1.)	This is The Obedient Church of God broadcasting worldwide on the Internet.
2.)	“I can tell by your eyes that you have probably been crying forever.” Yes, Father has been crying for 6000 years because you are breaking His Bible.
3.)	“The stars in the sky don’t mean nothing to you, they are a mirror.” He’ll give you a happy life. Genesis 1:14 says, “Lights will mark days.” 
4.)	“I don’t want to preach about it, how you broke God’s heart; if I preach to you a little bit longer, if I preach to you, won’t you listen to God’s heart, God’s heart?” 
5.)	“If I stand all alone.” Yes, The Obedient Church of God is standing all alone; we are the only congregation in the world that doesn’t break God’s Sabbath Day by moving it to Friday in one-half of the world, wake up and realize that you are listening to the true church, proven by the facts
6.)	“I don’t want to preach about it, how you broke God’s heart; if I preach to you a little bit longer, if I preach to you, won’t you listen to God’s heart, God’s heart, God’s heart, God’s heart?” Yes, listen to God’s pleading with you to give you a better life; don’t you want a better life with all the religions and nations fighting each other? If only you would follow God’s laws—it’s the only way to live. 
7.)	Bonjour Paree, France, sez six heures après le midi, l’heure du diner au France; six P.M. suppertime in Paris; 9 A.M. on the West Coast; 12 noon on the East Coast. Supper time, breakfast time, lunch time, the perfect time for our spiritual feeding today.
8.)	“If I preach to you a little bit longer, won’t you listen to God’s heart, God’s heart?”
9.)	Yes, indeed. You hear people cheering for people in the world that are singers; we don’t hear anyone cheering for God’s way, God’s every jot. You have a Bible that tells you exactly what to do. 
10.)	 You have song books that tell you words to sing. What would it be like if everybody tried to sing different words to their song in God’s song book? It would be chaos; it would be confusion; it would be ugly. 
11.)	 Think of the Bible as God’s song book that you want to sing. You cannot change the words in it, or it will end up in a cacophony of chaos, a “coc” not a cog. It would be a cacophony of chaos, not a church of God. That should make sense to you.
12.)	 You can’t take hymns and everybody put in his own words and all try to sing together. It doesn’t work. You can’t take God’s Bible and everybody put in his own words and all try to make it work. It won’t work. It is beyond physics. It’s impossible. 
13.)	 We in The Obedient Church of God are the Romans 9:28 work, proven by the fact that we are the only congregation in this whole world that does not move God’s test commandment, God’s mark on you, which is the Sabbath Day, and not move it to Friday in half of the world.
14.)	 Every other congregation changes God’s Bible and follows a phony International Date Line. It is clearly all the Karaite Jews, all of the Messianic Jews, and all of the rabbis; they won’t follow God’s sun down. They won’t count to the seventh-day; they follow a phony 1883 Date Line and that is a sin. 
15.)	  The man who was picking up sticks on the Sabbath Day—that’s what happens if you don’t count up to the seventh-day, and you have it one day early on Friday; that means that on the seventh-day you are working and picking up sticks. What did God say about the man who was working on the Sabbath Day picking up sticks? God said, “Kill him.” Put him to death.
16.)	 God’s moadim are “appointed times” when He is going to meet with you. If you have a date to meet with the President of the United States, you wouldn’t choose a different date. You would choose the date that came in the letter that invited you to see him. 
17.)	 Now God’s Bible is one big bunch of letters, and in those letters there are dates and times for you, little you, to appear before Him—moadim, “appointed times.” It is the same way that the President of the United States would have his courier deliver you a letter telling you what time to appear.
18.)	 But you have the audacity to say no, I’m going to move it one day early; or I’m going to use an averaging calendar. I’m going to move God’s moadim one day early, two days late, two days early, one day late by a phony averaging calendar. On top of that I’m going to follow an International Date Line and not wait for the sun to go down.    
19.)	 What do you think would happen if the apostles came back to all these churches of God who call themselves Churches of God? They would silence every single minister for not getting the fourth commandment right, “Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy.” Father rested on the seventh-day after He had done all of His work during six days. 
20.)	 If any of the apostles came back and walked into any of the churches of God, they would fire the minister because the minister is moving God’s Sabbath Day to Friday in New Zealand and in Australia, and indeed in China and in Japan, and in half the world with over 3 billion people.
21.)	 It is impossible that you can sing different words to a song and think you are going to be pleasing God, for you to think that you can change words in God’s Bible, you are accursed. All of the Living Church of God, United Church of God, Philadelphia Church of God, Triumph Prophetic Ministry, Church of God the Eternal, and many of the “offshoots,” and all of the churches of the world, and the rabbis are accursed!! And that is why God is putting this world into a state of war and let it destroy itself in its cacophony of chaos, “coc.” 
22.)	 And you think you are righteous, and you think you are going into the Kingdom. You are not! You are going into tribulation because you can’t even get the first book of the Bible right: Genesis 1:14, Lights will mark days, and whether you say so or not doesn’t matter a hill of beans. What you, little you, determine doesn’t matter a hill of beans because God says in Galatians 1:6 that if you preach any other doctrine, if you preach any other gospel, you are accursed, whether you say so or not.
23.)	 So if you are going to preach the gospel that you are going to have the Sabbath Day on Friday in half of the world, you are accursed, whether you say so or not. It is worse than being destroyed in the tribulation, you are destroyed right now. You are destroyed for lack of knowledge. 
24.)	 God says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” So you don’t have to worry about trying to “save your skin” in the tribulation, you are destroyed right now by your lack of knowledge, and it is so sad because your ministers are the problem. They refuse to repent.
25.)	 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge,” does Hosea 4:6 “ring home” to you? You are destroyed already. Why? Why? Why? Because they have rejected knowledge. “I will also reject thee that thou shalt be no priest to me…” 
26.)	 Hear that Living Church of God; hear that Church of God Eternal; hear that Philadelphia Church of God; hear that Triumph Prophetic Ministry who moves the Sabbath Day to Friday in half of the world and disfellowshipped a member for keeping God’s Sabbath on the proper day in Australia: “thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God…”
27.)	 The seventh-day is the Sabbath of the Lord you God, not the sixth-day; no more than the Poop moves it to Sunday, the first day [of the week.] God says, “I will also forget thy children.” That’s how serious it is.
28.)	  So if you ministers are tuning in, give your head a shake and see if you can “clear some of the cob webs” out of it, that you are going to be in the tribulation, whether you say so or not. And all your clamoring about how you are righteous and so obedient and that you are God’s Church is a bunch of lies because the facts prove that you move God’s Sabbath Day to Friday in half of the world. That’s a fact!
29.)	 You also celebrate Mother-goddess Day, the highest spring satanic festival, the mother of all of the gods and goddesses; and the rebirth of the earth, Mother Gaia, the earth being reborn. You celebrate that.
30.)	 If you have a day to your mother, you have to have a day to your father, Sky Father’s Day, leading to the longest day of the year. Father’s Day is to the great god of the sky, not the God Yahveh and Elohim, El Shaddai; you have sky father. 
31.)	 And indeed, you love your children more than you love God because God says, “Do not learn the way of the Gentiles.” Do not learn the way of Father’s Day, but you refuse to. You want to learn the way of the Gentile and have Mother’s Day. So if you love your children more than you love God, God can’t use you. It is so sad.
32.)	 It is a question of relationship, and priority. If you love your children more than you love God, shown by your participating in Sky Father’s Day and Mother-goddess Day, you will not be worthy. Let’s look that one for you: Matthew 10:37, “Anyone who loves his father or mother more than you love me, is not worthy.” You are not worthy. 
33.)	 Go on and have your Sky Father’s Day instead of the true God, or have your Mother-goddess Day. New Living Translation, “If you love your father or your mother more than you love Me, you are not worthy of being mine.”  “If you love your son or daughter more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine.” 
34.)	 So if your son calls you up on Father’s Day to wish you a happy father’s day, hang-up on him. He is just trying to get his way with you. You have told him beforehand that he is not to call you on Sky Father’s Day. 
35.)	 You have told your dear sweet daughter or son not to call you on Mother-goddess Day, the spring-time festival of all the witches, warlocks and highest Satanists for the rebirth of the earth. But no, you say thank-you for calling me on Mother’s Day. 
36.)	 Well, the Bible says in Matthew 10:37 that you love your children, but you don’t want to insult God for participating in Mother-goddess Day, Sky Father’s Day, and indeed, Turkey-god Day. Why do you have a turkey-god on your table? Why don’t you have a lamb? Why don’t you have a venison? Why don’t you have a roast beef? Why do you have a turkey? 
37.)	 You have a turkey on your table on Thanksgiving for the same reason you have a Christmas tree at Christmas time. Nimrod sprang-forth from the evergreen because it has eternal life in it; and Ra-Osiris sprang-forth from the egg laid by the Cosmic Goose; and you have a goose-turkey sitting on your table.
38.)	 You have a Buddha sitting on your table; you have a Christmas tree sitting on your table; it is the same symbology for 4,000 years, whether you say so or not. That object sitting on your table is like having an object of Baal, and it is always been an object of Baal, so you might as well have a Buddha sitting on your table on Thanksgiving Day because you don’t have a lamb, you don’t have a roast, or a venison; you don’t even have fish.
39.)	 You have to have a Buddha turkey or the god that gave its life for its young—the goose that defends its young and dies and gives birth to the Cosmic egg to Ra-Osiris. 
40.)	 You see you are destroyed for lack of knowledge; you are already destroyed. You don’t have to worry about whether or not you are going into the tribulation; you are going into the tribulation because you more the Sabbath Day to Friday and half of the world.
41.)	 Also, because you celebrate Mother-goddess Day, the great spring festival of Gaia; and you have Sky Father’s Day, leading to the longest day of the year; and you have turkey-god day, the goose that gave its life for its young sitting right on your table like a Buddha. 
42.)	 We of The Obedient Church of God are constantly trying to unhypnotize you; you are hypnotized by your “sinisters” and why would you follow them; why would you follow what they say?
43.)	 Why don’t you follow what your Bible says? Deuteronomy 12:32, don’t add a day; Jeremiah 10:2, learn not the way of the Gentiles; don’t add a turkey-god day to the Feast of Tabernacles. 
But no, you just ignore that; you just go merrily on your way; well, into the tribulation you will likely go and then you’ll not know what happened to you. 
44.)	 Welcome to The Obedient Church of God, the Romans 9:28 work, whether you like it or not. And we will continue to be the only Romans 9:28 work because the rest of your ministers are a bunch of liars, and that is proven by their actions. It is proven by the facts. Ministers won’t even discuss the facts; they will just attack the messenger. 
45.)	 Yes, anytime somebody is wrong and he can’t defend himself, he will attack the messenger. He won’t deal with the facts because if the facts were why are you moving God’s Sabbath Day to Friday in half of the world, he wouldn’t have an answer, “he wouldn’t have an answer. If you pressed him on that, then he would lie and try to wiggle out. Then the minister would say that Christ is going to restore all things. 
46.)	 Yes, read Hebrews 10:26, if you know to do right and you don’t do it, there is no sacrifice for your sins. Don’t you know your Bible; don’t you know what Hebrews 10:26 says? You know that the Sabbath Day has been moved to Friday in Australia, New Zealand, and in China and Japan by the phony International Date Line; you know that, “you know that.” You know that Dankenbring. 
47.)	 And then you refuse to have the Sabbath Day on Saturday—on the seventh-day. Into the Lake of Fire you go; I say that on the authority of God’s Word. There is no weaseling around it, “there is no weaseling around it” and that goes for the listeners of the Living Church of God, United Church of God, Philadelphia Church of God, Church of God the Eternal: they are all going to be marked as not being in accord with the “doctrinal food” from the apostles, from the true apostles.
48.)	 They will kick you right out of the church. The true apostles will kick you right out of the churches you are running, and set up someone who follows the Bible, who follows the song book, who sings the same words that are in the song book.
49.)	 Welcome to The Obedient Church of God; we love God and we follow Him in every jot and title because the love of God is the keeping of the commandments, and the happier way of life.
50.)	 We have a dynamite service again for you today. This time we are going to be telling you about Petra. Regarding Petra we have this ridiculous notion that preachers don’t know where the “place of safety” is going to be when the Bible clearly tells us where the “place of safety” is going to be.
51.)	 In fact, one minister regarding the “place of safety” being in Petra said, ridiculous! Ridiculous? Well, that means the Bible is ridiculous because God said that the shelter will be given to His out casts, and we’ll be telling you all about that, how it will be Petra. 
52.)	  So stay in an organization that doesn’t have its head screwed on right. Stay in it and then go through the tribulation, and go through a lot of pain and suffering because you won’t be in Petra. 
It is so sad. This will wake you up first before I can present you to Father.
53.)	 I have to wake you up first. What would you think if your children celebrated to a different father, celebrated to sky father on the longest day of the year; celebrated in the mother-goddess ceremony and the spring festival? What would you think if you are the father and they follow the devil’s festivals? They march in Hitler’s parade, “Hitler’s parade” of days. 
54.)	 How do you feel as a rejected father? Your heart would be broken. You would be tearful as a father watching his children go to a different father—go to the sky father, go to the turkey-god, go to the mother-goddess. You would be heart-broken, and you would have to disown them, just like He disowned and divorced Israel. There is a spiritual lesson there.
55.)	 Father is heart-broken because of you, “because of you” churches of God who are all going into the tribulation because anyone who breaks the Sabbath Day goes into the tribulation; the Sabbath Day is God’s mark on you. That’s the sign God puts on you. His Sabbath Day is the sign that saves you along with your other obedience. 
56.)	 The Sabbath Day is a literal mark that God puts on you. You can read that you are sealed in Isaiah 8:16 & 18, and Ezekiel 20:12 & 20: Sabbaths are the sign between God and man; and you are going to move God’s Sabbath Day to Friday? Are you insane? Yes you are; you are insane. You are fooled by the devil, and you are going to have to be going through the tribulation.
57.)	 I’ll hit you on the head with a “2x4” and then you’ll finally get it. Oh, so that’s what The Obedient Church of God meant. Oh, that’s why I’m in the tribulation now. I guess that’s why I’m not in the “place of safety.” 
58.)	 Revelation 14:12 “Those who keep the commandments of God…” The commandment of God is to remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy in the whole world, including your members in Australia, your members in New Zealand, in Japan and China. Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy; you wait for the sun to go down [after the sixth-day]. 
59.)	 In Exodus 31:12-13 & 17 the Sabbath Day is a sign on you, but you don’t want that sign so you workers of iniquity; all you [offshoot] Churches of God are workers of iniquity. Enough said.
 *  *  *
60.)	 Now that you have been awakened, shaken-up a bit, maybe we can introduce you to God if you humble your heart. So all please rise, face the north heavens, hands outstretched in worship, head bowed, and eyes closed. 
61.)	 “Almighty, most-merciful, powerful Father with Yeshua at your right hand, praise, power, dominion, and rulership to you throughout the Universe. There are none like you abounding in righteousness and wisdom and the way of peace.
62.)	 “Father, help the people listening in to understand that they do listen to the words of the song book and not change the words so that there is chaos; so that there are 4,000 different words and 4,000 different religions. Help the people to understand that if they love you, they will keep your words exactly as they are written so there is harmony in the world.
63.)	 “Help people to understand that if they don’t show up on your appointed invitation that they will be rejected. 
64.)	 “Father, we The Obedient Church of God are doing our best to make an impact on them. Please continue to bless The Obedient Church of God, and indeed bless this service: both the speaking and the hearing and especially the video tapes when most people listen.
65.)	 “We know this is going to turn into a mighty work; it is a question of time. But like Yeshua, Father, we’ll end up with 120 members though He had 5,000 listening to Him at a time. Well, Father, it is all in your hands.
66.)	 “Please protect our 200 brethren in Pakistan, a very dangerous area; help it all work out. Speed your Kingdom because it is going to be a horrendous time. Let there be no more delay. Call in the full number of Gentiles so we can have your Kingdom arrive.
67.)	 “Now Father we turn this service over to your hands, and ask it all in Yeshua ha Mashiach’s holy righteous name, Jesus Christ, our King of the earth. Amen.”

68.)	 I prayer that prayer for you that your understanding would be opened, hopefully, that God will call you into understanding, and that He won’t have to disown you, and find another child, just like He divorced all of Israel because of their disobedience.
69.)	 Well now that we are in the Throne Room, we want to change our venue and tone and praise the Lord, “Praise the Eternal with a Song.” We want all of you to sing out because we don’t want you to embarrass yourself before God; we want you to be acknowledged by God as one of His children.
70.)	 Don’t just sit on the couch embarrassing yourself because what are you going to say, is God worthy of praise? Is God worthy of praise? Yes or no. If you sit on the couch and don’t praise Him right now, if you don’t sing along, then you are stating that He is not worthy of praise. It is not too difficult to follow along with the words. So all please sing out “Praise the Eternal with a Song.” All together. Amen to that.
71.)	 “Thou shalt have no foreign god:” thou shalt not have Mother-goddess Day, thou shalt not have Sky Father’s Day, thou shalt not have Turkey-god Day. They are all foreign gods, whether you think so or not. 
72.)	 You don’t celebrate Christmas because it goes back 4,000 years; then why do you celebrate Turkey-god Day that goes back 4,000 years with a Buddha on your table, with a turkey on your table? You are not having a lamb on your table, not venison, not even a fish. It has to be a turkey. Wake-up! We are trying to “save your skin.” 
73.)	 “Unless the Lord shall build the house, the weary builders toil in vain.” So please turn to page 61 in our hymnals, “Unless the Lord Shall Build the House,” in our beautiful fuchsia-colored hymnal, which I show to camera one and camera two. 
74.)	 This is the 1934 hymnal that has the [original] words before the words were “watered-down.” “Unless the Lord Shall Build the House,” page 96 in other hymnals. Just sing along if you don’t have a hymnal because you’ll sing behind 1/10 of a second behind the word that you hear. All sing out. 
75.)	 And that is where we stop, [after the second verse] because that is the original of 1934; it doesn’t have the extra verse that throws the whole comment off about children. See how succinct it is if you follow the original? 
76.)	 “Lord teach me that I may know of the way that I should go.” We want you to sing out, page 49 in our hymnals, page 110 in other hymnals. This is the “fruit of your lips;” this is your service to God, this is your sacrifice to God, “Lord Teach Me That I May Know.” Is that a good thing to ask God? because it is His psalm; it is the 143rd Psalm, so ask Father to teach you so that you can understand.
77.)	 I hope you sang out, Lord teach me that I may know of the way that I should go because that is a prayer in song to the Father. That is something good that you want to sing to the Father and ask Him to teach you, indeed, that you may know of the way that you should go. 
78.)	 We The Obedient Church of God are teaching you that way. We are teaching you day after day after day so that you can be a child of God and be in the Kingdom of God. 
79.)	 Now if you are having trouble understanding all of this, I suggest you get re-baptized. You know Peter denied Christ three times. Why? Why did Peter deny Christ? It was because he didn’t have the Holy Spirit yet. The Holy Spirit wasn’t given until the Day of Pentecost, forty days later.
80.)	 So if you can’t understand it; if you are not strong enough to follow The Obedient Church of God, go get re-baptized. It doesn’t matter who baptizes you, as long as they are asking God to give you the Holy Spirit. That is the key: they, or whoever that minister is, are petitioning God to give you the Holy Spirit and then lay hands on you and hope that God recognizes you as one of His children. 
81.)	 So there are three classifications: called, chosen, and faithful. First, a person is “called,” and anyone who is tuning in to this broadcast is called; it isn’t any accident that you found this particular, “particular, particular” broadcast because it is the only broadcast in the whole world that is giving you the truth of God’s sign on you, his mark on you, which is the Sabbath Day.
82.)	 Your denomination is erasing God’s mark on you by having you support them for moving the Sabbath to Friday; that would be the same at you supporting the Catholic Church who moves the Sabbath Day to Sunday.
83.)	 Now we need to have broadcast ads so we can reach more people, but, indeed, we are leaving it all up to Father, for those He calls, the same way that Yeshua said that He had not lost one of them the Father had given Him. 
84.)	 Now the sheep belong to Father; they don’t belong to me, they don’t belong to any minister; they belong to the Father. The minister is to take care of them, but if your minister is leading you astray, and you will know them by their fruits because they are moving the Sabbath Day to Friday just like the “Poop” does.
85.)	 What do you call a man with a $5,000.00 hat? You call him a “Poop.” It is amazing. He has his “fish hat” on, the open-mouth of a fish and a gown that goes down his back that makes him look just like a fish. And he has a big jewel on the hat, which is the fish’s eye. It is so sad, it is like watching Dagon the “fish god” in front of you. It is unbelievable. It is unbelievable how you are so deceived, and you go from one deception to another deception. 
86.)	 Let’s draw you a picture: turn the hat sideways and you’ll see it is a fish with an open-mouth.
Interesting, isn’t it? There is something fishy in the Vatican all right. Google that one on the You tube and you’ll see the priest saying, The Devil is in the Vatican.
87.)	 Well, the Devil is also in the Churches of God because you can’t be obedient and have God Holy Spirit, and be willfully disobedient; you have heard the truth from The Obedient Church of God and you refuse to follow it. 
88.)	 And, indeed, if you read Deuteronomy 16:16: three times a year you are supposed to appear before God. Do you follow that? No. This is based on the Feast of Unleavened Bread coming up, Feast of Weeks (Pentecost ) coming up, and the Feast of Tabernacles. You only appear one time a year.
89.)	 So if your boss wanted you to come to a convention three times a year as part of your job and you say no; I’m only going to come one time a year. It’s unbelievable, “unbelievable.” 
90.)	 And then you go on and on and on and you have all these offerings that you make your people give seven times a year. God says there are offerings only three times a year. Yes, three times a year you give the offerings.
91.)	 Well, we are trying to help you understand things. You don’t even know when the correct tithe years are; you don’t have a clue. You are completely clueless. Answer: this spring starts a third- tithe year. The third-tithe years are not, “not, not,” the day you were baptized.
92.)	  The third-tithe year is synonymous with the seven-year cycle Year of Release. Now our third-tithe year cycle starts in 2010, and Passover in 2013 will be the third-tithe year, and in 2016 it will again be a third-tithe year. Then 2017 will be the Year of Release.
93.)	 Interesting the Year of Release come in for 2018 to start because the days overlap; remember, until March on the Gregorian calendar
94.)	 So all of you who are trying to follow God, remember it [meeting with God] is three time a year; and that the year of the third tithe is coming up this spring. And remember the new moon day is coming up on February 11th, which is the 29th day of Shevat, or Tuesday the 12th, which will be the 30th day of Shevat, depending on whether or not the moon is sighted. [New Moon Day, 12th]
95.)	 We have one minister who told all his congregants that he is a 21st century minister and he goes by modern science, and he believes in “potential visibility.” Well, guess what. Without saying a word [as to why], he changed his whole doctrine; and now he is believing what I’ve been preaching for the last few years where you need four eyes, two witnesses to sight the new moon. The crescent of the moon is God’s sign, Genesis 1:14, lights are for signs and seasons.
96.)	 These ministers are so evil. We had another minister from another Church of God, a writer, saying that they don’t worship the moon. Who is talking about worshipping the moon, you lying devil?
97.)	 “Thou shalt worship on the Sabbath Day.” Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy. Are we worshipping the day or are we worshipping God? Ezekiel 46:3 “You shall worship the Lord your God on the Sabbath Day and on the New Moon.” 
98.)	 And this stinking rat of a minister in the United Church of God has the audacity to say [to his people] that we don’t worship the moon—completely deceiving the people. He is just like this other minister who deceived the people with “potential visibility” and then changes. 
99.)	 Unless somebody tuned into that particular, “that particular” broadcast, they would still be believing in “potential visibility” because that is what that minister always believed in. 
100.)	What does the Bible say? Two witnesses. So what do we have here? A minister who does not repent and he disguises himself as a minister of God. And when he does repent he disguises it more as if he is so righteous that he is now thundering, yes, yes, the new moon must be seen. 
101.)	All of the ministers move the Sabbath Day to Friday in half of the world. All of them, yes so the question would be: which minister moves the Sabbath Day to Friday in half of the world? Answer: all of them. 
102.)	So this is the Romans 9:28 work you are witnessing, and whether you say so or not, the facts prove it. I’d just like to wake-up some of these ministers who like to excoriate the messenger; I can “nail them to the wall” with facts. That’s why they won’t dare to debate why they are celebrating Mother-goddess Day; why they are celebrating Sky Father’s Day; why they are celebrating Turkey-god Day. Why are they learning the way of the Gentiles? Jeremiah 10:2.
 *  * *
103.)	    For today’s sermon I had debated whether to tell you about Petra or not because we don’t want a bunch of “Nair-do-wells” tagging along to Petra. But there are two or three others that are not hypnotized by their ministers, and tune in to the broadcasts, and because of them, for their benefit, we are going to tell you and show you that the “place of safety” is, indeed, Petra.
104.)	That is important to you because you are going to have apply for a citizenship in Jordan; you are going to have to apply for duo-citizenship because if you go to Jordan, you can only go for thirty days, and then you have to come back or you are going to be arrested. The gestalt is you have to apply for duo-citizenship, and the time to do your paper work is now. 
105.)	First, we are going to have to show you that it is Jordan.

106.)	But if there is time, we’ll get to some of the messages we have on what is going on in the world; and how this “greatest depression” is being caused; and about this activated warfare—we’re already in the Third World War. It is already an activated warfare where it is a cyber Pearl Harbor. There is a cyber war that is going on. Remember this Stuxnet virus that was used to destroy all the nuclear centrifuges of Iran? Well, that is an act of war.                                                                                       107.) Now they are trying to find a way to attack Iran without prematurely having Russia and China blowing the United States off the face of the earth.                                                                            108.) It is dangerous times that we are living in. The Obedient Church of God knows exactly what is going on. So now we are going to tell you exactly about the “place of safety.” And you will want to be in the “place of safety” because right now Russia is putting another $640 billion into nuclear weapons.                                                                                                                                       109.) China has a $3.2 trillion surplus and it has no debt and it doesn’t know what to do with its money, so it is building up its fleet of ships; and China has nearly full employment, nearly 100% employment, and the wages of the Chinese workers has increased 7%.
110.) China is the number one car- maker; China is the number one manufacturer; and China has the number one students in the world. The United States is 14th in the world for students, and 25th in the world for math skills, and 17th in the world for science, but China in number one.
111.) We are showing you that the United States is on its last breath. You are going to have to get out of the United States in order to have any hope of seeing Yeshua arrive.
112.) I don’t want to hear that you are going to commit suicide by staying in a place when you know a bomb is going to be coming down and you know the place is going to be invaded, and you know the place is going to be destroyed and taken captive. 
113.) They are all around you with all the FEMA coffins that are stockpiled. You can see it all around you when your government has ordered over 1.2 billion rounds of ammunition, not for the Army, for Homeland Security, TSA (Transportation Security Authority). 
114.) Homeland Security: doesn’t that ring a bell with Germany’s Fatherland that had Homeland Security? You are going to want to get out of the United States so that you can see Christ arrive, and so that you can be around so that you can learn more, and be taught in the “Place of Safety.”  
115.) If you ask me to extrapolate, I could extrapolate the Christ would be in the “Place of Safety” teaching His flock, polishing His jewels. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Yeshua arrived in the “Place of Safety.”
116.) Don’t get into Yeshua wouldn’t come back until the Seventh-trump, because He could come back many times before that. Just look in your Bible and see how He appeared to the disciples. He appeared to the disciples in the upper room, but we won’t get into that one.
117.) So let’s see what the ministers are saying. One minister said, “The idea that God would lead thousands of church members from locations around the globe to a hostile desert, to a barren rocky region in southern Jordan and feed all of them there for three and a half years, carrying them on jet aircraft and steamships from around the world, seems preposterous, to say the least.”
118.) Ridiculous! Preposterous means “ridiculous.” The idea that God would lead thousands of church members to a “Place of Safety,” this minister says, “Preposterous,” which means ridiculous. Who said that? What minister said that? William Dankenbring said that.
119.) Mr. Dankenbring used the word “preposterous:” “that God would lead thousands of church members from locations around the globe to a hostile desert, to a barren rocky region in southern Jordan and feed all of them there for three and a half years, carrying them on jet aircraft and steamships from around the world, seems preposterous to say the least.” 
120.) Well, therefore, then, the Bible is preposterous because the Bible states that. Let’s turn to Isaiah 16 to see what God says about this “Place of Safety;” does God say in His holy Bible that it is preposterous? 
121.) What God says, let’s read it together. “Send the lambs to the ruler of the land from Sela (another word for Petra) to the wilderness to the mount of the daughter of Zion for it shall be as a wandering bird cast out of the nest. They shall be the daughters of Moab at the fords of Arnon.” 122.) Now here is the point: When you translate this properly, which is the first step, God tells the Moabites in Isaiah 16:4 to shield His outcasts, “to shield His outcasts.”
123.) So let’s continue, “Take counsel, execute judgment, make your shadow like the night in the middle of the day. Hide the outcasts,” verse 3. Do not betray him who escapes—escapes from where? the New World Order in America. “Let my outcasts dwell with you,” verse 4.
124.) “Let my outcasts dwell with you, O Moab.” That means Jordan. “Be a shelter to them from the face of the spoiler, for the extortioner is at an end, devastation ceases, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.” In these last 3 ½ years Yeshua is going to pour out the plagues. They are going to be poured out in His presence by the holy angels.
125.) You are not going to want to be anywhere in the United States. You will want to be shielded and be sheltered in Jordan, because plagues will be poured- out upon the United States. 126.) Don’t give me this garbage that there are a number of places of safety. There is only one “Place of Safety” because God in His Bible doesn’t use the plural: “Place of Safety,” not places of safety. “Hide the outcasts. Let my outcasts dwell with you, O Moab.” Yeshua’s outcasts—that is what He is saying—dwell with Moab.
127.) Now our protection is only through being in the “Place of Safety” because there will be horrendous wars. Now let me tell you a little bit about the nuclear wars and the nuclear bombs. You have the hydrogen bombs now. Everybody thinks that they will just be blown- up and dead; if you are not in the blast zone, with the hydrogen bomb the radiation dissipates in 30 days. 
128.) Now with the nuclear reactor and the plutonium, you have a bigger problem: the radiation doesn’t go into half-life for a couple thousand years, but with hydrogen bombs it is only 30 days. 129.) So what is going to happen, different cities are going to be blown-up by Russia and China, and the people on the edges of those cities on the peripheral, in the black zone will survive; they will have radiation sickness and they will die within six months to a year.
130.) Also, the people who take cover for one month, will be walking around; they will be walking around the United States because all the infrastructure is going to be destroyed. They will be walking around looking for food, and looking for anything they can steal from you that they can use to barter for food from someone else. 
131.) So therefore, if you are anywhere around in the United States, with the exception of a few safe areas like the “hillbilly” country of Tennessee where the police don’t even like to come in the section where we are, especially on our street. I’ll tell you a little story, an account of what happened in the 1980s at the end of our street.
132.) The hillbillies here were mad at the police, so the hillbillies stole a bunch of picnic tables from the park and piled them at the end of Lover’s Lane at the Webb Road end, and set them on fire. The police came running, and the hillbillies up in the hills shot the police cars into pieces. They didn’t kill anybody, but gave that as a warning to the police.
133.) That is the area we live in, and if anybody drives into this area, he is going to face snipers of all kinds, of every shape and every variety. These people out here are a tough lot, and they don’t mess around. 
134.) There was a surveyor who came on to the land five miles away from me about 10 years ago, and one of the neighbors said there is some man on your land. The hillbilly got his gun and he sneaked up on the surveyor and he shot the man in the back and killed him. 
135.) There will be local pockets of resistance in the United States that the New World Order cannot conquer. There are 4,000 acres of forest behind me and there is the whole range of the Smoky Mountains.  And all these people are families and they are all interlinked and they all have guns and ammunition, which are not registered and hidden. 
136.) Just down the street from me there is a corn field. Why would there be a cornfield? The corn is to go into the still for corn whisky, and that corn whisky is pretty good, and it is smoother than Jack Daniels or Jim Bean. Corn whisky is made right here in the hills of this area; it is the sweetest, best corn whisky you have ever tasted. It is better than the distillers put out, smoother and more flavorful, depending on what wood they are using, and how they are distilling it.
137.) The point is that all over the United States, if you are within 5 miles of any highway, there will be people wandering around looking for food because there won’t be any vehicles running. If you are in America, unless you are in one of these backwoods of armed people, you will be robbed, raped, and tortured. 
138.) Now do you think you want to go to a “Place of Safety” or do you want to be a victimized?
139.) Let’s go a little further into the facts of a “Place of Safety.” By the way only the obedient are going to be in a “Place of Safety,” whether you say so or not, because those are God’s jewels, and the jewels will be polished the way that God wills when we are all gathered in to the Jerusalem hills. 
140.) I have a song that goes, “We’re strangers in exile, and ambassadors it seems, and we strive day by day, chasing after our dreams…” How do you like that? Someday I’ll sing the song for you. It has about seven verses.
141.) Turn to Isaiah 33:10, “Now I will arise, says the Lord, I will lift myself up; now I will be exalted. You conceive chaff, you bring forth stubble; your breath is fire that will consume you, and the people will be like burnings of lime, like thorns cut up, they shall be burned in the fire.” That is what is going to be happening to the people; they will be burned up. It is not going to be a pleasant situation. 
142.) Verse 14, “The sinners in Zion are afraid.” Pretty bad. Pretty bad situation. Now here comes the punch line, verse 16, [referring to those who walk righteously] “He will dwell on high, his place of defense will be the fortress of rocks.” The fortress of rocks is Petra. 
143.)  I have notations on this supernatural protection. I debated on whether to give you this information, but there are two or three of you out there who are diligent, who do observe God’s New Moon Day, and I want you to be in a “Place of Safety” so I am giving you the truth of this supernatural protection in Isaiah 33.
144.) Now in the time setting it is when the world is trying to make peace, and then comes terrible destruction, and the highways will lay waste. You want to know when this is happening? This isn’t in the past; this is for now, “this is for now.” 
145.) Go to verse 7 of Isaiah 33, “Surely your valiant ones will cry outside.” That is pretty serious. “There ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.” Now why would the ambassadors be weeping? It is because the Beast deal has failed. Then what happens when the ambassadors weep because the Beast deal fails? The highways lay waste. No group is traveling because “everybody is on foot.” The traveling man ceases because all the “Googles” are disabled and the all the roads are blown up.[verse 8]
146.) “He has broken the covenant; he has despised the city; he regards no man.”  Then in verse 9, “The earth mourns and languishes.” This is the time frame that you are in. So we see the world is tried to make peace, but it is caught up in frightful destruction. 
147.) Then God warns the House of Israel, which are all of the “offshoot churches” who are “the sinners in Zion.” Verse 14, “the sinners of Zion,” God’s Church, called “Churches of God.” So let’s translate that for you. The sinners in the Churches of God are afraid. “Trembling has seized the godless (hypocrits).
148.) They say they are the Churches of God, but they move the Sabbath Day to Friday in half the world; they celebrate Mother-goddess Day; they celebrate Turkey-god Day; they celebrate Sky Father’s Day: so that is who “the sinners in Zion” are. See how it fits together? 
149.) “The sinners in Zion are afraid;” they are not in a “Place of Safety” yet; they are still in America. They haven’t gotten their duo-citizenship because they never wanted to. One minister, Mr. Dankenbring, mocked Petra and called it “preposterous,” meaning ridiculous, in print. Well, that will cost him his physical life. That’s right, and he won’t be able to see Christ return because he will either have his head cut off or he will be killed in the tribulation by the scavenging hordes.
150.) So who is going to be able to live through the warfare? God asks in verse 14.
151.) “Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with the everlasting burnings?”   
152.) Bear Note: “Devouring fire” is nuclear war; “everlasting burnings” is nuclear radiation.
153.) They are going to be bombing the reactors, the nuclear reactors that release plutoniun, where people are really in big trouble now because plutonium half- life is a hundred thousand years; it is going to be worse than living in Treblinka [Nazi Concentration Camp] or dying in Chernobyl [Ukraine under SSR]
154.) The cities that are blasted by hydrogen bombs (that don’t use plutonium) can be walked back into after 30 days. Oh, by the way, you could use nuclear reactors without using plutonium; they could actually make safe reactors, but we don’t want to get into that one; we don’t have time for that.
155.) Every reactor is targeted to be blown-up; that is guaranteed because in a war the infrastructure of the enemy is knocked out; all of the electrical stations are knocked out; the nuclear reactors are the electrical stations. 
156.) The first thing that was done in Iraq was bomb the electrical stations, whether they are water-powered or whether they are nuclear-powered; they all are going to be bombed. The first thing you do is to knock out the infrastructure: bomb the stations to knock out the electricity.
157.) I hope you are realizing that the Bible is saying that devouring fire and everlasting burnings are nuclear war. If you think you are going to survive it here in the United States, you have another think coming.
158.) We are on this hill here in Tennessee so that we can survive the “Birth Pangs” and the first 3 ½ years of the Tribulation of the “Seven-year Tribulation.” The Tribulation is seven years long, and by the way it hasn’t started yet, but you are seeing the signs of it; you are seeing the “Birth Pangs.” 
159.) The “Birth Pangs” of it are right now, but when the “daily sacrifice” starts [in Jerusalem] without even a temple being built, that is when the seven years start. You can have sacrifices without a temple being built as they did in the days of Ezra.
160.) For all these ministers who are telling you that the seven-years have started already, they are just “full of it,” because the “seven- years” haven’t started yet. The “daily sacrifice” is taken away after 3 ½ years, and then the two-witnesses start preaching for 3 ½ years, and the “abomination of desolation” sets up in the holy place after 3 ½ years. So you have seven years to work with. By the way those days will be cut short, and if they weren’t, no flesh would be saved alive.   
161.) Right now we are in a period of delay, because Revelation 10:6 says, “Let there be no more delay.” So if there is not going to be any more delay, that means there will be delay. Hope you can grasp on to that so that it is necessary to be preparing now so you can survive the first 3 ½ years of the tribulation. We aren’t even talking about the second 3 ½ years where it will be total hell on earth. 
162.) So, your protection is Isaiah 33:16-17, “He will dwell on high, His place will be the fortress of the rocks.” Now this is not translated in most versions properly. It is sometimes translated, “the munitions of the rocks.” 
163.) Bear Note: The correct translation of Isaiah 33:16 is, “strongholds of Sela,” “strongholds of the rocks.” The Hebrew is metsad, and it means “a stronghold” or a fort, like a fortress. You know the word for rock is Sela, which is the name for Petra in the Hebrew language. So we have the strongholds of Petra.
164.)  Now how are you going to survive in Petra? This why I regret that man Dankenbring said “preposterous” (ridiculous), as to how are we going to survive. Here is your answer in Isaiah 33:16, “Bread will be given him; his water will be sure.” So it is going to be exactly like the manna; you might as well say manna will be given him in Petra. Where? In His place of defense.
165.) We’ll be in the fortress of the rock, not the munitions of the rocks, but the strongholds of Petra. The original word? I told you it is metsad, stronghold, “stronghold” or fort. And the word Sela is the name for Petra. So you are going to have a stronghold for Petra and you are going to have manna given to you and water given to you. 
166.) So just like the children of Israel, you are going to be provided for. So I am a preparer, and I have prepared for the first 3 ½ years, but I’m not counting on being here for the second 3 ½ years. I plan on duo-citizenship and I plan to move to Jordan. We’ll get to that part later; we don’t want to run out of time here.
167.) We are on the topic that God will supernaturally provide bread and water for the people in Petra. It says so in verse 16; God did it before and He is going to do it again. It will be those who obey God, those who are obedient and live by every word of the Bible, whose life is backed up by the Bible. I have a Bible right behind me that is backing me up.
168.) I’ll debate any man at any time at any place and we’ll see who is obeying the Bible or not. That is an outright challenge to all of the Churches of God ministers; I’ll debate you at any time anywhere, in your church if you want me to; you just pay the airfare and then we’ll see who is obeying the Bible. This is an open challenge.
169.) Now there is more so go into verse 17. Remember in the beginning that I believe Yeshua will be there in the place of safety. Read verse 17, “Your eyes will see the King in His beauty.” That is Yeshua folks. He is going to be in a place of safety. He is going to be teaching us. 
170.) You are going to see Him again—just like the apostles saw Him in the Upper Room, and just like He appeared on the road. You have to obey God to understand all this. I debated on whether to tell you this, but there are two or three who are obeying God that are silently in other churches.
171.) They are not sticking their heads up so that they won’t be disfellowshipped, or get beaten down, or be beaten-up spiritually, so this is for them to know. They are going to have to get their duo-citizenship; and don’t you think it would be nice to see Yeshua and see Yeshua’s beauty like verse 17 says? We’ll, “we’ll, we’ll, we’ll” see the King in His beauty in Petra. I would think so that you would want to see the King, and be one of the select group, a very small group. 
172.) We’ll see Him and I think that is a wonderful experience. Now you know why I’m getting my duo-citizenship?  I want to talk to Yeshua face to face. I want to meet Him, my buddy. I love Him and I respect Him as my King and my God. 
173.) Hey! Let’s give you more power here. Jeremiah 48:28: I’ll just tell you what it is going to say because there are so many translations. Here’s the point: Ye that dwell in Jordan  (Moab) leave the city and dwell in Petra (Sela in Hebrew.)  It is telling you to leave the city and dwell in Petra. 
174.) I have shown you that the United States is going to be blown-up and irradiated; and there will be bands, groups of people ravaging for food. There is no way to survive; they will kill you for food or whatever you have so they can barter for more food and keep themselves alive.
175.)  If you don’t have anything to barter with or to steal, they’ll eat you. That’s right: cannibalism. And even the women will eat their own children; so you think a thief wouldn’t roast you on the fire? On his fire? There will be a time of trouble greater than there even was, or shall be again.
176.) Back into Jeremiah 46:16: It starts out that many fall, and they are trying to escape back to their own people, go back to the First Century doctrine, but it is too late for them then because the Tribulation is roaring on.                                                                                                                               177.) There is only one caveat to this and that is in verse 27. “For behold…I will save you from afar, and your offspring from the land of captivity.” So there is no way around this; it is talking to the servants of God.
178.) Verse 14 says, “The sword shall devour those around you;” and in verse 15, “All your valiant men are swept away.” Why?  Why are all your valiant men swept away? Well, God drove them away because they are a bunch of lying ministers, they are a bunch of lying “sinisters.” They did not stand because the Lord drove them away, and made many fall; yes, one fell upon another
179.) They said, Arise let’s go back to our people, let’s go back to First Century Doctrine, to the land of our nativity because of the devouring sword. They were going to try to go back to the land of Canaan near Jordan. It will be too late then.                                                                                               180.) The point here is: we started out in Jeremiah 48:28 where you read how bad it is going to be; verse 8 says that the plunderer is going to come upon every city, and no one shall escape. Then you go into verse 28, “But you who dwell in Moab and dwell in Petra…”
181.) I want you to know that we are going to have 31/2 years before the Tribulation to leave. You have 31/2 years to get your duo-citizenship for Jordan because that is where God protects the outcasts. Remember? We started out telling you about the outcasts; we told you they would be in the strongholds of Petra, and that is where it says quite clearly in Isaiah 33:16-17 the strongholds of Petra.
182.) “Let my outcasts dwell with you,” is what is being told to you by Father. And if you want to believe your Bible, or if you want to believe ministers who say that is “preposterous” after I have shown to you that God is going to actually feed you with manna, I would suggest that you think about it, to take refuge, and do not delay.
183.) Jeremiah 4:5-6, “Declare to Judah and proclaim in Jerusalem;” basically it is saying to gather together and assemble yourselves; and let’s go up into the strong cities and take refuge toward Zion; and then the destruction is going to come. 
184.) To make it simple, you will gather in a city outside the wadi, and the wadi leads to Petra, without getting into all the details of that.
185.) First of all, the ones who will escape are not the people of Jordan, but the princes of Moab that will escape. And then you’ll have to get out of Moab, the Jordan area, and you are going to have to go to Petra. It is going to be a terrible time and only the tough will survive. It is not going to be a place for the faint of heart. There is only going to be the Philadelphians who are there.
186.) We read in Revelation 3:7, “And to the angel of the church of Philadelphia…I know your works…I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut…you have kept my word…”
187.) Bear Note: Verse 10 says, “Because you have kept my command to not let up, to persevere, I will also keep you from the hour of trial which will be put on the whole world.” 
188.) By the way coming up on New Moon Day, it will be the 200th sermon that I’ll be giving that The Obedient Church of God has recorded; New Moon Day will be coming up on either Tuesday or Wednesday, (February 11th or 12th ). It starts Monday night the 29th when the crescent will be seen or it will be Tuesday night the 30th when the crescent will be seen. So the New Moon Day daylight portion will be on Tuesday or Wednesday.
189.) Only the Philadelphia Church in verse seven [will be kept from the hour of trial.] Who are the Philadelphians? They are the ones who are full of the oil; they are not just half-full of oil as all of the Churches of God out there are.
190.) The Churches of God are only half-full of oil because they don’t have God’s mark on them;  they break the Sabbath Day in half of the world; and members support their minister, give money to a minister who moves the Sabbath Day to Friday.
191.) Church of God members may just as well pay money to the Pope. They might as well because the Pope moves the Sabbath Day to Sunday; your minister moves the Sabbath Day to Friday; you might as well pay money to the Pope. It is exactly the same.
192.) If you are in Sardis, God doesn’t give you protection. In verse 10 God will keep the Philadelphians from the hour of trial, but in regard to Sardis in verses 4 and 5, it says He is not going to blot your dead body, your dead name, out of the Book of Life; you are going to be killed, slaughtered horrifically, and you are not going to be protected. There are different promises to different churches.
193.) Bear Note: The Sardis Church of God members will be in the Book of Life, but the promise to the Philadelphia Church is that they will be spared from the Tribulation, “the hour of trial” that the Sardis Church will have to go through, and indeed so will all the other Churches of God have to go through it, including Thyatira.
194.) Thyatira didn’t do very well. All you have to do is hold up this Bible and look in it. Deuteronomy 12:32 tells you not to add a day, don’t add Turkey-god Day as a day of worship: don’t add it; Galatians 1:6, you are accursed if you preach anything that is added to the Bible, and in verse 9, you are cursed twice, a double curse.
195.) Then you go to the back of the Book, to endure with the patience of the saints, you find out you have to be a Philadelphian in order to be protected. And I want to meet Yeshua before all the rest of you do, unless you are in the place of safety with me. How do I know I’m going to be there? It is because I look into the Book. 
196.) Al long as you follow what is in the Book, every jot and title, you’ll be in the “Place of Safety.” Now there will be some who are half-full of oil and they will have to go through the Tribulation and have their heads cut off, which will be no picnic because you are going to be attacked by marauding bands, you are going to be locked-up in concentration camps.
197.) By the way all of these FEMA Camps are concentration camps, exactly the same as the Jewish Ghetto. Do you know during the Katrina Hurricane, people were trying to get out of the stadium, and they weren’t allowed to get out of the stadium? Once you go into that FEMA Camp, that’s it; you are toast; you are finished. End of story because you will never get out.
198.) In the FEMA Camp they will have you on a work guard or a work posse; they are going to rearrange the whole continental United States into trade zones and trade corridors, and you are going to be working in different areas and be moved. Populations are going to be centralized in the 3 ½ years. It is going to be horrific. 
199.) Bear Note: We are not in the seven years [of Tribulation] yet, but this country, the United States, will be divided into work divisions; everyone will be moved out of the cities and be put into different work camps. 
200.) According to the Georgia Guide Stone, 90% of the population will be starved to death, and will suffer from the different plagues and diseases, which will be engineered by your government.
201.) I love the United States, but I realize it is the leaders who are insane in the United States, and they are all devil worshippers; they are Illuminati. The facts are: Obama is a 32nd degree Mason; Poppy Bush was a 33rd degree Mason; Baby Bush was Skull and Bones; Bill Clinton was a 33rd degree Mason; Hillary was with the women’s branch of the Masonic Order, so we’ll actually call her “Hitlary” Clinton.  All of this is going to come on very quickly when the “day of destruction” is going to be happening.
202.) So there is a way to meet Yeshua before everyone else does and that is in the place of Petra.
Now you are going to be shielded; the Moabites are going to shield His outcasts, “the Moabites are going to shield His outcasts.” These Moabites will be the rich leaders who are going to be shielding The Obedient Church of God. 
203.) Read the whole chapter of Isaiah 16; verse 4 says, “Let my outcasts dwell with Jordan” who will be a shelter to them.” The original translation says,“Let my outcasts dwell with you, O Moab” which is Jordan, “Be a shelter to them from the face of the spoiler (extortioner).” The point is that the outcasts dwell in Jordan.  
203.) Jordan will be a shelter to them; there will be people that will escape. Now you want to know how you are going to get to Petra from Jordan. Go to Isaiah 15:7, “The abundance they have gained…they carry away over the brook (wadi) of the Willows.” Now that’s important because the term for “brook” in Hebrew is naschal; willows grow where there is water.
204.) I’ve been to the beaches; in fact, in one beach where we had a cottage, they raised the lake level for the hydro-electric project. Lo and behold! Our rocky beach five years later was completely covered with willows—like a forest of willows where we couldn’t even walk—so I can testify to this that the willows grow by a wadi (dry brook), which indicates a stream.
205.) Bear Note: There is an area called wadi-al Arbah, which means area of the willows; it is also called wadi al-Jayb.
206.) So where is this place? It is on the southern shore of the Dead Sea in Jordan, and it might even be touching other territories, but it runs past Petra to the west. Here is the point:
207.) The wadi runs past Petra to the west. 
208.) Bear Note: This is important; you have to be close enough to Petra to be carried to Petra. The scripture in Isaiah 15:7 is telling us that they will carry away to the brook of the willows.
209.)  Let’s put it all together: there might be some tagalong trouble-makers coming into Petra, but we’ll deal with that when we have to. Verse 7 says they will carry away to the brook of the willows. Do you want to know where that is? I just showed you; it is the wadi; it is a particular, “particular, particular” area, and that is that area that includes Petra, but it shows that it is the wadi in Jordan, which I described for you. 
210.) Now the Brook of the Willows is how you are going to be walking into Petra from Jordan. So what I think is going to happen is that the people in Jordan are going to get tired of having us around: you know guests and fish stink in two days.
211.) You have a guest in your home and after about two days—just like fish you have on the table for two days that starts to smell—the guest start to be a pain. 
211.) That’s why I have separate quarters for guests so they can have their freedom, they can have their independence, and everything will work out just fine. But you don’t necessarily want to have your guests right in your living room for hours a day. 
212.) I’m putting this together for you; so now we see that you are going to be carried from the Brook of the Willows that leads right along side Petra, via the wadi that is called Al-Arab. That is roughly 90 miles long and it runs along the shore of the Dead Sea and runs past Petra. 
213.) That wadi is close enough to Petra for you to be carried away to Petra; perhaps you can float on a little raft that you make for yourself; you can float down the river so you don’t have to walk down the wadi. If it is a drainage area, when there is a rainstorm the water turns into the wadis; so God could supernaturally create a big rainstorm and He could float you right down the wadi to Petra.
214.) But first He has to fly you over to Jordan; that is why you have to get your duo-citizenship and wait for the “great eagle” and that is not a little plane, “that is not a little plane.” It will be one of the big planes, a trans-Atlantic plane that takes you over to Jordan.
215.) I am speaking to you out of the Bible and I’m showing you that God says how He will take care of you and where He says He will take care of you, and where you will be sheltered. You won’t be sheltered in the United States; there is only one “Place of Safety,” Isaiah 16:4: outcasts dwell with Moab (in Jordan)—underline that. 
216.) Bear Note: Circle these words: Mine outcasts dwell with Jordan (Moab). That is where you are going to be. He is going to supply you the means somehow that you are going to fly like an eagle. 
217.) Jeremiah 48:40, “Behold! One shall fly like an eagle to Moab (Jordan).” “Behold, he shall fly like an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab (Jordan).”
218.) You are going to be running out Monday and get your application for duo-citizenship, or if you are not, you can’t understand the Bible. You are going to fly like an eagle to Jordan, whether you say so or not.                                                                                                                                                                               219.) We’ll close with Isaiah 15:7-9, “They will carry away to the Brook of the Willows.” It can’t be any clearer, “to the Brook of the Willows.”                                                                                                                     220.) First you fly to Jordan on the great wings of an eagle, and then you make yourself a raft and you float down the river to Petra. And then He is going to feed you in Petra, the same way He fed the Israelites.                                                                                                                                                                            221.) That is the sermon for today. Sela. Think on it. See how good it is to be obedient, and then you can understand the Bible. If you are obedient, you shall understand the Bible.                                                                        222.) “Blessed and Happy is the Man;” we’ll segway into the last hymn here. “Blessed and happy is the man who shall never walk astray, nor with the ungodly men stand in sinner’s way.”                                                 223.) So let’s all rise, take your hymnal and rejoice now that you have found out that you are going to flee—fly on eagle’s wings to Jordan, and then you are going to float down the wadi into Petra and then you are going to be fed by God. That is what you had in the sermon that you had today.                                         224.) You know that the 3 ½ years hasn’t started yet, and the seven years hasn’t started yet, and you have time to get your duo-citizenship. What a great day for you to have tuned in today.                                                 225.) Blessed and happy is the man; blessed and happy are you. So all sing out. Amen to that. You have been singing this for all these years, and you never knew all these years that “planted by the river’s side” you are planted by the wadi, and you are going to be going into Petra.                                                                                               226.) Now remain standing for the closing prayer, arms raised, face the north heaven, head bowed, and eyes closed.                                                                                                                                                                    227.) “Almighty and most-loving Father, with Yeshua our Savior at your right-hand side, thank you for your marvelous plan.                                                                                                                                                        228. “Thank you for the knowledge you give to The Obedient Church of God so that we can share with your other children precious jewels: the information that they need to get duo-citizenship. We need to prepare to be planted by the river’s side, to go to Jordan and be planted in the wadi to go to Petra.                           229.) “Help them to understand the scriptures as clearly as we in The Obedient Church of God understand 230.) “Indeed, those who you are calling, strengthen and sustain them so that they cannot be deceived by their minister who will say it is preposterous (ridiculous).                                                                                               231.) “Father, thank you for your truth, thank you for your great mercy to The Obedient Church of God. 232.) “Thank you for your sustaining power, and in that regard keep us safe for the next week. And indeed, keep us safe from the police, the state police, the local police, the Income Tax Department. Help us to survive the machinations of Satan.                                                                                                                    233.) “And now Father, we put ourselves into the hollow of your hands for the coming week, and thank you for this great sermon that Father has given us for protection so that we can meet Yeshua in the “Place of Safety” face to face. We thank you for that blessing also.                                                                                      234.) “So now praise and glory, power and dominion, Father, and bring Yeshua our soon arriving King we ask this. Amen.”                                                                                                                                                  235.) Yes indeed. We say it couldn’t get any better than that, but it gets "better". Do you know what we are going to do now? We’re going to lower the chariots; we are going to lower the chariots so you can ride. Lower down the chariot and let me ride. And that is the service for today!                                                                             236.) Closing music is “Low Down The Chariot and Let Me Ride.”
