Time Text
The Altar Abandoned 00:06:01
I did a kind of investigation sharing called the pre-abomination prophecies.
And that's, I believe, one of the things you have in that set.
And so I'll just share a little bit of the revelations of what it does, but people don't realize.
Number one, before the desecration happened, before this Antichrist figure comes back then, it didn't start with the Antichrist figure.
The book of Maccabees says that actually long before the desecration, the priests of the temple had abandoned the altar, had abandoned the temple, basically.
They abandoned it, and then only later does it get desecrated.
So the first key it tells us about right now, major revelation, is that it's not that evil's coming or evil's just going to come.
It's not just that.
Before the evil comes, the priests of God are not doing their job, and they abandon the things of God, and that leaves it open for the enemy of God.
Wow.
And so what it tells, it's not just that the end times are evil.
It's that the keepers of the light, the church, has to be abandoning in some way the altar, which is the cross for us.
That allows the enemy to do everything he's doing.
And you've seen when you look at what churches, did you mention the 1960s?
Well, that's also a period where many churches were going away from the word of God.
And many churches, and that's where you've got all, now they're into abominations, those same churches.
But it begins with that.
They abandoned the altar.
I'll give you an example.
I'll give you an example.
We talked about marriage today, because marriage is a sacred vessel.
We can never say how major that was, what happened less than a year ago in the Supreme Court.
But that was a desecration.
Long before that desecration happened, we, the church and America, has already been abandoning marriage.
In other words, it didn't just happen.
It was been happening for, it was leading up to it.
Example, the divorce rate we have, we've already been abandoning marriage.
Premarital sex is everywhere.
New generation, we've already been abandoning marriage.
Sexual promiscuity, abandoning adultery, abandon a culture on television that glorifies sex without marriage.
We've already been abandoning marriage.
What happened to the Supreme Court wasn't a surprise.
It was just that ceiling step.
It was the desecration.
You know, we talk about, you know, male, we're watching the president, we're watching the culture say there's no difference between male and female.
Now you have in the bathrooms, now in your locker rooms, you could have women showering with boys, all that.
Well, that was already happening.
You have a generation growing up without a father and a mother, without a father and mother, and then you say, well, why should you be so surprised that they don't realize there's a difference essential between man and woman?
We've already been abandoning it for years.
That's the revelation.
The Antichrist doesn't just come.
He comes after it's already been prepared by the culture and even allowed by the church.
Allowed by the church.
Now, another thing they say here, that's in Maccabees, is that it says that the people were going after these other gods and then it came back at them.
And what the principle is, God says to Israel, you're going after all the Assyrian gods, the Bible.
Well, I'm going to bring you this.
I'm going to bring them to your doorstep.
You're going after you love these things.
It's going to come back.
So here we are in America, glorifying everything except for Christianity, glorifying Islam, having courses in Islam, and anything, whatever's not Christian, God says, okay, you want that?
You'll get that.
You want Islam?
You'll get Islam.
You'll get 9-11.
You want this?
You want everything but your God?
You're going to get this.
So what it's saying is that what you go after comes back at you.
And the other thing is, even when, I'm just giving you some keys from this.
Even when Antiochus, the king, the shadow of the Antichrist, comes into the temple and slaughters a pig, sets up an idol, what people don't realize, if you read the account, he was actually allowed in by the priests.
They led him in.
They led him into that.
So what it's saying here is that the apostasy doesn't just come.
It is prepared.
When you, Zach, you talk about, you know, what is it, 40 years, 50 years ago, we took out prayer out of school.
That wasn't the end.
That was the beginning.
We took out the Bible.
When you take away those things, it's never going to stay as a vacuum.
Take away God, other gods are coming in.
You take away good, evil's coming in.
You look at what's everything we're seeing right now, everything.
We're seeing in the school system, everything with what's happened to marriage.
It was begun then.
We allowed it.
Christians allowed it.
You know, we took it when you took out the Bible from little kids.
Well, look what you have with little kids now.
What we have replaced.
So the ultimate thing, you know, this tells us it's not just about the Antichrist.
The spirit of the Antichrist is already here.
We're already seeing it.
We're already seeing the same things.
But it has been allowed for.
And most people, if you also look at Maccabees, the majority of the people went along with it.
It's always the case.
You know, when China was taken over by communists, majority become communists.
Russia, majority become Bolsheviks.
Hitler, majority become Nazis.
People are falling away from God.
The majority goes along with it.
They'll go along with it.
If you're not grounded in God, and even if you say you're a Christian, but you're not really grounded in God, you'll fall.
You'll fall.
That's why you get the Maccabees.
And the Maccabees also give you the blueprint of how to overcome, how to stand against it.
They were the ones who said, we don't care, just like what you were saying before.
Well, listen, if I lose this, if I lose this, I lose these loved ones, I lose this, I'm going to stand for God no matter what.
I don't care.
You know, it says it's for me and my house, I'm standing for God.
God Wants Us To Be Bold 00:01:52
And those are the only ones who stand in that day.
Only those who will be great.
Only those who will stand with God, they will do great and mighty things.
But the Maccabees, even in these days, God always has a witness.
God always has a people.
God always has a light shining in the darkness.
But they have to be stronger because now they don't have the culture to say, hey, great job.
Now the culture says, whatever you do, we hate you for it.
But it's that candle that burns in the night, lights up the world, lights up the world.
We have to be those candles of the night.
So God is looking, God is looking, if the whole culture is apostasizing, falling away, then we have to be those who grab hold and we're not moved.
We say, no matter what, that's what the Bible says.
I'm going with what God says, no matter what.
I'm not going to let them redefine me.
I'm going to be like Elijah.
I'm not the troubler.
You're troubling.
God is on the throne.
You're the one against God.
And so we have to be with that holy, there's a word in Hebrew, chutzpah.
Chutzpah.
Chutzpah, I don't know if a lot of people know it down here, but chutzpah means this guy's got nerves.
Well, God, there's a holy chutzpah that God honors.
God wants us to be chutzpah people.
He wants us to be stubborn people for God.
You know, Ruth had holy chutzpah.
She said, I'm not, I don't care why.
I'm not letting go.
You know, you know, you know, they all, you know, Paul had chutzpah, you know, holy chutzpah.
You know, you know, Peter, after he's out of prison, he goes right back to the Zanhedrin.
That's chutzpah.
You know, God wants us to be bold.
Let the chips fall where they may.
You know, God's going to honor the one who honors him.
And if it costs a little bit more, good.
Bring it on because God's going to anoint the one more powerfully than ever before who stands for him in a day and an age when it costs to stand for him.
That's right.
Amen.
