▶ 20:20 Word God’s word is so important the Bible says that his word is above his name the word of God is powerful amen let’s listen and open our hearts and ears we’re going to continue in Ecclesiastes 1 9 what has been done will be done again. What has been will be again. And there is nothing new under the sun is this true can the Bible state that kind of statement and back it up we. Showed you four keys to understanding the Old Testament and the New Testament. The first key was the Old Testament was written for our example first Corinthians 10:11 says written for our warning and our learning upon whom the end of the ages has come so God had that whole Old Testament written for us under the New Testament covenant in ii Timothy 3:16 all scripture was inspired by God okay.

▶ 21:31 And it is profitable for correction re-proof instruction in righteousness. The perfecting of his saints the maturing. And fully equipping. The men of God the people of God the second key is. All the sacrifices. In the Old Testament the sabbaths the Saturday Sabbath the feast and the tabernacle itself. Are examples and shadows of good things to come and the tabernacle per specifically. Is a shadow of heavenly things so these people that say the Old Testament is not for us that were not under law were under grace they don’t understand that Paul was talking about the shadow laws we’re not under Christ fulfilled the shadow laws we don’t sacrifice animals anymore burn incense worry about wearing a uh.

▶ 22:40 Linen and wool together and and not eating catfish and so forth those were all shadows. Of good things to come good things to come the tree of knowledge of good and evil good things to come amen. So. That’s found in Colossians 2:16 in Hebrews 8 and 10. Also in Romans 16:25 Christ is a mystery kept secret. From the beginning of the world from the very beginning Christ all the way to Malachi was in those scriptures. But it was hidden. But now the Bible says they’re revealed to us through the prophets and so Jesus himself said in Matthew 13:35 I will speak things kept secret.

▶ 23:41 From the foundation of the world. And remember we were redeemed before the foundation of the world Christ didn’t die until 2000 years ago but before God created anything he redeemed his people Jesus is hidden in the Old Testament scriptures and we have the scriptures open to us now to understand. These things about Jesus Christ I have been on facebook for over a year and a half now and these verses are beginning to get converts. I’ve been talking to people I have over five almost 5 000 people on my personal page I have almost a thousand on a group that I started called truth and I’m in 30 different other groups okay I am reaching a potential of a million people every day.

▶ 24:43 All right and they’re starting to convert over they’re starting to understand the shadow laws at first they go what’s the shadow law stuff. But as we keep conversing they’re starting to get it and now they are talking about shadow laws amen hallelujah they are talking about how the Old Testament is for us today hallelujah people are learning and people are wanting to learn and when you get key people learning they pass it on to multitudes of other people and if you out there on on facebook that are watching us if you want to contribute to this church reaching people just go to go to mountainside.com. And you will see a place there where you can give your tithes if you’re getting fed by the messages here.

▶ 25:36 The Bible emphasizes to give your tithes where you’re getting fed from not just any group you know. It’s it’s where the food is and if you would like to be a part in any way that you can be a part being at home we invite you to go to mountainside.com and tell us you want to be involved or call 951. Fund church. Amen this pandemic does not have to stop us from reaching both believers and unbelievers amen. And we thank all of you on facebook for joining with us even on Tuesday night there’s a lot of you joining in and the youth service on Tuesday night and we appreciate joining with you with the word of God and serving and ministering to the Lord Jesus Christ so with those four keys we’re going to go to the judgment of the flood in Genesis chapter 6.

▶ 26:41 The flood judgment we’re going to look at it sequentially. People before the flood live 900 plus years people after the flood were given 120 years and then later God reduced it to 80 years and today no one is living 120 years if our opponents could find people living over 120 years. And consider you know they could say the Bible is a lie but the opposite is also true God put a limit on the average age of 80 years and that’s what it is can I hear an amen that is another proof that the Bible is true. Now before the flood they ate plants.

▶ 27:35 After the flood they ate meat and plants. Before the flood there was no rain they never saw rain before. Let alone a flood so when Noah was preaching there was going to be a flood and there was going to be rain. They couldn’t believe it they didn’t know what rain was. But after the flood they had rain and a rainbow signifying God would never flow flood the earth again again if our opponents. Were right when they predicted back there in the 90s that the polar caps were going to melt and flood the earth. Al gore was one of the big promoters of that by 2013 there it’s going to be flooded. All kinds of things Americans were going to be migrating to mexico and all this stuff never happened why because the rainbow folks the real rainbow said the earth would never be flooded again amen that is more proof that the Bible is a supernatural written book.

▶ 28:46 Also before the flood they were corrupt they were evil they hurt one another they were violent. After the flood they were corrupt they were evil they were violent. That didn’t change and it hasn’t changed today. Before the flood God judged he judged Adam and Eve. Killed the first animal and covered them with their sins with the skins of the animal signifying that Jesus would come and die for the sins of the world Adam and Eve believed it received it were forgiven were reconciled back to God and you never see anywhere in the Bible recorded where Adam and Eve sinned against God again amen signifying that we may mess up but we can be reconciled. And forgiven and cleansed from sin by the blood of Jesus Christ amen the blood of Jesus is powerful that cross is powerful his death is powerful.

▶ 29:51 But after the flood God said now mankind will judge mankind. If a man kills another man that man blood shall be shed for shedding other blood and people are always saying in news and papers and magazines and all this that if there was a God why is he allowed all this evil in the world he gave us the responsibility to deal with evil people and were not dealing with them he gave mankind the responsibility to stand up for justice and stand against injustice and we are not doing it don’t blame father God blame mankind who he enabled and gave the responsibility to take care of evil can I hear an amen hallelujah.

▶ 30:44 So. There were eight. That were saved and went in to the ark okay eight people were saved and went into the ark folks you got to remember methuselah was alive the year of the flood the oldest man was alive the year of the flood he didn’t get in. He didn’t find grace in the eyes of the Lord Noah did in his family. Are you there. Didn’t Jesus say in the parable of the ten virgins that the door would be shut. Wasn’t there one door to the ark in there one door to the kingdom Jesus Christ is the door guess who shut the door of the ark God himself.

▶ 31:40 Guess who was in the ark God himself God said Noah come into the ark. He was inside the ark telling Noah to come in and God shut the door he wasn’t outside the ark saying Noah go into the ark are you there that stuff is important hallelujah. And it’s the same way with. The kingdom of God there’s one gate one door and that is Jesus Christ hallelujah you’ve got to be born again born of the spirit you’ve got to confess your sin repent and turn from those sin to get into the kingdom. Hallelujah. And we’ll talk about that a little more eight were saved at the ark methuselah missed it there were five virgins that the door was shut when the bridegroom came in Jesus’s parable of the bridegroom the door was shut there is a time coming when the door will be shut.

▶ 32:45 I highly recommend just humbling yourself going to Jesus now and entering his kingdom amen yes give God a clap offering yes. Now let’s look at the fire judgment almost all of you know Ecclesiastes is going to be right because we’ve heard on radio and tv and read books about the last day judgment if the earth is going to be destroyed by fire everything is going to be destroyed by fire. Everybody’s heard that message I’m sure so we’ll go to the Old Testament. Isaiah 34:4 the stars of heaven shall be dissolved the skies shall roll up like a scroll all their stars shall fall all right in Joel chapter 2 verse 30 I will show wonders in the heavens and earth blood fire pillars of smoke the sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood now you think science can figure that one out the moon gets its light from the sun the sun is dark yet the moon is blood isn’t that going to be a nice time to be and watch these scientific people try to figure this supernatural stuff out.

▶ 34:03 Are you out there hallelujah. The sun can’t shine. I mean the moon can’t shine without the sun reflecting off of it yet supernaturally it’s going to happen hallelujah. And. This will happen before the great and terrible day of the Lord before Christ comes there is a season. Of. Of catastrophic things happening in the earth before Jesus comes back and then Jesus himself said that men are going to be perplexed. There can’t figure out why the seas are raging and rolling roaring why the mountains and the islands are being moved why the sun is going out and the moons turn to blood and the stars are falling they can’t figure this stuff out they’re perplexed they don’t have an answer wouldn’t that be a day to live there hallelujah oh that last generation that’s alive they got something great to look forward to besides this mythical rapture.

▶ 35:18 Hallelujah they got something tremendous to look forward to now we also go to the New Testament ii Peter chapter 3 verse 7. The present heavens and earth are reserved for fire. The day of the Lord shall come as a thief in the night the heaven shall pass away with a great noise none of this secret stuff everybody’s going to hear it everybody’s going to see it amen doesn’t matter what side of the earth you’re on when God’s doing this thing everybody’s involved. Isn’t that powerful. Hallelujah. The elements will melt with a fervent heat the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up that house that you’re so in love with swoosh gone.

▶ 36:18 That Rolls-Royce is a shadow of that corvette shoots gone. Your little dog that you’re so in love with poof gone. And the earth is going to be burnt up that means. It’s burnt up folks. You can’t have a new earth. Unless the old earth is gone. He isn’t rebuilding the old earth he is creating a new earth are you with me this is supernatural stuff going on before Christ comes. And so we know this far judgment is coming so let’s compare. The two judgments.

▶ 37:10 All right they live 900 before the flood 80 years after the flood that’s what we’re in now but in that. Next age we live forever. Eternal life we don’t die we’re given an immortal body. No blood in it or anything we don’t decay we live forever. They ate plants and then meat and plants we don’t need food we don’t need oxygen we don’t need water. All right and we don’t need the sun shining so plants can grow and all that. Jesus Christ the son of God the Bible says is the light of the new heaven and earth amen powerful.

▶ 38:03 Powerful promises of God and so Ecclesiastes is right God once destroyed all of mankind and the earth and he’s going to do it again. Nothing new under the sun what happened before will happen again. God is going to take our ashes the Bible says that we doth we came from and thus we shall return when you die you go to they say about seven pounds of dust if I remember right or something like that. Well God’s going to take those dust particles wherever they’re at if you got thrown in the sea or wherever you got thrown throughout the sierra mountains you when you had yourself cremated and all that God’s going to pick all those particles back up and make an immortal body a brand new immortal he’s not rebuilding the old body he is making a brand new immortal body that doesn’t decay and lives forever amen no blood.

▶ 39:11 Don’t need food over there. Hallelujah. All right they had no rain and then a rain and a rainbow. We are getting a new heaven and earth the old one is burnt up as I emphasized before he’s not rebuilding the heavens he’s not rebuilding the earth he’s not restoring the earth and the heavens he is burning up this globe and making a brand new earth and we don’t know if it’s round square flat or whatever all we care about is we got a new heaven and a new earth and king Jesus is the king for eternity in that new heaven and new earth amen brand new I make all things new not new all things I make all things new not what knew all things he’s not in a rebuilding process he is in a new building process hallelujah.

▶ 40:19 Amen. New heaven new earth wow. They were corrupt before the flood and after the flood but the Bible says in the new heaven and the new earth wherein righteousness dwells there’s only righteousness in this new heaven and new earth there’s no pain the Bible says there’s no crying no sorrow no sickness no diseases over there we have an immortal. Body. Hallelujah. No one’s mistreating anyone over there there’s nothing to cry about over there there’s nothing to be said about over there. It’s totally new amen. Hallelujah. And just good the tree of knowledge has come to its flourishing of reward the tree of knowledge of good and evil the new heaven and earth is where goodness dwells.

▶ 41:20 Hallelujah. Because of the blood of Christ because God himself came and died for us. Then we saw that God judged before the flood. God gave man the responsibility of judging after the flood other men but Jesus is the judge. Just. Before he comes and as he comes. And we’re all going to stand before the judgment seat of Christ every one of us some of us don’t want to believe that. That Christians are going to stand before the judgment seat how are you going to be pronounced innocent if you don’t stand before the judge and he pronounces you innocent hallelujah. What they do is they want to stay in their sin and God is not going to judge them for their sin because Christians.

▶ 42:20 They say don’t stand before the judgment seat but the Bible is very clear we all want stand before the judgment seat of Christ and we’re judged not by our faith. Not by our belief. But by our behavior. The tree of knowledge of good and evil did we behave good or did we behave evil did we speak good or did we speak evil didn’t Jesus say you’ll be held accountable for every idol word yeah. Hallelujah. So we get to stand before that judgment seat and hear Jesus say innocent. The new heaven and earth for this guy amen.

▶ 43:13 And the sinner guilty. The lake of fire for that guy. And remember he is a just judge. You see he isn’t moved by your emotional appeals he isn’t moved by anything but truth and right amen. Hallelujah are judges today they follow their emotions they follow their ideas. Jesus the judge follows the father’s laws. And righteousness and justice amen. So. Eight were saved by the ark. They had to enter the ark to be saved. In Revelations chapter 7 says there’s an innumerable.

▶ 44:09 Company of people saved out of the great tribulation I wish these tribulation people will read this Bible as it says these people that can’t be numbered we’re saved out of the great tribulation by the blood of the lamb not by grace. Not by faith but by what the blood of the lamb. There is a large harvest I hear all the time that narrow is the road and wide is the gate that leadeth to destruction and many fall therein there’s only a few on the straight and narrow well when you go to Revelation. That few can’t be counted. But that was good church.

▶ 45:03 That was really good. You must be thinking about that. You know they’re acting like they’re the only ones going to go and everybody else isn’t following the straight and narrow listen God’s blood is so powerful and he has so many ways of bringing you to himself and we see in Revelations they cannot be counted. Hallelujah. Aren’t you glad that his blood is that powerful yes hallelujah you know almost every church thinks they’re the one they’re the only ones going to heaven. Almost every church group that that’s true they think they’re the only ones going to make it in well you go to Revelation 7 and folks a lot of people are making it in even people that never heard the gospel are making it in. Jesus went and preached to the people in the flood do you remember.

▶ 45:57 Those people that he judged back there and killed them in the physical body he came to their spirits in prison where they were held and he preached the gospel to them they had a second chance is God a second chance God even after we die if we’ve never heard the gospel Romans chapter 2 says they that have never heard the word of God the laws of God yet by their conscience they they follow the laws they will be judged righteous by keeping the law that they never heard amen they follow their kind God is the God of the second chance and he didn’t die on that cross for just a puny little group of Christians uh that think they are the elite of the elect he died for everyone and he’s bringing them in hallelujah.

▶ 46:54 The communist party can’t stop them in in china. God’s bringing them in. Hallelujah. Powerful when this earth is burnt up these self-proclaimed prophets say the nuclear bombs are going to be the source of destroying the earth there’s no way nuclear bombs can destroy the earth. And it can’t destroy the heavens. God supernaturally will destroy the earth and he supernaturally will burn up the heavens and the earth can I hear an amen. You know when self-appointed prophets. They use a lot of natural. Knowledge to back up their prophetic prophecy God doesn’t need natural knowledge.

▶ 47:49 He. Is the one that writes the news he is the one that creates the knowledge he created the earth we got knowledge of it who is greater the creator or the ones that learn about it yeah the one that created it. And as I told you before Jesus is coming is going to be preceded. By a troublesome period of time. Now they didn’t believe Noah preaching righteousness in Noah’s day. There’s people that are not going to believe the preaching of righteousness today. Preaching of righteousness not faith not grace preaching of what righteousness it’s all about that tree of knowledge of good and evil and you choosing good over evil amen.

▶ 48:43 Hallelujah. So. There there is people even if the when Christ starts this troubleless times and starts showing his power. There’s people that just want to accept it. You remember Noah’s I mean uh lot’s. Uh. Girls husbands and their his daughters laughed at a lot when he said that sodom is going to be burnt with fire they laughed they mocked and we have the same thing going on today there are people that just won’t hear they won’t listen. I dealt with a guy this week on. On a site called Jews muslims and Christians. And he says show me in the Old Testament where someone human sacrifice is going to be offered for sin so I took him to Isaiah 52 and 53.

▶ 49:48 And I told him before I took him there you’re not going to listen to it you’re going to twist it like you always do to your point of view and it’s very plain there that he died for the transgressions of us all okay talking about Jesus coming you know the scriptures. So when I gave him the scripture he says these are past tense it’s written in the past tense I said I I said I told you that you wouldn’t listen that you would turn it to your own opinion you I said you need to call on Jesus and you have a right to reject Jesus this is what I told him everybody when Jesus was here had a right a choice to reject him but they also got to be accountable when they stand before him I said you’re gonna you gotta you know what you believe if you want to that’s fine but you’re gonna be accountable to Jesus Christ on the day of judgment isn’t that a fact yeah hallelujah and he hadn’t kicked me out yet he’s still talking with me hallelujah.

▶ 50:49 And I I showed him how God killed the first animal he just can’t grasp it his mind is so secular he can’t grasp it. But he keeps conversing with me and hell you know that word won’t return void amen the word won’t return void not the one given the word the word is alive the word is convicting the word is powerful then he’s sharpened in any two-edged sword and if you just keep sharing the word the word will do the work amen. Now. They didn’t believe. The first coming of Jesus. They were looking for a king a prophet a priest and a messiah Jesus was all for but they had their little first coming diagram all written out they had all their doctrines written out and Jesus came and he didn’t line up to any other preconceived.

▶ 51:53 Doctrines and grafts and all this stuff. That they thought is how he would come see he didn’t come to be a natural king over a natural kingdom and deliver Israel’s natural enemies he came to be a king over a spiritual kingdom amen and deliver us from the power of darkness yes amen so the Jews missed it and I submit to you today these people that are self-appointed end-time prophets are really missing the boat. If they miss the first time we can miss easily the second time can’t we and a lot of things Jesus you know as Jesus said I’m going to speak to you things that are kept secret there could be things kept secret from us until that time period comes couldn’t there be yes.

▶ 52:52 Hallelujah don’t get hyped up about Jesus coming at any minute the times of the Gentiles isn’t over yet he can’t come to the end till the end of the times of the Gentiles in south America in africa and south pacific asia millions are coming to Christ there’s a big harvest down there the Gentile door is still open how can he come until the door is shut to the Gentiles are you hearing me touch I challenge all of you out there. Read Jesus. About his definition of what happens at the end time quit trying to link Daniel and Revelations together Jesus said I’m going to speak to you things that have been hidden since the beginning of time and he spoke very clearly about his second coming period can I hear an amen.

▶ 53:47 But we hear this stuff so much we believe it because we just hear it every every preacher saying it so we just believe it he can come any minute he can’t come any minute the church is not victorious the church is not glorious the church is not overcoming the gates of hell. Those scriptures have to be fulfilled he said he’s going to present to himself a glorious church without spot or wrinkle or any such thing and look at us we’re so divided we got so much sin in the church he is going to do a miraculous work folks a powerful work that the world will see in the church amen hallelujah. The miracles that Jesus did when he was here as the musicians come.

▶ 54:40 They said he did by Beelzebub. There is coming a period on earth where the scripture will be fulfilled the gospel will be preached as a witness to all nations. All nations were not even discovered until the 1800s. Are you there yet people were predicting the second coming of Christ before that and yet we hadn’t even discovered all the different races and all the different people yet. Knowledge shall increase people didn’t even know that was one of the signs of the second coming is knowledge increasing is knowledge increasing rapidly in our generation absolutely God predicted it thousands of years ago two signs. The nations are discovered.

▶ 55:35 Knowledge increasing and the third sign is the Jews going back to their homeland we are in the beginning of the end we don’t know how long it will be we don’t have no details but we got three major clues the Jews back to their homeland knowledge increasing. Amen and the nations were all discovered and we took our missionaries to those nations and preached the gospel but not with signs and wonders not with signs following not as a witness yet that’s got to be done can I hear an amen. This Jesus is powerful. We’re going to sing a song kneel at the cross.

▶ 56:28 Christ will meet you there. Come while he waits for you. Folks. Jesus is the way to get into the kingdom. The Bible says his kingdom is not in speech but in power. You don’t have to wait. For the earth the new earth and new heaven to become a new creature. Made new you can become a new creature now he has the power to take you from a sinful selfish life to a righteous good life for him if any man be in Christ he is a what new creature all things are passed away Jesus has that power there’s no minister that can do that for you there’s no author of a book that can do that for you there’s no music group that can do that for you you’ve got to come to Jesus and let him make you anew.

▶ 57:36 And you don’t have to wait to go on the other side for no sorrow no sighing no crying he will make you so strong spiritually that you can go through anything and come out unscathed victorious not even wounded. Amen. More than conquer as the Bible says so I challenge all of us this morning. Here there’s cushions you can kneel or you can stand or you can just lift your hands all of them are a humble act saying I’m I’m coming to a higher power than me a higher authority than me. And the Bible says he will meet you there. You make a step toward him he makes a step toward you if you want to meet with Jesus this morning and bring any thing you want to him to solve let’s just stand our kneel and let’s sing this and let Jesus meet with.

▶ 58:48 Us. Heal at the cross. Christ will meet you there. Come while he waits for you. To listen. Leave. Him your cares. Kneel at the cross.

▶ 59:44 Jesus. will meet you there just start talking to him as they sing it. At the cross. He wants his virtue to go in you. Leave.

▶ 1:00:54 Knees. Jesus. Is. Those who are. Angry. The is.

▶ 1:02:04 Give. Turn away. Is. Again.

▶ 1:03:14 Jesus. Me. Me. We kneel before your Lord Jesus.

▶ 1:04:14 We thank you for your blood we thank you for your death we thank you for being the only door into your kingdom only. Yourself. You want to touch. In the Old Testament it says. In that shadow of the heavenly temple which is his church. Which is his body. Which is that building made a living stones us.

▶ 1:05:09 He said um there I will meet with you. And I will commune with you I will talk to you. And whether you’re on facebook or here. This has been. True in my walk with God ever since I got saved. He comes and he meets with me and I love his presence. But I learned quickly to love hearing his word above the feeling of his presence are you understanding me he said I’ll meet with you but I also will speak with you and that’s what we need we need a personal God speaking to us where we’re at not where some mature Christian is we need God meeting with us confirming he loves us confirming he’s real but open our ears.

▶ 1:06:13 To hear what he’s got to say to us could that be an amen and I challenge you this week take time to kneel before God and talk to him and then listen to his voice. And when you do what he asked you to do. Backed up by scripture. You will find answers that you have been searching for for years. They’re not in books in the Christian bookstore. They’re nodding great authors and great preachers they’re in that personal meeting with God and him speaking to you and that’s what the psalmist says dig out our year Lord open our ear to hear you how many will raise your hand and say Lord open my ear to hear you amen it’s good to meet with him and in pentecostal circles we put too much emphasis on the meeting with him oh the feeling of his presence and you know in certain circles they dance and shake and all this but they didn’t let God speak to them on Monday they were yelling and screaming and cursing like anybody else.

▶ 1:07:32 Monday through Friday they weren’t balancing their checkbook they couldn’t handle the slightest opposition. Because they didn’t listen to the voice. He comes to sinners. When I was a sinner God came to me and talked to me. And he comes to you as a sinner and talked to you that’s how he drew you to himself he convicted you so folks him coming. Is wonderful but him speaking. Is what sets you free the truth set you free if you’re bad God bless you thank you for joining us mike will come and conclude the service. Amen. Let’s bow our heads in prayer this morning and pray for the offering Lord Jesus we come before you Lord God we’re reminded that your word is above your name Jesus.

▶ 1:08:33 Lord your truth God like the scriptures say. Sets us free and God Lord is that truth that we all need Jesus. Lord we pray Lord as we start this new year God Lord that we would hold fast to the truth in our lives Jesus that we would not succumb to lies we would not succumb to complacency but Lord seek after your word seek after the truth of God the voice of truth Lord Jesus we come before you this morning God we pray Lord that we would become skilled in hearing your voice. Not voices of secular voices not voices of sin or Satan God Lord but the voice of truth the voice of Jesus Christ. Lord in your precious name Lord let us be transformed by your word and your truth we love you and everyone said amen you have offering this morning we have envelopes over here on the the barrel go ahead and fill them out put it in the drop box there we want to thank you for joining us it is Christmas week so merry Christmas.
