Thank you all, thank you, love each and one, every one of you uh for being a part of the Walker community. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I cannot thank you enough, and I cannot thank God for each and every one of you who are listening. Because without God, you are you know, there is no podcast. Without you, there is no reason to have the podcast. So uh love each and every one of you, and I just want to make sure that uh I say that. I don't think I say that enough how much I love each and every one of you who are listening, and I thank each and every one of you who are listening. Uh big shout out to our sponsors, True Bars the Lyricist, who do who uh does the intro and the outro, uh, and uh Squizz Creations who's making us some um dominoes, which which has a nice little axe 238 on the back of it, really nice. Uh, can't wait to see the final product. Um, so I I do thank each and every one of you. We're gonna go ahead and jump right into this week's episode because we have a lot of ground to cover. Now, if you you recall, um, we're still doing the end time Bible study, and we had a little bit of a break because I had to give a tribute to my good friend, one of our very first Walker listeners, Tony Root, who went to meet the Lord the other week. Oh, you can still go now. Um, but before that, we were uh talking about the end times, and we were kind of doing like a step-by-step walkthrough through the Revelation and how Revelation and Daniel uh correlate their sister books, and just to have a quick recap, um, you can't you really we really should not read Revelation without Daniel, and we should not read Daniel without Revelation because they're more like brother and brother books. I don't keep saying sister books, but they're more like brother and brother books. But now we are firmly in the book of Revelation, and we have uh I believe we've wrapped up the vial, and I I had to speed through them because I wanted them all through, but I think I still have two or three of the vials left. If you recall, the vials had a lot of boils on them and had a lot of physical things and had a lot of earthly connotations to them, and I don't believe the way this way that section of Revelation is written, that it I don't believe this is metaphor metaphorical, I believe it is actually very literal at this time. So when it talks about a man having boils on his skin, is actually we are going to have boils on our skin. Um, there will be some things that we're gonna talk about that are metaphorical, and if you know, I will try from my understanding to kind of point out where I think it's going to be metaphorical. So let's go ahead and get into it again. I thank each and every one of you. Um, so we are somewhere in the in the 16th chapter of Revelation right now, and we're going to just recap because I'm again not sure if we left off on the fifth or the sixth vial, and I don't want to forget these vials because they're important because they're gonna set up what happens next. Remember, the fifth vial is where um in Revelation 16 and 10, and just um for the sake of time, I'm gonna read this out of the Amplified Bible 16th and 10. It reads, When the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom has plunged in the darkness, and people gnawed their tongues because of the pain for their excruciating anguish and extreme or severe torment, and then they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their anguish and their sores, and they did not repent of what they had done, nor hate their wickedness. And that's why um last week's episode was beast boils and bad decisions, because we were having of all these things that were going on, the people who were left on earth, the people who are still alive. Remember now, I would say a good quarter of the human population has either been raptured or killed. The people who are still here would not repent, would not say, God, please help me, God, I'm sorry, God, something would not repent. So this is where we are at this point in Revelation. Alright, so and and this intense darkness and and people chewing their tongue and and and they're they're chewing their tongue just to get some sort of feeling, some sort of sensation. Because um, and and I'm reminded of when people are going to these sensory deprivation chambers, and uh the first couple seconds feel okay, but then you your mind starts kind of reaching out and going crazy because there's no sensory input. And then uh it's just a bit I don't want to get off into that, but you you really start, time begins to stretch out because your mind makes it so. So, um, and this um is kind of a a sort of a manifestation of the spiritual darkness that we will have, and this is why people will not even think to repent of the things that they've done, not even think to repent of things that um that you know that they knew were wrong. Okay, now this sixth vial, this sixth vial um is Revelation 16 and 12, and the judgment of the sixth bowl will represent the sixth trumpet judgment. Now, here you're gonna see where God dries up the Euphrates River, which is about 1800 miles long, and usually between 20 and 25, 26 feet deep in some places, and this is going to prepare the way of the armies of the east. Now, and that's going to be Revelation 16 and 12, and that reads, and the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way could be prepared for the coming of the kings of the east. But before that happens, and and this is going to be a huge army that's going to come, and we all know where what's going to happen there. But we I uh one of the things that I'm really trying not to do is get ahead of myself because remember, I told you last a couple weeks ago that now things start happening very quickly, right? Um, this kind of tells us that the kings of the east is going to be the kings of the Orient. Now, I'm not necessarily saying it's Chinese, um, because east of the Euphrates, it could just it could just as well be the Hindu armies of India, or it could be the the armies of Pakistan, it could be Thailand, it could be any where anything that's east of the Euphrates could use that as a um as a way to get where they're going. And we all know where they're going, but I don't want to get ahead of myself. Now in in 16 and 13 and 14, John starts talking about three unclean spirits, and these unclean spirits are going to have an appearance of a frog, and not saying they're gonna look like frogs, and now they're gonna, you know, I know we like to draw stuff like that, but um, they're going to really come from the mouth of the dragon and the beast and the false prophet. They're gonna be three of them, and and basically here's where we start getting more metaphorical. Why do you say that? Because is a frog going to come out somebody's mouth? Probably not, but frogs are very noisy, and they're also heard at night, and they like to be heard at night when you can't see anything. Um, and when we think about frogs, we think about how slippery and how slimy they are. They they frequent swamps, you know, and we're not talking about the toads, the little the frogs that the toads that hang on the side of your wall. We're really talking about frogs here. And these evil spirits are going to be a lot like these frogs, they're gonna be heard at a very dark time in man mankind's history, and uh they're gonna be noisy and vocal, and they're going to uh really enjoy being in what we call the like a swampy area of our morality. So you know they're going to really kind of push the idea of sin and and debauchery, and you think the things that we had should have repented of before, they're really going to push that even further. Now, if we kind of look um at other scriptures and we can understand some nature, some of the nature of the things that these spirits are gonna push. Um, like what we talked about in Revelation 12, is going to talk about how one of the spirits are going to be coming out talking about rebellion. Rebellion against who? Rebellion against God. Remember, even through all of this, we're still not repenting, so these spirits are still going to reinforce that message of rebellion. Um, and in Revelation 13, um, there's going to be a spirit that's going to be talking about blasphemy. This is literally what these pro these frogs, these spiritual frogs, are going to be pushing. Um, in Revelation 13, we're talking about blasphemy and revelation uh 13 and 13 and around verse 14, it's going to talk about a spirit of deception. So you're going to have all these three subspirits, I guess you would call it, and they're going to be pushing rebellion, blasphemy, and deception. And they're going to package it in such a way that you will not see that that's what they're actually pushing if you're still here. I don't want to still be here. And the thing that we're going to have to figure out, especially in this scripture setting, is that these frog-like spirits, these uh these spirits that are depicted as frogs, are going to deceive the nations. And by that, um, there may be one or two people who don't fall for it because that's just how people are. Or they may not, they may fall for one or two, but not three, or they may fall for two and three and not one. But the thing is, is that these frogs are going to deceive the heads of their states, the heads of states, the presidents, the prime ministers, the religious leaders, the religious leaders that are left. They're going to be deceived by these quote-unquote frog-like spirits. And um, and because of that, it's going to trigger a global war. And how they're going to do that is they're actually going to perform miracles. Um, and this is going, and and one of the things that we can almost guarantee at this point, because people will refuse to repent, these frog-like spirits will say something like, Um, you know, you don't have to really repent to in order to believe that we could perform miracles, or something to that effect. They will leave out the fact that you have to change your life, you have to live right, you have to uh turn away from your sin and this and that, but you will still have some sort of uh success in the spiritual realm. Now, I'm not gonna say that this kind of sounds like the prosperity doctrine that you hear nowadays because we're not quite in that. This is these frog-like spirits, is this this deception is gonna be on a whole different level than what you're seeing these days. Alright. But even if all of this, we still have the last vial, the last bold judgment. Um, and this will also bring another another entirely new earthquake. And this is the seventh vial, and this is Revelation 16, uh, chapter 16, 7 through 20 17 through the 21st. And it reads like this and the seventh angel poured out his violin into the air. Now, this was not on the earth, this is not in the water, this one will be into the air. And there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven from the throne, saying, It is done. And there were voices and thunders and lightnings, and then there was a great earthquake, such as it was not seen since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake and so great, and the great city was divided into three parts, and the city of the nations fell. And great Babylon came into remembrance before God, and gave unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of God's wrath, and every island fled away, and the mountains were not found, and there fell upon man a great hail out of heaven, and every stone about a weight, let me turn the page here, about a weight of a talent, and men blaspheme God because of the plague of the hail, and the plague thereof was exceeding great. Now that says a whole lot. Now, undoubtedly, there will still be people who will feel as if they can sort of get away from uh the things that they are choosing over God. But now we're talking about this great, huge earthquake, and think just think about um the earthquake that the biggest earthquake that you've ever heard about, the biggest earthquake you've ever read about. You know, something like what we hear about in California with these nine point Richter scale earthquake, and then multiply that times infinity, because it the Bible says that there was no earthquake bigger than that since men have been created, not since recorded history, not since American history, not since European history, but in world history, it will never be another earthquake that big or have been that big before. And so much that earthquake is gonna be that big or or that terrible that the entire geographical look of the earth is gonna change. There's gonna be islands that will disappear, mountains are gonna be gone, new mountains will be formed. It every map that you know right now is going to be invalid, and that's how bad that earthquake will be. I didn't write it, I'm just telling you what the Bible says. There's a going, it's gonna be that bad. And here's the thing. On top of how bad that earthquake is, and how bad, because you know people die in earthquakes, and even as bad as that is going to be, what's gonna top it all off is the hailstones that are gonna fall down out of the sky. And in this stage, we see that word talent again, and this time the word talent is generally about 100 and 150 pounds. Now, I lived in Kansas, and I remember the the summer of like 95, 96, we had earth, we had hail so big that it was like the size of a grapefruit, and people who were caught outside in that suffered some serious injuries. Now, this is just the size of a grapefruit, so these are like I don't know, maybe a pound, maybe two pounds, maybe three pounds, and they're about the size of grapefruit or the size of a softball. And people who had on helmets were catching serious injuries, skull fractures, because these hailstones were coming out of the sky. Now, I want you to just think about it for a second and how bad the results would be if you're caught out in hundred-pound hailstones. Because in this stage, the talent is about 100-150 pounds, give or take, whatever measurement you're using is about 100 and 150 pounds. There is no go inside the house. There is no, you know, wear a helmet or wear protective clothing. This hail will kill you, will kill me if I'm still here and I'm hoping not to be here. So that is incomprehensible. I can't even comprehend or think about how bad that uh that destruction will be because it's gonna come right after that big huge earthquake. Now, some people I've heard people say, well, you know, the hailstones are gonna come because you're gonna have uh what they call projectile uh volcanic eruptions because of the earthquake. At this point, I mean, Walkers, does it really matter how you get the hailstones? The fact is the earthquake is gonna come, the hailstones are gonna come right after that, and people will be killed. Everything that you could even think of will be destroyed, and it's gonna be so bad that the great is gonna, whatever that great city is going to be, it's going to be divided into three parts. Now, we believe because the the the way the Bible writes it, the way God told John to write it, this was gonna take place at the Battle of Armageddon. And this is where Jesus will personally return and set up his kingdom, because right after that, in Revelation 16, you're gonna hear the same thing that Jesus said from the cross. Jesus said, It is finished in John 19 and 30. And at that point, he bore the sins of man and he finished God's plan of salvation. Here, however, he's gonna say, It is done, and that's going to be the completion of God's plan and the final throw of all opposition to his perfect will, his uh judgments of God. And both scenes are going to be accomplished accompanied by an earthquake. If you read your Bible, when Jesus said it is finished, there was a it was a big earthquake there, and the uh veil of the temple was torn from top to bottom. This one, it is done, is going to also be accompanied by that big earthquake that we just talked about. So it's not gonna be like someone on the other side of the planet is not gonna know that this thing happened, and man, we do have a choice of you know what that is was offered by that proclamation, it is finished, or how much we're going to suffer because of God's pronouncement, it is done. Does that make sense? You you either get to choose it is finished because your sins are going ahead to be judged, or it is done, your judgment is done. So it and and we don't want to go any further here because we're gonna go back and we're gonna talk about some things that are gonna happen in the middle of the tribulation, but I wanted to just stop right here and talk about that because it what remember now at this point, God is really just wiping a lot of things off, and and remember I told you at the beginning, um, you basically have about a one in four chance of surviving the tribulation. This is what I mean up till about this time where it says it is done, that's where all the deaths are going to happen. Because, and think about it, you have the water turning to blood, you have boils, you have you have this time where you you you're literally gonna seek death and can't accomplish it, and all of this is because of God's judgment. Now, I get it. Some of you are listening right now, you're gonna say, Well, why would God be so mean? It's not about God being mean. I and I wish I could read. Impart that upon each and every one of you because I I thought that too. Like, okay, well, why don't just God issue one judgment and and let us repent? Uh, because He's given us that time now, He's given us that time to get our hearts right. I mean, we've got we already know what's going to happen. Now, and if you choose not to believe it, or if I choose not to believe it, yeah, that that's kind of on us. But that's not gonna stop God from making his judgment or to do his judgment, and it's not gonna stop anything that happens to us, and it's not going to stop that whatever that one in four chance that you and I have of surviving the tribulation. That's why we have to make the Bible says make our calling and election. Sure, we gotta be out of here when all of this happens. Now you're gonna say, Well, JJ, how does that happen? Listen, the only way to make sure that happens is to go in the rapture, and the only way to go into rapture is to follow the plan of salvation as the Bible lays out. You gotta repent now. You have to and and and let me just stop because I'm gonna I'm gonna go through the plan of salvation, but I don't want you to think that it's all about being perfect, it's not, it's not, but you have to be able to ask God to forgive you of the things you've done, and you ain't gotta go back, hey, and I was in third grade, I stole an eraser from my classmate. No, no, no. God forgive me of all the bad things I've done now, up to now. I believe you died for my sins. Forgive me of my sin, and get baptized in Jesus' name, and get the and pray and get the Holy Ghost, and that's it. Just like Acts 238, repent, be baptized, every one of you, the name of Jesus Christ, and get the gift of the Holy Ghost. And how do you know you got it? You start speaking in tongues, and I'm not talking about hook them aside, tie my tyra, get a red Hyundai, and and I saw a big guy. No, no, no, none of that stuff. I'm talking about real Holy Ghost filled, and because I'm gonna tell you something. When you do get the Holy Ghost, how you know you get the Holy Ghost, how I knew I got the Holy Ghost, because I didn't know at first. Um, I didn't hear myself speaking tongues. I kept trying to say hallelujah, and then my tongue didn't, my mouth didn't work anymore. I still didn't know I had it. How I knew I had the Holy Ghost was because the next couple days, not only was like everything so wonderful and great now again, well, for the first time, but I was different and I felt a little different. I think I noticed like three days later I wasn't cursing, and nobody tell you. I mean, I I I I don't like when people say, Hey, you okay, man, you got the Holy Ghost. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's something you have to know because God gave it to you. That is a thing between you and God. Now, the rest of us around you will know because we're gonna hear you speak in tongues, but you have to acknowledge it yourself. And uh, I I know I I just want to make sure that we cover this because that is the only way you and I would avoid these entire these judgments. The only way, and the only way to get out of here is to have that, and that's gonna be well, JJ. You know, the rapture's not in the Bible, but it it the word rapture is not in the Bible, the word Christian is not in the Bible. Well, if it is, I mean it it's very seldom mentioned. The Bible talks about being the church, but you have we come up with words to kind of encapsulate what that means. But what it what the rapture is is when God calls his people home. Paul says, and you know, the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with the shout, with the voice of the archangel, with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first, and then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up with them to be to meet the Lord in the air, and therefore we shall forever be with him. Second Thessalonians 4 and 6. Now, this instead of to encapsulate all of that, we came up with a word, and it's called the rapture. But that word rapture, no, it is not in the Bible anywhere at all. But the only way to avoid you know, suffering through everything from chapter 5 to chapter 16 is to go up in that rapture. And I I we still have a lot of things to cover, but I think we're about two-thirds of the way through this Bible study. So um I I thank you for listening. I'm kind of over time on this one. I love y'all. And remember, if you have any questions or anything like that, make sure you email me, walk with me bible study at gmail, walk with me bible study at gmail, all in word. And um, I know I gave you a couple scripture, but remember the entire the rule is to read a verse or two above, a verse or two below, but before really the whole chapter, because context is key. I love each and every one of you. I will see y'all on the next one. God bless you all.
