Thank you for watching and sharing and commenting and sending me questions. I love it when you guys send me questions. I absolutely do. Okay, let's address the elephant room. I know that you are typically used to seeing my episode drop first thing in the morning, but I had some things that came up, so it was a little late in posting. Okay, a lot late in posting for today. But I do thank you all for your patience. Thank you for still liking and sharing and subscribing and attending the podcast other place. Big, big, big, big news, big news. Our listenership has gone up, has gone up, uh, I think 240% over the last five weeks. And that's all thanks to you. I really do thank you, love you, and appreciate you. Thank you. And thank God for bringing you to the uh podcast for joining the Walker community. Love each and every one of you. Big shout out to our uh sponsors, Truebars Lyricist with the intro and the outro, and Squisit Creations with the uh swag, and she's making dominoes now because uh that's what she does. She's just so excellent in what she does and her quality of work. I mean, it's just truly just watching her work, is is is one of the most soothing things. You know, you get these videos where people are doing things online and it they kind of soothe you when they're you're watching them work, you should watch her work in person. But um, I digress. We're just gonna get right into it because we got some ground to cover today. Uh I got thank you all for liking and subscribing. Thank you all for your comments last week. And I just want to kind of jump right into where we left off last week because we were talking about the trumpets and the woes, and we kind of left off with the with the three woe statements that the angel made. Um, and we we weren't actually done with the trumpets yet. Uh, and keep in mind this is we're we're talking about the book of Revelation and we're talking about end times. Please understand, y'all, and I I need to we need to always kind of keep this in the back of your mind. Once we have gotten here, there is let me rephrase that. Once we've gotten here, you only have um from a from the first I would say about the fifth chapter of Revelation to the end of Revelation, you you only got about uh a one in four chance of making of surviving that seven-year period of what we call the tribulation. And by surviving, by the word surviving, I mean just barely surviving, because it would be the most miserable seven years that you will you can ever imagine, only to understand that um after that there's gonna be some other issues, and if you don't, you're gonna have one more chance to get right, and if not, we're we're talking about being lost forever. And if you if you're lost during rebel, during the tribulation, you are lost. So, and I I I don't I mean, people say I I sound really mean when I say things like that, but it's just very important to kind of not sugarcoat some things, and this is one of those things that should not be sugarcoated, because we like to sugarcoat things, we don't want to make anybody feel bad, but but I would rather you tell me the blunt truth now and I have the chance to fix it, than me just going through life thinking everything's okay, and then all of a sudden, like say for example, if I if I eat three dozen donuts a day and no one wants to tell me that I'm I'm a fatback and I should probably be stopped eating three dozen donuts a day. No one wants to tell me that they don't they don't want to offend me, but then when I have a heart attack or a stroke or I start losing extremities or to diabetes, I'm gonna be like, well, why didn't no one tell them tell me? And then you say, Well, JJ, because we didn't want to offend you. And this is where I would have preferred you told you tell me in the beginning, bro, stop eating three dozen Dixie Cream donuts a day because you're gonna have problems. Um, so this is very it's very important to to kind of uh be blunt and honest and upfront with what we're talking about here. But I'm I'm doing it out of love, I'm not doing it to kind of shame anybody or anything like that. But please understand that once we go into this revel this uh tribulation period, things are gonna get bad, and they're gonna get bad fast. Okay, so we are halfway through the trumpet. Now I'm kind of moving fast because once once we get here, things are going to move fast. Alright. We've had the angels come through and they say, Whoa, whoa, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, and now we're going to something is going to happen that is different from what has happened before. Alright. So, one of the things that um, oh, and let me just throw this out there because I have to make sure we talk about it. I'm gonna be going through some scripture, but I'm going to be giving you maybe one or two scripture. It is very vital, important, critical, crucial, and and in fact, one of the rules of this podcast is to uh listen when you're going through and you're reading this stuff, pause the podcast, read a verse or two above the scripture and a verse or two below the scripture, but preferably the whole chapter. Why? Because context is key. I can take something out of one part of the Bible and take something out of another part of the Bible that's totally unrelated, tie it together, and create a doctrine and make you believe it because I sound good and I have the right voice cadence and all that. But is it important? It is important for you not to be deceived, for me not to be deceived, we always read and understand the Bible in its proper context. A lot of people are not gonna like that, but it's important. I would rather you not like me and I go to heaven than you like me, and we both go to hell. That's that's just how it works. Alright, so that being said, something is going to happen here. Um, and the Bible is going to mention something that is very tragic, very, very, very, very tragic. And what is that? Alright, so what is that? What is what is the thing that's going to be very tragic that the Bible's going to mention? Right in Revelation 9, somewhere around 20 and 21, the Bible makes a very, very um specific statement. And it's very tragic that it has this statement has to be made, but I can see now why it would be made. Now, because you would think with all of these things going on, the first three trumpets and um well, I think the first four trumpets at this point, the first trumpets and and the locusts and everything that's going on, you would think that a lot of people, matter of fact, everybody, everyone would just be like, Oh my god, I'm so sorry for all the things I've done. I understand now what has happened, this the rapture has happened, and God's people have been taken away. And God, please have mercy on my soul. Don't let me go to hell, and God, I'm gonna stop all my sinning. You would think that that's gonna happen. You would think that you're gonna wake up, realize that everything that you've done, all the false gods that you've worshipped, and and what that really meant, that you are going to turn your life around and give your life to the Lord. All right, get baptized in Jesus' name, right? Do you think that's gonna happen? Absolutely not. The Bible makes it very clear that this is not going to happen. They're not gonna repent of the things that they're doing, they're not gonna repent of idolatry and murder and fornication and theft and and uh mistreating of children and things of that nature. All these things are going to be so prevalent like they are today. And this is what makes us kind of think that um, and and you know, here's the problem not only will these things happen, you will have people that will not repent and other people that will co-sign it and say, Oh, you can't say anything about them, you are judging, you are being hateful, you are filling the blank. And this is what makes us think that we are very close to um the the revelation day. Because I'm old enough to remember that if let's just say I stole something from the store and uh the police caught me and um they walked me out of the store, or my name showed up in the paper being accused of theft, that people will look at me and say, JK, you should be ashamed of yourself. That's not the case anymore. Now they'll come up with 15,000 excuses that I never mentioned. They'll come up with 15,000 excuses to why I should steal and why that was okay and why I should be forgiven. So we we are in that period. We were very close because we've gotten to the point where there's been no need of repentance. Alright, so we're gonna move right along. So um, Revelation chapter 10, 3 and 4, and you're gonna see uh where we're gonna read where there's gonna be a mighty angel that's going to place his right foot upon the sea and his left foot upon the earth, and claiming possession of both of them. Now, a lot of people say this is Jesus only because he claimed possession, and the angels never claimed possession of the earth. I'm not gonna debate into that because to me at this point, it what as a famous politician once said, what difference does it make? So he's crying out in a a loud voice like a lion roaring, and a lot of people will recorrelate that to the lion of the tribe of Judah, which is of course Jesus. Um, and then but then after he speaks, whoever this angel is, whatever that angel is, and like I said, some people say that's Jesus. I feel that if if the Bible meant it to be Jesus, it would have said the Son of Man or the Lamb of God or something because it wouldn't have left that open to it wouldn't have said an angel, basically. But that's just my thoughts on that. Um, but what happens after that is that you're gonna get some thunders after he speaks, seven thunders are gonna happen. So, this is what we're gonna be talking about today is the seven thunders. Now, the problem is that John was about to write about what the thunders were going to say, but this same entity told John to seal what was said. Now, that that's another reason why people say that was Jesus talking to John. But again, I I kind of feel like God the Bible would have said, not an angel. So John was told to seal up what was the what the seven thunders uttered. So we are we are not gonna know, and and let me tell you something. A lot of times people would take something like this and say, Well, God told me what the seven thunders uttered. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. If God wanted us to know, he would have told John the same way he told John everything else, the same way he told Daniel everything else. So don't even don't even entertain that spirit, rebuke that spirit right now and move on. All right, let's go. So it is um now. After that time, though, in Revelation 10 and 6, uh, the Lord declared that time was gonna be no longer. Now, some people think that that means that's the end of time at that point, but that doesn't make sense because everything else still goes by chronological order, and we're still only halfway through. So it only means that by time being no longer, it almost means like um like like the Bible is saying there should be no further delay in what's gonna happen. So everything comes on real fast, quick, fast, and in a hurry. So we've realized now that we're still in the middle of the tribulation period, and that God is studying that his will and his dealings with man are now gonna be consummated. There's gonna be no more mystery, they're gonna be no more uh uh things that can be misinterpreted, but rather manifestations. God's program in judgment is now is just gonna go straight through, no delay, um, no fanfare, right? Now, let's talk about this because after this, now we got some vials. Now, before we even go into the study of the vile judgments, and we're talking about in Revelation 14. Um in Revelation 14, and that's gonna be Revelation 14, 6 through 7. Before we study that, we gotta understand that these take place in the latter half. So after the trumpets are done, we have the vile judgment. This is where that 144,000 um has been completed. Jesus is saying there's no more delay, and now we're gonna go forward into the the wrapping of this thing. And at this time, the Bible talks about there being an angel proclamating to the whole world and every nation, every tongue, every person, an everlasting gospel. Now, this everlasting means ages upon ages, it means it it is a the gospel that's going to um outlive all of us and just be whoever, I mean, is it's going to extend past beyond anything that we could ever think about. We can't really understand what everlasting means. It's really I had a um I was I was doing a sermon and it was kind of brought to me that um if you took a drop of water and you put it to to drip at random intervals and you put an iron ball under that drop, that drop of water would be able to oxidize that r that iron ball. I mean the iron ball the size of the planet, it'd be able to oxidize the the iron ball, the size of the planet, chip that rust away, get all the way through that ball, through the other side of the ball, the giant earth side ball, before one day of eternity had passed. Just to give you an idea. We don't we can't even understand what eternity and everlasting is now. Keep in mind though, I want to say something to you because when they it talks about angel preaching something, this is this is a kind of a message that we gotta understand because no angel can preach a message of new birth, it can only be preached about from newborn or born-again men. So, what is this everlasting gospel that an angel is gonna preach? It's gonna be found in verse 7. Fear God, give glory to him, and worship the creator. Now, this message is going to be very needed into in what's coming. Now, God is literally telling the people, okay, man, look, this is the judgment, but this is gonna how you're gonna make it better. Um, maybe you should follow this prescription before you really need it. Let's take like when you go to the dentist, you get a toothpull, they say it takes Tylenol before you go. This is what God is basically telling them to do, all right. So now we get into Revelation 15, and that's when that's kind of where the eye of the storm closes back in. Um, because now we're going into the seven vile judgments, and things get exponentially worse rapidly. Um, and this is at this point, we're now we're now all the way into the full wrath of God, and we just can't really even understand that that we can't even understand how bad it is. And the these are the things that uh we're gonna talk about because this is gonna be talking about uh first, we're gonna talk about the tribulation martyrs, which means people who are are going to die during the tribulation for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Now, that tells me that there are people who are going to say, okay, maybe maybe I was wrong, and let's start preaching the word of God and be killed for it. Um, and but they are all they are going to come in conflict with what we call the antichrist, and I mean the antichrist with the capital A, not anti-Christian values like we have now. This is gonna be accelerated a thousand fold, and there's gonna be um, and it's gonna be a time where John saw these seven angels that came out of the temple of heaven, and one of the living creatures is gonna give each of these vials a vial full of God's wrath. It's gonna God is gonna have so much wrath, this is gonna be look, this is gonna look like a physical liquid, and the temple is gonna be full of smoke, and that also speaks of judgment. And from this moment, neither angel nor man is gonna have access to the throne of God's judgment. That means God is going to be completely cut off from everybody until the end of the tribulation, and these vials and these plagues and these judgments are going to complete the execution of these judgments. And now, when we look at when we think about vial, we think about um like a little glass tube with some liquid in it, you know, like the like a test tube or something like that. No, no, no. The vial, the word vial kind of means bowl, and so the the idea being pictured here in Revelation is more of a bowl being filled up and then being emptied and poured out. Um, now we have we have right now a privilege of drinking from the cup of salvation, but during the this part of the tribulation, you're gonna be drinking from the the bowl of God's wrath. And so it's it's very it's very solemn and a very sobering thought. You think God has done some things before and he's angry. This we've seen nothing yet because he is fully going to cut himself off from us before these bowls get delivered. Now, the the uh the these last seven bold judgments, which they we're wrapping up everything, because in Revelation 16, these literally have to be accepted as literal. There's no uh scriptural setting for symbolizing these judgments. Um, so and these four judgments are going to occur. Um uh like, for example, just like when when God did the the first time he did it was with the with the plagues in Egypt. They were literal then, they were actually literal then, and they're going to be literal here in Revelation. Um now keep in mind we're still in the very middle of the tribulation, and during this time, antichrist is going to be the object of worship. We're going to anybody's here, I don't want to say we because I don't want to be here, but um, anybody left on the planet will consider the antichrist God, and they're going to be deceived into it. And you know, I was um I was just talking to my wife the other day, and I I was like, I can't understand, I couldn't understand how people can be deceived this way, but just based on how easily people are deceived, you would not you would not be able to deceive people this easily 10 years ago, 15 years ago. But now, I mean, people believe a lie 12 times before you they'll even consider the truth. So, um, so the Antichrist is going to be um the object of worship here, and so this is what's going to generate that first bowl of wrath, and that first judgment is going to be directed at the beast worshipers because you had the Antichrist, you got the beast, and the people who worship the beast is going to get the first vial, and it says the people who uh uh worship the beast is gonna be afflicted with painful boils. Now, these boils are usually are being described as noisome, which means basically they're gonna be extremely annoying and extremely painful, and you're not going to be able to shut them out, all right. And then we're gonna go into that, and I was um actually, then this is just out of the book of JJ, so um I kind of understand now how that's going to happen, and and this is just a thing. Theory. I'm not, this is not the word of God. This is just the book of JJ. And I will tell you when I think it's the word of God, or every once in a while, I'll tell you what I think is the book of JJ. This is what I think is going to be the book of JJ. We have a way right now of implanting anything we want under the skin. And boils come from the skin. And it is very easy to think that somehow God is going to affect that thing that is going to be placed under our skin, whether we consider it AI or whatever that thing is, an AI-powered chip, or a chip that is basically powered by our bioelectric uh fields that we generate that God teaches us how to generate just to live. Who knows? We we don't know. I don't know yet, but it it seems like there's a thing that it is whatever this is, um, God is going to cause this thing to generate boils, and that is going to be a very, very painful thing. Remember now, we've already passed that point where we've had that five-month period where people wanted to die and couldn't. So I don't know how that how badly these boils are going to be, but I do know the other time when God has has talked about boils in the Bible. We're talking about Job, we're talking about Egypt. I mean, they literally lived in misery, and every moment was misery. I don't know if anyone's ever had any boils. I don't think I've ever had any, but just imagine boils all over your body. You can't sit down, you can't stand up, you can't lay down, you can't roll over. I mean, it it's literally all every inch of your exposed skin being covered by a painful sore. Um, I I I was looking at um I was reading something about like burn victims and how they have to be kept in a coma because even the idea of even the mere action of laying in a hospital bed was so painful that it would literally short circuit their brains and they would die, which is why they introduced why they induced coma. Alright, so those are gonna be that's gonna be just the one boil, um, that one first vile judgment, that bold judgment for boils. Uh, I know I've said that word too many times, but I I want to get that point across. At this point, God has cut us off because we have firmly decided as a species to worship this beast rather than to worship God. With that being said, we are out of time. Um I know it's a little sober, and now I'm probably gonna it's probably gonna be like this for the rest of the studies because right now it just feels like it's there's there's no hope. Um, and so this is more of a warning to all of us that we have to get right. How do you get right? The Bible says we gotta repent of our sins, be baptized in Jesus' name, and get the Holy Ghost. Now, how do you know you get the Holy Ghost? You speak in other tongues, the Spirit gives the utterance. And I'm not talking about hook them aside, tie my tie, get a red hunt, die. No, no, no. I'm talking about actual plugging in to the Spirit of God and letting God speak with His Spirit through you. Alright? I love each and every one of you. I love each and every one of you. I I pray for you. I thank you all. Love you. Thank you for liking and sharing the questions that that you send me. I will get to them. I know I'm backlogged because this study has gone so long, but we're almost to the end of it. So I love each and every one of you. See you all in the next one. God bless you.
