Now, the thing about soul sleep, let me first talk to you, show you a little bit here on Wikipedia and kind of show a difference between a spirit and a soul, because a lot of people have questions about this, and there's still going to be doctrinal disagreement, I'm sure, but, I mean, I'm going off of this basic, I agree with this basic definition here, the soul, and this is what we read on Wikipedia, in many religious and philosophical traditions, the soul is the non-material essence of a person, which includes one's identity, personality and memories, and e-material aspect of essence of a living being that is believed to be able to survive physical death. Now, and you can see the illustration here that they show you, there we go, of a individual's soul being lifted up, so you could see that the person is dead, and the soul is retaining some sort of memory, consciousness as it lifts up. The modern English noun, souls derived from Old English, several, the earliest attestations reported in the Oxford English Dictionary are from the 8th century, and in King Alfred's translation of, you can see right there, it is used to refer to the e-material spiritual or thinking aspect of a person, right, so as contrasted with the person's physical body. So let's jump over here and look at spirit really quickly, I won't go too much into this. In philosophy and religion, spirit is the vital principle or animating essence within humans, or in some of you's all living souls, although views of spirit vary between different belief systems, and we don't need to go into all of those. When spirit is contrasted with the soul, the former is often seen as a basic natural force, principle or substance, wherein the later is used to describe the organized structure of an individual being's consciousness, all right. So when we talk about soul sleep, we are stating that the non-material essence of an individual, your identity, who you are, your memories, your consciousness, it goes to sleep, right? No, the problem is that if you go down, you go to, down any kind of Google search, right, and you're just going to see all these ministries pop up and they're saying, "No, soul sleep isn't real, it's all just metaphor." Every time you see passages in scripture where it says the person goes to sleep, "Oh, that's all metaphor. Well, what is it a metaphor for?" Well, it's the person's body that is asleep, but they're not asleep, and it's really so, it's like when my body goes to sleep at night, I'm walking around getting groceries, and we're talking like astral projection here, what's going on. It's not a perfect picture. I'm not 100% soul sleeper myself, okay? I'm going to show you passages in scripture, I'm going to go through a lot of scripture tonight. I'm going to show you passages where it does imply that the person goes down for the count, and then there are other passages where they are kind of active in their death, and if I could sum this up really quickly, is that what soul sleep is essentially like is if everybody could imagine two scenarios in your life. You've had a really terrible night of sleep, and you've had a very good night of sleep. Imagine if you worked really hard all day, and you're just, you hit that pillow, and you're out, and then you wake up refreshed in the morning, and the sun is hitting your face, and you hear a rooster crowing, and you're like, wow, I slept through the whole night, that was really good. Then you have another night of sleep where it's just you're plagued with nightmares, and you're tossing and turning, and maybe you have sleep paralysis. I don't really know, there's all sorts of things going on, and you wake up, and you're just, that was exhausting, and it's just, it's a nightmare-ish night, right? That's what we're going to be looking at tonight, the two types of soul sleepers. So let's get, let's get right into this, starting with Paul, 1 Corinthians 15. This is what most people are going to be familiar with in Canon. For what I received, I pass on to you as a first importance, that Mashiach, that would be Messiah, or Christ, died for our sins according to the scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the 12. After that, he appeared to more than 500 of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though, have somehow fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, I'd be Yakov, then to all the apostles, and last of all, he appeared to me also as to one abnormally born. So, again, most people are going to read this. So, he's just being metaphorical to sappy, hallmark card, okay, well, we'll be looking at where Paul's actually getting his sources from tonight. And of course, Peter says the same thing, he says this in 2 Peter 3, 4, know this first of all, that in the last days, mockers will come with their mocking following after their own lust, and saying, "Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things continued just as they were from the beginning of creation." So, now we have two instances of those who have fallen asleep. We see that those of the fig tree generation, or the 70 AD generation, that the 40 years between the resurrection to the destruction of the temple in 70 AD, that there were those who were falling asleep at that time. There was the promise of the glorious appearing for that generation. Some of them didn't make it, they fell asleep. Now we see an instance of, since the beginning of time, the fathers, I mean, we're talking about the patriarchs, we're talking about Abraham now, we're talking about, yeah, Kove and Yitzhak, Isaac and Jacob, they're falling asleep, they've fallen asleep, David fell asleep. Here we see Psalms 139, and as we go through this tonight, we're going to see more and more firm, we're going to get a clearer picture of what's going on. I think hopefully everyone's going to walk away from this going, yeah, it's not a metaphor. What death is, death in your sleep are interchangeable. To the ancients, the idea of sleeping was the same thing. When you dream in your sleep, it's comparable to death itself, it's a death experience. You're looking into the supernatural, like dreams are looking into the supernatural realm. Adonai, or Yahwah, you have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I get up, you understand my thought from far away. You scrutinize my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways, even before there is a word on my tongue behold, Yahwah, you know it all. Now, for those of you who are new to this channel, there are many different ways to pronounce the Lord. I don't need to go into the fact that his name has been stripped from canon some 7,000 times. That should bother everybody. Like, if everyone's like, eh, if anyone out there's like, eh, right now, then just search yourself on that and go, this is the name of your God and, you know, things are important. But, you know, there are different ways to pronounce it, Yahwah, Yahwah, Yahweh, I prefer the Paleo version, Yahwah, behold, Yahwah, you know it all. You have encircled me behind and in front and place your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me. It is too high. I cannot comprehend it. Where can I go from your spirit or your ruach or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there. If I make my bed and sheal behold, you are there. So now we have an instance of not just going to sleep, but comparing your actual bed to death. And I just stated that to the ancients, going to sleep in your bed is comparable to lying down in death. Acts 13, 36, we see another incidence of this. For David, after he had served allahayam's purpose, allahayam is the Paleo version of the Hebrew Elohim. And of course, Elohim means God. So for David, after he had served God's purpose or allahayam's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep and was buried among his fathers and underwent decay. So what is it there is saying there is it saying his body fell asleep, and that's what decay. No, his body is separate. His body is decayed, but he himself, his very essence, his soul has fallen asleep. Acts 7, 60 says this. They went on stoning Stephen so we could get the context here, right? Stephen is being stoned as he called on Yahuwah and said, Adonai Yahuushah received my ruach. Then he fell on his knees and cried out with a loud voice, Adonai, do not hold the sin against them. Being said this, he fell asleep. That's a nice way to die if you're being stoned. Let me tell you, I can think of a many terrible ways to die and just put me to sleep, Lord. I want to hit that pillow and be out. Matthew 9 says this, "When Yahuwah," and of course, we can say Yeshua, this is of course would be the Hebrew name. When Yahuwah came into the official's house and saw the flute players in the crowd in noisy disorder, he said, "Leave, for the girl has not died but is asleep," and they began laughing at him. Apparently, I've been mocked for my view of soul sleep, but apparently he was too, so I'm in good company. They were laughing at Messiah for claiming that she was asleep. Death and sheal seven realizations. I'm going to the big guns first. I'm going to second Ezra's. This is what sells me on it. In fact, second Ezra's vision of death is it's mind-blowing, it's the nail in the coffin for me, no pun intended, and let's see what it says here. If you pull away any visual tonight on sheal and soul sleep, this is what I want you to walk away with, now a word about death. When the final sentence goes forth from the most high that a person should die, it's not interesting too. It's like you can't add a day to your life. There's a sentence that actually goes forth from the most high. There's nothing you can do about it, nothing at all. When the spirit recedes from the body so that it may be sent again to him who gave it, that's an exciting thought, our very spirit, Aruach, which is separate from the soul again, our spirit is on loan from Yahuwah. He breathes into Adam, and he breathes his spirit in Adam, and this spirit passes down to each of us, and that's so exciting, isn't it, that our spirit originates with him. The first thing is to stand in awe before the glory of the most high. If the spirit belongs to one of those who showed contempt and didn't keep the most high's way, what is the most high's way, it's the Torah. If it was one of those who despised his Torah, who hates those who fear Allahaykum, so he's despising the Torah, and now he hates those who fear God, Allahaykum, what are the people who feared him doing to keeping the Torah, and so this person is now contemptuous, he hates those who keep the Torah. These spirits don't go into their dwellings, but will immediately wander about in torments. These individuals who hated the Torah and those who kept the Torah, they're going to wander the earth as ghost in torments. They will constantly grieve and be sorrowful for seven reasons. The first reason, because they despise the Torah of the most high, what is the Torah? The Torah is the five books of Moses, it is the instructions in righteous living. Yeah, Hwaha has told us, these are what I want you to do if you're in a covenant relationship with me and the eternal. It's not just for the Jews, it's for anyone who is grafted in, it is anyone who is genetically or spiritually grafted into my family. This is for all time, it is the law of heaven, you know, keep the Sabbath days, a big one, that's the fourth commandment. So because they despise the Torah of the most high. The second reason, because they can't now effectively change their hearts and lives so that they might live. Of course, what is life, it is what is the tree of life, well the tree of life is wisdom and what is wisdom, it's Torah, it's a big circular argument. The third reason, because they will see the reward laid up for those who have believed the most high testimony. That's interesting. The most high testimonies. This is the word of God, this is the Bible, right? The Torah. The first five books. The fourth reason, because they will consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. That's interesting. Now, I'm not going to be talking about, I am an annihilationist and I believe that there is an eventual end, an end all like death is death and the crazy is like irrevocable. There is a death that's coming, that once that person is taken out of the book of life, it's like they never were and they can never come back ever again. I mean, it's horrible, but I'll be talking about torments. I do believe that there is torment, I just don't believe it's eternal. But they will consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. The fifth reason, because they will see the dwelling places of others guarded by angels in great silence. What a beautiful picture. Think of like you going to like a cemetery, like one of those, oh, like a crypt or something like that. You have all these niches and you have this like reverence silence in there because there's all these dead people. I just walked through Arlington Cemetery a couple of weeks ago and you just have this reverent silence for all these people who died in battle. And that's really exciting thought that these angels guard the dwelling places of those sleeping, of the righteous and shiel, and it's this silence, there's this respect for the dead. The sixth reason, because they see the torment coming upon them from now on. The seventh reason, which keep in mind, so there's a torment laid up for them at the end, but there's a torment from now on, and this is why soul sleep is kind of a, there's a lot of moving pieces to it. And I think that this torment that is talking about for the most part with some exceptions is just this rancid night of sleep, just nightmares, constant nightmares, like, you know, the Torah continues teaching those who learn from it in this lifetime, and if you have forsaken it in this life, it will forsake you in the next. The seventh reason, which is greater than all the previously mentioned reasons, because they will melt away in confusion and be consumed in disgrace. Confusion's kind of interesting. That's one of YAH's favorite battle tactics. They will wither in fear when they see the glory of the most high, before whom they sin when they were alive and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. The arrangement for those who kept Allahai'am's ways is this when they began to be separated from the corruptible body. In the time of their exile here, they labored hard to serve the most high, and this is talking about fruit, right, faithfulness. Every hour they endure danger so that they might keep the Torah of the law giver perfectly. Therefore, this is the word about them. First, they will see with great joy the glory of Him who receives them. They will have rest on account of seven orders. The first order, because they have struggled hard to overcome the evil, thought, fashioned within them, so that it wouldn't lead them astray from life to death, the second order, because they see the panic in which the souls of the wicked wanderer and the punishment that awaits them. The third order, and it's kind of that, I guess, that relief that we're all longing for when we see wicked people, and they just seem like they get away with it all the time. Finally, you're like, "Oh, I'm on the other side of the curtain and I see what's coming for them." The third order, saying that testimony that their maker has testified on their behalf, because when they were alive, they kept the Torah that was given through faith. Isn't that interesting? Through faith. People are like, "All I need is faith." Well, if you, you know, faith in what, right, the fourth order, understanding the peaceful rest that they now enjoy, gathered in their resting chambers, guarded by angels in deep silence, and understanding the glory that awaits them in their last days. The fifth order, rejoicing at how they have now escaped the corruptible and how they will have a future inheritance, moreover, seeing the narrow space full of labor from which they have been freed, and the spacious place they are about to receive and enjoy, now that they are immortal, the sixth order. Isn't that interesting, too, that this is now that they are immortal? So you can almost get the idea here that there are mortal and immortal people, right? And that's where the annihilationism comes in, that there are mortals who will be snuffed out, just like a light from a candle, and the smoke goes up, but the light's gone. The sixth order, when they are shown how their face begins to shine like the sun and how they begin to be like the stars as beings of incorruptible light. How exciting is that? The seventh order, which is greater than all those mentioned, because they will rejoice with confidence and will trust without being disappointed and will rejoice without fear, for they hasten to see the face of Him who they served, when they were alive, and from whom they are about to receive reward, now that they are glorified. This is the order of souls of the just, as is announced immediately, and those previously mentioned are the ways of torment, that those who paid no heed will suffer. Second Ezra's chapter, seven, and given so many verses. So, I mean, just to recap that, if you are faithful in your servitude to Yahwah, and you keep his Torah and his sat-apart ways, you keep the Sabbath, and you eat queen, and you don't want to sin or transgressions, we could go all through this. So, first John, the separation from the darkness and the light, and the liars, and those who say they are without sin, but those who continue on sinning, and so on and so forth. I mean, we're going to be completely removed from the transgression of the Torah, and it's such an exciting thought that after a life of servitude, that before you go down to sleep, you get to see your master, you get to see his face, and he's like, "I'm going to be here with you, just go down for a nice night, and when you wake up in that trumpet blast, I'll be there. I'm going to wake you up." And he just goes down with that confidence, you don't have to worry about it. Here's an added note, this comes from Job 21. One dies and his full strength being wholly undisturbed and at ease. His sides are filled with fat, and the marrow of his bones is wet. That's kind of interesting. The idea of one dying his full strength is, you know, his obedience, his righteousness. So when he dies, he is now wholly undisturbed and at ease, going into shill, completely fine with it. While another dies with a bitter soul, not even tasting anything good, together they lie down in the dust and maggots cover them. Well, how fun would that pleasant thought, right? You righteous people out there. Yeah, you're going to be devoured by maggots in the underworld, but you'll have a good night rest. Here we see a scene where Moses beholds the future. Why did I put this in here? Well, let's find out. This comes from Legends of the Jews, and for those of you who are unfamiliar with Legends of the Jews, it's a great kind of a reader's digest, I like to refer to it as, is taking all these different books and kind of putting them into one coherent vision. Pointing to the land, God said, this is the land which I swear into Abraham and to Isaac and into Jacob, saying, I will give it into the seat, into thy seed, to them that I promise it, but to thee, do I show it? But he saw not only the land, God pointed with his finger to every part of the Holy Land and accurately described it to Moses, saying, this is Judah's share. This is Ephrym, and in this way instructed him about the division of the land. Moses learned from God the history of the whole land and the history of every part of it. God showed it to him as it would appear in its glory and how it would appear under the rule of strangers. God revealed to him not only the complete history of Israel that was to take place in the Holy Land, but also revealed to him all that had occurred, and that was to occur in the world from its creation to the day of judgment when the resurrection of the dead will take place. I see what I did here. So it's kind of funny when I come up with this whole talk and I put all these verses together and then weeks go by and I'm like, why did I put this in here? But this is the compliment, obviously, second Ezra's and Moses is dying here. So you see the same thing happening. Now in this case, it's before he dies. It's not right after he dies, but he's seeing the future glory. He's seeing the fate of the wicked. He's seeing all it just as it describes with Ezra. He saw from its creation to the day of judgment when the resurrection of the dead will take place. He saw Joshua's war with the Canaanites, Israel's deliverance from the Philistines through Samson, the glory of Israel and David's reign, the building of the temple under Solomon, and its destruction, the line of kings from the house of David, and the line of prophets from the house of Rahab, the destruction of Gog and Magog on the plain of Jericho. There's something for you. There's a breadcrumb for you guys out there. The destruction of Gog and Magog on the plains of Jericho. All this and more, much more, was it given Moses to see? And as God showed him the events in the world, so too did he show him paradise with its thrillers of piety and hell with the wicked men that fill it. So just to compliment their legends or second Ezra's. So let's, I want to talk about the seven days, but before I do, let's talk about Shiel as a place for the righteous and the wicked. Saying that yeah, the wicked are going there, but the righteous are too. You know, I probably should have started out discussing hell and the word hell, and some people get so caught up, you know, some people are just hell, hell, hell, and then you have this other camp and hell's a pagan word and that kind of stuff. It's kind of interesting when you dig into the root word of hell and apparently it may mean to be hidden, which is kind of interesting. Hell is a place where people are hidden. I kind of like that actually, but I digress Genesis 37, 35 says this. So Jacob tore his clothes. This is a cove, yeah, a cove, the, who becomes Israel and put on a sackcloth undergarment over his waist and mourn for his son for many days. This would be when he thought Yoseph had died, then all his sons and all his daughters got up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted and he said, surely I will go down to Sheol in mourning for my son, so his father wept for him. And of course, you know, Moses or nobody else, you know, basically criticizes him for this. That's the world view. All the fathers believed that they would go down to Sheol. And here's Genesis 42, so skipping ahead a few chapters and their father, yeah, a cove said to them, you have deprived me of my sons, Yoseph is gone and Simeon is gone, and now you would take Benjamin. And this is when, you know, the long story of the 12 or the 11 brothers reuniting with Yoseph again out in Egypt, all those, all these things are against me, then Ruben spoke to his father saying, you may put my two sons to death if I do not bring him back to you, put him in my care and I will return him to you. But Yaco said, my son shall not go down with you, where his brother is dead and he alone is left. If you harm, if harm should happen to him on the journey you are taking, then you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow. Okay, well now let's see Yehuda speaking, this would be Judah. And again, you know, the Jews come from this tribe, right? This is just one tribe, I talked to so many people, they're like, I don't do the Torah, that's for the Jews. I'm like, well, you know, that's just one tribe. Yehuda speaking, this is what he says, if you also take this, if you also take this one from me and harm happens to him, you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow. So Yehuda was well convinced he would go there as well. So now when I come to your servant, my father and the boy is not with us. Our father's life is so attached to the boy's life, when he sees that the boy is not with us, he will die. So your servants will bring the gray hair of your servant, our father, down to Sheol in sorrow. So Yehuda felt that he was going to go down there with his father. So here's one Job 21, we can compare with what we read in 2nd Edgers chapter 7. Oh, yeah, I actually already covered this, didn't I? So I don't need to do that again, Job 21, but Job, you know, he was well acquainted with the fact that the righteous and the wicked, they both go there. Here's another one from Ecclesiastes 9, so this is coming from Solomon. It is the same for all. There is one fate for the righteous and for the wicked, for the good, for the queen and the young queen, for the person who offers a sacrifice and for the one who does not sacrifice. As the good person is, so is the sinner, the one who swears an oath, as just as the one who is afraid to swear an oath. This is an evil in everything that is done under the sun, that there is one fate for everyone. What is this one fate that he's talking about? Furthermore, the hearts of the sons of mankind are full of evil and insanity is in their hearts throughout their lives. Afterward they go to the dead. For whoever is joined to all living, there is hope for better a live dog than a dead lion. For the living know that they will die, but the dead do not know anything, nor do they have a reward any longer for their memory is forgotten. Indeed, their love, their hate, and their zeal have already perished, and they will no longer have a share in all that is done under the sun. Now, I could have taken you through a long study on Job. I might have a few more of his quotes in here where he says the same thing. He's like, "It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, whatever." He says, "I wish I would die so that it would be like I never was. I'll have no memory of anything. Just put me down. I just don't want to even know anything anymore. I don't want to have any pain anymore." Let's talk about the seven days of mourning. I find this really fascinating. Remember now, so it says, "Well, let's see what it says right here in 2nd and 3rd chapter 7." "Oh, I actually didn't quote this yet." I answered, "Will time therefore be given to the souls after they are separated from the bodies to see what you told me?" So remember now, he said, "The seven things for the wicked, seven things for the righteous." And he said to me, "They will be free for seven days, so that they may see in those seven days the things that have been foretold. After this, they will be gathered in their dwelling places." Now, I want you to think about this is profound because it's literally saying that spirits will wander the earth. They will haunt the earth for seven days, the wicked, of course, in one way. The righteous in a very different way. And when I talk about it in a future week, when I talk about guardian angels, I'll show you a little bit more of that and how the righteous are basically taking on this really awesome tour of the cosmos, take me above the firmament, show me the stars, the moon, you want to land on the moon, well, there you go. And really awesome stuff. But I also want to talk about the implications of the seven days and why it's so important to bury someone immediately, have that funeral, so on and so forth. Well, the first mention that I can find of the seven days, this actually comes from the book of Jasher, refers to Methuselah, we're coming up on the flood, Noah's flood, and we read this. "At that time, after the death of Methuselah, Yahua has said to Noah, 'Now, who was Methuselah, it was Noah's grandfather? Go thou with thy household into the ark, behold, I will gather to thee all the animals of the earth, and beasts of the field, and bowels of the air, and they shall all come and surround the ark, and thou shalt go and seat thyself by the doors of the ark, and all the beasts, the animals, and the bowels shall assemble and place themselves before thee, and such of them shall come and crouch before thee, shalt thou take and deliver into the hands of thy sons, who shall bring them to the ark, and all that will stand before thee thou shalt leave." And so this is how, of course, the animals come in, and the idea of bowing down, it's kind of like a wheat and tear issue here, and those of us who can bow down and be submissive in this life are going to make it. And Yahua brought this about on the next day, and animals, beasts, and bowels came in great multitudes, and surrounded the ark. And Noah went and seated himself by the door of the ark, and of all the flesh that crouched before him, he brought into the ark, and all that stood before him, he left upon the earth, and the lioness came with her two welps, male and female, and the three crouched before Noah, and the two welps rose up against the lioness and smote her, and made her flee from her place, and she went away, and they returned to the places and crouched upon the earth before Noah, and the lioness ran away and stood in the place of the lions. And Noah saw this and wondered greatly, and he rose and took the two welps and brought them into the ark, and Noah brought into the ark from all living creatures that were upon the earth, so that there was none left but which Noah brought into the ark. Two and two came to Noah into the ark, but from the clean animals, and clean bowels, he brought seven couples, as O'ahuiahim had commanded him. A little side note here, this is before Mount Sinai, and it's talking about clean animals, so ask you a question, are giraffes clean around clean animals? Is there a clean animal? That means there would be 14 giraffes on the ark, not two, and everybody seems to miss this. Go back in Genesis, it says the same thing. It says that there were seven pair, seven couples of clean, one, so there were two pigs that went on the ark, 14 giraffes, 14 sheep, 14 goats, and again, this is, you know, two pair, I mean, if shrimp went on the ark, you got two shrimp going on the boat, right? So how can that be, right? How can that be if clean and unclean animals are just a Jewish invention? It cannot. And all the animals and beasts and fowls were still there, and they surrounded the ark at every place, and the rain had not descended till seven days after, I should have highlighted that right there. And all that day, Yahua had caused the whole earth to shake, and the sun darkened, and the foundations of the world raged, and the whole earth was moved violently, and the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared, and all the fountains and the earth were broken up, such as was not known to the inhabitants before, and Allahaykum did this mighty act in order to terrify the sons of men, that there might be no more evil upon the earth. He's trying to get people to repent in seven days, and still they will not. And still the sons of men would not return from their evil ways, and they increased the anger of Yahua at that time, and did not even direct their hearts to all this. And at the end of seven days, in the 600th of the year, the life of Noah, the waters of the flood were upon the earth. Now, I could have read a little bit further, and we learned that the animals that were standing around, that didn't go on the ark, when the people tried to run to get on the ark, when the water's coming, those animals stay there to defend the ark, and they actually start slashing and attacking everybody as a pretty awesome scene. But the idea here is, without going into too much rabbinical commentary, is that these seven days were mourning for Methuselah, who was a very righteous man. And what was happening in these seven days, what we were in in 2nd entrance was happening. He's getting a full tour of the cosmos, and he hasn't been put down yet. And I think that he waited the last righteous man to die, Yahua waited until he was put down into Sheol before he brought on the flood waters. It starts getting more interesting, though. We see in chapter 24, so that was chapter 6, and this is chapter 24. When the days of Sarah were 127 years, and she died, and Abraham made a great and heavy mourning, and he performed the rights of mourning for seven days. And all the inhabitants of the land comforted Abraham and Isaac, his son, on account of Sarah. And when the days of their mourning passed by Abraham, let me read that again, and when the days of their mourning passed by Abraham sent away his son Yitzhak, and he went to the house as Shem and Iber to learn the ways of Yahwah and his instructions, essentially becoming the kills of that priest. And Abraham remained there three years, but I want to show you that Abraham is following this seven days of mourning for her spirit. And another thing to think about here is when you bury somebody, you go to the funeral, and everybody talks about that person, you give the speeches and all the sappy sentiments. I'm of the opinion that that spirit can hear you, that he might actually be there in the room. He hasn't been put down in the shiel yet. And so that's something to think about, you know, and how we talk about a person. It's almost like, maybe this isn't the best example, but Ebenezer, Scrooge, and Christmas Carol. And he would, he would go to the spirits would take him as a spirit to the houses of other people. And he would see how tiny Tim, you know, go to the house of Tiny Tim and see how his mother spoke about him and the horrible things they said about and that kind of stuff. Yashir 56 says this, and Yaakov was buried in Hebron in the cave of a McPillah, which Abraham had bought from the sons of hath for the possession of a burial place. And he was buried in very costly garments. And no king had such honor paid him as Yossa paid into his father and his death, for he buried him with great honor, likened to the burial of kings. And Yossa and his brother made a morning of seven days for their father. Well, he gets even more strange here in chapter 50. Actually, I read, I think I put that to early 56. Let me go back to chapter 50 here, because this gets really strange. It's kind of, it's brought up some, almost like some theological or philosophical quandaries for me. If there is a seven day period of mourning where the spirit, or the soul of the person, the animated soul, the person apart from the body, the consciousness is able to walk around and listen to what people say about him and look into things and, you know, see their future in the past and everything like that. What's going on here? Yossa fell across his father's body, wept over him and kissed him. Yossa then ordered the physicians in his service to embalm his father and the physicians embalmed Yashirel. They mourned for him 40 days, so that's an interesting number right there, because that is the period required for embalming. Then the Egyptians mourned him for 70 days. So we are now 70 plus 40 days, passes death, I will let you do the math on that, but we're not done yet. After the period of mourning, Yossa spoke to Pharaoh's household. If you approve my request, give Pharaoh this message, "My father made me promise telling me I'm about to die. You must bury me in the tomb I dug for myself in the land of Canaan. Now let me leave and let me bury my father, and then I will return." And Pharaoh replied, "Go bury your father as you promised." Well, let me just skip ahead here, to verse 10. When they arrived at the threshing floor of Atad on the other side of the Jordan River, they observed a solemn, deeply sorrowful period of mourning. He grieved seven days for his father, huh. So I mean, I would assume that they would take the first seven days of his death and include that within the 40 days, and even before the 70. And how long did it take, by the way, to actually journey back there, right? So the 40 plus the 70, now we're not even including the journey there. They don't tell us how many days that I can see here. And so we have an additional seven days where they are mourning for him. And I want to show you as we go on further that this mourning is done very consciously, so that the spirit can hear you. So I asked myself the question, I've been asking myself with no conclusion yet on this for a few years now, was Yaakov somehow alert and conscious this entire time? You know, was he not able to go down to sleep with his father's with Yitzhak and with Abraham and so on and so forth, Noah and Shem, until the seven days of mourning had been completed? I don't know, can you answer? Here we see in Yashir 59, and Yosef was 110 years old when he died in the land of Egypt, and all his brother and all his servants rose up and they embalmed Yosef as was their custom, and his brother and all Egypt mourned for him 70 days. So I'm again assuming that there was the embalming that took 40 days. I didn't say it here, they already said it several chapters earlier, so it was another 40 days, another 70 days, and they put Yosef in a coffin filled with spices and all sorts of perfume, and they buried him by the side of the river, that is, she whore and his sons and all his brother and the whole of his father's household made a seven days mourning for him, again, only after they buried him. Now Shiva is a Hebrew word meaning seven, and refers to a seven day period of formalized mourning by the immediate family of the deceased, so they'll call it a sitting Shiva, if you've ever heard of it, the camera is really bouncy tonight. I think it's because my soul is, my body is so animated with my soul tonight, I keep bouncing around. So this is what it says in Kitzer Shokan, some of your Tamudic literature, I think this is just kind of interesting to note from a traditional perspective, a mornar during the Shiva is forbidden to leave his house to go to the synagogue in order to say silicos except on Rosh Hashanah, that's the, speaking of tradition, that's, I mean, it's their new year, but it's actually Yom Tarua, the piece of trumpets, when many silicos are said. So it's basically saying there that, and there's actually, I think, any of the high piece pretty much you're supposed to keep those, but otherwise, and I'm not going to go through all of Tamudic literature, there's some exceptions where they're like, yeah, take the feast and then after that, you can have the seven days morning, but again, you have the theological quandary of what do you, what happens to these souls during the time. Well, the reason I mentioned that, the sitting Shiva's because we see the same thing here in the Gospel of John, we see the same thing happening. A certain man Lazarus was El, and his name in Hebrew, but Elizer, he was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister, Martha, this was the Mary who anointed Yahua with fragrant oil, this is the Lord there, so I should say Adonai, this was the Mary who anointed Adonai with fragrant oil, and wiped his feet with her hair. Her brother Lazarus was El, so the sister sent word to Yeshua saying, Adonai, the one whom you love is El, when you heard this, Yeshua said, this illness isn't fatal, it's for the glory of Alihayam, so that Alihayam's son can be glorified through it. Yeshua loved Martha, her sister in Lazarus, and when he heard that Lazarus was El, he stayed there where he was, and after two days he said to his disciples, let's return to Yehudah again. The disciples, or let's say the Talmudim replied, Rabbi, the Yehudesh opposition wants to stone you, but you want to go back, Yeshua answered, aren't there 12 hours in the day, whoever walks in the day doesn't stumble because they see the light of the world, but whoever walks in the night does stumble because the light isn't in them, and he continued, our friend Lazarus is sleeping, there he says it again, but I am going to order to wake him up. Now, you know, I have questions about this too because, you know, in this case there were only four days to pass, and I almost wonder if, you know, he shouldn't be sleeping, right, quote unquote, sleeping until the seven day marker, the same for the little girl that was brought up, or even, you know, Stephen where it says like he would just, he went to sleep, right? So I don't know, I don't know how that works. I don't know if there's exceptions, and some people just are put out right away. And in this case of Lazarus and the little girl, it because, you know, they weren't, they specifically were not shown she all, and, you know, the glory of the afterlife because they knew that they were going to be coming back, right, they were intended not to see it yet. And it's how Menim said, add and I, if he's sleeping, he will get well, and they thought Yeshua meant that Lazarus was in a deep sleep, but Yeshua had spoken about Lazarus's death, and so he told them plainly, Lazarus has died. Well, let's skip ahead to verse 17 here. When Yeshua arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. Bethany was a little less than two miles from Yerush Layim, and many of the Yehudim had come to comfort Martha and Mary after their brother's death. When Martha heard that Yeshua was coming, she went to meet him, and while Mary remained in the house, Martha said to Yeshua, add and I, if you had been, your my brother wouldn't have died. Even now, I know that whatever you ask, Aloha'am, Aloha'am will give to you, and Yeshua told her, your brother will rise again. And Martha replied, I know that he will rise in the resurrection on the last day, I love that line. And Yeshua said to her, I am the resurrection of life, whoever believes in me will live, even though they die, everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this? And she said, Yes, add and I, I believe that you are the Mashiach, Aloha'am's son, the one who is coming into the world. The point here is that you see that this, they're four days into this, he's been dead for four days, and they're still mourning him. They're actually taking part in the seven days, seven days ceremony that we saw with Abraham, with Yitzhak, with Yaakov, Yoseph, and so on and so forth. And they're, they were very voiced for, they would hire musicians and they'd come in and play music and all that kind of stuff. I will be addressing a little bit more that when I'd have the guardian angel talk with you guys, the idea that they're actually playing music consciously for spiritual entities. And something I just want you to think about right now is how often do you think the music that you play, just, you know, around the house, while you're in the car, that you're actually, you know, quote unquote, entertaining angels. You're actually, are you blessing your guardian angel or the spirit surrounding you or are you like, are you like, oh, I'm not this again, you know, you're tormenting me with this awful music. All right, so, coats, seven days of joy versus mourning. This is interesting. Now, I'm actually finishing to coat now, I'm finishing the fall feast. Tomorrow will be the eighth great day for me. It's a high Sabbath. And then I'm done for the year with the, with the feast on the menorah. Some of you right now, as I speak, are in the thirteenth month, so I think you've just had Yom Tarua, you're coming up on Yom Kippur, all that to say, let's, there's what it says in what passage is this, this is Deuteronomy chapter 16, you shall celebrate the feast aboods, that'd be the coat for seven days. There's that, there's that number again. When you have gathered in from your threshing floor and your wine vats and you shall rejoice in your feast, you, your son, and your daughter and your male and female slaves and the Levites, the stranger, the orphan and the widow who are in your towns, for seven days, you shall celebrate a feast to Yahawah, your allahaim and the place which Yahawah chooses because Yahawah, your allahaim will bless you in all your produce and in all your work of your hands so that you will be altogether joyful. So that's actually a command in case you guys didn't know that. One of the commands for sakote is that you're to be joyful. This is the thanksgiving of the Bible, it's actually, it's awesome, it's eight days of just like eating food and being merry and drinking liquor and just, yeah, having fun. And well, this seems to be, of course, the thing about sakote without going into a whole different rabbit trail on this, sakote is also mirrored by the millennial kingdom, by the thousand year reign. Of course, the eighth great day is a representation of our resurrection, right? So let's tie all that in to the command to be joyful over seven days in sakote. But then look what we read here in Amos 8, it says, "Then I will turn your festivals into morning." Well, which festivals is talking about here? We're the one that you're commanded to be joyful in, sakote. And all your songs into songs of mourning, and I will put southcloth around everyone's waist and baldness on every head, and I will make it like a time of mourning for an only sense. Now it's comparable to death, and the day that will be like a bitter day, the whole days are coming, declares yahwah, allahayam, when I was sent a famine on the land, not a famine of bread or thirst for water, but rather for curing the words of yahwah, people stagger from sea to sea and from the north even to the east, they will roam about to seek the word of yahwah, but they will not find it. Amos 8, verse 10 through 12, and I hear this passage brought up a lot for the Mandela effect. You know, apparently it's like the famine of hearing the word, actually with this talking out in context is the Torah. The famine is that people are wandering the earth seeking the word of God, it's actually right in front of them, and they can't see it. They can't see it, it's like telling you, the whole Bible is telling you to be obedient to this, you know, and everyone's walking around saying, did God really say, did God really say, that's the famine, they are in the famine? And the festival of Sukkot, the Millennial Kingdom, is, you know, it has now been turned into a morning, they're no longer joyful. Sheol divisions between the righteous and the wicked. So we know now that the righteous go to Sheol. We know that the wicked go to Sheol, but let's see what it actually looks like in Sheol. This is going to come from Enoch chapter 22. And if you stick with me to the end, I'm going to be calming on some other really fascinating components of this passage. And then I went into another place, so Enoch is going, and he showed me in the West another great and high mountain and of hard rock. And there were four hollow places in it, deep and very smooth, three of them were dark and one bright. So right now, you could see that in Sheol, there are four divisions, four hollow places. All right, so you could start kind of imagining that. And there was a fountain of water in the midst, and I said, so the one that's bright. Okay, this is, I'm telling you, it's, it's, I don't think it's paradise. It's what we would call I guess Abraham's bosom, but it's basically designed like paradise. There's a fountain of water in the midst, right? So it's a very pleasant place where your thirst is quenched. And I said, I mean, it sounds like a spa. It sounds like a, you know, a nice place, you know, we spend a lot of money, go for the weekend. You don't have to spend any money, go there. That's what's great about it. I guess your relatives get slapped with the bill for the funeral, but you're, you're good to go. So you've right just out there. And I said, how smooth are these hollow places and deep and dark to view? Then Raphael, that's the angel with them. Not one of the ninja turtles. Then Raphael answered, one of the holy angels who was with me and said unto me, these hollow places have been created for this very purpose, that the rule of the souls of the dead. So you see that what's going on, the rule of cloth is plural for spirits. So the spirits of the souls of the dead. So we are separating the, the, the, we see the word soul being employed here. Should a symbol therein, yay that all the souls of the children and men should assemble here. And these places, and so the, the spirits don't go there, right? The spirits return to, uh, to our creator, the souls go to shield, the body is rotting. And these places have been made to receive them to the day of their judgment and tell their appointed period till the period appointed to the great judgment comes upon them. I saw the ruock of a dead man making suit. And his voice went forth to heaven and made suits. When I asked Raphael, the angel who was with me, and I said unto him, this ruock, which make it suit, whose is it, whose voice goeth forth and make it suit to heaven? And he answered me saying, this is the ruock, which went forth from evil, whom his brother came slew. And he makes his suit against him, tell his seat is destroyed from the face of the earth. And his seat is annihilated from amongst the seat of men. So I said that there's always going to be exceptions to the rules. It's not a perfectly contained picture. I don't know if Abel's asleep or not, but he appears to be, I don't know if he's conscious, but his voice, he, maybe he's talking asleep, you know, when you look and somebody is just like, you could hear them clearly what they're saying their senses. Maybe he just keeps repeating his sleep. I don't really know. But Enoch hears it and he's disturbed. He sees all these people there that are just kind of in their chambers, sleeping the, the day away, and Abel's going around, complaining about Cain. Then I asked regarding all the hollow places, why is one separated from the other? And he answered me saying, these three have been made that the ruock off of the dead might be separated, of course, separated from the righteous. So the non-righteous go into three different chambers. And this division has been made for the ruock off of the righteous in which there is the bright spring of water. So darkness for everyone else, apparently lights for the righteous. And this has been made for the sinners when they die and are buried in the earth and judgment has not been executed upon them in their lifetime. Now, if you're following along, you could see that I, I, I, I numbered them by in blue. So the first is a place where the, the non-righteous go, the sinners, it calls them the sinners and they're not wicked. And this is that judgment has not been executed upon them in their lifetime. And that's telling you that some people actually do receive their judgment while they're alive. I'll give you a perfect example, Sodom and Gomorrah. But when I do the study on, so when I do the study on the, the, the, all consuming fire, the fire that consumes annihilationism, I'll talk about that. There'll be one of my points that my, my idea is that those who perished in Sodom and Gomorrah that was it. They were, they were judged, they're not going to be judged again. They were judged for their sins. And that judgment event is a picture of what it is like for the wicked when they are completely annihilated. Here their rua coth shall be set apart in this great pain till the great day of judgment scorching and torments of the curse forever. So it sounds like these were sinners who got away with it in life. And you know, it's almost better to be judged in this world, really, when you think about it, because it says that they're in great pain till the great day of judgment, scorching and torments of the cursed forever, so that there may be retribution for their rua coth. So again, what does that look like? I mean, if they're, if they're put down to sleep, but this is why I say it sounds like a, like a horrific nightmare, such an endless nightmare, there he shall bind them forever. And this division. So this is the second of the three divisions has been made for the spirits of the rua coth of those who make their suit, who make disclosures concerning their destruction when they were slain in the days of the sinners. And this has been made the last one, the third has been made for the rua coth men who shall not be righteous, but sinners who are godless and of the lawless they shall be companions, but their rua coth shall not be punished in the day of judgment, nor shall they be raised from this. Then I blessed Yahuwah, a glory or Yahuwah, a glory and said, blessed are thou at an eye righteousness who rules over the world. What just happened? It says that the last group of people, the way I read this is that they were just sinners. They were just, they weren't righteous. They weren't wicked. They just lived their lives. They were taxpayers. They, you know, they grew up with the school, with the college, got married, got a mortgage, went into debt, got married, had children, raised them, went to church, maybe. I don't know. They were just sinners, you know. And it says right there, it says they will not be raised from the debt. That's what it says in Enoch. Now, people come at me and go like, what are you saying, Noel? You know, the Bible says that everyone is going to say, well, no, actually, I'm going to show you a few examples tonight where not everyone. It's not a clear case. There is a possibility that many, many people will never raise from the dead. They die. That's it. They go down to Sheol and then, of course, Sheol itself will be thrown in the lake of fire and they're just annihilated. They're just, they're never going to come to consciousness again. They literally die. That's it. It's kind of like a, you know, like sometimes me, like atheists, almost kind of like they advertise it. Enoch 22 says this, I don't want you to compare this with Revelation chapter six. And this division has been made for the rule of cloth of those who make their suit, who make disclosures concerning their destruction and they were slain in the days of the sinners. So what does that mean? He saw something similar to that with, with Abel, that he was making suit. He was slain. But what is the day of the sinners here? All right. Well, let's look at Revelation chapter six. When the land broke the fifth CO, I saw underneath the altar, the souls of those who had been killed because of the word of Allah. And because of the testimony, which they had maintained and they cried with the loud voice saying, how long, oh, Ad and I, or you could say, Oh, yeah, why, holy and true, will you refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who live on the earth? And a white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they were to rest for a little while longer until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers and sisters who were to be killed, even as they had been was completed also. So specifically those who are killed, just as says an Enoch right there, they were slain in the days of the sinners. So those who are murdered, killed unjustly, just as Abel was, apparently there is a place in Sheol for them. And they go there and they can, they could raise a suit and, you know, a little lawsuits and they can, and they're told, Hey, you know what, you guys keep talking about this. Just go to sleep a little longer, like, well, we'll, we'll deal with this soon enough. And then by the way, when I talk about, I'm also going to be giving another talk here on the Heroing of Hell and I'll be talking about that as well. Enoch 22 says this, we just read this, but let's read it again. And he answered me saying this is the Ruach, which went forth from Abel, whom his brother Cain slew. And he makes suit against him till his seat is destroyed from the face of the earth and his seat is annihilated from amongst the seed of men. Let's hold this different discussion there that the seed of Cain and how, you know, how deep that, that goes, you know, the seed of Cain and today does still exist. But you see Abel doing the same thing as, as ancient Revelation 6. All right, point made. So here is the chasm that we read about in Enoch. Remember there's the, the, the fourth one, the one of light with water where the righteous go. And here his Messiah is parable in Luke chapter 16. You've heard this so many times, but maybe for some of you out there, this is the first time you're like connecting this with Enoch in a lot. He's making a lot more sense. Now there was a rich man and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen and joined himself and splendor every day. And a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate covered with sores and longing to be fed from the scraps which fell from the rich man's table. Not only that, the dogs also were coming and looking to source. Now to point out here, it is interesting that the rich man has no name. We don't know what this man is called. It should be the opposite because the poor man has a name, but the poor man actually ends up having an identity and he's written in the book of life, whereas the rich man has no name because his name is getting scrubbed from the book of life. Now it happened that the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's arms. So, and that would be, of course, what we read in second address, chapter seven. And the rich man also died and was buried and in Hades, he raised his eyes being in torment and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his arms and he cried out and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus so that he would dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue for I am in agony in the flame. Now Abraham is about to say here that he couldn't come over if he wanted to, but it is interesting nonetheless that this man, this rich man, he did not ask if he could go and get water. He actually commanded, he was trying to command Lazarus, the poor man to come and bring him water. And why is that? Well, the way I'm looking at this is that the rich man is still in his, like he doesn't have a proper world. It's not like something you go to to she or Hades or wherever, you know, you want to call hell if you want and you know, they're going to be sorry. They're going to, you know, they're going to know you were right. Like he's still under the whole worldview of, no, Lazarus, he's a poor man, he should be bringing me water. Have him come and feed me because I want water right now. And it just goes to show that you're not going to have your worldview fixed in the afterlife. And besides all this between us and you, a great chasm has been set. Oh, hold on, oh, but I jumped ahead, but Abraham said, child, remember that during your life, you received your good things. And likewise, Lazarus bad things, but now he's being comforted here and you are in agony. And besides all this between us and you, a great chasm has been set so that those who want to go over from here to you will not be able, nor will any people cross over from there to us. No, I had said I was about to say that, but still he, this, this rich man had not had that explained to him yet. He didn't know that. It just interesting that he was demanding that the poor man come over to him. And he said, then I request of you father that you sent him to my father's house where I have five brothers in order that he may warn them so that they will not come to this place of torment as well. Now the answer Abraham gives is almost always forsaken. I have never in my whole life in church actually heard like actually discussed what he actually said. But Abraham said, they have Moses in the prophets, why? Let them hear it. He's saying they have Torah. They have the Torah. This is it this and who are the prophets? The prophets are the Tanakh, the rest of the Bible that are telling you to be obedient. Stop rebelling against the Torah. But he said, no father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent. He said to them, if they do not listen to Moses in the prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead. Guys, and who rose from the dead? YAHush Amashiach, Yeshua, he rose from the dead. And still people will not listen to Moses in the prophets. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. The level of cognitive dissonance out there. Oh, because Messiah rose from the dead, we don't have to keep Moses anymore, right? That's what people say. It's like, no, no, no, you weren't going to keep it anyways. You're just making excuses. He rose from the dead. You're still not going to listen. That's what Abraham said, and it's true, every word of it. All right, let's look at the two divisions in the book of wisdom. The book of wisdom, if you don't know, comes from Britain. It comes from really the teachings of Joseph of very Matthew as the father of faith over there. There's a whole story on that won't go into now. But listen when it says that it ties up with everything we've been going over so far. The spiritual realm lies between the realm of matter and the realm of the divine. If your mind is unable to grasp the idea of the divine and you cannot understand what is meant by spirituality, do not be dismayed, how can an ordinary unenlightened mind do so when it is shut up by a corrupt material world and unclothes on every side by illusion? What an interesting contrast there to talk about material world and the material is corrupt and closed by illusion. It was like this Matrix sentence with that. Absolute purity cannot be seen amid the clouds of earthly impurity. In this defiled place, I thought all things were clean, in this defiled place, the immaculate is inconceivable. Therefore if you cannot understand this or perceive the reality of perfection, how much lesser are you able to comprehend the divine? Step confidently along the path, guided by understanding companions who are more enlightened for they will not lead you astray and soon the light of understanding will be placed in your hand. That is so profound what he just said. I want to give a whole presentation, actually I did, what he just said right there, if you watch the Matrix and the seven steps in initiation, whatever, it was a whole long title, but the whole idea of finding someone more enlightened than you to help you along the path. Most people think they can do it on their own and all the ancient say that that is why most people do not make it. They wake up, they are like I am good to go now and they just run off and they become proud and all knowing and they start judging other people and you need to wake up and all this kind of stuff and they fall by the wayside, they don't even know it. The spiritual realm is divided into two parts, so here we go, so Enoch divides into two parts two even though there is three over here and one over here. The spiritual realm is divided into two parts, on one side is the place where the wicked have companionship of their own kind and it is a cold place of gloom in darkness. Now the ancients talk about a place of heat and cold as well and even Dante does, so if we ever want to go into that he says that they are both there and many of the apocalyptic extra biblical books do as well. This is the realm of evil containing those who are repulsive even to their own kind. The greatest punishment may lie in fact that they retain the memory of beauty, goodness and cleanliness. Just as the happiness of those in the realm of good, on the other side is heightened by its contrast with the sorrows and afflictions they have known. How beautiful is that? And of course the first part lines up with what we saw with Lazarus and the rich man that he remembered, the torment for him was remembering the good things of the earth that he completely fumbled over, but on the other, on the flip with Lazarus he was brought to joy, heightened joy by the sorrows and afflictions of the life that he went through. And that's the whole thing guys about sorrow. It actually is used to bring us to joy, joy comes through sorrow, something that when we're going through these grievous situations it's not the way we want to go about it, but the light at the end of the tunnel is amazing joy. And a lot of you have experienced that in this life and you know what that's like. The realm of evil is separated from the realm of good by an etheric form of flame through which communication can be made. Hmm, we just read that. Were those on the summit side, hmm, that's what Enox is, were those on the summit side to inquire from the dwellers in gloom what brought them to their deplorable state. If the truth could be found in them, they would reply, "We are those who were heedless of all spiritual and ennobling things. We were those who thought only of their own betterments and not the advancement of mankind and the welfare of others." Of course, that's Torah right there baby, you know, taking care of the widows, the orphans, honoring your father and your mother. We were the selfish ones who considered only their own comforts and convenience. Which says that they don't have the heart or the mind of YAH. Now look at what we have. We impressed the poor and lowly and exploited the helpless in week doing nothing to improve their lot. So they're tying in right there that some people go, "Well, I don't exploit the helpless in the week. But look how they finish the sentence, doing nothing to improve their lot, nothing." Now look at ours. We sat on councils and in seats of authority engaging in vain disputes about right and wrong. Sounds like your basic church gets together. While the poor, the hungry and the oppressed stood by and suffered in patience. We are above all those who could have done much but did little. You get the feeling that these people, you know, they were into their doctorates and their PhDs and their people of authority and the church fathers and all these things and tradition. And you know, you get the guy on the back of the bus, you know, nobody looks twice that guy. He's like, "Guys, I think we should, you know, I think we should go feed these people over here. And you know, maybe he's looking at the Bible in fresh ways and they're like, "You're not a PhD. You're not a doctor. We're not listening to you." And you know, this is where they end up. We are above all those who could have done much but did little. We were those who given great gifts, used them for selfish ends. What have we now? We inhabited fine houses and surrounded ourselves with all things, givis and comfort. Now we are comfortless. We set out places of pleasure and closed our eyes to sorrow and suffering of the world. We laughed at those who sought to teach us spirituality and took a base and easy view of right and wrong. There is no laughter here. We doubted that there was any life to come and could not understand the talk about it. Of course, you know, that's really what, you know, where your treasure is right in your heart and where your belief is. So obviously if you believe that there is going to be judgments and that we're all going to be held accountable and that it's eternal, irrevocable decisions that lead to eternal death and torments and all these kinds of things, if you truly believe that, you're going to live your life in a righteous way. You're going to go, like, I want to keep YAH, I want to guard those instructions in righteous living. I don't want to just callously just be like, oh, I've been freed from that. I'm just going to throw that aside. And YAH is going to be, oh, he's going to be okay with it. Would that the grave had been the end? Talk of duty and service disturbed our ease and complacency and we let others carry our burdens if only we could return. Only now when we so miserably exist in the certainty of life after death can we realize our errors and suffer for them. Here the air is filled with the sighing sound or the saddest words we know too late. These words did once span the gulf and were recorded by an ancient seer. On the day when the whole being is split apart by death and the mortal clay is consigned to its proper place, the spirit passes through the great gates into the spiritual realm. The spirit first enters a borderland where the floodgates of memory are opened and each and every deed recalled. So again, this ties right into, this is why I actually read 2nd Edger's chapter 7 very early on. And this ties right in with it, you know, everything, your whole life, all that, everything you did comes just arouses into your memory. This is where the newly arrived spirit waits while slowly it assumes its chosen shape and realizes the direction of its destination. Again, I would argue this is within that seven-day period. The spirit does not arrive in a state of waking, but it is like one asleep. It awakes to its new life like a man awakes to a new day. They end up during earthly life, it has doomed itself. This realization will slowly dawn and the newly formed being will cringe away from those who came to welcome it. It will indeed wish the death had been the end, the wisdom of ancient times disclosed that the newly arrived spirit stood and completeness for judgment, but what it called the place of decision is the borderland. If during life, the spirit has beautified and enovled itself, it will slowly realize its unfolding glory and rejoice, it will rise gladly to its welcome and advance fearlessly into the light of its compatible place. Some which do not have full affinity with either the light or the darkness depart for the shadowland towards which they are impaled by its attraction for one in their state. Within the spiritual realm, there are places to suit the condition of every spirit entering it, and that is why the ancient book states the mansions of the spirit are without number. I would like to know what ancient book that is. I'll read that again. The mansions of the spirit are without number. Of course, what does the Hush Hamashiach say, he says that his father's house are many mansions. All right, so let's talk about blooded from the book of life. This is really interesting because I am assuming, based on what I've read, that everyone is in the book of life. If you're listening to this right now, I hope you're living, I mean I don't know, maybe a dead spirit on a seven day journey is listening to this right now, going home. Every one of us, we are written in the book of life. Well, let's look up what it says in Deuteronomy chapter 29, Torah territory. Now, it is not with you alone that I'm making this covenant in the soul, but both with those who stand here with us today and in the presence of YAHahuwah are Allahaykum and with those who are not with us here today, for you know how we lived in the land of Egypt and how we passed through the midst of the nations through which you passed. Moreover, you have seen their abominations and their idols made of wood and stone, silver and gold, which they had with them. Now, the context here is that they're getting ready Israel. They've wandered through the lettuce for 40 years through the little season. They were rejected from the kingdom, their parents were, and they're getting ready to cross over and and YAHahuwah has like, look, if you want to come into the lands, you're going to pass into my rod, you're going to cross over here, you're going to keep my covenant. And if you're not interested in keeping my covenant, you know, you can choose the blessing of the curse, that the curse is to go off, you know, be the goats. The blessing is to be the sheep, the curse is to be the tear, the blessing is to be the wheat. So I'm saying you go one way or the other way. But he says here, he's like, look, but I'm not just making this covenant with you. I'm making this to all future generations, anyone that wants to come into my land, you know, that wants me to be their God, their Allahaykum, ayahahuwah. This is for you too. So that there will not be among you a man or woman or family or tribe whose heart turns away today from YAHahuwah or Allahaykum to go to serve the gods of the nations of the going, the Gentiles, that there will not be among you a root-bearing, poisonous fruits and wormwood. And then that's of course really interesting right there because that's a tie into revelation and of course, you know, I've done so many studies on this and revelation was fulfilled by 70 AD in the sense that the whore of Babylon was Judea and it was his destruction of Jerusalem and they chose the wormwood. The wormwood came. And it shall be when, and of course, what is one word, one word is, you know, rebelling against his commands and it shall be when he hears the words of this curse that he will consider himself fortunate in his heart saying, "I will do well though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart in order to destroy the water land along with the dry, YAHahuwah will not be willing to forgive him, but rather the anger of YAHahuwah and his wrath will burn against that person and every curse that is written in this book in the Book of Deuteronomy will lie upon him and YAHahuwah will wipe out his name from under heaven." That's the ultimate death right there, that your name is completely scrubbed from under heaven. Then YAHahuwah will single him out for disaster from all the tribes of Israel in accordance with all the curses of the covenant which is written in this book of the Torah, Deuteronomy 29. So let's see what it says in the Book of Jubilees, chapter 36. "But on the day of turbulence and execration and indignation and anger when flaming devouring fire as he burnt sodom, so likewise he will burn his land and his city and all that is his." And again, I think this is talking about the judgments that came in 70 AD and he will be blotted out of the Book of the Discipline of the Children of the Men and not be recorded in the Book of Life. So it's awarded a little bit differently there, but however you slice this, you're blotted out from one book or another and you're not in the Book of Life. But in that which is appointed destruction and he will depart into eternal execration so that their condemnation may be always renewed and hates in an execration and in wrath and in torments and in indignation and in plagues and in disease forever sounds terrible. Now, I will point out when I go through the Annihilation Talk in a couple of weeks, hopefully y'all are welling, I will point out that most people who are into soul sleep and Annihilationism aren't really too big on Jubilees, Jubilees seems to be the wild card where they're like eternal torments. Yeah, so there's a lot of that in there, but you don't get that in the other books. So you take everything for what it is and just look at the evidence, figure out for yourselves. Revelation 3.5 says, "The one who overcomes will be clothed the same way in white garments and I will not erase his name from the Book of Life and I will confess his name before my father and before his angels." How beautiful is that? If you are not scrubbed from the Book of Life and how you not scrubbeds, now this is talking about the context of Israel here, you're in Israel, you're grafted in, you're either you could be genetic if you like, but you're spiritually grafted in, you're being obedient to his commands. Revelation 14, 12, "The perseverance of the Set-apart of the saints, those who keep the father's commands and the testimony of Yeshua, Messiah, YAHushah Hamashiach, and he says, "I will confess his name before my father and before his angels." How exciting is that I want my Savior Yeshua to confess my name before his father. And Daniel 12 says this, "At that time she will arise Michael the great prince who has charge of your people and there shall be a time of trouble such as never has been since there was a nation till that time, but at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the Book. What book is that the Book of Life?" And again, it's all stacking up to the 78D generation. I've given you I think four references there that all seem to speak to that generation. All right, let's start talking about the talking, the dead speak, no pun intended. And so this, again, I said this isn't really a perfect picture because people are going to sleep. We already saw Abraham talking and we saw the rich man. We don't know if Lazarus was talking, I think he was down for the count. I think he was out. And Abraham was like, "I'm not disturbing him, he's good to go for a while." But we do see some speaking and sheal, this comes from, is this Isaiah, this is a long passage, Isaiah 14. So I'll just read a few passages here. I show you the, I don't really like cherry picking verses. I like to show a whole passages, you get the context. And this year is talking about the king of Babylon. And you see parallels with Hasatan and other things like that, but it says, "Since you have been laid low, no tree cutter comes up against us." And it says this, this is speaking to the king of Babylon, sheal below is excited about you to meet you when you come. It stirs the spirits of the dead for you. Now I'm, I think here, if I did a word search, a word study, the dead here would probably be roughing you. It stirs the spirits of the roughing for you. Don't quote me on that. I think that's what it says. All the leaders of the earth, it raises all the kings of the nations from their throne zones. They will all respond and say to you. So this is, this, again here, the kings and the spirits of the roughing, the spirits of the dead, they are being aroused and sheal and they are going to say this. Even you have become weak as we, you have become like us, your pride and the music of your harps have been brought down to sheal. Maggots are spread out as your bed beneath you and worms are you covering. We've seen that before. Of course, the righteous and the, the righteous and the wicked both received that treatment. How you have fallen from heaven, you star of the morning son of the dawn, you have been cut down to the earth, you who defend the nations, but you sit in your heart, I will ascend to heaven. This is, of course, the, of course, the heart of a zazzle or if you want to say Lucifer, I guess, I will raise my throne above the stars of Al-Wahayam and I will sit on the amount of assembly in the recesses of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. I will make myself like the most high. Nevertheless, you will be brought down to sheal to the recesses of the pit. Those who see will stare at you. They will closely examine you saying. So again, this is often used for Satan, but again here, I want, I want you to see this that the context here are people and sheal. So those in sheal who see will stare at you. They will closely examine you saying, again, speaking, is this the man who made the earth tremble, he who shook kingdoms, who made the world like a wilderness and overthrew its cities, who did not allow his prisoners to go home. All the kings of the nations lie in glory, each in his own tomb, but you have been hurled out of your tomb, like a rejected branch, clothed with those killed who have been pierced with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pits, like a trampled corpse, you will not be united with them in burial, Isaiah 14. And I think that's, you know, again, speaking to the king of Babylon, but it's probably a mirror for Hasatan, for the dragon as well, the great accuser who just wanted to raise himself up and ascend and thrown himself on Adam's throne, really. All right. So we've already seen this conversation between Abraham and the rich man, but you know, you got the idea there that they're speaking. This is mentioning the miracle of Yoseph. Actually, I, I, I boarded there on should be the miracle of Rachel at Rachel's grave, though Yoseph was there for it. Of course, Rachel was Yoseph's mother and it says this, and you can see we're going to be looking at Jeremiah chapter 31 after this. And again, the context here is that he has just been sold in the slavery. He's being carted off to Egypt and Yoseph reached his mother's grave. He's on his way out and Yoseph hastened and ran to his mother's grave and fell upon the grave and wept. So I almost see a scene here like he's able to, in that moment, break free from his captors and maybe they're chasing him down and maybe you can hear someone saying like, Oh, it's okay, he's just visiting the grave to just, you know, we'll just nab him when he stands up, let him pay respect to his mother. And Yoseph cried aloud upon his mother's grave and he said, Oh, my mother, my mother. Oh, thou, he did give me birth, awake now and rise and see thy son how he has been sold for slave and no one to pity him. So he has a worldview of his, of his parentage here that they're all going to sleep and he's asking her to, he's asking as an avatar. He's looking to the corpse of his mother. Oh, he can't see it, but you know, she's about six feet under or whatever. He's going to the corpse of his mother and asking the corpse to be an avatar to awaken the dead or the sleeping soul of the dead corpse. Oh, rise and see thy son weep with me on account of my troubles and see the heart of my brother and aroused my mother, roused awake from my sleep for me and direct thy battles against my brother. Oh, how they stripped me of my coats and sold me already twice for a slave and separated me from my father and there's no one to pity me. Now, when she says direct thy battles against my brother and of course this was already going on between, you know, Rachel and Leah for their whole life. So nothing new here. She's like, okay, you know, I'll raise some hell against Leah and her sons, aroused and lay thy cause against them before Aloha and see whom Aloha will justify in the judgment in whom he will condemn rise of my mother, rise awake from thy sleep and see my father how his soul is with me this day and comfort him and ease his heart. And you'll sub continue to speak these words and you'll sub pride aloud and whip bitterly upon his mother's grave and he sees speaking and from bitterness of heart he became still as a stone upon the grave and Yosef heard a voice speaking to him from beneath the ground, which answered him with bitterness of heart and with a voice of weeping and praying in these words, my son, my son, Yosef, I have heard the voice of thy weeping and the voice of thy lamentation. I have seen thy tears. I know thy troubles, my son, and agrees me for thy sake and abundant grief is added to my grief. Now, therefore, my son, Yosef, my son, hope to Yahuwah and wait for him and do not fear for Yahuwah is with thee. He will deliver thee from all trouble. You could even put in the word Yeshua, he will be thy salvation from all trouble. Rise my son and go unto Egypt with thy masters and do not fear for Yahuwah is with thee, my son, and she continued to speak like unto these words and to Yosef and she was still. And Yosef heard this and he wondered greatly at this and he continued to weep and after this one of the Ishmaelites observed him crying weeping upon the grave and his anger was kindled against him and he drove him from there and he smoked him and cursed him. But, of course, this was a miracle here. This was not necromancy. He was not calling upon the spirits in that way. This was an actual miracle from YAH that she literally came to consciousness from her sleep. She woke up from her sleep and was able to speak through the grave and through an avatar of her body. Now, here we see in the Torah, this comes from Leviticus, chapter 19. Of course, Leviticus is the number one book that has been tossed out of the Bible in terms of people, you know, telling you not to be obedient to it and yet there's so many commands in here that it's like really it seems pretty important to me. The one right here is necromancy and it says, "Do not eat any meat with the blood still in it." So, don't be a vampire, it seems pretty good, you know, I guess we can all be vampires now if that was done away with. Do not practice divination or seek omens. Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard. I don't need to go into all that, but this is all talking about, you know, for practices of the dead. Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves of all in reference to the dead. And verse 31 says, "Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them." Which is what we see happen in 1 Samuel, chapter 28, "I'm not going to go through the whole thing. You guys know about the Witch of Endor, Saul goes to wake up Samuel and he says, "Bring up for me Samuel," verse 12, "When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out loudly." Now, this has been commented upon a lot because she is necromancer, she's a witch, and the idea is that she was, you know, able to speak to the dead or else why would Saul go to her. Now, it has been what's really going on here. I mean, one of my speculations is that maybe she's used to parlor tricks, you know, kind of like you see like the 1800s with the bell and knocking on the table and that kind of stuff. And people are like, "Oh, it's Uncle Burt, he's come back to speak to us," or our dead poodle or whatever, but she actually sees Samuel, she sees him and she cries out loudly, like, "Oh my goodness, this isn't supposed to be happening." She's actually literally spooked by an actual ghost, and that's the miracle that he comes up out of the shield. The woman said to Saul, "Why have you deceived me? You are Saul." And the king said to her, "Don't be afraid, but what have you seen?" And the woman replied to Saul, "I have seen a divine being coming up from the ground." Now, in the Hebrew, it would say an Elohim, or an Allahaykum. So it's actually a crediting Samuel to an actual, not just a ghost, but actually a divine being, which, referring back to 2nd Exodus, chapter 7, he would be radiant and glowing and so on and so forth. But Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" So right there, this is not another parlor trick. Samuel is not in the soul sleep game. He's not like, "Well, it's all a metaphor, and I'm actually having a party up in heaven right now." You know, I went down to Sheol, and I came up just to entertain the witch here, to, you know, to give her credibility. And this, you know, it's like, no, no, you just stirred me for my sleep. I was down there sleeping soundly, having a good rest, and I'm being brought up for what? What do you want? What more can you possibly want? We also see this scene in the Gospel in Nicodemus. I quote from this book a lot, and I will, and I want to give, I gave one like three or four years ago. I want to give another presentation on the harrowing of Hell. But we see the saints in Sheol talking, and this is when YAHushah Hamashiach or Yashua, he has died, he's going down to Sheol, and he's going to, and Hasatan is personally bringing him down. And the prince of Sheol is like, "What are you doing?" Satan doesn't know who he is. People argue with me on that point, but there are so many books that just straight up says he did not know who he was. They're like, "What about the temptation of the wilderness?" Well, actually, he was trying to figure out who he was. He was tempting him to see if he was Messiah, and in Satan's mind, he was not. He was not the Messiah. He actually told him to jump, and he didn't jump. He thought he was afraid to die. That's something that Satan brings up regularly. Anyways, and while Satan and the prince of Sheol were discoursing based on the fact that Satan literally, or I would say, I would say this Satan is probably a zazzle, satin ale. They were discoursing on the fact he brought Messiah down, the Trojan horse. On a sudden, there was a voice as a thunder in the rushing wind saying, "Lift up your gates, so ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O everlasting gates, and the king of glory shall come in." And this, of course, is the moment when I believe he smashed the teeth of Leviathan, or Hellmouth. He opened up the jaw and broke in, nobody else could do it. When the prince of Sheol heard this, he said to Satan, "Depart for me, and be gone out of my habitations. If you are a powerful warrior, fight with the king of glory, but what hast thou to do with him?" And he cast him forth from his habitations. "Oh, this is what I want to see here at the end." Well, let me just read verse four. "And the prince said to his impious officers, 'Shut the brass gates of cruelty, and make them fast with iron bars, and fight courageously, lest we be taking captives.'" And this is great, because this is like the armies of Hell, of Sheol, going up against Messiah. I want to see this in a movie. I want to see the Messiah go down to Hell and kick ass, break down the gates, and they've got their spears and swords, and they're firing everything if they can at him, and he just goes and totally kicks ass. But here's what I want to see. "But when all the company of the saints heard this, they spoke with a loud voice of anger to the Prince of Sheol, 'Open your gates,' so that the king of glory may come in." There's actually a better scene that I shouldn't have quoted from here where they're all waking up. It's the idea that they're all waking up from their slumber and they're figuring out, "Oh, this is the promise. This is what we were waiting for. Messiah is coming for us. He's going to save us." But look at this here, this one, the first time I saw this, this really tripped me out, the prayer of Jonah in Sheol. Then Jonah prayed to Yahuwah, his Al-Ahamm, from the belly of the fish, right? So he's in the fish, and he's praying, but then look what he says. "I called out to Yahuwah, out of my distress, and he answered me, 'Out of the belly of Sheol, I cried, and you heard my voice, for you cast me into the deep into the heart of the seas and the flood surrounded me, and your waves and your billows pass over me. The idea of the deep, of course, is one of the entrance ways to Sheol is in the water there in the deep. Then I said, 'I am driven away from your sight, yet I shall again look upon your holy temple. The waters closed in over me to take my life. The deep surrounded me, weeds were wrapped about my head. At the roots of the mountains, I went down to the land, whose bars closed upon me forever. Yet you brought up my life from the pit, O Yahuwah, my Al-Ahamm. When my life was fainting away, I remembered Yahuwah, and my prayer came to you and to your holy temple. Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love, but I, with the voice of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you, that's, I think, that's a reference as a coat, maybe right there. What I have vowed I will pay salvation, or Yeshua, belongs to Yahuwah, and Yahuwah has spoke to the fish and vomited Jonah out upon the dry land, which has happened. This is what really tripped me out. I mean, Jonah was resurrected from the dead, but it's not just that he was resurrected from the dead. That was the first hurdle I go over. I was like, 'What? He died? He actually died in the fish, but he is actually praying to be resurrected in Shiloh. He's already dead. He's in. He's taken to Shiloh, and he's praying for his salvation, and Yahuwah listens, and he resurrects him from Shiloh. That's crazy. Alright, what else we got tonight? Redemption or resurrection from Shiloh, again, I will be going into deeper detail on this when I talk about the harrowing of hell, though I don't want to leave you hanging tonight. So David and Shiloh, Psalm 49, this is the way of those who are foolish, and of those after them who approve their words, Sila. Like sheep, they sink down to Shiloh, death will be their shepherd, and the upright will rule over them in the morning, and their form shall be for Shiloh to consume so that they have no lofty home, but Allahim will redeem my soul from the power of Shiloh, or he will receive me.' So David knows he's going to die. He knows that the wicked and the righteous go to Shiloh, just as Job says. And he's like, 'But you know what, but I will be redeemed. I have a redeemer. He's going to come and take me out from Shiloh.' And then Messiah in Shiloh, this is Psalm 16, 'Let me just read down here at the bottom. I will bless Yahuwah who was advised me, indeed my mind instructs me in the night. I have set Yahuwah continually before me, because he is my right hand. I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices. My flesh also will dwell securely, for you will not abandon my soul to Shiloh, you will not allow your holy one to undergo decay.' So I think that there's two things happening here. I think David, people say this is Messiah speaking, maybe he is. I think David is speaking saying, 'You're not going to abandon me to Shiloh. I'm going to decay, but your holy one, the Messiah, he will not undergo decay.' And it's because of that, that you will not abandon me. It's basically giving the preview of he's going to come down to Shiloh, and he's going to take me out. I will not be standing there. Acts 13 says this, 'For David, after he had served Aliham's purpose in his own generation, fell asleep and was buried among his fathers and underwent decay.' So clearly Psalm 16 was not fulfilled by David, even though David wrote it, the person who did not decay was Messiah. Acts 2 says this, 'But Aliham raised him from the dead, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for him to be held in its power.' For David said of him, then he goes and quotes from Psalm 16 here, 'I saw YAHwahah continually before me because he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken, therefore my heart was glad and my tongue was overjoyed, moreover my flesh also will live in hope, for you will not abandon my soul to Hades or really Shiloh, nor will you allow your holy one to undergo decay.' So again, David sees decay, he's not saying he won't, he's saying the holy one will not. You have made known to me the ways of life, you will make me full of gladness with your presence.' I love Job's hope here for the resurrection, chapter 19 says this, 'I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth.' And what he's talking about here, the end is actually his ministry, those were the end days. In the end he will stand on the earth, he's not talking about an event that hasn't happened yet. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see Al-Wahayam, I myself will see him with my own eyes, I and not another, how my heart yearns within me.' What a beautiful passage, I love that. Some of you might be a little confused going, 'Wait a second, wait a second, you're talking about soul sleep, but you're saying that this already happened?' Actually, yeah, and again, that will be the whole discussion for the Herring of Hell. The surprise ending here is that I actually, while the wicked still go to Sheol, I think Sheol has been emptied out of the righteous, and I don't think the righteous go to Sheol anymore. Now, there might be another holding cell, as we saw in Revelation, because I didn't tell you at the time, but those underneath the altar in Revelation, Sheol had already been emptied out for that time, so they went to another holding cell. So, you know, is it a repeat cycle, is there something else going on, do we get put down somewhere else? That could be, that could be a possibility, and this is why this is so important to go over this. Matthew 27.52 says, and this is going to be during the crucifixion, also the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. And that, again, so you see two things here, right? So, their soul had fallen asleep, their soul has now woken up and raised in their bodies, and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered the Holy City and appeared to many. Notice it says that they came out of the tombs after the resurrection. Notice Corinthians 15, "Behold, I show you a mystery, we shall not all sleep." And who is he? Who's we? He's not talking about us. He's not talking about us. When I say we, I'm talking about the generation in a, not the, not the 1948 generation, not the 1967 generation, I'm talking about the, you know, the agenda 2030 generation, no, he's not saying that. He's saying, he's saying, we as in the, what I call the fig tree generation, the 40 years from the resurrection to the destruction of the temple, we in that generation shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. In a moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump, where the trumpet show sound and the dead shall be raised, incorruptible, and we shall be changed. So again, on the timeline, if, if hell was empty, if there was a harrowing of hell around 30 AD of Sheol, and then there's another holding cell that's going on, and he's, then Paul's promising, we, like the people I'm actually writing this letter to, like licking the envelope and dropping it in the mailbox, you know, putting a stamp on it, we will experience this in our generation, not all of us are going to fall asleep. All right, let's talk about this, the resurrection of some, but not all of this. I never know what is going to be controversial. I really don't. Sometimes I think the things are controversial people are like, eh, I could see that. And then some other like random synths, I, I quote from something and people like, you know, just start, I don't know, head start spinning, but we read this in Enoch 22. Of the four cells, there's this one in particular, this has been made for the rule of the spirits of men who shall not be righteous but sinners, who are godless and of the lawless, they shall be companions, but their spirits shall not be punished in the day of judgment, nor shall they be raised from here. So these are the people I said, we're just, you know, the people who lived a good life. You know how you say some people are just good people, but they're, they're sinners. They're not righteous. They just, you know, they, they, maybe they weren't committing adultery and they weren't murdering. They just, again, they just lived their life and they die and that's it. According to Enoch, that's what that says. Oh, you say, well, what, what are you saying? No, I'm just reading what it says here in Enoch, all right. So let's see if we can find any second witnesses. Well, here's Daniel, chapter 12. I think this is a perfect second witness. I started reading this before. I only, I think only read verse one. So let's jump to, let's read the whole thing. At that time, shall arise Michael, the great prince who was charged with your people. And there shall be a time of trouble such as never been since there was a nation till that time is referring to 70, 18, but at that time, your people shall be delivered. Everyone whose name shall be found written in the book, a book of life, we went through that, that was the promise in revelation to that generation. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, many, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt, but it doesn't say everybody. It says many of those and I've looked at different translations of this. So, you know, sometimes we read something so many times we think it says something and it doesn't actually say that. It does not say that everyone will resurrect. So the righteous will resurrect, the wicked will resurrect to everlasting contempt, but it doesn't say that the sinner will resurrect. Genesis 19, this is going to go into annihilationism. This is what I think is the picture of ultimate judgments and also for those who were judged remember of the four compartments in Enoch, those who were actually judged, the wicked in this life. This is what we look at in Genesis 19. Earlier the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before Yahuwah. He looked down towards Sodom and Gomorrah toward the land of the plain and he saw dense smoke rising from the land like smoke from a furnace. I always think that scene is so haunting, but that's the picture we get in revelation and other things that the smoke of their torment rises forever and that's what he's seeing. He's literally seeing, I mean it had to be a horrible way to die. Some of them might have gone instantaneously, but if you've done the research on the sulfur, the burning sulfur that came down like, oh man, that would have been melting the skin. It would have been so painful. I mean, maybe there was like a big chunk that took someone out in the head or something, but people were burning up in that slowly, some quicker than others. It was torment. It was awful. Essentially they were consumed and they were worked down to ashes and the smoke of their torment rises forever. I think that's a very Hebrew idea of the everlasting torment, but they were judged in this life and my understanding is that they won't receive another judgment. All right, I'm going to skip some of this just for lack of time. I want to close on another notes. What was that? That was ag. I was going to talk about the refi, im, and shield, but that could be a whole other study. And that too. We're almost done, guys. Actually, no, I think that's it. I'm going to end on that there. All right. Hope you guys enjoyed that and come on by this Friday. Now, of course, you might be watching this video like two years after I give it whatever, but this Friday nights, you know, I'm going through. I finished Deuteronomy last week. I'm rolling back the tour. I'm starting in Genesis. And guess what, guys? I think this week I'm only going to be going through Genesis 1-1. I don't think I'm going to even get to Genesis 1-2 this week. It's going to be quite a study. It's going to take me, I think, maybe two or three months maybe to get through just chapter 1. I'm going to be doing a line for line study to Genesis. So please come by. And again, like this video if you haven't, subscribe if you haven't, have it, leave a comment below.
