Today teaching is “A Little Season PT. 2“
First, I want to work through some things to set a foundation for this teaching.
We are in the tribulation, and if you don’t believe that, I don’t know what planet you are living on.
Jesus Himself said that He was going to destroy everything that He had created, and that it was going to be the undoing of creation.
In other words, the tribulation is the destruction of creation.
Matthew 24:22
1. The Tribulation
When the tribulation has completed, what we are going to see is the descent of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Matthew 24:29
Subject #1 is the tribulation
Subject #2 is the descent of the Lord Jesus Christ
Subject #3 is the descent of the angel with a chain in his hand
Yesterday I put the angel before Jesus, but I am changing that and am going to give Jesus priority here.
The reason I put the angel first yesterday is because it is understood that Jesus will not come back to earth if there is sin on the earth, and those of us who are the elect will be considered sinless.
But I am going to give Jesus priority.
Subject #1 is the tribulation
Subject #2 is the descent of the Lord Jesus Christ
Subject #3 is the descent of the angel with a chain in his hand
Subject #4 will be the first resurrection.
Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ and shall reign with him a thousand years.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Subject #1 is the tribulation
Subject #2 is the descent of the Lord Jesus Christ
Subject #3 is the descent of the angel with a chain in his hand
Subject #4 is the first resurrection.
Subject #5 is the beginning of the 1000-year reign of peace.
Think about that for a second. We will start 1000 years of peace on earth where there will be no sickness, and no sorrow, and no death.
Satan will be bound for a thousand years and death will not have any place once that has taken place.
Subject #1 is the tribulation
Subject #2 is the descent of the Lord Jesus Christ
Subject #3 is the descent of the angel with a chain in his hand
Subject #4 is the first resurrection.
Subject #5 is the beginning of the 1000-year reign of peace.
Subject #6 is when Satan is loosed for a little season.
Today the title is “A Little Season Part II””.
I want you to get those 6 categories down, and I’m not going to tell you what the 7th one is yet.
We also had 4 other categories that we were teaching on a few weeks ago.
1. The Key Servant
2. The Chosen Few
3. The Elect
4. The First Resurrected
I want to be able to put those in your memory because we are going to need to understand the chronological order of events so we can begin to be prepared.
The question I asked yesterday, was why would God release Satan after he has been bound for 1000 years?
If he’s in prison for a thousand years, prison would not be sufficient because if we are going to have a new heaven and a new earth, something else would need to be done with Satan besides him being in prison.
Ultimately what is going to happen to him is that he is going to be thrown into the lake of fire.
But he must be out of prison for a season, and when he does Jesus is going to drop the hammer on him.
I raise the question, why not drop the hammer on him now? There are a lot of good reasons, and we will try to get into them.
We must understand the mercy of God, the redemptive power of God, the blood Jesus to be able to understand the reason as to why the Lord does not just drop the hammer on Jesus now.
First, there are a whole lot of people that He would have to drop the hammer on as well.
I want to kind of turn a corner here for just a moment, and I want to talk to you about getting ready for eternity.
I want to help you to understand eternity, and I want you to think about planning for eternity.
There’s an old proverb which says, “He who fails to plan, plans to fail.”
There’s an old African proverb that says, “Choose your rut wisely.”
A rut is the road that you choose.
I want to suggest to you that you begin to plan for eternity.
You have probably planned for a whole lot of things in your life, but you probably have not planned for eternity.
I want you to start planning for it.
Eternity is a concept that you will not be able to fully actualize, and you will not know all of what it entails.
All you know is that it has no end.
But you want to plan to live as eternal, and it may take you weeks or months or years to fully grasp it. I will come back to this.
One of the things I’ve discovered about the existence of the ATLAH church, and my personal existence, and my presence every day as a teacher of the word of God, is that I have a vision called ATLAH, and it feeds me life.
Someone asked me the other day why I left the Baptist fellowship that I was once a part of. If my total summation of planning both as ministry worship and service would have been to be a good Baptist, it would have stunted my life span, and I probably would not have been given conceptuality or been able to fully embrace the scriptures.
Most Baptists plan to die, as do most Protestants, and they plan to go to heaven. They plan to die. It is a part of their doctrinal ideology, but I’m not planning death.
One of the things I have been recently looking at is the problem of leading the Hamite people to understand who they are, and it’s a massive job.
The Hamites live in the past, and they continually dwell on the fact that the white man did this, and the white man did that.
There is no planning of being a victorious people. I mean, everything is about overcoming slavery, and overcoming the white man.
It is a horrific, demonic mindset, and that’s why a Hamite person might have a PHD, but their worldview is overcoming slavery. They live back in 1619 or 1865.
They live as slaves, rather than having a concept of having eternal life. They don’t live that way, and that is the last thing on their minds, and as a result, from their churches, to universities, they are stuck in the slavery tussle with the white man.
So, my job is to help them to break free from all of that, and to realize that it was God who put the Hamites into slavery.
Hamites need to tell God thank you for making them slaves, and then they need to turn around and thank the white man for teaching them about Jesus while they were slaves.
But that’s another teaching for another time.
But we need to start thinking about living eternally.
Some of you’ll are planning on dying, and God said don’t make those plans.
Don’t plan to die. Plan to live! It does not matter what the diagnosis is, you must plan to live.
The Lord told me in prayer this morning that some of you are quietly planning on dying.
I never watched Chadwick Boseman in the Black Panther because I saw it as a satanic way of diverting black people who already have feeble minds.
And Chadwick Boseman played the Black Panther. It should have been called the Black Devil.
Anyway, he recently died, and right now there are a whole lot of people who are fearing death just because they saw a young man at 43 years of age die an untimely death.
The devil makes the broad statement about Boseman being dead at 43, and people will silently concede to death. That’s the devil!
And come the Academy Award season, Chadwick Boseman is all you’re going to hear about.
And people are going to die because Chadwick Boseman died. That’s how the devil works on your mind. Instead of thinking about being victorious and living eternally, you are thinking that you are going to die.
What I have seen of the Black Panther is all satanic and none of it is godly.
The double whammy is that Chadwick Boseman has planted a seed and it is horrendous.
So, people are planning on dying, and the Lord is saying, “Don’t do it.”
He is saying to make some other plans.
The other thing is that we really do need some of you.
Here is scripture about a woman who overcame death.
Matthew 9:20-22: 20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
She had spent all her money with doctors and no doctor could heal her. She was all by herself.
The Lord sent me here today to tell you that if you are planning on dying, I rebuke you in Jesus’ name. Stop it!
Don’t give up!
So, this woman didn’t die because Jesus said her faith made her whole.
Every woman ought to say, “I am not going to die, and I am not going to give up until I can touch the garment of a righteous man’s garment.”
Now if you don’t believe it, then go on about your business, but if you believe it, then go around saying that you are not going to die.
This woman had a menstrual period for 12 years. People would have understood if she wanted to die, but she didn’t want to die, she wanted to be healed, and she wanted to live.
As a recap:
Subject #1 is the tribulation
Subject #2 is the descent of the Lord Jesus Christ
Subject #3 is the descent of the angel with a chain in his hand
Subject #4 is the first resurrection.
Subject #5 is the beginning of the 1000-year reign of peace.
Subject #6 is when Satan is loosed for a little season.
We also had 4 other categories that we were teaching on a few weeks ago.
1. The Key Servant
2. The Chosen Few
3. The Elect
4. The First Resurrected
I’m planning on eternal life.
If you are not planning on being one of the elect, and you are planning on dying, let me tell you that if you die you are not going directly to heaven, not according to the Bible.
Revelation 6:9-11: 9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
If you are planning on dying, you are not going straight to heaven. You must wait until the judgement bar of God to go to heaven.
I would rather just tough it out here on planet earth than to think about dying all the time.
You are not going under the altar unless I put you there.
I’ve got a verse for the men as well, but it will have to be the next time we get back together.
