We start by getting into what is in store for Israel, and it's more than you would expect. And first we have a letter from Dr. Dan in LA, telling us there are people out there claiming that Paul is the Antichrist. And we have a lot of this kind of stupidity going on right now. When will the Russians and Iranians and others rise up and attack Israel? So, we go to the fig tree. Israel reconstituted as a nation, and we know that the time of the Gentiles is close to an end. Luke 21:24. But is God going to do this before He takes the church or after, or is it simultaneous. During the Tribulation the Demons are with Satan in their wanting to kill as many as possible. Because they know what makes God weep. The wicked one thinks he can change God's mind. Hurting God is their strategy. They believe God is an idiot. Okay... that's just the first twenty minutes of the lecture, and there's much I left out. Our pastor has been asked about the intermediate state. And a lot of people do not believe that animals have the spirit of life. There are billions of living souls that have entered the intermediate state. Psalms 104 and more. Luke 3:6. There's not going to be resurrected any new people and animals because it's restoration. Revelation 7:9 gives us a good understanding. There are 5 resurrections in the first resurrection. This gets really good. What is the Household Doctrine? No room to explain here but it has to do with the Sabbath Rest... and animals. And we conclude with how Gethsemane refutes Calvinism and their insistence on Predestination. God is broken hearted... and therefore there is no predestination of those who are saved and those who are not. We're back, April 7

A lecture given at a conference in Pau, France on the glorious Future of the Church. The Lecture was translated into French by Paul Pontacq.

Do you have "the ear of the wise" seeking knowledge? Are you ready to hear? Too many are not but we are challenged to make sure that we are among the wise and not the foolish. Also Reference: Proverbs 11:14, Proverbs 24:6, Acts 17:11, Revelation 2:29, Romans 10:17 https://bbfohio.com

lecture given at Christ Church Academy www.christchurchacademy.org

"John bare witness of Him (Christ) and cried..." John did not teach or lecture about Jesus being the Lamb of God, He "cried." We find that in his earthly ministry Jesus "cried" different times when He spoke to the people and when He hung on the cross.. The Old Testament prophets "cried." In Revelation the angels "cried" when making their announcements of woe. Our witness for the Lord should have a cry in it. When a man truly has a message from God there will be more in his voice than intellectual ramblings, jokes, and entertainment. Listen for the cry!

We start today's lecture with a gift... of sorts. It's a Joel Osteen box. And pastor is now telling us what he thinks about his type of preaching. Joel... no, not that Joel. The writer of the Book of Joel... found in the Bible... discusses hidden manna. Why is it hidden? It's the secret name. Who is it given to in Revelation 2:17? Those who overcome. John 6:32-35 tells us that Christ is the hidden manna. He gives you a white stone along with a new name. Jesus Christ Himself gets to define what Living means, and only He is qualified to see who believes Him. He also assigns to those who reject their creator, their place. They are dead... as He defines dead. Jesus is in the present, and He sees everything that happens, everything that exists... the stars also. He names every star. He names everything. We're talking about a mind that is outside of time and He can see everything. We get into a discussion of Super Determinism... there is no free will, and the churches today are grabbing on to this. But there are prominent physicists who will tell the truth. Let's find out what God thinks of this type of thought with Genesis 3. And now we're back into a discussion of death and dying. If you have a beginning and an end, then you don't have life. The other religions will tell you that you don't have existence. Only Christianity teaches what Life is. Death has no ability to destroy your existence or your soul. So, what is being taught by God with what we see, and we can see that we are ageing. If death is not real, is ageing real? There's no ageing system in the Millennium. Either you die at age 100 or you live without ageing. Why is that? Come and join us. Press play.

We start off with Genesis 9 and the Noahic Covenant and we're comparing it to the Exodus, because we have the same word for cloud in both passages, Exodus 14:19. The fulfilment of the separation of the light from the darkness prophecy is in Revelation. It's important that the Bible describes color in the cloud. The Noahic Covenant is everlasting and it has color and it is for animals and it is for humanity. And we know that by page two of our pastor's lectures a large portion of the audience is comatose. Now what's involved in this color God puts in the Noahic Covenant also is consciousness and Resurrection and to infinity. God is looking at the colors in the cloud, because He's in the cloud. He is saying to us, He wants to look at the color because He wants to be reminded of the spectrum of His covenant. Experiencing color is accomplishing something, because physicists insist that color is an illusion. The evolutionists, the atheists insist that consciousness is a lie, an illusion. The contemporary church doesn't understand the relationship between free will and consciousness. Why does God choose color as the promise of His covenant? The covenant is for humans and animals because both man and animals can see and perceive color. God knows that animals can see color... What is the implication of that? And scientists believe that free will is an illusion and consciousness does not exist... and color does not exist. If colors do not exist in the physical reality, where does it exist? If it's not in the physical, it must be in our consciousness. God is the first consciousness and He is Amazing! But, there's more! So, open your TextBook and press play!

We start today's lecture with a question from Kathleen about the Nephilim. So, we hope you'll enjoy the answer. We go back to a question that Anna asked, "Why can't we see the spiritual realm?" This is Job 1-2, along with other scriptures. It starts off with God asking Satan a question. Have you considered my servant Job? He says, there is none like Job on earth. The question is, "Does Job have free will?" Satan accuses God of protecting Job. He's saying to God, if you take away his protection, Job will hate you. So, the hedge around Job is the issue. Now, this hedge is a protective veil. This veil is what keeps us from seeing the spiritual realm. And now we combine that with Genesis 6 and the havoc that the Angelic realm is doing with the Human Kingdom and the Animal Kingdom. They experimented with the animals first. And we move on to Lazarus and the rich Pharisee (and BTW, the Pharisee's hate dogs). Bringing us to Genesis 1:30, where Adam and Eve are given authority over the Living Soul animals. God says, these animals are they in which there is a living soul. We don't get to see a living soul leave the animal or human body... Why is that? How fast can the Angels move and carry a soul to heaven? And that gives us "instant heaven for children and animals". So, let's look at Revelation 4:1-2, where John is taken into the throne room of heaven. The travel time is instantaneous... and that's why we cannot see the spirit leave the body. Light travels instantly when it's outside of time. But what about the unsaved? Will they instantly be in hell? Why are people and Angels together in hell? There's more, but now it's time for you to press play.
