[00:00:04] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_00]:
You guys gotta pay attention to this.
[00:00:09] The very parable I'm gonna read to you is about the wheat and the tares growing together and then the harvest, the end of the world coming.
[00:00:22] Okay, this is in the church.
[00:00:33] it's the people that won't hear what I'm about to say that are the tares because he outright tells you you live in the generation like okay I'll read it probably maybe I won't maybe I will but I'll tell you
[00:01:04] 2nd Peter chapter 3 to the end of the world people he says beloved this is the second epistle i write unto you to be mindful of the holy prophets which are before you do you think the tares are going to be mindful of the holy prophets do you think the tares are the beloved
[00:01:33] that look for a new heaven and a new earth where righteousness dwells.
[00:01:39] Paul or Peter even says in the same chapter, don't be ignorant of this one thing, that a day with the Lord is a thousand years and a thousand years is a day.
[00:01:55] So his millennial reign is the seventh day of the week.
[00:02:00] That's why you keep the Sabbath holy.
[00:02:03] It's an everlasting sign.
[00:02:07] Which means you deal out your bread to those, that means the word of God, to other people.
[00:02:14] And you heal them.
[00:02:15] That's what Yeshua did on the Sabbath day.
[00:02:17] He healed people.
[00:02:21] So he warns you not to be deceived.
[00:02:25] That's the sign of the end in Matthew 24.
[00:02:28] And now he's giving you a description
[00:02:32] And not only is he giving you a description, there's a prophecy being fulfilled right here and Matthew tells you that.
[00:02:47] Now, so he preaches the parable.
[00:02:51] I'm not gonna read you the parable.
[00:02:53] I'm gonna read you the explanation of the parable because Christians who don't understand these things or
[00:03:02] We'll say it better, you've never been shown how important it is to understand his parables.
[00:03:10] Now the beloved, even in Thessalonians, it says, Despise not prophesyings, the wrath of God is not appointed unto those people.
[00:03:20] And they know perfectly well that the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night, because they learned the parable of the fig tree, and they learned
[00:03:30] When this takes place, because of a place called Ephraim.
[00:03:36] And it's because they're warning Ephraim.
[00:03:39] And that's why the Messiah said, if you don't watch, I'm coming unto you like a thief in the night.
[00:03:44] In 1 Thessalonians 5, it says, you guys know perfectly well that the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night.
[00:03:51] See, Peter knew that the beloved were gonna rise up, and he told you who the beloved are in Romans 11.
[00:04:01] Now the wheat and the tares are gonna grow together.
[00:04:05] Then the harvest comes, it's the end of the world, and this is how this goes down.
[00:04:09] I'm gonna start at verse 34.
[00:04:12] Because Yeshua actually reads three, or says three parables to these guys.
[00:04:19] And the last two, the apostles don't even concern themselves with that.
[00:04:24] They wanna know about the first one, about the tares.
[00:04:28] So he explains it to them.
[00:04:31] But I'll start at what Matthew says, building up into Yeshua being so kind to explain this to everybody.
[00:04:41] All these things spake Yeshua unto the multitude in parables, and without a parable spake he not unto them, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the mouth of the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables, and I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
[00:05:03] Now if you go to Psalm 78, again it's speaking about Ephraim.
[00:05:11] The parable of the fig tree, speaking about Ephraim.
[00:05:15] End of the world prophecies here.
[00:05:19] There's a place called Ephraim, so these are people, the other place where he says the children of the kingdom weren't worthy, so others filled their seats at the wedding.
[00:05:31] It all's the same thing.
[00:05:34] And you live in that generation, so I would be mindful of what I'm saying and reading here.
[00:05:40] And check out, I told you, 2 Peter 3.
[00:05:45] It's written to the Beloved.
[00:05:47] You can't argue that.
[00:05:48] But do you think the Beloved are the tares?
[00:05:50] No, they are not.
[00:05:55] When he says, those who listen to my sayings and do them, he's gonna liken them unto a wise man.
[00:06:02] But those who hear my sayings and don't do them, great is the fall of that house.
[00:06:10] Again, that would be Ephraim.
[00:06:15] Ephraim will be more powerful than Manasseh.
[00:06:19] It's an end days nation.
[00:06:23] The most powerful nation in the world but they hold the truth of God in unrighteousness.
[00:06:33] All these things spake Yeshua unto the multitude in parables and without a parable spake he not unto them that it might be fulfilled
[00:06:46] which was spoken by the prophet saying I will open my mouth in parables and I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world Psalm 78 go read it it's against Ephraim and it's because he won't go to the battle which means to fulfill the royal law which means to love your neighbor as yourself according to Leviticus 19 15 to 18 they won't do it
[00:07:14] Then Yeshua sent the multitude away and went unto the house, and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
[00:07:26] He didn't ask about the mustard seed nor the leaven.
[00:07:29] They want to know the first one he was talking a while ago.
[00:07:33] They're curious about that one.
[00:07:36] He answered, but the Christian church isn't curious about that.
[00:07:40] Not the tares anyway.
[00:07:42] and so by default the tares are going to avoid prophecy then you know who they are because the beloved are mindful of prophecy and they're not ignorant that a day with the Lord is a thousand years and a thousand years is a day so you're going to want to listen to those people that understand this stuff that came out of the church Yeshua told you
[00:08:08] that his sheep will not listen to the tares, the wolves, the hirelings in the church, the second sheepfold, which is an end days prophecy in John 10.
[00:08:19] He answered and said unto them, he that sows the good seed is the son of man.
[00:08:25] Now son of man is another word for watchman.
[00:08:31] The field is the world.
[00:08:34] Yeshua was the best of the best of the best watchman.
[00:08:37] and he told us to walk as he walked, just so you know.
[00:08:43] The field is the world and the good seed are the children of the kingdom.
[00:08:51] You know, go back to Matthew chapter five, he says, blessed are those who keep the commandments of God and teach others to do so.
[00:09:01] They will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
[00:09:04] The Beatitudes that are mentioned there are a bunch of prophecies from the Old Testament that these people have already done.
[00:09:12] Blessed are they.
[00:09:17] But the tares are the children of the wicked one.
[00:09:21] That's the son of perdition that sits in the temple claiming that he is God.
[00:09:29] That's the wicked one.
[00:09:32] That's in John 17, the Son of Perdition.
[00:09:35] The Son of Perdition in John 17 is not Judas.
[00:09:40] No, no, no, no.
[00:09:41] That's the Antichrist.
[00:09:46] That's why it's so important to know the Father's name.
[00:09:51] Yeshua was explaining that in John 17 with his prayer.
[00:09:54] He says, I revealed the Father's name unto those who you gave me out of the world.
[00:10:00] The other ones are going to go.
[00:10:01] They're the children of Apollos.
[00:10:05] That's what the word is.
[00:10:07] Both cases.
[00:10:09] And it's talking about the same one here.
[00:10:11] This is the wicked one.
[00:10:15] The enemy that sowed them in is the devil.
[00:10:19] And the harvest is the end of the world.
[00:10:23] End of the world.
[00:10:24] He told you to go preach to the end of the world all the things I commanded you to do.
[00:10:31] Which is to keep the Ten Commandments and to teach others to do so.
[00:10:35] That is the magnification of the law.
[00:10:38] He did not want sacrificial law.
[00:10:40] He wanted mercy.
[00:10:42] Mercy means you give somebody the opportunity to repent.
[00:10:45] That's showing them mercy.
[00:10:47] And He told you to go learn what this means.
[00:10:53] Matthew 9 is quoting Hosea chapter 6 a day with the Lord is a thousand years is quoting Hosea chapter 6 it also tells you I want the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings but they like men have transgressed the covenant there have they dealt treacherously against me see the blood of the covenant
[00:11:19] The box that the Ten Commandments were in had a mercy seat and they would sprinkle blood on it.
[00:11:25] And that blood was never able to take away the sins.
[00:11:29] But Yeshua's blood is on the covenant now.
[00:11:32] That's the refreshing.
[00:11:34] But they would not hear.
[00:11:36] It's in prophecy.
[00:11:37] They will not hear.
[00:11:42] The harvest is the end of the world.
[00:11:44] The tares are definitely in the church.
[00:11:46] They're the ones running the show too.
[00:11:49] Now think about that.
[00:11:51] Do you think that tares, being these evil ones that work for the devil, are going to be sitting in the back pew keeping their mouth shut?
[00:12:00] Nope.
[00:12:01] Use your head.
[00:12:04] And the reapers are the angels.
[00:12:07] As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so shall it be in the end of this world.
[00:12:19] The Son of Man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend and them which do iniquity.
[00:12:29] Them which do iniquity.
[00:12:32] Iniquity means breaking the Ten Commandments.
[00:12:38] And shall cast them into the furnace of fire.
[00:12:41] There shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
[00:12:45] Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun,
[00:12:49] in the kingdom of their father who have ears to hear let him hear.
[00:12:55] The tares are not gonna hear.
[00:12:59] And that's pretty point blank.
[00:13:04] It's not that hard to understand what the Bible says.
[00:13:10] People are disobedient to God.
[00:13:13] The world's turned into a shit hole.
[00:13:15] This is what it looks like.
[00:13:18] The Generation of God's Wrath.
[00:13:20] Now by the grace of God, which is not unmerited favor, that was invented by Martin Lucifer and Charles Spurgeon took it over and made it popular and then some other, John Wesley or whatever, he did his shit with it too.
[00:13:39] The Bible tells you what grace is.
[00:13:44] Even the Jewish people
[00:13:48] It's an end days prophecy in Zechariah 12.
[00:13:53] He's gonna reveal himself.
[00:13:55] And he's gonna pour out the spirit of grace and supplication onto the people for piercing the Messiah.
[00:14:04] It tells you right there.
[00:14:06] You think that grace is unmerited favor?
[00:14:10] No.
[00:14:13] It's God showing you mercy by convicting your heart to turn back to him and obey.
[00:14:18] he gives you a little extra boost it's called your conscience but when you sear your conscience with a hot iron grace has no more effect but the beloved understand these things and their job because the bible tells you they're out there you gotta be a harvest worker that means watching
[00:14:48] The workers are few.
[00:14:49] Pray ye the Lord of the harvest that he sends forth his workers.
[00:14:53] Well, the workers are plucking out or giving the people the opportunity to hear the truth before the harvest comes because the tares are going to get burned and you don't want to be the tares.
[00:15:08] And the Bible has a whole bunch of prophecy about those tares.
[00:15:16] They turned the grace of our God into lasciviousness.
[00:15:19] They're running the churches.
[00:15:21] It's a money pot.
[00:15:24] They're making merchandise of God's people.
[00:15:27] They're gonna do pagan idolatry in my father's house.
[00:15:30] That's Christmas and Easter.
[00:15:31] It's Sun God Day.
[00:15:36] Many are called and few are chosen.
[00:15:39] See, it's a choice people make.
[00:15:42] They make the choice whether to follow God
[00:15:45] or to follow the traditions of men.
[00:15:48] And the traditions of men are people who listen to the spirit of the air that is worldly, doing worldly things.
[00:15:58] And then sin increases and increases and increases because nobody gives a shit.
[00:16:05] See, I was talking to my wife about even the TV ratings, how they would monitor what went on the television
[00:16:15] and each year that goes by the tolerance becomes worse and worse and worse for shit and now your children are in their basements with high-tech computers and graphics killing each other making it look as real as possible and how many on a percentage of these parents give a shit about their kids
[00:16:40] To raise them morally.
[00:16:42] No, they just, if they could get good grades, just fit in with society.
[00:16:47] That's the way parents are.
[00:16:49] Not about their moral compass.
[00:16:52] And everybody's moral compass in this wicked generation is pointing south.
[00:17:03] They're not taking the word of God seriously at all.
[00:17:05] I'm just talking about one spot in prophecy.
[00:17:09] It goes further to tell you the way they're even going to talk.
[00:17:14] They're going to scoff and mock after their own lusts.
[00:17:18] Being ignorant of a day with the Lord is a thousand years.
[00:17:21] It tells you that they're going to be ignorant of this.
[00:17:24] Willfully ignorant.
[00:17:34] You're surrounded by those people right now.
[00:17:41] So he puts the porter in the gate as he told you in Matthew or Mark 13.
[00:17:46] That's what he's gonna do.
[00:17:48] Put the porter in the gate, give the servants their authority and what they're commanded to do, and if they don't watch, he's coming unto them like a thief in the night.
[00:18:01] But to you, brethren, you know perfectly well that the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night.
[00:18:07] The wrath of God is not appointed unto you,
[00:18:11] Ask the Christians, what does that mean?
[00:18:15] And you'll know who the tares are.
[00:18:18] Because the wheat know.
[00:18:21] The wheat know.
[00:18:28] Because they're watching.
[00:18:29] Watching means they know.
[00:18:31] Because watching means to warn people.
[00:18:37] Now, this great is the fall of that house.
[00:18:41] Don't expect it to be a small little number.
[00:18:47] That's Mystery Babylon, you guys.
[00:18:50] And her sins have reached the heavens.
[00:18:54] And the self-righteous tares that are in the church are gonna take the hit for that.
[00:19:01] Because they're the ones that are drinking the cup of devils in God's house in his Christian church.
[00:19:07] With their pagan idolatry, their pastors even tell them it's pagan.
[00:19:13] This Bible prohibits that.
[00:19:15] And Paul told you, as a Gentile, if you ever do the same thing the Northern Kingdom of Israel did,
[00:19:22] How much sorer is your punishment if you want to trodden underfoot the Son of God and count the blood of the Ten Commandments an unholy thing and do despite unto the Spirit of grace than the vengeance of God is upon you.
[00:19:38] That's what your Bible told you in Hebrews chapter 10.
[00:19:43] God told you when he's revealing his Messiah, Isaiah 56,
[00:19:50] My salvation is near to come.
[00:19:52] My Yeshua is near to come.
[00:19:54] Blessed is the man that grabs hold of his Sabbath and keeps his hand from doing any evil.
[00:20:01] Keeping his covenant.
[00:20:05] He's talking to the stranger.
[00:20:06] That means a Gentile.
[00:20:08] And he says, don't you dare say that you are separated from my people.
[00:20:14] And I will give you a name even better than sons and daughters.
[00:20:16] Isaiah 56.
[00:20:17] That's a future prophecy.
[00:20:20] that Philip read to the eunuch because it's all about the eunuch and when he saw what it said in Isaiah 56 what's stopping me from getting baptized he said it's all about the Ethiopian eunuch he was written of in the Bible over 500 years before he was born and when he saw that and the Holy Spirit
[00:20:50] I told Philip to go do this because God wanted to show a miracle right in His Word for everybody to see.
[00:20:58] But unless you read these things, you'll never notice that.
[00:21:03] And if you don't obey the Ten Commandments, you're never gonna receive the Spirit of Truth.
[00:21:08] And Yeshua told you, the Spirit of Truth brings remembrance to everything He said.
[00:21:13] And He spoke in parables.
[00:21:16] And the Christian church can't even catch on to the parables that he explained.
[00:21:24] He explained the parable of the wheat and the tares.
[00:21:29] And he explained the parable of the seed sower.
[00:21:32] And he told you, if you're not grounded in the word of God, or if you get choked out by the cares and the lusts of this world, you're toast.
[00:21:40] You need to be grounded in the word, in the good soil.
[00:21:43] And those tares
[00:21:46] Hate people that are grounded in the word.
[00:21:49] They despise those who are good.
[00:21:51] Paul knew this was coming, and he warned you.
[00:21:55] You see, the Bible is warning you for your protection, but it's up to your ears to open up and listen.
[00:22:02] So a disobedient heart's never gonna hear this.
[00:22:08] And they're just gonna drag you down, people.
[00:22:11] They're doing it right in front of your face.
[00:22:14] We communicate with them all the time, every day.
[00:22:17] They are nasty people.
[00:22:19] Go and look at them, and they're gonna serve that one.
[00:22:24] That one is the Christmas Jesus guy that's in their temple calling himself God right now.
[00:22:33] See, John 1.1 originally said that the Word of God was beside God, not the Word of God was God.
[00:22:45] And that verse has been changed umpteen times.
[00:22:49] We have it all on Straight as the Gate website.
[00:22:52] You can go read our website and see it all.
[00:22:58] And all this evidence people dismiss.
[00:23:02] But it's all in prophecy too.
[00:23:05] So the way a wicked terror Christian is, there's a thousand places where Yeshua says
[00:23:12] I was sent by the Father to do His will and the Father is greater than I am and all power was given to me from the Father all the time and then one verse and all it takes is one verse from lazy wicked people that can't get past chapter 1 verse 1 because they're so stupid and easily deceived
[00:23:42] and they're gonna bring you down.
[00:23:44] They choose that and that's why you're to sharply rebuke the fables.
[00:23:49] You're to rebuke sin in the church, not outside the church and that's what they do.
[00:23:54] They criticize everyone outside of the church, puffing themselves up and that's why they got 45,000 denominations in Mystery Babylon.
[00:24:07] So come out of her, my people.
[00:24:10] And these people are gonna show you their teeth.
[00:24:13] Don't even think they won't.
[00:24:18] They're the wolves.
[00:24:20] They're the tares.
[00:24:22] They're the children of disobedience.
[00:24:25] And they're gonna probably start recognizing this.
[00:24:29] When they start recognizing it, they could have just repented.
[00:24:37] But Esau gave up his inheritance for a meal.
[00:24:41] And it's an example.
[00:24:43] That's why it's in the New Testament.
[00:24:46] That meal is all their pagan.
[00:24:48] That's why it says their table is full of vomit.
[00:24:52] You see, Isaiah 28, 29, and 30, they're quite easy for myself to understand and other people and straight as the gate.
[00:25:02] because it's going on right now and that's why Paul was even prophesying out of that.
[00:25:08] See, bringing light to dark sayings.
[00:25:11] Paul was doing it all the time and that is why Peter said in the same chapter, 2 Peter chapter three, do not be ignorant of the
[00:25:19] of what the prophet said before you and don't be ignorant of this one thing a day with the Lord is a thousand years the heavens depart and the earth gets melted blah blah blah right and he goes on to tell you they're going to twist the words of Paul to their own destruction because they don't know what he's quoting in the scriptures which is the old testament Paul himself said the Bereans are more noble than the Thessalonians because they search the scriptures daily to see if what Paul's saying is true
[00:25:47] because he's always talking about what's already said in the scriptures.
[00:25:55] Like Romans 7 to 12, even 13.
[00:25:59] Only the 144,000 are gonna understand that.
[00:26:05] Because it's all prophecy in the Old Testament about the 144,000.
[00:26:17] Everybody was warned, don't be deceived.
[00:26:20] That's the sign of the end.
[00:26:24] The sign of the end is do not be deceived.
[00:26:28] And Ephraim will not go to the battle.
[00:26:30] See, he's a coward.
[00:26:31] He can't do what I'm saying right now.
[00:26:34] So people say, oh yeah, right, that really, he's really gonna do that because we don't say his name right?
[00:26:41] Things like that, right?
[00:26:43] That's not the point.
[00:26:45] The point is to take the correction.
[00:26:47] and stop doing the pagan idolatry and sanctify the name of God.
[00:26:52] Even Yeshua told you to pray to the Father and he starts it off like this.
[00:26:58] Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
[00:27:02] That means sanctified be your name.
[00:27:07] Your kingdom come.
[00:27:11] The kingdom coming is the 12 tribes.
[00:27:17] Your kingdom come!
[00:27:19] Do you think the Christian church is praying that?
[00:27:22] Consciously knowing what it even means?
