Declaring war on the New World Order.
truthradioshow.com And welcome to truthradioshow.com and welcome to this in-depth comprehensive study of the Bible, 2nd Corinthians chapter It's the final chapter before the book of Galatians.
I'm very excited because I can't wait to jump into the book of Galatians.
So much teaching is involved with this, just as well as this as well.
So, like always guys, we've got an awesome Bible study approach here.
Let's pray for wisdom and understanding.
So guys, if you missed chapters 1 through 13, I would just say stop right there.
Stop where you are and go back and read the first 12 chapters.
Or go watch the videos, whatever the case.
So, let's pray for wisdom and understanding.
Jesus, Yeshua, Messiah will come before you in this last chapter of the book of 2 Corinthians 13 by Paul.
We pray for forgiveness of the sins that we may have committed individually, that we committed today.
And we love you so much.
And Heavenly Father, we ask you once again for the divine, not to be repetitive, but for the divine Holy Spirit to write your word upon our hearts today, in this case the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 13.
And we are all really excited to get into the book of Galatians.
And thank you for giving me the wisdom and encouragement and just giving me the ability to do this for you.
And I pray that we continue throughout the rest of Revelation and get into the Old Testament as well.
So I ask you for knowledge and wisdom and we love you so much Heavenly Father.
And please bless everybody here and protect us all from the forces of evil.
And we love you with all our hearts and souls.
Amen.
And we read description context, because context is key.
That's very important.
Let description interpret script.
As we explained all this in the last chapter.
I don't want, you know, I mean, I like to explain it in every chapter.
But, you know, you guys get the point by now.
If you haven't got the point by now, I don't know what to tell you.
So, let's get to the Bible, 2 Corinthians chapter 13.
Once again, the final chapter of this book.
Then we are on to the book of Galatians.
Another book by Paul.
So, anyway, let's get going.
So if you got a Bible, open it up.
And I know ShakyWakeRadio.com, you got the audio edition.
So, I encourage you guys to stop where you are, ShakyWakeRadio.com.
And just open the Bible to yourselves.
Because, the thing is, I know you guys trust me.
From reading from this, but I don't want to be trusted like that.
I want you guys to read it for yourselves.
This way, if I make an error, I want you guys to point that out.
That's why I do this for.
That's why we have that graph up there that says to read it for yourselves.
And the Bible says to challenge every spirit.
If I make a mistake, I goof up.
I want you guys to point it out.
And I know listeners have done that.
And I appreciate that.
And you're not going to offend me if I say something wrong.
You're like, oh, well you botched that verse up.
That's not what it means.
Absolutely.
You call me out on it.
Say, Dan, you messed up on us.
You know, blah, blah, blah.
And I look at them like, yeah, all right.
I have no problem humbling myself and correcting myself.
Especially with the Bible.
I am not gonna at all show any ounce of pride with the scriptures.
That's not what it's about.
We're supposed to speak in the word of the Lord and be held accountable also.
So if I messed up guys, I always encourage people to let me know.
Please.
You're not gonna offend me.
You're not gonna get me mad or upset.
Let me know I messed up.
Because I don't want to mislead people.
That's my goal.
This took me many years to start doing this stuff.
I always wanted to do it, but it took me so long because I didn't want to mess up.
I didn't want to mislead people.
And I pray that you guys can hold me accountable, hold my feet to the fire if I mess up.
Please do that.
And actually, I'd love you even more if you did that.
So don't, again, don't be afraid of offending me.
And that's not about pride and ego here.
So I know a lot of talk show hosts, they got pride and egos and all that stuff, but I'm not about that.
So, let's get into the Word, guys.
2 Corinthians 13, final chapter here of the book.
So verse 1 it says, this is the third time I am coming to you.
So Paul to the church of Corinth, this is the third time I'm coming to you guys.
In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
Established is to be completed, right?
Established.
Doesn't mean abolish, no.
People always misinterpret that.
When it says complete, no.
That means... It doesn't mean to end.
It means to establish, right?
When a mouth of two or three witnesses shall everywhere be established.
So when two or three witnesses come to you for one cause, right?
In other words, if you've seen a car accident, right?
How it happened, right?
Just say the other driver... Two people, one... Just say a male, right?
Drove through a stop sign.
And hit an innocent person right?
Now the person could lie and say hey yeah no they didn't stop at their stop sign.
You know but if witnesses in the area all see you fly to the stop sign.
And the other person stops and you hit them.
And then after two or three witnesses yeah the cops are automatically going to take that person's sign.
The instant one you know what I mean?
Well, he's got a bunch of friends that lie, too.
That's the other case.
But, yeah.
But, um... Anyway, this... I'll just try to use that for example, right?
So, this is the third time I'm coming to you.
Paul's saying to the church, Chris.
And the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
I told you before, and I foretell you.
In other words, I'm... I told you before, and I'm telling you now.
And I'm gonna tell you again.
As if I were present.
The second time.
And being absent now, I am writing to them.
So this is... Paul's not actually there.
He's writing to them.
I just want to make that clear because I don't know if I made that clear in the prior chapters here.
Because it sounded like I did... Gee, I caught myself.
I think I said Paul going to church to church and him going to the church here.
So he's not actually here.
He's writing them a letter.
So I just want to clarify that for you.
So, like I said, I told you before, and I foretell you.
Like, I'm foretelling you, and that means I'm telling you again, because of a future encounter, right?
As if I were present the second time, and me being absent now, I write to them, which herefore have sinned.
Remember the last chapter we talked about?
If you recall.
He's talking about sexual sins going on there.
Again, I told you before and I'm going to tell you again.
That's what he's saying.
That's what foretell means.
in other words, showing signs like we put here, right?
Filled or shown sexual desire, which they have committed, right?
So this is Paul continuing on and finishing this letter.
Again, I told you before, and I'm going to tell you again.
That's what he's saying.
That's what foretell means.
I told you before, and I will tell you again, as if I were present among you the second time.
But being absent now, I write to them which herefore have sinned, and to all others, that if I come here again, okay, I will not spare.
So this Paul is like setting things straight.
He's like really living, right?
Because there's stuff going on in this church, right?
He wrote this letter, right, to say let's knock this stuff off.
He goes, if I have to come here again.
He's like, remember the last chapter we talked about?
Like the parent thing?
Right?
Like right here we talk about the parents.
Right?
Like a parent with their child.
Right?
This is Paul again.
Oops, hold on a second, where am I?
Alright, yeah.
This is Paul again, like it's like your mom telling you, or your father when you're a kid.
If I have to come in this bedroom again, and you guys are yelling or screaming, like, you know, it's time to go to bed, get in the bed.
But if I have to come in here again, there's gonna be problems, right?
That's the same thing your parents are telling you, right?
So, Paul's saying, hey, people here have sinned, they have not repented.
Just because I'm not here, okay?
Are you saying this, right?
And I told you before, and I'm going to tell you again, as if I were present, as if I was here.
Act like I was here.
The second time, in being absent now, I write to them, which herefore have sent in to all the other, that if I come here again, okay, I will not spare.
Since you seek to proof of Christ speaking in me, Which to you, U-word, is not weak, but is mighty in you.
So he's saying, since you people seek proof that Christ speaks through me.
Which to you, U-word, is not weak, but mighty in you.
For though he was crucified through weakness.
And again, I want to point out, he's not saying Jesus is weak, in that sense.
His weakness is like basically, let himself be crucified.
Showing weakness to show humbleness.
So, don't take that out of context, right?
For through, he was crucified, talk about Jesus, was crucified through weakness.
Yet he lived by the power of God.
For we also are weak in him.
And again, it's not saying, like, weak in that tense, right?
But weak in the humbleness and all that, right?
But we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.
So I forget what he's saying here, right?
Again, like I say all the time, if you don't get this, guys, you know, pause the video, go in the comments section, And yeah, I know if it's during the premiere you can't do that right away.
But when the video is over, go into the comment section.
Hey, verse 4.
Could you explain that better?
Or whatever the case, you know what I mean?
So, always do that guys.
So, he's telling them, examine yourselves.
Look at yourselves, right?
Validate yourselves.
Whether you be in the faith.
Prove your own selves.
He's saying prove it to your own selves.
Know ye not your own selves?
He said, do you guys not know your own selves?
How that Jesus Christ is in you, except you be reprobates.
The reprobate which is rejected or an account of unworthiness, right?
Okay.
So, except for you be rejected on me, or not worthy.
So you say, examine yourselves, because you're asking me, you know, since you seek proof of Christ in me, right?
Then you're saying, oh yeah, examine yourselves, and ask yourselves about your own faith, and prove your own selves.
And don't you people know your own selves?
How that Jesus Christ is in you?
Don't you guys know that he's saying?
Except you be reprobates.
You know, it's like... Do you guys feel rejected or worthless?
But I trust that you shall know that we are not reprobates.
We are not rejects.
We are not worthless, guys.
That's what he's saying.
Because when you sin, right?
You feel worthless, you don't.
You feel rejected, because you're even ashamed to talk to God.
I know when I commit sins, right, I'm ashamed to even talk to God.
But I have to because I could get forgiveness, then you're like, alright, then you learn you shouldn't be ashamed to talk to God, you know what I mean?
God wants you to talk to Him.
Cause you just committed whatever sin you did and you feel ashamed to talk about it.
Because you feel ashamed that you did it.
That's the Holy Spirit in you.
Not to sound new agey.
I'm just saying like your consciousness.
You know that knocks at your door saying hey you're doing something wrong.
That's the Holy Spirit.
And again I'm not you know using new age terminology.
That new age garbage but yeah.
But I trust that you will know that we are not reprobates.
And he said, he said, I trust you guys that you're not gonna know that we're not rejects, we're not insufficient.
We're not worthless.
Now I pray to God that you do no evil.
Not that we should appear approved, but that we should do that which is honest.
Do we, as we, as reprobates, right?
As worthless and whatever, you know, that's the best way to say it.
Rejected, worthless, right?
Don't we be reprobates, right?
So again, he's not contradicting himself, because he told us over here, don't be reprobates, right?
Right there, we are not reprobates, and he says, don't we are reprobates.
See, Bible scoffers, we call, scoffers, not scholars, scoffers, will twist this, and then, he's not saying, you know, he's not contradicting himself.
He knows we're not worthy of the salvation, right?
We all should know that.
We're not worthy of it.
We shall not be rejected, for it's the nature.
But!
But!
Because we are God's children, right?
Adopted children of the Lord, right?
We're not no longer worthless.
We're not no longer rejected by God.
And when he says, don't we be as reprobates, in other words, we feel that way.
Not that we are, but we feel that way.
Right?
Don't.
For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
That's a positive statement too.
I'm gonna write that down.
I like that.
That's cool.
Because, um, this goes a long way.
Like, nobody can debunk the truth.
Took a screenshot of that.
Nobody can debunk the truth, nobody can touch the truth.
But we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
We can do for the truth, we can help spread the word of truth.
That's why these people out there, these scoffers and all that, they can't destroy the Word of God.
Much as they try, like Stephen Hawkins and all these idiots, these fools I should say.
Much as they try, because they...
They have seminars against weak-minded people that don't know the Bible.
That's why they can draw crowds and all that stuff, because it's soothsaying, you know?
But yeah, when you test these people, they, you know, they don't like people like us that know the Scripture.
Because the Scripture is written upon our hearts.
Again, for we can do nothing against the truth but for the truth.
For we are glad when we are weak.
And ye are strong.
So let me give a clarification on that, in case you didn't get it in the last chapter.
What does that mean, we are glad when we are weak, but yet we are strong?
Because when you're down and out, you're at your best.
How does that make any sense?
Check this out, when you're going through test trials and tribulations, right?
You lost everything, whatever the case, right?
And you're at your weak point, right?
But you're at your best as well.
Because now you're more in tune to God.
You're more in tune to what you have to do to get back.
What you have to go through.
You understand the path in front of you.
And at this point with the Lord, you're flawless to come back to, you know, get your job back or, you know, get your family back.
Stuff like that, right?
Whatever the trial is.
Like Michael Jordan said that too.
A lot of times when the Chicago Bulls are they were like down.
Like going into the second half of the game.
Like down 27 points.
Normally a team would just lose.
20-30 points right?
And Jordan said you know when we're down we're at our best.
Because now we've learned to focus now.
We've learned to you know like really fine-tune our game.
That's what this means.
When we're down is when we're at our best.
When we're being persecuted, we're at our best.
Our weakness is our strength.
And Michael, not to use Michael Jordan again, but yeah, Michael Jordan always said, when he, his weaknesses he turned into strengths.
You know for a while he couldn't shoot 3 pointers.
He worked hard and became a great 3 pointer shooter.
At times when he couldn't shoot free throws.
He sat there and shot 500 free throws after practice.
Until he became fluent with it.
He turned his weaknesses into his strengths.
This is like a summary of what I'm explaining here.
Right?
And this is what we also wish.
Even your perfection.
Because when you're down at your weakness.
Right?
And you get focused to be strong, right?
You become... the perfection comes out, right?
And therefore, I write these things being absent.
Again, Paul's not here.
It's just a letter here.
Less being present, I should be at you sharpness, according to the power which the Lord has given me to edification and not destruction.
In other words, I'm not going to come here and put you people down and destroy you.
I mean, you get to bring edification and encouragement and stuff like that, right?
But also, yeah, to let you know you need to repent.
So you don't lead to destruction, right?
So again, Paul's saying, I write these things to you because I'm not here.
Unless being present, I should use shop list.
In other words, like, if he was present, yeah, remember?
If I have to come back here again, he's saying?
Right?
But using sharpness.
In other words, I'm gonna tell you how it is.
I'm not gonna be soft-spoken.
I'm not gonna be, uh, you know, blowing smoke or anything like that, or tickling the ears.
I'm gonna be bold and upfront.
And according to the power which the Lord has given me.
So if you noticed that about Paul.
Paul when he spoke to people in person.
He told you how it is.
He didn't like beat around the bush.
Try to sugar coat things.
He told you exactly how it is.
And that's what you all need to learn guys.
Because our parents growing up.
If they didn't tell us how it is.
God knows how we would have turned out right?
That's why he used the parent thing.
Example in the last chapter.
Finally, brethren, farewell.
Be perfect.
Be of good comfort.
Be of one mind.
What does that mean, be of one mind?
In other words, the whole church act, be united.
Be of one mind of the Scripture.
Don't let there be division, right?
Live in peace.
Right?
Again, be good comfort.
Be of one mind, like by the Scriptures, by the Gospel.
Like we're all today, right?
We're all of one mind right now.
Because we're reading the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 13.
We're all of one mind right now, right?
We're at peace right now, right?
Keep it that way.
And the God of love and peace shall be with you.
That's our Heavenly Father.
Greet one another with the holy kiss.
And a holy kiss is basically a... It's a tradition.
A holy kiss is basically a kiss on the cheek.
Sometimes you kiss on both cheeks.
And all saints salute you.
And all the saints salute you, right?
The saints are the believers.
The saints are the people who also died in Christ too.
You are the saint.
We are all saints.
You don't have to be granted a saint by the Catholic Church or anything like that.
No, that's not how it works.
They don't have the power to grant anybody a saint.
Or patron saints or any of that garbage.
The saint is anybody.
And that's the thing with the Catholic Church too.
They make you feel inferior.
Oh, you have to spend time in purgatory while saints go right to heaven.
And you gotta wait in purgatory, right?
Which is umbilical.
It's not umbilical.
And so you become a saint.
And you have to sit in purgatory in order to go through these rituals.
No, that's not how it works.
A saint is anyone who believes in Jesus.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the communion of the Holy Ghost.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Be with you all.
That's beautiful.
And the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost.
Be with you all.
Amen.
And this is the second epistle to the Corinthians.
It was written from Philippi, a city of Macedonia, by Titus and Lucas.
So that concludes this book of 2 Corinthians chapter 13.
And I can't wait to get to the book of Galatians.
It's going to be awesome.
There's a lot of good stuff in Galatians.
I can't wait to get there.
Also, here's the other thing too.
I can't wait to get to more because there's a lot of misinterpretations by ministries and churches that they take verses out of context.
And I can't wait to dig into those.
Such as people claiming the Ten Commandments were nailed to the cross.
Paul says the Ten Commandments were nailed to the cross.
Or the laws.
No, he says the ordinances.
Ordinances are not commandments.
Ordinances are not laws.
And people don't understand the difference between ordinances, laws, commandments, and statutes.
Four different things.
It's legal terminology, right?
And most people don't understand legal terminology.
So when a pastor of this nation says, oh, they were nailed to the cross and bled out.
No, they were not.
The ordinances were.
Not the commandments.
I can't wait to get into that.
I think that's Galatians 5.
But yeah, there's so many of those things in there that these false ministries and churches and religions out there misuse the book of Galatians for.
And also, it's such great teaching.
It really is.
And I can't wait.
It's going to be exciting.
So thank you for tuning in to this awesome chapter, man.
It's good.
Yeah.
2 Corinthians chapter 13.
So don't take my word, anybody else's word for it.
Read it for yourselves, guys.
Very important.
And check out truthradioshow.com.
There's a list of all our shows and social media networks.
So please check it out, guys.
And again, thank you for tuning in to this in-depth, comprehensive study of the Bible, 2 Corinthians chapter 13.
And we will see you, God willing, for Galatians chapter 1.
Now I'm excited for that.
