27 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:16.200 I want to submit to you that that is a spiritual dynamic and issue that should be evidence 28 00:02:16.200 --> 00:02:17.680 to everyone. 29 00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:22.680 What's with the name of Jesus? 30 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:23.920 Why is his name? 31 00:02:23.920 --> 00:02:32.060 Why is Jesus, his name is Jesus, his origin is earthly from Nazareth, right, Jesus of 32 00:02:32.100 --> 00:02:42.580 Nazareth, but his eternal state, his eternal nature is that he is God. 33 00:02:42.580 --> 00:02:46.740 And I'm deliberately dropping that bomb on you right now if you're not familiar with 34 00:02:46.740 --> 00:02:53.300 this theological fact because we're gonna be proving that to you in this and other soon 35 00:02:53.300 --> 00:02:58.140 to follow podcast regarding the person, the authority, the nature of who Jesus Christ 36 00:02:58.140 --> 00:02:59.140 is. 37 00:02:59.140 --> 00:03:03.100 We go through this together, let me give you a little bit background as to what I have 38 00:03:03.100 --> 00:03:05.300 in my hand right here. 39 00:03:05.300 --> 00:03:11.220 This is not from Wikipedia, this is not from some Christian dot com thing. 40 00:03:11.220 --> 00:03:19.700 This is literally actually something that was given to me and then I added to it. 41 00:03:19.700 --> 00:03:25.820 Here's the reason why many of you oldies like me might remember a guy by the name of Walter 42 00:03:25.860 --> 00:03:34.900 Martin, Dr. Professor extraordinaire, Dr. Walter Martin in Southern California. 43 00:03:34.900 --> 00:03:39.980 He was just a piece of iconic Bible instruction teaching. 44 00:03:39.980 --> 00:03:45.780 I had a chance to sit under his Sunday afternoon teachings at the Newport Mesa Christian 45 00:03:45.780 --> 00:03:50.960 Fellowship on Sunday afternoons, Lisa and I would go and Dr. Walter Martin would give 46 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:52.460 an afternoon lecture. 47 00:03:52.460 --> 00:03:59.740 He'd go for a couple of hours, it was spellbinding and I love this guy because he did not want 48 00:03:59.740 --> 00:04:05.100 to compete with any churches and back in those days, every church had a morning service 49 00:04:05.100 --> 00:04:09.420 and every church had a Sunday evening service and so he put his service right in the middle 50 00:04:09.420 --> 00:04:16.380 of the day and because he was very sensitive to that reality and anything you can get 51 00:04:16.380 --> 00:04:19.300 by Walter Martin is awesome. 52 00:04:19.300 --> 00:04:20.300 Read it. 53 00:04:20.700 --> 00:04:27.420 One of the great books that you should have on your shelf now is The Kingdom of the Colts 54 00:04:28.380 --> 00:04:31.980 by Dr. Walter Martin, The Kingdom of the Colts. 55 00:04:31.980 --> 00:04:39.180 Well, listen, he walked into the headquarters of the Jehovah witnesses in Brooklyn, New York. 56 00:04:39.180 --> 00:04:48.860 That's where they're based and he walked in there and he asked to speak to someone in charge, 57 00:04:49.820 --> 00:04:59.100 there and he went with the intent to witness and so they sent down to him a guy by the name 58 00:04:59.100 --> 00:05:08.220 of William sentner or sentner and William sentner came down to meet Walter Martin and he introduced 59 00:05:08.220 --> 00:05:15.980 himself, I am William sentner and I'm head over the Department of Correspondence to the Jehovah 60 00:05:16.140 --> 00:05:18.940 Witnesses, The Watchtower Society, how can I help you? 61 00:05:18.940 --> 00:05:23.980 And Dr. Martin said, you guys are God's witnesses, right? 62 00:05:23.980 --> 00:05:29.980 That's right, sir, we are and he said, I'd like to ask you some questions as to who am I speaking 63 00:05:29.980 --> 00:05:37.500 about? I have these Bible verses and I want you to answer me, who are we talking about? 64 00:05:38.380 --> 00:05:43.420 And he said, let's do it. That's fantastic. That's what I employed, that's what I'm employed to do. 65 00:05:43.660 --> 00:05:51.020 And the journey began and you say, Jack, how do you know? Because what I'm about to share with you, 66 00:05:51.020 --> 00:06:00.300 Dr. Walter Martin and William sentner, Bill sentner, went through this on stage at Calvary 67 00:06:00.300 --> 00:06:09.820 Chapel, Costa Mesa, I've got a guess in the early 80s and Lisa and I were there in person, 68 00:06:09.820 --> 00:06:19.580 we saw it live. And at that very time, I was working for, at that time was called American 69 00:06:19.580 --> 00:06:24.220 Edwards Laboratory, as a division of American Hospital Supply Corporation, massive global 70 00:06:24.220 --> 00:06:32.540 corporation, but otherwise known today as Baxter Healthcare or Edwards Life Sciences. I worked 71 00:06:32.700 --> 00:06:44.220 for Edwards Life Sciences and in one of our co-workers was a very, very enthusiastic Jehovah 72 00:06:44.220 --> 00:06:51.260 Witness. And so when I heard this presentation, I was so blown away that after I went right up 73 00:06:51.260 --> 00:06:58.860 to Bill sentner and I said, can I have what you guys did tonight? And he said, absolutely. 74 00:06:59.580 --> 00:07:06.300 Back in those days, he said, give me your address and I'll mail it to you. So it came by snail mail 75 00:07:07.260 --> 00:07:17.180 and I started using it on my friend at work. He was not only stumped, but he went to his 76 00:07:17.180 --> 00:07:26.140 Jehovah Witnesses overseers. They were stumped that my friend came back at work and said, 77 00:07:27.100 --> 00:07:33.340 I can't talk to you anymore about this. And what is the this that we could not talk about 78 00:07:33.340 --> 00:07:42.620 anymore? And that was this, Jesus Christ and his deity. He said, we can talk about anything 79 00:07:42.620 --> 00:07:49.500 else, but we cannot talk about his deity because I showed what you gave me to my leadership at the 80 00:07:49.500 --> 00:07:55.660 watchtower. And I've been advised not to speak to you anymore about the deity of Jesus. 81 00:07:58.460 --> 00:08:02.140 Boom. That tells you everything about what we're going to start doing. 82 00:08:03.740 --> 00:08:09.100 I want all of you to take notes. I want you to get pen and paper out or get your laptop up or 83 00:08:09.100 --> 00:08:13.660 if it's your tablet, your iPad, whatever it is. I want you to write these things down. 84 00:08:13.740 --> 00:08:22.300 Everyone who shows up at your door, knocking, riding up on bicycles, 85 00:08:23.180 --> 00:08:28.540 wearing a tie or carrying a briefcase, I don't care what cult they're from, 86 00:08:29.660 --> 00:08:34.300 they differ in a lot of areas, but there's a few things they agree on. 87 00:08:35.660 --> 00:08:41.180 And that to the point of death, they'll die for it. And it's this number one on the list 88 00:08:41.260 --> 00:08:47.660 that the cults all agree is Jesus Christ cannot be God. Number one, 89 00:08:49.180 --> 00:08:59.740 number one, Jesus Christ cannot be God in all of the cults. He is less than the God who he is 90 00:08:59.740 --> 00:09:06.140 in the Bible. If you're a Mormon right now, you're saying, well, we believe he's God. Of course, 91 00:09:06.140 --> 00:09:11.260 you do. And you believe you can become a God too. And there are millions and millions of Mormon 92 00:09:11.260 --> 00:09:20.060 gods. You've got Adam as God in Mormonism. In fact, according to Mormonism, Adam God is the God 93 00:09:20.060 --> 00:09:28.220 of this earth, planet earth. The God that the Mormon talks about is Adam. I don't know if you 94 00:09:28.220 --> 00:09:31.740 knew guys know that or not. You had to check that out. Now your Mormon friends are not going to 95 00:09:32.700 --> 00:09:38.300 overtly admit that. You got to search it in Mormon doctrine and teaching. But what does that do? 96 00:09:38.300 --> 00:09:43.660 It diminishes from Jesus. Why? Because the Bible says from Genesis to Revelation, there's only one 97 00:09:43.660 --> 00:09:51.180 God. Not a thousand, not a million. And you can't become a God. But do keep that in mind that the first 98 00:09:51.180 --> 00:09:57.740 false doctrine we hear about in the Bible is none other than from Satan himself who says, oh, come 99 00:09:57.980 --> 00:10:05.020 on, Eve. Take a bite because God knows, you know, God's been pretty nasty. If you think 100 00:10:05.020 --> 00:10:11.020 a baby's been holding out on you because he knows that the day of you eat, the day that you eat 101 00:10:11.020 --> 00:10:15.820 of this fruit, you'll be like him. But you want to be like God. Don't you want to be a God? 102 00:10:15.820 --> 00:10:21.020 And Eve fell for it. Anybody who knocks in your door and says you can become a God, you need to 103 00:10:21.020 --> 00:10:27.420 get some snake repellent or put some garlic on your door. I'm joking. You're going to need to use 104 00:10:27.420 --> 00:10:34.620 what we're going to start going through and be that any, listen, any as Walter Martin points out 105 00:10:34.620 --> 00:10:40.540 in Kingdom of the Colts, even if it's a Christian cult, you see a Christian cult. What is that? Yes, 106 00:10:40.540 --> 00:10:49.980 some apologists consider the Seventh-day Adventist as being a Christian cult. They believe in the blood of 107 00:10:49.980 --> 00:10:56.460 Christ. They believe in the cross. They believe in His resurrection. But they have wiggled laws and 108 00:10:56.460 --> 00:11:04.140 legalism into your salvation and your maintenance of your salvation. And one of them is the Sabbath 109 00:11:04.140 --> 00:11:11.020 keeping which they completely fail to read the book of Colossians on that. So I've pretty much 110 00:11:11.020 --> 00:11:16.460 offended a lot of people except the Jews or Muslims yet, but we'll probably get to that in a moment. 111 00:11:17.420 --> 00:11:26.620 So get your paper ready. I've given you enough time. The question is who is Jesus or is Jesus 112 00:11:26.620 --> 00:11:38.940 God that could be at the top of your page? Or is Jesus Christ truly Lord and Savior? 113 00:11:39.340 --> 00:11:48.940 That's the question. Who is Jesus Christ? The one of the Bible. Number one. And by the way, 114 00:11:48.940 --> 00:11:53.900 this is going to be an order. And I hope you enjoy this. Number one, here's where we start. 115 00:11:55.900 --> 00:11:59.660 And rig your Bible by the way. I would love for you to have your Bible right now. If not, 116 00:11:59.660 --> 00:12:03.740 go ahead and take these notes and then go rig your Bible. What do you mean rig? 117 00:12:04.700 --> 00:12:10.940 I only have to remember me, Jack. I only have to remember one verse to do this to anybody who 118 00:12:10.940 --> 00:12:18.220 knocks on my door. It's Isaiah 4812. That's all I need to remember. Isaiah 4812. Write it down. Because 119 00:12:19.180 --> 00:12:28.060 at Isaiah 4812, I'm going to write down the next reference. You see? I only need to remember one 120 00:12:28.140 --> 00:12:35.660 reference point. Isaiah 4812. And then the rest of it all flows. And so here we go. 121 00:12:38.460 --> 00:12:48.220 Yeah. Hi. Hey, nice to meet you. I'm here from the Cult of XYZ. And we'd like to invite you 122 00:12:48.220 --> 00:12:55.420 to come and join us at one of our readings or one of our gatherings or one of our discussions. 123 00:12:55.420 --> 00:13:00.380 Oh, well, that's interesting. Thanks for coming to my door. First of all, I'm a Christian. 124 00:13:01.100 --> 00:13:09.740 Oh, we're Christians too. Oh, well, let me ask you a question. Let me turn to Isaiah 4812. And I 125 00:13:09.740 --> 00:13:17.580 want to ask you, who are we talking about? Okay, great. And most people who knock on your door 126 00:13:17.580 --> 00:13:22.460 from a cult will have a Bible. By the way, Jovo Witnesses that might be turning in right now or 127 00:13:22.460 --> 00:13:29.420 somebody has forwarded this to you because you are a JW. Even in your Johann Grieber, listen, 128 00:13:30.060 --> 00:13:36.780 Johann Grieber version of the new king of the Old King James Bible, listen to me carefully, 129 00:13:38.060 --> 00:13:43.420 your version of the Johann Grieber Old King James Bible that the Jovo Witnesses work out of, 130 00:13:43.500 --> 00:13:52.460 which is also titled the New World Translation, that was published or produced by Johann Grieber. 131 00:13:53.500 --> 00:14:00.940 And he was a Greek scholar who failed to identify or believe that Jesus Christ is God. So what 132 00:14:00.940 --> 00:14:08.700 he did was he systematically attacked the deity of Jesus. And it just so happens that the Jovo 133 00:14:08.780 --> 00:14:16.700 Witnesses and their founding used his Bible. It's otherwise known as the New World Translation. 134 00:14:16.700 --> 00:14:22.220 But you can go ahead and use it. It's okay. Open it up because this is New World Translation 135 00:14:22.220 --> 00:14:30.460 proof. Okay. This works. Isaiah 4812. Question at my doorstep, sir. Who am I talking about? 136 00:14:31.180 --> 00:14:40.940 Listen to me, O Jacob referenced to Israel and Israel my called. I am he, capital H. I am the first, 137 00:14:41.580 --> 00:14:51.260 I am the last. Capital F first, capital L last, I am the first and I am the last. Who am I talking 138 00:14:51.260 --> 00:14:57.740 about? And the Jovo Witness, the Mormon, the cultist is going to say, that's God. And I say, 139 00:14:57.740 --> 00:15:02.220 well, can we be more specific? You know, God has a name in the Bible. We all agree on this. And 140 00:15:02.220 --> 00:15:09.900 that is Jehovah. Oh, yes, Jehovah. In fact, yeah, yeah. I'm a Jehovah Witness. I'm a Jehovah Witness. 141 00:15:09.900 --> 00:15:18.380 I met your door and yeah, great. So we all agree that this is God that Isaiah is referring to. 142 00:15:18.380 --> 00:15:25.260 Well, let's turn on over now because I wrote it down and Isaiah 4812. I wrote down Isaiah 446. 143 00:15:25.260 --> 00:15:31.660 So we turn over to Isaiah 446. Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, 144 00:15:31.660 --> 00:15:37.820 that is Israel's Redeemer, the Lord of hosts, by the way, it's all caps on Lord, which is the word 145 00:15:37.820 --> 00:15:49.900 Yah. Why a H? That is God's name. God is not his name. Yah is the name of the God of the Bible. 146 00:15:50.460 --> 00:15:59.580 We say Yahweh, but Yahweh is an extended mention of his actual name Yah. 147 00:16:01.820 --> 00:16:08.620 Hallelujah. Yah. Hallelujah is to praise Yah. Praise 148 00:16:10.060 --> 00:16:15.340 Salvation. His name actually, his name is Salvation. Yah is root. That's Salvation. His name 149 00:16:15.340 --> 00:16:24.060 is Salvation. Did you know that? It's awesome. Isaiah 446. Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel 150 00:16:24.060 --> 00:16:31.580 and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts, I am the first and I am the last. Besides me, there is no God. 151 00:16:32.860 --> 00:16:39.500 Who are we talking about? In that faithful, diligent worker at your front door will say, 152 00:16:40.220 --> 00:16:47.500 Jehovah God, no doubt about it. Hey, I agree with you right on. We're tracking. And they're 153 00:16:47.500 --> 00:16:51.260 going to be very proud of themselves. You're going to feel you're going to be feeling good too 154 00:16:51.260 --> 00:16:58.940 about yourself because they're stepping right into a truth trap here. So all right, very good. 155 00:16:58.940 --> 00:17:06.300 Let's go to Isaiah 41 verse 4. Isaiah 41 verse 4. Who has performed and done it, calling the 156 00:17:06.300 --> 00:17:15.980 generations from the beginning? I the Lord, Yah. And the first and I am with the last. 157 00:17:15.980 --> 00:17:25.180 Whoo. There's an interesting little insert there in the scripture, an announcement. I want to read 158 00:17:25.180 --> 00:17:34.540 it again. Isaiah 41 4. Who has performed it and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? 159 00:17:35.340 --> 00:17:47.660 I, the Lord, I, the salvation, I, Yah, am the first and with the last I am He. 160 00:17:49.020 --> 00:17:55.900 Interesting verbiage, right? It's powerful in English. It's stronger in the Hebrew language. 161 00:17:55.900 --> 00:18:02.300 But it doesn't matter who we're talking about here. Yahweh, we're talking about Jehovah. It's 162 00:18:02.300 --> 00:18:08.540 obvious. His name is even in the verse. Touchdown. Okay, right on. We're tracking. Let's turn 163 00:18:08.540 --> 00:18:16.060 to Isaiah 43 verse 10. By the way, the Isaiah 43 verse 10 is the theme verse for the Jehovah 164 00:18:16.060 --> 00:18:26.460 Witnesses, for the Watchtower Society. You are my witnesses, says Yah. And my servant whom I have 165 00:18:26.460 --> 00:18:35.100 chosen that you may know and believe and understand that I am He before me. There was no God formed 166 00:18:35.100 --> 00:18:42.060 nor shall there be after me. That's it. That is a definitive declaration of the nature of God. 167 00:18:42.060 --> 00:18:46.540 It doesn't mean that God was born and that God is going to die, that He was not and then He is 168 00:18:46.540 --> 00:18:52.700 and He is not. It means that speaking in human terms before anything was, I was there and when 169 00:18:52.700 --> 00:19:01.420 all else is dissolved and gone, I'm still there. He's speaking to us mortals in eternal terms. 170 00:19:02.300 --> 00:19:08.220 Point being, I am the Lord. Yah, I don't have a beginning and I don't have an ending. There's 171 00:19:08.220 --> 00:19:12.460 nobody before me. There's not going to be anybody after me. If I had an ending, there's nobody 172 00:19:12.460 --> 00:19:18.380 going to come after me. That's what he is announcing. We all agree on this dialogue at the doorstep. 173 00:19:19.340 --> 00:19:27.260 We're tracking. We're spot on. All right. Do we agree that the Bible is the word of God? 174 00:19:28.060 --> 00:19:34.780 And the cults will say to you, absolutely. So long as it's correctly interpreted, the Mormons will 175 00:19:34.780 --> 00:19:41.340 say, Ah, of course, we agree with you on that one. But we all agree on this that when the names 176 00:19:41.420 --> 00:19:47.900 of God are employed, it's talking about one God. Now the Mormons again might say, yeah, 177 00:19:47.900 --> 00:19:53.580 we're talking about Adam God, but they're thinking about one God. The Jehovah Witnesses will be 178 00:19:53.580 --> 00:20:01.500 thinking about one God and the Christian is certainly thinking about one God. And by the way, if you 179 00:20:01.500 --> 00:20:08.140 are a Muslim or a Jew, you need to be listening to this because even though the Muslim does not 180 00:20:08.140 --> 00:20:14.860 believe in the prophets of the Bible, they do claim to believe in one God. 181 00:20:16.860 --> 00:20:22.540 If you're Jewish right now, you certainly, I'm reading your scriptures up until this moment. 182 00:20:22.540 --> 00:20:29.980 And you would have to say, I gotcha. Okay, we're tracking with you Gentile, Christian. Okay. 183 00:20:31.100 --> 00:20:35.500 Let's take a deep breath and dive in for just a moment into the New Testament. I know for some 184 00:20:35.500 --> 00:20:40.300 of you, you can't go there, but your rabbi is nowhere around. Be brave. Be strong. 185 00:20:42.940 --> 00:20:50.220 Go to the book of Revelation chapter 1 verse 8 written by a Jew, by the way. And listen to what 186 00:20:50.220 --> 00:20:57.900 is recorded, quoting God speaking. I am the Alpha and the Omega. That's interesting because even though 187 00:20:57.980 --> 00:21:07.580 it's in Greek, it is a Hebrew citation of the one true God. The beginning and the end says the Lord. 188 00:21:09.020 --> 00:21:18.620 Who is? Who was? Who is to come? The Almighty. Revelation 1 8, question at the doorstep. 189 00:21:19.820 --> 00:21:27.100 Ask the guy, ask the gal, ask the people, who am I talking about? And they're going to say Jehovah God. 190 00:21:27.900 --> 00:21:37.660 And you're going to say, spot on. I agree. Revelation 4 8, still written by a Jew, Revelation 4 8. 191 00:21:38.380 --> 00:21:43.500 In the four living creatures, each having six wings, we're full of eyes around and within. And 192 00:21:43.500 --> 00:21:53.900 they do not rest day or night, saying holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty. Who was? Who is? Who is to 193 00:21:53.980 --> 00:22:04.620 come? Who am I talking about? We're all tracking. It's God. No doubt. Revelation 1 verse 11, Revelation 11. 194 00:22:07.020 --> 00:22:12.540 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, and what you see right in the book and send it 195 00:22:12.540 --> 00:22:19.260 to the seven churches. Book of Revelation chapter 1 verse 11, the point being, how many first and 196 00:22:19.260 --> 00:22:27.180 last do we have in the Bible? One. How many Alpha and Omega's do we have in the Bible? One. 197 00:22:29.020 --> 00:22:37.420 Revelation 21 verse 6, Revelation 21 verse 6. Again, the Jew was speaking to us. And he said to me, 198 00:22:38.060 --> 00:22:43.820 it's done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. So John is recording what he's 199 00:22:43.900 --> 00:22:53.420 hearing from whoever this individual is. This individual is saying, it's done. I am the Alpha and 200 00:22:53.420 --> 00:23:03.420 the Omega. Who is that? Gotta be honest. You can only have one. Whoever is, he's the beginning 201 00:23:03.420 --> 00:23:11.740 and the end. He holds time. In eternity, he possesses time. He's eternal, but he holds time 202 00:23:11.740 --> 00:23:18.380 between as it were, the span of his hand. That's this is the span of your hand. That's my broken 203 00:23:18.380 --> 00:23:24.860 finger. Here's my, this one's busted as you can see. So we'll do a accurate measurement between, 204 00:23:24.860 --> 00:23:31.100 between this finger and this finger is known as the span of the hand in the Bible. And God says, 205 00:23:31.100 --> 00:23:37.820 I hold everything material in the span of my hand. Who is that? 206 00:23:42.380 --> 00:23:48.780 Revelation 22 13, this one of my favorite verses, my goodness, everybody, listen up. Revelation 22 13, 207 00:23:48.780 --> 00:23:53.500 here, this is going to be a, this is going to be something. I'll tell you why right now. 208 00:23:53.500 --> 00:24:03.740 Some of you have some modern day translations based upon various publishers. In other words, 209 00:24:03.740 --> 00:24:08.620 you might have a 10-day Bible. You might have a New World Translation Bible. You might have a 210 00:24:08.620 --> 00:24:17.020 Zondervin Bible. You might have a Moody Bible. You may have a Bible by some other publisher. 211 00:24:17.660 --> 00:24:23.980 You're going to want to do some homework right now in the area of King James, New King James, 212 00:24:23.980 --> 00:24:35.180 ESV, and IV to mention a few regarding this upcoming verse. Why? Because some of the newer 213 00:24:35.980 --> 00:24:45.180 translations or publishers, which some of these companies are not even owned by Christians anymore, 214 00:24:47.580 --> 00:24:59.260 have chosen in recent decades to use some of the other later Greek manuscripts 215 00:24:59.980 --> 00:25:06.300 to literally remove this verse from the book of Revelation. Some of your Bibles, what I'm about to 216 00:25:06.300 --> 00:25:13.180 read, will not even contain the verse I'm about to give you. If you don't think there's a war 217 00:25:13.260 --> 00:25:26.460 on truth, you should know it now. By the way, the Dead Sea Scrolls, ancient writings, antiquity, 218 00:25:28.700 --> 00:25:40.860 the older you can go back, the more firm the truth is. The oldest is the most reliable. 219 00:25:40.940 --> 00:25:51.100 So watch this. Revelation 22 13. Who am I talking about? I am the Alpha and the Megas. Check 220 00:25:51.100 --> 00:25:56.620 we already established that. It's Jovo and there can only be one. True. The beginning and the end, 221 00:25:56.620 --> 00:26:05.420 same thing, the first and the last. Revelation 22 13 says, I am the Alpha and the Omega, 222 00:26:05.420 --> 00:26:09.580 the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Who am I talking about? 223 00:26:11.900 --> 00:26:17.100 Hey guys, listen, we're at the 26-minute mark. I'm looking at the producers here. Do I keep going? 224 00:26:17.100 --> 00:26:25.660 Do we say, pick us up next time? Because other sin, five, four, five more minutes on this. 225 00:26:25.820 --> 00:26:34.140 Question, person who knocked on my door? Who am I talking about? There's an overwhelming agreement 226 00:26:34.780 --> 00:26:39.100 that the individual knocking on your door will say, we're talking about God Almighty, the 227 00:26:40.860 --> 00:26:46.700 Yahweh, God, Jehovah God, because there's only one Alpha and Omega, there's only one beginning 228 00:26:46.700 --> 00:26:50.060 and the end, there's only one first and the last. And I'm going to say, I agree with you. 229 00:26:50.780 --> 00:27:00.940 There's last closing moments. Hang on tight. Here we go. Revelation 117, Revelation chapter 1, verse 17. 230 00:27:01.740 --> 00:27:09.900 And when I saw him, John said, I fell at his feet as dead. John just passed out, fell flat on his face. 231 00:27:10.460 --> 00:27:20.380 But he said, but he laid his right hand on me, saying to me, do not be afraid, I am the first 232 00:27:21.100 --> 00:27:39.500 and I am the last. Who is that? John said, I saw him and I went face down, like a dead man. 233 00:27:40.300 --> 00:27:50.220 He came to me and he touched me and said, don't be afraid. I am the first capital F and I am the 234 00:27:50.220 --> 00:27:56.060 last capital L. Who is this? You see, you have to stay consistent with this title because there's 235 00:27:56.060 --> 00:28:11.900 only one. There's not two. Revelation 1, verse 18, I am he who lives and was dead and behold, 236 00:28:12.860 --> 00:28:19.740 I'm alive forevermore. Amen. We're going to end right here. We'll pick it up next time 237 00:28:19.740 --> 00:28:25.820 together because let me tell you, we got a lot. Whoever the Alpha and the Omega is and the Old Testament, 238 00:28:27.020 --> 00:28:34.220 you can only have one. Whoever the first and the last is and the Old Testament, you can only have one. 239 00:28:35.180 --> 00:28:43.420 Whoever the one who is who was who is who is to come, you can only have one. Whoever the Almighty is, 240 00:28:43.420 --> 00:28:50.940 you can only have one. Whoever the Lord is, yeah, you can only have one. Are you tracking? You're 241 00:28:50.940 --> 00:29:01.420 tracking. I know you're tracking. You can only have one. Whoever this one is died and rose again from 242 00:29:01.420 --> 00:29:11.500 the dead. Revelation chapter 1, verses 17 and 18, say so. You say, well, it's a coincidence. Here's 243 00:29:11.580 --> 00:29:19.100 world end. Revelation chapter 2, verse 8. And do the angel of the church at Smyrna, right? Smyrna is 244 00:29:19.100 --> 00:29:29.900 in Turkey. It's an archaeological site today, but Smyrna still exists. These things says the first 245 00:29:29.900 --> 00:29:39.260 and the last who was dead and came to life. Oh my gosh. Listen, we're going to pick this up next 246 00:29:39.260 --> 00:29:43.500 time. I want you to grab everybody, you know, seriously. First of all, of course, you know what? 247 00:29:43.500 --> 00:29:47.500 You can really help us out. We don't need your money. I mean, we're not going to refuse it either. 248 00:29:47.500 --> 00:29:52.460 We're not stupid. If you want to send money to help us get this unbigger and more platforms and 249 00:29:52.460 --> 00:29:59.820 that helps, but where I'm not asking, get everybody you can. Get a small group together. Let's go 250 00:29:59.820 --> 00:30:06.300 through this together. Work this out where you guys can link in or connect or whatever. Share it 251 00:30:07.260 --> 00:30:13.100 because this, listen, by the time we come to the end of this, you can save someone's eternal destination. 252 00:30:13.980 --> 00:30:18.620 If you're a Mormon, tune in. If you are a Jova witness, oh my gosh, you've, you've got to ride 253 00:30:18.620 --> 00:30:24.380 this wave all the way to the shore. You got to tune in. Hey, listen, even if you hate everything 254 00:30:24.380 --> 00:30:29.020 I'm talking about, I'm going to ask you how come? I don't care if you hate me to get in line, 255 00:30:29.660 --> 00:30:34.540 but why would you hate the Bible that you claim to believe it? 256 00:30:37.580 --> 00:30:45.820 And so I'm asking you to share this. I'm asking you to subscribe, like it, pass it along. 257 00:30:47.100 --> 00:30:52.860 You can share this with more people. You can always make sure. In fact, you'll hear from the young 258 00:30:52.860 --> 00:30:58.060 lady in the clothes out what you can do. But this is life changing stuff we're talking about right 259 00:30:58.060 --> 00:31:06.060 here right now. So that's why we say it's time for you and I to live out what we believe in. 260 00:31:06.940 --> 00:31:14.860 It's time for real life. He's the one, only one. There's not another. There'll never be another. 261 00:31:14.860 --> 00:31:23.100 He is the Lord God eternal Yahweh who came to earth, took on skin. We'll see this in the next 262 00:31:23.100 --> 00:31:30.300 few podcast, died and rose again from the dead. The first and the last died. The alpha and the 263 00:31:30.300 --> 00:31:39.420 omega died. The one who was who is who is to come died. The almighty died and rose again. And he 264 00:31:39.420 --> 00:31:49.420 lives forever more. This Jack Kibb's podcast as well as all the broadcasts outreach opportunities 265 00:31:49.420 --> 00:31:54.060 are listener supported.
