The Pope Is Now Going Against the Word of God

Embark on a journey of spiritual recalibration, as we promise a return to a scripture-focused dialogue in our latest podcast episode. We're bringing biblical truth to bear on the ever-changing cultural landscape, with an honest reflection on past distractions and a heartfelt commitment to our core mission. Jonathan Kahn, a Jewish believer in Jesus, graces us with his profound insights into end-time prophecies, reinforcing the role of Scripture in understanding our times and guiding our responses.

The episode takes a critical turn as we navigate the turbulent waters of Pope Francis's recent declarations and the Catholic Church's potentially evolving doctrines. Controversies abound, from the notion of blessing same-sex unions to the Pope's thought-provoking take on the Ten Commandments. This conversation isn't just about the Catholic community; it's about the seismic implications for Western civilization and the steadfast adherence to the teachings of the Bible that we hold dear.

Finally, we're reminded of the timeless parable of Noah's flood, drawing parallels to the unpredictable nature of Christ's second coming. It's a call to spiritual vigilance and moral readiness, steering clear of misguided attempts to pinpoint the date of this divine event. Through these reflections, we encourage you to find solace and inspiration as we foster a state of perpetual preparedness for the return of Jesus.

Faith and Failure Podcast.

Speaker 2: 0:05

Now I have been a seasoned. I was raised in church and there's not a whole lot of except for when you talk about end time stuff. There's not a whole lot of revelation that comes up. But we've had on this channel before a guy by the name of Jonathan Kahn. Now I want you to think about this. We're going to do a little bit of and I apologize in advance because I have in some of my live streams I have almost more platformed the videos we watch than scripture and that is my fault and I apologize. I want this to be a place where you can come and see the culture and how the Bible measures up, how the culture measures up the Bible and how we, as Christians, can apply the Word of God to the culture. So I am making an on point, on purpose adaptation back to what I originally intended before I got caught up in finding new videos for you guys.

Speaker 2: 1:06

That being said, there's a guy by the name of Jonathan Kahn. Have you all ever heard of Jonathan? So Jonathan is a. He's very, very, very, very gifted in the how would you call it like the end time stuff. So he is. He himself is Jewish, but he believes in Jesus was the one true Son of God. I think they call that a complete Jew or something like that, where they they believe that Jesus is the one true Son of God. So, that being said, he's he's very well versed. He studies the Word of God, he believes the Word of God to be the authoritative Word of God, like what the word says is what the word means. He's very gifted in taking something that you may have read your entire life in Scripture and he peels back the layers so that you can see the original text, the original meaning, the original language, and understand how it applies today. So I want to.

Speaker 2: 2:07

Actually, one of my board members sent me this video and it's a little bit longer, but I want you. Today's live stream is going to be a little bit longer. You're probably, if you are around here, you've probably snowed in, so let's just be off work and snowed in together, but let's do some biblical study. And so, after we watch videos today we're going to every single one, after we're going to look at what the Word of God says and how this applies to our life as believers. And if you don't know God, I invite you to stay and just hear what us crazy people have to say, because you might hear something that is compelling and pulls on your heart. So let's watch this.

Speaker 1: 2:42

I've addressed the president, hollywood Rolling Stone magazine, and now I need to address the Pope. What just happened?

Speaker 2: 2:49

Okay, first of all, have you guys heard of what the Pope did Like? What's going on, the big controversy with the Pope? Okay, the Roman Catholic Church, the Pope, the main guy, he is the guy. And this is the dangerous territory, and I've said this before from my pulpit. If you don't know, I'm a pastor at a church here in Longview, texas, and I've said that, like the dangers of being the guy that you make the rules instead of having wise counsel surround you and be able to have people that you can glean from that, you can learn from that. You can if you have some, and I am the pastor. So let me explain this to you my church, I am the lead pastor, which means if something goes wrong or something is said wrong or there is some sort of issue in the body, that it's my fault. At the end of the day, it's my fault.

Speaker 2: 3:39

So, that being said, there is what is called an honor culture. That makes it to where it depends on who you are, and we do this exact same thing in politics. It depends on who you are, of whether you can get away with whatever you want, and it's dangerous. There shouldn't be a person that is the guy or the woman at a church or in a body of believers that cannot be touched, cannot be corrected, cannot be brought in and questions can't be asked. That is dangerous because that is building the kingdom of man, not the kingdom of God. Because the kingdom of God, the word of God, invites us into a place where people that are believers, that are brothers and sisters in Christ, can come before each other and say if I've done you wrong, please forgive me, or hey, maybe you need to look at this because I think this might be wrong. It's okay to be challenged in the church. That's not church hurt. That's called biblical correction. Okay, so just because you're being corrected does not mean you're in the middle of church hurt. But correction does hurt. If it doesn't sting a little bit, you will not be prompted to actually correct anything that's in your life that is wrong, and so there shouldn't be a person like the Pope that, like he, can change whatever he wants, like he's doing we're going to watch this, he can change anything he wants and everything is good and nobody can really say anything because he's the guy. Okay, that is unbiblical, that is wrong. Only God is to be the head, only Jesus is to be over and what they say, what God says, what the Spirit of God says. That's it. So, that being said, if God calls it sin, it is sin. It doesn't matter your feelings, it doesn't matter. Actually, you know what I meant to say this when we got started.

Speaker 2: 5:29

So listen to this. I saw this on Instagram A church that will not confront sin will eventually end up conforming to sin. I want you to look at something else, too, that I posted on my Instagram. I want you to listen to this very carefully, because there's going to be a lot of people out there people out there right now that are trying to do nothing, but oh, god's going to bless you, god's going to do this, god's going to do that, and there's no correction that comes out of their mouth, and it's just prosperity nonsense, which will lead you. The path to that is broad, and it will lead you directly to hell. So, if you want to hear more from God, listen to this In this year.

Speaker 2: 6:09

Step one stop talking. For me, that's a big deal. Step two start listening. So when your mouth closes, make sure your ears are open. Step three reduce Now. I know we're on social media right now, so just listen to me Taking in good content and good things, but we live in a day of scrolling, okay, which means we just flip through, we're just flipping our thumbs and we're just going through and we're consuming things that have no substance, and so we end up being people not full of substance because of what we are consuming. There's no sustenance in the things that we're consuming. So step three reduce social media presence so that you can spend more time in his presence Talking about God.

Speaker 2: 6:53

Step number four stop making excuses for not going to church. Some of you right now still have an issue going to church. Since COVID, you have used COVID as a catalyst to make sure that you don't have to go back and do what anybody else says. You don't have to answer to anybody. You're living an unbiblical life. Whether you say you love or know God, you are living an unbiblical life. You need to stop making excuses and do the work it takes to find a good, healthy, bible believing, spirit filled, because God is spirit. So if the spirit has not filled that place, god's spirit does not rest there. We are only as strong as the people we surround ourselves with. That's why God tells us to not forsake the assembly.

Speaker 2: 7:34

Step five stop praying. Stop talking to God Only when you need something. Imagine in any other relationship, and with God it should be a relationship. Imagine if any other relationship. We addressed them in our lives that way. We only spoke to them when we needed them. It would not be a relationship.

Speaker 2: 7:55

Step six stop allowing toxic people to dictate who you are. I myself have allowed people who have no right to speak into my life to speak into my life and it was making a literal hell on earth for me because I would not cut those ties. I felt like I was going to be mean or hurt their feelings, or a Christian should be able to blah, blah, blah. You can add whatever and fill in the gap with however you want, but eventually it's going to be poisoned to your very soul. Cut those ties and let them drift off into their nonsense. Step seven is start living life according to scripture, not to your feelings. We do this often. We read scripture, we go to church, we allow things to come into our lives and we filter it through how we feel and then we try to apply it. That's not biblical. There's no feelings in the Bible that are yours. You read the text, you listen to the text, you apply the text. That being said, let's go on with Pope Francis and Jonathan Cahn.

Speaker 1: 9:07

It's ramifications for the future, even for the end times. I don't have a choice. This is to all of you who watch my messages, and to you who are Catholic and those who are not Catholic. Send it to your Catholic friends and, for that matter, to your non-Catholic friends. This is Jonathan Cahn, first to know. As more and more people watch this channel, there are all sorts of fake Jonathan Cahn sites springing up like mushrooms.

Speaker 1: 9:28

Last year drew to a close. Something seismic happened, the repercussions of which are going to be felt for years. For many of you, this is your wake-up call. The Pope, the head of the Catholic Church, the one whom Catholic doctrine says is the vicar of Christ, messiah's representative on earth, decreed that the Catholic Church is now to give its blessings to same-sex unions. After nearly 2,000 years of designating such things as grievous sin, which has been the stand of Christianity for 2,000 years, the Pope has decided that the Catholic Church is now going to bless these unions. The official Catholic doctrine on such matters is that they are quote intrinsically disordered, contrary to natural law, grave depravity. Under no circumstances can they be approved or blessed. Now the Church is going to bless what it says is intrinsically disordered and grave depravity.

Speaker 2: 10:24

This is the danger. This is why no one in the Church should be allowed to manipulate Scripture to fit an agenda, because then it's no longer Scripture, then it's man-made and if we make it into what we want instead of what the Scripture of the text says and it's dangerous, it's no longer a biblical Church when you have someone changing Scripture and fitting a narrative that they want to be their own truth, so to speak.

Speaker 1: 10:53

By the decree of Pope Francis. The Catholic Church's last major statement on the issue said God cannot bless sin, but now the Pope has declared that the Catholic Church apparently can bless sin. As believers, we are to love all people and, in all situations, pray for them. That includes everyone and everyone involved in such things.

Speaker 2: 11:14

Now that's another good point. So, as he said here, pray for them. Now, think about this. So we had a few weeks ago in our Church a demonic kind of uprising it was a little bit like in the back room and it just so happened manifested there.

Speaker 2: 11:27

And one of the things that I feel we forget to do, especially when we talk about political people that we don't like or we hear about political agendas and ideologies, is that we forget that the people tied to those things are people that need salvation. They are people that need deliverance, like we oftentimes will take the evil that they're doing, and we forget to pray for deliverance and their souls. We have to remember and this is why this is where Jesus, all the time, when he would heal, when he would cast out demons, when he would do all these things that to everybody else's eyes didn't make a whole lot of sense, he would look past the affliction, he would look past the possession and he would see a person that needed deliverance. And so, as we see, this pope that is just doing a bunch of nonsense. He's bending the culture like a while ago not too long ago, I don't think, but he invited some transgender people or something to eat and then people that are Catholic are like, well, he's just being the hands and feet of Jesus. No, he was inviting the devil to sit at his table and now we're seeing the effects of that. There was a Christian agenda that was kind of coming to light and nobody would accept it.

Speaker 2: 12:50

And there's probably people right now going to watch this video later and they'll be like you're just saying that because you're a hater and you you're not supposed to judge. Actually, the Bible gives precedent for me to be able to judge and do it biblically and be right. So, that being said, pray for the center. I preached this last Sunday, if you're watching live right now. I preached this last Sunday talking about the gift of miracles and that Jesus would perform miracles and healings, being moved with compassion. We've got to get back to the simple truth that God desires for the non-believer, for the unbeliever, to become a believer. We've lost that in the church and we get so high and mighty like we're the ones that have saved ourself. We're the ones that have done something to earn God's grace and mercy. But it's not by us, but it's by God's grace and mercy that we are saved, that we are redeemed, that we are transformed, so we should come from a place of humility to pray for those who are doing wrong.

Speaker 1: 13:48

It's written, such for some of you, we're all in the same boat. But that's not what this is saying. This is not about praying for individuals or showing them God's love. This is about the Pope telling the Catholic Church it is now going to give its blessing on same-sex couples, a same-sex union.

Speaker 1: 14:05

Now, from the start, I have nothing personally against the Pope. If he lived next door to me I'm sure he'd be a nice neighbor. But this is not about a person. It's about what he did as someone who bears the title vicar or representative of Christ Messiah to the world. As far as the former statement of the Catholic office of doctrine that said God cannot bless sin, the Pope in effect fired that man who was in charge of that and replaced him with a friend who was willing to issue this new directive. The statement doesn't even specify couples who are celibate. So these are undoubtedly people who are presently engaging in what Catholic doctrine defines as sexual immorality and grave depravity. Now, if they who are sleeping together in such unions are to be blessed by the church, then certainly heterosexual couples who are sleeping together or in what the Bible says fornication, must also be blessed by the church.

Speaker 2: 15:00

And this is what the problem is like people stacking the deck in an organization so that everyone becomes a yes man. Everybody agrees. There's no backlash, there's no conflict, there's no pushback. It's just if I say something, then it is true. If I say something, then you better fall in line type scenario and it is dangerous. It's no longer a biblical church, it's no longer a biblical organization.

Speaker 1: 15:25

And what, then, is to stop the church from having a blessing ceremony for couples in adultery? They can say well, that's a sin against marriage. But so is this. Pope Francis and his leadership has said it's about inclusion and progressing. It's about being loving. No, it's not about inclusion or loving. We are to love and reach out with the love of God to everyone. But this is something else. What is it? I'll tell you what it is in one word. The word appears in the Bible. It's called apostasy. This is the Pope's great moment of apostasy. It's a watershed moment, it's a red flag moment, a milestone for Catholicism and even for Western civilization. Now, if you were watching closely, you could see it coming. This is the same Pope who warned Christians against sin no, idolatry, no evil, no. He warned Christians against quote rigidity of ready the 10 commandments, against being too set on the 10 commandments. So which of the 10 commandments must we not become?

Speaker 2: 16:28

too set on. Think about what the 10 commandments are as we're watching this. If you're saying some need to be not so paid attention to, then the house of cards begin to fall.

Speaker 1: 16:41

Having other gods, idols, coveting, adultery, murder. Which ones exactly should we become less strong about? The Pope went on to say that God gives us the freedom to search our own conscience for commandments. Really, so that thing that happened on Mount Sinai with Moses was a mistake. So Moses should have come down from the mountain and told the Israelites I have these 10 commandments in stone, but don't get too set on them. Search your own conscience for your own commandments and if your conscience says adultery is OK, go for it. Other gods, more power to you Worshiping a golden calf, as you're doing right now. God bless you, or may the golden calf bless you.

Speaker 1: 17:21

Pope Francis said that someone who holds strongly to such things as the 10 commandments has something wrong with them. Does that include Jesus? Because, as far as I know, Jesus was pretty set on them. The Pope went on to say that the 10 commandments are not a gift from God. Really. Well then, who gave them? Did they descend to Sinai from a spaceship? He goes on to say that, while the 10 commandments are not a gift from God, the Beatitudes are because, quote they make you feel good Aliens.

Speaker 2: 17:49

I knew it Called it.

Speaker 1: 17:51

The Beatitudes are part of a sermon in which the Lord Messiah said if you even look at a woman in lust, you're committing adultery. It's hyper-10 commandments. I mean, a 10-year-old Sunday school student would know that. But the Pope apparently did not read that far into it and he said this I always try to understand what's behind people who are too young to have seen Moses walk down from Mount Sinai with the 10 commandments and yet they still want to obey them. Did he actually say that? What is that? They shouldn't follow the 10 commandments because the commandments came a while back. If you weren't there, it doesn't count. Forget about them. If you're not over 3,000 years old, don't worry about it.

Speaker 2: 18:30

Mr, the fallacy in that is that they don't apply that to anything else. It's like when you speak out against LGBTQ, whatever a plus, and people get upset. We have to remember to not we're not speaking against the people, we're speaking against the sin, and that God loves the people. He desires for them to turn from the wicked ways. Just like all of us who are serving God faithfully had to once turn from our wicked ways, Some of us daily have to turn from our wicked ways so that we do not sin against God.

Speaker 1: 19:04

Now, it's not that the Ten Commandments save us Messiah does. But is it okay to commit adultery now, apparently? It's okay to commit grave depravity. And if you throw the Ten Commandments out, then you throw everything out, because, as far as I know, the Bible came out before most of us were born, as did the Beatitudes. In fact, I believe Jesus came out before we were born, so we're not supposed to follow Him. This is not an accident.

Speaker 1: 19:29

Right after he issued the directive to bless same-sex unions, pope Francis issued this directive. Listen, let us remain vigilant against sin. No darkness, no apostasy. No, let us remain vigilant against rigid there's that word again ideological positions, meaning positions from the Word of God. And he goes on under the guise of good intentions, guise that means that those who uphold the Word of God well, it's that they don't really have good intentions. It's only a guise. They have evil intentions. This is also not an accident because, though he speaks as if his directives are for mercy and inclusivity, he has spoken of those who hold to the Bible or who are conservative as evil. So it's not just don't hold firmly to the Word of God, but that those who do hold firmly or strongly to God's Word are actually evil. He goes on holding to such positions, meaning biblical positions. Quote separate us from reality and prevent us from moving forward. So, according to the Pope, holding to the Word of God separates us from reality and prevents us from moving forward, moving forward into what it has to be, moving forward away from the positions of the Word of God. If moving forward means moving forward off a cliff, then I don't want to be part of that forward moving movement, because it's not really forward, it's downward.

Speaker 1: 20:53

He goes on to say we are called instead to set out and journey like the Magi, following the light that always desires to lead us on, at times along unexplored paths and new roads. So the Pope is saying that we are to now go on a quote new road, which means a road that's new to thousands of years of the New Testament and Judeo-Christian faith. That means different. He says we have to go on a path that has been unexplored, meaning in the thousands of years of biblical faith, or in other words, unbiblical and unbiblical road, and he frames it as taking up the journey of the Magi. Now that sounds nice.

Speaker 1: 21:28

What could be wrong with that? Well, for one thing, the Magi were pagan. Christians are not supposed to be pagan. The Pope is not supposed to be pagan. The Magi were pagan astrologers searching open to God in His revelation. It led them to Jesus, the Bible says. Then God spoke to them in a dream, so then they received the word. Then they needed to follow the word. If we've received God and the word, then we are not supposed to be open to following that which departs from the word and God, but to hold to it and not proceed toward paganism.

Speaker 2: 22:00

And that's the danger of the Christian culture. Allowing culture to come into the church is that we end up forming or being a church that has twisted to fit the mold of the culture and we have tried to make God in the image of man. That's exactly what's being done. We're trying to make instead of a top-down scenario, so it's not God telling us and we conform to our maker, but now it is us who tries to make ourselves the maker and we try to make him conform to us.

Speaker 1: 22:37

What does the Bible say? The apostle says this in 2 Thessalonians 2, let nobody deceive you in any way, for it will not come the day of the Lord unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the Son of Destruction. Before the Lord comes, there must first be a great apostasy. That's biblical prophecy. The word apostasy comes from the Greek apostosia, to fall away from one stand. Let me say that again to fall away or depart from one stand. This is now the Catholic Church under the Pope, falling away from its own stand, from the biblical stand on sexual morality.

Speaker 1: 23:15

If someone is in a sin, that the Bible says will exclude them from salvation, eternal life and lead them to judgment. If you love them, you don't bless their sin. You don't sanctify their state of sin, because that's leading them to judgment. You share with them the truth in love and do everything you can to bring them to God and His will. No matter what this document from the Pope is saying, it's blessing the sin. It's communicating to the Catholic Church and Lens that it's okay If somebody is suffering from a fatal disease that's destroying them and you know the cure and you can tell them about it, but you don't. Instead, you bless their disease, their state of disease. You're not loving them. You're hating them Because instead of bringing them life, you're consigning them to death. Any sin that would keep somebody from salvation in everlasting life is fatal. If I don't give them the medicine, but encourage them to stay in that state of dying, I'm not loving them. I am hating them. It'd be the same if the Pope were now to say I'm going to bless couples in adultery.

Speaker 2: 24:16

Forget about what meant which will be the next step. I mean, there's no way around that. Surprise that this is the step in that direction instead of the other way around, and it's saying what does the Word of God say?

Speaker 1: 24:27

The Word of God is very clear. For example, in 1 Corinthians 6, it says this Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? And it says the habitually drunk, verbal abusers, swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. And to put it into modern terms, it says and those practicing same-sex sexuality? That is the Word of God. Then it goes on to say Such were some of you, but you were cleansed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, yeshua the Messiah and in the spirit of our God.

Speaker 1: 25:09

But now that the Catholic Church is saying you have our blessing in that state and actually in that union, well, those people are not going to be cleansed or saved. What you're doing is blessing them into hell and the idea that the Pope really didn't change anything. That's just semantics, that's sophistry. If you have to spend 5,000 words to try to argue that nothing has changed, you can be sure that everything has changed. It's like saying we're still against slavery, but now we're going to have a special ceremony to bless slave owners. They're going to come into the church with a slave in chains and we're going to bless that union and the culture is not going to be reading that document anyway. They're just going to be seeing same-sex couples being blessed in Catholic churches. The Pope has opened up the floodgates, and once you open up the floodgates, don't expect that you'll be able to close them.

Speaker 2: 25:59

And you can never put that water back in there either. It is impossible, once you open that dam, to put the water that passes through back on the other side. You can't, and that is how it is pointing us to the end times, these things right here, the dams are breaking or they're being lifted and they're allowing things that should not be to come in existence or to be allowed or be okayed now to be sanctioned and affirming Once you can bless what you yourself have called sin and disordered against natural law and grave depravity, you can and will bless anything.

Speaker 1: 26:40

What will stop there from being ceremonies and blessings for those committing fornication? What about ceremonies and blessings for those living in polygamy? What about ceremonies for a father and daughter involved in incest?

Speaker 2: 26:51

You see how the domino effect keeps going and going and going when you start blessing things that are so outright called sin, and you can back up a thousand feet. It's sexual immorality, it is sin, it is wrong. So you can watch the rest of the video, but I just wanted to kind of touch on that a little bit. I wanted to go over to Let me see. I got here Now. I wanted to look at Matthew, chapter 24. This is coming from the New Living Translation.

Speaker 2: 27:18

I read from the New Living Translation at my church. The reason I do that is because it's usually in a framing where anybody can understand it. And to me, that is the point. I don't study and try to do King James, just to make myself feel smarter, so, or to show other people how smart I am, because I know that I'm dumb, but God uses me anyways. Come on somebody, alright.

Speaker 2: 27:41

So then, if anyone tells you, look, here is the Messiah or there he is, don't believe it, for false Messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God's chosen ones. See, I have warned you about this ahead of time. So if someone tells you, look, the Messiah is out in the desert. Don't bother to go and look or look. He is hiding there. Sorry, hiding here. Don't believe it. For as the lightning flashes in the east and shines to the west, so it will be when the Son of man comes. Just as the gathering of vultures show, there is a carcass nearby. So these signs indicate that the end is near. Immediately After the anguish of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will give no light, the stars will fall from the sky and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. And then, at last, the sign of the Son of man.

Speaker 2: 28:49

When it says the Son of man in the Bible is talking about Jesus. He even refers to himself as that. When he's talking to other people, he says the Son of man has come, the Son of man is coming and will appear in the heavens, and this is talking about the second coming of the Lord. And there will be a deep morning among all of the peoples of the earth and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory, and he will send out his angels with the mighty blast of a trumpet and they will gather his chosen ones from all over the world, from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven. Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches bud and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near. In the same way it's so cool, jesus, always he made it so simple. In the same way, when you see all these things, you can know his return is very near, right at the door. I tell you the truth this generation will not pass from the scene until all things take place. Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear. However, no one knows the day or the hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows. So if you ever hear somebody YouTube, prophets are really good at this they try to say, well, god's gonna do this and do that and and this, because it rhymes and the Jewish calendar that is. That is Christian astrology pretty much, and it's witchcraft. So run.

Speaker 2: 30:21

When the Son of man returns, it will be like it was in the days of Noah. So if you remember, in the days of Noah, at Genesis, chapter 6, there's Nephilim and then it goes. I'm dropping that one in there because it still puzzles me. There are sin, sinful people everywhere. There's just nothing but sin. No one will turn to God.

Speaker 2: 30:42

Everyone is their own Savior and even Noah tried to warn them when he was building a boat. I mean, this guy's building it out in the middle of dry, cracked land and saying that it's about to flood and they're like, well, how's it gonna flood, how's this gonna happen? He was saying what God said. He was telling them the end is coming and they would not listen. The end is coming and people are not going to listen. They're gonna think we're crazy. They're gonna think we just believe in a bunch of nonsense. I thought about doing like a small little segment one day, just reading the, the comments from people who are commenting so mean and rude. But if they're commenting on a video, that also means they're watching and I pray God penetrates their heart, the hardest of hearts, and finds them in a place where they have no choice but to turn to the Lord.

Anyways, so in those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings, right up to the time Noah entered his boat and Noah had already told them, but they were continuing on as if life was normal just another day. People didn't realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of man comes. Two men will be working in the field. One will be taking the other left. Two men will be grinding flour at the meal. One will be taking the other left. So you too must keep watch, for you don't know what day your Lord is coming. Understand this if a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would keep watch and not permit his house to be broken into. You also must be ready at all all the time, for the Son of man will come when you least expect it.

A faithful, sensible servant is one to whom the master can give the responsibility of managing his own household, his other household servants, and feeding them. If the master returns and finds that the servant has done a good job, there will be a reward. I tell you the truth. The master will put that servant in charge of all that he owns. But what if the servant is evil and thinks my master won't come back for a while and he begins beating the other servants, partying and getting drunk?

Speaker 2: 32:52

The master will return unannounced and unexpected, and he will cut the servant to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. So there's a time where God is going to come and there will not be a pronouncement of when it will be. There's nobody who's going to be able to know. There's people who's going to try to prophesy in this new year where the Lord's coming back in this day, because the Jewish calendar is doing this and this says this and it's leading up to this. It's this many years since this, but they will not know and they will look like fools. But rest assured, jesus is coming back soon.
