Chadwick Harvey · starts at 1:21:43 of 3 hr 28 min · part of 1 Thess. 4-5 & 2 Thess. 2 - God's Times and Seasons, The Day of the Lord & The Resurrection

In this segment: Chadwick discusses Luke 19:41-44, where Yeshua weeps over Jerusalem for not understanding the time of His visitation, linking it to His entry before Passover. He criticizes Christians for observing pagan holidays, stating such practices lead to Yeshua's rejection and that America will face judgment as Israel's "Egypt" for falsehood.

Transcript of this segment

Look at what Yeshua says to the Jewish people in Luke 19:41-44. "Now as He drew near, Yeshua, He cried over the city, weeping, saying, 'If you had only known, Jewish people, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace, but now they are hidden from your eyes. For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you and surround you and close you in on every side and level you, and your children with you, to the ground, and they will not leave you one stone upon another.' Why? Because you did not understand the time of your visitation." Boy howdy, goodness gracious. He tells you right there, the Master Himself. He was on a donkey on Nissan 10. Christians, that's four days before He was crucified on Passover. He was rolling into Jerusalem weeping over the city because the people didn't have a clue. Except for the remnant. The remnant always has a clue. And they were singing, "Son of David, Hosanna, Hosanna, save now." They were singing Psalm 118 because they knew what time it was. It was time for the crucifixion, everybody. And He understood that, or they understood that. The remnant always understands. But the rest of the Jewish people did not understand. And He said this, "You're going to be destroyed by the Romans, AD 70." Why? Because you didn't understand the time of your visitation. The Jewish people were celebrating Passover for 1,500 years. Everybody killing the lamb, the Passover lamb. The Jewish Messiah walks in, and the majority of people did not have a clue what was going on. That's what I'm talking about. That's why I say what I say. They were doing it and they didn't have a clue. Most of them. The remnant always does, but most of them didn't. Okay, that's just facts. So, if they didn't understand what was going on and they were doing it, what do you think the Christians are going to do right now with not knowing the feast days at all? At all. What do you think's going to happen? I mean, He's a fair judge, a just judge, a righteous judge. If He told His people that, what do you think He's telling the Gentiles? "Ain't life grand? You don't have to observe. Do your thing. Dual covenant." All this stuff. Get out of that stuff, it will bring somebody to a pit of hell. Period. We've got to get biblical, everybody. It's a narrow road, as Yeshua says, narrow. And few find it, not many. Few find it. Two billion Christians? No way, Jose. Few find it, not many. We've got to really understand this, my friends.

Matthew 7. "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven." That means to observe the days, observe the Sabbath, observe, observe, observe. Is what He is saying. "Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name? Cast out demons in Your name? Done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you. Depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.'" Don't know what to tell you, friends. Look at it. Read it and weep, is what I say. And repent if you're not on the days and get on the days because this is what He says. Don't take it from me. You can be mad at me all you want. Read it and weep. "And I will declare to them, 'I never knew you,' those who practice lawlessness." It's not talking about Israel law. It's not talking about American law. It's not talking about any worldly law. It's talking about His law. Because you can't have it both ways, my Christian friends. If law means Torah, and everyone out there would agree with that, then it's just a simple understanding. Lawlessness means lawlessness, or not following Yah's commandments and understanding the times and the seasons in His Torah. That's what it means. Don't take it from me. Take it from Him, and take it from Paul. Take it from the Prophets. Take it from the Bible. I'm just trying to do my part. But goodness gracious, look at what He says. "I will declare to them, 'I never knew you.'" How do you know Him? The Word of God, the Torah, Prophets, Psalms, especially the Torah, and to understand how to celebrate our Master in spirit and in truth, and not in Christmas or Easter or Sunday Sabbath, and all of the other paganism that the Christians are doing. Because they're acting like the ancestors of the Jewish people. And that's why Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and all of the Prophets told them, "Get ready. Nebuchadnezzar is coming because of your behavior." Well, guess what? Now our Christian friends are doing the same exact thing. Why? You'd have to ask them. Okay, I guess replacement theology. They don't know better. They're not reading their Bibles. They don't... Who knows? You have to ask them. But they're not doing it. They're acting. What's so interesting, I was thinking about this today. There was a Protestant Reformation from the Catholic Church, but I don't know what kind of reformation it was because they kept all of the pagan days. They kept all of the Roman days. These are all from Babylon, everybody. Christmas, Babylon. That's why Jeremiah told them not to do wooden images. Jeremiah 10. Moses said the same thing in Deuteronomy 7, or Deuteronomy 5. Just read the book of Deuteronomy. He tells you that Egypt was doing that crap. Babylon was doing that stuff. Rome's doing this stuff. Easter, go look at Constantine, everybody. It's very simple. 325 AD, the Council of Nicaea. Constantine tells you himself he changed it. So, don't leave me. Go read what Constantine said. He changed Passover to Easter. Changed the Sabbath to Sunday. Or he didn't, but he got the Christians to do that. And so, who are you going to follow? If you're out there and this is new to you, who are you going to follow? Are you going to follow Constantine, Babylon, Rome, or you going to follow your Master? Which one? Please choose one. You can't follow both. There's no way. I said, "Divide the kingdom, it will not stand." Everybody said, "Choose who you serve today. If Baal be God, let him be God. If the Lord is God, then everybody needs to repent." Who's a Christian who's doing this Babylonian stuff? Because that's what they are, as Babylonians, Constantinians, Romans. That's what they are, Gentiles. And go read what happens to the Gentiles. If you're saved in Yeshua the Messiah, you're not a Gentile, just like Paul says. So, quit acting like a bunch of pagans out there, my Christian friends, because it's going to get you this right here. That's only what it's going to get you. Don't trust me. Read what He says over and over and over again. What does He say in Mark 7? "You have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. And in vain they worship Me."

Right now, we have about two billion Christians worshiping the Master in vain because they don't know the times and the seasons. They don't know what's going on. They don't know the right ways to worship. And in Matthew 7, He will declare to them, "I never knew you." How can you know Him? How can you know Him if you don't know what the Torah says about Him? If you're not worshiping in the spirit and in truth, if you're not on the Sabbath, if you're not on the new moon, if you're not on the feast days, how can you know Him? You can't know Him through the right understanding. You have an American Jesus out there. You have a Roman Jesus out there, and it's just nonsense. No wonder this world is getting this way because His people of the book, the Jews and the Christians, are so out of alignment; they can't even see straight right now. On different points, Jewish people, Yeshua. Gentiles or Christians, the days. Get on the days or get out. That's what He's going to say. What are the days? The Feast calendar. Don't forget the Sabbath. The Sabbath isn't on there, but it's the first feast day. Leviticus 23 is the Sabbath. Get on it, and your life will change forever. Get on the Passover; your life will change forever. Eternal life. That's when He was crucified for you. Don't you think that's respectful to do that? What if I celebrated your death about a week or two later on my calendar because I have the grace to do that? No, get on His days or get out. That's what Yeshua the Messiah is telling all of us.

We could show you over and over again throughout the gospel accounts where Yeshua said to get on His days to worship Him in spirit and in truth. Everybody knows you can't worship Him in spirit and in truth on Sunday, thinking that's the Sabbath He's talking about. That's not the day that the Lord has made. Number one, that's not even talking about the Sabbath; it's talking about Passover in Psalm 118. By the way, it's not talking about the Sabbath even; He's talking about His crucifixion. It's a crucifixion hymn. We just have to get educated. I make no apologies. I love everybody, but goodness gracious, let's get some zeal and try to teach people and provoke them to jealousy. Provoking is not always, "Hey, could you please, could you please get on God's calendar, please? And please worship Him in spirit and in truth." That's just not my personality. I would go bonkers with that kind of stuff. Let's go. Let's get on it or get out, is what Yeshua the Messiah says. And that's what He says to me. He told me to get straight 12 years ago. He told me to get straight. My life was a lie. I had a cross around my neck. I was celebrating Christmas, Easter, whatever. I didn't really go to church, but anyhow, I had a cross. I love Jesus. No, I didn't. I didn't love Jesus because, guess what? In John 14 and 15, "He who has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves Me." And if you don't, you won't.

So, the homework for tonight, my friends, please go read John 14 and chapter 15. Every Jew and Gentile needs to go read what their Master said in John 14 and John chapter 15 about following His Father's commandments and how He and His Father are one. Keeping the commandments offends people. Everybody loves Jesus, right? Until you talk about the commandments. "Oh, that's legalism." No, it's not. What they're doing is legalism because they're following Roman law, they're following Babylonian law. That's legalism. They're following mankind, they're following Constantine, they're following the church. That is idolatry, and idolatry will not get them into the kingdom of heaven. Just go read 1 Corinthians 6. That's another scripture for the Christians. Paul writes that for all of our Christian friends. What does he say about Passover? Did he say celebrate Easter? No, he did not. Did he say celebrate Good Friday? Of course he didn't, or he would be a false prophet. What did he say in 1 Corinthians 5:7? "Keep the feast of Passover," is what he told the Corinthian church. Checkmate. I don't know what people are reading with their paganism, but again, the Bible will checkmate every single one of us from Genesis to Revelation, including the Apostle Paul. And he said to keep the feast of Passover, Christians, not your paganism, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, all this paganism that will lead you to this: "I never knew you." Because how can you? He's not on Easter. Why would He be? Why would He be on Christmas? Why would He? He's the Jewish Messiah. He's the Holy One of Israel. Holy. Holy. Holy. Not pagan. Holy. He can't be around this stuff. The Holy Spirit is holy. The Ruach is holy. Quit with the blasphemies. Quit with the abominations. Quit with the heresies. Christians, please. I love you to tell you this, and I'd rather you hate me when I tell you this than love me and say, "Yeah, you're good. You're good." No, you're not. No, you're not according to this. According to Matthew 7, according to Luke 19:41-44, according to Mark 7, Matthew 5, John. How about Matthew 23? What does He say? Go read the first verse. He says, "Whenever the Jewish people leadership sits in Moses' seat teaching you the Torah, listen to them in everything that they teach you. But when they don't, Talmud, Kabbalah, all this craziness that's going on over there in Israel, no, don't listen to them because it's oral traditions." And guess what? He called them serpents and vipers and then called them hypocrites about seven times. Exactly seven times so that they can get spiritual perfection. Number seven, think about that. Leadership of the Christians, the Pharisees of the Christians, also the Pharisees of the Jews. Wake up because the Master is the same. And then He went all of the discourse, Matthew 24, says, "Do not be deceived." Why did He say, "Do not be deceived" in Matthew 24? Well, look what He said in Matthew 23 to the leadership of Israel. And He would say the same exact thing to the Christians right now, the leadership. Serious stuff, everybody. This is not something to mess around with. People have the wrong understanding of who Yeshua truly is. All this American Jesus, Roman Jesus, "Ain't life grand? You've got the grace." No, you do not have the grace to break His commandments every single week, every single month, every single year. Abominations, abominations, abominations. Rebellion, rebellion, rebellion. That's all that Christianity is with the ways to worship: rebellion. 1 Samuel 15:22-24. Everybody loves Samuel, right? We're about to see who loves Samuel and who doesn't. He says this, "Obedience is better than sacrifice. To heed the Lord, to follow the Lord, His commandments is better than heaping rams on the altar." Rebellion, Christians, Jews, rebellion. Not following Him is just like the sin of witchcraft. We have a lot of people in witchcraft right now. And stubbornness or stiff-neckedness, Jews and Christians, is just like idolatry. Somebody please go read Samuel and please repent. Please, what this man, this holy prophet said, one of the first great prophets in the list of them. Go read what he said. And who's going to come against that? This is a man who anointed David. He anointed Saul. This was a holy prophet. And he says, "Your rebellion is just like witchcraft." And unfortunately today, we have a lot of people in witchcraft and a lot of people in idolatry for their stubbornness, their stiff-neckedness. They have their Jesus. No, they don't. They just don't. If they're not following the commandments, they just don't. That's all throughout the gospel account. They do not.

Go read Revelation 22:14-16, everybody. That's the back of the Bible. It's just like the front of the Bible, everybody, in the middle of it, and the Gospels and Paul and everybody. It's the same message from Genesis to Revelation. What does the Messiah say? What does the Master say? "Blessed are those who keep the commandments," not get rid of them. Blessed are those who keep them. Who are they? The ones who keep the commandments. They're the ones who enter Jerusalem, New Jerusalem, and partake of the tree of life. That's it. Go read what the Master says over and over and over again. He says the same thing. Blessed are those who keep the commandments; they only will inherit eternal life, New Jerusalem, and partake of the tree of life. Why? Because here comes the curse. Blessings and curses, just like God's instructions say in the Torah. Because outside are the dogs, or the Gentiles, is what that means. The Gentiles who love sorcery and practice falsehood. Go read it, and like I keep saying, weep for those who don't like it. If you don't like it, go weep about it because that's what the Master has said to every one of us, including myself. And He has corrected this one right here as well, over and over again, with a heavy hand, not a small hand, with a heavy hand, because He is serious about His commandments. Serious about those. So go read it. Revelation 22:14-16. The blessings and the curses. Go back and read what Moses said in Deuteronomy 26-28. The blessings and the curses. Go read what he says. And that's why I keep telling people, "Everybody loves Moses." Everybody loves Moses in Israel. We'll find out. We're going to find out who loves Moses, who loves God, who loves Yeshua. We're going to find out because from what I see in the Middle East, we're about to see it. We're about to see some really bad stuff because of the behavior of the Middle East, including Israel, by the way. All of them, including America, including the world. The whole world's going to get it. But that area is going to get Nebuchadnezzar. And when he comes down, and that's we've got some time for that, everybody. It's not going to happen tomorrow. It's not going to happen a year from now or two years from now, but whenever it comes, you're going to see people; they won't know what to do. And whenever Satan falls like lightning from heaven, whenever that time is during the tribulation at the midway point, Yeshua says, "I saw Satan fall like lightning straight down." And then all his angels with him, according to Revelation 12, Daniel 8, all these areas. He's going to indwell the Antichrist, Nebuchadnezzar, a figure, if you will, a military figure. He's going to go into the temple, proclaim God, and the Jew, or not all of them, but some of the Jews, some of the Christians, boom. And the Islamist and the Muslims, bam. And they will go to hell because they'll take the mark of the beast. And that's the result. You take the mark of the beast, you're going to hell forever. And that's why I say what I say and I will continue to say what I say, no matter what, because I love people and I love God. And we need to, we both, all of us, need to understand that we are in a massive, massive prophetic time right now. And this is turning out to be really interesting to see how this all unfolds in the Middle East. And from what I see with my own two eyes, and from the people I network with, boy, we've got some major work to do as Jews and Christians, if we love God, if we love the Master, and if we love people, and even if we love our enemy. And if we don't, then okay, I guess go enjoy your life and live your best life now. But for me, I'm going to try to do my little part in God's kingdom on this earth, and I'm going to speak what He says. I'm not going to give motivational speeches. I'm not going to give you a lemon cake and a coffee at church. This is what I'm about. To my Jewish friends as well, this is what I'm about. Moses is what I'm about. And that's going to offend the Jewish people because of what Moses said if they're out of alignment. If they're in disobedience, well, goodness gracious. I think that's common sense. Go look at Israel. Disobedience everywhere. And no wonder we're not getting the victories. No wonder we're not beating JV teams, terrorists. No wonder we're not doing any of that because of our disobedience in the promised land, our abominations all over the land, our false religion over there, Judaism, all of these things, Christianity, eggs, trees, mosques, homosexuality, abortion. I mean, goodness gracious, the list goes on and on. And our country is just the same. America, Sodom and Gomorrah, that's what we are in America, that is for sure. And the Jewish people need to wake up and understand it's the holy land and the promised land. And we have desecrated it, and now we're going to pay the price. There's a price to pay. If you go read Moses, Moses said this: "If you obey, Jewish people, and I love you with all my heart, it might not sound like it, but I love you with all my heart, and I'm just the way that I am, and I love you." Disobedience, He will bring the enemies against you. Obedience, He will keep the people away from you. That's in the Torah. Everybody loves God, right? Everybody loves Moses, right? Well, that's what it says in summary: obedience, no enemies, enjoy the land of milk and honey. Disobedience and all this crap going on over there, all this pagan stuff and abominations. He personally, God Himself, the God of Israel, will bring the enemies against you. So, if you can receive it, everybody, He's going to bring Hamas against them, Hezbollah against them, Iran against them, the Houthis against them, Turkey against them, the beast kingdom against them, and then the remnant will repent. Okay, the third will repent. But until that time, I guess they're going to try to overcome this stuff on their own power. And He's going to break that power. He's going to break that pride. He's going to break the American pride. He's going to run America out of the Middle East. I think Iran is on the way to do that. If you look at the facts on the ground and not what the president's saying or the media is saying, go look at what's going down. 15 air bases destroyed. America, good job. President Trump, good job. American government, great job. Global economy about to fall down the toilet. Oil prices, boom, you name it. So again, God is running America out of the Middle East. Why? Because Israel has looked at them as their savior, if you will. Go to America. Bombs, weapons, money, all this stuff. And the Torah, the prophet says, "No, don't do that. Call on the God of Israel. Call on the God of Israel." Because the last time that they did this, Nebuchadnezzar came to Judah and destroyed it. Because they were going to Egypt and they were going to Assyria. You can read all this in the prophets if one cares to read the prophets. What happened? Jew, Nebuchadnezzar came to town for the first round. The second round, the Jewish people went to Egypt, went to Assyria. "Please save us. Please save us. We need your weapons. We need your horsemen. We need all this." And then God brought Nebuchadnezzar down. Why? Because He had to deal with Egypt and Assyria. And Nebuchadnezzar beat both of them at the battle of Carchemish. Nebuchadnezzar beat both previous great empires together so that he could judge Judah. Understand that. That's what happened. Please read the book of Jeremiah and understand Jeremiah 25. And now that's going to happen again. Why? Because right now, America is Israel's Egypt. Right now, America is Israel's Assyria. They're coming to us instead of calling on the Holy One and the King of Israel. And when they do, and they will, the remnant will, boy, they are going to see something they've never seen before in their life when He comes to deal with the Islamist, but also He's coming to deal with everybody who practices falsehood as well. And that's what Christians need to understand.
