In this segment: Chadwick analyzes Matthew 24, emphasizing its chronological order and Yeshua's warning against deception, stressing the importance of following Yeshua's commandments and observing Shabbat and Feast Days. He predicts that God will use Islam to judge Christians and Jews for their pride and paganism, leading them towards the beast kingdom.
Okay, so again, that's what Paul's trajectory was. Let's look at Yeshua the Messiah. Everybody's familiar with Matthew 24, right? So, I'm going to give you a synopsis of it really quick and the trajectory that it should be on. It should be in order. And if one's not going to take Matthew 24 in order, then you have to take Luke 21 in order, which is the same thing. Same all of it discourse. Why? Because Luke 1 tells you to take his whole book in chronological order. So again, Matthew 24 is chronological order. But if you're not going to believe Matthew or Yeshua, then go to Luke 21 and you will see that. And that's for sure in order because Luke says that and it goes directly parallel to Matthew 24. So Matthew 24 opens up with, "What are the signs of the end of the age and your arrival?" So right there is the question of the second coming events at the end of the age. Yeshua says there's going to be earth, or He says, "Do not be deceived." Number one, that's very important. False preachers, false Christ, false rabbis, false everybody. So, we've got to understand false is what's going to happen right now. He's talking about right now. So, I'm not sure why everybody's caught up in religion or politicians right now instead of what Yeshua and Paul and everybody else is trying to say. So, He talks about the birth pains, earthquakes, famines, all these things. They're going to bring you up for tribulation, all this stuff. And then He talks about the abomination of desolation, the three-and-a-half-year mark. That's a very important marker. And then He talks about this right here. And let's look at what He says: "Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven. From the east to the west. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet." Hello, everybody. That's literal. Feast of Trumpets. "And they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other." My friends, He did not say, "Immediately before the tribulation, I'm going to come and get you." He didn't say that. He says after. So again, we're not reading. We're just not even reading what Yeshua said. He says after the tribulation, everybody's going on their feelings of wanting to get out of here because of the spirit of fear. And just let them continue with the spirit of fear because that's what's going to happen when all this stuff goes down. Immediately after the tribulation is when we get out of here, just like Paul said, the coming of the Lord and the gathering. Same thing here. Immediately after tribulation, then the gathering, right? I mean, it's perfectly aligned. Paul's perfectly aligned with Yeshua the Messiah, 1 Thessalonians 4 and 5, 2 Thessalonians 2, especially is right perfectly with our Yeshua Messiah. After the tribulation, redemption. After the tribulation, redemption, or with Yeshua returning. Same thing. So, He's both of them are telling us this is going to be one event. He's coming to get us out of here to pour out His 10 days of wrath, and we're hidden in the pavilion of the Lord, and He's going to pour out the seven bowls on the people, the sickle of the sword and the sickle of the fire. Revelation 14:4, the seven bowls. That's what He's talking about if one understands the timeline. Super important.
So, what does that mean? That means the Feast of Trumpets is when He's returning. You saw it from Matthew 24 and 1 Thessalonians and 2 Thessalonians, the Day of the Lord. So, if one's just joining us now, seven years, it begins on the Feast of Trumpets. It will end on the Feast of Trumpets, right? If He's returning on the Feast of Trumpets, then seven exact years on the Feast of Trumpets, right? And then the Day of the Lord. So, seven years, Trumpets to Trumpets, Day of the Lord. That's the shmita cycle, by the way. Not to get into that tonight, but it's very important if one's not into that. Leviticus 25, the seven-year cycle. And that's why this cycle coming up here in three years, almost three exact years, is very, very important to watch for. Especially when you see all of these lunatics in the world carrying our world to one place, only to the tribulation. And we'll see what happens.
As we go forward with the understanding, look at what He continues to say. "Then two men will be in the field. One will be taken, one left. Two women will be grinding at the mill. One will be taken, one left." That's your resurrection, y'all. Right after He says this. He says this first. "Immediately after the tribulation, He gathers us." And then look at what He continues to say. "Two men will be in the field, one taken, one left." There's your resurrection, everybody. "Two women will be grinding at the mill, one taken, one left." "Watch, therefore, for you do not know what hour, not day, what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore, you also be ready, for the Son, Son of Man is coming an hour, not a day, an hour you do not expect." My friends, He's telling you, you can understand this. This is not to set dates. This is to watch these things. Understand the cycle, understand these things, and just watch like we all do on the channel. We're just watching and trying to understand what's going down. He does not say you will not know the day. Or He says hour, hour, not day. So, we've got to understand, He's wanting us to understand this because He wouldn't have said this stuff.
Matthew 25, He continues with the Olivet Discourse. And excuse me, what does He say? The wise virgins and the foolish virgins. So, why would He say this if He didn't want you to understand? The wise and foolish virgins are very important to understand. And what happened? The foolish virgins knocked too late, kind of like Noah's story. Too late, too late. And that's why I say what I say again. I mean, I just again, I want people to understand whether they like it or not, like it, that's not up to me. They've got to understand these things, or they're going to be called as a thief in the night. And I don't want to see anybody being called as a thief in the night, and I know you guys don't either. But we have to read slowly. We have to pull out these things instead of just surface readers and motivational speeches and lemon cakes and coffee at church. None of that. Let's get down to it. Fasting, prayer, understanding, and all of these things, not all of this yo-yo stuff that's going on out there.
Let's look, look what Yeshua says with the lukewarm church. We all know all of the churches in Revelation. We all know we want to be a part of the faithful church. There's a dead church as well. There's no sense in going through that. I'll go through that. I think one of the feast days, Yom Kippur or Trumpets. But let's go through the lukewarm church because that's where a lot of Christians are. Christians, they love Jesus, but there are no commandments. There are none of that. It's "I've got my faith and I've got Jesus and that's all that I need." No, it's not. You need to get on board and follow the commandments. That's what is the true understanding of "pick up your cross and follow Him." Not yourself, not your church, not your synagogue, not anybody, not myself, not no one. Follow Him. What did He do? He observed these. And if you don't, thief in the night, you're going to be judged severely for that. I don't know how that looks, but you'll be judged severely for not following what He said. Pick up our cross and follow what He did. He did not do Christmas. He did not do Easter. He did not go to synagogue on Sunday. He went on the Shabbat and He celebrated the Shabbat. Why? Because if He did not, again, eliminate Him from being the Jewish Messiah. And the Son of God. He had to fulfill everything perfectly because He was perfect and He is perfect and He's coming back to pour out His wrath for those who don't understand these things, who are "ain't life grand," all this nonsense with paganism. That's who He's coming back for. Falsehood, as well as the Islamists, of course. He's coming back to do.
So, let's read the lukewarm church and look at what the Master says. "And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans, write these things, says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God. I know your works, lukewarm church, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth. Because you say, 'I am rich. I have become wealthy and have need of nothing.' And you don't know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, in the tribulation, Antichrist, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Amen to that. Therefore, be zealous." Let's get some zealousness, everybody. Zealousness. And people can't handle that, but that's okay. You get zealous. Don't worry about anybody else. You do your part with God and be zealous. That's what He's looking for. "And repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes, I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
My friends, I will go through the faithful church and the dead church on the feast days. I think it's one of the two, Trumpets or Yom Kippur, and we will go through the other two. But there are a lot of churches right now. Most churches out there are lukewarm. At best. I would say dead, but I'll be nice. Lukewarm. But look at what Yeshua says. He's going to spit them out of His mouth. So that's why I keep telling people, there is no middle ground. There is no fence riding. It's either get in or get out. Hot or cold, wise or foolish, good or evil. He all goes through that throughout all the Gospels. I'm not sure why everybody's tiptoeing around this stuff. Get in or get out, is what He says. Get hot or stay cold or lukewarm out. So, what's the point? Let's get hot. Let's get hot. Because just like the song says, "When you're hot, you're hot. When you're not, you're not." So, we've got to understand that. I think Jerry Reed sung that back in 50 years ago. Who knows? Who cares? But that's the truth. When you're hot, you're hot. When you're not, it's bad stuff. Bad stuff according to what the Master said Himself. So, let's stay hot, friends. Let's stay hot and not cold. Let's get out of the lukewarmness. Let's get hot. Get wise, not foolish. Get good, not evil. Let's watch, therefore, and be counted worthy. Be counted worthy so that we can escape all these things that are coming on the earth. He's talking about the 10 days of awe. Everybody, the prophet Hosea 4:6, look at what the great prophet says, "My people perish for lack of knowledge." I mean, friends, I mean, I go through it all the time. I mean, Christians are going to perish. Jewish people are going to perish, and all the other pagan pagans are going to perish as well. Buddhism, Hinduism, and all that. It's going to perish, you know, because people don't have knowledge. And what's so sad is the people who say they love Jesus, they don't have knowledge. They have no knowledge. I mean, Christianity cannot show you these things of what Yeshua did. Why? Because they don't believe it. They don't observe it. They don't know it. It's not in their theology. That's what's so crazy. So, there's not probably one church, unless it's a Messianic church, that can that's going to show us this stuff. How sad is that? I mean, goodness gracious. You know how many people are deceived? About two billion Christians. Think about that. About two billion Muslims. Think about that. Half the world who says they love God in whatever way they say is deceived. My goodness. I mean, you wonder why people get upset and get frustrated and want to help people out and have zeal for mankind because think about that. Think about what we just read with the Apostle Paul in the New Testament, my Christian friends. It's not the Torah. It's not the Prophets. It's the New Testament. And Paul is telling you exactly what the Torah will tell you. Exactly what the Prophets will tell you. Strong stuff. But why not? I mean, I like that kind of stuff. I want somebody with zealousness. I mean, I don't really talk to people who don't have zealousness because they, I mean, why would I? I mean, I want to talk to people who are zealous, and they don't offend me at all. Actually, I love that kind of talk because it gets all of our spirits quickened because the Holy Spirit's trying to quicken everybody right now. He's trying to quicken everybody to wake themselves up and to get knowledge because, why? Just like He told, just like He influenced the prophet, the Holy Spirit, "My people perish for lack of knowledge." God does not want you to perish. He does not want the Jewish people to perish. He doesn't want the Christians to perish, or really mankind. But that's what's going to happen. And He's warned everybody. Everybody has been warned if they've got a Holy Bible. If they've got the Holy scriptures, they have been warned that they're just not reading it. And then when they read it, if they don't have the knowledge of the Torah, the Prophets, and the Psalms, they're going to take the Gospels out of context. They're not going to understand. I don't know why. I mean, every gospel account tells you that on the crucifixion, Passover. I'm not sure why Christians do Good Friday. I still can't understand that. Well, they're Babylonian. That's why they do that. They're Roman Catholics. All of them are because they celebrate Good Friday, Easter Sunday. Where's that in the Bible? It's not. Okay, either get in or get out, you know, just like Yeshua said. Okay? And worship Him in spirit and in truth, or it's going to be the judgment. I'm going to go ahead and tell you that right now. How insulting it is for Christianity to not celebrate His crucifixion on the right day. What if I celebrated your birthday on the wrong day? What if I celebrated your death on the wrong day? How about that? Let's just hold you over in the casket for about a week or two, and we get on my calendar and let me celebrate your death. I mean, what arrogance? What pride? What ego? And guess what? That church pride is going to be broken. Okay, I can go ahead and tell you that right now. Just like the Jewish people, Daniel 8, the pride will be broken. Christians, the pride will be broken. And it's coming. It's here. And it's called Islam. God's going to turn this world over to Islam to judge the Christians and the Jews. That is for sure. I think that's pretty obvious when you look around, unless you're in Trump land or Netanyahu land or whatever land. And they're leading both of these countries to the beast kingdom. Both of them.
