- If you're receiving this transmission, you are the resistance.
declaring war on the new world order truth radio show.com shalom and welcome to the damn bedine show on truth radio show.com and welcome back to the book of acts where We're on chapter 19 and it's in-depth copy of the study of the book of Acts.
So if you missed chapters 1 through 18, please go watch them in the playlist before you proceed any further.
So again, chapter 19 guys and we welcome you guys to the show and this is our Bible study approach.
Number one, we pray to the Father, for wisdom and understanding.
So what we do now is bow our heads and Jesus, Yeshua, we pray to you to forgive us for our sins and trespasses and give us...
Your divine comforter that you promised us, which is the Holy Spirit that you said to come after you and to help the Holy Spirit write your word upon our hearts.
And Heavenly Father, we come to you and we pray for your divine wisdom and understanding and we pray for your protection, Almighty Father, against any and all evil.
In your precious name we pray, amen.
And we read the scripture in context, because remember, context is key.
Very important to understand this, guys.
Let the scripture interpret scripture.
And I know I start every one of these videos off with this, this Bible study approach.
It has to be a constant reminder.
I know you all have been following me to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and now Acts.
And we're going to repeat this over and over again in every video we do, because...
I, myself, need a constant reminder of this, and so don't we all.
It's very important to understand this specific Bible study approach.
Because without the Father, without the Holy Spirit, and Jesus, we're not going to understand His Word.
So we need divine intervention to fully understand it.
Something no church, seminary, school, college, university, professor, priest, or anything like that could do.
So let's turn into the book of Acts chapter 19. And if you don't got a Bible, we do get it up on screen.
And if you listen on audio edition on ShakeYourWakeRadio.com, please open your Bible to Acts chapter 19. So let's begin here.
And it came to pass, while Apollos was at Corinth, and Paul, having passed through the upper coast, came to Euphys.
In finding certain disciples.
Now I want to apologize ahead of time.
I can't pronounce these cities perfectly, but please forgive me, but it is written there.
So anyway, so Paul, finding certain disciples.
So he said to them, have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?
And then he said it to him, we have not heard such of whether there be any Holy Ghost.
Which is baffling yet, because the teachings of Jesus, Jesus told us, after him there will be another comforter, and that's the Holy Ghost.
This is what Jesus taught.
Which is kind of baffling that these apostles now, these disciples, they don't know about the Holy Ghost.
And they said unto him, Then we were baptized.
And they said unto John's baptism.
So Paul is asking then, How were you baptized?
And they said, Well, we were baptized by John.
John the Baptist.
Then Paul said, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance.
Saying unto the people that they should believe on him.
We talk about believing in Jesus.
Which should come after him.
That is the Christ Jesus, as I clearly explained, that they should believe on Jesus.
That's the baptism, the water baptism, right?
Which is a symbol of our faith and repentance.
We're a new person, right?
Coming out of that water, we're a new person.
And it's a sign of repentance and faith unto Jesus Christ.
And when they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Right?
So he's saying, yeah, you were baptized in the Lord Jesus, but you haven't been baptized in the Holy Spirit yet.
And when Paul, he had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
Now, you've really got to pay attention to this, because a lot of today's chasmatic churches, evangelical churches and all that, they'll take this to a whole new level, guys.
Now, this is being baptized.
You know, the water baptism is repentance and, you know, believing in Jesus Christ.
The baptism of fire is basically the Holy Ghost.
So, and it comes with speaking in tongues, being prophesied, right?
So basically, what this means, right?
Don't be confused with the other stuff.
Because we're going to get into it as we go through the, you know, when you get to the Corinthians and everything.
First Corinthians and Second Corinthians is going to explain in detail about tongues.
So long story short, until we get to that, understand, right, if you talk in tongues to the Holy Spirit, it's of God.
I've done it in my dreams years ago when I confronted demons.
Something took over me, which was the Holy Spirit, and the demons went away.
When I started speaking, I didn't even know what I was saying.
It was something which was the Holy Spirit working through me.
But here's the thing, right?
If you go to speak to people, if you're in a church, right, and you stop, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right?
Nobody can understand you.
That's not of God.
If nobody can interpret that for you, or you can't interpret it yourself, or if the people don't understand what you're saying, that is not of God.
The Bible says to hold your tongue.
We're going to get to this much later when we get to the first and second Corinthians and all that.
So, understand that.
Speaking in tongues, basically, generally, right?
If you spoke in tongues, right?
You were in front of, like, ten different people, ten different languages.
If you spoke in true tongues, every one of those people could understand you in their own language.
That's how the angels spoke.
And we went through this, I think, in Matthew, where the apostles spoke in tongues.
And the people understood them in their language.
But again, if you don't went to these churches and you had somebody jump up, start a convulsion, or just yelling and screaming and speaking in tongues, right, and you don't understand what they're saying, that wasn't of God.
The whole church goes quiet and everything else, and that was not of God, because they were not interpreted.
The Bible talks about this, see, I mean, because if you do this, right, and somebody, you know, unbelievable, the Bible says if an unbeliever comes to see this, they're going to take care of a bunch of fools, right?
It's going to turn people away.
And that's done it to almost my brother.
Almost turned him away from it when he walked into the church I was going to at the time.
Didn't know any better.
I did everything to get him to church.
He finally went.
And he's seen this going on.
And he walked right out.
And I don't blame him.
But thank God he's found the Lord now.
So, you know, amen to that.
So just understand us that tongues, you really need to study tongues with what the Scripture has to say.
Not what I have to say, not what the churches have to say, what the Bible has to say.
There's people who spoke in tongues to the Holy Spirit on your own.
I'm not denying that stuff, God, because this is what Paul said when he laid his hands upon them, right?
The Holy Ghost came on them and they spoke with tongues and prophesied, right?
And all the men were about 12. So it was 12 apostles he was doing a story.
And it's baffling, I'll go back here, right?
And it was just baffling that we have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
It's kind of baffling because Jesus talked about the Holy Ghost.
And I don't know if every one of them said that, maybe a few of them that didn't, you know, the new apostles that came along afterwards.
Doesn't specify, but it is baffling that they didn't know about the Holy Ghost.
Paul did, and he has to think Paul came later.
At the time when Jesus, when John the Baptist, I'm sorry, was baptizing people, and he baptized Jesus and all that, Paul was out there killing, you know, right after that, sooner or later, Paul was out there, yeah, Saul, killing believers.
But Paul knew this because the Holy Spirit was upon Paul.
And again, Jesus said he'll set another comforter, and that was all he spared.
Let me get to that in a second here.
I just want to get that.
Oh, excuse me, guys.
Right there, it says...
It's chapter 20, verse 26.
We already went through this when we did John, so I'm going to do it one more time.
And about the comforter, which is, go back here.
Verse 16, right?
This is right before Jesus was going to be crucified.
He said, and I will pray the Father, and he shall send you, give you another comforter that he may abide with you forever, right?
And he goes on to say who the comforter was, right?
And he says, the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said unto you.
And this is when, right before Jesus went to go be crucified.
So confirming it's the Holy Ghost, and it's kind of baffling that the apostles here, some of them, didn't know about the Holy Ghost.
Maybe it's the way it's worded.
They probably knew it but didn't know because it's old language.
Maybe it's saying they didn't know they had to be received by the Holy Ghost.
Either way, it's kind of baffling because that's what Jesus told them.
Anyway, that was Paul teaching them.
They went over and laid his hands on them.
That they, you know, this is awesome stuff.
And when Paul laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came unto them and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
And all men were about twelve.
So it was about twelve of these apostles, right?
And he went into the synagogue, Paul did, and spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
So I remind you, he's in their confrontation with the Jewish elders and everything else, right?
So, but when the, I'm sorry, at this place, yeah, synagogue.
But when the divers were hardened, and believed not, but spoke evil of the way before the multitude, he departed from them and separated the disciples, disputing daily the school of the tyrannists.
So again, the Jews, you know, the High Court Jews, they were always contending with Paul.
As we went through the whole book of Acts, you can clearly see that, actually through the entire New Testament so far, the Jews are always disputing Jesus, then Stephen, and now Paul.
So, and he continued by the space of two years.
So that all that which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
So Paul went to Asia for two years, speaking the word of Jesus to both Jews and Greeks.
And God brought special miracles by the hands of Paul.
So God was working through Paul.
The Holy Spirit was working through Paul.
Right?
That's why Paul was able to do these things.
And so that from his body were brought unto sick handkerchiefs and aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
So he has Paul doing exactly what Jesus is doing.
Healing the sick, casting out demons, and everything else.
Then a certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, Took up upon them the call over them, which had evil spirits in the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We enjoy you by Jesus whom Paul preached.
And there were seven sons of Sveca, a Jew, and chief of the priests, and the evil spirits answered and said, Jesus, I know, and Paul, I know, but who are you?
So this evil spirit answered.
Paul said, I know Jesus and I know Paul, but who are you?
To this Jew here, I'm sorry.
So, and the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them and overcame them and prevailed against them so that they fled out of the house naked and wounded.
So, yeah.
To the chief priest then.
So it sounds like they all got possessed and ripped off their clothes and yeah, it's crazy stuff, man.
Spiritual warfare.
So again, the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped upon them sounds like just like possessed them because it overcame them and prevailed against them.
So they fled out of the house naked and wounded.
And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling in Ephesus.
And fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
So now they're seeking Jesus, because they've seen these demons leap upon them and possess them.
And many that believed came and confessed and showed their deeds.
And many of them which also, curious arts, brought their books together and burned them before all men.
So curious arts, yeah, that's witchcraft.
That's witchcraft and all kinds of black magic and everything else, which Deuteronomy 18 forbids.
So they brought all their books together, like all these witchcraft books and all that, and burned them before all men.
And they counted the price of them, and they found it in 50,000 pieces of silver.
So these books were expensive, that's what I'm saying.
And so mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
Because I've seen them being involved with this witchcraft, what has it done?
It brought evil spirits upon you.
And it scared them all.
And the evil spirit admitted, yeah, I know Jesus, I know Paul.
But telling them, who are you?
To the chief priest, who are you?
And it scared them all.
I hope I make sense with that, guys.
I hope I didn't buff up a couple of the verses yet.
But, yeah.
If you've got any questions or anything like that, please put it in the comment section and I'll get back to you if you need more clarification.
I just hope I didn't buff up any of those verses I'm trying to explain here.
So, this is like spiritual warfare going on.
And this also reminds me of this too, because people I try to help against witchcraft and everything else, what they do is, these books are expensive.
And if anybody's been to the occult, you know what I'm talking about, right?
The books, the talisman you buy and all that, they're very, very expensive.
And the people don't want to buy them because they paid a lot of money for them.
But ask yourself, is money worth your soul?
Like a lot of people, they'll have a big dream catcher over their bed that causes nightmares and all kinds of evil stuff.
You know, it's funny because a dream catcher is exposed to water off evil spirits and having good dreams, right?
But it does quite the opposite.
A lot of people, when I used to do the paranormal stuff, they were telling me they had violent nightmares and all that, and they told me they had a dream catcher over their bed.
I'm like, well, there's your problem.
But I paid $300 for that thing, or one will say I got it from a, it's a family heirloom or whatever the case.
It doesn't matter how much it's worth.
Is that worth your soul?
And you don't give it away, you don't sell it because it's worth the money.
You need to destroy it.
That's exactly what these people did.
They destroyed about 50,000 pieces of silver on books before all men.
That's repentance.
Get rid of it.
Burn it.
And that's how you cast it out, guys.
Because when you have these things, you're bringing the curse into your house.
You're inviting evil into your home.
You're opening up a spiritual gateway into your home.
The floodgates, if you will, demonic spirits and everything.
That's why people are in violent nightmares.
All kinds of stuff jumps off.
If you have any of these things, guys, books like this, talisman, necklace, which is a necklace, whatever, any kinds of symbols, or even family heirlooms, I don't care if it's your greatest grandmother or whatever the case, you need to get rid of it.
No matter how much it costs, how many times it's been passed through the family, you need to destroy it.
Not give it away, not hand it down to somebody else, because you're going to be giving that curse to somebody else still.
You need to destroy it.
Do away with it, apart from it.
And I know some people, like, they take things, like, that's been passed down to the family, like, is to their heart, you know?
You can't do that.
And after they did this, right, they threw all these books, these witchcraft books, right, in the fire.
Destroyed about 50,000 pieces of silver.
They found it to be 50,000, which in other words, the price of them.
And they counted the price of these books.
50, and I don't know what this would be worth now.
Back then, we don't know the currency exchange, but 50,000 pieces of silver sounds like a lot of money.
50,000 pieces of silver of these books.
So right after that, so mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
And after these things were ended, Paul proposed in the spirit when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia to go to Jerusalem saying, after I haven't been there, I also see Rome.
I must also see Rome.
Saying, I gotta go to Rome after this.
So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto them, Timotus and Estratus, but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
So whatever season that it be, like the summer, winter, whatever the case, whatever that measurement of time.
Yeah, he sent Timotus and Estratus And he stayed in Egypt.
Paul did, right?
And at the same time, there arose no small stir about that way.
So, basically, yeah, he's bringing...
God's word prevailed after this, and nothing stirred up.
After all this had happened, they gave...
Because all these demons going around, possessing all these people and all that, they put the fear of God into these people, right?
They didn't want to hear nothing.
So, to narrate what happened so far, right...
Paul's trying to witness these people, right?
They didn't want to hear nothing.
They contended with Paul, and this massive number of people got possessed by demons.
They closed off, ran out naked and everything else, scared so many people.
To actually see, and the demon came out to say, yeah, I know Paul and I know Jesus.
Which all the people recognize, alright, if these demons know Paul and Jesus, there's got to be some validity that Jesus had.
And they actually listened to the word of God preached by Paul, right?
And they took all their witchcraft books and everything else and threw it into the fire.
And the word of God prevailed.
So anyway, for a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen.
So, just now, Diana, right?
The next chapter, you're going to see about Diana.
Like, you know, the goddess Diana.
And you'll see a lowercase g means that they think it's a god, Diana.
It's no such thing as a god or goddess besides god himself.
God's the only god.
He's not a goddess, okay, for those people in the Kabbalah.
This false god, this, Diana here.
So we'll get to that in the next chapter.
Brought no smoke game into the craftsmen, right?
And whom he called together with the workmen of a like occupation and said, Sirs, you know that by this craft we have our wealth.
Saying this is how we make our money.
Moreover, you see and hear that not alone in Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, This Paul had persuaded and turned away much people, saying that there be no gods, which are made with their hands.
So he's saying that Paul is persuading people there's no gods, which are made with hands, right?
Which is talisman, idols, and all that stuff, right?
Which is true.
There's no gods, you know, like idols and all that.
There's only one God, right?
Look, lowercase g, referring to...
And again, if you haven't heard this already through the teachings here, anytime you see the word God, right, with a lowercase g, that's referred to a false God in Scripture.
When you see God...
You won't see...
When you see God, I'm sorry, with a capital G, that's our Heavenly Father.
You'll never see the word gods or goddess or goddesses with a capital G. Or referring to a false god with a capital G. Only our Heavenly Father.
Just want to point that out.
So, because a lot of people in the New Age, in the cult, they'll throw this out.
Oh, look, there's other gods, the Bible says.
No.
If you paid attention to know, the Bible's not calling them gods.
Right?
The Bible is calling it basically what the people call gods.
False gods, a low-key exchange.
I just want to point that out.
Because you've got to be on your toes with these occultists, man.
Because a lot of them do know the Bible, and they know how to manipulate it very well.
Remember, Satan's behind us.
And demons.
They know the Scriptures very well, so they can manipulate it against people who don't know the Scripture.
That's why we need to be sharp as a sword when we preach the Word of God.
Because the word of God is the sword.
That cuts like no other, the best weapon ever.
Verse 27, so that not only is this our craft is in danger to be set or not, but also the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, and whom all Asia the world worships.
So again, you know, goddess Diana, see the location of Jane?
Yeah, it's a false god.
So where Paul is right now, in the thesis, right?
Asia, their primary goddess is Diana.
Which is a demon.
You know what I mean?
It's a false god.
And all these fake gods and goddesses are either fallen angels or demons.
Or Nephilim.
Just want to point that out.
Or men of renown that became, you know, men of power and everything.
Later on, you know, men and women that will be revered as God like Isis, right?
Isis was Nimrod's wife, Semiramis.
They revered her as a goddess, the secret societies though.
I just want to point that out.
So, and this is the silversmith, right?
Which makes idols for the temple of Diana.
The goddess Diana's temple.
And he said, this is not only a craft, but it also puts danger in setting up, that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnetism should be destroyed, and whom Asia and the world worships.
And when they had heard these things, they were full of wrath and cried out saying, Great is Diana of Ephesians.
Because Paul's in enemy territory right now, spiritually.
He's just going into the realm of the domain, basically, of the fake goddess Diana.
And people are full of wrath over this, like, what is Paul doing here preaching this?
This is the land, Ephesians, of the great goddess Diana.
And the whole city was filled with confusion.
And having caught Gaius and Estratus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions of travel, they rushed with one accord to the theater.
So with one mission, with one purpose.
With one accord means with one purpose.
A bunch of people having one purpose.
So because of these preaching, right?
And the norm was the preaching of the goddess Diana and Paul preaching of Jesus.
Now it filled the whole city with confusion.
And when Paul would have entered into the people, the disciples suffered him now.
And the certainty of the chief of Asia...
Which were his friends, sat on to him, desiring him that he would not venture himself into the theater.
So when the chiefs of Asia told Paul, don't go into that theater.
And some therefore cried one thing and some another, for the assembly was confused, and more part knew not wherefore they come together.
So you got a whole theater full of people just confused all together, right?
And they drew Alexander out of the multitude.
So a multitude is thousands of people.
Five thousand people, whatever the case, right?
At least.
So they drew Alexander out of the multitude of people and the Jews put him forward.
In other words, putting him on the spot or on the altar or whatever.
Not the altar, the platform or something, right?
Putting the focus on him.
And Alexander beckoned with one hand, with the hand, I'm sorry, and would have made his defense unto the people.
But when they knew that he was a Jew, with all one voice about the space of two hours cried out, for two hours, when they found out that Alexander was a Jew, right?
And these people in this theater, yeah, for two hours...
They were screaming, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
Giving glory to their fake goddess, Diana.
And when the town clerk had appeased the people, he said, You men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
So Tom Clarkson's saying, like, who are these people that don't know about Diana?
Just appease the people, right?
And see, and you know, it's kind of interesting, right?
The image that which fell down from Jupiter.
So with this in the spiritual warfare, right?
What is this telling us?
Now, here's the thing, right?
People who don't know biblical cosmology, you are not going to get this.
And unfortunately, it's most churches out there, most Christians today.
And people say, oh, how could a plant, you know, how would the piece of an image, I'm sorry, come from Jupiter and come on Earth?
You are not going to get this if you don't understand cosmology.
This is deep spiritual warfare here, guys.
Because of the world we've been trained into, I believe that these planets out there are just balls of gas created from a Big Bang and all that.
No, that neither is such.
These stars and all these so-called planets, all that, they are put there by the Father, in the firmament.
There's no universal space and all that.
It's called the firmament, as the Bible says in Genesis.
I know half the people are probably going to shut this off when I speak the truth.
To fully understand this, okay?
To understand how an image would come down from Jupiter.
It's not joking.
It came from Jupiter.
Or the Bible wouldn't have said that.
The Bible wouldn't have said it was false.
If you understand biblical cosmology, you'll know that these are heavenly beings.
In different realms of heaven.
Levels of heaven.
Some good, some bad.
And again, if you don't understand biblical cosmology, you're not going to understand this, okay?
But regardless, you need to understand there was an image which is basically a violation of the second commandment.
And again, the churches today, oh, the Ten Commandments, don't worry about those.
Oh, those are just for the Jews and warned of grace now.
Grace doesn't cancel the Ten Commandments, though.
God destroyed an entire city over idolatry.
Understand this.
God hates idolatry with a passion.
And it mentions it right in the end of Scripture.
So the Ten Commandments are still valid, alright?
Second Commandment, I know in the Catholic Church they don't have an idolatry commandment and the Second Commandment, but the biblical, the Bible's Ten Commandments, you shall not make any engraving images of heaven or earth or anything above it or below it.
Plain and simple.
So regardless of what you believe, okay, the Ephesians, he said the town clerk, right?
Telling the men of Ephesians, what man is there that knows not the city of Ephesians?
Referring to Paul here.
How does he know not know the city of Ephesians as a worshiper of the great goddess Diana?
An image which fell down from Jupiter.
So basically some demonic source created an image of Diana.
That's what happened, alright?
Seeing that these things cannot be spoken against, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rationally.
So the town clerk's town falls.
For you have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
Wherefore, if Demetrius and the craftsmen, which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies.
Let them and plead one another.
I don't know if I know what plead means.
To bring a lawsuit.
Alright, so that would make sense then.
Because the law is open and there are deputies, which are deputies here in this case.
Today's deputy, you know, would be like summary assistants or like a deputy, like sheriff, whatever case, but in this case it's a lawyer.
Or a legal councilman or something like a Yeah, one of those things, right?
So basically somebody who practices law.
So the law in Ephesians here, right?
Let them bring a lawsuit or a case against one another.
But if you inquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in lawful assembly.
For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar.
There be no cause whereby we may give account of this concourse.
And when we had spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
So again, there was a in this theater with the chief of Asia, right?
Sounds like the chief invasor is trying to help Paul out.
Tell him not to go into the assembly, but to the theater.
Because these people, you know, for two hours of chanting for their goddess Diana caused a big uproar in the whole community.
So the town clerk's like really ticked off about it.
He's trying to bring a case against Paul.
So this continues on to the next chapter, chapter 20. So again, if you have any questions or need any clarification on this, please hit me up on either my inbox on Facebook, whatever the case, or the comment section here on the YouTube channels.
So we'll be back for chapter 20. That's pretty interesting.
And a lot of spiritual warfare, guys.
And when I said biblical cosmology, it's basically everything you learn in school about space and all that stuff, guys.
Throw that right out the window.
And I'm going to give you a little homework here.
If you don't have any clue what biblical cosmology is, give you a little hint, right?
The schools teach you that the world, you know, well, I'm sorry, the universe was created by a big bang, 13 point and whatever, a billion years ago, right?
And on that big bang, all that matter came out of a little dot, right?
Whatever the case.
And eventually the earth came about in all this for billions of years, right?
So they're saying all this stuff came first, the universe, the galaxy, the solar system, the earth, right?
The sun and the earth later on, whatever I'm about.
And contrary to that, Genesis clearly says in Genesis 1, and we'll go to that real quick here.
oops wrong button here so let's go right to Genesis 1 this is why it's important to understand the New Testament Old Testament, I'm sorry.
Because modern day churches tell you, oh, don't worry about the Old Testament.
Yes, you need to worry about the Old Testament because you would not understand anything in the New Testament if you do not understand the Old.
So right from the creation, right?
So it says, God created the heavens and the earth, let they be late first, and he created the heavens and the earth and all that stuff, right?
And he made a firmament which divided the waters were under the firmament from the water towards above the firmament.
And it was so.
So, you need to understand, alright, above what you think is space, above it, there's waters.
I know it's hard for people to believe, okay, but above what you think is space is called waters, right?
And what space really is is called a firmament.
And God called the firmament heaven.
And the evening morning was a second day.
Now check this out, right?
And when I said, you know, the school said all the stuff was created before the earth and all that stuff, well, I'm contrary to that, right?
God placed the great lights in the firm.
And he has on the third day, right?
So, the fourth day, right?
Right now on the third day, right?
In creation, there was no sun, moon, or stars.
I know it's hard to believe, right?
There was earth first, right?
No sun, moon, or stars.
Then people say, well, what was that light then?
Well, that light was Jesus Christ.
He is the light to shoot the way.
Now, check this out, right?
And I know it's going to be a shock to a lot of people.
Now, on the fourth day, God said, let there be lights in the firmament.
That's what you call space, right?
There was no stars, no galaxies, nothing on day three.
The earth was here first, Then God separated the waters from above and below.
That's right, below the earth is waters and above what you call space is waters.
I can't wait to start the Old Testament chapter.
This is going to be a mind-blowing for a lot of people.
But anyway, God said, let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from night and let them be for signs of seasons and for days and years, right?
And now, you need to understand, biblical astronomy.
I've got biblical, yeah, biblical cosmology.
This is not occultic astrology.
Astrology, the occult uses stars and all that stuff as the so-called tell fortunes and all that stuff.
That's a perversion to what God wants you to do.
God says to use the stars and the sky and all that stuff for seasons and signs and days and years.
Don't get a twist that would have called astrology.
Anyway, he said, let them be for the lights of the firmament in heaven and give the lights upon the earth.
And God made two great lights.
So now, right, the earth was first.
He created the firmament.
Now there's nothing in the firmament.
Now he started making the stars, right?
On day four.
And check this out.
Then after the stars were made, what you call stars, planets, and all that stuff, after all that was made, then God created two great lights.
The greater light to rule the day and the less light to rule the night.
Then he made the stars also.
More stars than everything else.
What's the greater light in the day?
It's the sun.
The greater light in the night is the moon.
The sun and moon were not created until day four.
After the earth was created first...
The firmament was created.
Then God started placing, you know, what you call planets and stars and all that galaxies.
He started placing them in the firmament.
Then he made the sun moon and the stars also.
And look, God put them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth, to rule over the day and the night, and to divide the light from darkness, and God saw it as good.
And that was the evening morning with the fourth day.
Just want to point that out, guys, when I said you need to know biblical astrology, right?
So yeah, and this is very important.
Hang on a second.
So that being said, right?
Read this verse once again.
Acts 19.35, right?
And when the town clerk had appeased the people, he said, you men of Ephesus, what man is there that no one, like referring to Paul, why does he not know that the city of Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, the fake goddess, and an image which fell down from Jupiter?
So, an image coming from Jupiter, does that sound far-fetched now?
When you have a little bit of taste of biblical astronomy, biblical, I'm sorry, biblical cosmology, that these planets and all that, they're not what you think they are, what NASA tells you they are.
They're actually heavenly beings.
The luminaries, they call them, the Bible calls them the luminaries.
Luminaries, I'm sorry, stars.
Why do you think in Hollywood they call the people stars, like luminaries?
Because they want to reach for the stars, right?
You ever hear that?
Those are heavenly luminaries.
They're beings.
They're evil or good.
Some are good, some are bad.
It goes deep.
I could be here for hours talking about this.
So understand that, right?
Yeah.
So we're going to get to chapter 20. I hope I don't confuse you all.
I apologize about that.
It's just like there's so much stuff in this Bible.
And if you don't know the Old Testament, you're not going to know this.
That's why it's so important to know this stuff, guys.
Because I'm sure, well, where are you getting this stuff, Dan?
This ain't biblical.
Well, I just showed you.
It is biblical.
When the Bible says the Earth was created first, then the permanent, which is what we call space, right?
Then the planets and all that stuff.
Then the sun, moon, and stars.
That's the order, not the other way around.
And check again.
Notice how NASA and all these scientists that are anti-Gods Notice how they preach the exact opposite?
There's a big bang, the universe, first, the galaxy, then the solar system, then the sun, then the earth, right?
No, it's the total opposite way around.
Except for there's no big bang, it's a big dud.
Notice how they do that opposite purposely?
Yeah, just keep that in mind.
