=== The Altar Abandoned (06:01) ===

[00:00:00]  I did a kind of investigation sharing called the pre-abomination prophecies.
[00:00:06]  And that's, I believe, one of the things you have in that set.
[00:00:10]  And so I'll just share a little bit of the revelations of what it does, but people don't realize.
[00:00:13]  Number one, before the desecration happened, before this Antichrist figure comes back then, it didn't start with the Antichrist figure.
[00:00:24]  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.
[00:00:35]  They abandoned it, and then only later does it get desecrated.
[00:00:39]  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.
[00:00:48]  It's not just that.
[00:00:49]  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.
[00:01:00]  Wow.
[00:01:00]  And so what it tells, it's not just that the end times are evil.
[00:01:04]  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.
[00:01:11]  That allows the enemy to do everything he's doing.
[00:01:15]  And you've seen when you look at what churches, did you mention the 1960s?
[00:01:19]  Well, that's also a period where many churches were going away from the word of God.
[00:01:22]  And many churches, and that's where you've got all, now they're into abominations, those same churches.
[00:01:27]  But it begins with that.
[00:01:30]  They abandoned the altar.
[00:01:31]  I'll give you an example.
[00:01:32]  I'll give you an example.
[00:01:33]  We talked about marriage today, because marriage is a sacred vessel.
[00:01:36]  We can never say how major that was, what happened less than a year ago in the Supreme Court.
[00:01:41]  But that was a desecration.
[00:01:43]  Long before that desecration happened, we, the church and America, has already been abandoning marriage.
[00:01:51]  In other words, it didn't just happen.
[00:01:53]  It was been happening for, it was leading up to it.
[00:01:55]  Example, the divorce rate we have, we've already been abandoning marriage.
[00:02:00]  Premarital sex is everywhere.
[00:02:03]  New generation, we've already been abandoning marriage.
[00:02:06]  Sexual promiscuity, abandoning adultery, abandon a culture on television that glorifies sex without marriage.
[00:02:13]  We've already been abandoning marriage.
[00:02:14]  What happened to the Supreme Court wasn't a surprise.
[00:02:16]  It was just that ceiling step.
[00:02:18]  It was the desecration.
[00:02:20]  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.
[00:02:26]  Now you have in the bathrooms, now in your locker rooms, you could have women showering with boys, all that.
[00:02:33]  Well, that was already happening.
[00:02:34]  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?
[00:02:47]  We've already been abandoning it for years.
[00:02:50]  That's the revelation.
[00:02:52]  The Antichrist doesn't just come.
[00:02:54]  He comes after it's already been prepared by the culture and even allowed by the church.
[00:02:59]  Allowed by the church.
[00:03:01]  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.
[00:03:11]  And what the principle is, God says to Israel, you're going after all the Assyrian gods, the Bible.
[00:03:15]  Well, I'm going to bring you this.
[00:03:17]  I'm going to bring them to your doorstep.
[00:03:19]  You're going after you love these things.
[00:03:20]  It's going to come back.
[00:03:21]  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?
[00:03:33]  You'll get that.
[00:03:34]  You want Islam?
[00:03:35]  You'll get Islam.
[00:03:36]  You'll get 9-11.
[00:03:38]  You want this?
[00:03:38]  You want everything but your God?
[00:03:40]  You're going to get this.
[00:03:41]  So what it's saying is that what you go after comes back at you.
[00:03:45]  And the other thing is, even when, I'm just giving you some keys from this.
[00:03:50]  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.
[00:04:04]  They led him in.
[00:04:05]  They led him into that.
[00:04:07]  So what it's saying here is that the apostasy doesn't just come.
[00:04:13]  It is prepared.
[00:04:15]  When you, Zach, you talk about, you know, what is it, 40 years, 50 years ago, we took out prayer out of school.
[00:04:21]  That wasn't the end.
[00:04:22]  That was the beginning.
[00:04:24]  We took out the Bible.
[00:04:26]  When you take away those things, it's never going to stay as a vacuum.
[00:04:29]  Take away God, other gods are coming in.
[00:04:32]  You take away good, evil's coming in.
[00:04:34]  You look at what's everything we're seeing right now, everything.
[00:04:37]  We're seeing in the school system, everything with what's happened to marriage.
[00:04:42]  It was begun then.
[00:04:43]  We allowed it.
[00:04:44]  Christians allowed it.
[00:04:46]  You know, we took it when you took out the Bible from little kids.
[00:04:50]  Well, look what you have with little kids now.
[00:04:52]  What we have replaced.
[00:04:53]  So the ultimate thing, you know, this tells us it's not just about the Antichrist.
[00:04:57]  The spirit of the Antichrist is already here.
[00:04:59]  We're already seeing it.
[00:05:00]  We're already seeing the same things.
[00:05:02]  But it has been allowed for.
[00:05:04]  And most people, if you also look at Maccabees, the majority of the people went along with it.
[00:05:09]  It's always the case.
[00:05:10]  You know, when China was taken over by communists, majority become communists.
[00:05:14]  Russia, majority become Bolsheviks.
[00:05:16]  Hitler, majority become Nazis.
[00:05:18]  People are falling away from God.
[00:05:20]  The majority goes along with it.
[00:05:21]  They'll go along with it.
[00:05:22]  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.
[00:05:28]  You'll fall.
[00:05:28]  That's why you get the Maccabees.
[00:05:30]  And the Maccabees also give you the blueprint of how to overcome, how to stand against it.
[00:05:36]  They were the ones who said, we don't care, just like what you were saying before.
[00:05:39]  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.
[00:05:44]  I don't care.
[00:05:45]  You know, it says it's for me and my house, I'm standing for God.

=== God Wants Us To Be Bold (01:52) ===

[00:05:47]  And those are the only ones who stand in that day.
[00:05:50]  Only those who will be great.
[00:05:52]  Only those who will stand with God, they will do great and mighty things.
[00:05:56]  But the Maccabees, even in these days, God always has a witness.
[00:06:00]  God always has a people.
[00:06:01]  God always has a light shining in the darkness.
[00:06:05]  But they have to be stronger because now they don't have the culture to say, hey, great job.
[00:06:10]  Now the culture says, whatever you do, we hate you for it.
[00:06:14]  But it's that candle that burns in the night, lights up the world, lights up the world.
[00:06:19]  We have to be those candles of the night.
[00:06:22]  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.
[00:06:30]  We say, no matter what, that's what the Bible says.
[00:06:33]  I'm going with what God says, no matter what.
[00:06:35]  I'm not going to let them redefine me.
[00:06:36]  I'm going to be like Elijah.
[00:06:38]  I'm not the troubler.
[00:06:38]  You're troubling.
[00:06:39]  God is on the throne.
[00:06:40]  You're the one against God.
[00:06:42]  And so we have to be with that holy, there's a word in Hebrew, chutzpah.
[00:06:47]  Chutzpah.
[00:06:48]  Chutzpah, I don't know if a lot of people know it down here, but chutzpah means this guy's got nerves.
[00:06:53]  Well, God, there's a holy chutzpah that God honors.
[00:06:57]  God wants us to be chutzpah people.
[00:07:01]  He wants us to be stubborn people for God.
[00:07:04]  You know, Ruth had holy chutzpah.
[00:07:06]  She said, I'm not, I don't care why.
[00:07:08]  I'm not letting go.
[00:07:09]  You know, you know, you know, they all, you know, Paul had chutzpah, you know, holy chutzpah.
[00:07:13]  You know, you know, Peter, after he's out of prison, he goes right back to the Zanhedrin.
[00:07:17]  That's chutzpah.
[00:07:17]  You know, God wants us to be bold.
[00:07:19]  Let the chips fall where they may.
[00:07:21]  You know, God's going to honor the one who honors him.
[00:07:24]  And if it costs a little bit more, good.
[00:07:27]  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.
[00:07:37]  That's right.
[00:07:38]  Amen.
