Go ahead. Who art thou, oh great mountain?
Therefore is the river bell. Thou shalt become a plain. Go ahead. And he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with sound. Go ahead. Crying grace grace unto it. See that mountain is sitting on the mount morale right now. He going to even tear that down a little bit and make a plain sisters and brothers before the Lord start making his temple. So now verse eight, go ahead. Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Go ahead. The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. Go ahead.
His hands shall also finish it. His hand shall also finish it. Go ahead. And thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts which have sent me unto you. Go ahead. For who have despised the day of of small things? For they shall rejoice and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven with those seven. So these seven also going to have Zerubbabel build the temple. Now so these seven angels got a few jobs. They go to and for in the earth. They kill when the Lord want them to kill.
And they going to also have Zerubbabel build this temple of the Lord when he come back. So now keep reading. Go ahead. They are the eyes of the Lord. They are the eyes of the Lord. Go ahead. which run to and fro through the whole earth. which run to and fro through the whole earth. See, they not like the fallen angels. The fallen angels need a vessel to run in. If I can't be a human being to let me go run in that bull and I just jump the gate and go attack that girl that's walking.
So that's reason why when they cast the demons out, they can't, he said, if I got if I can't be off in this man, then cast us into the pigs. They got to go somewhere. But these guys are holy and they stay in the same spiritual realm with the thunder and the lightnings going up and down their bodies, sisters and brothers. That's what these angels represent. So now keep reading. Go ahead. Oh, that was it. Okay, let's go. Now, let's go to Revelations the 5th chapter. Revelations 5. Revelations 5. And we going to pick it up at verse one.
We just want to show you who these seven angels are. And now let's put these trumpets in their hand because that's going out once, listening, brothers. And I cannot wait. I cannot wait until the Lord come up and kill some of these people that's tearing that that that's making this world the way that it is. May they rest in mess. So now let's go to Revelations 5. Revelations 5 and we going to pick it up at verse one. Revelations 5 and we going to pick it up at verse one. Revelations 5 and1.
When you get there, go ahead and read. And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne, a book written within and on the backside. Go ahead. Sealed with seven seals. They're gonna be sealed with seven seals now. So the seals are different from the trumpets. But he Let's read about the seals first. Verse two. Go ahead. And I saw a strong angel proclaimed with a loud voice, who is worthy to open the book and to loose the seals thereof? Go ahead. And and no man in heaven, nor in earth, nor under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look their own.
Go ahead. And I wept much because no man was found worthy to open the book and read the book needed to look their own. You see how you see how he cried when he couldn't get all of the knowledge, sisters and brothers? See, that's how you got to thirst for knowledge. The same way that John the Revelator was. He saw that could no man was worthy to open the book and to look there on. And it made him cry, sisters and brothers, because he wanted to know. But now keep reading.
Go ahead. And one of the elders saith unto me, go ahead. Weep not, behold the lion of the tribe of Judah. And we just talked about Jesus being a liar. He said, and one of the elders saith unto me, he said, weep not. Behold the lion of the tribe of Judah. Go ahead and read. The root of David. The root of David. Go ahead. That prevailed to open the book. Go ahead. And to loose the seals thereof, he said, "And to loose the seven seals thereof, sisters and brothers, go ahead, elder." Go ahead.
God be held in low in the midst of the thong and of the four beasts and in the midst of the elders to the lamb as it had been slain. Go ahead. Having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent forth unto all the earth. Once again, we back to these seven angels again, sisters and brothers. Sir, pay attention to what we read. Now he said, "These are they still before the lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spears of God sent forth into all of the earth." So now keep reading.
Go ahead. Seven. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne. Go ahead. And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and 24 elders fell down before the lamb. Go ahead. having every one of them hearts and golden vials full of odors which are the prayers of the saint. And so so that's what see that's what the incense altar had represented. So that's what uh uh uh John the Baptist father his name was Zachchariah 2. So he had also he had leaped these the he his job was to light the uh the seven the incense altar.
Let me get it right. He had to light the incense altar. Now, so when they had lit the incense altar, that smoke went up to God as a prayer of the saints. Those were the sweet odors that the Lord had represented. So now verse nine, go ahead. And they sung a new song, saying, "Thou are worthy to take the book." Go ahead. To open the seals thereof, for thou hast was slain. Go ahead. And hast redeemed us to God. By thy blood out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation.
Once you understand the true and living God, you can't play me with that black against white thing. You can't play me with that. And you got a whole lot of brothers in the world that's standing out on the corner and they teaching out of these books and not understanding that you saying that the Gentiles going to be killed and they gonna come kiss your feet and all that. Don't fall too far down that Hebrew rabbit hole. Don't fall too far down because the further you fall down into that Hebrew and you think that you dealing with the book of wisdoms and all of that, you going to run into the Cabala or you going to run into the Zohar or you going to run into the Talmood where they say that the only people that's going to be saved is going to be God's people.
So you got to don't let nobody play you with that black against white stuff. God gonna come back and take away all of that stuff. So God is going to come back and he is going to redeem us to God of thy blood out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation. And what's going to happen? Verse 10. Go ahead. And has made us unto our God. Go ahead. Kings and priests. He has made us unto our God kings and priests. Go ahead and read. And we shall reign on the earth.
So don't let nobody tell you no more you going to heaven. No you ain't. The kingdom going to be right here. He said they shall reign on the earth. Sisters and brothers. So now we we ain't gonna read Revelation 6 this time. We always read that. So let's go to Revelations 8. We going to pick it up. Let's pick it up at the seventh seal. Let's go to Revelations 8 and we going to pick it up at verse one. Remember, first it's going to be the seals. Then it's going to be the trumpets.
And once the seventh trumpet is blown, that's when all of the seven plagues is going to start destroying the people. That's who God gonna kill with. So now let's go to Revelations 8 and we going to pick it up at verse one. Revelations 8 and1. Go ahead, Elder. And when he had opened the seven stairs, go ahead. There was a silence in heaven about the space of it half an hour. Go ahead. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God. Oh, seven golden candlesticks. Now he said, "And I saw the seven angels which stood before God." Go ahead and read.
And to them were given seven trumpets. Go ahead. And another angel came and stood at the altar having a golden sensor. And there was given unto him much incense. Go ahead. That he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. Every time you pray for the Lord, let's say you die before the coming of the Lord. When you die and all your prayers that you ask God about, they going to come up before him as a memorial. It's going to come up as a sweet savor unto him because he going to remember all of your prayers.
every prayer that you prayed to the Lord for at this time they going to come up before him. Now go ahead and read. He said he said he said that they that he should offer it with the gold with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar now which was before the throne. So now verse four go ahead. And it spoke of the incense which came with the prayers of the saints. Go ahead. Ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. It ascended up before God unto the angel's hand.
Verse five. Go ahead. And the angel took the sensor and filled it with the fire of the altar and cast it into the earth. Go ahead. And there were voices and thunderings and lightnings and an earthquake. That's how it was going to be when the Lord come back. Think about Mount Si. Think about when the Lord came down and spoke to the children of Israel when it was thunders and lightnings and voices and all of that. So the same way that God descended down off in Exodus 19, he is going to do the same thing in front of the whole world.
Sisters and brothers, that's how we going to come back. So now keep reading verse six. [clears throat] Go ahead. And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. They prepared themselves to sound. So now verse seven, go ahead. The first angel sounded. Go ahead. And there followed hell and fire mingled with blood and they were cast upon the earth. Man, you think, hey, let me tell you something. Ain't nothing getting out of this atmosphere and ain't nothing coming in. Everything is locked in here. All of the evil spirits, all of the good spirits, everything is locked right in.
So at this time, you going to see fire and and and and hell mingle with fire cast onto the earth. Sisters and brothers, there ain't no outer space and none of that. Everything is right here. So all of these evil angels, they dwelling right here on the earth. So they going to see all of this as well. He said, "And the first angel sounded and there followed hell and fire mingled with blood and they were cast unto the earth." Go ahead and read. And the third quarter of the trees were burnt up.
Go ahead. And all the green grass is burnt up. Not like they be starting fires on that. They starting fires over in Europe there to try to purify the land. Same thing that they do up in Canada. Every year it's always thousands of acres that's being burnt by the land. That's because they not following what God tell them to do. So they got to burn all of the grass. Oh, there's another fire up in Canada. up in county kind of cold and watery all the time cuz they starting them sisters and brothers.
But now keep reading. Go ahead. Hey. And the second angel sounded. Go ahead. And as it were a great mountain burning with the fire was cast into the sea, and the third part of the sea became blood. Go ahead. And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea and had life died. Go ahead. And the third part of the ships were destroyed. So you ain't going to have to worry about them underwater bombs around where they trying to get around their strip to get that gas. That's why America won't go over there.
They got them bombs hiding underwater. But at this point in time, all of the ships going to die. You going to see the sea is going to be turned to blood the same way that it did back in the days of Egypt when Moses had turned all of the waters to blood. So everything that you saw back when when the plagues came down on the Egyptians, the Lord going to do it back on the world this time. So all of the third part of the sea and all of the ships, they're going to be destroyed and going to be turned going to be turned to blood.
But now keep reading. Go ahead. 10. And the third angel sounded. And there fell a great star from heaven burning as it were a lamp and it fell upon the third part of the rivers and upon the fountains of waters. Go ahead. And the name of the star is called world. Notice what it's called. He said the name of the star now because stars also represent angels. He said that the name of the star is called wormwood. So this angel here is going to bang all kind of plagues on the earth.
Keep reading. Go ahead. And the third part of the waters became wormwood. Go ahead. And many men died of the waters. Go ahead. Because they remain. They going to be Let me Let's go over here and look at this cold water. Let's take a little drink of this water right here. They going to drink of that water. They going to get sick and because all of the water is going to be poisoned, sisters and brothers. So just understand what God is doing right now. So now keep reading. Go ahead. 12.
And the fourth angel sounded. Go ahead. And the third part of the sun was spinning. And the third part of the sun was spinning. So you going to see now that the sun going to be put out. But what are we going to be doing at this time? We still going to be count down to the coming of the Lord. So you ain't going to have no son. He said, "And the third part of the sun was smitten." Go ahead and read. And the third part of the moon. And also the third part of the moon.
Go ahead. The third part of the star. Go ahead. So as a third part of them were darkened, and the day shall not for a third part of it. Go ahead. And the night likewise. Can you imagine? We ain't never seen no day like that before. We never seen nothing like this before. But see, you got to understand God, it's going to be different once God returns. But before the Lord return, it's going to be operating. You going to see the spirit realm with your own eyes. You going to see it all at this time.
You ain't going to have to look at no person and see a devil in them. Or you can look at the spirit of a good man and say that this person is a good person. You gonna see all of these angels with your eyes. So now we going to see a day where it's going to be half day and half night and you ain't going to even be able to tell the difference. So now verse 13, go ahead. And I beheld and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven.
Same with the loud voice. Go ahead. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Go ahead. to the inhabitants of the earth a reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels which are yet to sound which are yet to sound. But notice what he said. He said, I beheld and heard an angel flying through the midst of the air. That means they seen them, sisters and brothers. And he said, "Wo, wo wo to the inhabitants of the earth by the other trumpets which are yet to sound." So that mean it's going to get worse and worse and worse on this earth right before God come.
So now let's go to Revelations 9. Revelations nine and pick it up at verse one. Let's get to the fifth angel. Go ahead. And the fifth angel sound. Go ahead. Let's saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth. Go ahead. And to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. So notice at this time, notice what's going on. You got evil angels that's killing. But then God is getting ready to release some evil angels to kill as well.
But once the seven angels sound, the the evil angels ain't going to be killing no more. They job going to be done. They go they not going to be killing. It's going to be the saints and it's going to be the army of angels that God is going to come back with. But at this point in time now, they still sounding the trumpets. So you got all of the evil angels that's getting ready to fight at this time as well. So now verse two, go ahead. And he opened a bottomless pit.
And there arose a smoke out of the pit as the smoke of a great furnace and the sun and the air were darkened by the region of the smoke of the pit. Go ahead. And there came out of the smoke locus upon the earth. So now what he have envisions a war. See this is the real World War II right here. This what every nation on the planet going to fight. And they going to be all fighting in one area sisters and brothers. They going to be fighting in the Middle Earth.
That's where they going to be fighting at. So now keep reading. Go ahead. And unto them was given power as the scorpions of the earth have power. And to them was given power as the scorpions of the earth have power. Go ahead read. You talking about chemical vow chemical warfare because what the scorpions do? If a scorpion bites you, it poisons you. So they going to be sending out all kind of nuclear warheads. That's why God going to have to come back and save the earth. So now keep reading. Go ahead.
Four. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass. He that he was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth. Go ahead. Neither any green thing. Go ahead. Neither any tree, but only those men which have not the seal of God in their forehead. But only those men which have not the seal of God in their forehead. So once again, what is God going to do? He going to seal or save those that believe in him. Amen. So now keep reading. Go ahead.
And then it was given that they should not kill them. Go ahead. It was given them that they should not kill them. Go ahead. But that they should be tormented five months. Go ahead. And their torment was the torment of a scorpion. Go ahead. When he striketh a man, when he striketh the man. I was watching a western movie not too long ago and the little girl was getting ready to put a shoe on and she looked in the shoe and dumped it. When she dumped the shoe out, it was two scorpions that was in the shoe.
So if you get bit by one of these scorpions, they ain't gonna die. He gonna keep them alive. Because if you get bit by a scorpion, you only got a certain amount of time before that scorpion kill you. So at this point in time, they gonna be poisoned and they gonna want to die. But God ain't going to let them die because he said, "And to them what was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months, and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man." So now verse six, go ahead.
And in those days shall men seek them. Go ahead. and shall not find it. They going to seek to die, but they shall not find it. Go ahead. And shall desire to die. Go ahead. And death shall flee from them. No, you going to stay away, part too easy. I I can kill you now, but that's too easy. I want you to suffer. I want you to stay alive and suffer. I want you to I want you to be sick even when you see my face. So now, keep reading. Go ahead.
Seven. Go ahead. And the saints of the locust were like unto horses prepared unto battle, and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold. Go ahead. And their faces were as the faces of men. Just think about helicopters and think about war material. He said, "And the shape of the of the locust was like on the horses prepared to battle. And on their heads was as it was crowned like gold, and their faces was as the faces of men." But now verse eight, go ahead. And they had hair as the hair of women.
And their teeth were as the teeth of lions. And they had breastplates as it were breastplates of iron. And the sound of their wings was as a sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. Go ahead. And they had tails like of the scorpions. And there were stings in their tails. And there were power and their power was to hurt men five months. Go ahead and read. And they had a king over them. They had a king over them. Go ahead. Which is the angel of the bottomless pit. Yes.
So now we reading about Satan. That's how we know Satan going to be killing in the midst of these trumpets as well. Now he said, "And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit." And what is his name? Go ahead. Whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abdon. He said whose name in the Hebrew tongue is about. Go ahead and read. And in the Greek tongue hath his name Apolio. Go ahead. One woe is passed, and behold, there come two woes more hereafter. Go ahead.
And the six angels sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar, which is before God. Go ahead. Saying to the sixth angel, which had the trumpet, go ahead. Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. So now we got another set of angels. Now we just reading all about angels. So you should know who these four angels are. If you don't know who these four angels is, then go read Ezekiel the 14th chapter because these four angels is going to be who God is also going to use to bring plagues on the earth.
So now he says saying to the six angels which have the trumpet, loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. Go ahead and read 15. And the four angels were loose which were prepared for an hour and a day and a month and a year. Go ahead. But just say the third part of man. You see how precise God is. You see how precise he is. So God is telling you how he get down. He said he he said he even took it down to an hour and a day.
He said what is a day? He said in a month and a year for to slay the third part of men. So God is real accurate when it come to his math. So now verse 16 go ahead. And the number of the army of the horsemen were 200,000,000. That's 200 million soldiers, sisters and brothers. That's 200,000 thousands. Go ahead. And I heard the number of them. Go ahead. And thus I saw the horses in the vision and they sat on them having breastplates of fire and of Jackson and brimstone. And the heads of the horses were as the heads of lion.
Go ahead. And out of their mouths issued fire, smoke and brimstone. That's that's talking about tanks. That's talking about airplanes. That's talking about warships. All of this stuff. It gonna issue fire out of his mouth. So at this point in time, John the Revelator never saw nothing like this. So he compared these war materials to animals, sisters and brothers. But now keep reading. Go ahead. 18. By these three was the third part of man killed. He said, "By these three were the third part of men killed." Go ahead. By the fire and by the smoke and by the brimstone which issue out of their mouths.
For their power is in their mouth and in their tails. For their tail were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they did they do hurt. They do hurt. But now pay very close attention what he going to say in verse 20. Go ahead and read. And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hand. They didn't even repent for it. They they know that the Lord is coming, but they still did not repent of the works of their hand because that's what they teach in the Luciferian doctrine.
Do as thy will. Do as thy will. We don't care. We What? What's this one man that came and died for the sins of the people? We all got to live for him. So, what we going to do was rebel with with Lucifer with him because they tried to say Lucifer was his brother, which is a lie. That's why you got to watch the mystery schools, sisters and brothers. And I had to say that. I had to get that off my chest so I can rest. Don't follow these people like that.
So, now keep reading, Elder. Go ahead. that they should not worship devils and idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and of wood, which neither can see nor hear nor walk. Go ahead. Neither repent they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their death. Nor of their death. That's why God gonna kill them and he ain't gonna have no problem killing them, sisters and brothers. But now, let's go to Revelations 11. We only got three more after this. Let's go to Revelations 11.
Now, let's get down to the seventh trumpet. And I didn't put this in now, but if you uh and most of us in here know, but if you want to know who those two olive trees are, you can read it right here from in Revelations 11 verses 1-6. You can read about those. Those are the two witnesses. They going to have power to shed up earth. But we ain't here for them today. We trying to get out of here so we can do our thing. Let's go down. Skip down to verse 15 now.
Revelations 11 and pick it up at verse 15. Go ahead. And after three days, and half of the spirit of the light from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet, and great fear fell upon them which saw them, and they heard a great voice from heaven, saying unto them, "Come up hither," and they ascended up to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies beheld them. Their enemies beheld him. So in the end, these guy going to die. They going to die right before the coming of the Lord.
So right before the Lord come back, the Lord going to call them up. He going to say, "Come up hither and all other people on the earth going to see these two witnesses come up to the Lord now because what does what does uh uh uh uh uh uh 1 Thessalonians what does it tell us in 1 Thessalonians 4? That the dead in Christ shall rise first." So these guys going to be dead and they going to rise. But now keep reading. Go ahead. 13. In the same hour was there a great earthquake and the 10th part of the city fell and in the earthquake were slain of men 7,000.
Go ahead. The remnant were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven. And they gave glory to the God of heaven. Go ahead. And second, the second row is passed. And behold, the third row cometh quickly. And the seven angels sounded, and there were great voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord." Go ahead. And of his Christ. Go ahead. And he shall reign forever and ever. He shall reign forever and ever. That's what's going to happen when the seven angels sound, sisters and brothers.
When the seven angels sound, we know now that this is when the Lord is going to come back. He said, "And there were great voices in heaven, saying, the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever, sisters and brothers, he going to reign forever." So now verse 16, go ahead. And the four and 20 elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshiped God. Go ahead. Saying, "We give thee thanks, oh Lord God Almighty." Go ahead.
Which art and was and are to come. Go ahead. because thou hast taken to thee thy great power and hast rained. And now he says, so now you think that all of the nations going to be happy when the Lord come back, but you got to realize this nation here is worshiping the devil. So these nations are not going to be happy when they see the return of Christ. And the Bible is going to tell you that. Verse 18, go ahead. And the nations were angry.
