Restoration Mystery Revealed Part 2: full transcript and answers

▶ 0:00 Give me a chance to pull this together. Now, here’s the hidden mysteries made plain. You ready? Here we are. I want to show you how you can understand the Bible. Ready? Romans 16:25. The preaching of Jesus Christ according to the Revelation of the what? Mystery. And what’s a mystery? It’s a hidden promise, a hidden purpose which was kept secret since what? The world began. You see, the Bible was written in parables. It was written in uh metaphors. It was written in symbols and shadows. And the natural man cannot go to that Bible and understand it. The Bible says that the spirit is what opens our understanding.

▶ 0:54 Are you there? See, that’s why you can go to college and study the Bible and never get anything out. In fact, what you get out of it is just ridiculous because there’s no professor can teach you the truths of the Bible. No secular professor. Only the spirit can open up that book to you. And teachers who are connected to that spirit can open that book up to you. And they can’t open up anything even though they know it. They can only teach it to you. God has to open it up to you. And he opens it up little by little, line up on line, precept on. He does it when you get the the right level one and start applying it. Then he goes to the next level. Ain’t that beautiful? Now, but now it’s made plain by the scriptures of the prophets.

▶ 1:53 See, when Jesus came, when the Holy Spirit came and the apostles went out and preached in those last days, the mystery is solved. 1 Corinthians 2:7, we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before what? The world unto our glory, our honor, which none of the princes, the civil, the spiritual, the temple leaders in in Jerusalem and and the temple of God, they didn’t understand who Jesus was. And they the scribes didn’t understand the the men who studied the scriptures that that was their job. They studied it for I forget how many years before they could be called a scribe. It’s quite a few years. They didn’t understand. Do you understand?

▶ 2:46 They didn’t understand. You see, civil leaders, spiritual leaders of this world knew, none of them knew or they would not have what? Crucified the Lord of glory. They wouldn’t have crucified God. They didn’t understand he was God. Are you there? And a lot of so-called Christians today in America don’t really understand what they’re saying when they say it’s okay to do things that the Bible says you can’t do. They don’t understand the mystery hidden from the foundation of the world because it is in there in parables, in metaphors, in symbols. And illustrations.

▶ 3:38 It’s not in there in plain English except a few scriptures like love your neighbor as yourself. Any idiot can figure that one out. Right. Yeah. Now watch this. Luke 4:11. Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to them without. All these things are done in parables. Them without what? What are they without? Is this what you do when you read the scriptures? What’s this without stuff? Well, it’s very simple. Those without the kingdom, those outside the kingdom can’t understand it. Now you understand it, huh?

▶ 4:36 See, they can’t understand the scriptures. All these things are done in what? Parables. That seeing they may see and not perceive. That hearing they may hear and not understand. Now watch this. Least at any time they be converted or they repent and their sins be forgiven. What has to preede sin’s forgiveness? Faith. What has to proceed? What comes before your sins being forgiven? Repent. Turning. The murderer can believe all he wants, but if he doesn’t stop murdering, he is not forgiven.

▶ 5:37 I’m going to back this up again later. We got way too much emphasis on faith, but faith without works is what? Dead. It abides alone. And that kind of faith can’t save people. See, so these people can’t see. They don’t understand. And this is Jesus talking. When he talked, they didn’t understand Jesus. They got mad at him. They wanted to kill him. Why? Because they weren’t in the kingdom. See, they were without the kingdom. Are you got it? Now watch. This is very important. In John 3:3 it says, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” So, how do I get into the kingdom? I got to be born again.

▶ 6:30 He goes on in the next verse and says, “Except the man be born of water and the spirit, he cannot see the kingdom.” Okay, what does it say up here? That they may see and not perceive. They don’t get it. Why? Because they haven’t been born again. They haven’t entered the kingdom where the King Jesus is, who reveals these things. And why haven’t they entered it? They’re not repenting of their sin. They’re not changing their thinking. You guys are looking at me like I’m nuts. See this is very important for you to understand. God has to be involved in our salvation.

▶ 7:24 It cannot be a little putting your signature on a church membership role. God has to come and work a work within you. How many of you experienced that? Oh yeah. It’s beautiful. It’s beautiful. Now, so those of us in the kingdom can what? Understand we’re not going to get all of it in one night. It’s going to be little by little as we seek him, as we study. As we get into Bible studies, the spirit will begin to open our understanding on our level. I’m going to say quite a few things today that you’re going to scratch your head at, but there’s going to be a few things you’re going to go, “Yeah.” Why?

▶ 8:15 Because you’re at a different level. And God knows how to hit us in our level. John 6:44, “No man, how many men? No man can come to me, Jesus said, except the father draw him.” I told you God has got to be involved in this thing. And that’s why a lot of these churches are dead in a door. They got God out and they got their own philosophy, their own little system. And they don’t let God save people, birth people, and teach people. And so we got churches that have multitudes in them and all of them are ignorant of the scriptures or are a big percentage. Hallelujah.

▶ 9:11 He also says in John 6:64, same chapter, some of you believe not. This is why I say to you, no man can come to me except it were given to him of my father. And the word given there is like wages. How many like your check at the end of the week? Yes. You see, see, we understand that thing. Yeah. The check. See, it’s given. What’s given to us? The kingdom. The opening of the understanding. You can have Greek and Hebrew all you want until God opened your understanding. You’re not going to get it just like the Jews didn’t, the Pharisees, and the scribes. Because they wouldn’t accept Jesus’s basic message of repentance. That’s the key to get into the kingdom, letting Christ birth you by his spirit, cause you to turn Now Romans 2:28, he is not a Jew.

▶ 10:18 Now where does a Jew come from? Judah. Okay. He is not a Jew which is one outwardly. See the New Testament understood all this. The writers neither is circumcision which is outward in the flesh. Circumcision even back there God could care the least about circumcision. It was a shadow of things to come. But he is a Jew which is one what? Inwardly. And he’s going to speak comforting words and good words to the Jews. Remember in Hagi. Yeah. All right. I’m going to have mercy on Judah. I’m going to speak comforting and good words to them. You see, that’s us because we’ve been born again.

▶ 11:09 We’re Jews inwardly and circumcision of the heart. Our heart, our mind. The heart means the mind and the emotions. We’re sensitive. We responded to God in the spirit. You see, the spirit’s got to be involved. And not in the letter. Whose praise is not of men, but of God. Now, just to give you an illustration, I’ve talked to a lot of Mormons, and really, they’re just trying to defend their Mormon church. They want their Mormon leaders to honor them for going out two years and doortodoor and all that. And they do whatever it takes, just like the Apostle Paul did. You remember the Apostle Paul? He arose in leadership in the Pharisee group because he was trying to please the Pharisee leaders.

▶ 12:09 Then he met Jesus on the road to Damascus. And he wasn’t out to please church leaders anymore, religious leaders. He was out to please who? Jesus Christ. This is exactly what Romans is telling us. You see, praise is not of men but of who? God. What I believe, how I behave, is it pleasing to God. All right? So, the Jew is who? Us, the church. Now, see, Hagi comes alive. Zachchariah comes alive. Now, we understand he’s talking about the church in the last days, his people. And this is what he’s going to do. How many of you have messed up after you became a Christian? Yes. What did he promise to do? Restore you when you mess up. Hebrews 12:22.

▶ 13:00 Love this. Love this. Love this. This really just broadened my understanding the minute the Holy Ghost opened this verse up to me. Talking to the church. Okay. At that time, you the church, the believers have not come to Mount Zion. Now over in Hagi, he’s talking about Zion, isn’t he? You have come to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. Over in Hagi and Zechariah, he used the word what? Jerusalem, Zion, Jerusalem, Judah. To an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly, and the church of the firstborn. Who’s the church of the firstborn? Who’s the firstborn? Who’s the only born?

▶ 13:52 Jesus. I was telling some people last night, the Mormons believe that Satan is Jesus’s brother, but the Bible plainly says that Jesus is the only begotten son of God. There is no other son. Amen. Amen. And have you know, angels don’t make mistakes when they come to give you Revelation. Yeah. Something was wrong with that Moroni angel. You know, something was really wrong. That’s not the only mistake that angel made. And and and the Mormons have to live up to that that thing, you know. Are they just trying to please their leaders? See, or they’re trying to please God. And when you try to please God, you people are going to separate from your company. You try to pre please people, the crowd, they’re going to embrace you because you’re doing what they tell you to do.

▶ 14:49 All right? Who are registered in heaven. How many have their names written in the book of life? Yeah. See, this is us. See, to God the judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus Christ, the mediator of the new covenant. Amen. So, we are listed as what? Zion, heavenly Jerusalem, the church. The names in the book of life. That’s us. Do you get it? And see, when you read the Old Testament, he’s talking about Zion. Now, you know, he’s not really talking about that mountain. And when he’s talking about Jerusalem, he’s not talking about that natural Jerusalem when he is predicting and prophesying the future.

▶ 15:45 Isaiah 51:11. See, they knew it back then. This isn’t a new thing. The prophets knew it back then. And anyone that sought the scriptures would know this, too. Isaiah 51:11. Therefore, the redeemed of the Lord shall return and come with singing unto what? Dying. And everlasting joy shall be upon their head, and they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow, and mourning shall flee away. See, now you know who that promise is to. It’s to you. Let me show you a little picture. Here’s Jerusalem. Okay. Over in Judah, it’s over there today. All right. Here’s the temple area back in those days. Now, the Dome of the Rocks or the mosque is there on the Dome of the Rock. Now, here’s Gethsemane where Jesus prayed and so forth. And uh the uh crucifixion was outside the the city.

▶ 16:42 And right here is Mount Zion in red. That’s Mount Zion. See, therefore, the redeemed of the Lord shall return and come with singing to this mountain. We got a whole earth up here filled with 7 billion people. Now, logic tells you God isn’t talking about this little mountain, is he? And the prophets No. Used it as a symbol, as an illustration. He isn’t talking about this little city of Jerusalem that everybody’s fighting over and wants because it got so hit such historical things. And they they they leave the very God for a natural city. They leave a beautiful God is what I’m trying to say. They’ll worship that city.

▶ 17:34 Americans will go over there and spend fortunes going to the tomb and getting rebaptized in the River Jordan, all that nonsense and go, “Oh, boy. Wow, boy.” Listen, that is so stupid. You know, most of the world will never fly an airplane. They’ll never fly. They don’t own a car. They’ll never get to Jerusalem. You think God doesn’t care about those people in China and Mongolia and Asia and Africa who are so poor they will never experience any of that. He cares for them. He’s talking about the church. And did you know that over 50% of Jews in Jerusalem today and in America are atheists? Did you know that? This is taken right out of uh USA Today March this year.

▶ 18:32 They are publicly proclaimed atheists. They don’t even believe in God. See, they’re Jews by bloodline. They think they’re Jews because they got the bloodline in them. Then they don’t believe in God. What’s my point? My point is he’s not talking about natural Jews. He’s not talking about a natural city. And he’s not talking about a natural mountain. He is talking about the church that he was going to build and he was going to comfort. And he was going to go to and he was going to restore. When we fall down, he’s going to pick us up. He’s going to make us the light of the world. He’s going to make us victorious more than conquerors in this life. He’s going to do it. So he uses these illustrations to teach us that. I love it. Joel chapter 2:32.

▶ 19:25 Look how powerful this is. Now you know the church in Jerusalem is I mean the Yeah. And uh Zion is synonymous. It shall come to pass that whosoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be what? Saved. Not just believe. They’ll be what? Saved. Delivered. Saved mean delivered. Rescued. Believing. And it doesn’t help my wife any. If I’m still beating her up, going out on her and spending the money of the house on drugs and gambling and whatever, it doesn’t help her at all. Believing doesn’t help. Deliverance is what helps. I’m delivered from those actions, those behaviors, that thinking. And he goes on, for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be what?

▶ 20:17 Deliverance as the Lord has said among the remnant whom the Lord calls. Do you remember who the remnant is? Revelations 12, the last verse. Who is the remnant? Testimony of Jesus. You got to know this stuff, church. It’s not the remainder. It’s a special remainder. Remember the woman was clothed, you know, and white and she had these stars on her head and what’s the woman always referred to in the scripture as the church. And this woman produced the manchild. What did Paul say? I travail and prayer and birth and and and prayer until Christ be formed in you.

▶ 21:11 Be birthed in you. See the remnant are the area of the believers of the church that have the testimony of Jesus. What is the testimony of Jesus by the way? Prayer of prophecy. Yes. That have the testimony of Jesus. The spirit of prophecy, edification, exhortation, and comfort to people when they come in and they keep his commandments. That’s the remnant. The others are just believers. How many want to be the remnant? It takes time. You want to grow to that place. You want to possess these things. All right. Hallelujah. Zion is what? To church. Jerusalem is the church.

▶ 22:02 Yeah. Judah is the yeah. The church. The real Jew inwardly circumcised of the mind and and emotions by morality results in deliverance. He directs us Psalm 65. Praise waits for you, oh God, in Zion. Okay, what does that mean? In Zion, people are praising God for him to show up like he said he would do. Sing praises to the Lord which dwells where. That didn’t Jesus say where two or three are gathered together I will be in the midst. Are we looking for him? Are we looking for some anointed preacher some anointed music group or are we looking for him? Declare among the people his doings.

▶ 22:53 This is why prophecy is so important. We’re declaring truths of God that God can use to draw people to him. You see, there’s two things that will draw people to Christ. The presence and the living word. See, the living word will drive the phonies away, just like when Jesus was here. But the living word will draw the ones that are really wanting God to him. Psalms 102:21 I mean uh 22:3 you are holy oh you that inhabits dwells among the what. Praises of Israel. See the church is to be a praising church. Hebrews 15 says by him therefore let us bring the sacrifice of praise see the fruit of our lips continually.

▶ 23:48 See we don’t offer these natural sacrifices anymore. We offer the fruit of our lips thanking him, proclaiming his greatness, the greatness of his name. Why do we have people lead out in prayer and and and stuff like that? Because they’re declaring hopefully some great work that God has done in their life or something they’ve seen or whatever. We want to promote Christ. See, the Bible says you can pray with the spirit and you can pray with the understanding. It edifies and it deals. Okay? Okay. And we do this in Zion and Jerusalem, which is what? The church. Romans 9:32, “It is written, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone, a rock of offense, and whosoever believes on him shall not be what? Ashamed.” Most people in America are ashamed to publicly praise and worship and proclaim the name of the Lord.

▶ 24:52 This Jesus that we talk about being so powerful, so great, we’re ashamed to publicly make any display of his greatness. And this is why the American church is weak because his praise brings his presence. See here,. He lives in the praises. That’s one of the things that brings his presence. Us coming together brings his presence. Us praying to him and and calling on the name of Jesus brings his presence. And when people come in, they need to what? Experience the living word and the living presence. And the presence and the word can change people from the inside out that humans cannot do. Pastors can’t do it.

▶ 25:42 I don’t care how many theatrics I can do. You shakamulas and the and all the rest theatrics doesn’t mean a thing. It’s a inward work in our spirit that God does by the living word and the presence of God. And that’s the way we’re going to keep changing is that presence and the word. We’re going to keep changing. And when people come in, they’ll change. Now, is it clear? These things are hidden, but now they’re clear. Now when you read the Old Testament, you’re going to get good goodies out of it. Jewels. Hagi and Zechariah through the spirit of God told us what was going to happen in the last days.

▶ 26:34 And we are 2,000 years into these last days. And we see all of these things were fulfilled. Ain’t that correct? We read the New Testament, we see. So what we got to do is we got to appropriate it to oursel. We got to quit trying to please men and we got to decide to please God and realize he accepts us exactly where we’re at to improve us and move us up till we come into his likeness and his image. Able to speak the word of God clearly.
