Pentecost 2008—Day
50 PM Service
Part 2
Now let’s continue on,
we’ll finish up here in Matthew 13 and notice the final verse we want to
read here—v 43: “Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the
kingdom of their Father. The one who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Whenever you read that, that means that there’s much more to this than what
has been given here, so you listen to this, and you also put together the
rest of the Scriptures so you can come to a complete, whole understanding of
it. So, let’s do that.
-
We’ve seen that it’s a harvest.
-
We have seen that it’s
firstfruits.
-
We have seen the connection between the
harvest and the resurrection, because it talks about it right here,
doesn’t it? Yes it does.
Now let’s see the
parallel for the harvest beginning with Christ and then us. Let’s come to
1-Corinthians 15:17: “But if Christ has
not been raised, your faith is vain… [But He has been raised. And
what was He? His resurrection and ascension pictured what? The Sheaf of
the firstfruits offering. The very first
harvest of those from the dead. Now, we’re going to see about the
firstfruits here, and then we’re going to see
about the firstborn—how that applies to Christ, and then how it applies to
us.] (v 18): …And those who have fallen asleep in Christ have then
perished. If in this life only we have
hope in Christ, we are of all people most miserable.
But now Christ has been raised from
the dead; He has become the first-fruit of those who have
fallen asleep” (vs 17-20). So this is
the fulfillment of the premier sheaf that the priest was to wave as
the instructions were given in Lev. 23.
Now, let’s read on: “For
since by man came death, by man also came the
resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in
Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the
firstfruit… [Harvest! Right? Yes!] …then,
those who are Christ’s at His coming” (vs
21-22). And we’ll talk about His coming. That’s the rest of the harvest.
Just like we have the parallel back there in Lev. 23—the first wave sheaf
offering, and then we come to the completed harvest; and then we have the
final product, the two wave loaves brought to the priest. And they are waved
before the Lord to be accepted of the Lord. That’s a type of the first
resurrection.
Now, let’s see
something else here that’s important concerning us. Let’s come to James, the
first chapter, and let’s see where we are called a type of
firstfruits. Remember, James was the brother of
Jesus. So let’s pick it up here in James 1:18: “According to His own will,
He begat us by the Word of truth… [Now that’s the seed that was
sown.] …that we might be a kind of firstfruits
of all His created beings.” Now as we’ve already covered, we are
being created in the image of Christ right now. That’s important to realize.
So we are kind of a firstfruits. We are the rest
of the harvest: Christ the firstfruit, then
those who are His at His coming. That ties in and agrees exactly with Matt.
13.
Now let’s look at
something else concerning Christ and applied in another way. Let’s come to
Matthew 1:25—and we are going to see that this talks about Christ as the
firstborn. “But he [Joseph] did not have sexual relations with her
until after she had given birth to her son, the firstborn…” So Jesus
was Mary’s firstborn, and then we see later he had three other brothers and
he had some sisters—doesn’t say how many. So must for the lying doctrine of
the Catholic Church of the perpetual virginity of Mary. You just have to
understand, the religions of this world do not understand the Bible. Now
because they quote a Scripture here or there and sound very sanctimonious,
it gives the appearance that they understand the Bible, but they don’t. What
they try and do is say that the word ‘brother’ in Greek really means
cousins. Well now, His brothers were not cousins, they were His
brothers. So much for the Truth!
Now, let’s come to
Colossians, the first chapter, and let’s understand something concerning
Jesus and being firstborn. He was firstborn in another way, as well.
Colossians 1:18—it talks about that right here. “And He is the Head of the
body, the church; Who is the beginning, the firstborn from
among the dead… [so we have the parallel. Firstfruit/firstborn.
One being the symbolism of the crop; one being the literal firstborn from
the dead. So Christ was firstborn of Mary and firstborn from among the
dead.] …so that in all things He Himself might hold the preeminence [before
God].”
Now, let’s come to
Hebrews, the first chapter—and here the King James has a
mistranslation of it, but here in book of Hebrews 1—it talks about Jesus
Christ and being firstborn, again. The King James has it ‘firstborn’
but it actually is ‘have begotten you’—that’s the day that He was begotten.
That’s not the verse that I wanted there. Let’s come to Revelation, the
first chapter then. Just a few pages over in the new order in the new Bible.
And I’m sure that when you get yours it will take you a little while to get
used to the new order. But once you get used to new order you’ll be able to
find your way around it just fine.
Now, let’s come to
Revelation 1:3: “Blessed is the one who reads, and those who hear the
words of this prophecy and who keep the things that are
written therein; for the time is at hand. John to the seven churches
that are in Asia: Grace and peace be to you from Him Who is,
and Who was, and Who is to come; and from the seven spirits that are
before His throne; And from Jesus Christ, the faithful Witness, the
Firstborn from the dead…” (vs 3-5). Now,
we read back in 1-Cor. 15: ‘Christ the Firstfruit’—here
we have the ‘Firstborn’—and that’s talking about the resurrection. Then it
says, ‘and afterward, those that are Christ’s at His coming.’
Now, let’s see also, as
we’ve covered earlier, let’s come back to Hebrews 12, that we are called
‘the church of the firstborn.’ Isn’t that interesting. The
firstfruits/the firstborn go hand-in-hand. Now
Hebrews 12:22: “But you have come to Mount Sion,
and to the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem; and to
an innumerable company of angels; To the joyous festival gathering…
[That’s very important for us to understand, because when we are resurrected
and meet Christ in the air, we have to ask where and what will
that be?] …and to the church of the firstborn, registered
in the book of life in heaven; and to God, the Judge of all; and
to the spirits of the just who have been perfected” (vs
22-23).
All right, let’s come
back to 1-Corinthians 15, and let’s see what it talks about concerning the
resurrection. And this gives us a good understanding of the resurrection. So
let’s follow along here. 1-Corinthians 15:34—where Paul writes: “Awake
to righteousness… [There are a lot in the
Church of God that that
is applicable today.] …and do not sin, for some of you do not have
the knowledge of God. I say this to your shame…. [And some of them
said, the resurrection’s already over because Christ was resurrected. So
what was coming into the Church? Everybody’s going to heaven. Isn’t
that something?] …Nevertheless, someone will say, ‘How are the dead raised? And with what
body do they come?’…. [Are you going to have the same body? Well, he’s
talking here about the first resurrection. He’s not talking here about the
second resurrection. We save that for the Last Great Day.] …Fool! What you
sow does not come to life unless it dies…. [And that’s what Jesus said of
Himself. A grain, if it is not planted and if it does not die, it does not
bear fruit—and He was referring to His life. But after His resurrection,
He’s bearing all the fruit that’s in the Church. So, it does not come to
life unless it dies and disintegrates and brings new life.] (v 37
[transcriber’s correction]): …And
what you sow is not the body that shall be; rather, it is bare
grain—it may be of wheat, or one of the other grains… [Because we
talked about the wheat harvest; we talked about the barley harvest, didn’t
we?] …And God gives it a body according to His will, and to each of
the seeds its own body” (vs 34-38).
I never cease to be
amazed, when you look out and see all the kinds of plants and all the kinds
of trees, fruit trees and nut trees, and you see everything that is grown
out of the ground—and the difference is contained in the seed. Out of the
same soil will come something sweet; will come something bitter; will come a
fruit, will come a nut, will come a grape, will come an apple or an orange.
And all of that is because God put it in the seed! So
likewise, if we have the seed of God in our minds, and we die in the faith,
when we are resurrected it’s not going to be the same physical body—it’s
going to be a spiritual body. And that’s what he’s explaining here in 1-Cor.
15.
Verse 39: “Likewise,
not all flesh is the same flesh. Rather, there is one flesh of
men, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fish, and another of birds.
And there are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but the glory of
the heavenly is different, and the glory of the earthly is
different. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of
the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star
differs from another star in glory” (vs
39-41). So he’s drawing the comparison here and likening that to the
resurrection. Now what did Jesus say that the saints? Would be
resurrected, the good seed, and they would shine in glory like the sun in
the Father’s Kingdom. So here, Paul is following right along with
further explanation of what Jesus meant.
Verse 42: “So also
is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption… [We all grow
old and die.] …it is raised in incorruption.” Because, you see, everything
that you are is contained in the spirit in man and the Spirit of God; and
when you die, the body dies, but the spirit, not having consciousness goes
back to God. Because the Spirit of God, the spirit of man, cannot have
consciousness until it is in a mind and body. So that’s why it says in Heb.
12, ‘to the spirits of just men made perfect.’ And being dead is likened to
sleeping, as we will see. So there’s no memory, there’s no activity there;
it’s just like the recording that we are doing here. This recording, by
itself—the CD by itself—is not worth very much. You’ve got to have a CD
player to put it into to play. Then you have to have the energy and power to
make it work. So likewise the resurrection. The perfected spirit of man with
God’s Spirit, with us, is stored by God for the resurrection. Now, where
He’s storing it, that’s up to Him. He doesn’t tell us every one of His
secrets. But we can believe Him that it’s in safekeeping.
Verse 43: “It is sown
in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in
power. It is sown a natural body; it is
raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual
body” (vs 43-44). So that’s what we’re going to
have when we’re resurrected—spiritual body. No more limitations of the
flesh. Won’t that be nice? No more problems that we have of over-weight, or
under-weight, or too tall, or too short, or whatever it may be. God is going
to bless us with a spiritual body, with no flaws.
“Accordingly,
it is written, ‘The first man, Adam, became a living soul; the last Adam
became an ever-living Spirit.’
However, the spiritual was not first, but the natural—then the
spiritual” (vs 45-46). And I might just
interject here: One of the doctrines of Gnosticism, which is also a main
belief of the Mormon Church, is that we all existed in the stars as spirits
first. And that’s why they have to have lots of children, so that the
spirits can come down and possess the children. No! The physical, natural
body was first, then the spiritual.
“The first man is
of the earth—made of dust…. [not from the stars in heaven] …The second man
is the Lord from heaven. As is the one made of dust; so also
are all those who are made of dust; and as is the
heavenly one, so also are all those who are heavenly…. [Now
notice, here is a tremendous promise, and never forget this]: …And as
we have borne the image of the one made of dust, we shall also bear
the image of the heavenly one. Now this I say, brethren, that
flesh and blood cannot inherit the
kingdom of God,
nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I show you a mystery: we
shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed, In an instant, in
the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet
shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be
changed” (vs 47-52). Notice, he does not say
trumpets. Singular: the trumpet shall sound.
Go back and carefully
read Numbers 10, Every Holy Day the trumpet was to be sounded. On the Feast
of Trumpets, the trumpets—all trumpets and ram’s horns—were blown all day
long. Now, remember what we covered concerning Pentecost and the giving of
the law. What happened? There was the clouds, the thunder, the lightning,
the whirlwind and the trumpet blasting long and loud! And who was
standing down at the foot of Mt. Sinai?
Israel, the firstfruit
of God. And standing is symbolic
of being resurrected. So we have the parallel between that—and as we covered
in the sermon From Mt.
Sinai to Mt.
Sion.
“…for the trumpet shall
sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed”
(v 52).
Now, we’re going to
read another one where it is not talking about trumpets, but
trumpet. We’re going to see three other references to the trumpet. Paul
calls it “the last trumpet.” Now, where do we find the “last
trumpet”?—specifically numbered and then something happens at that last
trumpet. We’ll see here in just a little bit.
Let’s go on, let’s come to
the book of Revelation; because we want to get the timing again, so we want
to have the timing of the return of Christ, and then we will bring in the
trumpet again at the appropriate time. Let’s come to Revelation 6 and let’s
just review the last part of it, when the sixth seal opens and the heavens
are rolled back as a scroll and they see the Son of man. And as we said,
everything will be changed. And the whole world is going to see this:
heavens rolled back as a scroll. And they are going to see all the things
that take place.
Verse 14: “Then the
heaven departed like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain
and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, and the
great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the powerful men,
and every bondman, and every free man hid themselves in the caves and
in the rocks of the mountains; And they said to the mountains and to the
rocks, ‘Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him Who sits on the
throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb…’” (vs
14-16). Is this the sign of the Son of man that Jesus talked about? This is
a sudden occurrence that takes place in heaven. Correct? Yes! Where
else is this described? Back in Matt. 24.
Matthew 24—let’s review
this again. We’re going to see the return of Christ takes place suddenly! It
is known, but not suddenly that He comes directly to the earth; because
there are a great many things that need to happen before He comes to the
earth—and God is going to give plenty of warning. That the whole world will
know that this the return of Jesus Christ.
All right, Matthew
24:29: “But immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall
be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light… [Exactly as we read back
there in Rev. 6] …and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of
the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of
man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they
shall see the Son of man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and
great glory” (vs 29-30). Now, that also ties in
with Rev. 1, that every eye is going to see Him. All the tribes of the earth
will morn and wail because of Him. But what is this going appear like, when
it’s in heaven?
All right, v 27—here’s
how the sign of the Son of man appears: “For as the light of day, which
comes forth from the east and shines as far as the west, so
also shall the coming of the Son of man be.” Now that has to be the sixth
seal in Rev. 6, beginning in v 12 to the end of it. And it’s going to be
there.
Now, as I pointed out
yesterday, that it shines—and the Greek means as the sun or moon and
stars; and it also means a flash of light. So this is going to
take place instantly and that’s when the heavens roll back as a scroll. The
light shines in a great flash, and then continues shining as if it’s another
sun that was never seen before—and continues there. Now, I have said that
perhaps this takes place on the next to the last Pentecost, because then
right after that is when the 144,000 and the great innumerable multitude are
sealed. And they come out of great tribulation. So when that takes place,
there’s going to be mass repentance and mass conversion.
So let’s continue on
here. Let’s come down to v 31: “And He shall send His angels… [and it
doesn’t mean immediately, because we’ll see the timing between v 30 & v 31,
there are many things yet to take place before the harvest.] …with a great
sound of a trumpet… [notice: a trumpet—not a day-long blasting
of trumpets. It is a particular trumpet. Paul says, it is the
last trumpet. Now, if it was the last trumpet of trumpets being sounded all
day long, on the Feast of Trumpets, then as I mentioned, then you’re already
to the end of the Feast of Trumpets. And those who believe in a resurrection
of the Feast of Trumpets, cannot happen until the last trump, and that
trumpet would not be sounded until the end of the day. So the resurrection
couldn’t take place until after Trumpets. That’s why the parallel of the
harvest of the firstfruits must be on Pentecost.
We have the next to the last Pentecost, when the 144,000 (Rev. 7) and the
great innumerable multitude are sealed. Comes around one year later and then
we have the harvest at the last trump.
When you read the
account of the workers in the field and where it was that the master of the
field went out to the men gathered around the marketplace and said, ‘Do you
need the work.’ Yes. ‘Well, go out into my field and I will pay you
thus-an-such for working.’ And he came back at different times during the
day and at the eleventh hour of the day he came back and there were still
some there waiting to be hired. And he said, ‘Go work in my field—even
though it’s the eleventh hour—and I’ll pay you what’s right.’ So when it
came time to pay all the workers, he started with the last and paid them the
same as those who worked in the heat of the day. And those who worked in the
heat of the day began complaining: ‘Why are you giving them the same amount
that you’re giving us. Didn’t we bear the heat of the day.’ And he said,
‘Well, I can do with I own what I desire.’
But the point of it is:
there are going to be last minute converts. And they will be converted for
one year. Prior to that we had the martyrdom. There are those who are still
in the place of safety, still alive. Now, God adds to it the 144,000 and
great innumerable multitude. And since the Church started on Pentecost, and
now here we have the first of the giving of the Holy Spirit to those with
the appearance of the sign of the Son of man in heaven—the 144,000 and great
innumerable multitude. So he’s going to send them out with the sound of the
trumpet and “…and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds,
from one end of heaven to the other” (v 31).
Let’s come to
1-Thessalonians, the fourth chapter, and let’s review that again. I know we
already covered it, but sometimes we need to cover it from several different
perspectives so we make sure that we get everything in, because there are a
lot of events that are going to take place when the resurrection occurs and
all the time leading up to the resurrection. But the point I want to make
here is this: Nowhere does it show that Trumpets is a harvest feast. Nowhere
does it show that it’s the last trumpet blown on the Feast of
Trumpets—because trumpets are blown all day long. When you really analyze
the Feast of Trumpets, it is a war feast. And yes, it does involved
the last part of the return of Christ and the saints. But the first part of
the return of Christ starts out with the heavens ripping open and rolling
back as a scroll—and then the sign of the Son of man appearing as a great,
shining light. And because the earth is turning on its axis, then it looks
like it’s shining from the east to the west. Although it starts out with a
brilliant blasting light.
Now, 1-Thessalonians
[transcriber’s correction] 4:15:
“For this we say to you by the Word of the Lord, that we who
are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall in no wise precede
those who have fallen asleep… [Now the ones who are alive at the coming of
the Lord, are the 144,000, the great innumerable multitude and those who are
in the place of safety.] …Because the Lord Himself shall descend from
heaven with a shout of command… [which it will; heavens will roll
back as a scroll, they’ll see the sign of the Son of man in heaven—and it
will be there from the time of Rev. 6:12—which is just about another year
and four months until the Trumpets when Christ and His saints return to the
earth. So it’s going to be up there for an extended period of time. Now the
resurrection does not take place when the sign of the Son of man appears in
heaven. That comes one year later.] …with the voice of an archangel
and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first…
[Now, you need other Scriptures to put in the timing of sequence when those
events will take place.] …Then we who are alive and remain… [We’re not going
to precede those who have died.] …shall be caught up together with them…
[that is by the angels] …in the clouds… [that’s in the first heaven]
…for the meeting with the Lord in the air… [And as we saw in
Heb. 12, the meeting is the festival gathering. And that festival gathering
has got to be the last Pentecost.] …and so shall we always be with the
Lord” (vs 15-17).
So again, we find a
trumpet, the last trumpet, a trumpet. Nowhere do we find the Feast of
Trumpets associated with the resurrection. But we do find it [the
resurrection transcriber’s insert for clarity] associated with
the harvest, with the reaping, with the parallel between Christ as the
firstfruits and those of us who are the Church
of the Firstborn. And we are the firstfruits of
Christ right now and the harvest will be, as He said, at the end of the age.
Now, let’s come to the
book of Revelation again and let’s see when that trumpet is blown, because
there’s only one ‘last trumpet.’ And there is only one trumpet that is blown
for the resurrection, and that does not take place in Rev. 19 as Christ is
coming back to the earth. He’s going to show Himself in the heavens. The
sign of the Son of man is going to be there. Then when it comes down in time
from that point, this is where we pick it up in the book of Revelation
again, after the 144,000 and great, innumerable multitude, then we have
chapter eight.
So let’s read
Revelation 8:1—and we will see what it tells us: “Now when He opened
the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about a half
hour. Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets
were given to them…. [So now we have a definitive number—seven. Now, let’s
understand something: These angels did not blow all seven trumpets at the
same time. They’re blown in sequence, beginning with the first down to the
last. All right, we’ll see that.] …And another angel, who had a golden
censer, came and stood at the altar; and much incense was given to him, so
that he might offer it with the prayers of all the saints on the
golden altar that was before the throne.
And the smoke of the incense went up
before God from the hand of the angel, ascending with the prayers of
the saints. And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire
from the altar, and cast it into the earth; and there were voices,
and thunders, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to
sound their trumpets. And the first angel… [not all seven at once]
…sounded his trumpet…” (vs 1-7)—and it
explains what happened with that.
Verse 8: “Then the
second angel sounded his trumpet…”—and it explains what happened with
that. Verse 10: “And the third angel sounded his trumpet…”—so it’s in
sequence. And we’re coming down to the last trumpet. Verse 12: “Then the
fourth angel sounded his trumpet…” Revelation 9:1: “And the fifth
angel sounded his trumpet…” And then we find here v 13: “And the
sixth angel sounded his trumpet…” Now, when do we see another trumpet
blown? We’ll explain all about this because this has to do with introducing
the events that take place leading up to the actual return of Christ and the
saints on the earth.
We don’t find it in
Revelation 10, do we? In Revelation 10 we have the seven thunders. We don’t
know what they are because John was not allowed to write it. So let’s come
over here to Revelation 10:7: “But in the days of the voice of the seventh
angel, when he is about to sound the trumpet, the mystery of God
shall also be completed, according to the gospel that He declared to
His servants the prophets.” Now when is that seventh trumpet sounded?
We come over here to
Revelation 11—the first part of it is an inset talking about the temple and
the two witnesses and what they do. Now, after they are killed and they have
been lying in the streets in Jerusalem, after their ministry of 1260 days,
they lie in the streets of Jerusalem 3-1/2 days—v 11: “Then after the three
and a half days, the spirit of life from God entered into them and
they stood on their feet; and great fear fell upon those who were watching
them. And they heard a great voice from heaven, say, “Come up here!” And
they ascended into heaven in a cloud… [the first heaven] …and their enemies
saw them rise. And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a
tenth of the city fell; and seven thousand men were killed in the
earthquake. And the rest were filled with fear, and gave glory to the God of
heaven. The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe is coming immediately.
Then the seventh angel sounded his trumpet… [that’s the last
trumpet. Now, notice what happens. Ties right in with what Jesus said in
Matt. 13 & 24.]: …and there were great voices in heaven, saying, ‘The
kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and His
Christ, and He shall reign into the ages of eternity.’ And the twenty-four
elders, who sit before God on their thrones, fell on their faces and
worshiped God, Saying, ‘We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, Who is, and
Who was, and Who is to come; for You have taken to Yourself
Your great power, and have reigned. For the nations were angry, and Your
wrath has come, and the time for the dead to be judged, and to give reward
to Your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to all those
who fear Your name, the small and the great; and to destroy those who
destroy the earth’” (vs 11-18). So there it’s
talking about the resurrection; because you can’t give reward to them unless
they’re resurrected.
Now, let’s again review
the harvest in Revelation 14, and it shows, as we saw on Pentecost, two
harvests: the harvest of the righteous. Revelation 14:14: “And I looked, and
behold, a white cloud, and one like the Son of man sitting on
the cloud, having a golden crown on His head; and in His hand was a
sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud
voice to Him Who was sitting on the cloud, ‘Thrust in your sickle and reap,
because the time has come for You to reap; for the harvest of the earth is
ripe’” (vs 14-15). That’s the resurrection. And
that agrees with what Jesus said: the angels are the reapers, and who is it
doing it here but the angels. Then He talks about the ones that clusters of
grape and that harvest for wrath.
So now they’re
resurrected. As Jesus said, the angels are going to lift them up.
1-Thessalonians said we’re going to meet Him in the air, in the clouds.
Jesus said He’s returning with the clouds—so there we have them meeting
together. And now, when the resurrection takes place at the last Pentecost,
because as we will see there are things to take place after the
resurrection, with the saints in the air on the
Sea of Glass. Now let’s
understand something: It talks about those who have been resurrected
standing on the Sea of Glass.
I’ll expand a little
bit more on that in events leading up to Pentecost, but let’s just mention
this. There are three place that talk about the False Prophet. Do you
believe that there is a False Prophet? Yes! How many times does
something have to be mentioned in the Bible to be true? Once! If it
talks about the Sea of Glass here, it means a
literal sea of glass—just like it was back in Exodus 24; just like it was in
Revelation 4. And those who had gotten victory over the Beast, which is
Satan through all time, and over his mark, which is at the end-time; and
over his number and his name, standing on the Sea of Glass. And they have
their lyres and they’re going to sing the Song of Moses and the Song of the
Lamb. That refers back to those two loaves that were waved on the Day of
Pentecost, which had to do with those of the Old Testament and those of the
New Testament. So there’s an awful lot that takes place on the Sea of
Glass.
So, I’m going to bring
a sermon, which is going to cover all the things that have to take place on
the Sea of Glass; and why we are there
on the Sea of Glass from a Pentecost
resurrection and then we return with Christ on the following Feast of
Trumpets.
