He replied, "Yes, Lord, you know I love you." Jesus told him, "Feed my lambs." 16 Jesus said a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He replied, "Yes, Lord, you know I love you." Jesus told him, "Shepherd my sheep." 17 Jesus said a third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was distressed that Jesus asked him a third time, "Do you love me?" and said, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you." Jesus replied, "Feed my sheep.

Chernofsky Five thousand seven hundred twenty four . Most of us are aware of the Hebrew year around the time of Rosh Hashana , when we open our new calendars and note the change. We may again consult our Hebrew calendars at various times during the year to learn the dates of the major religious holidays . By and large , however , we generally take for granted or ignore entirely something that has played a vital role in the history and religious life of our people down through the ages . Calendar Reform The importance to Jews of maintaining a system of Hebrew dating entirely independent of the civil calendar in use throughout the world , and the effect which the latter can have on our freedom to practice our religion , is pointed up by current attempts at calendar reform under consideration by the Ecumenical Council convoked in Rome by Pope Pius XXIII . The Vatican proposal provides for the incorporation of a blank or nameless day each year and a quarterly arrangement of dates which would result in all dates perpetually falling on the same day of the week . A major motivation behind the proposed change is the desire of Catholic religious leaders to have Easter Sunday occur on the same date each year . The effect on Jewish religious life , however , would be chaos . It would re sult in a situation where the Jewish Sabbath would fall on a different day each year , rather than just on Saturday . The Sabbath-observant Jew would then find himself in an extremely difficult position in the business world . Date of Easter While Hebrew calendar reckoning dates back to Biblical times , it was the establishment of the Christian solar calendar that intensified the need for a separate Hebrew system . Curiously , it was the determination of the date of Easter that played a major role in Christian calendar reform and its relationship to Jews . Although the two systems differ in that the Christian calendar is based on a solar year and the Hebrew calendar on a lunar one , based on the cycles of the moon , the date of Easter is still fixed according to the moon . At the Council of Nice , in 325 C . E ., the Christian religious leaders introduced a change which , while still reckoning Easter according to the moon , prevented it from coinciding with Passover . On the other hand , the Hebrew calendar , which begins each month with the appearance of the new moon , must also depend on solar reckoning in that the fifteenth of the month of Nissan ( the first day of Passover ) was never to occur before the vernal equinox a solar phenomenon . This requirement is based on the Biblical injunction in connection with Passover : Observe the month of Aviv ( spring ) . 29 or 30-Day Month Thus , the Hebrew calendar consists of 12 months of either 29 or 30 days with the addition of a 13 th month before Nissan , if the vernal equinox would not occur by the 16 th of the month . According to this method , the two calendars ( Christian solar and Hebrew lunar ) approximately coincide every 19 years . The Hebrew months at first were established entirely by observation of the appearance of the new moon . This involved the presentation of witnesses before the Sanhedrin who testified that they actually saw the new moon . The entire schedule of festivals during the year , then hinged on the establishment of the beginning of the month of Nissan when a decision would be made as to whether the extra month should be added . This decision was then transmitted to outlying Jewish communities . The difficulty in communicating the fact that the new moon had appeared and a new month had begun , gave rise to a custom of Jewish festival observance which has survived the ancient methods of establishing ri dates . As soon as the new month was established , this fact was communicated to the Jewish inhabitants at some distances by means of fire signals which were carried from station to station through mountains . Celebrate Two Days Those communities which could not utilize such signals , such as Egypt , Asia Minor and Greece , were left in doubt as to the exact day of the beginning of the month and consequently celebrated two days as the new moon and for each festival . Even after calculations eliminated the need for signals and a definite calendar was established by reckoning rather than by observing the appearance of the new moon , the practice of observing two days instead of the single day of Shavuot , and at the beginning and end of Passover and Sukkot , is still kept in communities outside of Palestine . In time , religious persecutions suffered by the Jews made it all but impossible to carry on the practice of fixing the start of each month by methods based on observation and communication , and definite calculations had to be made to establish a fixed calendar which would fix the dates of festival years in advance . Thus the observance of the holidays was necessarily made independent of a functioning Sanhedrin and readily available to the scattered Jewish communities throughout the world . This was finally achieved in the fourth century of the Common Era through the efforts of many Talmudic scholars who were also mathematicians and astronomers . 19 Year Cycle While the present Hebrew calendar with its 19-year cycle of leap-years maintains the equilibrium between the lunar and solar systems , it is not exactly perfect . It has been calculated that the Hebrew calendar diverges further from the Gregorian calendar at the rate of about five hours every century . While the rate of divergence between the Hebrew month of Nissan and the spring is inconsequential , it will theoretically eventually require an adjustment by the rabbinic authorities . It is nevertheless fortunate that , a calendar established by calculations more than 1 , 500 years ago can serve so well today the complex structure of Jewish religious observance . Blind Faith Hebrews 11:1 11 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, being convinced of what we do not see. John 20:29 29 Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are the people who have not seen and yet have believed. Spiritual Help John 10:10 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and may have it abundantly John 3:16 16 For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. Eternity in people's heart Ecclesiastes 3:11 11 God has made everything fit beautifully in its appropriate time, but he has also placed ignorance in the human heart so that people cannot discover what God has ordained, from the beginning to the end of their lives Desires of lust 1 John 2:16 16 because all that is in the world (the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the arrogance produced by material possessions) is not from the Father, but is from the world. James 1:15 15 Then when desire conceives, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is full grown, it gives birth to death. Grace - Faith - Works James 2:14-26 14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but does not have works? Can this kind of faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacks daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, keep warm and eat well," but you do not give them what the body needs, what good is it? 17 So also faith, if it does not have works, is dead being by itself. 18 But someone will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith without works and I will show you faith by my works. 19 You believe that God is one; well and good. Even the demons believe that, and tremble with fear. 20 But would you like evidence, you empty fellow, that faith without works is useless? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 You see that his faith was working together with his works and his faith was perfected by works. 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Now Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness," and he was called God's friend. 24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 And similarly, was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she welcomed the messengers and sent them out by another way? 26 For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. Ephesians 2:8 8 For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God; Salvation Prayer https://a-c-t-s.net/Q%20and%20A%20-%20Part%2002.php With or without God Matthew 6:24 24 "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money Rapture 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 13 Now we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve like the rest who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also we believe that God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep as Christians. 15 For we tell you this by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will surely not go ahead of those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be suddenly caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words. The 7 Year Tribulation Revelation chapter 4 to 20. Return of Jesus Revelation 19:11 to 21 The New Jerusalem (which is also called the Tabernacle of God, the Holy City, the City of God, the Celestial City, the City Foursquare, and Heavenly Jerusalem ) Revelation 21:9-27 Width of the New Jerusalem is 1400 miles. Since it is about two third the size of the moon we do not think it will land on Earth. But chapter 21 verse 3 reads differently. Width of the Earth is 7918 miles. Width of the Moon is 2158 miles. Even with these dimension the bible reads in Revelation 21:3 3 I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, "Look, God's home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever." What comes after you will need to read Revelation 22 1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life water as clear as crystal pouring out from the throne of God and of the Lamb, 2 flowing down the middle of the city's main street. On each side of the river is the tree of life producing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month of the year. Its leaves are for the healing of the nations. 3 And there will no longer be any curse, and the throne of God and the Lamb will be in the city. His servants will worship him, 4 and they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 Night will be no more, and they will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will shine on them, and they will reign forever and ever. 6 Then the angel said to me, "These words are reliable and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants[q] what must happen soon." 7 (Look ! I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy expressed in this book.) 8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things, and when I heard and saw them, I threw myself down to worship at the feet of the angel who was showing them to me. 9 But he said to me, "Do not do this![w] I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers the prophets, and with those who obey the words of this book. Worship God!" 10 Then he said to me, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy contained in this book, because the time is near. 11 The evildoer must continue to do evil, and the one who is morally filthy must continue to be filthy. Theone who is righteous must continue to act righteously, and the one who is holy must continue to be holy." 12 (Look ! I am coming soon, and my reward is with me to pay each one according to what he has done! 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end!) 14 Blessed are those who wash their robes so they can have access to the tree of life and can enter into the city by the gates. 15 Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the sexually immoral, and the murderers, and the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood! 16 "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star!" 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let the one who hears say: "Come!" And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wants it take the water of life free of charge. 18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy contained in this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. 19 And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book. 20 The one who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon!" Amen! Come, Lord Jesus! 21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Incorruptible and indestructible Bodies 2 Corinthians 5:1-10 1 For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. 2 We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing. 3 For we will put on heavenly bodies; we will not be spirits without bodies. 4 While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it's not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us. Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life. 5 God himself has prepared us for this, and as a guarantee he has given us his Holy Spirit. 6 So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord. 7 For we live by believing and not by seeing. 8 Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord. 9 So whether we are here in this body or away from this body, our goal is to please him. 10 For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body. We also talked about a song and it was Amazing Grace: Amazing grace, How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I am found, Was blind, but now I see. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come, 'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far And grace will lead me home. The Lord has promised good to me His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be, As long as life endures. Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease I shall possess within the veil, A life of joy and peace. When we've been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun, We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we've first begun. |

I recently asked, we're supposed to smile. But sometimes it's hard to do that. We have things also in our own life that we have to go through. So, but we do our best. And we lift each other up. And then we'll go through another phase. And obviously, Jesus is always around us helping us out. And so today, we're going to try to continue what we talked about in part one, so if you haven't watched it, please do so. Because we're not going to go back and do a recap of what we talked before. So right now we're gonna start with. Why is it so hard to follow God as in Jesus, and his commandment that he gave us while he was here on Earth, and what he was expecting from the disciples to carry on afterwards. And Peter, my good friend knows his Bible pretty good. And I am a Ordained Minister, I'm not completely finished with my course, which had been added for over three and a half years. And I got about six more months to go before I'm done. So we're getting there. So what do you think about that question? Peter Hiebert 1:26 Well, some, some might say, right off the bat. Well, yeah, obviously, it's hard to follow God, I can't do it. And so I'm just going to stay where I'm put. But the other side of the coin is, Scripture says, the way of the transgressor is hard. So you have to sort of pick your battles. So as for being hard to follow God's instructions, it's actually worse than that. It's, it's almost, it's actually impossible, if you're going to do it on your own. But once you come to God through Jesus, and have His Holy Spirit indwell in you, and then he makes it possible, it makes you want to do God's will, and he enables you to do it. So that takes the hardness out of it Claude Leonard 2:18 right. Now, what do you just said, something came to my mind? I'm not going to say God just talked to me, because there's more than just that. But it's a Triune. God, three in one, one in three. I'm not talking about the Musketeer here. I'm talking about God, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Now, when you mentioned about Jesus, only through Jesus, can we reach God, that's God the Father. But Jesus, when he left, he left his spirit, His Holy Spirit into us, that when we come to him, the Holy Spirit comes to us right inside of us. And if we have done the prayer, properly, salvation prayer that is, then things can start to happen. Because then we will recognize that we have been blessed by God, because we, by our own volunteer will do different things. If we were doing things one way, now we're going to do a different way, but it's going to be for the better because we want the glory to go to God, right? And as we are growing with God through the Holy Spirit, we will change because we want to, we want to please Him more then anything else. Right? Right. Okay. So with that in mind, why so many people want to stay away from God? Peter Hiebert 3:59 Well, first off, there is nothing in in ourselves, that, that desires him. Some people may think that we have a natural bent, to look to God, but really, it's the other way around. We scripture makes it very clear that there is none that seeks after God. Were all have gone out of the way we are all on our own way. And our own nature is not interested the least bit. And the things that pertain to the kingdom of God down here. Claude Leonard 4:35 So anything to do with the Spirit of God, no, we love to most what's going on on this planet that we don't want to be up there, right? Because we have we think we have everything here. But it's also been deceived, because we don't see the door to reach a higher state of mind. Peter Hiebert 4:56 Right, yeah. if we're talking about mere religion that's no problem. That's, that's something that our own nature can easily handle. But once it comes to think, considering the things of God, as I have been revealed to us through the Word of God, then that gets to be too specific for or old nature, and it just backs away, right? Claude Leonard 5:24 Okay, so as you gonna be listening to us, you're gonna notice that we really love Jesus and God the Father, and obviously the Holy Spirit, because he dwells in us day in and day out. And because the Triune, God or three and one, and when Jesus says, I will send you a deal, the spirit, we are attached to all three of them, not just the one, it's all three of them. So you have to think about this, because if this goes the way it's supposed to go, not only because I have, I won't say loopholes, but I found something in the Bible as I was doing my studies. And I confirm those research with other people around the world. And we pretty much all came down to one big thing is that very soon that the Feast of Trumpet is going to come. Now a lot of people thought it was in September. But a lot of people don't know that there is a 30 day lap this year, where they have to add one month to the year to make up for it. Because there's a way to calculate, each month, the sliver of the moon, when it starts that sliver is the beginning before it becomes a full moon. And when they see that, they also have to see where it is up there in the universe, where the sliver is in relation to where the sun is. And that's all they know, they that's the leap year for Israel to move the calendar by 30 days. And the reason they do it 30 days compared to most Western civilization, we follow a four year and once every four years, the leap year we add one day, but they use the lunar cycle. So every 30 days, it starts over again, another 30 days, another 30 days. And when they get to a certain point, they add a 30 days to the calendar, which I'm pretty sure it's about four years also. And then they're back in line pretty much with everybody else. So they're going to be a link at the bottom of the video in the description. And you could follow that link and you'll understand more about this 30 day thing. Instead of making this video a three hour video. So just remember that part and we'll get back to you soon. And they'll be more links at the bottom to give you as much information we can and things that you can probably use if you want to do research in the Bible. If you are interested and learn more about why we believe in. We just talk about why so why Faith is blind. When someone to talk to someone else, and they go oh, you know, I saw these two guys the other day on the street they were talking they were talking about this God and and that to be saved and to go to heaven. This is what you have to do it in theory attention to that, man, it's just gross. And the other one just say yeah, you know why? So conversation stop there. But what starts someone who doesn't believe in Jesus to start thinking more about this and have a change within themselves and then be more curious about what's going on on that side of the fence? Peter Hiebert 9:28 Well, for one thing, they've done surveys and they found out that most people know that they they need spiritual help. They suspect they have a soul, that's going to end up somewhere is going to go somewhere. And, and so people, people are searching, but many people don't really know for what, okay and so when you look throughout the world There are many people who run into all kinds of animistic religions, and you name it all kinds of man made stuff. But it's like we don't hit the target, till we hear about the one true God, who is revealed in the Scripture. So I think your question was, how do we? What is it that Claude Leonard 10:25 that's something that pulls us? Yeah, a lot a bit, too. I'm not saying that someone on the outside is pulling us to be more curious. I'm saying ourselves, our brain is saying, check. Peter Hiebert 10:39 Yeah, well, you know, we have in ourselves, a God made vacuum, that we stuffed full of all kinds of things, because that vacuum shouldn't be there. We put all kinds of things in there religion, you name it. But it doesn't do the trick. There's a, there's a scripture says, God has placed eternity in our hearts. And I just want to think that refers to that vacuum. And so it's only God Himself, through the finished work of Jesus, who can fill that vacuum. And so when we get to the point where we hear about the True Jesus, not just a fake Jesus, because there are fake Jesus, their false Christ are there too. Yes. When they hear about him, then immediately they are faced with that all important decision, what are we going to do with with this Jesus, who, who lived in history, and died. And so and at that point, if we really, in our ourselves, desire him, I believe that desire itself comes from the Holy Spirit drawing as because scripture make it plain of it. No man come to the Father, except the Spirit of God drawing him. But we have to be ready to respond to his reaching out to us to come to him, okay. Claude Leonard 12:17 There's a subject I'd like to touch. But I don't want you guys to think that we're doing this to bring fear, that's not the purpose here. The purpose is to give you knowledge. So you can make a decision, either now, later, or much later, or no decision whatsoever. And at the same time, what could be the consequences of whatever you decide to make. And that is to do, if you haven't heard, we touch it just a little bit before about the Feat of trumpet. It's also a time when Israel is going through the Fest of trumpet once a year, that they expect God to come and get His people out of here, as in Jesus Christ, bringing all the Christians back home. Now, we don't know if it's gonna be all the Christians gonna go. Because for those who are real Christian who are righteous, they go out and do things for God. Because the Bible does says, Faith is good. But Faith without works is dead, and works without faith, it is not going anywhere, either. So when you come to God in faith, then the grace comes in, and the Holy Spirit comes in dwells in you. And after that, it's up to you to decide if you're going to stay home and be potato couch, or couch potato, and watch TV all day and do nothing else. While there's nothing there. And now, have you come to Jesus? No, because you're doing nothing. If you were born with the spirit inside of you born again, that that's why they call it is there something inside of you that says, hey, this is enough, we have to go out, we have to do something, we have to change. We need a Bible, we need to read it, or we need to talk to more people who just came to Christ, so we can understand what's going on and get more knowledge out of it. And then you're doing the work as you are searching and you're doing something, it is the work. I'm not when we're talking works. We're not talking, digging a hole, or working at the office. That's not the kind of work we're talking about. The work that God asked us to do is to share your testimony with someone else, so they can have what you have. And when we feel it inside of us, and my friend Peter can testify to this do something changed inside of us, we want to be better. We want to change our body. like God shows us things. And it's up to us to decide. Yeah, I want to do it or No, I don't want to do it. We got them on get upset with you if you don't do it, but he will really like you if you do something. Right, right. And so, with that in mind, we are giving you a choice now to make that decision, if you want to be with God or away from God, but we're going to give you as much information as we can. And we're going to leave a lot of links at the bottom of the description so you can look further and make your final decision what you want to do and be with God or be away from God. So if you want to be with with God, there's a salvation prayer. And it's pretty much go like this, Claude Leonard 15:46 through the blood of Christ, I've come to you, Lord Jesus, I want to be with you. I want to repent of all my sense. And I know the only person who can save me is you. And the only person who can bring me to Heaven is you, Jesus. Because the father always said that only through you, Jesus that we can get to heaven, in our name be written in the book of life. So when we die, or during what's called the rapture, I go home in heaven, then the father will look into the book of life. And if my name is in there, I get my pass, and I go in, I'm not talking about the other pass, or a pass to go into a plane, I am talking about a pass to go to heaven. This is different, really different, because that passes in your heart is in your soul, soul, all your might. And in your name, Lord Jesus, I pray this prayer, they will accept me, help me to change to be a better person. In your name, Lord Jesus, I pray this prayer. Amen. Claude Leonard 17:00 Make that prayer your own. And at the bottom of this video, you got the salvation prayer, all written out, follow it and decide what you want to do next. Now, the consequences of not coming to Jesus, in especially in these days, because the clock is ticking faster than it was before. And my friend Peter can testify for that, too, is that when we don't accept Jesus, then there's only one place that you'll be able to go. And this is how it works. When Jesus called his people, if this does happen, on the Feast of Trumpet, which is between the sixth of October this year, until the eighth of October, this year, from 10:16, in the morning, central time to 10:16 in the morning, central time between the six and the eight, that's 48 hours. Any time during that 48 hours is when Israel expect God, Jesus, to come and get all the Christian out of this planet. With the Holy Spirit, we won't be here to help you and guide you and give you everything you need. So what will happen next, since we are all gone, is that tribulation, the seven years of tribulation that is written in the book of Revelation will start. It is going to look kind of what's going on right now, with a tad higher intensity with chaos going on. And after the three and a half years, there'll be another three and a half years to make the full seven years. And that last three and a half is gonna be really, really, really bad. To a point that a third of the population, if I'm remembering correctly will die from all this. I'm not saying that there's disease that's gonna contribute into this. I'm saying that God will be sending what you call it? Peter Hiebert 19:26 Pestilence, Claude Leonard 19:27 Pestilence like it happened in Egypt, also known as plagues. There's going to be more volatile than what happened in Egypt, Peter Hiebert 19:37 maybe with some man made phenomena where we bring, bring some of this disaster upon ourselves. Claude Leonard 19:42 Yes, yes. So this is what you're going forward to. Now after the seven years. Then the Christian are coming back. With the guidance of Jesus, God the Father and the Holy Spirit. to rain over this world, and Jesus is going to bring his own temple. And it's huge. It's about 1500 miles (correction it is 1400 miles) by 1500 miles, square, it's like a cube, and it's gonna sit right where Israel is, that's this kingdom that is His people. And that's where he's going to be. 1500 miles, I checked in the internet the other day about how high that is, Mount Everest? No, let me rephrase this, from the top of the ocean, to outer space, that's about, I bought around it up 10 miles, Peter Hiebert 20:51 make it 20, if you like. Claude Leonard 20:53 But this thing is huge. I'm not saying it's the planet on top of another planet, but it's huge. So what we're trying to say is that if you want to go to tribulation, because you don't believe in what we're talking about, hey, go for it. That's your decision, we cannot change your mind. We're not here to change your mind. We're giving you as much information. And again, there will be a lot of links at the bottom for you to understand more what we're talking about, instead of to you to decide what you want to do afterwards. Peter Hiebert 21:29 Yeah, I think it should not realize too, they are not. We are not here to work anybody into a certain organization that we operate. Claude Leonard 21:40 Correct. Peter Hiebert 21:41 Or any particular denomination, so to speak. domination. Yeah. This is this is strictly Bible. God's word. Yes. Yeah. No, no personal benefit to us. No, in any way that they are answerable to God, not unless we are not in charge. We are merely Ambassadors for Christ. Claude Leonard 22:00 Yes. And as Ambassadors of Christ. When God speaks to us, and he does have a voice and we can hear him. And but he's not there all the time. Why don't we rephrase that he's there all the time. But he's not talking all the time. Something you could feel he's just kind of nudging you. Okay, Claude, you're saying this, and you saying that? And but sometimes he does ask to do something. And if you follow Him, then things more happens. Peter Hiebert 22:31 I should maybe just mention out, I'm worried about explanation regarding the heavenly Jerusalem coming down. Some people will think you know, what, if coming down, you know, that's going to, that's crazy, that's going to just obliterate the landscape around for 1500 miles every direction. But from what I understand, I think it will be located in the air, just above the earth, so that the topography is not really going to change. It's probably will be a stairway going up to it, okay. And that's terrible, we will be guarded. Not just anybody will be allowed up. And so it'll be you might say, business as usual, down on the on the ground. But there will be the temple of God, which will be lighted by the presence of God. Claude Leonard 23:25 In Heaven, another thing is going to be beautiful up there is that they are going to be tree filled with fruits, and every month is going to be plentiful again. And in the temple. They'll be no darkness. They'll be no time to sleep, because the light of God is going to be shining nonstop for 1,000s of years. Peter Hiebert 23:52 Yep. Lamb is the light throw up. You said you said heaven. Some people will say Well, where's heaven? Anyhow? Well, this is the temple of God. One thing we need to remember is, at least from my personal understanding, I see very little in Scripture about what happens after the sounds a year right now we were talking about the temple is down here. Yes, this called the millennium, the 1,000 year reign of Christ. And so beyond that, is we are I think we're in for some surprises. Yes. But it could be that it will be just a totally renewed earth. And it will be it will be as heavily as you can, as God can make it. Claude Leonard 24:37 Yes, yes. When the Bible says we're going to live forever. With God and our body, when we being called to go To Heaven before the tribulation start, our body is going to be transformed. Incorruptible, indestructible. is forever really forever? Like we know for the first 1,000 years, we're not going to die, we're going to be with him. And the Tree of Life, the fruit, if we ingest that will live forever. But after that, like you said, we don't know what's going to happen after that. And making assumption defies everything else. But I'd be happy to live another 1000 years. Peter Hiebert 25:36 Well, as a songwriter, he thought about that. So he, so he put these words on a couple lines, he says, When we've been there, 10,000 years, right shining as the sun, we've no less time to sing his praise. And when we first began, Oh, there you go. Basically a friend. We're not talking. When we say we're forever, we're not talking endless time. It because there won't be any time. It's just straight, eternity stretching. And of course, this is rarely stretches out the same for the unbeliever where he is. And for the unbeliever where they are. Wow. Which is an unpleasant thought. For those who are considering going into a Christless eternity. Claude Leonard 26:25 Yes. That's the other thing. Hell, there's not a funny place. No, and you will not die. Now you will go over and over and over the destruction of your body for the pain you have caused, Peter Hiebert 26:39 yeah, and help what makes hell what it is, and never mind any flames or what have you, is the thought and is the place of no hope, no return, and you are locked in. Because the scripture says as a pointer to man wants to die. But after this, the judgment. And at that point, your your feet is seal, right? Going by the decisions that you made while you were in the body, your heart was beating and your mind was operating. Claude Leonard 27:14 And that's why it's so important for you guys to make a decision before all this starts. Even when that decision come you still got another seven years to make it. But are you gonna be able to make it on time? Because anybody these days, or any times can walk down the street. And the next thing you know, you just got a heart attack, you just drop to your knees than you dead. You cannot talk, you're done. And whatever you were doing up to that moment, is what going to continue afterwards. So if you haven't come to God before you die, then there's only one place you're going to go and that's away from God. Peter Hiebert 27:54 Yeah. And when you think of how much time do I have left? Well, the question on question could be asked, Well, how far am I from eternity anyhow? Well, one person put it very plainly. One heartbeat. That's it. Claude Leonard 28:08 Correct. So well. So this is the end of Part Two. My friend Peter and I, Claude, we gonna be talking more about what we just give you today. And see if there's maybe a part three coming up. I know I'm going to be making another video but not part of these this series that we're doing right now. So obviously stay tuned, and we'll talk to you soon. And hopefully we'll meet you guys in heaven. |
Please click on this link, so will know what you and others will have to face during the Tribulation. There is only one way for the Holy Spirit to dwell in you, and there is only one way to get to heaven. That is by accepting Jesus. First, you need to believe in Jesus. Next, you ask Jesus that you want to repent and start anew. Ask Jesus to cleanse all your sins. Reading the words is one thing. Your intention comes from the word through your heart and soul. Passages from the bible: Romans 3:10-23, Romans 5:12, Romans 5:8, Romans 6:23, Romans 10:13, Revelation 3:20, Romans 10:17, Matthew 10:32-33 This passage will make your covenant truly part of Jesus: 1 Peter 1:16-25 16 for it is written, "You shall be holy, because I am holy." 17 And if you address as Father the one who impartially judges according to each one's work, live out the time of your temporary residence here in reverence. 18 You know that from your empty way of life inherited from your ancestors you were ransomed not by perishable things like silver or gold, 19 but by precious blood like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb, namely Christ. 20 He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was manifested in these last times for your sake. 21 Through him you now trust in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. 22 You have purified your souls by obeying the truth in order to show sincere mutual love. So love one another earnestly from a pure heart. 23 You have been born anew, not from perishable but from imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God. 24 For all flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of the grass; the grass withers and the flower falls off, 25 but the word of the Lord endures forever. And this is the word that was proclaimed to you. Warning to everyone: Therefore, Whosoever shall confess Me before men, him will I also confess before my Father which is in Heaven. But whosoever shall deny Me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in Heaven. The path: As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Wherefore, as by one men sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. But God demonstrated His love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. For the wages, if sin is death; but the gift of God shall call upon the name of the Lord. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart, men believe unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. Behold I stand at the door, and knock; if any man hears my voice, and open the door, I will come into him and will eat with him, and he with me. So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. The Salvation prayer: I accept you Lord Jesus as my saviour. I confess that You, Jesus Christ, in my life. I believe You have been risen from the dead. I repent and turn from my wicked ways. You shed Your blood on the cross for my sins. I have been a sinner, and I recognize I can't save myself. Lord Jesus, I trust in you right now to save me from all hellfire and, above all, take me into your Heavenly Kingdom. Thank you for my salvation, Lord. I want the best I can have from You, in your precious name, Amen. What should you do now? If you like your church stay there but if you feel like you need to move then follow the Holy Spirit.
