Please do not abuse the time. All right, so right into it. We are doing what? Preparing to meet with Yahuwah, all right, preparing to meet with Yahuwah.
Again, this is coming from Shemot, Exodus 19, 1 through 3. And so we're going to start. I'm just going to review this because there's this, you know, we're preparing our minds, right? We're preparing our minds for what we're getting ready to do. And on the third Kodesh of the month after the people of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, Mitzrayim, on the day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
And they set out from Rafah Din and came to the wilderness of Sodom. They encamped in the wilderness. There Israel encamped before the mountain. Where's this mountain located?
Where's the mountain located? What do they say over there at the exit of Shemot 3? The mountain of Elohim is located where? It's inside. It's a wilderness.
But what else is it called? We say it every day. Every time we say the Shemot.
I mean, every time we say the... Alright. Alright.
Alright. Alright. The mountain of Elohim.
That's why... There's a region there. Alright. No quick questions. None.
This is... Stuff... Lock it in because somebody might ask you, what's the difference?
Is it the same thing or is it different? It's all in the region, right? Some people call it Mount Sinai.
While Moses went up to Elohim, Elohim called out of the mountain saying, you shall say to the house of Yaakov and tell the people of Israel what you're going to say. He's giving some instructions in remembrance to the covenant and what he wants to do. You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, to the Mizarites, and how I bore you on eagles'wings and brought you to myself.
Now, therefore, here's the covenant condition. If you will indeed obey my voice and keep my commandments, you shall be my treasured possessions among all people. For all the earth is mine and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a set apart nation. These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.
And we said, so Moses came down and called the elders of people and set them before all these words that Yahuwah had commanded him. And the people answered together and said, what? All that Yahuwah has spoken, we will do. And Moses reported the words of the people to Yahuwah. Let's keep it moving.
Now, 9-11. And Yahuwah said to Moshe, Behold, I am coming in the thick clouds, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may believe you forever. When Moses told the words of the people to Yahuwah, Yahuwah said to Moses, Go. Now here's some instructions.
Go to the people and consecrate them. Kodesh, to mean to set apart, remove from the uncommon. So everybody's been following the instructions thus far.
Brethren? Brethren? All right. So this is the first half.
All right. Tell them today and tomorrow and let them wash their garments and be ready for the third day. From the third day, Yahuwah will come down. on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. Now we're following a pattern.
We're following a pattern. Let me get to it. Let me get to it.
I just want to get through the preliminary here. All right. And you shall set limits.
So here's another thing he gives us instruction on. There are boundaries, you know. There are boundaries that have been set for all the people around saying, take care not to go into the mountain or touch the edge of it.
Whoever touches the mountain shall be, shall what? Be put to death. right?
No hand shall touch him. That means your boy went up to, oh man, you can't, you gone and he gone. Your animal touch it, man or beast, you shall not live.
When the trumpet sounds a long blast, they shall come up to the mountain. So you got an opportunity to come, but it's only when the signal are you've given permission to, all right? So there are things that we're allowed to do, things that we're not allowed to do, all right?
You know, here's Hebrews 12, 18. And they have, and for you have not come to what could be touched, a blazing fire, darkness and gloom and a tempest, and the sound of the trumpet and the voice of whose words made the hearings, beg that no further message to be spoken to them. Think if you hear that father's voice like that, it was trembling, thought it was going to die, right? Thought it was going to die. He said, for they could not endure the order that was given.
That seemed like a hard task. My precious little lamb, my goat, my favorite oxen walk up there, and I lose it. He said, even the beast touching the mountain shall die, shall be stoned. And so Moses went down from the mountain to the people and consecrated the people. They washed their garments, and he said to the people, be ready for the third day and do not go near a woman.
Yeah. So real quick. So just as we're getting our mindsets ready, we also understand that, you know, when he's preparing these people, because some people ask, well, can I bring my friend?
Can I bring someone that wants to know about Yah's word to this? This is not the time, right? This is a time where if you follow the theme, he's given the Ruach, this is a gift. for his bride things like that so this is not the time to be just bringing any old unclean person to the mountain because they could die absolutely all right all right absolutely all right authorized to enter and moses said to yahuwah the people cannot come up because he said come on bring up the mountain he's testing them right this is all a test will they obey my commandments or not Will they obey my commandments or not? Don't worry, it's in there.
The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai, for you yourself warn us. He's letting them remind them. This is how you guard Torah.
You got the instructions. He will ask you one of the questions and say, just to check to see if you what? Paying attention.
uh-oh paying attention he said you set limits around the mountain and consecrated it and you said to him go down and come bring aaron with you but do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to uh yahoo at least he break out against them and moses went down to the people and told them so you see the pattern is here you see this pattern from the very beginning and you need to pay attention to what he's asking us so let's keep moving all right so moses was given instructions people and how to make themselves ready to meet yahuwah leadership must dedicate the people set them apart and have them prepare their garments set the boundaries to what is allowed what is not and the penalties for the violations the men must not go near women do not be physical with your woman and no unauthorized activities should be done now here's my little opening statement last year All right, we gather for Shavuot and we experience what can only be described as a visitation of the Ruach HaKadosh. And it was a time of awe and wonder for me because I'm watching, this is me speaking. I'm coming from my mind, from what I viewed. And I witnessed the move of the Ruach in the service and how he breathed upon his servants at the immersion. It's a beautiful immersion.
During the praise, it was a wonderful praise. Everybody came together, and it was uplifting. Exhortations, the brothers from Mikael to me dead, and all the, it was a, it flew, it flowed together, even down to the final prayer. That's when everybody else kind of realized, oh, hallelujah, you know.
I say, so those who were there said they had a wonderful time, and I can reflect, almost everybody appeared. to be glad to be there and having a wonderful time with each other. Yet the Set-apart Ruroc revealed another Ruroc operating in the mist, right, which caused us to examine ourselves, right, and to take corrective measures.
So that's why we came back and said, wait a minute, we had, you know, all of a sudden we get all these reports. This is going on, that's going on, this would happen, that happened. And we're sitting there like, whoa, you know, the brethren you know who are in their own way they just enjoying each other and loving on each other and just but they got other things happening all around them that means we not what paying attention we enjoying you know we ain't keeping an eyeball on things but again we didn't have no we didn't set the boundaries there was no boundaries set he was out there having a feast day like we've had so many other times before you know we was having we was having feast we have We don't look at it as a cookout, but it turned into a cookout, because there's people that come out, right?
And it's like, in their mind, especially our young Yola Dean, is just out there, you know, at the picnic. You know what I'm saying? You know, we just got, you know, relaxing, relaxing, relaxing at the lakefront.
All right? So we correct ourselves, right? For we... For if we were to examine ourselves, right?
We examine ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are disciplined by Adam, right? So that we do not condemn with the world.
This is not a bad thing. Chastisement, correction, the correction of the Most High, don't be afraid of that. If you mess up, you want him to correct you.
What you don't want is to let it ride. You don't want him to let you ride because then you're on your own. But if he corrects you or he sends correction to you, then we want to receive that.
All right. We also see here in Sirach, it says 18 and 20, before judgment comes, examine yourself. And at the time of scrutiny, you will find forgiveness. Right? You'll find forgiveness.
So be real with yourself. Don't pretend as though you're above. anything that you got it all together we're going to talk about it in a little bit all right so while men slept you recognize this as the wheat and the tariff parable i did not cover the whole parable but i want to focus on why say matthews 13 14 to 24 another parable he said forth saying the kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed seed in the field but while men slept his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way what harvest is this you Oh, thank you.
I wish you had a microphone. I wish you had a microphone. That'd be nice.
Anybody else with a mic? I know Mama had it. I say Bali. Oh, okay. The wheat harvest.
Wheat harvest, okay. Naamana. Shalom, Ari.
This is the wheat in the tares harvest, separating the wheat from the tares. What feast is it that we're going into? Shabbat Vot. Shabbat Vot. Okay, that is the wheat harvest.
Weed harvest. That's when we can breath. We got to bring.
How many loaves of bread we got to bring from our house? Bring me two loaves. Huh?
All right. From your own house, you can wave it, you know. It's got to be fresh. It's got roots. There are roots to this thing now.
All right, but when the grain has sprouted and produced a crop, the tares was there, appeared also. So we know that in this harvest, there are two types of roo-rocks operating. But it all happened while what?
While men slept. All right. So here we go. This is the word kathedo. All right.
Let me see if I can do it. Kathedo. It's too low.
Too low. Too low. Kathedo.
I know you probably heard it online. All right. So I tried to put it up just so you can hear that.
All right. You didn't hear it? Stop it. So, catheto.
It means, it has several meanings, but one is to cease being awake or to sleep. And then the other one you see, the third one says to be dead. Sleep, you know, because dead sleep.
But that is the second one I'm looking at. To be spiritually indolent. Lazy. To be lazy.
All right, there are two synonyms that I wanted to point out with this one. Idle and slothful. Idle and slothful.
So what is that? Idle and slothful. It's like the same word or is it different words? I want to say it's the same, but idle means to, I believe, without Googling it, it means to stay in place.
You're idle. You're not moving. But sloth is you're moving, but it's at a, you know, I really don't care pace.
Okay. You want to add on? You want to add on? Got some add-ons in the room.
When I think of idle, I look at a vehicle, you know. So it's like a. you're having a presentation that you're moving but you're not going anywhere you know i mean so it's like you you're presenting yourself like you're moving you're doing things but the engine's on but you ain't moving okay all right uh amanda uh shalom maury i don't i don't this is it's like laziness it's like a waste of of of time or a waste of of um value like um A waste of something that's of value. It's terrible.
And slothful is similar, but it's more intense. Okay. Let's see. This is scripture here.
Proverbs 19, 15, 16. Slothfulness. A sloth. A lack of discipline and initiative. Lack of discipline.
This is one of the definitions. You don't have the initiative or the discipline to do what needs to be done and it casts you into a deep sleep, same word, and you and the idol is slackness, indolence. You're not performing at the level that you need to perform or you're not doing the work at all. You know, you're becoming a procrastinator, you know, so this is part of the sleeping, right?
This is not just for leadership, but it goes, you know, get in when you fit in. If you find yourself being lazy when it comes to the word. But whoever keeps the command keeps his life. And he knows how to connect these two together.
This idleness and slackness, if you're not putting the work in to keep the commandments or to guard his commands to keep your life, he who despise his ways, who's his? We'll die. All right.
The second part of that is indifference, a lack of concern or interest. What do you think that looks like? It goes along with that pay attention. Now, Mama.
That means that you really don't care. Really don't care. You don't care because your heart's not in it, so you don't care for it. You're indifferent. It's either.
um yeah yeah i do or no i don't it makes no difference to me because my heart's not in it i don't think about i don't i don't i don't care about it okay what comes to mind is uh kain's offering or kane's offering he gave an offering but he didn't give his best he just gave whatever he had it's it's um a little bit of what what they said in combination um it's it's not that it's not your priority is what i was thinking you can you concern but i'm only concerned about the part that involves me so you you it's kind of like a selfishness it's you there but i'm not really all in because i don't care about what you you know i don't care about yeah i care about me i got one more slide on this and what you stick right there with your mind what you said everybody stay what you say right the slothfulness all right it's lawful person idle person all right They will allow their whole house fall apart around them, right? Because they don't take initiative to fix what's broken. They're not examining, they're not being diligent. They have leaky roofs and sinking roof and holes that leak in the walls and things because they're not being diligent to monitor. The same thing with our physical, you know, we just kind of become...
I'm tired. I don't feel like doing it. It's too much work. It's too much work. I don't feel like it.
Not today. Maybe tomorrow. And then tomorrow turns to next year.
I'll get to forgiving that person at some time, but not today. I know what Yehuda said he asked me to do, but I'm just not ready yet. I don't feel like I'm ready.
I don't feel like I can do this. I'll just wait for confirmation. Maybe he'll give me some, yeah, he'll show it to me. Yeah, yeah. All right, so back to this indifference, all right, this lack of concern and everything he says is right.
Now, the synonym for that is indifference is complacence. Now, here's my take on indifference. I can see my brother's falling short somewhere, but it ain't me. It's not me.
I'm good. indifference. I can see you're making an error, but that ain't got nothing to do with me.
That's you. You know, I can see you going in the wrong direction or making a mistake and I should, like I could tell you the right thing to do, but it doesn't really affect my life. You should know better.
You already know better. Yeah, also you think about it is Now the reason why, let's just say you're using yourself as the example, why? Well, it's not me. Other reasons they do it because I know that person. Yeah, they're not going to listen.
They're not going to listen to me. They don't hear me. I don't want to argue or have a debate with this person, but still along the same lines. Yeah, yeah. That's exactly, you know, you could be a, I could see you were about to fall into the ditch, but I know they see that ditch over there.
but they're still walking. You're gonna fall in that ditch. I'm saying it all to myself, knowing that you're about to do this, but you're walking.
I can observe. Why you just act like you don't care about it? No, they do care. They just don't know that the ditch is there. And I'm not willing to tell you.
I'm going like, oh, you even fell? Yep. I knew you was going to fall. Then I'm going to talk about you. We're going to laugh about you falling in the ditch.
I thought they was set apart. I told you that it wasn't right. I was wrong the whole time, right?
so this complacence this is another one right complacence marked by self-satisfaction and especially accompanied with an awareness of the danger of just efficiencies right so because you got something that you want to show i know you said it and i know you breezed by it but what i'm saying is uh you're still saying you know it wasn't me but at the end of the day as you said who is wrong yeah i'm wrong So at the end of the day, if you know even if that person is not going to hear you, even if that person is going to give you all that's not, you still have to do it. What does Ezekiel say? Right? If even if it's a righteous man or sinner, you've got to warn them of their wickedness.
You've got to warn them of their faux pas. Right? If I don't hate my brother.
in my heart leviticus 19 right don't hate your brother in your heart but you got a reason with him when you see them going in the wrong direction all right i'm gonna get to it i got more of that you can see you're getting you're getting ahead of me i understand but yeah i got you again because we have we have an example of that in the scriptures give an example we got plenty of examples i'm gonna use one you got this um there's also the scripture that says that we bear the sins if we don't you Again, it's Ezekiel, right? Ezekiel 18, Ezekiel 3. So we have to realize we have responsibility for each other, right? We're not Cain. Am I my brother's keeper?
It ain't me. It ain't me. Am I? Am I?
We are our brother's keeper. We are to look after each other. We are to guard each other.
We are to love one another. As HaMashiach Yahushua loves us. So, you know, with all that being said, we are to help and guard each other. Yeah. All right.
Complacent, right? So we don't want to be complacent, right? Complacent is, I think I got it together. I know I got it together.
but everybody else can see all the deficiencies and know the dangers but I think I got it together you know I'm good I'm good but yet I'm still you know carrying on but the thing is I'm gonna get to it I'm gonna get to it I'm gonna get to it I don't want to rush myself all right failure to uphold the vision this is all going together I spoke about this last week in brief but this was important all right Where there is no prophetic vision, Chazon, right, revelation, the people cast off restraints, all right, but blessed is he who keeps the law. I'll add the other two, you might recognize them. All right, I said where there's no vision the people are let loose, but blessed is he who guards the Torah.
And then of King James at the bottom there. Yeah, yeah. All right. Well, there's no vision. The people perish.
I'm going to tell you why they did that. I'm going to tell you why they did it. That's not the word that's there. That's not the word that's there at all.
These are correct. Restraint, all right? Para. Para is the word, right?
And you also see that by mere parash. All right. By mere words, a servant is not disciplined.
For he, though he understands, he will not respond. Anah. He will not respond. I want you to watch that.
We're going to watch this. All right. To set free, to let free or loose, to uncover. The whole lot I could have added to that.
Make some go out of control. Allow to run wild. Allow to run wild. To leave unattended.
And so this is all happening while there's no vision. But there is a vision. The problem is nobody's paying attention, right? So when nobody's paying attention or they're not guarding the Torah, right, the people do what?
They're unrestrained. They do what they want to. They do what's ever right in their own eyes. Hey, hey, leave King Jimmy alone. Leave King Jimmy alone.
Let me show you why they did the parish. Because it's connected to an event that happened. We're going to go over that event.
Here's a little glimpse of it. Exodus 32, 25. And when Moses saw that the people had broken loose, same word, broken loose for Aaron had let them break loose to the derision, to the mockery of the enemies. and he was making fun of the people making up from the yeah these are yah's people these are yahoo oh my goodness they're over there clowning you know you're gonna hear about everybody reading about this this is not what this was not hidden what year is this we're reading about it right now what are they writing down everything we doing Right now, telling all your business for your great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great to find to read about you and your inadequacies. And hopefully you pull together at the end.
Hopefully pull it together at the end. But when we don't uphold the vision, right? So this meal serving is not disciplined with just words alone. Yahuwah told us all the time in Leviticus 26 what he said. I'm going to chastise you, put you through these various corrections, and if you don't heed, you're going to do what?
Seven times more. I'm going to strike you seven times because you ain't listening. If we could just get it by, you know, if you say hard head, soft behind, if we could give a hard behind and a soft head, where we can get the information and just do what he says, then we won't have to go through the chastising. How many times we look at our children and say, if you only just listen. I don't want to have to be, it's like, man, I gotta beat him.
Because I'm not gonna do it no more. But if I don't, you're gonna think, well, all it is is gonna be a talking to. And a talking to, you covered that last week? Talking to don't mean nothing. Talking to don't mean nothing.
That just mean, yeah, it's all right. I'm gonna get this, he gonna fuss me out. Mm-hm, mm-hm, mm-hm, no, I'm not gonna do it no more. And as soon as you're back, boom, out there. My mama had a remedy for that.
It's a winter stick. And I said, I'm not going to do it no more. She said, you know what? I know you're not going to do it no more. Because you're going to remember this.
And that's the point for it, you know. All right, so we've got to guard the Torah. Here we go.
Failure to guard the Torah. Let's go see what happened. All right, who? no mama uh cam or uh um just a minute i was writing um the spirit of wad spoiled a child and and my mom also because my mother was from the south she had she had a remedy too it was called a switch hallelujah and we had to go pick our own switch off the tree we're from different parts of the region we all got the same mamas Oh, yeah. And it couldn't be a flimsy one.
It had to be a nice, long, green one that kind of cut the air. But anyway. Windows.
My grandma had the switches. All right. She can.
All right. So Exodus 32, 1 through 6. And when the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together and Aharon said to them, Aharon and said to him, up, make us mighty ones. that shall go before us as for Moses as for this Moses the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt Mitzrayim we don't know what has become of him and Aaron said you shall have no other mighty ones before me you should not make unto yourself any graven images or likeness of anything in heaven above and the earth beneath in the water under the earth you shall not bow yourself to them nor serve them for I Yahweh Elohim am a Jelezel This is the iniquities of the father on the children to the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.
But showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. You shall not take the name of Yahuwah Elohim in vain, for Yahuwah will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain. That's what he said.
All right. All right. That ain't what he said. He said, take off the rings. Take off the rings of gold that are in your ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.
So all the people took off their rings of gold that were in their ears and brought them to Aaron. And he received the gold from their hand and fashioned it with engraving tools and made a calf. And they said, these are your mighty ones.
No, no, no. He said. They said, these are your mighty ones.
Oh, Israel, who brought you out of the land. And then Aaron saw this. He built, look what he do.
He builds an altar before it. And Aaron made a proclamation and said, tomorrow shall be the feast to Yahuwah. Hmm. And they rose up early the next day and went out and burned offerings, had a barbecue and bring peace offerings.
And the people sat down to eat and drink and then rose up to play. It rose up to play because all because somebody had a short-term memory. Somebody was in garden Torah. Somebody was in garden Torah. Well, let's see what happens.
I'm not reading the whole thing. I skipped on down 25 to 29. And we go back to what we saw. And when Moses saw the people had broken loose, and Aaron had let them break loose, he let them.
He went on with it. They can say, oh, okay. Oh, that looks nice.
We're going to put this altar up here. Let's get the grill going. Get the grill going and we're going to do this roasting.
We're going to have a good time. To the derision of their enemies, then Moses stood at the gate of the camp and said, Who is on your who aside? Come to me.
All the sons of Levi gather around him. And he said to them, Thus says your who Elohim of Israel, Put your sword on your side, each of you, and go to and fro from the gate to gate throughout the camp, and each of you kill his brother. his companion, his neighbor, and the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses.
And that day, about 3,000 men of the people fell. The people perished. This is where it comes from. The people perished. That's why they put that connection there.
You know, sometimes they do that in the Bible. They say, oh, this is a word connection. You know the word, you'll know that this is what it's referring to. Today, yeah, whatever that is.
And Moses said, today you have been ordained for the service of Yahuwah, each one at the cost of his son and of his brother, so that you might bestow a blessing upon you this day. Sometimes you got to do the hard thing to get the blessing. Sometimes you got to do the hard thing to get the blessing. In other words, if you see somebody messing up, say something.
You ain't got to pull a... Physical gun out and blow their head off, right? It's kind of graphic, huh? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Nobody said you gotta do that. But you take the sword of the word and you go, like Mashiach said, you go to the one. Nobody said you have to loud cap them, you know, because that's going to cause another issue. Right?
Because I already know, I didn't know I was doing something wrong, maybe. Maybe. But if I didn't know I was doing something wrong, and you called me out in front of everybody, now you're going to have an issue.
Now I might not be listening. You might be talking, but I'm not really listening. Because you're going to do this in front of everybody, and now everybody's looking at me, and I'm all in, you know.
You know how it is. Who wants to be loud-capped? You know what I'm saying?
You know what I'm saying? So, but that's why we do have that covenant together. You had the opportunity to read it, you signed it.
So guess what? Who ain't signed it? We'll get them take care of it. We'll get them squared away. His brother, the brother, look, look, look.
Am I my brother's king? hallelujah log cap that's a loud cap that was a loud cap that was a loud cap okay all right hold on hold on i gotta keep moving i gotta keep moving all right all right look at look look look all right better is open rebuke than hidden love better is open review faithful are the wounds of a friend Profuse are the kiffers, or many, excessive. They're always flattering you and going along with what you've gotten. You never do nothing wrong, knowing that they're actually knowing you're doing everything wrong, but they're letting you go on. That's an enemy.
They hate you. They don't love you. And they're calling you brother.
Or they're calling you sister. They're watching you mess up. And they're laughing at you. that ain't all that and got a list laundry list on you what you do all right but open rebuke is better than hidden love uh let the righteous man strike me it is a kindness so how do i take it when somebody come to me i'm gonna humble myself it's a kindness let him rebuke me it's all on my head my head let my head not refuse it right you come to me with a correction You come to me, I'm going to take it.
That's like, it takes growth in some areas, you might, because especially if somebody's loud-capped you. Anah? Anah? Oh. Also a form of afflicting oneself.
Yes. Taking that correction like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's an affliction.
Humbling yourself. Anah, how are you going to answer? Amala.
Now, Amala. Thank you. Yeah, Kimori, there's ways to do things like, you know, right? It does take maturation. Yes.
And how to talk to someone. I think it's awful to just call somebody out. you know, loud cup them like that. It's just to kind of, you know, you know, take them to the side and kind of talk to them with all gentleness and, and let them know what's going on, whether it's a brother or a sister, there's a way to do everything. And you do it with honor and respect instead of putting them on blast like that, because now that person is ashamed and embarrassed and you don't want to do that.
That's horrible. I mean, I mean, you know, I know that, I know that firsthand. I had that happen to me recently and I learned something about myself too.
All right. And I did. And I did. I humbled myself. I took it on the chin.
That's what I did. I humbled myself. I had to go think about this thing.
And I wrestled with it for a while, you know. But it wasn't no big deal. Because I want that.
I want somebody to tell me what they think. And I can. Kind of say, well, you know, what can I do more? How can I better myself? How can I adjust?
All right. Whoever rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than who flatters with the tongue. The one that's always kissing on you and telling you how good you are and you ain't never did no wrong.
And, oh, just Baruch Hashem, you who, just go ahead on. Hallelujah. Yes, yes. Wrong is two left shoes.
And when you find out you're wrong is two left shoes and they know you was wrong is two left shoes, there's going to be issues. There's going to be problems. You know. But if the person that tells you the right thing, you might be upset with him for, you know, you might not want to be around him for a hot second. It's going to take you a minute to adjust your personality.
You know, here he come. Let me go around the other way. But if you want to make it into his kingdom, we have to learn to overcome ourselves. All right.
Time's the season. I'm almost done. All right.
So. Now concerning the times and seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. That's what he said, but he wrote this down. And you, for you yourself, are fully aware that the day of Yahuwah will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying there is peace and security, then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains.
Everybody in our generation is saying destruction is coming. They're looking for destruction. Ain't nobody saying peace and safety, right?
Labor pains. upon a pregnant woman and they will not escape. But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief.
For you are all children of light. That's what we are, right? Children of the light, children of the day.
We are not of the night or darkness. So let us not sleep, right? We're out there on there. We're paying attention. We're watching.
We don't want nobody just to break loose. We guard in Torah, right? So let us not sleep as others do, and let us keep awake and be sober, vigilant, right?
Because we don't know if Yahuwah, the visitation of Yahuwah, it was in the upper room. It was in a room, you know, and all of a sudden they were praying and the Ruach came in. And I mean, it stirred up the place.
Sound like a mighty Russian wind. It's like that wind we heard out there. Moving everything but the tent.
All right? All right? For those who sleep, sleep at night.
And those who get drunk are drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love. and for the helmet of hope of salvation for elohim has not destined us for wrath he don't want us he didn't call us for that but we are taking salvation through adon yahushua who died for us that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him and that means whether you're still alive or in your grave who got who gets up first the ones in the ones in the grave get up first might live with him. Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, just as you're doing. We're doing this.
The last few slides is just a review. we're going through this is my last slide awake stay awake mashiach said but concerning the day of the hour no one knows not even the malachings and shamayim nor the son but only the father be on guard all right keep awake for you do not know when the time will come it is like a man going on a journey when he leaves home he puts his servant in charge with his work and commands the doorkeepers to do what stay awake We're watchmen. We're being vigilant. Stand alert. Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know when the master of the house will come.
We didn't know he was coming that day. We out there just, John, this is a beautiful day. This is a beautiful space.
Oh, this is so nice. So glad to see you. We getting there when we want to get there. Sliding in when we want to slide in.
You know, you know, some of us had maybe a little tinge of an attitude here and there. You know, things was going on. you know you know just a little here a little there you know we're thinking this is a barbecue we out there getting loose yeah they're getting loose but it's because you know they weren't paying attention not understanding what was happening we thank you all for his mercy thank him for his favor not that there was nothing outrageous among them i think the brethren that was going on like that but there was some things that was happening all right all right the house will come in the evening or at the morning midnight or when the rooster crows are in the morning let us come suddenly and find you asleep and what i say unto you i say unto all stay awake stay awake stay alert pay attention pay attention so it's a quick review you know these things Purification standards. Be on time. Make time to be on time.
Respect those in leadership. Those who appointed leadership over you. The fellow keen.
Attendance. Got your dress clothes, get your garments together. Whatever you're going to wear.
You ain't got to be fancy. It's got to be clean and it's got to be white. If you got to bring two shirts, bring two because you might get one dirty. You might go in for the service and you got one for your barbecue.
You want for the service. All right. Don't bring issues to any of the Moedim.
No conflicts, offenses during the Moedim. Moderation with your drinking. You're allowed to drink.
You're allowed to drink, but no buying and selling. No buying, no selling. All right. You're allowed to.
Moderation is key. All right. the chirox those are on duty the marine no drinking while on duty right oh yeah you won't do afterwards we can have a little taste yeah yeah let all conversations that tend to be set apart and not common all right let it be set apart not common we you know the service is going to start at 2 p.m be there on time we're going to be there for one but we starting at two be there for one start at two service starts at two that gives you a time to get you there get your car unpacked get your gear where you want get your seat where you want to sit there we're gonna start all right you're gonna start other than that we're gonna implement the rule the service is starting you late yep you stay over there yeah don't come near the mountain all right small children and teens there's the rules for that and pets and working animals All right?
And if you haven't already made your arrangements to come here, you have to have that as well. But other than that, let's Joshua 3 and 5. And then Joshua said to the people, to concentrate yourselves for tomorrow, Yehudah will do wonders among us. That's what we expect. That's what we want. We want Yehudah to show up.
We want to be ready for him. And even if it don't happen that day, we were ready. And we're going to be ready every time.
We're going to make ourselves ready. That's what we're supposed to be doing. Make yourself ready. The bridegroom is coming.
The bridegroom is coming. Any questions? All right. So real quick, just this one thing, though, is that, and all the rules is good. But one thing also is when we're out there, if you find yourself doing something in ignorance and someone does correct you, the bottom line is you guys, we have to be able.
to correct that person. And that person, whoever's being corrected, needs to learn how to humble themselves. That means that on both sides of the spectrum here, we are held accountable for each other's action even if the person that did something wrong the person that knows it he's accountable um the person that's doing wrong is accountable once it's been made known to him so as long as we have that understanding uh going forward you know now i'm not talking about picking on somebody or someone feeling like they're being picked on i'm saying if you legitimately just you know see something wrong maybe your delivery is going to be also important right so just make sure you do it in a way that you want y'all to do it for you.
Y'all shouldn't be playing spades over there. Time for that right now. Yeah, you want a mic.
I got that Hebrew board game. Is that okay? That would be fine after we finish service and everything. Something that's edifying to the Ruach, right?
Something that can build us up, you know? Some type of Bible trivia game. It's fine. You know, something that can, you know, it's just. I have a question.
You said no commonly speaking or talking? Yeah, we're not just going to be talking about. business dealings, sports. We're not going to be just, you know, just the common stuff that we normally would talk about. Yeah.
We're not going to talk about the latest trend on TikTok. So it has to be like just scripture or? I mean you have a general conversation but it's not gonna be wholesome. Yeah, did you see this ratchet thing on TikTok? Let me show you this.
Ratchet, did you see this new trend? Look what this girl got on. It's a shame, shouldn't be dressed like that on.
This is a shame they're letting their children and women dressing like this. Look at this. You know, you know, what's going on? Yeah, we ain't talking about the popular culture during this time frame. You know, we're going to enjoy one another.
We're going to have a good time in the presence of the Most High. We're going to lift his name up. We're going to sing praises to his name.
We'll pray and just be ready. And if the rock blows through, guess what? Prepare to gather. Come together. If you're out now, you're going to wait.
I'm Mike. i'm gonna text you hello i can't hear somebody's talking i can't is it oh okay i thought there was okay all right there's no more questions let's stand okay come on i have one more uh what about those that are not there what do we do keep it set apart where you are you know Keep it set apart. No comment.
